Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the chose and happy Monday, girly swirlies, entering Gargie Pargi fall.

Hey, Jax, how you doing?

I'm dern good.

And you're right about that, Turdy, because we are technically entering fall this week as we rev up to September 21st like technically it's still summer even though it's so not it's a weird time of year and like I I want to meet the man I do feel like the astronomers got this one wrong yeah I want to meet the man who like created labor day and decided that was gonna be the very last day of summer because we seriously have three weeks after and how we all as a society let the like the government take away three weeks of summer from us so true we're being robbed we're being robbed and we're so happy about it we're like summer summer and then we all we all get back to work and we're like we need fall to start We we need, why?

It's literally still summer vacation.

No, it's just a coping mechanism to cope with the three weeks that we're taking.

It's a coping mechanism.

How are you doing, Turtleoo?

I mean, you know that there's something like really major going on in my life right now.

I am sorry, we're recording about 30 minutes late.

I

feel happy, obviously, like about finally receiving a diagnosis for my tushi.

I feel scared at, you know, the possibility that this is a lifelong thing I've developed.

And let me just grab my phone because I obviously forgot what it was called.

Yeah.

You've been diagnosed.

I've been diagnosed.

And I knew it was my coccyx.

I knew it was my coccyx.

And it's coccydinia.

Ugh, not coccidinia.

And I just really want everyone to respect my privacy at this time.

I need to know what coccydinia entails.

Like, I want the actual

coccynia.

I also looked up like a definition of it and then the doctor also told me about it.

And I feel like they weren't really...

It didn't represent.

Do you think you got a misdiagnosis?

No, because it's exactly what it is.

Like I have coccidinia, but I don't know.

It feels like everybody's sort of clowning on coccidinia and not taking it seriously when they don't understand the pain that I am in and the pain that I have been in.

Well, I'm Googling it and already the erasure of coxidinia is there because everything comes up as coxsaki, which is hand, foot, and mouth.

No, I don't have coxsaki.

I'm so glad I did.

No, like I searched coxidenia and it says showing results for coxsaki.

Oh my God, once again the coccydidinia community is being silenced they might need a voice like yours i wanna

i don't even know whether to be happy like there really are no treatment options like you can get steroids injected into your bones like i'm not doing that okay like i'll just sell what is coccydidnia it is a sensitivity of your coccyx which is your bone like that's literally like your tail it's by the way it's pelvic floor they did say like pelvic floor exercises like can help but for a lot of people it remedies itself on its remedies itself on its wait yeah on its own yeah remedies itself on its own

that's a weird sentence um remedies itself that has not been the case for me it's been how long have I been complaining about my tissue I feel like we're going on a year I feel like it really revved up in the spring

of what year of this year yeah so like hard six months yeah of tissue complaints that's what I think I think we have all been to a place where like we get misdiagnosed and to have a diagnosis is really

it's empowering and I'm happy to be the face of coccidinia and if there's a pharmaceutical company out there that's looking for a face for their coccidinia medication although there is none therein lies the issue i am happy to like jog in a field on a commercial I'm sorry like not to I support you you know you were I could by the way I could tell in the group checks this morning you like weren't happy for me when I got my and you really haven't been there you really haven't been there for me during my coccidynia journey I feel like you won't let me be there for you you're pushing me away

you're kind of like just getting into your coccyndynia community and you don't want to talk to people who don't have it.

It's hard to talk to people who can't relate.

Yeah, it's hard to talk to people who don't relate.

And not only that, who I know like think that I'm being hypochondriac and dramatic.

That's not what I was going to say.

And I'm jealous because you don't have a diagnosis for your tissue problem.

No, and if it requires me like making an appointment and going to the doctor like you did, like I'll just, I'm sat here with my painful tissue.

But I do know we don't have the same thing.

So like you're on your own journey.

And again, if you just let me say what I was going to say, I feel like coccytinia sounds like like genovia, like

a fake place, a fake disease, but like a really good effort at naming it.

By it, like I said, you haven't been there for me in my coccynia journey from the second I've been diagnosed.

And look, like she's not even trying to hide it.

She's so jealous, you guys.

Well, no, I am here for you.

Whatever you want to do, if you want to stand while we do the toast and it would literally look like a debate.

I love it.

If we need to get like walking desks, like whatever the doctor says, I'm right there with you.

And I will, I'll stand in solitude.

Literally.

He, he didn't really give me a treatment plan, which was annoying because I thought I was going to go into the doctor's office today and like come out healed.

He said like the next step would be an MRI.

And I just feel like that's really crazy.

Like,

like I'm all for, you know, the bit, but having an MRI for my tushi problems, like, I think that's crazy.

I think it's too far.

Yeah, like me, like, me and my coccydinia, we walk alone.

Yeah, until, like, unless things get much worse.

I feel like at the level you're at now, like you're, now you're managing your pain, like you're being so strong.

So strong.

And let's see what happens.

You don't always have to like make a decision immediately.

No, no, it's so true.

So I just want to thank everyone who's been there for me during my coccidinia journey thus far.

Not you, but everyone else.

Like me.

Because you won't let me be.

You want me to not be there for you.

Margo's really been there for me.

You're just pushing everyone away.

And to want, you want to go through it on your own.

You want to know why it's because you don't want to burden anyone.

To my coccidinia swirlies, like this invisible illness will not stop us, okay?

It won't.

And neither will the jealousy of our peers.

I'm here for you, Claudia.

I don't know how many more times I have to tell you.

Well, it's one thing to say it, and it's another thing to act it out.

I said I would stand for you.

That's major.

But you knew that I wouldn't ever do that.

So it's easy to make a promise

on it.

How was your weekend?

Like, my weekend feels like it was a long weekend.

It was a long weekend.

I feel like I got so much out of the weekend.

So many different like buckets were checked.

One major highlight of my weekend is that we went to Disney on Ice on Saturday.

Which is kind of like

this thing you and Olivia have been doing a lot.

This isn't your first time at Disney on Ice.

It was my first time because they went in

like Q1.

of this year, but Charlie was still kind of little and I didn't think it was right for him to go.

So I stayed home with him and Olivia went and Harry and Zach and Kayla and Levi and they loved it.

And then I was like, oh darn, I wonder if.

And was Olivia and Zach Wine, Rebbe, your husband, the two that loved Disney parks?

Yes.

Okay, so like they have been in they are the Disney adults.

Okay, good.

For sure.

So I knew that whenever they came back around, like I wanted to take Charlie, I felt like he was really ready.

And if you are considering taking your one-year-old, like he loved it.

Disney on ice was in Crayob, let me just say.

It's quite a feat to like do all that on ice.

It is.

And I have so many questions.

Like, I need a Disney on Ice documentary because, like, who are these people?

Like, are they people who like trained to be figure skaters and didn't quite make the Olympics?

Like, how are they so skilled in skating, but also have like a musical theater interest and background?

They're not just like, you know, hockey players who didn't make it because they're like singing and dancing.

I don't think that they are Olympians who didn't make it.

Like, that's what we mean.

That's just my honest opinion.

But you're right.

Like, are they, are they dancers by trade?

Are they figure skaters by trade?

Are they right?

Are they dancers who needed to learn how to skate in order to join the troop?

Or did they figure skate a lot growing up?

Maybe with Olympic dreams and instead they're doing Disney on ice.

Like I need to know how they got

there and what their trade is.

And also like, did they have to, I don't, I don't feel like you could learn this amount of skating just to get the job of Disney on ice.

Like I feel like you have to be a train skater because like they're doing triple the most.

Yes.

The most.

And what I realized with my keen eye is that every, so they do segments of like movies.

And then there's like the star Moana and then all the background singers and dancers.

And I'm pretty sure every background singer and dancer is the star of one sketch.

Like you would see someone who played like

and they all have their big moment, which I was glad for because like someone's a village person here and next he's Simba.

No, it's giving ensemble.

Yeah.

And then at the end, all the main characters come out and you see, oh, wow, we really, we worked through everyone.

How everyone's got their the entire show?

It was a little long.

There was an intermission, I think.

Snacks?

It's at the

arena where the Panthers play.

So yeah, like everything's open.

Everything's open and you can bring snacks.

Of course.

Yeah.

So it was snacks about.

You've got to bring snacks.

I would love to talk to somebody from the sanitation department at an arena.

Like,

what's the messiest group to clean up after?

Like, is it a concert full of drunks?

Or is it a daytime activity full of kids?

I think it's the ravers.

Like, yeah, because they like take dumps, you know?

Yeah, like people who roll for concerts and they like shit on the floor and like they can't control their bodies.

But that doesn't happen in a lot of arenas, raves.

Like, it happens more in fields.

Yes, but also, if there's like a DJ, you might.

Yeah.

I don't know.

It just depends like what level of rave girl you are.

I know you're a 10 out of 10 rave girl.

I mean, me and my coccydinia, like my rave days are over.

I feel like you got coccidinia, rave girl.

If you knew anything about the disease, you know that it's not contagious.

But once again,

she's not here for me.

Is it developed or are you born with it?

I feel like you're not adequately describing it.

You're born.

You're born with it.

It's kind of lives in you always.

And it's like, you know, flare-ups.

Seriously, it's like

psoriasis.

It lies in you.

It lives in you.

It lives in me.

It does.

It doesn't live in you.

I don't know what lives in me, but I don't think it's not coccydenia.

That doesn't ring joy.

Well, I'm learning to live with coccydenia.

This pillow has really helped.

I got my pillow.

I left it downstairs.

Tomorrow's another day.

We'll try again tomorrow.

Plus, I didn't want to take away from your...

Your

announcement.

It's a big day for me.

How was your weekend otherwise?

Just chock full of, really, I hit all the bars, you know, all the bars.

I hit all the

buckets.

Yeah.

Friday night we hosted a Shabbat dinner, which we haven't done like with for like friends since our, we moved into our new apartment.

It was really nice.

Ben cooked literally a feast.

I was like actually embarrassed to have all these like people over in my house.

And they were like, oh my God, like none of it was me.

Yeah.

None of it.

What did I do Saturday?

Oh, Ben golfed.

Oh, I went to Soda Method.

She opened on the Upper East Side.

Yay.

That was like huge.

And then Ben came back from golfing.

Oh, and we went out to dinner with the Taylors and Brian.

You know, a meeting of the minds.

We had to get the gang back together.

And we went to a new restaurant called Corner Store.

I guess there's like been this Dos Caminos

on the corner of West Broadway and Houston Street.

Like it has been there.

People have, I think, in the industry, hospitality, have been waiting for this Dos Caminos to go out because it's like, it's not on the same block as Sidel's.

It's like a very trendy block with like art galleries, the best restaurants.

It's like the most expensive block in the city.

And there's like randomly this Dos Caminos that nobody ever eats at on the prime corner.

And I think that everybody in the hospitality industry has been waiting for this dose Caminos to go out of business.

Finally went out of business and they opened a new restaurant called Corner Store because it's on the corner.

That's where we went.

It was delicious.

Like the drinks were so good.

The food was so good.

It was sceny.

Like everyone was out and about for the new restaurant.

It was just like classic New York stuff.

Ben was on the Patreon with me.

We podcasted together and he was telling me how you guys were going to Corner Store and that he had been the night before.

Classic.

Well, what do I say?

I'm in this group chat.

We're trying to plan a dinner and I'm a planner.

That's what I do.

And everyone's like coming up with times.

What day works for you?

Brian's this, Taylor's that.

I said, okay, we'll go Saturday night like eight o'clock.

Where should we go?

And I'm like, I've gotten us this far.

I'm like, Ben, you're the guy.

Like, you know, the restaurants, you're the restaurant foodie.

Like, me, you may, and Ben has all the connects too.

Right, right.

Like, if we want the best table at the best time, Ben's got to make the reservation.

So I say, Ben, it's on you.

What does Ben do?

Nothing.

So a couple of days later, I'm like, all right, we still don't have a reservation.

I made a reservation, a pretty good one, mind you, at a different restaurant.

And then Ben on Thursday night goes out with his friends and he texts me, this place is amazing we have to go i'm like i literally just made a reservation for saturday night but now sure now

we did end up going with ben's reservation and he was right yeah

well next time just wait and see you recorded a patreon with ben tell me a little bit more about that oh it was fun we did the quiz like how well do i know men which you have to listen to understand

what happened next because

You had to be there, which I know you know.

I know.

And if you don't listen, like just head over to patreon.com slash your toast.

And then I just got to catch up with Ben, which was really fun.

We were sharing some recipe ideas, talking about what we were going to do this weekend.

And I was like, oh, I'm doing something fun.

And that turned out to be Disney on Ice.

And then we had some birthday party yesterday.

I redid my play area in my house, which I'm just shazed about.

That was, that's really been a highlight.

You kind of nailed, I think a lot of women worry, will they have to sacrifice their interior decor for motherhood?

And the answer is yes.

The answer is yes, by the way.

And I think the more that you fight it the harder it is but i think that you sort of as of late have mastered this age-old question this this yin and yang this pushing

i i found a pretty good solution for not having like a dedicated playroom where like our living area is our playroom like i found a pretty good solution for like containing the beast of the toys um and it just is what it is but yeah if you're if you're trying to fight it all the time like then you're gonna be disappointed because you have to embrace the the toys you just do embrace the chaos But I think that most moms do because the toys bring so much joy.

Like, who's really a toy hater?

Probably Hamas.

Probably.

Yeah.

They always have to do it.

They're going to put a tunnel under the toys.

Right.

Just a guess.

Classic them.

There's actually a lot going on in the Patreon.

So the episode Jackie's referring to was a series we started last month where we each sat down with our husbands in separate episodes and put them to the test of like how much they know about women.

We asked them questions about like beauty, makeup, nails, menstruation, pregnancy, like all the different elements of girlhood.

And we wanted to see how they would fare.

They knew a decent amount and they did pretty well.

And so for this month, we were like, let's flip the script and do like a quiz for us about man things.

And we wanted to make it a little bit more fun.

So we husband swapped too.

We husband swapped.

That was the best part.

And I just want to say like men have no culture.

Like the questions were crap.

Their interests are dumb.

And women are just better.

I completely agree.

And you also need to listen, Claudia, to see if I beat you or not.

Oh, wait.

Just tell me.

What score did you get actually don't spoil it oh no i won't tune in to find out but i'll text you i'll text you okay okay you guys have to tune in i'm not gonna give it all away i'll text you

you'll text you We didn't discuss it, but I like that we both like our stop.

We've stopped pretending, you know?

And wearing just sweatshirt season.

Yeah, like I feel like last week, every single day, we both got really dressed up.

Well, we're first weeks back.

It's very exciting.

I've tried a couple different things.

I don't like wearing shorts on the show anymore or a skirt.

It's just like, it doesn't look good on reels.

Sorry.

It doesn't.

So true.

And then, so then I was doing Capri's, but then I had my spray tan issue.

Of course.

And even though now I'm tanned through and through, like I have.

It's hard to go back after what happened.

No, and it's like once you see yourself on camera wearing an oversized sweatshirt and leggings and like high socks.

It's just a suit.

And never going back.

It's the podcasting vibe.

It is the uniform of the job.

Okay, wait.

We totally like buried the lead.

We actually have a very exciting week.

We have two things going on, and they're both happening tomorrow.

Right.

So it's a very exciting Tuesday, really.

God forbid we like spread out our exciting announcements.

No.

The first is we've been teasing this kind of major moment with Spritz.

Obviously, for those who don't know, if you are new here, Jackie and I are founders in a canned sparkling cocktail company called Spritz Society.

We've done amazing things over the years, but I want to say perhaps our biggest yet is happening tomorrow.

I'll tell you a little bit, you know, I won't.

Ben actually told them a lot on the Patreon.

Oh, okay.

So, can I or no?

Up until what the flavor is.

So, we have a big launch coming tomorrow.

New flavor, new skew, new everything in partnership with one of our favorite people, Craig Conover.

For those who don't know, he's one of our investors.

He's a face of our company.

He's such a king.

We did this amazing project with him.

Like, you guys are going to die.

He seriously is like the most cutest.

Actually, Ben was showing everyone at dinner with the tailors, like all the pictures and stuff.

And everyone, it's so crazy how everybody just like loves him.

They're like, oh, and he's so handsome.

Like, everybody was just like, oh my God.

he really is the best.

They're going to love what we've got to offer at SpurtSociety.com tomorrow.

They're going to love.

We'll get into it tomorrow.

Using Comcran20.

Of course.

And then we also, Jackson and I kind of crushing the guest interviews lately.

We've been really wanting to ramp up.

And so many people were in town last week because it was fashion week.

So we were able to do another interview that's dropping tomorrow.

We will drop who the guest is on our Instagram today, but feel free to drop in the comments who you think it is.

I'm really excited for this one.

And this is the first time this person has ever done a podcast interview, which I was honored to be a part of.

Yes.

So we'll leave it at that.

Yeah.

Without giving too much away.

You know, it's so hard for us to be coy.

I know.

Like it's, it's so hard.

Let's just

have to like stop talking.

Should we do the fast five?

How are the stories today?

Did you watch the Emmys?

I watched the Emmys until I couldn't anymore.

And it was maybe like 30 minutes in.

Like these people, they're just like insufferable.

Like, I know.

Especially, I can go for like the music awards because it's fun and there's performances but like it was a lot of talking yeah it was just a lot of like

hollywood yeah and especially post coccidinia diagnosis like i can't talk to these people they don't know real suffering you know no it's so true and they were sitting there like without a care in the world about their buttons without a wince you know like like a real coccidinia survivor Would have been crossing their legs multiple times throughout the ceremony.

1,000%.

And it's not what I saw.

And I didn't even see one Amazon pillow on a chair.

If I went to the Emmys, if I went to the Emmys, they would have to put one of these on my chair.

But our first story is Emmy's recap.

We're going to talk about the winners, the big moments, and my thoughts about what I did watch.

And I mostly wanted to see how Eugene and Dan Levy did.

Oh, how did they do?

What I saw was cute.

Like super cute stuff.

I liked that they were the hosts.

I know we talked about it when they were chosen, and I thought it was a great choice.

And I think they're really well liked by people in Hollywood.

I thought it was excellent and I liked that joke they made about the bear.

Oh, yeah.

And I liked the joke that they made about like the first ever host of the Emmys.

It was just like dumb, stupid jokes that like just were funny.

They like mentioned the first guy who ever hosted the Emmys.

Like you wouldn't know his name.

And they were like, and were the first ones to mention him that he hosted the Emmys.

No, like cute, like cute duo.

It's always easier to do it with like a partner and the partner being like your dad or your son.

I thought it was a really good choice like and not obvious at all.

Yeah.

So let's get into it.

Last night were the 67th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

And here were the winners of the evening.

So overall, the show Shogun and the Bear took home the most awards.

Shogun like broke records for nominations and wins.

And the crazy thing is, I had not heard of Shogun until last night.

Same.

So Outstanding Drama Series, which was a stacked category, was Shogun winner.

Outstanding Comedy Series, Hacks.

I love that Hacks swept all the categories.

Gene Smart one.

I, even though I was very critical of this last season because I thought it was like stupid, I think it's still one of the best shows out there.

And it's really, now that I think about it, one of the few scripted shows that I really keep up with, like season after season.

Yeah.

I love it.

Outstanding lead actor in a drama series,

Hiroyuki, Sonata, Shogun, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Anasaway, Shogun, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Jeremy Allen White, the Bear.

I actually caught his speech, and that was a stacked category too, because you had Steve Martin and Martin Short and Larry David.

Wow.

Yeah.

Well, that's the thing.

Like,

that's what I think everyone's always talking about.

It's like, Jeremy Allen White doesn't make you laugh in that show, and that show doesn't make you laugh either.

It being categorized as a comedy actually makes no sense.

And for him to win against like Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Larry David.

I guess that doesn't make sense.

It doesn't.

Well, his speech, like he seemed really earnest and grateful.

And by the way, I think that's a good question.

No, I'm just saying,

I've not heard him speak before.

I don't subscribe to Jeremy Allen White's content.

Yeah, like I don't watch The Bear, so I don't know this man.

That was my first time interfacing with him.

And like he had a good attitude about him, I felt.

Oh, oh no he's extremely handsome like there's nothing not to like when it comes to jeremy allenwhite.com i am a subscriber i have been for many years you get the fan mail i love his website yeah i subscribe to his newsletter i like i loved him in shameless and i've just sort of followed his journey personally and professionally right i never watched shameless he was definitely the best part of shameless and

created this very like cult following for him because it was like it was a very popular show but it was very almost niche like his following um and i don't think that he's not deserving at all i think he acts the hell out of that show and I think the show is bad.

Sorry.

Like,

I do.

Don't come for me.

That's just my opinion.

But I don't think he's undeserving.

I just think the cat, like, I hate when things don't make sense.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

So why is it in the comedy category?

Because Emmys only have two categories, right?

Like drama and comedy.

Yeah.

And the thing is, it's not a drama, but it's more of a drama than it is a comedy.

Hmm.

It's just a show, you know?

Like, why does it have to have a category?

It's just a show.

Yeah, I understand.

well outstanding lead actress in a comedy series went to gene smart hack queen yeah deserving outstanding supporting actor in a drama series billy crude up the morning show

Outstanding sporting actress in a drama series, Elizabeth DeBecky, the crown.

Oh,

queen.

She was such a piece.

She looked unbelievably gorgeous.

She took her role as Princess Diana so seriously.

I think she forgot to like stop acting because she she is Princess Diana.

Yeah.

Like everything she does, her outfits, her mannerisms, the way she talks.

Yeah.

Outstanding.

Somebody needs to yell cut.

Or that's why she got the part.

Yeah.

Outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series, Eben Moss Bachrock, the bear.

And supporting actress in a comedy series, Liza Colonzias, the bear.

Then Outstanding Limited or Anthology series, which is always a fun category.

I love a limited series.

I agree.

I kind of like it better than shows that come back every season.

Agreed.

Like we've had enough of you.

Thank you.

Yeah, no, and I feel like back in the day, like this category was like, ew, who cares?

And now I like these shows and I watch these shows more than I watch the regular categories.

Yeah.

Like Queen's Gambit, those types of shows, right?

Right.

Lessons in Chemistry was nominated, but it went to Baby Reindeer.

As did

lead actor in a limited series or movie went to Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer.

Did you watch that?

I watched the first couple of episodes and then there was like a really graphic sexually sexual assault scene

that I

was like, why?

I was protecting my peace.

I'm like, why am I watching this?

It was so upsetting.

And I realized like at some point, I'm like, I don't have to be watching this, you know?

So I stopped.

And the girl won too.

She was amazing as an actress, you know?

Like, so I think that they deserve to win.

And it was super popular, which counts a lot.

I'm sad that Lesson Zee and Chemistry didn't win.

Can we talk a little bit about the outfits?

Because I thought Brie.

Larson, I was about to say Brie Vandecamp.

Brie Larson looked so beautiful.

Like, and she, Heather McMahon interviewed her, and she was like, tell us about your outfit.

And she really wanted to pay tribute to Elizabeth Zott.

And you know what?

I didn't think of it at first, but she was like,

this is like sort of me saying goodbye to the character.

And it was so Elizabeth Zott coded.

I have to go look, I hadn't seen.

Oh, I saw

Custom Chanel.

Yeah, wait.

Now let me look at it as Elizabeth Zott.

And it is.

It was so Elizabeth.

Well, good.

That's a good inspo.

Keeps her looking nice.

I thought that Hannah Einbender looked so fabulous.

She was one of my best dressed.

I thought Jennifer Anniston, like, yawn.

She looks like she's great.

Like, she can't look bad, but I feel like she gets the same blowout and the same dress.

I feel like I've seen this outfit before.

Now,

I kind of get that.

You know, I'm a creature of habit.

Like, if it looks good, it looks good.

Yeah.

But at this point, she wears it so much, it looks like that's what she would wear at the grocery store.

It doesn't look special.

I guess.

I kind of am here for it, like, having your classic look, not deterring.

Like, you don't need to be like taking chances when you know who you are and, like, you know what looks good on you.

Like, why should I potentially look ugly like i guess but it's just such a fun way to express no but especially because when you think of like who she is and also like as an artist like she's not doing like the gritty artistic roles like it's very like you know rachel frame

popular show like yeah it's gonna look nice and it's gonna be obvious and you're not gonna have like a lot of questions about it i also thought that um Kristen Wigg looked amazing.

Oh, I didn't see her.

Oh, and AO Ediberi.

I feel like everybody is obsessed with her outfit, and she's kind of having a moment.

And what's so cool, I don't know if people know this.

Do you know that?

Actually, I feel like people do know this if you follow Ariel Charnas.

She's really becoming known for her style.

And her stylist is Ariel Charnis' sister.

Yes.

And that's like a huge win for the influencers.

It is a huge win for the influencers.

Selena.

Okay, I'm looking at pictures now.

Do you see Selena?

She looked very Selena.

I did.

I, Liz Woods put it best because I was having the same feeling.

Liz Woods is like, I feel like she's literally worn this exact same dress before.

Or I just feel like she, too has like a style that she likes.

And you know what?

I kind of take back what I said.

Like, yeah, it's more fun for us to like when people go so glamorous, good or flop, like good, when they go extreme, good or bad.

But if somebody works for you and you just want to

not capture any attention, good or bad, like, you know what?

I kind of get it.

Yeah, like you want to look nice.

You're going out for the night.

Yeah.

Why do you have to be a clown?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Elle Fanning, beautiful.

Yes.

She, what was she there for?

Well, are you sure you're talking about Elle and not Dakota?

No, I'm talking about Dakota.

You're right.

Cool, cool, cool.

I

liked it too.

I liked it.

Yeah.

Yeah, like, she looks pretty.

She also, I feel like the Emmys, nobody's going to like.

The Emmys are so blah, you know?

Yeah.

Like, no one's gagging at the Emmys, you know?

Agreed.

I do agree with you that Brie Larson is amongst the best, but no, nothing I saw, like, was

unbelievable honestly maybe elizabeth debecky is my best dress but only because i really got to see her 360.

what about hannah einbender

did you see what she wore in the pink she looked nice yeah moira looks gorgeous as always love that she's supporting her husband and son

right exactly

yeah

Yeah, it wasn't like a show stopping red carpet, but it wasn't her.

Moira looks amazing.

What was she doing there?

She's going to show up.

She's going to look amazing.

And 10 times out of 10, no one's going to talk about it.

Yeah, they're wrong for that.

Oh, I think a lot of people considered Meryl Streep to be their best dress, like with the pink tuxedo vibe, which I liked.

It was different.

Aza Gonzalez and Rita Aura are literally wearing the same thing.

Have you seen that?

Oh, I saw Aza Gonzalez.

I loved what she wore.

That's what Rita Aura wore, except with like a little less cleavage.

Wait, Rita Aura Emmys.

Oh, oh, oh.

Are they wearing, but they're not wearing the same designer.

No, the neckline is different.

By the way, it's the same designer, Tamara Ralph.

Excuse?

Yeah.

Gonzalez 34 and Aura 33 accidentally twinned on the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles with the pair both wearing strapless baby pink Tamara Ralph gowns for the event on Sunday, September 15th.

Oh my God, like who's getting fired?

Aza's was from fall, winter 2024, 2025, and

Rita wore an old gown from 23, 24.

Whose do you like better, even though they're the same thing?

That's actually a good question.

I actually like Rita's better because I don't like such a plunging neckline personally.

For a dress, I like Rita's better conceptually.

In terms of how they wear the dress, and they're like,

hers is tailored better, Aza Gonzalez.

The dress looks too big on Rita Aura.

I feel like not to be mean, like this is gonna, I feel like Rita Aura, because no brand would knowingly send two very similar dresses to two different women attending the same event.

It makes the brand look bad.

Yeah.

It makes the girls look bad.

I feel like Rita Aura, like,

because she was like barely invited to this event, like had to go shopping at the mall and this is what she bought.

Or her stylist like pulls it, not thinking about who else might be wearing it.

You know, maybe it was two stylists.

It's like Sparky Pilastery.

Like they got to see what it is.

No, but the brand would let you know.

Really?

That's not a good look for the brand.

I mean, the next sharp two fashion.

Well, now we're talking about a brand we had never heard of, but yeah.

Wow.

I actually saw saw when we were talking about the vmas last week like iconic moments from vma's past or whatever where i think it was pink and shakira wore the same dress on their like exactly the same balman and i was like oh that's so crazy that never happens anymore like people really have got it down and are communicating and now this happens no but it doesn't happen for a reason like all the channels the publicists the marketing girls like they know how to avoid it Yeah, and I just think Rita Aura was at Shorthills Mall and picked up this dress.

Like that's really what I think.

Well, at least if two people are gonna wear the same thing, like, make it a good one.

And they did.

Yeah, and it's not like one person looks so much better.

Like, they really are both beautiful, perfect-looking women.

They look great.

Yeah.

Schwarzer looks good.

Sergeia.

Yes, Sircha.

She looks good.

Yeah.

Okay, more categories because we have to get to some of the more exciting categories.

We did a limited series.

Are we not done?

Like, yeah, because three categories are there.

Oh, yeah.

Go to that.

We'll do.

Oh, outstanding competition program went to the Traders, which was a major win for the Traders.

I will.

Does anybody else think that it's convenient that the Traders Peacock Original show won an award that was being held at the Peacock Theater?

No, because then wouldn't every show that lives on Peacock win these awards?

And by the way, that's not to say that Peacock isn't deserving.

I don't know how many Peacock originals were nominated.

Like if they're gonna get one, this would be it.

But it is a great show.

New concepts, different.

People loved it.

I think it's totally deserving.

And it's cool when like our interests are reflected at these like Sonati Award shows that like take themselves so seriously.

And when it's like, let's be real, no one's watching this shit.

Everybody's watching Traders.

Right, right.

Honestly, I'm getting closer and closer to watching Traders.

Then outstanding host for a reality competition went to Alan Cumming for Traders, and he beat RuPaul, who has like won it for the last eight years consecutively.

No, this is really crazy.

I also feel like, and correct me if I'm wrong, don't these awards usually not get televised?

Because I've never seen, I know RuPaul wins every year.

His show wins every year and he wins, but I don't know if I've ever seen him on the actual stage.

I feel like these go to like the daytime ones or just like the non-televised ones.

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe they're just trying to reach a wider.

It's a good idea.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So then and I can't believe RuPaul didn't win.

Like, not that I think like it's it was time like somebody else Yeah, this seems like a radio show to usurp and to break the

streak.

It's just crazy that he didn't win Yeah

Well, I'm sure he'll be okay with his eight trophies and I think there's more because it was eight consecutive But before that he has like so many nominations No, not enough people talk about how RuPaul is one of the wealthiest individuals like what he has built people don't realize first of all not only has the show been syndicated like on a million different continents It's all produced in-house.

World of Wonder, that's his production company.

Like that is business savvy.

I wonder how much he's worth.

I feel like nobody even truly knows because he's not like obnoxious.

Yeah.

Nobody knows.

He keeps himself.

Like he just, you know, I don't feel like he doesn't leave his house.

Yes.

Smart.

Well, are you ready for the next big story?

Big news from Sunday, Football Sunday.

Taylor Swift went to the Chiefs game.

They played the Bengals.

She dressed casual in a vintage Chiefs t-shirt dress and thigh-high boots.

She sat in the Kelsey suite with her brother and Haim.

And a lot of little nuggets came out from the evening.

One, that there is a Taylor Swift Errors tour poster in the Kelsey suite at Arrowhead where she wants her off the stage.

So when I went to the 49ers game, I was in Kristen Youth Check's box.

And I feel like I learned a lot about like family boxes.

So the youth checks and the kittles have a box together.

And when I was looking around, it was so cute.

They had pictures.

I guess they let you like customize it for the whole season.

They have pictures from like a million years ago, from their weddings, family, friends.

It was so personal and so sweet.

And so, like, the fact that Taylor has a picture in there, obviously.

It's kind of significant.

Like, she is still the girlfriend, technically, right?

Yeah, but she also has a connection to Arrowhead.

Like, she rocks to the stage.

I'm sure that particular poster says, like, Arrowhead Stadium, July, whatever.

Yeah.

So, I loved that.

And by the way, the game, I have really become acutely aware of how much I say, by the way.

I'm really neat.

I'm going to start working on it.

It's okay, I think it's a phase,

okay.

Maybe, okay.

The game itself, because you know, I'm not like other girls.

I turn on the game and I actually watch it after Taylor gets shown.

I like to see what happens.

It was a really good game, and I feel I was an empath.

And I was rooting for both teams.

I didn't particularly have an interest because I love Joe Burrow.

Everyone knows, like, he's really a fine specimen, and he's got frosted tips.

I really like it.

I think it's a good choice.

And then, obviously, Taylor and Travis, like, I would have been happy if both teams won.

And I feel like I have some thoughts on the Cincinnati Bengals because they have, they kind of remind me of me at a young age, like a lot of potential, but they can't get out of their own way.

Like there were a lot of players.

They lost the game.

It was so close up until the very end, but they lost the game because of like a couple of calls that were their fault, you know, like they got pushed back.

They lost their first down face mask.

One of them was screaming at the ref.

He got thrown out.

It's like, those are dumb mistakes.

Like you, you cost yourself the game.

And I feel like if I was a coach, I would have a talk with them, you know?

Would they have like an attitude adjustment?

Yeah, they have an attitude problem 1,000%.

And I think it's emotional, of course, because this is not the second game in a row that they've lost.

And it's a third year in a row where they're like losing all their games.

And I could sense their frustration, of course.

I get it.

I'm an emotional person.

They're a good team because they came close to beating the Super Bowl winners.

Yeah, no, they are a good team.

And Joe Burrow is like one of the most promising young quarterbacks, and they have a ton of really good players.

And they just kind of can't get out of their own way.

Yeah, they need like a strong individual, like a life coach to kind of come in and like, you know, do team building exercises, maybe some trust falls, maybe like go to one of those like treetop places like they went to on Real Houses of Orange County.

Real Houses of Orange County.

Really build teamwork.

I love that.

Yeah.

I think they need maybe some icebreakers.

No, it's true because then like one of the guys who was like mad got mad at the ref.

And then they played, so he like thinks that the ref should have called something, like that he's got his face mask or something.

And then they did the slowdown version and like he had no leg to stand on.

And so that's why the ref didn't make the call.

And he screamed at the ref and then got a flag for screaming so he went out and then he's throwing his helmet and Joe Burrow is like screaming at him to stop so there's infighting amongst they need like coach Taylor to come in and team building discipline and honestly like you know punish anyone who's like acting out like maybe you sit a game even if you're the best player like maybe you don't play maybe you have to see Yeah, they need like a coach Taylor, ex-life coach, ex-team building.

Like they need like the weekend retreat, first of all, where like they can't bring their phones and they all have to like sleep in bunks and they learn about each other and they go through their childhood trauma trauma and things like that.

Because I do think there's a lot of potential there, but they are not seeing one another.

There's no connection within the team.

They need to learn to trust each other.

They should have and could have beat that team.

Oh, and then like they won the Chiefs because they had three seconds left and they had to kick a field goal.

And Harrison Butker, is that his name?

Yeah.

And everyone's like cheering for Harrison Butker and everyone's like giving him hugs.

And I'm like cracking up because like these are the people like they're, he's the one who had that speech go viral, right?

And so it's like we've all forgotten about that because he literally saved the day.

They wouldn't have won without him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's his literal job.

Yeah.

Well, by the way, the, by the way, well, the Bengals missed a field goal.

So that was tragic as well.

And it was a special field goal that Harrison Buttkiss made because it was like 56 yards, like really special, really long.

Oh, wow.

Like if he would have missed it, you really couldn't have blamed him.

Right, right, right.

Okay.

I guess everyone's just going to have to suck it up.

Yeah, like we're all just like how much

she loves sports, really,

right?

And I really was wanting them to like, I feel like Taylor like left the seat that she was in.

Like, she didn't want to be on camera for the Harrison Butt kiss.

Because for some reason, like, when his speech went viral, they were like, well, what is Taylor going to say?

Taylor doesn't know this person.

No, and also, it's like, what, Taylor's going to come out against like her boyfriend's teammate and like cause this infighting?

No, she probably has met with Coach Taylor.

And, like, that's just not what you do as a part of a team.

Like, you respect people's differences and you keep it moving.

And you could even have like personal conversations.

And I'm sure plenty of people, he talks to plenty of teammates and whatever, but like to do that publicly, like, that's not what a team does.

No, that like is embarrassing.

Like, for Travis, like, my girlfriend, and she's so famous is like, when people were like calling on Taylor to speak, I'd be like, are you guys serious?

And also, you have to remember, like, as much as she's seriously the most powerful woman in the world, like, she's still the girlfriend.

Like, you have to behave.

Like, when she is the wife, she could be tearing it up.

A thousand percent.

But, like, when you're the girlfriend, like, you still have to be an actress.

I love that so many of the wags love Taylor.

They threw a party, I think, after yesterday's game because it was Patrick Mahomes' birthday, and we got a lot of Taylor content from the like these girls love being Taylor's friend, and Taylor loves being friends with them.

Like, all they do is take pictures every week.

It's the best thing.

And this one girl, I'm sorry, I'm, I don't remember her name, I'm gonna find it.

She posted a carousel of pictures from the game.

She has a husband who's on the team, and

her caption was seriously like so real.

Okay, hold on.

I've got to find a Liz P.

Wood story.

Here.

Bitches clearly want my life and it's so evident.

Like they do.

I do.

Yeah.

Her name is Kariah Gordon.

Oh, Shariah.

Taylor was talking about her.

Oh, her man is Micole Hardman Jr.

They're married.

Cute.

Taylor's brother a lot.

I feel like they're in the box.

She sat next to Taylor at the game last night, so that's why her caption.

Yes, you're right, because there's a picture of all four of them.

Oh, yeah.

Taylor must really like her.

I feel like she's funny.

Bitches clearly want my life, and it's so evident.

Like, yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to make that my caption like the next time I have a picture to post.

Someone remind me.

Are you ready for our next story?

I guess.

I didn't watch a lot of football yesterday because I was like, oh, I played golf.

Yeah, I'm an amazing wife.

Oh, just a different sport.

Just a different sport.

I'm kind of well, like a well-rounded athlete, you would say.

Understanding.

Even with my coccynia.

It doesn't hold her back.

Well, our next story is actually super funny because Colin Jost jokes that buying the Staten Island ferry with Pete Davidson was the dumbest purchase he ever made.

So it's hard to say whether or not Colin Jost has any regrets about buying the Staten Island ferry in 2022.

The SNL star teamed up with fellow comedian Pete Davidson to purchase the decommissioned ferry for $280,000, according to the New York Times two years ago.

But he told People Magazine that for a conservative spender, it was not his smartest move.

So actually, he, their ferry hosted the Tommy Hill figure show during New York Fashion Week last week.

Which is like the first thing they've done in five years since owning this random boat.

So he spoke to People Magazine like kind of at length about the ferry situation, and it is a bit of a conundrum.

So he said, quote, it's absolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I've ever made in my life.

life.

The way I justified it is for the amount of money we were putting into buying it on just a basic square footage level level is if you found the right place for it to be, you were essentially buying a building on its side that's 65,000 square feet.

So around New York, that's a very good price per square foot.

Yes, because if they were going to

be a comedy club, then if you think of square footage.

So in the two years since they bought the ferry, though, it hasn't done a whole lot, and Joe can admit that.

The team is working on it and has done some renovations.

It still, though, looks like the Staten Island Ferry.

But that's because he and Pete, as well as their co-investor, who is the comedy club owner, Paul Italia, he owns the stand.

They all have full-time jobs.

They're not devoting as much time as he might like to getting the ferry up and running as an entertainment venue.

And the team has like different ideas for what it should be.

So Joe said it's possible that the very, the ferry could still end up functional as a boat.

It would just require a staff to run it, and he's not sure that's something he wants to worry about.

And as much as he might like to take the ferry out on the water himself, he actually can't because it doesn't have the engines for that yet.

They could get it up and running and on the water soon, but then like it's um expensive and the insurance company no of course not and why they don't need to be doing tours of staten island like no no no like to get it operable as a as a ferry so even if they rented it out for stuff like tommy hilfiger couldn't have taken it out on the water like it had to be docked yeah but the way i envisioned it there are a couple of like places in the city that are on boats that don't move like there's a really popular restaurant downtown that's like a big boat that's docked and i think the idea of a comedy club like on a boat that is docked is still fine it doesn't need to boat yeah that the team does think it makes more sense to dock it and use it as a venue just like Tommy Hilfiger did however one of their partners wants to turn the ferry into a venue with hotel rooms restaurants and bars and maybe he can't even get the name

and now he wants a hotel cart the ferry the ferry's halftime in Miami and halftime in New York but then Colin's no they all hate this partner because he's like delusional but then Colin's like we want to be on the water in New York like it's a Staten Island ferry I would love it to be here I think it's special if it stays in New York and in some way.

And I think it will be reimagined, but the spirit is the same.

So they don't know what they're doing with that ferry.

And I'm sure the maintenance of it, like, and the docking fees for two years, even though the initial 280K for a massive boat is actually, it is a good price, but to just be a money pit.

Yeah.

Yeah, and they're really not utilizing the celebrities involved because if they had just rented, I feel like renovating it into a small comedy club and like having your big famous friends go and it doesn't need to take off, like it just docks.

Like to me, it sounded like a good idea at the time.

And now it's just stupid because nobody cares.

And they have one investor who's like delusional.

I want to make all dull and take it to Miami.

And the others who don't want to do anything, like it's giving group project with like a chaotic group.

Yeah.

Someone needs to, like, one vision needs to emerge as the leader and everyone needs to get on board.

They need to have a brainstorm.

They need to literally get on board.

They need to make a decision.

Okay, so you and I buy like a defunct ferry.

What are we doing with it?

I think a bar, like a,

it stays docked

with the idea of having like a, yeah, I think like, you know, toasty booze cruises.

Yeah, but I, I don't like the concept of, especially in the city, of like having a party or a bar or whatever on a boat that moves because you're stuck.

And then you're like, people are not going to go because one, they get boat sick, two, because they're like, oh, well, I have to be somewhere at 8:30 and the book doesn't dock till 10.

So if you're just stuck at the dock and you get like pretty views of the water and the city, like that's like

being on a boat that's not moving.

What is the point?

I'd rather go to a restaurant on land on the water because there are boats.

Like I'm just getting queasy for what?

I'm not even sailing the high seas.

People love being on boats.

I mean, it really is a great experience to be on a boat.

I

love being on a boat.

There's literally a song.

I'm on a boat.

Like, that's all you have to say.

There's a lot of songs on the pontoon.

I love boats and I love all different types of boats.

Like, we did a boat this summer summer in the Hamptons.

Like it wasn't, you know, we weren't, we did swim actually, but it's like, you know, northeast waters, choppy, shark.

Loved every minute of it.

Every time I go on vacation, like to the Caribbean, I'm always doing a boat day.

I think those are like the best days of my life.

I love like a chilly boat in the fall or winter, but you just like, you know.

Catch and build a catch lift.

Oh my God.

I think boats, I would love to own a boat one day.

I need to add that to my list of dreams.

I was adding it to my list and then we did that boat day and we had the best time.

And then when I I got home like I was rocked like I was feeling the motion of the ocean for the next 24 hours.

I'm glad it didn't hit me on the boat and I was able to enjoy but I don't have the constitution I think to own a boat because I couldn't really use it that much.

I absolutely adore the use of the word constitution.

Can you tell me a little bit more about what it means and like how to use it in sentences?

So the constitution, like the makeup.

I don't have the makeup of a boater.

I'm sure that's why the constitution was called that.

I think the word Constitution comes before

the document.

Yeah.

So if I were to use it, a constitution is an aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that can.

So because of my coccydenia diagnosis, I have the constitution of a fighter.

I think you have the constitution of a standard.

I don't.

Or maybe a layer on your side.

Of a layer.

yeah yeah i am the layer of one who lays on your side yeah i was like layer layer yeah i i definitely am so you have the constitution or you are the constitution you have the constitution what is your constitution it's kind of like elk

yes it's kind of an elevated elk by the way i do feel like we need to do a quarterly reminder that we use the word elk like we know it we're trying to say ilk but now it's elk.

But I also have to remind myself that the actual word is ilk.

There are a lot of things that we say incorrectly on purpose.

And I think if you're new to the show, you love to leave a comment thinking you're helping.

And it just kind of shows your

infancy.

Yeah.

One of them, you know, lest we not forget.

Right.

It's lest we forget.

We know, but it's not.

All's to say.

All's to say.

All's to say, we know most of the things, but we're having

fascist smile.

Fashy smile.

What other words do we pronounce incorrectly on purpose?

Should we start a list?

Yeah, maybe.

Schwarzai, I don't do on purpose.

I just can't ever remember until you say it, and then I'll get it right.

And somebody once taught me how to say it.

You just have to think of Lisa Vanderpop in her best restaurant, Sir.

Sir Sha.

Okay, I'll try for next time.

But like, if it's months go by, I don't know if I'll remember, is what I'm saying.

That mnemonic device will help, trust and believe.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, that's another one.

Yeah, you're welcome.

And they move around quite a lot these days, every which way.

Their bodies curve this way, that, you know, they're crawling,

walking, doing their thing, and Huggies is there to support them.

Huggies little...

And let's, we can't understate the importance of their cute little designs.

It's true.

They have their Simba ones, which we love.

And we were just...

at Disney on Ice, really enjoying Simba.

It's all full circle.

It's the circle of life.

So

Jackie, that's beautiful.

Thank you.

Huggies Little Movers are curved to fit all curves.

So my babies feel comfy no matter how much they're moving around and they're moving a lot.

They also offer 12-hour protection against leaks, which is a game changer.

So get your baby's butt into the best fitting diaper.

Huggies Little Movers.

Our next story.

Royal watch sharks are confused and quaint.

What?

Royal Watch Dogs

are confused a bit because the royal family wished Prince Harry a happy birthday on social media.

And the Prince and Princess of Wales like retweeted it, reposted it, also wishing him happy birthday.

So there's a lot going on in this.

It's giving back in the fold.

Yes.

However, the picture that they chose is like kind of a weird one.

In the larger picture, I think Megan is in it.

You can't see her cropped out because they're not like touching each other.

So it's just kind of like a random picture of him when like we do have portraits.

We do have sometimes if you're wishing someone happy birthday like you would post a picture of them with their family So it's like one why are they wishing him a happy birthday?

Even though I think it would also be weird if they didn't so I am team they should wish him happy birthday, but two Why is this the picture that they used?

Yeah, because to use a photo that Megan's in

And it's not weird to post a photo of someone alone on their birthday, but to crop someone out Let alone that person's wife mother of their children Feels targeted Especially when it was a weird photo to use from the get-go and the original photo is like a candid almost.

It's from 2018.

He's like sitting around a table.

There's other people around the table.

And they like, where did they even find this photo?

They could have used a photo of Harry and the family, like in one of the family photos that they took.

They could have used like even a childhood photo of him.

Like it

was so weird.

Yeah, they could have like made no news with this if they just chose like a sweet photo.

They could have made no news, which I do think was the goal.

And instead, it's news.

Yeah, it's a weird photo for sure.

Also, they couldn't have kept Megan in it without leaving the back of someone's arm, too.

And then it's an even weirder photo.

Um, so why are they acting like this is the only photo they could have used?

I'm not mad about the Megan crop, it doesn't make sense for her to be in this picture if this is the one they absolutely had to use.

But I do not understand why this is the picture.

Plus, it's from 2018, that is six years ago.

Okay, I also always forget that, like, the

public opinion on Harry is so different in the UK than it is here.

Um,

because then you read the comments on this Instagram, and they're definitely UK comments.

Like, people from America, I don't think, are leaving comments on the Royal Family Instagram.

The top one: happy birthday from Netflix, Spotify, Oprah, and Penguin Random House.

If only his 40th birthday could bring him wisdom, maturity, class, and humility.

Oh, goodness.

Back in the day where he didn't need to ask for his wife's approval to smile.

Well, she was right next to to him.

Oh my God.

The first 40 years of childhood.

Childhood

was difficult.

Like people really don't like him in the UK.

I hope he has the day he deserves.

No cake, no champagne, no visit from his family, just a long day of listening to his wife talk.

Oh my God, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

You really, it puts into perspective how different like the temperature and the climate is on them and why they fled.

And I think that

I do think in America, people, and I don't, I can't ever tell if I'm just like projecting my own likes and dislikes, but I feel like people really like Megan and like people don't like Harry here.

I think that's you.

That's what I just said.

I think in America, the same people who like them like both of them and the same people who don't like them don't like both of them.

I don't, I actually think that you're in the minority of like really liking one and not liking the other.

Like I think most people associate them as the same.

Well, I can't recommend coming to my side enough.

I think it's really wondrous.

I think it's a fun POV because it allows you to enjoy the good and like kind of get caught up in all the swirly stuff she's doing.

Fabulous.

Well, not having to deal, and then just like putting all the negative stuff that they've done, just like put it on him.

Not your problem.

I mean, I don't know how you watched their documentary and you didn't walk away with this fucking hate for Harry.

And like, really, this, this, I felt this like fundamental, I felt like

Harry so failed his wife and failed at protecting her and

left

almost like shift blame onto his family.

When if you watch and listen to exactly what they said, like all of the things that Megan got thrown into and her unpreparedness, like it was on him.

He has grown up in this.

Like he knew what she needed to wear, act, do, be, see.

And he told her none of it.

He just sort of threw her into it and was like, my family's mean.

It's like, well, you're not helping.

Yeah, that's definitely one big part of it.

And I think, as I've said, like, I think everything he's done after that, like, was an overcorrection to the fact that he totally dropped the ball.

But when I think back on their documentary now, like the way that it ages in my mind, I think it was a lot of propaganda.

And it's hard to just like take everything that they said as like the only part of the story.

Even one of the experts that they had called in to like do some social media analysis on something, like he wound up being like such a fucking

quack.

He wound like that.

He was cited as doing, I can't remember all the details, but like, I don't think it ages well.

I think a lot of it has been like,

you realize that even not necessarily an outright lie, but just like way more to the story.

Well, then you also have to think about it.

Like, cause at the end of the day, this is just like in-law drama, right?

On a much more global scale, but so many people have in-law dramas and you talk to the mother-in-law and her side of the story is insane, right?

Like the evil daughter-in-law.

And then you talk to the daughter-in-law and it's like, oh my God, her mother-in-law is evil.

And I do feel like it's one of those situations where you'll sit down with anyone and you'll hear their side and you'll be like, oh my God, the family's evil.

The family's wrong.

No contact, no contact.

But now I'm at a place where like, I will listen to something Harry says and I just, I have such a hate for him.

I'm like, oh, you're lying.

Yeah, but I do think it's completely a magnified version of what you just said.

Like in-law drama, two different takes on the situation.

When you talk to one side, you see it.

And when you talk to the other side, you see their side.

Like, and it's a tale as old as time.

And like, unfortunately for them, it's playing out in front of all of us.

No, it's a tale as old as like I feel like a million girls are like yeah, I've been there.

Yeah, but obviously

but then also then he doesn't help himself when he writes a book about it and does shows about it.

But those are also things that he has to do because he didn't protect her in the first place and they had to leave.

And now they don't have the money that they once had.

Yeah.

That's part of, that's like not as tale as old as time.

That's specific to this situation.

The money part of

their

post-royal life to me is so interesting because they get dragged a lot for all the projects that they do.

Even that top comment, like happy birthday from Netflix, Spotify, Oprah, and the money, you just assume like royals are wealthy, like independently.

And I know that he is, like, his mother left him a lot of money and he has inheritances and stuff, but a lot of like the royal wealth is tied up in land for the royals.

And once you leave, like, you have to work.

Yeah.

Especially at the level that they live.

Yeah, it's like

we're not downsizing after this.

Right.

We're upgrading.

Right.

Well, are you ready for our fifth and final story?

It's a little podcasting news that I find very interesting because the daily podcast

is keeping up with sports finally came out.

No, but it is sports adjacent-ish.

It's um Amy Roback and TJ Holmes are expanding their podcast to a daily show titled The Morning Run.

Not the morning run, morning run, because that makes it sound like the toast.

Morning Run.

So Amy and TJ announced Monday that they will release daily podcast episodes about news and entertainment.

The former GMA Three Coast anchors made the decision to

help listeners navigate the busy news cycle and historic political season this country is facing each weekday.

They're both avid runners and they will continue to host their current iHeart podcast, Amy and TJ, on which they discuss romance, cheating scandal, the ouster from ABC.

But this will be a daily news entertainment podcast called Morning Run Monday to Friday, bringing you daily news, entertainment, and lifestyle headlines, keeping listeners informed and entertained every day of the work week.

This is actually really interesting because last week there was a report that came out that ABC is kind of like struggling with GMA ever since like firing TJ and Amy, that they don't have not even who to host GMA 3, like the third hour but the people who will one day replace like Robin Roberts George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan like they were set to follow their footsteps and like this article came out saying like they have good correspondence there but they're not stars and no and it takes a long time to like for America to love you and then they build up that talent

and also to like you know learn the jerk like to get your experience in and so they are kind of having this issue and like TJ and Amy actually seem to be doing well and now they're going back to doing daily shows, talking about news.

It's like ABC should hire them back.

And so is iHeartRadio producing their second show too, this daily one?

I,

yes, they are.

Well, for like a podcast network and a big media company to take your, like they obviously are doing well with their weekly show because to take on another show to do five days a week and sell ads for, like you have to, there has to be a demand for it.

So they must be doing well.

I mean, I maintain that I think they were wrongly fired.

Obviously, like having an affair is the wrong thing to do, but

like what fucking business is that of your boss?

Like, who cares what choices you make in your personal life?

And so, I'm glad they're suffering.

Like, you're a loser.

Like, good losers suffer.

Yeah, I agree with that.

And now they're really doing what they were doing before, but just in a different space.

And they must be having success with it if they're going to be doing more shows.

They get to work together.

The only thing is, though, like, the pressure is on for them to be together forever.

Not even because they like cheated on their spouses, where there's always that pressure.

Like, you have to make it work or else

you're a homewrecker.

Now, there's even more writing on it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I think a lot of people

are, a lot of people say, like, I can have a podcast.

And then it comes to, you know, developing an hour-long show once a week.

And it's way more work than people anticipate.

And so then you get your feet wet and you're having a lot of success with a

weekly show.

A daily show is a lot more work, but these are two people who like, you know, for many years were up at 4 a.m.

doing the news GMA third hour.

So I do think they have what it takes.

I just don't know if there's that much public interest in these two.

Like I feel like the media is obsessed with talking about them and they're like, are Are there fans?

Like, based on what I know about the podcasting industry, I can't imagine like they're getting more than 25,000 listens a week.

Now, I know when you're a part of iHeartMedia, like, your numbers get inflated because anyone with the iHeartRadio app, like, they really can inflate your numbers and make it bigger than it is.

But when it comes to like devoted fans, like, I can't imagine that they have a lot of people.

Like, who are the devoted fans?

I want to check their Instagrams.

Yeah.

And please sound off in the comments.

Like, have you ever listened to this podcast?

And how many

people who like watch GMA3 to even like them in the first place like are going to now change their behavior to doing podcasts?

I feel like it's a very traditional audience that uses traditional mediums, not podcasting.

But she has 600K.

Oh, wow.

That's a lot.

Yes.

And he has

152K.

Oh, wow.

He's not really pulling his weight.

Yeah, I just don't know.

Not only that, like, let's say you love TJ and Amy, right?

And maybe you watch TV and podcasting is not for you.

I just can't imagine, like, even if you love to watch the GMA third hour, like, you're watching for the content, not for the hosts.

You know what I mean?

Like, yeah, and like, you don't have like fans.

Maybe, maybe you get to a level, like, even Robin Roberts or what's his name, Stephanopoulos, like people love them.

They're like America's sweethearts.

But if they were to like start their own podcast, like, I don't even know if that many people would listen.

They like the work that they do, but they're tuning in for the content, not the host.

And I think podcasting is so personality heavy, and especially in a space where there are so many like news podcasts, I think that you kind of have to be

you got to have like be saying something new like hot takes like I don't know that that's what they do because that's not what they did

yeah and they weren't ever like journalists in the sense where they were breaking hard-hitting divisive news they sort of are just very it's like kind of a what's our favorite movie morning story like it's morning show it's light and it's lovely yeah

But they must be doing well.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do.

Yeah.

I'm rooting for them.

I'm rooting for for me in my battle against Coccidinia.

I like the name and I like the concept, morning run.

And their whole profiles are running.

Like they're running people.

That's good.

Yeah.

Well, thanks, Jax.

That was great.

Hope your tissue's okay.

Me and my pillow, we're doing great.

I know.

I just feel like I can't complain.
