A
Good morning, millennials.
B
Welcome back to the toast and Happy Wednesday. That's right. It's don't forget to hump someone you love. And speaking of girlies, that I never forget.
A
I could never forget to hump someone that I love.
B
Last name Foley. First name Jacqueline.
A
Hey, Turtle. Happy Wednesday. Our third to last show of the week, but who's counting? It's unfortunate that we are pen pals today because you can't see my outfit. Because if you could see my outfit, you would be gooped and gagged. You would seriously be in shock. And I know, like, you see the top half of me. So you're like, wearing a sweater. Claudia. I'm wearing wide leg blue jeans.
B
You're kidding.
A
I'm wearing wide leg blue jeans because we have this, like, new sponsor of our. And they were jeans, like, weirdly, aren't too long on me. They, like, fit and they're like, really cozy. And it's the most ordinary outfit, but it's extraordinary shortening. When I walked into the kitchen, Zachary jaw hit the floor. Claudia. He gave me a hug.
B
He like, I think, like, oh, my God, he couldn't get over.
A
He's like, you just look, like, so cute.
B
Like, oh, my God, I need. See, you need to wear those shoes when I'm with you.
A
Next, I give off different energy. I'm going to post like, she's a.
B
Perfect doll American Girl.
A
He literally. And by the way, like, I walk. I'm always wearing something he never really like, you know, stops. I could get a haircut. He wouldn't really know. And he was gooped and gagged in.
B
A pair of blue jeans. Is goop worthy. And gag worthy, honestly.
A
And they're like light wash.
B
I'm shocked.
A
It's shocking. I'll post a picture to my Instagram story, but I just need to set the scene. Like, if I am giving off different energy today, it's because I'm just an ordinary girl. Sometimes I'm lazy. I get bored.
B
If I'm giving up different energy, it's because I was up all night being tortured by my husband. You ever been there before?
A
I was up all night as well. We should have texted.
B
Yeah, and by up all night, I mean, like, these days that's 1045. Yeah. Which is so late for me. So late for me. But let me tell you, let me set the scene. Okay. My last call of the day was 6 to 7:30. Yeah, that's right. Just a board meeting with the fellow board members of the Mark Schoenwetter Holocaust. Education foundation. We've got some big end of year plans. And if anybody listening is particularly wealthy and wants to donate about $10,000 or more to, for, for a donation match, feel free to reach out to me. But that's not the point. So me and Ben had this plan. I'm like, okay, so we'll have dinner together at 7:30. Ben was done working. He went to the kosher grocer. He was making my favorite. We call it chicken rocks. It's chicken stir fry and rice. So I would say it's about 7:00. We're almost done with the call. I hear Ben in the kitchen, you know, doing stuff.
A
He t's getting hungry.
B
I am really hungry. But I knew it was because of my call. Like, I knew he'd be eating late. I. I'd preemptively had like an apple and a bag of baked glaze at like 5:30. So he comes in and he's like, oh, I cut my finger. And I'm like, cool. Like, you do that all the time. I've cut my finger. Like, it's so annoying. It doesn't stop bleeding. But, like, get over it. Get back to work. I'm starving. And he was like, being dramatic about it. And he leaves. And then at 7:15 he comes back and he's like, I think I need to go to the hospital. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? He's like, yeah. I called Jacob, who's our doctor, whom we love, and he said I need to go to the emergency room and that I absolutely need a tetanus shot. And so I had to really briefly, you know, wrap up with Mark. I'm like, I'm so sorry. There's actually a medical emergency in my home. Like my first board meeting, and I'm leaving 15 minutes early because my husband slices his finger open. Like, I'm humiliated. And I'm annoyed because I'm so hungry. I'm like, I'm so sorry. My husband just slipped his finger open. Like, gotta go. And they're like, what? I'm like, I'll tell you later. So I hang up. And Ben's like, so mad that I'm not being more, like, caring. I'm so hungry. Like, it's all I can think about. He's like, well, the chicken is done. I'm like, what about the rice? He's like, no, I didn't even get started on the rice. I'm like, you didn't get started on the rice? It was ever a question of whether I was going to the hospital with him. Like, I'm seriously not about to walk into, like, an infectious disease center as a pregnant. So shout out to Bruce, Ben's dad, for meeting him there. But Ben was, like, clearly so annoyed with me. He was really looking for, like, care and concern, and I was just, like, so. So blinded by my own hunger. And I really was annoyed. Like, I was so looking forward to this call being over and having, like, a nice dinner. I hadn't seen Ben all day. Like, catching up. No, he had to go and slice his fucking finger open. And then Ben's dad called me, like, an hour later in the hospital. Like, turns out Ben literally cut off a piece of his finger. A piece of his fingers in my garbage right now.
A
Did you see the wound at any point?
B
No. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm not even, like, a particularly queasy person, but these days, I'm so easily queasy. I said, get away from me describing it.
A
You said Ben cut off a piece of his finger. It's in our garbage.
B
I saw the bloody napkin and, like, that actually made. And I'm still. And I'm laying down in bed, and I felt, like, dizzy. I said, get out. Go. And then when Bruce called me, he's like, no. They said it's a part of the finger that allegedly grows back. I didn't know. What are we, lizards? Like, I didn't even know we did that as humans. As long as it doesn't hit the bone. It's actually 50. 50 if it grows back. But Ben's like, a young.
A
I feel sick when you say hit the bone. That's where I hit my limit.
B
So he was gone. And they. I don't know what they did, but he was not stop complaining when he got home about, like, how they had to get it. It would not stop bleeding. This nurse spent 30 minutes bandaging it up, only for it to completely soak in blood, and she had to start over.
A
What about stitches?
B
It's not a part of. It's like, it's not stitched.
A
There's nothing to stitch together.
B
Yeah. So they just needed it to stop bleeding. It would not stop bleeding. Whatever. He comes back. He has, like, the biggest bulb thing on his thumb.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, my God. He did not stop complaining. And I said, I really was not trying to make everything about myself. Like, you cut your finger. Like, I'm still pregnant. Like, my ailments are more important. And he comes in from the hospital. He, like, wants to sit on the bed and I'm not even like, so crazy.
A
Like, not in your hospital.
B
I know. I'm not someone who's like, outside clothes on the couch. Like, I'm not like, I'm like, don't get in the bed in your outside clothes. But you could sit. I said, get in the shower. Are you. You've just come from the hospital and he's like, I'm not supposed to shower.
A
Like, shower like this.
B
He did. He literally did.
A
With his thumb out.
B
Yeah, he hitchhiked in the shower.
A
You cannot sit on the bed in your hospital clothes.
B
Absolutely not. Pregnant or not pregnant, honestly. So he was just like, slow moving. Then he finally got his dinner at like 9:30 and then he was like, up and he was talking and the thumb was throbbing and he had to put a pillow under his elbow. Like, it was just like, I'm sympathetic for sure because he really did cut it. But like, oh, my God. Can I have. Can I have, like, one moment, you know, of peace?
A
No. I love cooking. But like, that fear now. And I nick my fingers all the time and it's like, it's not good. But nothing ever that I ever considered, like, going to the hospital, right? Like, I don't know, like, not to make it about me. I don't know how I'm going to get back in the kitchen.
B
I know, I know. Especially like, Ben's a pro, and Ben.
A
Is an expert chopper.
B
He was.
A
He's got knife skill. He's got knife skills.
B
He said he was like, rushing. He was just distracted. Like, he was so mad at himself.
A
Make it your fault, by the way. That's him making you fault. You were rushing him.
B
I didn't want to start a fight. But when he got home, he was like, so mad at himself and he was like, I was just like, rushing because you were hungry. And I'm like, I had an hour and a half call you.
A
Let's walk it back.
B
Yeah, let's walk that back. You had 90 minutes to make like, a weeknight dinner. Rachael Ray does it in 30. Like, what?
A
Well, she's on like, drugs, but so true.
B
I was not trying to, like, start a fight with this patient, but he was clearly, like, trying to blame me. It was actually really crazy of him. But I just was being, like, supportive because, like, I really wasn't supportive when the wound was open.
A
So let me ask you, like, when Ben left, like, did you make yourself rice and sit down for dinner? The chicken was warm.
B
Of course I did. It was so good too. And I texted Ben, I'M like, I don't know if this makes you feel better or worse. Like, it's your best batch yet. And I just, I did the microwave rice. Ben would have done it on the stove. The basmati, it would have been better. I did, like, success boil in a bag. Whatever. I suffered. And it was literally one of the best dinners I've ever had. So, like, I actually didn't even care. I was so hungry.
A
Like, I honestly, I feel so bad for him. He has been, like, out of sorts.
B
Yes. He said. He said he thinks that the Lord is speaking to him in some sort of way. Because ever since Friday, like, nothing has gone his way. Like, little things, big things.
A
He thinks, trying to say he thinks lesson of what he thinks the Lord.
B
Is speaking to him and telling him to slow down.
A
Well, I think that's true. I think, like, Ben needs to sit down, take a couple deep breaths, space out his schedule a little bit for, like, the rest of the week, and.
B
Just nobody's so mad. He has two big cooking collabs tomorrow and Friday. Like, huge names in. In the industry, but he's kind of.
A
Out of the game. Well, without a thumb.
B
One of them is baking. So I said, I don't think that it's a big. It's his left thumb too. So I think. I said with the baking one, I think you're okay. Then the other one, I don't know if he's gonna be mad at me for spoiling this, but what the fuck? It's Wishbone Kitchen. Like, he's been trying to get her on the schedule for months. Finally nailed her down. But I said she went to culinary school. Like, she should be doing the chopping anyway. Like, just let her prep and, like, you'll be the talent.
A
Wish didn't hit the bone Kitchen.
B
Yeah. So he's.
A
Well, that's pretty exciting. That's exciting for the community.
B
For the. Oh, speaking of the community, I know that you recorded Good Guys yesterday and I happened to have been in the room for like, 30 seconds. No, actually, like, the first seven minutes I was in the room before, like, Ben's laugh was bothering me so much I had to leave. Like, it was laughing so loud. Something about the reverb in this room. Did you feel it too? Like, did it go to, like, the center of your brain when he left? So loud. So I did hear a little bit of the good guys chatter. I know that the episode is being released tomorrow. I. I heard, you know, quite a bit being said about me. And then when Ben got Home. He said, like, you're gonna love the episode Journey. Like, we talked about you the whole time, so anything you want to share? Like, what. What you guys said?
A
Well, it made me realize because Josh asked me, like, what I'm most excited for, like, in your pregnancy. And, like.
B
Oh, not him making my pregnancy about you.
A
Okay, well, you know, you just need to find an angle. Right. But I'm actually glad he did because I had to think about the question, and I think my answer was really beautiful.
B
Oh, let's hear it. Oh, should I wait till I hear the episode?
A
No, because I know you're not going to listen to it and, like, a lot of it. The other stuff we talk about is, like, all you know. You already know. Yeah. But what I said was I'm really excited to, like, see how you do motherhood so that I can learn from you, like, and be inspired by you. Because you're so, like, I'm always learning from you every day, like, in business and in life. And, like, that's something. Like, I can, you know, take a cue from you when I get to see how you do it, because you're going to be so fantastic.
B
Oh, my God. Are you trying to make me cry? That is literally so nice. Because, you know, like, all I do is learn from you. Like, I just copy everything you do. And she's going to learn from me. Oh, my God. Now, like, the pressure's on to be the best mom I could possibly be. Jackie's watching.
A
Jackie's taking notes. I'm also excited to, like, ride your motherhood coattails because, like, you're such a fun person. You're going to plan such fun things and, like, just have fun engaging stuff going on. And I could just, like, the way you say, like, you're bringing my kids to my house for my daycare and enrichment program. Like, I'm doing the same for, you.
B
Know, it's like, weekdays at Jackie's house, weekends at Tortie's house, at Co Chairs. Yes. And that works for me. That balance two days a week.
A
Yeah. So it was actually a really nice conversation and we had a ball. So that will be out tomorrow. But maybe save it for. Not to, like, you know, ruin their download flow, but save it for next week when we're off. Yeah.
B
Yeah. So we have a Friday is our last regular season seven.
A
We'll call it that. Sure.
B
Episode of the year. We're taking, like, two to three weeks off for Christmas. But have no fear, if you're looking for us, like, there is both subscriber and free content everywhere. Jackie on Good Guys, I just did my episode of the Glee podcast. Patreon Redheads, the red heads. Patreon.com/the toast. Like, there's an infinite amount of content that was just released and that will be continued to be released throughout the end of the year that you will not be without us. Don't worry. We're putting in the work so we could take the time off.
A
Well, yes, the rest of the day. Yesterday, if you felt like you guys out there, like on Instagram and Claudia on FaceTime, if you felt like you didn't hear from me, it was because I was working all day yesterday, vlogging. And I'm working on like the most exciting vlog and piece of content I've ever done. So not to like, tease it too much, but I'm just going to leave it at that because I don't want you guys to be like, sick of it.
B
Let's leave it at two words. Okay? Jai Pennington.
A
Let's leave it at Jai Pennington.
B
You had me at Jai Pennington.
A
So I'm very. I was literally up until the wee hours last night working on this and then Charlie woke up. So it was like, I guess it's kind of good that I didn't go to sleep because I would have had been like, woken up. He's going through a sleep regression. That's just what we'll call it. You know, he's just being. No, like when they, when they're not sleeping well. Like, then I'm googling like 15 months sleep regression and they're like, yeah, that's when I'm like, okay, is there 16 months sleep regression? And actually AI Gemini said, though, there's not a typical 16 month sleep regression. So it actually made me feel more validated. But yes, we are going through a sleep regression right now, which is very hard. Like wake ups in the night that need tending to and 5am Wake ups.
B
Yikes. That's bad.
A
It's. It's really.
B
Not that my sleep is so great, but it's better than that.
A
However, it got me up early enough today to realize that I didn't watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last night because I was so busy working Jai Pennington style, but I had all the time in the world this morning to do it. So we're caught up.
B
We are going to talk about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in an official TV recap at the end of the show. But let me just say this. Like, I don't even Know what? It's going to be a silent recap. I have nothing to share. It was, like, the most boring piece of shit I've ever seen in my life.
A
That's how I felt about last week and this week. I just have a really strong feeling that I want to share, and I know people aren't going to like what I have to say, which is that I stand with Dorit and anyone who is in her way right now. You are in my way. Anyone who was at her wings, I'm with you. So, like, Erica is such a good friend. That moment where Sutton was, like, trying to be a good person was actually really, really sweet. And then later on the, like, we'll dig into that, because that was kind of just a misunderstanding. But, like, I am with Dorit. Get out of our way.
B
I don't think that's so crazy. I feel the exact same way. Like, I'm automatically on her side.
A
And also, like, she's always been one of my favorites, but sometimes my faves air and I have to contend with that. But, like, I really, like, I don't consider myself like an empath because I'm not an annoying person. But, like, I really feel for her through the screen. I feel like I look at her and I feel tired. I feel worn down. I feel angry, and I feel, like, just on edge. And, like, everyone, fuck off. Oh, you said something my way. I under. Like, when she flies at them, like, I feel it.
B
Okay, let's not wait too heavily into the recap since there's not that much to talk about. And we're like.
A
And I'm, like, talking.
B
You're, like, done. And you're done already. So we'll be doing that in the TV recap if you are looking for that. And how are the stories today?
A
They're good. G Faw.
B
Good for a Wednesday.
A
Yep.
B
Love that. Gafa. Our favorite word.
A
That's what it means. Finally we know.
B
Anything else I need to catch you guys up on? Just like, yeah, that whole Ben thing kind of ruined my night. And it's like, all I have to.
A
Share and, like, otherwise. How was the board meeting what you guys do?
B
It was actually. So it was my first board meeting ever, but also with this group. So it was kind of like an intro. Everybody introducing themselves and me introducing myself. And it was legit. Like, we were going through budget. They run, like, a legit operation, and they're like, every time they wanted to do something, they were like, motion to the. And we all. Nobody told me. I was like, I Literally was like, nay. I literally didn't know what to say. It was really legit. So anybody want to second that motion? And then nobody seconded. And I was like, I'll do it. Like a little lost. But there was a big section about like social media. And I had a lot of ideas for the Marc Schoenweiter Holocaust Education foundation social media strategy. So I was excited.
A
Looking. You're looking for $10,000?
B
Well, I'm looking for a lot of money. To be clear. Like, that's not a cap. If you have more than 10 grand to give, like, give it to me. But the end of year is a big time for fundraising because people like are doing their, you know, annual finances. They love a write off. And so they happen to get like a, like a decent amount of donations at the end of the year. So they're looking for somebody to donate like a big amount, 10,000 and up as a match. So they're going to raise 10,000 and this person will match it with their 10,000. Do you know what I mean?
A
Let's do it. I'll go in half with you.
B
Okay, done. But I still wanna raise from other people. Cause like, by the way, the worst. No, no, Jackie, that was my thing on the board call. They were like, well, we need money for this and that. I'm like, I'll do it. I'll write a check. Like, I'll do it. But that's like, not how it's supposed to be. But yes, I agree. The toast will be making a sizable end of your donation. I'm not worried about that. But like the whole point is like, get out in the community, not fund the whole thing yourself.
A
Totally. But let's, let's do it.
B
Yes, we are such a good cause.
A
And of course. And you want to give back at this time of year because like, things get like, so superficial and materialistic and like you like for your soul, you have to give back.
B
Let me tell the board. They'll be so.
A
I'd be proud to do that.
B
Worthy cause for the matching. The other thing I wanted to say was. Oh, and I learned like, I've always known what the foundation does. They basically give grants. So if you're like a public school teacher or a teacher at a school that doesn't have a Holocaust education curriculum, you can apply for a grant and they will get you money. Curriculum, books, trips, speakers, whatever it is. And this year they have reached 75,000 students in 39 different states. And a lot of states, for the first time, they have Reached, like, Alabama and Alaska. This year, the Mark Schroeder Holocaust Education foundation was giving grants in Alabama and Alaska. So it's, like, very worthy. Every dollar goes, you know, and I like that. We're like, we're. We're like the small foundation. Because, I don't know, sometimes you give to the Red Cross and it's like, oh, okay, who's buying a Chanel bag with this? You know? No.
A
And then you see the numbers of, like, how much of your $1 goes towards admin and it's like more than 50% that goes towards admin and the paying people and, you know, the Chanel bags.
B
Yeah.
A
And how much actually goes to the people on the ground? Not. Not that much.
B
That would never happen to the market. Holocaust Education foundation, let me tell you that Excel spreadsheet with, like, profits, losses, budgets. I was, like, shook.
A
Also.
B
You hear the craziest thing, something I learned on my board call last night. I was looking at the budget and it was like, money raised from all these different platforms, and Meadow was one of them. I don't know what compelled me to ask, because, like, that's Instagram and Facebook. I'm like, when you raise money for a charity on Meta, do they take a cut? Like, is there a fee? And she actually told me, like, it started, I think last year, that, yes, there is. I thought that was fucking disgraceful.
A
That's so fucking crazy.
B
Go fund, like, all those. So I said, is there another platform we could use?
A
He doesn't take a.
B
Yes. I said, is there another platform we could use? She's like, everybody take something. And Meta is so convenient and so easy to donate that you're raising more money there anyways. So the fee, like, gets technically covered, but it's fucking disgraceful.
A
That's so crazy.
B
Mark Zuckerberg, not my time person of the year.
A
I thought, GoFundMe is free.
B
It's free to use, but when you withdraw, there's like a user fee. I mean, they need to, like, maintain.
A
That's why they have their. Like, when you make a donation, you can also add a little bit for GoFundMe.
B
I don't know if that covers, like, keeping the lights on, but, like, meta is a full business. This charity is not their business. Right. GoFundMe is their business. Like, I kind of understand why they have to. You're a billion, billion, billion dollar company. This charity thing is like a tiny.
A
Or charitable component, and you're still making it for profit.
B
Isn't that disgusting?
A
That's really.
B
I Am over here as a board member, like, exposing the corruption within the philanthropic community. Because there's quite a bit.
A
There's so much. There's so much. It's so crazy.
B
I have, like, a lot of big plans for the Marshall and Holocaust Education foundation, and a lot of them are hinged on me getting in contact with Mike Bloomberg. So if anybody knows Mike Bloomberg, send him my way. He's extremely philanthropic, and, like, I just feel like the money that I need is, like, pennies to him.
A
No. 100%. And he does, like, a lot of.
B
Cause, like, a Jewish.
A
There's really not a direct line. I can't think of one. Me neither.
B
I almost messaged him on Instagram, and I'm like, okay, calm down. You have been to one board meeting. But it was a powerful meeting. And it's then Ben lost a finger. So that was what happened to me. Like, making change, losing fingers.
A
Big night at the Safer Household.
B
Yeah.
A
So now I think without further ado, we can get into the stories, get into the TV recap, have a little bit of fun. Without further ado to do. To do, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.
B
And I've been waiting for this sponsor because my week in Florida, or three days, was literally brought to you by Hill House Home. So I have long loved Hill House Home for everything besides my addresses.
A
Like, my life is brought to you by Hill House.
B
Everybody loves their nap dresses. That's what they became, like, viral for. That's really, like, the backbone of their company. But for me, like, I've always went for their bathrobes, their pajamas, like, other items, their clothing. I'm not, like, a nap dress girl because I'm, like, short, and I just didn't feel like it was for me. And Jackie literally said, you should wear this nap dress to the party tonight last week, and I wore an app dress every single day that I was in Florida. And not only was I so comfortable, I looked so gorgeous. Like, I looked so feminine. I cannot believe I've been sleeping, literally sleeping on it. Now I know things are popular for a reason.
A
Also, they're more comfortable than sweats.
B
Yes. And they just ordered comfortable for more last night. Like, seriously, pregnant or not, I'm obsessed. And when the day comes that I have a bump. How cute.
A
How cute. I'm obsessed with mine. It's the best thing. Like, as a mom, when you're getting. You want to wear a dress, but you're getting your kids in and out of the car. You don't want, like, your tushy showing, you're bending over, picking up shit off the floor. Like, it's so nice to not have to worry about it. And you're so comfortable, but you look so elegant. You look like you gave so many shits today.
B
Yeah, and me, I just saw a pair of biker shorts on underneath because, like, my nether regions wear sweatpants. My nether regions are just like, you know, on a journey.
A
Did it touch one another?
B

Thank you. Slash chart.

What can I say?
A
Our first story, some crazy news, actually. Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Olivia Ponton.
B
Oh my God, I'm sad. I'm sad. My boyfriend. My boyfriend.
A
She called in the burglary. Burglary at NFL Star wars house.
B
The burglar. Your burglary.
A
Burglary at Joe Burrows house amid dating rumors. So Joe Burrow's house was recently burglarized and TMZ has obtained the police report which states that Olivia Ponton, who is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and she's a TikTok that she was involved in alerting authorities that his home had been broken into in Cincinnati and he was away at a football game in Dallas playing the Cowboys.
B
And so the either they're dating or she was squatting like.
A
Well, here's the information from the police report. She spoke to officers at around 8:15pm the influencer reportedly told cops that when she pulled up to his house, she noticed a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked show. So she called her mom, who then called the police. In a recording of the call obtained by tmz, her mom told the dispatcher Olivia is wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going inside. In a separate call, Olivia reportedly added, quote, someone broke into my house. It's like completely messed up. The police report states that when officers arrived, she told them she's employed by the athlete and then provided a non detailed itemization of what items were possibly missing from the property. So, so many conflicting things here. One, she said someone broke into my house, then she says she's employed by him and then she knows everything that's missing in the room.
B
Yeah, okay, well, yeah, her saying someone broke into my house, actually, I don't think that that's that crazy. Like if you're on the phone, you don't have to explain. I'm staying at this guy's house. Like you just say my house.
A
Like I don't actually. I don't know what it is either.
B
We're just kind of defining the relationship. Like I think that's completely fine. But saying that you're employed by him, that's where I think it's weird. And then yes, having an itemized list of things like are you the housekeeper? Are you the girlfriend? Like both would know and you said you were employed. Now let me tell you why this upsets me because it's hard to see other people living your dreams. One, two. But, like, one of the things I actually really always liked about Joe Burrow was that he was this hotshot football player. Like, biggest name in the draft. I got this huge contract. Like, he's still really good. And he always, like, he never waited until, like, relationships, public relationships. Like, he was always with his high school sweetheart. And she doesn't have social media. They're, like, notoriously private. We know very little about them, but I think we all just assume that, like, they were together. Enter Olivia Ponton. Also, I think the high school sweetheart's name is Olivia as well.
A
Yeah, that's what I saw.
B
So that this makes me, like, a little sad. Like, it was you, you know, you can only hold on to that innocence for so long, of course. But, like, look at Patrick Mahomes, you know, he became a big hotshot. He didn't leave his high school girlfriend, you know?
A
Okay, yes. Let me ask you a logistical question. Because, like, say you break up, you become a big star. You're with your high school girlfriend, but, like, you break up for normal reasons, not because you're a big star. Like, you know, you didn't. You weren't ruined. But, like, a lot of people break up with their high school sweetheart years into the relationship. So like, that happens. And then, like, where else does Joe Burrow meet someone he can't even. He couldn't even meet another regular degular, really, if he wanted to.
B
No, no, for sure. And I wasn't suggesting that, like, after the high school sweetheart, he dates another regular. People with regular fetishes, I also think are a little strange. I just wish you never broke up with the og.
A
I know, but, like, people break up, they grow apart. It's really hard to grow together with your high school sweetheart.
B
It is. But, like, if you're now in your 20s and you're like, you're grown. Do you know what I mean? Like, if you're breaking up now, it's because you're a celebrity.
A
Oh, you think so?
B
Yeah.
A
Not because, like, she has dreams and hope and she's changed.
B
I don't think she has dreams.
A
She's not the girl that she used to be.
B
No.
A
You don't think she has dreams?
B
No, I think she has no hopes for her life.
A
Like, what if, like, he has to be in Cincinnati and, like, she had, like, dreams of living by the Columbus.
B
Yeah, you work it out. Like, that's just any relationship. Two different people merging lives have, like, different. Different ideas for the future.
A
But Sometimes love doesn't conquer all.
B
Yeah, but I like family.
A
What if her family didn't like him?
B
Well, they didn't like him in high school either, but they were able to look past it. Like, I think if you're breaking up at this point, like, it's. It's questionable.
A
I understand. Well, I didn't know about the high school sweetheart. I just see, like, a gorgeous girl and a very successful, handsome guy.
B
Like, I'm sorry, Jackie, he's 28, okay?
A
And. And Ponton is 22.
B
No, who cares? I'm saying you've been with your high school Sweetheart, you're 28. Like, nothing's changed now. It would have changed four or five years ago.
A
Okay, that's fair.
B
Thank you.
A
Well, I was only going to be, like, really excited, aside from the burglary, which is really terrible, and I hope they catch the people who did it and justice is served.
B
And I know the boys who did.
A
It, and we get harsher punishments for parole violators.
B
1,000%.
A
Barring all that. Like, I really ship.
B
Oh, you do? I haven't had.
A
Does the Internet ship?
B
I think everybody's in a state of panic and confusion because, like, this is seriously the craziest way for us to find out. And then, like, her lies are. They're making me giggle a little bit. Like, I wonder if she's thinking, like, police reports become public information. What's the best thing people think I work here. Like, I need to know why she said she was employed by him like that. Because the only person who seriously would be staying at your house when you're not there, that you employ, like, is a housekeeper.
A
Yeah. No, I need to know why she said she was employed by him. Maybe they're, like, working on a big project or something, and now they. If they weren't, they need to start one.
B
Yeah. Like, make a live Ponton Borough law offices because also, like it.
A
You don't, like, you don't want to get the reputation that you lied to the police. Like, as for, like, I don't want.
B
To, like, so true. It's literally a crime. Yeah.
A
That's like, a bad look.
B
Yeah.
A
So I also am holding space for the idea that, like, maybe some of the police report wouldn't be incorrect. I don't know that. Something's, like, getting lost in translation. I'm holding space.
B
Yeah. I'm not. I think she, like, panicked and lied. Like, she's a young girl.
A
Panicked about what? That she's at her boyfriend's house?
B
No, they're, like, talking to the police is scary. Like, and you're also not at home and, like, you're on the phone with your mom, freaking out. And, like, you also have this new hot boyfriend who, like, their trauma. Like. No, I actually feel. I feel the lies. I just, like, want to know how she came up with that one.
A
Like, she didn't do anything wrong. Like, just don't lie to the police. That's just, like, a bad.
B
Scary. To be, like, like, interviewed by the police even if you did nothing wrong. People, like, randomly lie all the time to the police because they're, like, nervous.
A
Okay, that's so cute. Yeah.
B
But, like, have you ever, like, spoken to the police in, like, an investigatory way?
A
No, but I have. Like, I just had a really crazy thought.
B
I have. By the way, you guys know.
A
Oh, right, right, right. Because of the car chase.
B
The bank robbery.
A
The bank robbery. I had a really. I just had a really crazy thought.
B
She was the robber.
A
That, like. Because now, like, maybe she wanted to, like, get the relationship more serious. Have people know. Maybe he's been, like, hiding her because of the high school sweetheart. And, like, now it's out there.
B
She's juicy Smollet the whole thing.
A
That's how she was able to tell them what was missing.
B
She pulled a Jesse. That's so true. I love that. And now we're talking about. Even if, like, it doesn't work out, like, she now is. Has the cloud of having dated literally the guy everyone wants to date.
A
Yeah.
B
Worth it.
A
Yeah. And, like, you know, it's a great way to get your man serious.
B
It's also a great way to get your name out there.
A
Like, the relationship.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
Because otherwise, like, she's staying at his house when he's away at a football game. Like, that's legit. Oh, that's not a booty call. There's no booty.
B
That's a relationship.
A
Yeah.
B
No, I do like it. How old is she?
A
22.
B
Damn. What was I doing when I was 22? Not this. No, not this.
A
Certainly not.
B
Well, anybody be young?
A
I do. I hope they catch the boys who did it. Unless it was a woman.
B
Let her go, Olivia. She deserved it.
A
And no, I don't think that she did it. This girl seems like a nice girl. I don't know her.
B
Yeah, no, I. I don't. Maybe it was the other Olivia. She said, I hear there's a hooker at Joe's house. Let's go get her. But they find that she's not home, so they just staged it as a burglary yeah, that's totally what happened, by the way.
A
There's just, like, there's a lot here.
B
There's a lot to unpack. Yeah. And hopefully we'll just continue to. We'll see if she starts going to games, like, it's over. She starts repping, like, Bengals jerseys. Who's a Bengals fan? Nobody. Unless you're dating Joe Burrow.
A
Like, are you ready for our next story?
B
Actually, a lot of us are Bengals fans, Claudia.
A
Oh, I'm back to that. Super Bowl.
B
Detroit.
A
No, they were in the Super Bowl a few years ago. The year that I gave birth. Yeah. Bengals verse. Lars.
B
Lar. You're right, you're right, you're right.
A
Yeah, I have the poster, and I, like, know the tiger.
B
Yeah.
A
Oh, yeah, we're really good. They're really good.
B
Yeah. No, I was, like, making a joke. And, like, some of these football fans, like, the Detroit Lions fans, like, I get that you have, like, a compelling story, but, like, it's football. Like, save it for someone who cares. Yeah. Like, seriously, don't even bother leaving a comment. Like, I don't care.
A
Are you ready for our next story? I know you're not. You don't give a shit. But, like, it is our journalistic duty to report this.
B
What?
A
Megan Fox has dumped Machine Gun Kelly after she found text messages from other women in his phone.
B
I actually. I don't care. You're 100% right. But I wanted to. I wanted to make it a story so that I can say, like, not only do I not care, but I haven't cared for a really long time. And at one point in my life, like, for the sake of my job, like, I was pretending to care about these two, honestly, and I, like, actually, like, hate them.
A
Okay.
B
So I'm glad you brought it up.
A
I think we knew that. But for those who do care, Megan Fox, who is pregnant, by the way, is done with Machine Gun Kelly after. This would not be a story on the toast if she were.
B
If she wasn't pregnant. I know.
A
And, like, they're done every other day. But she's now done with him again after discovering he was talking to other women behind her back. A source exclusively tells Page Six, when they went away for the Thanksgiving holiday she began, she became suspicious and decided to go through his phone. She found text messages involving other women and decided she was done.
B
I just. And I know this happens, like, not in Hollywood, but I feel like it happens in Hollywood a lot. Like, the breaking up of families, like, for no reason. Like, Mashena Kelly, like, you're a piece of philanderer. That's fine. What are you doing? Getting girls pregnant. Like, stop.
A
No, but, like, why can't you just stop texting? Like you're dating Megan Fox?
B
Like, I think, like, by the way, some people can't. That's fine. But, like, know thyself. Don't get your girlfriend pregnant and, like, let her think you're about to start a family, and now the baby comes from a broken home before it's even born.
A
Yeah, no, but I just, like, don't understand why, like, Megan Fox is just not enough woman for you.
B
Yeah, well, this is like, the same thing with the Barry Keoghan, Serena Carpenter thing. Like, if the only small, very supple silver lining here is, like, if you're watching this and you've ever been cheated on, like, even Megan Fox gets cheated on. Like, it's not a you thing. And you can feel proud, like you're actually a part of an elite group.
A
Yeah, no, but not even that. Like, what's just with these men? Like, she's so obviously, so beautiful, but she's also, like, very dynamic, and they obviously connect. Like, what's missing that you need to go texting random girls? Like, I just don't understand why that's not enough for you. Like, what's wrong?
B
Something is missing within you 1,000%. And, like, it's actually a mental illness when these guys are like, I just can't commit. Like, I just can't monogamy, and they can't literally.
A
Why?
B
How busy are you? Don't you have a job? How many people can you fucking one day?
A
It's just, like. It's so empty. There's nothing there. Like, texting girls or, like, meeting up with girls for, like, a hookup. Like, there's nothing there. Why can't you stop that? I don't understand.
B
Yeah, what's missing in your life? What are you running from and what do you get?
A
You know, you don't gain anything from something like that.
B
No, not at all. You lose a family, you lose.
A
You have everything to lose. Stupid idiot.
B
Stupid idiot. Like, seriously, I know this happens, like, with regular people, too, but, like, seeing it happen to celebrities, it's like, how dumb are you?
A
Yeah, I'm really rooting for her. And she's so strong. Like, I don't know her, but she just seems like a strong person. Strong in herself and whatever. She. Like, if she goes this alone, she'll be okay. If she's with him, she'll. They'll Figure it out. But, like, I. It's like, I feel like I don't worry about her.
B
No, she's tough. She's tough, but that doesn't mean, like, she should have to go through hard things because you're tough. Do you know what I mean?
A
No. 100%.
B
And her X Man bag is still going strong, right, With Sharon Sharner, Sharna Burge.
A
Yeah.
B
That's nice for them because I feel like they were, like, the losing team for a while.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Like, these two loser exes. By the way, did you see that T.J. holmes and Amy Roback's exes are dating?
A
No.
B
They just did their red carpet debut.
A
Oh, wow.
B
Yeah, I saw that happen over the weekend, and I was like, did I know this? I didn't know if I knew that they're exes.
A
I feel like we knew this because. And we talked about it because we were saying how, like, if a question B and B equals C and C.
B
Then A by the transitive property. If you liked Amy Robach, you should like who Amy Robach liked, Right.
A
If you like someone who likes Amy Robach, then you should like someone who likes Amy Robach. Yeah.
B
Yeah. They attended an event together. They looked, like, happy. It's one of my favorite things. It's very. Shania Twain when her husband. I.
A
Twain.
B
When her husband left her for her best friend, she ended up marrying, and she's still married to her husband. Her ex best friends husband, ex husband. Her current.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
I love that wife swap. It's like, you know what? No harm, no foul. Like, let's just call it even. Yeah.
A
And like, thanks for, you know, the matchmaking.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
It's a great way to meet people is to, like, look at your ex. Partners. New partner's ex.
B
Yeah. I think a lot of the times when there's infidelity, one of the people in the infidelity, like, isn't married. That's, like, what makes it hard. Yeah. It's like they don't. They're not leaving anyone behind for you. Oh, I hate when that happens, you know, so forge. But when it does work out, Shania Twain, Amy Robach, like, I love it.
A
Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Also makes it easy on kids, right?
B
Yes.
A
Because then there's not all these, like, I guess because they're like step siblings with each other. They're going into the same homes, like.
B
But they didn't know each other before, I guess.
A
Maybe, maybe not. I don't know.
B
It's actually the same exact thing. For the kids, it's a new new daddy and a new house you can spend time with.
A
Okay. Except you would only have to worry about, like, one blended family, not one on each side.
B
Oh, that's true. It's actually, like, a beautiful polygamist family. That's.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Next. Time magazine, while we wait for Person of the Year, they have announced their Athlete of the Year, and it is Caitlin Clark. The WNBA star has been announced as Time magazine's 2024 Athlete of the Year on Tuesday with a flashy photo shoot to accompany the article that has fans suggesting she branch out in her career. She's showing abs, she's giving quotes. She's, you know, she's Ballin, as they say.
B
I guess this makes sense why yesterday we were saying Simone Biles should have been on the short list for Time Person of the Year. I guess there's a separate list for athletes, and Simone would have been considered for this one.
A
Oh, okay. That's fair. But then Caitlin Clark also could have been considered for person. Like, will there ever be an athlete who's a big enough athlete that they could be on the person list?
B
Yes, 1,000%. And Simone Biles could have. I think Caitlin Clark is a little too national. Time magazine's Person of the Year. It's like a global thing, like, and between the Olympics, like, as an athlete, that's kind of like the only global stage I think, for. Unless you're like, World cup, kind of. So I actually don't think Caitlin Clark would have even been on the short list for Time Person of the Year. I just. I think it's, like, too American.
A
Yes.
B
However, Simone could have.
A
I think this is a fantastic choice. And even knowing that, like, Simone, if she was on the short list, she also would have been really good choice. However, she's a good choice most years. And this was really Caitlin Clark's year. Like, she changed sports. The shoes, the girls, the hoops.
B
She has also, like, acted the entire time with such grace, like a true role model for young women. I think that there's been a lot of things thrown at her. People, like, love to come at her for different things, and they love to say, like, the WNBA is having a moment not only because of Clayton Clark. It's like, okay, keep telling yourself that.
A
No. And also, do you see those videos of her, like, getting, like, beat up on the court, like, the way that other players treat her?
B
There are a lot of politics in. Within the. The league when it comes to Caitlin Clark. And yes, she has, like, a couple of Rivals within the league who are, like, haters of hers and who end up, like, you know, fouling and things like that. A lot of people like to pit her and Angel Reese against each other, but they're actually like, they. Angel reason Caitlin Clark. Because they're, like, the same grade, kind of. They graduated from the NCAA together. Even though I think they're different ages, they have, like, a mutual respect for one of their. There are other. There are players that do not like Caitlin Clark and the attention that she gets. And I don't think that they like that. Like, the league is, like, Caitlin's league, you know, Angel Reese isn't one of them. I think she gets a bad rap when it comes to Caitlin Clark. And I actually think that, like, her. The two of them are, like, formidable opponents who really respect one another.
A
Yes. Also in this interview, she talks about Angel Reese briefly and, like, was super nice and that they have a good relationship.
B
Yeah, I think, like, I think the Angel Reese stuff is, like, a lot of media, like, pitting two successful women against one another. Because in any other time, like, Angel Reese was that bitch, like, lsu, and she would have been the one we were all talking about. But it's kind of like, you know, what's that movie? Secretariat and what was the other horse? Oh, with an ass.
A
We have to. We have to figure it out.
B
Like, the year Secretariat won the Triple Crown. Like, obviously, Secretariat was like, this out of world. Like, this is the most insane horse you ever met. But his, like, rival during that time, during Sham. Sham. Sham was his rival who was all the other time. Lost every race, but was one of the most extraordinary horses. Like, two things can be true. Angel Reese's Sham. Like, so if it were any other year, Sham and Angel Reese would be, like, you know, they would have been at the ball. It would have been Angel's year. So I think that, like, naturally, they pit the two, and they played each other a lot in college, and now they play each other a lot in the ncaa. But I think it's all good. I think a lot of. Excuse me. I think a lot of it is, like. And I just want to say, like, I don't think the WNBA needs a different name. Like the NBA. There's not the NBA.
A
Interesting. So you think it should be called the NBA?
B
Yeah. Which game did you watch? Oh, I watched the women's game. Like, I don't know why. It is a special name. Like, we're, like, so special. You know what I mean?
A
That's actually, like, a really radical take. Like, oh, is it your next.
B
Oh, yeah, fine. Like, I actually don't. Like, that's how I also felt, like, when I used to shop plus size. Like, how we had to have, like, a special name and a special section. Like, just put it with the clothes. Like, I just want to be with everyone else.
A
Well, that is weird. Just put it, like, because also, you'll be shopping for something, and it goes up to, like, 1x and you're like, oh, they don't have my size. But then, like, over yonder, on a different floor, same shirt in a 2X. Yeah, that's just, like, not.
B
It's illogical.
A
Good logistical maneuvering.
B
Yeah. Maybe I'm a radical feminist. I think it should be called the NBA.
A
Like, I can't tell if that's, like, super radically feminist or, like.
B
No, I actually don't think it is. I'm such a simple person. Like, I hate when, like, you're. This is my philosophy when it comes to, like, being a woman or being anything. Like, I hate to feel like a handout. Do you know what I mean? And getting a special league name. Like, we're doing the same thing. It's the national. We're playing basketball nationally.
A
Like, well, do you think there should just be one league for men and women, the best of the best?
B
I actually think that, like, if there was. I don't, by the way, because I don't think, like, men should be shoving women on the court. No, but I think that. I think that, like, because I often think about that when people talk about, like, Serena Williams, like, the greatest. She is the greatest female athlete of all time. And I think that she has said. I think I forget who it was. If she played against Roger Federer or something, like, she lost. Even though you would think, like, she's actually better, like, in her own league than she is at Roger Federer. So they're so different, you know? And that's a conversation, you know, men and women's sports. Like, I'm so not going there. So thank you for asking that question.
A
I led you there.
B
So all that to say, I think it should be called the NBA.
A
Okay. I'm older.
B
Like, trying to get me to, like, be, like, a radical. Like, get out of here.
A
So what are you trying to say?
B
Get out of here. Get out of here.
A
Are you ready for our next story? Number four.
B
What was the original story?
A
Caitlin Clark is time person of the year. I think we said everything that could be set Time athlete of the Year.
B
I just want to say I don't really feel like I even gave my take. I love this. I don't know who else it could have been like.
A
Simone.
B
Yes. Yes. If it. Yeah, I guess it.
A
Travis, Jason.
B
Oh, actually, those are all really good ones. They could have done Travis and Jason together. That would have been cute, too.
A
That would have been cute. I wonder if they released the short list.
B
But in terms of, like, actual, like, making change, that's Caitlin. No, too. But like, Travis and Jason brought joy and entertainment, but I don't think they, like, enacted change. You know, her NBA, I mean, her Nike contract being, like, the biggest for a female athlete, like, it's huge. She's raising the bar for female athletes everywhere. I. And I think, like, I just love her too. Like, as a person. I think she's a great role model. Every time I hear her in an interview, she's always saying the right thing. Not because she thinks that it's the right thing to say, but because I think that's, like, how she was raised.
A
No. And I also feel like I obviously don't watch the WNBA or even the NBA. So again, like, you can't yell at me. Like, none of this is really for me. And yet I can even sit here and say, like, it was her year. She was everywhere. She dominated. I don't have to participate in it to feel the effect of Caitlin.
B
Exactly. That's how, you know, somebody really transcended their.
A
Yeah, that's like when they're like, well, you didn't see the movie. Well, if the movie was that great, it would have made its way to my television. Like Wicked.
B
Yeah. Wicked is the perfect example.
A
It is the perfect example. Got me to the movie theater for the first time, I think, in five years.
B
It got me to the movie theater for the first time in one year since the ERAs tour hit theaters.
A
Right. So I'll say that. Are you ready for our next story?

Our next story, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been offered a jaw dropping amount to appear on screen together again. So Danny Rossner, who is a director, he has raised about $6 million from his backers which she hopes would be enough to entice enemies Brad and Angelina to bury the hatchet and do a movie together. So he is sharing the details. This is his, this is his big dream. However, it must be never happening. By the way, they have been warring over custody, over their kids money and the future of their wine business.
B
This is like really weird of what's.
A
His name, Danny Rossner.
B
It's giving some of the biggest loser energy I've ever seen in my life. Like, why would you want either of them to go through that? Like, first of all, they have unlimited money. $6 million. Why don't you take your pennies elsewhere?
A
D is what he's raised. So here's what he said. He also has the movie ready. He describes the film he wants Brad Angelina to star in as his passion project of over 20 years. It's a love story set at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France during World War II, based on the real life owner. Pitt would play Emmanuel Martinez, the hotel owner and Angelina would play his alluring mistress and muse, Emma Degard. The script means they perform intimately together, as Rossner admits. There's a love scene. It's a torrid one too.
B
He's a freak.
A
He's not worked out and even split for the exes because actually his feet is a little bit more than hers. She would. Not that I wouldn't start with that, Danny. No, that is not the way to do it.
B
Although, you know, these are two people who don't necessarily need money, but divorces are notoriously expensive. You know, they're fighting over their chateau in France. Like I actually think they both could really use $30 million. No.
A
And also it's like they have children together. So they have like they could come together make a quick 40 mil, give it to the kids. And they always tell us it's just acting. Doesn't matter that I'm kissing someone. That's not my.
B
Do you always tell us that?
A
It's just. We don't even feel anything.
B
So the thing is, is I think they both look at it like they. We're so beyond. It's not just a divorce. Like, she has accused him of abuse. He has acute. Like they fucking. It's beyond. There's no way this is happening. Although it does beg the question, like, how much money would it take? Now if this were regular people, you know, with regular problems and regular bills, like, obviously, sure, I do it for ten grand.
A
But people who secretly donated to Mark Schoenwetter.
B
Right. People who seemingly have everything.
A
Right. They could also take the money, do it, and donate it to charity.
B
Yeah. You know, she loves unicef. Like, how, how much would it take? And because this is 20 mil, before you know, you. You get a deal, you get a back end deal. You get like three pennies every time the movie sells a ticket. Like, so it's not just 20, it's 20 and then some, some back end royalties.
A
Yeah. So his fee is about 20 to 25 million. Hers is in the 15 million dollar range. Range. And then if you even. They would. He said, we're prepared to go 50% above that. So he would make as much as 37 million. She 22 million. So that's over $50 million for charity for your kids. If they didn't have kids, I would say, but what is this like three months out of your life, bury the hatchet, do the thing that you guys always used to do, that, you know, maybe they'll fall in love for a couple 50 mil. But then it also begs the question, to what end is he doing this? Do the American people really want to see these two together? Like, are we all gonna go to the theaters and make this movie worth it?
B
I'm not dying to see these two back together, like in a romantic or even a movie sense. However, if they did a film together with, you know, intimate scenes, like my curious ass would be getting a ticket.
A
Like, you think that, like, people would come out in droves for this to justify the big salaries I do, the movie would have to make like probably a hundred million dollars to justify the budget.
B
I think they both have that sort of box office power together, for sure. And then all the context around what's going on between them in real life, for sure. Now tell me about the book. Are either One of it's a. Are they Jewish?
A
It's a true story. It's not a book, but it's a person. So Emmanuel Martinez is in his muse, Emma Degard. It didn't mention Judaism. But wait, they. It's an American couple who rent a hotel room in coastal France to save their marriage. No, I'm sorry. That's her other movie. By the sea.
B
Okay.
A
Similar. I'm like, you're saving your marriage in.
B
The middle of a war. I don't know if that's gonna help.
A
Read the room.
B
Yeah, like, girl, you'll be fine.
A
I.
B
Let me.
A
I'll do a quick google on these people. But honestly, I just want to say I didn't like. I was thinking, like, it would probably be something more closer to like Mr. And Mrs. Sm. Like a modern day, like, Right. Sexy movie. But this actually sounds good.
B
Well, Mr. And Mrs. Smith would be great because for the first half of the movie, they hate each other, so they wouldn't even have to act.
A
Right.
B
It would be the second half where they like fall back in love. That makes it. That's such a good movie. Also knowing, like, at the time, how important of a role that played. They were both. Well, he was married. Yeah. They were not together at the time, but that's where they fell in love. Like, you can actually it such a good movie. You can see them falling in love like on screen. Because neither one of them are that good of an actor.
A
Right.
B
So it's so crazy that he makes $25 million a movie. I don't know if I knew that that's on.
A
Yeah. On the high end. But he probably like takes less for like other movies that are maybe. Or he gets. He's a director, a producer, whatever. This is just like a fee to say my lines and take your pants show up.
B
Yeah, right, right. Unzip.
A
However, ultimately one this guy, his movie credits like, aren't that amazing. So I. I just don't think he's like.
B
He sounds. It's actually like a freak.
A
Nutty. It's not Steven Spielberg calling, so I think they're not even picking up the call. And also then at the bottom of the article, it's like talking about everything that's gone on the last few years. Think about how much the kids hate him. Like, this is not the plane. They changed their last name.
B
The plane.
A
Yeah.
B
The emergency landing. Like this is never happening.
A
However, like $50 million for your future and. Or charity of your choice. It's something to think about.
B
This guy just like seems to have a hard on, like. Like this fantasy about these two. And it's like, weird. I never even thought that I wanted or needed to see these two back on screen together.
A
Yeah. And I also think the worst part of this is it could like, drop and like, like nobody is dropping flop. I don't know how much people love them separately and together. Like, do people care? I don't think so.
B
I think when it comes to box office, like, star Brad Pitt still draws people in, like every movie he does a success. I actually, I didn't know that Angelina just did a new movie. I thought she was retired from acting.
A
So I think that says she play Maria Callis.
B
I think that says all that says about like her box office power.
A
Yeah. Yeah. So tbd. And also, like, if I want to see this movie because, like, I like a historical fiction, a historical film, World War II Romance. It would be distracting. I'd just be thinking about how much these people hate each other.
B
No, of course. No. You truly cannot suspend disbelief. It was kind of like the kissing booth too, honestly.
A
Yeah. It would be better if it was like an enemies to lovers.
B
That's what I was thinking. Like Mr. And Mrs. Smith.
A
Yeah. Okay. Think about it. Think about it. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
B
Yeah.
A
A little production news. Because if we don't let you know who else has been added to the lineup of Dick Clark's Rock and New Year's Eve, no one's going to.
B
No one will. I thought it was gonna be the Harry Potter HBO Max series.
A
That's another one. And then also the cast of Annie Live and the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
B
And any live production, obviously any live production, we're gonna.
A
Any awards show, we're gonna let you know who's hosting and performing. But these are the names that have been added to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve. Alanis Morissette, Renee Rapp, Blake Shelton and TN tlc. So.
B
Oh, better. Like before, it sounded like a big loser fest with one big headliner, Carrie Underwood. The four of these are recognizable names from all different genres and generations, so it's more promising.
A
I'm glad to see you're excited, though. Also, like, Alanis and Renee will be on the West Coast. Blake Shelton will be live from Las Vegas, and TLC will be in Times Square. Like, for me, it's about what's going on in Times Square. The other, the remote satellite, you have filmed that five years ago.
B
They do, right?
A
So that just doesn't give the right energy.
B
I am so glad you brought up Renee Rap, because I don't know if you know, like, a lot of people have been talking about Renee Rap because the new season of Sex Lives of College Girls came out, and, like, they're. You're. They're actively. They're. I think only. Maybe I only saw the first episode so far, but I think there's two or three. They're actively writing her out of the script. She's, like, thinking about transferring. You see how she ends up leaving. I don't know what ends up happening, but it reminded me that, like, she decided to leave what I have to.
A
Put on my content plate. And I started my note. Oh, I was just looking for a pen and paper.
B
Sex Lives SL o C. I got it. So it started this conversation because when she decided to leave the show, like, obviously, everyone was devastated, but she was having this moment, this pop girl star moment. And it does feel like that moment kind of came and went. And she definitely was eclipsed by, like, a lot of the pop girlies who took over this year, like Chap and Sabrine. And I think a lot of people are now giving. It's kind of like the Raja Jean Paul. Now, she's obviously not, like, Raja Jean level, but she didn't really take off in the way that we thought she was going to. And in a way that made sense for her to leave that show. Like, she had a clip.
A
We were just talking about how, like, this is a big moment for, like, pop is happening right now. There are pop stars. Olivia, Sabrina, Chap, Gracie. No, no. But of the new girls.
B
The new girls, the newbies.
A
Like, there's really an environment. It's ripe for them right now.
B
Tate.
A
Tate. And, like, she's not there, I don't think.
B
I know. And I think when she left the show, it was, like, clear that she was going to be there, so she was happy to leave the show behind. Now, there's two ways that it can go, right when you leave a show. The Rajan and the Olivia Rodrigo. Like, Olivia Rodrigo never should have been on that show. You know, she did the second season as actually a charity, and after that, High School Musical, the Musical, the series, like, it was silly. She never should have been there. So it can go one of two ways. And I feel like the Renee way is, like, going.
A
But let me just say Olivia Rodrigo character on that show, Olivia Rodrigo, Pauline Chalamet, my girl. Just because she's dating.
B
You mean Dana Holzberg?
A
Yeah, yeah. Olivia Rodrigo is not a fair comparison, because High School Musical the musical of the series, like no one was really watching or living for. And when she left it, like, no, nobody cared because it wasn't like. But like Bridgerton was the biggest show. Sex life in college was so big. So to leave that, to think you're gonna do something bigger, it's like, like it's a tall task to leave High School Musical. We're like, great. Yeah.
B
So. So is there an example you think of somebody leaving like a big timey show and it paying off?
A
Definitely. I would have to think, okay, I can't, I can't think right now.
B
Sound off in the comments because I would love to know, like, if it has ever worked out for anybody for sure. And I thought, I thought with Renee Rapp, like, well, I was sad for myself because I love her and I love that show. I was like, you know what, it probably won't affect her career. She was so clearly like on this trajectory.
A
Yeah.
B
And I don't know if it, what, what affected it the most, but I think it was just the rise of other pop girlies that sidetracked her a little bit and it didn't turn out the way I thought it was going to. And I'm sure the way she thought.
A
As someone who's like on the other side of like the pond, like, she'd never crossed over into mainstream, like to where I reside, like Chapel, like has. Yeah, all of them. Like, they are both Internet and Gen.
B
Z. I think Tate is still on the journey there.
A
Yeah.
B
But Renee never left the Internet island.
A
No, I don't, I don't come across like, I don't know her songs. They don't get like, they just never made it to like, you know, Grannyville, which is where, that's where scale is.
B
That's how you know you made it when you've hit Grannyville Supermarket, Publix Radio.
A
Like, can't go somewhere without hearing your boss. So not to say, like, I think she's really talented. When I do see her perform, I'm like, wow, this is amazing. But like, I don't know why. And there are so many artists that like, I love that haven't made it to Grannyville. And that hurts for me. Like, I feel like, like Mimi Webb, like I'm waiting for. I'm bringing her, I'm showing her to my granny friends, but I'm in.
B
I think while she hasn't hit Grannyville, she's hit Granville in the uk. She's also not American. So you have to remember that when you're thinking of it from your own American pov.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Like, I feel like little mix never really hit grannyville.
B
Well, they were cut off at the legs before they could start because they decided to break up for some unbeknownst reason.
A
Yeah. So. But. And do you think there's anyone who didn't leave the show, like, you know, probably had this moment, either should have or, like, was able to do both while not leaving the show, but also grow.
B
Yes, I think it's possible. Like, I don't think you'll ever really regret staying on something big, even if you can do other things too. Like, I think. Think you just work hard, and I think that it's possible to. To slay it both.
A
Yeah. I think that's the move.
B
Yeah.
A
So Dick Clark's rocking New Year's Eve. We're probably gonna be together watching. I feel like it's gonna be like a. We've actually had a.
B
Take a major nap in the middle of the day. I don't know if I can wait up.
A
I was actually thinking, like, when can I call it? And, like, stop waiting up till midnight. Even on my birthday this year it was the election. So I was watching the election. But, like, at a certain point, I'd like to go to sleep.
B
I agree. Let's dive into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recap. Last night was a really boring episode.
A
I thought the week before was more boring that we didn't recap.
B
I didn't.
A
Okay.
B
Because I thought, like, they were at least, like, being like, like, cute and funny and pretty and, like, playing those games, which I actually thought was funny. This one, they just, like, went from meal to boat to meal. Like, there was nothing. Like, and I'm sorry, because I feel like I'm so ride or die for. And, like, I always choose to see the best. But weenie of the week was Garcelle submitting herself in the Kyle and Dorit conversation. Being like, I agree.
A
Okay.
B
Nobody asked. And I love how dorit required like, 30 follow up questions. You agree with what? And then, like, Garcelle couldn't really explain herself. She was like, oh, okay, thanks. Like, it was so not the time.
A
Duh. You do. You don't like me and you thought my robbery was staged?
B
Like, yeah, no. And, like, we're. Objection. Relevance. We're literally not talking to you. Like, she's so obsessed with Dorit. She's like, a little bit dog with a boat. And I think maybe when she's obsessed with somebody that I dislike, I ride for Garcelle, but Like, it's punching down at this point with Dorit. Like, everyone's coming for her. She's going through a lot. And, like, you're just randomly, like, we want to get to know. Bo's like, okay, just shut up.
A
Piles on. And she has, like, no, the other women, even when they fight, like, they have tender moments, too. Like, even when she finally reconciles with Kyle, it's like, there's love there. But between Garcelle and Dorit, there is none of that. It's just actually, like, a hatred that mostly Garcelle has for Dorit. And so, in turn, Dorit's like, okay, I don't like you either, because you treat me so terribly. And so it's just, like, it's. It's not a productive call out. Whereas ever the other women, it's like, okay, I'm going to tell you what you did that hurt me so that we can move forward. But for Garcelle, it's just to, like, make Dorit look bad. And I also feel like she had said early on in this season, like, making everything look so perfect. Like, you'd never know. The last three years, Dorit has been telling us, like, she's not okay. Like, even that last season where she had that pretty woman day with PK was, like, really terrible. I saw that she was so stressed out. Even the way that she looks, she doesn't look like herself. Like, they're literally fighting over dinner. She's literally telling. She sat down with Kyle and said, my relationship is on the rocks. And I feel like at the time, everyone's like, oh, Dorit's making it about her. And then cut to a year later, they're separated, and it's like, she pretended everything was perfect. It was like, no. She was literally telling us she's not okay.
B
No. And Kyle's, like, demanding grace from everyone for what she's going through. Meanwhile, like, you see, and while I. I have sympathy because I think that, like, she doesn't want the marriage to end. Like, her and mo are, like, really coatic. And, like, they're getting along really well. Dorit and PK Aren't even talking now. Like, and their kids are not grown. Kyle's kids are grown. Dorit has these little kids. It's like, so it's, like, clearly bad. And everybody's like, kyle, Kyle, Kyle. When Dorit's going through the same thing, and it appears to be, like, much harder.
A
100%. I think the fact that the kids are grown, like, makes the biggest difference. Like, when Kyle was sitting alone in her house. It's like, yes, that would be a lonely, quiet life, but at least it's.
B
Not like your kids fucking crying.
A
No, it's not, like, hard in the trenches. Like, and also, Kyle has multiple businesses. She's a very wealthy woman. Like, Dorit has the show and she does well for herself, but, like, she housewife, probably. If PK wouldn't let her stay in the house, she would have to move. Like, her whole life will change. It's so destabilizing. And, like, the. I don't even. And Kyle's now a year out. Dorika's a. Dorita's a week out. Like, I think where Kyle was a week out is different than where she is. Where Dorit will be in a year is even different. So, like, I feel like right now, Dorit needs grace and tenderness, and I don't know why she decided to, like, kind of slay all the dragons all at once. Like, woke up today, and then I was calling out Kyle for years of mean behavior and PK and. But she's taking on a lot. She just. Like, when she was walking onto the boat, I was like, I think she's gonna fall asleep. Like, she looks just tired.
B
Can we talk about something? How the. Literally the entire episode, the thread was like, what actually did Dorit say about Teddi? And. And Dorit was telling the truth the entire time. She did say, we're not close, but I consider her a friend, but not like a close friend. That's exactly what she said. And then she repeated it twice. And Erica was like, I don't think that's what you said. And that was pissing me off because Erica's been a really good friend. She's not malicious. She obviously is misremembering.
A
Right? And it's just annoying because she was wrong. Like, if she had been right, and she's. If Dorit hadn't said that, and then Dorit. Erica, like, remembered correctly, it would have been like, okay, well, we are. You know, we need historic. We need accuracy here, whatever. But the fact that they were all wrong, it made Dorit look so good. They kept replaying it how she said that. And I also.
B
The editors are not on team Kyle. Do you feel that way, too? They keep, like. Like, cutting to old scenes from old seasons, making her look bad.
A
Yeah. Just giving us examples of the things that Dorit is talking about. That without examples, I'd be like, oh, Dorit, you're overreacting. But it's true in the confessionals, and I'm watch what happens live. The women are snarky even in this trip. Kyle's like, the boat's gonna run away. It's Gilligan's island. Don't keep me with these people. And it's like, you're literally saying you hate your friends and you don't want to be with them. Like, everyone is talking nastily and snarkily about each other the whole time, but when Dorit does it, it. It's. I'm not speaking to you for six months, even though you're my best friend in the group.
B
And I actually appreciated Sutton, who clearly has, like, an issue with dorit and, like, likes Kyle more. I appreciate her being honest. I mean, listen, like, Kyle, you do do that. Like, you have this, like, thing where you just ice people out. You're, like, over them, and then six months later, you're, like, ready to talk to them again. And you do need to work on that. And I appreciate that she said that to her privately and publicly in front of Dorit because that was a kind of a bad look for Kyle.
A
Yeah, Kyle's just, like, not. Not doing it for me.
B
No. And she's, like, really coming off poorly.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I just feel like Dorit is, like, needs support. She doesn't. And I don't know. I just. And I also recognize that Kyle's going through stuff, but just compared to Dorit, like, dorit just feels insurmountable at the moment.
B
The argument in the bus was weird, and Sutton was pissing me off. Like, why are you trying to. To cause a thing between Erica and Dorit? Like, Erica's literally the only person Dorit has. Like, can you fuck off, Zachary?
A
Well, Sutton and Garcelle, like, really always wind up back here, where it's like, you guys have different roles for each other than you do for the rest of the group. And, like, if you're gonna talk poorly about each other, like, do it like you would with all of us. I just wish that Dorit, like, did more listening in that moment to realize she wasn't in trouble. No one was coming for her. They were actually talking about Erica. And also, like, even Garcelle saying, you said you're not close with Teddy, but you posting, by the way. And I wish Dorit had answered, like, a little better to be like, that was a cool moment. And I'm reposting, of course, by the way, a million things all day long.
B
No. And her, like, saying I wanted to support the concert. Like, Kyle was right. Like, John Mellen Kemp.
A
Oh, by the way, that comment, though, that Kyle made is the exact type of snarky comment that she would get mad about. He's a hall of fame rock and roll star. He doesn't need to read Kemsley's Instagram.
B
But I felt like if she had just been honest, which was clearly like, oh, yeah. And she has maintained this entire time, I am friends with Teddy. I'm not close with her. I'm friends with her. Friends enough to go to a concert. She just said, like, no, that was sick. I got pulled on stage by John Mellencamp. Why the fuck wouldn't I reshare that? Like, it so was not a thing. I didn't think it made her look hypocritical at all to say I'm not really that close with teddy and then 2 days later post a video with Teddy. I didn't think it was weird at all. The only weird thing that made it weird was, like, her explanation not being.
A
Like, 100% honest yet promoting the concert, like, where. As opposed to just being like, oh, that's so funny.
B
Like, that, though, like, she is. I had to promote John Millicent. Like, I'm sorry. She's funny.
A
She is. And I wish we could have seen, like, was there a link or anything? Was she actually, like, promoting, like, hey, get tickets.
B
I thought maybe he was posting a charity event. If she was, that was the only way that would have made it, like, I wanted to help promote is if they were raising money philanthropically.
A
I need to see the whole side. If there was, like, a call to action, then she's telling the truth as opposed to just being, oh, there was a cool moment and I wanted to share it. Like, we repost stuff all day long.
B
Yeah.
A
Why? That would be, like, weird if she intentionally didn't repost it because we're not close enough to repost.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. So everyone needs to back off. I'm, like, so writing for dorit, and I love. I love Erica, and I love that she's, like, being there for dorit. I need her to come off the fence, like, a little bit more over to do. But I understand she's just being.
B
But I actually feel like for someone who's playing the middle between dorit and Kyle, she's definitely leaning more favoring Dorit.
A
Yeah. Yes.
B
And I think that just might be because one, Erica's, like, very logical, and right now, like, logic is on dorit side. But also I think she has a lot of sympathy for dorit because they're in similar situations. Like, they were how like when she. Everything that Erica has now, bags, clothes, house. She pays for herself. Like she's completely self sufficient. She left that life behind and Dorit would be the same.
A
Yeah.
B
So I think they look at Kyle being like, listen, you're a little bit in ivory tower over here. No prenup. You built the business together. You've been married since 1994. You're going to be completely fine.
A
Yeah.
B
Also I saw TikTok speaking of Jennifer tilly. She makes $10 million a year.
A
Okay.
B
From the Simpsons.
A
Very nice.
B
And she has since she's been divorced. I don't.
A
That would like in the 70s, that.
B
Would be like $100 million. Yeah.
A
Wow. Okay.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Just fun fact.
A
Thank you for that fact. She has yet to prove it herself.
B
Yep. It's just a tick tock. It was looked AI generated. So just take everything I say with a grain of salt. But I thought that was. It sounded right. It didn't sound like obscenely high. But for the biggest show to have a little chunk. 10 million. Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
And it's one of those shows that's like before streaming like it's og syndicated. Like.
A
No, it's like the biggest show probably like the most of all time show of all time. Yeah.
B
Yeah. Besides like maybe Seinfeld.
A
But Seinfeld was a handful of seasons.
B
No, it's still on.
A
It's still on old and new episodes.
B
So crazy.
A
So crazy.
B
I feel like that's a good time to wrap up because I have to poop. So thank you so much for listening. Like sorry I don't really have the time and space like like to be.
A
Oh, but you know, there's a beautiful way to say that now if you.
B
I have to make a party loaf.
A
Listen to the good guys tomorrow because that will be explained for an explanation. I told that story.
