Patriotic Ingrid Andress Stans: Tuesday, July 16th, 2024

Good morning, millennials, and welcome back to the toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Thank you for choosing to spend the day with us.

It means the world.

It means so much.

Good morning, tert lennials.

Good morning, tert lennials.

Are you a tertilennial?

You're giving moldy energy.

No, no, no.

I am a tert lennotial.

I'm giving tertifile energy.

Are you a tertilenial?

I'm a tert lennial.

Okay.

I'm a jackslennial.

We are so excited to be here with you guys.

Just another beautiful episode.

Swirly Summer.

Hope your summers are off to a swirly start.

Yes, we are settling in nicely to the summer of the swirl.

The summer of the swirl is just getting started.

And it's so us because pretty much every day we get on the show, we talk about swirly summer at a glance, which is the most on-brand thing for us, just sort of where we're at, swirly summer, how we're feeling.

I think that's a part of swirly summer, though, is taking the temperature every day.

That's incredibly swirly.

And it's something that you can come to expect.

And what's more comforting than like knowing what's going to happen next?

And I think it's important for us to really see where we're at yeah to acknowledge the space that we're in and to identify that space do it no matter how painful no matter however today it's not a painful space it's a beautiful tuesday part of a a wonderful week it's a little painful we um we record oh we record in my bedroom i guess yes physically it is a bit painful my bedroom is uh a place that i you know like to tailor to my needs so the air conditioning is always on the lowest possible setting.

We were just sort of gifted this morning.

We'd be on the highest, lowest temperature.

We were just sort of gifted this morning

with a broken air conditioning unit, which is obviously not ideal for my sleep schedule.

You guys know how I am.

And then also not ideal.

We're recording under these big bright lights, big silly.

So

at this very moment, the air conditioning is off.

It's 77 degrees in this room.

It's warm.

That's like what you were trying to say.

It's extremely warm.

And I feel like if we do start to get like veer into like a little bit of like crazy, moldy conversations today Just know it's because of the air conditioning and I just want to say I do feel like the universe is trying to get me like to challenge me in my podcasting Every day is more challenging than the next like one day it was the audio today.

It's the air conditioning other days.

It's the lighting.

It's like why can't this makeshift piece of shit studio ever just work out?

No, or like yesterday

challenges to a short time.

So what if I went out yesterday?

So if you're watching on YouTube, you know like it was super delayed.

Every single day it's fucking something.

And I just want like, you know, universe, I'm fucking sick of it.

I am sick I've had it up to where oh here no it's like the podcasting Olympics but I do think we will prevail and we will win gold by the end of the summer speaking of Olympics when do they start so they start like the end of July July 26th and I just want to say obviously I'm excited that we extended our trip for a multitude of reasons but one of them is now being like we will be able to watch the Olympics together we were only gonna catch the first couple of days together when we were just vacationing through July so That is something I'm really excited about.

And I need them to like start like, you know, doing more programming.

It's low-key only 10 days away.

But also we haven't been watching TV.

So like if they have been doing programming, we haven't been seeing it.

And like Sabrina Carpenter is in a commercial now.

Yeah.

So I saw that.

I guess it's like Sabrina Summer, Olympic Summer, the two shall meet.

To update everyone on a story we discussed a couple of weeks ago, the Chamber of Gaming in Paris did jump in the scent to like make some sort of point proving that it was clean enough for sports to take place.

I think that was extremely brave.

I just like, what does one thing have to do with the other?

Just because you want to swim in duty doesn't mean other people do.

Yeah, different strokes for different folks.

Yeah.

So it's just another day in paradise or today, hell.

I think that's extreme, La.

I think it's extreme.

You're not as temperature crazy as I am.

No, and I do think you keep it like really cold in here and it's a while until like I'm even comfortable when it's cold.

But your studio in New York is really hot.

So just

transport yourself.

About temperature.

Okay.

Would you prefer to be really hot or really cold?

Cold, of course.

Yeah.

I don't think anyone would say otherwise unless they're like so skinny.

Oh, is that like a universal truth?

I think so for real ones.

Yeah.

If you choose hot, like you're just not a real one.

If you choose hot, you're seriously nuts.

Like that's insane.

There's like two kinds of people.

Literally.

Literally.

And I think we're very different.

And people like can be different, but we can coexist.

That's beautiful.

You want me to put that in a bumper sticker for you?

Coexist?

Yes.

You just got to look like the type of person who would have a coexist bumper sticker.

I do.

I would have a lot of bumper stickers.

You would.

A lot of stickers.

I would say my sister is a star.

Honk, if you're a toaster.

Of course.

New driver.

Stay away.

Back up.

Give me space.

I'm doing the best.

Jackie, you'd have a bumper sticker that simply just says, I'm doing the best that I can.

I'm doing my best.

Like, makes wide turns.

Makes wide turns.

The stories today,

I don't know them because you

selected them.

You were the curator of this affair, but I do know we're going to be talking about what happened at the MLB All-Star game last night

and the national disgrace from Ingrid Andres.

And I just want to let you know, like, I'm feeling really excited to talk about that.

I'm sure that you are.

That's kind of your favorite sort of story.

It is.

National Anthem Blunders.

However, I am feeling like a little torn because you know how much I love Ingrid Andres.

And I just wish it wasn't her.

I wish it was someone that I could

slam unabashedly.

Yep.

You guys know, like, we, and I think for a lot of people, hearing, the name Ingrid Andres yesterday was the first time they'd ever heard it.

Not for us, because she's actually a really amazing country singer, songwriter, girly swirly.

Now, I will not let my feelings for Ingrid stop me from saying my truth, because I have some really harsh truths for Ingrid.

I'm going to say the truth for sure.

Just know I take no pleasure in it.

Thank you.

That's good to know.

Yeah.

Okay.

So it sounds like you want to get into it.

Like, no, I do want to dilly and I do want to dally.

Yeah, but you kind of just jumped right in.

I just wanted to kind of make a point to say I'm really excited to like drag her to Velf.

Okay.

In a sort of positive and uplifting kind of way.

Oh, in a unifying way?

I mean, there's really nothing that unites the country like a bad national anthem or a good one.

I was going to say, the only thing that unites the country more than a bad national anthem is a really good one.

Now, this conversation could take us down a myriad of roads, but let's just briefly.

I actually think the country is more united on a bad one.

Yeah.

Than a good one.

Because nothing brings like people together more than haters.

We are a nation of like true, true haters.

And that's why like I'm like an American.

I'm a proud American.

I'm a proud American.

And in all sense, I'm like a real American, you know?

Hate, hate, hate.

Because I just hate, hate, hate.

And first of all, like a good one, it's always pretty subjective.

And it's really hard, especially in modern times, to find someone who everyone would say, like, that was amazing.

And even when it is amazing, like, I do think that negativity is more motivating for people.

You know, it's like a Yelp review.

You don't leave a review when you've had a good time.

She's going off.

She's so right.

You only leave it when you've had a negative experience.

Or if you're me, you just don't leave one at all, ever.

Well, the thing about...

bad national anthems, I think it's also

an important factor is like how famous are you?

So that's why the Fergie one was so big because like she's super, super famous.

Last night was like an awkward thing where it's like, also we don't know you, you know?

But also it's a really big game.

Well, it wasn't like, it wasn't like a real game.

It was the Home Run Derby.

Yeah.

The HRD.

Yeah.

So it has, it's not just two teams like regionally playing each other.

Only the people from that state are really watching.

It was real had a national.

You know, Ben's friend Pete is like the king of the home run derby.

I think he, I don't know if he won last night.

I have to check, but he like wins all the time.

He was there and he was like on camera.

I need to to have Ben prod him for information.

Yeah.

He was like trying to keep a straight face.

That's the other part.

You know what?

We'll save that.

We'll save that.

Because also, it's like,

you might not be your favorite in the beginning, but in the beginning, it was like not bad enough that people could laugh.

But then it just really, really went downhill.

And it was seriously like a disgrace to the country.

It definitely was.

But the question I had wanted to...

I'm not sure if the military people who are standing there so serious, like after what they've seen, after what they've been through, and just like being audibly disgraced.

My question for you before we dive into Ben Gerd Dondres Andres was about national anthems.

Who, in your opinion, is the greatest to ever do it?

Well, like Whitney Houston is objectively the greatest.

Yeah.

And I wasn't really alive, so I just feel like a bandwagoner for saying that.

Yeah.

It's not an original thought.

I think a lot of people would consider like a modern, a contemporary version to that, that's the best to be Beyoncé's,

which is stunning as well.

Then I think the only person like from like the last maybe five or 10 years who would get, I wouldn't say he's the best, but he was definitely like in the top hall of fame fame is Chris Stapleton.

Yeah.

Lady Gaga, no, she did God Bless America.

Yeah.

That was a really good one too.

It was good, but she like definitely put her funky spin on it.

Which is okay.

Which is to say like it's not for everyone.

Which is okay for songs that aren't the anthem.

Yeah.

The anthem you have to stay classic.

You can do like special riffs.

Like Whitney like really added a couple of really gorgeous riffs in there, but you can't veer off course too much.

Yeah.

And I would,

I would sing my version of the national anthem right now, but I am a little bit congested and I have been getting some some feedback.

I've been better.

I've been getting some feedback that I'm like talking so loud on these microphones, blowing them out.

So I will just politely see myself out since everybody hates me so much.

We miss you, Turtleneel.

Oh, no, no, turty, we don't hate you.

Thanks.

No, turty, we'll keep your secret.

Come on, Curti.

We'll keep your secret.

We'll lower all volume when you're talking.

So just know, I do have an amazing rendition of, like, I speak, I speak very passionately on this subject because I know what it's like.

And maybe if you had a song that you were passionate about, you would know what it's like, but you don't.

However, However, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt in like one situation, which it's like the audio and the earpiece and all of that.

Like I would like to see, it's not, it's easy to sit here and just start singing.

You don't have like a band to keep up with and a different key.

You could switch keys.

Well, as somebody who like has zero live performing experience, I agree with you.

Ingrin Andres is somebody who plays with in-ear monitors all the time, who plays with a band all the time.

This is literally her job.

Yes, but that would be like you saying like, oh, well, like we can't live podcasts.

Like we can because we do it every day.

Do you know what I mean?

No.

And it's a different environment.

Like it's a stadium.

It's not her tech.

Like I'm just saying people are always touching me or just to let you know like this isn't my fault.

This isn't my plate.

So she joins the likes of, you know, Fergie, Hannah Montana,

and others.

I feel like there was someone else recently.

Who messed up the words or who's saying it poorly?

There's two different.

I love mess up the words.

Like seriously.

That's how dumb are you?

That's Hannah Montana.

And they literally put the words like on the screen these days.

Like there's no reason for you not to know the words.

Yeah.

So we will get into that, even though we already do that.

One of my favorite tropes.

One of my favorite tropes is just sitting on this couch with my girlie's really, oh, we need to talk about what we did yesterday.

Because you know what we did?

We shopped till we dropped.

I got this skirt that I'm wearing.

We just realized, you know, we would be spending a little bit of extra time out here.

And we wanted to spend the day together.

It was a beautiful day.

So what did we do?

We hopped into town and we just dropped and shopped and dropped and shopped.

We got some athleisure.

We got some fabulous dresses for our live shows because we do have options but they weren't great um so jack and i both purchased i like my options i need more i don't have enough dresses to get me through the summer we both purchased really cute dresses for the live shows from love check fancy and we'll wear them on the same night so it'll be like love check fancy night right we lsfn we got some athleisure we had lunch probably one of the worst lunches and one of the worst lunch experiences yeah it was a horrible experience it was like one of those places that's like you know what they called it on the on the restaurant and this is what stranberries is going to be and by the way i don't want we're not going to say i don't want to discriminate because there's nothing wrong with the place just like we didn't know that you need to order before if you want to sit there and you just pick it up and sit and eat and people didn't know what to order people had said like if you go and you don't place your order online before like it's like really slow and i was like prepared for like a slow it was also like a tuesday at two o'clock it wasn't like crazy lunch monday two o'clock excuse me and they really exceeded every one of my expectations in their shitty um service and and wait time it was like seriously and then we got our food and it was like bad Mine was really bad and I just got a Caesar wrap.

There's just nothing worse than like working hard for a lunch and the lunch doesn't lunch.

It was a total waste of time.

Like it hurts me to think of all the shopping that I could have done and all the things that what I could be wearing today.

Right.

If we didn't waste our time on that lunch.

It was a lunch wasted.

But they said like the place is described, they have provisions.

And I love a place that has provisions.

And I believe one day Stranberries will have provisions.

So I love like this age that we're in where like normal things get new words.

Like the new trend, provisions, that's a good one but also like if you're a pharmacy now you're an apothecary no but i think there are apothecary we're also just out here like i don't see it all started with it all started with rose's apothecary because it's a real thing it's a pharmacy okay no but the place we go to here is really an apothecary it's a pharmacy no but they have a it's not just a pharmacy they sell like makeup and cleaning products it's a it's literally a store okay like it's a market

it's not an apothecary an apothecary is like what like a witch like she would like get her Perhaps

she put David Badour.

David Levy.

Rose, Rose.

Rose, yeah.

Dan Levy.

Dan Levy didn't have witch's brew.

No, but they sold like potions and things, you know?

Yeah.

That's kind of a good name for an apothecary, potions and things.

Or witch's brew.

Yeah, witches of Weho.

Witches of Wehoe.

I like that.

So we're in our apothecary provisions era.

Oh, yeah, that's the other.

Okay, here's another one.

It's just like slow living tanks because you're not in a huge pharmacy department store.

You have to go to a specific store to get the thing that you need.

Here's another one.

And I feel like this happens a lot at hotels when they have like little

markets in their lobby that sell like sunblock and playing cards.

Sundry's.

Oh, Sundry's.

That's like provisions.

Yeah, Sundry's provisions, like apothecary.

I think that's what maybe Shranberry's Global will be.

Sundry's provisions and apothecary.

Like I see the word sundry and I actually feel warm.

Do you know what I mean?

Because I think of vacations.

That's how I feel about provisions.

Like that's the kind of food I like.

I like provisions food.

Provisions doesn't give me that warm, tingly feeling that Sundry's does.

Like, Sundry's, I'm just like, I'm on vacation.

I need Advil.

There's chips.

Yeah, it's like Advil chips, a comb.

There's Chips to the Cape.

I love chips.

Cape Cod chips should do an ad.

With Elle Woods.

And she's saying, oh, it's Chips to the Cape.

We were also,

we ate chips yesterday.

I had sour cream and onion chips.

Like, throwback.

Yeah, she's so.

interestingly palated.

Well, let me just say this.

It wasn't an original idea because I had lunch with Shannon while she was here a couple of days ago and we got got chips.

Like, I just got like normal chips.

I'm cracking.

And she got sour cream and onion.

And like, literally, me and Margo ate her whole bag of chips.

I was like, that's a good flavor.

She's influential to her core.

Yeah, literally, like even her chips.

Even her chips.

They were so good.

And then did you eat any of mine yesterday?

I had a couple.

They were good, right?

Yeah.

Sour cream and onions, just like, you don't think a sour cream and onion when you're like at a place getting a wrap or a salad and they give you a bag of chips with it.

Like you think like classic salt and vinegar.

I wouldn't think that you would like sour cream and onion.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

It's kind of a crazy thing about me.

I'm constantly feeling like I need to keep people on their toes, and that's why I had those chips.

And that is definitely shocker.

Shocker.

Shocker.

Shock to the system.

It's a shock to the system for sure.

I feel shocked.

You look shocked.

Like you're you guys.

Feeling it?

Feeling the shock?

Wait, do you feel that?

The shock.

So we've got a great show for you guys today.

I'm ready to dive in, Jax, if you want to.

I don't want to talk more about our favorite chip flavors because I could go on and on about salt and vinegar.

I know you could.

I think salt and vinegar is seriously one of the most disgusting stuff.

I would be so shocked if you did like it.

Yeah.

But you're missing out, like the way you feel about sitting down with like pretzels and a Diet Coke.

Uh-huh.

There is a similar experience, though a different taste.

Palate

board tastes bad with salt and vinegar and Diet Coke.

And like that is just like...

You are so wrong for that.

No, no.

No, I'm.

This is my truth.

I just don't think it's like natural

to open a bag of chips and like stink up a whole facility.

Do you know what I mean?

Okay, sour cream and onion does it.

They're so smelly.

They are not.

They're smelly.

They smell different than they taste even.

I actually, like a crazy thing about me, because I'm such a snacker, I don't love chips.

I know.

You always want like fries with your wrap when I think your wrap should have chips.

Oh, by the way, fries and chips are not like of equal merit.

I can't even guarantee that.

Things like, I don't want fries with my sandwich.

I would want chips.

You are so, so, so wrong for that.

I just say truth.

I think that's.

I'm right or wrong.

I think there's chips and then there's the baked variety of chips.

Baked lays, baked ruffles.

To me, those are the best things on the planet

that's still chips yeah no but like people like chips culture like lays

cape cod who actually eats yellow bag of lays a lot of people unless like they're being served it at fire festival a lot of people do and i just like i'm not into chips culture no i've said when we have kettle chips there's so many

well in the hand yellow bag in the hamptons i've noticed this because chips and like and chips as opposed to fries are like much more it's like a a northeast New England kind of thing.

There's chips everywhere you go.

And they love the brand HAL's.

Yeah.

Howl's not my favorite.

No shade to HAL's.

A little bit.

It's like, get after it.

It's under that market.

It's not my favorite.

I like Cape Cod.

I like that brand kettle.

You know, the big kettle.

Yeah, of course.

I like the like all-American.

These are sort of like regional brands you're mentioning.

I like the ones that are sold in Walmarts all across the country.

Tostitos, Lays, Fritos.

But what chips are you talking about?

You're saying you don't like regular Lays?

No, baked Lays.

Baked Lays.

Anything else are you talking about or just baked Lays?

Just baked Lays.

Oh, no, I like ruffles, sour cream and cheddar.

Ruffles.

They don't have those like even plain ruffles, like the wavy ruffles.

Gorgeous.

Absolutely stunning.

Yeah.

And there's nothing better than perfect chips, especially with a sandwich.

Jackie, I'm going to hold your hand when I say this.

There is nothing better than like a big all-American barbecue with that huge, huge like family-sized bag of plain ruffle weighties.

That to me is joy.

That to me is America.

That's like that sandwich place we order from by me.

Yes, they own a ruffle.

And they're right for that.

And they're right to know that that's the best chip for a sandwich or a wrap.

Because I also think that people take chips and they crunch them up for their salads, for their wraps.

And like that salty plain ruffle is perfect for that as well.

Now there is kind of a crazy thing that I don't do all the time and I kind of like should start doing it more is when you take a plain chip like that and you dip it in ketchup.

Yeah, we did that more when we were kids.

And that's like a brand of chip in Canada.

It's like super popular.

They have like ketchup coating.

I don't like that.

It's Heinz brand.

No, yucky.

Like you have to make it from scratch.

From scratch.

You can't have it pre-packaged.

Yeah.

And the lays are good for that, I will say.

Should we do like a Patreon chip taste test?

Okay.

Just an excuse to like go eat chips.

Yeah, and like get every chip under the sun.

Right.

We need to go to like a big all-American grocery store, not these apothecary, sundry provision places.

We need to go to Walmart.

Like we need to make the drive.

There's a Walmart like 45 minutes away.

We need to go.

Okay.

And we work hard.

Like that's just us being committed to our craft.

I'm so glad we had this conversation.

Yeah, no, I feel like we were just

cutting it off at its knees.

There was so much more to be said.

Thank you, Church Lenniel.

You're welcome, Jacques Lenniel.

Our first story, Ingrid Andreas botches the national anthem.

She's being roasted for her painful national anthem performance at the MLB Hallmark Derby.

So, Ingrid Andres is a singer-songwriter whom we adored up until 12 hours ago.

We still adore, but you know,

a lot of people don't know her.

We love that song.

You'd be breaking more hearts than mine.

I think it's one of like the best written songs in the last 10 years.

I agree.

Her whole album is amazing.

Her voice is beautiful.

Yep.

She's a wonderful musician through and through.

So maybe I'm best poised actually to speak on this because if this was someone I didn't know, I would be like, how are you working?

Who gave this person this position?

Can Carrie a tune?

So like, I understand how she got here because she has a beautiful voice every other day of the week, but I don't understand is how this happened and why this happened.

Why did what's what happened here?

Does she not, is she not as good of a singer as so she is on her album?

I don't know because I heard this and I thought to myself, it's time for a career change.

Singing is not for you.

It was like, it was crazy how you couldn't even hit one note right.

But to me, Ingrid Andress is someone who like would have had an illustrious career, like just songwriting, say if she really didn't have a good voice.

She only is like a front-facing musician because that's how like.

wonderfully she sings and writes music.

I don't feel like she's a pop star who was going to be a singer at note, come what may, and is singing other people's songs with other people's voices.

It's like, if she couldn't sing, she wouldn't be doing this at all.

So I don't think that she has a bad voice that she's been masquerading this whole time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't, she just wouldn't be a singer.

Yeah, I would like to play it for people if it's okay.

Like,

sick can

you see

by the dawn's early

light

what so proudly we feel

by the twilight

with a double whammy

whose bright shapes and bright stars

through the perilous

all the ramparts we watch

were so gallantly

streamed.

Nice part.

And the rocket spread glare,

the bombs bursting

there

gave proof through the night

that our flag was

still

a bad thing.

Oh, not the Whitney Houston one.

I think it's like part of the

way

o'er the land

of the free.

I just want to say these players are my heroes.

Oh my gosh.

It's really the second half where things really go off the rim.

No, the first half is really bad, too.

The first half is bad, but I don't know if it would have been like viral, crazy, just like not good.

Those players, seriously, who didn't crack a smile, are American heroes.

Now, I want to say this.

This is disgraceful.

Like, for real.

I love the national anthem, and I take it seriously, not to be like a theater nerd.

It's such a beautiful song, and there's so many beautiful people who can sing it beautifully.

This is unexcusable.

The world stage, the MLB, all-star, whatever the hell this was, is a big deal.

Yeah.

It's like, this is actually unacceptable.

I find it disgraceful.

I find it disrespectful.

She owes the country an apology.

She does.

Not only did she sing it atrociously, she also did mess up words, which obviously is like a subplot here because obviously the vocals are a little bit more.

And also, even if it sounded the way she intended for it to sound, like the breathy, like

is that Fergie tried to do.

Right.

But even if it was done well is what I'm saying.

Even if you sounded really good, but you're still like making the national anthem sexy and breathy, stop it.

No, Jackie's so right about that.

Even some of the best singers are not equipped to sing the national anthem.

That's why it's such a special song is because only the Whitneys, the Beyoncés, people with these really mega house voices can sing it.

So you're right.

Even if she did do it with the rendition she was trying to do, even if she did it perfectly, it's not the vibe.

It's not the vibe.

The baby voice, like stop it.

Agreed.

Frances Scott Key is rolling over.

Stop.

Yeah, Betsy Ross deserves more than this.

Yeah, we all do.

Now, I just think this is an important time for me to mention that a lot of people are comparing this to Fergie.

And I actually was in the audience.

I was in attendance for the Fergie National Anthem.

And we all knew in that moment, like things, we knew we were witnessing history.

And I was like, I i hope people are watching because like i and i if i ever downloaded and logged into my snapchat i would be able to find like my stories from that night because me and ben were dying it was so crazy and this is worse yeah it's only different because she's a lot less famous and like recognizable so people might not know like furgy was this you know one name wonder furggy That's the only difference.

But her performance is 10 times worse than Furgie's.

Yeah.

Because there is not one note that she truly hits.

No, there's nothing redeemable about it.

It's really bad.

And I just want to say, she looked in the footage, she looked like a little drunk.

I hope she was because I did it in the season for the season.

And I think it was a weird select anyway.

Like she's not the type of singer who, A, is famous enough for this sort of stage and B, who can carry that tune.

Like, but also what's so great about her music, it's not even her voice.

She has a lovely voice on her songs.

It's the songwriting and the whole picture.

She's known more, and I think she's more skilled as a song.

To give her this like belty song, it wasn't the best choices onto choice I would have made and it was actually worse than anyone could have imagined.

Yeah, like

we were so happy that day.

It's hard to imagine how terrible things would soon become.

When I think of who it could have done if they were going country, like Carrie Underwood, of course, has a powerhouse vocal, you know, ability range like that.

Not everyone can do it.

Yeah.

Megan Maroney, if they wanted like a more up-and-coming.

It's hard.

I don't even know if Megan Maroney's voice is right for it.

I'd have to hear her tape.

But this is just, it's unacceptable.

I'm sorry.

Where does she go from here?

Do you think that she can

bounce back and ever be more than this national anthem?

Well, Matt Rogers made a video saying, like, she is now being catapulted to a level of fame and success, like she could only dream of.

That she will be performing at like We Hope Pride next week.

She's like, about to become a gay icon.

So there is lore there.

And I have to say, like, they do say all press is good press.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know.

She is country.

Matt Rogers.

Las Culturistas.

Oh.

Not Bowen.

Las Colche.

Las Colche.

He's always the other one.

And he's always on Watch Open's Eye.

That's how I know.

And he's sort of like a commentator on culture, much like ourselves.

And he says that, you know, this is huge.

This is huge.

And he's not wrong in the sense of like, no, Ingrid Andres was really never going to be of national note.

And maybe people, yeah, because like I liked her too much.

Yeah.

And as you know, everything Jackie likes the category of like things that are, well, we're too good for this world.

They're really good and too good for this world.

But maybe people were like, who's Ingrid Andres?

Had she even got this?

And they go and listen to More Hearts Than Mine.

They're like, Oh, okay.

I could see how the choice was made.

Fine.

If you find yourself like your interest peaking in Ingrid Andres, might I recommend the song More Hearts Than Mine?

Yeah, it's like listen to the words, it's heartbreaking.

I can't wait to show you where I grew up,

running around the footsteps of my town.

Then you'll meet my high school friends.

A few months now.

Just sing the chorus.

What's the chorus?

If I take you home to mama, I guess I better warn ya.

She falls in love a little faster than I do.

And my dad will check your desires, pour you whiskey over ice and buy you fishing, but pretend that he don't like you.

Oh,

if we break up, I'll be fine.

But you'll be breaking more hearts than mine.

Still gives me chills.

No, I have chills.

Look at my leg.

Oh, yeah, look at us.

Chills.

The songs are good.

The song gives us chills.

We're an amazing singer.

You duo.

Right.

Should they go on tour?

So, what I'm saying, all is that to say

is that there is something there with Ingrid Andres, you guys.

Don't write her off just yet.

Sounds like in the comments, did you get chills too?

Because I feel like we gave everyone chills.

Yeah, collectively.

And like, Ingrid Andres, like, you owe us.

Yeah, you owe us.

But all is that to say, like, don't write her off just yet.

No, I won't.

Like, I'm going, I would have never watched the Homeowned Derby if this, if there was no internet, I wouldn't even ever know she did this.

And I could go back to being an Ingrid Andres stan and Patriot simultaneously.

Having said that, as an Ingrid Andres stan and a Patriot simultaneously, in order for me to move past this as a fan, she owes us an apology.

Yeah.

Like a thousand percent.

I want to give an explanation.

Drinking, drugs, blame it on the fork.

I don't care.

Yeah, blame it on the fork.

My husband was doing Fork of July.

So I was scrolling Instagram and I saw this series called Fork of July that disturbed me so deeply.

I wasn't able to emotionally recover prior to my performance at the home run derby.

I hope you can all understand.

Please respect my privacy at this time.

Literally say that.

Please respect my privacy at this time.

Thank you to the casting crew.

Yeah.

And the lighting.

Of course.

And craft services.

Of course.

Because it's always them at the end of the day who suffer.

It's so true.

So, blame it on the fork.

What's for Fork of July today?

Maybe we can put in a request.

I believe it's that pasta salad

that he made last night.

Like he banked some content.

He did post it?

No.

No, he did post it.

Then the salmon burger.

I don't want to spoil it.

Sorry.

Don't want to spoil it, but shout out to those salmon burgers.

The kids didn't make it enough.

Seriously, they were gone in a second.

They wanted more, more, more.

I had one on top of my tailored farms.

I did not have one in a shock to nobody.

I had a separate dinner made for myself.

We should make requests for a fodge today.

Sure.

Like, I'm still waiting on the Italian camper sandwich.

Yeah.

But I'm waiting when I want it for lunch.

It could be today because I didn't have breakfast.

Your husband had a good call, like a really good mac and cheese.

Yeah.

And then my husband, he sends me these videos of sourdough, which is great because like he's getting involved.

And there are all these creators who are like, can I sourdough it?

And they'll put like focaccia, like whatever, Oreo sourdough.

And this person put mac and cheese.

That's disgusting.

And he's like a serious chef.

So he like put mac and cheese on the inside.

He put it in a blender and sprinkled it.

The most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

Like, that's fine.

And I'm like to my husband, you really want that?

No, that's really burnt.

We get one loaf a day in this house.

And by the way, by the end of the the day, the loaf is completely gone.

Please don't ruin it.

Like, just leave it.

And at this rate, I can say, like, it's baked fresh gaily around here.

It's giving provisions.

It's BFD.

The provisions are BFD here.

And today, I am embarking on a cinnamon raisin roll.

If you guys are patrons.

Your coffee, your coffee.

Did we spill it?

Just a little bit.

Okay.

That was my fault.

If you guys are patrons, you know my husband has been requesting a sweet sourdough roll.

So I'm doing cinnamon raisin.

There's lots of talk about a potential cinnamon raisin loaf, which I'm not thrilled about.

You know, I don't like raisins.

But the loaf that I have proofing right now is two loaves, so you'll get your plain.

No, I saw a loaf,

the loaf that was baked fresh this morning.

Yeah.

It's plain.

Plain.

I saw it.

I don't know why.

Whenever the loaves are out and like uncut, I have to just walk by and like, this is going to be starting.

I do the same thing.

Knock.

I'm just like, oh, bread.

Like, I don't know why.

I have knocked.

I've literally, with my dirty hands, touch every single loaf.

I don't know why.

I'm just like, knock, knock.

Just to make sure, like, it passes the knock.

I'm like, oh, look at this.

Knock, knock, who's there?

Bread.

Knock, knock, who's there?

Dough.

Doe who?

Sourdough, bitch.

So just know, my dirty hands are all over like every single loaf that you've created.

But the good news is by the time we're done with this episode, the loaf will have cooled enough for us to cut into it.

And we will have like truly fresh bread that's still warm on the inside.

I'm glad you are bringing that up because I think there's just like one issue, not with your sourdough, but with sourdough in general.

How long you have to wait?

No, I don't mind that you wait, but like by the time you wait, it's not hot.

So like Jackie made a loaf that was like perfect temperature.

And I'm like, let's just fucking cut this bitch open.

I'm starving.

She's like, okay, but she told me it's like not the way to do it.

And it was good, but like in 30 seconds, the loaf had completely deflated.

They need to work on that.

Or could someone in the SD community let us know like, what's the amount of time we should wait after baking where if we cut it, it will still be warm, but it won't deflate because it's like done cooking because it's still like cooking on the end.

It's annoying.

Yeah.

So

I'll leave it at that.

I think that's a fair criticism.

Thank you.

I also like, I hate for waiting things.

I hate waiting for things to cool.

Like when you're baking cookies, like, and I know like at the end of the day, the cooling is such an important step.

Personally, it's not going to happen.

No, it adds hours to the sourdough process.

And just like torture.

But this morning I was up at 7.30, so I was able to preheat the oven, get it in at 8.30, and now it'll be perfect for post.

It's so good.

Your bread is so good.

I feel like, like, am I crazy or is everyone talking about your bread?

No, I mean, it's all my mentions and all my tags.

Like, you probably get tagged in what you get tagged in.

Yeah, I get tagged in like Kamala Harris's like super cuts of her falling out of a coconut tree and people calling me like a genocide supporter.

That's that's pretty much the extent of my mentions these days.

I get sourdough tips and tricks.

Have fun.

Yeah, it's pretty fun.

It's a fun community.

Yeah, it is, it is.

So, um,

also everyone drops talking about it.

Like, it's not just a feeling.

And everyone's also talking about Ingrid Andres.

It's Ingrid Andres and sourdough.

That's kind of the two big topics in culture today.

And I will hold space for an apology and for forgiveness.

Because

we know what girl I am.

And we know her.

But it's really hard when you listen to it.

It's unforgivable.

It's one of my favorite songs, too, which makes it all the more difficult.

Which one?

More hearts than mine or national anthem?

National Anthem.

Yeah.

Okay, ready for our next story?

Some more baseball news.

Okay.

Because Kate Upton is talking about being a baseball wag.

I love Kate Upton.

I know.

And I feel like we don't get enough Kate Upton.

We get a decent amount.

We don't.

I follow her on TikTok.

And I have to say, like, whoever is doing her social media, like, absolutely needs to be fired.

It's like, it's like seriously.

Like, what's in my bag and stuff?

It's like, it's actually like piece of shit content.

And I like I I believe in Kate Upton, you know, and I know Kate Upton can do better.

Yeah.

Cause she is a swirly

at her core.

Like she's she's our age.

How would you feel if she's not bad content at your age?

And

she really went viral, of course, like her body, but it was that video of her dancing and her personality.

She has swirliness to her.

Yeah, so she does.

So it shouldn't be so hard for the social media manager.

And I want to see what's in Kate Upton's bag.

Like, I actually don't care.

And it's like, she joined TikTok to promote this this company that she started.

Like, it's so clear that that's her goal.

And that's fine, but you really like people on TikTok are extremely clugged.

Like, they're, they see right through, like, you need to do like

11 videos before you start promoting your new company.

And I don't even know what it is, you know?

Is it a beverage?

I think it's a beverage.

I'm not sure.

Anyways, she's opening up on her absolutely insane life as a baseball wife after accidentally falling in love with Justin Verlander.

So she was on Chicks in the Office podcast and she is married to Houston Astro's picture, Justin Verlander.

She opened up about being a baseball wag.

She said, quote, quote, being a baseball wife is absolutely insane.

Like this schedule is wild.

It's so long.

I didn't know.

I accidentally fell in love.

I had no idea that there were this many games.

Yeah, I think in wag culture, sorry to use the slur,

it's pretty much like everybody like feels bad for the MLB wives.

It's like MLBs have it the worst and NFLs have it the best because there's only like 18 games.

Yeah, we talk about this a lot.

So it's interesting to hear it from her POV because MLB spring training takes place in February.

Then the 162 game regular season lasts six months from late March until late September or early October.

Then the postseason takes another month.

She said, no consecutive off days, only Mondays and Thursdays.

I'm like, I don't see him, especially when you start getting into late playoffs when baseball is so exciting, but you're like, I haven't seen my husband in months.

They better win.

Yeah.

And I think for the girlies who are married with kids, like they don't travel with

most girlies wouldn't travel.

It's really,

it's tough.

No, I follow like some girls on TikTok and when, I think before they have kids, like, yeah, sure.

Maybe even before they're married, they don't want them like out there.

You're getting a lot of people.

Yeah, you like go to every game as you should.

And it's like fun because like that's MLB, like life, you know, living the high life.

But I think once you like start to settle down, like buy a house, put down roots, like you really can't.

No, no, you certainly cannot.

Also, Justin Verlander is always in the playoffs and like always winning.

He's really good because seasons even longer.

Yeah, I imagine like being a MLB wag is difficult regardless, but like when your team and like your husband is like actually good at what they do, it makes it a lot harder.

I I wonder when he's going to retire.

Not that he should, but he's 41 years old.

He is pretty old.

I like thought that he was retired

until he won the

no, I thought like right after he won.

Remember, they got they did the World Series.

The World Series.

He won the World Series and then they got married like three days later.

Do you remember that?

I thought that was like the perfect time to retire.

Like seriously, like you have a wife now.

He's still been winning and he's doing amazing.

I know.

And that's great and everything, but you have enough money.

You have a wife now, like a family to think about.

Like you won the World Series.

What's a better way to go out than winning the World Series?

When you're like 37, it's not like you're so young.

And it was this, I remember when it happened, it was like this against all odds thing.

Uh-huh.

You have enough money.

You have a wife now.

Let, you know, just let it be.

No, but I feel like also when you're, I feel like any athletic sports husband, when they retire, it's like a huge challenge in a relationship.

All of a sudden, they're putzing around at home all day, no purpose.

They've been waking up at 5 a.m.

their entire lives, like since middle school, high school, trained for this one thing, and now it's gone.

So, you know what?

Maybe for their relationship, put it off as long as possible especially while he's still winning you know who i think did it right and this is like one of my favorite couples to talk about for some reason derek jeter because he met hannah jeter a little bit late in his career.

So I think that they were together while he was still an active player, like not even for that long, like maybe one or two years.

Then he retired and they settled down and had kids.

And now they're the face of Jeep Wagoneer.

And I think that like that pays the bills handsomely.

And he's like an investor.

Yeah, no, he's like a classic shark tank guy.

Yeah.

And I think that they did it perfectly.

Yeah.

Not every athlete who retires feels lost, but I think it's a really easy hole to fall into.

And it makes complete sense.

No, I mean, A-Rod, like he doesn't stop working.

He's a million businesses, like a million things because you gotta.

He's also like a

broadcaster, which is a big job too.

Yeah.

I think Derek Jeter does a lot of broadcasting as well.

Yeah, that's classic.

I like love Derek Jeter and I know nothing about him.

Like, I don't, I, baseball in my sports, you know, broadcasting experience, like, it's just a blind spot for me.

I think you can feel good in your love for him because I read Mariah Carey's book.

Did you read it?

No.

And she wrote really lovely things about him.

I started Mariah Carey's book.

And like, let me tell you, that shit was like dense and like too well written.

It was like highly intellectual.

Yeah.

And I was like, this is not

what I want to read.

It's not so squirrely.

No, not at all.

And I know there's like a lot of really good, like, because you're always bringing it up because there's a lot of like good, interesting, relevant things.

I actually like I'm not smart enough to read Mariah Carey's.

Like it's shockingly intellectual.

Yeah.

And that's a shame.

So I'll just keep giving you the facts as they come.

But what did she say about him?

Oh, that he was like, he was such a great positive force in her life, like all good things.

I want to look at pictures of them like when they dated.

That's like fun.

That was before my time as a socially conscious human being.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When like you would have to like go to the library to get on the computer.

Correct.

Mariah and Jeter.

Oh my God, how cute are they?

Show me to me, Rachel.

They're so

cute.

No, they're so cute.

I love them so much.

Wow, he was a cutie.

Like, he's not ugly now.

He's just, like, not like, you know,

hot McGee.

But I guess for a time, like, he was like the hottie of the century.

Yeah, that's really cute.

Like, Mariah Carey, like, is, I know she wrote a book, but that was like a really good call.

You know, she's like the type of person who should write a book.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Someone else that we were talking about recently, I was feeling like should write a book.

Who?

I'm not going to remember.

Okay.

But good luck to them.

So yeah, Kate Upton, baseball wag.

It's a hard life, but someone's got to do it.

And I love like her, you know, sharing that with us.

Extremely brave.

Are you ready for our next story?

What number is this?

Three.

Yes.

It's some news that we should have spoken about yesterday, but it happened late last week, so I forgot.

But Alec Baldwin

has the charges dismissed against him in the Rust case.

So Alec Baldwin burst into tears as the judge in his Rust case dropped the involuntary manslaughter charge against him on Friday after his defense attorneys argued the prosecutors had buried evidence.

Quote, the late discovery of this evidence during trial has impeded the effective use of evidence in such a way that it has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings, the judge said.

Before the jury was brought into the courtroom on Friday, the third day of the trial, his attorney asked for the case against his client to be dropped, claiming that prosecutors sat on evidence that would have helped shed light onto how live ammunition was brought on the set of the Western movie Rust in 2021.

He was indicted by a grand jury in January and was rehearsing a scene on the set of the movie when the gun he was holding killed Helena Hutchins and injured the director.

But he has insisted in interviews he did not pull the trigger of the gun or know why it contained live ammunition.

His lawyers claim that a man named Troy Teske, a friend of Thel Reed, the father of convicted rust armorer Hannah Guterres Reed, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, turned over ammunition to authorities that he thought was connected to the case.

Wait, he didn't even pull the trigger, Alec Baldwin.

No, he.

I don't, I don't know that, but like still, it goes to like, even if he did pull the trigger, he's filming the movie.

Why was it real?

Of course.

So someone connected to the armorer turned over ammo.

That was like, I think this is connected to the case.

And that was never turned into evidence.

So, the prosecutor said, We're talking about a prosecution that didn't preserve those bullets, that didn't collect them at all, that didn't turn them over.

This is critical evidence in the case that was never disclosed to us.

We were entitled to it.

This case should be dismissed, Your Honor.

And it was.

No, by the way, that's facts.

The wheels of justice.

They turned slowly, but they did turn.

And I think this is the right call.

This will go down in history as like one of the craziest things that's ever happened.

And like,

I don't know if I'll ever get over it.

Like, literally, it's the craziest thing.

And I don't think Alec Baldwin

was to blame really at all.

But it's just like a crazy thing about Alec Baldwin is that, like, he's like, killed someone.

Yeah.

There's a small list of celebrities who have killed people.

Now, they're not all the same because I do believe like zero blame lies on Alec Baldwin, but like, you know, of course, Caitlin Jenner, Chris Souls.

You know, one people don't really know.

And let me just, before I slander, you know, someone's name, let me just triple check.

You know him?

Yes.

I only learned that recently.

And it's a thing, right?

It sounds familiar, yeah.

Yeah, Matthew Broderick on August 5th, 1987, while driving a rented car outside of Tempo, Northern Ireland, crossed into the wrong lane and collided head on with another car.

The driver, Anna Gallagher, and her mother were both killed.

So he's double homicide.

Oh my God.

Yeah, this is just like an interesting thing.

Celebrities who have killed people.

Cool.

Does anybody care?

Yeah, it's just a little harrowing.

Here, IMDB, thank you.

Celebrities who have killed people.

It's spooky.

Gypsy Rose.

Well, she's not a celebrity, like who has killed people.

She's a person who killed someone and then became a celebrity.

Yeah.

That's different.

That's like, you know, the Zodiac killer, Ted Bundy, you know, those are famous killers, not

okay, okay.

You know?

Yeah.

I don't recognize a lot of people on this list, like in terms of their names.

I imagine, you know, it's hard to go far when you've killed someone.

Of course.

Howard Hughes killed someone?

Who?

Killed a pedestrian with his car.

Yikes.

Yeah.

Laura Bush?

Who is that?

The wife?

That's Georgia, George W's.

Wife.

She ran into another car and killed her friend, a 17-year-old friend and classmate in the 60s.

Damn.

Matthew Broderick.

There he is.

Of course, O.J.

Simpson.

Of course.

How do we forget?

Snoop Dogg.

Wait, this list is crazy.

He was arrested for murder of a rival gang member, Philip Walder-Marion.

Although Snoop's bodyguard, McKinley Lee, was the one to do the actual shooting.

Okay, that's different.

Okay.

It doesn't really

associated.

Yeah, but I don't know if that really would get you on this list.

No, I agree.

Most of these are vehicular.

Brandy.

In 2006, she struck and killed a 38-year-old Awatef Abu Dihaj while driving another car.

I just would also, I know this list can't be that comprehensive, but like,

were any of these people, like, who was in the wrong?

I guess like if they were drunk driving and they killed someone, they would likely have gone to jail.

So like the other person could have been the drunk driver.

I think that's all in terms of people's names I recognize from this particular list.

Oh,

J.R.

Smith.

Who's that oh it says act no jr smith yeah he used to play on the next that's how i recognize his name vehicular as well i think he has to be an actor in order to be on i

agree yeah they put actor

so true

okay

i guess you could also athletes well yes of course aaron hernandez yeah oh there's caitlin jenner

that

that guy in texas just a few weeks ago who was like a really bad i don't know if he if anyone wound up dying but it was a horrible car crash and he just like walked away oh very famously phil lewis Mr.

Mosby from

yes, I knew this.

Um, he was arrested after he accidentally killed Isabel Duarte, a resident of Bethesda, Maryland, in a car crash.

He was charged with manslaughter and driving while intoxicated.

Damn.

Up, there's Alec Baldwin, number 76 on the list.

Oh, it was in Dallas, but it was a Chiefs player.

Wait, I'm shocked.

Wait, hold on.

One a six-car crash.

Who was it?

A Chiefs player?

Yeah.

Okay, Jackie, wait.

Here's two more.

Luther Vandros.

Yeah.

Also vehicular.

Wait, Jackie.

Mitt Romney.

He's on the list.

They were traveling on dangerous roads in southern France as they drove through the village of Bernose-Balak.

A Mercedes that was passing a truck missed a curve and swerved into the opposite lane, hitting Romney head on.

I mean, that's like not you killing someone.

If somebody hits you, that's what I'm saying.

Trapped between the steering wheel and the door, the unconscious Romney had to be pried from the car.

A French police officer mistakenly wrote

that he was dead on his passport.

Oh, that's funny.

Well, that's not funny.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Damn.

Okay.

Well, that's the end of the list.

Alec Baldwin charges the speech.

What a weight lifted off from him.

I mean, for the last three years, we really couldn't talk about Alec Baldwin while also being like, you know, alleged murderer.

So I think, you know, I'm happy for him.

I can't imagine the relief that he feels.

For sure.

So, happy for him.

And Ilaria as well.

Are you ready for our fourth story?

No.

No.

Are you ready for our fourth story?

Because it's brought to you by Splash Refresher, an integral brand when it comes to the influencer wagon.

And when it comes to swirly summer.

When it comes to swirly summer.

So as you guys know, I have recently become obsessed beyond with the splash refresher.

I always have one.

I have one right here.

This is a wildberry flavor.

For those who don't know, that's my favorite flavor.

That's my favorite.

Where no one else is allowed to drink them.

Let's talk about there's only two left.

Did you know that?

Somebody's been drinking them because I went down to get one for the studio and this is the second to last one.

Don't look at me.

I don't don't know what I know who it was.

My husband.

Yeah.

He wouldn't do that to you.

He loves you.

But he loves Splash Refresher more.

You think?

A thousand percent.

I'll ask him in earnest.

Although I know that wildberry isn't his number one flavor.

I feel like he's really into like grape.

I'm not sure, but I just know that someone's out to get me.

Interesting.

So when it came time for us to, you know, make the preparations for our aristocratic influencer vacation, one of the first brands we reached out to was Splash Refresher.

I asked for a crate.

of the wildberry flavor because your girl, admittedly, over the years, has had a trouble staying hydrated.

It has manifested itself in different ways.

I feel like I'm always like getting headaches or just not feeling like I'm feeling fatigued, not feeling energized because I have a really hard time drinking water, staying on top of my hydration.

It just doesn't taste good.

It's not something I'm really interested in drinking.

It's a chore.

And

I did not know about Splash Refresher.

That's like the best part about the job is like when you're introduced to brands, they wanted to work with us and I was like, okay, sure, send it over.

Let me take a sip.

It was love at first sip for me and Splash Refresher, specifically the wildberry flavor.

We respect, you know, the hydration hustle, but sometimes it's just not going to to work out in the way that you want it to and you need to bring in reinforcements.

And for me, that was Splash Refresher.

It's flavored water.

It's delicious.

It's bright.

It's flavorful.

It's hydrating.

And if you can believe it, it has zero calories.

No matter how hard I try, I am always just a little dehydrated.

I can never be bothered with a plain glass of water and then just like staying on top of it with like the water bottle.

Like it's just, it's not going to happen.

Enter Splash Refresher.

They come in five cravable flavors and they are there to satisfy your need for hydration with a little bit of flavor.

So their flavors are wildberry, acai grape, pineapple, mango, lemon, and mandarin orange.

They are delicious.

They are bright, flavorful, and hydrating.

And I can't stress this enough.

They are zero calories.

They're so good.

Let me tell you, I'm now like having three, four a day.

There's always one on my nights, yet.

And to me, it's not like, oh yeah, I have to drink water.

At the end of the day, I'm like, oh my God, I drink so much water today.

It's just kind of like, it's all happening for me in that sense.

And I love it so much.

I really don't know where I'd be.

And a lot of people

like always ask me post-Ozempic like tips and tricks because I, yeah, sleigh have managed to keep like most of the weight off except for like, you know, those 10 pounds that I'm really still actively working on.

And unfortunately, people were right.

You know, they always were telling me if you drink your water, it's not everything when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

But let me say, it's a good chunk.

Yeah.

Are you going to make fun of the way I said lifestyle?

No.

Oh, is it lifestyle?

Oh, no, I missed it because Juliana and I drink a lot of water.

No, like Sal, drinking more water is not going to solve all of your problems, but it's going to solve a lot of them.

You would be surprised what you can do, how you can feel when you are properly hydrated.

That's one of the most frustrating things about this whole journey I've been on over the last like 17 months, however long it's been, is that people were definitely right when they said like, you got to drink water.

And it's hard to accept that.

It is.

And for me, I also am in my fitness journey and hydration is even more important when you're doing, you know, sweat sessions like I am constantly like running 5Ks just at one time.

Staying hydrated, it's going to make a difference.

I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Like it will make a difference.

And it's hard.

And I'm here to give you a little bit of like a cheat, cheat shortcut.

It's a splash refresher.

Yeah.

Life's all about tips and tricks.

You can find splash refreshers on Amazon, on Instacart, at local Walmarts, Sam Clubs, Sam's Club, Kroger.

I actually have not had a hard time finding them at all.

It's crazy how, like, I was living my life never heard of this brand.

You would have seen them at the grocery store.

I didn't notice.

Now, everywhere I go, I really have not had a hard time finding it, which is fabulous, especially when I just call them up and I say, hey, bring the truck, load up the wagon.

The aristocrats are coming to town.

The girls are thirsty.

So, again, a splash refresher, zero calories, delicious flavored water.

There's a, you know, it's very personal.

I understand that.

Like I said, your husband and I, we love, we're always fighting over the splash.

I am more of a wildberry girl, but that's classic turt.

Wild.

It is.

Because I had like a

wild in the wildberry.

I had an energy drink yesterday and I just went for the wildberry flavor.

That's the flavor that I gravitate towards.

Yeah.

It's extremely personal.

So find splash refresher today on Amazon and Instacart or at your local Walmart, Sam's Club, or Kroger.

Once you've been introduced to the Splash Refresher lifestyle, there is no going back.

So you're welcome.

And I will say, people like send me DMs all the time.

Like, and I'm being really serious right now.

Like, thank you so much for your, you know, being so open about Ozembic.

And let me tell you, I get so many messages.

Thank you for telling me about Splash Refresher.

I swear, Jackie, I swear to you.

I believe you.

I believe you.

They're like, oh my God, best tip.

Like, this is a hack, a wellness hack.

I'm going to make you a loaf of sourdough using Splash Refresher water.

Will it sourdough?

That's a good idea.

I know.

I'll do it.

Okay.

A whileberry loaf for you.

So thank you, Splash.

Oh, I don't know if that was obvious.

Splash is a sponsor of today's episode.

So thank you, Splash.

Thank you, Jax.

Thank you to the Tertlennials.

Thank you to the Tertlenials.

Our fourth story.

So this is actually really sweet because it's something that we spoke about a few months ago.

But now Natalie Portman is emotionally sharing how Rihanna helped her amid her divorce from Benjamin Millipide.

Okay.

So remember a few months ago, she ran into Natalie Portman and Rihanna ran into each other outside of a fashion show and Rihanna was like fawning over Natalie Portman and like everyone was shocked, including Natalie, including us.

Yes, yes, yes.

So on the tonight show, Natalie Portman was tearing up recalling the time she met Rihanna.

So Rihanna had no trouble straightening Natalie Portman's crown.

Natalie became emotional while recalling a powerful.

I just need to talk about that line you just read.

Just pretend I didn't.

No, it's not a reflection on you.

It's not a reflection on you.

Entertainment Tonight is doing the work.

Can we talk about how writers each other's crowns?

Yeah, like this whole trope, whether it's writers or just like memes or stuff, where it's like two women supporting each other, it's like her crown.

I just think like seriously, jail for anybody who indulges in that sort of vernacular.

Like lock me up and throw away the key because I read it.

But Jackie, you didn't write it.

I don't, I don't hold you responsible.

I don't push anything.

I didn't need a microphone.

I you did.

Like I deserve what's coming.

If I was doing the stories today, which I never would be, like I would have just skipped past that line.

I didn't see that line because I was

because I skipped like what she had said.

But she became emotional on the tonight show while recalling a powerful exchange she shared with the singer amid her recent divorce.

So the interaction went down in January, oh, I guess it was a few months ago, outside of the Dior show.

The moment was captured on video and quickly went viral and the toast talked about it and everything.

And everything.

She said, it was an amazing experience for me i think every woman going through a divorce should get to have rihanna say to her that she's a bad bitch no that's funny haha but not every woman going through a divorce does get that and i i agree with her that i think it would help but her bragging about it seriously is not helping any of these recently divorced women for real fix their crowns natalie fix their crowns wow i think it's a relatable moment yet most of you won't get that.

Right.

But it's like all to say like that meant so much to Natalie, who knew what she was going through, but just even hearing that.

And she's a rock star in her own right.

Let me ask you a question.

Let's say you're going through something, maybe not divorce, but like something really hard personally.

Who is like a famous person who could like say to you, like, you're seriously the baddest bitch to ever do it, like, don't sweat.

And who, who, who would it be that would like actually fix your problems?

I just sounded like Harry.

Who would it be?

So it depends.

It depends what I'm going through because I feel like I would want someone who's kind of been through what I've been through.

Let's say a breakup.

Oh, a breakup?

Because that's the story here.

Okay.

So a divorce.

Yeah, I don't know.

I hate to like say the word divorce about people who are actively, like, happily married.

I think it's like such a bad omen.

Yeah.

And like, there are people who like fight with their husbands and like sling that word around.

Like, we don't.

I think the word is like.

Okay, so I'm going through something difficult.

You know, even though I've been like clowning on her a lot recently and like she's just like not doing it for me these days, someone who like I really do admire and respect and like her words would mean a lot is Kim.

Yeah, I knew you were going to say that.

What about you, Taylor?

Dead or alive?

Alive.

Okay.

Because Joan, obviously, like would help.

Yeah, would, yeah.

But I guess unless Teresa Caputo is helping me speak to her,

then that's not an option.

Yeah.

And then, of course, Elon.

Like if he told me I could get through it, I could get through anything.

No, but you would need to talk to him first to give you the confidence that you could then meet Elon and date him because you're going through breakups.

You're single.

Totally.

Who would you want to date?

Like if you were like in a serious way, not like celebrity crush, like who you think is hot.

Like who is a celebrity who you actually think would be like a good husband?

Let's say, you know, God forbid, God forbid, chasfashalom.

It didn't work out with you in Zach.

That's a really crazy question.

Because like I love Joe Manchinella, but I wouldn't want to be married to him.

I like, I don't think he would be a good husband, honestly.

Like I wouldn't want to be married to Elon.

You wouldn't?

That would make you the wealthiest woman in America.

Oh, I guess.

And so I could just like for because he's kind of not a one-woman man.

No, and he's kind of like a toxic partner based on what we're doing.

Yeah, based on what I read in the book, like it's not all roses.

And like I'm not cut out for that.

Like I don't exist in toxicity.

I don't have toxic relationships like with like mud slinging fights.

Like I'm actually not the right partner for him.

Maybe I could just be like a steady force.

No, but Elon like wasn't put and I think he would admit this.

Like he wasn't put on this earth to like be a good husband.

Yeah.

He was put on this earth to you know make technological innovations change you know how we travel through space-time continuums all that.

But I don't think like being a other half is in the cards for him.

It's like he said on SNL like I'm a genius.

You didn't think I was going to be cool too.

Or a good husband too.

Right.

Yeah.

Right.

And also to make a lot of little Elons to carry the work on.

And do you think that like your womb is equipped for that?

Because I don't know.

Is hospitable for little Elons?

Right.

Like a million of them?

Because he doesn't stop.

Yeah, but he spreads it out.

No one woman has really, except for the first time.

He's kind of like Cody from Sister Wives.

Yeah.

Just like impregnating different women.

But because he's a billionaire, I guess people do give him shit for it anyway.

Like, it's not like he gets off scot-free.

It's like the running joke.

No, him and Nick Cannon.

It's the running joke.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But he don't give a rip.

Not a rip.

All else to say, so who would you want to be married to?

Oh, I don't know.

I didn't have an answer.

But also, like, we don't really know these people.

No, it's true.

So I really couldn't say because I'm sure like the person I'm thinking is the nice is Peter Facinelli.

Like he's maybe a monster.

Don't you dare disgrace the great Peter Facinelli.

He's maybe a monster behind closed doors.

There's no way because we know him and his ex, Jenny Garth, who like who got who were married and had a kid and had like a kind of tumultuous divorce.

We know that they're actually on really good terms now because they did a podcast together.

So even like the person who would hate you most in this world, like your ex, that's true, like still has respect for you.

He's a good person.

It's a testament.

Okay.

So Peter Facinelli.

Yeah, that's who we'd want to marry.

Peter Facinelli.

And anyways, Natalie Portman, just she's a girl at the end of the day going through a breakup.

She is.

I I will say she's not a girl like I particularly like or care about.

No.

So just wanted to say that because, like I said, I'm a true American and I'm a hater.

Yeah, no, but the thing is, I don't have hate.

I don't have hate.

I don't have love.

It's just indifference.

I don't really like her iconic movies are not iconic to me.

I never saw Black Swan.

Never like stood out for me.

Yeah.

I missed the boat there.

A thousand percent.

And that's okay.

It is.

That's okay.

Our fifth and final story is like some exciting, like

genesis qua like marketing.

i'll just marketing travel historic news if i may that's not a thing but okay travel historic marketing news literally pan am is bringing luxury back to the skies who remembers that tv show i mean anyone who has a modicum of taste a one seasoned wonder on abc about the fabulous like airline in the what 60s

who

got their start on that show somebody like really famous like we'll see if from somebody really famous that we only know because of pan am but now it's like super famous.

No, I feel that.

I don't know why I thought it was like Margo Robbie, but it's not.

Okay, so far I don't recognize anyone.

Ashley Green.

Margo Robbie.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, there.

Literally, Margot Robbie.

She got her.

Oh, and Christina Ricci, but she was famous before.

Obsessed.

Margot Robbie was on Pan Am.

That's like kind of, I think, what she would consider her first big break.

I'm obsessed.

We need to re-watch.

We need to re-watch, even though it was like literally one season, do more, do better.

Well, what they are doing is they're bringing back those elegant days of flying.

So, Pan Am, the beloved, long-defunct airline that earned a reputation for cruising in style and great comfort, has announced a special 12-day comeback journey next summer, and it costs a whopping $65,000 for a solo ticket with a slight discount for two travelers.

Oh my God, imagine like doing this by yourself.

I climb into bed and I start feeling sad.

You know who needs to do it?

Brian.

Yeah.

He will.

He probably already, he probably got a free ticket, though.

Like, because that's so Brian.

Do you think that too?

Me and Brian?

Literally.

That's like our Venn diagram converging.

Pan Am.

It's so true.

Rest assured that number covers most meals and beverages and comes with complimentary swag bags according to the website.

Just for one flight?

Yeah.

So it's confusing how it's going to work, but from June 27th until July 9th, you can relive a golden age of travel and marvel at your soaring credit card bill as travel company Criterion partners with the shuttered shuttler for an intercontinental extravaganza

spanning nearly two weeks.

Oh, so it's a two-week trip.

Yes, there are only 50 seats open on the commemorative flight.

The pricey plan is a circuit from New York to Bermuda, Lisbon, Portugal,

oh no, Lisbon, Portugal, Marseille, France, London, England, and Foynes,

Kaima.

That's my favorite restaurant.

It is.

Foynes, Ireland, the airline's original transatlantic destinations, and then back to the Big Apple.

Okay, so it's like a two-week Brian.

By the way, Brian's not going to do this.

Like, you can't get him bogged down for two weeks.

Like, I thought it was like one flight.

You don't think he wants to go to Marseille, Cama, France?

No, I think he's going to have a writer of his, like,

do the whole thing and write it up.

Who do you think will go?

I don't know.

Also, about this, let me say this.

Do you want more to eat?

No.

They'll be staying at the Four Seasons in Lisbon, the Waldorf, in New York.

Oh, I guess the Waldorf should be back open then.

Oh, wow.

That's huge.

Oh, this is what I was going to say, because Mark Cuban was just on Howard Stern talking about this because it reminds me, you know.

He was talking about this?

No, no, no.

Something similar that it reminded me of in like the early i want to say 2000s american airlines did a thing where it's like for a hundred and forty five thousand dollars you could get this type of global pass that you could fly anywhere in the world you and a companion first class for free if you paid a hundred and forty five thousand dollars a year once a one-time payment and it ended up being this like big

like I don't know how they didn't think it through but it was like the dumbest thing ever because anybody who could afford it did it because it made so much sense and they lost so much money they had to discontinue it but I do believe that if you bought it it still to this day is intact.

And Mark Cuban ended up transferring it to his dad.

He got a one-time transfer.

And he was talking about it was like the greatest thing he ever did.

He had just sold his company for his first company for $6 million.

So he wasn't like crazy, crazy wealthy, but he had $145,000 and it was like the craziest thing that he ever did.

And this reminds me of that.

Oh, that's cool.

Yeah.

There are a couple of like famous like flops from airlines releasing things.

This is like a one-time, this is like going to be.

That was like our favorite airline song.

Who remembers Delta's song?

It was owned by Delta.

It was like really an airline geared for kids?

It was like fun.

There was

on the TVs, like there was games.

You would play with the other passengers on the plane.

I'm surprised that wasn't successful since like kids on airplanes is such a divisive topic.

And you would think if there was just like a family-friendly, like geared towards kids' airline, that it would be really popular.

We flew it all the time as kids.

Yeah, let me Google, like, see what, why it flopped.

And it was backed by Delta.

So it was.

So Song was a low-cost air service within an airline brand opened by Delta.

Its main focus on was on leisure between the Northeast and Florida.

That's literally.

It was us.

We were always going to Florida.

Yeah.

And it was compared with, competed with JetBlue.

Yes.

The song brand was placed on more than 200 flights a day, which carried over 10 million passengers.

The airline was notable for affordable prices, luxury amenities.

Oh, look at us.

Oh, my goodness.

It was dissolved in 2006 following Delta's bankruptcy restructuring with all of Song's aircrafts, routes, and staff reverting to Delta.

Many of Song's more popular features.

Who's bankrupt?

Delta or Song?

Delta.

Oh, so it was kind of like not Song's fault.

Not Song's fault.

It just kind of fell through the cracks.

Many of their more popular features, including leather seating, personal entertainment systems, and simpler booking system, were integrated into Delta flights as part of its post-bankruptcy rebranding.

This last flight took off on April 30th, 2006.

We were probably on it.

We flew that shit so much because we were like, when we were kids, the only place we were flying was Florida.

I liked to see our cousins.

No, I'm obsessed.

No, and honestly, I think they should really think about bringing it back because obviously it was just like a hard time for Delta.

2006, obviously on the cusp of the crash.

I think it was a hard time for everyone.

But I do think like an airline that's specifically targeted towards family travel.

But nothing that I read was that it was family travel, but it was their low-cost airline.

It was definitely for family travel.

I'm sorry.

Look at every headline.

Delta's low-cost brand.

It was their low-cost brand.

I didn't even know that.

Like, I thought it was like their kids' brand.

Yeah.

No, it was just a game.

And like the games, like it was just green and blue.

The TV that everybody had, like, had games you could compete, like, in Sudoku against the person next to you or like anyone on the plane.

You would would trivia.

We had a seat number.

Yeah, it was kind of amazing.

Yeah.

We love that shit.

Bring back song.

Does anybody, like, does song mean anything to anybody else or just us?

Let us know.

Sound up in the comments.

And did we give you goosebumps?

Right.

And do we forgive Ingrid Andres?

Lots of questions being posted.

She hasn't asked her forgiveness yet.

So cute.

So like, let's wait for the apology and the explanation.

Like, feel free to blame it on literally anyone.
