The Mark Has Mice: Tuesday, June 27th, 2023

Good morning millennials and welcome back to the toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Hope everyone's having an amazing day.

Just amazing.

I'm having an amazing day.

Why are you having an amazing day, Turdy Lou?

Why am I having an amazing day?

Oh, I don't know, because it's a Jackson Claude in recipe.

In recipe, in studio original recipe kind of day.

That is a great day.

Yeah, that's my reason.

That's your reason.

It's the only reason you need.

And it's reason enough.

It's reason enough for me.

Hey, guys, happy to be back in studio with my girly swirly.

Twirly.

but it is getting harder and harder to get ready in the morning it's not even like what you think like the getting dressed like i know i have for clothes yeah i have the items and i just pair them you know mix and match but it's just like the doing my hair yeah the standing for that you look beautiful thank you and we're so glad that you you put you got it together yeah it's just it's crazy because

We stopped podcasting when I was pregnant with Harry.

We stopped coming into the studio because like Omnico

was popping off.

Yeah.

So we did remote podcasting for like the last two months of my pregnancy.

So I don't know if I've ever been in the studio this pregnant.

Well, it's so great to have you both here.

It's just, it's hard to get around.

And like, it's hard to sit because I can't cross my legs really.

It's not good for my circulation.

Oh.

So I'm, I'm like.

Man spreading a little bit.

Yeah.

But also I saw a reels/slash TikTok that said like you're actually, even though you assume pregnant women sit like this, which is like legs spread back,

like lean back, it's not good for your circulation either.

You're supposed to sit like

forward.

I feel like the cave women were fine, you know?

I don't know, but they didn't have these reclining Google chairs.

Yeah, I will say these Google chairs are not like pregnancy friendly.

No, I'm not uncomfortable.

I just don't, it's just not like pleasant to look at.

You look great.

I'm just trying to figure.

Figure it out, but drop a comment.

How should I do it?

How should I sit?

Sound off in the comments.

I feel like Joey Camasta.

But these chairs are hard to sit in.

And we didn't even, like, we got rid of our old pink couches because those were actually hard to sit in.

Yes.

And now we have these new chairs.

We thought we were like entering a new era.

And we're not.

Maybe it's just like chairs.

Maybe it's us.

No, maybe it's chairs and not us.

Because look, we've tried.

That's a terrible chair.

Yeah.

That's a terrible chair.

I just think it's hard.

The thrones were bad.

Actually, the thrones were not bad.

I just think it's hard to be.

To exist.

Yeah.

It's so Socrates.

You want to hear something funny?

Sure.

Did you have a choice?

No.

ben went to dinner last night and he was gone for like four hours he went to dinner at the mark like the fancy hotel uptown where like everyone stays for the met ball and he came home and he was like the weirdest thing happened as he was leaving dinner there was like a protest outside the mark and Ben was like chanting it the whole night.

They were saying the most random things.

The mark has mice.

The mark denies the Holocaust.

The mark supports Epstein.

And Ben was like, how are these three things related?

First of all.

second of all, I went on Twitter to try to see what like the drama with the mark.

There was nothing.

Ben said it was like six people standing outside with signs.

It wasn't like an organized protest.

But the mark has mice.

The mark denies the Holocaust.

The mark supports Epstein.

And I tried to look into the veracity of.

It feels like a riddle.

Literally.

I tried to look into the veracity of these claims and I came up with nothing.

And it's like, if the mark has mice, like, don't you think that they feel bad about that too?

Like, you're going to protest.

Rub it out.

Also, in this city, we're going to protest mice?

No, in this city, who doesn't have mice?

Right, but like mice are like kind of the sweet ones in this city.

It could be a rat or a roach.

Rats run this town.

They do.

Super roach.

Ben was literally in the shower.

Super roach.

Yeah.

Super rat, I think it was.

The rats that were eating other rats.

Rat on rat crime.

Right.

It was called a super rat.

But I do think the roach have become super as well.

The roaches, yeah.

They've always been super.

So true.

So Ben is literally in the shower.

The mark has mice.

Literally walking around the house making his coffee.

The mark has mice.

It's so funny.

And I honestly, like, I don't know what's what's going on at the mark.

And so it's the mark supports Epstein.

I think, like, one time, Jeffrey Epstein stayed at the mark.

That's where, like, all rich people stay.

I don't think it's, you know, a conspiracy that they were in on it.

Whoever brushed shoulders or sheltered or hung out, Jeffrey Epstein, like, was accused at one point.

Yeah, if we're protesting them all, like, you're all done.

Right.

So

I don't know what's going on, but all I know is the mark has mice.

And now I'm over here.

And then it denies the Holocaust.

Which is a real accusation.

I hate when the hotel that I'm staying at denies the Holocaust.

Then I just, I cannot be there.

Dude, I hate when you can't even check in without the concierge being like, the Holocaust never happened.

It's so annoying.

I hate when that happens.

It happens all the time.

Very frequently.

So I could, I totally believe that.

Me too.

And I also believe the mark has mice.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Maybe I got to go to the mark.

Allegedly.

Chuck it out.

By the way, these things are all alleged.

And the mark is a lovely hotel.

And basically the food was.

that I would love to stay at.

Yeah, I've never stayed there.

I've eaten there.

Same.

We had my college graduation dinner there.

And none of those things that they're chanting would stop me from wanting to stay there.

No, me neither.

Honestly.

No, it's still fabulous.

100%.

Mice and all.

No, like, seriously, mice is like, okay, cool.

No, like, in the grand scheme of, like, the vermin we get here in New York, mice, I think, are the cleanest option.

Even though, I don't know, I think I would prefer a bug.

A roach.

I know.

Roaches are disgusting, but they're so small.

Like, mice are like animals.

I know.

That's why I got to get a cat.

That's, I'd rather have the mice.

The mark should unleash a herd of cats.

No.

That's what they did in Israel.

Yeah, I know.

If you ever have been to Israel, like you're eating at a restaurant, they have like thousands of cats roaming the streets.

And it's because not at the same time, but like if you're just out and about, like you will see

stray cats.

And it's because like many, many years ago, they had a mice problem.

So they released

cats just to live.

And now they have a cat problem.

And that's the plot of the movie Cats.

Spoiler alert.

Is it?

No.

It should be.

By the way, I've never seen the movie Cats.

I have nary a clue what the film is about.

If I had to guess the plot,

I think I would say it's a ragtag group of cats

who start a theater group.

I just have in my head from Kimmy Schmidt that it's just cats introducing themselves.

Yeah, well, that whole thing in Kimmy Schmidt was hysterical.

So it's obviously like

a mystery what the plot of cats is.

Right, it's not like a known thing, clearly.

And it's not memorable.

Yeah.

And it's not about the plot.

I think it's about the cats.

Right.

Meow.

Ringer.

Ring here, kitty.

Oh, Michael's crossing her legs.

Don't tell the doctor.

Dead.

I'm calling him up.

So that's what I did last night, just kind of look into the mark.

Got it.

And their litany.

of accusations.

And oh, I caught up on, and just like that, I know you didn't watch the second episode, but it was worse than the first.

It It was

until you stop.

But I can't.

That's the thing.

And I think a lot of people, because I posted it on my story, agree, like, it's actually harmful to keep watching.

It's a form of self-harm.

Yeah.

But you literally can't stop.

Like, if I were on a monitor while I was watching, like, my levels would be, like, spiking, like heart rate, like, just.

whatever else they monitor, like, it was giving me a physical visceral reaction.

I know, but there are a few like really

endearing characters, like Anthony.

Of course.

Anthony's the best.

And because Samantha's gone, he obviously got a bigger role.

And it's the role he was born to play.

Like he's so funny.

LTW, Lisa Todd Wexley, I thoroughly enjoy.

I actually would enjoy a Lisa Todd Wexley spin-off.

She has a fabulous life, but oh my God, and I hate to say it, like Charlotte?

I'm sorry.

And actually, I know Miranda's like having this like spiral moment in Santa Monica, but she was being really funny in the second episode.

Oh, and one of our favorite actors, Oliver Hudson, Kate Hudson's brother, is in it.

Oh, that's a plus.

Yeah, I like it.

They've always had plenty of good cat news.

I don't know LTW because I only watched the first episode and she was just like in her closet in lingerie the whole time working on her film vlog.

Yeah, well, so she working on her vlog.

And she keeps losing her edits.

And I was like, she lost her edit again this episode.

That's so funny.

She literally did like right before they were going to the Metball.

So

she is one of the moms at Charlotte's school.

And in the first season, like Charlotte was obsessed with her, like wanted to become her friend, and actually did end up becoming her friend.

And all the ladies really like her.

So, that's like who she is in the context of the show.

Okay.

And she was probably the only one who looked even remotely good at the Met Ball.

Actually, Seema looked good too.

I only saw like half the looks so far.

Carrie wore her wedding dress.

Yawn.

Oh my God.

And that seamstress, the designer.

Yeah, that was weird.

Like, and Carrie's just like allowing this girl to just ruin her.

Run amok in her home.

Right.

That was.

It was six hours and she didn't want to like run to Bergdorfs.

No.

Just in case.

Or even look at her clothes or call a friend or contact

in the biz.

Oh, so in the second episode, I do think you'll find it interesting that Carrie's podcast got canceled.

No.

So she goes, well, that frees up my week and now she doesn't have a job.

Oh, wow.

I wonder what she'll do next.

I know.

Because she's really always been so career-oriented.

So you notice she's a widow now.

She like doesn't, I think she was career-oriented, but she also like needed to work to live.

Right.

She sold that apartment big

and her lived in.

She obviously got everything from his will and he had an,

Oh, you didn't see that the first season in his will.

He obviously left everything to Carrie, but he had like a million-dollar trust set up for Natasha.

And she spent like a couple episodes trying to figure out why.

And I think it was just like his way of saying sorry.

But so we had like a spare millie.

Right, right, right.

She's fine.

Oh, she's fine.

Oh, and she's still in the apartment and lives in her studio.

I'm not worried about her finances actually for the first time in the history of the show.

It's such a relief.

Just like her, her purpose, her rison d'étaire.

Yeah, yeah.

But I think a lot of her purpose in the beginning, her career-driven, like her ambitiousness, was driven by, you know, the need to pay bills.

Of course, but that's a need.

Yeah.

But I'm saying now.

Yeah.

What's her rison des terre?

I don't know.

Something to think about.

And I feel like henceforth, the show doesn't have a risen d'eterre.

Yeah, no, it feels kind of aimless.

Like Carrie.

Like Carrie.

Maybe it's a reflection of what she's going through.

Or just the fact that they can't come up with new show ideas.

Yeah.

So that's what I did.

Hurt myself.

Why was her podcast canceled?

The whole network went downhill.

Oh, so it wasn't because it wasn't a personal attack.

Damn.

I think it would have been better.

Damn, I would have loved to see her go down like that.

Just like when she fell in Dior.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

That's like one of the best episodes when she falls in Dior.

Larry falling in Dior is a reward for getting through all the seasons of Sex in the City.

There's also an episode where she falls on that catwalk.

She does like a modeling thing for like real people and models.

Yeah.

And she completely falls in, and she's only wearing a pair of underwear.

Yeah, that was that, that's bad.

That was good, but it doesn't hit.

It doesn't hit because also the fall into yours, like during the Petrovsky episodes, where she's insufferable.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it's just like, it's just more.

There you go.

They, and there she went.

Yeah.

So what else is, what did, what'd you watch?

What'd you do?

What'd you see?

What do you know?

Did I watch anything?

No, I tried to like have a moment like with the Martian again.

I just like put on a movie.

Recreate the magic.

I don't even think I turned on the the tv but i didn't read i think i was just kind of like around on my phone that's the best and then i went to sleep early because i was really tired but i did watch a little bit of murder on the orient express i like that movie yesterday we loved that movie and it was like i only watched the last 30 minutes it was like emotional oh okay i think that's you i think it was me too yeah it's like a pregnancy thing it's not like a real i don't know it's not a reality thing but like it's a spoiler alert major spoiler It's a revenge killing and like all of the people who participate in it on the train are connected.

are connected and it was because like this little baby girl was killed and then like i guess her parents maybe committed suicide like it just destroyed this whole family and it was just like i guess it is like kind of a deep tragedy and the grandma is the one who spearheaded the whole revenge revenge and michelle pfeiffer just like

she spoke my heart she stole my heart

yeah penelope cruise is also in the movie and her acting was actually atrocious wow um

and that was just something i wanted to note something else i wanted to note is that I could not sleep last night.

I didn't go to bed till 2.

It was so annoying.

Ben's passed out.

And I had to pee.

And I was like literally so afraid that the thing would happen again.

We're like, Ben.

So did you turn the light on?

I turned the light on.

I was so loud.

I flushed.

I'm like,

just in case he was getting up and had to pee.

All good.

The light should have sufficed.

Yeah, it should have.

But like, I was just taking a bunch of precautions.

Great.

You learn something new every day.

And I did, in fact, make a chili.

I didn't.

Ben did.

I brought a big old Tupperware for Jax to the studio today she's gonna bring it home I think Harry's gonna have it and it is still a chilly day the weather has held up the weather for like the last week is like trash yeah it doesn't know what it's doing to hot girls summer it feels like impending rain at all time but there's like major storms throughout the country so if all we have is gray skies and a chili vibe consider ourselves lucky i'm not complaining so enjoy the chili i will say so ben wasn't ben was once again being very generous making the chili for me he was headed out to his dinner i told you about at the mark where they have mice and deny the Holocaust.

And

so he made it for me, and he was like, I'm letting it simmer, like eat it whenever it's on low.

So then I go and I'm like mixing it, making sure it's not getting burnt.

And I realize he forgot to put the beans in.

The beans have become just like this kind of thing.

Your guy says like a killie seal.

Yeah.

So I text Ben.

I'm like, oh shit, like the beans weren't put in.

What do I do?

And he didn't answer.

So I just threw the beans in.

I was on FaceTime with you.

Yeah.

I threw the beans in and I let it chill on the stove for like 20 minutes.

And then I got hungry.

So I made myself a bowl, packed it all up in Tupperware, did the dish so I could enjoy the rest of my night.

And turns out the chili was great, except for the beans.

Like the one thing I had to do, it just, it wasn't right.

It wasn't like when Ben made it.

Thus proving your point that I'm quite literally incapable of making one thing in the kitchen that's not toxic.

No, it's so crazy.

Like the one, I just had to pour beans in, mix it up, and chill, right?

Yeah.

Couldn't even do that.

Yeah, because also, and the error there was your sweeping ways because you should, you could have had like your bowl of chili with premature beans.

They're already cooked.

It's fine.

But I could have left the big vat that I made for you just chill.

And let the rest of the chili be perfection.

I couldn't, maybe anyone can relate to this.

Like I couldn't really enjoy my night and like enjoy the chili and like get back in bed.

Like I couldn't enjoy that knowing I still had dishes to do.

Like I need to have a clean sweep of things, like a clean plate.

literally before I can like fully dive into the night, if that makes sense.

No, I understand, but now we all we all suffer.

We all suffer.

Well, I think you can just dump the Tupperware back onto the stove.

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

Let it it simmer.

Your whole house will smell like chili.

It's so nice.

Right, and I'll get to like kind of hack the chili vibe.

And then it's like you made it yourself.

Yeah, without all the chopping.

Without all the chopping.

There's, it's a really good, we're in our chicken chili era.

We're like kind of over beef.

Oh, another crazy thing that happened to me.

No, no, no, no, guys.

I was just

reminded of this too.

This is, this is what I was doing yesterday.

This story occupied my whole day.

My whole day.

The great mystery of 2023.

So after yesterday's episode, if you listened to yesterday's episode, you know I wanted to make a chili.

Jackie inspired me.

I was even saying on the episode, she should Instacart the ingredients now.

And I did, because I had to work and I had things to do.

I didn't have time to go to the grocery store.

So I Instacart one order from Faraway, which is just like a regular grocery store here.

I got like the beans, all the things, except the meat.

The Bains, Bains.

The Bains, Bains, onions, garlic, peppers, whatever we needed.

And then like stuff in my house, too.

Like I need a coffee bait.

And then I placed a second order at Park East Kosher Butcher, which is a favorite location of ours, Upper East.

Our University Butcher.

Our go-to butcher.

I only recently found out there on Instacart, which I love.

Game-changing.

So I got the ground chicken, but then I also got things for my house.

Ben loves this brand of kosher turkey called SV or whatever.

So I'm placing the orders, going about my day, and then the shopper starts texting me.

And he said, oh, they don't have the SV turkey, the one that Ben loves.

And I find that so odd because, like, it's a staple of the Parkies kosher butcher.

I'm like, oh, okay, like, what else do they have?

And he sends me a picture of the turkey aisle.

And the deli meats.

The deli meats.

Packaged.

To the

untrained eye, it might not have seemed like anything.

But I'm like zooming in and I see pork bacon, Oscar Meyer bologna.

I see like Applewood brand, Oscar Meyer brand, all these very classic grocery store brands that are not sold at a kosher butcher because they're not kosher.

Yeah.

It was literally a whole picture of the bacon, bologna, pork and sausage.

And it wasn't turkey bacon.

It was literally like pork.

Yeah, we zoomed in.

You could see pork and sausage.

So I'm like, wait, oh, this might be my fairway order driver.

And then I'm like, no.

I'm like, are you at Park East?

He's like, yeah.

I'm like, what is going on?

I'm going back and forth with this guy.

He's like, I'm at Park East.

I'm like, send me a picture of the store.

Because if he goes to the butcher and gets ground chicken, I can't eat that.

Right.

So I'm like, send me a picture of the store.

He's literally sending me a picture.

He's in Park East.

I'm like, what is going on?

He sends you a picture of the chicken.

I said, can you send me a picture of the ground chicken from the actual butcher station?

He sends me a picture of the ground chicken.

It has the sticker with Park East on it.

Like, what in the world is going on?

So I'm like, okay, I'll just, I'm like, thinking I'm going to wait and see what shows up at my door.

Right.

And I call Park East and I'm like, well, because what showed up at your door?

What showed up at my door was, oh, the SV turkey that he said he couldn't find, the kosher brand, and the ground chicken with the label on it from Park East.

Correct came in your order.

So I call Park East and I'm like, I know this is a crazy question.

I've been shopping for literally 15 years at your store.

Do you guys sell bacon?

The lady pretty much like laughed in my face.

She was like, no, is it kosher butcher, ma'am?

I'm like, like, no bacon.

She's like, we sell like turkey fake bacon, facing.

I'm like, no, no, like real bacon.

She's like, no.

That's Mr.

Meyer.

I'm like, okay, thank you so much.

I have no idea.

Like the mystery remains a mystery.

I have to imagine perhaps he went to the wrong store at first.

And then when I was like, wait, are you at Park East?

He realized and like ran across the street to Park East.

I don't know.

It was a mystery beyond mystery.

He was like gaslighting me.

Yeah.

It was so crazy.

Oh my God, I was chuckling.

So there's a small chance that you're

turning kosher.

No, no, it was totally kosher.

Like the packaging was totally fine.

It's just where did that picture come from?

Maybe it was like a stock image he had, like just from previous shops.

Perhaps.

And he wasn't being like overly communicative.

He thought I was annoying.

Yeah.

But he was.

He was like, hey.

Yeah.

After that saga, he like just messaged, hey.

Yeah, after the whole thing, he's like, hey, I'm like, what's up?

He's like, your card's been declined.

I'm like, what?

that's not how it works because like my

you wouldn't be shopping with instacart if my instacart order didn't go through i used apple pay and i called and it was such drama it was such i called instacart and i'm like did my card get declined they're like no your shopper couldn't be shopping if your card was declined i'm like that's what i thought

I eventually just like I let go and let God and the whole thing arrived perfectly all worked out and it all worked out and I had a good laugh and we got a big vat of chili what's better nothing nothing so that's what I did yesterday.

Love that.

Yeah.

Love that.

So we've got a great show.

We do.

It's Tuesday.

You said there's an abundance of stories.

Yeah, there were like a lot of little stories that I could have spoken about.

I had to trim too.

Love that.

Yeah.

Maybe they'll make it into tomorrow's episode.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

They're not really pertinent, but none of the stories are like big news stories.

They're just like things in which to discuss.

And interesting things full of interesting factoids.

And some interesting people, but no one more interesting than The Camper and the Counselor.

No one.

Which is my forthcoming children's book that is available for pre-order now anywhere you pre-order books.

Amazon, Indiebound, Walmart, Target, Tertullia, Books a Million.

I love Books a Million.

Million Books.

Books a Million.

Goodreads Goals.

Goodreads was down.

I know.

Goodreads was down yesterday.

I tried to rate my book.

Like, what?

The internet.

And then Spotify was giving us trouble yesterday.

We believe our Spotify issue is fixed.

I know.

And it was specific to us.

Yeah, I know Spotify, our episode from Friday and yesterday, like we're not uploading.

They're both uploaded now, and I believe we fixed the issue, but we'll see what happens today.

But I think we're good.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, but I'm sorry, like Goodreads being down, that's not

crazier than when like Instagram goes down.

Yeah.

I just don't think people realize like

what a cornerstone Goodreads is in our lives.

I completely agree.

So it fucked with me.

It was crazy.

So you can also find the Camper and the Council on Goodreads, where it does count towards your Goodreads reading goal.

You should add it to your

read it multiple times.

Multiple, multiple times.

The amount of times that I've read this, I could have read a full book, so it counts.

It totally counts.

Yeah, so check it out, get your pre-orders in, and thank you.

Not to be also like so self-promo-y for both of us, but also at five o'clock today, Eastern time, I'm doing another Amazon Live.

Oh my gosh, I know where I'll be.

With the snitch, we're doing like summer essentials, how to get through summer, you know, portable fans, outfits that don't chafe, things like that.

It's like the summer survival guide.

Amazon Live, you can, I'll post a link on my story.

5 p.m.

Eastern Time.

Sorry, Jackson.

I don't want to like step on your self-defense.

No, no, no.

I'm excited to watch.

I actually love doing it.

While I like suppress my jealousy.

I know.

Because you said that you guys would be girly swirlying.

And

I identify as a girly swirly.

You identify as a girly who does, in fact, swirly.

Right.

So.

It'll be tough.

It'll be tough, but I am going to enjoy.

I loved your guys's last one.

And it's always good to see what the snitch is up to.

It's always good to see like what the hot items for summer are.

It's so true.

I was very influenced by your last

on Amazon.

I got that Luke Combs t-shirt.

Right.

So I think I got a travel bag.

Great.

So I look forward to seeing what you guys put forth tonight.

Some good stuff coming.

I want to spoil it.

Now without further ado to do to do, here are the fast five stories that you do need to know.

And you do need to know that's the fast five stories that you do need to know.

Are brought to you by Caraway.

Perfect segue from our chili.

Chili.

Caraway cookware is non-toxic and chemical-free, so you can fill your summer with your favorite recipes without any worry.

So Caraway is the best of the best when it comes to cookware, bakeware sets, food storage solutions.

I made my chili last night in the Caraway.

I'm sure you'll be reheating your chili in your caraway.

I I will be because I have a caraway set here because I literally could not get by without caraway.

Like, do I want toxins in my food?

Right.

Thank you.

That's what's great about caraway, non-toxic cookware.

Right, and I also can't be like, you know, standing over the sink, like scrubbing all the scum.

Ceramic coated.

Ceramic-coated, non-stick.

It's the craziest thing, like, to watch it all just slip off the pan.

And especially when you're making a chili and then, you know, you can get like that crustace at the bottom because it cooks for a long time.

You're susceptible to scrubbing.

Not with caraway.

You're susceptible to crustacean.

On the lips.

Yeah, Jackie, I don't think I've ever seen him so nervous in his life.

He was like, like, right now, it was on the after show.

Then she also told this crazy story about what happened to her at the Aeristor.

Because she knows she loves Bravo.

And I had actually heard this story from Craig Conover.

We went to the Aristotle together, but this was a different Aristotle.

So in New York.

Where did she go?

I think Philly.

Okay.

But in New York, I went to the Aeristor with Paige and Craig.

And we like spent a lot of time together.

And in the car ride home, he told me the story.

And he told me the story like from his perspective.

And then she told the story from her perspective, and they were so different.

So, Jennifer Lawrence was hers.

Jennifer Lawrence went on my shopping live and she was like, so funny.

I was at the Eris tour, and I was just like living my best life, yada, yada.

And this woman comes like, because they're at this tent in the middle of the floor, like anyone can go up to the zone.

The celebrity tent.

The celebrity tent.

This woman comes with her phone and like shoves it in Jennifer's face.

She like beelines past security, and it's a FaceTime with Craig.

And

Craig, excuse me.

And she's like, Craig is just like kind of sitting on the other phone, like on the other end of the line, expectantly expectantly being like, Yeah, hey, it's me.

And when Craig told the story, he was like, I had no idea.

Like, I don't think I, I, I, I didn't even know where this person was.

All of a sudden, Jennifer Lawrence is on the other end of the phone and he's like, hey, so Craig's perspective and her perspective were very different.

Got it.

So she was like being a little shady.

That Craig was like, hey, look at me.

Yeah, like, oh yeah, it's me, Jennifer Lawrence, like calling up.

And Craig, who was this woman?

I don't remember.

He told me, but I don't remember like the connection.

I don't want to like misspeak.

I don't know.

Weird story.

Yeah.

but I was like, oh my God, I've heard this story, but I heard it so differently.

Craig was like, I literally was like out.

I had no idea why this person was calling me.

Next thing I know, Jennifer Lawrence is on the phone.

Oh, that's so weird.

We need to identify the woman and she needs to explain herself.

Yeah, and her connection to everyone.

Yeah, well, she obviously like knows Craig from wherever, and he's like, Why is she calling me?

And he's waiting.

And this woman thinks she's a hero because Jennifer Lawrence loves Bravo and she and she has Craig's phone number.

Right.

It's all on this woman.

Yeah.

But this is also another story from the Jennifer.

She like, she went on and she made a bunch of news.

Got it.

and she looked so beautiful so beautiful she's literally looks unreal i know she's always she's literally the most beautiful woman person in the world but it's like the looks the styling the hair the makeup the long hair the long hair so she did um plead the fifth on watch what happens live last night and um

said that she would love to respond to the fling accusation that she had with Liam Hemsworth.

She said, and the rumor has been that like she and Liam on the set of that movie where they wake up on the thing.

Hunger Games?

Oh, sorry.

No, I was thinking of Chris Pratt, my bad.

There's another rumor.

I'm like, you mean the biggest movie?

Yeah, on the set of the Hunger Games, while he was with Miley, right?

Yeah, that they hooked up like at some point while they were together and while they were all, you know, filming.

Right.

And some of Miley's recent music like even plays into that.

Right.

So she said not true, total rumor.

However, she noted that she and Chris.

Which one?

What's Liam, sorry?

Liam.

I'm like, Luke.

Liam did kiss one time off screen.

It was years after the couple called it quits, though.

As for the rumors that Miley shaded Jennifer in her flowers music video in May by wearing a gold dress reminiscent of Jennifer's Hunger Games premiere look, Jennifer denied that as well.

She said, I just assume that was like a coincidence.

Right.

It's not like the most niche specific.

It's like a gold dress.

Yeah.

And so she said she hopes that fans are satisfied with her answer.

I totally believe her.

I believe her too.

Like, I don't think she needs to be out here like being a harlot, you know?

And she doesn't give that energy.

No, and I think, one, she wouldn't bring it up if

it were true.

And two, like, so much time has passed, and like, Miley and Liam, like, nobody still ships them anymore.

Like, if it was ancient history, because it would have been like 10 years ago at this point, like, she could say, you know, yeah, she could say, she could.

I wouldn't hold it against her.

No, and she needed to be like a little bit more overt in her, like, her hints in her music and stuff.

Yeah, but like, they were young.

They're on the biggest, like, movie.

They're overnight sensations.

Like, it's easy to get caught up.

Yeah.

If they had a little fling while he was with Miley, like, I think 10 years on, like, we could all move on from it.

I feel like Jennifer Lawrence does a really good job of like addressing rumors about herself head-on.

Like, for so long, there was like terrible rumors about her and Harvey Weinstein.

And in her Vogue 73 questions, it's clear she like wanted to clear it up.

What would she say?

I think the question was, like, what's the craziest thing you've ever heard about yourself?

Or something along those lines.

And she's like, that I slept with Harvey Weinstein.

Like, so direct.

And honestly, I believed her the second she said it.

Like, there's a, she has a really good way of like addressing things.

She doesn't do it in the moment, but she always does it.

And I like that.

Well, she's also not really accessible.

So there's no even

way that we expect her to address things in the moment.

She's not on Instagram.

She's not responding to everything, which puts her in a really nice place because then we're not sitting around waiting.

What does Jayla have to say?

She gives us nothing.

And then when she does things like this, it feels like she gives us everything.

Right.

And it feels like she's so honest and she's been wanting to say it for a while.

Yeah.

I believe this.

Yeah, I believe this too.

Because it's like harmless.

Yeah.

And it's so long.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

In a theme of people being unwell and needing to learn how to behave.

When were we talking about that?

It's just a common theme.

And you'll know what

I'm going to do too.

Pink, the artist, was stunned by a fan throwing her mother's ashes onto stage during show.

Pink was left gobsmacked after a concertgoer tossed a bag of their mother's ashes on stage during her headlining set at the British Summertime Festival in London over the weekend.

She picked up the plastic bag holding the cremated remains and said, Is this your mom?

With a shocked expression on her face, Pink then admitted, I don't know how I feel about this, before staggering to her feet and placing the ashes on the edge of the stage.

The pop star could also be seen shaking her hands as if trying to clean them behind a speaker before continuing to sing her song, Just Like a Pill, while still looking astounded.

Just as fast as I can, to the middle of nowhere, to the middle one of the face somewhere, And I swear.

I need to see Pink Live.

Yeah.

But not a shit like this is going to be going down.

People are deeply unwell.

People need to stop throwing things on stage.

People need to leave artists alone and just like go to a concert and enjoy it.

Like a human being.

And I'm sure there's like a sentimental reason behind this.

Like, I'm sure maybe they heard this girl's mom loved Pinky, whatever.

And if you want to, like, honestly.

Like, take your ashes to the concert with you.

Yeah, no, and like sprinkle them on the grass.

I agree.

Like, it's weird, but you know what?

Do it in your own private thing.

It to throw anything to an artist on stage, no matter what it is, even like a flower, like in this day and age, just don't.

Like, it's so weird.

And this, I mean, to be confronted with a bag of ashes of someone you don't know, I have to, I have to say, has happened to me

at summer camp.

Someone I know, you know, brought some of, you know, their parents' ashes with them.

And I had went into her, like, her cubby for a second to get something.

And I was like, oh, lol, what's this?

I had never seen ashes before.

You were snooping.

No, no, I believe I was asked to go into the cubby.

Like, I was invited into the cubby.

I wasn't snooping.

Okay, because it kind of feels like you were in someone's private space.

No, no.

I think she was like, go into my cubby and get that for me or something.

Something like that.

And I wasn't, I swear to God, I wasn't snooping.

And

there was like a bag of dirt.

And I had never seen ashes before.

I was really young.

And we don't do that in our faith.

We don't cremate.

So I literally picked it up.

I'm like, why do you have a bag of dirt?

And she was like, oh, that's my dad.

And I actually, I think I remembered crying.

Like, I was very

shook by it.

It was just like crazy.

And so, I feel for Pink, not to make everything about me.

No, literally.

Literally.

No, I'm just kind of

harking back to an experience that feels relevant here.

I don't think that's me making it about myself.

No, I feel like you can hark back to the experience.

Like, once we talked about how this could affect Pink, you know, because I didn't like give her the space to heal.

You didn't give her space.

No, I didn't.

I didn't create space for her either, which was really disgusting of me.

No, no, you've never created space.

No, not for a single other human being in my life.

But thank you for sharing, you know, my trauma your trauma how this might have impacted you and and how i'm now like feeling triggered but like this girl like she like yes she hurt pink but she also hurt me too because now i'm reliving that right and that's really hard for me that is really hard but it does remind me of the bb rex story from last week like just people not the same but different right that was that infuriated me i hope she presses charges yeah i mean he was arrested oh and i saw on tick tock last night i don't know if it's like verified or not but like he's like acting out on social media now Like,

you don't know how to catch?

No, no, the way I hate this person.

And I hope she took his phone and threw it into the water because they were at the pier.

Yeah, right.

She could have just tossed it right over the water.

And she took her big heel and she stomped on it.

Yeah.

This is so weird.

Like people,

and I think it's more reflective of the state of our culture.

That everyone's just like, want no, I don't know this person.

I don't know what their intentions were, but like it feels like you want attention.

Yeah.

Like this is a moment.

Like, or you're so deeply unwell that like

some part of you like thinks that giving pink your mom's ashes is a normal thing to do.

Right.

And like pink would appreciate it.

And that that's like acceptable behavior.

It's so weird.

And I kind of like that pink didn't play it off.

It's like, oh, I'm sorry for your life.

Like

you should feel weird.

You should be shamed.

I'm sorry.

I know you're probably grieving.

But like just to set the precedent, because now this video's gone viral.

And I think people see like artists like accept things from fans on videos online and be like, oh, I can do that too.

And like encourages that type of behavior.

So for her to kind of shame her and be like, well, this is weird.

I think it might deter other people from doing something similar.

Yeah, hopefully, but maybe not because attention is attention.

Right.

It's so weird.

And I'm sure the girl's like dying because like now it's major news.

And imagine having like ash on your hands.

And you're just trying to like sing and twirl in the air.

It's just.

I'm sure actually like the ashes did create like a nice grip.

You know, she's always grabbing onto poles and like doing flips and tricks.

And maybe it created a nice little friction for her.

You know how, like, like when you do

at gym, like, yeah, you put chalk on your hands before you lift.

So maybe it was like kind of a,

it was thoughtful of the group.

It was a helping hand.

I'm just trying to put a positive spin on a weird situation.

Yeah.

But I like where your head's at.

Yeah.

Overall, fucking weird.

And don't do this.

Like, just don't.

I don't feel like I have to say that because I feel like the toasters are like normal.

No, it's not the toasters who are doing this.

No.

But, I mean, throughout pop culture history, like, fans have thrown things on to sages, like bras.

Yep.

That's always been accepted.

Flowers, as you said.

Yeah, I just feel like in this day and age, like...

Everyone's on such high alert because such weird, crazy things happen.

That, like, if somebody comes flying at you, you don't know it's a flower.

And like, you, you spook a.

Of course.

And Kelly Clarkson was talking about that on the Howard Stern interview she did.

Just like something totally innocuous like

happens.

Like somebody, even when not to make everything about myself but like even when I'm doing like a show and like somebody gets up to go to the bathroom and the footsteps because of the acoustics on stage sometimes it can sound like the footsteps are coming from behind you and it's so fucking scary like even like just sit down and shut up everywhere no matter where you go don't go to the bathroom oh okay no I'm kidding but like even something uh what's the word I'm like innocuous yeah like innocent like a flower like it can spook someone because every we're all on such high alert yeah because everyone's crazy Everyone's crazy.

It's deeply disturbed.

Yeah.

So I think everyone should get help.

Yeah.

You know, I think so.

So that we can go back to enjoying life's simple pleasures.

Where you could throw a flower on a stage.

And abroad, Harry Styles.

Yeah.

People are always throwing things at him.

Yeah, really bad.

Like water bottles.

And he reprimands people.

Like, he's like, stop.

No, like.

Like, and it also, it depends, like, Pink, I feel, like, doesn't have, like, crazy fans.

So I feel like, yes, this is something that would happen at like a Harry concert or even like a Taylor Swift concert, like really impassioned cult.

Like Pink is just like a famous artist with tons of fans.

She doesn't have like a cult after her, but it happens to even the best of them.

It does, but you're underestimating the power of pink.

Like,

we're strong.

We're strong.

What do you guys call yourselves?

I don't know.

I'm not a part of them.

Okay.

I listen.

I enjoy passively.

Yeah.

Like a normal person.

Like a normal person should.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

It's a little fashion news.

Want to get your take on it.

Why?

Because I'm so fashionable.

Yeah.

Look at your outfit, fancy pants.

The Jacomis Runway Show was in Paris yesterday and...

Star-studded.

It was star-studded.

It was at Versailles.

The clothing was a question mark, and I want to know your thoughts because fans are roasting Kendall Jenner's Jacomus Runway Show look, saying it's giving diaper.

Okay, I actually liked her look.

Yeah, so this look has been very like...

Not controversial because it's just an outside.

It went viral.

But it went viral for being like, do we like this?

Like, is this fashion?

Is this a joke?

What is this?

And it's really hard for me to have an opinion because it's on Kendall.

Right.

And everything on Kendall, I like.

So I thought it looked great on Kendall.

If I was wearing it, I think I would feel differently.

If you went out to dinner in this, I would feel differently.

I think you'd be arrested.

But also, Jacques Moss.

Like, I feel like when they popped on the scene, they were like doing crazy.

Like, they invented like that tiny purse that everybody wore.

Maybe they didn't invent it, excuse me, but theirs was the one that like blew up.

And everyone's like, what are you keeping that tiny purse?

Like, they're always doing like shock and awe.

Yeah, yeah.

So I don't think it's that.

I didn't see anything that was that crazy.

I thought Gigi Hadid's outfit was beautiful.

I didn't think it was that crazy.

I don't know why everyone's like getting their panties in a twist.

Yeah, I didn't think it was that crazy.

I looked at some of the other looks from the show because I just wanted to see what they were doing and it wasn't anything like

groundbreaking.

Right.

Or or like that shocking.

No, there was a nipple though.

There's always a nipple.

There's always so fashion.

But what was cool was the show itself and I didn't feel like the clothes were worthy of a show at Versailles is how I felt.

That's a fair criticism.

Yeah.

Because Versailles is like...

opulent and right they could have just like walked down around and I had a studio and yeah

yeah yeah no that's fair or a park but the the guests of the show were on little boats in the lake.

Oh, I didn't see that.

And then the girls were like on the runway.

Yeah.

That's cool.

Right.

That's different.

Yeah.

I like that.

I like that too.

So what do you think about the look?

Well, I think you said it best.

Kendall Jenner could quite literally wear a diaper and it would look good.

So

they're saying she looks like she's wearing a diaper and it does look good.

I think maybe it's a commentary.

Hmm.

Let's offer this.

On motherhood?

No.

I think it's a commentary on a thesis we've been speaking about here for a really long time.

Like, Kendall Jenner could wear a diaper and look good.

And she did.

She wore a diaper and she looked good.

Yeah.

So it's really like, it's not even about the clothes.

It's about the person.

Well, that's true.

I believe that.

Like, I think fashion is so subjective.

It's just about the person wearing it.

Like, do they feel good?

Do they look good?

Yes, ugly is ugly, but.

Yeah, but then also, like, clothes can make a person.

Yes, that's true.

Like anything else, it's a balance.

it's a balance i didn't think it was that crazy like me neither and you know what the more i look at it it's also on kendall so i do like it i like her legs are so like i like what i'm looking at yeah you know um but i also like it like i i don't think people will actually i don't want to see someone like going out to dinner in this really but i feel like there's a way to make it a little more

street friendly yeah i could see like Like a young starlette.

Like there was that period where Ariana Grande wore like a lot of stuff in the silhouette.

I could see like Olivia Rodrigo.

Like

with a pair of tights.

Yeah, cool tights, big chunky shoes.

Yeah, so like we're clothed.

Yeah, it doesn't feel so crazy to me.

And I thought it was a fabulous outing, and I loved all the photos.

We got so much footage of all the famous models and girlies, and I loved it.

Yeah, it was cute.

It was just like a great high fashion moment.

It was.

Is it fashion week or something?

I don't, girl, you are so asking the wrong girl.

I feel like it's always fashion month.

No, I feel like always having a show in the middle of not fashion.

I know, because I feel like it's always fashion month.

We know it's like New York, Paris, Milan.

Like it's in the same month.

Then there's all these like rogue shows, and then we have, you know, and then we have resort.

Resort.

And then we have, of course, like the very highly acclaimed OC Fashion Week.

And it's just like a lot.

There's a lot.

There's fall, spring, resort, OC.

Winter, spring, summer joggers.

Right.

There's always that.

It's hard to keep.

Joggers.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Athena Club.

Probably my favorite razor of all time and my only critique of Athena Club is that it's too good that Ben keeps using it, and it's so annoying.

So, the blade on our old razors used to get really goopy after a few uses, but we love the water-activated serum on Athena Club's razors.

There's just enough of it to soothe while shaving, but it never gets that like gunky, chunky, like mucus type thing.

You said it, sis.

It's time to get friendly with our razors again, and honestly, there's no better razor out there than the Athena Club Razor.

Shaving used to be something we dreaded, but Athena Club products have seriously made it more fun and easy to shave.

Also, their holder, their magnetic holder, is by far the best one I've used.

I've used a bunch of razors that say like, oh, we have this thing.

It's on the floor.

It's on the floor.

My Athena Club one has been up for probably two months and has not fallen.

It's fabulous.

After the first few shaves with our old razor, it just never shaved as well.

And since switching to Athena Club, I've sincerely gotten zero razor bumps with their razor.

So it's designed with built-in skin guards to help prevent razor burn while being gentle on curves.

Plus, the razor blade is surrounded by water-activated serums with shea butter and hyaluronic acid, which we all know is holy grail for skincare.

The best part is that the razor kit is only $10 and it comes with two blade heads, a magnetic hook for shower storage, and your choice of handle color.

The handle options are super cute, but they also have black and white razors if you're a minimalist.

And with Athena Club, you never have to think about blade refills because you choose how often you want the replacement blades shipped to you.

And you can also now find them in Target stores nationwide.

So it's easy to swing by one of the many Target stores whenever you need more blades.

Switch to the better Razor and show your skin you care with Athena Club.

Get started today by shopping in-store at Target stores nationwide.

Just head to the shaving aisle and find the razor kit, the cloud shave foam, the wax strips, and the razor refills.

Again, Target, you can shop Athena Club now, which is fabulous.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Our next story.

Louis Capaldi is taking a break from touring and

foreseeable future.

for touring in the foreseeable future for mental and physical health.

So Lewis Capaldi has revealed that he's taking a break from touring for now for the sake of his health.

He announced the news in a statement shared on his Instagram Tuesday and called it the most difficult decision of his life.

His announcement comes after he struggled to finish his set at Glastonbury on Saturday and was supported by the crowd.

Ahead of his set at the English Music Festival, he had canceled three weeks of performances in order to rest and recover both mentally and physically.

He said, the fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write, but I'm very sorry to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.

I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this, and I'd hoped three weeks away would sort me out.

But the truth is, I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.

Yeah, I think that video went really viral where he was trying to, you know, perform at Glastonbury and the fans were like cheering and screaming and singing and it was like really heartwarming, but it was clear like this is a person in need of like a major break.

Yeah, and I've been seeing videos like that for the last few months because he does suffer from Tourette's, so he can't like finish his songs and the fans always like come through for him But I'm sure one it's really hard for him and that's not like the kind of show that he wants to be doing and I'm sure it's really emotional So I'm glad that he's taking time off from touring But I also feel like an art like there should be an artist who's just like I'm gonna be a musician I'm gonna make art I'm gonna put out songs that I love because he's so talented and like yeah, one of my favorite artists and be like and I'm not touring at all.

I know the thing is

when you are an artist, like the actual all the money is in touring.

Like most artists are not in like great record deals.

They don't make a ton of money from like streaming.

Everyone knows it's like, you know, 10 cents for a million streams.

So the real money is touring, merch, all that.

For sure.

But like you can earn a very good, like he's a top artist.

Yes.

Just his money alone and even licensing his songs for movies and commercials.

Like he could earn a very good living and not have to struggle so deeply, like mentally and emotionally.

And he, at a certain point, like he can't do it.

So I would, as a fan of his, like a huge fan of his, I would, if he was just like, I'm going to make music and you're not going to like see me out and about,

and I hope that's okay.

I would say that's what I'm saying.

You know who really like does that?

Who?

Sia.

Yeah.

Did Sia ever like go on tour?

Remember she had that major album, Elastic Heart, Chandelier?

Like, it was the biggest album of all time.

And I feel like she doesn't tour.

Let's Google it.

I'm sure that she

did.

But it's also, I feel like it's a part of your record label deal.

Like, you have to put out a certain amount of tours and shows.

Yeah, no.

They lock you in.

You can get tickets for 2023.

But no, I hear what you're saying.

And I do think there are other artists who put out like, you know, decent music, not that frequently and are just constantly on tour.

Right.

It is very revenue generating.

And it might be like fun for them to travel and take their friends.

And it depends what stage of your life you're at.

But like, I am totally fine with an artist who can't tour.

But I'm sure he wants to meet his fans and sings his song live and hear it sung back to him.

And that must be really hard, but.

He needs to take time for himself.

Yeah, no, it's interesting.

I feel like we do live in an age where like you could become like an enormous star without really touring.

But I feel like that's half the fun.

You know, that's why people get into this business.

Yes, but also like touring is also where things go wrong so many times.

Well, I was, that reminds me, I feel like someone who's, who, I feel like, is doing that, like will be doing that in the future is Justin Bieber.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Like, I think every time he does a tour, it's not okay.

Because there's like mental health issues, physical health issues.

He's just like not happy.

Oh, you know who doesn't tour?

But she also like doesn't really release music that frequently.

Selena Gomez.

Yeah.

But I mean she did have an album, but she did she didn't do a tour for her album, her most recent one.

Yeah.

I feel like she's someone who fully prioritizes her mental health and she makes so much money from her other ventures that she doesn't need to tour.

Yeah.

Selena Gomez, yeah.

Every time like an artist goes on tour, I feel like even like obviously this is fictional, but like Daisy Jones and the Six.

Yeah.

Like that tour broke them.

Yeah.

I feel like whenever Ari goes on tour, she makes a documentary about how miserable it is.

Yeah, yeah.

That's so true.

I'm just saying.

I feel like Taylor Swift's having like the time of her life on this tour.

Yes, but she's not an ordinary tour.

It's not an ordinary tour.

It's like totally on her terms.

And it's kind of like, I mean, until it went global, but let's see how the global piece goes for her.

The global piece will go.

What do you mean?

In terms of sales?

No, no, no, no.

In terms of just like...

Mental health.

Yeah, mental health, having time for yourself.

I feel like by now she's like figured out what works for her and doing like these weekend show, like huge shows.

Five days off.

Yeah, is going well for her But it's a lot.

Yeah.

It's a lot of time away from home.

Yeah, it is but you're right.

It does depend on like what stage in life you're in.

I think like when you're in your early 20s like traveling a lot and being away from home is like exciting and when you're on the up like every show you do you're getting more fans.

It's like, you know, it's like in a movie where you're just like climbing the charts.

But when you're there already And you're looking for, you're not looking for that exactly.

You're looking for something else.

Yeah.

Well, I wish him the best.

I I wish him the best.

I love him.

He's a PJOM.

As a fan, I completely support this decision.

Yeah.

Now, our fifth and final story is some tech news that I

find really interesting.

A new smartphone app made by ex-Google Engineer will calculate the calories in any meal by scanning a picture of the meal.

So toxic.

Nobody's.

You're living for it.

No.

No, it's not.

No, by the way, a lot of people track their food, and it's really inaccurate.

It's so inaccurate, especially if you're a human.

Especially Especially make something from home at a restaurant.

No, at home is easier.

You know exactly what's going on.

At a restaurant, like, how much butter did they eat?

No, but like, how does this camera know?

Okay, so anyone who's eaten out in the past years has felt and maybe caved to the urge to snap a pic of a particularly well-plated or photogenic entree for social media.

But now there might finally be a practical and legitimately constructive reason to photograph all those perfectly seared veggies, burgers, et cetera.

Former engineers at Google and defense contractor Raytheon have created a cell phone app that can count the calories in any meal by simply taking a photo.

Like, it's

called Snap Calorie.

It's already available for download on Apple's App Store and Google Play for free with a 30-month, $30 per month premium option.

It's better

a month.

It's better at eyeballing the calorie content.

Why, if you were to do like a

program, a programme, it's just like a lot.

How much do you pay for FaceTune?

Excuse me.

Wow.

I pay like $25 a year.

Oh, okay, okay.

For like the premium one.

Worth every penny.

Facetune 2.

Yeah, FaceTune 2.

Greater than Facetune 1.

FaceTune 2.

Actually, Facetune 1 really gets the job done.

I totally agree.

But Facetune 2 has now some perks I can't live without.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

By changing the background.

Like obsessed.

I have so much fun.

It's better at eyeballing the calorie content of a dish than professional nutritionists.

So this is how it looks.

So you could see like they

x-ray the plate.

Well, yeah, well, they're x-raying like a banana and an apple.

Which anyone could tell you?

Like my bowl of chili.

Your bowl of chili.

So I think like those like darkness, like it was probably like fat, like it's like, yeah.

I don't know.

I guess it kind of makes sense.

So the photo online is like an x-ray image of like an apple and a banana standing on a plate.

And like the apple and banana have like different colors.

I guess the different colors represent different things.

Yeah.

And it's

there like if it does what it says it does, which I still don't understand the science behind like, you know, how could it take a picture and like know how much oil was in this?

Yeah.

How much sugar, whatever.

But that could be game-changing because i really do feel like whenever i'm trying to be conscious of like calorie consumption it's like how do you know no and like many years ago i did weight watchers and i loved it and i would like track my food and like i would know that like the stuff i was putting in because like i was kind of lying too was like not fully like a hundred percent you know yeah and so with a lot of Food tracking apps like you can always scan the barcode of what you're eating But if it's like something that's homemade or at a restaurant It's really hard to gauge it It could you could be off by hundreds of calories.

Yes.

That's so interesting.

So I think this is a good use of.

Yeah.

Personally, I won't be downloading because $30 a month is a lot.

And honestly, like, I just prefer not to know, you know?

Well, some people want exactly to know, but this is, they use AI to do this.

That's what I figured.

AI.

AI is just like a blanket statement, but we were also talking about yesterday this AI children's toy that's forthcoming.

Oh, I don't remember.

We were talking about it in the chat, this

bear.

Yeah, oh, this AI bear in the next few years.

Your kid could talk to it and then it would like talk back and like learn about your kid and like tell the kid to like it like listens to what your kid is saying and then becomes like the friend and talks back to it and like, you know, gives advice.

Yeah, like, which is just so scary.

It's giving Ashley O a black mirror.

Yeah.

It's also giving Clara and the sun.

I didn't read it.

I won't make you.

Thanks.

But I will not be getting that.

No, not for Harry.

Because Harry has his auntie who gives the best advice.

Right.

You want to go tell a story?

Go tell yet auntie.

You want to go hear a story?

Go listen to yet auntie.

You want to go seek advice from a great maternal figure?

Go talk to your mother.

Who's not your mother?

Sometimes you need to talk to, like, you know, an aunt.

Okay.

Like the cool aunt.

You better fucking tell me what he said.

Yeah, of course.

No, and like me and Harry, like, I'll sneak him cigarettes when he's like 16, you know?

No, I don't know.

That's the kind of auntie I'm going to be.

I don't know about that.

Yeah, me and Harry getting lit on the weekends.

Yeah, no.

Harry will be like my designated driver.

Fine.

That.

That's fine.

Good auntie-nephew bonding time.

Yeah.

Love that for us.

So those are the past five stories.

Not today.

Don't need to know today.

Yeah, getting here is hard.

It's a thousand degrees in here.
