In short

The Toast’s “Fast Five Stories” episode with Ben Soffer and co-host Lish, mixing personal updates with reality-TV commentary and a recurring bit about their fictional spinoff podcast “Namesake.”

Guests

Ben Soffer (host) and Lish (guest co-host). No other guests appear in the transcript.

Guest backgrounds

Ben Soffer is a regular Toast host; Lish is a recurring-style co-host/“dish” presence on the show (no further personal background provided in the transcript).

Key claims

  1. They announce “Namesake” as an interview concept where guests must share a name with a family member (or nickname/family-tree workaround).
  2. They celebrate Kylie Jenner’s rumored/secret pregnancy reveal as a “new nephew” moment and say the “exclusive” will be on Patreon.
  3. On Love Island USA, they say season 8 includes Zach (Charlie’s brother) and that the season premieres June 2.
  4. On Summer House, they argue Kyle is “shady,” Wes is a “love bomber,” and Amanda is both a victim and responsible for choices; they criticize the reunion narrative about Craig.

Notable examples

  • Namesake examples: Zach/Charlie; “King Charles” and “Barbra Streisand” as hypothetical matches; “Sincere” can’t come on (as stated).
  • Summer House examples: Craig’s alleged “stolen trade secrets” dispute; Kyle allegedly never reading Ben’s text; Kyle/Wes/Amanda/Craig dynamics discussed.

Do you know how many people have been close to your mic?

0:54Claudia Oshry:I know. And I appreciate that you're aware that I don't want to be too close to things. Yeah. Yeah. I know. That's why I stopped giving you hugs in 2019. That's great. I didn't even notice. Yeah. No, I know. I would love to though. Okay. You let me know when you're ready to receive a hug. I'll let you know. But know that. Sometimes if I haven't seen you in a long period of time. But know that I'm conscious. Like I gave you a hug when I came to New York, right? You did. But know that I anytime I walk into a room, I'm there to give you a hug. But I am consciously saying, you know, it's okay, Ben.

1:25She knows that you would give her a hug.

1:27Claudia Oshry:Okay. Let me ask you something. Do you think every time you see me we're supposed to hug? Yes. So this morning when I... I would have loved to have given you a hug. I would have loved to have given you a hug. Maybe even a kiss on the head. It didn't even cross my mind. A light kiss on the head. It didn't cross my mind. Well, as long as The producer says we can hear him good. Can you hear me? I don't have to do this. I'm going to trust that you know. This sounds good. This is what I do. I'm going to trust that you know your volumes because you're a professional. And by the way, he can always raise my volumes.

1:55Claudia Oshry:But he raises me already. No, I'm saying in post, they can raise my individual volume. So even if it's over here or if it's over here, I don't have to. It's not an ice cream cone. I really hope Claudia is not watching. It's not an ice cream cone. I hope Claudia is not watching this. She's definitely watching this. She's watching this for tips. Hey, Claude. We miss you. Claudia is out sick today. and while like I'm sad to not be with my sister who I love and adore and who I'm so simpatico with, I'm actually like excited for a little Lish on the dish. It's fun. Dishing with Lish. Yeah, dishing with Lish.

2:23Claudia Oshry:We have a lot to talk about today. The stories are sort of like things that we talk about often but I'm excited to get your take. Great. Fresh perspective. And also today's like a very exciting day because we have a new nephew. We do, we do. We have a new nephew. We do, we do. Oh, we said that it was a boy? Okay, we have a new nephew. Yeah, well she posted a blue heart. It was the blue hearts. I was thinking that. It's just like... Subtle, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And then Shapiro wrote like nine big hearts, blue hearts. So I was like, okay, we're drilling it in. It's a boy. New nephew. And wow.

2:51New nephew just dropped. Mazal Tov. He's so cute.

2:54Claudia Oshry:He's so cute. We're so happy for another surprise secret Kylie Jenner pregnancy. It's really so cool that she does that. I know. It's just like a mic drop, but it's a baby. Yeah. Just like the baby just like is here. I know. It's very exciting. We will get her on the Patreon to tell us her truth. whenever she's ready. So just know like if you're looking for her story, like we're going to get the exclusive on Patreon. But mom and babe are doing well and we're all just like so excited. And also like not to make it about us, but like - We get a baby. No, and like we kept the secret. Totally. And it's - You think we're a bunch of like big mouth yentas, but like we can keep a secret.

3:28I kept the secret too well to the point that every time I saw her, I forgot that she was pregnant. Yeah. Like it's like because she told no one and we just didn't talk about it. Every time I saw her, I was reminded that she was pregnant and I was excited again.

3:43Claudia Oshry:Yeah, and it's funny because like she didn't share it publicly but like in our personal life like everybody like knew and friends and this and that but like people would ask me like is she having a boy or girl? I'm like I don't know that I can say but meanwhile she was telling like she was, you know, living her life freely and telling everyone but I'm like I'm not going to be the one. Can people stop, by the way? This is very important. Can people stop putting me in a position to tell you somebody else's business? Stop asking me the gender of somebody else's baby because I'm put in a terrible spot.

4:11You know I know, but you also wouldn't be asking me if you thought that was appropriate for me to tell you. Interesting. You would be asking them.

4:18Claudia Oshry:Well, I just say... But you're circumventing. You think you're doing something sneaky. Yeah. But you're not. You're just making me feel like shit. Does that make sense? I'm sorry you're struggling with it. I just say I'm not sure if she's sharing. I forget. You can lie like that if you want to. No, no. I wasn't sure. Oh, if she's sharing. I wasn't sure if she was sharing. Oh, that's good. put it back on her. Yeah, I was like, you know what? I actually don't know if she's sharing the gender. I don't know if she's sharing. Not saying I don't know if I want to share. I'm going to steal that. I mean, it's like basic stuff.

4:52Claudia Oshry:That's really fucking good. That's really good. I don't know if she's sharing. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if she's sharing. I know I'm not, because I'm not here to get in trouble. No, no. But I don't know if she's sharing. You should ask her. I'm a vault of information. But I hope Olivia is watching today because the show is so new mama friendly. I feel like a lot of people become toasters like in their postpartum era when it's like quiet. You want a little like adult companionship. So Olivia, I hope you enjoy the show. Yolito. Yolito. Do you know Yolito? No, but she sounds wonderful. I'll tell you Yolito.

5:27Claudia Oshry:It's actually a funny story. We told it on the toast, but it's really funny. When we were playing Mahjong the other day, you were playing with us. Which, by the way. You might have actually been there for Yolito. Low key. I won a lot. Yeah, you're good. When you're not holding up the game. No, by the way, I hold up the game because I need to strategize. You guys are so fucking quick. Like, I don't even know how you plan. You actually, you're a different story. Claudia is so fast. What's my story? You like, you're a little slow, but sorry, a little fast, a little fast. Oh, okay. Claudia is very fast.

5:55You're fast, but I do think that you like strategically look. Sometimes I don't even think she looks.

6:00Claudia Oshry:Yeah. Interesting. She's so fast. No, sometimes I get to a spot, like, especially when I'm playing like certain hands where you can like keep changing hands based on what's coming and like. That's what I try to do. Yeah, but other times I'm playing a hand, I'm locked in. You know, I'm picking up all threes and threes only. And if you're locked in, then you can move fast. But if you're straddling two positions. You never lock in. Because I'm always straddling positions. Well, like sometimes you don't need to straddle. Like if you're playing the wins. You have to see my cards. I don't get wins. But anyways, we were playing Mahjong and Claudia started talking about Ruby's belly button.

6:27Claudia Oshry:And she was like, is this weird? Blah, blah, blah. And Olivia goes, Yolito. What the fuck does that mean? I wasn't there. Like YOLO? Oh, that is so Olivia. Oh, my God. Yolito. That is so Olivia. That is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Yolito. It's so Olivia. Yolito. Like, Ruby's having belly button schmutz. Yolito. Yolito. And he doesn't have schmutz. My Ruby is perfect. That's what Claudia was saying, but it was just like, Yolito. Yolito. Oh, my God. Olivia, you are truly sick. You are. She is. You are sick. She is. You are one of one. One of one. Yolito. One of one. You like that, right?

7:04All for one.

7:05Claudia Oshry:Yeah. all for one. We had some fun stuff we're in this week but we'll just leave it at that. It's just like we're just like I don't know sneaking around. Secret project after secret project. It's sneaky dude. We're so sneaky but the thing is it's like I don't I'm not sneaky for a sneaky sake. I just like you have to like work in the dark and shows up in the light you know? Oh yeah. Like Olivia. Let's all be like Olivia during pregnancy. Yeah. Let's stop announcing that we're starting something and start just dropping that shit. And just be like, ba-bam! Because every time you tell me that you're starting something, I don't believe you anymore.

7:40Because you started it, and then you never finished it, Jackie. Me? And I never saw it at the end. No, not you.

7:46Claudia Oshry:I'm like, okay. Not you. The people. The royal you. The world. Yeah. The world loves to celebrate a start. I agree. They love a party for a start. I agree. They love a podcast launch party. Oh my god, you have an issue with podcast launch parties as well? Obviously. How about you make it? Wait, whose are you thinking about? Just in general, I'm not thinking of one in particular, but I remember reading a statistic that 99 % of podcasts don't make it past the first episode. So how about you have a party like you guys do on the years. For your sixth year. That are important. We only had a party for the sixth year.

8:19Yeah. Good guys. Good guys. No party. We had a party. We had no party.

8:22Claudia Oshry:We had a party for one year because that was like a major milestone. It also wasn't really one year. It was like two years of podcasting. But no, like the fact that we got our show off the ground to a place of success. I'm saying it was breath plus toast equals new party. But when we did the toast one year party, we had been podcasting for two years, including the breath, but the toast had been a year. The breath was a year? Yeah, less. The fuck? Less than a year. You're lying. No. The breath feels like it was like a decade. The breath was less than a year. The totality of the breath. The breath is like a Disney Channel show.

8:56Do you ever look back and you're like, what? Lizzie McGuire was two seasons? Yes. Like, what are you even talking about? I watched it from 1995 to 2005.

9:05Claudia Oshry:The Breath was a Disney Channel show. It was a short run. It was less than a year. That's insane. All that drama for less than a year. You guys are really sick. Not you. You guys. The world. I'm saying you. You is the world. You guys are really fucking sick. But not you. No, not you. Not you, dear reader. Not you, dear reader. Maybe you. Not you. Only you who aren't watching. Not you. Maybe you adjacent. but not you. I agree. I understand what you're saying. Less than a year. Less than a year. So in hindsight, it's like great, not that much time wasted. It's fantastic. But at the time, it felt like our whole lives.

9:41Yeah, it felt like everything but it was less than a year and it led to just like such a triumphant return.

9:48Claudia Oshry:Oh yeah. So we had to have a party. But a return on after a year. Less than a year. What was the return? It didn't even start. I know. You technically threw a party. I do feel like they caught us off at our knees like before we really got started. and in hindsight, like, thank you. Because imagine you build this monstrosity. Oh my God, such a gift. Such a gift. Such a gift. We were able to build the monstrosity on our own terms. Hashem moves in mysterious ways. Yeah, yeah. Really mysterious, but power to be, BH. Should I make BH merch? Just a hat that says BH. You like that? You know how Modi makes Moshiach energy merch, M-E?

10:27Claudia Oshry:So what does it say? Baruch Hashem, BH. Okay. Pretty cool, right? Are you just like making rogue merch? I've made rogue merch before. You have. So I'm asking, are you doing it again? I'm not sure. I don't even know why I make rogue merch. You love to make rogue merch. Yeah, I do. I do. My keto season merch was freaking fire. Yeah, it was a moment in time. It was a moment in time. You had to be there. You really did. You really did. Supreme logos and all. But I guess if you like start saying BH on the good guys, you can make it part. Oh, so you don't listen. Yeah, we say it ever yet. No, I don't listen.

10:55Claudia Oshry:You don't listen to the toast. I do sometimes. I also come on it. You want to come on good guys? I've been on a couple times. You want to come on again? Sure. Okay, today? Today? No, Monday. Monday? I'll think about it. Okay, that's a no. No, it's not a no. I have to like look at my calendar. Your calendar's open. What time do you guys record? Where do you record? We record here. We record here, okay. Yeah, yeah. So I guess like. At one o 'clock. Oh, could you? You'd have to, we'd go to lunch. No, I'd take you to lunch. We'd have a nice time. I'd get a manicure. Get a manicure lunch. I'll think about it.

11:24When do I have to let you know by? Today. Because it's Friday for Monday.

11:29Claudia Oshry:Are you like pinched on a guest for Monday? No, I think we have. 90 % of the show is not guests. Got it. But we have the occasional guest.

Or was it Dr. Drew? I think it was Dr. Drew. You think? I don't think you had the great Maury Vovich. I think it was Maury. You had the great Maury Vovich? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. You also had Rob Gronkowski. It was over Zoom. Did you have Rob Gronkowski on The Breath? On The Breath. Yeah, that was pretty cool. Breath got cool guests. Really cool. Yeah. I mean, Breath Studio. Woof. Yeah. Breath spent every penny it made. More than the pennies it made.

Yeah, what a time to be alive. Well. Well, we'll get into the stories, but other than that, like, what's new with you? How are the good guys? How's Romeo? Good guys are great. Romeo's with my parents. Miss him dearly while we're down here. He just got a fresh-ass haircut, and everybody's talking about it. He's looking fresh to death. Everybody's talking about it.

13:48I have secured tickets to the Oklahoma City Thunder game. Should they win? I have booked a flight to Oklahoma City. Should they win?

13:56Claudia Oshry:So are we rooting for Oklahoma City at this point? I think so. But Claudia said there's more direct flights to San Antonio. There's no direct flights from Florida to San Antonio. Oh. There would be a direct flight from New York, but I'm not there. To San Antonio. They're all indirect. What about to Oklahoma City? All indirect. So there's no direct flight anywhere? No, anywhere. Well, knowing you, you'll find a ride on a plane? No, I'm in indirect flights. I booked. Oh. But I'm sure something will materialize. It's possible. You just hang out at a private airport. Something could materialize. I should do that.

14:31You should.

16:08Claudia Oshry:Yeah. So people may have forgotten that. No. I haven't. No, I don't forget. And Mr. Chalamet is my new Spike Lee. Yeah. He shows up. They're so happy to be there. Kylie's just slinging shots. She's just like drunk at all these games, having such a great time. And Ben Stiller, he's, I mean, they showed comparative pictures. He was at, the last time we were in the finals, he was there courtside. This is a lifelong Knicks fan. Yeah. Who really cares. Yeah. See, I love Timothy and Kylie. Is there like a group chat? Brunson boys. No, not with your celebrity Knicks fans, friends. You need to start one.

16:49No.

16:49Claudia Oshry:Like you. I'm OG. Timothy. These are my boys. I don't know Timmy. I don't know him. He should know me. I don't know Timmy. I feel like you could know each other. We should. Yeah. He's just like probably 30. Is he 30? Our age. He's our age. He's probably our age. Our age from Manhattan. Mm-hmm. I'm surprised Josh doesn't know him. I feel like they have parallel lives. Yeah. Like performing art school in the city. Mm-hmm. Josh is like a little bit older than Timothy, but there's no reason we don't know him. Yeah. What a great actor. Fun fact, the only movie I've seen him in is Bob Dylan. The only movie I've seen him in is Interstellar.

17:25Apparently, Dune is sick.

17:27Claudia Oshry:Not for me. I know. Do you see Interstellar? No. What's it about? Space. Cool. What is he doing at? It's like Timothy's favorite movie ever. Is he good? So yeah, he plays Matthew McConaughey's son. So he's not like the main character. It's one of his earlier works. And it's crazy that it's his favorite movie ever. he like Kylie rented out IMAX to take him to go see it. He's seen it like a hundred times and he's in it. Like it's just kind of weird. No, but it's like, I think he's just like honored to be in this great movie. That makes sense. Because the movie is like, he's a supporting character.

17:58Claudia Oshry:He's just in it. Yeah. Got it. Okay. So imagine like you wound up like being in a movie and it wound up to be like the best movie that you love so much. Yeah. Wow. Okay. All right. Yeah. I'm going to put Interstellar. It's going to be at the bottom. Have you seen Italian Job? Yes. Great movie. Claudia has to watch it. She would love it. Of course she would. But she loves like a... Kingsman. Yes, yes. She loves Kingsman. So good. I keep telling her to watch Italian Job. She also hasn't seen any of the Oceans movies. Oceans 11, have you? I have. Okay, but that's like Italian Job. It is Italian Job.

18:25It's very similar. Yeah, it is. Except with George Clooney.

18:27Claudia Oshry:It is, it is. What do you mean? Like it is, sure. She's actually seen the female-led Oceans. Have you seen Batman, The Dark Knight Rises? I think I did. That trilogy. The way that I've begged that woman. like the way that I have to fucking beg her to watch good TV while I'm over here watching the Summer House reunion. I understand why she doesn't want to watch Batman. Because I recommended it. No. If you recommended it she'd watch it. I wouldn't recommend it. I think you should. I don't think so. That way she watches it. I don't like it. No? Like I saw it it didn't like resonate with me. Literally Heath Ledger died for that movie.

19:02Claudia Oshry:And that's really sad. It was the great it's so unbelievably amazing i'm obsessed i guess with that trilogy it missed me you know i understand i understand um but we keep like you know mentioning a couple of the key topics of today's episode so i think we should get into the stories yes we should you know so we can like continue to weave in and out we're gonna talk summer house right we're gonna talk summer house that shit is nuts without further have you guys spoken summer house yet yeah since the reunion yeah but like there's a little bit more info that's come out there's new stuff there's some new stuff and we'll talk about your thoughts on the situation.

23:08Claudia Oshry:I do not use caloric sugar. I prefer a zero calorie sugar and I prefer a natural sweetener. So the Truvia Allulose Plus Stevia Sweetener and Munk Fruit Sweetener is perfection for me because it tastes so good and it's made so well. And one of the best parts about this new product is that it's actually a one-to-one swap for traditional sugar recipes. So if your recipe, if you're baking, it calls for a cup of sugar, you can use one cup of the Truvia Allulose Plus Stevia Sweetener and Monk Fruit Sweetener. Sometimes I used to have to get like math in if you're using sugar substitutes because it's not one-to-one, but this makes baking even simpler.

23:44Claudia Oshry:Whenever I bake like sweet treats or really anything, even if I think I'm not going to, like I always wind up using a sugar substitute because I'm like, I don't need all this sugar that's going to make me feel crazy calories through the roof. So this Truvia new product is amazing. It's the Truvia Allulose Plus Stevia Sweetener and Monk Fruit Sweetener. and it's just a game changer for bakers. And, you know, if you love it in your coffee, it is a natural sugar alternative and it's so fantastic. It's very chic. It's thoughtfully crafted and the blend brings together the three different sweeteners to really create great sweetness plus zero calories.

24:18Claudia Oshry:Best part. It's easy to use in baking. I use it in my coffee. I use it in smoothies and it's just fantastic and makes all sugar uses even easier. So check out the new Truvia Allulose Plus Debbia Sweetener and Monk Fruit Sweetener that is coming to stores and online beginning this June. Our first story, Love Island USA, sets their season eight cast. So yesterday they dropped a video of the season eight cast of Love Island, including the brother of season seven Islander, Charlie. Oh, wow. Charlie's brother. Amazing. Is on Love Island and his name. Charlie. Is Zach. Wow. So we have a running joke here at the Toast about this podcast spinoff that I want to do.

25:05Claudia Oshry:Claudia is doing it with me, but like she's not as passionate about it as I am. Sure, sure, sure. And it's called Namesake. And we only interview people who have like the same names as our children or members. We've expanded it to all members of our family so we could have on more guests. Got it. So it's an eight episode podcast. No, no. You'd be surprised. And it's like. Oh, oh, oh. I understand. Yeah. So like if you have. You can only interview Zach's. We can. No, if you have the same name as someone in our family, you can come on Namesake. But if you don't, like Kylie can't come on Namesake.

25:32That's kind of cool.

25:32Claudia Oshry:It is kind of cool. Like if we wanted to do a Summer House interview with someone, it would have to be Levi. That is so funny. Isn't that so funny? And like it's just like fresh, you know? It's like we don't get to choose who we talk to. It's fresh. In the Summer House cast. It's fresh. It's so fresh. So like anytime we're talking, Charlie Puth was actually like the originator. You should have him on Good Guys. He's so GG. Yeah, he is so GG. We should get him. And he's cool. Yeah. Big Charlie guy. Well, so Charlie Puth would come on Namesake. Of course. If we're doing a Love Island recap. King Charles could come on Namesake.

26:07King Charles. Yes, yes.

26:08Claudia Oshry:Michaela Naguero, the influencer. Ah, yes, yes. It's just like, it's fun and fresh. It could. And so many Zacks. So many Zacks. So many Benz. Are there so many Benz? Well, not Ben Platt. Yeah. We wouldn't be having Ben Platt. No. No, it's unfortunate. We could have. Because I kind of went to summer camp with him. It's unfortunate. Oh, you did? Do you know that? I don't know. We went to Israel together. Yeah. Were you friends? No. No. And it's funny. It's actually not funny. He went to Israel? Wow. Don't tell his friends. He went to Israel. Was he happy? Yeah. He had a great summer. He had a great, great summer.

26:41We saw him at, or maybe we watched his stand-up at Radio City or something. His concert. And he tells a story about a kid named Ben outing him as gay on that trip. We were not friends. It wasn't me. And I didn't know.

26:57Claudia Oshry:Was there another Ben? A third Ben? I know another Ben. I know another Ben that was on that fucking trip. A third Ben. And it was probably that Ben. Okay. I know another Ben. Wow. Yeah, so that Ben, that was not me. That's really crazy. That was not me. So anyways. Yeah, he went to Israel. He went to Israel and loved it. and he secretly loves Israel and supports it. Probably. For sure. I mean, his brother does. He's just trying to be cool. You know his brother? Of course I know his brother. Who's fucking obsessed with Israel? Of course I know his brother. Claudia and I can't comprehend how those two are brothers and how they ever get together as a family, which they do.

27:31Yeah, by the way, one is beholden. If we want to get into this conversation.

27:35Claudia Oshry:I would love to talk about the Platt family dynamics. One is beholden to Hollywood and Hollywood standards and thinks that. But he's not even because his dad is Mark Platt. It doesn't. There's a difference. Like Josh is so brave in my opinion for his constant – and it's also just – it's what you should do. But his constant unwavering support for Israel when everybody else in Hollywood seems to be getting a memo that if you want big work, if you want big opportunities and projects, you need to be on the other side of this issue. And so it doesn't matter who his dad is. It doesn't matter who his brother is.

28:12I think that he has chosen his career over something that at one point was very important to him or his circle has become people that are feeding him different things that you don't because

28:23Claudia Oshry:what you think like he goes home and he like looks at pictures from his Israel trip and like I don't know is that he loves Israel I don't know I I just I just know that he has to do this he he grew up a staunch Zionist yeah that's a fact yeah like in a Zionist community Zionist sleepaway camp. Yeah, Perrin's brother, his whole family. I'm saying like, I went to an adjacent Ramah camp. Ramah is literally the most Zionist place in the world. Yeah. Like it is No, of course. I think a lot of people who are like, you know, and by the way, amazing. They grew up like Zionist and they're like, I grew up like this and it's the worst.

29:01Yeah, like maybe your new circle's the worst. How about you make some better friends?

29:05Claudia Oshry:Maybe your new circle's the worst. How about you make some better friends? Yeah. Some like-minded friends. Yeah. He won't sell you down the river. Totally. To the sea. That's that. Wow. Oh, my. Claudia's going to hate this episode. No, she loves talking trash about Ben Pauly. Oh, she does? Okay. It's our favorite thing. I loved him, too. I know. By the way, and Claudia loved him. I know. Well, we always talk about how much we actually hate him. But then it's like, but he's so talented. Oh, we love him. You can't deny his talent. No. It's frustrating. No. And I think we saw Dear Evan Hansen like five times.

29:43Claudia Oshry:Claudia was obsessed with that show, that soundtrack, him. And by the way, so was I. On the outside, always looking in. Will I ever be more than I've always been? Because I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass. Waving through a window. Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me? Oh, is anybody waving? Waving, waving. Oh, oh, waving from Gaza into Israel. That's where they're waving. Okay, first story. What do we got? So I had to just let you know about namesake because it's critical. I love it. Okay. And I think it's a great idea. And one day when my time frees up, it's going to be my next passion launch.

30:38You got it. I'll support it. I'll come on.

30:40Claudia Oshry:So, and you know, Charlie, we love Charlie from Love Island season seven. Oh, that's right. We love Charlie. He would come on Namesake. But now his brother named Zach is on Love Island this season. Who could also come on Namesake. Who could also come on Namesake. Understood. So Love Island. A bunch of other people who can't come on Namesake, except for Bryce. There's a Bryce. There is? Yeah. Oh my God, that's so funny. Yes. Oh, so nicknames can also come on. Like, yeah, we can make it work if we need to, you know? And also we can go to - So if we find somebody named Streis, he can come on. Oh, can Barbra Streisand come on?

31:08Claudia Oshry:Barbra Streisand could come on. She could. There's someone on this season named Sincere, but he couldn't come on, unfortunately. His name is Sincere? His name is Sincere. That is - But it's like, we could have Jesse - That's very interesting. We could have Jesse Solomon on. Sure. Because we have like an aunt named Jesse. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. If we really want, you know, but also let's start with - You really want to stretch. You can go in the family tree. The namesake doesn't make sense anymore. Let's start with the nuclear, you know? And then if it gets so big and we need more guests, like we can open it up to like cousins.

31:37You start with immediate. You start with immediate.

31:39Claudia Oshry:We start with immediate, exactly. Okay, I like that. I was going to ask you something. We started watching Love Island, while you think about that. The only season I ever watched was this past season while Claude was breastfeeding, and that was our breastfeeding show. Right. We would watch it at three in the morning, five in the morning, like 30 minutes as she would feed, and I got really into it. Yeah. I thought it was great TV and apparently it was not even like a good season by comparison. No, you and Claudia definitely had a really positive experience with the show and were in a very warm and loving time in your lives.

32:14Claudia Oshry:Yes. And so you'll always have love for it, you know, but objectively it was not a great season. It was very frustrating and for those of us who had to watch it as an obligation, it was not always fun but I'm looking forward to a new season hoping that this is a good one. There's also a bronze medal winning Paralympic athlete who is part of the cast. The Paralympics are so cool. I don't know if you ever watch it, but not only is it so impressive, it takes so much dedication, and they are so unbelievable at their sport. Yeah. Yeah. That's all. No, it's amazing. So we'll be seeing Beatriz on this season, and it premieres on June 2nd.

32:55Claudia Oshry:Amazing. So very soon. Okay. Any minute now. All right. I will be tuning in. I will be tuning in. That's Sunday night. Oh, no. Tuesday. What I wanted to ask you is a word on the street is that you've struck up a friendship with Jesse Solomon. No, we haven't. Oh. I'm open. He seems like a great guy. He seems like he's struggling and that he needs family. By the way, I'm open. Jesse, you want to be friends? Oh, I thought you guys were friends. I'm happy to be friends. No, we're not friends. I could see you guys being friends. We follow each other on Instagram. I could see you being friends. Yeah, he reminds me of my current friends.

33:25Claudia Oshry:And then Schaffer says, we are not friends. No, no, no. I would love to be his friend. Yeah. I'm open for friendship. I feel like he needs good people around him right now. Don't you feel like he's struggling? Yeah. And by the way, as would Claudia, we would make amazing duets on these songs, Jackie. Oh, yeah. Just saying. It could be like a Von Trapp family, me, Claudia, and Jessie. What do you think? What about me? You want in? I'm okay. Yeah, so. I want to be invited. Yeah. Well, you're invited. Yeah. You could be there. You could be there. But yeah, no. Jessie and I are, we've never met. Yeah.

33:56Claudia Oshry:I feel like you need to go to dinner. Okay. Jesse, let me know. I think that the people around him listen to the toast. Yeah. Yeah, let me know if you'd like to go to dinner. He's been circling the orbit recently, and I feel like he needs to be brought into the fold. It feels like so. He's breaking my heart. Not to jump. As a mother, you know? I see him like a son. I understand. I see him as a son, too. Do you? No. I see him as maybe a friend. I don't see him as a son. Right. but uh not to jump to summer house but oh yeah well our next story is summer house so jump away I just I hate reality tv for the people involved when they don't know what they're getting themselves into I have to assume that Kyle and Amanda went into it eyes wide open or I hope that they did but the amount of the amount of divorces that come out of reality tv it just makes you hate your spouse.

34:49Like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, they were all married and they are all divorced, all of them. And that's not a coincidence. Like you can say, oh, it's a 50 % divorce rate. Like, no, like you end up doing things for fame that don't align with family values. And it's just, it's so sad to me like watching. And by the way, I, I have many a reason to not like Kyle Cook. Many a reason.

35:14Claudia Oshry:Right. Oh, right. Many a reason. It doesn't mean that I I don't feel bad for him and her. But I do know personally that he's a bad guy. Interesting. More than we know? No, he was super shady towards me. Yeah, that was a really bad. And I'm a really nice guy. No, it's so true. And I feel like at the time, I mean, of course the toasters rode for us, but I feel like on the show and even at the reunion, then they really dug into the whole Craig thing and how it was all shady. And it really bothered me watching the reunion. I really didn't like how they talked about the whole interaction because when you think about it, It's like Craig, who is his girlfriend's girlfriend's boyfriend is Kyle.

35:53Claudia Oshry:Yeah. And he can't do a partnership with like a different brand. Like that's really crazy. Without it being like shady and he's a liar. And Craig is so nice. Yeah. Craig literally flew in to my son's bris. Yeah. He's the nicest guy ever. Like I've never had a bad interaction with him. He's so nice. And I can speak for myself knowing that I, too, am the opposite of Shady. I'm an open book. I am a I'll do things for you knowing that they will come back around eventually. So this idea, this narrative that he spun, that we were out to get him, that we stole information, that, by the way, like the partnership with Craig, like it was a great one.

36:36It's not even like the core of Spritz Society. Like Spritz Society is this. Yeah. Spritz Society is not. Skinny Spritz. Skinny Spritz. Like it's it's just it's so so that like I'm positive that Kyle is not a good guy.

36:50Claudia Oshry:I'm positive. Yeah. No, I actually was starting to forget. I also in all of this now see that maybe Amanda is not great either. But I'm also not going to victim blame. Like I don't know if people have really spoken. I think that Amanda is the victim of both West and Kyle. Oh, wow. I think that West seems to just, and I know guys like this, he seems to love bomb people. And girls have a difficult time sometimes, like understanding that he's love bombing, but he doesn't want anything to do with you formally. I know guys like that in my life. And I look at them with disgust because time after time, if the girl is leaving crying and you pretend that you don't know what you did, it means that you need to change the way that you interact with people.

37:49So I think that he love bombed her at a time where she was very unhappy in a marriage. And I don't justify her actions. The statement, my God, get better PR. Like, what are you doing? Like that was crazy. But to all of a sudden say that it's her when we've watched Kyle be just like a bad dude for a really long time, a guy that just doesn't want to fucking grow up.

38:16Claudia Oshry:Yeah. A 44-year-old DJ, like a bad beverage entrepreneur, like bad for business. Yeah. Like again with my interaction. and knowing that West has done this to many a girl. I don't know how you just blame Amanda. No, you don't just, I don't just blame her, but it's not even that she embarked on another relationship with someone who like was love bombing her. And it's like that she would do that to her friend. Like, cause she did have, like Sierra was also there for her. And every moment that West was giving her attention and like trying to be there for her, like so was Sierra. So that you would like throw away a friendship like that because like i don't know i agree with you on that for sure yeah that that dynamic makes amanda guilty but in the eyes of kyle and in the eyes of west if it had been jesse solomon say yeah if it had been like someone else in the house who's friends with kyle and that person was there for her like yeah it would not be this conversation you're right it's the betrayal of the friendship when like amanda has made her like brand and her whole place on the show about like Like, girl's girl, you know, bed bugs were together, fuck men, you know.

39:28Claudia Oshry:Totally. And it's like, it took you two seconds. Yeah, totally. And also, she was so the hero of this story up until Wes Mandeval that it's like you could have dated anyone on the planet. Anyone except for one person. So it makes you think that I don't know. That they're in love. No, I don't know what his game is. I don't know how he does this, but I know guys that do this. and it's almost like they have a spell on girls and they love bomb the shit out of them and then they leave them out to dry. And it's a really terrible quality in a guy. There are only two, I guess maybe three, cast members that I watch in that reunion and I'm like, oh, you are really, really, like you seem like a really good person.

40:06I guess four.

40:07Claudia Oshry:Okay. KJ for sure. Jesse, Solomon for sure. Even though what he did to Lexi. Who did to Lexi? Lexi and Lexi. Yeah, for sure. Lexi was on for the wrong reasons. Jessie for sure. Okay. No, they're all on for the right reasons. I love Carl. I love Carl and his now ex-wife. I love her too. I love her too. They're hilarious. They've had like a real arc. I feel like you should say like, not that there are four good people on the cast, but like four people you like. Four honest people. Honest. Oh, wait, no. By the way, go through the cast because I'm also thinking, I'm forgetting people. Bailey? Yeah, she seems, she's great.

40:45Sure.

40:46Claudia Oshry:Levi. Levi, there's a Levi? Sure, Levi. Okay. Levi. Did I watch this season? The girl who's friends with Bailey. Yeah, Levi's cool. Monet, is that her name? Monet. With an M. Mia. Mia. Yeah. Love. She should be at the top of this. And Ciara. Sorry. She's also great. So like what? Okay. Okay. There's actually like three people that I don't like. Okay. Wes, Kyle, Amanda. I don't like Wes. I don't like Kyle. Amanda. You like Amanda. I don't know. He likes Amanda. I just feel weird about it all. I feel weird about it. She was tormented by Kyle. She was tormented. For the duration of their marriage.

41:26Claudia Oshry:Yeah. It would seem. From afar. Yeah. Though now that we're getting to know a bit more of what she's capable on her personality, I would say it was a mutual torment. Yeah, but just like watching him constantly get drunk and lash out at people. Yeah. That's bad. If you're willing to do that in front of a camera, imagine what you're willing to do not in front of a camera. I know people say that, but I actually think he's this. I don't think it gets worse. I think that's him. You know, like you like Kyle. No, you might. I said, I sense, I sense. I don't. I don't. It definitely don't. I could never even be friends with a person like that, let alone be in a relationship with them.

41:59Claudia Oshry:Like it's my least favorite kind of person. Yeah. Like drunk, annoying, won't grow up, immature, like everything about it I hate. Yeah.

42:13Claudia Oshry:but he never was not that person for even one minute that when she from the moment she entered the relationship to when she said yes to a proposal to when she got married to him like she was always marrying the same person so like yes on year 10 he's the same person that he was at year one I guess it's frustrating when people like don't grow but yeah what made you ever think that he was going to yeah I want to say one more thing on the Kyle drama even though like I'm making this drama about myself. But I just. No, I think people want to hear your opinion. But I feel like this is interesting. Do you guys talk about stuff like this on the GEEJ?

42:41No, never.

42:42Claudia Oshry:Oh, okay. So yeah, people want to hear from you. No, we talk about complete and utter nonsense. We just like laugh and we rarely talk about anything serious. Okay. Which is really fun.

42:52I had texted Kyle and it went unread. I had texted Kyle.

42:57Claudia Oshry:Unread? Yeah. He never read it. It had left unanswered. Okay. That's very different. Yeah. Unanswered. I had texted Kyle. before any of this came out this was after our dinner me him and one of my partners jake went to a dinner you know the story right a little bit but like not really okay whatever we went to dinner the three of us and that's like the dinner where he said that we stole his trade secrets we both opened up about how hard beverages all of the trials and tribulations of trying to grow a small business. We then split the bill. He claimed that he paid for dinner and that we, or sorry, that we paid for, I forget what that part was.

43:37It's not important. Not important. Okay. Not important. We left that dinner. I was like, oh, I really like Kyle. I had first met him at a beverage conference. I thought he was a really nice guy, hardworking, whatever. And so I had texted him. I was like, you know, why don't we get the toasters, the spritzers, the summer house and Loverboy fans together and throw some parties. Loverboy and Spritz Society side by side because I think they're completely different brands with different adjacent audiences. Let's do it. Never responded, which is so...

44:07Claudia Oshry:So that was what your text said. Yeah. Okay. Working together. Yeah. Not at all trying... The opposite. Harmony. Harmony. And he went on that show, like, shat on Craig, shat on me, said that I was a shady business person stealing his ideas. You wish, like... Totally. But stealing what? What did I steal? Yeah. It's crazy. That's crazy. I just needed to share that. Well, I'm glad we don't have to do those parties. Totally. By the way, those would have been for him. Knowing what I know now, those would have been for fucking him. Yeah. Bringing our audience to Loverboy? You wish. No. You wish. And what I said, it's like they try to make Spritz out to be like seedy, whatever.

44:44Claudia Oshry:Like we're like a family-owned brand, like a family-friendly brand. Like we're just all about like love. Like, meanwhile, that's the most toxic negative brand I've ever heard of who destroyed his relationship, his personal finances, his friendships, Hannah Burner, Craig, everyone. You're this brand that's just like this toxic entity. When we're over here, like, hey, come join us. The more the merrier. It's literally the polar opposite. It's he's how can I hold on to as much equity as possible until I hit zero and be the king of my nothing? And we are literally not optimizing for dilution ever.

45:15You want to come and be a part of what we're building. we are trying to build together.

45:19Claudia Oshry:Yeah. Like we have like 130 investors. Yeah. Literally. If you want to invest, you come to us. We work with friends. We work with Shannon. We work with like everyone. It's just like a lovely positive place where we're like bringing people and we want everyone to be lifted up. Whereas like Loverboy has been nothing but be like this toxic force in the house. And so how you can paint us as the brand that's like shady and lies and negative. It's like, no, we're having a ball. No, it comes from a fucking liar. Yeah. It comes from a liar, which is going full circle. Why it's very, very hard for me to be Team Kyle, screw Amanda.

45:55Like, no. Like, Amanda had to deal with that for so long. And that's still true. And Wes is a love bomber. Yeah. And so I just think that she made a really bad choice.

46:05Claudia Oshry:But she continues to make the choice. Yeah, because she's been bombed. We'll see if, like, I think that a love bomber, I guess, do they eventually settle down with someone? it doesn't feel like it's going to be her unfortunately. I feel like it has to be otherwise like you know just if he has any sort of like personal responsibility like because if he leaves her and she has nothing and she has like mental health issues like it's just a disaster. So I think if he's any shred of like a human being that he will stay by her side. I think he's sort of like spun this web that he can't get out of. Yeah.

46:40Claudia Oshry:I don't think he's having fun though. Yeah love bombers. Gonna bomb. Wow, you love the term love-bottoming. It's the accurate term. Interesting. Okay, well, thank you for your take. Oh, well, the Summer House news for today was that Summer House stars KJ and Dara have apparently broken up after a couple things on social media have surfaced. They have unfollowed each other. Why, do you know who I'm talking about? I don't know who she is. So she was the girl who, like, came on a couple. She stayed up by the house a little bit. I think she was, like, meant to be a cast member. I don't know who that is.

47:12Claudia Oshry:She started dating KJ. She was, like, on the season. And she'll probably be on the reunion at some point. I don't know when they broke up, if at the reunion they were together or not. But they started dating like this summer. Yeah. You must have missed that. Totally missed it. All I know is I'm a big fan of his. I think he's super cool. And I certainly wish him well in his mental health journey. Yeah. But he seems like a great guy. Yeah. And really nice. I like a guy that goes on a show looking to make friends. Yeah. Not a guy going on a show that's looking to be like a hard O and have people come to them.

47:44Oh, my God.

47:45Claudia Oshry:I just realized. He's the opposite. We could have Ben on namesake, unfortunately. You can. Australian Ben. Yeah. He seems like a bad guy. He seems like the worst. And Bailey, like, really clocked him. I didn't even notice all those things. Yeah. She clocked him and she. She sort of ended him. She seemed right for all of that. Yeah. No, she sort of ended him. Like, I'm done. Yeah. He seems like a little mean to women. Yeah. Yeah. Which is a really bad. If people are going to say anything about you, you don't want them saying that. All season he was like boring, like brought nothing really like – I was just like not really interested in him, but like nothing bad.

48:20Claudia Oshry:And then it's like – and now it sounds like you're the worst. Well, now we don't want anything to do with you. Correct. Because like boring is not a crime, but like there's nothing redeeming. You know, there was nothing like, oh, well, he had a great season. Okay, so he can be mean. You know, happy. It was a little weird. Like why was Amanda skinny dipping with him? Yeah. Well, they were like, they were, Kyle was there too. Oh, he was? Yes. Oh, so do they, do you think that they have like a freaky deaky? No, I feel like they were just like after hours and wedding in Europe and it's like, let's go in the ocean.

48:53Claudia Oshry:So, you know, I think it was just spur of the moment. Okay. That makes sense. I don't think it was freaky deaky. I think they wish like things were a little more interesting. I understand. You know? Okay. I think it was just like Yolito, honestly. Yolito. It was giving. It was giving Yolito. Yes. Yolito. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Well, Yolito. So KJ and I have split up. I'd like to hear more. Me too. You know, I want to know what happened there, especially because Levi was like alluding to the fact that like she thinks like Dara is nefarious. I'd love to know more and I'd love to learn about who this woman is.

49:23Claudia Oshry:Okay. I actually don't think you would, but okay. Okay. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Reddit. I used to think Reddit was just for, you know, troubleshooting your sourdough starter. But now I go on there for everything. I'll go check out reviews before buying a new product. And suddenly I'm deep in a thread about, you know, baby sleep training techniques. There are moments when I'm not even looking for advice. I just want to know that I'm not the only person feeling a certain way. That moment where you think surely someone else has dealt with this. And almost every time Reddit proves that yes, they have.

49:55Claudia Oshry:You are not alone. Not just one person, but thousands of people all talking honestly about how they handled it, what they learned and what they would do differently. Also, Reddit is so much fun. And if you're like hooked on a TV show like Traitors, you know, getting to hear theories, mind games, alliances, betrayals, it's reality TV at its sharpest. And I've loved diving into Reddit to connect with other fans, swapping theories and reactions in real time as the drama unfolds. So Reddit can fit into my day or your day, however you need it to. Sometimes it's for researching a product, sometimes for advice, and sometimes just for entertainment.

50:25Claudia Oshry:What makes it different is the authenticity. No influencers, no one trying to sell something, just real people sharing real experiences.

54:09Claudia Oshry:Like maybe some pigtails. Definitely this will hold up those pigtails. Check out the got to be wax stick. Our next story, Tristan Thompson went on Khloe Kardashian's podcast and said that he got a vasectomy after Khloe's ultimatum, that he cannot have any more kids unless it's coming from Khloe's embryos. Wow. Okay. So Tristan went on Khloe in Wonderland. Apparently it's a great episode and he comes off pretty favorably. is just like a nice guy who's like trying his best and a good dad. Isn't he a nice guy? I think so, but he's a fucking idiot. Yeah, but so what happened? He cheated on her? Multiple times.

54:42Once when she was like 10 months pregnant.

54:46Claudia Oshry:That's really bad. I think she was like nine plus, and it literally put her into labor of distress of it. It was such a big story, and he cheated on her. Then he smooched at Jordan Woods, the best friend of his girlfriend's little sister. That's crazy. Yeah, I forgot about that. That's bad. And then. Also bad on Jordan Woods. Of course, of course. But him too. And he's older than her. But we've forgiven her and now she's a Nick Swag. Oh, yeah. So you love her. Big time Nick Swag. So you love her. Maybe she's the lucky charm. Could be. And then when Chloe was trying to have a second child with him via surrogate.

55:26Claudia Oshry:And I don't know when the surrogate process had started and when they wanted it to start or whatever. But it turned out it came to light that he had fathered a child that was like, I don't know, maybe almost one years old, like that he was hiding. He was like fighting this woman in court, but like it was his child and he was hiding it from Chloe while also trying to like make a baby with Chloe. Like really, really bad stuff. And I think there was like a lot of other cheating sprinkled. Like he's a cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater. Yeah. Yeah. Can't stop cheating. Yeah, that's tough, man. That's that's tough, Mr.

55:58Tristan. Mr. Thompson. But I can't I can't I can't defend.

56:01Claudia Oshry:No, so that's just what you need to know. And he's Tristan third trimester Thompson, as they call him. Oh, wow. Because of him cheating on her in the third trimester. He's really gotten his punishment, I feel. He's hated thoroughly. Okay. But he's true and Tatum's dad. Chloe keeps him around. They always do. But she is so forgiving. They all are, it would seem. Yeah. I don't know. She's the most. it's so interesting it's such a why why are they so forgiving are they more afraid of what would happen if they weren't there or are they just a familial so I think it's just like family and like and it's father of children when it's the father of a child like I don't think those same rules apply for people who like Tyga what about Tyga what about Tyga what about him There's no child involved.

57:01There's no child involved. No. Not over here. Oh, okay. Okay, so then that... He's out. So it directly has to do with if there is a grandchild...

57:11Claudia Oshry:Yes. ...Kardashian. But I would also say the rules also applied to Lamar. But he was a husband and he was, like, obviously suffering. But they have, up until a point, they really, like, have been there for him so much. I think Khloe also just must be an amazing person. Yes, she's an amazing person. She must just be an amazing person. And I think most of us, including myself, could not relate to being that patient and forgiving. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot about that documentary. But it's not like Pete's. Did you watch that documentary? No, but then she's pissed about it. She wishes she never did it. Because she's on there bearing her soul and he's on there talking shit about her.

57:48I was going to say, it was great for her because it gave me a window into how unbelievable a person she is. how she would give her last anything for somebody who treated her like ass and to save that person. But he felt like he had zero remorse and made a joke at the end that he was going to go to Vegas. That's how he closed the documentary,

58:13Claudia Oshry:which was literally the whorehouse that he lived in and almost died in Vegas. And he made a joke that they left in the documentary as he's leaving, that he's going to go to Vegas. But even after he almost died, he was using again. even when she got him into like... There's no crime to being a drug addict. He's a drug addict. That's not his crime in my opinion. His crime is the just like cheating and whorehouse and I would assume that the using has a direct effect on that but like that's not in my opinion what he's guilty of. But like when Chloe has nursed him back to life from the brink of death.

58:54Totally.

58:54Claudia Oshry:I think she even It's a horrible disease She got a staph infection From living in the hospital And got so sick Then so she Brings him back to life Learns to talk Learns to walk Learns to write Learns to think Learns to speak I know She's with him in the hospital The whole time Rehabilitating him Gets him a house Where she's out Yes And she comes into the house And he's using I know It's a horrible disease And he clearly needed More rehab He needs to live at rehab I don't know anything about that But I just know that it's a horrible disease and they're not together and you can't be with somebody like that.

59:31Claudia Oshry:But it's a tough situation. Well, so back to Tristan. Chloe asked him, do you want to have more kids in the future? And Tristan said, I think I signed off for two embryos. So, I mean, if I do have more kids, it'd be coming from you. I already have enough baby moms. Don't want no more. And then Chloe said, and who helped you fix that decision? That was me. Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me. He said, what, getting neutered? Sometimes you got to lay them nuts on the table. That's funny. He implied that he was a little against it initially. He said, I've been a little hardheaded at times.

1:00:06Claudia Oshry:I wish I wasn't as stubborn. However, he came around to the idea saying sometimes you have to get forced into the right decision. Wow. So even though he's had a vasectomy, more kids aren't off the table from him. He said that he legally signed over the rights to his embryos with Chloe. she said you signed them over to me anyway so I legally own them he said no more kids unless it's coming from Chloe's embryos wow that's big so does she not plan on meeting somebody and getting married oh she could no I know it's just like I guess it's her right to choose if she wants more kids with Tristan she doesn't have to fornicate with him she doesn't have to get his approval And what if, I guess, like, we'll see what happens.

1:00:54What if she meets the love of her life? They get married. Want to have children. Is Tristan then allowed to meet the love of his life and have children? Then.

1:01:04Claudia Oshry:Oh. I guess. I'm sure Chloe would be open to that. She would be open to that then. But if he really was having, like, kids with just, like, one person and not just, like, everyone. Not just anybody. Not just, like, everyone. Yeah. So I'm sure that would be like a beautiful problem to have down the road where like Chloe is moved on and with someone else and started and like really. Do you think that girls, like are they trapping him? Like they're like, oh, I'm ovulating. I'm going to go and try. No, not even poking a hole. It's not the hole. I think about this all the time. Yeah. It's hard to get pregnant.

1:01:38Claudia Oshry:Yeah. Very. You have a very finite period of time. 36 hours. Very finite period of time to get pregnant. So unless you're just so lucky that on the single day of the month, two days of the month, you happen to be having sex. With Tristan Thompson. With Tristan Thompson. Otherwise, it does kind of sound – bless you. It does kind of seem like – and I guess I would trap an NBA player. That's a really great way to make some quick cash, trap an NBA player. You think, but I feel like it doesn't always work out the way you want. They get something. They get something. And then they have a really good chance of that baby becoming an NBA player too.

1:02:20Claudia Oshry:So it's an investment in the future. It's an investment in the future. So you would get pregnant by an NBA player. In a different world, in a different lifetime, I might trap an NBA player. You would? You'd think about it? I feel like I would have huge tits. Do you feel that? If you were a woman. If I was a woman? Yes. And I was looking to trap an NBA player, I think I would have huge tits. And I would use them. Like I would like keep my tits out. You would wield them? I would wield them. I would wield them to fornicate with an NBA player. Okay. And that's how you wanted to go. That's how you would use your feminine power.

1:02:49Yeah. And then I'd be a power milker. And I would first use them to trap. Then I would use them to milk. To baby Brunson. Yeah, to baby Brunson. And that would be my power.

1:03:01Claudia Oshry:And then what if like the NBA player like wanted nothing to do with you and was paying like minimum child support? Great. Then I go and meet the love of my life. and I have the love of my life's children as well with my big tits. This sounds like one of those AI movies.

1:03:21Called Me and My Big Tits.

1:03:23Claudia Oshry:You know, like this down on her luck big titted woman gets pregnant by an NBA player. He leaves her on the side of the road. You would watch it on TikTok. I would watch it on Reels. Episodically. Yes, I would. I might click for part two.

1:03:39Oh, that's funny.

1:03:41Claudia Oshry:But no, I think that after everything he's put her through, I think this is fair. I think it's actually very lovely that he's given her the opportunity for more children if that's what she wants. And she doesn't have to wait to meet someone and, you know, they would be genetic siblings with her children. And like if she wants more kids, like it's up to her. Yes. I think that's like a very probably freeing for her to know. It's lovely. It's really nice. She's still a little bit too nice. Yeah. But this clearly is what she wanted. So if it's what she wants. I kind of want to listen to it. The episode of Tristan.

1:04:13I don't think I realized that she had. Oh, no. I did know that she had.

1:04:16Claudia Oshry:Chloe in Wonderland on Dear Media. Dear Media. Yeah. Our sister. Yeah. She's a great show. Great show. It really is. Yeah. I have to listen more. Great show. Speaking of another great podcast, Scooter Braun went on the Free Press's Second Thought podcast with Susie Weiss. Did you see? I saw clips. I saw clips. I haven't watched it and I should It's another one that I want to watch I love them both I love Suzy I love her new podcast I think she's having great conversations And she's talking to Scooter I would say Second Thought is a little bit swirly Because Suzy's a little swirly Because he's done Diary of a CEO Type podcast Business oriented But he's talking about the things That people want to know and the thing mostly Which is Taylor Swift so oh I saw that clip yeah like I do not know her at all yeah that was what he said was I think I don't think he wanted to get into it too deep but he was like I feel like people have this idea that like we are like bitter enemy we were bitter enemies when I bought the rights to her music and he said I don't I actually didn't know her I had met her like three times once at a party our conversation was like totally lovely and then and I obviously like respect and admired her you don't spend that much money on someone's catalog without like hoping to work with them and wanting to work with them and so all of what happened next was really like a shock to him considering like they didn't really have a personal relationship and I think he wanted people to know like there wasn't like some bitter drama that had unfolded before yeah yeah all that I can say is uh I know Scooter Scooter is great Scooter is a uh Jewish loves basketball oh yeah he's a famous Knicks fan Loves the Knicks.

1:05:58Claudia Oshry:He could be in your chat. And his accomplishments are just like a laundry list. Such an amazing person in music and businessman. And I don't know. I don't know Taylor Swift. I think that it's just the hard part. Are you team Scooter? I think that I'm team business. I'm team. This is the way that you can't blame him for the way that the music industry operates. If you can buy somebody's catalog, he didn't invent that idea. Yeah, yeah. He's a bidder. Like, I don't know the entire story. Bidder with a D. Yeah, with a D. He's a bidder. Like, he's able to bid on a catalog. And I don't know the ins and outs of it whatsoever.

1:06:40But I just know that the way that the music industry works is that these things are for sale all the time. Yeah. People sell them. I don't know the who, what, why, where they're sold and how that ends up happening. But didn't Justin Bieber just sell his music for$200 million? Yeah. Justin Timberlake sold his music. And I'm sorry that she –

1:06:57Claudia Oshry:Doesn't Michael Jackson on the Beatles or something? Yeah, and I'm sorry that she didn't have the ability to say yes or no in regards to her music. But that's not his problem. That's the seller's problem. Yeah, stop resheta. She should take issue with the seller, not the buyer. What did the buyer do? They took a deal from a seller, a legitimate real seller. So I think that all of this is just – Yeah, he was also – It's old news, but – He was talking about like just masters in general and like what they are. I think like some people, myself, I don't really like get it. How there's like master rights and like publishers rights.

1:07:31Claudia Oshry:And like when you're a singer, you get your publishing rights. But like the label gets your master's rights. And those are really valuable for the label. And now there's like this conversation around like the contracts that artists sign. Sure, read them. Yeah. And he said like it might start to change where like labels don't own masters. And he's curious like how that will affect the music industry. because then, you know, if they're not making money from artists, they're not going to take a gamble on as many artists as they do. Like, you know, probably 10 % of the artists at a label pay for 90 % of all of the artists.

1:08:03Claudia Oshry:You know what I mean? So, like, I don't know. It will be interesting to see how it changes, if it changes. I mean, the music industry fundamentally changed with TikTok. Like, you have so much talent, so easily on display, so many views being generated without, like, not to use a Jesse Solomon I don't know who he's signed to he's getting a ton of views whether you like his music or not he's able to generate views because that's the time that we live in previously the only way that you got somebody to listen to your song was you signed with a label who had the relationships with a radio station the radio station put you on and then you toured now you don't need any of that yeah it should change yeah I think things can change but again that doesn't change like that read contracts yeah and by the way now what will also change You can literally fucking throw it.

1:08:50And you should all be doing this. Throw a contract into chat GPT and say, tell me the nuts and bolts of this and what to look out for. You don't even have to read them.

1:08:58Claudia Oshry:Yeah. You can't afford a lawyer. You don't have to. Put your contract in chat. If you're a small unknown artist, you're kind of powerless to negotiate a contract with. If this is like our boilerplate contract here at Sony. Sure. If you want to sign with Sony. Yeah. This is the contract. And by the way, great. You made a decision. Yeah. You wanted Sony. Yeah. And like, so Sony should get nothing. But you wanted Sony. It's a charity. You obviously wanted Sony because you felt that Sony would give you a leg up in your career. But then when you got the leg up in your career, fuck Sony. Yeah. That's not very nice either.

1:09:27Yeah. Yeah.

1:09:28Claudia Oshry:No, it's a give and take. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. No, another one that I want to listen to. I would love to listen to that. Yeah. That's probably good. Yeah. Totally. Susie doing big things. Yeah. What kind of music, new music are you liking these days? Any new artists? New music. No. Papa Roach. I don't want to hear about it. I was going to say, I just listened to, let me tell you. I don't know if you know about this little station on Sirius XM called Pop 2K, but I love Pop 2K. Channel 7, I think, is like all punk and also Pop 2K, so it's like 90s and 2000s. I listen exclusively to 90s and 2000s music.

1:10:10I also listen to James Taylor.

1:10:12Claudia Oshry:There are no new artists that you're liking? Sure. Luke Combs, like, is cool. MGK? Wouldn't you love him? If it crosses my desk. Halsey? I don't seek any of this out. Like, if it comes to me, it comes to me. It's very rare. Like, once every two years, I'll get a new song that I like from a new artist. Oh, what's one that you liked recently? Probably the most recent one was that Halsey MGK song. Okay. Forget you. Forget you, too. Wouldn't forget you. I liked that for, like, a week.

The Door in 12 to 12. And then Sienna Spiro. I like her too. She's a little like more whiny like Amy Winehouse. You don't have to listen to that. Not with the wine. Big one. But no, there's like so many music I'm feeling as opposed to like just David Guetta and Pipple all day.

David Guetta is amazing. Pipple's amazing. I think he's going on tour. You want to go? Yeah, but only if you'll come with me to any of the things that I want to go to. Like what? I'm going to the fucking Gypsy Kings. Fine. This is like the most, this is heartbreaking. I literally write in the family chat. I just spent thousands of dollars on an unbelievable VIP table for the Gypsy Kings this summer. Silence. What am I gonna go fucking alone?

1:13:52No, no, no.

1:13:53Claudia Oshry:I'll go to Gypsy Kings. Great. You wanna go to Bruno Mars in the fall? Where? Here? Yeah, here. Yeah, I like Bruno Mars. I don't need - Yeah, no, I like it.

1:14:27Claudia Oshry:Yeah, if I'm encouraging. Yeah. Which I feel like I am. Okay. Within reason. You're encouraging for sure. Yeah. Within reason. Like you have three small children. Yeah, no, you're encouraging within reason. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like you guys golfed on Sunday? We did. We did. Lovely. It was fun. Okay, we can end the show. Oh, I did four stories because I felt like it. Oh, Queenie and Weenie. Claudia will be really mad if we don't do it. So let's do it. It's Queenie and Weenie. Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. I think my Queenie is so obvious. And it's Libby Osherie. Shit. Is that yours too?

1:14:54Claudia Oshry:That was mine. All right, she's a collective Queenie. So she's the obvious Queenie. She's the obvious Queenie. She's the obvious Queenie. Obvious Queenie. Yolito. Yolito. Mazal Tov. BH, thank God. Yeah, we love her. And I, who's your weenie? I don't know. Who's yours? My weenie is the Miraculously Bright Creatures. Very good. Thank you. Remarkably Bright Creatures movie. Okay. And the people who made it and everyone who participated. It was such a wonderful book, even though I can't ever remember the name. I always call it Remarkably. Yeah, Remarkably. Okay. The movie was so fucking bad. It was such bad acting by everybody but Sally Field.

1:15:37Cameron was one of the worst actors I've ever seen. Like, terrible. And they just twisted the story, removed key elements to the plot, and apparently I've been told that this is the life of a reader, that they butcher books, but they fucking butchered this book.

1:15:55Claudia Oshry:It was bad. And they took Marcellus, who is an octopus, who comes in once every 40 pages and just says a little something. They made him the narrator of the entire movie. Oh, that kind of works. No, it didn't. It was like I was watching David Attenborough, Planet Earth. I'm not. It's not a nature documentary. It is a movie about a mother who lost her son who falls in love and the octopus is somehow involved. She falls in love with an octopus? She does, but that's not really what it's about. Okay. The octopus saves her life. It's a great book. Okay. It's a great book. and a bad movie. I started the new Redheads book, Yesteryear, which it's like about...

1:16:32Claudia Oshry:Oh, it's called Yesteryear. It's called Yesteryear. I thought you meant like Yesteryear. It's going like viral right now already. Like the rights have been picked up. Anne Hathaway is starring in the movie. Oh, wow. It's about a trad wife influencer who like wakes up in 1885 and absolutely has to like live a life. Oh, that's cool. Freaky Friday, but... Trad wife edition. Trad wife edition. And you know, I think it's meant to like clown on trad wives. Like you would never actually live like this if you had to. I just got to, I'm like 6 % in, so I just got to the part where like she wakes up in a very cold bed that isn't hers very cool story no i'm i'm like i i think i'm gonna hate it because i it's actually just like about ballerina farm and like clowning on like the person who they're talking like the the influencer on the farm and she sells all these products and she has like seven kids and the husband and the husband's a descendant of like a rich family like it's literally ballerina farm so i'm like i'm not gonna like enjoy something that's clowning on my girl however like so far just the bit that i read like i liked it like i I like the influencer.

1:17:27No, it's also like a – I love Freaky Friday.

1:17:30Claudia Oshry:Yeah. You can miss me on Freakier, but I like Freaky. Well, so I'm curious to see like – and I've seen so many mixed reviews. I really wonder how I'm going to feel about it because you never know what you can expect from me. Yeah. And what I'm going to like and what I'm not going to like. You think I'm not going to like something and then I like it. 100%. And then you say I'm going to like something and I don't like it. 100%. Yeah, we don't know. Stay tuned. Before we close the show, one last thing, which is – I don't know if you know Jackie, but we are sold out in 50 % of targets nationwide. I did hear that.

1:17:59Skinny Spritz is crushing. And so if you went in and didn't find it, I'm sorry. Hopefully stock will arrive soon. But you sold it out.

1:18:07Claudia Oshry:I love it. Skinny Spritz. Yeah, it's right here. Classic Spritz you know and love means skinny at 100 calories and no sugar. It's pretty fucking sweet. Yeah, it is. Without being too sweet. Without being too sweet. Well, that's our show.
