Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and

hi

pee

Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

Everybody is looking forward to the weekend, weekend, Friday, Friday, getting down on Friday.

Fun, fun, fun, fun, looking forward to the weekend.

That girl knew what she was fucking talking about, okay?

Fun, fun, fun, fun.

Period.

Looking forward to the weekend.

Truer words have never been spoken.

They have not.

I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Are you?

I am looking forward to the weekend.

Have you any big plans?

Not big plans, like some little things tomorrow, but really just relaxing,

playing,

you know.

Playing.

Really just like playing in the play pen all weekend.

And finishing my book for the Redheads, which is kind of turning out to be the best Redheads book of all time.

No.

And you know I don't say that lightly.

Whose choice?

Rebecca's choice.

Wow.

I know.

She must be feeling really proud.

I don't know if she started it.

I wonder what snitched things, but but I actually was FaceTiming with Dana this morning and we were talking about the book and like we're obsessed.

It's so easy to get into, and then you really can't put it down.

Like, my mind is there.

Wow, I love that.

I think even maybe you might like it.

Except I have no idea how it's gonna end.

Like, where are we going with this?

We're reading The Measure by Nikki Ehrlich.

Like, it's the time, you guys.

Is that a Jewish queen author, Ehrlich?

Ehrlich?

It might be.

Or any relation to the Christian, Max Ehrlich, formerly related to Demi Lovato.

Formerly engaged to Demi Lovato.

Literally, what a time that was.

Do you think Max Ehrlich is writing under a pseudonym?

Because he's so ashamed of his behavior when he was engaged to Demi.

I think he should.

Damn, throwback.

I didn't expect to be thrown back today.

Well, I actually have a lot of time to read this weekend because I have two really long flights.

And I know like nobody cares, but I'm just updating everyone on my Vegas flight journey.

I found a better flight, Jet Blue, thank God.

So I won't be able to watch my special, which I actually like, it almost did stop me from booking the flight, but not enough for a better seat, you know?

I understand.

Turdy's got to look out for turd.

Turd's looking out for number one, and that's turd.

And I got my Adele tickets, and they're good.

Like, I'm excited.

What are you going to wear?

You better look nice.

You always look nice, though.

Are you been loving a mini skirt lately?

I have.

Oh, my God.

And I did.

I bought a mini skirt and like, I wasn't sure if it was going to work, so I wasn't going to get anything so crazy.

I got it from Zara.

I think it was like $30.

And lo and behold, what do I see?

Ariel Charnis wore the same skirt.

And you know, she doesn't wear Zara lightly.

No.

And I was feeling, I was feeling quite elevated, rich, classy.

So are you going to wear that skirt to the concert tonight?

No, so I actually have a bunch of clothes arriving today from Stoud.

Sickening.

Looking at fashion girly.

I thought maybe it was time to like really, you know, show up in Vegas, like sparkles.

Also, I think it's like cold, so I got to figure that out.

There's no way to get you in Vegas.

Weather doesn't exist.

Especially because you like never leave the hotel.

But there is like historic weather happening.

This always fucking happens.

No, I know there actually is weather in Vegas right now, but like you really never leave the hotel and then the hotels are so close and the cabs come like right under the

it's true the hotel the hotel where there's still AC or heat and then you go to another hotel with the same situation like you're literally never in the weather So True Vegas is kind of like a well-oiled machine like they get you in and out They are a well-oiled machine which is maybe why I like like it so much because it's efficient.

They know what they're doing.

They know what they stand for.

It's also glamorous, you know.

People in Vegas, like they dress up.

I feel like every time you're out in New York, it's like, who's wearing dirtier sweatpants?

And in Vegas, it's glamour.

It's blazers on the men.

It sparkles on the women.

People from all different walks of life showing up and showing out.

Yeah, but you could also find those who are dressed down.

Right, which, you know, those are my people too.

Let me look at me today.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you're just preparing because you have like a black tie weekend coming up.

Yeah.

I'm really excited.

Like I have heard that the Adele show is like a, it's a moving experience.

Yeah, no, um, I've heard that too.

I would have loved to go.

By the way, if it's sickening, we will play it.

I know you need like more than, you know, 48 hours notice.

Like you have a child.

I never said that.

Like I literally even said yesterday, like, I want to come.

And still the conversation was switched to how I'm a victim or something.

By the way, you are.

And

literally, like, I can't deal with people who need to be handled.

Do you want to come?

Book a flight.

I'll find you a ticket.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, okay, I can't, I'm not just gonna, like, book, like, invite myself and book a flight.

Why?

I already have a hotel room.

Like, just come.

Oh, my God.

Like, that's crazy.

I'm really not.

Like, I can't deal.

If you, like, we're family, I'm going with Brian and John.

They're family too.

Like, you want to come?

Come.

Now you're yelling at me.

No, because, like, Brian and John were already going.

And I was like, oh, I'm coming.

And I just did it.

You know what I mean?

Like, just insert yourself, sis.

Like, have some balls.

No, but like,

don't be shy.

When are you so shy?

I'm not shy, Wenchy McGee.

You're being shy.

No, I'm not.

I'm just like, I would have liked to like plan that you, like, be a part of the process.

That's just like a hanger on.

That's what I'm saying.

So if it's amazing, we will plan the process.

We will like, you know, make spa appointments.

Like, we will do a whole weekend, not 24 hours in and out.

I literally land, I have a hair appointment, and then I'm going to, like, it's in and out.

Yeah.

You're not like that.

No, in and out, it kind of works for me.

Okay.

Okay.

So, whatever you'll scout it out let us know if it's worth our time money energy etc i feel i mean it's turning out to be like a fucking expensive weekend but you know what i said i was saying yes to life this year and i said this to brian yesterday when i was like contemplating you know like the price i was like you know what money comes and goes adele is forever

some things are priceless though you won't know till it's over so you're making an investment What's worse than like spending a lot of money on something you think is going to be priceless and like it's not?

That happens to me a lot.

No, I never spend money on something like thinking it's going to be priceless, but I'll spend the money.

I'll be like, I think it'll be worth this.

And then unexpectedly, it was priceless.

Oh, no.

I like, I live in rose-colored glasses.

So I'm like, everything is going to be priceless.

Like, I'm going to be remembering this when I'm 80.

And then like, I can't even remember it the next day.

Well, that's just turdy.

But that's just my saying yes to life mentality.

Yeah, maybe that's what you need to tell yourself in order to say yes to life.

Because if it's not going to be priceless, why would you put a price on it?

Maybe I should give like a Q1 update to everyone on how it's going saying yes to life.

Like, I have been saying yes, like, I've been going out on weeknights, like, that's so not me.

Um, and let me give everyone an update.

It's going really well, I will say, like, I'm happy I'm saying yes to life.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't so tired.

Like,

people who are always doing stuff, and I was saying this last night to Taylor Strucker: um, my God, my social battery, I also was saying it to Ben last night, like my social battery and my willingness to be out of my house is getting so, like, with every day that passes is decreasing.

And I don't know what to do about it.

Maybe

you're having a reaction to saying yes to life, even though I love this era for you, but maybe like you need to conserve your battery and charge up more and you're not getting a full charge in between battery sessions.

But like, I'm having a lot of fun at the things I'm saying yes to.

You know what I mean?

And I don't think you're saying yes to nonsense.

Me neither.

I think it's just like a busy time of year.

Bless you.

She sneezed on it.

It's true.

It's a busy time of year.

Yeah, why don't you book like a massage Sunday morning in Vegas?

I tried.

They were like so packed.

I was like lucky to get my hair appointment at the spa, you know?

Oh, that's so annoying.

I remember when we went to Vegas for your birthday, Snitch and I booked massages like for after checkout.

So we like brought our luggages to the spa and then we had the spa day pass.

Or no, we didn't even get massages.

We got a spa day pass and we hung out.

We hung out there till the flight.

We were jello by the time the flight came around we were so relaxed you should do that i should do that even though my flight's in the morning like i don't that's so turdy

that's so turdy it's the future she can't see um

you just reminded me of something luggage plural is luggage or luggage is is it like goose geese what is it Fish?

The luggage.

No, luggage could be one or many.

Right.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Learn something new here every day.

Because it's like an umbrella term, whereas the suitcase says.

But luggage is kind of an idea.

All of our luggage is over there.

Yeah, because it's the idea

of what's inside.

You know what I mean?

No, because I think like a singular luggage is like one suitcase, but multiple suitcases is luggage.

No, but we tied our little white suitcase.

We took our luggage.

Right.

That's what I just said.

No, no, you said you think of luggage as one suitcase.

I don't know.

It could be both.

Yes,

I'm saying the same thing.

Oh, I love agreeing with you.

It's so harmonious, which it's not acrimonious.

No.

Oh, my God.

Ever since you introduced acrimony into my life, I've been saying it all the time.

Like, I was saying something to Zach about like harmony, and he was like, well, what do you mean?

Like about whatever I was saying.

And I was like, well, it was an acrimony.

I'm telling you, it's kind of like a helpful word.

I know he still didn't know what I was saying.

It's just kind of shut him up.

Yeah, no, it's like, I got a big word.

Shut up.

I know, I have two.

And now it's over.

Yeah, acrimony is a good word.

I'm so glad we're like using it in everyday life.

Remember when we used to do word of the day?

Yeah.

Cure the toast?

Did I feel like we kind of do inadvertently like word of the week?

We always are hung up on a word.

Oh, if that ate our brand to a T, what word are we hung up on this week, turd?

Turd.

No, acrimony, I would say, like, would be like our SAT word of the week.

You know, for a couple months, it was nefarious.

For a couple years, it was nefarious.

There's one word that I feel like I'm always saying right now.

Oh, lay person.

Lay person.

Person of the lay variety.

I'm always saying, um.

No, I don't even know what I was going to say.

And of course, there's wench, which is something that we've reintroduced into the vocabulary.

That is kind of like a word of life, not a word of the week, you know?

No, I know.

I think it's here to stay, but it is new to our vernacular.

Oh, speaking of nothing you just said, but I just remembered I wanted to talk about it.

Last night we hosted like an influencer event for Spritz because

for those who don't know, there's like a chain of restaurants in New York called Ruby's and it's like everyone's obsessed with it.

And now Spritz is being sold in all the Ruby's locations.

So we had like an influencer dinner to celebrate.

And I got home and I just had this thought that I wanted to share.

Because I feel like, and it's especially pertinent because we recorded a Patreon episode like a week ago about influencer, influencer culture, and how like people are always ragging on influencers.

And I feel like people are always really, especially ragging on New York City influencers.

Like there's all these TikToks being made about it.

People are always like saying really kind of like mean things about the New York City influencers.

And when I got home last night, I was just like thinking about how, how wrong everyone is about influencers and about the New York City influencers because so many of them showed up last night for the brand.

And, you know, these are girls who get paid to do this.

And, you know, we're a very small company.

And they all just showed up tagging, having so much fun.

They were like chugging spritz.

Like they were being so cute.

They all went out afterwards, like with girls that they knew, girls that they didn't know.

And it was like almost like a sorority vibe.

And I was like thinking, I'm like, oh my God, how wrong people are.

I'm sure, you know, like every job on the planet, there's like mean influencers, just like there's mean teachers or mean firefighters.

Like, but I feel like that's always the narrative.

And what I saw last night, I was just like looking around.

I'm like, these girls are so nice.

And like they showed up.

Some of us, some of them I don't know, some of them I know.

Some of them I know through Snitch, but they just like showed up and were so happy to support the brand.

We're being so cute and like taking a million pictures.

And they were just like such nice girls.

And I was like, oh my God, everyone is so wrong about like the stigma, especially about New York City influencers.

Like they're clicky.

Like really, because I was doing the seating and Margot was telling me like who knows who and who doesn't know who.

And I was worried.

I was like, I wanted everyone to sit next to someone they know.

They all were just like having a ball.

And I just wanted to shout out to all of them.

You know, they were so nice.

That is so nice.

I definitely feel like there's, you know, some misconception, maybe a couple bad experiences, but also a lot of jealousy.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

Of course.

You know, like I'm jealous of them.

Like they're just young and like perfect and like nice like i would be jealous too yeah

so

you've got to understand that i just think it's important like okay whenever anyone has a bad experience with an influencer like they take to tick tock well i had a fabulous experience and i'm taking to my podcast you should make a tick tock you should say this on tick tock because of course like our podcast listeners love to hear everything you have to say but i feel like this like could go viral on tick tock in the same way those negative ones do Like they were all leaving, putting their coats on.

I'm like, thank you guys so much.

Like, I hope it's not so late that like you guys can get like good sleep because it's still a weeknight.

Other like, oh, we're going to spring lounge.

Like, we're going to get drinks.

I'm like, yes.

Like, they were all just like being cute.

So cute with their salads.

And I was just, I got home and I was like, you know what?

People need to hear this.

I think you should say it on TikTok.

Like, I think that would be good content for you.

And you can start like a new trend where it's like, we don't just need to talk about like the negative experiences that we have with people, especially when there's a lot of context that is missing from those

videos.

And you should just say, like, these girls were great girls here's what they did they supported the brand i feel like another brand or like if they had wanted to you know put together a media kit for what they did for us last night some of those girls would have charged like thousands of dollars for stories and photos and like taking pictures with the cans and just like being supportive and they just showed up because they either like love the toast or they know Margo or they just were, you know, happy to be invited.

And it was so nice.

Supporting their fellow influencers.

Yeah, it was just really, it was lovely.

And I wanted to say that because

I feel like nobody talks about the positive.

You know what you could do since I know you're like not loving my idea of making a TikTok about this?

No, I am.

I could just see people stitching it and being like, this girl.

You know what I mean?

No, but you should just like do a reel from what you just said right now.

That way, that way it's in line with your other content native to your platform.

Yeah, I love that.

But still, you're saying something that the talkers want to hear because even if they don't agree with you and they're about to, you know, rip you to shreds, they love hearing about influencers.

They do, they do.

Not in a positive way, but yeah, I agree.

Yeah.

Yeah, but just sprinkle it in.

You know, it won't be until the video's over that they realize that they just had to consume some positive content.

Yeah.

So that was fabulous.

If you're in New York or you find yourself in New York, go to Ruby's.

The food was so fucking good.

People were like not okay.

It looked sickening.

Oh my God.

And everyone's always talking about Ruby's.

Like, it's so good.

And I had never been, and you know me, like, if everybody likes something, I have to hate it.

So I'm like, ugh, it's probably not that good.

When I tell you, I was not okay.

The food was so fucking good.

Like, I don't know.

I don't think people really usually like eat heavily at those dinners, but like the menu was so good.

Yeah, it's uh, we were talking last night, and I know what Ruby's is.

And for some reason, like, I thought they're like an Australian restaurant, right?

Um, but the menu wasn't an Australian restaurant, it is, but the menu isn't Australian, I think it's like just owned by an Australian, but they just have this like reputation as being like the Australian restaurant.

They are Australian, like, that's what they say that, yeah, but like

the menu was like there was penal vodka.

That's no, I know, I know, but I know

what does an Australian restaurant make you think of

Jamei no good guess what does an Australian outback steakhouse no good guess okay wait what does an Australian restaurant make me think of

oh that Mary Kaye Nashley movie no a me another amazing guess I have literally no idea what the fuck you're about to say Ashley Darby and Michael's restaurant oh yeah and Also a very good pop culture reference.

Yeah, and that was an Australian restaurant.

Right.

And that's why it wasn't successful.

No, it was a little too Australian for Americans.

It was a little too authentic.

Which is why I think Ruby's is such a success because you clearly have a blend.

Yeah, the food was so good.

Oh, my God.

So it was a fabulous night.

I'm just saying yes to life.

You know, tonight I am taking off.

I'm going to like

charge up before Vegas.

Even though

it's so funny how like social battery works because I was actually having this conversation with Ben last night.

Like there are certain people like you could be around socially, but you don't feel like you need battery.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

And that's like Brian and John.

Like, I feel like if I'm tired, like, I could just sit there and silently.

No, but you just need like actual battery to like walk the halls of Vegas, to stand up at the concert, to get on a flight.

That's a different sort of battery.

100%.

That's physical battery.

Which I'm always depleted of.

No matter, I could sleep a month and I would wake up with 5% battery physically.

Yeah.

I don't know what that is.

I think it's like a genetic predisposition.

Like, you know, my ancestors, things like that.

Coupled with.

Like, I don't think I've ever met a Jewish person who has like tons of energy.

No, I know some.

You do?

Yeah.

I feel like my friends have tons of energy.

Okay, let me rephrase.

I don't feel like I've ever met a Jewish person who wasn't down just to chill.

Oh, they're always down, but they're always also down.

Like, even when we were chilling, like, they were playing pickleball when we were all here.

So true.

Oh, my God.

Your friends are kind of toxic.

So that's my week, that's my Q1

saying yes to life update.

I'll be sure to check in in Q2.

Great.

Good day.

What was your resolution?

I had just gotten my license, so I wasn't putting that sort of pressure on myself.

And how many times since the new year do you think you've driven?

Um,

maybe 10.

Okay, that's more than I thought it would be.

I drove on Monday, and I'm driving again today.

Yes, because now I've realized I was starting when I got my, once I got my license, I was just like, well, now I'm hitting the road.

But then I really realized that I'm really uncomfortable driving by myself still.

And And I feel like, you know, a teenager, like, there's a reason why you have to drive with a companion for six months.

Like, it really is so helpful.

So now I will drive with someone else.

And that makes me feel better.

Like, I'm going somewhere today.

Zach has to accompany me as my companion, but I will be driving.

Okay.

But I'm not, I don't want to drive by myself.

It would be the furthest I've ever driven by myself.

You should do little drives by yourself, like to Olivia's house.

That's what I've been meaning to do, but then, you know, turdy life gets in the way.

Like, that's like my goal is to like just do like a little drive every day and, like, practice parking and this and that.

But, like, your girl is busy.

Listen, we run a successful business.

You're a mother.

You're a wife.

You're a sister.

You're a daughter.

You're a Teresa Jiu-Gee daughter.

And you know what?

Man plans.

Yeah.

And then who, Jackie, man plans.

And then who am I?

God.

Yes.

So I'm excited for my drive today, see where my skills are at.

My skills are pretty good.

I just need to get more comfortable.

That's what everyone says.

Of course.

You know, and it's like

having someone in the passenger seat to be like, is it safe to switch lanes?

As opposed to me being,

you know, white knuckling.

And then turning over.

Yeah.

Yeah, but then turning and then coming back because I'm scared.

100%.

No, I'm okay.

Changing lanes is like, I feel like the last thing you get comfortable doing.

Like I'm still always a little, ooh.

I feel like the last thing I'll be comfortable with is parking.

Oh, for sure.

That's why you just have to go to the mall because the mall has valet.

I know.

Can I get my groceries at the mall?

Work on it.

Why don't you petition the local town council?

Literally.

Mothers who can't drive.

Mothers who don't really want to drive.

You can start one of those nonprofits, you know, like mothers against drunk driving.

You should do mothers who can't park.

Yeah.

Or I get, I try and get as many of my groceries online as possible.

Like I do Thrive Market, but no, but that's a crutch.

That's a crutch.

It is a crutch.

No, but like in New York, I got my groceries online.

And also like,

like I used to, when I moved down down here, I was like, I'm going to go to the grocery store.

Yeah.

Um, but like, it's a lot to like go every week and get like a heaping cart full of stuff and like get it out.

And I think I'm just gonna, I want to go back to ordering groceries online.

Like, I'll go to the grocery store, you know, when I want a soda and like a little snack and make it a fun

little treat.

But I need to go back to getting my groceries delivered because I don't like I

it's just not for me.

Wow.

Maybe you should come back to New York then.

Sounds like you'd fit in.

No, I feel like everybody's doing it.

Oh, oh, turn.

Oh, my God.

You know what?

Ben was in the studio yesterday because Good Guys recorded an episode, probably with the most famous person who's ever been on any of our TNN shows.

And those freaks have been podcasting for six months and they get like the guest of all guests.

And when I got here this morning, like everything was different, you know, like the camera was like a little move.

The computer was a little move.

My table with all of my supplies, you know, my hair, my lip, my fan, my scrunchie, my water, my tissues tissues was cleared.

It's just like everything is off now.

So I just dropped my phone because like the exact

place it was yesterday is not where it is.

Yes.

Also, when you just said good guys, I thought you said food guys, which makes me realize like that is just their name of the show.

That should be the name of their show.

It's one letter off, literally.

And it's all they talk about.

And it's all they talk about.

Yeah, so stay tuned for that episode coming out.

I think you guys are going to quake.

And there's also, you know, I'm not going to spoil it.

Okay.

Without further ado,

here are the past five stories that you need to know before you embark on your weekend.

Today's episode is sponsored by State Farm.

The State Farm Personal Price Plan helps you create a plan that gives you options.

So you get an affordable price and it comes with a lot of benefits, like the coverage you want, a policy that helps cover what's important to you, and an affordable price that's made just for who?

You.

Because after all, life is just better when you can personalize your experiences.

I mean, Jax, are we not always saying that?

Like, how personal is comedy?

How personal is food?

How personal is poetry how personal is literally like anything not more personal than insurance I'll tell you that right it's like we all have different needs we all have different homes we all have different everything so it's like why would we not have like a hella personalized insurance plan just for us hella because some people say hella and some people don't that's pretty personal too Yeah, I mean, I disagree.

I think everyone should be saying hella, but I hear your point.

Personalization means you have the power to choose what you want to include and what you want to leave out.

It just feels better that way.

And why shouldn't insurance work like that too?

And that's what the state farm personal price plan is all about.

You can choose to include options like bundling your home and auto policies, which means you'll get the coverage you want at an affordable price just for you.

And in the end, you'll have a policy that gives you what you want.

Doesn't that feel better?

Like a good neighbor.

All right, let's dive in.

Tell me what's going on in the world today, Jax.

First story, a little legal news.

Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to another 16 years in prison.

Harvey Weinstein was sentenced on Thursday to another 16 years in prison for sex-related crimes.

The disgraced Hollywood producer, 70, is already serving a separate 23-year sentence for raping an aspiring actress and sexually abusing a TV and film production assistant, of which she was convicted in March 2020.

The latest ruling pertains to Weinstein's LA trial, which concluded in December 2022, with a guilty, 2022, not 2020 as well, sorry, with a guilty verdict on three counts, forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, and sexual penetration by foreign object of Jane Doe One, an Italian model at the Mr.

C Hotel in the city in February 2013.

He was found

not guilty of sexual battery by restraint of Jane Doe 3, a massage therapist at the time.

So 16 more years for Harvey, already serving a 23-year sentence.

He's 70 years old.

This is jail for life.

Oh, wow.

I didn't even put that together.

I didn't realize how old he was.

He's been like in the paparazzi photos, he's been looking so haggard and disgusting

because he is, but I feel like it's also opposed to how he used to look.

Right.

So true.

But I felt like it's, you know, they always do that.

It's like, look at me, I'm an old man.

Like, who could I have hurt?

But I didn't really realize he was 70.

Wow, he's really going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Yeah.

And I feel like this, I don't know when all this started in terms of his come up in at least five years.

It's been a while.

He was in his early 60s.

Now he's 70, but he's already been serving time in prison.

I'm glad justice has been served and that he will be in prison for life.

I feel like we're always like coming on here and and like talking about how the justice system has like failed another time, you know?

Something like this is so gorgeous.

It's so just

and no amount of time

will be too much ever.

And I'm so glad that that this happened.

I do feel though in a way, you know, obviously Harvey Weinstein was like the biggest and the baddest perpetrator of, you know, sexual abuse in Hollywood and the whole Me Too movement.

And I feel like a lot of people feel like because he's like, not that he's being made an example because

he did that shit and he deserves it, but I feel like everyone's like, oh, well, we solve the problem.

And it's just like, it's, there's so many Harvey Weinsteins.

And I feel like, okay, we got one guy in jail.

There's like 50 of them.

Yeah.

And there's also like guys exactly like Harvey, like big Harveys, little Harveys, middle Harveys, like they're Harveys all over.

It's the culture of Hollywood.

I feel like this allows people to think like we've solved sexual harassment and inappropriate sexual behavior in Hollywood.

I don't, from what I understand, like that's not the case.

But

some justice is better than no justice.

Yeah.

I just feel like everyone, like, it's like, oh, me too.

Like, we won.

But like, you really didn't.

Yeah, you got the worst of them for sure.

Like, he's far and away, like, the number one worst.

But, like, I feel like there's so many others who are like on his level.

Yeah.

And then there's kids' stuff too.

Of course.

Pedophiles.

Of course.

We can't even get into that.

That's like a whole other episode.

I don't know.

It's like, it's good, but there's like so much more.

And I feel like there's no, no one else is on trial.

No.

I'm trying to think who it.

No, there are some people.

I don't know where their trials landed, but like Kevin

Spacey.

Yeah, his trial landed fine.

Like nothing happened to him.

Yeah, Bill Cosby.

That's true.

That's true.

The guy from that 70s show.

Yes, you're right.

Danny something.

Masterson.

Yeah.

So,

yeah no you're right i also just feel like you know there's like known people in hollywood who have like you know

accusations out there about them and they're just like slowly creeping their way back to where they were before you know like it's they're like unfazed yeah well

i know you would hope something like this would phase them it's like right do you want to spend your whole life in prison right

i don't know

So some good legal news.

Yes, we love to see the justice system out there doing its thing.

Yeah.

Our next story is an update from yesterday.

Just a weird saga of the week, Selena Gorges and social media.

Selena is taking a social media break amid the Haley Bieber drama.

She is leaving social media for now, at least.

The star has been getting busy online in recent days, sharing sultry snaps, commenting on a resurfaced video of Haley Bieber, which we'll talk about, and weighing in on internet drama.

However, she revealed she's going to be calling it quits amid the silly drama with Haley.

That she started.

She said in a TikTok live quote, I'm very happy.

I'm so blessed.

I have the best friends and the best fans in the whole world, and I just couldn't be happier.

I'm good.

I love the way I am.

I don't care.

And yeah, I'm going to be taking a second from social media because this is a little silly and I'm 30.

I'm too old for this.

I agree.

I love you guys so much and I will see you guys sooner than later.

I just have to take a break from everything.

So this has been a very strange week for Selena Gomez because she's been in the headlines a lot, but by her own doing, she's kind of been acting very bizarre on social media.

And I feel like a lot of people are like concerned for her because she's obviously been very open about her struggle with like lupus, but also her mental health.

And I just feel like some of this behavior is like a little erratic.

Like it's reminding me a little bit of like on a much smaller scale, but like Brittany almost.

So different, but I and I saw those concerns a little bit.

And I just...

Want to be cautious because I don't like when like someone does something that you disagree with and then you're like, oh, well, that's that's because she has bipolar disorder.

And it's like, she could also just like feel that way.

You know what I mean?

Like, no, that's true.

It could be that her, you know, she's going through something right now, but it could also just be like, no, this is Selena's personality and she's online doing her thing.

I know, but it is so uncharacteristic of her.

And the live, I watched her TikTok live clip where she was saying she's going off social media.

She just did seem kind of like all over the place and very un Selena-like.

Yeah.

But I feel like we also don't get that many many glimpses into

live Selena.

She's been going live more recently, but I feel like she's been keeping up this energy of like really engaging with stuff.

I mean, this Haley content is kind of to a different level.

And so maybe it's her people being like, we need to let this settle down because like

I don't know that this is the right look for us.

And or maybe she is experiencing a mental health crisis.

But I just, I always just want to be cautious of being like, oh, she did something I don't agree with mental health no that's actually a really good point I appreciate that but let's just backtrack so for anyone who's like not keeping up with tick tock 24 7 like I am what Selena has basically been doing these last couple of days is like leaving comments on other people's videos about different subjects so the one that's being referenced here is a clip of Haley Bieber like She looks so different.

It must be five years ago, maybe more.

She looks so young on that show.

I think it's Lip Sync Battle or

Drop the Mic.

Rap Battle.

yeah yeah no so um she co-hosted drop the mic and method man referenced taylor swift's 2017 album reputation and he said celebrities will perform a one-on-one rap battle full of the meanest lyrics about a celebrity since taylor swift's last album and then haley like puts her finger in her mouth like eh

um Obviously, I'm a Taylor stand till I die.

And this was literally seven years ago.

So you're never not once going to catch me like, oh man, like about something that happened so long ago.

So she's also really young.

she's also playing a part she's on tv like right the caption on this video is this is the real hailey bieber oh my god the ton of bully rip and then selena commented on it saying so sorry my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game

Yeah, so like this person trying to act like this one out of context clip from 10 years ago is the real Haley Bieber is really moronic.

And then Selena commenting on it and validating it is really, it's in my opinion, like it's irresponsible.

Like that's in so much hate Haley's way after like what has already happened between them.

Like that was really, honestly, Selena should not have done that.

Then people started making these other videos about Selena.

And it's so funny because like they saw Selena was being active.

And I feel like the amount of content about Selena like tripled in the hopes.

Like I saw influencers.

I saw regular people making complimentary videos towards Selena just in the hopes that like they would get commented on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So someone else made a video.

I was like, you know what I was thinking about today?

Like.

I feel so bad for Selena Gomez.

You know, she was, you know, with this guy for so many years that she was in love with.

And then two months later, he gets married to a girl he just met.

And she has to deal with her lupus flare-ups.

And anytime anything bad is going on in my life, I just think like, oh my God, it's so much worse for Selena.

And it's like, okay, get a fucking grip.

Like, yes, like any human being, Selena has been through success and challenges.

Trials and tribulations.

Of life.

But like, let's also keep in mind, Selena's like extremely privileged.

You know, she has a thriving business.

Like,

let's get a grip.

Like, you don't need to, she's not like a starving child in Africa.

Okay.

Right, right.

No, that video, when she said that at the end, like whenever I'm having a bad day, I just think about how Selena get, I was like, is this a parody?

Like, that's a joke.

And then Selena commented, I love you.

So it's like, yeah, you should feel bad for me.

It's like, well, you know, I sometimes will think, like, wow, I'm so privileged.

I'll compare my life to, you know, someone who lives in a different country and doesn't have, you know, anything, doesn't have fresh water.

Like, I, of course, that's a normal thing.

I don't think that about Selena Gomez.

No, no.

That was really fucking unhinged, honestly.

It was.

I was shocked to see that.

Then Selena commented on it.

But to me, it's like

given the other things that she's been commenting on, like that's not even that crazy.

Here's just like a girl supporting her, not even actually trashing anyone else along the way.

Just like

being very supportive of Selena.

There have just been like really bizarre videos that she's commented on, really kind of.

fanning the flames videos that she's commented on towards Haley, towards Kylie.

The flames are being fanned.

She commented on another video where, you know, someone was talking about how Kylie and Haley are bullying Selena.

Like, how could those Nepo babies know anything?

And Selena commented on that.

Like, Selena's being a shitstarter.

She's in her shitstarting era.

Yeah.

And we said yesterday, like, she should put the phone down.

There is a social media break upcoming.

I imagine her team is like, put your phone down.

Cause even though I think mostly people are taking Selena's side, you know, the narrative is like the Nepo babies are the mean girls and Selena's just like sad Selena.

I don't see it that way.

I think that's just like what people who are speaking out are saying and everyone else is like.

Jackie, That's just what the Selena fans are thinking and once again

making videos in defense of the Nepo babies

Yeah, like it's not as much but it's because the only people making videos are the diehard Selena fans no and because like just Selena like it's just like this victim mentality where it's like why would you you don't want to be seen to like support the bullies But they're not their bullies.

That's so dumb.

I don't want I don't think we're I mean aside from us just saying this like I'm not seeing everyone being like Yeah teen

Nepo.

Nepo.

There's not a strong narrative, you know, for the other side.

Who's the third person in this story?

Like, it's Kylie, Haley, but there was like a third person in the video.

Justine Skye.

Oh, okay.

There was no Kendall.

Okay.

Maybe Kendall was in one of them with Haley.

I don't know, but it's just Kylie and Haley that's being, you know, the bullies, quote unquote, right now.

Who are the face of this.

Yeah, it's so dumb.

And I feel like nobody would have really thought much of it if Selena hadn't just gotten so active and been like, yeah, they're targeting me.

Yeah.

So then it's like she commented on the Kylie one and was like, no, I don't think this is about, like, I love Kylie.

I'm a fan, blah, blah, blah.

But then she goes and comments on other videos supporting that Haley and Kylie are bullies theory, you know?

Yeah.

It's like she's just really kind of encouraging her fans and her fans are extremely toxic.

I feel like this is a great example of that.

And Selena encouraging them is making it worse.

And then it's just encouraging other people who aren't even invested in this saga to like make content because they just want Selena to comment on it.

Yeah.

And also like Selena positioning herself like she's really the victim.

Like it really makes her fans feel so

much worse for her.

Yeah, no, but so

like so righteous that they're standing up for Selena.

So they don't see this toxic behavior.

It's like Selena needs us.

Look what's look what's happening.

We're justified.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's it's a bad look for everyone.

Yeah.

And I love my girl Selena.

Like love.

Yeah.

But a break is always good.

A break, you're never going to regret taking a a break.

You will regret not taking a break.

And that's from anything, not just social media, life in general, you know?

Yes.

You'll never look back and be like, I wish I took less breaks, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I mean, unless you're saying yes to life, then you're kind of in a pickle.

That's true, actually.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah, I think I am.

I really do.

Lucy Hale went on a podcast and was crying detailing her incredibly self-destructive journey to sobriety.

I saw a lot of clips on this and I first of all loved that she went on a podcast.

Love.

Diary of a CEO was the podcast.

And I really feel like more and more, anytime a celebrity has something really profound or like personal to share, like they're always going, I mean, Kelsey Ballerini, like they're always going on podcasts.

Podcasts really are the new frontier.

Yeah.

No, it's the perfect medium.

to share your story because you can share until the cows come home until you feel adequately shared.

There's no time constraints.

There are also, most people like have studios in their houses or like big fluffy chairs.

They're really kind of casual and comforting.

Intimate.

Yeah, it's not like this stiff Good Morning America set with a thousand lights and fans outside.

Like it's really intimate.

Exactly.

That's a perfect word.

And nobody's going to take your words out of context because like it's you're you're putting out your truth.

So true.

There's no editing.

No.

Most at least there shouldn't be.

Yeah.

Lucy L broke down in tears, reflecting on her incredibly self-destructive journey to sobriety.

When the PLL alum immediately teared up during Thursday's Diary of a CEO podcast episode, she warned host Stephen Bartlett that she cries all the time speaking about her path.

She said, quote, I just love where I landed in my life, and it's been a really powerful and painful, insightful, joyous, horrible journey.

She told listeners that she has been working on getting sober since she was 20, clarifying that she had had a problem since she first tried alcohol at age 14.

Oh, wow.

She said, not only did drinking quiet her mind, which was exhausting, but Hale felt like her real self under the influence, a feeling she now understands to be bullshit.

She said, I was a textbook binge drinker, blackout.

I wouldn't remember what I did or said, although she tried to change for her boyfriends, her mom, her career, and for vain reasons, she said, she had to personally want to get sober for the choice to stick on January 2nd, 2022.

She said, I deserve more out of this life.

I have to try it a different way, explaining her lowest moment came after dozens of emotional rock bottoms at the depths of hell.

She credited her resilience with always pulling herself out of hard times and slingshotting herself the other way.

Those are the quotes.

I love, I love Lucy Hale.

It's so interesting how like when I look back on the last few years and just like my perception of her, like I never would have guessed as she seems so, you know, put together and so perfect.

Yeah.

And of course, you'd true, you really,

you really never know like what someone's going through, especially somebody in the public eye.

And that's why it's so important to just like chill and like be nice to everyone because public, private, celebrity, non-celebrity, like people have demons.

And we've known her for so long.

She's been famous.

She, I think she got on PLL when she was like 16 and she had like a few roles before that.

Yeah.

So it's like we've known her for so long and she's always been just to us a kind of like America's sweetheart vibe.

Yeah, she's always been working.

It seems like she works hard.

You would have never guessed this.

I feel like so often when celebrities get sober, it's like, well, we saw them kind of self-destruct and now unravel.

And, you know, we're on the whole journey.

So to know this now i feel like really her telling her story we've not heard a celebrity it reminds me of one other story but we've not really heard a celebrity story like this like she's been struggling for 15 years with sobriety hiding it from yeah the world really well i feel like this is a sort of story that really helps people you know and to like look at themselves and be like well maybe i don't see myself as you know uh what I think of as an alcoholic or someone with a drinking problem, but I'm,

you know, I'm harming myself and I'm kind of self-destructing my own life.

You know what you just reminded me of?

This morning, Luke Homes

released a new song called Joe, and he put out a statement just to give some context as to what the song was about.

And I was so moved by his statement and it was, it was so honest and self-aware and thoughtful.

I'm going to read it.

He wrote, there have been some folks in my family that have struggled with alcoholism and addiction through the years.

I've got buddies who live a sober lifestyle, and I'm sure you all know someone who has struggled with these types of things, or maybe you yourself do.

This song, Joe, is really important to me for that reason.

Our genre, meaning country music, has so many songs about drinking and partying.

Hell, I'm probably one of the worst culprits of it.

There's nothing wrong with that, I don't think, but sometimes I wonder what someone in the crowd who doesn't drink or struggles with addiction is thinking or feeling when there's thousands of people around them screaming, beer never broke my heart, or one too many.

I've always wanted a song for those people to have for themselves, to have a song they can sing at the top of their lungs and feel like they're not forgotten.

So when Eric Dylan sent me the work tape of this song a few years back, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.

So if you're reading this and this song speaks to you, I hope you love it.

This one's for you.

I like almost got like emotional reading it.

It was so thoughtful.

And you really do never think about how everyone has their own demons.

And so these things that are accepted in popular culture, like drinking and just like getting wasted, that so many people can deal with in a healthy way, but there are also people who can't.

I just thought it was so.

I was so moved by it.

It was so thoughtful, honestly.

Yeah, and very considerate to everyone.

I feel like, you know, there are more and more people who are becoming sober either because they struggle for addiction or they're just like something about drinking culture, drugs, like just doesn't agree with like their

personal chemical makeup.

Yeah, no, but like also just, you know, it doesn't, it could hinder their like life or their motivation or their progress, their work, you know, whatever it is.

Like I rarely, rarely drink.

Yeah, I was going to say, do you consider yourself like a sober person?

I just feel like sober implies that you had like an addiction.

Yeah, no, I mean,

I don't know what the word for it would be, like, the fact that, like, I do not drink, except like, I would have a spritz, you know, when the when the vibes are right,

I wouldn't have more than one or two because I don't like the way that it makes me feel.

So, I don't consider myself a sober person, but I identify with sober people.

Yeah, yeah, especially because, like, I used to drink so much, and I, it's not like something that I woke up one day, I was like, I need to change my ways, and I feel fortunate that it was just a gradual, like, natural thing that I kind of shed.

But

when people talk about getting sober and like describing in this way, and also because like, I never did anything like so crazy, but like, I really relate to it.

Cause it's, it, it's really harmful, like, especially, I think when I really stopped drinking so much when we started running our own business.

And it's like, yeah, I don't want to be hungover.

I want every day to like, when I'm working, to be as productive as possible.

I don't want to feel like shit.

Like,

I get that.

Yeah, of course.

So I think it's awesome that you share.

It reminded me, I wanted to say, of Chrissy Teigen.

I don't know where she wound up, but because she was sober for a while.

I mean, she would share like why she got sober, how she was always like the drunk one at the industry events.

And we would see her and we thought it was so awesome.

And she was so funny, but like the way she would feel the next morning, like the things that she said.

Like she embarrassed her husband.

Like that's how she would feel.

And I feel like that was really relatable.

Yeah, because it wasn't.

I think that's how a lot of people's relationship with alcohol is.

Like you'll do crazy things and you don't feel like you're an addict and you're not, but you'll do crazy things and you just don't like the way you feel the next day.

I think John Mayer talks about it really well too.

I don't think he really drinks.

I think he smokes pot.

Just because it wasn't so destructive, but it was just, you got tired of feeling like anxious and embarrassed the next day.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I think that's awesome that she's sharing and that she did this and that she.

Me too.

It's been a year.

And I think it's.

probably was a really good move that she didn't share until she was a year sober because it's a lot of pressure to put on yourself to have it out there.

It is, but it's also nice now to like have that level of accountability knowing that everyone knows.

Yeah, but it like I they say it's always really hard when you're like

a recovering alcoholic, but I feel like quitting those days are harder than one year in.

But that's just my perception of it.

Say it again.

I feel like the early days of quitting are harder than being one year sober.

No, I think it's really a struggle every day.

Like that's what they always say.

That's what they say.

Right.

I'm saying that's what they say.

It's like you literally, you have to take every day one day at a time.

That's always what they say.

It's like, don't think about how many days you have behind you, and don't think about how many days you have ahead of you.

Like, just think about today.

Yeah.

I think, also, I think that's a really good way of thinking, just for anything, you know, life in general.

Life can be hard, life can be long.

Like, as long as you take it one day at a time, like, you're going to be okay.

Yeah, agreed.

I think that's a good mentality.

Our next story, another celebrity is opening up.

Paris Hilton reveals in her new interview with Glamour magazine that she was roofied and raped at 15 by an older man.

Oh my God, I didn't hear this.

Yeah, this was yesterday because she is on the cover of Glamour.

She's on like, yeah, she has photos out with the baby, but also her book is coming out in a few weeks.

So she's like, just has a lot going on right now, a lot of press.

But she sat down for an interview with Glamour and revealed that her first sexual encounter was non-consensual and occurred at the age of 15.

She claimed her abuser was an older man she met at a local mall in California who allegedly slipped something into her drink and took advantage of her.

At the time, she was living with her maternal grandmother in Palm Springs.

She told the outlet that she'd visit LA to see her friends and hang out at the Westfield Century Center shopping center almost every weekend.

She noted that older guys would always just be hanging out around the stores and that she and her pals would talk to them and give them their beeper and pager numbers.

One day, the group of men invited Paris and her girls to their house where the miners were allegedly given berry wine coolers to drink.

Hilton, who quote, didn't drink or do anything back then, recalled one of the guys being particularly forceful in making her consume her beverage.

When I had maybe one or two sips, I just immediately started feeling dizzy and woozy.

I don't know what he put in there.

I'm assuming it was a roofie.

The new mom said she passed out and woke up a few hours later knowing that something had happened.

Quote, I remembered it.

I have visions of him on top of me covering my mouth being like, you're dreaming, you're dreaming, and whispering that in my ear.

Oh my God.

She said, the experience preceded the two plus years that seemingly

troubled team spent at various expensive behavioral modification programs, including Provo Canyon School,

which we know she shared in her documentary, This is Paris.

But she's opening up even more.

And this is just so sad.

No, it's so sad.

And I just feel like it's so,

I feel like we've been in this last few years, like slowly uncovering, like peeling back the layers of who Paris Hilton really is.

And I feel like this is just a testament to like how we really don't know her, you know?

She's so complex.

Like everyone thinks she's like this heiress, like perfect life.

And there's so much there.

I feel like her book is going to be amazing.

Like I really, I really feel like it is.

Yeah, because she has so much more to share.

I feel like her documentary inadvertently wound up focusing on her years at Provo and then like the advocacy that she was doing and the healing she was doing.

But I, that's only one part of her story and one part of like the trauma that she went through.

So I think her book will really, and if this is like what she's sharing in an interview, like, and the book is really where you go to, you know, kind of bury your soul.

I think she's really going to do just that and just be completely honest.

honest I think it's what a terrible story horrible story first I mean everything was worse it kept getting worse that's so terrible yeah so people are so fucking disgusting and evil like

beyond beyond

uh well I do think her book will I feel like I don't know if we'll really ever know who like the true underneath all like the makeup I don't know if we'll really ever know like 100% the real Paris but I feel like our the book will get us like a give us a huge understanding of like what she became, like, and how she became it.

She became this like larger than life.

She created this whole like industry of like, in, like original influencer and paparazzi.

Like, she really was that.

And it's kind of because she was like spinning out from this trauma of like her childhood.

But also, it was a defense mechanism to like put out someone to the whole world.

And everybody thinks that this is who you are.

And only I know the real me.

Yeah.

So

we'll see, but it seems like those walls are coming down.

Yeah.

Like, and they will continue to because she's just right now.

She's a mom.

She's a mom and she's in a different stage of her life and her career and it's just reflecting.

The photos were beautiful of her and the baby, and Carter just like kind of stripped down.

Her baby's so beautiful.

I'm loving this era for Paris.

Yeah, loving.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Are you saying it's time for

the final story?

A beautiful rendition from the beautiful songstress Turdy.

Just kind of kind of like an acoustic version, you know.

You should become a pop star.

Like Had in Montana, where you're under an alias, because obviously, like, you want to maintain your life.

I want you to be able to come visit me still.

Of course.

One name wonder.

Turdy.

Turd.

Turd.

No.

Turdy.

Turdy.

That's like more feminine.

Turdy.

Turdy, turdy, turdy.

Let me be your turdy.

Speaking of pop stars, one of our favorites, Addison Ray,

will starve queen, come back queen.

Horror movie called Thanksgiving opposite Patrick Dempsey.

Addison is planning to tackle the horror movie genre according to new reports.

The TikTok star who nabbed her first acting role in Netflix's remake of She's All That, titled He's All That, which was an amazing movie that you should watch that's on Netflix, will star in a slasher movie for her sophomore film, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is an Eli Roth movie called Thanksgiving.

It's a horror movie, which is based on a faux trailer he made

for Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's double feature Grindhouse in 2007.

Who cares?

Yeah, I don't know.

People, though, people definitely care.

No, I just thought someone else was announced as being in the movie.

Somebody's really legit.

Yeah, like this is a legit movie.

I love that for Addison.

Is he going to play her dad?

By the way, I cannot think of anything other than Eli Roth in this story.

Do you know why?

Like, on a personal level?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When we were in high school, he, like, was dating like this girl we knew.

Yeah.

They were cute.

Yeah.

And he's in in Glorious Fast fashion he was fantastic i i only have oh yeah um positive associations my only association is like i didn't even know who he was except when i was like literally 14 like one of olivia's like older friends was dating him and i was like who is this guy yeah cute that's what i think of ship um

So I don't watch horror movies, so I don't know if I'll make an exception for Addison.

I just need to protect my peace.

I'm not interested.

Oh, okay.

But I'm glad that our girl's back to work.

It's weird that this is her choice.

I'm not going to lie.

Like, where's he's all at the sequel?

Where's her starring in Britney Biopic?

Like, where's anything other than this, but whatever?

It's weird, but it seems like it's a pretty legitimate affair.

And I know it's not hard type.

For sure.

Hards are huge.

They're the ones that like make all the money these days.

Right.

And so I feel like ever like I've I feel like in the last couple of years, they're not like, this isn't like paranormal activity.

It's more like thriller almost.

I feel like it's almost going to be in like the like Jordan Peele category.

I don't know why.

It's like artsy film.

30s no so it's based on that quint and tarantino nonsense where those films centered around a group of survivors fighting zombie like creatures and an action thriller about a stuntman getting targeting victims with his killing machine car um while details of her character are still unknown sources told thr that the film will be centered around a murderer who comes to a small town in massachusetts with the intent of

carving out residence in the town to create a thanksgiving board

got it okay i totally misunderstood so it's definitely like zombie apocalypse dumb like nobody Carving out resonance, I guess that's not like supernatural or

what's the word that we use all the time about books?

Mystical.

Paranormal.

Paranormal.

No.

It's like nothing to see here.

That was.

It required a bit of suspense to be suspended.

Suspending disbelief.

Got it.

Mystical realism?

Magical realism.

Yes, yes.

We got it.

Yeah, no, I definitely feel like the new trend with like really successful horror movies is like really influenced by Jordan Peele.

It's like, it's not as like gory fake blood.

It's just what you think.

Right, but that's not what this is.

I figured that this might be what this is.

Like the other movies were about zombies, but this one is about like a serial killer who carves out people.

Okay, it still sounds like a little silly, like silliness.

Yeah.

So check out Thanksgiving in the theater sometime soon.

Yeah, no, I love this for Addison.

Hopefully this is like the, you know, jumpstart to the comeback.

She's been very quiet.

I know.

I miss her every day.

I know.

She's still like as active on social media as like an influencer, but really not giving much, not like opening up or sharing or really anything.

Does she dance on the talk still?

She more like lip syncs.

Okay, cute.

Yeah.

She's definitely pulled back.

But I feel like her family stuff has really quieted down.

Like she, hopefully her fucking parents, somebody gave them like a mean talking to,

and hopefully they'll just chill the fuck out and shut the fuck up.

You can hope.

One can only dream.

And so that, you know, kind of paving the way for a big Addison comeback.

B-A-C.

But she's also just like happy in her relationship.

Happy period.

Yeah, these are all Addison's choices.

And I have to respect those.

Yeah, true.

True.
