They sound amazing. Welcome back to the Toast and Happy Friday. That doesn't feel like a Friday because while it's the end of a chapter, it's the beginning of something. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Toast. I'm your hearse Hurst. I'm your host, Turny Lou, here for the final time in life as we currently know it. And I'm joined by a very pargy co host this morning. As you guys know, Jax was unavailable, and I said, don't worry, it's the perfect thing. It's a time for BSC on the toast. Hello, bsc. How you doing?

[Ben Soffer]

You never have to fear. I'm always waiting in the wings. Is it wings or wins? Wings.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wings.

[Ben Soffer]

Waiting in the wings.

[Claudia Oshry]

We know you're always just, like, creepily standing in the corner waiting for your time.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm always ready here. And I just want to say, because I don't think you get enough credit.

[Claudia Oshry]

I agree. I don't know what you're gonna say, but I agree that I'm never given.

[Ben Soffer]

Enough credit that you went an entire pregnancy doing the toast every day. Nobody really understands. Like, everybody thinks that hard, but. No, it is. Everybody thinks, like, oh, I can do it. I can talk. It's really hard. Especially with brains. Like, pregnancy brain. I have just, like, regular brain problems.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're gonna get into bed making my pregnancy about him, But I really appreciate the compliment.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, okay. And I take it back.

[Claudia Oshry]

I know. I'm glad you brought it up because I. If you would have told me that I would have made it through a whole pregnancy with only taking one show off. That day I woke up really sick and you filled in for me. I wouldn't have believed you. So, yeah, I agree. I'm a hero. I'm an amazing business person and media mogul. And I agree with everything you said.

[Ben Soffer]

Kudos to you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Thank you.

[Ben Soffer]

Now, how am I making pregnancy about myself?

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, my God. Like, literally every time I have an ailment, you're like, oh, my God, me too.

[Ben Soffer]

By the way. I do. What? Should I lie?

[Claudia Oshry]

No. You're like, my back is killing me.

[Ben Soffer]

It is killing me.

[Claudia Oshry]

Your back?

[Ben Soffer]

No, yours is definitely. See, let's normalize. Two people having problems. You. Your back can hurt more than mine. But if you say, oh, my back hurts, that reminds me. Oh, you know, I need to go see stretched.

[Claudia Oshry]

So how do you think it makes.

[Ben Soffer]

Me go get stretched?

[Claudia Oshry]

How do you think it makes me feel to hear you complaining about your back problems?

[Ben Soffer]

I think it's fine because I'm rubbing your back and I'm actively making you feel better. Are you rubbing my back?

[Claudia Oshry]

You don't need it. Say every time I have like, I'm like, when Ben looks me like, oh, I'm having bad heartburn. I'm like, you're having heartburn.

[Ben Soffer]

All I want to say. Okay. All I want to say. This is your first like real stint with heartburn, right?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. I've never had like chronic issues with heartburn. And anyone who suffers outside of pregnancy with like every day, you have my utmost sympathy. Except like you can do something about like you can, you can take real medication.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. Any of your morbidly obese listeners. I. One of them, yes, for the vast majority of my life. Well, maybe a little bit less morbid now, but who. It's still morally obese. I had heartburn for so long. Terrible, terrible heartburn. When you're really fat, it's really bad. Really, really bad. And there are some people that aren't fat and still are predisposed to. There was that big claim, that big company, the one you said you could just take medication. There was one of those companies was giving people cancer. Nexapro. Next. A pro. Next. Something was. I'll, I'll send you the article.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, shout out to pepsid, which has single handedly got me through this pregnancy. Yes. I feel for people who have like all these new things that I didn't have. I know people have really bad heartburn outside of pregnancy. People have back problems outside of pregnancy. It's all hitting me in the last nine months. And so people who suffer from it all the time, like, you have my utmost sympathy and respect. But like that doesn't mean like what I'm going through isn't valid.

[Ben Soffer]

Of course. No, it's relatable.

[Claudia Oshry]

Now you've been very busy, Ben. We haven't actually had you on the toast in a while. You're being obviously an amazing husband, which is a full time job these days. You're being.

[Ben Soffer]

It is.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're being a full time Nick fan.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

Which is also a full time job.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're obviously entrepreneur, podcast host, you know, celebrity chef. How is Ben?

[Ben Soffer]

Ben is wonderful.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

Ben is excited.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

Ben is going to be a father of a son. Bhbh. Bh, bhbh, bhbh. And the podcast is wonderful. Speaking of bh. Like, literally the fact that I have Christian morons walking up to me in the street saying, bh.

[Claudia Oshry]

Christian morons walking up to me. If somebody is new here and they don't understand, like, what you're talking about. Ben and his co host Josh have like a couple of maybe like a year ago decided that how we call you guys, like the Toasters. If you listen to the Toaster. Toaster. If you listen to his podcast, the Good Guys, he gave themselves the title of you are. So you guys. People come up to us in the street. They're like, I'm a. I'm like, okay.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. And they literally like, the morons. The fans of the Good Guys podcast will walk up to me and say, ben, bh. Bh. I'm from Alabama. Bh. I'm like, that is unbelievable. I'm going to be a dad.

[Claudia Oshry]

The Knicks are in.

[Ben Soffer]

The Knicks. I know, but I don't even. I don't know how I feel.

[Claudia Oshry]

So I wanted to update everybody from yesterday's show. We did get tickets.

[Ben Soffer]

We did.

[Claudia Oshry]

At this rate, I just want to let you know, I'm not going. Like, I do not feel good.

[Ben Soffer]

But who's gonna buy that ticket? I spent so much money on tickets.

[Claudia Oshry]

And the fact that anybody ever clowned on, like, girls spending money on the ERAS tour, when this is what a basketball game costs, which is seriously, like, half the amount of time. Yeah, half is interesting. Yeah. Is absurd to me because we spent more on Nick's tickets than I for, like, my best ERA source.

[Ben Soffer]

So let me explain. Taylor Swift does not come. First of all, I've never, ever clowned on you spending money on anything concert related.

[Claudia Oshry]

I didn't say you. I'm just saying society.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay, sure, whatever. Society's dumb and poor. So I think that Taylor Swift does not come around once every 30 years. I want to set the record here. This is the greatest Knicks team. The best chance that the Knicks have of winning a championship.

[Claudia Oshry]

In your lifetime.

[Ben Soffer]

In my lifetime. Like, let that sink in.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's how a lot of people feel about Taylor Swift, though. Just.

[Ben Soffer]

But I've been to Taylor Swift, 1989. I've been to Taylor Swift, Red. I've been to Taylor.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're not a Taylor Swift, Red.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, I was with you. I don't know. I was at. Maybe I went alone. I went to. I went to Taylor Swift. Yeah. Is that the one with all the snakes?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes. Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

That one was dark.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. You went to reputation 1989 and eras.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes. The Knicks. These kids. Honestly, I Guess it's happened every couple of years. Three years ago, I went on the road in Cleveland. Do the toasters know that story? Yes, they do. When I flew private with a bunch of Hasidic Jews home.

[Claudia Oshry]

I believe I've told the story. Whenever I'm talking about Ben's, like, amazing ability to network and you're just sort of like, born under this. Like. Like these things happen to you that don't happen to other people. Ben flew to Cleveland for, like a next game. He didn't have a flight home. He's like, I'll figure it out. I'll get a hotel.

[Ben Soffer]

Should I tell the story?

[Claudia Oshry]

Sure.

[Ben Soffer]

Please.

[Claudia Oshry]

I mean, I was in the middle of it. But you're okay.

[Ben Soffer]

I mean, you were speeding through it. There's some drama to it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, okay, fine. Oh, my God, it's gonna be like.

[Ben Soffer]

A three hour episode. No, I'll be quick. I go to Cleveland, Game 6, Knicks Cavs. I again feel the way that I feel right now, which is like, this is the best chance the Knicks have. I have to go.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right? Okay. So the feeling you were describing before, it's not once in a lifetime.

[Ben Soffer]

I guess not. I guess not. I guess it's twice in a lifetime. My friend Michael Cohen calls me. Not Trump's lawyer. A different Michael Cohen calls me and says, then I have an extra seat.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wow. See, another thing that doesn't happen to other people. Like the biggest game of the year and someone.

[Ben Soffer]

By the way, by the way, it does happen to other people. If you're not a piece of shit.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, no.

[Ben Soffer]

Like if you put good energy out into the world, if you invite people to Knicks games. I'm just saying if you take. Take people to dinner, then somebody will think of you. But if you're sitting there thinking, why doesn't anybody do anything for me? When you don't do anything for them, then, no, that's not gonna happen. The universe, it's called karma. Whatever.

[Claudia Oshry]

Get to the point of story, please.

[Ben Soffer]

She invites me. I go to Cleveland. Okay? I. I have a hotel. I'm ready to sleep in the hotel, but I don't book a flight. I said to Claude, you know, there are going to be enough Nick people that I know at this game that I'm going to find. Someone needs to fly private home.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, Ben, just like sort of put it out there. I was like, okay, good luck. Sure, Jan.

[Ben Soffer]

I was like, somebody needs to be there. And I thought, I thought it was. I used to work for Gary Vaynerchuk. I thought it was Gary I see Gary on the court. I go up to him after the game. I'm like, gary, what's going on? He's like, ben, good to see you. I'm like, how are you getting home? He's like, oh, I. I have my plane, but we're full. I'm like, oh, okay. And I was like, okay, this is not gonna happen.

[Claudia Oshry]

You almost got it.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm exiting the stadium, I'm walking out. All of a sudden, I get tapped on the shoulder by two Hasidic Jews, black cat pais. The whole. The whole nine work up. And they're like, you know, we're really big fans. Our wife's. Our wives are really big fans of Claudia. Can we please get a picture? I'm like, oh, my God, yes. Never in my life did I see what was about to happen. They're like, how are you getting home? Like, you're kidding me. They're like, we have a jet outside if you want to come. I'm like, this is. I mean, if that's not Hashem.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

Sending you a signal. So I met, literally, a life, a lifelong friend.

[Claudia Oshry]

Of course.

[Ben Soffer]

Ben and him are Nashi Newman. He's the best. His wife is the best. Big toaster. So hopefully they hear this, went home with them, flew into Teterboro, was home by 1. Michael Cohen's like, how the hell did you swing that? I'm like, I don't know.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wait, you didn't take Michael Cohen with you?

[Ben Soffer]

No, I did. No, he's like, how did you swing.

[Claudia Oshry]

This seat for Michael Collins?

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, he came home. I was, by the way. And this is karma, too. I would never, ever, ever fly private home and leave the person who gave me a free ticket.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right, right.

[Ben Soffer]

I would. I would have walked home with him.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

I got him a seat. So that was Nick's Cavs last year. You agreed to go with me to Philly.

[Claudia Oshry]

I did. I drove to Philly. I'm such an amazing wife.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, how sick was that game, though?

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't remember the game being, like sick. I just remember, like, I was really skinny and we had really good seats.

[Ben Soffer]

We had really good seats. The Knicks won. Whenever we go, me and you. The Knicks win. Hopefully I didn't jinx us for tonight. Tonight we spent.

[Claudia Oshry]

Don't say please.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm more money.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm embarrassed than.

[Ben Soffer]

On those two combined.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. No, it's insane. What, like grown men will spend on a 90 minute game.

[Ben Soffer]

So this is game six of seven. It's a big game. It's a big Game move.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

Big game. If they lose this game, I'm just letting you know they're gonna lose the series.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, obviously.

[Ben Soffer]

And as much as I love Dave Portnoy, if I see one more Dave Portnoy rant talking about how the Knicks and the Celtics are great. Yeah, I'm gonna kill myself.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, we are going. As of this moment, obviously. Just need to take a nap and, like, relax a little bit first. And you know what, Ben? What will be, will be. You know what the Lord wants for the Knicks? The Lord will make happen what will be will be.

[Ben Soffer]

But the Brunson boys.

[Claudia Oshry]

How do the Brunson Boys feel? I've been meaning to ask you that.

[Ben Soffer]

The Brunson Boys are feeling we blew up their spot.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, everybody's talking about them on social media.

[Ben Soffer]

I thought you meant about the game, the Brunson boys. But the game are cautiously optimistic. No, I don't care about the publicity.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, about, like, us blowing up their spot.

[Ben Soffer]

I think. I think the Brunson Boys. Boys are feeling good.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, are they super private? Like, are they. They, like.

[Ben Soffer]

No, there's really no issues.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay. Okay.

[Ben Soffer]

There's no issues. Gabe will send me, like, a clip.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right? Right.

[Ben Soffer]

I think you, like, call this gay or something now.

[Claudia Oshry]

I would never. I would never. I didn't say that.

[Ben Soffer]

But Gabe sent me a clip, and he's just like. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, he's excited about his newfound stardom.

[Ben Soffer]

He loves it. He's like, they're talking about us.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right? Right.

[Ben Soffer]

Jack's like, they're talking about us. Victor's like, they're talking about us. That's the. That's the group. They're my friends from high school, my closest friends. And that's the Brunson Boys. And the second that Jalen Brunson rose the ranks, people don't understand. Like, we are watching if he can win some championships, we're watching, like, a young Kobe. This guy is so freaking clutch.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's kind of crazy, though, because he's, like, a short king.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, he's not that short. He's six two.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay. But, like, compared to the other players, he looks like he's Jewish.

[Ben Soffer]

He's right, Ally.

[Claudia Oshry]

I was talking about this on the toast and then the baby, right?

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. Yeah. I sat next to Ali at that Cleveland game, too.

[Claudia Oshry]

It sounds like that night was sort of like a magical night for you.

[Ben Soffer]

It really was. You should have been there.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I really shouldn't have.

[Ben Soffer]

That said, we wouldn't have flown Private home.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I was gonna say, had I known we were. You were flying home private. Like, maybe I would have come.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Ben is going to join me today for our final episode of the Toast. Today is my last day before my maternity. Maternity leave begins. As you guys know, next week, we are totally dark, except there will be new episodes dropping on Patreon daily. So make sure to head over to patreon.com toast and then the week after that begins official maternity leave content with Jackie Owen, Friends. She'll be in New York and in Florida, hosting, interviewing, the talk of the town, the creme de la creme. But for today, Ben is subbing in for Jackie. We're going to do the fast five. We're obviously doing Queenie and Weenie. I know you prepared yours, right.

[Ben Soffer]

Beat the crunch.

[Claudia Oshry]

We don't do beat the crunch.

[Ben Soffer]

But we do.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Ben Soffer]

We do it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay. Okay. So without further ado, do do. Here are the fast five stories that you need to know.

[Ben Soffer]

Before you take a bite.

[Claudia Oshry]

And then I don't do that anymore.

[Ben Soffer]

But that's where the be the.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, that's how we don't do that anymore. I was letting you do it. I'll do it. Here are the best five stories that you need to know before you take a bite.

[Ben Soffer]

What is it?

[Claudia Oshry]

What Are you okay?

[Ben Soffer]

No, this is not the way that.

[Claudia Oshry]

We don't do that anymore.

[Ben Soffer]

I know, but the Beat the crunch. Okay, so do it again.

[Claudia Oshry]

I gave you two chances. I gave you two chances. You didn't beat the crunch. Today's episode is brought to you by skims, which is partly because I am wearing skims maternity pants. So skims, you know, they're known for their bras and underwear. They are really the best intimates we've ever owned. My top drawer has slowly become all skims over the last couple of years, but specifically these last couple of months, because every bra and underwear that I buy, I immediately grow out of. So I'm really particular about my intimates these days. Obviously, my breasts are getting larger. My needs for underwear are just getting different, and intimates are really the unsung hero of every single outfit. Nobody does it. Like, skims obsessed is an understatement. And then every time I, like, need a new category of stuff and I find out that skims carries it, I'll automatically like. I just trust them so much. So when I need a maternity clothes, like these really cute yoga pants, I just went to skims and automatically bought a bunch of stuff. Like, they have my eternal trust now. I think why everybody loves skims is, like, how versatile they are, especially in terms of sizing. So if you're looking for a bra, I think they offer like 62 sizes, which is insane. Most stores like literally all for four. And everybody knows like finding the right bra is all about finding the right size. So Skims is going to help you do that. They're gonna really make you feel comfortable. I love the Fits everybody collection. Ben calls them my relaxation bras. They're super stretchy, super comfortable, super supportive. I can't just like go without a bra these days, so I need something to wear like inside. So shop skims and their best intimates including the Fits everybody collection and [e-mail] after you place your order, be sure to let them know that we sent you select podcast in the survey. Be sure to select the toast in the drop down menu that follows. And that's all you got to do. Shop Skims. They also have a new flagship store in New York City which is kind of pargy. You should check it out. But if it's everybody collection, which is the collection I was talking about, you can shop [e-mail] Today's episode is also brought to you by Vivrel. Vivrel is the first of its kind luxury accessories members only club providing access to borrow designer handbags, jewelry, watches and diamonds. So Vivo members can cheat the verval closet like their own and they can borrow anything within their tier. Virelle has no return dates. Members can swap items once per month, keep items for as long as they'd like. So I know a lot of you guys do clothing rentals and you guys love it. And Vivrel is a similar concept where they have like a huge array of like designer bags, designer jewelry, designer accessories, and like actual designers. Like they have like Chanel bags, Prada bags, really sick bags, current bags, and you can borrow them for however long you like. I've literally been borrowing a Chanel bag for them for a couple of months. They have the best bags. And also obviously like Jackie and I love investing in bags, but honestly you don't want to buy every single bag because one, like, who has the money? Two, who has the space? And three, sometimes you buy a bag and then like a year later it's like not cool anymore and you spent all this money and just feel stupid. So it's a great way to like test run a bag. If you've been thinking about buying it, borrow it from Vivrel, see if you wear it, see if you like it, take some pictures in it. And once you take a picture in it. Like you really don't need to buy the bag, so you could just like return it to the Verel and get something new. Also, don't sleep on their jewelry. They literally have like the nicest jewelry. They carry Van Cleef like it's insane. Membership starts at 45amonth. So like you're literally getting van Cleef for 45 and you can use our code Toast.

[Ben Soffer]

Wonderful.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, you breathe.

[Ben Soffer]

I. I'll talk for a little.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Ben Soffer]

That was. That was excellent. So, you guys, those are excellent sponsors.

[Claudia Oshry]

We've been talking on the toast recently about how, like, obviously, obviously, I can't breathe when I do the ads and everybody. Jackie, you should do them.

[Ben Soffer]

I would have done them.

[Claudia Oshry]

The thing is, is I'm too much of a control freak. And you're. Jackie likes to go over the 92nd. Oh, right. Thank you. Then you do the ads on Good Guys, right?

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And you know the importance of keeping the time.

[Ben Soffer]

The thing is, what you do is much harder. It's hard to keep the time when you're live. Of course, I do them pre recorded. So honestly, if I go to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Down to a minute. Chop it down a minute 30. But all that I'll say quickly. Square. Wonderful. Proudly used by Bruce Offer at his cafe. He loves. He loves it.

[Claudia Oshry]

I.

[Ben Soffer]

Easy peasy.

[Claudia Oshry]

I also. Today I'm choosing the stories and reading the stories. So breath work is going to be super important.

[Ben Soffer]

I'll just talk.

[Claudia Oshry]

And also, I want to let you guys know, I currently have four stories.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. I have a fifth story.

[Claudia Oshry]

You do? It's selfish, but what's For Society? Available nationwide at Target.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, it is. And it's Friday, baby. Go out there and shop locally. Wherever. Wherever you. Wherever your Target sells wine, people love. They're coming.

[Claudia Oshry]

So is that the first story?

[Ben Soffer]

Ben, it's not New Jersey. Yeah, because your Target doesn't sell wine. I can't change jurisdiction. It's wherever it sells wine. Go on sportssociety.com. go to the store.

[Claudia Oshry]

Located jurisdiction. You guys.

[Ben Soffer]

I can't unless you guys. By the way, we could lobby.

[Claudia Oshry]

Would you say that's one of the most common misconceptions about you that I can't change? People think you can change jurisdiction, but they do.

[Ben Soffer]

It's like, I can get private planes with Hasid.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's true.

[Ben Soffer]

But I can't get changed jurisdictions.

[Claudia Oshry]

Not yet.

[Ben Soffer]

Not yet. If I wanted to manifest it, I'm not wasting my manifestation powers on changing the liquor. Jersey.

[Claudia Oshry]

Jersey?

[Ben Soffer]

What are you nuts?

[Claudia Oshry]

Ben, what do you want most in this world?

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, my. I want a healthy son.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, that's a good answer.

[Ben Soffer]

And a loving family forever. And just like, more of the same. I'm telling you, like, I really don't want for anything.

[Claudia Oshry]

I know. I feel the same Way.

[Ben Soffer]

And the more that I don't want for anything. Bh more things come. It's almost like a cheat code. It's almost like a cheaper.

[Claudia Oshry]

Pretend you don't want it.

[Ben Soffer]

Exactly. It comes.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, let's dive into our first story, which is about my girl Taylor Swift. I don't know if you've heard, but human remains have been found near her.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, I heard.

[Claudia Oshry]

Famous Rhode island mansion. And she did it amid growing fears that there's a New England serial killer. Oh, I like that take, by the way. So human remains were discovered down the road from her Rhode island mansion amid fear, said a New England serial killer. I guess, like, people have been conspiracy theorizing that there's a new serial killer on the loose in that region. And on Wednesday morning, police in Westerly Watch Hill, which is like, somewhere we need to go, found reports of possible remains. And then when officers arrived to the location, it's 0.3 miles from Swift's home. They located what appeared to be a human leg bone. I just want to say, like, this has nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

[Ben Soffer]

Nothing to do with the article is the.

[Claudia Oshry]

And the headlines are extremely misleading. People are like, this is so scary for Taylor. It's seven minutes from her house. They did a map on page six.

[Ben Soffer]

Which I appreciate how many bodies they probably find seven minutes from our house because of Tony Soprano.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, we started watching the Sopranos, and I don't know if I told you guys that I think I did.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm just saying their bodies buried everywhere.

[Claudia Oshry]

Then that's how I felt watching Yellowstone.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, how many people they killed, like.

[Ben Soffer]

Their bodies all over the city.

[Claudia Oshry]

That the city. It's hard to hide bodies.

[Ben Soffer]

Their bodies all in the Hudson. How many bodies do you think are in the Hudson? They claim, oh, it's cloudy. Yeah. Probably because the mobsters made it cloudy. So you can't find Art Buco's wife sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't think there's a lot of bodies in the Hudson. Like, if I was a person trying to get rid of a body, like, I would stay away from New York City.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. But then you learn they. They take these weights and they chain them to their ankles and they drop them to the bottom.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. But they don't do that in the Hudson. Like, random rivers.

[Ben Soffer]

And I think they're in the Hudson.

[Claudia Oshry]

Is, like, highly trafficked and policed.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, that's what they want you to think. I've never seen police in the Hudson.

[Claudia Oshry]

Can I just tell you guys, ever since we started watching the Sopranos, which Ben insists on calling the Sopranos. It is. Ben's been, like, acting different. I could tell. Like his little man. I'm. I think you're gonna start wearing tank tops.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, okay, no, I like that you call them tank tops. I'm not going to use the other insane. Okay, that's. It's insane that we still call them that. It's also insane to wear them. Sorry.

[Claudia Oshry]

Agreed. But I think, like, you're slow. We've only watched, like, a season and a half. You are slowly morphing into. You're just, like, picking up on random, like, mannerisms and stuff. I'm going to come home one day, and you're going to be wearing a tank top.

[Ben Soffer]

Little things, little things, little things being picked up. I love that show so much. Claudia doesn't love it yet.

[Claudia Oshry]

She likes it. I'm not, like, obsessed.

[Ben Soffer]

I just love that there is. There are, like, weirdly Jewish undertones while they're also being anti Semitic. And I actually don't think that the.

[Claudia Oshry]

Characters are anti Semitic.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. They.

[Claudia Oshry]

They have that one motel client.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm not anti Semitic, but, like, they obviously, like, they don't like Jews.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, that. That guy on the horse farm is, like, their best friend.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, he's a good boy.

[Claudia Oshry]

Hesh.

[Ben Soffer]

Whatever. They use derogatory terms. That was more what I was saying.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do they?

[Ben Soffer]

They do.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Ben Soffer]

They do, but against everybody. Like, that's just like, the culture. But then randomly, like, you see Tony Soprano say the word schnura, and you're like, what? Yeah, world. Who wrote this?

[Claudia Oshry]

I like how you just did a little whistle.

[Ben Soffer]

I don't know what that was.

[Claudia Oshry]

Your teeth.

[Ben Soffer]

I was going to avoid it.

[Claudia Oshry]

How did you do that?

[Ben Soffer]

I have no idea. I could never do it again. That was such a high pitch. I don't know. I don't know where it came from, but yeah. Hash.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, back to Taylor Swift. Do you think that Taylor Swift is the New England serial killer?

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

No one would suspect her.

[Ben Soffer]

No one would suspect her. She could be, like, big crime boss Tony. She isn't the actual killer, but, like, she has people under her that are doing her dirty work. And I think. I think, okay, that the person at the bottom of that river was the one who subpoenaed her.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, is one who knocked on her door and gave her the. The filing.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's a good theory. You think it's connected to the Blake Lively drama? It is. Well, people are, like, doing everything they can to blame everything that's wrong in this world on Blake Lively. So maybe, like, Lively is a serial killer.

[Ben Soffer]

Maybe it's Blake.

[Claudia Oshry]

Love that people are upset. Like, how are, like, fanatical about serial killers. This is, like, exciting for them. It doesn't do it for me, by the way.

[Ben Soffer]

There's nothing cool about serial killers.

[Claudia Oshry]

I couldn't agree more.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, can you back the off and stop killing people?

[Claudia Oshry]

Right. Like, it's not cool.

[Ben Soffer]

It's not cool at all.

[Claudia Oshry]

That was my friend.

[Ben Soffer]

No. You know, and she's dead.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

For nothing.

[Claudia Oshry]

We don't know if this was a man or woman. I just want to say, like, they're using Taylor Swift to get people to care about this story. But in actuality, it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

[Ben Soffer]

No. They'll do anything to put her name in the headline. This is the problem with the news. Okay, okay. Was this, Was this like a click out article?

[Claudia Oshry]

No, it was like a regular Page Six article.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

And I saw it everywhere also.

[Ben Soffer]

Shout out page six.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Ben Soffer]

Good peeps. I think so. But I'm just saying, like, the problem is that, like, you. You'll see this E News, Justin Baldoni, blah, blah, blah. Click here to learn more. You click, they get paid. And it's a whole bunch of nothing.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, it's a whole bunch of nothing. That's the problem with media and bureau.

[Ben Soffer]

This is what I'm saying. The pay per click is destroying media.

[Claudia Oshry]

The pay per click.

[Ben Soffer]

Pay per click.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, the pay per clip.

[Ben Soffer]

Pay per click.

[Claudia Oshry]

We also. We have to watch the final two episodes. Can we talk really quick?

[Ben Soffer]

Paul American.

[Claudia Oshry]

Paul American. And about how my healer Yiska.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

Was on the most recent episode.

[Ben Soffer]

Paul American is a fantastic show. And if you're not watching it, even if you're a hater, you'll still like it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes.

[Ben Soffer]

And you'll be. And you'll be turned. Like, you're probably like, hating Jake Paul because of what you see. And then you watch it and you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Realize, like, he's not. What. He's not what you think he is.

[Ben Soffer]

He's a healed man.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes. He's very deep and emotional and healed. I think that's the perfect word.

[Ben Soffer]

It's also like very like. Like there's like a little bit of, like some Gen Z undertones. Like, with this, like, mental health.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, he really. He's come a long way, a thousand percent. And then you have just, like, great family drama. It's. They're the perfect family for reality tv because you can just tell they're leaving nothing on the table.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Nothing okay, but what did you think of seeing Iska? Did you see the clip of her?

[Ben Soffer]

I didn't see the clip of her because we haven't seen that episode.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, but I showed you the clip that Beatrice said.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, you did? Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And what did you make of it?

[Ben Soffer]

No.

[Claudia Oshry]

Did you love when my healer came over? Obviously, you tried to poach my healer.

[Ben Soffer]

First of all, she's so nice. She would be a great healer for me. Okay. Second. Second of all, she loved. She just kept complimenting my chopping skills. She's like, oh, you're such a good.

[Claudia Oshry]

Ben was cooking me dinner while she. She was working on me, and she.

[Ben Soffer]

Was impressed, and she had to keep.

[Claudia Oshry]

Leaving the room so I could, like, change or whatever.

[Ben Soffer]

And so this kid just also had great energy.

[Claudia Oshry]

I completely agree.

[Ben Soffer]

The second I opened the door, Lovely woman.

[Claudia Oshry]

I knew, like, we were going to love her. And then when I was like, she left the bedroom to let me change and I heard you guys chatting, I'm like, oh, he's trying to poach my healer.

[Ben Soffer]

No, I need her because she also does massage. Right?

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, isn' but it's all prenatal. She does, like, prenatal massage, prenatal acupuncture.

[Ben Soffer]

Work through it.

[Claudia Oshry]

She's a doula.

[Ben Soffer]

We'll work through it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Are you. Are you jealous of, like, the healing journey that I've gone on in this last couple of months?

[Ben Soffer]

No, no. I'm just happy that you have taken to the East.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm happy that you have come to my side of things. As you guys side of the Eastern medicine.

[Claudia Oshry]

Ben is very much East, West, Central.

[Ben Soffer]

No, I'm east.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, you're fake East.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm east these days. Why am I fake East?

[Claudia Oshry]

You know what? Actually, I have noticed. I meant to bring this up to you. So many people, when they get pregnant, they have to quit things that they love, whether it's like alcohol or, like, turkey. For me, there really hasn't been, because a lot of, like, I don't miss alcohol. And although it did dawn on me yesterday, like, I'm getting really close to being able to have a cocktail. Like, I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself. But a lot of people struggle with, like, no sushi, no deli meat, and none of that stuff, like, I would eat normally. So I haven't had that. Where was it going with this story?

[Ben Soffer]

I'm not sure.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wait, what were we talking about before?

[Ben Soffer]

We were talking about my Eastern medicine.

[Claudia Oshry]

Journey, but something I actually really have struggled with is the inability to take Advil. Because I lived a life before this, like, run on Advil. I was fueled by Advil. And I've noticed you've taken a lot less Advil, too. A part of your. Like, you're being obsessed with me and copying everything.

[Ben Soffer]

I don't take any Advil. Let me tell you again. We were talking about heartburn. When you're fat, you need Advil. Like, it's really, really hard. Like, you're actually true. Your head hurts more because you're eating shit. Your body swollen. Let me tell you the things, okay, that have made me less swollen. Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

I can't wait to hear this.

[Ben Soffer]

I love turmeric, but if you take too much of it, it makes you itchy. Yeah, you just have to be careful. I've overdosed on turmeric. And you just. All you got to do, take. Don't take turmeric for a couple of days, and then you jump back in.

[Claudia Oshry]

Before you give any medical advice. It's just important that everybody knows. Ben has no idea what he's talking. I do. All of his research is from TikTok.

[Ben Soffer]

I do the next one. This one. Everybody should be taking oil of oregano every day.

[Claudia Oshry]

I thought only when you're sick.

[Ben Soffer]

Every single day to make sure that your sinuses stay clear. I've gotten significantly less sinus infection since I started my healthy regimen. Also, every day, I start with AG1.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's. Sure.

[Ben Soffer]

But I drink it every single morning. And I love, love, love it, and it's great.

[Claudia Oshry]

You stop taking creatine because you realize it's meant to be. It's meant to be taken in tandem with going to the gym.

[Ben Soffer]

I was gonna say the problem is that I am not going to the gym.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Ben Soffer]

Once I go to the gym, creatine is a. Is great. But right now, yeah, I'm off.

[Claudia Oshry]

It got really far from Taylor Swift's.

[Ben Soffer]

Wait, but what else am I taking in the morning? Turmeric dose? No, that's just turmeric. I took a dose. I'm itchy. I'm like, why am I itchy? It's because I had a thousand milligrams of tumor. Because I had my 500mg and then dose my oil of oregano. What other fun thing? Lion's mane. Lion's mane. Take it every day. It repairs the brain cells. I'm so much more alert. Have you noticed? I'm more alert.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're more annoying.

[Ben Soffer]

My. My brain mouth. Brain mouth is firing because of the lines.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's really Great.

[Ben Soffer]

And lastly, shout out Gaia herbs.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, we really need to move on because I can't tell you how uninteresting it is. But if you do want to hear me complaining about Ben's supplement intake, you can listen to my episode of your podcast, which we just recorded with Josh and his wife, who's also pregnant. Paige.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

And we talk extensively and I just feel like this is not the platform for you to be like shilling your herbs.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, understood.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like we like and way do we make. Way to make my yesca story about yourself.

[Ben Soffer]

That said, you can go to Ben Saffers herbs dot com.

[Claudia Oshry]

Is that in your. Is that a dream of yours to.

[Ben Soffer]

Own an herb manufacturing company and sell them? For sure.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's like a really easy way to get sued.

[Ben Soffer]

I mean, hocking herbs.

[Claudia Oshry]

You'll be ending up on an episode of.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm going to be like one of those, you know that 95 year old woman that like sits at her her board and like writes like about all the herbs. You know her?

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I don't. Have you been following the Diddy trial? It's ongoing.

[Ben Soffer]

I have. And I saw yesterday somebody said that his penis was the size of a title. Oh, I saw that too, but that's a terrible headline.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's not, by the way. It's not even the worst headline to come out of it. Cassie, do you know who that is? Like his long term partner? Yes, she testified, which she had sued him long after she left him and got $30 million, but of course had to sign like an NDA in a civil suit. But because this is a federal trial, this is like my favorite fun fact about the trial. The feds don't give a if you signed it NDA. Like if you're subpoenaed to testify. So she got her 30 mil and she got to speak her truth.

[Ben Soffer]

Wow.

[Claudia Oshry]

And she's eight months pregnant.

[Ben Soffer]

Good for her.

[Claudia Oshry]

But Ben, like the things that she was detailing that she went through, like he was him forcing male prostitutes to pee in her mouth.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, I did see that.

[Claudia Oshry]

Really disgusting. But there's been a lot of chatter about the Diddy trial as it pertains to Justin Bieber. A lot of people. We talked about this yesterday briefly on the toast. It's all alleged. But a lot of people just assume that like, you know, he's having this sort of like public breakdown right now. And it started around the same time as the Diddy trial and given Justin's age at the time. And they're just. There is like theories that Justin is some sort of victim in all of this Diddy diddiness. But Justin Bieber has broken a silence on Sean Combs as the rap mogul faces sex trafficking trial. Justin Bieber is not a victim of his former friend Sean Diddy Combs. So although Justin is not among Sean's victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. The Peaches crooner representative told Page Six. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice that these victims rightfully deserve. So basically just saying Diddy did that, but not to me.

[Ben Soffer]

I don't. Do you want to talk about Diddy or do you want to talk about Justin?

[Claudia Oshry]

Listen, I'm. What am I, a Nazi? Talk about what you want.

[Ben Soffer]

No, you. You literally. You told me before that I was going off on a rant, so I want to make sure we stay close.

[Claudia Oshry]

You were talking about herbs when we were talking about Taylor Swift.

[Ben Soffer]

I want to. I just want to stay close.

[Claudia Oshry]

I want you to talk about your feelings.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. Well, I think that every single time I see a Justin Bieber headline that, like, something's wrong. I don't think anything's wrong.

[Claudia Oshry]

Jackie and I talk about that extensively.

[Ben Soffer]

I could be.

[Claudia Oshry]

Is something wrong with Justin Bieber or not?

[Ben Soffer]

I think that the media loves talking about Justin Bieber because he's incredibly famous, incredibly cool. I think that he's living his life, and I think that he hates the media. He's so public about how much he hates the paparazzi and all that. He loves. I think he loves seeing headlines that people think that there's something wrong with him because it lets him know that he has power.

[Claudia Oshry]

But have.

[Ben Soffer]

You know what I mean?

[Claudia Oshry]

But have you seen some of the recent footage, like, what they're reporting on, like, him at Coachella, like, obviously with some, like, drug paraphernalia.

[Ben Soffer]

Great. He can't go to Coachella and be on drugs like everybody else in the. In the world.

[Claudia Oshry]

I mean, he has a baby, but.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, I know, but he's also 30. Like, he's not. Like, he's. Or even younger. I don't know how old he is.

[Claudia Oshry]

I think the craziest part, a kid at Coachella, like, of this particular story, is that. Not that Justin is denying being a victim, but he's basically saying there were people who were genuinely harmed by him. Like, even though that that's his former friend, he's not Team Diddy.

[Ben Soffer]

Who could be Team Diddy?

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, his kids are. They're, like, at the courthouse every day, which is really crazy.

[Ben Soffer]

Maybe they're getting a lot of money.

[Claudia Oshry]

Not shockingly, the artist formerly known as Kanye west is a big Diddy supporter.

[Ben Soffer]

That makes sense.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes. But I feel like it's, like, the first time a. A celebrity has publicly been tied to Diddy and then also spoken out against him because there's a million pictures of, like, celebrities. A lot of, like, innocent celebrities attended Diddy's parties, not knowing that, like, downstairs were these freak offs where people were being, like, trafficked and abused. Upstairs. It was just, like, a cool celebrity party.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

So a lot of people get, like, tied. They post pictures of, like, you know, Diddy and Ashton Kutcher. They're like, look, he knew. And I think most of the time, it's just, like, celebrities. You know, as a celebrity yourself, like, you take a picture with someone, I.

[Ben Soffer]

Mean, I can't wait until they see the pictures of me and Diddy.

[Claudia Oshry]

There are none. Not funny. Not funny.

[Ben Soffer]

Did you see Will Smith? He said something. He's just like, I. I have nothing to do with any of this. It's the same thing. Because Will Smith probably went to a lot of parties.

[Claudia Oshry]

But, yeah, the thing is, if I'm a celebrity, like, I don't want to even be remotely. And the fact there are a lot of celebrities who are being publicly tied to Diddy and are not saying something, that definitely gives me pause, because if my ass had a picture and I would be, I would hop on my podcast and be like, oh, my God, I did not know this, man. I went to a lunch, and somebody asked me to take a photo, like, thousand percent. The fact that there aren't more people doing what Will Smith did, like, immediately coming to me, like, no, not. Not my friend.

[Ben Soffer]

I know.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's a little suspicious.

[Ben Soffer]

It is. You know, I think they also just, like, don't want to awake a lying beast.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right. Then, like, the Internet comes after you and, like, finds everything you've ever done.

[Ben Soffer]

My eye. It's. I'm having an eye problem, and you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Feel the need to complain about it on the toast.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm just, like, sharing because I've touched my eye a couple of times, I'm gonna wake up with pink eye.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, my God.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm fine.

[Claudia Oshry]

I farted on your pillow.

[Ben Soffer]

You did? Yeah. Again?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

It was Romeo, actually.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. No, I'm fine. Like, if my eyes look red, I'm fine.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's just. It's just been being, like, sympathy pregnant.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

My eyes hurt too.

[Ben Soffer]

Do they?

[Claudia Oshry]

No.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay, so I just say it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Next story. A little bit of gender identity. News, which I know is some of your favorite news. Lord is clearing up her gender identity.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. Thank God.

[Claudia Oshry]

You know who Lord is?

[Ben Soffer]

I do. I didn't know that she was having a gender identity crisis.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, you know, she recently popped back onto the scene to promote her music, and she did this, like, thing in Washington Square park. And I was like, oh, she looks androgynous. And I was like, okay, just noted. And then she went to the Met Gala and she wore, like, a blazer or whatever. And somebody asked her. She's like, I feel like this is, like, really representative of my new gender identity when, like, I feel like a man but also a woman. And everyone's like, excuse me, can you clarify? And she is clarifying, sort of saying, I'm a woman. Except for the days when I'm a man.

[Ben Soffer]

By the way, I feel that.

[Claudia Oshry]

So she did an in depth Rolling Stone interview where I've seen, like, a couple of the things, like pull quotes. She seems insufferable, I have to say. But this one obviously caught my eye because it's a very interesting way to say, like, gender identity. So she said, some days I'm a woman, some days I'm a man. That's a lyric on an upcoming song of hers. And of course, the interviewer had questions about it. So the interviewer was Chapel Roan. Sorry, that's an important.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

Thing. So Chapel Ron, I asked her how.

[Ben Soffer]

Club Keep on Dancing down in West Hollywood.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, well, that. I actually chose this story because I wanted to ask you a question. Like, you know, you're a man, but there are there days when you feel like a woman and you fit.

[Ben Soffer]

Janaya Doubtfire, dear.

[Claudia Oshry]

And I was gonna say, I actually feel like you feel most like a woman when Chapel Roan comes on.

[Ben Soffer]

I love her.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, Ben loves her.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, look what you've done.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're a pink bonus. That's enough. That's my job, by the way.

[Ben Soffer]

How good My voice is getting better and better.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm a woman, but there are days where I feel like a man. And I would say some of those days include when there's any sort of job or project that needs to get done in the house that requires, like, nails and a hammer.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. The job that I did, moving the bar is you can no longer say that you're the only person who fixes things. Well, I risked my life. I have to give you credit for that final project.

[Claudia Oshry]

In the last couple of months, obviously, like, I made. I talked about this on my Instagram. I made this huge list of home projects I wanted to accomplish before the baby got here. Just like reorganizing, making space. We obviously had to move a ton of furniture around. And one of the last remaining things was we needed to swap out this desk and move our bar somewhere. We just didn't know where the bar was gonna go. So we spent the last couple of weeks just, like, coming up with a place for the bar. We couldn't find a place for it, so we decided to leave it on. We have two balconies and we don't use one of them. So we're like, okay, the balcony should become storage space. So Ben decided to do this completely on his own while I was at work. Like, not ask anyone in the building for help. Picked up our 10,000 pound bar, brought it outside, went to home depot, wrapped it up in a tarp.

[Ben Soffer]

I didn't.

[Claudia Oshry]

It looks like there's a dead body on our balcony.

[Ben Soffer]

I did it perfectly. I went in depth on this story, so I won't do that. On a recent episode of Good Guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, okay.

[Ben Soffer]

But all that you need to know is that I almost actually died. Okay? I moved a ten thousand pound bar. Of course I removed everyone's easy. You move out the liquor. Yeah, I'm not an idiot.

[Claudia Oshry]

We took everything out.

[Ben Soffer]

Took everything out, moved it. But there's a big step and I, like, had to, like, jimmy it over. And all the weight is on me and my back's pressed against the balcony. I almost. I almost fully. I almost fully died. With this final project, Shout out, Home depot found a weatherproof. Everybody wanted to know, was it weatherproof, Ben? Yes to weatherproof. Tarp had snow on it, had heat on it. I put it on the bottom, put it on the top, taped it up. Shout out, gorilla tape. This is fantastic tape.

[Claudia Oshry]

Fantastic tapes, the tarp.

[Ben Soffer]

And it's. Yes, it does look like a dead body. But it's out there. It's no longer our problem.

[Claudia Oshry]

I have to tell you, this was like the biggest project on my list that weighed so heavily because I'm like, I can't move this furniture. That's been the hardest part of pregnancy. Like, how many times have you come home and I'm moving furniture? You know, I don't mind, like, being, you know, sweat equity, but the fact that, like, I have all these projects I can't physically do has been pissing me off. And I have to wait for this slow ass, like, so. You know what?

[Ben Soffer]

And this.

[Claudia Oshry]

I was so grateful when you did it.

[Ben Soffer]

The sweeper's been sweeping. You've become the sweeper's final boss of sweeping.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do you think so?

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm worse than I was before. Yes.

[Ben Soffer]

Significantly.

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't know if I agree with that.

[Ben Soffer]

Significantly. Most people wouldn't consider moving a bar an essential project. Pre baby when it's not in their room and has nothing to do with them.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're just not gonna have time. We're not gonna have time.

[Ben Soffer]

We didn't need to have time.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're not gonna have time.

[Ben Soffer]

Didn't need to do it.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're not gonna have time. How much better does it look?

[Ben Soffer]

Much.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're welcome.

[Ben Soffer]

Would it have been worth it if you found me on the ground? I'm just saying, I. 20 stories down.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, it wouldn't have been better. I would have been very sad.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm cracking up. Back to Lord.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. So some days she's a woman, some days she's a man. I'm. All they have to say is, like, when I'm cooking, I feel like a woman.

[Claudia Oshry]

You do?

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. I'm very Aina. Like, I'm thinking about Aina, your channel manifesting.

[Claudia Oshry]

Aina, your domestic side.

[Ben Soffer]

And you are Jeffrey.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes. No, there are definitely times where I feel like a man.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, you're Jeffrey.

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't think that's necessarily what Lord was saying.

[Ben Soffer]

I don't know what the Lord was saying.

[Claudia Oshry]

Me neither. And I. I don't recommend reading this interview. It seems like just two insufferable. Chatting it up, like Lord and Chapel. Because I know you love Chap and her music is amazing, but, like, on a personal level, she's dreadful.

[Ben Soffer]

No, I love Chapel Roan's music.

[Claudia Oshry]

You just like that one song. What's another song?

[Ben Soffer]

I don't care.

[Claudia Oshry]

So all that to say Lord is a woman, except on the days where she's a man.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

And it's as simple and as complicated as that. I'm gonna up to her. Up to her. That's beautiful.

[Ben Soffer]

I wish her well.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm gonna let everyone know that today's episode is very appropriately brought to you by Huggies. So Huggies is a fabulous brand and their little snugglers are so popular. It's the only leading brand with all around blowout protection for sizes 1 and 2. Do you know what a blowout is?

No.

[Ben Soffer]

Is that when. Okay, I have two ideas of what a block could be. One is when there's an enormous, enormous shit.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

And two is when. Oh, yeah. No, that's exactly what it is. It must just like have a large coverage zone.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. And it like they a blow up like goes outside of the confines of the diaper. It goes up your back, down the leg.

Okay, ready for our fourth story that I feel might be our fifth because I couldn't find one, but I'll look again.

[Ben Soffer]

No, it's our fifth. Our first is the Spirit Society is now available nationwide at Target.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, right. How could I forget? How interesting. Okay, this one is like, a little Internet news. Tommy Lee, who I'm sure everyone knows from Pam and Tommy, drummer for what was the band. Motley Crue.

[Ben Soffer]

Motley Crue, yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

One of the most interesting facts about him is that, like, a couple of years ago, he got married to Brittany Furlan, who was like, a OG vine creator. And they've, like, low key, been just, like, doing their. Their thing, like, living their life, being married. They're getting divorced. Love is dead.

[Ben Soffer]

Sorry. It happens.

[Claudia Oshry]

You've been married for six years. They've reportedly called to quits after six years. They've been living separately for two weeks. That's short.

[Ben Soffer]

It's also short for people to have news on it.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, but it's like, short to, like, I feel like a marriage. You get separated. Like, it takes a long time for a marriage to officially.

[Ben Soffer]

Just because you were living apart for two weeks doesn't mean that, like, maybe they weren't sleeping in separate beds for six months. You never know.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. They say that his drinking is at the. The center of the split and that he's unwilling to get sober. I guess that would be a reason. Like, oh, well, you can't wait around.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm sorry.

[Claudia Oshry]

Despite them no longer staying under the same roof together, the pair remains in contact. This the source shared. It's unclear whether either party plans to file at this time, but they're just, like, separated, and I think people were on to this. If you've been following this couple, he's 62, she's 38. He unfollowed Britney on Instagram, which is, like, such a crazy thing to do.

[Ben Soffer]

To your wife now also, like, in your 60s, right? That's the first thing you do.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, no, like, he's digital now because of her.

[Ben Soffer]

That's really digital.

[Claudia Oshry]

It. I completely agree.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, like, that's. I don't even do that. I don't even know who I follow. I have to do that.

[Claudia Oshry]

You do have to unfollow some people. Like, you follow so many people. I'm always going through my. Because sometimes I'll scroll through my Instagram, like, who are these losers? Like, I find. So I find my own feed so uninteresting.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, no, I don't use my Feedback feed.

[Claudia Oshry]

You don't?

[Ben Soffer]

No.

[Claudia Oshry]

Has your Instagram updated to the new layout?

[Ben Soffer]

It has, yeah. It's not good.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh my God.

[Ben Soffer]

The swiping through with the swiping. How many times.

[Claudia Oshry]

You actually end up on reels?

[Ben Soffer]

A lot.

[Claudia Oshry]

And it's probably because I send you the freakiest content.

[Ben Soffer]

You do.

[Claudia Oshry]

But I get served like actual circus freaks on reels like you do. When I go scrolling through Tick Tock, I see all different types of content. Beauty, lifestyle, health, wellness, comedy reels. It's just circus freaks, by the way.

[Ben Soffer]

That is like derogatory towards the circus. The things you send me. She will send me, like honestly, the fattest people on earth and they're like.

[Claudia Oshry]

Picking their belly buttons and lifting up their stomachs and showing you their penises. Like, it's literally. You guys don't understand what. And reals is not regulated. Like, there's so much pornography.

[Ben Soffer]

You exclusively have 1200 pound nudity.

[Claudia Oshry]

Let me tell you why. I'll tell you why I get freaky things because Brian Kelly sends me the freakiest reels.

[Ben Soffer]

Got it.

[Claudia Oshry]

So I always open them. And then he infiltrated my algorithm. He's like always messing with me.

[Ben Soffer]

Got it. So you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, so he did to me. That's what I'm doing to you.

[Ben Soffer]

Got it. That's why your algorithm is broken and mine is not fully broken. I follow a lot of food creators. My favorite content to consume, by far, recipe videos.

[Claudia Oshry]

Who's your like, inspiration online?

[Ben Soffer]

My inspiration online.

[Claudia Oshry]

Who do you think is doing the best work online right now?

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, God, that's so tough. I always think the Wishbone Kitchen, like has like unbelievable.

[Claudia Oshry]

We get it. You're in love with Wishbone Kitchen.

[Ben Soffer]

I also love my friend Salt Hank. He makes great, great videos. Like food porn. Like I love that stuff. But Kevin. Kevin from Tick Tock? Yes, My friend Kevin. He just found out that his stage four cancer is no longer.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, the sorority guy. He cooks like mass amounts of food because he cooks for a sorority house. He like lives in a sorority house.

[Ben Soffer]

Look up Kevin cooking. I don't even know his last name. He's probably like 50s, maybe a 50 year old guy.

[Claudia Oshry]

And he basically makes like all the meals for all the girls who live in a sorority house. It's like 75 girls.

[Ben Soffer]

His food looks so good.

[Claudia Oshry]

And Pen loves him.

[Ben Soffer]

And there's a girl in his sorority, her name is Larissa, and she has an account called Larissa's Reviews. So he puts out food and then she reviews it. It's genius.

[Claudia Oshry]

It is synergy Synergy. And then he went through a personal, like, sort of challenge where he was diagnosed with cancer.

[Ben Soffer]

He was having cancer. And so he'd give these, like, periodic updates. And he seems to be cancer free right now. Thank God. We're rooting for Kevin.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's so great.

[Ben Soffer]

Rooting for Kevin. But, yeah, he's great. Love him. Somebody should sponsor him. I haven't seen one sponsored video for Kevin. Somebody needs to reach out to Kevin.

[Claudia Oshry]

I think you should reach out and be his representation.

[Ben Soffer]

I need to reach out to Kevin.

[Claudia Oshry]

You do?

[Ben Soffer]

I think that he just does it for the love of the game.

[Claudia Oshry]

I think so, too.

[Ben Soffer]

He loves it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Let's dive into our final segment of the week before we head out on maturity Leave, which is Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is something we do every week on Friday to sort of wrap up, you know, take a look at the week at a glance. Certainly we give out two awards, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. And it's exactly as it sounds. Who was a Queenie this week and who was a winning this week understood. It could be a person, it could be a place or a thing. Now, Jackie always likes to start with Queenie, you know, be positive. But I'm negative like that. So let's start with Weenie. We'll start with Weenie of the Week.

[Ben Soffer]

My Weenie of the week is Starbucks.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wow.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay, let me explain. You've been seeing me sipping my Dunkin iced Tea. Iced tea, Iced coffee. A Dunkin iced coffee. Let me explain. I've loved Starbucks for a very, very, very long time.

[Claudia Oshry]

Ben has woken up every day for the last two years, walk to Starbucks. He literally comes into the room, he says, you want anything from the Bucks? I don't. He is so loyal to this one barista, specifically.

[Ben Soffer]

Correct. His name is Rodney. He's my guy. I highly recommend you tip your baristas or baristas because they work really hard, and the second that you tip them, you're gonna get your coffee faster. Also, like, it's like the world works, like, in miraculous ways with karma. I loved Starbucks because their mobile ordering is supreme. If I go to an airport, I'll still only get Starbucks because I can literally order it in in my Uber to the airport. And when I get there, whatever that said, they've been brainwashing us, folks. I had to switch to putting chai shots in my iced coffee and pretending that I like it because they just said, oh, we don't have sugar free hazelnut one day. And it never came back. They only have sugar free vanilla. And they made me think because Starbucks is so big, I'm like, oh, if Starbucks doesn't have sugar free hazelnut, there must be a worldwide shortage. Uh, no. I went to Dunkin Donuts, ordered an iced coffee. Sugar free hazelnut. It's delicious. They have sugar free hazelnut. Let me also tell you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do you think there's a part of the story that you're missing?

[Ben Soffer]

What? What part of the story am I missing?

[Claudia Oshry]

You just walked into Dunkin Donuts.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. Claudia recommended that I try it. Okay, yeah, whatever. Like, always thinking about you. Like, I don't even understand. And let me also tell you, Dunkin Donuts, this is the heart of New York. Real New Yorkers drink. Duncan, because you walk in there, there's a cop.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes.

[Ben Soffer]

Always a cop. This is the home of cops. You've never seen a cop.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, they like the donuts, but yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

You'Ve still never seen a cop. Stereotypes. You've never. You've never, ever, ever seen a cop in Starbucks.

[Claudia Oshry]

I completely agree. Transplants and like, Starbucks is so elitist. I hate Starbucks. Like, I'm always telling you that it's crap.

[Ben Soffer]

Support the support. Support the boys in blue. Go to Duncan.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, real New Yorkers, like, like you. You're right.

[Ben Soffer]

You walk in there, this is New York.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's true.

[Ben Soffer]

What commercial is that?

[Claudia Oshry]

I. I feel like it's the car service commercial. It is like, I. When you walk into Star a Dunkin Donuts, it's literally like, you know, people on their way to work. Like hardcore, real hard working New Yorkers who. America runs on, Duncan.

[Ben Soffer]

America runs on.

[Claudia Oshry]

This isn't an ad, but I'm so glad you've had a change of heart.

[Ben Soffer]

I didn't even had a change of heart. And while it's not an ad, like, come on, Duncan. Yeah, come on. This is a. This is nice.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'd say I haven't had enough munchkins in my pregnancy.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, Duncan, fantastic.

[Claudia Oshry]

Love a munchkin.

[Ben Soffer]

Fantastic. So, yeah, my weenie of the week is Starbucks because they convinced me that sugar free hazelnut was sold out worldwide. When in reality, I think that they just like, I also want to do it.

[Claudia Oshry]

You said that like you were pretending. And I think there's actually a lot of pretending.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

With Starbucks, like, people just like the cups and the colors and the branding.

[Ben Soffer]

And they're just pretending and the convenience. The mobile app is completely revolutionary. Mobile app is revolutionary.

[Claudia Oshry]

I agree.

[Ben Soffer]

Every day I wake up, do it.

[Claudia Oshry]

I just read like, I Feel like Dunkin' Donuts in these other places, like, also have apps that also work. You just, like, don't download them.

[Ben Soffer]

Maybe you think there's mobile. What's proprietary about you think that there's mobile pickup? I don't know.

[Claudia Oshry]

They have, like, those kiosks now at McDonald's. Like, why wouldn't they?

[Ben Soffer]

I'm gonna look into it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Just an idea.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

My winning of the week is hbo. Max, I don't know if you heard they were working on their rebrand. Oh, I did. Jackie was being so funny on the toast yesterday. And you know What? She was 100. Right? Like, imagine being a billion dollar company and dropping the ball so hard. Like, it's actually embarrassing.

[Ben Soffer]

It is.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's weenie like, behavior.

[Ben Soffer]

It's completely insane to have worked so hard to build that amount of brand equity. When you see hbo, because we're watching the Sopranos now, when you get that, you're like, oh, this is gonna be a really great show.

[Claudia Oshry]

Can I ask you a question? I saw somebody say this once on Twitter. When you hear the hum, what theme song starts playing in your mind?

[Ben Soffer]

Curb.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, for me, it's.

[Ben Soffer]

I rest my case. Sopranos, Game of Thrones. Curb your enthusiasm. No, but, like, the best TV was made by hbo. Who's Max?

[Claudia Oshry]

Literally, who is Max?

[Ben Soffer]

Maddie's husband.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, my machatom sister husband. Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

It's not a streaming service.

[Claudia Oshry]

Who is Max in this world?

[Ben Soffer]

Max isn't. It's HBO completely. If anything. Drop the max.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's just HBO 1000%.

[Ben Soffer]

What is Max doing there?

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't know. You sound like Jerry Seinfeld.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

What is Max doing that?

[Ben Soffer]

What is Max doing there? It's not.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'll tell you what Max is doing there. Being weenie of the week.

[Ben Soffer]

Weenie. Max is a weenie.

[Claudia Oshry]

Queenie. I'm gonna go first. I've been planning my queenie all week. Actually, you do it. And I'm really excited that you're here.

[Ben Soffer]

I really hope you don't have mine, my queen.

[Claudia Oshry]

No. Unless. Did you make yourself queenie of the week?

[Ben Soffer]

No.

[Claudia Oshry]

You are my queenie of the week. So I thought this would be a great way to wrap up the show. I wanted to, because I. I cloud on Ben, like, all the time. On this podcast, on my Instagram, on his podcast, pretty much any public forum that I can get on. But I would be remiss. I would be devastated. I would even be heartbroken if I didn't spend the next two minutes publicly declaring how fabulous of a Husband. You have been darling always in our entire pregnancy. I mean, our entire marriage. But from the moment I found out I'm pregnant, let me tell you, this man has not let me cook my own meal, lifted a finger. I know that if you could take on even an eighth of this burden physically, you would do it. Like you are. So we have. I know it hasn't been like, you know, a dream for you, but, like, I have loved. Loved this. I haven't loved this time. I can't lie. I haven't loved being pregnant, but I have loved spending this time with you. I feel like we are closer than ever. I feel like I know you better than ever. I know without a shadow of a doubt you're gonna be the best dad. I'm, like, not even worried. But you so deserve Queenie, because you've just made this as comfortable as possible. Never missed an appointment. And, like, just. I feel like you made me laugh. Like, you have been just so, so fabulous. There's only so much a husband can do in pregnancy, right? And let me tell you, they could write books about what Ben Saffer celebrity has done for me. Like, I clown on you and we joke, but I just have to tell you, I love you so much.

[Ben Soffer]

I love you.

[Claudia Oshry]

I appreciate you so much.

[Ben Soffer]

So unexpected.

[Claudia Oshry]

I couldn't have done it without you. And I love you.

[Ben Soffer]

I love you. Thank you, Queenie. You've been a queen, too, of course.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes, I have.

[Ben Soffer]

You've handled this amazing champ, and I'm.

[Claudia Oshry]

So thin, I barely gained any weight. Like, it's insane.

[Ben Soffer]

A champ.

[Claudia Oshry]

Agreed.

[Ben Soffer]

I love you. Thank you. That was very sweet.

[Claudia Oshry]

Who's your queenie?

[Ben Soffer]

And all that I have to say is, like, now looking at it like some husbands needs to do a little bit better.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do you feel judgmental?

[Ben Soffer]

It's not judgmental. I feel sad. I feel really sad that, like, there are guys out there that are. Are so deadbeat, and they don't even realize it. Like. Like, give a shred of a help. Yeah, whatever. Okay. My Queenie. Sorry, it's not you. It's okay, because it's of the week.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, of course.

[Ben Soffer]

Queenie of my life is you. My Queenie of the week, no question, is Timothee Chalamet.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, not Jalen Brunson. No, I thought you were gonna say the Brunson boys.

[Ben Soffer]

Timothy Chalamet has stepped into a role that we desperately needed to fill as the number one public Knicks fan. Okay. This guy is going to every game, sitting courtside, bringing the Kardashians, traveling, going To Boston wearing cool outfits. He is it. And Spike Lee. I'm sorry, you're done.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wow. You think?

[Ben Soffer]

It was a crazy week. Spike Lee missed one Nick game because of the Met Gala and he was replaced.

[Claudia Oshry]

Wow.

[Ben Soffer]

Nobody is talking about. Spike Lee is the. Nick is like the number one Nick fan anymore. It's now they're saying some. Some people are saying Ben Stiller. It's.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's not Ben Stiller.

[Ben Soffer]

It's Timothy Chalamet.

[Claudia Oshry]

I agree.

[Ben Soffer]

And all that I have to say is that he is once. Kylie is wearing a Knicks hat. The Knicks are slowly moving into, like, really cool. No more clowning. Okay. Wearing Nick's stuff. I've been doing it for 33 years. We've been losers. We've been losers. We're not losers. We're awesome. Definitely has something to do with Jalen Brunson and the team. But Timothee Chalamet is helping. Is helping. He's helping our pr.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do you want to make an official prediction score wise? You think the Knicks are gonna win tonight? Yes or no?

[Ben Soffer]

The Knicks are gonna win tonight. Because I can't. Because I can't fathom them losing this series after they were up 3:1. And if they lose tonight, there is no doubt in my mind that they lose game seven.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, of course if they lose tonight, then it's over.

[Ben Soffer]

They are going to win tonight.

[Claudia Oshry]

Also, the player, like the best player for the. For the other team is.

[Ben Soffer]

Is out.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, there's literally no reason that they should lose.

[Ben Soffer]

I know, but the Celtics really are like, a team.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, they're great.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, even without Jason Tatum, they're still great.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, but he's really good.

[Ben Soffer]

He's really good. I think that the Knicks are going to win 1 09, 1 02. It's going to be slightly lower scoring than everybody expects. 109, 102, Knicks.

[Claudia Oshry]

Shit.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm changing it. I'm changing it. 1 19, 1 12.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay. I like it.

[Ben Soffer]

1 19,1 12. Knicks. You heard it here first. Jalen Brunson is going to have 40 points and the Knicks are gonna win. What do you think?

[Claudia Oshry]

I hope I'm with you. Hashtag. I'm with bsc.

[Ben Soffer]

And also just like, look for us, like, we're not Celebrity Robo. We're pretty close.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Like, maybe if you see me on tv, take a picture. Unless I look fat.

[Ben Soffer]

Snap a pic.

[Claudia Oshry]

So that is that on my final episode before maturity leave. I just want to say I'm gonna miss you all so much. I hope you're not gonna miss me too much.

[Ben Soffer]

They are. They are.
