Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday. Congratulations. Congrats, greens. Hope everybody's sort of, you know, feeling proud of themselves, tapping themselves on the backs. Mazel tov. Congrats. You did it.

It doesn't really feel like a Friday. I haven't entered that Friday head space yet.

I hate to be, like, an ungrateful wench. Cause I feel like every day we get on this show and we're, like.

Just hoping and wishing that would be Friday.

Hunting and fishing and loving every day. And then we get here, and I don't know. I don't want to be, like, ungrateful. Biting the hand that feeds me, but it's kind of, like, not. It's just not giving the good.

It's not giving what it needs to be giving.

Do you know what I mean? And I think that's just the nature of life. Like, you anticipate so long for something to come, and then it comes, and it just kind of sucks. And I'm not saying today sucks. I'm just saying it's not what I thought it would be.

It's not the joyous occasion that it usually is. Maybe by the end of this episode, we'll have gotten into the Friday spirit, realizing that the weekend is upon us.

I mean, I could actually pinpoint why today's not giving positive energy. And I don't want to start out complaining, but, like, I'm going through a lot of.

Okay, well, you have to speak your truth.

I sliced my finger open yesterday, like, being an animal with my rotisserie chicken. I was just eating it, like, so beast like neanderthal. Like, that. I sliced really bad. The knife went, oh, my God, it hurts so bad. It's literally still bleeding. I definitely liked hit bone. It woke me up in the middle of the night. I was up for 2 hours in the middle of the night. Just. My finger was throbbing in the band aid. It took me forever to get ready today. I couldn't even do proper makeup. I probably look heinous on YouTube. Don't watch on YouTube. Listen on Spotify. Like, it's affecting me in all stitches, for sure. Like, it's affecting me in all corners of my life. And I'm in immense pain. Immense pain.

Do you need to go to urgent care? Do we need to wrap this up?

And, like, I can't think about, like, when I think about the knife hitting. Oh, my God, I could puke, you know, like, it was just. Oh. And I was alone, and I got, like, really freaked out, you know, like.

You'Re losing a lot of blood.

Right. Like, what if I faint on all my new furniture? Like, and my blood is everywhere?

Like, that's not what's freaking out. You're. No, of course.

No, of course. It's like I'm alone and I fainted and I'm bleeding out. Of course. And that crossed my mind.

Like, who cares? Who gives a rip? I thought the furniture.

Miranda hobbs in that very early season of sex and the city where she was like, you know, I'm a single woman living alone. I choked on my chinese food, and my cats are gonna eat my body before they find me for sure.

But I feel like for Miranda, that was a referendum on her life. Up until that point, just being a single woman and not wanting to, you know, be alone, I would say that could pose, but for you, like, maybe it's a referendum on Ben's choices. Maybe it is.

I'm so glad you brought that up, because, Ashby, where was Ben at the time?

Where was Ben when his wife was laying on the floor bleeding out?

Recording good guys. Like, 4 hours, like, two episodes back to back.

Yeah. Wow. Shameful. Yeah, he should be ashamed.

Meanwhile, turdy in the kitchen with the rotisserie, bleeding out with the knife. Yeah.

And did he apologize?

No.

I love how, like, you slice your finger open, you and you alone, and it's Ben's fault.

Okay, you know what? I'm also glad you brought that up.

Because Ben hasn't seen my chick. He should have made you grilled chicken chopped into bits in the fridge already.

No, actually, I'm not an unreasonable person. Of course it wasn't his fault. He hasn't seen the cut this morning. I need to, you know, change my bandages, stitch up, and it's the first time he's seen the open wound, and he's like. He's, like, so dramatic, and it is really bad. He's like, ugh. And, okay, fine, be dramatic. And then he goes, what did you do?

Victim blaming.

I'm like, are you serious, Ben? You cut your fingers all the time. Cause he's always in the kitchen, and it's not as deep, obviously. I'm like, do I ever see that? See that and say, oh, my God, you're an animal. You're dumb. What's wrong?

No, he didn't say that either.

He might as well have. He might as well have.

He was victim blaming and shaming. In the words of Oprah, blame, shame game.

Blame shame and the weight loss game.

That's, like, one of my favorite things. I actually keep thinking about the fact that she titled her special, that really I shame and tell it by my.

Name and call me by my name. Why? You know, what was it even called? It was blame. Shame. Weight loss game. No. Blame and shame. The weight loss revolution. There was a revolution in there.

Oprah special. Blame. Shame.

See, look, I can't even open my.

Shame, blame and the weight loss revolution.

It should have been shame, blame and the weight loss game. Like, so.

I'm sorry, you can't say shame or blame without it being shame, blame in the dirty snuff revolution.

No. Shame, blame and turn his bleedin out on the floor.

Shame, blame and Ben is blaming his wife.

Shame, blame and down with the good. Guys.

That's the title.

Shame, blame, and down with the good. No, I'm not giving them, like, title placement.

Okay, okay, okay.

Do you know there are brands that would pay. There are a million girls who would want that job, you know?

Yeah. Shame, blame and the title revolution.

Title revolution. Oh, wait, is Beyonce's album a story?

Of course.

Okay. Because I have thought story worthy.

There are a lot of newsworthy items on the album.

So that's what I did this morning while getting ready, you know, with four fingers. And, you know, I actually had a question that I wanted to ask you, because I was thinking, like, if you.

Had to lose a finger, similar.

I think we should rank the fingers because right hand index, it might be up there with one of your thumbs. It's really. It's a top three finger.

It's. Yeah, it's number three, obviously. Thumbs are one and two for right. My right thumb is one.

So I told you about this issue I've been having with my left thumb, where I feel like I've lost connection from my brain. Yes.

Control.

I feel like my left thumb has.

Spun out of control.

My left thumb is, like, no longer in my control. I would put it, and I was more so asking, like, a universal ranking of the digits, not a personal one. But I just want to say, for me, like, the left thumb, it could be eight or nine.

I don't think so. Like, your left thumb is what separates you from Romeo.

No. I wouldn't be able to be holding this beverage if I didn't have my left thumb. And it's in my left hand right now.

Yeah.

So it would go right thumb, left thumb, right index finger, left index finger.

Yeah. Then the middle finger is obviously an iconic one.

It's an important one.

The ring finger. Important, too?

Not really on the right hand. Just wanna say, if I had to lose any finger. I think I might give up the right ring.

Not a pinky. I mean, pinky's the obvious choice.

I don't know. My pinkies, and I have, like, a, you know, body image issues when it comes to my hands. I think my pinkies are so, like, dainty and long. They're kind of, like, the best of my fingers, you know?

Yeah, it's kind of a lovely finger. Also, like, I like to get a wide grip on something. I have a really wide finger span. Yeah. Something interesting about me. Not you other bitches couldn't. I can hit an octave on the piano easily. Look at this.

Oh, hit a full octave. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A full octave on the piano. I might even get that 9th key in there.

Okay. I I think we're pretty much saying.

The pinky is germane to that for me. And that's a big part of my.

Identity, and a big part of my identity is just, like, being comfortable picking my nose. And every now and then, like, a pinky finger up the nose, like, scratches a quarter. Scratches a quarter of the nose that, like, other fingers could never.

So I've never been, like, a pick nose bitch. But as a mom, I've noticed that I pick. I'm always, like, picking the kids noses. Cause it's like, you have to get their boogers, and it's just kind of, like, taking away the stigma for picking nose, and I find myself, like, picking my own nose.

So, Jackie, you are joining the pick nose revolution. Blame, shame, and the pick nose game.

Yeah. And I've been a proud nose picker for years. I'm not, like, really even trying to, like, stop it. It's just, I realize that's why I, like all the shame and blame around nose picking.

Jackie.

I should do a special on it.

I'll host it. I do. You don't understand. This is, like, the best news you've ever told me. Like, I am overjoyed beyond belief to hear this from you.

It's because it's, like, now kicking a nose is kind of just like, this necessity in my life. So whether it's me or them, it's like, I don't really have enough time to register. Like, oh, this is the inappropriate one. Like, this is.

Why is it inappropriate? Like, if I see someone, you know, on the subway across from me getting, like, the eye gunk out of the corner of their eye, I don't think. Ew. It's literally the same thing.

Well, yeah, because you end up with the same question of, where do you put it?

Right, right. Well, I always these days, like a part of. I think I genuinely think a part of getting older is no matter what time of year it is, and you can be perfectly healthy. Like, your nose is gonna run. I'm doing my makeup. My nose is running. I walk to work. Even if it's nice out. My nose. My nose is always running. It's just like a new part of my life, and I always have a new or used tissue in my pocket.

Okay, say, they say you're not so perfect that day, and you don't have a tissue. Like, let's get real. She is evading the question.

Oh, are you asking me what I'm doing? Okay, that's a good question. I'm gonna know. I'm doing a little bit of this. I'm rolling it up first, making it compact, making it, you know, safer for. Check it. Check, check. It's a check. It's a check bag. It's not a carry on. Okay. So we're rolling it up, decreasing its size, and. Yeah, a little flick.

So when I think about case, you need your middle finger and your thumb actually flicking.

Let me think, let me think. Because I feel like nose picking, rolling, and flicking is a five digit activity affair. Yeah, it's a five digit. All the cameras coming out for a five digit affair. All right. That song is so good. Jessica Simpson, public Affairs.

Yeah.

All of her songs. I'm loving angels instead. You know, I can't. Let's not get into Jessica Simpson. You know, I'm not gonna repeat.

We only have so much time. We only have so much time.

Yeah. Because this, today's episode is fabulous. It's Friday, which means, you know, and I'm already feeling like I'm in better spirits. We have our queenie and weenie of the week, which is our weekly segment where Jackie and I bestow the honor to two different people, places, or things for their queenie behavior or their weenie behavior. I'm very excited. This is the first week, I think maybe since the inception, where my queenie came to me almost immediately, and I really couldn't think of a weenie.

Interesting. I'll let you know after the ad break how mine turned out.

Okay. And then, for the first time ever, this is our inaugural segment. Our inaugural episode of our new monthly segment, employee of the month, where Jackie and I just sort of hype each other up for kind of being a fabulous employee this month. What did you do, Jackie? What did I do? To bring this company forward?

Yeah. So every month, there will be two employees of the month, and they will be me and Claudia. And we're just nominating each other as to, like, why we deserve that honor.

Yeah. I mean, I am down to, like, make it competitive. You know, me. Like, I'm a nut.

So, like, you nominate you and I nominate me, and then people vote no.

No. Oh, no, I can't. We can't get the people.

That's hurt. That's toxic.

You dominate me, and I nominate you, and then we both, like, we're honest with each other. Whoever makes a more compelling case, for sure.

But if you want to win, you would make a crappy case. That's why it's not really.

It's giving, you know what? It's giving four weddings an imperfect system. Like, in that show, and I'm always referencing that show, it was imperfect. Like, the girl with the worst wedding, like, always won because these bitches were out here and they had a system, like, to try and evade anyone sabotaging, like, they would get rid of the lowest score. But it was still, like, even if it was still not a perfect system. You're right. No.

Well, you have to advocate for yourself. Yeah, but that's weird.

Yeah.

It's more fun when we hype. No, Claudia, we're gonna be weenies about this, and we're gonna say, everyone's a winner.

So are we the weenies of the week because we're being weenie like? Weenie like. This is so unlike us. We hate when people, you know, give answers. Like, you're all winners here. Well, you're not.

Hmm. Inherent contradiction within the show. Hmm. We'll have to think on it.

We'll have to think on it.

Let's get into the stories, because we absolutely must.

Absolutely must.

Without further adood do, here are the fastest stories that you need to know.

Oh, and today's episode is brought to you by Vanderpump Villa, the fun new reality series from our queen, Lisa Vanderpump. She has a new home on Hulu, and the show is an escape to the french countryside. The series offers first class luxury and world class dramatic. So Lisa's staff are working, living, and playing together 24/7 while dealing with rivalry, romance, and misadventures. And what I really like about this is giving, you know, the upstairs downstairs, it's kind of giving like a modern Downton Abbey, if you will. So Vanderbilt Villa provides super entertaining and unfiltered portraits of life, both saturated in and starkly without privilege. So throughout the series, the new groups of guests will be arriving to the villa for a unique and lavish vacation. The staff will have to be ready to cater to them on every whim. It offers a behind the scenes look at how the staff are pushed to their limits to execute these one of a kind celebrations like bachelorette parties, divorce parties, birthdays, while, of course, having to maintain composure and professionalism, as this is an opportunity of a lifetime for each of them. So it's really, it's giving class, it's giving elegance, it's giving that Lisa Vanderpump gina sa quoi, if you will.

It's happening in France. It's this gorgeous villa. So these young, hot things doing their things, you know, while working for, like, these incredibly difficult people. The show sounds amazing. You can watch Vanderpump villa. It premieres April 1 only on Hulu, so that's coming up. This is not an April fool's joke. This is very much real. The new show from Lisa Vanderpump. It is called Vanderpump Villa and it is available to stream on Hulu, starting and premiering April 1. Don't miss it. I feel like that's a good one.

An absolute honor and a pleasure.

Our first story, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter album is here. Here's every artist featured on the new album. So cowboy Carter dropped this morning. The new project, also known as Act Two from her renaissance release, has made its way to the US as of midnight on Friday, she told her supporters, this is not a country album. This is a Beyonce album. But the 27th track, body of work, features some big time country heavy hitters. It's a long album.

Listened. I thought I listened to half, but I must have listened to like a quarter this morning while I got ready.

So featured artists include Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. Willie Nelson can be heard on smoke hour, Willie Nelson and smoke hour two. Then she also collabed with Miley Cyrus and Post Malone for two Most Wanted and Levi's jeans. Then Linda Martell is also on the album. And then other black country artists that appear include Rhiannon Giddens, Tanner Addle and Willie Jones, and also Shabuzi.

So we were wrong about pretty much every single one.

Yep. I don't think we didn't get one thing right, not until she literally said, dolly Parton is on the album. And I think we said, oh, I think Dolly Parton's on the album.

And let's start there because Dolly doesn't sing. Beyonce covers Jolene. And then Dolly has like a cute little monolog in the beginning. It's like super short. And I have to say, I, like, died when I listened to the Jolene cover, because it's not a cover. It's basically, she changed every lyric, but it's the same song, if you know what I mean.

Yeah.

And the message of Jolene is basically Dolly's man is seeing Jolene on the side. And the song is like, jolene, please, like, I know you're hot and sexy, and you can have whoever you want. Please don't take my man. It's coming from a place of desperation. Beyonce's song is very clearly remarking on Jay Z's affair because Dolly's little monolog in the beginning says, I know you had an issue. The girl with the nice hair. So it's very, like, personal. And Beyonce is not in the slightest acting desperate. It is honestly one of the meanest songs. Like, it's so funny. It's so cutting. It's a sleigh. It's the total opposite of Jolie. And there's no pleading. There's no begging. It's like, girl, you're desperate, thirsty, and ugly. Like, Beyonce rips her to shreds and is like, I know you want my man. Get the fuck away. It's very different than Jolene. I loved it. I also listened to the Miley one. I love that Miley's on this album, like, for real. And I think everybody, that's such an.

Interesting choice to me, and I wanna talk about it. I wanna understand more. I couldn't have dreamed up something better if I tried. But Miley's kind of the only contemporary female artist on the album who's, like, major already. And I wonder why Miley? Do you think she saw her at the Grammys, like we all did, and was like, I love this girl. So talented.

I imagine, like, these things take more time than that.

Or because of Dolly.

No, not even. I don't know. I feel like Beyonce. Just like Beyonce's a woman of taste. Like, for real. She's a tastemaker. She has. She sees things in people, you know? And I think. I really feel. I don't know what the connection is. I do know they're also on the same record label. And maybe it's, like, a business thing.

What's the record label?

I think it's Columbia.

Okay. But still, like, I don't think Beyonce.

No, me neither. She doesn't play that game.

Contracts now.

I don't know, because it is so random. Especially when, like, the. The two big collabs there. There are a lot of features, but the clubs everyone's talking about are post Malone and Miley, who are both not country artists. They have country connections. Post Malone is gearing up to release his own country album. Miley, of course, is from country royalty, but they're not country artists.

No.

Which is interesting.

Until this point, neither of them have put out a country album.

And I feel like it really makes sense when Beyonce released her explanation for her reasons for doing this album. She's kind of mad at the country world. So she wasn't gonna give any, like, current country artists their flowers. Like, she was gonna do it on her own in her own way.

But then she does have Dolly and.

Willie, but they're not, like, a part of, I think, the problem Beyonce was.

Talking about got it. So I thought that was interesting. And then it made me, of course, wonder. The queen of country contemporary music.

Who is it?

It's Taylor.

Oh, that's so funny. I mean, I wish, like, she's from country these days.

She's obviously a pop artist, but, like, her the most successful female country artist of all time.

Like, yes. Technically, yes.

It's not even a technicality. That's just fact.

She hasn't released country music since red, even though red. Red was still, I think, in the country genre. But even when she was releasing country music, it wasn't country, but it sounded like pop.

But like her, she's the.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

Female country out, dundas tailored.

Oh. So there is a theory. So the.

I love a theory. There's a theory for that.

Beyonce said, like, I have a lot of surprises up my sleeve. So, of course, album came out. The track list didn't even tell us everything that we thought we were gonna get. And there is a song called bodyguard that has, like, background vocals that sound so much like Taylor. Like, for real. And the writing credits for the album have not been released yet. So a lot of people say the body, the bodyguard sounds like a song Taylor would write or, like, co write her voice. Sound it sound. You know, Taylor loves to have people on her songs and you can't hear them. It sounds like Beyonce's pulling a Taylor. Like, she's literally in the background. She goes, oh, like, three times, but it really sounds like Taylor. So that's the current working theory.

Oh, I like that theory. And I would like that. If Taylor wrote a song for this album, I think that would be perfect because, like, beyonce and Taylor putting out a song together, it's like, it's too much like the world can't handle it, but something more subtle like that would be lovely.

Yeah.

So that's the running. Say there's no Taylor on the album, which is what I thought after the album dropped and there was no tailored. Don't you think that's interesting?

No, because I think it's been made, like, abundantly clear that these two, like, they're their own planets. You know, they are their own planets, and they coexist. Like, there's peace there. I think they really, really. I think for so long, everybody, like, knew that, like, Taylor loved and respected Beyonce, but we were like, does Beyonce love and respect Taylor? Because beyond Beyonce's, like, so Beyonce's taken so seriously. And up until recently, Taylor was not. And it's been made abundantly clear over the last, like, year or two that, like, everyone loves everyone, and it's all good, but there's never been, like, a formal collab. And I don't know what the first step in that would be. Would it be a Beyonce song feature on Taylor's album? Would it be a Taylor feature on Beyonce's album? How do we do it? I don't know.

I feel like this would have been it. Beyonce is doing country. Taylor is country.

Like, it kind of reminds me, like, so randomly of, like, how we don't have a Morgan wall and Luke Combs collab yet. There are these two enormous universes. They have covered each other's songs. They clearly have respect for one another. But Luke Holmes has said on a podcast, like, it's not, you know, negative, but it's, of course, competitive. That's the nature of they do the same thing. They're at the same level, and it's not in a bad way, but, you know, they keep each other on their toes. And I thought it was actually a really honest answer because most people would be like, no, we support each other. He's like, no. Like, it's competitive, but it's good. And they haven't worked together ever in, like, a formal song release capacity. And when they do, how will it be done? Because it's almost like the fact that it's never been done.

I don't. To me, that feels different. Like, I don't expect every big artist to work with the other big artists, especially in the same genre. I'm just saying, in this instance, like, beyonce is. Has a country album. She's collaborating with country artists. She has a friend. We know their friends.

Yep.

Who is the biggest country artist in the world. This would be the time for the collab.

If.

If this album comes and goes and there's no collab, I won't say on the next album or Taylor's next album.

I understand.

This is the moment is what I'm saying.

Okay. So I don't, like, 100% agree with that because, like, I feel like, yes, Taylor is, on a technical level, like, the most successful country, but I really. I don't think of her, like, country at all anymore, which is devastating because that's my favorite genre and my favorite girl. I do think that if there isn't a collab on this album that has anything to do with Taylor, I won't think of it as, like, a slight. I will just think of it as a missed opportunity.

Agreed. But not one that they didn't consider first.

No. By the way, this conversation was had between both camps.

That's all I'm saying.

And maybe Taylor. Seriously, maybe Taylor was like. Maybe Taylor said no. Maybe was like, listen, currently I'm on this tour. I have some. I don't have the capacity to give my whole, you know, pussy to this collab.

And I would want to be country right now. Seriously, if Beyonce comes to someone with a club, no one is turning that down.

No, absolutely no. Nobody.

So she didn't come or.

The theory is right.

I like that theory. That buttons it all up really nicely for me.

Yeah. So I have a lot of work to do on the album, but I needed to reference the song daughter. And what I love about this album is, like, it's really camp in the sense. It's not like I feel like a lot of the contemporary country artists, especially the women, like their music sounds almost like pop music. It's not very, like, stereotypical. She went full camp. It's like, howdy do. Like, it's really. I love it. And even, like, the album cover horse, american flag, Beyonce.

It's not subtle.

It's not subtle. So she's, like, pulling references from, you know, landslide, which is, like, kind of not corny, but, like, overtly country. It's classic country.

Classic.

And it's low key classic country. And she's sampling a lot of things. And in the song daughter, she samples a song. Now, I don't know what this song is. My reference, how I know it is. It's from raise your voice. I think it's an opera song. She's.

Did I listen to it yet?

Jackie, come on. Your pay. Sensa d'tier voice, the crazy.

I only got to Jolene when Hilary.

Duff's, like, cringe character has a cringe moment in the cringe class with Aiden from Sex and the City. And she, like, slays it down, and she sings that, like, it must be like. It's like an ave Maria type. It's like a famous old, like, opera song. It's in daughter and Jackie. When I tell you I died, like, I died, it was so funny. I don't know where that song is from, but to me and, like, my generation, it will always be from raise your voice.

Oh, I think that was my next song to listen to, but also, this was the first album that I didn't initially listen in order, which I hate to do. Did you know I needed to hear Miley first? Oh, and then I listened to post Malone, and then I took it from the top, but then I skipped to Jolene. Oh, and I also listened to after post Malone, I listened to sweet honey buck in that's with Shabuzi. Because a few weeks ago, people were speculating who would be on this album, like, which black country artists that she would work with. And I saw a video of this guy Shabuzzi, who's so sickeningly talented.

Oh, wow.

And it introduced me to his music. And then when he confirmed was on the album, I had to listen to that one, too, before I started at the top.

And I feel like what you just said is the whole reason why Beyonce made the country album.

Love it.

Love it. No, it's. I have a lot of work to do, and I don't like. I hate when people are like, what are your rankings? It's 27 songs. I woke up a couple hours ago, like, leave me alone. I need time. I don't know what's good yet. I don't know what's bad. I don't know if I like that. But, like, I need a minute. Give me a second.

Sonically, it's kind of a new sound because she's really, like, blending genre voice with country, old and new. And also, there's, like, some hip hop influences in there. So, like, it's gonna take time to, like, wrap your head around. It's not. It's not surface level, and it's certainly not surface lyrics.

It's not surface lyrics. Give us a minute.

So, is Ben struggling with that, or is he excited?

I actually haven't spoken to him about it because I literally wasn't talking to him after he yelled me by my.

Finger after he picked him. Blamed shamed, and gamed. Yeah.

And in the knife cutting game.

So that's exciting. And that does make the Friday feel more like a Friday, because it's new music Friday.

Totally.

Period. I don't have anything to add onto.

That, so maybe you could go to the next story.

Yeah. No, I was gonna say something, but. Well, now the sentence was over.

Okay. I respect that. Sometimes it's okay to, like, start a sentence and then just, like, delete, you know, backstage.

Yeah. Or no. Like, not everyone has to get the last word, you know?

Oh, is that what you were trying to do?

No, I wasn't trying, but I was just gonna, like, say another thing.

Oh, my God. And you know what I love? I love that. Like, and I think this goes for everyone. I'm not talking about us, because we don't.

No, I wasn't talking about us.

The culture, like, maybe just end the sentence, you know, that's okay.

Back and forth.

Like, let's hold space for the end.

Let's hold space for the end.

I think it'd be nice.

Are you ready for our next story? Now holding space for the second story. Billie Eilish is dragging big artists like Taylor Swift for releasing multiple versions of albums in, quote, wasteful packaging. So while discussing her push for sustainability within her career with Billboard, she criticized unnamed big artists for using uneconomical and seemingly unethical methods to sell and package their physical albums and vinyls.

While it was unnamed, she might as well have said that blonde girl whose name drives with Thaler, like, she literally described. It's clear. Like, I don't think we could speculate this to be about anyone else.

No. So this is what she said. So you can hear it for yourself. We live in this day and age where for some reason, it's very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging, which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money and gets them more. I can't even express to you how wasteful it is. It is right in front of our faces, and people are just getting away with it left and right. And I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable. And then it's some of the biggest artists in the world making fucking 40 different vinyl packages that have a different, unique thing just to get you to keep buying more literally tailored with her tailored songs.

Now, I want to say Taylor does do this a lot with her CDs and stuff, but Billy's specifically talking about vinyls because I guess vinyls are, like, especially difficult to make.

And it's whatever, special, unsustainable plastic.

It's like. And a whole part of this conversation that Billy's not talking about is how Taylor has completely resurrected a dead industry in terms of, like, jobs, sales, small record stores. Like, so, yes, you can't be the best at everything. You can't be the most sustainable and be resurrecting industries and being a titan of industry. Like, it's getting jealous, maybe.

Do you think that maybe because the vinyl industry is so unsustainable that it deserved to die. To die.

No.

And we're working in the vinyl industry didn't deserve to work because of their. Their contribution to non sustainable things.

Billie Eilish is really slowly turning into one of my least favorite people. Like, it only took two things. Artists for ceasefire pin and coming for Taylor Swift. Like, you're literally dead to me.

No. This story is so funny. This girl is so dreadful, and she's always been dreadful, but I never want to say anything. Cause she seriously just seems unwell. Yeah, but she's now sticking her nose in some things where it doesn't belong. Dreadful, miserable girl. Yeah.

No, I feel like it's. Everything is so negative and sad all the time.

Like, ugh.

Imagine, like, I don't like the perfect word for. Like, what we're saying is, like, yes, but the yiddish phrase is a Drake up.

It's like your face is, like, a long, sad face. Miserable.

Hold on.

That's a miserable girl.

Hold on. That. What's the other yiddish phrase that, like, I've been actually using a lot lately?

When you try and google yiddish words they don't understand.

It'S like, smile. Yeah, no, it's literally.

That's misogynist and not sustainable.

It's sparky pilastery. Smile. Don't smile. I just, like, I can't. And honestly, I want to say Eilish.

Is a fabissa punum.

She's a vibisna punum. And there isn't. I'm not the type of person where, like, you can't criticize Taylor. Like, I actually do feel every. Like there are some few. If you have something to say, like, valid criticisms of Taylor in regards to whatever. Sustainability or whatever it is, but, like, this really isn't it. And I feel like Taylor has been praised so much by people in the industry, like, mom and pop, 100 year old record stores for. And she goes out of her way to, like, really give extra stock of hard to find vinyls, two small, independently owned records. Like, she really goes out of her way to, like, try and do the right thing. And so for another artist to come out, you know what it's giving. It's giving. Jealous.

Yeah, but the mom and pops were not sustainable. Claudia down the mom and pops.

Like, I support the mom and pops. Leave me alone.

Yeah, and so does Taylor.

Like, so to make a whole big stink. She thinks she's being subtle. Like, we know who you're talking about, Billie.

No, I hope Taylor writes a whole album about her.

The thing is lion. Don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.

It's true. But Taylor, like, she does.

She cares what people think about her. Also, Billie Eilish. Like, we can cloud on her. Like, she's a major, major, like, force.

I wasn't gonna say that. She. No, I think Taylor is, like, listening with both ears. She's like, okay, you said that.

Yeah. Like, when Taylor. We knew Taylor, like, gave a fuck about what people said about her when she, like, came out with full force. One joke made about her in Ginny and Georgia, before Ginny and Georgia was even popular. Ginny and George is enormous show now, but it was the first season. It was, like, literally nobody was watching the show. And honestly, I heard about it for the first time from Taylor Swift, and it was, like, such a lame joke, and, like, she was right. But, like, really? We're going, like, I feel like you're bigger than that.

No, she. She listens to the things that people say about her, and she cares. And she would admit that, like, that's not no secret.

And I want to say, like, hash relatable. Like, thank you.

No, also, I just want to say for Billie, when her happier than ever vinyl came out in 2021, the black versions were made of 100% recycled black vinyl and wrapped in shrink wrap made from sugar cane. And her colored options were also created with recycled materials.

Sounds smelly. No, that's great. That's really, really great for Billy. She also care about different things.

She also helped from Rebirth's music decarbonization project, which aims to eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry.

Okay. And that's, like, that's so great. That's clearly something Billie cares about. That's super, super great. But, like, I don't know. I just hate people, like, who do something good and then use it as, like, a platform to be condescending and patronizing.

Shame blaming game.

To shame. Blame the music game.

Yeah. Especially when, like, there's such bigger fish to fry.

Right? And I just, like, I have two words for Bisson upon them.

I have two words. Shame and blame. Okay, our next three stories.

What? Number three, actually, no, we still have. No, no.

Oh, okay. Because our next three stories, if I had to describe them, like, they are so Friday.

Ooh, by the way, I know them. GRB.

Yep.

The conjoined twins who married the same man. Cause that's a story I requested. And what was the third? It's definitely some food news. What is subway.

No, it's not. It's not food news.

Okay. You'll surprise me. Let's start.

First of the three is that Gypsy Rose Blanchard has separated for her husband three months after her prison release. So GRB and her husband, RSA, have broken up after. After one year of marriage. She announced the news on her private Facebook account on Thursday, according to people saying. People have been asking what is going on in my life? Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation, and I moved in with my parents. Moved in with my parents home down the bayou.

Jackie.

Parents who did. I read that right. And I moved in with my parents home.

So, mom, we know. Deceased at the hands of GRB. Father in the act. I don't remember there being a father. Well, obviously she's talking about, like, her birth dad and his likes, you know, her stepmom or something.

Really?

I mean, who else?

Not her mom, but maybe her parents home. Like, maybe it was the home she grew up in.

Oh, she's referencing the home, not the parents.

The physicals structure.

The structure. Okay, so let's.

And also to say, like, I moved in with my parents home down the bayou, right?

Is it I moved in with my parents or I moved into my parents home? She has a typo, and it's honestly making it really, really hard changing the.

Meaning of the sentence.

Yeah. No, no, honestly, she couldn't have had a worse typo in terms of clarity. Like, maybe she's just trying to keep.

People on their feet. That's classic GRB.

That's classic Jeremy. Now, of course, I have to make everything about myself. I did spend some time with. With the couple, and I didn't want to say it at the time because I was grateful.

Can we get a clarification on how much time?

30 minutes.

Okay.

Not like a weekend.

Yeah, no, I thought it was gonna be three minutes, so that's.

No, no, no. I observed them, but I also spoke to them. Him a lot, too. And I didn't want to say it at the time because I was grateful to lifetime for the opportunity. And, you know, I just. I was having so much fun. But, like, you didn't like what you saw? There were immensely weird vibes. And let me tell you precisely, like, I think he was really, really excited about, like, the lights, camera, action, the flashiness of it all. And I think she was more excited to, like, tell her story and, like, be out of prison. And he was like, really? It's like a former teacher. You know, he wasn't in prison. His life just went from drab to fab, you know, that's the lifetime documentary. Drab. Fab. And the. And the GRB gab, you know? And so he, like, kept making this joke. He made a joke to me. I was talking to him, and I was like, oh, my God, congrats. Like, on your wedding.

Congrats, grads.

Yeah. And he was like, ugh, he's so great. Like, I. You know, I keep saying we're not newlyweds. We're newly together weds because, like, we've been married for a while, but we're finally together in person. I was like, oh, ha ha. Cute joke, Jackie. I heard him make the joke to other people and the press, like, no less than ten times that night. He's like. And then I saw on TikTok video, and I don't know, it was just giving preparedness, you know, it was giving thirstiness, and I didn't like what I saw.

I'm not gonna, like, disagree with your analysis, because you saw what you saw, and that's your truth. I just want to say, like, that story, viewed through another lens is, like, really innocent and sweet.

Let me add some color then.

Okay.

So GRB and her man come out, of course, a press line. Like, they're going crazy for GRB. And he's, like, standing right at the edge of the carpet, like, waiting with bated breath for, like, the couple photos. Like, obviously, she gets her solo shots, and then they do couple photos, and then he gets his solo shots. And I just felt, like, an eagerness that just put a bad taste in my mouth.

You saw eager Beaver thirsty, and then.

We know, like, he was getting reached out to a lot by other women. And I just feel like if there's any sort of nefarious behavior from this split, it was coming from him.

Well, I just think, in general, when you go through such a big change, like, meeting and getting married in prison and then the freedom that comes with it, like, that's a lot of change for a young couple. And maybe people aren't who you think they are, whether they be just too eager Beaver or also, like, impossible to.

Live with or, like, GrB. You know, you have limited options for.

Spouses when everything is coming up GRB, maybe.

And now, darling, she's.

But she did say she sees, you.

Know, more handsome men sliding into her dm. She never had access to that.

She said in her statement, I'm listening to my heart right now. I need time to let myself find dot, dot, dot who I am.

So.

That's amazing.

Yeah.

You could come out of prison and be a different girl, not the one who married no.

And also think about her life before prison. She was attached to another man. It's like she's kind of, I think, hinged her identity a lot on her partner, and maybe she's realizing she's coming into her own, saying, I need to be me.

Yeah. It's time for GRB.

If I can't love myself, how in the hell am I gonna love anybody else?

I think there's a lot of change, and there's been a lot of change, and it's totally natural for things to start to shake up.

Yeah.

At the three month itch.

Yeah. And I just wanna say, like, this is not a couple I'm rooting for, you know? So whatever gypsy decides, like, I think is best, I'm not gonna be like, I hope these two work it out. This isn't, like, you know, a. A Kim and Croix Biermann situation.

Who would you like to see GRB with?

It's an amazing question. Let me think. Hold on. Who's, like, a freak? Like, oh, my God, I have, like, such a funny answer joke, but, like, it's, like, too mean, you know? Should I say it to you? And then we cut it out? Or, you know what? Text. I'll text it to you. Like, I just. Some of my jokes recently have been, like, so mean. This is who I think GRB should marry next. They're perfect for each other.

You could say that.

No, no, it's fine. It's fine.

That's really funny.

Ship. Ship.

Except, no, she seems like a nice girl. I wouldn't do that to her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, GRB, wishing you well. Being single can be fabulous, but don't cut your finger.

Yeah.

Maybe get a roommate.

Yeah. Are you ready for our next story?

Oh, I was born ready for this next story.

Conjoined twin Abbie Hensel is now married, so. Conjoined twin.

Only one.

Only one is married.

Oh, I thought he married, like, spiritual. I know he physically married both of them, but I thought spiritually, he married both as well.

No, spiritually, he married one. Conjoined twins, Abby and Brittany Hensel first gained national attention when they appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, and then they later starred in their own show, Abby and Britney.

Oprah is kind of like the thread of today's episode.

Yeah. A lot has happened in the last decade since they were on tv, but Abby is now married. According to public records, Abby, a teacher, and Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States army veteran, tied the knot in 2021. The sisters also shared photos of the wedding on social media. The couple lives in Minnesota, where the Hansel's were born and raised. The sisters are both teaching fifth grade in Minnesota. Yeah.

Well, I don't know how one could teach and the other couldn't. I have so many questions. Because if these two are fucking, that's literally incest. That's like me and you having sex.

No, they only have one part. They only have one. Everything below. That's like all organs below the waist are shared. No, it's like polygamy is what it.

Is with all organs below the waist are shared.

Yes.

So they have one vagina.

Yeah.

So he's having sex with both of them.

Yes.

And they're also having sex together.

Well, no, because there's only one. Takes two to ten.

What does that girl do with her. Her head?

I don't know, but I would have thought.

I mean, I'm glad that.

That they've. They're finding love. Like, and what works for them. Works for them. And who are we to tell them what to do? And they obviously, like, have clear.

They've thought of these things. Yeah.

And, like, they have a way of which works for them. I just would have thought that they would have found someone, honestly. Maybe a polygamy who. And they could all be together. Married.

Yeah, of course. But you can't marry your sister. That's the thing. Sister wives are never related.

They're not married to each other.

Yeah. Oh, I guess. No, but you become like family.

Like family.

No. I don't know. It's like a little confusing for me.

However, mention how they feel.

There have there been the separation of conjoined twin successful surgeries? Yes. Correct.

Yes. But in this situation, because they have shared organs, they were told that it was like they. The parents decided that it was too risky. At the doctor at the time, the doctor said that there was a little. Little chance that both would survive the operation. And they had said, like, how do you pick between the two?

No, of course not.

So. Yeah.

Oh, my.

But I honestly. Living their best life in the show, they.

Yeah, I'm living my best life.

They travel to Europe, they wrote a moped. Like, they're making it work for them. And now one of them has found love.

Now, what happens when the other finds.

Love and then it's her turn? They obviously have an understanding with the husband. Like, everyone has to be on the same page. I'm sure they've had these conversations, but there's no roadmap for this.

There's no. They're literally creating precedent.

They're making the rules. Right.

And they're kind of trailblazing for others.

Yeah. I think it's inspiring. Beautiful story. And they want to be moms.

Oh, can they?

Yeah, they, their mom had said that that's probably something that could work because those organs do work for them. And Britney had said, yeah, we're going to be moms. We haven't thought about how being moms is going to work yet. But we're just 16. This was when they were 16. We're just 16. We don't need to think about that right now. But now they are in their thirties and now would be the time.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Okay.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Pleasure.

Final story, kind of the biggest news of the day. Puck Satani Phil shocks caretakers by welcoming two surprise baby groundhogs with his wife Phyllis. So famous groundhog punk Satani Phil is a parent. He is planning for at least six more weeks of intense parenting.

I don't like the way they phrase that headline. It's giving very much like misogyny. His wife is over here doing everything it said. Punk Satani Phil welcomes two new children.

It's like Phil is the star every house. Phil.

What did Phil does a male carry with groundhogs? Like, that's what it sounds like.

No, but it's because he's the most famous groundhog and his wife is just behind. Like behind every great groundhog there's a woman. Like bare pals, children.

Behind every powerful groundhog is a more powerful female groundhog.

It's true.

That's true.

But I completely agree. Misogynist to its core.

No, it's just misogyny right and left.

Like PETA should honestly put out a statement about that. Put out a statement about this statement.

No, PeeTa doesn't care about women. That's the thing PETA cares about. Like I don't even know what the fuck they care about. But it's not women.

Yeah, cuz the news here is like Phyllis a father. Okay. Like Phyllis just endured childbirth.

Is her name Phyllis?

Yeah.

I don't know what agency was in charge of like the Pugsutani Phil branding, but they slay the house down boots.

Except an inherent flaw is that you think that Phil is in Philadelphia and he's not.

Where is he?

No, I think he's in Punxsutawney.

What's that?

A township. But then like, no, and he should be from Punxsutawney because it's like the biggest thing going on in that town. But it should have been like, pucks are tiny Tim.

Now this is a totally random tangent, but we were talking about brands and rebrands and I don't know if you know, but like a major major brand has rebranded and we didn't even talk about it on the toast.

Manischewitz too.

They're still Manischew.

Manischewitz.

Womanischevits. Their entire branding has been like revolution renewed because, you know, they're kind of like an old school shtetl vibe. Yeah, they slayed I watched this whole TikTok, like, about the rebrand. It's literally, like the sickest thing. It's now just giving, you know, sort of like lower east side old jewish steadle.

It's kind of in now, like, what's that deli called? Like, Katz's font.

Yes. But it's very modern. And they kind of, like, it's kind of one of the most. People are praising it as, like, one of the most fabulous rebrands. They killed it without losing, like, the brand's core style and vibe.

Yeah. What's the name of that font? I feel like it's like, mazel.

It's literally like shtetl.

Yeah.

Where the. It's like the second Avenue deli logo too.

It's all jewish brands.

Yiddish. Yeah.

Cute.

It looks like biblical writing, like in the bible.

Very cute. Send me the TikTok.

I will. I will. I was, I found it extremely interesting. But back to Punxsutawny Phil.

They put out a statement on Punxsutawney's facebook page saying, we have babies. The Punxsut Tawny Groundhog club is very excited to announce that Phil and Phyllis have given birth to two healthy baby groundhogs.

And so they will carry on the legacy of Groundhog day. Is that correct?

Oh, they didn't say that because I think it takes a certain kind of groundhog to be trained up. But hopefully.

Who's the prince William?

You know, I don't think it's hereditary. I think it's a meritocracy.

Oh. Oh, for real?

That's my guess. Because you guess a monarchy job? Why? What if one of them is, like, badly behaved and he can't, he can't even stand to see a shadow?

Well, he was born for this role. Like, they train him from childhood, you know?

Says who?

Like, that's what I would think.

Maybe there's, like, an elite groundhog school. Anyone can go.

Because, by the way, if they don't do it, like, hereditarily, why the fuck are they breeding groundhogs between these two?

Well, here's the thing. It was unexpected. They had no idea she was pregnant. It was kind of like, I didn't know I was pregnant. I didn't know I was pregnant.

It's giving that show, like, I gave.

Birth in the, er, in the toilet.

I took a shit and the baby came out.

Yeah. They said when we went in to feed them their fresh fruits and vegetables, we found Phyllis with two little baby groundhogs. It was very unexpected, and we had no idea that she was pregnant. I just want to say like, it's getting negligent. Sorry. You should know what's going on with the groundhogs that you keep in cages.

Phil. Phil couldn't keep his hands off Phyllis late in the night.

You know what I find interesting?

Yeah.

That like different mammals have different pregnancy terms.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

Because carry for nine months, but like dogs carry for a couple weeks, right?

Three months. When I was so funny, when I was, I just learned that because I was like talking extensively with different breeders for Tromeo and they were like, oh, well, we just got pregnant. I was like, all right, well, I'll talk to you in nine months. And she was like, she's like, no, no, it's actually perfect timing for you. It's three months. I'm like, what?

Yeah, it makes sense. Like, it makes.

Yes, but we're huge.

I just assume for everyone it's nine months.

Yeah, I would assume the same. I did assume so.

I wonder how long, how long is pregnancy for groundhogs? Cuz that was what, a couple weeks of being negligent, right?

Like was she pregnant on Groundhog day? Maybe they celebrated.

Maybe she got pregnant on ground.

Like how some people get pregnant on, you know, Valentine's Day.

The thing is, they might not even know how long. Oh, 32 days. Claudia.

A dream?

No. In my next life, Valentine's Day for sure.

In my next life, bring me back as a groundhog.

But the thing is, if you weren't like the groundhog, you'll live a life full of jealousy and bitterness.

Let me rephrase that. In my next life, bring me back as the most important groundhog.

But would you want to be Phil or Phyllis?

Phil.

I'm kind of like Phyllis.

All the perks, none of the work. Except for none of the pressure.

None of the pressure. What did I see? Was it a shadow or was it like a flag?

Right, right, right.

It's hard. You're just a little lowly groundhog.

It's hard out there for a groundhog.

It is.

Those were actually like some of the best stories, I think. We've had a great week of stories. It's important to acknowledge when we're blessed because sometimes, you know, scraping the bottom of the barrel today and all days this week were really fabulous. Thank you so much for that.

You're welcome. That could be a contributing factor.

I thought of that as well. So before we dive into our employee of the month segment, let's go to Queenie and weenie of the week, our weekly segment where Jackie and I bestow the honor to two individuals, people, place, or things. You know, it's flexible. Someone is going to be queenie of the week, and someone is going to be weenie of the week. A queenie of the week would do something that, you know, was Queenie like. And a weenie would do something that was weenie like. So let's start with Queenie, because I happen to have one. And I think this will come as a shock to absolutely nobody, that my queenie of the week was Andrew Huberman. He brought me so much joy this week. Like that article, I've been talking about it with my personal life on social media, the content. Like, it was so funny and it was so fabulous. And I feel like I'm, like, obsessed with him now.

Did you see, like, he posted a video?

We were speculating, like, how was he gonna handle this? Does he have crisis pr? Is there gonna be a statement? Nope. Went right back on his Instagram posting.

Talking about sight, like sunlight.

Yeah, like, obsessed. The comments, the comments were like, we're obsessed with you, Hubert. Don't stop. It wasn't overwhelmingly negative. It seems like he has an audience of people with good heads on their shoulders. You know, they're not gonna be like, cancel. Huberman is over.

Party.

Like, I have immense respect for this person whose name I seriously, like, barely knew prior to Monday. So for that, I'm grateful. You.

I agree. Huberman was my runner up and my queenie of the week, I think is everyone's queenie of the week, month, year. And that's Kate Middleton.

Yeah, she was up there for me.

She is going through it and she's just handling it with so much grace and patience, even though everyone is a fucking nut job.

So my.

She never even said in her video. Like, she just keeps being like, thank you so much for, like, your support. And it's like, girl, they weren't supporting you, but she's too big to even say, like, you fucking clowns. You look like clowns. Clowns.

So my. One of my weenies of the week that I'll just decide now was the people, the public, the public post, Kate Middleton's video, which really shut everyone down. There are still people being like, it's a fake video. Her ring disappears in 1 second. Her hair looks fake. This is an old.

She wore that sweater ten years ago and they made a deep fake. Based on the video.

Those people, like, clearly have nothing going on in their life and, like, they're addicted to the high of, like, everybody. It was fun, you know, for a while. And they're really pissing me off. And they're my weenies of the week.

My weenie of the week. So ours are very, like, inverted because my weenie of the week is the writer of the article.

Jackie, I'll just send you a screenshot. My other runner up was author of.

The article, the writer of the article, an 8000 word story, the COVID of New York magazine for the fact that, like, Huberman likes to get it in. He likes women. He likes a lot of them.

Yeah, I agree. That was a contender for me as well.

That was insane. Like, we need to, like, zoom out on that. Not just the article. That, like, there was a huber attempt to take down, like, the COVID of New York magazine. For what?

No, especially, like, we're in an election year. There's a war. Like, there's so much going on in the world. It's not like it's, like, quiet times.

Yeah. The COVID just. All's that to say? The girlies love Huberman, and Huberman loves the girlies.

And the thing is, it really moved the needle.

Not at all, Claudia. And he didn't go camping when he said he was gonna go camping. And he's not prompt. And he loves his dog, who, I heard it passed away since, like, from the stress of the article when Sarah was talking about, like, dog tings. That was, like, years ago. Since passed away. Like, imagine.

Oh, that must have made through. No, that must have made, like, this week, which I'm sure has been challenging for nobody likes to be, you know, written about like that. I'm sure, you know, because I can relate. If Theo was a big part of my cancelation and his name was kind of being besmirched and there was nothing I or he could do about it, like, actually, I'm being dead serious. Like, it would really bother me.

Yeah. Also, I found the person who people believe to be Sarah, which, based on context clues, like, is her. I found her instagram. Have you looked at it yet?

Send it to me right now.

It is a treat.

What is it?

Like, it's. It's very, like, honestly, it's who you would think Huberman would get into a relationship with. Like, oh, my God. Even this first video.

Oh, my God. Send it right now. I'm obsessed. Okay.

Oh, my God. You have to watch the first video. The video I just sent you.

Oh, my God. She's female. Huberman. She's Fuberman.

I'm shocked it didn't work out.

I know. Well, like it? Oh, she cooks.

Yeah, that's her thing. She's always cooking. Like, but outside, it's very homesteady and, like, health and heart health. Female.

Like.

She is his mate. I'm sad it didn't work out for them.

Yeah.

He can't be monogamous.

So let's dive into our inaugural segment, our inaugural episode of Employee Elite of the month. So, Jax, who's your employer? Who are you putting forward for employee of the month? I'm waiting with bated breath this month.

I'm putting forward. Let turd.

What?

Yeah. Turdy gets my nomination for employee of the month.

Oh, man. I still didn't see this coming.

Cause obviously, she's my employee of the month every month, but I do feel like early in the month, 30 really made, like, strong progress. She recorded two vlogs for the Patreon by herself, really contributing to premium content. And I know it's later in the month, so those things kind of get washed away by later events, but it doesn't go unseen. I feel like that sort of entrepreneurial spirit. Content creation. Premium content creation is why, for me, you're the employee of the month.

I'm honored. Thank you for noticing. And it's so funny that you nominated me, because I actually was going to nominate you.

You're lying.

Yeah, because, you know, I'm planning this trip to Israel, and, you know, I have a pit about, like, taking. I'm, like, a nut, like, with the show, and I brought it up to you, and I was ready for you to be, like, rightfully like, oh, well, maybe you could record from Gaza, and I would have done it, but without question, you were like, I got it. And you didn't even let me help with the guests. You were like, I got it. And to know that I'm leaving it in such fabulous hands and you didn't make me feel bad about it. That was giving elite employee energy. It really was.

Of course it's my turn. This show is a balance. I feel like the last two years, you've done way more guests than I have. When you're on tour, I do more guests than you. And you're traveling. You're doing important work. I know I'm gonna make you podcast from Israel, but it just made me.

Like, more excited for my trip and just, like, feel good, you know? Yeah, we've got each other's backs.

Gotta reach out to my network.

Yeah, you do. So that was elite employee of the month. We'll be back next month, so you don't have to hear from us for another four weeks. That is also our show. Now let's just do like a quick touch base. You know, at the beginning of the show, we weren't like, kind of like feeling life. How are you feeling now?

Wonderful. I do feel like I've gotten it through my thick head that it's Friday. Thick tick. And I can enjoy Friday.

I love that.

And I don't. What am I doing this weekend? Oh, happy Easter, everyone. Easter.

Happy Easter. Oh, my gosh.

Yes.

To all of our, you know, up.

On us and march. Easter. How do you guys feel about that?

Followers in Christ. Enjoy.

Do you guys like an early Easter or. No?

I feel like it's like Easter weather is such a huge part of it because so much of his interest outside, although here in New York, it's gorgeous. It's supposed to be gorgeous all weekend. So I hope that keeps up for the. For the christian girlies.

Yeah. Happy Easter. Happy Easter. Happy God.

It's time to end the show.
