What's Your Truth? with Ben Soffer: Friday December 5, 2025

Good morning, girlies. It's the toast.

It's Jackson Claude and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast-five things you need to know.

We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast.

I sound amazing.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday. Hope everybody had a part delicious week.
I'm kicking off the part delicious weekend.

Somebody extremely pargy, my guest co-host today, is a sort of elusive, tall, dark.

Are you okay?

What did I even say? That was funny. That was funny.
I agree. Let's talk about that.
You are. You're elusive.
I'm elusive. It's Ben.
Do you know what elusive means? We're both elusive.

Do you know what it means? Yeah, like fun. It's like.

No. She's like carefree.
Like,

she's so us.

That is not.

Elusive means mysterious. You're very like

you lurk in dark corners. It is my husband, chef, celebrity, Ben Soffer.
Hello, Ben. How are you doing? Hello, darling.
I'm doing wonderful.

Do you feel like maybe you want to talk into the microphone? I'm in it. What do you mean? It's in front of me.
Every time we podcast, our levels are so different. I'm so like normal and loud.

I can't be like this. And like, see, see how you're standing up straight and you're talking into the mic.
When I do that, I'm now over the mic. So what do you want me to do?

You want me to be quasimoto at the mic, down like this? No, I can't do that. So I would have to do this.

Is this better? Bore someone else with the details of your microphone. No, maybe I need like a nice book under my microphone.
Anybody have a nice book? Anybody have a book? My God.

Anybody have a nice book? Just, oh my God. Like.
That looks like a good book. Okay, we've got books.
Smell raw. They're getting books.
They're clearing the shelves. We got a couple of books.

Ready for this? Are you ready? Are you ready for me to talk into the mic?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Okay.
Okay, fine. Okay.
Oh, yeah. You feeling good? I feel great because now my spine is arched.
Okay. I don't feel like, I don't know, like there's like some like spine stuff in my family.

Like I just don't feel like that. There actually is some spine stuff in your family.
Your dad had a C-shaped spine for many years. He's the scoliosis king.
Yeah. He recently had his back like rebuilt.

Completely rebuilt.

He's a robotic man. I think it was 14.
And he's looking fantastic. So, Ben, welcome to the toast.
Thank you. It's been a little bit since you've been here.
A couple of weeks.

What's going on with you? We had a wonderful week. We did have a wonderful week.
Very busy week. We're just like so busy.
Bricks and busy.

I was out on the town, Gary Vayner, Chuck Dinner, Mix game. Oh, okay.
All this stuff, you know?

Wait. I know.
We have to tell everyone. I know.
Oh, my God. She was saving for Queenie Weenie.
No. Okay.

So. Kind of like the biggest deal ever happened this week.
And I was annoyed that

I was annoyed that we weren't doing our regular show. Have I told the story on the podcast of Nashi Newman?

Yes, you've told this story.

Well, that's where I met the great Allie Brunson. Okay, so fine.
Start from the beginning. Just because in case you're new here, this is like sort of Ben's heroic, like

the origin story. This is when I found out that I could manifest this story.
It's really like more networking, but sure. What do you mean it's manifesting? So like what, three years ago?

Three years ago. Two or three years ago.
I think three years ago. It really doesn't matter.
Just get to the point. The Knicks are in the playoffs.
They're playing the Cleveland Cavaliers.

There's an away game. Knicks are up, I think, like 3-1.
They have a chance to close it out game five. In Cleveland.
In Cleveland. My friend Michael texts me.
He's like, hey, I have an extra ticket.

You want to go to the game? I'm like, yeah, hell yeah. I want to go to the game.
Let's go. Booked a flight.
He's like, okay, I'm booking a round-trip ticket. I'm going to stay there overnight.

I'm like, I'm not staying in Cleveland. It's not happening.
There are no commercial flights going back, but I just know for sure somebody's going to fly me back on their private plane.

Now, this isn't rational thought. And the fact that you think like that, like, is so insane.
No, this isn't rational thought. I remember he was like, I'm not booking a flight home.

I'm like, so you're going to come home the next day. He's like, no, no, I'm coming home that night.
I'm like, well, how? Somebody's going to fly me home on their private plane. I don't know who.

I don't know how. I don't know where.
Okay. I don't know when.
Okay.

Knicks win the game. It's a fantastic game.
I'm sitting next to Allie Brunson. I meet her, Jalen's wife, who's lovely.
Jalen Brunson is the star player of the Knicks.

He's the star player of the league. He's like, you love him.
He's the greatest Knicks. Ben and his friends have a group chat dedicated to the Brunson Boys.
They're the Knicks called the Brunson Boys.

I mean, we've been Knicks fans for 30 years, and he is the greatest player yeah he's he's single-handedly saved the city okay what about Carmelo Anthony Carmelo Anthony did he walked so Jalen could run beautiful Carmelo was fantastic and what about Lala Anthony she also walked so that Allie Brunson could run okay okay so allie's his wife Allie's his wife we're in Cleveland I meet her there's a great game whatever I see Courtside.

Again, by the way, all these people, Gary Vaynerchuk. My God.
Gary Vaynerchuk is the thread through this story. He's in the story.
I see Gary Courtside. I go, I say hi to him.

And that's what I do, Ben. I used to work for Gary for many years.
I did. I worked at Vayner Media, running their influencer department for like five years.
No Gary, great guy.

I see Gary Courtside after the game. I go up to him.
I'm like, Gary, how are you?

We're schmoozing.

He's like, by the way, I'd love to fly you home, but unfortunately, I don't have any room on my plane. I didn't even ask, by the way.
He just offered.

He's like, by the way, I'd love to give you a ride home because he knew, obviously, I'm in Cleveland, but I don't have room on my plane. I'm thinking to myself, okay,

my friends. That was my chance, you know? That was the person who was supposed to fly me home.
I'm not going to be flown home. So they did the universe sort of missed.

Yes, I definitely need to book a hotel room at this point. And I'm leaving the arena.
I'm walking up the steps. All of a sudden, I get tapped on my shoulder.
Nice Hasidic boy. Paius? Paius.

One had Peius. One did.
Or maybe.

Or maybe both had Peus.

It was, yeah, it was a group of Hasidic Jews.

And I

was here with my people, Black Hat. Wow.
And they're like, Ben, our wives are such big fans. We're such big fans.
We're from Lakewood. Would love to take a picture.
I'm like, sure. Would no problem.

Jews in Cleveland.

Jews from Lakewood and Cleveland, amazing. We take a picture.
All of a sudden, they're like, Ben, how are you getting home? I'm like, you're fucking kidding me.

You're kidding me. I'm like, I'm probably just like flying home in the morning.
They're like, no, you're coming with us on our plane. Let's do it.
I'm like, are you serious?

Do you have room for my friend Michael? Did they? Yeah. Shout out Michael.
So the Hasidic Jews flew us home on their private plane. Love that.
So that's the last time I saw you here.

That's the last time I saw Allie Brunson. Oh, right.
Okay. Then this week on Wednesday night, Ben's going to the net game.
Before the nick game, I had a work event. Yeah, that's right.

I hosted an event with Weight Watchers and Emily Auster. Yes.
And who's there? Allie Brunson. I finally get to meet her.
Yeah. Jaitlin's wife.
And I'm like, wait, Ben's going to the game.

You should meet up with him. He's going early to like watch shoot around or whatever.
And she was like, oh, no no way. So I put us all in a chat.
Ben comes home that night.

I'm like, did you meet Jalen? Guess what, you guys? Ben met Jalen Brunson. I literally walk into the arena.

I get to the court. Allie's right there.
She's like, come sit with me. I'm sitting with Allie.
We're talking. She couldn't be nicer.
And then at the very end, because it is her husband,

he says goodbye to her.

And she's like, oh, this is Jalen. This is my friend Ben.
And he says, what's up? I shake his hand. And

no homo.

And no homo. He had some of the softest hands

I've ever felt in my life.

I haven't heard no homo in like 20 years.

No homo. Yeah, sure, sure, right.
Let me tell you, the other times that I've met athletes, they always have very calloused hands. Of course, of course.
He must use, I don't know,

it's unbelievable. I've never pillowy.
Does it now make you want to be like a guy with soft hands? No. Because look how you're talking about him.
Like it loves an impression.

And listen, bang on the table more. Do you wish that I had soft hands? Are my hands not that soft?

They're freezing. I know.
They're fine. They're not like hard.
They're not soft. I told you I was cold and you told them to make it colder.
Yeah, that's why I like recording here.

I don't know if you guys noticed. In the beginning of maternity leave, we were bopping around to different studios.
We don't bop anymore. The AC in this place is fire.
Yeah, it's good.

It's better to be cold than hot. And as a nursing woman, it's just, that's what I'm requiring.
Yeah, I could have softer hands. I should be lotioning more.
I do have a propensity to eczema.

And you have seasonal eczema. On one finger.
Yeah, one finger and my elbow. Yeah.
So yeah, I should lotion more. I should ask Jalen.
I should ask Allie what lotion Jalen uses. Yeah.

I'm sure that'll be the end of our friendship.

Like really quick. How did we get to this story? We were talking about our week.
We were talking about Allie Brunson. We were talking about the New York Knicks.
Gotcha. We were talking about.

Big week for us. Big week for us.
Big week for the Brunson boys. Thank you.
Big week for the Brunson boys.

I didn't even tell them no oh my god you're withholding from the brunson boys because like in our children

i i didn't no i didn't want to steal uh my friend gabe's thunder okay

what happened to gabe is

Gabe texted randomly. He's like, I just met Tony Parker.
Oh, Yvonne Goria's ex-husband. I just met Tony Parker.
He's like so cool. He spoke about how Kobe's like a, was like a killer.

Like he was amazing. And I just like wasn't going to like one up and say, oh, and I met Jalen Brunson.
Okay. Like, like, that wasn't cool.
You know, totally agree. And it's.

I do feel like this was like extenuating circumstances, but

so yeah, I couldn't. But now they'll definitely hear.
This is a grapevine. Okay.
Or I'll tell them after this. But yeah, I met Jalen.

I also was there because the great Deuce McBride, who is shooting guard, also starter, his agent had texted, come, let's shmoo this. Vince is really networking his way to be starters.

And let me tell you, Deuce McBride, legend. Not only is he so good at basketball, he's a five and a half month old daughter.
I'm just saying, good for Ruby.

And they're just like so nice and normal. And is this like, what a beautiful week.
Is this your dream? Like you have successfully, I've always said we talked about it on the shows.

It's like the benefact. You're the greatest networker on the planet and you've loved the Knicks your whole life.
It's weird. It's like now being here, it doesn't feel like anything.
That's so crazy.

It's like super cool. If Little You could see you now.
I know, but they're really just like nice, cool, regular people. Athletes, they're just like us,

except so much better. Yeah.
Today's stories, like I just want to give like a brief overview about what's going to go down. It's Friday.
True, true, true. So I have six stories.

I might cut it down to five. I might not.

We also have Queenie and Weenie. I just want to say, I think that we have very strong queenies and very strong weenie.
I just want you to tell your truth. That's very sweet.
What is your truth?

My truth

is that, I don't know. What kind of a question is that? What is my truth? It's a good question.
Okay. I'll think about it.

surrounding myself with good people more of the same so that's more of the same so that's your truth that's my truth what's your truth?

I mean, where do I begin? My truth is

my truth. See, it's a hard fucking question.
What's your truth? I was going to share my truth, but you know what? You should. I've decided to keep my truth to myself.
How about that?

Normalize, like not sharing every thought. I mean, you're on a podcast.
No, you know, I call you tough. Normalize, not speaking.
Okay, the podcast is over. You're so annoying.
I don't understand.

Anything else you want to chit chat about before we dive in? Like, tell me that. Yes, your truth.
No, come on, move on.

What else? I don't know.

Your truth.

Do you really want to know what I was going to say? Yeah.

I'm really, I've had enough of the hate. I'm getting so much hate.
I don't know if you know that. That's my truth about how all I do is talk about a Zenpic and how bad I am.

And it's like, well, you would do it too. Okay.
Like, fuck off. So what I was going to say is, like, I literally spent all day thinking about when I'm going to go back on a Zempic.

Who is giving you that hate? The comments. Okay.
Well, these comments and these people aren't real. Oh, speaking of, did you do your Spotify rapt? Yeah.
What music do you listen to?

No, I didn't do my Spotify wrapped. Do you want to help me do that? I don't even think I was locked in.
Oh, my God. I got a new phone this week.
I'm literally getting calls from a guy, Brian.

I'm like, I don't, I don't know a Brian. Kelly.
Yeah, you are. Okay, sorry.
I don't want to say his full name. Brian H.
Something that starts with an H.

I don't know this Brian with an H, but it's fully saved in my phone. Kelly?

Literally. Like, I don't know who this guy is.
And I'm like, hmm, that actually sounds oddly familiar. And my dad owns a catering company and it's one of his waiters.
I recognize the name.

I'm like, why the hell do I have this number saved? And it's because when I got a new phone, all of my contacts merged with my dad. And his phone number, I accidentally set up on my phone.

So all of a sudden, I'm getting all of Bruce's calls. It gives me no great joy to see you fail.
Yeah, I know.

But it does make me feel. By the way, no, I thought you said the opposite because it gives you great joy.
What do you mean it gives you no great joy? It gives me no great joy to see you fail.

But it is nice to like see you do something on your own that like I normally would help you with and like you fail it's just i feel like it cements my importance in your life like you'll never leave me has anybody ever because i fixed the thing with your contacts kind of has anybody ever gotten a new phone and it just was like a seamless transfer over of contacts yeah who me i sat at my phone like a couple of weeks ago no you were gonna say something though no i was just like sharing that story no no

service. It's a membership, a monthly membership where you don't have to buy designer bags.

You don't have to buy designer jewelry because you can literally borrow them from the Vivrell closet for as long as you want. They have, and I know it sounds like a great idea.

It's something I thought, I wish I thought of myself. And when I first heard about it, I'm like, oh, that's a great idea, but there's no way they have like actually like good, cool bags.

They have amazing bags. They have also no return dates.
So members can swipe, swap items once per month or keep items for as long as they'd like. You can also buy the item if you fall in love with it.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Quince. Here's the thing about being a great gift giver.

When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list, you almost don't want to give it away. And that's what happens when you order from Quince.
Everything is so soft and well-made.

Really tempted to keep it for myself. Quince pretty much has your whole list covered.
I just got that super soft fleece crew. I love it.
Everything I've gotten from Quince, I've really

worn for many years. It wears very well.
They have Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50. Normally you'd pay like $200 or more.
They have the kind of stuff that you'd wear on repeat.

And it's also the kind of stuff in terms of quality that you would buy from like a high-end designer and you would probably pay like more than double for it.

And it's really frustrating to want high-quality items that are in fast fashion, but not have to break the bank. And that's why Quince is such a great sponsor.

So they have like Italian wool coats that feel designer, look luxurious, but they're made with premium materials, but not at a premium cost.

So they work directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices.

And by cutting out the middleman and markups, Quince is able to pass those savings on to you.

All right, Ben, are you ready for the fast five stories? I am, darling. So big news of the morning is mergers and acquisitions.
I saw this. This is.
It's insane. This is nuts.

Netflix is buying Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers owns HBO Max.
So it's kind of like the streaming war is another big move. They have purchased it for $82 billion.

dollars so it's in a move that will drastically reshape the entertainment business netflix and warner brothers discovery have announced on an agreement on friday under netflix under which netflix will acquire warner brothers including the film and tv studios which is like huge warner brothers has been around forever hbo max the streaming service and HBO Max the network where things air.

The deal has a total enterprise value, including debt, of approximately 82 billion with an equity value of 72 billion, the company said.

The announcement of Netflix's deal to buy the Warner Brothers streaming and studios business came after a weeks-long bidding war that pitted the streaming giant against Paramount, Comcast, everybody was trying to get a piece.

News broke Thursday evening that Netflix had entered into exclusive negotiations with Warner Brothers on a deal for Warner Brothers and HBO Max.

Ted Sorandos said on a call on Friday: I know some of you are surprised that we are making this acquisition.

Netflix said it expects to maintain Warner Brothers' current operations, build on it, and strengthen it.

It's a huge huge move my first question is i don't know enough about u.s monopoly law yeah is that like so i had thought the same thing too although it's not i think a monopoly is when you own the entire market there are still hulu disney espn that whole i guess now i feel like we've been talking about the streaming wars for so long so many uh like netflix one so well no so many services have like come and go um some have folded into one another now i feel like it's really like if i'm looking at the chessboard it's gonna end up like 10 years when the streaming wars are over.

It will be Netflix Hulu. And Netflix will be

a huge, because Hulu has ABC, ESPN, Disney. It's a huge conglomerate already.
And now Netflix is building its own conglomerate with HBO.

It's really crazy. I feel like now things like Warner Brothers, like sure, HBO, for sure.
Harry Potter. No, I know.
Steven Spielberg. Like, these are like, it's.

When you see the number, you're like 86 billion or whatever.

But then you think about it and you're like, you're buying the world's most valuable entertainment IP

ever. Well, then also, it's interesting that they said Comcast was also trying to bid it because when I think about what's left on the table of the streaming, Peacock is big.
Peacock is owned by NBC.

NBC is Comcast. So I guess like NBC was trying to make their bones on this deal, but they couldn't.
Where does Peacock fall into this? They probably get folded in. To one of them.
To one of them.

Yeah. I don't know who.
What other services? Am I forgetting any? Wasn't Saudi Arabia trying to buy Warner Brothers? Were they?

I thought the Crown Prince, I remembered reading that, that people were worried. And by the way, I could be totally making this up.
I don't think that I am, though.

That

they were trying to move, because already we're not making the same movies that we once were in TV shows in America. And they were trying, I think.
Like to outsource? To outsource. Well, yeah.

And also, when you think about it. And they have the 86 billion.
But when you think about the types of groups of people who have 82 bill, I didn't know that there were companies in the U.S.

that had that kind of money. Like, it's just so interesting.
I'd be curious to know how much of it is stock. I would assume a lot of it is stock.
It is so much money. Yeah.

No, and you know, when I think about the streaming wars, I forgot to mention also Amazon because Amazon bought MGM Studios. So they have a whole TV studio.
They have Prime Video. So there's Amazon.

So it's nowhere near a monopoly. No, there are monopopopops.
It's just, they're just well positioned as the lead horse because with the best platform, the best infrastructure, and the best.

There are so many. I feel like there was a time where everyone was paying for like 11 streaming services.

We had HBO, we had Hulu, we had Prime, we had Netflix, we had Peacock, we had Discovery Plus, remember? Like so many. And now I feel like they're slowly folding in to one another.

I think Discovery Plus got folded into HBO.

So yeah, I do feel like there'll be like two or three big dogs. And it's a huge win for the consumer because over time, we're not going to have to pay as much.
I don't know.

Just more people are paying that one company. No, but

the services go up. Netflix, remember, forever, Netflix was like $7.99 a month.

If you have like an account that's like a little bit premium and you want to add one family member, it goes up to like $20, $30, $40. So does it? Yes.

Now, let's say they do a Ben Software celebrity documentary. Yes.
What streaming service do you want it to be on? Netflix. Yeah.
Yeah. I use Netflix.

Like, Netflix is when I need a new show to watch, the first place I go is Netflix. Yeah.
If I don't see anything new, the second place I go is Hulu.

If I don't see anything new, oh, I was talking about YouTube TV, by the way. Oh, yeah.
Okay. YouTube TV.
But yeah, that's where I go. Netflix Hulu.

YouTube TV, I just want to say, it's all predicated on live TV. Yeah.
And that is a dying medium. Yes.
So YouTube TV like has an expiration date. I think YouTube TV will be gone in like three years.

Like when you think it was a great

bridge. Yes.
It was a bridge from cable to streaming. Huge bridge.
It was fantastic. But in the end of the day, I don't know why Netflix just wouldn't come out with a live component.
Right.

And they started doing live. They do the not Chris Rock comedy live.
That was terrible, but

they have the fights. They started to do some Love is Blind.
Remember, they did a Love is Blind reading. They just need news.
They're dabbling. They need the toast.

Like they need the toast in the morning. They also are, I feel like this came out a couple of months ago that in the next few years, Netflix and other streaming services are getting into podcasting.

Yeah, it makes sense. They signed a deal with Spotify.
I think that's how they get like their live, their version of daily topical content without going into the YouTube live model.

And then you think about

what role Spotify plays in the streaming wars, because Spotify is the leading podcast. Totally.
No, they probably partner with the Netflix. Well, they just did.

You see?

You see? This is just really crazy. Like, I haven't seen

a number like 82 82 bill in quite some time. No, 82 billion is a lot of money.
What would you do? My favorite question. What would you do with 82 billion? Yep.
I think I'd buy Warner Brothers.

Really? I think that you can make so much money over the next hundred years. What would I actually do with 82 billion?

No, Ben, you're like that guy from the Entourage movie, Haley Joel Osman, who's like rich and his dad buys a movie studio and he just like goes to Hollywood and like has sex with all these different women and yells at everyone.

That's what you would do. We have to rewatch Entourage.
We did start when I was pregnant. It's so good.
It's so good. What would I do with $82 billion?

Retire.

I guess. But like, that's so much money to do so many cool things.
Yeah. Hopefully, like, you would build a test kitchen and then hire a staff to clean the test kitchen.

Like, that's how you would spend your money. That's how I would spend

200 grand of my 82 billion. Build a test kitchen and it needs to be like near our house.
Yeah. And just like also hire a housekeeper for it so you don't have to do the dishes.

Cause I know that's like, that's what's stopping you from becoming like the next great food content creator. Having a studio and having a cleaning lady.

Not even the studio, like the cleaning lady to clean up after you every day. The studio and the cleaning lady.
Yeah.

Because unfortunately, this is honestly, I have a bone to pick with the people that design kitchens. Let's hear it.
Not enough kitchens allow you to film the burner. Okay.
I'm cooking. Okay.

There's a wall. Yeah, in front of you.
There's a wall. Nobody puts their burners on an island.

And actually, I know you're making that about you, but it actually is more of a commentary on women because women are mostly like, you know, historically in the kitchen and they're just sort of siloed like a butler right and that's why when stanley chuci was on ina show and he was talking about how he redesigned his kitchen to have the burner and the stove on the island facing out towards the living room and it changed the the dynamic of his entire family because he wasn't like cooking alone looking at a wall we need to do that

i don't know when but we need to do that we need burners on the island burners on the island

i'm very passionate about this that's really beautiful. I'm very passionate about this.
Our next story is an update in the Never Ending Saga.

I feel like we're going to have a story every day for the next year until June about Taylor and Travis's wedding. Got it.
So the story about the girl who got the hotel

was true, confirmed. And now they've also revealed their wedding date.
So I don't know if any of this is like legitimate, but it was widely reported that they are getting married June 13th, 2026.

That is the weekend that the girl had her wedding.

The weekend would be

on 6:13, 26, which is so tailored. I know.
13 plus 2 times 2, 26. Like, it's so tailored.
Isn't she worried?

The thing is, I don't think she would be able to get married in secret, like, in the U.S., unless she, like, got married at the courthouse or on a remote island.

There's a difference between not getting married in secret and letting people know eight months in advance. Yeah, it's like, it's just like a lot of preparation.
I just like,

I don't know. Like, we think about security on like the smallest level.
She's Taylor Swift. Yeah, but I also just think there's no way that they couldn't have not, or this is all a decoy.
It must be.

Yeah, I mean, she needs like secret service level security. Yeah.
Like, she needs, I don't know, she needs to be protected. She should get taxpayer-funded security.

Kind of how, like, when the royal family goes to the UK, like, they get. By the way, I'm down.
Totally. I'll help her out.
She does great for like American relations. She needs our money.
Yeah.

She does.

That's who we should give our money to. Her.

For sure.

Fuck the kids. Yeah.
Fuck the kids. Her.

Okay.

But yeah, I think it's a decoy. I don't think that it doesn't make any sense to me.

You're going to release the date so early so that people can plan, both positive and negative, storming the castle, which, by the way, are we going to talk about the Diddy documentary or not?

Of course we are. Okay, it's like I thought that you were wanting to talk about it during Queenie and Weenie.
No, we should. All that I'm going to say is when I said storming the castle, the stampede.

What the fuck? No. So we only watched, and I fell asleep in the middle of the second episode.
I finished it. You did?

By the way, you can't fall asleep at 8:30 and was it 8 30 and not allow me to finish the last 15 minutes of a 60 minute episode so we were in the middle of the episode and i literally went downstairs to walk romeo and i came upstairs i literally said as i was sleeping i know i'm going to come upstairs you're going to be sleeping and it's so funny whenever i want to go to sleep at 8 30 you literally poke me wake up wake up wake up if you don't go to sleep at 10 you're not going to feel good in the morning yeah no sometimes i go to 10

at 8 30.

slept like a rock i did actually i didn't even tell you like i woke up i was up for a while in the middle of the night isn't that the worst yeah but that's because you went to sleep at 8.30.

Yeah, I know.

And then I had to wake up and feed. Like, it was not,

I hate, I hate being up in the night, like, especially when you're not up. I know.
I was kind of like moving around a lot, hoping for you to be like, oh, are you okay? I definitely did wake up.

Oh, you did? But you didn't ask me if I was okay. I don't know if I needed to pee or if you woke me.
It's so funny. I think you wake me all the fucking time.
And I always think that it's my bladder.

Like, I'm one. I'm so close to going to the doctor and having them examine my bladder.
Well, you should go to the doctor, but have them examine your brain. Yeah, yeah, sure.
Yeah. Sure.

Finish your thought. Sure.

Have them examine my bladder, but really it's just you waking me up in the night. And then I'm like, oh, I could pee, you know? But my bladder isn't waking me up.
You are.

So this is sort of a theme, like a recurring theme with you that we're. Where I blame you? We're actively working through, like an issue that you have.
Ben will find any excuse to blame me.

Yeah, well. He's like, I have a headache.
Almost because you fucking did.

Like, please leave me alone. I definitely wouldn't blame you with a headache.
I would like to think of an actual example. It happened the other day.
And let's find out if you were to blame or not.

What a fun game.

I hate you. Let's see.

Cool. What's wrong in your life right now? Let's find the source.
Oh, BH. BH.
Well, I would have loved to have gotten my coffee this morning. You did.
It's right there.

I literally see it and it's empty. Okay.

Cool. So what are you talking about? I don't know.
See, just trying to blame me for everything in your life. Maybe.
It's kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Okay.

But I feel like you do that to me too. Oh my God.

I did it again. Okay, I have to stop.
I have to stop. Ready for our next story? Yes, just huge news.
A lot of wedding industry news. Who?

She's off the market. Who did it? Sammy sweetheart, Giancola.
Oh, she has married her man. Also, they had a baby a couple of months ago.
No. Oh, my God.
God forbid.

Ronnie is. Oh, is he a cocksucker? Sorry.
Like, I didn't mean that.

Was he an asshole? He doesn't suck cock. He does suck, period.
You know?

Cocksucker

No,

was he a jerk? Although I will say he really does look like Ronnie. She definitely has a type.
He's a juice head, of course. Squido.

What? Juice head. Oh, no, you were juice box.
Juicebox. Don't get a tweet.

That was the nickname you tried to peddle? Juicebox? Yeah, I've told that story like 10 times on the trip.

Did you re-watch Jersey Shore with me like as an adult? I've re-watched it many times.

It's a crazy journey to go on because you see things through a different lens, like a little bit of a more mature lens.

And what's so crazy was the entire country was watching Sammy Sweetheart in the most abusive relationship of all time. Ronnie Magro is the single worst man on the planet.

He's actually, and I think people know that now, he's had, I don't know if he's even still on the show. He got arrested.
He had like a fight with his baby mama. He's really awful.

And when you watch those seasons of him like throwing shit, literally her bed out the window, like he was fucking crazy. Psychotic.

And then the whole gang got back together years later to do Jersey Shore Reunion. And Sammy was not a part of it.
And like good on her for like putting up a boundary. They did.

But she shouldn't have had to lose out.

She should have kicked out Ronnie. She should have a thousand percent.
She did eventually come back, I think, after Ronnie left or like when she was healed enough.

But to see her journey finally come to an end and like, I'm sure her man is really nice. I'm really happy for her.
And Joey was at the wedding. I know.
I'm so jealous. Like, we need the inside scoop.

Did you get it? Well, he was like drunk, and I was like texting him about when he could come on the toast next. He like wasn't answering me.
I was like, oh, I see that you're at this wedding.

I'll talk to you later.

Camasto. Wedding.
Sammy Sweetheart. So, thank you.

Every now and then, like, I forget, because I know Joey, like, is just like my friend and like toast correspondent, but I forget that he's like deeply entrenched in Jersey Shore lore.

He's been on the show a million times. And I actually just saw this very viral video of Snookie, like blackout in a club falling off a table.
Yeah. And I'm like, oh, someone goes and helps her.

It's Joey. Yeah.
It's insane. It's insane.
It's such a cool,

like, that's what I'm jealous of. That you weren't in Jersey Jersey Shore like Joey was? You know, like, yeah, you loved it.
Oh, my God. And people used to call you Snooky.
Of course.

Which is just like, it's like when people would call me, what did they call me? Oh, my God.

Who is that? John Family. Morbidly obese.
John Candy? No, no, that guy on the voice. That guy on the voice.
Remember? We were literally at a blackjack table. This is probably like six years ago.

Somebody comes up to me. There was a morbidly obese man on the voice with a beautiful voice.
Okay. And he happened to wear glasses.
What was that 900 rounds?

I'm not saying his name because you're calling him fat. Okay.

Well, somebody came up to me like holy is that is that you the guy's 900 pounds like like no no that wasn't me okay that that wasn't me was that also the same trip it's like somebody walking up to you and saying oh are you one of those thousand pound sisters from tlc which someone has said to me before like no but in complete seriousness so was that the same trip that on the way there the flight attendant asked you if you wanted a seatbelt extender that might have been a different trip okay the truth is about that the the other day, the truth is, that's really

on me. Like, I probably did need, like, I'm there trying to jam it in.
Right. Because nobody wants a seatbelt extender.
No, it's a horrible hard extending. The fact is, I went on a plane recently.

We had a lot of times. And I'm 60 pounds less than I was.

And like, the seatbelt's not that loose. Like, these seatbelts are small.
We had to ask for a seatbelt extender the other day for the car seat. Oh, really? Um, she probably thought that.

And it felt different. It felt different.
It didn't feel as worse. It didn't feel as worse.
Yeah. That's so funny.
I know.

Oh, sorry. So back to Jersey Shore.

This is just like, when I see a picture of them, they are like so stereotypical, Jersey Shore. Like religious.
Oh, she's pregnant? They had a baby in May, and now they just got married. Got it.

Just doing things in a non-traditional way. I'm so happy that you said that she was pregnant.
How can I even ask that? Oh, that right.

I look at a woman and I say, like, because maybe she has a belly, I'm pregnant. I'm not sick, toxic.
But she was pregnant. I don't know if she was in this photo, but I guess she's clearly baby.

She's clearly pregnant. Okay.

Otherwise, she's wearing a bodysuit.

that's so funny there are people who will like talk to a woman who's nine months pregnant going into labor and pretend like they're not pregnant obviously she's pregnant yeah and then they'll walk up to just like a fat woman and say are you pregnant obviously she's not fat obviously she's not pregnant she's also not fat well

how many stories have i like we're not blind like i've done three actually i'm gonna do six great

because this one will be quick the camp brock three trailer came out and it affected a lot of people it wasn't really a trailer no but it is setting the scene for what it's going to be be.

And I think it was what we thought. The Jonas Brothers aren't like starring in the movie.

They are in the movie, sort of like they did Full House, you know, like they passed it on to a younger generation. Yeah, which is why I didn't watch Full House.
Fuller House.

Demi Lovato was not in the trailer, but it said she on the thing was, she was an executive producer. All I have to say is I'm disinterested in a Camp Rock 3 that doesn't have Demetria.

Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. So the story picks up when Connect 3, the band, loses their opening action.
That was their name.

This is where Connect 3 connected. The story picks up when Connect 3 loses their opening act for a major reunion tour, returning to their beloved Camp Rock to discover the next big thing.

As campers vie for the chance to open for their favorite band, tensions rise and friendships are tested, leading to unexpected alliances, revelations, and of course, romances.

Camp Rock's all-new campers include bold and determined Sage and her easygoing brother Desi, Camp Boy, bad boy Sage. Sage.
Sage. So this is like Sage, Desi, Fletch, Rosie, Cliff, Callie.
Cliff.

Oh, and there's an intimidating influencer, Madison. I feel like that's the girl who's supposed to be

too cool.

Tess. Yeah, the one whose dad is like

head of the music department. Yeah, right, right.
Yeah, yeah. That bitch.
Yeah. She was so mean.

Who did you feel represented you? Like, who did you? You camp rock? Yeah.

I was,

what was Dami Lovato's character's name? Mitchie. I was Mitchie.
I was Mitchie Torres. Mitchie.
My dad worked in the kitchen. It's true.
You're not a caterer. I was Mitchie.
I was Mitchie Torres.

So for me, I feel like I definitely was a blend of Mitchie because I obviously have the talent. Sure.
But I do have like a bit of the attitude of the bully.

You were 100% tested. I was Mitchie.

That's it. You just bully me.
I also feel like I was definitely

Mitchie's mom. A little Mitchie's mom.
Yeah. She's the

Wizards of Waverly Place mom. What is her name? Mom.
Legend. She's just like a professional mom.
She was a legend. Yeah.
I hope she's in the film. I hope she's doing well.

Maybe she's like running running the camp now. She could be.
That would be classic. Oh, we got to buy a camp.

And we have to watch heavyweights again. That's what I would do with my 82 bill.
Again, all that you need is like

a million. Yeah.
A million of your 82 billion.

But we could make the most beautiful camp with 82 billion. Oh my God.
But I wouldn't want it to be like one of these newfangled camps with like air conditioning.

No, of course air conditioning in my bunk, but not for the other kids. Like you're supposed to rough it a little bit.

Yeah, but rough it, like create just like a beautiful environment for kids to go out and just play. Let me ask you a question.

and canoe and canoodle. In camp, when you went to camp, did your bunks have showers in them or was there like a shower bunk? Showers in them.
And let me tell you, oh my God, did they smell like piss?

Yeah, well, because of boys, I could only do it. We just peed on the floor.
Like they had these like standing urinals. And thinking back on it, I ingrained in my body.
Wait, wait, wait.

You had urinals in your bunk? Yeah. Really? Urinals in the bunk and stalls in the bunk.
Well, in the girls, we had like toilet stalls, but urinals. We're boys, yeah.
yeah, urinals.

But a urinal is not required. Like you can pee in a regular toilet.
You don't have a urinal in your house. You can, but it's actually like harder to clean 12-year-old boys who just pee on the seat.

Like I think the urinal was actually a nice thing. Nated to Bill, would you put a urinal in your house?

Yeah. Do you wish you had a urinal at home? It's interesting.
Yeah, I do.

I do. A urinal would be really convenient because then you don't have to lift a seat.
You don't have to think about it. You don't have to flush.
I would have one of those rainfall urinal walls.

You ever see those? Where like water's constantly streaming? Constantly streaming. What do you think? Joey asked me this question, or I asked Joey this question.
I thought it was a great question.

What is your ideal public restroom? He gave a great answer, the Delta Sky Lounge.

The Delta Sky Lounge is a beautiful public restroom. Right.
It doesn't feel public. The door is closed at the top and the bottom.
Like they're totally sealed. They have great hand soap.

They have both paper towels and air dryers. I think that would be, I think an airport lounge restroom is definitely my ideal public restroom.
That is a great answer. I want nice toilet paper.

I want it to smell good in there. Can I ask you a question? Of course you can.
Do all men's public restrooms have a urinal? Every single one. Even if it's a single stall?

Every single one, unless these like new gender neutral ones, family bathrooms, which are just very inconvenient. It just creates lines.
Yeah. It creates long lines.
Yes.

Like I have to wait for you to take your fat shit while I have to just take like a really quick piss. Okay, fat shit.
Like it's really, it's it's really inconvenient. And like

I we just don't need those lines. Like men have solved that problem.
We're quick. We're in and out.

If you have an issue where you need to use the restroom because your tummy is hurting you, no problem. There's a stall for you.
Yeah. But the urinals allow for quick service.

That's why you always see at a ball game, the ladies' restroom line out the door because you're waiting to get in the same stall

that that big woman is shitting in. Okay, but to be clear, at a baseball game, there's really no lines in the women's bathroom.
There is at the ball game. Okay, ball game.
Or a television concert.

Okay, teleshift concert. Yeah, but that's because there's just exclusively.
Women and no urinal. Imagine that women could quickly pee.
There's no quick.

Yeah. You're waiting in the same line.
It's a layered issue. That's not the only reason.
It's one. Women wear a lot of layers.
Women also like, you know, have tampons.

Like, there's a lot of things that you do in the bathroom that you don't do. Sure, but I think that if there was like women wash their kids,

what about a squatting urinal with a bidet? Splash.

With a bidet. Splash.
Even if it's deep. And I would not use a communal bidet.

That's disgusting. Yeah, I know you would.

I've never actually used a bidet. And I've dreamed of them.
Yeah. I have friends that use bidets.

They like them. They're very European, and they're onto some natural.

It's just the proper way to clean your ass if you're not going to use a wipe. Okay, clean your ass.
Right? Yeah.

By the way, do they know that I'm the number one ass cleaner?

Here's the thing. We've both known to you.
Just so you know,

before you say it, let me just tell you one thing. Don't.

Listen.

Let's just keep some things to ourselves, okay?

Next up. My ass is clean.
Okay. We know.

No homo. Homo.
Glenn Powell has a girlfriend, and I feel like everybody's been waiting for who Glenn Powell's going to date. He was rumored with Sidney Sweeney.
There's been a lot of rumors.

He was spotted with Libby Jade, but it wasn't like a confirmation. Do they know that Glenn Powell is a family friend? Please just stop talking.
He's literally not.

He has a lady, and I don't know who I I would have chosen for him, but I love this. It's Michelle Randolph.
Now, I feel like Michelle Randolph, people know her for a myriad of reasons.

Her sister was the bachelor. Well, no, she wasn't that.
Her sister won the bachelor, which is how like people on Instagram knew about her.

But she was also just like an actress, and she's hustled really hard. And now she's the star of Landman.
Yes. Tyler Sheridan's Taylor Sheridan, whatever his name is, new show.
And.

Glenn Powell's new girlfriend. So Glenn Powell was at first spotted out in a TikTok at like a line dancing bar in Austin.

He lives in austin and apparently uh the girl with him was michelle randolph i saw the video i didn't notice michelle randolph i didn't recognize her then everyone was like that's michelle randolph and now they are confirmed casually seeing each other the duo have been an item for almost two months now according to us weekly calling the romance very new the insider added that they started seeing where things could go around october and they've been trying to keep it under the radar um

michelle randolph for many years dated your good friend greg so i imagine you have

some mixed feelings here no I mean, I met her and she's lovely. Lovely.
And Greg is lovely person. And engaged.
Yeah. Either engaged or in a very long-term relationship.

In a very long-term relationship.

And knowing Greg, he wishes Michelle so well. He's like the nicest guy ever.
I love this pairing. I mean, Glenn is like the king of Austin, right? He's like the UT guy.
He doesn't live in Hollywood.

He lives in Austin. He lives in Texas.
His whole family is there. He's so Texas.
I don't know where she lives, but she's so Texas too because she's a landman girl.

This is sort of just like a perfect land. Southern dream.
Yeah. It feels pretty good.

It feels right it does i can see them being together for a long time me too i love it i wish them well i also think for both of them like career-wise because you know obviously romance is beautiful when you're a celebrity like who you date is a part of like your rise to fame i feel like it's perfect for both of them it is i love it me too

i wish them well who would you date if you were you

i love you

who would you date

me joe manchinello no kidding yes celebrity chef ben soffer there you go um our sixth story is just like a little bit of bonus DJ Khaled made some news, and normally, like, who cares?

But he showed the internet his freezer. People freaked out.
I'm going to make you watch it. I love him.

This, if we had an 82 bill, this is what we would do. You'd love to see somebody use this.
He knows how to spend his money. Press play.

You're going to be shocked. Like, it's actually not shocking.
It's inspiring.

Oh, my God.

Do you know where that is?

His house in Miami. No, I know where that is.
What do you mean this is not his house? It says that it's his house. No, no, that is Mike Meldon's house, Discovery property in the Bahamas.

Oh, you're kidding. How do you know? I've been to that house before.
Wait, I need to watch it again now. I've been to that house.
That's not his house. And that's why it's so perfect.

That's why that freezer is so perfect because Discovery is perfect.

I still bet that DJ Khaled at his house has wonderful staff and is able to do things like that. But yeah, that's not DJ Khaled's house.
Wait, this is so crazy. Okay, exclusive.

Yeah, that's not DJ Khaled's house. That is the Baker's Bay property

in Atlantis. I'm so glad I chose this story.

The Bakers Bay property in the Bahamas. I'm trying to see if the article says it.
It doesn't. They're saying it's his house.
I'm 1,000% sure. I mean, that freezer is fucking crazy.
Yeah.

That's if you have 82 Bill. That's how you live.
And every single celebrity has stayed at that house. They have a rank in that house of like Michael Jordan.
Like, it's crazy. So here are the brands.

And I think we should talk about the brands of ice cream because I like the diversity. Yes.
Because I think when it comes to ice cream, everybody's like Ben and Jerry's.

And it's like, yeah, Ben and Jerry are both like communists and their pints are small. I was going to say, Ben and Jerry's.
I don't care how good your ice cream is. I'm not buying Ben and Jerry's.

I keep saying that and then I buy it because fish food is delicious. But I like that this freezer has like an enormous section.
I'm sorry.

And we haven't even told people what's in the freezer in case you haven't seen the video. It is the biggest, most highly organized freezer with the most insane inventory.

It looks like a backstock room at at a gourmet grocery of every ice cream brand bar you could ever want. So the top shelf, we have two rows of Breyers, which is such an underrated ice cream.

It's a nice consistency. It's not trendy, and I like that their tubs are enormous.
I feel like Ben and Jerry's is like single serving. It's highly scoopable.
Yeah.

You know, like Haagen-Dah's, it's difficult. You need a warm scooper.
Brearers, I feel like you pull it out and all of a sudden

you can just scoop it. No, Breyers doesn't get its love.
Highly scoopable. And Briars Cookies and Cream, which I see in the freezer, is amazing.

Then they have one row of Ben and Jerry's, the small, like sort of single serving.

Underneath, they have a couple of rows of Haagen-Daz. Delicious.
And I feel conflicted about Hagen-Daz because they're good. They don't have amazing flavors.
No, but they have the best ice cream.

I need them to like set their pussy up a little bit. Do you know that Hagen Daz was started by two Holocaust survivors, one of which was named Reuben? I did know that.
We need.

Their Dolce De Leche flavor, Through the Roof, if you haven't had it. Yeah, they don't do like trendy flavors like Jimmy Fallon.
No, they don't. Because they're a premium brand.
I know.

They're a premium brand. Underneath, Underneath, then they have more fryers.
Then there's three drawers that I can't see inside of, but it looks like frozen food, not ice cream.

Oh, no, those are definitely Outshine bars. I recognize

silhouette. Delicious outside.
And then on the door is all like the handheld bars. Yeah.
So I see Milky Way. I see Snickers.
I see fat boys. I'm not a big fat boy gal.
I'm just a fat girl.

I don't know fat boys. I don't know fat boys.
They're like ice cream sandwiches. Oh, I know fat boys.
They're good. You do.
You do. Let me see what else is in the door.
Hold on.

I'm just trying to sneak a peek. Dove ice cream.
I don't love dove. Milky Way, Klondike, Blue Bunny, Outshine, Pops.
Is the Dove ice cream the same Dove soap? No. It's different.
Isn't that weird?

That is weird because aren't they like the same logo too?

Like, how can you do that? It's like a bird, yeah. Right? Yeah, but you're going to have to.
Someone's infringing on someone. 1,000%.

Interesting. Are you ready for Queenie and Weenie of the Week? I am.
And I'm quite excited. So the rest of today's episode is brought to you by Racketon.

If you have used Racketon, you know it's just a supreme way to shop. It is a great way to save money when you shop because you're earning cash back from all of your favorite stores.

And it is especially imperative that you use Racketon over the holidays because you can stack cash back on top of the holiday sales to maximize your savings. So it's savings on savings.

You guys know that every store is like doing the most this holiday season to get your business.

That means they're offering discounts, they're doing big sales, which is great and you should totally take advantage of it.

But you can actually make that work double for you by being a Racketon member.

So if your favorite store is having a sale, let's say 20% off, and Racketon is doing 15% cash back, you can stack both deals on top of each other to maximize your savings.

Stores are going to be at the highest cashback rates of the year because they're having their best sales.

And Racketon is partnering with all your favorite stores across categories like fashion, beauty, wellness, electronics, home essentials, travel, dining, and so much more.

And I know what you're thinking, like, this sounds like an amazing thing, but like, they probably don't work with the stores that I'm shopping at because so many things are too good to be true.

Well, if you shop at any of the following stores, you're wrong: Macy's, Ulta's, Ulta, Adidas, Expedia, eBay, CBS, Target, Nike, Bloomingdale's, Instacart, Levi's, Urban Outfitters, Blue Mercury, WiseSale Beauty, Zappos, Wine.com, Samsung, Lenobo, LG, Sephora, Kiel's, Tarte Cosmetics, Venti Beauty, Best Buy, Dyson, Plow and Hearth, Chewy, Petco, PetSmart, Ugg, Neiman Marcus, Saxfith Avenue, Ticketmaster.

Like I said, keep an eye out for their weekly big deals, revealing where one great store offers epically high cash back for one day only.

The best part about Racketate is that membership is totally free and it's extremely easy to sign up. So if you're not, you're just sort of like shopping, not in a partial way.
So go to racketon.com.

You can download the app or install the browser extension. You can join today for a new member welcome bonus after minimum qualifying purchases.
Terms and conditions apply.

And if you're wondering how it works, Racketon, basically, the stores pay Racketon to send them shoppers, and then Racketon passes on some of that money to its members.

So you're getting paid with gift cards, PayPal, or even a check. And eligible American Express card members can even choose to earn membership rewards points instead of cash back.

They have 17 million members who are already saving. They have saved over 4.6 billion in cash back.

And you can refer your friends to earn even more money. Today's episode is also brought to you by eBay.

Tell me if I'm not alone here. Shopping used to feel more fun.

For all the algorithm fed blah, the endless sea of dupes, buying stuff that like literally arrives six years later and it's not at all what you pictured.

But if you want to find that fun feeling again, you can do it. We found it on eBay because eBay is not just shopping.
It It is a full-on fashion pursuit.

And when you find the thing, the adrenaline hit is real.

Like when you score a rare Adidas collab that lived on your mood board, a Dior saddlebag that you ripped out of a magazine in 2007, but never got over, or something like the...

Cecile Bonson GT 2160s that sold out in five seconds. So it's really about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me.
I'm definitely in my era of looking for kids stuff.

I found, I didn't even know like Tiffany did all these collabs. I got a Tiffany bowl, a Tiffany cup, and a Tiffany mug that are all porcelain and like kids' theme.

It's like Tiffany Firehouse, Tiffany Beach. It's so cute.
I didn't even know they made it. I found it on eBay.
There's always more ways to discover.

eBay has millions of pre-loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by eBay's authenticity guarantee. It's eBay, things people love.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Graza, the best cooking oil. The best oil, period.
So we use it on everything. It's always fresh.
It's single.

It is the best single origin olive oil out there. So Graza is, I feel like the oil everyone's talking about.
It's the green bottle. Squeezable.
Squeezable. They also have glass

that everyone's using. I feel like I saw Nara Smith use it once and I was like, oh, and then Ben brought it home.
It's just a beautiful brand.

And it's, people don't think it's such a great place to shop for holidays. They do really cute, like little party packs.

Like they are, they have a dinner party pack that comes with a limited edition bottle of wine, olive oil for cooking and finishing, plus a custom corkscrew and a bag of extra virgin olive oil, potato chips.

So for the foodie in your life, someone who loves to cook, I know you've gotten olive oil as a gift a couple of times. Their sets from Graza are a a really underrated gift for a home cook.

If you're going to somebody's house, like we're actually, we're going to someone's house tonight. I got to pick something up.
Honestly, this Graza package is a good thing.

A hostess gift. It's just really easy to gift.
It comes in pre-wrapped boxes, and you're getting 10% off your first order on their site.

We personally recommend the new dinner party pack, I think, one of their best gifts, or the duo gift set that is now available in Glass. So head to graza.co/slash toast.

Use code toast to get 10% off your order and get cooking this holiday season with some fresh, delicious olive oil. G-R-A-Z-A.co slash toast.
Code is toast. Today's episode is also brought to you

The fact that they use all payment methods one quick thing i've recently become a costco guy okay and let me tell you do you know how many times i inputted my american express and they kept saying decline decline decline i'm like what the fuck is going on here what is going on here they don't accept american express at costco they're only visa and master card

or a debit card i know that's accept all major credit cards agree the thing is costco like they're like they'll any way that they can save on margin so they can give it back to the customer they're going to do and i think there's like credit card processing it's inethyl it's i understand why they do it but go square i didn't know that i know when's the last time you've been to costco more you know last week what'd you get

what did i get at costco i got ag1 stick packs i got contacts you get your contacts from costco i get my contacts from costco so that you can leave them in my mouth yeah leave them on the floor um

and i actually got a new tv okay slave yeah i did queenie and weenie of the week everyone it is friday it is our final segment of the week where we like to take a look back at a glance look at what the week held in store for us and we give out two awards queenie of the week and weenie of the week and it's pretty self-explanatory if you find yourself queenie of the week you probably did something queenie worthy and if you find yourself weenie of the week it's not a big deal it's not you know you're not a criminal it's a seven-day title you know someone could be queenie of the week one week and weenie of the week next week it's never happened but it could um

don't take it too seriously so let's start positive right i think so we start queenie okay you want me to go first yeah sure my queenie of the week is mr curtis jackson some of you know him by uh 50 cents his stage name and let me tell you this man not only does he not give a fuck, okay?

But more importantly, by him releasing this, if you guys didn't know, he's the one who put out this Diddy. He's the producer of the Diddy Dick.
He's the one who did this documentary.

They have like a long-standing beef, and 50 Cent will never let it go. And of course, P.
Diddy is the first thing. Do you know the original beef? Like, what's the original beef? I have no idea.

Maybe they'll get to it in the documentary. We're only on episode two.
It's amazing.

All that I know is that what Diddy did, this is not, like, even if you haven't watched the documentary, you know that Diddy

is a terrible person. Yeah, and the fact that the entire rap community is silent about everything that he's done from Jay-Z to like you pick, and maybe they're not friends, okay?

No, I think that I think P. Diddy knows a lot about them, like he was the biggest

most influential. No, you're right, but I'm sure he's

the only person. But it feels very Epstein files-y, and nobody's talking about it in that community

except 50 Cent, who literally just came and bought all of this footage. Diddy must have been shooting a documentary for himself.
He probably felt that.

And then when he went to prison, he wasn't going to get indicted. And this was going to be like my, his documentary of like, my truth.
Look, I've been freed. And no, you're literally in jail.

And so it's literally a combination of self-shot footage of Diddy

with past.

like an archive. And I'm learning, we're learning so much.
This stampede, like, yes,

a lot of people don't know that Diddy became like famous

at first, like his first brush with fame was really negative. He was like starting out in the hip-hop community.
People knew him, but like not really. He's not himself like a rapper or a singer.

They were joking that he has like literally no musical talent, which is why he was so jealous of everyone. No, he's like a

producer, but also pacemaker stylist. Yeah, and by the way, super talented at doing that stuff.
Yes.

And like the world's best promoter at the time. Like if you wanted to bring people to a party, that's who you call.
And so he. So he had hosted this like charity community baseball game.
Basketball.

Sorry, basketball game at like a gymnasium at the CCNY. And it was like a really unruly event.
There was like no sort of like security guardrails in place. He invited everyone.

He made the tickets $12. Like, and literally there were so many people there.
It was such an unorganized event. 5,000 people came when I was a school gymnastian.

He had like for like a thousand people. And there was a stampede and nine people died.
And nobody was ever held responsible. And like, how have we never heard that story? I know.

Well, I mean, it was a really long time ago.

And we're only like, we still have a lot more to go in the documentary, but this is like the the thing that put his name on the scene, and it was really negative.

And so, how he set up his businesses for the next couple of years were really intentional because he was technically like financially responsible to the families of the people who passed away, and so he would like put things in his mother's name.

He would not put anything in his own name because, like, he, you know, the victims' families could come after it. So, just like really sinister stuff since the very beginning of his time.

And we know him for like all the things he ended up doing in music and in fashion and in culture. But like, that's how he got his start in terms of like people knowing his name.
So, yeah, Mr.

Curtis Jackson, Mr. 50 Cent is my queenie of the week for putting together a wonderful educational documentary that's also very entertaining.
It's really good.

It goes deep on Diddy because people are here like in the comments like free Diddy. It's like, are you fucking nuts? No, it's really bad.
And they have everyone.

Like there are people who started Bad Bunny like with, sorry, Bad Boy Records with P. Diddy.

Like they got everyone in this documentary, victims of his, people who have known him since childhood, people who have worked with him up until recently.

Like everyone is singing for their supper in this documentary. And we're only through two episodes of four, but like his gang affiliations run so crazy.
They run deep.

It's a really good documentary, especially if you don't know like a lot about the hip-hop scene at the time, which I did not. I think they explain it really well.
It's really good. Really good.

He's your queenie. My queenie, I have two.
Sorry. I have two

because.

Ben and I started a show this week that has brought me so much joy. I haven't even talked about it on the show.
So we started Nurse Jackie, which is just like

an old show. I don't know why we started it.

I saw a clip of it on TikTok. You know how TikTok puts like TV shows, 30-minute TV shows and like 15-minute videos.

And it looked like interesting. I was like, oh, she does drugs and she's a nurse.
Ha ha. So we were just like so desperate.

And you know, when you just like have given up, you just like fucking put something on. I'm so glad I did.
We have been loving it. It's really.

It's a great show that we watch every night together and I'm loving it. So shout out to Queen Nurse Jackie.

And then also, I would be remiss, devastated, and heartbroken if I didn't acknowledge my queenies of the week as the toasters this week because Spotify wrapped came out this week along with YouTube did their own version, like YouTube wrapped.

So I saw people tagging us in like literally how many minutes they watch. And I know we're a daily show, but like people being like, oh, you watch 300 videos this year, a total of 11,000 minutes.

Like that's insane. And I saw so many people tagging us.
Like the sheer volume, the amount of time listened, the amount of episodes listed in, I just didn't want it to go unnoticed.

It's really like an insane metric. And I saw other people sharing theirs and we're daily.
So ours were just like so much bigger.

And it's not. you know, a statistic I take for granted people spending their mornings with us.
Totally.

So I just want to shout out to all the toasters, the wrapped up toasters this weekend who spent the year with us. Queenie behavior.
Yes, it is queenie behavior. Weenie, Ben, would you like to?

Yes. My weenie of the week is you.

Of course. I'm sorry.

So we... Oh, wait, what? Yeah, my weenie of the week is you.
So we, they know about Mark Schoenwetter and us filming. No, I haven't told everyone.
I saw Mark Schoenwetter this week.

We do a Hanukkah video every year, and we had a video shoot this week. It'll be coming out soon.
I don't want to spoil it, but it's me, Mark, and Ben. Yeah, it's the three of us.

And we're just like shooting the shit. We got there like a little bit early with Mark's daughter.
And we're talking to Mark's daughters. yeah, I know, and we're talking about Ruby.

And they're asking about his sleep schedule, they're asking about his sleep schedule. Yeah, by the way, do you want to let me tell?

Well, because you're gonna tell, you're gonna tell me, I'm gonna tell the truth. No, you're not, you're not, you're gonna tell the drama version.
I'm here to tell the truth.

And she asked, She's like, Oh, does the daughter asked? Uh, the daughter asked, Oh, does Ruby still sleep with you guys?

And Claudia said, No, like, you know, we were waking him up in the middle of the night, farting. And

are you crazy?

That's not she literally said, verbatim that our farts were waking him up in the middle of the night she's like yeah you know like we were waking him up just like farting and okay so if you want to

if you want to know what actually happened you're my weenie of the week for how you retell that story okay what happened was

They asked, like, how's Ruby? You know, things you ask a new mom, like, how's he sleeping? Is he still in the bassinet next to you?

And I was explaining that he was in the bassinet with us for the first couple of months.

And when we took him to the pediatrician at three and a half months, she did suggest actually moving him to his own crib because we were farting.

No, because at first, a baby's sleeping next to you, they smell you, they hear you. It brings a sense of comfort.
They're not like freaked out.

But as the baby gets a little bit older and a little bit more aware of its surroundings, you actually start interrupting the baby's sleep because you don't realize human beings sleep very loudly.

You toss, you turn, you cough, you sneeze. Agreed.
You snore. Agreed on all those things.
You farts.

The first thing that you said was fart. So when I was telling the story.
Admit that the first thing you said was fart. Shut up.

When I was telling the story, I said, you know, we did move it because the pediatrician told us like we were actually probably waking him up as he's becoming aware with like our farts.

I said our farts. Snoring farts was first.
Was it? Yes. I don't believe you.
We wake him up with our farts. Was the first thing you said?

Weenie. I didn't say farts.
You're weenie. It was a wonderful episode, me and you.
It was. This was a, I mean, this is five stars.
Otherwise, what are you, nuts?

Thank you guys so much for another great week. Oh, I did want to tell everyone.
Next week is our final week of the year. I don't know if we've mentioned that.
December 12th is our final episode.

I've got great guests coming up next week. I don't know if, Ben, this might be your last episode because I kind of don't have space for you next week.
What do you have next week?

Oh, wait, you do your videos here. Yeah, yeah.
Or sorry, your big videos here. Thank you, bro.

Yeah, my bad. So if you'd like to say anything to the people who have supported your episodes, you were a beloved co-host.
Feel free. All I want to say is I love the toast.
I love the toasters.

I love you for having me on.

If you want more of me, I have a podcast called The Good Guys, and it's great. She was saying, oh, it's bad if I had blah, blah, blah.
