Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday.

Oh, yeah.

We did it.

We did it.

We made it.

Things we did.

It.

It that Friday we did this week.

What number week of the year do you think it is?

Oh, I love this game.

36.

Yeah, I was going to say 33.

Is that like a fact that you can look up?

I don't know if anybody tracks this like we do.

I don't think anybody is quite as invested in the days, weeks, and months of the year as we are.

I'm just like investing in getting into the holiday season.

It's the 37th.

Wow.

I literally guessed 36.

wow.

37th week, done and dusted.

Done and dusted, bitch.

Things we did the 37th week.

Did you like that?

Watch me do 38.

We'll see about that.

We will definitely see about that.

Watch this space.

What's that mean?

Oh my God, that's like what the kids say when they're about to like

do something just great.

Like when greatness is coming, they say, watch this space.

Oh, so like, you know, before I do a cartwheel, I should say, watch this space.

Yeah, or like, if you've got big things brewing, big things coming, like working on a big secret project, like watch this space.

Okay, watch this space.

We do have a lot.

In terms of, you know, short term, we have a lot going on today.

We've got Queenie and Weenie of the Week, the Fast Five Stories.

We both caught up on Tell Me Lies.

And then a little bit bigger picture, you know, long term, watch this space.

We are coming up on the weekend, which is fabulous.

And then after the weekend comes another week of work.

Some would say the 38th.

And we have a guest episode that we recorded this week that we're going to release next week that was so fabulous.

It is the first time

this guest has sat down for a podcast interview.

These guests have sat down for a podcast interview.

And let me tell you, it didn't disappoint.

Yeah, it was really great.

So that will be coming out on the 38th week of the year.

True.

Oh, to say, watch the space, my friends.

I also caught up on Secret Lives and Mormon Wives last night.

I have one more episode left and things have really reached a fever pitch.

Have you gotten to Vegas yet?

No, but like everybody spoiled so much for me.

And I'm grateful because seriously, like I need to talk about it now.

You're telling me that Jen is paying for her husband's medical school with her influencer money because the money that his parents gave him for medical school, he gambled away because he has a gambling problem.

Right.

And then she went to Vegas with her girls to do her work and film her show and do her mom talks so she can continue to pay for everything that he does.

And he needed to come along too, even though it's a girls trip.

The only other man coming was a man whose partner is 37 weeks pregnant and could give birth.

But Zach needed to come too because he has a gambling addiction, but because he has no money because he gambled it all away and he's in medical school, his.

generous wife gave him an allowance of $2,500 for him to gamble.

So he goes to Vegas with her and ruins their trip and gambles the night away while also berating her, yelling at her for going to Chippendales with the girls to do her job and that thing that's paying for everything else,

calling her a terrible mother, telling her he's going to divorce her, telling her he's going to take the kids to his mom's house, that she is a bad person with bad values, all because she stepped into the chippledales establishment and she left before the show even started because he was making her so miserable oh my god and she that's what i mean to tell you oh my god okay like hate you

hate so much

and i've been seeing like a lot of hatred being sent his way and usually i'm not one to like you know we should not send people hate but like this is the type of person who needs it like dead ass

dead ass I mean they're still together and they're obviously working on things they have two small children like I understand and then they're also like extremely traditional I understand why like oh you yelled at me like divorce isn't like the first option for her.

But I do hope, I think this show will like give her a lot of power and confidence.

And I do hope like she's able to in some way like use that to change the dynamic of her marriage because she is treated, anyone would be treated so unfairly in this situation.

But when you put into context that she is the breadwinner, like, I'm sorry, give me your allowance back.

Well, by the way, giving somebody an allowance with a gambling edition, that's just like a bad call on her point.

Well, she just wanted to make him happy and he hadn't gambled in six months.

and i think she like her whole life is just like trying to appease this like narcissist for sure for sure but like if you just think about tendencies gambling like okay this your alcoholic husband has hasn't had a drink in six months like celebrate with a drink like that's not how it works but i i know what you mean um

i could also see i hope i you know and we talk about this a lot how these reality shows about like traditional women often change the lives of and marriages of those women for the better because they have this sense of independence they're making their own money a lot of times they start out earning their husbands but i do think that it could have it like that could be one outcome.

Or her husband could say, you can't do the show anymore.

Like I'll be really interested to see if she's not going to be able to do that.

But they need the show.

Of course.

How is he going to go through medical?

Like he really has like no leg to stand on, yet he thinks he calls the shots.

Right.

That's why the craziest people.

People who like seriously know

like to stand on and they've got nerve.

And he's like yelling at her, breeding her, saying the nastiest things you could say about a person while also asking for money.

On camera.

You might want to try with a little sweetness.

It's also crazy when people act this way, like on camera, because everybody's putting on, right?

So this is like a front-facing version of himself that he's not going to be able to do it.

Most of it happened over text, text and phone call, which she shared like bits and pieces.

So we got the story, but it's not, no, he wasn't saying these things with a camera in his face.

That would be even crazier.

What was I going to say?

Oh, and then also we watched Tell Me Lies.

It was only one episode.

So I guess they dropped two episodes and now we're like living life like it's 2007 and we're watching one episode a week.

That's okay.

Cause last night it took me a while to get through the episode just like things kept coming up and by the end like i felt like i'd been watching it for a long time and i was like excited for next week but i also was excited to get into secret lives so i was okay but i am sat on hulu right now everything i'm watching is on hulu right now uh me as well because desperate housewives is also on hulu yep desperate housewives mom talk and uh who tell me lies guys i feel like we're always saying how like certain streamers go through seasons and recently like max i feel like was coming off of a big one and hulu's kind of having a moment it is at least for us yeah

so that's exciting to not have to switch platforms the episode of tell me lies like wasn't

like crazy i don't think like that much happened i think it was one of those episodes where they're just sort of laying the groundwork and there was also like a big chunk of episode um at the wedding like in the future and i find the future scenes to be like really boring

yeah i enjoy i just enjoy it like i'm not watching being like not enough is happening or whatever like I'm just very invested incredible I feel so I feel so like deeply when things happen, like that conversation with Pippa and Wrigley in the dining hall

at the dinner time, not when she chewed his friends out for lunch, but when he came over and apologized at dinner, like I seriously wanted to start crying and I wanted both of them to start crying.

I know.

There's like so much sadness in this show.

It's like really dark.

Yeah, like everyone's going through a personal struggle.

And then it's like when someone else is struggling with something and so are you and they're not there for you, like that makes you sink even deeper.

Like that's what happens with me.

That's what's happening with like macy and her friends that's what happened now with all the girls like they're all dealing with things that are like really heavy and

they can't be there for one another so they all keep like spiraling more yeah but like i'm sorry macy like people have a lot going on right now like i know you broke up with your boyfriend and that was sad when it was the only thing that was happening but like there's other things that are more serious happening now 1000 and you know what i stand and i ship her and the teacher so you know what i'm all for it i think macy's having a real a real day

i like don't ship them I don't know why.

Maybe I'm just like so like rules oriented where I'm like, stay away.

Yeah.

Don't.

This is trouble.

And for what?

You guys don't even like know or like each other.

You're not even in his class.

You would never see him again.

Like,

literally.

It's like a story for the story.

But she like walked into temptation.

It's not like she could not avoid him.

Oh.

She literally banged down the door of temptation.

1,000%.

I think that's like supposed to be like.

clear like she is having some sort of crisis because of her breakup and so she's just doing and up until now, we've known her as like a really like good girl with a good head on her shoulders.

And, like, she cares about her classes and her family and her friends.

And that's

like, that's what means a lot to her.

So, I think that

we're supposed to be like, oh my God, no, the good girl's gotten bad.

Yeah.

But, like, at least with Lucy, it's like if Steven ever bothered her again, like, she wouldn't go looking for him.

You know, she's not looking for trouble.

Yeah.

But he keeps coming.

Like, she can't avoid him.

Yeah.

That's like the difference.

She's tough to watch.

Who?

Lucy.

When she's being good, she's so good, but she's seriously two different people.

And when you think about all the skeletons in her closet, it's like, girl, you should just transfer.

Like, you'll never come back from these things.

Like, you wrote the letter.

You slept with Evan.

Like, it's time to transfer.

Come clean and transfer.

And then you can have a normal life.

I too had the thought that she should transfer, mostly because of the cheating thing.

Like, if

they found out, I don't know if they do find out, but if and when they do, just run.

I don't think they do.

I think in present times they're going to find out.

I don't think they ever find out in the last seven years.

But yeah, like.

I know she wants to be a good person, but you have to start by like making amends.

And so she needs to admit to Wrigley that she wrote the letter.

She needs to admit it to Pippa.

She needs to tell Wrigley like that's why he's off the team.

And that's why his brother doesn't speak to him.

And Brie, I slept with your boyfriend.

And I'm just going to

head it to Colgate.

I got a transfer, a second-year transfer.

Have a good day, everyone.

Yeah, have a like that's the only way to move forward.

Otherwise, she's stuck living like in this cycle and in the past, and that's what we see in 2015.

No, yeah, you look at it.

Because she didn't transfer, her life sucks.

She's so miz, and yeah, if she just went to an like, she like this, these 10 people are her whole universe for 10 years.

And, like, I don't know if it occurred to her that she seriously could go to a college and like make new friends.

Yeah, she needs a clean slate of tabula,

big time, and that can't happen at Baird.

No, it can't.

Also, I'm kind of going through something.

Oh, okay.

I talked to you about this a little bit last night, and I spoke about it on my Instagram story, so I won't berate everyone, but I just, I kind of feel this sense of duty.

D-O-O-D-Y or D-U-T-Y?

I'm glad you asked.

D-U-T-Y.

Oh, wow.

Okay, I'm sad.

To talk about my experience with the frame TV.

Okay.

So.

I got a frame TV.

Now, if you aren't familiar,

it's like a special TV that Samsung came out with a couple of years ago that like revolutionized the game for people who like don't want to look at like an ugly TV on their wall.

They'd rather have a piece of art.

Well the Samsung frame is so special, it's non-reflective and it and it basically is a screensaver when you're not watching it that looks like you can have like a Monet on your wall.

I was like, you know what?

I was really having this issue in my living room with nowhere to put my TV.

So I'm like, you know what?

We'll get a little frame, not huge, and we'll,

we'll have art.

Like I had a piece of art and I just moved the art and put the frame.

I'm like, swapping one art for another.

Should be paragy.

I have so much to say.

I got got a 43-inch TV.

So small, right?

Which is small.

You guys.

Yes.

It was so expensive.

I saw a picture of it.

You guys, it was so expensive.

I'm like ashamed.

And like, TVs, like these days, you can get a TV for cheap.

Like, they're really, and they're still good quality.

Like, I don't really like it.

Yeah, you can get a really nice TV, a couple hundred dollars.

I don't believe in like needing 4K.

The TV in my bedroom is like seriously 11 years old and it's amazing.

I don't believe in, but you know what?

I got on board with the hype train and boy, am I regretting it.

Here's what they don't tell you about the Samsung frame: frame.

The frame is sold separately.

So I have a TV on my wall.

I have a black TV.

Like I'm, I'm so confused.

It's literally a TV.

So then you have to get a frame.

Which I did, but like, I thought the whole point of buying this expensive TV was that it doesn't look like a TV.

But the thing that doesn't make it look like a TV is sold separately.

But you also said like the non-reflective

time-saving piece.

I want to say, I put on the art last night.

It looked like a TV.

It looked like a screen.

It didn't reflect.

Yeah, it's not reflective, but it wasn't that special.

So now I understand why people just get frames made, like actual frames, for their just regular televisions.

Duh.

And then they leave the screen black.

Black, or you can like go to YouTube and put on an art.

Yeah.

And here's the other thing they're going to tell you about the Samsung frame TV.

The art is not included.

You have to pay for it.

There is free art, but you get what you pay for it.

The free art is putting the free in art.

Yeah, no, it's certainly what you pay for.

So we want like the greats.

I went on the

thing and they had like a little gallery from the Met.

I'm like, oh, this is fabulous.

I get it.

Like this is really cool.

I chose this gorgeous Monet, you know, lilies.

They're like, here's your 30 second free trial $4.99 a month if you want it.

Now, I have been told like a lot of hacks, you know, you can download art illegally and just like upload it as a photo.

Like I like I know.

I didn't spend all this money to be doing back alley shit, you know?

I think that a lot of people sit on, you know, where I sat for a while.

Should I get the frame?

Should I get the frame?

I'm here to tell you you shouldn't.

Should you get a frame for your old ass TV?

Yes.

Well, let me just say, because I also have a frame and since we're having a referendum on the frame, I will say that I love my frame.

I actually don't even optimize it because I keep like every time I go to put on a nice piece of art, I pick one and then it still goes back to like this same thing I've been looking at for two years.

And then yours is literally a screensaver.

Yeah, it is a screensaver.

And then I just like forget about it and I forget that I have a frame.

So that's kind of like a me problem that I haven't optimized it.

But I love it so much.

I was just saying to Claudia, I want a frame for my bedroom.

Like, I love the way that it looks.

Even if it doesn't look like an actual Monet, like Rathamette, duh, we're not.

It's better looking than a television.

I just think in this day and age, the fact that there's not like a solve for televisions, like they're really so ugly and all your furniture is like directed at it.

You, you, you really like you, you design your whole apartment or house based on where the TV goes in each room.

It's insane.

So the fact that there hasn't been some sort of like, I want like a collapsible TV that like folds in half and I could just put it in the drawer, you know?

Like the fact that we haven't evolved in terms of like either hiding or beautifying the television, the best we have is the frame.

Well, I've seen the best and I'm here to tell you, it's not that great.

I think it's as advertised.

No, I don't know.

I do have really high expectations, but I feel like I got mine at a point where it's like, this can't be real, can it?

Like, it really is not going to look like a TV.

Like, I was still disbelieving.

So whatever it did do, I was like, hey, that's better.

But you were expecting the Met.

Well, for the price, I was, yeah, I was expecting the Met.

And your expectations were not met.

That they were not.

However, just think about what that wall would have looked like in your house if it was just like a black TV.

And because of the size of it, like...

That's literally what it looks like.

It's a black TV.

And you know what?

Okay, I understand, like, and people have really beautiful frames.

The picture you sent me was nice.

They get like beautiful, like, custom bezel.

And that I understand maybe you purchase extra.

But the fact that the baseline TVs don't come with like a little gold frame or white, it's disgraceful.

Like, seriously, Samsung, do better.

In this economy, it's disrespectful.

I'm sorry.

In this economy, like, Samsung's got to meet their needs too.

Like, frames are going to be.

Samsung survives.

And they do, actually.

They're made of wood.

And I think that.

I would be a much more endeared consumer to Samsung if they took this feedback.

Because everyone I was on Instagram, they were like, no, I know I was freaking out when I found out too.

I think it would behoove them, seriously, would go a long way with the consumer.

Like, I am not endeared to ever buy another frame.

Okay, what is Samsung TV?

What if there was a free frame that comes with a frame TV, but it's not like the Gargie one?

No.

You still would have to pay more

nice.

Like crazy bezel.

No, not crazy.

Like say that it comes with a standard white, white frame.

Fine.

But you wanted the teak one, the wood one, and you still had to pay for that.

That would have been fine by you?

It It would have been fine by me, but I also think the price of frames is absurd.

It's four pieces of metal that all get magnetically held together, and it's over a hundred dollars.

Like, I'm sorry, that should be 25 bucks.

But you could get one on Etsy, you said.

They're still very expensive on SC, but they're less than like the classic, like the OG ones.

I'm just saying, this whole system is disgusting.

It's designed to really exploit the American consumer.

And I'm speaking on behalf of consumers everywhere.

Like, I've had enough.

So, are you going to return the TV?

No, it's already like mounted mounted in everything.

Okay.

And it's better than like the regular TV, but it's not great.

Okay.

Well, hopefully, it'll grow on you.

I think once I get like a frame on it, it'll change my whole life.

No, see, that's the problem.

It's not going to change your whole life.

And

the expectations are too high.

So then when it doesn't change your life, you're like, this is terrible.

Like,

it'll be nice and not like an eyesore.

That's

that's the expectation.

Every time I get something new in my life, whether it's big or small, like a new pair of clothing, a new, like seriously, like a new pair of tights, I'm like, oh my God, my life is going to be changed.

My wardrobe is going to be changed.

And sometimes like you do get a new bag or something that really changes your day-to-day.

Yeah.

But for the most part, like I really, I do.

You're right.

Like I have high expectations for the most mundane random things.

Yeah, and it's hard to meet those.

Yeah.

And then you're disappointed.

So it's better to start lower.

I find.

To be me.

sorry sorry to burst your bubble

well

let's not let's not go down a dark hole it's so easy to also like was that the tell me lies recap because I don't think I had much more to say too and I figured we have like queenie and weenie at the end I really do like to wrap up the show

I do feel bad for anybody who like doesn't watch or got spoiled um nothing happened we didn't spoil anything maybe

We literally didn't spoil anything.

Yeah, that was the recap, like, of Secret Lives and that was our Hulu recap because I love to end the week on Queenie and Weenie, and I have really good ones.

Very male-dominated week for Queenie and Weenie this week, for me at least.

Ooh, love that.

Yeah.

Well, let's get into the fast five stories, shall we?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because now without further ado, do it,

it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know.

And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Prolon.

Did you know that there's a nutrition plan that doesn't just help you lose weight, but actually has been shown to lower your biological age score?

It's called Prolon by El Nutra.

And here's the craziest part.

It's a fast that includes food.

So introducing Prolon, a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes your body while making cells believe that they're fasting.

It's researched and developed for decades at the University of Southern California Longevity Institute, and it's backed by leading U.S.

medical centers.

Prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, supports cardiovascular health, and reduces abdominal fat.

Prolon is not a diet, it is science.

It's based on Nobel Prize-winning discoveries in medicine, and all of it starts with their five-day program.

It includes snacks, soups, beverages, and they are all designed to keep your body in a state of fasting while not actually fasting because, like, who can do that except Yolanda?

So it's really unlike anything you've ever experienced.

If you're not one for crazy diets and fads and you've never tried a fast of any kind, Prolon by El Nutra doesn't just help you lose weight.

It can also help you lower your biological score.

So there's been a lot of hype.

I feel like a lot of people on social media are always talking about Prolon.

I feel like celebrities love it too.

So this might be the sign that you need to

check it out because when most of us think about fasting, we think about being hungry and exhausted instead of feeling rejuvenated and energized and that's why prolon by el neutra was created it is a total game changer and right now they are offering toast listeners 15 off their five-day nutrition program at prolonlife.com slash toast that's p-r-o-l-o-n life.com slash toast for the special offer

Our first story in two parts, a little Brittany news.

Brittany is making news as she disses Sabrina Carpenter's weird VMA performance.

So Brittany took to her Instagram to give a little recap on the VMAs.

Very, very toasty of her.

She said, quote, quote, I didn't watch the VMAs, but I did see stuff on my phone from YouTube of Sabrina Carpenter.

She said, why is she kissing an alien on stage?

She emphasized that she does adore Sabrina and loves her to death, but she was still perplexed by

Sabrina's decision to make out with an alien halfway through her performance.

She said, I didn't understand that part.

Why didn't she kiss a girl?

That was weird.

Then later in the video, she said she was surprised to hear Sabrina pay a wife.

I think the alien was a girl, but sorry, continue.

I think the alien was a girl, too, but more on that in a a moment.

More on that later.

So she also, Brittany was excited because she said, This Sabrina girl said my name on the red carpet.

And I thought that was kind of cool.

I forget I'm famous sometimes.

L-O-L.

I feel like the VMAs were like, we were, oh, so this is actually a great segue.

Jackie and I yesterday posted an episode on Patreon, video and audio episode, where we did like a deep dive into the VMAs, like the biggest moments in VMA history.

There are so many.

And like, if we were doing the toast at that time, we gave our recaps of like what we would have said and then also the impact on the culture, like Taylor and Kanye.

Like there are actually so many.

It was such a good episode.

learned a lot we discovered so many new iconic vma moments that like kind of don't get enough shine and we were seriously not okay so definitely check that out on patreon but yes what we learned from the patreon is like i feel like brittany and the vmas like are one big circle same for madonna yeah but brittany really was like the poster child of the vmas for so many years which is why so many of the new pop girlies like reference her a lot so to hear her take on the vmas and it's funny because she's watching she's talking as if like she's never been there before and i think she forgets um

how big she is a part of it because she also said in her video i'm a mom i'm kind of old but that was kind of cool this sabrina girl carpenter thanks that's cool she made me cool it's like no you were the coolest she's trying to be like you uh britney literally coming for our next with these instagram stories like pop culture commentating

um now i think like

if this were anyone else you would hear this and be offended right like somebody who sabrina Carpenter looks up to a pop girl being like, Oh, this was weird.

But, of course, there are allowances for Britney.

And in her own sort of strange way, overall, this was a compliment.

It was.

And honestly, like, on its face, kissing an alien is weird.

Like, that is not even a subjective statement.

Like, that is factual.

I mean, I'm with Brittany.

Up until yesterday, I didn't realize it was a reference to like the Moonman VMA saga.

Britney would know that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Would she?

I, well, I would, I would think so.

But yeah, no, it is weird to kiss an alien, which is why she did it.

Right.

Like, look at us.

We're talking about it days later.

Yeah.

Like, it's not expected.

So I feel like Britney was on the nose with that.

Yeah.

I think we should have Britney on once a week to do like Britney.

Like, that's the way Britney sees it.

I think like, actually, like, e-news or Entertainment Tonight, like, should have a segment where Britney does pop culture.

Like, yeah, people will lose their jobs and people will will be offended, but like,

no, this is the kind of unfiltered take we need, right?

I feel like we're always talking about how, like, we can't even, the culture is so sensitive, something like fashion police can't even exist anymore because criticizing someone's outfit is considered mean now.

Yeah, um, and Britney just like actually lives on a planet all of her own and she doesn't give a flying fuck.

So, you would you need someone like that.

We don't have the Joan, like the people like that don't exist anymore.

Yeah, we need Britney, someone who's just really so on their own level

to come and call it like she sees it.

Also though, some other Britney news that was very exciting.

However, a little bit confusing because her youngest son, Jaden, just turned 18.

So it was reported that she will now no longer be paying child support to Kevin Federlein.

However, she actually is still paying child support because

there is a clause in their agreement that the child support payments for Jaden cease when he either turns 18 or when he graduates from high school, whichever is later.

And so he's still in high school.

He's set to graduate in November, so the payments would end then.

This is where like the Britney folks and I, we, we part ways.

People hate Kevin Thetterline.

They call him a couch potato.

He hasn't worked in years and he just collects Britney's checks and

lives off the land.

And I want to say that is 100% true.

But not enough is said for the fact that like that man, those kids live with him full time.

He sends them to school.

He raises them.

Yeah, I'm Britney's dime and he doesn't work.

But you know, when Britney was not available and incapacitated and unable to do her motherly duties like he was the dad he was the person who stepped up so you know what you're never really going to catch me clowning on him like yeah literally hasn't worked a day in his life goals

yeah no not the importance not the ideal but just like Tom D'Agostino only dates women his own age, Kevin Federline is there for his children.

The bar is in hell for men in Hollywood.

And I want to say like, sorry, Kevin Federline is passing the Bechtel test for me.

Like, and it says a lot that those kids like chose to live with him.

And just like Dave Grohl said that he's going to say hi to his new baby sometimes.

The bar is in hell.

Kevin Federline took Britney's money and gave some to the kids.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe not all of it.

So by the way, he gets $20,000.

Well, it was $20,000 a month in child support, and then it was doubled in 2018 to $40,000 a month because they were in his care most of the time.

It wasn't like joint custody, but now it's back to $20,000 a month.

like okay

yeah that's a lot yeah no i think we can all agree like kevin federlein like is a bum you know yeah but

like for a lot of women like goals he's a bum for sure not not to be with kevin federlein but to be kevin federlein of course he's a 50s housewife i know what i'm doing right now

Holding space through the fact that Kevin Federline is a bum while also being a present father.

He is a committed dad.

And like for me, those kids like needing stability and they've found it in Kevin Federline.

Sorry, the Free Britney people, they lose me here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Everybody's celebrating.

Like he's running out of money.

You know what?

Actually, that's not good.

Well, now, no, now that they're 18, once they graduate from high school, like they could get a job.

Yeah, they can, but like, they're not financially independent.

No, or if they go to college, I'm sure she would be paying for college.

And then within college, like everything is mostly paid for.

Room and board and books.

Yeah.

Actually, books sold separately now that's a crock oh by the way books

books books in college if you ever got away with like not buying a book in college and like a seller yeah no and like you like found a couple of pages like that you needed online or and then like photocopied someone else like you know like that was seriously that was a class in and of itself the the grit and determination that you learned really could take you places in the real world Yeah, I'm going through that right now trying to find some new good cookbooks.

I'm like looking for samples because i i i need to see the inside of the cookbook to know if it's the right cookbook for me like what kind of recipe

what kind of business you run in right i might actually go business y'all in

i might actually go to the bookstore or the library to get a little samplay

because i want to know like what's your cuisine because a lot of these cookbooks like cook with ingredients i don't personally like yeah you know like

not gonna I'm not gonna make fun of any ingredient right now because you might like it, but

I like a couple classic classic cuisines.

Back to Kevin Federline.

He may be a bum, but he's a bum that we can count on.

If he's getting paid 20K a month minimum.

Yeah.

Period.

So that's what's new with Brittany.

I'm wishing her well.

Keep the hot takes coming.

We need that in this culture.

Like a little bit, a couple of hearts' truths.

And yeah, we love it.

And I feel like Sabrina loved it too.

Sabrina's like so not serious.

I think she's probably geeking over the fact that like Britney saw her performance, period.

100%.

Our next story is some more Father of the Year news.

Dave Grohl says that the woman's viral post about his love child is fake after admitting that he cheated on his wife.

So did you see this post going around of a baby?

Someone claimed that he, that, that she was.

No, I didn't see this.

Seriously, this woman saw an opportunity and took it.

I love it.

So someone made an account called Valerie Grayston with like a sweet hand.

Oh my God, I thought you were going to say Valerie Grohl.

No, no, wait, wait, with a sweet baby hands photo saying, my sweet Roxy Juni Grohl, being your mama,

has has already, but it's like the picture looks exactly like what Dave Grohl's mistress or any woman like who just had a baby would post with this.

Being your, Roxy June, Junie Grohl.

Being your mama has already been the most incredible experience of my life.

It is so funny to read this now knowing that it's fake because for a while like people weren't sure.

Every day I fall more in love with you in this new role.

Your daddy was by my side.

through the entire pregnancy, making sure we were both taken care of.

And I'm so grateful grateful for his love and support.

I'm sorry, this is so crazy that someone wrote this.

It is really funny.

Now, you're right.

Like, reading it is better knowing that it's not true because, like, you can see the intent behind some of the words.

But, like, giving your love child

the like deadbeat dad's last name is so crazy.

Groll.

Roxy Junior Groll.

Junior Cortez.

Cortez.

She's such a millennial.

Yeah.

P.S.

Roxy, every time I look at you, I see so much of your dad in your face.

It's like, it's like a little reflection of him in the tiniest, most beautiful way.

I just want to say, so Dave's team put out a statement to TMZ that the child in the picture was not his child and that this is fake.

But I just like want to hold space for the possibility that it's real.

See, and this is like real.

This is why he shouldn't have shared it with us.

When we broke the news a couple of days ago, we had said like, it's weird that he shared it with us.

Like, this is something he could have, like, seriously, it must have been coming out.

because when you open yourself up, like, things like this happen.

It's just the culture.

Also,

I feel like now is a referendum on Dave Grohl.

Like, people are digging into like everything he said in the last few weeks.

I saw like a headline, like, oh, he's getting Blake lively.

Dave Grohl gives an annoyed interview at Wimbledon.

Like, I feel like he just gives an annoyed interview, period.

But also, they're like

talking about his relationship with some like porn lady.

Ooh, a porn lady.

Dave Grohl's relationship with alt porn goddess revealed after he welcomes baby outside of marriage.

He was allegedly once spotted.

That I don't know.

He was one spotted getting cozy with this woman when he was married.

She does alt porn, A-L-T.

Okay, I'm looking it up.

Yeah, I guess we could just get a quick deck.

Oh, my God.

I'm literally getting like porn hub.

Okay, yeah, that's right.

Oh, alternative porn is a shortening, a subgenre of pornography that is centered around alternative subcultures like goth, hipster, emo.

Okay, that's like a crazy name.

So it's just like porn stars with black hair and dark makeup.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's like what I would have thought, but that's just seemed too simplified.

So

like the, okay, there's literally like tits on my iPad.

I have to go.

Never mind.

Yeah.

So now people are just like looking into everything Dave has done, which, you know.

I will definitely be interested to see, you know, how far this goes.

It's very much giving Blake Lively, and they took it really far.

Like they destroyed Blake Lively.

Like she'll be taking some time off for a while and she'll come back when we've all forgotten.

I don't think, I think like men get away with like like being rude more, and it's like, whatever.

But I just think, like, let's not

compare.

Like, let's see where the internet goes with Dave Grohl versus what they did with Blake Lively.

Yeah, another headline: Dave Grohl called

Jordan Blum.

Um, who is that?

I just saw her name somewhere.

His future ex-wife, years before cheating, and welcoming a baby with Mitch.

Like, a lot of people saying, like, things that he said in the last few years.

Just story.

Jordan Blum is a man.

That's what I thought.

Oh, yeah.

D-Y-N.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Foo Fighter singer Dave Grohl admits

Father.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's his wife, Jordan Blum.

Oh, so she called him his, her, his future ex-wife.

Ugh, I hate men who make jokes like that.

Like, uh, cheers to my first wedding.

Uh-huh.

Like, shut up.

Yeah.

No, those jokes, like, are like indicative, like, he's definitely the worst husband ever.

But the thing is, not my problem.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Totally.

Well, are you ready for our next story?

Number three.

Yeah.

Something interesting.

Tom Cruise's payday for his 2024 Paris Olympic stunt is revealed.

Did you see it?

It's either like an insane amount or a free.

It was free.

Tom Cruise pulled off his epic Hollywood stunt at the Paris Olympics for free.

The president and chairman of the 2028 Games in L.A.

raved about Tom's participation during the CNBCX boardroom game plan panel at Fairmont Miramar.

I don't give a shit.

Whatever that is.

I don't give a shit.

Are you going to tell me like his hotel number two?

That is so funny.

She doesn't care.

But Flora's Jan.

We really don't give a shit.

Anyways, this person named Casey, unclear if it's a man or a woman, said, he finished filming Miss and Impossible at 6 p.m.

in London, got right on a plane.

He landed in LA at 4 a.m.

and filmed the scene where he pulls onto a military plane.

This person raved at every step of the way, cruise got more involved and more engaged, and ultimately did the pre-tape stunt for free.

We're like, well, there's no way we're going to get this.

We're going to get four hours of filming time.

We'll do the thing with the Hollywood sign.

He'll hand the thing off and he's done.

And maybe we'll get the other stuff and the rest will just be a stunt double.

But five minutes into the presentation, he said, I'm in, but I'm only doing it if I get to do everything.

Classic Tommy.

There is a concerted effort, and I honestly feel like you're a part of it, to get me to like Tom Cruise.

I'm part of big Tom.

You, you literally are.

I am not buying it.

I'm part of Little Tom.

Like, cool.

And the thing is, like, why on earth would you get paid for this?

You're representing your country.

Like,

I don't know.

And we're supposed to think he's like some sort of hero.

Please, this person's a Scientologist.

I don't like it.

Just when my interest in Tom Cruise was waning, I was targeted another stunt video of his where he did his own stunt.

Did I send it to you of him like jumping up the pole with his hands backwards?

If you did, I ignored it.

Like, I'm seriously not looking to get infiltrated with Tom Cruise content.

Because to me, like, all I hear on repeat in my life that Tom Cruise does his own stunts, Tom Cruise does his own stunts.

Like I'm like, that doesn't mean anything to me.

I don't watch his movies.

So like,

but then when I see like videos of the stunts that he's doing, knowing like there's no double, he's going for it, I am impressed.

I'm impressed by the statement, Tom Cruise does his own stunts.

Now, maybe it's like me being negative because you hear Tom Cruise does his own stunts and you say, wow, that's amazing.

I hear, oh, he's putting stunt doubles out of work.

He's like needlessly making the insurance for a movie way more expensive.

He's putting people out of work, but he's also like putting himself in danger, risking the whole project.

Like, you're not a professional stuntman.

I guess at this point, he probably is.

But I don't know.

I just like, I, they can never make me like him.

And they are, and when I say they, I am including you, they are trying extremely hard.

The Olympic Committee, like, he, obviously, somebody high up at the Olympic Committee is also a Scientologist because I feel like, mark my words, like LA 28, we're going to have a lot of like Scientology Code.

Oh my God, do you see like little Scientology conspiracy theory about Sabrina Carpenter?

No.

Her auntie is a Scientologist, right?

Yeah.

So we talked about her auntie.

She's not a Nepo kid.

I don't, actually, maybe she is, but her auntie is the voice of Bart Simpson.

She's not anyone you guys would like know or ever hear of, but she's like an incredibly powerful woman in Hollywood and very successful.

And she's also a Scientologist.

And I think there's a lot of pressure on the Scientology community to her auntie to get Sabrina in.

So her fruit, Sabrina.

Sabrina has a lot of power with the youth right now.

And I think definitely Gen Z is.

Gen Z has grown up like watching those documentaries.

You can't fool Gen Z into joining Scientology.

So I think Sabrina would be a huge get for them so what's the theory that the empty is like working on

interesting i don't think it'll go that way yeah no i don't think so either but yeah i could definitely see la 2028 olympics like having a scientological sprinkle but like wouldn't that also be like reflective of the city you know everyone every city's their culture every city's like bringing what they're what they're known for their little special thing the thing why i don't think think Sabrina is susceptible to joining Scientology is because a lot of people, and I think the perfect example is like John Travolta, who was like, you know, having a little bit of success as an actor, but the second he joined Scientology, he got booked like on everything.

The timing was, it had nothing to do with Scientology, but he believed that it did.

And like now, I think that happens a lot where like people join and then immediately get success.

And Sabrina's having this otherworldly success without it, so she's not a believer.

What if she actually became a Scientologist six months ago?

Well, then that would be a flaw in my theory for sure.

Yeah, i don't see that for her me neither she really can't be tied down by organized religion no no no are you ready for our next story um

which is um couples we ship would ship news couples we would ship couples we would ship so a hypothetical ship just listen okay chet hanks reveals he had dinner with kim zolsiak after surreal life would move to georgia to date kim zolsiak some way by the way

wait wait wait.

First of all, ship.

Would ship.

Second of all, you're telling me Chet Hanks doesn't look like Corey Biern?

Because she's a type, Kim Biern.

Claudia, like, this is all making sense.

So the two of them.

Chet Hanks looks like he could be KJ's father.

And

the two of them were on a set of, you know, some reality

show, yes, on this show called The Surreal Life Villa of Secrets.

And Chet Hanks spoke to

page six on the MTV VMA Red Carpet, and he said meeting Kim Zolsiak was a highlight for Chet and that he's open to dating her.

So he said, One of the best moments of my life was meeting Kim Zolsiak.

He told Page 6 at the VMAs.

He shared that he and Kim have kept in touch since the reality show rap filming, and he even joined her and her girlfriends out for dinner in LA recently.

He claimed, however, that he and Kim are just really good friends, adding with a koy laugh, whether when he was asked if they're friends with benefits, the feelings are mutual, as Kim has actually said that he's a nice guy and smiled when Paparazzi mentioned his name.

He also said that he would absolutely move in order to date Kim.

He would move to Atlanta.

Yeah, because you know, they're going to have to take Kim Toltiak's cold dead body out of that house.

She is not leaving.

He lives in Nashville right now, he said, so it's not that far.

Not too far.

And, you know, Brielle's been spending a lot of time in Nashville.

I believe that's where her fiancé is based.

Okay.

Obsessed.

First of all, I didn't know that this was a couple that I needed.

And so you just put it right in front of me.

Like, first of all, they actually look so similar, like, they could be brother and sister.

Like, and that's how you know it's a good couple.

Like, this was how I felt about like Aurora and Paul Vernon.

Like, I never thought of them together.

This is how they make so much sense.

About like Prince William and Catherine of Wales.

Like it's giving timeless.

It's giving a great love.

I

also think like Kim Zolsiak needs access to a big trust fund.

She lives a very expensive lifestyle and I don't feel like working is her favorite thing, you know?

Yeah.

I think she likes influencing

showing off her nice things.

Yeah.

But I don't know if like being a business owner is like what she would choose if she had to.

So marrying someone with access to that, like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are two of the wealthiest people in Hollywood.

People don't even realize, first of all, Toy Story.

Second of all, they have like a huge production company, like some of the biggest, they're producers on My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Like they are, they have their hands in everything.

And he has been famous forever.

Yeah.

And how many kids they have, like two or three?

I don't know.

Chad is the only one who stands out.

But I do think it's like, when I think of like red carpet photos of their family, like I do think there's two others not including Chad.

I feel like there's one other.

Tom Hanks children.

Three.

Oh, four, excuse me.

Oh, four.

Right, that Colin from

Classic.

House Bunny.

So the famous ones are Chester and Colin.

Chester.

Chester.

Chester is his real name, but we call him Chet.

Oh, I'm like, which, okay, Chester is Chet.

Great.

Then there's Truman.

We need to talk about Rita Wilson and Tom and how they named their kids.

I feel like they really kind of did really

beautifully.

Like, they went old school.

Their daughter's name is Elizabeth.

Garchy.

Truman, Chester, and Colin.

Like very old world.

Lovely.

And now, obviously, like we think of Chet as, you know,

but

Chester is beautiful.

Oh, so Elizabeth and Colin

are not Rita's.

They are from a previous marriage.

He was married to Samantha Luz.

So Truman and Chet.

Chet belongs to Rita.

Yeah.

Her

finest accomplishment.

I love that.

And also, like, of course, I do think Chet and Kim make a lot of sense for the reasons that we established.

But like, I could also see Kim at family dinner.

And I could also see her like kind, like, going for Tom.

No, no, no, no.

I think that if she, once she got in the family, she would not fuck it up.

But I could see her and Rita like definitely kikiing at the holidays.

Oh, no, I see her and Tom

a little too much kiki.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm telling you, you're making it nefarious and gross.

No, no, no, no, no.

That makes it more age-appropriate, by the way.

Oh, yeah.

What is the age you have here?

Actually, I guess Kim is

younger than Tim.

She's 46.

Chet is 34.

And then Tom is like 60 plus, right?

Yeah, I want to say like 64.

68.

Yeah, so she's closer in age to Chet.

She is.

And you know what?

We also don't give Tom Hanks enough credit for, you know.

For birthing Chet.

Well, of course, it's like literally his greatest accomplishment.

No, for like staying married to a woman his own age.

Now, there are a lot of rumors about Tom Hanks.

I feel like the blind items like love to pin all of the wrongdoings in Hollywood on Tom.

He's a big one.

I don't know if we need to be giving you credit.

I'm just saying, for what I know, like not based on the blinds, like he's married to a woman his own age.

And that's admirable.

It is.

I guess.

He's giving Tom D'Agostino.

It is.

No, but it's really not.

Because like,

yeah, Tom D'Agostino doesn't have his name in the blind.

Sullied.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But Tom Hanks was Sully.

And that is eternal.

Yeah.

So at least he always gave us that.

We'll always have Sully.

Thank you, Claudia.

You're welcome.

Our fifth and final story is actually another potential couple news, and it's one of my favorite tropes, which is Jenna Bushager trying to set up Hoda with celebrity guests who come through the Today Show.

Queen.

And this week, Jenna Bushager is trying to set up Hoda with Lenny Kravitz after they hold hands on the Today Show.

I see it.

I see it.

Jenna Bush Hager is not giving up on her dreams of making a romance between Hoda and Lenny a reality a day after performing at the vmaze he went on the today show to perform some of his beloved hits wait wait wait we didn't even recap his performance it was really amazing

did i see it oh maybe not i think i didn't recap it it was pretty stellar and i love that like everybody loves lenny kravitz like young people old people and then also everyone in the audience and you really forget like because you if you were to ask me like what is leni kravitz singing i'd be like i don't know um he's zoey's dad but then you hear the songs you're like oh yeah this classic tune yeah classic tune crushed it he should have performed with katy parry like they did at the super bowl no i don't think that he should have i think it was a good him by himself like katie perry she went to perform one of her songs and i've watched her super bowl performance so much that like i was like where's lenny where's lenny on the beat i didn't realize he was there yeah yeah

anyways while he was performing um hoda was seemingly the most excited as she held his hand while walking onto the today show plaza later jenna uh teased hoda for dressing up in a cool leather studded suit for lenny kravitz day hoda said yes i I am.

This is new, this little top.

I decided if you're going to have Lenny Kravitz on the plaza, who, by the way, is he not the epitome of all of the things?

He's so kind and he's very hot.

Jenna added that he's also very talented.

So Jenna would not let this go, asking if

Lenny is interested in love in this new chapter.

Are you looking for love?

She said.

And he said, that's interesting.

I mean, always.

And Jenna said, well, I know the electric lady.

If you want her number, she's right here.

Like, everybody needs a wing woman like Jenna Shaker.

Has Lenny Kravitz dated?

Lisa Benet.

Of course, but like,

and Lisa is Zoe's mom, right?

Yeah.

Kylie Minogue.

Vanessa Paradise.

Classic.

You know who that is, right?

Johnny Depp's ex-wife.

You see, Johnny Depp got new teeth.

I heard that Johnny Depp got new teeth, but I didn't see them.

Because I said to you as a story, I guess Johnny Depp's teeth are not as important as Jenna Shaker, but he got new teeth.

Let me tell you, he looks so hot.

Well, he got the teeth like last week, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me see.

I feel like.

Because do you remember when his teeth went viral?

They literally looked like George Washington, like wooden teeth.

Yeah.

I feel like he has lived a life of just like partying, smoking cigarettes, and eating ice cream, and he got new teeth.

Do you ever see those videos, those pictures of babies that people like will Photoshop their newborn baby to have like a set of teeth?

Yeah.

And seriously, it's one of the funniest things to me.

That is what I imagine when I think of like Johnny Depp with a new rack, like missed, like out of place, great set of teeth what are they doing on this baby no it was time and I have to imagine that means he's getting more work as an actor because like if you have teeth like that you obviously don't care about

I disagree I feel like you need teeth like that if you want to be in any sort of period piece like the way that people have

he wants to be in only period pieces you can always make your teeth technically in period like really when you think about like even pirates of the caribbean is technically a period piece like he's never playing like a modern businessman i guess but i think it's better to have like nice looking teeth that you can make look ugly for a movie versus like ugly teeth that you can't make look nice.

I guess, but yeah, I don't need to see your chompers in the 17th century.

Like, get those wooden teeth out or go home.

We're getting, we're getting, is that so true, veneers in Downtown Abbey?

Like, get out of here.

You know who else he dated?

First of all, so many people that we need to go through every single one of them, but Natalie and Breglia.

Nothing's fine, I'm told.

I'm all out of faith.

Such a good song.

Also, Adriana Lima.

Hmm.

Also, Nicole Kidman.

So what I'm sensing is he really doesn't have a type.

He likes like a beautiful, dynamic woman.

I like that.

Yeah.

And yeah, and it's almost like he, and they're all beautiful, but it sounds like he's looking for somebody who's beautiful on the inside.

Yeah, because all of them are really, well, he likes an artist.

Yeah.

He likes a good artist, too.

You know, he's not just a Hoda.

Hoda is a yapper.

And not every man like can, can really stomach being with a yapper.

We are a unique blend.

And so I think it's really important.

I think it's good to have somebody like JBH in her corner, like advocating, because women who are yappers, like we're a different breed and we need a certain amount of,

we need a special type of guy.

It can't just be anyone.

It's true, but like I yap for a living, right?

But in my personal life, like I'm not much of a yapper.

I do think like Hoda is more akin to you where she's just like Hoda everywhere she goes, but there's a chance like,

privately, like she kind of is done talking.

No way.

But there's a lot of people.

What does it agree?

Like what i'm just saying like you have to think about hoda sat next to kathie lee gifford for 15 years like she's a yapper yeah

some things are just eternal yeah so she needs like someone who can absorb all that yapping yeah it's a lot so i actually don't know if letty kravitz is the one but i do ship I see, I see the vision, but I just, I don't think it's, it's right.

But I love this project of like set Hoda up with the famous guests on the show.

Yes, but we also need to be, we don't want Hoda to like fall in love with somebody who lives somewhere else else and leave the show.

She needs somebody quintessentially New York.

Letty Kravitz is not.

I feel like

RB.

Literally.

He dates age-appropriate women in New York.

She needs to go to some of those conventions with Bethany.

Yeah, as a plus one.

Yeah.

Well, actually, she could probably go on her own accord.

Yeah, but that's like where the businessmen go.

Yeah.

Anyways.

Hoda finding love.

Like, she needs a reality show.

Literally, like, Bethany Ever After.

She needs like the Bachelorette.

Golden Bachelorette.

The Golden Bachelorette.

Yeah.

Okay, so those are the fast five stories.

Before we wrap up today's episode, every Friday, Jack and I love to play a little game that we call Queenie and Weenie of the Week, where we give out an award to somebody who acted like a queenie this week and somebody who acted like a weenie this week.

Now, keep in mind, it's not that serious.

It's a seven-day title.

One day you can be queenie and the next day you could be weenie.

It's really not a big deal.

So don't get down if you find yourself being nominated for weenie of the week one week, okay?

Mm-hmm.

My queenie of the week.

There were a lot of queenies this week because a lot was happening this week but someone who i just think had such a great week i'm so proud of her and as someone who has been streaming skin since day one i'm proud to say my queenie is sabrina like the vmas were the sabrina mas and she crushed it and i'm very happy for her I agree.

It's kind of been like queenie of the year for maybe at the end of the year we should do who like what year.

I like that.

Remember.

Okay, I will.

My queenie of the week, like I said, I'm having a very male-dominated queenie and weenie of the week this week.

Mine is John Bon Jobi, like out here saving lives while also making music videos and not being like a Schnurra about it, like not doing media.

Like, yeah, look what I did.

I saved a life.

Hey, look at me.

Yeah.

We wouldn't even have even known this if that CCTV footage wasn't linked.

Like he's not like a

like a

annoying like that.

So all elements, in addition to obviously the big one, like saving someone's life, huge.

Love that.

Then my weenie of the week is actually a tie, but they're coming from the same place.

So I want to give it to both of them.

And I'll start with the more serious one, which is Zach from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Like utmost weenie behavior.

I think like everybody is just like seeing this and he is the weenie for like very good serious reasons.

But then like my more fun weenie is Whitney from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

You know, when it was discovered.

When it was just like girly swirly drama.

One, when I discovered the RSV video, which like made things really hard for me, but I have been enjoying some of her other content.

So like I'm, I'm trying to give grace because I can see how she ended up making that video.

Like I could see how things got too far for her.

But she, her behavior on the show, just like being like such a victim and such a mean girl, like cackling the fruity pebbles, while also like, if you want to be like that mean.

I watched the fruity pebbles last night.

If you want to be a mean bitch, like be it all the way.

Then don't like start crying and being like, woe is me when like anyone tries to have a conversation with you.

Like that's not cool.

No, also that's actually very meaning.

Being the mean bitch while also being like very pious and religious and looking down on other people.

Everybody knows like truly religious people are very welcoming of others.

Like that's what

the good book says.

In any religion, that's what like the Lord or whatever your Lord is would teach you like to accept all as they come and like not be judgmental just because like I keep Shabbat and you don't like so she's kind of like the worst Mormon ever because I don't know the book of Mormon, but I know it probably preaches kindness and grace, right?

Yes.

And then also she did something that I watched last night that really, really bothered me because right after that whole thing with Jen and Zach and the things that he said to her, she wasn't on the trip, but her husband was talking to one of the guys and he found out what happened on the trip and he told Whitney like, oh my gosh, Jen, like, she got reamed out by her husband.

He called her a terrible mother, said he was going to take the kids

and move to his mom's house.

And Whitney was like, well, I don't care.

She was like, and I believe that because she's a bad friend.

Oh, literally, like, I'm watching this like 10 months later as someone who doesn't even know these people.

I had a pit in my stomach and you're there just doing arts and crafts with your daughter.

Like, don't give one shred of a shit of like, what this girl who you were at her birth, your baby birthing blessing cried a few weeks ago.

This girl didn't do anything to you.

Whitney's mad because she unfollowed all the girls on Instagram, including Jen, and then nobody called her to find out what was going on with her.

Like after she unfollowed them, like that's classic Whitney.

So that's just like textbook weenie.

Agreed.

Text.

Now, I was split on where to give my weenie, but I think I'll stick with the male rocker genre.

It's Dave Grohl.

Obviously, cheating on your wife and like not even being smart about it, right?

Like using a condom.

Like you're literally dumb, dummy of the week.

And like when you're out here like having skeletons in your closet and then weeks, months, maybe, no, weeks ago, you're like out here pointing fingers at others, like making rude comments about other artists, Taylor Swift.

Like that's weenie behavior, knowing what you've got going on.

Right?

So love it.

Weenie at

Weenie Behavior.

Now it's a seven-day title, so Dave Girl might be my queenie next week.

Let's say he, you know,

I actually thought we might have a benefit concert for the hostages or something, you know?

Queenie.

Right.

Queenie Behavior.

It was also, I almost made Lindsay Hubbard our queenie of the week because she was our first guest back.

And we literally did had her on because we've literally made her queenie of the week four weeks in a row, but it's enough.

Yeah, it would have been full circle to have her be queenie again.

Yeah.

So that's our show.

That's our 37th week.

Big 37.

The big 37.

Should we get like a like a calendar or just like a calendar?

We need like a lot of things.

We need the day of the week, of course.

We need like the number of days in the work week this week.

Like is it day one of four or two of five?

Right.

Right now we're five of five.

We need the week number of the year.

Five slash five slash 37.

And then we need what number episode this is.

Yeah, I think this is like our 170-something episode of the year.

Oh, of all time.

It's like our

1,300-something, yeah.

And we need to count because we're going to get to a milestone soon and we should like throw a party.

I don't know.

We'd love to just find little reasons to celebrate minutiae.

We love to celebrate small things and forget to celebrate big things.

That's classic us.

Well, that's our show, classically, in a low-key sense, of course.

Thank you guys so much for listening to the Toastmaster Money.

Oh, I just want to say, update on this pillow.

Incredible.

Send me the link.

Apparently, I used it backwards yesterday, and I still felt like it worked.

But like, seriously,

you know, when we, Jackie, you know, when we get up from the show, I'm always like, it takes me like 30 seconds up to the million.

No, that's where I'm at right now.

Send me the link.

Bitch, I put it on my Amazon affiliate.

Like, girl.

Oh, I kind of wanted to check how many clicks.

Because a lot of people.

I'm going to put it on your story.

I'll go get it.

Do you think we'll be able to retire off of y'all?

I don't think people have this issue like us, and that's the problem.

No, they do.

Because this pillow is good for sciatica.

For tailboat.

People have it.

No, that's me, sciatica, allegedly.
