The Boomer Pivot: Wednesday, March 12th, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. Welcome back to the Toast and happy hump day! Speaking of humping, there's a girl. There's a girl! I know! I know! And it's Jacqueline Follet. Hello, Miss Follet. How you doing today? Hey, turdiloo. We're the ladies in black today. Yeah, it's a Skims maternity set sleigh for me. It's a girly t-shirt merch with maybe pants and a cardigan for me. Sleigh! Hey! Say the house down boots. Hey girly, how you doing? Welcome to the toast. I'm doing good. Happy to be here at the toast for another lovely Wednesdays, another lovely show with my lovely C-stird. I feel like being lovely. Okay, let's keep this energy up.

1:09You know, I made a nice coffee this morning without ice. Oh, that's like so yucky. And it doesn't mean to be. Why is it so gross why is it so bad everything was from the fridge everything is cold the drink is still cold i just don't have ice here at the studio yet i have to get an ice maker it's like a whole thing so i usually bring from home i forgot my eyes like what is it about this coffee that seriously looks like sewage no it's so disgusting oftentimes like if i'm staying at a hotel or something like if i don't have ice like i just have to do it like that and why is it so much grosser i don't know because it's not about temperature like it is the same temperature but i don't have like the slushy first of all you know i like to swish my eyes around you like to swish so it's a you know a oral fixation as well you know it's more than that like it is scientifically grosser why i have no idea i think because it looks like it's been sitting in the car for three days so you're like thinking you're you're drinking like old car coffee drink it out of an opaque cup yeah it would still taste weird something about the sound of those ice cubes jingling like makes the coffee taste better there's something to it so i'm suffering that's all that to say i am suffering oh i'm sorry and i guess we weren't going to keep up our lovely energy for that much longer before we launched into the complaints i actually have a lovely tidbit to share which is that i made the crunch wraps yesterday i saw on your instagram i was gonna make crunch wraps and I made crunch wraps the best thing I ever ate in my life I know I it's not shocking that I haven't had one before because I've never had Taco Bell which isn't shocking like if you like what am I gonna eat a Taco Bell um but it's shocking that no one told me like hey Jack like we're having crunch wraps you should make one I feel like I did I told you about this place I went to in LA okay that doesn't do anything for me and then that's like what inspired my whole journey with crunch wraps yeah but like i don't know i just feel like you weren't emphatic about it enough and i just feel like you should have copied me i copy everything you do like there's no shame copy me i thought it was like a ben thing you know no okay let me tell you i didn't know that you were passionate about crunch wraps too no no it's just a me thing he's not passionate about crunch wraps no he does it all for me oh yeah but when we went to la everybody was like try this kosher restaurant try this kosher restaurant i was like sure we uber eats did i ordered a bunch of stuff it was like a mexican place and they said kosher crunch wrap supreme so i just threw one in as like an alternative entree you know i didn't think i was gonna like it i also got like my regular bowl of course of course and oh my god it was the most fucking amazing thing ever and i had two that trip and then i went home and i was so upset i actually messaged them on instagram and i'm like please like will you ship me one like freeze it i don't know like gold belly something thing and they were kind of like rude they were like no and i was like oh okay i never had a tie now i didn't want it anyway i wouldn't want that i'll just go kill myself um and so then ben and i went on the journey of like figuring out how to make them on our own and they are good when ben makes them but they're not nearly as good as this kosher place in la i haven't had that so all i have is like the the the one that i made last night which was parche perfection it was such it was such a nice new thing to add to the menu of my life i'm so glad that you liked it and i'm so glad that you figured out how to make it because i feel like whenever i'm at your house we i have like a very particular you have like you like two or three things that you have like a range of things that you can make and within that range i have a range of things that i like that you make yeah and you've got a couple things off the menu that you like but now you have a new one so remind me the next time i'm at your house which probably won't be for so long um watch you'll be here next week like something's one of the by the way ben wanted to go this weekend classic us um just remind me that that's like some one of your offerings please okay you know what i need to add it to the recipe book crunch wrap oh and while you have your pen out i had a list written on my phone when you couldn't find your pen did you ever transcribe it yes i did list of people who the rules need not apply to oh no karen huger and kelly clarkson the one that i transcribed that day was oh toast playlist that was after now when you lost your pen we started a list on my phone list of people who the rules don't apply to okay i need like tabs in this thing yeah you do because like it's just like a book of stuff of like just paper lists of people by the way if like the police found that notebook they would think the person who wrote it like had dementia it's just so scattered i know but that's what we do okay so karen huger the rules don't apply kelly clarkson i feel like the rules do apply to kelly like you're a smart woman follow the no it's not just about like she no she follows them it's not just about our face like are you capable of following the rules then you should karen huger is oh by the way but that's not what what we were talking about when we made the rules like because we were saying how everybody's always But like if Kelly got a DUI, I would be mad at her.

6:11You should know better. Like that would be unacceptable to me. It would be acceptable to me. So it's just about like your faves. Yeah, yeah, yeah. List of people who my rules don't apply to. No, because it's not faves. Like I had said, I said this when we were talking about this, that if Taylor Swift got a DUI, I would be like disappointed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And you don't feel that way about Kelly? No, it's not about your faves. It's just about like how the world works. I can't explain it. So to me, it's about like what you're capable of. Well, it feels like the list was sort of like my thing.

6:47And so it's my interpretation. How about on the list? We have Claudia's submission. Claude's. Okay. Jack's. Okay. So you want Kelly, even though. Yeah. So this is like people who could get a DUI and. I would look past it. And you would defend them. Yeah. I wouldn't defend them but I wouldn't like be hard on them I would just kind of like ask you not to make a story like Luke Holmes honestly if Luke Holmes got a DUI I'd bury it bury it we'd cancel the show I'd lie and say I was sick yeah yeah I love that okay we'll keep adding to it I had my first less than sublime sleep with my pregnancy pillow last night it was still like a fine night's sleep but I'm definitely like looking at the pillow differently now you know it's not solving all your problems like you thought it would even though last night was still like the best night's sleep in the last month you know like it still ranks the top five night but in terms of it was my worst pillow night yet oh I'm sorry it's okay you win some you lose some that's true you won't appreciate the great night's sleeps without the bad ones and speaking of things I lost it was an hour of my life last night with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills like to make me watch an episode that had not one but two like kyle and mauricio and then bows and keely like those types of scenes i max out at one per episode what about pk and dorit that was actually drama filled i know are they gonna stay together she was on watch drop and live last night too and they asked her that first of all they had three guests on watch drop and live last night did you see that no i didn't because i went to watch andrew schultz's special oh i would love to hear your thoughts in a minute we'll circle back but continue what you were saying so dorit was the guest and then they had the winners of traitors which was two people or maybe not the winners but like the people everybody's talking about gabby windee and zach efron's brother dylan it was three chairs gabby windee won delores won i just saw a headline because for some reason i hadn't seen who won like it's like mass singer they're really keeping it under wraps but like i saw a headline today gabby windee won she hasn't gotten her money yet unless she gets getting paid for something else she said that on watch what happens live that she hadn't gotten her paid her money yet i feel like she won and that would also explain why like she's having like an extra huge moment right now i think that there are multiple winners because i know delores won but then i saw like a tiktok type video of the cast of traders like participating in a trend and it said like two men won traders and gabby the top four were dylan efron delores gabby wendy and lord ivar Mountbatten.

9:20Excuse me? That was a top four. And then just tell me who fucking won. Lord Mountbatten was on Traders? Oh yeah, you didn't know that? No. I did. He made a lot of news. I saw him making news the other day. I think he was talking about Meghan. But I didn't realize it's because he's like the... He was talking about Meghan on Traders. I didn't realize it's because he's the cause du jour of the moment. So Dolores won, Gabby won. Why are they making it so hard? He was responding to the Sussex last name thing. They got his take. Right, right. Wait, I'm not okay that he's on traitors. What? Okay, yeah, there were four winners.

10:05Okay, well, that seems to me. Dylan Efron, Dolores, Mountbatten, and Gabby Windy, and they will share the$200 ,000 prize. So all that to say, three people were on Watchtops Live last night, and um andy asked like what do you think is going to happen with you and dorit the audience they did a vote was like 90 they're not getting back together and dorit was like i don't really know and gabby was like isn't it up to you she was like no actually like if i just said i want to get back together like that wouldn't be enough yeah she said that in the episode that he's in control which is like the worst spot to be in a bad place to be in but as i watch their conversation i hope they stay together and if i were dorit i would want to stay together it's just too much upheaval they have small children their finances are who knows and like I think it would just be so messy if they split up and and they do like each other and I hope that they can put in the work and get back together I know that like some people would be like well the love is gone like that's so unromantic but like yeah I don't know I think what that's life what they have in their life at this stage with their kids and their home like is worth salvaging also he's like not even home all the time because he's always traveling that was her issue with him so like maybe they could get back together they don't see each other that much they'll make it work like I don't know I I think that's what's better for them as opposed to I don't know them splitting up selling the house her moving with the kids switching schools like it's just a nightmare all's that to say I don't put that on the same level as Bo's and Keely and Mauricio and Kyle's conversation so boring I wanted to die we'll talk about in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recap at the end of the show TV recap segment but like bored yeah and it was all like a precursor to get to St.

11:40Lucia it's even though I was like living for the trip I it reminds me the trip I know but just like seeing the digs and stuff it reminded me of um when the real houses in New York went to Turks and Caicos which is like one of their best trips yet and they had that villa like it was very pretty uh I actually think it'll be a really good trip I don't know what happens like I just I'm feeling vibes wise and like the rooms and everything um and I'd like to see a newbie planning a trip yeah I when they were showing the preview for next week of them on the boat fighting like it was reminding me of columbia it looked very choppy totally yeah so that's what i didn't know saint lucia is the only country in the world named after a woman fun fact her story and how like kathy hilton can't pronounce saint lucia it's literally not hard what did she say oh no it was jennifer tilly she's like why can't i say it saint lucia saint lucia or something but it's not for me to judge no those in glass houses.

12:35No, not for me to judge. Okay, well. What else do you want to chat about before we dive in? So Andrew Schultz, I think I watched like half so far because I did try to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. Who splits up a comedy special? Well, Zach was going to bed and I think he wanted me to keep watching so he could watch it. But like, I was like, you know what? We both need to go to sleep. We've not been getting good sleep. The boys have been just like waking up, like they're switching off every night of who's going to wake up. And it was like almost 11. And I was like, okay, that's like a good sign to go to sleep.

13:00Who woke up last night?

13:04chatty classic chatty classic chat i'm so obsessed with chad um so i was so i'm at the part what's he up to they're about to do ivf that he's like explaining that process um and so many things made me laugh and it's actually a different stuff than what you said but maybe because like when he was saying how he used to be so scared of like getting everyone pregnant that like when he would jerk off in the toilet bowl he'd flush twice and wipe it down with the windex because he was scared that when his mom took a dump it would splash back up into her sperm and get her pregnant and then he'd have a son and brother hilarious crying laughing yeah that was really funny too I can't recap a part of a special with you like that's so crazy to watch half we have to talk about it tomorrow when you finish it oh and by the way like the way that you framed it made it seem like you didn't know that he how it goes when he has IVF and like the when you have the picture at the end the video montage that like it's a shock that like he has a child but like he talks about his child the entire time i didn't say that i knew he had a child and i knew that IVF worked i didn't know if it was this round of IVF that worked okay the way i i heard it yesterday which i obviously misheard was that you did he's telling the process and i thought maybe he even hadn't shared yet that he has a kid and that was got it no no he knew it was a big shock yeah okay so it's fine you misheard it's not a big deal it happens all the time no but i really was enjoying It's really quality comedy.

14:29Yeah. They don't make them like that anymore. I'm so glad you like it. So many funny jokes like about the Jews that were like not offensive. Lots of Jewish. Jackie, I completely agree. I thought the Jewish jokes were so funny. Yeah. And not offensive. Agreed. He's not a Jew, is he? No, but like with a name like Andrew Schultz, every time I find out he's not Jewish, I'm shocked. I'm like, Andrew Schultz? I went to camp with Andrew Schultz. Yeah. He's not. He's not. Confirmed? No. Confirmed. interesting he also doesn't look jewish it's just his name yeah it's also it's like brand his vibe is not you think it's not oh agreed agreed yeah agreed so that was fun you want to get into the stories we actually have a lot to talk about today about like a lot of random corners of the entertainment world so without further ado it's the fast five stories you need to know you And the Fast Five stories you need to know are brought to you by Quince.

18:42Who knows? But Sydney Sweeney, trouble in paradise with her mans. She has extended her hotel stay without her fiance. So listen to the deets. How the fuck do they know this? Listen to the deets. Sydney Sweeney has made herself comfortable at a swanky hotel, but she wasn't living the good life with her fiance. This from TMZ. He was not with her, and it's raising concerns about their relationship. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ that Sydney had been staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel since around mid-February, and her fiance has not been part of the extended stay. Now she's in Paris for Fashion Week and it appears that he isn't there either.

19:16Sources say Sydney has been seen around the Beverly Hills Hotel with a couple of girlfriends and a bodyguard. Also told that Sydney had besties, Sydney and her besties had several meals at the hotel's famed polo lounge. They also spent a lot of time at the bar. Sydney even had lunch over the weekend with Lauren Sanchez at the pool. Just an interesting fact as part of the story. Yeah. Well, let's get to that in a minute. Okay, so sidebar with the Lauren Sanchez thing. Sydney looks like she has a couple girlfriends with her in Paris, so it's unclear if it's the same girlfriends from the extended hotel stay.

19:44The situation is pretty interesting, says TMZ, as they first reported Sydney and Jonathan recently postponed their May wedding, blaming the delay on their busy schedules. Sydney's extended stay without Jonathan has folks at the hotel buzzing about whether they're broken up, and on its face, it doesn't sound like a stretch. Yeah, although I do think everything you just told me could be explained away in one manner or another. Yeah, maybe she's renovating her house. Right, right. And I do think that like, just to be devil's advocate, like if your marital home, let's say they share a house together, you're broken up or whatever, and you're a celebrity like that, like you can get another house relatively quickly.

20:17You don't need to stay at a hotel. It's not like, you know, Tom Scavo renting a condo. He would move out. Let's be real, like who's paying for the house? I don't know. He's a restaurateur. So am I, you know, like. Yeah, it could mean a lot of things. But I'm going to operate under the premise that he has money. Otherwise, like what's going on? Otherwise, like, seriously, what's the point? Yeah, like, you said he's ugly. I didn't say ugly. You said he's butt-fucking ugly. That's not what I said, to be clear. I think I said, like... You said Tom Ackerley is handsome, which left space for the fact that this guy is not, even though I think this guy is fine.

20:53I definitely made an implication, like an inference, but I didn't say it. You inferred that he's uggo. That's how you interpreted it, and I'm not going to step on your toes of interpretation. But I want to say I think that he's nice looking. I didn't say that he wasn't. But I do think he has money. Well, I hope so. So I do think it can all be like explained away, but I also think there's something going on here. Yeah. Yeah. Especially the wedding postponement in tandem. With all of this. Like how are you engaged to someone and you don't spend any time with them? That's so Hollywood though. I know.

21:33Do these people even know each other? These people who are in relationships. That's why it's like, okay, Dorit and PK, just stay together, whatever. You're not going to see each other. Well, Dorit and PK are different. They're a family. But I know what you mean. They're a family. Like a giant tree reaching up towards the sky. Great, great musical reference. Thank you for bringing that back into my life. Probably one of the worst songs from the Dream Girl soundtrack, but I don't want to get into that. No, no, no. Yes. There's some actual skit. What's the worst song from the Dream Girl? No, that's a skip.

22:03No. It's like also this really lame emo part of the movie. And everybody's like crying. And it's just like, get me back to Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Yeah. And get me back to the showgirls, the Dream Girl. I need to watch Dream Girls. It's been far too long. I would say like one of like Jamie Foxx's solo songs would be the worst. You know, it's very like Sharon. Okay, but at least Jamie Foxx is famous. The guy who's singing We Are a Family Like a Giant Tree. He's like that manager guy who gets like sidelined by Jamie Foxx, right? he's like such a loser what's it called we are a family why isn't it called we are a giant tree it's also just like a poorly written song i think a lot of this the music from that family and it's by the way sung by the whole like emeryn jamie fox jennifer hudson beyonce no but it starts with that big weenie guy that was is that like the weenie guy who's like their original like brother slash manager i think he's someone's brother keith i need to watch a movie again dream girls who does he play i feel like this is it but i for sure i just need to know he freaking plays freaking plays i actually hate the word freaking the actual f-word seemed extreme in this situation i agree i agree okay they're not making it easy for me to find out it's it shall remain a mystery all's that to say it's definitely up there as one of the worst songs on the soundtrack.

23:22I stand by what I said. Okay. Back to Sydney Sweeney. For me, there's no love lost if this is true. I'm not going to like celebrate, obviously. I want her to be happy. It's sad to see a relationship end, but it definitely has potential for her and Brendan Sklenar. And I was really happy to see after I think it was on Monday's episode where I brought up my little gripe with Brendan Sklenar, which felt like kind of niche to me. I don't know why. I was not the only one. The comments were like, the feedback was really overwhelming. People are, and whether you're Team Justin or Team Blake, Like people are also finding Brendan's skin art to be really annoying and wishy-washy.

23:52And I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. You know what it might be? It might be that like Sydney and the studio want to so doubt in people's minds about her relationship so that they can ship her and Brendan for the betterment of their new movie. And she's sort of like, okay, sure. I'll live at the Beverly Hills Hotel, like for the movie, for the bit. Studios pay in. Can I bring my bitches? Lauren's coming for lunch. What's that about? Okay. Yeah. I mean, the depths that Lauren Sanchez goes when it comes to like social climbing and just like networking. And I don't mean that in a negative way.

24:24Like I think social climbing is a grossly underrated skill. They never cease to amaze me. You know, like when you think about who comes on her and Jeff's boat, like so Sydney Sweeney, why not? You know, it's just only a little shocking because so far she's pretty much kept with celebrities in her own age demographic. Yeah. And Sydney's much younger. What could Sydney Sweeney do for Lauren Sanchez? I think the better question is what can Lauren Sanchez do for Sidney Sweeney? What can she do? Oh wait, I know. She can send her to space. I know. The Housemaid is an Amazon MGM studio production. Maybe Lauren is working on the movie.

24:58Maybe she has. Oh, 1000%. I can see her being like wanting to get into production. So Joe, what's his name? Jeff throws her a bone. Like here, produce this random movie I'm making. Or it's like Lauren likes to read girly swirly books and Jeff's like, what should we make into a movie? and she said The Housemaid, which was a good call. Even though, like, in the breadth of the Amazon's, like, brands, them owning MGM Studios or, like, their partnership with MGM Studios, they make a lot of movies, like, is a huge part of it. But I don't think Jeff Bezos has anything to do with that. Having said that, if his girlfriend wanted a job in movies, like, that's where, that's the department he would call.

25:31Yeah, but also, Frida McFadden is a Kindle Unlimited author. So The Housemaid is, like, a book that only sits on Kindle and Amazon. That's, like, a big 360 partnership. it is but again like in the breadth of things that jeff bezos has his hands in like kindle unlimited is not relevant to his like i'm sure he doesn't even know what kindle unlimited is i know he knows that they make a kindle i know he knows that i'm sure he reads books on kindle don't you think yeah but i don't think he subscribes to kindle unlimited you think he's reading like swirly poor i think he gets a free subscription actually i feel like he reads physical books How could he?

26:08He's invented the Kindle. It's true. He like destroyed the industry. But then he also brought it back. Because he did Amazon. Of course. Like Amazon is books. Yeah. And then they have Amazon bookstores, which just seems so backwards to me. Yeah. And Barnes & Noble is coming back thanks to TikTok. Obsessed. So that we should make a list of TikTok pros and cons. And one pro I would say. I mean, we would be here all day. Well, the con list would be rather long. but the revival of the book industry has been a lovely byproduct. That's a good pro for TikTok. Another byproduct is lots of stay-at-home moms, like earning income as creators.

26:47That's all social media, but TikTok specifically has like a really big niche. Yes. I would say the giggles, that's a huge, the amount that I chuckle, that's huge. The direct con is the amount of time that you spend. Of course, we're not going into cons. We know them. You know, they are. Of course, Osama. That definitely comes to mind when you think of cons. But pros, I think those three for now are good. Okay. It's something. And I do. Oh, also that we have met some new audience members. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We do pick up a couple stragglers on TikTok. talk a lot of like you know uh a lot of uh youth a lot of youth and I just want to say to our youthful listeners while I love you you're welcome here of course she's no longer focused on you I'm so not this show is like actually really not for you it's for the boomers and the boomers have been showing themselves and I love you and I need to start like speaking more directly to our boomer community.

27:59I love this pivot for you. Yeah, I feel like everybody's at Chasing Gen Z. Go. Go chase Gen Z. They're seriously, like, they're not my problem anymore. The more I think about it, this show is really not for them. We're kind of sophisticated. We are kind of sophisticated. We're an acquired taste. You wrecked. You don't like us. Acquire some taste. Ramona Sigger slayed house down boots when she made that her tagline. There are so many taglines that, like, over the years fall flat. They don't age well. They weren't funny. They were weird. but there are a couple and that is one of them. I would say that's one of the best ever.

28:33I'm an acquired taste. You don't like me? Acquire some taste. Like it's funny. It's to the point. And she really is an acquired taste. Like some people really don't like her. Yeah. I mean, for me, it's Jackie Goldschneider top quality fabric will be the number one forever just because of how much we use it in everyday life. And one that I actually use all the time that was really appropriate for the woman, but also sometimes like you just need to say it. There's two. the first is you either love me or hate me there is no in between with me danielle stabs she's in one real house in new jersey like she was by the way they nobody was ever like ambivalent about danielle like she really was there ever a lot of love jacqueline larita like couldn't quit danielle stab the other was love for her okay and then her weird boyfriend with the long hair who like showed up with his with his goons at the country club.

29:25Danny. Yeah. Thank you. And then another one that I just find myself quoting all the time is, and it's not relevant to me or my lifestyle or even the person who said it. Like, I don't know what she was talking about, but I worked too hard for this zip code to go home now. Desperate. Desperate. But like whenever I like work hard at something, I worked. No, that was Kyle Richards. Oh, wait. No. Yes, it was Kyle Richards. She didn't work hard for the zip code. She was born in it. It's Taylor Armstrong in a plea of desperation. Oh, then it's like a little bit darker. Of course. I worked too hard for the zip code to go home now.

29:59Kyle doesn't have to say that. She's. You're right.

30:04So, yeah, that kind of changes things. That's not as fun. Certainly not. But I feel like the joke is that Kyle's always talking about her zip code. Yeah, it just happens that there was zip code crossover. But Kyle would never have to say that she didn't work hard for the zip code. She was born there. Her whole family's there. Even if she left, she's still there. You could take the girl out of the 90210, but you can't take the 90210 out of the girl. I don't know why. I just want to triple check. Go ahead. You need to hear it from Taylor's mouth. Yeah, yeah, it's Taylor. Kyle's that season was, I'm born and raised in Beverly Hills.

30:41This is my town. Sure. Can I say the same thing twice? Totally. So wishing Sidney Sweeney the best, and hopefully this is true yeah yeah our next story is some influencer cocktail news Alex Earl and Kygo are leading a three million dollar investment in up-and-coming canned cocktail margarita brand so Alex Earl has been teasing like a new big thing that she's doing and she had said on her Instagram that she's getting involved with a canned cocktail company some a brand that like wasn't kind of doing well but her and her friends like actually tried it and love the taste and it's their favorite so she got involved and it also is now clear a lot of other big celebrities have gotten involved in like reviving this brand and investing it's called sit margs and it's canned margaritas yeah i asked ben about it what did he had heard he had heard of it and i actually think like she was going to enter the alcohol space in some way and so her picking up like a defunct brand that already has like all the infrastructure she doesn't have to start from scratch it's much smarter it's less work for her and like it's half the work is already done there just it was a flop you know it wasn't a bad product but nobody wanted like nobody they didn't have good momentum so for them to just sort of pick up it's actually very smart um but also it has a lot of like strategic backers so it's not just like alex are all on her own with three million dollars um no it's the palm tree guys who do those festivals that's kygo also michael rubin July 4th boy.

32:09Yep. July 4th boy. J.F.B. Aoki Labs by Steve Aoki, former executive chairman of Founders Brewing, John Green, and anti-fund boxer and influencer, Jake Ventures Capital Firm. Okay, so that's still John Green. But it's like a lot of big people in the partying space, DJs, festivals. Like, this is sort of guaranteed to work, just given who's invested in it, how many events they throw. And big people with success under their belts who know success. It is interesting, though, that there are a lot of like big names a part of it but it's being branded as like alex's thing it's like they all invested in the idea of her being the face yeah that's very smart yeah it is even though they're all celebrities themselves i'm sure aoki could have had like a canned cocktail aoki cans you know whatever yeah you can't if i were to launch a new can't can cocktail company as you guys know i already have one it's called spirit society it would be called you cans look sick you should talk to bren bren about a rebrand or i should get like a diffusion line the idea would only be the rebrand would only be contingent on mercedes javid and her husband tommy um wanting to be on board because they are the direct inspiration and they would be your alex earl yes and then we would have a flavor that's like um has like hints of mahogany and it would be called you look like piece of wood you look like piece of wood now if you don't watch as a sunset you have no idea what I'm talking about and you're really missing out yeah that's beautiful also Alex Earl posted today an interview that's coming up on her podcast and she doesn't say who it is but the commenters seem to have sussed it out because she's like talking to someone looks very serious almost like diary of a CEO and she's like I admire you so much as a female entrepreneur and you always speak your mind people are saying it's Bethany oh for sure for sure which would explain a lot and we'll finally get clarity on dinner gate oh my god I'm like literally dumb because I saw the clip and then I was like, oh, the comments definitely have it figured out.

34:02And they're like, oh, it's definitely Beth. Beth, everybody's calling her Beth. You're lying. And I'm like, who the fuck is Beth?

34:12And so I immediately became disinterested. I'm like, why is Jackie breaking this up? Like Alex's weird friend, Beth, who cares? Like I thought she had like a home friend named Beth. And now it's making a lot more sense. It's also interesting how this is her first episode drop, I think, since leaving or dropped or whatever. and it looks totally different. She appears to be like in a professional studio. Up until a point. Yeah, she had been doing all of it in her house. Yeah, I feel like there's like different iterations of her. Like she has some sister episodes, some like vloggy episodes and now some sit down serious episodes.
