0:20I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday. That doesn't feel like a Friday because while it's the end of a chapter, it's the beginning of a something. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to The Toast. I'm your host, Turdy Lou, here for the final time in life as we currently know it. And I'm joined by a very pargy co-host this morning. As you guys know, Jax was unavailable and I said, don't worry, it's the perfect thing. It's a time for BSC on The Toast. Hello, BSC. How you doing? You never have to fear. I'm always waiting in the wings. Is it wings or wins? Wings? Wings. Waiting in the wings.

1:01We know you're always just like creepily standing in the corner waiting for your time. I'm always ready here. And I just want to say, because I don't think you get enough credit. I agree. I don't know what you're going to say. But I agree that I'm never given enough credit. That you went an entire pregnancy doing the toast. Every day. Nobody really understands. Like everybody thinks. It's not that hard. No, it is. Everybody thinks like, oh, I can do it. I can talk. It's really hard, especially with brains. Like pregnancy brain, I have just like regular brain problems. Okay? We're going to get into Ben making my pregnancy about him.

1:34But I really appreciate the compliment. Oh, okay. I take it back. I'm glad you brought it up because if you would have told me that I would have made it through a whole pregnancy with only taking one show off that day, I woke up really sick and you filled in for me. I wouldn't have believed you. So, yeah, I agree. I'm a hero. I'm an amazing business person and media mogul. and I agree with everything you said. Kudos to you. Thank you. Kudos to you. Now, how am I making pregnancy about myself? Oh my God. Like literally every time I have an ailment, you're like, oh my God, me too. By the way, I do.

2:02What should I lie? No, you're like, my back is killing me. It is killing me. Your back? No, no, yours is definitely. See, let's normalize two people having problems. Your back can hurt more than mine. But if you say, oh, my back hurts, that reminds me, oh, you know, I need to go see stretched. So how do you think it makes me feel? I need to go get stretched. How do you think it makes me feel to hear you complaining about your back problems? I think it's fine because I'm rubbing your back and I'm actively making you feel better. Are you rubbing my back? You don't need it. See? Every time I have like, I'm like, when Ben looks at me, he's like, oh, I'm having bad heartburn.

2:37I'm like, you're having heartburn? All I want to say, okay, all I want to say, this is your first like real stint with heartburn, right? Yeah. I've never had like chronic issues with heartburn and anyone who suffers outside of pregnancy with like every day you have my utmost sympathy except like you can do something about it like you can you can take real medication okay any of your uh morbidly obese listeners i one of them yes you are the vast majority of my life uh well maybe a little bit less morbid now but it's still morbidly obese i had heartburn for so long terrible terrible heartburn when you're really fat it's really bad really really bad and there are some people that aren't fat and still are predisposed to it.

3:20There was that big claim, that big company, the one you said you could just take medication. There was one of those companies who's giving people cancer. Nexapro, Nexapro, I haven't heard that. I haven't heard that. I'll send you the article. Well, shout out to Pepsid, which has single-handedly got me through this pregnancy. Yes, I feel for people who have, like all these new things that I didn't have. I know people have really bad heartburn outside of pregnancy. People have back problems outside of pregnancy. It's all hitting me in the last nine months. And so people who suffer from it all the time, like you have my utmost sympathy and respect.

3:47But that doesn't mean like what I'm going through isn't valid. Of course. No, it's relatable. Now, you've been very busy, Ben. We haven't actually had you on the toast in a while. You're being obviously an amazing husband, which is a full-time job these days. You're being a full-time Nick fan. Yes. Which is also a full-time job. Yes. You're obviously entrepreneur, podcast host, you know, celebrity chef. How is Ben? Ben is wonderful. Yeah? Ben is excited yeah Ben is going to be a father of a son BH BH BH BH BH BH BH BH and the podcast is wonderful speaking of BH like literally the fact that I have Christian morons walking up to me in the street saying BH Christian morons walking up to me and saying BH if somebody is new here and they don't understand like what you're talking about Ben and his co-host Josh have like a couple of maybe like a year ago decided that how we call you guys like the toasters if you listen to the toaster toaster if you listen to his podcast the good guys he gave themselves the title of moron you are so you guys people come up to us in the street they're like i'm a moron i'm like okay yeah and they literally like the morons the fans of the good guys podcast will walk up to me and say ben bh bh i'm from alabama bh i'm like that is unbelievable i'm gonna be a dad yeah h the knicks are in the knicks are six i know but i don't even i don't know how i feel so i wanted to update everybody from yesterday's show we did get tickets we did at this rate i just want to let you know i'm not going like i do not feel good but who's gonna buy that ticket i spent so much money on tickets and the fact that anybody ever clowned on like girls spending money on the eras tour when this is what a basketball game costs which is seriously like half the amount of time yeah half is interesting yeah is absurd to me because we spent more on nick's tickets than i did for like my best eras tour tickets so let me Let me explain.

5:42Taylor Swift does not come around. First of all, I've never ever clowned on you spending money on anything concert related. I didn't say you. I'm just saying society. Okay, sure. Whatever. Society's dumb and poor. So I think that Taylor Swift does not come around once every 30 years. I want to set the record here. This is the greatest Knicks team, the best chance that the Knicks have of winning a championship. In your lifetime. In my lifetime. Like, let that sink in. That's how a lot of people feel about Taylor Swift, though. But I've been to Taylor Swift 1989. I've been to Taylor Swift Red. I've been to Taylor Swift.

6:18You were not at Taylor Swift Red. Yeah, I was. With who? I don't know. I was at, maybe I went alone. I went to Taylor Swift. Yeah, is that the one with all the snakes? Yes. Yeah, that one was dark. Yeah, you went to Reputation 1989 and Eras. Yes. The Knicks, these kids. Honestly, I guess it's happened every couple of years. three years ago I went on the road in Cleveland do the toasters know that story? yes they do when I flew private with a bunch of Hasidic Jews home it was unbelievable I believe I told the story whenever I'm talking about Ben's like amazing ability to network and you're sort of like born under this like like these things happen to you that don't happen to other people Ben flew to Cleveland for like a Knicks game he didn't have a flight home he's like I'll figure it out I'll get a hotel room should I tell the story?

7:02sure please I mean I was in the middle of it but sure again you were speeding through it there's some drama to it okay okay fine oh my god This is going to be like a three-hour episode. No, I'll have to be quick. I go to Cleveland. Game six. Knicks-Cavs. I, again, feel the way that I feel right now, which is like, this is the best chance the Knicks have. I have to go. Right. Okay. So the feeling you were describing before, it's not once in a lifetime. I guess not. I guess not. I guess it's twice in a lifetime. My friend, Michael Cohen, calls me. Not Trump's lawyer. A different Michael Cohen. Calls me and says, Ben, I have an extra seat.

7:32Wow. See, another thing that doesn't happen to other people, like the biggest game of the year and someone just gets benefit. By the way, it does happen to other people if you're not a piece of shit. No, no. Like, if you put good energy out into the world, if you invite people to Knicks games, if you take people to dinner, then somebody will think of you. But if you're sitting there thinking, why doesn't anybody do anything for me when you don't do anything for them? Then that's not going to happen. The universe, it's called karma. Okay, get to the point of the story. He invites me. I go to Cleveland, okay?

7:59I have a hotel. I'm ready to sleep in the hotel. But I don't book a flight. I said to Claude, you know, there are going to be enough Nick fans at this game that I'm going to find someone needs to fly private home okay Ben just like sort of put it out there I was like okay good luck sure Jan I was like somebody needs to be there and I thought I thought it was I used to work for Gary Vaynerchuk I thought it was Gary I see Gary on the court I go up to him after the game I'm like Gary what's going on he's like Ben good to see you I'm like how are you getting home he's like oh I I have my plane but we're full i'm like oh okay and i was like okay this is not gonna happen you almost got it i'm exiting the stadium i'm walking out all of a sudden i get tapped on the shoulder by two hasidic jews black hat pay us the whole the whole nine work up and they're like you know uh we're really big fans our wives our wives are really big fans of claudia can we please get a picture i'm like oh my god yes never in my life did i see what was about to happen they're like how are you getting home like you're kidding me they're like we have a jet outside if you want to come i'm like this is i mean if that's not hashem yeah sending you a signal right so i met literally a life a lifelong friend of course nashi newman he's the best his wife is the best big toaster so hopefully they hear this went home with them flew into teterboro was home by one michael Cohen's like how the hell did you swing that I'm like I don't know wait you didn't take Michael Cohen with you no I did no he's like how did you swing this you got a seat for Michael Cohen yeah he came home I was by the way and this is karma too I would never ever ever fly private home and leave the person who gave me a free ticket right right I would I would have walked home with yeah yeah I got him a seat so that was Nick Cavs last year you agreed to go with me to Philly I did I drove to Philly I'm such an amazing wife like how sick was that game though um I don't remember the game being like sick i just remember like i was really skinny and um we had really good seats we had really good seats the knicks won whenever we go me and you the knicks win hopefully i didn't jinx this for tonight tonight we spent don't say please i'm more money i'm embarrassed than on those two combined yeah no it's insane what like grown men will spend on a 90 minute game so this is game six of seven it's a big game it's a big game move yeah big game if they lose this game i'm just letting you know they're gonna lose the series yeah obviously and as much as i love dave portnoy if i see one more dave portnoy rant talking about how the nicks are great yeah i'm gonna kill myself no we are going as of this moment i obviously just like need to take a nap and like relax a little bit first um and you know what ben what will be will be you know what the lord wants for the nicks the lord will make happen what will be will be but the brunson boys how do the brunson boys feel?

10:47I've been meaning to ask you that. The Brunson boys are feeling... We blew up their spot. Everybody's talking about them on social media. I thought you meant about the game. The Brunson boys about the game are cautiously optimistic. About the publicity. Yeah, about us blowing up their spot. I think the Brunson boys are feeling good. Are they super private? Are they like... No, there's really no issues. There's no issues. Gabe will send me a clip. I think you called us gay or something. I didn't. I would never. I would never. I'm just kidding. I didn't say that. But Gabe sent me a clip and he's just like, yeah.

11:23He's excited about his newfound stardom? He loves it. He's like, they're talking about us. Jack's like, they're talking about us. Victor's like, they're talking about us. That's the group. They're my friends from high school, my closest friends. And that's the Brunson boys. And the second that Jalen Brunson rose the ranks, people don't understand. We are watching, if he can win some championships, we're watching like a young Kobe. This guy is so freaking clutch. It's kind of crazy, though, because he's like a short king. Yeah. He's not that short. He's 6 '2". Okay, but like compared to the other players, he looks like...

11:53He's Jewish. His wife, Allie, is Jewish. I was talking about this on the toast. And then the baby, right? Yeah, yeah. I sat next to Allie at that Cleveland game, too. It sounds like that night was sort of like a magical night for you. It really was. You should have been there. No, I really shouldn't have. That said we wouldn't have flown private home. No, I was going to say, had I known you were flying home private, like maybe I would have come. Yeah. Ben is going to join me today for our final episode of The Toast. Today is my last day before my maternity leave begins. As you guys know, next week we are totally dark, except there will be new episodes dropping on Patreon daily.

Today's episode is brought to you by Skims, which is part of you because I am wearing Skims maternity pants. So Skims, you know, they're known for their bras and underwear.

13:37They are really the best intimates we've ever owned. My top drawer has slowly become all Skims over the last couple of years, but specifically these last couple of months because every bra and underwear that I buy I immediately grow out of so I'm really particular about my intimates these days obviously my breasts are getting larger my needs for underwear are just getting different and intimates are really the unsung hero of every single outfit nobody does it like skims obsessed is an understatement and then every time I like need a new category of stuff and I find out that skims carries it I'll automatically like I just trust them so much so when I need a maternity clothes like these really cute yoga pants um I just went to skims and automatically bought a bunch of stuff like they have my eternal trust now.

14:09I think why everybody loves Skims is like how versatile they are, especially in terms of sizing. So if you're looking for a bra, I think they offer like 62 sizes, which is insane. Most stores like literally offer four. Um, and everybody knows like finding the right bra is all about finding the right size. So Skims is going to help you do that. They're going to really, um, make you feel comfortable. I love the fits everybody collection. Ben calls them my relaxation bras. They're super stretchy, super comfortable, super supportive. I can't just like go without a bra these days. So I need something to wear like inside.

Okay. Wonderful. Breathe. I'll talk for a little. Okay. That was excellent. Those are excellent sponsors. We've been talking on the toast recently about how, like, obviously I can't breathe when I do the ads. And everybody's like, Jackie, you should do them. I would have done them. The thing is, is I'm too much of a control freak. And Jackie likes to go over the 90 second. Oh. Right. Thank you. Then you do the ads on Good Guys, right?

18:18Yeah. And you know the importance of keeping the time. The thing is, what you do is much harder. It's hard to keep the time when you're live. Of course. I do them pre-recorded. So honestly, if I go to two minutes and 30 seconds, I say chop it down to a minute. Chop it down. A minute 30. But all that I'll say quickly. Square. Wonderful. Proudly used by Bruce Soffer at his cafe. I love that. He loves it. I, um. Easy peasy. I also, today, I'm choosing the stories and reading the stories. So breath work is going to be super important. Yes, I'll just talk. And also, I wanted to let you guys know, I currently have four stories.

18:52Okay. I have a fifth story. You do? It's selfish, but. Oh, what? Super Society Available Nationwide at Target? Yeah! It is. and it's Friday, baby. Go out there and shop locally wherever your target sells wine. People love... Okay, so is that the first story? Ben, Ben, it's not in New Jersey. Yeah, because your target doesn't sell wine. I can't change jurisdiction. It's wherever it sells wine. Go on SpritzSociety.com. Go to the store located. You can't change jurisdiction, you guys. I can't unless you guys... By the way, we could lobby. Would you say that's one of the most common misconceptions about you?

19:23That I can't change jurisdiction? People think you can change jurisdiction, but you can't. They do. It's like I can get private planes with Hasid. It's true. But I can't get changed jurisdiction. Not yet. Not yet. If I wanted to manifest it, I'm not wasting my manifestation powers on changing the liquor jurisdiction in New Jersey. What are you, nuts? Ben, what do you want most in this world? Oh my, I want a healthy son. Okay, that's a good answer. And a loving family forever. Forever. And just like more of the same. I'm telling you, like, I really don't want for anything. I know, I feel the same way.

19:54And the more that I don't want for anything, BH, more things come. so it's like a round it's almost like a cheat code it's almost like a cheat code if you pretend you don't want it exactly it comes okay let's dive into our first story which is about my girl Taylor Swift I don't know if you've heard but human remains have been found near her oh I heard famous Rhode Island mansion and it's amid growing fears that there's a New England serial killer oh I like that take by the way so human remains were discovered down the road from her Rhode Island mansion amid fears that a New England serial killer I guess like people have been conspiracy theorizing that there's a new serial killer on the loose in that region.

20:29Sure. And on Wednesday morning, police in Westerly, Watch Hill, which is like somewhere we need to go, found reports of possible remains in the men. When officers arrived to the location, it's 0.3 miles from Swift's home. They located what appeared to be a human leg bone. I just want to say, like, this has nothing to do with Taylor Swift. Nothing to do with Taylor Swift. The article and the headlines are extremely misleading. People are like, this is so scary for Taylor. It's seven minutes from her house. They did a map on page six, which I appreciate. You know how many bodies they probably find seven minutes from our house because of Tony Soprano?

20:57Oh, we started watching The Sopranos and I don't know if I told you guys that. I think I did. I'm just saying their bodies buried everywhere. That's how I felt watching Yellowstone. Yeah. Like how many people they killed. Their bodies all over the city. The city it's hard to hide bodies in the city. Their bodies all in the Hudson. How many bodies do you think are in the Hudson? They claim oh it's cloudy. Yeah probably because the mobsters made it cloudy so you can't find Orpuko's wife sitting at the bottom of the ocean. I don't think there's a lot of bodies in the Hudson. Like if I was a person trying to get rid of a body like I would stay away from New York City.

21:28Yeah, but then you learn they take these weights and they chain them to their ankles and they drop them to the bottom. Yeah, but they don't do that in the Hudson, Ben. They do it in like random rivers and shit. I think they're in the Hudson. The Hudson is like highly trafficked and policed. That's what they want you to think. I've never seen police in the Hudson. Can I just tell you guys ever since we started watching The Sopranos, which Ben insists on calling The Sopranos, Ben's been like acting different. I could tell like his little man. I think you're going to start wearing tank tops. No, no.

21:53Okay, no. I like that you called them tank tops. Insane. Okay. It's insane that we still call them that. It's also insane to wear them. Sorry. Agreed. But I think like you're slow. And we've only watched like a season and a half. I know. You are slowly morphing into, you're just like picking up on random like mannerisms and stuff. I'm going to come home one day and you're going to be wearing a tank top. Little things. Little things. Little things. Being picked up. I love that show so much. Claudia doesn't love it yet. She likes it. I like it. I'm not like obsessed. I just love that there is, there are like weirdly Jewish undertones while they're also being anti-Semitic.

22:27And. I actually don't think that the characters are anti-Semitic. Okay. They, they. They have that one motel client. Not anti-Semitic. But like they obviously, like they don't like Jews. No, that, that guy on the horse farm is like their best friend and he's a Jew. Yeah, Hesh is a good boy. Hesh. Whatever. They use derogatory terms. That was more what I was saying. Do they? They do. Okay. They do. But against everybody. Like that's just like the culture. but then randomly like you see Tony Soprano say the word schnurra and you're like what in the world who wrote this I like how you just hit a little whistle I don't know what that was your teeth whistled I was going to avoid it how did you do that I have no idea I could never do it again that was such a high pitch schnurra I don't know I don't know where it came from but yeah hash okay back to Taylor Swift do you think that Taylor Swift is the New England serial killer yes no one would suspect her no one would suspect her she could be like big crime boss Tony she isn't the actual killer but like she has people under her that are doing her dirty work And I think, I think, okay, that the person at the bottom of that river was the one who subpoenaed her.

23:23Oh. It was the one who knocked on her door and gave her the filing. Yes. That's a good theory. It is. You think it's connected to the Blake Lively drama. It is. Well, people are, like, doing everything they can to blame everything that's wrong in this world on Blake Lively. So maybe Blake Lively's a serial killer. Maybe it's Blake. Love that. Wow. People are upset, like, or, like, fanatical about serial killers. This is, like, exciting for them. It doesn't do it for me. By the way, there's nothing cool about serial killers. I couldn't agree more. Like, can you back the fuck off and stop killing people?

23:50Right. Like, it's not cool. It's not cool at all. Like, that was my friend. No. You know? And she's dead. Yeah. For nothing. We don't know if this was a man or a woman. I just want to say, like, they're using Taylor Swift to get people to care about this story. But in actuality, it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift. No. They'll do anything to put her name in the headline. This is the problem with the news. Okay? Okay, rant. Was this like a click-out article? No, it was like a regular Page Six article. Okay. And I saw it everywhere. Also, shout out Page Six. Okay. Good peeps. I think so. But I'm just saying, the problem is that you'll see this E!

24:20News, Justin Baldoni, blah, blah, blah. Click here to learn more. You click, they get paid, and it's a whole bunch of nothing. It's a whole bunch of nothing. Ben, that's the problem with media and bureaucracy. This is what I'm saying. The pay-per-click is destroying media. The pay-per-click? Pay-per-click. Oh, the pay-per-click. Pay-per-click. Also, we have to watch our final two episodes. Can we talk really quickly about Paul American? and about how my healer, Yiska, was on the most recent episode. Paul American is a fantastic show, and if you're not watching it, even if you're a hater, you'll still like it.

24:54Yes. And you'll be turned. You're probably hating Jake Paul because of what you see, and then you watch it and you realize... He's not what you think he is. He's a healed man. Yes, he's very deep and emotional and healed. I think that's the perfect word. It's also very... There's a little bit of some Gen Z undertones with this mental health. Yes. Like he really, he's come a long way. Thousand percent. And then you have just like great family drama. It's, they're the perfect family for reality TV because you can just tell they're leaving nothing on the table. Nothing. Okay, but what did you think of seeing Yiska?

Read the full transcript

25:28Did you see the clip of her? I didn't see the clip of her. Because we haven't seen that episode yet. No, but I showed you the clip that Beatrice sent, you know? You did, you did, yeah. And what did you make of it? No. Because you loved, when my healer came over, obviously you tried to poach my healer. First of all, she's so nice. She would be a great healer for me, okay? Second of all, she loved, she just kept complimenting my chopping skills. She's like, oh, you're such a good cook. Ben was cooking me dinner while she was working on me. And she was impressed. And she had to keep leaving the room so I could like change or whatever.

25:53And so, yeah. This kid just also had great energy. I completely agree. The second I opened the door. Just a lovely woman. I knew like we were going to love her. And then when I was like, she left the bedroom to let me change. And I heard you guys chatting. I'm like, oh, he's trying to poach my healer. No, I need her. Because she also does massage, right? Well, but it's all prenatal. She does like prenatal massage, prenatal acupuncture. We'll work through it. She's a doula. We'll work through it. Are you jealous of like the healing journey that I've gone on in this last couple of months? No. No, I'm just happy that you have taken to the East.

26:24Right. I'm happy that you have come to my side of things. As you guys know. The side of the Eastern medicine. Ben is very much East, West, Central. No, I'm East. Okay. You're fake East. I'm East these days. Why am I fake East? You know what? Actually, I have noticed. I meant to bring this up to you. Tell me. Like so many people when they get pregnant, they have to quit things that they love, whether it's like alcohol or like turkey. For me, there really hasn't been because a lot of like I don't miss alcohol. And although it did dawn on me yesterday, like I'm getting really close to being able to have a cocktail.

26:53Like I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself. But a lot of people struggle with like no sushi, no deli meat and none of that stuff like I would eat normally. So I haven't had that.

27:05Where was I going with this story? I'm not sure. Wait, what were we talking about before? We were talking about my Eastern medicine journey. Oh, but something I actually really have struggled with is the inability to take Advil because I lived a life before this, like run on Advil. I was fueled by Advil. And I've noticed you've taken a lot less Advil too. A part of your like, you're being obsessed with me and copying everything I do in pregnancy. I don't take any Advil. Let me tell you. Again, we were talking about heartburn. When you're fat, you need Advil. Like it's really, really hard. Like your head hurts more because you're eating shit and you're so swollen.

27:37Let me tell you the things, okay? that have made me less swollen. Okay? I can't wait to hear this. I love turmeric, but if you take too much of it, it makes you itchy. Yeah, Jackie. So you just have to be careful. I've overdosed on turmeric, and you just, all that you got to do, don't take turmeric for a couple of days, and then you jump back in. Before you give any medical advice, it's just important that everybody knows, Ben has no idea what he's talking about. I do. All of his research is from TikTok. I do. The next one, this one, everybody should be taking oil of oregano. Every day? I thought only when you're sick.

28:05Every single day to make sure that your sinuses stay clear. I've gotten significantly less sinus infections since I started my healthy regimen. Also, every day I start with AG1. It's true, Ben. I drink it every single morning and I love, love, love it. It's great. And you stop taking creatine because you realize it's meant to be taken in tandem with going to the gym. I was going to say, the problem is that I am not going to the gym. Right. Once I go to the gym, creatine is great. But right now, yeah, I'm off it. I mean we got really far from Taylor Swift's human remains. Wait but what else am I taking in the morning?

28:37Turmeric. Dose. No that's just turmeric. I took a dose. I'm itchy. I'm like why am I itchy? It's because I had a thousand milligrams of turmeric because I had my 500 milligrams and then dose. My oil of oregano. What other fun thing am I. Oh oh oh oh oh oh. Lion's mane. Lion's mane. Take it every day. It repairs the brain cells. I'm so much more alert. Have you noticed? I'm more alert. I notice you're more annoying. My brain mouth brain mouth is firing because of the lion's mane. That's really great. And lastly, shout out Gaia Herbs. Okay, we really need to move on. Obsessed. Because I can't tell you how uninteresting it is.

29:07But if you do want to hear me complaining about Ben's supplement intake, you can listen to my episode of your podcast, which we just recorded with Josh and his wife, who's also pregnant, Paige. Yes. And we talk extensively. And I just feel like this is not the platform for you to be, like, shilling your herbs. Yeah, understood. And way to make my Yiska story about yourself. That said, you can go to bensophersherbs.com. Is that a dream of yours? To own an herb manufacturing company and sell them? For sure. It's like a really easy way to get sued. I'm going to be hawking herbs. You'll be ending up on an episode of American Free.

29:37I'm going to be like one of those, you know that 95-year-old woman that like sits at her board and like writes like about all the herbs? Yeah. Do you know her? No, I don't. It's me. Have you been following the Diddy trial? It's ongoing. I have. And I saw yesterday somebody said that his penis was a says - Oh, I saw that too. That's a terrible headline. That's not, by the way, it's not even the worst headline to come out of it. Cassie, do you know who that is? Like his long-term partner? Yes. She testified, which she had sued him long after she left him and got$30 million, but of course had to sign like an NDA in a civil suit.

30:07But because this is a federal trial, this is like my favorite fun fact about the trial. The feds don't give a fuck if you signed an NDA, like if you're subpoenaed to testify. So she got her 30 mil and she got to speak her truth. Wow. And she's eight months pregnant. Good for her. But Ben, like the things that she was detailing that she went through, like he was him forcing male prostitutes to pee in her mouth. Oh, I did see that. Really fucking disgusting. but there's been a lot of chatter about the um diddy trial as it pertains to justin bieber a lot of people we talked about this yesterday briefly on the toast it's all alleged but a lot of people just assume that like you know he's having this sort of like public breakdown right now and it started around the same time as the diddy trial and given justin's age at the time and they're just there is like theories that justin is some sort of victim in all of this diddy dittiness but justin bieber has broken a silence on sean combs as the rat mogul faces sex trafficking trial.

30:55Justin Bieber is not a victim of his former friend, Sean Diddy Combs. So although Justin is not among Sean's victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him, the Peaches Crooner representative told Page Six. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice that these victims rightfully deserve. So basically just saying, Diddy did that, but not to me. I don't, do you want to talk about Diddy or do you want to talk about Justin? Listen, I'm, what am I, a Nazi? Talk about what you want. No, you literally, you told me before that I was going off on a rant. so I want to really stay close you were talking about Taylor Swift I just want to stay close I want you to talk about your feelings okay well I think that every single time I see a Justin Bieber headline that like something's wrong I don't think anything's wrong Jackie and I talk about that extensively is something wrong with Justin Bieber or not I think that the media loves talking about Justin Bieber because he's incredibly famous incredibly cool I think that he's living his life and I think that he fucking hates the media he's so public about how much he hates the paparazzi and all that he loves I think he loves seeing headlines that people think that there's something wrong with him because it lets him know that he has power you know what I mean but have you seen some of the recent footage like what they're reporting on like him at Coachella like obviously with some like drug paraphernalia great he can't go to Coachella and be on drugs like everybody else in the world he has a baby but yeah I know but he's also 30 like he's not like or even younger I don't know how old he is I think the craziest part He's like a kid at Coachella.

32:23Of this particular story is that, not that Justin is denying being a victim, but he's basically saying there were people who were genuinely harmed by him. Even though that's his former friend, he's not Team Diddy. Who could be Team Diddy? Well, his kids are. They're at the courthouse every day, which is really crazy. Maybe they're getting a lot of money. Not shockingly, the artist formerly known as Kanye West is a big Diddy supporter. That makes sense. Yes. But I feel like it's the first time a celebrity has publicly been tied to Diddy and then also spoken out against him. Because there's a million pictures of like celebrities.

32:57A lot of like innocent celebrities attended Diddy's parties not knowing that like downstairs were these freak offs where people were being like trafficked and abused. Upstairs it was just like a cool celebrity party. Yeah, yeah. So a lot of people get like tied. They post pictures of like, you know, Diddy and Ashton Kutcher. They're like, look, he knew. And I think most of the time it's just like celebrities, you know, as a celebrity yourself, like you take a picture with someone. I mean, I can't wait until they see the pictures of me and Diddy. No, there are none. Not funny. Not funny. Did you see Will Smith?

33:26He said something. What did he say? He's just like, I have nothing to do with any of this. It's the same thing because Will Smith probably went to a lot of parties. Yeah, the thing is if I'm a celebrity, like I don't want to even be remotely. And the fact there are a lot of celebrities who are being publicly tied to Diddy and are not saying something, that definitely gives me pause. Because if my ass had a picture and I would be, I would hop on my podcast and be like, oh my God, I did not know this man. I went to a lunch and somebody asked me to take a photo. Like, the fact that there aren't more people doing what Will Smith did, like, immediately coming to me like, no, not my friend.

33:57I know. It's a little suspicious. It is. You know? I think they also just, like, don't want to awake a lying beast. Right. Then, like, the internet comes after you and, like, finds everything you've ever done. Sorry that I'm rubbing my eye. It's an eye problem. And you feel the need to complain about it on the toast? I'm just, like, sharing because I've touched my eye a couple of times. I'm going to wake up with pink eye. Oh, my God. I'm fine. I farted on your pillow. You did? Yeah. Again? Yeah. Okay. It was Romeo, actually. Okay. No, I'm fine. Like, if my eyes look red, I'm fine. It's just Ben being, like, sympathy pregnant.

34:25Yeah. My eyes hurt, too. Do they? No. Okay. So I just say it. Next story, a little bit of gender identity news, which I know is some of your favorite news. Lorde is clearing up her gender identity. Okay, thank God. You know who Lorde is? I do. I didn't know that she was having a gender identity crisis. Well, you know, she recently popped back onto the scene to promote her music, and she did this like thing in Washington Square Park. And I was like, oh, she looks androgynous. And I was like, okay, just noted. And then she went to the Met Gala and she wore like a blazer or whatever. And somebody asked her, she's like, I feel like this is like really representative of my new gender identity when like I feel like a man, but also a woman.

35:03And everyone was like, excuse me, can you clarify? And she is clarifying sort of saying I'm a woman, except for the days when I'm a man. By the way, I feel that. So she did an in-depth Rolling Stone interview where I've seen like a couple of the things, like pull quotes. She seems fucking insufferable, I have to say. But this one obviously caught my eye because it's a very interesting way to say like gender identity. So she said, some days I'm a woman, some days I'm a man. That's a lyric on an upcoming song of hers. And of course the interviewer had questions about it. So the interviewer was Chapel Rhone.

35:38Sorry, that's an important thing. So Chapel Rhone. I asked her how - We drink upon a club. I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood. Okay, well, I actually chose this story because I wanted to ask you a question like, you know, you're a man, but are there days when you feel like a woman? You've been Janiah Doubtfire, dear. And I was going to say, I actually feel like you feel most like a woman when Chapel Road comes on. I love her. Yeah, Ben loves her. Oh, look what you've done. You're a pink boner girl. That's enough. That's my job. By the way, how good was, my voice is getting just better and better.

36:11I'm a woman, but there are days where I feel like a man. Yeah. And I would say some of those days include when there's any sort of job or project that needs to get done in the house that requires like nails and a hammer. Okay. The job that I did moving the bar is, you can no longer say that you're the only person who fixes things. I risked my life. I have to give you credit. For that final project. In the last couple of months, obviously, like I made, I talked about this on my Instagram. I made this huge list of home projects I wanted to accomplish before the baby got here, just like reorganizing, making space.

36:40We obviously had to move a ton of furniture around. And one of the last remaining things was we needed to swap out this desk and move our bar somewhere. We just didn't know where the bar was going to go. So we spent the last couple of weeks just like coming up with a place for the bar. We couldn't find a place for it. So we decided to leave it on, we have two balconies and we don't use one of them. So we're like, okay, the balcony should become a storage space. So Ben decided to do this completely on his own while I was at work, like not ask anyone in the building for help. Picked up our 10 ,000 pound bar, brought it outside, went to Home Depot, wrapped it up in a tarp.

37:11It looks like there's a dead body on our balcony. I did it perfectly. I went in depth on this story, so I won't do that on a recent episode of Good Guys. Oh, okay, okay. But all that you need to know is that I almost actually died, okay? I moved a 10 ,000 pound bar. Of course, I removed everything. You move out the liquor. Yeah, we took everything out of the bar. I'm not an idiot. We took everything out. Took everything out, moved it, but there's a big step, and I had to jimmy it over, and all the weight is on me, and my back's pressed against the balcony. I almost fully died with this final project.

37:48Shout out Home Depot. Found a weatherproof. Everybody wanted to know. Was it weatherproof, Ben? Yes, it's a weatherproof tarp. Had snow on it. Had heat on it. I put it on the bottom. Put it on the top. Taped it up. Shout out Gorilla Tape. This is fantastic tape. Fantastic. Taped the tarp. And yes, it does look like a dead body. But it's out there. It's no longer our problem. I have to tell you, this was like the biggest project on my list. that weighed so heavily because I'm like I can't move this furniture that's been the hardest part of pregnancy like how many times have you come home and I'm moving furniture you know I don't mind like being you know sweat equity but the fact that like I have all these projects I can't physically do has been pissing me off and I have to wait for this slow ass like so you know what and I was so grateful when you did it the sweeper has been sweeping you've become the sweeper's final boss of sweeping do you think so yes I'm worse than I was before yes significantly I don't people wouldn't consider moving a bar an essential uh project pre-baby when it's not in their room and has nothing to do with them we're just not gonna have time we're not gonna have time we didn't need to have time we're not gonna have time we didn't need to do it we're not gonna have time how much better does it look much you're welcome would it have been worth it if you found me on the ground i'm just saying i 20 stories down um no it wouldn't have been better i would have been very sad okay yeah yeah yeah i'm cracking up back to lord okay so someday she's a woman someday she's a man i'm all i have to say is like when i'm cooking i feel like a woman you do yeah i'm very aina like i'm thinking about aina you're manifesting aina your domestic side and you are Jeffrey.

39:29Yes. No, there are definitely times where I feel like a man. Yeah. You're Jeffrey. I don't think that's necessarily what Lorde was saying. I don't know what the fuck Lorde was saying. Me neither. And I don't recommend reading this interview. It seems like just two insufferable bitches chatting it up like Lorde and Chapel. Cause I know you love Chap and her music is amazing, but like on a personal level, she's dreadful. No, I love Chapel Rhone's music. You just like that one song. What's another song? I don't care. So all's that to say, lord is a woman except on the days where she's a man okay and it's as simple and as complicated as that i'm gonna up to her up to her that's beautiful i wish her well i'm gonna let everyone know that today's episode is very appropriately brought to you by huggies so huggies is a fabulous brand and their little snugglers are so popular it's the only leading brand with all around blow out protection for sizes one and two do you know what a blowout is no you don't is that when uh Okay, I have two ideas of what a blowout could be.

40:24One is when there's an enormous, enormous shit. Yeah. And two is when, oh yeah, no, that's exactly what it is. It must just like have a large coverage zone. Yeah, and like a blowout like goes outside of the confines of the diaper. It goes up your back, down the leg. It's a real, as Jackie says, it's like the most annoying thing that can happen. You have to change clothes, you have to give them a bath. And Huggies is the only leading brand with all-around blowout protection for sizes one and two. So parents out there know there's really nothing worse than a blowout. I can't personally say I've had an experience with one.

40:55I know that they're quite common, and I think what diaper you use makes a huge difference in your quality of life those first few months. We had experiences with blowouts. When we did Notavirus. Oh, yes. Seriously. Well, you shouldn't have to live your life worrying about how you'll deal with the next inevitable blowout. Ease your blowout anxiety by switching to Huggies Little Snugglers. Huggies Little Snugglers are up to 100 % leak-proof with blowout protection in the front and back on sizes one and two, so you can feel confident relying on them for your little ones.

Okay, ready for our fourth story that I feel might be our fifth because I couldn't find one, but I'll look again.

44:35No, it's our fifth. Our first is that Spirit Society is now available nationwide at Target. Oh, right. How could I forget? How interesting. Okay, this one is like a little internet news. Tommy Lee, who I'm sure everyone knows from Pam and Tommy, drummer for, what was the band? Motley Crue? Motley Crue. Yeah. Crue. One of the most interesting facts about him is that like a couple of years ago he got married to Brittany Furlan, who was like a OG Vine creator. And they've like low-key been just like doing their thing, like living their life, being married. they're getting divorced love is dead sorry it happens you've been married for six years they've reportedly called to quits after six years they've been living separately for two weeks that's short it's also short for people to have news on it no but it's like short to like i feel like a marriage you get separated like it takes a long time for a marriage to officially just because you were living apart for two weeks doesn't mean that like maybe they weren't sleeping in separate beds for six months you never know yeah they say that his drinking is at the center of the split and that he's unwilling to get sober i guess that would be a reason like oh well you can't wait around i'm sorry despite them no longer staying under the same roof together the pair remains in contact this the source shared it's unclear whether either party plans to file at this time but they're just like separated and i think people were on to this if you've been following this couple he's 62 she's 38 um he unfollowed britney on instagram which is like such a crazy thing to do to your wife no also like in your 60s right that's the first thing you do well no like he's digital now because of her that's really digital it I completely agree like like that's I don't even do that I don't even know who I follow I have to do that you do have to unfollow some people you follow like you follow so many people I'm always going through my because sometimes I'll scroll through my Instagram like who are these fucking losers like I find so I find my own feed so uninteresting yeah no I don't use my feed you don't no has your Instagram updated to the new layout?

46:29It has. Yeah, it's not good. Oh my God. With the swiping through. With the swiping. It's no good. How many times do you actually end up on Reels? A lot. And it's probably because I send you the freakiest content. You do. But I get served like actual circus freaks on Reels. You do. When I go scrolling through TikTok, I see all different types of content. Beauty, lifestyle, health, wellness, comedy. Reels, it's just circus freaks. By the way, that is like derogatory towards the circus. I completely agree. The things you send me, she will send me. Yeah. Like honestly, the fattest people on earth.

46:59And they're like picking their belly buttons and lifting up their stomachs and showing you their penises. Like it's literally, you guys don't understand what, and Reels is not regulated. Like there's so much pornography. You exclusively have 1200 pound nudity. Let me tell you why. I'll tell you why. I get freaky things because Brian Kelly sends me the freakiest Reels. Got it. So I always open them and then he infiltrated my algorithm. He's like always messing with me. Got it. So you, yeah. So he did to me what I'm doing to you. Got it. That's why your algorithm is broken. And mine is not fully broken.

47:30I follow a lot of food creators. My favorite content to consume by far, recipe videos. Who's your like inspiration online? My inspiration online. Who do you think is doing the best work online right now? Oh, God. That's so tough. I always think that Wishbone Kitchen like has like unbelievable videos. You're in love with Wishbone Kitchen. I also love my friend Salt Hank. He makes great, great videos like food, porn. Like I love that stuff. But Kevin, Kevin from TikTok. Kevin? Yes, my friend, Kevin. He just found out that his stage four cancer is no longer. Oh, the sorority guy. The sorority guy.

48:05He cooks like mass amounts of food because he cooks for a sorority house. He like lives in a sorority house. Just look up Kevin cooking. I don't even know his last name. He's probably like 50s, maybe a 50 year old guy. And he basically makes like all the meals for all the girls who live in a sorority house. It's like 75 girls. His food looks so good. Yeah. Penn loves him. And there's a girl in his sorority. Her name is Larissa. And she has an account called Larissa's Reviews. So he puts out food and then she reviews it. It's genius. It is. Synergy. Synergy. And then he went through a personal, like, sort of challenge where he was diagnosed with cancer.

48:35He was having cancer. And so he'd give these, like, periodic updates. And he seems to be cancer-free right now. Thank God. That's so great. We're rooting for Kevin. That's so great. We're rooting for Kevin. But yeah, he's great. Love him. Somebody should sponsor him. I haven't seen one sponsored video for Kevin. Somebody should reach out to Kevin. I think you should reach out and be his representation. I need to reach out to Kevin. You do. I think that he just does it for the love of the game. I think so too. Loves it. Let's dive into our final segment of the week before we head out on maternity leave, which is Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is something we do every week on Friday to sort of wrap up, you know, take a look at the week at a glance.

49:09Certainly. We give out two awards, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. And it's exactly as it sounds. Who was a Queenie this week and who was a Weenie this week? Understood. It can be a person. It can be a place or a thing. Sure. Now, Jackie always likes to start with Queenie, you know, be positive, but I'm negative like that. So let's start with weenie. Who's your weenie of the week? My weenie of the week is Starbucks. Wow. Okay. Let me explain. You've been seeing me sipping my Dunkin' Ice tea. Ice tea. Ice coffee. A Dunkin' Ice coffee. Let me explain. I've loved Starbucks for a very, very, very long time.

49:42Ben has woken up every day for the last two years, walked to Starbucks. He literally comes into the room and says, you want anything from the bucks? I don't. He is so loyal to this one barista specifically. His name is Rodney. He's my guy. I highly recommend you tip your baristas or baristos because they work really hard. Agreed. And the second that you tip them, you're going to get your coffee faster also. Like it's like the world works like in miraculous ways with karma. I love Starbucks because their mobile ordering is supreme. If I go to an airport, I'll still only get Starbucks because I can literally order it in my Uber to the airport.

50:17And when I get there, whatever. that said they've been brainwashing us folks i had to switch to putting chai shots in my iced coffee and pretending that i like it because they just said oh we don't have sugar-free hazelnut one day and it never came back they only have sugar-free vanilla and they made me think because starbucks is so big i'm like oh if starbucks doesn't have sugar-free hazelnut there must be a worldwide shortage uh no i went to dunkin donuts ordered an iced coffee sugar-free hazelnut It's delicious. They have sugar-free hazelnut. Let me also tell you. Do you think there's a part of the story that you're missing?

50:52What? What part of the story am I missing? You just walked into Dunkin' Donuts. Okay, Claudia recommended that I try it. Okay. Yeah, whatever. Like, always thinking about you. Like, I don't even understand. And let me also tell you. Dunkin' Donuts, this is the heart of New York. Real New Yorkers drink Dunkin'. Because you walk in there, there's a cop. There's always a cop. This is the home of cops. You've never seen a cop. Well, they like the donuts, but yeah. You've still never seen a cop. stereotypes you've never you've never ever ever seen a cop in starbucks i completely agree transplants and like starbucks is so elitist i hate starbucks like i'm always telling you that it's crap support the support support the boys in blue go to duncan no real new yorkers like you you're right you walk in there this is new york it's true what commercial is that i feel like it's the car service commercial it is like i when you walk into uh star uh a dunk and donuts it's literally like you know people on their way to work like hardcore real hard-working new yorkers who america runs on duncan america runs on this isn't an ad but i'm so glad you've had a change of heart i didn't even had a change of heart and while it's not an ad like come on duncan yeah come on this is this is nice i'd say i haven't had enough munchkins in my pregnancy yeah duncan of fantastic i fucking love a munchkin fantastic so yeah my leaning of the week at starbucks because they convinced me that sugar-free hazelnut was sold out worldwide when in reality i think that they just like i also want to do it you said that like you were pretending and I think there's actually a lot of pretending with Starbucks.

52:18Like people just like the cups and the colors and the branding and they're just pretending. And the convenience. The mobile app is completely revolutionary. I agree. The mobile app is revolutionary. I agree. Every day I wake up, do it. And it's ready. I feel like Dunkin' Donuts and these other places like also have apps that also work. You just like don't download them. Maybe. You think there's mobile pickup? What's proprietary about? You think that there's mobile pickup for Dunkin'? I don't know. They have like those kiosks now at McDonald's. Like why wouldn't they? I'm going to look into it.

52:44Just an idea. Okay. My weenie of the week is HBO Max. I don't know if you heard. They're reneging on their rebrand. Oh, I did. Jackie was being so funny on the toast yesterday. And you know what? She was 100 % right. Like, imagine being a billion dollar company and dropping the ball so hard. Like, it's actually embarrassing. It is. It's weenie-like behavior. It's completely insane to have worked so hard to build that amount of brand equity. When you see HBO, because we're watching The Sopranos now, when you get that, you're like, oh, this is going to be a really fucking great show. Can I ask you a question?

53:14I saw somebody say this once on Twitter. When you hear the hum, what theme song starts playing in your mind? Curb. Oh, for me, it's... I rest my case. Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm. No, but like, the best TV was made by HBO. Who is Max? Literally, who is Max? Maddie's husband. My Machatim sister husband, yeah. It's not a streaming service. No, no, who is Max in this world? Max isn't it's HBO completely agree if anything drop the Max it's just HBO 1000 % what is Max doing there I don't know you sound like Jerry Seinfeld yeah what is Max doing there what is Max doing there it's I'll tell you what Max is doing there being weenie of the week weenie Max is a weenie queenie I'm gonna go first I've been planning my queenie all week actually you do it and I'm really excited that you're here I really hope you don't have mine my queen no unless did you make yourself queenie of the week no you are my queenie of the week so I thought this would be a great way to wrap up the show I wanted to because I cloud on Ben like all the time on this podcast on my Instagram on his podcast pretty much any public forum that I can get on but I would be remiss I would be devastated I would even be heartbroken if I didn't spend the next two minutes publicly declaring how fabulous of a husband you have been always in our entire pregnancy I mean our entire marriage but from the moment I found out I'm pregnant let me tell you this man has not let me cook my own meal lifted a finger I know that if you could take on even an eighth of this burden physically you would do it like you are so we have I know it hasn't been like you know a dream for you but like I have loved this I haven't loved this time I can't lie I haven't loved being pregnant but I have loved spending this time with you I feel like we are closer than ever I feel like I know you better than ever I know without a shadow of a doubt you're gonna be the best dad I'm like not even worried but you so deserve Queenie because you've just made this as comfortable as possible never missed an appointment and like just I feel like you made me laugh like you have been just so fucking fabulous there's only so much a husband can do in pregnancy right and let me tell you they could write books about what Ben Soffer Celebrity has done for me like I clown on you and we joke but I just have to tell you I love you so much I love you more I appreciate you so much this is so unexpected I couldn't have done it without you.

55:34I love you. I love you. I love you. Thank you. Queenie. You've been a queen too. Of course. Yes I have. You've handled this like a champ. No and I'm so thin I barely gained any weight. Like it's insane. Like a champ. Agreed. I love you. Thank you. I love you. That was very sweet. Who's your queenie? And all that I have to say is like now looking at it like some husbands need to do a little bit better. Do you feel judgmental? It's not judgmental. I feel sad. I feel really sad that like there are guys out there that are are so deadbeat and they don't even realize it like like give a shred of a shit help yeah whatever okay my queenie sorry it's not you it's okay because it's of the week yeah of course queenie of my life is you my queenie of the week no question is timothy chalamet wow not jaylen brunson no i thought you were gonna say the No, Timothy Chalamet has stepped into a role that we desperately needed to fill as the number one public Knicks fan.

56:32Okay? This guy is going to every game, sitting courtside, bringing the Kardashians, traveling, going to Boston. Wearing cool outfits. He is it. And Spike Lee, I'm sorry, you're done. Wow, you think Timothy is replacing? It was a crazy week. Spike Lee missed one Knick game because of the Met Gala. Uh-huh. And he was replaced. Wow. Nobody is talking about Spike Lee as the number one Knicks fan anymore. It's now they're saying, some people are saying Ben Stiller. It's not Ben Stiller. It's Timothee Chalamet. I agree. And all that I have to say is that he is, once Kylie is wearing a Knicks hat, the Knicks are slowly moving into like really fucking cool territory.

57:12No more clowning. Okay. Wearing Knicks stuff. I've been doing it for 33 years. We've been losers. Big time. We've been losers. We're not losers. We're fucking awesome. Definitely has something to do with Jalen Brunson and the team. But Timothy Chalamet is helping. Is helping. He's helping our PR. Do you want to make an official prediction score-wise? Do you think the Knicks are going to win tonight? Yes or no? The Knicks are going to win tonight. I think that they are too. Because I can't fathom them losing this series after they were up 3-1. And if they lose tonight, there is no doubt in my mind that they lose Game 7.

57:42No, of course. If they lose tonight, then it's over. They are going to win tonight. Also, the player, like the best player for the other team is out. Like there's literally no reason that they should lose. I know, but the Celtics really are like a team. Yeah, they're great. Like even without Jason Tatum, they're still great. Yeah, but he's really good. He's really good. I think that the Knicks are going to win 109-102. It's going to be slightly lower scoring than everybody expects. 109-102 Knicks. Shit, I'm changing it. I'm changing it. 119-112. Okay, I like it. 119-112. Knicks. You heard it here first.

58:20Jalen Brunson is going to have 40 points, and the Knicks are going to win. What do you think? I hope. I'm with you. Hashtag I'm with BSC. And also just look for us. We're not Celebrity Row, but we're pretty fucking close. Yeah, maybe if you see me on TV, take a picture, unless I look fat. Snap a pic. So that is that on my final episode before maternity leave. I just want to say I'm going to miss you all so much. I hope you're not going to miss me too much. They are. They are. No, I'm really excited. Like, I can't wait to see what sort of podcaster I become after this, you know? I think that you're going to come back with a fresh perspective.

58:54Uh-huh. Unique POV. Unique POV. And while you are out, there are still new episodes of The Good Guys. So you're more than welcome to come over. We'll be talking. No, don't. And, hey. No, don't.
