Sandwich Sluts: Friday, June 2nd, 2023

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy

Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

Feels like a little delayed.

Like Friday's like halfway done already by the time we record this.

We are recording a little delayed today.

We are, but I did like Friday, the abridged version by Turdy Lou.

Friday, Taylor's ver no, Friday, Turdy's version.

It always is.

So it always is.

Today is Friday, which is just fabulous news.

It doesn't feel like a real Friday because we had a short week, so it feels like we almost don't even deserve this Friday.

Does anybody else feel that way?

Is that true?

This was a short week.

It was Memorial Day, are you okay?

You're so right.

Honestly, this was a very long week for me.

Yeah, like you had like a bunch of doctor's appointments.

That's why we are late today.

Apologies for the late recording with Ricardia and Jax, but Jackie had a bunch of doctor's appointments this morning and Yargarally attended them and I have a lot of thoughts.

Claudia was my companion.

What were your thoughts on the whole scene at the OB?

Well, my first thought was like, I just kind of felt like I was like walking in the shoes.

I really thought everyone in the, in the office thought we were a couple because we look more like a lesbian couple than we do sisters.

We look nothing alike.

Okay, but why can't we be friends?

I just feel like friends don't take each other to their appointments.

I know, but I feel like we were acting more like friends and less coupley.

Like we were cracking up.

I feel like couples really don't do that

at that point, like in pregnancy.

Well, it just kind of felt exciting, like to, to just like have people see me through a new lens.

Like I'm just a partner, you know, I'm a supportive partner.

Yeah, you were a supportive partner.

That's facts.

And obviously I went because I love you dearly.

And, you know, Zach had to watch Harry, so of course I would come.

Had I known that you had an appointment at like this imaging thing right across the street from what will now be like moving forward, my favorite place on the planet.

I would have, I would have come to all of your appointments since you came to New York.

Like we were getting hungry.

It was long, by the way.

We were there for like three hours.

You had like a bunch of different appointments.

And at one point, I think I mentioned, you know, lunch afterwards.

And you were like, why don't you run across the street?

There's like some restaurants.

Go get us some food.

So I was like, oh, okay.

And I just kind of stumbled into this place.

And I realized as I was walking in that it was a Zaybars, you know, a New York classic.

There's like 15 of them in the city.

And, you know, every time anybody like writes a book or makes a movie about New York, it's like Zay Bar, Zay Bar, Zay Bars, fresh bread.

So I'm like ashamed to admit that as a New Yorker, but more importantly as a Jew,

I had never been to Zay Bars and I had such an unbelievable experience.

I felt like the main character in a Nancy Myers movie.

I like wanted to get a baguette and just wear a beret and like walk around this little bistro.

It was, I was overwhelmed, first of all, by the options, like the fresh bread, fresh pastries,

bagels.

It was like 11, so we were going like breakfast.

Yeah.

But then I saw like the hot food selection.

I saw, you know, delicious-looking rice.

I saw chicken tender.

Do you see things in which to make turties warm bowls?

I did.

It was kind of like a warm bowl haven, if you will.

And I just, I felt like a better version of myself.

Like, I, my new kind of life goal is to be the girl that was in the market.

Like, I was just kind of sacheting around, you know, looking at the baguettes.

I felt like seriously, I came back and I said to Jackie that I felt like Meryl Streep's character, and it's complicated because she owns this like major French marketplace bakery where they like have fresh espresso and baguettes and croissants every day.

And I know people who live in New York are like, oh my God, this bitch is not making a 40-minute podcast about Zabars, but like I am.

I had never been.

I haven't been in a really long time, like not old enough to appreciate it.

If I've ever really even stepped in, I feel like I've only ever gotten like their crackers.

We're going to have to go

after my next doctor's appointment.

Like I'll let Zach know that you have to be there.

And we'll have to go and have the full experience.

Like, for a lunch, a meal, we can sit and dine in.

Yes, it had like these gorgeous, very French-inspired like booths and banquettes, but it wasn't big and it wasn't busy.

It was like, and it was like almost lunch rush, but it was in a very quiet neighborhood, so it wasn't overwhelming.

There are some really nice places, and you want to like spend your afternoon there, but they're so busy that you just like get in and get out.

No, not Zay Bars.

It was like a culinary experience.

I swear to God, when I stepped out, I was like, I am in France.

Like it was so elevated.

So you took a trip to France this morning?

Pretty much.

Bonnui, Turdy Lou.

Bonnui.

I'm honestly jealous.

I'm wishing that I had that experience and walked in and you would like never know it because we just got like bagels with cream cheese, which we honestly,

I fumbled.

Like, I fumbled in terms of the actual purchasing, but it was like a weird time.

It was 11.15.

It's not lunch.

Yeah, you could have gotten us our lunches too because we would have been ready for lunch in like one hour later.

I didn't know that we were going to be at this doctor's appointment literally till one o'clock.

I thought we were almost done, honestly.

We think we were, but it was just like almost done is still long.

No, no, we came in there for three things, like an imaging,

a shot, and one other thing.

And it was an hour per thing.

Like, it was just slow.

Yeah.

And you have to like start when you do one thing, then go back to the waiting room.

Yeah.

Go through it again.

Like the way that a doctor's appointment is an hour.

When you try and do like three things in one doctor's appointment, it's three hours.

But going to these like like fertility like doctors did remind me of the first time i went to like an appointment for my wedding planning because i remember when i let me explain i remember when i like started meeting with like you know at wedding dress shops and planners i remember being so like taken aback by how everyone who works in the bridal industry was so nice and they were like so excited about your wedding like just as excited as you were like they really the people who work in the bridal industry like make it special they really do a good job and i was thinking today like everyone we met like that nurse who we were chatting with at the end and then that lady in the waiting room and then the other girl who did like your cervix thing and the sonogram she was everyone was so nice and like so cared so much about you and like were like doing you know the most like let me just oh I got the images but let me just make sure like everyone was doing their jobs like so well and they were so nice and was mostly women it was just kind of like a great energy it's a great community It is, but I've never been a part because obviously I've never been

in the imaging center.

I'm glad that you had a good experience in like witnessing the behind the scenes of like pregnancy care.

No, it's really like I think it's called neonatal.

Is it?

No, that's like for babies, no?

But isn't it like neonatal care?

I guess that's

like women's health, but also women's health.

I think the word is just pregnancy.

Okay, well pregnancy care.

Obstetrics.

Obstetrics.

Yeah, but you could also just be going in for a Papsmir, and that's obstetrics.

Like, I mean, like, pregnant women care.

Okay, pregnant care.

Fertility.

Pregnant women care.

No, fertility is a different sect.

Oh, okay.

Well, whoever, everyone who works there was just like fucking nice, and I really appreciated it.

I'm so glad you had such a positive morning with y'all girl.

I did.

And you were being such a good sis really did me a solid.

It was also nice because, you know, I have kind of like a brain for science and an aptitude for medicine.

So it was just kind of nice to get another opinion in there and be like, yeah, no, that imaging looks, it looks good.

You were pleased with what you saw.

Carry on.

I was pleased with.

Yeah, no, I was monitoring, you know.

I didn't want to point out when they were doing things wrong.

I was monitoring.

And you know what they did good you did good

so it was nice and i just loved that market yeah i'm honestly like hungry again

i know we like really i really fucked up like in terms of what i purchased i so like shit the bed i was honestly like grocery shopped for us i know there was like a big hala that i really wanted to get i just didn't know if i could like come back to the doctor's office with like shopping bags like i think you would have been the life of the party i know because we did get get like a bunch of food and we didn't eat all of it, but we were giving it away to the other pregnant ladies in the waiting room because this girl was talking.

She was like, I'm so hungry, but I don't want to be late for my appointment.

I was like, Do you want half my bagel?

And she took it.

It's a collective in there.

No, I'm telling you, like the way that waiting room was never as lively as it was today.

Like, Jackson Claude need a permanent residency in that waiting room.

It's true.

It's, I've been in that waiting room a bunch.

It's never really popping like that.

And I feel like, is this place for high-risk pregnancies?

Yes, not exclusively, because I also went there in my pregnancy with harry but they do focus on high risk so you know morale can be low in a waiting room like that and i think that they need to bring us in like on a bi-weekly basis yeah they need to bring you in you made the difference i'm always there i guess i could bring my guitar and do like my miss rachel impersonation you should go to a daycare and do that I know.

If, you know, if podcasting doesn't work out for me, I've taken Harry to like a bunch of those music classes.

Like, that's definitely a job I am well suited for.

No, like when people ask you, if you weren't a podcaster, what would you be?

Like, that's that's your answer children's group musician yeah like those classes like at the kids gyms and stuff where somebody walks around with a guitar and sings like twinkle twinkle but they always put like they always have flair those people always have charisma yeah they have talent I feel like that's a job I'm extremely well suited for except I feel like it's a lot of time on my feet you why not sit no one said you have to stand Yeah, mine would kind of be like the low energy meditation class.

Yeah, or you do it with a partner.

I think you'd be really good with Ben, and he can make the rounds and he needs to to pick up an instrument to make the rounds.

Pass out the scarves.

He could pass out the scarves and, you know, the little maracas.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a really good future for you guys if your future as a cantorial duo doesn't work out.

No, it's just a backup plan.

It's so important to like always have different options in life.

You never know what's going to happen.

Yeah, and in the meantime, Harry loves your talents and services.

Right now, I perform for an audience of one, and I'm genuinely okay with that.

But like, he literally is obsessed.

Obsessed.

Jackson and I spent the whole day together yesterday, which was fabulous.

Dude, we were so willy wonka in bed together all day.

Claudia got me a TV.

Well, okay, let's talk about that.

Jackie's fully like on fucking bed rest out here without a fucking TV in her bedroom.

Like, are you okay?

I ordered one on.

Shout out to Costco Instacart.

$200?

Granted, it was a brand I had never heard of.

It wasn't like a Sony or a Samsung or an LG, who cares?

$200 for a 55-inch TV that got delivered in an hour on Costco Instacart.

We set it up.

We got our Roku set.

We watched Kardashians in bed.

Like, I cannot believe you're out here like bedresting without a TV.

You're seriously not okay.

No, I know.

Well, there's just always so much going on in my house that like either I'm on my computer working or I'm just like texting it on my phone or I am reading.

So it's like I hadn't noticed yet, like that, how annoying it is to not have a TV.

But now that I have one, like I'm addicted and now I need to find a show to binge.

I'm thinking Desperate Housewives again.

There's never a bad time to restart Desperate Housewives.

That's just kind of like a life lesson I think everyone should abide by.

Agreed.

I also told Jackie that she should start watching.

What did I tell you when we were scrolling?

Like a show that's

weeds.

Yeah, they have a lot of seasons.

It's like funny.

I think it's pretty lighthearted.

I don't think it gets like too dark.

And it's cute.

I think you would like a lot.

I remember I tried to start it once a million years ago and I wasn't into it, but maybe now I would be like as a mom.

I think it's about like a mom who sells drugs.

Yeah, she just like gets into the weed business because she's like falling upon tough times.

And then of course over the course of like 10 seasons, she gets carried away.

Yeah, yeah.

So I feel like that could be more my speed now, just like suburban drama.

Oh, and it's very suburban drama.

So maybe it's my time.

It could be, but we watched a lot of TV yesterday.

We watched Kardashians and then we both watched a bunch of episodes of that Smartlist show, which we're just like intrigued by.

We're so intrigued by.

And like we were watching at the same time separately and we were just like texting each other because there were a couple things that were actually kind of shocking.

Yeah, the MIT guy.

The second Boston performance where they completely

spoil it.

Okay, wait, but no, that's not I was going to say.

For people who like don't know what we're talking about, basically the Smartlist podcast has a documentary that like documents their entire podcast tour.

And on their tour, they have like a special guest come to every show.

But the cool thing is that the audience doesn't know who the guest is going to be and neither do two out of three of the hosts.

Every show, one of the hosts will invite someone and then bring them on stage and like everyone's really shocked.

It's a really cool concept.

I actually like it.

So the first two shows were chosen by Will Arnett.

Will Arnett brought

Dave Letterman and Will no, no, no.

Will Farrell and Conan O'Brien.

Yeah.

So like major comedy and so exciting.

If you're into Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, then these are your kings.

So then for the next two shows,

Jason Bateman was in charge of selecting a guest.

And I would argue that out of the three of them, Jason Bateman is the most famous.

So I was ready to be dazzled.

And he's bringing out the guest.

He's giving like an intro.

And honestly, the way he's describing it, I thought he was going to bring out Elon Musk.

He was talking about how smart this guy is, how he teaches at MIT, how he's responsible for the quantum physics of the universe, like all this stuff.

And then he says the guy's name, Max Something.

Tag Mark.

Yeah, who's just like a really, really, really, really smart, probably one of the smartest people in the world who like works at MIT.

Who cares?

Yeah, it was.

It was so awkward.

Like we watched, we watched the tour, like the actual show.

It was like awkward.

It was awkward.

Because not only was the guest like not

buzzy and what people wanted, especially since like right before that was Conan.

So I think on Twitter, everyone was talking about like, we had Conan tonight.

So then the second show was like, oh my God, who are we getting?

Right.

And they got Max Tegmark, who is not a star, like a

traditional celebrity.

And he's not a podcaster either.

So like, not only was it like, oh, I don't know that I want to hear about AI, but now I'm hearing a conversation about AI that's like not that like entertaining.

Funny.

It was not entertaining.

And when they got off stage, they like didn't know if they had done a bad job at first.

And then the more they talked about it, like they knew.

And then the next morning they woke up and there was just like so much backlash from their fans because like people are paying for tickets and for someone to get to see David Letterman and then someone else to see like Max Tegmark and no, no, no, there's not any hate.

No.

He's a genius.

He's just not entertaining.

Like I wouldn't go to a comedy show to go see a physicist.

And it was just kind of awkward, especially because I really expected the most from Jason Maimon.

And then his next guest was AOC.

And some people had complained about that.

And I was just like, what is with, I would have thought Jason Baiman would have brought like the most funny, the most famous, the most interesting, not like two boring ones.

Yeah, well, I feel like.

It's crazy that they only started their podcast in 2020.

And it's clear that like they know what they're doing.

They're extremely successful.

They have this format.

So I have two things to say.

There's format that, you know, one person brings on the guest, the other two don't know who it is, and a conversation comes from there, which is really cute.

It's like the mystery guest, and it works great on a podcast because if you're a podcast listener and they bring out a guest that you don't really want to hear, like, okay, I'm just not listening today, like, not a big deal.

But when you buy a ticket for a show, you're spending your money, and then you also have to sit there for two hours, and you're listening to someone that you don't like are not entertained by whatsoever.

Like, the concept of a mystery guest, like, doesn't really work when you're selling tickets, unless now they just commit to every guest being just like a fellow comedian that they know that their guests are going to love.

But I do feel like Jason Bateman, like, wants to to take this show in more of like a Joe Rogan direction where we're having like intellectual conversations

and we're not just like a bunch of comics sitting around.

But the thing is, your audience wants to see a bunch of comics sitting around.

Like if they wanted to hear about AI and science, like they might listen to a different podcast.

Yeah, no, he just like takes himself a little seriously.

But I feel like he's also trying to still carve out what the show could be.

And I feel like we do that.

It's natural to like change and stuff and like want to be more than what you're doing.

I just like wouldn't experiment on a live show.

Yeah, yeah.

No, it's very interesting to watch.

It's not like what I thought it would be.

Like every show is just like a banger.

There's like highs and lows.

There's highs and lows.

They're getting like a little sick of each other because they're non-stop.

It's not like they go home in between.

Like they're literally on a plane and a tour bus and like they're just maybe like

a room.

Which I thought was so interesting that they're not getting their own hotel rooms.

Now, it's not like two queen beds in a regular, these are the craziest hotel rooms I've ever seen in in my life.

They're like four beds.

They literally don't end.

They're so big.

Like Sean kept getting lost in the room.

Like they're so big.

I find the logistics of how they travel really interesting.

Yeah.

Also,

it's only a 10-city tour, right?

I don't know.

I think that it is.

Like, it's not, you know, eras.

No, but it's still like two weeks living in the same room as two other people.

And you're like a grown man.

Yeah, they could get their own rooms.

Yeah.

But they don't want to.

It's interesting.

No, no, it's very interesting.

It's very good.

I really like it.

I was also really shocked to learn that their podcast only started in 2020.

For me, they were just like one of those OG podcasts.

Like they're always at the top of the comedy chart.

I just assumed that they were seriously like a

just like a staple in the podcast community.

No, I knew that they were fresher, but that like there were a lot of podcasts that popped up during COVID, especially celebrity podcasts that like petered off, maybe even quit, but all or just like respectable in the top 200, whatever.

But that they really made it.

Like, and they obviously have something that people really like.

Yeah, yeah, they have some, they have like a star factor.

Like they're

like watching their show, like even the live show, and like people are laughing in the crowd.

And like, I'm not laughing.

Like, I, the

humorous thing.

I don't think we're the target demo.

No, but Zach's cracking up.

No, Zach is a bad deal.

This is awesome.

Zach is definitely target demo.

Yeah, he is.

So it's just interesting.

But I do, I find the whole concept interesting.

There are parts that are more boring than other parts, but I think the interesting parts make it worth the boring parts.

Yeah, and it's just rising tides, rise all shades.

Like, this is a great moment for podcasting.

It is a great moment for podcasting.

And it also makes me think about like other,

like the scale of other podcasts.

Like,

I would love to see more of this type of content of like on the road with a podcast.

Yeah.

I mean, the scale of their podcast and their tour, I don't think is predicated on the scale of their podcast.

I think it's predicated on the scale of their celebrity.

I do agree.

Because even people who have podcasts bigger than Smartlist go on tour and they don't take private planes.

But these are three people who are very independently wealthy

and famous.

I agree with that.

So maybe it wouldn't be as interesting to watch.

I don't know.

Yeah.

If it was just a couple of podcasters.

But it's nice.

I like that HBO is doing something different.

Like it's cool.

Yeah.

I hope it sets a good precedent.

so

so so now that we've chatted at length about tings i've been getting like shit for how i say length oh welcome to the club of getting shit for how you say things

i say like length i do say the g it's i'm never gonna knock someone for pronouncing things as they're spelled I'm just a phonetic queen, and that's something I have to live with.

Lululemon.com.

Thank you, Claudia.

Yeah, well, go ahead.

So, if you had to sum up the first two sponsors, would you say that it's Hululemon?

I would say it's

Hulu Lemon.

Hululemon.com slash undercarriage.

Exactly.

Okay, our first story.

I'm obsessed beyond.

Kylie Jenner and Timothy Chalamay were seen together for the first time with their famous sisters.

Literally.

Sorry, I'll allow you to finish.

Please save your thoughts till the end.

The rumored couple, Kylie and Timothy, appear to have taken the next step in their relationship, meeting each other's families.

So they were photographed together for the first time, lingling with each other's relatives at a barbecue earlier this month.

There have been rumors that they've been spotted together.

We've seen her car in his driveway.

We've seen them like both be in the same restaurant, but we've not gotten a frame of the two of them together in frame.

And these photos, which were taken like by some creep at a bird's eye view, are very,

very revealing in the sense that these people are all hanging out.

Yeah, no, it was extremely revealing.

To me, there's two major takeaways from this.

And I just want to say, so Kylie brought her sister, who we know, Kendall, and Timothy brought his sister, who we know, Pauline, because she is Kimberly on Sex Lives of College Girls.

And when I first saw the headline that he's with his sister, I'm like, oh, the sister.

But then when I remembered who his sister was, I was like, the sister.

So that was my first takeaway.

Like, we have to acknowledge the Kimberly of it all.

Kimberly from Sex Lives of College Girls is probably one of my favorite characters like ever created in the television universe.

She's so fucking weird and funny and she's just everything of the sort.

So the fact that like, think of it as like Kimberly hanging out with them and it's just, it changes things.

It's so fabulous.

And the second for me, like this story is a bombshell, not because it's showing pictures of Kylie and Timothy Chalamet, but because it's showing Kylie holding a pack of Marlboro lights and an ashtray.

Like Kylie is a cigarette smoker.

I think I might have known that.

Like I think I've seen a photo of her with a cigarette like once or twice, but I forgot and I can't get over it.

No, I didn't know this.

The only thing I'll say is like either she's obviously like a pack a day Jojo Siwa smoking like that or she's like carrying her man's sigs because I could see Tim

being into cigarettes or she's like gotten into cigarettes because of him.

But as much as I never expected this from her, it tracks.

No, by the way, there are like three paparazzi photos on the internet.

Yeah, she was like 18.

I think the other one from when she was like a few years ago, she doesn't say no to a cigarette, but maybe she was celebrating her newfound love.

Yeah, but there's a difference between like being 18 and like being crazy with a cigarette versus like, oh, it's daytime and we're hanging out.

I must have a cigarette.

I must have my pack on me with my personal ashtray.

No, okay, so like having a personal ashtray, I think takes us to like another level of like smoker.

Or she was just like bringing out the barbecue tings to the table, including like an ashtray for the group and my boyfriend Sigs.

Well, a lot of people were like, oh, Chris Jenner works hard, the devil works hard, or whatever.

Like, Chris Jenner set up these photos for the family.

And Entie tweeted, and I thought it was a really good point.

Like, yeah, Chris Jenner, sure, sometimes she does that, but like, she would never have sanctioned photos of Kylie with cigarettes.

Like, there's like, this is so not a setup.

It's so real.

Yeah, and I appreciate the reality of the situation and the cigarettes of the situation.

Like, it's just

Kendall.

Kendall?

Do you think Kendall?

And Kendall's smoking too.

Like,

it's such a model thing to do.

Like, oh, we're hungry?

Oh, that's like that TikTok sound.

So for breakfast, we have a cigarette and a little bar of chocolate.

But Kendall is so like, you know, health and her cryo chamber.

Remember that episode where she was like talking about how she's so weirdly obsessed with health?

Yeah, no, that's so.

That person like doesn't smoke cigarettes.

Yeah, but I feel like that person is actually really Courtney.

No, Courtney is like an extreme for sure.

Like if I saw Courtney with a cigarette, like I my mind would be blown.

I would be shocked.

But I think Kendall falls into that category a little bit of like

matcha,

tea,

rejuvenate, relax, repeat.

Wait, total weird tangent.

And I know you know nothing about this.

Do you have any idea what's going on with the Philip Schofield drama?

I've never heard that name.

Okay, so Philip Schofield was on like the biggest morning show in Britain.

Like you've probably seen, you've probably seen clips of like him and his female co-hosts are like always cackling together.

He's kind of like a staple of British media.

And a few weeks ago, like some big scandal came out about him.

He was like having an inappropriate relationship.

Like people are really upset because he was like really in millions and millions of homes for like so many years.

And it's blown the network wide open, whatever.

And I don't know like everything about it, but today I saw all over TikTok, he did his first interview and he's talking about how he's like been so depressed, yada, yada.

But he's using a vape the entire time.

He's in this like really serious sit-down interview with like a 60 minutes equivalent.

And he's vaping this like turk, bright blue turquoise vape like in between questions it is the weirdest thing that's so weird but he's able to do a morning show for years and not vape right

maybe he's just spiraling clearly like he was saying some really absurd shit no i didn't know about any of that and honestly it sounds like i didn't like i don't need to now know you know it's not like you're so obsessed with the brits it's not like iam

You needed to know about Iam Tonga.

Yeah.

No, I don't think you need to know about this, but I just wonder if anyone else listening to this podcast has fallen fallen into the Philip Schofield TikTok drama.

But it's not even TikTok drama.

I'm just learning about it on TikTok.

He very much like operates on like traditional media.

Yeah, it's morning show British drama playing out.

It's morning TikTok.

It's morning show British drama playing out on TikTok.

I actually, I love that rabbit hole for you.

I won't stop you.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Well, back to the task at hand.

So we can confirm that Kylie and Timothy are a couple.

It's not the couple I would choose for her.

It's not the couple I would choose for me, but I'm happy for my girl.

Yeah, Timothy Chalamet is just not really ever someone I'm going to be attracted to.

And maybe there's something wrong with me or there's something wrong with everyone else, but it's just, it's going to be a no for me.

But I'm so happy for Kylie.

Yep.

So it's like, I just wouldn't pair him with my number one girl.

Like, but if he, if he was like spotted dating someone else who I'm like, who I care about at the same level as him, like, I'd be more here for it.

But for my number one girl, like, I want her with my number one guy.

That didn't happen.

Which is who?

Who's your number one guy?

Oh, that's Josh.

Jason Momoa.

Kylie and Josh Groban.

Josh Groban has a girlfriend.

He does.

I've actually recently started following Josh Groban on Instagram since he responded to one of my Instagram stories that I tagged him in like many moons ago.

And he's such a hard worker.

He's on Broadway right now in Sweeney Todd.

He's really living.

Like he's very fulfilled.

You should be happy.

For sure.

But like he doesn't have a choice other than to share his gift with the world.

Like it wouldn't be right.

It's almost a burden.

Yeah, no, it wouldn't be right if he just like stayed home and took time off.

It's like, well, what about your angelic voice?

No, it wouldn't be right if he just like worked in marketing and had like this cool party trick where he happened to sing really good.

Yeah, no, like he needs to be constantly sharing his gift with the world.

Like God gave you a gift.

Now share it.

You're so right.

And I'm sure he feels that pressure.

But it sounds like he's rising to the occasion.

You know who else would do that?

Kylie.

We have never seen Josh Groban perform live, have we?

Like in person?

No.

I remember.

I remember one of his concerts.

There were a couple tours of his that I really wanted to go to.

It like didn't work out.

Like I remember he had a show on my birthday or something and I wasn't going to be here.

Like I've actually really tried and I think I've given up.

Okay, well I'm going to put that on like my list of things to get you in like future years.

Because also he's the kind of guy who goes on a tour like for a specific album where it could be like a collab album.

He did like some random album recently and it's like, so he's not playing the hits.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah, that's that's tough.

Like we need a Josh Groban greatest hits tour.

Yeah.

We do.

I'll be front row center.

That's kind of what's so fabulous not to bring everything back to Taylor, but that's really what's so fabulous about the Eras tour.

It's really a greatest hits tour.

True.

And speaking of Taylor, our next two stories are Taylor Adjacent.

Taylor is involved in the next two stories, but not, it's actually not about the Eras tour, so everyone will be happy to hear about that.

Okay.

First story, Forbes has put out their list of America's richest self-made women.

And obviously, we're most interested in the celebrities who made the list.

And Taylor Swift is now the second richest self-made woman in music, but still kind of far off from being number one.

That That place is held by Rihanna, who is worth over $2 billion.

$2 billion.

Yeah.

Yeah, I just want to say, and this is not me just being like a Taylor apologist, I don't really feel like it's fair for Rihanna to be on the music list because Rihanna's fortune comes from business, which is so impressive, but they should be on different lists.

They are.

Forbes put out this huge list.

It's like a database.

And honestly, in the top 10, top 20, I don't know one of these people's names.

It's not just like Oprah and Taylor and Kim and Beyonce.

But if you search by category, by by source, the source of their income, Rihanna is under music and cosmetics.

Okay.

Taylor's under music.

What about Kim and Kylie?

Kylie is under cosmetics.

Kim is under,

she's not under fashion.

She's under, oh, shapewear and skincare.

It's so specific.

Oh, they went real specific.

No, there's literally a category called Spanks, and it's just Sarah Blakely.

Dead.

Yeah, so I think all the publications have broken broken out this list into the people that we know and made like the top 10 celebrity list, which is of course interesting.

But it's not like just comparing like Rihanna and Taylor.

Their sources were different as noted by Forbes.

Yeah, yeah, no.

And I think a lot of people were really interested in the Taylor of it all because this year is probably the year she becomes a billionaire because the tour will gross over a billion dollars.

And at the time of this publication, what would they say her net worth was?

$7.40?

$7.40.

So she'll most likely become a billionaire this year after the tour raps and all the merch and all the songs um which is just oh and she also has speak now like she'll definitely become a billionaire this year which is so crazy that she's like not already yeah it's also always crazy to me that beyonce is not i think she's like a 500 million

yeah

I will say Taylor definitely had like a leg up to the second she started making money because her dad like literally did it for a living, like investment baking.

And then I think his full-time job became like handling her money.

And so she's like always been really, really smart about her money before she started making serious dough.

So, you know, you got to start him young.

Yeah.

She also passed Madonna, who has 580 million.

And Kylie is on the list.

She is at 680 million, which is interesting because like Forbes once called her like self-made billionaire.

Also, it's interesting that they put Kylie on this list.

They're sticking by their title of self-made, which I

don't really appreciate them being scrupled about that.

No, people got like so in the weeds about that because self-made when it comes to millionaire means not inherited.

Like there's a list of the world's richest women and the top 10 are either heiresses or widows like they're or divorce divorcees.

Yeah.

Like there is a difference.

It's Kylie cosmetics.

Like it's your company.

Yeah, she grew up very privileged.

That still makes you self-made.

Sorry.

Yeah.

No, it's crazy.

And the for the top 20 are all like women in business.

They're a lot older.

Who's the richest woman in the world?

Like just number one?

Oh, in the country.

Oh, country.

Diane Hendricks at 15 billion.

She, her source is building supply.

She owns like the biggest roofing supply company.

I'm telling you, like, if you want to get rich in this country, like, you have to do the most fucking obscure jobs.

It's never like banking.

It's always like, yeah, I invented the patent for like the light bulb or whatever.

Number two, her source is gas stations.

We love a gassy queen.

Number three, her source is healthcare software.

That'll do it.

That'll do it.

Yeah, so it's a very interesting list.

I'm happy for everyone who's charting.

It's inspiring.

I hope to be on that list one day.

And Kim is over a billion.

That's, well, Skims really,

in the last few years, people don't even talk enough.

Like, Skims is

probably more successful, obviously, than KKW Beauty or Kylie Cosmetics, even at Kylie's peak.

Like, Skims is really, it's become a verb, not a verb, a noun.

The way that, like, when people put on shapewear, they say I'm putting on spanks.

Like, now they also say I'm putting on skims.

Like, it's really become ubiquitous.

Yeah.

Also, what I thought was interesting, I forget what category she's under, but I was looking through the categories, and you know who's there at like 300 million or 280 million?

Um,

Emma Greed, who's their business partner.

Yeah,

that's great.

She does very, very smart.

She's a free skims and good American.

Yeah, and I'm sure she has like other businesses that made her qualified to be that partner.

Oh, you know who's on here under skincare?

Kathy Fields and Katie Roden of Rodin and Fields.

Say it ain't so.

Say it ain't so.

A couple MLM queens.

It's a really interesting list.

No, it is.

I got to dive in deep.

Yeah, they make it an easy database, except like they really should do a list of names that you've heard of.

Yeah, but no, I do find it really interesting how like non-famous people become so wealthy, like and what do they do for a living.

Yeah, not all of us can sing, you know, for for our supper.

Yeah, do you remember when we were in Turks and Caicos?

Um, we did like a jet ski tour, and like we were staying at this house, and a few houses down was like the biggest house we'd ever seen in our whole lives.

And the guy's like so famous on the island, everyone knows him.

I think he's from the UK, and we're like, How did he get so rich?

He like has a patent on a type of door.

It's always like the most obscure shit.

We need to invent a door, Turdy Lou.

I know, I just feel like the door is like, it's like been already invented, you know?

Yeah,

It's tough.

We'll figure it out.

We'll think about it.

We'll think about it.

Patreon episode.

Redesigning the order.

Coming up with ideas for how to become billionaires.

Our next episode, a little tailor adjacent news, but not solely focused on Taylor, is that Taylor is bringing Sabrina Carpenter on the Eris tour amid Olivia Rodrigo feud rumors.

So Taylor just dropped her

international dates, but just South America, not like Europe or anything, right?

No, and she said more international tour tour dates are coming, and there have been like rumors about Brazil specifically.

So I guess she's rolling it out in waves.

This one is like very South America.

Yeah, she's going to Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.

And one of her opening acts is Sabrina Carpenter, which, you know, she loves to support a young female talent.

Burgeoning.

But it's notable because Sabrina v.

Olivia was the great feud of 2021.

And Taylor was really quite close with Olivia.

They've tapered off a little bit.

And now Sabrina's here.

What does it mean, Turdy?

No, it's interesting, especially because for the new the American era's tour, it was like a full lineup.

There were like three acts.

Gail, Phoebe Bridgers,

maybe there was just two.

But so Sabrina Carpenter is getting like a full VIP.

There's only one and she's at every show.

That's like kind of major for Sabrina.

Now,

this is interesting.

Like I'm, I'm, I hate to like like look for something when maybe there's nothing there, but I do think there's something here.

The way that like Olivia Rodrigo popped off and Taylor like immediately supported her because olivia rodrigo is the biggest swifty and then taylor released um fearless taylor's version and had olivia rodrigo and conan gray make tick tocks with the tracks to promote it like they were so tight like and so publicly on social media like supporting one another and like i don't know something about this is weird the way that like they they did that and then stopped like acknowledging each other publicly is so weird and now the sabrina carpenter of it all is also weird yeah but i was saying to you that it does not surprise me.

Like, I feel like Taylor is more evolved than being like, oh, I'm going to shut out, ice out the girl who stole your boyfriend.

When, like, first of all, Sabrina didn't like steal anyone's boyfriend.

She was just like the next girl.

And, like, I feel like it's very new

age Taylor feminism to like support both of these girls because like they're both really talented artists and neither of them like did anything wrong to one another.

And I feel like even like Olivia would say that, you know, like there's no.

I think Olivia would say that.

I don't think Sabrina would say that.

Right.

The only person who should really be pissed here is Sabrina.

Right.

Like Sabrina had like a whole smear campaign against her when all she did was like like some kid who was like 11.

And it got because I liked a boy.

Isn't that her song?

Yeah.

All because I liked a boy.

Like All because she liked a boy.

So yeah, Olivia Rodrigo can be like copacetic with everyone, but that's easy to say when the world didn't turn on you in an instant.

Yeah.

Sabrina Carpenter probably is mad and has every right to be mad.

Yeah.

But where there's honestly, there's something going on.

I'm serious.

Like this is weird.

There's something going on.

But I do agree with you.

Like Taylor's so like new age feminist, like so evolved past it.

She wouldn't like have beef with someone and then go be with Sabrina Carpenter.

Like I get it.

And she also wouldn't like penalize Sabrina because she's friends with Olivia and they happen to date the same person.

Like that's just, why are we going to blame women?

No, but you agree.

like there's something weird about this whole thing the weirder part is not only olivia rodrigo and taylor like going so hard and then not though that kind of seems to be a pattern for taylor like

haley steinfeld we were just talking about yeah i guess she like has like friendship um eras yeah which is fine i think people do that um but also like olivia rodrigo

where the

is she is quiet yeah she's been quiet someone actually messaged me something the other day about like it was a video of something and like how this girl like popped off took over the world, like, and like everyone obsessed with her song.

And like, where is she?

Yeah.

I mean,

I know she, I don't think she's on the new season of that high school musical show.

Okay.

I think she's like fully embracing like her pop star era.

She did a very small tour after like this worldwide obsession with her music.

She didn't.

like add more dates, do bigger venues.

She did the tour and then went very MIA.

Like I feel like she's probably working on new music, but like she's not also like participating in.

Well, she was at the Met Gala.

Yeah, but still, like, where was she?

I didn't see her.

No, she's quiet.

She's

quiet.

She's fading.

Yeah.

Intentionally or unintentionally, I don't know.

It feels a little intentional.

It feels intentional.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Maybe it was too much.

It's the Addison effect.

Right, our queen.

Yeah.

So that's just interesting.

No, it is.

Speaking Speaking of interesting beef, are you ready for our next story?

Gordon Ramsey has one.

Malcolm Gladwell, Steve Martin, Esther Perel, Mariah Carey.

So, whatever it is that you're like looking for, like for me, I definitely go on the platform and look for like more like social marketing influencer vibes.

But if you want to get into cooking, I mean, Gordon Ramsey teaching you, and you don't have to like actually be in his presence so he can't call you any names.

Like you could learn the whole industry from the comfort of your bed.

And Turdy, what do we love about bed?

I think a better question is, what don't we love about bed?

Trails.

Today's episode is also brought to you by our favorite, The Perfect Bar, the original refrigerated protein bar that you know and love.

And if you haven't heard, Perfect Bar just launched a new line of protein bars called Perfect Bar Layers that Jackie was actually eating in the doctor's office this morning.

I was.

I had one in my pocket throughout the day.

Perfect Bar Layers are a new line of crispy protein bars that are stacked with three delicious layers and packed with whole food nutrition.

They're made with a crispy base of peanut butter and cashew butter.

They're layered with dark chocolate or 100% real fruit and then they're sprinkled with toasted gluten-free oats.

They're packed with up to 11 grams of protein and they come in two delicious flavors, crispy peanut butter and chocolate and a crispy peanut butter and berry, which is basically like a healthy peanut butter and jelly.

They're made with only whole food ingredients, which means that they are stored in the fridge, which is just kind of a relief and makes you question every other bar that's not stored in the fridge.

They're a classic blend of 20 organic superfoods, and they also contain no artificial preservatives.

If you aren't convinced already, they're also non-GMO project verified, gluten-free, soy-free, kosher, and low GI.

The best part is that you can now find them in the refrigerated section at Target nationwide.

Perfect Bar knows that it'll be love at first bite, so they're offering you a chance to try their new refrigerated protein bars for free.

Here's how it works.

Sign up for email or texts and upload a picture of your receipt from your local grocery store and they'll reimburse you for the cost of one bar.

It'll go directly into your Venmo or your PayPal account, which is pretty cool.

All you have to do is go to perfectsnacks.com slash toast to get a free perfect bar today.

That's perfectsnacks.com slash toast to get a free perfect bar today.

Happy snacking.

Happy snacking.

I had that peanut butter and jelly one yesterday and it was mad good.

Mad good, bro.

Next up, Shark Tank star Damon John files for a restraining order.

Against former contestants.

This is crazy.

Damon John has filed for a temporary restraining order against former contestants.

Hold on.

I'm having such bad heartburn.

Okay.

Do you want me to edit this out?

No, no, I'll be back in a second.

I'm not going through.

I'll be back.

Breathe through your nose.

You want a tum or something?

They're over yonder.

I'm good.

I'm good.

It was just a passing thing.

I just didn't want to keep like.

No, like choking on your words.

I understand.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

After they claimed that he tried to cut them out of their due profits, the celebrity investor, Damon, requested the order against Al Bubba Baker, his wife Sabrina Baker, and their daughter, Brittany Bo Baker, who have publicly claimed that Damon John attempted to overtake their Bubba's Q boneless baby back ribs truck.

Damon

me too.

Damon spokesperson Zach Rosenfeld denied the claims made by the Baker family and explained why his client is pursuing such an extreme request.

According to Rosenfield, there have been repeated attempts to give the bakers the ability to correct their violations.

It is unfortunate that it has come to this.

This temporary restraining order is due to the bakers' blatant actions to undermine a business partnership and the legal parameters they agreed to four years ago.

Their belief that they can unwind poor business decisions through slanderous social media posts and articles will no longer be tolerated.

Damn, by the way, this is messy.

And you know what's so interesting is that this really has not happened with any sharks and their investments.

Like, I think

I'm going to, I think, side with Damon John on this just because he has like a track record of being like a good in

not what's the word integritis in is that a word like when you have integrity like integrity integral integral but that means something different integrity filled

integrity filled like business person i think a lot of people he has many successes from shark tank so if there was like a

a history of him like exploiting small businesses and taking over first of all i don't know if you know of all the things he's invested in would he try and take over a

ribs truck i think his his most

valuable

investment was that comb that ended up getting like licensed by all these companies.

Like he, if he was going to take over, he was going to take over something much bigger.

Yeah, I agree.

I'm intended to

side with Damon.

I think, I don't think we have any idea like what happened.

The LA Times had reported that the bakers claimed that they were offered $300,000 for 30% of the company when they were on the show, but then they went on, like Damon went on to revise the terms of the investment instead, offering $100,000 for 35% of the company.

And he also wanted to take the company into business with Rostelli Foods Group.

But that's kind of congruous with what we know about Shark Tank.

I feel like so many of the deals fall through.

And it wouldn't be surprising if a deal changes after the show, because then they do get to see like actual paperwork.

Like on the show, you could say, oh, I did this much in revenue.

But then when you go to sign the deal, like if it doesn't add up, you don't get a deal.

But maybe like the deal just changes too.

You know, the deals that they make in the Shark Tank are predicated on everything that person pitched being 100% true.

And it's not like once they shake hands, like the deal is done.

They actually like do all the paperwork.

And the people who are business owners have to provide, like, yeah, we actually did do $2 million last year.

And if they lied or they fudge some numbers, like their valuation goes down.

And then that makes the investor want to change their deal.

And I think if you're like a true Shark Tank fan, you know that A, 50% of the deals that are made on TV actually don't even go through.

And afterwards, they're subject to change.

Yeah.

Also,

I think it's not even like about lying, but when you in any business like you have so many papers, you have so many numbers, like maybe you didn't, it didn't come up how much, how many employees you have and how much salary.

Or that you have some debt.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like things just don't come up.

You get to see a hundred percent what the business is and is that what you thought it was?

They are able to go back on their initial offer.

So

again, I'm with you.

Like Damon has a very good track record.

This is one out of many deals that's gone.

Yeah.

It's the only one that's gone south, it seems.

So I also don't think he would take such

big like uh

steps in like such strong yeah such a strong reaction if he was in the wrong like I feel like he'd just make it go away yeah I'm inclined to to side with Damon on this one yeah but very interesting yes our fifth and final story is a little biz news that I find so interesting that

it's a perfect Friday fifth and final it is because they were good stories Jackie thank you what they were good stories today right They were story.

They were giving.

They were giving story.

They were giving story.

It's giving story.

Yeah.

The New York Post published an article yesterday saying that your favorite takeout joint is actually a catfishing scam, and it's totally legal.

So they did this whole write-up on this bodega-type restaurant.

It's called Gourmet Deli.

There's one in the city.

It's on 90th Street and First Avenue.

And from the outside, it seems like every other deli is spread across the city.

On a typical morning, various locals pop in for

bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, coffee.

But another wave of customers is flooding in through food delivery apps, only they don't know they're ordering from a bodega.

The deli located on First Avenue is advertised as no less than 27 different restaurants across Uber Eats, Postmates, Grubhub, Seamless, and DoorDash.

On those platforms, it's listed as all as 27 different things.

I'm gonna read you some so you can see what they're doing.

One, First Avenue gourmet deli.

Next, Hero Sandwich Shop.

Next, Boss Cat Cheesesteaks.

Next, the Pancake Snob.

Next, Wraps on Tap.

Next, Insomnia Buffalo Wiggle.

By the way, I would 100% order from a place called Wraps on Tap.

No, I know.

They sell all these things at their huge deli, so they've sectioned it out to be like a glitzier idea of something.

Because honestly, I don't know that I would order from gourmet deli.

I would not.

But I might order from Tina's tea shop.

I would definitely order from Sandwich Slut.

The Sandwich Slut is here, Empire State Panini, Seth's sandwiches.

Who's Seth?

I don't know.

I don't care.

No, Jackie, I have to say, this should not be illegal and it's not.

It is the most genius thing.

And it also, it kind of taps into like,

you know, user culture on these apps.

Like, you're so persuaded by like the restaurant's name and like their pictures that even if you've never been to this place, you've never heard of this place, there's like a formula in the algorithm that'll get you.

This is brilliant.

Like, I have to say, I'm beyond impressed to me.

I think some people are like, this is, you know, just set deceitful.

I think this is the smartest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life.

This is just smart business, like, some small business owner being resourceful, like seeing what's going on in the marketplace and adjusting.

Also, what's also interesting is that the prices for everything changes based on where you're ordering from, also, versus if you go into the store.

So, Princess Panini, Empire State Panini, and Panini Fantasy, which are all gourmetly,

all offer a tuna melt for $16 to $17,

but First Avenue Gourmet Deli sells theirs for $9.

But they really are tapping into like this aesthetic, the way that people are so like caught up with pictures and how things look.

I think they're just playing the game.

They are living in the future, my friend.

And you know what?

You and I love to order from this ghost kitchen.

Yes.

Well, so this is the article says that for a while, all of these places were confused with ghost kitchens because ghost kitchens popped up during the pandemic.

They sprang up as like businesses in brick and mortar spaces that only do delivery.

So it's not a restaurant.

You can't go in there, but they like took over old restaurants.

Just a commercial kitchen.

And they rented a new crew to do delivery-only kitchen.

And there is one ghost kitchen that we love so much.

And the thing is, the delivery comes good because it's made for delivery.

Like, honestly, I'd rather order from a ghost kitchen than order from Nobu.

It comes like shit because they don't care about their delivery.

They're not a delivery business.

No, ghost kitchens are genius, but now I'm definitely suspicious.

Yeah.

Well, like, so ghost kitchens are a separate thing where, like, that is a restaurant.

There's only one of them.

This is, I guess, like some sort of digital eats catfishing.

I just think they're playing chess.

No, if I could meet the man or woman whose idea this was, like, I would shake their hand.

It's so genius.

It's so genius.

And as long as the food is good.

So, the only criticism that people have, which I guess you could say is, like, uh,

legit, is that

the it kind of violates some health code stuff because most delis and bodegas in the city are classified as stores, supermarkets, and man, and food manufacturers.

And they're regulated by New York State's Department of Agriculture and Markets, not the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

So they're not like they have different rating systems for like cleanliness and stuff in a supermarket versus a restaurant.

So I guess it's like more open to

issues,

like the letter grades and expense inspections aren't the same.

I don't care.

But I don't care.

No,

I literally love this.

What's also interesting is in this article, they said that in some cases, chain restaurants that you know, like Denny's, list itself as a different brand to appeal to more customers online for delivery only.

Like Denny's has delivery only called the Meltdown.

Okay, I have experienced this not in New York.

Always when I'm on tour and I'm like the room service and the hotel is closed, I'll go to Uber Eats.

And I'm like, oh, I've never heard of this.

I ordered like, okay, I ordered like a grilled chicken sandwich from like this cool it was called like american pub it was just like bar food

i literally got it the bag and i opened and all the wrap like the wrapper on the sandwich the bag was red robin

wow

and you know what i didn't even care because it was literally one of the best sandwiches i've ever had yeah that's the thing like if it's good it's good if it arrives like the pictures say like then Okay, so you got played.

Sorry.

You got played, but it's so interesting.

But did you even like,

you got your sandwich.

You got what you asked for second for a second i thought i got the wrong order because i'm like did i order from red robin and i checked and i didn't and i was like damn well i can't get i can't communicate with the guy because the order's over let me see what this person ordered and it was quite literally what i ordered that's how i realized i had been catfished but it was okay with you it's like maybe you get catfished sometimes by someone that you actually are attracted to were meant to be with and like would love

And it's a happy ending.

It was a happy ending for me and my Red Robin sandwich.

And you know what?

I don't think at that point I had ever had Red Robin.

And now Red Robin's fucking good.

Red Robin's.

No, I was definitely hooked on Red Robin.

And then it was like, your biases were stopping you from ordering from there.

So they needed to rebrand.

Quite literally.

Yeah.

And like, I could see myself, I wouldn't order from gourmetli, but like, Princess Panini, like, I'm hungry.

No, it's Jackie.

I'm telling you, when you sent me this article yesterday, I was obsessed.

I think this is the best idea on the planet.

No, this is a smart businessman or woman who is playing the hand that they're dealt.

Yeah.

And I love it.

And this tweet at the end sums it up for me.

Whatever, man.

Is the food good?

Did you die?

All right, then.

Gonna order.

Shit.

No, it's shit.

So true.

Well, those are really good stories, really.

Thank you.

Let us know what you think about catfishing restaurants.

But you know what they should do next at Gourmade Deli?

They should inside have like a little sign that says Princess Panini's next to the sandwich slut.

Like, and also known as

also known as.

They should really change the name of their deli to also known as.

And I'm like a little annoyed at the New York Post for blowing up their spot.

I know, but they gave us something to talk about, and I'm obsessed.

Yeah, and now I can like really feel like the ingenue and American creativity like is not gone.

No, we're back on track, baby.

America first.

This person should be head of the economy.

Agreed.

Yeah.

So those are the stories.

That was your show.

That was your week.

And it was fabulous.

Next week is still very much up in the air.

Jax is going to take it day by day.

We'll see how she feels on Monday.

We'll probably do a mix of audio only,

Ben on the toast, Satch on the toast, Taylor on the toast, if that's okay with everyone.

That's okay with me.

I'm here to do audio only, but I know Turdy's got to be seen.

She's got to see and be seen.

No, I'm literally seen NBC.

But we'll do like the Monday post and post-Vanderpump for sure will be us, like the big oh, that's a good call.

Monday and Thursday, definitely Jackson Claude.

Yeah, but you never know.
