Mr. and Mr. Maldonado: Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. Welcome back to the Toast and happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a par-dilicious definition and of course, Fergalicious Tuesday. I'm having a brutalicious Tuesday because Bruno is here. He heard that rodeo had started coming to work, pulling his weight. He started to feel guilty and he's back. You're having a, what did you say, a brutalicious? Brutalicious. I'm having a cutalicious. What's that? It's kind of a celebratory day in my community. Sorry, Q-munity. Because it's Tuesday. And that means that the DTQ. Oh, so it's a Q-telicious. Yeah, it's a Q. Q-U-E. I thought it was like C-U-T-E.

1:07I mean, every day when you're Turdy Lou Freebush is a Q-telicious day. Every day on this show. We're such Q-U-E's. It's Tuesday after the vitriol that was sent my way for prioritizing my physical health last week. and yeah skipping deer toasters I'm back with a vengeance um I just want to say to the DTQ I was not only I not only heard but was extremely hurt by your words last week um I don't know you know why we have to attack other segments when we're defending the DTQ like that's really hurtful um I'm sorry like I said like I was having a really tough day yesterday last Tuesday this Tuesday I got like nine hours of uninterrupted sleep like I'm good we will queue we will DTQ but I just want to say some of you were acting really fucking out of control last week some of you should be ashamed of yourselves not even the attacking of other segments which I understand you're lashing out that's where I draw the line personally feel any sort of way yeah you could tell she wasn't okay and that dear toasters is more important to you than your girl's health because guess what say she powers through that dear toasters and you get what you want but at what cost what if she couldn't do the next day we missed a whole episode because of dear toasters like you guys really need to put things into perspective and be glad and be glad that she quit while she was ahead where i drew the line was like with people coming for weenie of the week like let's not let's not go there okay just because you love one segment doesn't mean you have to put another segment down but like if you want to come for weenie of the week like you're not hurting anyone right except for claudia you're hurting me yeah but i just think coming for the fact that we didn't do deer toasters on and we're not moving it to another day like we have a schedule we have things to do sorry if you didn't watch real houses beverly hills and you'd rather have deer toasters like there's a lot of people who listen to this show it's yeah it's a community and while i love the dtq i'm always defending them you guys turned on me last week and i've been like the like your advocate and so i didn't think that that was cool not the one no but having said that like we are back today with a vengeance the submissions are amazing it's gonna be great can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts but like but go easy on me okay like i am kind of the the last standing dtqa dtq advocate and you it's just it's a teachable moment people throw rocks at things that shine it's a teachable moment just next time zoom out a little bit yeah go to patreon we have like whole episodes dedicated to dear toasters speaking of Patreon.

3:37Jackie and I did something yesterday. We literally made ourselves so sick sitting in these chairs. Nor Jackie, Jackie nor I, we talked about this last week. Have I ever really tried crumble cookies? I have had a bite of a chocolate chip cookie from crumble once. Like I have to, I feel like I have to say that because people are going to be like, no, you didn't. But we've never like eaten the menu items. We've never participated in crumble culture. And so we did yesterday. And of course we filmed the entire thing. We tried all seven menu items in these chairs. We had them delivered. It was such a journey of unexpected results.

4:06I don't want to spoil it, so I won't. But if you're looking for our thoughts on crumble as a concept, but also their individual cookies, we did a taste test of this week's menu items on the Patreon. It was hysterical. It was hysterical. We felt so sick afterwards. Yeah, I don't want to spoil anything. So I'll just say, like, head over to patreon.com slash the toast when you're done listening to this episode. Probably go over on desktop, not the app. Otherwise, they'll charge you more. Yeah, just a reminder. We have not raised our Patreon prices. $7.99. as always that's what we made it when we started it's like the costco hot dog it is seven dollars and 99 cents it is interviewing us like how are you keeping patreon prices down right in this economy just like the arizona tea guy always right stories about him and his one so true 99 cents with his four billion dollar company so he's so generous with his one right right why don't you give it away for free nobody's that generous yeah well if you were to ask us we haven't changed our prices um although it appears as though we have because if you download the patreon app on like ios on your phone and subscribe apple has started charging a 30 fee like we don't even get that money that that shit blows that shit goes to tim cook's pocket okay so honestly like go to patreon.com on your computer if you want to sign up don't go on actually if you like whatever's easier for you i don't know your financial situation dollars for the convenience of the app that's also fine but just know like those extra few dollars do not line my pockets they don't they don't line my pockets patreon.com slash a toast yeah so that was a really fun thing we did yesterday and then And after that, I got an at-home prenatal massage, which I planned the day poorly.

5:31My stomach was rumbling. I felt so sick after eating all those cookies. I couldn't even relax. Yeah, I understand. It was not a good sequence of events. No, I had to burn off all the sugar. Went grocery shopping, cooked a healthy dinner. I had taco salad. I just needed health. I had chicken rocks. Yum. We're so south of the border. Literally. What's that? Ed Sheeran song, South of the Border, with Camila Cabello. It was actually a good song, but I don't know how it goes. I don't know either. And there's a part where they go, South of the Border. Like us having dinner last night. Literally. Just have that energy.

6:08And then I was forced to watch the Knicks game, which I do obviously like watching sports, especially when there's like a cultural, pop-cultural connection. And basketball, I will say, of all the sports, I feel has the least pop-cultural connections, except last night. And I'm learning a lot about the Knicks. I haven't really watched them in a couple of years. Jordan Woods is like the number one wag. Do you know her man is like the best player on the Knicks? I think you told us that. Oh, did I? Well, he's really shining. It's playoffs, so it's like a big deal. And it's Carla Anthony Towns this, Carla Anthony Towns that.

6:40And then the other night we watched the game and he went over when they won. They lost last night. When they won, they followed him like when the buzzer buzzed. And he ran over to Jordan. She looked gorgy and sitting courtside. You know, wags don't usually sit courtside. Well, celebrity wags do. Yeah. Did Ben go to the game? No. So I, it's only the first round. And it was the first and second games of the first round. Like, okay, if it's a chance that like they win the game to go to the next round, like he can go. But I'm like, please don't waste your time. Like leaving me home alone, wasting money.

7:13Like, come on. We'll watch it together. We'll have so much fun. We'll have so much fun. So we watched the first one together. I think it was on Saturday night. And like, I just kind of got lost in my phone. I was not being like an active participant. pint and I was like fuck like I felt myself I felt the game ending and I was just like seriously not paying attention and he was like you weren't really like watching and like talking with me and I'm like you're so right you are so right so if you were looking for me last night between the hours of like 7 and 9 30 I was so fucking active I was like really trying to make I'm like that is amazing that they can do that like it's so and and that's that's Jalen Brunson right I was so fucking chatty and active and I feel like it really made him happy and like I got him to stay home for one more game you know what's that worth that sounds like a lot of work like maybe you should just let him go to the game so you can relax it was definitely a lot of work but it wasn't worse than being alone it wasn't and is there maybe someone you could invite over like a mutual friend of both of yours who could take on some of this work and talk to ben about the game while them both stay home but then we're not in bed and if we're not in bed we might as well be out of the house you know what i mean could be in your bed satchel or romeo but satchie wouldn't be a good pal.

8:19Not an active participant. And you wouldn't watch on your couch? I have such a love-hate relationship with my couch. I mean, you have to get out your binoculars. No, not a... Okay, don't be fucking rude. That's not true. I have a very nice, expensive TV in there. I know. You know it was expensive because it was the frame. Yeah, and then you have to buy the frame separately, okay? Like, nobody talks about that. I know. I just... I'm in my house. I'm in my pajamas. I'm laying down... Not on my couch? I understand. I mean, not on my bed. Listen, you're preaching to the choir. I feel like maybe before I got pregnant, I was more open to the couch.

8:54But seriously, what am I doing on my couch? No, I'm trying to find solutions for you. But I understand it's an imperfect situation. Yeah. And so our building has like this outdoor area. It's been so beautiful in the city. And there's like an outdoor TV couch set up. And like we keep saying like, we'll have some people over. Like, well, it's not happening. It's not happening. You'd rather do that than just let them go to the game. have some people over and watch outside. You guys don't understand. I fucking hate being alone. And I actually, like, kudos to that. I can't remember the last time I was alone.

9:27I've been really supported throughout this journey. And so, yeah, I'll do whatever it takes in my home. Okay. Do what you got to do, Coach. That's what I'm doing. I watched Paul American last night. I know you did. So good. The fight with Floyd Mayweather was postponed because Floyd had an ulcer, which we knew you know in real time um so he's trying to find another person to fight him and it's actually funny because tommy fury came up and that's what i was thinking i was like just fight tommy again everybody loved that the first time yeah that was i wish like i had been more conscious of of the paul fury like i wasn't claudia at the time of the fight it was such a big deal and i didn't really know a lot about i'm like why do we care about these people one of my life's regrets oh you too okay but it was not being conscious for the jake paul tommy fury fight yeah like to have i would have stayed up for it i would have hosted people i just remember I've never seen a video of like a girl named Molly Mae cheering when she found out because she couldn't watch it and she was home with her baby.

10:20And I was like, oh, I'm happy for her. That looks nice. Yeah, it was very much like I watched it as an outsider. So they were trying to think like who could sub in for Mike Tyson. They were like Floyd Mayweather, but he won't fight on seven weeks notice. Tommy Fury. And then they were like, Netflix said that'd be a big disappointment. It's like, damn, not Tommy Fury catching strays. But I understood what they meant. Like to go from Mike Tyson. From a prize winning fighter. And to a rematch because he wound up fighting a guy named Mike Perry who's just like some fighter who's really good. Jake's never fought him before so they were able to beat Billet like you know the violence king or whatever.

10:55But I feel like a rematch almost why would that denigrate and maybe I'm just offensive of Tommy Ferry but like why would that make it worse? If anything it's higher stakes. There's history. Especially because Tommy beat Jake. Correct. And he's like the only person who has right? Maybe that's why. Maybe that's why. No he would have done anything like to make this fight. he like a good fight he has a lot of money riding on it a lot of money the fans like to like he i don't think he's scared of anyone i don't think so and i think at some point he will refight tommy fury and he will win and we will be there like maybe we'll go like we'll be so conscious let's go unless it's like across the world but hopefully it's in tampa with the rest oh yeah was the last one in jubai i think so or saudi arabia okay what about miami that what about miami yeah tampa they do a lot of stuff in Tampa.

11:43No, that's WWE. They were in Tampa last night. Logan. Yeah, because Logan is WWE. Wait, hold on. The name of the arena. WWE is headquartered. The name of the arena was something like the Emily Arena. Tampa. Yeah, that's WWE. Jake Paul was fighting. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, so wow, they hit up Tampa. I would go to Vegas. I feel like maybe they would win like Phoenix. I would go. I will go. If the next Jake Paul, Tommy Fury flight is in the US. In the States. I will go. What about Puerto Rico? I will consider it. You don't need a passport. My passport's expired. I need to take care of that. Isn't it kind of crazy feeling like I can't flee the country if I need to?

12:21It feels very like I'm living on the edge. It is a weird feeling. It is, right? Yeah. Okay, I need to do that. But they said I need a new picture. And so obviously now I'm going to have to delay that. You're going to wait until you're on Olympic. Correct. And then Logan and Nina are planning a wedding in Italy. They're looking at all these venues. They're so funny. They're like, this one's$1 million. This one is$3.6 million. They talk about the price of everything. I really appreciate that, honestly. As somebody who planned a wedding. He's, like, obsessed with buying collectibles. He bought, like, Wayne Gretzky's championship hockey stick for$336 ,000.

12:54And he buys— That's, like, a good price. Does it? But, like, they're having a baby ending that's, like, you have to stop. Okay. But so, obviously,$336 ,000 sounds like a lot of money. But, like, relative to his wealth, they're so— Like, it's unbelievable how much money these two make. so I feel like when you said three I thought you were gonna say three million dollars no money 300 object for them it's actually so fun to watch and then they're also like having conversations like our daughter will have anything in this world she can go anywhere and do anything like how do we make sure she's a good person right and then you're like she'll have to fly commercial and Logan's like you'll take her I'll meet you well I do feel like they are oddly even though they're like very extravagant whatever I feel like they're oddly fiscally responsible they've been making a lot of money for a really long time and they're always like investing in new businesses yes like obviously they do crazy cars and things planes but i don't worry about them the way like i used to worry about the zolciak beermans and i was right for that they weren't making a lot of money like the paul brothers there was a brief stint where they were doing very well making paul money no but i don't look at them and think that the pauls are living beyond their means no at all no not at all they live extraordinarily but well within their it's all relative yeah no And they're saving all those taxes being in Puerto Rico.

14:12That's why I can't watch the show because I'll be too jealous of all the money they're saving on taxes. Yeah. But once again, I just want to recommend Paul American to the all-American viewer because it's really an interesting show. And I want to dive in, but I do want to give a quick, brief, but honorable shout out to our Catholic community who thought everything we said about the Pope was so fucking funny yesterday. Even though we didn't make any jokes because we would never. No, we didn't. But we were like giggling about stuff. And they were like, no, you guys should totally come up with your Pope names.

14:44Because it's kind of how we have Hebrew names. And I was like, oh, yeah, duh. It's so appropriate. When everybody goes through Mass, they come up with a name. And they loved Turney's version. The Papacy. Well, that's beautiful. Beauty is beauty. Right. And Catholics respect beauty. There was nothing funny about that. Nothing funny about the Papacy. I'm seeing a lot of names being thrown around. Me too. Different cardinals. I've seen six. You've seen six. I saw four, but like two people were like blocked out because the other two are the shiners. Yeah. Stars. I think it'll be a while. They go into a state of mourning with like an interim.

15:24There is an interim pope. Right. And I think that's actually who Ralph Fiennes was in the movie, if I'm remembering correctly. um so it'll be a while before they've elected a new pope yeah hopefully there's no controversy i could see like one of these candidates old tweets that liking instagram models classic tale photos on instagram yeah so they'll be on their best behavior how are the stories today good there are things we have to talk about you know oh well let's well let's talk about them so let's dive in to the fast five stories that you not do need to know and the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by quince mother's day is actually a really difficult holiday to shop for um you know mothers love to be like oh don't get me anything i have everything i need and then they look you get mad when you don't get them anything so if you want to give something that feels really special quince has totally solved it everything is high quality it feels super thoughtful and is actually affordable so don't overthink it just go to straight to quit go straight to quince on mother's day so they have cashmere sweaters starting at 50 they have 14 karat gold jewelry, Italian leather bags, fragrances, and more.

16:29The best part is that all of Quince's items are priced 50 to 80 % less than similar brands. They do that by partnering directly with top factories. Quince cuts the cost of the middleman and passes the savings on to us. Quince, of course, only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices, plus premium fabrics and finishes, which we love. I picked up so many items from Quince that really blend in to my wardrobe as a luxury item, and they're so affordable. That's the best part. I have a fabulous cashmere sweater that I get so many compliments on. I have a really good solid pair of black trousers that are just good businesswoman pants that I wear for long hours and I kind of sweat and they've really worn very well.

17:06That's the difference with Quince. Everything is made really well, but you're not paying an exorbitant amount of money for it, which I really appreciate. So it's thoughtful, it's timeless, and it's totally her. Shop Mother's Day at Quince. Go to quince.com slash toast for free shipping on your order and 365 365 day returns.

Our first story, People's World's Most Beautiful Woman is Here and Announced, And it is Demi Moore. I think that's a great selection. She had a good big year. She's a beautiful woman, of course. I can't really get into my annual speech about people's most beautiful woman and sexiest man alive and like how different and strange they are.

19:33So I'll just say this. Good selection. I'm happy for Demi. I think she's very beautiful. she is very beautiful considering people's usual thresholds for this selection and what i appreciate is that they always go with an older woman it's not like maxim maxim bombshell even though to me more could be on that list too like i like their commitment to you know appreciating respecting older women and not just like always younger girls and no it would be like alex earl right right so i think given that like that's their parameters usually like this is the perfect choice like they gave Julia Roberts the year off because Demi had a big year and everything about Demi's year was like about her beauty about her aging process about the struggle to age with grace and this they couldn't have written it better a better candidate couldn't have come across their desk no and I don't think we did predictions I never would have predicted this although it is like so it's right in front of us it's such a great choice obvious much and more obvious than her being times most influential correct although it's clearly list time a lot of lists coming out this year it's only april i know maybe there's like a mid-season list obviously the list one list the lists that you know we love come out at the end of the year but it does feel like we've been doing a lot of lists i love lists i love lists our listeners don't love lists i know they don't but the good one the good thing about this is not like one through 100 it's just one world's most beautiful decided by people the photos are really beautiful she's talking gorgeous the last year her experience with the substance and the way the movie was received and aging and motherhood and and it's just exactly like when you look up people's most beautiful in the dictionary like you will find this has to me ever been before because it's a title you can hold multiple times just ask julia roberts that's where things go in the rabbit hole we gotta look at the history well i can also just ask ai people's most how many times has demie more been people's most beautiful woman i also read that you shouldn't tell chat gbt thank you or please it takes up like a lot of energy for them to process those words just once 2025 julia roberts holds the record with five appearances on the cover honor as the cover honoree yeah no that feels right so i saw that you're not supposed to like say please and thank you to ai i always say please like hey chibi d like please recommend a book for my book club because i'm not like a neander i don't know why please would it's just another word that they have to process and then like apparently ai like takes a lot of energy to process those servers get really hot and it just contributes to global warming i i had read a little while ago like every time you ask ai a question it burns like one double a battery oh it's more than that I think like every time you ask a question like you kill a polar bear and I know that these are real problems like they're just not my problems I need information for my podcast and you Sam Altman whoever like figure it out it's so not our problem whatsoever but I will say you foisted this mechanism onto us I understand that please and thank you take up energy but I think if people get used to asking for things without saying please and thank you it's gonna have a trickle down effect to like the rest of society and i think it's worth the expenditure i do i actually think that's a really brilliant analysis because i was just gonna cut out please and thank you and then it's like what kind of monster am i i don't say thank you i've moved on because also most of the time they haven't given me what i've really needed oh are you talking about you don't say thank you in real life or just ai ai oh my god yeah me neither like no i got what i needed bye yeah like i'm not sticking around i have a life.

23:231000%. Who's like sitting having pleasantries with AI? But I always say please. Yeah of course. That's really funny. It's a funny anecdote. Yeah it is but you're right. We shouldn't forego the pleasantries. I think it's worth it. Sorry polar bears. Sorry penguins. Manners come first. Siri. Siri. The thing is you can't blame me. I didn't invent AI. I'm just like a prop in the machine yeah but to get back to our question the previous sexiest beautiful women last year i wasn't asking but okay last year sofia vergara feels right did i tell you i saw her at a restaurant the other day no i don't think you did that's surprising pargylish most beautiful what you said yeah i i was like actually really taken by her and also at the same facility the same evening i saw reese witherspoon wow has she been most beautiful she's next by the way definitely She's definitely next.

24:18The thing is you have to agree to sit for it. And there's like an interview that's associated. And not everyone wants to do a People Magazine interview. If they're in promotion mode. Reese would 100 % do it if she had something coming out. 100%. I don't know. I don't think that she would. Why? Because when I think of the tier of press that she would do for any like promotional, whether it's like a new book or whatever, I just think it exceeds People. even though people is like literally the largest magazine in this country i think you're wrong i think she i don't think that i am she was on a press tour and it was most beautiful she would do this in a heartbeat it's so like her brand and i disagree audience i disagree the year before melissa mccarthy i don't remember that me neither then helen mirin 2022 okay christy tegan 2021 21 i don't like that like not because she doesn't fit the mold like sorry a bikini model please like agreed get out of here go back to sports illustrated bitch we're respecting like older women okay yeah aging gracefully yeah um then but the year before that i actually think it was it was three people was goldie hawn kate hudson and ronnie hudson fujikawa which is so cute daughter so it's three generations of beautiful women so cute so cute so cute the year before Jennifer Garner like a perfect selection yeah Jennifer Garner is like of the Julia Roberts elk you know who else is gonna have her chance at this soon I think Kelly Clarkson she's coming up her time is coming I completely agree she's extremely beautiful and she's the elk of people's most beautiful I mean she's like so American so accomplished it's it's a great call confident attitude a list of predictions that are definitely going to come true like that's so obvious I don't even feel like I made a great call I feel like no you did you did because I didn't know what you were gonna say like you obviously did okay the year before pink I want to let you know like I actually don't care anymore like beyond the last 10 years but feel free to keep going well it's like if you care we're not even okay oh okay she got me out of technicality okay um but then yeah the years before like Jennifer Julia Roberts with Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, the usuals.

26:29The Julia's and the Jennifer's. Exactly. Yeah. So mazel tov to Demi Moore. Yeah. Another great accolade this year for you. Mm-hmm. Almost as good as an Oscar. Almost. Our next story is some very exciting product news because Khloe Kardashian is launching cloud protein popcorn that snackers don't have to feel guilty about. Yes, she's been teasing this for like a little while. Yeah, but in the last like 24, 48 hours, more teasers have come out. And now the official announcement, the Easter baskets of the Kardashian children at Chris's Palm Springs Easter celebration had so much stuff in them, including popcorn that said cloud, K-H-L-O-U-D, and it's protein popcorn.

27:13So eagle eye viewers saw that. And now it has been officially announced that she is launching cloud protein popcorn, a seed oil free snack that contains more than three times the amount of protein. She's such a podcaster. I'm sorry. her seed oil free popcorn. No Claudia she's one of us. She's like a you know you're like really entering the podcast sphere when you launch a protein product. Yeah. No when you're talking about seed oils even though of course like seed oils are bad. I've seen it like I've seen it all about seed oils and I will hopefully stay away from them. But I'm not as passionate about seed oils as a usual podcaster and mother.

27:50I can't really be that like emphatic about seed oils because apparently my beloved I can't believe is not butter spray is like just exclusively seed oils and i can't give that up therefore i can't give up seed oils yeah that's why like i like to shop at thrive market because like they don't have seed like i don't but i'm not always looking you know and i'm sure seed oils get into my every day one thousand percent but down with seed oils like down but that's like that's the big marketing thing of the moment so chloe launching a product that's obviously like a protein packed snack which is great seed oil free like that's what the peeps are looking for the health conscious folk yeah so um and it's a popcorn and she said I'm at this stage in my health journey for the past few years that I've been really trying to up my protein intake I'm all about muscle definition and being strong and healthy not just skinny the skinny is nice too she didn't say that yeah no for me like I'm okay just being skinny no it's like you can say that when you're skinny like she is like she is skinny you know yeah no and I just like I want to say like that's enough for me Diana yeah yeah it's actually not for her because she works out so much like she does need protein yes 1000 % um but it's like nice to say that like when you're already skinny she said protein wise I'm not someone that's going to sit down and have steak and eggs all day long and I need to consume protein I was going to fitness stores to get protein grab and go and they don't taste very well in my opinion and they're filled with so much filler and artificial stuff and I really just wanted something selfishly that tasted great that didn't have a ton of ingredients in it that I could fill my protein intake with I have to say she's gonna be a billionaire this you think oh my god I'm gonna as long as it's tasty I would eat this all day long and then assuming it does well which popcorn is a huge category weirdly like there's some like boom chicka pop lesser evil like people love healthy popcorns it's an easy thing to have be healthy it's not that fattening um then so to take it to like the quest chips level is she's the first to do it and then she can do all sorts of protein snacks.

29:40She could be the next quest. She could. She could. I. I'm not so sure. Really? What are your what did you think when you saw it? Well. I don't know. I just was like, I actually I don't have clear thoughts on it. I didn't think immediately this is brilliant or this is stupid. I was like, as a concept, yes, like we're all snacking all the time. So like your sex can be a little bit more, you know, protein filled like that's great. And the fact that there really hasn't been that when you when you think of like protein snacks, you think of quest you think of like real like meathead snacks you know what I mean like so this is like a pargy lesser evil um I don't know I don't know I'm not sure and the thing is for me I don't like getting my protein from like non-protein sources like I do if I want protein like I'm gonna have chicken I'm gonna have eggs like I don't want a protein chip like actually I don't I don't feel like okay I got my protein it just feels like very phony um so even if these this popcorn didn't have protein if it was just like healthy, if it was lesser evil type popcorn, like, and it was tasty, just like puff corn that we love.

30:43Yes. Like air. Like air. I would be so down. I'm always looking to expand my popcorn portfolio. But like the fact that it has non-artificial added protein, however you can get protein into popcorn, please someone explain to me one day, not today, I don't care, is a bonus. I think it's brilliant. I need to try it and then I'll give more thoughts. I think it has potential. But I'm not 100 % sure. I think this could be big business. I mean, the food category, look at Siete. It's also a category that the girls haven't infiltrated yet. I feel like a lot of their brands sort of like overlap with one another.

31:21And they're like all in the same category. This is totally new and different. I feel like the only thing I can think of similar is weirdly the Jonas Brothers have a popcorn company. I didn't know that. But it's more like artisanal. You know, it's like delicious because they're boys. Like it doesn't need to be healthy. and it sells it does pretty well I think I think it's called Rob's okay yeah something really random like that um so this is a totally new new thing for her and so maybe that's why I don't have like clear thoughts because I don't like I don't have a good example to reference as like somebody who did it right you know I think and also there's so many brands like this like new age health brands started by moms who are on a mission, right?

32:03I'm on a mission. You know, to seed oils and get protein for my kids. And they're so picky. But this isn't for kids. It's not not for kids. Oh, really? I feel like it's not for kids. No, I feel like it could be for kids. I don't know if you need like giving your kids like protein and popcorn. But maybe not like babies. Well, actually, you can't even have popcorn until a certain age. It's a choking hazard. But like I'm sure True takes down some cloud. I don't know. why not? I don't know. It just feels weird. Like you're giving your kids like a protein shake. I think some people give their kids protein shakes.

32:38You really? Yeah. Like in a nonjudgment. Maybe I don't know when I make a little, when I make a Flav City protein shake, like I'll give my kids a sip. They love it. They would love it. They would love it. What was I? So anyways, she's has like the right background. Mom on a mission to make snacking better. It's a good name too. Mom on a mission to make snacking better. I can see her on Shark Tank. I would love to see her as a guest shark. Her name is obviously a part of the title, but it's also like Cloud Popcorn. That's just a good name. And then she could just be like Cloud Foods. Correct. Cloud Incorporated.

33:12And all of a sudden she's Kraft. Cloud Incorporated. She's Marjorie Post. Yeah, that's a better example. So watch out. You guys better watch out for Chloe. We're watching. We're flying Coco Air soon. up in the clouds cloud air do you think they feel like competitive at all with one another the sisters i don't think so i really don't like if you if we all like had businesses and everyone's living well and enjoying life and like you had a plane and i didn't like i just want to ride you know yeah as long as you're generous with the plane yeah and i think this it seems as though the sisters are yeah um so will we find cloud air soon can't wait mazel tov chloe You love to see a podcaster doing big things.

34:00And doing big business. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? I am. I don't even need to ask what number it is. I just know it's number three. The Academy sets a new Oscars rule for 2025. You need to watch all nominated. And suddenly things make sense. You need to watch all nominated films in order to vote in a category. So apparently this was not the case up until today. The Academy of Motion Picture. And now I understand like how films like Amelia Perez and Nora made it this far. Nobody actually saw them. Yeah. They were like voting based on vibes. Vibes. How it felt and how it looked. Judging a book by its cover, literally.

34:36Literally. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has approved new awards rules, updated campaign promotional regulations, and key dates for the upcoming 98th Oscars. The nominations voting period will run from January 12th to January 16th. Among the most notable changes are revised voting requirements, the introduction of an achievement in casting award. Oh, I love that. Perfectly cast movies. I love that too. Hairspray. Give it posthumously to Hairspray. Give it posthumously to Hairspray. Give it to Sleepover. Yes, Jane Lynch. And clarified guidance on the use of general artificial intelligence in film production.

35:12The updated rules also include expanded eligibility for international filmmakers and new submission deadlines across several categories. In a key procedural shift, Academy members are now required to view all nominated films within a category to be eligible to vote in the final round. While it's surprising this wasn't already a formal requirement, questions remain about how the Academy plans to verify compliance and enforce the rule. So basically, they have like a streaming service that they send to all the members where you watch the movies. So they'll be able to see who watch the movies. But say you saw the movie at a festival or at the movie theater, you'll have to, I don't know, like submit your ticket.

35:43Yeah, well, there are ways, first of all. And second of all, I obviously didn't know. A little quiz about the movie. I obviously didn't know that like you didn't need to watch the films. I just assumed that you did. Right. And I obviously like this should be the rule. But the fact that it wasn't. And now they're making it one like we're talking about it. They almost should have left it as it is because now we all know that. Literally, what's this coming up on the 90th Oscars? Like now we know that the 98. Then we know the 97 before this were genuinely like fraudulent. Yeah. It calls into question every Oscar ever given out.
