I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday that feels like a fucking Friday, bitch, because we're fucking celebrating.
Jax and Claude is coming to town. Jax and Claude is coming to town.
Jax and Claude is coming to town. That's right.
We're singing synchronistically because Jax and Claude are coming to town. Hey, Jax, synchronously because jacks and god are coming to town hey jacks how you doing um doing good i am in new york city the big city big city slicker look at me all black actually tiny she's a tiny little fragile little city slicker oh tiniest she's like too precious to walk down these streets you are too precious to walk down these streets I always was like even when i lived here i was not the elk of new yorker you were not made for city slicking and now like a fish out of water i'll take an uber i'd never know you weren't a big new york city gal with your all black outfit your slick back bun she's cosplaying she's doing what she does best she's larping as a new yorker today i am even though i'm a new yorker which is so crazy you are i never was no not in your in your true heart i was here 10 years i never was also we're doing something really fun today which is vlogging our day we have such a busy day you guys not to be such annoying influencers influencers and content creators only do like a day in the life when they're super busy which is what we're doing today which is what we're doing today but we're also doing like a lot of interesting stuff so even if we were this busy every day I would still choose today to vlog because there's a lot going on like we're shooting a commercial we're gonna be on set on location actually on location we have a guest interview we have a gno tonight right I'm trying to get my hair cut because I missed my haircut yesterday if you're wondering my hair looks like this it's because i thought i was gonna have a pardy blowout this morning and i don't for my big commercial yeah but i'm just gonna be a slicker for my commercial i think better for the vibes of the commercial creative of the commercial actually the role that you're playing is like slick is slick and you guys are probably wondering like don't you guys have hair and makeup for your commercial no no no we don't that would require us waking up earlier so we politely declined.
So we don't have hair and makeup for our big commercial. That's why we look so Pardy-licious today.
We have so much to do. Like we have a Pardy show.
We also have kind of an inaugural moment here in Toast Hursery. This is Jackie's first time visiting me at our, yeah, that's right, Jackie also plays for the studio, our new studio.
You haven't been to the new NY new NYC HQ yet give me your thoughts we got her whole reaction on the vlog that we're vlogging of course but tell me your initial thoughts it's nicer than I expected I don't know why what did you expect just like it's lighter and brighter and like more Kardashian than I thought like oh you know what I mean my god the beiges and the pinks like it's a very Kardashian vibe am I at Kylie Cosmetics offices wow okay I was like a little nervous about you coming because first of all like you do contribute to half the rent so like you do have a say and like and also I didn't want her thinking like I'm you know like a rat in my New York City disgusting dungeon studio so like I over the last since I found out you were coming I've been, I've been making improvements. Like I had the wallpaper put up, little things, like I got all the boxes cleared out.
Like I really wanted you to, you know, respect our NYC HQ because I respect our South Florida HQ. And now our new one.
And now our new one. Yeah, so I think it's really great.
I don't know why, even when you show me this wallpaper on FaceTime, like it just looked darker. Like everything, just the color of everything is different.
It's a's a very porridgey vibe in here so it's not like i was expecting to come to a dump but like part of being in a studio was like you want a dumpy vibe because it should be like dark dark and quiet um and no it's light and bright and i'm enjoying my time here okay she said it's kardashian i did and i meant it we have actually such good stories today a lot of internet drama not drama but like the internet swirlies were making news yesterday yeah My group chats were popping off. I could not.
Yes. I meant it.
We have actually such good stories today. A lot of internet drama, not drama, but like the internet swirlies were making news yesterday.
Yeah, no, my group chats were popping off. I could not keep pace with them because I was traveling and as I said, like I missed my haircut because my flight got moved.
That's disgusting. It was just a long travel day and I couldn't even keep up with my group chats because that's so much the internet was talking.
Yeah, lots was going on. We're going to talk about the Alex's.'re going to talk about remy on chloe's podcast and then some other human interest type stories to to get you guys settled into your days yeah it's thursday usually we'd have summer house recap but due to all the travel the delays went out to dinner last night so it's not just me because zach actually turned it on the hotel tv he turned on summer house and i was like no yeah he's not watching i could have watched it when I got home, but like I'm a pregnant person.
I need to be asleep by 930. And I did get home at like 945.
So that was hard for me. So no Summer House recap this week.
This week is just like a little, where the toast, where Jackson Cloud in New York City giveth, it also taketh away a little bit. Yeah, we're not in our routine.
Even though last night was like our episode. It was? It was like Craig and and kyle okay it's been our episode for like four weeks so i kind of it's kind of like the boy who cried well agreed agreed but of all the episodes for us to miss like we would miss this one but it's fine i'm sorry i we were sat for the last four we were sat for the last four i had to move on with my life um so what was i saying before what weren't you saying oh yeah i went out to dinner i had salmon I thought you got spaghetti pomodoro I was going to get spaghetti pomodoro but then I forgot about a kind of like a major life event that happened to me yesterday okay I went to the doctor for you know my visit and I always when I go to the doctor there's like two appointments you do the scan and you check on the baby and then you go check on you well you go upstairs and you get like you get like your blood pressure, your pee, your weight.
And I always, the nurses are amazing. They're like, we're going to weigh you.
And I'm like, okay, I'm going to turn around, take my shoes off. Like, please just write it down.
I'm not interested in knowing. And I can't be the only one who says that.
They're like, of course, of course. And they've respected it every single time.
And they're like always hyping me up. You know, like, Queen, you look beautiful.
Yesterday was no different. Queen, you look beautiful.
I said, thanks, Queen. Then I went into like a different office to talk to the doctor and she was like, you need to get blood drawn.
So on your way out, she gave me like this paper. It's like a form that you take to the lab to give to the lab person to be like, hi, I'm here to get my blood drawn.
And I don't know why the fuck I looked at it. I never thought for a second my weight was going to be on it, but it was on it.
Now it's also funny because it was like a lot of words on this paper. My eyes found, like I just saw weight.
It's actually insane how my eyes were looking for it. And this is the first time I have found out my weight since probably like my first or second appointment.
Like, so when I was like 13 weeks, I just decided that I wasn't going to keep up with my weight. Now, if I could do it all over again, I probably wouldn't have not known.
Not to even change the number that it is today, but just it wouldn't have been so like surprising to go from the number you were at before to the number you're at now. Yeah.
And to be honest, like I really had no idea what I was going to be at. I'm like, maybe it's not so bad.
And like it was, it was pretty much as like bad as it could be. How much have you gained? Um, I won't, you don't have to tell us your weight, obviously, us your weight obviously like we're not psychopaths yeah well when i when i went to the family chat to just sort of like say i was literally crying she was crying she's like i'm tearing up like they i accidentally saw my weight and jackie's literally she didn't even say like oh she goes what was it i need to i need to work with the facts before i can have emotional response um so all that to say yeah i didn't get the pasta last night.
But also because- Wow, that's how much it affected you? No, actually not really. Dr.
Fox just keeps telling me I need to eat more fish and meat. My iron levels are low.
So I was like- That's because you're so skinny and small. That's what I thought, right? So color me so surprised when I saw my weight on the form.
So I don't like to eat fish in my house. I can only eat fish at a restaurant.
Do you know what I mean? So I never go to a restaurant. So I was like, you know what? I should have the fish.
Don't worry. I also had pizza and like so much bread.
I was fine. You need a fish pasta.
No, no, I don't. Yummy.
And so if anybody's like in my position where it's like weight is your whole life and like you've lost a lot of weight and now like you're getting pregnant, you have to go back. I would suggest not turning a blind eye.
I don't think it was my wisest decision, but there was so much change, you know? Yeah. I couldn't take it on.
Yeah. It's good to know just so that you never see like a jump of 30, 40 pounds.
I don't know what the actual number, because I don't know what you were before. I only know like your new weight.
So I'm not saying that you have gained 30, 40 pounds. I have no idea.
I wish. Oh God, wait, you're making me feel so much worse.
30, 40, I wish. How much have you gained? That's not bad.
Stop, no, it is. Just know, like, Kylie gained 60.
It's bad. No, and then I, like, posted.
I gained 60? Yeah, I just have some time left, you know? Yeah. Well, I posted this whole saga on my Instagram story, and, like, people were very quick to, you know, chime chime in with their responses and I just want to say to the people who were like trying to be helpful being like I get it I gained 30 pounds like 30 pounds is so not a lot and what people don't understand that I know I'm gonna make it worse for us but you guys need to understand how bad we have it it's that we are short so like Kylie gaining 60 pounds and me gaining 60 pounds is not it's a you gaining 80 yeah like i like to tell myself oh kylie did it too but no it's so much different when you're short it's so like yeah for short people you probably gain 30 40 pounds and that's a lot when you're in the 50s and 60s like that's a lot a lot and if you and i just want to say like any amount that you gain because someone's sitting there who's short who gained 80 pounds and you know what i mean and like that is going to be me like wait fuck but every pound you gain is beautiful that's why like yeah not only should you keep a breast just to know so you never see this like stark change but you have to just make peace with it you have to make peace with it like no I know and I felt like no breast feeding and ozempic are waiting for you I felt like a brat like being upset about it especially after like a clean bill of health from the doctor like that's all like the fact that I walked out of the doctor and the thing I was thinking about was my weight, not the fact that, like, the scan went great.
Like, it's so. I'm sorry.
I'm a human being. And, like, it is what bothered me.
And, like, that's why I'm crying in the car. Like, an actual six-year-old.
But, like, I wish I could change my perspective. I can't.
I'm sorry. Like, I know what everybody's saying.
You're right. Like, Margaret's sending me inspirational text messages.
Like, with the wisdom I know even though like I wanted to slap her she was like she said the thing that like I just hate you're literally going to hear it like shut up like she's also on her camera ab in the mirror like yeah no and to be clear I'm gaining I'm growing a four pound human okay like let's just be real I know but you really have to make peace with it and I feel like you know that you should but you actually haven't tried to I know that I should and I actually haven't tried to 1000% I have a lot going on I'm shooting a commercial today like I just can't I really can't and it's just when when you're at a weight that like you hate so much and then you finally like you fulfill your life stream of getting away from that weight which I did thank you Ozempic you think you're never gonna return I like turned my back on that number and I'm like see you never bitch meanwhile see you next year yeah that's so different it's so different it's so different I know I know I know so that's why I had the salmon no I'm kidding that isn't why I had the salmon but it wasn't not a factor I'm just gonna I'm gonna try to walk a little bit more i'm really not gonna i feel like you've been healthy though or you do just pretend like to the family that you're healthy oh does that does it come off that way i'm not trying by the way sometimes i do put my best sometimes i do put my best foot forward and like lie to you guys i don't feel like i've been doing that okay how do you think that i've been healthy like i just i've not seen you like like order like a crazy meals and you don't post like huge amount like you go and you go to the diner and then you then makes you dinner like it's like very balanced i thought so that's what i thought i'm not hiding what you're doing i think you should keep doing what you're doing okay yeah except now i'm just like really especially my physical therapist said like try and walk as much as you can so i'm trying to get in like 5 000 steps a day which is just good for like life, you know? But I was having round ligament pain, so I really couldn't. Now I'm feeling better, but whatever.
It's fine. Like whatever.
Yeah, make peace. It's whatever.
Well, thank you for sharing that and being vulnerable. It's actually going to be a theme of today's episode.
I know. We're going to talk about Remy making news on Khloe Kardashian's podcast.
Yeah, I'm happy for Khloe. I'm happy for Khloe too.
This was a good get. I actually.
It was a mutually great gets for each of them. Yes I knew Remy at some point was going to like share her journey and I was wondering where she was going to do it.
And I actually can't think of a better place. No and Khloe's a new podcast so of course she didn't like come to mind but they're friends.
Khloe's obviously been through weight loss and also weight criticism yeah like being in the spotlight about your weight throughout her it was really perfect and like so premium it kind of looks like this because it was like very Kardashian correct so it kind of looks like this show she also is I can't lie I haven't watched any Chloe in Wonderland it just hasn't been enticing to me yet but that's podcast every episode like is for
everyone else and i watched remy's let me tell you chloe is a very good interviewer because she
knows how to listen yeah which we're still working on critical skill yeah and i also finally understood

Alice in Wonderland no it's like it's all about things she's curious about so it's like she's in wonderland of a land of wondering about things oh okay that's actually kind of pardy for a podcast because she'll talk because when on the episode I was watching she was talking about how she'll have people come on and talk about you know the pyramids like please no okay I've so had enough or the how the earth is flat please no but I felt like you know all that stuff and that stuff plays so well on podcasts it does theorizing conspiracy and everything all types of different just wonders um so I put it all together and it was quite pargy well um it was my first time watching it's really high quality it's funny how um the Kardashians like invented remember that photo booth that they used to have everywhere murmur and like it was like they were posting these pictures from events on Instagram, and they were so beautiful.
And then everybody started getting the Murmur at their own wedding. And whatever they did there, they applied to her podcast.

That's T-R-Y-A-R-M-R-A.com slash toast tryarmora.com slash toast thank you you are just like so welcome our first story influencer remi bader admits to weight loss surgery after months of speculation remi joined chloe kardashian on her most recent episode of chloe in wonderland and shared that she had a brand new newer surgery um which helped with her weight loss over the last. So she revealed that she underwent a weight loss surgery that cut 80% of her stomach amid months of online rumors, speculating that she was either taking medication or got surgery.
She said what everyone online, of course, at this point, everyone online is like, okay, well, she did one of the shots or she did the sleeve or something. No one guessed this.
She admitted that she got a surgery called S-A-D-I, otherwise referred to as single anastomosis duodenal switch. She kept referring to it as Sadie.
Oh, I was going to say Sadie. Of course she did.
Of course I was going to say that. Of course you were going to say it wrong.
So the website explains that the Sadie procedure combines sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass to promote greater weight loss. It's a form of bariatric surgery, which we all know as a gastric bypass, the sleeve.
This is a different type of tube shaped sleeve as well, separating the top part of the small intestine to below the stomach before reattaching it to the bottom part of the intestine. So basically she got 80% of her stomach cut out.
Yeah. And so I watched the episode.
Um, she spoke a lot about like, before she even said that, like I had had surgery, she wanted everyone to understand like how she got to the place that she did, which I appreciated because she found herself in like a precarious situation where she became like the face of the body positive movement. And she has said in this interview, but, and I know her personally, she said it to me, but she says it in every interview she does.
She's like, hi, I'm not body positive. Like I don't love my body.
I actually hate my body. So when you become the face of like, you're supposed to love and accept yourself and then you do something drastic to change it, she's received a lot of criticism for that.
So her sitting down and like really explaining it with somebody who gets it was very smart now I think people are kind of committed to misunderstanding and just disliking the fact that she did this because I've seen a lot of like people just making tiktoks about it and they they just they they hate that she did it you know yeah it probably feels like a betrayal because like, even if she didn't want to be, but she was like the face of this movement for them and felt like a role model. But even following her at the time before she had the surgery, like, and she shared even more about her poor health status on Chloe's podcast.
But even you could just see in her videos, there were days at a time where she couldn't get out of bed. Because of her back, her knees.
She had like multiple back surgeries so that's the stuff we knew and she shared but stuff that she didn't share that even as her friend I didn't know was that actually when she um one of the things that really drove her to make the decision to get the surgery was that she was told she was becoming infertile because of her weight and that was something like she never expected um but yeah like sleep apnea she you know if she fell or something it really um I know that she fell and her, like her knee gave out. So there were days where she couldn't walk.
And then she just has like genetic and hereditary back issues, which were exacerbated. So she was like, you know, a 27 year old girl who had two, two back surgeries.
Like that's not, you know, a normal place to be at. So she very much said like my weight was the reason for my declining health at 27 years old.
Right. And I think that just followers of hers without like having inside knowledge could see that, that it wasn't like this amazingly positive thing all the time that was like really weighing and negatively impacting her quality of life.
Yes. And her relationships too.
She had spoke openly about like her romantic relationships, but also her relationship with her parents, like, cause they were really worried about her and like, there's really no way to say it in a good way. And in a way that the person wants to hear.
And it's like, thanks. We've all been there.
Like, so it just was impacting every. And so she spent the first like 30 minutes of the podcast, just really letting people know what her life was like before.
Just so like, I think to deflect any sort of criticism of her decision to do it. Now it, people are going to hate regardless, but she really wanted people who were open to understanding her journey to get that.
And I feel like she did a good job. Then she shared the actual surgery process, which honestly sounded horrible.
So, um, she happened to have had like a, it's a, it's a decent recovery and she, like everything that could go wrong did. So like, you're supposed to feel sick for sure for a couple of days she was sick for six weeks she had to move home she like couldn't take care of herself um throwing up just really really like bad and hard and she was also then like freaking out being like what the hell did I do like I changed my body and now I feel and I'm having an abnormal reaction to it did I just ruin my life like am I going to be in the hospital for the rest of my life which I didn't even think about that part but like that must have been a bug out right like you made this huge decision it seems to work for everybody else you've never heard that other people are in the hospital for you know weeks at a time and like did I do something wrong so then that's like the panic of that eventually like she just she said also when they when they cut her open to do her stomach she also they found that she had a really fatty liver so they had to do like other things um and now like the person we see now so she said it's been a little under a year she's lost 140 pounds the person we see now who's like so feeling so good looking so good um like that was not the reality for the majority of the journey and that's part of the reason why she didn't share when did she start to feel better was it six weeks I feel like it was like two or three months okay um and I remember like at the time like watching her content like you could see like her quality of like she was home her quality of life was really not that of someone who is you know successful and young and and in love and it was just it was it was crazy to watch her relationship she was still in her relationship and he really like didn't know how to take care of her because it was so crazy so she moved home yeah that okay I mean I know that they ended badly but that feels like no I mean I wouldn't know what to do like it's crazy um and so the backlash of course has been swift and kind of the the recurring thing is like well she should have been honest she should have been open she shouldn't have told people that she was body positive and she shouldn't have told people that um she did this with diet and exercise and to be clear like she didn't she didn't she didn't say that she did it with diet and exercise she just never she's ignored it she just ignored it and as somebody like who did something similar like when my weight loss was becoming obvious to people and they would like start commenting Ozempic, like I blocked the word Ozempic.
Like I wasn't ready to share it yet. Um, and so I come from a place of like complete understanding.
Like I totally side with Remy. Like not only does she owe nobody anything, even as the, even if she was like the most body positive face of the movement, she still doesn't know anyone, anything about like her own private medical journey.
Um, and the fact that she she did share in her own time like I do think will ultimately benefit people because she's not coming on here like endorsing the shit out of the surgery she's not being like everybody should get bariatric she's being like it was really hard it wasn't what I expected now I'm at a place where I can look back fondly on the experience but at the time like it was not they say it's like the easy way out right she's like it was not how does she feel now though because like yes the recovery was hard but it seems like the whole thing this is a whole even like inadvertently an endorsement of this surgery because she looks amazing she sounds happy and healthy and like that she's you know able to really enjoy her life now so even though obviously it's hard you go through a lot, this does feel like an endorsement whether or not she's endorsing it. Well, she maintains that like this place that she's at now where we're all seeing like a much happier, healthier version of her physically, mentally, job-wise.
She really maintains that like it's not all due to the fact that she lost weight. She did other work on herself, therapy, obviously getting out of the relationship and then being heartbroken for the first time.
Like she feels like she's on the other end of like a bunch of things that have all contributed to this like newer version of herself. But I think that she feels if she says, and this is just me guessing, I think she feels if she says that, you know, it's all due to the fact that she's thin now, it's like definitely a betrayal to- The community the community the community but also like something that I know she really believed in and believes in when she was building her platform yeah but I feel like you had the same thing because you are so positive like I feel differently like and this is where I don't necessarily relate like word for word to her experience is like I didn't find myself really unhappy in my life as a plus-size person I just hated the way that I looked like I came at it really, to be honest, from like
a shallow point of view.
Um, and so, yeah, you don't want to admit when you lose the weight that like, it really
was this thing that like, it was the thing, you know?
Um, and so, but for me, like, I don't know, and you could probably speak to it.
Like, is my personality
or my disposition very different, big or small?
No, but.
Like, my mood and my level of joy.
Actually, I've not really thought about it, but, like, kind of.
Like, you've always been a happy, funny, positive person, but, like, you're down for so much
more.
You said yes to life.
Yes, I'm more open, 1,000%.
Like, you never, you were more, like. curmudgeony like curmudgeony yeah everything's a bad idea I don't want to do this I don't want to do that and of course like there's a bunch of it's so funny because like I look back I'm like I was so happy no but when I when when the thing is at the time though like you were so positive and so happy but now after the weight loss it just opened up another like category of like and now you're so 360 like even though I agree with you at that time you were so happy but we didn't even know how much happier you're just a happy person and you could be even happier I guess it's like I think some people find themselves at a place where they're really unhappy with their weight and it affects other facets of their life whether it's romantic relationships career opportunities um different things and I I maybe I'm wrong but I didn't feel like I got to that place and that's something I'm like proud of like that I was able to work on myself and really like be in a good marriage and like have positive mental health and you always have all of those things but then it's just got even more even more crazy um but not I realized that that I think that that I'm unique in that experience because it's really hard not to let your weight just like take over your entire life so when you come out of it you don't want to say like it was all my weight the whole time but I do think in the future like when when Remy looks back on this I do think she will see that like it was mostly the weight than it was anything else or the heartbreak even a year like she's always been like a mental health advocate, always has been like working with people and working on her mental health.
So what's actually the thing that's changed in the last year is the weight. I think that like people are really critical of her choice to do it on Chloe's podcast, which I think was brilliant.
I agree. And I think probably made her feel really safe.
Like, Chloe's such a nice person, and they have a personal relationship. And Chloe's been through dramatic weight loss with everybody's eyes on you, telling you you're too skinny.
You're doing it wrong. You did it wrong.
Like, you left us in the dust. There is no right way to lose weight as a person who was popular amongst the movement of body positivity and plus size.
There's no right way to do it. People are gonna feel feel betrayed.
They're going to feel left behind. They're going to feel jealous.
People from the skinny and Nikki Glaser just did a great bit on this on, um, Ozempic on Jimmy Fallon, just being like skinny people hate it because like now we're all equal, but like you've had to work more on yourself. You have a great personality too.
And now like we look the same. So there's no right.
People are going to criticize it. Like I got so much backlash when they didn't like now I don't even care like I would do it 15 times over and I would wait double as long to tell everyone like I don't care because I found like myself in a good place and at the end of the day that's what matters um but all of this is really new to Remy she's not like an OG influencer do you know what I mean she's like a TikToker who took off during COVID so I think like I have a lot of sympathy for her because you know you get hardened the longer you do this and she's still relatively new to it and that movement that community like they can be brutal especially when you leave them behind i was a part of it too like you feel betrayed when like one of your favorite fatties leaves you and the community because you loved to see somebody like fat and successful and happy and healthy and rich and and you saw like oh that could happen to me and then when they leave like I get it it's really disappointing but like I feel like people are being really unfair to Remy yeah I haven't seen the backlash it's on TikTok right I'm sure um but this is a person who's healthier and happier than she was before and I think that's something that should be celebrated and if she needed to if she didn't tell you when you wanted to know I mean clearly she had 140 pounds in a year like that's dramatic weight loss like you can use some deductive reasoning that like she's had some sort of aid and also just like trust your faves that she will tell you when she's ready and if you can't trust that then she's not your fave that is what people are saying and I'm so glad you just said that, well, it's misleading to let people think that you lost all of this weight with diet and exercise.
First of all, Remy never said that. She just didn't answer.
She never said that she did. And two, like if you're low-key stupid enough to think somebody could lose 140 pounds in under a year diet and exercise.
When they were struggling so much. Their whole life.
And then one day just switches like a flip. The internet ain't for you.
Like you're dumb. Like where's the personal accountability? And people always like you're misleading your audience.
Who are these dumb people? It's always like generic. What about the young people? Go talk to your parents.
Like it's not Remy's fucking job. She's just trying to live her best like healthiest life and get through it.
You know? She's not a nutritionist. She's not your dietician.
Like if you were really like. At the beginning of the episode.
She's like before I dive in she gave like a whole. Of course.
No but like if you were really looking to remy to like validate your life choices and like eat what remy eats and do what remy does look in the mirror like that's not a healthy way to be to look at agreed it's not good internet behavior like we're just following people passively like we're here for a good time like we're not it's not that serious yeah agreed so congrats congrats to remy very happy for her our next story a little more influencer news a bit of an update because alex earl says that she can't podcast for the foreseeable future so alex earl did a little grwm and she's ready with me for all of our gen xers in the beginning she said i have to put a pause on podcasting right now for the foreseeable future don't really want to get into the details of it all and I kind of can't get into the details of it all right now, but I've loved it so much. And I'm really proud of what I built with the podcast.
Instead of dropping new episodes, she said that she's going to be pivoting to vlogging on YouTube. I'm laughing because this is like what we just said she should do.
And I'm so glad like she listened. I don't know if it was like, I thought it was kind of obvious.
So people being like, Claudia, she heard your episode. I don't think so.
I think like she came to the conclusion on her own because it's like kind of a logical conclusion she said I don't want to leave you just leave you astray and not leave you with anything I also think I would lose my mind so good news is I'm going to be putting out weekly vlogs for this foreseeable future she just dropped a vlog of like her family's spring break at Universal Studios and next she's going to do Ultra Music Festival in Miami the only thing that's confusing about this that maybe you can um explain is she said I kind of can't get into the details of it all right right so she said that like she's not podcasting anymore because she can't and she can't tell us why so it was giving like legal dispute battle unwell intellectual property so of course every the the comments are like what did Alex Cooper do to you? So much so, I guess it must have been overwhelming
because I feel like Alex Cooper does not respond to stuff.
Like there's always things being said about like the show and network.
And she kind of lets everyone speculate.
It's like a good strategy.
But she put up an Instagram story about this,
which I was so shocked because she doesn't respond to anything.
And it was basically like, guys, I'm seeing all your comments
about like Alex not podcasting, just letting you know,
like her inability to podcast has nothing to do with unwell.
Like we're settled. You know, I gave her IP.
I learned from the best at stool presidenta she tagged Dave um just being like please excuse me from this narrative so I don't know a reason why Alex would be unable to podcast and that she can't get into the details of it all if it has nothing to do with unwell I don't think it has anything to do with unwell because we did hear that she got the IP weeks ago and so they're set their goodbye um I guess like I don't know if people why they didn't just know that instead of bothering Alex Cooper about this yeah but but but I think that it was the only logical reason why else I'm asking so I don't blame people for thinking it had to do with unwell i not gonna lie i thought the same you did yeah even though we know it's been squared away for sure um why else would someone be unable to podcast i have to put a maybe she had a non-compete like i don't know i don't know what i thought but alex is like no this is maybe like i'm not able because i don't want to right I don't think she should podcast. I think it's a waste of her time and energy.
I think even though she just did that episode with Bethany and it was like really good. Yeah but that must have been like before all the drama went down like pre-recorded perhaps.
I feel like it was that week of Bethany drama. Yeah I don't know but why would you like put all this effort into like a big podcast if you're gonna cancel the next week.
I don't know. the situation is fluid honestly yeah but it could just be like I can't podcast right now because I'm tired and my mental health is suffering and I can't do it and I wanted to look up how it was performing I watched it I watched a little bit of it the Bethany one no her new vlog like compared to hot mess studios yeah okay so her personal um YouTube channel which is relatively new, has 125,000 subscribers.
Hot Mess, which she was updating weekly, is at 270K. Now, I do believe she owns that channel, but she's posting her vlogs on Alex Earl Personal.
And 14 hours ago, she put up this Earl Family Vacation and has 36,000 views. Okay.
We'll see. We'll see.
I do think that her her content because she said she's going to ultra next week I do think stuff like that would perform better than like spring break with your little siblings which is so cute and I love it but that's not what people know her for it's like a fun fact about her that she has this huge blended family and her siblings are so cute and she goes home to New Jersey and they have like you know cows and stuff um but I think in terms of like what people go to her for it's like to see her get ready party with her friends do like cool makeup cute outfits so I think the ultra because the vlog before this which was two months ago is Vegas Girls Trip and it has like 200,000 views I think they should have a reality show I know you want her to be a vlogger but I just feel like someone should be following her with a camera she shouldn't always be holding working so hard and like editing it. Yeah.
Yeah. There are endless opportunities for Alex Earl.
Yeah. feel like someone should be following her with a camera she shouldn't always be holding working so hard and like editing it yeah yeah it's there there are endless opportunities for alex earl yeah i'm not worried about her i'm not either and i'm waiting on my sim mark's order to arrive right right code alex is that the code i don't know code toast um okay are you ready for our next story i am disney snow Snow White drama fiasco.
Oh my God. I'm so over this movie.
Okay, you were never not over it. I know, I was never gonna see it, but let me tell you, I love that song.
Oh, it's so while you were. By the way, why wouldn't I have seen it? I've seen every other live action.
Snow White is not. It's a movie musical, it's made for me, and because I never got into Snow White growing up, this would have been my time.
Right, it like a Disney fantasy story that like I follow I don't even know like why is she hanging out with dwarves like I don't know the plot yeah so this I like the fact that this is performing so poorly and that I have no interest in seeing it like it's actually crazy it's Mark Platt so he's so I didn't know that I didn't know that either so Ben Platt is a Neppo baby it's like the bane of his existence he's like one of those nepo babies in denial and i just want to say like you're extremely talented and an epobaby you can hold space um and his dad is like this big time producer he actually produced the um dear evan hansen movie and he's been in the news a lot recently he was a producer on wicked and now i didn't realize he's a producer on snow white and i find it really interesting that he keeps doing these movie musicals and not casting his son either Ben Platt like really doesn't want to be connected to his dad and have like obvious nepo ties or like they have beef or something one he doesn't want to be he's so like proud he's a self-hating nepo baby like he doesn't want to do anything that his dad is tied to and two his dad does like kind of commercial cliche sort of my favorite kinds of things and ben platt is so artsy he probably looks down on this sort of like commercial big budget blockbuster he's like no i want to make no money yeah totally i want to make zero dollars and i do feel like ben platt's other siblings and we're going to talk about one of them today who's a part of this story have recently been um like they're not obviously the level of celebrity. He's the most famous person in the family.
Who's the other siblings? His name's Henry. I follow him on TikTok.
He's an amazing voice. Like, really party.
Henry Platt, I never even heard of him. I know, so there's like a bunch of brothers.
And they're all sort of like up and coming now. Jonah has a podcast that I see a lot.
Actually, he's going on The Good Guys soon. They recorded a couple of weeks ago.
He's perfect for The Good Guys. I see his podcast a lot because it's all about being Jewish.
he also had Mark Platt on his podcast his dad yeah because they were talking about like they were just talking about Judaism um so they're obviously close because also yeah so this big bombshell report about the Snow White fiasco came out in the box office there's been rumors about Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot a lot of politics the free Palestine movement is involved so they did like an official variety article on yeah like Gal Gadot has been getting death threats she has like insane security paid for by Disney over the course of like the film not that she's getting death threats that Disney's paying for it oh yeah over the course of like filming and post-production Rachel Zegler has made a lot of comments that have rubbed like literally everyone the wrong way like about Gal about the movie about Disney like about everything about free Palestine like a Trump supporter like everyone oh yeah I remember her Trump one her and Ethel Kane being like I hope terrible things happen to all the people who like right after the election so like that's that's not good when you want people to come see your movie yeah right you're especially like a commercial big Disney project like you're supposed to be you don't want to alienate more than half the country that's just it's a really specific type of project and a specific type of like PR that you have to do for this type of blockbuster because these are movies that get played all over the country it's not like an art film it's not like a New York LA thing so you really need to be like of like you're supposed to be a Disney princess you're like of the people you know yes think of the people who go to Disney and and love Disney it's everyone yeah she also like was making fun of the plot early on saying like the movie's so dated 1937 and she's not gonna be saved by the prince he was like low-key stalking her like seriously painful quotes it's like why would you be in this movie that you hate so much you don't have to take it and I do think that the end of the live action film is like you know know, not. Wokefied? No, it is wokefied.
Like, it's like she saves them all and it's like a communist utopia. To be clear, there is a way to do it.
Like, I think that we make fun of it all the time. But the way Emma Watson did Belle in Beauty and the Beast, she didn't want to be like damsel in distress, Stockholm Syndrome.
She technically falls in love with her captor, for sure. She technically falls in love with an animal.
With an animal. So Emma Watson at the time.
I just want to think if Emma Watson could do that, who was like so radically. Feminist.
Feminist. If she could not only make Stockholm Syndrome with an animal work for her, this girl could make Snow White work for her.
Yeah, like at the time she contributed different things to the project that she wanted to like modernize it a little bit while you know keeping the uh integrity of the story intact and she's very like female focused and so I feel like the way she did it didn't change the quality of the movie and didn't rub people the wrong way like I agree with her like yeah hike up your dress because you're a mechanical woman like when she like used the sheets to climb down the window because she's so industrious like okay great yeah and she was like her dad was like the industrious one but like he was dumb and she was smart no and she like learned from him and like you know women can be a lot of things and she does her own laundry with her horse and there was no drama yeah and there was no drama so it can be done so this is like drama abound she's posted like over like years like a lot of things on social media and said things in interviews that have rubbed everyone the wrong way then most recently I think her and gal were actually fine during filming that's what i read but then after they presented at the oscars rachel zegler said something about gal how like she's always a professional pageant queen like just just like something like nasty like that and so now they're they're not speaking they're not doing press together they didn't even have like the red carpet press there was no premiere and then so this report also said that after one of her many social media posts one of her outbursts mark platt flew from la to new york to talk to her they had to get like a social media consultant to work with her and vet all of like everything that she was going to post in the run-up to this movie so that you know she wouldn't send away more fans right so she had to have a talking to. So someone commented on something about,
of Jonah Platt saying,
your dad flew to New York to reprimand a young actress.
Any words on this?
Cause that's creepy as hell and uncalled for.
And I just want to say-
People have the right to free speech.
No, shame on your father.
Ugh, like go comment that on Mark Platt shit.
Like that shit bothers me.
Like leave Jonah alone, first of all.
And I'm sure Jonah was ready.
Oh, Jonah was ready.
I'm glad she commented on Jonah.
Well, me too.
Jonah responded.
We got an insight.
We got window.
Like,
you know, leave Jonah alone first of all and Jonah was ready oh Jonah was ready I'm glad she commented on Jonah's me too Jonah responded we got an insight we got window like Mark Platt like they don't fuck around Jonah said you really want to do this yeah my dad the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for. This is called adult responsibility and accountability and her
actions clearly hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean you're allowed to say
whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of
people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires
at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers
who depend on that movie to be successful.
Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.
Not the blue-collar workers.
Not the cast and crew.
And you know that was read, edited, and approved by Mark himself.
I actually don't think so,
because there was kind of some grammar things that weren't perfect.
I think messaging-wise.
I don't think Jonah would share feelings about this
when it seems like him and his dad are really close.
It seems like the whole family's really close.
And I think that's a't perfect. I think messaging wise, like I don't think Jonah would like share things like feelings about this when it seems like him and his dad are really close.
It seems like the whole family's really close. And I know Ben is hating this story.
Oh, hating. Because Ben really toes the line.
And I feel like when we were talking about October 7th, he was someone we were really disappointed in who's like somebody who's- I think I've told you guys like, I don't like Glenn Ply. Yeah, he's like openly Jewish.
He loves to like use Jewish shtick on his like Instagram and it's like a part of his personality and then when like you know Jewish lives and futures are at stake like he's nowhere to be found he's putting out tail between his legs statements being like holding space for two he literally said it in a serious way um and because I think he really toes the line of like sure I'm Jewish whatever but I want to be accepted in these, you know, artsy, fartsy circles. And it's a little, you know, it's, I looked down on it.
I'm not going to lie. I do.
But his family. Meanwhile, Jonah comes in.
His family's clearly not like that. Like with the podcast.
Yeah. They're clearly not like that at all.
They're clearly like very proud Jews. And you just know this story is making him sick yeah for sure not only it's like no the other brothers are like getting attention too now is jonah platt straight he is he has a wife oh i was gonna say satchel yeah no i think he's married i'm like almost 100 sure henry what about henry i think he's gay okay is there any others let's see jonah platt siblings first of all.
Ben Henry, yeah. And Jonah Platt wife.
Yeah, he's married. Cute.
To a girl named Courtney. She's so cute.
Look at her. So cute.
Yeah. Valiano.
Is that Italian? Yeah. Cute.
Okay, yes. They've been married since 2016.
Thanks, Gemini. They got married at the Saddle Rock Ranch in Malibu.
Oh, Pargy. She was a dancer on a series regular, Hit the Floor on VH1.
And So You Think You Can Dance. Go, girl.
Yeah. So the Snow White stuff is really a disaster.
And I actually feel like Jonah Platt saying something now doesn't even matter because the movie has bombed. It's over.
It's over. There's nothing he can say that's going to make it get better or worse.
And then there's the whole dwarf oh yeah well that's the whole movie in general like really from top like from this inception like has just made people upset um but also it has like the lowest rating of any movie on imdb it's made like no money the crazy thing is is that like i know nobody has seen it but the people who have seen it said it's really good no i've seen the people who have seen it say it's really bad there's i've been seeing like clips of like some of the cgi of like calcadillo like drinking some potion and then like running down the stairs and it seriously looks like from the 80s like the criticism i heard is that like you know of course they have an original song as they always contribute and sometimes the original songs really do blend and you forget that it wasn't one of the original more the one that they made is really not good waiting on a wish like Waiting on a wish. Like it's really bad.
How do you know all the music? I'm on TikTok. Like I know everything.
Honestly like it's actually, this is a boycott that's hard for me. I want to see this movie.
I know. This is my favorite kind of movie.
I know. Like Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies.
And to be clear, like every time they do a Disney remake, they always modernize it a little bit and people always push back and there's like stupid drama about it but it never really affects the overall like years later we're like oh that was amazing and like it always just works itself out like I feel like what was the last one um Little Ariel what's it called? Little Mermaid. Thank you like there was Johnny she's black she can't be she's a mermaid like so stupid you know the movie was amazing and everybody loved everybody loved it like you like there's always like a kerfuffle but it's just like and i feel like that could have been what happened with the dwarves like but this is this is different yeah this is different because people are boycotting the actress and then of course people you know free palestines are also boycotting gal gadot they won't see her they won't play her in countries because she's spider-man like nobody knows who to boycott yeah and i'm just not seeing it because like i just like need to ask, need to ask Gal, like, do you want me to see it? I want someone, like, to make me.
Maybe you should also see it. No, I just, Gal doesn't want you to see it.
Because the thing is, if this movie fails, which it does, it really doesn't have anything to do with Gal. It has to do with, like, the radical 20-year-old Rachel.
So, yeah, I feel like it flopping is no stain on her record, Gal. Then what's next for Rachel Zegler? So she's really unique because she they they call her like rachel berry like she is fucking insufferable even before this there was like a i saw like a super cut of like all the annoying like things she's ever said she's like in her bathroom being like and i hope when my time comes there are lines of people waiting for me like she's so horrible um but she's undeniably like talented it's she really is I think one of the most talented singers um out in the Broadway theatrical space right now so like there are she just got she has an upcoming role it's like a big one what is it um upcoming yeah like they cast some musical and it's she's already in it what is she doing next uh let me go to her imdb rachel zegler next movie come on gemini no there's i'm not seeing anything it's hard to find anything oh all credits not what movie is rachel zegler starring in next Oh yeah, Gemini.
Oh yeah.
It's not a movie she's doing Evita Ava Perone in the west end you know the Madonna song come on whatever it's like a huge Broadway role okay cool that's good for her yeah she's perfect for Broadway Yeah. Yeah.
And honestly, like I feel like she was also in West Side Story, which I don't think. Well, then Ansel Elgort ruined that movie.
She's kind of like a curse. She is.
And she was also in Hunger Games prequel, which I just, I only learned recently. And I think it did well.
It came and went. But I didn't see it.
The thing I saw about that movie was the Olivia Rodrigo song that she wrote for it. Like that was the biggest part.
was the biggest part yeah no she's not like a hit maker yeah how many flops do you get before they're like okay you're out i do think theater and music like you're more often to flop than not do you know what i mean like it's it's a niche category these big movies but these big ones big movies still they take on so much money what side story was like steven spielberg right yeah you know i wouldn't say it flopped. It was nominated for like Oscars and stuff.
Commercially? Commercially, it wasn't huge. I agree.

Kim Kardashian will testify in the trial for her $10 million Paris robbery. So Kim will testify against the Parisian underground gang accused of coordinating her infamous 2016 robbery, TMZ reported on Wednesday.
She is set to travel to France in May to take the stand nearly 10 years after being bound and robbed at gunpoint. No, it's not 10 years.
In her hotel room in Paris. What was that security guard's name? Pascal.
I was actually just thinking about him, maybe because I saw this news. He was like a famous bodyguard.
He was like a famous, and he did a lot of people, mostly Kim, but like you would just see him like pop up. I mean, he was no Shango.
He was no Shango, and that's what happens when you leave Shango behind. When you parties with Shango.
I can't believe like, we think the American judicial system is slow. Like this is really crazy that the trial starts 10 years later.
I know she like has to, but the fact that she has to go and testify when I'm sure this is like the worst. She does not want to go back physically, mentally to this place.
But justice must be served. Horrible.
They were 12 of the 17 suspects were ordered to trial in 2021. And then the trial was set four years later because it did take some time to like identify who the people were right it was like a big gang of yeah not just one person right that was like such a crazy that's one of the biggest I would say like pop culture moments of the last that was so crazy that's like one of those things where like you remember where you were when you found out yeah and every time she talks about it like she she and she doesn't talk about it a lot um except she did talk about it this season when she was talking about her like diamonds oh and she was also just talking about the way that she responds to things like her calmness that like they always said was her superpower which has turned into like a numbness to anything going on in her life because she just started therapy and the therapist was like obviously one time in your life like you experienced something and you reacted calmly and that really worked out for you.
Like, what do you think that that was? And so she was telling Chloe and she's like, so I'm trying to like think like from like, what was it? And Chloe's like, you're a robbery. Right, right.
You were calm and that worked well. And ever since then, you've been calm.
Right, you made it out alive. And she was like, oh, oh yeah.
And like, they were like literally like trying to figure it out. She also referenced it.
What was it? Were they a Bonnie wedding? Just talking about how she used to like, after Paris, she was like, I'm giving up all my material items. I don't want to wear jewelry anymore.
They cut to that thing of her on Ellen being like, that stuff doesn't matter to me anymore. And then they cut to her in India, like, wearing $7 million worth of diamonds.
But those were rented. No, they were rented, but also it's been 10 years.
So yeah, 10 years ago, she didn't want to do that. People change.
Like, you heal, hopefully, and maybe you can go back to enjoying some of the things that you used to. And'm sure she does it all differently now yeah than she did in the past oh my god testifying I like in any case like testifying sounds horrible like when you're the victim yeah and when it really seems like she's healed because it was like so for a while right after she like didn't she wasn't seen anywhere didn't do anything but then she even said like you're for years like she didn't want to leave the house she didn't want to have, like she had anxiety about going out about people knowing where she was.
Like it really plagued her. And I really feel like now it feels like such, so in the past, like I don't know how much it affects her day-to-day life.
I feel like less than ever. And so to now go back and relive it, like I do feel really bad for her.
Yeah, I agree. So hopefully justice will be served.
I also feel like it changed the way everyone every public figure interacts on social media and um just like with their fans and how much information they put out about themselves and their family like I feel like we were just having this conversation offline like when you can see like you'll you really don't know with like real celebrities who actually like are threats get made like you never know where they are at the time we always are now finding out after and I feel like when this thing happened to Kim like everybody tightened that up even more with like how they're posting they never post in real time it was they leave the country before now you know what I mean um and I feel like a lot of it had to do with Kim yeah because like not in any way to victim blame but like they used her social media because she was sharing like what she was wearing, what the diamonds were, where they were from, and where she was going. And she was like, I'm home now, you know, like posting in real time, kind of giving a map to bad faith actors.
Yeah. And so people really like don't do that.
Agreed. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Little travel news.
I'm so ready.
I requested this story.
United Airlines flight to China was forced to turn around after the pilot realized he forgot his passport.
So a United Airlines flight from LA to China had to turn around two hours into its journey after the pilot forgot his passport.
And thank God it was only two hours.
Right.
Because I just want to say, like, we can joke, and Jackie made a hilarious joke.
I was like, Ben's the pilot. Ben's the pilot.
Ben as a Ben has a pilot and it's interesting that like this doesn't happen more right having said that I think the fact that they turned around is really crazy like it's literally not the past like everybody here has plans paid money and so yeah if the pilot because he's dumb has to land and then turn around like that's really not everybody's problem yeah and then if it was a flight attendant like if a passenger forgot their passport would they turn around but you can't even get on the plane without your passport as a passenger when you're flying international right right right so I feel like that should go the same for pilots and crew members and I feel feel like it does. Maybe just they forgot to check him
and it was the same day he forgot his passport
because otherwise this would happen more often.
Yeah.
I just feel, it feels unfair, honestly.
If I'm a passenger, I'm so fucking annoyed.
You spent four hours on a plane to go nowhere?
He say he lands in China
and he just can't get off the plane.
Well, you can be in the airport without a passport.
They hold you at customs, you got a snack, you know.
But they would send him home
and that's called the consequences of your actions.
But no, now all 300 passengers have to suffer
I don you know. But they would send him home.
And that's called the consequences of your actions.
But no, now all 300 passengers have to suffer financially, emotionally.
Well, they got back and a new crew took over to take them to their destination.
So they didn't have to wait for him to go home and go get it.
Okay, but still, it's an extra four hours on an already long flight. I'm not saying it's nothing.
I'm not saying it's nothing.
Let me tell you, if that's me, I'm so fucking annoyed.
Yeah, they were provided with meal vouchers and compensation. What, $11? Oh, did you see? January Jones.
I meant to send this story. She's making news using her social media complaining about, I believe it was United Airlines.
Because her pilot turned around because he forgot his passport. No, she had like some drama, like, you know, a delay.
And they offered meal vouchers to everyone. And she took to her social media to be like really united airlines uh meal voucher for january jones calls out airline for their response after a 16 hour flight delay better she says do better so on sunday she shared a screenshot on her instagram stories of a flight delay details that showed a 16 hour and 25 minute delay for her trip and then alongside the image she told united airlines to do better a couple $15 food vouchers ain't gonna cut it she added our 7 30 p.m flight last night still hasn't left now she showed a follow-up image of her resting on the floor at the airport now if this is my friend from college I'm with her I'm like yeah fuck United Airlines yeah but once again another celebrity falling into the trope of using their social media to complain to customer service customer service about usually an airline.
It's never reading well for me. Well, I just, okay, being somewhere for 16 hours, like that's horrible.
And I understand like you want to complain about it and you want to like tell everyone like what's going on with you. And I feel like she can still post this.
But the tagging of United and being upset about $15 food vouchers, like that's where you lose me. Like she could be like, oh my God, 16 hour travel release, worst day ever 16 hour travel place worst day ever get me home i'm so mad yeah for sure for sure no it's the complaining about the and she by the way if she's just a regular passenger like oh at united i would be okay with that yeah but like the you're upset about 15 food vouchers like imagine how the people who aren't on tv feel right like right like that imagine how the poor passengers feel this is like she's so close to being safe that like I'm not gonna go so crazy like we didn't make a story right but like stop it stop it right now it's also one of my least favorite things like they're whenever a celebrity complains like it's they're never wrong like if I'm a regular passenger like that's annoying and it's wrong and the company should do better.
But like, you're on like the longest running, most successful TV show of all time. Like, take a private plane.
No, or like you could go have a meal at a restaurant. Right.
I just, I don't feel bad for you. Yeah, and then this is, you call them when you land and they give you like a thousand million miles.
Correct. Don't forget to call.
That's how it works. Don't forget to call when you land.
That's how it works. Those were good stories.
Thanks, Jax. Oh, you're welcome.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
