The Nish Vagiving Tree: Thursday, January 11th, 2024

Good morning, millennials.

Well, welcome back to the toast and happy Thursday.

Hope everybody's having an amazing, beautiful, standing, and smart day.

Speaking of beautiful, standing, and smart, it's Jackie O.

Hello, Jacqueline Folet.

How are you today?

Hey, Letter Dele.

I'm doing well.

Are we gonna be honest?

We're gonna be honest that.

No, Jaggie, let's lie.

Really?

Even though we said on the show today slash yesterday that we were recording this on Wednesday.

Okay, okay, it's Wednesday.

Claudia, we're authentic to a fault.

You know this.

I know, like, why can't we just pre-record our episodes without like word vomiting?

Like, okay, it's not Thursday.

You caught us.

But there's nothing to catch.

Like, again, we need to remind ourselves, it's our show.

It's our rules.

No, and we're like kind of constantly putting this pressure on ourselves and we really need to stop.

Yeah, like we can make our own rules.

We can record anytime we want as long as the episode drops.

And you know what else?

We get what we want.

And this winter break, we want Jordan.

Also, I feel like it is germane to the episode that we be brutally honest about the time of day because i do think that it affects the episode i do no i'm not gonna lie when we pre-record episodes it doesn't happen a lot but every now and then you know jackie and i aren't available in the morning so the night before we'll record the episode for that day it barely ever ever ever happens but sometimes it does and we i think are like the craziest during those episodes no not even crazy necessarily just different you know the day has taken its toll on us we've been through stuff and i feel like every morning when we do the toast, you ask me, like, hi, how are you?

Like, what's going on?

And I completely forget what I did the day before.

Like, Tabula Rasa, every day, why are you doing your makeup and not listening to me?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not doing my makeup.

I'm not doing my makeup.

Let me tell you, because you know,

no, you know, my lash lift is my new personality.

Yeah.

They gave me these little spoolies.

They say, always, you know, try and brush every morning and night.

So I just forgot.

And the spoolie was sitting right here.

I'm 100% listening.

I'm just brushing my lash.

You're going to have to tell your spoolie that you can't brush right now because you're busy.

Spoolie, I have to go.

Bye.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

You were saying?

I was saying that usually in the mornings, like, I don't remember what I did the day before.

Tabula Rasa.

But now, like, I remember what I did today.

Oh, I remember.

It's still very in the front of my mind.

I recorded the Redheads today, which will be up on Thursday, but the episode was so long because the...

This Thursday?

Today.

Today.

So you guys, you have to talk to people like it's Thursday.

Okay.

The episode episode is going to be, is up today.

It might not be up now.

It's up now.

I don't know about that because I have to edit four people's audios.

I think we recorded for like an hour.

30.

I'm going to bring it down, but

there's a lot to edit because I want to shorten it a little bit.

And that's going to take me a few hours.

And it's already nine o'clock and I haven't started.

So y'all gorilla is busy.

Anyways, new episode of the Redheads coming at you.

And that was a major key, major key of my day.

Today, Sasha yesterday.

A major key of my day yesterday.

Today is the dresser arrived.

Look, it's right behind me.

You can see?

Yeah.

Having a dresser is so life-changing, especially when your clothes have just been in piles on the floor, like where the dresser would have been.

The dresser is now here and my drawers are filled with my underwear and my leggings.

And I just feel so

good about it.

I'm so happy for you.

It's so nice to have a dresser.

I have a dresser, but without a dresser, it's not the right dresser for me.

Living without a dresser, less than living with a dresser.

That's profound.

Was that Socrates?

How do you pronounce the word D-R-A-W-E-R?

Depends what part of the country I'm in.

Drawers.

No, come on.

Drawers.

What's the other way?

It's like a really like, it's a bad word.

Like, they should have had something better.

It is a bad word.

I was saying it.

I said it to Harry, like.

the other day or today,

and I remember feeling like that's kind of a confusing word.

Drawer, drawer, like what the hell?

Yeah, like I kind of wished what I was talking about, like, had another word because I just feel like that's a hard word for a child.

Oh, definitely, it's a hard word for me.

What'd you say?

And also, it's like, I'm pretty sure draw is what I do with my crayons, not right.

And the kids are, they know, they know draw, like draw, like color, not where I keep my clothes.

And this one book that we read, um, it's like the sequel to The Gringe.

It's like, and he drew, drew, drew, drew, and it's like, oh, drew and draw in my drawers.

And then drawers is like your underwear.

It's like the Grinch drew.

And that's also where I keep my pajamas.

Yeah, the word draw is like a dresser to color underwear.

Like, why does it have so many meanings?

I don't know.

Dumb.

It's not that great.

Mistake, mistake, God.

Another.

Thing that I was thinking because tonight I was reading the book the rainbow fish have you read that book recently?

You mean last night you were were reading the book the rainbow fish?

Last night we were reading rainbow fish.

And of course it's a classic because it's with the colorful scales?

With the colorful scales.

Obsessed.

But I hadn't read it, obviously, in decades.

And I couldn't have told you what the storyline was, but I'm finding it to be a little problematic.

Why?

What's it about?

Rainbowfish is overparty.

So basically, there's a fish in the sea that's rainbow fish, and he is the most beautiful fish in the sea.

And he has the scales that are shiny.

And like one day a little fish comes and asks him for a scale.

And he's like, no, like go away scratch

yeah but and he also like doesn't have friends because he's like so beautiful and he just kind of like floats around does he not have friends because like everybody makes fun of him or because he's a duke they want him to play with them i think but he's just like too beautiful like he's just like too into himself and then someone asked him for a scale and he was like no and then he had no friends and he was a big loser and he was lonely so they said like go see the octopus like she's like the wise puss and the octopus okay that's obviously you're by the in this if we ever did like a toast adaptation of rainbow fish like you are the wise octopus and i am the egotistical fish but i know i don't like love her advice because she said that you should give away your shiny scales and so the book like he goes and he gives a scale to everyone he's he's left with zero scales and i and then he's happy and he has friends and i just felt like the message is kind of like you have to dull your shine in order okay this is so to get along

no so problematic one yes dull your shine clearly that's a message that's being spread but also like why can't this book teach kids?

Like, if you have something of value, whether it's beauty, smarts, whatever it is, like to be gracious.

Yeah, like you could still play with them and be nice.

And it was also like giving like a little bit of communism.

It's like this one fish kid.

Everybody gets my scales.

Yeah, I have to distribute my scales equally.

And also at the end, I don't even think he had one scale.

No, this is dumb.

I found it to be extremely problematic.

Rainbow Fish is overparty.

I could get behind that.

Hashtag Rainbowfish's Overparty.

And I was reading and I was like, where is this going?

Is this a good thing that he's giving away his skills?

I feel like he's selling his shine.

Sure, he was a little bit of a prick, but there are other ways without taking away the thing that makes you special.

So that I feel happens a lot with like children's books.

Like, I remember the first time as a somewhat like a conscious adult that I went back and reread The Giving Tree, which was my favorite book.

Oh my God, you could cry from this book.

It's so sad and pathetic.

Like,

it's heartbreaking.

Why are you reading that?

It should be called the Nishvagina.

The Nishvagina.

Okay, that's another Yiddish word that we've, I don't think, ever used.

Such a good word.

It's like a

thankless.

Yeah, like twat.

Wait,

Nisha.

Hold on.

It is really hard to describe Yiddish words, especially ones that have like matriculated.

That's the thing about Yiddish.

That's why it slaps so hard because they don't have direct translations.

That's why we go to these words.

Okay, I'm looking up Nishvagina, but like it's, how do you, how would you even spell Nishvagina?

Let me try.

It's a vagina.

Nishvagina, Yiddish.

No, it's like not coming up.

It's like a, it's honestly, you know what it is?

Jaggie.

It's a thoughtless little pig.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's what Alex Baldwin was trying to say.

The Nishvaging tree.

The Nishvagiving tree.

That giant title.

But how do you spell it?

The N-I-S-H space.

In this context, it would be V-A-G-I-V-I-N-G, the Nishvegiving Tree.

Unless it's Nish V.

The classic F-V swap.

The classic swap.

Nishvegina Yiddish.

That's also like one of the great things about having a lot of Jewish friends is like I feel like the Yiddish words Yiddish for those who don't know is a is a lost language.

It's not really spoken

But you know the Jews of yore brought it with them to the states and it's slowly lost whatever but every family like has their own Jewish I mean Yiddish phrases that

like never stayed with them that trickled down but that doesn't mean they're like everybody knows the mainstream ones like you know

punch and mensch and schwitz like everybody knows the classic ones but every family like has their own that like I honestly feel like are made up.

And then like you go to someone else's house and they're using Yiddish phrases and like you don't know them.

And every now and then you have like a crossover.

I was just with Abe.

I was telling him about how we always use the word frask.

That's a good one.

He had never heard it and he's family's like very Yiddish, very Ashkenaz.

And he was like, what's a frask?

And I'm like, oh, you know, you give a frask.

A frask is like a hit.

A big slap, like a frask.

No, but it also could be like, you know, like a punch or an elbow.

It's not necessarily like a bitch slap.

It's a frask.

Yeah, no, in our house, like if you wanted to use it in a sentence, you would always say like, and I gave him such a frask.

That's not a sentence.

Oh, I didn't mean it in a sentence.

I just meant like, you know, shut up, okay?

Yeah.

Also, if you do not know, Yiddish is a combination of Hebrew and

an amalgamation of like Eastern European languages.

So it is, um,

that's what it is.

And yeah, that's what our anger is.

And they spoke it like in the shtets.

It's very fiddler on the roof.

Yeah, it was also a lot of it was genocided in the Holocaust.

So yes,

we take what we can get, but yeah, it's like passed down.

It's the language of our old country.

But I do want to say,

I've known Yiddish like my whole life as a language.

I obviously don't speak it.

I know phrases.

I had never heard anybody.

speak it like conversationally until a few years ago where I went to it was actually like a really special event where like we got to hear this woman speak who was like a scholar of Yiddish language which most people there's probably like 15 in the whole world.

Um, and she's like started to read a poem, like a famous Yiddish poem.

And when I tell you, she sounded so fucking weird.

Like, I could not stop laughing.

Like, she literally said, like,

like,

it's like she's speaking.

Ablib, it was literally gibberish.

Abli, babe blue, baby,

because it's like, she's speaking Hebrew wrong, she's speaking Polish wrong, she's speaking German wrong.

It doesn't sound right because it's.

Oh, it felt like I was back in high school, like, giggling in the back of the classroom.

Like, I couldn't stop laughing.

That's so funny.

Did you know that i took a college course

i did yiddish and i feel like that is underrated and more colleges should offer it and i got so much out of it and it's such a cool class

and it's giving like ally to the jewish community so correct me if i'm wrong because i'm i'm really not a smart person i think it's like so important that we always remember that like

is yiddish giving like latin

Because it's lost.

Yeah.

And it's like of your?

In the sense that it's of your and that it's lost, yes, but there are thousands of lost languages.

But no, Latin is actually the opposite because, well, yeah, we would never know.

That's like a bug out, like when you invented a whole language,

it's babel, it's tower of babel, babble,

but Latin is like an R is you know the origin of language, so right, it's kind of the opposite of Yiddish, which is like two languages put together, not like roots.

Okay, okay, I got it.

Yiddish is giving Creole.

I don't know a lot about Creole.

Oh, Creole is French and...

It's like French, English.

They speak it in the Caribbean.

It's like a combination of like a bunch of languages.

Yeah.

Creole language.

Yeah, so that's like our version.

Haitian, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fascinating.

Cool.

Oh my god, look at us being linguistic queens.

Oh, don't get me started on the word linguistics.

You guys know my story.

We are linguistic queens.

We always talk about languages because of Tower of Babel.

Yeah, and just because we're like smart people, you know?

Yeah, and language is fascinating.

Language is fascinating.

I mean that.

Should we use our fascinating language to dive into the fast five?

Sure, if there's nothing else.

I mean, we don't have to.

Like, I'm in no particular rush.

I guess I'm technically in a rush.

to do everything that I haven't done yet today, you know?

Yeah.

Like, I have so much to do.

Plus, the redhead's editing i need to get into the editing bay

i know you kind of admitted something vulnerable today yesterday excuse me on the toast that the redheads is a non-profit but like would the redheads ever consider hiring an editor like

no i'm too protective of it and i've also thought recently like we kind of need to hire a social media manager because i do it and i if you follow us closely like it comes in waves you know there's droughts and there's there's rainfall it's based on your like personal social events calendar yeah And so I really should get some help with that.

But it's just not that important to like be on social media.

I don't think that.

I don't know.

It's like our social media, we figured it out.

You know, it's, it's going.

It's busing.

And

it's fine.

Yeah.

To get an editor for the episodes would be good.

But it's like, I know what I want to take out.

I'm just too protective of my people.

Also, even though the Red Heads is a non-for-profit, We did have a sponsor on the episode.

We do have sponsors, like probably one or two per episode, but it doesn't cover everyone's fee, you know?

So it sounds like you're just a poorly run business.

Yes, no, I'm not in it for the money.

Yeah, no, but by the way, like

the Redheads, like, sell a lot of merch.

I think that's worth mentioning.

Yeah, but our sponsor, everyone was really excited.

It was Caraway.

And Caraway sent all of the girlies I already had, but they sent everyone a non-stick frying pan and they were obsessed.

Oh my God.

Love that.

What's the code?

Don't do that.

Redheads.

No.

use code redheads.

Come on guys, we need more sponsors.

It's a code that test.

Just give it, throw the redheads a bone.

Code redheads.

Yeah, throw the reds a bone.

Use code what?

Red?

Redheads.

Read heads.

So this is a good thing.

This makes you giggle.

With the redheads, and by the way, I chose your book.

None of this is true.

Lisa Jewell.

Oh my God, I'm so excited.

I also feel like, I need to check.

I feel like I had a dream that Lisa Jewel DM'd me, but I actually don't think it was a dream.

Because I was posting a lot about her books.

Like, and why wouldn't she DM me?

You know, Lisa Jewel, UK.

Oh, yeah, all of her books are in the UK.

I love UK families.

She did.

I'm telling you.

No, okay.

I have to respond to her.

So maybe you can get her on the Redheads.

I know.

I'm sure a lot of authors would want to come on the Redheads, but it's not really something that we've broached.

Oh, it's not something you're open to?

No, I'm open to it.

And I had said a while ago that if I ever had more bandwidth and like wanted to take on more, one thing I would want to do is add another episode of

the Redheads.

Like we do an episode once a month and I would love to do two a month.

And the one a month is the book club and the other one is like, you know, if there's an author that just came out with your book.

Or just like book chat.

Yeah, or like talking with like book influencers, fellow readers, like just doing a kind of more

chit-chat episode that's book-centric, but I have not found the time.

But still, that is something I'd like to do.

First of all, I didn't know that that was like a goal of yours, and now it is my mission to help you achieve that goal.

So here's what I propose.

Okay.

What if I joined the Redheads, but for the other episode?

Would that help you?

How?

No.

Like, because like I would just coordinate everything.

So like, yes, you would still have to do the work, but like I would just do it all for you.

And like you would just sit down in the chair.

No, it's the work.

It's all right.

She doesn't want me involved in her passions.

No, I mean, we invite you on the Redheads every time you have something to say about the book.

You're still doing your lashes.

By the way, I'm just like, it's the same as like if I was sitting here like combing my hair.

Like it's just.

I know you do that sometimes, but it's giving like not paying full attention to your sister who's only has eyes for you.

Wow, I mean, I literally just offered like up like my life to help you with your passion project.

And not only did you turn me down, you're now yelling at me.

So maybe we should just get into the past five stories.

How about that?

You are always welcome on an episode of the Redheads when you've read the book.

You always join.

And maybe you'll join the next one because it's...

That's just not what I was talking about.

I would love to, even though

it's been like a month since I read the book.

And, you know, all those thrillers, when you read so many of them, you forget like who was who, who died, who killed who.

Yeah,

it's true about the thrillers.

They're kind of a dime a dozen,

which it's easy to have like a good book that you like, but it's kind of hard to stand out among the pack.

It is.

It's, you know, it's giving.

Thriller.

Thriller.

What books are you going to read for your vacation?

So glad you brought that up because I was just packing.

And I told you guys a story about how I stole the book from the rental house.

And like, honestly, like, ever since I said it on the toast, I wish I didn't say it.

Cause like I literally stole, like, I admitted to thievery.

Um,

but I'm not packing a checked bag, so like, I have to be really, really tight.

And, like, I just would prefer to bring just my Kindle than my Kindle and my stolen book.

I think my stolen book will remain at home for me.

And I bought, like, I'm gonna buy like a dumb romance book because I'm gonna be on the beach with like a bunch of friends.

I probably won't even read that much.

I'll be drinking.

Like, it's not that, it's not that kind of trip.

But for the plane ride, like, maybe it's not a serious reading trip.

Like, don't worry.

Yeah, but Jackie, this is the kind of stuff we talk about.

If you'd let me join the Redheads for the second episode.

Okay, I will.

Oh, you want to be on the second episode?

That's what I was saying.

Like, I don't want to be a Redhead.

Like, you guys have a great thing going on.

I thought you were preferring to join the Redheads book club.

No, no, that's like handled.

But for the second episode, like, I could kind of just be like your assistant almost.

Like, where I would, like, we could come up with ideas and like I would find the authors to interview or influencers and I would set it all up and you would just have to sit down and then I would edit too.

Oh my God, that's so nice.

Would you want to be on camera?

Like would you want to be on the show?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You thought I was just like...

At first, I thought you wanted to to be on the show.

Oh, you don't want me to be on the show?

You want me to do all the fucking work?

Oh my God, this is literally insane.

First, I thought you wanted to be on the book club.

Then I assumed, then you want to be on the second episode.

Then it started to sound like you wanted to be my producer.

No, I'm just saying that I would, like, this is something you want to do, but like you don't have the bandwidth for everything involved.

So I'll do, like, I'll be, we'll do it together, but like, I'll do everything like that's required.

You know what?

I'm sorry about it.

Just an episode of the toast?

No, but like we would interview authors,

influencers who like to read.

We would just maybe have like episodes where we talk just about books.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

So we would be doing it together.

Okay.

You know what?

Like I really wish I had an offer because you're making like you're making fun of me now.

No, I'm not.

You just misrepresented the idea in so many different ways.

I'm going back to brushing my eyebrows, okay?

And your eyelashes.

Okay, just think about it, okay?

I actually, I will think about it, Lautard, and I do hope that in the next few months, I'm able to take on more, you know, things.

I really think it's time we take the redheads to the next level.

And I think I have to get involved, like for real, because we have weirdly like so much influence when it comes to reading books.

Like we need to build a brand around that, you know?

Yeah.

I do also get some like inbound emails to the redheads email that are like interesting that I don't even respond to.

Or like you, like, that's what I'm saying.

Like, you're managing the brand and like, no offense, like, that's why you are where you are.

Like, you're just too booked and busy.

Like, mom of two, full-time

working mom.

Like, I get it.

Let me help.

It's true.

The brand could go to the next level.

Like we should become Hello Sunshine.

Right.

Or like, okay, not Hello Sunshine.

Like, let's be real.

But like a Jenna Bush Hager vibe, you know?

Okay.

She's literally just as big.

Okay, sorry.

Like an Oprah.

Yeah, like similar to Oprah, Reese, Jenna, Red.

Red.

The name on everybody's lips.

No, I really like where your head's at.

And that is goals, like Red Head's production company.

Right.

Let me help you.

Okay.

We'll strategize.

I appreciate your persistence.

You've got the job.

Great.

You're hyped.

Start on Monday.

No, it's a holiday, and we appreciate it.

Start on Tuesday.

Start on Tuesday.

Okay, now we can get into the stories that are storying on this day of Thursday.

Without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.

And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by a new show on Netflix.

It is called The Trust, a game of greed.

11 strangers are given a quarter of a million dollars to split evenly.

Will they take their fair share, or will the allure of more money cause them to vote each other out to keep more for themselves?

It's the ultimate test of human nature, as greed and mistrust threaten to destroy even the strongest of relationships.

In the game, everyone starts as winners, and they can all leave as winners if they choose to share.

I just know if I was on this show, like, my god, everybody would be going home with nothing because I would ruin it for everyone.

Like, I'm a greedy person, and I also am just very mistrusting.

Like, I just don't believe that this group of people would like have my best interest at heart.

So, the show is premiering on Netflix.

It's a new competition series where 11 strangers are being offered a quarter of a million dollars.

The choice is theirs.

It's the ultimate test of good versus greed.

The players start as winners.

The cast is super diverse.

They come from all different walks of life.

So, it's a great wide set of people, all from different socioeconomic backgrounds, which obviously like makes it more interesting because some people might really need the money.

This might not be considered a lot of money to some of the people.

It sounds like a really great show.

I can't wait to watch The Trust, a game of greed, which is now streaming only on Netflix.

Yeah, that's right.

The show was called The Trust, a game of greed, and it is streaming now only on Netflix.

Today's episode is also brought to you by BetterHelp.

Around the new year, we can get obsessed with how to change ourselves instead of just expanding on what we're already doing right.

Maybe you finally organized one part of your space and you want to tackle another.

Maybe you're taking your supplements every morning and now you want to actually eat breakfast too.

Therapy can help you find your strengths so you can ditch the extreme resolutions and make changes that really stick.

So if you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.

The new year is always a great time to get into a good therapy groove if you've never tried therapy or if you're, you know, not been super committed to it.

New year, new you, great time of year, and BetterHelp is an amazing resource because it's done entirely online.

It's designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

Just fill out a brief questionnaire, get matched with a licensed therapist, and of course you can switch therapists at any time for no additional charge, which is what I think a lot of of people's favorite part of BetterHelp is, because one of the most awkward things about therapy, traditional therapy, is, you know, the awkwardness of it.

It's very common not to jive with the first therapist that you meet and then having to call and cancel and change can be so weird.

BetterHelp totally gets it.

Super easy to change.

It's very common.

It's not a big deal if the first person you're matched with doesn't, you know.

work out personality-wise.

They will help you change, switch therapists at any time for no charge.

You can also

talk to a therapist however you'd like, whether text, video chat, phone call, et So celebrate the progress you've already made and visit betterhelp.com slash toast to get 10% off your first month today.

Okay, our first story.

In order of no importance, I would say.

I would say these are five equally important stories.

Love.

And

equally unimportant.

Love.

John Mulaney and Olivia Munn make their red carpet debut after three years together.

So John Mulaney and Olivia Munn are red carpet official.

Finally, I had no idea that they weren't yet.

They literally had a child together.

I didn't know what, like, we were waiting for them.

No, they're like Juggy so polarizing.

It's insane.

We were waiting to check red carpet off the list, but they attended the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists' 14th Governor's Award in LA.

And they looked unreal.

For a first.

She looked gorgina vagina.

Yeah, by they, I mean she, because I don't look at the man she looked amazing no shook by that the hair love no the everything

i guess the dress could use esteem now that i'm i was really just looking at her there are people who's like this is their roman empire you know they were obsessed with john malaney and anna tenler like there are some people who can't even look at these two like it's so it runs so deep and while i you know respect that i'm not a part of that group of people like i don't care um

but it's really crazy how like they these two like hide out like they're considered so controversial.

It's so dumb.

I feel like once it's been a few years and you have a child, especially once you have a child, it's like Tabby LaRasa.

Yeah, no, I think a lot of people get really stuck on the fact that he was with Anna Marie Tendler for so many years and they never had a baby.

And then like the second he broke up with her, he had a baby with Olivia Munn like that day.

No, it's not, it's not like the best of human behavior.

No.

But it's what happened.

And I will say I've never had like a John Mulaney.

Right.

No, it's so common.

I've never been a John Mulaney fan.

I don't think I've actually ever even seen his comedy.

But once he became like public enemy number one, I found him to be a lot more interesting than like the guy who just everybody loved.

Like, who cares?

But once people started to hate him, I was like, oh, I think there might be more to this complex fella.

And I watched his special

called, I think it's called Baby J.

It's his most recent special.

Yeah, me too.

Where he talks about he had an insane addiction.

And he talks about, you know, going from being this, you know, Hollywood sweetheart who everybody loved, couldn't do anything wrong, to then becoming, you know, controversial public enemy number one.

So we actually had like a lot of interesting things to talk about.

And I thought it was an excellent special.

I found myself like cackling many times.

Highly recommend.

I watched it.

I don't remember feeling that way.

But I also, you recap the entire thing.

Like Ability is a prison.

Yeah, you would recap the entire thing before I watched it.

So there was like nothing new for me.

That's why I don't like that when you're trying to recap the crown today slash yesterday.

I just didn't want to hear your your POV because then it's like, why do I need to watch?

Because

I agree.

No, for sure.

So I'll just shut the fuck up is what you're saying.

I would say to hold off until I've caught up with you.

Shut the fuck up until further notice.

I got it.

Okay.

Anyways, they were looking great.

The crazy thing about Olivia Mun to me is Aaron Rodgers.

Yeah.

And

by the way, the craziest thing about Olivia Mun to me

is Wag.

Oh, and not in the Aaron Rodgers way.

Yeah, no, she was a wag who was a co-owner.

No, wag.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, not being like a wife and girlfriend of professional athletes.

She was like one of the founders of that dog walking app, Wag.

And she was like in all the commercials.

And it's like,

everyone was just like, is that Olivia Munn or someone who looks like her?

Literally, literally.

Also, the craziest thing about Olivia Munn to me is Aaron Rodgers.

And the craziest thing about Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers to me is like the Rodgers family feud.

And the the craziest thing is that Jordan Rodgers and Jojo Fletcher are related to Aaron Rodgers.

And they're all on TV every single day and they don't talk to each other.

Every day?

They're always hosting something.

Okay.

They host like couple shows and home shows and yeah.

The craziest thing.

And he's on SEC Sports.

Okay, that was like a while ago.

I don't know if he's still on.

I feel like he's.

The craziest thing about Olivia Munn is that her and Aaron Rodgers like didn't make it, but JoJo and Jordan did.

You know, and I feel like at the time, it was like Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers were together for so long.

They were this like it couple in Hollywood.

And they, Jordan and Jojo, I feel like they like look down on as like this like trash reality TV show.

And it's like all for money and fame and greed.

And now they're like happily married and Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers like are not.

Yeah.

Margot was saying the other day that the Rodgers family feud is her Roman Empire.

That's a really good one.

It's a really good one.

Like what the fuck happened that these people cannot talk?

No, but like, the whole family does talk, except not to Aaron.

I know.

What happened?

I don't know.

It's got to be big.

Yeah, but I have to say, if you're like the one person who's on the outs with your entire family, like your entire family still talks, but not to you.

And you don't talk to your entire family, you are the problem.

Like, whatever happened, you fucked up.

I agree, especially because from what we've seen of his family, like they're very loving and they're very close and they're like the Rogers boys.

There's another one, Luke.

Yeah, it's not like you're on the odds with your family, but the rest of the family doesn't get along either, and it's all kind of it's not like this toxic family where nobody talks to each other, yeah.

It seems very loving, and you know, homes,

home is where the heart is,

not homestead, home is where the heart is, it's so true, you know, like flannels, yeah, fireplaces who could forget flannels,

fireplaces, yeah, yeah, no, no,

but I get it, I get it,

Just like cozy family vibes.

No, I get it.

I get it.

Some of the best vibes out there.

Right, right.

No, I get it.

So anyways, they're red carpet official as if you needed that too.

And I'm happy.

No, by the way, I didn't know I needed that, but I did.

I agree.

It did seem good for me.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

A little casting news, which is some of my favorite kind of news.

Oh, yeah.

Selena Gomez will be playing Linda Ronstadt in a new biopic.

So Selena Gomez will play Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic.

Variety has confirmed.

The pop singer teased the role Tuesday night by posting a picture of Linda's 2013 memoir called Simple Dreams.

I know

the music biopic is currently in pre-production with producers including her manager, Linda's manager, who also

produced a documentary about her.

No other casting has been announced.

I mean, Selena Gomez, like Loki, is like an actress.

She's like known as a pop star, but like she's literally an actress.

That's what I was going to say.

I think one of the things, Selena Gomez does many things, some better than others.

And I think one thing that she does best of all is act.

I think she's a very good actress.

She's very good in Only Murders in the building.

Woody Allen like loves her because she's a very good actress.

And I think not only is she talented enough, but they do look alike.

And people have said that they look alike.

They are also both of Mexican descent.

I think this is an absolutely perfect casting.

I agree.

And I like that she, like, I've never been like an enormous fan of her music.

And so I like that she's clearly, for the time being, focusing on acting, Only Murders, Golden Globe, Emmy nominated.

And I think that this is a great next move for her because Only Murders in the Building, while it's like a Hulu show, whatever, it's very prestigious.

Like it's not like just being on any TV show.

Oh, she's at the Golden Globes.

She's not only that, but like Martin Short and Steve Martin, like two of the greatest comedians, literally of our time, Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd.

It's not just any TV show.

So it's like her being on like the most elite.

It's like what probably, I think it's in the last like 10 years, the most critically, like the highest critically rated show in terms of like ratings and stuff.

So it's, it's really supreme.

And so her doing a movie next and having it be like a musical one is very smart.

I think this is actually very good management and like decision making on Selena Gomez's behalf.

I agree.

What does Linda Ronstadt sing?

She sings Heart Like a Wheel and Simple Dreams.

Those were her albums.

I don't know them.

I like her name rolls off the tongue, tongue, Linda Reinstadt, but I couldn't really tell you who she is.

She also sounds Jewish.

Okay, here's her like number song.

Hold on, here's your number one song.

I know the year that's showing.

Oh, it's a duet.

Okay, not for me.

And I don't, and I don't know it.

So, Bahat's Lacha, Selena.

Bahadz Lacha.

Good luck.

It's, I think it could be very, very good.

No notes on this casting.

Yeah, I think it's a good call.

I do, like, I don't know Linda Ronstapp, but I mentioned this is like very interesting to a lot of people, like, who either grew up with her or who are fans of her music.

Because I, I love when a celebrity is being depicted in a film and like the casting begins.

Like, how long did we talk about Elvis?

Yeah.

And then we had Freddie Mercury and we had Elton John.

Like, I love movies like that.

Yep.

Yep.

Are you ready for our next story, speaking of actors?

I think, yeah.

A new report says that cruel and manipulative Matthew Perry lied about his sobriety before his death, his pals say.

Okay, literally today, like five stories came out, like slanderous against Matthew Perry.

Yeah, Matthew Perry alleged she was clean and sober for 19 months leading up to his shocking death.

However, a new report claims that this wasn't the case.

The friend star who shot to global fame after landing the role of Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom was found unresponsive in a hot tub in L.A.

at his home on October 28th.

Friends who saw the actor near the end of his life insist that Matthew, who spoke openly about his lifelong struggles with addiction, was sober and in a good place.

However, three sources tell Us Weekly that's not true.

They said Matthew's talk about being sober while promoting his 2022 memoir was a lie, they said in a report published Wednesday.

He wanted to sell books.

Everything was crafted and manipulated.

The truth wasn't important.

The source also told the outlet, apparently he crashed his Aston Martin many times while high, noting that the alleged accidents happened during a time that Perry claimed to be sober.

He just damaged the car and no one was hurt, but he did not consider that he could have killed someone.

The source alleged that Perry would use the celeb dating app Raya to meet young women who would bring him drugs.

He would do the FaceTime.

Yeah, they said he would do the FaceTime thing and get to know them.

Then it would be like, let's hang out.

And he would say, to come to his house.

He wasn't out in public anymore.

That's how he snuck things past people.

Addicts are smart.

And Matthew was brilliant.

As previously reported, an autopsy determined that Matthew died from acute effects of ketamine while with contributing factors listed as drowning, coronary artery disease, and few pranorphine effects.

The thing is, like, I just read Matthew Perry's book, and like, I feel like he would

cite examples where he lied about being sober for like many long periods of time and for different like work commitments and stuff.

So if when he was promoting this book, he wasn't sober, like I don't think that's necessarily like

incongruous.

Yeah, or like duplicitous of him.

Like he made it abundantly clear in the book.

Like he knows how to get sober.

He doesn't know how to stay sober.

Like he knows exactly what to do when it's time to detox in the most like painless, you know, for the most part way.

It's a lifelong struggle for him.

He's never really going to figure it out.

So like if he had slipped, I don't know.

To me, that doesn't like undo everything everything he said in the book.

I actually, I feel like it's like a more authentic,

it makes, it makes everything in his book feel even more

relevant.

Yeah.

Also, regarding the ketamine, I think a lot of people were confused because ketamine infusions are used to treat depression and drug addiction.

However, the medical examiner had noted that the amount found in his system could not have been from his final infusion treatment a week and a half before his death.

Ketamine's half-life is only three to four hours and the amount found in his system was equivalent to the general anesthesia given to surgical patients.

So it was an abuse of ketamine, likely.

And

it's possible like he didn't take enough to like kill himself, but because he was in a hot tub, he'd drown.

Right, right.

And so compounded, it was fatal for him.

And so, yes, this is

different from the Matthew that we thought he was at the end of his life.

But like, no, Jackie, if you read the book, it's not like he said, like, I'm sober now for life.

Like, it's literally a day-by-day thing.

Yeah

I don't know, but he's past now.

It just no to come out and like posthumously like be a source to us weekly like you're fucking disgusting.

Yeah, it just feels like icky to

hear like these personal details about him when he's past like

Let him rest.

That's the point.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I didn't like this at all.

Especially I feel like fiercely defensive of Matthew Perry ever since I read his book.

Like it was so good.

Reading someone's book will do that to you.

Oh my God.

Do you you know how many times literally last night i referenced josh peck's book because it was like so full of just goodness like really i i find it relevant to bring up in so many different conversations if i'm talking about child actors josh peck if i'm talking about weight josh peck if i'm talking about drug addiction josh peck if i'm like literally anything i it's one of the best books i literally need to read it like next oh and he's like funny too no i know i i like it was on my want to read but then it just kind of got pushed down but like i'm gonna read that this month i'm gonna put it back at the top of my list.

No, that's like, exactly.

He was raised by a single mom.

He was raised by a single mom, and like, she's really a main character.

And I had read around the same time that I read Jeanette McCurdy's book, which, you know, they're so similar, child actors from Nickelodeon.

But she was really, like,

put out by her mother and really used by her mother.

And then after her book, I read Josh's and Josh just loved his mom so much.

And she would have done anything for him.

And all he, it was like, the acting was so his idea.

Like, he begged his mom and she dragged him around town like it was just the so so the opposite of jeanette mccurdy and he like the way he wrote about his mom was just so

it was you're gonna love it i seriously can't wait i might start that tonight oh nope i have to add it the redheads oh damn well passion strikes again passion strikes again but maybe tonight as in thursday night because it's thursday oh loophole i like what you did there Okay, are you ready for our next story?

No.

I didn't think you were.

You really didn't look ready.

I didn't want to say anything, but.

That's so rude.

Our next story is that Robert De Niro thought his name was called at the Golden Globes when Robert Downey Jr.

won.

Oh no.

Yep.

Robert De Niro's

ears definitely perked up when he heard his name first announced as the winner of the 2024 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a motion picture.

A second later, however, it was Robert Downey Jr.

making his way to the stage, but such are the risks of being an actor named Robert who starred in one of the most acclaimed films of the year.

Thanksgiving album of the year goes to

random access memory, not red by Taylor Swift.

Oh, I didn't know that was.

Have you ever seen that video?

Oh my God.

Okay, she was nominated for album of the year for red, and they have all the faces on...

of the nominees like up in little squares and they say in the album of the year goes to and the person really really like lingered on the r

and her you see her in the box and her whole team they're like oh and

random access memory you have to watch it it's so awkward that is very awkward and it's crazy that those things even happened to robert de niro

no but it actually makes sense i i didn't i i didn't put together that robert de nero and robert downey jr had the same first name even as i just said it right now like it didn't compute Yeah, and it's Robert D.

Oh, so true.

This is two days in a row talking about Robert De Niro.

Actually, three days, because I think

on Monday or Tuesday, we talked about the joke that

we had.

Yeah.

And then Wednesday, yeah, we talked about him at Jennifer Lawrence's wedding.

This is our Robert De Niro streak.

Do you think we should keep it going?

Like, try and bring him up on Friday.

I think so.

What's your favorite Robert De Niro movie?

And why is it the intern?

Oh, it's the intern.

No, I know.

The intern is the most amazing movie.

I completely agree.

And I want to say the folks.

Is similar, the same but different.

The internship.

I knew you were going to say that.

The intern is better.

I'm sorry.

I love them both so much.

Like, equally but differently.

And I'm just so grateful for movies made about interns.

No, I completely, by the way, should we hire an intern?

And like film it?

And follow him or her around and call it the intern.

Yeah, no, the intern with Robert Je Niro and Ann Hathaway like is the best movie movie of all time.

And I want to thank the folks at E for always having it as like their movie of the day.

Like, it's on cable 45 times a week.

It's the best.

It's so amazing.

Of course, Nancy Meyers slays.

Oh, my God.

That's such an underrated Nancy Myers movie because it's like so not her vibe.

And there's no like central home where everyone's congregating.

Yes, there is.

It's Anne Hathaway's townhouse, but it's like not even chic.

No, but it's not home and hearth over there.

It's very like my husband's cheating.

No, she doesn't cheat.

My husband's cheating.

Yeah, no i actually like

i don't like that as for nancy myers like it's a good movie i like the movie but like i don't like it for nancy myers

yeah

she could do better you know no but it's really good the movie's amazing

so

robert de niro has the same name as robert downey jr and that was confusing for him and i understand why it would be Yeah, do you think like he cares?

Like, do you think he got really excited that he was about to win a golden globe?

Like, or no?

I don't think so.

Like, at that point.

But it's worth noting that he's been nominated 10 times and only won once in 1981.

So it's been 30 years.

Wait, I read something today.

I saw it on a TikTok.

Apparently, like, there's like big drama with Bradley Cooper.

That's it.

And Killian Murphy.

Killian is Oppenheimer.

So apparently, like...

Bradley Cooper has been nominated for a Golden Globe like 30 times and has never won.

And

this movie, Maestro, is like this big passion project of his.

He's been working on it for six years and like, and he's like wanting to make it like his big moment, his big thing.

Like he wants to win all the awards.

It's like, this is really important to him.

And he did that variety actors and actors

thing with Emma Stone and talked about like, you know, he really respected how, you know, long she worked on the role and he and he worked on his role and he like made a little slight towards Killian Murphy, who I believe

did not spend like a lot of time prepping for Oppenheimer in the sense that he didn't have have the role booked for six years before he actually got to work, you know?

Mm-hmm.

So apparently they like have this beef, according to this dumb TikTok that I read.

And when the best actor in a drama category came, obviously they both were nominated and Killian won.

And like that, it was like even more layered that Killian won.

But I feel like Killian doesn't even care.

And like Bradley's fighting with himself.

No, that's exactly.

what I'm feeling like.

Like, okay, Bradley, Killian doesn't even care.

Go off Killian.

Like,

he's not talking about you.

Killian's like, you know, lions don't lose sleep over the whatever of sheep.

Opinions of sheep.

Right.

And trash talk of sheep.

And subtle.

Wearing big prosthetic noses.

Yeah.

But I think the big one is the Oscar.

So let's see what happens there.

But like, I don't know much, but I know that no one's talking about Bradley Cooper's movie Maestro.

Like, nobody cares.

Not a soul.

And I have to wonder why.

Yeah, what platform is it on?

Netflix?

It's not in the theaters.

I don't know, but there was like no big marketing thing.

It was on Netflix.

That's a good point because we were just looking it up.

Like, the only thing I really heard about the movie was the nose drama, which wasn't overwhelmingly positive for him.

So, like, I didn't feel like there was like a coordinated marketing campaign.

I don't see like buses or billboards.

Like,

no one's talking about it because they gave us nothing to talk about.

Yeah, it's on Netflix.

Yeah.

I'm good.

No, I'm definitely good.

Yeah, no, if I was like really wanting stuff to watch, maybe I would find want to watch it.

But I've my plate is full.

My cup runneth over.

She can't even get two episodes of Redheads down a month.

Like, what do you guys expect?

Right.

I haven't watched The Crown.

I haven't watched Southern Charm.

I haven't watched Salt Lake City.

I haven't watched Beverly Hills.

Like, my show is all the way down there.

I haven't watched Brother Hill.

I'm going to have to take a bag of timer.

Yeah.

I haven't watched Matilda the Musical.

Like, that's insane.

Oh, that's disgusting of you.

Disgusting.

Like, when I saw the trailer for it, I was so excited.

And I don't even know if it's, I don't know anything about it.

Like, did it make waves here in the States?

No, it didn't, but it looks so freaking cute.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I have my priorities in order.

That you do.

That you do.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Yes.

About our queen, Amy Schumer, unveiling a topless selfie with an extra 40 pounds, she says.

Amy Schumer is feeling pretty at all sizes.

The comedian shared a topless photo celebrating her body on January 7th, posting the partially nude mirror selfie on her instagram story showed amy smiling while raising her hand in the air she posed in front of the glass walls of her shower she said still got it and then underneath she wrote that 40 extra pounds i just want to say like she's funny like this is a funny thing to do and i know she's like poking fun at her weight but i actually thought she looked like bomb in the photo like really tight and right like i didn't even see good yeah cellulite like tight and right yeah tight and right and i'm sorry like every time i like go to amy Schumer's social media or like I watch something that she did like, I'm sorry, she's funny.

I feel like people rail on her a lot.

She's funny.

She is funny.

I feel like she suffered from like overexposure and she was she got so big so fast because she was really so funny.

Like you know, there's no bigger Amy Schumer fan on the planet than Dana.

And it is actually one of my career goals in addition to doing a second episode of The Redheads a Month to meet Amy Schumer like on a professional level as like a

peer in a way and tell her that that that little girl that she sees at all of her shows is my best friend and she's very normal.

Yeah, for sure.

But you're right.

Like her career trajectory was so unorthodox.

Like she shot to a level of fame so fast that female comedians just like don't get it.

And she was kind of like a Matt Rife in a sense.

But once, you know, she got shown.

her work got shown to like a mass audience people were like wow she really is funny and she got even bigger matt rife's having like the opposite effect like he got this big netflix special and like people aren't into it um

and then it was like, bus, club, another club, bus, Madison Square Garden, selling out arenas, movie, movie, movie.

And I think it got to be by the time she did that movie with Goldie Hahn,

she should have stopped right before that.

Yeah, yeah, just because you do a lot of things, like the quality isn't always there, but you know, the studio wants you, and so I think it's been up and down.

But at her core, she's an extremely funny person.

Like, Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty are two of the funniest movies of our time.

I feel.

You know, I literally can't talk about the movie I Feel Pretty.

Like, it's literally my life.

Yeah, it is.

Like, I, I had never, and I feel like I've said this on the toes now, like, three or four times.

I have never walked into a movie and like seen my life on screen.

Like, it was crazy.

And I remember going with Margo and she, like, didn't get it.

I'm like, oh my God, you suck.

Like, cause she just doesn't have like these problems that I have.

And she was like, no, it was like funny and cute, but like, she didn't walk out like emphatic like me.

Yeah.

That movie was fucking brilliant.

It doesn't get us as much credit as

Train Records Train Rec was so good.

But I'm sorry.

I feel pretty like

is amazing.

It is amazing.

And we should add it.

That's a good for the content list.

Yes.

Even though.

It's a feel-good film.

It's funny.

The content list is dead in the water.

Right, right.

Because we referenced it once on our trip.

Yeah.

But that's a good family movie for, you know, mature adults.

Yeah, it's also just like, it's got a great message.

It has a great message.

No, and like when Amy hits her head and then like enters this dystopian, utopian universe, that's how I live my life.

Like, it's just, it's so good.

Yeah.

Anyways, uh, also note about her selfie is that her bathroom is gorgeous.

Yes, yes.

Amy lives on the Upper West Side, I believe.

Um, and Kim is Kim Kardashian went to her apartment on

yes.

Amy Schumer is also extremely rich.

And

I'm happy for her.

And I assume that means she has nice things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like the style.

It's very big.

And she has a todo.

Ooh.

Looks like a claw foot tub and a towel drying rack.

Ooh.

She uses cetaphil.

I saw the cetaphil.

I saw the cetaphil, which is so Amy Schumer.

Yeah.

No, it was just

very cute.

So that is our show

for Thursday.

For today.

For today, my favorite day, which is Thursday.

And tomorrow.

Tomorrow being Friday's episode is going to be the same as this, you know?

A little audio only might be out later in the day because I'm going to be on like a different Mexican time zone.

I actually don't even know what time it's going to be.

So it's going to be weird.

So stay tuned for that.

We love you all so much.
