Our Green Era: Tuesday, January 17th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Tuesday.

Hope everyone's having a fabulous Tuesday that feels like a Monday.

I am sitting down.

We're back in New York.

I'm with my girl, Jax.

And truly, truly, what else?

What more could you ask for?

Hey, y'all.

How y'all doing?

Okay, Jackie like is clearly spending so much time on her fake TikTok, like her Finn Sta.

User 1978-2221.

Okay, I sent sent Claudia a TikTok from my FicTok this morning, not because I spend time on it, but as stated, and this isn't something I'm hiding from you guys, I do have TikTok app on my iPad.

If I ever want to like look at the Morning Toast fan accounts and Claudia's TikTok, that's all I really use it for.

But one of the stories from today comes with an associated TikTok that I had to watch and then I had to send to you to make sure that you've seen it because it's something you have to see in order to comment on.

And that's how I knew Jackie was like literally living a lie, Hannah Montana, two lives with her user 19872843812

account.

Well, something else that's a bit the other side of me.

I have a really big personal update to share with the class.

I think I know what it is.

I know you guys aren't going to expect this.

It's kind of the plot twist of the century given like everything else I've been saying the last few weeks, but I'm getting a Tesla.

Yeah, okay.

I thought that was what you were going to share.

So you've been investigating deep on what type of mama car you should get and you've landed on the Tesla.

Tell us why.

Obviously, aside from, you know, you wanting to like lick Elon's butthole, but besides that.

No, but I wanted to lick Elon's butthole when I was getting a Volvo.

So what changed?

What changed?

No, it's that's what I'm asking you.

Great question, Claude.

You ask all the great questions.

Also,

okay, sorry.

So

last you guys heard, I was debating between Lexis and Volvo.

I was just like waiting for someone to take me to to a dealership so I could make my choice.

But then on Friday, we had a guest come over, like one of Zach's family friends, and he was driving a Tesla.

And I didn't like think anything of it.

And he was insistent that I drive it to lunch.

And I was like, I didn't, I literally didn't ask, but I was like, okay, you know, I do have my license.

That'd be cool.

And I really enjoyed the driving experience.

Not that I spent so much time driving, but it felt nice.

I liked that it was like a golf cart where it's like, if your foot's not on the gas, the car doesn't move you don't need to if you're at a stop sign you don't need to hit the brake you just let up on the gas so i like that and i drive the golf cart most of the time so it'd actually be easier for me to get used to that than getting used to a gas guzzler but what really sold me was he was talking about how safe it is and how like he knew someone who had been in an accident in tesla and the it was a t-bone accident and the car actually like detected the accident coming before the driver even knew and like so it was able to turn itself a little bit to like position the impact to not be so harmful to the driver um and just all these different like safety things about it that it's so heavy even we saw last week that car that drew drove off that cliff did you see it it was a tesla a man drove his car off the cliff with his whole family in the car he did it on purpose like a psychopath

yeah but the whole family survived Oh, good.

And they were in a Tesla.

So I was really sold on the safety features.

And then I was like, okay, so if I want to get one, like, how do I get one?

Everyone talks about like the wait list, blah, blah, blah.

He was like, no, you just go online and order one.

I was like, but if I want to lease it, he's like, then you just click lease.

Like literally so easy.

And it was.

The way people are always being so dramatic about everything.

Laterd, it was just like placing an order at Revolve, like customize size, color, fit, payment plan.

It's so exciting.

I will say though, it's nice that it drives like a golf cart, but I do feel like you're really like not going to like know how to drive.

Do you know what I mean?

No, I mean, I'll know how to drive and like navigate, but they say when you go and drive a regular car, it takes like a day or two to acclimate.

Well, but you also have no experience driving a regular car.

But why do I need to learn how to drive a regular car?

Like this is a future.

No, for sure.

I'm just saying like I, in the future, like might be trepidatious of getting into a regular car that you are driving.

That's totally fine.

If you were getting into a regular car somewhere that's not in my house, you can take the wheel.

How does that sound?

I would actually prefer that Jesus take the wheel.

Well, if Jesus

is not around, then McLaurin is our second best choice.

That is probably the most truthful thing you've ever said.

When there ain't Jesus, there's McLeod.

There is.

So I'm really excited

about this journey for me.

It says the car is in stock.

Like I should get it in the next few weeks.

I'm on the Tesla app waiting for my delivery date.

Like it's literally so high tech.

It's like ordering.

It was really like ordering an iPhone, which is crazy.

And then the best part, of course, it's like in Elon We Trust.

Like Like now I get to support my boy.

I get to have like opinions about Tesla.

I'm really excited.

No, there's a big community of Tesla owners and they're constantly fighting about stuff on TikTok.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And the best part, the plot twist of the century is that I'm an environmentalist.

Right.

I am a green queen.

The girl who, like, you will have to rip her plastic cups from her cold, dead fingers.

Forget about the straw.

And her straw is out here doing more for the environment than most.

So people.

And I think that's, that's awesome.

People do like to come for me about like the red cups I use on the show.

And I just want to say, like, if you're coming for me and you drive a gas guzzler, I unfortunately can't listen to you.

No, it's so true.

Like, I just,

Greta Thunberg is literally at her house shaking right now.

Greta and I actually have lunch plans because I'm in.

That's so classic.

The green girly's going out for lunch.

We are the green girly.

So let me know if you want to join our club.

Also, another perk is that like I knock wood, like never have to go to a gas station and fill up my car.

I honestly, that I don't know how to do.

I do not know how to do gas.

It's honestly, it's pretty hard.

Like gas, I'll never, and that's like different in every state.

Like it's just confusing.

It's a lot.

And I'm glad to just skip over that part.

It's expensive.

Like I

don't have to be at the whim of gas prices, but I mean, it's all kind of the same because like electric goes up, like your con ed bill changes.

Oh, right.

You know?

So it's like everyone thinks they're like skirting, but um, no, I mean, you could be if you're just like a mooch who uses public charging stations and not like one in your house.

That's so true, but I do think you have to pay to use the charging station.

They're not just like there for free.

Like, Elon's not a charity.

Oh my God.

I literally thought like you could charge your car for free.

I think

I assume you have to pay.

I don't know, but like that would make sense.

You're taking up this place energy.

Who's paying for it?

No, energy doesn't grow on trees.

No.

Interesting.

I'm not sure.

No, no, no.

You definitely have to pay for that.

You're obsessed with me like using public chargers.

You're like, why do you need one in your house?

Like, just go down the street.

Like, why can't I have one in my house?

Because like it's expensive to have it installed.

Like if that was me, like I'd literally just be using other people's chargers.

Like at the, like, I feel like they have them everywhere now.

Like, you don't even need one in your house.

My charger's not charging on my Tesla because it got used to your Tesla instead of mine.

That's true.

So you wouldn't want that to happen.

I'm so fucking happy to be home.

Like there's nothing like your own bed.

That's a wrap on Tesla talk.

No, no, I just like was sitting here thinking about how like the last time we podcasted, I was in like a studio that wasn't mine.

And I'm just like, I'm so happy to be home.

You don't miss your LA era?

No, it was like a really good week, very productive, but there's nothing like being home.

I agree with that, but I feel like everyone was really like rooting for, I feel like everyone loved LA Claudia except for L.A.

Claudia.

Well, that's the price I pay for this lifestyle, you know, like making others happy before I make myself happy.

That's so true.

It was great.

Honestly, like I'm so glad I went.

I said yes to life, but saying yes to life is one of the most tiring things I've ever done in my life.

I know, but you have to keep up the steam.

Like it's only been three weeks.

I think you definitely can pause.

You're not saying no, but you're just saying like, I'm on pause.

But I say nothing to like think that's bearing fruit.

I mean, let's talk about your week.

Obviously, we kept up with you in LA.

It was such a wonderful experience, and you have two great interviews coming out from it, which we're all excited.

Yes, we all are excited to watch those interviews.

They're really good.

But most importantly, and the reason why you went was the 49ers game on Saturday, which I got a play-by-play already, but I was so invested in you being there.

And I was so invested in the game because, like, was she a good luck charm or a bad luck charm?

I was like feeling really like responsible for the outcome of the game.

Now you know how Jessica Simpson feels.

Yeah, I felt like at one point they were, I don't think they were ever like really losing, but like, you know, the other team was doing good.

Things got dark for a second.

They didn't get dark.

They were down by one point for like the, for like the second quarter.

They were down by one point.

But they weren't ever like in grave danger.

Like no one was really worried.

But the second like something would go wrong, I felt immediately like everyone was looking at me and like it was my fault.

Even though like it's so important to remember nobody cares about you.

Like not like that, but but you know the things that you worry about like no one's thinking about no one's thinking about you as much as you are but i was like oh my god i have to get out of this suite everyone is talking about me like they're on a 10 game winning streak what's how is this game different from all other games melody is there well it could have been beneflery

so true it was amazing actually you know what i think it was and it's there's proof of this It was the fact that I was watching and I was rooting for the 49ers because the only part that I watched was when they started to stink up the joint and Brock like didn't know his ass from his elbow and kept running to the left.

And then I had to give Harry dinner.

So I had to actually turn it off so that Harry wouldn't like look at the TV while he eats because like we don't do distracted eating.

And then I turn it back on and it is like a landslide.

Oh, by the way, I turn it back on.

There's five minutes left in the game.

And the five minutes that I'm watching, the Seahawks did score a touchdown.

I shouldn't be watching.

It was like an irrelevant touchdown, but it was like, no, you should not be watching because I was watching like

the 49ers like couldn't get it together.

It was too much pressure.

You should not be watching.

But let me tell you, like, how fun it was.

It was such a, I've been to football games before, but I went with Kristen, Kyle Yuschek's wife, and we sat with George Kittle's wife, Claire, and his family.

So I really like came at it from like the family

side of it.

And I was just thinking, like, there's, it was so nice.

It was so fun.

Like, everyone flew in from like Ohio, all over.

And they're so proud of their like husband, brother, son it was so nice like i it felt like so much more was at stake because it's like the family it was so nice and then last night ben was watching football and i was watching with him and i was really thinking i'm like oh my god all these guys like their parents must be so proud of them like they're so talented so it was really like coming at it from like this wholesome side it was so nice and they're so it's actually crazy how like I just assume like if I was, you know, married to someone in the, in the league, like I would go to every game and like get wasted.

But it's like when they were doing poorly, like the energy and the sweet was like bad.

Like they were like quiet, and I was like, oh my God, wait, we're like not drinking.

But then, like, when they would start to pick back up, it was like, yeah, woo, like, let's drink and like take shots and like, you know, make TikToks.

The energy is like so incumbent upon what's going on in the field.

And like, I get it.

It's an important game, but I'm like, let's party.

Yeah.

YOLO.

You know?

YOLO.

It was so fun though.

And I just, I'm such like a, like a well-versed sportscaster now that I could really,

i think i could see myself working in sports i think that's something that you should aspire to i think they need you i think you need them

you should and let me you should like call your agent and try and get an audition

football is like actually interesting you know i'm not like i was watching the 49ers game and then last time me and ben watched the cowboys game and when i tell you like i was actually interested like that shit is pretty good it's pretty entertaining i too found myself interested this weekend like i was watching harry but I couldn't look away.

I have some notes because

they shoot, okay, when it's like the time, like time to play and it's like first down.

They shoot the field from the side.

And while I think that might be like decent, it would be so much more helpful if they had the camera behind the quarterback.

So you could see what Tom Brady sees.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And last night when I was watching, like a couple times, they shot from behind Tom Brady and Prescott.

And I'm like, this is so much better.

Like I could see everything.

I could see what the quarterback sees.

Yeah, but the fans see it from the side.

So are you a fan or are you a quarterback?

Well, not all the fans.

Oh, I guess it's a 3-6.

It's an arena.

Yeah, no, I was just like, damn, why are they not shooting from behind the quarterback all the time?

Or at least like most of the time?

I understand.

I think they switch it up.

They get a little crafty with their angles.

You know, they have their portrait mode.

They're trying new things.

They really don't.

Like when they have their drone,

but when the game is in play, they're always shooting from the side.

It's actually not an effective way of shooting football.

I do have a degree in cinematography from the New York Film Institute.

But I think also, like, they need to stay the fuck out of the way.

Like, that drone.

I think they can.

I think you can literally stand in the stands with those high-tech cameras and get behind Tom Brady.

Okay.

I think that you can't just like change how the whole game is watched.

Not at once.

I know I just got here to the football community, but like I am pursuing like that's it is a change that's you like coming in as a new driver and getting a tesla you know but like these people have been driving like gas cars for so long they can't just like make a switch all of a sudden well sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes a new perspective and that's what i provide here okay maybe we should start our own sports network network where the whole thing is filmed from your pov tnn plus because for me if if we are filming from my pov like i want eyes on the wags and i want to know who's that who's wife, who's girlfriend, who's kids, who's parents, the facial expressions, who's hanging out with who.

I want WAG TV.

Well, let me tell you how I actually discussed at length with Christian Yuschek the term wag and she did say she doesn't like it and she didn't seem like a weenie who's like, she's not.

She's not like a weenie who's like easily offended.

She was like, I don't know, I just don't like it.

And you know what?

I actually agreed.

Like to diminish a person

to the

occupation of their partner, like it's fucked.

But I just wish there was a different word word because I like to have a word.

That's what I was going to say.

I can respect that.

I just, okay, so what's the word?

Tell me, and it's like,

yeah, what's the word?

Wives and girlfriends?

Wag.

No, I need a term.

I need an acronym.

I'm happy to swap it out.

Just wags really rolls off the tongue.

So it's got to be like

good like that.

Well, so now I want to ask you, I don't know if you know this.

So last night was the Tom Brady Buccaneers versus the Zach Weinreb Cowboys.

And the Cowboys won.

It was actually such a fascinating game.

Like the the Cowboys, they were playing really good, but also like the Buccaneers were, like, I actually genuinely could have done better myself.

Like really bad job on everyone's part, mostly Tom Brady, but everyone else.

And now that means that the 49ers are playing the Cowboys next.

So I'm curious where that leaves your allegiance because you come from a Cowboys household, but this brand was built off the back of the 49ers.

When do they play each other?

This weekend?

I think at the Super Bowl.

No, not at the Super Bowl.

that's the next game.

Yeah.

Shit.

I didn't know I'd have to make a choice so quickly.

I hoped it would sort itself out.

I mean, I'm going to take a different look at it.

And it's a win-win for me because I will be happy with whatever team wins.

Like if the 49ers win, like amazing.

Those are my people.

Like, here we go.

We get like more 49ers.

Content.

If the Cowboys win, amazing.

My husband's happy.

Like, this is so exciting.

And they're doing amazing things.

So it's a win-win.

That's true.

I just wish, you know, like they were playing other teams first and that the game, like that one of them isn't knocked out so soon because it's nice to be invested in two teams.

My odds are greater of being happy.

Yeah.

So true.

Very positive outlook.

I'm extremely positive when it comes to sports.

And then it also just made me think about Tom Brady last night because he was playing this game.

You know, he's the oldest man on the field and he was stinking it up like really genuinely, like very badly.

And I just feel even more resolute.

I feel like when we talked about him coming out of retirement, I did say that this like was very loser energy for him.

And last night he was quite literally a loser, a person who loses.

And it was just kind of like sad.

I'm like, you really should have stopped.

Like you really should have stopped when you retired.

You're just kind of like disgracing your legacy.

And just because like you might have had a few more like good years in you doesn't mean you need to do it, you know?

Yes.

And I think justice for Giselle.

Most people would agree with that.

And I think I would be one of them and go out on top, you know, go out strong.

But like, what if he just loves playing football?

And he's like, I don't need to be the best on the field I just want to play the game and I want to play it at a high level like I don't want to be scrimmaging in my backyard with my 12 year olds like I just want to be playing football even if I'm not winning super bowls I made it to the playoffs and I'm the oldest man on the field like what if it's just like I want to play play ball

No, that's that's definitely possible.

I just think with Tom Brady, there's so much more at stake.

Like you're

working on a legacy.

And that would require like no pride, no ego, you know, none of that.

Just like a love for the game.

I'm not saying that's his mentality, but if it was, that's something I could respect.

It's like, just because I'm not the best anymore doesn't mean I don't want to still do the thing that I love and that I loved my whole life.

Okay, that's really nice.

It is, but I just don't see that being the case.

It's really nice, though.

I think I should be his PR, and that's the angle he should take.

Yeah, no, because that's refreshing.

Like, it's vulnerable and odd.

Yeah, normalize not being the best, but doing what you love.

But don't be like terrible.

And he's not terrible.

He made it to the playoffs.

He's fine.

He lost in the first round.

I'm like, pretty much.

Okay, but plenty of quarterbacks like lose.

It's okay.

Yeah, but not Tom Brady.

That's what I'm saying.

Okay, why can't Tom Brady mean so many different things?

He, because he doesn't.

Like, that's just facts.

But he gets to decide what it means.

Okay, and now it means losing.

Is that what he wanted?

But is he having fun?

No, he was not having fun last night.

Like, literally, the anger.

Every time the camera went to him, he put his head down.

Like, he didn't want to be seen.

It was shame.

It was shame.

I mean, it's also doubly shameful because we all know that he gave up his wife for the sport that is

loving him back right now.

Right.

I think I'm someone who believes that, like, you could be a great football player and be happy to be in the game, even if you're not winning the Super Bowl.

That's so sweet.

It's literally so sweet.

I don't agree, but it's a beautiful story.

And I just think if he's going to do any interviews, like where someone wants to roast him about the choice he made, he should use this line.

I think it would play like really well with a lot of people.

Yeah, no, like, you know,

play to their hearts, you know, he'll touch people.

And make you think like just because you're not the best anymore doesn't mean you have to be out of the game.

Yeah.

Like he could still throw.

Things are going well.

Yeah.

So that's just kind of my like football recap of the weekend.

I'm really like getting into it.

You know, is there a game tonight?

I'm getting into it too.

I think so.

MN, oh no, today's Tuesday.

Oh, that's why there was a game last night.

Oh.

Monday night football.

There was also a game the night before and the night before.

There's a game every day now, which is exciting for us football fans.

Yeah, but I don't think there's a game till Saturday now.

Yeah, I've not heard of Tuesday night football.

I don't know.

It kind of rings the bell.

Maybe that's Thursday night.

They sound similar.

Oh, Tuesday night.

Oh,

Tuesday night.

Kind of, kind of slays.

Yeah.

There's a lot of football coming up, and I don't see our interest waning.

No, I mean, the 49ers are now playing the Cowboys.

Like, I'll be

like, I know this is how it feels to be a football fan.

Like, I'll just be so upset if 49ers don't make it to the Super Bowl.

I'm sure they'll be even more upset.

Where are they playing?

49ers.

Oh.

Damn, you should have gone to that one.

No, I feel, oh, I feel so good about my decision.

I know I tortured everyone last week about like bird in the hand, one in the bush, playoffs, lose, eagles fly.

I feel so good.

Like, I took a risk and it actually worked in my favor.

Like, not only did the Eagles win, so I got to go to the game,

the 49ers won.

Like, everything went in the way that I had hoped that it would.

And that never fucking happens to me.

So, chase your dreams, you know?

Take risks.

I love that.

Yeah.

We're so risky.

It was giving risky business,

you know?

Yeah, it was.

And how is your outfit?

Did everything come together in the way that you had hoped?

I thought you looked great.

It did.

My jacket that I had ordered online last minute arrived right the day before the game at my hotel in San Jose.

It was literally, everything's coming up cloudy.

Everything is coming up cloudy.

That's such an amazing thing.

So we got...

We got winners.

We got Teslas.

We're kind of just coming off like a, like, we're just like a bunch of winners, you know?

It was kind of a transformative weekend for our girls.

Like, we're different people than we were.

We're diehard football fans.

We're green football.

Environmentalists.

And that just goes to show, like, you think you have us figured out, and then we go and change.

I think that we should change the name of the show from the toast to the tune for Greta Thunberg.

I think so too.

And every day is just a plea to have her on the show.

And I mean, what's more environmentalist than me not even having a car?

Because I care so much about the environment.

And the one car we do have is a Tesla.

I mean,

no one's doing more for the environment in this country country right now than us.

You literally can't say anything to us

about our footprint.

Try and talk to me about my footprint.

Try.

Yeah.

My trash doesn't even, and you know what?

I never leave my house, so I emit very few emissions.

And I don't eat a lot of meat,

but enough, you know, because I'm a human being.

I'm not, you know, a cow who's going to eat grass all day.

I am a cow, but

I think this is really good stuff.

We're kind of like entering our our green era.

Look at our plant-based wallpaper.

We're just like supporter of plant life.

That's literally so.

And we've been literally advocating for the McPlant for years.

today's episode is brought to you by Branch Basics, which is kind of entering our green era with us, just ushering us into the green era.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome to the Toonies.

Our first story, we are starting with some somber.

Are you going to dive in?

Oh, yeah, but I usually do that before the.

Yeah, we're just like moving and diving.

But you did a native segue i did a native segue and um we were just like chit-chatting and it wanted to delay like keep talking what else oh okay yeah no sorry i got thrown off by such your organic segue into our organic cleaning products right because like organic lifestyle is very much like a core tenant of the toonies

and of the toast and that's like

So beautiful.

So beautiful.

I mean, we can dive in.

I'm totally ready.

We can get good.

We've got good stories.

Because we have some great stories.

Some people that you're friendly with.

so like want to hear your take on things,

see what you saw in L.A.

If you saw anything that you should know about.

And I think without further ado, yeah, I could dive in.

Anything else that you wanted to share?

Oh, I know you're watching Mindy Project and you're loving.

I'm watching Mindy Project and I'm loving, but I have to say two things about it.

First of all, the amount of cameos on this show is insane.

I don't remember it being on, but it must have been huge at the time.

Chris Shenner was in an episode last night.

Laura Dern, like so many.

And then I'm watching who has a guest cameo?

Josh Peck.

He plays Rayron.

I was like dying.

New episode of Good Guys just dropped.

And then,

oh, I was shook.

You know who else had a cameo?

It was so many.

It was 2013.

I think.

Jussie Smollier.

I forget that before he was like a disgraced liar who lied about a hate crime.

Jesse Smollett was a working actor.

I forgot that.

Yeah, and I, I don't, yeah, I guess it's a cameo because he had like a small role, but he wasn't coming on as like, you know, anything other than just like an actor in the show.

Yeah, no, he was not coming on as like a celebrity cameo.

He was coming on as like a guy who got the job.

Right, right.

Not like Chris Jenner.

No, no, playing herself.

Right, exactly.

It was jarring.

I've never seen him act in anything.

I have to check his IMDB.

Jaggie, you would love this show.

Actually, really, Olivia and Shapiro would love it.

Ben loves it so much.

We hackled.

We were up till two in the morning watching it.

Like, it is so funny.

And Mindy just writes from like the POV of a chubby person perfectly.

Like it's so fucking relatable how like literally her entire life revolves around her weight, which is literally how it is when you're like a self-conscious fat person.

Like

it's so on point.

Like it's hilarious and it's got heart, you know?

What made you start watching it?

Why that?

Why now?

Why that?

She just dropped on Netflix.

I saw, because I follow Mindy on Instagram.

She said like, so like, I guess it was a big deal that it moved from Hulu to Netflix.

And then it was just on my thing.

And me and Ben were in LA.

We weren't, like, looking to commit to, like, a serious show.

And I'm like, I'm on season four already.

I'm devastated.

Like, I love this show.

Like, you love a sitcom.

I do love a sitcom.

It's very

like a dying breed.

Yeah, but I feel like Mindy like really brought a modern take to like the age-old sitcom.

Really, there's no laugh track.

Thank God.

But it's actually, like, there should be a laugh track because it's actually funny.

No.

That's why there isn't one because you don't need to be told when to laugh.

So true.

So true.

And it's just like really out-of-pocket humor.

Like, she goes, like, she goes there.

Like, she has like a lot of Jewish jokes, a lot of like jokes about race.

Like, she's really going there.

I don't find it offensive.

Like, I find it refreshing.

Like, it's funny, you know?

Yeah, that's funny.

As long as, you know, we're joking about everyone.

Mm-hmm.

No, she goes after everyone.

Cool.

I actually just finished my book last night, which is a really,

it's a really buzzy book right now called Demon Copperhead.

It's like very literary, serious.

It was an Oprah's book club pick.

And I think it's like having a moment on the bestsellers.

And everyone's talking about this book.

And it's so good.

It's really long and it's a difficult book to get through because it's just like a sad, long story that doesn't really get great.

But I thought it was so important.

And if you're looking for like a...

a real book, a book that's like a real novel,

Demon Copperhead, like so good.

I told Dana to read it.

It's a Dana's choice for sure.

I have not read like in a few weeks because I just like, you know, you just can't?

Yeah.

Well, that's what was happening to me a few weeks ago.

And I just like watched a ton of TV, but all that TV, like, I had nothing to show for it.

It was making me like more angry and depressed.

And that's because you're not watching the Mindy Project.

Because I wasn't watching the Mindy Project.

No, because I was watching like the Fleischmans, right?

Depressing shit.

Everything is depressing.

That's why I turned away from the TV.

But we just got a huge tv installed in our bedroom so now i'll be able to see if the character is wearing a jewish star and acting nefariously yep um but it's almost like too big like i feel like unless i'm watching you know a movie that's like a real movie what am i doing watching miss rachel on this tv you're living your best life don't come from this rachel but it's like i'm just saying like it's so big yeah you're gonna die it's like a project projector i'm excited it's a projection room above the auditorium hell yeah

okay now i feel like we're we're good to dive in

let's do it Our first story is some sad news that happened Thursday evening.

Lisa Marie Presley has passed away,

and she will be honored with a public memorial service at Graceland.

Oh, that's nice.

So the late singer's Sunday service will take place on the front lawn of the Memphis Estate on 9 a.m.

Page 6 is confirmed.

Her daughter Riley Keogh's rep told Page 6 that the actress, her grandma Priscilla, and her half siblings, Harper and Finley, are grateful for the support, well-wishes, and outpouring of love honoring Lisa Marie.

Elvis' daughter died on Thursday at age 54 after suffering cardiac arrest in her California home.

She died at West Hills Hospital, a medical center after being placed on life support, and they confirmed the passing in a statement to the AP on Thursday.

Okay, so I've now ended up on like Lisa Marie Presley talk.

And

am I the only one who like, maybe if I had thought about it, I would realize that Lisa Marie wasn't related to Elvis.

daughter elvis's daughter oh oh sorry sorry sorry but that's priscilla's daughter

priscilla was elvis's wife and together they had a daughter lisa marie oh sorry but who's the other one

what other one no maybe i'm getting my things confused sorry okay disregard what i just said um

so sad that priscilla presley has like lost her husband and her daughter in her own lifetime like that's not how people are supposed to live yeah also this story like so i read priscilla's memo and i've had such an elvis year So I'm like very, like, just into the family.

And the story, I find it's constantly confusing me because like Lisa Marie is so, was so young and like so on her death is so untimely that like I keep thinking it was like Priscilla, but it's like, it's not.

It's just so crazy and so sad that this person.

died in this way at this age.

Like it's just not supposed to happen like that, especially like before your parents like

it's so sad.

Also like her son, Lisa Marie's son Riley's brother um died by suicide a few years ago so it's just been like oh

a life filled with some tragedy no that is really sad and I agree I get Lisa Marie and Priscilla like kind of confused too um

it's so sad and

I feel like it's so like the timing is so weird because this is like the year of Elvis for everyone.

Yeah, she was just at the Golden Globes.

She's actually been, I feel like more public.

Not that I followed her career really, but I don't recall a time seeing her as much as we've seen her now.

Like she's been with Austin Butler at all of these premieres and all of these award shows.

And she's constantly talking about how proud she is of the film, how it really captured the spirit of Elvis.

Like the whole family is so into it.

It was really like a year, the year of Elvis, you know, since his passing, like for the modern era.

Yeah.

And

just to get this news like a few days after we all saw her at the award show on the red carpet, like

it's it's tragic.

It's tragic.

The timing is so bizarre.

Um, now that everyone's talking about Priscilla Presley, she's like very much infiltrated my TikTok feed.

And the way I forgot she was married to Michael Jackson, that is.

There's a lot of like big fun facts that you, that like keep slipping my mind and then they come back and I'm like, whoa.

No, that interview where they're sitting together and Diane Sawyer Queen is like asking Michael Jackson why he has little kids sleep in his bed and Priscilla's just sitting there.

Like it's that's like a moment in time.

It needs to be

is sitting there.

Oh, wait.

No.

Wait.

Which one married Michael Jackson?

Lisa Marie.

Oh, I thought it was Priscilla, like after Elvis.

No.

Okay, sorry.

The way I cannot keep this family is.

That's what I keep saying.

Yes.

Yeah.

So Lisa Marie.

Okay, this whole time I thought it was Priscilla.

Lisa Marie was married to Michael Jackson.

Yeah, because they also look alike.

Yeah.

As, you know, mother and daughter do.

Should.

And there's so many different like pop culture like touch points to both of them yeah and a lot of it happened before our time so you can find out about it now and it's like it's it shocks you again well if you've never seen clips from that diane swire sit-down interview i don't think i have oh my god it's terror like they talk about just everything like because they got like a shotgun wedding people were really shocked i think at that time um a lot of people thought that michael was gay and this was like his way of proving that he wasn't by marrying like the gorgeous you know daughter of rock and roll king and so they did this weird interview because like they dated for like four days before they got married and everyone was shook and then diane's going after him like why do you have kids in your bed and she's just sitting there it's it's something to see and i i wonder when all that michael jackson stuff came out a few years ago after the documentary like did anybody get a comment from from lisa marie that's interesting i don't know uh also she's the mother of riley keogh who will be playing daisy jones in daisy jones and the six and she she has two other daughters who are twins

from a separate marriage, not Keogh, but now there's three girls with

a trauma.

It's really sad.

And the three girls will be left Graceland.

That is theirs.

Oh.

So Riley Keogh owns Graceland.

A third of it with her sisters because Lisa Marie was Elvis's only child.

Right.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

So I think this really shook up

everyone.

I know it's like been a few days, but it's just so sad.

Yeah.

So

are you ready for our next story, which is a twofer?

A douper?

A twofer because it's under the category of

rumored celeb couples that I'm not totally buying.

Okay.

First up, Selena Gomez is dating.

I'm not buying it in the slightest.

In the slightest.

But this is being being reported as fact.

Yeah,

Us Weekly.

Just consider the source.

Okay, just let me consider the headline.

How about that?

Selena Gomez is dating the chain smokers Drew Taggart following his split from Eve Jobs, says Us Magazine.

New couple alert, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal they aren't trying to hide their romance by sneaking around at members-only clubs.

An insider told us weekly, noting that the pair are very, very casual and low-key.

So where's the picture?

So where's the pic let me say how i don't believe that this is true and if it is true i hate this literally hate

i agree this makes no sense to me no like selena is this is just it's not true like i don't even want to waste my brain cells it's not true i'm sorry i like how suddenly we're all you know revering us weekly as a like a source us weekly could have the exclusive on like a hot new couple whatever it's just not this one.

Like, I can't think of two people who would be worse suited for each other.

I feel like the chain smokers, like, you know,

party.

Party.

They've got a lot of girls and their phone.

Like, and Selena is at a stage in her life where she's ready for a committed relationship.

She's always with the Beckhams.

They're a married couple.

She's not bringing around like her boyfriend.

No.

So I saw a clip

of

Selena Gomez on Watch Rapids Live maybe 10 years ago.

And Andy asked her, he was like, the rumor is, is that Brooklyn Beckham broke up with Chloe Grace Moretz because he was so smitten by you.

Can you confirm that?

She was, Selena goes, isn't he like 12?

And that's literally the like first time they've ever commented on each other publicly.

And now when you look at that, knowing that like she's literally a threesome with Nicola and Brooklyn, it's so weird.

Yes, I saw that too.

But that's a really good response.

Like that makes me feel like, no, they weren't.

No, I I don't think there was anything going on.

But then I was also reminded of Brooklyn Beckham dating Chloe Grace Moretz forever.

I forgot.

I had forgotten as well.

And also, I just like forgot about Chloe Grace Moretz.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was thinking about her the other day.

Where she went.

Literally no idea.

Where in the world is Chloe Grace Moretz?

She's hanging out with Addison.

On the Amalthi.

Yeah.

So I don't believe this for one second.

Me neither.

If they can get a picture of them together, like walking, maybe they're working on a song together.

Like literally, it would be business, not a relationship.

No way, no how.

No way, no how.

Like I need to see a wedding photo of these two to believe it.

And I still wouldn't.

I would be like, it's PR for a new song.

PR.

No, literally.

Maybe they do have a new song, though, coming out.

And like, this is the beginning of the PR stint to make the song big.

And that's like how the PR business works.

And I could accept that.

And I would say.

I too accept.

And I would say that's good PR, even though no one would buy that these two are dating, even though they're age-appropriate, they're both into music, they're both like really big and rich and famous.

That it makes no sense.

No, it's incorrect.

Like, I don't, I don't need proof.

I just know in my soul it's not happening.

It's like, you ever watch Are You the One?

Yeah, we watched in.

It's not a perfect match.

If they went to the truth booth,

it would be an X.

It would be an X, 100%.

Ugh, bring back.

Are you the one?

Totally.

Subset B of this category of young Hollywood dating rumors.

Chase Stokes and Kelsey Ballerini are rumored to be dating, and she's giving a cryptic response to the rumors on her TikTok that I sent you this morning.

Yeah.

She's not stoked about the rumors.

Kelsey Ballerini gave a cryptic response to recent speculation that she's dating Outer Bank star Chase Stokes.

Well, actually, this article is entirely misleading.

Her comment actually had nothing to do with the rumors that she's dating Chase Stokes.

It had to do with something that was posted on Dumois about her.

No, about the rumors.

No, but the rumor she was referring to is about her trying to date the guy who runs Soho House in Asheville.

No, but like in the so it's a green screen of Kelsey on TikTok and it's Dumois screenshot.

And it's like the first thing is Chase Stokes's photo, Lil recap.

And it looks like him and a girl.

And then, so it's like about Chase and Kelsey.

I don't know what the other things say below no no no oh no no no that's not how i interpreted it at all she literally pointed to the dumois item um that hold on let me pull it up that

she was pointing to the whole screenshot not to a certain no because somebody wrote like the most moronic thing like how the fuck would you know that about kelsey ballerini and that's what she's commenting on she's consistently there she said kelsey ballerini can't be dating chase jokes because she's too busy consistently asking out the manager of soha house nashville when she comes in all the time.

Like, how do you know that?

First of all, second of all, what she's saying is like, this rumor is moronic.

She's not even commenting on the Chase thing.

Chase puts in a photo of them and they appear to be like maybe kissing under this hat.

Like, they're definitely seeing each other and that's cute and that's great.

Got it.

I thought she was like saying like the whole thing and the rumors.

And then her response, what she said in the TikTok is, I know, I know, I know.

Stop reading, stop reading, stop looking.

But what is happening, guys?

What?

Let's not do this.

And then she captioned the video.

I'm about to break up with the internet five sure.

Yeah.

She was talking about that really random blind item somebody submitted to Dumois that she's like desperately trying to go out with the manager of Soho House Nashville.

Got it.

Okay.

So if what Claudia is saying, then she's saying no to that, but leaving open that she is dating Chase Stokes.

I thought she was just like rolling her eyes at the whole internet, like with their rumors about her.

And she wasn't confirming or denying anything, just like look at this no because honestly the chase stokes thing isn't a rumor like nobody was thinking anything until he posted a photo so like they're basically like announcing like we're seeing each other we're hanging out let me go look at the photo that he posted and also apparently they were flirting on instagram like comments with each other cute yeah and then they went i think to the tcu georgia game they sat together and somebody snapped a photo of them from the back she's under his hat i think maybe they're like kissing and he tagged tagged her.

He tagged her and posted it.

Like he's sharing the potential new relationship.

It's not rumors.

It's that's a hard launch.

Yeah, nobody would have known.

That's a hard launch.

That's what the kids call it.

Yeah.

Not soft.

Soft would have been no tag.

No tag, right.

So

this is different from the Selena thing.

Selena thing is purely speculation.

We have no proof.

Literally, Chase Stokes, no one was thinking these two were anything until he literally posted a photo.

photo, and everyone was like, Wait, what?

This is so random.

I'm obsessed.

I ship.

Yeah, let's discuss now.

I definitely ship.

I think it's actually a really good pairing.

Yeah.

I don't know why.

Maybe because he plays a high schooler on television.

I would have assumed he was much younger, but I think they're this is the same exact age.

The only thing I'll say is that she was duetting with Gavin DeGras this weekend.

And

my ship lies in that port.

Um,

I could, you know, take a break, a little little yacht trip on the Chase Stokes Kelsey one, but like down to the OBX.

Yeah, I do reside and I own a ship of Kelsey and Gavin.

Like, when will it be Gavin's turn?

Such an important question.

I like when I feel like it was Gavin's turn, like early 2000s, and like that was the time when he was like fresh on the scene.

Everyone was obsessed with his music.

One Tree Hill, but like, was he dating a lot of young starlets?

Was he even, for lack of a better term, popping puss?

I have to imagine.

I hope.

I do think so.

Like the early 2000s were crazy.

He was literally like the biggest thing on the music scene.

Definitely.

He was definitely catching puss.

Okay.

I hope so at least.

And I hope that he has love now and is just being low-key.

But according to Google, like there's nothing.

Maybe like Chase is just like a rebound, you know, post-divorce, having fun relationship.

And Gavin's the guy who like you don't see at first.

He helps you through the dark time.

And then like when all is said and done and you're ready to settle down and get serious, you realize that love has been in front of you the entire time.

A hundred percent.

Like I saw her performing with him too.

It looked amazing.

It's amazing.

And they're both like so musical.

They both seem like really nice down to people.

And I think when your life is so musical, it's important to have a partner who shares that musicality.

I could not agree more.

Like for you, like you and Ben are both really musical.

We're both, I mean, like Ben's not as talented as me, but it's probably better that way.

No, but he like loves music.

Yeah, he does.

And could you be with someone who like didn't love, have a love of music like you?

I could actually, because like I find that when Ben sings, like I find it annoying.

Yeah.

Like I almost, I almost wish he wasn't musical.

Just like shut the fuck up and listen to me.

I guess that, but it also puts people in constant competition with one another.

And I feel like with after Morgan, she's like, no more musicians.

No more competition, because I do think like her success and his like, you know, kind of failure to launch a little bit definitely Had an impact on their marriage.

It couldn't have been easy.

No, it couldn't have been.

And that's why she's

hosting CMA awards, like bell of the ball at everything country music.

And I think he had a hard, really hard time being recognized just like as a soloist.

Yeah, but the thing is, he is really talented.

So it must also like be frustrating.

I could see their fights being like, well, you're not a real artist.

Yeah.

No, totally.

I will say Morgan Evans, Kelsey Vallerini's ex-husband, is genuinely one of the most talented country music artists.

Yeah.

His first album.

That makes it worse.

That makes it worse.

That makes it worse.

Yeah.

You know, at least if he were like playing at music, he could be like happy for his wife.

But when it's like, that should be me hosting CMA.

So true.

That should be me playing Gavin deGras.

100%.

Okay, I'm glad we got to the bottom of that.

So I feel like now she's like, actor.

Yes, somebody else.

Actor.

Somebody else.

And Chase Stokes seems like a good guy.

Yeah, really nice.

Ben actually knows him.

He's a lovely, lovely fella.

I get good vibes, not like Austin Butler.

No, negative vibes.

Our next story is some more relationship drama because Miley Cyrus dropped a song on Friday called Flowers and it is definitely about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.

And there's a lot of tea in the song and then subsequent tea that's like rumored to be more crap about the song.

But basically, the song is like a play on Bruno Mars's When I Was Your Man, and I don't get why we have to bring Bruno into this and trash his beautiful song.

But because

Liam Hemsworth dedicated that song to Miley at their wedding, yes, yes.

No, I understand it was like their song, but now she's just like repping apart Bruno's lyrics.

Yeah, and it's like, okay, so everyone knows the Bruno Lamar song.

If you don't, Claudia, do you want to grace us with it?

Do you want me?

I know it hurts.

I'll be the first

to say that I was wrong.

Oh,

I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.

But I just want you to know:

I hope he buys you flowers

and holds your hand.

Gives you all his hours

when he has the chance.

Take you to every party because I remember how much he loved to dance.

Do all the things I should have done

when I was your man.

It's really such a sad song.

It is.

It's about all his regrets.

And so Miley is literally going in the chorus word for word and trashing Bruno's lyrics.

So Bruno says, I hope he buys you flowers.

She says, I can buy myself flowers.

And he says, I hope I should flow.

And hold your hand.

and she said she can write my name in the sand and talk to myself for hours say things you don't understand

shady

and then should have taken you dancing she said i could take myself dancing and i can hold my own hand yeah i can love me better than you can so i just want to say and i realize how this sounds coming from the mouth of like a taylor swift stan apologist but like enough with this breakup like it's been years

okay but she's not like really spoken out about it and i feel like actually actually she has.

I'm over it.

No, when I think about why did Miley and Liam divorce after like 10 years of this like gorgeous courtship, it's literally a Nicola Sparks novel.

I don't have an answer.

But now with this, like things are coming out.

So first of all, obviously like she's like trashing him to filth.

And then people are saying like he cheated on her with 14 women in the house where she shot the music video.

In the video, she's wearing a suit at one point.

And people are saying it's the suit that he wore to the Avengers premiere when he told her to like stop to down.

So the Avengers premiere is yeah like I know about that.

Did you know about that?

Yes, I did.

The clips are like constantly going viral.

Miley was just like having fun at this Avengers premiere like being her crazy wild self like taking pictures out, sticking her tongue out, like grinding on Liam.

And when they're doing interviews and when they're taking pictures, there's like a couple moments where he like literally grabs her and is like, stop.

behave yourself.

Like you'll pay for this later.

Like people read his lips.

He's like, he's not into Miley's like free-spirited attitude whatsoever.

I hadn't seen that.

And even if the lip reading is a little off, like you see what happens.

She's like being her crazy kooky self.

He says something to kind of like bring her down.

Her face kind of falls for one second and then she picks it back up and she pushes him aside and she does her own pictures.

Like it really is kind of a beautiful moment for Miley.

And it's like Miley takes no shit, but you could tell that it bothered her, obviously, because she's a fucking human being.

And that's rude.

No, it's rude to be like that positive, fun person.

Like sometimes, you know, like I'm a loud person.

They're like, you're being so loud.

Like I'm just having fun.

Fuck off.

Yeah.

Imagine if Ben said that to you at a party.

Like, can't you just behave yourself for once?

Oh my God.

The way his neck would be slit.

Like, right.

So that just, like, made me sad and made me obviously realize there was bigger things.

And sure, maybe Miley's personality and out thereness isn't for everyone.

But like, you chose to marry this girl.

Like, take her as she is or what are you doing there?

A hundred percent.

Like, he was definitely trying to make her into like the type of wife.

He wanted not the type of wife that she was.

But like, I don't think she ever lied about who she was.

Like, we all, I could have told him.

No, 100%.

She's a

spirit.

Bro, did you see the bangers tour?

Did you see Miley Cyrus and her dead pets?

Like, she's a free-spirited girly.

What did you think you were going to get?

So

I'm not obsessed with this song, like, at all.

I like it.

The first time I heard it, I was like, okay, it doesn't feel like a single bop to me.

It's like something I would hear on an album.

But then after listening to the lyrics more and the when I was your man thing and like that, the fact that there's like a lot of meaning.

It's not just like a song someone else wrote for her.

I'm really into it.

I feel like it's, it's good.

I like it.

And then Snitch liked it.

So that made me like it more.

For me, like the song that Miley released where she addresses the Liam thing that's better is Slide.

Like I love that song.

Okay, cool.

It's more like the era I'm comfortable in when it comes to Miley.

Okay.

I'm glad you're comfortable.

Yeah.

But I think the song is doing really well.

It's all over TikTok.

Yeah.

And like, I'm, I'm happy for her, especially if she has you know things she needs to process from her marriage

i never really think of her as a divorcee but she is me neither but they were they were together for so long but they were not married for so long right but like still she has an ex-husband and she wants to talk about him it's literally so chic to have an ex-husband like

could be you but like i don't want it to be like i do wish i just had like had married someone before ben like some loser because i don't want to divorce ben i love ben but like i kind of want an ex-husband.

Like it's kind of like a Birkin.

Like it's a fabulous accessory.

Yes.

You know what you could do, which could even be more fabulous if you divorce Ben and then remarry him.

It's like very Elizabeth Taylor.

But I'm not a divorcee then.

You're not.

No, like I wouldn't consider Nini Leaks a divorcee, like even though her and Greg literally got divorced and then got married again.

Okay.

And I like the creative angle, but like I'm definitely looking for like Like I just want to be like a woman who has like, you know, previous lives, you know?

But like I've literally like live in the same city.

I've lived in my life i'm sorry you'll never be that mysterious because we do this podcast every single day no but like maybe like before i started the podcast like i had this whole other life where i was like chain smoking cigarettes when you were marrying men when you were 12.

i know we started podcasting when i was like literally 21.

um but still like i just i yearn for like a sexy mysterious past and then like i'm in france like you know on vacation and i run into my ex-husband and it's just like you're you know you'll say to me like who is that i'm like that's my ex-husband and it's like will they won't they it's a parisian vacation we won't like we've really moved on and we like kind of see each other for what each other was which was just like this young moment in time kind of vast moment in time um but i could just you know turn to my parisian friends when they ask who that is they say it's my ex-husband you know okay but Now think of it differently.

Like you could be in the era right now where like this will one day be your mysterious past where like she was a podcaster at the top of the charts.

Then where did she go?

She's in Paris with her new husband.

Ben Jamin.

Like, like, I don't, like, I don't see it that way, but I really, you're so positive today.

And I, I don't want to discourage that.

Like,

this could be the first chapter.

And it's a pretty strong one.

Like, she's famous.

She's like with Leo, but she stays with her husband.

Like, you know, she could have

James Marsden, but she chooses Ben.

And then, like, what happens next?

It could get crazy from here.

No, I love, like, I love that.

Yeah, think about it.

But still, you, the the same problem poses where it's like, if you want to be interesting, you got to leave then.

I know, and I won't, but I just feel like there are actually a lot of people perhaps listening to the show who are divorced.

And it's like, they feel like it's a scarlet letter.

And I'm here to tell you, like, it's fabulous.

It's fabulous.

It's chic.

It's giving like, I don't know why.

Like, when I think of like my ex-husband, like, I think of like skinny girls chain smoking cigarettes with big Birken bags that like they beat up because they have so many Birken bags, they don't need to like treat them well.

Yeah.

And when you say it like that, instead of talking about like your ex, be like, my ex-husband.

Yeah.

Like, oh, who's that over there?

Oh, that's my ex-husband and his new wife.

Yeah.

Just say it like that.

It changes everything.

Like, life is all about perspective.

So you could either see an ex-husband as like this, this like mistake or regret, or you could see it as this accessory.

And I'm telling you, if you look at divorce as like an accessory and just kind of like a fun fact on the resume of your life, I don't think you'll regret it.

That's beautiful, Claudia.

Thank you.

Our next story: Prince Harry's making history.

His memoir, Spare, sets the record as the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time.

Prince Harry's tell-all

memoir, Spare, has shattered the record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.

The Duke of Sussex's revelatory account of the royal family and his personal life sold a whopping 1.43 million copies during its first day on sale in the UK, U.S., and Canada, according to Guinness World Records.

Harry's book sales blew away the former record holder, which was former President Barack Obama, who sold 887,000 copies on his release day.

That's wild.

And then I thought it was interesting.

The hot most fiction, so that was like for non-fiction, but for fiction, the other Harry holds the record.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.

Guess how many?

And on its first day.

Guess.

Deathly Hollows, that was like the last one, right?

You're asking the wrong person.

2 million.

8.3 million.

On its first day, that's 345,833 books per hour.

You have to see a canceled queen out there doing her thing.

Yeah.

Crazy numbers.

So it's Harry v.

Harry.

That's actually very interesting.

I don't really care,

But I'm glad you brought this up because I want to talk about we got like a lot of backlash on our last episode talking about Prince Harry's book.

Like, you guys didn't even read it.

Who

backlash?

I just, I just want to say, like, if you left a comment like that, like, shut the fuck up.

I'm not reading this dumbass book because you told me to.

I like am protecting my peace.

How can you talk about a book you didn't even read?

Open a fucking newspaper.

And that's what everyone's doing.

Nobody's actually read this book, moron.

So I just wanted to say that because I was like reading these comments.

I'm like, my God, people people are so dumb, they're so ugly and stupid.

And I just really wanted to say that.

No, but I thought I said a number of times, maybe I need to say it again.

One, like, we were reacting to the headlines about the revelations from the book, and even when we would read quotes from the book, I said a number of times, I don't want to be a broken record.

And I said, But maybe in the context of the book, like there's a different vibe, but like, this is the poll quote.

But again, if I read the book, I might come out with a different takeaway.

Like, I feel like I said that, which is extra

extra, like Epsur, that's the thing about anything, like everything requires context.

But at the end of the day, like here's what he's revealing.

That's like straight facts.

Maybe it's part of a larger message that wasn't included in the article.

But like, here's a little juicy story about Kate and Megan.

And we're going to, and we're going to do with that what we will.

And like you guys can chill.

I feel like the Prince Harry like stands think that like Prince Harry is going to come and like lick their vaginas.

Like he's not listening.

Like you don't have to defend him so much.

Chill out.

He's not going to fuck you.

Like chill.

He loves his wife Megan.

Yeah.

he loves her.

Maybe you should read the book.

You would know that if you read the book, he loves his wife, I think, more than any husband has ever loved.

Yeah.

No, and the thing is, like, the excerpts are all over the internet.

So, you're telling me, unless we've read the book, we're not allowed to talk about it.

This is a free country, bitch.

The First Amendment is freedom of speech, bitch.

I think.

Is that number one?

Mm-hmm.

Freedom of expression.

So, like, shut up.

Like, I'm so dumb with people telling me like what I'm doing wrong.

Like, shut up.

this is my motherfucking podcast go away and hope and thinking that you might change what you're doing oh

so-and-so said so because Prince Harry Stan 801 said I can't talk about it since I didn't read the book so I'm not like shut up I'm so done like seriously fuck off like literally go away ugly rat

agreed but I did want to talk about this sales number because it's huge.

No, it's huge.

I oh wait.

And then like people were like like I'm sorry When it comes to Prince Harry, people are not fucking okay.

And I know that a lot of people feel very defensive of Megan Markle.

And I really do understand that.

I don't understand this like obsession with Prince Harry.

Like, chill.

He's not even from this country.

He doesn't like you.

Shut up.

But people were saying, like, because you, and we were saying the other week, and I do really believe that this is true.

Like, the American sentiment, I believe, towards Harry has definitely shifted in the last couple of weeks.

Like, the constant press, the constant like excerpts, the interviews, it's really started to rub people the wrong way.

I think even people who supported him.

And so when this number came out, you know, people are like, well, Claudia and Jackie said that like they said that like Americans like don't like Harry anymore.

But like this number is like obviously like not indicative of that.

Actually, I disagree.

Like you could still hate someone and buy their book.

100%.

I had very high book sales.

To me, it shows how much people just care about the royal family in general.

Like we've never gotten a memoir from a high-ranking member of the royal family.

Like

purchasing.

And like there's so much royalty in it it's like you really have to if you care at all like of course you're gonna read this book why wouldn't you unless you i don't know i mean i guess i do care maybe i will read it eventually um but i'll see like what what people who i know think about it like i'll take a recommendation if someone that i know is like oh my god someone you respect yeah yeah like i've seen some people that i follow reading it so i might just be like what do you think like is it worth reading or not

i um my next memoir is gonna be mini kaling's i've heard they're incredible that's perfect for for you.

Yeah.

I think actually I'm going to do another nonfiction after this as a follow-up to Demon Copperhead about similar subject matter because now I'm invested.

Yeah, of course.

Anyway, so I think this, I mean, I expected the book to do well, obviously.

I didn't think it would be the number one nonfiction book of all time.

And that's pretty cool.

He must be extremely pleased with himself.

And Penguin Random House must be happy too.

No, this was a major success on all fronts, depending on what your barometer for success is.

Like if if it's about

money and sales yes if it's about you know public self-respect but like honestly we at a number like this like it kind of trumps self-respect like because now it makes it worth it like all that you put out there about your penis and your family like the ways you dragged everyone in your life it makes it worth it i think it does like because that you hold your guines book world record holder congratulations yeah not everyone can do that no

and that's a big achievement well actually I'd be curious to know.

That is a big achievement, but I would want to know the highest non-fiction book of all time because, like, some, you know, unknown authors, they don't have a big first day of sales, but they could write an amazing book that like people just keep and keep buying.

So you're just going to Google that.

I mean, Colleen Hoover.

Right.

She didn't sell a lot on her first day.

On her first day, week of.

No, her books popped off years later.

Yeah.

Okay.

The oh no.

These are like editorial, the best ones.

I said most popular.

Well, the Bible.

Literally.

How many did they sell on Grisham?

John Grisham.

How much?

That's not non-fiction.

Oh, we're thinking.

Well, and I'm also curious, what did

Jeanette McCurdy do?

Because she was breaking sales, selling out on Amazon, too.

Yeah.

Second printing, the whole thing.

But I want like first day versus all time.

Right.

Okay, this is going to require more research because it's like best.

And I didn't say best.

I don't care what you thought was the best one because obviously it would be a good book by Jessica Simpson.

Obviously.

Really happy for Harry.

Megan has been so quiet.

Wonder what's going through her mind.

I think, well, one, it's Harry's moment.

So I think she's letting her husband have his moment, and it's not a spotlight that she's dying to be under.

Because it's, you know,

touch and go.

It's not the most flattering light, I'm going to be honest.

No, it's fluorescent.

Yeah.

Are you ready for the fifth and final story?

Yes.

Which is a little exciting sports marketing celebrity news.

It's a triple threat.

Okay.

The NBC Olympics logo for 2024 Paris Games has been unveiled with Paris Hilton's help.

She is the face of their Paris Olympics 2024 campaign so far.

They put out a little teaser video of like Paris for the Summer Olympics, and it's starring her, like

the other Paris.

What is the logo?

Oh, it's just, you know, fancy rings.

Rings with like a cursive pretty font.

It's less so, I mean, the logo, they think we care, but it's really about the fact that they tapped parasols into the like the face of their NBC Paris Olympics coverage.

And I think it's so smart, and I'm shocked that this made it through all the hoops.

Tell me about the Paris Olympics.

Is it winter or summer?

Summer.

When is it?

Summer 2024.

That's an along the way.

Did they unveil a logo a year and a half prior?

That's a really far time away.

Like, not them trying to get hyped up for the Olympics.

It's literally in 18 months.

Literally, I thought it was going to be this summer.

I thought it was going to, I assumed it was 2020.

I didn't think about when 2024 is.

Anything

like literally so much can happen.

Oh my God, okay.

We always say that, but then the Olympics just like sneak up on us and then they're here.

Don't you find that?

I do feel like it's been a long time since the last Olympics.

We just had like a turnt Olympics.

Like a year ago.

Like

a year ago is winter.

Yeah.

Less than yeah.

I'm ready for the Olympics.

Like one thing about me,

I fucking love the Olympics.

No, I'm going to put an asterisk.

I'm ready for a fabulous Olympics because we've had a couple of forlorn Olympic sees, plus with COVID and then like the families couldn't come it was just like fucking depressing and they were in places where they like have to bring in snow and it's like why would you get the olympics if you don't even have snow but I think Paris summer summer maybe I'll go

That could be Claudia and Paris, except like that's really not a way to see a city when it's at its max capacity.

No, definitely not.

But I agree.

The summer Olympics are so fabulous and Paris is such a fabulous city.

And we got the gymnastics and the swimming.

I mean, like, I'm annoyed that we're talking about this because I wouldn't have thought about the Olympics otherwise.

And now I'm just like excited for something that's literally not for a year and a half.

Well, you could watch a commercial and get like, just be happy to see that commercial and that like Paris is working with NBC and NBC respects the hell out of Paris.

Well, they do.

I mean, Paris's show is Peacock.

That's true.

It's Peacock.

And Kathy's on Bravo.

Housewise.

Yeah.

No, they've actually weirdly become like a big part of the NBC Universal brand in the last couple of years.

Yeah.

That was also like, did you see that Paris was becoming the face of Hilton hotels?

I mean, it's high time.

Like, the way that the brand is so synonymous with the family, and the family has not been involved in the brand, like in a financial way, in years.

Like, Rick sold it years ago.

So, they put her in the commercial for Hilton Hotels, and I thought that was so smart.

As they should.

And I know when she travels, like, she'll stay at a lot of the really nice international Hiltons, and I'm sure she gets it for free, and she's always tagging.

But, like, their partnership should be more

robust.

I think Waldorf Astoria owns Hilton.

So, yes.

I'm sure she stays at the Waldorf.

I think Hilton owns Waldorf Astoria, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, which one's the bigger?

Hilton is.

No, but which one?

Oh, yeah, because I guess then you're Hilton rewards when you stay at Hilton.

Hilton honors.

Yes, exactly.

That's how you know who the head honcho is.

Exactly.

Like how Marriott owns Ritz Carlton.

Waldorf is positioned as the flagship brand within Hilton's portfolio.

Yeah, owned by Hilton.

Great.

Yeah.

So love that for Paris.

Love to see, you know, our girly out here shaking her thing.

Mm-hmm.

And.

And summer 2024 can't come fast enough.

Paris can't come fast enough.

100%.

So those are the past five.

You definitely needed to know most.

I wouldn't say all.

Which ones would you say you didn't need to know, honestly?

Like that last one.

You haven't seen the video yet.

Maybe, maybe that's it.

But like, you know,

it's so far away.

Like a story about a video that we can't, like, play on the show.

Like, you know.

Oh, I disagree.

I think

the news was that, like, Paris is getting the respect that she deserves.

So good.

So good.

That's our show, y'all.

Nice long one for you.

Catching up from the weekend.

We're back to Murray.
