Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Monday! Oh my god, it's Monday, and I would be forlorn, but I ain't, because I'm sitting down with my girl, Jax. Hey, Jax. How you doing? Hey, Clurd. I'm good. I do have to acknowledge that this is our first full week of the new year, which seems daunting, I'm sure, to everyone,

but I know that we can make it through. I just know it. Well, I'm about to kind of change your life because um we actually don't have an episode scheduled for Friday oh sorry yeah sorry I meant like the world's first full week of yeah no and we still we're still figuring out Friday but um it is the full week back in January but it's exciting nonetheless because even though we should be forlorn, we're not. It's a very exciting week here at the Toast. I'm in Los Angeles. Like, you probably could tell if you're watching this video, like, oh my, she already looks like a star.

Like, what's happened? She got lip filler. Yeah, no, I've been in LA since Friday, and I'm definitely different. What are you thinking? I know you're really tough on LA. I am really tough on LA. I've been having a nice time. Actually, I had a thought this morning as to why, you know, I'm trying to be positive in the new year. I don't know if I've told you that yet.

I'm just kind of like a different girl now. Here's one thing I do like about LA. First of all, it's like raining. The weather is forlorn, which is annoying. But I thought you would like that. I thought you would like that. I do. But I'm running around town like looking gorgeous.

I've curled my hair this morning. And then just to walk out of my hotel with like a soppy mop. It's not good. It doesn't look moppy. But continue on. So you're being positive. I'm being positive. So here is something positive that I noticed about Los Angeles today.

I was ordering breakfast at the hotel. And I was ordering like really weird. Because, you know, I like just eat weird shit. And the guy who was taking my order like didn't even blink like usually when I order my weird things I'm like no cheese no this no that he's like okay are you sure like you don't want the cheese um but he was just nodding along and I just realized like I guess everyone in LA is on some sort of weird diet like I'm not special yeah in LA is picky. It's actually weird to just say like, I'll have the chicken sandwich period. Nobody says that. End of story. End of story. Nobody says that in LA. And so I was feeling like really kind of just like a Los Angelino. I feel like

whenever we go to LA, I love LA. I think it's so exciting. I think it's so cool. The weather is so nice. The weather is so nice. The lighting, you know, and we're never there for long periods of time. So I never start to hate it. And I just, you are never really so into it, but I feel like you're going to get into it this week. Well, can I tell you also like how coming to LA is kind of different now that we're with Dear Media?

Like, to be honest, I feel like when we used to come to LA do like a week of shows it was so much work like and we were doing everything ourselves and now I'm just like rolling into Dear Media like look at my microphone like I didn't set any of this up. I have this like gorgeous studio. I have a Buccal chair. I didn't even request the Buccal chair and I got the Buccal chair. So it's a kind of like everything being done for me and I do like that part of it. I'm not gonna lie. I just want to say like you sitting there with your legs crossed and your dear media mic flag with like your dear media studio background like you're such a dear media girly I know I'm literally the chubby confidential like I can just see you on like a reels on my feed you know what Claudia

starts talking about like why she started juicing and how it changed her life no and the thing about wellness is like once you get into wellness it's definitely a really hard space to crack into and then like once you do become well your life will change you'll be more um intentional and more attentive and I find wellness to be already like seeping into my daily life here I saw because you actually were juicing this morning with an orange juice. I did. I had. Well, I got to the breakfast and there was like a whole menu for juices.

I was like, oh, my God, these people are not OK. And I was like, I'll have the Tropicana orange. No pulp. And? So good. Orange juice is a beverage that not enough people talk about. I've been getting into it recently, too, because I've had to make some freshly squeezed OJ for Harry a few times. Like, whenever he's feeling a little under the weather, I'll do that.

And, of course, Mommy has to try it, make sure she's not poisoning her angel. And Mommy likes what she sees. It's so good. I feel like everyone drinks orange juice when they're a kid and then they forget about it as an adult. But when you're hungover, I swear to God, it's like sucking from the teat of Mother Earth. It's so delicious.

It is so delicious. So now you're a juicer. You're a juice check. I'm a juice check. Okay, so let's also talk about like major update from the weekend. I just need to say, I know yesterday was a big day for football in general, but it was, it felt bigger like for us because of our pre-week recap. Like we were pretty much like ESPN last week.

And I had so much invested in every game. Like I was looking at the Eagles game. I was looking at the Cowboys game. I was looking at the 49ers game, of course, because like that's my favorite team. And then also I was looking at the Packagles game i was looking at the cowboys game i was looking at the 49ers game of course because like that's my favorite team and then also i was looking at the packers game has nothing to do with your weekend so i'm sure it didn't cross your mind but like they were playing the lions it was it was the sunday night football game so i was just like sitting down catching up with zach and carrie underwood came on and i was quaking the house down it was so good i don't know if you've watched this year's yet

and if you've watched it in full recently, but it's so good. I had chills. Chills. You're talking about the game or Carrie Underwood's performance? Carrie Underwood's song. I haven't seen the new version.

She ushered me into the game, which I was interested in because I like Green Bay Packers. Aaron. I like Aaron Rod in because I like Green Bay Packers and the Lions. I like Aaron Rodgers. I do. And then the Lions had a quarterback that I had never seen before and he was looking mighty handsome. So that's the thing about football.

There's like a lot of hot guys. So I was interested. And then they were explaining the stakes of the game. That was a high stakes game because if the Packers win, they go to the playoffs. And if the Lions win, then the Seahawks go to the playoffs which makes no fucking sense oh oh okay like right and then the announcers were saying like this is a high stakes game for both teams because you know the Lions want to finish out their season strong like either way they're not going to the playoffs like for the Packers this is make or break I wouldn't say the stakes were

high for both teams I would say you guys guys are trying to make this an interesting game. Yeah, no, I wouldn't say it's the same either. Right. Anyways, spoiler alert, the Packers lost. Very sad. Oh. And the Seahawks are going to the playoffs. Spoiler alert.

I didn't know that. The Seahawks are going to the playoffs. So I have no, I'm not a Seahawks girl, but I'm happy for the Seattle Toasters. First of all, you should be a Seahawks girl because of your favorite movie, Giraffe Day, first of all. What do they have to do with it? Isn't it the Seahawks? Doesn't the movie take place in Seattle?

No, it's Browns, Cleveland, duh. Oh. Right? Okay, I need to see that movie again. But um but here okay so here's where we come in like to make everything about us now that the seahawks have made the playoffs they're playing the 49ers this weekend so that is the game i am going to thank you to the eagles for winning thus confirming there is a 49ers game this weekend that i can go to while i am in la well west coast i want to thank everyone for sending positive vibes

to the Eagles. I'd like to thank the Eagles for their great work. But more importantly, I'd like to thank the Giants for doing abysmally. Like it wasn't even, I didn't even have a pit. Like I turned the game on from the second I watched. I was like, oh my God, this is like the worst team in the world playing the best team.

It wasn't even a question. So grateful to the Giants, grateful to everyone. And I'm grateful to myself because I took a risk and it paid off and there was one in the hand and there was two in the bush and I got the two in the bush bitch and that's exciting I'm excited for you oh so I guess that the Packers game was relevant to our discussion because it could you could have been saying Aaron Rogers play this weekend and you're not oh shit yeah sorry okay well nevertheless I'm going to the game this weekend thank god you know there's so much like sports energy I don't even realize um again not to make everything about me but I'm here in LA and everyone's like are you here for

the game I'm like the 49ers game this weekend yeah I am like how did you know that no tonight is college football championship and it happens to be in LA I'm just wrapping my head I'm just wrapping my head around the AFC and the NFC and so the colleges are gonna have to take a back seat yeah no um it's just like it's kind of furthering my point um that everything really is about us. Because they had a game where you are currently? Yeah. It's just like kind of a crazy coincidence. Yeah.

When it rains, it pours. So who are you rooting for, TCU or Georgia? It's so hard when you don't care, you know? Yeah. I feel like we have more Georgia. Oh, it's the dogs with a D-A-W-g it's the dogs it's the dogs yeah oh why does it have to be like that why does it have to be spelled like that like that no yeah is the school on long island no dogs why did they spell it like that if they didn't spell it like that, I would be like, oh, the dogs, the Bryson, the Strice.

But not the dogs. The dogs. Like if I was at the game today, I'd be like, go dogs. Yeah, let's get some coffee and root for the dogs. I love water. So for that reason, I'm rooting for TCU. Okay. What does TCU stand for?

Tennessee Christian University. Texas Christian University. A question I asked last weekend when I saw them playing, so I have the answer. I would have thought it stood for the Christian University. I would have thought it would be like Tennessee Central University. I wouldn't have assumed the C was a religion. I would have assumed it's like a region. Yeah. A region versus religion.

Tennessee Central didn't make it to the playoffs. No. And they were so heartbroken that they didn't make it. But there's always next year at Tennessee Central University. Go Dawgs. Go Dawgs. So that was like a major part of my weekend. And then like another part of my weekend was kind of like the most probably

full circle moment that's ever happened to me please tell us because you went to a big soiree this weekend star studded I think I saw you in TMZ was it Claudia your girl yeah I was in TMZ um I don't know how they knew I was there but I was um that's what I I came to town for. One of my friends, Kate, it was his birthday party. And then I was like, if I'm going to fly all the way out, we'll make a whole week of it. So that's what we're doing. But I flew in for his birthday party on Saturday night. And it was fabulous. It was so fun.

Star-studded. There was like performances. I saw Kelsey Ballerini. Oh, man, she was amazing. Jeff Ross, Tiffany Haddish. Like it was really, it was stunning. But most notably, kind of like someone from my former life was there and I just I was shocked um and I had a really like surprising interaction

with him it was Billy Eichner. It wasn't Maverick? No it wasn't Maverick uh Maverick actually had texted me that he couldn't make it but um he said my friend Billy's going Make sure you like talk to him So I saw Billy Eichner Now if you've been listening to the show for a while If you read my book You know like a huge part of my rise to fame Had to do with my cameo on Billy on the Street When I was in college

I was on my way to a class. It was called Writing the Essay. It was the worst fucking class. If you went to NYU, you had to take it. Everyone knows. Oh my God, the worst class ever. And I was ambushed on the street by Billy and his crew. And I, there's this segment.

It's horrifying. It's embarrassing. It's not. It's not. It's totally fine. You're so cute. You're just a college student okay but like you had a big distracting hat on and you played the game and you're just being cute and I feel like as much as you get like say yes to the dress people in your dms like you also get like is this you I'm Billy on the street so true I get so many dms it's

like like my thing and it was really my first time ever being on camera like I became obsessed I hadn't even known what the show was it was just very exciting and so I was at the party and I saw Billy Eichner I was like oh my god Ben was like you have to tell me you're on the street I was like no I would like didn't want to be like embarrassing but then the person that Billy was with I don't know if it was like a boyfriend I think it was just a friend he was a really nice guy he like had said something to me and so I thought that was like my opportunity to like start a convo with Billy and I was like Billy um hi I'm Claudia and I was actually on the street now I don't know why I had like a

preconceived notion of how Billy Eichner would be you know as a person not as a celebrity but I kind of assumed he would be like kind of bitchy I was so wrong he was so nice first of all when I told him I was on the street he was like giddy he was like no way he was like actually interested in what I was saying and he was like you were on the street when I'm like season two episode three I think that's what it is um I was wearing a hat and he was like oh my god did I make fun of you like were you mad I'm like you read me to filth you made fun of my outfit and I deserved it and it was so funny and like I lived for every moment of it it was my first time on camera it like gave me this thirst for fame I literally said I'm like that literally started my whole career I would not be sitting on this chair at this party if it weren't for

our interaction so for that I'm grateful he was so nice he actually told me he like doesn't meet a lot of people who have been on the street and he doesn't meet them like maybe like someone will come up to him like at a restaurant on the street again social settings yeah he he was so nice it was like such a positive interaction and it was like it left me feeling really um like it warmed my heart I I really I I kind of like love Billy Eichner now uh so you're two for two on positive interactions with Billy Eichner I'm two for two on positive interactions with Billy Eichner yes Jackie I am that's so wonderful to hear you love to hear when a celebrity is really nice and and sweet and

genuine no and then we like had this whole conversation about like street interviewing it's like such a thing now on tiktok everyone's like always running up to people on the street and like billy really invented that i feel like a lot of people forget like he was really the first person to do like man on the street like ambush comedy and he's really so impressive and i said you have to bring billy on the street back it was iconic yeah it really was did you have any other positive celebrity social interactions that you would like to share with the class that we need to know like who's a good person out there I feel like everyone was pretty nice honestly like

I saw my girlie Paris uh Kelsey Ballerini she performed oh my god she is so like breathtakingly talented everyone in the room was shook up like by her talent it was it's an intimidating room you know lots of celebs Hollywood peeps and she's you know just a girl from Nashville and she just got up there with her guitar and sang two songs she's saying if you go down I'm going down too from her new album and then she sang Peter Pan which was yeah perfect song for a birthday perfect song next level it was really just a great event a lot of people were messaging me asking if I saw Britney Spears who was at the party and when I tell you when I woke up the next morning and found out she was there I was shocked because I didn't even see her now that's not that crazy because

I'm like always you know thinking about me and like looking at me in the mirror and like just minding my own business drinking a lot so I didn't see her um but I heard she was there that's exciting yeah we're in the presence huge we're in the presence of greatness um tell me about your weekend Jax make a chili my weekend I did not make a chili and that's like hurtful that you would suggest that after everything I've been through after I was attacked for my chili yeah yeah it's like used as a weapon against me even though people are still making chilies in solidarity and I see all your tags and it's really beautiful how we've all come together but my weekend was great it was a little bit different from your weekend just the smidgest bit of difference um I was just home with my boys all my boys we hung out with the Shapiros and we had

some good times you know I did not go car shopping I did not go car shopping it actually I think it might be easier for me to go on a weekday especially now that our schedule is a little different so hopefully this week I will go and now I'm leaning towards Volvo like last week I was leaning towards Lexus but a lot of people have weighed in one I think the biggest factor in bringing me towards Volvo is Edward Cullen like when you think about what a car represents and what kind of vibe you're putting forth like I want to be putting forth Cullen vibes and of course that really like and it's if it's good enough for Edward and you know that like Stephanie Meyer researched and researched what car she should choose for Edward and she came up with that like why do I and researched what car she should choose for Edward.

And she came up with that. Like, why do I need to do more research? If that's the best. A hundred percent. When I was, when we were talking last week about like car associations, like where you associate different brands with, I totally forgotten that the Volvos were an exclusively Cullen car. And that changes everything. It really changes everything. So I'm fully on board I'm in support as long as I get like my seat heater in the passenger seat you know not lights like lots

of leg room have apple carplay all that stuff I'm okay with that I'm great I think that's wonderful yeah so I think that's where I'll be headed first and it's like for the Cullens and for the mamas for real so I feel like that's gonna be what's best for me so hopefully I'll have an update about that this week but other than that just relaxing weekend at home not much to report and um like kind of like discussing not much to report when you literally live in the same house as my my king Roldy what's new with him well he got a car this weekend so that was exciting for him I saw Harry got a car before his mom he did he has one of his like little toy cars um we put it together this weekend he was driving around his new whip and he was obsessed like obsessed beyond we played

with it all weekend he never got tired of it we never got tired of seeing him in it it was so much fun I feel like I could see Harry just like picking up bitches in that car bitches being me yeah no it's a convertible and like it plays music and he was just like driving in it and it literally looks like he was in Miami like cruising down the side of the beach I'm in Miami bitch that's literally Harry like imagine Harry at the clubs like he picked up Bruno and the two of them were just like cruising for girls and it was really yeah two of them picking up bitches yeah they wouldn't refer to women that way but they were looking for nice young ladies no I think that Harry would never refer to like a woman as a bitch but I could see Bruno fucking up some bitches you know only

went on Nolia on her worst day she needs it don't tell snitch even though everyone's about to dm her they said Nolia needs to be fucked up all All right. Well, we have a fabulous show today. We've got stories. We've got heart. We've got charisma. And I feel like there's no better time than the present to dive into the Fast Five. What do you think, Jax? I think it is time without further ado about sports, which we just can't stop talking about

these days. I cannot stop. We don't have any sports stories, but you know us, we'll find a way to make it about sports. And then in turn, find a way to make it about us. Because sports is about us. Sports is life. Sports is life, bro.

It is time for the best five stories that you need to know. And today's episode, I would be remiss. I would be devastated.

Now, I meant to ask you this before we dove into the podcast but now it's too late like because I was also looking this morning for stories and it's impossible to open your phone without being inundated by something Prince Harry has said are we discussing any Prince Harry um nonsense today no like I can take a fucking hint with you yelling at me saying you don't want to talk about it so I I kind of read between the lines on that and I didn't choose any more Megan and Harry stories no I'm glad because like I'm so subtle I didn't know if you had like picked up on that yeah no I I'm like pretty with it I would say like I can really like understand people and I felt like that's what you were trying to tell me but you couldn't find the words no and you definitely understand people really well but

you really understand me and I'm not the type of person to just like kind of say how I feel outright I'll just kind of skirt around the issue and what I love about you and just working with you as my sister was like you know you you get me yeah because you're really are like passive aggressive and you just like want people to read your mind and that's what I do though I'm I'm your personal mind reader so true so true so true so no we will not be discussing any of the craziness that's going on I think I need to start a new podcast literally because there's so much going on like if if this were a one-woman show like we would be talking about it every single day because the craziness continues to unfold like he doesn't stop sitting down for interviews. But we won't be talking about any of that.

Instead we'll be talking about the other big news. From the weekend. Which is that Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Star Jen Shah has been sentenced to six and a half years. In prison for fraud. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Star Jen Shah has been sentenced to six and a half years. Or 78 months in prison for wire fraud.

Her attorney told Page Six on friday that quote jen is deeply regrets the mistakes that she has made and is profoundly sorry to the people she has hurt jen has faith in our justice system understands that anyone who breaks the law will be punished and accepts this sentence as just jen will pay her debt to society and when she's a free woman again she vows to pay her debt to the victims harmed by her mistakes okay I was really shocked of course on Friday's episode we were waiting with bated breath refreshing our phones every 10 seconds waiting to see what the verdict would be and then it came out literally 20 minutes after our episode dropped but I'm actually glad that it did because I had like a lot of questions um about it and I

was able to read up on her sentencing. And I said before, like, I know their crimes were not similar, but I am comparing this almost just instinctively to the Chrisley case because the Chrisleys were sentenced to 12 years in prison like a month ago. So it's just in my mind, like reality star, you know, finance crimes. And I found her sentence to be so much lower, especially because when that big thing came out, when she was arrested, the attorney general, she was facing up to 30 years. So I just six and a half years is obviously a long time to like not see your family and stay in prison. But like based on what she was up against, it doesn't it feels like she she got a good sentence. Yeah. I don't know why I thought she was going away for like 50 years.

Right. Because that's how they made it seem when the whole thing happened. Like the FBI, attorney general, years. Right. Because that's how they made it seem when the whole thing happened. Like the FBI, attorney general, us federal government. Like it was definitely. And I think her taking or her, the plea deal and, and what's the word?

Like admitting guilt, pleading, pleading guilty was huge for her. And so that's what I learned when I was just like looking into the Chrisley thing is like the Chrisley's went to trial. They like wasted, like when you waste the government's like time and energy and money when you are guilty. I think you get a harsher sentence than like just admitting your guilt, saving the court, the judge, the jurors time.

And they'll give you leniency for that. So she at first wasn't pleading guilty. She was going to go to trial. And then a few weeks ago or months ago, I forgot how long she said, yeah said yeah I did that shit and that was smart because that's how she ended up with six and a half years I don't know what she would have gotten if they had went through the whole trial yeah or she could have been proven innocent if she felt that she was innocent that's why you go to trial if you think you're innocent yeah well I guess she wasn't so it's not that I mean six and a half years is a long time but like I feel like by the time she comes out like housewives will still be on the air and like

she'll be back I just thought that like she would get a sentence that was so long that like whenever she comes back like there's no more housewives like we've moved on like you and I will be 50 years old the aliens have inhabited the planet I know what you mean but no and then Dumois posted something which of course you take with a grain of salt that Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is going on hiatus like they're kind of gonna like clean with the cast it's really bad the show and they're gonna take some time off like maybe pull a Dallas not cancel it but like it won't be around for a while and so it kind of makes sense like maybe they take off like six and a half years like I feel like at this point Dallas has been off the air for at least three years and it doesn't feel like it's been that long so another three and then if it

were to come back in another three that would be like Salt Lake City waiting for Jen it's not inconceivable no it's not inconceivable especially I don't know how it works with federal crimes but like people get sentenced to like 10 years and they get out in six for good behavior or whatever like she she I don't know I don't know with federal crimes like you I think you have to serve I think I read somewhere like 80 percent of your sentence so I don't know what the minimum amount of time that she could serve is but yeah and I just I really feel like even if the Dumois thing's not true but like the way the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City were given this like gem like they they they could have made these last two seasons into like historically good seasons but the way that like this gen thing happened which is like the craziest most global historic

news in Housewives history and then they're going on hiatus because they flopped so much like it's so crazy to me I feel like I know I can't stop talking about it but it should have been huge and it wasn't yeah well they weren't equipped and all of this happened after the first season of housewives so maybe they just like were not up to the challenge they weren't seasoned enough housewives yeah they didn't know how to definitely what it how to do the job that's definitely what it was. And so when I compare it again, like to the Chrisleys, first of all, it's double the time.

They're going away for 12 years. The Chrisleys are older. And it's like, by the time you get out, like six years is a long time, but like, it's not like you'll, you know, you see Mr. Kids growing up. Like it does feel like a very lenient sentence. It really does.

Yes, it does. In the grand scheme of what could have been and in the grand scheme of what she did and it's like the chrisleys defrauded like the government and banks and and even though i will say what what i also read and discovered was like they weren't you know defrauding city bank it was these like smaller southern like mom and pop banks still like big institutions but not you know chase so it's still fucked up for sure but i think what jen shaw did is like 45 times worse yes i would agree so this saga which like i feel like it all happened kind of quickly like when she from when she got arrested like when we read about it it doesn't feel like it's been that long even though it has been what like two years two three years maybe

it does feel like the whole process was pretty quick yeah in hindsight but not what it felt like for so long it was like we'll see and it's until proven guilty now she's pled guilty what's the sentence though like now it's really over for now until whenever she starts serving. And then I'm sure we'll see her on Real Housewives in six and a half years. Yeah, no. And I also probably would assume it didn't feel like it went by really quickly for John Cha. But also I think that do you want it to go by quickly or do you want to drag it out because

then you get more time before you have to go? Yeah, but then you're also just delaying the inevitable like yeah you want to push back what you go into prison but you're gonna have to go anyway so you might as well just get it over with. Yes maybe at this stage now that she knows what her sentence is but like along the way you can kind of delude yourself into thinking like well maybe I'll be proven innocent okay well maybe the sentence won't be that long like I think now that she's gotten her sentence, I think a lot of people do want to go and start it as soon as possible.

But over the last few years, dragging out might not have been the worst thing for her. And it bought her more time on the show. That's true. And like more opportunities to make money because I'm sure she also owes some sort of restitution to her victims. Yes, she should.

As she should. And I don't know what federal prison is like i don't know what you know is it i i think i i read she was going away to a minimum security prison in texas yeah she's going to texas um i don't know if our federal prison's like worse better is it like you know the laurie lachlan type of prison like is it like chill is it camp i don't know i don't know either wishing her best you know I'm wishing her the best wishing her victims you know a speedy recovery because it's so fucked up like it's beyond yeah yeah okay are you ready for our next story yeah yeah I am a little nepo baby news because Hailey Bieber is weighing in on the discourse with a fashion statement.

Hailey Bieber is not afraid to make a fashion statement. The Roadskid founder stepped out in LA on Friday and was photographed in a parking garage wearing a baby tee with the words Nepo baby printed across the front. She obviously like styled it in her classic way. Jeans, some stomper boots little purse lethal bag and people are quaking she's really embracing the controversy some celebrities like Gwyneth commented being

like I'm gonna need a bunch of these shirts and I'm kind of loving her approach to this I agree I think a lot of people thought this was like a major serve for her like because on the nepo baby topic like we want to hear from everyone except the nepo babies and like I think a lot of nepo babies during the the the discourse have come on and like responded and just kind of defended themselves being like I've worked really hard and there's no doubting that but like shut up like it's just kind of like it's not it's not illegal to be a nepo baby but like don't talk like seriously shut up and Hayley Bieber just kind of owning it with the t-shirt is so like iconically iconic and it's just it's exactly what we needed because like we don't want to hear from them like

yep I'm a nepo baby period end of story and that's what she did and like Gwyneth getting involved in like commenting it's like it's this was such a sleigh it was a sleigh and a half it was and it shows like you know a level of self-deprecation like humor and personality which I think underscores the point that nepo babies are trying to make when they do try and speak about it which is like I have more to offer than just yeah my birthright and also the fact that she is very famous for being very stylish. And then she's like taking the title and putting her spin on it.

I think it's really a beautiful moment in celebrity Nepo babies taking back their power. I completely agree. Like, and honestly, I didn't see Haley Bieber as like someone who would do this. I feel like she like avoids all certain types of like controversy or conflict or even just like you know sticky subjects so I feel like she would have just let this conversation happen around her she's obviously a nepo baby she's not

going to speak out on it she's not going to defend herself she's not going to defend nepo baby she's not going to attack nepo babies I feel like she's very conflict diverse so this is kind of like a big deal yeah I agree I didn't see this for her but also I feel like when we talk about the biggest nepo babies like who comes to mind weirdly I don't think we've talked about her once even though of course she is a nepo baby period but like when we were going back and forth with names I feel like there are some that get the most credit attention attention and backlash probably and I feel like she inserted herself into this conversation when really she wasn't getting that much heat over it actually I'm not in her dms and in her comments

like I don't know what people say to her but and it just like I could say the Jelena Stans don't ever say anything about Hailey but like she experiences it differently but I do feel like she's not even top 10 of who you think of when you think of Nepo Lady. That's true. And I think it's mostly because like her dad's kind of like a flop. Like he's certainly like an actor. But when you think of the Baldwin family, you think of Alec. So I think part of it has to do with her being like the niece of Alec and her dad, like definitely being like an accomplished actor,

but not like a big Hollywood wheeling and dealing power like he's not that famous so I think mostly it's because of that yeah and also I don't know maybe it's also because like at this point she's also married to someone who's so big so what's the word for that person right now that's an amazing call Married like Nepo wife I feel like if everything in the world made sense Like Hailey Bieber would have been Alec Baldwin's daughter and Ireland Baldwin Would have been Stephen Baldwin's daughter

Do you know what I mean I do but I do and I don't Yeah I know what you mean On a surface level On a surface lyrics level Yes which we love lyrics that go Beyond the surface level, yes. Like a fame, on a surface lyrics level. Yes, which we love lyrics that go beyond the surface sometimes, but sometimes we just need to stay on the surface.

And I know we have so many new listeners, and it's so annoying when we always reference old inside jokes, but I'm genuinely begging you to go find the reference of surface lyrics. It is probably one of my favorite stories ever told. I don't know what episode it is. You don't tell it off. You haven't told it more than once. So just tell it. I was in Nashville and maybe like 2018. Ben and I used to have like this big partnership with Diageo Spirits. So we would travel mostly

with like Captain Morgan and some of their like, you know, millennial brands. We became really friendly with the people who work there. Like I still am friends with a lot of them. And they knew we loved country music and Nashville. And so I had never been to Nashville. And they were planning a, it wasn't an influencer trip. It was a, like, food writers. Like, they were going to the George Dickel Distillery in Nashville. It was going to be, it wasn't an influencer trip.

It was just like this press trip. And they were like, if you guys want to come, like you can come, like it's not like an influencer fancy trip. Like you've never been to Nashville and like you love country music. And Dustin Lynch was performing. So we just like hopped along like on this influence, on this writer's trip full of like writers from around the world who write about like liquor, like cocktails and food. And so it was a kind of like an older kind of like weird crowd, but like me and Ben were just happy to be there. And we were doing like a day of activities. We went to the distillery and then we went to like, what's it called? Hattie B's hot chicken. So we're

in this car with a bunch of like fancy older writers and we're talking about Nashville and it's me and Ben's first time. And i was i said i'm like i love country music they're like really that's so weird you're from new york yada yada and we were talking about why we like country music and ben like answered for us which is just weird because like ben doesn't even like country music as much as i do and he goes he gave like probably the weirdest answer um anyone could ever give as to why they like country music ben goes yeah no it's just like if you listen to the lyrics they're so not like surface lyrics and the car was just silent like nobody responded because one like what the fuck does that even mean and two like okay surface lyrics like what

when we got out of the car I roasted Ben to fucking filth I'm like what the fuck did you just say he was like so embarrassed like nobody answered him nobody even made a sound like the conversation died at that moment nobody said anything until we got out of the car and now I can't say the word surface whether I'm talking about like a surface cleaner or you know on the surface it has to be surface lyrics and he said lyrics not lyrics which is just another wrong yeah wrong so that's where surface lyrics comes from in case you were wondering yeah and that's why on the surface lyrics it would seem like a Haley Bieber should be Alec's child. Oh, speaking of Alec Baldwin, I'm sure this isn't a story because it's moronic, but I wanted to share.

Did you see Alec Baldwin is being mocked endlessly for his most recent Instagram post? I saw he was being mocked, something to do with a million followers. So he made this video like begging his followers to follow Ilaria or as I like to call her Hillary from Boston um he was begging people to follow her uh her birthday's coming up and he wants to help her reach a million followers and it was just like kind of like something I would do you know and like why is Alec Baldwin this like major actor you know doing this it was kind of beneath him and he got roasted and that's just what happened with That's what happens when you fuck around You find out yeah no that's what happens

When you act out and like act embarrassing On social media Sorry Especially when you're Alec Baldwin like you've just got Like bigger things you should be worried about No especially when you're Alec Baldwin who like In you know recent years has really Become like not

Like not taken seriously. I think the Hillary of it all. Not people's favorite. The Hillary of it all had a lot to do with it. And I think him urging people, like begging for followers and then it being his scam artist, Anna Delvey wife,

it just wasn't, it wasn't the vibe. Right. I would say also the shooting has a lot to do with it. I mean, of course. I didn't want to bring that up, but yeah.

Why the fuck do you have to bring that up? By the way, you have to get on TikTok. I'm on TikTok because I talk to you every day. So true. I'm kind of like the personification of TikTok. You really are. Why the fuck do you have to bring that up? It's so true.

Because it's germane to Alec Baldwin. No, it is germane. And it's still, in my my mind one of the craziest things that's probably ever happened in the history of Hollywood um and it's so sad it is so sad like this woman this mom this young talented woman died it is so sad that's why like I that's honestly why I didn't bring it up because like at the end of the day it's like this crazy Alec Baldwin thing but it's also like literally somebody died so it it to me it's one of the craziest and saddest things that's ever happened yeah but I think it would be like sadder to not forget about it and just kind of like let it pass without just like you're right constantly being like being like. Remembering her.

Agreed. Are you ready for our next story? Switching gears in a major way. To a little beauty business news. Oh my god. Yes. I'm so glad you chose this story. Morphe Cosmetics is closing all U.S. retail stores.

Employees say they were left in the dark for weeks. Morphe Cosmetics, a makeup brand once synonymous with YouTube beauty culture, confirmed Thursday it was shutting down all its U.S. stores. A move that shocked its employees, outreach customers, and left some experts questioning the brand's future. Well, it sounds like the future is bleak if they just closed down all their stores, but okay. The news comes after a handful of-

Yeah, I feel like there's actually nothing questionable about the future. They just told us. I don't have questions about the future. I have questions about the future I have questions about the past right like how the fuck why the fuck do you have to bring that up no like how did they fumble the ball so big well I think it's more of a statement on YouTube beauty culture than it is on Morphe because Morphe was just an extension of YouTube beauty culture I feel like

they didn't expand right now I mean based on what you tell me like beauty culture is really popping off on tiktok so like mckayla should have a line at morphe alex earl based on and this is just me you know getting my information from my favorite trusted news source mclardia laturdia and that's just how you know like i genuinely um like i'm right about everything because you're 100% right. I think it's I think a lot of people are shocked because beauty is a space that's so impacted by influencer culture. So a brand that, like, dove headfirst into influencer culture failing like this, it's like, well, is this a statement on influencer, you know, like the value of influencers? And no, actually, I think maybe like two years ago when TikTok started popping off is really when Morphe started dying off in my mind. Like they were so in YouTube culture and that was great for a while. But you're right. Like the epicenter of beauty trends

is TikTok right now. And I feel like when they launched Morphe 2, they made Charlie and Dixie the face. And then that was the last thing they ever did with TikTok. And I don't know why they didn't lean in more. You're right. Like Mikaela. And even so many of those big YouTube people are now huge on TikTok. And I think they value it just as much as they value their YouTube channels. Like Nikki Tutorials is huge. Jackie Aina. Like, I don't know why Morphe didn't keep up that energy past the YouTube era. Yeah. I mean, maybe there's more, you know, behind the scenes where it's like they couldn't afford to invest more in like these new people. And I understand like going so hard on influencer culture. And I don't think that that's a bad business model, but if you're going to do

that, you have to be aware of like influencer culture changes every five minutes and you have to change with that. And like, I wouldn't give every influencer like their whole ass line. Like I'd be like, let's collab on a product. Like, oh, Alex Earl's always wearing the white eyeliner. Like let's do Alex Earl eyeliner. How do you know that? Because I don't know. I really don't.

Well, I follow Alex Earl on Instagram. So I get bits and pieces of Miss Earl. What do you think about her? She's kind of everything of the sort. She's really fabulous. She's just like, you could tell, and I know from you that she's just like in college and being a college girl.

You can tell from so much of her content. She's just like going to parties. She like posts with her friends. And then she also does like influence-y type things. But it does feel like following someone who's in college who's just like famous at their college, which is fun. Yeah, it must be exciting for her to like go to college parties with just like people she's hung out with for the last four be exciting for her to like go to college parties

with just like people she's hung out with for the last four years but then also like go to LA and meet Selena Gomez like really it best how to Montana yeah and also to like post from like her regular life stuff and it must be so fun for her friends to be like oh my god this is crazy no I feel like when we like years ago had Danielle Carolan on the toast you spoke to her a lot about that because she was in college at the time. And she was like blowing up on YouTube. And it's like so cool to have these like two different like worlds, but then be like kind of famous in college. Yeah. Famous in college.

So it also is important to note about the Morphe thing. They're closing their retail stores. I think they're still going to be they still are a beauty brand. So I think also this is probably just a statement on retail in general. I think there's a lot of successful makeup brands and they don't have their own stores. I would argue that most most don't. Yes, but I actually think that retail is pretty important for beauty. Like I think for a lot of other categories, you can pretty much write out retail completely.

But like to go to the store and to see the colors in person and like to swab it like that's something that you can pretty much write out retail completely but like to go to the store and to see the colors in person and like to swab it like that's something that you can't get online and so I don't think that like retail needs to be dead for the beauty industry in general like I do think that I sometimes order my makeup online but I really do prefer to go to the store yeah of course but like if you're gonna go to a makeup store you're gonna go to Sephora that sells 50 brands are you gonna go to Morphe that sells one brand well it depends what you're looking for like i'm saying these individual brands having their own stores like that's really difficult to maintain i feel like the only brand who continues to do that and is still killing it

is mac and that's because mac is like the original beauty brand ever like the first one ever made but that's that's not why they're still killing it then why why do you think they are I have no idea what like I don't really shop there I don't know what their secret sauce is but just because they were the first honestly sometimes when you're the first you're also the last like yeah but like they're they're so at the epicenter of like makeup artist like I feel like if you want to be a makeup artist you have to have worked at Mac it's like this really prestigious which is so crazy because i actually don't think i use a single mac product at one time yes and i think for a long time that sustained their business but like why they are still in business today i would love to know yeah there's a question the whole industry has changed they're not really like tiktoky and but

sometimes just like quality is quality like i don't care what's going on on TikTok like I want good shit and I know that MAC has it that's it but they have major like quality major quality period I'm gonna end the sentence they have the major quality major quality that's how I feel about a lot of the brands that I use because I don't really switch up my makeup ever. But like some of my favorite cosmetic brands like NARS, they're not doing anything crazy. They're not going viral. It's just major quality. Actually, they do have like some virality.

What do they go viral for? I mean, their most recent launch of foundation, I'm actually wearing it today, NARS Light Reflecting Foundation, is like aok top five um product it is one of the best foundations like i use it every day i've been using their foundation for like four or five years yeah and the the old one the version that you use the taller skinnier bottle is also like a staple but the new one like michaela negara is on this journey to finding her wedding foundation and she's like narrowed it down to five of the best. And the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation is on that list. I also have the Light Reflecting Foundation because I'm on their PR list. So I use that one when I can't find my tall skinny one. And I love it too.

I love it. I think they're both really great. That's also the other thing about this Morphe situation is like in the last few years, there's a million new brands. Some pop off, some don't. And there really isn't space for an unlimited amount of brands in the beauty space. So it's like Fenty and Selena Gomez, like all these celebrity ones taking off. And then these ones going viral, creating huge beauty brands.

Jones Road, Bobbi Brown. Like there's so many brands. Like eventually we were just reported recently. Becca is going out. Bite Beauty is going out like there's not enough space for everyone. So eventually somebody and so just Morphe being one to like scale down is a really big deal because they were so big. Yeah, they were so big.

So in addition to scaling down, a handful of the company's employees took to TikTok over the holidays to call out the company's lack of transparency during the layoffs with many using the hashtag hashtag justice for Morphe retail employees. Viewers quickly responded in support blasting the brand for allegedly leaving its employees in the dark while stores ran out of inventory. Some beauty experts said the news was not surprising given that the company had reportedly experienced years of financial and legal troubles and reputational damage. The brand's treatment of employees during the shutdown could further hurt its reputation among Gen Z consumers who have already demonstrated their aversion towards Morphe.

No, like, I mean, I don't keep, like, I'm into beauty, but I'm not that into beauty that I was, like, keeping up with Morphe's sales and scandals. But if you are, then you might have heard that. I hadn't heard any of that. Like, as far as I knew, it definitely just felt like from a consumer POV, like and someone who's on TikTok

and watches a lot of social media, like Morphe was just becoming irrelevant. Yeah, because I think that the people that they invested in were less relevant than, not only less relevant than they once were, but also like controversial now, like James Charles and Jeffree Star. And like, that's really,

I think where they probably put the most money into. And so then there's like not really money for other tings yeah but what's so crazy is like no matter how controversial that James Charles palette with Morphe I think is the best-selling eyeshadow palette in the history of beauty like it it was the biggest baddest thing yeah no and and it was but it's like what'd you do today you know and that's what's sad like you can't just like cruise on that one palette no and that's what like if you're gonna get into any space that's like even like what we do like influencing or podcasting it's so you can't be stagnant for one minute you can't rest you cannot you can't rest so and beauty is like

now weirdly like such a tech influence space that you have to keep doing be doing the most it's exhausting like the amount of launches the amount of companies the amount of new products like and like also with beauty like everybody wants everyone to invent like the newest thing it's not just about like coming out with cool colors of existing products but it's like did you transform my face today with one lip gloss or no right is this lip gloss also a blush that changes the ph of your face then i don't want it exactly it's like it's very competitive which is good for the consumer because i feel like there's so much good makeup out there no matter what like your price range is your budget is whatever you're looking for I feel like the crazy boom in the makeup industry has actually been great for us like I feel like I love all the makeup I've you know gotten over the last few years and like I now

use like my core products I feel like makeup is like kind of like killing it yeah no for sure it is it's definitely a fun industry for to be in I'm not speaking from experience I'm just saying like it seems like a fun uh place it also has really high margins so there's a lot of room for big success but you've got to constantly be innovating not just like with colors like with products like you literally need to be an inventor so good luck to you on that I personally I like the classics I don't really get caught up in these trends like everyone's always like do an updated makeup tutorial. And it's like, I totally could. I'd be happy to, but it's the same one

that you saw four years ago. It's tried and true. And you experienced it when I did your makeup because you do TikTok makeup, but I do like back in the day contour makeup, like just like angles. And you were like, yeah, there's something to this. 100%, like it's a staple for a reason

so don't feel bad if you're not caught up with these trends because I don't feel bad not don't feel bad I know some people might be feeling bad I know like they're probably listening to this podcast crying like don't cry it's okay it's okay if you don't have a lipstick that's also a blush that changes the ph of your skin yeah i mean it's it's fine it's not okay but it's fine totally well are you ready for our next story if it's the next story that's brought to you by framebridge is that perchance the story that you have it is it is framebridge the custom framing company is the perfect way to refresh your space for the new year by framing everything that matters to you and And that's because they can FrameBridge just about anything, whether it's game day jerseys,

and Luke the Bravo liberties have called it quits after less than less than three months of dating Ashley confirmed on Sunday night's episode of Watch What Happens Live. She said, quote, Luke and I are not romantically involved anymore. She went on to explain that her ongoing divorce with her estranged husband, Michael Darby, is to blame for their split. She said, quote,

it was my situation with Michael that affected Luke and I. She said that she and Michael are having a really hard time with co-parenting and separating. She said, really, my life is very complicated. As you guys can imagine, I'm going through a very difficult situation that doesn't mean Luke didn't try his best though she said quote Luke was a trooper believe me he went through some things she also said that she met his family during their time together and that quote they were amazing I fell in love with them so great she said she isn't worried about jumping back into the dating

pool again I'm newly single This is my first relationship after. And it's nice to be reminded that I am a girl and that I love to love and I love to be loved. Give me all the love. So I would say this is the definition of like a rebound relationship that's totally positive. Didn't work out. I don't think anyone expected these two to get married. But like gave Ashley her groove back and like showed her what she deserves. And I think that's a beautiful

storybook ending no like as much as this was like a cute couple I'm not surprised and I'm not sad I feel like actually we got out of these two like more than I thought we were gonna get I really thought it was like a Bravo con like drunk hookup and like they were living for like the social media attention I didn't think it was gonna be anything real and the fact that she actually experienced like a nice three-month relationship with somebody who probably treated her so much better and so different than her previous relationship and like showed her like the possibilities of what's out there I feel like she's probably really grateful to Luke I'm grateful to Luke and like you know what it's okay I feel like it's okay I feel like it's okay too every day of these three months was a blessing for all of us and more than we deserved and I I think this is all good and you know some people come

into your life for a reason or a season no it's so true and I feel like I follow Ashley Darby on TikTok and she's like really get like feeling herself like getting her groove back I think she's like you know reached this just like kind of peaceful place she's always dancing she's always with her friends and so I feel like Luke probably helped get her there a little bit like showing showing her you know it doesn't always have to be that hard in a relationship and I feel like he probably kept it like simple and fun and he's young and it was good and it was a fun moment for the Bravo fans a little crossover and it was good it was good it's enough it was good I don't really know Luke that well because I didn't watch Summer House when he was on. I only know him from like that one season of Winter House where he was just like kind

of like being a lumberjack. And while like I'm really happy for Ashley Darby and I feel like the narrative here is like good for Ashley. This was good for Ashley. Like, you know, he was everything she needed him to be. But it's like, what about Luke? Like, when's it going to be Luke's turn? He seems like a good guy, you know, and he's not just like here to be like used I know you mean

yeah yeah yeah no I know you're saying it's like yeah thanks Luke but it's like what about Luke like when is it Luke's turn I totally hear what you're saying I feel like um I watched him on Summer House he like went through a little bit of a rough patch like kind of like giving fuckboy energy but at the end of the day he's like a nice guy he's not a bad guy um he's not like austin level i just think maybe he was like bad at communicating and got himself like a little bit of a bad reputation because like he literally couldn't talk to people um i think i think luke gets on fine honestly i think luke is taking care of luke for real do you think it will be luke's turn soon no because you know what like this is just a fact of life like some people are main characters and some people are not.

And you don't think he's a main character? No, he gives very, like, supportive energy. Like, supportive character energy. Wow. Okay, that's, like, really, really harsh. Is it? I think it's harsh. Yeah, I think everybody, if you're not the main character of your own life

like i didn't say that what are you doing no he's the main character of his own life for sure just not like everyone else's you know what i mean yeah but oh i guess like for you you're no no no no it's not when you say it like that like but you are the main character of everyone's life that you're in we can can say that. Duh. Yeah. Yeah. But Luke isn't. So are you, bitch. So are you.

Thank you. You are definitely, like, main character. You're, like, you have charisma. Like, you walk into a room and, like, the room changes. You know what I mean? Oh, my God. Thank you. I need to bring up Luke more if these are the compliments.

Yeah, no. I guess I could see. I could see how, like, you saying that what I I said was me and I could see how that's definitely true um what I was saying is just like I really honestly don't know what I was saying and now I feel like a bully so can we move on I get what you're saying more so okay but like in the movie of Luke's life where he is the main character as you stated like when will it be his turn and what does his turn even look like okay so I feel like it's been his turn like he got on this show people really like him he's very handsome I think he was like you know trying to become an

actor before now he probably makes a good living he gets a lot of girls I think Luke is fine you think Luke's fine yeah I think Luke is like totally fucking fine Totally fine Okay Are you ready for our fifth and final story Oh my god already yeah It's some twists I'm ready for our fifth and final story Go Dawgs

Go Dawgs go It is some twisted Fucking news bravo adjacent Because at the end of last week randall emmett's ex-wife amber childers claimed that the fbi is investigating randall for pedophilia wait amber childers wait did we report on friday about lisa rena yeah oh okay i don't remember sorry continue i thought that was the story It wasn't very memorable Other than to say yeah remember we talked about Ding dong what could it mean

Oh yeah yeah yeah thank you Um Amber Childers Claimed in a court filing that the FBI is Investigating her ex-husband Randall Emmett For suspected child exploitation and pedophilia Also Randall Emmett is the former Partner of Lala Kent who is our queen On Vanderpump Rules um Mother of Ocean Randall is also is the former partner of Lala Kent, who is our queen on Vanderpump Rules, mother of Ocean.

Randall is also like a Hollywood producer. What? Randall is also like a Hollywood producer. A Hollywood producer, yes. Childers, who shares two minor children with Emmett, made the explosive allegation in a signed declaration she submitted as part of a domestic violence restraining order request

filed in the LA Superior Court in late December. In the court documents obtained by Page Six, the actress alleged that the movie producer is, quote, being investigated by the FBI for suspected child exploitation and or pedophilia. Emmett, by the way, Randall, has denied the allegation, telling Page Six, I'm not being investigated by the FBI nor anyone else, and the notion that I am is beyond absurd. He said anyone can say whatever they want in a pleading that doesn't make it true there is zero evidence that i'm being investigated for anything and we will still share 50 50 custody

of our children i am shocked in an utter disbelief that amber would even hint at something so disgusting and untrue and then he also posted a video to his instagram where he slams these quote lies as well at this point the lies have been stretched so far we spent today getting confirmation because we knew there was no truthfulness to any of this that the FBI has never been investigating me and isn't investigating me because there's nothing to investigate so that's I mean well the thing the good thing about this is like it's not he said she said like either there's an FBI investigation or there ain't. So we'll just have to wait and see what the verdict of that is. Because that's, it's a huge, huge allegation.

It's a huge allegation. And I often, like, you know, divorces can be messy and people say stuff. And I feel like typically I would be like, we kind of have to wait and see. Like you can't just like slander, you're innocent until you're proven guilty. But like Randall is a liar. Like he lied to us he lied to lala like he's yeah so i'm inclined to disbelieve him also people have been referencing the fact that over the last year since lala left him like she's been alluding to stuff about randall that she said that is so disgusting so depraved she can't even say like we know some of the stuff that he did during their relationship

and like some of the lies you know the brown fake diamond ring that she was wearing for two years um but then she was also saying that there's more that she found out that it's just like so awful so gross and people are now thinking that this might be that so it kind of seems like there's a trail here it tracks a little bit it's it doesn't seem like it's so inconceivable but yes you are innocent until proven guilty and I guess technically anyone can plead anything but to write it in a sworn statement in a judicial document seems like kind of crazy if it's not true I also am curious about the relationship between Amber and Lala do we know it's obviously at first it's good it's good they got they started getting along when Lala was still with Randall yes co-parenting now that Lala's yeah Lala's not with him like I think

they have a good relationship I think Lala has like so much respect for her and I think everything's fine between the two of them okay good yeah but what's twisted is like so say their FBI is investigating Randall he still has like custody of his daughters he has three daughters between the two women and so that's fucking weird if these allegations are true right um and how do we just find out if they're true? I feel like can the FBI release a statement? I'm curious. I know the FBI really should weigh in, but they won't do that. Well, hopefully it's not true. But if it is like that's actually disgusting and vile and he deserves jail. So we'll wait and see. And perhaps he will get jail once the investigation is concluded.
