S4 Ep146: Spritz Society: Tuesday, August 17th, 2021

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Wow, it's only Tuesday.

Yeah, that didn't feel good saying it.

That's tough stuff.

That's tough stuff, but we're here to brighten and enlighten you.

We are today's Morning Toast.

We have a really fun episode of The Toast Today.

We have much to discuss.

And you know, things are shifting.

Like, we are a very structured, organized show, but we are shifting.

We're making some changes.

After recently making a rather large,

globally impactful change from moving deer toasters on Wednesdays to Tuesdays, this week, again, we've decided to move it back to Wednesday.

We have a really big show today, and I just don't want today's episode to be like eight hours and then tomorrow's to be 30 minutes.

It's nice to spread it out.

It is nice to spread it out.

So we have the fast five stories today, and I think they're going to be fast.

I do.

I do.

And do you think there are going to be five?

Just about.

Just about.

Okay.

Just about five.

Cool.

Then we have to recap Bachelor in Paradise because we did what we said we were going to do and we watched and I I didn't hate it.

Oh, I did.

I have a lot of thoughts, kind of, so I'm excited to talk to you about it.

And it was nice to see the gang back together and the beach and I think it came out better than I thought it was going to.

Me too, but my expectations were so low that it's still not great.

Yeah, I feel that.

So we'll dive into that in the TV recap.

Dear Toasters is being pushed to tomorrow.

I'm sorry to the DT stands, the DTS.

And then we have such an exciting guest joining us, Ben Saffer.

I don't know if you guys have ever heard of him, but he's called his husband.

He's like this small indie like artist.

He's called his husband.

Yeah.

And he is the CEO of the company Spritz Society, which launches today.

So he is here answering all your questions.

Yeah.

And he did say that this is the society season too.

He said that.

He said it.

And you know what?

Like, we've been posting on social, like, a little bit here and there, just, you know, secret project, secret project, secret project.

But today, it's just a project.

It's not a secret because it's our latest project.

Ben is the CEO of Spritz Society.

He's going to tell us all about it because I know you guys have a lot of questions.

And it's very exciting.

We're very proud that today is the launch day.

We have a big lunch party tonight.

And I've been vlogging for the past week, the whole launch experience, launch week,

you know, drama with the website, like, oh, you know, all this stuff, you know, the tea.

So you're going to share that vlog on the Patreon.

Yes.

So it'll probably hopefully be up by the end of the week.

And so it's very exciting.

So we just have like a lot of things to do today.

Business to attack.

Yeah, so we should get right into it.

Just want to let everyone know it's back to being freezing in the studio.

I'm so

happy.

Hence the blanket for me, but also because your legs are so tan and stunning.

Thank you.

And mine literally pale in comparison.

Literally.

And so for a multitude of reasons, it's a blanket day for me.

Plus, it matches my outfit, so it just looks like a little skirt.

I finally, like, I don't know why I got really into like a groove of doing my own spray tan, which is fulfilling in some ways, but really nothing compares to a professional doing it.

And I had totally forgotten like how much better it is.

And I'm just like feeling myself.

You know, it's the best feeling in in the world.

You offered if I wanted to come and do it with you and I was just like too fucking lazy and I should have done it.

Yeah, you should have.

Because now I'm leading a life of regret.

So I'm just going to have to be putting on like body makeup for tonight.

Yeah.

No, and I got my lip wax, my eyebrows.

Like I'm fucking snatched right now.

I have a day like that today, a day of spa services.

I can't tell you how I'm dreading it.

It's such a like once you're done with the day of spa services and it's not like spa like, you know, facial.

It's spa like getting your labias ripped out.

Like it's really fucking painful.

It's so it's not like a spa day.

It's chores.

It's chores.

It's the chores of the physical body.

And I'm really not looking forward to it.

But looking at you, I'm looking forward to the end result.

Right.

Like, this is what you could look like.

Right.

This is, I'm the before, and she's the after.

And you know what's so funny?

It's like after all those maintenance appointments, you don't even look different, but you feel so different that it exudes this radiance from within, even though, like...

You showing up today and you showing up tomorrow, to me,

I can't see a difference.

No, and the thing, the services I'm having done, like, they're, you guys actually can't even see them.

I'd be better off just like getting a spray tan and remaining hairy.

Totally, totally.

Um, okay, so good luck with that.

Thanks.

Big, busy day.

We have due here to get us through the day.

Another day, another brew list day.

Another day, another due.

Another day, another do.

Another day.

Another zala.

Another no brew.

Brew is coming this week.

I can promise you that.

You need to give me a heads up because, like, I was walking into the building today being like, did Yaggie say she was going to bring brew?

Like, I can't remember.

Like you didn't say anything, but like you were supposed to bring him on Monday.

So I thought maybe it would fall to Tuesday.

And then I was like, oh my God, shit, it's going to be Ben, Theo, Bruno, Spritz.

Like it's going to be too much.

Yeah.

No,

I will get Brew's stuff together because calendar is just really crazy.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have a present for you.

For me?

Yes.

Oh my gosh.

So in the present saga, I'm like, oh, for 11.

Jackie's, except I did get her Gucci bag a while ago, and like, that pretty much beats all the gifts.

But Jackie's always like seeing things and thinking about it.

I'm just always thinking of you.

And I saw something, and you know, before I give it to you, let me just shout out because it's a toaster-owned business.

Oh, okay.

And I want her to know that A, her package has been received.

I'm so excited.

Well, she's going to see this, so I don't know.

Yeah, I just want to also shout out her business.

Just give me a second.

Oh, okay.

Like, can you?

Oh, Madison Crowley photo.

Okay.

Photo.

Okay, cool.

And I framed it for you too.

Ready?

You want to show the cameras first?

Close your eyes.

I mean, I think I saw like when you pulled it up.

Dew and Brew.

It's a watercolor painting of Dew and Brew in a stunning frame.

These are my boys.

Those are your boys.

Dew and Brew.

Isn't that so cute?

Name a More Iconic Duo.

Did you see?

Name a More Iconic Dew.

Oh, and by the way, she wrote on the bottom the nibblings.

I'm dead.

Knowles is going to plot.

Where are you going to put it?

Right next to my bed.

Totally.

Next to my Bible.

Knowles is going to plot.

Knowles is going to plot.

I didn't even think about Knowles.

I know.

Well, obviously, neither did Madison Crowley photo.

This is just so stunning.

Thank you so much.

Did you get tagged in that watercolor on Instagram?

I thought it was beyond stunning.

She really captured the essence of Dew and Brew.

No, it's so

good,

and it's just stunning.

I actually wish I got one for myself.

No, and like she just could have written underneath we them boys.

We making noise.

Yeah, that was my fault.

I should have given her more artistic direction.

No, that's okay.

I'll just always say no.

We them boys.

We making noise.

We making noise.

They are them boys.

And they're always making noise.

So thank you for this.

And I'm glad to know because I was actually getting really worried.

The gift that I got for you is not at all this.

And for a second, I thought we got each other the same gift.

Well, because, like, I DM'd the girl after I saw the watercolor.

And I'm like, how can I buy like a print?

And

we purchased it.

And I was like, maybe Jackie thought the exact same thing.

Like, it's not that far off, but I feel like she would have told me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No.

Oh, my God.

That would be really funny.

No, mine is totally in a totally different vein.

And I'm feeling really good about the constant gift exchange.

Me too.

I think it's such a good pattern for the show.

Me too.

Just like little knickknacks and like, and it's like a little competition.

Like, who's thinking of the other moments?

More, yeah.

You know, it's probably you, but like, don't, don't count me out.

No, and I, even if just, you know, once in a while, it's, it feels so good to be thought of.

It does.

So thank you, Claudia.

It is a pleasure.

And now I have my boys.

Ugh, my stories.

And you know what they're doing?

They're making noise.

All right, let's dive in.

Okay, let's dive in.

Without further ado, da-da-da-doo, it is time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite of your morning toast.

I'm laughing because we were actually doing a lot of a do to do.

Like, you know how it's usually without further ado, the do to do.

Like, we were talking about the do's right before, so it was, like, really

without further ado.

Yeah, yeah.

So, um, today's episode is brought to you.

I have a job to do.

Oh, I'm laughing.

Today's episode is brought to you by Orate, a fine jewelry brand founded by women for women, where their pieces range from classic to statement to completely original.

Orate makes the jewelry you've always wanted but can never find.

Their gold is super substantial and their diamonds sparkle and shine.

They're super high quality and really, really beautiful.

And that's because it's all real gold.

You can wear it, never take it off in the shower.

You can play sports, you can sleep, you can cook, you can really do anything with it because Orate is jewelry for life.

And all of their pieces come with a lifetime warranty because they know that it lasts.

They sell directly to you.

without a middleman markup so they can offer the same quality as traditional fifth avenue brands but it's all at a fraction of the cost because they've really hacked the jewelry market and they're making real gold accessible.

It's all ethically sourced and sustainably made.

Their gold is never mined.

And they also give back and support various causes ranging from the environment to social causes, empowering women, youth, and children.

It's founded on the desire to shake up the jewelry market and it's designed by women for women.

And now you can pay with Klarna, which is a really big deal because besides transparent pricing, Orate has now teamed up with Klarna to make their items even more accessible.

You can shop now, pay over time, and it's just a more flexible way to get what you want from Orate.

So it's, you know, as part of being an adult, it's like investing in good jewelry that you don't have to like recycle every month because it turns your neck green.

And Orate's a great place to do that.

The pieces are stunning and they're all so well made.

And now that they offer Klarna, it's much more accessible.

Thank you, Claudia.

Are you ready for our first story?

It's a pleasure.

Pete Davidson has split from Bridgerton's Phoebe Viner after a whirlwind romance.

They say distance made it hard.

This one,

they, you know, what goes up must come down.

Yeah.

And it was time, I guess.

Even though I thought this had more of a

shelf life.

Pete Davidson is like just like, you know, the hottest man in Hollywood.

He's just like slinging around.

At some point, the cycle has to break.

So, with every seemingly happy relationship for him, I'm like, this is going to be the one.

This is where Pete, you know, he can't look back after this.

I guess, but I think I remember when this news broke,

I was doing podcast episodes and I was doing it with Taylor Strecher, and we were like going on and on about why we hated this.

And I just like hated it because, like, I don't know, it's just not fair to like Phoebe Dinivore gets to like fuck Bridgerton and like make out with Pete Davidson and then also like be in younger and like, hey, hook up with Josh.

It's just like, save some for the rest of the world, you know so I don't know I was kind of bitter about it when you and I spoke about this coupling like we were so over the moon about it and overjoyed so it just sounds like you're having different conversations with different people I don't remember like remember when we were talking about wimbledon and we're just like there's two types of couples and we were just like oh yeah we were really like felling over these we were yeah I mean you probably said like you know some girls really do like just have it all have it all well you know so but not without like feeling so happy for like this beautiful couple really yeah well it's just so funny how like your emotions can change because like when I heard about them breaking up like I literally didn't even care.

I just like I really like them as a couple.

They made a lot of sense.

I'm sure like his next girlfriend will also like be you know some skinny and blonde.

Skinny blonde like just super relevant cool person.

Yeah, well he's super relevant too.

Yay, no, but like every girl that he dates is just like a star.

Do you think you can't like think about who he's gonna date next?

Like I definitely wouldn't pick like whoever he's gonna date next like I would never even think of then I'm like because she's not even famous yet.

Right, but then it will make so so much sense when it happens so he's like best friends with machine gun kelly and like machine gun kelly is like majorly settled down with me gun do you think that like that's inspiring him to like want to settle down no no me neither i don't know like nothing in his life has changed like since all these relationships have started you know so i don't know what it's gonna take he's also still really young so why would he settle down um and he's at like the height of his fame yeah so he's just you know and maybe he's really looking for the one and he just hasn't found her yet

interesting who do you think is the right person for him?

Ari.

Ana.

I really feel like it's Carly Aquilino.

No, I think it's Ariana Grande, and I just don't think they gave it a fair shot.

I actually think that at one point I was like really much, very much thinking that her and Pete David, him and Pete Davidson,

Kazzie David and Pete Davidson, like were the perfect couple.

No, every girl that he is with, it is the perfect couple, and then it doesn't work out.

That's what I'm trying to say.

Maybe?

So the next person he dates is also going to be the perfect couple.

Maybe he's the perfect man.

Maybe he is the perfect man.

That's true, actually.

Like everyone he's with, I'm like, oh my god, perfect.

Yeah, speaking of everyone he's with, segue to our next story.

His ex-girlfriend, Margaret Qualey, remember

spotted making out with Jack Antonoff all over New York City.

This is pretty cute.

Jack Antonoff put his wild heart on display with his apparent new gal pal, Margaret Qualey, over the weekend in New York City.

The bleacher singer and Margaret were spotted out and about on Saturday, leaving little doubt as to their coupledom with various acts of PDA.

They were seen stopping for ice cream at milk bar where they embraced and kissed before continuing on with their treats.

I was wondering, so I don't know if you are too, but she's 26 and he's 37.

Oh.

Because I thought she was younger than that, actually.

I don't know why.

I didn't even think about it.

I thought she was like 18.

So she's old enough to make her own decisions.

100%.

Here's what I want to say about this.

One, I don't know why I still thought

Jack Antonoff was with Lord.

Yeah.

And like basically Lord stole Lena Dunham's boyfriend and it was like all this Taylor Swift girl squad.

Is it confirmed that Jack Antonoff was with Lord?

I think so.

Or it was just whispers.

No, I think it's like confirmed.

Like they were seen and spotted

kissing and things.

I'm pretty sure.

Okay.

So I just didn't know that we had moved on from the Lord era of his life.

Now, I don't, you know what's so interesting to me about Margaret Qualey?

Mm-hmm is that like, I don't know, like famous kids are usually as famous as their parents.

Like, of course, Kaya Gerber is the biggest model in the modeling industry.

Like, look at her parents.

And like, Andy McDowell is, I love her.

She's in my favorite movie, Beauty Shop.

But she's not, like,

that famous.

You know what I mean?

So the fact that Margaret Quayley has become like a young Hollywood A-lister dating everyone like so under the radar, so cool.

Like it just doesn't match like the precedent.

I think that's on her talent.

Talon as what?

An actress.

Oh.

Like she was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

She has, yeah, she has all of these like big, like real serious acting things coming up.

Oh, I didn't know.

And so, yes, I think when your parent is a celebrity, like some doors open for you.

And like, but I think the fact that she's so successful and like so Such a serious in such serious pieces like just speaks to her talent as an actress.

Oh, that's really interesting because I just was always confused.

I'm like of course like famous kids are always famous but their fame usually matches their parents fames like very rarely do you out

succeed your parents.

Yeah, no, it's like if she wanted to be in a movie in Hallmark like she could have easily done that because you know Andy McDowell the beach house you guys have to see it.

It's so fucking good.

Annie McDowell like I just want to say like

when I was a kid, I could not tell Andy McDowell and Charlotte York apart.

Like, to me, they were the same person.

Okay, okay, fine.

I also had that with Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts.

Like, to me, they were the same woman for the entire time I was, like, on this earth.

I feel that.

But also, she's a fabulous actress.

I just want to say.

She is.

I want to look up her.

Did you see she embraced Gray on the Canned Red Carpet?

I did see she embraced Trailblazer.

I did see that.

I just want to look up what movie she's been in now.

Andy McDowell.

Yeah.

Because I feel like there are some really good ones.

For me, she's most famous from Beauty Shop with Queen Latifah, the best movie of all time.

She was in Footloose, the remake.

Oh, I never saw the remake with Miles Teller.

And Julianne Huff.

Not that, like, he wasn't, they weren't the couple, but they were so good.

No,

he was the friend of the lead.

Oh, right, who like learns how to dance.

But the remake of Footloose is so good and underrated.

I just want to say.

You know, I actually think I have a list of movies I need to watch because I was actually asking Ben last night.

He also has never seen Field of Dreams, which is weird because Ben like loves sports.

Right.

So that's on my list of movies to watch, as are both Annie's.

And now, what movie did you watch?

All three Annie's.

No, all two.

There's three.

No, Victor Garber and the one before it.

And the OG.

Yeah.

Wait, quickly.

What was the movie we were just talking about?

Andy McDowell?

Oh, Footloose.

Foot Loose.

That's also, that's going to be on my list.

Okay, cool.

We need to bring back Toast Movie of the Week.

I know.

Okay, I will get off Andy McDowell's fan picture now.

Yeah.

Okay, so anyways, Margaret Kauley, Jack Antonoff, back to the two of them.

I ship completely.

Do you?

Yes.

This to me is like another couple that just makes so much sense.

I would have never, I don't, like, I would have never thought to put them together, but they're just so, they seem so

sympatico,

erratico, hypnotic.

I hope that she's a Taylor Swift fan.

Like, I feel like that's a huge part of being Jack Antonoff's girlfriend.

You know, I'm sure that she is.

Yeah.

Honestly, like, I don't know if I like feel bad for Jack Antonoff or like hate him because like, do you remember when he was dating Lena Dunham, which was like so crazy that she wrote that article like guess who said it my dog or my Jewish boyfriend like that was like so reeking of anti-Semitism and I was like oh my god poor Jack Antonoff and then I'm also like but it's like he's did you allow that he's here by choice no totally and it's like you probably thought it was funny and told her it was good like so I don't know if I like him or I hate him because of that but he's a good friend to Taylor so we stand yeah I hear what you're saying I just

that's just one of those things in my mind I'm like I can't believe like that happened no no no I I believe Dunham wrote that article.

I agree with you completely.

I just feel like if he dated Lena Dunham, like he suffered.

You know?

Do you remember?

I was actually thinking about this the other day.

Do you remember those years where like Lena Dunham was the it girl of Hollywood?

The queen of the world.

Like when those four girls walked down to the Emmys and like the Golden Globes during award season, it was like the world stopped.

No, it was the craziest thing.

And like just the fall.

I mean, it's impossible to go from that and not fall, but boy, did she have a fall from Golden Globes?

Right, right.

Where it's just like...

I think a lot of it was in a part of her book that people started to dislike her.

Right.

There was a lot of stuff.

And I just, I think eventually it just became...

Too much.

Too much.

Anyways,

I'm happy for him.

Me too.

Like, this is cute.

You ship?

Yeah.

Did you say that you ship?

I don't really, like, know Margaret at all.

That's a thing.

I just feel like I know her.

I know.

I feel like you feel very attached to her in some ways.

I do.

Can you explain that?

I don't know.

I just feel like I feel like she has a really bright career in front of her.

She seems like a really nice girl.

I feel like you're rooting for her.

That's like the vibe I'm getting.

I'm rooting for her.

We're all rooting for her.

Rooting for her.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And she dated Pete Davidson.

So she clearly likes funny, quirky guys.

That's true.

She doesn't go for the obvious choice.

Yeah.

She was dating Shia LaBeouf.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wait.

I think I saw online somewhere somewhere like a short film they did together.

They split after FKA Twigs sued him for sexual battery assault and infliction of emotional distress.

And then she later expressed her support for FKA Twigs over Instagram.

Well, I had seen this short film they did together.

I totally forgot about it until now because like, honestly, if Margaret Quelly was standing right in front of me, like, I wouldn't know who she is.

But somebody showed me this movie with her and Shia.

Hmm.

They were like naked and stuff.

It was pretty good.

Nice.

Are you ready for our next story, which is a little more couple news?

A little more couple news.

Yeah.

Chriselle Stauss and Jason Oppenheim are continuing with their charade and making their red carpet couple debut at Shang Chi Premiere.

Honestly, the height difference is so real.

Have you seen these pictures?

Yes, I have, of course.

I don't know.

I'm kind of here for...

Well, she looks amazing.

The height difference and like how they're just embracing it.

Like she's not wearing heels.

He's not wearing like platforms.

He is, she is wearing heels.

That's what I meant.

Like she's she's not not wearing heels because her boyfriend's short.

Right.

Boyfriend.

Boss.

Quote unquote.

No, I.

Acting partners.

The height difference doesn't bother me.

And I agree.

Like, I like when like a couple just owns their height difference.

And I like them each as individual people.

I'm just, again, standing by what I said, that this is not a couple.

I don't know what this is about.

Maybe it's, you know.

to drum up some buzz for the next season of Selling Sunset.

Like maybe they both have like someone that they actually like who they're trying to make jealous, you know?

So they're like, Let's marry, let's do this thing,

and then like everyone will come running, you know?

No, I agree, it's such a weird couple, like, they don't look like a couple anywhere they go.

And now I've seen like a couple pictures, videos of them where they both look so unnatural and so uncomfortable around one another, and that's just not how you're supposed to look with your new boyfriend.

Like, you're supposed to, like, have the butterflies honeymoon stage.

No, and like every picture where they're showing us that they're a couple, like, trying to do a couple things, it's just so unnatural.

Totally.

And it shouldn't be that hard to convince us.

No, it shouldn't be that hard to just like be around your boyfriend.

Yeah.

It's very bizarre, but they're keeping the charade alive.

I would love to hear what Christine has to say.

We need to hear from Christine.

I'm really looking forward to the next season.

So am I.

It's been a long time.

When did we start selling sunset?

In COVID?

Yeah, a year ago.

Like September of last year.

Year.

That was a fun time.

That was a good time.

Like, it was still like two weeks to flatten the curve.

Like, it was all so new.

No, it wasn't.

September of last year, we started flattening the curve in March.

September.

Yeah, sorry, sorry.

Yeah, no, no, it was like two years to flatten the curve.

So why was that a good time?

Just of watching Selling Sunset.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah.

Sorry, I misspoke.

Yeah, you did.

Are you ready for our next story?

Only if it's the next story that's brought to you by Noom.

Yes, it is.

You know, when it comes to losing weight, there's a lot of pressure out there to label foods as good or bad.

But that just creates an unnecessary dilemma because

Noom is is here to change how we see food with a psychology-based approach that looks at what you eat, but also how you eat.

And instead of making you feel guilt or regret, Noom is going to empower you to keep going because not everyone wants to be on a strict diet, do two days at the gym, or drink strange teas.

Noom's cognitive behavioral approach helps you unlearn bad habits and better understand your relationship with food.

One size does not fit all and that's why you can choose your goals and Noom will personalize a weight loss program just for you.

They want to help you and give you the knowledge and wisdom to help build a smarter, more sustainable habits.

80% of Noom users finished the program and over 60% have stuck with their goals the first year.

With Noom, taking care of your health is empowering instead of stress-inducing.

There's no need to ruin your whole day because you, you know, had a little snack or you went a little off.

Noom is just going to help you get back on track.

All you need is a daily 10-minute check-in.

There's no grueling early mornings or huge chunks out of your day.

I know that you've had a lot of success with Noom.

Can you tell me what you love about it, Jackie?

I love Noom and I've had a lot of success with Noom because for every stage of your journey, there is a program for you.

I've been doing Noom at times when I've wanted to, you know, put in the work, grind time, Noom, show me how to, you know, shred to be the snatchler.

But also in times of just like maintenance and wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but not having specific goals that I want to achieve.

Like Noom just has a plan for everything.

And I think those success rates of 80% who finish it and 60% who keep their success within the first year, that says it all.

Cause I think that that's what we're all striving for.

Next story, a little more legal news about the Girardis.

Oh, no, what, no.

Tom Girardi's law firm is selling Erica Jane collectibles to pay creditors amid ongoing bankruptcy case.

Oh, I heard they were having like an auction in their building, but that includes Erica's items?

Yep, and they're selling staplers and everything, but Erica Let's buy something for the studio.

Totally.

Erica Jane is indirectly helping her estranged husband, Tom Girardi's law firm, pay off creditors.

I'm sure she's vomiting over this.

Of course.

Girardi Keese is auctioning off a memorabilia from the Real House I've Star's singing career amid the former couple and the firm's ongoing bankruptcy case.

Described as Erica Jane Collectibles, there have been 25 bids placed on signed magazine covers, framed photos of Erica and Tom, and the billboard plaque for her 2009 track Roller Coaster.

The memorabilia is currently listed for $350.

Us Weekly confirmed last month that Girardi Keese is selling, quote, the firm's office furniture, business machinery, and equipment, as well as furnishings and decorations comprised of art, oriental rugs, sports memorabilia, wine, music, memorabilia.

You know, maybe we need one of the Girardi Keese Oriental rugs for the studio set.

Like, this rug is getting dirty.

Maybe it's time.

Statues, vintage law, and other books, a vintage piano, a Cadillac DTS, and much more.

What about that Cadillac?

We need a company car.

Totally.

Wait, this is so sad.

Like, that's where they're at, like, selling their staplers just to make ends meet.

To pay their creditors.

And I'm sure Erica, of course, is vomiting.

Like, not only,

according to her, like, her name has been dragged through the mud in this whole situation.

Now they're using like her name and likeness to sell things just to help them pay bills because they are being sued for stealing money from orphans and widows.

Right.

And like, it's not even like she's benefiting whatsoever from the sale of her items.

Oh, and didn't you also send me another link today about this?

That Bravo has been subpoenaed to fork over.

I just saw that.

Bravo has been subpoenaed.

Yeah.

Okay.

No, I didn't send that to you.

No.

Hold on, someone.

And I didn't see that.

Because last week we we said that Bravo was probably going to willingly share unseen footage with the courts.

And now you're saying Bravo has been subpoenaed.

Okay, this is on Reddit, so I don't know if this is legit, but it's Bravo served with papers to preserve and hand over all information and unaired footage.

Looks like Sutton was right to distance herself as the letter would include all employees, which include housewives.

Whoa.

And this is like a they have like this law,

this legal letter that was supposedly given to Bravo.

I don't know if this is legit.

Whoa.

But that's crazy.

That is crazy.

Speaking of just housewives legal matters, have you seen the real housewives of Salt Lake City of Tramp?

Of course.

It looks infuriating.

Like, Jen is maintaining her innocence, blaming the other women for her getting indicted, which is.

She's like blaming Meredith for working with the feds.

Justice for fucking Meredith, okay?

And like, honestly, I love Heather, but it's like I see her in the trailer, like out to lunch with Jen being like, I'm going to be your friend, like by you, by your side, all of this.

And it's like, no.

Yeah.

She wasn't, you, like, she wasn't even a good friend to you last year.

And last year, we didn't even know she was an insane criminal.

Right.

Like, now we know that she's so corrupt, the morally corrupt Jen Shaw, and you're still going to stand by her.

And like, now you're going to be friends with her when you just weren't friends with her because she was a bad friend.

Right.

And now you have like the most reason not to be friends with her and you're going to ignore it.

I don't know if that's, I don't know if like.

Maybe that's an early scene when they don't really know what she did.

Like, we'll see.

It looks like Lisa Barlow is taking some investigative matters into her own hands in this season and trying to get to the bottom of it.

At the reunion last year, she was being such a kiss ass to Jen.

It was so illusory.

And I bet when all that stuff came out, Lisa Barlow was like freaking out because she's like, oh boy, did I choose the wrong side?

Yeah.

So it will be interesting.

I mean, it obviously looks so good, but it is a little disappointing.

And I guess like we have to wait to see the trial and you know, you're innocent until proven guilty.

But when something is a federal case, they're not just like wasting their time.

Also,

we just stay standing, Meredith Marks.

Like, I just feel really good about my decision last year to stand with her

because, from the looks of the trailer, it looks like she will not disappoint ever.

Yeah.

I agree.

When Jen called her fraudulent,

what?

No.

Like, how insane?

How?

Up is down.

Down is up.

It looked like a really good friend, and I actually think like Salt Lake City was always a good franchise, but this whole drama, I do believe, like, will catapult their ratings and just like cement their space in housewives.

Like, I feel like at any moment, the housewives of Dallas could get canceled.

Yeah, I feel you.

So I just feel like Salt Lake City has already surpassed Dallas in that sense.

I agree with that.

In a weird way.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story, which will lead into our TV recap?

No, I'm not.

I know.

The triangles have been neglected all day, but it's finally time for the final story.

That was so beautiful.

I feel at peace.

I do feel at peace as well.

Bachelor in Paradise sets a record with six couples hooking up, including Grocery Store Joe.

Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 premiered featuring whopping six hookups, including

memorable appearances by Queen Victoria, Grocery Store Joe, and new host David Spade.

Okay, so this was going to launch us into our TV recap.

I guess it was a really slow day for news.

That's exactly what happened.

And I want to talk to the Spritz King himself.

So I watched the real, no, the Bachelor in Paradise premiere.

And it's been a long time since I watched the show.

And I was definitely like going into it with really low expectations.

And it was better than I remembered.

I do,

I just have gotten used to.

The last couple of shows, I've been watching so much, like Too Hot to Handle, Are You the One, Love Island, and they're like just actual good shows.

Nope, take that back.

Not Too Hot to Handle.

Not Too Hot to Handle.

Okay, you're right.

Yeah, and I actually feel like Too Hot to Handle is similar to Bachelor in Paradise in the sense that like so much of the footage is nothing.

Like it just takes so long to move on from like a conversation.

And I always I've forgotten because it's been so long since I watched like how they're just really relying on like gimmicks and like I'm a cat like that shit is not funny like nobody thinks that's funny this isn't a show for children like we're all adults like just get to the part where everyone's like on the beach making out it's just so annoying but having said that I do think it's a pretty good cast there's a lot of people like I really like like I'm obsessed with Kelsey from Iowa like I just love her and she looks like honestly her and David Spade were having like a real moment and I think David Spade like should meet someone.

I agree.

And I think it should be Kelsey.

I think it should be too.

I'm worried that Kelsey is not going to be around for a while because she wasn't in a lot of the previews.

Like, she wasn't in the

couple saying, I love you in the previews.

She only had like three scenes and three outfits.

I feel like.

And she didn't meet anyone the first night.

I feel like she'll stay this week and then she'll give her reveals next week and then she gets home sent home the next week.

And that's just going to devastate me.

I was thinking the same thing because, honestly, I don't really remember a season where everything moved as fast as it did the first night.

And if you woke up the first night and you didn't kiss someone, you're 10 steps behind.

Yeah.

But some of the couples I really dig.

Like, first of all, grocery store Joe like is

I feel I don't really know him whatever season he was on I did not watch

Kufran

Coufron and by the way she's coming so like that'll be interesting yeah no like she discarded him and now it's like but then also when I saw they brought in Kendall I'm like oh they're just playing with us now I know I was feeling sad and they made it seem like in the previous he falls in love with Serena P and that he's leaving her for Kendall I don't believe that's what's gonna happen but he did say that he loves Serena P.

Yeah by the way and I like them so much as a couple he's very funny when he was like talking about all the the other guys like are cool with their outfits and like he just

swimming on from the jar.

He's about to get his haircut.

It was so funny and cute.

Like I actually understand

why people are obsessed with him.

Like he's a very cute, his Chicago, like he's so cute.

Yeah, I like him.

Him and Serena are an amazing couple.

Like I love how everyone was after Serena, and I was kind of shipping her and Brendan from Tisha's season.

Yeah.

But Brendan likes Natasha.

I know.

And by the way, Natasha was...

So slept on in this franchise.

Like, she deserves to win this whole competition.

Like, she's, I forgot, like, she's, she never got to talk on her season.

Like, she's hilarious.

Uh-huh.

And she looked gorgeous.

And I actually really like them as a couple.

Me too.

Even though, like, it's just night one.

Like, everything's going to change.

It looks like in the previews, Brendan is, like, with someone else.

I can't remember who, though.

Yeah, that's what it was feeling like.

Now, I do,

people who come on, like, Victoria, like, I just hate like the goddess.

Like, it's just, can we grow up?

Like, this is a show for adults.

Like, all these gimmicks, it bothers me so much.

It's crabs.

Like, shut up.

Yeah, the goddess.

I like, I think Victoria's coming on with a new energy, which I appreciate.

And I hope she gets along with everyone.

But like, all these, like, props and shit and like these names, just like, leave it to us.

Just be yourself.

I agree.

Be yourself.

And, like, she's looking great.

Like, just give yourself a chance.

Yeah.

No one's going to come.

Like, you're so intimidated and creepily smiling at everyone for five minutes.

Like, it's crazy.

Yeah.

Okay.

And then also.

Abigail and Noah.

Okay.

I'm also really glad Noah's story is being rewritten because I do feel like he was

who's on Taiwan CC.

With Bennett.

Yeah, like that thing was so stupid.

And like, I actually really liked him.

And he did come off a little bit like a dick because his mustache.

But like, I don't know.

I felt like I really liked him.

And when he just came in, like, I want Abigail.

Like, I have worked with, you know, so many deaf kids as a nurse.

And like, I just think she's amazing.

Like, she's my hero.

Love.

And, like, I'm just obsessed.

Like, they're a great couple.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I feel like what else happened?

Other couple, like, other, there were other people.

Kajuan hooking up with that guy's uncle.

was everything.

I know, but I like that they're into each other.

And I'd like, I feel like the last time she was on, first of all, I've never related to someone so much in my life.

Like, everyone finally is talking about how hot it is.

Like, thank you.

And it does look like it's hotter than ever.

And I don't know.

I feel like she was kind of made into like a joke when she was on, and that's like not nice.

And I feel like she's being given like somewhat of a serious edit, like, in the sense that she's actually making out with someone.

So I hope they don't like make fun of her again.

I actually really don't like that.

Let's talk about Mari and Kenny.

And why is he nude, even though I don't believe he's not nude?

I saw something on TikTok like literally they had a black box around his like genitals the entire time and for one second they took it off and he was wearing like a blue polka dot bathing suit that was like pulled up all the way like a thong no like it was shorts but he was like wearing it as underwear like he pulled it up that's so weird yeah like he was not naked what's wrong with them like why gimmicks it's gimmicks so fucking stupid so fucking stupid the only thing is so like the ages of everyone are really interesting 23 because we have like 23 year olds and we have 40 year old kenny but But we also, like, Kelsey is 30.

So there's people through like all different ages.

Grocery store Joe is like 30.

Yeah, he's like 30.

36.

35.

And Serena was 23.

Yeah.

So it's like...

If the 40-year-olds are going for the 25-year-olds, what chance does a 30-year-old have?

Totally.

That's such a fair point.

And you're right.

Like, the age thing is very weird.

And I actually really liked Mari on her season.

She was on me too.

On Matt James.

And I was really surprised that she came in like gung-ho for Kenny.

I'm like, ew, really?

No, a lot of people were interested in meeting Kenny.

He had like the worst personality.

We didn't get to know him, but he just was the boy band manager.

Yeah, and he was like starting fight together.

I guess he is handsome.

I just never like,

I don't know.

I just never thought about it.

He reminds me of like that guy from Dukes of Hazard.

He reminds me of Kevin Dylan from Entourage.

Who's that?

Drama, Johnny Drama.

That's really funny.

They look exactly like.

Yeah, I feel that.

So all in all, like it was fine.

I was definitely losing interest as the episode went on.

Like, they they really just know how to waste our time yeah um and i didn't really get particularly invested in anything so i definitely could see myself falling off of this show if it doesn't get better yeah um and i've just i don't know i was so happy to be rid of the franchise like even just like supporting them was really like traumatizing for me but i do have to say i think david spade actually did an amazing job he was very funny um and he he knew his place he's like no one wants to hear what i have to say like just cut to everyone else yeah and like not every single person had to walk down and talk to him like some people just walked in without him it was just refreshing because they waste so much time giving us like nonsensical content with like Chris Harrison and like just dumb stuff.

Yeah.

Also, I don't know why this really bothers me every season that it always starts with the guys having the roses and I think it just always puts the show kind of on the wrong foot where the women like just like like we saw last night like the women have to go out of their way to like court these men the men don't do anything and they and they're proud they're like we don't have to do anything right and i just feel like it always just kind of sets the wrong tone where it always feels like the women are competing and the men get to be so fucking lazy and I don't know why I thought this season that I read somewhere I don't maybe I had a dream that the women were giving the roses first first and I think that would have changed a lot of the tone of the show in a really positive way

and I'm just upset that that they keep doing that that's actually a fail point I didn't think about that either because like they just come in and like on and

The men should have to work harder than the women.

Like these women are so fucking stunning and perfect.

Like put in the work.

Yeah, I think as a whole, like, the group of girls is better looking than the group of men.

Yeah, but, like, it's just, it's, I don't, it's every single season.

At least fucking switch off.

Totally.

Every other year.

Totally.

It really bothers me.

I can tell.

It does.

Um, so that's that's your paradise recap, right?

Anything else?

No,

no, that's all I watched.

I almost watched the SDK, but then I got distracted.

But um, have you been seeing the reports that Juliet and Sam broke up?

Yeah.

Yes, I have seen it.

I can't.

How are you feeling?

I feel really badly about it.

I'm kind of in denial and feeling like maybe it's, you know, for show or something, but I'm feeling really, really, like,

if it's true and it's long last and it's not over and it's not coming back,

I don't know what's going to happen to me.

I want to let you know, like, we are all here for you.

When I saw the news, I immediately, of course, thought of you.

So

I'm sorry, and we're going to get through it.

And you know what?

Maybe it's not a goodbye.

Maybe it's to see you later.

Okay, but like what could have happened?

they were so strong I don't know maybe like with all this

stuff they've been through but like if they could go through all the stuff that they went through on the show and they were fine what could have happened off air no but maybe like when it re-airs and like so many people you know seeing it and talking about it like it brings up it can't be easy It can't be easy.

Well, I'm talking about both of them.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you for your support.

Hi, Ben.

Hi.

Oh, hello, ladies.

Wait.

No, of course.

No.

I had to get one out.

No.

I'm sitting there by myself.

I couldn't do it.

With no signal.

Oh, my God.

No, so the right time for you to do it is right when you get in front of a microphone.

That's a perfect time.

Yeah, yeah, no, that's a really good idea.

How did you get it?

It was one clear.

I love that idea.

Hi, how are you?

By the way, did you guys see that Theo just migrated over?

We did.

We're attached at the hip.

He wanted to meet with mom and pops.

How am I?

I'm wonderful.

Can you talk into your mic?

You're also on a podcast.

Sorry.

Sorry.

That mic is your friend.

Oh, my God.

All right, let me adjust it.

Would you prefer for me to sit back?

I've never sat so far over, you know, without any pillows behind me.

You're used to that.

I don't know if you guys are sponsored by any like arthritis companies.

Do you want a pillow?

Like one.

Take one.

Maybe like one of the four pillows.

Yeah, I use four.

Take it to one.

She could have one of mine, too.

Oh, wow, Jackie, that's so generous of you.

Okay, let's see.

Oh, wow.

It makes a difference.

Like in the couch now.

Okay.

Oh, are you feeling better?

Much better, yes.

Okay, so Ben is here.

We're super excited.

Today's a really big day.

It's August 17th, a day we've been waiting for for a really long time because we have all launched a new company, and it launches today.

It's called Sprit Society.

And I think a lot of people have been seeing like little treats we've been leaving on Instagram, but are confused.

Like, what is a company?

Whose company is it?

What's inside these boxes?

So can you give us your little elevator pitch?

Okay.

Spritz Society.

is your new favorite canned cocktail.

There are many questions.

I don't want to answer like too many of them.

Like I don't want to like divulge too much before you ask questions, but we are wine-based, sparkling cocktails.

We come in four delicious flavors.

Grapefruit, pineapple, lemonade, blood orange.

My favorite's lemonade.

A lot of people's favorites is grapefruit.

Don't write off the lemonade.

It's delicious.

My favorite is lemonade.

Ben, what's your favorite flavor?

Definitely, definitely the grapefruit.

I love the grapefruit.

All of them, we're not going to show you right now, but all of them, when you pour them out, are this gorgeous color that's representative of the box.

So everything that you love about other Spritz is you go to a restaurant, you know, they're very Instagrammable.

Like pretty pink, like, you know what I mean?

Yep.

All the stuff that you're missing from like those gross hard seltzers, to be honest with you.

Well, so let's talk about that, because I think a lot of people assumed that this was a hard seltzer.

Can you tell everyone what the base is and why you decided not to do a hard seltzer?

Aside from obvious reasons, because there's like a thousand.

Okay, so first they're wine, wine-based.

Made in Sonoma.

So if you've had a Bellini, if you've had an Apparol Spritz, if you've had anything like that, it's closer to that than it is to a seltzer, but still a totally different taste profile.

Hopefully you guys agree.

They're so, so good, not too sweet, not too dense.

They're really drinkable.

And they're something that I really love to drink.

Like that's why we did this.

I transparently don't like hard seltzer.

I never liked hard seltzer.

It reminded me of like drinking a LaCroix or drinking a Pellegrino.

Like it, it smells like lemon, but it doesn't taste like anything.

Well, I also think that for me, like my journey, I fell in love with heart seltzers during the pandemic, and then I grew some sort of like, what would you call it?

Not like an allergy, but like an intolerance to it.

You started to become very sick.

They made me incredibly sick for days, and I never had realized.

I just assumed that like a white claw was like a vodka, but it's not.

It's malt.

So a lot of all these, a lot of these seltzers, their base is not an actual alcohol, it's malt, which is just like...

doesn't agree with me and I've heard that a lot of people it doesn't agree with so that's why I was even more excited about this because I was like missing out on the canned cocktail like fun that everyone was having because I can't drink seltzers and now these are so good.

And transparency was incredibly important to us.

Like we, you guys every single day come on the show and you're as authentic as humanly possible.

Everything that we do has always been very authentic and transparent.

And to your point, you were drinking hard seltzer for two years and you didn't even know what was in it.

Like it's great.

Like zero carbs, zero calories, whatever it is, but or 100 calories,

zero calories.

Zero calories.

But you don't know what's in it there are there are like five ingredients on the back of this yeah it's incredibly incredibly clean delicious all natural all natural very very fruity we've got the fruits that's what you said we have the fruits

perfect use

of the

um okay so let's talk a little bit about the process because

first of all How long has this been in the making?

About 17 months.

And like, of course, you've never launched an alcohol company before.

So where do you start?

Like, what's the, was it harder than you expected?

I've never launched any company before.

One quick thing, for the last eight years, everybody's been asking me, what is your job?

And first of all, go on fucking Google.

It's on LinkedIn.

Like, you look at my name.

Like, it always blew my mind that people can't just Google.

Yeah.

Well,

they're not like invading your privacy.

They're actually respecting.

I actually think that's quite lovely.

Okay, whatever.

If you didn't Google and you didn't know previously i've been in advertising and now my full-time job is spritz society spritz season and bringing this company to life so would you say that in this moment it is spritz season

such a good question ben anything to say

definitely spritz season hey

spritz season and so We're launching today, 3 p.m.

Eastern Time.

Oh, of course we have a code for the toasters.

Just have to put that out there.

So it's spritzsociety.com.

And if you go to spritzsociety.com/slash toast, you get the variety pack for 20% off.

So it's one of each flavor.

There's four cans in each little pack.

But now I want to take some questions from the Instagram, if that's okay with you.

Of course.

Spritzsociety.com 3 p.m.

Spritzsociety.com/slash toast, if you want to get the code, but yeah, spritzsociety.com 3pms.

But I just want to make sure it's Spritz, S-P-R-I-T-Z

Society, S-O-C-I-E-T-Y

dot C-O-M

slash toast.

Yeah, which is O-A-S-T.

And you get 20% off the variety pack.

You really don't want anything but the variety pack.

You got to try all of them.

You got to try all of them because then you're like, oh, shit, I love grapefruit.

Give me a hundred of them.

Yeah.

So I would definitely recommend trying the variety pack.

You won't know what your favorite is until you try all of them.

Okay, first question.

A lot of people know if you're going to be releasing merch because they're commending you on the branding being sickening.

Merch will be dropping probably sometime in the next two weeks.

That's insane.

We wanted to have another moment, you know, like this moment is for the cans.

Cans in hands, you know?

Yep.

Beautiful cans.

And then the next moment will be merch.

Nice.

So, yes, for sure.

Do you mind if I pop one of these open in the middle?

Of course, do a little AR cans.

Are they carbonated?

Yes.

Where are they made?

Like, where's the wine from?

People want to know.

California, specifically Sonoma.

And where can people buy it?

Like, can everyone get it?

It's being shipped nationwide, but there's about six states that aren't allowed to ship wine directly to.

I'll tell you what they are.

It's available exclusively on spritzsociety.com.

Over time, we will be in wholesale markets, but for right now.

But if you live in Utah, just spritzsociety.com.

If you live in Utah, Arkansas, Rhode Island, Delaware, what's MS?

Missouri.

Mississippi.

Mississippi.

What's MS?

Like the state, MS.

I'm voting Missouri.

I think it's Missouri.

Let me just Google it.

There are five states, by the way, they know.

If you know, you know.

You've never received alcohol before because your state doesn't allow it.

So as long as your state.

It's Mississippi.

Wow, nice work.

Okay.

That's funny.

I think.

Whatever.

Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi, Rhode Island, Delaware.

Unfortunately, your states do not allow us to ship wine to you, but everywhere else you can get it.

Correct.

Sorry, let me find more questions for you.

Oh, if Theo, Bruno, and Magnolia were each a flavor, which would they be?

That's such a good question.

Can I take a stab at it?

Yeah.

sure.

Okay, I think that magnolia would be grapefruit because she's she's a little sour.

I think I like hard disagree with that, but okay.

Grapefruit is not sour.

No, but like the flavor of a grapefruit.

It has that aftertaste.

And that's like Knoll's.

Like she'll love you and you'll love her.

First she's sour.

Then she's sweet.

Even though first she's sweet, then she's sour.

Okay.

Then I think that...

Theo is blood orange because he's the original.

God, I couldn't disagree more.

Actually, I I agree with that.

He's the original.

Blood orange is like our traditional flavor.

Yeah.

And I think that Brew is pineapple because he is just a good time.

I feel that.

What do you think?

God.

Okay.

Crunch is grapefruit.

I see what I mean.

Because he's the favorite of the bunch.

But everybody has a different favorite.

No, that's true.

Great, so then this is my list.

Okay.

I will give Brew the pineapple because he certainly is a good time.

Thank you.

And I will give Magnolia the lemonade because she doesn't miss a party.

I really like this question because I feel like it's something you kind of breeze by.

But someone was like, I'm one of those people that's really annoying about food allergies.

Are the ingredients on the cans slash packaging?

Every single ingredient's on the packaging.

Yeah, you know, you don't have to legally, so it's a really fucked up.

I was just about to say, if you go and pick up any other canned wine or canned beverage, you'll see some of them do not have nutritional facts on the back because legally you do not need to put them on the back.

We intentionally were transparent because there's nothing worse than needing to search the underbelly of a website to find out like how many calories are.

No, it's true.

Like and the fact that you don't even like legally have to put it on like made no sense.

No sense.

Yeah.

But yes, it's all right here.

Also ABV?

6%.

Great question.

Most seltzers in the 4 to 5%.

Some are even lower.

It had to be high.

It had to be high because, look, we're here to have a very nice time, elevated drink, but at the end of the day, day, you want to have a nice buzz.

Yeah, you want to feel good about yourself.

But you want to enjoy your way to the buzz, you know?

And I think that's really important.

Yes, like we're not just drinking to drink, we're enjoying the experience and they're just delicious because of how good they are.

Yeah.

Sorry, I'm just people are asking a lot of the same questions: like, where can I buy them?

Oh, good question.

What is the difference between keto season and spritz season?

Good question.

Spritz season is keto season.

Keto season is the world in which we all live in.

All the good times, everything is just key to season.

So today, the launch of Spritz Society.

Spritz season is key to season.

Okay, somebody had another good question.

Why don't you call it Spritz Season as opposed to Spritz Society?

Because Spritz season is something that all of you know because you've heard me say it.

But when this shows up in a store and somebody's like, what is Spritz?

Like, nobody, people, not everybody knows what that is.

So

it's a nice thing for us to, like, talk about.

Like, it's Spritz season, but you guys, the truth is, Spritz Society is

us.

Like, the society.

How many fights we got into over the name, like, over the last year, like, you would die.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was a lot.

It was a lot.

But Spritz Society makes the most sense because it's, what?

Oh, yeah.

Claudia and I had some nice name.

We were really busy with like one name.

Claudia and I had some really good name options.

Really good name.

But you know what?

At the end of the day, the best name won.

The best name one.

Agreed.

Agreed.

I'm not bitter.

The best name one.

Do you mind if talk about the name for a session?

Sure, please.

So, Spritz Society, the word society could be off-putting to some.

It's a very inclusive society.

Yeah, not if you watch the society.

Okay, okay, good.

No, it's the society is deep roots in this show.

Yeah.

Okay, good.

I don't know the show.

By the way, when I was sitting over there and you guys are recapping, I have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Bathroom Paradise?

Yeah, I just don't watch that show.

No, it's good.

Save yourself.

Save yourself.

No, don't watch that.

Save yourself.

It's good that I don't watch that show.

I agree.

But so Spritz Society is really just, it's us, you know, it's the toast, it's the bungee, it's the guunge, it's the swunge, it's it's everyone.

It's the community that we build.

It's the crew.

Yeah, it's everyone.

It's a society of people that are like people we want to hang out with.

Totally.

Great fun.

Steamie vibes

forever.

So I think one more thing a lot of people wanted to know is like, what do you, so if you want to start a company like this, like, where do you go?

Like, where do you start?

So what were like the three big things you had to do to get this off the ground?

Obviously, like, fundraising.

Okay, the first thing is you assemble a team of people that are smarter than you.

So, I'm good at what I'm good at.

I'm not good at what I'm not good at.

Like, don't think that I just like

randomly was like starting a liquor company.

Like, I needed people that had experience starting liquor companies.

So, it's one team is incredibly, incredibly important, and I would be nowhere without the team that I built.

What was the second question?

What else do you have to do?

Oh, you know, okay, so you build a team, you go out and you raise money.

Ideally, you raise money from people that can sort of help move your business.

We call those strategic investors.

We call them strategic investors.

You might know them as sharks.

Yes, exactly.

Exactly, yes.

From sharks.

And then from there, you start to,

wow, where do I even begin?

Find cans,

design logos, design packaging.

There's actually a group, I don't know how many of you toasters were in the original Spritz Society, but I sent out a Google form to 3,500 people asking their opinions on logos, flavors, can designs, ABV.

So really, some of you maybe partook in creating this.

But yeah, it's just, it's a step-by-step process.

One could describe it as building the plane while it's crashing in the hopes that it sort of soars again.

You're looking at me strange.

Did I say that wrong?

Maybe it's building the plane while I'm flying it better?

Probably.

Oh, yeah, because if it's going down, like if it crashes, then the plane is.

I liked it, I thought it was easy.

You know what I was saying?

Yeah, of course, of course.

It's stressful, is what I meant.

And like, we're going to make sure that it's not stressful.

You could have just said that.

Okay, whatever.

It's stressful.

Insert analogy.

So, yeah, just lots of steps.

And the biggest one right now is today.

Yep, we launched 3 p.m.

spritzsociety.com/slash toast to get your 20%.

Okay, also, this is just kind of like a more kind of deep question.

So how much was Bruno paid for the cameo?

If you don't follow Spritz on Instagram, which you should at Spritz, we did this sickening like lifestyle video in LA and Bruno was literally the star.

Like all these models, Bruno stole the show.

Oh, yeah, wait.

Can we quickly talk about the handle?

Spritz.

Sickening.

That sexy.

There were questions asking how you got that username.

And I don't think you should tell.

Is what it is.

It is what it is.

Was Bruno paid for his cameo?

He was.

We put it in a fund.

Bruno's college funds.

He was tucked away.

That's smart.

I just didn't want him to spend it all in one place.

I agree.

His mom has some crazy spending habits.

So, maybe he would have bought an L V leash and blown it all.

We need him to save it.

We need to think about his future.

We do need to think about his future.

But Brew had an amazing time on set.

The cast and the crew were so good to him.

And of course, he stole the show.

He wasn't.

Fun fact, he wasn't even meant to, you know, be the star.

He wasn't even supposed to be in it, like, he just ran in, right?

No, and everyone wanted to meet Brew, and they're like, oh my gosh.

And then he gets into the frame and he shines.

And so you know what we call that?

Talent.

Talent.

And so, as his mom, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna dim his shine.

I'm not.

And the girls loved him.

Everybody loved him.

Ladies' man.

He was a ladies' man.

He's definitely a ladies' man, and like he just knew the perfect time to start licking, you know?

Yeah.

Like, he just like right in frame, couple of licks up.

Oh, it's so

masterpiece.

The final question for you was,

as a self-proclaimed keto king, which flavor pairs best with this sushi?

I think grapefruit personally pairs best with everything.

But I do want to like be very clear.

All of these are so fucking good.

I've actually

so, so good.

I've heard most people's favorite is actually pineapple.

Pineapple I love also.

But I just want to say, do not sleep on the lemonade.

It's so good.

And the orange, too.

They're really great.

I've always just loved grapefruit in general.

I think it's just a wonderful fruit.

Can I actually have a box?

I just want to show you sort of what it is.

Jackie sort of did it before, but I don't know if you can see this in-frame.

I don't know what frame I'm looking at.

Look at that camera.

Okay, look at that camera.

Okay.

Spritz Society, gorgeous.

Look at this.

It's beautiful pattern work, isn't it?

This is a podcast, so just make it quick.

Oh, true, true, true.

Okay, so for the people that are listening, we're looking at a beautiful box, and if you were watching the video, you'd know what it looked like.

But you can go to at Spritz on Instagram to see them, or you can order at spritzsociety.com slash toast.

Wait, let me just show them the cans quickly.

So,

open from the side.

Also, very easy to hold, transport, trying to go to a friend's house, go golfing, you can slip it in your bag.

Jacket, you can put it in your LV.

Yeah, they three fit in my golf bag.

I'm just saying, you can't do that with a 12-pack.

Open the side.

Oh, that's true.

Gorgeous.

And this is what this sexy item looks like.

You can have them over ice, pop them in the fridge.

No.

They're best enjoyed chilled.

Oh, yeah.

Nobody, that's honestly, we have to write it everywhere, which I've been thinking about it.

Like, do people ever not refrigerate products?

But if you don't...

Sometimes in a pinch, but it's not ideal.

Yeah, like a warm beverage is terrible.

So for the ideal first experience, when you receive your order, I would just pop them in the fridge.

Maybe an ice bucket.

Make sure they're cold.

For sure.

At spritzsociety.com slash toast to to get the toaster approved discount just for the toaster community.
