Live Cause You're Dying: Tuesday, March 19th, 2024

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the South and happy Tuesday.

Speaking of, you know,

hmm, where do I want to go with this?

It's in there.

No, like, I could do the basic.

Like, speaking of girls, I choose, like, let's be creative.

Let's do something different.

I feel like I do that every Tuesday.

Speaking of

speaking of choose, here's the girl I always choose, Jacqueline Folet.

Well, that just posed an interesting question to me because Election Day is always on a Tuesday.

And do you think that's because it's Tuesday?

Because we're making a choice?

Because we're making a choice on a Tuesday, which is a Tuesday of Election Day.

Just something to think about, food for thought.

I feel like her founding fathers, like, dropped a lot of Easter eggs that were only now.

That we're only now finding.

Okay, Nicholas Cage.

Totally.

I should watch that movie.

I feel like I would like it.

1,000%.

Maybe then I didn't get it, but I feel like now, even though American history

is good, you know?

Okay.

Mighty proud.

But it's not as, not nearly as long as some of the other histories.

We don't have real roots because we're, you know, a nation of immigrants.

We sort of just like left all the other places and we're like, let's do our own thing.

As they called it, the new world.

Right.

And that's cool and exciting.

And it's actually kind of sick how we're like kind of the best country and we're also the newest.

Like we did the most in the least amount of time.

Like I respect the hustle I do.

But of course, you know, we're not nearly as, you know,

old and historic.

The other countries and other continents.

And it's just interesting when you think about it.

It definitely is.

And I feel like we've gotten immediately sidetracked beyond about

the piece of history.

I'll add national treasure to my watch list.

Thank you.

Yes.

And before you do that, welcome back to the toast.

We've got a great show.

It is Tuesday, also known as Tuesday around here.

We have so much to discuss.

We've got the stories.

The stories are really, really good.

And I want to say for a Tuesday, but I don't want that to diminish the stories.

Like, they are good for a Tuesday, but they're also just really strong in general.

And I look forward to talking about them.

And I hope that we're not going to wade into anything

prior to.

Was Oprah's Ozempic special made a story?

Because you and I both watched it, and I have some thoughts I'd like to share.

Yes, it is a story.

It's our first story, if you could hold off.

I can, but I did want to come on here and say that after I watched Oprah's Ozempic Special, which we will get into recapping in a minute, I caught up on curb your enthusiasm.

Are you caught up?

No.

Now, let me tell you, it's not like an amazing season.

And

I always watch every week.

And let me tell you, I was like four episodes behind.

So that just sort of tells you how not.

enticing this season is.

However, I watched an episode last night that was so brilliant.

And not even for Larry David.

I'm going to spoil it, but it's worth it.

For Lori Laughlin.

Okay.

Now, I feel like this was her first kind of major acting gig since the college admission scandal.

She plays herself and she plays herself, you know, post-prison.

And she, and I happen to know for a fact, like, she's really into golf in real life.

Her and Ben are like always talking about it.

And

she.

is joining Larry's club.

And the club doesn't want her because she went to prison, yada, yada.

And she ends up like her in real life it's like Lori's actually kind of like a badass like she has a handicap placard even though she's not supposed to have one she and Larry's like kind of put off by her energy let me tell you it was such a brilliant way to come back to acting I can only sort of compare it to

an equally as

impressive comeback when Justin Bieber went through like a really really tough time and then he did the the roast of Justin Bieber on Comedy Central.

It was so brilliant.

Something about making yourself the butt of the joke, letting people sort of pile on, haha, have their moment, and being in on the joke is such a great way to come back from any sort of scandal.

And I wasn't expecting this from Lori Laughlin because she's very buttoned up.

She's very, you know, family network, you know, homes, HGTV energy.

It was so funny.

And I ended up, and I love Lori Laughlin.

I have no problem with her.

So I wasn't like the target demo for this, but I still

didn't need your mind to be changed.

I still, I was like, damn, this, like, I just love her.

And I think it will be effective for real in sort of rehabilitating her image.

For sure, but how come I didn't even hear about the fact that she was on Curb until you're saying this?

I know.

Curb is like in a weird place where it's like, I feel like

the show had its run.

And then, you know, years later, it came back.

And I feel like once it came back, every season was so gangbusters.

And everyone was talking about it every week.

And I feel like this season, like, is primarily not good.

Yeah, I watched the first episode.

It didn't compel me to want to watch more episodes.

Zach was watching an episode that there was a funny, like, like running joke, but I wasn't like

success.

Though this episode sounds good and I

watch it.

Hysterical.

I just want to say though, and I never thought I'd say this because every time he said he was done with the show, I'm like, no, Larry, do more.

I feel like maybe it's time.

Yeah.

It's not very good.

That's fine by me.

Our husbands will be upset.

It's nice to have something to watch at the husbands, I'm not going to lie.

Yeah, though I completely forgot about it until now.

but last night i was watching real houses at beverly hills of course you were finished reunion part two on to reunion part three and i don't know if it's me maybe i just like put my phone down but i was really locked in i felt like all the conversations that they were having were really interesting conversations like of course Kyle, Sutton, Sutton's talking about like her ex.

They're all talking about what they share on the show, literally the exact conversation that we were having because Kyle was accused of hiding.

And she was like, I've been on this show for 13 years.

My daughter had her second birthday party.

Now she's applying to college.

I've had two sisters on the show.

My family has broken up.

Like she was making fire points.

She was also saying that she didn't even know what was going on with her marriage as the season was filming.

She does not gonna, she doesn't have to say every pre-formed feeling that she has.

And then she goes to Sutton because Sutton's the one who was accusing her of it.

She's like, You don't share anything.

Your ex-husband's too powerful to talk about.

This season, you got a horse and started a cashmere line.

Like, oh, thanks.

It was giving straight fire facts yeah

and then also we talked about Doreed a little bit because she's going through a metamorphosis and the way Doreed has my heart I know she and she always has she always has but I feel like the last few seasons like that connection that I had to her was maybe like dwindling I thought she gave such a stellar performance at the reunion I feel like people might disagree with me on that I feel like everyone was just coming at her from all sides people make so much fun of her because she's long-winded but that doesn't really come through on the show because it's edited So I'm like, oh, Darit's just speaks well, you know?

Yeah.

And by the way, I have always found a deep connection to that storyline of Darit.

People say she talks too much and she like always brings the conversation back to herself.

And they think it's like a character flaw.

And I know definitely people say that about me.

And when I tell you, it's so not intentional.

Not me doing it right now, you know?

Literally, like Darit starts speaking about her robbery and her PTSD.

And Andy starts yawning.

Like, seriously, it's so fucking rude.

Okay, but the yawning saga with Andy and Darit is truly the this is the third reunion in a row where he's yawned while she's speaking.

Yes, I saw the highlights, and it would be funny if what she was saying right now, like, wasn't incredibly serious.

In the past, she's talking about the women yawn, haha, but it was really kind of rude.

Also, Garcelle and Crystal just like have it out for Doreen or just like...

giggling at the things that she's saying and rolling their eyes.

I found it to be like so rude and condescending.

Also, Garcelle this season like made a comment alluding to the fact that things about Doreet's robbery were questionable.

Yeah, a lot of people have.

To what end?

What do they think?

That it was like an insurance

setup.

Like, you know, because they have,

for many years, there have been whispers about their financial situation.

And, you know, if you get robbed and they steal a bunch of stuff, you get that money back in insurance.

Got it.

Well, Garcelle didn't go as far as saying that.

She just made snide comments and then is like, oh, you know, I just thought it was weird that you still had your ring and that the robber would leave the phone for you by the gate, which it's like, okay,

sorry it didn't fit your perfect robbery story.

Yeah, no, Carcella's snarky.

Most of the time I actually enjoy it, but every now and then she misses the mark.

With Crystal, I feel like Crystal, I don't know, I feel so two ways about Crystal

because she hasn't been my favorite, but she's Jewish, so I'm not going to say anything about it.

She converted?

Yeah.

Oh, she's like a serious Jew.

Her husband was Jewish.

I spoke to her very briefly about it at BravoCon.

I didn't know that either, but at BravoCon, because BravoCon was like right after October 7th, like a month after, there was like a dinner for like Jewish Bravo Lebridities and Erin Danalici invited me.

Yeah.

And I was like, oh, Crystal's Jewish.

And she had told me that, yes, she is Jewish.

And she like is a very serious convert.

Oh, I love that for her.

Yeah, so you're not going to catch me saying anything bad about her.

No, she was just being snarky.

And she's just funny.

She just has like the most

random.

She just dies on the most random of hills.

But that's okay.

Go off.

No, she's also also just like, on a personality level, so different than the other women.

Like, she's also in a different like age bracket, which I think she's always like referencing her generation versus their generation.

But it really, I do think part of like why she doesn't get along with some of the women like is purely generational.

Like, they're just different.

Yeah.

She's a little sensitive, you know?

Yeah, she's in her feelings.

And like, Kathy Hilton, like, of a completely generation, like, doesn't give a fuck.

Even though Kathy Hilton and Crystal get along the best.

I think that's actually Kathy's.

We're about to see Kathy on part three, but I feel like her and Crystal actually have the best relationship.

That's an unlikely friendship.

I'm not going to lie.

I love an unlikely duo.

I think they live in the same neighborhood, and that's like really how they just became friends.

Yeah.

Anyways, the season is really good.

I'm enjoying it.

I don't know what the feedback has been and like who's villainous and what people are saying.

I just know I'm enjoying it.

I am dressed like kind of athletically.

I don't know if you noticed.

I don't know if you guys.

I saw your story.

You're going for a run.

It's one degree in the city.

Like last week when I went outside, I was like kind of scared to be running outside with my running coach and stuff, but I was like, you know what?

Whatever.

It's a beautiful day.

God is shining down on me.

Get after it.

It is so fucking cold.

What do you wear to run?

Like, do you wear a coat?

Yeah, wear a puffer kind of athletic style coat.

I didn't bring one.

So like literally, this is what I'm running in, a turtleneck.

How many degrees is it actually?

It will be in the 40s.

I think you'll warm up.

Yeah, by the way, so, and what I kind of liked about running in the park, I feel like this is kind of like a life hack is I ran two miles last a week ago.

I didn't break a sweat because maybe a little under boob sweat actually, but more so my hair.

And getting into fitness has been really challenging for me as somebody who's on camera every single day.

Like I have a blowout pretty much every single day.

And I can't be washing my hair more than twice a week.

So becoming, you know, athletic because I sort of posed a problem.

When I tell you, I literally went home and like brushed my hair and it was completely dry.

Completely fine.

And think of the Kardashians.

Like if the Kardashians can work out one to two times a day, have hair every day, spray tans, everything, like there's no excuse.

No, I feel like that's actually not a good comparison.

I don't think they wash their hair.

They're full-time glam.

But they don't wash their hair ever.

I wouldn't wash my hair either if the second I worked out, my hair person was blow-drying and like spraying, making it fresh as a daisy.

Oh, but I mean, okay, so you don't have someone to do it, but you have those capabilities yourself.

Like,

I thought you were saying because the sweat means you have to wash your hair.

No, I don't have to wash my hair, but like, you know, it makes it.

They don't wash it.

I'm not washing mine.

When I get really sweaty, like, it changes my schedule.

And I do different workouts every day based on, like if i know i'm gonna be washing my hair like i'll go balls to the wall yeah yeah yeah like when you do strength training like if you ever do like live method you don't need to wash your you're not like sweating you're just working really hard exactly but when i'm running on the treadmill that's like i look like a pig

yeah

so life hack run outside in the cold you'll never have to wash your hair also life hack if you're running sweating like a pig next day up do

I'm just not an updo girl

flashback to all the updos that you've loved and Slayed.

No, and by the way, for sure, but on the podcast, what?

I'm going to put my hair like what?

In a slickback button, gorgeous turties.

Slickback buttons like don't work for me.

I can do a claw clip with like a, you know, slut strands type of moment.

I can sometimes do like a chignon, but like that whole slick, I can't make, I also just can't do it on myself.

Well, who has the arm strength?

Not me.

I got to head back to the Soto method to

work on.

Prepare.

Get it.

Yeah.

So, Lori Laughlin, that was kind of the one thing I wanted to say before the show started.

Anything you sort of wrote down in a mental note that you were like, let me talk about on the show before the fast five.

I always like have things and then I forget.

No, totally.

Yesterday just kind of zoomed by.

I got a Medicare Pedicare that I'm really excited about.

Go off, queen.

I even did something crazy because as I was getting in my car, yeah, I drive.

Yeah.

I messed up a nail and I was sitting there and I was, and it was really bad.

It was like, I would have to go home and redo my nail.

And I was like, do I go and fix it or do I go home?

And I was already hating the whole experience of getting a manicure pedicure?

Like I really, truly hated every minute of it.

But I went back in and I fixed it.

And now I'm right as rain.

Well, you wouldn't need to do that if you got a gel manicure, but I did want to tell you, I totally forgot.

So I got a manicure like a week ago.

And the girl next to me had such a gorgeous color.

She really was just like a gorgeous girl with gorgeous nails.

And I was like, what color is that?

And she was like, oh, it's Dazzle Dry.

I'm like, you're kidding.

What color was it?

Like one of my favorite, like flesh-colored nudes.

Oh, I have a nice nice flesh-colored nude from Dazzle Dry, but I was going to say the only thing about Dazzle Dry, if I had to say, well, of course you leave with wet nails, but I'm fine.

I'm used to that, is that their colors like aren't as amazing as SE, OPI.

One, they don't have the range.

And two, like the colors that they do have aren't the, I have two that I love.

This is one of them, but they don't have so many lovable ones.

So that's crazy that that was your takeaway.

I know.

Dazzle Dry FTW.

I like when she said,

I literally rolled my eyes and she she probably was like, oh my god, this girl is so rude.

I was like, no, it's like this whole long story.

I have pre-system

beef with Dazzle Dry.

Me and my sister slash best friend always talk about Dazzle Dry.

She's obsessed.

You said that?

Yeah.

And what did she say?

She could not have cared less.

Oh.

I was bothering her.

Damn.

Yeah.

Oh, I did go to the gynecologist yesterday.

Right.

And let me tell you, when I was in the waiting room, I saw so many toasters.

And, you know, you you don't say, I know they all are like, she's pregnant.

Like, they all were like,

but Ben wasn't with me.

So I feel like, like, you go to the gynecologist for other things.

Of course.

And if they listened to the episode, they would know.

Speaking of, do you got your period?

No.

Yikes.

She would have told me when they ran my thing yesterday.

Like, I got urine and everything.

True.

Yeah, don't worry.

I'm not.

Literally true.

But I got a pap smear, you know.

I got popped.

She got popped.

I got

popped.

you know what do they call that thing septum speculum speculum that is a medieval torture device like it was i really forgot but you know this was i switched doctors this was like my first time so i was really just kind of checking it out and they had a i don't know if it was pre-warmed the speculum was extremely warm and in the past it's been so ice cold, which just adds another layer of like real discomfort.

And let me tell you, it was one of the most pleasant pap smears I've ever gotten in my life.

Like if they were all like that, it really wouldn't be a big deal for me to stay on top of them.

They're not the biggest deal.

I guess after you, because I got one at my six-week checkup this time, because they were like, you'll need one in a few months to just do it now.

And I guess after all the rigor-morole of pregnancy and after all the poking and prodding I went through, the pap smear,

where?

Nothing.

There was nothing.

I also got a breast exam, which, you know, I've actually, it's been weighing heavy on me since we spoke about Olivia Muns.

So I'm feeling really good about getting all that done.

And I just feel like, you know, call me King Charles, but go get a pap smear.

And the breast exam.

well it's a part of the the thing like the smear the checkup yeah like when you get a pap smear like they do your boobs I don't recall uh

I wouldn't even know no and it's like definitely going on it's definitely awkward and like I respect the doctor yesterday she was obviously trying to make conversation while she was like you know and I just met her it's not like I'm like super comfortable with her so we spoke about Kate Middleton you know which was always I feel like good sort of middle ground Middleton ground Middleton ground yeah which I'm assuming is our first story it's our second story because our first is Oprah.

Okay, I feel like let's get into it.

Yeah, because that's the rest of our day was watching Oprah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But what were you gonna say?

I was gonna share something else about the doctor, and then I was just like, you know what?

Maybe not.

I'm loving this new boundary of yours.

She's so refined.

She's so private and mysterious.

You know what?

Please respect.

What is she thinking?

Please respect my privacy at this time.

Our first story.

Oprah calls out decades-long criticism of her weight in an ABC special on the obesity drug trend.

So last night, Oprah's shortly awaited special, honestly, we said last week, I hope it's soon.

And here it was.

By the way, I forget how I figured out that it was on.

Yesterday, I think I saw like a TikTok ad.

I was like, damn, that's a turnaround time.

Yeah, so it was called

Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution.

And she spoke to a bunch of people who have participated in the drug weather as recipients were doctors or people in the pharmaceutical industry.

And it was just a 360 conversation about these semaglutide

injections.

So I want to say I thought it was excellent.

I thought it could have been longer.

I felt it was kind of, as somebody who knows so much about the drugs, because I spent a whole year on them and like learning about them and then doing podcast episodes with Dr.

Geezy.

I know so much.

There wasn't for me anything I didn't know, but I really felt like for dumb people, people who have no idea about these drugs, people who are judgmental of these drugs, people who have preconceived notions of these drugs, it was really for them.

It was very surface level and I think debunking a lot of the myths.

I do wish she had spent a little bit more time.

And overall, it was overwhelmingly positive, which was so refreshing.

But I also, and I feel like she tackled every sort of

thicket of conversation around it.

Like the person who benefits the most from Ozempic, which, you know, is an adult

person.

Like the first person we spoke to was Amy.

Then there was the teenager.

And that's actually like a really...

big, even more in-depth conversation is about like Ozempic, not for kids, that's separate, but for young people.

No, that was really interesting.

I hadn't heard about that girl who at age 11 was almost 300 pounds.

Her mom did everything she possibly could, taking her to, you know, camps and clinics and everything.

And it it was just clear that she had a really, really severe case of obesity.

And they made the decision to give her bariatric surgery.

The results weren't as severe as they had wanted them to be.

So the doctor at the clinic suggested she pair it with one of these drugs.

And it kind of became like a national news story that there was this young woman.

I think when by the time she was taking the drug, she was like 15.

And they thought it was really crazy.

And Oprah was like, to the mom, like, what do you say to parents out there or other people who just like judge you for doing this?

And she was like, you know what?

Walk a mile in my shoes.

Like, watch your daughter have her whole life be put on pause because of this disease and people not take it seriously.

I found it really compelling.

I don't know if you would have asked me before, what do you think about like young teenagers taking it?

I would have been like, I don't know.

But I just

came about to say the same thing.

I feel like before the special, I would have said,

I would have put a time, an age on, you know, when kids grow out of stuff like that.

Yeah, and also, like, to be injecting serious medication into a young person is not

the greatest.

Ideal.

Ideal.

But then when this mom talks about, okay, and what are the risks if we don't do that, I thought it was very compelling.

That was like the one thing I kind of changed my mind on a little bit

that I didn't even know I needed to.

Yeah.

So I just loved it.

I did not love how the two doctors that she brought on to be experts who are, you know, doctors with years and years and years of obesity

research and serving obesity patients.

And they were like, we've been using these drugs for 20 years on patients, but now they've just become FDA approved for it.

And Oprah was like so shook.

She was like mad.

She was like, how come nobody told me?

And I feel the same way.

Like these drugs have been around for 20 years, which really...

Speaks for their safety and their efficacy because we have that's what the doctor was saying.

We have 20 years of research on this drug.

Not a lot of drugs that hit the market can say that.

We're very lucky.

As far as like long-term effects, like what's going to happen in 20 years, well, you know, we know someone who started taking it 20 years ago and a lot of the research we have on medicines are done on animals like mice which is helpful but not a human not completely analogous so the girl the female doctor was like we have 20 years of human data like that's so rare and people should be and the fact that there's all this like hoop law against it when it's actually one of the most well-researched drugs is makes you think.

But I didn't love that those two doctors who were brought on as experts, who I felt like were really, really smart, and Oprah had to say it legally, that they were,

I forget what the word was.

They get paid by the pharmaceutical companies to do.

The pharmaceutical companies fund their research.

They work very closely.

So they have a sort of,

it's advantageous for them to speak positively about the drug, which I feel like people could, and I don't think that they said anything wrong, but I just feel like it does sort of negate some of the things that they were saying.

Yeah, no, it could delegitimize and you could use that to be like, oh, well, they're getting paid.

Because also

what they're saying.

Oprah could have found, you know, doctors who are smart and know the research who just don't have a vested interest.

Okay.

Okay.

That's fair.

I loved hearing some of the stories of just regular people who whose life has changed.

Like that first girl, Amy, who is a toaster, I just found out.

I forget, she said she had lost over 100 pounds.

I think it was.

over 150 actually.

She's on the drug for maintenance.

That was also one other issue I had with what the doctors said.

That they're like, it's something you'll be on for the rest of your life.

Right.

Which I feel like really speaks to the fact that they're being paid by the pharmaceutical companies because every doctor I've spoken to said like using the drug as a tool with lifestyle changes,

there is data to prove that you can live off of it healthily.

Oh, that's so interesting and actually a really good point.

Cause when I heard them say that, like it's something that you should be on for the rest of your life, like I actually thought it was the first time someone was saying it, not in a negative way.

Like it's

always people are like, well, if you take it, you can never get off of it.

And it's like, yeah, no, this is a drug you should be on for the rest of your life if you need to be on it.

But you just put it in my head, skeptic, like, yeah, because they're getting paid and that's beneficial for people.

But the thing is, it's like, okay, it can be beneficial for them and beneficial for people too, to live a healthy life.

And that was sort of the thesis of this special, which I really appreciated.

It was like, there's not, you know, everyone's journey with weight and everyone's diagnosis of obesity is completely different.

So somebody.

can be on the drug, use it as a tool to lose the weight and change their life and not need it ever again.

Then there are people who are going to need it for their whole life to maintain.

It's not like a one-size-fits-all solution, but the fact that this works for an overwhelming amount of people with, you know, obesity is marvelous.

But she did also then interview a woman who it didn't work for.

And then she got too sick.

Not because it didn't work chemically, but she ended up in the emergency room.

She had bad side effects.

And the side effects are always, you know, stated in every headline everywhere.

So everyone knows, you know, nausea, vomiting.

And she was someone who just, it didn't work for her in that sense.

Yeah.

And she didn't seem like bitter about it and oprah said you know well there are other medications there's so many different types of

and i actually was on i actually don't know what uh

what type i went to like a

a doctor like a fat doctor many years ago and she had put me on one of these drugs before i'd ever heard of him it was called rebelsis oh it's semaglutide that's so interesting because i took it and got very sick and like literally threw like the whole idea was like i'm done with these sort of drugs had i known if i just tried a different one my life could have changed so many years prior.

I don't want to go down that road because it's frustrating and I think about it all the time.

So not every drug, you need to find the right fit.

For me, it took, you know, two different types of drugs to figure it out.

Yeah, but a lot of people can't literally, quite literally, afford to find the right fit because some are inaccessible and expensive and you cannot get your hands on them.

That was also a

topic that I think should have been spoken about a little bit more in depth.

One of the women,

the mother of the young girl who got bariatric surgery and then ended up on one of these drugs, was saying how her daughter's on

It starts with a V.

We were texting about it.

Yeah, it starts with a V.

Victrover.

Oh, Victroza.

Thank you.

Yes.

And while that's not like the best one she could be on, it's the only one that they can afford.

It's one of the older medications that the obesity doctors have been using, but it's not one of these new age ones we've heard of.

Ozempic, Manjaro, Wagovi, which was better.

You know, backstage, Oprah wrote them a check to get it.

And yeah, Oprah was just sort of listening, and I'm like, okay,

like,

open up your wallet.

Where's the checkbook?

And so I do feel like, you know, the drugs being inaccessible, expensive, and not covered by insurance, that was a topic that I think could have been delved into more.

But overall, like tens across the board, Oprah is out here doing important work.

I also thought it was interesting.

She did bring the CEO of Weight Watchers on.

She did address her leaving Weight Watchers.

And actually, I...

I believe her.

When you had told me that, I was like, okay, I know there's something going on.

But no.

So what I think now after watching the special is if she hadn't left the board and she did this special, it could be like a commercial for Weight Watchers.

Yes, no, but also like maybe an FCC viol violation.

Like she owns stock and she's kind of manipulating the market.

And so legally she took herself out of it, not so that people couldn't say she was doing it because of this, but because like legally she didn't want to get in trouble.

However.

Why can't you promote something that you have a vested interest in?

I just think like pharmaceuticals is probably like much more legal red tape.

Yeah, I should be.

I think it should be.

I just wanted to like not have it be an issue whatsoever.

But it's like if you're a board member for something, of course you want that company to succeed.

And you believe in it.

And you're going to go out there and promote it.

Yeah.

No, I agree.

But I thought that.

her bringing on the Weight Watcher CEO and Weight Watchers is obviously now fully vested in being a telehealth company and getting people GLP-1 medications, which I love, in tandem with their program.

And their program really works.

Like I've done it before and I found short-term success.

Like, it does work.

And I think what they're saying is, like, our program, coupled with weight loss medication, is an even better, you know, solution.

And I agree.

Yeah, you like Weight Watchers.

I thought that the Weight Watchers woman, she spoke very briefly.

I thought she was incredibly cogent, made fire points, and didn't contradict like Weight Watchers up until this point.

And I think the future for Weight Watchers looks bright.

You know what?

I really was just like,

sorry, never mind.

Continue.

what else did I want to say about the special?

I loved it.

10 out of 10.

Yeah, I could have like watched an hour more of just people's amazing stories because

when they had the girl on and they weren't showing her yet, they were just had her voice playing.

I'm like, I'm ready for the reveal.

And that's always fun to watch.

But I do think, in general, it being an hour was the right length of time.

It didn't get long in the tooth.

She covered every general area of conversation that people talk about when they talk about these drugs.

And I think, as a starter

for just public knowledge, it was very good.

Agreed.

It was important work.

I enjoyed it.

Me and Ben were like literally tearing up.

Yeah, it was really, it was really sweet.

Ben turned to me in the middle.

He was like so silent watching it.

And he turns to me, he said, Oprah is a queen.

That is so funny.

That is funny.

She really is.

Yeah, I watched it with Zach.

He was like going to cry.

No, it was really beautiful.

And it's like, I think for, you know, someone who's had such a positive experience with the drug and like can't say enough good things about it.

And I'm sure you who's like seeing, you know, the positive change in me, it's just so nice to see that finally reflected in media.

Like it really is.

It means a lot.

Yeah.

And we need more of that.

We do need more of it because I think a lot of people are scared who would benefit from it are scared off of

trying it.

Yep.

And your whole look, that first girl, like she needs a national conversation.

A young, beautiful mother who she said, I never left my house.

I was just not reaching my potential as a mom.

Like, that's so sad.

Like, the way her life is completely, I mean, I get it, but I think hers was on an even greater scale.

I think one of the things I always felt most proud of was like really not letting my weight get in the way of me living a full life.

But for most people, like that's always not always an option.

It can be debilitating in a mental sense, too.

Yeah.

But obviously physically, it's hard to get up, but mentally too.

And I just thought it was such a great example of someone who she's just, and I'd seen her TikToks come up on my for you page all the time because she really had such a drastic transformation.

She sort of used that as a platform to advocate for the drugs.

And I loved it.

And hearing from her was great.

I thought they did a really good job of addressing TikTok, which has been like a huge platform for A, misinformation about the drug, but B, also for me, like community.

Like when I was on the drug, before I shared it with people, I like ended up on Manjaro Talk and I found like so many helpful tips, like in terms of what to eat, where to place your drugs.

There really was like this sense of community, but it was very much like underground.

And Oprah's just bringing it above ground.

And I love that.

Yeah.

It's great.

Yep.

Are you ready for our next story?

Kate Middleton news.

She was seen on video for the first time shopping with Prince Harry at the farm.

Harry?

Prince William.

Well, that would be news.

That would be huge.

Prince William amid surgery recovery and endless speculation about her whereabouts.

So TMZ posted video footage from their visit to Windsor Farm shop.

Okay, so you know like people are convinced that this isn't her.

I've seen people saying it's not Kate.

Yes, I have.

I watched it with my own two eyes.

That looked like Kate to me.

The thing is, I didn't need proving because for me, it's no sleep till Easter.

Like, I believe, I believe Royal Communications.

I do.

Wow.

Okay.

Have I not made that?

Like, I believe that.

No, no, no.

I believe that the version that they're telling us is a very vague version of the truth.

Of the truth.

That is what I believe.

So just seeing her doing her farm tings, like,

great.

Thank you.

I feel not crazy no so i saw the headline it was like kate has been spotted and i watched a video and i'm not gonna lie like i felt deflated i felt disappointed like this has just been such a fun journey and so i understand people now grasping on to it's not her it's heidi agan who's like one of the most famous

kate impersonators like she think she like goes to birthday parties and stuff I get people, you know, sort of hanging on to that.

I think it's dark times out there.

People are bored.

And this has given us a sense of unity and a sense of strength.

What I have heard is that this is very much like an American conspiracy theory.

Yeah.

And in the UK, they're like, calm your biscuits.

I think people are bored.

And

I get that because I too felt a sense of sort of sadness when I saw this video of her.

I'm like, oh, she's alive and well.

That sucks.

Yeah.

And so people are not letting the theory die.

And I, you know, I get it, but I do think.

I think it's her.

And I think we need to let, you know, bygones be bygones.

Do I think it's hella convenient she she went to like a public place and there was not one other person behind her in the video like another person at the farm

yeah i do i thought that was strange but like a passerbyer

was there not it was clean empty yeah i mean the parking lot was full there were cars and stuff okay i'm going to watch the video again okay maybe they cleared maybe i see literally three people behind her

are they like royal people no they're sitting at a table like eating.

Okay, okay.

Oh, another extras.

Okay.

Another one.

It's also like a two-second video, but no, it seems as though there were people.

Okay.

And no one's like looking and like, oh, wow, that's Kate and Harry.

I mean, oh, my God.

Kate and William.

Well, they do look pretty low-key.

You would not think that these are...

He's wearing a hat.

She's wearing athleisure.

If you're not paying attention to your surroundings, looking out for Kate Middleton,

it's plausible to think you just think it's like a couple going to the farm.

But the person in the car knew, but nobody else did.

Well, that's an eagle-eyed viewer.

Yeah, no, I think if you wanted to poke holes and continue the theory, you could.

I think so too, and I know people will.

Yeah, I'm going to, I think, let it rest here.

Like, we've had our fun, and it was.

It was fun.

The memes made me giggle.

I enjoyed all of the content.

But I think it's time.

I do.

And I think, like, everybody kind of needs to get a grip.

Like, I understand the sadness and not wanting the fun to end, but the party's got to end.

And I think it officially, it ends here.

Yes.

But also,

some Kate adjacent news is that Rose Hanbury has spoken out and is responding to the Prince William affair rumors via her lawyers.

So

she told Business Insider via her lawyers that rumors that she had an affair

with William are completely false.

Yes.

And actually, I wanted to share this because I had said yesterday that the Rose Hanbury rumors started and ended with Dumois.

Now, they actually started years prior and they were

known to have been completely made up.

They laid dormant for a while and then Dumois resurfaced them and now they're just sort of believed to be true.

And let me read exactly.

It was started by a

journalist.

Hold on, somebody posted in Toast After Dark.

So the Rose Hanbury rumor did not begin on Dumois.

Like six years ago, a tabloid journalist started the rumor and then after being threatened with lawsuits from Rose and her husband, came clean and said it was made up for traction and publicity.

He knew Kate and William and Rose and her husband lived close to each other in Norfolk, so he picked Rose as a mistress at random.

Poor Rose.

The rumor is not based in fact.

It's literally garbage.

A couple of years ago, somebody obviously found out about the debunked rumor, wrote it into Dumois, and now TikTok users who've never paid attention to the Royals before have found it and sort of run rampant with it.

Kate and Rose are friends.

They actually went to a music festival together last year.

Pippa Middleton named her daughter Rose a few years ago.

Rose's husband is one of the richest and most esteemed members of nobility, which is why his son was in the coronation as a page.

So just some background on the rumor.

Yeah, I feel like everyone's feeling a little crazy right now.

Like they're,

if you are sensible, like you must be feeling a little stupid.

What did they say about Rose?

I mean, what did Rose say?

I'm sorry.

And why to Business Insider, like the loseriest publication with no reach and nobody uses it seriously?

I don't know why, but her lawyer said that it was completely false.

And I will not be becoming an insider and subscribing to learn more.

By the way, it's like she wanted nobody to see her statement because she put it on Business Insider, which nobody reads.

And two, behind a paywall, no one's paying for that shit.

So post it on Instagram if you want people to see it.

If not, it's like she's burying it in like the Luzurius app like publication.

Yeah, but it's like, if you know it's not true and there's not a morsel of truth to it, then just like let people look and act crazy.

You know?

I know, but they really, they've been taking it really far and saying like really defamatory things about her and her husband and her family.

And like at some point, like it's bothersome.

No matter how rich and noble you are.

Like it's bothersome.

She's a literal queen.

All of them are.

Well, she's actually a Marquess.

The richest member of nobility her husband is.

Like you think they really care what some people on Twitter are saying.

In another country.

Like it's beyond irrelevant.

And if she just puts her phone down, it all is over.

And she goes back to her fabulous life.

I guess like not saying anything also makes it look true.

And they are saying like things that are defamatory to her character.

Like I understand.

Saying not, but saying something also makes it look true too.

Thou doth to protest too much.

Like the argument can be made both ways.

No, I think like making one statement after all the speculation like doesn't that's how thou doth protest too much.

I just think there's no winning when people are hell-bent on thinking something is true.

Let them talk, talk that, talk.

As long as the people around her don't think it, that, you know, the people that she cares about, who cares?

Yeah

Rise above Rose

Rise above are you ready for our next story, which is kind of crazy, but I kind of get it Okay, Richard Simmons is backtracking the claim that he is dying and he's apologizing for confusion.

So Richard Simmons clarified that he's not actually dying just hours after claiming that he was.

It sounds bad, but I feel you, Richard.

The former fitness instructor took to social media on Monday to apologize to fans for

sparking concern over his health.

So he had went on a Twitter thread the other, yesterday.

Sorry, this all happened yesterday.

And he said, I have some news to tell you.

Please don't be sad.

I am dying.

Oh, I can see your faces now.

The truth is we are all dying.

Every day we live, we are getting closer to our death.

Why am I telling you this?

Because I want you to enjoy your life to the fullest every single day.

Get up in the morning and look at the sky, count your blessings and enjoy.

He went on to share a lot of tips for living like a healthy and beautiful life.

You know, eating oatmeal, eggs, wheat toast, how about a salad, maybe a workout.

Richard Simmons has some on YouTube.

And people thought that he was announcing that he was dying while also telling you how to enjoy your life to the fullest.

Then he said, I'm sorry, many of you have gotten upset about my message today.

Even the press has gotten in touch with me.

I am not dying.

It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have.

Sorry for this confusion.

So he was saying, like, I'm dying in the sense that we are all going to be a single-speaking.

Right.

The second you're born, you're literally dying.

Now,

I can see how somebody would read the tweet and A, think that he actually is dying, or B, like understand what he was really trying to say.

I think, I don't think he was intentionally being confusing, but I could see how people got confused.

And that said, he's a beloved figure.

When I read the tweet, primary source, I thought he was saying we are all dying in the general sense but because i was reading that under the guise of like richard simmons says he's dying i was like oh it kind of sounded like he was just saying we're all dying but oh sad he's dying too he's dying like more immediately yeah like in the near future but then i was happy to go back

to reading it through the other lens like yeah we are all dying live healthy make good choices go forth he did He did end his, you know, thesis saying, yes, live healthy, make good choices.

And please stream Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw.

That's what he said.

A beautiful message.

And I actually feel like that part was the most misleading.

No, because actually what he's trying to say is the lyrics to Live Like You Were Dying.

Nobody went to Tim McGraw.

Yeah, by the way, because he said live like you were dying.

He was very clear that he actually wasn't dying, but you should live like you are.

Yeah.

But when Tim McGraw wrote that, nobody accused him of being like, oh, you told us you were dying.

He's like, like, no, because

in the song, he makes it very clear that he's not.

Literally in the title, live like you were dying.

It makes it clear that you're not, but you should live like you are.

What would be awake if he didn't do that?

How would you phrase it if you were dying?

Live because I'm dying.

Live because I'm dying.

Okay, which I mean, Jackie.

You know what?

That's giving

title.

Live because you're dying.

Yeah.

And I think that's.

That literally sounds like a line from Yellowstone.

You gotta live because you're dying.

You know?

Yeah.

I think it's a good message in general.

I think Richard Simmons.

I got lost in the

bring it across our desk.

Like, yeah, life is short.

We are all dying.

Live like it.

It's beautiful, Richard.

What's like the craziest thing you've ever done?

Like when I saw your friend Dana over the weekend and she was telling me about how she surprised her husband on her honeymoon with skydiving.

And they went to this like really scary airstrip and like it was the scariest thing ever.

And they did it.

And her husband, who was like, Dana's crazy, ended up having like the most amazing experience.

Dana had done it before.

He had not.

And I was like, I've never done anything like,

you know, daredevilish.

Have you?

Like, I've never went bungee jumping.

No, not in a daredevilish sense.

Like things that seemed crazy for me, but for other people would be like, okay, you jumped off the diving board.

Congrats.

Yeah, nope.

Literally same.

You dived into the I'm trying to think like.

Like the leap of faith in the Bahamas.

Like, I'm sorry, but we're just not.

We're not like that.

I don't like to test God.

I'm just not a person who believes in doing dumb things for what?

Like a video?

No, it's just for me, it's for what?

Like, say all goes well and whatever.

For what?

Right.

For the experience is why people do it.

I'm really trying to think, like, I've never gone like swimming with sharks.

Like, I've never, not even gotten swimming with dolphins.

Like, I've never done anything even remotely crazy.

I like jumped off of like a rock in the British Virgin Islands, but like in hindsight, it was probably six feet.

Yeah, I jumped off like a rock yeah

yeah

i've never like yeah like i've done a roller coaster

i wonder if brian has ever gone skydiving i feel like he's like too tall you can't even fit in the plane

i don't think that's a thing i know he does like scuba diving he's done like swimming with whales like no i've never done anything like that maybe you're kind of exposing him like Because he's the...

He's not a real thrill seeker?

No, like, he's, first of all, a thrill seeker plus aviation thrill seeking, and he hasn't done it i'm gonna ask him if he's ever gone skydiving i really don't think he has and i don't think he will now because he's like a dad

i feel like he would i feel like maybe he i would if i had to bet i would say that have you ever gone skydiving question mark if not comma would you ever and if not comma why

would you ever

Okay, I asked.

I'll leave that open.

I'm very curious to see what he says.

I feel like he has.

You do?

Yeah, I feel like I would have seen a photo.

Free Instagram.

oh yeah i think he has been doing the travel game he's done it didn't need to do it again but he has done it is what i think okay i mean we'll see he's not typing yet but he's the type of person he's always on his phone okay i love people like that are you ready for our next story no

Thank you, Claudia.

You're welcome.

Our next story, Ariana Grande will pay her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, $1.25 million as they finalize their divorce.

The dissolution of the former couple's two-year marriage became official Tuesday in the L.A.

Superior Court.

She and he settled the case in October 2023, but were required to wait six months before the judge's order could take effect.

So she, who has an estimated net worth of $240 million, will make a one-time payment of $1.25 million to...

Dalton with no future alimony.

She has also agreed to give him half of the proceeds from the sale of their LA home and will pay up to $25,000 toward his attorney fees.

And then that's that on that.

Okay, I just want to say, like, obviously, a million dollars sounds like a lot of money in the scheme of a divorce and how much worse it could have been, Kelly Clarkson, Adele.

She obviously, like, she's going to be the seven husbands of Ariana Grande.

I think she knows that.

And she has this ironclad prenup that if anybody wants to marry her, like, they just have to sign this document.

And a million dollars to her is like, I want to say like $1,000 to a normal person, maybe less, actually, like $100.

Good work, you know?

Yeah.

Good work.

Generous to give the sale of the house.

But again, these are pennies to her.

Yeah.

Also the proceeds of the sale of the house.

So say she bought the house.

I'm sure she got more money back and then whatever.

If they made a little money on the house, you got half of that.

Half.

No, it's giving charity case.

And I love it.

Like I love, love, love when successful women have more money.

And like, I just, I love that.

Like, it's one of my favorite things, like giving no money to your husband.

Whereas like, if the rules were reverse, like give her half you know of everything of course but it's still like he got a million dollars no and I'm like ew ick you took money a million dollars from a woman like you're disgusting I this is one of my favorite tropes I love when like successful women embarrass men you know mm-hmm I love that yeah this seems that feels right in the words of the redheads It does feel right.

Like when Adele, I didn't love when Adele gave $70 million to that.

She gave him $70 million.

They got married in California.

I don't believe they had a prenup, like literally half of everything.

She was worth $140 million.

He got $70.

Is that not the craziest, most like that's where, like, and I believe in marriage, you know?

Like, I just feel like that's nuts.

That's

despicable.

Despicable.

Wow.

Okay.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Okay, but then I don't think it's so despicable when Mackenzie Bezos got like, you know, $100 billion.

Like, I love that for her.

It's not one-size-fits-all.

No, and you know what it is?

So sorry.

It's extremely gendered.

It is gendered.

It is.

He never said it wasn't.

Right, so Adele giving him a child and $70 million.

Like, I'm sick.

Vomiting.

Vomiting.

It's disgusting.

How many kids do Mackenzie Bezos have?

A number.

Number.

A number.

Mackenzie Bezos.

Yeah, and she was with him from the beginning, like, you know, garage.

Garage.

Four kids.

Four kids.

I'm sorry.

That's worth $36 billion or whatever it was.

$36 billion.

And by the way, she gave it all away.

I think she kept like a million dollars for herself.

Couldn't be me.

I think she kept a little more than that.

Like, I'm sure she gave away a lot.

I'm sure she kept a lot.

No, I think there's a lot to go around.

No, it's true.

If somebody gave me 36 billion, like, I really wouldn't need all that.

And if I was like an extremely charitable person, yeah, I'd give away 35.

Yeah, you really don't need more than a billion dollars.

I think that's where things.

Okay, maybe Jackie.

34.

Two billion.

Yeah, because you want to give me one.

Oh, okay, so 33.

Yeah.

And then I have to give Ben one, too.

I feel like after 2 billion, like things get problematic.

Murky.

Yeah, it's there is, I do believe there is such thing as too much money.

Like it's important to, you know, and you know, I think money problems are relative.

Like whether you have a lot of money, what someone would consider a lot of money, or you, you know, live in poverty, like everybody has their own, well, poverty is different, but you know what I mean?

Like everybody worries about money on a different scale.

And you could see someone who you perceive to be super wealthy, but it's all relative to them.

Like they're worried worried about their bills they'll have a higher quality higher uh cost of living but i also feel like just karmically the absolute wealthiest people are not the happiest so you don't want to be there no no no you got to bring it together i would like to be no i'd feel like a really good amount of money to have is like 500 million dollars like that would make me feel good yeah i feel like the kardashians are happy honestly

Yeah, but they have stayed really in their own weird way, like grounded in their values and family and religion, things like that.

You have to, when you get hit with fame or money, like you have to stay grounded in certain things.

that's why a lot of celebrities people like are always shocked to find are very religious no but i'm saying that like 500 million range is like the the exact amount of money that the kardashians have more or less 500 million billion no because kim and kylie are both billionaires yeah liquidity liquidity

you

are we talk about theory going around that kylie's like broke poor

and that's why she's starting all these companies just like hopefully one hits in the way that kylie cosmetics did they think she lives beyond her means she's selling her beverly hills house um i don't think so.

I also think it's more expensive to start companies than to just like take a million dollars for an Instagram post.

Agreed, by the way.

I also think, I don't dislike the theory that there are certain celebrities who might be, you know, not as wealthy as we think they are.

I don't think Kylie to be one of them.

Of all the things you could say about the girls, like they're extremely savvy, business-wise, financially.

Chris makes sure everybody's really sort of buttoned up.

So I like the theory.

I just don't think it applies to Kylie.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't think so.

Me neither.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Oh, bidding is such sweet sorrow.

Yeah, but it's actually something that's been speculated on for a while.

And we have our first bit of news that the new James Bond has been chosen.

And it's definitely giving wah, wah, wah.

British actor Aaron Taylor Johnson has been formally offered the chance to play James Bond and will sign contracts this week, says a source.

So if you don't know Aaron Taylor Johnson, neither did I.

Oh, I know him because he's in a very weird relationship, right?

Is that the guy?

Who is that?

Okay, people on TikTok are obsessed.

I believe Aaron Taylor Johnson is like more of a, he got his start in theater.

Okay.

Aaron Taylor Johnson.

Yes.

And he's married to Sam Taylor Johnson, who is like

many, many years his senior.

They met in 2009.

He was 18.

She was 42.

They have been together ever since.

It's really fucking weird.

But how do you know that?

Like, how do you know him?

From what?

People, from the relationship.

People are obsessed because he's like really, really hot.

It's like, oh, who is he going to date?

And then you find out he actually married the woman who groomed him when he was 18, you know?

And that's why it's Taylor Johnson.

They put their last names together.

I think he was Johnson and she was Taylor.

Oh, because she wasn't going to take his name.

They met.

She was his director.

I believe.

She's a filmmaker.

So I'm sorry.

Look, like it's gross and I don't like it.

How long have they been married?

Since 2009.

So at what point can you say like this is true love and I accept it?

Oh, I don't think I can.

Ever.

Because it was, yeah, it was kids, grandkids, and you would still say this was wrong.

Yeah.

Is that crazy?

Kind of.

Oh, no, because I feel like,

He will never be able to like know anything other because, you know, when he was so so vulnerable, and you think about how boys have the emotional maturity, they're like five years delayed.

He was really like 13.

Stop, don't say that.

He was.

No, I'm sorry.

This is, it's disgusting.

And honestly, I don't like it.

Okay.

Hopefully, he gets really, really famous as Bond, gets all like the money and access in the world.

And I don't know, maybe meets a therapist or I don't know, something.

I think he's trapped.

No, I don't think he's trapped.

I think it's sort of like, what's that Stockholm syndrome kind of?

Like, he's a victim.

and I just want to say I don't like it for Bond I feel like we've had there's been sort of

you know people championing certain actors to get the role over the years it was Idris Elba but they took too long and he kind of you know aged aged out Miles Teller Reget Jean Paul like there are all these people

I didn't see anybody saying Aaron Taylor Johnson should be it now I obviously like that he's British

I think

I like it he looks just like Daniel Craig it looks like he could they're not trying to reinvent the role They're just like, here, here's another one.

Another one.

I don't like it.

I don't dislike it.

He's handsome.

By the way, mind you, I've never seen a Bond movie in my life, so this is not for me.

And nobody haven't?

Nobody over at Team Bond gives a rip what I think.

I've seen a 007.

I've not seen one.

That's like really crazy.

No, he's super hot.

I just, I don't like it.

Who would you have wanted to see?

Mind you, should be someone British.

Harry Styles.

But then he's only ever like that kind of limits you.

I know about that.

I didn't mean that in a serious way.

I know he's not right for it.

And he's like, too busy.

Yeah.

Who's like the young hot British thing, you know?

But buff.

Buff.

Someone like Taryn Edgerton, but he obviously has his own franchise, which is so good.

The Kingsman.

So good.

I don't know.

I would need to think about it.

Like on a really serious...

I need to do some research.

Okay.

Well, also, this is kind of a rumor, though.

I do think it's true because this came out of nowhere.

He came out of nowhere.

Unless he's, this is really good marketing for him.

Like, make everyone think you have the role.

And then they'll be like, oh, yeah, he would be good for it.

Right, right.

Like, they start seeing you as Bond.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But the thing is, it's not hard to see him as Bond.

He looks like a young Daniel Craig.

I don't like it.

Okay.

I don't dislike it.

Well, we'll just have to agree to dislike.

And I feel like he's someone who will become Bond as opposed to Bond now becoming about the actor.

Like he's.

It needs to be somebody like well-known, but not enough that it's confusing because you are Bond forever.

You are Bond forever.

Bond is you.

You are one.

You are bonded.

Even like characters Daniel Craig has played between Bond movies are Bond coded.

Yeah.

He's just like that slick, you know, sort of, he doesn't play anyone poor ever, you know?

Yeah, he was in Glass

Onion.

Knives Out.

Glass Onion.

Both.

Was he in Knives Out?

He's the detective.

Knives Out and then Knives Out, Glass Onion.

Right, right.

Oh, is he.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Was.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I saw those.

Yes.

Yeah, no, that's cool.

So, yeah.

I guess that's

Brian.

Brian answered me.

So interesting.

He has not

because he's so tall, he is above the weight limit.

So you were right.

Well, I guess

about his height, he said impetus, but because of weight.

What's the weight limit?

But

I probably would, though.

It's safe, is what he said.

What's the weight limit?

I don't know.

I wonder if the weight limit has to do with the plane or the parachute.

I think the parachute.

And I wonder if, like, Brian, how far away is he?

Like, maybe he would lose a few just to do it.

Right, Right.

He probably is on the cusp because he's a fit guy.

Right.

And maybe it's like, okay, if I lost 10 pounds, I could go skydiving.

Then I can go back to my right.

Is it 50?

Is it 10?

It's a good point.

But clearly, he's thought it through.

Yeah, no, obviously, I'm sure every time he goes to like a place, one of the things to do is like, you got to skydive here.

And he's like, I can't.

He should have done it when he was younger before he got so tall.

So true.

I wonder what the age limit is, the minimum.

Well, you have to sign like your whole life away.

So I think.

I think 18.

Oh, the minimum.

I think it's the limit.

Oh, for sure.

Otherwise, you need a parent or guardian, and really, who's going to want their children?

So, yeah, kid, son, have a good day.

I feel like it's something that people do when they like finally get out of the house.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They go to another country for the first time.

They're like, fuck it.

I'm skydiving.

No, like, I would never.

Yeah.

So that's it.

That's it.

That's the whole whole thing.

That's the show.

Why don't you wrap it up today?

Okay.

Thank you so much for listening to the toast today and every day.

Really, we appreciate you so much.

It's so nice to have listeners of our elk who really enjoy this jolly good show that we put on.

Oh, she's making a meal of it.

I'm making an acceptance speech, okay?

It's been wonderful doing the show with my girl, La Swirl.

La turd, she's off to go running.

We wish her well on this journey.

Oh, I forgot.

Sorry.

I need to eat something first.

Don't make me ask.

What are you going to eat?

I don't know.

Fuck now.

I'm in like a literal bad mood.

Oh, geez.

Okay.

I'll just wrap it up.

Love ya.

Bye.
