In short

The Toast hosts discuss the “Days of Awe” lead-in to Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur, then pivot to pop culture and daily-life chaos: US Open tennis they missed, back pain and sleep positions, power outages and Florida storms, and cooking without a working stove. They celebrate a recent episode’s TikTok success and read a listener wedding-dress dilemma. They also cover Fast Five Stories: Caleb McDaniel as the new face of Alex Earl’s Real Activists; Martha Stewart’s cameo on Real Housewives of New York and her account of a final conversation with JFK Jr.; rumors that Lady Gaga has eloped with Michael Polansky; and Northwest (Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s daughter) launching as a public music figure.

Guests

No guest interviewees. The hosts are the two regular hosts (Jackie and Claudia) plus recurring audience/listener submissions.

Key claims

The hosts say they’re “back” after a successful episode ranking; they argue the wedding-dress choice should prioritize the wearer’s current joy/fit; they claim Bruno the dog is thriving after returning from the Hamptons; and they assert Northwest is being positioned publicly through concerts, magazine coverage, and music.

Notable examples

Ben Shelton beating Alcaraz after Alcaraz reportedly threw up mid-match; Martha Stewart telling Daisy Toy she advised JFK Jr. to get a co-pilot; Real Activists “dirty thoughts clean skin” campaign with Caleb McDaniel; Lady Gaga reportedly out of the spotlight for over a month; Northwest’s first solo concert in Chicago with parents’ support.

0:20I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast and happy wednesday yeah that's right an early hump day thanks to labor day hope everyone's having a great day the tourist is back two durs in a row how you doing jacks i'm doing good i didn't realize that was happening that it was a wednesday i know it's like what are we doing this weekend midweek is upon us what are we doing this weekend we are rosh hashanah ing oh right i totally like keep slipping my mind i gotta get outfits for shul yeah so we have a meaningful weekend not like of course another bus beach club another club another beach club no we'll be pious women but until then usually are yes and also as you guys know if you've been listening to this show for the eight years we've been doing it the days in between rosh hashanah and yom kippur like very sacred days in our religion where yeah there's two holidays like usually i think it's nine days between them yeah there's 10 days apart and they're called the days and those are the days where like you are either written into the book of life for the following year on your best behavior i think it's like akin to lent so like give something up no we don't give something up you just no no i'm saying it's akin to lent if you're trying to relate like you're on your best behavior like proving i can do it you should live another year yeah so it's actually a bummer with the toast just coming back that we're gonna have to sort of zip it in a couple days and like not talk our shit.

1:47But we still have a few more shows like to be the nastiest versions of ourselves. And I think we can do it. I think so too. So just let it all out, okay? And we'll be better next year, Hashem. Yeah. We, um, I probably like look so tired and you probably are wondering why I'm wearing my Dairy Boy Tana sweater. I can tell you exactly what's happening over there. You stayed up late watching the US Open. Not even, I like missed so many good parts. I'm sorry, like a match that started at 11, girl, like, you know, I was asleep. And it was just like a it was kind of a big night. It was first a battle of the female billionaires.

2:21Did I tell you that two girls? The other girl's a billionaire, too. Did I tell you that? Yeah. So the two billionaires played last night. A billionaire won. Which one? It was Jess Pagula. And then like the match of the century, my boyfriend, Ben Shelton, versus everyone else's boyfriend, Alcaraz, started at 11. Like, I didn't even get to see one minute of it. like I'm not 11 I've got to bet at 11 since I'm like 17 it was just absurd and I missed the whole thing it was apparently a game for the ages it ended at 3 a.m. Ben Shelton won like the upset of the century well not upset because like we're happy he's American and apparently like the stadium was just going nuts for him like Alcaraz never could have won also Alcaraz threw up mid-match and I actually saw the saddest video like he knew he was gonna throw up he was in his seat and he like has you know when you're like sick and you're like a bowl like yeah he had his towel and the cameraman's like in his face and he's like go away and you could see he's so sick he's like it's about to come out and he's like go away go away and the cameraman like won't fuck off and i know it's his job but it's like he can't even he can't even throw up in private like it was actually like the saddest video i've ever seen in my life that is sad that is sad that would never happen that would never happen at wimbledon no never the woman beater plays tonight must miss so if anybody like wants me to watch something tonight let me know because i'm free what's on deck for tonight nothing I actually I don't know what to watch next I was gonna ask the audience like I almost started DCC last night but then I was like you know what I'm tired I think I'll and we're so late like I watch it like for personal enjoyment I love the show and I love the girls um but I think I went to bed like by 9 p.m.

3:56I was just like I'm gonna take the win going to bed is everything except I think I have a problem where I don't know how to physically sleep because I've pulled my back out again from like I woke up with my back out and when I'm sleeping I know I'm doing it badly like I know I'm in positions that are gonna fuck with me and like I think I need to take a sleeping class of like what's the proper way to position your body for sleep so that like you're not hurting yourself oh well literally on the floor no pillow like flat on your back that's how you're supposed to sleep but if you're looking for the elite way to sleep real ones now it's on your belly with one leg like up and one leg straight with your hands under your pillow i sleep with my shoulders up at my ears like and i well that's bad for your neck and that's and that's why my neck is always out yeah i think we solved the problem you don't need to take a class you figured it out but then it's like what's the right way to sleep if i don't want to sleep on my belly which sometimes i do but like if i want to sleep on my side and i shouldn't like tuck my shoulder all the way up to my ear like how should i sleep you just kind of need to relax it sounds like you're holding a lot of tension in your neck the thing is i hold a lot of tension but like the tension is what keeps me together you know yeah my tension is in my jaw you ever like throughout the day just realize you're clenching so fucking hard i feel like that also like causes wrinkles and it's bad for your teeth that's where i i hold it like right here i'm gonna get jowls i don't want to be less tense okay like that keeps this bus moving okay but i should be so willy-nilly i think my free spirit definitely keeps my bus moving you are you a free spirit the thing is like i feel like we always ask these questions like are you this you that it's like every day i'm different you know and in and in some ways i am free spirited and in other ways i am not yeah i'm a very caged spirit these like personality quizzes you know Like I don't fall into them.

5:49Like literally depending on how I slept the night before, I'm a different person today than I was yesterday. But part of being a podcaster is constantly identifying your personality traits. Enneagram. What number am I? I always forget three. Which is classic three. Is it? To always forget. Yeah. Jackie's a one. I'm an Enneagram one. Like I said, the tension holds it together. Oh, let's talk about the major success that was yesterday's episode. Like everyone was so excited. I know you're not on TikTok, but like, oh my God. I was getting a war is over. So many TikToks. Our episode was like number four overall.

6:26Like we're literally so fucking back. I love being missed. I hate feeling like, oh yeah, those girls do the show every day. Like enough of them. And then it's like, oh my God, every day. Like it was just, I need to bottle up the feeling of being so adored. Because it's very frequent. It is. It is. It is. I'm sure soon, you know, they'll be back to their complaints. What are these stories? stories i need to bottle up that feeling of adoration and like wear it as a perfume once a week yeah yeah we're back and today dtq don't worry i've selected oh my god they were cracking me up i also want to shout out there was a girl who wrote in i'm not going to choose it but i just felt like because like i didn't think it would be good content but i want to if you're hearing this if you wrote in about your wedding dress she basically like she sent us pictures she was like i picked this dress out with my mom and like made this most amazing memory i don't know the mom might have passed away or something but like the mom and then she went back to the store with her mother-in-law and like ended up finding a dress that she likes even more and she's like should I wear the other dress to preserve the memory of my mom or the new dress and I was gonna say of course like you know how different can they be wear the one with your mom let me tell you body was tea in the second one and your mother would want you to show off that bod in the second one so to the girl who wrote in wear the dress that your mother-in-law picked out who cares I agree but also are you sure the mother had passed it sounded like you sort of added that um I just like I don't really recall but the story makes more sense if the mom's dead.

7:43I guess but maybe it's also just like it also makes sense if she's alive and it's like war of the you know they would both be. Either way body T wins. Yeah. Body otty otty. Honestly I didn't know what you were working with when I saw the first picture and then the second picture I said oh that's what she's working with. The best stress wins period. Politics aside. So it was like a little bonus we do have three other submissions that were making me crack I was like cracking up this morning and you know what to it as well I realized that I was so excited to record because I really am looking forward to cracking up me as well yeah it's such a good feeling something was cracking me up oh that the toast is my crack pipe that's beautiful the toast is my crack pipe the reel that I sent you that Ben had reposted of like your nightmare when you're in the bathroom when you're like in a bathroom.

8:37You sent it to me this morning? No, no, no. A couple of days ago. I think that was the last. You were thinking this morning about a real you sent me? I was thinking about the last time I like cracked up like to oblivion. Oh, the last time I actually cracked up to oblivion was right before this watching Tim Dillon do Lindsay Clancy. Oh my God. I keep seeing these clips. I should just sit down and watch the whole episode because every clip is making me crack up. And he was talking about like, do you think the kids who are being brought to the courthouse wonder what they're doing there? Like it was seriously, it was cracking me up.

9:05I won't do it justice, but that's on my content list. And you should just watch that episode in full because the clips are really bringing me joy. It sounds like he's speaking to you. You found a lone friend in the trial. And he said he's really impressed that Lindsay Clancy freed herself from the shackles of domesticity. In kind of a unique and special way. Unique and special, for sure. He was being really funny. Yeah. That's good stuff. So the stories today, I'm sure we have a little bit of spillage. A little bit of spillage, yes. there was two stories from yesterday that we didn't get to talk about that like still are more significant I think than what the direct that came up today right but we are already back to direct which is insane and I go back to direct it's insane that day two like there's direct once again food news any food no no I try to like make it seem normal and and hopefully you guys don't even like know hopefully i put on such like a good spin that you guys don't even know what i think is dreck but just no i think we're gonna be able to figure it out no like it's just it just really took a nose time so fast from like i thought we had at least like three days of stories abounding yeah right right but no the thing is yesterday's episode was two hours maybe we should have made one hour so that we would have like stories but like we couldn't because i also didn't see and i'm grateful like a lot of comments yesterday i did not see being like why didn't you talk about like i felt like we covered the topic we covered i think so too so let's see what today has in store is all i'll say i make let's see what fresh hell this morning brings i make no but fresh dreck the fast time track you need to know and you guys might not have even noticed yesterday's episode was so dramatic like in the middle of it Jackie's power went out my power went out I thought we like blew a fuse because my studio like couldn't handle us being back but turns out us being like so on fire like popping off lights camera action no the whole neighborhood went out for outage a couple minutes and then it came back so we were able to resume but it was like kind of scary like are we gonna go we almost lost all of our footage because also this is like storm season in Florida every day there's a storm there wasn't it's usually in the afternoon in the evening but I think the storm from two days ago really sort of rattled the grid and like yesterday morning I think we were feeling some aftershocks are you gonna make a chili my stove isn't working yet so no um today my stove is you can get a hot plate or Jackie you do a crock pot chili I could do a crack don't you make chili in the crock pot it's so true sometimes stove sometimes crock pot but that's an amazing suggestion however I don't think I can make a chili because my back is out so I I don't think I could be like standing up in the kitchen for that long.

11:52But that's the thing about chili. Like you just let it simmer. Chopping onions. The mise en place. But every day I say the stove is getting fixed today. I think today is the day. Well, you know, I lived through most of COVID without a stove. Do you know that? No, I don't know that. Why? Like the gas line in my building, my old building, went out like the day before COVID started. And they were like, it's going to be months. So I didn't have, I used a hot plate, which like is a hot plate, like just a stove, like a burner. Yeah. It wasn't that big of a deal. Like a portable stove. But it being COVID like didn't help.

12:28That's a big deal for Ben. Yeah. It was actually, you know what? I'm minimizing my own trauma. Like it was a big deal. That is really crazy. It's really frustrating. We can't make eggs every morning. We usually make eggs every morning and now we can't like for the last week. So I've been, I made egg bites in the oven. At least we still have the oven. Also good. Also good. Yeah. but like I don't know you know actually one of my favorite content creators um on tiktok whose name like completely I have no idea what it is but she's my favorite she's like here's what I made for the week and she makes like insane amounts of food she has like five kids and her oven was out for like the last month wait claudia I think I saw what she made when her oven came back oh well she had gotten this like kind of stove top oven to make her she makes egg bites she makes bread she makes like a ton of shit like I think I saw her new oven and stove I think I encountered her yesterday because she was like I just got my new oven like meal prep I love her for the meal prep for the week for the week and it was amazing stuff she put the hot dogs in the corn muffins yes she makes muffins of the week she makes egg bites of the week she makes um like a million different breads she makes a lot of sourdough sandwich bread and then she does like a special flavor um she made egg salad because her son asked for egg salad for lunch that week and she actually really inspired me like I haven't done it yet but like I will she was like I always have like these huge plastic trays of like charcuterie and fruit and she's like I just leave them out and she's like the kids do eat it like yeah I saw and she said for the first time she added um edamame not edamame or snap yes yes I saw that as well and you know what like I am gonna do that because cutting fruit for every meal is like so annoying yeah that's whereas if you meal prep yeah I've heard that it's like really influencing me I've heard that if you leave like a plate of like fruits and veggies i mean veggies the fruits obviously like the kids will eat but apparently if you leave like veggies like eventually they'll eat it but i can't really do that because bruno will eat it yesterday i was carving up a rotisserie chicken and i gave harry like a bone because he wanted to eat the meat off the bone which was exciting so cute and i literally turned around and bruno got it and he didn't even chew claudia i couldn't even get it out of his mouth oh my god How is he going to pass it?

14:34I don't know. TBD. You better watch out for that. TBD. I told Zach, if you find a chicken bone, a whole chicken bone. That's what it is. Don't be alarmed. It was the craziest thing. I was a little bit happy for him because, you know, dogs love bones. He deserves it. But they say, like, dogs shouldn't have chicken bones or something. Oh, please. They're fine. Bruno will be fine. He has a stomach of steel. And speaking of Romeo, he's at his grandparents, of course. I had him the whole summer. I just want credit for that. but of course the second we got home we had lunch with Ben's parents and they were like do you want us to take Romeo and I was like yeah that's a great idea yeah actually I do so I'll see you in a couple weeks Romeo rodeo well I also want to give a little bit of a Bruno update because last we spoke like he was majorly enormous suffering in the Hamptons from childhood obesity Bruno is thriving Bruno is thriving Bruno got a haircut he looks like his young sprightly self there's something about the hamptons that are so terrible for bruno like he looks bad he feels bad he acts bad it's so bad for him there and then we come home and it's the same old broody and well we also both dogs at the end of the summer ended up looking like a mess because i didn't even tell you guys that kind of cardboard nightmare happened to me i set up a grooming session for the dogs um bruno and romeo and at the beginning of summer and it was such a great service like honestly but the thing is everything in the Hamptons is just like 10x pricing what it would be so I did it all on my phone it was like this mobile service they were literally so nice and they did an amazing job like I don't have any they did the ticks they did everything um and then I was like you know getting my mobile receipt like I had they had my credit card guys two dog grooming sessions like I can't I'm like ashamed to even say that it was almost 800 for two dogs to get groomed I said Jackie we are not getting a like one more grooming so by the time we left they hadn't been groomed in like eight weeks they both looked horrible romeo still hasn't been groomed they looked horrible bruno has been groomed bruno is like thriving in the new house and he's just back to his old bruce self so i just want to update everyone like that's good we have stabilized yeah and i actually haven't stabilized since the 800 like and i texted them and i couldn't believe it and i guess what they told me they were like yeah it's like 250 each and then like tax tip i guess maybe we like upgraded with the nail clipping or whatever add-ons anal glands 800 i i almost choked that's insane because that's 400 per pup which is more than i would pay for a haircut for myself for myself yeah of course me and my face framing layers like they did get face framing layers though they did and they looked great but i honestly i couldn't believe it yeah so we have a lot to do direct to get through and toasters to deer.

They're in like a basement or an attic. They're actually really subject to being destroyed. And when the day arrived, it was seriously the best day. Like we all gathered around the TV. It was so sweet. Like if you have loved ones who have passed away, like it's just a really special thing to do. So consider this your sign to rescue your childhood from your parents' VHS collection. Go to LegacyBox.com slash toast to see what your family was getting up to before you even had an iphone that's legacybox.com slash toast take advantage of our offer legacybox.com slash t-o-a-s-t get all those birthdays holidays school plays family vacation and memories back um and just like be the good daughter who did it or son and then everyone be like oh she works so hard she loves the family and like it actually is not that hard because legacy box does the entire thing today's episode is also brought to you by parallel so there is a gene called mthfr say it out loud yeah motherfucker the internet nicknamed it the motherfucker gene and honestly it's well earned because some actual internet hate that's warranted 60 of women have this variant and it means that your body can't actually use folic acid which is what's basically in every drugstore prenatal vitamin and swirlies we need folate not folic acid and that's why we love parallel so the problem with folic acid is that it's a synthetic form that most drugstore prenatals use and um it's it's like a cheap not to obviously say I'm carburecogee.

20:09Like it is a cheap synthetic. And your body has to convert that folic acid to folate before it can actually use it. And if you have the gene, again, 60 % of women do, the conversion barely happens. So you could be taking a prenatal every single day and still not getting the folate that you need. And Parallel uses methylfolate, which is an already active form of folate. There's no conversion required, no gene roulette. It's just the form your body can use, period, gene variant or not. And why it matters is because folate is one of the most talked about nutrients in pregnancy for a reason. It's foundational for early development.

20:38So it's not like a nice to have upgrade. It's very much necessary. And Parallel is just a trusted brand for women. Started by an OBGYN and a panel of maternal fetal medicine doctors. This is exactly the kind of gap they built the brand to close. So Parallel builds separate formulas by trimester because what your body needs changes as you go. And I just think they're like revitalizing the age old prenatal industry. And Parallel, like all their products, not just for women, but they have a lot of products for them and they actually make like conception products, vitamins, multivitamins for your man too.

21:10But it's just like a really trusted brand for women. They have electrolytes that we love. So if you're pregnant, if you're trying or postpartum, definitely check out Parallel. We really recommend it.

Check it out. Thank you, Turd It Out. You're welcome. Our first story, let's go with something fun. Caleb McDaniel is the new face of Real Activists. So Caleb from Love Island, USA, who was definitely a fan favorite, maybe not an Islander favorite. Islander favorite. He just booked an ad campaign for Alex Earl's Real Activists, her skincare line. He is like the first celeb face that's not her of the line. This feels so random to me.

23:26Like I was so, people were gagged over it. And I was like, yeah, I guess. But like, I want to say, I love the idea of Real Activist, like entering the Skims road space where you're getting it shouldn't all be on Alex. And a really good celebrity founded brand eventually, like as a what's the word help? Like delegates. No, eventually, like it has nothing to do with the celebrity founder. People forget Fabletics was started by Kate Hudson. You know what I mean? Like eventually it's like built on the back of that celebrity, but then it exists completely on its own without. And I think like bringing in other models, other spokespeople, not every photo shoot being Alex Earl is great.

24:01This one feels random. Like, I can't lie. And also, I feel like the Caleb, I think that they're limited in when they could like do stuff. I think they had to wait for the reunion or whatever. This just feels like kind of late and random. Yeah, I am no longer like on the pulse of what's happening with the Love Island people after the villa. But I guess beyond the villa. Caleb got a lot of followers oh did he? I think he like got one of the most for the men like in sort of a Jalen sort of way honestly it's never too late to do a skincare campaign with Jalen actually it might be too late what's his last name?

24:42McDaniel he does have 1.5 million on TikTok which is crazy because I think the winner which is I think she has the most Trinity she has 3.6 like how much does like rice have let's see for the men because the women always get more they're just more interesting yeah of course bryce alec one nine so yeah so he got a lot of followers considering his role on the show but maybe because everybody felt the great injustice that was nobody giving him the time of day yeah yeah exactly so happy for him and so alex and rael have started like this new campaign like dirty thoughts clean skin and i guess it's just like hot guys doing skincare in the mood.

25:22Oh, and I love it being men. Like, I love that. I think that this is a great avenue for them to go down. Yeah, it's like, how can we double? It's actually like a Gen Z version of like what Skims was doing. How can we double our revenue? Cater to men. Who else has skin? Yeah, this is a great idea. And I guess like this is very Gen Z like topical. I also have like completely fallen off. I'm not only am I not interested in what the Love Island Villa mates are up to, like I genuinely wish them the worst for how they ruined my summer. Like I want nothing to do with them. I know but Claudia I guess people are still engaging I watched the reunion oh you did I did because like I'm gonna put I'm gonna close up shop here of course I wanna see like what happened and it was very strange I don't really know what my takeaway is I think like Kada got a lot of hate she like said something sort of like I saw she got dropped from like a charity event she was being like kind of a bitch on the reunion she said something like sort of I guess anti-feminist like because queen what did she say she Caleb and Jaden is that the name of his lady from Casa sure you know the blonde girl yeah I know her so like they were already fighting on the show like they were seriously like the worst couple but then they got they left the villa and I think they like had a hard time seeing each other but they were still in touch he was like sort of leading her on like making her think that they're together but he was also like saying that he didn't want to be together just like mixed signals I think just like being immature and then they um and they had like hooked up the day after they left the villa when they were in that hotel like they had sex oh and then that's weird they like couldn't stand each other in the villa it was like a month a month and a half they didn't see each other they're like you know on the phone like you know make signals whatever he's like I think he blew up and was just sort of like yeah bye gotta go Jaden and then they saw each other again in the Hamptons like I guess a month month and a half later and they had sex again oh and then she was like still railing on him for like leading her on and all this stuff all of his behavior and like Kata said something she was like what did she say like well why'd you keep having sex yeah she said like well it takes two people to have sex you made that choice okay I just want to say that's my queen right there like bring back accountability it takes two people to have sex yeah so it said it sounded like she was sort of like slut shaming her I didn't take it that way that's not slut shaming it's just like you can't be so mad at someone if you're also actively engaging and rewarding that negative behavior yeah yeah like so that was like i saw i saw melanie and kenzie really getting into it yeah i feel like with them it was very weird also kenzie like said like melanie's her best friend in the villa but she's also said that about jen and wait i'm sorry are melanie and sincere together like they're not official but yes they were like oh then i don't want to hear having each other's backs holding each other i just want to say they played a round up of like sincere's worst moments no like all of his metaphors and analogisms Claudia was laughing so hard like it actually it could rehabilitate him like he she's chocolate cookie and I'm brownie cookie and I don't like apple pie but maybe I will like this apple pie he's genuinely the weirdest person I've ever met in my life it was so insane um and I actually felt like for Kenzie it's not even like the girls left her out I feel like the way that America's position like the fab for whatever the core for yeah like that inherently leaves out kenzie she's the fifth and and she's an og yeah kata isn't yeah also kata had like a bit of an attitude at three and she like clap back with andy a little bit and i just want to say i think she's so warranted for having an attitude i think the show did her so dirty they made the audience like turned on her for literally no and like they made her relationship look like shit they like edited so that her man looks like gay for another guy who doesn't like him like in a correct world like kata and zach should have come in second place they were the second strongest couple there the only thing that you know they went through that casa thing with the angel who got eliminated right and rice and trinity were always going to win but kate and sacks should not have been fourth place on the balls of their ass like maybe even getting eliminated they're a stronger couple than melanie and sincere are you joking me and carlin and i who are still keeping up the front um oh please yeah they made it to the reunion so let's see what happens after they were never going to like break up before the reunion but people are still like i just can't with them no and that's why like i didn't watch the reunion because i feel that i'm just in a different place emotionally physically spiritually than everyone else who watches this show and it's like frustrating to always be fighting with people like for real and the person who had the worst reunion let me think let me think let me think oh i know soul worst and like i thought it would be redemptive like all the footage is out now soul and everyone agreed like soul was wronged and i guess she said this like one thing in an instagram live and like it was the end of her yeah and like she was proven to be a liar she's also like was talking too much shit on instagram directly after yeah yeah and she's but but the shit she went through like girl say your piece yeah but she sort of had to answer everything right she wore a wig which i don't think i feel that she's like the opposite of samson like her strength was in her pixie i agree the wig did not help her yeah right and then they actually played a clip that was amazing for melanie i think it was like no after i don't know maybe it was after soul got pied or soul was upset one of the times she was upset in the villa and melanie like went and had a conversation with her and was like i'm sorry if we've made you feel excluded like that was so wrong like i'm here for you i'm your friend i'm i'm moving on from sincere like you can have him and then soul was like sharing her story of how she's been homeless and melanie was like you will never wait was this on the show um not this conversation this was a no this was like edited out yeah why and melanie was like to her you'll never be homeless again with me as your friend like i've got you if you ever need anything like it was really a good oh shit and a bad look for soul for soul to go off whenever she got eliminated to go and like talk this shit yeah yeah it was like wow yikes it was a good reunion for melanie i would say even though she still was sincere like she was able to just like hold her own and honestly with all the time that's passed like i'm just sort of over what i know i know he's just not over it but like it's hard to care as much the thing about sincere is he's just an idiot like i don't think so because i think when you say someone's an idiot it like obfuscates them of like their evil wrongdoing and i do believe that there's something deeply sinister and like malicious in his intent i don't know sort of the sting was out at the ring and she's with him and i'm like that's why i feel always that's why they wait so fucking long like yeah this thing is out of everything i don't care about these people anymore like at one point it ran my life yeah and now like i literally don't care what happens to these people and honestly i think someone who had a great season just a great arc and like it's really just winning from the show is like someone like jen like yes came on the show with a career in this world gained over a million followers like she has fans and haters or whatever but like her life is just like made now you know and it's just like a much better version of what it was before yeah yeah she actually liked my tiktoks this morning i think she might be a toaster i hope she is i really like her she has such a fun personality she doesn't take it too serious she's just like laughing she doesn't look like anyone i feel like everybody just looks the same she's so interesting to look at yeah she really is she's very gorgeous she's an amazing model and i wish her the best and every brand that like works with her i'm like that's so smart yeah Yeah.

32:46Well, Caleb McDaniel for Real Activists. And now Caleb. And I think Caleb and Jen are best friends. I think they went to Japan together. I ship. It was kind of weird on Earl Meets World to hear them talking about real actives. I'm like, what is that? And they just call it real. They don't say real actives. No, that's a problem for me. And I was like, you guys are pronouncing it wrong. That was difficult for me to hear. It was. It's Real. And I feel like our version is like so much more worldly and cosmopolitan. Real Activists. I know. They should just consider. Or we could compromise, like real actives.

33:19Real activists. I don't know, for me, the magic is in the activists. You get activated by the activists. Exactly. For me personally. Are you ready for our next story? Martha Stewart made a cameo on last night's episode of Real Housewives of New York, sharing eerie details of her final conversation with JFK Jr. it's crazy how like love story and like sorry you continue no like the timing don't you just think is weird like carol on roney love story like all at the same time where it's like the jfk junior whole saga like really hasn't come up again since well i would say maybe this conversation was filmed like when love story was airing was out yeah but the carol thing is just always an adjacent point to it yeah and he was talking about i saw a clip on what happens live what was he like it's so weird like that it's like he's like the timing and i don't think that they only i don't think they cast her because the uh show was on and jfk was like back in the zeitgeist it was truly just a coincidence yeah yeah that one is i just want to say like i think it's really weird that carol's on this roni like it makes no sense to me now i didn't watch and maybe it's working like and I actually Andy said like Carol's really in the mix like she's friends with a lot of these girls Carol said she knew more of these girls going into this filming than she knew of the women on season five um it just makes no sense to me that's so crazy well Martha Stewart whose makeup artist is a cast member on Real Housewives of New York City her makeup artist is new cast member Daisy Toy uh they Jackie do you know that we just met her yes I did okay I don't if you put that together yes yes yes um she's daisy toy now literally so daisy's doing martha's makeup and martha shares the final conversation that she had with jfk jr she said that she was with john john the monday before the friday when they died she said he called me at the time she was running martha stewart living magazine and he called me he said he's in trouble he was running george at the time oh his political lifestyle magazine big loser magazine if you watch the show like yeah but she had started four years earlier so she said of course anything you want and they had a very nice dinner together where Martha then asked JFK about his weekend plans he said he said oh we're going to a wedding in Martha's Vineyard and I'm taking my wife and her sister uh he told Martha that he was flying them in a plane which prompted her to suggest getting a co-pilot and he said I don't need a co-pilot and Martha admitted to Daisy that she's thought about that many times that I told him to go to get a co-pilot.

35:56Oh, wow. Well, the lesson is we should always listen to Martha Stewart. Yeah. That's spooky. It's very nice of Martha to film. It's very nice of Martha to film. But like Martha. Because don't you feel it's like a little beneath her? But Martha says yes to stuff. Martha says yes to stuff. And Martha likes being in the cultural mix in ways that you wouldn't expect her to be. It's true. Like Snoop Dogg. Yeah. Like she is sort of this unexpected. Yeah. So I feel like she doesn't really put herself above anything. which I think is why people love her so elevated and she is better than us but she comes and she gets slums it with us on Roni I guess it's like after prison Roni is a breeze oh my god I forgot that she went to prison that's how you know she's had a successful rebound oh I saw somebody in the comments yesterday I just want to shout out gave a really good suggestion for what we should be calling them exit and it's called Regrexit because they regret exiting I love it.

36:53Yeah, I thought that was good. Regrets it. I also saw in just like a little bit of an update, Harry like has not spoken to Charles in the two weeks since they landed in the UK. That's like seriously crazy. Yeah. And I just want to say like if they thought the American media like was turning on them and they had no privacy or whatever, it never ceases to blow my mind. Like what, historically when you watch The Crown like back in the day and today, the amount, like the level of detail that the British tabloids know about the royals. They have so many leaks. Yeah. And most of them like end up being true.

37:25Leaks and also what are the opposite of leaks? Drips. Like when or like what? Oh, are you saying when you intentionally go to media? Yeah. Like fed information. Yeah. Like you're talking to the press. Yeah. But I guess like if something's leaking on purpose, like it's you're just turning the faucet on. That's what I would call it. So they have leaks and faucet on. Yeah. yeah and none of it's good for harry and megan no no it's not so like what are they doing there if they have no family i don't know and i imagine so much of your social life as a royal like has is connected to your family so i don't know if they have like a shit ton of friends i think a lot of people want to stay within the good graces of the royal family yeah they definitely have a couple friends though i feel like he has a couple friends like from eaton and like from like did you see george started eating yesterday did i see that picture i actually as a mama somebody did like a side by side of his like first portrait when he was one and then his picture last yesterday started eating and like first of all like I got choked up I was like oh my god like that's so cute and second of all he looks just like his dad I know that's how jeans work but like he really does he they are so cute that was so cute like more of that please yeah agreed like love that shit but sorry no more of Meg's McGregs it like I could never stop talking about it forever and ever forever and ever maybe i don't think this is true but like maybe the cost of living is less over there but i don't think that's true no not the way they live yeah but i think it's it's big no matter where they go yeah but they're not like saving a couple bucks there versus here taxes i don't know how it works where are they living like not on royal property right no charles made that clear yeah charles like where did beatrice and eugenie live like in private regular like they pay rent yeah i think so yeah yeah um are you ready for our next story lady gaga and michael polanski's friends believe that they have eloped as the couple has remained out of the spotlight for over a month so were they engaged yes i believe they were engaged and now friends are saying no one has seen or heard from her in over a month everyone in her circle thinks that she's eloped with michael and is on her honeymoon now trying to make a baby oh my god mama gaga i love that um personally like this hurts because it means her and taylor whatever his name like are officially not getting back together um no and that hurts because like to me that was the one for her at this rate i think she's been with michael longer than she was with taylor and so that's not about length of time no but for me like that's when i can move on that's like when they were saying on Earl Meets World like it can take up to half the time of the relationship to get over someone and so for Jackie what is his name Michael Polanski no Taylor not Sheridan and not Kit Kenny Chicago PD or whatever yeah I seriously wish him the best Lady Gaga is the one that got away as is he but now that I like Lady and Michael I do Lady Polanski Lady Polanski it is nice when somebody marries a normie I think it's like a normie within the industry she tried to do that with that caa agent christian or whatever it didn't work out um i do think like when you are she kind of always has a man oh yeah she's very like alex earl coded monogamous sero monogamous but you would think like she'd be the type but she's the opposite of alex earl because like alex or like goes for the obvious choices right like football players tom brady and like lady gaga's like always pull even taylor kinney who i love like couldn't have been more random he's like a soap opera star but there is a kind of girl who like always has a boyfriend her friends would say can't be alone I think that's what Alex Earl is trying to get over a heel herself from right now and low-key Lady Gaga is that kind of girl I mean of course not to bring up again but if you watch five foot two like she's just been through a breakup she is alone and she's really not doing well yeah you would just think because of her art like she'd be so independent or even like you know polyamorous the thing is like Lady gaga is truly just a stage presence like she's stephanie germanada traditional girl she is she's like italian from new york like she's gonna get married and have a boyfriend she's gonna have a boyfriend a thousand percent multiple well she might have a husband um mother gaga i feel what they call her mother right like i think that that's a title that i just i am toxic like now and i just want all my my pop mom my pop stars to become mamas yeah and obviously this whole time i was thinking about Taylor Swift but yeah Lady Gaga Lady Gaga Gaga that's what we need Miley Miley she's been like with that guy for a long time she's also like so random I know she also always has a boyfriend I fear that like the more random and unknown your man is while it's less interesting for me you do have a higher rate of success for sure on so like seriously who is Miley Cyrus's boyfriend are they married I think his name is Max and it's like a partnership like It's not a boyfriend.

42:24They're not married. They're in a long-term relationship. Right. What's his name? Mullet is his name. Yeah, like he has a mullet. His name's Max with two X's. Miranda. Oh, his name is Maxx. He's a drummer in a rock band. Perfect. Let me ask you a question. I was watching a tennis match, and the guy's last name was B-L-O-C-K-X. How are you pronouncing that? Blocks. I think he was Belgian. Blocks. box um my pronunciations of the way that i read things are getting worse is getting so much worse it's crazy every time i do it i feel that it's a sign of intelligence i agree like me new menu menu yeah i've always like loved to have a good time like just with words i think that it speaks to our vast imaginations and our ability to just be silly and see the good and also you know sometimes it presents i don't know what this condition i have is but sometimes dyslexia no it presents itself in numbers too like if i absolutely a five is an s no no no no like if i see the number like 816 and you're like what does that say i would say like 816 oh oh oh i assign like letter sounds to numbers so like if you wrote out like let me just what looks like it so 816 would be like sis yeah because no because like to me if i see a nine it's an n you know so it's like nine five like i can't explain it maybe it is dyslexia no that's different and then you know there are different we are different but so i was saying like if you asked me to read like what does that number say i would say 816 and that would be wrong Oh, so if we were like looking for someone's house and the address was 816 Cozier Boulevard, you would say it's 816 Cozier Boulevard.

44:23That's actually you need help. That's wrong. That's weird. I don't like it. It's incorrect. It's incorrect. No, Minou is a fun way, a flirty way to say menu.

44:39Tears. Tears. Are you ready for our next story? Four? Four. number four yeah it's kind of a big one something that's been developing and you know what I'm going to talk about it oh my god because Northwest has been launched oh oh yeah yeah the official launching of Northwest she headlined her first solo concert in Chicago with her parents support on opposite sides of the balcony um but there has been like a concerted effort uh in the last few weeks that Northwest is officially a public figure out there yeah she did a magazine cover she had her big photo shoot i think she's pursuing music as far as i can understand based on the fact that she held a concert and she sang on stage yeah um it's very goth i feel that i don't understand it the audience was comprised of adults which i also don't understand and were they singing along no were the original songs i think so familiar okay i like the comment going around which is like seriously mean because she's a child but like when you put yourself out there like then you're open to the internet it's like her father's confidence and her mother's talent like that's what people say oh man you guys are mean that is mean here's the thing i feel like for the last few years every time she stepped out in whatever she's wearing and people like make comments and judge the parenting and it's like just feels wrong even if to me that just having a comment on it feels wrong because like she's a child and she's trying to express herself and like whatever um but now it's like this is what they want they want they've put her out there at magazine covers, music, tour, whatever.

46:15How old is she? She's 13 years old. 13. She's really young. And they want, and when you like are an artist or putting out art, like you want it to become a part of the culture. Like you want to be spoken about on the toast. That would be a successful show for you. So now it's like we're being forced to comment on it. It's no longer like a kindness to not comment on it. Yeah, and I think when you're 13, first of all, that's so young. second of all like you're very much experimenting with like clothes and makeup and like looks I don't think in five years she's still gonna be this like goth queen so it's like a very permanent sort of marker on a temporary time and I think that's like why kids deserve to grow up in private um and I think that they have a skewed view of like they because they all got into it super young Kendall and Kylie and like it all worked out great for them yeah but But it feels wrong.

47:07And it's hard for me because I want to, like, I trust my faves. And I think Kim is, like, so smart. I think she's so family-oriented. Good mom. She's an amazing mother. And I don't understand this. But I also, I don't either. She believes that this is the right thing to do. Or I guess, like, this is just, you know, a very rich and famous person's version of, like, letting kids be kids. It's like if you had a kid that was 13 and they wanted to like dress, you let them express themselves like in the house. And like, sure, you could wear black lipstick. But like this is like just a bigger scale? Question mark?

47:42I don't know. I agree because it's very incongruous with the mom and the values that I think Kim is. And we know Kanye has historically like been upset with Kim for how they like put North out there. But he's sort of co-signing it, especially if it's music. I have to imagine. It almost it feels like on the one hand, it feels like Kim, like Kanye's driving it. this because this is very kanye and that kim sort of has to go along with it because i think north in her soul just is this artist and character and he's going to do this whether it's today or tomorrow or in five years like this is what she's gonna do but then on the other hand you see kanye like always railing on kim for having her on tiktok and and yeah public and and he's not wrong for that no and but how is having her on a stage with a bunch of adults like is any different so i don't really know who's driving this and then you think okay north's driving it but like she's 13 she really shouldn't be driving she can't drive she can't drive and it was in chicago which is like very much kanye's domain i found this whole thing very confusing and like like when i didn't really want to comment on it because like she's 13 and i don't make it my business to like comment on what 13 year old girls are doing but it seems like she's been launched like a debut yes like she has been launched we are being asked to comment on it so i think it's weird yeah and you know safe to say like the music wasn't for me yeah i don't know i don't know um probably won't comment on it again for a while yeah you know scandal not with but it like it became clear to me like oh this was like an official yeah north yeah a debutante like north is because she could have had if they wanted to like you know let her express herself they could have had like a small concert with like friends and family not there was press there there was a talent show yeah like there are a million ways for kids to express themselves in a safe way yeah like also and doing a magazine and a cover shoot and all of that it's just like no it's a formal launch she's been formally launched yeah are you ready for our fifth and final story if it's our fifth and final story that's brought to you by weight watchers the last thing you need right now is another thing to manage and weight watchers is designed to fit into real life by turning daily habits into real weight loss so whether you're doing it with or without glp1 medications you can learn to build healthier habits, make smarter nutrition choices, and maintain steady, sustainable progress with Weight Watchers.

So if you're looking for a place to do a GLP-1 and also get support and like, you know, community, you can do it through Weight Watchers, but it's also been around forever since before GLP-1s and it works without it.

55:29It's like A24 and Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. Do you know those people? This whole story, I have to tell you, means nothing to me. I never watched any of the Elizabeth Holmes drama. I never got into it. So she's personally a blind spot for me. I don't know who the hell Nathan Fielder... Why am I supposed to care about this? I don't know. This is a story that's been beaten to death. We got a documentary. We got a dramatized TV show. We got a movie. So here's what I've gathered, okay? And I did watch, when it first happened, I don't know what it was, but it was a docu-series or maybe like American Greed about Elizabeth Holmes, so I know what she did.

56:07I know what she did, too. With like the blood. Blood. And then I didn't watch any of the shit after it, podcast, Amanda Seyfried, whatever. Right. But I guess at the Telluride Film Festival, there was like a secret screening. no one right no one knew what they were gonna see they was just like buzzy buzzy buzzy and it turns out that it's a documentary from a24 called you can see everything and it's like chronicle it's like with elizabeth leading up to her time in prison yeah and her family in her home and her business partner guy um and it's documenting her getting ready like to go to prison and I think it's like from what I've read whatever happens in that document is shocking stuff okay so like I'm open but I really wish like I cared about her I don't know why I don't I don't need to care about more things because I care about a lot of things I have a lot of interest and honestly like I can't like I have three kids everybody's always going on about her but I need to understand why y 'all care so much like don't you feel like she's kind of like an industry plant Like she had so many movies, documentaries, TV shows.

57:17I don't know. I saw so many people like repost the trailer and be like, holy shit. Holy shit. What? Call me crazy. Like Elizabeth Holmes. She means nothing to me. Like, I don't even know this person. This is not my plate. Yeah. No, like she's just your run of the mill fraudster. Like what's the big deal? And I feel like there are other fraudsters who are more interesting. Like Phoebe Gates. give me the phoebe gates nathan fielder docu-series today what's she up to i saw she posted something did you i haven't actually i think i need to follow her like does she do stories like ootds and whatnot okay she has 600 000 followers and yes you're right she posted with gloria steinam um and then before that she had posted july 30th which is like probably right before the drama oh and she was posting about Fia it's like a collab and is Fia still in business if I wanted to get the cookies oh let me go to the Fia Fia Co they have 300 ,000 followers they last posted six days ago the comments are bots and I guess like the way that you have a unique interest in Phoebe Gates and like some people have in Elizabeth because I also think that Elizabeth Holmes like her personality she's fucking crazy like i think fia gates like probably reminds me of someone i went to college with like i don't think she's inherently interesting in that way i find that more interesting i don't need to like a crazy person is just crazy and like i've written them off and like there's nothing shocking there like i don't understand or relate to you like to see a girl that you think is going to be one way be another way is more interesting and i think correct me if I'm wrong yeah they are still posting on the podcast the burnouts yeah they posted an hour ago I don't know if these are new episodes though but they're promoting old episodes and they still have pinned to the top of their thing the call her daddy stuff like being a part of unwell let me see when they release their last episode like this to me is interesting you want to get Nathan Nathan Fielder in there May 7th was their last episode Okay so no they haven't posted more episodes But they're still like farming content From their interviews with Paris Hilton Carly Kloss, Kris Jenner, Sophia Bush Oh the guy who doesn't age Backwards what's his name?

59:43Benjamin Button Brian Johnson So weird Who the hell is Nathan Fielder? I really don't know A writer, director and a comedian He's a comedian.

1:00:01It's also weird that like there's news being made about a film festival and it's not Venice. Like what kind of no offense. Like how good can your movie be if it's there's two festivals happening right now and you're a Tully ride. Yeah. And how do you decide like where you're going to do your big one? You get accepted. Like you have to apply. So he obviously got denied from Venice. Yeah. There's always Sundance. And Tribeca. Everyone getting their like 30 minute standing ovation. Tribeca. I just want to say, yeah, that's a good one. If I ever have a movie at Venice Film Festival, like I would genuinely hope like nobody stands up and claps for me.

1:00:34Cause that's like how you differentiate yourself. There's nothing cooler impressive to me. Yeah. There's nothing impressive to me about getting a standing ovation now. Like I saw Robert Pattinson got one cause they premiered the Chris Hansen movie. That's what King right there. But like there's literally nothing impressive to me about getting a standing ovation. It doesn't like mean that movie's good or anything anymore. No, it means nothing. thing and I want everyone to stay seated when Turney Lou Freebush the memoir the biopic premieres at Venice Film Festival okay sit your asses down the biopic who's gonna play you oh okay well what what time period of my life is it covering hold on hold that thought did you see that people are sort of comparing Penelope Earl to a young cogers I did see that they think we look alike which I actually see even though when I was her age I did not look like that like a young turdy does not look like that but she does look like she could grow up to look like me which is wonderful news for her um i did see but also just like in her personality and someone said like i think she probably has a wild side that everyone should get to know she was like sort of the more reserved sister like isabel was the sort of loud and she was the one who was like making tiktoks and like following in her sister's footsteps and penelope was penelope was sort of like different you know she does horseback riding but she's very sassy i think if you're paying attention like it's all going on she thinks her older sister isabel is like moronic yeah and like and she's just like she's penelope has a bit of coge in her i expect to see great things from i do as well i got a lot of dms about that people being like do you think penelope looks like you and the thing is like when I was Penelope's age I looked nothing like that but she does look like me there is a similarity that's undeniable uncanny you should mentor her oh you know I'm always looking for new mentees to join my program as the influencer mentor do you think oh and I realized the other day we were talking about mentors and how mine's Brooke Snader and Gwyneth Paltrow um Hilary Hoffman is also I wanted to say one of my mentors both like personally and professionally That's beautiful.

1:02:44Do you think I have mentees?

1:02:50It's like a lot of work. Yeah. Like do I mentor anyone? I don't think we have a lot of like little girls who are like texting you. Like little girls. Actually, I feel like Remy Bader is your mentee. Really? I don't feel like she's ever listened to anything I've ever said. That doesn't mean that you're not her mentor. Influencing her? I actually I think that that's pretty pretty true do you think I feel like she would look at you a little bit like a mentor oh my god that's really sweet like I don't think I think if you asked her she'd be like fuck no well she'd be like Khloe Kardashian's my mentor that's what she would say of course no Claudia I think you're up there with Khloe Kardashian I do but that's just like from my opinion I think I'm up there with Khloe Kardashian also what do I know you know Nothing.

1:06:55There you go. Problem solved. Like seriously, so easy. Hey, Swirlies. SOS. I've been dating this man for almost two years and things are getting pretty serious. We're talking about getting engaged and moving in together, but I'm starting to feel uncomfortable when we discuss finances. For context, he is 20 years older than me and has three kids. I'm, of course, more than happy to pay my share of the bills, but I don't think it's fair to continue to split things 50-50 given the vast difference in our socioeconomic status. He's expecting me to help pay his mortgage, which makes me uneasy given the fact that I'm not even on the deed.

1:07:23I don't expect free passes, but also I'm not building any equity in this scenario. There are other red flags regarding money, but this example has been particularly polarizing for my friends, so I'm very curious to hear your takes. Yeah, fuck no. That's what I'm so, a daily listener. Yeah, sorry, I can't even wait. I just want to say. What the fuck? Yeah, I thought the whole point of dating someone older was not to date someone older and poor. It's to get taken care of. No, and to date someone older, it's not meant to. If Dave Ramsey heard that you were like paying a mortgage on a house you don't own, like, of course, like that's bad finances.

1:07:52But I'm just talking about like, why are you dating someone 20 years older? It sounds like there's no benefits. With kids. Like, it's not meant to be equitable. No. Like, I don't know. It's giving. You know, it reminds me of, I feel like so many Deer Toasters come back to this movie. Raising Helen? No, but a lot of Deer Toasters do also come back to Raising Helen. in education where she's like dating that older older guy um spoiler alert he ends up being married and i don't think that's happening here but he's like showing her the world and whatever and it turns out he's like hella poor and like steals art for a living and it's like what she threw her whole life away like she had she was in a fancy private school she threw her whole life away she didn't go to college just for this guy who's like poor here's the thing for so many reasons you should not split the mortgage one your name's not on the deed and you don't have equity so no two you wouldn't be living in a house of that size because it's his three kids not yours this is his house do not pay half do not pay one dollar and if you do feel like you want to contribute get your name on the deed otherwise no of course otherwise not a single dollar yeah i don't know i'm i'm really stuck on the whole age gap thing because you don't think ashley earl came into that house and started paying the mortgage we could all learn a little something from miss ashley dupre earl we all could and we all should and i think that there's probably a lot of good things and bad things that come with dating someone so much older and one of those good things is like getting taken care of so i really don't see the benefit in an age cap relationship if you're paying the mortgage no and it's like he also sounds like a dick so yeah his personality stinks he has three kids he's older like what are you doing what's the pro here yeah and i don't know like yeah i don't know sorry that happened like break definitely do not pay the mortgage yeah i I am pressing the break up with your boyfriend button.

1:09:44Because I don't see any value provided by this individual. And you said there are like other red flags when it comes to money. There shouldn't really be. But her friends are freaking about the mortgage in particular. Yeah. No. You need someone to like seriously like wave the red flags. Like this is really bad. I know. I'm like worried that you're like wasting your youth on this guy. Yeah. You are. All right. Our third and final. Hey, Swirlies. So I met this guy at church. Turns out we work at the same camp last summer. We have a lot of mutual friends, but we never knew each other. We talked during the greet your neighbor part, which I don't know what that is, before everyone sits down and we really hit it off.

1:10:21He seems like a great guy. He followed me on Instagram. We've been DMing ever since. The problem is during worship, he sings so loud. And I mean just like loud and wrong. Wrong notes, wrong words, everything. Is this something that's a deal breaker or do I just try to move past it? I know everyone around us can hear it. And I don't know if I should kindly say something to him or just not let it bother me. please help a toaster who's never had a boyfriend and doesn't know what's acceptable and what's not i think she's like getting the ick but she knows that like she's being dramatic because like everything else sounds good on paper okay you're so wrong first of all i love that for him what he worships so hard and i just want to say it would be cringier if he sounded good because then he's like trying to show off singing louder than everyone like it's actually so earnest that he sounds bad and he just wants to like pray so hard and he doesn't care what you're looking for For a God-fearing man.

1:11:05Yeah, right. Finding one who literally gives no fucks and prays too hard. I don't know. It's giving God-fearing man. It's giving makes a good husband. It's giving can your knees give out from praying too hard. Oh. Can your knees give out from praying too hard? Can you go cry from lying in the dark? I love that song. Yeah, I think that if you go to church, your dream is to meet someone at church. And you've met kind of like the mega guy at church. He churches so hard. Now, I think that like the ick factor, like I get sometimes you just see somebody doing something like you feel like you can't help it.

1:11:39But I think you can turn that ick into a click. Yes, I love that. Turn that into a click being like, all right, I could see like somebody who's like, you know, getting stared at or you could see like a God fearing man. Doesn't care what other people think who puts the Lord above everything else. And let me just restate. And I agree. You should thank God that he doesn't have a good voice. He just restated so much better that he doesn't sound good. He's not there being like Justin Timberlake. Oh my God. That is it. And that's deal breaker. That is it. And also hopefully your fellow congregants are as small minded as you were five minutes ago because no one's looking at your man then.

1:12:19No one's trying to take your man. Oh, whoa, whoa. My God did not fail. And listen, I've heard a lot of gospel worship music. It's amazing. Like, I mean, I'm a Jew and like I find myself getting really taken. And yeah, the power of prayer. Like he's just getting lost in it. I love this guy. He's lost in the sauce. I love this guy. He's lost in the sauce. You couldn't tell me a better story about the guy that you're seeing. What's next? He feeds too many hungry people? Like, please. He sounds seriously amazing. You should snatch him up before some other whore in the pew next door does. Okay. And sees what you don't see.

1:12:57The whore in the pew. Oh, and he likes you. And he likes you. He's been DMing you. Like, seriously, this is a gift from the Lord. He's paying you back for being such a good churchgoer. I just hope we're not too late. You know, I hope she hasn't ruined it. I know. And I hope he didn't feel the judgment oozing off of you. Yeah. Because there's nothing worse than feeling, like when someone makes you feel embarrassed about being excited about something. How about this? Why don't you start praying and stop focusing on what other people are praying? Yeah, and how hard can you be focusing on your prayers if you're thinking about the guy next to you singing?

1:13:26Pray harder. Yeah, and maybe pray that the Lord teaches you grace. Okay, no kidding. That's what we're here for. Yeah, seriously, you needed a good kick in the ass. And I feel like we gave it to you. And let us know when you guys can learn. Let us know when the wedding is, yeah. And I'm open to singing you down the aisle, of course. I'll sing a worship song. And maybe your husband and I can duet.
