It's Jackson, Claude, and we're a favorite show. The best five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. They sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast, and happy Thursday. Hope everybody's having a great latter half. Hey, La-Turt. Hey, Je-Turt. Wearing the new necklace we bought yesterday. Yeah, we went shopping. Oh, yes, you guys. Yesterday, we went to Hill House. Yes. My favorite store. We needed dresses, you know? We did. We needed some nap dresses. And I think we had a stunning success. We found, like, a new version that we like. It was a major success. Because it's always, like, the Ellie nap dress. Which is, like, the classic. The classic. We love. We pretty much own every style, so there's not much more to do in that category. And we found, like, another kind of dress.
That we also liked. It's a little different. Like, not to be crazy. It is a little different. It's a little different. So that was a great success. I got this new necklace. Yeah, okay. Tell me about your pearl necklace. I'll tell you about it. I just, you were saying on the show that, like, we're just buying jewelry. We are definitely, at least I can speak for myself, but I think I'm going to include you in that, even though, like, you're not even talking about how, like, skinny you're getting and it's, like, offensive. Well, that's because, like, no one's, like, said anything. You're just, like, you're dropping LBs like a postpartum woman should. I, like, just kind of skipped that part. No, I definitely stalled this summer. No, I feel like you're just looking better and better every day. That's so sweet of you, but the scale begs to differ. It's been a plateau summer
in order to hit that slope again. Yes, but still, at this era in our lives, I do believe we should all be investing in jewelry. Yes, and so I saw this cute necklace. Claudia was trying on dresses. Of course, I was just tinkering. And I'm so glad that I bought it because this morning, and it's good timing because we have two more shows left, including today, I have officially run out of things to wear. Oh, I ran out of things to wear like on week two. This morning, I genuinely had nothing to wear. And so this necklace makes the outfit a little different than however I wore the outfit last week. Some blue in my hair for the Teen Vogue party. It's some pearl in my neck for the Teen Vogue party. Jackie and I were just cracking up at a TikTok that I saw. If anyone has ever used Meta, what is it called? It's very niche, Meta Business Suite. No, I actually think it's not that niche. I think a lot of people use Meta Business Suite
It's literally like the worst thing ever. It's horrible. And I saw the funniest tweet that was like daring Mark Zuckerberg to use Meta Business Suite. Seriously, that platform makes me want to die. Yeah. Die. No, when a brand has like a deliverable. They want to list your content. A deliverable that has to do with Meta Business Suite. Give us the code. Girl. The deal is over. Like I can't. No, or like the deal will get done in six months when I figure it out. Yeah, or just, or what about don't? And then things are further complicated by the fact that we share a Facebook page. I don't want to talk about our shared Facebook page. It's horrible. I do feel like my life.
I'm missing out on a small piece of life due to sharing a Facebook page. I agree. I was actually talking to my friends recently because I was like, I feel like I don't know what anybody's up to anymore because I don't have a Facebook. I have this, like, fake Facebook quality. We don't, like, address. We have four friends. I don't have any of, like, the friends of, like, Facebook. But then my friends told me. They don't keep up with anyone on Facebook, right? Nobody's using Facebook. No, it's all, like, AI-generated content and, like, fake news. And, like, people don't. I thought people were posting at least the big things. Like, pregnancy, birth, engagement. Like, you could know what someone's up to in their life. But they said, no, no one's doing that. Only parents are doing that. No, and, like, the way they keep up with people now is on Instagram. Yes. But, like, you have,
posting about it but also back in the day like friending people on Facebook was like a very loose thing you would friend people who you barely maybe you had never even met like following on Instagram is like a very strict people are crazy about their ratios so I can't keep up with people from like high school that I don't know I was friends with them on Facebook I'm not following them on Instagram and it's a bummer because like I would love sometimes when I think of someone I would love to be like oh she's Lucy Wyman now like what's she up to yeah no then I have to like ask my high school check can somebody go to her Instagram screen record what's going on over there yeah and so I guess that's like more normal you know we shouldn't know like what strangers we all should know less about each other yeah especially like strangers that you're not close with like you shouldn't know all their business so I was glad to know I'm not missing out on that much but yeah like so many times I want to like message someone or like a I don't know. There's just random shit that comes up on Facebook. And I, like, want a message and, you know, put myself out there. Oh, my God. And I was, like, you know, when, like, I don't know. She wants to put herself out there. Like, we're, like, a business. Yeah. But I think, like, our profile, like, looks like spam. Yeah, we have, like, this fake profile with actually six friends and they all have our last name. So, like, I never get any responses. Do you reject people on Facebook ever? No, but, like, there's a couple times that I have. I don't really. Like, I've just, I've personally moved on from Facebook. I can't look back. Yeah. Like, so, metabusiness suite. It's further complicated by the fact that we have this, like, janky, fake, like, spam-looking Facebook called Jackie Claudia. Jackie Claudia. First name Jackie, last name Claudia
Exactly. You know, I started, I restarted Schitt's Creek just because I was feeling like... That's funny. Zach put on episode one the other night as well. I think it's because we're logging to Hulu. Oh, really? I'm watching it on HBO Max. Oh. I don't know why. I was just like, I was watching Mad Men. Like, it's been a summer of Mad Men for me, but like, it's kind of heavy and like, but you can't watch it so much because I feel like when people were watching it episodically, like, you couldn't really tell how much you fucking hated Don. And like, when you watch episodes back to back, I can't watch a self-destructive person anymore. So I was like, I want to watch something light. I was like, whatever, Schitt's Creek. I finished it in one.
Did you know or remember that there's a storyline that like Stevie and David are in love? Oh, I didn't remember that. Yeah, I feel like... To me, he's like as gay as the day is long. In the show, he's like, they're talking like, are you, do you like red wine or white wine? Like talking about sexuality. He's like, well, I like red wine, but sometimes I like white wine. So I guess he's like bisexual, but I don't know. It just feels like a flaw in the show. And they're like hooking up. They're just friends with benefits. They're hooking up and then they're like, we should probably stop because we're such good friends. I'm like, let's not ruin the one friend that I have in this town. And Stevie's like really struggling with that because she likes him so much. Like, I'm sorry, in what fucking world? No, it does make sense. But I do think like eventually...
Patrick and like that storyline just became like the right of course the right route for David and they started as business partners and it was just like really really cute but I understand why in the beginning when it's like this is our cast why Stevie and David should explore something like I'm sorry no it's so weird like watching them kiss I'm like that's your brother like it's just icky It's such a good show. It is. It's such a good show. The writing is perfect, of course. It's obviously, you watch it now with a little bit of a heavy heart because she's passed away, but it is an exercise in perfection. If I'm an up-and-coming actress or comedian, I'm watching Catherine O'Hara and I'm taking notes. In the lee of a picturesque ridge lies a small, unpretentious winery. She is the best part of the show. And if I had a gun with one bullet, I would kill Johnny. He is the worst character. He is. It's such a good comfort show. I feel like it's how I used to feel about Friends. I know it's going to happen, but it's just background noise and it makes me chuckle. I love that for you. I highly recommend it. I get into these places where I cannot watch new things. I just need to be comforted by what's familiar. You just can't.
like take on more. I understand. I'm taking on a lot right now watching Let's Marry Harry. And I feel like come September we're gonna have to take on a lot. I don't know if you saw Traders was announced of the regular cast. The celebrity voice. Early Twirl. Early Twirl, Dancing with the Stars. So I'm actually just like I'm coasting until I have to do my homework in September. Well I watch another episode of Let's Meet Harry. Let's Marry Harry. I was on Instagram watching spoilers. Let's Marry Hearts to Parrish. Because the finale is last night. Oh okay. I mean I'm just watching. I think I know who wins because I saw like a photo and then I didn't even recognize the girl in the photo but now I think I know who it is.
So Harris, while he's saying all the right things, I do have concerns about his ability to get serious. Because he still is. He can't help himself. That's who he is. But he's doing some things that I'm like, you're not serious. And also, the show is a little too fast-paced. And he's living in a house with the girls. He has his own room and whatever. But when he comes home from the date with a girl, they all get in the house. He goes and showers and changes. And then he comes downstairs and talks to more girls. And it just doesn't give him enough time to let things ruminate. So he went on this date with this one girl who I think was so nasty, but only because she was mean to them.
My friend. The single mom. Oh, your friend. The girl that I met one time. Sammy, the single mom, who's just really sweet. And so he goes on this date with the girl, and it actually turns out amazing. And he comes home, and then he has to shower and go back downstairs and talk to other people. And it's like, he said after the date with her, she's my number one right now. I just feel like he needs to go to bed with his thoughts. Thinking about what he liked about her. I think what he liked so much was that for some reason they stumbled upon the conversation of his dad, who just passed. I saw people talking about this, kind of criticizing Harry's grief journey. Oh. Yeah. Why? Just people thinking that perhaps it was like the catalog. He's not serious about getting married, because he just is like...
Grieving and they don't think he's grieving properly. And like maybe he rushed into the show in this process because he just sort of is like unbalanced and destabilized by this loss. Yeah, I think he's definitely lonely. I think like, you know, when you lose people close to your mates, you just feel alone in this world. And you definitely want to like supplement that loss with another. Am I remembering correctly? Like you can pick your family by getting a wife. That Harry Jousey's dad passed away. I think I talked about this on the toes, right? He was talking about on a podcast. I forget. He's from a different country. Australia. They have assisted suicide, like medically assisted suicide for people who are like terminally ill. It's like a rigorous process to get approved. But if you want to like choose your own death, I'm pretty sure.
that's how Harry Jousey's father passed away. It's possible. Yeah, he was talking about it. I found the conversation so interesting. He was also saying, like, I think he did a podcast episode with his dad before he passed and it was, like, about... He chose medically assisted, dying in New Zealand following a terminal illness diagnosis. So he had, like, proper guidelines. They were talking about the podcast episode on the date that his dad was giving him advice or, like, what he would tell Harry's kids. But I do think, like, the passing of his dad, while it may not make him ready for marriage, it makes you want another, like, close person in your life, you know? Like, you lose a family member and you can gain one through marriage. So I do think he's lonely and I do think he wants something serious and he's, like, done messing around. But, like...
I don't know that he has what it takes to, like, pick out the right girl. And even this date with, like, Julianne and Sammy, like, I just felt like he read it so wrong. It was, like, this stupid art date. I felt so bad for these girls because the other girls got a yacht and they have to pay. I'm like, ugh. And Julianne and Sammy, Sammy is my friend, they were, like, fighting over Harry. And I just felt like Julianne kept copying everything Sammy was doing. Like, Sammy.
Julianne co-opted Harry and Sammy was like, I'm done. So Harry had to come over to her. And then Julianne walks over and pulls him back. It's literally a flavor of love. I'm sorry. It literally is. And then Harry comes back over to Sammy. She writes his name in paint on his chest. Really cute. And then Julianne goes, I'm done. So Harry has to come back. That sounds terrible. She takes him and she wipes over Sammy's name and writes her own name. She just keeps copying everything Sammy's doing. And then Harry was like, then he chose to spend extra time with Julianne for the one-on-one after the art take. By the way, there were two other girls there. Irrelevant. And he was like, I just really like the way Julianne was fighting for me. And it was very sexy. She just wants to spend all this time with me. I'm like, she just copied the other girl.
She just copied the other girl. But I also understand that like he knows he likes Sammy and it's like, well, let me see if I like this girl so we can move on with the situation. You know, you do have to spend time with everyone. But it was like annoying. And so she got the best date and he like opened up to her and now he's his number one.
So I just think he needed, like, time to go home and realize that he doesn't like her that much. It's just that they got deep. Yeah. Fast. And the other girls haven't had time to get deep. They're just having chats in the backyard. And I think if you don't have this, like, undying love for Harry, like, you happen to have, it just, it genuinely sounds terrible. People are loving it. Everyone told me I need to watch it. Like, when I said I was interested, like, Let's Marry Harry Curious, then everyone followed up in the DMs, like, you have to watch it. It's so good. And I'm also just thinking about the next iterations, because you know what else works? If it's, like, an unwell production and they want to keep, like, the name flowing, even though I don't think she's, like, looking for or ready for marriage, Let's Marry Halle.
Let's marry Sally. Sally. From Southern China. I feel like she's ready to get married. Sally. Well, I guess she's best friends with Alex Earl, but that's Sally as well. Oh, that's Sally, but no. She's also ready for marriage. I guess Sally Carson. She says she's ready for marriage. Everyone says it. Yeah. Everyone says it. Nobody's got what it takes. So that's the latest. The good news is the show's moving quickly. You know, five girls went home. I think we have eliminations like all the time. There's only 14 girls left. Lovely. But he's supposed to get married at the end of the show. Well, I saw it. There's a wedding. There's a wedding, yeah. And I won't spoil it, but I did. And Amanda Clutes officiated it. I know you love when celebrities officiate weddings. I don't like when, like literally, I only want.
A leader in your community. Like a religious leader, a community leader. Yeah. What about a parent? Nope. Jackie's very strict about when it comes to officiating weddings. Yeah. I don't want to say, I saw that acquired friend officiated her wedding. So that's like the only thing. It's like the first negative thing you've seen. The only negative thing I've seen. Did you see her sister's speech? I did. Oh my God. I was crying before it started. I was very emotional. I agree. And how did she have so much risk? And she was very, she didn't say like, and she barely looked at her paper. And I just want to say to everyone who's ever going to make a speech at a wedding, like if you come up there with your fucking phone.
To me, you could be giving a speech written by Shakespeare and it's a piece of garbage. Paper is so elegant. It's so old school. When someone comes up on the phone, I'm like, you hate the bride. I thought the speech was like, well, first of all, I was just emo. I was just thinking about this twindom. And I guess they're each other's only sibling. That's the vibe I'm getting. And I feel bad if there's another. And just the way she said her speech, it was just like a bunch of- She wasn't overly emotional. No, she wasn't telling a story. It was just like a bunch of one-liners. And it was very cool. She had so much confidence. And Riz, really. Do you know, also, one more negative thing that I heard about the wedding. Her dress was Balenciaga, the maid of honor. I heard that. I skipped right over. And I just feel like those girls could fit into any dress. They could afford any dress. It
But you know what? In a situation like that, the best dress wins. Why should I suffer because you're a pedophile? I haven't seen her advertise that. Yeah, I saw her say it once, and that was the first time. It's not like Balenciaga, like Vera Wang, Vera Wang, Vera Wang, Vera Wang. Not Balenciaga. Vera Wang gang. Vera Wang gang for Mrs. Acquired and Inquired Incorporated. I just love those sisters. I really love them. Me too. And I feel like I've been sleeping on them until recently. Well, they were kind of like sleeper content creators, too. They have been in the New York City influencer scene for a while. They were not the biggest.
I feel like they were just like one, you know, there's like a group of New York City influencers that all look the same, dress the same, do the same content. That was the whole. Yeah. And you know that girl, like she had valid points. Like they all just like drink coffee and do matcha workouts or whatever. And I feel like she woke up and she was like, I'm going to step my pussy up. And she literally did. And she brought her sister with her and she just like makes better content. She dresses better. Like she has a better editor. Like everything. She just decided like I'm going to put these bitches on notice. And she is, in my opinion, like the number one premier New York City influencer. Yes. Also, I remember. And she literally let them all in the dust. I remember when her sister was working a corporate job, I think at Goldman Sachs. Yeah, one of them, yeah. And.
Bridget, and I never call her Bridget, but in this case, I have to because there's two acquires. Bridget used to make videos of my sister going to work. They lived together, and she made all those videos of her sister's outfits going to her corporate job, and she looked amazing. Well, that's also then how the sister, of course, she came up with a choir, but the sister really started her own thing because she was this drop-dead gorgeous bombshell working at Goldman Sachs and just making TikToks in the morning, never at the office, just of what I'm wearing to the corporate office today, which I think actually a lot of people come to social media looking for workplace outfit inspo. She eventually started getting a lot of brand deals, and it was time for her to leave her job at Goldman Sachs. I heard that she had to leave. You can't do both, yeah. I don't know where I heard that, but I remember thinking, oh, she works at Goldman Sachs. She should stay doing that and
You are not allowed to make content about your job at your office. And then sometimes they'll go even further. You can't do any content. Because I think it's a conflict with certain clients. I don't know. Okay, fine. I guess it worked out for her. I guess it worked out for her. Yeah.
So, yeah, the speech was great. It was so sweet. I'm loving, like, all the videos. They're making, like, also, like, great content from the wedding when she gave her a kiss on the cheek. Hilarious. She had lipstick on her cheek. And, like, Aquired was like, should I keep posting or is it too much? Girl. Seriously, dump it now. I don't want to see content into three weeks from now. I want, I'm having the itch for it now. I've got the taste. I would say, there's not, no stitching is too much. I'm loving every minute. Oh, I got more breakfast potatoes this morning. I just wanted to tell everyone, like, about my potato journey. Would you like some? Um, I had. Look how good. Like, ASMR. But I literally just had with my eggs. No.
I don't think anybody. It literally tastes like McDonald's. I can't believe I've never been eating hash browns. They're from Goldberg's, by the way. It's like a local spot. But I want to say, I don't think that they make these themselves. And the other Goldberg's? Okay, why don't you break in and see what they have? And I'm going to get them from my house. I can't believe, like...
I've never had hash browns before. No, hash browns are so good. Sometimes when you go to a diner in the city and you get like hash browns or whatever, it's just like stringy ass potatoes. I do also like like that pancake. Oh my God, I hate. I like it. Sometimes when I make like breakfast on the weekends, I always make eggs and sourdough, but like sometimes, once in a while, I'll make hash browns. Sound off in the comments. Like what's a brand of like frozen that I could just like pop in the air fryer or whatever? Whatever people like, you're not going to like. Oh really? Like what's like, no. People like weird stuff and you're not. No, no. I feel like this is so, you guys know what I'm talking about. Like the square potatoes. Yeah. You guys know what I'm talking about. Yeah. What's the brand? Sound off in the comments. So yes. So yes. Let's marry hearts.
I am engaging. And yeah, we went to Hell House yesterday. I guess that's like the headline news. It was like a big shopping day. It's like not a big deal, you know? Got a couple of cute tings. I got this little hairbrush that I'm going to use too.
Jackie was just buying stuff because she is a grown woman with adult money. She was like, yeah, sure. Do you want a hairbrush? I think Kayla needs a new dress. I just love shopping. Seriously, I just love it. Do you feel that way about shopping? No. A love? I just want to buy stuff. Oh my god, no. I feel that way to be in a supermarket. But no, I really do not love shopping. When I got home and I saw I bought this hairbrush, I was like, why did I buy that? I don't need a hairbrush. Now I have to use it. Maybe it's because I'm in a phase where I hate my body. But I'm trying to think, even when I was snatched, did I love shopping? No. I like looking good, of course. I love loving my outfit. I don't really want to put in the work to get there, though. So I'll just remain a slob.
I understand. I don't know. It's just, like, it's such a high for me. It's so important to have hobbies. I need to, like, go shopping. Like, be able to buy anything I want. And then, like, somebody later that day goes and returns everything. Because it's not just about the having. It's just about the getting. Yes. Yes. It's not about the having. Because then I come home with all this shit. I'm like, what did I do? I know. And that's the thing about shopping. I don't want to put it away. Like, I didn't need that. The hangers and the clip, the tags. And I didn't need it. Like, so that's what I should do. Shop until I drop it and someone, like, secretly returns it. It literally goes into your car and takes the bags. I love that.

Let's talk to the moms or anyone who's ever had to shop for a baby. The baby aisle is one of the most overwhelming places on earth. A thousand options for literally everything. Wipes, diapers, bath products, lotions. It's decision fatigue before you even make the checkout line. So when you find a brand new trust, it's one less thing to overthink. Now that I'm a mom, totally get it. Before having a baby, I thought you just bought what was on the shelf. But you realize you're making a decision about every single product that you bring into your home. You want products you can trust without having to spend an hour reading labels. Finding a brand that makes those choices feel easy is such a gift and that's why Honest was created. They make baby essentials for life's most delicate skin. Honest told every product to their highest standard, the Honest standard, which thoughtfully chooses the ingredients they put in and the ones they leave out. Their baby products are hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, parents can feel confident in the
And the honest, clean, conscious wipes have become one of those things we refuse to leave the house without. Obviously, they're great for diaper changes, but we seriously use them for everything, so we keep them in the diaper bag, the car, the studio. They're one of those products that you don't realize that you'll use constantly until you have a baby, and now we make sure to have plenty on hand. So from their wipes to baby personal care and diapers, honest mixed products designed for the delicate details that matter most, shop honest, the mother of all standards, available Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Today's episode is also brought to you by the Absorption Company.
The absorption company created WLP1. It's a daily weight management solution with ingredients clinically proven to naturally support GLP1 activity, appetite control, metabolism, and cravings. It's a different approach to weight management, focused on helping the body work smarter without the trade-offs of prescription options. The Absorption Company is a supplement brand that's kind of solving the biggest problem with supplements is that whether or not your body's absorbing them at all. Most people assume if you take your supplements, you're going to get the benefits, but the reality is that the vast majority of supplements have low absorption rates. And the Absorption Company is focused on solving that exact problem with pharmaceutical-grade absorption technology designed to help nutrients actually work. Because no matter how powerful a supplement is on paper, it only matters if your body is absorbing it. So the Absorption Company is singularly focused on solving that biggest problem of low absorption. They make a ton of different supplements that are super popular. The WLP1 is one of their most popular and one of their newer ones. It can help reduce the absorption of fat and carbs, regulate your appetite and craving, increase your satiety. It supports thermogenesis. But also if you're looking for...

Alex Cooper is pushing back on Dave Portnoy's claim that she planned sexual harassment.
to exit Barstool. So a little backstory. By the way, I knew none of this. Did you? I did. It was familiar, yes. Oh my God, that's crazy. Dave said this made quite a large allegation against Alex Cooper in his book, which just came out. It was a New York Times bestseller. Yes, it came out in June. And he had said when he was recapping the Call Her Daddy saga from his POV, he said that the girls had said that if Dave didn't let them out of their contract, they were going to allege that they were sexually harassed at Barstool. Like they'll make up assault claims. Yes. And I just want to say, if you knew those two bitches at the time, if you were following their podcast or their YouTube, they were crazy. That is 1,000% something that they would have said. They were very crazy. You know Alex now, she's like...
very woke buttoned up oh my god those two bitches were insane like yes the i think the idea that like someone like alex cooper who we now know would ever do something like this is like preposterous no it's like very on brand with those two crazy bitches they were wild now and also if you think about like barstool's reputation to its detractors people would have believed that yes um and then being like this like biggest female podcast and then allegations people would have eaten it up so it's honestly like a It's kind of a good threat, like, if you think about it, because it would have been believable at the time. So she went on CNBC to talk about her big deal. She's doing press for this investment we talked about yesterday. This $500 million from Patrick Weitzel, former Mr. Lawrence Sanchez-Bezos. And by the way, his company's called WTSL. Witzel, yeah. Obsessed. Like Weitzel. I'm obsessed. Witzel.
I love when people drop the consonants. Like your husband. He goes by Swinburne. Swinburne. Swinburne. I love it. So Andrew Ross Sorkin was the interviewer. Oh, and slay to this random CNBC. I don't think he's so random. Well, I think he's maybe like well-known and respected in like the finance investment space. Like I never heard of the show. He does like those interviews for the New York Times, I think. I've never heard of him. And like, is he brothers with Aaron? No way. Are you sure? I don't know. But like that would be crazy. I think that he is. I just want to say, I like when people like ask real questions. I didn't know this was something we were waiting to hear from Alex Cooper on because again, I did not know that this was a thing. I had not heard this until yesterday. And they're not related. I'm shocked. She's coming on for completely unrelated purposes.
in Scarsdale. Oh, that is weird. She's coming on for completely unrelated purposes and he pulls this out of his back pocket. I'm obsessed. These are the types of questions you want your journalists to ask. So, Andrew Ross Sorkin brought up the claim that Dave made and asked her if that's true and she said, I've been pregnant, Andrew. I'm busy building a child when he asked why she hadn't addressed the claim sooner. She continued, whenever I see Dave online, we all enjoy his banter. He's a very entertaining person and I have a very great and complicated relationship with Dave. He gave me my start in this industry and I will never not be grateful to him. Oh, by the way, Patrick Weissel's just sitting there. That's Patrick. I thought it was the husband. No, I think it was Patrick. I saw him there too. No, I think it was Matt Kaplan.
Really? Yeah. I didn't see them out and about with Patrick. I saw Patrick doing an interview with Alex. Oh, okay. But perhaps you're right. Sorry, you guys. As she went on, she admitted that she has not read Dave's book yet, but she pushed back on his account. She said, that's not how I remember it at all. Still, she didn't outright deny Dave's claim. She added, but I'm also like, Dave's got his version and I've got my version and we're all good. When she was asked by Aaron if she wanted to tell her version of the drama, she laughed and responded, no, I am in my mother era. I'm no drama right now, Andrew. We're here to talk business. 1000% she said it. That was basically an admission of guilt. I appreciate that she didn't lie. No, that's actually very true.
I'm just trying to see, there's someone sitting next to her. It doesn't matter, but she was doing interviews with Patrick. I just saw he was talking about the creator economy. But, sorry, I lost my train of thought. My one criticism here is like...
I do feel that when you're pregnant, like, you get special treatment. Sorry, you do. But, like, she's, like, literally, like, throwing her pregnancy, like, in front of the bus. Like, I didn't like her response in that way. Although I do feel that pregnant women get a little bit of, like, protection. Like, she shouldn't have had to answer that question. But, like, it was as you're doing press. Like, especially in the last couple of months, there's been, like, I feel like she doesn't really ever do press. Like, sit down, interview, live style. No, she does, like, business stuff like this. Business stuff, and it's all, like, it's fluff. Like, number one female podcast. But this is, like, a live interview. You can go kind of rogue. And I feel like for all the times for her to do it, like, this is not the time she's, this is the first time ever in her career where she's had,
skeletons and, like, people, like, questions you would want to avoid. Yeah. So I'm surprised. But I guess on CNBC, like, they're not going to really ask about Sophia and, like, the tea with Alex Earl. But, like, this is a semi-business conversation to talk about, like, how you left your former employer. I just felt like when she was asked, it felt like she was, I didn't see the rest of the interview, but the way she answered, it felt like she was so inconvenienced to be there. Like, Andrew, why am I talking to you? I'm like, you went on to this show.
So I appreciate that she didn't lie. I would love to hear from Sophia, because I feel like Sophia would be honest. I would own it. It is my personal belief that they 1,000% said that. Also, when you write a book that's published by a major publishing house, the legal team does have to go over it with you extensively. If you are going to be making claims, that's why a lot of people say unnamed, like Jeanette McCurdy said, the producer. A lot of times you have to pull stuff or make it. So for him to have said, they said this on this day, makes me think that it's sort of irrefutable. Yeah, or that he has something to back that up. Right. I do believe that they 1,000% said that. And then I just have to mention, because when she said this, it was the first thing that came to mind, when she said she's in her mother era.
wants no drama. She did start the Alex Earl drama in her mother era and brought on like the greatest drama of all time. It's a conflict. She's conflicting. So, so that's just not true in my head, but you know, she doesn't want to answer the question. No, of course not. Who wouldn't? And she has a good excuse, you know, cause really what are you going to say? Even though Andrew did follow up and I think Andrew is very like persistent and prestigious in his field. So he doesn't have to be afraid. No, like I can't ask this. Like sometimes when you're asking like a salacious question, it's sort of like a gotcha. Like I also feel like sometimes when you ask your salacious question, like you ask it and then you don't follow up. You just like, I got it out. But then when he followed up and said, do you want to tell us your version? She was like, I don't Andrew.
I mean, I guess, like, to be brought down into this, like, internet drama when she's, like, she keeps trying to elevate out of, like, she tried to elevate out of bar school. This is not internet drama. This is business drama. Like, Dave would be on CNBC himself. But she, like, doesn't want to go there with Dave. Like, she does not want to cross him. Neither of them want to cross each other. Right. Although him putting that in the book is, like. Well, he wants to tell his story and sell his book. And he doesn't need to protect her, but he also doesn't need to make an enemy of her. And she feels the exact same about him. As she said, she has a great and complicated relationship with him. Yeah, I mean, her.
it just sort of like goes against the image she's trying to build for herself and has been trying for all these years as like this, you know, female savior. But it's like, Barstool's just sort of like the polar opposite of everything Call Her Daddy has become. Call Her Daddy's like very mainstream, very like female focused, it's kind of woke, like, and Barstool's just like the total opposite. So it doesn't really like make sense for her anymore to like be friends with Dave, like have Dave on the pod, you know? I don't think he's been on the pod in a while. No, and I actually think that their relationship is the most fractured it's ever been, but it's not there yet. And the time for him to go on the pod would have been for this book and he didn't. Yeah. Well, that would be like a weird place because he's talking about her in the book. It wouldn't, it wouldn't, yeah.
And so there's definitely, like, you know, they walk on eggshells a little bit. Yeah, but neither one of them wants to, like, start stuff. No. Even the way Dave was doing, like, Tea by the Sea about Alex v. Alex. Like, he was not going there. He was not going there, and he wasn't really turning on either one of them. I think it's time for Sophia to chime in. I know. I know she's probably just, like, waiting for her book to, like, speak for itself, and I get wanting to, like, push everything to that, but she kind of needs to speak off. Yeah, because I feel like she would cop to it. 1,000%. Like, you guys, there's no question to me of whether or not they said it. Like, they obviously did.
They were so nutty. They were so young. And I think it's like people can change. You have a story at the end of the show about Whitney Levitt. And I was just thinking about, I don't know why, like how she was like the Neku dancing mom. She was a Neku dancing mom, yeah. And now she is like the most prestigious Broadway actress. And like people can change. And so I have no issue with Alex having been one person at Barstool and growing up and becoming a different person. It's just this is like a new bit of information that she has to answer for from that time. And like I do think for the most part she's distanced herself and, you know, said how she's grown and she's not like that anymore. But now it's like.
yeah you gotta go back there is when she left barstool like nobody really questioned her and so she was able to like successfully transition to this girl boss and now you guys are all asking her questions about five years ago and it's like I hate when people do that but it's like nobody asked at the time like they just sort of let her get by like throwing her friend under the bus shooting her friend in the back like and so now yeah all these things are coming up and it's like not convenient because she has moved on and she is pregnant it's like not relevant but nobody was really questioning her at the time so it's like well somebody needs to ask at some point but like now it's not really the time yeah but she's on the show and the book just came out and if you don't want to answer questions don't do live interviews don't do a live interview right now and do I understand like not wanting to bring on drama in your pregnancy she's also I think in her they're late second trimester because she has gestational diabetes you do not want stress so I understand when she says like I'm not courting drama right now like I'm keeping it light and I'm keeping it moving agreed and I'm taking the dog however you courted drama you courted drama back you did start this whole thing but that was before the pregnancy ramped up so you know things change and she does have GD and that's very difficult I know because Dana had it so if you want me to make you a loaf of sourdough Alex I would love to yeah fun fact you can have sourdough you can have sourdough Dana lived off my sourdough it's the only thing you can eat I'll give you some of my starter and my recipe that I just wrote down she would love that
I would love that. And she would love that. So yeah, I thought that was interessant. Next story, a little biz news. And sports news. The Lakers have been sold to ex-Disney chief Bob Iger and Carly Kloss' husband, Josh Kushner, for a record-making $12 billion. Actually, lots of sports news. I don't know if you saw it also yesterday. The Yankees sold to private equity. It's like the first time private equity has been involved. What's private equity? No, people are saying it's a big deal because private equity. Is that a company? No, private equity is like an industry. Right, it's sold to an industry. No, but it's sold to a big firm in the industry. Quote, sold to private equity. Yeah, whatever that means. Well.
Who was the guy who owned the Lakers who had the girlfriend, Donald Sterling? Do you remember him? And they did that, like, really crazy interview. He was, like, this 80-year-old man, and she was, like, 25. And it was just, like...
There was a time where you couldn't open a newspaper magazine without it being all about Donald Sterling. And that was like one of the better times of my personal life. It sounds familiar. Right? Yeah. But an ownership group led by Josh Kushner and Bob Iger is purchasing the franchise for the LA Lakers for over $12 billion, ESPN reported. The news comes less than a year after Mark Walter bought the team from the Buss family for then $10 billion. So very profitable for Mr. Walter. It's also crazy that like at one point one singular, I feel like now we hear a lot about groups buying teams because they're getting so expensive. But like to be a singular family to own, like that's such a slag. It is. And a great investment. Yeah, of course. Bob and Josh said in a statement, as lifelong NBA fans. Is Jared not there too? I saw the picture. Like he was there too.
In just a picture. I'm not seeing anything about Jared. Oh, okay. Yeah. Not seeing anything about him in this deal. As lifelong NBA fans, we are deeply honored for the opportunity to become stewards of the LA Lakers, one of the most iconic sports franchises in the world. We have immense respect for the leadership and vision of Jerry and Jeannie Buss. I guess they're also staying on as, like, governor of the team. The Buss? I saw something that said, like, Jeannie Buss will stay on as governor. Slay Jeannie. Our long-term commitment is to build on that foundation, compete at the highest level, and serve this extraordinary team. It's fans in the city of LA. Great. What do you think is the most, I feel like we've had this conversation before, I'm having deja vu, the most valuable sports team in America? Because I remember you saying you think it was the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, but I don't know if that was just NFL, but what do you think is more valuable, a football team or a basketball team?
I feel like football. Because the stadiums are bigger. But there's so many less games. But, like, yeah, I do. So then it would be the Cowboys. What is the most valuable sports team in America? Question mark. Any league. It might be the Lakers right now because they were just valued at 12. Oh, wait. Dallas Cowboys. That's insane. They stink. Like, why? So, oh, yeah. They're saying 13 bill. For the Cowboys. For the Cowboys. This Forbes list has not been updated because number two was $11 billion for the Golden State Warriors. I guess now Lakers are number two. Or Golden State Warriors are worth more now. Or Golden State Warriors. Why are the Cowboys so valuable again?
Why are you asking me? You're like the Dallas girl. That doesn't happen there? I'm the Dallas girl. Number one is an NFL team. It's mostly NFL or NBA. There's not one NHL team. I stand by what I said earlier in the week that the NHL is not mainstream. Just football and basketball. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Tied for, because I thought the Yankees. Tied for 10th place is the Chicago Bears, which is NFL, with the New York Yankees. Okay. Which is $8.2 billion. And baseball has a lot of games and still not as valuable. I know. One thing about me, like I would never want to be a baseball player. You're never home. You have more games than any other league. But you do get paid, I think, more than others. I don't know why I have the impression like baseball players like.
have happy lives and marriages and families oh I don't have that vibe at all really like I think there are definitely like happy people I'm not saying that but like I think that if you're like a wag And you're a baseball wag. Like, you're jealous of the football and basketball. Actually, basketball is a lot of games. Maybe you have a hard schedule. But, like, a lot of them are married. A lot of them are married and stay married. Yeah. And there's not as much drama. Like, the NFL, the NBA has so much relationship turnover. No, I think that, like, there is. But, again, it's, like, not. But when I think about, like, the celebrity baseball relationships. There are a couple. Who? Kate Upton. Kate Upton, Joanna Garcia Swisher. Your friend Pete and his wife. Of course, Haley. Beautiful life. And Jeter. Hannah Jeter. Hannah Jeter. I believe that. Although a lot of those relationships happen after. Like, Derek and Hannah Jeter are after. That's the only one. Yeah.
Kate Upton, yeah, she went to the World Series. I think that Jesse James Decker's sister, Sydney's husband, was a baseball player. Also, baseball teams are really big. There are a lot of random, unknown players. Yeah, you can hire somebody in the league. You've never heard of their husband. In the league of a picturesque ridge lies a small, unpretentious winery.
Yeah. Yeah, so if I had it my way, I would, I mean, you have to deal with the CTE and having a brain-dead husband. But football, I think, is the most flex. Yeah. What is it, 18 games? You have to consider CTE. Absolutely, you have to consider CTE. Same with hockey. And then your man comes home without a tooth. What about Gakaba? I think it has to be basketball. But basketball's 82 games. Okay, good. Your man's working. He's out. It's important for them to get out of the house. 1,000%. And I guess like 40 of those games. Maybe that's why baseball's so successful. Yeah, because it's like over 100. They're always working. They don't have time to be bored. I don't know. This is the devil's workshop. It's true.
Never forget it. I can't like sit next to a box of potatoes and not eat that. I'm sorry. I know I'm breaking like the cardinal rule. Of eating. I'll read the story and you eat. How's that?
Our next story so we can finally get through the story is some more sports news. Travis Kelsey is calling the wedding night the best night of his life. So we haven't got photos or nuttin' yet, but Travis Kelsey did a little press conference, which isn't a big deal because that's what players do. And they're at training camp. Yeah, they're at training camp. You always sit and talk to the press. And he had a couple of cute sound bites. He obviously called Taylor his wife at one point because she is. He said it was a fun off-season, man. Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. Kelsey said it was a crazy night and that the evening was full of a lot of celebration before telling reporters he's now turning his focus to, quote, football, baby. Well, you better because you didn't make the playoffs last year.
So cute. Like, that's your wife, allegedly, because we've never seen a picture. He also talks extensively about how, like, it was literally his dream. He can't believe he got married in Madison Square Garden. Like, the history of sports there, like, it just meant so much. Obviously, he said they were looking for somewhere really private. Like, he's so grateful to everybody who let him do it there. But, like, it was so special for him to be there because, like, his dream was to go to a Knicks playoff game. Taylor ended up going. But they did go to a Knicks playoff game. I think a lot of people thought that they were there, like, to support the Cleveland Cavaliers because they're from Cleveland. But I'm kind of in the sense now that, like, they were there for the Knicks. Perhaps. Because he said, like, I've always wanted to go to a Knicks playoff game. I think they were probably there for the Clevelands because he is from there.
Well, I guess they're not public Knicks fans. You know, like, Timothy could never stick courtside. Even if he didn't wear Knicks. Taylor kind of is. Like, she's starkly been, like. No, but I think they just assume because of Travis, like, they're safe. Right, right. No, they got in, like, through a back door. Yeah, but, no, that is, that is true. Because even though, like, he's obviously a football player, you know, a lot of men and young men and boys, like, they love sports growing up. Right. You know, so, like, Madison Square Garden is still super cool. It's a mecca of sports. Even if you're a football player. Right. And you think of all the things that have happened there besides football. Like, boxing, Muhammad Ali. Like, it's, it's kind of like us getting married at, like. Like, with Siri Lane.
Exactly. I would fucking love to get married. Walking down the street. Oh my god, how gorgeous. It's like the most picturesque ridge. By the way, I didn't even realize my dream wedding venue was Mysterio Lane. I feel like you totally can. When you renew your vows. Like right in front of Gabby Sillies' house. Is that where you would do it? No, they actually have this park in the center of where Edie's house is. There's like a cul-de-sac. I think it would be there. And there's like a pergola. Yeah, yeah.
We'd like drape it in hydrangeas and like greenery. It sounds really beautiful. Yeah, it does. Time to find a boyfriend. And everyone could like stay. It would be destination. Oh my God, it's like a B&B. Even though, you know, the inside of those houses are empty. They're just like. Well, I'm sure like on the lot, there's houses. That's a great idea. Unlimited budget. So like just, what about like just Paramount Studios? And we take over the whole lot. I actually think they have a lot of like big black tie events there. Not to like, you know, make everything about me. But when I was like on my last day at Masked Singer on the Fox lot, I had to be there at night. And they were like setting up. There was a huge, I think somebody was having like their 50th birthday party there. Like you could just rent it if you're like a rich person. Like, and it's just like a big lot. Yeah.

In Victoria, Canada, on Friday. In footage circulating on social media, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex both greeted David on the red carpet. Megan even reached out to him, but David walked straight past her. David and Catherine and Megan and Harry took a group photo. We know that they're all good. They've actually been long-time friends. I feel like the first time we ever spotted them out.
When Meghan and Harry came to Calabasas or wherever they live, Montecito, and we were like, who are they going to be friends with? Like the Kardashians, Ellen. Like the first time they were ever seen with anyone. It was like David and Catherine Foster. I do believe that there's like no bad blood. The video is just like genuinely unfortunate and sad. The thing is like, she just seriously can't catch a break. Like it's so awkward. And I don't think there's, I don't think there's like a great love.
and relationship between the two couples. No, but I think they're all capacetic. I actually don't see them getting along. But I don't think David meant to snub her. I think he just has his head in the clouds. It's like a big event for him. There's a lot going on. I don't really think he was looking. I guess, but how do you not know that that's Prince Harry and then obviously Meghan with him? No, and David Foster, you could say he's senile or whatever. He's very with it because I saw him on Aaron Foster's Instagram. He's not senile. No, he's not. He's just an older gentleman. But he put on this huge concerto. He's like, you can't be senile. No, but he might be like...
not attuned to his surroundings. Maybe it's face blindness. Like, you know what? Some people just have their head in the clouds. Like, oh yeah, I'm taking pictures on this carpet. Like, I'm not paying attention. I'm not like caught up on celebrities. They're not close personal friends. And like, he doesn't know Meghan Markle. We are giving a lot of grace. But like, only because we know them to be historically friends. Not even because of that. But just because I think like a lot of times red carpet exchanges like are overblown. Here, it's here. You want to see it? I just need to study it because. I actually just think it could be a situation where he's just like walking around taking pictures. He's not really like celeb focused. Right. No, it's like Catherine comes in between, gives a hug. Okay. So.
I feel that it could also be, like, they were coming in for a hug, but I think, like, he interpreted it as just, like, saying hello and walking by. Do you know what I mean? But then he's coming for the picture. He came to take a picture with them. She is. Maybe he, like, went to get Catherine. No, he's still there. No, maybe, oh, sorry, I meant Catherine. Maybe he went to get Catherine, like, on the other side. Watch this video. Oh, mine's more zoomed in. I haven't seen the reals version. Yeah, so they're like, hey, get in the middle, and he walks right by. Catherine.
people are just particular about their sides you know like maybe david foster is a lefty you know and they wanted him in the middle he said i want to be on the end you know maybe i just think he didn't really realize like who he was like walking past i think he was just like getting it done i'm sure he doesn't like love red carpets and pictures i'm not looking into this i don't think that he dislikes i don't think they would like come even though they go to the strangest things but they don't think they would come all this way to victoria And I think that, like, the instant, like, dives so deep into a lot of her stuff and, like, it's worthy. This is not worthy. Like, genuinely leave the woman alone. Because this is what she's like, the internet hate, the bullying. Like, this is what she's talking about. But no, with Love, Megan, like, we need to talk about. Yeah, I don't think this is, like, bullying. No, but it's just, like, it's such a narrative that, like, Megan and Harry are not liked. But it's not just, like, these things don't just happen to her. Like, we were just talking about, like, Leighton Meester and Ariana Grande. Yes. It's just human. It's life as a human. It's just human. So, yeah. Life on Earth. You have to just, you can't have any faux pas on a red carpet. We're going to dissect it. And it's not specific to Megan Margo. And it's not,
Fuck you for that. But I think also it's like we expect that the reception to Meghan Markle and I think she expects that the reception is going to be like a princess. A red carpet and a marching band. But at this point she's just like everyone else. She's just a celebrity. She's just like everyone else. Him too. But I think she like walks through the world like where are the rose petals being thrown in front of me and then when it doesn't happen she's standing there just holding the bag and it creates an awkward moment. Yeah it does. Most people aren't like looking for like a grand reception. Yeah right. But most people aren't the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Our fifth and final story. Whitney Leavitt reveals she's returning to Broadway to star in Just in Time after breaking box office records in Chicago. So Whitney has her next Broadway show lined up. Does Just in Time ring a bell to you? That's what I was telling you about, remember? Because I said your favorite movie is Beyond the Sea with Bobby Darin. Do you remember this conversation? Margot, yeah. So that's the play about, and Margot should go see it. Me and Margot actually have chatted many times about wanting to go see it. And every time we talk about it, the show reaches out. They're like, come, come. I just can't get my ass to Times Square. But like, I will go. For Whitney Leavitt. Maybe for Whitney Leavitt. So she's playing a role that's actually played by a lot of celebrities. Sarah Hyland was in it. I think she started with, um.
Oh, Jonathan Groff. He was Bobby Darin. Everyone was obsessed. And honestly, the fact that I didn't see it with Jonathan Groff, I really don't want to see it with anyone else. Matthew Morrison did a brief two-week stint as Bobby Darin. And the girl from The Pit, she's so annoying. What's her name? She's the one who never does her charts. I don't remember any of their names. She has played this role up until recently. She did a huge stint on Bobby. So I guess Whitney's replacing her. Oh, okay. It's unclear who the Bobby is. I sort of feel like it's Jonathan Groff. No, it's not Jonathan Groff. I think it's Jeremy Jordan.
that was like the last person I saw doing it and I'm sorry like Jeremy Jordan I'm sorry all the clips I've seen like there is one Bobby Darin it's Jonathan Groff there's like also a viral TikTok dance like I know everything I'm so glad you know everything because I know nothing no this is a big deal for Whitney I would have been like she's in a random show how do you top Chicago she's on her way out the thing is it's a little random now when it first debuted with Jonathan Groff no but like when it first debuted it was like Hamilton with I'm sure but since then like you know it's just another show on Broadway but like she'll be great and she'll attract people it's a big one yeah you're gonna go I went and put my dancing shoes on yeah yeah yeah with Jeremy Jordan Jeremy Jordan Yeah, can you believe that Mr. Shoe did it? I can't believe it. And Jessie St. James. It's literally the Glee project. Well, the Glee is the Broadway project. Yeah, right. Like, in another life, had I been a little bit older, I would have went on the Glee project.
And that's good that you didn't. Because I just don't think you'd be where you are today. No, and I don't think that, like, I should have been a part of the Glee cast. Like, they're extremely problematic. You're a one-woman, well, two-woman show. Who's the second? You? Oh, right. I think I'm, like, my dual personalities. Like, it's a two-woman show over here. Yes. And that's what had me thinking. Like, it's never too late to reinvent yourself. And just because you've done something or made a mistake or whatever, like, you can come back from it bigger and better. I totally agree. And that's, like, a philosophy. Like, I, as a human being, both, you know, professionally and personally, really champion.
Start over. Do something new. The Niku thing, it's as if it never happened. Niku. Yeah, I mean, I don't even think about Whitney dancing in the Niku. Right. And you have to stop saying it like that. But when we, by the way, Niku is an abbreviation, so there's no proper pronunciation. It's not an abbreviation, it's an acronym. It's an acronym, so there's no pronunciation. Niku. Niku.
When we used to recap Secret Lives, like the early seasons, we always had to keep it in mind. We always did. It was just top of mind. Agreed. It is out of my mind. Agreed. And she's successfully eclipsed. What's in her mind now? Fuck you for that. I've been seeing a lot of clips of them promoting the song. So I've heard the iTunes version. It's atrocious. It's actually worse than a live performance. And I've seen more angles, more parts of the song. And I feel like I agree with you that...
Somebody from Salama should get into music. We owe Demi and Bret an apology because True Colors, Demi's version, is 50 times better than what Miranda's putting out. And I don't want to make fun of the girl who's putting herself out there creatively, but I just don't think that this is right for her. It's really bad. I am going to still be patient with her because I don't think it's the worst idea. However, the comments yesterday were cracking me up that we were being far too nice. I think I just wanted it to be good, so that's what I saw. But...
I also, the more I thought about it, it's actually insane that she's singing in an accent. When she doesn't have an accent. When she doesn't have an accent. And then when we were in the car on the way home, we were listening to a lot of Ella Langley. And she's kind of ruining Ella Langley because it does start to feel like a costume. Yeah, it's true. And it's like, my culture is not a costume. You can't sing in an accent that you don't have. Fuck you for that. And if it were a different culture that she were appropriating, people would be offended. Right, what if she was up there singing in an Indian accent? All sorts of accents that you shouldn't take on if you don't have them. And are we sure she doesn't have roots in the South?
She doesn't have an accent. Right. And to that I say, fuck you for that. I cannot. I really can't stop. I think today's emoji should be the middle finger. And also, every time she makes a TikTok about it. We need to stop doing emojis. The fact that yesterday wasn't the teddy bear. Like, there's something wrong with us. Why teddy bear? Oh, whatever. It's more of it. I just want you guys to realize, like, that's how bad we can't even see our image once it's in the rear view. I also just want to say every TikTok I've seen of her, like, promoting it. She keeps everything. She's like, with both. Fuck you. It's so cringe. Like, I can't. Today's emoji is the middle finger. She's also going to need more songs. Let's get some more songs going.
An EP. Let's get some more songs. That is the show. Those are the past five. And the middle finger emoji. Even though that's going to be like hurtful and probably people will get blocked. Right? No. They'll get like hidden. No one's going to get blocked. They'll be like all hidden. Hidden words. Whatever. Let's see. Yeah. We're like renegades. Eh. We're hosting an NSFW pod. Eh. Love ya. Bye.
