It's Jackson claude and we're your host

it's your favorite show the fast five things you need to know

we'll start your day off swirly it's the toast i sound amazing

welcome back to the toast and happy friday that doesn't feel like a friday because while it's the end of a chapter it's the beginning of something hello everyone welcome back to the toast i'm your

hurst i'm your host turdy lou here for the final time in life as we currently know it.

And I'm joined by a very pargy co-host this morning.

As you guys know, Jax was unavailable.

And I said, don't worry, it's the perfect thing.

It's a time for BSC on the toast.

Hello, BSC.

How you dering?

You never have to fear.

I'm always waiting in the wings.

Is it wings or winds?

Wings?

Wings.

Waiting in the wings.

We know you're always just like creepily standing in the corner waiting for your time.

I'm always ready here.

And I just want to say, because I don't think you get enough credit.

I agree.

I don't know what you're going to say, but I agree that I'm never given enough credit.

That you went an entire pregnancy doing the toast every day.

Nobody really understands.

Like everybody thinks like that hard, but no, it is.

Everybody thinks like, oh, I can do it.

I can talk.

It's really hard, especially with brains.

Like pregnancy brain, I have just like regular brain problems.

We're going to get into bed making my pregnancy about him, but I really appreciate the compliment.

Oh, okay.

And I take it back.

I know.

I'm glad you brought it up because if you would have told me that I would have made it through a whole pregnancy with only taking one show off that day, I woke up really sick and you filled in for me.

I wouldn't have believed you.

So yeah, I agree.

I'm a hero.

I'm an amazing business person and media mogul.

And I agree with everything you said.

Kudos to you.

Thank you.

Kudos to you.

Now, how am I making a pregnancy about myself?

Oh my God.

Like literally, every time I have an ailment, you're like, oh my God, me too.

By the way, I do.

What, should I lie?

No, you're like, my back is killing me.

It is killing me.

Your back?

No, yours is definitely.

See, See, let's normalize two people having problems.

You, your back can hurt more than mine.

But if you say, oh, my back hurts, that reminds me, oh, you know,

I need to go see stretched.

So how do you think it makes me feel feeling?

I need to go get stretched.

How do you think it makes me feel to hear you complaining about your back problems?

I think it's fine because I'm rubbing your back and I'm actively making you feel better.

Are you rubbing my back?

You don't need it.

See?

Every time I have like, I'm like, when Ben looks at me, he's like, oh, I'm having bad heartburn.

I'm like, you're having heartburn?

Well, all i want to say okay all i want to say this is your first like real stint with heartburn right yeah i've never had like chronic issues with heartburn and anyone who suffers outside of pregnancy with like every day you have my utmost sympathy except like you can do something about it like you can okay you can okay take real medication okay any of your uh morbidly obese listeners i one of them yes you're the vast majority of my life uh well maybe a little bit less morbid now but it's still morbidly obese I had heartburn for so long.

Terrible, terrible heartburn.

When you're really fat, it's really bad.

Really, really bad.

And there are some people that aren't fat and still are predisposed to it.

There was that big claim, that big company, the one you said you could just take medication.

There was one of those companies who's giving people cancer.

Nexapro, Nextapro.

I had a something.

I had a program.

It was.

I'll send you the article.

Well, shout out to Pepsid, which has single-handedly got me through this pregnancy.

Yes, I feel for people who have like all these new things that I didn't have.

I know people have really bad heartburn outside of of pregnancy, people have back problems outside of pregnancy.

It's all hitting me in the last nine months.

And so, people who suffer from it all the time, like you have my utmost sympathy and respect, but like that doesn't mean like what I'm going through isn't valid.

Of course, no, it's relatable.

Now, you've been very busy, Ben.

We haven't actually had you on the toast in a while.

You're being obviously an amazing husband, which is a full-time job these days.

You're being

it is

you're being a full-time Nick fan, yes, which is also a full-time job.

Yes, You're obviously entrepreneur, podcast host, you know, celebrity chef.

How is Ben?

Ben is wonderful.

Yeah.

Ben is excited.

Yeah.

Ben is going to be a father of a son.

B-H-B-H-B-H-B-B-H-B-H-B-H.

And the podcast is wonderful.

Speaking of B-H, like literally, the fact that I have Christian morons walking up to me in the street saying B-H.

Christian morons

walking up to me.

If somebody is new here and they don't understand like what you're talking about, Ben and his co-host Josh have like a couple of, maybe like a year ago, decided that how we call you guys like the toasters.

If you listen to the toaster, you're a toaster.

If you listen to his podcast, the good guys gave themselves the title of moron.

You are.

So you guys, people come up to us in the street.

They're like, I'm a moron.

I'm like, okay.

Yeah.

And they literally, like, the morons, the fans of the good guys podcast will walk up to me and say, Ben, BH, BH, I'm from Alabama.

B-H.

I'm like, that is unbelievable.

I'm going to be a dad.

B-H.

The Knicks are in The Knicks are.

I know, but I don't even, I don't know how I feel.

So I wanted to update everybody from yesterday's show.

We did get tickets.

We did.

At this rate, I just want to let you know I'm not going.

Like, I do not feel good.

But.

Who's going to buy that ticket?

I spent so much money on tickets.

And the fact that anybody ever clowned on like girls spending money on the Eras tour when this is what a basketball game costs, which is seriously like.

half the amount of time.

Yeah.

Half is interesting.

Yeah.

Is absurd to me because we spent more on Knicks tickets than I did for like my best era store tickets.

So let me explain.

Taylor Swift does not come.

First of all, I've never ever clowned on you spending money on anything concert related.

I didn't say you.

I'm just saying society.

Okay, sure, whatever.

Society's dumb and poor.

So I think that

Taylor Swift does not come around once every 30 years.

I want to set the record here.

This is the greatest Knicks team.

The best chance that the Knicks have of winning a championship.

In your lifetime.

In my lifetime.

Like, let that sink in that's how a lot of people feel about Taylor Swift though just but I've been to Taylor Swift 1989 I've been to Taylor Swift red I've been to Taylor Swift

red yeah I was with who I don't know

I was at maybe I want to learn I went to Taylor Swift I went to Taylor Swift yeah is that the one with all the snakes yes yeah that one was dark yeah you went to reputation 1989 and eras yes the Knicks

These kids honestly, I guess it's happened every couple of years.

Three years ago, I went on the road in Cleveland.

Do the toasters know that story?

Yes.

They do when I flew private with a bunch of Hasidic Jews home.

I believe I've told the story.

Whenever I'm talking about Ben's like amazing ability to network and you're just sort of like born under this, like these things happen to you that don't happen to other people.

Ben flew to Cleveland for like a Knicks game.

He didn't have a flight home.

He's like, I'll figure it out.

I'll get a hotel.

Should I tell that story?

Sure, please.

I mean, I was in the middle of it, but sure, you know, again, you were speeding through it.

There's some drama to it.

Okay, okay, fine.

Oh my God.

It's going to be like a three-hour episode.

No, I'll have to be quick.

I go to Cleveland, game six, Knicks Calves.

I, again, feel the way that I feel right now, which is like, this is the best chance the Knicks have.

I have to go.

Right.

Okay.

So the feeling you were describing before, it's not once in a lifetime.

I guess not.

I guess not.

I guess it's twice in a lifetime.

My friend Michael Cohen calls me.

Not Trump's lawyer, a different Michael Cohen.

Calls me and says, Ben, I have an extra seat.

Wow.

See, another thing that doesn't happen to other people, like the biggest game of the year, and someone says Benny.

But it does happen to other people if you're not a piece of shit no doubt like if you put good energy out into the world if you invite people to nicks games

if you take take people to dinner then somebody will think of you but if you're sitting there thinking why doesn't anybody do anything for me when you don't do anything for them then no that's not gonna happen the universe it's called karma okay whatever get to the point of story he invites me i go to cleveland okay i i have a a hotel yeah i'm ready to sleep in the hotel but i don't book a flight i said to claude you know there are gonna be enough nick people

that i know at this uh game that I'm going to find someone needs to fly private home.

Okay.

Ben just like sort of put it out there.

I was like, okay, good luck.

Sure, Jam.

I was like, somebody needs to be there.

And I thought, I thought it was, I used to work for Gary Vaynerchuk.

I thought it was Gary.

I see Gary on the court.

I go up to him after the game.

I'm like, Gary, what's going on?

He's like, Ben, good to see you.

I'm like, how are you getting home?

He's like, oh, I have my plane, but we're full.

I'm like, oh, okay.

And I was like, okay, this is not going to happen.

I almost got it.

I'm exiting the stadium.

I'm walking out.

All of a sudden, I get tapped on the shoulder by two Hasidic Jews, Black Hat, Paeus, the whole nine.

And they're like, you know, we're really big fans.

Our wives, our wives are really big fans of Claudia.

Can we please get a picture?

I'm like, oh my God, yes.

Never in my life did I see what was about to happen.

They're like, how are you getting home?

Like, you're kidding, mate.

They're like, we have a jet outside if you want to come.

I'm like, this is, I mean, if that's not Hashemi,

sending you a signal.

So I met literally a life, a lifelong friend.

Of course, that and him are both.

Nashi Newman.

He's the best.

His wife is the best.

Big toaster.

So hopefully they hear this.

Went home with them, flew into Teterboro.

Was home by one.

Michael Cohen's like, how the hell did you swing that?

I'm like, I don't know.

Wait, you didn't take Michael Cohen with you?

No, I did.

No.

He's like, how did you swing this?

You got a seat for Michael Cohen.

Yeah, he came home with I was, by the way.

And this is karma too.

I would never, ever, ever fly private home and leave the person who gave me a free seat.

Right, right, right.

I would have walked home with you.

Yeah, yeah.

I got him a seat.

So that was Nick's Cavs.

Last year, you agreed to go with me to Philly.

I did.

I drove to Philly.

I'm such an amazing wife.

How sick was that game, though?

I don't remember the game being sick.

I just remember I was really skinny and we had really good seats.

We had really good seats.

The Knicks won.

Whenever we go, me and you, the Knicks win.

Hopefully I didn't jinx this for tonight.

Tonight, we spent...

Don't say, please, I'm embarrassed.

More money.

I'm embarrassed.

Than on those two combined.

Yeah, no, it's insane what like grown men will spend on a 90-minute game.

So, this is game six of seven.

It's a big game, it's a big game move.

Yeah, big game.

If they lose this game, I'm just letting you know they're going to lose the series.

Yeah, obviously.

And as much as I love Dave Portnoy, if I see one more Dave Portnoy ramped talking about how the Knicks stock and the Celtics are great, I'm going to kill myself.

No, we are going as of this moment.

I obviously just like need to take a nap and like relax a little bit first.

Um,

and you know what, Ben?

What will be will be, you know, what the Lord wants for the Knicks, the Lord will make happen.

What will be will be.

But the Brunson boys.

How do the Brunson boys feel?

I've been meaning to ask you that.

The Brunson boys are feeling.

We blew up their spot.

Like everybody's talking about them on social media.

I thought you meant about the game.

The Brunson boys, about the game, are cautiously optimistic.

No, I don't care what they're saying.

About the publicity.

Yeah, about like us blowing up their spot.

I think the Brunson boys are feeling good.

Like, are they super private?

Like, are they like...

No, there's really no issues.

Okay, okay.

There's no issues.

Gabe will send me like a a clip right right i think he like called us gay or something

i would never i would never

i didn't say that

but gabe sent me a clip and he's just like yeah like he's excited about his newfound stardom he loves it

he's like they're talking about us right right jack's like they're talking about us victor's like they're talking about us that's the that's the group they're my friends from high school like closest friends and that's the brunson boys and the second that jalen brunson rose the ranks people don't understand like we are watching if he can win some championships we're watching like a young kobe this guy is so freaking clutch it's kind of crazy though because he's like a short king yeah he's not that short he's 6'2.

okay but like compared to the other players he looks like he's jewish he's his wife allie i was talking about this on the toast and then the baby right yeah yeah i sat next to allie at that cleveland game too it sounds like that night was sort of like a magical night for you it really was you should have been there no i really shouldn't have that said we wouldn't have flown private home no i was gonna going to say, had I known

you were flying home private, like maybe I would have come.

Yeah.

Ben is going to join me today for our final episode of The Toast.

Today is my last day before my

maternity leave begins.

As you guys know, next week we are totally dark, except there will be new episodes dropping on Patreon daily.

So make sure to head over to patreon.com slash the toast.

And then the week after that begins official maternity leave content with Jackie Owen friends.

She'll be in New York and in Florida, hosting, interviewing, the talk of the town, the creme de la creme.

But for today, Ben is subbing in for Jackie.

We're going to do the fast five.

We're obviously doing Queenie and Weenie.

I know you prepared yours, right?

Beat the crunch.

We don't do beat the crunch, but we're going to do it.

No, we do it.

We do it.

Okay.

Okay.

So without further ado, dot do dot do

here

are the fast five stories that you need to know.

Before you take a bite.

Oh, that's not.

We don't do that anymore.

But that's where the beat the.

No, that's not.

We don't do that anymore.

I was letting you do it okay i'll do it again

here are the vast five stories that you need to know

before you take a bite

what are they what are you nuts no this is not the way that we don't do that anymore we don't i know

but the beat the crunch okay so fine do it again no no no i gave you two chances i gave you two chances you didn't beat the crunch today's episode is brought to you by skims which is partially because i am wearing skims maternity pants so skims you know they're known for their bras and underwear they are really the best intimates we've ever owned my top drawer has slowly become all skims over the last couple of years, but specifically these last couple of months, because every bra and underwear that I buy, I immediately grow out of.

So I'm really particular about my intimates these days.

Obviously, my breasts are getting larger.

My needs for underwear are just getting different.

And intimates are really the unsung hero of every single outfit.

Nobody does it like skims.

Obsesses an understatement.

And then every time I like need a new category of stuff and I find out that skims carries it, I'll automatically, like, I just trust them so much.

So when I need a maternity clothes, like these really cute yoga pants, I just went to Skims and automatically bought a bunch of stuff.

Like they have my eternal trust now.

I think why everybody loves Skims is like how versatile they are, especially in terms of sizing.

So if you're looking for a bra, I think they offer like 62 sizes, which is insane.

Most stores like literally offer four.

And everybody knows like finding the right bra is all about finding the right size.

So Skims is going to help you do that.

They're going to really

make you feel comfortable.

I love the Fitz Everybody collection.

Ben calls them my relaxation bras.

They're super stretchy, super comfortable, super supportive.

I can't just like go without a bra these days.

So I need something to wear like inside.

So shop skims and their best intimates, including the the Fits Everybody Collection and more at skims.com.

After you place your order be sure to let them know that we sent you.

Select podcast in the survey.

Be sure to select the toast in the drop down menu that follows.

And that's all you got to do.

Shop Skims.

They also have a new flagship store in New York City, which is kind of pargy.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Vivrelle.

Vivrell is the first of its kind luxury accessories members only club, providing access to borrow designer handbags, jewelry, watches, and diamonds.

So Vivelle members can cheat the Vivelle closet like their own and they can borrow anything within their tier.

Vivrell has no return dates.

Members can swap items once per month, keep items for as long as they'd like.

So I know a lot of you guys do clothing rentals and you guys love it.

And Vivrella is a similar concept where they have like a huge array of like designer bags, designer jewelry, designer accessories, and like actual designers.

Like they have like Chanel bags, proda bags, really sick bags, current bags.

And you can borrow them for however long you like.

I've literally been borrowing a Chanel bag for them for a couple of months.

They have the best bags.

And also, obviously, like Jackie and I love investing in bags, but honestly, you don't want to buy every single bag because one, like who has the money?

Two, who has the space?

And three, sometimes you buy a bag and then like a year later, it's like not cool anymore and you spend all this money and you just feel stupid.

So it's a great way to like test run a bag if you've been thinking about buying it, borrow it from Vuvrel, see if you wear it, see if you like it, take some pictures in it.

And once you take a picture in it, like you really don't need to buy the bag.

So you could just like return it to Vivrell and get something new.

Also, don't sleep on their jewelry.

They literally have like the nicest jewelry.

They carry Van Cleef.

So you guys, those are excellent sponsors.

We've been talking on the toast recently about how, like, obviously I can't breathe when I do the ads.

And everybody's like, Jackie, you should do them to I wouldn't have done them.

The thing is, is I'm too much of a control freak, and Jackie likes to go over the 90-second.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

Then you do the ads on good guys, right?

Yeah, and you know the importance of keeping the time.

The thing is, what you do is much harder.

It's hard to keep the time when you're live.

Of course.

I do them pre-recorded.

So, honestly, if I go to two minutes and 30 seconds, I chop it down to a minute, chop it down, a minute 30.

Um, but all that I'll say quickly, square, wonderful.

Uh, proudly used by Bruce Soffer at his cafe.

He loves it he loves it i um easy peasy i also today i'm choosing the stories and reading the stories so breath work is going to be super important i'll just talk

and also i wanted to let you guys know i currently have four stories okay i have a fifth story you do it's selfish but oh what's for society available nationwide at target yeah

it is and it's friday baby go out there and shop locally wherever you are wherever you wherever your target sells wine people love their coming so is that the first story ben Ben, it's not in New Jersey.

Yeah, because your target doesn't sell wine.

I can't change jurisdiction.

It's wherever it sells wine.

Go on spritzsociety.com, go to the store location.

I can't change jurisdiction, you guys.

I can't, unless you guys, by the way, we can lobby.

Would you say that's one of the most common misconceptions about you?

That I can't change jurisdiction.

That people think you can change jurisdiction, but you can't.

They do.

It's like I can get private planes with seeds.

It's true.

But I can't get changed jurisdiction.

Not yet.

Not yet.

If I wanted to manifest, I'm not wasting my manifestation powers on changing the liquor jurisdiction in New Jersey.

What are you nuts?

Ben, what do you want most in this world?

Oh my, I want a healthy son.

Okay, that's a good answer.

And a loving family forever.

And

just like more of the same.

I'm telling you, like, I really don't want for anything.

I know.

I feel the same way.

And the more that I don't want for anything, BH,

more things come.

So it's like a rabbit.

Sounds like a cheat code.

Sounds like a cheat code.

Pretend you don't want it.

Exactly.

It comes.

Okay, let's dive into our first story, which is about my girl, Taylor Swift.

I i don't know if you've heard but human remains have been found near her oh i heard famous rhode island mansion and it's she did it amid growing fears that there's a new england serial killer

oh i like that take by the way so human remains were discovered down the road from her rhode island mansion amid fears that a new england serial killer i guess like people have been conspiracy theorizing that there's a new serial killer on the loose in that region and on wednesday morning police in westerly watch hill which is like somewhere we need to go um found reports of possible remains and then when officers arrived to the location it's 0.3 miles from swift's home.

They located what appeared to be a human leg bone.

I just want to say, like, this has nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

Nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

The article is, and the headlines are extremely misleading.

People are like, this is so scary for Taylor.

It's seven minutes from her house.

They did a map on page six, which I appreciate.

Do you know how bodies they probably find seven minutes from our house because of Tony Soprano?

Oh, we started watching the Sopranos.

And I don't know if I told you guys that.

I think I did.

I'm just saying.

Their bodies buried everywhere.

That's how I felt watching Yellowstone.

Yeah.

Like how many people they killed.

Their bodies all over the city.

The city.

it's hard to hide bodies in the city their bodies all in the hudson how many bodies do you think are in the hudson they claim oh it's cloudy yeah probably because the mobsters made it cloudy so you can't find art bucco's wife sitting at the bottom of the ocean i don't think there's a lot of bodies in the hudson like if i was a person trying to get rid of a body like i would stay away from new york city yeah but then you learn they they take these weights and they chain them to their ankles and they drop them to the bottom yeah but they don't do that in the hudson bed they do it in like random rivers and shit i think they're in the hudson is like highly trafficked and policed.

That's what they want you to think.

I've never seen police in the Hudson.

Can I just tell you guys, ever since we started watching the Sopranos, which Ben insists on calling the Sopranos?

It is.

Ben's been like acting different.

I could tell like his little man.

I think you're going to start wearing tank tops.

No, no.

Okay, no.

I like that you called them tank tops.

I'm not going to use the other one.

No, we can't.

Insane.

Okay.

It's insane that we still call them that.

The W.

It's also insane to wear them.

Sorry.

Agreed.

But I think like you're slowly, we've only watched like a season and a half.

You are slowly morphing into, you're just like picking up on random like mannerisms and stuff.

I'm gonna come home one day and you're gonna be wearing a tank top.

Little things.

Little things.

Little things.

I love that show so much.

Claudia doesn't love it yet.

She likes it.

I like it.

I'm not like obsessed.

I just love that there is, they're like weirdly Jewish undertones while they're also being anti-Semitic.

I actually don't think that the characters are anti-Semitic.

Okay.

They have that one motel client.

Yeah.

I'm not anti-Semitic, but like they obviously, like, they don't like Jews.

No, that, that guy on the horse farm is like their best friend.

Yeah, Hesh is a good boy.

Hesh.

Whatever.

They use derogatory terms.

That was more what I was saying.

Do they?

They do.

Okay.

They do, but against everybody.

Like that's just like the culture.

But then randomly, like you see Tony Soprano say the word shnara and you're like, what in the world?

Who wrote this?

I like how you just hit a little whistle.

I don't know what that was.

Yeah, your teeth were.

I was going to avoid it.

How did you do that?

I have no idea.

I could never do it again.

That was such a high pitch.

Shnara.

I don't know.

I don't know where it came from, but yeah, Hesh.

Back to Taylor Swift.

Do you think that Taylor Swift is the New England serial killer?

Yes.

No one would suspect her.

No one would suspect her.

She could be like big crime boss Tony.

She isn't the actual killer, but like she has people under her that are doing her dirty work.

And I think, I think, okay, that the person at the bottom of that river was the one who subpoenaed her.

Oh.

Oh, it was the one who knocked on her door and gave her

the filing.

Yes.

That's a good theory.

You think it's connected to the Blake Lively drama?

It is.

Well, people are like doing everything they can to blame everything that's wrong in this world on Blake Lively.

So maybe Blake Lively is the serial killer.

Maybe it's Blake.

Love that.

Wow.

People are upset, like, how are like fanatical about serial killers?

This is like exciting for them.

It doesn't do it for me.

By the way, there's nothing cool about serial killers.

I couldn't agree more.

Like, can you back the fuck off and stop killing people?

Right.

Like, it's not cool.

It's not cool at all.

Like, that was my friend.

No.

You know?

And she's dead.

Yeah.

Or nothing.

We don't know if this was a man or a woman.

I just want to say, like, they're using Taylor Swift to get people to care about this story, but in actuality, it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

No.

They'll do anything to put her name in the headline.

One does.

This is the problem with the news, okay?

Okay, Randy.

Was this like a click-out article?

No, it was like a regular page six article.

Okay.

And I saw it everywhere.

Also, shout out page six.

Okay.

Good peeps.

I think so.

But I'm just saying, like, the problem is that, like, you, you'll see this e-news, uh, Justin Bell Doni, blah, blah, blah.

Click here to learn more.

You click, they get paid, and it's a whole bunch of nothing.

Yeah, it's a whole bunch of nothing.

And that's the problem with media and bureaucracy.

This is what I'm saying.

The pay-per-click is destroying media.

The pay-per-click?

Pay per click.

Oh, the pay per clip.

Pay per click.

We also, we have to watch a final two episodes.

Can we talk really quickly?

Paul American.

I'm Paul American.

And about how my healer, Yiska, was on the most recent episode.

Paul American is a fantastic show.

And if you're not watching it,

even if you're a hater, you'll still like it.

Yes.

And you'll be turned.

Like, you're probably like hating Jake Paul because of what you see.

And then you watch it and you realize, like...

He's not what you, he's not what you think he is.

He's a healed man.

Yes, he's very deep and emotional and healed.

I think that's the perfect word.

It's also like very like, there's like a little bit of like some Gen z undertones like with this like mental health yes like he really he's come a long way a thousand percent and then you have just like great family drama that it's they're the perfect family for reality tv because you can just tell they're leaving nothing nothing on the table yeah nothing okay but what did you think of seeing iska did you see the clip of her I didn't see the clip of her because we haven't seen that episode.

No, but I showed you the clip that Beatrice did.

You did, yeah.

And what did you make of it?

No.

Because you love, when my healer came over, obviously you tried to poach my healer.

First of all, she's so nice.

She would be a great healer for me.

Okay.

Second of all, she loved, she just kept complimenting my chopping skills.

She's like, oh, you're such a good one.

Ben was cooking me dinner while she was working on me.

And she was impressed.

And she had to keep leaving the room so I could like change or whatever.

And so.

This kid just also had great energy.

I completely agree.

The second I opened the door.

She's a lovely woman.

I knew we were going to love her.

And then when I was like, she left the bedroom.

To let me change and I heard you guys chatting.

I'm like, oh, he's trying to poach my healer.

No, I need her because she also does massage, right?

Like isn't it?

Well, but it's all prenatal.

She does like prenatal massage, prenatal acupuncture.

We'll work through it.

She's a doula.

We'll work through it.

Are you jealous of like the healing journey that I've gone on in this last couple of months?

No, no, I'm just happy that you have taken to the East.

Right.

I'm happy that you have come to my side of things.

As you guys know, the side of the Eastern medicine.

Ben is very much East, West, Central.

No, I'm East.

Okay, you're fake East.

I'm East these days.

Why am I fake East?

You know what, actually, I have noticed, I meant to bring this up to you.

So many people, when they get pregnant, they have to quit things that they love, whether it's like alcohol or like turkey.

For me, there really hasn't been because a lot of, like, I don't miss alcohol.

And although it did dawn on me yesterday, like I'm getting really close to being able to have a cocktail, like, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.

But a lot of people struggle with like no sushi, no deli meat, and none of that stuff like I would eat normally.

So I haven't had that.

Where was I going with this story?

I'm not sure.

Wait, what were we talking about before?

We were talking about my Eastern medicine journey.

Oh, but something I actually really have struggled with is the inability to take Advil because I lived a life before this, like run on Advil.

I was fueled by Advil.

And I've noticed you've taken a lot less Advil too.

A part of your like, you're being obsessed with me and copying everything I do.

I don't take any Advil.

Let me tell you, again, we were talking about heartburn.

When you're fat, you need Advil.

Like it's really, really hard.

Like you're definitely true.

Your head hurts more because you're eating shit.

You're so swollen.

Let me tell you the things, okay, that have made me less swollen.

Okay.

I can't wait to hear this.

I love turmeric, but if you take too much of it, it makes you itchy.

You just have to be careful.

I've overdosed on turmeric and you just, all you got to do, take, don't take turmeric for a couple of days and then you jump back in.

Before you give any medical advice, it's just important that everybody knows Ben has no idea what he's talking about.

All of his research is from TikTok.

I do.

The next one, this one, everybody should be taking oil of oregano.

Every day?

I thought only when you're sick.

Every single day to make sure that your sinuses stay clear.

I've gotten significantly less sinus infection since I started my healthy regimen.

Also, every day I start with AG1.

It's shurban luxury.

I drink it every single morning and I love, love, love it.

And you stop taking creatine because you realize it's meant to be, it's meant to be taken in tandem with going to the gym.

I was going to say, the problem is that I am not going to the gym.

Right.

Once I go to the gym, creatine is great.

But right now, yeah, I'm off it.

I mean, we got really far from Taylor Swift's human beings.

Wait, but what else am I taking in the morning?

Turmeric.

Dose?

No, that's just turmeric.

I took a dose.

I'm itchy.

I'm like, why am I itchy?

It's because I had a thousand milligrams of turmeric because I had my 500 milligrams and then dose my oil of oregano.

What other fun thing am I doing?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Lion's mane.

Lion's mane, take it every day.

It repairs the brain cells.

I'm so much more alert.

Have you noticed?

I'm more alert.

I've noticed you're more annoying.

My brain, mouth, brain, mouth is firing because of the lion's mane.

That's really great.

And lastly, shout out Gaia Herbs.

Okay, we really need to move on because I can't tell you how uninteresting it is.

But if you do want to hear me complaining about Ben's supplement intake, you can listen to my episode of your podcast, which we just recorded with Josh and his wife, who's also pregnant, Paige.

Yes.

And we talk extensively.

And I just feel like this is not the platform for you to be like shilling your herbs.

Please.

Yeah, understood.

And

way to make my Yiska story about yourself.

That said, you can go to bensoffersherbs.com.

Is that in your, is that a dream of yours?

To own an herb manufacturing company and sell them?

Or sure.

It's like a really easy way to get sued.

I'm going to be hocking herbs.

You'll be ending up on an episode of.

I'm going to be like one of those, you know that 95-year-old woman that like sits at her Her board and like writes like about all the herbs.

Do you know her?

No, I don't.

It's me.

Have you been following the Diddy trial?

It's ongoing.

I have.

And I saw yesterday somebody said that his penis was a size of its urologue.

Oh, I saw that too.

That's a terrible headline.

That's not, by the way, it's not even the worst headline to come out of it.

Cassie, do you know who that is?

Like his long-term partner.

Yes.

She testified, which she had sued him long after she left him and got $30 million, but of course had to sign like an NDA in a civil suit.

But because this is a federal trial, this is like my favorite fun fact about the trial um the feds don't give a fuck if you signed an NDA like if you're subpoenaed to testify so she got her 30 mil and she got to speak her truth wow and she's eight months pregnant good for her but Ben like the things that she was detailing that she went through like he was him forcing male prostitutes to pee in her mouth oh I did see that really fucking disgusting but there's been a lot of chatter about the um diddy trial as it pertains to Justin Bieber A lot of people we talked about this yesterday briefly on the toast it's all alleged but a lot of people just assume that like you know he's having this sort of like public breakdown right now and it started around the same time as the diddy trial and given justin's age at the time and they're just there is like theories that justin is some sort of victim in all of this diddy diddiness but justin bieber has broken a silence on sean combs as the rap mogul faces sex trafficking trial justin bieber is not a victim of his former friend sean diddy combs So although Justin is not among Sean's victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him, the Peaches Krooner representative told page six, shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice that these victims rightfully deserve.

So basically just saying,

Diddy did that, but not to me.

I don't, do you want to talk about Diddy or do you want to talk about Justin?

Listen, I'm, what am I, a Nazi?

Talk about what you want.

No, you literally, you told me before that I was going off on a rant.

So I want to talk about it.

I want to stay close.

You were talking about Ernst, but we were talking about Taylor's rift.

I just want to stay close.

I want you to talk about your feelings.

Okay, well, I think that every single time I see a Justin Bieber headline that like something's wrong, I don't think anything's wrong.

Jackie and I talk about that extensively.

I could be.

Is something wrong with Justin Bieber?

Why not?

I think that the media loves talking about Justin Bieber because he's incredibly famous, incredibly cool.

I think that he's living his life.

And I think that he fucking hates the media.

He's so public about how much he hates the paparazzi.

And all that he loves.

I think he loves seeing headlines that people think that there's something wrong with him.

Because it lets him know that he has power.

You know what I mean?

But have you seen some of the recent footage?

Like what they're reporting on, like him at

Coachella, like obviously with some like drug drug paraphernalia great he can't go to coachella and be on drugs like everybody else in the in the world i mean he has a baby but yeah i know but he's also 30 like he's not like he's or even younger i don't know how old he is i think the craziest party kid at coachella like of this particular story is that not that justin is denying being a victim but he's basically saying there were people who were genuinely harmed by him like even though that that's his former friend he's not team diddy

Who could be Team Diddy?

Well, his kids are.

They're like at the courthouse every day, which is really crazy.

Maybe they had, maybe they're getting a lot of money.

Not shockingly, the artist formerly known as Kanye West is a big Diddy supporter.

That makes sense.

Yes.

But I feel like it's like the first time a celebrity has publicly been tied to Diddy and then also spoken out against him because there's a million pictures of like celebrities.

A lot of like innocent celebrities attended Diddy's parties, not knowing that like downstairs were these freak offs where people were being like trafficked and abused.

Upstairs, it was just like a cool celebrity party.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So a lot of people get like tied.

They like they post pictures of like you know diddy and ashton kutcher they're like look he knew and i think most of the time it's just like celebrities you know as a celebrity yourself like you take a picture with someone it's i mean i can't wait until they see the pictures of me and diddy no

there are none

not funny not funny did you see will smith he said something he's like

he's just like i I have nothing to do with any of this.

It's the same thing because Will Smith probably went to a lot of parties.

But yeah, the thing is, if I'm a celebrity, like I don't want to even be remotely.

And the fact that there are a lot of celebrities who are being publicly tied to Diddy and are not saying something, that definitely gives me pause.

Cause if my ass had a picture and I would be, I would hop on my podcast and be like, oh my God, I did not know this man.

I went to a lunch and somebody asked me to take a photo.

Like thousands percent.

The fact that there aren't more people doing what Will Smith did, like immediately coming to me like, no, not, not my friend.

I know.

It's a little suspicious.

It is.

You know?

I think they also just like don't want to awake a lying beast.

Right.

Then like the internet comes after you and like finds everything you've ever done.

I've been touching my eye.

It's been having an eye problem.

And you feel the need to complain about it on the toast?

Just like sharing because I've touched my eye a couple of times.

I'm going to wake up with pink eye.

Oh my God.

I'm fine.

I found it on your pillow.

You did?

Yeah.

Again?

Yeah.

Okay.

It was Romeo, actually.

Okay.

No, I'm fine.

Like, if my eyes look red, I'm fine.

It's just Ben being like sympathy pregnant.

Yeah.

My eyes hurt too.

Do they?

No.

Okay.

So I'll just say it.

Next story.

A little bit of gender identity news, which I know is some of your favorite news.

Lorde is clearing up her gender identity.

Okay, thank God.

You know who Lorde is?

I do.

I didn't know that she was having a gender identity crisis.

Well, you know, she recently popped back onto the scene to promote her music and she did this like thing in Washington Square Park.

And I was like, oh, she looks androgynous.

And I was like, okay, just noted.

And then she went to the Met Gala and she wore like a blazer or whatever.

And somebody asked her, she's like, I feel like this is like really representative of my new gender identity when like I feel like a man, but also a woman.

And everyone's like, excuse me, can you clarify?

And she is clarifying, sort of, saying, I'm a woman, except for the days days when I'm a man.

By the way, I feel that.

So she did an in-depth Rolling Stone interview where I've seen like a couple of the things like poll quotes.

She seems fucking insufferable, I have to say, but this one obviously caught my eye because it's a very interesting way to say like gender identity.

So she said, some days I'm a woman, some days I'm a man.

That's a lyric on an upcoming song of hers.

And of course, the interviewer had questions about it.

So

the interviewer was Chappell Roan.

Sorry, that's an important thing so chapel roan i asked her how

i keep on dancing down in west hollywood okay well that i actually chose this story because i wanted to ask you a question like you know you're a man but there are there days when you feel like a woman and you vigor doubtfire dear and i was gonna say i actually feel like you feel most like a woman when chapel roan comes on i love her yeah ben loves her

Oh,

look what you've done.

You're a big pony.

That's enough.

That's enough.

That's my job.

By the way, how good My voice is getting just better and better.

I'm a woman, but there are days where I feel like a man.

And I would say some of those days include when there's any sort of job or project that needs to get done in the house that requires like nails and a hammer.

Okay.

The job that I did moving the bar is, you can no longer say that you're the only person who fixes things.

I risked my life.

I have to give you credit.

For that final project.

In the last couple of months, obviously, like I made, I talked about this on my Instagram.

I made this huge list of home projects I wanted to accomplish before the baby got here, just like reorganizing, making space.

We obviously had to move a ton of furniture around.

And one of the last remaining things was we needed to swap out this desk and move our bar somewhere.

We just didn't know where the bar was going to go.

So, we spent the last couple of weeks just like coming up with a place for the bar.

We couldn't find a place for it.

So, we decided to leave it on.

We have two balconies and we don't use one of them.

So, we're like, okay, the balcony should become storage space.

So, Ben decided to do this completely on his own while I was at work, like not asked anyone in the building for help.

Picked up our 10,000-pound bar, brought it outside, went to Home Depot, wrapped it up in a tarp.

I did it.

It looks like there's a dead body on our balcony.

I did it perfectly.

I went in depth on this story, so I won't do that on a recent episode of Good Guys.

Okay, okay.

But all that you need to know is that I almost actually died.

Okay.

I moved a 10,000-pound bar.

Of course, I removed.

Everybody's going to say, you move out of the liquor.

Yeah, everything out of the liquid.

I'm an idiot.

We took everything out.

Took everything out, moved it, but there's a big step and I like had to like jimmy it over and all the weight is on me and my back's pressed against the balcony.

I almost, I almost fully, I almost fully died with this final project.

Shout out Home Depot.

Found a weatherproof.

Everybody wanted to know.

Was it weatherproof, Ben?

Yes, a weatherproof tarp had snow on it, had heat on it.

I put it on the bottom, put it on the top, taped it up.

Shout out Gorilla Tape.

This is fantastic tape.

Fantastic.

Taped the tarp and it's, yes, it does look like a dead body, but it's out there.

It's no longer our problem.

And I have to tell you this was like a the biggest project on my list that weighed so heavily because i'm like i can't move this furniture that's been the hardest part of pregnancy like how many times have you come home and i'm moving furniture you know i i don't mind like being you know sweat equity but the fact that like i have all these projects i can't physically do has been pissing me off and i have to wait for this slow ass like so you know what and this i was so grateful when you did it the sweeper's been sweeping you've become the sweeper's final boss of sweeping do you think so yes i'm worse than i was before yes significantly i don't know if i agree with that significantly Most people wouldn't consider moving a bar an essential

project, pre-baby, when it's not in their room and has nothing to do with them.

But you're not going to have time.

We're not going to have time.

We didn't need to have time.

We're not going to have time.

We didn't need to do it.

We're not going to have time.

How much better does it look?

Much.

You're welcome.

Would it have been worth it if you found me on the ground?

I'm just saying.

20 stories down.

20 stories down.

No, it wouldn't have been better.

Thank God.

That would have been very sad.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm cracking it up.

Back to Lord.

Okay.

So some days she's a woman, some days she's a man.

All I have to say is like when I'm cooking, I feel like a woman.

You do.

Yeah.

I'm very Aina.

Like I'm thinking about Aina.

Your channel.

Manifesting Aina.

Your domestic side.

And you are Jeffrey.

Yes.

No, there are definitely times where I feel like a man.

Yeah.

You're Jeffrey.

I don't think that's necessarily what Lord was saying.

I don't know what the fuck Lord was saying.

Me neither.

And I don't recommend reading this interview.

It seems like just two insufferable bitches chatting it up, like Lorde and Chapel.

Because I know you love chap and her music is amazing, but like on a personal level, she's dreadful.

No, I love Chapel Rhone's music.

You just like that one song.

What's another song?

I don't care.

Chap.

So all is that to say, Lorde is a woman, except on the days where she's a man.

Okay.

And it's as simple and as complicated as that.

I'm going to...

Up to her.

Up to her.

That's beautiful.

I wish her well.

I'm going to let everyone know that today's episode is very appropriately brought to you by Huggies.

It's the only leading brand with all-around blowout protection for sizes one and two.

Do you know what a blowout is?

No.

You don't?

Is that when, okay, I have two ideas of what a blowout could be.

One is when there's an enormous, enormous shit.

Yeah.

And two is when.

Oh, yeah, no, that's exactly what it is.

It must just like have a large coverage zone.

Yeah, and it, like, a blowout, like, goes outside of the confines of the diaper.

It goes up your back, down the leg.

It's a real, as Jackie, Jackie says, it's like the most annoying thing that can happen.

You have to change clothes, you have to give them a bath.

And Huggies is the only leading brand with all-around blowout protection for sizes one and two.

So parents out there know there's really nothing worse than a blowout.

I can't personally say I've had an experience with one.

We had experiences with blowouts.

When we had notavirus.

Oh, yes.

Okay, ready for our fourth story that I feel might be our fifth because I couldn't find one, but I'll look again.

No, it's our fifth.

Our first is that Spirit Society is now available nationwide at Target.

Oh, right.

How can I forget?

How interesting.

Okay.

This one is like a little internet news.

Tommy Lee, who I'm sure everyone knows from Pam and Tommy, drummer for, what was the band, Molly Crew?

Molly Crew.

Yeah.

One of the most interesting facts about him is that like a couple of years ago, he got married to Brittany Furland, who was like a OG vine creator.

And they've like, low-key been just like doing their, their thing, like living their life, being married.

They're getting divorced.

Love is dead.

Sorry.

It happens.

They've been married for six years.

They've reportedly called to quits after six years.

They've been living separately for two weeks.

That's short.

It's also short for

people to have news on it.

No, but it's like short to like, I feel like in a marriage, you get separated.

Like it takes a long time for a marriage to officially.

Just because you were living apart for two weeks doesn't mean that like maybe they weren't sleeping in separate beds for six months.

You never know.

Yeah, they say that his drinking is at the center of the split.

And that he's unwilling to get sober.

I guess that would be a reason.

Like, well, you can't wait around.

I'm sorry.

Despite them no longer staying under the same roof together, the pair remains in contact.

The source shared, it's unclear whether either party plans to file at this time, but they're just like separated.

And I think people were onto this.

If you've been following this couple, he's 62, she's 38.

He unfollowed Britney on Instagram, which is like such a crazy thing to do to your wife.

No, also like in your 60s.

Right.

That's the first thing you do.

Well, no, like he's digital now because of her.

You know what I'm saying?

That's really digital.

I completely agree.

Like, like that's i don't even do that i don't even know who i follow i have to do that you do have to unfollow some people you follow like you follow so many people i'm always going through my because sometimes i'll scroll through my instagram i'm like who are these losers like i find so i find my own feed so uninteresting yeah no i don't use my feed you don't no has your instagram updated to the new layout It has.

Yeah.

It's not good.

Oh my gosh.

With the swiping through.

With the swiping.

How many times do you actually end up on Reels?

A lot.

And it's probably because I send you the freakiest content.

You do.

But I get served like actual circus freaks on Reels.

Like, you do.

When I go scrolling through TikTok, I see all different types of content: beauty, lifestyle, health, wellness, comedy.

Reels, it's just circus freaks.

By the way, that is like derogatory towards the circus.

The things you send me, she will send me like honestly, the fattest people on earth.

And they're like picking their belly buttons and lifting up their stomachs and showing you their penises.

Like, it's literally, you guys don't understand what I, and Reels is not regulated.

Like, there's so much pornography.

You exclusively exclusively have 1,200-pound nudity.

Let me tell you why.

I'll tell you why.

I get freaky things because Brian, Kelly, sends me the freakiest reels.

So I always open them and then he infiltrated my algorithm.

He's like always messing with me.

Got it.

So you, yeah.

So he did to me what I'm doing to you.

Got it.

That's why your algorithm is broken.

And mine is not fully broken.

I follow a lot of food creators.

My favorite content to consume by far, recipe videos.

Who's your like inspiration online?

My inspiration online.

Who do you think is doing the best work online right now?

Oh, God.

That's so tough.

I always think the Wishbone Kitchen has unbelievable.

We get it.

You're in love with Wishbone Kitchen.

I also love my friend Salt Hank.

He makes great, great videos, like food, porn.

Like, I love that stuff.

But Kevin, Kevin from TikTok.

Kevin.

Yes, my friend.

Kevin, he just found out that his stage four cancer is no longer.

Oh, the sorority guy.

The sorority guy.

He cooks like mass amounts of food because he cooks for a sorority house.

He like lives in a a sorority house.

Just look up Kevin cooking.

I don't even know his last name.

He's probably like 50s, maybe a 50-year-old guy.

And he basically makes like all the meals for all the girls who live in a sorority house.

It's like 75 girls.

His food looks so good.

And

there's a girl in his sorority.

Her name is Larissa, and she has an account called Larissa's Reviews.

So he puts out food and then she reviews it.

It's genius.

It is synergy.

Synergy.

And then he went through a personal like sort of challenge where he was diagnosed with her.

He was having cancer.

And so he'd give these like periodic updates.

And he seems to be cancer-free right now.

Thank God we're rooting for Kevin.

That's so great.

We're rooting for Kevin, but yeah, he's great.

Love him.

Somebody should sponsor him.

I haven't seen one sponsored video for Kevin.

Somebody needs to reach out to Kevin.

I think you should reach out and be his representation.

I need to reach out to Kevin.

You do.

I think that he just does it for the love of the game.

I think so too.

Loves it.

Let's dive into our final segment of the week before we head out on maternity leave, which is Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is something we do every week on Friday to sort of wrap up, you know, take a look at the week at a glance.

Certainly.

We give out two awards, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week.

And it's exactly as it sounds.

Who was a queenie this week and who was a weenie this week?

It could be a person, it could be a place or a thing.

Now, Jackie always likes to start with queenie, you know, be positive, but I'm negative like that.

So let's start with weenie.

What's your weenie of the week?

My weenie of the week is Starbucks.

Wow.

Okay.

Let me explain.

You've been seeing me sipping my Duncan iced tea.

Iced tea.

Iced coffee.

A Dunkin' iced coffee.

Let me explain.

I've loved Starbucks for a very, very, very long time.

Ben has woken up every day for the last two years, walked to Starbucks.

He literally comes into the room.

He says, you want anything from the Bucks?

I don't.

He is so loyal to this one barista specifically.

Correct.

His name is Rodney.

He's my guy.

I highly recommend you tip your baristas or baristos because they work really hard.

And the second that you tip them, you're going to get your coffee faster also.

Like, it's like the world works like in miraculous ways with karma.

I loved Starbucks because their mobile ordering is supreme.

If I go to an airport, I'll still only get Starbucks because I can literally order it in my Uber to the airport.

And when I get there, whatever.

That said, they've been brainwashing us, folks.

I had to switch to putting chai shots in my iced coffee and pretending that I like it because they just said, oh, we don't have sugar-free hazelnut one day.

And it never came back.

They only have sugar-free vanilla.

And they made me think, because Starbucks is so big, I'm like, oh, if Starbucks doesn't have sugar-free hazelnut, there must be a worldwide shortage.

Ah, no.

I went to Dunkin' Donuts, ordered an iced coffee, sugar-free hazelnut.

It's delicious.

They have sugar-free hazelnut.

Let me also tell you.

Do you think there's a part of the story that you're missing?

What?

What part of the story am I missing?

You just walked into Dunkin' Donuts.

Okay, Claudia recommended that I try it.

Okay.

Yeah, whatever.

Like, always when you make you.

Like, I don't even understand.

And let me also tell you.

Dunkin' Donuts, this is the heart of New York.

Real New Yorkers drink Dunkin'.

Cause you walk in there, there's a cop.

Yes.

There's always a cop.

This is the home of cops.

You've never seen a cop.

But they like the donuts, but yeah.

You've still never seen a cop.

Stereotypes.

You've never, ever, ever seen a cop in Starbucks.

I completely agree.

Transplants and like Starbucks is so elitist.

I hate Starbucks.

I'm always telling you that it's crap.

Support the support?

Support the boys in blue.

Go to Duncan.

No, real New Yorkers.

Like, you're right.

You walk in there.

This is New York.

It's true.

What commercial is that?

I feel like it's the car service commercial.

Like,

when you walk into

a Dunkin' Donuts, it's literally like, you know, people on their way to work, like hardcore, real hardworking New Yorkers who America runs on Duncan.

America runs on.

This isn't an ad, but I'm so glad you've had a change of heart.

I didn't even know.

I've had a change of heart.

And while it's not an ad, like, come on, Duncan.

Come on.

This is, this is nice.

I'd say, I haven't had enough munchkins in my pregnancy.

Yeah.

Duncan.

Fantastic.

I fucking love a munchkin.

Fantastic.

So, yeah, my leaning of the week is Starbucks because they convinced me that Sugar-Free Hazelnut was sold out worldwide when in reality, I think that they just like

it.

You said that like you were pretending.

And I think there's actually a lot of pretending with Starbucks.

Like people just like the cups and the colors and the branding and they're just pretending.

And the convenience.

The mobile app is completely revolutionary.

I agree.

I agree.

The mobile app is revolutionary.

I agree.

Every day I wake up, do it.

I just feel like, I feel like Dunga Donuts and these other places like also have apps that also work.

You just don't download them.

Maybe.

You think there's mobile?

What's proprietary about you think that there's mobile pickups?

I don't know.

They have like those kiosks now at McDonald's.

Like, why wouldn't they?

I'm going to look into it.

Just an idea.

Okay.

My weenie of the week is HBO Max.

I don't know if you heard.

They're rewarding on their rebrand.

Oh, I did.

Jackie was being so funny on the toast yesterday.

And you know what?

She was 100% right.

Like, imagine being a billion-dollar company and dropping the ball so hard.

Like, it's actually embarrassing.

It is.

It's weenie-like behavior.

It's completely insane to have worked so hard to build that amount of brand equity.

When you see HBO, because we're watching the Sopranos now, when you get that,

you're like oh this is gonna be a really great show can i ask you a question i saw somebody say this once on twitter when you hear the hum

what theme song starts playing in your mind curb oh for me it's done dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun i rest my case sopranos game of thrones curb your enthusiasm no but like the best tv was made by hbo who is max literally who is max maddie's husband

like my makatinim sister husband yeah

It's not a streaming sister.

No, who is Max in this world?

Max isn't.

It's HBO.

Completely agree.

If anything, drop the Max.

It's just HBO.

1000%.

What is Max doing there?

I don't know.

You sound like Jerry Seinfeld.

Yeah.

What are Max doing there?

What is Max doing there?

I'll tell you what Max is doing there, being Weenie of the Week.

Weenie.

Max is a weenie.

Queenie.

I'm going to go first.

I've been probably my queenie all week, actually.

You do it.

And I'm really excited that you're here.

I really hope you don't have mine.

My queen.

No, unless, did you make yourself queenie of the week?

No.

You are my queenie of the week.

So I thought this would be a great way to wrap up the show.

I wanted to, because I clout on Ben like all the time on this podcast, on my Instagram, on his podcast, pretty much any public forum that I can get on.

But I would be remiss.

I would be devastated.

I would even be heartbroken if I didn't spend the next two minutes publicly declaring how fabulous of a husband.

you have been

always in our entire pregnancy.

I mean, in our entire marriage.

But from the moment I found out I'm pregnant, let me tell you, this man has not let me cooked my own meal, lifted a finger.

I know that if you could take on even an eighth of this burden physically, you would do it.

Like you are so, we have, and I know it hasn't been like, you know, a dream for you, but like I have loved this,

I haven't loved this time.

I can't lie.

I haven't loved being pregnant, but I have loved spending this time with you.

I feel like we are closer than ever.

I feel like I know you better than ever.

I know without a shadow of a doubt, you're going to be the best dad.

I'm like not even worried, but you so deserve Queenie because you've just made this as comfortable as possible.

Never missed an appointment and like just

feel like you made me laugh.

Like you have been just so fucking fabulous.

There's only so much a husband can do in pregnancy, right?

And let me tell you, they could write books about what Ben Soffer Celebrity has done for me.

Like I clown on you and we joke, but I just have to tell you, I love you so much.

Oh, I love you, Michael.

I appreciate you so much.

This is so unexpected.

I couldn't have done it without you.

And I love you.

I love you.

Thank you.

Queenie.

You've been a queen too.

Of course.

Yes.

I have.

You've handled this.

Like a champ.

No, and I'm so thin I barely gained any weight.

Like, it's insane.

Like a champ.

Agreed.

I love you.

Thank you.

That was very sweet.

Who's your queenie?

And all that I have to say is, like, now looking at it, like, some husbands need to do a little bit better.

Do you feel judgmental?

It's not judgmental.

I feel sad.

I feel really sad that like there are guys out there that are

so

deadbeaten.

They don't even realize it.

Like, like, give a shred of a shit.

Help.

Yeah, whatever.

Okay, my queenie.

Sorry, it's not you.

It's okay.

Because it's of the week.

Yeah, of course.

Queenie of my life is you.

My queenie of the week, no question is Timothy Chalamet.

Wow, not Jalen Brunson.

No.

I thought you were going to say the Brunson boys.

Timothy Chalamay has stepped into a role that we desperately needed to fill as the number one public Knicks fan.

Okay.

This guy is going to every game, sitting courtside, bringing the Kardashians, traveling, going to Boston, wearing cool outfits he is it and Spike Lee I'm sorry you're done wow you think spike lee replacing

it was a crazy week spikely missed one nickname because of the Met Gala and he was replaced Wow nobody is talking about Spike Lee as the nick is like the number one Knick fan anymore it's now they're saying some some people are saying Ben Stiller it's Timothy it's not Ben Stiller it's Timothy Chalamay I agree And all that I have to say is that he is, once Kylie is wearing a Knicks hat, the Knicks are slowly moving into like really fucking cool cool terror no more clowning okay wearing Knicks stuff I've been doing it for 33 years we've been losers big time we've been losers yeah we're not losers we're fucking awesome definitely has something to do with Jalen Brunson and the team but Timothy Chalamay is helping is helping he's helping our PR do you want to make an official prediction score wise you think the Knicks are gonna win tonight yes or no the Knicks are gonna win tonight because I can't because I can't fathom them losing this series after they were up 3-1 and if they lose tonight there is is no doubt in my mind that they lose game seven.

No, of course.

If they lose tonight, then it's over.

They are going to win tonight.

Also, the player, like the best player for the other team, is there.

Like, there's literally no reason that they should lose.

I know, but the Celtics really are like a team.

Yeah, they're great.

Like, even without Jason Tatum, they're still great.

Yeah, but he's really good.

He's really good.

I think that the Knicks are going to win 109,

102.

It's going to be slightly lower scoring than everybody expects.

109, 102, Nicks.

Shit, I'm changing it.

I'm changing it.

119, 112.

Okay, I like it.

119, 112, Nicks.

You heard it here first.

Jalen Brunson is going to have 40 points, and the Knicks are going to win.

What do you think?

I hope.

I'm with you.

I'm with BSC.

And also just like, look for us.

Like, we're not celebrity rubber, but we're pretty fucking close.

Yeah, like maybe if you see me on TV, take a picture.

Unless I look fat.

Snap a pick.

So that is that on my final episode before maternity leave.

Um, I just want to say I'm gonna miss you all so much.

I hope you're not gonna miss me too much.

I'm

they are.

No, I'm um, I'm really excited.

Like, I can't wait to see what sort of podcaster I become after this, you know.

I think that you're gonna come back with a fresh perspective, uh-huh, and unique POV, unique POV.
