Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast.

Happy Thursday.

Hope everyone's having a blessed day thus far.

It is the latter half of the week.

Speaking of blessings,

here's one of mine, Jackie L.

That's so sweet.

You know, just how to butter me up, considering what you've done.

I've done nothing.

No, you've done nothing.

Like,

what you've done is technically standard procedure here at the toast.

Sometimes when one is traveling, we have to record the night before, which is not a big deal.

We did it a few times last week.

I just am broken this evening.

I've been broken down.

And when you, we were not sure if we were going to record at night or in the morning.

I was, you know, just hoping it would be the morning.

And then you said it would have to be tonight.

And it just wasn't an ideal situation for me.

Now, of course, you have to do what you have to do and we have to do what we have to do.

And I will give this show everything that I have.

Jackie, just know I'm suffering.

Oh, you are?

You want to know why?

Um, I think I know, but I'm sure you want to let everyone know why.

No, you don't even know.

This is like a new update in my life.

Oh.

I ordered room service.

I got a sandwich.

It came with chips.

Now, I know you think that's like an acceptable substitute for french fries, but I'm just here to tell you it's not.

No, I'm here to tell you that it is.

And we were kind of talking about my suffering.

No, because I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in your suffering.

Like, I'm here to.

I'm suffering too.

I kind of feel like you just monopolized on my suffering.

I was taking a moment to complain about myself, you know, just...

I was feeling like sharing my unhappiness and you kind of took that from me.

Well, I was more so just trying to relate to you on like a suffering level.

Yeah, yeah, I don't see chips as sufferance, but you're so wrong about that, girl.

Like, you're so wrong.

No, you're so wrong, especially for a sandwich.

A sandwich is arguably better with chips.

Oh my God, that's such a lie.

That's so natural.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

Like, a fry is

always good.

I'll never turn one down.

I would literally have fries with pasta.

But for a sandwich,

no.

I'm team chip was it a kettle chip let me show you I didn't even eat was it a ridge

it looks like you know homemade I really it has a little bit of personality yeah and I really like chips like period especially from a restaurant from a bag totally different like love a chip for a snack but a restaurant serving chips it's like come on do more

well I don't feel sorry for you for that, but I know you've had a long travel day.

I know some things didn't go your way this evening.

I don't want to spray.

I don't want to spoil it because I'm vlogging, but my flight here was crazy.

I'm not going to spoil it though.

Okay, great.

I'm excited to watch your vlog.

We're just kind of loving the adventures of Turdy Lou.

I know.

And like so far, the vlog has literally just been me.

Margo hasn't landed here in Dallas yet.

It's like 8 p.m.

She doesn't land for a little bit.

She flew after work.

So it's kind of just been the adventures of like turdy being lonely and like eating her way through the airport and Frisco.

The adventures of Turdy Lonely.

Turdy Lonely.

Rebrand.

Turdy Lonesome.

Well, I don't know if you know this, but usually your vlogs are mostly you.

So

we're used to that.

Like even Nashville, we got a whole lot of turdy.

No, I think they were like on their mule in the long.

I think there were lots of other, like supplemental characters.

Of course, it's it's our Patreon.

Like who should be the star?

Abe?

I

maybe, honestly, because of the praying call.

Maybe.

Yeah.

Well, you know, really quick update from our show that aired on Wednesday.

I did get in contact with one of my teachers.

I totally forgot to tell you.

She texted me.

The one you were hoping to get in contact with?

No, but

I welcomed contact nonetheless, and it was so nice to be reconnected.

So, you know what?

It's all good.

Also, someone did comment on one of our various...

media images from Wednesday's episode that they know Miss Scheinbein.

She was her teacher in Israel, and she's got the hookup.

Oh my God, she can connect me with Miss Sheinbein.

Yeah.

Oh, I didn't see that comment, or else I would have literally responded immediately.

Yeah, no, I was in the comments because yesterday's episode was just so funny.

I just wanted to see if everyone was chuckling along.

So, honestly, I think some of our best work, and we just rolled into the office.

It wasn't, I don't even know if it was our best work because sometimes our funniness is like really smart, funny, and just like

on point.

And I wouldn't say it was like on point.

It was just

like ridiculous.

Unhinged.

You know, I don't think it would be our most on point comedy ever.

Like it wasn't, you know,

like a state of comedy.

It wasn't on point comedy.

We were just having a good time.

Sisterly, like unhingedness.

Sisterly nonsense.

Sisterly nonsense.

Yeah.

And I'm hoping, you know, to go round two with Jackie O and Dirty.

You might get some sisterly nonsense because when we have the sisters after dark, it's always a different flavor.

Yeah, that's so true.

Nighttime recording is a lot of fun.

are exhausted we are exhausted sisters i'm a very i think patient person and i do think like my patience is running low tonight so who knows what we'll get was roldy i don't know if turdy was roldy acting out no no he was great i don't know i well i did cook dinner so i was on my feet for a while and i guess that

that wasn't the best idea knowing i had to podcast but i just today drained me turning marlo that's all you had to say listen you're pregnant like you're allowed to be tired.

Like give yourself some grace.

A lot of walking, the cooking, like I just, at eight o'clock, I just kind of am like done for the day.

And then here comes Turdy.

Hey, girl, we actually have to podcast tonight.

Yeah, but I'm all set up and my complaining is done.

I'm going to close the book up.

Okay, so officially, it's over.

We can't complain anymore.

I'm not going to complain, but I do.

I'm still like feeling the way that I feel.

So I just feel like Turdy's not going to get away with her typical turdiness.

By the way, that's how I felt yesterday.

Remember, I told you I was like feeling down at the beginning of yesterday's episode, and not yesterday, sorry, Tuesday.

And the toast has healing restorative properties.

And by the end of it, I was feeling great.

So maybe that'll happen to you.

Maybe you'll get a second win.

Maybe go for a run or something.

Yeah, for sure.

Right?

Yeah, no, maybe I'll be like well enough to read after this.

Oh, you know, I'm reading my book for Book Club.

The one that Margo says is like, literally, I love this book so much.

It's the best thing that ever happened to me.

I love this book, la la la.

And me and Margo are like it.

You know it.

You know it.

You know which island I'm talking.

I don't even have to to say the title, right?

It's Things in Which We Left in the Mailbox.

It's called Things We Leave Unfinished and there is a mailbox on the cover.

And so my book club chose it for their book club because Margo's saying such high praises and me and Margo have really similar tastes in book, in books.

And she was like, you have to read it.

You have to read it.

And I can't wait till she gets here because I have to tell her how I'm fucking hating this book.

Like with my entire soul, like it was making me angry on the plane that I had to read this book.

I don't know how I'm going to break it to counts.

I think she's going to be so devastated.

And I'm 40% 40% in.

It's not nothing.

Like, oh my God, it's just insufferably slow.

Well, definitely vlog you telling her.

Oh, good idea.

Do like a hidden camera.

You're uncanny camera.

We can get to see the real counts.

Oh my gosh, she like slaps me.

I feel like people don't know the real counts.

Do you feel like they know her?

That's actually a really good question.

Like, and I don't think it's because she like obfuscates and puts out a version of herself that she's not, but I just feel like it's so hard to peel away the layers and get to know the real counts that it's actually impossible for people who haven't known her for 26 years to be able to.

I also think she is extremely dynamic.

Like, I don't even know if I could pinpoint who the real Satch is, you know, like, do we even know the real counts?

I don't know.

I don't, like, there's so many different versions of her, and she's still very young.

She's coming into her own.

Maybe she doesn't even know the real counts.

Interesting.

Yeah.

I think there's like a couple different versions of her and that we know them all, but like, I wonder which one is the real her.

It's like Kylie, you know, I feel like Kylie went through a period like that when they were filming Kardashians.

It was just, who is hashtag, who was Kylie Jenner?

Maybe when you're vlogging, you could ask Margo, be like, by the way, I just have a question for you.

Who's the real counts?

No, yeah, she worked at nine-to-five, got on a four-hour flight, and then is going to come to the hotel and be like, shut the fuck up, you annoying ugly bitch.

Sit her down like it's a confessional on Love is Blind, like on the bed.

Yeah.

And say, people want to know who's the real counts.

Like, is she really that sweet little sis who just warms the heart?

Or is she like that big, scary, cool girl?

Fiery.

Who we're scared of.

Fiery.

Who we're scared of.

Who we're scared of.

Yeah.

Who, which sister would you say you're most afraid of?

You.

I would say you too.

I think that's good.

Maybe it's because we work together, so there's like an added level.

No, I mean, yes, sure, whatever.

Like, but no, it's you for sure.

Why?

You know know what maybe i don't want to know

like am i gonna be hurt by your response no

no i don't think you would be hurt but i don't know if i could put it to words when we were growing up we were all afraid of olivia but like as we should have been she was like the scary older one and she held all the power because she was always in charge but i also feel like we're all weirdly scared of margo now yeah because we just want her to love and accept us

Yeah.

But I actually feel like the argument, like, we are all in some ways scared of Olivia.

We're all in some ways scared of you.

I feel like the intonation on all like was a little unnecessary fucking bitch.

I think we're all scared of turdy.

Yeah.

I think you guys would say like you're all scared of me.

All the time.

Yeah.

And we are all scared of Marco.

I think that's good because fear really does equal respect.

No, yeah, you need a healthy combo of fear and love.

It's all about striking the right balance, which I think that we've struck.

Yeah.

Also, I feel like I was having this conversation with my like high school friends recently, how like we all grew up like afraid of our parents and how like we're actually grateful for that now.

And it sounds crazy, like you're afraid of your parents.

No, but there was like a level of authority and fear, like the same way you never want to be sent to the principal's office.

Like that's a good thing.

It keeps you in check.

It needs to mean something.

Right.

Like that level of authority.

Yeah.

Just a conversation I was having with my friends that I decided to share.

Yeah, no, I don't think that is a hot take.

Like I think that that is good parenting to have both fear, instill fear and love in your children.

right?

Right, right.

Because fear really does in my experience, most of the time, like equal respect eventually.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah.

You can't have all fear, no, you also can't, you can't have love without fear either.

Otherwise, you're just walk all over you.

Do you think you are you ever afraid of your husband?

I sometimes am.

Not your husband, mine.

I'm trying, like, I don't

because, like,

I guess, but, like more so in the way of like my imagination like not anything that has actually happened but like what I think could happen see mine is like because Ben you know I get away with a lot with Ben like I'm always like being annoying whatever you're worried he's gonna snap no no no sometimes he does like sometimes I take shit too far and then I get really afraid because it's like it took this man a lot to get to this point like I've officially taken it too far and then I'm afraid of him because like he has all the power you know

yeah but it's because he does something that made you afraid or no no just because like I guess, yeah, it's like imagination.

It's imagination.

Like, is this man about to fucking snap?

No, but like, and I'm sure our husbands would have the same answer.

Like, are they afraid of us?

Absolutely.

Like, they should be.

Absolutely, they're afraid of us.

They absolutely should be.

But I actually don't think like you should be afraid of your husband.

No, no, me neither.

Cause I just don't know.

But I do think husbands, husbands should be afraid of their wives.

Gender rules are real.

And like, that's why I'm personally not for like gender equality because I would like my husband to be afraid of me and I don't want to be afraid of my husband.

100%.

And that's just pretty much my thesis on gender studies.

And I think you've nailed the course, Turdy Lou.

Do you think they'd ever let me teach a class on gender studies in any sort of accredited university?

Maybe clown college, but.

I feel like clowns are actually genderless.

That's like an amazing point.

They all wear the same kind of wig.

They all wear the same makeup.

And they wear the same outfits.

They're like these silhouetteless jumpsuits.

Yeah, it's not like like the girl clowns wear a dress and the boy clowns wear a pant.

No, because you're 100% right.

Clowns are genderless.

You couldn't teach there either.

I couldn't teach at clown college.

Clowns.

Agendless.

Like I, this is a crazy revelation for me.

Yeah.

Oh my god.

So you learn something new every day.

When you listen to the toast.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we should dive in, correct?

Because we have five stories.

We do have five stories.

One, two, three, four, five.

Five, right?

Yeah.

It's one less than six, but one more than four.

One less than six.

Oh, so five.

Yeah, you could say five if like you really wanted to, if you needed to put a number to it.

Right.

Like if I, if we're putting labels on things, like it would be five.

If we're putting labels on things, it would be the fast five.

Oh, now they're fast.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, they actually are pretty fast.

They're not like crazy substantial.

No, no, but I think they're going to be a lot of fun.

I like it a lot.

You didn't give me enough time between yesterday's show and today's show.

I know, I know.

For more stories to happen.

Hopefully, like nothing crazy happens tonight that like by the time our episode like would have come out tomorrow, like we could have done like an hour-long episode.

Like Kim Kardashian gets secretly eloped or something, you know?

You know what?

That never happens.

It just, it doesn't.

The only thing we're missing out on is not being able to recap the inner pump rules.

Sorry, guys.

I take this one on the chin.

Like I'm just booked and busy and I'm so grateful to be so booked and busy.

And I'm sorry.

Next week is the finale, so we'll have our recap then.

Oh, wow.

I'm excited.

Yeah.

Also, so random.

I saw Lala did like another episode of her podcast, you know, bombshells.

But one of the bombshells that she spoke that came out was that they actually have edited the final episodes of the season, unlike Andy said.

Yeah, what I heard when I said that last week was that Andy maintained that they hadn't edited the next episode of Vanderpunk Rules, like right after Scandivall broke, but they edited the season.

So

that would make sense.

Yeah, that would make sense.

Whatever.

Semantics.

So now...

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

And I'm jazzed because today's lead sponsor, Skims.

I'm wearing Skims right now.

Jackie, you know what?

I too am wearing Skims right now.

So, Skims Everybody collection, the bra way.

Me too.

So, Skims is the solution-oriented brand creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear, and shapewear for everybody.

So, we've been wearing skims for many years because Jackie and I are breast experts.

We're brexperts.

We're looking for bras, all different types of bras.

Personally, right now, I'm wearing what Ben likes to call my relaxation bra, but I need, you know, t-shirt bras.

I need everyday bras.

And I have to say, the fits everybody collection of underwear, form-fitting essentials, all of it is so fabulous.

They're really size-inclusive.

They go from extra, extra small to 4x.

I have so many of the relaxation bras that I like are the racer back bralette.

That's what I'm wearing right now.

I also love the t-shirt bra.

Like I have boob problems.

I know, Jackie, like all different phases of your boobs of the last two years.

Like you have turned to skims for help.

Is that correct?

Yes, I have.

Right now, I'm in my size large fits every bralette, fits everybody bralette era because it's like my comfort bra, but also like my bra when I'm wearing a sweatshirt and I don't want to be wearing something with a clasp.

But their bralettes are the best strapless bras.

You're welcome, Jackie.

Our first story: some baby name news, long awaited.

The name of Rihanna and ASAP Rocky's baby boy has finally been revealed.

Are you ready?

Have you heard it yet?

I did.

Rihanna and Acep Rocky have reportedly named their baby boy RZA Athelston Mayers, according to Daily Mail.

Their son is seemingly named after the producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang clan.

So I'm not sure if it's pronounced RZA or Ruzza, but they're all capital letters.

So I'm inclined to say RZA.

Oh, really?

I'm inclined to say Rizza, like Siza.

Siza is S-Z-A.

That was like my initial association, but I'm not entirely sure.

This is giving Elon Musk.

I just feel like, I feel like it would be so me to say like Rizza, and then people would be like, Jackie, it's R-Z-A, you know?

No, of course, that's like Elon Musk.

Like, we were like trying to pronounce it.

Yeah, no, a little different, but I do feel like,

I don't know, it's like very Maj Dijon.

Like, I'm like, I'm overthinking it.

I also feel like we will eventually learn like what they're calling the baby.

Similar to how we found out like they were calling Elon Musk's baby X, you know?

Yeah, baby X.

Or Angel.

Remember, they were calling him Angel too?

Yeah, no, they call him Baby X.

Right, so maybe baby Riz.

That's like actually really cute.

Yeah, really cute.

I wonder why now they've released the name.

It's just so interesting, this new trend of like celebrities not telling us their baby names, like for a really long time.

Yeah.

Like I thought it was just a Kardashian thing, but no.

Yeah, I mean, take all the time you need.

It's hard to name people.

It's hard to name people.

Like maybe they're not telling us because they're having a hard time choosing.

Yeah.

It's also just so interesting how like the genesis of like celebrity baby announcements.

I feel like the one I remember like from growing up was when everybody wanted to know Angelina and

Angelina and Brad Pitts baby's name and they like were on the cover of people and it was like Shiloh and it was like the biggest deal People magazine cover.

And now they do it in like Instagram and like Instagram stories.

It's just so interesting how that's like evolved.

Yeah, I feel like a celebrity baby name that always sticks out to me is Apple Mark.

Of course.

Like she broke the fucking internet with that.

Yeah.

She broke the printing press.

Yeah, it was before the internet.

Like I remember literally where that's actually such a good call because I literally remember where I was when someone was like Apple and I was like what?

It was like six.

I'm like, that's not a name.

That's not a name.

That's literally what I said.

No, but it's actually a really cute name.

It's also kind of crazy how her kids are named Apple and Moses.

Very biblical.

Because Moses is very traditional, and Apple is very new.

Yeah, but both Moses and the Apple were in.

Maybe she's just like an Old Testament girl.

She does have like a Jewish lineage, Gwyneth.

You think the Apple was an ode to the Garden of Eden?

I mean, Eden would have been more obvious, Eden and Moses, but yeah, it still could be.

Eve.

Maybe their next baby would have been like Snake.

No.

No.

Yeah, I guess I never realized like those two names are like so polar opposite.

Yeah.

Get you a girl who can do both.

But then it's just weird how like celebrities release baby names and it's like so crazy to us.

And then over time they just become names.

Like North is a name.

Yeah.

That's weird.

It is, but

you just get used to it.

Right.

And then like if somebody else like in my life is like, oh, my baby's name is like like Som.

I'm like, oh, so cute.

Like, it's a name now.

Oh, so cute.

No, I mean, I guess, like, if somebody knew, like, named their baby Som, I'd be like, okay, that's like weird, but okay, go off.

Even it was just Som's birthday, and they were singing happy birthday to him.

And in the video, like, people didn't know what to call him.

Like, because I think they also call him like Sam.

And like Sammy, or I think it's like Som, Salmy, Sam, Sammy.

And when it was like, happy birthday,

dear,

everyone kind of like flustered it.

It was like a restaurant where we don't know the person's name.

Yeah, I was giving like Coldstone Creamery energy.

That's a good call.

But also, I also think everybody pronounces Psalm differently.

Like, you kind of say the L.

I just heard it.

Psalm.

Psalm.

But like, I think it's psalm.

Yeah, I don't say psalm.

I don't say that word in a lot in my life.

I kind of just go phonetically.

But I am a phonetic girl.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I'm not hooked on phonetics.

It's not a word we use.

It's a Catholic word, correct?

No, it's

a

Christian word.

I'm sorry.

And is it, what does it mean?

It means like chapter and verse, right?

Yeah, it's like a passook.

Passook, yeah.

Okay, I was thinking what like the Old Testament translation.

Yeah.

Interesting, yeah.

So I don't find myself saying it, but I do feel like everybody says it differently, which makes it hard to like have it as your name.

Yeah.

What do you think is Kim's best name?

Or actually, what do you think is the Kardashians' best name for the grandkids?

Okay, so we have North Saint Chicago Psalm,

Mason, Penelope, and Rain,

Stormalou,

Air.

True.

Truedale.

Don't forget about Dream.

And Tristan.

I mean,

what's his name?

Topper?

What did they name him?

Topher.

Topher.

No, they didn't.

Truston.

Tristan.

No, that's his father.

We just reported on it this week what they named.

Yeah, it's

Topher.

Topper.

Tatum.

Tatum.

I got stuck in OBX land.

You know what?

Maybe Rain.

Yeah, but you know what?

I feel like it also depends on the nicknames because if we're going by nicknames, I think Shy is so cute.

But just names, I actually love the name Penelope.

Yeah.

So I guess we would say Courtney did, in our opinion, the most favorable.

And also, Mason is such a popular name now.

And when she named him Mason, it was like a pretty like new,

not popular name.

No, you're right.

So she's kind of ahead of her time.

It's also so crazy, like when you think about the times, like there was such a long period of time in the Kardashians where Courtney was the only one who was a mom.

Yeah.

Well, because she got, I think she got pregnant on accident.

But it was just like...

Did she?

Like, she did not expect to be pregnant.

They were not trying.

Oh, I don't remember.

Like, I think, remember, they found out, they found out, like, Courtney and Chloe take Miami or whatever.

Yeah.

But that doesn't mean that they weren't trying, that they, like.

Oh, I guess.

That doesn't mean, yeah.

Because it's not like she wanted to be married or anything.

So.

Right, right.

Yeah.

What was the story?

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky.

Oh, Rizza.

Yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait till like she drops it in like an interview or a podcast or something in terms of pronunciation.

She should do a podcast.

We would love to have her.

Yeah, we would, but she really should do any podcast.

Like,

armchair expert.

Yeah.

Joe Rogan.

It's so many years since like she's really been very public.

And so much has happened in her life.

Yeah, I don't like, and she hasn't been very public since podcasting has been what it is.

Like,

we need a three-hour Rihanna interview.

So true.

Oh, also, I don't know if you've seen footage.

Beyonce kicked off her Renaissance tour.

I saw one video.

She looked unreal.

The outfits are the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life i've only seen one outfit rainbow and it was gorgeous what rainbow uh multicolored multicolored yeah long sleeved like mini dress yes same actually i saw a few jumpsuits it looks like a production like it looks major

That's sick.

I'm excited for everyone who's going.

And everyone is like, you know, gooped and gagged because in her pre-show playlist, like while people filled in the stadiums, there was Taylor Swept.

So everyone was like, what does it mean?

Means nothing.

It means it's a good fucking song and it's going to bring the right energy to the stadium.

Right.

And she's like a really popular artist.

And what do you play at like stadiums?

You play popular music.

Right.

Right.

Glad that we sorted that one.

Are you ready for our next story?

I really, truly am.

Andy Cohen regrets not having Megan Markle as a Watch What Happens live guest.

Oh my God, totally.

So Andy revealed he regrets not having Megan to Watch What Happens Live during her time on suits and before she married Prince Harry.

Right.

She was perfect for it.

Perfect.

in his recently released book daddy diaries he explained that megan had pitched herself as a fan of the real house eyes of orange county but he had nixed her as a guest he said looking back at the offer he made a huge mistake he explained in his book that the reason he passed on her offer was that he always thought that suits looked like some simulation of a tv show to him like it was shot on tape and broadcast in a vacuum agreed i just want to say that is like a stunning analysis like of how a lot of people who don't watch suits and never did, like, perceived the show.

Cause it was on like USA, which is like a fake ass fucking network.

And like, it weirdly had this cult following, but there was like nobody famous in it.

That's actually so gorgeous.

And I didn't realize Andy's book was out.

I'm like a little annoyed that, like, these excerpts are coming out because I'm going to read them.

But I, like, this stories like this make me want to read the book.

This, this is the type of shit that, like, is perfect for a celebrity memoir.

Andy does memoirs really well.

Yeah.

So he said that he managed to make amends with Megan when he was one of three male guests on her podcast, Archetype.

So I guess all's good there, but obviously like she's not going to the clubhouse now when back in the day she would have.

And I'm sure, you know, he would have, between the games and the questions that they asked, there would have been some funny sound bites that came from it that we could all look back on now.

She's probably immensely grateful that she was turned down and she would literally, like, I think, I don't think there's actually a worse platform that she could go on.

Because like she's very tight-lipped.

There's like a lot going on with her family and stuff.

And like Andy is just out of control.

And the user, and the people come on, you know, the Zoom, like ask questions directly to, like, it's chaos.

Somebody who has like so much scandal, like, and just like chatter and gossip around them is not the right person for Watch Robins Live.

No, but I think that if she did it, like, there would be certain things that Andy would not ask about, but in exchange for her giving like a little tea.

And maybe if she is a fan of some housewives, like they would really just focus on like her on housewives.

Honestly, I think it would be really good for her to do something like that and to do interviews that are like less stiff than some of the stuff that she typically gives us.

That's actually a really good point.

It would be definitely like a one-on-one, very similar to how like Jennifer Lawrence, it was like this big special and they just basically brought out Jax and like all these Van Prim Broles people to like talk to her.

Right.

Right.

It wasn't even so much an interview, but more like a super fan, 30-minute thing for Jennifer Lawrence.

And I feel like he could easily do that with her.

Yeah, it's actually like a really good call.

So I don't think it's out of the question.

I wonder if they have any sort of, actually, they probably have like a decent relationship because now that I think about it, I didn't know that Andy was one of the few guests on her podcast, but there was like not a lot of she doesn't have like a lot of celebrity friends that like we see her out and about with, so she tapped Andy to come on her podcast.

Like, they obviously have a good relationship.

That's like now that I didn't know that, that's like kind of crazy.

There was like Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton on the podcast, and like Andy.

Yeah, but I mean, you remember like the highlight guests, but um, I think there were some random guests, and that was he was on with three people: it was him, Trevor Noah, and Judd Apatow.

Oh, wow.

She had Candace Bushnell on.

She had Eliza Schilling.

Megan Marshall.

Had Candice Bushnell?

Yeah.

She had Eliza Schlissinger with Paris Hilton.

Oh, my God.

I missed, like, all of this.

She had Jenny Slate, Constance Wu.

Interesting.

So

it's, they're not all Serena Williams.

No, that's a good point.

Thank you.

I only know about her podcast, like from what was pulled in the Daily Mail and page six.

And I never went to go listen.

So I didn't know that there was like such a big slate of celebs, like a panel of three guests.

Yeah, it's like two to three guests per episode.

Interesting.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

But, and so, um, really cool that he was on it, but he's exactly like who should be on it.

He's an interesting top of his game guy.

Oh, um, this actually makes me really excited for Andy's book.

Once I get through this, like, dense ass book I'm currently reading, it is next on my list.

Great.

Um, usually Zach is there.

He's not a part of it.

And it's like annoying.

He finds it very annoying, but I'll be like, Strassen, Krassen, Lassen, Massen.

And it's because I haven't LARPed.

Mr.

Sen, Massen, Krassen, Dassen, Lassen, Dassen.

Strassen would never tell a Lysand.

He would never tell a lie sand and that's the damn truth.

And if he did I would cross sand.

Oh my god.

I would throw myself into the skasand.

Isn't it fun?

Makes me want to eat a French fry sand.

Some people count sheep, other people LARP.

I think just you, but it's good.

I think I just turned you onto something.

100%.

Ben will never forgive you.

Wait, do you want to hear the craziest thing I meant to tell you sure

i went through tsa on my way to dallas and they like were so suspicious of my microphone they were wiping it down and like putting it in these machines like we need to test we need to test for explosives i'm like you're kidding me right literally it was i got like pulled over thank god i was early it's because this show is the bomb

I was like, ma'am, the only thing I'm guilty of is making sick podcast content on that thing.

So like, stop.

She did not think I was funny.

And I could tell.

And I was like, it was, she was like, what is this?

I'm like, my travel mic is really weird looking.

So I'm like, it's a podcast microphone.

I have a podcast.

And then I was going to be like, maybe you've heard of it.

It's called The Toast.

But she was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, ma'am.

She didn't want to LARP like at all.

She was serious about her job, which I respect.

You know, security is important.

But like, come on.

I respect them taking it seriously, but they could have just like googled the brand name on your microphone and went on with their day.

No, it's just like, it's a microphone.

I always feel bad when I see moms in

security who are traveling with their breast milk

because they're always fucking with people's breast milk.

Like they're like testing it and shit.

And it's like, stop fucking touching that.

No, like get your dirty fucking mitts out of there.

No, literally.

Like I've seen it a few times and the moms get so upset.

It's like, don't fucking start with me.

Do you know, like, this is gold to me.

And they're like opening it up.

Like, don't get your dirty germs in there.

That's disgusting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, they're really doing a great job.

isn't it crazy to think about that tsa is like a post 9-11 agency like before 9-11 like did you just waltz onto planes i don't remember i guess so or just like walk through a metal detector we were alive but we were young Did you walk through like a metal detector?

Like what was life like pre-9-11?

I don't know.

And that's why when you watch like old rom-coms, people just like run through the airport.

Like that actually was possible back in the day.

I don't know.

It doesn't seem likely.

You still need a ticket.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are reflecting on Freaky Friday 20 years later and giving an update about a sequel.

So the two co-stars reunited for an interview with the New York Times in honor of the movie's 28-year anniversary.

That's nice.

It is nice.

They gave you some really sweet.

28?

20.

Oh, okay.

I was like, there's no way I'm the same age as that movie.

No, no, no, no.

It came out in 2003, directed by Mark Waters, and also starring Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Harold Gould, and more.

It saw mother and daughter Tessana switch bodies and literally walk in each other's shoes.

So, Lindsay recalls, as an 11-year-old, the parent traps felt so big to me.

I threw myself into everything: accents, green screens, playing two people.

So, I felt comfortable after that.

Freaky Friday felt different because I was going through all of the faces of a 16-year-old, but playing a character who was a year younger.

She said, This was the era of Avril Levine and punk, and I wanted to experience it.

We did white stripes in my hair.

I put the color as Tracy Cunningham through hell because I took my nice red hair and just bleached it.

Jamie Lee Curtis recalled signing onto the role days before she got to set after another actress dropped out.

Who?

Who?

We need to know.

I don't know.

I'm going to Google it.

Hold on.

She said, had I had all the time in the world to prepare, I don't think it would have been so good.

I just had to be in my body.

I was also newly sober, and I was able to have a community within the movie work world.

That was a big deal for me.

Annette Benning.

I have to Google who that is.

Yeah.

Oh, you know this bitch.

Like, I can't tell you what she's from, but like, she's a classic.

She's from American Beauty, Death on the Nile.

Yeah, she would have been good too.

I'm sorry.

No, nobody could have done it the way Jamie Lee did.

It was perfection.

And honestly, her having like that pixie cut was perfect.

But so does Annette.

Oh, good call.

Fabulous call.

No, it's just like how Rachel McAdams also could have done Devil Wear's Prada.

But she couldn't have.

No, but she literally could have, and it would have been really great.

I know that's like not the point of the article, but I am hyper-fixating on the fact that like we almost didn't get Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday.

Yeah, so they also shared some of their fun memories and I guess they've like stayed pretty close over the years and they're both down for a sequel.

They've been open about wanting to do a sequel and

nothing's happened yet, but they've been teasing that it's going to happen.

You know, knowing what we know about Jamie Lee Curtis from her recent stint on the Real House Size of Beverly Hills, it doesn't shock me that she's like stayed in contact and probably like looked after Lindsay Lohan a little bit over the years because she really seems like such a nice lady.

Yeah, I totally agree.

It's not surprising.

Like just a queen who like looks out for her fellow woman, especially like a young woman in the industry.

She was a young woman in the industry.

You know, she started out very young.

And I, I, I really like, I, I love Jamie Lee Curtis.

Like I never thought I'd say that, especially because she has a pixie cut, which is a haircut I'm like totally against.

Yeah.

I know that's really big of you.

I'm growing up, Jackie, right in front of your eyes.

Love is blind.

Next thing you know, I'm going to have a pixie cut.

You know, I was listening to New Kelly Clarkson, so fucking good.

And like, she says in her song how love is blind, and she says it like in a negative way.

Meaning?

Like love is blind.

And she loved him so much, like, she couldn't see him for who he really was.

And it just got me thinking about this this show because they came up with like a whole like concept for a show based on this idea like love is blind but maybe at the end of the day like love is blind is like love being blind is not a good thing like you

blinds you there's different interpretations of it and yes like

they're talking about like physical appearance being blind to physical appearance but what kelly's talking about is actually i think more a more profound deep interpretation of the phrase like how you can

be blinded to a person's faults and how they make you feel just because you just love them so much blinded by love.

Yeah, so like inadvertently, Kelly just like took down that show.

Like

they thought they were doing something over there, proving that love is blind as if that's some good thing.

But they're just being clowns, gender-fluid clowns.

Her power.

Her power.

Knows no bounds.

Like the way she's just kind of taken down an entire franchise and she didn't even try.

That wasn't even what she set out to do.

Just like one of the many collaterals.

And all she said was, Love is blind.

She just sang the title of the show, and it just made me see it differently.

Oh, she didn't like explain herself.

She's like trashing him, and in the middle of trashing him, love is blind.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

Jackie's version.

So unkind, so good.

That is very interesting.

I just want to say, like, on the record, while I loved Freaky Friday with all of my heart, and I was definitely very influenced by it as a young girl, I truly don't need a sequel.

Like I'm good.

Unless Lindsay Lohman is going to put that shit back in her hair and go to the house of blues and sing Yo, Rit, you're the only one but that would just make me sad.

Then I don't want it.

Yeah.

No, unless it's going to be like just a great movie that happens to be a sequel.

Like if it's about like Lindsay Lohan's daughter and they make the movie again and it's just like so with the times

good product.

Like if it is what for these kids, what it was for us.

So it's Lindsay Lohan's daughter.

Obviously, Jamie Lee Curtis is a grandma, but then who swaps bodies?

Lindsay and her daughter.

And Jamie Lee tries to like usher them through.

She is also like a counselor, right?

I guess her job.

Yeah.

No, she was an author.

Yeah, like a, like an author, but she, she had just written a book, but yeah, I think she was like a psychotherapist.

Senescence.

Right.

So she should be able to shepherd those two through it.

That's actually a good call.

And I want to say, like, actually a fun fact, they say you don't learn anything from movies.

I only know what the word senile and senescence means because of that movie.

Because when she's reading it, she goes, senescence, like senile.

Oh, oh, oh.

And then she's on the talk show, like, talking about being old.

I only know the definition of that word.

I'm sure I would have learned it eventually, but I was eight when the movie came out.

And that's how I knew what it was.

You were eight.

Yeah, because you said it's 28 years old.

Yeah.

No, you said it's 20 and I'm 28.

It's like young to be watching like a movie.

Bitch, I think about that all the time.

Don't you think?

I think about that all the time that I, and maybe I didn't see it like the day it came out, but I definitely saw it like the year it came out because we had it on half.

I think about that all the time.

Cause like, how much older is Olivia than me?

Like four years?

Three years.

Okay, I guess that's like not that old, but like we're

but we've always been girls who like were at the center of pop culture and like had our finger on the pulse of what was going on.

And that meant watching Degrassi when we were far too young for it.

Degrassi tackled some really tough topics.

But we knew that we were too young for degrassi.

I feel like so much of the stuff that we watched that was age-appropriate.

Like, yeah, we watched Lindsey Lohan Freaky Friday, and it's not like there's anything inappropriate about it.

It's just like, we're eight.

Yeah.

Like, aren't you watching Barney when you're eight?

You're like in like first grade?

Are you first grade when you're eight?

No, I think you're like third, fourth grade.

Oh.

I don't fucking know.

See, like, I cannot conceptualize like kids and ages.

Yeah, just like L.

King's son is four.

When, oh, by the way, he's one and a half.

He's so cute.

Yeah.

And you and a half.

You'd think, like, now in the last few years, like, watching Kay grow up and like having frames of reference, okay, before I like knew any kids personally, not being able to identify how old a particular toddler is, I guess is kind of normal.

But I should know now.

I'm like a very involved auntie.

But all kids are different.

Yeah.

Some are tall, some are short.

Is Harry tall?

He's average.

No, he's not.

Don't you dare.

He is so above average.

That's so sweet.

I'll tell him you said that.

You beta.

I miss him so much.

Come back.

I am planning on it.

Great.

I'm not moving to Frisco.

Don't worry.

Even though it's a lovely town.

I've heard great things.

Have you been to Frisco?

No.

I'm sure your husband has.

Yeah, yeah.

You're like outside of Dallas.

Yeah, it was like really quick from the airport, honestly.

Are you ready for our next story?

What number is it?

Four.

Yeah.

So it's like not the last one, but also not the middle one.

So when you say four,

can you just dive into that a little bit more?

Because I'm just feeling like unclear.

Yeah, no, so it would be like the one after the third.

Not

quite the fit, though.

Right, so would you, it's before five, yeah?

Yes, it's before

five.

Oh, that's a good way to like remember it.

That's a good way to remember it.

Okay.

Our next story: Imagine Dragons performs at the Netflix picket line in support of the Writer's Strike.

Okay, I saw a meme.

I knew it was fake, but it was the funniest thing.

They're like, really smart idea for Netflix to send Imagined Dragons to the Writer's Strike so they all leave and go back to work.

Yeah, I saw a tweet that was like, that's not fair of you guys to subject the writers to Imagined Dragons.

And it's like, wait, when did we all decide that we don't like Imagined Dragons?

I love Imagine Dragons.

I didn't.

It was like a funny joke, but I'm not going to subscribe.

Like Imagine Dragons is extremely talented.

That guy is very hot.

He's allegedly dating Minka Kelly and they have bangers.

Like I'm not, I'm not, I'm joking around.

Like I'm not being serious.

Yeah, no, like I just don't even know where that joke would come from.

Like people are acting like it's like Nickelback.

Yeah.

And by the way, like we could, I could have this conversation about Nickelback.

Like, and so I just don't want, I feel like when Nickelback was kind of dragged through the mud and slandered and like defamed, I was too young to stand up for them.

And I didn't have a platform.

I didn't have a voice.

And I didn't know how to use it.

And now that I'm of age, like, I'm not going to let this happen again to a perfectly lovely band.

Did you see that Louis Capaldi brought out the lead singer of

Nickelback on his, he's on like a big stadium tour and sang like an acoustic version of Rockstar and like everyone was screaming the song at the top of their lungs?

No, I didn't know that and I'm not surprised.

I fucking love Louis Capaldi so much.

Like you know that.

I literally, he's like every year one of my top artists.

I just like, I absolutely love his music.

And it doesn't surprise me that he's doing king shit.

No, do I look surprised?

No, he should have been at the coronation though.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm.

But he is currently on like a world tour.

So that's like a good reason to not be.

Yeah.

Well, the Grammy winning band took to the Netflix picket line on Tuesday to show its support for the writer striking in LA and New York.

Piano player Dan Reynolds and electric guitarist Daniel Wayne Sermon performed Radio Active and Whatever It Takes.

The musicians join a number of celebrities who have hit striking locations across both major cities to show their support, like Pete Davidson, who handed out pizzas in Brooklyn, Ted Lasso, writers and stars Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, and Brendan Hunt, Cynthia Nixon, Bowen Yang, and Jay Leno.

Love Brett Goldstein.

I know.

Jay Leno brought doughnuts to the strikers.

I also love Jay Leno.

You do?

Yeah, I just like think he's cute.

Is that weird?

That's really off-brand.

Is it?

Because I like hate.

You hate everyone in Late Night.

Yeah, but he hasn't been in Late Knight in like 10 years.

But he's kind of like the king of Late Night and sort of like the inventor of all these people that you hate.

To me, he was like part of the last great era of like Late Night for a while was like peak comedy, Johnny Carson.

What about Letterman?

He just slipped through the cracks as like a talentless hack.

I fucking hate, fucking hate hate Letterman.

Like, he's, he doesn't know it.

He's my nemesis.

What about Johnny Carson?

Hate.

I mean, what he did to Joan.

Yeah.

Unforgivable.

I don't care how funny or talented people claim he was.

I don't support.

He's problematic.

Cancel.

So you hate everyone in late night.

So you hate everyone in late night.

Yeah, I guess.

I guess I do.

I guess I do.

I don't know.

There's some, maybe honestly, it's because he's like chubby and cute.

Like, I find him endearing and very non-threatening.

100%.

It's the chubbiness, but what about James Corden?

I do like him too.

Yeah.

Again.

No, I just like thinking about people who have like actually made me laugh.

And I feel like I've laughed at Jay Leno and I've laughed at James Corden and that's pretty much it.

I've never laughed at Jay Leno, but I don't think I've ever been like served Jay Leno on a platter.

I think there's something there.

I do.

I do.

Maybe this is just like, no, I think.

Is he like on Comedians and Cars and have a good episode or something?

Oh, by the way, that might be it.

Yeah.

That would be a good reason.

What the fuck happened to comedians and cars getting coffee?

The Jerry Seinfeld Netflix show that hasn't had a season since 2019.

They ran out of comedians and they ran out of cars.

They definitely ran out of comedians because they were double dipping with people who like weren't that interesting.

And I'm glad it looked like they were like starting to show us cars.

I was like, oh, okay.

Yeah.

Cool.

Cool Subaru.

Like cool Volkswagen.

Right.

And they definitely ran out of comedians, honestly.

Yeah, there are people who have been on it like more than once, which is just weird.

Yeah, actually, I feel like he could do another season and have people who have already been on because you know they're legends, whatever.

But also, there are a lot of like constantly new up-and-coming comedians.

Like, I'd rather see Tim Dylan up there shaking that thing, right?

Like, Andrew Schultz.

There actually is like a new generation of like podcasts, Instagram, Patreon who like sell out huge arenas.

Yeah,

yeah,

was Joe Rogan ever on it?

No,

really, yeah, comedians in cars getting coffee.

Joe Rogan.

No, it's like Reddit.

No, the thing is, he should be on.

But he, like, Jerry, like, never really ever chose guests who weren't like traditional comedy, like comedy club, SNL Writer's Room, like that trajectory, which is like the very old school way of becoming a comic, like open mic, you know, in the same three clubs.

He never dipped his toe into like having and highlighting comedians who came up through the digital age, except Miranda Sings was was like the one time he went digital and I think he said it was because like his daughter loves her and she did the whole thing in like her Miranda character and like

it wasn't great

yeah I'm looking at the most recent seasons because I do feel like he had some people who were not so traditional but no even like um it was very much like Ellen Steve Harvey like that

he had Bridget Everett I fucking love you should watch her HBO show

what's it called I have heard it's very good like someone somewhere.

I think I never heard of it.

It's like her and her friend, they live in this like current small town.

And it's like, she's like a serious actress in it, but it's still very funny.

And I don't know much about it, but I know you like her.

And I've actually heard it's quite good.

Okay, cool.

And I hear it's like on the verge of getting canceled.

So if like you want to start, I think that'll pretty much put the nail in the coffin.

You know?

That's really funny.

That's really like, I thought you were going to say, so if you guys want to start and like support, you know, we could use our platform.

But no, you're right.

Like if I turn it on, the next day it's gone.

Yup.

Damn, sad.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton story.

So a new show on Netflix that's centered on Queen Charlotte's rise to prominence and power.

This Bridgerton verse prequel tells a story of how the young queen's marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.

So I love this show.

It's now streaming on Netflix and it's basically just a prequel to Bridgerton, but it tells you all about Queen Charlotte, who we know and love from the show.

And what's so great is that it's a story about how young Charlotte

came to be who she is, but it also has young Agatha Danbury, young Violet Bridgerton.

And we're going to learn how these ladies came to be the beloved and revered characters that they are in Bridgerton.

You'll learn how they found their place in power, all while navigating their personal passions and politics.

Of course, it's written by Shonda Rhimes.

She's also the executive producer, so you know it's good.

And what's great, one of the things we all love about Bridgerton, it's very steamy, and I can confirm the chemistry between young Queen Charlotte and her young King George is very steamy.

It's giving smut.

The series has all the elements of Bridgerton that you know and love, like sex, romance, scandal, and of course, the ton.

So it's the love story to inspire all love stories, the kind of love that the entire ton aspires to for themselves.

It's the myth that has set.

everything.

So it is now streaming on Netflix.

It is only available on Netflix and you can watch it now.

You guys are going to love it.

I love it.

If you love Bridgerton, if you love sexy, steamy romance, if you love something, you know, with beautiful women and beautiful gowns and beautiful makeup and beautiful wigs, this show is for you.

The actress who plays young Queen Charlotte is so pretty and she's so talented.

I've been loving it, and I think you guys are going to love it too.

So enjoy Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton story.

Watch now only on Netflix.

Thanks, Turdy Luya.

I am a happy snacker.

Yeah, you are.

Our fifth and final story is a little update in the streaming wars because Hulu and Disney Plus content will be combined into one app,

which makes sense as they're both owned by Disney.

Disney will be combining Hulu content with Disney Plus content into one app in the U.S.

CEO Bob Iger announced on Wednesday.

The company will begin to roll out the new app by the end of the calendar year.

For now, this option will only be available to consumers who have subscribed to both services.

So they'll continue to offer Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus as standalone options.

This is a logistical progression of their DTC offerings that that will provide greater opportunities for advertisers, blah, blah, blah.

Said Bob Iger.

I want to know what it's going to be called.

Oh, okay.

We could come up with names.

I just want to say, I'm actually surprised that it took them this long.

I've always found it very confusing.

Like, knowing that Disney owns a million things, like Hulu, like ESPN, like, why they all just don't have like one, kind of like Peacock, like how everything on Bravo, NBC,

why they don't just have like one kind of outcome.

This is a little bigger than NBC.

Much bigger.

Because it's like ABC, it would be like Peacock plus Netflix.

Like,

so I understand everyone had to come together.

Also, like, Disney owns a stake of Hulu, but not all of Hulu.

Comcast also owns some of Hulu.

It's very confusing.

But

I.

Oh, I totally thought it was just like a Disney company.

No.

No.

Interesting.

Yeah.

There's some shares.

that are being sold.

So I wonder why Comcast is okay with like Disney taking Hulu, you know?

Yeah, but like it is kind of confusing.

Like I feel like it can't just be called Disney Plus with like Hulu there because Hulu is its own brand, you know?

Oh, yeah, and they have like original content.

Right.

And people are attached to Hulu.

Yeah.

So I feel like they need a new name, but they're not going to have like another parent company when they have all of these really strong brands.

Yeah, well, what is the parent company technically?

Disney?

Disney.

Yeah, I guess like ESPN going in Disney would kind of make sense.

I think like a lot of people know that Disney owns ESPN, but Hulu going under the umbrella of Disney wouldn't be easy for people to digest because we're like freaks who know everything about like the streaming landscape, the streaming wars, but most people don't.

Yeah, I feel like what if they have it be an app and it's called like Walt.

Walt Max.

I don't hate it.

I don't love it.

Walt Max.

Yeah, like maybe that's not it.

Or what if it's like Walt Plus?

Again, it's like not really rolling off the tongue for me.

Okay.

If you guys have a good call as to what this app should be called, like feel free to drop a comment.

I imagine they're struggling because

you can't get a more

known brand name than Disney.

So like to take the Disney out of Disney, like what are you going to replace it with that's even going to come close?

Not only that, but these are like three really recognizable standalone brands, ESPN, Hulu.

Like that's what you know, brands can only dream of.

Like, oh, like, Hulu has become almost a verb, you know?

So to give that up is kind of weird.

And I don't know what a better name would be.

Rebranding is the, for like these big ass companies.

Not even that this is a rebrand, but it really is so difficult.

Yeah, unless they just called it like plus.

You know, kind of like how HBO Max is max million.

Oh, that's true.

They should just call it Iger Plus.

Yeah, but he's so transient there.

Like last year, he was out.

This week he's in.

Speaking of.

They should call it Miska Muska Plus.

What about

hot dog, hot diggity dog plus?

Or just like diggity dog.

Love that.

Speaking of.

What about...

No, I literally have it.

O toodles plus.

Love.

Oh,

toodles.

Speaking of CEOs, I attempted to watch, I am two episodes behind of succession, so I attempted to watch it on the flight.

It made the flight feel like 15 hours.

I didn't even get through one whole episode.

They go to LA to like check on their movie studio or whatever.

It's so

abysmal.

Like it's horrible.

Abysmal.

Unwatchable, actually.

I can't believe there are people who sit around and watch the episodes and say, like, this is the best show on television in the last 10 years.

People say that.

And then they finish the episode and they're like, give them all the Emmys.

No, like, don't.

No, don't

no like give the give the emmy to molly shannon for her work in the other two give the work give the emmy to ken todd can you believe raquel spent the night at home sandemal

yeah

there are just more work thousands of others right

sorry i didn't mean to get you off track to i was just like to complain about six yeah you didn't mean to like get off track from our brainstorm because that's what we were doing and i just know that bob Bob is listening, Bob's daughter is listening, like, hoping that we actually come up with the name.

Yeah, I did like kind of derail the brainstorm because I genuinely cannot think of one decent idea.

Like, this is so hard.

It's really hard.

Unless they just like come up with a new word, which is what a lot of times people try and do, but I don't think that really ever works.

What if it was like Doolu?

Okay, it's honestly not bad.

His knee.

No, like Dulu plus.

Disney, Hulu, and ESPN Plus.

His knee plus.

Hisney, her knee.

My name.

Their knee.

Yeah, me.

Their knee.

Their knee and friends.

No, it's not cutting it, Jackson, sorry.

It's not good.

Okay, well, there's no such thing as a bad idea as long as we're all contributing and putting ourselves out there.

Right, and I'm really not contributing.

I told you I cannot think of one thing to name this

app.

You could always go Brass and strass plus

oh

wait

i like it strong

i don't know because um i like i like it so a couple of free bad ideas take them or leave them that's just kind of like what we do here you know yeah that's a lot of what we do

um so i'm headed to the acm smarter is anybody you like want me to see on the carpet and like chat to should i bring up

are you british

Could I believe you for a chat?

Do you want me to bring up to Luke Holmes like his pronoun like saga that he works in the market as a checkout girl?

Because I'll do it.

If the vibe is right.

Yeah.

Like, is that something you want me to wait for you?

Like the next year when we...

No, I don't know when I'm going to see Luke again.

And by then I'll have like, you know, new things to obsess over.

But I just wonder, is it like every time you sing it, it's like rats that bothers me?

Or do you even know?

No, so I actually think when you're like an artist who covers famous songs, a new thing people do is like they change the pronouns to make it accurate for them.

Like if it's a song from a girl's perspective, they just change it to like the boy pronouns.

And part of me actually really respects that he just left the perfect song.

Like it's a perfect song for a reason.

Like people have loved this song for like 30 years.

So part of me actually really respects that he didn't like change it for his own image, you know?

Yeah, he's just like the manliest man.

No, it's crazy that he has like fox in the hen house and then he calls himself a girl like it's weird i get it

and i was wrong i thought that he actually did change the lyric so you work in the market as a checkout like talking to the girl but i was wrong which i always am which should be a shock to nobody so yeah if the vibes are good and you feel like he would be open to talking about it then yeah ask him for sure Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping me and Margo get a few minutes with him.

He's so busy.

He's one of like the most nominated people to be here tomorrow night.

Did you also see Morgan Wallen posted on his story today, like just like

something being like, people really talking out the side of their necks?

I kind of felt like he was talking about us, but our conclusion

believed him.

And I'm sorry, for him to assume like nobody's going to question this, like, sorry, given his track record, like we just wanted to do our due diligence.

Yeah.

So maybe,

why don't you, like, maybe you could ask him who's talking out of the side of their necks?

You know what?

He'll be like, you, bitch.

It's literally you.

Shut the fuck up.

Stop talking about me on your podcast.

That's literally what he's going to say.

Just be like, but we believed you.

We just need to get, we need to talk it through.

We're talkers.

That's why we have a podcast, Morgan.

Yeah.

Who else is going to be there?

Well, Dolly Carton.

Well, I actually am.

Dolly Parton.

I'm hoping to get up close to Dolly because have you seen this conspiracy theory about her hands?

No.

Okay, and I thought it was crazy, but like now when I see pictures, I'm like, oh, she wears prosthetic hands.

She wears like gloves that are like prosthetic hands.

Like they're made out of like skin-like technology.

So she like move her fingers, but like it's not her skin.

I believe it.

I believe it.

I thought it was interesting.

I think that's smart.

And Garth Brooks, her, Dolly and Garth are hosting.

Dolly and Garth are hosting.

Hmm.

So my question for Dolly would be, did you get a chance to listen to the Redheads episode about Run Rose Run?

And what did you think about the girl's assessment?

Yeah, I definitely think if I bring up Run Rose Run, like nobody else on the carpet is bringing up the random book she co-authored with James Patterson.

Right.

I feel like that's a good way to

break the ice.

And to be different, not like other interviewers.

Yeah, and I think they are making it into like a movie or something.

So maybe just like throw away around some casting ideas.

Are you going to do an original song?

Already did.

She wrote a whole album for the book, but yeah.

Cool, cool, cool, cool.

I'm so glad I didn't ask.

And then for Garth Brooks,

I would say,

have you heard of Garth Brooks?

No, what I would say is, how does it feel to have your song?

Like, you have so many accomplishments, but I would argue your biggest one is your song being covered in Country Strong.

What did that movie mean to you?

Yeah, that's a good one.

I think that's like a pretty good place to start.

So I think you all have what you need.

Yeah, no, my research here is done.

I'm excited to watch you on the Amazon Fashion Snapchat.

Yes, Jax, thanks so much for recording with me tonight.

I know you're like a busy mom and I'm just like an animal who doesn't plan things and I really appreciate you.

No, you plan this totally fine.

It's literally fine.

I just happen to be more tired than usual and it's fine.

Oh, so it's fine?

It's totally fine.

We're good.
