DNPM: Friday, December 6th, 2024

0:28Good morning, Millennials. morning and I said screw sisterhood literally never done that we had work stuff this morning which pushed us back to record late which was a choice choice um but like to act like we actually have had a leash in the morning when we're seriously broke down so true we're so broke down we couldn't do video even though we maybe should have because we look actually really cute we're matching we're in pajamas but today's episode is audio only so if you're searching youtube I apologize but not only do we look disgusting in a very cute sort of way but we also have jisno on sunday and like i kind of need to preserve my on-camera flair and like my my glamorous celebrity je ne sais quoi for the swirlies coming to see us sunday at the hard rock live seminal fort lauderdale it has like a thousand names hard rock live seminal hollywood casino oh no not orlando fort lauderdale like i don't even know it's hollywood hollywood fort lauderdale florida comma what county usa yeah coward or miami-dade that's the thing we don't even know where we're going on sunday but we're so excited so this episode is giving real friday energy because there's no video and we're just kind of lax you know we're in our jammies we are we're in matching robes and yeah we would be cute for video but let's just keep talking about how cute we are and how much you guys are missing out i love we're already starting with like so many excuses like so much justification it's friday i feel like everybody just starts with like lies and excuses lies lies lies looking to my eyes eyes eyes i think we harmonized i think we might have i think we might have so it's very much a friday over here oh we are in person together if you guys flamingo maybe aren't noticing jacks and i are both in florida because obviously i headed down last night for our show on sunday thought i'd spend a couple of days with my family good decision honestly on all parts and Ben of course I think I told everyone this yesterday Ben of course was flying down so crazy Ben was flying down later than us he flew down this morning and at like eight o 'clock I texted him I knew his flight was early in the morning I wasn't sure when I'm like hey are you up are you at the airport he missed his flight and it's funny that he didn't text me because he knew what I was gonna say when we travel together this man like torments me he mocks me with like how prepared I am the fact that I insist I don't pre-board obviously but the second my boarding group is eligible like I'm the first bitch on that line like I take it really seriously for a multitude of reasons one I'm like very anal yes to I want to make sure I have enough overhead bin space because I never check a bag but I'm a very anal flyer and he's so lax he wouldn't mind being the last person on the flight like gate checking okay to me gate checking is like Armageddon so worst thing that could ever happen to me for Ben it's like free checked bag like he's so crazy so he missed his flight he didn't want to tell me because he makes fun of me all the time meanwhile have I ever missed a flight my entire fucking life yeah no no so I don't know where he is um I think he's on his way Ben is supposed to be spending the weekend with us here too but it did feel good like obviously I wasn't happy that my husband missed his flight but it felt really good to I know I'm right but like for it to be so obvious to him like think of all the times you've literally every time we travel we fight because he's like who just sit in the lounge a little bit longer no no it feels good to have a lesson learned in the hard way yeah and I don't have to be there for it you know it's by the way It's so true.

3:34And as someone who'll never first get stagecoach of 2019, when our whole family went to stagecoach together, I don't know why I can't say stagecoach. The thing about stagecoach, there is one flight a day from New York to Palm Springs. It's so hard to get to. That's direct. And we were all going together in the car. We're all loaded up in the SUV and we're meeting at Claudia and Ben's apartment because they live closest to the airport, whatever. And we're all in the car, bags are packed and Ben's not out of the apartment yet and he's in the shower. Upstairs. And not only was it like such a stressful time, but we also had a treacherous journey to the airport we like took side streets it was so much traffic so much traffic so Ben's in the front seat like knowing everybody in the back of the car wants to kill him all checking luggage and we got there and they sprinted they couldn't guarantee that our luggage would get on the flight it might have to get on the next one so the entire time on the plane we don't know if our luggage with all of our looks yep has made it onto the plane and it's like if it hasn't and we have to go back to the Palm Beach airport tomorrow to get our luggage but we have one day without anything.

4:30Very stressful. Thankfully, our luggage did make it. But I just want to say, so I can attest to the fact that Ben is not a timely traveler. So then he called me like 20 minutes later. He's like in the airport, you know, floundering, doing, wasting time. And like his day, and I would have felt bad for him, except like you said, it was a lesson that really needed to be learned. But the day just like kept coming for him. He's like, I went to Starbucks. I bought myself like one of those spinach feta egg white wrap things. I put it in a bag and I'm walking through the airport and the bag has a huge hole at the bottom of it and like my breakfast spills out onto the floor.

5:00I'm like, of course I have sympathy. You know when you have those days, like nothing go right and then your breakfast hits the floor. Seriously, I was so glad. Like it was important. The bag was a paid actor. It was important that he experienced this completely on his own. Like he couldn't blame anyone. Like he set his own alarm because I wake up, we're going to the airport. Okay, let's air flight at 8. I'm like, let's wake up at 5.30. We'll leave here at 6. He thinks that's so crazy. I would love to know what time he woke up. Right. You know? Right. Because I feel so validated and my measures are definitely extreme but better safe than sorry of course better safe than sorry so yes did was there 30 minutes that we had nothing to do in the airport we could have slept technically did we miss our flight no did he yes he did so i just feel good and that's a it's a win for naggy bitch wives everywhere honestly it really is i think there are relationships where the not a lot but sometimes like the man is the more anal one about flying but usually it's like the women timely check on the the getting to the gate making sure your gate exists before you even get a snack at the airport so this was a win for us ladies yeah you have to make sure your gate exists I guess I am like the more anal one in our relationship because Zach is such a late person like yeah he's slow perpetually late slow seriously it pains me but I don't identify as like being a like I'm not crazy about it but I'm pretty nuts I feel like I'm like so crazy that actually my normal what I think is normal is actually what other people would consider crazy Now, I've gotten to a point in my life when I get home from work, my husband says, like, what did you tell everyone about me today?

6:25Okay. And so I think he could probably guess that I would have told this story, but I know the toasters are going to DM him being like, so glad you missed your flight. He's been in China before. And he's going to be like, what did you say? And he wanted me to tell everyone, and I forgot to, so this is an important time, that the last couple of days he has brushed his teeth at night because I, like, railed on him for not brushing his teeth at night. And he's like, people are going to think I'm disgusting. I'm like, good. Then no one will want to come near you. Um, but he did want me to let everyone know, like he's working on it and he's really, he, it was important for him to say this.

6:55And I agree. He's a very clean hygienically, like his body and not like, you know, his laundry, but like he showers at least twice a day. Like he's very, he's not a dirty person. So he doesn't smell. He wants everyone to know that. And he has been brushing his teeth twice a day. That's so great. And this is what happens when you bring back shame. Accountability. People start acting right. Oh, I don't want people to think I don't brush my teeth. So let me brush my teeth so I can let them know. Right. Right. So, um, feel free to send Ben hate mail. no I'm kidding but then please don't because it like then we can't have the fun that we have just knowing that it might reach him that's no fun yeah don't tell him because then like things like this might not happen anymore yeah like it's it's just never the same like when you get a message they were talking about your spinach on the floor and they're glad you missed your flight like it just doesn't hit the same it doesn't as having the conversation and like Ben took a huge financial hit too to get on another flight because the next flight was at 7 p.m and he was like no so we had to buy another ticket so like him just being hit like you know breakfast finance is like it's a really really well-rounded punishment and i'm glad about it and i was supposed to do good guys today yes jackie was recording good guys they've been talking about it they're so excited and now it had to be postponed a couple of days yeah so you could blame that on ben too if we're making a list if you were really excited to hear me i'm good guys which i was i wonder what i love going on other people's podcasts because then like the burden is on them you have to do no work to like you know think about what they want to talk to me about like what do they want to talk to me about i feel like you and josh always end up just like going into parenting because zach josh is like a really hands-on dad yeah um so if you talk about like the culture for kids like what the kids are watching playing doing for sure yeah and then ben now like can participate a little bit so it'll be interesting to see how the pregnancy announcement will impact the dynamic of the good guys plus jacks oh for sure everybody's on the edge of their seats everybody's on the edge of their seats speaking of podcasts the redheads dropped yesterday like all the drama will he drop on the first day thursday of the month will it not i actually surprised myself and i got it up on the first thursday and such a great episode let me tell you the book like you don't have to read it if you don't think you would like it but you should listen to the episode because it was so fucking funny and we ranked our top three books of the year the official redheads ranking editor's choice reader's choice your top three books of the year that were read on the redheads or all books so because this year very few of us read books outside of the redheads we only did redheads are you doing your bracket again tip that's that's redheads madness but typically in march we suppose oh okay okay but typically we do top three redheads books of the year and top three general general but we didn't read enough general this year to be able to do two separate lists so it was just redheads got it i actually made a big dent in my redheads book god of the woods i've been like slow reading it but i had a flight yesterday so i i blew through i would say like 10 or 15 percent you know i was being slow it is a long book and like i kept taking breaks um and i'm enjoying it okay good so it's good yeah should we dive in like the episode is delayed enough like let's just keep dilly-tallying oh sure dive into um what's gonna be yesterday's episode yesterday's stories were stronger than expected that's how you describe the stories describe these for me rng really not good dnpm dnpm yeah these nuts you can guess this if you can guess this like we actually can hang up our hats and like retire okay but if i guess it let's end the episode right here like okay that's so no if you guess it read all the ads and then we'll end the episode okay hold on i need to seriously just write down dn pm i'm never gonna like i have not even a clue one of these letters put yourself in my shoes yeah what was i saying about the stories before we recorded how do i speak and that's all i'm gonna leave it at i have no idea dnpm it looks like something like when a company goes public and they have like a their ticker yeah yeah dn pm this do not pass muster oh my god i got it oh my god we have to end the episode we have to end the episode it will be our shortest it'll be 11 minutes yeah it's like 15 minutes oh my god that is so funny dn guys sound off in the comments did you guess that when jackie said it because like it is top of mind for everyone These stories do not pass muster.

Do you hear me? Yeah, you should have heard me try and recap a book nine months pregnant on the redheads where i had to do the whole synopsis of the book like it was seriously painful to listen to this is the first time i've ever like since finding out i'm pregnant like really felt inadequate in like i'm dying over here we could definitely shake things up like maybe we do like you do one i do the next one you do have a break like we'll figure things out we're very like we're good like that pregnancy friendly podcast and accessible it just occurred to me did you notice while i was like that's been happening to me a lot like the getting out of breath doing nothing no I spent the time like trying to make muster out of the stories and I think that I have you know pregnancy is interesting and I've I've been like overweight most of my life so it not a lot of like the weight gaining stuff or like the lack of movement has shocked me this is a state of life I'm you know comfortable in the thing that has shocked me most is I've actually never until recently gotten out of breath while eating that's really crazy have you seen those like die diagrams of how a pregnant woman's body changes and how all of your organs compressed.

16:49I feel it. Yeah. I am smushed. Just wait, smushy. I'm sure. Just wait, smushia. Oh my God. Smushadia. Are you ready for our first story? I don't know. You sold it like so well. No, I'm telling you, I got the stories in a play set. They are musterful. Let's hear it. Claudia, that's musterful. A bit of friendship news. Martha Stewart is fangirling over beautiful Rihanna and her very handsome Aesop Rocky at the Shoe Oscars. Yeah, it's a big week for footwear. So the Footwear News Achievement Awards, the FNNA, FNAA, sometimes known as. Why was Martha there? Sometimes known as the Shoe Oscars took place this week.

17:30Only sometimes. I mean, is there any second? Right. What is the shoe golden globe? What's the shoe PCAs, you know? Right. These awards took place. The event celebrates outstanding achievement in the footwear industry. I mean, of course it does. Literally, what else would they be celebrating? Rihanna and Martha Stewart ran into each other, and Martha posted to her Instagram, Riri, bad gal Riri, is so beautiful and statuesque, she wrote in a post, and she has a very handsome and funny boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, she added, noting that she was one of the honorees at the event held at Chip Rihanna. I just don't understand, one, why was Martha at this particular affair?

18:13I know she's fabulous, so was she just there because she's fabulous, or has she made an impact in the footwear community this year? She was presented with an Icon Award. What contributions to the footwear community has she made? I don't know. Maybe Omni Media did something. I watched her documentary and I didn't see a thing about a shoe. I didn't know. Who throws a shoe? Right. Oh, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart announced a multi-year partnership with Skechers in 2023. Oh, actually, yes. I know those commercials. and I actually think that was a great money investment. Excuse me, I can't fucking talk.

18:47It was a great money. It was a great money for Skechers because they definitely like border on irrelevant because they really are just like for old ladies. So they got the coolest old lady and her cool best friend. That was kind of genius. That should go perhaps in our Toasty Lions category. That was a very - We didn't even like really remember it. No, because it wasn't like a big stupid announcement. I just started seeing them on the commercials and you know what? I feel favored towards Skechers like when I think about it. Yeah. And that's what good marketing should do. well I like my Skechers sneakers but I love my Prada backpack she was so right for that like my Skechers sneakers like keep me alive I like them yeah sure but my Prada backpack is everything to me right you actually have a Prada backpack that you've had since like 2009 and it's probably one of the best things that you own and you use it to this day find it I mean it's here somewhere I know where it is Margo has it she totally stole it you think Satchel Cratchel you're very generous with it everyone when someone goes in your Thanksgiving TikTok with my Dior bag which by the way I let her borrow for a trip like she's going somewhere fabulous you need a fabulous yeah the perfect like i want you to have the right thing and i also said like you know what keep it like i'm like maybe it's like i'm not going out i don't need a little black bag whatever but like you could always give it back or at least give me credit in the tiktok where she gave credit to the girl whose dress she was wearing yeah yeah she shot out kate davis but couldn't tell out big sis that's so maybe she's like had it for so long she just thinks of it as her it's like it doesn't even occur to her that it's technically a borrowed bag and so many times i'm going out and i need it like i feel it's i think she's coming to visit you soon ask her to bring it i know i just feel bad that's insane that you feel bad i don't know i don't feel bad sorry that's like an overstatement just like sucks for her romeo just waltzed in the studio like from somewhere else where has romeo been and what is what has he done what is waiting for us on the other side of that door i don't know but i just want to say her getting the icon awards at the shoe oscars when she has a partnership with Skechers since last year like it's not that iconic but okay you know I guess nobody else in the space was doing anything of muster because but you don't want to give it to like Jimmy Choo yeah it's definitely Michael Kors slap in the face to people who actually manufactured shoes Vince Kamuder or like yeah of course like somebody who like a design shoes but I feel like I don't know some some people like you know what was like a shoe collab Nike does with like athletes that like break records like caitlin clark her shoe broke records yes like no shade to martha i would literally lay my life out on the line for her give her all the awards sure i just want to say like in the shoe icon category if i was a person who took like the shoe awards really seriously i would be annoyed about this yeah thankfully i'm not snoop presented her the award virtually like it's seriously giving low budget virtually i'm shocked that rihanna was there i think that she was there because asap rocky was honored yeah like it's his thing he was awarded for collaboration of the year in recognition of his partnership with puma so there's like been really big things going on in the shoe world and i feel like if you don't listen today's episode of the toast you wouldn't know and didn't rihanna have a big thing with puma too she's the creative director so she hired her mans we'd love to see women in business like doing charity it's seriously like nepotism but yeah what i feel like i feel like when we talk about couples like we're always talking about like different power dynamics like within Hollywood how like you know really powerful women like need like men in different industries because they're so we don't talk enough about how A$AP Rocky and Rihanna really are in the same industry and she is so far out of his league business wise she is clear she's a billionaire and I don't I honestly don't even know how he makes a living like I know he's done music before I don't think he's consistently releasing music I don't think he consistently does anything I think he like loves being a dad and loves being Rihanna's man he's like a professional partner yeah and he doesn't get enough credit for being like exactly what we're always saying like powerful women need we're always saying powerful women need a firefighter because so they don't compete like yeah meanwhile asap rocky here is holding it down no it can be done yes but i do feel like when we talk about them we do always mention that like okay good we just talk about them a lot maybe that's it yeah because we're always talking about her we always talk about her therein lies the issue well not an issue also i follow martha stewart on instagram so i did see this photo i was aware that she was at the footwear association of americas the faas whatever um and it reminded me because she tagged Rihanna that like Rihanna has never and most likely will never change her Instagram username like she was this up-and-coming singer and I'm sure when she made her Instagram like she thought it was funny she wasn't up-and-coming she wasn't Rihanna like she wasn't an icon no it was crazy when she did it then because Instagram came out what like 2009 like she was Rihanna and she made her name bad gal Riri and then she never changed it yeah and I love that and that just always reminds me of your friend Alicia yes when I was in high school my friend Alicia and I was like so jealous it was such a good I still call her bad gal yeah by the way a lot of people do her name is Alicia and so she did bad gal Lisi and it was a sleigh like it was so good it was such a sleigh it was such a sleigh and it she eventually changed it I think maybe she thought it like wasn't like mature or appropriate like she had her reasons you know as we all do and the impact that it left it never went away no like when I see her bad gal yeah yeah you actually you do say that I always call her bad gal it's and what a nickname because by By the way, nobody's ever in their life been less bad than my friend Alicia.

23:52Like, she's the least bad ever. She's bad to the bone. Na-na-na-na-na. Bad to the bone. I love that song. Are you ready for our next story? Hopefully it's some more footwear news. No, it is more Wicked news because Ari is tearing up while addressing the, quote, dangerous comments about her weight. So in a new interview, Wicked, you know, the press tour works, her and Cynthia sitting down. she um was asked by a french reporter how she copes with society's beauty standards and the overwhelming pressure women feel to always look perfect the pop star was immediately overcome with emotion she said shocker she said my goodness i'm not gonna she let out trying not to cry good question i've seen a lot of clips of them crying on this press door and at this point like whatever i'll allow it i just wish they would stop stop talking no no stop trying to not cry like just the tears are coming let them flow stop acting like you're shocked that this is happening just like let it i was watching her on zach's like every clip i watch they're like oh my god oh and they're here just let them out like yeah and especially this is probably one of the more sensitive conversations they're gonna have like just let the tears fall bruno farted bruno farted i don't even smell it claudia oh never mind and he seriously didn't even move a muscle he's still asleep like that is the level of unbothered i aim to be especially my pregnancy like where all these things are happening to my body oh my god and also just reminds me of her song right now i'm in a state of mind i want to be in it all the time ain't got no tears left to cry incorrect i'm beginning it's such a good song have you ever heard the camilla cabello demo of that i feel like we talk about this all the time no i haven't are you sure it's that song yes that was like a music is that what you're saying that was like a demo that went around the music industry that like a lot of the pop swirlies either sampled or thought about putting on like a lot of them recorded I believe Bebe Rexha also has a version out there and Ari was the one I don't know if there was like a battle over it or nobody wanted an Ari took it I don't know how it worked um but there are versions of that song recorded by other artists which is just interesting that is interesting so she said when asked about the the pressure and the standards she said my goodness I'm not gonna good question then she was confronted by Cynthia who joined her for the sit down she said I've been kind of doing this in front of the public and kind of been a specimen in the Petri dish really since I was 16 or 17 so I've heard it all I've heard every version of it of what's wrong with me and then you fix it and then it's wrong for different reasons but that's everything from even just the simplest thing your appearance you know she explained that it's hard to protect yourself from that noise and you're young and you're hearing all kinds of things she said I think that it's something that is uncomfortable no matter what scale you're experiencing on even if you go to Thanksgiving and someone's granny says oh my god you look skinnier what happened or you look heavier what happened she emphasized that being on the receding end of those comments regardless of who you are is horrible she said i think in today's society there's a comfortability that we shouldn't have at all commenting on others looks appearances what they think is going on behind the scenes or health or how they present themselves right because the the overwhelming consensus with aria's no one say she looks bad like they're just like um it is coming from a place of concern because she is so thin although i think people think that it's like a new thinness and if you look back she really has been at this weight for like last like three four years it is a low weight it's small um and i don't know where where i land on this or where we as a society landed on this like you probably should never be talking about anyone's body because you would certainly never say like wow that person's huge like you wouldn't say the opposite right so one shouldn't be okay and the other shouldn't but if you are coming from a like a troop like sometimes somebody you know losing a drastic amount of weight is like a health issue or they're going through like people in abusive relationships like drop weight like it can be an indicator it can also be nothing right sometimes someone's always been small and they've actually they gained weight at the time and then they're back to their original weight and you're like wait why are you so thin and they're like oh I've actually always been like this there's always a million things going on I've seen a lot of stuff about her and Cynthia dropping a lot of weight yeah and I keep seeing these comparison photos they're like pictures of them before Wicked and pictures them after and they use these photos from like the Olympic ceremony opening that they went to and like the lighting is hard it's seriously poot level yeah and like stop using that one fucking picture on that ugly bad day with the overcast lighting yeah they look bad and ghostly that's not they look beautiful people are like what happened on that set yeah yeah because they chose a picture in like perfect lighting before they both look malnourished like and then in the second they look like they've had their souls sucked out of their bodies they look like Voldemort like like it's just a bad picture it's a poop moment yeah chalk it up to a poop moment they look beautiful on the press store they look beautiful in the movie they look fine they look healthy they're grown women they obviously like the way that they look leave them alone yeah and then you also have to think about like what sort of issues they both have just being a woman in the industry like people always being talked about your body so like why don't we just leave everyone alone okay yeah yeah and it's a really good place to start and I really do feel like as a society we've stopped doing that like people don't talk like back in the day the way they used to talk about cover of every magazine like jessica simpson in those jeans like such crazy things and I feel like we've mostly moved past that so it does feel like a bit of a regression here yeah and it must be really annoying to see yeah but do you remember like a time when all the it girlies like lindsey paris nicole were like emaciated and like skeletal yeah and they would be on the cover of every magazine like with their bones out that was so crazy yeah like that's what we used to grow up in the supermarket like that's what we would say yeah that was just like that was also the look that was the look like it was in fashion like the looks change but like regardless just everyone's on their own journey leave them alone she's obviously like very happy and it's true and she's like a person who's like and she likes how she looks must be nice you know they say like nothing tastes as good as skinny feels i was just having this conversation with someone and i've thought about that phrase a lot because i used to like be very i used to be very anti that phrase but that was because i had never been skinny then i became skinny and i actually do believe like being in control of your body like is just as good as a donut like maybe maybe not one is better than the other but they both have extraordinary merit you couldn't say which one's better the donut is fleeting yeah I guess I would say like feeling healthy feeling good being in control of your weight it feels better literally than and then anything could possibly taste I can attribute that and there are some I've eaten some delicious things yeah but also like if you're in control of your body like you should you are able to eat those things like you can have both you can actually have things that taste as good as skinny feels and be skinny yes to a degree to a degree of course you can have it for every meal but like that's part of like a healthy balance like you can have a little treat yeah a sweet treat oh i just had like five sweet treats i went through jackie's halloween candy it was so good i fucking worth it we needed a sugar boost we needed a boost before to before this episode we were kind of like crashing that you know at one o 'clock crash are you ready for our next story number three yes kind of surprising news tell me amber heard is expecting baby number two she's delighted both for herself and her daughter una page who was three and a half now i have a lot of thoughts but let me just share the deets yeah because elon totally donated his seed of course to have a sister or brother for una his other child and for x yeah but like a step sibling for our working theory and i think a lot of people's theory and nobody's dispelling it nobody's talking about it because it's like you know not our business and i can recognize that but i'm curious uh amber heard has a three and a half year old daughter nobody knows who the father after her relationship with johnny depp so that is also when she dated elon nobody knows who the father is um there is space for it to have been you know how much he loves procreating it's like one of his favorite hobbies there also were a lot of rumors and it did kind of make sense that he was helping her financially a lot during her trial with johnny depp because you know she that was like lawyers like that for a case that's millions and millions of dollars and she actually said on trial she has very little work these days because of the whole johnny depp thing so i believe that these two are definitely incommunicado i feel like they are like friendly exes and i could totally her seeing her having either gotten pregnant or literally asking him for help and then she wanted another one so ready to go of course to una's dad and she's like living abroad now spain i don't know if she's really working like i do feel like elon is footing the bill for a thousand percent amber and his child and then she wants another kid and like he loves donating sperm and procreating like i would need someone to seriously tell me the truth in order for me to stop believing this because like this makes sense to me but there are like a couple mysteries in hollywood when it comes to paternity january jones every there's rumors that it's bobby flay for her dad is her baby daddy like they're of course mindy keeling people think it's bj novak we have no confirmation all those are really rumors don't even conflate exactly bj with this like exactly seriously certifiably true rumor because there's not a better alternative before we continue this is just my quarterly check-in to see if amber heard still follows me on social media she follows 54 people and i am one of them all throughout the trial i don't know why she's gonna like love being pregnant with you oh my god my pregnant sister have we ever dm'd oh my do we have you should like to dm her and be like mazel tov so happy for you oh my god i responded to one of her stories in 2018 and then in 2019 she responded to one of my stories killing the game babe i don't even know what i was referring to you were killing the game she said that to me now you were killing the game i could see her talking like that i know that you were and i was like and i'm so obnoxious i'm like oh my god stop i look so ugly like i could i be like a lot more down on myself Seriously.

33:06Okay, we haven't spoken since 2019, but I always check to see if she still follows me. And she does, and that's major. It is. A spokesperson for her says, it's still quite early in the pregnancy, so you'll appreciate that we do not want to go into too much detail at this stage. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted for both herself and Una Page. Una. Una, Una, Una. Una, Una, Una. That's nice. Yeah. I feel like she's so done. she is so done like with everyone and everything even the country like she's just living her best life like i'm surprised we even knew this that's how off the grid i feel she is yeah i just i like my version of events definitely um regard this it seems like this is like a happy next chapter for her so it's good it's good go forth and prosper and multiply and multiply be fruitful and multiply before you dive into the next story let me just let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Prolon.

34:03Did you know that there's a nutrition plan that doesn't just help you lose weight, but actually has been shown to lower your biological age score? It's called Prolon by L-Nutra. And here's the craziest part. It's a fast, but it does include food. So full disclosure, I'm sure like many of you, very, you know, trepidatious of a diet that includes fasting because the thought of not eating for an extended period of time really sounds horrible. But Prolon by L-Nutra is a fast with food and it'll make you rethink everything. So introducing Prolon, a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe that they're fasting.

34:34Researched and developed for decades at the University of Southern California Longevity Institute and backed by leading US medical centers, Prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, supports cardiovascular health, and it reduces abdominal fat. But keep in mind that Prolon is not a diet, it is science. And it's science based on Nobel Prize winning discoveries in medicine. It all starts with Prolon's five-day program, which includes snacks, soups, beverages. They're all designed to keep your body in a fasting state. So it's a fast, right? But you're literally eating and drinking stuff. And that's, I think, kind of magical how they've tricked your body into thinking that it's fasting.

35:04So you're getting all the benefits, but you're able to have a snack. So it's really unlike anything you'll ever experience. And right now they are offering Toast listeners 15 % off their five-day nutrition program. Only when you go to prolonlife.com slash toast.

38:46Hawk to a creator. Oh, I know. I'm familiar. Is being criticized for her meme coin launch after the price crashes. So Haley Welch, the 22 year old woman who achieved Internet fame this summer for her viral Hawk to a TikTok video. You guys, we all know her. She's affectionately called Hawk to a she launched her own meme coin in her latest career move only for its value to plummet almost immediately. so I also can't tell what part of these articles are just like anti-Hawk to a slant and I feel like there's a lot of that so I need you to help me sift through no but like what you just said is all facts they said they call it bizarre I took that out I think it's bizarre like I said her latest bizarre career move as if she has a lot of bizarre well that's wrong she actually doesn't she spends like literally every dollar she makes on animal rescuing she's actually a really the more I know about her the more I actually really like her the reason why I'm really reticent to like go all in like Hawk to a fucked up is because like I actually like trust talked to and I just I feel like she's being misrepresented okay I don't know if I trust talked to well but let me say there I think two things can be true here one it's a it's a bizarre move like and I didn't I don't really understand and maybe this is my lack of like a finance degree how you can like create a coin but I know that's how crypto works like you doge like how the fuck can you create a coin I guess somebody had to create you know um ethereum like all of the popular ones so she tried to create the next bitcoin and people are upset because when they bought it immediately went down in value so it's like going to the stock market you buy disney shares for 50 dollars in the second you buy them they're worth 10 cents like why did that happen why would disney go down not only that i feel like that's what doesn't make sense if you're at a place where you have money to just frivolously frivolously spend on hawk to us new coin like that's money that you can lose and i also think there needs to be like a level this is the second truth I'm holding space for a level of personal accountability like I am very like serious about money like I'm very fiscally conservative like and I like Hawk 2 I don't know if I trust her but I like her and like I would never in my life spend one single dollar on her coin it's like a new I don't know if there's success with like creator based coins like I don't know enough about this okay so here are the deets Haley launched the Hawk 2 a coin widely seen as a meme coin or a form of cryptocurrency that's typically created for entertainment purposes on the Solana blockchain on Wednesday evening.

40:59Of course she did. I mean, who wouldn't do Solana? I love the Solana blockchain of all of the blockchains. That's my favorite one. It's a really, really strong one. I don't disagree. That's a good point. Her coin quickly hit a market capitalization of nearly$500 million. What? Before immediately plummeting 95 % to 25 million as of Thursday afternoon, according to Dex Screener data. Yeah, so this is where my lack of a finance degree or like a genuine understanding of cryptocurrency limits my ability to do my job yeah and the um the launch appeared to result in big losses for some traders coffee zilla who's a crypto youtube or with more do you know coffee zilla i mean who doesn't um he said in a he said in a tense x space conversation with welch and her team that the hawk to a rollout was quote one of the most miserable horrible launches i've ever seen a cruising welch and her team of insider trading, which they denied.

41:53Well, here's the thing. I'm not going to pretend to understand. How do you roll out a coin better than they did? Yeah, and the thing is, isn't that how the market works? Like, why is it Hawk to his fault that the value went down? Wouldn't the value be predicated on, like, how many people want to buy it? Like, that's not Hawk's fault, is it? No, I don't think so. And, like, at the end of the day, what the fuck are they buying? Does it have value? But that's crypto. Like, crypto doesn't have value. It doesn't, it's not real. Like, it doesn't exist. But it does. Look at Bitcoin. 100 grand for a coin.

42:20Yeah. do we need to be launching swirly coin the thing is i can't handle another scandal like and if we launch swirly coin i'm sure codezilla would think that it's coffeezilla mine's better codezilla would think it's insufficient and that it was a bad rollout like i'm not interested in getting the panties of the doge community in a twist yeah also like he hit her with that insider trading like i'm running so far that's an allegation like yeah any sort of business venture that could potentially land us in jail i am so out on you know there are certain things that influencers creators celebrities do i mean how many celebrities endorsed ftx how many celebrities endorsed fire festival i want to you guys know my biggest fucking fear in life is going to jail like i wouldn't do even if they said turdy we can guarantee you make 10 million dollars do turd coin no because come on turd coin that's what the world needs my freedom is worth way more than 10 million dollars if they said a billion for you and your family to get out of jail in a couple of years I'd think about it for sure yeah okay well I'm gonna be dreaming about turd coin you should by that you can't afford it I just like need to know what Hawk was trying to do I feel like Hawk's side of the story is not being told here she has a podcast maybe like she's recording right now yeah this all went down yesterday yeah I just I don't I can't provide commentary I can only share these things I'm reading.

43:45But what you're saying is that you're trusting your faves when it comes to a little bit like a little I think that I don't understand what she did wrong. She hasn't given us reason to think that she's like a criminal inside trader like I don't understand what she did wrong. She said I'm launching Hawk coin and people bought it and then it dropped. I don't know why they bought it and I don't know why it dropped and why it's Hawk's fault. And I think that like there needs to be accountability for people who buy things that can increase and decrease in value like okay and so the thing you bought decreased.

44:08That's not the fault of the thing you bought it like where's the personal accountability in investing romeo yeah in investing i agree now how's your dogecoin doing oh is that time of the year where i check how upsettingly like you should have bought one bitcoin and you'd have 100 when i was like first thinking about doing crypto doge was i mean doge bitcoin was still 60k yeah it's more now okay I actually have a little bit of Ethereum. Okay. And oh my God, I've made$300. Oh my God, look at me. When did I buy Ethereum? That's so weird. You're making your money work for you. Oh my God. And then I also have Doge and I have made three one hundredths of a cent, 0.0035 cents.

44:55And I don't know how you would like make more or less. There was a time when I had like$300 surplus in Doge. That was the time to sell. That was the time to sell. but yes I did you see how like Dave Portnoy he had like owned a bunch of Bitcoin and then he did an episode with the Winklevoss twins and they like confused him so much that he got nervous and sold all his Bitcoin and now it's what it is. Yikes. I can't believe I own Ethereum. Can we just go back to that? Ben must have like told me to do it and like I put like five dollars in. What do you mean you can't believe you own Ethereum? Am I supposed to be what is that?

45:23You don't know Ethereum? No I don't know Ethereum. It's like after Bitcoin the most popular coin. Oh okay. And um people say you know Ethereum to the moon that's what they say. Um and what about Pepe coin do you know about that peppa the pig there's pepe coin here another meme coin also here meme coins though are considered highly volatile and risky by crypto investors as they are dependent on social media trends like of course yeah you are putting your money behind pepe coin by the way this is really interesting you know i have a i have a little bit of money in robin hood like not a lot and i invest in like you know apple disney like lame boring things um Um, and overall.

46:00Do you have Tesla? Uh, I did at one point. Do I still? So you hold on to it. No, I don't. I should have. A couple of, so over my all time investments, I have made$660. And what's crazy is that. Claudia, that's not good. 300 of it comes from Ethereum. So half of my earnings. Your portfolio stinks. I know, but I don't monitor it. Would you put in$10, the free$10 that they give you? No, don't be rude. I like put in like that much. And you've made$600? Yeah. That's not good. It's not? No. Yeah. Well, at one point it was higher. I don't know. Everything's green on my app today, so it looks good. Look, look how much green.

46:42Everything's up. You sound like a fool. I sound like a fool, yeah. Yeah, I should probably like - It's green. I should probably like divest all this money. The charts could be going down, but if they're colored green, like it's a good thing. Green is good. Green is up. Anyways, Haley, like I look forward to hearing more, and I'm going to give you space. Oh, of course. I'm giving Hayley Grace. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? For actually you. Our fifth and final story is for you. Okay, not me. Our big Harry Potter fan. Harry Potter HBO series will film in summer 2025 after 32 ,000 kids auditioned for the lead role.

47:19Oh, that's interesting because before you said that fact, I said DNPM. Does not pass my star. Like who gives a fuck? Sorry, lead roles because there's like multiple kids in the lead role. so warner brothers i mean who would who seriously wouldn't want to be like daniel radcliffe like he never has to work he's a billionaire but do you think that the series is going to do what the movie did could possibly people who are like small-minded think that it will yeah so during a presentation at warner brothers discoveries headquarters in london on thursday the show runner and director revealed that the show had auditioned 32 000 kids for the lead roles that just seems unnecessary for like one casting director to meet 32 000 kids a lot of tape The casting team is currently reviewing between 500 and 1 ,000 audition tapes per day with the intent to watch every single one.

47:59Though he affirmed that they haven't made any choices in regards to casting yet, he said the next step will be to workshop with some of their shortlisted candidates in January. So they still, so like they still don't have a lead? They're still watching tapes is what they're saying. I hope they pick like all unknowns because now it's like, well then you watch these tapes for nothing if you're just going to pick the person from over there. I actually think that being a casting director is a job I'm so unqualified for I have no imagination like if you're not exactly what I'm picturing in my head like I can't see you because when people get cast for things I'm always like that sucks and it ends up being good you know like I think that that's a job I wouldn't do very well I actually think I'd be okay I think I could see it you think you have vision yeah I think you do too big vision yeah um but yeah I would say overall like this story isn't full of muster you don't need to like talk about it more if you don't want like I'm okay to like kind of wrap um do you have anyone like in mind for no I don't even know what the prequel is about but I do know this will probably be the thing because I guess JK Rowling gets a piece of this of course right is it a prequel no I think it's just a series I think they're just like doing it again oh oh the same story it's a series well if it's Harry Potter like she gets let me just confirm and we were just talking about how she's close to billionaire status again after becoming a billionaire and giving away all of her money so she was at 800 million the last time I checked and this new franchise could bring her over the edge and then she could give the billions away again yeah it really seems like it's the same as the books just new.

49:18Coomza Fresh. Just in time for me to have watched all the old crap. Right. Now you're going to miss like the Yossified Harry Potter on HBO Max. Oh yeah. They're going to do what they did like with Pretty Little Liars. Like make it like new age. Everybody like has cell phones and like blue hair. And like Botox. And big lips. Yeah. Yeah. Love. Well, I would say that with the exception of the fifth story, those definitely pass muster. I enjoyed all of them. Okay. You sold it poorly. I think it's good when I set the bar low. It's true. You know, you really were expecting the worst. It's good when you set the Lisa bar low.
