The Diaz of the semana.
Jackson Claude
The DS of the semana. The DS of. Oh, by the way, today's such a Latina inspired show. We've got lots of news in the Latin space.
Claudia
We do have lots of news. It's actually very much, I think, gonna be a sports heavy show because it was a big sports weekend. I mean, look at your shirt.
Jackson Claude
Oh, yeah. Not only am I wearing my $300, Ryder cut me. Just kidding. It wasn't $300. It wasn't $300. But it was so expensive.
Claudia
Okay, so What? It was $250.
Jackson Claude
I don't know how much it was. I just know that me and Ben got a bunch of stuff and the total was $1,300 for merch.
Claudia
Okay. But it's once in a lifetime merch. Like, you can't ever buy it again.
Jackson Claude
And it's merch for my sister.
Claudia
Oh, my gosh, I'm so excited.
Jackson Claude
If you're watching on YouTube, you can see the par. Delicious hat that I got for Jackie. It's a Ryder cup hat. Everyone was, like, wearing this hat.
Claudia
That's like the official hat of the weekend.
Jackson Claude
Oh, look, this price is on it. How much you think this hat is? Okay, it's a steal.
Claudia
45, 48. Not bad. It looks quality too.
Jackson Claude
So when we got to the merch place, it was huge. It was like this emporium and it was so well run. I have so many thoughts on the Ryder cup from, like, a logistics standpoint. Like, shout out to the logistics company. It was the most, like, organized event I'd ever been to. And it was this huge. Like, literally looked like a King Cullen. Like, it was this huge. And when we're checking out, the guy was like, have you guys been to the main merch shop yet? I said, excuse me. He was like, yeah, this is just Polo.
Claudia
Oh. I was like, like, yeah.
Jackson Claude
So I thought, like, polo, because polo was like the biggest sponsor. I thought they were just responsible for all the merch.
Claudia
Got it.
Jackson Claude
So the main merch shop is like a mall where they have different brands doing merch. Is that crazy?
Claudia
That's sick.
Jackson Claude
So when next time you're here, I'll give you your hat.
Claudia
I can't wait to wear this hat to the pardon night.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, I got my sister hat. And this is women's merch. They had, like, some crop tops. You know, we're always talking about how, like, people can't make merch for women. They're like, oh, athletes, women. Like, they had par. Delicious things.
Claudia
I thought you also said, do you have free merch?
Jackson Claude
No. Who said I got free merch?
Claudia
I thought you said you got free merch.
Jackson Claude
When? When, When?
Claudia
I don't know. I thought, like, you posted something. Hold on. You posted something. And I was like, oh, my gosh, love the merch. And you're like, I got so much free stuff, I'll give you.
Jackson Claude
No, I said, I got so much stuff, I'll give you. And that's the half.
Claudia
Sorry, I just assumed it was free. I said, get me one. You said, I got so much merch. You can have whatever you want.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. So I picked this out for you today.
Claudia
Sorry, it was giving free, but, yeah, no, I wish. Well, thank you so much. I'm so excited to hear about your day at the Ryder Cup.
Jackson Claude
Is that now or is there a story?
Claudia
Well, we have a story about, like, the events of the Ryder Cup. So you tell me how you want to play it.
Jackson Claude
Let me talk about, like, my own personal experience right now and then, because I want to be able to give to the news when we're doing the stories, like, just to not center myself. But yeah, I went to the Ryder Cup. It was kind of crazy, you know, as I was, like, walking through the place, I realized what a big deal it was, you know, and how. Correct me if I'm wrong when it is in the States, it's not always at this particular facility, is it different?
Claudia
And every time, just like all the golf, everyone, they really spread the golf championships.
Jackson Claude
So I feel like, you know, we represented New York really well. Ben said, this is, like, a really famous public course. Like, it's so. Yeah. He's like, it's the pardest course ever. And when I tell you, like, facilities wise, I could not get over the logistical dream that it was. I'm sure everybody, like, you know, because, like, when I went to Coachella, I'm like, this is a nightmare. But, like, they had. Jackie saw my Instagram. She was like, oh, I saw you were getting, like, chauffeured around on a golf cart. I'm like, yeah, that wasn't like a special tourty thing. That was everyone. They were like a line of golf carts. There were so many golf carts. Where do you need to go. What hole are you trying to get to? Like, it was so organized. I could not get over Jackie. When we were in the merch shop, they had so many people working there. When you were getting online to go check out. Before you did that, there was like a little station where they removed your hangers. Like, just things like that nobody would think of. It was so organized. I couldn't get over the organization of it all. Like, and it was really beautiful, right? Like, all the sponsors, they had Polo everywhere. There was like, Ralph's, you know, the Ralph Lauren ice iced coffee place. They had like, Ralph's trucks and Arnold Palmer is like. I felt like New York really showed up and showed out. It was a gorgeous day too. Yeah, I was just being like a proud New Yorker.
Claudia
Oh, nice. I was wondering if that was more like the organization that puts it on. I think it's a combination between, like, PGA and like, the European pga. And so I would imagine that, like, wherever they go, they have that level of organization.
Jackson Claude
But maybe the venue that many human beings in one area, like, is a logistical nightmare. And just get me out. That's not at all something I, like, I'm attracted towards. But I was pleasantly surprised at how Parchy it was. Also, it was the most baby friendly, stroller friendly event I'd ever been to. So I went on the website because I'm like, packing all my shit the morning of with my, literally my caravan of shit, diaper bags, baby carrier, stroller. And I'm like, do these places have, like, bag rules? Like, you can't bring a bag into a stadium. Like, so I go on the website and they're like, you can only have a purse that's six by six. I'm like, excuse me. And then I want to read it. I was like. So I was deeply moved by the. The FAQ website for the Ryder Cup. Ready?
Claudia
Okay.
Jackson Claude
I took a screenshot of it because I thought it was okay. The following items are also permitted on site. Small bags, diaper bags, strollers. Like, that's part. I don't know if, like, all organized events have that, but I just felt like it was so. I felt so seen. It was so inclusive. And I think I was maybe one of two people who brought their baby. Like, I didn't. I thought it was going to be, like, way more babylicious.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
And people were like, looking around at me when Ruby was like, in the carrier on my chest. Like, that was crazy.
Claudia
Yeah. But you were like, in a suite and you were tucked away and you were sitting yeah, but it was crazy.
Jackson Claude
Now I feel like this is sort of like the push and pull with motherhood. Like, don't want to go anywhere without my baby. Going with my baby is no longer fun. Yeah. Like, I was sweating like an adult. We were trying to get him to nap. Lol.
Claudia
He's not going to nap at the Ryder Cup. He's witnessing history.
Jackson Claude
Then I put him in the baby carrier, and he did nap, and I was, like, walking around huffing and puffing, sweating like an animal. So, yeah, it was kind of like a nightmare. No fun was had. But Ruby went to the Ryder Cup. You know, it took his dad 33 years to get to the Ryder Cup. It took Ruby four months.
Claudia
Yeah, no, he needed to go. Also, like, the fact that it was in Long island, of course, and because, like, I'm so passionate about the Ryder Cup. You had to go with Ben when he. He texted me that, like, he got tickets to the Ryder cup that Claudia doesn't want to go. And I was like, koji, okay, that's.
Jackson Claude
Not at all what happened. Just saying.
Claudia
Oh, no. I know that after I spoke to you, but that's what he texted me saying.
Jackson Claude
I said to Ben, Ben. And I don't even know what he's talking about. He's like, I got tickets. No, he didn't. I think he was, like, going to go get tickets. And I said, sure, but, like, we're bringing Ruby, and I need you to get us into, like, you know, a place that has, like, air conditioning and food. So when we did that, the fabulous team at Celsius was more than generous. And, yes, I had a party experience. I couldn't have done it without, like, the indoor facilities. Like, I think people go and they walk every hole and they drink the whole day, and they literally walk from hole one to hole 18 and they spend the whole day. I couldn't do that.
Claudia
I didn't see that for you. That's not what I saw. I said, on Wednesday, you go on a rider. He said, I am not. I said, why?
Jackson Claude
I just want to say Ben's a liar because on Wednesday he didn't have tickets. Okay?
Claudia
I said, why? He said, Claude wasn't into it.
Jackson Claude
Liar. That liar. He didn't even ask me until you brought it up. So I told Ben. I'm like, yeah, that's such a fun thing to do with Ruby. It's a beautiful day outside. What else are we doing? Get Pargie, like, VIP tickets. And he did.
Claudia
Cracking up. I'm so glad that it all worked out. I watched a little bit of Saturday and then a lot of Sunday. Oh, my God. Watching golf live is so stressful. Like, seriously. Not for someone who needs to monitor their blood pressure. No, it's like watching those balls roll. Like.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, but on tv, they have so much high tech programming that, like, you know where the ball's gonna go. Good luck seeing the ball in person.
Claudia
Of course. Of course.
Jackson Claude
I saw, like, a bunch of players. I didn't see one ball. It was so tiny.
Claudia
Did they have monitors for you to watch on tv?
Jackson Claude
They did. And so, like, we're all in the suite, and, like, the golf is happening right outside our door, and everybody's watching it on the tv. It's so stupid.
Claudia
Yeah. Yeah.
Jackson Claude
But it's more like camaraderie.
Claudia
Yeah. I mean, it's very tribal. And we'll get into it. We'll get into the controversy of the Ryder cup because it was a crazy one. I don't know why. Like, maybe because it was the first one I watch. I just felt like it wasn't the most premium one. I felt like I finally got into it, and it was like a show.
Jackson Claude
Well, because we lost and we stunk it up.
Claudia
Yeah, but, like, everyone, like, heckling Rory, everyone saying the American fans were so bad. But I. That's what they do at all Ryder Cups. Like, I think when the US Goes to Europe, like, the European fans are trash talking, too. But it's just, like, a bad look for the fans, a bad look for New Yorkers. I just, like, I felt like it was so messy.
Jackson Claude
No, for sure. Although I do want to say boots on the ground, like, literally.
Claudia
Was that not what you were seeing?
Jackson Claude
It was so civilized. And I actually remarked to Ben, like, how many people, like, men were, like, helping me walk upstairs. Like, when I had Ruby strapped to my chest, like, everybody was, like, looking out for me not to, like, center myself yet again. But then I was really surprised to see, like, all the discourse online about American fans. And I do think, like, I probably didn't see most of it and, like, the fans were being disgusting, but I also think, like, Rory's loving this victim era for himself. Like, except to the person who threw a drink at his wife. Like, seriously, jail? Yeah, jail for you. So I didn't personally see that, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Oh. But because I was, like, in my own world.
Claudia
That's very interesting, because if you just read the headlines, like, you would think, like, all of these people need to go to behavioral class and learn how to Be, like, amongst. No, like, when we were.
Jackson Claude
When we were leaving, Ruby was sleeping on my chest, and Ben was pushing the stroller. We, like, looked like, you know, we needed help. We could not find the exit. And so many people were like, what do you need? It's over there. Do you want us to call a medical to drive you? I was like, okay. No, like, it's not that dramatic, but, like, I. I just don't recall, actually. Maybe I don't leave the house that much, like, with Ruby that, like, I. I just remember being, like, stunned at how, like, nice everyone was being. But maybe that was truly just my experience. And I'm American, so everyone was nice to me.
Claudia
Yeah. Or maybe there were some bad moments, but you missed those moments, and then outside of those moments, everyone was decent.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
That's very interesting. Really rebuking the narrative there.
Jackson Claude
No, I meant when I was there, I was like. I wanted to remember this, to say on the show. I didn't even know that there was all this drama with the fans. I just wanted to say, like, I thought everybody was being so nice to me. My baby. Like, it was such a friendly event. Like, that was my experience for real. Meanwhile, I see on TV there's, like, so much drama, people getting arrested.
Claudia
Like, extra state troopers called in.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. Meanwhile, I'm like, seriously being treated like queen. That's really funny. It was really funny. But that's just genuinely my experience. I'm not denying it's your true experience.
Claudia
It's a big event. A lot can happen.
Jackson Claude
I mean, it's huge, too. I really chilled by holes. 15, 16, 17, 18, 1 1. Yeah. Like, loops around.
Claudia
Well, we'll get into the actual golf later in the show because this is a sports podcast. We loved seeing you guys talk to your men about what you learned here at the Toast.
Jackson Claude
And we are helping women.
Claudia
We are.
Jackson Claude
This is a women's, like, health podcast. It.
Claudia
I mean, it literally is. We're constantly talking about women's health, our periods, and, like, various other feminists. But no, like, for dinner tonight, if you're going on a date with your man or a new man you want to impress, like, we've got all the talking points for you. Okay. So stay tuned for that.
Jackson Claude
For that, for sure. Yes. Super bowl news.
Claudia
We have the super bowl news. There's a lot to discuss. Do you want to get into it? Do you feel comfortable?
Jackson Claude
I do. I did also want to say that I didn't know, like, I was supposed to be waiting up for an announcement last night. How did everybody know that they were announcing it.
Claudia
I would say, well, so the Cowboys. It was the Cowboys game at 8 o'. Clock. My husband was watching the game. And as the game started, he said, they're announcing the halftime show at halftime of this game. And I was like, oh. I was like, okay, so come call me when that happens. But then I was in. He was watching in the living room and I was in my bed and I was turned something on. I was like, I'll just watch the game until the halftime show. So I was like sitting there waiting. And I think that also made it worse for me because I was like, so excited. And you know, in my head I'm like, is it Taylor? Is it Miley? Is it Adele?
Jackson Claude
Right, Taylor, Miley, Adele.
Claudia
And spoiler alert. Like, no, it's bad. It's not for the girls. So by the girls and for the girls.
Jackson Claude
We'll get into that. But I just want to say, like, I. It's giving last minute. Because if they knew who the the person was, like, I thought there would be so much hype. Like, how do I not know that they're making the announcement? Like, I live and breathe this and I didn't even know that was an announcement coming.
Claudia
Yeah. But I feel like usually it just sort of drops and then I catch it. And like, that's just how it is. The fact that I sat there for two hours and like, at 49 seconds left in the second quarter, I really had to pee. But I'm like, it's 49 seconds. Like, I'll wait. And I just like sat there holding my pee. But you know, 49 seconds in football is 20 minutes, is three hours.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
And then I finally, like, then I checked my phone and they had already announced it, like, on Twitter. Was on Twitter before I watched it on tv. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm just gonna go pee. And like, what a waste of my time.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. So I'm glad I didn't wait up because, like, I went to bed part deliciously early, fell asleep to the sweet sounds of Ina garden. Ugh. Even though I want to kill Aina.
Claudia
What'd she do now?
Jackson Claude
One thing about Aina is she heavily with the food processor. Like, she doesn't make a dish without the food processor. Like, on the counter.
Claudia
Respect.
Jackson Claude
And Ben is now like, gung ho on getting a food processor. And like, we just don't need one. And we actually had like an argument last night. He was on Amazon getting a food processor. And I just said, I'm like, please, I'm actually like, begging you on my hands and knees, like, please don't get a food processor. First of all, I know you don't give a rat's ass about food safety. Like, you're. There's so many parts. Like, you're not going to keep it clean. 2. It's just going to be, like, strewn about on the counter. There's no space for it. Like, please. And he was like, why can't I just get a food processor? And I was like, you can, but I'm actually asking you not to.
Claudia
You know, I should have said. And then we had.
Jackson Claude
Because we just cleaned out the kitchen and then we had this, like, negotiation. He was like, okay. Because I had begged him when we were cleaning out the kitchen. I'm like this enormous blender. You've never used it. Like, seriously, get rid of it. And he was like, I need a blender. And it's not like a little nutribullet. Like, it's a big ass blender.
Claudia
But a blender is a food processor.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
So are you getting one system that has both?
Jackson Claude
So he is. Now we have agreed to part ways with the ancient filthy blender.
Claudia
Great.
Jackson Claude
And I have agreed to get the small 7 quart. Is it quart 7 cup food processor.
Claudia
But also. And I know this would be team Ben if I say this, but like, there are blender systems where it's a base and then they have a blender attachment or a pulse or a food processor. Because he does the same thing of mixing. So he could have gotten something like that. But that's more parts for you. Yeah, but you should have said to him, you're such a good chopper. You don't need a food processor. It's like, for people who can't chop so good.
Jackson Claude
He was like, he actually had the nerve to look me in the eyes and say, yeah, but I want to make gazpachos.
Claudia
That's really hard. That's hard.
Jackson Claude
That's a conversation ender.
Claudia
That's hard on a marriage.
Jackson Claude
I was like, you're ridiculous. It was like, seriously, the most contentious time. Like, we. I was just like. I wasn't even saying no. I was just like, please, please.
Claudia
I was begging, like, think of me. Please think of your.
Jackson Claude
Please don't.
Claudia
And don't forget we've lived a good life.
Jackson Claude
We have lived a. Oh, I'm sorry.
Claudia
Oh, noise, noise, noise, noise.
Jackson Claude
The other part of the argument that bears mentioning is that we got a food processor for our wedding. We had it for what? We've been married now eight Years. We probably had it for six years. Never once used it. I gave. I gave it away two years ago. So not only did you have one for six years, you never used it. You've now lived without it for two years. And you're completely fine. You're completely happy and content in your life, but just because fucking that bitch Ina cooks with it, like, I'm seriously so fucking done with Ina.
Claudia
I, like, really. I empathize with you as an empath, and I. Knowing that you're going through this marital spat, but I do sympathize with Ben because I love gadgets. And if I'm watching something and there's something that I need that I don't have, like, I need it, I need a gadget. But I live in a house, and that's what a house is for.
Jackson Claude
Correct. So if Ben wants to buy me a house, I'll buy him a food processor.
Claudia
To the suburbs if he wants a food processor.
Jackson Claude
Correct.
Claudia
Until then, chop, chop, chop.
Jackson Claude
Until then, no gazpacho for you.
Claudia
Yeah. You should make him watch shows of people who have, like, small kitchens and live in cities.
Jackson Claude
So tiny kitchen.
Claudia
He could learn hacks for being in a small kitchen and not being able. Like, Ina has a huge kitchen. You can't relate to that.
Jackson Claude
She's a palatial estate.
Claudia
Yeah, no, that's. You should find a creator who, you know, who does that. Who does that? I don't know how to say. I don't know her name. The New York Times. Chrissy Teigen girl.
Jackson Claude
Allison Roman.
Claudia
Yes. She has a YouTube series. It's, like, really good. And she has a. At least last time I watched, she has a small kitchen, so she's going hacks.
Jackson Claude
Got it.
Claudia
So Ben should become an Allison Roman girl.
Jackson Claude
I am only subscribing to, like, poor chefs who don't have big kitchens, you know? Yeah. Life hack.
Claudia
See, compromise. Yeah.
Jackson Claude
I'll go on Ben's phone and, like, subscribe him to, like, a bunch of, like, tiny kitchen.
Claudia
You should take his phone and follow Alison Roman. Like, just like.
Jackson Claude
Okay. Okay. Yeah, okay. Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Like, kind of trouble. A paradise for me.
Claudia

They just launched something new and it's their first try at leggings. So it's the Vista collection they did not miss. They created leggings that are buttery soft. So soft in fact you might forget you have pants on. But don't worry, you do. They're high waisted, which if you're not making leggings that are high waisted, like seriously put it in the garbage. They're supportive but they don't compress and they hit the very rare balance between structured and flexible. So a lot of leggings can slide down and give you like that drop crotch feeling, which is the worst. Or leggings will cut you off in weird places. Well, these don't. They really just work. They come in three core colors. Black flag blue, which is like a purpley blue color, and a nice soft green that's perfect for this time of year. Perfect for the redhead in your life. You know, green leggings are extremely complimentary to our fair skinned partialicious redheads. The best part is that they didn't just drop leggings and it's a collection that means multiple items. They launch matching bra tops and layering pieces to go with them so you can throw on a full set with a half zip or jacket and actually feel pulled together. So whether you're working out, running errands, hopping on a flight, or just having a low key day, this is the kind of outfit that covers all the bases without looking like you didn't try. We've both been wearing them nonstop at home, at the studio, walking the dogs. More so Jackie than me these days. They're the kind of set that you put on and just really exclusively wear. So if you're looking for a reset, something that's functional and flattering, check out the Vista collection from Roback and use our code toastroback.com for a generous 20 off your first order through the end of this week.

Thank you. The Turt. I will let them know that.
Jackson Claude
Let them know. Let them know our first story.
Claudia
Bad Bunny is headlining the Apple music Super Bowl 2026 halftime show. It was announced, announced last night at the Cowboys packers game during halftime that Bad Bunny will be the halftime show. There was, like, a little video of him sitting on top of a goal post saying, super bowl halftime show.
Jackson Claude
So I'm split because I'm a tostada, of course, but I'm also a swirly. And I was really hoping. We had, like, a long, extensive discussion about, like, who it could be.
Claudia
No.
Jackson Claude
And, like, really hoping for, like, one for the girlies. You know, like a pop girly. Taylor was thrown around. Adele was turned around. Miley was really thrown around. Of course, Kelly Clarkson is always welcome. So it's not my particular genre. So I'm not, like, lit up. Like, I'm not going to be, like, waiting around, like, for what he's gonna sing. But I know there's a lot of people who are excited, especially people from my community. So I'm happy for you guys.
Claudia
You're happy for your community?
Jackson Claude
I'm happy for my community. But, like, is this who I would have chosen? No. No.
Claudia
And especially with the names that were floating around, which were so exciting and so girly.
Jackson Claude
We've had, like, three men in a row.
Claudia
Yeah, we have. We haven't had a pop moment in a while. And I thought this was our time. I just assumed it was our time. I didn't even think that they might be someone from left field who wasn't a girl in the mix.
Jackson Claude
In the mix?
Claudia
Yeah. No. Or even if it wasn't Adele, Miley, or Taylor.
Jackson Claude
Taylor.
Claudia
I don't know. I just thought it was Going to be, like, girly and swirly, especially as the NFL is, like, trying to, like, get more girls and women involved with, like, Taylor. And then this is just like a total left turn. Zach was explaining to me. He's like, NFL's really trying to court a global audience in general. Like, they play the games in London. They just did one in Dublin this weekend. And Bad Bunny is the biggest artist globally in the entire world. So, like, this is just, like, great marketing for them to, like, get into the Audi, like, millions of audience. But, like, then they're just, like, not necessarily catering to the people who are, like, the fans of the NFL who have teams in the league, like, the people who watch.
Jackson Claude
So, yeah, there's like, two initiatives, I think on a small scale. The NFL is like, you know, within our country trying to, like, cater more towards women. And that's why they have, like, the Christian use check partnership and, like, little things. But yeah, there is this, like, initiative to make football like a globally recognized sport because football is actually soccer for most people and nobody outside of America plays the sport of football. Like, they don't even have leagues. So I understand what they're trying to do. And honestly, in that regard, like, this is a brilliant choice.
Claudia
No, it is worth mentioning that, like, he just announced a world tour and he was not stopping in the U.S. he had zero shows in the U.S. and I think also it was, like, a political thing. So now you're going to do, like, the biggest show in the US but you wouldn't go see your fans in.
Jackson Claude
The US he had said that he was skipping the US on his tour completely because he didn't want it to. I'm like, paraphrasing here. But he didn't want, like, it to become a hot spot for immigration. Yeah.
Claudia
That he didn't want ICE to be waiting outside his concert to deport his fans.
Jackson Claude
Right. So I think. I don't know why the super bowl would be different, but maybe it's just like a thing of like, get your bag, you know. Oh, speaking of getting your bag. He doesn't get paid.
Claudia
No, you don't get paid to do the super bowl, but it's get your eyeballs or even Apple music. No, you don't get paid to do the Super Bowl. We've talked about this so many times and, like, really, there's no amount that they could pay you.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
And then people get paid different. It's really messy. And, like, you're on the biggest stage in the world. Like, that's the payment. But he did say in a statement, he said, what I'm feeling goes beyond myself. It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown. This is for my people, my culture and our history.
Jackson Claude
Slay the house down. Love someone who's proud of their culture. It's just not who I would have chosen. But I'm happy people are excited. So as long as you know this is for someone great.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Speaking of, get your bag. I have completely fallen into the side of tick tock that's talking about the Riyadh Comedy Festival now.
Claudia
At first I just sending you the Riyadh Comedy Festival for the last joke.
Jackson Claude
Tim Dillon made a joke. I thought it was a joke. I didn't know it was a real festival.
Claudia
It's a real thing.
Jackson Claude
Oh my God, there's so much drama. You guys like so. And I guess I didn't realize so. And by the way, it all comes back to golf. Ready?
Claudia
Because of.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, so I guess like Saudi Arabia has like this ministry of like foreign affairs that's really been trying to like infiltrate culture and they've been hosting a lot of. They've been trying to like get like Americans into. They're trying to like meet us halfway. Right. So like they started the live golf tournament and got a bunch of like American and European golf players like start playing in Saudi Arabia. They're trying to like normalize their culture. And they've also been doing it a lot with boxing. And I guess I didn't realize because like I don't really pay attention to golf or boxing. But then this weekend they threw a comedy festival and people are really upset because it's like held by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Like Saudi Arabia is hella problematic. You know, like women can't drive and they have like slavery. It's like really bad.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
And so all these top tier comedians, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, those were like the biggest names. Oh, Bill Burr. People are really mad at Bill Burr. You have to see the lineup.
Claudia
It's like the biggest, like the, the big comedians of the, you know, like the, like Tom Segura.
Jackson Claude
Tom Segura, yes. So they have. Saudi Arabia has paid these comedians insane amounts of money to sort of like, you know, forego like a moral stance.
Claudia
Look, the human rights violations and make.
Jackson Claude
To come and play one show. And I'm sure that these comedians thought like it wasn't going to become that big of a story. Like who gives a shit about like a random comedy festival festival in Saudi Arabia. And again, like, people have been playing golf for Saudi Arabia. It was kind of a big deal with the golf thing. But, like, all these boxing matches have been happening. Like, I'm sure they were, like, nobody really cares. It's one weekend. Everyone's not gonna be paying attention. But it has blown up. I think it's more so because a lot of these comedians, almost all of. I mean, comedy in itself is very political. And so a lot of them, you know, do their comedy to express their political views. And, like, this is, you know, kind of, like a crazy thing to do, and people are so mad. I was really. I was actually really shocked to see two women up there, too, like Whitney Cummings. Oh, yikes.
Claudia
Yikes.
Jackson Claude
And Jessica Kirsten, who I really like, too. Like, I'm just following this whole thing. It's so crazy. And I understand. And so this other comedian, I sent you this video. I didn't know his name. He dropped out. He, like, made this video.
Claudia
He said he dropped out two weeks ago, like, before all of this happened. But now with all the flyers going around, people are seeing his face is on the old flyers. So he's like, people think I'm still doing it, and I'm actually not doing it, doing it.
Jackson Claude
And he was basically saying, like, they paid him for, like, 40 times as much as what he gets for a regular show. So let's say he makes a thousand dollars a show. They were offering him $40,000, and he made this, like, video being like, all right, so I'll just do 40 shows. I'll just work really hard and do 40 shows. Like, okay, like, that's your job. Like, why yelling at us? Like, it has been you guys. My Tick Tock is infiltrated by it. It has been the craziest. And now I'm getting content from the festival. Like, the official, official festival account, making, like, hype videos of Kevin Hart. I just know Kevin Hart, like, wants to die. Like, he did not think it was going to turn into such a big deal. Now, like, all these videos are resurfacing. It is so crazy. I'm obsessed.
Claudia
Yeah, it is really crazy. I'm sure Kevin Hart's getting paid a lot of money.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. I think I heard that the most anyone had gotten paid, and I assume it was either him or Dave Chappelle is $2 million.
Claudia
I would have thought more.
Jackson Claude
And then on the lower end, I think, like, some of the smaller comedians are getting, like, 150, which is, like, more than they would really ever make in a single given show.
Claudia
Well, of Course. But like, that just doesn't sound like enough. I completely agree.
Jackson Claude
And people. Oh. And so this. Oh, it really became a story because Shane Gillis spoke about it. He went on a podcast being like, yeah, of course I got offered. I turned it down. And they, oh, I'm sorry, it's craziness. Because Pete Davidson is there. Pete Davidson. And everybody's like, well, if anyone is gonna do it, it can be Pete Davidson because his dad died in 9 11. Like Saudi Arabia is like extremely 911 coded. And so he's just, he's just getting what's rightfully his. It's sort of like, you know, payback almost. But Pete Davidson made it a big story. And then Shane Gillis went on a podcast being like, it's so crazy. Like, they offered me money. I said no. They came back offered even more money. He was like, it's so much money, but, like, I'm not doing it. Him and Mark Marin.
Claudia
I send you Mark Barons.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. They talked about how, like, they were both offered and like, it was kind of like a no brainer. And they were shook when like all their comedy friends, like everyone, the biggest were, were doing it.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
And if anybody has two tickets to the Riyadh Comedy Festival this weekend, please let me know. I'm looking for two GA tickets.
Claudia
You'd like to go?
Jackson Claude
Yeah. How much would someone have to pay you?
Claudia
There's actually like no amount. Like, I can't be bought in that sense.
Jackson Claude
I can be bought. I'm just like, not really down to go to Saudi Arabia.
Claudia
Right. Like you have to go.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, right. Oh, that for sure. Oh. And so. Oh, and it's all, it's all about, like, free speech because they don't have free speech there. And they actually just killed a journalist. It's like a really kind of hot button area right now.
Claudia
Tim Dylan was doing it and then they canceled him for something that he said on his podcast.
Jackson Claude
Okay. So he was talking about it. And I thought Tim Dylan was joking.
Claudia
That's what he said on like, I saw a reel. But like, everything he says is so dry humor. I don't know if he's joking or not 1000%.
Jackson Claude
That's why I thought the festival wasn't real.
Claudia
No, but his participation was real at one point. And I guess now he's really not going. And it's because, like, they were monitoring what he was saying on his podcast about it. I guess he like, mentioned the slavery and he's out.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. Got it. So, like, we can't talk about Slavery. So it's just really crazy.
Claudia
Yeah, really crazy. But everyone's who was going is still going.
Jackson Claude
It's happened already. I think it was this weekend. I don't know if it's over yet.
Claudia
Weeks long thing, you know, comedy festivals, like, they're. It's like. Right.
Jackson Claude
Because I saw a video of Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle already there.
Claudia
Yeah. No, but I. When I last, like just for laughs, it's like a month long thing, you know, New York Comedy Festival.
Jackson Claude
Right.
Claudia
It's like a season almost.
Jackson Claude
It's like weeks long. Yeah. People are really mad at Bill Burr. That's like where I've seen the most hours. I don't know because like Bill. I feel like Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, they're like, they do social, cultural commentary. A lot of it is political. So you would expect them to take like some sort of like moral high ground. I was watching people on TikTok talking about it's like not shocking that Kevin Hart would do it. There's like nothing Kevin Hart wouldn't do. Like, he's just sort of like, pleases everyone, you know, he's really not a polarizing figure. He's just like, can he talks about like family stuff. Like it's not. I. I don't know that he has to edit his set that much because it seems pretty Saudi Arabia friendly. Just in general. Dave Chappelle and Bilber, who are like these more cultural commentators, I imagine they're limited in their material because I don't think most of it would fly.
Claudia
Interesting.
Jackson Claude
I. But I think it's more so people were saying like, I think they expected like this to fly under the radar much like a lot of the other sort of like Saudi Arabian cultural events recently. And it's really not because comedy is so political. And I think a lot of like the consumers of comedy are sort of like intellectual.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
People who like, wouldn't let this expect.
Claudia
Better from their faves. But also I think some comedians kind of like, you know, have this moral superiority. You're commentating on everyone beneath you and everything that's stupid and ugly. And when you put yourself like on a pedestal like that, like then, yeah, you're not immune to.
Jackson Claude
That's really what it is. Totally.
Claudia
But not all comedians like, do that sort of. Kevin Hart, right? Like Kevin Hart. I wouldn't think of him as like a condescending comedian. So like.
Jackson Claude
No, I wouldn't think of him as even so much like comedy's really not even so much comedy anymore as it Is like cultural commentating, like on what's the state of the world state of affairs. And Kevin Hart doesn't really do that. He just, like, tells funny stories about his kids. Oh, Sebastian Maniscalco was on there.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Not my boyfriend.
Claudia
Not your boyfriend. You'll have to call.
Jackson Claude
But he also. He's like a Kevin Hart. He just talks about, like, funny stories, like, not really. His comedy would probably be safe in Saudi Arabia anyways.
Claudia
Yeah. Different strokes for different folks.
Jackson Claude
Totally.
Claudia
Our next story, some sports news. Ryder Cup 2025. Europe wins the cup. Despite a last minute US comeback, Europe has kept the Cup. One thing that I didn't know about the Ryder cup, so you have to win 14 and a half points because there's 28 points total. So in order to win, be the winner. 14 and a half. But if you win 14 points and you already had the cup, you keep the cup. So if you're tied, like, yet the Europe keeps the cup. So Shane Lowry got the 14th point and they're celebrating and Zach was like, it's over. I'm like, okay, you could put on football. And then people are like, are you still? Then you guys were like, did you see that? And I'm like, wait, I thought it's over. I felt like whenever you hit the point, it's done. But no. So the score wound up being 15 to.
Jackson Claude
I don't know. They really made this scoring so unnecessarily confusing.
Claudia
13.
Jackson Claude
And Ben was explaining it to me. I'm like, you're not speaking English. And when I was there, I wasn't understanding anything. When I was watching on tv, I wasn't understanding anything. And then, like, the third day was more like a little bit easier to understand because everybody was just like, one on one.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Not like a foursome. Like, it was so confusing.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
And a half a point. I was so confused.
Claudia
No, it was confusing. The Americans, like, really stunk. So bad.
Jackson Claude
Oh, my God, they were so bad. It's like, it wasn't like one person brought the team down. Like, everybody just decided to, like, do their worst.
Claudia
No. And then on the last day, like, everyone's coming through and, like, playing strong, but it's like, why can't you just do that on the first day? That's like when I watch a football game and nothing happens in the first three quarters. And then at the end, it's like this race and it's like, they don't have enough time. I'm like, you just had 45 minutes and you did nothing.
Jackson Claude
And, like, Streis and DeChambeau, like, stunk it up, like, probably made the biggest duty ever, like, so bad. And they were like, he came back at the end, and he actually had a historic comeback. It was the largest comeback.
Claudia
He was, like, down by five.
Jackson Claude
Five in Ryder cup history since, like, 1979. I'm like, that's not a slay. Why were you down by five?
Claudia
Yeah, that was rough. But I do feel like. And not to, like, point fingers at specific players, but some players, you know, more because they're the best in the world.
Jackson Claude
Scotty Scheffler, like, was turning like a big turd.
Claudia
Where was number one? Like, it wasn't giving number one energy. And it's great that he was able to beat Rory on day three, but, like, you win every championship, every cup, every match that you play and you win, and, like, when it's time to play for your country, like, the energy is not there.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, that wasn't cool, especially because I think they all wanted it so badly. Of course they're competitive. Guys are professional athletes. There's, like, a level of, you know, you want to win. But I was watching a lot of their interviews, and almost all of them got really choked up. And the interviewer each time was like, why are you getting so emotional? Like, why is this so important to you? They were just like, I love my country so much. Like, they wanted it so bad. They had the heart. They didn't have the skill. Like, what in the world thing is.
Claudia
That they have the skill? Because I know rankings wise, most of these players are ranked higher than the European players, but, like, Europe just, like, has that camaraderie and, like, the teamwork like, that. I wasn't seeing the teamwork that. And that's what makes the dream work.
Jackson Claude
And, like, day one and day two were so bad. And clearly, like, they all got on a group text on Saturday night being like, we have to do better, nobody. And they did, but it was too little, too late.
Claudia
They played well Sunday solo. Like, the issue is that they don't play as a team, and I think that comes up in previous cups, and then it's not expected that you win when you're away because of all the heckling. And, like, you really get a home court advantage when it's in your country. So, like, this was their time to win, especially because huge loss. They are the better players, and they're on their turf, and the Europeans are getting, like, verbally abused by the crowd. Like, that really messes with your head. And so they had all the the energy going into it. And so, like, why didn't they win?
Jackson Claude
Does this happen every year?
Claudia
Every two years. But every two years there's also. What's the President's Cup? And that's the US Players versus the Canadian players. So, like, there's always something.
Jackson Claude
Are there, like, big Canadian golfers?
Claudia
Yeah. Michelle Money's husband, Soleil.
Jackson Claude
Michelle Money.
Claudia
And when I watched it on full swing, like, it wasn't as much of a wash as you would think. Like, there.
Jackson Claude
Right.
Claudia
There was a game to be played.
Jackson Claude
Okay, okay.
Claudia
Okay.
Jackson Claude
Okay.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Maybe we could beat the Canadians.
Claudia
I wonder if there's a cup that's Europeans versus Canadians. I'm sure.
Jackson Claude
I don't think they would leave us out like that.
Claudia
It's all they tell me. Everything is not about me.
Jackson Claude
But what if it is? So a lot of the drama at the cup had to do with, like, the fan behavior, reactions. Rory McElroy at one point turned around and pointed, shut the fuck up.
Claudia
He was like, you. Fuck you. Yeah, Rory.
Jackson Claude
It was giving, like, I. Kim Richards, like, with the finger in the face. Shut the fuck up. It was so crazy.
Claudia
Like.
Jackson Claude
And then he did a press conference. He was just being like, I agree. Like, the Americans were out of control. Like, we needed to be, like, a little bit more, like, tempered in our reactions. But he was living for being the victim. Like, in the press conference, just talking about, like, how unacceptable it was. Like, chill, okay? Chill. We're having fun.
Claudia
Yeah, but I'm of two minds. One, like, I know the Europeans heckle the Americans when we're in Europe. Do they use expletives? I need to know. I need context. Like, what level was this jeering at compared to, like, what happens in every Ryder cup to, like, I'm so.
Jackson Claude
Also, it's worth mentioning, by the way, because I was there. Not everyone was American. I saw so many Irish flags, so many British flags.
Claudia
They weren't sharing. They weren't taunting.
Jackson Claude
No. But maybe they could have been contributing to the toxic environment, too, by the way.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Just saying.
Claudia
But also, then people were, like, hurling insults about his wife, and she was there the whole time. And, you know, he has, like, a little bit of a scandalous personal life. And so they were, like, making fun of.
Jackson Claude
What was it again?
Claudia
He, like. They separated. He was, like, rumored to be dating that Republic golf reporter who is on full swing. She's a commentator on full swing. She's talking about him all the time. It's, like, really crazy. And then he got back together with his wife, and they have A daughter, but he, like. The daughter was young when he, like, left, and then he came back. But they're happy family. Leave them alone. They were. The fans are making fun of Shane Lowry's weight.
Jackson Claude
Oh, my God. You mean Luke Combs. I kind of loved Shane Lowry. He was so cute.
Claudia
He was really cute. As I said, he's usually there as, like, Rory's plus one. They always play together. They're, like, the best of friends. But he was, like, the mvp. I mean, Tommy Fleetwood was the mvp, of course, but, like, Shane Lowry really, like, stepped his up.
Jackson Claude
Okay.
Claudia
Shalissi his Shane Lao Russi.
Jackson Claude
I love that for him.
Claudia
Yeah. No, there was a great showing for them, despite all the hate. And of course, Justin Rose, who got, like, the first, I guess for the last day they played them in BET in order of who's playing best because, like, the Americans couldn't afford to lose one.
Jackson Claude
Right?
Claudia
So Cam Young go off king number one. Justin Rose, who's the oldest player in the competition by far.
Jackson Claude
He's Whitney's husband, 45.
Claudia
He crushed even though he lost to Cam Young. Like, he crushed the whole weekend.
Jackson Claude
Right, right, right. And John Rom lost.
Claudia
John Rom lost even though he's, like, really solid. I feel like you want to try on your team, John Rambam. Justin Rose has Cavaliers, and I just feel like that's really important to know about him.
Jackson Claude
That is definitely a really good thing.
Claudia
To know in case that comes up.
Jackson Claude
In trivia night at date night with your husband tonight.
Claudia
So, all in all, like, you don't.
Jackson Claude
Happen to know what type of dogs Justin Rose has, do you, sweetie? Oh, I do. It's a Cavalier.
Claudia
Yeah. Cavalier.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, Cavalier. Oh, no.
Claudia
It was, like, kind of an embarrassment. I felt like, for the first Ryder cup that I watched, like, as a present individual. Like, I got the worst one.
Jackson Claude
No, it's definitely annoying that we lost. Annoying that there was, like, drama and, like, maybe we didn't, like, put our best foot forward as Americans. I just do feel like Rory was, like, blowing it up, like, and I. I'm not doubting his experience. Like, I saw the videos. The person who threw the drink at his wife, like, seriously deserves to never leave his house again. Like, seriously jail. I just feel like he really, like, blew it up to sort of, like, amplify the stereotype that, like, Americans are rowdy and, like, Europeans are classy. Like, it was just annoying.
Claudia
I would agree with you, but did you see that video that went viral of him, like, talking about how much he loves this country?
Jackson Claude
Oh, my God. I Did about how his wife is American and his daughter's American and it's the most amazing country in the world. And it was honestly giving patriot. You're right.
Claudia
I take it was giving patriots. So I don't think he's just like rushing to hate America.
Jackson Claude
No, you're right.
Claudia
He lives here, so I'm holding space for both things. And now I'm like, neutral on Rory. You're right again. Because I thought that was like, really big. Especially. I don't know when he said it, but it seems like he said it recently and he's going up against America. And he said like, this is. This is the greatest country in the world. Like, there's so much opportunity for citizens success if you work hard. Like, really beautiful way to speak about the country.
Jackson Claude
Agreed. It should be on like a commercial for the U.S. it was nice. You're right. I take it back.
Claudia
So net. Net. I'm still good with Rory.
Jackson Claude
Me too. And ever since I sat next to him on a plane.
Claudia
Did you?
Jackson Claude
No. You know, I love to like, make things up randomly. Just live for literally no reason. And one time I went to Scottsdale for like a comedy show like you. Years ago, when I got home, I just like, decided to lie. And Scottsdale is like a big golf destination. And everybody on my flight was like, on a golf trip. So I was like, oh, there was this guy and I was sitting in first class, so I was like, there was this guy next to me who's like a big golfer. His name was like, Rory McElroy.
Claudia
What did he say?
Jackson Claude
And I pronounced it wrong. I was like, Roy McIlroy or something. And he was like, you're lying. And it was the first time I ever just like, randomly lied for no. And I just remember because I've done like a million lies since then. Like, and if they're not lies, I don't tell. Like, keep them forever. I tell them like five minutes later. And that one stuck with me because it. Yeah, it definitely infected me with like the lie bug. And I was just like, yeah, he was super nice. He was like on a golf trip with his boys.
Claudia
That's really funny. Also, Rory, like, it's very. Like in the documentary, he's like a big face of the pga. Like, he was very anti live, very principled about that. You know, he would not have done the Riyadh Golf Festival.
Jackson Claude
Who went live?
Claudia
Who went live? Bryson.
Jackson Claude
And like a big one. No, somebody huge went Phil. And now they've. Now they've merged, right? Like now it's Not a big deal.
Claudia
Yeah. Now they merged and, like, Rory just, like, I felt bad for Rory because he's like. He stuck his neck out, like, you know.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
Defending pga. And now they've merged. It's so confusing. Phil Mickelson, he was the biggest one.
Jackson Claude
And also John Rom. John Rom.
Claudia
Dustin Johnson.
Jackson Claude
Dustin Johnson. And Brooks Koepka.
Claudia
Brooks Koepka.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. Damn.
Claudia
Very interesting stuff. You've got to watch full swing.
Jackson Claude
I kind of do.
Claudia
Yeah. Are you ready for our next story?
Jackson Claude
What number?
Claudia
Number three.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
Wedding bells for Selena and Benny. Selena Gomez married Benny Blanco this weekend in Santa Barbara, California. She shared some photos of themselves with a little.
Jackson Claude
She did.
Claudia
Yeah. With this.
Jackson Claude
I only saw Benny's.
Claudia
You didn't see all these pictures with the filter.
Jackson Claude
Hold on. I only saw Benny posting, like, a really cute mirror picture where she looked so pretty.
Claudia
She posted, like, all these artsy photos. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jackson Claude
Okay. Like, give us less. I just want to see, like, the ceremony.
Claudia
There is very little that she's giving.
Jackson Claude
Except she took pictures of Polaroid pictures.
Claudia
She is sharing her look, which I think is a really beautiful look and not.
Jackson Claude
Yes.
Claudia
It is not what you would have expected. No.
Jackson Claude
It's very old Hollywood. Like, hair parted to the side. She looks gorgina.
Claudia
She does. And I just want to commend them on getting married, because I think agreed that when they got engaged, I thought it was just an engagement to be engaged and to stay engaged. And I didn't think they would get married. And if they did, it wouldn't be this quick and, like, you know, just traditional, timely. And we need to add them to the list of celebrities who actually got married.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. Celebrities love to get married for press, for just something to do. I'm sorry. They love to get engaged for press. They love to get engaged for literally, just, like, an activity, something to do for attention and new jewelry. Yeah.
Claudia
But to get married is a really big thing, and so congratulations.
Jackson Claude
Very few, like, take it seriously.
Claudia
Congratulations on getting married.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. That's a huge step when you're engaged. We love that you. She literally looked so gorgeous. I need to see more.
Claudia
Yeah. A lot of subs were there. People said that Taylor Swift was there.
Jackson Claude
Was there.
Claudia
And she was also at the game last night.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. Well, when you have a plane, like, you could do whatever you want.
Claudia
Yeah. But that's like a late night. And then. Where did they play? They played the Ravens.
Jackson Claude
Baltimore.
Claudia
They played him. So she flew.
Jackson Claude
That's cross country.
Claudia
But then she wasn't seen at the game.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. I think she's taking this stalker situation, like, hella seriously. And so she snuck in through a back door.
Claudia
Or she just, like, really wants Life of a Showgirl release day to be, like, massive. Maybe she. I, like, I don't know. Maybe she changed her hair or she.
Jackson Claude
Was hungover from the wedding, like. No, but you just wanted to roll in. In leggings.
Claudia
No, I think no matter what happened, she wasn't going to be seen. Because she hasn't been seen.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
And she's not been seen anywhere outside Game. We didn't even see her, like, at the wedding. I feel like she's incognito for some reason. Maybe stalker, but, like, maybe Life of a Showgirl.
Jackson Claude
I really feel like it's stalker, actually.
Claudia
But then she has to promote this album in four days.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, we know she's doing Jimmy Fallon. We know she's doing Graham Norton. And that's it for now.
Claudia
Yeah, we'll see. Very exciting. T minus four days to Life of a Showgirl.
Jackson Claude
T minus four days. And all we've gotten is we just got a new commercial, like, for a Target exclusive.
Claudia
Oh, I mean, I can't with the vinyls.
Jackson Claude
And then I know it's another vinyl. And when it comes to the free poster, like. Okay, I'll get it.
Claudia
Pink Spritz Lemonade.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Claudia
That's Skinny Confidential.
Jackson Claude
Literally.
Claudia
That's literally what this vinyl was called.
Jackson Claude
Like, come on, give it. I know. She's, like, obviously dealing with something.
Claudia
No, just four days. Just give it four days, and you're about to get, like, a whole new work of art, you know?
Jackson Claude
That's, like, so underrated. Is that this week? Friday.
Claudia
Friday.
Jackson Claude
Oh, my God. Not only do we have Yom Kippur, we also have Taylor Swift's new album. What a crazy week.
Claudia
Yeah. Lot can happen a week.
Jackson Claude
So true. I feel like one week from today. Well, first of all, we'll finally be able to talk again. Thank God.
Claudia
That's not really how it works. Like, we're meant to be doing better, you know, in earnest.
Jackson Claude
No, it's true. We're at least, like, supposed to try. I had a crazy.
Claudia
We're supposed to try so as I will never share who the weenie was, even though most of you guessed it.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, and I'm glad you all were thinking what we were thinking, but we.
Claudia
Didn'T have to say, I guess that's me sharing. I apologize. No, no, that's not me.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, well, I saw people guessing, like, mostly the same person. I also saw a couple people guessing Stassi Schroeder. And just know, like, we would literally never so.
Claudia
Or Meghan Markle. And no, that was wrong.
Jackson Claude
Like, no, I had nothing to do with that. No, the other person.
Claudia
Yeah, it was her.
Jackson Claude
Claudia.
Claudia
We're supposed to be good.
Jackson Claude
I am good.
Claudia
Yeah, we are. We know what's best. We know what's in our hearts is goodness. Are you ready?

Claudia
Thank you, Cozy.
Jackson Claude
Turt, are you okay? You made, like, a weird sound.
Claudia
A sound.
Jackson Claude
Okay. You looked like you were, like, going into labor or something.
Claudia
No, I was just undoing my drawstring. I'm wearing a belly band, which has mostly been helpful to support. Yeah. In the last 24 hours. But just between that and my pants. It's just a lot.
Jackson Claude
It's a lot.
Claudia
It's just a lot. It's feeling.
Jackson Claude
I hear you.
Claudia
It's feeling tight, but thank you, Cozy Turd. I love to lay in my cozy earth with my cozy turtle.
Jackson Claude
What's better? I like to lighten my cozy earth with my cozy shirt.
Claudia
Our next story, a little fashion news. Meryl Streep, or should I say Miranda Priestley meets Anna Wintour while in character during groundbreaking Milan Fashion Week exchange. So as we know, devil wears Prada 2 is filming. Milan Fashion Week is going on. Miranda Priestley arrived at real Milan Fashion Week and she met real Anna Wintour, who Miranda Priestley is based off of. And it's all very meta. And it's cool that they're using, like, real fashion shows to film for the movie.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. So, like, for the most part, I have hated how this movie is being spoiled for us. Like, all the paparazzi pictures. It's so annoying. Having said that, I don't feel that way about this because I love this. I love when movies or TV shows, like, film at the real life event, like when Entourage filmed at the Emmys, like, loved. It's really so cool. And for this, for then us to get this moment of Miranda Priestley and Anna Wintour. And there's always been, like, whispers of like.
Claudia
Well, it's like, how does Anna feel about her portrayal in Devil Wears Prada? Because that's really how she will mostly be remembered for people who don't know her, who haven't, who don't have the pleasure of interacting, working with Ms. Wintour. That's how we see her is as Miranda Priestley. And you know what? I do feel like it's pretty on the nose. Like, maybe it's harsh, but I think she's a harsh lady.
Jackson Claude
And I think it's accurate. And I think if there ever was a time where she didn't like it, maybe that was true. But she's learned to embrace it because it's such a cultural, like a beloved character. And it really, at this point, only benefits her to lean in. And I feel like for many years we all wondered, like, how did Anne Hathaway's life, like, was that affected, like, about her ability to, like, get into fashion or even ever be in vogue due to her participation in the movie. Same with Meryl Streep. Same with Emily Blunt. And so now I feel like it's good. But I do feel like there was a couple of years where Adam was definitely annoyed and, like, blacklisted them from stuff.
Claudia
I wish I was, like, a present person on this earth during that time. Like, you.
Jackson Claude
And, like, did they go to the.
Claudia
Met Gala that year?
Jackson Claude
They were promoting the movie.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
Had they gone to the Met Gala previously? Meryl, this.
Jackson Claude
That.
Claudia
Because I feel like. I feel like Meryl would get the brunt of it. Right?
Jackson Claude
Yes. I came out in 2006. 2006. Let's say 2006 and 7. 2006 and 2007. Met Gala. Anne Hathaway. Okay, wait, what year is this? Anne Hathaway's Met Gala looks through the years. Thank you. SheKnows.com 2023-2018-2015-2014, 2013, 2010. 2009 was her debut. So three years after the movie. It feels like maybe Anna had time to get over it.
Claudia
Yes, but it also feels late. But I also feel like these days, Mecca invites are so willy nilly. Whereas it used to be hard, it was harder. Like, just because you were in LA Enchanted doesn't mean that you can come to the gala.
Jackson Claude
Okay, now years, Meryl Streep.
Claudia
Does Meryl Streep go to the Met Gala?
Jackson Claude
Definitely no. Oh, my God. Five celebrities who surprisingly never been to the Met Gala. But this was written in 2022. But, yeah, she hadn't been. She's never. As of 2025, she has never attended the Met Gala. That's definitely a choice. Or has she been blacklisted?
Claudia
Right. Maybe this year will be her first year. It'd be cool if they were filming, but it's not till May, so it probably won't be included.
Jackson Claude
Yeah, but this is cool that they use real Fashion Week.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Other than that, like, please keep the footage to yourselves. I want to be surprised. Like, can we enjoy anything these days? No, we can't.
Claudia
Yeah. It's just also, like, I'M wasting my excitement on these moments when it's like.
Jackson Claude
I want we wasted the good surprise on you.
Claudia
Yeah. When I want to be excited about the movie, not feel like I've already seen it, like, through pictures.
Jackson Claude
I scroll right past those stories. And I don't want you to ever, besides for this one, share them as stories on the toes.
Claudia
I really do. Because also, everyone has a guest cameo. I think also there's a lot of, like, fake stuff being filmed to throw people off, which is a good tactic. But, like, I'm not watching that closely.
Jackson Claude
They did that with the summer I turned pretty. There was, like, a scene.
Claudia
What's his name? Gavin.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. Jeremiah and Belly. And she, like, looks to be married, like, in a wedding dress. It was actually really smart. Yeah. That's what you have to do these days. Like, remember when Sex in the City ruined, like, the Aiden thing? It's so annoying.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackson Claude
Good thing that show stunk and nobody cared, but still.
Claudia
Yeah. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Which is some new couple news that I think you're gonna be excited about.
Jackson Claude
I am. My coccydinny is flaring up, which means I'm ready for the fifth and final story.
Claudia
Your body.
Jackson Claude
My body. My body usually tells me, like, when we're ready for the fifth and final.
Claudia
Usually it's like Bruno jumping up.
Jackson Claude
Right.
Claudia
Our fifth and final story. Hot new couple alert. Madeline Klein was caught making out Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark in a steamy new snap. So Madeline Klein from Outer Banks, you know, darling of the film industry.
Jackson Claude
Stose's ex.
Claudia
Young Hollywood Pete Davidson's ex.
Jackson Claude
Yeah. She really has, like, a perchalicious roster.
Claudia
Just a gorgeous girl.
Jackson Claude
She's so gorgeous.
Claudia
Was caught making out with a prince. The princess of Greece and Denmark. His name is Constantine Alexios. He's 26, she's 27. He's also, like, very handsome. He's not just a prince. No.
Jackson Claude
He's so hot.
Claudia
He's a handsome prince.
Jackson Claude
Okay, so much to unpack. First of all, I feel like when you've really kind of scorched the young Hollywood eligible bachelor list, like, the only place you go naturally next is royalty overseas. And I love that she's going Greece to Denmark. You know, I have no notes. This is such a slay.
Claudia
Sophie Turner. Pellegrino.
Jackson Claude
Yep. I thought the same thing.
Claudia
Yes. Such a sleigh. Like, what can be said? She. I think Dumois had the picture. They said the people's princess, which, no.
Jackson Claude
Literally, she could be the next Grace.
Claudia
Kelly, keep going already.
Jackson Claude
In a very small way, she already is.
Claudia
No, but, like, you can't really be without, like, marrying royalty, you know? Like, no.
Jackson Claude
Even if they don't get married, having a royal connection in your dating history is such a chic thing. Like, years from now, when they say, oh, she used to date a prince, like, it's so cool.
Claudia
It is. But I think. And she'll always have that because we'll always have this, and it will always be a notch in her belt. But there are ways to make the notch even bigger, Maybe multiple notches and.
Jackson Claude
Right.
Claudia
I don't, like. I want to see this flourish, you know? I mean, 26 is a little young, but maybe he's a mature 26.
Jackson Claude
I mean, when you grow up in royalty, like, you actually grow up really quickly. I'm not joking.
Claudia
You grow up fast.
Jackson Claude
I also think, like, what I'm trying to think of, like, a comparison, like, to celebrities or people we know who have, like, that royal connection, one that's not so obvious. Like Diane von Furstenberg. Right. She's, like, royal.
Claudia
Yeah. Carol Radswell.
Jackson Claude
I was just gonna say Carol as well, but she's not royal. She's a Kennedy connected.
Claudia
Yeah, but then there's a Kennedy that's a princess or a Carol. I don't know. No one even knows. They're just.
Jackson Claude
Yeah.
Claudia
Comes from. You're just attached to royalty. That is good.
Jackson Claude
They're just, like, American royalty.
Claudia
No, there's a princessness in there. Oh, yeah.
Jackson Claude
Carol said she, like, technically was a princess.
Claudia
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jackson Claude
Love this. This is so elevated. Like, nobody. And she's, like, a part of that crew. Right. She has just outgrewed the crew. Like, no one's on her level. No one's doing this.
Claudia
No one's doing this.
Jackson Claude
I love it. I love it.
Claudia
They could keep, like, circling the dream with Austin Butler, like, right.
Jackson Claude
Oh, my God. Austin Butler's, like, vomiting. He's like, you will never be a prince. No matter how many accents you fake, you will never be royalty.
Claudia
Maybe you could play one.
Jackson Claude
Sure. In a movie. Maybe you could play Prince Alexios of Greece and Denmark in the movie about his life with Madeline Klein.
Claudia
Yeah. Prince Constantine Alexios. Remember the name.
Jackson Claude
Literally the name on everybody's lips is also Madeline Klein. Slay. I love this for her.
Claudia
Yeah. This is a major slay. Sleigh of the day, if you will.
Jackson Claude
New segment. Sleigh of the day. I really like that. Jot it down.
Claudia
Okay. I have my. My thing here.
Jackson Claude
You're what? Your cup.
Claudia
My. No, no, my notepad.
Jackson Claude
Sleigh of the day.
Claudia
It's buried. I haven't been note taken like I was. This page only says one thing.
Jackson Claude
What does it say?
Claudia
Spencer Pratt.
Jackson Claude
What about it?
Claudia
Because we were having a conversation and you. You were like, wait, I want to talk about Spencer Pratt. And we wanted to finish our conversation, so I wrote it down so that we wouldn forget slay of the day. Let's see.
Jackson Claude
Let's see if it catches on.
Claudia
Yeah.

On comedy, politics, and Saudi Arabia controversy:
“I think a lot of like the consumers of comedy are sort of like intellectual people who like, wouldn't let this — expect better from their faves.”

“When you’ve really kind of scorched the young Hollywood eligible bachelor list, like, the only place you go naturally next is royalty overseas.”
