Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast and happy hump day.

It doesn't feel like your average hump day.

Well, that's because maybe not for you, but like some of us have to fast tomorrow.

So I don't know, maybe this week is just feeling off for some of us.

This week is feeling so full of promise for me because, you know, I'm in my 10 days.

I'm reflecting.

I'm repenting.

Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to really diving into the Yom.

You know, no phone.

I might even do no TV.

I might just do book just to make it a little harder on myself because I'm not fasting.

So for those who don't know, tomorrow is Yom Kippur, which is the Day of Atonement.

For us Jews, we must fast

whilst we atone for our sins, though pregnant ladies need not fast.

And suddenly, I'm feeling a kick.

Is that a child?

Yeah, no, I have to fast.

And usually, like, we're commiserating together about, you know, the nasty breath of everyone in Shul.

And I'll just be doing that by myself this year.

And you've abandoned me, just like everyone else.

I'll be waking up, having breakfast, having lunch.

And then I'm actually going to be hosting the break fast, which I'm really excited about.

And it works out for everyone else because no one else has to go through the torture of preparing a meal while they're fasting.

It's only fair that you host the break fast.

I just want to say, for the last two years, I have hosted the break fast.

And part of it is torture, but it's something to do, you know?

Like, instead of just looking out the window, thinking about, you know, how you're a terrible person and how hungry you are, it's something you're slicing tomatoes, like it's something.

And honestly, I would say 98% of the shit that is served at a bagel breakfast break fast, I like gag at.

Like, I was like unboxing like herring and tuna, and like, honestly, it was making me not hungry.

Like, it's disgusting.

The cutting of the bagels and toasting them, like that will kill you.

Yeah, but I don't know, the egg salad slashing around in the container, you know what?

You're good, I think I could fast another day.

Is there any requests that you have for the break fast?

I'm so fucking glad you asked.

I'm taking requests.

Okay, can we please?

I know everyone loves like a diverse bag of bagels.

And don't get me wrong, I do too.

But let's be real.

Like, the plain ones go the fastest because everyone loves a plane.

Plane?

Yeah.

Nobody likes a plane.

Nobody.

I wouldn't have even gotten a plane if you hadn't mentioned it.

Why?

You're the only one who would go for a plane bagel.

Well, get a bunch because I'll take some home.

Fine.

Like, a lot.

I want like an overflowing of bagels.

Okay.

And I know everyone likes, let's get a cinnamon raisin.

Like, stick with like poppy, sesame, like a nice of the base, the

regulars okay snitch and i both are gonna have cinnamon raisin as dessert bagels of course but like

flavorless bagels just as for the flavorless bagels like okay everything is good of course when i break i just want like a plain or even a poppy seed that tastes like nothing or a sesame really tastes like nothing like something a good base that's what i'll say okay that's fine now if i walk into your home and I see Philadelphia cream cheese, I just want to let you know I'm leaving.

Well, you're going to see it because it's the premier cream cheese, But you will also see Temp Tea.

Okay.

Because...

Let's just rewind.

Did you say it's the Premier Cream Cheese?

Philadelphia cream cheese is the only cream cheese worth cheesing with cream.

Wow, I'm shocked.

I know that you like that.

They have a really good scallion cream cheese.

I like all of theirs.

Temp tea is so disgusting.

Oh my God.

I think cream cheese that is not whipped literally deserves death.

Jail to them all.

So crazy.

But you know what?

Different strokes for different folks.

I'm going to have every cream cheese.

And I'm going to also have fresh cream cheese.

Okay.

Also, I know, I don't know if you're going to be doing this, but I really prefer to eat off a paper plate.

Okay.

That's just me.

And honestly, beverages are also really important.

I just placed a large beverage order, but do you have?

I think like sparkling water is probably of the utmost importance that day because I'll be like super dehydrated.

I have the one that I always have.

But you know, I'd like to indulge in like a little diet Pepsi.

Oh, okay.

I didn't place that order.

Okay, okay.

And then let's move on to dessert.

Because, I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there.

A carvell cake.

I'm just throwing it out there.

It could be a small, personal-sized one.

I think we can make that work.

Because, like, this is a special meal, and I'm not really into like the traditionally Jewish desserts.

Like, how many times can we have ragalach, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

Except, Olivia got those baba bites that I wouldn't mind eating again.

They were so good, but for me, at Yom Kippur, the dessert is a cinnamon raisin bagel with Biscoff cookie butter on top, and a little jelly.

Doesn't that just sound like something?

I'm so excited.

Like, I think I'm gonna have a bagel today for lunch, and today's like my last day on Earth.

So, what are you having for dinner?

i don't know and like ben's going to shool so like i have to eat by myself could i entice you to some homemade popardelli handmade popardelli handmade popardelli

popardelli i hate you

handmade popardelli that i made at home no i need something from a restaurant like it tasted restaurant quality i'm sure it did but i need i'm thinking either like a serafina moment

or oh my god i'm so nervous i can't believe like the day is upon us.

We talk about it all year long, and it's like literally tomorrow, and I am looking forward to the year for young people.

Do you see the new

I didn't?

Oh, I saw it.

Sunday Night Football?

The new Sunday Night Football.

They use the new Mandalorian technology.

It was looking really good.

It wasn't Browns versus Jets,

but it was good.

So they don't copy and paste like the songs, like the teams anymore?

No, they do, but when we were going through it,

it was a sample.

This particular game.

That wasn't the particular game, but no.

And I found out, thank you for everyone for letting me know.

She records every combination.

I think she recorded every team name in each trope and they put them together.

But she records every game that's going to happen.

She sits there and she records.

I would love to sit in on that session.

Not all heroes wear capes, you guys.

But actually, Carrie Underwood does.

Yeah.

So yeah, like I'm looking forward to feeling lighter.

Like on Friday, I feel like I'm going to have like a renewed sense of energy.

And I've just been feeling kind of heavy this last week because it's that's what you're supposed to do just reflect and when I reflect and I look inside and I see me for what I truly am which is ugly it doesn't make me feel good so I'm looking forward to rolling my eyes the forward way looking forward after Yom Kippur and focusing on other people's problems not mine great okay well it sounds like you have a plan

and obviously that means there will be no show tomorrow but just know we will be repenting and

wishing we were at the show wishing yeah except I'm looking forward to sleeping in a little.

Yeah, me too.

I've been sleeping good this week, like some good pregnancy sleep.

Oh, that's thank you for reminding me.

I wanted to tell you, if you come near me, like I smell today.

I had the craziest night of like tossing, turning, waking up for some reason, drenched in sweat.

And I woke up because I was so exhausted.

I woke up so late.

I should have taken like a body shower because like I was just like, I was literally doing the marathon in my sleep, like an elliptical.

I reek.

Okay.

Just a word to the wise.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah.

What do you think was keeping you up?

I don't know because I can't remember my dreams, but I fell asleep really fast.

I was having deep, like psychological dreams.

He was a psychological thriller.

Literally.

And that's where I'm at.

Okay, well, I think we should get into everything because we've got a lot to do today and we've got a lot to talk about.

So without further ado, who's here?

Don't worry about him.

By the way, before we dive into the stories, can you tell everyone about your experience watching Lula Rue?

Yes, I was going to wait till the end of the show for a content segment.

Oh, okay, so let's do that.

But I

like that idea.

Okay, cool, cool.

Our first story, big news, Time 100 Most Influential People List is out, and Megan and Harry are on the cover.

There's a lot of other influential people inside, but chef Jose Andres wrote a short essay essay about the pair.

You know how everybody like writes about someone else, just like J-Lo wrote about Charlie, as we saw on Hulu.

So now after watching the D'Amelio show, I feel like I have a whole new perspective on this

list.

And I just find it interesting.

This is not me being a hater, but probably is me being a hater.

I do find it interesting how 16-year-old Charlie D'Amilio had the wherewithal, you know, like not to make it about herself.

You know, there's like, real activists and doctors and scientists doing amazing work and she didn't want to, you know, she was honored to be on the list, but she didn't want to like make it about herself.

And then Harry and Megan just waltzed right on the cover.

I just want to say, I think it's a different list because they were saying it was like an inspiring list.

No, it was influence.

It was influence.

Yeah.

But it was a different time of year.

And then like, that was filmed at the beginning of this year.

I don't know.

I don't know if it's the exact same list.

Okay.

That's all I'll say.

I just like.

That is an interesting point.

I mean.

Yeah, I don't want to be a hater.

Megan and Harry are, you know, Megan and Harry.

And there are a lot of things, and they're, you know, so high profile and like everything they do is news.

I don't know that I would say that they're so influential.

That's what I was going to say as well.

They're A-list and they're

incredibly recognizable.

But like they have a podcast.

Have any of you listened to it?

They have a children's book.

Have any of you purchased it?

I know.

And he has a show on Apple Plus.

Has any of you watched it?

I'm not saying nobody's watching it, but I'm just saying like I don't know people who are like thoroughly influenced by them.

Or like they're the number one most influential like on the cover.

No, I completely agree.

And honestly, if they were buried somewhere down there, I wouldn't really think about it.

I'd be like, yeah, they're big stars, sure.

Because there's a lot of people on the list.

I'm not going to go through how influential every single one of them is.

Did the show even come out yet?

I've heard not a lick about it.

I think that it did come out.

No, you're right.

Like their podcast launched and then everyone was like, oh my God, then nobody cared.

Like, it's just like a lot of hoopla for everything they do.

Yeah.

And nobody really like follows through, except for with the Oprah interview, because like that was.

Right, but then it's like, okay, that's not influenced by the.

And the most interesting thing about them is that they're royal defects.

Right.

And if they're not talking about the royal family, like, are people listening?

Right.

No, so I agree.

So then they go back to talking about the royal family, and it's like, all you do is talk about the royal family.

Right.

So, like, is this the list of like famous people?

Who else is on the list?

Okay, it's a really long list.

There's obviously the different categories.

So we'll go through

relevant categories and people.

So we have, what is this one?

Oh, icons is one.

Naomi Osaka.

Very influential.

Alexi Navalmi.

Oh, Megan McCain's always tweeting about him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

But it seems influential.

Britney Spears.

Very influential.

Dolly Parton.

Oh, Moderna, yeah.

Yeah, and then there's a lot of other people, but I'm just going through like celebrities.

Then in the Pioneers category, we have Billie Eilish.

Incredibly influential.

Sunny Lee.

I'm happy she's there.

Me too.

I guess, yeah, no, she actually inspired.

She's very inspiring.

Her story, I take, yep, she's influential.

In the Titans category, We have Simone Biles, I mean, extremely influential.

She honestly should have been on the cover, if we're being honest.

Tim Cook, sure, yeah, Shonda Rhimes, of course, Tom Brady, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Then there seems like there's a lot of people who feel like they would be on it every year.

Like, Elon Musk is on this list.

Well, yeah, he's influencing every year, no?

Constantly raising the bar for all of us.

Artists, so that's really like the celebrity category.

Kate Winslet,

that's incredibly bizarre.

But I guess her show, Mayor of East Town influenced this year.

That's true.

Okay, okay.

Still pretty random.

Yeah, Bad Bunny, 100%.

Sure.

Chloe Zhao.

I don't know who that is.

Jason Sudakis.

He's having a moment.

Well, Ted Lasso, and then I think maybe they just put him on this list because they feel bad for him.

Because of Olivia Wilde.

Wouldn't you?

Isn't he dating someone, though?

Yeah, like a model, you know, child, you know.

Okay.

Scarlett Johansson.

I think, like, with Black Widow, and I guess, yeah, that's definitely a stretch.

I think.

I know, but like there are so many celebrities walking this earth and like these just don't feel like the biggest ones to me.

But in terms of influence, is this a list of the most famous people?

There's more.

Like Lil Nas, yes.

A hundred percent.

Bowen Yang, your fave.

Oh, and he's influencing SNL.

And by the way, he's doing such important work, like bringing SNL into the 21st century.

Yeah.

Tracy Ellis Ross.

Yes.

Blackish is huge.

Daniel Kaluya.

Yes.

Kane Brown.

Yes.

Yes.

So that's, there's other people in the category, but those are like the most famous people.

Then there's a bunch of leaders who are politicians.

Then

innovators.

So that's like Elon Musk and other innovators who I don't recognize.

And that seems to be the list.

Yeah.

So honestly, like, I would love some, and I feel like we say this when we report on this list a lot.

Like,

what is the point of this list?

Like,

because honestly, like, like, if it's a roundup of famous people, then yes, Harry and Megan were probably the most famous thing, the biggest deal to happen in the last, you know.

In 2021, like, who else would you put on the cover?

Right.

But if we're talking about influence, like, you're right.

Like, all these deals they keep getting, like, it's huge news.

Like, she's going to voice over for Disney Plus.

And then it's like, no one cares.

Yeah.

So all these projects are huge headlines.

And then in actuality, does anybody actually care about the content they're making?

I don't think anyone listens to their podcast.

Yeah.

I don't even know if they're still doing the podcast right now.

Right.

So, in terms of influence, in the way that we understand influence in this day and age, Harry and Megan are not influential, but they're really famous.

Yes, I agree.

Now I'm looking to see who's been on other covers.

Yeah.

Oh, then in 2019, it was, um, there was three covers.

Dwayne Johnson, Taylor Swift, Sandra O.

Oh, I remember that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I felt strongly.

Oh, actually, it looks like there was like a bunch of covers, but that's just one.

Okay, like 2018.

Like, honestly, Charlie should have been on the cover.

No, because that's what I'm saying.

like if we're talking about modern influence

or like, I don't know, someone who had an amazing scientific breakthrough for, you know, the cure for cancer.

I don't know.

Like,

I'm just struggling to understand what and who Harry and Megan influenced this year, or just like in general.

Yeah.

Maybe like the American public about

what the royal family did to them.

I don't know.

Like, I'm not understanding the influence.

Right.

I'm not under the influence.

I'm not under the influence either, but it's so hard to get me under there.

But once I am,

I'm sold.

Lula Rue.

I'm buying leggings.

You guys, Jackie, we're going to discuss it in the TV recap.

Jackie has the most interesting take on the Lula Rue.

Lula Row, you keep calling it Lula Rue.

So now I'm thinking.

If I was you, I'd wanna wear Lula Row.

I'd wanna wear Lula Row.

I'd wanna wear Lula Rowe.

Roo.

By the way, it sounds better if it's Lula Rue.

I know.

But that was a song from the documentary.

Anyways, that's Time 100.

Check it out.

Or don't.

It is what it is.

Or don't.

Like, nobody cares.

And it's also weird that like there's a, like, the list is called the influentialist.

And, like, being an influencer is actually a job.

Right.

And there are people on this earth who are influencers, who are influential, who are not on this list.

Like, where is even just one podcaster?

One influencer.

Like, even.

Joe Rogan.

Kiara Frogney.

Joe Rogan.

Yeah.

That's actually really weird.

Yeah.

Because if we're talking about influence, like people, like I remember when I was watching some episode like

I forget who it was whatever like maybe it was Bernie Sanders like people because of Joe Rogan like his numbers went up like tenfold like that's actual influence yes yes that's actual influence I guess the podcasters on this list are Megan and Harry oh thank you so much for correcting me I stand corrected yeah no that is really weird or even influencers like just one even yeah Like honestly, Simon Navy's really influential.

Like her business is blowing up.

Rach Parcell?

Honestly, like just on my personal time 100, Rach Parcel's on the cover.

Oh my God, we should do like a Patreon episode of our personal time 100.

People who are actually influential.

Influences me to buy things and like think about something.

That also just launches like a really interesting conversation about influencers because, and this is like my favorite thing to talk about because like you could be an influencer with like millions of followers and have no influence.

Yeah.

You could start your own line of clothing and you could have no customers.

Or you could be like an Instagram influencer with like 400,000 followers.

I feel like Shannon Ford is like the most influential like person on Instagram.

And she doesn't have multi-millions.

So it's not even about followers.

It's really about influence.

And not everyone has that.

It's so true.

And I could, but I won't like rattle off people who have no influence.

But just now I have like a list in my head.

Well, we should do a Patreon episode about our time, our Toast 100 most influential.

Totally.

Totally.

Toastally.

Okay, next up, switching gears, comedians are reacting to the tragic death of SNL star Norm McDonald.

Norm McDonald's unexpected death from cancer at the age of 61 has brought an outpouring of remembrances from fellow comics and actors on social media.

From Jim Carrey, Patton Oswald, Seth Rogan, Jim Gaffigan.

Everybody's talking about Norm.

He

was struggling privately with a nine-year battle with cancer.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Yes, and he passed away.

Well, now that he's in the news, like my, I was getting like things on TikTok of him, and it made me want to watch his episode of Comedians in Cars.

Oh, for sure.

Because there was like this really quick clip with him and Jerry talking about Bill Cosby, and it's very, you know, not appropriate, but it was so funny.

Oh, that's so funny.

I was seeing like a bunch of like quotes of his going around or like video clips from like his time on SNL and other stuff.

And it definitely, like, that sounds like a great episode to watch to get to know the man a bit better.

And then it got me thinking, like, when is the next season of Comedians in Cars?

It's been a while.

And yeah, I mean, comedy is more personal than food, so these things take time.

Shut up.

I mean, if you need to- You don't make the rules.

You need to.

I don't make the rules.

No.

Jerry is told he has to say it once per episode, or he won't be able to do the show.

Or he won't get paid.

Or he won't get paid.

Yeah.

What's your favorite episode of Comedians and Cars?

Ooh, I don't.

I haven't watched as many as you have.

Okay.

Well, I'm very selective.

Like, if I don't know the person, I won't watch the episode.

Yeah.

I have to think of just the episodes that I have watched, but I do feel like there's like a...

an obvious answer that I just can't.

I think, can I say it for you?

I think I know what yours.

It's Tracy Morgan.

Oh, that is a great answer.

That's really good.

So is the Jim Gaffigan one.

Yeah.

But you're such a Jim Gaffigan girly.

I am.

You know, I met him once on a plane.

Kevin Hart is also really good.

Oh, yeah.

And he's a fave of mine.

Yeah, and Dave Chappelle did one, too, but it was kind of serious.

Yeah.

Dave Chappelle is serious.

So the Steve Harvey one was so serious.

Oh, yes.

You forget that, like, especially like Steve Harvey, who's done so much.

He started in comedy, but now I just assume, I think of him as like, you know, the guy who announced the wrong Miss Universe.

Like, he's so many other things Family Feud the Steve Harvey Show But he started in stand-up and he is so funny and the Kate McKinnon one is really funny too.

Yes, it is that honestly most of them are funny.

Honestly I could go back and watch some like I feel like it's been so long but he like did all the comedians.

Yeah, the Larry David one is interesting because they're both trying to like out Larry each other.

It's a Larry off.

They have like the same like dry no because like he's Seinfeld because of like Seinfeld is Larry and Larry is Larry.

So like they're both like competing like talking about like how comedy is more personal than food.

Have you been seeing like Harry?

Not Harry, Larry has been like out and about.

He went to the U.S.

Open.

I saw him at Fashion Week.

And he went to the U.S.

Open and was like plugging his ears because it was so loud.

It was like so Larry.

And it just got me thinking like where's the season?

Yeah, they keep saying that, you know, Curb, it's the final season and then there's another season.

Well, because moronic shit keeps happening in the world.

Like, how could Larry not do a season on COVID?

Like, it's his dream to stay in the house.

yeah

loved it well it hasn't come out yet but I will love it I know I will for sure okay you ready for our next story which is a little like Met Gala follow-up some things have like emerged not a lot but one Justin Bieber and Haley Baldwin have were taunted with a Selena chant at the Met Gala okay I saw this

yes and I feel like I've went on a rant before about like people who like literally are mourning the loss of a relationship that wasn't theirs from five years ago.

Yeah.

And how I just want to say I think they're enormous losers.

I think, so basically they got out of the car, they walked onto the carpet, and people were across the street, like lining up for days, and they were just chanting, Selena, Selena, when Justin and Haley are trying to take photos.

Right.

And I just want to let you know, like, if you were there and you participated in the chant, just know, like, I hate you.

Not even because like I'm a Haley Stan versus Selena.

Like, you're a grown person.

If you're old enough to get, like.

get yourself to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you know, like you're probably not there with your parents.

Like you probably came with your friends.

So like you're mature enough to travel in the city by yourself, and you're chanting about Selena Gomez to another couple who's very happily in love.

Married,

you are a loser, and you should reflect, look inside yourself, and be like, Why?

It's it's you know, it's right before Yom Kippur.

You should ask God, God, why am I such a loser?

Maybe he can help you because we can't.

And it's also never too late to change, you know, and it's a new year, it's a new leaf.

You can repent for chanting Selena at the Mecca, and you can move forward.

You have to stop, but for real, You just can't keep doing it.

No, and then it's like people will like take clips of them on the red carpet looking uncomfortable and be like, oh my God, he's thinking of Selena.

No, you're making them so uncomfortable.

Stop.

So their red carpet body language, we were talking about it yesterday, but not on the show.

And now I guess it makes a little bit more sense.

But first of all, I do think that like, you know, posing for pictures

can be awkward.

There were a few moments that like people were talking about.

First, he put his hand on her stomach and then she swatted away because she knew everyone was going to say that they're pregnant.

And I don't think that they are whatsoever, but they're both like laughing once she realized like what it looks like.

Yep.

Then they also like switch sides because she wanted to be on her good side.

Right.

Like they're so relatable.

But what's also so funny is like you watch a 10-second clip of them taking pictures and it's like pretty awkward.

And then you see the pictures and it's like

movie star.

Movie star.

Movie moment.

Oh, so they know what they're doing.

Movie moment.

But it's just like, so that's how just I just don't know how Haley does it.

Like these accounts, like you look at her Instagram comments, it's like, Selena, like shut up.

And honestly, if you're there to represent Selena, you're making Selena look like an enormous loser.

Like is she still thinking about Justin?

Is that what you're saying?

Justin's happily married and she's not and she's thinking about like you're making your girl who you're there to defend, you're making her look like a loser in this situation.

So you should stop.

Send this to a Jelena fan this episode because you guys are fucking losers.

I'm sorry.

Stop.

We are grown people.

Like stop.

And honestly, when I saw those videos of everyone chanting and like them getting out of the car, like, I was so sad for them.

Yeah.

And if you think, like, Selena's the victim in all this, you acting this way, you're making Justin and Haley the victim.

So you're having the adverse effect and you're stupid.

Thank you, Claudia.

Thank you for this PSA.

Really pissed me off.

The other thing I want to talk about the Met-Al, because Kim posted on her Instagram about her dressing, you know, every all day, people were like speculating about the meaning and talking about, you know.

how they how it made them them feel and she posted on instagram like what's more american than a t-shirt so that like perhaps that was the

reference right people look people have been giving like scientific historic footnotes a bibliography yeah on what they thought this meant and and like literally giving dissertations and she's like it's a t-shirt like is that it is it an f-sure

like that's it We all have been spinning our wheels and like it's just

a t-shirt.

It was just because of t-shirt material, which is a classic American.

And she was wearing like a big t-shirt.

Because of t-shirt.

Yeah.

Not z-shirt.

Not a shot.

T-shirt.

No, I was like, honestly, like, crushed.

Like,

is that okay to say?

Yeah, but it also made me feel like, because at some points, I'm feeling like I have no artistic vision.

Like, and I love Kim and I'm ready.

I'm embracing the meaning and the impact to wash over me.

I was watching Daily Pop yesterday because I wanted to see what they said about Met Gala looks.

And, you know, when you see a picture of a look so many times, especially like some of the fabulous pictures that emerge from the red carpet, my opinion does start to change.

And I want to take back one thing I said yesterday about a look.

I don't hate J-Lo's hat anymore.

Oh, okay.

Seeing it from enough angles, I can appreciate the hat.

And I hope she had a great evening as Mrs.

Hat.

Okay.

So then they were talking about Kim's look and they're showing it from all these different angles.

And they were like, this look is stunning.

And I was just like, what am I missing?

Right.

You know, how is she?

How does she look stunning?

They said she looks stunning, but you can't even see her face.

You can't see her face.

So

maybe I just have, you know, limitations when it comes to understanding art, which is very possible.

I'm not an art girly.

I'm not.

No, and by the way, I can admit what I know and what I don't know.

And like, I don't understand art at all.

And to be honest, I'm not even interested in understanding it.

Yeah.

Maybe like one day, maybe that's just like something that comes with age.

Maybe that's like the next stop for me on like my interests in life to become like an art person.

Honestly, now I have no.

Okay, I just had another thought about the outfit.

Okay.

Another theory.

Maybe, just hear me out.

It's so outrageous, but it's also like so recognizable.

Nobody's ever worn anything like that ever again.

Maybe Kim's hoping like in 50 years when the theme for Met Gala again is like, you know, Americana, someone will go as her, thus cementing herself as a permanent important figure in American fashion.

And you think that she wasn't that before?

Even though another interpretation of yours says that she dressed as her own body because she's such an important figure.

Okay, excuse me.

Defensive.

I didn't say interpretation of mine.

I said I saw it on TikTok.

No, but I liked it.

So did I.

But I was just thinking, like, this is another possibility because, like, maybe she wants to be like an Audrey Hepburn.

Because, like, Audrey Hepburn had all these iconic looks.

And this one is, like, so recognizable.

Yeah.

I hope that's not it, but you know, they're all possible.

I still don't.

Maybe it's, or maybe it's just a t-shirt.

Which was just really disappointing to me.

But also made me feel like better that, okay, at least there wasn't like this larger meaning that I didn't understand.

That we missed out.

Yeah.

Okay, moving on.

Are you ready for our next story?

Only if it's the next story, that's brought to you by Jenny Kane.

Yes, it is.

You guys, fall is around the corner.

And if you have no clothing, listen up.

Because nobody does fall like Jenny Kane.

No, it's the sweater you can't wait to wear.

The mules you'll be pairing with everything.

So the mules are their signature piece.

They come in leather, suede, shearling, and more.

And it's the classic shoe that started it all.

They're effortless, super comfortable, and they come in endless versatility.

And they really just make you

look very put together if you're just wearing a simple outfit.

Also, I would say like some of my favorite sweaters that I have are from Jenny Kane.

They have the Fisherman, which is the classic cashmere knit, and the Cocoon, which is a cardigan, and it also comes at a crew neck.

It's their best-selling sweater style.

We can't get enough of it.

It has a relaxed fit and an ultra-cozy silhouette.

Jenny Kane believes that getting dressed should be the easiest part of your routine with polished basics that will never go out of style.

They make everyday moments a breeze.

That's what you need for fall, like a couple really good staples that you can dress up, dress down, and Jenny Kane has them, whether they're sweaters or shoes, cardigans.

It's really important just to have like five or six things that you can wear multiple times, but they look super different.

And they're all really good quality.

They're elevated basics that focus on comfort without sacrificing style.

Our next story is really interesting.

Some reboot news.

The Proud Family Revival sets Lizzo, Tiffany Haddish, Lil Nas X, and more as guest stars.

Disney Plus has set a stacked cast, literally so stacked, of guest stars and new recurring talent for the Proud Family Revival.

It's called Louder and Prouder.

In commemoration,

great name, in commemoration of the original animated series' 20th anniversary.

the guest starring voice cast for the series set to launch on Disney Plus in 2022 will feature A-listers from the worlds of music, film, TV, and sports, including Liz Go, Lil Nas X, Chance the Rapper, Normani, Leslie Odom Jr., Tiffany Haddish, Lena Waith, Anthony Anderson, Gabrielle Union, Debbie Allen.

There's literally so many names here.

I'm just going to highlight a few more: Jane Lynch, Marcel Martin, Jane Lynch, Gabby Douglas,

Brenda Song, Lori Hernandez.

So it's a John Smith.

There's so many.

It's not a

reboot.

It's a reunion of sorts.

It's a series.

Oh.

Like, so I think it's some sort of reboot revival.

Do you think they're going to reboot the episode where she goes on Oprah?

Where she puts her foot in it.

I mean, there are so many guest stars here, and Oprah was not mentioned, which definitely worries me.

Prophet

will push your buttons.

I don't know how it goes after that.

No, I really do hope that Sugar Mama puts her foot in it once again.

And maybe they just seem to want to put it on the flyer, but Oprah's definitely making a surprise appearance right now.

I just wonder if, like, for me, like that

reference, just like, every time I'm cooking, I'm like, I'm going to put my foot in it.

Like, I just am always thinking about it.

Like, and I know.

No, Sugar Mama lives red and free in your mind.

She really does.

For anyone else, do you think about that?

What, that, like, instance all the time?

Never.

No, you don't, because when I mentioned it to you, you didn't know what I was talking about.

I don't know what it was.

But, like, I just wonder if other people are just always like thinking about sugar mama putting her foot in it it's very possible and to be honest I'm very skeptical of reboots um and just like any sort of revivals but I really feel like if something is being taken care of by Disney

Disney cares so much about keeping the integrity of their stories and that's why the Corello was so good it wasn't just like a strewn together prequel or sequel.

They care so much about the integrity of the leg and the legacy of the stories they've created over the years that they're not gonna

they're not gonna fuck this up like and i i have the utmost faith if something's on disney plus like i feel really good about it i do agree with you so i think that this won't be terrible i think it will be really fun for you know the

90s kids and all of us and we'll see what they do with it yeah so far it has the makings of a good reboot i mean you know i'm I am anti-reboot generally speaking.

But this sounds like an anniversary special.

And has Disney Plus done any reboots?

Reboots or reunions?

Like, when I think of reboots, I think of like Fuller House, which is Netflix.

I think of Friends, which was HBO Max.

I don't really feel like there's been like a big reboot reunion special on Disney Plus.

No, not that I've seen.

And I think if anyone can do it, I have so much faith in Bob Iger, even though I don't even think he works at the company anymore.

But he'll always be my CEO.

Uh-oh.

Nothing but respect for my CEO.

Honestly, I need to buy his masterclass.

You should.

I should like to learn something.

You should.

I have a masterclass code for you.

When people ask, like, who is like your business, like, idol?

I had never, I mean, no one's ever asked me that, but, like, I just have a feeling maybe they would.

Who would you say?

My business idol would probably be Kim.

Yeah.

Kardashian.

Mine, like, would probably be Brian Kelly.

That's a good one.

He's so rich.

Yeah.

So is Kim, though.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

It's a little more TV news, but

I'm sorry.

Did you say

the final story?

Final story,

yeah.

Should a mama put her foot in it?

Ha, that felt good.

Yeah, really.

You just ain't taken out on the triangle.

Literally.

Okay, Julianne Huff is addressing the activist show Backlash and Past Blackface Costume.

Julianne Huff has released a lengthy statement addressing the backlash that has surrounded her recently announced

CBS competition show, The Activist, which pits teams of activists against each other in challenges and uses their online engagement and celebrity judges to be able to.

Wait, sorry, start again.

I need a better understanding of what the show is.

It's a competition show.

For activists.

For activists.

So everyone.

Who thought that was a good idea?

I don't know.

No, I mean, people thought it was a a good idea.

It clearly, you know, got green lit.

It got Julianne Huth as a co-host alongside Usher and Briyanka Chopra.

The show was like announced last week and, you know,

not to.

No, I'm sure.

I need to go read the tweets.

I'm sure they're so funny.

Like, people already think like social media activism is so performative.

Like, you're literally just giving so much credibility to those.

Okay, so explain the show.

It pits teams of activists.

They're pitting activists against each other in challenges and it uses their online engagement and celebrity judges to determine an overall winner.

So there was a lot of backlash for the concept about the show and then Julianne Huff and she said now she admits she's not qualified to be judging a show about activism, the premise of which has been widely panned online.

So I think everything about this

formula is just a no.

I also read a series of tweets from someone who auditioned to be on the show

and activist and he said like the whole process was so demoralizing like

the the things that they wanted him to talk about like they just want him to cry like you're lying like instead of like i i can't explain it well but it was just i don't even know if he wound up on the show but just the way that the producers were like trying to get these activists to trigger them to activate was all wrong no this is such a bad idea like just even

as like a premise like because When you're describing the show, it kind of reminds me of Celebrity Apprentice.

Like all these people getting together to like raise money like for a cause.

But like those were famous people doing it.

And like it was somewhat interesting when they did it.

I don't understand, like from an entertainment perspective, like who thought this show would be like fun to watch.

Like it's like sad.

And

the Julianne Huff of it all.

Like I don't know how she could sign on to this show not thinking that her 2013 blackface would resurface.

And honestly,

like doing blackface is such a big deal.

Like it's atrocious.

She really never got like, it was like a big deal, but it was like...

when it happened right she didn't get like this huge cancel like when i like when i think of like how okay here's a good example like megan kelly like got fired for like kind of defending blackface and just saying like but if it's a costume like it was like a

She didn't do Blackface.

She was in conversation.

It was in conversation.

And like when you think of like Megan Kelly versus Julianne Half, Julian Half is like an A-lister, you know?

And like Megan Kelly like has a YouTube channel, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

So I don't know like who on her team advised her that this would be a good idea.

Of course, her past indiscretions would become a topic of conversation.

And honestly, I feel like now she might go through like a cycle of cancellation.

Yes.

And also,

even if this show were a good idea, activists

activating and competing with other activists.

Say like that premise didn't bother people.

Like the judges should be activists, like who can give

you know famous activists who can like give critique about, like, how to activate or what you're doing, like, not just celebrities telling these activists what to do with their life.

Right, like, technically,

the activists could teach the celebrity a thing or two, not vice versa.

Right, and I don't even think the hosts should be, or judges should be celebrities who also happen to be activists.

No, it should be like activists by day and activists by night.

Yes, like not celebrities by day.

Famous activists.

I'd have to think about who would be.

Gloria Steinem.

Sure.

Okay.

Yeah.

Like that.

Yeah.

But no.

That's, by the way, that's another element of why this is morano.

So I just think across the board from beginning to end, everything about this show has rubbed people completely the wrong way.

I don't know if the show is even going to air.

It really shouldn't, even though I can't lie, like, I might tune in just to see how stupid it is.

Like, yeah, no, and it's just so embarrassing, like, for everyone.

It is, and I just do things like this show, and I guess they filmed episodes.

So

it's coming.

It's set to premiere on October 22nd on CBS and PowerMount Plus you guys I don't think it's gonna make it to October 22nd no and you know what this is just like another example it's kind of like the imagine video funny I was thinking the same thing this is like people in Hollywood like really thinking they're doing something and that like they can teach us like how to be a thing or two and it's like You think you're helping and like we us normies like we see you for what you truly are which is ugly like they just think they're really doing something and, like, we're just going to eat it all up.

And, like, we're just looking at them like, you guys really think, like, you're everything of the sort.

Do you know how many people had to work on this show, approve this show, green light the show, produce the show?

And nobody thought, like, is this out of touch?

Not one person said that.

Moronic.

Yeah.

Beyond.

Beyond.

So.

The countdown is on until October 22nd.

And Julianne Huff releases like this long statement on her Instagram.

Yes.

I'm properly acknowledging

the moronic nature of this journey.

Yes, I don't think the show will air.

No, I don't think it will either.

I don't think it should.

It's one of those things that will just like.

But then, justice for the activists who like thought they were getting their big break, you know?

Yeah, but it also sounds like from the activist perspective, it was nothing of the sort.

Right.

You know, and like they're

like, why can't all activists do what they want to do?

Why can there?

Why has there only to be one activist?

Wait, like, why are we ranking activists?

The activists.

It didn't say like, it's not a show called activism.

It's not, the show isn't called, I think we're all activists.

Honestly, activist is just one of those words that you say too many times.

We've said it too many times, and now I'm like, it's gibberish.

It's like, I don't know.

Activist.

I feel that way about the word garage.

I know you do.

So does the viewers.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Let's head into the TV recap, which is brought to you by, oh, Bruce.

Thank you, Claudia.

Okay, tell me, tell everyone, because I know about where I'm at with Lula Raw.

What episode are you on and what are you feeling?

I just finished episode three where one of the consultants said I looked into hiring a class action lawyer.

Got it.

So I have one episode left and I think that's really where all the shit hits the fans.

So I'm sure everything I say today, I will totally reject after watching the fourth episode where I see like what was going on

their ways.

But gee, I, by the way, do you feel like it took them a little too long in the documentary to explain what was up?

Like, what's the problem?

I still don't understand the problem, really.

Like, I see that there's like faulty

leggings and stuff, but then, you know, and some of the people in the documentary were those who experienced the faulty leggings.

But then you also have the owner.

I forget his name.

Dean's Haskell.

Dean and Mark.

Mark.

And he was, and he's like saying that those were not,

that those were very small percentages of whatever.

But I also, but I don't understand.

Like, so if all of the leggings.

it wasn't it wasn't because at one point they had to pay people back for the shitty inventory they sold and they spent over 50 million dollars paying people back so it was a lot of people okay so that I will find that I will learn in the fourth episode yeah but what I don't understand is like why did the quality all of a sudden get so terrible I mean obviously you they were just two hillbillies running a billion dollar company like they had no experience they hired high-level people their nephews and their sons They didn't know.

And by the way, their growth was unbelievable.

And if they had stayed, I think, at like 15,000 retailers, they could have been successful.

Even 50,000.

But 100,000?

No.

And then also.

That requires like C-suite level people, a CEO.

Right, but then also at a certain point, there is a cap to how many retailers you can have, even if you have Bob Iger running your business, because then there's a woman, there's seven other women in her town who are selling LuluRowe and like everybody's got their leggings.

Like there is, you do max out.

So I think they reached that point where also like the inventory.

But they didn't care because they were then a business that was only dependent on how many retailers they had.

Nobody was even selling shit.

Like over 70% of their retailers were making no money.

Like their business, and that's why it was an illegal pyramid scheme.

Their business had nothing to do with how many leggings the retailer sold because the retailers had to buy from Mark and DM.

Okay, but the retailers were selling the leggings, at least in the beginning.

Like, you know, but see, the people they got on

the documentary are the women who had success, had success.

Like, out of the hundred thousand, they said, like, less than one percent were making like six figures.

Yes, that I saw, but and then, like, so 0.01% were made, um, were getting those bonus checks.

The other 70% were not because they didn't have people below them, they just had leggings to sell.

And that's like fundamentally why a pyramid scheme is illegal.

Okay, but like, in the beginning, when one of the women, like, she does her first legging party and she comes home with like $1,400,

why can't someone at the the bottom of the tier do that?

Because that's just not how, that's like pyramid schemes are designed to keep 80% of the retailers losing money or making no money.

That's like, that's what that guy was explaining.

That's why they're illegal.

Gotcha.

Unless you're like a mentor and you get up to like a, when you're just like a the bottom level of the like if you were just selling leggings, there's no money to be made?

Very little, especially when you have to pay so much for the

shit.

Yeah.

Anyways, okay, so talking about the that end of it, which is what I'm about to get into, and I'm sure I will, you know, but in the beginning.

Yes, I had no idea.

It was in the beginning.

Like, and with all of the like marketing that we're doing and like all the ways it changed like so many women's lives for the better for a very long time before it all turned sour, I'm just like, I'm ready to shop Lu La Rowe like.

No, I know.

It was actually really sad.

They also, the way that they describe these leggings, like, I do want to try them.

And I saw someone commented yesterday, like,

you were making fun of leggings, but that's just because you haven't tried them yet.

Apparently, they are just like magic yeah um so like that's pretty enticing to me but also just like this in the beginning like the fact that like women could stay at home and then also have this little shop and you know full-time income for part-time work etc etc but then it's clear that like the

execution no and all execution we can all agree fucked they moldy smelly i don't want that shit in my house yeah i'm quitting yeah

but the message started to change too and it was not no longer about this is part-time work.

First of all, you're not working hard enough if you're not working full-time.

Right.

And second of all, your husband should quit his job and work on this.

Take on the real responsibilities while you just like make videos.

No, but also he should be invested in Lula Row too.

That way you can never exit.

Because at so many points, I'm like watching this thing and I'm like, okay, things started to feel weird.

You know, maybe you took your money, you get out.

Right.

It's good.

When your whole family, and that's why the woman at the end who like literally has to go into bankruptcy and gets divorced, it's because

their whole life is dependent on this company that lets them down.

Right.

And it's clear that like from the top down, like that was what was encouraged when that was not the bill of goods that was sold at the beginning.

Right.

So in the beginning, this premise, this idea.

And also like to Deanne's credit, like it sounds like from her story, she started about it in a natural way.

She was, you know, she went to the swap meet and she saw these dresses.

She sold them for a little more.

She made skirts in her kitchen.

Everybody liked them.

One of her friends wanted to sell them.

And it really, like, the pyramid started in just like a word of mouth.

Like, she likes making clothes and selling, like, in a very industrious strap-on-your boot sort of way.

I know, but by the end of the documentary, I'm like, can I believe anything these people say?

Like, they become so delusional.

And it's like, at first, what I'm watching, I'm like, these people are so sweet.

Like, they just want to help stay-at-home moms.

And, like, I do believe, like, that their intention in the beginning was not to fuck over millions of people.

But by the end of the documentary, like, you really don't know what to believe.

Like, the best thing is, like, he, the documentarian says to Deanne, like,

what made you want to start a brand that like empowers women?

And like, what does it mean to be women?

And then Mark speaks over her.

And he's like, actually, you know, Deanne, can I take this one?

Yeah.

Like, it was so funny.

So I just don't know.

But like, my feelings at the end were like, I thought it was like so earnest and sweet in the beginning, but like, these people are like

delusional.

Okay, being delusional.

isn't a crime.

No, but stealing money from people is.

We'll get there.

I'm not there.

Okay.

So I'm just saying up to the next one.

So with the moldy leggings, they like refused to buy it back from people and people had spent $10,000 on their startup fees to get moldy leggings.

Yeah, yeah.

No, no, no.

I get that.

But they're not going to be able to get it.

I never got into why the leggings were moldy.

But they just.

It was because they were leaving them outside?

They just lost control of the whole thing.

Once they started growing, they should have been acquired by someone or put a CEO in who has Fortune 500 experience.

Two people with no business experience besides selling clothing cannot run a billion-dollar company.

They just can't.

Yeah.

With their kids.

With also a hundred thousand essentially contractors.

Right.

Like, let's say you're a restaurant, they had a hundred thousand stores.

Yeah, but like all those

retailers are people with personalities and like things, you know, it's it's a complex organism that they're dealing with.

Yes.

So I agree with that, but I also think that no matter who was running it, it was going to get too big.

But the way that it just blew up, like it was just

crazy.

I had, and it's just so crazy.

I never heard of it.

I know.

But I guess, like, I was, like, in college or right, just not in the MLM space.

No, not in the MLM space.

Um,

so it was, it's very interesting.

And they're just characters, like Deanne and Mark.

Yeah, so I will finish it.

I just, yeah, I want to see where a lot of the people, women who are speaking right now, like, where they ended up.

Like, if any of them were able to be like, you know what, this is just getting to be too all-consuming.

Like, I'm going to take my wins and go.

Yeah.

They have like five people who all need different things.

Okay.

Like, I hope that there were people out of the hundred thousand or even the you know mentors, trainers who made good money and at a certain point realized like, I'm going to check out.

I'm going to step away.

There's one girl like that.

Okay.

And she's the one who like was like top, she was a third retailer.

She's like the top employee at the company.

Okay.

I know her.

She stepped back not because she had a bad experience or was not making money, but she it just didn't feel right that like literally 90% like 90,000 people were making no money and she was yeah, and there's actually a woman and you'll figure out which one it is who still sells for Lula Row.

Well, there's one woman talking about how she wants to keep selling Lu La Rowe like forever and how she's working on her sixth cruise.

Yeah.

She's talking about that throughout the documentary, which also makes me feel like

Well, people are still doing it.

They're still in business.

I just looked at their Instagram the other day and all the comments are like flooded obviously like great documentary, but they're still in business.

I don't get it.

Well, we'll see.

I have to watch the fourth episode.

I just, I was really on the journey with with this, with this brand.

No, because it really, like, for a while, like, was this like female empowerment, like, machine.

Even if, like, her brand of female empowerment was like, you know, traditional.

Traditional, yes.

And also, like, empowering women, like, within the home.

I still can't leave the home.

No, totally.

But like, by the way, there are a lot of people in our country who do that.

Right, no, but, and also, those women had already made the choice to stay at home.

Like, it wasn't like she was forcing them to stay home when they wanted to like enter the workplace.

So she was giving them something to do.

So I

don't hate all of that.

Definitely like want to go to a Tupperware party soon.

But then it definitely turns toxic.

And the stuff with like the weight loss surgery.

So weird.

But then it also feels like these women were so close.

Like it's clear that if you were in this, like if you were in Deanne's inner circle, like the chat, like the Lula Reeve.

Like LulaRowe was your whole life, you know?

And so if one friend, it's just like, you know, if you're in a friend group and one friend goes and gets this bracelet, like, you know, we're all.

It It doesn't stop at leggings.

No.

And so on the one hand, it's like, okay, she's their boss and she's like kind of convincing

weight loss surgery.

Like that's incredibly fucked up.

But on the other hand, when like you're in like a circle and this

thing is your whole life, for better or for worse, you get like influence.

Oh my God, you look amazing.

What'd you do?

Oh, okay, I'll do it.

Even if it's just like a facial.

Right.

Or emotional.

I'm trying to feel that.

You know?

Yeah.

Everything with Lula Rowette is the extreme.

Yeah, and when it's with your work, it borders on inappropriate and unprofessional.

Right.

but they, like, because it's not a workplace anymore.

It's your whole life.

Right.

Yeah.

So there's just blurred lines everywhere.

It's an interesting documentary just because it's the most bizarre story ever.

Yeah.

And I also feel like before this documentary, I could never understand, well, the MLM to begin with, but also like why someone, they get such a bad rap.

Like, how do you even enter one at this point?

Right.

No, it's much harder now.

That's what I was saying.

This is why, like,

their success was a perfect storm of a million things, like being obsessed with leggings at the time, like, it was so trendy.

And 2013, like there were no Instagram accounts or documentaries exposing pyramid schemes.

It was just like a business.

Right.

And so, but now this documentary made me understand how people, a lot of people, get into MLMs.

Yeah, of course.

You're being sold a bill of goods that is false.

But like if the product is good.

Yeah, well.

I just have to say, like, I used for a while a Rodin and Fields eyelash serum that was amazing.

Someone gave it to me, and then like I could never buy it again because I had to like join a pair of scheme to get it, which sucks because you buy 5,000 because it's literally the best.

And by the way, anytime I talk about it, like I'm going to get hit up with so many Rodin and Fields consultants like, here, use my code.

Yeah.

So I do think that they're, I don't know, like, I'm not into the whole, I don't know as much.

I mean, I actually don't know anything about MLMs, but there is a limit to how much they can grow now.

Like, we will never have a Lula Row moment ever again because we're all so

hip to what goes on in MLMs.

If something is an MLM and not a pyramid scheme, you're not making money based on the people that you bring, that you recruit, you're making money based on the product sold, and you really believe in the product.

So, MLMs are legal, right?

They're unethical.

Why?

There are many documentaries on it, but the culture in MLMs is very toxic.

They brainwash a lot of the women.

Like, it's very.

But, what if you established an MLM that had a good culture?

You should work on that.

You know, like the lines are so confusing.

I don't really understand a lot of it.

Yeah, just people, like, so many people choose to do a lot of MLMs and then they get like just the worst reputation, but like the MLM part is legal.

If you're selling a product that you like love and you just want to sell, sell, sell, and you also are getting like, you know, making money from home just on selling product.

Like.

I don't think that the women who join MLMs, like what I've heard from people who have left MLMs is that like they don't love the product.

These women love the leggings.

Yes, they did.

That's why it's a unique story okay they don't love the product you're selling I don't think like they love you know the makeup and the toothbrushes whatever like that they're selling okay that's just what I think interesting um and then really quickly I started fleabag last night okay it's disgusting

because my friend Abe whose opinion I respect like said I would love it but it's time like it passed no I know and like I just want to say like I think it's like the worst show you should start Mayor of East Town No, I think I was going to start Killing Eve next.

Have you watched that?

No, you're so serious.

No, no, I know.

I'm just like, I've watched everything.

Like, I'm so, I'm at, you know, rock bottom.

Yeah.

What about Mayor of East Town?

I actually want to watch it.

I know, but that I actually miss the vote on.

No, no, no.

Fleabag and Killing Eve, you miss the vote on.

But they're still on the air.

Oh.

Like, new seasons come out.

Where is the new season of Mazel?

Have you ever watched Mazel?

No.

You would love it.

Like, adore.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

I know.

Fuck.

I forgot that yo was sitting right next to me.

Oh my God.

He just, you touched me.

Oh, my God.

My

chest.

I know.

That's what everyone says that I would love it.

Is she okay?

No.

Oh, my God.

Like, I know.

Oh, my God.

You're so dramatic.

You are so fucking mean, okay?

I'm going through something right now.

I scare very easily, and my heart rate is just really fast.

Give me one fucking second, bitch.

The most dramatic person.

Look at her.

Get the camera under her.

Jackie, you are actually gaslighting me right now.

Like, let me just have my moment.

Like, I'm actually going to cry, okay?

I was very scared.

I'm fine now.

I just need a moment to catch my breath.

Okay.

Okay, I'm fine.

My God.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Don't act like you care.

No, now I care.

You, like, you made me care.

Okay, I was just startled.

He gave me a fright.

Things happen.

Frights happen.

Yeah, they do.

They do.

Are you a person who frights easily?

I am.

Like, if I look at myself in the mirror and I didn't, like, realize I was standing there, like, I will actually almost, I have, have i get scared so fucking easily i guess i do get a fright easily like especially with zach just like spoking around i'm just like the if i get into an elevator and there's a person in it i scream

no i'm but it's a natural i'm not even being dramatic it's such a natural reflex because i'm just mindlessly the minding my own business and that you don't expect to see someone in an elevator unless i'm in like a busy busy corporate building but like here it's like a quiet building my home is a quiet building and i'm just like walking in and i look up and there's a person like i'll yelp, and they think I'm crazy, but it's nine times out of ten, I'll scream.

Damn, I'm sure they do think you're crazy.

You want to hear something?

Why don't you walk in looking up?

It's just a, by the way, I have an even crazier one for you.

Like,

this is moronic, but it happens a lot.

Sometimes my doorbell will ring and I'll open the door, like, knowing that there's someone on the other side, and I'll be like, sorry, you scared me.

Like, because sometimes I just think, like, if it's a package being delivered, they just leave it right outside.

Right.

So it's like 50-50 when I open the door that someone's actually there, not just like a delivery that was left outside.

Yeah.

So I just, I like, I take a step opening the door.

And I'm opening the door.

Like, someone rang the bell.

They gave me full warning.

And I'm still like,

that's so funny.

No, I know.

Damn.

Spooky season.

It is spooky season, though.

I don't want to end the show because then it's officially like Yom Kippur, you know?

Yeah, but we do have a call.

We do.
