Happy Chooseday, Maggie Gyllenhaal!: Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Bombus makes the most comfortable socks, underwear, and t-shirts.

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

Happy Thursday.

Hope everybody's having a blessed day thus far, acknowledging the space that they're in.

And that space is the latter half of the week.

We're pretty much done at this point.

You know, if you round up.

It's a very exciting time of the week as we slide into the latter half on a Thursday.

Welcome, everyone, to the show.

So excited to be here, still in Florida, hanging with my girl who's looking especially trad wife today.

You're putting the home in homesteader.

Well, thank you so much.

Once again, this is a dress that I already owned since I think 2019, back when I used to order avocado toasts.

Like, it's not just because I make my own bread that I have this dress.

That's what I'm saying.

It's kind of like what came first, the bread or the dress.

And in this case, the dress.

And it's just so nice to wear a long dress and not have to worry about like pulling things down all the time.

Like, it's a joy, really.

I need more.

Are you going to be joining the modest dressing movement or as our people call it, sneute?

I've been trying.

I've been trying to order Seamla's dresses that are like teacup length, but it's really hard to find ones that look good on you.

On short people.

Yeah.

So I've had to make some returns, but I will continue my pursuit.

I haven't really found anything yet.

Okay.

You just reminded me of something.

I figured I like learned something on TikTok because like you, I'm 412.

Call back.

And, you know, every time I buy a pair of pants, like even if I like them, like I have to get every pair of pants hemmed.

And it's like an expensive part of my life and so unnecessary, especially for like a pair of jeans.

Like who gets jeans hemmed?

like you don't i don't like that's why a part of my journey like into pants and jeans has been stalled because i am so limited okay so like with trousers like yeah okay i'll get whatever so on tick tock i learned about this thing called a rotary knife i think it's called do you know what that is

It looks like a pizza slicer, but it's for fabric.

I guess they use it, you know, down in the fabric district where Jackie Goldschneider works.

And you just like kind of like pizza slice the bottom of your pants and like it like hems your pants.

Interesting.

It's really for jeans because it leaves them sort of like raw, which is like that look.

So I just just bought it and I'm really excited about it.

I haven't been able to use it yet because it arrived right before I left for Florida.

Got it.

I feel like with jeans, and I have my established jeans now, and the way it works best for me is like getting an ankle cut for a tall person.

I just get it for myself and then it's normal length.

These days, a lot of brands do petite and regular sizing.

Shout out to the brands that are carrying, not petite, because petite also implies thin.

So being like...

Like petite means short.

Well, so now they have tall and like you can get a petite extra regular.

Yeah, that's when I first started wearing jeans from Chop Shop.

They were pretty good at that.

Shout out to Spanks, Abercrombie.

They're making lines of clothing like for short people.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, so I'm in a good place with that.

Yeah, it's a good feeling to be seen in that way.

Yeah.

I've got like my black jeans, my white jeans, my yellow jeans.

Yellow?

I have a pair of yellow.

Yeah.

You do have a pair of yellow.

You need a couple pleny pairs of jeans.

I'm not there yet.

You know, that's kind of like advanced level jean wearing colors.

Well, no, for me, advanced level jean wearing is like actual jean.

Right, like blue.

Blue, light blue, light wash.

Blue jean, baby.

Like classic jeans.

That's where I'm not at yet.

But you know where I am at?

Barbara Jean.

Barbara Jean.

And I will always be with Barbara Jean, even though I stand firmly with Reba in that scenario.

Barbara Jean was like incredibly toxic.

And I saw someone make a TikTok about it.

And I'm glad people are talking about it because re-watching the show, like, that was kind of my major takeaway.

Like, it's like a haha, family-friendly show.

But no, Reba's husband left her for this woman who then like foists herself upon riba like comes to her house every day like wants to be best friends wants to be the stepmom like how about off like boundaries if bj that's what i call her barbara jean wasn't like the queen that she is and she was just a regular person like seriously we would all hate her right right and that's not having a good personality seriously yeah it makes up for a lot and i think you know the message was like barbara jean like made a mistake you know In what sense?

In being the other woman, because, you know, spoiler alert, her and Brock end up getting divorced.

Really?

Yeah.

So she made a mistake.

And it was like all that for nothing.

Well, not a mistake because they had a beautiful child together.

Okay.

But you know what I mean?

Like, it wasn't that Barbara Jean was a bad person.

She was a good person who did a bad thing.

Interesting.

I didn't realize these dynamics were at play.

It's kind of a layered show.

And it's a little, you know, watching it now as a grown-up.

Like, you see there are different dynamics at play.

It's mature.

Yeah.

It's for mature audiences.

Gone.

We were not mature audiences when we were watching it.

No, I think about that a lot, like things we watched as kids that we certainly should have been watching.

Degrassi.

But we didn't understand, which is good.

No, but I definitely learned like,

I don't know what I want to like say this word.

It's like kind of a crazy word to say, but like I learned like what rape is from degrassi.

And I think I was far too young to be like knowing what that is.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I never heard that word before and like what the meaning meant.

And they just right there explained it to me.

It was an advanced show.

Yeah.

It was, you know, for fast kids.

Or mature audiences.

Mature content.

Yeah.

Mature children.

We've got a great show today.

We are just, you know, gonna do our thing.

And in addition to being podcasting, you know, podcasters to the stars, Jackie and I are also models today.

We have a huge day of photo shooting.

We have like new merch coming out.

We also just like need new headshots because like we said, we're like actors models, you know, constantly on set.

And so we have this like big photo shoot today, which is probably

why we look so gorgeous.

Yeah.

We both really look like next level.

We did our hair, makeup.

We have a really big afternoon of modeling, which is hard work.

Oh, and we'll be modeling outside.

And I feel like we might not even need to do extra activity for our aura rings.

Oh, no.

However, we have to play pickleball because we haven't played one since you've been here because we've been so busy.

I know.

And tonight, like, could be the night, except Summerhouse is on.

And tonight could be the night, except we're going to be so tired from modeling.

Well, that's actually true.

We're going to be like, I'm not going back outside.

We're going to be like, I can't even pick up the remote to put on Summerhouse.

Like, we're going to be so tired.

I'm excited about Summerhouse.

We haven't watched anything together either since you've been here.

TV has not even been put on.

So it's going to be a fun last night together, last night of camp, because because Turdy is heading home tomorrow.

Yeah.

Which is sad.

And I feel like usually we never know when you're leaving.

Yeah.

You never know.

And just to sort of have this like finite day, it feels weird.

But it is making me appreciate the moments.

Like last night I came to your room.

Like, I don't think I would have done that if your trip was open-ended.

Well, Jackie had the gall to do something that was so crazy last night.

Like she had to edit the Redheads and she was like, listen, I can't really hang tonight.

We like finished, you know, cleaning, you know, being aunties and mothers, like being, you know, business owners at like eight o'clock.

And Jackie was like, I can't really like girly tonight i have to add the redheads she was sort of like you're on your own and i said it was okay i went over to olivia and i needed to tell you that boundary otherwise i would have like we would have stayed up on you and then got into bed at 11 o'clock and then have to edit it so then at 10 o'clock when she was done she FaceTimes me.

I'm upstairs in my room, you know, being a good house guest.

And she's FaceTiming me, like, what she always does, like right when she's out of the shower.

I know she like loves to do her like girly things in the sink and sticks her phone up on the mirror and calls me.

And it's like my favorite time of day when I'm at home.

So she's like FaceTiming me, like gossiping about stuff.

And I'm like,

why don't you just come upstairs?

She's like, yeah, I guess I could.

I'll be up in 20.

And she was up like 30 minutes later.

We did a nice girly chit chat.

She was sitting editing the redheads.

I had to do my skincare.

Like I couldn't come upstairs right out of the shower.

I had to dry off.

So you were in the shower.

I was in the shower.

That's why I called you.

While you were in the shower?

Yes.

We've been quoting legally blonde a lot recently.

I can't say the word father anymore.

Like certain words like change, like have meaning over time.

And to me, like if you're going to say the word father, how would you feel if your father was marrying someone your own age?

I can't say how would you feel without saying, how would you feel?

I can't say me without me.

I can't say screw sisterhood.

Screw sisterhood.

Never.

Never.

That's like one thing Victor Garber and I don't agree on.

Yeah.

He was having an off day.

Even like heroes have off days.

Yeah.

So as I was saying, we have a great show.

Today's like kind of light and easy because tomorrow we have Summerhouse.

Tomorrow we have Queenie and Weenie.

Today we have nothing.

Yesterday we have Deer Toasters.

Today we're just kind of untethered.

Yeah, we are, but but i am tethered to the redheads which dropped today great episode major announcement in the episode i'm not gonna oh my god yes like and this is not us being like clickbaity stupid annoying like i forgot that that was going up oh i'm so excited so that's very exciting i want you guys to experience the announcement as it happens and don't go looking for it like it's a joyous nowhere to find it it's also like in parts throughout the episode like more stuff is no but i'm saying like somebody might like leave a comment on the post or like go to the facebook group no no just go listen and enjoy it you'll be so happy Yeah.

Great book.

Great show.

Great girls.

Greatness.

Just greatness all around.

I really need to read more this month.

Like, actually, I already have my goals for the month.

I'm not going to add more to it, you know, because I have my wellness fitness goals.

And like, okay, so I'm not

going to add a reading goal because that might take away from my other goal.

Yeah.

Maybe I'll be reading and snacking.

That's not going to work.

But reading and snacking is so much fun.

Yeah.

No, I should be like hitting my activity goals, not my reading goals.

Yeah.

You just, you can't do both.

Like we're just, we're just human beings, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm definitely not reading my hitting goals.

That's good.

You're that you're not reading them.

Yeah.

How are the stories today?

Celeb focused.

Do it that way you may.

Is that bad or good?

Don't we do like celebrity episodes, stories every day?

One, it depends who you ask.

Is that bad or good?

Everyone has a different sort of thing that they like for the stories.

And two, yes, we do celebrity every day, but there's usually like one or two that are not so celebrity, like what you would really like to do.

Good news.

Weekly, you know?

And then, of course, like the circus freak people news, human rights.

There's none of that.

It's like very us weekly.

I actually wanted to talk about this on the toe.

So I made a TikTok yesterday and, you know, it was like hot take alert.

And I hate when people do that because like they'll be like, hot take and say something so boring and lame.

It's like, okay, thanks.

Yeah, we knew that.

But I actually like.

gave a hot take and people are like fighting in the comments about it and I'd like to get your take on it.

I do think you'll agree with me because especially on TikTok, there's always having conversations and Tinks talks about this a lot.

And I think think this is something Tinks and I will disagree on.

She calls it like boyfriend sickness when, you know, we always like clown on friends who like get a boyfriend and then you see them significantly less because they're hanging out with their boyfriend.

And then what's the boyfriend sickness?

Who's sick?

The girl.

Like you don't see her because she's sick with her boyfriend.

I think that's Adamatura.

Not the former friend who's sick because her other friend got a boyfriend?

No, no, I think the way Tinks describes it, and forgive me if I'm using her phrase wrong, like boyfriend sickness is like, oh, where's Talia?

We don't see her in a while.

She's got boyfriend sickness.

Okay.

So she's just like in that that stage with her boyfriend.

And so my hot take was

soaking up each other's awesomeness.

Exactly.

And my hot take was like, I really don't like that narrative.

I feel like it's so wrong.

Like I see it more as, no, no, like the part of your life where like you consistently all the time hang out with your girlfriends like is over.

And yeah, like a friend who's dating someone who's hopefully going to be like her husband, her life partner, the father of her children, like and spending like a lot of time with him.

No, that's like growing up.

That's evolution.

Like I think the girls who like sit around talking shit about the girl who has like too much time with her boyfriend, like you guys are the toxic ones, not the friend who just got a boyfriend.

Yeah, I agree.

The friend in that situation who's complaining her friend has boyfriend sickness like is a toxic friend who's immature and like thinks, well, we're going to have sleepovers and braid each other's hair forever.

Like, sure, nice, but people need to grow up.

You know, civilization needs to repopulate itself.

Like, it is time.

So the comments were really divided.

Half the people were like, thank you.

Like, yes.

And then the other half were like, no, you should be able to prioritize both.

And I just don't think like your friendship should be of equal priority.

By the way, having friends and spending time with your friends is so important.

Like, especially the older you get, I feel like you need it even more.

But you have a million friends when you're in college.

And when you're 35, you don't have a million friends.

You hopefully have like four or five really, really good friends who you lean on.

But wait, I lost my train of thought of thought still.

Yeah, I lost my train of thought.

What did I was I saying right before this?

Oh, the comments are really divided.

But I don't think like your friendships should be of the same priority level as your relationship.

Well, here's the thing.

That is

priorities, there is a hierarchy.

So you can't say you need to give equal priority to your friends in your relationship.

Like you have to choose one that's called having a priority.

There can be a number two, not far behind, but like it's never going to be equal.

And what are your priorities?

And we need to make choices.

And people don't want to do that.

And they're like, I love everyone.

I want to see everyone.

No, like what is your priority in life?

And maybe for some people, it is their friends and it's having those friendships.

Like sex in the city, men come and go and wear each other so that

could be you.

Love that for you.

For other people, not so much.

No, and also what somebody had commented that I thought was really insightful is like it's also like we don't we don't have endless time in the day so when you are like merging lives with someone you have their family and friends now to think about so like naturally because that's how time works and you are gonna have to like divide up your time differently and just because like you're seeing someone less like that doesn't make you a bad friend they're like she's not a girl's girl like i just don't like that i didn't i don't agree with it so yeah that's not what we meant when we said girls girl yeah that like we're gonna be with you all the time and we're gonna like price sacrifice everything for you right that's not what it means to be a girl's girl so i was kind of making waves on TikTok last night, 200,000 views.

Yeah.

I think it's an important message that you're spreading.

Just that a message.

You don't have to agree with me.

I just like, I think the other side doesn't get talked about enough.

It's a perspective that you're spreading.

We're always shitting on the girls who like disappear a little bit once they get a boyfriend.

And like, I just wanted to offer like perhaps another perspective for those girls, you know?

Yeah.

And it's like...

They probably didn't see it though because they're with their boyfriends.

And also for the girl, for the friend, it's like, what would you do if you were in that situation?

Really?

You would probably be boyfriend sick too.

So it's a bit of jealousy and it's a bit of selfishness that it's not you.

Well, I think a layer that people don't say, because it sounds a little mean and I don't mean it to be mean is like the friend who is like more often like sitting, the friends who are like sitting around complaining, like they probably aren't in relationships yet.

Like they're the single ones.

So I have to assume there's like an element of like bitterness there too, because they might understand it once they reach that phase.

And they will.

Right.

And I guess it's just everyone.

Like, what is everyone's ultimate goal here?

Because I think for some people, it is to be in a relationship, to get married and to have children.

But if that's not everyone's, then they might not be able to understand why you would prioritize your relationship if that's not your future.

I guess it just boils down to like everyone being different.

And everyone have different dreams.

And as an elk of a dreamer, like I get that, you know?

Do you, are you the elk of a dreamer?

No, actually, I'm like extremely realistic to the point where it actually holds me back from doing things because I'm like, it's not going to work.

Yeah, it holds me back from dreaming because I'm, my feet are too firmly planted on the ground.

I would say the same for me.

Yeah.

I feel like maybe that's something we could work on, like being a little bit more delusional.

Because, you know, I have friends that are so insane.

It's like against everything I believe.

Like, I have people in my life that are so like insane in a good way.

Like, they're so delusional.

And every now and then things work out for them.

I'm like, you know what?

Good for you.

Yeah.

And they really, I have to imagine like it worked out because they put that out there, you know?

I don't know.

I think you either have it or you don't.

And I think like being a realist who's veering into doing some dreaming is going to hurt you because you're so aware of the reality.

The thing is, yeah, as a realist, like veering into dreamland is really only going to hurt you.

But as a dreamer, veering into reality land, it's going to help you in the long run.

It's going to be hard.

It's going to be hard.

But it's going to help you.

That's why they don't come here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They stay there.

We're just kind of giving like, you know, doctors without borders.

Like we are just

with borders.

It's giving boundaries.

Yeah, it is.

And know thyself.

The three words, it's giving boundaries are three words I never want to say ever again.

Like that to me is like the lowest bar internet talk, like three brain cells.

It's giving boundaries.

But it depends if you're saying it in a positive or negative way.

Well, I was, if I'm saying it ironically, I'm all here for it, but I just said it like in a dead serious way.

And I'll never say it again because I'm listening and I'm learning.

And you're doing better.

I am doing better.

Thank you.

It's giving, doing better.

It's giving best.

It's

doing better every day,

which is all we can strive for.

There are people who really talk like that.

No, I know.

But they don't listen to this podcast.

What do you say after that?

Those people aren't listening to this podcast.

So I feel good about that.

I think that's actually something we've actively sought out is like avoiding getting that type of audience.

Yeah.

But you're persona nata.

What does persona non grata mean?

Like

unimportant?

No, um, like anonymous?

No.

Persona non grata, like X, like bad person or radioactive.

Yeah, I think.

I'll see what it translates to.

What is it?

Latin?

Oh, I kind of like that.

I didn't know that that's what it meant.

And I feel as though I use the word radioactive actually quite a lot.

A persona non-grata, it's in diplomacy, is a foreign diplomat who was asked by the host country to be recalled to their home country.

Okay, so.

Oh, it's giving expelled.

Right, but what does it mean colloquially?

A person who is unacceptable or unwelcome.

It's giving X.

It's like something I like truly never want to be.

You're not persona non grata.

No, but I have been in my in my life.

For sure.

Personally, professionally.

Never with you, though.

You've always made me feel like a person with grata.

You're so grata to me.

You're grata to me.

That original song from Ted.

You're Timeless to Me.

It's from Ted?

Yeah, right?

When?

Wait, there's an original song in the opening credits of Ted the Movie, the first one.

Ted Movie Original Song.

Is that, that's it, right?

You're time.

Everybody needs a best friend.

No, there's a different song.

I'm not about my bet.

No, but you're Timeless to Me song is.

It's from Hairspray.

Oh,

it always comes back to hairspray.

That's a low in the movie.

You could definitely use the bathroom to get a snack.

Who's singing your Teless to Me?

John Travolta.

Yeah, and they're dancing around in the laundry on the roof.

Get a snack.

He's the best room.

Okay, by the way, I think there's also another low,

big blonde and beautiful, when Michelle Pfeiffer and John Travolta are like

singing it separately.

Yeah.

That's, I think, probably the worst song in the movie.

A lot to do with the parents is definitely.

Yeah.

You could skip.

Check your phone.

Yeah, I completely agree.

Yeah.

Turn it off.

And like my whole life, I've just always been like a little dehydrated, just on the spectrum, just on the cusp of seriously having to go to the hospital.

I've drink, I'm drinking like six bottles of water a day here.

I always take one out of the fridge.

They're so good.

I love them.

And they just look like regular water.

Today's episode is also brought to you by The Big Flop.

Whether it's making junk food healthy or the latest wellness trend, food innovation is a constant pursuit, but when it fails, it fails miserably.

On each episode of Wondery's podcast, The Big Flop, comedians join host Misha Brown to chronicle one of the biggest pop culture fails of all time and try to answer the age-old question, who thought this was a good idea?

In the late 90s, an oil substitute called Olestra exploded onto the market in the worst possible way.

The idea was that you could eat as many snacks as you wanted without gaining any weight, but there were a few catches.

It didn't work.

And it also gave consumers horrific digestive problems.

Decades of research and billions of dollars went down the toilet.

So to hear the full story of Olestra, follow the Big Flop on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcast.

You can listen to the Big Flop early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery Plus.

I think that's a great concept for a podcast, The Big Flop.

And I had not heard about the Olestra

saga of the early 90s.

And that sounds fabulous.

So go listen to that after you listen to the toast.

Yes, and after you listen to the redheads.

Of course.

Our first story, The Voice making news.

The new coaches this season have been announced.

Adam Levine is returning to The Voice as a coach.

John Legend, Michael Boble,

and first-time coach Kelsey Ballerini.

And I just want to say, Kelsey Ballerini deserved more than this group of losers.

Like, you guys know how I feel about Michael Boble.

Okay, I know how you feel about Michael Boblet.

But I actually think, and apparently he's a returning coach.

So this isn't.

But I hadn't known that he was coaching coaching on the voice and so now I'm evaluating that choice and I actually think he would he's a good choice for one of these shows because he's super talented he's very musical and he covers a category that's not really represented I don't even know what to call it opera it's it's wannabe Frank Sinatra voices it's wannabe Frank Sinatra BVs it's like a Josh Groban's like wish you wish you were Josh Groban and but I also feel like weirdly on the voice and these talent shows a lot of people have that sort of voice they don't know what to do with it and Michael Bubai could show you how to make a career of it.

So once again, they're trying to make me, and by they, I mean you trying to make me like Michael Boblet.

I won't.

Michael Booblay, Instagram live with wife, go search it.

Like seriously, he gives me the Willies.

I'll never forget that.

Like seriously, it was so chilling.

But I also.

It's very rare that there is somebody walking around wearing such a mask of who they are.

And to see it publicly slip.

Yeah.

I'll never forget it.

It gave me such a chill down my spine.

I think about her all the time.

And I think his wife's name is Claudia.

Like, maybe that's why i felt

interpersonally connected to the story they can never make me like him and i won't i will also say a reason why he's might not be a great judge even though apparently he's been judging and it's going well is like i feel like on a personality level not the best no he thinks he's like a real and the thing is and it's a very much a talking head job you have to come up with like jokes and one-liners and there have also been like rumors allegedly that michael booblay is just like diva like he thinks he's like such a big star and um in some circles yeah maybe he is a star but like on the voice and with all these other like actually famous people, like Michael Bublay is probably the least famous, I would say.

Would you agree?

No, in this situation, like objectively, Kelsey's coming in.

Yeah, as like the newbie.

Yeah.

Whatever.

I just think he's going to have a hard time like not being like the biggest.

Number one guy in the group, like for real.

He gives me like nightmare energy.

I just really don't like him, first of all.

Second of all, like, have we been waiting?

But I think of the three male judges, he is like this, that really has to prove himself more than anyone else.

Whereas like Kelsey, like, one, she's the only female.

Like two, she's so fabulous.

Like we're all listening to what she's saying.

She does not have to work as hard as he will.

When you come in and you're like the only country, you're like bound to get like so many people on your team.

And the only female.

Yeah, so true.

I could see her winning.

Were we all waiting around for Adam Levine to come back?

Like, I also don't love Adam Levine.

Like, I

like him as a voice judge.

No, I feel like that's.

I think he should stay in that chair for life.

Forever.

Like, him and Blake Shelton should do the voice for life.

Weirdly, I think they all work well.

I agree.

And also all the changing of the, not that I watch the voice, so this isn't for me.

Maybe the voice watchers are like, we like fresh judges every season, but I like consistency.

I agree.

And I like the idea of like, I think that's when American Idol really started to go south when we

strayed from Simon, Paula, and Randy, but Simon stayed around for a while.

Yeah.

And we don't have that like one constant.

It was Blake Shelton, but this is, I think, his first season not being on.

And then when Blake Shelton's there, I won't go in Stefani there.

Yeah.

Just to finish up the circle, I also don't like John Legend.

No, no, me neither.

So

I just think Kelsey deserved better.

Here's my dream lineup for Kelsey.

Okay.

Even though they're like all country.

I'll have to switch it up.

Okay.

Kelsey, Kelly Clarkson.

I'm going to try and go two boys, two girls.

Honestly, bring back Celo Green.

Like, he was great and funny.

And I would love Blake Shelton, but like him, Kelly, and Kelsey, it's like too much.

Okay, but can't you just build a favorites voice cast?

Like not about Kelsey, just about like your faves.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

And I i won't include

kelsey well i haven't seen her on yet but you know but really just kelly i liked when christina was on too yeah

i like the ogs they should do an og season who's og blake adam christina

christina was og sure

original voice judges i think you're right that sounds familiar to me and i think

Christina, Guillera Silo, Green, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton.

Yeah.

I also just feel like we can't talk about The Voice without me just mentioning how like being a judge on a show like The Voice is literally my dream job.

Sitting.

Sitting and telling people they either.

In a big chair.

Sitting in a big chair, being on camera, like in millions of homes, telling people either like they're not good at singing or if they are like getting to hear beautiful people singing my favorite popular music.

I actually can't think of a more amazing job.

Well, it doesn't even matter if they're beautiful because you don't see them.

No, the voice is beautiful.

Oh, beautiful.

And I don't even have to turn around.

There's literally a button.

It's like a robotic chair.

You literally could not have created a job more perfect for me.

Yeah.

I would do American Idol too, X-Factor.

Like I loved

to watch those and I would love to be on them.

That's like seriously my dream.

Okay, but how would you feel about, and I feel like- How would you feel if your father married someone your own age?

Yeah.

I feel like with the voice, you don't get bad singers.

You just get some people who aren't like amazing, like who have a nice voice.

Yeah.

Maybe they should sing on their podcast sometime, but they shouldn't pursue singing.

So like, how would you feel about being a dream crusher?

I think I would prefer that over being on American Idol where they actually have like bad singers come on.

That feels mean-spirited to me.

And I think I would get a pit if somebody came on and they're like such a bad singer, knowing like

they just used to embarrass them.

I'm sure if we watch now, like we realize they don't really do bad singers anymore.

Yeah, the voice to me seems like the most humane.

I guess you could just like not turn and like you've said what you said.

Yeah, and even when they don't turn, they turn around and they always say nice things like come back and then give them helpful tips.

You know, I love to criticize and like reconstruct them.

But I'm like Simon, like don't come back if you're not if you don't have what it takes to make it like don't waste your time i'm doing you a favor if somebody was really bad

i wouldn't tell them to come back not really bad see this is the part that's hard good

really good not great not good enough no but you know what the most like popular singers in the world aren't the best vocalists in the world

like just because like Pop stardom and singerdom musicians, it's not a meritocracy because if it were, like half the people who are famous would not be famous.

For sure, but this is called the voice, not the brand.

No, not like the luck.

Not the songwriter.

That's so fair.

We're going voice only.

This is the voice.

I love what they did there.

Also, one of my favorite parts of the voice is like once or maybe twice a season, they have all the four coaches sing together.

I, again, won't be watching this one because I like literally hate three out of four of the judges and I love one of them, which sucks.

But you know which one one I really loved?

Reba, Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, and John Legend.

They got together and sang, I think like a Holland Oats song, like a really went, and I had never heard of the song.

Running down the road, trying to loosen my load, I swear this time and all my mind.

Like Niall carried and Reba was there helping.

Niall literally opened.

So good.

It's one of my, I saw it on TikTok.

I remember I was like literally drunk in the back of an Uber just scrolling TikTok.

I saved it.

I couldn't stop watching it.

And I kept waiting for them to like drop it on streaming platforms.

They didn't.

It was so good.

Maybe you just like Hall and Oates.

No, I don't, but so random.

Did you see Oates is on GMA this morning talking about their feud?

No.

Apparently, I'm going to misrepresent Hall is suing Oates or Oates is suing Hall.

I think Oates wanted to sell his 50% of like the catalog and Hall was like not down.

And Hall then sued him, claiming he was trying to sell it to like a, it's literally wrote in the, in the document, Bad Faith Actor.

I don't know what's going on, but the Holland Oates community, like, they're devastated.

Michael Strahan was like, will you guys ever work together?

The guy was like, fuck no, he's suing me.

Like for real, for years.

Like, I hate this man.

Wow.

Yeah.

Also, I'm sure it's more like yours.

The judges that you just also grouped, like, doesn't sound good to me either.

Oh my God, it sounds amazing.

Reba.

Gwen, you love Gwen.

Niall, Niall was amazing.

And then John Legend.

It's hard.

I think I'm a really tough critic.

I'm a tough judge of judges.

Yeah.

Oh, Ari was good.

But she kind of was like too big.

She like sucked all the air out of the room.

Yeah.

It's never who you think.

Like, that's my favorite judges in her story aren't the people who are like my favorite singers even.

Yeah, Alicia Keys was good.

Yeah.

I guess I also don't watch, like never really have watched.

So I'm just like.

Yeah, we have a lot to say for two girls who don't watch.

Meaning like pregnancy notions based on like maybe minute long snippets I've seen of their personality over the years.

Do me a favor.

When you crawl into bed tonight, don't start feeling sad, okay?

Google Reba Nile.

I will.

Google that performance.

It'll give you chills.

You guys, watch it right now.

I don't doubt that it's a good performance.

I'm just saying, like, I don't want to hear all of them.

I'm sorry, the song is by the Eagles.

I remember now.

That's funny.

I kind of want to, like, I need to learn that song.

Like, it really made me like the song.

Got seven minutes on my

six of perfectly cast talent shows bring back Songland.

She didn't miss a beat, okay?

Bring back Songland.

Where is Songland?

Where is Esther?

Stonesta Songland.

Where is Shane?

Where is Ryan?

Like, literally, perfection.

Like, and so many songs that I love were from Songland.

And they had great talent.

They had great songwriters.

They had great judges.

They had great guests.

Like, perfection in a show.

Another thing COVID took from us.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I kind of want to re-watch it.

No, it's so good.

It's so good.

Of course, it's so good.

Like, everything I love doesn't get a third season.

Yeah.

Just know, like, if you and Jackie have something in common that you like love it's getting canceled so you should probably just stop watching what happened to the show Songland it's been close to two years since the last episode of Songland aired fans have been wondering if there will be a third season here's latest information

those articles like never actually tell you anything Claudia there's literally nothing no they start like what is songland where could you have watched songland and then it's like what happened to songland and there's an ad Yep, that's exactly what happened to me.

Every time I go to like, like look something up that I actually need to know the answer to, no.

no well i'm sure it's like not canceled neither here nor there i just sort of in the nbc's waiting to see if there's enough buzz let's create the buzz yeah but songland like getting canceled is exactly like it makes perfect sense meanwhile it was too good for this world yeah you know yeah

are you ready for our next story yeah A little more Ben and Jen news because divorce rumors are heating up as their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion pops up on a real estate site.

Ooh, that's not good.

In a potential sign of estrangement, which we will evaluate the potentiality based on the facts.

Photos of JLo and Ben Affleck.

Based on

help.

Oh, we don't discriminate based on gender.

Here at Elyria, we don't discriminate based on gender.

Iconic.

Like, seriously, ally.

Giving champion of women.

Here at Elyria, we don't discriminate.

based on gender.

I'm so glad we just like were able to place that.

Yeah.

Photos of Jalen Ben Affleck's marital home have reappeared online.

According to the Daily Mail, a number of previously unavailable images were uploaded to the Zillow profile of the couple's Beverly Hills Mansion on June 1st and 5th, signaling that though still listed as sold, it may soon be back on the market along with the pop star and actor.

Oof.

Okay, so just want to say, like, it's not confirmed for sale.

No.

But like, it looks like they're preparing it for sale, like uploading photos and things.

Because properties don't like having photos of their homes online unless they absolutely have to.

Yeah.

So let's just say for argument's sake, it's going to be on

the market.

To me, like this is a smoking gun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I guess like they're not going to like their kid didn't just graduate from high school and they're empty nesters.

It's better like their family's getting bigger, you know, blended.

And also if they are going through a hard time based on like professional stuff, I think they are going through a hard time, but they're working through it is what I think.

It's not the time to move from one $60 million mansion to another.

Unless, by the way.

Can you fresh?

No, like you could argue.

you could argue like this house has bad memories or maybe something happened like maybe like someone cheated and they're trying to work through it and it's like let's do it in a new house because there's too many memories in this house even though they've literally been married for five minutes i think that you know earlier in the week or if it was last week like arguing that yeah you know her tour being canceled and these rumors like two things can you know be not true and they can like we can explain it away the house being for sale like to me is unignorable well it's not for sale yet and this could just be like a weird coincidence a glitch i One of my favorite things.

But the photos went back up.

If it goes for sale, I won't say it's a weird coincidence, but still, like, there is

an opportunity for doubt.

Because one of my favorite things about you is like, you never give up.

No, I don't.

I go down with the ship.

You will go down with this ship.

And I love that about you.

But sometimes you have to know when to jump overboard.

100%.

And I'm saying it's not the time.

Okay.

I'm getting closer to the edge of the deck.

Okay.

But I'm not jumping ship yet.

Okay.

Just because some pictures were uploaded.

Okay.

However, add it to the pile of compelling case.

Compelling evidence.

Yeah.

Compelling evidence in the McKenzie file.

Yeah.

Add it to the pile of evidentiary support.

Yeah.

I will, unfortunately.

So just to keep you abreast, shun the rumors.

And I love talking about celebrity real estate, especially as it pertains to one Jennifer Lopez, because, you know, she used to own the house that Darit and Pique

rented.

Rented.

As of last season, were they still in that house?

Oh, no, they bought their own house, right?

That farmhouse that looks like it's on the valley.

Yeah, but like, yeah, like if the people on the valley like made double what they make, triple.

Triple, triple.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's so like not Beverly Hills.

I think that's what a lot of houses look like now.

And Beverly Hills.

Like we see it on Santa Lean Sunset, too.

Yeah, yeah.

I moderate.

Like Beverly Hills housewives.

Because it's modern.

She's younger.

Like it's the modern look.

That's the marital home.

Yeah.

It's just, like, so crazy how that is going to be.

Like, the way that we look at, like, sunken living rooms and carpeted everything are the way like in 30 years, they're going to look at modern floors.

Open concept, gray floors.

Yeah.

Like, wood, light wood floors, beams.

Yeah, beams.

But it looks nice.

You should get a beam in your house.

I feel like your house is like beamy.

It is beamy.

Like just a beam for looks.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll call the beam guy.

Yeah, yeah.

1-800 beam.

1-800 got beam?

I actually think you can just like add decorative beams.

Yeah, Joanna does it all the time.

I guess, but it does not feel fraudulent.

No, it's like, it's definitely ideal and authentic when you have like a load-bearing wall that needs a beam, like for sure.

And then you can, you know, dress it up.

And I think that's how beams got popular.

It's like we had to put this beam in, but what if we made the most of this situation and dressed it up a little bit, you know, put a put a scarf on it?

And then it became so commonplace because there's so many load-bearing situations where it was like, now we're doing beams just, you know, for fun.

Yeah.

And I would argue most beams that you see in, in modern homes, like, aren't beaming anything up, you know?

I feel like Shannon added beams.

I don't know.

I can't remember.

I have to ask her about her beam experience.

And you know what beams literally are?

Like if you went to camp, like we had beams.

It was called the rafters.

We hung our towels on there.

They're rafters.

We hung from the rafters and so did our towels.

That's how we dried our towels because we only had laundry like once every two weeks.

But now everyone would know my beams aren't load-bearing, that they're false beams.

And once again, here we are being far too authentic.

Yeah.

For our, like, literally for our own good.

We're destroying our own brands for the sake of authenticity.

So now I can't get beams.

Yeah.

We guess I'll just have to move to a house that with real beams.

But no, on Chip and Joe, like, she's always putting in beams.

Sometimes for fun and sometimes not.

But when they put in like beams that are like load-bearing, they have to be huge.

Chip and shorty are like seriously always bright red in the face lifting them up.

They're so heavy.

Well, I wouldn't be lifting my own beams.

No, no.

And yours would be fake, so they would be hollow.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Or number three.

Yeah.

Jake Gyllenhall says being legally blind has been advantageous to his acting career.

So Jake Gyllenhal says he has a unique advantage.

The actor opened up about how being legally blind has helped him in his acting career, saying he prefers to look at the disability as advantageous.

He said, I've never known anything else.

When I can't see in the morning before I put on my glasses, it's a place where I can be with myself.

The Oscar nominee relied on that practice during one of his pivotal scenes from the movie Southpaw.

When police tell his character that spoiler alert, his wife died.

Jake, how sad.

Jake performs the scene without his contacts to listen better, he said.

This isn't the first time the Spider-Man star has discussed his 20-slash-1250 vision.

In an interview with The Telegraph in 2017, he recalled being an easy target for bullies as a kid because of his corrected glasses.

I mean, all I can think about is he's a nerd who takes this off his glasses.

He used to be a little kid with glasses and a twin size but oh yeah and like he really needed glasses he's never been able to see yeah um it's just so crazy that like because when i think of blind of course i think of like you know andrea bocelli stevie right not like i put on my glasses and i can see right but that really is what like blind like is especially like legally blind but it's just really crazy that um

like you can be calling yourself blind but like you're also like when i think of blind it's like you never see no matter what goes on your eyes right um

and once again, it's just a reminder.

Like seriously, we are so blessed.

Like you nor I, we don't wear glasses, we don't wear contacts.

Like, and my husband does, and I see there's all it takes.

Yeah, it's crazy to think about like waking up in the morning and not being able to see until you do your glasses or your contacts.

That's not something you or I

experience.

Like Olivia, like she can like see like stuff, but not, it's blurry.

Yeah.

I wonder if you too.

Yeah.

Ben, Ben, Ben can see, just not like amazing.

Yeah.

it's a really crazy to think about.

And so I didn't know his vision was that bad.

Me neither.

And it's always been that bad.

That's why he was the little kid with glasses in his twin-size bed.

And so I guess what Jake Gyllenha is saying, you know, is that he's an optimist.

He sees the glass half full.

The glasses.

Yeah.

He sees the glasses half full.

And it's helped.

I mean, yeah, I guess when you're cancer, your other senses are heightened.

Isn't that what they say?

Yeah.

I mean, talk about,

you know, leaning in.

Yeah.

Making the most.

I wonder.

So he wears contacts then?

I assume.

Remember that Substack about Jake Gyllenhal?

That was really crazy.

Well, allegedly about Jake Gyllenhal?

Medium.

Yeah, what's medium?

Like another?

A form, like a writing platform.

Yeah, it wasn't Substack.

Oh, okay.

It was like, and he was in that play.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and it was totally him.

That 1000%, I think.

I actually think about that thing a lot.

That was really well written, first of all.

It sounded like a short story, but it like was totally not.

non-fiction.

The girl, she was like this writer and she told this story about how she like interned at like a theater for a summer or whatever.

And there was like this big A-list leading actor, and she like was, you know, working for him.

And she had some really fucking crazy stories.

And they like started this like a fair.

Yeah.

And he was such a prick.

And there were a couple of clues that like made us think that it was JJ Len Hall.

She used the word Swiftly quite a lot.

No, but also the time and the year and the season.

Like he was on a show and she was talking about some of the costumes and those costumes are part of that era of the show that he was doing.

Yeah.

And I just want to say, like, my heart goes out to Maggie.

Why?

I feel like a lot of her career and like her public persona.

I'm just going to like apologize.

Like, is at first it was just like, she's Jake Gyllenha's sister.

And then when things went south with Jake Gyllenhaal, like then she was like out here picking up the pieces, like having to explain on Watch Rebins Live.

Like, I feel sorry for her, even though she's like, you know, Nepal's sister.

Yeah, she's fine.

She's fine.

Yeah.

I just think about her a lot.

I think you think about her a lot regardless.

And then I also think about her a lot, you know.

Because of her hair.

Because of her hair.

Yeah.

It's just like not a style I would personally personally ever choose and she's had it for years like so she's choosing it over and over regardless it's kind of like every day is Tuesday for her

regardless of what you think

yeah it's like she's waking up every day and choosing violence you know yeah it's not like she got one haircut right I mean we've all been

like one bad haircut but it's like she drinks it like

annually, biannually, tri-annually.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

No.

Good.

I didn't think you were.

Is it our next story that's brought to you by Vegamore?

It is.

We're always trying to do right by our bodies.

So when it comes to our hair and scalp health, finding a product that actually works, but is also made with clean ingredients does always feel like a trade-off.

But with Vegamore, we are getting products that are made with clean ingredients and they're also working.

They're giving us visibly healthy hair and scalp.

So as you guys know, like my personality trait is that a year ago, I went through like probably one of the worst times in my life where my hair was shedding.

You know, I would brush it, I would take a shower, and there would just be like more than the average in the drain on the floor.

And it really started to freak me out when I could see a lot more of my scalp, especially like up here by the front.

And I knew that it was because I had had a drastic change in diet and weight loss.

And I get asked a lot of questions about what I did during that time.

And one of them was the Vagamore Gross Serum.

It's actually something I still do because it's so easy.

It's a serum.

I'm on the subscription.

It comes every time.

So I never have to forget because the key with Vagamore and the Gross Serum is being consistent, like doing it every single night, massaging it into your scalp.

Why I like this serum over other serums is one, because it really worked for me.

And two, because it it doesn't make your hair oily.

So it's like, I can't put a serum in my hair every night.

I don't wash my hair every night.

And with Vagamore, like once it dries, you will not see it.

And you can do it every night, regardless of your hair washing schedule.

Their value kit, like the Grow Essentials kit, which is where the serum is sold,

gives you the ability to try more than one amazing product at a great savings.

So give your hair the power of the little pink bottle with Vagamore.

Our next story is a little biopic news, or as you guys call it, biopic.

Biopic.

Guess who's getting one?

Oh, okay, wait, let me think.

Have I heard about this yet?

You're not going to guess.

Okay, go.

Pharrell.

Okay.

And guess who's playing him?

You're not going to guess.

You're literally, it's impossible for you to guess.

Okay.

Legos.

So

piece by piece tells the story.

This is stupid.

No, but like, listen, piece by piece tells the story of Pharrell Williams' life via Lego animation for a unique biopic experience.

Amination?

Amination.

Pharrell Williams is bringing his life story to the big screen in a big way, but with tiny pieces, Lego bricks to be exact.

The first trailer for the artist's unique biopic, Piece by Piece, dropped Thursday more.

Boy, Kelly Clarkson's influence.

Yep.

Giving fans a look at what to expect from the film, which tells the story of his life and career through the movie magic of Lego animation.

Produced by Focus Features and held by Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville, who also did the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, this dock shows Pharrell's rise to fame told with the iconic plastic building blocks, which seemingly symbolize the boundless imagination of the celebrated performer.

Other featured artists who will be lending their voices to the story and will have Legos of themselves as well are Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbole, and Justin Timberlake, J-Pharrell's story?

Where they're getting their own story.

Oh, no, no, not getting their own.

In relation to his.

Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbole, and Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and Buster Rhymes.

I I want to say something.

I feel this is really stupid.

And let me tell you why, because I actually would love a documentary on Pharrell.

I feel like Pharrell is at this crazy level of success and

like accomplishments.

And I'm not really sure how he got there.

I feel like, and I feel like he's recently been doing a lot of like kids' stuff.

Like, didn't he do some work on the Grinch?

Yes.

And now Legos.

Like, I feel like he's really, he's in all avenues.

And I would love like a actually

like helpful, real person documentary.

And him telling his story with Legos, like, get the bag.

I'm sure Legos is paying up the ass.

Literally love that for you in every, every sense of the word.

You would do it too for a check.

However, um, as the celebrity documentary sort of police, it's not a documentary, it's a biopic.

Even worse, like seriously, I don't get it.

All's that to say, like, somebody, Netflix needs to get on a Pharrell documentary.

I feel like people are gonna make he already has one.

Let me see.

Yeah.

I'm talking big game.

And it's like, maybe I didn't even watch it.

Yeah.

No, I agree with you.

I probably won't watch the Lego movie of Pharrell.

No, by the way, he doesn't have a documentary.

But I think my husband will.

I think this is like for my husband.

He loves Pharrell and like he likes innovative animation like this.

He likes

that like football game.

That wasn't Legos.

That was Toy Story.

But still, I'm sure there was a Lego one too.

I hate this.

And maybe I'm just feeling like negative because I've been like telling every story that it's crap.

Like every story you've been saying, I'm like, this sucks.

Okay.

Well, you'll like the next one.

I know that for sure.

Oh, that's good.

i know it for sure that you're gonna like the next one so i just i just think like pharrell's story deserves to be told with a little more deference than lego's but like he probably chose this so are you saying you know pharrell better than he knows himself is that what you're saying no i think i don't know pharrell really at all and that's why i could use a real documentary understood well our next story is about one of our favorite people and he's joining his ex-wife's podcast and in case you forgot peter facinelli was married to jenny garth for 12 years.

I did forget that.

He went on her podcast and talked about their marriage.

And the episode is called part one.

So like, this is a multi-part podcast.

And he says his marriage to Jenny Garth felt arranged in their first joint discussion.

Arranged or arranged?

Arranged.

In their first joint discussion, 12 years after their divorce.

I had no idea, like no idea that he had, you know,

to me, like he just sort of was born Carlisle.

And then after that, like, I don't know, I just, it's hard for me to imagine that he had anything going on in his life before Carlisle.

Do you know what I mean?

But I guess it's like how he got the role.

When you hear this story, it kind of tracks with it yourself.

Okay.

So exes Jenny Garth and Peter Faccilli are opening up like never before

in the late Facinelli.

How is it really pronounced?

Facinelli.

No, like Facinelli.

Peter Facinelli.

Fat.

Like we say things weird to know.

Facinelli.

Peter Faccilli?

Yeah.

I don't know.

In the latest episode of Jenny's podcast, I choose me with Jenny Garth.

The former spouses sit down together for the first time publicly since their 2012 split to discuss the pitfalls in their 12-year marriage.

It's like really crazy to have your ex-husband on your podcast.

I love that.

Right?

Facinelli's decision to divorce and how they've handled co-parenting in the years since they discussed.

And they have a kid.

Okay, the plot.

So he said, we came together very fast, very furious, and very quick.

And I remember thinking, well, let's move in together and see how it goes.

And it just went.

Five years went by, and I thought, well, we should get married.

Then we got married and had another kid.

It was almost like an arranged marriage in a way and things seemed well.

We had disagreements here and there, but I think we were really young.

He noted that she already had an established career by the time he met her in his early 20s.

He said that they were at very different places in their lives.

He said, I didn't have a sense of who I was.

And so I was just trying to be all these things for other people.

When that fell apart, it took me time to try to get in touch with me.

He repeated the sentiment that it felt like they had an arranged marriage.

He said, I loved you and we had this beautiful family from the outside, but I hadn't developed who I was.

So, how could you love me?

I didn't know me.

He also confirmed to Jenny that he didn't feel like he had the space to figure out who he was within their marriage.

He said, Considering all of that, we really did last a long time, I think, because of the children.

She said that.

She said, I think if we didn't have children, I wouldn't have stayed.

Sorry, he said that.

Oh my God,

because of the freedom to go.

Okay, I need to figure out who I am.

He felt like.

So, how old were they in 2012?

He was in his early 20s.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, I I feel like by the time they divorced, he was probably like 30.

This is like literally why, you know,

people say like, you shouldn't get married young.

And this is like when people used to, like, when I was getting married, people were like always commenting on how young I was.

And I thought it was so annoying.

And now like, I fully understand like, no, I shouldn't have gotten married that young.

And thank God things worked out the way that they did.

But it's true, like you change so much in your early 20s, even like your late 20s.

And you could like either change into a person that you.

your partner hates your partner could change into someone that you hates you hate or if especially at like a high level like fame fame if someone's like having so much success and like feeling so sure of who they are and like feels like they're coming into their own and peter foch is kind of like this miserable loser like that can make it difficult too they must be in like a this is such a healthy conversation and they must be like so far out of it he and their kids are probably like in their 20s grown and you know this isn't going to traumatize them yeah and he is married i know with a baby and she must be like you have to be really healed to not only have this conversation but to have it publicly yeah i like that but i don't know if saying that you shouldn't get married married young like it should be a blanket statement for everyone because no it shouldn't oh okay i thought you said no you just said like don't get married young no but when people used to say that to me i'd be like what the do you know but honestly like that wasn't terrible advice yes yeah it is like and i feel like who talks about that that uh

JC Marie Smith, she talks about that a lot too.

Like she was always told like, you're gonna get married so young.

And she was like, honestly, like, yikes, like, we're so, like, we've been through so much.

And you can see how why people say that.

Yeah.

But, like, it worked out for you guys.

Yes.

and so it's okay.

But you're saying you could see how it wouldn't, yeah, and how you're honestly more likely to grow apart, yeah.

But I think, like, if you think about you and Ben have grown, it's not like you've grown and he's grown, it's just a coincidence that you both like who you still are.

Like, I think he's influenced the way that you've grown, and you've influenced the way that he's grown, so you guys are like a vine that's very intertwined, and that's how it should be.

But I think sometimes people live parallel lives that can happen at any age, though.

True, also very true,

trails, as the kids say.

So, you know, not just one thing for everyone.

That kind of brings the episode completely full circle because that is what we were talking about at the beginning.

Yeah, different strokes for different folks.

And just like, you know, and that's on respecting boundaries.

That is on respecting boundaries.

However, if everybody has their boundaries up, then we'll never speak to each other.

So sometimes you've got to let the walls down.

Kind of the message of green eggs and ham.

Oh, I read a couple of children's books yesterday yesterday.

I wanted to remark on.

Okay.

The little engine that could.

Crap.

Overrated.

Climbing.

Overrated.

Not fun to read.

Not fun to read.

Doesn't rhyme.

Like, I like the message, of course, but they take a really long time to get there.

It's kind of like a memoir.

Like, it's so long.

And by the time we get to, I think I can, I think I can, like, is your kid still awake even?

Do they even get to the punchline?

But I did enjoy like figuring out that like this thing we all, we all say, like, I think I can.

It's kind of become like a very commonplace thing.

I didn't realize it came from that book.

So I like that.

I like learning that.

I also read

Kelly Breanne's novel.

River Rose and a Magical Lullaby by Kelly Clarkson.

Now that's a fun read.

I also like that there's a matching song.

I didn't know the melody.

So of course I had to improvise, which I was completely comfortable doing, but I realized some parents and aunties aren't as talented as I am, and that must be challenging for them.

I do wish, I thought, because on the cover, there's a little circle that says, there's a music that comes along with it.

And I thought if I pushed it, it would play.

Oh.

For the next printing, I think Kelly should work on getting that type of book made.

Yeah, yeah, but maybe she has has to go to a different manufacturer and it's just like scan the qr code and play the song and deal with it there wasn't a qr code they gave a really long website which i thought was a miss mistake it was probably before create qr codes qr code but i liked the book i thought i loved it it was giving story baby's day out like yeah she has this adventure but then she comes home because home is the best place i love the message and then she still gets to go to the zoo we can still do fun things what are we teaching the kids like home is always there for you home is the best like i loved that because as a homebody like a love of animals of course river rose and her dog joplin joplin loved the name joplin like like the musical influences were just boundless kelly brianne gets the turdy stamp of approval and i also read this like it was kind of like a pamphlet from wonder woman i didn't really like it but i love thin book i don't know what those books are called but we have a couple of them this one was the wonder woman one it was pretty crappy although i did love that you're teaching your boys you know strong positive female influences like hello auntie mom like how could they not you know walk away from this life like with an appreciation kind of looks like cogers

she doesn't not look like cojers for sure and then the other one i read read was about a rocket cute let's go on a rocket so those are my favorite books and we have all of them and i just oh no i'm still waiting for let's go on a bicycle but we're about to complete the collection and i have to shout out they're actually british and if you read all of them like you'll realize like oh they're drinking tea in the afternoon and they like have some words that are a little different from ours let me guess where you got it

The Buckingham Palace gift shop.

Yes, because when I was shopping around the Platinum Jubilee, there was a book called Let's Go on a Carriage and it was in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee.

So we bought that book.

It's a board book.

It rhymes.

It's like eight or 10 pages.

And that was like a year and a half ago.

And it was a really good book.

And at the back of the book, they show you the other ones in the series.

Let's go on a tractor, let's go on a train.

And so I like ordered one or two more.

And then we, like, those were always just such a hit.

And then when you go to the back of the book, you see all the ones that they have.

And then like Harry would point to one and we didn't have that one.

So then I would go and find that one.

But they're kind of hard to track down.

I've gotten most of them.

One of them.

One of them I had to buy, like, used on Amazon.

Like, you'll see it.

Oh, damn.

Oh, although I will say about Kelly Brianne's novella,

I do feel like there was like a piece of the puzzle missing because one whole page was ripped out.

Yes, one page is ripped out.

And, you know, in children's book, one page is like four because I didn't, like, so let's say page five got ripped.

That means like the second half of page four.

And the first half of page six.

Yeah.

I thought the book actually felt shorter than it usually does.

Because there's a big old page missing.

Yeah.

which is really like four there is a page missing i was wondering what happened because last time i read the book i was like i feel like the page was ripped and then yesterday magically there was no rip because the page was gone yep good times you have to read jamie lee curtis's book next where do i go where do they go to kill turtles in the ocean no no no it's not like that oh good she is it's not environmental like a radical no it's more like it's giving afterlife sweet Let me know what you think.

I wish I hadn't inserted that on you because I would love to know like what you thought the message was.

Okay, I'll look at a tabular rasp, I promise.

Yeah, I'll pick out some good ones for you.

Any celebrity books that you have, I would love to sort of do a ranking of celebrity children's books.

Do you have any Jimmy Fallons?

They're really popular.

No, I don't, but Lauren Elizabeth, when she was on the podcast, like bashed them to filth.

She said they're horrible.

Okay.

I trust her.

Like mama, dad, dad, or whatever the fuck.

Yeah, yeah.

She said so bad.

Wow.

I trust her too.

100%.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, on to the next.
