24:18It's a different approach to weight management, focused on helping the body work smarter without the tradeoffs of prescription options. So the absorption company is a supplement brand. That's kind of solving the biggest problem with supplements is that whether or not your body is absorbing them at all.

26:49Claudia Oshry:Thank you, T-U-R-T. You're welcome. Our first story, Alex Cooper is pushing back on Dave Portnoy's claim that she planned a sexual harassment allegation to exit Barstool. So a little back story. By the way, I knew none of this. Did you? I did. It was familiar, yes. Oh, my God, that's crazy. Dave, like, said this kind of made quite a large allegation against Alex Cooper in his book, which just came out. It was, like, New York Times bestseller. Yes. It came out in June. And he had said when he was recapping the call her daddy saga from his POV, he said that the girls had said that if Dave didn't let them out of their contract, they were going to allege that they were sexually harassed at barstool.

27:27Claudia Oshry:Like they'll make up assault claims. Yes. And I just want to say, like, if you knew those two bitches at the time, like if you were following their podcast or their YouTube, like they were crazy. Like that is 1000 percent something that they would have said. Like they were very. You know, Alex now she's like very woke. buttoned up oh my god those two bitches were insane like yes the i think the idea that like someone like alex hooper who we now know would ever do something like this is like preposterous no it's like very on brand with those two crazy bitches they were wild and out and also if you think about like barstool's reputation to its detractors people would have believed that yes um and them being like this like biggest female podcast and then allegations people would have eaten it up.

28:10Claudia Oshry:Yeah. No, it's honestly like a, it's kind of a good threat. Like if you think about it, because it would have been believable at the time. So she went on CNBC to talk about her big deal. She's doing press for this investment we talked about yesterday. This$500 million from Patrick Whitesell, former Mr. Lawrence Sanchez-Bezos. And by the way, his company's called WTSL. Whitzel. Yeah. Obsessed. Like Whitesell. I'm obsessed. Whitzel. I love when people drop the consonants. Like your husband. He goes by Zwinrub. Zwinrub. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Zwinrub. I love it. so Andrew Ross Sorkin was the interviewer oh and slay to this random CNBC I don't think he's so random well I think he's maybe like well known and respected in like the finance investment space like I never heard of his show interviews in the New York for the New York Times I think I've never heard of him like is he brothers with Aaron no way are you sure oh I don't know but like that would be crazy I think that he is I just want to say I like when people like ask real questions I didn't know this was something we were waiting to hear from Alex Cooper on because again I did not know that this was a thing I had not heard this until yesterday um and they're not related I'm shocked she's coming on despite they have the same last name and they both grew up in Scarsdale oh that is weird yeah she's coming on for completely unrelated purposes and he pulls this out of his like back pocket I'm obsessed like these are the types of questions like you want your journalists to ask so Andrew Ross Sorkin brought up the claim that Dave made and asked her, you know, if that's true.

29:34Claudia Oshry:And she said, I've been pregnant, Andrew. I'm busy building a child. When he asked why she hadn't addressed the claim sooner. She continued, whenever I see Dave online, we all enjoy his banter. He's a very entertaining person and I have a very great and complicated relationship with Dave. He gave me my start in this industry and I will never not be grateful to him. Oh, and by the way, Patrick Weissel is just sitting there. That's Patrick? I thought it's the husband. No, I think it was Patrick. I saw him there too. No, I think it was Matt Kaplan. Really? Yeah, I haven't seen Patrick. That makes it better.

30:02Claudia Oshry:I didn't see them out and about with Patrick. I saw Patrick doing an interview with Alex. Oh, okay. But perhaps you're right. Sorry, you guys. As she went on, she admitted that she has not read Dave's book yet, but she pushed back on his account. She said, that's not how I remember it at all. Still, she didn't outright deny Dave's claim. She added, but I'm also like, Dave's got his version and I've got my version and we're all good. When she was asked by Aaron if she wanted to tell her version of the drama, she laughed and responded, no. I am in my mother era. I'm no drama right now, Andrew. We're here to talk business.

30:331 ,000 % she said it. That was basically an admission of guilt. I appreciate that she didn't lie. No, that's actually very true. I'm just trying to see. There's someone sitting next to her. It doesn't matter, but she was doing interviews with Patrick. I just saw he was talking about the creator economy. Sorry, I lost my train of thought. my one criticism here is like I do feel that when you're pregnant like you get special treatment sorry you do um but like she's like literally like throwing her pregnancy like like in front of the bus like I I didn't like her response in that way um although I do feel that pregnant women get a little bit of like protection like she shouldn't have had to answer that question but like it was asked you're doing press like especially in the last couple of months there's been like I feel like she doesn't really ever do press like sit down interview live style like business stuff like this stuff and it's all like it's fluff like number one female podcaster but this is like a live interview you can go kind of rogue and I feel like for all the times for her to do it like this is not the time she's this is the first time ever in her career where she's had like skeletons and like people like questions you would want to avoid yeah so I'm surprised

31:42Claudia Oshry:on CNBC like they're not going to really ask about Sophia and like the tea with Alex Earl yeah but This is a semi-business conversation to talk about how you left your former employer. I just felt like when she was asked, it felt like she was... I didn't see the rest of the interview, but the way she answered, it felt like she was so inconvenienced to be there. Like, Andrew, why am I talking to you? I'm like, you went on to this show. So I appreciate that she didn't lie. I would love to hear from Sophia because I feel like Sophia would be honest. Would own it. It is my personal belief that they 1 ,000 % said that.

32:16Also, when you write a book that's published by, like, a major publishing house, the legal team, like, does have to go over it with you extensively. Like, if you are going to be making claims, that's why a lot of people, like, say, unnamed. Like, you know, Jeanette McCurdy said the producer. Like, a lot of times you have to, like, pull stuff or make it. So for him to have said, like, they said this on this day makes me think that it's sort of, like, irrefutable.

32:35Claudia Oshry:Yeah, or that he has something to back that up. Right. I do believe that they 1 ,000 % said that. And then I just have to like mention, because when she said this, it was the first thing that came to mind when she said, you know, she's in her mother era and she wants no drama. She did start the Alex Earl drama in her mother era and brought on like the greatest drama of all time. It's a conflict. She's conflicting. So that's just not true in my head. But, you know, she doesn't want to answer the question. No, of course not. Who would? And she has a good excuse, you know, because really, what are you going to say?

33:08Claudia Oshry:even though Andrew did follow up and I think Andrew is very like persistent and prestigious in his field. So he doesn't have to be afraid. No, like I can't ask this. Like I think sometimes when you're asking like a salacious question, it's sort of like a gotcha. Like I also feel like sometimes when you ask your salacious question, like you get scared and then you don't follow up. You just like, I got it out. Yeah. Right. But then when he followed up and said, do you want to tell us your version? She was like, I don't Andrew. Yeah. I mean, I guess like to be brought down into this like internet drama when she's like, Like, she keeps trying to elevate out of, like, she tried to elevate out of Barstool.

33:40This is not internet drama. This is business drama. Like, Dave would be on CNBC himself. But she, like, doesn't want to go there with Dave. No. She does not want to cross him. Neither of them want to cross each other. Right. Although him putting that in the book is like.

33:53Claudia Oshry:Well, he wants to tell his story and sell his book. And he doesn't need to protect her, but he also doesn't need to make an enemy of her. And she feels the exact same about him. As she said, she has a great and complicated relationship with him. Yeah, I mean, her, it just sort of like goes against the image she's trying to build for herself and has been trying for all these years as like this, you know, female savior. But it's like, Barstool's just sort of like the polar opposite of everything Call Her Daddy has become. Call Her Daddy's like very mainstream, very like female focused. It's kind of woke, like, and Barstool's just like the total opposite.

34:29So it doesn't really like make sense for her anymore to like be friends with Dave and like have Dave on the pod, you know? I don't think he's been on the pod in there. In a while. No, and I actually think that their relationship is the most fractured it's ever been. But it's not there yet.

34:41Claudia Oshry:And the time for him to go on the pod would have been to promote this book. And he didn't. Yeah. Well, that would be like a weird place. Because he's talking about her in the book. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. Yeah. So there's definitely like, you know, they walk on eggshells a little bit. Yeah, but neither one of them wants to like start stuff. No. Even the way Dave was doing like Tea by the Sea about Alex v. Alex. Like he was not going there. He was not going there, and he wasn't really turning on either one of them. I think it's time for Sophia to chime in. I know. I know she's probably just waiting for her book to speak for itself, and I get wanting to push everything to that, but she kind of needs to speak up.

35:16Yeah, because I feel like she would cop to it. 1 ,000%. You guys, there's not even a question to me of whether or not they said it. They obviously did. They were so nutty. They were. They were so young.

35:28Claudia Oshry:And I think it's like people can change. We actually have a story at the end of the show about Whitney Levitt. And I was just thinking about, I don't know why, like how she was like the Neku dancing mom. She was the Neku dancing mom, yeah. And now she is like the most prestigious Broadway actress. And like people can change. And so I have no issue with Alex having been one person at Barstool and growing up and becoming a different person. It's just this is like a new bit of information that she has to answer for from that time when like I do think for the most part she's distanced herself and, you know, said how she's grown and she's not like that anymore.

35:59Claudia Oshry:But now it's like, yeah, you got to go back there. The thing is, is when she left Barstool, like, nobody really questioned her. And so she was able to, like, successfully transition to this girl boss. And now you guys are all asking her questions about five years ago. And it's like, I hate when people do that. But it's like, nobody asked at the time. At the time. Like, they just sort of let her get by, like, throwing her friend under the bus, shooting her friend in the back. And so now, yeah, all these things are coming up. And it's, like, not convenient because she has moved on. And she is pregnant.

36:24It's, like, not relevant. But nobody was really questioning her at the time. So it's like, well, somebody needs to ask at some point. but like now's not really the time.

36:30Claudia Oshry:Yeah. But she's on the show and the book just came out and if you don't want to answer questions, don't do live interviews. Don't do a live interview right now until I understand like not wanting to bring on drama in your pregnancy. She's also I think in her third, I don't know. Late second trimester. Because she's traveling. She has gestational diabetes. Yeah. You do not want stress. So I understand when she says like I'm not courting drama right now. I hear, I agree. I'm keeping it light and I'm keeping it moving. Agreed. And I'm taking the dog. However, recorded drama. Recorded drama back. You did start this whole thing.

37:01Claudia Oshry:But that was before the pregnancy ramped up. You know, things change. And she does have GD, and that's very difficult. Extremely. I know, because Dana had it. So if you want me to make you a loaf of sourdough, Alex, I would love to. Yeah, fun fact, you can have sourdough. You can have sourdough. Dana lived off my sourdough. It's the only thing you can eat. You can't even eat fruit. I'll give you some of my starter and my recipe that I just wrote down. She would love that. I would love that. And she would love that. So yeah, I thought that was interesting. Interessant. Next story, a little biz news.

37:29Claudia Oshry:And sports news. The Lakers have been sold to ex-Disney chief Bob Iger and Carly Closs' husband, Josh Kushner, for a record-making$12 billion. Actually, lots of sports news. I don't know if you saw also yesterday, the Yankees sold to private equity. It's like the first time private equity has been involved. What's private equity? I don't know. People were saying it's a big deal because private equity. Is that a company? No, private equity is like an industry. Right, it's sold to an industry. No, but it's sold to a big firm in the industry. Quotes out to private equity Yeah Whatever that means Well Who was the guy Who owned the Lakers Who had the girlfriend Donald Sterling Do you remember him?

38:05And they did that Like really crazy interview He was like this 80 year old man And she was like 25 And it was just like There was a time Where you couldn't Open a newspaper Or a magazine Without it being All about Donald Sterling And that was like One of the better times Of my personal life

38:18Claudia Oshry:It sounds familiar Right? Yeah But an ownership group Led by Josh Kushner And Bob Iger Is purchasing the franchise for the LA Lakers for over$12 billion, ESPN reported. The news comes less than a year after Mark Walter bought the team from the Buss family for then$10 billion, so very profitable for Mr. Walter. It's also crazy that at one point, one singular— I feel like now we hear a lot about groups buying teams because they're getting so expensive, but to be a singular family to own, that's such a sleigh. It is, and a great investment. Yeah, of course. Bob and Josh said in a statement, As lifelong NBA fans.

38:53Is Jared not there too? I saw the picture. Like he was there too. In just the picture.

38:57Claudia Oshry:I'm not seeing anything about Jared. Oh, okay. Yeah. Not seeing anything about him in this deal. As lifelong NBA fans, we are deeply honored for the opportunity to become stewards of the LA Lakers, one of the most iconic sports franchises in the world. We have immense respect for the leadership and vision of Jerry and Jeannie Buss. I guess they're also staying on as like governor of the team. The Buss? I saw something that said like Jeannie Buss will stay on as governor. Slay Jeannie. Our long-term commitment is to build on that foundation, compete at the highest level, and serve this extraordinary team, its fans, and the city of L.A.

39:26Claudia Oshry:Great. What do you think is the most – I feel like we've had this conversation before. I'm having deja vu. The most valuable sports team in America? Because I remember you saying you think it was the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, but I don't know if that was just NFL. But what do you think is more valuable, a football team or a basketball team? I feel like football. Because the stadiums are bigger. But there's so many less games. But, like, yeah, I do. So then it would be the Cowboys. What is the most valuable sports team in America? Question mark. Any league.

39:56It might be the Lakers right now because they were just valued at 12. Right. Oh, wait. Dallas Cowboys. Most valuable. That's insane. They stink. Like, why? So, oh, yeah. They're saying 13 bill. For the Cowboys. For the Cowboys. This Forbes list has not been updated because number two was 11 billion for the Golden State Warriors. I guess now Lakers are number two. Or Golden State Warriors are worth more now. or Golden State Warriors.

40:18Claudia Oshry:Why are the Cowboys so valuable again? Why are you asking me? You're like the Dallas girl. Chet doesn't have it there. Okay, wait, but let me just say. So it goes, number one is an NFL team. It's mostly NFL or NBA. There's not one NHL team. I stand by what I said earlier in the week that the NHL is not mainstream. Just football and basketball. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Tied for, because I thought the Yankees. Tied for 10th place is the Chicago Bears, which is NFL, with the New York Yankees. Okay. Which is$8.2 billion. And baseball has a lot of games and still not as valuable. I know. One thing about me, like I would never want to be a baseball player.

40:52You're never home. You have more games than any other league. But you do get paid, I think, more than others. But I don't know why I have the impression like baseball players like have happy lives and marriages and families. Oh, I don't have that vibe at all. Really? Like I think there are definitely like happy people. I'm not saying that. But like I think that if you're like a wag and you're a baseball wag, like you're jealous of the football and basketball. Actually, basketball is a lot of games.

41:15Claudia Oshry:Maybe you have a hard schedule. Like a lot of them are married. A lot of them are married and stay married. Yeah. And there's not as much drama. Like the NFL, the NBA is so much relationship turnover. No, I think that like there is, but it's again, it's like not. But when I think about like the celebrity baseball relationships, Kate Upton. There are a couple. Who? Kate Upton. Kate Upton, Joanna Garcia Swisher. Your friend Pete and his wife have a beautiful, beautiful life. And Jeter, Hannah Jeter. Hannah Jeter. I believe that. Although a lot of those relationships happened after. Like Derek and Hannah Gita were after.

41:49Claudia Oshry:That's the only one. Yeah. Kate Upton, yeah, she went to the World Series. I think that Jesse James Decker's sister, Sydney's husband, was a baseball player. Also, baseball teams are really big. There are a lot of random, unknown players. Yeah, you can hire somebody in the league. You've never heard of their husband, you know? In the league of a picturesque ridge. Lies a small, unpretentious one. Yeah. Yeah, so if I had it my way, I would... I mean, you have to deal with the CTE and having a brain-dead husband. But football, I think, is the most flex. Yeah. It's 18 games. You have to consider CTE.

42:27Absolutely you have to consider CTE. Same with hockey. And then your man comes home without a tooth. What about Gakaba? I think it has to be basketball. But basketball is 82 games.

42:36Claudia Oshry:Okay. Good. Your man's working. He's out. It's true. It's important for men to have hobbies. It's important for them to get out of the house. 1000%. And I guess like 40 of those games. Maybe that's why baseball is so successful. Yeah, because it's like over 100. They're always working. Like, they don't have time to be bored. I don't know. This is the devil's workshop. It's true. Never forget it. I can't, like, sit next to a box of potatoes and not eat them. I'm sorry. I know I'm breaking, like, the cardinal rule of eating. I'll read the story and you eat. How's that? Hargie. Our next story so we can finally get through the story is some more sports news.

43:07Claudia Oshry:Travis Kelsey is calling the wedding night the best night of his life. So we haven't got photos or nuttin yet. But Travis Kelsey did a little press conference, which isn't like a big deal because that's what players do. And they're at like training camp. Yeah, you always like sit and like talk to the press. And he had a couple of like cute sound bites. He obviously called Taylor his wife at one point because she is. He said it was a fun offseason, man. Wedding was the best night of my life. And I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. Kelsey said it was a crazy night and that the evening was full of a lot of celebration.

43:39Claudia Oshry:before telling reporters he's now turning his focus to, quote, football baby. Well, you better because you didn't even make the playoffs last year. So cute. Like, that's your wife, allegedly, because we've never seen a picture. He also talked extensively about how, like, it was literally his dream. He can't believe he got married at Madison Square Garden. Like, the history of sports there, like, it just meant so much. Him, obviously, he said they were looking for somewhere really private. Like, he's so grateful to everybody who let him do it there. But, like, it was so special for him to be there because, like, his dream was to go to a Knicks playoff game.

44:05Taylor ended up going. but they did go to a Knicks playoff game. I think a lot of people thought that they were there like to support the Cleveland Cavaliers because they're from Cleveland but I'm kind of getting the sense now that like they were there for the Knicks. Perhaps. Because he said like I've always wanted to go to a Knicks playoff game.

44:19Claudia Oshry:I think they were probably there for the Clevelands because he is from there and Knicks fans couldn't sit courtside even though they weren't dressed as Knicks fans. No, they could have if they wanted to. Well, I guess they're not public Knicks fans. You know, like Timothy could never sit courtside even if he didn't wear Knicks. Taylor kind of is. Like she has historically been like. No, but I think they just assume because of Travis, like they're safe. Right, right. No, they got in like through a back door. Yeah. But no, that is, that is true and cool. Cause even though like he's obviously a football player, you know, a lot of men and young men and boys, like they love sports growing up.

44:52Claudia Oshry:Right. You know, so like Madison Square Garden is still super cool. It's the mecca of sports. Even if you're a football player. Right. And you think of all the things that have happened there besides football, like boxing, Muhammad Ali, like it's, it's kind of like us getting married at like. like wisteria lane exactly i would fucking love to get married like walking down the street oh my god how gorgeous it's like the most picturesque ridge like i by the way i didn't even realize my dream wedding venue was wisteria lane yeah i feel like you totally can when you renew your vows like right in front of gabby so lee's house is that where you would do it uh let me think no they actually have like this park in the center of like where edie's house is there's like a cul-de-sac with i think it would be there and there's like a pergola yeah yeah and then we'd like drape it in hydrangeas and like greenery it sounds really beautiful yeah it does time to find a boyfriend and everyone could like stay it would be destination oh my god it's like a b &b even though you know the inside of those houses are empty they're just like well i'm sure like on the lot there's a great idea unlimited budget so like just what about like just paramount studios and we take over the whole lot i actually think they have a lot of like big black tie events there not to like you know make everything about me but when i was like on my last day at mass singer on the fox lot i had to be there at night and they were like setting up there was a huge i think somebody was having like their 50th birthday party there like you can just rent it if you're like a rich person like and it's just like a big lot yeah i wasn't invited but that renewal for sure that renewal are you ready for our fourth story i am not because it is our fourth story that's brought to you by armra what happens when your health becomes the punchline from seed oils to stress, toxins to pollutants, the modern world is screwing with our health at the cellular level, leading to sluggishness, bloating, accelerated aging, and more.

51:29Claudia Oshry:Thank you, Slash Turt. You're welcome. Our fourth story, Meghan Markle suffers an awkward exchange with David Foster in a viral video. So Meghan Markle attended the 40th anniversary gala for the David Foster Foundation in Victoria. Which looked just magical. In Victoria, Canada on Friday. In footage circulating on social media, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex both greeted David on the red carpet. Meghan even reached out her arm to him, but David walked straight past her. and then before David and Catherine and Meghan and Harry like took a group photo we know that they're all good like they've actually been like long time friends when I feel like the first time we ever spotted them out when Meghan and Harry came to Calabasas or wherever they live Montecito and we were like who are they gonna be friends with like the Kardashians Ellen like the first time they were ever seen with anyone it was like David and Catherine Foster I do believe that there's like no bad blood the video is just like genuinely unfortunate and sad the thing is like she just seriously can't catch a break like it's so awkward And I don't think there's, I don't think there's like a great love and relationship between the two couples.

52:33No, but I think they're all copacetic.

52:34Claudia Oshry:I actually don't see them getting along. But I don't think David meant to snub her. I think he just has his head in the clouds. I mean, it's like a big event for him. There's like a lot going on. Yeah, I don't really think he was like looking, I guess. But like, how do you not know that that's Prince Harry? And then obviously Meghan with him. No, and like David Foster, you could say like he's senile or whatever. He's very with it. Because I saw on Aaron Foster's Instagram. He's not senile. No, he's not. He's just like an older gentleman. man but like he put on this huge like concerto he's like you can't be senile no but he might be like not attuned to his surroundings you know his face blindness like you know what people some people just have their head in the clouds like oh yeah i'm taking pictures on this carpet like i'm not paying attention i'm not like caught up on celebrities if they're not close personal friends and like he doesn't know megan mark we are giving a lot of grace but like but like only because we know them to be historically friends not even because of that but just because i think like a lot of times red carpet exchanges like are overblown here it's here you want to see it i just need to study it because I actually just think it could be a situation where he's just like walking around taking pictures he's not really like celeb focused right no it's like Catherine comes in between gives a hug okay so I feel that it could also be like they were coming in for a hug but I think like he interpreted it as just like saying hello and walking by do you know what I mean but then he's coming for the picture he came to take a picture with them she is maybe he like went to get no he's still there no maybe sorry I meant Catherine maybe he went to get Catherine like on the other side.

53:57Claudia Oshry:Watch this video. Oh, mine's more zoomed in. I haven't seen the reals version. Yeah, so they're like, hey, get in the middle and he walks right by. Catherine.

54:10You know, maybe people are just particular about their sides, you know? Like maybe David Foster is a lefty, you know? And they wanted him in the middle. He said, I want to be on the end, you know?

54:19Claudia Oshry:Maybe. I just think he didn't really realize like who he was like walking past. I think he was just like getting it done. I'm sure he doesn't like love red carpets and pictures. I'm not looking into this. I don't think that he dislikes her. I don't think they would like come, even though they go to the strangest things, but I don't think they would come all this way to Victoria. No. And I think that like the internet like dives so deep into a lot of her stuff and like it's worthy. This is not worthy. Like genuinely leave the woman alone. Because this is when she's like the internet hate, the bullying, like this is what she's talking about.

54:45But like no, with love, Megan, like we need to talk about.

54:47Claudia Oshry:Yeah. I don't think this is like bullying. No, but it's just like it sets a narrative that like Megan and Harry are not liked. But it's not just like, Like, these things don't just happen to her. Like, we were just talking about, like, Leighton Meester and Ariana Grande. Yes. It's just human. It's life as a human. Human. So, yeah. Life on Earth. You have to just, you can't have any faux pas on a red carpet. We're going to dissect it, and it's not specific to Meghan Markle. And it's not, like, your fault, you know? No, but it's not, like, she's the only one who gets picked apart for stuff like this.

55:14Claudia Oshry:But she gets it more. It's just stuff like this happens to her. She gets it a lot. Fuck you for that. But I think, also, it's, like, we expect other reception to Meghan Markle. And I think she expects that the reception is going to be like a princess. A red carpet and a marching band. But at this point, she's just like everyone else. She's just a celebrity. She's just like everyone else. But I think she like walks through the world like where are the rose petals being thrown in front of me? And then when it doesn't happen, she's standing there just holding the bag. And it creates an awkward moment.

55:45Claudia Oshry:Yeah, it does. Most people aren't like looking for like a grand reception. Yeah, right. But most people aren't the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Our fifth and final story. Whitney Liavit reveals she's returning to Broadway to star in Just In Time after breaking box office records in Chicago. So Whitney has her next Broadway show lined up. Does Just In Time ring a bell to you? That's what I was telling you about. Remember? Because I said your favorite movie is Beyond the Sea with Bobby Darin. Do you remember this conversation? Margot. Yes, Trace's favorite movie is Beyond the Sea. So that's the play about.

56:20Margot should go see it. me and Margot actually have chatted many times I wanted to go see and every time we talk about the toast the show reaches out they're like come come I just can't get my ass to Times Square but like I will go for Whitney Lovett maybe for Whitney Lovett so she's playing a role that's actually played by a lot of celebrities Sarah Hyland was in it I think she started with um oh Jonathan Groff he was Bobby Darin like everyone was obsessed and honestly the fact that I didn't see it with Jonathan Groff like I really don't want to see it with anyone else Matthew Morrison did a brief like two-week stint as Bobby Darin um and the girl from the pit she's so annoying what's her name she's the one who like never does her charts i don't remember any of their names she has played this role up until recently she did like a huge um stint on broadway so i guess whitney's replacing her oh okay it's unclear who the bobby is i i sort of

57:05Claudia Oshry:feel like who's the bobby no it's not jonathan groff he so many i think it's um jeremy jordan that was like the last person i saw doing it and i'm sorry like jeremy jordan i'm sorry all the clips I've seen like there is one Bobby Darin it's Jonathan Groff splish splash it's all about the bath I went up there's like also a viral TikTok dance like I know everything it's like you need I'm so glad you know everything because I know nothing um no this is a big deal for Whitney I would have been like she's in a random show how do you top Chicago she's on her way out the thing is it's a little random now when it first debuted with Jonathan Groff no but like when it first debuted it was like Hamilton with I'm sure but since then like you know it's just another show on Broadway but like she'll be great and she'll attract people it's a big one yeah you're gonna go I went and put my dancing shoes on yeah yeah yeah with Jeremy Jordan Jeremy Jordan yeah can you believe that um Mr.

57:56Shoe did it I can't believe Jesse St. James it's literally the Glee the Glee project well the Glee is the Broadway project yeah right like in another life had I been a little bit older like I would have went on the Glee project and that's good

58:09Claudia Oshry:that you didn't because I just don't think you'd be where you are today no and I don't think that like I should have been a part of the Glee cast like they're extremely problematic you're one woman well two woman show who's the second you oh right I think like my dual personalities like it's a two-woman show over here yeah so when he did this like big sit down what with people magazine yes and that's what had me thinking like it's never too late to start reinvent yourself and just because you've done something or made a mistake or whatever like you can come back from it bigger and better i totally agree and that's like a philosophy like i as a human being both you know professionally and personally really champion like start over do something new it's as if it never happened me too yeah i mean i don't even think about whitney dancing in the right and you have to stop saying it like that but when we by the way nico is an abbreviation so there's no proper pronunciation.

59:03Claudia Oshry:It's not an abbreviation. It's a... Acronym. It's an acronym. So there's no... There's no pronunciation. There's no Niko. Niko. Niko. When we used to recap Secret Lives, like the early seasons, we always had to keep it in mind. We always did. It was just top of mind. Agreed. It is out of my mind now. Agreed. And you know what's in my mind now? She has successfully eclipsed. What's in her mind now? Fuck you for that. I've been seeing a lot of clips of them promoting the song. So I've heard like the iTunes version. It's atrocious. Like it's actually worse than the live performance. And I've seen more angles, more like parts of the song.

59:38And I feel like I agree with you that like somebody from Salam House should get into music. Like we owe Demi and Bret an apology because True Colors, Demi's version, is 50 times better than like what Miranda's putting out. And I don't want to like, you know, make fun of the girl who's putting herself out there creatively. But I just don't think that this is right for her. It's really bad.

59:56Claudia Oshry:I am going to like still be patient with her because I don't think it's the worst idea. However, like the comments yesterday were cracking me up that we were being far too nice. Yeah. I think I just wanted it to be good. So like that's what I saw. But I also, the more I thought about it, it's actually insane that she's singing in an accent. When she doesn't have an accent. When she doesn't have an accent. And then when we were in the car on the way home, we were listening to like a lot of like Ella Langley. And like she's kind of ruining Ella Langley because it does start to feel like a costume.

1:00:26Yeah, it's true. And it's like, my culture is not a costume.

1:00:29Claudia Oshry:You can't sing in an accent that you don't have. Fuck you for that. And if it were like a different culture that she were appropriating, like people would be offended. Right. Like what if she was up there singing like an Indian accent? All sorts of accents that you shouldn't take on if you don't have them. And are we sure she doesn't have roots in the South? Even if she does, she doesn't have an accent. Right. And to that I say, fuck you for that. I cannot. For that. For that. I really can't stop. I think today's emoji should be the middle finger. And also, every time she makes a TikTok about it.

1:01:02Claudia Oshry:We need to stop doing emojis. The fact that yesterday wasn't the teddy bear. Like, there's something wrong with us. Why teddy bear? Oh, whatever. It's more of it. But I just want you guys to realize, like, that's how bad we can't even see our own show once it's in the rear view. I also just want to say every TikTok I've seen of her, like, promoting it. She keeps everything. She's, like, with both. Fuck you. It's so cringe. Like, I can't. Today's emoji is the middle finger. She's also going to need more songs. let's get some more songs going an EP let's get some more songs that is the show those are the past five and the middle finger emoji even though that's going to be like hurtful and probably people will get blocked right no let's say no one's going to get blocked they'll be like all the hidden words whatever like let's see yeah we're like renegades we host like an NSFW pod thank you guys so much for listening to the Justin Miner Morning Show we deliver the fast stories you need to every Monday the Friday on YouTube so watching us on YouTube please subscribe to subscribe to this video thumbs up we're also available as podcast where podcast we found so it's Spotify iTunes YouTube your public career I bet a beautiful starting a weekly town to be I hope you guys have an amazing day and we'll see you tomorrow love ya bye
