A Human Moment: Friday, November 22nd, 2024
01:00:49 Share

Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday. I could sing, but I won't because I value my business. What do you mean? Our business is singing. It's Friday. Oh, you could sing a different song. I could, but there's really no other song worth singing on a day such as today. I feel like there are songs that would capture the moment beautifully. I'm feeling so conflicted about this.

Celebrate good times, come on. Let's celebrate. Now, I'm feeling conflicted because obviously you never want to be ungrateful for a Friday, right? But literally, I'm sleeping and I wake up and it's Saturday. I spent the first 20 minutes of today thinking it was Saturday. You were improperly oriented. And I actually could cry how upset I am. It's really crazy how it fucked me up.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I've been there before. I actually think I was experiencing this last week where it was a Friday and I was like, I know I'm supposed to be grateful, but like, I'm improperly oriented and like, that's not my fault. And it seems like we just need to have orientation, you know? Today's orientation because it's Friday and I do feel like we're missing something.

You know, one day we're going to look back on this day and be like, we didn't even appreciate that it was Friday. I know. I guess because next weekend is like the longest weekend ever with Thanksgiving. And I'm so excited for it. So maybe it's like this little weekend today. Also, it's like one day we'll look back on this Friday and wish we appreciated it. Technically, that would be on Monday. That will feel that way. But like Monday of next week is a Thursday.

Okay, it's also really important to know, like one day we will look back on today and this is totally separate, but we're going to be like, oh my God, we were so skinny. And like, I'm just sitting here thinking like how fat I am. So that's important too. That's true.

That's important too. That's what we call here at the Toast perspective. That's so true. It's always good to remember that. Like you can be bigger and you probably will be bigger. No, no. Not only that, but like your current body that you hate is also future you's goal body. It's so true. It's so true. I just, okay. So like I was just looking at pictures from our Utah trip. Like,

last year and that was like right after I got off of Ozempic and I went on like a little bit of like not a bender but I like treated myself for like a month and I didn't weigh myself and then I had weighed myself and I had gained four pounds and I was so upset I was like everybody's looking they can see the four pounds on me and I just remember like hating my body and I just was looking at a video of me singing to the kids um in Utah and I'm perfect looking like I'm so mad I didn't even enjoy it it's true

Oh my God. So that's just womanhood. That is womanhood. Enjoy today. Nay, it's personhood. Enjoy what we have. And it is true that this is like our last full week until two weeks from now, but we

So it's just our last full week until tomorrow. We have so much goodness coming up. Like so much goodness on the horizon and it's Friday. Like we don't even have to convince ourselves. Like next week is the best week of the year. It's the best week of the year. I'm seeing Wicked. I'm seeing the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I'm so excited for my Thanksgiving plans even though we're not spending Thanksgiving together. And you would think like, oh, it's the best week of the year. The following week's going to be hard because it's,

Not the best week of the year. But then next week we're together. It's Gizno in Hollywood, Florida. We're performing at the Hard Rock Seminole Casino Stadium, not stadium, arena. And it's going to be amazing. You know, we haven't really bragged about it yet. And that's be annoying. But if there's like a toaster in your life, I feel like this time of year, like to get your friend like toasty, something toast related for Christmas. We actually have a lot of options. Obviously, merch is always good.

But tickets to Gizno, that's a great gift if you're in the Florida area. A Patreon gift card, you can buy someone a month of Patreon, an annual gift card of Patreon, you save 10% when you buy the annual one. Like there's a lot of toast related gifts out there, not to be like self promo, but you know, this is a business, sorry. Also, if you don't live in the area, like might we suggest a girly swirly weekend to come to Gizno because the hotel, the hotel that we're performing at is so cool and

It's a guitar. It's shaped like a guitar. There is a casino. Restaurants, like, it's Florida in December, pargylicious weather. Like, come on down. I already came up with my Instagram caption for, like, the picture I take at Gizmo. I heard.

Yeah, because I was thinking one of my favorite Taylor lyrics like to ruminate on these days is lost the game of chance. What are the chances? And I'm like, oh, that's actually a good caption for like a sorority who goes to Vegas. And I put it on my Instagram. I was like, listen, I can't go to Vegas anytime soon. I'm not going to be in like partying and up at a casino. So if one of you wants this caption, you can have it. And then everybody was like, turdy, Gizno was at a casino and I totally forgot. So take it back. You can't use my caption. That's what I'm using. Yeah. I'm going to be using, I don't know, something about the Giz. There are so many. Something about the Giz.

I think you got a little jizz on your leg. That's a good caption. I got a little jizz in my heart. Yeah. Jackie jizzed all over my heart. Right? And we're going to jizz all over your hearts at just no holiday spectacular. It's going to be a jizz fest.

If we ever do like a show with an opener or something, like more than one performer, it'll be Jizz Fest. We'll just make Margo or Olivia come out and like talk for five minutes so we can call it Jizz Fest. So Jizz No Holiday Spectacular, December 8th, Hard Rock Casino. Get your tickets. You are not going to want to miss this. It's kind of like the talk of the town. I'm also really excited to come stay at your house because I know you've been shopping a lot at HomeGoods and I feel like there's new things waiting for me. There's new things to see. Different, just different.

just like activities like I'm just excited and I know you got a cold plunge and well I was so excited about that's the big major update is that I got a cold plunge because as I told you I'm working on like my garden I'm doing like a zen garden and I've got a cold plunge from sun home saunas and I'm so excited because our husbands and you but I guess you'll be taking a break from plunging but like oh can you not I mean you probably could but like

No, I don't even like it when I'm not pregnant. I don't like it's not for me. Ben is obsessed. Our husbands are obsessed. I actually like got it as a gift for my husband and for myself. But I could like pretend to be selfless. Sun home saunas like have the best cold plunges. They also have saunas. And so now I'm like, I would assume do I need a sauna?

I would assume that Send Home Sauna also makes saunas. Yeah. No, they're the best in class. They actually gave me a code to share with everyone. Code is the toast for $300 off. If you want to give someone a sauna or a cold plunge this holiday season. I feel like you reach a certain level in like your content creator career when you get a cold plunge in your house. Like it's giving the ball sticks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to put like my hair. Shannon has one. My hair up in my claw clip. Just do like a morning plunge. Yeah.

By the way, it's really a great way to start your day. I actually asked Dr. Fox about it. Like what he thinks of like the science behind it. He said it personally, that's not something he engages in, but he understands like, you know, the benefits. And Ben was like really trying to get him. I'm like, Ben, he's a doctor, please. Like Ben was like, no, no, you got to try it, Dr. Fox. No, the benefits are just like, they're so obvious, you know, like it's just an obvious good thing for your body. Like the natural adrenaline, all of it. So I'm really looking for, I'm kind of like maybe going to be a new person once I start like my daily plunge before the toast. Yeah.

Yeah, once she gets her garden up and running, her cold plunge and her sauna set up, it is over for you bitches. But the thing is, like, the cold plunge is right around the corner. We just have to, like, plug it in. The garden, like, okay, we're not going to have fresh herbs for a while, okay?

It's moving slowly. That's actually really... But the plunge is here and I'm going to have it plugged in for Ben for when he comes. It's not very clean of you. You're not serving your family fresh herbs. So here's the thing. It's not even about cleanliness. The store-bought herbs are fine. The issue is when I buy herbs, I don't use them and they go bad. And when I need herbs, I don't have herbs. So I do need herbs off the vine. I just do. I have a problem with herbs. Okay.

I'm glad we brought this up. Because Ben loves herbs. Like, he is always buying. He goes to the grocery store and he puts them all in one, like, you know, of the plastic bags. And if I'm ever using herbs, which I'm not, so this problem doesn't happen to me a lot, how one is supposed to differentiate one herb from another when they're not in packaging or anything. They're just all thrown in a bag. That's why if you have a little garden and you can put, like, little signs, like, where you put the leaves, that actually I understand because all herbs look the same. Like, you want to tell me you know the difference between rosemary and thyme? No, you don't. Well...

So there's two ways to know. One, you could smell them. I wouldn't know the difference. A smell check. Also, my grocery store like has a bundle of herbs that you could buy or you could buy like a little package. Yeah, but the package, like that's really not fresh. Oh, you think? No, I think it's fresh. They go bad in like two seconds. And then also it's like if you really want to preserve your herbs, like put them in a sealed container. I get targeted with that guy. Do you ever see that guy on Instagram? He's like, here's how to store your herbs and then like how to take one herb, plant it in a little planter and you could have

Rosemary forever. No, I've never seen him. Yeah, I'm always like saving his videos. Let me ask me how many times I've gone back to him. Yeah, to never return. You know what I think of when I think of like the classic herbs? I wonder if you're going to guess. I feel like you're not. Something from our childhood. The classic herbs.

Like when you think of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Well, now when I think of Parsley, I think of Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. No, one of the songs we learned to play, like at the, Jackie and I were in piano lessons like from the day we were born, like till we were 16. Like seriously, some of the worst days of my life. And the classic song, I feel like we all learned it at first, was Scarborough Fair. Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

She was a true love of mine. Are you familiar with the Scarborough Fair? I'm familiar with the first lyric. The rest is like totally you experience. That's not like, I'm not like, oh yeah, I remember. Let me see if I just made that up. No, no, you didn't make it up. But the reason why I think that resonates more with you is I think we learned that on the guitar and you took more guitar lessons than I did. Because I remember our guitar teacher singing Scarborough Fair because our piano teacher wasn't singing. And by the way, do you know that Scarborough Fair...

It's a traditional English ballad. It's like what they used to sing like on a boat, you know, like a sea shanty. Yeah, a sea shanty. Oh my God, I know a sea shanty. I'm literally so cultured. That is seriously so funny and I can see our guitar teacher singing that song. Okay, and I also got the wrong word. Words wrong. Where are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Savory sage. Jackie, savory sage, rosemary and thyme. Mine was better. Parsley sage. Yeah, throw an extra herb. But the thing about sea shanties is that they evolve, right? Yeah, yeah. They're kind of like... They're written. They're spoken word. It changes. Spoken word. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to know? I did something crazy last night. Actually crazier.

I feel like when I watch something really random on TV, that's like you never would expect me to watch. Like craziest thing she could do. Seriously so crazy. You wonder what I watched last night? Porn. Kind of close. Tell me lies. No, I watched the Ashley Madison documentary.

Have you heard about it? I have. I've almost started it on Netflix a couple of times, but it's a tough sell to Ben. He's like, what? No, no, no. Like don't watch it with your husband. It would be like weird to do that because- Give him ideas. Like kind of, because in the beginning they're like making the case that like infidelity is, it's just nothing. It'll save your relationship. And then actually it's good for them to watch because they could see how like

you'll regret the day you ever did. But I'm actually, I'm almost through with the third and final episode and I'm really enjoying it. I remember when it happened and it was a big deal, but like it was the biggest deal. And also who do you think of when you think of the Ashley Madison scandal? Like who's the person that comes to mind?

Kristen Takeman. A hundred percent. And I'm like, they keep talking about how like, oh, celebrities and powerful people. By the way, that was the craziest part. People sifting through the clients. Claudia, there are a couple other names that they shared that I didn't remember. Hit me. Snooki's husband.

Okay, so I actually knew that and I was not going to share it because I love Snooki and like I think she has a good marriage and whatever, like whatever they do behind closed doors is none of my business. So I was going to say that, but I didn't want to. I love her all, I ride for her. They're telling the perspective of like this Christian YouTuber who like his whole career was taken down because he was on Ashley Madison. And when he was first exposed, he told his wife like, I signed up, I never met anyone. I never did anything. It was just like a curiosity. And that's like why my email is there. And like she forgave him really quickly. And then it turns out like that's not what happened. He had a second family.

I don't know. I haven't gotten to the part where they tell us like what he actually did, but I think it's like crazy. And so I think that actually might've been what happened with Snooki's husband where like maybe like they were advertising everywhere, like curiosity and that like, I could see that being a forgivable offense. Another name, Hunter Biden.

I feel like on the list of things, it's like really not a big deal. Like I saw a video of him with like a gun and like a crack jam. Like it was, I was obsessed. And a booty hole. Got a party, got a party with Hunter. Like to me, that's honestly like one of the more normal things he's done. No, I know. But for me, like Josh Taichman will never disassociate from Ashley Madison. And like the fact that Hunter Biden sort of like eclipsed

Well, maybe if Josh Taichman was like doing crack with prostitutes and like holding guns at the same time, that wouldn't be the craziest thing that he's ever done. But like it's the crazy. He was also just like a family man. Like it was. And she was on TV at that time. So I understand why he got more flack than Hunter Biden. Honestly, like I do. I understand. He really took the fall for the whole thing. For the entire thing. 37 million users. And I only remember Kristen Taichman's husband. Me too. Yeah.

Oh my God, that's like actually not funny. They had like little kids, but... They're still together though, yeah? Anyone else? I actually don't know. I don't think so. Those were like the names that I knew and then there were some people, someone was like a state prosecutor. There were 15 million...

- Dot mill and dot gov email addresses. - Wait, what's dot mill? - Military, like members, and then also government workers. - What about dot edu, like professors? - Well, there's one professor who's like story they're telling, and before he even told his wife, he committed suicide. - Oy. - Yeah, I don't even know what he did on there. Oh, he was not only a professor, he was like a deacon. He was in like a ministry. - They are still married, Josh and Kristen Tinkman. He was very handsome.

So also I want to know, like, did they ever, maybe it's in the documentary. I haven't gotten there. Did they ever find out who hacked it? Because the hackers, like they hacked it. And then they told the company, like they didn't, they told the company privately, like, if you don't end this site, I will release all this data. They had 30 days to end the site, but the founder would not. He wanted to take the company public. He was like, they were very like mission oriented. And the mission of the website was for just consenting adults to begin affairs. Oh,

It was all married people. Married men and married women. But it wasn't swingers. It was to have affairs. To have affairs. Like, really just, like, physical, sexual. Like, people who don't want to leave their wives. They just want, like, something on the side. Sex. Yeah. No, it's... They make you feel that way when they're, like, life's short. Have an affair. Right, right. But...

No, and I'm now coming to the crux of it. So I'm really curious if they ever found out who did it. I'll find out later tonight. That does sound good. If you didn't just spoil the whole thing for me, like actually I would watch it. Because I didn't know like the details and even the rollout. At first it was like the whole world was waiting to see if they would drop the database. They knew it was hacked.

They knew they were threatening it. And then my God, those like couple of days where Josh Tateman was like waiting for his email to drop, like I'm sure were some of the darkest of his life. So first they dropped like the email addresses. So like if you had an account, like you had to tell your partner, but you could say like that YouTuber did like, I just had an account, but I never did anything. Then they drop like photos and the founders email. And then I think after that they drop like people's like messages and connections, just nightmare. Yeah.

Yikes. Oh my God. That sounds good. It was good. It was exactly like what I, I was just looking for something like that. That was like our version of like WikiLeaks, you know? Yeah. Like reality stars and their husbands on AshleyMadison.com. So crazy. What a crazy time. It was like kind of right before our time. Right before. I actually remember I was in high school when it happened because that was when Kristen Tegman was on. I don't think she was on the show. Real Hustlers New York.

I don't think she really was 20, it was 2015 or 2017 before or after her tenure. I think it was after she never like addressed it on the show. Ashley Madison. I don't think so. Missed opportunity. 2015. So you were in college. I was in college. Yeah. Okay. And was she on the show? I don't know.

It's Friday. We also have Queenie and Weenie. Did you, were you able to come up with Queenie and Weenie? Easily. How about you? Me too. Me too. Like super easily. Obviously Weenie came to me in my sleep, you know, overnight. Oh, you did? Actually, my Weenie is like a, is multiple people, but like from the same organization. Of the CMAs? No, actually. Oh, really? They were like, you know, they were contenders, but no. They're contenders for me. It'll be a last minute, you know,

Winner by a hair situation. Yeah, that's how you feel in 30, 40 minutes. And maybe someone will come up today. Actually, someone might come up today in our first story. Do we have a story about Mark Ruffalo? No. Are we supposed to? No, but if someone's coming up as a weenie, the odds are it's Mark Ruffalo. No, he's like an emergency lever. When all else fails. Yes, on a down week. Mark Ruffalo.

Yeah. I'm ready to dive in if you are. As am I. Without further ado, here are the Fast Five Stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five Stories that you need to know are brought to you by a new sponsor technically, but not a new brand in Jackie and I's Rolodex. Jackie, do you know who today's lead sponsor is?

Like seriously, Jackie and I have such a long history with Color Wow. One time, a Color Wow spokesperson, Chris Appleton, came on the toast and Jackie and I had some of the ugliest hair on the planet and he like literally read us to filth and gave us a couple of tips. And I have used every single Color Wow product that he recommended and then some ever since. It is my go-to. If I need something for my hair, whether it's hairspray, whether it's heat protector, whether it's like a pomade, I always get from Color Wow. It's a female-founded, family-owned business with over 100 major beauty awards. You've definitely heard of their super viral Frizz and Humidity Fighter. It's called the Dream Coat.

Whenever I do my own blowouts, which is like twice a week, if I do not have my dream coat, my blowout is horrible. It is the best thing. I douse my hair in it. It helps with heat protection. It helps with frizz.

Chris Appleton, obviously celebrity hairstylist, former Toast guest, is their celebrity ambassador. And when you look at like his clients, you could see like they, like his clients have better hair than everybody else. And it's seriously because of DreamWow. Money Mist is also a ColorWow favorite. It's a light ultra luxe leave-in treatment for all hair types, especially for dry, damaged hair that strengthens, hydrates, and detangles.

The Money Mist will give you expensive-looking results. It has a heat protector build-in. It has sold out three times since launching this year. I also use their blow-dry spray, which I really like. It gives me, like, a nice shine after my blowout. And then I also use their hairspray. It's also Oprah Daily's Beauty Award winner for the best leave-in conditioner of that Money Mist, which is kind of a big deal.

Obviously, football games, pumpkin spice lattes, long weekends, thanks to the Thanksgiving time. And we need to slip into our cozies. We need to be looking fashionable, but also warm and autumnal this holiday season. And that's where Quince comes in. They are known for their Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at $50.

It's not just that. All of Quince's items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. And so that includes for the season like great leather jackets, cotton cardigans, soft denim, those cashmere sweaters, and so much more. They're able to do that, price everything so well, because they partner directly with top factories. They cut out the cost of the middleman, and then they pass those savings on to the customer. So you're walking out with a really high quality item that would cost you way more at a designer store. But because it's from Quince, you're getting something really reasonably priced.

And they only work with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices. And of course, premium fabrics and finishes, which is how they have that luxury feel in every piece. I have trousers, cashmere sweaters, cardigans from Quinn's. Everything I have is Pargy. I get so many compliments on it. It's so versatile too. I can wear it like twice a week and no one's going to notice because it's really like a good staple piece.

That's really, that's not their official slogan, although it should be. Thank you. You're welcome. Our first story, I know you're going to be excited to talk about this because the Wicked promo is continuing and Ari and Cynthia have hit a bit of a snag. Some people are calling out, actually one

Ex-user called this out. It's really taking the internet by storm because they sat down for an interview and people have been left baffled by a bizarrely emotional exchange between Cynthia Erivo and the reporter. So this is what was said. I'll do my best to make it make sense. No, you can't. Yeah. Because it doesn't. So they were in an interview and the reporter says this to Cynthia.

Cynthia about defying gravity. Hold on. She said, I've seen this week. People are taking the lyrics of defying gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that. And then Cynthia said she, and then there's like this chill in the room.

And it's silent. And Cynthia literally, she actually clutches. She puts her hand to her chest and she said, and she is just seriously bereft. I don't even know what the word is. She can't even speak. Like she actually has a tremor in her voice. And she's like, I didn't, I didn't know that was happening.

And she... What was happening? The interviewer goes, I've seen it, yeah. And Cynthia said, that's really powerful. That's what I wanted. So just to go back... That's not what she said. Jackie, that's not what she said. She said this. That's really powerful. Is she British? I guess so. Yeah, she is, right? That's really powerful. And then she goes, seriously? Like, she sounded like a three-year-old. That's exactly what I wanted. And just to go back to exactly what she meant, I'm just going to read the original line again. Yeah. Right. I...

I've seen this week people are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that. And so then a person on X clipped this and said, I'm completely mesmerized by this clip. It's almost like they're speaking a language I don't understand. I can't catch the sense of it for a single moment. I'm not understanding the words or the feelings or the energy at all. It's amazing. Like, yes, what...

Did you... What is what you wanted? No, no. There is no verb. Like, there's no action in what the interview said. Holding... And by the way, it's so important to know Defying Gravity is a song sung by a witch who's, like, escaping on her broom. Like, it's not a relatable song. Like, I seriously...

Theater people, and this is really for me emblematic of how insufferable theater people are and how seriously they take themselves. And I'm actually getting annoyed because this is really making me like hate the movie.

And I'm sorry, Ariana's guilty too. Like the both of them, like the level of drama. She's like holding her hand. Holding their hand, clutching. And this is like the 10th interview where they've cried. And they have not once, in my opinion, cried over something that was worth crying over. Like I actually am getting annoyed with these two. Yeah, I can't watch the interviews. It's like way too emotional over, like it's a movie. Like, come on. About a witch. Yeah, come on. She was a witch. Her sister was a witch. But what I like about this, it's like, I feel like,

She actually asked that or said that statement to like the perfect person. Because imagine if you said that to someone that was like. Me. What? No, imagine like you seriously said to, oh, Brian Cox, the dad from Succession. Brian, I see that people are taking a lot of the lines from the final episode of Succession and holding space for them. With that and feeling power. And finding power. Feeling power. He would literally be like, fuck off. Like.

I actually can't. And I think that it's reflective of the culture of like theater kids and how seriously they take themselves. And like at the end of the day, it's real. And I'm so excited for the movie. I've heard it is incredible. It's really, really, really, really like of the utmost importance that we all just collectively take a minute to remember that like this is a fake fictional movie that takes place in a fictional land. And it has like little people and witches. Like it's not real. Yeah. And I think it's good. Like I see.

that this is a referendum on theater kids. But for me, like it's a referendum on the way that we speak and things have gotten to a tipping point. Like this is the ultimate word salad. And I feel like people have been getting away with saying things like that, that don't mean anything and we're calling it out. And I like that. And I think we need more of that.

I like that too. Cause that is what you've been saying for a while. Like the way people talk has completely lost its meaning. And it's just like words, words, salads, and these words don't even like these phrases holding space. And we've been like making fun of holding space for so long. And like, now I'm trying to, now you guys see why, because it's a meaningless phrase that's taking the meaning out of language. And I actually think that these two with their like insane marketing, um,

are actually starting to negatively impact the film. And I started to feel that like a week ago.

But this really obviously crosses a new line for me, a boundary that I just, I personally can't get past. But I think that it would be in the best interest of the film and the budget and the movie ratings if everybody just went home now. Yeah, but you know what? It's like, it's crazy. We'll look back on this as like this marketing period. It's like kind of like Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga pretending they're in love or like when two people fall in love on the set of a movie like that, they, you know, market that. This is...

some sort of like press strategy for the movie, like marketing this like best friendship, like, but to an emotional, like insane degree. Yeah. And I think for in the beginning, it was really strong because like, it's really like when two main characters are like in the relationship from a movie and it's like, oh, well you could feel the love. So it's like, oh, we are feeling the love. I'm feeling the love. But like, this has become psychotic.

Of course, no. At its core, at the beginning of like them, they had said that they were only doing press together, that they really did not want to fall into that sort of like stereotypical Hollywood trap where like two leading ladies, divas, hate each other. And like they worked really hard on their friendship. And I actually really liked the whole concept of like them being so supportive of one another, being like true best friends, doing all press together. So it's not like somebody has one moment and the other person doesn't. There's really two stars of this film. And I think that that was like actually a really nice thing that they did.

They have taken it to such a psychotic, unwell level. Like, I don't even give a fuck anymore. I wish they hated each other. Yeah. I said it. And also, it's actually like two main characters did fall in love in the movie, but you can't market that, can you? Yeah.

Ethan and Ari. Oh, right, right, right. I saw Gayle King was interviewing Cynthia Erivo and she like brought up obviously like the poster and like Gayle who is literally the opposite of chronically online, chronically offline, if you will. She didn't even know what she was asking. She was like, and so the poster? And Cynthia was like, it was actually probably felt like really awkward. She probably felt really silly in that moment. She's like talking to Gayle King. And she goes, you know, that was just like, like a human moment.

I'm like, okay, is that what we're calling it? I like that. A human moment. Yeah. That's like when you're like, uh, like you like fucked up human moment. I like that. Anyways, the movie is out. I do hear it's amazing. I hear there's like big spoiler things. I'm trying really hard. Like, I liked that they released it a week before Thanksgiving. So like the sooner, the better, but I wanted to see it on Thanksgiving. Like, cause I have the whole week off and yeah,

I'm actively avoiding spoilers and I'll be so annoyed if I spoil something for myself. Yeah. So hopefully this is coming to an end soon. The bad news is that there is part two coming out next year. So like this time next year we'll be having the same conversation. Oh God. Maybe by then they'll get, they'll get into a fight and they'll give us something new to talk about. Yeah. We need to all like collectively start planting seeds to make Ariana and Cynthia hate each other because they can't keep doing this.

No, it's not sustainable for the culture. They've been like doing this duo press junket. Like since the Met Gala, they walked like the carpet together and we have Olympics. We have another movie in a year. So like, are they going to spend the next, they're going to spend the next year? No, I feel like they're going to go to Met Gala and get like, they're just going to keep doing this for a whole year.

Well, I've had enough. If anyone cares. Like, I don't know if they do. I've had enough. Like, I had checked out. I watched a couple of stuff in the beginning. Like, you know, Ari doesn't really do a lot of talking. So I watched some of the podcasts and like the lie detector thing. And then I jumped back in on this. And it's enough. It's too much. Diana. Are you ready for our next story? Some crazy Jussie Justice news. Oh, my God. This is the story that never dies. Jussie Smollett. Smollett? Smollett.

uh jesse smollett i think yeah what do we call him what's his name we call him juicy sommelier because that's what dave chappelle called him his name is jesse smollett okay i but we've like larped him so many times yeah i'm like what's his actual name i'm looking at it jesse smollett you think it's jesse smollett no i don't think you're making him french like it's smollett maybe dave chappelle made him smollett oh he's a juicy sommelier juicy smollett yeah yeah

Seriously, one of the best Dave Chappelle jokes on the planet. Jesse Smollett's conviction overturned in alleged hate crime hoax. So I have to read the whole thing because it's like that sounds like he got off the hook with. Oh, he was. It makes it seem like it wasn't a hoax. He really was. Hate crime. Victim of a hate crime. No, his conviction in the alleged hate crime hoax was overturned on Thursday by the Illinois Supreme Court.

So Jesse was convicted in December 2021 of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly staging a hate crime against himself in 2019 and was sentenced to 150 days in county jail plus 30 months of probation and 130 K in restitution.

This came after the original charges against him were dropped in March 2019, but the case was picked back up when the state conducted an independent inquiry with a special prosecutor. In December 2023, a state appellate court rejected his bid for an appeal and it was ruled that he would have to complete his full sentence, six days of which he served before being freed pending appeal. Earlier this year, the Illinois Supreme Court agreed to hear his appeal.

in an opinion by the Supreme Court released on Thursday, they found that the special prosecutor's decision to retry Jussie violated his rights. So that's what's been overturned. So it's not about whether or not he did it. Yeah, but the retrial. Because he did do it. Things he did? That. That.

This is mega country. Things he did that he put out like a statement or there was a statement of his, like a video of him, like, you know, adamantly saying how he didn't do it. He's so embarrassing. Like seriously, if you guys haven't seen the Dave Chappelle, this is mega country. You absolutely have to go watch it. It is the funniest and also like the realist breakdown of what happened. And I, like, I seriously, he's such a freak. He also needs to stop like appealing back in the news. It keeps,

Yeah, and like maybe there was a world in which if he had just like shut up and like kept his head down. And like did the crime, did the time, moved on. Six days. Six days. But no, and now I just, I feel the need to like, you know, this doesn't mean that they're saying he didn't do it. They're saying like the way in which he was tried violated his rights on the retrial. Yeah, this is like a legal loophole. A legal loophole. His conviction was overturned, asterisk. Yeah, asterisk.

His conviction was overturned due to some bad legal advice, not due to the fact that he is innocent. Correct. I guess that was too long of a headline because when I saw this, I was shocked. I'm like, wait, is there new evidence? Like, was he actually? Because what he said happened to him was so horrible that like if there's any world in which it happened, like it's hard. It's atrocious. But literally, it didn't happen. It's so crazy. That was such a crazy time.

And to be honest, like this is, he's an actor, like the role of a lifetime for him because he will to his grave take, he will say that this happened to me. Like we, he will never, this was, he has committed his method acting for life. But it's so crazy. Like the guys literally said like, that's our friend and he paid us and here's the check stub. Jackie, there's literally the check.

Hi, I'm Jussie. And literally there was a memo to fake beat me up signed Jussie Smollett. Like literally the worst criminal ever. Like there was so much proof. The guys were like, yeah, we needed the money. Yeah, they turned on him so fast. So it was it was literally a week. That was one of the craziest weeks of my life. Like I forget who the first person to like question it was because nobody wanted to be. How could you question that?

What he said happened to him was so abhorrent. Like no one was going to be like, are you sure? But then it became like abundantly clear, like so much wasn't adding up. Um,

Like I, like I, we were actively, we were doing the toast. Like I, we were in our old studio. That was so crazy. So crazy. And when you like, the more I think about, I haven't sat with it in a while. That like, I don't know, things maybe like were petering out in his career. Like maybe like it was a slow. But they weren't Jackie. He was on Empire. Remember that show? Maybe he wanted to be bigger than that. And so he's like sitting there thinking like, how can I make a moment for Jussie's self? And he calls his friends to beat him up.

outside of subway and then i remember the prosecutor was like so you left your apartment at two in the morning to go to subway yeah it was so much i didn't know yeah yeah yeah it was like three degrees in the middle of chicago you went to subway like not even near your apartment in the middle of the night why right no freak of the century i do respect his commitment like he can't ever ever ever admit that he yeah that he did that why can he say it was a human moment yeah yeah

Why didn't he say, what were you doing at Subway? Oh, I was holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity. I was eating fresh. It was also a bad moment for Subway. Like everyone involved was just like getting taken down by Juicy Smollett. It's so true. And so he just needs to like remind you that this doesn't change what he did. Yeah. This doesn't change reality. This is just legalese. Yeah. Juicy being Juicy. Juicy gonna juice.

The juice ain't worth the squeeze, you know? Are you ready for our next story? I am. Cara Delevingne is talking about how she took Taylor Swift on a wild ride while living together after a really horrible breakup of Cara's. So the model described what it was like to be the pop star's roommate while speaking to Nikki Glaser for an interview magazine Q&A published on Thursday. She said, I was going through a really horrible breakup and she let me live with her. She explained without naming which ex it was that she had broken up from. So...

It doesn't matter for the context of the story. I don't know. I'm just curious. Anyway, she said, we're very different people. She's very homely because she looked after me so well. But we got into some, not trouble, but I definitely took her for a bit of a wild ride. Just to get her to blush would be great.

She also described the Lurd as one of the funniest people, saying, the thing about Taylor, though, is I've seen her do a speech at someone's wedding before, and it was a roast. She's one of the funniest, most clever people. Anyone could roast her easily, but at the same time, she could fuck everyone up so hard. I guess this is the first time I'm actually sitting back and thinking what unlikely friends these two are. Like, Cara is such a bad gal. I mean, we all have seen that photo of the bag of Coke flying out of her hands. Like, she's such a party girl. She's like a really...

what's the word I'm looking for? Like a rowdy, loud party. And Taylor's so the opposite. She like sews with her cats and makes baked home goods and wakes up at six in the morning and goes to work. Like, so the fact that these two are friends, I'm just now like for the first time realizing like how odd it is. And I can seriously never imagine them living together. Like I feel like Cara's room would be like covered in like eyeliner. Like a tornado. Like a penthouse on the floor. Yeah. And Taylor is like in the kitchen cleaning up from baking fresh cookies. Yeah, with, you know, eye patches under her eyes.

Yeah, and like music in the background, classical music. Yeah, it's like a sitcom, honestly. But it is true. So they met at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. And it's crazy. Like Taylor's had a lot of friends in and out the door since that time that they've remained friends. Especially like model friends, like Martha Hunt. Lily Claus. Lily Aldridge. Although I do think she's still like friendly with those two swirlies, but not enough that she would like open her doors to them. Lily Claus. Curly Clurz. Curly Clurz. Curly, Curly.

So the fact that they've remained friends like is actually so crazy. And when they're also such an unlikely duo. Makes actually no sense to me. I know. And also this thing where like Taylor houses her single friends is like the funniest thing. When I had read this, I thought like Taylor lent her like her London flat. Not that they were like physically in the same place. I thought she would do what she did with Sophie Turner when Sophie needed a place to live. Oh, Sam, I try back a loft with the girls. Yeah.

And she gave her a place. But this, no, she really was like, you know, slumber party. Slumber party. I want to know more details. When? For how long? Which apartment? Yeah. I would assume New York, no? And also, like, what was Taylor doing at that time? Like, was that during Quiet, before Reputation era? Was it? Was it with Travis? Oh my God, no way. Was it like 1989? Like, what do you think is Cara Delevingne's, like, hardest breakup? Like, what was her most long-term relationship? Was it Ashley Benson? Or Michelle Rodriguez? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. And St. Vincent was another one. Which was a while ago. Yeah. Maybe Ashley Benson, but that was like kind of recent. But that was a long relationship. So that I think is where you would like need to live with a friend. Yeah. To be a fly on the wall. To be the housekeeper who comes in and cleans up. Like that's what I want to know. Are you ready for our next story? Number four. Yeah. Yeah.

Jason Kelsey will be hosting a late night talk show for ESPN. Jason is joining the ranks of late night hosts as ESPN's newest front man of They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelsey said to premiere in 2025. The Super Bowl champ announced his new gig during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday saying the Philadelphia-based late night talk show will debut in January. He said, I've loved late night shows. I've always loved them. I remember sleepovers watching Conan with my friends. You sound like Claudia.

He said, we're going to have a bunch of guys up there, legends of the game, friends that I played the game with, coaches, celebrities. The hour-long show will tape on five consecutive Friday nights, kick-starting January 3rd. The date coincides with the last week of NFL's regular season and the playoffs. He said it's going to be a celebration. Okay, I have something to say because I did see Jimmy Kimmel interviewing Jason Kelsey, and I don't think I've ever watched Jimmy Kimmel, so this was like my first foray into his interview style. You're much more of a found girl.

I am. I am. And last night watching this was proof. I need Jimmy Kimmel to respectfully shut the fuck up. Oh my God. I've never seen somebody. And I know this is like coming for me, but this is why I don't interview guests that much. He did not stop talking over Jason Kelsey. Like he was asking him like, what do you get for Taylor and Travis for Christmas? Like, oh my God, shut up. Why do you, why do you ask a question if you don't let the person answer? Shut up. Like he's talking about Taylor uninterrupted. Like give him the runway just to let him talk.

I don't know if he was like overexcited, like that he's a big Jason Kelsey fan or this is how he interviews people. But the fact that this man has a career is just like further proof that like in late night, all you need to be is like unfunny and a man. Like that's all it takes to be like a late night legend. He was bothering the absolute fuck out of me. So I couldn't even focus on the story at hand. I was just focusing on Jimmy Kimmel's like lack of talent, which was distracting because it's huge. But then, you know, now I can think about the story. I like this. I just am like a little worried about Jason Kelsey. Like overexposure.

overexposure, but also like, you know, doing a weekly podcast, a weekly, like you don't want to run out of things to talk about. You don't want to start telling the same stories. Like I just worry a little bit. I agree. Yeah.

However, I think so far we're still copacetic because talking with your swirly brother once a week is one vibe. And then when he's doing his late night show, it's going to be about other people. It's going to be about the game. Well, hopefully he doesn't take a book out of Jimmy Kimmel's interviewing skills and he lets his interviewers talk. It's going to be about the guests. It's going to be like all-stars, celebrities. So I think he'll be able to turn the spotlight more onto others and just be a conduit where we can have a fun evening filled with football.

which is what I'm looking for. I feel like ESPN's slate of programming isn't the best. I feel like they have a couple of shows. People love Stephen A. Smith, but I don't feel like they have a million amazing... I would have said they're the best in sports. Yeah, but I mean talent-based shows that people tune into every week. You just put on ESPN when you want to watch sports. Zach's show, Mike and Mike.

What's that on? Okay, like you don't even know their names. I had never heard of them. PTI show. Let's see where it's on. He watches that every day and he watches Colin Cowherd. Yeah, that one I know. Colin, yeah. Which I don't like. PTI is on ESPN. Colin Cowherd is on... I don't even know how I would find this. Where is he? I just don't feel like they have enough stars. Fox Sports Radio. Yeah.

I don't know, I just feel like they need more glitz and glam when it comes to stars having shows on their network. And I think that this is a good idea for them. - I think this is a good idea, yeah.

Like they had briefly tried to work with Barstool. And like the whole thing ended in flames after one fucking day, which was like a good idea for them to work with them initially. And then they like seriously buckled under the pressure. It was so lame. So they've kind of like failed in this department repeatedly, except for like a few core people. So I think that this is a great idea. I think so too. I'm holding space for it. I'm feeling it. What am I doing? Holding space and feeling the power in it. No, Jackie, what am I doing right now?

Holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity? Yes! Very good. A lot of people are doing that right now, actually. Oh my God, that's just what I wanted. Our fifth and final story is for the girlies. It's brought to you by Minky Couture. Oh, you're going to want Minky Couture for this fifth and final story. A lot of people are like, Claudia and Jackie, you're obsessed with Minky Couture. How could it be so much better than a regular blanket? I get great blankets, you know, at my local store.

These blankets are so soft. They are so luxurious. It's literally like living on a cloud. So Minky Couture is the creator of the original hugs blanket, which is a stretchy plush and double-sided blanket that really hugs you back. I have never had a blanket that comes even close to my Minky Couture. I like have started to sleep because it's my throw blanket, but I've started to sleep with just my Minky Couture, not even under my own comforter. It is so warm and I love the hugs one. The stretchy factor like makes it really easy to make your bed and my bed always ends up looking like really chic.

obviously we love Mickey Couture because their products are amazing, but also their female-owned business. It was started by a mother who just wanted to provide luxurious comfort to her daughter. Now they have like a ton of different products. They also have kids blankets, which I know your kids love and are the perfect size for a crate, if anybody cares.

Our fifth and final story is for the girls. The boys? This one's for the girls. Love without holdin' back.

Who dream with everything they have. That's such a good song. It is. Is that Martina? Martini. So good. You're beautiful the way you are. The boys have Jason Kelsey. The girls have Molly Mae. She is getting a Prime Video docuseries following her breakup with Tommy Fury. So UK reality star Molly Mae Hogg is set to star in her own docuseries following the breakdown of her relationship with boxer Tommy Fury. The six-part series, which is headed for

Prime Video in January promises to take viewers behind the headlines to uncover the real Molly Mae. Cameras will follow her as she parents Bambi, her 18-month-old daughter with Fury, and launches a new business venture. So that would be Mae-Bae.

Molly and Fury were the couple of their generation with fans devastated when they broke up. The description said, this is Molly Mae as we've never seen her before. Raw, real, and redefining what it means to thrive under intense public scrutiny. The first three episodes will launch on Prime Video on January 17th. And the second three will be scheduled for the spring. So...

That's really smart, like of whoever's idea this was, because there's so much interest. And even without like the scandal, she was such a deeply like sought after person. People love to see her life, even in the boring times. And yeah.

So now to have given her a docuseries when there is so much going on and there's even, like, a higher level of, like, intrigue with her personal life, it's really brilliant. And I think that, like, overall, this is, like, such a terrible thing that he did to her, but I think she will end up, like, kind of...

Kind of almost like a little bit like our animatics, like so much better because of it. Yeah. Career wise. Yeah. I mean, people like love her vlogs and she's just like, you know, sitting in her car going to HomeGoods UK version. And so to have like something so highly produced, like interviews, third part, like I'm really excited to see her in her element and like get her back on my TV screen, even though I do watch her vlogs on my TV, like to have, it's different when you're filming yourself versus someone else filming you.

Yeah. And like people are obsessed with like her nursery, like just literally seeing what the inside of her life looks like is so interesting. Yeah.

Because she's just like a very stylish, like really someone with such immaculate taste that even like the little things in her home people are obsessed with. That's why her YouTube is so successful. Yeah, but then also like when you do know her, maybe like she's such a regular person. Like she's so regular degular. And I think that's why people love her so much because it's like on the outside she seems this way. And you'd think someone like that would just be like so snobbish. But she is the most regular down to earth like person.

Normal person. It's really, it's really crazy. She's literally one of the, or if not like the most popular reality star, maybe after like Kim, the Kardashians, but like no one has parlayed like one season of a reality show into the fame that she has. No, it's really crazy. Like even before I knew what, before I only really knew who she was specifically when you watched her season, but I had heard her name before. Cause I remember when she became like the creative director of pretty little lies, pretty little thing, pretty little thing.

everyone in the UK was freaking out. So I had heard of her quite frequently, actually. I just wasn't familiar with like her origin story. Yeah, and it's been a great ride for her. So I'm sad for that. That's what I'll be watching in January.

And I do think that is a great segue into Queenie and Weenie because actually that story just booted who my Weenie was and gave me a new Weenie. So without further ado, let's dive into Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is our final. Wait, I have to say. Oh, you know what? Actually. What? I'm just I am changing my Queenie. OK. Queenie and Weenie is our final segment for the week where we award the Queenie and the Weenie of the Week who behaved in a Queenish way, who was a wiener. It's a seven day title. Not a big deal. Like, don't get your braggos in a twist.

We'll start with Queenie because we always start with the positive. We always start. Can we start with Weenie? Because mine's, it's like a segue from the last story. Because I was, before this morning, I didn't know we were going to talk about Cynthia and Ariana. And so I wanted to talk about it. So I was going to make them my Weenies of the week. Like seriously, specific, like Cynthia more, but them collectively, like they're out of control. But I just, they've been booted. By the way, that's what I was saying when I said a fifth might come up in the stories. I figured that would be Cynthia and Ari being your Wieners.

They were my original wieners, but I have decided to give it to Katie Robertson. And I'm sure you guys don't know who that is, but it is the girl who went viral this week for basically admitting on a podcast that she's the reason why Tommy Fury and Molly Mae broke up because she had sex with Tommy Fury that night in Dubai. And she was really proud of the fact that not only did she have sex with them and she's the reason that she broke, that the family broke up, but also she was the fourth girl he had sex with that evening. So she is a freak. She had this absolute mug on her face, like wanted to punch so bad. Yeah. Like free of a girl in Dubai. But also,

- Also, I don't wanna burst your bubble, but she's not the reason why they broke up. Like there were literally probably 50 other reasons and it's like, you're not actually that special. - And I know that some people actually don't even know the video I'm talking about. So I found it. I just wanna tell you guys, it's worth it. - The tape and I said, can I post it? It was like, if me and my, so Tommy Fury was only this May, just gone. - Wait, so how did you have some with Tommy Fury?

So, I was in Dubai and we was at a club called Drift nightclub and he'd like three guys at the time bearing in mind before the accusations. Wait, was he with his wife? Yeah, wait, hold on. I need a time throw. I need a time throw. Molly Mae wasn't there. Was he with Molly Mae?

There was a thing back in May this year, but Tommy was in Dubai for work. So he was still dating? With Chris Brown. Yeah, yeah. Still dating. And he fucked three birds plus me. He fucked three birds except me. Plus me. Plus me. With you. Ugh, I hate this bitch like more than anything. And she's my weenie of the week. Katie Robertson. Remember the name. I, of course, co-sign that. My weenie is a little more innocuous. Just someone who like had a weenie moment, a human moment, and just...

had a bad idea and that's John Stamos. Oh yeah. Yeah. Then you were going to say John Mayer for going to the Sabrina Carpenter concert. Cause that was also, there were a lot of weenies in our meds. John Stamos wearing a cap and solidarity. Jackie, Jackie, when it rains, of course. But like, you know, it's not that serious. Like, and I know other people like, and I've seen like people weighing in. They're like, as a cancer survivor, like this is not offensive to me. Like it's, it's not a big deal. It was just like a bad, like not as best side and brightest idea. Yeah.

We've all been there, by the way. And that's why it's so important to remember Weenie being a seven-day title. Although I do think for Katie Robertson, it will be an eternal title. Yeah. A lifetime achievement, Weenie.

Now, Queenie of the Week. Do you want to go first or second? I'll go first because, of course, my Queenie is Turdy. Of course I had to do it. Oh, my God. That's so sweet. It was Turdy's big week. Kind of the star of the week. The big celeb news of the week. Turdy announcing her amazing news. Now, you've been my Queenie for as many weeks as I've known the joyous news. But in culmination of all of that, you know, your determination and your showing up even in the throes of not feeling well, it's very much Queenie behavior. Yeah.

That is so sweet. I almost made my, I did make my Queenie up until two seconds ago until I remembered something else. I wanted to make my Queenie. I did make my Queenie initially. Like everybody who's been so nice and so happy for me, making me so excited. Like I was already excited, but now it's like even more exciting. Like, so everybody being like so nice to me this week, you guys know, like I live for the attention, especially when it's positive. So that really meant a lot to me. So thank you. But you are not my Weenie because I got an email yesterday that actually I

became my queenie this week what are you gonna share it because we got another email yesterday that yeah I know what you think it's about I know what you think it's about I didn't think it was gonna be it so you know we get I don't want to say like a lot but we get like a decent amount of fan mail and they're always really sweet but this one like actually shook me to my core maybe it's the fact that I'm pregnant or the fact that we don't have a father like it really got to me okay yes

And I won't share his name, but I love this man, okay? He said, "Hello, Claudia and Jackie." Sorry, not me making everything about myself. He wrote Claudia and Jackie.

I am a Gen X dad with a 29-year-old millennial daughter. She lives in a different state, but I try to share experiences with her to stay connected. Our dog texts her, with my help, of course, throughout the day, asks her how she's doing, shares daytime drama and photos. Since we share a Spotify account, I notice that she listens to The Toast, so of course I do as well. My personal favorite is that we text each other our queenie and weenie of the week.

Your podcast is more than the fast five stories that everyone needs to know. It's also something a dad and a daughter share together. Thank you for your podcast. Quote, love ya. Like, I'm gonna cry. It's too much. It was so sweet. I literally wrote him back and I was like, oh my God, you just made my whole life. I love you so much. I never heard back from him, but hopefully he hears this. Hopefully he hears this and knows that his note meant a lot to us. Because I know he's checking in on a Friday because he loves Queenie. And to know that he's the Queenie.

I was like actually so overcome with emotion. It was the sweetest thing ever. That's emotional. Plus you're pregnant. Speaking of, did you see that Volvo commercial that has everyone? Yeah.

I've been sent it quite a lot. And I'm actually like, I watch it for a couple of seconds and I needed a break. Like I haven't sat, like I wasn't ready to take on that type of emotion. I didn't make it all the way through because it was just like too much. I'm like, why am I crying at a car commercial? Like when she said she was worried about going to like doing well in class, I'm like, I'm out of here. I actually didn't even get there. I don't know what you're talking about. So just like, I just saw the pregnancy test. Yeah, no, like just the pregnancy. Yeah, that's when it starts. Just like the emotion.

So yeah, I think it makes like everyone cry and I guess I have to get a Volvo.

It's the safest car in the market, Jax. It really is for kids. - I know, but I'm like so Tesla loyal. Like they'll have to pry the Teslas. I want all three. I want them X, Y, and Z. Like I want, I actually was thinking about it this morning as I was driving. Like, where am I going from here? You know, Jerry's waiting for an answer on what kind of car I want next. I haven't made a decision. - Who the hell is Jerry? - Oh, he's my sales associate at Tesla. And it's like- - He's literally not even a person, right? He's an automated machine. - I think so. Even though he gets a little emotional, I think it's a person.

I want a Y and a Cybertruck. I need both. Well, I want lunch. What are you going to have? I don't know. The world is true. Oh, I'm actually at Meeting Satchel for lunch. I'll have to wait like a little bit. Cratchel? Yeah, I'm having lunch with Cratchel. Not a big deal. Oh my goodness. Just like, yeah, having lunch, a big, big lunch. Big lunch with the big exec? Yeah. Oh my gosh. What's the occasion?

Friday, Cratch was available. I asked her if she wanted to have lunch, figuring me like, no, I can't. And she was like, sure. Cratch was available. You never hear those words. You never hear those words. Cratch's availability is nil, usually. Oh my God, send my love to Cratch, will you? I will. I'll send you pics of us at lunch. I'll take a couple of sneaky shots of Cratch. You guys, that's our show. Thanks for a great week.
