Two Pregnant Swirlies: Friday, May 9th, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast and happy friday

0:41happy friday's coach della what a day i mean first of all let's just dive right in jackie with the drop of the century yesterday. Excuse me, Jackie. You dropped this. Thanks, Woe-jers, Woe-jers. Yes, I announced that I'm pregnant yesterday. It's such a crazy feeling to go from something being like the biggest secret in your life to then like the next day shouting it from the rooftops. It still feels wrong. It's just such a weird transition. I'm like, why is everyone talking about this stuff? We're not talking about it. But no, it's actually been really nice that everyone is like so excited and it's getting me even more excited.

1:23And I'm happy that I can finally share and like just be real. You know, my pants are unzipped. So if you see a little something, if you see something, say nothing. Oh, if you see something, say nothing. How about that? It's so great to have our big secret out in the open. And I say our yes, this is about me too. So not only as an extremely involved and dedicated auntie, but also as a fellow pregnant sister, like Martin and sister. We are preggers at the same time, which I think has been a dream of ours for so long, right? Like, obviously, I missed the boat the first couple of times. But when I say, like, I could not have planned the timing of this pregnancy better, like, and then you got pregnant.

2:12Yeah, no, it's very exciting. And we were like, we've just been so excited to like, we have one week to be pregnant on the show together. I know. Which we're going to have so much fun next week. Next week is going to be so swirly. Like what we've already streamed of. Literally. So it is a fun energy. But like, I was talking to Shannon recently, as one does. And we were saying like, I don't feel like, and people are like, that's so special. You're pregnant with Claudia. I'm like, I don't feel like I'm pregnant with Claudia. Like we are on just such different pages right now. Yeah. Like the stages that we're in could not be more different.

2:43but it counts we got it technically we got it in yes we are but i'm just saying it really doesn't feel like what you would think yeah no we like so many people like friends have texted me that i'm like yeah it's so nice like it's just it's not it doesn't feel that way except every time we talk we are both like in bed no matter what time makeup off pajamas on 2 p.m like we are both we're having calls we're taking our merch calls we are both in the bed yeah yeah that's true so on that we're on the same page but I do look forward to getting out of the bed soon and hopefully feeling better soon that would be nice yeah like having energy have you like bounced back from the first trimester you're still kind of like it's it's not people they make it seem like just one day it's over it's such a slowly slow phase out of the first trimester that like you don't even realize you feel better because like you don't no weirdly a few days this week I felt worse than I ever have like like racks of saltines like I barely busted out the saltines I like forget that that's a good option but like so unwell so I don't know if it's like one last big hurrah before the before it starts to get better but um no it hasn't happened yet but you know every day I woke up like hopefully today's the day um but we'll see I mean the good news is is that I feel my best in the mornings that's when the world needs me the most so I'm here for the thirst and but there were times like in the beginning when after he did the toast like I seriously could have fallen asleep on this chair you're telling me I I hear you I don't feel entirely that way anymore which is great and just looking forward to like new and different feelings you know because it's always it's constantly evolving and it gets better in some ways but then harder in other ways and we've really been plugging our patreon because you know in the next couple of months while the toast is in a bit of like a flex mode the patreon will be buoying so many of you and if there was ever a reason to join maybe a little early before maternity leave join now jackie dropped a bomb ass vlog which featured you know not like me when i was announcing my pregnancy i'm like okay i'll do one video for the announce and then one video for the gender reveal and one video for this and jackie put it all in one video you want sisters reactions check you want gender reveal check like it's all in one you want update like what what about sir clutch what about jackie's cervical incompetence right um it's all there she didn't make you wait like i did no i like putting it all together that's also because i like how that's how i like to receive stuff um so yes the gender is there i'm three for three on that like i'm always just like i'm pregnant here's the gender even people were texting me like what's the gender could you tell me i'm like yeah here there you go yeah right oh and will i say it right now say it right now no no no no head to patreon.com slash the toast until it slips out one day so it's a really good time to support women in media.

5:30Of course, the Patreon's always popping off today specifically. And then in the next couple of weeks, we've been batching some really great content. We're going to be doing our regular daily, not daily, weekly show during my maternity leave in July and August on Patreon. So it's never a bad time to spend$7.99. Highly recommend you signing up for Patreon on a computer. If you sign up on your phone in the Patreon app, Apple will charge you an extra$3,$4. That seriously, we don't see. So head to patreon.com on a computer. Also, we recorded a super fun Patreon episode yesterday that's going to go live in a few weeks.

5:58we have like some may dates where there's no toast episodes but there will be patreon episodes so just now's the time i feel like you might have been on the fence you might say what is this patreon never heard right i've never been to this website it's just patreon.com slash you literally just like click sign up and you enter a login and that's it you have access to literally 300 episodes that we've done over the last seven years i feel like it sounds more intimidating than it is like a secret club it's really not it's just a website yeah and then you also get access to our facebook group which is just like an extra bonus some people some people spend the seven dollars and 99 cents a month just to get into the Facebook room yeah that's also which I respect

6:34um I don't want to like switch gears to tell you the thing that happened to me this morning unless you're like fully done you know I can be done because um I left it all in the vlog I look forward to it's like it's your it's your pre-fast five banter today no I know but it's okay I look forward to updating you guys as I have updates so like if you want to talk about something else like I could always bring it back to me if I feel the need but I have an idea talk about the thing that happened to you. I'll give you before. You're going to be interested in the thing that happened to me this morning, but before I do, I just had an idea.

7:03Okay. When you come to New York, we have one week together being pregnant on the toast. Okay. I think we have to do a dual maternity shoot. Oh, yeah. Because I'm kind of against it because I hate my body. But if we did dual, we honestly probably would end up looking like a lesbian couple who are both carrying babies but I'm down I'm seriously down it's true I actually as much as I want you to do maternity photos and I would not that bad okay like I'm not interested okay but I will send you on a mystery what's it called ride we used to do those at camp it was like the evening activities of mystery bus ride and like it was usually the same three places like the movies bowling or whatever but I love the concept of a mystery bus ride I did one for my like 28th birthday I took everybody to chelsea pierce they loved it i'm gonna send you on a mystery bus ride to a maternity shoot okay but you have to be the only way i'll do it is if you're also modeling like maybe i'll jump into a photo like annie in the parent trap but maybe we could just ask ai to make it for us that like sounds frightening i like when it comes to photos ai doesn't have the eye they don't have the ai okay so permission to just quickly tell you about what happened to me this morning it better be good.

8:22I thought you said last night. It is. It is. Okay. So Ben and I woke up super early this morning and it's like kind of a gross day outside. So we were just like making plans. You mean it's like eh. Yeah exactly. We were like planning dinner and he was like do you have time like to get breakfast before the toast. I'm like yeah. It's always like a nice little treat you know. Especially I'm really trying to get in all my meals because once Bebe is here like I'm not gonna be eating the way that I've been eating. So I treated myself to pancakes. Yeah right. Like seriously you're gonna be hungrier than ever and more deserving than ever okay like diet doesn't start the day you give birth i just hope you know no no no no but i will be making better and more different choices not like a hundred percent back to the way i was but like it's not gonna be as i think you should just like let go of that expectation like oh really yeah give yourself time like stop you're so toxic okay fine fine so we go to like the most random diner like seriously I don't know why we ate at this place like it was honestly terrible like so random we're in the middle of the most random we sit down I'm in the seat that's like facing the restaurant so I can see everything Ben's looking at like the bathroom and I actually filmed Ben's reaction I'm like Ben I'm about to tell you the craziest thing I have to just film you while I tell you I said Ben what if I told you that one of the Brunson boys is right behind you his friend or Jalen Brunson?

9:39One of the members of the Brunson boys chat. Okay. He was like, he was like, well, I wouldn't believe you. I'm like, well, turn around. Jack was right there. A fellow Brunson boy. It was actually the - Jack has been unmasked. It was actually the weirdest thing like to see someone you know, like - What diner was it? Like just a rant, like if I told you, you wouldn't even know it. Like it was such a random hole in the wall. And - Yeah, she lost a hole in the wall. Yeah, I'm not like, I'm so chill. I mean, we just grab a slice and we go to home in the wall. We just grabbed a pancake. Let me tell you, Ben was regretting ever asking me to be a chill, grab a slice girl.

10:16It was one of the most disgusting meals we'd ever had. But to see a Brunson boy out in the wild, it truly feels actually like the world revolves around. Do you feel like everybody's talking about the Brunson boys? I do. But did he say anything about the publication of the Brunson boys? Does he know? How did the Brunson boys feel about their newfound fame? Of course they found out because we posted a clip about it. God forbid any of them ever like, you know, listen to my show and support me. No, but I'm sure like there's a wife that does. A girlfriend. Maybe, but that's not how they found out. They found out from the clip that we posted on the toast.

10:48They posted it in the chat and they were like giggling about it. They love it. Like they're famous. Even I call them weenies. Yeah, but I don't think that part made the clip. So this part that won't. Oh, did it? It did, but maybe they didn't watch the whole thing. Yeah. They just were like, whoa, Brunson Boys. Global stage. Big things. And then we ran into a Brunson boy this morning. The Brunson boy doesn't even live near us. Like, it was so crazy. The world revolves around the Brunson boys. That's for sure. Yeah. That's for damn sure. And actually, I feel like everybody's talking about, like, more so the Knicks.

11:21Because they're headed home tomorrow. And if they win this game, which they very well could, the next game, I think, would be on Monday. And it would be their chance to beat the Celtics completely. And it's also the same night that the Yankees and the Mets are playing each other at Yankee Stadium. But it's the first time. I guess one of these huge Yankees player, Juan Soto, he last this is a couple of months ago. He before the season started, got traded to the Mets. So this is like his big homecoming. Like they say they're going to call need to call in the National Guard for what's going to happen.

11:56Potentially in New York on Monday. Interesting. We'll watch this space. Yeah you better like seriously hide your kids Hide your wife lock your doors I feel like we should go to one of the games Maybe not you but maybe me Why? Because you literally said two days ago You don't want to go to anything Yeah but if you're going Even if someone said they wouldn't talk to you But they would give you a free ticket No but you're going so like I have to go Like if it's a fourth And potentially final game at MSG Like and I'm in town I should go with you in the Brunson. 1 ,000%. Even though Ben said like the worst seats in the house are$2 ,000.

12:35Interesting. Well, that makes sense. But also, we should get a suite like for the Brunson boys like sponsored. Oh my God. That's actually so crazy that you said that because this morning I was thinking about how much we've monetized the Brunson boys. Like sponsored by, honestly, W should sponsor the Brunson boys. Jake Paul should sponsor a suite for us to bring the Brunson boys and give them like the night of their lives. Like kind of like make a wish. Literally. W Jake Paul's brand get in touch we have plans or manscapes let's think of like the male brands that we work with that you know would like to work with us and we'll like pick them up in a limo like we'll make it like a really bust right yes oh my god like we'll make it like a really special night for the b the b squared yeah love that oh my god that would be so cute if any brand doesn't have to be male centric of course not it could be free partnership idea could be quince I really want it to be W Honestly Yeah but if you want to Have an amazingly viral moment Really get your brand out there Maybe Jake Paul's betting app He has like a sports betting app Better Maybe Prime takes us You know I have the Prime hookup I'm non-denominational Like I'll go with any brand Yeah I also have the Feastables hookup And then TikTok would love us Because anytime there's like a brand trip People are like you should bring real people like nurses okay like these guys like one of them one of them's a lawyer like they're regular people like let's see if anybody cares about a brand trip of civilians we're doing it that is so funny i'm so tired of that rhetoric like i'm so tired of brands gifting influencers free products like give it to the the regular girl okay and who does that help besides the regular girl like yeah it doesn't help the brand like i'm just so over it that's just not how the world works like yeah it would be nice if all of the it would be nice if hunger was solved like but it's not yeah and i'm sure brands do donate a lot of product just because like they would otherwise throw it away like i think they just like happen to also donate stuff and i feel like every time they these days every time they do gift they also do like a donation component you know just to like offset right their carbon footprint um but it's just never enough so sorry for like quickly let's put the track the tracks back to you like that's my story I saw Bronson Boy in the wild this morning back to you how are you feeling back to me I'm I'm good I'm excited I've got a lot coming up we have a very busy month together like very exciting things work things personal so it's just um it's a busy time you know it is it's a great time to be a toaster like so much happening in the toasty world we have so many fabulous guests I guess co-hosts booked for a maternity leave like I literally were booked up and the it's still coming in.

15:23People want to get in. People want to get in, so I'm like, I'm trying to move things around, but like, Seats Taken. Seats Taken. Oh my god, there is a bar by one of our doctor's offices. It's called Seats Taken? No, but the way you said it reminded me. It's called Shaken Not Stirred. That's just the name of the bar. Seats Taken. No. But the logo, the A in shaken is a martini glass, which looks more like a Y than an A. Me and Ben walked past it. We're like, Shiken! I can't with you. It's such a bad logo. I like the concept of using the martini as a Y. So you needed a different name for your bar, something that had a Y.

16:07An A is Shiken! I'm going to be okay. It pisses me off. No. Every time we drive up, we're like, Shiken? But a martini glass does look like a Y. Yeah, and they're having it be an A. Oh, you're right. Sorry. I just froze your point. Thank you. No, it's a cute concept if your bar was called like Barry's. I don't know. Don't ask me why that came to mind. But like with a little martini at the end. Yeah. Yeah. Or like Brunson Boys with a martini. Love. We need to get them to meet Jalen Brunson. Okay, so you know Jalen Brunson is like kind of Jewish. His wife is like a big Jew. Is she a toaster? I'm pretty sure Ben like knows her I'm sorry she's been listening to all of this and she hasn't reached out so maybe she has I haven't I like Ben is like tight with her we don't know we never check her messages um and I'm sure she's like super busy it's like a very like high stress time for her right you know but you would think that's when she would want a reprieve like yeah let me just call it my girls yeah let me just call it the swirlies for a little bit of lols So there is like a yeshivish connection To Brunson as well which is nice Oh okay we'll definitely explore this further Yeah yeah yeah And feel free brands just to reach out directly We'll check our messages we promise We will But if you're like a high level brand Like you know how to reach us Get in touch We work with brands every day Have your people call our people We work with brands every day Call Michael Bostic Curve call Bruno Oh if anything was going to give away The fact that I was pregnant oh it's Bruno's energy it's the fact that Bruno has not left my side on the show for the last few weeks whereas he used to never come on the show because I've seen people being like I knew Jackie didn't go on any rides at Disneyland like she doesn't go on rides at Disneyland even before she got pregnant so that was not like a tell but I haven't seen anyone say anything about Bruno so many people sent me their texts with their friends from like the day I went to Disney or whatever like I think Jackie's pregnant like she didn't go on the rides and she's not eating the food I'm not a rides person Jackie won't even scroll on her phone in the car that's how nauseous she gets.

18:17That's like a ride to me. If you're looking for Jackie and she's in a long car ride you cannot find her. No and I was like so early like nothing that happened at Disney like happened because I was pregnant. Like I'm sorry to tell you like you didn't crack the case. But then there were like other things. I forget what people said that was like a giveaway but I also felt like I wasn't I was too tired to try and hide it. Being in your first trimester is so hard because you so desperately want to hide it but you also cannot care. Yeah. Like the fact that you got up that day is a miracle Right so just was doing my best But yeah that one was not a tell It would have been the exact same Yeah pregnant or not pregnant Pregnant or not pregnant But Bruno has been the ultimate tell And nobody even said that Nobody said I knew it when Bruno would not leave your side Nobody said that either But you know that he's a doula Yeah Brula Brula the doula So yes that's how you know Look at him You know, it's Friday, which means Queenie and Weenie, which I'm really excited about.

19:19I've had mine for a couple of days. They haven't changed, which is exciting. So if it's okay with you, I'm fine to dive in. Yeah, I'm fine. We've got a lot to do like today at a glance, not even on the show, like just in general. So might as well hop to it. Without further ado-da-da-da-doo, it is time for the Fast Five Stories That You-Dot-Do Need to Know. And the Fast Five Stories That You-Dot-Do Need to Know is brought to you by Hulu and the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. so the wait for more episodes of our absolute favorite show of last year jack and i actually both ranked it when we did our year recap was it both our number one shows of the year last year remember we did our end of year recap yeah yeah um the wait is almost over it's coming back to hula with an all-new season on may 15th that's actually really soon that's literally wednesday so we'll finally get to find out what's going on with our favorite saints and sinners are taylor and dakota still together hopefully not are jen and zach still dealing with the aftermath of their trip to Vegas?

20:12I think so. Will Whitney be let back into the group after her actions last season? I'm also hoping not. Plus, Demi and Jesse are finding out all three things. Well, I'm just saying I'm hoping Demi and Jesse are finding themselves in quite a bit of drama. Layla has a shocking discovery and Miranda's arrival to the group to clear up the swinging scandal finally is happening. Yeah, she's new and she's like a part of if you were there like on Mom Talk at the time. She's a major player. Okay. So this is kind of this is not to sound corny, but I don't know if MomTalk can survive this. Yeah. Once again.

20:48So find out if MomTalk is going to survive this on May 15th. So don't miss the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives coming to Hulu on May 15th. I cannot wait. That's such a good show to have like in my back pocket while I'm just like waiting around. Maybe I'll watch it in the hospital. um cannot wait that's may 15th today's episode is also brought to you by true fruit so very excited that jackie and i are um working with true fruit i actually was just watching an instagram story set of ours where we were laying in your bed trying to get our husbands to answer their phones because we wanted them to bring us true fruit do you remember that and they like wouldn't answer we were like screaming from your bed that is so funny no but that sounds about right we are true fruit loyalists jackie put them on to me add it to the list and starting on may 4th target now has all the TrueFru flavors in their freezer aisle.

21:36So the girlies in the TrueFru office are all toasters. They knew how toasty we are when it comes to TrueFru and how all the swirlies are shopping at Target these days. And so make sure to stock up on your TrueFru. So starting this month, all the flavors will be available in the freezer aisle at Target. I think a lot of times people can't find the flavors that they want at certain stores. And now that Target has all of them, it's just kind of huge. If you don't know what TrueFru is, they take perfectly ripe fruit, They coat it in insanely good dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and then flash freeze it to lock in all the goodness.

22:08It's different because it has no artificial flavors and no weird stuff. It's just real fruit, chocolate, and magic. It's kind of one of the go-to snacks that I have when I'm being good on my diet and when I'm being bad because it fits in both categories. It's so delicious. I eat it like really 24-7, 365. You can find all the flavors of true fruit in the Target freezer aisle. It's a perfect post-ditter treat, midday pick-me-up. It's really – it's the sweet treat before bed. Like to me, that's when TrueFru, I like to take like a big handful and put it in like a cup and then just sort of like. You can't let them melt in your hand.

22:37Right. Spend the night doing that. So once you try TrueFru, you will wonder how fruit ever existed without chocolate. Grab your friends or anyone you love. Head to Target Freezer Isle to try all the flavors of TrueFru or your online grocery shoppers can buy TrueFru at Target.com.

It's also a great Mother's Day gift to get like your mom, like a year of Vivrell membership. Super thoughtful. Yeah, that's me. Our first story, They have elected a new Pope Is American I feel like we literally manifested this When we were talking about the Pope who passed And then we were talking about the process of the conclave We were wondering Had there ever been an American There hadn't I just feel like we put this out into the universe I didn't even know it was a possibility until we talked about it Yeah but maybe it was also just like America's time You know because we have been a country For 250 years Is that where we're at right now I think we're considered young.

24:56Right. We are young. And like the Pope has been happening for like a thousand years. So like, yeah, that's why three quarters of it they're not going to take from this rando new country. But I think now we're pretty established. And we're like kind of a major superpower, I would say. Yeah. So it was bound to happen. Cardinal Robert Prevost announces of Pope Leo XIV he will make history, not herstory, let's just be clear, as the first American Pope. so Pope Leo comes out of Chicago that's his chosen name yeah his sort of his stage name if you will I would love to know why you know but Leo must be like one of his favorite saints or like a story you know like yeah no I'm sure there's a story behind especially if he's the 14th one that means there were 13 prior that he obviously was popular um Pope Rob would have been cute and I don't know if it's just because he's American and it feels familiar but like his face like I feel like I know this guy you know like yeah but i just i will say over the course of the conclave and this process since pope francis passed rip um i've kind of like fallen for a couple different popes or cardinals along the way the one from jerusalem the one from jerusalem pizza pizza yeah i was we were all rooting for you i was i was rooting for him too and he was actually like he wasn't a rando like he had lots of fans that's a strong choice he was a legit contender yeah so i'm kind of like bummed for the people I was rooting for.

26:24There were a couple that I met along the way that I was like, you seem like you've got what it takes, the elk of a pope. Instead, we got Pope Robert, which I didn't know him before, but I'm, of course, a proud American. And 1000 % you're happy to see one of your countrymen up there in the highest honor doing his thing for the papacy. Yeah. So I think it's very exciting. I also feel like the entire process start to finish was quite swift so this was a short one um usually like i don't know how many times in the past but every day or i don't know how frequently they vote and if they don't reach a consensus they send out black smoke so usually there's like a couple of black smokes there was just one and then the second one was white smoke meaning they've elected a new pop who do you think did you see harry styles at the vatican that was what i was gonna say next but who do you think was like the second one who like there was black smoke that day because it was between the two oh i don't know runner up and what does he do now like that was his chance yeah and yeah this pope is 69 years young young so i think there's it could be a big future for him i'm glad no this is really a huge day for america i don't know like the real intricacies politically like i i've seen discourse being like oh he's too progressive he's too conservative which honestly people are saying both sounds like he's pretty like standard right down the middle yeah um so i'm not gonna claim to know like what the whole vibe is but happy to be represented in the vatican as an american what was harry styles doing there yeah so there's a picture going viral of what appears to be harry styles like in the crowd at as a nobody like not with security he's just like wearing a baseball hat so i don't think it's him oh because also people forget harry styles is jewish he's like part jewish but maybe he was like in rome for work or whatever and this is a major historical moment so you wade over to the vatican to see what happens yeah but you're not going like to you're not fleeing your country to go to rome during a conclave unless you're catholic but if you're already there i just it does sort of look like a random roman man oh you don't think let me study the photo hold on i'm looking at this page six article the only thing that is that he's wearing a coat that looks very similar to a coat he wore out and about in London last month.

28:45So that's actually like pretty. Jackie, it is 100 percent, Harry. Like, I don't even know what you're talking about. I don't know. I feel like anyone could look like that. Like of all the global citizens of the world. Wait, why is nobody talking about the hat? Techno is my boyfriend. Right. That's kind of a Taylor Swift reference. Is it? Karma is my boyfriend. Oh, that's like an no everything is my boyfriend techno okay okay i mean it's how did this how was there only one photo i think he really blended

29:20the papacy yeah i don't know i don't need more i think it's him i need like sunglass confirmation or like confirmation that he has that hat or that he's currently rocking a big old mustache Mustache. Yeah, mustache. Or that he's in Rome. Or that he's particularly interested in the Babaji. Well, I think that he could be interested in just history. I'd walk over there if I were in Rome. 1000%. Even though I was in Rome and everybody was doing a tour of the Vatican and I was like, you know what, guys? Not on the day they elected a new pope. No, no. Oh, but if I was in Rome, the day they elected...

29:56Right. That's what I'm saying. You would not be able to stop me. They've elected a new pope. Right. Yeah, if I were in Rome, I don't know if I would visit the Vatican to depend on the schedule. On the day they elect a new pope, you get your ass there. I feel like I need to rewatch Eurovision now that I know so much about the papacy and conclave. Because I feel like the whole scene where they accidentally light this chimney on fire would probably hit harder. Yeah, you should. Yeah. Rewatch it. We can project. Don't work too hard, Claude. Don't work too hard. I seriously work way too fucking hard.

30:32Are you ready for our next story? Someone else is working hard. Hoda Copy is on the list to take over Kelly Clarkson's talk show after her Today Show exit. Okay, I just want to say, like, this is a hard story for me because I'm holding space for my two queens. But I don't like that we're having these types of conversations, like, about Kelly. Like, it's like, it's a body even cold yet. She hasn't announced, like, anything. We don't know that she's not, in fact, coming back. We don't know. And, like, why are we saying stories like this? Like, calm down. Well maybe it's because it's real No I'm just saying like I don't like it I kind of like it I don't know why Like the show has been amazing for Kelly If she did it forever I would be Cheering her on but I'm also like Ready for what's next for her you can't like keep her in a box You can't keep her down and like It holds her back as a pop star Yeah I could see her having like A cooking show one day or like a whole Like I don't know I just feel like maybe she's ready For and you know I like change so I just feel like maybe she's ready for what's next I don't disagree that It puts her in a box and I think when it comes To like even it's just It's such a big national platform But like I think that You know she didn't tour chemistry the album and I think Maybe the album suffered a little bit because like Her priority is this daily show Yeah I just think like before We start filling her shoes like let's give Her the courtesy of announcing First yeah well they're saying Hoda's Being considered as a potential candidate to replace Kelly amid rumors that the singer is exiting her show well i love it like hoda is perfect yeah and we also said like what's hoda gonna do next this would be like a major step up for hoda to have her own show although it does give the meredith vieira show um they just remind me of like america sweethearts i think she was also the today show um meredith and that was kind of a flop so it's like daytime such a tough thing to crack because this is like obviously hoda is going to be successful it's going to be the biggest show but i could also see it like not working because you never know what's going to work in daytime yeah it's true and i could see i could see i don't know i think kelly clarkson's like celebrity aspect was also but hoda has a lot of celebrity friends but i don't know like kelly yokey she just had like a little bit more than the average she's very dynamic yeah she's not just a talker she's a singer um and so it added i actually think like the kelly yokey and the singing elements is is what brought a lot of people to the show not kelly's you know keen interviewing skills yeah so we shall see but I think this like is a good they're trending in the right direction and it would have to be like if Hoda wants to do it because we don't really know why she left today's show yeah there were rumors that they just like weren't paying her like in her contract negotiations like what she wanted and enough for her to stay yeah um but you don't just give up like a beloved talent like that unless it's her decision I think it was her decision that's what page six is saying that like NBC never wanted Hoda to leave the question is will she want to do it yeah well Hoda also talks a lot about how she became a mom later in life and like these years are really important to her yeah but the hour that Kelly Clarkson show films like maybe they're in school no it's much more mother-friendly and I also think you can batch episodes yeah it's when you're like a live correspondent you're at the helm of I know in the morning like you're out of the house before they leave and you're before they wake up yeah you don't even see them in the morning like that's really tough yeah I agree are you ready for our next story yeah Leah Michelle is making news she went on therapist as we talked about yesterday and she admits to a fractured relationship with her glee cast after um Cory Monteith's death so I feel like this was the first interview I've ever seen Leah Michelle like actually let her guard down in you know like she just seemed very she always seems very um very Rachel Berry right like putting on a front and very concerned about her image and not that she's lying or anything but just that you know you're being really careful um and this just felt very relaxed I felt like for the first time she was like talking about things like in an honest actual way yeah but there's no point on going on a podcast agreed you could give an interview to like something random or a magazine right and like keep your walls up and ask these specific questions but if you're going to go on a podcast like there's no point in doing it if you're not going to like open up and especially if you could choose wherever you go and so she chose to do Jake Shane like she obviously felt safe and is like right I'm going talk about things that I haven't talked about and I think she must feel incredibly misunderstood because she's just like gotten such a bad rap at this point I do feel like she's misunderstood that's a good way of putting it yeah so it's like you know what I'm gonna give it a shot to like let you guys know who I am yeah and see if it works see if it works I think so far it is so this is what she had to say she admitted that Corey Monteith's death in 2013 led to her having a fractured relationship with her fellow cast members she he had asked whether the co-stars banded together in a tight-knit way after the tragedy and she quickly replied no she said I think in some ways it did for certain people but I think that for me it was so hard I just completely broke I was really in a one-track mind of just doing my job it was way too much to process at a young age but I'm very grateful for everyone there whether or not they know it I personally felt a lot of support from everybody in the building helping me to get through she expressed gratitude to the crew members for helping her get through too but she also said she was having such a hard time because she felt like she wasn't allowed to stop and had to keep going because like if she she said if we didn't show up for work then people wouldn't have work to go to that was a lot of pressure for me I had to put my stuff aside and show up so that everybody could just continue to work yeah I don't know if I would have assumed that after Cory Monteith's deaths like everybody got super close like the cast was already like kind of dramatic and fractured and that's just like in an ideal world like yes we all lean on each other we love and peace and let's sing a song but it's like not how people deal with stuff and I think a lot of times people just like sort of close in on themselves and want to be alone and that's clearly how leah michelle dealt with it and just like went to work and also when work is so triggering like some people throw themselves into work right but work is where you were with your fiancee cory on the show do a whole episode like singing about him that's really hard and she said a lot of like the ogs weren't there anymore because they had like graduated by that point so it wasn't like the the room the people who grew up with cory yeah it was a little bit more splintered and that just must have been a really hard time and so i she doesn't address like it on their face like the mean girl accusation rumors but i can imagine how someone who's like going through this and feeling very like isolated and stressed could come off as like a mean no but also if she was mean before that which i'm sure she was like diva licious energy and then she goes through this big thing and she's not right and everybody's like getting together to like you know lean on each other and she's not getting involved it's like well she's such a mean girl you know yeah so it didn't help yeah but I'm sure she was mean before that like oh for sure I mean she's like so talented I do think she was like very Rachel Berry I'm sure she's very different now and she's like been through a lot of different stuff getting canceled really humbles you becoming a mom really like humanizes you passing away she's definitely not even close to like the monster that she was but you have to like think she was like kind of plucked from obscurity I know she had success on broadway but like nobody knew her on in a global sense and she just became this fucking star and she was young and she knew how talented she was and she became a monster 1000 like literally rachel berry like very motivated very driven very sure of herself because she's one track mind incredibly talented yeah and she's young like she was definitely like 1000 like a nasty bitch i could see it yeah but even a nasty bitch deserves a second chance coach don't you think 1000 % 1000 % yeah so I think this will be good for her let me know how how the streets what the streets are saying the streets are just like no one's talking about this moment they're talking about her talking about the the reading rumors about her literacy yes which um you know better late than never her finally like getting in on the joke um and this is just something like whenever the internet talks about it like you're guaranteed to make waves and have people care I'm over it Like we've I've just I've been knowing about the conspiracy theory since like the day it started.

38:32I've been following it since the beginning. And I'm just like I don't think it's so funny anymore. Like I'm over it. Do you think that maybe she waited so long to talk about it so that like she could learn how to read over the last few years? And then she wouldn't be lying. And then she came out and she read public. And it's like of course I know how to read. How silly are all of you? But the truth was that four years ago she didn't know how. And that's why she didn't do it. That's why she did live reading. Right. And so she's not technically lying now by saying she knows how to read. but she's not saying that she didn't know how to read back then i'm just saying it like it kind of took a long time for her to come forward with this and in that time she could have learned how to read yes i think it took her so long because she's like so stubborn and like thought it was so stupid and be beneath her to even address um but that's a good theory too i like yours yeah not saying that that's the case i'm just saying she's leaving a little bit of space for the conspiracy theorist to still be right because it's like no when we said it you couldn't read do you feel like learning to read as an adult is like, ow, oh my God, big kick, sorry.

39:31Do you feel like learning to read as an adult is like a really hard thing to do? I don't know, because it's like kids do it, so wouldn't that mean that we can do it in like one day? Yeah, but like we do it as our brains are developing, so it becomes a part, like - I don't know. I don't know what it's like to learn how to read later in life, but I actually feel like it would be kind of challenging. Yeah, but is it easier than when you're a child? But it's also about like learning new languages. They say it's easier to learn a new language when you're younger versus when you're older. However, I don't know.

40:04Something about it's like, well, your brain's bigger now. Can't you do it? Yeah, right. But it's also harder to learn. Like, I feel like if I had to learn how to swim now, I wouldn't do it. Well, that's also a mental thing. Like, I wouldn't be able to. Fear. The fear. Yeah. Like. Yeah. When you're fearless, it's easier to learn how to do stuff. like driving right and then it becomes just like innate to you and then by the time you realize like the thing you're doing you're like oh i could do this in my sleep i would love to know what it's like to learn how to read today ask leah hello are you ready for our next story our fourth story yeah interesting new lemmy ads starring courtney kardashian and julia fox julia strips down in a bathtub for a tantalizing new kardashian ad so julia fox slipped into a bubble bath for a sultry new ad to promote a mysterious new product from courtney's lemmy brand the video was released yesterday julia is examining a purple bottle as she is soaking in the tub she's then on the phone with courtney saying court are you seducing me and then court they don't say what like the launch is she said no you you will love it it's our new cut blank but like okay curious what the launch is i'm sure it's like something to do with like sexual wellness more interested in the fact that the family's bringing in julia fox yeah it's not that crazy given like what they've done historically right like the black china of it all you know this is like an incestual type of family and they they like are it's not like this is bianca sensori right like they're technically on the same side like they're both just like exes of this freak no i don't know i feel like they i mean i I don't know what this means, but if I would have thought if you asked me about this yesterday, I would think that the family really wouldn't like her because she literally only got famous because of him.

41:58And. It's just like a. Yeah, but I feel like they don't. I feel like they would respect that. Like, that's kind of their formula. I don't know. I don't know if they would be bothered by that. But Julia, like to me, is like very nonthreatening and kind of harmless to the Kardashians. Maybe there was a time where she wasn't. but she's definitely been she's but i just feel like they would like i don't know just not be about it look down yeah like at the ick but i obviously i'm wrong because they're working together but i'm just like i'm shocked by this or maybe they do feel that way but like marketing is marketing look we're talking about a new let me drop have we ever done that all the time we have yeah i guess i don't know but like it's effective like a shock marketer like like i i still don't think they would bring in someone who they hate they hate a lot of people they would know by the This is 100 % like Simon Huck's idea.

42:47You're right. Kourtney doesn't think like this. Yeah. So maybe Kourtney doesn't even know who she is. No, they obviously filmed it separately because they're in two different sets. So they said, Kourtney, here's your script. We got a model on the other end. Literally. I do feel like I need to know more. I could see this being a storyline on Kardashians because it's just like a promotion for one of their businesses and talking about like innocuous drama. Like it's kind of the perfect thing that they would talk about on the show. And you know what? it's kind of following the skims model where skims obviously does all these different like model partnerships and a lot of times we're like always talking about like the celebrity dynamics of it all like when lana del rey or uh britney mahomes or sabrina carpenter did like we're always talking about like what does this mean for like the behind the scenes and so maybe this is just lemmy's take on that because it is a really smart way we're always talking about it what like why would we be talking about some random companies new drop yeah yeah i don't know it's just so out of the box to me it is but that like that's what the kardashians do like they care most about their bottom line not really courtney no but also like when you say sabrina or lana delvay like those are all big figures and yeah that's it makes sense you want to get a big name for your brand like to go into the drama pool and take someone out your own drama pool your own drama pool that's different i know it's just so much has happened since then like i don't even remember like it It would be like Kim doing a campaign with Blac Chyna at this point.

44:14Yeah, which is within the realm of things the Kardashians would do. Or like Amber Rose. In the realm of things the Kardashians would do. But there's the realm of things Kim would do and the realm of things Kourtney would do. This is definitely, I feel like Kim and Kourtney are maybe getting close because this feels like Kim rubbing up on Kourtney. Or they're fighting and she's getting back at her by putting Julia Fox in an article. No way. She had Kim's approval. I'm just saying I don't think Kim thinks of Or loses sleep Or thinks anything of Julia Fox Honestly Maybe there was a time Me neither I just need more information And then I also want to know What the Product is What the product is Because she has like A sexual wellness one already Yeah she already has Like a vagina one Yeah She has like two So maybe it'll make more sense To us when we know What the product is Yeah maybe it's like Fox tablets Yeah You know there's like lion's mane.

45:09That's like a thing. Fox mane. Unless it's fox mane. I have so many more questions. But if it's fox mane I would say oh that makes sense Julia Fox. Well hopefully all will be revealed. I need to know more. Just saying. Or like we need to get the tea. Text Simon. Honestly yeah. I'm like can I just spoil the lodge for Julia Fox. Like for you and I. I just like I'm very curious now.
