And That's The Tea: Friday, October 13th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday.

Hope everybody is having a great day as we head into the weekend.

Hello, Jacqueline.

Jacqueline Folet.

Jacqueline Folet, how are you?

Hi, Claudia.

I am okay at this very moment because right before

we

started recording just now, I was happened upon our talk shop live live stream from Wednesday night.

I never like thought about it again after we recorded it.

And so I just started to watch a few minutes just to see like what the fuck did we do on there?

It's all haze.

Per usual.

It was so buoying and cute.

And then I went right from that to start recording with you.

So it kind of put me in a better mood than I would have been in.

Okay, that's good.

That's good.

This episode is podcast only.

Jackie and I are both not in the studio today.

So if you're looking for the YouTube video,

you'll be looking for a while.

You'll You'll be looking till Monday.

You'll be looking till Monday.

And we are going to just, you know, dive in, do the sturries, do our best to remain buoying forces in this ever chaotic and disappointing world.

Yes, but it is more important than ever that we have things in which to buoy us.

What's buoying you like in the last 24 hours?

That's a great question.

That's a great question.

I haven't haven't really gotten into any watching anything, maybe because I'm not like at home with my TV, so it would just be a production to have to turn something on.

So I haven't watched anything other than my phone.

But I look forward to, actually, one of our stories today is a piece of content that I hope to find buoying.

It's a new show coming out.

Okay, do you want to

no, I don't want to.

Nope.

Because then we'll talk about it.

Because we both are going to feel strongly about it.

And like, I just want to save it for the stories.

Because the stories need, like, all the meat that they can get.

Got it.

Okay.

No, that's fair.

Like, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find topics to talk about.

Yeah, but

we did it.

We did it.

We did it.

What's buoying you?

Not much.

Yeah.

Not much.

You.

You.

Yeah.

You know, my people.

You are buoying me, Jax.

My people are buoying me.

And Turdy Lou is one of my peeps.

And what about Trudy Lou?

Always, of course.

She doesn't have that edge that Turdy has.

Yeah, so would you say Turdy greater than Trudy?

Yes, I would.

No offense to Trudy.

I've just known Turdy longer.

Yeah, no, that's fair.

Would you say that?

Definitely.

I don't really associate myself with Trudy.

I really don't.

I don't know her.

I don't feel like I didn't.

I don't identify with her.

No.

She's kind of like a case of mistaken identity.

Yeah, no, and like Turdy becomes me.

Trudy, like, tried.

Trudy was trying too hard.

Do you know what I mean?

Sad for Trudy.

Sad for Trudy Lou, but not sad for Turdy Lou.

No, Turdy kills it.

Without question.

Without question.

So we're here to buoy you into the weekend.

I hope, you know, everyone has some lovely weekend plans to buoy themselves.

I look forward to the weekend.

This has obviously been an incredibly hard week

period.

A lot going on.

So just, you know, also working through it, like, you know, doing the show and all of that, like, it's just a lot.

So I'm looking forward to like a few days off to just reflect and not have to talk all the time.

Agreed.

Like, I think,

like you said, processing what happened to like our people is, is honestly like a form of trauma.

And then having to like talk through those feelings publicly is very scary because,

you know, it's like a vulnerable thing.

And then, of course, then you have everyone giving their thoughts on your thoughts.

Like, I don't care.

I'm just experiencing, I'm experiencing my own thing right now.

Right.

Like, we're all just doing our best.

So, like, any sort of commentary, I'm not interested in, but it is the job.

And I do feel like, like you said, like, it's an important role.

Um,

But I'd be lying if I didn't say like it was extremely challenging to get up and do the show every day this week.

Like every day was harder than the next.

Yeah, and every day was like a different range of emotions.

But I did feel like throughout the week, I felt more.

determined to do it when I saw, you know, how much positive feedback we were getting from people who like really needed episodes that...

that could wade into lightheartedness, but also acknowledge what happened.

Like, I feel proud of what we're doing.

But we're also, we're just human, you know, and we're doing our best.

And the thing is, I think people forget, as much as like we, our show is amazing and we crush it, like, we're not trained journalists, like, we're not professionals, like, we're just like girls.

Like, we're just girls.

We're just girls who are just trying our best and our best fucking rocks.

I completely agree.

We don't have like, you know, sent like the training for, you know, on-the-ground reporting, like this sort of thing.

We're just emo girls.

Yeah, no, we're just girls like who are deeply,

deeply proud of our heritage.

And

our heritage is the exact, and like our people are the exact thing that's like being, it's like up for debate right now.

Yeah.

And it's been, it's been traumatizing.

Like seriously, like having to explain and defend myself.

But unfortunately, it's also like extremely important because it's it's not registering for a lot of people.

No, and for us it's like the only thing that matters whether or not our people have a right to exist.

Like right.

Everything else sort of falls by the wayside.

Literally everything else falls by the wayside.

And if it weren't for just like this insane determination to

get involved and speak on behalf of the people who can't speak on behalf of themselves, then like we wouldn't be doing the show this week.

I would have taken this week off.

But that's not an option.

No, it's not an option.

And when you think about it, it's like, no, we have to go on.

We have to live.

Like life can't stop.

That's exactly what they want.

Like we have to forge ahead no matter how hard it is.

But you put one foot in front of the other, in the words of Princess Anna, do the next right thing.

Yeah,

I like that.

Do the next right thing.

It's a song.

You should listen to it.

Lee's frozen from Frozen 2.

I never, I never fucked with Frozen 2.

Frozen 2, less than Frozen 1.

Is there a 2 of anything that's better than 1, in your opinion?

Yes, we have this conversation all the time.

I need to start a list.

You need to start a list.

There are some twos that are better than ones.

Two is better than one.

That album, that Boys Like Girls album, I don't know if they ever released like another work of art besides that one album because I only know that one.

And it's like that black cover

where like, you know, what was that song?

I used to love junk, but now I'm hungover.

That album carried me for a great period of my life.

It buoyed you?

It buoyed me.

I need to see what other songs were on that album.

I need to go to thesaurus.com for the word buoy.

Oh my god.

Okay, so I was talking to my friend Abe.

And by the way,

most of the people in my life who are, you know, I've known for a really long time, like, listen to the toast intermittently.

But so many of them have been like, I've listened to every single episode this week.

Like, I just needed it.

And I was talking to my friend Abe yesterday about buoying.

And he was like, by the way, I meant to tell you, and he wasn't being like condescending.

He's just like much smarter than me.

He was like, when you were asking Jackie for like a definition of buoying, you said, oh, like tethered.

And he's like, tethering is like an antonym for buoying is afloat and tethered is like as an anchor.

Right.

Like similar concept, but complete antonym.

No, but also, I was thinking about it more after we had that conversation on the show and like you need to be buoyed when you're drowning.

Yes, yes, yes.

And we're drowning.

Yeah.

But when you're on land, like we all, you know, gravity, we're two feet on the ground.

Yeah.

So you actually need to be tethered when you're like, you know,

when you're high up, like when you've lost a grip with reality, right, right.

But it's, yes, they are kind of antonyms, but you weren't saying they were the same word.

You were saying, I know what you were saying.

He just doesn't know me like I know you.

No, he doesn't know me like you know me.

He doesn't know Turdi's brain.

Also, just like a you go?

Buoy

It means to make light or encourage.

So I'm trying to see.

Other words would be like support, raise, prop.

Honestly,

booi is the right word.

Yeah.

Could it be an uglier word?

Booy?

No, and like the way it's spelled.

Boing?

Buoyai.

Yeah, like booi.

Buoy.

Yeah, booi.

The person who invented the word buoy did not know how much we were about to use it on the show.

No, and how much weight it would carry for the Jewish people.

Yeah.

I'd like to shake his hand or her.

Him, probably.

Yeah.

Probably wasn't a long time ago, the word, right around the time of the Tower of Babel.

No, and like it's a very maritime-esque word.

And I just feel like back then, even now, it's a male-dominated industry, but certainly back then.

Sailing is for the men.

100%.

We've all read It Happened One Summer.

Oh my God.

It's actually crazy how I don't think of fishing or boats or like

the ocean without thinking of that insane pornographic book.

Like it's insane.

Like the imprint, it left an indelible mark on me.

It imprinted on you.

It imprinted on me.

It's insane.

Honestly same.

Honestly same.

It's like really the smuttiest book I ever read.

And like I'm like good with that being like my, you know, I don't need, nothing's ever going to top it.

I'm always going to compare it to that.

And like, so every other smut book sucks.

Okay.

And by the way That was my intro to smut and you recommended it to me and you didn't even say I wasn't sure I didn't know smut from anything you were like it's a romance book like it's cute.

They were like it's a little raunchy

When I was reading this book and this man stuck his thumb up her ass I was like Jackie did not fucking read this like there's Claudia

diddly dally earth that Jackie I'm like I literally bought the wrong book on Kindle Claudia I told you so many times and I think I use the word spicy or porny that was before like I really knew smut.

Jackie, that was the first, it's a gateway drug because every person.

It's a gateway drug.

Every single person, I won't say their names because they deserve their privacy, but like people we all know, like public figures, I'm like the smut girl.

And so whether it's for their book club or they just like want to get into smut or they're like taking, you know, like a honeymoon or something, they're like, give me smut recommendations.

I'm new to the craft.

And I have like a list and stuff and stuff.

And I always, always, always give them.

It happened one summer.

I said, this is a gateway drug.

Come to mommy when you're finished and I'll give you your next

feeding, okay?

Your next dose.

No, and they're right.

They're like, this is the best book ever.

No, it's seriously such a good book.

It needs to be made into a movie.

And if you guys are looking for some sort of like smut breakdown, I actually did one.

It was human.

I did one on the Patreon.

It's like a 30-minute long video and podcast episode where I go through every smut book I've ever read, give you like my absolute must-reads.

I give grades in terms of like plot, grades in terms of grades in terms of like spice.

Um, so there's like a full breakdown.

Honestly, like, I did that for the girls.

Like, that episode now lives forever, and we can always go back and reference it.

Yeah, that's so funny.

That's honestly a great episode.

No, and when I was recording it, like, I was deeply ashamed.

Like, you do it for the girlies.

It was just like, it was awkward.

Um,

yeah, I could see it going that way.

So, I think it's time.

You know, it's Friday.

I want to get you guys on your way.

Yeah.

And I feel like without further ado.

Yes, before you do, just a reminder to everyone, mostly, you know, anyone listening, particularly our Jewish listeners, to be extra, just cautious and vigilant this weekend.

You never know.

I don't want to like fear monger, but you know, people are talking about

the mongerers are fearing folds.

And I just think we could, nobody, nobody ever regretted being extra cautious.

Yes.

But also live your life, live it well, live it proudly.

That's, Jackie, that's beautiful.

What can I say except yadagly?

So our first story is our only like really war story officially.

You never know where combos are going to take us, but 700 notable Hollywood figures sign an open letter in support of Israel.

So Jackie, what?

Did you read all the names on the list?

I did.

Well, not all of them, because a lot of them are like behind the scenes people.

One of them is your sister.

Claudia Ashray?

Yeah, I wasn't included on any of like them.

You're not in the headlines.

No, and they're like, click this link to see all the other 700, the losers, the 675 losers.

That's me.

Your girl is there.

But yeah, I was left out.

Not to make, you know, the war in Israel about me,

but I was left off the list of Hollywood elites.

Well, that's so interesting because I saw that there was this letter and I really wanted to see everyone who was on it.

But then I kept seeing these articles written about it where they plucked out, you know, the famous people.

The need to know.

The need to know is there's not that many, but it's worth knowing who they are.

So Gal Godot, Jerry Seinfeld, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Chris Pine are among the signees who condemned the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas's attack, saying this is terrorism, this is is evil, very unequivocally standing with Israel.

Maeem Bialik also signed Liav

Schreiber, Amy Schumer, and Michael Douglas.

You know, the usuals.

No, there's like not, there's two surprising people on this list, and there should be way more.

The first is Chris Pine.

That's my king right there.

Like anything he needs, I'll be there for him.

What are you doing?

And he just like busted out of the Chris list because now he's like the good Chris.

He's different than all of the Chris's.

And the other, who wasn't plucked from from the headline, but you know, I was like so nosy, I went and read the whole list.

Bella Thorne.

Oh my God.

I saw Bella Thorne's Instagram yesterday.

I followed her yesterday.

Girly is crushing it.

Yeah, I was surprised.

I feel like if you don't really want to make a statement on social media, which you know, is understandable.

I feel like signing this letter amongst like a bunch of your peers is actually like a pretty good way to take a stand without, I guess, opening yourself up to backlash.

Yeah.

And so I was surprised that more people didn't

use this as like a almost like a like look I'm here.

Thank you.

Yeah yeah yeah like check the box.

Yeah.

Because not everyone needs to post everything on social media as we discussed.

There are a lot of celebrities who like I don't I don't even know if they have Instagram.

Like Adam Sandler we were saying.

So yeah, this is a good way to you know

get in the game.

Get in the game without mucking up your highly curated social media feed that's run by an agency and you don't even have the password to.

Right.

So I was surprised it wasn't more fabulous.

Yeah.

So here are some other names that we know.

Deborah Messing.

There's a lot of like big-time directors, producers who's named behind the scenes, people who we don't know.

But there are other notable names.

Deborah Messing.

Yes.

Ryan Murphree.

Yes.

Zachary Levi.

Shazam.

Shazam.

The thing is, Zachary Levi and Zachary Quinto are the same exact people to me.

And they're both industry plans.

Wait, I just found out something crazy.

Hmm.

Shit, I need to remember it.

Hold on.

Okay, so should I hold off on continuing?

Yes, because I've.

Hold on.

No, maybe it's not Zachary Levi.

Hold on.

Maybe it's Zachary Quinto.

Wait,

I found something out.

And I can't remember.

I feel like it was one of the Zachary's had like a like another famous person as their sister.

Like it was quite, was it maybe it was Quinto?

Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

No, it wasn't Quinto.

It wasn't Quinto.

Okay, I think maybe.

Yes.

Oh, no, no, no.

Okay, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Let me know when you're done.

I'm done.

Brain talks.

By the way, does anybody else, like, did anybody else find something out?

Like, Hollywood sibling related recently with a man named Zachary?

Or does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

I found it out and I was like, no way.

No.

Maybe a sibling, but not a Zachary.

Okay.

I feel like I was on the phone with you when I found it out.

I feel like we're not going to be able to.

Yeah, no, I have no details.

No details.

I have no details to like find out.

We're not getting warmer.

No, like we're never going to find out what I'm thinking.

No, we will in a few weeks.

No, I don't even, I think, like, seriously, it's one of those things that entered my brain, never to return again.

Okay, let me continue.

Yes, sir.

Deborah Messing, Ryan Murphy, Zachary Levi, Sharon Osborne,

George Lopez.

Who's going to clean your toilet, Donald Trump?

Claudia, that's buoying me.

I watched that video last night.

I made Zach watch it last night because I was rolling around on the bed when you sent me this meme of Kelly Osborne on the golden toilet.

I was raffle mowing.

Raffle mowing.

And Zach like didn't

know what I was talking about.

So I was like, okay, you have to watch this clip and then you have to look at this accompanying meme.

By the way, the okay, so I watched the clip again last night.

And the craziest thing about the clip is right before Kelly says that thing, Rosie Perez is saying how just like racist remarks are not helpful to the rhetoric, like at all.

And Kelly's like, I agree.

And think about this.

Who's going to clean your toilet?

Like says the most fucking racist thing right after Rosie Perez was like racist and like, you know, outlandish remarks like are not moving the needle here.

Yeah.

And you just could tell like Kelly like had that zinger in her head.

So she probably wasn't even listening to the comment before because she was waiting to say her thing.

And when she said it, like, it's like mug drop, like,

and then she's like, Oh, no, oh no, instead, it's like crickets.

She said, No, like that, come on.

Like, how else could somebody receive that?

Like, it was insane.

Honestly, that clip can and should be studied by a team of experts.

It's

human nature at its worst.

Oh, my goodness.

Continuing the list: Diane Warren,

Howie Mandel,

Julia Nettleman.

And then everyone else I don't know.

So they're like behind the scenes peeps.

And Claudia Oshray.

Like,

I was on the list, I swear.

I believe that you were on the list.

Like, if you want to go and let me know.

Oh, here's the whole letter.

I made it to the whole letter.

I'm sure there are people on this list that I would actually find interesting.

It goes alphabetical at the end.

Sure, it does.

No, it does.

Like, I really should have led with my middle name because I'm all the way at the bottom with Australians.

Emmanuel Chicri.

She should have been in the headlines.

She should have been in the headlines.

Okay.

I can scan this later.

Anyways, so that was

the fake news.

But do you see me?

Oh, let me use the search bar.

Yep, comedian and podcast host.

Josh Peck.

There's Chris Pine.

Billy Porter.

Oh, by the way, why isn't he?

Why isn't he in the article?

Why isn't he in the article?

I just, TNN hasn't posted a statement, but I want everyone to know TNN stands firmly with Israel.

Yeah, I was worried, like, where does the network stand?

Yeah.

Just wanted to clear up that sort of scandal.

Okay, I'll let you know if I see anyone else, but we're going to move on from this.

Anyways, just thought that was interesting.

Thank you to these 700 people.

And I also think, like, if you don't know, like, what to do PR-wise, like, that would have been a good way to

mark yourself as safe from

what I'm saying.

From the toast.

From us.

We've become those people.

I really need to stop.

Like I do, but I can't.

Like I'm so in it.

It's just because we give these people so much time and energy on our show.

I feel like if we didn't do the show, like I don't know how to what degree I would care what celebrities are doing.

But like I just need to know like who we are going to continue to support if they don't support us like existing, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um,

our next story, just some tea from the Jay sisters.

Sophie Turner is

Sophie Turner unfollows Priyanka Chopra on Instagram amid her divorce with Joe Jonas.

So there's drama among the J sisters as Sophie has unfollowed Nick's wife Priyanka on Instagram amid her divorce from Joe.

However, she continues to follow Nick, Kevin, and his wife, uh, Danielle, as well as her estranged husband, Joe.

So this is tea.

This is like, I've been waiting to unfollow you.

Or this is like she's not liking how Priyanka is behaving

divorce.

Ooh.

Tea.

Hot.

In the words of Sophie Turner, and that's the tea.

And that's the.

I missed when she used to do that.

That was cute.

Yeah, it was.

I feel like.

This is a story like we would have started hearing about.

Like if there was beef between the Jay sisters, like longwithstanding, this is something that would have gotten leaked.

like that because that's so interesting like the two famous wives not if it wasn't ever a blow-up and more so like an undercurrent

you know maybe yeah if they had like a screaming match so one of the handlers would have leaked it right if they just never liked each other

they spend a lot of time together

Like on tour with the guys like they're like a tight-knit family

So it's shocking.

I had seen this headline, and I just assumed she unfollowed all of them.

So I was like, they're just making a thing out of Priyanka.

But no, to

single her out, I can't talk anymore.

To single her out, I need to know.

Yeah.

I don't know if we'll ever know, but

this is an interesting nugget.

It is.

And so do with that information what you will.

I will do with that information what I will.

Are you ready for our next story?

Some more sibling drama.

Mm-hmm.

Noah Cyrus is calling out her sister Miley for a shady interview saying the disrespect.

So Noah Cyrus posted a comment like on a TikTok video of Miley on Joe Rogan where Miley is talking about her little sis Noah and

Noah commented the disrespect in this video dot dot dot So the quip clip in question showed Miley chatting with Joe Rogan about her siblings on his show in September 2020

He asked Miley whether Noah's experience growing up in her shadow had deterred her from chasing a career in Hollywood.

And Miley said, you either go one way or the other.

And she noted that her sister wants that life in the spotlight.

She said, she's got a record out that I love called The End of Everything.

And it's the most depressing EP you'll ever listen to.

She's 20 years old.

She's emo.

She's like an emo kid.

And Joe asked if she was emo because she grew up on the road with Miley.

And Miley was like, Yeah, that's what it is.

She has a song where she's like, My sister's like sunshine.

It'll follow her wherever she goes, but I'm more like a rain cloud.

You know, she has this idea of Miley,

to which Joe commented that Noah should perhaps go to a doctor.

And Miley said she is.

We all go to the doctor a lot.

We have a doctor on salary.

Okay.

I feel like

I don't think this is the case, but I do think some could interpret that comment as like sister.

Like, I would leave a comment like that on Margot's TikTok, like the disrespect of this video.

But they're talking about like deeply like personal things of Noah when it's an interview for Miley.

But why comment on it three years later?

Maybe, I mean, those interviews are long.

I doubt she watched the whole thing.

You know?

But I feel like that would have been like a pull quote and a headline from the interview when it was released at the time.

I don't, I don't know.

I feel like a lot of people don't watch the whole thing.

And so the one person who watches it, they probably got a different, you know, headline.

And then every single news organization like writes the exact same story.

I could see how a comment like this could just like slide out under the radar.

Cause really there's nothing here.

She said she's an emo kid.

Her EP is depressing.

Like if you listen to her music, you know that.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's not like that was her aesthetic for a while.

I feel like it still is her aesthetic.

Maybe she's talking about Joe Rogan being disrespectful because he's saying like she needs to go to the doctor.

Oh, oh, oh, I guess you're right.

She's not pointing who is being disrespectful.

Like it could be Joe.

Yeah, because I didn't think Miley was being so disrespectful.

She said she has an amazing EP out.

It's just depressing.

But like, I feel like that's Noah's

vibe.

Like, that's not a shock to hear that.

But that's not like a negative thing to say, like a critique.

Yeah, that's just an obvious thing to say.

But I also agree.

Like, I could see you commenting this on someone's video.

I don't know if they're close enough that they like, you know, make barbs like that.

But

it could be a nothing burger or it could be a something burger.

But...

Context is important because Tish just got married to the guy from Prison Break.

Okay.

Miley was there.

Brandy was there.

I don't believe Noah was there.

Like, I think the family is experiencing some sort of bregis.

And this just kind of furthers my thoughts on that.

Yeah, in which case, that's just like not where you go with your anger towards your family.

Is the comment section on a TikTok?

No, you should never go there with anything, let alone like dirty laundry.

Yeah.

Do you think, like, when we were growing up, if I had been cast in Hannah Montana and like become this major major major super?

Well, I'm younger than you.

So I guess, okay, if you, if you had like gone on to become like a star of like a huge franchise, like how would that have impacted me?

I think I would have been like insanely jealous.

It depends on the person.

You would have been if you like wanted to get into the industry, but on the other hand, like you would have had a foot in the industry.

Think of like who I was as a kid, like attention seeking, loud, singing, dancing.

Like, yeah, I would have been jealous, like, filled with rage.

Yeah,

I don't think so.

Maybe jealous, but not filled with rage.

Like, you could be jealous of someone, or like, you know, yes, want that same thing that they have without being, like, bad, you know, while also being happy for them, yeah.

Yeah, but also, like, we're the type of family where it's like, oh, Jackie got a show, write a role for Claudia, Margo, and Olivia.

Right.

Her little sister wants to be an actress, too.

Like, I have to imagine if Noah was like really into it at the time.

They were bringing on everyone.

Like,

not a single person wasn't on an episode of Hannah Montana.

Right.

I feel like

she was involved in some way, but she was also really young.

Really young.

Because Miley was really young.

Yeah.

No, Miley's done everything for her.

Yeah, like, seriously.

Like, let's

get a grip.

Let's get a grip.

It's also really crazy, like, how famous.

Well, actually, is it crazy?

Think of Nepo babies who out-nepoed their parent.

You know, like Miley is more famous.

We weren't really alive for, like, Billy Ray Cyrus' peak, but I know he was a one-hit wonder.

It happens sometimes that the Nepo baby superstar.

Billy Bieber.

Yeah.

I would say Gwyneth Paltrow out-nepoed her mother.

Yeah.

Um.

But then there's Nepo, like, kids who aren't from, like, famous parents, but they're from, like, very well-connected, rich parents, which is different.

Like Jonah.

Gracie Ambrims.

Right.

No, but she, she'll never out Nepo JJ Abrams.

Like, he's.

I just saw a headline about them today in People magazine.

That's why she was top of mind.

She sings, right?

She does.

I actually saw a tweet about her that went viral because like

it was a list.

She submitted a bunch of her music and and from this year for different Grammys.

And so it was just a list like here's what Gracie Abrams put up for consideration.

And it was like her album, Album of the Year.

And it was just like, this is like, it was just a lot of her music in like enormous categories and people were tweeting like this is crazy

like i i i know one song i think part of me wants to walk away till you really listen and honestly i actually feel like she doesn't even sing that hold on

oh it is gracie abrams okay i was right I just feel like there's so many like young teeny bopper girls who look like Gracie Abrams and sing like Gracie Abrams like

McAlpine.

I know you don't don't know her but like she had and it's over and you're driving me home like tell me that's not Gracie Abrams no there are a lot of them right now but the cream will rise and and it will sort through itself soon Gracie Abrams core is a thing yeah but is it even Gracie who started it that's a great question I feel like it's not I feel like it was like Phoebe Bridgers it's like Olivia Rodrigo core no no it's not because these girls like don't make pop music it's like it's literally depressed girl.

Like, no siren scores?

No, she's emo.

This is different.

This is just like

poetic,

emotional, teenage, girly music that can only be listened to in the car.

You're literally describing Olivia Rodrigo, though she did transcend.

Poetic.

Like you pop your pussy to Olivia Rodrigo.

Yeah, but think of like driver's license.

That was just her.

Yes, driver's license was very Gracie Abrams coded.

Right, so I feel like she started it she's branched out but people are doing the driver's license bit wait and speaking like reading from their diaries and singing it do you know the song lacey on olivia rodrigo's album no

it's just about like a girl named lacey who like olivia rodrigo is so jealous of like i want to be lacey lacey oh lacey

have i told you lately you know what i mean like i'm just you're beautiful and i want to be you and i hate you and there's like a big conspiracy theory that Lacey is Gracie Abrams.

Gracie Lacey.

So there is.

No, there could be something there.

And then like Gracie Abrams was opening for Taylor and like, honestly, in another world, that should have been Olivia Rodrigo.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Claudia, while you've been reading the ads, I've been going through the list to see if there were any more notable names.

And I have a name for you you that's going to send you into another stratosphere.

Okay.

Should we do guess who?

No, you couldn't if you tried.

Okay.

Joyce Gerard.

No.

Yeah.

Sign the letter.

Iconic one season wonder.

Iconic one season Wiccan wonder.

No, that's not Wiccan.

That's Carlton Jebia.

Oh.

You're thinking of Joyce, who was...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think she was a pageant queen.

Yeah.

And Brandy did not get along.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I conflated her with Carlton because they came on for one season together and then they left.

I actually think Carlton was two seasons, but I agree.

They're the same era of housewife history.

Yes.

Also, Helen Mirin is on the list.

Queen?

Why wasn't she in the headline?

I don't know.

There's a few names that didn't make the headline that I think.

A.J.

McLean from the Backstreet Boys, Backstreet Boys greater than in sync.

By the way, Helen Mirren is not shocking.

Like if you're an active, like if you're like a Jewish person, you know Helen Mirin's a queen.

She just, she just played golda gold ameir in the movie golda gold ameyir who was the first female prime minister of israel um

i heard the movie was fab i haven't seen it and she's in women woman in gold she does like a lot of work to further jewish causes woman in gold i need to see that oh my god claudia you need to see it i know how have you not seen it Because like for a very long time, anything that was even remotely intellectually stimulating or historical was not my cup of tea, but I'm growing, Jackie.

I'm evolving.

I'm doing better.

You are.

You're obsessed now.

Obsessed.

Even though I have not been able to read what?

You know who signed the letter?

Who?

Eliza Schlissinger.

Okay.

She's Jewish.

No, I know, but that's just worth noting.

It is worth noting, like, when Jews do the bare minimum.

Yeah.

No, because we were hard on her about that Joe Rogan interview.

That was.

Oh, we were.

We didn't like, like, we thought that episode was cringe.

We didn't enjoy it.

But you know what?

That's my queen right there.

That's my queen right there.

Okay, let's get into our fifth and final story, which you're actually not going to care about, but me and a cult following.

That's kind of the theme of this week, like stories nobody cares about.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

That's not why you're not going to care.

You're not going to care because this is a show with a cult following that you're not a part of, but that I happened to watch when it was on and I happen to be re-watching.

Okay.

And that's community.

Yeah, no, never got into it.

Olivia's fucking obsessed.

She is?

Sorry, parenthood.

I get confused with like one-worded TV shows that are 30 minutes long.

No, so

community fans, they're mighty.

Community is actually going to be made into a movie.

Zach and I are re-watching Community right now.

It's like what we watch at night while we're waiting for

like Charlie to go to sleep for the night.

And it is so.

That's Joel McHale, right?

Joel McHale, yeah.

At the community college.

Yep.

We even started it once, like one episode.

And it wasn't for me.

Claudia, it's for you.

You absolutely need to watch it.

It's literally so funny.

Joel McHale, though, was on Mark Maron's WTF podcast, and he was weighing in on Chevy Chase's recent diss of community.

I'm sorry.

He was weighing in on whose?

Chevy Chase.

Chevy?

Yeah, his name's spelled Chevy.

It's Chevy.

Okay, well, Chevrolet has co-opted the name.

Chevy Chase.

I'm obsessed.

Don't make fun of me for pronunciations because I learned it by reading it.

No, and it's confusing.

Like, a Chevy is a car, so, but Chevy.

Right.

So, Chevy Chase recently like kind of slammed.

Sorry, I can't keep interrupting you.

Is Chevy Chase in the show?

Yes.

Oh, okay.

Caddyshack, Chevy Chase, icon.

He's a big part of the show.

It's well, it's an ensemble cast.

It's really Joe McHale's show, but everyone else is pretty equal.

He had a really like funny character role, but he actually said

that.

Community wasn't funny enough for him ultimately.

He said, I felt a little bit constrained.

Everybody had their bits and I thought they were all good.

It just wasn't hard-hitting enough for me.

When asked about his character, Millionaire Pierce Hawthorne, Chevy added, I didn't mind the character.

I just felt that it was, I was, I felt happier being alone.

I just didn't want to be surrounded by that table every day with those people.

It was too much.

So Joe McHale was just on WTF podcast and he was like, I mean, we weren't sentenced to that show.

It was like, all right, you could have left if you really wanted that.

Yeah.

And he said, the feelings mutual, but he stopped hurting my feelings in 2009.

Worth noting that Chevy Chase was fired for community for using a racial slur

in

what year was that?

Oh, my God, T.

Yeah, and Donald Glover, aka childish community now, we know got his start on community.

And he has spoken about Chevy Chase being, like, disrespectful and racist towards him.

Oh, my God.

Chevy Chase's character, Pierce Hawthorne, is like an old racist.

Yeah.

Maybe he was methacking.

Literally.

Oh, my God.

Wait, that's crazy.

If this show like was more popular, like people, like this would have been a bigger story.

I feel like it's probably just like within the

community.

Yes, but it has such a crazy following, the show community.

Like it's even coming back for a movie

on Peacock.

You gotta give it another chance.

Like I remember just me and Ben were like, maybe you were talking about it like years ago.

So we started it.

I was like, meh.

You've got to give it a few episodes because I don't remember like the beginning.

You got to let them like set the table.

But I have had some serious belly laughs since we've been re-watching it like i'm sorry the dean of the school his name is dean like it's so

it's so funny well i'm currently belly laughing to the nanny like i can't think about anything until i'm done with the nanny i didn't realize how many episodes of the nanny i'd actually never seen even though like you said that about suits or whatever you were watching you said we'll watch love island uk season five and you did i did say that well in my defense i never finished suits because we got so into the nanny and like suits everybody says like after season six it goes downhill but like my god after season six, does it go downhill?

I can't believe.

I felt like maybe I'm watching a show like at the time that maybe went on strike and they hired some like people off the street to write the show because it's the dumbest shit.

Like I'm in shock.

I'm like, okay, if anybody knows what I'm talking about, like the Donna, let me tell you this.

Me and Ben were talking about on an episode that he co-hosted with me.

So Donna is the red-headed secretary who like runs the firm.

Like she knows everything about everyone.

Yeah, yeah.

And this guy in like the IT department was like, I've been working on this project for years.

And Donna, it's time I finally show it to you.

And he created basically like an Alexa, but it's called The Donna.

And they're taking it to market because it's like this, it's the digital secretary that everyone in the law industry needs.

And they go to see investors.

And they're like, Donna's like going to quit the firm because like the Donna is taking off.

Me and Ben were looking at each other.

We're like, is this a spoof?

And it like spanned over a few episodes.

The Donna, the Donna.

Is Megan Markle still on the show?

Yeah, of course.

I think she, oh, does she leave at one point?

Because she, no, no, no.

Harry was after suits.

No, during suits.

It was at the very end.

It was at the very end.

I don't know.

Actually, I feel like she left, and then the show ended.

Well, I want to say, like, she's an amazing part of the show, but the show, like, isn't predicated on her.

If any, I don't know if there's anyone.

There's so many good characters.

I don't know if there's anyone who...

who if they left, the show would have had to end.

It's a true ensemble cast.

No, but I don't know if it ended because of her, but like, I think she left before it was over because she was on her way to being a princess.

Well

I don't know because I haven't gotten there.

Okay, keep me posted.

I probably won't because like I have no interest to go back to the show.

That's a good way to end a show.

Instead of being depressed that you finished all the episodes and it's over and like you go into like a show hangover, like instead let it just suck and you choose not to watch anymore because then it never ends.

Lost?

Like one of the most miserable experiences of my life was finishing lost.

That's like glee.

I don't think I ever watched last season.

And so like to me, it's

I never had to experience that sadness of it being over jackie 100 i have re-watched glee maybe three or four times and i watched it live when it was airing and i have never

ever seen the final season yeah every time i re-watch it you have the same cycle of like emotions like i'm kind of getting over this this show is stupid oh i forgot to keep watching yeah yeah it is good actually It's nice.

But it's also really nice when like a show ends perfectly, shit's creek.

Like you don't feel like drawn out, you miss it.

Like, that's it.

They always say it's like a privilege to be able to end your own show when there's still like a huge audience.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, well, those were the fast five stories.

I feel as though you didn't need to know them as you had to.

Next week, let's talk about next week.

Oh, yeah, turtle.

It's very much up in the air.

West Coast Turdy.

So, Monday's episode of next week

will be an audio only because I am traveling that day and I'm speaking on a panel too.

Tuesday,

I am recording with someone in Los Angeles.

Should I say who?

Like, it's confirmed.

Sure.

Jackie Schimmel.

She's never been on the toast, and I love her.

So exciting.

And honestly, it'll be a Jackson Claude.

Like, Jackson Claude.

No, and like, I think I'm like funny and mean and sharp, but like, she's going to blow me out of the water.

Like, I'm actually afraid.

Can't wait.

Wednesday is what I'm going to LA for.

So Jackie will be holding down the fort with an episode.

TBD with who?

I've got some things brewing.

Thursday, I have Heather McDonald, my other queen.

And Friday, I'm still working on, I'm trying to nail an interview.

Can't wait.

This is very exciting.

We love LA turdy.

So bear with us for next week.

And just note the episodes that I'm recording with people in LA.

I will be on Western, Western, what's it called?

Pacific?

West Coast.

Pacific time.

So for the Pacific Coast girlies, you're fine.

But the New York girlies, the episodes are delayed when I'm in L.A.

So just keep that in mind for your schedule and your routine.

Okay, well, thank you so much, Turdy.

We look forward to seeing you on the West Coast and what you have in store for us.

I gotta pack, scrub my spray tan off, get a new spray tan, like, you know, the whole, like, that's what I'm doing this weekend, like before the big, the big trip.

Great.

Well,

we'll see you next week, everyone.

Keep your head.

Stay safe.

Try and find some pockets of peace, but we also, you know, we can't be ignorant to what's going on.

So it's a balance of of that.

Thank you guys so much for all the positive feedback this week.

You are booing us legitimately.

You are.

Oh my God.

I opened a message that made me hysterically cry

yesterday.

Like the toasters are just so nice, like for real.

And they always know what to say.

No, and she was just like, I see what you're doing.

And like, I can't donate much, but like, I'm a very skilled website developer.

If anybody, any Jewish organizations need like any sort of like website help, like just offering anything she could offer in like her, her time and her experience.

Like I was so moved by it.

And I sent her information around, and I just messaged her.

I was like, this was so, like, I was just so moved by this.

Thank you so much.

Yeah.

No, everybody is contributing so much.

And, like, we've been sharing so many wonderful organizations that you can donate to.

And, like, the toasters are just donating.

And it's so, it's so nice to see it does not go unnoticed.

And we know that we're sharing a lot of links.

And every time we share, like, and if it's like an organization, like a small org and we know the person, they're like, oh my God, they're so shook by the response that they get.

And it's like, just you guys continuing to donate and give.

And it's amazing.

And like, seriously, I will never forget like the kindness and generosity and just like the empathy of our community this week and just like giving us space and being like, you don't have to record an episode.

Like just true understanding and true allyship.

And I'm deeply, deeply moved and comforted by it.

Yeah, me too.

And we will not forget it.
