Good morning, millennials.

[00:00:03]

Welcome back to the Tess. Happy Friday. I think I like this little life.

[00:00:12]

Claudia cannot stop singing that.

[00:00:14]

Do you know what that is.

[00:00:16]

It's a sound.

[00:00:18]

Yeah, it's the sound people are using on social media to put videos, little clips together of how amazing their life is. But the community on TikTok, they've turned it on its head, and now if you use it, it's so cringy. Everybody's making fun of it. I think This little life.

[00:00:34]

So you're now on the, for lack of a better word, it's an offensive word, but the bandwagon of TikTokers making fun of the sound?

[00:00:43]

I'm on the bandwagon of whatever's cool at the moment. I have no scrupules. I have absolutely no principles. I have no spine. Whatever everyone says, I agree.

[00:00:51]

I agree, too. But you know what is cool at the moment?

[00:00:54]

Let me think. Us? Yeah. The toast. At the moment.

[00:01:00]

The toast is bussing at all moments. It's true. It's true. But in this moment in particular, because we're back, yesterday was the first show of the year. Everyone was so excited. And then yesterday afternoon, I was just sitting around minding my business And you know what it came to me? As I was minding my own business.

[00:01:18]

Oh, our seventh season theme song?

[00:01:21]

Seventh Heaven. When I see those happy faces smiling back at me. Seventh Heaven. Do you remember that theme song?

[00:01:30]

I've literally never heard this song in my life.

[00:01:32]

You would? I was surprised no one commented it, and I didn't even have to Google it. It just came to me.

[00:01:38]

Are you sure you're not making it up?

[00:01:41]

I'm pretty sure. I maybe should have googled the whole lyrics.

[00:01:44]

Because Honestly, I don't know a lot, but I do know that this sounds like a made-up song, seventh Heaven. It sounds fake.

[00:01:52]

Because the show is fake.

[00:01:54]

That is true. It's not a real family.

[00:01:56]

No, of course, it was a drama. But the show itself, was seventh Heaven in this simulation? No, Jackie.

[00:02:04]

I'm so glad you brought that up. Seventh Heaven wasn't real.

[00:02:09]

I feel like it was a mirage, and maybe something that we invented in our childhood.

[00:02:14]

I did want to circle back to something you brought up, which was yesterday's episode.

[00:02:17]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[00:02:19]

I want you to ask me how many times I watched yesterday's episode.

[00:02:21]

How many times did you watch yesterday's episode?

[00:02:24]

Twice. I never even watched it once. It was so good. I was hackling. I told all my friends, I'm like, You guys, you have to listen to this podcast. It's so good. We were really on one yesterday. We were just being hysterical. We had all this pent up energy and communication.

[00:02:40]

It was so good. Was there anything in particular that made you chuckle? You know what always happens to me?

[00:02:45]

I loved our Gipsy Rose. There's so many conversations.

[00:02:49]

We have them and we laugh, but then if I ever watch episode back, there are nuggets that I missed while I was sitting here.

[00:02:55]

I'm like, Hey, that was funny. I told my friend, Abe, I'm like, You have to watch a toast. He's like, I always I'm like, Yeah, but you really have to listen. He called me after he watched and he goes... He brought something up there. I didn't even notice. He was like, The name on everybody's lips this holiday season is Gipsy Rose Blanchard. I was like, Yeah, the name on everybody's lips this holiday season is Gipsy Rose Blanchard. You have a problem with that?

[00:03:18]

Histerical stuff. It just past- Histerical stuff. Just didn't even get a mention.

[00:03:23]

Didn't even get a mention. We're genuinely too funny for our own good.

[00:03:28]

There's just too many funny moments we can't even process.

[00:03:34]

I think I like this little life.

[00:03:37]

Yeah. You should make a video, I think I like this little life.

[00:03:40]

I think I like this... Honestly, can somebody clip this audio and Let's replace it with the... I think I like this little life.

[00:03:49]

And then it be a montage. And then it should be a montage of you and I chuckling.

[00:03:55]

For sure, but you just cut onto my- I'll ruin the audio.

[00:03:58]

Okay. Yeah. Okay.

[00:03:58]

Ready?

[00:04:00]

I'm going to enjoy my shake.

[00:04:02]

I think I like this little life. This little life. Now you're shaking your shake on my audio. Oh, gosh. Okay, go again. It's fine. Honestly, the shake is like, so us. We're always doing something.

[00:04:17]

So us.

[00:04:19]

Wait, I had something else I wanted to say.

[00:04:22]

I'm sure you have a lot of things to say.

[00:04:24]

It's Friday. That's huge.

[00:04:26]

Major news. Major key to success.

[00:04:29]

Oh, I remember. I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday to an Ogie breather, number one toaster, friend of the family, Margot Fay-Lewin. She's an Ogie, a staple. If you listen, we're always talking about different Margos in our lives. She's one of them. Today's her birthday. Happy birthday. Love you dearly.

[00:04:45]

Happy birthday, Margot. I was texting her this morning. She and I have been friends for 24 years.

[00:04:50]

Wow. That'll make you feel old.

[00:04:52]

Right? That's insane.

[00:04:53]

That'll make you feel old.

[00:04:55]

We met when she was eight and I was seven.

[00:04:59]

You're so young.

[00:05:00]

Well, yeah. It's just because otherwise it doesn't make sense with the 24, but she's turning 24 plus 8.

[00:05:10]

Wow, not you putting her on blast.

[00:05:11]

We've been friends 24 years, which she's my oldest, longest friend.

[00:05:15]

That is so nice. Who's my oldest friend?

[00:05:20]

Probably someone from middle school. Me, of course. Olivia is my oldest, longest friend.

[00:05:24]

Yeah, you're my... I guess I'm Margot's. But who's Margot's?

[00:05:29]

All three of us.

[00:05:31]

Yeah.

[00:05:33]

Hey, Snitch.

[00:05:35]

Hey, Satchel Cratchell.

[00:05:37]

Every day, we'll give you a shout out in hopes that you listen. Yeah. This podcast is really us just trying to get our youngest sister's attention. To to try and make it on her TikTok algorithm to try and get someone to text her, Hey, did you listen to The Toast?

[00:05:50]

In an attempt to get our sister to think we're cool, we, coincidentally, created this billion-dollar media company.

[00:05:59]

Yeah. The voice of a generation. We're just hoping it reaches her.

[00:06:04]

Oh, my God. Speaking of Empire, I have three more episodes left in Gossip Girl. I know what happens in the final episode, and I know that they reveal who Gossip Girl is, but Ben doesn't know. I'm going to be recording because I really want to get his opinion on it. Because a season ago, they gave you a little teaser where they pretended Georgina was Gossip Girl, which actually was a good call. It should have just been Georgina.

[00:06:29]

It should have been someone like Georgina, an outsider with- With a computer. A computer and a voice.

[00:06:37]

It made total sense. But so that's probably what I'll do this weekend, finish Gossip Girl. And then my next journey with Ben is the OC.

[00:06:46]

I'm very excited for that.

[00:06:49]

And I need to look up what episode it happens in, but I don't want to spoil it, but the big thing that happens in the OC, where they play Imogen Heep. I'll record Ben's reaction to that, too.

[00:07:01]

Wow.

[00:07:02]

Yeah. He's never seen it. Isn't that crazy?

[00:07:04]

That is crazy. I'm excited for him to find out who Gossip Girl is.

[00:07:08]

I know. I don't think he really cares as much as we cared back in the day.

[00:07:11]

What if I just texted him right now and said, Link is Gossip Girl? That would be insane.

[00:07:19]

Actually, you just reminded me. I think I told Ben who Gossip Girl was as a joke, and he was like, No way. I'm like, No, I'm kidding. But it was. I think I did that. Either I thought about doing it or I actually did it. I can never remember if things are real or they're just my thoughts.

[00:07:36]

Just like seventh Heaven.

[00:07:38]

Exactly.

[00:07:39]

Classic turdy.

[00:07:41]

Who did you most relate to in seventh Heaven? Because I really obviously wanted to be a Jessica Biel, but we all knew I was a Beverley Mitchell. I'll tell you one thing. I wasn't the dad.

[00:07:55]

No, you were not the dad. You are not the father.

[00:07:59]

Are not the father.

[00:08:01]

Yeah. I didn't see myself reflected in the show.

[00:08:06]

Well, that makes sense because it was a house full of Christians, and we're Jewish, and I couldn't relate to the show on any singular level.

[00:08:12]

But there are a lot of similarities in Judeo Christian values.

[00:08:16]

I guess that's true. Like family values, traditional energy. Yeah, no, that's so fair. But they were just these blonde, blue-eyed, playing basketball in the yard. That wasn't going to be us ever.

[00:08:29]

No, certainly not the basketball. No, certainly not going to church. I guess it's Beverly Mitchell. Because you and I are both middle children girls. Obviously, I didn't relate to any of the boys. Jessica Biel is the oldest, and then there was the young girl, which were neither of those. So we are both Beverly Mitchell. I think we're all Beverly Mitchell.

[00:08:49]

We are. But Jessica Biel was also just older, but she really was also fully developed, for lack of a better word. She had really come into herself, and she was beautiful and young. No, I was not going to be relating to that character.

[00:09:02]

No, because we were seven.

[00:09:04]

Hagerd. Yeah. What channel was that on?

[00:09:07]

We were Little Girls. Was it ABC Family or WB11? Those were the only two we watched.

[00:09:13]

It was Giving ABC Family. That's a great call. Yeah. Rip, ABC Family.

[00:09:18]

Rip.

[00:09:19]

That was a mistake.

[00:09:20]

I don't know. Freeform does good stuff.

[00:09:22]

The Bold type.

[00:09:24]

The type of bold. Okay, wait.

[00:09:26]

I want you to sit on something because before 2024, at the end of last year, you and I discussed potentially creating a new segment on the show. That segment would be on Fridays, which is today.

[00:09:39]

Was it Dear Farmer?

[00:09:40]

No, and that segment would be Weanie of the Week.

[00:09:43]

Where we give the title to either someone we know in our lives, someone in pop culture who did something particularly Weenie-esque this week.

[00:09:52]

Now, we've only had two episodes this week, so there's not a lot to discuss, but I think we should try it. If it doesn't work, we'll cancel it. Unburden yourselves was a segment that just didn't work. It's okay to admit Fault to Admit Defeat. I think this has potential. I want to put it in your brain now. At the end of the Fast Five Stories, we will do our inaugural very first Weenie of the Week segment, and we'll have the tosters vote in the comments for who they thought was the bigger weenie, mine or yours.

[00:10:14]

Okay, but what if we didn't talk about them on the toast just for one reason or another?

[00:10:18]

It could be how Ben and Josh on Good Guys do What are you Nuts? It's not something that happened on the show. Something that happened to you in real life, this freak at the doctor's office. It could be anything.

[00:10:26]

Okay, cool. One name comes to mind early on, but we- Is it me? No, but it's similar to your name.

[00:10:36]

Claudia? Gloria?

[00:10:40]

Claudine Gay.

[00:10:41]

Oh, okay. Oh, that's good, too. Yeah, it's like a jack hole, like Andy's.

[00:10:46]

No, I know what Weanie of the Week is. I grew up on it.

[00:10:49]

Okay. Right after seventh Heaven, we would play Weanie of the Week. I'm talking about the segment. I'm talking about the segment.

[00:10:54]

Yeah, no, I got it. I got it.

[00:10:55]

Okay. I'm excited about that. I don't have my yet, but hopefully it'll come to me throughout the stories. I'd like to do someone in popular culture this week, not someone in my personal life. Nobody offended me in my personal life this week.

[00:11:07]

No, I would not put someone in my personal life on blast. Unless it were you.

[00:11:10]

If Ben did something really lame, I would give him Weanie of the week.

[00:11:13]

No, there are enough villain bad faith actors out there.

[00:11:17]

Not the bad faith actors.

[00:11:19]

What about bad faith actor of the week?

[00:11:21]

By the way, obsessed. Jackie, you guys, if you only knew how frequently in our personal lives, Jackie and I use the term bad faith actors. It is so funny, and it is so stupid, and it is the worst phrase ever when you use it in a serious way. People who write scholarly literature using the phrase bad faith actors in a serious way. We're using it ironically. It's so funny because you're a bad faith actor, Jackie.

[00:11:48]

You're acting in bad faith.

[00:11:50]

Well, that is what bad faith actors do.

[00:11:51]

Let me know if you also want to add BFA of the W.

[00:11:55]

Fuck, that's better.

[00:11:57]

No.

[00:11:58]

Weaning of the Week harks back to our childhood, and it really just rolls off the tongue. Bfaow really doesn't roll off the tongue.

[00:12:04]

Vote in the comments. No.

[00:12:06]

Or give us... We have to rephrase it, Bad Faith actor of the Week. It's not right. Bad Faith actor Friday or something.

[00:12:14]

Bad Faith actor Friday.

[00:12:17]

It's still not great.

[00:12:19]

No, it's not great. We can workshop it. I think Weanie of the Week. It really resonated with people when we shared it, and I think that's what it is. But alternate title, maybe in other countries where Weanie doesn't translate, it could be Bad Faith actor of the Week.

[00:12:34]

Okay, I like that for our global audience. Love that.

[00:12:41]

Love.

[00:12:42]

Love, love, love. Heart. Oh, by the way, somebody called out something so interesting about yesterday's episode. We were off for a month. We came back, we talked about everything under the sun, and we literally didn't even mention Taylor and Travis. They were quiet this month.

[00:12:56]

No, they weren't. They were having their holiday. They had their New Year's kiss. It's like either we talk about them the whole time. We're all or nothing about them. It's so true. And it's like we couldn't come back and talk all about Taylor and Travis, especially when there was some other big news, like Natalia Grace's real age.

[00:13:12]

Gipsy Rose is a free woman. Right.

[00:13:14]

There It's a major things to talk about. And so in deciding not to add it to the stories, it's like we don't talk about it at all. And if it is in the stories, we talk about it for 30 minutes. So yeah, that happened.

[00:13:25]

It's really all or nothing when it comes to Tavis.

[00:13:27]

Another cringey line. So that happened.

[00:13:30]

Oh, I love that. That's like you and Dana love to do this thing where you will round up the cringiest, most popular captions that people do.

[00:13:40]

The cringiest social media tropes.

[00:13:42]

Okay, so that's one of them. So I did a I did a thing.

[00:13:46]

I did a thing. Yeah, that's bad. What are the others? Well, Dana's big pet peeve is when people personify places. So like, New York City- Barcelona has my heart. New York City, you look good this morning.

[00:13:58]

Oh, hate.

[00:13:59]

Yeah, that's She's really... And also, she also hates when people are on vacation and they write, Never leaving. It's like, Girl, you have your return plate booked.

[00:14:08]

You are leaving. Okay. That one, if you're a stickler for facts, I understand. That one doesn't bother me as much. But New York, you look good today. Seriously, death.

[00:14:16]

Jail. But the thing is, you are leaving. Unless you're not leaving, then you're never leaving.

[00:14:22]

Say it. It would be better to be like, I never want to leave. Me neither. I get it.

[00:14:28]

Yeah. No, I feel That's fair. You're literally returning tomorrow night.

[00:14:32]

No, you had a plan to return before you even arrived.

[00:14:35]

Before you even heard that caption.

[00:14:36]

Right.

[00:14:37]

Those are some of Dana's poppins that I've taken on, and now I can't unsee them.

[00:14:41]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:14:43]

Shout out Dana. Love that.

[00:14:45]

Shout out, Dana. Should we dive in? The stories today, I did choose since Jacks was busy this morning being a mother of two. And I should say, I really don't like knowing what the stories are. I love being- On the edge of your seat. And people always ask, Do you really I don't know what Jacks is going to say? I really don't. I know what's coming today, and it's not as fun. The suspense has been ruined.

[00:15:07]

Yeah. It was a turdy's choice, choice, choice, was a turdy's choice.

[00:15:10]

It's a turdy's choice.

[00:15:12]

Choice, choice, choice, choice, choice.

[00:15:19]

I'm so glad you brought that up because I was thinking a lot this morning.

[00:15:24]

How frightening.

[00:15:26]

I was feeling sick. I was feeling I'm tired.

[00:15:32]

Sick and tired?

[00:15:33]

Yeah, because I stumbled across a video on TikTok of Layton Meester singing Summer Girls from Country Strong. Amazon posted it, I guess, to promote that Country Strong is on Prime Video. So it was my new comedy special, Lean In. And the comments were just like, Oh, my God, Leighton Meester was in a movie. What is this? It was so disappointing. And honestly, I was really let down, nobody knowing this film, not only not knowing it, never seeing it. I feel really exhausted putting this task. It's been on our backs for years, and it's like, no one will help. Why do people not care about this movie? It's insane.

[00:16:15]

It is insane, but that's why we have to do the work, and you guys need to educate yourselves.

[00:16:22]

You do. When I see people standing a stars board with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, which, don't get me wrong, was a good movie, and they don't even know that there was a movie before that.

[00:16:34]

That did it better?

[00:16:36]

That did it better. Similar premise, countryified. It just really makes me sick, and it makes me annoyed. The casting, Garret Headland, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Leighton Meester, the soundtrack, Dominion is Everything. Like, Gwyneth Paltrow. I'm tired, and I'm done.

[00:16:57]

Yeah, that's why you should say off of TikTok, there's really disgusting It's interesting things happening there. This is just one of them.

[00:17:03]

This is what people are always talking about when they say TikTok is bad.

[00:17:06]

Yeah, TikTok is poisoning the youth. Except I'm glad that Prime Video is stepping up to the plate, joining our task force.

[00:17:12]

I actually think it was Amazon Freevie, freevie, like their new platform.

[00:17:16]

No, Freevie is whittling its way in. Juryduty? Yeah, and they're like Freevie.

[00:17:24]

I don't love the name.

[00:17:26]

But it lets you know that it's Freevie.

[00:17:29]

It's They're free videos. Yeah. No, I get it.

[00:17:33]

No, I like what they're doing.

[00:17:35]

You'd rather see them up there shaking that thing?

[00:17:37]

I would, and I do sometimes. I can watch Country Strong there. Good to know.

[00:17:42]

Because I'm Country Strong. Hard to break. Like the Grat. Like, original music. You're tasteless. You're classless if you don't watch that movie. Yeah.

[00:17:55]

I had one more question to pose to the comments because I've been seeing salt burn everywhere.

[00:18:00]

Oh, I'm so glad you brought this up.

[00:18:03]

All I see is salt burn, and I have the privilege of having absolutely no idea what it's about. Is Jeremy Allen White in it, I think? No. Okay.

[00:18:12]

I don't know who's in it.

[00:18:13]

Jacob Alorty. Okay, Jacob Alorty. Now, you guys know me, and you know what I like.

[00:18:18]

No. And you know what I dislike. 1,000%, you should not watch this movie.

[00:18:22]

Should I watch this movie? Sound off in the comments without telling me anything about it because I want to go in blind if I do watch it.

[00:18:28]

I don't know anything about it I know it's the second half of the movie. Don't say it.

[00:18:33]

I don't even want to know a word to describe it. No, Jackie. I don't even want to know.

[00:18:37]

Well, then you're not going to be able to make a decision.

[00:18:39]

No, I don't want to make a decision. I want someone to tell me, You guys know me. Should I watch the movie? No.

[00:18:43]

Then Jackie absolutely should not watch this movie. Okay. Absolutely not. Okay.

[00:18:49]

I guess I'm not watching.

[00:18:52]

No, you're definitely not. If you would let me finish the sentence, you would know why, and you would immediately not watch it. Okay, tell me. It's extremely disturbing graphic, sexually. You would not...

[00:19:05]

Why is everyone being like, Oh, my gosh, Soulburn. He he, best movie.

[00:19:09]

They're not saying, He he, best movie. They're saying, Oh, my God, Soulburn. What the fuck did I just watch?

[00:19:14]

But it's like, not in a don't watch this way.

[00:19:20]

No, because it's like the curiosity of the mind. Like, oh, it's disturbing. What could possibly be so bad? We've all seen Game of Thrones. No, it's like, crazy.

[00:19:28]

You know what it is? I know that there's two scenes. I don't want to know what it is. Do you know what it is? It's a yes or no question. No.

[00:19:35]

I know one.

[00:19:36]

Do you know what it is? Yes or no?

[00:19:40]

Half. Yes and no. I know one thing that happens. Oh, TikTok. Yeah. It's like something in the graveyard. I don't know. It's up for you. Okay.

[00:19:49]

Glad I asked the question.

[00:19:51]

Because I was- You're a business owner. You're a mom of two. I know your time is precious. I wouldn't recommend you watch up.

[00:19:56]

I was saying to Zack, I was like, Have you heard about Saltburn? He was like, No, what's I'm like, I don't really know either. Maybe we should just watch it blind this weekend.

[00:20:03]

Oh, my God. No, Jackie. You definitely shouldn't. I was thinking about watching it with Ben because I keep finding weird things to watch and making Ben watch it with me. I actually wanted to do it just so I could seriously record him.

[00:20:15]

That's your favorite thing.

[00:20:17]

Yeah. I live in a content house. I'm literally the hype house.

[00:20:21]

You do live in a content house between you and Ben in your kitchen.

[00:20:24]

Yeah. With our new apartment, there's so much natural light. It just is begging for content to be made. I literally wake up and just make content. I feel like I'm literally Charlie D'Amelio. You are. Ben is little honey. I almost said Brian, Freddie and Slip.

[00:20:36]

That makes me Dixie.

[00:20:38]

You are Dixie. Totally.

[00:20:42]

Totally. Wiser, older sister.

[00:20:44]

Sure.

[00:20:45]

Paving her own way. Totally. That's Dixie.

[00:20:51]

Shall we?

[00:20:52]

We shall. Without further a do, do, do, do. Here are the stories that Turdi decided that you need to know this morning.

[00:20:59]

I'm so I'm excited because we have a new sponsor that Jackie has been talking about forever before they were a sponsor, Armra. You guys know that we are always on the look out for ways to strengthen immunity, improve fitness, metabolism, elevate our skin. Well, we recently discovered an incredible product, Armra. I saw it all over social media. All the cool girls are, all the esthetic girls, all the healthy girls are doing Amra. Colostrum is the first nutrition that we receive in life, and it contains all the essential nutrients that we need in order to thrive. And Amra is a proprietary concentrate of bovine colostrum that harnesses over 400 functional nutrients to strengthen your immune barriers, fuel cellular health for a host of research-backed benefits. Amra colostrum strengthens immunity and ignites metabolism. It fortifies gut health, it activates hair growth, And skin radiance, and it powers fitness, performance, and recovery. The name on everybody's lips is actually Armura. I know everybody keeps a packet of it in their purse. I was influenced. Before they became a sponsor, I just literally, I think, bought it off of social media because everyone was talking about it. And it's really fabulous.

[00:22:03]

I love having something in my daily routine that I can do every single day. It just makes me feel really productive. And the results are fabulous, especially now that I'm in my fitness era, I feel a noticeable difference. The results are fabulous.

[00:22:15]

You want to know how I know the results are fabulous? It's because I forgot to bring them with me on the trip. And the way I am falling apart, my hands are cracking my nails. I was bragging that I was able to sustain really long nails. Every single one of them I had to cut off because they started getting so dry again. It's just so great. The overall benefits are inexplicable, yet so noticeable. My hair was feeling so healthy. And what I love about Armor also is you can do one scoop, two scoop, or three scoops. It's a bioactive ingredient. So you can beef it up if you feel like you're on the low, which is where I am right now. So typically I would do one scoop a day, but now I'm doing two or three to make up for the deficit.

[00:22:51]

We've worked out a great offer for the toaster. You can receive 15% off your first order when you go to tryarmour. Com/toast or just enter code toast to get 15% off your first order. That's T-R-Y-A-R-M-R-A. Com/toast. Today's episode is also brought to you by POPY. It's no secret that soda has become a dirty word. They're too sugary, they're too syrupy. We don't blame you for wanting to leave it in the past, but that era of soda is officially over. I know a lot of people's resolutions are always like, quit soda. For me, it's never quit soda. I don't think that's realistic, but I definitely want to cut back. And especially with my fitness and health journey, I'm doing way less soda. And POPY is really, really helpful if you want to supplement that delicious treat at the end of the day. Poppy is a better for you soda made with clean ingredients, 5 grams of sugar or less, and prebiotics. Yes, there are literally prebiotics in each can. Die Coke could never. You can feel good about what's in your can with poppy's classic flavors like Cola, Docpop, Rootbeer, and you could say goodbye to empty calories, artificial ingredients, and high fructose corn syrup.

[00:23:48]

The flavors are bussing. I'm not going to lie. They really get as close to Cola Rootbeer flavors as they can. They're really, really good, and it's a great supplement if you're trying to cut back on soda or cut out soda completely. Their Docpop flavor tastes just like Dr. Pepper, and of course, their Cola tastes a lot like Coke. They have fresh fruit flavors like strawberry lemon, cherry limeade, orange and grape. They're bursting with flavors. You could shop Hoppy on Amazon for 15% off with code Toast 15 off in retailers nationwide. You can also shop. But if you want to use that code, Toast 1, 5 off, go to POPPY on Amazon and get 15% off. If you're a Diet Coke early and one of your resolutions is to cut back this year, I feel you. I see you. One thing at a time, try the cola flavor. It It is helpful, and it's just so much better for you. You'll feel less lethargic and less, honestly for me, gassy throughout the day. So thanks, POPY.

[00:24:37]

Thanks, POPY. Are you ready for our first story?

[00:24:42]

Yeah.

[00:24:43]

We're diving in after having our blinders on because the Golden Bachelor had his golden wedding last night. Golden Bachelor, Gary Turner, married, spoiler alert. We're just going to rip it off. Theresa Nist last night at La Quinta Resort & Club. It was a live televised wedding filled with- Yeah, so I only just recently put that together.

[00:25:06]

I knew that the wedding was airing yesterday, and I didn't realize the wedding was also happening yesterday.

[00:25:11]

It's a crazy thing. I didn't know any of this was happening except for following Raven Gates. I was watching her stories yesterday, and she said, I'm going to LA for a wedding. I was like, How lovely. Then later in the day, she was like, It's being filmed. It's Gary and Therese's wedding. I was like, Oh, my God, they're getting married right now, and it's live, and it's crazy.

[00:25:30]

Don't you ever just sit back and think, because at least I do, that you are so similar to Raven gates? Do you think about that a lot?

[00:25:37]

In just our life trajectory?

[00:25:39]

You both married guys from Dallas. She lives in Dallas. You have two children, literally both children born the same week.

[00:25:46]

Yeah. Her kids are the exact same distance apart as mine. They're one month ahead of us, though.

[00:25:52]

No, you guys just remind me a lot of each other.

[00:25:54]

No, I relate to her content a lot. That's why I'm always watching with Sound on. Then I knew what she was up to. That's how I learned about all of this. Also- About Gary. A lot of the bachelor couples and bachelor favorites were in attendance. It was crazy to see who are the long-standing bachelor couples. It was Raven and Adam, Jade and Tana, Ashley and Jared, Kaylyn.

[00:26:14]

Dean and Kaylyn.

[00:26:15]

Then I saw Kaylyn, Bristow, and Tasha were there. But there's drama, right?

[00:26:20]

Okay. I don't know if there's drama between Kaylyn and Tasha. I know there's drama between Kaylyn and her Instagram followers, but I don't know if Tasha is mad. Basically, for anybody who doesn't know- I didn't know.

[00:26:34]

I only know what you and Margot briefly told me when I asked.

[00:26:37]

Kaylyn Bristow had a New Year's Eve party at her house. A lot of bachelor people were there, including Zack Clarke, who won Tasha's season, was engaged to Tasha, but obviously, they're no longer together.

[00:26:48]

After running a marathon, they couldn't make it.

[00:26:52]

Relatable. Then a lot of people saw footage because it was a lot of reality stars and just people posting content from this party. People saw just a A couple of instances where I think maybe Zack's arm was around Caitlin. No smoking gun. Could have just been very friendly types of behaviors. Bachelor Nation went after Caitlin for that. For one, dating someone that Tasha used to date. Two, I guess dating someone in recovery. That's his full-time job. He runs recovery centers. He's really involved in the sober community. Caitlin, she has a brand of wine, and wine is a big part of her wine culture. It's a big part of her brand. People were like, That's inappropriate. They It just came for her for literally everything, and she just went off.

[00:27:33]

Is there any proof that they're dating?

[00:27:35]

No, we don't even know if this is confirmed.

[00:27:37]

Okay. Because if they're dating- That's what Caitlin was saying.

[00:27:40]

She was like, You guys know nothing. Right.

[00:27:42]

If they're not dating, this is a moot point. But even if they are dating, and she is a wino, and he's a sober person. Why are you guys acting like he doesn't have agency over his life and who he chooses to date?

[00:27:53]

I have to imagine she wouldn't have responded if they're not dating. Do you know what I mean? They're not dating.

[00:27:58]

Do you think they are dating?

[00:28:00]

I do. I also feel like Tasha doesn't care. Honestly, I think Tasha liked him, but I think she stayed engaged him for as long as it was appropriate after the show. She was single for a little bit, and she's been in a relationship for a long time with Luke from Summerhouse.

[00:28:14]

They're in a real relationship?

[00:28:16]

Oh, yeah. I don't know if this is bad, but I just saw them at the jet game. Cute. Yeah, they're fully together. They're always spotted together.

[00:28:22]

Yeah, I did see a couple pictures, but I didn't realize how many times I've seen a couple pictures over how long they're together.

[00:28:31]

Yeah, no. Tasha, I feel I know her, and I think she's a real girls' girl. I think she would be really happy if these two were in love. Honestly, because she's so happy in her life right now, I think. I don't think she would be mad. She doesn't seem like that type of girl.

[00:28:46]

Got it. Okay. Well, I just saw that they weren't together, but I didn't see them together, though. I just saw on Raven's Instagram, she was with Tasha, and she was with Kaitlyn.

[00:28:56]

Yeah. They were both at the wedding. Honestly, I don't think there's any beef, but I have no information. I'm just guessing.

[00:29:00]

I have no information, but if Kaitlyn and Zack are together, I could see that.

[00:29:06]

I don't know if I could see it. I was shocked by the pairing of those two.

[00:29:11]

I know what you say. I understand these words, but I don't necessarily agree.

[00:29:17]

Back to your point, I agree with you that it's really interesting to see who ABC and the Bachelor franchise keep in the fold and who they consider to be their stars. Obviously, if you're a couple and you're still together, you should get invited, of course. But it definitely is It's interesting to see who... Was Jade Roper-Tolbert there?

[00:29:32]

Yes, of course.

[00:29:34]

Of course. She's a star of the franchise.

[00:29:36]

Yeah. Was nick Vial there? I feel like they love having him around and Ben Higgins.

[00:29:41]

Ben Higgins was there. I saw... I don't know if nick Vial was. He definitely was.

[00:29:45]

He definitely was. He lives in town.

[00:29:47]

He lives in town. He literally is the go-to reality TV podcast these days, right? Right. Anytime any reality show blows up, whether it be Netflix, they go on his show. But he didn't post anything. He has no stories up. I don't think so.

[00:30:06]

I want to see a roundup, Bachelor Stars. That's us Weekly lives for this article.

[00:30:13]

Right.

[00:30:13]

We were at the- Gary Wedding. And it is Gary.

[00:30:19]

I can't go down this road again.

[00:30:20]

I really can't. On her story, Raven said Gary. Okay, see every- I don't think that makes it a confirmation.

[00:30:27]

I don't.

[00:30:27]

Maybe she just listens to the toast. See every Bachelor Nation star who made Gary Weddings wedding list.

[00:30:34]

Gary Weddings?

[00:30:36]

Okay, I don't know these people. Oh, Michelle Young and Jack Lewis. I don't know if this is obviously her boyfriend I don't know if he's a bachelor person, but Michelle and her man. Michelle. Okay, these two people, I don't know if they were ever on the bachelor. They might be like new. Tasha, Kaylyn. Oh, Dean died his hair.

[00:30:59]

Dean looked hot. He was wearing this hat. He looked hot.

[00:31:02]

Zack Shalcross and Katie Bigger. He was the bachelor. Is this his chosen woman?

[00:31:07]

The most recent Zack. Yeah, wow.

[00:31:09]

Irrelevant. They look in love in this picture. Oh, Trista and Ryan and their kids. Yes.

[00:31:15]

Their kids are grown.

[00:31:16]

Grown. Ben Higgins, Ashley I, Patty James, Matt James' mom. Did she go on?

[00:31:23]

She was a contestant.

[00:31:24]

She was a contestant. Love that. That's cute. Oh, Kenny from Seasons Last, he was the boy band manager. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But also, why wouldn't- Because he was in a high-profile couple for a while. I don't know if they're still together, but when he went on Paradise, that girl, I forget her name, but they were together. Oh, here she is, Marie. I guess they're still together.

[00:31:43]

I find it shocking that Matt and Tyler weren't there. I feel like they're the biggest stars of Bachelor Nation right now.

[00:31:49]

It's crazy if Matt wasn't there and his mom was, and he's still with Rachel from his season. They should be there.

[00:31:56]

Do you think that Bachelor Nation considers... I mean, the powers that at the Bachelor production, do you think they consider Matt and Rachel a couple that's in the green? With the Bachelor, with the powers that be, you're either sanctioned or you're not. You get invited to stuff and you get opportunities, dancing with the stars. Or you're in the red zone and nobody wants to talk to you. I feel like there was all that drama with Matt and Rachel, but they were literally so in love.

[00:32:22]

I mean, the fact that his mom is on the show, it probably means they have good feelings towards one another. But after they took that bus and over them. I don't know. On both ends, if they're willing to...

[00:32:38]

I had another thought.

[00:32:39]

Except. But I think if Matt's mom is on the show, it's obviously fine.

[00:32:43]

I had another thought. Isn't it crazy? Because Matt and Rachel won the bachelor, but they're not engaged.

[00:32:50]

It's crazy by bachelor standards. Because they didn't get engaged. But not for their age. No, no. Just because of the bachelor. Technically, they've been dating for three years.

[00:33:01]

So normal.

[00:33:02]

So normal. They're like such a cute couple.

[00:33:05]

Agreed. Other names- Well, congrats, Gary.

[00:33:11]

Congrats, grads.

[00:33:13]

Terry. Terry? Terry and Gary.

[00:33:16]

Terry and Gary. I still want to watch Golden Bachelor. I'm so glad they got married. To me, the proof is in the pudding. These were two people who were serious. As much as you want to slander Gary and drag his name around town, he wanted to find love and get married and have his next chapter. That's what he did. He's a man of his words. So I hope you're eating their words. I hope everyone is eating their words.

[00:33:35]

I'm also just relieved that the attempt to take Gary down didn't work.

[00:33:41]

No, it couldn't work.

[00:33:43]

Yeah. Sometimes these insane social media campaigns actually make waves. And I'm so glad this one did not.

[00:33:51]

Yeah. Are you ready for our next story?

[00:33:58]

Yeah.

[00:33:59]

Kelly Clarkson jokes that her stylists only want to put her in tight shit after her weight loss. Kelly Clarkson is a skinny legend after joking about her weight loss at a Las Vegas residency. Performance of her show, chemistry. In a fan-recorded video shared on TikTok, she interacted with lucky fans before taking a shot with someone celebrating their birthday.

[00:34:18]

Kelly Clarkson takes shots.

[00:34:21]

I know. She's so versatile.

[00:34:23]

No, I think that's crazy.

[00:34:24]

She couldn't really move around in her drum suit. She said, Oh, boy, I really can't bend in these. Dude, this is tight. Like, I lost weight, and my styling team is like, Let's get you into this tight shit. Still, she successfully grabbed and down the shot to the delight of her cheering fans, one of whom called her a skinny legend.

[00:34:40]

Kelly Clarkson has lost weight. Do I care? No. For me, the major story here is Kelly Clarkson is finally wearing normal clothes. That was just something we all didn't talk about. For a really long time, especially when she was promoting chemistry, she was dressing like a grandmother at Woodstock. I don't know what the vibe was. It It was so weird. It was just this crazy, quirky thing about Kelly. It's clear that in the new year, not even in the new year, because it happened towards the end of the year, she got a new stylist who just started dressing her. It's not even gorgeous things. It's like things you could buy at the mall. But it's good. It's better. I'm grateful.

[00:35:16]

Yeah, I'm looking at some of these photos, and I even think in this new... I don't know which are the old and which are the new. I guess Kelly Clarkson... We could go on the record. Kelly Clarkson doesn't have the best style. No, no.

[00:35:28]

For a while, she had bad style.

[00:35:31]

But do you think that's part of her brand of being relatable? If she was this glamor post style queen, maybe she wouldn't touch the hearts of all of us like she has.

[00:35:41]

Okay, so I'm so glad you brought that up because, yes, she cannot be a glamazon. It's the antithesis of everything that she does. She's like America's queen. She's so relatable. What they say, feed the masses, dine with the classes. That's Kelly. However, in her new styling era, like I just said, It's not gorgeous glamazon. It's good. It's stuff you buy at the mall. It's acceptable. It's passable. By no means is it giving runway. Kelly Clarkson is not going to the Met Gala, and that's why we love her.

[00:36:10]

And that's why we love her. If she ever were to go to the Met Gala, which I actually feel like She will because she lives in New York now, and she's- Yeah, actually, she should go to the Met Gala. It doesn't get more A-list than Kelly Clarkson.

[00:36:20]

It's so true. And it doesn't get more... But everything Kelly stands for is the antithesis of the Met Gala. Met Gala is exclusivity. It's not fun. It's so serious. Kelly is free. She's open to everyone. Everyone can watch a Kelly Clarkson show. She's for everyone. She's really the opposite. She shouldn't go.

[00:36:41]

No. I would hope that if she got an invitation, she would know it would be in the best It's in the interest of her brand to not go.

[00:36:48]

But how do you say no to the Met Gala? You can't.

[00:36:50]

I think she could. If anyone could, it's Kelly.

[00:36:53]

Yeah.

[00:36:54]

Or find a way to make it, like, calify it. Take us with her. Make it relatable.

[00:36:59]

She needs to go with... Every now and then there's a crazy brand that buys a table at the Metgala. Remember an Instagram bought one? We need Kohl's. We need Wayfair because that's Kelly. We need Wayfair to buy a table at the McElla, and then Kelly can Yeah.

[00:37:15]

She'll take her shoes off on something just relatable. Jennifer Lawrencey. Jennifer Lawrencey. Yeah.

[00:37:22]

Has Jennifer Lawrence been on the Kelly Clarkson show? I feel like when she was promoting No Hard Feelings, maybe.

[00:37:28]

Yeah, maybe. For as much as I love Kelly, I don't watch the show that often. I guess I don't really watch any shows, let alone at four o'clock.

[00:37:37]

No. For as much as we love Kelly, I've never watched the show, but I've never scrolled past one of the clips online, ever. I watch every single clip.

[00:37:46]

When I ever am somewhere at the nail salon and it's playing, I always enjoy it. Jolly Good Time. I'm always thinking, Wow, this Kelly, is there anything she can't do?

[00:37:55]

There isn't anything she can't do. There It isn't anything she can't do. There's nothing she can't do.

[00:38:02]

It's double negative.

[00:38:04]

Yeah, I love double negatives. That's the one thing I learned in English grammar class that really actually stuck with me. You know what?

[00:38:09]

You are double negative because you're so negative that you're positive.

[00:38:15]

Jackie, I need to figure out how to reword that. That's my housewife's tagline. That's the essence of me.

[00:38:22]

That's the essence of you. It's so many negatives that add up to you being positive.

[00:38:27]

I love.

[00:38:29]

I love feeling seen and understood on a Friday. No, literally.

[00:38:32]

So all that to say, whoever is styling Kelly Clarkson, they're doing a very good job. The jumpsuit that she wore in this video is like, it looks great on Kelly. It was cool three years ago, which is so on brand for Kelly Clarkson.

[00:38:44]

Yeah, I'm going to check out the video quickly.

[00:38:46]

It's from Revolve, literally from three years ago.

[00:38:49]

I'm not logged into TikTok.

[00:38:50]

Jackie, you're going to recognize the jumpsuit.

[00:38:53]

Oh, okay. It's classic.

[00:38:55]

It's perfect.

[00:38:56]

It's perfect. Just like the woman herself.

[00:38:58]

Exactly.

[00:39:00]

Our next story. Jeremy Allen White strips down to his underwear while eating an apple for a new Calvin Klein campaign. Is this everyone... So people, yesterday, when I did my box of what to talk about, they were like, Jeremy Allen White. Is this why we need to talk about him and his apple?

[00:39:15]

Yeah, he's the new face of Calvin Klein, which is always a big deal. The Mark Wahlberg one is a famous one. Michael B. Jordan. It's always a really big deal. True. The fact that they chose him was really smart. The video they put out is just like...

[00:39:29]

What is it? Seductive?

[00:39:33]

No, he's from Brooklyn, so it's very New York. Honestly, it looks like the trailer for Real Housewives of New York. I literally feel like they were on the same exact roof.

[00:39:41]

Oh, he's just sitting here talking.

[00:39:43]

I feel like it's just a classic roof that lends itself to studio and production companies. I swear to God, it's the same roof. He's holding an apple because it's the big apple. He literally looks like a Real Housewife of New York.

[00:39:56]

Maybe he is. Maybe it's an announcement.

[00:39:59]

He's just working in this little pair of white undies, and they're really white, and it's tiny. It's provocative, and it's making waves. I'm sure the collection did really well when it launched yesterday. It's just everything's coming up, me, Allen White, these days. Do you feel that way?

[00:40:16]

I do feel that way, and I feel a little left behind, but I'm also leaving myself behind. I don't want to go and watch the bear.

[00:40:23]

If you've never seen him in anything, you might not get it. I don't get it. Because he's really not... He has an amazing body, but He's a short king, and he's not traditionally the most handsome. I don't think he's got that timeless, classic handsome face. He's really very unique-looking, and he always plays very sexy roles. In Shameless, he was this bad boy, and he fucks He's a college professor. You have to watch him to really get him. If you haven't watched him, I understand why you feel left behind.

[00:40:50]

Yeah, but I'm okay being behind. I don't have to be... Not everyone is for everything, and every trend is for everyone. That's fine. I'm happy for the Jeremy Allen White stands. I This is a nice-looking campaign. I can appreciate the human form.

[00:41:05]

Yeah, he's really, really handsome. He's also dating Rosalia. Cute.

[00:41:10]

Kylie's friend. Kylie's friend, Rosalia, yeah. I could see them all double dating because I could see him friendly with Timothée.

[00:41:17]

No, no. Okay. Timothée, Kylie, Bad Bunny, Kendall, Rosalia, and Jeremy Allen-White.

[00:41:25]

That's a crew. Unstoppable. The Sexy 6.

[00:41:28]

The 6 Chicks.

[00:41:29]

The 6 Chicks. I hope they have a nice time, even though people are saying Bad Bunny and Kendall broke up and now they're back together.

[00:41:35]

Even then I heard they got reconciled. I actually like them as a couple. I want them to work out.

[00:41:39]

When I saw the headline that they broke up, I had a feeling of sadness.

[00:41:45]

Also, Kendall's a long term girl. She makes things work. She's really not a fling flung.

[00:41:48]

No, but I feel like she's always in a long term relationship that breaks up once or twice.

[00:41:53]

Yeah, it's so classic.

[00:41:55]

But I hope that's not the case here.

[00:41:57]

I just want to say this was five stars to Jeremy Allen White's team for booking this, and five stars to Calvin Klein for choosing Jeremy Allen-White. I think it's the perfect partnership, and I love when people actually do good things.

[00:42:07]

Yeah, I agree. The pictures are nice looking.

[00:42:11]

If anybody who works in location scouting can confirm that this is where they filmed the new Real Housewise of New York, it totally is. Yeah, super cute. It's the same exact skyline.

[00:42:24]

Are you ready for our next story, number 4?

[00:42:27]

Yeah.

[00:42:28]

How Gipsy Rose Blanchard Blanchard feels about ex-Nicolas Godjohns amid his life in prison sentence.

[00:42:36]

I do wonder, we talked about this yesterday, what's the vibe?

[00:42:39]

What's going on there? The name on everyone's lips this holiday season is Gipsy Rose Blanchard, and she's doing the most. She did an interview with Good Morning America, and she was asked about Nicholas. She said, I'm sure that we both have a lot of regrets. All I can really say is that I did my time. He's doing his time for his part, and I wish him well on his journey. Damn, she hit him with the wish you well.

[00:43:02]

Yeah, no. It's giving good day, sir.

[00:43:06]

Yeah. No, I hope for the best for you. It's like goodbye and good riddance.

[00:43:11]

Yeah, it doesn't appear as though she'll be keeping in communication with him. It seems like she's distancing herself from him, which I get he is a murderer. However, the person he murdered was for her. I don't know how you can just like, he killed for her, and now he's rotting in prison, and she's married to someone new. It's It's a doggy dog world out there. Look at Gipsy Rose.

[00:43:32]

Yeah. We could all learn a lot from Gipsy Rose.

[00:43:36]

I agree, and I stand by that. Yeah.

[00:43:39]

I love her. She's got these men wrapped around her finger.

[00:43:43]

No, it's so true. Also, when I read this article this morning, I was shocked, beyond shocked, to learn that Gipsy Rose is 32 years old.

[00:43:50]

What did you think? I don't know.

[00:43:51]

I thought she was much younger. I guess because they say that people become stunted at the age that they became famous. For Gipsy Rose, that would have been 14. I I guess I didn't realize how long she was in prison for. I don't know. I would have assumed she was 22 now. She did something in her teens. She went to jail for a little bit.

[00:44:08]

How long was she in jail? Ten years?

[00:44:11]

I think eight.

[00:44:12]

Yeah.

[00:44:14]

Well, This Gipsy Rose thing is just like, it's a moral relativism because murder is bad, right? Yeah. Unless it's self-defense. In a way, this was self-defense.

[00:44:29]

Yeah, with a bit of revenge.

[00:44:32]

Right. But it's not like Gipsy did it. This random dude did, Ryan. Yeah.

[00:44:36]

No, there's a lot of moral questions here that we are asking ourselves. But at the end of the day, as Gipsy said, she did the time for the crime.

[00:44:46]

And she's not looking back.

[00:44:48]

She's giving tabula rassa.

[00:44:50]

Maybe she's listening to the toast.

[00:44:52]

She's clean slate. New man. Maybe that's her resolution. New year, new man, who dis.

[00:44:57]

Maybe that's her resolution. Like, leave all toxic energy in the past.

[00:45:01]

Yeah, she deserves a tabula rassa.

[00:45:03]

She does. I mean, she did a hard time. She did a hard time.

[00:45:09]

Yeah.

[00:45:11]

It's like my worst nightmare.

[00:45:13]

Well, just stay out of trouble, turdy Lou.

[00:45:16]

But I absolutely plan to. I don't plan on committing any crimes ever. However, I am afraid, not that I'm going to be framed or anything, but your life changes in a flash, even if it's self-defense. Let's say somebody breaks into my I grab a knife. I still could end up in prison if I killed them.

[00:45:34]

It depends what state you live in.

[00:45:38]

1,000%. There's some crazy laws. I was just having this conversation with someone. If somebody comes into your house, I forget what the law is called. We're talking about some case.

[00:45:44]

I forgot. Here, stand your ground law in Florida. Was I talking to you? Probably. Who else you talk to?

[00:45:50]

Stand your ground. Right. If someone comes into your house, and I don't think they have it in New York, and tries to steal.

[00:45:56]

Anything. They're on your property. You could stand your ground.

[00:46:01]

What if they're just taking a look at your yard or something? You could just kill them.

[00:46:04]

Well, then it's up for the lawyer.

[00:46:07]

The law becomes a little suspicious there. But if somebody comes onto my property with a weapon, Stand your ground. You're done. You're done. That's what I'm saying. I could end up in prison, not by my own accord. I don't plan. I'm not a criminal. It's not in my DNA.

[00:46:24]

What you're saying is things happen.

[00:46:26]

Things happen. Okay, let's say I'm in a bodega and somebody comes in and holds up the bodega. I'm not going to stand by and do nothing.

[00:46:36]

Yeah. Well, where you live, the Good Samaritan, it doesn't work out for you.

[00:46:41]

No. That was that story of that bodega owner who literally somebody came in and tried to kill him and robbed his whole store. He fought back. He was this nine-year-old man. It was this amazing heroic story. The whole thing was caught in video. He fought back, and he literally took the knife and saved his life and killed the guy. He ended up in prison. I was like, so that could happen to me.

[00:46:59]

There were charges I don't think he even killed the guy. I think he just stabbed him in defense. There were charges against him, and he was like, Fuck this. He went back to his country. That was such an upsetting story. Or that was like the Marine.

[00:47:10]

That story really galvanized New York. People were really upset.

[00:47:15]

Also the Marine on the subway.

[00:47:17]

That's what I'm saying, Jackie. Right. Something like that. I don't plan on committing any crimes, but I couldn't end up in prison, and that's my worst nightmare.

[00:47:25]

No good deed, turdy Lou.

[00:47:27]

Yeah, no. I'm just going to start minding my own business, which is so hard for me.

[00:47:29]

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

[00:47:33]

Yeah.

[00:47:33]

A little Peloton fun. Obsessed with this story. Christopher Nolan recalls getting wasted by his Peloton instructor mid-workout. So Christopher Nolan is writing a wave of acclaim thanks to the success of Oppenheimer.

[00:47:46]

Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer.

[00:47:48]

The sweeping biopic about the father of the atomic bomb. But you can't please all people all the time. While accepting the award for best director from the New York Film Critics Circle on Wednesday night, Nolan related an the confusing story of a recent criticism he received in an unexpected arena. He said, I was on my Peloton doing a high interval workout. I'm dying. The instructor started talking about one of my films and said, Has anyone else seen this? Because that's a couple hours of my life, I'll never get back again. So of course, people went to investigate Which Instructor, Which Film. It's most likely Jen Sherman who said in a Peloton clip, This song is from a soundtrack of a movie called Tenant. Anybody see this shit? Did Can anybody see this besides me? Because I need a manual. Someone's got to explain this. Yeah, I'm not kidding. What the fuck was going on in that movie? Do you understand? Seriously, you need to be a neuroscientist to understand. And that's two and a half hours in my life that I want back.

[00:48:44]

Lol. I'm obsessed with this story for two reasons. One, because I recently started following Jen Sherman because I found out she's an enormous toaster. So her and I talk all the time. And second, because when Cody Rigsby was on the toast, I asked him, I was like, When you're doing your classes, do you ever think about how many Pelatons there are and how many people have Pelatons in their home and how many of those people might be famous or somewhat important? Does that ever cross your mind? Because it would be all I think about. Peloton is a very upper echelon type of thing. It's a $2,000 bike. Not anyone could just buy it. You're definitely in this elite class. I said, I'm like, Do you think about what celebrity could be listening to your class right now? He's like, Honestly, no, I've never thought of it. I was shocked because that's for me what I would think about.

[00:49:29]

I never thought of It's not for them either. When I used to watch, they're always talking about celebrities because they're always talking about music, right? He's always talking about Kelly Clarkson. It's like, it never occurred to me, does Kelly do a Cody Rigsby ride to get down to her own music?

[00:49:42]

By the way, I just saw that Peloton at least a whole new Kelly Clarkson series.

[00:49:47]

Got to get on my bike.

[00:49:48]

Her catalog has been added.

[00:49:50]

Oh, my God. I have to get back on my Peloton. I haven't been on it in so long, but I'm cleared. I could.

[00:49:55]

I have done a Peloton a few times now because there's one in my gym in my building. It's like a communal one, and I made an account $40 a month. My God. Loving it.

[00:50:07]

Maybe Peloton today.

[00:50:09]

If you find a good Kelly Clarkson class, please share with the class.

[00:50:12]

I'm such a good class curator. That's really my special skills.

[00:50:14]

Oh, that's the Of course. Sitting on that fucking bike with that thing up your ass looking for a class.

[00:50:19]

That's why I keep doing the same class over and over. You have to do it on the app on your phone before you get on the bike. You need to get hyped about classes.

[00:50:24]

I just want to say, shout out to Ali Love. I really like her. She's got this beautiful smile. Who? Ali Love.

[00:50:32]

Do you know her? Oh, yes. And she does some country rides.

[00:50:35]

Well, I was looking for a Taylor Swift class, and she had a 1989 one, so I just went with it. And I've literally only done that class because every time I get on the bike, I'm like, I'm not looking for another class. The one time I chose another class with a different instructor, it was a country. I just hated it. It's so personal.

[00:50:49]

Yeah. You know what I also like to do is treadmill classes. You could do it on a regular treadmill. And it gives you running walking intervals. Oh, I like that. Olivia Amado is the I'm really swirly for that.

[00:51:01]

Just the thing with music is it's so personal. But we have the same.

[00:51:04]

You can trust me.

[00:51:06]

Yeah. I've actually been thinking because, weirdly, a lot of Pelton instructors follow me on social media. I will put together, especially when it comes to Taylor Swift, Because her music was just added. And honestly, they could do better with the selections. I really feel that way. I know you need fast songs, slow songs. I know you need it all. I need to work with someone to create a Taylor Swift class. It's what? I only do 30 minutes classes. It's seven songs, not even six. Let me help you. Help me help you.

[00:51:32]

Or I mean, the Peloton community and the toaster community, like the Venn diagram, it's really just a circle.

[00:51:37]

Jackie, so I added #PelaToaster to my account. It's popping. My username, I made a really long time ago. I think during COVID, you convinced me to do some five-minute floor workouts, and so I just made an account. My account username is Theo's Mom.

[00:51:52]

I'll take that. I made you the account, and I made that your name. Oh, you did? Yeah, it's Theo's Mom.

[00:51:58]

Yeah, it's Theo's Mom. I can't bring myself to- Change it.

[00:52:02]

Change it? Well, you're still Theo's Mom.

[00:52:04]

Yeah, but I put #PelaToaster, and I also put #I standwithisrael in my- No, it's so crazy how everyone gets so political on there. Oh, yeah. No, then I was looking because I I'm just going to do Peloton, but I'm like, Let me see. The most popular ones are like, Mom's Who Peloton, Teacher Toners, or whatever. But then I was getting in, there's like, political, literally, Republican-Democrat Peloton. It's crazy. I just put hashtag Peloton and hashtag I stand with Israel. But with the Taylor Swift classic, there's always a toaster in it. When somebody high fives you who also has a hashtag Peloton, there's nothing that makes you feel better.

[00:52:41]

No, it's like when you're in the class, you go to your hashtag, and sometimes I'll just run down and high five all the Pella Toasters.

[00:52:47]

Do you do a class that's happening live or you do prerecorded ones? Is that a dumb question?

[00:52:51]

I typically would do prerecorded. When I was really into Peloton, then I would get hype for the new class, but mostly prerecorded because I'm on my own timetable.

[00:52:59]

I like the idea of doing a Peloton walk-run.

[00:53:04]

Try it. It's really great, and it's a good workout.

[00:53:08]

No, I love that. I think I'll do that today.

[00:53:10]

Love that for you. Anyway, so Christopher Nolan was watching Peloton. That's so crazy, and she started talking trash about his film.

[00:53:17]

But it's not crazy.

[00:53:18]

No, it's not.

[00:53:19]

Peloton is so popular. It's very expensive, so you really target an upper class vibe. And so a world renowned director having a bike, it It tracks. And it's just so unfortunate for Jen Sherman. She made a video responding. She was like, This shit only happens to me. It was honestly, her response was so funny, but she was like, Honestly, I stand by what I said. I did not understand one fucking minute of that movie. The entire thing went over my head. I'm sure it was really good if you got it, but I didn't get it.

[00:53:48]

Yeah. No regurts.

[00:53:50]

No regurts.

[00:53:51]

She said what she said.

[00:53:53]

She said what she said.

[00:53:54]

That's just funny to think about. It happens all the time with the toast. We'll talk about the most A random person, and I never even crossed my mind that they might hear Philip Phillips. Philip Phillips. I could die.

[00:54:08]

No. We will talk about the most random people on the toast without even thinking that they will hear back. Nine times out of 10, they send us a message. Jack and I just screenshot and send it to each other, and we just died. We just died.

[00:54:21]

My cheeks just clench, and I just- I can't even read it. I just want to go in a hole. Even if I'm saying something nice about someone, I don't want them to hear it. That's weird to me.

[00:54:30]

No, I completely agree.

[00:54:31]

I stand with Jen Sherman.

[00:54:36]

Those are the fast-size stories. But before we wrap up for the week and for the day, let's do our first ever Weedy of the Week, our weekly segment where Jackie and I both nominate someone to be the Weenie of the Week. Now, being Weanie of the Week means you did something weenie-ish, you're giving loserish energy, or you're just like, It's not the vibe. So, Jacks, without further ado, who is your Weanie of the Week?

[00:54:58]

My Weanie of the Week is still Claudine Gay. Nothing in this episode gave me a bigger weanie than her. The anti-Semite, the plagiarist. She's got to go. What's so crazy is, so she was fired. She was the dean of or President of Harvard. She was forced to resign after not even the anti-Semitism, which we all saw, but numerous instances of plagiarism when it's like, when you're in college, if you plagiarize anything, you're done.

[00:55:21]

It's the biggest crime.

[00:55:23]

You're done. So how are you going to have the head of the institution who's a plagiarist? It's the biggest. There's really nothing worse you could do on a college campus. In in academia than plagiarize.

[00:55:32]

Because you could do something worse on the college campus.

[00:55:34]

In the academic sphere. In a literary sense. Yeah. No, in the coursework than plagiarize. That's a good one. But still, that was barely enough. She resigned. But then it turns out she's resigned as president, but she's still going to be working as a poli-sci professor, getting the same salary of almost a million dollars a year.

[00:55:53]

She's going to remain as a faculty member, making $900,000 a year.

[00:55:56]

Unacceptable. She's a bit like a weenie.

[00:55:58]

I don't even I don't want to nominate someone because she's so weenie-ish. But my weenie of the week is different. My weaning of the week, the person who I'm about to nominate, really personifies the essence and the meaning of the word weaning. It's Gipsy Rolls Blanchard's She's her best boyfriend. You literally killed for her, and she won't even come visit you. You got played.

[00:56:20]

You got played, but she's the master player.

[00:56:24]

I know. I guess we're all just weanies in Gipsy's world.

[00:56:27]

Yeah. What's the opposite of Weanie of the Week? Queenie of the Week? I love. Gipsy Rose Blanchard.

[00:56:39]

Queenie of the Week is Gipsy Rose Blanchard.

[00:56:41]

I have a feeling she's going to be Queenie of the Year, but stay tuned to find out. The year is young.

[00:56:45]

Do you think she'll be time persons of the year?

[00:56:47]

I think she should be.

[00:57:35]

No, that's an interesting point. We might get flagged.

[00:57:37]

Not flagged, but Instagram will be like, Oh, maybe we should mute them for everyone.

[00:57:42]

No, that's a good point.
