Good morning, millennials, and welcome back to the toast.

Happy Tuesday. I'm so honored that you've chosen to spend your day with us.

Yes. Happy Tuesday, everyone. Welcome back. Whenever I'm here, Jackson Claude irl whenever.

I'm here, like, the days aren't like days, do you know what I mean? I don't feel like at the beginning of every show we need to have that conversation. I don't know if it's just like, the Florida lifestyle or the fact that I'm not home.

Yeah. But for those who are listening, they need to be reminded of the day, the significance of the day.

And they're still experiencing the Tuesday.

Right. So I think it would be a little selfish if we just willy nillied the days of the week, which people have come to depend on us to.

Know what day it is. And selfishness is not something like anybody would ever use to describe me.

It's not in the dna of this show.

No. And it's not an attribute I currently hold.

No. Is the selfishness in the room with us.

Perfect execution.

Thank you so much.

And to answer your question, no, the selfishness is not in the room with.

Us, but what is in the room.

With us is us. I'm so glad you brought that up. I really am. I thought you were going to say, what's in the room with us is our new lights.

Our new lights.

If you're watching on YouTube, we'll know.

Immediately, like, when the video is done and it's up. Like if this was a sleigh.

Yeah, I bought some new light. We bought some new lights. We went to this fabulous store yesterday.

Who drove?

Jackie drove us in her Tesla.

And there was a lot of driving.

There was. The camera and lighting store was about 20 minutes away. Like, it wasn't just a hop, skip and a jump. It was no highways. But it was a journey.

It was a journey. But we found what we were looking for. We did.

And I just don't know if I set them up correctly. I am the IT department of the toast, but I'm extremely limited in my knowledge and my experience, and I just kind of, like, make it up as I go. And today was one of those experiences where I realized I know nothing about lighting.

It might need a little rejiggering throughout the week.

I also feel like, would it kill us to just find a lighting expert, like, come here and help us? No, it wouldn't.

Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Yeah, but what's a lighting expert?

But it's a thing, like, the guy from the store was a lighting expert. Yeah.

But he didn't know what we were.

Really working on, and he didn't seem like he does, like, freelance lighting consultations.

No, he owned the store. He was really busy.

Yeah, whatever.

Nonetheless, all that to say, YouTube. We bought a new tripod and some new lights. So, as always, when I come down here, every episode will look a little different because I can't stop fussing with things. And so every day, it'll be a new angle, a new shadow, it'll be a new something. Just bear with us. This is how I express my creative side. I'm really just kind of an entrepreneur and a creative when it comes to production.

Would you say you're a creative?

No, I wouldn't. I'm, like, literally wearing your pants. I'm, like, the least.

Okay.

I was going to say, like, original. I'm not, like, an original. That's not the question.

Like, a creative. Someone who's creative.

No, I'm not.

I don't think I am either. I'm very right, brain. Yeah.

And I don't think that creatives watch as much tv as I do. Do you know what I mean?

They're busy creating. Right. And sketching on their iPad or one of those tablet things. Yeah.

And I've never had a. What is that thing called?

Stylist.

Oh, my God. Literally. How did you know that? That's what I was thinking of. Like that?

Yeah.

I thought you'd say a wand. Yeah. I've never had a stylist. Not for clothing, clearly.

Stylist.

Stylists like one of those pens. Therefore, I am not a creative. Right. And I don't think you can truly consider yourself, like, a creative art director type of person. Creative director. If you don't own or have never owned a stylist.

I think that's fair.

I don't make the rules. That's just, like, the rule. The rule. I didn't make it. But you're enforcing it. No, I'm just sharing it.

Inevitable question mark.

That was Jackie quoting my award winning comedy special that you can watch on prime Video. It's called Lean in.

I have a couple favorite quotes.

Even though I haven't even, like, Jackie doesn't even. Jackie does not support women in comedy.

I haven't watched the whole thing because I was watching it and you were mad at me for watching it in front of you.

Okay, Jackie. Like, the day my special came out was like, oh, let me watch it. I'm like, okay, cool. Can you go into the other room. No, I'll sit my ass right in the living room. Watch it on loud in front of all the kids. Mortifying.

I just watched the Barbie movie. I'm going to be a few minutes.

A few?

Yeah.

You don't have the bandwidth right now.

I don't have the bandwidth right now. I am catching up on southern charm, though, in my free time and reading Josh Peck's book. Ever since I stopped pumping, I have the time to do she's unstoppable. I can do one of those two things.

I'm so glad you're reading Josh Peck's book. I talk about Josh Peck's book like I wrote it.

I do. So that's why I was like, I'm just going to read the damn book.

Let me tell you why.

And you get a lot of your insights about child stars and addiction from the book, and I like insights.

It is my reference point for a lot of addiction based commentary that I make. And him and Jeanette McCurdy's book is really how I know so much about child acting. That's very true. I also just think it's the perfect memoir. Like, from someone who came out on the other side, who's been through a lot, but who's also, like, a part of our childhood and who gives you really good insights. And he's very transparent about the money, which I really appreciated. That was one of my favorite parts of the book, like how little money you make as a child actor. So it's so good.

But does your love for the book sort of conflict with your hatred of the good guys? Hatred of the good guys?

Oh, my God. So Ben, non supportive king never listens to the show, and of course, the twisters were dming him about our one sided imaginary beef with the good guys, and he was like, what is this about? And I was explaining him, like, oh, it's just, like, funny. And honestly, at the end of the day, we're using our platform to promote your podcast. It's all good. Ben was, like, offended. I'm like, okay, grow up. Like, it's a joke, snowflake. Yeah, literally, it's giving sensitive alert. I'm like, oh, really? You're going to do that? Okay, I'll stop talking about your podcast.

Oh, someone can't even clown on good guys anymore.

No, he can't. No. Once I said, like, I'll stop talking about your podcast, he was like, no, it's fine.

Yeah, keep talking about it.

They had Terry Dubrot on this week. Ben was in. One thing about Ben is like he's familiar with the Bravo universe and the ancillary characters. But for years he has had this real interest in Terry Dubro, mostly because he thinks he looks like this guy we know, but also because Ben is just obsessed with him. He's like a jewish doctor king. And I think Ben was like, actually starstruck because Terry was in New York. Usually Ben will go to LA for the guest episodes, or he'll just be like the remote loser co host who no one listens to. But Terry was in New York and Josh was kind of like the loser co host who no one was listening to for a change. And Ben was definitely got home and he was very giddy. He's like, he's just so like. And Terry's business is really like, of course, the doctor thing, but then botch, and they like all these skincare lines. And Ben was just like really kind of taken with Terry.

That's what a good podcast guest should leave you with.

Yeah, you should leave every good interview being like, obsessed with that person.

Yeah, that's classic podcast interviews. Whenever I listen to other people's episodes, that's literally what it is. Like, people becoming best friends and me.

Watching them, you know, it's like such a thrill.

Yeah. But I guess that's a sign of a good one. A good guess. You really should get along. No.

And, you know when two people aren't vibing and they don't promote each other's episodes, and it was just not good.

Yeah, I love that. Speaking of fellow podcasters, we started training for the five k. I forgot about that.

I kind of blocked it out because I flopped. Like, I really flopped. You did not flop up. So Jackie and I went to the gym with the same goal, I thought, which was to do our first soto stride. I've actually done one, so I was like a little bit ahead of like two. So our trainer, hillary, I told you guys, is putting together like, a plan for us, and she's basing it off of what she thinks I can do. So we're obviously starting slow. Like, she's not dumb. And so the first soto stride, we have three months. She said, month one, I'm going to get you really comfortable running a mile. Month two, 2 miles. Month three, 3 miles. And so the first soto stride is like this twelve minute exercise where we're going to end up running, walking a mile. And we did it.

And I was like, so I'm like, yes, we did it.

And then I got off the treadmill and continued on with my workout. I did like a little virtual class and Jackie stayed on the treadmill and I was like, oh, that's cute of her. We left the gym and she was like, okay, I did the five k. I'm like, excuse me, you kind of just did it behind my back. Honestly, it wasn't my plan. You went behind my back.

But the first mile went really well. And when I go to the gym, I like to work on the treadmill. Like, I'm still in my cardio era. I'm trying to shed. So I would have been doing the treadmill anyway. And then after we did that first mile, I was like, let me see how long I can run for. Because you had just said you accomplished running for one song, and I was like, can I run for one song?

Right? I was bragging, lying, and then I did four minutes when I really did.

Three, and then I was like, let me see how many songs I can run for. So I did one song and I was like, I think I can make to continue. I did two and then I was, like, finishing two. I got into three, and then I was so close to almost at a mile that I was like, okay, my new goal is running 1 mile.

This bitch ran for twelve minutes straight.

So I did a twelve minute mile.

Crazy.

That was my second mile.

What?

Like speed between five and 5.5. So it jog.

The thing is, running a five k on a treadmill, it's so helpful. Like the speed number. I don't know how we would do it irl. We could, like, on the street, we don't know what speed are we going?

No. Then you have to measure your output. Like, am I exerting a level? Five, six, seven. Like a ten is a sprint, right?

A six is a jog, by the way. I feel like it's different for girls, boys, and how tall you are. For me, like a five or a six is a full blown sprint. Like, my legs can't keep up with me. Maybe that's just because I'm out of shape.

So what's a ten?

I would fall off the treadmill at a ten.

You have to personalize the chart.

Are you talking about ten speed?

No, I'm talking about a scale of one to pain level. Understood?

Understood?

Yes. Okay, so my ten would be like break neck sprint. Yeah.

Where you literally can't. Like, your legs are just going, 67 is joggy. So all that to say, jackie ran a full blown five k yesterday. Like this thing, this mountain that I'm trying to climb, she just did it behind my back. While I was doing an arm exercise.

Then I said to turtle, try to go on the treadmill and see how far you can go. Even if you have to walk the whole time. You could do 3.1 mile.

Yeah, I haven't done the five k to completion and I don't know if I can.

I think that you can. It just might take you a while because you might have to walk a lot.

Right.

So yesterday I did running and walking. I did the five k in 42.

Minutes, which I feel like if we showed up to the five k, wherever it's going to be, and we slayed in 42 minutes, I think people would be really impressed.

Right? I feel like that's respectable, but I could bring it down. But we will be running side by side.

Oh, yeah. We had this conversation yesterday too.

Leave you and you could make friends without me or vice versa.

Yeah. No. Whatever we do, we do it together. Even though by the time the five k comes, I'm hoping we're on the same level because we're doing the same training. I'm really hoping.

I just think you should give yourself a little more credit. Even though I liked Hillary's plan, because slow and slow wins the race. And to build up to it, you'll crush a five k by May. But you should just see where you're at right now, how long it would take you.

Like gun to my head, if I had to run a five k right now, what would my time be?

Right? And then you'll see how far you come by, how long it takes you in May. Okay.

I like that idea.

Tomorrow.

I did plan on trying like a full blown five k. I have a blowout right now. I couldn't do a five k like I needed.

You have to preserve.

So I'm going to go swimming today. So I'm going to have dirty hair anyway tomorrow. Oh, my God.

We're not recording the audio, but we are recording the video.

Does the audio go in if we don't press?

Let's find out. Let's stop.

Oh, I think that it does too.

But let's just check. Yeah.

Crisis averted, you guys. Oh, my God. Seriously would have jumped. You would have been allowed to kill me, but you couldn't because I would have already done it myself.

No. And if you weren't here, then we couldn't redo the episode, but it actually would have been fine.

No, that was my fault. Usually we have to press record on the camera and on the audio. And today, I don't know why, I was just like, I'm clearly not feeling.

Myself, because that's anti audio.

I was anti audio. So what were we saying? Oh, the five k. So journey has begun. I feel like getting started is the hardest part, and I'm really proud of us.

Yeah. I'm feeling really good about it. I hope that it happens. But I don't envy Burton Tom, because how do you get land for a five k?

The track? I don't know.

Yeah. You have to shut down streets. No.

So I imagine why they haven't told us where it is yet is not because it's not real. It's because it's hard to plan.

Yeah.

And I feel confident. I'm glad we started. I'm glad we have a lot of time. I don't feel rushed. I feel good. And we'll keep you updated on our progress. We definitely will.

And feel free to train alongside us.

Yes. I did hear rumblings amongst the community that the toasters were thinking of running a five k that day in solidarity with us. Oh, my God.

That's so cute.

Whether it's on a treadmill in their neighborhood. Oh, and I did get to see Jackie's gym, where you've been shredding, and it's a gorgeous facility.

Thank you.

It's crazy how different gyms are, like, in New York and Florida, because you just have, like, space here. You're not, like, climbing on top of someone on the treadmill. Yeah. It was so civilized. I enjoyed my time.

I'm so glad. Yeah, it's a peaceful.

It's a peaceful place.

It's a peaceful.

It just. You know what it was, you know, classic gym. Not like. Like New York gyms are so, like. It has to look like a spa. It's not a spa. It's a terrible place.

It's a gym. It smells like a gym in a good way, like equipment.

It was just giving, like. I don't know.

Okay.

You know what it was giving? No. I can't explain what it was giving, other than just Jim.

Yeah.

That's what it was giving.

I think we should get into the day's tasks.

The task ahead.

We have some good stories. We have some Super bowl follow up tings.

Love. And we have a hilarious story that I can't wait to talk about. Alyssa Milano.

Correct. Right.

I requested that story. I saw it on Twitter. I was cackling. One of my favorite tropes in media is celebrities asking their fans for.

Yeah.

Like, in a charitable way. It's just an interesting donations.

Yes. Yeah. So without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know that was actually the wrong adieu. It's a do not IEU.

Don't be so self critical.

They're confusing. And now I say it all the time in the show.

Do better.

Thank you, Claude. Well, our first story, Super bowl celebrations. Taylor and yeah. Hit the clubs with her parents. Yes.

Taylor Swift made a TikTok.

She didn't.

I was scrolling TikTok. And you know, when this happens to me a lot, sometimes on TikTok, more and more frequently because I've been seeing so many people making original content about the toast. And when I first see the piece of content, I kind of disassociate. I'm like, wait, why are these people talking about me? And I'm like, wait, that's my sister. You know what I mean? And then I saw this video. I'm like, wait, this looks like Taylor Swift would have taken this video because it's like, right. And then I was like, oh, wait, it is one thing about Taylor, and I think what is part of her appeal is she's kind of like a grandma. She's really a millennial in a lot of senses. And especially every time she's made probably ten TikToks, everyone is worse than the next. It's so millennial. It's too delicious. She is.

It's hard to make a TikTok original content.

You're telling me. You're telling me.

Yeah. So there are a lot of cute videos and stuff from the party, the you belong with me, which we talked about yesterday, but a new angle came.

Out of Travis and a new song they also played, love Story.

Yes, we had seen that yesterday. Oh, did we? They were dancing to love story for a second.

Yeah.

And then Travis was in the DJ booth with the chainsmokers. A new angle just dropped where he sings, why can't you see?

Are you in love with me?

And then he said, you belong with me.

I am still sort of wrapping my mind around the accessibility we have to these very private moments. And it's coupled with the fact that I think Taylor cares a lot less. Like, she's not in this crazy private relationship, but also, like the NFL, the nature of everything they go to is just public, and they know that. I'm having such a hard time wrapping my mind around it. It feels like a parallel universe. It's so different. And these videos, I'm just like, I can't digest them. Like, it's crazy.

It is. I'm one curious to see how public they are after this, because now when she was going to a game every weekend, it's like she had no choice. She had no choice but to be public. So it'll be interesting to see how much they choose to share after this. Two. Not to underestimate him, but I feel like him changing the lyric was more so, like, a flubbing of the lyric.

Than, oh, wow, that's a heinous accusation.

Than putting his own spin on it intentionally.

Okay.

But it turned out to be cute, but I just feel like he might have mixed it up. Okay.

I'm actually glad you brought that up, because there was a moment during the week leading up to the Super bowl, there was, like, so many cringy moments from reporters asking Travis, like, really inappropriate questions. And so many of them went viral. And people were like, as they should, shaming the journalists. It was abhorrent behavior. And one of the girls, female reporters.

Was like, travis, finish the lyric.

Karma is the. And he was like, guy on the chief.

Yeah.

And she kept singing. And then he didn't answer for the next one. He was like, all right, next question. Which he should have said because it was embarrassing, but maybe he didn't know it either.

I don't think he knew it either. He said guy in the chiefs, because that's the time he heard the song. Right. Which, by the way, I think, in general, is better that he doesn't sit there on learning lyrics. Learning all the lyrics.

Easy lyrics.

He could just be like a casual. Just supportive of her. Not such a fan. And I think for karma, it's a newer song. I don't know how much he listened to midnight. I think it's fine. Guy on the chiefs. That's the one he knows. And he probably watched that video over and over again. But I think there's a chance that he got a little confused, which I think.

But that's a hot take because everyone else was like, oh, my God, it's a declaration of love.

I don't think so.

Yeah, no, I could definitely see that being the reality.

But the ends justify the means. It doesn't matter. And it was really cute. And actually it's cuter. Sometimes the best things happen.

A happy accident.

A happy accident. It's cuter that he changed the lyrics to be something so sweet, but I think that he thought that's what it was.

I like that.

Because then also he reverts back to you belong with me after, like, oh, right.

No, I like that.

And I don't know if he's someone who just makes up lyrics on the fly and changes.

Yeah, no, it's so us. It is something we would do.

It's something we do.

No, and also, he's so just not. The creative juices aren't flowing.

Yeah, but they were.

I didn't realize until Taylor posted that unbelievably amazing TikTok that she did bring her parents. And I always forget that these two are divorced because they always show up together and there's never been any drama or anything. They just quietly separated. And it's just like, an interesting fact. I wonder what Taylor's personal experience with that was, because she is this hopeless romantic. A lot of people are children of divorce, but I do find the people I know whose parents get divorced later in life, it's much harder for them to experience it. As opposed to being like an eight year old. You're excited about having two bedrooms.

Yeah.

And she's so. I feel. I think she probably puts so much emphasis on her parents relationship and was looking for that. And I wonder what that. And she never wrote a song about it or anything because it's their life and she totally respects their privacy. But I do wonder what that experience was like for her. Was it earth shattering?

It has the potential to be.

Unless I could see it being earth shattering for her.

Yeah. Unless the writing has been on the wall for a number. You know what I mean?

Unless you're mature enough to realize your parents are so much better off apart.

Yeah. And it was not great for a while.

I don't think there was, like, a big scandal, know, Andrea cheated.

No, but if your parents hide everything from you, and then one day you wake up and you're like, we're getting divorced. And you're like, what? So everything I saw was a lie? Yeah.

Oh, that can be earth shattering, I guess.

Right? But if they were always fighting, and it's like, can you guys just get.

Yeah, yeah. She's never spoken or sang about it, and I do wonder, because she's one of those girls, I feel like, who would put a lot of emphasis and she would want.

Yeah, but Travis is also a child of divorce.

Are they divorced?

Yeah, I think so. Oh, I didn't know that. Never together.

Wait, double check. Because I had never heard that before.

But it's possible she's always, like, a solo.

Wait, mama Kelsey is a single, independent woman. We have to get her a boyfriend.

Yeah.

By the way, what about Scott?

Right? They're not married.

Oh, that is fascinating. I never knew that.

Yeah. Have you ever seen them together? I feel like the dad is, like.

On the outs, not on the outs.

Because he's around sometimes, but he doesn't have Mama Kelsey status.

Wait, I'm, like, really shook by this information.

I feel like that's something I could have bonded over for sure. They should wife swap.

They should wife swap because the dads look alike and the moms look alike.

Yeah.

Honestly, would that be gross? Like.

No, no. I feel like if they did wife swap, then eventually Taylor and Travis, if they broke up, it would be like. But they got together, so that's perfect. So that two loves.

Yeah.

Prosper, and it would be. We're. I don't think they could wife swap. And Taylor and Travis also get married.

It's giving, like, rufus, Lily, Dan, and.

Yeah, yeah.

It's also giving, like, Sharon Josh kind Josh thing. Like, I feel as a society, we don't talk about enough. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's beyond strange.

No, it was a weird way to.

Because Cher's dad is not Josh's dad, but he was a father figure.

But why couldn't Josh have just been, like, an intern? Yeah. A clerk at the law, an associate.

It was so unnecessary that he had a familial connection to Cher's dad.

Yeah.

And, like, as a kid, I never noticed it. And I remember the first time I watched clueless as an adult, and it clicked for me. That there was this weird familial bond, and I'm like, wait, that's weird?

You don't think it was, like, subliminally trying to get us promote incest to make incest digestible?

Oh, you think it was, like, Hollywood's demonic side coming out?

No, because the movie's not demonic.

No, but it was so, like, it kind of feels like a conspiracy theory.

It feels intentional. Just trying to warm us up to the idea.

Yeah, like just slowly dip our toes in the incestual pond. Yeah, I think you're onto something.

I don't know, but the rest of the movie is not. I don't see any other demonic influences.

Now we have to look at it through the demonic lens.

Through the demonic lens. I don't know.

She was, like, in the valley at a party wearing, know, devil red, and then she gets robbed. I don't know. I don't know enough about Satan. I actually don't know anything about Satan. I obviously know the word Satan, but I don't know the religious meaning behind it.

Yeah, because people get very offended by satanic culture. Demon energy talking about this because of the ice spice thing. Right.

Because people are saying she's demonic, and I really don't know anything about it except that it's really bad in Christianity to worship the devil. Yeah, and, like, devil, Satan, and demon are all the synonyms.

It's like, you know, God, hashem, lord. Yeah, exactly. That's how I see it.

So I don't know enough about it.

But they were saying that ice spice was throwing up demonic symbols and she was wearing an upside down cross, which.

Is like, I don't know anything about it satanic enough to comment on it, but I do know that probably in the early two thousand s, the producers of clueless were trying to put demonic energy onto the youth of America.

I don't think so.

You were the one who just brought that up.

No, I posed the question, and now I'm going to answer my question. Say, I don't think so. I think maybe, like, one producer had a little inkling for insect. Yeah. And they were like, what if we just made it the brother? I agree, but not. I don't think it was a top down thing.

Oh, you don't think it was like, a coordinated attack?

Systemic? No.

Like, it wasn't giving Josie and the Pussycats a little bit of no.

No.

Where would we be without that movie?

I think it was just giving, like, one errant, incestuous man.

All it takes is one bad egg.

It's always a man. Of course.

No, by the way, we weren't thinking it was a female producer. Don't worry.

Even though movie was made by woman.

It was made by, like.

There's one woman heavily associated with the movie.

Who?

You'll know her name if I said.

It, but it wasn't her who had the incestual idea.

I don't think so.

Me neither.

I think that Amy Heckerling.

I've never heard of this woman.

No, you would. She does other stuff, too. Maybe like, pitch perfect. That's so last time's at Ridgemont High.

Oh, she sounds like a queen.

Yeah, she's a queen. Every time she does something, they're like, and the woman from know, she's kind.

Of just like, oh, really? I've never heard anyone say.

I feel like. I feel like I always see her doing stuff. She's, like, tied to projects.

I feel like you're making that up.

No, I'm not. What was the story she did? Your favorite movie.

What is my favorite movie you're making, like, a joke about?

Okay. It's not your favorite movie, obviously, but it's a movie that you really appreciate.

I don't know. What is it?

Look who's talking. By the way.

That is my favorite movie. And look who's talking to. Not enough people talk about.

She did.

Look who's talking to. Also John Travolta, Kirsty Alley and a talking baby. It is the greatest movie. I need to watch that movie, actually. Maybe I don't. Maybe it won't age as I used to love it as a kid. Maybe I should just let it be.

Let it be. Yeah.

Let it be. Let it be.

Are you ready for our next story?

Is it Alyssa Milano?

No, just a little more Super bowl news that's pertinent, which is that Super Bowl 2024 was the most watched telecast of all time.

Okay.

Reaching 123.4 million viewers.

I want to ask you a question. Does every year top the year before? Is this considered impressive?

This is impressive, but that's how it's been the last few years.

Okay.

Before this, the biggest telecast of all time was last year's Super bowl game between the Chiefs and the Eagles. And then before that was the Super bowl before.

Right. So it's something that just keeps topping one another.

But I also could see it know, lowering if it didn't stay relevant.

Right. Was this, like, a major growth from last year? From years prior? Like, did Taylor have an impact in that way? Definitely.

115,000,000 to 123,000,000 I feel like there's 8 million swifties.

And you know what's so crazy when you think about it? That's 123,000,000 televisions. I would argue, like, at least four people are watching because people have parties.

Yeah. But you know what? These rating rankings, ratings are so fakocked.

I actually think they include like three people per household.

Yeah. So it's the largest audience ever. It was measured. Paramount plus Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports and NFL digital properties plus CBS in general.

What about like YouTube tv where we watched it?

That would be CBS broadcast.

Oh, CBS channel.

Yeah.

By the way, a lot of people are talking about the Nickelodeon broadcast which was like they had a Super bowl. They had the Super bowl playing. But then they had like kid cartoon type of mcs explaining stuff. Apparently was hysterical.

Oh, my God. We should have watched.

And like people were saying it was so creative and so different and they put so much thought into the graphics and people are lauding it as a huge. And I think this was the first time they ever did it on Nickelodeon.

That's so cute. We should have watched.

No, like, we shouldn't have.

But that was like when they did the London game and they also had it as a cartoon game. I don't know if you saw this. So when they played in London a few months, the. I don't know what the technology is. Probably some AI. But the set looked like toy Story. Like in Andy's room, there was like a football field and the players were playing football. And it was like the mirroring the real game. It was mirroring the real game. The toys were playing the football game.

I wonder how the commercials worked on Nickelodeon. Was it the regular Super bowl commercials?

It would be a good opportunity to do separate commercials for kids.

For kids. Right.

For kids products.

Right. Like Baba Finn.

How do we not know about that?

Know about what?

Like that Nickelodeon was doing that.

Like I told you. I knew. When did you know when it was on? Like everyone.

But why didn't we know about it ahead of time?

That should have been a story.

I'll take that on the chin.

Yeah, it's your fault.

But I will just say that it didn't get crossed your desk. It didn't cross my desk. And that says a lot.

It does say a lot. But it was really cute. People are saying it was so pure and really well done and it was like funny for the parents too. And you still got to watch the game. It was the real game on tv.

Yeah. And for us, the game started at 630. That's not bedtime. The kids watched a few hours.

Right.

So, yeah, that would have been super cute.

Glad that the ratings are still going up. Not surprising at all. I feel like football is more relevant than ever. Agreed in the culture, so that's great.

And you love to see records being broken. I feel like everything, the numbers are always going down, especially, like, with award shows.

Yeah.

I didn't realize the Super bowl was the biggest telecast.

I had never thought of it. If you would have asked me, what do you think is the most watched television event of the year? And I sat through, I probably would have said the Super bowl, but I didn't know for sure that it was. But it's by the hundreds. There's not even a close second.

Yeah, I think the close second is like the games.

Like the leading up games.

Yeah.

I thought you were going to say like probably like the news on election night or something. I don't know.

But still, that's split between a bunch of different chats.

Right.

We'll pull up that another.

Not like I'm not that interested.

I can't lie, but I think it's like in the college sports games. I think it's sports games.

You think it's sports rule.

Yes.

Sports is kind of like the only thing that keep a lot of people paying for cable. I would say most people, yeah.

But now they have all this, like, hulu live sports. By the way, I saw it on HBO Max zone.

HBO Max. Now you watch a nick game. I was like, what? I just paid $30 for MSG. Plus, like a moron.

Hate to see it.

Hate to see it.

Now our next story. Alyssa Milano has been blasted for attending pricey Super Bowl 2024 with son after asking for money for his baseball team.

She took her son to the Super bowl.

What?

A week after posting online asking for donations for his baseball team.

Yes. She shared a photo of her and her son, his name is Milo. From their seats at Allegiance Stadium. She said, my buddy, hashtag mother. Son love.

Mother's on love. Yeah.

Mother's son. Bond.

Mother's on bond. Mother's.

I mean, there's no knowing what she meant.

It's a palindrome.

Yeah. And then people were quick to take to the comments. This is what the GoFundMe was for because she had just put up a GoFundMe for her son's travel baseball team, a fund so that they could travel to a game or whatever.

Now this is so layered one. I actually saw an amazing TikTok. A content creator went to the Super bowl and asked random people how much they paid for tickets, and it was just like, wasn't celebrities. It was just regular folk. I think the cheapest one I saw, a lady said she spent $8,500. Everyone else was 13,000, 12,000.

This article says that the cheapest tickets that were ever able to purchase were $2,000.

That's insane. So just, like, keep that in mind. Yeah. I'm always going to reference when Lady Gaga did it, her dad's restaurant, which is actually pretty popular. It's in grand Central Station. It's like an oyster bar. There was a fire or something, or was it Covid something? There was a GoFundMe made for this restaurant, which, of course, sounds like a nice thing, but when you realize the owner's daughter is Lady Gaga, it's like, girl, they were trying to raise, like, 50 grand. Like, lady Gaga could fart 50 grand.

So it was just.

People were rightfully questioning it. It is a weird thing that celebrities should not do, even when they post, like, gofundme's for, like, I remember. I feel like Kylie just did it.

Yeah.

For her makeup artist.

Makeup artist. There was.

Megan Fox did one, her nail artist.

I think now that we're looking at them at a glance, I think that it's different when it's someone you're related to versus, of course, a friend, like, Lady Gaga. Like, help out your dad, of course, Alyssa Milano.

And also, it's like, when you think about Alyssa Milano's son's league, the people who probably play in the league are.

Of similar ilk to Alyssa Milano.

Like, it's based on neighborhood and nice. I'm sure it's a nice league.

No, but it's like, everybody has their kids baseball league that they're raising their money for, and they don't ask Alyssa Milano to contribute to it. No.

It's so wrong.

Candy bars. Like, don't use your mom's instagram. It's wrong. It's just unnecessary, especially given these dark economic times.

Like, read the room.

Alyssa Milano. I don't know how much money Alyssa Milano does or doesn't have. Like, I don't think she can just pick up the tab for the whole baseball team.

So I'm glad you brought that up.

But don't bring it to people who have their own baseball teams to worry about.

Alyssa Milano herself is, like, currently, is she the most booked actress on the planet? No. She has a lot know prior success. She does get booked a lot, and I do believe she has a very successful husband.

Okay.

He's like a Hollywood agent.

Okay.

So this is not someone who's having trouble making ends meet. And also, she's, like, social media queen, always coming for people. She should read the room a little bit, take the temperature. Think to yourself. Take a step back. How would it look, me, a big Hollywood star, asking my Twitter followers for money for my son's baseball team.

Right. So you have to measure the relation to the celebrity and also the cause. Right.

It's not a hurricane rebuilding. It's your son's baseball team. So they could stay at a five star hotel. It is beyond out of touch, and it's hilarious that people are like, no, it's entirely possible. I think a lot of celebrities who went to the Super bowl spent no money.

Well, so this is separate. That was about the GoFundme in general.

It's not right. It's not right.

Yeah. But it's also like, say the team's putting together a Gofundme. They're trying to get outreach. Oh, we have someone who has a big social media account. Maybe she could post it. But it's still like, why should other people pay for your kid to play baseball? It's wrong. No, they shouldn't.

Wrong. It's wrong. Also really wants to play baseball. There are leagues that require no travel.

After evaluating all of the elements wrong. It was a wrong to post. But even though I still feel like the Megan Fox thing, especially once she explained it, I think it was okay. I agree. Even though it didn't really work out. I don't know how successful it was, but I understand the inclination.

Every situation, it's situational situation. We're talking about this particular situation, and it's wrong as it pertains to the Super Bowl. I don't think these two things are immediately in conflict with one another, but it does just highlight to people. It's weird. Let's say you wake up one day, you see Alyssa Milano posting on social media, asking for money, and then later that day, you see her at the Super bowl with her son, who she was raising money for. When the Super bowl has been historic in its expenses, and it's in Vegas and there's private jets and suites and, like, it's weird. Yeah, it's wrong.

It was already wrong. And then this just makes it look worse. But if you dig deeper, it's like, she probably didn't pay for tickets. I think most celebrities didn't. And it doesn't add or take away from the fact that the initial GoFundMe was just not necessary for her to post. Of course. These two things are just. I could.

But when put together, it looks hella weird.

Yeah. But it's crazy how much the Super bowl tickets were. We were saying, everyone in that stadium is a millionaire.

Jackie said during. It was actually a great call during the Super bowl. She was like. Because we were talking about how expensive it was and how they had to almost close down the private airport because there were too many private planes coming in. And Jackie was like, so is everyone in that stadium, even at the tippity, tippity top, like a millionaire?

So regular fans can't just get a ticket.

And you know what? Actually, I saw girl boss Town actually posted about this. How? Because it was in Vegas and there was that big fanatics party, and fanatics is a company for the fans, right? And it's like big celebrity party. And it just felt so. The Super bowl felt so not for the fans. And the tickets being $10,000, especially when I think about people who, from the Bay Area who have just been waiting for this, they never get to the Super bowl. The Kansas City fans are spoiled, but.

People who just love football and they.

Live pretty close to Vegas, it's not a terrible flight. How inaccessible it was for the real, true football fans. It really does suck. And have companies like fanatics that are built for the fans, having, like, Tom Brady and Kim at their, like, it kind of sucks. Yeah, it was a good point. And so you're right, like, everyone in the stadium being, like, a millionaire, even though I do think some people literally spent their savings on a ticket, which is insane, too. It shouldn't be like that. And she was saying how it would be a really good opportunity, like, next Super bowl for any company. But she was talking about fanatics. Girl boss Town. To do a commercial or, like, a giveaway. Bring the real fans. Bring the OG people who have been the 80 year old men who have never seen their team in the Super Bowl.

I agree, and I'm sure there were some people in the stands who want a giveaway, but how do you do a giveaway on a large scale?

No, I don't know.

I want hundreds of fans. Yeah.

No, but how do you also ensure, when the tickets go up for sale, that you're getting the people who've waited years and years and years to see their team in the Super bowl? That part kind of sucks.

I feel like each team could have a pool reward. If you've been signed up with this and you've bought over the years, they know you. And you get, like, presale, like, how.

Taylor Swift would do, right. And you get face value tickets. Yeah, it's interesting. That part kind of sucks.

Yeah.

And it's so great that everybody's kind of obsessed with football right now, yada, yada. But I think of old men who've been watching the same team for like 50 years and they finally get to see their team in the Super bowl and going isn't even an option.

Yeah.

Sucks.

Yeah. It's gotten a little too.

A little too big.

Big. Our next story. Are you ready for it? And no, she's not ready. I'm so sorry, la. Take the time that you need to get ready and say what you need to say.

You're welcome.

Our next story, Katy Perry is quitting American Idol after seven seasons.

Wait, I didn't know that.

I know.

I didn't realize she was there for seven years.

She made a low key announcement on Jimmy Kimmel, like, last night. She said, this fall, in September, I'm going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock and Rio. So I think this will probably be my last season for idol.

What does that have to do with.

And she probably couldn't do.

It's one performance now.

I don't know. Okay.

Objection. Relevance.

I agree.

Okay.

She said, I mean, I love idol so much. It's connected me with the heart of America. But I need to feel that pulse of my own beat that I get. I feel like she has been.

It's the best job for, like, a retired pop star. It's also, I think, the best job for a new know. You get to be in millions of homes. You don't have to tour.

You make a lot of money.

You have a kind of a normal nine to five. You don't really go to the office, leave la.

Yeah.

It's actually probably been amazing for her. And I think she's been, like, laying dormant as a pop star, just kind of being in her happy married mom era, and maybe now she's planning a comeback. And you can't be on idol and be, like, the most relevant pop star. You just can't, like, think about Lionel Ritchie. Luke O'Brien's very much, like, in his sort of. He's definitely past his, know, peak.

And so I think we're kind of one or the.

Yeah.

Because the stability that idol provides also.

Keeps you too tethered to be, like, the most relevant person on the planet.

I know. And to be going here and there and doing your song and touring and promoting and just showing up everywhere.

Yeah.

I think show up for this thing.

In the seven years that she's been on Idol, she hasn't released an album, but she's released, like, a few songs. Like Harley's in Hawaii.

Yeah. Daisy. Daisy.

Like, really, like three or four, nothing major. And she does her shoeline. I think she's probably been in her sort of stable, normal girl era, but pop star can't keep a good pop star out.

Right. So then Jimmy asked, like, what did Luke and Lionel say? And she said, they'll find out tonight.

That's funny.

So end of an era.

It is.

I think it was a good run for, even though she had a lot of controversies this article makes mention of, and we've spoken about a lot of them.

Whatever.

She actually had to take a hiatus. At one point, fans were saying that.

When she told that mom. To get back on her back.

Yeah. No, to stop. To get off her back, because she already had three kids and she was, like, a really young mom.

It was a funny joke. Everybody needs to calm down.

And I do think that idol needs a harsh critic. I'm sorry. The show without one. And so even though when we analyze the specific insults, it's like, oi. It's a necessary evil.

I agree. And she wasn't even mean at all, but she was considered like the simon. It wasn't going to be lionel, and it certainly wasn't going to be Luke. But you have to think about where Katy Perry was before she went on american idol. I think it was actually a life raft for her. It was really necessary. She was like a failing pop star. She couldn't get arrested.

Bodapetite, witness, the album, the blonde buz cut. Yikes.

Like, she was actually in a really bad spot. And I think american idol was. I never would have expected her to stay as long as she did. I think she actually just ended up liking the job. But it really settled her. It got her into the homes of millions and millions of people, and I think it showed a little bit more of her quirky side. She took it too far sometimes, but I think it actually ended up being amazing for her. You have to remember where she was before.

No. And as a huge Perry fan, like, at points, she's been my kelly clark fan. And where she was before idol, I would not have listened to a new album from her. I was just so over her. So I feel like even though I didn't even watch idol, this period has been really good because now I'm excited for whatever she does next. If she were to put out new music, I would happily listen. I've come back around on appreciating her.

Yeah, she was kind of in her Miley Cyrus and the dead pets era before idol. Idol gave her the opportunity to settle down. She got married while she was on idol. She had a baby while she was on idol. She grew her hair out while she was on idol. She definitely, like, it was this sort of rebirth for her. I'm sure she looks at the experience as kind of, like, saving her career a little bit.

Yeah. And overly positive.

And you know what? You can't stay there forever if you really want to be know. It's funny how the voice is so different in the sense, like, you can be really hot and relevant and working and releasing music and touring while also being on the Voice, whereas American Idol is really like a retirement show.

Yeah, but you're right.

They do need, like, a hard ass. I don't know who they're going to replace her with. And I do think that's interesting. If I was a pop star, I feel like it's the best job on the planet. You get paid so much money.

Okay, but then just like you said, you're not super relevant and buzzy.

Okay, you're not super relevant and buzzy, but you're super famous because you're in so many homes. You're on every airport, television. It's a different level of fame. It's not hot and buzzy and paparazzi, but it's like everlasting for sure.

But you wouldn't want the buzz.

I think if I had been Katy Perry and had been so high and so low, I would really appreciate and respect the fame American Idol gives you because it's so normal.

But would you be doing it? Would you continue or would you now, I don't know, resume career?

I could see she's her kids, maybe a little grown up now. I could see her wanting to get back out there.

And as a fan, I'm ready for her to resume her.

Sure. For sure. But I do always think about how, like, remember when X Factor was on. And they had Brittany and I, by.

The way, two people who both hated the job.

Hated, that's true. Actually.

Couldn't have hated it more.

But I think if I could choose a job, that would be a job. And also, I love to watch and hear people saying Simon, of course, what.

If they said, you have to be the Simon and you're going to get backlash every week?

Backlash is really.

But we'll stand by you because you need to, but you're not going to be fired. You won't be fired, but everyone will be mad at you. Cancelations, right?

All week getting backlash. It's not for the faint of heart, you guys. And I feel like I'm so much better now than I was, but I'm really not great at receiving any sort of backlash. Like, it still kills me. I don't know. It's a good question.

And if we had more time, we could think about who would be the good replacement for her, who also needs to be tough, who needs to be.

Tough, and somebody who maybe needs, like, a reprieve from the spotlight.

Yeah. I feel like it might be like.

It would never happen ever. But we're just talking fantasyland. You know, who I think would be great at it? Who can get away with being tough and who definitely needs a break from touring and can't really perform right now.

Ari.

Celine Dion.

Oh, yeah.

Because of her accent. She could say something mean.

Yeah, it's true.

And she can't perform because of her. And it's just a job where you just sit and she would actually give very good advice.

Yeah.

Some people really need to be told, do not waste your time singing. It's not going to happen for you. Go make a living doing something else before it's too late.

You know who would also be good? I don't think she would do it, though. Adele.

Oh, she would be incredible. But she can't do it right now. She's not right for it.

No, she's not right for it.

Unless they paid her a hundred million dollars.

Yeah, but she likes what she's doing. She likes Vegas.

She does. When I went to go see her, she said people think I don't like it because I had to cancel the beginning or whatever. She's like, I love this. I get to raise my son Monday to Friday and just take a 45 minutes commute to Vegas. She loves it.

That's awesome.

But she did also say at a recent show I saw it, made news she's ready to do, like, a real tour. She hates that people have to come see her in. She can't go to see people.

Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

I really, really am.

Meghan and Harry quietly launched the new Sussex.com website.

Oh, my God.

You know what it's giving? What?

The togo. What did she have that blog called?

The tig. The tig. So they quietly launched their new website, sussex.com, on Monday. The site encompasses the latest news about the couple, bios for Harry and Meghan, as well as links to their Archwell foundation organization. And. No, no. But there's already controversy within the website because it's very interesting what they've chosen to call themselves.

Well, it's interesting that their website is sussex.com.

And then if you look so it's a picture of them overlaid with the office of Prince Harry and Meghan. So that's what they want to be known as.

Okay, well, that's interesting that she doesn't have a title.

And then it says the Duke of duchess in Sussex.

Oh, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

But so people are mad. They use the coat of arms.

What's that?

Like, the little emblem? Symbol. Yeah, symbol. That's like their royal symbol. And it's like they're calling themselves the Duke and duchess. There's no mention of the monarchy on the site.

Oh, okay.

Interesting.

Yeah, I relate in the sense that if I was Meghan, you bet your ass I'm still calling myself that. But is it respectful in terms of that monarchy? Should harry know better? Probably.

But I don't.

Like, you could not get that title out of my cold dead.

Like, I'm sorry.

You couldn't.

You couldn't. But you also wouldn't have relinquished.

Oh, yeah. Like, that's the other thing. That's where Megan and differ. Like, I would have just done anything to stay being a duchess and living in a palace.

So, yeah, I don't know.

I feel this is kind of like the crux, I think, of a lot of people's issues with Meghan and Harry. It's that they want to reap all the benefits, but they did leave. And also, what is the official ruling? That's what I want to know. Does this break a rule? Are they allowed to call themselves, like, what is the royal decree?

Yeah, I do not know. I do not know. If. When you abdicate your responsibilities, if you.

Lose the titles, who's the last person who abdicated? What was his name? Wallace. His wife.

Yeah.

What was his name?

Edward.

What did they call him when he left? And he moved to Paris, right?

Yes. So let's.

Know. What did his website say? I feel like there's no blueprint.

The Duke of Windsor.

Well, he got demoted then.

Hold on. Because they would have Edward VI, later known as the Duke of Windsor. Okay. But the thing is, at one point he was king and it's like when he left, he didn't still stay calling himself king, like Harry's prince, and he left and he stays calling himself prince. Well, he.

Okay, wait. No, he left as left as he.

Was king for six months.

No, I'm talking about Harry.

Oh. Harry left as duke, Duke and prince.

So him calling himself prince, I think, is fine. Him calling himself duke, actually.

But he also left as prince. He's always been a prince, but he's.

Always going to be prince because why?

Because I'm sure King Edward, before he.

Was king was duke.

He was a prince, too.

I don't know.

It's confusing. I think it's also very colloquial. Obviously, Prince Harry is Prince Harry.

Right. We're not calling him that as a royal highness. We're calling him that because his first name is Prince. What the hell is his last name?

Like Windsor, Mount Bouton Windsor.

Right. And then first name Prince, last name Harry.

So also Meghan has chosen to become a one name wonder. I'm sure she's also struggling with a little bit of a brand identity, Cris, because she's not Markle because she's married and she would take her husband's name because she took.

So what is she?

Megan Mount Bouton, Windsor, Sussex, is also like their last name because William and Kate are the.

Me. It's low key. Like kind of like they don't have a name.

They don't have a name. And so they have a thousand names. I think thousands of hours of brainstorming went into this copy.

I kind of love that she wants to be Meghan. Like Cher.

Yeah.

That was a good call on her point on her part.

One name wonder.

But, like, the thing is, and they.

Don'T want to be Harry and Meghan. They want to be Prince Harry and Meghan. The thing is, and also if he's a prince and she should be a.

Princess, a website isn't going to change how the people talk and the people call them Harry and Meghan and they do when they speak about individually because she has such a fabulous name. Stage name, Meghan Markle. She's like, that is her name.

Yes. It's not going to change how people talk, but it's interesting how they want to be spoken of.

But I think the way people talk is, like, when speaking of them together, they call them Harry and Meghan. When speaking of him, they call him Prince Harry. And when speaking of her, they call her Meghan Markle. I think that's, like, where we've all kind of landed.

Yeah. But then on the site, on the menu, there's about. And then there's two different things you can click. Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

Oh, she's totally dropped the Markle. Yeah, but she has that Markle sparkle.

Meghan, hold the Markle.

I think Markle is, like a gorgeous last name. Visually, it really does look like sparkle. And then the alliteration. Meghan Markle. It's great.

No, it's very great. And then they have their bio.

It's very great.

This is a long wow. For Megan. That's just for Megan. Let's see his. I feel like if it can't fit on one page, you've got to shrink it down. That's like a resume.

His is shorter.

His is shorter.

That's funny. The good thing is this really means nothing. It's just interesting.

It's a nice looking site.

Yeah, I know who did it.

Article made by article. That's what it's powered by. But I'm sure they have.

Is article their company?

No, I think article is like a squarespace type. It looks like because it's brand and digital for culture, commerce, and good. That's classic them.

Totally like word salad.

It envisions the digital experience from top down. Their services build better brands holistically across strategy, design, and development.

I just want to say, like, the website is beautiful, and if I ever need a website made, like, I will be reaching out to article.

Yeah. No, and they already have Meghan and Harry on their portfolio cracking up.

So those are the fast five. You really didn't need to know any of them, but I had a good know. It's not about the destination. It's about the journey.

The ends justify the means.

Love that. I love that.

Yeah, I had a good time, too.

I had a marvelous time doing the toasty thing. So that's our show.

I had a marvelous time doing the toast with you. Oh, I think.

No, I had a marvelous time ruining everything.

I don't know why. It's.

I had a marvelous time doing the toast.

Fine. Yeah, I'll accept it.

It's fine. So that's our show. You guys think it's sustained. Objection. Sustained. Relevance.

We're such legal jargon girlies.

I feel comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life.

We always have.

We always will.

Always will.
