Doing even better because Romeo is in studio with you, and I get to feast my eyes on the Rudy. Yeah, so kind of a big day. I've never brought Romeo to work.
1:18Romeo, obviously, is following in his big brother's footsteps. Theo used to come to work with me all the time. He was kind of a core tenant of like the first three years of the show. He would sit with you. He would sit with me. And it's some of my most fond memories. And I think partial laziness, me not bringing him, I have to totally own that. It comes with age. It comes with responsibility. Right. So this is the first time and I came so prepared. I brought a brand new Minky Couture blanket. It's sitting right there. I brought a dog bed from home. I brought a bone. And I brought his collar that like vibrates when he barks because he does have a little bit of a barking issue.
1:46And I didn't want him barking on the show. Meanwhile, I could have brought nothing. He's been a perfect angel. like did he lay on the minky no he laid right on the floor and then I tapped I said hey you want to come and look at him sleeping soundly if you're not watching on YouTube you are missing out you are missing out I know your guys's pets love when hours join the show so this is for all the dogs and cats out there and gerbils and I can't lie it's definitely for the gerbils I have to say the gerbils mean they're allowed to too Ben said something to me the other day um that made me kind of sad actually said it this morning okay um I was like can I take that dog bed from the second bedroom like nobody uses it and I can leave it at the studio and he was like yeah he doesn't really use it he lays on top of the crate I'm like on top of the crate that's so cute he's like yeah when I'm working in there he lays on top of the crate I'm like oh that's adorable Ben's like yeah you're kind of like missing his whole childhood and I was like damn right in the heart but like I am I've definitely been derelict in my like dog parenting duties Ben does everything for Romeo Like I can't really walk him.
2:42How is that possible? You are always home. Yeah, but like Romeo just likes Ben more. Like he's always, if Bren's working in the second bedroom, Romeo's with Ben in there. Ben takes him to the dog park. They play fetch like two times a day. So I've just been like, it kind of hit me. Like, yeah, I have been missing out on Romeo's childhood. So maybe this could become our like special mommy son time. Your thing. Mornings with mommy. Right, mornings with mommy. So cute. But like, that's so rude that he said that. Like you're going through a lot. Obviously. And it was definitely hurtful, but it was kind of a kick in the ass I needed to give my boy a little bit more love.
3:16To bond with Rudy. Especially because Rudy's about to get chaffed. Oh, big time. Rudy's about to become the dog. I know, because he's very much like the firstborn. Yeah. But when you have children, your dogs become your pets. Now, speaking of babies, I did promise yesterday I'd have a big announcement on the show today. Because you got checked. I took my ass to the doctor.
3:43And boy, do I feel silly. The baby has not flipped. Okay. And yeah, the baby has not flipped. Okay. And I made this like appointment. It wasn't even like on the schedule. I was just like, hey, can I come in? I have a feeling. She was like, sure. Listen, forgive yourself. We've all been there. We've all needed to get on the monitor. Yeah. One thing or another. But I feel like you get one in your pregnancy and like that was mine. I don't even think that you were so crazy And being so emergent And like you paid for your time 1000 % no free rides here But what's the strat going forward Because I'm glad that I went Because the ultrasound technician She was actually pregnant swirly too And she was like at this point Like your baby's like a baby Like you will feel the flip Like you won't be coming in here unsure And I said okay that makes me feel better Like for real And I just I was really bummed Like I really was.
4:36And like shout out to Ben. He like wouldn't let me be bummed. We like went to the park. We went for a walk. It was so beautiful out. With Romeo? We got ice cream. No, of course without Romeo. We got ice cream because the office is right by the park. She was like, let's just go. I was just trying to like disprove his point. But instead I made his point. Yeah, because mommy comes first. But we were going to like go home, get the dog and then go to the park. Like we were just right by the park. It was perfect. And we got ice cream and like it made me feel better. And I'm just bummed for myself, which like is selfish.
5:03That's not the point of this whole thing. So I'll get over it. I just really need to start coming to terms and start highlighting the positives of having a scheduled C-section. Like, okay, I can get my hair done. That's big. Right. I know that morning that I'm going to have a baby. It's not going to be a big surprise. Right. Not a lot of uncertainty. Also, they do say they don't want it to be so close to your due date, like your natural due date, because they don't want to risk you going into labor. It's supposed to be totally separate. So you do kind of shave off a week, which is huge. I can't lie.
5:36That's huge. And you guys should pick your baby's birthday. Yes. I didn't even realize that. Jackie was like, so when are you going to pick the birthday? I'm like, who's? Yeah, Claudia was like basing it around the bris. And I was like, but that also just like means that that's your baby's birthday. Just keep it. Yeah, and I have to think like, you know, this is kind of the time between school and camp. Like, I'm going to have to be a little strategic. I have to think more about it. I haven't chosen a date yet. Okay. Well, whatever you choose will be the right decision. And I think, yeah, now like a little let go and let God energy.
6:04you know yeah yeah i'm going to acupuncture today but now selfishly like i just want to feel yeah like that good shit i think that's still like a healthy thing for you to do regardless of flippage yeah so i just i keep saying this like i really need to let it go yeah well you first you have to like fake letting it go before you can let you know what i mean like it's a process you don't just like wake up and move on and let it go yeah but like we're gonna manifest letting it go yeah yeah it's fine like and ben was like really putting shit into perspective he's like people leave their appointments with like way bigger issues stop and I was like okay okay it sounds like he's like being really cruel these days oh cool I thought I thought you were gonna say he's being like the opposite I'm usually like tough love and he's like needs a little bit more coddling but maybe he knows that like that's what I need because he's like he's letting me feel my feels but he's just delivering straight facts yeah that is my favorite strategy of personhood but I don't sometimes like you just need to tell a person what they want to hear especially when they're dealing with a lot right right and ben has started using that phrase that you taught him um like when we're having and when i'm having any sort of issue not pregnancy just like if i'm mad about something he says well do you want to hear like comfort or do you want to hear solutions oh i taught him that yeah oh i love that for me and at first i really liked it that statement i should use it in my own life yeah because sometimes like you just want to be upset like someone coming in being like well if we carry the one like shut up yeah yeah you just want to commiserate yeah so him saying like okay by the way do you want me to just like be with you or do you want to like come up with a solution and at first I was really appreciative of him like understanding what I needed and when and asking but now I find the question a little derogatory like it's starting to bother me yeah yeah that is really funny I'm sorry for that I didn't even know that I did that but I actually I need to like take my own advice and practice that in my own life it's a really good like question to ask it's Mostly like from a man to a woman.
8:00Because like sometimes a woman just wants to be mad. It's from the harsh to the sensitive. Right. And sometimes you just want to be mad. Yeah. But also sometimes then like finding a solve really does make you feel better. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sounds like a lot of work. But I'm a solution oriented person that typically is what's going to make me feel better. Like having a plan. So is Ben. I find it annoying when I'm just trying to like be mad. That's so funny. I didn't realize Ben and I were so similar. And then I guess like you're so similar to my husband. Maybe you should get married to Ben.
8:28But opposites attract. They each need us. You know what I mean? It's, by the way, understatement of the century. They both need us. Yeah. I always think opposites really attract. When two people are so similar, I'm like, you must be having fun, but it's not going to go well long term, Jessie and Lexi. I don't even think you're going to have fun. In the beginning, it's like we both want to do the same things, but eventually you need that yin and yang. Yeah. To compliment one another. Okay. Is this a dating and relationships podcast? I don't know. and then sometimes I'm like well wouldn't it just be easier if we were the same yeah of course because then it gets like so frustrating when a person like doesn't see something your way yeah if we had the same love languages if we had the same response yeah but I don't know then we maybe just would like sit in it and then how do you know what is your love language let me guess what are the love languages like gifts oh definitely gifts but um no I feel like acts of service yeah so is mine and when I say love language that means like how I receive love Right.
9:25My favorite way to receive love. Yes. Yes. Yes. And I would say Ben's is like all of them. He's kind of annoying like that. He wants physical touch. He wants words of affirmation. He wants gifts. He wants acts of service. But he knows better than to ask for acts of service. I'm sorry. Any man whose love language is acts of service? Like unless it's cooking. Oh, that's fair. Like domesticity. But you don't want me to go grab you something, do you? You want me to get up? No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not right. It couldn't be. That shouldn't be an option for them. No, my husband is like words of affirmation and physical touch.
10:01Those are hard to give. Like, it's just, do you know what I mean? Some are, like, easier to do. And some, like, when it doesn't come naturally to a person and you have to, like, remember. Yeah. But that's why I feel like when I do give words of affirmation, like, that's how you know I, it's like. That you mean it. It means more than the person who's always giving it. Right, like the person who's founded a party having a glass of wine and a heart-to-heart in the corner. Right. So I don't know if he takes solace in that, but he should. You should ask him. No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. Okay. Cool.
10:36It's Friday, which is such a cause to celebrate. It's a beautiful day. It's going to be a gorgeous weekend in New York. We're going to the golf course. Like, you know, Ben's there now. I can't. But it's really so gorgeous. So I will go with him. Right, right. Jackie keeps texting me like questions to ask Ben about golf like from full swing. About certain players because like all of them really you get like a really quick good sense of their personality. And like there's a couple weenies of course. Of course. A couple like just neutrals. And I think you have to have that energy in golf. But there are a couple of like big personalities that are like okay these are the big swinging dicks.
11:10Yeah. On the course. Par. Par? Par. Yeah. Is that a person? Four. Par four. Yeah. Okay. No. By the way, totally. Right? Par for. Thousand percent. And I haven't even met everyone yet, but every episode I meet more people and it's good. And I've also like heard of a lot of these people like from the gram and stuff because a lot of them are obviously famous. Of course. Of course. Some people I've never heard of. So that just, you know, you should work a little harder. One thousand percent. You don't have enough followers. But it's definitely an interesting world. It's a whole new world. Like I've entered a new world.
11:47a whole new world i'm so happy for you and speaking of weenies it is friday have you prepared a queenie and weenie for everyone i just need to remember what i was thinking this week i remember i said someone was my actually i totally have it i just need i totally have it totally i have mine too okay cool and that's it for the fried dairies yeah um you have any big plans weekend we're gonna have some fun oh that's good what kind uh like a little shopping a little going up and down the coast a little easter fun i think she's heading to the coast well like we live like by the coast so a little north a little south little east west no no not east west we're not getting on alligator alley um a little easter this weekend a little brunch yeah how do you feel about your like family participating in non-Jewish, but like sort of cultural, like an Easter egg hunt is so fun.
12:44Like why should the kids be left out? Yeah, so like I wouldn't seek one out if there wasn't one like near me, but like we're going to brunch on Sunday and they're going to have like eggs hunt and stuff. And so of course, yeah, go run and find eggs. Don't ask me any questions. Not like scripture. Yeah, you're fine. But sure, grab the eggs and yeah, learn about a different culture. That's nice. And Easter's the day that Jesus rose. Is that correct? after dying on Christmas. Oh, no, he was born on Christmas. Born on Christmas, I think. And today's Good Friday. Good Friday, millennials, to all who celebrate.
13:17It is? Yeah. I feel like Good Friday was last Friday. No, I know for sure it's today. Don't even question me. It is. It is. She's right. She's right. So that's a really big day. I always, I often forget the significance of Good Friday, but it's a very big day spiritually. So happy Good Friday to all who celebrate. And let this be a reminder to anyone who is either participating or not participating. It is not culturally acceptable to make your caption on Sunday. She has risen. Take it from me. I had to learn the hard way. I had this really cute picture of myself at an Easter party. And I happened to be sitting up on this thing.
13:53So I was like, oh, she has risen. And I got my ass handed to me. And I never did it again. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way. I feel like if you're Christian, you could do it. Because what are they going to tell you? Especially if you're observant. What could they say to you? So I guess the issue was that, no, I think the issue was like no matter who does it, it's like, well, you didn't rise, bitch. Jesus did. So like, fuck off. Yeah, but if it's a joke, like, and I think if it's in your own realm, like you can make jokes. But I can't say whether it's funny or not because like, I'm not part of it.
14:23Yeah, no. And I'm definitely sorry about that time five years ago that I made it the caption. Like, this wasn't me bringing that back up again so I could get more hate. People will make it their caption. And I think it's like fine. I think it's like a classic social media trope that people fall into. It's not for me to judge whether it's fine or not. Only God can judge us, Jax. And like your fellow man. Forget the haters because somebody loves you. What are your plans for the weekend? Sounded like you had big plans. Oh, they're huge. Oh, my God. It sounded like you had big plans. You were like revving up with the weather.
14:54No, no. You asked me so I could kick it back to you. No, no. It's going to be nice. So I plan to hopefully go for a walk or two. With Romeo? We'll see. and that's pretty much it for me on the plans frontier okay anything for Easter? no but I have been sort of calculating with Ben like our last I've been like doing a countdown I'm like it's only X amount of weekends together just us like we should make them special you're like Carol Wadser well in your summers oh my god totally only have four good summers left which is so true by the way you only have like four quiet weekends left no I know so I was saying to Ben like we need to make them really special meanwhile he has like plans without me so he's golfing he's golfing yeah where is he well don't tell me where he's golfing so then i know everyone will just i couldn't tell you i couldn't tell you if people will show i couldn't tell you if i tried it's not at our club golfing somewhere with a spa yeah he always invites me by the way which is very nice he's like come you could ride in the car you can go have lunch you can go if it's in the summer he's like you can lay by the pool um and it's very sweet but like i would feel like a huge fucking loser.
15:58What if you brought a friend? What about Satchi? But like Ben, so when he golfs at our club, like, yeah, I can come and like, I don't need Ben for that. I can go whenever I want. If he's golfing at someone else's club and it's like a group of four guys, like what am I doing there? Well, bring a friend and then have lunch and then, you know. So then Ben is bringing two guests when he's a guest at someone else's club. Like that's just not done. I just feel like because you're famous, they'd be happy to have you. I can get away with like being a schnurra for sure. Yeah, people would be like, it's not like a, it's a value add.
16:26like oh he's bringing the famous girl right like this club would be lucky to have me yeah you're not like a drain on the resources well thank you for calling me famous that's always a great way to start the weekend i feel like it's sometimes you have to think of yourself that way you know it's not just like a regular sometimes well sometimes you're not like it just depends on the situation you know just to be clear like i'm deeply aware of my own fame now obviously it's not traditional fame everything you're calling yourself famous like yeah bitch like i get stopped in the street like 10 times a day like please i know like i know what i am i literally went to a dinner yesterday i literally couldn't eat i couldn't eat like every like please i know um so i'm deeply aware of it you know that's why like i leave the house like i try and look somewhat nice if i can um people who pretend like they don't know that they're famous like bitch like but when you know about like ben at like for a guest of a guest like but do you think about your fame actually i didn't think of it so maybe i don't always think of it because no, I didn't.
17:28They would be so excited to have a famous person. Actually, maybe I did think about it, because I'm thinking, like, I don't want to be that obnoxious famous person who thinks she could just steamroll into this club. But what is fame for if not that? It's so true. And everyone would be so excited to have you, and I'm sure, is it like a Jewish club? Because then they would be so... I know my demo. I could do a set. You could work. I could literally sing for my supper. And you know these clubs have like big Jewish contingencies, the ones like on Long Island and Jersey. Yeah. Well, some don't. Well, of course.
18:02We're not going to those types of clubs. Yeah. I don't think it's the same. You're not famous there. You are not famous there. I would urge any Jew not to look too deep into the history of your particular country club because there's, you know, a likelihood you weren't allowed for a while. Yeah, for sure. But now we're taking our power back. Let's focus on the positive. How good is this club sandwich? Yes. We're taking up space. Okay. We are taking up space. Also, I recorded The Good Guys yesterday. That's what I did. You're a good wife. I am. It was a fun episode because Paige joined too. So it was like a pregnancy like thing.
18:38And literally Ben and Josh shouldn't even talk. So that was fun. And so like obviously I'm feeling a little. I'm feeling some type of way about it. What do you mean? That I went on The Good Guys. Like and now I'm coming back here like. Oh, you're feeling like a traitor. Yeah. Okay. So I wanted to say it before like the episode is released. okay well we forgive you you promoted the toast I'm sure I actually didn't great because at the end Ben was like rate review subscribe he was like Turdy do you want to promote anything I was like no everybody here knows who I am like I brought the beer I was like no you guys know like follow me like do you know okay okay cool we'll get him next time go on yeah yeah we'll get him next time well I think everyone here deserves a dose of nerlata what do you say 1 ,000%.

But they say that they always bring a little spice. so they said we always bring a little spice to our socials they insisted that they have a ton of respect for katie perry and her out of this world talent um and that was that and then okay so it was a kind of a big deal that they responded like again there wasn't that much backlash or they could have gotten away with not but they are a brand account and anytime a brand gets backlash they like shit their pants like oh so they had to release a statement now katie then responded again what did she say and just like keep like continuing to harp on the point yeah and it was like okay let it go i just feel like the more katie speaks like she just doesn't help herself so like it was nice that like other people like us were taking up for her being like no this is wrong and right but whenever like she gets involved she just kind of puts her foot in her mouth and so it's not the most effective way and then people like don't really want to have her back anymore but I will continue to have her back and say that Wendy's was wrong for this this is weird people were saying that like their whole thing is that they have like they've got beef right so like they they make up beef with people because Wendy's has beef and so that's why they're doing this with Katie because they love having beef now the predictions are saying that you know what are the odds katie perry stars in next year's wendy's super bowl commercial right like there's going to be some sort of big endorsement which i think is like one of very few ways to make this right yeah i don't think that's gonna happen you don't because you think katie's too mad yeah and i also think like they don't like her like they capitalize on like a move i don't clearly i don't think she's good for sales i think they said what they said because they know that nobody cares and nobody's not shopping at wendy's because they hurt katie Perry's feelings.
25:29Like I think she has a low Q score. So why would she be in a commercial? I guess. I think she could be in like a Jack in the Box commercial. A Burger King. A competitor. Not still Q score low. But like a competitor that wants to like ride the co-tails. Have a moment. And have a moment. Katy Perry. That's a good idea. Yeah. I like that. You would love it. You would love it. Also Jessica Chastain is chiming in. Like taking shots at the ladies. she reached the ladies at the ladies of the blue origin flight she retweeted an article from the guardian an opinion piece that said that was called the blue origin flight showcased the utter defeat of american feminism in which case okay you you will love it the thing is is like i have been saying you know for many years we're we need to have some sort of referendum on how we got here american feminism with modern american feminism it is like the most toxic and so I just hate that like we're having the conversation on the backs of this particular event because while it was cringe and weenie like it was in good spirit like I don't know why are we having this conversation now like no and it's like to me there have been many more egregious things there's so many things that are like akin to this I can't really think of examples but like you know just nonsense disguised as feminism right so many things and everyone champions those things like oh my god this is amazing and i'm sure these girls are like wait why now why this nonsense act disguised as feminism like why are we taking them i think what did we do differently they thought they were acting in line with what the women wanted yeah i think they're shocked by this reaction but i think it's it's a culmination of nonsense and we're not gonna take it anymore okay but i actually feel bad for them i just feel like there have been so many more instances of like feminism that have actually been like harmful to women like this wasn't harmful it was just like silly um and like not not deep right then being like i'm gonna wear my lipstick in space like it's just a corny and whatever but i hate that we're having this referendum around this particular event because i think there have been far worse and more damaging i'm trying to think of like a i mean i know you guys like don't want to hear it but Blake Lively I think a lot of what's going on with Blake Lively like has a lot to do with like toxic modern feminism I don't think that's a strong example okay fine it's not the right example but you know what I'm saying like why now why this origin I agree I think they're shocked I think they thought they were like they were in line with the culture and that everyone would love this especially I don't think Katy Perry is shocked I think she's used to waking up every day and like getting shit for everything she does but I don't think Gail King thought she would ever find herself at the center of a big flop like this.
28:21But it's also not fair the amount of hate that Katie is getting and it's not evenly spread out amongst the women. She is taking on, yeah. I'm mad at the activist. I'm mad at the astronaut. I'm mad at Gail King. Take some of the brunt. But she is the most famous one and that's sort of... I guess. It's just not fair. The price you pay. The hate should be split equally in sixths. Agreed. So you're saying more hate to the civil rights activist? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. No, it's not equally distributed by any means. That's unfair to Katie. Like, she is really the one that, like, her reputation is suffering.
28:55Whatever Gayle King does next, like, this will not follow her. This will follow Katie Perry forever. And, like, why they did the same thing. I don't know. I feel like Gayle King maybe is having a harder time, like, emotionally right now. Because she's not used to this whirlwind, right? Everything. Gayle King is a media darling. She's Oprah's best friend. Yeah. And I don't want to dox anyone. but we still don't we still don't know who said oh my goddess we don't we don't know that with certainty it's almost like they're protecting the identity of the person who said it and i want to know who it is like for my own life but i i don't want to dox anyone you know and put like dox isn't the right word because unless you're gonna unless you're gonna say their address on the toes like that target on them and i don't want to unmask them you know i mean it wasn't gail and it wasn't any of the famous people right because we know their voices there's a chance it was katie in which case how how could she get more hate than she's already getting right sound off in the comments who do you think said oh my goddess
30:02it definitely wasn't lauren sanchez i'll tell you that she was the one who said the moon the moon oh you're right and then a voice coming from elsewhere was oh my goddess yeah I hope this saga never ends. I'll be like, we've had a story about it every single day and I'm not mad in the slightest. Yeah, I agree. I want more space travel, but maybe, maybe just maybe, maybe going to space for eight minutes gives you the sort of perspective that you need to weather a storm like this. Yeah. Romeo. Don't go in there. Romeo's acting a fool yeah Romeo's being kind of a bad boy Romeo's being disruptive to the flow of the show I might just need to let him go do you know what I mean like let him go chew on some cable somewhere okay yeah so I just know something's gonna be broken when I get up out of here this hasn't gone the way that I thought it would if you're watching on YouTube you've probably saw me like the last five minutes just sort of scrambling and if you've listened as an audio episode I'd be like what was up with Claudia these last five minutes I was extremely flustered trying to get Romeo to like I think we have to practice letting it go let him go so he's on the I can't even see him.
Read the full transcript
31:12He's on the other side of the curtain. Like, I wonder what he's doing. No, but like, you have to trust in your sweeping nature that like things have been swept. Let me just make sure there's no like food on the floor. You've never left food on the floor. No, but like maybe if I had groceries. No, there's like, there's stacks of like Pellegrino on the floor. He can eat that. Keep the boy sparkling water. Hopefully he's just sitting there like chewing on my slipper. You know, I have a pair of slippers over there. That's exactly what he's doing. Not like a big cord. Are you ready for our next story?
31:39I am. And I'm going to be more present. like fuck Romeo you know yeah fuck that dog yeah a clueless sequel series with Alicia Silverstone is returning in development at Peacock so yesterday was announced that Alicia Silverstone is attached to the reprise to reprise the role of Cher Horowitz in a clueless sequel series at Peacock variety has learned the show is currently in development exact plot details are being kept under wraps from the fact that the show will serve as a follow-up to the cult classic film now nobody loves Cluteless more than me literally it's probably in my top three favorite movies I love Cher I feel like Alicia Silverstone over the years has not shied away from referencing to reference or not reference Cher and every time she does it it just doesn't hit for me do you know what I mean no because Alicia Silverstone like in her personal life is not Cher is not Cher like no she does that what's that feeding she like shoots her kids foods you know how birds It's birds will eat their chew food and then like feed it to their babies.
32:39So they don't chew it themselves. It's like pre-chewed food. Okay. And she does that. Right. Cher would never. She's a hippie. She's very hippie. Yes. And Cher is a material girl. Correct. So yeah, in the past, like I love when people reference like their big famous role. I hate when they ignore it. So I like that she does it, but I don't know. It doesn't like excite me at all. And so for this, I don't know. I just know they're going to like woke-ify clueless. Like clueless is perfect. Like please leave it alone. Please leave it alone because even if they say that now like yes once they woke-ify it like it's over.
33:14Game over. It's over. But say like they kept it like just standard and Cher has grown up and so she has a daughter who's in high school getting her license. That's what it is. That's what it is. Like please lord no. Okay. Agreed. Please lord no this has never been done well. She's right you guys. Listen to her. This is our favorite movie, Protect the Sanctity. You ruined Mean Girls, right? You had to go and do it. You ruined Mean Girls. We're going to all forget about it. Right. This has never been done right. I think maybe Fuller House was a success. Yes. I didn't watch it, so I couldn't say.
33:51But it was widely, it was enjoyed. It was enjoyed. Please, Lord, no. Yeah, this movie is like really too important to too many people. there's a generation of young women that were raised on clueless like so much of i could say confidently my personality i feel comes from the movie clueless like we quote it all the time like just leave the fuck alone okay if they had a track record of doing these sorts of things successfully i would get excited like you know the first time we heard news such as this we were excited they tried to do with gossip girl they've tried to do with pretty little liars like right stop bringing it back they're bringing it back stop no really don't like we are okay and why don't you just like do something original and this is coming from two of the biggest fans of the movie so if the fans aren't even excited about this who is this for and that's why like as much as we joke that they you know announced the legally blonde sequel like 10 years ago and never wrote it and mindi kayling's attached to it and how exciting like it's probably best that it hasn't come out yet because that's another i put that i put legally blonde in the bucket of movies that also raised me like with clueless mean girls like those are important films and they need to be protected their legacy and the day that it comes out like we will have to contend with what we've seen no we'll have to live with ourselves and i don't want to have to deal with that you know because even if it's not an abomination it's not gonna be what it was not gonna be what legally blonde was so just write a different movie for christ's sakes and see when reese witherspoon's also a great example of a celebrity who is constantly referencing her big role right obviously she's done a million things she's a billionaire now but like we all know her and we love her from Elle Woods and she's always leaning in which I appreciate and I do feel like her personality as like a swirly isn't that far off from Elle.
35:32She's very like cutesy and girly and you can see the connection and so when she does it actually always it always brings me joy always always always brings me joy and that just hasn't been the case with Cher historically. Now remember the Cher excuse me the Clueless TV show? Loved. But Alicia Silverstone wasn't Cher. No. And it was before, excuse me was after the movie. Yeah. And it was good. It was good. But they had the same character who played Amber, right? Yeah, and I think Murray was the same. Right. So I don't know what the connection from the Clueless TV show and the Clueless movie was, but it was a very good TV show.
36:12And it was at the same era, so it was really like 90s. It was really, it was cool. No, it was really, I mean, the people were still young enough to play their same characters, so it wasn't too far off. It was well done, but those executives are long dead. and the people who are writing this did not write that. No, no. The vibes are, it's over. It's over. Clueless is over party. And that's okay. Right. Let sleeping dogs lie. Don't mess with perfection. Don't mess with perfection. I completely agree. So I know you thought we would be excited about this, but we're not. Yeah, I feel like I got tagged in this a lot.
36:45People sending me like, oh, look. I'm like, ugh, vomiting. Yeah. Our next story is some more new TV show development news. Really excited to get your thoughts because Jennifer Lopez is set to star in Netflix's The Last Mrs. Parrish. So The Last Mrs. Parrish is a super popular thriller novel, like one of the ones that everyone reads. Now, I didn't read it because I read the book called The Wife Between Us, which then I heard was a carbon copy of The Last Mrs. Parrish. So I know the premise. So I can. Yeah. So Jennifer Lopez will star as the lead role in The Last Mrs. Parrish, written by Liv Constantine, a bestselling book that came out in 2021.
37:20the psychological thriller centers on a twisted con artist who targets a wealthy couple the parishes as her next victim she infiltrates the pair by befriending the wife and seducing the husband with the master so is j-lo the wife or the con woman i feel like she's the wife because the con woman is younger younger yeah with the master plan of becoming the next mrs parish only to discover that the wife's life is far more complicated than she could have imagined additional casting has not yet been announced but we can imagine that the other person the other woman who will play the con woman will look like j-lo a little bit like a younger j-lo yeah i mean not they're not meant to be like interchangeable but like it's kind of like housemaid where it's like obviously this man has a certain likes a certain type of woman and the woman is trying to endear herself to the husband so you also just reminded me that i saw oh yeah colleen hoover posted on instagram new casting news um rudy pankow from jj outer banks yeah is going to be in reminders of him so I'm imagining he plays like the there's like a throwback the young version of the guy yeah I think um but back to JLo reminders of him I didn't read that one you didn't read that one it's not a super popular one and it was the last Colleen Hoover book that I read meaning it was like it sent you out the door kind of you weren't wanting more I can't tell you I didn't not enjoy it it was just like I thought to myself could I be using my time in a better manner and it turns out that I could have.
38:46Back to this. I think this is enormously disappointing for a multitude of reasons and I'm not blaming it all on J-Lo. I'll say this. The Last Mrs. Parrish is like one of the top ten most popular books of the last five years. Thrillers specifically. Yes. People, I loved it. People love this book. It's like Gone Girl. Yes. It is so popular. Like the movie adaptation could be huge. Now we talked about this earlier in the week. Netflix does not have a good track record of turning books into movies and I feel like already being like a little unsure because Netflix like I don't know and I feel like the last Mrs.
39:18Parish like this should have been a blockbuster this should be at theaters like yes exactly Gone Girl is a perfect comparison we should have had like a bigger moment and I actually I'm like done clouding on JLo I feel like she's like had a hard year but I do want to say like there is something fraudulent about everything she does when it comes to movies like every movie it just gives straight to DVD energy it's so yes except for Hustlers but it's so corny like all the movies that But she does like she's always doing these global vibes. She's always doing these global press junkets. And I'm like, I've never even heard of this movie.
39:50Atlas. Like she's always just making shit up. So I have a very bad feeling about this. Although if done well, like let's say we're so wrong. It turns out to be amazing. This could be huge for the J-Lo comeback tour because she desperately needs favorable things. And people loved this book. and if she crushes it and the movie crushes, it actually could be a good strategy. I agree, but this casting just does not bode well for the movie. She's really, and it's crazy because her early work made in Manhattan. The best job at her job in this. I don't think she's the best actress, but say she nails the acting.
40:30If the rest of the movie is getting this lowbrow treatment, it's not going to be. But what is it? What has changed? because there was a period of time where like JLo movies were instant successes. Made in Manhattan, The Wedding Planner, Selena. Like how do you go from that to like actually being like a community theater actress? I feel like maybe she has a production company that's like involved in a lot of her projects now. And so they like pick the worst sets and like the worst locations. That's a good call. Something like that. You know, she loves to like fund things herself. She used to probably just be in front of the camera, but the more success you have, you get to be behind the scenes and maybe that's harming the projects.
41:13You get more power. Yeah. And you think that maybe that was like the nail in the coffin for her. It's just harming her projects because maybe they haven't involved in casting and she has, you know, just a bad eye for that. So I hate to be like negative from the get, but I don't have a good feeling about this. No, this was something again. When I saw this, I was like, rats. This book was so similar to a book that you told me to read. The Wife Between Us. Was that it? Yeah. Did you read it? Yeah. It's the same thing. I read the same book twice. And it was like, young girl attacks a wealthy couple by befriending and then seducing.
41:48And it's like, who's crazy? The wife or the... Yeah. And they literally were the same book. No, and in The Wife Between Us... What was the one where the character was named Nina? Oh. No, no, no. That was A.R. Tori. She was like... That was another book. Literally followed the same blueprint. Yeah. But we loved that book. But it was different. yeah no and at the end like the spoiler alert like the con woman loses and you're like supposed to feel bad for her the lesson is like revenge isn't worth it but she like her whole life it was like kind of ambiguous that was a little different a.r tory every little secret something like that maybe no the wife between us is literally the same thing and also the big twist in the life between us skip ahead 10 seconds if you don't want to hear but i don't think anyone cares is that you think you're reading the point of view of the crazy person the whole time and then it like turned out to be the wife in past tense or something like that yes that when the book splits in half and then you're reading from the second plv you're like what the fuck what the fuck did i just read because it's not what i thought i was reading yeah it was really good really good cool cool cool sorry to spoil like four books for you um so i am like obviously i'm cautiously pessimistic but i'm hoping to be i would love to be wrong because I think it would be huge for J-Lo like a book that is successfully turned into a movie like people love yeah and she desperately needs the love of the people yeah I just even if the movie's like good whatever Netflix things like happen in like a 48 hour blink of an eye that it's not gonna move the needle that much even if it's really it's so true that's why she needs like a big blockbuster rollout like they need theaters or like maybe go to Broadway or something show everyone how talented you are again go back to the talent well well that's sort of the issue at hand right people saying she's never sang live and she's not real and it's the voice of ashanti's path they say it's ashanti singing like that's what the blinds alleged alleged say yeah there are conspiracy theory rumors about j-lo that like she does not sing she's never sung she's always had lip singers and if you ever need a little bit of like just a taste of why you think that this conspiracy theory might be true you have to listen to the song ain't your mama by j-lo and megan trainer because um megan trainer sings on it the entire time and there are parts where they're trying to make it seem like it's j-lo but it's clearly megan trainer i just want to say for a long time i just believed this theory like i didn't question in it i was like yeah she doesn't sing like who cares whatever happens and then we saw her perform live where at robin hood oh oh i don't remember that i thought you were talking about we went we saw her at a super bowl party too but it was like this big arena you can fake it we saw her at the robin hood gala i don't remember her performance and she was singing no the thing is she has performed so much for so long there would be way more compelling live video evidence if this whole thing was in fact fraudulent and i don't think you would agree to perform at the super bowl literally the world's largest stage if you had this thinking stage if you had this big secret to hide i don't know if i was a lip singer i'd love to do the super bowl it's encouraged and like that's why she's leaned so much into dance is like she can take these two minute dance breaks and not sing because she's dancing yeah i have like moved on from that theory i just want to say I wouldn't say I've moved on I just would say I'm open to it being not true I'm now in the theory that JLo's like Owned and operated companies Are ruining her projects That's what I think I think that's not even so much a theory More as just like a high likelihood Are you ready for our next story?
45:31Is it number three? It's number four Oh I guess I'm not right? I guess you're not Is it our fourth story that's brought to you by BabyList And I'm so excited because I feel like we've been talking about BabyList for a while and I've been talking about it like about how I use it for organization and I have but actually this week I started like registering for stuff yeah you sent me yours it's so cute I actually used baby list also this week to get a gift for a friend it was so did I it was easy as pie so easy so well Shannon texted me and she was like by the way I'm not gonna buy you anything like I know how you are but like when the time comes can you send me your registry and I was like embarrassed because it was empty it was just like literally one thing on it I'm so I've started to get it together and I've been having so much fun like I actually when I was shopping on baby list for a gift for our friend who we both bought a gift for this week I ended up seeing something that I liked and edited to my registry as well so I kind of stole one of her ideas that's another great part about baby list like go look at people's registries and get ideas what's really great about it is like it's very intimidating especially the first time like okay I need a stroller you think you'll just buy a stroller no you can't just buy a stroller like there's so many different factors about where you live.
46:35Do you have other kids? Like, how sure are you? Like, there are so many things.

49:46I'm devastated to hear this. He's apologizing for using an anti-Semitic slur during his blackout arrest. Oh, by the way, I'm sorry. I missed the anti-Semitic part of this. I just saw his mugshot. I was like, he was probably drunk. Oh yeah, no, he was drunk and disorderly at a ski lodge, blocking people from getting on the ski lift. Oh yeah, I heard he, I read that he put his helmet on backwards and got on the ski lift, wasted without skis. I didn't hear anything about an anti-Semitic slur. So, he was acting belligerent, he was arrested and he started like hurling slurs at the officers i kept seeing anisemitic slur and nobody would tell me what he said and i'm like the k-word i don't want to watch the video because i don't like care enough but like what are you talking about and variety thank you let me know okay first of all he called the officer driving him to jail a fucking nazi and then the k-word which are kind of conflicting okay but how did he know that the officer was jewish because it's really not a popular job for a Jew.
50:42I don't. Was the officer even Jewish? These are maybe all things I could find out if I watch the video, but I don't want to. Anyways, he was in a blackout. So he now is saying he had no idea that he said those things and that he would have apologized sooner. And this is what this is his apology. But let me just also say, so he's acting belligerent at a California ski lodge, blocking people from getting on the ski lift, according to body cam footage and other videos obtained by TMZ. So they arrested him. Then he started slinging slurs. but so such a crazy like word to have in your back pocket it's not a popular slur no no he said i'm absolutely horrified by my behavior had i known i used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout i would have spoken up sooner the past few months of loss and displacement he lost his home in the fires have broken me down to a very low emotional place but that's no excuse for using this disgusting word from the bottom of my heart i apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts what came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage I've let the Jewish community down and it devastates me wait can I say that like I actually believe it like I forgive it no like I my only like reservation is that it's such an uncommon word that if you have it in your back pocket I imagine you say it quite a bit that's my only reservation because other than that like it's so random it wasn't hurled at a Jew not me like making so many excuses for Kelly Jo Osmond.
52:02But also like, I don't know. This is actually a really good apology. And that's the point of an apology, right? I hate that we've gotten to a place where someone apologizes and it means nothing. Agreed. And they're saying nothing and nobody's forgiving them and it doesn't move the needle. Like, I am someone who is open to apologies and forgiveness. And I want to keep that about myself. And as best as he could have apologized for this, he did. I've let the Jewish community down and it devastates me. Like, that seriously makes me want to cry. He said, I don't ask for anyone's forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.
52:32I don't know I'm like really willing to forgive and I don't know if that's because it was a well-written apology or because like I do have a like a deep connection to this man like his sister was Lily like this family means a lot to me I love Haley Joel Osment like that movie Secondhand Lions was so like how many times did we watch that movie growing up we loved that movie we did Emily Osment of course I said that already yeah thanks for listening no but I'm also just I know we're supposed to be like really mad at this right and like anti-semitism is on the rise and it's really it's really like fucking scary and terrible but it's like people are more mad about this than they are about a synagogue being burned down or Jewish people being beat up in the streets or the governor whose family they tried to burn alive oh my god I know and I'm more mad about those things than I and he's apologizing I feel that those things are more threatening to the like existentially to the Jewish people than Haley Joel Osment calling probably a nice Gentile cop.
53:31The K word. But I just I even if the cop was Jewish or non-Jewish, like it doesn't like affect or change what he did. Right. No, it does. Because if it first of all, it's difficult to know. I doubt this was like a Hasidic cop would pay us. You would know that he was visibly Jewish. So either his I'm going to argue that he wasn't. And like you just like when you're drunk and angry, like you say stuff. I feel like most people opt for like the F slur. Like men are always calling each other that word. Like the K one is so random, which is my only hesitation in being like completely forgiving. Cause like that might be a word you just like use a lot, you know, so like it slipped out, but you do, you know, you never know what comes out of the recesses of your brain when you're blacked out.
54:09So I don't know if anybody has any personal like experience with Haley Joel, like being an anti-Semite, feel free to chime in. But this person doesn't have like a long history. I'm inclined to think he was just like slinging words as a drunk and his apology like seems really heartfelt he seems really upset with himself and like I'm a forgiving person I don't know I like at first when I saw this I'm like oh my god crazy and another one another one literally but this apology seems meaningful as far as anti-semitic threats that we need to worry about like the list is so so long so by the time I get down to caring about Haley Joel.
54:46I'm too tired. Can I go to sleep? Right. Yeah, I don't know. I don't feel threatened by Haley Joel. I don't know. I just feel like he really feels bad and that he's not a Jew hater. Now, maybe I'm wrong. That really, that came through in his apology. Like, I feel like he really feels bad. And I feel like if we can forgive him. And now, like, I feel bad. I'm like, it's fine. If we can forgive him, that's, like, major for him. You know? For him, yeah. So, I think, fool me once, shame on me. It's true. So first I'm hearing of this, I am going to forgive him. I'm going to forgive him too. And it's funny.
55:19I feel like the people who will be maddest about this are like the people who don't give a shit about anti-Semitism. I mean, that's classic, right? I also feel like maybe our bar for anti-Semitism is just like higher these days. It's so high. So I'm okay. I'm letting this go. It's kind of the theme of today. We're letting things go. Yeah. Okay, Hallie Joel. crazy turn of events for you. I loved you in Entourage the movie. Yeah, me too. I always think about him in that movie too. Bitch, where's my story? Are you done with the stories? No, no, no. Your story's on my phone, bitch. Oh, you clicked off your iPad.
55:55I was like, oh, okay. My iPad was freezing and I wanted to look up Haley Joel. Got it. What did you want to look up about him? Like his movies. Well, people know him and love him from The Sixth Sense, which we never saw, but that was like his big acting debut as a child star. He was a very handsome young kid. and then he started secondhand lions which we loved but that's not what people know him from right and then on charge of the movie pay it forward oh my god that movie always makes me cry wait remind me helen hunt this is his mom right helen hunt kevin spacey wait and remind me what pay it forward is about the story of a social studies teacher who gives an assignment to his junior high school class to think of an idea to change the world for the better then put it into action when one young student creates a plan for paying forward favors he not only affects the life of his struggling single mother, but he sets in motion an unprecedented wave of human kindness, which unbeknownst to him has blossomed into a profound national phenomenon.
56:50Okay, I don't remember it, but I just remember being really impacted by that movie as a young girl. Me too. Oh my God, chills. I forgot about that movie. Toast Movie of the Week? Toast Movie of the Week. Next time we do one. Watch so you can see that it's bad, actually. Right, anti-Semitic. No, that was like everything we did for Toast Movie of the Week, like The Invention of Lying. Remember we were so excited. Yeah, everything we, Toast Movie of the Week was like a failed social experiment because it was supposed to be fun like going back to watch some of our faves and being like, oh man, you guys have never seen this movie.
57:18Let's all watch it together. Meanwhile, we just ended up looking stupid and embarrassed because every movie we chose sucked because you just remember, you just remember things differently like childhood films except Sleepover. It was the only one that held up. Yes. Julie, Julie Gorky. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I am because I found it and I'm excited about it. So the most popular MLB player walk-up songs of the season have been released. Now, are you familiar with walk-up songs? Ben was explaining it to me. It's a song that plays on the sound system when the player's walking up to bat.
57:49Yes, and it becomes like a real big part of like the culture of the team, the particular player. I thought that they didn't really change theirs, and Ben was explaining that Juan Soto for the Mets is like the best player, and his song is, I think it might be My Girl by The Temptations, or why do you build me up? Like one of those. And the stadium fucking loves it. Like it's great for team morale. And I thought you had the same one every time. But this list just came out and so many of them are contemporary songs. So I guess people are changing theirs. Yes. And the number one most popular, like I never would have guessed.
58:22The number one most popular walk-up song in the MLB is White Horse by Chris Stapleton. Which is like a one-year-old song. Okay, so then I saw that this morning and it inspired me to listen to Chris Stapleton while I got ready. It's honestly a great song. Like, it's really. Well, that's like the vibe I'm seeing of all these songs. Like, I'm surprised God's country is not on here. Like, it's very like. It is. Oh, yes, it is. Wow. Okay. Yeah. It's very like hard country. Yeah. Like, it's like where country meets rock and roll. Oklahoma. The number five song is 8 and 11 Oklahoma, which encapsulates this.
58:59Like, angry country. It's country that like converges on rock and roll. So, number one, White Horse. Number two, God's Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash. I don't even know that song. Yeah. I guess it's not like Johnny's biggest. No, it's not. Number three, The Stroke by Billy Squire. That's a good song because The Stroke. Yeah. And they're stroking. Very literal. Number four, God's Country. That's a great walk-up song. Yeah. Number five, Ain't No Love in Oklahoma. That would be mine. Yeah. Well, that is what I wanted to ask you. Like what would be your walk up song? And it wouldn't be 8 and 11 Oklahoma because like we're not baseball players.
59:39But like if we were walking up like kind of like walking on stage, what would your song be? Walking on stage or like I'm a baseball player. Can I be a baseball player? Okay, let's say you're a baseball player.
59:52My song. I'm looking at my Spotify quickly. Yeah, it's hard. Like what's a song that really encapsulates? I know what yours would be. What? Perfect Day by Hoku. No, but that's not me as a baseball player. No, not as a baseball player. That's what my question is. A song, you as you. Let's say you happen to be playing baseball. Me as me? Oh, well then, like, yeah, I'd have to go something swirly. But I like this exercise better. Something hard. Okay, fine. I mean, mine would be Brokenhearted by Carmen, obviously. Oh, my gosh. I want something hard. Yeah. Like, I like that genre. Oklahoma is a great song.
1:00:33I got to go to more baseball games. Seems like I'd really like the music. But I also feel like some of them could be doing like the greatest show, you know, a little theater in there. I also thought that I would have just assumed that like you can't have the same song as someone else, even though there's so many teams like what's stopping it. But it should be like everybody has to choose a unique one. The next one is Fine by Travis Scott featuring Playboy Cardi. What do you think is Shohei Otani's walk-up song? I'm going to look it up. I could probably find his picture in this. No, what if he's...
1:01:06Unless he's not in the popular songs. It's the bleachers don't take the money. I'm not sure what that song is. It's not on here. So us and Shohei don't have similar... What's Pete Alonzo's? All the other songs. Oh, and who's the one, the Game of Thrones guy? And he does Game of Thrones. Noah? Cinderard? Yeah, I think he walks up to Game of Thrones because he looks like... Jackie, he hasn't played on the Mets. like seriously. Well, I went to a Met game once and they play Game of Thrones because he looks like he's, you know, a wildling. OK, so I don't know what Pete says. It's Layla by Derek and the Dominoes.
1:01:40And the only other song on this list that I've heard of is Cowgirls by Morgan Wallen, which of all the Morgan Wallen songs, I'm surprised. It's not a good one. Someone someone for the Mets has Rolling in the Deep, which is kind of, oh, I guess like you want your your ball to go deep. Yeah, it's not the vibe. It's not the vibe. Somebody has fight for your right. that's like a classic.
1:02:04A lot of them, because I think a lot of baseball players come from Latin countries, they have a lot of Spanish music. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, I think I would stick with Brokenhearted by Carmen. Sound off in the comments. What would your walk-up song be? Thanks for that, Claudia. Was it everything you hoped for and more? It was. Did you feel like there was a good, fun, human interest, sporty Friday story? You know why I love diversifying the stories, and I'm never going to make it. And I thought it would give us a little bit more of an opportunity to sing. It didn't flush out like that, but it's fine.
1:02:38Let's dive into our final segment of the week, Queenie and Weenie of the Week. Jackie and I like to end every Friday with a little segment we call Queenie and Weenie of the Week where we give out two awards, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. They're pretty self-explanatory. It's not that big of a deal. Don't be sad if you find yourself one day being Weenie of the Week. It's a seven-day title. The next week you could be Queenie of the Week. It's yet to happen, but it's entirely possible. Now, Jacqueline, would you like to start us off with your Queenie of the Week? My Queenie of the Week, despite all the odds, my Queenies of the Week are the ladies of blue origin.
1:03:06Not because of what they did and whatever accomplishment they think they accomplished. They think. But because of the hate that they are withstanding. My Queenie, literally on my list, it says the women taking up space. Yeah, and being unabashedly, unashamedly cringey. no and like even despite all the hate like did you see gail like talking to a media interviewer about the hate like she they're they're not taking this lying down no and even if they're crying themselves to sleep at night like that they are putting on a strong face i think is queenie like behavior yes no one's gotten this amount of hate like in a long time so and i feel as though it's blown out of proportion and i was the first person to start hating like i can't stress that enough yeah but we were just like saying that the mission is they are not doing what they think that they're doing okay yeah like it just everyone's taking it too far especially oh my god and then you bring the eggs into it and it's just a lot like okay yeah said it like okay she said like but now like just making she said it before it was popular so like it was something people were thinking and then she said it which is what made it okay but then when like olivia wilde emily radikowski jessica chastain like you know what you're supposed to be you're like branding yourselves always feminist feminist and so for you to jump on like a woman hate train for something harmless like you're the problem no as if the price of eggs is their fault and if they could even change the fact that all those birds got bird flu like these apples and oranges i i feel like if you're at a place where you're like just constantly bringing up the price of eggs in your argument like you could always like you could always bring up the price of eggs it's a conversation it's an argument ender it is it's so true kim there's people that are dying like that's always people that are dying like and we could always talk about that but like if you put I'm not saying about a movie and I'm not saying like, oh, the price of eggs.
1:04:52I don't want to come see your movie. Correct. Very true. You know, I can say that about anything. So it's just a moot point. Agreed. Now, weenie of the week. I have a weenie. Unless we're talking about like the actual economy, you know? Oh, of course. No, no. If we are talking about the price of stuff. Yes, of course. The price of eggs is a very important. It's an important conversation piece. And the access to eggs. I saw white eggs in my kitchen. Oh, they gave me the release. Because we only buy brown eggs because white eggs are so unnatural. Oh, yeah. No, I never have white eggs. So you know there was a serious dearth at the store.
1:05:29I would seem sympathetic to the egg epidemic, but I just want to say I hate eggs. So it really hasn't affected me a lot. We use so many eggs. If they ever raised the price and there was a whole epidemic of chicken fingers, I would be in trouble. Yeah. Or baked ruffles. Oh, my God. My house would be in shambles. Yeah. But until that day comes, like, I'm chilling, you know? No, no, no. We've been affected by the eggs. And so I'm right there with you. Of course, you make your egg bites, omelets. It's just not a problem for me. Egg wash. And now I'm like using, I'm wasting an egg to make egg wash.
1:06:00And it doesn't feel the same. And you know, my husband loves omelets. But he, low-key, loves to use Bob Evans, like the eggs in a carton. That's like him and his garlic from China. Yes, exactly. There's a lot of really like lowbrow, tacky things about us. And I wouldn't have it any other way. now weenie of the week i i'm gonna say mine but i do want to give an honorable mention i almost chose jeff bezos like him jumping to the pod and falling is actually the definition of weenie we didn't even talk about the fact that the door opened and then they shut it so that like he could pretend they could have a media moment they could have a media moment and people are even saying so much as like that the whole thing was fake because of that no i think he just like wanted to be the one to open the door and they staged it but like did he not realize there were cameras on them and we could all see like that was so weenie yeah and then he fell right before that so like the whole five minute thing i need to give an honorable mention but no i know but like the door not open until he opens it when i think of the definition of weenie it's like twisting your ankle and falling in the ditch like honorable mention but my weenie and i i had her on my mind this entire week and nobody out we need her like it really was garcelle and then as of this morning she's like still making news she's unfollowed everyone except for jennifer tilly and kathy hilton who are both like you know she unfollowed sutton and the only thing i actually agree with garcelle on is a gripe she potentially has with sutton i think towards the other women she's being unreasonable right like you've never had a real friendship with them like why would they give you any grace and but sutton like jumping ship like she's so valid for being mad but her whole behavior at the reunion like walking off and and saying i'm really upset right now like nobody cared like weenie yeah understood my weenie is wendy's weenie wendy's weenie wendy's like i don't want to kill katie perry and i think it's gone too far i agree and i think that like that was definitely a shift for us that that tweet and then also yeah for sure like they took it too far and then them being like we love her and her out of this world music like either kill her or loved her say something you know what i mean for something but if someone who like said they wanted to kill me then was like and i love you i hate you even more it's real housewives behavior like i love you i hate you yeah agreed well i love my grandma i hate my grandma i don't know what our week would have been if it not had been for the blue origin job thing no i just so grateful warm thank you to everyone and I guess that means Jeff a warm thank you and a welcome back welcome home there's no place like home and thank you to Jeff for spearheading things such as this everyone else is like busy with like space exploration and saving the astronauts like important things yeah and advancing civilization but someone has to be doing the stupid stuff and for that we love you and we thank you hope everybody has an amazing weekend enjoy the beautiful weather happy Easter don't forget to let it go you know thank you so much for listening to the Just a Planet of Morning Show we deliver the fastest stories you need to everybody on YouTube if you're watching on YouTube please don't forget to subscribe because give it a thumbs up as well as the podcast will be found so that's Spotify iTunes it's your public radio by your guest box all the places of the podcast find us at Just a Five Story to be a better beautiful stunning and wickedly talented we are love ya bye
