Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Monday.

I am Claudia Ashre and I am Pro-Choice.

Hi, Claude.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good.

I'm doing good.

It's been a crazy couple of days.

It's been a crazy couple of days, and I feel like a lot of people want to

hear what we have to say about.

our industry.

We really are.

We're like female icons.

And I do feel like if you know moguls.

Sorry, I misspoke.

I feel like if we don't, you know, talk about the news of the weekend, that a lot of people will come for our next.

Yeah.

Like we find ourselves in a difficult position.

We actually had like an hour-long FaceTime this morning about how we wanted to tackle this.

Because as you guys know, our policy here at the Morning Shows is like we really, we do not talk about politics for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because like this show is everything of the sort.

I think a lot of people rely on this show just to kind of escape.

Yeah.

It's we're so funny, I think so talented that we really make people forget about the trials and tribulations of their everyday life.

And a part of being just like a human being

in America right now with access to social media, it's like it's so overwhelming and it's so taxing, like how inundated with information you are and how like even like the influencer culture of like

having to post forever like it's it's extremely toxic, I think.

Yeah, and it's really bizarre the influencer culture where it's like everybody posts the same infographic that really isn't like moving the needle or or saying much.

They just like don't want to be

attacked.

Yeah, or like marked.

It's like I they think I think this or I didn't say anything about that.

And it's not really about caring about what's going on.

It's just about like front facing.

And so if someone you follow like hasn't posted, it never occurs to someone like maybe they're processing.

Maybe they're figuring out how they feel.

Maybe they're talking to their local

representatives.

Or posting on social media is not an indication of how you feel.

Maybe they're not an expert on the matter.

Right.

So like it's it's a very weird space we find ourselves in.

And this weekend, I think was really emblematic of that because I think a lot of people were internalizing the information.

And like when it came out on Friday,

it was very

alarming.

You know, it was like, oh my God, the world is ending.

And when

you actually like, when you look into what's happening, It's a lot of information to take in.

Yeah, and I think there's also a lot of misinformation going around,

but we are very adamant about not talking about politics on the show.

It gets harder and harder every day because politics is like worming its way into literally every aspect of life, but still we try and stay the course.

And I feel so strongly that there should be and there can be people and spaces that are politics-free.

Agreed.

One, because like we don't want, like politics is messy and disgusting, and this show is gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, and smart.

One.

Two,

we don't ever like want to be divisive, you know?

And there's enough of that.

And I feel just also very strongly that we don't need to wade into politics.

Even if there's like pressure from people, you need to speak about this.

Why aren't you using your platform?

Like, if you don't like how we use our platform, build your own platform, you know?

So I feel very

certain that we don't need to speak about.

But sometimes there are things or events that aren't necessarily political that, you know, tug at the heartstrings that we that we do want to mention.

That's not the same.

That's not the same.

No, I just did feel like given the rant I went on last week about the government coming for my jewel, it did feel particularly appropriate

given like the next day that the government, I'm just, I'm kind of feeling like the more I delve into my own political beliefs, I think I'm an anarchist.

Like fuck the government, like that's what I was realizing because every time I'm like government, go away.

Like I'm honestly, I'm an anti-government anarchist.

That's what I realized.

Like don't tell me what to jewel.

Don't tell me what to do with my body.

Like that is the conclusion I've come to today.

Okay.

Anarchy for life.

Love that for you.

So, we wanted to mention it, but again, like, just reinforce the values of the toast are like an inclusive space where we just really try and keep it light.

And that's not for everyone.

And that's totally fine.

There are so many shows you can listen to that are gonna scratch the itch that you're looking for.

But here at the toast, and it's not because our views are unpopular.

No, or we care what people think.

And it's

not because I don't care about politics or I don't care about these things that are happening.

I've had so many conversations over the weekend.

Like, and in my personal life, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings.

But there's very little room for nuance in general in the internet, in the digital space, especially for us.

We get literally

no leeway.

So we don't want to have these big conversations.

And we also don't want to just serve up platitudes and say.

And be disingenuous.

Right.

So I agree with you.

I think the lack of nuance on the internet makes it really difficult to have genuine and meaningful conversations.

Yeah.

So we're just gonna talk about the Kardashians.

Right.

And I think in a genuine and meaningful way.

Lots of nuance.

Nuance.

That's us.

And don't forget about layers.

No, that's true.

It's extremely layered.

Yeah.

So happy Monday.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

You know, I actually had a nice weekend because I have like, not permanently, but like I was like, I'm not drinking.

And it was...

amazing.

Like it was, I see

the perks of sobriety.

I really do.

I felt like the weekend was so long.

When I woke up on Sunday morning, I was like, oh my God, it's fucking Monday.

I'm like, no, bitch, it's motherfucking Sunday.

Yeah.

I feel so like balanced.

I spent so much time with you and Harold.

I read so much and I got my fucking ass up and I saw Top Gun.

Finally, I mean, I'm so jealous, but also tell everyone you were trying to see Elvis.

And then you called me and I was like, you need to see Top Gun.

Me and Ben were like, let's go to the movies.

And there was like so few seats because the theater by us is reserved seating, which I do like.

So we had like limited options and the better seats were for Elvis.

And I was like, you know what?

I feel like I missed the Top Gun moment anyway.

Like everyone's like, yeah, we saw a bitch a month ago.

So I was like, now everyone's on their like fourth viewing.

No, now everyone's on their Elvis shit.

Elvis came out this weekend.

Oh.

So I was like, Ben, let's see Elvis.

And he was like so mad.

And I'm like, just shut up.

Oh my God.

That is so HRH.

I know.

I've been channeling motherfucking HRH energy.

It's the anarchist in me.

Totally.

So I

called Jackie and I was like, by the way, we're seeing Elvis, not Top Gun, just to to like, you know, have someone on my side against Ben.

And she was like, what are you doing?

You should see Top Gun.

So we switched it.

The theater was packed.

And

I want to be really cautious about what I say because I don't know if you guys know this, but Miles Teller's iconic wife, Kelly, is a toaster.

And so the possibility of Miles hearing my review is almost 100%, you know?

So this is what I want to say.

I mean, I have so many thoughts.

First of all, the movie was fucking incredible.

Like, do you think I give a shit about planes?

No.

On that fucking theater, in the theater, I was like, you fucking plane, you better get in that motherfucking canyon.

Yeah, turn to the right, turn to the right.

Two minutes and 30 seconds, bitch.

Yeah.

Like, I was being so plane girly, like, literally the points girl, okay?

It was so good.

So many hot fucking men.

But then it also made me realize it was a lot of Tom Cruise.

And like, I get it.

It's like his franchise, but it's like, it's time to pass the baton on to Miles Teller and Glenn Powell.

Like.

I literally did the weirdest thing this weekend and I slid into Glenn Powell's DMs.

What did you say?

Well, I like, I like having no Glenn.

We've like actually been on vacation together three times because we have a mutual friend.

Okay.

And how many people were on the vacation last year?

Just like 150.

Okay.

But we've never, like, we've spoken a bunch like formalities and we like follow each other on Instagram.

I love that for you.

Yeah.

I took the opportunity to slide in because I thought he was incredible.

He was so funny.

Like his character was hilarious.

He's so funny.

He's so fun.

I've been trying to tell you.

Hot.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

So I slid in, had like a nice conversation with Glenn, taking our relationship to the next level, you know?

Lovely.

But it made me think about Tom Cruise because Tom Cruise is like one of the biggest movie stars in the world, ready yeah name one movie he's been in besides top gun i was like i don't think i've ever seen this man in a movie uh

mission impossible jason statham no he's mission impossible no he's top gun No no there was only one Top Gun.

No, and like that's Tom Cruise.

Like literally, what the fuck has Tom Cruise been in?

I think he's Mission Impossible.

Yes.

He says yes.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Okay, fine.

That tracks then.

Okay, fine.

Yeah, but yeah, you're not Tom's target audience.

No, so it was like a lot of Tom.

You were being introduced to Tom Cruise for the first time, an up-and-coming actor.

I was, and I think this movie did a really good job of telling you what happened in the first.

There was like a couple flashbacks, but they explained because there were characters from the old movie in the new one.

I don't think you need to see the first one.

Like, if you want to, you can, but it wasn't required viewing.

It was just incredible.

Miles was so good.

Like, it was so amazing.

And I had heard the song on TikTok a couple times, but I didn't really put together that Lady Gaga had written a song for the movie.

Is that what the song is?

Subright.

I love that song.

It's so good.

So don't you let go of my hand.

You can cry every last time.

Hello.

I've been listening to it over and over again.

I'm like, why is no one talking about Lady Aga's new song out?

But I guess because it was for a movie and not like a single on an album, so we're not like in album mode.

But they play it at the end, and it's like, it's literally like I had tears.

It was so good.

I literally love that song.

Now, the movie had one thing that I didn't like, and I know this is going to make me sound like a woman who doesn't support other women because there was literally one woman in the movie, but she happens to be one of my least favorite actresses of all time, Jennifer Connolly.

Okay.

And I think it's because she's constantly being cast in roles that like have her as like the most annoying fucking bitch on the planet.

Like, when I think of Jennifer Connolly, I think of her as the nagging wife, and he's just not that into you.

It's like, girl, like, get some scruples.

Like, have a spine.

Your husband's being a dick.

So that was just like my personal.

She's just not my favorite, but she was the only woman in the movie to like, I hate to be that girl, like only saying, like, the woman.

And she was good.

Was it her or her character or both?

A little combo both, but I will say she is.

But then

that's on them for making the female character unlikable.

She wasn't unlikable.

She just wasn't like everything.

Unlikable.

Yeah, but I will say, like,

people talk about like actresses who are aging beautifully, like Gwyneth Paltrow.

Jennifer Connolly's up there.

Like, she looked amazing.

Okay.

Also, the movie was set, I think, in San Diego.

It was just like stunning.

San Diego is like...

has it going on.

La Goya?

Like you will find me in La Goya, okay?

Okay.

And at Legoland and at Belle.

I'm literally Chris Jenner, like obsessed with San Diego.

I went once and I thought it it was like the most beautiful place on the planet.

No, the more I see of San Diego, the more I'm like, that's where it's at.

I'm interested.

I'm very interested in San Diego.

So I really recommend the movie, even if you think it's not your genre type.

Like, obviously, I've never seen an action movie in my life and I couldn't get enough of the action.

It was so well done.

And, you know, that's like Tom Cruise's thing.

He is the stunt man.

He does his own stunts.

And all the other guys who are in the film, like, were doing their own stunts too.

He raised the bar.

He raised the bar.

I do feel like a little icky about Tom Cruise just in general.

Like, especially because I follow Leah Remini on TikTok and she's like always coming for him and she's totally right.

So like that was like kind of the one er about the movie.

But I do hope they make more top guns and like, you know, Miles is the new.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry.

Maverick?

Maverick.

Is his name Maverick?

That's okay.

So no, it's too much.

So Tom Cruise is too much.

Tom Cruise's name is Maverick.

They all have like first and last names, but in this special unit that they're in, the Top Gun unit, they all have nicknames.

So there's Rooster, which is Miles Teller.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought Miles Teller was Maverick.

No, that wasn't.

Tom Cruise is Maverick.

Glenn Powell was like hangman or something.

They all have like cool, quirky names.

That's so cute.

It was cute and quirky and cute.

Okay, well, I'm so jealous.

I really want to see it.

If anyone has a screener or is a member of like the SAG and can just get me a screener.

Oh my God, by the way, like, why didn't we just ask Kelly?

I know.

I hate to like ask for favors, but like if you or someone you know gets screeners or has a plane, I would like both.

Yeah.

I think that's fair to ask.

Yeah.

I really do want to see Elvis, though.

The reviews are coming in.

We could ask for a screener.

Yeah, yeah.

If you have a screen for a screener.

Buzz, if you're listening.

I just like cannot get my ass out of my house.

Because like, honestly, even at the theaters, well, first of all, I was sitting next to a guy who was so weird.

He was.

Just watch what you say.

That's not what I'm saying.

He came.

He came by himself, which I was like, okay.

But he was the biggest Top Gun fan in fucking history.

First of all, he was talking to himself the whole time, which actually did not bother me because he was having so much when he was like, oh, yeah, that that fucking plane is sick.

He was like cursing too.

He's like, oh, this is fucking awesome.

Swear jar.

Did you give him a swear jar?

And by the way, what's the top gun song?

How way

to the danger zone?

He was singing it.

Like he was, this was like

the best night of his life.

So I wasn't going to be like annoying like Karen.

Like, can you quiet down?

But the theater was packed.

In the first row, there was like 16-year-olds who had like obviously gotten high and like went to the movies and were cracking up and running out of the theater every five seconds.

And like, I guess I really am officially grown up because I was in the part of the section of the theater with everyone who was like so fucking annoyed.

Like, some guy actually said something to them.

And like, if that was me when I was 16, I would be like, oh, these fucking loser old people.

But it's like, no, bitch, shut up and sit down or leave.

Yeah.

Like, I was actually about to go get the manager.

Like, that's how Kara and I was feeling.

Wow.

They were being so annoying.

It was a group of like 10 teenage boys hysterically laughing, whispering, getting up every five seconds, up, down, up, down, up, down.

And they were in the first row.

So everyone could see them.

What were they doing when they were getting up, like getting snacks?

I think they were like getting snacks and they were also like excusing themselves because they couldn't stop laughing because they were high and like

normally I think things like that like make me feel nostalgic for my youth but it just made me feel like I'm so glad I'm not a fucking teenager anymore.

We're annoying and smelly and ugly.

Okay.

Teenagers are ugly.

She said what she said and she meant it.

Good.

You have to see Elvis.

I know.

I really, really want to.

Yeah.

And I need to see Elvis.

Like, yeah.

I was like, even when I was really enjoying the movie, I was like, I wonder what's going on in the theater.

They were playing at the same time.

Like, I wonder what the people in Elvis are doing, you know?

Yeah, maybe Elvis is like a little bit more elevated, perhaps.

There wouldn't have been teenagers.

No, there wouldn't have.

And you know me, like, if a movie's over 40 minutes, like, I can't watch it.

It was two hours and 20 minutes.

It flew by.

Look at you.

So good.

Like, I know I'm the last person on the planet, but like, you gotta see Top Guns.

People didn't need to be convinced.

But I do think people come here for your critical takes.

And the thing is, you are pretty critical.

Like, if you walked out of D.R.

of Enhance in the movie, like, okay, that's, by the way, that's not critical.

No.

But you, like, you don't just like or love anything.

No, I worked out of the revenue.

If you're loving something,

it's worth taking notes.

I walked out of Boss Baby 2.

I think this Top Gun movie is going to be huge.

Huge.

I walked out of Boss Baby 2.

Oh, I didn't see two, but I liked one.

Me too.

Enough to see two in theaters.

I walked out of the Revenant.

I walked out of Deer Revan Hansen.

I've walked out of like probably like 19 out of 20 of the last movies I've seen.

Damn.

But that's always not like a testament to...

the movie, more so to like my frame of mind and also my circumstances.

Like if the chair is not comfortable, the theater I went to doesn't have fountain soda.

They offer bottled.

I'm like, what is this?

1972?

I love bottled.

No, and they have a fucking one of those big-ass vending machines with the touchscreen.

It's been broken like since before COVID.

I'm like, Curly, get it together.

The movie industry's back, baby.

Like, let's go.

Yeah.

Thanks to Top Gun.

Literally.

It was so good.

And like Miles Teller's just everything.

And I ran to the bathroom for like 10 seconds.

And it was like one of those peas that you don't even wash your hands.

You just go so fast.

And it made me think about,

that's the thing.

Nobody washes their hands when they go to the theaters and co-pay.

That's a thing.

Wait.

Like, I can't think of a place where you need to wash your hands more.

Of course, but you're missing the hands.

And then you're going to go back to your

snacks.

I didn't eat.

I had dinner before.

Oh, look at you.

I went to Patsy's.

Yum.

Look at you.

So I didn't eat, first of all, but I thought that was like a thing we were all doing, like, not washing our hands at the theater because, like, we want to run back to the movie.

Like, when I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, I wash my hands.

Like, so if I'm not washing my hands at the movie theater.

That's fucking unhinged.

No, like, now, because I don't wake up in the middle of the night a lot to pee.

Maybe by the end of my pregnancy, when I was like peeing twice in the night, I wasn't washing my hands.

But but still like my hands feel weird if I don't wash them.

It's just like a mental thing.

Agree.

At the movie theater, it's a physical thing.

Okay, well,

that's where we differ.

For sure.

But it really made me think about whiplash.

Yeah.

No, I can't.

I honestly, like, I love Miles Teller so much.

Like, I just can't go back down this road.

Why?

Because we always talk about whiplash.

Because you know what?

He was really snubbed for an Oscar.

It's the most amazing movie.

Like, I was just thinking about that while I was taking my top gun piss.

And I was like, just as for Miles Teller.

Oh, 100%.

But it also makes me think about Foot Loose.

But I do see that Footloose is getting its shine now because people are looking for more Miles Teller content content.

And there's literally like hours of it in Footloose.

That movement started on TikTok.

They were like, girlies, you're just waking up on Miles Teller now.

Let me show you something.

Let me show you when he learned how to dance.

Let me show you that two little girls.

That movie montage of him.

It's the best movie montage ever.

It really, it's up there.

It's up there with, you know what else is really good movie montage?

The sweetest thing when they like lose their clothes and they're trying on like stuff.

Oh, yeah.

And she's like 27?

28 with her boobs?

Yeah.

That's a good one.

There's so many.

So many.

Did they have one in Top Gun?

I feel like the whole movie was a montage, honestly.

Like it was just like hot men being hot.

Oh, yeah.

The movie montage that everyone's obsessed with is them pink playing football on the beach.

Right.

And it's it lived up to the hype.

I can assure you that.

And say what you want about Tom Cruise.

Like the man's body is unique in a good way.

Sorry.

Tom Cruise is another one.

He's aging quite beautifully.

Yeah.

What do you mean?

I've seen recent pictures of him and he looks the same.

Yeah, I know he is.

I know you can't say a nice thing about him because he's very embroiled in Scientology and I'm not.

Because I have scruples.

Damn.

Are you accusing me of having those scruples?

I'm not accusing you of being scrupless.

I'm just saying that's why I really can't.

No, the difference is like you've watched all the Scientology shows in Leah Remedy and like you follow everything and I really haven't.

So I'm sure if I got into it, I'd be singing a different tune.

And there are also a lot of celebrities who are Scientologists who I don't feel like boycotting, but Tom Cruise is like the number one.

And he's like a recruiter and he's the face of it.

And he's the biggest donor.

Honestly, it's like him and John Travolta.

But like I don't.

I feel like you don't feel this way about John Travolta.

Well, because he was in hairspray and that will absolve you of all your sins.

It's just because you're not a Tom Cruise girly in his body of work.

Yeah, that's for sure the truth.

But it's also because he is the Numero Uno.

Yeah.

He's like number one donor.

He's literally like the president.

He's like the founder.

He's like that Ron Hubble guy.

Like we're

the president of the company.

Literally.

So that's my, that's Sandy Kenyon with the Eyewitness News Movie Minute.

Yeah, you should go on Sandy Kenyon.

Oh, he wouldn't be ready for me.

No, he wouldn't.

I'd be like, shut up, Sandy.

Also, you read a lot this weekend.

We both read the same book, which was the book for the Redheads girls with bright futures.

I did.

Episode drops first Thursday of July, but we are recording this week.

So email your questions to the redheads bookclub at gmail.com.

I'm so excited that you read it because I was reading it and I was like, Claudia would like this book.

It has all of the makings of a Claudia's choice.

I have a couple thoughts.

Sure.

The first thought is that if you've read the book and if you've ever seen Dance Moms, that annoying ass mom, Kelly is literally Kelly from Dance Moms.

Like, I couldn't see it in your Hollywood review.

Mention that on the podcast, please.

Okay.

Two, I did really like it.

I've never read a Redhead book when it was the month.

I went always like a year late because that's me like being so stubborn.

I thought it was great.

A little too long for my liking, but still really, really good.

I liked a lot of the characters.

I liked the story.

I liked the beat.

And also I thought it was really appropriate reading this weekend because it was like...

not like a lot, but like abortion.

Like it was like a part of it.

So it just felt like relevant.

Yes, I thought the same.

So I thought it was a great weekend read and I really enjoyed it.

I also read something else I just cannot remember.

Oh, I read Mrs.

Arisco's Paris.

And because when I went to see Top Gun, there was a trailer for this super cute little like French film, not really, but like cute little film.

And it said based on the book.

And I was like, you know what?

I should tell Jackie to read this book because the movie is so her.

Like you would love it.

And then I was like, you know what, let me read it.

And it was like 150 pages.

Why not me?

It was 150 pages.

That's why you read it.

Yeah, of course.

But then literally the second I bought it on the first page, it said like the copyright.

It was literally written in 1976.

And I was like, fuck.

Like, I just feel like English is different now.

Like, I wouldn't wouldn't be able to understand it.

It was, it was understandable, but it was so British.

Like, they kept calling her a charwoman.

Indeed, what does that mean?

Literally, I learned 50, literally, I used the dictionary.

Gorgeous.

After they used it 50 times, it means housekeeper, which I kind of assumed because the whole premise of the book is like, it's this housekeeper who, like, cleans for really, like, fancy ladies.

And she sees one of the ladies has a Dior dress and she's...

obsessed and she makes it her life's mission to save enough money, go to Paris and get herself a Dior dress.

And then like when she gets to Paris, it's this whole wonderful adventure, and everyone is so like obsessed with Mrs.

Harris when they meet her.

She's like a special woman.

That sounds amazing.

I know.

And then there was a sequel, Mrs.

Aris goes to Paris, and then Mrs.

Arris goes to New York.

And that one didn't rhyme.

So I was like, wait, what's the sequel?

How is it different from the first?

She goes to New York.

Oh, okay.

Sorry.

I thought you said the sequel was Mrs.

Arris goes to Paris.

No, no, Mrs.

Arris goes to New York.

And then I was like,

I've delved into like, yeah, and I've delved into like enough, you know, foreign literature for one day.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, thank you for that recap.

Gorgeous.

A lot of content from you this weekend.

Yeah, no, and that's what you get when you don't drink.

Oh, and speaking of drinking, Jackie came into the video.

If you're wondering why she's talking a mile a minute faster than ever.

I think this ratio of words spoken is 80-20.

Please come down.

No, no, no, you're doing great.

Okay, so Jacqueline walked into the studio today with not one, but two travel mugs.

Mug?

Cough.

Cup.

Cup.

Coughs.

Travel cups.

And she made me her signature coffee that she started making at home like only a couple weeks ago because she thinks I would like it.

And I did have a sip of it over the weekend and it was good.

And she made me one.

And it's really good.

You guys know I'm like very picky about coffee.

So I'll just tell you what's in it in case you guys are trying to recreate at home, drink along with your girls.

It's really good.

This is Starbucks iced coffee from the bottle with coffee made, hazelnut, zero sugar, and a stevia.

In the raw.

So good.

In the raw.

I don't like regular stevia.

You're a raw girl.

You like it raw.

So it's really good.

Thank you, Jackie.

That was very kind of you.

Yeah, I I just thought, you know, why not her?

Why not?

Why this coffee?

Yeah, I know that you liked it, and I had, I was running late anyway, so might as well make two.

I was running late today, too.

You know what I did last night?

I took melatonin.

Why?

Because I'm just fucking done with not being able to sleep.

Like, I don't think there's more hell on earth than being up with your thoughts while your fucking husband is snoring.

Like, it's not only are you, like, tortured by not being able to sleep, you're being taunted by the sound of his snoring at how good he's sleeping.

I hate being left with my alone with my thoughts.

I can can never turn my brain off.

At night is when I like turn into like worst case scenario, everyone I love dying, my career ending.

Like it's so painful to be alone with myself.

You know what they call those?

I just learned this word, intrusive thoughts.

Have you heard of that?

Yeah, girly, welcome to the planet.

We know what intrusive thoughts are.

That's a new term.

Yes, it is, but intrusive thoughts are also like crazy thoughts you have in your head.

Like, and sometimes I do.

Like, I'll pick up Michaela and I'm like, I'm like, should I throw her out the window?

But like, you never would, you never would, but it's like you think your mind goes to to the craziest okay okay yeah I'm never gonna throw her but it's like what if I just literally threw her in the pool you know like yeah yeah that's what an intrusive thought is it's like a fucking psychotic thing that comes in your brain that you would never act on but you're like why am I thinking this okay I learned that on TikTok and I'm like oh man sometimes I do I'm like yeah yeah I'm on the plane I'm like should I just run and scream bomb like because like that's I don't know what the cause is intrusion intrusion but it's like these crazy outlandish things in your brain although you would never like agree with them or act on them they pop up and and you can't control it okay i that makes a lot of sense yeah but that's a relatively new term i hadn't heard it until like a few months ago because it's very intrusive thoughts are very big in the postpartum world oh are you having intrusive thoughts well i i feel like i've always had intrusive thoughts and then i've saw other people being like postpartum you know there's a lot of anxiety having intrusive thoughts and i saw it enough times to realize like bad thoughts that don't need to be there yeah right but like you can't control things that pop into your brain they just do it yeah yeah yeah no intrusive thoughts is a thing and i definitely have them okay like wild ones and i'm sure now now if you didn't have them you'll have them now because that's what you get at the morning toast.

Intrusive thoughts.

You're welcome.

We also have dear, no, not dear.

Okay, our first story.

Masked Kanye West makes a surprise appearance at the BET Awards to honor Diddy.

So Kanye put an end to his hiatus with a surprise appearance at Sunday's 2022 BET Awards, presenting Sean Diddy Combs with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The rapper stunned the audience.

Oh, he doesn't like when he's called the rapper, remember?

Oh, what does he like to be called?

Genius?

Yeah, or like rapper, designer, architect.

Yeah, artist.

Thinker, stunned the audience when he walked on stage, his face completely covered by a hat, sunglasses, and a mask.

After calling the bad boys record creator a king, he described going going to Diddy for advice over the years.

He said, quote, he inspires so many of my choices, so many of my life choices, my wife's choices.

Thanks for that, Puff.

I guess technically it's still a hiatus of like nobody saw his face, you know?

Oh, I guess so.

Yeah, he said, went on to address his little hiatus saying, I said, I just want to declare myself legally dead for a year.

I just want to be off the grid.

Puff is pretty persistent, but I had to think, bro, it's like people get amnesia.

So you know what?

I actually like have a lot of respect for the fact that he's like going to take a whole year off.

I think it would be really good for him.

But he's like still, still, you know,

a good friend and like shows up for Diddy.

I think he was getting like some big lifetime achievement awards.

Yes.

The BET Awards were last night.

There was like a lot of news coming out.

Jack Harlow was like wearing an outfit like in support of Lil Naz X who has been like snubbed for awards, which is really weird.

Oh, I didn't realize he was snubbed, but I did see his outfit.

And Jusie Smolier was in attendance at the BET Awards, which is so weird.

Yeah.

And like, confusing.

So people were weirded out and confused by that.

And I think whoever the host was was was making like comments about it.

I mean, it's literally like an elephant in the room.

How could you not address that he was there?

Right.

Weirdness.

But nice to see Kanye out and about.

I really hope he's doing well.

Like I totally, we were inundated with like Kanye content for so long.

It always goes that way.

And then we got like fatigued by it.

And then I like kind of forgot about him.

So I honestly am just really wishing him well.

Like take a minute, relax, be with your family, focus on work.

And I really do love that for him.

And I'm just always, always wanting the best for him.

But also like support your friends.

Of course.

You know, make sure to take time from your hiatus to support your friends.

100%.

Which is what he's doing.

So that's what he should be doing.

Yes.

Taking time.

And

I think things got really crazy.

And I think people are like, what's with the mask?

Like, I kind of get it.

Like,

well, I liked what you said, you know, because he's still on, if he, we don't see him, is he still on his hiatus?

But even before he went on hiatus, like, that was his thing.

Fashion statement.

So I think it's a fashion statement.

Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with what I said.

But I like the artistic angle that you took.

Well, I'm an artist and I like to make.

I'm constantly making.

That's you.

I'm making in my bed.

I'm making in my pants.

I'm making in my toilet.

No.

No.

No.

I make wherever I can.

You make on that couch all the time.

All the time.

All the time.

Damn.

I make on stage.

You do.

You got to come see me.

Okay, ready for our next story?

Yeah.

Because Jesse James Decker is opening up about struggling with the cycle of obsessive weight loss and also just a mental health struggle in general.

So Jesse James Decker posted on her Instagram on Thursday talking about her cycle of obsessive weight fluctuation.

She said, quote, I've been battling some body image issues.

And when I really think about it, I probably always have.

I go from one extreme to being obsessed with working out and being muscular to thin and just giving up and gaining because the food makes me feel better.

She also talked about how her mental health has been suffering and sometimes all she can do is break down and cry.

She also talked about a Reddit thread about herself and her family that has really hurt her.

It's not even so much a thread as like a sub-community that like literally has a thousand posts like all the time going about because she has like family drama.

I mean, who doesn't, but like, you know, they're all like mini influencers.

So, and I think her brother like talks about it publicly a lot, which is, I think, feeding the beast because she doesn't really address it.

Her, her, and her mom do not talk to her brother and his wife.

Yeah.

But they are also influencers, so people see like all the things that they're not doing together.

No, and like, I think, I definitely think like Reddit culture has gotten so out of control.

Like,

but that's like the point of Reddit, like a free forum where everyone can talk.

Like, great.

No, but then why are only the mean people there?

Right, like, where are the nice Reddit forums?

Right.

Maybe they're there, but I've just never been spoken about on them.

So I saw her post.

I follow her.

And I was really, really surprised to see this because I always just thought, you know, it's so crazy how Instagram is so not the truth.

And to me, like, her life looks so charmed.

I know, especially on her reality show.

Yeah, and everybody loves her so much.

And she's someone who like got famous from her show and then became an influencer and like just stayed famous forever and like she now she has kitten-ish and like she even did like another show and she has like a wonderful family and a wonderful husband and and you only see that but like you don't see someone's internal struggles and it's so easy to think like oh she doesn't care about the haters like look at all the good but that's how much hate she receives that like not only does it affect her in her daily life but she's gotten to a point where she actually is now having to talk about it because it's affecting her so much you know she's like a rare breed of influencer fused with celebrity like she's really a traditional celebrity, but like I think she would make, she makes her money as an influencer.

So she has like all the eyes of a celebrity with like the toxic fandom of an influencer.

And I think it's like, I don't think, I think she's probably one of the most talked about people on the internet for that reason alone.

It's not even about followers or level of fame.

She's just in this unique place that like lends her to have like one of the worst audiences, you know?

Yeah.

And I always just thought people loved her so much because people knew them from the show.

But it's been years that like she her reddit and it has a lot to do with her family drama like it got people hooked and obsessed and she has been like one of the most talked about reddit thread like influencer deep dive that people are obsessed with like for years i know yeah yeah yeah yeah also she talked about how her career in country music is you know another source of her

anxiety anxiety because she's not where she wants to be and she feels like she'll never be respected by the industry because she's an influencer and like why isn't her music taken seriously?

Okay, I will say I don't necessarily agree with that because I think country music, especially recently, has like really embraced like the influence, especially on TikTok.

Like Priscilla Block is literally a TikToker who hosted like the CMA Red Carpet.

I know you don't know her yet, but like I follow her and like she gets so many opportunities.

All these new country artists.

have been discovered on TikTok.

I watch all their TikToks.

They went to CMA Fest and played at the Spotify lounge.

I don't think country music is anti-digital.

I think they're anti-Jesse Jaden Stucker.

Well, I think like a couple years ago, she made a stink that like the CMT or CMA awards did women in country with like Carrie Underwood, Maren Morris, Kelsey Ballerini, and she made a whole stink on social media about how she was excluded from it.

And it's like, you can't be excluded for something you weren't eligible for.

Yeah.

So like I think there's been like a sense of entitlement when it comes to her music career.

And I...

I don't think she releases that much music.

She does have a new song out that's like extremely good.

She doesn't release that much music, but like her music is very good.

And she's a good thing.

And she's very talented.

So I really don't, and she's very famous and people want to go to her shows and she like does her tours and whatever, like, but just sort of like operates in a vacuum.

And like, why hasn't she been embraced by country music?

Like, it's not because she's not not talented.

It kind of gives the vibe when I watch her music videos and whatever, like, that she doesn't have a label.

Like, yeah.

Like, she's doing it all independently.

And that's what being an independent artist is.

And I don't know for a fact if she has a label or not, but like, she gives the vibe of an independent artist who has like a following, but doesn't get embraced by mainstream country or mainstream pop or whatever the genre is.

Yeah.

So I don't know if what like the machine behind her is, but it feels like she has no machine.

Right.

She's the machine.

But I'm sure like the machine gets tired and that's where she's coming to with this post.

So it's like she's opening up about her mental health issues, her body image issues.

And also like that is something that people are always talking about, like how she looks and her size.

Well, she's so stupid because like literally named someone more stunning.

No, but like even if she wasn't, like it's so twisted the way that people talk about her and it really like affects, it affects her behavior.

Yeah.

So she's just like coming clean with all of this and saying like she's good for her she said quote i feel like i only i try to only post the good sometimes but i think being open and honest will help me heal through this i know i'm not alone and i wanted you to know you're not alone too i'm working through it and navigating daily on how to heal because i'm sure also the pressure to only post the good just makes

bad you know more obvious to her like all the things that she's hiding so if she can just be honest now and be like yes there's so much good but also this is what i'm actually going through i think we'll take a lot of pressure off of her yeah i mean this has been going on with her for years like i remember like back in the breath days, like people were like sharing like her Reddit thread.

Like it's exhausting and it's also so weird.

And I guess this is just like a

product of being a public persona, but it's one that I don't fucking subscribe to, like people talking about your family.

Like it's literally disgusting.

Yeah.

And I just, I think like Reddit culture has gotten so out of control and like these sub-communities where people talk about influencers is particularly damaging because like first of all there's not sub communities where people talk about like celebrities that deeply because celebrities have afforded themselves a level of privacy because they have so much money and they don't have to go out and work and make content every day they can live off of their success for a year and not post and not even be forward facing yeah so it's like influencers have all like the negatives of celebrity and really not as much of the positives like you don't make nearly as much money as an influencer as an influencer you can afford round-the-clock security but your fucking address is being posted on reddit threads like it's actually really fucked up yeah like

being a celebrity is like awesome and being an influencer is like a thankless fucking torturous job.

It really is.

But also another element is like people think it's the easiest job in the world and like

I think that you make more money than you do.

No, and it's like they think like oh I can do that and you know sit around in my house all day and like just post an ad and that's the job.

Yeah.

They think you literally have to open up yourself to so much so much scrutiny and like it's such a battle.

And if there's like one or two things in your life that you want to keep private, no, no.

No, bitch, we're going to write an article about it.

Like it's low-key one of the worst fucking jobs.

But I think people would say, like, when you ask kids these days what they want to be, they want to be an influencer.

No.

Girl.

It's so taxing.

And like, you have to be active on social media and like know what people are saying about you in order to like efficiently do your job.

Where it's like, if you're disliked as a celebrity, like you don't even have a phone.

Like if people do that for you, like you can disassociate from the audience, whereas an influencer, you cannot.

Like in order to effectively keep doing your job and paying your bills, like you have to be in it.

And it's so fucking bad for your mental health.

And you don't just, you're not afforded the same liberties and like respect and privacy that traditional celebrities are.

And traditional celebrities don't care that like there's a page six.

Oh, look, her house.

And it has her address on it because they literally live in like gated communities with round-the-clock surveillance and security guards for their kids.

And celebrity influencers don't have that.

Yeah.

But like their addresses are constantly being posted in like Facebook groups.

It's so fucked up.

Yeah.

And like if you find yourself in a position like sharing an influencer's address and being like, this is public information.

It's, you need help.

Like, you need to seriously get the fuck off the internet.

Like, if you want to find a way to justify putting up someone's address on a public forum, especially if that person has kids, like, you're sick.

You're literally twisted and not okay.

And like, you need to seriously seek help.

Yeah, I can't believe this is the way the conversation is going, but justice for influencers?

Question?

Justice for, no, by the way, and there's like a huge anti-influencer movement on TikTok specifically.

Rutt row.

And it's just, I don't agree with it at all.

What are their points?

And by the way, there's like horrible influencers for sure, but there's horrible people in every fucking.

There's horrible accountants, okay?

So when did that become like accountants are the worst, you know?

Right.

Down with accountants.

Yeah.

And like this overall just like hatred of influencers, I think is deeply rooted in jealousy for sure.

Because like to be an influencer, you have to, to be a successful influencer, you have to be like charismatic.

You have to have something.

And you have to be funny.

You have to be interesting.

You have to be beautiful.

Like you have to be something.

And as we've stated, like you show the highlight reel of your life.

So like a lay person just looks at that and it's like their life is perfect.

And that inspires jealousy, but they also don't see all the negative things because that's not the job.

No, and then if you do open yourself up to the hard parts of the job, you're ungrateful.

You're complaining.

It's like, oh, okay, I'll go back to being miserable and only showing the highlights and being accused of glorifying my life.

Right.

It's literally the worst job.

Like, and I feel like you and I have definitely had private conversations about how we've definitely tried to be influencer-y less.

Yeah.

More of like podcaster, comedian, book club, mom.

Like,

because the typical influencer, like, swipe swipe up, swipe up, and that's like your whole life is so toxic.

And it's so draining.

And, like,

in order to be a successful, like, content creator, and like your whole job is content on Instagram, TikTok, like, you have to be extremely strong, which most people are not because they're so young, too.

Right.

They're getting younger and younger.

Right.

And like, you're just forced to like read these horrible things about you and like people you love and care about.

Like, it's really fucked up.

Yeah.

Damn.

And you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

Like, I saw, I'm not going to name because I like her.

She like was just people, someone was like, why haven't you posted anything, Roe v.

Wade?

And she's like, first of all, shut up.

Second of all, like, I literally have.

That's the other thing.

Like, even with me, like, I posted a couple things.

Like, the second they expired, so disappointed.

Oh, yeah.

Shut up.

Like, sorry, you're not active on social media.

Like, I've literally posted throughout the weekend.

They literally just expired.

Give me a fucking break.

Yeah.

Give me one fucking second.

No, but like.

It's so, it's so like crazy that people absolutely need every single influencer to post the same thing that like is meaningless Is meaningless.

It's not indicative of like real action or real change.

And it's like, I would feel better knowing an influencer I follow did nothing but call their local representative and I didn't know about it.

Right.

And posting some fake ass Canva pro graphic.

Like, it's so disingenuous, but we, as a culture, we become obsessed with keeping tally.

Yeah.

Okay, this person must care more than this person because they posted three times, but they only posted once.

It's also weird how the mob only cares about select things like and ignores 99% of like other egregious things that happen every single day.

But if you didn't talk about these five things at the beginning, labeled X.

Yeah, the day we decided you needed to talk about them.

It's like, what?

That's not how the world works.

That's also just not how like discourse and human beings work.

And I feel like when you're in it, you're like, well, of course I have to post about it.

Otherwise, people will think I think this.

Yeah.

But I feel like in the last year, I've kind of like taken a step back from Instagram calls.

You definitely have.

And now I see it and I'm like, this is.

You see it from the Big Bang.

I see it from the Big Bang theory.

And I'm like, this is so crazy the way that everybody feels this pressure and this need to like post about just certain things.

It's not even about like injustice necessarily because there are so many injustices all the time and like they can have like hold this one.

I don't want to like get specific, but like selective outrage.

Select, thank you.

Yes.

I agree.

And like if only the internet like

whatever, I'm not even going to go down that road.

All I was going to say was the lesson here is like just like chill the fuck out on your local influencer.

Like they're probably not doing okay and it's probably because of you.

So like just chill out.

This whole like like it's it's like a joke now like influencer it's like shut up first of all it doesn't surprise me like influencer is like a 95 female dominated business so it's we're obviously just hating women because like they're smart and successful and building businesses for themselves and putting their kids through school by your stupid motherfucking affiliate links so shut up and like just shut up period like shut up if you find like yourself constantly engaging in anti-influencer sentiment like you're jealous and you're a loser yeah and this is not me defending like the there's bad influencers for sure but there's bad people everywhere so like let's just not even do that totally i don't know how we got here, but the lesson is just is for

Jesse James.

Like she's never hurt anyone.

Like leave her alone.

Seriously.

She's just a girl trying to be a singer and as a fellow girl trying to be a singer like I relate.

Yeah, like you didn't get mainstream support for your songs.

It's disgusting.

And imagine if you were putting out songs all the time and like you really couldn't get and like

it's number one on iTunes.

Like why doesn't anyone care?

Like this is proof.

No, it's true.

I will say I went through like a a stage in my life that I often forget about where I was obsessed with Jesse and Eric Decker was during their show.

Like their wedding photo was my Facebook cover photo.

You know, and like when she sang to him at their wedding, like, I thought that was stunning.

Now, like, people make fun of it.

Oh, that's so mean.

People are so fucking mean.

I thought that was like the most beautiful.

Like, it used to make me cry, I think.

Um, what is her like song?

Like, the one that, like, when she was because when she's a reality show star, but before that, she was like an up and coming.

I look so good without you.

I look so good without you.

You know, that's got me your new hair.

Do you feel

brand new?

Since you you said that we've been through.

You know that one.

And also, I wear in my blue jeans.

Sway in my blue jeans.

Is it a wrap?

No.

I thought she was a country artist.

And it's also in the Confessions of a Shopaholic movie.

What's like the one?

Like,

hold on, just give me a second.

I know, like, nobody cares, but just give me one second.

The one is, I look so good without you.

I really believe.

Oh, is it?

I really believe.

But oh, the new one that she just came out with that I see on TikTok is really good.

Shoulda known better.

Better than a break, my heart.

Actually, she just came out I need to get more into Jesse James.

I could not get it out of my head.

Shoulda known better than a break my heart.

Wanted?

Oh, yeah.

Only one be wanted by you.

Yeah, it was giving, like, it was giving Jessica Simpson.

Yeah, no, they're very similar.

Oh, my God.

She also has an Old Town Road version.

Yeah, I just saw that.

Okay, we'll have to get into her catalog later.

But yeah, like, just back off of it.

Back off of everyone.

Like, everyone is just doing their best.

Like, back off.

Yeah.

And if you ever, like, I just can't stress this enough.

If you ever find yourself on like a Reddit or like forum like bashing people, like

you're not okay.

Put the phone down.

Put the phone down.

Go for a run.

I feel like I should.

Sorry, like, go have a snack.

I should say again, like, if you don't like how people are using their platform, build your own.

Or so simple.

Or just like quietly disengage.

You can't.

Some people can't.

No, it's not an airport.

Like, your departure does not need to be announced.

Like, just go.

Damn.

I didn't make that up.

That's like a common phrase.

I never heard it.

So to me, it's like

spitting.

I thought it was so poignant it's like this isn't an airport you don't have to announce your departure like we don't care leave

go go to sleep you're crazy

this coffee's so good

i'm gonna bring you coffee every day now yeah or we could just like get it here oh and actually we could because we have a fridge and we don't need anybody we should have an ice machine we should get a crushed ice machine we should prime day's coming up Okay.

And it's like, it's expensive.

We should wait for it to go on sale.

Okay.

Great idea.

Great idea.

I would love that.

Are you ready for our next story, which is some amazing news that I think just you and I care about?

Which story is it?

Number?

Number three.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Jesse James took up all this time.

Yeah.

Just some positive news that I think you and I care about.

Hopefully, some other people do.

But Lillianne Harrison is pregnant, expecting her first baby with Peter Facinelli.

Right.

We didn't care till the end.

Obsessed.

Obsessed.

Obsessed.

The fact that there's a woman out there who is married to and carrying the child of Peter Facinelli fills me with rage, jealousy, but also joy that he has found love in his life and he's going to be a dad.

And we're going to have like little Facinellis running around.

It's too much.

Lil Foch.

Lil Foch.

If you don't know who Peter Facinelli is,

what are you doing?

Educate yourself.

Educate yourself.

Do better.

He is the actor who plays Carlisle

Cullen.

Cullen.

Oh my God, thank you.

Dr.

Carline.

Dr.

Cullen from Twilight, and he's literally the hottest man alive.

And like, you wouldn't know it from his like...

you know, prosthetics and like hair and makeup in Twilight, but he's so fucking hot.

And I was recently on the Twilight podcast, like literally talking about.

Did the episode come out?

It did.

You never needed to listen to it because you told us everything that happened on the show.

Obviously, you didn't watch it.

Yeah, of the Twilight effect, it's called.

And they were telling me, like, we love Peter.

And they were like, Pete.

And I was like, what I would do to like be on a nickname basis with Peter Facinelli.

I mean, technically, we are on a nickname basis with Peter Facinelli because we call him Lil Fodge.

But it's too.

And also, I think our obsession with him is just his last name because like Dr.

Faceman, Dr.

Facinelli.

Yeah, also our obsession with him was like finding out that Dr.

Carlisle Cullen is like the number one richest fictional character, according to Forbes.

And then he did like this stripped-down shoot in the middle of COVID talking about his COVID weight loss.

And I think

for most people, like COVID didn't go that way, it went the other way.

And it was really gorgeous.

And it just reinvigorated.

Plus, we had been like re-watching Twilight and Dr.

Carlisle and like that scene in the last one when Edward is like, don't spoil it in case.

It's like the biggest thing.

And I also don't want to make this episode too emotional.

Yeah, totally.

It is the biggest twist.

Oh, no, that's not what I was going to say.

Sorry.

Not that.

Thank you for this life you've given us.

Yeah.

Thank you for this extraordinary life.

Oh my God, Sab.

I'm actually going to cry.

I can.

That's like up there with Paddington saying, thanking the queen.

It's also up there with literally my favorite line in Twilight history, his vows.

Right.

No amount of time will ever be enough with you.

But let's start with forever.

Gorgeous.

Because they're literally vampires who live forever, but everyone else is like, oh.

Forever.

He is forever.

So cute.

Also, we're just obsessed with Twilight.

So like that's where the obsession.

You don't have to justify why we want to talk about.

No, but we do have like hundreds of thousands of new listeners here from TikTok.

I don't know if they didn't make it through the first part of this episode.

Maybe they're still not here.

But I just feel like I feel the need to explain myself.

Yeah.

And also, I think like Peter Facinelli and Dr.

Cullen is a character that the older you get, the more you appreciate.

Like I don't even think I really registered him when I first saw Twilight at the age of like 18.

Of course.

But now it's like a grown woman, I recognize and respect the businessman Bo.

That's the part of growing up is realizing, you know, the older characters in your favorite things actually were where it was at 100

and then like even like i'm sure if i went back and watched like sleepover when i was a kid i'm like

jane lynch is so annoying and i'm like actually no she's fucking right you guys are literally 12 years old stay the fuck in your room stay home and yeah she needs a night out at the club with her girly yeah no and it's like oh you're gonna go to a club and drive around you guys are literally 14 right why do you why should you be in the club that she shouldn't right and it's like when i was a kid i'm like oh my god ao her mom's in a club and now i'm like yeah mom get it 100 that's growing up and like get you a man who spends all night fixing the water water filtration system and installing some fresh water.

That's some of his best work.

Yeah.

That's so good.

Evan Peters.

It's all about perspective.

Yeah.

Life is about perspective, I would say.

Yeah.

And if you just look at everything from the lens of the Big Bang Theory, nothing matters.

And that's, takes such a weight.

It's all freeing.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Our exciting athletic news: the next generation of Lakers are here.

The Lakers have signed Scotty Pippen and Shaq's sons, Scotty Pippen Jr.

and Sharif O'Neal.

Obsessed.

Obsessed.

The LA Lakers have signed Sharif O'Neill Scottie Pippen Jr.

to two-way contracts with the team.

Sharif is the son of Shaq, whose jersey was retired by the LA organization in 2013.

He will play for the Purple and Gold during next summer, next month's summer league.

And Larsa Pippin's son, also known as Scottie Pippin's son, will also play for the Lakers as well.

Larsa posted to Instagram about the exciting news for Scottie Pippen Jr.

Kim Kardashian commented.

Huge.

Huge.

Huge.

Let me say how obsessed with this I am because like I love like a like a father's son.

Like I do love a nepotistic moment, but also like in the NBA, like you can't just really get on a team for being someone's son.

Like you have to also be extremely talented.

And so I'd like that they're starting in the summer league, starting at the bottom.

So it's like they're really going to earn their spots while also being like legacy players.

I just, I love everything about this story, especially the came up at all.

Yeah, and that they're playing together and they're playing for like their dad's teams and that like Larsa.

Scotty Pippen.

Oh, I think he was Chicago.

Yeah, and then I think Miami, no, or he just lived there.

No, he's not like that.

Scotty Pippens like a Michael Jordan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So he's not a Laker girly.

No, okay, cool.

But the Lakers are a very cool team.

Totally premium.

Very, honestly, like kind of the most premium.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't think everyone, like, not from a basketball perspective, but more from like a branding perspective.

And now they play at the Crypto stadium.

It's less cool.

It was much cooler when I was a staple center.

Yeah, no, but what would you say is the coolest basketball team if you could go anywhere as a player?

Yeah, like Lakers.

Yes.

But I think it's different for everyone.

Like, I think, like, as a player, the dream would be like to play forever in your hometown, like, where your family is, like, not have to pick up and move every year, you know?

Yeah.

No, but for some players, like, they want to go to LA, they want to go to Miami.

They want to come to New York.

No, they don't want to come to New York.

They can't get on the Knicks.

Oh, my God.

Me and Ben were walking

to the movies, and this guy walked past us, like, kind of cutie.

And Ben was like looking at me.

I'm like, Yeah, he was hot, right?

And Ben's like, No, that's, I had no idea, but like a new player on the Knicks.

And, like, Ben, Ben was like shook.

I'm like, come, let's go.

Like, let me just, I'm sure he gets it all the time.

Like, let's just, he was literally right behind us.

I'm like, let's just go take a picture.

He was like, no.

And he just stood there and stared at him for 15 minutes.

Oh my God.

What?

If Ben had spoken to me, he would have used his charms and Ben would be on the starting five of the Knicks.

Literally, or at least like courtside seats.

But like, Ben would have shown him that three-pointer he scored at the charity tournament.

Ben never gets like shook, shook, or like starstruck.

And he's always the one being like, like, Claudia, just go, like, go talk to this person.

And I was so surprised to see him like actually like quaking.

I'm like, just go.

Like, first of all, he's in New York.

He was literally standing outside Bloomingdale.

He's like, Terrace, he probably gets it 55 times a day.

Like, who cares?

Go.

Then you would have gotten a picture for life.

Ben was like, no, no, no.

I'm like, stop being such a weenie.

Ben would have had a friend for life if he just went and said hi.

The benefact.

The benefact.

Anyways, this is very cute and sweet.

It is.

And Kim's commenting on Larsa's things.

This is good news for Kim-Larsa relations.

What do we think this means?

And it actually kind of validates what Larsa was saying.

Like, we're not not friends, but we're just like not as close as we were.

And like, this is what you do for someone who you're not super close with, like who maybe like had a milestone on Instagram.

And you like share, you like, right, Mauzzle.

Right, right.

But you don't do that for your sworn enemy.

No, and but for your best best friend, you're like, oh my god, God, I knew this day would come.

I've been holding this in forever.

And we know they're not best, best friends anymore, but they're not sworn enemies.

They're not not speaking.

And as Larsa, like, always said, like, our kids are friends.

And, like, this just proves that like they are on decent terms and Larsa wasn't lying on Real House Larsa doesn't lie no I agree and I'm really happy for her like yeah you could tell her kids are like her greatest joy in life yeah

everyone's but like you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah very very cool news cool athletic news our fifth and final story is something so crazy and I absolutely need to get your thoughts on it okay Amazon has revealed that Alexa could soon imitate voices of people's dead loved ones

Amazon is experimenting with a new feature that will allow its Alexa voice assistant to mimic the voice of other people, including the voices of people who have died.

Rohit Prasad, the vice president and head scientist for Alexa Artificial Intelligence, spoke about the relationship between consumers and their virtual assistants during Amazon's Mars conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Quote, one thing that surprised me the most about Alexa is the companionship relationship we have with it.

In this companionship role, human attributes of empathy and affect are key to building trust.

These attributes have become even more important during these times of the ongoing pandemic when so many of us have lost somebody we love.

Then they showed a video of a boy asking Alexa to read a bedtime story using his grandmother's voice.

In the example, Alexa registered the request and switched to the grandmother's voice before reading the story.

As you saw in this experience, instead of Alexa's voice reading the book, it's the kids' grandma's voice.

While AI can't eliminate that pain of loss, it can definitely make their memories last.

I don't have like a visceral reaction yet.

I think we need to like talk it through a little bit before I decide where I land.

Because part of me is like, oh, that's cool.

kind of like.

But it's grandma reading a bedtime story.

Like, how could you, you know, hate it?

Hate that.

And it makes me think of like the hologram Kanye did and like how overwhelmed the girls were.

So part of me is like, yeah.

But then part of me is like, this is fucking weird.

And like, you know, certain things in life are

guaranteed.

Death and grief is one of those things.

And so.

To circumvent.

Well, here's the thing.

I think the idea that, you know, if someone had like a recording of grandma reading their favorite book and they could play it to their grandkid like that's really nice but i think the idea that the artificial intelligence is mimicking human beings and then also like talking about ai being like empathetic like i'm good like alexa just tell me the fucking weather no i agree like i'm leaning towards like this being weird just because it's like AI doesn't need to be so up in our business.

Yeah, and like, I don't know, there's something weird about manufactured like emotion, you know?

And it's not going to stop at bedtime stories.

No, and like the con the example they gave is like the perfect example.

Sweet.

But like that's not what I would be using it for.

Like, I don't know, it just fucking weirds me out, and I can't really explain why.

It weirds me out.

I don't have a rhyme or a reason, I just think it's fucking weird.

Yeah, I just think AI like doesn't need to be your grandmother, yeah.

And like,

I don't know, like, missing your grandmother is part of the human condition, you know?

Do you have Gran's consent to use her voice and likeness?

100%.

Gran's gonna sue you from the grave.

Yeah, it's just like twisted.

Like, let Gran rest.

Yeah, I don't know what she said.

She's read enough bedtime stories.

She's exhausted.

It just weirds me out.

And like,

I don't really see the benefit aside from this literal one example.

Right.

They must have thought for hours about the perfection of the brain.

That's the best perfect example.

Because I can't argue with that.

Of course.

But it's his grandmother.

But I still think the concept is fucking.

He's here.

Here in spirit.

It's creepy.

Yeah.

And honestly, like, obviously, I lost my dad at a young age.

I haven't heard his voice in literally 14 years.

I don't think I want Alexa to show it to me.

Right.

And it's like, Grief is very, you know, finite.

Yeah.

And to add these layers of grief where it's like, okay, you're not here and I miss you, but I can still hear your voice and like you're speaking to me, but Alexa's writing it, but she is going based on your personality because she's AI and she has empathy.

Now it's like, this is too confusing.

Just let the man rest.

Yeah, I do see why they thought this was a good idea because I know a lot of people like will call the voicemail of a loved one to hear their voice.

And, you know, actually, this is so weird.

The other day, I have this app that's literally the best app ever.

And I'm not telling you the name because like I don't want people to know my secret

that you can plug in a phone number and they'll literally tell you who it belongs to.

so i plugged in our dad's cell phone number and like it's been reassigned oh isn't that sad yeah but it's a good number so i know

but like i was thinking of calling it like just being like what's up that would be but then i checked first and it like wasn't registered to michael

damn yeah so that was sad but um i don't think i'll be using the service and i'm okay thank you amazon's like already like a little too literally my doorbell rang do you use alexa do you have one yeah i have um the one with the screen i think it's it's not an echo it's a oh yeah yeah yeah edge but that one doesn't talk Of course, she does.

Oh, she does.

You can play games with her.

I use it.

It's in my bathroom and it plays music when I shower, but it also tracks my Amazon.

So literally, my doorbell ring.

And I could tell, like, based on the doorbell ring, if I need to get up for it or if I don't.

Do you know what I mean?

Right, because also, did you order something that was supposed to be imminent?

Like, no, like, I can hear the service.

door open and close.

So like when the doorbell rings and then the service store closes, I know they just dropped off a package and I don't have to get up.

But if I don't hear that door, I know they're waiting.

And of course I'm going to go get up.

But literally, they drop the package, doorbell rings, and then Alexa's like, Your Amazon delivery has been delivered.

Damn.

It's fucking creepy.

Like,

that also shows very good building efficiency.

Yeah, so I just feel like Amazon's like really up my ass.

Like, I don't think I need them in my grief, you know?

Yeah.

I think I'm going to drop them.

I don't need them in the grave.

Yeah.

And you know me, like, I will sell my soul to Amazon just to get something slightly more conveniently.

This, I'm not into.

Yeah.

No.

A hair too far.

So those were the past five stories, and I definitely feel as though you needed to know every single one one of them.

Yeah.

And now we're going to dive into Unburden Yourselves, which is our advice segment.

Every Monday, you can write us unburdenyourselves at gmail.com.

We'll keep it anonymous when you tell us something embarrassing you did that's like weighing on you, you know?

Of course.

And we just try to help you work through it and let it go.

So Unburden Yourselves is brought to you by the Green Pet Shop.

If you're like us and you talk about your pets as if they're human beings, hashtag LARP.

Summer is officially here and the risks of heat stroke in our pets is hot, humid weather.

I'm sorry, sorry, I'm starting again.

I botched.

Okay, but make sure to include hashtag LARP again.

If you're like us and you talk about your pets as if they're human beings, hashtag LARPing, and you treat them as your children, listen up.

Summer's officially here, and the risk of heat stroke in our pets in hot, humid weather is treacherous and terrifying.

So, the Green Pet Shops patented an award-winning cool pet pad is a self-activated gel.

It's a gel-cooling mat that keeps your pet cool for hours.

It's pressure-activated, so once your dog or cat lays on the pad, they start feeling the cooling effects instantly.

Plus, these mats are eco-friendly.

They have no water, no refrigeration, and no electricity needed.

You just grab it and go.

So my mother-in-law is always sending me like little articles like to beware of Theo's paw pads on the hot concrete in the city.

And she's totally right.

It's like a thing people don't think about because obviously you maybe put your dogs in shoes during the winter, but it's just as dangerous in the summer.

And especially with us going away for this weekend, the dogs are going to be spending so much time outside.

And we just leave them outside and they lay.

And it's so much better for the dogs.

Like water, we give them ice cubes, but there's more that you can be doing, especially for their their feet.

You can add a fashion flair to your order with a pink or a gray cover for your cooling mat and a pack of Pouis Vuitton eco-waste bags.

Puy Vuitton are the thickest, strongest, and most stylist eco-waste bags on the market.

They're made from cornstarch instead of plastic, and you and your dog are doing your part to protect the planet.

Pouis Vuitton, the number one bag for number two.

To shop the cool pet pad and the Pouie Vuitton eco-waste bags, use Code Toast for 20% off at thegreenpetshop.com.

That's code toast at thegreenpetshop.com.

I have the the Pouie Vuitton toast.

They're so cute, and Bruce won't shit in anything else.

I believe he's not a designer and not interested.

I believe this is a toaster-owned brand because at my Chicago meet and greet, they gave me like a lifetime supply of Pouis Vuitton bags.

Love that.

All right, ready to unburden?

Yes.

Hey, Jackson Claude.

Hi.

I need to unburden myself big time.

I'm a nurse practitioner and work with some really sweet older adults I see on a weekly basis.

I recently had a baby, and of course, when I came back to work after maternity leave, all my patients wanted me to show them pictures of my precious new baby.

I was showing a sweet older man some recent photos.

Oh, God, what did you do?

And was swiping through and accidentally swiped to an up-close breastfeeding photo.

Oh, forgive yourself.

My entire boob was out, and I immediately snatched my phone away, but I know he saw.

I turned bright red and just stuttered and left the room.

I'm mortified.

How can I ever face this man again?

Sincerely, a girl who never is going to show a picture of herself at work again.

Okay, like you need to forgive yourself because if you're a breastfeeding mama, like you realize that a tit isn't even like a sexual organ, it's just a thing that makes milk and there's like nothing.

Nothing weird about it.

Yeah, like you're just showing like your stove

literally when you showed a picture of your microphone

it's literally a fridge no and the benefit I guess of you working with older people is like they're not immature like booby like if they're old they maybe had kids like they saw their wife breastfeed like they're more mature I don't think this is a big deal at all.

Yeah, like you have so much more on your plate.

And you're a nurse, like you know bodies.

Like it's really not a big deal.

Just forgive yourself, move on.

I'm sure this man, old man, is understanding.

I thought it was going to be, you know, like a penis picture or something, but like, no, you probably like had to send a picture to your doctor like

you can't worry about this no and nor should you also another benefit of working with the senile is that they're so forgetful so tomorrow it won't be an issue so you can officially let it go yeah next up hey claudia and jackie thanks for always keeping me laughing now let me unmy burden i have two adorable dogs one is large furry breed and the other is a small terrier mix the big dog was at the groomer and i was going to pick him up I always bring the small dog along with me.

I'm standing in the lobby with my small dog waiting for them to bring the bigger dog out.

And for context, I work as a veterinarian and I'm in my scrubs.

I just came from work.

So I'm used to dog stuff and I'm used to like gross stuff.

I'm the only one in the lobby as the only girl at the desk went to go get my dog.

I look down at my small dog and there's a poop nugget next to him.

My small dog had pooped in the lobby and I'm immediately embarrassed.

I don't even think.

I bend down to grab the nugget barehanded and I put it in my pocket.

I look around for a trash can and there's none in sight.

What?

I'm standing there with poop in my pocket.

The lady comes back out with my bigger dog and I leave.

I get to my car, reach in my pocket, and pull out the poop and throw it in the grass.

How disgusting.

I hope that place doesn't have cameras.

Sincerely, a dedicated and embarrassed dog mom.

I mean, that's so dedicated of you and so unnecessary.

Like, if this is a dog grooming place, they clearly have the mechanisms to pick up dog poops.

Your dog is not the only dog who took a massive dump in this lobby, and you should be grateful it wasn't your big dog.

It was a tiny, little, cute little

rocks poop.

It was a small rocks.

It was clearly rocks because it was still intact after being in your pocket.

Like, some of Bryce's poops, like, they turned to mush.

I just feel like you went out of your way to be, like, overly gracious and embarrassed, when honestly, it's a dog grooming place.

Like, I'm sure that's a good thing.

that's even worse.

They express anal glands.

Yeah, like you really didn't need to do that.

And that it makes you look like a really nice, you know, I would want you as a customer in my business.

Like, you're extremely gracious, but like, you really didn't have to be.

Yeah.

Or like, there literally wasn't a tissue anywhere.

But a poop bag.

Like, it's a dog place.

Yeah.

Like, I understand if you were in, you know, the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Or like a Target.

You know, it's not nice to like...

Same thing.

No, like, if you're in Target, like,

and your dog takes a shit, like, you can't just leave like you have to end up with like you could get like a tissue or something but like and I feel like at Target they have mechanisms where you could clean up a mess, clean up some make.

But maybe at the Met they didn't and like you're you know

Had to pick it up with your hand.

Sure.

I just think like you went above and beyond when you really didn't need to.

I agree.

But you shouldn't be embarrassed at all because you do forgive yourself because like the only person you hurt was yourself.

Yeah, which is amazing when it comes to unburdening yourselves because you can forgive yourself.

You're not in control of other people.

Yeah.

This third and final one is so funny, okay?

To my two favorite sisters and King Charles Cavalier dog moms.

Brass and Strassen.

I absolutely love your show.

I look forward to it every day, and you bring me such joy.

Last week, I was in a busy Starbucks in downtown Boston getting a midday pick-me-up.

I saw this adorable King Charles Cavalier and beeline to it.

Of course, Brass and Strassen.

Relatable.

I started talking to the owner and knelt down, and the dog jumped on my knees in the vicinity of my crotch.

I immediately said, I bet he smells my kitty cat.

She kind of looked at me weird, but I didn't think anything of it.

I walked away and realized this woman doesn't know I have a real-life cat that I'm obsessed with.

And she might have thought I was referring to my vagina.

I couldn't stop laughing and now I can't stop thinking about it.

It would have been better if I just said cat, of course, but I said kitty cat like a lunatic.

If she knew how obsessed I was with my cat, it would have made more sense.

Of course.

Anyway, XOXO, you're a loyal fan and fellow pet mom enthusiast.

That's just really funny.

Unfortunate.

And the good thing about it being an interaction with a stranger is like you literally will never see this person again.

There's no need to be embarrassed.

And at least you learned this lesson with a stranger, not, you know, someone when you work with or anything where you need to clear things up.

But that is so hysterical.

And no, because you basically you're basically like, oh, I bet he smells my pussy.

Because that's also a word for cat.

Right.

And I think we live in a culture that's really sick and twisted.

Like you can't say kitty cat without thinking of vagina.

And we need to all like understand the world we live in.

But also if the dog was like going for her vagina.

Right.

No, if the dog was like smelling her arm, like licking her arm, she would be like, no, but if the dog was going for her vagina and she said, oh, we must smell my cat, like no one would have thought anything of it.

Like, this is the lesson here.

You have to take a lesson away from every situation where you have to unburden yourself.

And the lesson is you will never refer to your cat as a kitty cat ever again.

Yeah.

Do you think if she said, Oh, I may, he probably smells my kitty?

Oh, no.

No, because kitty is also vagina.

What's with the parallel between cats and vaginas?

How every word for cat can be also used for vagina?

What's the connection?

I don't know.

Kitty, kitty cat, pussy, pussycat.

Pussycat.

You gotta say my feline, so there's no confusion.

Yeah, my domesticated pet named Laurel, or whatever your dog's name.

That sounds like your vagina.

Yeah.

That sounds like your vagina.

I would, though, like, love an explanation on the parallels between names for your vagina and names for your cat.

I don't know if I'm missing it, but like, drop it in the comments.

Yeah.

Like, why is that?

Maybe it's just because, like, of the puss of it all.

Like, there's just, like, crossover.

So then everything else crosses over.

I don't know.

No, I really don't know.

But I never really thought long and hard about it.

But now that I am, I'm perplexed.

Positively perplexed.

Thank you to everyone who was vulnerable with us.
