Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday.

Congratulations.

Congrats, grads.

Hope everybody's sort of, you know, feeling proud of themselves, tapping themselves on the backs.

Mazzletof, congrats, you did it.

It doesn't really feel like a Friday.

I haven't entered that Friday head space.

I hate to be like an ungrateful wench because I feel like every day we get on the show and we're like...

Just hoping and wishing that would be Friday.

Hunting and fishing and loving every day.

And then we get here and I don't know.

I don't want to be like ungrateful biting the hand that feeds me.

But like it's kind of like.

Not it's just not giving the good.

It's not giving what it needs to be given.

Do you know what I mean?

And I think that's just the nature of life.

Like you anticipate so long for something to come and then it comes and it just kind of sucks.

And I'm not saying today sucks.

I'm just saying it's not what I thought it would be.

It's not the joyous occasion that it usually is.

Maybe by the end of this episode, we'll have gotten into the Friday spirit, realizing that the weekend is upon us.

I mean, I could actually pinpoint why today's not giving positive energy.

And I don't want to start out complaining, but like I am going through a lot.

Okay, well, you have to speak your truth.

I sliced my finger open yesterday, like being an animal with my rotisserie chicken.

I was just eating it like so beast-like, Neanderthal-like, that I sliced really bad.

The knife went, oh my God, it hurts so bad.

It's literally still bleeding.

I definitely like hit bone.

It woke me up in the middle of the night.

I was up for two hours in the middle of the night.

Just my finger was throbbing in the band-aid.

It took me forever to get ready today.

I couldn't even do proper makeup.

I probably look heinous on YouTube.

Don't watch on YouTube.

Listen on Spotify.

Like it's affecting me in all.

It's all stitches.

For sure.

Like it's affecting me in all corners of my life.

And I'm in immense pain.

Immense pain.

Do you need to go to urgent care?

Do we need to wrap this up?

And like, I can't think about that.

Like when I think about the knife hitting, oh my God, I like could puke, you know?

Like, it was just, oh, and I was alone and I got like really freaked out, you know?

Like, you're losing a lot of of blood.

Right.

Like, what if I faint on all my new furniture?

Like, and my blood is everywhere.

Like, I.

That's not what's freaking out.

You're

no, of course.

No, of course.

It's like I'm alone and I fainted and I'm bleeding out.

Of course.

And that crossed my mind.

Like, who cares?

That gives a rip.

I feel like the furniture.

Miranda Hobbs in that very early season of Sex in the City, where she was like, you know, I'm a single woman living alone.

I choked on my Chinese food and my cats are going to eat my body before they find me.

For sure.

But I feel like for Miranda, that was a referendum on her life up until that point, just being being a single woman and not wanting to, you know, be alone

that could pose.

But for you, like, maybe it's a referendum on Ben's choices.

Maybe it is.

I'm so glad you brought that up because ask me, where was Ben at the time?

Where was Ben when his wife was laying on the floor bleeding out?

Recording good, guys.

Like four hours, like two episodes back to back.

Yeah.

Wow.

Shameful.

Yeah.

You should be ashamed.

Meanwhile, Turdy in the kitchen with the rotisserie bleeding out.

With the knife.

Yeah.

And did he apologize?

No.

I love how, like, you slice your finger open, you and you alone.

And it's Ben's fault.

Okay, you know what?

I'm also glad you brought that up.

Because Ben hasn't seen the colours.

He should have made you grilled chicken chopped into bits in the fridge already.

No, actually, I'm not an unreasonable person.

Like, of course, it wasn't his fault.

He hasn't seen the cut.

This morning I need to you know change my bandages

stitch up and it's the first time he's seen the open wound and he's like oh he's like so dramatic and it is really bad he's like oh and okay fine be dramatic and then he goes what did you do

victim blaming I'm like are you serious Ben you cut your fingers all the time because he's always in the kitchen and they're it's not as deep obviously I'm like, do I ever see that and say, oh my God, you're an animal.

You're dumb.

What's wrong?

No.

He didn't say that either.

He might as well have.

He might as well have.

He was victim blaming and shaming.

In the words of Oprah.

Blame, shame, game.

Blame, shame, and the weight loss game.

That's like one of my favorite things.

I actually keep thinking about the fact that she titled her special that.

Really?

Blame, shame, and tell it by my name.

And call me by my name.

Why?

You know, what was it even called?

It was blame, shame, weight loss game.

no blame and shame the weight loss revolution

there was revolution in there oprah special blame shame see look i can't even open my um

shame blame and the weight loss revolution it should have been shame blame and the weight loss game like

so i'm sorry you can't say shame or blame without it being shame blame and the turd is knife revolution

shame blame and turd is bleeding out on the floor.

Shame blame and Ben is blaming his wife.

Shame, blame, and down with the good guys.

That's the title.

Shame, blame, and down with the good.

No, I'm not giving them like title placement.

Okay, okay, okay.

Do you know, there are brands that would pay, there are a million girls who would want that job, you know?

Yeah.

Shame, blame, and the title revolution.

Title Revolution.

Oh, wait.

Is Beyonce's album a story?

Of course.

Okay, because I have a story worthy.

There are a lot of newsworthy items on the album.

So that's what I did this morning while getting ready, you know, with four fingers.

And, you know, I actually had a question that I wanted to ask you because I was thinking like...

Maybe I had to lose a finger.

Similar.

I think we should rank the fingers because right hand index,

it might be up there with one of your thumbs.

It's really a top three finger.

Yeah, it's number three.

Obviously, thumbs are one and two.

For me, my right thumb is one.

So obviously thumb is two.

I told you about this issue I've been having with my left thumb where I feel like I've lost connection from my brain.

Yeah, I've lost control.

I feel like my

left thumb has spun out of control.

My left thumb is like no longer in my control.

I would put it and I was more so asking like a universal ranking of the digits, not a personal one.

But I just want to say for me, like the left thumb, it could be eight or nine.

I don't think so.

Like your left thumb is what separates you from Romeo.

No, I wouldn't be able to be holding this beverage if I didn't have my left thumb and it's in my left hand right now.

Yeah.

So it would go right thumb, left thumb, right index finger, left index finger.

Yeah.

Then

the middle finger is obviously an iconic one.

It's an important one.

The ring finger, important too.

Not really on the right hand.

Just want to say, if I had to lose any finger, I think I might give up the right ring.

Not a pinky.

I mean, pinky's the obvious choice.

I don't know.

My pinkies, and I have like a, you know, body image issues when when it comes to my hands.

I think my pinkies are so like dainty and long.

They're kind of like the best of my fingers, you know?

Yeah, it's kind of a lovely finger.

Also, like, I like to get a wide grip on something.

I actually have a really wide finger span.

Yeah.

Something interesting about me.

Not you other bitches couldn't.

I can hit an octave on the piano easily.

Look at this spam.

Oh, hit a full octave.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A full octave on the piano.

I might even get that ninth key in there.

Okay.

I think we're pretty much saying

the pinky is germane to that for me and that's a big part of my identity and a big part of my identity is just like being comfortable picking my nose and every now and then like a pinky finger up the nose like scratches a corner

scratches a corner of the nose that like other fingers could never

so i've never been like a pick nose

but as a mom i've noticed that i pick I'm always like picking the girl's noses because it's like you have to get their boogers and it's just kind of like taken away the stigma for picking those.

And I find myself like picking my own nose.

So, Jackie, you are joining the pick nose revolution.

Blame, shame, and the pick nose game.

Yeah.

And I've been a crowd nose picker for years.

I'm not like really even trying to like stop it.

It's just, I realize that's why I like all the shame and blame around nose picking.

Jackie, I should do a special on it.

I'll host it.

I, you don't understand.

This is like the best news you've ever told me.

Like, I am overjoyed beyond belief to hear this from you.

It's

because it's like when I'm going, like, now kicking a nose is kind of just like this necessity in my life.

So whether it's me or them, it's like, I don't really have enough time to register.

Like, oh, this is the inappropriate one.

Like, this is the embarrassment.

Why is it inappropriate?

Like, if I see someone, you know, on the subway across from me getting like the eye gunk out of the corner of their eye, I don't think, ew.

It's literally the same thing.

Well, yeah, because you end up with the same question of where do you put it?

Right, right.

Well, I always these days, like a part of, I think, I genuinely think a part of getting older is no matter what time of year it is, and you can be perfectly healthy, like your nose is going to run.

I'm doing my makeup, my nose is running.

I walk to work, even if it's nice out, my nose is always running.

It's just like a new part of my life, and I always have a new or used tissue in my pocket.

Okay, say they say you're not so perfect that day and you don't have a tissue.

Like, let's get real.

She is evading the question.

Oh, are you asking me what I'm doing?

Okay, that's a good question.

I'm like,

no, I'm doing a little bit of this.

I'm rolling it up first, making it compact, making it, you know, safe for

check bag.

It's a check bag.

It's a check bag.

It's not a carry-on.

Okay, so we're rolling it up, decreasing its size.

And yeah,

a little flick.

So when I think about that case, you need your middle finger and your thumb.

Actually,

let me think.

Let me think.

Because I feel like nose picking, rolling, and flicking is a five-digit

activity.

It's a five-digit affair.

It's a five-digit.

Oh, the camera's coming out for a five-digit affair.

That song is so good, Jessica Simpson, Public Affair.

Yeah.

All of her songs, I'm loving angels instead.

You know, I can't, let's not get into Jessica Simpson.

You know, I'm not going to repeat.

We only have so much time.

We only have so much time.

Yeah, because this.

Today's episode is fabulous.

It's Friday, which means, you know, and I'm already feeling like I'm in better spirits.

We have our Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is our weekly segment where Jackie and I bestow the honor to two different people, places, or things for their queenie behavior or their weenie behavior.

I'm very excited.

This is the first week, I think maybe since the inception, where my queenie came to me almost immediately, and I really couldn't think of a weenie.

Interesting.

I'll let you know after the ad break how mine turned out.

Okay.

And then for the first time ever, this is our inaugural segment, our inaugural episode of our new monthly segment, Employee of the Month, where Jackie and I just sort of hype each other up for kind of being

a fabulous employee this month.

What did you do, Jackie?

What did I do to bring this company forward?

Yeah.

So every month there will be two employees of the month and they will be me and Claudia and we're just nominating each other as to like why we deserve that honor.

Yeah.

I mean, I am down to like make it competitive.

You know me.

Like I'm a nut.

So like you nominate you and I nominate me and then people vote?

No, no, oh no.

I can't.

We can't get the people.

That's hurtful.

That's toxic.

You nominate me and I nominate you.

And then we both like, we're honest with each other.

Whoever makes a more compelling case.

For sure.

But if you want to win, you would make a crappy case.

That's why it's not really.

It's giving, you know what it's giving?

Four weddings, an imperfect system.

Like in that show, and I'm always referencing that show.

It was imperfect.

Like the girl with the worst wedding, like always won because these bitches were out here and they had a system like to try and evade anyone sabotaging.

Like they would get rid of the lowest score.

But it was still like even if it was still not a perfect system.

You're right.

No.

You have to advocate for yourself.

Yeah.

But that's weird.

Yeah.

It's more fun when we hype.

No, Quadia.

We're going to be weenies about this and we're going to say everyone's a winner.

So are we the weenies of the week?

Because we're being

weenie-like.

Weenie-like.

This is so unlike us.

We hate when people, you know, give answers like, you're all the winners here.

Well, you're not.

Hmm.

Inherent contradiction within the show.

Hmm.

We'll have to think on it.

We'll have to think on it.

Let's get into the stories because we absolutely must.

Absolutely must.

Without further ado, to to do to do, here are the Festival stories that you need to know.

Oh, and today's episode is brought to you by Vanderpump Villa, the fun new reality series from our queen Lisa Vanderpump.

She has a new home on Hulu, and the show is an escape to the French countryside.

The series offers first-class luxury and world-class drama.

So, Lisa's staff are working, living, and playing together 24/7 while dealing with rivalry, romance, and misadventures.

And what I really like about this is giving, you know, the upstairs, downstairs, it's kind of giving like a modern downtown abbey, if you will.

So, Vanderpump Villa provides super entertaining and unfiltered portraits of life both saturated in and starkly without privilege.

So throughout the series, the new groups of guests will be arriving to the villa for a unique and lavish vacation.

The staff will have to be ready to cater to them on every whim.

It offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the staff are pushed to their limits to execute these one-of-a-kind celebrations like bachelorette parties, divorce parties, birthdays, while of course having to maintain composure and professionalism as this is an opportunity of a lifetime for each of them.

So it's really, it's giving class, it's giving elegance, it's giving that Lisa Vanderpump jeuna c'est qua, if you will.

It's happening in France.

It's this gorgeous villa.

So these young hot things doing their things, you know, while working for like these incredibly difficult people.

The show sounds amazing.

You can watch Vanderpump Villa.

It premieres April 1st only on Hulu.

So that's coming up.

This is not an April Fool's joke.

This is very much real.

The new show from Lisa Vanderpump is called Vanderpump Villa, and it is available to stream on Hulu starting and premiering April 1st.

Don't miss it.

I feel like that's a good one.

An absolute honor and a pleasure.

Our first story, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter album is here.

Here's every artist featured on the new album.

So Cowboy Carter dropped this morning.

The new project, also known as Act Two from her Renaissance release, has made its way to the U.S.

as of midnight on Friday.

She told her supporters, this is not a country album, this is a Beyoncé album.

But the 27 track body of work features some big-time

country heavy hitters.

It's a long album.

Okay, so I listened to, I thought I listened to half, but I must have listened to like a quarter this morning while I got ready.

So featured artists include Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.

Willie Nelson can be heard on Smoke Hour, Willie Nelson, and Smoke Hour 2.

Then she also collabed with Miley Cyrus and Post Malone for

Two Most Wanted and Levi's Jeans.

Then Linda Martell is also on the album.

And then other black country artists that appear include Rhiannon Giddens, Tanner Adel, and Willie Jones, and also Shabuzi.

So we were wrong about pretty much every single one.

Yep.

I don't think we didn't get one thing right.

Not until she literally said Dolly Parton is on the album.

And I think we said, oh, I think Dolly Parton's on the album.

And let's start there because Dolly doesn't sing.

Beyonce covers Jolene and then Dolly has like a cute little monologue in the beginning.

It's like super short.

And I have to say, I like died when I listened to the Jolene cover because it's not a cover.

It's basically, she changed every lyric, but it's the same song, if you know what I mean.

Yeah.

And

the message of Jolene is basically, you know, Dolly's man is seeing Jolene on the side.

And the song is like, Jolene, please, like, I know you're hot and sexy and you can have whoever you want.

Please don't take my man.

It's coming from a place of desperation.

Beyonce's song is very clearly remarking on Jay-Z's affair because Dolly's little monologue at the beginning says, I know you had an issue with the girl with the nice hair.

So it's very like personal.

And Beyonce is not in the slightest acting desperate.

It is honestly one of the meanest songs.

Like it's so funny.

It's so cutting.

It's a sleigh.

It's the total opposite of Jolene.

It's there's no pleading.

There's no begging.

It's like, girl, you're desperate, thirsty, and ugly.

Like Beyonce rips her to shreds and is like, I know you want my man.

Get the fuck away.

it's very um

different than jolene i loved it i also listened to the miley one i love that miley's on this album like for real and i think everyone that is such an interesting choice to me and i want to talk about it i want to like i want to understand more i couldn't have dreamed up something better if i tried but miley's kind of the only contemporary female artist on the album who's like major already

And I wonder, like, why Miley?

Maybe do you think she saw her at the Grammys like we all did and was like, this is

so talented?

I imagine like these things take more time than that.

Or because of Dolly.

No, not even.

I don't know.

I feel like Beyonce just like, Beyonce's a woman of taste, like for real.

She's a tastemaker.

She has,

she sees things in people, you know?

And I think, I really feel, I don't know what the connection is.

I do know they're also on the same record label and maybe it's like a business thing.

What's the record label?

I think it's Columbia.

Okay.

But still, like, I don't think Beyonce is playing.

No, me neither.

She doesn't play that game.

Contracts, no.

I don't know because it is so random, especially when, like, the two big collabs, there are a lot of features, but the collabs everyone's talking about are Post Malone and Miley, who are both not country artists.

They have country connections.

Post Malone is gearing up to release his own country album.

Miley, of course, is from Country Royalty, but they're not country artists.

No.

Which is interesting.

Up until this point, neither of them have put out a country album.

And I feel like it really makes sense when Beyonce released her

explanation for her reasons for doing this album.

She's like kind of mad at the country world.

So she wasn't going to give any like current country artists their flowers.

Like she was going to do it on her own, in her own way.

No, but then she does have Dolly and Willie.

But they're not like a part of, I think, the problem Beyonce was talking about.

Got it.

So I thought that was interesting.

And then it made me, of course, wonder the queen of country contemporary music.

Who is it?

Is Taylor.

Oh,

that's so funny.

I mean, I wish.

Like, she's from country.

These days, she's obviously a pop artist, but like

she's the most successful female country artist of all time.

Like, yes, technically, yes.

It's not even technicality.

That's just fast.

She hasn't released country music since red.

Even though red, no,

red was still, I think, in the country genre, but even when she was releasing country music, it wasn't country.

It sounded like pop, but like, her, she's the thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

Female country.

Dunda is not tailored.

Oh, so there is a theory.

So the.

I love the theory.

Beyonce said, like, I have a lot of surprises up my sleeve.

So, of course, the album came out.

The track list didn't even tell us everything that we thought we were going to get.

And there is a song called Bodyguard that has like background vocals that sound so much like Taylor, like for real.

And the writing credits for the album have not been released yet.

So a lot of people say the bodyguard sounds like a song Taylor would write or like co-write.

Her voice sounds, it sounds, you know, Taylor loves to have people on her songs and you can't hear them.

It sounds like Beyonce's pulling a Taylor.

Like she's literally in the background.

She goes, oh, like three times, but it really sounds like Taylor.

So that's the current working theory.

Oh, I like that theory.

And I would like that if Taylor wrote a song for this album.

I think it would be perfect.

Because Beyonce and Taylor putting out a song together, it's like, it's too much.

Like the world can't

handle it.

But something more subtle like that

would be lovely.

Yeah.

So that's just the running.

Say there's no Taylor on the album, which is what I I thought after the album dropped and there was no Taylor.

Don't you think that's interesting?

No, because I think it's been made like abundantly clear that these two, like they're their own planets, you know?

They are their own planets.

And they coexist.

Like there's peace there.

I think they really, really, I think for so long everybody like knew that like Taylor loved and respected Beyonce, but we were like, does Beyonce love and respect Taylor?

Because Beyonce is like so

was Beyonce is taken so seriously.

And up until recently, Taylor was not.

And it's been made abundantly clear over the last like year or two that like everyone loves everyone and it's all good.

But there's never been like a formal collab.

And I don't know what the first step in that would be.

Would it be a Beyonce song feature on Taylor's album?

Would it be a Taylor feature on Beyonce's album?

How do we do it?

I don't know.

I feel like this would have been it.

Beyonce is doing country.

Yeah.

Taylor

is country.

Like it kind of reminds me like so randomly of like how we don't have a Morgan Wall and Luke Combs collab yet.

They're these two enormous universes.

They have covered each other's songs.

They clearly have respect for one another.

But Luke Homes has said on a podcast, like, it's not, you know, negative, but it's, of course, competitive.

That's the nature of they do the same thing.

They're at the same level.

And it's not in a bad way, but you know, they keep each other on their toes.

And I thought it was actually a really honest

answer because most people would be like, no, we support each other.

He's like, no, like, it's competitive, but it's good.

And they haven't worked together ever in like a formal song release capacity.

And

when they do, how will it be done?

Because it's almost like the fact that it's never been done.

I don't to me, that feels different.

Like I don't expect every big artist to work with the other big artists, especially in the same genre.

I'm just saying in this instance, like Beyonce has a country album.

She's collaborating with country artists.

She has a friend, we know they're friends, who is the biggest country artist in the world.

This would be the time for the collab.

If this album comes and goes and there's no collab, I won't say on the next album or Taylor's next album.

I understand Beyonce.

I understand.

This is the moment is what I'm saying.

Okay, so I don't like 100% agree with that because like I feel like, yes, Taylor is on a technical level like the most successful country, but I really, I don't think of her like country at all anymore, which is devastating because this is my favorite genre and my favorite girl.

I do think that if there isn't a collab on this album that has anything to do with Taylor, I won't think of it as like a slight.

I will just think of it as a missed opportunity.

Agreed, but not one that they didn't consider.

No, by the way, this conversation was had between both camps.

That's all I'm saying.

And maybe Taylor seriously didn't.

Maybe Taylor was like, maybe Taylor said no.

Maybe he was like, listen, currently I'm on this tour.

I don't have the capacity to give my whole, you know, pussy to this collab.

And I should say, I don't want to be country right now.

Seriously, if Beyonce comes to someone with a collab, no one is turning that down.

No, absolutely.

No, nobody.

So she didn't come.

Or the theory is right.

I like that theory.

That buttons it all up really nicely for me.

Yeah.

So I have a lot of work to do on the album, but I needed to reference the song Daughter.

And what I love about this album is like, it's really camp in the sense it's not like, I feel like a lot of the contemporary country artists, especially the women, like their music sounds almost like pop music.

It's not very like stereotypical.

She went full camp.

It's like, howdy do?

Like, it's really, I love it.

And even like the album cover, Horse, American Flag,

Beyonce.

It's not subtle.

It's not subtle.

So she's like pulling references from, you know, Landslide, which is like kind of not corny, but like overtly country.

It's classic country.

Classic.

And it's low-key classic country.

And she's sampling a lot of things.

And in the song, Daughter, she samples a song.

Now, I don't know what this song is.

My reference, how I know it, is it's from Raise Your Voice.

I think it's an opera song.

She's

like, did I listen to you?

Jackie, yeah.

Jackie.

on,

you babe.

Sensadite.

That's Razor Voice.

The cringe voice.

I didn't get to there yet.

I only got to see Jolene.

When Hillary Duff's like cringe character has a cringe moment in the cringe class with Aiden from Sex in the City and she like slays it down and she sings that like it must be like it's like an Ave Maria type.

It's like a famous old like opera song.

It's in Daughter and Jackie when I tell you I died like I died.

It was so funny.

I don't know where that song is from but to me and like my generation, it will always be

from Raise Your Voice.

Oh, I think that was my next song to listen to.

But also, this was the first album that I didn't initially listen in order, which I hate to do.

Did you hear me?

But I needed, no, I needed to hear Miley first.

Oh, oh.

And then I listened to Post Malone, and then I took it from the top, but then I skipped to Jolene.

Oh, and I also listened to after Post Malone, I listened to Sweet Honey Bucking.

That's with Shibuzi, because a few weeks ago, people were speculating who would be on this album, like which black country artist that she would work with.

And I saw a video of this guy, Shibuzi, who's so sickeningly talented.

Oh, wow.

And it introduced me to his music.

And then when he confirmed was on the album, I had to listen to that one too before I started at the top.

And I feel like what you just said is like the whole reason why Beyonce made the country album.

Love it.

Love it.

No, it's, I have a lot of work to do.

And I don't like, I hate when people are like, what are your rankings?

It's 27 songs.

I woke up a couple hours ago, like, leave me alone.

I need time.

I don't know what's good yet.

I don't know what's bad.

I I don't know if I like the album.

Like, I need a minute.

Give me a second.

Sonically, it's kind of a new sound because she's really like blending genre

voice with country,

old and new.

And also there's like some hip-hop influences in there.

So like it's going to take time to like wrap your head around.

It's not surface level and it's certainly not surface lyrics.

It's not surface lyrics.

Give us a minute.

So is Ben struggling with that or is he excited?

I actually haven't spoken to him about it because I literally wasn't talking to him after he yelled at me about my finger.

After he victim victim blamed, shamed, and gamed, yeah.

And in the knife cutting game.

So that's exciting.

And that does make the Friday feel more like a Friday because it's new music Friday.

Totally.

Period.

I don't have anything to add on to that.

Okay, so maybe you can go to the next story.

Yeah.

No, I was going to say something, but...

No.

Well, now the sentence was over.

Okay.

I respect that.

Sometimes it's okay to like start a sentence and then just like delete, you know?

That's it.

Yeah.

Or no, like not everyone has to get the last word, you know?

Oh, is that what you were trying to do?

No, I wasn't trying, but I was just going to like say another thing.

Oh, my God.

And you know what?

I love, I love that, like, you, and I think this goes for everyone.

I'm not talking about us because we don't know.

No, I wasn't talking about us.

The culture, like, maybe just end the sentence, you know?

That's okay.

Constant back and forth.

Like, let's hold space for the end.

Let's hold space space for the end.

I think it'd be nice.

Are you ready for our next story now?

Holding space for the second story.

Billie Eilis is dragging big artists like Taylor Swift for releasing multiple versions of albums in quote wasteful packaging.

So, while discussing her push for sustainability within her career with Billboard, she criticized unnamed big artists for using uneconomical and seemingly unethical methods to sell and package their physical albums and vinyls.

While it was unnamed, she might as well have said that blonde girl whose name drimes with Faylor.

Like she literally just scribbled, it's clear, like, I don't think we could speculate this to be about anyone else.

No, so this is what she said, so you can hear it for yourself.

We live in this day and age where for some reason, it's very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging, which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money and gets them more.

I can't even express to you how wasteful it is.

It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right.

And I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can

and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable.

And then it's some of the biggest artists in the world making fucking 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.

Literally tailored with her two songs.

Now, I want to say Taylor does do this a lot with her CDs and stuff, but Billy's specifically talking about vinyls because I guess vinyls are like especially difficult to make and it's whatever.

Special, unsustainable plastic.

It's like, and a whole part of this conversation that Billy's not talking about is how Taylor has completely resurrected a dead industry in terms of like jobs, sales, small record stores.

Like, so yes, you can't be the best at everything.

You can't be the most sustainable and be resurrecting industries and being a titan of industry.

Like, it's like maybe, do you think that maybe because the vinyl industry is so unsustainable that it deserved to go to die?

To die?

no and

people who were working in the vinyl industry didn't deserve to work because of their their contribution to non-sustainable things billie eilish is really slowly turning into one of my least favorite people like it only took it only took two things an artist for ceasefire pin and coming for taylor swift like you're literally dead to me No, this story is so funny.

This girl is so dreadful and she's always been dreadful, but like I never want to say anything because she seriously like just seems unwell.

yeah but she's now sticking her nose in some things where it doesn't belong

dreadful miserable girl yeah no i feel like it's everything is so negative and sad all the time like ugh imagine like as i think like the perfect word for like what we're saying is like it's a no yes but like

the yiddish phrase is a dre cup it's like your face is like a long sad face or miserable hold on that's a miserable girl hold on that what's the other yiddish phrase that I've been actually using a lot lately?

When you try and Google Yiddish words, they don't understand.

Fabissinapunam.

Fabissinapunam.

It's like

smile.

Yeah.

No, it's literally smile.

But it's misogynist and not sustainable.

It's sparky pilastery.

Smile.

Don't smile.

I just like, I can't.

And honestly, I want to say

Eilish is a Fabissinapunum.

She's a Fabissanapunum.

And there isn't,

I'm not the type of person where I'm like, you can't criticize Taylor.

Like, I actually do feel every, like, there are some few, if you have something to say, like valid criticisms of Taylor in regards to whatever, sustainability or whatever it is.

But like, this really isn't it.

And I feel like Taylor's been praised so much by people in the industry, like mom and pop, hundred-year-old record stores for, and she goes out of her way to like really give extra stock of hard-to-find vinyls, two small, independently owned records.

Like she really goes out of her way to like try and do the right thing.

And so for another artist to come out it's so you know what it's giving me it's gonna be jealous

yeah but the mom and pops were not sustainable claudia downright mom and pops like i support the mom and pops leave me alone

yeah and so does taylor like so to make a whole big stink she thinks she's being subtle like we know who you're talking about billy no i hope taylor writes a whole album about her the thing is lion don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep It's true, but Taylor, like, she does.

She cares what people think about her.

Also, Billie Eilish, like, we can clout on her.

Like, she's a major, major um like force i wasn't gonna say that she she no i think taylor is like listening with both ears she's like okay you said that yeah like when taylor we knew taylor like gave a fuck about what people said about her when she like came out with full force one joke made about her in Ginny and Georgia before Ginny and Georgia was even popular Ginny and Georgia

enormous show now but it was the first season it was like literally nobody was watching the show and honestly I heard about it for the first time from Taylor Swift and it was like such a lame joke and like she was right but like really we're going like I feel like you're bigger than that No, she she listens to things that people say about her and she cares.

And she would admit that.

Like that's not no secret.

And I want to say like hashtag relatable.

Like thank you.

No.

Also, I just want to say for Billy, when her Happier Than Ever vinyl came out in 2021, the black versions were made of 100% recycled black vinyl and wrapped in shrink wrap made from sugar cane.

And her colored options were also created with recycled materials.

Sounds smelly.

No, that's great.

That's really, really great for Billy.

She also helped

different things.

She also helped from Reverb's music decarbonization project, which aims to eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry.

Okay, and that's like, that's so great.

That's clearly something Billy cares about.

This is super, super great.

But like,

I don't know.

I just hate people who do something good and then use it as like a platform to be condescending and teacher.

Shame blame and game.

To shame blame the music game.

Yeah.

Especially when like there's such bigger fish to fry right and i just like i have two words for bison upon them i have two words shame and blame

okay our next three stories what number actually no we select time no no oh okay because our next three stories if i had to describe them like they are so friday

oh by the way let me guess i know them grb Yep.

The conjoined twins who married the same man, because that's a story I requested.

And what was the third?

It's definitely some food news.

What is Sebway?

It's not food news.

Okay, you'll surprise me.

Let's start.

First of the three is that Gypsy Rose Blanchard has separated for her husband three months after her prison release.

So GRB and her husband, RSA, have broken up after

one year of marriage.

She announced the news on her private Facebook account on Thursday, according to People, saying, people have been asking what is going on in my life.

Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation.

And I

moved in with my parents' home down the bayou.

Jackie, parents?

Who?

Did I read that right?

And I moved in with my parents' home.

So mom, we know, deceased at the hands of GRB.

Father,

in the act, I don't remember there being a father.

Well, obviously she's talking about like her birth dad and his like, you know, her stepmom or something.

Really?

I mean, who else?

It's not her mom.

But maybe her parents' home, like maybe it was the home she grew up in.

Oh, she's referencing the home, not the parents.

The physical structure.

The structure.

Okay, so let's.

And also to say, like, I moved in with my parents' home down the bayou.

Right.

Is it I moved in with my parents or I moved into my parents' home?

She has a typo and it's honestly making it really, really hard.

Changing the meaning of the sentence.

Yeah, no, no.

Honestly, she couldn't have had a worse typo in terms of clarity.

Like

maybe maybe she's just trying to keep people on their feet.

That's classic GRB.

That's classic GRB.

Now, of course,

I have to make everything about myself.

I did spend some time with the couple.

And I didn't want to say it at the time because I was crazy.

I just want to say, can we get a clarification on how much time?

30 minutes.

Okay.

Not like a weekend, yeah.

No, I thought it was going to be three minutes.

So that's.

No, no, no, no.

I observed them, but I also spoke to them, him a lot too.

And I didn't want to say it at the time because I was grateful to Lifetime for the opportunity.

And, you know, I just, just, I was having so much fun.

But, like, you didn't like what you saw?

There were immensely weird vibes.

And let me tell you precisely, like, I think he was really, really excited about like the lights, camera action, the flashiness of it all.

And I think she was more excited to like tell her story and like be out of prison.

And he was like, really, as like a former teacher, you know, he wasn't in prison.

His life just went from drab to fab.

You know, that's the lifetime documentary.

Drab, fab, and the, and the GRB gab, you know?

And so he like kept making this joke.

He made a joke to me.

I was talking to him and I was like, oh my God, congrats like on your wedding.

Congrats, grads.

Yeah.

And he was like, oh, he's so great.

Like, I, you know, I keep saying we're not newly weds.

We're newly together weds because like we've been married for a while, but we're finally together in person.

I was like, oh, haha, cute joke.

Jackie, I heard him make the joke to like other people and the press like no less than 10 times that night.

He's like, and then I saw on TikTok literally a video.

You made a little joke.

And I don't know.

It was just giving preparedness, you know, it was giving thirstiness.

And I didn't like what I saw.

I'm not going to like disagree with your analysis because you saw what you saw and that's your truth.

I just want to say like that story viewed through another lens is like really innocent and sweet.

Let me add some color then.

Okay.

So GRB and her man come out.

Of course, a press line, like they're going crazy for GRB.

And he's like standing right at the edge of the carpet, like waiting with bated breath for like the couple photos.

Like obviously she gets her solo shots.

And then they do couple photos and then he gets his solo shots.

And I just felt like an eagerness that just put a bad taste in my mouth.

You saw Eager Beaver.

Thirsty.

God.

And then we know like he was getting reached out to a lot by other women.

And I just feel like if there's any sort of nefarious behavior from this split, it was coming from him.

Well, I just think in general, when you go through such a big change, like meeting and getting married in prison and then the freedom that comes with it, like that's a lot of change for a young couple.

And maybe

people aren't who you think they are, whether they be just too eager beaver or also like impossible to live with.

Or like GRB, you know, you have limited options for spouses.

Of course, everything is coming up, GRB.

Maybe

she's darling.

She's

a little bit of a statement in her statement.

She sees, you know,

more handsome men sliding into her DM.

She never had access to that.

She said in her statement, I'm listening to my heart.

Right now, I need time to let myself find dot, dot, dot, who I am.

So

you could come out of prison and be a different girl, not the one who married.

No, and also if you think about her life before prison, she was attached to another man.

It's like she's kind of, I think, hinged her identity a lot on her partner.

And maybe she's realizing she's coming into her own saying, I need to be me.

Yeah, it's time for GRB.

If I can't love myself, how in the hell am I going to love anybody else?

I think there's a lot of change and there's been a lot of change and it's totally natural

for things to start to shake up.

Yeah.

At the three-month itch.

Yeah, and I just want to say, like, this is not a couple I'm rooting for, you know?

So whatever Gypsy decides, like, I think is best.

I'm not going to be like, I hope these two work it out.

This isn't like, you know, a Kim and Croy Beerman situation.

Who would you like to see GRB with?

It's an amazing question.

Let me think.

Hold on.

Who's like a freak?

Oh my God.

I have such a funny answer joke, but like, it's like too mean, you know?

Should I I say it to you and then we cut it out?

You know what?

Text.

I'll text it to you.

Like I just, some of my jokes recently have been like so mean.

This is who I think GRB should marry next.

They're perfect for each other.

You can say that.

No, no, it's fine.

It's fine.

That's really funny.

Ship.

Ship.

Except, no, she seems like a nice girl.

I wouldn't do that to her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, GRB, wishing you well.

Being single can be fabulous, but don't cut your finger.

Yeah.

Maybe get a roommate.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Oh, I was born ready for this next story.

Conjoined twin Abby Hensel is now married.

So conjoined twins.

Only one?

Only one is married.

Oh, I thought he married like spiritually.

I know he physically married both of them, but I thought spiritually he married both as well.

No, spiritually he married one.

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel first gained national attention when they appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, and then they later starred in their own show, Abby and Brittany.

Oprah is kind of like the thread of today's episode.

Yeah, a lot has happened in the last decade since they were on TV, but Abby is now married.

According to public records, Abby, a teacher, and Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran, tied the knot in 2021.

The sisters also shared photos of the wedding on social media.

The couple lives in Minnesota, where the Hensels were born and raised.

The sisters are both teaching fifth grade in Minnesota.

Yeah, well, I don't know how one could teach and the other couldn't.

I have so many questions because if these two are fucking, that's literally incest.

That's like me and you having sex.

No,

they only have one part.

They only have one.

Everything below.

All organs below the waist are shared.

No, it's like polygamy is what it is.

Wait, all organs below the waist are shared?

Yes.

So they have one vagina?

Yeah.

So he's having sex with both of them?

Yes.

And they're also having sex sex together.

Well, no, because there's only one.

It takes two

girls do with her head.

I don't know, but I would have thought, I mean, I'm glad that

they're finding love, like, and what works for them works for them.

And who are we to tell them what to do?

And they obviously have clearly.

They've thought of these things.

Yeah.

And like they have a way of which works for them.

I just would have thought that they would have found someone, honestly, maybe a polygamist who, and they could all be together married.

Yeah, of course, but you can't marry your sister.

That's the thing.

Sister wives are never related.

But they're not married to each other.

Yeah.

Oh, I guess.

No, but you become like family.

We're already family.

No, I don't know.

It's like a little confusing for me.

However.

Imagine how they feel.

Have there been the separation of conjoined twin successful surgeries?

Yes, correct?

Yes, but in this situation,

they were told that it was, like, they, the parents decided that it was too risky

at the time.

The doctor said that there was a little little chance that both would survive the operation and they had said like how do you pick between the two no of course not

so

yeah oh my

button living their best life and the show they check for me yeah i'm living my best life they traveled to europe they wrote a moped like they're making it work for them and now one of them has found love

Now, what happens when the other finds love?

And then it's her turn.

They obviously have an understanding

with the husband.

Like everyone has to be on the same page.

I'm sure they've had these conversations, but there's no roadmap for this.

There's no, they're literally creating precedent.

They're making the rules.

Right.

And they're, and they're kind of troubling for others.

Yeah.

I think it's an inspiring, beautiful story.

And they want to be moms.

Oh, can they?

Yeah.

They, uh, Their mom had said that that's probably something that could work because those organs do work for them.

And Brittany had said, yeah, we're going to be moms.

We haven't thought about how being moms is going to work yet, but we're just 16.

This was when they were 16.

We're just 16.

We don't need to think about that right now.

But now they are in their 30s and now would be the time.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Okay.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Our fifth and final story, kind of the biggest news of the day.

Puxitani Phil shocks caretakers by welcoming two surprise baby groundhogs with his wife Phyllis.

So, famous groundhog Puxatoni Phil is a parent.

He is planning for at least six more weeks of intense parenting.

That's funny.

I don't like the way they phrase that headline.

It's giving very much like misogyny.

His wife is over here doing everything.

It said, Punksatani Phil welcomes two new children.

It's like Phil is the star.

How's Phil?

What did Phil?

Do groundhogs do a male carry with Groundhogs?

Like, that's what it sounds like.

No, but it's because he's the most famous groundhog and his wife is just behind, like, behind every great groundhog, there's a woman like bearing his children.

Behind every powerful groundhog is a more powerful female groundhog.

It's true.

Like, that's true.

So, I, but I completely agree.

Like, misogynist to its core.

No, it's just misogyny right and left.

Like, PETA should honestly put out a statement about that.

Put out a statement about the statement.

No, Peter doesn't.

PETA doesn't care about women.

That's the thing.

PETA cares about, like, I don't even know what the fuck they care about, but it's not women.

Yeah.

because the news here is like phil is a father okay like phyllis just endured childbirth is her name phyllis yeah

i i don't know what agency was in charge of like the puxetani phil branding but crushed slayed the house down

boots except an inherent flaw is that you think that phil is in philadelphia And he's not.

Where is he?

No, I think he's in Puxetoni.

What's that?

A township.

But then, then, like, no, and he should be from Puxetani because it's like the biggest thing going on in that town.

But it should have been like Puxetani Tim.

Now, this is a totally random tangent, but we were talking about brands and rebrands.

And I don't know if you know, but like a major, major brand has rebranded.

And we didn't even talk about it on the toast.

Manischewits.

Two.

They're still Manashevs.

Womanischevitz?

Womanashevitz.

Their entire branding has been like renewed because, you know, they're kind of like an old school shtetl vibe.

Yeah, Fibisina Puttam.

Fabison and puttum.

They slayed.

I watched this whole TikTok about the rebrand.

It's literally like the sickest thing.

It's now just giving, you know, sort of like Lower East Side, old Jewish shtetl.

It's kind of in now.

Like, you know,

what's that deli called?

Like Katz's font.

Yes, but it's very modern.

And they kind of like, it's kind of one of the most people are praising it as like one of the most fabulous rebrands.

They killed it without losing like the brand's core style and vibe.

Yeah.

What's the name of that font?

I feel like it's like mazel it's literally like shtetl yeah where that it's like the second avenue deli logo too it's all jewish brands isn't it yiddish yeah

cute it looks like biblical writing like in the bible very cute send me the tick tock i will i will i was i found it extremely interesting but back to puxitani and

phil they put out a statement on puxitani's facebook page saying we have babies the puxitani groundhog club is very excited to announce that phil and phyllis have given birth to two healthy baby groundhogs now and so they will carry on the legacy of Groundhog's Day, is that correct?

Oh, they didn't say that because I think it takes a certain kind of groundhog to be trained up.

But hopefully.

Who's the Prince William, you know?

I don't think it's hereditary.

I think it's a meritocracy.

Oh, for real?

That's my guess because you need the best groundhog for the job.

Why?

What if one of them is like badly behaved and

he can't even stand to see his shadow?

Well, he was born for this role.

Like they train him from childhood, you know?

Says who?

Like, that's what I would think.

Maybe there's like an elite groundhog school.

Anyone can go.

Because by the way, if they don't do it like hereditarily, why the fuck are they breeding groundhogs between these two?

Well, here's the thing.

It was unexpected.

They had no idea she was pregnant.

It was kind of like, I didn't know I was pregnant.

I didn't know why I was pregnant.

It's getting that chill.

Like I gave birth in the ER in the toilet.

I took a shit and the baby came out.

Yeah.

They said when we when we went in to feed them their fresh fruits and vegetables, we found Phyllis with two little baby groundhogs.

It was very unexpected and we we had no idea that she was pregnant.

I just want to say like it's getting negligent.

Sorry, you should know what's going on with the groundhogs that you keep in cages.

Phil,

Phil couldn't keep his hands off Phyllis late in the night.

You know what I find interesting?

Yeah.

That like different mammals have different pregnancy terms.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

We carry for nine months, but like dogs carry for a couple weeks, right?

Three months.

So funny when I was, I just learned that because I was like talking extensively with different breeders for Tromio and they were like, oh, well, we just got pregnant.

I was like, all right, well, I'll talk to you in nine months.

And she was like, she was like, no, no, it's actually perfect timing for you.

It's three months.

I'm like,

yeah, it makes sense.

Like, it makes sense.

But we're huge.

I just assume for everyone, it's nine months.

Yeah, I would assume the same.

I did assume the same.

So I wonder how long, how long is pregnancy for Groundhogs?

Because that was what, a couple weeks of being negligent.

Brett, like, was she pregnant on Groundhog's Day?

Maybe they celebrated.

Maybe she got pregnant on Groundhog's Day.

Like how some people get pregnant pregnant on, you know, Valentine's Day.

The thing is, they might not even know how long.

Oh, 32 days.

Claudia?

A dream.

No.

In my next life.

Valentine's Day, for sure.

In my next life, bring me back as a groundhog.

But the thing is, if you weren't like the Groundhog, you'll live a life full of jealousy and bitterness.

Allow me to rephrase that.

In my next life, bring me back as the most important Groundhog.

But would you want to be Phil or Phyllis?

Phil.

I'm kind of like Phyllis.

All the perks.

None of the work.

Except for the pressure.

None of the pressure.

What did I see?

Was it a shadow or was it like a fleck?

Right, right, right, right, right, right.

It's hard.

You're just a little lowly groundhog.

It's hard out there for a groundhog.

It is.

Those were actually like some of the best stories I think.

We've had a great week of stories.

It's important to acknowledge when we're blessed because sometimes, you know, scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Today and all days this week were really fabulous.

Thank you so much for that.

You're welcome.

That could be a contributing factor.

I thought of that as well.

So before we dive into our employee of the month segment, let's go to Queenie and Weenie of the Week, our weekly segment where Jackie and I bestow the honor to two individuals, people, place, or things.

You know, it's flexible.

Someone is going to be queenie of the week and someone is going to be weenie of the week.

A queenie of the week would do something that, you know, was queenie-like, and a weenie would do something that was...

weenie-like.

So let's start with Queenie because I happen to have one.

And I think this will come as a shock to absolutely nobody that my Queenie of the week was Andrew Huberman.

He brought me so much joy this week.

Like that article, I've been talking about it with my personal life on social media.

The content, like it was so funny and it was so fabulous.

And I feel like

I'm like obsessed with him now.

Did you see like he posted a video?

We were speculating like, how is he going to handle this?

Does he have crisis PR?

Is there going to be a statement?

Nope.

Went right back on his Instagram posting.

Talking about sightlight, sunlight.

Yeah, like obsessed with the comments.

The comments were like, we're obsessed with you, Hubert.

Don't stop.

It wasn't overwhelmingly negative.

It seems like he has an audience of people with good heads on their shoulders.

You know, they're not going to be like, cancel Huberman is over party.

Like, I have immense respect for this person whose name I seriously like barely knew prior to Monday.

So for that, I'm grateful.

You?

I agree.

Huberman was my runner-up, but my queenie of the week, I think, is everyone's queenie of the week, month, year.

And that's Kate Middleton.

Yeah, she was up there for me.

She is going through it and she's just handling it with so much grace grace and patience, even though everyone is a fucking nutjob.

So my.

And she never even said in her video, like she just keeps being like, thank you so much for like your support.

And it's like, girl, they weren't supporting you, but she's too big to even say like, you fucking clowns.

You look like clowns.

So my, one of my weenies of the week that I'll just decide now was the people.

The public.

The public.

Post Kate Middleton's video, which really shut everyone down.

There are still people being like, it's a fake video.

Her ring disappears in one second.

Her hair looks fake.

This is an old video.

She wore that sweater 10 years ago and they made a deep fake based on the video.

Those people like clearly have nothing going on in their life and like they're addicted to the high of like everybody.

It was fun, you know, for a while.

And they're really pissing me off.

And they're my weenies of the week.

My weenie of the week.

So ours are very like inverted because my weenie of the week is the writer of the article.

Jackie, if I'll just send you a screenshot, my other runner-up was author of the article.

The writer of the article, an 8,000-word story, story, the cover of New York Magazine for the fact that like Huberman likes to get it in.

He likes women.

He likes a lot of them.

Yeah, I agree.

That was a contender for me as well.

That was insane.

Like we need to zoom out on that.

Not just the article that like there was a Huber attempted takedown, like the cover of New York Magazine for what?

No, especially like we're in an election year.

There's a war.

Like there's so much going on in the world.

It's not like it's like quiet times.

Yeah, the cover, just all is that to say, the girlies love Huberman and Huberman loves the girlies.

And the thing is, it really moved the needle.

Not at all.

Claudia.

And he didn't go camping when he said he was going to go camping and he's not prompt and he loves his dog who I heard it passed away since like from the stress of the article.

No, no,

I'm kidding.

When Sarah was talking about like dog tings, that was like

he has since passed away.

Like imagine what

he did through.

No, that must have made like this week, which I'm sure has been challenging for Huberman.

Nobody likes to be, you know, written about like that.

I'm sure, you know, because I can relate.

If Theo was a big part of my cancellation and his name was kind of being besmirched and there was nothing I or he could do about it, like actually, I'm being dead serious.

Like, it would really bother me.

Yeah.

Also, I found the person who people believe to be Sarah, which based on context clues, like, is her.

I found her Instagram.

Have you looked at it yet?

Send it to me right now.

It is a treat.

What is it like?

It's it's very like honestly it's who you would think huberman would get into a relationship with like oh my god even this first video oh my god send it right now i'm obsessed

okay

oh my god you have to watch the first video the video i just sent you

oh my she's female huberman she's huberman

i'm shocked it didn't work out i know well it like it oh she cooks.

Yeah, that's her thing.

She's always cooking, like, but outside, it's very homesteady and like health and

heart health.

Female, like, she is his mate.

I'm sad it didn't work out for them.

So, you know, he can't be monogamous.

So, um, let's dive into our inaugural segment, our inaugural episode of employee

in the month of the month.

So, Jax, who's your employee?

Who are you putting forward for employee of the month?

I'm waiting with bated breath.

This month, I'm putting forward Letterd.

What?

Yeah, Turdy gets my nomination for employee of the month.

Oh, man, I still didn't see this coming.

Because obviously she's my employee of the month every month.

But I do feel like early in the month, Turdy really made like strong progress.

She recorded two vlogs for the Patreon by herself.

really contributing to premium content.

And I know it's later in the month, so those things kind of get washed away by later events, but it doesn't go unseen.

I feel like that sort of entrepreneurial spirit, content creation, premium content creation is why for me, you're the employee of the month.

I'm honored.

Thank you for noticing.

And it's so funny that you nominated me because I actually was going to nominate you.

Oh, you're lying.

Yeah.

Because, you know, I'm planning this trip to Israel.

And I have a pit about like taking, I'm like a nut like with the show.

And I brought it up to you and I was ready for you to be like rightfully like, oh, well, maybe you could record like from, you know, Gaza.

Like,

and I would have done it but like without question you were like i got it and you didn't even like let me help with the guests you were like i got it and to to know that i'm leaving it in such fabulous hands and you didn't like make me feel bad about it like that was giving elite employee energy it really was of course it's my turn this show is a balance i feel like the last two years you've done way more guests than I have.

When you're on tour, I do more guests than you.

And you're traveling, you're doing important work.

I'm no, I'm gonna make you podcast from Israel.

But it just made me like more excited for my trip and just like feel good, you know?

Yeah.

We've got each other's backs.

Gotta reach out to my network.

Yeah, you do.

So that was Elite Employee of the Month.

We'll be back next month.

So you don't have to hear from us for another four weeks.

That is also our show.

Now, let's just do like a quick touch base.

You know, at the beginning of the show, we weren't like kind of like feeling life.

How are you feeling now?

Wonderful.

I do feel like I've gotten it through my thick head that it's Friday.

Thick.

Tick and I can enjoy Friday.

I love that.

And I don't, what am I doing this weekend?

Oh, happy Easter, everyone.

Easter.

Happy Easter.

Oh my gosh.

Yes to all of our, you know, up on us.

A March Easter.

Followers in Christ enjoy.

Do you guys like an early Easter or no?

I feel like it's like Easter weather is such a huge part of it because so much of it is

outside.

Although here in New York, it's gorgeous.

It's supposed to be gorgeous all weekend.

So I hope that keeps up for the Christian girlies.

Yeah.
