Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Tuesday! Hope everybody's having a great day! Speaking of choosing, and the girl I always choose... Your first choice... It's ladies' choice, choice, choice, I'm the ladies, do-do-do-do-do. It's Jax! It's me, hey, Lat Tour de Loo in the two.
Starting point is 00:00:25 What's day? La Tour de Loo in the two. One, two. La Tour de Loo on the ones and twos. Tour de Loo is always on the ones and the twos. So true. Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to the toast, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:43 I'm still coming down from my Disney high and now I'm in a Disney content high. Like last night, Olivia and I recorded a Disney podcast episode that was over one hour recapping our time at Disney, answering everybody's questions. I think we got to everything, like everything that happened, every thought in my head, every question that people had. I think we covered the gamut. And so now I'm just like reliving the dizz. I need to listen to the episode. And that's a fun place to be. I haven't listened to it yet
Starting point is 00:01:09 because Jackie put it up immediately. The people needed to know what, you know, the tea was. So I haven't been able to listen to it, but let me tell you, I've literally never been so excited to listen to something. Oh, I'm so excited for you to listen to it. And actually Zach Shapiro makes a cameo at the end. Obsessed.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Because he felt like he was misrepresented on the toast and he wanted to clear, he wanted to clear his name. And so I said, Liv, have him record an audio recording speaking his truth. And I'll put it at the, he put out a statement at the end of the episode with his thoughts on Disney. Okay. That's so funny. And he called me to kind of like feeling as though we besmirched his good name on the episode of The Toast and I just want to say the fact that he listens to The Toast like obsessed. Yeah everyone was kind of listening to The Toast to see what we thought about Disney. It's such a thing Disney. It is. It's crazy. It is a thing. And having put one foot into that world it's hard to like just toggle between two different worlds. One of a magical elf. I mean that's how Harry Potter felt. And the other of a realistic
Starting point is 00:02:19 elk. I cannot wait to listen to that episode and what's so exciting is that if you're a Patreon member, you'll obviously be able to listen to that recap with Olivia and Zach and Jackie. But tonight we're doing a special live podcast episode, which is something before Jackie moved back to New York and things got a little hectic. We used to do once a month and then we totally forgot about it. And then the other day we were like, wait, remember? Freaking Fred, our iconic monthly live podcast on YouTube. And we're doing it again tonight.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So 8 p.m. Eastern time. It's not too late. If you want to become a Patreon member, join live. You can comment live. We're all going to be like just chilling, laughing, giggling, having a cocktail. Like it's going to be so much fun. I've missed these live episodes. I actually haven't done one for my new apartment.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Exciting. I'll be here in the studio. Live show. It's Morning Toast live show at 8 p.m. It's Evening To. Live show. It's Morning Toast live show at 8 p.m. It's Evening Toast live show. It's Morning Toast live. Also, I'm getting a haircut today at 6 o'clock. Your hair looks like it just was cut. Oh, thank you. It wasn't. I'm like so sick of my hair, which is why I'm getting a haircut,
Starting point is 00:03:20 that I did something different with it. I was going to say like your hair looks different. So how are you sick of it? But that makes sense. It looks different because you're sick. I diced and air wrapped, which makes it shorter. I do feel like my hair is too long.
Starting point is 00:03:32 That's why it looks like a little fresh today, but it will look much better tomorrow. And I think if you want to see the haircut, like, you know, before everyone else sneak peek, you got to join the YouTube live podcast for the toast. Freaking Fred,
Starting point is 00:03:45 January episode. Never too late. Sign up at patreon.com slash the Toast. Yeah, it's never too late to become a patron because we'll always be there and we'll always be churning out new content. But it's time. Like the Patreon is popping. That's where it goes down in the Patreon.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I feel like we're always on this show talking about things that happened on the Patreon. And if you want the whole 360 view of the toast. And you do. You've got to be a patron. And you do. You don't want to just be looking at it two dimensionally. Life is so much better in 3D.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah, that's why we wore our 3D glasses for Mickey's PhilharMagic. Exactly. Except I have to be honest, I hate 3D. Glasses, movies, like, oh my God, Donald's like flying at my face, throwing pots and pans. Like, calm down, Donald. Calm down, Donald. He can't. And also, are
Starting point is 00:04:34 you supposed to be able to understand what Donald is saying? You know how he talks like a duck? He's like, you've got the wrong bitch here. Like, I don't know. Sorry, I'm not asking you. I'm asking the broader audience. The broad audience. Donald talks like... But he's saying stuff. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:04:50 That was like a really good... Classic Donald. I think you are supposed to understand him now. I don't think so because it's so unintelligible. So maybe... Seriously, he's supposed to represent nonverbal. There are kids who are nonverbal. Maybe that's his.
Starting point is 00:05:05 That's true. That's his role. I want to know if we're supposed to understand Donald because if we are like he's too difficult to decipher. And if we're not, it's like, well, why are we listening to nonsense? Right. And it's like when you do understand him, he is saying things. So it's like nobody hears Donald. What about what Donald thinks?
Starting point is 00:05:23 I feel like Donald is literally in a prison of his own mind yeah but it's also nice for him because i feel like he gets to remove himself from mickey and mickey's ego and mickey's narcissism which when i watched mickey mouse clubhouse like it really is becoming crazy how mickey is kim Jong-un. Totally. You know, but then when I went to Disney, I had an appreciation for Mickey and his, what I would instead call branding. Right. Because like, let's not forget, like he was the first bitch here.
Starting point is 00:05:57 He invented this whole family. So let's just, yes, he's definitely a diva, egomaniac giving, you know, Victoria Justice energy. Having said that, I do feel like he's earned the right. Right. Like what he's built is incredible. When I watch the show, it's even crazy. What he's built is incredible. It's even crazy when you watch the show, Mickey's ears are never,
Starting point is 00:06:14 like if he turns to the side, his ears are still facing the front. Like he's never actually caught out. Where like he always two circles facing you, no matter if he had turned any degree i wonder what the symbolism is there because it's like they are going so hard for the mickey branding the ears yeah you're right i mean they're selling it works but but then when you see mickey at disney world like his ears aren't like that and he's a real boy too and mickey has feelings too it just really humanizes mickey i get it you know i do i do really see him in a new light yeah like mickey has a fupa
Starting point is 00:06:51 wait am i mickey wait mickey does have a fupa low-key and those pants are super unflattering yeah but it's humanizing. Yeah, and is Mickey supposed to be like a child or a 97-year-old man? Mickey is an elder, not 97, but I would say Mickey is in his 30s, 40s. That's weird. I guess so. And then also, Mickey and Minnie, brother and sister or husband and wife?
Starting point is 00:07:25 So unclear, it's disgusting. I think that they are husband and Minnie, brother and sister or husband and wife? So unclear. It's disgusting. I think that they are husband and wife, but there's a lot of things that it could go either way. Like in one of the books that we have, they have nieces and nephews. Morty and Ferdy and Millie. Right. So. And it's like they could be still the aunts and uncle from being brother and sister or by marriage. Okay. No, they're definitely married because like what are the odds that Mickey and Minnie,
Starting point is 00:07:47 if they're siblings, they both don't have kids? Oh, they have another. Oh, yeah, and where did their, whose are the parents? Who are the parents of Forty and Murty and Millie? Mickey has a brother or sister. He acts like an only child. He does act like an only child, and I don't know. We need a family tree stat we are but i'm sure one exists because the
Starting point is 00:08:10 world of disney it doesn't happen by happenstance like everything is very much tethered it's thoughtful and it's like it's well thought out and there definitely is like a disney library where they have all the archives and there's a family there's definitely a family tree there where they have all the archives. And there's definitely a family tree there. Yeah, for sure. I just can't believe we're talking about Disney era. I never thought we would be there.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I'm kind of like a hater. But such is life. My life recently is just talking about and enjoying things like I used to make fun of. And I just need to get over it. No, every day it's more and more with you. Like the person that you are, it's shocking. I'm glad that you're aware. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I'm not blind. Like, duh. But the way 2020 you would clown on 2024 you is wild. But 2024 you is clowning on 2020 you. Of course, you know, Downton Abbey comes to mind, which reminds me that I attempted again last night to watch The Guilted Age season two. And I didn't realize I've tried already,
Starting point is 00:09:15 I think like three times. I am only on episode two and it's like unwatchable. So it's not a good show, but we're so desperate for content of that elk yeah that we all pretend like it is and we just accept it and we all no one wants to say to julian fellows like you done messed up yeah because it's julian fellows there are a lot of things wrong with the show and i think the biggest one is like cynthia nixon never should have been a part of that show. Like she's just it's the least believable thing on the planet.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I'm sorry. It's like why is Miranda Hobbs cosplaying? It's just too much. Yeah. And and I said this on the phone. It's going to be a really honest and kind of mean thing to say. There is nobody on the show, boy or girl, who's like really, really, really beautiful or handsome. And like they're all just kind of like average looking.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And I don't know. I just want to watch a show of beautiful people. That's how I feel. That is like something that's important to me when I watch a show. And there are some shows that come to mind that I had obstacles getting into because I didn't see the beauty in it. The screen is for the exceptionally beautiful, right? And where are they? Yeah especially when the storyline is about how one person is like captivating the town
Starting point is 00:10:32 and it's like well you have to be captivating then. Yeah no and the acting is just bad and it's like it really is giving community theater. It's so community theater even the set. The set that street 61st street like fraudulent it's so fraudulent I think the woman who's cast as the new money neighbor across the street is really one of the worst castings like she's that's so funny I really like her I like her character and I like her as a actress but not together no not one person that I see on the screen like you could ever ever make me believe actually is living in that time period. Except weirdly, Mrs. Astor.
Starting point is 00:11:07 She's so classic. Yeah. No, it's it's community theater. And I am. I'm officially giving up on the show. OK, maybe you should watch the Buccaneers. OK. I think you would like it because it's like old timey vibes with like Gen Z attitude.
Starting point is 00:11:25 It's like Bridgerton. Last night I also started to watch. Maybe I was just having a night where I couldn't get into stuff, which happens all the time. I started to watch season two of The Traitors on Peacock because everybody's talking about it. And mostly I just wanted to watch it because my girl Mercedes Chavit is on there. And like she's just reality TV gold. Then I realized I had some other good cast members, especially mostly from Bravo. They had Phaedra, also another professional reality star,
Starting point is 00:11:46 Tamara Judge. But there were like a lot of people who I didn't know because they cast from like Big Brother, Survivor, MTV's The Challenge. And so honestly, I knew less than half. I would say maybe I knew five characters and it was uninteresting and I turned it off. And do they have any lay people on the show?
Starting point is 00:12:01 No, and it's weirdly hosted by Alan Cummings. And when i saw that i was like oh he obviously just like pre-records in a studio and then like is the host no they filmed at this like palace in scotland it was actually really sick and i've seen that and he's there like there with them like doing the challenge not like doing the challenges but like hosting involved i wonder why he took that gig it's so incongruous with everything we know about him i just feel like alan coming once you think you figured him out he goes and swerves on you why he took that gig. It's so incongruous with everything we know about him. I just feel like Alan Cumming,
Starting point is 00:12:26 once you think you figured him out, he goes and swerves on you. Yeah, I one time saw Alan Cumming riding a bike in the city and I was like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:12:33 that's Alan Cumming. I like said it out loud because I was like having the discovery and he was like, it is Alan Cumming and then just kept driving. It was actually like
Starting point is 00:12:38 so, such a New York moment. Classic Alan Cumming. C-A-C. I imagine that was a hard last name to grow up with. He seems to have persevered. Yeah. How was I just having this conversation with? I forget who. But it was like talking about how celebrities are kind of like for the most part, and I mean traditional, not influencers or models, like traditional celebrities who act or sing
Starting point is 00:13:02 are for the most part like geeks trapped in the bodies of extremely good-looking people. Because when you think about it, like they really all were like theater nerds and they were never the popular kids. Yeah. So you see them in interviews and they're acting weird and everybody's like, this is weird. It's really not.
Starting point is 00:13:19 No, I think a lot of people realize that, that the actors and actresses are the theater kids from your class but it's weird because you know those aren't always the most beautiful people in the classroom but then they all become beautiful in Hollywood yeah it's weird how like or maybe that's just the Hollywood magic is like they only select the beautiful the beautiful theater geeks right right right that's a good point or I was gonna say you know a little money and connections can make anyone beautiful maybe we're all just you know ugly ducklings waiting to bloom I'm wearing a belt and it's like literally making
Starting point is 00:13:57 me physically ill goodbye goodbye belt good day hey look, look at my belt. Good day belt. Oh my God. So much better. Did you just want to show us your belt? No, actually, yes, I am wearing an Hermes belt, but I put the H in the back. Like it's not what I, it wasn't the vibe today. You're not Billie Eilish on the toilet. No.
Starting point is 00:14:16 At that award show. Your mind is a sponge. Like, how do you remember that? Actually, I remember it because I was going to wear an outfit today and I was like, have I worn this on the toast recently and so I scrolled on our Instagram to see if I wore it recently and I did and while I was scrolling I saw a title called hey look at my belt so your belt today reminded me of that that I'm gonna I'm gonna share my trade secrets on that one I don't have the best memory ever also it's worth noting that yesterday's episode like might have been my favorite episode i think i've watched
Starting point is 00:14:47 the whole episode like three times i was cackling so hard we were both being just so funny and when it came to sports now of course here i have to correct something we said yeah joe burrows injured rock birdie is a rookie like seriously you guys, you guys? Shut up. Like, we don't care. We know we're wrong. We're having fun. This is nothing. This thing is, like, for real. Like, this show is for fun.
Starting point is 00:15:12 So when you come in the comments with your fact-checking energy, like, fuck off. Go do that on, like, CNN, MSNBC. Like, not us. We're just having fun. Like, facts are just not important here. They're really not. Eat my ass.
Starting point is 00:15:23 No, they're really not. And I just want to say, like, there weren't corrections corrections like i wasn't saying brock purdy is underpaid by his talent we didn't say brock purdy is not a rookie like we know but seriously so he's underpaid because he's early on in the league but i will always cite this as precedent there was a player on the cowboys who like just woke up one day and decided he deserved to be paid more we stand it was no you're worth um i i forget which player it was it might have been like ezekiel elliott was his name and zach and i like would debate like should he get more money because he was a really good player but like the cowboys had gone nowhere like wait
Starting point is 00:16:01 your turn right and actually jerry paid him more and then he continued to stink and they've still gone nowhere now he's like not even on the team and so a few years later i got to say to zach like told you so good thing you're not holding on to it no because it really was just like we really disagree and he really thought that he should get paid more and i really thought like you need to earn your stripes no and finish out your contract it's not how it works situation brock purdy has taken them to the conference championship now twice. Like even before his contract is up, he deserves more money. Or a bonus.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah. I agree with you. Yeah. But in that situation, I just felt like the Cowboys hadn't done it. Yeah, maybe that one player was playing good, but like the team didn't go anywhere for him to, like even if Brock was playing really good, but like, you know, they didn't win this past game or whatever. No, no raise, no dice.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But two conference championships in a row. Jackie, Brock Purdy is the Jeremy Lin of the NFL. Are you familiar with Lin Sanity? Yes. For anyone who's not. Really tall. No. Many, many years ago, the Knicks were like you know having a bad season again and like every single player was injured that they literally put on in
Starting point is 00:17:13 the last five minutes of a game a player who I don't even think was suited up like his name was Jeremy Lin he went to Harvard and he was probably the lowest paid NBA player of all time and I don't think he ever set foot on the court in an actual game. They got so desperate, they threw him on. In the last five minutes, this kid scored a million points. That the next game, they started him.
Starting point is 00:17:35 And they called it Lynn Sanity. I think it was a series of like 10 games where the Knicks did not lose. All because of Jeremy Lynn. Now it eventually fizzled out. And he's like a decent player now. And he gets like good contracts on different teams. But the city was alive with Lin's sanity.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Like it really ushered in this like crazy wave of fandom. And you know what? He deserved a bonus for that. Right? Yeah. I think I read somewhere he was making like $200,000. Yeah. But typically I'm like,
Starting point is 00:18:03 you should finish out your contract. But I also think it's a case by case situation if you're doing incredible remarkable things yeah you should get a bonus a merit-based bonus who doesn't love that yeah based on like performance benchmarks yes and honestly like there are a lot of players I think on the 49ers who are paid very well because a lot of the players there this is what I was saying yesterday have been on the team for like five six seven years and like they've put in the work and they I think have really good salaries and you know looking around it's not fair I agree yeah anyway so those were the two and Joe Burrow was injured that's why they didn't go far
Starting point is 00:18:39 yeah I just like the sports things it's like either the people who comment on our sports commentary are girls who like watch sports before and they definitely feel territorial and they know more. And honestly, they're annoying as fuck. Or it's like men being like, I just lost three brain cells. And it's like you don't even have three to start with. Please. Our sports show from yesterday, like clearly reached people outside of the toast, which is what it's designed to do. By the way.
Starting point is 00:19:05 And thank you. On TikTok, when something like that happens, they say, like, it reached the wrong side of TikTok. No, I wouldn't even say it reached the wrong side, because, like, we're putting out content, and we're hoping that people outside of toasters will see it. That's the best case scenario. But some of those people are curmudgeons.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Curmudgeons! And they bring their energy to the comments section, and you just have to learn to scroll past it. They're like, oh, I guess anyone could have a podcast these days. Really? Not one that millions of people watch, ugly bitch. No, but factually, yes, anyone can have a podcast. It's a beautiful medium that has democratized having a voice.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah, no, that's kind of the beautiful part of the medium is the democracy of it all that anybody can have one and the cream will rise yeah yeah love that checks so yes i called us the cream or creme as they say in france we are cream you are curmudgeon that's the new like i am rubber and you are glue we are cream you are curmudgeon. That's the new, like, I am rubber and you are glue. We are cream, you are curmudge. Are we cream or are we creme? We're really cream. Well, it depends if we're feeling French, la.
Starting point is 00:20:14 It depends where we are. Yeah. Which hemisphere? We're constantly moving hemispheres. Constantly. Like, it's kind of hard to keep up with us. Oh, saw something on twitter that was like so not real you know no a baseless rumor that the nfl and christian use check are apparently in talks to like be working together for merchandise i saw that you sent me a tweet from like it was like an nfl fan account mill i mean I would hope so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Where there's smoke, hopefully there's fire. That would make sense. Yeah. Fingers crossed. So now I think without further ado-do-do-do. Yeah. Are we talking about the Oscar noms? Are we talking about the Oscar noms?
Starting point is 00:21:01 We are. Okay. Without further ado-do-do-do, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Quince. Who doesn't love the good things in life? Even though we enjoy a little luxury, that doesn't mean we always want to be paying for it. Until we discovered Quince, our now go-to for luxury essentials at affordable prices. I just actually was watching this girl on TikTok do a Quince try-on haul, and it made me want to place another order because she had like a really cute sort of ivory silk skirt. It was very cute. So quince offers a range of high quality items
Starting point is 00:21:32 at prices within reach. So they offer things like 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters from $50, washable silk tops and dresses, organic cotton sweaters, 14 karat gold jewelry. The best part is that all the Quince items are priced 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands. Because Quince partners directly with top factories, they are cutting out the cost of the middleman and passing the savings on to you. Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes, which we love. And at the end of the day, the Quince quality speaks for itself. I have many pieces now that have aged so well they get better with time I have cashmere sweaters I've got great slacks

Starting point is 00:24:21 Our first story, the 2024 Oscar nominations are here. Barbie, Oppenheimer, all the movies among the nominees. So we'll talk about the nominees and we'll talk about the snubs. Sounds good? Yeah, sure. Best picture, the big category. Everything's nominated here. American fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers,
Starting point is 00:24:42 Killers of the Flower Moon, moon maestro oppenheimer past lives poor things the zone of interest by the way it's worth mentioning that oppenheimer led is leading with nominations 13 nominations followed by that emma stone movie poor things which has 11 killers of the flower moon has 10 even though leo did not earn best actor nomination even though his um his opposite lily Gladstone got best actress and Robert De Niro got best supporting so it was nominated for everything except for him and the Barbie scored eight nominations even though Greta Gerwig right so didn't get best director and Margot Robbie didn't get best actress I really can't talk about the Barbie movie because
Starting point is 00:25:21 the nut jobs come out but I just want to say I saw the movie. And I actually enjoyed my time at the theater. It's not an Oscar film. And so the fact that Ryan Gosling was nominated, I'm sorry, you're kidding me. That's just not, it's not serious. And so, yes, I understand why people are mad. Because Greta Gerwig not getting nominated and Margot Robbie not getting nominated. If we're going to nominate someone from Barbie, it should be Greta Gerwig or Margot and Margot Robbie not getting nominated. Like if we're going to nominate someone from Barbie. Like it should be Greta Gerwig or Margot Robbie.
Starting point is 00:25:47 It shouldn't be Ken. But I actually don't think the movie should be nominated. Like when I put it up against the other films. Yeah. Didn't see it so I can't say. But it seems to be a non-serious film. No. No.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I wouldn't say that. Like on its face it's not serious. But there's a message. Like I know. Like I get it. say that like in on its face it's not serious but there's a message like I know like I get it but I just don't think it's of the caliber of an Oscar film because the Oscars have separated themselves from pretty much every other award show they're very cinematic they're very artsy they're very fancy they're very high brow yeah Barbie was extremely commercial Barbie was
Starting point is 00:26:20 nominated for best adapted screenplay so that is for Greta so it's not like she was totally snubbed and Margot Robbie's a producer so if they win best picture she is credited as a producer her acting was actually like really excellent yeah but it's like you can't say Barbie was even snubbed because it has 10 nominations so it's like okay so it didn't get all 12 in every category like that's not a snubbing no it's not but like the two women responsible for it don't get nominated but like ryan does and his character was the oscars are like so his character was so stupid like you but i heard so many people that he was their favorite part of the movie not me not for you but like that was the consensus like ken is so funny that's what i that's like what i have distilled from everything I've seen and heard. Like he was the highlight.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I thought Margot Robbie was funnier. Interesting. Like for sure. Margot Ferreira got a best supporting actress nomination. Okay. Like I, I just, I really don't agree,
Starting point is 00:27:19 but I really don't want to get into the whole Barbie thing. People become so unhinged. Yeah. No, but I feel like most of these movies got nominated in every category. It's like, I don't want to get into the whole Barbie thing people become so unhinged yeah no but I feel like most of these movies got nominated in every category it's like I don't know I feel like Oscars also just want to like please everyone they just don't want to be in trouble anymore no that was like a lot of nominees that you just cited for best picture yeah I feel like it used to be like five what I feel like it used to be like five or six. Now it sounds like eight. No, this is five, ten.
Starting point is 00:27:46 That is a lot. Yeah. I guess it's like more than Marriott. It's giving more than winners. And now everyone can come to the awards show, but still only one has to win. So what do you think will be the movie at the Oscars? Like last year was everything, everywhere, all at once.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I think it'll be Oppenheimer. I think so too. Based on nothing, just based so too. Because I know. Based on nothing. Just based on vibes. Based on vibes. And based on vibes like the other movies that are like just as good. Or like giving poor things and killers of the flower moon.
Starting point is 00:28:14 But I'm sorry commercial success like has to mean something. And the way people flock to the theaters to see Oppenheimer. The way it had such commercial success. Like that has to play a factor factor over like an art film. Yeah, while also being of the Oscars elk. Like I think for the Oscars Academy, like they're like, great, these are the kind of movies that we like.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And people liked it too, no brainer. Yeah. Yet somehow I'm sure they'll fumble the ball. Yeah, yeah. Now for best actress. I like how Maestro just like became a movie that gets nominated for all these awards when four people saw it. No, Maestro was a movie that was made in order to get nominated
Starting point is 00:28:49 Bradley Cooper played this role so that he could be nominated for an Oscar yeah it wasn't made like to be seen and because I don't think anyone saw it no and it's so crazy because like I'm the type of person who would see it no and it's also so crazy because it's on Netflix they couldn't make it easier yeah no there's something going like the Maestro thing is weird. Maestro feels like an art movie that you can only go and see if you like, you go to the Angelica. But it's on Netflix. No, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And I feel like he's doing a lot promo wise. Like he brought his daughter to the thing, which he never does. And it was like, yeah, there was pictures, but like nobody saw it still. Nobody went to go to Netflix. I don't know someone who's seen it. I haven't heard a review. I haven't heard a whisper. It's like an industry plan sort of movie
Starting point is 00:29:34 that just gets made so that like these people can get their Oscar noms. Maestro is an industry plant. Yes, it is. Best actress. Annette Bening, Nyad, Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon, Sandra Hueller, Anatomy of a Fall, Carrie Mulligan, Maestro, Emma Stone, Poor Things. Who do you think?
Starting point is 00:29:54 Emma Stone. Yeah. Best actor. Bradley Cooper, Maestro, Coleman Domingo, Rustin, Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers, Cillian Murphy. Cillian. Cillian. Okay. Oppenheimer jeffrey wright american fiction bradley cooper no i'm kidding said nobody ever killian killian yeah give it to killian best supporting actress first nomination for emily
Starting point is 00:30:19 blunt oppenheimer oh i'm so happy for her yeah danielle brooks the color purple america ferreira barbie jodie foster niad devine joy randolph the holdovers i have no idea but i love danielle brooks she was my favorite in um orange is the new black i don't know i didn't see any of these movies and i didn't see like hype for any of these particular performances either america ferreira you saw oh and you hyped her up did you did you like her speech or you didn't America Ferrera you saw. Oh, yeah. And you hyped her up. Did you?
Starting point is 00:30:43 Did you like her speech or you didn't? You're trying to get me in trouble. But I did recall saying that like everybody was fingering themselves to her monologue. And I actually thought her monologue was giving like Pinterest board cringe millennial energy. I just, please spare me the comments about Barbie movie. Like, I don't care. We need to hide the word Barbie. Yes. From our comment section. Yes, yes. Brilliant. They're going to spell it with two E's. Barbie. comments about Barbie movie like I don't care we need to um hide the word Barbie yeah from our
Starting point is 00:31:05 comment section brilliant they're gonna spell it with two e's Barbie be like a star for the end yeah yeah they they know you shouldn't have said it Jackie sorry then they wouldn't know we won't do it best supporting actor Sterling K Browniction, Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon, Robert Downey Jr., Oppenheimer, Ryan Gosling, Barbie, Mark Ruffalo, Poor Things. Don't care. You know? Like, don't care. Yep.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Best director. Actually, I feel like you don't have to keep going. Actually, are there any women directors in there? I think there were three. Oh, wow. Or it's like three women directors in the movies that were nominated for movie of the year. But actually, I guess I could look at these names.
Starting point is 00:31:49 These are not of the elk of women. Oh, wait, no. Justine Trite, Anatomy of a Fall. I think that's a woman. So one out of five? Yeah, yeah. One out of five. So that's why Greta didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:32:00 They're like, we check the box, girl. You're usually our box check. That's like, not that Greta Gerwig isn't deserving. That's not what I'm saying. That's why the Oscars do it. They like have to have one. You know, God forbid they put two. Yeah. Yeah. I was not saying that Greta Gerwig only gets nominated to check a box. I was not saying that. I think it depends on the movie. No, she's super talented. Like in all of her movies, like make waves, like Lady Bird, she was nominated for. They love, like she is worthy. Little Women.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Right. Oh, you know what? You know what the craziest thing about me? That we are not Little Women. That we are huge readers who grew up in a family of four sisters who love time pieces and we have never read Little Women. Or seen it. Or seen it.
Starting point is 00:32:43 And it just came out. No, well, it didn't just come out. I feel like. No, they just did a new version. It's not like we have to go watch a movie from the 60s. No, but I would rather think I'd rather watch an older one. Like, no offense. Like, My Little Women doesn't include Timothee Chalamet.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I feel like I just want to read the book and like get the pure version. I'm low-key mad though because I watch Friends and they spoil it in Friends. I feel like also that book we just read, Beautiful, for your book club, Annapolitano. Yes, where they say I'm a Joe. Hello Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Wait, wait, so don't spoil anything. No, no, they say I'm having like a Joe day. Because whatever you're thinking, like if I think about, I know Hello Beautiful was kind of, like, influenced a lot by Little Women. Like, I think the book itself and also the characters, and they also identify with Little Women. And I feel like if I think about it too hard, I'll figure out whatever the thing is about Little Women.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I won't say it, but yes, in the book, it was like this cute thing all the sisters did when they were having a bad day. They would say, I'm having a blank day. I forget what sister it was. They were like, I'm having, like, a having like a Jackie day essentially whoever the equivalent was now I just want to reiterate one more time I do think Greta Gerwig is a good movie director I feel like people are going to come for me that I said she checks a box that's not what I was saying I was saying no you say the Oscars like to check they do and so they always like oh we're gonna get in trouble if
Starting point is 00:34:00 we don't give it to a woman so they put Greta Gerwig she is deserving but they never put like more than one for sure I don't I think you've woman so they put Greta Gerwig. She is deserving, but they never put like more than one. For sure. I don't, I think you've made yourself clear. Okay. And if anyone like still doesn't like believe you or understand you, that's on them.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Great. You've made it clear. Then other interesting categories would just be best original song. Oh yeah. The Fire Inside from Flamin' Hot. I'm Just Ken from Barbie. It Never Went Away. American Symphony. A song for my people. Killers of the Flamin' Hot. I'm Just Ken from Barbie. It Never Went Away.
Starting point is 00:34:25 American Symphony. A Song for My People. Killers of the Flower Moon. What Was I Made For, Barbie? Yeah, I don't know how they evaluate, like, song of the year when it comes to Oscars. Do they really care about how people, you know, outside of the movie enjoyed it, like the Barbie song?
Starting point is 00:34:42 Because that one became so popular. But maybe with their rigorous criteria for what qualifies as best song maybe they think a different song that was better for the movie you know like is it more about the movie is it about success like I don't know but does this mean that Ryan Gosling is singing at the Oscars yes I'm. Anywhere else I'd be a 10. It's like a funny parody song. Is it Oscar worthy? That I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I don't know, but I feel like he wouldn't want to perform at the Oscars. No, he was in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, kids. Oh, that's true. What was that thing called? Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Yeah. No. Mickey Mouse?
Starting point is 00:35:24 No. Mickey. What the hell hold on no i want to come to it on my own like it might have been mickey mouse clubhouse mickey's kids mickey's how it wasn't mickey mouse clubhouse what was it called mickey mouse club mickey mouse club yes so he definitely like has you know stage presence that's true by the way something we didn't talk about and you know we're not the only ones is that Justin Timberlake announced that he has a new song coming out it's called selfish and yeah well I conducted a fun experiment because I said to Claudia like we have to see what my husband thinks to see if Justin Timberlake still has any fans so I recorded a video I was like by the way babe and I sent it to Claudia just like we were chuckling I said
Starting point is 00:36:09 Justin Timberlake has new music coming out and he said oh I'm excited I said oh you still like him he said yeah he's like one of my favorites you know that and I was like oh okay so you're gonna listen he was like yeah but did he know that he had new music coming out or did you break the information to him I'll have to re-watch the video because like if even a fan of his doesn't even know no one cares that's what I'm saying yeah but my husband isn't so plugged into the music scene like he once was it's true he's a father of two like yeah no but he used to be like so into like new music new albums like always and now he just listens to like the music that he knows and loves he doesn't like so into like new music new albums like always and now he just listens to like the music that he knows and loves he doesn't like go into new music I so feel that by the way yeah I feel myself doing
Starting point is 00:36:52 that too new music is exhausting yeah I feel like you get to an age in life like all people do where you have your music like you don't go out discovering new music like you listen to the classics yeah and that's like when you were a kid in the car with your parents, they were listening to their classics. And now you are in the car with your kid playing your classics. Can we listen to Luke Holmes? Right. Like in a few years,
Starting point is 00:37:16 the kids are going to want to be listening to like, you know, whatever's hot. Lil Yachty. Yeah. No, I don't think it'll be Lil Yachty in a few years. It'll be like someone we don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:25 True. Someone who's like someone we don't know. True. Someone who's like six now. Right. They're Hannah Montana. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just feel like some of those new artists right now, like they'll be having their legendary era in a few years. Perhaps.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Are you ready for our next story? number is it two yeah oh my god yeah yeah so so the fear of erigara is talking about her split from joe mancinello and she said that she didn't want to be an old mom and that's really what it came down to she said my marriage broke up because my husband was younger he wanted to have kids and i didn't want to be an old mom as a reminder she is 51 and he is 47 she said I feel it's not fair to the baby she said although she respects those who wish to welcome children later in life the path is just not for her anymore I had a son at 19 who is now 32 and I'm ready to be a grandmother not a mother I'm almost in menopause it's the natural way of things when my son becomes a dad let him bring the baby to me for a while
Starting point is 00:38:25 and then I'll give it back to him and go on with my life. That's what I have to do. I don't know if we knew that this was the case, but when we reported on their breakup, I think we said this. Either we knew it or we thought that maybe because he was younger, he wanted to have kids. So I feel like this is so like weirdly healthy. Like, yeah, like she's putting up her own boundaries.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Like having kids is not in the cards for her anymore. A, because of like biology, but B, she's already a mom. Like that part of her life is over. Um, but for him, it's like, if it's something that's really important to him, he shouldn't have to give that up either. So this is just like a really sad scenario. Cause it wasn't like there was love lost or cheating. No, just like people grow and change.
Starting point is 00:39:09 And he grew into someone who wanted kids more and more. She also said that she thought the press was very respectful and nice of their breakup. She said, I thought they were going to invent more things and you know how it usually is. But it wasn't bad. Okay, good. And now it makes me happy that he has this you know new girlfriend who's around his same age and she's pregnant right or did I make that up I'm sorry I think we were saying like she will be she oh they are knocking boots yeah I don't know if yet because
Starting point is 00:39:37 I think he needs to decide if like oh is this the mother of his children yeah yeah yeah I mean I am available and Sophia now wants to just date someone who already has kids. Of course. Because I don't think she wants this to be an issue. No, of course. This is so fair. And this is, how old is Joe Manganiello? 47.
Starting point is 00:39:54 It's like so crazy. Like biologically, like even if they were the same exact age, 47, like it's still not really an option for Sophia. Like I'm sure she would feel the same way at 47 that she does at 51 it's only four years difference like it's just so crazy like the difference how a man can have a baby like whenever he just wants to like Robert De Niro yeah but also the fact that she already had a child and he didn't yes that plays a huge factor too maybe if she didn't when they got together if she had never had a child then earlier in their relationship they would have and then they would have gotten older
Starting point is 00:40:28 together true but earlier in their relationship what was she 47 no they've been together they were married seven years okay so she would have been in her early 40s okay no she could have done in her early 40s yeah yeah but it seems like she's the type of person who's not into the idea of having kids at a, what society would say, traditionally older age. That's not something she's, like, for. Right. No. Because she said, like, it's not fair to the baby.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Yeah, but also her perspective is just from somebody who had a baby at 19 who's really young. Yeah, and someone who was, like, did the newborn stage 30 years right doesn't want to do it again no relatable relatable yeah no I think this all just like makes sense and is sad and I hope everyone's doing well and it does make me really sad actually like yeah I forget who I was just having this conversation with but it was a friend of mine who's married and doesn't have children she was like when we got married we planned to have children and then as years went on we were both just like less and less into it so they came to the conclusion together which was like oh that's a kind of ideal like you know not everyone gets that this situation sucks it's the
Starting point is 00:41:32 opposite it sucks yeah growing apart yeah are you ready for our next story yes kim kardashian becomes the balenciaga brand ambassador after their campaign scandal so she's all in with balenciaga again after reevaluating her relationship with the fashion house following its 2022 campaign scandal of inappropriate children posing with inappropriate objects she is the new brand ambassador again i put out, read the statement she put out that's like boring and crappy. This fucking sucks. Yeah. I mean, at this point, I just almost wish she never even left. Because like this is to me more spineless than just sticking it out, like sticking with your contract.
Starting point is 00:42:21 You could have hidden behind the contract. Like this is just like let me wait for it to die down and it actually has not died down I was really surprised to see like all over my TikTok and stuff people really like being not even offended but like kind of grossed out grossed out I don't think it's died down I it hasn't for me like for me Balenciaga will be forever marred by this also because there was no like responsibility accepted there were investigation no investigations no one was let loose from the company like nothing changed like this they kind of said yeah we did that shit it's so true there were no sort of there was no falling out yeah so that's like the people who
Starting point is 00:43:04 was responsible for this freakery right they're still falling out yeah so that's like the people who was responsible for this freakery right they're still there and working so it's still this like so no nothing's changed so nothing's changed for me the last time I went shopping the sale rack was all Balenciaga I don't see people wearing Balenciaga really in the day-to-day I don't see people like when they're doing fits like post posing on their Instagram, Balenciaga. Me neither. What are your thoughts on like just a lay person who like,
Starting point is 00:43:30 you know, saved up to buy a Balenciaga bag many years ago. Like what do they do? Wear that shit. Wear it. I agree. If you own Balenciaga before all this, you should wear it,
Starting point is 00:43:39 you know, and you know, we can tell what's this season and what's, if you have a Balenciaga city bag, yeah, you better fucking wear it. That's what I'm what's. Oh sure. If you have a Balenciaga city bag, yeah, you better fucking wear it. That's what I'm talking about. It's cute and you spent money on it.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Like so many people, like for years, that bag was like the it bag. So many people like collected them and loved them and paid for them. Yeah, it's a great bag. Also those mini bags with the bees on them, like are really cute. And if you already owned one, you should wear it. I do wish I had purchased one before the strike. Yeah, but now they're on sale. I'll survive.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Also, just about people wearing the city bag. So now they put out these campaign photos. They have a few new brand ambassadors. Nicola Ann Peltz is also one of them. Which to me is like less shocking than Kim, because I feel like she's trying to break into the fashion industry. it's like oh here's a side door that no one wants to walk through how about you I I agree like I get I get why although it is disappointing this isn't a person who needs the work Nicola Peltz yeah but in the photos the new campaign photos they're all
Starting point is 00:44:39 wearing the Balenciaga city bags in like a large size and in Kim's photo it's like in her closet and all of the handbags on her shelf are Balenciaga bags but it feels like they're bringing back the city bag and I feel like they're trying to get in on what we're saying which is like people will only wear vintage Balenciaga so let's what's old is new again and now it looks like we're part of the zeitgeist no I saw that picture of Kim at the city bag I was like oh I guess those bags are back and they always like had the mini ones but they were never like their main like recently haven't been like their main shtick which for so many years I feel like that's how I was like introduced to the brand yeah with okay that Nicola Peltzing is like is a bummer I'm not gonna lie but I agree with you like I can I can wrap my head around the decision
Starting point is 00:45:17 making more than I can Kim like Kim is a person with access unlimited access unlimited resources unlimited respect honestly she can get invited to any fashion show like she is the person she always wanted to be like this obsession with the fashion world that she's had for a while ever since they like dissed her and wouldn't accept her until she was Kanye's wife and the couch thing at the gala it's been a journey and I totally understand I think a lot of it is rooted in like insecurity and just wanting to prove people wrong she talks about that all the time on the show how like she cares what people think and she wants to change people's minds about her I get it but like at some point and I also get being the type and she gets dragged a lot for like being a person obsessed with success and money and accomplishments and like stomping on other
Starting point is 00:45:53 people and other things to get there and like I don't necessarily think all the time that's a bad thing honestly like I I think that's a sometimes like a really good part of a work ethic this is an example of like a person taking it so far and like kind of losing the plot beyond I I have to believe that there is a reason why she would enter into another campaign with them and she could literally be the face of any brand at this point and she's choosing this one we need to know like she just needs to make it like what is it just tell us and it's not understand but just tell us it can't be money like it's not money because any brand would pay her more a ton of money and she
Starting point is 00:46:31 has a ton of money like it's not like she needs the money so I don't think it's about money what is it it's something that we don't know I also think this just kind of further cements Kim really being in her flop era I thought she was emerging from it because I thought she was too even for me like there were things that were exciting me and now I'm taken back to this place of like what are you doing no and now like with the heiress tour like winding down not in the U.S. anymore like you really couldn't focus on no other celebrity could be having a moment except for Taylor in the last like eight months but now that the heiress tour is going abroad and everyone's not every single week
Starting point is 00:47:08 talking about four different Taylor Swift stories you know another phoenix could rise and so I agree I also thought she was maybe coming out of the flop era but this is really bad like for real yeah and I think the show is coming back soon did we see a trailer for it did we or just my dreams no we I don't think we did well skin by kim beauty is coming back right right she made like a bunch of waves recently that tiktok like she was doing good work you know and this we're back square one it's so strange especially because she's such i feel like she's not this the type she's not an unprincipled person. And what do we know that is important to her?
Starting point is 00:47:48 Her family, her faith. These are things that are incongruous with the crimes of Balenciaga. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, no, major flop. Yeah. But like she knew it would be, so why did she do it?
Starting point is 00:48:03 I need to know. Because there's something being she's got her reasons something is being held against you she's being held against her well like there's a blackmail yeah set yourself free whatever it is it can't be worse than this actually it makes you think it has to be worse than this i don't think it could be you think it has to be worse than this I don't think it could be okay are you ready for our next story this one's number four no no I'm not thank you I love that you've been doing that recently I know you get frazzled and you kind of like lose like you're that's not what it is in the map I get in the map of the show you get lost from where we are

Starting point is 00:50:37 listen not that it matters but I feel like it's Auschwitz Auschwitz fine Auschwitz Auschwitz. Auschwitz. Fine. Auschwitz. Auschwitz. Auschre. Anyways Elon went to Auschwitz with ex. What did I say this time? Auschwitz. Now I'm feeling self-conscious. You were just giving like Stalin like wait no is Stalin German? No. I was getting confused. You know who's German. You know who's German. Hitler. Yeah. Heil. Oh, yeah, our mics.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Our mic brand is, and I'm sure this brand is not affiliated with the Holocaust or Hitler in any way, but the name is H-E-I-L, which I feel like is a bad name for any company. I actually don't have Heil because I stand against anti-Semitism. Oh, is yours Rode? Yeah. Oh, mine's Heil. And I can't see it without thinking Heil well how could you no also Hitler has ruined a lot of things for me ovens like really you can't think about I can't open an oven without thinking about it like for real um he's ruined the word Heil obviously but he's also ruined the number nine nine he's also ruined the word mine uh he's ruined the word comp for sure for sure but that's like not our word that's his word
Starting point is 00:51:52 he's ruined like the color red like he's ruined a lot of things yeah um he also ruined the wagon he ruined European jewelry oh of course I duh. Like I was trying to be like. No no like um yeah. Yeah no he did ruin that um for sure but like also the G-Wagon. Yeah anyways back to the story at hand because it's a beautiful one. I agree. If that's okay. La. Yeah. Um Elon made a private visit to Auschwitz which is a death camp. Um the biggest one from the holocaust where over 1 million jews were murdered he took his son baby x and he was part of an EJA european jewish uh association delegation that went along i guess it's like uja in europe that's what i was thinking eja for sure i'm sure it's a wonderful organization,
Starting point is 00:52:45 but like they're not doing a good job because like European Jews are constantly threatened. In trouble. It's so true. But I do want to say, like I feel like a kind of regular part of Jewish life in America is like when you turn about 18,
Starting point is 00:52:59 like you do one of these trips. There are many organizations. They're called like March of the Living. We went with our school and you like visit different camps. Auschwitz is probably the most popular one to visit one because it's the biggest and two because it's really been made into like a museum and and they have tour guides and all most of the buildings are are still erect and it's so fucking freaky um and there's just like probably the most records from that place because it was so big
Starting point is 00:53:22 and i feel like it should be mandatory for everyone. Like, you know, there's an 18, like you turn 18, you go to the army in some countries, like you should go to a concentration camp in America. Yeah. He spoke about, so he spoke on this anti-Semitism symposium with Ben Shapiro, but he spoke about how, you know, he still learned about the Holocaust,
Starting point is 00:53:41 but it's very different like walking it and seeing it firsthand. He said that he's aspirationally jewish because um most of his friends are jewish he said two-thirds of his friends are jewish so he's jewish by association we're happy to have you elon that is so sweet and i think that this is like this is real allyship yeah i mean there's been a huge conversation a lot of people are like claudia and jackie why are you guys always talking about elon he's an anti-semite he. He's not an anti-Semite. No, wait, sorry, let me, wait. They had said, like, he responded to this tweet. So I looked.
Starting point is 00:54:10 He did respond to a tweet that was like a little, like, I wouldn't have said it that way. No, and overly generalized and clumsy. And so people were like, Elon, the fuck is up with this tweet? And he was like, oh, you know what? I reread it. I'm sorry. Actually, I don't agree with that. I shouldn't have posted it.
Starting point is 00:54:23 So, yeah, so then you want to, so a lot of people were still calling him anti-Semitic, even though he rene? I reread it. I'm sorry. I actually, I don't agree with that. I shouldn't have posted it. So yeah, so then you want to, so a lot of people were still calling him anti-Semitic, even though he reneged on what he said. So, okay. But then he did, you know, take a trip to Israel, visit, you know, where the biggest massacre since the Holocaust happened, visited all the kibbutz, met with families,
Starting point is 00:54:37 has spoken so much about anti-Semitism. He just now went to Poland to visit Auschwitz. Like, can we stop now? Like, for real. He's obviously not an anti-Semite. Like, seriously. No, they can stop calling him an anti-Semite you have to read past the headlines they also like to cite that X the formerly Twitter has seen a rise in anti-Semitism I mean all social media has have
Starting point is 00:54:54 you been on TikTok as we've stated already before but I guess we have to say it again like there are there's research and data that has come out of like the most anti-semitic platforms x is not number one it's not number two no and it's like so fabulous that everybody has all this energy for anti-semitism but I don't understand why it's solely when it relates to Elon Musk and I know it's completely misguided Musk has like made himself an enemy of like of the public because he's like a renegade and he says... Not the public, of the media elite. And he like, you know, does things differently and he says and does what he wants. And it's like, I wish people had all this energy for anti-Semitism, like actual anti-Semitism as they do for Elon.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Because the Elon one, I looked into it as a Jew. I looked into it. I don't find this person who just visited Auschwitz-Birkenau to be anti-Semitic. I don't. So it's like, okay, but let's keep that energy up for the others. No, like if you have all this energy for anti-Semitic. I don't. So it's like okay but let's keep that energy up for the others. No like if you have all this energy for anti-Semitism let me show you a few things you can channel it towards. If you have all this energy for anti-Semitism I've got a couple Instagram accounts that you should look through. Like there's it's so insane to me like it's like
Starting point is 00:55:58 enough already for real. No it's it's foolish but the thing is people really fall for it because even today you'll see in comments people being like Elon's an anti-Semite and it's foolish. But the thing is, people really fall for it. Because even today, you'll see in comments, people being like, Elon's an anti-Semite. And it's like, really? No, and we need to like not do with, do like, what's the word? Overuse the word anti-Semite. Because when these, I do really believe when like a lot of social movements happen,
Starting point is 00:56:20 people get like a little, they start saying like, well, this is anti-Semitic and that's anti-Semitic. And sometimes it's not and it I don't want the word to lose away I don't want the word to lose its meaning which I think can happen in like social media advocacy but there's no lack of anti-semitism for you to be speaking up against so if you want to bring your energy and stand with the Jews, let's start with October 7th. How about that? Yeah, I love that. Anyway, someone who's at Auschwitz wearing a dog tag
Starting point is 00:56:52 to bring the hostages home and a yarmulke and bringing his young son so he can also see what happened. Like stop, stop, stop. Like don't be stupid, like for real. Like let's move on. No, yeah, seriously, don't be stupid. No, like I understand. Like maybe you read some things and you got convinced and like you were trapped but like now let's look at the facts you were wrong I'll allow it let's move on yeah and I
Starting point is 00:57:12 like to think of ourselves as like anti-semitism watchdogs oh we are we are the posting police you should see this group chat we have it's like five of us where we literally screenshot every single thing that's posted online that's even remotely like similar or could be connected to anti-semitism and we dissect that shit like we know who's anti-semitic and we know who's not and the group chat you know on chat has officially decreed elon musk is not an anti-semite yet and we'll always let you know on the show when someone's doing something or not doing someone someone's being accused of anti-semitism or they're using anti-semitism to like to take someone down when it's not about the anti further their cause and the watchdogs no call off the dogs elon's on anti-semit in fact he's an ally i would agree and
Starting point is 00:57:56 perhaps one of the most powerful we have so we really need to stop yeah not we you you yeah yeah sorry couldn't be me are you ready for our fifth and final story? Oh, my God. Should I sing this song? It's kind of been a while. And I've been hearing cries for it. And I'm not just saying that so I can sing. I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Sure. I'll never stop you from singing, Ma. It doesn't sound like you were, like, so excited for me to sing. No. Sure. Because I'll never stop you from singing, Ma. When have I ever stopped you from singing? Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:22 So ask me again if I'm ready for the final story. Are you ready for the fifth and final story law the final story the final story It's another story. Elon Musk is not another person. But I know someone who is. That's funny. Great minds. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:58:58 That's why we have to bring the song back. It sparks creativity. It does. That's just like I want my dinner now, which came because two Disney adults got married. And instead of paying for food and dinner, they paid for Mickey and Minnie to come and now people are asking like do you understand why someone could do that yeah I want my dinner now was such an OG inside toast joke that I actually didn't even remember what it was about until you just repeated it but for anyone who's new here we had reported on a story I believe it was the fourth
Starting point is 00:59:23 story where these two Disney adults got married and they really wanted like the big characters, the caricatures to make an appearance at their wedding, but their budget really didn't allot for it. So they decided to forego food and instead use that money for Mickey and Minnie to arrive at their wedding and like take pictures and interact with the guests. And people online were giving their thoughts and I thought it was nuts. And I said, you know, if I was a guest, I want my dinner now. That's what I would say if I was a guest. Now, me, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Oh, so now that you've witnessed the magic, would you think- I might starve for Mickey. But they didn't want their guests to starve. They wrote, they encouraged them, please eat before. Kind of like best of both worlds yeah because like wedding food's never that good so at least you got to
Starting point is 01:00:09 meet mick there's something about the man for sure he's got something he's got riz he's got buddies he's in magazines he makes more money than any oh yeah and that's the other thing about mickey he's wealthy he's kind of like the uh carlisle cullen of his world he's been around for so long he's got stocks since the early 1900s yeah no but he also he has parks he has shows yeah oh yeah he's making moves licensing deals you know like he owns ESPN. Right. Maybe he can give us our show. Claudia, that's who we need to suck up to. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:00:51 He also owns like Desperate Housewives. He's an amazing man. Yeah. Of course, he's a little crazy. Who isn't? Right. What? Show me a genius that isn't.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Our fifth and final story, Rihanna fangirls over Natalie Portman and vice versa at Paris Fashion Week. So at Paris Fashion Week, Rihanna and Natalie Portman ran into one another. Natalie Portman at first fangirls over Rihanna because like who wouldn't? But then Rihanna couldn't help a fangirl over Natalie herself
Starting point is 01:01:22 ahead of the Christian Dior fashion show. So Rihanna gushed over Natalie just seconds after Natalie herself ahead of the Christian Dior fashion show. So Rihanna gushed over Natalie just seconds after seeing her arrive at the Haute Couture show. She said, you are one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood forever. Oh, that's so nice. I know. She added that she's a fan of hers. She said, you do the most innocent look.
Starting point is 01:01:40 And I'm like, ah. The compliment took Natalie aback as she revealed that she, in turn, was a huge fan of Rihanna. She as she revealed that she in turn was a huge fan of Rihanna she told the singer that she might faint and black out after hearing the compliments that's actually really funny because when I first saw this I was like how in the world does Rihanna even know like Natalie Portman but then like they really Natalie Portman like is obviously a classic actress been around forever but she's such a fashion it girly she's the face of I think Dior perfume yeah thank you oh my god moron um and she has been for a but she's such a fashion it girly she's the face of i think dior yeah thank
Starting point is 01:02:06 you oh my god moron um and she has been for a while she's like a real fashion it girl and of course rihanna's like so fashiony and influential in the fashion world so actually i do believe that rihanna like kind of stands but what's so crazy is natalie portman one of the most beautiful women in hollywood etc etc when she's standing next to Rihanna who is just like an icon period Natalie Portman looks like she works for she's a stagehand you know she looks like a regular person who's there to walk Rihanna into the show there are certain people who have that effect and there are also certain people who like no matter who they're talking to the person is going to be freaking out and Rihanna is one of those people Beyonce is one of those people Taylor Swift is one of those people like
Starting point is 01:02:46 even if Taylor Swift was talking to like you know the president like anyone would like be on their knees it's like really crazy and Rihanna is one of those people too because Natalie Portman is like a list for the last 20 years like she's really in an upper echelon of fame and like even Rihanna like she's dying but it makes you think like as a celebrity like even if you're A-list there are people who will humble you you know and oh yeah thankfully for like Natalie Portman like Rihanna was just as excited to meet her and like that was exciting and excitement might excite them but like you could think your front row Dior like my shit don't stink but then Rihanna walks in and it's like oh oh, I'm not Rihanna. All right, so who do you think is in that, like, top, top tier?
Starting point is 01:03:27 Rihanna, Beyonce, Taylor Swift. Do you think there are any men? For other men? Like David Beckham? No, I don't think David, no. The Rock? Oh, okay, The Rock. Like, at one point, like bryant was in that crew

Okay, then LeBron's six. Yeah, LeBron. Because there are people who I feel like could have gotten to that success, and that's why I took out The Rock or, like, I was going to say A-Rod. But, like, they're both so commercial, and they do so much. It's like, honestly, I don't even know if I want to meet you.
