The Breadth of Stories: Thursday, January 30th, 2025

Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Thursday.
I hope everybody's having a day that's gargy, of course, a day that's pargy, of course. And for me, it's a day that's largy, because I'm just getting bigger every day.
That's a beautiful thing. What a wonderful update that you've shared with us.
I'm so happy for you. Yes, of course, of course.
That's the appropriate reaction. The bigger, the better.
Yeah, that's great. Well, if that's the case, like I'm so good.
And at least like you're getting bigger and we have bigger chairs, you know, because some of us did two pregnancies in the buccal chairs. That's actually an amazing point.
This new renovation couldn't have come at a better time for my big fat ass. And I actually, you know, when I edit the show, like I do compare like the square footage that I take up on the chair versus you.
It's hard to, you know, constantly be comparing yourself to others. I really need to stop.
Also, like I know you're going to kill me. And I just, I'm putting it out there.
I can know you're going to kill me. That cord to your left is just like bothering me.
Can you just like flick it, the black one. I feel like it's, no, no, no.
Like on the armrest, excuse me. Like behind you.
Can you just like flick it the black one I feel like it's no no no like on the armrest excuse me like behind you can you just like flick it off the actual chair thank you so much I think it's really gonna help with the beautification it's been flicked I think it's gonna help with the beautification thank you so much this has just been a really like a week of trials and tribulations like every day we are trying new things new lighting new camera we are getting really close I don't want it, but I was, you know, in the studio with the department of IT this morning, just doing a lot of agriculture of, of, of testing and troubleshooting, if you will. I think we're getting really close to being in a really good place, but I don't want to say that because then, you know, my memory card will like die or something.
Right. Don't jinx it.
Yes. Parginess is increasing every day in every way.
I mean, and just kind of a reflection i think of who we are as individuals like always trying to increase our parginess every day we wake up we said how are we going to be parchy today it's true it's really true just like my own parginess right quick it's thursday which means it's like a very chill day here at the toast we're between dear toasters tv recaps queen is and ween is it's kind of a day where we can finally relax and be ourselves you know yes so true we actually have pretty good stories today so i'm looking forward to getting into those but actually we can't even go on with the show until we talk about what happened last night um on the potomac in d, like a passenger aircraft and a military military helicopter

crashed midair.

And as of this morning, it's, um, a recovery mission, not a rescue mission.

They don't believe there are any survivors.

They were able to recover a bunch of people like throughout the night, but now it's officially.

Yeah.

So it's a rescue mission and it's just, it's so no recovery. Oh, sorry, recovery.
Yeah, okay, I think. Yeah, I get, I don't know.
I think recovery. It's very, very sad and confusing, because it seemed to be like a day-riguer sort of, like, flight path, and that airspace is shared by the military and commercial airlines all the so I don't know what happened but like it's very unfortunate no Brian had like a bunch

of stories up um like kind of breaking it down and explaining actually in 2013 there was a near

miss like in this exact area so like this is obviously like a highly trafficked area is and

that's why we have you know all the agencies that we have too. So, um, I feel like, and everyone's like now saying like, you know, cause if you're afraid of flying, this is obviously going to like send you into a tailspin, but it really is like the first commercial crash in.
Since 2009. Yeah.
It's like really not a common thing. Um, so it's just such a weird feeling like a plane crash.
What is this? An episode of I just I hope that they figure out what happened because these seems there are so many systems in place to make sure these should be avoided yeah so um that's so sad I saw a lot of like the passengers there were a lot of like figure skaters on their way to a competition so it's like championship figure skaters I think like U.S. national championship like and a coaching couple and I'm sure we'll learn more about the victims in the next few days but just so sad so sad so sad oh my god I didn't hear that figure skating thing that's really sad yeah well sending love to everybody who is yeah but that was just like shocking affected to fall asleep to and then wake up to the news it It's just I missed it I went to bed early and then like I guess I'm at this part of my pregnancy where I just like wake up in the middle of the night for like fun yeah you just like you just like chill and like think about stuff that you don't want to do yeah um and so that was me from about 137 to 312 um and I was having her and his heartburn so I got up to get a tub to find that they were empty.
It's cream cheese gate. Yeah, that was really like cream cheese.
I almost woke him up and told him to go run to a pharmacy. Like I was so mad, especially because, but I couldn't be mad because like I definitely finished the tums, but Ben retrieved it for me.
Do you know what I mean? Like I'm always in bed being like, can you get me a Tum can you get me a Tum can you get me a Tum so while yes I consumed it I wasn't aware that we had reached rock bottom because if we were I would have gotten a new one yeah and you're saying in your whole apartment Heartburn Man doesn't have another pack of Tums I am sure that in the laundry basket in the laundry basket is a pair of jeans that Ben wore last week with a rolled up like you know the ones that look like pennies yeah um and I'm sure there's like a dusty tum in there and you know what if I knew exactly where it was I would have taken it and eaten it that's how bad it was you should have just woken him up to ask if there are any more tums in the house because I feel like there were probably more tums in the house there weren't more tums in the house like I run inventory on this bitch no more tums in the house no more tums in the house like I run inventory on my house I know every crevice every corner every cabinet every tum there there was not another time we had this huge jug what more do you need you know no I feel like Ben's the type where he knows he has a huge jug at home but like he'll run out and pick up a spare you know I was almost getting something if he has a briefcase If he has a briefcase, there's definitely, or backpack, there's definitely Tums in there turdy. Ben's actually not like a crazy Tum person anymore.
Like when we first met, he was like just popping Tums like how people pop gum. Like I think he thought it was a mint.
Like he's moved on. He pops like other things like a Zyrtec, like an Afrin spray.
He loves that. But I almost gave him the keys to the studio because I just got this extra large like costco size tum and i was like go get it like seriously but he had a really early flight this morning and i thought that would be like really bitchy of me but i almost did it well you're so big that you didn't big you're so magnanimous that you didn't i know and i just like laid there and suffered really hope this part of pregnancy, like it's not a, I hope it's not here to stay.
Like waking up in the middle of the night, being alone with your thoughts and you know that you shouldn't be on your phone because that'll just make you stay awake longer. Like that is my own personal hell.
Yep. And that's when it's time for your Kindle.
Yes. My Kindle was actually right next to me on the nightstand in the middle of a book I started last night.
But I just like, I don't know, I wasn't feeling compelled to start reading in the middle of the night. Like, what am I, a librarian? I know, but that's a way to take your mind off your thoughts.
You're not getting blue light. You're getting Kindle light.
You don't have to turn on the light to read a book and wake your partner, even though I know you would love to. Love.
And if your book is shitty, it'll put you to sleep. Parjee.
I know sleep is so important to me my sleep means a lot to me and i've gotten to a place like i know pregnancy like really sacrifices your sleep like it fucks with your sleep and i'm like every time i reach a hurdle like i'm working around it do you know what i mean like i will not be deterred from getting my sleep yeah and if you say right now like just wait till you have a baby, I'll seriously choke you out.

Like, we know, we know having a baby is hard.

I seriously can't with some of these bitches.

I wasn't going to say that.

I was going to go to thesaurus.com and find another way to say it.

Yeah, no, I just, like, I actually can't deal with, like, bitches these days.

Do you know what I mean?

Pause, Claudia.

Pause.

What's another way to say just wait?

Oh, pause.

Yeah. Hold tight.
We're saying another language no i speak yes lah jackie that's not even correct hebrew must speak means enough must speak ad yes lah yell it yeah i just want to say on the record like i can't with these bitches like i'm I'm allowed to complain. I'm allowed to complain.
And everybody's like, oh, well, you know, shut up. Like I seriously can't fucking take it anymore.
Like it's like you think this is bad. How about you just shut up? Like have you tried that? It's not exactly what I was going to say.
What I was going to say is once again, I'm a broken record on this, which is trust the architect because this is all by design to prepare you for all of that imagine you go from sleeping 12 hours a night rock solid to then having a newborn getting up every three hours this is your body's way of preparing okay I also don't want to hear that the process and I don't want to say is take all the sleep where you can get it if you're not napping every day are you napping everypping every day? I feel like you're not. You're answering types at 4 o'clock.
Oh, yeah, no. I haven't napped in months.
Go back to napping. No, I don't like napping.
Like, there were parts of my pregnancy where I napped every day. Like, pargy-licious.
When I was at your house, I was napping every day. But for the last couple of weeks, like, I haven't felt inclined to nap.
And I just go to bed at, like, a reasonable hour, like 930. I don't know.
something about napping in the middle of the day. But for the last couple of weeks, like I haven't felt inclined to nap and I just go to bed at like a reasonable hour, like nine thirty.
I don't know something about napping in the middle of the day. The day is so long.
It's like two days in one. I'm good.
Like the day is long enough. OK, that's all I'm like running a successful business.
I can't just be like tapping out for hours. You know, what would you do? Who would you talk to? It's actually typically the hour where I'm kind of unavailable so like we could sink right no you're unavailable so like i'm holding down the fort and i'm just gonna be sleeping on the job i don't think so the it could wait an hour for turdies i'm also not tired like that's the other thing okay so i'm gonna just stop like trying to give you like uh cheery advice and yes yes and yes solves um no like your resolution like the architect like how about i just can complain and why don't you just like hear me you know okay i thought sorry i thought we were looking for solutions i'm so sorry oh my god why would you ever think that everybody knows there's a problem we want to solve it i'm so okay that's so ben's offer i am never for a solution when I'm complaining.
I'm just looking for misery and company. Do you know what I mean? That's the worst.
I agree. How unfair.
Oh, forgot to put my wedding ring on today. Rumor is swirling.
Maybe it was the Tums. Maybe it was the lack of Tum.
How wrong there's thank you there's not another tum in the house that's what i'm saying could never be yeah even with the tums you were like doubting me are you sure there wasn't one in like another cabinet like why don't you just let me live my truth why don't you let me live my truth okay i'm gonna try again it's been a few months since i attempted to like not i need you to get down in the gutter with me okay join me okay so that's different than like not being like contrarian to you no not contrarian like you're always just like because remember that episode where I tried not to disagree I tried to be agreeable do you remember that no obviously you didn't like do a good job I don't even remember you have like a like a clip of it. It's like really funny.
No, it's not ringing a bell. Let the good times roll.
So today I am not going to problem solve. Thank you.
Like seriously. I can't help it.
I'm such a helper. Yeah.
That's what everybody says about you. This is Jackie.
Such a helper. Jackie, she's such a helper.
Always offering a helping hand. That's what she says.
They're not like saying the opposite. No, they're just kind of like not talking about you.
If I'm being honest, like they. Good.
Yeah. It's so good.
I like it. Oh, when you said there were good stories today, I'm assuming there's like that planted story about Taylor Swift, like distancing herself from Blake Lively.
To be honest, there is not. However, there is a story that is swappable and I could swap it in if you want.
No no no I mean let me just say really quick. To me it just felt like fake news.
Yeah I'm glad you didn't even give it the credit like the credibility of making it a fast five story because when I saw that people are so annoying like and again it really harks back to a lack of media literacy in this country like when Taylor Swift wants you to know something like we know she puts it at certain news outlets. Taylor Swift has never fucked with daily mail and i'm sorry if you even know like the smallest thing about taylor you would know that's like so not how she operates like she literally writes songs about people who leave her when she gets like bad press reputation that's like what the whole thing is about um so to assume that like her best friend who's like kids are her godchildren she would stop being friends with because she's being sued like is seriously is seriously, like how low do you think of Taylor? Yeah.

So not Taylor.

So I kind of wanted to get out of the pattern of like making it a story

every single day that it ends in drama.

And this felt like not even a full story,

just someone's idea of what happened.

And maybe it is true.

Maybe she is distancing herself.

But I'm just going to need a little more proof.

I will be curious to see if Blake goes to the Superbowl.

She was at almost every game last year and she hasn't been at a lot of games, but I know also has a lot going on but like the Super Bowl who would pass up the Super Bowl she's not going why she's just not like she hasn't even publicly responded to the Justin Baldoni claims um we haven't seen her we haven't heard from her like I don't think she's just gonna pop up at the Super Bowl I don't well if Taylor brings a lot of friends and Blake doesn't go that would be curious to me I also don't think but I think it would be on Blake like Blake's choice not Taylor's okay well if she wants to like show that Taylor she wants to like you know dragons rise up use one of her dragons she would go to the Super Bowl so that she's gonna show up and she's gonna say Dracarys Drac. She literally would.
So that will be interesting to see. There are like other things that I'm looking for to see what's going on.
A source in the Daily Mail could be true, sure. Could also very well not be.
So I'm not holding too much weight for that. Is all I'll say.
And I don't want to talk about it every single day because it's really getting confusing. We a long road ahead of us yeah and there's so many different like we could on the one hand talk about it for so long all the different theories and on the other hand we could have done that and said absolutely nothing do you know what I mean yeah um totally separately I'm on Boz and Dorit talk why do I keep calling her Boz Boz Boz and Dorit talk because there's like people are literally like making edits of them as like best friends.
And Dorit posted like literally like a thirst trap of Boz on her Instagram story today. Like they're literally obsessed with each other.
And somebody said that they're the Ariana and Cynthia of Bravo. And honestly, I felt that.
I saw that. And that tracks.
That feels right. 1000%.
I'm just taking a tongue break TUM break. Excuse me.
Wow. So, yes.
How many TUMs do you think is too many TUMs in a day? It says it on the back. Oh.
Just go by that. That applies to the pregnant community? Yeah, don't overdose.
If anything, you should take less than the regular. Like, just because.
So, I think it's like every few hours, right? Chew two to four tablets as symptoms occur. All right.
We're sorry. Five minutes.
Symptoms occurring. Dr.
Fox, is there a great source of calcium? Yeah, they are. Yeah.
Okay. Well, because it is Thursday, we're like sort of such a relaxed mood.
We could get into the Fast Five stories if you're ready. ready anything else you wanted to talk about any major life updates in the last 24 hours from you major life updates not particularly no okay it's just just been kind of standard standard procedure okay I just wanted to ask that's so sweet of you yeah sometimes I like to talk to others to ask people how feels wrong.
It's so funny because when I think about like qualities I really dislike in a person, like one of my things is like if you're talking to somebody in the entire time, like they don't ask you one single question. Like it's like them.
And like I also, I feel like a lot of my like characteristics that I hate are like projection of like my own self-hatred. Yeah.
Because I do like some of my like classic things that I hate, I think that I do them. But I also think it has to do with what you seek out in a person might not necessarily be like, you're not looking for yourself.
It's like a magnet. You need the opposites.
Opposites attract. And you have to have like different properties in order to be attractive to me.
I think it's more so like I just hate myself, you know? There's definitely some of that, but I actually don't think that you do whatsoever. I think it's more so like it's the competitive, like there can't be two of you.
There just can't. There can only be one turdy loo.
Is that what you're saying? Yeah, like two of you, it's like a magnet that just opposes one another. You need your match.
Okay.

Look at you again, being like so positive, solution-oriented.

You hate yourself.

You're the worst.

You need to work on self-love, Claudia.

No, sorry.

You don't even need to fix it because how much you hate yourself is just right.

Thank you.

That's what I've been saying.

Keep on hating.

Thank you.

I will.

Yourselves. Now, I think.
I think without further ado-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Yourselves.
Now, I think. I think without further ado-da-do-da-do.
Here are the Fast Five stories that you-da-do need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Skims.
So if you have different pain points with bras and underwear, like for different stages of your life, whether like you've gained weight, you've lost weight, you're postpartum, I feel like for for every different like year in my life, I require different things from my bras and underwear. And Skims is always a go to destination for me because they always have what I need, especially at this phase of my life where like underwear is just so hard to come by with like a waistband that doesn't make me sick.
Something that feels really thin so I don't get like overheated. Skims bras and underwears are really the best intimates I've ever owned.
My top drawer is slowly becoming all Skims. I'm really particular about my intimates since my body has obviously changed during pregnancy.
So have my needs. My boobs are obviously a lot bigger.
Um, and I love so many of the bras from Skims, especially for like lounge wear. Like I sleep in a bra.
I can't go without a bra. So I'm really looking for ones that are comfortable.
I love the Fitzeverybody racerback or in the scoop neck bralette from the Fitzeverybody collection. Skims is just fabulous.
Um, everything whether it's loungewear pajamas underwear bras like it's one of those companies now that like if i need something and skims makes it i'm gonna get it from skims i just like trust them a lot their products are really well made and they're made for real women they're super size inclusive they have a ton of different bra sizes i think half the key to getting a bra that works is finding the right size. And so many companies literally carry four sizes.

Skims has, I think, almost 60 sizes.

So it's super size inclusive.

And it's just really fabulous.

Because it's a Thursday. It's always a good day for that song.

But there's not a lot going on, you know, and like we're just sort of free today to do what we want.

So I was going to, you know, just pop it.

But I think you'll actually be shocked by the breath of these stories.

Not the breath.

The breath.

There's a D in there, right?

The breath.

The breath.

The breath.

The breath.

The breath.

The breath.

The breath.

The breath.

We need to start pronouncing words as they are spelled.

I'm sick of it.

I mean, I've been out here doing the work, Majdijan.

If anybody wants to join me.

Thank you. Adipha, we need to start pronouncing words as they are spelled.
I mean, I've been out here doing the work, Majdijan, if anybody wants to join me. My kidney is killing me.
I think all this new weight I'm carrying around has been really tough on my kidneys. You mean the wehkirta? Oh, right.
The wehkirta. Like, that's how I see it.
You know what I mean? That's how turd sees it. Okay, how would you pronounce ha-ha-ha no what am I doing when I oh like having I would do a lauga that's how I like visualize because I think because I'm like a very musical person like I really see songs like lauga I mean words, because for me, I'm such a reader.
I learn how to pronounce things by reading them. Right.
So how am I to know? Unclear. The way the people are saying it.
You mean, how are you to canal? It's unclear. Honestly, this is my favorite game of all time.
I do it so you and ben you and ben would go on a road trip and then every word that you see on a sign you would say pronounce it the way how do you pronounce that let me look for a word in front of me like my bronzer i'm reading pajay six pajay six wow yeah i love that. That's where I get my news.
Okay. This is, it says, Hula, believe this bronze.
Like, believe this bronze to me should sound like this. Beliave.
Beliave. Tis.
Bronzay. Like, I just, maybe it's, maybe it's a sign of high intelligence.
Like, I just see things differently. Do you know what I mean? I agree.
I so agree. Un I agree I so agree unclear it's unclear but the breadth of stories today like there's actually a lot to talk about okay okay okay our first story is an L for me for sure and it's kind of like the letter I'm taking an L oh well it's kind of a W for you someone that I think I've been wrong about that I champion that you have said is the country singer sam hunt has been arrested for speeding and violating an interlock device five years after his dui i don't even want to be right about this like who cares about this actual irrelevant person um like i cares and no i don't even think like i music i've actually made peace with sam hunt like i don't even hate him so much so at this point it's just like dude get your fucking life together what are you doing a driver yeah right get a friend a driver country singer Sam Hunt was arrested after speeding on a Tennessee highway and violating the terms of his past DUI according to TMZ the musician was pulled over on January 20th in Hendersonville about 22 miles north of of Nashville on charges of speeding and violating an interlock device best known as a car breathalyzer.
He was taken to jail but released the same day on $1,500 bond. Well, so his crime here was speeding, which is obviously not a crime.
But if you have like a specific parole agreement, I guess like you can't be speeding. So it's not like he's out here, you know, drinking and driving again, to be clear.
It's a little bit misleading. So I'll, I'll make space for not me being like so lenient with Sam Hunt today.
I think it's because I made you listen to that song. His new music has been really good.
It's like, I don't know how he finds the time to make new music while he's also just like constantly getting arrested. It's true.
And he should get a driver so he could sit in the back and like make new music. But do you feel like some men would find it emasculating to be driven around? One thousand percent.
That's, yes, I do. And maybe that's why like more male celebrities don't just like get a driver because.
Especially like in the South where like your truck is sort of like your manhood. Like, yeah, I could see Sam Hunt being like, that's gay to have a driver, you know know I saw such a funny video recently that was and it's hard to apply to myself because exactly like driving in my family is just such a thing in my like little family in your in your you just you no but like with Zach because the video was like if you're a man like why is your wife ever driving you guys like what are you doing just like sitting in the passenger seat like one thousand percent like you should always be what are you a girl like you should always be driving when you're the man however I just want to say in my situation usually I always want Zach to drive but sometimes I want to drive to get the practice in if he's gonna be with me so like he's actually being a driving instructor he's not just passively sitting there I have not driven my own car like with ben in the car i mean i've driven my own car seriously twice in the last five years and it was only like when ben wasn't available to drive me somewhere if if i you know i should like actually do a prank like we just go to the garage to pick up the car and i get in the driver's seat you should he would be like and one of the things that i'm actually ben and i are having an with, is he does this thing where at a red light he pulls out his phone.
Which, like, it's not a crime. But it's so annoying.
Because I'm sitting there being like, go. I let the light stand, like, for four minutes.
I'm like, the light's been great for four minutes. Fucking go.
It's such a point of contention with us. And I'm like, why can you just not be on your phone? Claudia, it's such a point of contention for me, too.
My husband always, like the phone. When you're in the driver's seat, like you don't look at your phone.
And the issue is, is that even when I'm in the passenger seat, I don't look at my phone because of motion sickness. And it's a shame that he has to drive because when he's in the passenger seat, he could just be on his phone the whole time being happy.
I would drive, not look at my phone and I would be happy. But again, like why would he be in the passenger seat just passively passengering? Ben hates your Tesla.
And the only positive thing he'll say about it is that it gives you like that little ding when the light turns, as soon as the light turns green. So if you are being like a bad driver on your phone, it does sort of give you like a kick in the ass, which I agree that is a great feature.
It's a great feature. As soon as you don't have to be paying attention because I'm not even on my phone.
sometimes just zone out at a long right like putting on music dings when it's green you don't get beeped it's parched so maybe sam hunt should look into maybe getting a different kind of car also i imagine if you have like really strict parole where you can't go over a certain speed limit like there's a setting you could put your car on to just like literally not go fast i would be afraid of going to jail again the thing is and what's clear here is that sam hunt doesn't give a fuck. Doesn't care.
Yeah, yeah. That should be the name of his next album.
I'm Sam Hunt and I don't give a rip. Yeah.
Memoir. Sam Hunt doesn't give a fuck.
Memoirs of a Huntress. Memoirs of a Sammy.
And also not to bring her into this but like where is his wife? I feel like I never hear about her. They were like rumored to be getting divorced, but they didn't, did they? Then they got back together and I think they split up again.
Oh, okay. So there's no woman in his life and that's why he's sort of on this downward spiral.
He's on tethered and he's speeding to where is he even going? Right. Nowhere.
He's got a one-way ticket to Loserville. I think they are still married.
Population, Sam. I know but like Sam turn it around but don't speed when you turn it around just like and turn around and like driving the right side of the street.
Let me ask you a question. Be totally honest.
We're rooting for you Sam. Speak for yourself but be totally honest.
Do you think it's like too late for Sam Hunt in terms of like so many things? I feel like his career career really had so much potential. There was a time where even if you didn't like country music, you knew Sam Hunt.
He was so on his way to being like a Morgan Wallen. Yeah.
And then he flopped off the planet. He got his DUI.
He had a lot of rumors about just personal issues. Then his music just also took a hit.
He's been trying to rebuild, but then he gets arrested again. Like, do you think it's over for Sam Hunt? So that would depend on a bunch of factors that I have no insight into.
Like, what does the industry think of him? What do the fellow country music world think of him? What does radio think of him? The big wigs? Is he nice to work with? I think if he in earnest like wanted to come back and people really liked him, they would him they would have him as an opener they would give that to him but if he's pissed everyone off along the way and he's really out here on his own and I just want to say like getting arrested or a DUI like never stop Morgan Wallen so something else is block and being you know an alleged alcoholic never stop Morgan Wallen so something because it never stopped Morgan Wallen from like showing up for work like something else is blocking Sam's's self. Yeah.
Yeah. There's kind of a blockage in Sam Hunt.
And I feel like in a couple music genres, if not all of the music industry, like being, you know, breaking the law, getting arrested. It's a rock star.
But for a man, it's so not a big deal. It's so not a big deal.
Yeah. So I think there's something else.
Yeah. I do think like because Sam Hunt is a man like he if he really wanted to and it seems like he doesn't but he could make a comeback yeah it seems like he doesn't he does still make music because I think he loves music and he puts it out but he doesn't really care about like promoting it and yeah and we're gonna go tour and we're gonna go on this radio show and we're gonna do the toast like he doesn't give a fuck yeah and that's probably why he's flopping because he hasn't been on the toast my chair is big enough for the both of us sam hunt if you ever want to come on very very like provocative of you no no no i didn't mean it in that way it was like metaphorical what if your husband heard you say that and i was getting sand hunt in our house i think you should shut up okay cool good to know right there are definitely a couple of people like ben would let me act like really crazy around just to like but i'm not even saying i would be acting crazy yeah but no you said you were sitting you're sharing a chair with him that's really crazy they're like i it wouldn't be in a crazy way but thanks for making it weird oh yeah oh that'll be your new way to let me know when you want to move on from a story.
Yeah, like that I'm over a subject. Oh, God, how scary.
I appreciate it in that moment, but please don't abuse it. No, I won't, I won't.
Hey, I started a new book last night. Ooh, yeah.
I'm thinking of making a beef stew. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, let me ask you a question. That that way I just did it though that was a kind of good because we were reaching the end of the Sam Hunt I love that I'm just calling it out no I'll be really extremely prudent thank you our next story is actually some breaking influencer news Italy that's actually my favorite type of news I don't even think Chiara Ferragni No.
Well, that's like already happening. This is like kind of crazier because she hasn't been spotted with Fidesz in a while, but like there's not been anything like concrete.
Italy's biggest... I love finding things out live on air, like my genuine reaction.
Let's hear it. Italy's biggest influencer, Chiara Ferragni, faces five years in jail as she is charged with fraud for misleading followers that sales of her Easter eggs would fund a children's charity.
So, oh, by the way, this got worse and worse with every word you read of that headline. Like I thought it was going to be tax evasion and I was going to say queen and then I'm like, oh, scamming her followers.
I'm like, oh, well, people are dumb. But now it's like, no, what? This has been like an ongoing story that they colloquial call pandora gate because she was selling these like pink christmas editions of a pandora which is a traditional festive cake which is a fruitless alternative to the more famous panettone what the hell is this story basically this has been an ongoing story because a while ago she promoted these cakes like buy these cakes and a portion of it will go to a children's hospital.
She's selling cakes now? No, it was like a branded thing. Okay.
The cake maker, like it was a whole, she's not making cake. Like it was a sponsored post.
Because she's like a fashion influencer. Okay.
Yes. It was like, the box is very fancy.
Her logo is on it in addition to like the. Oh, a Q-Lab.
It would be like, you know, Kinder X Chiara. Correct.
Just like my Nespresso cups. I use the Chiara Ferragni Nespresso cups.
Anyways, her followers were told that the cash raise would go to Turin's Regina Margarita Hospital for Children and money raised was said to be earmarked for a new scanner to help detect types of bone cancer. However, after a year long investigation, Italy's competition watchdog AGCM announced the fine of 1 million euros.
They found that consumers had been duped into thinking that buying a Faragni branded Pandora they were contributing to the charity in hospital they also find that too they also find the cake maker 420,000 euros they justified the high nine euros price by saying the more cakes they sold the more the children's clinic would receive that's what they said when they were selling the cakes i would assume that in fact the inquiry heard that they had agreed to just 50 000 euros would go to the hospital regardless of how well the cake sold so it wasn't like for every cake sold it was like we're making a flat donation buy as many cakes as you want they added that kiara made no personal payments to the hospital while her companies received 1 million euros from balaco for the branding initiative and related promotional activities. In a video published to her page in 2023, she admitted to a communications error in apology to her fans.
So that was like the civil piece. However, now she is being charged and this might go to trial.
This is like one of those things I imagine in Italy where like you want to make an example out of celebrities of celebrities who break the law like because this is so extreme like she definitely should be fined and honestly she should more so be like publicly shamed for like using charity to sell something that's like really tacky but like it's to go to jail for five years yeah I don't think she'll go to jail for five years Milan Public's prosecutor issued her lawyers with a summons for September 23 with the influencers legal team saying in a statement that their client has committed no crime okay this is like such a weird like not like juicy story what I thought it was gonna be like yeah it seems like the the meat of the story has already happened which was that right and that is totally deceptive like saying a portion of sales will go to a charity You do expect that it is scaled up or down depending on sales. Not a flat fee.
And then after that they're pocketing the rest. So they've all paid fines on that.
And now they really want to make an example of her. Which is surprising because I feel like she's Italy's darling girl.
They do. Like they're so proud of her.
Yeah. I mean, what she's built is amazing.

And I do think her and Fidesz are not together anymore because she never posts him.

And it's been, like, a really long time now.

That's so crazy because their wedding was, like, actually a global affair.

Yeah.

And they had a show.

Yeah, on Prime.

Or they're, like, just going through a tough time.

I don't know.

Maybe she has posted.

But I follow her and I never saw anything concrete.

Yeah. And they have two kids together.
But if they were actually filing for divorce, we would know. Right.
Hmm. So I think she's just going through a hard time.
And perhaps facing jail time at that. Right.
She should not go to jail for this. No, no.
But like seriously deceptive. That's like really shady.
And it's just like one of those things that gives influencers such a bad name yeah and you would think at like this sort of level it wouldn't happen because people have teams and things like this everything you do is just like official and fancy and you know that people are gonna be inquiring right you can't just like not donate to the charity in the way that you said because they did donate fifty thousand dollars that's like not a lot of money for somebody at that level, just to be clear. No.
Oh my God. When on Real Hospice in Beverly Hills, when somebody asked Erica, like, would you sleep with someone's husband for a million dollars? She's like, a million dollars is not a lot of money these days.
I was like, honestly, that's so funny. And $50,000 for like someone of Kiara's level, the way she operates is like literally not a lot of money.
Yeah. And then I wonder if the fines went straight to the hospital or did the government take that?

I mean, if they're fining the hospital, like that's just counterintuitive to this whole.

No, no, no, no, no.

Like when they fined Chiara and the bread maker, did they take all that fine money and give

it to the hospital?

Of course not.

It's a government fine.

Of course not.

Yeah.

So no one actually cares about them sick kids, by the way.

Classic.

Classic.

We're the only ones here like advocating for the children. It's them sick kids, by the way.
Classic. Classic.

We're the only ones here advocating for the children. It's true.
Give it to the children. I believe the children are our future.
Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Something that I feel like we've kind of manifested.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Gretchen Rossi is returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for season 19.
I had a similar thought about a conversation we just recently had about OC kind of crushing the not reboot vibe, but like resetting. But then also dipping into old iconic characters.
Alexis has been on this season. People have been loving it.
So Gretchen is an American treasure. Yeah.
She is talent. And she's somebody who is so desperate to be on reality TV that she actually like will make good television with her desperation.
Like I could spell it from here. It's true.
Nobody wants this to go well more than Gretchen. And by the way, she had that same energy the first time around.
Yes, I think. And we've said not only that OC is doing it well, but like for a lot of these franchises, I think their future lies in the past.
And when you do get new cast members like Roni, there's not that desperation. It's more of a shrewd move.
However, it's just like the OG housewives who are of all franchises who are no longer on the show, like just still have that desperate energy to get back on the show. And that's how you get people who are willing to do whatever on reality TV again.
Yeah, and that's how you also just like really blend the old housewives, like the peak sort of cultural relevance with this new era. And like there's old beefs, like Alexis and Gretchen were on together back in the day.
Then there's years worth of things that happened while they thought they would never be on television again. So they're acting real.
And therein we have herstory. And herstory is what's necessary for a good reality show.
1,000%. I couldn't have said it better myself.
And I think that this is brilliant. And I don't know if it had anything to do with the conversation we had on the toast last week.
But I'm glad to see that this trend, I need to see it in other franchises. Because I think OC is doing it really well.
And OC has such a breadth of crazy people to tap into. They really have years.
But New York, I mean, really does. They have so many people.
I would love to see this. And I don't know if you saw people are freaking out that like the production company that produces Real Housewives in New York posted on their Instagram like a casting call for New York Housewives.
So I don't know if that means that everybody's gone, but things are definitely going to be shaken up because like seriously, it's atrocious. Also, I'll be right back.
I need to get a tissue, but feel free to like make fire points without me. Sure thing.
Sure thing. I would say that's the wrong move.
We don't need a casting call. You need to go into the files and into the history books and pick old cast members who would pair nicely with new cast members.
And I know you're probably thinking of like like when Sona Ramona, I don't think that's right either because I think there would be too much of a gap between the old and the new but there were definitely housewives in New York's history who would pair well with these new younger housewives I'm saying that I don't think it should be like Ramona Sonia vibe for the new roni but they should go into the archives with some former cast members like who Heather I know they tried that but someone of that elk who's like a bit younger Kristen Tacheman Kristen Tacheman Ashley Madison so she could finally sort of rid the stain on her refugee because they're still married so and that's interesting by the way I would love to hear about that yeah there are definitely cast members anyways I think they should take that no I don't need new people. I agree.
There's sort of roadies specific.

Like we're sort of at this impossible place where I don't think that they should bring back those women.

But those women like need to be used in something.

Like I actually think that Sonia and Luann show, Simple Life Vibes, where they went to that like town in Indiana was so funny.

More things like that.

Even I was watching Ramona's stories last night.

She was at an affair, a gala and at the breakers in Palm beach. She got all dressed up and she was like, Oh, she was talking about like her girlfriends and she was out with her girlfriends.
She was like, I have such amazing girlfriends. These are my girlfriends.
This is Amy. This is Jill.
Girlfriends are everything. And I just love my girlfriends.
It was so funny. Like her Instagram is is a movie it's actually a movie and somebody needs to bring it to the mainstream does she live in Palm Beach now or does she live in New York so she bought a condo in Palm Beach I don't know like where her primary residence is and I'm sure she still comes back to the city to see her daughter but she's mostly in Florida every time I watch her stories she's or maybe she only stories when she's on vacation but she's mostly in Florida.
Because I think Real Housewives of Palm Beach is coming down the pipe. I would love to see

Ramona. I had heard about Real Housewives of Palm Beach and also I had heard.
We talked about it

like some of the cast members. Yeah the caliber of women was really.
Of woman. Of woman.
Did I say that?

Yeah. Was really premium.
Yeah so throw Ramona in there. A thousand percent.
Anyways, I was also just randomly stalking Gretchen Rossi the other day, which I never, I hadn't been on her page. She sells handbags.
I hadn't been on her page in years. I didn't know she had two children.
I didn't know for certain if her and Slade were still together. But she's, I was watching her feed.
She's ready. Yeah, no, I know.
I know two things about Gretchen Rossi since she left the Real Housewives of Orange County. She has two babies whose faces she facetunes into oblivion.
Like it's actually the craziest thing. And two, she sells her own handbags.
Great. Roll cameras.
Yeah. Action.
Action. I think I need to start watching OC again because like these are my people no i know it's just a lot it's not a lack of intrigue it's a lack of just time to catch up they went through a couple of bad seasons but they ended up picking up a couple of good people gina and emily like they you and gina i know me it's gina me and emily's my queen sorry i'll No, I don't mess with Gina.
I will maintain that? Me and Emily. Sorry, Emily.
Emily's my queen.

Sorry.

I'll maintain that Emily. No, I don't mess with Gina.

I will maintain that Emily looks like a Gina and that Gina looks like an Emily.

Wait, let me think.

Let me think.

It's a bad call.

When they came on the show, we said that.

You've obviously just like went to the other side.

And now because of the love that you have for Emily, she'll be an Emily to you.

But Emily looks like a Gina and Gina looks like an Emily period okay oh yeah the remainder of today's show is brought to you by Good Ranchers as we welcome the new year it's time to focus on what matters most creating healthier habits and enjoying more moments with family plus spending less money on going out to eat Good Ranchers.com is here to help you turn those resolutions into solutions by shopping with Good Ranchers.

Our next story is a story that is just like I'm living for. She's living.
No, you're going to freak. So Jojo, the singer, I just feel like Jojo, the singer and and who else and who else would it be fletcher see what okay oh actually great call okay thank you put put it i've been put in my place officially jojo admits that she almost swiped right on her co-star from 2006's aquamarine after spotting him on raya i know this is a lot taken um the guy who guy who plays raymond like the heartthrob who sarah paxton is in love with my ipad away far too quickly i think i know him is he like sandy hair yes his name is jake mcdormand he played raymond who is like the end-all and be-all of the movie aquamarine oh wait this is not oh yes that's exactly what i was thinking so let just listen to the deets.
Okay, okay. JoJo made the admission on an episode of First We Feast, Truth or Dab, Rapid Fire, when she was asked about one scene in the film, which she shot when she was 14.
So in this scene, JoJo whispers in Emma Roberts' ear and asked on Truth or Dab what she was whispering. The actress said, we were probably just talking about Jake and how cute he was.
Yes, thank thank you claudia so she continued and it's so funny because i saw him on raya we were both on there and i'm like do i do i swipe because like cute but i kept going because that ship has sailed that ship has not sailed no the ship is at the dock we are ready to board you apt i thought jojo was married she's on raya did she get divorced hold on she had a really cute husband well then i'm at i wrote jojo married and you know what comes up fletcher jordan rogers jojo married singer humbled yeah they were engaged in 2021 Dexter Darden. He's no Jake McDormand.

So maybe this is like an old story oh they broke off their engagement in 2022 okay never mind so she is available and she needs to get together with jake mcdorman today i can't believe that they saw each other on raya. I can't believe she didn't swipe right.
She's so wrong for that.

She is.

It's actually like come across my desk

to perhaps re-watch this movie.

Although I fear, like fear has stopped me from doing it

because I fear it doesn't stand the test of time.

It does.

It does.

For some reason, I feel like,

I don't remember the last time I watched it,

but it doesn't feel so far off.

Like I remember everything.

And it is such an adorable, good movie. movie okay that makes me feel so much better it's also star-studded yeah and at the time like it wasn't a blockbuster hit but it has aged really well in like the conscience of the millennial so Emma Roberts is in it of course and Sarah Paxton I know Sarah Paxton who is Emma Roberts she's just a? She's just a friend.
Her Jojo. They're the two best friends.
And one of them. And Jojo's moving.
And then they get a mermaid. And they can make a wish for the mermaid if they help the mermaid stay as a human girl.
But she needs to have true love's kiss. Duh.
Okay. I definitely.
Like it's not coming like to me at all. So I need to rewatch.
If it makes you feel better. The fact that you don't know this movie backwards and forwards is showing your age in a way that's positive for you.

Slay.

You've never heard of this movie.

Who is Jojo?

The singer?

I don't know her.

Yeah.

Must have been before my time.

Yeah.

So anyways, this is just like, get back out there, Jojo.

I hope he sees this.

And the answer was like, oh, I swiped right like I was waiting for you. Well, that's the thing.
You have to wonder. I'll whisper compliments in your ear.
You have to wonder, like, what happened on his end. Did he also just ignore her? Well, I feel like he probably swiped right.
Because if he had, it depends on the timing. But, like, if he swiped left, he wouldn't have come up for her, you know? Yeah.
Unless she saw him first and he hadn't swiped yet. but i think the odds that he swiped right are pretty high i agree even just like say hello yeah like good times kind of rude that she didn't honestly it doesn't have to be romantic no it's rude that she didn't is she crazy it's a good like and her saying because the time has passed like No, it has not.
And you thought he was cute. Like, are you crazy? Girl, what are you doing? It's Raymond.
It's a great little love. Everybody loves Raymond.
Everybody loves Raymond. It's such a great, like, throwback.
But we need to make this right. Ooh, yeah.
Wow, you really don't care about Aquamarine? No, no, no. By the way, I was just wondering, like, were we on the same page? Like, I felt like that story was coming to an end.
Yeah. Okay.
It's not that I didn't enjoy the story, by the way. I loved it.
Okay. Our final story.
Some more throwback news. Actually, very interesting.
Who remembers Cher Lloyd? Oh, first of all. Who could forget Cher Lloyd is a better question I never forgot Cher Lloyd and I did also see this story so Cher Lloyd has uh done an interview and she is claiming that her record label asked her to seduce Justin Bieber to launch her career so I think we were just talking about Cher Lloyd it feels like semi-recently like saying where did she go what happened to her I feel like she never made it in america she had her album sticks and stones obviously like we would have supported anything that she did but like she didn't crack is she i want you back want want you want you back yeah such a good song so she claimed that her record label previously asked her to seduce justin bieber in order to launch her career she first rose to fame um as a contestant on, which show was it? X Factor UK.
UK in 2010 and then released her debut album, Sticks and Stones. But in an attempt to promote her record, Cher claimed she was asked to hit some of the clubs and find out where Bieber is and leech off of his fame.
Speaking on Paul Brunson's We Need to Talk podcast, she admitted, I walked into my record label and said, look, I really need some cash to try and push my record. Basically, I got told no.
Instead, she was told she needed to hit some of the clubs and find out where Bieber is, and I should try and go and get with him. She added, now this is going back years ago.
I was a teenager, but I was very much with my husband at that same time. He was even stood in that office while I was told that they weren't going to spend any money on this album, That I was to go hook up with someone mega famous and basically leech off of the back of someone else's fame.

Was I not good enough to invest in that you would rather use me in that way?

They didn't care.

In fact, she remembers.

How bad are you at your job?

Like that's your advice?

You literally work at a record label.

Right.

And like why do some people get money to promote their albums than other people who have proven to have like raw talent?

Yeah.

And that they have like people, fans already already like why wouldn't you support that album also the fact that this was like how justin bieber as like a young kid was being spoken about like in the industry also gives me a pill it gives me a bit for both of them yeah i think there's a lot of weirdness if you like ever want to like really look into like justin bieber's rise to fame because he was so young and like so cute and people were just fucking weird about him and they were just like I think like well because it's a perverse industry that doesn't protect children and he was the most successful child musician so yeah I'm sure some things happened yeah yeah and this is just like well it's crazy and and disgusting for Cheryl Lord it's also gross for Justin Bieber yeah and then it then it just makes you wonder how many people used him at that time to launch their own careers. Right, right, right, right.
Which is something you probably always suspect, but now it's like concrete. Not only might someone have a desire to use you, but like they're actually being pushed by adults and business people and people empowered to use this child.
This is also just sad because it's not like Cher, like why wouldn't Cher Lloyd have the support? At the time, if you were there, if you remember like the X Factor days, very much like One Direction time. Like, first of all, it was a machine.
If you were on that show, like you were guaranteed UK to be huge. She had like a couple of songs that were huge hits.
Like why wouldn't she be eligible for like promotional funds?

Yeah.

And the potential to have a huge career because as we said,

she's actually talented.

No,

she was like a pretty young girl. Like there was no reason for her to like not be a plant.

Yeah.

Machine.

Well,

I feel like the plants are the people who comply,

right?

Yeah.

Well,

I don't know what the plants are.

Like,

I don't know.

I've yet to understand what the point of a plant is. People that are easy to control, I think, and who, like, maybe aren't going to say, no, I'm going to marry my high school sweetheart and we're going to have an irrelevant relationship instead of Justin Bieber.
Like, seen with Justin Bieber at a nightclub. Is that it? A musician who appears to be self-made but is supported by a record label family or wealth.
Right. And I think that the record label supports a particular person because they are easy to work with.
Yeah, malleable. And they do what they want and they put out the music that they want and they dress how they want and they go and do whatever they want.
And instead of working with someone who like is a constant struggle to get to do what you want a constant struggle right right yeah like that's i think so and when you think about the people who we think would be interested with your plans like they seem pretty unscrupled yeah yeah i mean the more i study and cover this industry i don't know a single person who has scruples like for real it's It's true. Like the more successful you are, the less scruples you have probably.
And then that's why the people who actually seem to be scrupled and successful are such a marvel like Gwyneth Paltrow, let's say. That's a great example.
But the thing with Gwyneth Paltrow that Gwyneth has that I think others don't is that she's able to be scrupled because with or without her career, she always had something to fall back on. Yes.
Yeah. As a nepo baby.
So maybe that's not even a fair. I think nepotism adds like just a little bit of comfort if you want to be a scrupled person.
If you want to walk away from it all and say, oh, I won't do this. Right.
And maybe they'll fire you from the job, but you would be okay. So yeah, maybe that's not a fair comparison.
No, but she's a good example because she is somebody who's like deeply principled and who like speaks out for what she believes in,

but is also like enormously successful.

And it's a good example,

except that she never had to wonder like,

do I have to run home to my small town

and go back to that one horse town?

Yeah, it wasn't,

there were multiple horses in her town.

Yeah, on her property.

Yeah. That's sad it is sad and at the end of the day and it just reminded me of Cher Lloyd that like her bops are bops and her covers like when she was on x factor probably even better than her bops because she was performing like popular music so amazing and at the end of the day like we I actually am mad because we've been denied the magic of Sherry Lloyd yeah her music was like really poppy dance fun young but like what was crazy about her was she has an amazing voice and then she also rapped yes yes get you a girl who can do both yes she was kind of like the the British version of Carmen but they were multiple people and she was doing it all okay Carmen was Carmen was not multiple people.
Like, I know it was a husband and wife duo. So one of them can sing and one of them can rap.
I'm not impressed. No, but the guy was never doing anything.
That's what I'm saying. She was rapping and singing.
I think maybe he was, like, doing some of the production. Piano.
Yeah, okay. That's not the same.
Sheryl Lloyd had a piano player, too. Okay.
He just wasn't't, like I was actually very generous of Carmen to become a band, like a duo, not just a girl.

And not just be Amy Noonan.

Correct.

Instead, they're Carmen.

So let's get up.

Let's get on it.

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight.

Come on.

That's right.

Cheerio. That's where she sounds like Cher Lloyd.
And then then also hello that's not i just came to say hello who was that i don't know that was a cultural shift yeah but that's not either one of the people we've been discussing here today okay but i just need to now put a pin in that kind of a big episode for music and for throwbacks. And for throwbacks which we love

even though we're so young we can barely remember like

last year. Martin Solveig and

Dragonette. Right.
Not

It's less impressive that it was Martin Solveig.

Yeah. But not Carmen.

Unfortunately for them.

That's our show. Wow.

This is going to be our first show in like a

month that's under an hour. Should we talk for one more

minute? I can't. If you hadn't kept cutting me off with your little transitions we'd be there yeah i actually can no longer see my timer in the new studio in the new pns that's kind of a problem yeah i'm kind of flying blind here oh that is bad yeah yeah so i'll i'll rearrange do we want to like sit around and fuck around for a few more minutes? Anything like you want to say or announce? Tomorrow's Friday is very exciting.
Let me see if like anything is going on on my phone. Oh, I actually saw an interesting, let's do the bonus story that I just was reading while you were doing the ads.
Because Claire Crawley has spoken out about Matt and Rachel. And when I saw it, I was like, what could she possibly have to say? She has what to say.
And it's important to note, she's like not a thirsty person. No.
She had her season. I actually think like she regrets it immensely.
And she's like so moved on with her life, married with a baby. She's not thirsty.
She does like content, but she's not someone who's always like trying to be an Us Weekly. No, not at all.
She really genuinely wanted to get married and have a family. And that's what she did like she was very authentic about her desires like respect she posted on instagram stories catching up on socal news and smh some of this stuff remember she's such a mom remembering that one time i specifically asked producers to please not allow one specific guy on my season because i knew for a fact he was not looking for a serious relationship whatsoever and I didn't want him to waste anyone's time.
So instead they made him the next Bachelor. Well, then that's interesting because Matt James is the only person in the franchise history to have become the lead without ever being on the show.
Yeah. And I guess it wasn't for lack of trying, but Claire had said no.
Yeah, I think we knew that he was like gonna be on's season. And then instead they announced him as the bachelor.
So it was like, well, then he wouldn't be on Claire's season because he has this gig waiting for him. I didn't realize that it was because Claire did not want him.
Because she saw something in him, obviously a thirstiness because he was Matt G. I mean, Taylor, Tyler Cameron's best friend.
That whole thing was so crazy. And then also it was BLM and they were like the bachelor was getting dragged to filth they had never had a right right black male lead and then they had this guy who was like already affiliated with the franchise kind of because through Tyler and then almost going on Claire's season they're like okay you're our guy yeah and then they didn't realize like he doesn't want to get engaged well no not only that like they thought they were like course correcting like 20 years of never having had a black lead and then they end up with this big scandal right so i forgot that like the order of things was claire crawley and then matt james i was watching jeopardy last night and like it was recorded so like there was like a minute before and they're playing commercials for the new season of the bachelor i was like who is watching this i genuinely forgot that it was still on i saw that it premiered i don't know i feel like i'm getting to like an age in my life where you could see yourself watching it again where i could see myself watching again the way that like older people watch the bachelor yeah yeah you know it was big with that with that demo of just like older women like i think i'm It's think I'm in my senior age where I would love to watch these young people fall in love.
That's actually hilarious. The problem is that like the episodes are really long and I would want to watch like very passively and not not week to week.
But then this is where this job comes like because it's like I have to recap it. It's not a show that can be recapped anymore.
And that's, I feel. That's why I stopped watching it because they really took advantage of your time.
Like the way that they had hours and hours of episodes per week with so many commercials and so much clickbait and so much like cliffhangers. It really became unenjoyable where like, I would say 65% of the episode you were watching was so unsubstantial.
Yeah. But if I could like batch episodes, fast forward through dates, I dates i would but then like then i wouldn't be recapping it on the show and like seriously what the fuck am i doing watching the bachelor if i'm not recapping it on the show and if i'm recapping on the show is literally anyone watching and listening no no right so that's why i won't be watching the bachelor and that's why i believe we've made it to an hour so we're good check I'm glad we discussed that though Claire Crawley me too that's how I'll show you guys thank you so much for listening to the Toast of the Night I'm wanting to share where we deliver the fast stories you need to do for money through Friday and YouTube if you're watching us on YouTube please don't forget to subscribe if you have a thumbs up we're also available as podcast so whatever podcast can be found so it's Spotify iTunes, Stitcher Public Radio I already box all the places to visit the podcast and find us a totally fine story but I'm beautiful about our weekly talented
