A
Good morning, millennials.
- [00:04]
B
Welcome back to the toast and happy Thursday. That feels right, that feels appropriate, that feels fair. It feels just.
- [00:10]
A
I feel like the last 24 hours have just been so tumultuous for me that it feels like a whole new week. Like I'm a. I'm on a whole new planet now, you know?
- [00:20]
B
Not tumultuous tumultuous.
- [00:23]
A
Like, I just had the worst night. Not to start off complaining, but I just had the worst night's sleep. More sickness in the house, Charlie, with the ear infection this morning.
- [00:32]
B
I stand by what I said yesterday. It's on. I'm throwing hands. If I ever meet this infection that has infected both of my nephews, it's on.
- [00:41]
A
Then he was up throughout the night last night. And when he Woke up at 2:30, I woke up and like I had full body aches, chills.
- [00:47]
B
Now you.
- [00:48]
A
Yeah, my throat was killing me, so I took one of my high dose ibuprofen that I got prescribed when I gave birth. Like, shout out to that prescription. The gift that keeps giving. And I woke up feeling much better. But like, my back is hurting again now. So it's just, I'm in the thick of it. I'm not even gonna pretend like I know what's going on in the world. This morning was just so crazy. Like, Bruno's already getting groomed. We had a window replaced this morning.
- [01:10]
B
Like, it's just nothing's going on in the world. I can assure you you've missed absolutely nothing.
- [01:15]
A
Been wild. And then I was up late last night editing the redheads, which dropped today. So if you want to hear my better self, check that out.
- [01:23]
B
Not to skip past everything you just said, I do want to rewind really briefly to your use of the word tumultuous. I feel as though that's not a word we get. We use enough between you and I as a society, but also here at the toast and I just want to make tumultuous great again.
- [01:38]
A
Okay, but also make language mean something again. And don't use malama. Don't use it extraneously.
- [01:47]
B
Make language mean something again. That I definitely agree with. But tumultuous is a really good word. It reminds me of treacherous.
- [01:53]
A
Oh. I would also say my 24 hours were treacherous in the definition that we use. And also what I learned in my book, the Gift that Keeps on Giving, is that any word, no matter how it's pronounced or said, like if, even if it's wrong, if it goes that way for 10 years. And that's how People use the word like, that's how language works. It just becomes part of the lexicon. So, like, let's keep redefining treacherous.
- [02:13]
B
I got to that part in the book last night. The guy at the liquor store.
- [02:16]
A
Yes.
- [02:17]
B
Yeah. Though. Yeah, yeah, no, I know what you're talking about because I also read maybe I should host the redheads.
- [02:25]
A
Are you enjoying the book?
- [02:27]
B
I am. Ish.
- [02:29]
A
I mean, I don't see you, like, being obsessed with Phoebe.
- [02:32]
B
Well, that's the thing. It's. For me, a book automatically goes down a star if the main character whose POV we're reading from is unlikable or not. Someone I can champion.
- [02:44]
A
Yeah.
- [02:44]
B
And I'm very much like a self starter, a dust yourself off type of gal. I try to see the positive in life and I just feel like this girl is to cut like, life is hard 100%. And she's just like. I don't know. I feel like she's not helping her situation at all.
- [02:57]
A
What percent are you at?
- [02:59]
B
Like three.
- [03:00]
A
Oh, okay. Okay. I'm gonna let you go on the ride.
- [03:03]
B
Okay.
- [03:03]
A
I'm not gonna foist any expectations onto you.
- [03:07]
B
Yeah, I just watched the episode of Curb the foist. So funny.
- [03:14]
A
So good.
- [03:17]
B
What's. What? I know you didn't have like, a fab morning. I didn't have like a fab mining.
- [03:21]
A
I was hoping for. How's your morning?
- [03:24]
B
It's. It's relatively standard, which I guess comparatively, like, it's amazing to yours, but just it snowed in NYC last night. Had to wear my snow boots to work last night. But that type of snow where it also rained, so not only did it not stick, we didn't get any favorite. We got no party vibes.
- [03:40]
A
You got brown.
- [03:40]
B
And like, the kids. The kids still have to go to school now. They're sludge on the ground. Like gray, sludgy ice. Thanks.
- [03:48]
A
Well, how's your new commute, by the way? I feel like you talked a lot about your old commute and a lot about how you were looking forward to the new one, but, like, what's it been? Like, I don't even know where her new studio is.
- [03:57]
B
I think the sheer fact that I haven't remarked on it is really all you need to know because a commute should be an ideal commute. Like, requires no commentary, you know, there's no crazy traffic. There's no crazy walking. It's just like, will you text me.
- [04:12]
A
Where the new studio is just so I can like.
- [04:14]
B
Do you not know the address?
- [04:15]
A
I don't know, like, the cross streets. Like, can you just text it to me so I can put in this very moment so I can put myself in your snow boots?
- [04:22]
B
You want me to do it right now?
- [04:23]
A
Yeah, just so I can put myself in your snow boots?
- [04:26]
B
Yeah, sure, sure.
- [04:27]
A
You know, like, to place myself in the context of everything my sister's experienced this morning, I feel like I really match the studio today. Oh, you know what? I had a thought about the frames that I wanted to say.
- [04:40]
B
Oh, okay. Are you reframing?
- [04:43]
A
No. So this is what I was thinking, because, of course, like, we've been making so many jokes about the frames and, like, people, like, really, really don't like them. And it's like, why would we continue to do something, like, out of spite that people don't like? And so I imagined myself taking down the frames, and it made me sad because I like them. I feel like we never said that. Like, I feel like we just are being like. Yeah, but I just want to say, like, I personally really like them, and I would consider taking that down, but they make. That makes me sad because I really like them.
- [05:11]
B
I agree. I like them a lot. And I especially like how they look in our vertical video, which is huge for us when we promote our show, like, our clips on social media. It's a huge. It's like our one and only means of marketing our show. And yes, we like them a lot. And it's also, like, effective for different formats for us.
- [05:30]
A
Yeah.
- [05:30]
B
And if we were to take them down, which we're not, like, they are welded to the wall, we'd have to redo the wallpaper. Like, they are staying. And I just want to say, like, everyone, you're allowed to have your opinion. 100%. You could say they're the ugliest frames you've ever seen in your life. And that's valid. That is your truth, 100%. But I actually need the people who are saying, like, they're getting vertigo and migraines and they have to stop watching because of the frames. I actually need you to calm down because even by my standards, that is so fudgeing dramatic. Like, you're going to be okay. You could still watch a show and the frames are saying, yeah, I just.
- [05:58]
A
Feel like we never said how much we like them. We were just, like, sticking it to the man Neosis. No, no.
- [06:03]
B
This whole, like, aesthetic is our choice. Like, we chose all this.
- [06:06]
A
We love it. And so I won't take them down because that would make me sad. I would climb into bed And I start feeling sad right at the end of the day.
- [06:13]
B
Like, we sit here, you know, we look at the frames. Actually, the frames kind of look at us. Yeah.
- [06:19]
A
Oh, the frames.
- [06:21]
B
I texted you our new studio address if you're interested in placing yourself.
- [06:25]
A
That's actually not where I was thinking it was, so. I am so glad to know where you are in this world.
- [06:32]
B
Yeah, it's a good world and it's a good studio and I'm so glad to be out of that old studio. And yes, you haven't heard about my commute because it's been so non eventful. Nothing to write home about.
- [06:43]
A
That's so great.
- [06:44]
B
Yeah, It's Thursday, very chill kind of day. You know, kind of sandwiched between Dear Toasters, sandwiched between Queenie and Weenie and not this week.
- [06:56]
A
And Southern charm recap.
- [06:58]
B
Oh, is that today?
- [06:59]
A
No, that's Friday. But it's sandwiched between. Oh, yeah, all the things we do on Friday.
- [07:03]
B
I am like, I'm a part of Southern charm erasure. Like I, I for some reason just like can't. And I have nothing against it. I like all the castmates, they've come on the toast. They're actually really lovely people. I think it's a great show for some reason. Like, I just can't get on board with it, you know, I actually think.
- [07:19]
A
Of all the reality shows, the cast members in person are some of the best people.
- [07:25]
B
They're like. I know.
- [07:26]
A
They're also more like real people, I guess. Other reality shows, they live in LA or New York and they're very like celebrity but like Southern term. It's just like seriously filming real people living in Charleston. And then when the cameras go down.
- [07:35]
B
Like they go back to their regular themselves and. Yeah, and like when you meet them, they really are very similar to who they portray on the show. Sometimes you'll meet a reality star who's like so different from the character that they play. It's like really like a role for them. Whereas Southern charm people are just like filming themselves. It's not even like a role whatsoever.
- [07:54]
A
Yeah, yeah. They don't like step into the villain role. They're just being themselves.
- [07:58]
B
They're just villains.
- [07:59]
A
And I do also feel like Southern charm has been coming up a lot in the. In the culture.
- [08:04]
B
Culture, of course.
- [08:05]
A
Like, it's good that I'm staying on top of it, you know?
- [08:08]
B
Yeah. P and Craig.
- [08:09]
A
I don't just do it like for my health.
- [08:11]
B
No, no, you do it for the health of the business.
- [08:13]
A
Exactly.
- [08:14]
B
That's beautiful. Well, we don't really have a lot to recap in the prefast 5 banter today, so if you wanted to dive in, I would be open. Unless you had anything else you wanted to discuss. Any issues. You want to take umbrage with me? You want to, like, start a fight?
- [08:25]
A
No. Should I want to start a fight with you? Like, did you do something to me?
- [08:29]
B
I don't know.
- [08:31]
A
You didn't? Not to my knowledge, no. That's really been my last 24 hours editing redheads and. Oh, and we can't add a fifth host because, like, the way this show looks when it's edited, like, the amount of cuts, it's so crazy. So no. And then just like, sickness. So I'm really hoping for brighter days ahead and hopefully, like, I don't get much worse. Hopefully. Like, this is it for me, this low grade flu.
- [08:54]
B
I also feel like in years past, the week leading up to the super bowl, like, we've been talking about the super bowl so little. Whereas in weeks past, it's like every day there's big news coming out, but not this year. I feel like it's kind of low key.
- [09:05]
A
It does feel like that. I keep forgetting it's the super bowl this weekend.
- [09:10]
B
Yeah. And the only reason I even remember that all those people are New Orleans is because some of the videos of Travis at press conferences have gone viral.
- [09:18]
A
That's really all I've seen.
- [09:20]
B
That's all I've seen from the Super Bowl. Right.
- [09:22]
A
Oh, when I saw a picture of Jalen and Patrick Mahomes wearing the same outfit, twinning, like, on purpose.
- [09:27]
B
On purpose. Oh, yeah.
- [09:29]
A
It was like a tracksuit.
- [09:31]
B
No, I saw like so many clips from Travis's press conference yesterday that was actually making me butt clench and making me embarrassed to be of the same species as that reporter from cnbc. And I actually think. Not that I'm pro cancel culture in any way, but I don't know how do we get these journalists to stop acting this way unless we, like, name shame and blame. Yeah. So, yes, CNBC and Nickelodeon. Did you see the CNBC girl? She was trying to, like, ask questions about sports, but from her angle, which is finance. She works for cnbc. I don't know why the fuck she's at the Super Bowl. But okay, let me, let me get in there with like an in finance question, but let me also take a little bit of a Taylor Swift angle. So she was trying to do so much with her question. Talk to somebody who works in sports about her beat, which is finance. And Then also make a moment with Taylor. Travis, do you think diamonds are a good investment? And he's like, yeah, yeah.
- [10:26]
A
And he, he brought it back to the super bowl ring. He's pretty.
- [10:29]
B
Oh, it was a great answer. That was a great answer. And. But she wouldn't give up. She would not be deterred. She was like, are you going to be purchasing any diamonds anytime soon? And he was like, I don't know. He, like for the most part, we're always saying he's very gracious with these people, but you could tell he's at like the end of his rope. He was like.
- [10:50]
A
I think he's been.
- [10:51]
B
I'll have to see. I'll have to see what I need maybe some earrings. That's what he said.
- [10:54]
A
I think he's been gracious, like to his own detriment because he has allowed people, they're not scared of him. They're not scared to ask him embarrassing questions. And I think that if they got more of a cold shoulder like other athletes give them when they ask stupid questions, like, they would come correct.
- [11:08]
B
And then she finished off the interview with like the most random, dumb, bad question. Proof that she needs to not only leave the super bowl, she needs to leave this industry. She goes, any good stocks right now? That's me. My first day in this country on planet Earth. I'm an alien from, from a different planet. And I come and I need to pretend to be a journalist who works at cnbc. So I would say, any good stocks right now?
- [11:37]
A
Did he have an answer?
- [11:39]
B
Yeah, he was. He actually made her feel stupid. Thank you. He goes, I don't know. I'd have to talk to like my financial advisors. I'm a, I'm a Travis. What does he play? A tight end.
- [11:49]
A
Right. I'm a football.
- [11:50]
B
I'm not, I'm not too sure about that. He's like, I'm not too sure. I'd have to. I haven't spoken to like my finance people about it. Such a dumb question. Like, I actually wanted to die for everyone involved. And you're right. Like it's. At first it was really admirable how he handled some of these clowns with, you know, kid hands and was very, you know, playing around. Hahaha. But now it's his third Super Bowl. This people have really taken his kindness for weakness and they're getting worse.
- [12:16]
A
Yeah. He's got to put his foot down. He's got to bring out mean travy.
- [12:20]
B
Yeah. And you could tell his vibe was, was shifting, but he's he can't be rude for a million reasons. And he's also just not a rude person. But sometimes it's like, everyone has their limit. Yeah. And I just think. I think it's time he hit his. Like, really? We're due. We're due.
- [12:37]
A
Yeah. Damn. Well, yes. The super bowl this weekend. What are you doing for the Super Bowl?
- [12:43]
B
Me and Ben were discussing last night. He was like, you know, telling me all the offerings, places we could go, people we could do with, and none of it sounded as good as watching it in my bed.
- [12:50]
A
Yeah.
- [12:51]
B
So that's where we landed. And I said, next year, we can go balls to the wall. But, like, not to be. It has something to do with being pregnant, honestly. It's the fact that, like, I like the Super Bowl. Like, I like to watch it, like, television. When you're at a party, everyone's talking, chatting, and you can't hear anything. You can't watch the commercials. Like, it's just not premium. I like to. I have to come here and recap it.
- [13:10]
A
What are you gonna eat?
- [13:11]
B
That's what Ben and I were discussing after we decided to just stay in bed. And he's gonna come to me with a list of things, and we'll either veto.
- [13:18]
A
Prepare the menu.
- [13:19]
B
Yeah.
- [13:20]
A
Yummo.
- [13:21]
B
Yeah. What about you?
- [13:22]
A
I'm watching with my neighbors. I mean, my neighbors invited us for, like, a Super bowl party.
- [13:29]
B
Wasn't expecting to take a stray bullet on the toast this morning. Are they hosting or are you?
- [13:33]
A
They're hosting, which is so nice for me.
- [13:35]
B
Oh, that's good. At least you're not, like, opening up your home to people who aren't me.
- [13:38]
A
And what time does the game start? Does anyone know? It's probably.
- [13:41]
B
I think it's late.
- [13:43]
A
Yeah. So then I'll have to come home for, like, to put the boys downtime. And then I'll stay watching here, so that way I'll get, like, the social element, and I can also hopefully make it at home for, like, halftime show and, like, the entertainment.
- [13:56]
B
Yeah. I just think, like, when you're as serious about sports as we are, you can't be out partying at the Super Bowl.
- [14:02]
A
You have to.
- [14:03]
B
You can't miss a moment. So hopefully, like, they start doing stuff soon. Like, there's been no news. That's the fun part. Everybody, they've been down there for a whole week. Like, what's the day? Yeah, it does. Had, like, a big party last night.
- [14:14]
A
Oh, wow. I didn't even know.
- [14:15]
B
Yeah. Jason Kelsey Hill said, obviously Travis couldn't go. But like, all these brands, everybody's down to the super bowl, like, trying to make a moment and New Heights had, like, a big party.
- [14:23]
A
I say none of you are making a moment.
- [14:25]
B
No, I know. The only reason I know about it is Brianna Chicken Fry went and she was, like, freaking. If Taylor was going to be there, she wasn't there. But I saw her getting ready for it and that's the only reason I knew that's. So where is the hype? Am I, like, not on the right platforms?
- [14:36]
A
You're 100% right. Because also I've been, like, looking for stories all morning and I forgot it was the super bowl on Sunday. Like, it's.
- [14:43]
B
And like, where are the celebs? Stepping out, spending time in New Orleans. Like, where is all of it?
- [14:47]
A
It's such a good question.
- [14:49]
B
Okay. Like, I'm glad about the only one feeling like, this is a weird Super Bowl.
- [14:52]
A
Yeah.
- [14:52]
B
Because remember when it was in Arizona, like, every day there was a big party and everyone was there. Vegas. What is it?
- [15:00]
A
I don't know. Maybe it'll ramp up.
- [15:02]
B
The vibes are off.
- [15:03]
A
Maybe it'll ramp up soon because right now only the players are there. Like, the celebrities and influencers probably get there for the weekend. Like today.
- [15:08]
B
No, I saw, like, I saw a lot of people there, like, on social media, exclusively through Brianna Chicken Fry. But all the barstool people are down there.
- [15:16]
A
Like super bowl correspondent.
- [15:18]
B
Literally.
- [15:19]
A
Yeah. Okay.

A
Thank you, Turdain.
- [19:40]
B
You're welcome.
- [19:42]
A
Our first story, The Kardashians Season 6 premiered in the middle of the night. I should have watched that while I couldn't fall asleep.
- [19:49]
B
Literally in the middle of the night.
- [19:51]
A
Literally. I mean, the episodes drop at midnight, but you would think a premiere, like they would have given it to us in a timely manner anytime.
- [19:57]
B
We're like talking about the Kardashian show, like, it's so annoying. Like, because first of all, they should 100% go midnight. No, they should go 9, 9pm Eastern midnight. Yeah, whatever. Like the fact that they release it at midnight, which is fine, like we can all watch it the next day, but then all the news stories are out like spoiling it. It's such an inefficient way to fucking launch a show. It pisses me off, actually.
- [20:22]
A
We say this every season.
- [20:23]
B
I know. And why is nobody listening?
- [20:25]
A
They're straight up IGN us. But Kardashians premiered in the middle of the night. A couple of news making headlines because Khloe reunited with Lamar for the first time in nine years on the show.
- [20:36]
B
And she's like, a big thing that came out of the trailer, and I'm surprised they dropped it in the first episode. I don't know why I thought they'd be teasing it the whole, like, season.
- [20:43]
A
Well, I'm glad that they didn't.
- [20:44]
B
Me too.
- [20:45]
A
Yeah. She's talking about the trauma of unloving him and talking about their marriage and the good times and how Lamar was truly, like, the love of her life. She had a secret meeting with him at Malika's house. She didn't tell her sisters or mom because, like, Chris would have been crying. And they had a conversation that I haven't had a chance to watch yet, but the first conversation in years.
- [21:07]
B
It's. It was really weird, honestly. Like, he was an hour late, and he came and he was acting, like, so guilty. Like, he was, like, sweating and nervous and mumbling his words. I think he was probably just nervous, but it was weird. And I understand why Chloe felt like having the emotional support of Malika there would be beneficial for her. But to be honest, I found Malika's presence, like, really annoying. But at the end, but they weren't having, like, a good conversation, but. And Malika kept just, like, intervening, like, to help with the awkwardness, and maybe if she wasn't there, like, it wouldn't have been better, but I don't know. It just felt, like, so private.
- [21:40]
A
Yeah.
- [21:40]
B
And Chloe basically has all this stuff from. I think she's moving or whatever, all this old stuff of Lamar's that she had wanted to give back to him. She's moving.
- [21:49]
A
She just built that house.
- [21:50]
B
Or, like, she built the house, and while she was moving, she found all this stuff, and so she had it packed up for him. And so you see him opening his six man Award, like, really? Were you okay? No. No. You know. You guys know the six man award, like, means everything to me.
- [22:04]
A
Yeah.
- [22:05]
B
This necklace she had made him that was, like, he wore all the time, this big diamond necklace that had three angel wings representing his mom, his grandma, and his son who he lost. And it was like. I don't know, it wasn't hitting in the way that I thought it would when I thought these two would be reunited. Now, I've seen people online saying that, like, you know, justice for Lamar. This felt very exploitative, and I. I don't agree with that. He definitely was uncomfortable being on camera, but he had said because she's like, what are you up to? He's like, I'm just hustling, you know, he doesn't play anymore. He's doing reality shows, Keeping up with sports.
- [22:34]
A
Like, he is definitely centers.
- [22:38]
B
Yeah. So I actually think, like, this was probably a really good opportunity. I'm sure he got paid not a ton, but, like, to be on the show, you just have to get paid and just more exposure for him and his businesses. Like, it's all like this in this line of work. Like, them having him on is. Is actually big for him. So I get why people feel like it was weird because he. People feel very. Just protective of him, and he's very sensitive. I didn't think it was exploitative. I just thought, like, I don't know. I didn't feel. I didn't get, like, resolution. And then they were just flashing back to, like, old footage of them. And it's such a time. Like, it's literally a different time. It's so crazy. And it's sad, obviously, but I feel like I've stopped feeling sad about these two a little while ago.
- [23:16]
A
Yeah. It seems like the conversation was probably just sad because there's two people who love each other, and Chloe, you know, if it were up to her, she would have been with him for the long term, but, like, bigger issues were.
- [23:27]
B
At play, and the conversation got it, like, got off to a bad start, because the first thing he said is, like, where's Rob? I think he thought they were at Chloe's house. They were at Malika's house, and they were like, rob's at his house. This is Malika's house. And I think just the immediate mention of Rob, I think brought Chloe back. Like, Rob was a huge part of the end of their relationship. And Chloe, like, never really expressly said what happened, but when they were all living together in that house that Jessica Simpson lived in, Chloe had said that was, like, some of the darkest times. That's like, really when we stopped seeing Rob after that. So I don't know what the hell went down.
- [23:57]
A
Yeah.
- [23:57]
B
But clearly, like, the three of them were a very toxic group, where at first they were, like, so tight. And then things got weird with Lamar and Rob, I think, like, doing bad things. So when he said that, I think it, like, it didn't break the ice in a good way.
- [24:11]
A
Got it.
- [24:11]
B
For me, my immediate reaction was like, no, don't mention Rob.
- [24:14]
A
Was there any talk of keeping up with sports?
- [24:17]
B
No.
- [24:18]
A
Well, that's a real shame.
- [24:20]
B
Yeah, I agree. I agree. I don't know this didn't hit. The thing is I'm. I'm actually happy for Kardashians on Hulu because I feel like for the last couple of years, like they keep trying to like make moments on the show and they just really fall flat. People are not. I can't remember the last time something that happened on the show like really became. I opened my tick tock the next day and it's everything that I see and that's what I saw this morning. So I'm happy for them that like they tried to make a moment and they actually worked. Yeah, I think it's good for the show. I feel like now people are talking about the premiere.
- [24:46]
A
They react to news on the show, they don't make the news. Like it's not like he was making things, it's just reacting to things that happen. Because another thing that I saw was Kim was talking about the roast of Tom Brady and her experience.
- [24:57]
B
Oh, and to be clear, I didn't watch the whole episode. I just watched obviously Chloe and Lamar, 10 minutes scene.
- [25:02]
A
No, I thought that this was really interesting because she was blasting one of the comedians who pretty much just like called her a. And then people went back and it's comedian Tony Hinchcliffe classic. And she was talking about how like that just like bothered her and it's just like the low hanging fruit of jokes. And it is. And that like she never wants to do a roast again.
- [25:21]
B
Well, I can't even imagine why she would want to do it in the first place. But some lessons have to be learned the hard way. And I agree. It's like not a creative joke. Like if you're gonna make if. But that's the thing about a roast. You walk into a roast and it's like no holds bar. It's like very low. It's low bar, bottom of the barrel, like really below the belt type of shit. So Kim being Kim, like she should have known what people were gonna say about her, like sex tape. Haha. It's not a creative joke. Somebody really funny and smart wasn't making a joke like that.
- [25:48]
A
Yeah.
- [25:49]
B
So I agree with her and I doubt she'll ever show up to a roast ever again.
- [25:54]
A
Yeah, but I thought it was.
- [25:56]
B
Plus she got booed.
- [25:57]
A
Oh, that's right. But I felt like the roast in general, like the news that came from it was good for her. Like she did well and maybe she had like him. Yeah.
- [26:06]
B
No. Oh my God. Everyone's just talking about the booing.
- [26:08]
A
Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I Remember, like, her jokes doing well.
- [26:11]
B
And I don't even remember people talking about her jokes. I couldn't even recite one joke she made. All I remember was the news about her getting booed.
- [26:17]
A
Oh. So, yeah, I guess that's why she wouldn't want to do it again.
- [26:19]
B
Yeah, of course. And then, like, when they do talk about her, they call her a. Why would she ever sign up for that?
- [26:23]
A
I don't know.
- [26:24]
B
No. Whenever I think about roasts, not to bring up Joan Rivers documentary, but it is a timeless piece of art she is getting ready for. She's been chosen to be, like, a Comedy Central roast. And she's like, it's an honor. It's an honor. It's the last thing on the planet she wants to do. She knows everyone's just gonna, like, make fun of her face and her plastic surgery and it's, like, not funny. It's not smart, it's not creative. But it's so much money and it's, quote, an honor. And she hates every minute of it. She just, like, sits through it for the money and also for, like, the platform.
- [26:51]
A
Yeah.
- [26:51]
B
And ever since then, like, I just find roasts, like, of women, I find them repugnant.
- [26:55]
A
Yeah. For it to be your own rose. Because even the Martha Stewart documentary, like, she got roasted at Justin Bieber's. But Net. Net. It was good for her. But still, you have to sit there and listen to those disgusting jokes about yourself. Like, it better.
- [27:06]
B
It just. It's different for a woman too. Like, the jokes are just so disgusting. Like, they talk about, like, your low hanging vagina. It's really, really. It's disgusting. But they can also be enormously, like, helpful and rehabilitated for someone's image.
- [27:19]
A
Justin Bieber, Nikki Glazer.
- [27:22]
B
Oh, well, yes. I'm talking about if you are the.
- [27:23]
A
Subject of a host, two things. Subject. And then also panelist who you are a open season. If you're sitting up on the dais.
- [27:32]
B
Yeah. I could never, I will never participate.
- [27:35]
A
In people who, like, have their birthday party and they're like, I want it to be a roast of me.
- [27:41]
B
Jackie, when we were in Portugal for Brian's 40th, like, on the last night, he wanted a roast and he asked me to host it. And he had like six or seven people roast him. And I said, like, what? Obviously can't we talk about? Like, just tell me and I'll tell everyone. And he was like, nothing. Like, he was seriously, like, I don't give a fuck.
- [27:54]
A
That is could never be me.
- [27:57]
B
Yeah. But also, when people have, like, their friends write roasts for them, your friends aren't like, seasoned comics, and your friends aren't going for, like, really disgusting jokes. You're just, like, telling embarrassing stories more. It's different than, like, a professional roast with comics who write, like, dirty jokes.
- [28:12]
A
Yes. But it's also like, those comics are trained in the art of, like, writing jokes, whereas your friend just, like, wants to do a roast. Like, I just feel like it could go so sideways. And all it takes is one comment to seriously ruin your night and ruin your friendship.
- [28:25]
B
But you. It takes a certain type of person to request that sort of activity for your birthday. You can't. And. And. And if somebody does say something completely out of line, you are. You have no ground to stand on. You cannot be mad.
- [28:37]
A
That's what you're saying. You can't be mad.
- [28:39]
B
You can't be mad. Okay, If. If it's like a regular person having a birthday party, like, yeah, this was literally your idea. The vlog squad used to do that. Do you remember that?
- [28:50]
A
No.
- [28:51]
B
Back in the vlog squad, like, heyday, one of the things that they did that people loved was like, for some of the members birthday, they would, like, rent out a comedy club and they would vlog the whole thing, and it would all be online and people would, like, die because it would be like, like members of the vlog squad who, you know, roasting other members. And it got real. It was like. It was dark.
- [29:06]
A
Oh, my God.
- [29:07]
B
I could never.
- [29:08]
A
Could never.
- [29:09]
B
It was mostly the male members. I could never.
- [29:11]
A
Well, speaking of Tom Brady, our next story, some related news, because Bizzelle Giselle Bunchell Junction Sell Junction is now a mom of three. She has welcomed her first baby with her boyfriend, Joaquin Valente. We reported a few months ago that she was pregnant, and now she has given birth to a new bed.
- [29:28]
B
I have loved how this story has unfolded for Giselle. Honestly, you'd love to see she, like, played the long game and now net. Net, like, she. She's probably in such a better place, so much happier. Not that it's a competition between her and Tom, but if it was, he would be losing.
- [29:42]
A
He's not.
- [29:43]
B
And we know, like, it was hard for her. We know, like, he really forced her hand to. To this divorce. And even as recently as, like maybe a year ago, like before her pregnancy announcement, when she was pulled over by the cop and she just had, like, that breakdown, it's been very difficult for her. And I love to see her now in this era of her life. Thriving. And when you look at Tom Brady, not that he's not thriving, but I don't feel like he has a lot of personal happiness.
- [30:06]
A
Yeah, I don't think he has a lot of personal happiness. And as we said when we found out she was pregnant, like, I love this, like, turning its stereotype on its head because typically, like after a long term marriage, like, the man can go off and have another baby and men can do those things. And at a certain age, like a woman can't, but she.
- [30:24]
B
Because she keeps her body like a temple.
- [30:26]
A
Yeah. She's been able to flip the chair. She's got like the younger man and the new baby. Young baby. It's so great for women.
- [30:34]
B
I totally forgot that that was your analysis on the subject. And it's so poignant, actually. It never happens.
- [30:41]
A
It doesn't get to happen a lot because of just biology, science.
- [30:45]
B
Yeah, no, it's really pargy.
- [30:48]
A
I love.
- [30:48]
B
I'm really happy for her. What do we think the baby's name is? She also, like, doesn't give a flying about, like, public life anymore. Like, we know things about Giselle just because she's so famous, she doesn't share. I think she's really been like, she's had enough. I think she saw an ugly side of it with, with her divorce and stuff. So I don't know, there's not gonna be like a, you know, a big baby name announcement. I wonder what we're gonna find out.
- [31:08]
A
Yeah, probably some casual. Maybe a Vogue interview.
- [31:12]
B
Yeah. Or like she's paparazzi and wearing a necklace that says like, you know, David.
- [31:16]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [31:17]
B
Is it a boy or a girl?
- [31:19]
A
We don't know. Third child.
- [31:23]
B
Oh. So, yeah, she's really keeping it under wraps.
- [31:27]
A
Anyways. Mazel tov.
- [31:29]
B
Mazel tov. It's nice.
- [31:31]
A
Are you ready for our third story? I hate to take us back here, but a new development in the Blake Lively Baldoni saga is that Blake Lively is now facing a seven million dollar defamation lawsuit from the crisis publicist that she claims weaponized a digital army against her. And this is also important because, like, that Astroturf situation is very much a cornerstone of our opinion on this matter.
- [31:56]
B
And which publicist is suing him?
- [31:59]
A
Jed Wallace of the Texas based crisis management firm Street Relations.
- [32:04]
B
So is this the company they were alleging facilitated the astroturfing?
- [32:07]
A
Yes, he is suing her, alleging defamation. This comes after she filed the petition on January 21st requesting a deposition from Wallace, which was then rescinded Tuesday according to Wallace's lawsuit. So Her PR team claimed that he weaponized a digital army around the country from New York to la to create seed and promote content that appeared to be authentic on social media platforms and Internet chat forums. Now his lawyers are claiming in a new lawsuit that her petition conceded that Lively has no facts supporting the allegations she made against Wallace and Street in the precursor, which made headlines around the world as she now, apparently under the threat of sanctions from one of the plaintiffs attorneys, sought to investigate the scope of Mr. Wallace's conduct. So now this part is even up for debate.
- [32:51]
B
Right. And I can't imagine why this guy would throw his. First of all, because I, we talk about the astroturfing all the time. Actually didn't know the name of the company or the guy who she was alleging who did it, but now we do. So if you're going to throw your hat in the race and like your name out there in public, like, you really must feel like you've been wronged. Yeah, because he was living like kind of a par. Anonymous part of this. Like, I'm sure some of the people who are like, you know, reading every document that comes out know his name, but for the most part, like it's been, you know, Justin Blake, Ryan, maybe some of the publicists, Melissa Nathan, Jennifer Abel Jones, works pr. But I hadn't heard. So now we know. And it's like, well, you must, you must have something to prove, sir.
- [33:32]
A
So this will be big in terms of what happens here, just in terms of how we perceive this case, but also just everyone slinging these lawsuits around, like she filed against him. So then he file against her and he's deposed. Like, it's very confusing.
- [33:46]
B
It is. And I just, I had read an article yesterday that with Justin Baldoni's case, it's possible that Taylor Swift will be deposed.
- [33:53]
A
I saw that.
- [33:54]
B
Which would be so crazy because depositions are public filings, like you can watch them.
- [33:59]
A
Yeah, I saw that also. Yeah, Taylor's a little bit included here too.
- [34:04]
B
And from one meeting.
- [34:06]
A
From the meeting. But don't forget the song and.
- [34:09]
B
Yeah, but the song, like she like.
- [34:11]
A
Took over with the soundtrack is what I was seeing.
- [34:14]
B
Is that what Justin's saying?
- [34:16]
A
I don't know who's saying.
- [34:17]
B
I, I Right.
- [34:18]
A
I don't know who's saying.
- [34:20]
B
So I think any chance of people thinking that Blake would show up at the super bowl with Taylor is pretty much kaput now. And then Miles Teller was saying he was interviewed on some like, dreadful late night show about the Super Bowl. It sounds like he might Be with.
- [34:33]
A
Taylor because of Kelly.
- [34:36]
B
Well. And he's the biggest Eagles fan, so he would be going to the super bowl anyway. Yeah.
- [34:39]
A
But, like, would he want to sit in a chief's box?
- [34:41]
B
That's what they were asking him. Like, you know, how do you stay true to yourself. Yeah. In a situation like that.
- [34:48]
A
But Kylie, I don't know if. I mean, half the family are Eagles fans.
- [34:51]
B
Yes. So I don't. That's true. Actually, Jason will be in that suite too, right.
- [34:55]
A
Yeah. And Kylie, who I actually think is a bigger Eagles fan than Jason, unless.
- [34:58]
B
Jason's actually working the game because he is, like, an emcee or broadcast or.
- [35:01]
A
Whatever the word is, that stinks for him.
- [35:03]
B
But I have wondered about Taylor's friendship with Kelly. Like, they were really hot and strong, and then they kind of fizzled. So I'll be curious to see if she's there.
- [35:11]
A
Yeah. That will be a fun element of the Super Bowl.
- [35:15]
B
It is. That is a fun element of, like. And I feel like, depending on this. Well, no, like, what celebrities go. And I feel like the last couple of years, it's been so celeb heavy because it was Vegas, it was the Rams. Like, it's been a good couple of years for the Super Bowl. Now I think the Chiefs and the Eagles both have a lot of, like, famous fans. Bradley Cooper, Miles Teller, famously for the Eagles, Taylor and crew for the Chiefs. So Paul Rudd. Oh, weirdly, Cam for Modern Family is a huge Chiefs. No, he goes to every game. He's like one of the OG celebrity fans, so I'm sure they'll all be there. So it is a good, like, celebrity. Sometimes when, like, when you're thinking about, like, who you want to play in the super bowl from our pov, like, you have to think about, like, who's gonna bring the most celebrities.
- [35:55]
A
Yeah. But then the super bowl itself just brings celebrities.
- [35:58]
B
It does. It does. It does. For sure. Okay, so I was watching Tick Tock. There's, like, this guy on the street. He's, like, well known now. He just goes up and asks people, what do you do for a living? And then he ends up just, like, chatting with them. And so, yeah, he, like, attacks people, but then they're like, wait, you're the guy from Tick Tock. So it's whatever he stumbled upon, it's always in the West Village. I was watching one of his videos, and somebody, like, wouldn't stop for him, and it was Bradley Cooper.
- [36:22]
A
Do you think that those videos are planned at all?
- [36:26]
B
No, because Bradley Cooper was with her Daughter and kept walking like, he clearly was. Not that I shouldn't have posted it, like, for real. Like, first of all, like, the daughter was in it. And two, like, you. Bradley was like, sorry, no. Like, how you would. If somebody's in the street handing off flyers, you're like, no, thanks. He didn't get anything from it. So the guy just, like, went on to another person. But I was kind of shook to see. Sometimes they are staged. Like, there's that guy who walks around the apartment city. Yeah. And like, Drew Barrymore. Yeah, of course. Like, yeah, those are mostly. That's coordinated.
- [36:52]
A
Those are mostly staged, though. No, I guess I've only seen, like. I would say they're all staged, but yeah, like, you want to clean your house. How do you know that this person's even going to have a serial killer to look at or that the person.
- [37:03]
B
Coming to your home is not a serial killer?
- [37:05]
A
Right, right.
- [37:05]
B
Yeah. I would say that the. The. Like, the apartment ones are definitely mostly staged. But the guy in the street, he mostly talks to. No, like, not nobody. He's like regular folks hearing what they do for a living. If they love their job, what's the best part of your job? I love your outfit. Where does your confidence come from? You know, he asks, like, weird questions like that. And so it's usually just. Just folks, regular lay people.
- [37:23]
A
And that's different from the guy in L. A. Who, like, goes to people with nice cars and says, what do you do for a living? And then David Beck, Daniel Mack, says that he's a chef.
- [37:31]
B
So that's Daniel Mac. Yeah. He started out doing, like, really, I think totally authentic, not staged. Going up to people on, like, Rodeo Drive. He would not only go to L. A, he would go to, like, just, like, interesting places, like F1. He would, like, stand outside F1 and be like, who are you? Then he became so popular. I would say almost all of his videos are staged now. Because he'll go up to somebody, be like, I love your car. What do you do for a living? And they're like, want to see my house or my boat? And then he goes, like, spends the whole day, and he's like, getting drunk on a yacht. It's very funny. Now they're all. I would say, like, staged.
- [38:00]
A
And these are all separate people who do.
- [38:03]
B
They are all separate people. Correct. I know that the car guy's named Daniel, the house guy's named Caleb, and I don't know what, like, the guy who talks to regular people in the West Village is named.
- [38:13]
A
Got it.
- [38:13]
B
Cool.
- [38:14]
A
Cool.
- [38:14]
B
Yeah, it's an interesting format.
- [38:17]
A
Are you ready for our next story? Our fourth story?
- [38:20]
B
Is it our fourth story that's brought to you by the farmer's dog? It is so healthy habits don't just apply to human beings. Give your dog a fresh start too. The farmer's dog makes feeding real, healthy dog food easy and convenient and your dog will absolutely love it. The pre portioned meals are personalized to your dog's needs, which makes it simple to help your dog reach and maintain a healthy weight. If you've ever thought about making the switch, now is the time. I think like feeding your dog, like really processed dry kibble is like so a thing of the past, very not RFK approved. And so many people are switching to fresh, healthy dog food and the farmer's dog was kind of the first to do it and they've been crushing it ever since. What? It gets delivered right to your door. So easy. Par g. No lifting, you know, bags at the store. But also their ingredients are really pargy. They're made to human like health, safety and standards and they're tailored to your dog's needs. So you'll take like a little quiz finding, figuring out different things about your dog. The breed, their weight, their age. The food is nutritionally complete for dogs at all life stages, including puppies. So it's basically just real healthy food designed to meet their unique nutritional needs. The food is pre portioned specifically for your dog, so that helps them maintain their ideal weight, which can be a huge indicator for health. Like Jackie and I both have cavaliers and they actually can't be overweight because they have, you know, this predisposed general heart condition.

Our next story is a bit of viral news that Claudia sent my way this morning because an American woman in Pakistan is baffling the Internet as she refuses to leave after her planned marriage to a teenager fell apart. I hate when that happens.
- [41:49]
B
Let me, let me tell you about this because what's so great about this, not only is it viral news, it's global news and it's bringing the world together. And I have to shout out the media in Pakistan who like saw this happening and have made this such a moment. So this woman is from New York. What's her name? I'm sorry, I can never remember.
- [42:05]
A
Onija Andrew Robinson. She's 32.
- [42:09]
B
She's 32. She's from New York. She's a mother of four and she met someone online from Pakistan and they struck up some sort of friendship, relationship, what have you. She decided to fly to Pakistan to meet him and to marry him. And upon her arrival, she goes to his house. This is in October. She goes to his house. She's on a 14 day visa, which has obviously since expired. She goes to his house, she meets his family and the f. Family's like, no, he's 19. You're a 32 year old mother of four from New York. No. And he breaks up with her and that should be the end of it, right? No. She decides to camp outside his house at first, I think in protest to them breaking up and it's somewhat of a romantic move, but then she starts to spend time in Pakistan. I think she really falls in love with the people, the culture, the food, the place. And she sees a lot of corruption, as you would in any organized, civilized society. And she is feeling upset that, you know, the, you know, bus routes are underfunded and the buildings aren't as good as they should be. And she's decided to take on like more of a leadership role with all the media attention coming her way for, you know, standing outside of her lover's door. She begins to hold daily press conferences outside of this man's house. I mean, not even so much about the man anymore, more so about how to make Pakistan great again. And the, the press conferences are so funny. She is hysterical. She's claiming to be Muslim. She is not. She is so outrageous. She's demanding first 20,000, then 100,000, now US$500,000 from the government to help make Pakistan great again. She's like, what are you doing? Seriously? Like, we, we outsource to all these different countries. Like, let's outsource to Pakistan. They need us. She said the people are amazing, the food is amazing, that they need our help. And more and more Pakistani media come to the. Come to her house. Well, not her house.
- [44:05]
A
Her boyfriend. Ex.
- [44:07]
B
Yeah, and by the way, her ex at X, whatever and his family have fled the country. Like, they want no part of this. They had no idea what their son was getting into. But she's become really this, this sort of viral moment, but also a voice of Pakistan. Now this story does take a bit of a sad turn because somebody who is alleging to be her son in America is like, this isn't funny. My mom has like bipolar personality disorder. Like, we need to get her home. The woman will not go home. She has turned down so Many flights. They literally keep trying to put, I don't know who, it's like the people of Pakistan, they kind of want her to say, but like the officials want her out. People in America want her out. They keep buying her flights. She's not going to the airport. Like she will not leave. She's also breaking the law because she's on a 14 day visa that started in October.
- [44:51]
A
Right.
- [44:52]
B
She will not be deterred, this woman from her passion, which at once was her 19 year old boyfriend, but is now the people of Pakistan and more so the infrastructure, if you will, of Pakistan because she's seeing it, you know, with a fresh eye.
- [45:05]
A
Yeah. So what's her long term plan? Citizenship?
- [45:10]
B
I don't know. There's a movement, I'm sure there's a movement within Pakistan to get her citizenship to perhaps run for some sort of leadership role. I'm not sure. All I know is that the people in Pakistan have decided to take this woman under their wing. They love her so much. She is so funny. Like she's just a real character. Her, so many of her like different press conference moments have gone viral. Of course. She's hilarious. And it's truly the strangest turn of events. If it does turn out that the guy who is pretending, well, not saying, who's saying he's her son, is like telling the truth about her mental health, then it's sad. But for now I'm still having fun.
- [45:48]
A
Yeah, that sounds, that sounds fun for the Internet and it's beautiful to see.
- [45:54]
B
American and Pakistani media working together.
- [45:57]
A
Yes. But it also just sounds like she wants money in her pockets.
- [46:00]
B
She says, okay, so what she had said, she was actually really transparent, which I think we, we don't expect from leaders. But she had said, listen, I want a hundred thousand, 20 of it's going in my pocket. Listen, she can't do this for free. She doesn't have anywhere to live. She's standing. So she, at least she's being honest with us about the funds. She said 20,000 going into my pocket, like just no questions asked. But the rest is going to the buses and the buildings and the streets and the people.
- [46:24]
A
Okay.
- [46:25]
B
Yeah, she's hilarious. I have to send you some of the press conferences, Jackie. The sheer volume of reporters, the microphones in her face, it looks like the O.J. simpson trial. Like so you ever, like, see when you, when you remember that trial, like so many people like shoving microphones. There must be 30 microphones in her face at once and she is answering every single question.
- [46:43]
A
Well, we'll keep you posted on what's next.
- [46:46]
B
Yeah, I do feel like deportation is next, to be honest. She is breaking the law. She's.
- [46:51]
A
If they want her out of there, they can just deport her.
- [46:53]
B
I think the officials do want her out of there. The media is loving it.
- [46:56]
A
But she's also like shining a spotlight on their dereliction of duty. So of course the officials want her out of there.
- [47:02]
B
It's true. And Pakistan hasn't had this viral of a moment on Tik Tok since. To sacrifice my own life for Pakistan.
- [47:08]
A
Right. So they think that.
- [47:10]
B
Yeah. And I think this is maybe better. I don't know.
- [47:13]
A
I think so. I think it's better.
- [47:16]
B
I really wish everybody in this story, I wish them well. I wish peace for the family of the 19 year old boy who got themselves like, you know, they haven't known a moment's peace since this lady showed up in October. They have literally fled the country. I'm wishing them well. I'm wishing her well. If she is, you know, struggling with her mental health, obviously that's sad. But she's brought joy to millions and that's not sad.
- [47:34]
A
No. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Switching gears as we head into our Real Housewives a recap.
- [47:41]
B
Housewives, because, sorry, I didn't watch the Real Housewives. Did I not tell you that?
- [47:46]
A
No, you didn't.
- [47:47]
B
No, I just thought like, like this week was kind of a wash after I didn't do it yesterday. And like I'll watch two next week. I'll catch you on the next one.
- [47:54]
A
Okay, I'm sorry. Well, our fifth and final story, Housewives related. But Rebecca Minkoff confirms.
- [48:00]
B
Oh yes.
- [48:00]
A
That she is not returning surveill Housewives of New York after her one season. So the friend of the cast confirmed her exit from the Bravo show via Instagram on Tuesday amid speculation that she was on her way out. She posted to her Instagram saying 2025 is a new beginning for me. And with current events in the world, I'm being reminded the importance of family, friends and community now more than ever.
- [48:21]
B
What do current events have to do with it?
- [48:23]
A
I don't know.
- [48:23]
B
People can't just like quit, like, just, just quit.
- [48:25]
A
Like, and it's like you don't need.
- [48:26]
B
To bring in the events.
- [48:27]
A
Family, friends and community were important six months ago, a year ago.
- [48:33]
B
No, like I, I hate like this. Like, just either. You don't have to tell us, by the way. Like, I wouldn't be confused if you told me you were leaving. I wouldn't it's not like the best, most amazing show with the most wonderful opportunity, like you could leave. It's okay. Yeah.
- [48:45]
A
She shared her intentions to focus on her family and her career. As much as I have learned along the way with the franchise and fans, I wanted to reprioritize what that what means the most to me. Designing, giving back, supporting women and raising my family. This is like such a flop.
- [48:59]
B
Yeah. No, I actually think her entire journey on this show would be considered a flop one because the show isn't particularly good. And I think her joining was like a bit of a step down for her, like, based on who she is in New York, she has this huge business and I know all the ladies were like making fun of her bags like that they're ugly and sell at Marshalls. But, like, that's how you get rich. Like, she's really. She's legit. Like, say what you want. She's up there with Jenna Lyons, like, for sure. So I do think overall, like, she will look back on this time and be like, that wasn't a good move because the show flopped. She didn't really particularly make any waves. And then she left with this weird statement.
- [49:32]
A
No. And to be one season wonder friend of never made it all the way. Like, that's just not what you're looking like seeking out when you sign on to the show.
- [49:43]
B
And I do really wonder, like, what the impetus behind her joining the show was like, to what end. She doesn't need money. Perhaps it was like a little bit more personal fame. Like, everybody knows the brand. Rebecca Minkoff, maybe they don't know Rebecca.
- [49:53]
A
Yeah, probably personal fame and just like, that's good for your business and rising tides raise all sides. And it's been really good for a lot of women who 1 came on successful or 2 created success for themselves, like Bethany, but also like, even like Lisa Rinna, Kathy Hilton, like all of those women who were famous before had like long careers on Housewives. Even though Lisa Rinna is not on the show anymore.
- [50:16]
B
Like, it was good for Lisa a thousand percent. So Bryn is leaving. I don't believe this will be the last person we hear from, whether it comes to, like getting fired or leaving. But now we've lost Bryn and Rebecca. I don't know where the show goes from here. I didn't. I don't entirely disagree with them rebooting this particular franchise, but they rebooted it badly. Badly.
- [50:44]
A
I think it could be done in a better way.
- [50:46]
B
I think that if we. If we are to keep two of that if we are to keep anyone from this franchise, and I don't think that we need to. I think it's okay to start again. I would keep Aaron, and I would keep Psy, Maybe Uber.
- [50:59]
A
That feels right, based on what I've seen.
- [51:02]
B
Yeah. So just, like, big L for Rebecca. Yeah, that's really weird. Like, not the community.
- [51:14]
A
Okay. I guess that's our show.
- [51:17]
B
Yeah. Also, except I wanted to say one more thing. Abe Leachy was on the Dumois podcast. I saw a clip of it basically being like, yeah, we know. We know a couple of people, like, who are leaving. We don't know what's up with the show. And I guess he was talking about Rebecca, Rebecca Binkoff. But then it reminded me I saw a clip today. So Dave Portoi recorded the Dumas podcast.
- [51:33]
A
Okay.
- [51:33]
B
And it will not be airing because he said, like, it was 30 minutes of airing him screaming at her.
- [51:40]
A
What?
- [51:40]
B
And I guess, like, she had asked. Maybe she does. I've never been on her podcast. I think she asks all of her guests to sign an NDA so they can record via zoom. And, like, she can see them, but not, you know, sacrifice her identity. And he was like, no. So they just recorded, like, blind Zoom. Like, no, without video. And he was just going on and on about how she's a coward and she posts, publishes lies about him, her friends, his friends, anyone he knows. Says, like, really kind of saying all the things you would want, like, a celebrity would want to say. To Dumont. He was like, we were screaming at each other for 30 minutes and it's not going anywhere. And he was like, I wish she would publish it.
- [52:12]
A
I wish she would publish it, too. That sounds so interesting.
- [52:15]
B
I know. He did a guest spot on BFFs. Literally the only people making news at the Super Bowl. BFF spot recorded a Super bowl episode. And Dave rejoined. You know he left the podcast.
- [52:25]
A
Yes, I do know.
- [52:26]
B
But he made a grand return. And he told this story, and I thought it was so interesting.
- [52:29]
A
That is so interesting. And she was yelling at him, too.
- [52:32]
B
I think, like, he said we were yelling at each other. I'm sure it was, like, probably mostly him.
- [52:35]
A
And did he come on the show to yell at her?
- [52:38]
B
I don't know why he, like, agreed to the booking.
- [52:40]
A
And was it going well? Turn because of the NDA thing. And he wanted to just have a conversation and see her, and then that made him mad, like, because I guess it is a little maddening.
- [52:50]
B
I think the NDA thing was probably, like, something that pissed him off. That like, when the argument came up, he just, like, withdrew from his arsenal. But I think, I would imagine he did not commit to the interview in good faith. He was like, oh, I have an opportunity to yell at Dumois. Like, let's do it. I think he has, like, a long standing hatred for her.
- [53:05]
A
Wouldn't she know that when she reaches out to him?
- [53:09]
B
Listen, it's hard to get a guest.
- [53:10]
A
Yeah.
- [53:11]
B
It's hard to book a guest in this. In this day and age.
- [53:13]
A
Oh, my goodness.
- [53:15]
B
Yeah, it was a really crazy story. I would love to hear they're off the edge meeting. Yeah, okay. He told the story. But release the tapes, Dumois. Release the tapes. Yeah, I thought you would enjoy that.
- [53:27]
A
Maybe she will maybe like, this actually will drum up. Like, this would be good for her because now everyone would listen.
- [53:33]
B
It's true. All press is good press. Well, that's our show, you guys. A nice NASAFI for you.
- [53:39]
