Celebs x War: Thursday, October 12th, 2023

Good morning, millennials, and happy Wednesday.

Hope everybody's having like the best day that they could possibly be having.

Given the circumstances, I hope that your day is going as well as it could possibly go.

Right.

Hey, Jax, how you doing?

I'm doing okay.

I look forward to another day of trying to buoy

humanity and the Jewish community.

Yeah.

Because that is our role to play in the war to come, amongst others.

But I think it's a very important role.

And it helps me.

I think it helps you.

And it helps a lot of people.

So I am committed to doing that while still talking about what's going on, talking about the celebrity element and sharing resources for how you can help.

100%.

You just reminded me of somebody like not to change a subject so swiftly on you.

We started a list yesterday of phrases like we need to start saying more regularly and just things we need to start remembering.

And I had one.

Okay.

Is the blank in the room with us?

Yeah, that's something that you saw on TikTok.

It's not like I saw on TikTok.

It's just like what people say on TikTok.

And you like it.

And I like it.

celebrating it.

Yeah, it's like when someone, like, okay, Jackie, tell me, like,

hold on.

Tell me, like, that you feel really beautiful today.

Like, you'd be like, I look really beautiful today.

No, because I feel like you're going to, like, just be like, can you say for the way that your phrase is, it sounds like you're about to make fun of me?

Okay.

Say,

be like, I look

so,

fuck.

I can't, like, explain this the way.

Okay.

No, no.

Okay.

This isn't buoying.

Watching you stutter and fumble.

No, it's like when somebody brags, like, oh my God, I'm having such a hard time explaining like the proper use of this phrase.

Am I okay?

Is the blank in the room with us?

Like, maybe you could find the TikTok you saw it in and share it.

It's not like a one-time TikTok.

It's just like when somebody on TikTok brags, like, look how,

you know, fancy my room looks.

And someone will comment, is the fanciness in the room with us?

Okay, that's a good example.

Is that a good example?

Yes.

Yeah, no, it's so funny.

And I probably should learn how to properly use it before I try to like start adding it to my weekly vernacular and disseminating it.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I totally botched it.

Can somebody like write a good comment explaining it?

And so, you were gonna make fun of me.

Is the beauty in the room with you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm not falling for that.

But it wasn't about you, it was it was hypothetical.

I understand.

I just feel like there were other situations that could be less hurtful.

So, do you want to add it to the list?

You didn't make the best case for it, but I'll do it because I love you and you're my sister, and we're 50-50.

And if it's important to you, it's important to me.

Wow, I love that energy.

Also,

I need to talk about things that are booing us.

Is the blank in the room.

Yeah, what's going on?

Because I have a few things to help buoy you.

One, my episode of The Redheads is out.

Claudia listened to it this morning, and the comedian herself said it was comedy gold.

It was really funny.

How funny are we?

Just really, really good.

I think we need to move to the comedy category.

It's highly competitive.

It is, but the Redheads, there's nothing like them.

Nobody can beat them.

Yeah, but also the Redheads kind of like put out that episode without posting anything else about like the war in Israel.

No, I heard that the Redheads are very anti-Israel.

You could possibly think that because we've been silent.

Or silenced.

Radio silence from the Redheads.

Disgusting.

And we put out that episode not even acknowledging what's going on.

So if you think maybe the Redheads don't stand with Israel, I'm here to tell you that we absolutely do.

I run our Instagram account and all of my efforts are being put towards my personal

toast.

But I do need to make a statement from the Redheads, plus dropping an episode like in the middle of a war without context could seem insensitive.

It could seem insensitive.

No, and you should also actually, now I'm being serious, like put together, I saw Emily House reads a list of books for anybody who wants to like know more about the conflict or just like, you know,

learn about the Jewish people and the struggle.

Jewish history.

Yes, that is my plan.

But you know, the Redheads, our Instagram is very curated, so I have to make the cards.

I understand.

And as stated, like, I've just had a lot going on, but that is priority today for sure.

The episode's 30 minutes, so it's just like a nice.

I listened to Apology in My Hair this morning.

A nice little treat if you just want some lighthearted fodder.

Plus, I'm also on Straight Up with Stasi podcast.

And that's another little treat treat if you want some lighthearted fodder.

It was a really fun episode.

Claudia was like sitting next to me while I recorded it.

I was sitting right here, and Jackie was sitting right there.

So the voice of Claudia is in the episode.

I'm constantly like asking her, Wait, Claude, what about this?

Yeah, that kind of makes the episode worth listening to.

Yeah, for Turdy's influence.

For Turdy's voice.

When you're done listening to the toast today and you still need to be buoyed, there's two more podcasts that you can listen to with your girl.

And I think it's important to have things to look forward to.

I agree.

I feel like yesterday,

I was actually like,

I needed things to buoy me.

Like, I had a really bad night last night.

Like, I, I feel like people always say, and it's something I've never been able to relate to, like when they're stricken with grief or just like going through really hard times, like, I can't sleep, I can't eat.

Like, for me in my life, and no matter what I've been going through, like, I can always sleep and I can always eat.

I, I was shook when I weighed myself this morning.

Like, not in the way that I'm usually shook.

I cannot eat.

I'm nauseous all the time.

I literally woke up.

I literally thought I was pregnant.

Like, I fell asleep nauseous and I woke up nauseous.

I feel physically ill.

Like yesterday was just like a, yesterday we were together a lot.

And so I feel like we were, like, I feel good when I'm with other people.

But like the second I got home, I was literally not okay, like physically or emotionally.

It's like, I need the toast to buoy me today.

Like I'm like, I'm sick.

We are going to do our best.

And I feel like we have been doing as good a job as we possibly can, given that there's so much on our minds and on our hearts.

And so we're just going to keep it real with you guys about how we're feeling.

I'm wearing this cowboy sweatshirt today because it's the only sweatshirt sweatshirt I brought to New York with me.

I don't know if the Cowboys made a statement.

If they didn't, I won't be wearing it again.

I'm sure that they did.

I Googled it.

I said, Dallas Cowboys, Israel, but there's a player named Israel.

And he came up.

So I said, Dallas Cowboys, Hamas.

Nothing came up.

I never thought I'd be Googling Dallas Cowboys Hamas.

I don't think Hamas thought you'd ever be Googling Dallas Cowboys Hamas.

I don't think the Cowboys thought I'd ever be Googling Dallas Cowboys Hamas.

But so many sports teams have come out strong in support of Israel.

So, you know, I would honestly assume that they have.

If the Cowboys haven't, there are so many teams for me to be a fan of right now.

I'm so impressed by the sports world.

Yeah, the sports world for before a lot of games have been, you know, having moments of silence.

Like it's, it's very, um, I know it feels like meaningless and performative, but I actually really don't agree.

I think seeing things like that bring me great comfort.

Just knowing like there's 10,000 people or however many are in a stadium or a baseball field like who all like know that this is wrong.

Like that actually brings me great comfort.

And I find maybe what other people would refer to as performative activism.

Like it brings me great comfort.

Yeah, I totally agree.

Everyone, there was like a huge Israeli flag in that baseball game that video went around.

Also, I wanted to talk about something because I feel like when people talk about performative activism, they always talk about the black square and everyone's like, remember the black square?

We're not doing this anymore.

I didn't feel that way about the black square.

Can I tell you what, how I saw the black square?

Like when I woke up that day, I forget which day it was, but it was.

It was Thursday.

Nobody was posting anything other than a black square.

And my entire Instagram feed was black squares.

People who I follow, you know, in my personal life, who never post at all, who just use Instagram passively, never post.

I've never seen a post of theirs.

Every single post was a Black Square.

I did not see one other person's content from an influencer or a person, no ads, nothing self-promotional.

And it felt like an international day of mourning.

And I remember feeling like, wow, if this, if people ever did this for the Jews, how much that would mean to me?

You know, I completely agree.

Now, I think it's like, it's dismissed as performative, but I remember

it that way.

I remember experiencing it as like, we're not distracted.

We're not talking about literally anything else than this.

And it was extremely powerful.

I agree.

I think now, like, people remark on it differently, but at the time.

I feel like at the time people didn't appreciate it either.

And then they thought that it was like taking away from the messaging of the movement because then Instagram was flooded.

But I just felt like I would like you, you had to pay attention.

Yeah.

No, I completely agree.

So I don't feel like I don't feel that way about social media activism, even just posting up a card.

Like

I think it means something and it matters to me yeah no as someone on the other side like i i feel like you can't it's all good yeah like i don't really see how and then we're not even saying like stop posting your coffee right and your lip balm and your ads i know it's prime day you guys have commitments i did yeah

but like

you can post where you stand yeah no i i agree with you And if you're not posting anything at all, none of those things, then you don't have to post anything.

Right.

No, it's not like a requirement.

And I kind of like, I'm struggling with so many like like internal conflicts.

Yeah.

Because I find myself like being like judgmental and like shame, like police shame, post, post-shaming people.

Yes.

In my head.

Now I'm not, you know, a little bit on the toast, too.

A little bit on my Instagram.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And actually, I'm definitely.

And like, I feel like I'm turning into like a person who's annoying and someone I would like hate, but it's like, it's conflicting feelings.

I understand that, but what happened was so egregious.

Yeah.

An evil we've never seen in our lifetimes in this century ever.

Inconceivable inconceivable evil.

So I want to know the people that I follow and the people that I know, like, is this ambiguous for you?

I don't want to know you.

I don't want to follow you.

That's so true.

Like when you break it down, like, you're right.

And the people who come on with like statements of like six slides, it's like,

I don't, I don't need to hear your verbal diarrhea.

Like, I need to know where do you stand.

Like, that's it.

Yep.

No, totally.

And I don't need to hear why you can't tell me where you stand or why I don't need to hear where you stand.

Like, yeah.

No, I do need to know like which of my friends are going to justify and excuse terrorism.

Like, I absolutely need to know.

For sure.

And I think it's really important to know.

Like, in no way do I think that everything else should stop.

No.

And I think we'll talk about that.

Not that it could.

I think we'll talk about that with our friends and the people who are going to be able to do that.

We can barely get people to just stand with Israel unequivocally without the butt at the end of the sentence, let alone to stop posting their nonsense.

And some of the nonsense is buoying, so I'm not even asking you.

Yeah, no, and I don't think that's required.

And I don't know if it would necessarily even be like, you know, more helpful.

I think it's perfectly fine to like, the rules of social media are so bizarre and they're so fluid and they're always changing but like in this moment I feel like it really is okay to continue to go on with your life especially if your job is influencing content creating being a celebrity putting out content I think that is fine but I do think it's you know

Also important to just announce where you stand.

Like, are you ashamed of where you stand?

And there are so many graphics that I've seen that don't say much, but they say enough.

The one that's like, you don't have to be Jewish, you don't have to be Israeli, you just have to be human.

When I see that, agreed.

You just have to be human.

Yeah.

It is inhuman to see what we saw to have that not be enough for you to doubt what you've seen to say oh this is fake news this is propaganda it's like everyone is doubting this like babies claim because they won't release pictures it's like how badly do you want to see decapitated babies and they released a picture today so it's really graphic if you're on and they released a picture like that's how much doubt was cast upon this like first they just told us about it and people didn't it wasn't enough then netanyahu showed president biden pictures he came on and he said i saw it right biden Biden confirmed yesterday that he saw it.

And people were like, he mumbled.

What?

So they posted a picture where if you need to see a picture, which I don't think most of you do, but if you do need to see it in order to believe it, where was it posted?

It's on Twitter.

You could find it.

Okay.

It's really, really upsetting.

I didn't see it.

Did you see it?

I saw somebody had like blocked out some of it.

So I saw like part.

Okay.

So, yes,

there's enough information out there for you to get a grasp on what's going on.

And I think

to not address it is just, it's, it's an interesting take.

It's an interesting take.

And I feel like so many people are like, I don't want to take up space with my post-on.

No, you should.

Take it up.

You know what takes up space?

Those six slides I have to spend time reading that everybody else shares and hides behind, so I've got to read it again.

Yeah.

That's taking up time and space.

Yeah.

Shove it up your ass

jackie went there

she went there

unless you're saying something like if you're saying i saw a statement that literally said nothing i know said absolutely nothing that is taking up space no and the font is so better off not saying anything seriously like no shade because you've just said nothing no you sound dumb it was like i'm gonna be real with you with the people of the world and i love oceans i love oceans it was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

And it came from an account that you wouldn't expect anything more.

It was like, words are vibrations.

One of those accounts.

One of those accounts.

Third eye shop crop.

No, I like third eye thoughts.

Third eye blind.

I love third eye thoughts.

They're really introspective.

I don't need to hear from third eye thoughts on this matter.

Right, right, right, right, right.

So,

like, what else?

What else?

We have some celeb news.

We have some celeb x war news.

Celeb X war.

And that's what we do here because we know you're all sitting around doing the same thing.

And I just want to say, like, I know we have, I've heard a lot from

toasters who live or visiting Israel, and they said the toast is buoying them.

So, like, we are committed to being as funny as possible today for them.

Yeah.

Which we always are.

We don't have to try.

We don't even have to.

I feel like when we try, that's like when it's not funny.

It's so true.

And I kind of feel myself trying.

No.

No, and yesterday I was like not trying and we were so funny yesterday.

It is what it is.

Who would have thought like wartime episodes being some of this?

They're so important.

Yeah.

Shall we?

Like, I guess.

I guess it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know.

You.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Boddered Fertility.

Think back to Sex Ed for a moment.

You probably learned all about how to prevent pregnancy, but what about how to plan for it?

If you've always been a big fan of planning ahead like we have, you know, you schedule trips months in advance, plotting out your next career move, you should be doing the same for kids.

So the traditional guidance with fertility has always been just to wait and see, but modern fertility is changing that.

It's an easy and affordable way to test your fertility hormones at home with

a simple finger prick.

Mail it in with a prepaid label, and you'll get your personalized results within six business days.

You can get insight into your hormone levels, like your ovarian reserve, and other important factors that can impact your fertility.

The results go deep into what every hormone means, and you can also download the results to review with your doctor for next steps.

Hormone testing at a fertility clinic can cost over $600,

but Modern Fertility tests the same general set of hormones for only $179.

And if you go to modernfertility.com/slash toast, you can get $20 off your test.

Plus, you can get reimbursed for the test through your FSA or your HSA, which is fabulous.

So, if you want kids today or maybe one day in the future, clinically sound information about your body can help you make the decision that's right for you.

Because the toast and modern fertility both believe that knowledge is power, and fertility is no different.

It's so important to know what's going on in your body.

So, right now, modern fertility is offering our listeners $20 off the test when you go to modernfertility.com/slash toast.

That means your test will cost $159, which is a fraction of what it would cost at a fertility clinic.

Get $20 off your fertility test when you go to modernfertility.com/slash toast.

That's modernfertility.com slash T-O-A-S-T.

Wow, you're kind of like being laxed with the iPad recently.

Buddy, I'm in no rush.

Plus, like, you know, it's hard for us to find things to talk about, so I'm taking my time.

It is hard for us.

The episode long.

It is really hard for us to find things to talk about.

Okay, the first story, what everyone's talking about in Celebx War News.

Oh.

Taylor Swift forge ahead with her dumbass movie premiere has yet to say anything about anything going on in the world.

She had this Swift era's tour concert film premiere in Los Angeles, smiling on the red carpet with her celeb friends, posting videos with Beyonce,

yet to mention Slaughterfest 2023.

Yeah, so

I

have like literally not been able to process this.

Like when I was on my Instagram yesterday and she posted like a picture of her in her outfit, which was heinous, getting ready for like I was

i was floored like i understand that this is an event that's been planned and like you're not you don't need to cancel it no and that's what you just said like you have your work commitments right do your thing for sure and she hasn't said anything and

even if you're not gonna say anything to post about it on it like on instagram like for me just takes it to another level like have the event if you want to stay silent fine still stay silent but to post about it on instagram like i don't know i was just shook beyond words and my lack of interest in this story is like beyond me because this is is a week ago, I would have had so much to say about Beyoncé.

Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes.

Like, it's fabulous.

She, everyone keeps pitting them against each other.

Beyonce looked fucking amazing.

Like,

I could go on, but honestly, like, it's one of the craziest.

Does anyone else not like it?

This is crazy, you know?

Oh, it's crazy.

And you said yesterday Taylor doesn't speak on these issues, so you don't expect her to speak, but she does.

She does.

You know, you're right.

I, uh, the 50, the Jewish 50s, like, and I have been chatting.

And they're like, no, for many, many, many, many years, she never said one thing about one thing ever and then that started to backfire on her and then i think kind of performatively she started like picking and choosing kind of safe causes um

and putting a lot of energy behind it and she actually got like a lot of backlash for it especially from the queer community because it felt just like inauthentic um to like make it your brand right and no i had forgotten about that like she she in recent years and it was covered a lot in her documentary now i've spoken to the jewish swifties and we are like crestfallen like for real um and there has been like a

a theory going around which i i do think has validity and i'll shed some light on it um you know taylor speaking out is huge bigger than any celebrity ever um she's you know actively on a world tour and i think it could be a possible concern she talked about it in the documentary um about her safety you know, taking a stance against a terrorist organization, one of the most powerful people in the globe, who's going to be traveling around the world in the coming year.

I guess that's fair.

Who wants to tell our Hamas doesn't care if you stand with them or against them?

Like, they're coming for you just the same.

So, so factual.

No, it's factual.

I just wanted to share with the Jewish 50s.

Like, I've seen that theory.

We're struggling.

I've seen that theory.

And we're grasping at straws.

I know.

And you guys are getting really creative.

And I think that there's probably some merit and some fear, maybe,

but you also have to, you know, have a spine.

No, for sure.

And honestly, I was really shook because i i didn't really put together i wasn't thinking about the fact that it was era's night launch like i just wasn't it wasn't on my radar and the first thing i saw was that instagram post and then when i was on twitter i saw a picture of marin morris and i've been monitoring marin morris because she's like a very vocal queen she actually we didn't even talk about it on the toast but like she it was kind of misleading because she like did it and the media like kind of misinterpreted and then she went on a podcast and said like kind of but she basically said like i'm formally leaving like the country music industry like my music will still be country but i'm not releasing it with country record labels anymore.

Like, I don't want to be a part of the Nashville crew because I find country music just to be like hypocritical and they don't stand for equality.

And she thinks they're spineless.

Like, there's obviously just politics, like, a difference of politics there.

And that was her, you know, big moment when she, like, a week or two ago.

And I've been looking at Marin Morris's page, not promoting,

excuse me, not promoting, hasn't said a word.

Yeah.

Promoting her children's book.

Who would dare?

How dare she?

Who would dare?

She can promote it in between, you know, her statement.

I was shocked because she just made this huge

pronouncement.

And the reason for her leaving is like, you know, her progressive beliefs and

that none of that aligns with the country

world.

And it's like, well, here you go.

Right.

This was not progressive.

Do you have something to say about that?

About the women being raped.

Right.

About a country that I read something crazy today that the 93% of people in Gaza

are against

homosexuality.

93%.

They said it was the highest in the world.

So like it's not progressive.

No, that's what I'm saying.

So like I, that Marin Morrising like really struck me.

I was like, wow.

Just her presence there, I was like, yeah.

I was shook.

And also, I think it's high time we started talking about what happened between Kelsey Vallerini and Taylor Swift.

I saw a video on TikTok

before the war, BW, where Taylor was, Kelsey was on a red carpet and she was asked, like, what do you think about Travis and Kelsey?

And she was like, oh, I think it's great.

I hosted SNL with, and I love Travis.

And, you know, Taylor and I were close for many, many years.

We're close for many, many years.

And the comments were like, were.

And now it feels like Taylor's like new, you know, country girl BFF is Marin.

Yeah.

But is that surprising?

How many were close friends did Taylor, has Taylor had?

Wow.

Like now we can be honest, yeah.

No, I really.

Like might be 50.

No, she definitely has a lot of, you know, coming and going.

She has a lot of Roman Empires.

Yeah.

The girl you used to be friends with.

So back to Beyonce and Taylor.

Also also worth noting, Beyonce has not said a word.

Right.

So I don't know, this gave me nothing.

Like this is something I would have like seriously like died over, especially because Beyonce looks so gorgeous.

Yeah, it would have been a great moment for women, but we just had like a really bad moment for women.

So maybe we could have like women like this picture.

She's talking about that.

There's no serotonin.

Like my brain doesn't, there's no wave activity.

When seeing this photo It's enormously disappointing.

Yeah.

And I'm struggling with how to grapple.

Like, seriously, I'm really struggling.

Yeah.

The Jewish 50s are not fucking okay.

I will give you space and time.

Thank you.

Like, please don't come out.

No, I know you're loving those.

No, I'm not.

I'm not.

I would have loved for her to be the queen that we need her to be.

Speaking of.

Wait, wait.

Wait, what are you doing?

Kings and queens.

No.

But save that.

You know who was at the Eras tour that like a lot of people are talking about is Adam Sandler.

Right.

Because he's like pretty much like the most prominent Jewish celebrity who is so proudly Jewish and everything he does.

And he's been, and he's not like a person who releases statements.

Like

just a dad.

But like, he's not an influencer.

He's not on Instagram.

We don't like it.

To me, he's not required.

He's not required.

And I imagine, I just watched his movie and I seen quotes about him talking about Israel.

Like he loves him.

He even did a big Howard Stern thing once.

So I believe he's someone who is, you know, his role is not Instagram influencing.

I'm sure he is helping behind the scenes in his personal life.

We all have a role to play in the war to come.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I have no issue at the moment.

But I'm saying, like, I have to imagine if, like, you know, Taylor was like a Hamas lover, Adam wouldn't have gone.

Like, they know each other personally.

I don't know.

I'm really struggling.

Like, I'm grasping at straws.

No, I don't think it's that.

I think, you know, his daughter's probably really wanting to go.

Yeah.

And he went.

Okay.

Speaking of kings and queens,

so interesting.

And like,

the way that this show has just like changed in the last week is so crazy because Kate Middleton, Prince William, and King Charles put out a statement yesterday

about the war.

They said the Prince and Princess of Wales are profoundly distressed by the devastating events that have unfolded in the past days.

The horrors inflicted by Hamas's terrorist attack upon Israel are appalling.

They utterly condemn them.

As Israel exercises its right of self-defense, all Israelis and Palestinians will continue to be stalked by grief, fanger, anger, fear, and anger.

And fanger.

And fanger in the time to come.

A very strong statement.

A very strong statement.

And we were saying yesterday how Megan and Harry were on their mental health world tour.

They haven't said much.

You know, they like to speak out for causes.

And especially like humanitarian crises such as this.

Crises.

And they put out a statement yesterday, too.

After Will and Kate.

After Will and Kate.

And I have to imagine like Will and Kate's statement lit a fire under their tushies, no?

The timing, like, but a lot of people, you know, a lot of people.

Yesterday was a big day for a lot of people.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

Couldn't really ignore it for much longer.

They said at the Archwell Foundation with Prince Harry and Megan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, we stand against all acts of terrorism and brutality.

We are supporting our partners and organizations on the front lines in Israel to provide the urgent aid needed and to help all innocent victims of this unconscionable level of human suffering.

No, that's the thing.

Like, I knew Markle and her sparkle would show up.

Like, Rachel Zane would never not show up.

Like, I,

like, I, this, again, brings me great comfort.

These are people with so much influence.

Like, these are like

AAAA lists.

Like, I always think of them on the same level as Michelle and Barack, like, former dignitaries of sorts.

Former like heads of state.

I don't know.

I feel like they all just go to like Martha's Vineyard together.

Diplomats.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, you know, Barack Obama put out something really strong, too.

Like, I think these are people with enormous influence, like all over the country, not just in like elite circles, you know?

And I'm grateful.

I really, really am.

So grateful, so appreciative of this strong statement from Megan and Harry in the ranking of beloved celebrities on this show.

Megan has now surpassed Taylor Swift.

I'm telling you.

And if you had told me that last week, like, by the way, next week, you guys are going to be so here for Megan Markle and so not here for Taylor Swift.

If you told me, I could have told you the Megan Markle thing.

Like, I've been telling you, you need to watch Suits.

Yeah, I'm sure.

She, I, I just, I knew it.

Like, she's a fucking queen.

Well, former

princess.

Queen.

She's a queen.

Like, that's my bitch right there.

I love her.

Yeah.

So that's some good celebrity ex-war.

I just want to say, like, I still find Harry annoying.

Like, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

But, you know what, doing the right thing?

No,

all FIFA squashed.

No, it's so true.

Like, the media landscape is forever changed for me.

For me.

And

it should be.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Speaking of the media landscape,

SAG AFSTRA

are back to negotiations as studios suspend negotiations.

So talks between SAG Afstra and the major studios have broken down as the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV producers said Wednesday that the gap between the sides is too great.

In a statement to members after midnight, the union accused studios of engaging in bully tactics and said that the studios had walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter the union's latest offer.

Like a couple of weeks ago, we were told it's going to be any day now.

Like we're good.

We're pretty much there.

Just dot the T's, sign the I's.

Yeah, but that was about the writers.

No.

That was about the actors.

The writers were confirmed.

Okay.

And then they're like, and SAG is imminent.

SAG is three, four days away.

That's what they said.

So now the studios have walked away from the table.

But the writers are good.

Like, the writers are back at work.

Okay, happy for the writers.

What does this mean for the actors?

Like, are we going to get all new actors now?

I don't know.

Or like, maybe a new different union.

Like, maybe people who want to go back to work and are fine accepting less because it's all they can get.

They're like, listen, we got to work.

So I don't, I honestly, like, I have no idea.

I don't know.

Like,

and now how long has this been going on?

Was it since July?

That's really long, yeah.

And,

like, thankfully, most of the TV I watch is like the nanny, like, shows that the friends, yeah, sex and city.

Like, I've just been to watch like the same five shows.

Um,

but like, people gotta work.

This ain't cool, yeah.

You know, I am, you know, going to an event that Fran dresser is scheduled to be at next week.

Maybe I'll just ask her, like, Franny, what up?

Yeah.

Wait, I just put together Franny, the nanny, even though they call her Fran.

It should have been called the Franny.

That's how she became the Franny.

So, but also, like, I guess writers, a lot of writers write for TV shows with actors, but a lot of writers write for like daytime.

So,

I feel like some of the writers who are now probably not striking anymore still don't have work because they write on scripted shows.

Right.

That sucks.

Yeah.

It's all one big organism.

Right, right.

And I feel like SAG went on strike in solidarity with WGA,

and now

they're alone on strike.

Yeah, but they had their own things to talk about, too.

For sure, for sure.

You don't just like on strike for nothing.

Yeah, so who knows?

The SAG saga continues to confound.

Maybe Fran like will drop out of the event because she's now like so busy.

Like it's it sounds like her schedule just freed up.

They're done negotiating.

They walked away.

Yeah, but she is like a union to answer to, you know?

Like thousands of members.

Yeah.

i'll let you guys know if i see her i think that you will i mean the studio has walked away so either she has to come back like with her tail between her legs or actors are gonna leave the union or new actors are gonna get jobs that they wouldn't have gotten yeah at this moment in time i like i can't believe this is still going on if you ever wanted to be a movie star like really now is your time

Yeah, but the dangers of that, they say, it's like if you're wanting to be a movie star,

you can like technically take advantage of this strike if you're not in SAG and get a role you never would have gotten because no eligible SAG person is around.

If you do that, you're immediately like blacklisted from SAG.

So if SAG remains, and I'm sure it will, like this prestigious union that you have to be a part of, and you acted this way during the strike, hashtag the SAG remembers.

I think that there's going to be a coup within SAG of actors who cannot take this.

First of all, people who actually like need to work.

Yeah.

The smaller actors, they'll start.

And they could also say like, hey, if we defect, defect, we could get these bigger roles.

I think that's what's going to happen.

That's usually what happens.

Like Lord of the Flies energy.

Yeah.

However, I do think SAG

has a big fund that a lot of like the 1% of like, they say like 99% of people in SAG don't make more than, I think, $26,000 a year.

But that 1% of people make hundreds of millions.

But it behooves them to keep paying that fund so those people don't take their part.

Right.

Open your eyes.

So a lot of big actors are

keeping them at $26,000 salaries.

I was going going to say a lot of big actors are contributing to the fund.

To keep them at $26,000.

Because that fund's going to run out.

Instead of taking their million-dollar salary.

And by the way, I don't know how much really longer that fund can go on paying like 100,000 people's rent bills.

For the first couple of weeks, it was like noble.

But now it's like,

how much money is that?

A lot.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I think we're going to see the SAG turn on each other.

What is the new SAG called?

Hag?

Yeah.

SAG.

Oh, no, SAG.

another guy

there's other sacks oh my god

I was not saying that

wag wag bring back wag

are you ready for our next story yeah some odd celebrity news Sharon Osborne says she and Ozzie still have an assisted suicide pact in place that's so them the talk show host Sharon initially addressed what show is she on um she was on the talk the talk But she's not anymore.

No, because.

She's on a Zempic.

Yes, and she's spoken about that.

She said she lost too much weight.

Same.

She initially addressed the subject in her 2007 memoir, Survivor My Story, where she said that the couple would go to the Swiss physician-assisted suicide organization Dignitas should either of them ever suffer from dementia.

The topic surfaced once again on the latest episode of the Osborns podcast, which features the whole family.

During the conversation, Jack inquired if euthanasia was still a plan for his parents.

Euthanasia is such a crazy word.

Yeah.

I guess assisted suicide is euthanasia.

However, euthanasia makes me think of dogs and the Holocaust.

Why?

Didn't they euthanize people in the Holocaust?

They killed them.

It wasn't a murder killing.

Do you think gassing people euthanization?

No, it's just murder.

Oh, okay.

So what's euthanization?

It's like when you kill someone prematurely to scare them.

Yes.

Oh, oh, oh.

Okay, never mind.

So then I think of dogs.

Yes, dogs.

So

Sharon replied, do you think that we're going to suffer?

Aren't we already suffering?

And he said, yes, we all.

She said, yes, we all are, but I don't want it to actually hurt as well.

Mental suffering is enough pain without physical.

So if you've got mental and physical, see ya.

And then Kelly said, but what if you could survive?

And Sharon said, yeah.

Survive dementia?

Sharon said, Yeah, what if you survived and you can't wipe your own ass?

You're pissing everywhere, shitting, can't eat.

I just want to say, I'm not laughing at the side effects.

Dementia is horrible.

I'm laughing at you saying, shitting yourself.

I got to listen to this broadcast.

This story begs a larger question.

Let's talk about the Osbournes.

Like, they have been famous for as long as I've been.

I can't talk about the Osbournes without Kelly Osbourne on the view.

I can't talk about the Osbournes without saying, Sharon!

I didn't know about that Kelly Osborne on the View clip.

How about that, Donald Trump?

I fucking love that moment.

It's the funniest thing.

And when he sent it to me, it was the most shocking thing I ever saw.

If you've never seen, just Google Kelly, I keep almost saying Kelly Clark said.

Kelly Osborne, the view, Trump.

Oh my God, it's 10 seconds.

And the video just does not end how you think it's going to end.

It's the craziest thing I've ever seen.

I can't believe she still works.

Yeah.

But I guess her parents are going to be able to do that.

Actually,

maybe Google Kelly Osbourne toilet.

No, Claudia, like everyone knows everyone knows like i'm sure if i google the internet will know what you're looking for if i go to kelly osborne on google like and i see related searches like it's gonna be kelly osborne the view and i don't want to spoil it for you guys and i don't want to ruin it kelly osborne 2023 baby weight loss oh wait

view it's the it's buried

she's a team of people working on it it's buried propaganda there like but you have to write the whole thing out got it you have to find it um but it really i i think we should just take a step back and think about the Osbournes at large.

Like, they are famous because he was in a band called Black Sabbath.

Very, very, very, very successful.

And him and Sharon became like this iconic rock.

And then they had kids and then they had the reality show.

And like, I just don't know why.

Like, they're all famous still.

Like, it's just like crazy to me, no?

Yeah.

What does Jack do?

Right.

Oh, that was an actual question.

No, right.

Google.

Like, he does what every Nepo kid does.

Yeah.

Stuff.

Projects and such.

Projects of that nature.

Projects of that nature.

Understood.

I just, I think it's crazy that, like, all these people are famous.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah, but they're like.

But that's what, for a very long time in this country, like, that's what America loved.

Like, families of famous people.

Like, their show on E was around the same time as the Kardashians.

Like, there was an obsession with like family reality shows.

And there are, not even just famous people, like all those TLC shows.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Stacey and Darcy.

Sonicate.

Stacey and Darcy Silva, yeah.

Are those 600?

No, no,

that's Tammy and Amy.

Thousand Pound Sisters.

They're not thousand pounds anymore.

What are they?

I would say collectively, I don't want to guess someone's weight.

But how they lost the weight?

Yeah.

How?

Like one did, and then the other was like put on a ventilator.

I'm not sure.

Like it was, honestly.

How did they lose it?

I think one of them got surgery, but like one of them, I honestly, I don't know.

I don't keep up with the thousand pound sisters.

I prefer to watch 600 Pound Life individual stories.

Got it.

But they got their own show, Tammy and Amy.

Right, right.

It's a crazy name for a show.

Actually, I actually remember the first time I saw it in my TV guide,

I was floored.

No, TLC goes hard.

No, and you know what?

Like, they have a niche, and they kill it.

Like, who would you say competes with TLC for like freak show?

They're like they've done people with like

with like the biggest pimples ever on their backs and give them their own shows about what it's like to live with a pimple that big.

Like, it's a circus.

No, but like, Netflix hasn't even like what TLC does, and they're not even trying to copy it.

Like, that's how much of a lock they

singular their niche is.

Yeah.

Some of their shows, like, the titles, like, at first, they started innocently, like, Toddlers and Tiaras and John and Kate plus eight.

Then they had, like, the Duggars with 19 kids.

And counting.

And counting, because like they were constantly, you know, fucking.

And then they just like, honestly, I need to Google like craziest shows TLC has ever produced.

Okay.

Because I feel like you wouldn't believe it

unless TLC ever.

I mean, who could forget breaking Amish?

Right.

Who could also forget extreme cheap skates?

Oh, yeah.

Hoarders.

Hoarders.

Buying naked.

Are you familiar with that?

No.

Oh, I've seen this.

Sex Sent Me to the ER.

Dramatizations.

It's like people's stories that they dramatize.

I didn't know I was pregnant.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Best funeral ever.

Okay, wait, screenrant.com, the 10 weirdest TLC shows of all.

Oh, excuse me.

It's not even on here.

My Strange Addiction.

Oh, my God.

Extreme couponing, I want to say that's one of the best shows on TV.

We could all learn a lot from those people.

Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo.

Hoarding, Buried Alive.

DUI, perhaps one of the most forgettable series.

DUI was a production in the same vein as Cops or Live PD, in which television crews chronicled the arrests and persecutions, prosecutions, excuse me, of Oklahoma residents caught driving while intoxicated.

Oklahoma is notorious for its stringent DUI laws, and the series highlighted the stresses and consequences of those working their way through the court system after being arrested.

Breaking Amish, extreme cheapskates,

buying naked.

House hunting shows are incredibly popular, and when combined with feuding couples or unexpected expenses, the ups and downs of the housing market can make for surprisingly exciting TV.

But in 2013, TLC decided to take it a step further by debuting.

Of course, they did.

By debuting a series that focused on the househunting experiences of nudist couples.

Oh, I should be on the show.

Freaky Eaters.

A program that highlighted individuals struggling to absolve themselves of irregular eating habits from a man who hoarded more than 100 gallons of maple syrup in his home to a woman who habitually drank up to 30 cans of soda per day.

Me.

Aired for two seasons.

Oh my God, this cannot be a real show.

My teen is pregnant.

And so am I.

My strange addiction.

Like MTV, like, had teen moms.

Yeah, they just just have to take it so far.

They just have to obsess.

Like, I really respect and applaud their ingenuity and constant creativity.

Yeah.

To finding

the craziest people in the country.

Like, what their writer's room is like and like the ideas that are found.

But they don't have.

Oh, oh, yeah.

Oh, not like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, they're creative, their think tank.

We're doing a brainstorm.

Like, what's the craziest show we could do?

Yeah, like, new development team.

Yeah.

That would be just insane.

Am I being called?

Who's calling now?

It's the iPad.

The iPad's.

No, the iPad's here.

It's my computer.

Oh.

It says you're calling me.

What?

Oh, no, sorry.

Never mind.

Sorry.

Someone else.

Okay.

My phone didn't update.

Give me a second.

This pop-up won't go away.

Teresa Duder Judice and her daughters

and her daughters slammed for partnering with problematic fast fashion brand.

So Teresa and three of her daughters face face backlash for partnering with fast fashion retailer Sheen.

Teresa and all of her daughters shared a video posing in several dresses, matching sets, and pajamas for their Judaist Girls ex-Sheen collab.

They said, we're so excited to finally announce our partnership with Sheen Official to create the ultimate.

I'm not saying it like Sheena, like Sheena Shai, Shein.

Because if it was up to me, I would say Shine.

So I'm trying to get it.

Say Shein.

Shine.

Shine on, girl.

It's she.

What am I saying?

Sheen?

Shein, no?

It's S-H-E-I-N.

There's no reason the company's name that.

Like, she in.

It may be she-in, she-out.

That's what I was thinking, like, she-in, but, like, that's not even a good name.

If your company name is so, like, is causing so much disruption in discourse, you need to reevaluate.

A lot of things they do cause disruption in discourse, and they're not re-evaluating, but I should watch your video to see how the door is pronounce it.

Yeah.

But they said all, it's ultimate pre-holiday collection.

They said all of the pieces are a reflection of us.

It's very glittery and gold.

Lots of glamorous, fun, and chic styles that are perfect for everyone.

We even

made sure to include comfy and luxe sleepwear for your next girl's night in.

So, while several fans have flocked to congratulate the women, several others criticized them for working with Shein, as the company has been accused of unethical business practices and copying work of other designers.

Someone said, Why Shein, though?

One of, if not the most problematic, clothing lines there is.

I guess the shoe fits.

Fucking rude.

Someone said, Shein is some of the cheapest, junkiest clothes.

It's fitting.

This is mean.

I have a hot take here.

Oh, wow.

Because Because you know, I'm not like Teresa's fan.

No.

First of all, everyone works with Shein.

Like, why is it coming down on the Doorders?

No, and just like trying to be like industrial self-starting women.

They got a, this is the brand that gave them a collab.

Right.

And they took it.

No, and by the way, maybe not everyone works with Shein, but they work with a different variety.

Fashion researchers.

Yohoo, pretty little thing.

ASOS, like all who really do this.

HM, all who really.

Fashion Nova.

All who really...

Fashion Nova.

All who, Shein takes the brunt of it, but they all have very similar business practices that are problematic.

Yeah, that are fast fashion, that are copying other people, that are made of crap, that are bad for the environment.

Why is this coming down on the Judais girls' shoulders who are just trying to like provide for their families?

I'm sure they sell like restitution.

They're not turning down business opportunities.

Agreed.

This is not their problem.

I agree.

Like fast fashion falling on the shoulders of Melania Judais.

A Gabriella Judais.

A Gabriella Judais.

It feels wrong.

It feels wrong and it feels misplaced.

And to be honest, I think like this is a great fit for them brand-wise.

Like,

who if not, Teresa and her daughters, like, is going to do a brand collab with Shein, you know?

Yeah, Piara Ferrogni is not going to do it.

No, and it's a big opportunity for them.

They are like little influencers on their own.

This is probably the kind of clothes they wear.

This is the kind of clothes their followers wear.

Like, if you want to take on fast fashion, like, don't start with the little person who's just trying to, you know, pay back their restitution.

Right.

No.

And if we want to talk about fast fashion, like, we also need to talk about like the lack of options otherwise.

Like, I don't see a ton of ethically made $10 shirts.

I don't see,

especially when I like needed to shop for bigger sizes, like good luck getting anything in a 14 or above that's not made in a sweatshop.

Like we need to wear clothes.

Yeah.

So like let's talk about lack of options.

It's not like she could have done a partnership with another company that makes, you know, ethically sourced, responsibly affordable clothing.

Like there aren't options.

Yeah.

So if we want to like go in on fast fashion, there's a conversation to be had here, but like I don't think think the Judices

I don't think tearing the good Judice name down is gonna, is gonna be helpful here.

It's not gonna be affected.

Haven't you been there enough?

Haven't they been there enough?

Not me thinking defending Shein today.

Yeah, or the Judices.

Crazy.

But just crazy things happen every day on this show.

No, and it's like things are just being put in perspective.

Yeah.

So I think this is mean.

Those tweets were mean.

Like, you can comment on the state of fast fashion without saying it's fitting.

Yeah.

Then I'm not taking you seriously because you're mean.

It's so true.

So

I stand with the Judices today.

And the Jews.

We stand with the Jew dices.

We do.

Our fifth and final story.

That needs to be our title.

The Jew dices.

Standing with the Judices.

Like J-E-W.

Right.

Unless you don't think it would translate verbally, orally.

I don't know.

It might be confusing.

We'll take a look.

Yeah, we'll assess after.

Maybe there's something yet to come that would make an amazing title.

The best is yet to come.

Our fifth and final story.

The winning Powerball jackpot ticket worth $1.765 billion sold in California.

This is the second largest prize ever.

It's always in fucking California.

The fourth billion-dollar jackpot in history.

All of them sold in California.

You mean all of them?

They're going to have to split it?

No, no, no.

All of the billion-dollar jackpots are from California.

We need a documentary on this.

It's giving McMonopolies

McMillions.

I don't know if people talk about it's always California.

And I understand, understand, like, if there have been $4 billion prizes and California is so big, maybe two of them.

Like, I understand how population ratios work.

Suspicious.

I have a thought.

One, California is a huge state, so population ratios, as you said.

But let's talk about

the people of California.

And, you know, they're a city of dreamers.

LA is the city of dreams.

They might just be a morlotto ticket buying town.

No, California is so big, like north to south, like LA is not even California.

But maybe.

And by the way, it's never sold in LA proper.

It's like always like somewhere completely random.

No, but maybe the heart of the Californian people is to dream.

And everyone else in the country is like more realistic.

They're like, you know, this is a waste of money.

It's a stroke.

Like, to dream.

They're dreamers.

And their dreams came true.

No.

And the rest of the country maybe is a little more sensible.

So you're saying they manifested it and nobody else did.

That sounds like a lot of people.

I'm like, they're buying lotto tickets and no one else.

Not no one else is.

No way.

But they're buying more lotto tickets like per capita than the rest of the country because like their souls are the souls of a dream.

No, like I'm telling you, nobody on the planet is buying more lotto tickets than people in Florida.

Like that's just a fact.

Well, they also win too a lot.

They do.

They're also a big state.

What is it?

No, I know what you're saying, by the way, like lottery tickets and like being obsessed with lottery.

It's cultural.

Like it definitely is.

I completely agree.

I'm just not buying that the dreamers of California proper are dreaming this into existence.

Like I'm just not buying it.

No, they're just like buying at a higher volume.

Their probability is higher because they are of the elk who dream.

They are of the elk who dream.

No, let me ask you another question.

Get your iPad back.

What's considered the poorest state in the country in terms of like, is that a stat, like GDP kind of thing?

Yes, I'm sure.

Can I guess?

Sure.

Do you want to?

Yeah, I don't know if I feel like they could get you canceled.

Like, no, okay, this is in West Virginia?

This is by the poverty rate, but that's not what we're saying.

No, I guess poverty rate.

Which would be by individual.

Who cares what the legislation has there?

I want to say West Virginia.

Ugh, they're making me download the graphic.

Hold on.

Wait.

The port.

Mississippi.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing on this graphic.

Interesting.

And then West, and then New Mexico, and then Arkansas.

Nope, Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico,

Arkansas, West Virginia.

Okay, that was a good guess by me.

Yeah.

So I would expect like more dreamer mentality from the poor states.

Like would that have high poverty rates?

Dreaming is priceless.

You can't put a price on a dream.

It's just, it's a, it's a mental, like it's not about,

it's not about that.

It's not about statistics.

It's about dreams.

Like it's just about

like, like, rich or poor, you can dream.

You know, it doesn't have to be,

You don't have to have a certain amount or not a certain amount to dream like it's free dreaming is okay.

So you're arguing against yourself because if dreaming is free then everyone would equally dream.

That's true.

It wouldn't be specific to California.

That's a good point.

But I just think that they are the elk who dream

I think they have dreamers' souls.

The Elk who dream

You know what, Jackie?

I agree.

They dare to dream.

I feel like even in those

California propaganda commercials where they're like, come, it's great.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

I feel like it's like California, like, we got a dream.

And then he's like on the surface.

Yeah.

What is up with like states having commercials?

Like, and I want to say I've only seen it for California, Michigan, and New York.

Well, because they're suffering, but I have also seen it, I think, for North Dakota.

Never.

No, never.

And I get that it's like a bid to increase

to increase tourism.

And people moving there.

You know, and that increases revenue and creates jobs.

Like, I totally get the mathematics, but like the concept of a state having a commercial is so, like, just goes against everything I believe and understand, you know?

Yeah.

It's, I remember the first time I saw it, Michigan went fucking hard, where like it was a river and then the river turned into the word Michigan.

Like they went so hard with their propaganda.

Like they were the first ones to do it.

I will give them the credit for being like, you know, thought leaders, thought leaders in their field.

But it's something I really can't get on board with.

That's like when you talked about hospitals that have commercials.

Weird.

I feel like I didn't realize because it's not like there's so many hospitals that it's like, you know what?

This one had better commercials.

I'm gonna go to that one.

Like you always go to like the one that's closest.

Right.

I guess not everything's always an emergency and you do get to choose.

Yeah, but you would choose based on your doctor.

And your doctor chooses.

Like if you're a WGIN, it's like your hospital is associated, your doctor is associated with a hospital.

Yeah, but also, I never realized this, and I'll explain when I did realize it, but but

drugs companies, commercials.

It's like, don't you just take what you don't go to your doctor and be like, I saw a commercial for AstraZeneca.

Yeah, it's so weird.

And I didn't even notice that until people in the UK were watching Megan and Harry on Oprah and all the commercials for drug companies.

They were like, oh, they don't have that there?

They don't have that there.

And then it made me see it differently.

I'm like, by the way, that's an amazing point.

I don't like go to my neurologist and say, I saw a commercial for this migraine medication.

Actually, though?

First half, first of all.

And it shouldn't.

First of all, speaking of migraines, migraines, nobody is doing more than NERTEC OTD.

Yeah.

Lady Gaga and Chloe Kardashian as their sponsors.

Like, I mean, spokesperson.

I'm a migraine sufferer, and I still haven't, like, brought it up to my doctor.

Okay, but you know what?

Because I trust my doctor more than Lady Gaga and Chloe Kardashian.

Don't you feel like that might be changing now?

Like, with Ozempic?

Like, that's a drug people are requesting to be on.

Whereas before, like, they would go in with an ailment and say, give me the best stuff.

Right now, Ozempic isn't even getting like the Nurtec OTD treatment.

It's actually getting the opposite.

Yeah, but they, and they, by the way, they do have commercials.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Zembic.

Obsessed.

Talk to your dog.

And, but even their commercials don't address it being used as a treatment for weight loss.

It's all about insulin resistance.

Yeah.

So that's a very interesting point.

And I love that Megan and Harry brought that to us.

In addition to a strong statement yesterday.

Yeah.

What else is weird that they have commercials for?

During the Super Bowl moment, there was like a commercial for Jesus.

Oh, yeah.

But I think in the end, that ended up being like a commercial for like a nonprofit or something.

Yes.

I also think that commercials in general,

it's just like who's actually influenced by this commercial?

Like we as a species.

Is this really going to change what brand of cookies I'm going to buy?

As a species, we are so evolved past commercials, like traditional TV commercials.

There are some things if it's a new product and I see a commercial for it, like I might

be, you know, helps.

But like to see a commercial for Doritos, like I either want to buy Doritos or I don't at this point.

Like I've tasted them.

I know when I want a Dorito.

So I feel like with the Dorito, like I think I put them in the category of like Clorox.

Like, they're doing the commercials seriously, like, just to keep up appearances.

Like, it's not.

But it's expensive.

Yeah, but like, they have.

They're all in like this rat race because I guess if Doritos dropped off, but like other cheap ladies is coming out.

Like, I might forget about Doritos.

Right.

I mean, I could never, but I know what you're saying.

It just, it makes me think all the time, like.

You guys don't need a Super Bowl commercial.

Like, that's a lot of money.

Donate it.

I actually disagree, but of course, donate.

But it's a rat race is what it is.

Yeah, when I think of commercials, but to me, there's no marketing more effective than a Super Bowl commercial when done right.

But even for a Doritos commercial,

I think there is like the Farmer's Draw commercial, like a new brand, you're hearing about it, and it tugs at your heart.

But for Doritos, it's like, I'm either going to eat Doritos or I'm not.

No, because it's a brand awareness, like an image thing.

Like, Doritos is such a cool brand.

Like, I always feel like they're partnering with cool people because they're keeping up appearances.

Like, it's a cool factor.

Yeah.

Is it effective?

It must be.

Like, it must be.

I think for some products and businesses, it's so effective.

And for others, I just feel like it's a waste of, like, Oreos.

Like, I either want an Oreo or I don't.

And your commercial is not going to change that.

But the thing is, do you ever not want an Oreo?

If I'm like picking out cookies in the aisle, like if it's going to be Oreo or Chips Ahoy, like that decision's not going to be suede based on a commercial.

No, because it's always going to be an Entomen's.

And Entimen's doesn't run commercials.

But they're also like not as popular.

Because they don't have to.

But they're not as popular.

Because they don't run commercials.

I am.

Or because it's a smaller business.

It's a smaller business business because i don't run commercials
