Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday. I've got it Claude. Happy Friday to you. It doesn't hit in the way that the original does. I know but at least we can sing. At least we can be joyous because it's the end of senior year. It's graduation day, your independence day.

Whoa, like seriously? First full week of 2025 in the bag. Congrats to all the grads. It's so true. It's probably the weekiest, meatiest week of the year. It's weeky, weeky feet. Like it's the weekiest week. It's the weekiest week.

It's so weak. Oh, I'm like, the words you're looking for is the weakest, but no, you're saying- No, it's W-E-E-K-Y. It's so weak. It's so Wikipedia. I hate people who say Wikipedia. It's like, it's Wikipedia or like Wiki-feet.

Wiki-feet. Are you okay? No, but this week was super weak. You know, but you're saying something entirely different. You're not saying W-I- wiki feet. Are you okay? No, but this week was super weak. You know, but you're saying something entirely different. You're not saying W-I-K-I. No, I'm saying it was very much a week. It was a meaty one, a chewy one, and we made it through and that's fantastic.

Yeah, it was a lot. A lot going on, I think, in the world and everyone's lives and culture. Like it was kind of a big week. It was, I was just thinking that as I was doing the stories today, cause the stories have kind of petered out by Friday, which they often do, but mostly because like,

especially in Hollywood, like everyone is concerned with the fires. And it's just like, wow, this week started with such a bang and what a turn it took. I know, I was thinking the same thing. I was taking a look at this week at a glance because I was trying to choose my Queenie and Weenie of the week.

And I was like, oh my God, that was Monday. No, what's so crazy is the Golden Globes were on Sunday. Like everyone in that room is now probably evacuated or have lost their homes. So it's just really the difference a week makes. I have now ended up on the side of TikTok of people like returning to the sites of their houses that are completely burned down. And it's like literally so crazy, but they're sharing things that survived, like things that are like really well made. So Spencer

Pratt shared that his all clad, um, like Dutch oven completely intact. Like it's like the only thing he was able to pull out of his house. This girl, she's going viral. Remember when that girl's car exploded and her, her Stanley,. This girl's, the Laney Wilson X Stanley collab is like the only thing from her house that was completely untouched and totally fine. That is so crazy. And the video went viral now. Everybody's like,

remember Stanley gave that girl a car? They're gonna give this girl a house. For sure. For sure. Well, hopefully like things start to get better. They haven't yet, but hopefully the weekend brings some good news, some change in winds and a miracle.

What they need is a miracle. They need like from up high rain or wind change because it's just, it's so big. It's so big. Sending the utmost love and just everything to everybody who is either evacuated, hunkering down, has already experienced loss. It's just a really, it's a tough week. And so, I don't know, we have a lot of listeners

in that area. So I hope you guys are doing okay. Same, we're here for you. I've seen some people be like the toast, not to make it bad us, but they did say- No, never. The toast was like one hour of just like- Joy.

Calm and joy and a little bit less anxiety. So that's what we're here to do. Yes, and in that spirit. And for everyone everywhere who's having a hard day. Yes, of course, not limited to just one state, of course. People can use the toast and that's like everything about us. But speaking of, you know, whatever you were just saying, I have a crazy thing to tell you.

I meant to tell you this. So, you know, my husband Ben, love of my life, has recently, he's kind of been known over the years for his glasses, right? He wears glasses and he was, for a while, like very against getting contacts. Mostly because he couldn't hack it. He couldn't figure out how to put them in,

his eyes would get irritated. But like a year ago, he made a commitment. He was like, I don't want to wear glasses all the time. And he made a commitment to learn and just to like suffer. And he now wears contacts most days. It's like this big transition he's been through actually. And I do worry about him sometimes because wearing contacts is like,

requires a lot of maintenance and a lot of like organization. And even the way like when we were going to your house, he was just like throwing loose contacts in. I'm like, I don't know. I don't have a good feeling about this. It requires like a level of maturity and control and organization that I know he doesn't possess. So I was kind of waiting for like the first thing to happen

and it's happened. Yesterday, Ben was like really like dizzy. He was like seeing like blurry. He was wearing two pairs of contacts. He had literally forgotten to take out a whole pair and then woke up and put in a second pair. It's kind of like, but had literally forgotten to take out a whole pair and then woke up and put in a second pair. It's kind of like, but it reminded me of the time

I accidentally put in a second tampon. That's where my mind went. But I will say this is kind of like, that's really bad and scary, but this is kind of the second contact infraction because let's not forget when he left a contact on the stair in my house. You think like that makes you special.

I find three contacts a day. No, by the way, and it's actually crazy. I could tell you if Ben has more multiple contacts in his eyes based on the amount of contacts that I find. The nightstand, the toilet, the shower, I have found them. There isn't a place I haven't found them. I found them on a can of soda in my fridge, okay?

So is he gonna keep going down this path? What about Lasek? Well, I had then sat him down and I was like, I hate to be such like his mom, you know, not, that's not like a slight towards Ava, like to be someone's mother, like, to like have to teach them a lesson. But like he was not the whole like double contact thing

was funny. And I was like, it's actually not. You could have hurt yourself first of all. And I just feel like he wasn't taking it seriously enough. I was, I was actually being like such a lecturer, but who knows? I mean, you could go blind. Like you can't just be throwing things in your eyes like that. Now Lasek I think Ben also really does like wearing his glasses especially from like

a style POV he wears glasses to our wedding like so I think he likes having the option he has discussed Lasek I have fallen down a rabbit hole of Lasek eye surgery conspiracy theories and for that reason I have something like against LASIK, even though I don't have enough facts. Like I'm not gonna share what I, like I don't know much. What's, what are, I've never even heard that there's a anti-LASIK movement. What do they say?

You know, they just, the kind of the big argument is that the world's leading optometrists all wear glasses. Like good enough for thee, but not for me. And- Okay, but is there anything more than that? Yes, there is, there is, there is. Just tell me what's the scene like- I can't remember, okay? I can't remember.

Oh, you can't, oh my God, I thought you like really just didn't want to wade into controversy. I'm like, just throw it out there. And by the way, I remember our dad growing up got Lasik and it was like the most amazing, best thing that ever happened to him. So I know it like changes people's lives.

Dana Holdsper got Lasik and she is a changed woman. But I have- It has changed her life. Ended up on like randomly, like multiple times on TikTok, people talking about the dark side of LASIK. But you can't remember exactly what it is. I can't, I'm sorry. I can't remember. Okay, okay, that's fine.

You'll tell me offline. So I brought it up. I'm not hiding it from you. I don't have to tell you anything. Just look it up. When you remember, okay. When I remember like that ever happens. I'm gonna, can I Google it?

Yeah. Be like what? Be like conspiracy theory. What's a negative LASIK? I'll just search conspiracy. Yeah. Even though Google won't give me that. I'll have to go to like. No, I feel like with the new Google AI,

what's it called at the top. Oh, Gemini, our friend Gem. She tells me everything I need. Even like. She's a gem. No matter how controversial. I love that. I hope she doesn't get corrupted. No, she is everything.

Although she does sometimes spread misinformation. Okay, so here are the debunked Lasik's myths. So you know that's the real ones. Yeah, of course they're quote, debunked. One, physicians would never have Lasik on their own eyes. That's the leading kind of- Well, I also feel like it's a surgery that if you see it, you can't do it.

Like it's really a weird looking surgery. No, I don't agree. I'm not gonna go with that one. That one's just like, that's not real. Two contacts are safer than Lasik. Okay, but why is Lasik unsafe? Lasik significantly increases the risk of glare and halos. Yes, yes, yes.

But that's like, did you see this? I saw recently, this isn't giving me what I thought it was gonna give me. Like I saw recently the root canals can lead to breast cancer. Yeah, I saw that too on the Skinny Confidential. Like, okay, rotten tooth. Yeah, I, again, like I said, I don't know enough

about the LASIK controversy to wade in, but you were the one who wanted to bring Gemini into this and like now we've said it. So to answer your question originally. Like dry eyes, extremely common. I'm sorry. These are not like why Ben hasn't gotten LASIK. That's a part of it. I don't know. Maybe he should. I'm really not in the mood. What's the lesson here? Because like Ben is always going to be Ben. So what's the lesson? What's the take? I tried to instill a lesson in him being like, he doesn't even have like an area where he keeps the contacts

like they're just loose. He's just really crazy about it. And it's like, I don't even know. I like teenagers wear contacts. So like you have to just stay on top of it. And he's so, he's just so relaxed. I just feel like contacts are such a habitual thing. It's actually not something that you can add

to your life later in life. Like you either are like Margot, like starting contacts when you're eight and like she are such a habitual thing. It's actually not something that you can add to your life later in life. Like you either are like Margot like starting contacts when you're eight and like she does it in her sleep. Like she knows. Yeah. It's so innate. But for Ben to like pick this up at 30, like it's just, it's not in his muscle memory.

It's muscle memory. I think he should go back to glasses. That's what I'll say. Okay. I understand Lasek would not be for him. Cause like, what then he's go back to glasses. That's what I'll say. Okay. I understand LASIK would not be for him because like what then he's going to get fake glasses because he still needs to wear glasses. He's the nerd who takes off his glasses and everybody realizes he's handsome. When you for the first and for me the only time I ever put in two tampons, like what

was your immediate thought or immediate takeaway? So I've never done it. However, like it, it,, like the idea haunts me. I'm always like when back in the day, and I feel like we also need to talk about tampons at some point. Please not right now. Like you and your free flowing, like please.

Not right now, but like you guys, everyone in like has reached enlightenment. So the girlies aren't wearing tampons anymore. Let me tell you about the time I took out two tampons of my vagina. But no, I just want to say like, when I, and also I'm someone who changes tampon every time I pee. So like there's a lot of tampon changing.

It was always like, oh my God, did I take out my tampon? Like you get drunk, oh my God, what's going on with my tampon? When you are drunk on your period, changing tampons in the middle of the night, that is where things get really tricky. And if you've ever taken a compact mirror, like literally up your vagina, like you know, I was at a camp friend's house,

the first and only time I had two tampons in. And I was shocked. First, I like the size of my own vagina. I was like, literally, how is that possible? I just thought- Just wait till you have a baby. I know, I just thought like the inside of my vagina was big enough for one tampon and one tampon only,

like it wouldn't physically fit. And I guess I'd forgotten to take one out and then put a second one in. And actually I was at the perfect place because I remember the girl whose house I was at, she was like, oh, it's like not a big deal. My mom wears two tampons because she like had a bigger vagina from like having babies.

I'm sorry, no, her mom doesn't. That's what she had said. And I was like, oh, okay. So it's not like I've damaged myself. That's the crazy part about this story. I was like too. Not that you, not like whether you were lied to or if this girl's mom is seriously wearing two tampons.

They make bigger tampons. Yeah, but why would she lie? I feel like she just didn't know. Why can't she wear two tampons? No, that's not a thing. That's not a thing, that's so dangerous. So interesting how that moment like informed so much of my like vaginal health knowledge.

You think you grow up in shurring two tampons? No, not that you grow up, but like some women who like, you know, had babies or whatever. Yeah, they throw in two. Okay. Maybe I'm misinformed. No, no, maybe you're not. Maybe you're not.

Craziest thing I've ever heard. Well, she said her mom did it. And so it just like made me feel better in the moment because I like felt so irresponsible for letting one sit extra long, TSS. Well, I'm glad that she could alleviate an unburden you with that little factoid. With the line. But I'm pretty sure it's so unsafe

and that people aren't doing it intentionally. Yeah. Actually reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me where she was having sex with someone and they found a tampon. Classic. That's just story a friend of mine told me where she was having sex with someone and they found a tampon. Classic. It's just a classic friend of mine story. Literally.

I feel like everybody has a friend. Everyone has a friend who has sex with a tampon. Like getting fucked. And they found the tampon. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess we'll save, we'll talk about tampons at a later date.

It's obviously not top of mind for you right now. No, it's not. Because you're not having your period. How's that going? It's actually not going in the way that I thought it would. That's always been something where I'm like, yeah, being pregnant is hard, but like one of the few like benefits

like to your wellbeing is like, well, you're not getting your period. It hasn't even crossed my mind. What I'm going through is so much harder and worse than a period. My period could never. I just had the craziest thought. Like something that I would never say on the show,

but like now that I've said it, I just feel like it's so funny. What? Now that I've thought it. Like today I'm dressed like an unused tampon, head to toe, gray, and you're dressed like a used one. Okay, I you're dressed like a used one. Before and after. Okay, I am definitely dressed,

I'm dressed like a used one on day one, because like it's giving old blood. And I love this line of thinking. You're dressed like the one that got stuck up there. Yeah, but let me ask you a question. Your tampons are gray? Not gray, but like, White cotton, you know? Yeah, you're wearing gray to be clear.

I know, but like still it's giving tampon. A thousand percent. I love like describing clothing in reference to different menstrual phases. Like remember my old period sweater that had like all those different shades of red. It's in the basement going in the Toast Museum, yes. Do you have that sweater?

No, I wish. I'm pretty sure I, and I was just talking about this with Ben yesterday, like when I lost all that weight, I was like, I will never be fat again. Like everything that was bigger than a size medium legitimately went in the trash to goodwill or to like somebody I know.

The way I would kill someone for a piece of that clothing right now, like I have just sort of given up. I'm wearing like things that don't flatter me, things that don't fit. I'm not buying new clothes. I got so ahead of myself on Ozempic and getting pregnant through a total wrench in there.

And I knew I was like, God willing, one day gonna get pregnant. And I just like, I was in such control of my body back then. No, I was like, listen, I have control of my health. I work out every day. I will be one of those pregnant women who eats well and works out. Like, and I will just have a bump

and I will just get like, you know, a big crew neck. My toast merch will cover me for a few months. Like that's actually what I thought. Meanwhile, I'm like actually fat. I'm not even like having my bump is whatever. My body is huge. Like I'm so the opposite of the type of pregnant woman I thought I was gonna be.

Well, I suggested to you earlier this week an idea that we would also vlog. Where we do closet swap, where like I make a box of like 10 things for you. Like pregnancy items that I think you would like, which I should just do anyway, because it sounds like you need it. You know, I just like hate bringing things into my home.

Okay, but you need clothes. Why? The size medium fits great. Or maybe like, maybe you could partner with some brands to send you stuff like Hatch. No, like I'm fine. Like I'm really generous. I'm not bothered by the way that I look.

I think other people might be a little perturbed in the streets, but for me, like fuck it, you know? Oh, okay. That's not the vibe that I was getting. I was hearing like complaining. It wasn't complaining. I was just remarking on a regret of mine, like throwing away all those clothes.

Like I would be in a much better place right now if I had my whole, I was plus size for so many years. I invested in like actually good shit. And then I was like, I'll never need it again. Yeah. Spoiler alert, she needed it again. I don't think that should be a regret of yours. Like, I don't think so.

Okay. What's your biggest regret? Just like get yourself a few things. My biggest regret, well, you know, regrets, we wouldn't be where you are now. Regrets, I've had a few. So of course every regret has led me to where I am.

So like I have smaller regrets, you know? Like for the color that I registered on my wedding registry for the Dutch oven that I got. Like I wish I did a different color. Small, like not life changing regrets. Of course the teen tour. That was a big mistake. That's like my big regret

that wouldn't have changed the trajectory of my life. I just would have had a better summer. You never should have been on that teen tour. Jackie O. I never should have been on the- Everyone knows about my teen- Israel based teen tours. Just so-

Everyone knows about my teen tour regret. I definitely told the story on the Patreon before, but I went on a teen tour one summer and I didn't have a good time and I wish I didn't go. You also left early. And I did leave early after giving it like a fair shot. And now in hindsight, I can recognize all the reasons why it wasn't for me,

like why I shouldn't have gone, but at the time I thought it was a good idea. Yeah, of course, like all your friends were going. So it's like, how bad could it be? Yeah, it was bad. You guys know my biggest regret. It's not getting in that cop car that one time. I won't tell the story again. Not a life changing regret. Of course there's so many other things. I don't know. I could have pursued a job in the field. You could have been like an documentary. No, a job in the field. Like maybe that would have like

really tickled my, or, or instead of becoming like a comedy pop culture podcaster, it would have propelled me to like true crime. podcaster, it would have propelled me to like true crime. Okay, so it would have changed the course of your life, but I don't think you're interested in changing the course of your life. That's why, like, of course I've made mistakes in my life that I wish I didn't, you know,

but they've led me to where I am right now. Yes. So I can't regret them too much. It's a very healthy outlook. That's why my regrets are, as far as things I would change, are small. Okay, that's beautiful. I think so.

Yeah. Well, should the two tampons get to tamponing and do what we came to do here today? I think so. I think that we should. We talked enough about periods to last me five years. Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be able to talk about my period for quite a bit more time,

and I know a lot of people are missing my monthly check-ins. Right, right. But at least the pregnant women are getting pregnancy check-ins. So true. And they feel seen. At the toes, we make sure everybody feels represented and heard.

We try, we try our best. And when I say everybody feels heard, it's just me and you. And try. We try our best. And when I say everybody feels heard, it's just me and you. And people akin to us. Not even them, just us. Well, without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know. And the fast five stories that you need to know

Thank you, Turtee. You're welcome. Our first story is just a bit of a fire update in the celeb world that also is kind of like leading to new interesting developments. Of course, a lot of celebrities have lost their homes and evacuated. But-

And the list is like growing. But now some celebs are like hunkering down together. One, and it's giving like reconciliation question mark first. Peter Faccinelli and Jenny Garth. Peter Facc, Jenny Garth with her husband though, he's kind of in the way. Fled to her ex-husband, Peter Faccinelli's house,

Ben Affleck went to J.Lo's house. Oh my God, he did? Harry and Meghan are opening their home to friends to stay with them. And I just, I feel like this is the beginning of, could be something. This is how things start. Like when people locked down together in COVID,

what was it? Yeah. Cara Delevingne and- Ashley Benson? Yeah, did they lock down together? Is that how they got together? Maybe, but it definitely accelerated people's relationships. Yes, yes.

Yeah, so- Oh, that's sweet. That is sweet. Very nice of people to open their homes, of course, if they're in a safe place and they have friends who have evacuated. But it's just interesting, a lot of big personalities in a house.

Yes, also, I think like following Spencer Pratt has been really interesting because they're like really sort of just like nomads right now. They were able, they were like part of the first evacuators but they were able to pack up a lot of stuff. So they were just like took clothes and Spencer was posting like, I don't even know what I took.

Like this stuff in his suitcase was like so dumb. But he also shared that he was one of the people who lost fire insurance a couple of months ago. So they're sort of like screwed. Oh my gosh. And they're like obviously celebrities, but like they're not like, you know. They have to work.

They work for a living. They don't just like sit back and get checks mailed to them. Yeah. Wow. That's really scary. That's a really bad place to be in. I know he's been sharing all of it on TikTok. And then they went back to the site of their former home and it was just like smithereens.

Like it was ashes. It was really crazy. Kelly Teller also posted today, like a picture of their house and what it looks like today. And there's no house. That is so sad. And her caption like really made me like, like want to cry. And she's like, I wish I grabbed my wedding dress.

Like it was just, some people were given like a little bit of time to evacuate and pack. Like now that, because like the, I almost said FDNY, like the fire department is like kind of staying on top of things. There are certain areas that are giving like warnings to evacuate. So you pack, but you don't go anywhere.

But at the beginning, like when Spencer and Heidi, they were one of the first people whose houses, I don't know where they live, what area it is, but. Probably the Palisades, cause that was of the first people whose house is, I don't know where they live, what area it is, but- Probably the Palisades, because that was like the first area that was really hit. They were sort of given like no time. Yeah, I saw Paris Hilton posted her, I mean, seriously, like the number of celebrities-

Yeah, by the way, Paris Hilton found out from the news, like they were just showing a house. Right, and she wrote like how this home, like how much it meant to her, how much it means to her family. And it's just. And she wrote how this home, how much it meant to her, how much it means to her family. And it's really devastating. Of course, there's regular people whose stories we don't know,

but these are also people whose stories that we do know. So that's just, it's everyone. Layton Meester and Adam Brody. Yes. I think I saw Eugene Levy as well. Anthony Hopkins. So crazy. This is like one of the craziest things

in like modern history. Yeah. Because it's like, there's nothing I can even compare it to. Like there've been other California wildfires obviously that have been like devastating. Like the, I feel like the most recent one was, but this is like unlike anything I've ever seen in my lifetime.

Yeah. And I don't know if it's been contained at all yet. No, I was seeing even this morning, there are a lot of fires that are at 0% containment still. And then of course there's the arson, which is now- Yes, they arrested someone. They arrested someone.

I've seen a couple of videos now of people starting little fires everywhere. I was watching the press conference last night of like the fire chief and like the mayors of like these smaller counties. And the fire chief was like, I can't speak on fatalities. The police department has to, because we haven't ruled out arson. And if these are fatalities caused by arson, it's like literally murder. Yeah. So it was really crazy. Yeah. Also then the looting, I'm sure you've seen that too.

Like dozens of people going into evacuated zones. Stealing from home. So now this is like, this is crime, theft. It's like, it is humanity at its worst. At its absolute worst. And I hope that they meet the justice that they so richly deserve. And I hope the police are out in full force

like I'm getting it done. The animals, like it's so sad. There's so many different like levels to this devastation. But like the, I've seen, like there's a TikTok sound going around because this guy was like the animals in LA like don't know what to do. They don't know where they are.

There was like this bunny like who looked lost and he was talking to the bunny. He's like, you're on Pico, whatever. And so people are, so people are using that sound to just like show random animals in people's front yards, like a wolf, not a wolf, like, you know, I don't know what the like the native California animals

are, but like- They have a lot of animals, a lot of wildlife. They do, and a lot of forestations. Like there's a lot of animals that live there and they're all like coming down, fleeing. Coming out of the forest like walking in the street. Yeah. It's so crazy.

Yeah. So that's a bit of an update. Hopefully by Monday we'll have some better news. Yeah, like we'll be at the end of it. Yeah. It will have been like a week. Yeah. Hopefully, hopefully there's like an end in sight.

Yeah. Our next story, switching gears. Yeah. Zach Brian is clapping back at trolls in an explosive Instagram rant after his split. So he's been relatively quiet since everything has gone down. I mean, his name has been like absolutely ruined.

Did you see he has a new girly? Rightfully so. No, I did not see that. It's like real underground, like TikTok, like discovery. She's just like, it's crazy how these people like really follow a blueprint. They don't even like attempt to change up. It's like a really young girl

who's a really big fan of his and yeah. Damn. I was actually thinking he probably does cause he was cheating on her the whole time. Yep. There are plenty of girls that wouldn't care girls, especially if you're super young and just like naive and don't understand like the dynamics

that you could fall into something like that. And then I'm sure he's also super charming. Like when he wants to be. Of course, it's easy to get swept away. He's a rock star. Right, right. So he posted on his Instagram and he's since gone private. So I went to go look at it.

I'm like, am I blocked? But no, he's private. He didn't, Zach Brian didn't block me. Imagine Jackie gets blocked. I just want, well. Should we make that the title? Like I'm so sick of I blocked? But no, he's crying. Zach Brian didn't block me. I just want, well- Should we make that the title? Like I'm so sick of not being click baited. Jack's blocked by Zach Brian, comma, story time. Well, also I was only on alert

because yesterday someone sent me a post. Yes. And I clicked it and it said media not found. I was like, you know. They deleted the photo. And they were like, no, you either have them blocked or they blocked you. I've never heard of this account in my whole life.

So they had blocked me. They had blocked me as well. They had blocked the redheads. They had blocked the toast. They blocked Claude with no job. The thing is it's not a person. It's like an account. I can't even remember the name

cause I've never heard of them before. So it's not like tea that I'm not sharing. I genuinely don't know who, but like I don't know why this person even knows who I am that they would block their redheads. Jackie, you're a star. The redheads are extremely threatening. They're extremely influential.

Maybe we like did a nasty review of their book. No, they don't have a book. I'm kidding. I don't even know who this person is. It's not a person. It's not a person. It's like an information account. Yeah, like pooper a peepa.

Yeah. They like spread like actual- That's you wanna know. They spread like actual like lies. da peepa. Yeah, they like spread like that. You want to know they spread like actual like lies lies Misinformation especially about like Israel. So I guess that's where where we lost them. Yeah, but it's like Crap that you care about. Yeah. Yeah crap. You should shit. You should know but it wasn't shit You should know no, is that an account? Oh, sorry. We're not talking about that account. No, we're not talking about that account. We don't even know what account we're talking about.

Yeah, because we can't remember the name. Because we're blocked. Okay, here's what Zach Brian said. Oh, right. When he didn't block me. Said, also, all you fucking weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you're assuming I have a girlfriend

are weird as hell and should be studied for science. So he doesn't have a girlfriend? Everyone wonders why I quit touring and don't want to be attached to music anymore. Meanwhile, you're calling my friends ugly and harassing them Well, maybe it's his friend girl and then they had called her ugly. I don't know what people on the internet are doing But she was cute. I didn't see people calling her ugly I think they were like, oh no girl, we feel bad for you. Like let us save you not get ugly You know, he said I'm not asking for sympathy but going for my friends is so low and so messed up. Apparently I've had four different girlfriends in like two weeks.

Meanwhile, my friends and me are just laughing and hanging out like we always have. The thing is, this is really not the type of behavior somebody at his level of celebrity should be engaging with. Like, their rumors started about big celebrities all the time. Like, this is a person who's playing arenas and stadiums. Like, do you see like Bruno Mars commenting

on what people say about him? Actually, we've been begging him to comment on the allegations that he's $50 million in debt. And he finally did the other day. Did you see? No. He posted like something, I think he had a show in Vegas or something.

He posted and the caption was like paying off my debt. Like finally, it was like a confirmation that it's not true, but that he knows that we've all been saying it. Right, but he literally just said it's true. No, like, ha ha. Jackie, and was like a confirmation that it's not true but that he knows that we've all been saying it. Right, but he literally just said it's true. No, like, ha ha Jackie, and then like this emoji, you know? I'm just saying, like it could also just be true. Oh, can we talk about ah, pta, pta, ah, pta. I fucking love that song.

Fucking love that song. You know who loves that song? Kids. Yeah, it's giving like it's gonna be the next happy Pharrell Williams. I just wanna say like I or someone should start a playlist of like popular songs that kids also really like. So you can like listen to like real music with them.

Got that sunshine in my pocket. Got that good song. That's one, even though that's from a kid's movie, but still. You know what else I found that they like? Dynamite by BTS. 1000%. And that song fucking slaps. I actually think a lot of K-pop is like engineered to be like not addictive,

but kind of like Josie and the Pussycats, like young people friendly. Yeah, no, it's like it's, it is engineered for people to like it. And so it gets into your brain and yeah. Yeah. And I just love Bruno Mars. I've actually recently started following him

on social media. I've always been like a fan of his music and I never followed him on Instagram the other day because Apatow is like taking over. He like came across my feed. I'm like, you know what? Like, fuck it. I'm gonna follow Bruno Mars.

Like I'm crazy, but I'm free, you know? It's been such a joy. And I find that he's like so top of mind for me now as like a celebrity. And I really love him. I feel like we don't talk about him enough. We don't talk about him enough. We talk about him more than most people. And I feel like people's like so top of mind for me now as like a celebrity and I really love him. I feel like we don't talk about him enough. We don't talk about him enough. We talk about him more than most people.

And I feel like people don't even realize I don't follow him, which is weird because I love him so much. And my beloved Bruno is literally named for Bruno Mars. People don't realize that. No, they don't. It's literally Zach and I's favorite artists together is Bruno Mars.

But he's so famous. So I think I remember being like shocked at how many followers he has. Can you check? I believe he has like 50 million. But he's so famous. So I think I remember being like shocked at how many followers he has. Can you check? I believe he has like 50 million. He's really so global. 41 million. And the Apatah is huge for him too

because Rosé is like a global artist as well. She is and she's from Blackpink. So it all comes full circle for me, my faves. And then he also just had a song with Lady Gaga, another fave of mine. Oh, I love that song. Like those are my people. I feel like it didn't take off that song. my faves. And then he also just had a song with Lady Gaga, another fave of mine. I love that song. Like those are my people.

I feel like it didn't take off that song. I know. In the way that it should have given the fact that it was two like mega, mega stars and neither one of them have released music in a while. Yeah, I think it was just because it wasn't as like pussy popping as people expected. It was just like a nice, beautiful song.

I wanna be next to you. That's why't like beauty. That's why everybody hates us. That's why everybody hates us. That's why everybody hates us. They like bad music. They're so gorgeous and ugly things. And positive. Well, speaking of ugly, let's go back to Zach Brian. So-

Yeah, he's just got like, he has this Instagram story with like a lot of text over it. Like it's kind of like a girly way to respond to something. I just want to say. Not only like, is it not like the behavior with like a lot of text over it. Like it's kind of like a girly way to respond to something. I just want to say. Not only like, is it not like the behavior of like a man of his age, but it's also not a behavior of like someone of his celebrity and stature. It's giving like real housewife spiral.

And every time he has like social media drama with like the Taylor Swift tweet, he always ends up like releasing statements. And it's like, you are so famous. You are so wealthy. Like just do your music and like go live, be happy, get off the internet. Like it's loser-y. Like, and I always find like if that were me and I had all this like real fame and money, like you would not catch me getting involved in the sewer that is the internet anymore.

Like I'm here because I have to. This is my job. But if it wasn't, oh, you wouldn't catch me here. Yeah, I feel like for him, the best thing that he can do, especially in this moment when his personal persona. His character is being called into question. It's just like focused on the music. People really do love his music. His music's not being canceled. Just like.

It's kind of his saving grace. Like his talent is like the one thing we can't deny. A musician, like leave the Instagram story and like two Brianna chicken fry. Listen to us, we have got it covered. Yeah. Oh my God, Ben rolls over in bed this morning and he had been like scrolling on his phone.

He's like, are you seeing this Jersey Mike's trauma? Claudia, I literally was gonna ask like, what's the beef with Jennifer Aiden and Jersey Mike's? I've seen it so it's reached such a level that I went looking for the video. I'll tell you. So I was like, what Jersey Mike's? I thought they it so it's reached such a level that I went looking for the video. I'll tell you. So I was like, what Jersey Mike's? I thought they had like a Listeria outbreak or something.

He was like this housewife. I'm like, oh, oh yeah, for sure. It actually is crazy how big it's gotten. Ben had never even heard of the name Jennifer Aiden and Ben knows Margaret. Like Ben's not unfamiliar with the housewives. It's gotten to such a level. It was such a crazy fucking thing for her to post.

She was in the airport and went to Jersey Mike's and had a negative experience with the customer service. And it's my opinion that she was in the wrong like in the argument. But even if she was, even if this person who was behind the sandwich counter being like a dick, her reaction was so fucking crazy. She starts screaming at other people in line,

filming the staff saying, I'm a celebrity. Like my husband's a medical doctor. Like in like the nastiest tone that you could possibly, like I'm a fucking celebrity. Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck are you? And then filming the poor girl just trying to make fucking sandwiches.

Like it was so disgusting. It was such a level. It really was such a bad look for housewives, a bad look for celebrities, a bad look for women. It was just horrible. Then, Ben had seen it because she went on a radio show or something and was talking about it, giving her apology or whatever.

She maintains that she was in the right. I think the issue was that they were gonna make her get back online, it was a long line in the airport, and they were gonna make her get back online to order something else, but she was like, I haven't even paid yet. So it was just like an argument about like the protocol for the line. And she maintains that she was in the right. She was like, I hadn't paid yet. I wanted another sandwich yet. And she of course respects

people in service. She's this is what she actually said, right? She said, I grew up working in service. You know, my families are jewelers. That's not the same as working at J.C. Mike's. She said, I have so much respect for service. I grew up in the service industry. My husband works in the service industry. Your husband's a fucking plastic surgeon. Like that's the service industry now.

Hmm. No. It was so tone deaf. She is, I have, like, she is awful. Like this is actually, you see, you see someone's true character. Like it was so upsetting. And Ben was like, it can't have been that bad.

So I made him go on TikTok and search the video. He was floored. Like it is one of the most shocking, I feel like videos like that go viral all the time. Not of celebrities, but just like, I'm at her rental car and whatever. And it was one of the worst I'd seen, honestly. Like celebrity or non-celebrity. It was really, just knowing who she is and like how she lives, like it was one of the worst I'd seen, honestly, like celebrity or non-celebrity.

It was really, just knowing who she is and like how she lives, like it was so disgusting. No, and it's not dying down. Like every, it's like Jennifer Aiden, Jersey Mike's, like comes fall out. Well, cause her apology was terrible. Like she keeps making it worse. Yeah.

No, it's, that's really bad. You know who I'm actually speaking of the Real Housewives in New Jersey, I've recently started like engaging in content with is Rachel Fuda. I liked her when she was on, but she's a relatively new housewife, but she is pregnant. And so her content has just sort of found me.

I think I'm in her demographic. And she's a cutie. I actually like her a lot. I don't know what the plan is for Jersey, and I know people didn't like her because she was on Margaret's side, and I think the tree huggers were like team Teresa over Melissa, but I think Rachel Fuda was great.

I actually really liked her and she has like a nice big house which is really all I care about. Yeah. I like her too. I wonder what they're going to do there. I know it's been a long time, like a lot of silence. Yeah. Well, are you ready for our next story? Another end of an era. Yes, but really quickly, while we're just talking

about Bravo Gc, also Karen Huger did not show up to the Potomac reunion. Well, that's our next story. It will be now. Okay, I don't know if it made like the Fast Five fodder, so I just thought it should be mentioned. For Friday, yeah. Karen Huger checked into rehab after her DUI conviction

and skipped the Potomac season nine reunion taping. So Real House has a Potomac star, Karen Huger has checked herself into rehab following her DUI conviction and skipped the Potomac season nine reunion taping. So Real House has a Potomac star Karen Huger has checked herself into rehab following her DUI conviction in December. Her rep revealed the news Thursday after Bravo released a seating chart for the highly anticipated season nine reunion. The graphic showed where each of the cast members

were assigned to sit in relation to each other and the moderator and she was noticeably missing. So her rep told the Daily Dish that Karen made the important decision to enter a private recovery program. So she was unable to attend the reunion taping today. He noted that his client was fully supported in this choice. He said, we stand behind Karen as she embarks on this

meaningful journey and are proud of her for taking such a significant step forward in her personal growth. Now I might be biased because like I will seriously stand the grand dame till I die. And generally like a housewife not showing up to a reunion is such an unforgivable thing for me. Like I never was able to look at Adrienne Maloof the same. Never be able to look at Lisa Vanderpump the same.

Even like two years ago when Sutton Strack had like a cough and left and went to the hospital, like please, you know. I hated it. I think it's such weak behavior. Mary Cosby, she's come back from it though. It's like a fireball fence. Yes, it though. It's like a fire. Yes, it is. It is kind of like, but this, I mean,

I didn't watch the season of Potomac. So I can't really say like, where is she hiding from something? No. And I will make excuses for her Mitchell forever. Proudly. But I feel like, especially with this being the reason for why she's gone, not just she's like skipping out though. She could be skipping out and using this as a reason.

I feel like there's a way for her to still be on the show. 1000%. To me, this is not like sort of crossing that line in the sand that not showing up for the reunion generally does, but also that rule has kind of shifted. They've gotten a little relaxed because think about Mary Cosby, like she was probably the person who had the most to answer for, what was that?

Like that second or third season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and she did not show up and then she did not return. Like she was probably the person who had the most to answer for, what was that? Like that second or third season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And she did not show up and then she did not return. Like she was not asked back, but she has since returned. She is being lauded for her performance this season. I don't know if you've seen that she's been, she filmed this scene and then also has been like keeping everybody abreast on her son, just sort of opening up to her,

like telling her that he's addicted to drugs. And she had literally no idea. It's like the most, I watched it, I was crying. Like it was real, she was so upset. She was like trying to like not react in a poor way. She just like could not believe what she was hearing, like talking about cocaine, like all these drugs that he was doing.

And he has since like, and him coming to her was like this moment of like kind of rock bottom, like wanting help and they're, you know, actively working on it. She gave an update on Watch What Happens Live. But so she's was like this moment of like kind of rock bottom, like wanting help. And they're, you know, actively working on it. She gave an update on Watch What Happens Live. But so she's having like this amazing season and she is someone who we forget didn't show up to a reunion which in most cases would have been.

Yeah, well then she wasn't on the next season. So yes, maybe you could, like, I think Lisa Vanderpump could come back to Beverly Hills now and it has something to do with whether or not she went to the reunion. But like, I think it's typically like, you will not be on the show any longer. Anything can change in the future though.

Yeah. So with Karen Huger, I don't feel like this is bad faith. I think it's like a very reasonable excuse. Also the footage that came out of her arrest, like she was blackout. Like it was giving alcoholic, you know, where she's taking, she's Thomas Jefferson's concubine. Did you see her say that?

The video footage, it's actually on par with Luanne's arrest. Like there's a camera- I saw herself calling herself the grand, yeah, cause she's in like the front seat. There is a camera in the front seat, like seriously, it's Real Housewives level production. And then also in the interrogation room, it was really crazy behavior.

I actually did not recognize her. And so I could see her actually having an issue and her taking care of that is of the utmost importance. So whether or not, like, I don't know. It's like, maybe she went to rehab to get out of the reunion, maybe, but at least she's like now in rehab. So unless she's like lying about going to rehab,

which I don't think she is for one second, cause that would be like an absolute fireball offense. But like if she's in rehab, even if she did it to get out of the reunion, like she's doing a good thing. Agreed. I support Karen Wright's wrongs and Karen, Karen Wright,

Karen Huger's wrongs and Karen Huger's rights. And I just, I love, and when you've put in as much work as she has to that franchise where like so many women phoned it in for so long, Robin Dixon, she's allowed to take a break. Yeah, I agree. And yeah, we're definitely being hypocritical.

Oh my God. So the Traitors season three premiered last night. And I don't know if you saw this saga when they announced, it's so funny how that show really covers a wide range of reality TV. So a lot of fans of like, Survivor, Big Brother come in and then they're meeting these Bravo people for the first time and same for the Bravo people.

They're meeting all these like bachelor people. And this tweet had went viral when they were announcing the cast, somebody who was unfamiliar with the housewives put up a picture of Robin Dixon and they were like, oh, cannot wait to meet this queen. Like I just have a feeling she's gonna be like the biggest baddest traitor of all, just based on vibes.

Okay. Oh my God, the tweet went so viral. Everyone was like, you think she can catch a traitor? She literally couldn't even catch her husband cheating on her for five years. He was sleeping right next to her. Like the tweets, Jackie, it was one of the funniest things that ever happened.

Like he was just like making a prediction. He could not have been more wrong in his trader's prediction. And the Bravo fans were like, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this. She's gonna get out first. Yeah. Like she is actually not cut out for the trader's life. She like attached herself to Giselle for so many years.

Like she's actually, she's not good at the game. It was so funny. It premiered last night and- Oh, and so it just reminded me of that saga. I'm sure she is. I don't know. I don't watch Traders, but it just premiered and it reminded me.

Cause like Dorinda is now making the rounds doing, she's on the season. Or was she on last season? I can't remember. I think she's on this season. Or was she on last season? I can't remember. I think she's on this season. The cast was announced a while ago and now it's premiering. Yes. Yeah.

I hate that. Like. Yeah, I'm confused. I think with like all these reality stars, it's actually really hard to keep things under wraps. Like they have such loose lips. They go on Instagram live, they go on Jeff Lewis. But also they're like missing for three months.

So you know they did something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it is tough. Are you ready for our next story? What number? Four. What do you think? I don't think you are.

Our next story, Hoda Kapi's final today show broadcast, broadcasted and she was joined by a number of stars including Oprah, Simone Biles, Kermit the Frog, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dwayne Wade, Kristin Chenoweth. Now I happen to think like when people cry on TV about like leaving their jobs or like someone's retiring and like, I don't know, I just think I'm like a little sensitive to people crying on TV.

I'm like, okay, stop. Especially about like their job. Although the things that I feel about that like do not apply here. Like for me, Hoda is so different. I can't explain, maybe it's like, cause I'm a New Yorker, but like, I love the job that she's done

over the last couple of years. It's a hard job. She's so family friendly. She's such a queen. She's like friends with so many celebs. Everybody who knows her like loves her. I can only imagine what she's really like, like in person, because if everybody you meet only,

I've never heard of celebrity who doesn't like Hoda or like beef with Hoda. And that's hard, by the way, it's hard to avoid any sort of controversy when you meet the biggest celebrities every single day for the last 30 years. Like, I'm telling you, she's just a queen. Like I have a good feeling about her.

And I think so many people like, kind of like the Ellen, right? Were suspicious. No, that could never happen to Hoda, I'm telling you. Yeah, also when someone's crying about like leaving their job, it's like, okay, stay. What if you just stayed? Yeah, no, I don't think so.

But obviously she's made a hard choice and it's a hard choice and it's bittersweet. So you're allowed to be emotional about that. No, and when you think about like what she's made a hard choice and it's a hard choice and it's bittersweet. So you're allowed to be emotional about that. And when you think about like what she's experienced, like lived through at the network, like the Matt Lauer of it all, like she's really been there for a lot. And then also like cultural moments, cultural events,

like I think she was like literally on air on 9-11, right? Like the amount of things that you just have lived through in a job like that is so crazy. And everybody loves her. Everybody speaks so highly of her. Like she's just a queen. I feel like when we're talking about like the depraved world of Hollywood celebrities,

it's so important to like keep a list of people who are definitely not on that like demonic pedophile list. And like Hoda is definitely a queen. Yeah. And also you have to think about the people who watch every day and how she's such an important part of their day. It's so true. Yeah. And like the future is think about the people who watch every day and how she's such an important part of their day. It's so true.

Yeah. And like the has been for years is exciting and bright and now Scar Joe will be a part of their day for a week. Right. But let's, you know, just remember the good times. Yeah. The good times roll, my friend. Let the good times roll in with the homies.

Roll in with the homies. Roll in with the homies. I feel like they said goodbye to Hoda like a lot. I feel like ever since she announced, it's been like four months of everyone coming on the show and being like- I feel like we have fully processed her departure. Yeah. If you had asked me-

I think they let it go on for like a little too long. If you had asked me, I would have said she already left. No, and the fact that she, like they said at the end of the year, but she did a whole week of work. Of New Year. Yeah. In January.

It should have like been a 2024 EOY farewell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're like, okay, now it's over. But it's a proper goodbye for a woman of her stature. I totally agree. And you know, good luck. Goodbye, farewell, a-ve-da-sin, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, to ya and ya and ya.

No, she's really like a television icon, a cultural icon, a New York icon, and thank you for your work, Hoda. One final farewell. Yeah, again. Goodbye. That's beautiful. Goodbye.

I like that vibrato, okay. Our fifth and final story is a story and a little bit of Southern Charm recap. It's a story? It's a story and a little bit of Southern Charm recap. Because last night on Southern Charm, which which I watched because I wouldn't miss a week Madison LaCroix revealed that her husband Brett found a tumor on his kidney after having thyroid cancer so Madison

Shared on the show last night in a facetime call with her mom We're not to like take away from the moment like Madison was looking insanely gorgeous and beautiful So it's important that everybody of this. No, I didn't Oh my god She's like sitting on her porch swing and like this beautiful dress with the American flag, like waving in the wind behind her, like on FaceTime with her mom. And I'm sure she didn't like mean to just be so party.

Be so iconic, yeah. And I'm just like literally like jaw hit the floor. She posted like her look later on Instagram, like shop the look. I'm like click, click, click. Of course the dress is from Tucker Nook. Of course. That's so Madison LeCroy.

It's so Madison LeCroy, but she shared some really sad news because her husband's having all these like health issues in the last few months. He had. That's so Madison LeCroy. So Madison LeCroy, but she shared some really sad news because her husband's having all these like health issues in the last few months. He had thyroid cancer that they thought that they beat. And then he was still like having trouble swallowing. That he, they found a tumor on his kidney.

So she's just like, she said, this is the hardest year of her life. Like she said, I don't know where, how he is like today. Cause we're just watching it unfold on the show, but they also had plans to try and have a child this year that had been like completely put on hold. So like, she's just really going through it. She's such a queen.

Like she's literally one of the greatest people on reality TV. And I feel like she, she gets a lot of praise, but like not enough. No, she gets like niche praise, like within her community, but globally on a global scale, like she should be on Traders. On a global scale, like, and also like the A-Rod of it all,

I always forget. Me too. Some people don't know that JLo and A-Rod broke up literally because of Madison LeCray. Right. And last night's episode of Southern Charm was also pretty Craig and Paige heavy, which is just a coincidence.

Cause she doesn't film that much, like, Right. She's not like a full cast member, right? She did like light going. And you would think someone who's like dating someone who's on a reality show, they would come for the whole season and be a part. She actually like really didn't seem to like it so much, but she happened to like be in town. They had a party at their house in their backyard.

They're being like, you know, Mr. and Mrs. And it just is all going to show like everything that we don't have anymore. Yeah. So that was sad. But of course, the episode is good as ever. They actually have some new good cast members who I'm like really excited to get to know more. Like Sally seems like a queen. It's actually really crazy

the way Southern Charm has been able to maintain. It's like relevance in the Bravo universe, but also like its quality of content. Like, cause when you think about the shows that it started with, like Vanderpump rules, literally not even on the air anymore. And they had like years and years of like drab seasons that we all had to sit through.

Like Southern term really hasn't experienced that. Yeah, they've definitely had like highs and lows and they brought on people who didn't work out. But right now they've brought on a few new girls who I think are gonna be like strong, just reality TV members, they're very much ingrained into like the fabric of their lives. Like literally Sally has like dated

or hooked up with every single person that Taylor has like dated or hooked up with. She's not like a rando who needs to be like immersed in the group. Yeah, cause like she had hooked up with Shep. She dated Taylor's like the guy that Taylor's dating right now. She had dated him right before.

Like they literally crossed over. And then her new boyfriend, she apparently has a new boyfriend, dated Taylor. Like it's just so much crossover. So yeah, it's really good. And I actually have a soft spot for Taylor. I feel like she doesn't help herself sometimes on the show, but like I just,

I feel like she was a nice person who's gotten carried away in like, in this life. And I just want happiness for her. And I feel like that happiness isn't on this show though. That's how I feel. That's really hard to watch with like one of your faves when you know the show is like sort of holding them back. Holding them back from a happy life,

not from success and fame and fortune. No, I feel like that's how Naomi was. Like the show didn't serve her. Yeah. Towards the end. But it's hard to walk away from something like that. You make really good money. You have a lot of opportunities, but like I think like Olivia is no longer on the end. But it's hard to walk away from something like that. You make really good money. You have a lot of opportunities.

But like, I think, like Olivia's no longer on the show. I think she like found love and moved on with her life. Good, good, good, good. You know? Yeah. So it's still my fave. And anyways, just like praying for Madison's family. I love her.

I love her. Well, those were the past five stories and you definitely needed to know every single one of them. But what you really do need to know is Queenie and Weenie of the Week. You do, and I just want to say another loss for the community was the burgeoning friendship between Paige and Madison. Agreed.

Because like, I think that was one of Paige's favorite parts about Charleston was like, should we get together with Madison? Like they would always like come to the house or double date and like- And like that's someone on her level. Like glamorous wise, brain, like personality, funny. Yeah, it's hard to find someone on your level.

I'm sure they'll stay friendly, but like of course it's gonna peter out. She's not in her city every other week. And that's a loss for the Q-munity. 1000%. Now, speaking of the Q-munity, a way Jackie and I like to give back to the community is our weekly segment, Queenie and Weenie of the Week.

Every Friday, we like to wrap up the week, take a look at the week at a glance, and give out an award to somebody who acted like a Queenie this week and somebody who acted like a Weenie this week. Now, it is a temporary title. It's not meant to be so serious. Like, obviously, the people who are starting fires in LA, like, they're not Weenies of the Week. Like, they're the criminals of the week.

And so this is not reserved for them. It's all in good fun. You can be Queenie one week, Weenie the next, Weenie one week, Queenie the next. It's never happened, but those things are possible. Now Jackie, tell me who you chose for Queenie of the week. My Queenie of the week, lest we not forget was Nikki Glaser

crushing it at the Golden Globes. She had a great week and she deserves all the accolades. And she did a job that is apparently really hard because nobody can fucking do it. I also chose Nikki Glaser as my Weenie of the week. I forgot that that was this week. Excuse me, Queenie. Oh my God, for an insulin. I forgot that that was this week, but the way she made me feel like that is valuable. Like I was actually laughing. I just cannot remember a time where I watched something that I thought was genuinely funny. It's like sometimes

you're like, ha ha, but it was so funny. She was, made me proud as a woman, as a podcaster. Like she was just, and she looked gorgeous while doing it. And she's like continuing to like make waves and went out Howard Stern. Like it's been brilliantly done. She is a friend of the toast. You should listen to her on the toast. She was great.

And I love her. Love her very much Queenie behavior. And now my weenie, like Claudia said, like typically when someone has like committed a crime or done something illegal or hurt somebody, like they're not a weenie, like Claudia said, like typically when someone has like committed a crime or done something illegal or hurt somebody, like they're not a weenie, they're just like a terrible person and this is meant to be more lighthearted. And I do think like a weenie who has emerged

from this California wildfire situation is David Mirror. We didn't even talk about him. Oh my God, that is so funny. I didn't know what you were gonna say. Yeah, you know what? Like of course the mayor and the government, like they have done like really been negligent in their duties.

But that's not where we're. That's not like weenie behavior. Weenie behavior is David Muir wearing a firefighter's jacket to do his broadcast on the California wildfires. And he like has it like clipped in the back to be like cinched waist, cinched pecs to be like looking like, I don't know, handsome firefighter.

So he's like cosplaying. Okay, what had happened was that like David Muir during the election cycle, I think that was a lot of people's introduction to him. So I obviously like, I know him because- He's like, well news tonight, he's like a face. He's always on before Jeopardy, but he's not, I wouldn't say he was like so famous

as like a person and like people didn't like have crushes on him, but he was making, he moderated one of the presidential elections. He had like a good year. Okay. And I think it brought him into popular culture. He existed very much as like a big fish in his pond. But I think a lot of people were like, oh, who's this daddy? And there was a lot of complimentary, you know, content about his books. Because he's a good looking guy. Extremely. And he's like, you know, quaffed. He wears, like, he definitely wears makeup. He has like his hair slick back.

And I think he liked that attention for sure. Like who, literally who wouldn't when your job is like so boring and like you're probably always getting yelled at by like everybody on your side, everybody on the other side. And so I could see how he fell down the slippery slope and ended up with a cinch waist.

I could see it's so human of David Muir. And I feel like he would probably say like, this is what they wanted for me. Like they wanted like the firefighting newscasters daddy. Yeah, but he wore a fireman's jacket to broadcast in front of the fires, which like where did he get that jacket? Amazon? It was jacket. It was no, it was monogrammed ABC. Like ABC made it for the newscasters. Okay. Well, I guess they're in a dangerous situation. So maybe you need fireproof. It's protective. You need fireproof, but he used clips in the back and he turns at one point and you can see

that he's cinched the jacket to make it look like tighter and buffer. Yes. And by the way, I read a lot of commentary about it because this is like something fairly common that you do in like wardrobe for TV. Cause like people share clothes. You can't have things tailored.

They're borrowed. So you will take like, you know those binder clips that you used to use in like high school? You will take it and like make something fit. Or clothes pin clip is like- That's what he was using. And so people are like, well, this isn't a big deal. It's really normal.

And like, while actually I agree, it is like a very typical like TV wardrobe thing to do, the level of cinching was definitely extreme. No, but also in the midst of firefighting, like who's worried about how the jacket hugs you? Yeah, no. It was a weenie move, like Barry, you hate to see it. And you know what?

If he didn't turn around and show us the pin, I wouldn't have thought much about the level of tightness of his jacket, but now that it's been cinched and I'm looking, I'm like, why is your jacket so tight? It's like literally, it's like a protective vest. Like it doesn't need to be. No, and it's like something that you throw on to protect yourself while you're out here,

like covering news, fighting fires, helping people, saving lives. And it's like, oh, you cinch the waist? Yeah. And if we never saw it, we would have never known him. He'd be like, damn, he really fills out that jacket. Yeah, oh, daddy over here, fire daddy. That's what he was going for.

And he just turned a few too many degrees. So embarrassing. That's a really good one. He looked like a weenie. My weenie is kind of mean. I'm okay. But it's Alison Holker, boss. Or Alison Holker, drop the boss three days later.

May boss. You know, I hate to be like, you know, this person, but I would be lying if I didn't say like, you know, the last couple of years of her content and like interviews like didn't like rub me in a weird way, you know, you don't want to say anything mean. Cause like it's, you know, everybody does, you know, the grief their own way, but I've always been like,

it's kind of thirsty, but you would never say that. You would never have made her a weenie of the week. No, but now to have the mother of your deceased husband have to release a statement about you, is so weenie. It's so bad faith. And it kind of confirms, I think, what a lot of people's instinct, gut reactions

to some of her choices over the last couple of years. Because I've thought, but I would never say, but now knowing like her mother-in-law, brother-in-law, your husband's ex friends, like they, they all think we're, oh, I agree. Like we all were like sensing this. And so now we've said it. And so now we said it,

the releasing of someone's journal entries is so, it's such a crazy thing to do. Like the more you really truly think about it, especially if this person, it's actually, it's up for crazy thing to do. Like the more you really truly think about it, especially if this person, it's actually, it's up for debate if he was dealing with this thing. Like so many people in his life are saying actually, like he wasn't, but even if he was,

like it's just, it's such a like actually low thing to do. I agree. So I'm sorry, it's weenie. It's weenie. That's Queenie and Weenie. That is our show. Thank you. I love how you's Queenie and Weenie. That is our show. Thank you. I love how you've been writing that in your notebook.

I have my notebook, so I wrote down Queenie and Weenie. And then hopefully I do it every week. And then by the end of the year, I'll be able to see every single one. Oh, I love that. So I'm gonna write down yours? Yeah. Okay.

We need to start writing more things down. I love writing things down. So my Queenie was Nikki and then my weenie was Allison. And then also we're gonna look back and be like, who's Allison? Literally. That's our show you guys. Thank you so much for listening to the Toast of the Morning
