S5 Ep115: TNN: We'll Get You To 5 O'Clock: Friday, August 19th, 2022

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast and happy

Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Striday.

Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend, Friday, Friday, getting down on Striday.

Hello, everyone.

Happy Friday, or should we say happy Striday from Jackson, Claude, and Brass, and Strass.

The four four of us are here to kick off the weekend with just like a gorgeous energy.

The gang's all here.

I actually feel as though we need to start, you know, giving credit to the Strice Brothers.

Like, this is a four-person podcast.

Yeah, no, we need four microphones.

We need four microphones.

We need everyone on the artwork.

We need new artwork, but in due time.

Yeah.

I was just thinking, because I realized it was Friday, but I didn't have that typical feeling of like, yes, it's Friday.

Like, we made it because this week has just been so pleasant because you're here and every day is just like not as strenuous as the days before.

I was just going to say that like, I'm like, not even like excited that it's Friday because that means like I'm leaving on Sunday.

Like that means the final part, the final installment of my trip here is coming.

And honestly, like I'm not down.

And I'm wondering if even when you're gone and I'm just like podcasting from home, if Fridays are going to hit the same as they used to because I'm just leading a more peaceful life.

I think eventually like when you get into like a when you really actually live here, like you like for sure live here.

Yeah, the daily grind.

You'll get back to like that week.

Everyone, you always say the great equalizer is the week.

So even people who live in the suburbs, you know?

Yeah, that's true.

Plus on the weekends, they do get to sleep in and that's.

Next level.

Even if everything else about the day is pretty much the same.

So am I

always going to be my personal favorite pastime?

Speaking of sleeping in, I have to tell you, I'm two days in a row of having full blackout sleep here.

Like, you know, the nights where you just are uninterrupted.

Like you close your eyes and you open them and then it's your alarm.

Like it's so, I barely get, like, rarely get it at home.

I'm here two nights in a row.

I think it has a lot to do with the peaceful energy you've cultivated, but also a lot to do with the fact that on Wednesday night I got two hours of sleep.

I think it's more so the first one because sometimes when you, even though you got two hours of sleep, like that doesn't guarantee that the next night you're going to sleep really good, like you could be in a really bad pattern.

So true.

But we're breaking the cycle.

We are breaking.

It ends with us.

Like we're breaking the cycle.

So I just wanted to say like kudos to you.

Ben is loving the bed like he would.

And he's so, you think I'm particular and difficult to host?

Ben could find fault in like a Michelin star restaurant and he has.

Like

he has a really hard time getting compliments.

He's extremely particular.

And he's made multiple comments without even me prodding like, how great is this bed?

He picks up like, oh, this bed.

And he's, I can't really stress.

Like he's fucking judgmental, not me, bitch.

Well, I'm so glad.

And What about Theo?

He's really like, he's Ebert and Roper.

He's the critic that you want to please.

Theo's really like a love who you're with, love where you are kind of guy.

Like I wish I had that kind of spirit.

He's very much happy with what he's given.

He doesn't know luxury from standard.

He's really kind of

reached a level of like equilibrium and peace with the world, which is.

what we should all be striving for.

I'm super far from that.

So he could be happy anywhere.

So no offense.

Like his seal means nothing.

I think he's extra happy here because not only does he have everything that he needs, he has his cousins and he has his auntie.

And I feel like he's having a good time, even though he's like that grumpy old man walking around saying, what are you kids up to?

He's Squidward.

Yes.

And Bruno and Magnolia are Patrick and SpongeBob.

Bruno is SpongeBob.

There's never been a better comparison.

Magnolia is Patrick.

Is Patrick.

He feels like a combo of Squidward and Mr.

Krabs because he's like in charge, but he's also like a boring old man.

Yeah, he gives Squidward sometimes and he's still, even Squidward is having a good time.

That's how you know shit is rocking when Squidward is smiling.

I forgot what we should have named them.

Imagine.

Squidward's kind of a cute name, actually.

Yeah.

Well, that's the interesting thing.

When we do meet and greets, so many people bring their dogs, and it's so interesting to see what people name their dogs.

Yeah.

What did that, what was the name that we were like, was it popcorn?

No.

There was Snorkel.

There were so many, snorkel, thank you.

There were so many dogs at the meet and greet.

And I'm always just interested to see what people name their dogs.

Yeah, I had such a bad dream about Bryce.

I know.

You told me.

Do you want to talk about it?

He's so realistic.

And in the dream, I do this thing in my dreams where I'm like, this is probably a dream.

Like, let's get out.

Let's go to the next one.

Escape.

And sometimes I'm in such a deep sleep, I can't get out of it.

I'm like, let me out.

It's mental warfare.

I just have to trust the process and know that I will wake up and Bryce will be right there.

And know that you'll grow where you're planted.

Bloom where you're planted.

Yes.

I hope you will.

I hope you will.

I'm sorry that you've been through that.

I've been through that many times in many nights.

And there's really nothing,

nothing that can prepare you for like a dream that's so reality that is your worst fears come to life, you know?

My angel Bryce.

I know.

He didn't deserve that.

No.

And you know, in the dream, whose fault it was?

Mine.

Aramie's.

No, it was mine for shopping at Aramis.

Yeah, Jackie's like dreaming of purchasing Birkins in the store and Bryce gets.

It was like taking a really long time.

You know, when you go shopping at like a really nice store and you're like, I'm going to buy this bag, like, please take my money.

And then it's like you sit there for 30 minutes while they package it up.

It's like.

I'm trying to give you my money.

Yeah, no, I think they like luxury shopping.

They try and make it like an experience.

They offer you shipping and i just want to get the fuck out of it a good experience is getting back to my bed so don't like even make me sit on this tiny little hard couch for me like bring out a receipt on a silver tray like if you're waiting for the tray because you guys only have one and someone else is using it like just bring me the receipt crumple the receipt up and put it in the bag like i just want to go i think

i found what i'm looking for so that's what was happening in my dream i was buying a birkin and it was taking like 45 minutes to get it and i was just like what am i doing you know you're sick like that's what you dream of buying birkins like you're mentally ill well there was other things going on too for sure There were.

In dreams, you know, things don't really make sense.

So it wasn't like buying a Birkin outright.

There was other things happening too.

Maybe the,

let's try and extrapolate like a message from the dream.

You're buying a Birkin, it's taking too long.

You're like so busy that you forget to take care of your dog and your dog runs out in the street and Chashashalom, God forbid, gets hit by a car.

What does that say?

Where are your priorities?

Maybe it's a...

It's a statement.

No, I think it was like a fear and like a warning.

Not that I think my priorities are out of order currently, but there's a lot going on.

Don't let them get out of order.

Yeah.

Or don't let your love for Bryce like slip through the cracks.

Like now you have a full-blown child.

My love for Bryce slip through the cracks.

Look what could happen.

Even though it literally has not, I like my love for Bryce is just so stronger.

Seeing him as a brother, a cousin, a boyfriend, a son, it's one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed.

Yeah.

So I don't really know what the message was because I couldn't love this boy more.

I couldn't give him like more love and attention.

And no, it's true.

Like I thought thought your like priorities would definitely shift a little bit away from Bryce when you had a child, which is extremely normal.

They have not.

They have not wavered.

They have not closed.

They've got everything.

100%.

Everything.

You're LARPing just as much with Bryce as you do with Royal.

He goes in the stroller on the bottom.

He likes it there.

That's so cute.

He was chilling hard.

That's like usually when we go for walks, he cries.

If we're going for like a family walk, he's just like, this is not.

I don't know what this means.

You don't feel safe.

Yeah, I don't feel safe.

I feel unsure.

So we put him in the bottom of the stroller where you put like your stroller tings.

and he loved it sickening sickening so yeah

i'm sorry well while you were you know dreaming i was at a wedding last night which was just great for me scheduling wise to be here be able to podcast go to a wedding

i looked gorgeous i actually felt bad like you know stunting stunting on the bride no kidding she looked so pretty um i'm just tired weddings are so much work like on your feet on your posture like you always have to like you can't be slouching at a wedding no ew so i'm my body feels heavy i i need to go for a swim nice i took my first bath here last night that's crazy because i've literally taken four baths while i know you inspired me really because every night i'm like it's a long night i want to take a bath but then i'm like it's a long night i just want to shower and get a math i know so uh i did the bath and i um it was nice i'm happy for you it was nice it was also because i had a clog did you shower before or after nope wow look at you

I hate when people are like, yeah, I can only take a bath if I shower before or after.

I'm like, good for you.

We don't care.

Yeah.

No, if I'm like filthy, then I'm not going to take a bath.

I'm not going to do an Iron Man and then take a bath, you know?

Like,

I'm just like, I podcasted today.

Like,

I can take a bath without a shower.

Yes.

Well, today's a big day.

Let me tell you why.

It's Friday.

It's Friday.

Yep.

Yep.

Also, if you're a Patreon member, you know, we've been extremely annoying and on my Instagram teasing about this new TNN, new TNN, new TNN, big announcements, big things coming for TNN.

We've been like particularly annoying because we haven't given much.

No, I know.

And there are a lot of things coming up for TNN.

And one of them is finally here.

So we have a new show coming to TNN.

It is our first male show.

You know, we're really, we empower female voices, but we're open to all.

And we got so much great feedback from my episode with Josh Peck.

People were like, please, Josh Peck.

And we get so much feedback when Ben is on the podcast.

So they have decided to team up.

You know, they're really good friends.

That's how we actually know Josh.

And that's why he came on the show.

They're really good friends.

They have like same funny, like Jewish, chubby energy, even though Josh isn't chubby anymore.

And they've decided to do a show together.

It's called Good Guys because they are just like two good guys.

They are.

We were coming up with ideas.

I'm like, what's the vibe?

I'm like, you two are just like a bunch of good guys.

And they're like, good guys.

It's really like my idea.

And I'm talking.

So it is live now.

The first episode comes out on Monday.

They're going to be dropping episodes every Monday.

And you can get it where you get the toast, where you get your podcasts, anywhere, Amazon, Stitcher, Spotify, Apple, all the places.

Make sure to subscribe, give a rating, you know, help the charts.

I've listened to the first episode.

It's so funny.

They're really like,

they lead different lives, obviously, but like at their core, they're the same person.

It's so funny.

And the episode was so, so funny.

And I have a hard time listening to podcasts that like I'm not on.

I can't lie.

And it's really, like, I audibly cackled like four times.

It's so funny.

It's so good.

It's such a great idea.

They're going to have so much fun doing it.

And I feel like you guys are going to love it.

Yeah.

I think everyone loved Josh's episodes.

They love both.

So I think if you're a Josh girly, if you're a bunge girly, you're going to love the podcast.

So make sure to tune in every Monday.

And that's the big TNN mogul news.

You know what?

We were looking for a Friday segment.

What about mogul news?

Mogul news.

Yeah.

Not every week is going to be a new TNN show, but I do feel as though we're doing something mogul-y at least once a week.

Once a day.

Once a minute.

Who are we kidding?

So that's the big news of the day.

You heard it here first.

TMZ.

No comment, essentially.

My comment is, I'm so excited.

And I think everyone is just going to

really enjoy.

And that's what we do here at TNM.

We're just trying to get you through the day.

We're just trying to give you content that you're going to enjoy to make your day better, go by quicker, get you to lunchtime, get you to five o'clock.

Yeah.

So the more we can put out to get you to lunch, that's what we, that's like why I wake up in the morning.

I'm like, the girlies need.

content to hold them over while pretending to work.

And I'm glad, I mean, I'm so happy to be our own boss, love what we do, but I'm glad that we had that time in the corporate world to know what it's like to watch that clock, to know what it's like to just crave something to watch on YouTube, crave something to listen to.

It can be a dark place.

And then the commute, like it never ends.

It never ends.

You need so much content to get through the day.

And like, that's why we do what we do.

That is why we do what we do.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

So.

TNN.

Yeah, that's what we do.

We need like a slogan kind of how like, what have you got to lose?

TNN.

We'll get you to five o'clock.

Chills,

speechless.

I love that.

New logo.

We need to rebrand immediately.

We'll get you to five o'clock.

And the way you said it, too, we'll get you to five o'clock.

Love it.

Love it.

I mean, we should like come up with slogans for ourselves, considering we do it for like every brand.

And we should come up with a song for TNN.

Okay, how about this?

I have my slogan.

Claudia.

Claudia Ashre.

Tickets available at girlsnotjob.com/slash tour.

Oh, that's good.

Jackie Ozen Shazin.

Goosebumps.

No, we need to come up with a song for TNN.

We can't force these things, but just

keep it up in the back of your mind.

Yeah.

And that's our homework.

Okay.

Do we have a great show for them today?

We do.

I picked the stories because I was ready early.

Jackie was, you know, being a mom.

And they're not great.

I'm not going to lie to you.

And I saw the most...

I hate to like respond to comments, but like I saw the most annoying comment that really grind my gears.

Okay.

I guess there was like an episode this week where we were like, the stories are me.

People are like, well, if the the stories are me, why don't you just choose different ones?

Like, because the other ones were worse.

Yeah.

Where?

What's what?

Suggest do it.

Like, it was like, like, we're choosing bad stories intentionally.

Yeah.

No, some days like shit pops off.

Other days, not so much.

No, and like this weekend, I just know we're going to be, it's like Ben and Jen.

wedding bliss and like we're going to be inundated this weekend.

I'm curious to see who's going to be there.

I'm curious to see who's going to officiate, but I'm not curious anymore because I chose the story and then Jackie took it out.

So

just update everyone.

Jay Shetty, which, like, who cares?

I really didn't.

Did you know who that was before you read this story?

Yes.

Um, but the reason why I just wanted to talk about it, and I guess we are talking about it now is because he's a podcaster.

And that's just a win for podcasts.

Like, that was really all I was going to say.

I agree, but like, everyone is a podcaster now.

That, like, if you're not a podcaster first, I don't care.

That's like saying.

He is a podcaster first.

Okay, fine, fine.

And his podcast is like enormous.

It's up there with like armchair expert.

Yeah, but that's like being like Jason Bateman.

He's a podcaster.

That's a win for podcast.

Okay.

Well, that's okay.

Not Jay Shetty, but I'm just saying like now that everyone has a podcast.

No, I know what you're saying.

Jay Shetty is a professional by trade podcaster.

Okay, I love that.

Jason Bateman, that's interesting because he's definitely an actor, but he has like a top podcast too.

No, I know.

For a really long time.

Conin.

Shut.

There are certain celebrities who toe the line.

Dak Shepard.

Podcaster.

These days, yes, but.

Because he was never that big of an actor.

Like every real housewife has a podcast.

So it's not just being like.

No, there are certain people who I definitely, um, I think toe the line.

You just happen to name literally all three of them, Dak Shepard, Conan, and Jason Bateman.

Um, I still would say Jason Bateman is an actor.

I would say

because Dak Shepard was really never that big of a, an actor.

He was mostly like a professional husband.

His podcast is so big.

Like,

he's a podcaster.

Good for him, you know?

Yeah, he really crossed over.

He did.

But there are people who are famous podcasts, like us.

Yeah.

We are podcasters.

Yes.

100%.

but then there are famous people with podcasts that do really well then they start towing the line it's like are they a podcaster or an actor you know yeah it's always the actors get away from us like can we have one thing can we have one thing that was like that tim dylan podcast where he was talking about how everyone how everyone has a podcast and soon we're just gonna have to like go meet in the woods totally like the true podcasters true wait rpk real podcasters now

um but you know there's space for everyone we welcome all to the community.

Well,

we welcome all, but I don't know if there's space for everyone.

There is, because it's infinite.

You know, it's not like, it's not like TV where it's, there's only so many slots and so many channels.

Like, there could be infinite numbers of podcasts.

But yes, that's totally true.

But podcasting as an art form definitely weeds out the week.

I think everyone thinks like, I could talk for an hour once a week because most podcasts are weekly.

And then they start doing it.

And there's so many podcasts that start and never really finish.

So that is validating in a sense.

Like it's not something everyone can do.

Like,

and it's not that easy.

Agreed.

So many people started podcasts, especially in COVID.

And it's interesting to see who's still around.

Yeah, no, I like to watch the landscape shift.

I love to watch the landscape shift.

I'm a landscape watcher shifter.

Yeah, it's a beautiful view.

Life's a climb, but the view is great.

But the landscape of podcasting is shifting.

It's shifting evermore.

Okay, I think we could dive in, right?

I think that we could dive into the fast fact stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

How?

And today's episode is brought to you by Spritz Society.

End of summer?

We think not.

At Spritz Society, we're keeping the season going strong through Labor Day weekend.

Celebrate the endless summer by stocking up on all of the original flavors, grapefruit, blood orange, pineapple, and lemon, with our variety eight pack.

As you guys know, Jackie and I are co-founders of Spritz Society canned cocktails, really the only beverage you'll ever need, period.

Period.

And a Diet Coke, Coke, but

okay, and a Diet Coke.

And I guess like water to live, but whatever.

We launched with four flavors.

They were hopping off.

And then we just announced a fifth one, which is peach, which is kind of like taking over as the best one, just saying.

And so you can add the newest flavor peach to your cart, then get the variety pack, which has all four flavors, two of each cans, and you'll get the complete Spritz Society experience.

And of course, we have a code, a bigger and better code than yesterday ready.

Get ready for Labor Day weekend.

Use code LDW, as in Labor Day weekend, 2-0, 2-0 LDW 20 LDW 20 for 20% off all your orders of $85 or more.

Chars with code LDW20 for 20% off.

Great.

Thank you so much.

It's a pleasure.

Today's stories are in no particular order.

So just do it that way you will.

They're all, I actually like what you did with the stories.

Are you ready for our first story?

Very sad story that has been developing throughout the last two weeks, but Jacqueline Jacqueline Hill's ex-husband, John, passed away.

She said his death is the saddest, weirdest thing.

I just want to say, like, not to make light of, but it sounded like the way you pronounce it was that his last name was passed away.

You said John passed away.

Jaclyn Hill's husband passed away.

Yeah.

You said Jacqueline Hill's husband, John, passed away.

Oh.

Sorry.

Like, I know that's really inappropriate.

I didn't want to say that.

But I just was like, oh, I didn't know that was his last name.

Oh.

No, but it's Hill.

That's why her name is Jacqueline Hill.

Jaclyn Hill described her late ex-husband, John Hill's death and her grieving process as the quote saddest, weirdest thing, given they had been divorced for five years.

She said, quote, I'm at the point in my grieving process where I just have to trust it and see what happens every day.

Right now, I'm just kind of done sharing this with millions of people and I just kind of need some privacy on this subject.

Totally.

She said that although they had not been romantically involved for years, she and the drummer remained close.

She said, quote, we still kept in touch and talked.

Ugh, it's so much, you guys.

Trying to go through it publicly is just making it so much harder for me.

And do they have details in there about how he passed?

He, I believe, was struggling with addiction.

The autopsy results will take months.

The cause of death has been deferred pending further testing.

So I don't like follow Jacqueline Hill, but

a lot of people do.

And for a really long time, he was like a huge part of her content.

So it's definitely weird to like, and then he wasn't, you know, because they got divorced and like two people you were watching consistently, like one of them yet is just cut out of the story.

So I think it's like definitely challenging to grieve this way because like so many people felt like they knew him.

And it's also

together.

Right.

So then it's also challenging to grieve someone you were in love with, but aren't anymore.

Yeah.

And someone who like at one point was every minute of every day for you and now and hasn't been for five years.

And so she did a Q ⁇ A a little while ago, like maybe a couple of weeks.

And somebody had asked about John and she was like, you know,

No one's really heard from him.

And I think like when you're dealing with someone who is struggling with addiction, that's like never a good sign.

So this is just like a really sad story and one that's like difficult because so many people like like feel entitled to grieve him too and like want to grieve with her, but she just has to like protect her peace.

Yeah.

And she needs like her own time and space.

Yeah.

But also I think people want updates from her.

And it's like, this isn't your typical, I think grieving on social media is like.

especially not like we talked about Olivia Newton-John when it's someone that, you know, no, someone going through grief on social media.

Going through grief on social media about someone who was also also on social media with you at one point and then not.

Like there are so many different layers.

It's very complicated.

And her like navigating through it right now, I imagine is a whirlwind.

And like he's not really her family anymore.

So she has to respect his family's privacy, how they want it to be handled.

So it's like a really, it's a weird situation.

Yeah.

And I will say, I don't know a ton about Jaclyn Hill, but like what I do know.

about her peripherally just like she comes up on my tick tock a lot and now i think i actually follow her and then she had like a lot of scandal with her makeup line just everything I know about her actually makes me really like her me too um especially because I know she went through like a lot of physical changes online and people were so fucking mean to her um and she like handled it all with like a lot of grace which is like couldn't be me um so I just really like her even though I don't know like a ton about her yeah no anytime I like watched her videos over the years I really liked her I still use champagne pop every single day I forgot that's I'm wearing it right now even though it's been discontinued the one that I have has lasted me years like great fucking product Champagne Pop was like changed the beauty industry forever.

I'm wearing it right now.

It's a very good thing.

I wear a collab, right?

WECA-

And Jaclyn Hill.

And now Becca Cosmetics is

done, right?

Finished.

There's been a few makeup companies that

Bite Beauty just went.

Really?

Yeah.

But I mean, how can they not?

Yeah, Becca, you're right.

I remember we did a story in our old pink studio about it.

No, no, no.

In the...

Windows.

Oh, was it the windows?

I believe.

Well, with all these new, like, there's a new makeup company popping off every single day.

And there's really, it's not like podcasting.

There's not enough space.

My face is only so big to wear so many brands.

Sephora is only so big.

There can only be so many little, you know, it's finite.

It's not infinite.

There are only so many departments.

Yeah.

So I'm sorry.

And when it doesn't happen more.

Yeah.

When you go up against like the celebrities, every influencer, Jaclyn, and now Jaclyn Cosmetics, like after their first initial launch with the hairs on the lipstick, they got together.

I see people reviewing her products all the time.

And it apparently is very popular.

So there's just really not enough space.

I'm surprised it's just we hear not enough space because there's not enough face

you're with the slogans today slogomania slogi o sluggy o

so i'm wishing jacqueline the best i really like her yes me too and i hope that she like finds peace and is able to navigate it on social media and take the space on her own that she needs whatever she needs you know

Our next story is a kind of crazy beef between Amandla Stenberg and a film critic.

This is so weird.

I saw it on TikTok and I I was like, what the fuck is going on?

Okay, so Amandla Stenberg is slamming a film critic over the Bodies, Bodies, Bodies review and alleged DMs.

I'm going to take it from the top because I read it and there's a lot here.

A film critic shared a screenshot appearing to show a sternly worded message from actress Amandla Stenberg following a recent review of her film, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

After New York Times writer Lena Wilson reviewed Amandla's latest on-screen venture, A24's horror film Helmed by 20 Somethings, her Instagram DMs were seemingly hit with a message from the star herself, who plays Sophie.

Lena Wilson's review of the film, which also stars Maria Bakalova, Lee Pace, Rachel Sennett, and Pete Davidson, was somewhat negative, and it seems as though Amandla had some choice words for the writer.

The

woman wrote in her review, the only thing that really sets bodies, bodies, bodies apart is its place in the A24 height machine, where it doubles as a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage and Charlie XTX latest special.

So then the critic shared a screenshot of her DMs with allegedly a message from Amandla saying, quote, maybe if you had gotten your eyes off my tits, you could have watched the movie.

Then the critic tweeted alongside the screenshot saying, do you think she Instagram DM'd Allison Wilmore, Justin Chang, and Anthony Lang Lane like this or dot dot dot?

In a follow-up tweet, the critic claimed that Amanda's DM was somewhat homophobic.

She said, quote, always weird when the homophobia is coming from inside the house, house, but this is something.

I don't know if.

So then Amandla has responded.

Oh.

So Amanda's comment generated backlash after it was posted to Twitter by the critic.

But the actor said in her own Instagram video that she was just trying to be funny with her message.

She said, quote, I'm receiving a lot of commentary on the internet for being a very naughty girl and for sending a DM that I thought was hilarious.

There's a film critic and her name is Lena Wilson.

She described body, body, bodies, bodies, bodies as a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage, which I thought was hilarious.

I'm proud that a piece of work I was a part of was described as such in such a renowned publication.

I thought it was hilarious.

I thought because Lena is gay and I'm also gay, as gay people, we would both find this comment funny.

Wait,

is Amandala gaslighting us?

Like, yes,

yes.

I was also curious to know what Lena would say to such a statement.

Lena decided to publish it and also says that I am homophobic for saying that.

Okay, wait.

I did not see that Amanda had responded.

Um, and her response response is so confusing to me.

Yeah.

Because

the whole thing is like, first of all, the first

weird reads the movie.

No, no, not even that, but like part of putting out movies is getting reviewed by film critics.

It's not like, and then, and this is what the critic was saying.

It's like, plenty of people reviewed this movie and you only DM'd me.

Right.

Also, to like.

take a public review and then like DM someone personally is weird like she could have posted that right like so the whole whole, the whole exchange is weird.

And then the critic shared, you know, Amandala's message.

And I think then she, like, it seemed like Amandala was trying to shame the critic.

The critic then shamed Amandla.

Amanda's back to shaming the critic.

And it's like, we're all losing.

Wait, okay.

My take on the story was so different before I saw that she had responded.

And her response is giving like, it's gaslighting.

Like, what are you guys talking about?

I was being funny.

Well, like,

um, I do think, like,

Amanda's DM to her,

I don't necessarily think it was homophobic, but impact versus intent.

Like maybe the writer felt it was homophobic, but I don't think that's a good idea.

Well, I think also what the writer was trying to say is like she was the only like lesbian critic who got a message from Amandala.

That's why when she said like, why didn't she DM all these other people?

Yes.

Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

That's fair.

That's fair.

It just seems like

this is great press for the movie, so it's a win-win.

I agree.

This is not Amandala's first movie.

She's been acting since she was in Hunger Games when she was like eight.

And you're supposed to be immune to this stuff.

And not everyone is.

And that's fine.

This is like, I'm sure her PR team woke up in a tizzy because honestly, it doesn't make her look great.

Like privately messaging one critic, like, who cares?

You're a movie star.

Like, go to a red carpet.

Go be fabulous.

Who cares about some writer?

About some writer girl.

And I don't know.

I can't really, I don't know whose side I'm on.

Cause part of me is like, you know, in this climate, I don't, I think maybe the New York Times writer could see how like, maybe that wasn't the the most appropriate thing to say.

Like this movie's a 95-minute, you know,

advertisement for cleavage.

But when I read the critics like take, she was basically saying that nothing about Amandala's cleavage, but more so how A24 is known for exploiting young girls.

And it was a statement on that as opposed to like Amanda being promiscuous.

Right.

But then Amandala said in this second statement, she said, it's quite surprising the amount of commentary I receive on my boobs.

I wrote this tank top in this movie because me and the costume designer felt it fit the character well.

I do get tired of people talking about my chest.

There seems to be a lot of unwarranted conversation about my chest.

Well, now here is even more unwarranted conversation about your chest.

But anyways, what I'm just wanting to point out is that she wrote the tank top into the movie.

And I feel like it's the kind of movie where they're wearing the same outfit the whole time.

Right.

Like it's a horror movie.

It takes place in one night.

And so it's 95 minutes of everyone in the same outfit and she chose this tank top.

Well, that can be frustrating for a movie watcher.

Like, change your clothes.

Someone who like loves costume design.

Right, right.

I mean, this doesn't make me want to see the movie more or less.

I hadn't even heard about it, but Pete Davidson is in it.

So like maybe I will.

All in all, I don't really have a take here.

It sounds like a little bit of, you know, loser on loser crime.

Yeah.

Like everyone's coming out of this a loser.

And I, I really don't see anyone being particularly right or particularly wrong.

Amanda is definitely taking the L, I think, a little bit more because she, it's like this big, fancy movie star attacking this like little innocent writer.

Um, but again, like, I just don't care.

Yeah, she ended her statement with Lena.

I thought your review was hilarious.

I thought my DM was fun.

Oh my God, the gaslighting.

I thought my DM was funny.

I did not mean to harass you.

I do not wish you any harm.

You're allowed to have criticism on my work and I'm allowed to have my criticisms of your work.

I wish you the best.

So was it criticism of her work or was it funny?

I just think maybe it was a joke for Amanda, but like, I don't think they've ever met before.

You know, when you're sliding in with a meanie joke, like making fun of someone's work, like it's very easy to be misinterpreted.

No, for sure.

Especially when there's a power dynamic.

Like this is a big movie star with a, like a writer who she's never met.

Yeah.

Like you're not going to immediately think this big movie star after you just wrote a bad critique of her movie is sending you a message that's in a joking manner.

You would probably think of it's more as like in a mean manner.

Yeah.

I could see that this, like she meant it as a joke.

Like I could believe that, but I also could imagine receiving it and be like, yikes.

Yikes.

Yeah.

So yeah, I don't know.

I just think nothing good comes out of like reading reviews, honestly.

Like if I was an actor, I would never read reviews.

It's the same way like a lot of influencers like go out of their way never to check like those threads about them.

Like it's not good.

You got to protect your piece.

You did your best in this role.

And that's the best you could have done.

We're all just doing our best.

But here's some press for the movie that I personally hadn't heard of before.

Right.

So that's good.

And who knew 824 was like this controversial production company.

Do you know what it was?

Yeah.

Like I've seen their, you know, before movies and before trailers come out, it's always like searchlight.

You know, they, they'll show like the logos.

And I've seen 824 like a million times.

i think it's just like popular but i guess they have this reputation who knew okay but like they didn't choose the tank top that's so true she said that she did that's true so i guess they're not exploiting women young women in this scenario sense in this one yeah

okay are you ready for our next story

some things around just to keep it light Kylie Jenner reveals she almost had this caning.

So Kylie shared on TikTok, she did a trend that

people are sharing, like, my name is Blank, but I was almost named Blank.

Right.

So it's my name is Kylie, but it was almost Kennedy, which I find so surprising because it's so similar to Kendall.

True.

And they call Kendall Kenny.

True.

Maybe at the end of the day, that's why it wasn't, but I didn't even think of that.

I was just thinking, okay, so what if it was Kennedy cosmetics, Kennedy Jenner?

And I think her life would be the exact same.

Same thing.

I don't think it would have changed.

I think it would have been so cute and it wouldn't have changed anything.

Kennedy is a really cute name.

Of course, my mind goes to Kennedy Armstrong, Taylor Armstrong's daughter, because it's really the only Kennedy I know.

You know, it doesn't go to the Kennedys?

Not as a first name, no.

Oh.

Kennedy, like as a first name, is literally Taylor Armstrong's daughter who had a $60,000 birthday party.

Yeah.

And that's, I didn't, I didn't think about like what all the brands would be called.

Kennedy's skin.

No, there's something about Kylie being two syllables.

And then it was just a great name for Kyler, Kyliner.

I don't know what you could have done with Kennedy.

Yeah,

it's true.

So in an episode in the season finale of Kardashians,

Kim and was talking to Chris about like naming the girls that Kendall was almost called Juliet.

And then they talked about how she chose Kylie.

She said, Chris said, quote, we just kept saying Kendall and Sophia, Kendall and Jane, you know, trying to think what went with Kendall.

Oh, that's cute.

It was Kendall and, you know, Kelly.

Then when we got to Kendall and Kylie, we went, that's it.

Kendall and Kylie have to go together.

Oh, but I, okay, so I guess I was surprised that they would even entertain the name because it's so similar to Kendall, but now it's like, that's that's exactly why they entertained it.

Yeah.

Kendall and Kennedy.

That's cute too.

They were twins.

Yeah.

Sisters.

But you know, I feel like twins, especially when they're younger, like go through some sort of identity crisis of like having their own independence.

And if your name is literally one letter different, that makes that journey that much harder.

For sure.

And I used to feel like having twins was, you know, not.

Like, I wouldn't have wanted to have twins, but now like having, like being a mom and being pregnant, like it sounds like a dream.

Oh my God.

It's so much fun.

Their names have to work together.

It's so much fun.

Saves you five years of your life.

I would like to have Quinn Tuplets the first time.

Yeah.

Okay.

It'll be a rough thing.

Just from like the parent perspective, like I also think like I can now see it as a sibling.

Like if we were twin, like, and I just think the parents have to go out of their way to make sure like the kids have their own thing going on.

But I think like it could be grand slam for everyone.

I completely agree.

And then you have like a built-in best friend.

Yeah.

And of course there, I think there's some years in puberty where you go through a rough patch like hating your twin because it's like, God, I just want my own life.

And then the older you get, you are so appreciative that you've had this like partner through your whole life especially if you're watching like three identical strangers just like how biologically connected twins are triplets like it's just everything no i agree i used to be like oh my twins are everything i used to think like being a twin was like the worst thing like no i want to be my own person i would hate to be like grouped up no i think there's so many benefits i think literally like being born with a best friend and of course siblings are always best well they should ideally be no but like you're in the womb with someone you're in the crib with someone that warms.

I really three identical strangers really changed my perspective on it too.

Like how, you know, just biologically, how like impactful it is.

And, but I do think when it comes to twins, as you grow up, there's definitely some, you know, um, interesting scenarios that you get, get yourself in.

Like I always think like, and I think I asked Lauren Lane this because Chris Lane has an identical twin.

I'm like, do you ever like see the twin and be like, hot?

Because logically, you think this person's attractive.

So an identical twin, logically.

Could go for the same for a sibling that looks alike yeah but like looks alike is different than identical we all know twin have you seen chris lane's twin yeah but like i think there's always like a little bit of difference with twins so if like like a freckle if you have the one that you that like you love and you want thing you'll always think of like the other one is like the one that's a little different yeah i guess that's true that's true you know and then you could marry other twins and have biologically siblings

girls girls yeah no i think twins are great um i could have been good with kennedy jenner yeah but i'm glad we got Kylie.

She's such a Kylie.

And of course she is because that's her name and you bloom where you planted.

But

Kylie was the move.

Do you know what your name almost was?

No, I didn't have one of those.

You did.

I have a couple.

Yeah, Alexis.

Alexis, a little bit Alexis.

Could you guys see it?

Claudia?

Alexis and Claude.

I could see you being an Alexis.

No.

Like I could see your face.

Like it's not that far off is what I'm saying, but like you're Jackie O.

I'm Jackie O.

Yeah.

And then also almost Victoria, which I think I wouldn't have liked until last year.

Now that I'm obsessed with Victoria, I love the name, but I think it would have taken me a while to come to that.

I don't think I would like.

No, no, no, no.

Margo was almost Grace.

And I don't think me and Olivia had

backups.

I don't think so either.

What was Rolled almost?

Nothing.

He was like always Rolled, right?

No, he was almost wolf.

He was almost wolf.

Thank God not.

One, he's not a wolf.

And two, Kylie changed it.

Like, how embarrassing would that be?

Oh, my God.

You would have had to been like no i was kidding i would have had to like love the name so much that like it wasn't about kylie she just like threw it out there and i actually really do like the name just not for me like in any way shape or form but like for another go yeah

for mr blitzer for mr

the only person i know named wolf and uh tammy

uh that influencer has a kid named wolf oh the one who was friends with kylie and then thought that kylie stole her name yeah she's the one who like fainted at kylie's birthday party right and was never invited to another gala ever again

Speaking of galas, did you see, I thought this was such an interesting branding move.

The Kardashians like through an event like last night or the night before.

And it was an 818 investor dinner slash meeting.

So everyone who was there was an investor in 818.

And of course it was Kylie Kendall, everyone, Orlando Blue.

I saw him.

I saw Kim talking to him.

Jennifer Meyer Jewelry.

She was an investor.

She showed up, which I thought was like such a random.

but like good for her like get your coin um i thought that was like a cool way to market the brand a little bit with all the celebrities.

I just thought, I thought that was actually really smart and different.

Yeah.

Also, they came out with the 818 Reserve bottle.

I was watching a video of it on Chris's Instagram.

It looked so premium.

I actually wanted to get it for you.

I thought, seriously, I saw it and I thought it was a sculpture of a pair of tits at first.

It's very beautiful.

It's sculpt.

Like, it's different.

Yeah.

I think it, I mean, I don't drink tequila, but...

like it's a nice looking bottle.

I wonder how 818 is doing.

Yeah.

They work it hard.

They work it hard and

because of Kendall and because they had a ton of money behind it, they were able to like launch immediately and get into every store in every state, which is a liquor brand.

You have to go state by state.

It goes slow.

But getting in the stores is one thing.

Are people buying it in the stores?

I don't know.

I'm curious.

Yeah.

Because there was a lot of hype for it.

And I've tried it.

And I love the Kardashians and I love Tequila.

I won't go out of it.

Tequila is very personal.

more personal than comedy.

So to get someone to switch their like go-to brand is really difficult.

What, but like, if you're at a party and all they have is 818, like, are you happy, sad, indifferent?

Um

I'm not happy, but I'm not sad.

I was just like, oh, I'll drink it, but like I wish my brand was here.

What's your brand?

Casamigos.

Everyone has like a brand they feel safe with.

Yeah.

And that takes time.

And it takes like industry, like respect, you know?

Everyone's like, Casamigos, Casamigos.

And I tried it.

I was like, oh, well, if everyone loves it and it's good, I love it, you know?

So I think those things take time.

Got it.

But the branding is on fleek.

Yeah.

No, it really is.

And they do cute events and why not.

Though, wait, you saw for Kylie's birthday, they all went on a boat and that video went viral of Kim was like I want a shot which was crazy because Kim never drinks and then she took a shot and spit it out and she was like that's literally disgusting she's going through a breakup so she's taking shots and so everyone was like

818 818 and then Kim was like she tweeted I wish it was 818 but like how was it not 818 you know I don't know was Kendall there

I don't think so I think maybe she was actually but Chloe wasn't and Courtney wasn't but that's like so them everywhere they go they have all of their things I know, but like to be in a yacht, like that's a lot of tequila to have to ship.

And it's like just cargo.

And it's like, it's, it's possible that it wasn't.

I just feel like it was.

And I don't think that's a statement on 818.

If you don't drink, tequila, no matter the best, is disgusting.

Like, it's not coffee.

It's gross.

Like,

so even if you're drinking the best tequila in the world, if you're not someone who drinks, you're going to think, be like, it's gasoline.

So I don't think it's an indictment on 818 as a brand.

I think they all drink 818, you know, a lot of the time but i think kylie like drinks 41 42 yeah because the thing tequila is more personal than comedy but i think like just because she drinks 42 like doesn't mean she dislikes 818 like you can drink both obviously you know

but everyone has like a brand that they gravitate towards yeah and that's on the truth

Are you ready for our next story, which is the one that I swapped out for the Jay Shetty?

And I think you're going to really appreciate it.

Okay.

Because it's Friday, which means we're going down memory lane and talking about Hannah Montana.

Oh, oh,

yeah.

The Hannah Montana casting director reveals which two stars almost wore the blonde wig over Miley.

Huh.

Oh, I think I've heard this.

Because she was on TikTok.

It's a TikTok video.

Like Super Short Show, girl.

Who's that?

The girl from Cheaper by the Dozen, who's like, you know, the tomboy.

Yes.

Nope.

That's not who she said.

So after.

I'm going to keep guessing.

Okay.

But.

Ashley Disdale?

Nope.

Okay.

TikTok video went viral claiming that Spanish-Mexican singer Belinda was almost snagged for the role.

The actual casting director, Lisa London, set the record straight and posted one of her own videos on Wednesday to explain that this wasn't the case.

She said, I'm actually the original casting director on Hannah Montana, and I discovered Miley Cyrus.

I wanted to let everyone know that Belinda, who is lovely, by the way, was never in the top three for the role of Hannah.

Maybe Allison Stoner was in tops, but this is top three.

Okay.

Miley Cyrus,

Taylor Mumpson.

Oh my god, Jenny from Brooklyn?

And Daniella Monet, who wound up being unvictorious.

Oh, it's so interesting how like, and I feel like this is so

relevant because of Jeanette McCurdy's book.

Like the child acting world is actually really small.

I imagine.

There's not like a million kids clamoring to get like

they, there's just like the same couple of kids who, who were there at the same time.

Yeah.

And they.

all in one way or another eventually did something.

But this was a network test out of over 1,200 girls.

Those were the top three.

The name Chloe also was supposed to be the name for

the main character before Miley.

It was supposed to be Chloe Stewart, but then they changed it to Miley Stewart.

Chloe Stewart is cute.

Chloe Stewart is cute, but I think there was a lot of name.

First of all, Miley's an iconic name, but I remember reading it like a while ago.

There was already a lot of names happening because you had Chloe, then you have Miley, Cyrus, and you have Hannah Montana.

So they sort of.

No, I thought you sit down.

That was like a thing they did sometimes.

Like Raven, that's so Raven, Raven, Simone, Raven.

It really can make something truly iconic, but it also makes the actor or actress, it makes it really hard for them to break out from that, uh,

being that person.

I actually don't agree.

I think that it gives them like star power to another level.

Like it makes their career bigger and longer.

But I think for Hannah, like because she was able to

differentiate between Hannah and Miley, it was okay.

But like if Hillary Duff, if her name had been Lizzie,

it would have been even harder for her.

Maybe, yeah.

But I also think that's just a byproduct of being a child star.

Like, you're going to be.

That transition is hard no matter when and where it comes.

You're stunted as that person.

People are always going to assume.

So if they're going to assume, like Jeanette McCurdy was saying, like, people just used to be like, Sam, Sam, Sam.

And she was, she hated being famous so much.

She's like, if people didn't even know my real name, I would not take a photo with them.

But with Miley, it's like they already did, you know?

Yeah, exactly.

It just makes it more infused.

You're, you are that person, but it could

set you up for bigger success.

And then it also just created the name Miley.

Like, it was like a popular popular kid's name because of her.

No one had heard that name before.

Yeah.

I obviously think they made the right choice.

Like there's no one who could

like Miley.

Also, I think those other two girls would have really been the wrong choice.

One, because Taylor Momson, obviously, we saw her grow up.

She would not have wanted to be a Disney star and she would have rebelled in every which way.

Like you thought Miley Smoking Salvia was bad?

Like, just wait till you see what Jenny Humphreys came up with.

That's true.

Actually, she went through a tough transition.

She did not want to be a role model.

And then Danielle Monet, like, was great being Victorious's sister.

But she wouldn't have been my hannah.

You know, I don't think she had like at the time, the star power to carry an entire show, franchise, tour, merch, everything that comes along with it.

And then with Miley, we also got her dad, who's literally one of the best characters.

Yeah.

And it just made the whole thing like really cool and relevant in pop culture.

It was really nepotism at its finest.

Like Miley obviously had a leg up on the other two girls because she was bringing her dad and because she was a famous kid.

Like, but I think that it, it worked.

It was perfection.

It was the perfect recipe.

No one could have done it.

Like Miley.

And also, it's like, sure, you know, she does the singing, she has the dad, but like her comedic timing was so perfect for Disney.

She was amazing.

But I think she probably got to the top of those 1,200 kids because of her dad.

And that's where I feel like the show wouldn't have been the same without the nepotism.

I think it was an important, it was the salt.

It was a pinch of, you know,

important ingredient.

Important ingredients.

Not

final story.

Yeah, you put the iPad down.

Yeah, sorry.

It was just giving fifth and final energy.

It was because like, I love to wrap up with Miley.

Whoa,

yeah.

That's how we should transition between stories.

We should add a button.

You know how we have the crunch buttons?

Yes, we need, and we can have, there's eight buttons we can program.

They could all be different.

Ooh, whoa.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Love.

Love.

Our fifth and final story is a little financial news.

I know you guys will love and trust when we deliver financial news.

Fifth and final story.

What did you say?

You bloom where you're planted.

Oh, you're blessed.

You bloom where you're McPlanted.

You're planted.

I am.

You bloom where you're McPlanted.

Or it could be a directive.

Bloom where you're planted.

Bitch.

Bitch.

Love, love.

I love throwing a bitch at the end of anything.

You do.

Our fifth and final story: some financial news.

Just not really news because that would be really depressing, but it's more of a

success story.

Success story.

It's good news.

It's good financial news for this college student who made $110 million trading shares of Bed Bath and Beyond.

A 20-year-old college student made $110 million by selling his stake in retailer Bed Bath and Beyond after the company's stock price surged over a one-month period this summer.

An echo of last year's meme stock boom.

Jake Freeman, who was studying applied mathematics,

economics, Bill Friedman, F-R-E-E-M-M-A-N.

I don't know, Friedman is for sure.

Freeman, I don't know.

No.

He's studying those things at US.

Those things.

Like, I don't need to say it again.

Agreed.

It was a mouthful.

We were literally talking about this yesterday.

Like, if your major comes up in like conversation as an adult, and like it really doesn't, unless you make $110 million.

Or you're currently still a student.

Yeah.

He bought 5 million shares in Bed Bath and Beyon in July at just under $5.50 a share.

He owned around 66% of the company as a result of his investment.

On Tuesday, the stock price

soared to more than $27 a share.

Regulatory filings reviewed by Financial Times showed that he sold more than $130 million worth of stock using his TD Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers accounts.

Not on the computer.

Like, I thought, wait, okay.

So, if he bought 5 million shares at $5 a share, how much money is that?

A lot of money.

So, he had a lot of money to start.

How?

Maybe he's been trading like for a long time.

So because I thought it was like, you know, he took $100.

Right.

No, no, no.

It wasn't.

It wasn't.

Not to be rude, it makes it like a little less impressive.

He bought how many shares?

$5 million.

That's what you said.

5 million shares times $5.

$25 million?

$25 million.

He was playing around with.

I mean, if like, if this is what he does for fun, like maybe.

Why would he still be in college if he had $25 million?

He has been investing alongside his uncle, who was a former pharmaceutical executive.

So maybe he was giving him the money to play with to his like genius nephew who's studying applied mathematics.

You know, I chose this as a success story, but now it's turning into an investigation.

How does a college kid have access to $25 million?

He's investing alongside his uncle.

Yada uncle.

I'm sorry.

He said that the initial $25 million stake that he bought in the company was made possible by raising money from friends and family.

So he must have really believed in this.

Like I they're making it seem like it was like, oh, I'm surprised I made this much money.

What if your nephew?

Okay, like, you don't have a nephew.

So, like, okay.

Yeah.

No, what if, like, in 10 years, Michaela's like coming to all of us, pitching, um, I need seed money.

Um, I have this good feeling about this internet stock.

Um, five million dollars will do the trick.

It depends what I know about her up until this point.

Is she like a kid genius?

Is she studying applied mathematics?

And I've seen her do incredible things along the way.

It's not like she just like woke up one day.

It's like, I think I'll be an investor today.

Yeah, yeah.

That's nice.

Nice to have.

I believe in kaler is the question nice to have friends and family answer yes nice to have friends and family who like

even if it's like a great idea have access to 25 million dollars to like put together into some sort of seed round yeah but it's not a seed round it's just i don't know wondering if well so everyone got like a great roi yeah but did he put in any of his own money or did he made it make 110 million dollars for other people uh

well the investor just like if this were you know an investment house like they get a cut yeah curious i wonder if he has a girlfriend he does now

he will he will soon we'll get snatcher over there yeah so happy for him happy for him

that's nice i love love love a hundred million dollars like i think that's really never a bad thing really gorgeous yeah of course i think you should get some give some to charity um after he pays back all of his maybe he'll run run off with it we'll have ourselves like a made-off situation we'll keep you posted for sure on the college kid with 100 mil yeah we were talking about majors and like what is an embarrassing major and what is respectable then it turns out margo's is embarrassing Margo has a really embarrassing major.

I honestly didn't know that about her.

Sociology.

Big yikes.

Big yikes.

Mine's media and communications, which isn't great, but given the work that I do, I think it makes it fine.

It looks like this has always been your dream and you have lived a successful dream.

And that I bloomed where I was planted.

And my major is history, which if you know anything about me, it shows that she studied what she loved.

Yeah, I think studying history or English is like so standard.

You know, it doesn't blink, makes nobody.

It's respectable.

It's not like, oh, applied mathematics.

Right.

But it's okay.

Applied mathematics, political science.

Maybe you learned some interesting stuff.

Economics.

Those are all very respectable.

Maybe you like learned some facts.

Yeah.

And read some good books.

Yeah.

Then there are the ones that are.

That are just like, it's giving low GPA, you know?

Which, by the way, I had a low GPA, so I'm not being like.

No, but at least like you're able to cover it.

A lot of people have a low GPA, but it's not something you lead with.

No, and like

it wasn't particularly high.

It's so important to stress how like having a high high gpa means literally nothing about you in the real world like i am in i'm a mogul and at one point i was put on academic probation like

who wasn't no i a lot of people no i really was you know you get an academic probation when your gpa is below 2.0 i had gotten an f the one i spoke about earlier just took you down took me way down especially when my grades weren't that great like the other classes were just like b's and stuff i know but like when you get an f you have to take the class over or um lose the credits lose the credit i actually once got a d which is worse because it just sat there and it brought the whole ship down.

Well, I never retook the class.

So I had the F and I lost the four credits.

But as I've previously stated, I was taking vocal lessons.

I guess I got the credits.

Right.

Like you were one step further graduation.

But I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's not like I was trying to go to grad school.

So

I was taking vocal lessons for two credits every semester.

So I was always like in the surplus when it came to credits.

So the four credits, like I just like, you could not pay me to take that fucking class again.

Like I, I didn't even care about the F, honestly.

so yeah having like a high gpa like good for you nobody cares go get a job here's the thing c's get degrees c's get degrees and i just f's and d's don't i'll remember i'll never forget going to my five-year high school reunion and like chatting with some of the kids in my high school who were like the smartest like most promising and i was like what are you guys up to and they were like oh you know i just traveled um looking for a job and then someone else was like yeah no i'm not i think i'm going to fashion marketing and i was like but you had all the promise you're supposed to be like at goldman

Yeah.

So having a high GPA just means nothing, honestly.

Having street smarts.

It's all about what you do with it.

It's about what you do with it.

It's everything.

It's all about what you do with it.

It's about having charisma.

It's about having so many other things and like being able to crunch numbers.

It's about having nerve.

Nerve.

Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

No, I'm not even kidding.

I feel like putting yourself out there.

No, totally.

Taking risks and embarrassing yourself.

And honestly, I feel like maybe being really academically smart puts you at a disadvantage because like you feel like that's, that's the one and only way you need to succeed in order to move forward in your life.

But there's so many other things involved with getting a job.

It's like it's about, let's say you're auditioning or interviewing for a job and there's multiple candidates and you're like the one who's really good with the numbers and really smart and has the highest GPA.

But then there's someone else who's a great teamworker because he's very charismatic and outgoing.

And so if you're so focused on just like getting 100 on every test, you're not learning other skills in school, which are really just as important.

Being social, being outgoing, being helpful, all these different things.

Yeah.

So just know if you get a C, it's fine.

But that's why you should like go for a job that really only cares about the numbers and doesn't care about how you work with the other data scientists right like engineer no i'm not engineering i'm like what was that book i just read love hypothesis she's like a scientist yeah yeah like it doesn't matter like just what is your data science like just do the job right accountant i don't need an accountant with a great personality okay yeah i just need an accountant who can crunch numbers and knows the law and knows the loopholes yeah i didn't say that irs i did not say that oh yeah you don't want to start with them no um but if they do start with me i will finish them no i don't know it's That's my mission in life.

I'm taking down the IRS.

No, I'm totally kidding.

They're more powerful than ever.

Don't come for me.

It's so true.

Okay, well, that's our show.

That is our show.

It's officially the weekend for us.

Well, not really, but it's officially the weekend.

So just throw that laptop out the window and go party.

And Monday, we're back remote.

I'll miss you so much.

I'll miss you more.

When do you think you'll come back?

I don't know.

She doesn't have plans to.

When's your next show?

When are you going to Alabama?

So that's why I'm going home.

So I'm coming home on Sunday.

I have a show Thursday in Red Bank.

There's very few tickets left.

So New Jersey Peeps, girlwithnojob.com slash tour.

Look at how Theo is sleeping, snoring, sleeping so good.

Everybody's like hanging off the chair.

Both the boys are snoring.

Are we that boring?

No, we're that peaceful.

Yeah, try and come for my Long Island show.

Oh, that would be fun.

Yeah, and like once I'm weaned, I'm going to go to Dr.
