Small, Fragile City Slicker: Thursday, March 27th, 2025
01:01:32 Share

It's the toast. It's Jackson Claude. It's your favorite show. The fast 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 that feels like a fucking Friday, bitch, because we're fucking celebrating. Jackson Claude is coming to town. Jackson Claude is coming to town. Jackson Claude.

To town! That's right. We're singing synchronicity-ly because Jax and Vlad are coming to town. Hey, Jax, how you doing? I'm doing good. I am in New York City, the big city. Big city slicker. Look at me, all black. Actually, she's tiny. She's a tiny little, fragile little city slicker. Oh, tiniest. She's microscopic. She's too precious to walk down these streets. You are too precious to walk down these streets. I always was. Even when I lived here, I was not the elk of New Yorkers.

You were not made for city slicking. And now, like a fish out of water, I'll take an Uber. I'd never know you weren't a big New York City gal with your all black outfit, your slick back bun. She's cosplaying. She's doing what she does best. She's LARPing as a New Yorker today. I am. Even though I'm a New Yorker, which is so crazy. You are. But I never was. No, not in your true heart. Even when I was here 10 years, I never was.

Also, we're doing something really fun today, which is vlogging our day. We have such a busy day, you guys. Not to be such annoying influencers. No, and like influencers and content creators only do like a day in the life when they're super busy. Which is what we're doing today. Which is what we're doing today, but we're also doing like a lot of interesting stuff. So even if we were this busy every day, I would still choose today to vlog because there's a lot going on. Like we're shooting a commercial. We're going to be...

On set? On location, actually. On location. We have a guest interview. We have a GNO tonight. Right. I'm trying to get my hair cut because I missed my haircut yesterday. If you're wondering, my hair looks like this. It's because I thought I was going to have a party blowout this morning and I don't for my big commercial. Yeah, but I'm just going to be a slicker for my commercial. I think we'll be better for the vibes of the commercial. The creative of the commercial, actually, the role that you're playing is...

Like, slick. They slick. And you guys are probably wondering, like, don't you guys have hair and makeup for your commercial? No. No. No, we don't. That would require us waking up earlier. So we politely declined. So we don't have hair and makeup for our big commercial. That's why we look so pargylicious today. We have...

So much to do. Like we have a Pargy show. We also have kind of a inaugural moment here in Toast Tertiary. This is Jackie's first time visiting me at our, yeah that's right Jackie also pays for the studio, our new studio. You haven't been to the new NYC HQ yet. Give me your thoughts. We got her whole reaction on the vlog that we're vlogging of course but tell me your initial thoughts. It's nicer than I expected. I don't know why. What did you expect? Just like it's lighter and brighter and

Like more Kardashian than I thought. Like, Oh, you know what I mean? My God. And the pinks, like it,

It's a very Kardashian vibe. Am I at Kylie Cosmetics offices? Wow, okay. I was a little nervous about you coming because first of all, you do contribute to half the rent. So you do have a say. And also, I didn't want her thinking I'm a rat in my New York City disgusting dungeon studio. So over the last, since I found out you were coming, I've been making improvements. I had the wallpaper put up.

Little things like I got all the boxes cleared out. Like I really wanted you to, you know, respect our NYC HQ because I respect our South Florida HQ. And now our new one. And now our new one. Yeah. So I think it's really great. I don't know why. Even when you show me this wallpaper on FaceTime, like it just looked darker. Like everything, just the color of everything is different. It's a very porridgey vibe in here. So it's not like I was expecting to come to a dump, but like,

Part of being in a studio is like you want a dumpy vibe because it should be like dark and quiet. And no, it's light and bright and I'm enjoying my time here. Okay, she said it's Kardashian. I did and I meant it. We have actually such good stories today. A lot of internet drama, not drama, but like the internet swirlies were making news yesterday. Yeah, no, my group chats were popping off. I could not keep pace with them because...

Because I was traveling and as I said, like I missed my haircut because my flight got moved. It was just a long travel day and I couldn't even keep up with my group chats because that's so much that internet was talking. Yeah, lots was going on. We're going to talk about the Alex's. We're going to talk about Remy and Chloe's podcast. And then some other human interest type stories to get you guys settled into your days. Yeah. It's Thursday. Usually we'd have summer house recap, but due to all...

The travels and Claudia went out to dinner last night. So it's not just me because Zach actually turned it on the hotel TV. He turned on Summer House and I was like, no, Claudia's not watching. I could have watched it when I got home, but like I'm a pregnant person. I need to be asleep by 930 and I did get home at like 945. So that was hard for me. So no Summer House recap this week. This week is just like a little where the toast, where Jackson, Claudia, New York City giveth, it also taketh away a little bit. Yeah, we're not in our routines. Even though last night was like our episode. Yeah.

it was it was like craig and kyle okay it's been our episode for like four weeks so i kind of it's kind of like the boy who cried wolf agreed agreed but of all the episodes for us to miss like we wouldn't miss this one but it's fine i'm sorry i we were sat for the last four we were sat for the last four i had to move on with my life um so what was i saying before what weren't you saying oh yeah i went out to dinner i had salmon i thought you got

I was going to get spaghetti pomodoro, but then I forgot about kind of like a major life event that happened to me yesterday. Okay. I went to the doctor for, you know, my visit. And I was...

I always when I go to the doctor there's like two appointments you do the scan and the check on the baby and then you go check on you well you go upstairs and you get like your blood pressure your pee your weight and I always the nurses they're amazing they're like we're gonna weigh you and I'm like okay I'm gonna turn around take my shoes off like please just write it down I'm not interested in knowing and I can't be the only one who's that's that they're like of course of course and they've respected it every single time and they're like always hyping me up you know like queen you look beautiful yesterday was no different queen you look beautiful I said thanks queen

Then I went into like a different office to talk to the doctor and she was like, you need to get blood drawn. So on your way out, she gave me like this paper. It's like a form that you take to the lab to give to the lab person to be like, hi, I'm here to get my blood drawn. And I don't know why the fuck I looked at it. I never thought for a second my weight was going to be on it, but it was on it. Now it's also funny because it was like a lot of words on this paper. My eyes found like I just saw weight. It's actually insane how my eyes were looking for it.

And this is the first time I have found out my weight since probably like my first or second appointment. Like, so when I was like 13 weeks, I just decided that I wasn't going to keep up with my weight. Now, if I could do it all over again, I probably wouldn't have not known.

Not to even change the number that it is today, but just it wouldn't have been so like surprising to go from the number you were at before to the number you're at now. Yeah. And to be honest, like I really had no idea what I was going to be at. I'm like, maybe it's not so bad. And like it was, it was pretty much as like bad as it could be. How much have you gained? Um,

You don't have to tell us your weight, obviously. Like, we're not psychopaths. Yeah, well, when I went to the family chat to just sort of, like, say, I was literally crying in the car. She was crying. She's like, I'm tearing up. Like, I accidentally saw my weight. And Jackie's literally, she didn't even say, like, oh. She goes, what was it? I need to work with the facts before I can have an emotional response. Um...

So all that to say, yeah, I didn't get the pasta last night, but also because- Wow, that's how much it affected you? No, actually not really. Dr. Fox just keeps telling me I need to eat like more fish and meat. My iron levels are low. So like, I was like- That's because you're so skinny and small. That's what I thought, right? So color me so surprised when I saw my weight on the form.

So I don't like to eat fish in my house. Like, I can only eat fish at a restaurant. Do you know what I mean? So I never go to restaurants. So I was like, you know what? I should have the fish. Don't worry. I also had pizza and, like, so much bread. I was fine. You need a fish pasta. No. No, I don't. Yummy. And so if anybody's, like, in my position where it's, like, weight is your whole life and, like, you've lost a lot of weight and now, like, you're getting pregnant and you have to go back, I would suggest...

not turning a blind eye. I don't think it was my wisest decision, but there was so much change, you know? I couldn't take it on. - Yeah, it's good to know just so that you never see like a jump of 30, 40 pounds. I don't know what the actual number, 'cause I don't know what you were before. I only know like your, so I'm not saying that you have gained 30, 40 pounds. I have no idea. - I wish. Oh God, wait, you're making me feel so much worse. 30, 40, I wish. - How much have you gained?

That's not bad. Stop. No, it is. It is. Like Kylie gained 60. It's bad. No. And then I like. I gained 60. Yeah. I just have some time left, you know? Yeah. Well, I posted this whole saga on my Instagram story and like people were very quick to, you know, chime in with their responses. And I just want to say to the people who were like trying to be helpful, being like, I get it. I gained 30 pounds. Like.

30 pounds is so not a lot and what people don't understand that I know I'm gonna make it worse for us but you guys need to understand how bad we have it it's that we are short so like Kylie gaining 60 pounds and me gaining 60 pounds is not it's like you gaining 80 yeah like I like to tell myself oh Kylie did it too but no it's so much different when you're short it's so like yeah for short people you probably gain 30 40 pounds and that's a lot when you're in the 50s and 60s like that's a

A lot, a lot. And if you, and I just want to say like any amount that you gain, cause someone's sitting there who's short, who gained 80 pounds and you know what I mean? And like, that is going to be me. Like, wait, fuck. Every pound you gain is beautiful. That's why like, not only should you keep a breast just to know, so you never see this like stark change, but you have to just make peace with it. You have to make peace with it. Like breastfeeding and ozempic are waiting for you. I felt like a brat, like being upset about it, especially after like a

clean bill of health from the doctor. Like that's all, like the fact that I walked out of the doctor and the thing I was thinking about was my weight, not the fact that like the scan went great. Like it's so, I'm sorry, I'm a human being and like it is what bothered me and like that's why I'm crying in the car like an actual six-year-old. Um,

But like, I wish I could change my perspective. I can't. I'm sorry. Like, I know what everybody's saying. You're right. Like Margaret sending me inspirational text messages. Like, I know. Not statue with the wisdom. I know. Even though I wanted to slap her. She was like, she said the thing that like, I just hate you. You're literally going to hear it. Like, shut up. Like she's also on her camera app in the mirror. Like, you know, to be clear, I'm gaining. I'm growing a four pound human. Okay. Yeah.

Like, let's just be real. I know, but you really have to make peace with it. And I feel like you know that you should, but you actually haven't tried to. I know that I should and I actually haven't tried to 1000%. I have a lot going on. I'm shooting a commercial today. Like, I just can't. I really can't. And it's just when you're at a weight that like you hate so much and then you finally like you fulfill your life stream of getting away from that weight, which I did. Thank you, Ozempic.

You think you're never going to return. I like turned my back on that number and I'm like, see you never bitch. Meanwhile, see you next year. Yeah. That's so different. It's so different. It's so different. I know, I know, I know.

So that's why I had the salmon. No, I'm kidding. That isn't why I had the salmon, but it wasn't not a factor. I'm just going to, I'm going to try to walk a little bit more. I'm really not going to. I feel like you've been healthy though. Or do you just pretend like to the family that you're healthy? Oh, does that, does it come off that way? I'm not trying, by the way, sometimes I do put my best, sometimes I do put my best foot forward and like lie to you guys. I don't feel like I've been doing that. Okay. How do you think that I've been healthy? Like, I just, I've not seen you like,

like order like a crazy meals and you don't post like huge amount. Like you go and you go to the diner and then you, Ben makes you dinner. Like it seems like very balanced. I thought so. That's what I thought. I'm not hiding what you're doing. I think you should keep doing what you're doing. Okay. Yeah. Except now I'm just like really, especially my physical therapist said like try and walk as much as you can. So I'm trying to get in like 5,000 steps a day, which I think is just good for like life, you know? But I was having round ligament pain, so I really couldn't. Now I'm feeling better, but whatever. It's fine. Like whatever.

Yeah, maybe. It's whatever. Well, thank you for sharing that and being vulnerable. It's actually going to be a theme of today's episode. I know. We're going to talk about Remy making news on Khloe Kardashian's podcast. Yeah, I'm happy for Khloe. I'm happy for Khloe, too. This was a good get. I actually... It was mutually great gets for each of them. Yes, I knew Remy at some point was going to share her journey, and I was wondering where she was going to do it. Yeah.

And I actually can't think of a better place. No, and Khloe's a new podcast, so of course she didn't come to mind. But they're friends. Khloe's obviously been through a lot of weight loss and also weight criticism. Yeah, like being in the spotlight about your weight. Throughout her career. It was really perfect and so premium. It kind of looks like this because it was very Kardashian. Correct. So it kind of looks like this show. She also is, I can't lie, I haven't watched any Khloe in Wonderland. It just hasn't been...

to me yet, but that's podcasts. Every episode is for everyone else. And I watched Remy's. Let me tell you, Chloe is a very good interviewer because she knows how to listen. Yeah. Which...

We're still working on it. Critical skill. Yeah. And I also finally understood the title of her podcast after also watching Kardashians of last week. Is it not Alice in Wonderland? No, it's like, it's all about things she's curious about. Wonders about. So it's like she's in wonderland of a land of wondering about things. Oh, okay. That's actually kind of pargy for a podcast because she'll talk, because when on the episode I was watching, she was talking about how she'll have people come on and talk about, you know, the pyramids. Like, please no. Okay. I've so had enough of the pyramids. Or how the earth is flat. Please no. No.

But I felt like, you know, all that stuff and that stuff plays so well on podcasts. It does. Just like theorizing conspiracy and everything, all types of different just wonders. So I put it all together and it was quite pargy. Well, it was my first time watching. It's really high quality. It's funny how the Kardashians like invented, remember that photo booth that they used to have everywhere, Murmur? And like, it was like, they were posting these pictures from events on Instagram and they were so beautiful. And then everybody started getting the Murmur at their own wedding. And they were like,

And whatever they did there, like they applied to her podcast. Everybody looks gorgeous on it. Their skin, it has like this tan filter. It's pargy. Same with the show. They have filters on. They have technology. We need that technology. You're telling me after seeing my weight at the doctor's office. Yeah. So...

The stories are actually really good today. I feel like we're going to have some kind of complex dynamic combos. Classic us. So us to be so complex and dynamic. So without further ado, where are you? Where are you? He's either in heaven or in the dungeon in Brooklyn being someone's sex slave. Sad. Oh, I wonder if I'll see a rodeo while I'm here. Well, I hope so because he got groomed yesterday for you. So me and Ben, um,

send Romeo to like a grooming place and you know you always have doubts when you send like your children furry or otherwise to like a facility you're like are they abusing the dogs there you see these videos online and and you know every time we go we just like we acknowledge like maybe something's happening and like we just need to get over because he's got to get bathed and his nails so yesterday I was walking past the place while Romeo was there and they actually groom them in the window which I like like you can't be abusing a dog in a public storefront

And I looked my head in and, oh my God, he is in love with this woman. And I actually went inside. I should have done this before. I met the woman who grooms him. Oh, she loves Romeo. She's like always doing Romeo. She showed me pictures of him in January. So I felt really good that like the daycare I'd been sending Romeo to isn't abusing the dogs. At least not my girl. Yeah. Or not your dog.

Yeah, that's so true. Maybe some of the uggos. Yeah, but Rodeo gets special treatment. Special treatment. They sent him out in like a little bow. So I want him to look nice for you and your family. So you have to come see. Okay, yeah. And the kids will be excited to see him too. 1000%. Okay, we'll make a play date. We'll set it up. I'll have my people call your people. Ben will call Zach.

Thank you, Sasha Tartt. You are just like so welcome. Our first story, influencer Remy Bader admits to weight loss surgery after months of speculation. Remy joined Khloe Kardashian on her most recent episode of Khloe in Wonderland and shared that she had a brand new newer surgery, which helped with her weight loss over the last year. So she revealed that she underwent a weight loss surgery that cut 80% of her stomach and

amid months of online rumors speculating that she was either taking medication or got surgery. She said what everyone online, of course, at this point, everyone online is like, okay, well, she did one of the shots or she did the sleeve or something. No one guessed this. She admitted that she got a surgery called S-A-D-I, otherwise referred to as single anastomosis duodenal switch. She kept referring to it as S-A-D. Oh, I was gonna say SAD-E.

Of course she did. Of course I was going to say that. Of course you were going to say it wrong. So the website explains that the SADY procedure combines sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass to promote greater weight loss. It's a form of bariatric surgery, which we all know is like gastric bypass, the sleeve. This is a different type of it. It creates a tube-shaped sleeve as well, separating the top part of the small intestine to below the stomach before reattaching it to the bottom part of the intestine. So basically she got 80% of her stomach cut out.

Yeah. And so I watched the episode. Um, she spoke a lot about like, before she even said that, like I had had surgery, she wanted everyone to understand like how she got to the place that she did, which I appreciated because she found herself in like a precarious situation where she became like the face of the body positive movement. And she has said in this interview, but, and I know her personally, she said it to me, but she says it in every interview she does. She's like,

hi, I'm not body positive. Like I don't love my body. I actually hate my body. So when you become the face of like, you're supposed to love and accept yourself and then you do something drastic to change it. She's received a lot of criticism for that. So her sitting down and like really explaining it with somebody who gets it was very smart. Now, I think people are kind of committed to misunderstanding and just disliking the fact that she did this. Cause I've seen a lot of people just making TikToks about it. And they, they just,

They hate that she did it, you know? Yeah. It probably feels like a betrayal because she was like, even if she didn't want to be, but she was like the face of this movement for them and felt like a role model. But even following her at the time before she had the surgery, like, and she shared even more about her poor health status on Khloe's podcast. But even you could just see in her videos, there were days at a time where she couldn't get out of bed. Because of her back, her knees. She couldn't walk. She had like multiple backs

surgeries, sleep apnea. And then, so that's the stuff we knew when she shared, but stuff that she didn't share that even as her friend, I didn't know was that actually when she, um, one of the things that really drove her to make the decision to get the surgery was that she was told she was becoming infertile because of her weight. And that was something like she never expected. Um, but yeah, like sleep apnea, she, you know, if she's,

fell or something it really um I know that she fell and her like her knee gave out so there were days where she couldn't walk and then she just has like genetic and hereditary back issues which were exacerbated so she was like you know a 27 year old girl who had two two back surgeries like that's not you know a normal place to be at so she very much said like my weight

was the reason for my declining health at 27 years old. Right. And I think that just followers of hers without like having inside knowledge could see that, that it wasn't like this amazingly positive thing all the time that was like really weighing and negatively impacting her quality of life. Yes. And her relationships too. She had spoke openly about like her

romantic relationships, but also her relationship with her parents, like, because they were really worried about her, and, like, there's really no way to say it in a good way. And in a way that the person wants to hear, and is like, thanks. We've all been there. No. So it just was impacting every... And so she spent the first, like, 30 minutes of the podcast just really...

letting people know what her life was like before, just to like, I think to deflect any sort of criticism of her decision to do it. Now it, people are going to hate regardless, but she really wanted people who were open to understanding her journey to get that. And I feel like she did a good job. Then she shared the actual surgery process, which honestly sounded horrible. So, um, she happened to have had like a, it's a, it's a decent recovery and she

Like everything that could go wrong did. So like you're supposed to feel sick for a couple of days. She was sick for six weeks. She had to move home. She couldn't take care of herself. Throwing up. Just.

Just really, really like bad and hard. And she was also then like freaking out being like, what the hell did I do? Like I changed my body and now I feel, and I'm having an abnormal reaction to it. Did I just ruin my life? Like, am I going to be in the hospital for the rest of my life? Which I didn't even think about that part, but like that must've been a bug out, right? Like you made this huge decision. It seems to work for everybody else. You've never heard that other people are in the hospital for, you know, weeks at a time.

And like, did I do something wrong? So then that's like the panic of that. Eventually, like she just, she said also when they cut her open to do her stomach, she also, they found that she had a really fatty liver. So they had to do like other things. And now, like the person we see now, so she said it's been a little under a year. She's lost 140 pounds. The person we see now who's like so, feeling so good, looking so good. Like that was not the reality for the majority of the journey. And that's part of the reason why she didn't share. When did she start to feel better?

Was it six weeks? I feel like it was, like, two or three months. Okay. And I remember, like, at the time, like, watching her content. Like, you could see, like, her quality of, like, she was home. Her quality of life was really not that great.

of someone who is, you know, successful and young and, and in love. And it was just, it was, it was crazy to watch. She was still in her relationship, but he really like didn't know how to take care of her because it was so crazy. So she moved home. Yeah. That, okay. I mean, I know that they ended badly, but that feels like. No, I mean, I wouldn't know what to do. Like it's crazy. Um, and so the backlash of course has been, has been swift and kind of the

the recurring thing is like, well, she should have been honest. She should have been open. She shouldn't have told people that she was body positive and she shouldn't have told people that she did this with diet and exercise. And to be clear, like she didn't, she didn't, she didn't say that she did it with diet and exercise. She just never, she's ignored it. She just ignored it. And,

As somebody like who did something similar, like when my weight loss was becoming obvious to people and they would like start commenting Ozempic, like I blocked the word Ozempic. Like I wasn't ready to share it yet. And so I come from a place of like complete understanding. Like I totally side with Remy. Like not only does she owe nobody anything, even as the, even if she was like the most body positive face of the movement person,

She still doesn't know anything about like her own private medical journey. And the fact that she did share in her own time, like I do think will ultimately benefit people because she's not coming on here like endorsing the shit out of the surgery. She's not being like everybody should get bariatric. She's being like it was really hard. It wasn't what I expected. Now I'm at a place where I can look back fondly on the experience. But at the time, like it was not, they say it's like the easy way out, right? She's like it was not.

How does she feel now though? Because like, yes, the recovery was hard, but it seems like the whole thing, this is a whole, even like inadvertently an endorsement of this surgery because she looks amazing. She sounds happy and healthy and like that she's, you know, able to really enjoy her life now. So even though obviously it's hard,

And you go through a lot. This does feel like an endorsement, whether or not she's endorsing it. Well, she maintains that like this place that she's at now where we're all seeing like a much happier, healthier version of her physically, mentally, job wise. She really maintains that like it's not all due to the fact that she lost weight.

Um, she did other work on herself therapy, um, obviously getting out of the relationship and then being heartbroken for the first time. Like she feels like she's on the other end of like a bunch of things that have all contributed to this like newer version of herself. But I think that she feels if she says, and this is just me guessing, I think she feels if she says, um,

that you know it's all due to the fact that she's thin now it's like definitely a betrayal to the community the community but also like something that I know she really believed in and believes in when she was building her platform yeah but I feel like you had the same thing because you are so positive like I feel differently like and this is where I don't necessarily relate like word for word to her experience is like I didn't find myself really unhappy in my life

as a plus size person. I just hated the way that I looked like I came at it really, to be honest, from like a shallow point of view. Um, and so, yeah, you don't want to admit when you lose the weight that like, it really was this thing that like, it was the thing, you know? Um, and so, but for me, like, I don't know, you could probably speak to it. Like, is my personality or my disposition very different, big or small, like my mood and my, my, my level of joy. Yeah.

I've not really thought about it, but like kind of like you've always been a happy, funny, positive person, but like you're down for so much more. You're saying yes to life. Yes, I'm more open, 1,000%. You were more like...

cautious like curmudgeony like everything's a bad idea I don't want to do this I don't want to do that and of course like there's a bunch of it's funny because like I look back I'm like I was so happy but when I when when the thing is at the time though like you were so positive and so happy but now after the weight loss it just opened up another like category of like and now you're so 360

60. Like, even though I agree with you at that time, you were so happy, but we didn't even know how much happier, but you're just a happy person and you could be even happier. I guess it's like, I think some people find themselves at a place where they're really unhappy with their weight and it affects other facets of their life, whether it's romantic relationships, career opportunities, um, different things. And I, I, I, maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't feel like I got

To that place. And that's something I'm like proud of. Like that I was able to work on myself. And really like be. In a good marriage. You know like have positive mental health. And you always have all of those things. Yes. But then it just got even more positive. Even more crazy. But not. I realize that. That I think that. That I'm unique in that experience. Yes. Because it's really hard not to let your weight. Just like take over your entire life. So when you come out of it. You don't want to say. Like it was all my weight the whole time. Yeah. But I do think.

In the future, like, when Remy looks back on this, I do think she will see that, like, it was mostly... More the weight than it was the working on herself. Or the heartbreak. Even a year ago, like, she's always been, like, a mental health advocate, always has been, like, working with people and working on her mental health. So what's actually the thing that's changed in the last year is her weight. I think that, like, people are really critical of...

her choice to do it on Chloe's podcast, which I think was brilliant. I agree. And I think probably made her feel really safe. Like Chloe's such a nice person and they have a personal relationship. And Chloe's been through dramatic weight loss with everybody's eyes on you telling you you're too skinny. You're doing it wrong. Like you, you left us in the dust. There is no right way to lose weight as a person who was, uh,

amongst the movement of body positivity and plus size. There's no right way to do it. People are going to feel betrayed. They're going to feel left behind. They're going to feel jealous. People from the skinny and Nikki Glaser just did a great bit on this on, um,

Ozempic on Jimmy Fallon just being like skinny people hate it because like now we're all equal but like you've had to work more on yourself yeah like you have a great personality you have a great personality too and now like we look the same so there's no right people are going to criticize it like I got so much backlash when they didn't like now I don't even care like I would do it 15 times over and I would wait double as long to tell everyone like I don't care because I found like myself in a good place and at the end of the day that's what matters um but all of this is really new to Remy she's not like an OG influencer do you know what I mean she's like

a TikToker who took off during COVID. So I think like, I have a lot of sympathy for her because you know, you get hardened the longer you do this and she's still relatively new to it. And that movement, that community, like they can be brutal, especially when you leave them behind. I was a part of it too. Like you feel betrayed when like one of your favorite fatties leaves you and the community, because you loved to see somebody like,

And successful and happy and healthy and rich. And, and you saw like, Oh, that could happen to me. And then when they leave, like, I get it. It's really disappointing, but like, I feel like people are being really unfair to Remy. Yeah. I haven't seen the backlash. It's on TikTok. Right. I'm sure. Um,

But this is a person who's healthier and happier than she was before. And I think that's something that should be celebrated. And if she needed to, if she didn't tell you when you wanted to know, I mean, clearly she had 140 pounds in a year. Like that's dramatic weight loss. Like you can use some deductive reasoning that like she's had some sort of aid and also just like trust your faves that she will tell you when she's ready. And if you can't trust that, then she's not your fave.

That is what people are saying. And I'm so glad you just said that being like, well, it's misleading to let people think that you lost all of this weight with diet and exercise. First of all, Remy never said that. She just didn't answer. She never said that she did. And two, like if you're low key stupid enough to think somebody could lose 140 pounds in under a year diet and exercise. When they were struggling so much. Their whole life. And then,

one day just a switch is like a flip. The internet ain't for you. Like you're dumb. Like where's the personal accountability? And people always like, you're misleading your audience. Who are these dumb people? It's always like generic. What about the young people? Go talk to your parents. Like it's not Remy's fucking job. She's just trying to live her best, like healthiest life and get through it. You know? She's not a nutritionist. She's not your dietitian. Like if you were really like. And she said that at the beginning of the episode. She's like, before I dive in, she gave like a whole.

No, but like if you were really looking to Remy to like validate your life choices and like eat what Remy eats and do what Remy does, look in the mirror. Like that's not a healthy way to be on the internet. Agreed. It's not good internet behavior. Like we're just following people passively. Like we're here for a good time. Like we're not going to put that mistake in it. Agreed.

So congrats. Congrats to Remy. Very happy for her. Our next story, a little more influencer news, a bit of an update because Alex Earl says that she can't podcast for the foreseeable future. So Alex Earl did a little GRWM and she's ready with me.

for all of our Gen Xers. She said in the beginning, she said, I have to put a pause on podcasting right now for the foreseeable future. Don't really want to get into the details of it all. And I kind of can't get into the details of it all right now, but I've loved it so much. And I'm really proud of what I built with the podcast. Instead of dropping new episodes, she said that she's going to be pivoting to vlogging on YouTube. I'm laughing because this is like what we just said she should do. And I'm so glad like she listened. I don't know if it was like, I thought it was kind of obvious to people being like, Claudia, she heard your episode. I don't think so. I think like she came to the conclusion on her own because it's like,

kind of obvious. A logical conclusion. She said, I don't want to leave you, just leave you astray and not leave you with anything. I also think I would lose my mind. So good news is I'm going to be putting out weekly vlogs for this foreseeable future. She just dropped a vlog of like her family's spring break at Universal Studios. And next she's going to do Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The only thing that's confusing about this that maybe you can, um,

is she said, I kind of can't get into the details of it all right now. Right, so she said that like she's not podcasting anymore because she can't. And she can't tell us why. So it was giving like legal dispute battle unwell intellectual property. So of course, the comments are like, what did Alex Cooper do to you? So much so, I guess it must have been overwhelming because I feel like Alex Cooper does not respond to stuff. Like there's always things being said about like the show and network. And she kind of lets everyone speculate. It's like a good...

Strategy. Strategy. But she put up an Instagram story about this, which I was so shocked because she doesn't respond to anything. And it was basically like, guys, I'm seeing all your comments about like Alex not podcasting, just letting you know, like her inability to podcast has nothing to do with Unwell. Like we're settled. You know, I gave her IP. I learned from the best at stool president as she tagged Dave. I'm just being like, please excuse me from this narrative. So,

I don't know a reason why Alex would be unable to podcast. And that she can't get into the details of it all. If it has nothing to do with Unwell. I don't think it has anything to do with Unwell because we did hear that she got the IP weeks ago. And so they're set, they're goodbye. I guess like, I don't know if people, why they didn't just know that instead of bothering Alex Cooper about this. Yeah, but I think that it was the only logical thing

Reason, why else? That's what I'm asking. So I don't blame people for thinking it had to do with Unwell. I'm not gonna lie, I thought the same. You did? Yeah, even though we know it's been squared away for sure. Why else would someone be unable to podcast?

- I have to put a pause. - Maybe she had a non-compete. I don't know what I thought, but Alex is like, "No, this has nothing to do with me." - Maybe I'm not able because I don't want it. - I don't want to. Right, and I don't think she should podcast. I think it's a waste of her time and energy. - Even though she just did that episode with Bethany and it was really good. - Yeah, but that must have been before all the drama went down, pre-recorded perhaps. - I feel like it was that week of Carbone. - Bethany drama. Yeah, I don't know. But why would you put all this effort into a big podcast if you're gonna cancel the next week? - I don't know.

I think the situation is fluid, honestly. Yeah. But it could just be like, I can't podcast right now because I'm tired and my mental health is suffering and I can't do it. And I wanted to look up how it was performing. I watched it. I watched a little bit of it. The Bethany one? No, her new vlog. Like compared to Hot Mess. Universal Studios? Yeah.

Yeah, okay, so her personal YouTube channel, which is relatively new, has 125,000 subscribers. Hot Mess, which she was updating, you know, weekly, is at 270K. Now, I do believe she owns that channel, but she's posting her vlogs on Alex Earl Personal. And 14 hours ago, she put up this Earl Family Vacation, and it has 36,000 views. Okay. We'll see. We'll see. I do think that...

Her content. Because she said she's going to Ultra next week. I do think stuff like that would perform better. Than like spring break with your little siblings. Which is so cute. And I love it. But that's not what people know her for. It's like a fun fact about her. That she has this huge blended family. And her siblings are so cute. And she goes home to New Jersey. And they have like. You know. Cows and stuff. Um.

But I think in terms of like what people go to her for, it's like to see her get ready, party with her friends, do like cool makeup, cute outfits. So I think the ultra, because the vlog before this, which was two months ago, is Vegas Girls Trip and it has like 200,000 views. I think they should have a reality show. I know you want her to be a vlogger, but I just feel like someone should be following her with a camera. She shouldn't always be holding it. Working so hard and like editing it. Yeah. Yeah.

There are endless opportunities for Alex Earle. Yeah. I'm not worried about her. I'm not either. And I'm waiting on my Sint-Marx order to arrive. Right, right. Code Alex. Is that the code? I don't know. Code toast. Code toast. Okay. Are you ready for our next story?

Disney Snow White drama fiasco. I'm so over this movie. Okay, you were never not over it. I know, I was never going to see it, but let me tell you, I love that song. Oh, it's so while you work. By the way, why wouldn't I have seen it? I've seen every other live action. Snow White is not. It's a movie musical. It's made for me. And because I never got into Snow White growing up, this would have been my time. Right, it's not like a Disney fantasy story that I follow. I don't even know why.

"Why is she hanging out with dwarves? "I don't know the plot." - Yeah, so this, the fact that this is performing so poorly and that I have no interest in seeing it is actually crazy. It's Mark Platt, so he's wicked. - So I didn't know that. - I didn't know that either. - So Ben Platt is a nepo baby. It's like the bane of his existence. He's one of those nepo babies in denial. And I just wanna say, you're extremely talented and a nepo baby. We can hold space. - You can be both. - And his dad is this big time producer. He actually produced the "Dear Evan Hansen" movie.

And he's been in the news a lot recently. He was a producer on Wicked. And now I didn't realize he's a producer on Snow White. And I find it really interesting that he keeps doing these movie musicals and not casting his son. Either Ben Platt like really doesn't want to be connected to his dad and have like obvious nepo ties or like they have beef or something. One, he doesn't want to be. He's so like anti. He's a self-hating nepo baby. Yeah. Like he doesn't want to do anything that his dad is tied to. And two, his dad does like kind of commercial stuff.

cliche sort of my favorite kinds of things. And Ben Platt is so artsy. He probably looks down on this sort of like commercial, big budget blockbuster. He's like, no, I want to make no money. Yeah, totally. I want to make zero dollars. And I do feel like Ben Platt's other siblings, and we're going to talk about one of them today who's a part of this story, have recently been, um,

like they're not obviously the level of celebrity he's the most famous person in the family who's the other siblings his name's Henry I follow him on TikTok he's an amazing voice like really I never even heard of him I know so there's like a bunch of brothers and they're all sort of like up and coming now Jonah has a podcast that I see a lot um actually he's going on the good guys soon they were

recorded a couple of weeks ago. He's perfect for the good guys. I see his podcast a lot because it's all about being Jewish. And he also had Mark Platt on his podcast. Oh, did he? Yeah, because they were talking about, like, they were just talking about Judaism. So they're obviously close because also, so this big bombshell report about the Snow White fiasco came out in Variety. It's bombing at the box office. There's been rumors about Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, a lot of politics, the free

Palestine movement is involved. So they did like an official variety article on it. Yeah, like Gal Gadot has been getting death threats. She has like insane security paid for by Disney. Oh good. Over the course of like the filming. Well not that she's getting death threats, that Disney's paying for it. Oh yeah, over the course of like filming and post-production, Rachel Zegler has made a lot of comments that have rubbed like literally everyone the wrong way. About Gal, about the movie, about Disney, like about everything. About free Palestine, like Trump support, like everyone. Oh yeah.

Oh, yeah. I remember her Trump one. Her and Ethel Kane being like, I hope terrible things happen to all the people who are. Right. Right after the election. So, like, that's not good when you want people to come see your movie. Yeah, right. Especially, like, a commercial big Disney project. Like, you're supposed to be for everyone. You don't want to alienate more than half the country. That's just not a good move.

It's a really specific type of project and a specific type of like PR that you have to do for this type of blockbuster. Because these are movies that get played all over the country. It's not like an art film. It's not like a New York, LA thing. So you really need to be like, you're supposed to be a Disney princess. You're like of the people, you know? Yes. Think of the people who go to Disney and love Disney. It's everyone. Yeah. She also like was making fun of the plot early on saying like the movie's so dated, 1937. She's not going to be saved by the prince. He was like low-key stalking.

Like seriously painful quotes. It's like, why would you be in this movie that you hate so much? You don't have to take it. And I do think that the end of the live action film is like, you know, not. No, it is wokeified. Like it's like she saves them on. It's like a communist utopia. To be clear, there is a way to do it. Like I think that.

We make fun of it all the time, but the way Emma Watson did Belle in Beauty and the Beast, she didn't want to be like damsel in distress, Stockholm Syndrome. She technically falls in love with her captor, for sure. She technically falls in love with an animal. With an animal. So Emma Watson at the time. I just want to say, if Emma Watson could do that, who was like so radically feminist, if she could not only make Stockholm Syndrome with an animal work for her. Yeah, work.

this girl could make Snow White work for her. Yeah like at the time she contributed different things to the project that she wanted to like modernize it a little bit while you know keeping the integrity of the story intact and she's very like female focused and so I feel like the way she did it didn't

change the quality of the movie and didn't rub people the wrong way. Like I agree with her. Yeah. Hike up your dress because you're a mechanical woman. Like she like used the sheets to climb down the window. Cause she's so industrious. Like, okay, great. Yeah. And she was like, her dad was like the industrious one, but like he was dumb and she was smart. She like learned from him and like, you know, women can be a lot of things and she does her own laundry with her horse. And there was no drama.

Yeah, and there was no drama. So it can be done. So this is like drama abound. She's posted like over like years, like a lot of things on social media and said things in interviews that have rubbed everyone the wrong way. Then most recently, I think her and Gal were actually fine during filming. That's what I read. But then after they presented at the Oscars, Rachel Zegler said something about Gal, how like she's always a professional pageant queen, like just like something like nasty like that. And so now they're not speaking. They're not doing press together. They didn't even have like the red carpet interview.

There was no premiere. And then, so this report also said that after one of her many social media posts, one of her outbursts, Mark Platt flew from LA to New York to talk to her. They had to get like a social media consultant to work with her and vet all of like everything that she was going to post in the run up to this movie so that, you know, she wouldn't send away more fans. Right. So she had to have us talking to.

So someone commented on something about Jonah Platt saying, your dad flew to New York to reprimand a young actress. Any words on this? Because that's creepy as hell and uncalled for. And I just want to say- People have the right to free speech. No, shame on your father. Ugh, like go comment that on Mark Platt shit. Like that shit bothers me. Like leave Jonah alone, first of all. And I'm sure Jonah was ready. Oh, Jonah was ready.

I'm glad she commented on Jonah's. Me too. Jonah responded. We got an insight. We got window like Mark Platt. Like they don't fuck around. Jonah said, you really want to do this? Yeah. My dad, the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics and

into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for. This is called adult responsibility and accountability, and her actions clearly hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.

Not the blue collar workers. Not the cast and crew. And you know that was like read, edited, and approved by Mark himself. I actually don't think so because there was like kind of some grammar things that like weren't perfect. I think messaging wise. Like I don't think Jonah would like share things like feelings about this when it seems like him and his dad are really close. It seems like the whole family is really close. And I know Ben is hating this story. Oh, hating. Because...

Ben really toes the line. And I feel like when we were talking about October 7th, he was someone we were really disappointed in. Who's like somebody who's, I think I've told you guys, like, I don't like Glenn. Yeah. He's like openly Jewish. He loves like use Jewish stick on his like Instagram. And it's like a part of his personality. And then when like, you know, Jewish lives and futures are at stake, like he's nowhere to be found. He's putting out tail between his legs statements being like holding space for two. He literally said it in a serious way. Um, and because I think he really toes the line of like,

sure, I'm Jewish, whatever, but I want to be accepted in these artsy-fartsy circles. And it's a little, you know, I look down on it. I'm not going to lie, I do. Meanwhile, Jonah comes in, his family's clearly not like that. Like with the podcast, they're clearly not like that at all. They're clearly like very proud Jews. And

you just know this story is making him sick. Yeah, for sure. Not only it's like, no, the other brothers are getting attention too now. Is Jonah Platt straight? He is. He has a wife. Oh, I was going to say satchel. Yeah, no, I think he's married. I'm like almost 100% sure. Henry? What about Henry? I think he's gay. Okay. Is there any others? Let's say Jonah Platt siblings, first of all. Ben Henry, yeah. And Jonah Platt wife. Yeah, he's married. Cute.

To a girl named Courtney. She's so cute. Look at her. Oh, cute. Yeah. Valiano. Is that Italian? Yeah. Cute. Okay, yes. They've been married since 2016. They got, thanks Gemini, they got married at the Saddle Rock Ranch in Malibu. Oh, Pargy. She was a dancer on a series regular, Hit the Floor on VH1. And so you think you can dance. Go girl. Yeah. So the Snow White stuff is really a disaster. And I actually feel like Jonah Platt saying something now, like doesn't even matter because like the movie has bombed. It's over, yeah. It's over. Like what?

there's nothing he can say that's going to make it get better or worse. And then there's the whole dwarf thing too. Oh yeah. Well that's the whole movie in general, like really from top, like from the inception, like has just made people upset. Um,

But also it has like the lowest rating of any movie on IMDb. It's made like no money. The crazy thing is, is that like, I know nobody has seen it, but the people who have seen it said it's really good. No, I've seen the people who have seen it say it's really bad. There's, I've been seeing like clips of like some of the CGI of like Calcato like drinking some potion and then like running down the stairs. And it seriously looks like from the 80s. The criticism I heard is that like, you know, of course they have an original song as they always contribute. And sometimes the original songs are,

Really do blend in. You forget that it wasn't one of the original. Evermore. The one that they made is really not good. Waiting on a wish. Like it's really bad. How do you know all the music? I'm on TikTok. Like, like I know everything. Like it's actually, this is a boycott. That's hard for me. I want to see this movie.

I know. This is my favorite kind of movie. I know. Like, Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies. And to be clear, like, every time they do a Disney remake, they always modernize it a little bit. And people always push back. And there's, like, stupid drama about it. But it never really affects the overall. Like, years later, we're like, oh, that was amazing. And, like, it always just works itself out. Like, I feel like, what was the last one? Um...

little Ariel what's it called mermaid thank you like there was Johnny she's black she can't be she's a mermaid like so stupid you know the movie was amazing and everybody loved it everybody loved it like you like there's always like a kerfuffle but it's just like and I feel like that could have been what happened with the dwarves like but this is this is different yeah this is different because people are boycotting the actress and then of course people you know free palestinians are also boycotting Gal Gadot they won't see her they won't play her in countries because she's like nobody knows who

Who to boycott. Yeah. And I'm just not seeing it because like. I just like need to ask Gal like do you want me to see it? I want someone like to make me. No I just Gal doesn't want you to see it because the thing is if this movie fails which it does it really doesn't have anything to do with Gal it has to do with like the radical 20 year old Rachel. Rachel.

So, yeah, I feel like it flopping is no stain on her record, gal. Then what's next for Rachel Zegler? So she's really unique because she, they call her like Rachel Berry. Like she is fucking insufferable. Even before this, there was like a, I saw like a super cut of like all the annoying like things she's ever said. She's like in her bathroom being like, and I hope when my time comes, there are lines of people waiting for me. Like she's so horrible. But she's undeniably like,

She really is, I think, one of the most talented singers out in the Broadway theatrical space right now. So like there are real, she just got, she has an upcoming role. It's like a big one. What is it? Upcoming? Yeah, like they cast some musical and she's already in it. What is she doing next? Let me go to her IMDb. Rachel Zegler next movie. Come on, Gemini. No, I'm not seeing anything. It's hard to find anything. Oh, all credits, not...

What movie is Rachel Zegler starring in next? Oh, yeah, Gemini. Oh, yeah. It's not a movie. She's doing Evita, Eva Peron in the West End. You know, the Madonna song. Come on. Whatever. It's like a huge Broadway role. Okay, cool. That's good for her. Yeah, she's perfect for Broadway. The small screen. Yeah. Yeah.

And honestly, like, I feel like she was also in West Side Story, which I don't think. Well, then Ansel Elgort ruined that movie. She's kind of like a curse. She is. And she was also in Hunger Games prequel, which I just, I only learned recently that

And I think it did well. It came and went. But I didn't see it. The thing I saw about that movie was the Olivia Rodrigo song that she wrote for it. Like that was the biggest part. Yeah, no, she's not like a hit maker. Yeah. How many flops do you get before they're like, okay, you're out? I do think theater and music, like you're more often to flop than not. Do you know what I mean? Like it's a niche category. I don't know these big movies.

movies but these big ones big movies fail they take on so much money West Side Story was like Steven Spielberg right yeah you know I wouldn't say it flopped it was nominated for like Oscars and stuff commercially commercially it wasn't huge I agree are you ready for our next story our fourth story if it's our fourth story that's brought to you by sax.com per chance sax.com

Thank you, Slash Turt. Next story, some legal news. Kim Kardashian will testify in a trial for her $10 million Paris robbery. So Kim will testify against the Parisian underground gang accused of coordinating her infamous 2016 robbery, TMZ reported on Wednesday. She is set to travel to France in May to take the stand nearly 10 years after being bound and robbed at gunpoint. No, it's not 10 years. In her hotel room in Paris. What was that? Um...

security guard's name pascal i was actually just thinking about him maybe because i saw he was like a famous bodyguard he was like a famous and he did a lot of people mostly kim but like you just see him like pop up i mean he was no shango

He was no Shango. And that's what happens when you leave parties with Shango. I can't believe, like, we think the American judicial system is slow. Like, this is really crazy that the trial starts 10 years later. I know she, like, has to. But the fact that she has to go and testify when I'm sure this is, like, the worst. She does not want to go back physically, mentally to this place. But justice must be served. Horrible. 12 of the 17 suspects were ordered to trial in 2021. And then the trial was set four years later. Because it did take some time to, like, identify who the people were. Right. It was, like, a big gang, of course.

- Yeah. - Not just one person. - Right. - That was like such a crazy, that's one of the biggest, I would say like pop culture moments of the last. - That was so crazy. - That's like one of those things where like you remember where you were when you found out. - Yeah.

And every time she talks about it, like she, and she doesn't talk about it a lot. Except she did talk about it this season when she was talking about her like diamonds. Oh, and she was also just talking about the way that she responds to things like her calmness that like they always said was her superpower, which has turned into like a numbness to anything going on in her life. Because she just started therapy and the therapist was like, obviously one time in your life, like you-

you experienced something and you reacted calmly and that really worked out for you. Like, what do you think that that was? And so she was telling Chloe and she's like, so I'm trying to like think like from like, what was it? And Chloe's like, your robbery. You were calm and that worked well. And ever since then, you've been calm. And she was like, oh, oh yeah. And like, they were like literally like trying to figure it out. She also referenced it. What was it? Was it a Bonnie wedding? Just talking about how she used to like, after...

After Paris, she was like, I'm giving up all my material items. I don't want to wear jewelry anymore. They cut to that thing of her on Ellen being like, that stuff doesn't matter to me anymore. And then they cut to her in India, like, wearing $7 million worth of diamonds. But those were rented. No, they were rented, but also it's been 10 years. So yeah, 10 years ago, she didn't want to do that. People change. Like, you heal, hopefully, and maybe you can go back to enjoying some of the things that you used to. And I'm sure she does it all differently now than she did in the past. Oh my God, testifying? I...

Like in any case, like testifying sounds horrible, but like when you're the victim. - Yeah, and when it really seems like she's healed, 'cause it was like, so for a while right after she like didn't, she wasn't seen anywhere, didn't do anything. But then she even said like for years, like she didn't wanna leave the house. She didn't wanna have like, she had an anxiety about going out about people knowing where she was. Like it really plagued her. And I really feel like now it feels like such, so in the past, like I don't know how much it affects her day to day life.

I feel like less than ever. And so to now go back and relive it, like I do feel really bad for her. Yeah, I agree. So hopefully justice will be served. I also feel like it changed the way everyone, every public figure interacts on social media and just like with their fans and how much information they put out about themselves and their family. Like I feel like we were just having this conversation offline. Like when you can see, like you really don't know with like real celebrities who actually like are,

threats get made. Like you never know where they are at the time. We always are now finding out after. And I feel like when this thing happened to Kim, like everybody tightened that up even more with like how they're posting. They never post in real time. It was, so they leave the country before now. You know what I mean? Um, and I feel like a lot of it had to do with Kim. Yeah. Cause like not in any way to victim blame, but like they used her social media because she was sharing like what she was wearing, what the diamonds were, where they were from and where she was going. And she was like, I'm home now, you know, like posting in real time, um, kind of giving a map to, um,

Bad faith actors. Yeah. And so people really like don't do that. Agreed. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Little travel news. I'm so ready. I requested this story. United Airlines flight to China was forced to turn around after the pilot realized he forgot his passport. So a United Airlines flight from LA to China had to turn around two hours into its journey after the pilot forgot his passport. And thank God it was only two hours. Right.

Because I just want to say, we can joke, and Jackie made a hilarious joke. I was like, Ben's the pilot. Ben's the pilot. Ben as a pilot. And it's interesting that this doesn't happen more, right? Having said that...

I think the fact that they turned around is really crazy. Like it's literally not the past. Like everybody here has plans, paid money. And so yeah, if the pilot, because he's dumb, has to land and then turn around, like that's really not everybody's problem. Yeah. And then if it was a flight attendant, like if a passenger forgot their passport, would they turn around? But you can't even get on the plane without your passport as a passenger when you're flying international. Right, right, right. So I feel like,

That should go the same for pilots and crew members. And I feel like it does. Maybe just they forgot to check him and it was the same day he forgot his passport because otherwise this would happen more often. Yeah. Yeah.

I just feel, it feels unfair, honestly. If I'm a passenger, I'm so fucking annoyed. You spent four hours on a plane to go nowhere? He say he lands in China, and he just can't get off the plane. Well, you can be at the airport without a passport. They hold you at customs, you get a snack, you know? But they would send him home, and that's called the consequences of your actions. But no, now all 300 passengers have to suffer financially, emotionally, because you- Well, they got back, and a new crew took over-

To take them to their destination. So they didn't have to wait for him to go home and go get it. Okay, but still, it's an extra four hours on your ready long flight. I'm not saying it's nothing. I'm not saying it's nothing. Let me tell you, if that's me, I'm so fucking annoyed. Yeah, they were provided with meal vouchers and compensation. What, $11? Oh, did you see January Jones? I meant to send this a story. She's making news using her social media, complaining about, I believe it was United Airlines.

Because her pilot turned around because he forgot his passport? No, she had like some drama, like, you know, a delay. And they offered meal vouchers to everyone. And she took to her social media to be like, really, United Airlines? Meal voucher for... January Jones calls out airline for their response after a 16-hour flight delay. Do better. She says, do better. So on Sunday...

She shared a screenshot on her Instagram stories of a flight delay details that showed a 16 hour and 25 minute delay for her trip. And then alongside the image, she told United Airlines to do better. A couple $15 food vouchers ain't going to cut it. She added our 7 30 PM flight last night still hasn't left. Now she showed a followup image of her resting on the floor at the airport and

Now, if this is my friend from college, I'm with her. I'm like, yeah, fuck United Airlines. Yeah. But once again, another celebrity falling into the trope of using their social media to complain to customer service about usually an airline. It's never reading well for me. Well, I just, okay, being somewhere for 16 hours, like that's horrible. And I understand like you want to complain about it and you want to like tell everyone like what's going on with you. And I feel like she can still post this.

But the tagging of United and being upset about $15 food vouchers, like that's where you lose me. Like she could be like, oh my God, 16 hour travel place, worst day ever, get me home, I'm so mad. - Yeah, for sure, for sure. No, it's the complaining about the, and she, by the way, if she's just a regular passenger. - And she could even be like, ugh, at United.

Be okay with that. Yeah. But like, you're upset about $15 food vouchers. Imagine how the people who aren't on TV feel. Right. Right. Imagine how the poor passengers feel. This is like, she's so close to being safe that I'm not going to go so crazy. We didn't make up a story. Right, right, right. But like, stop it. Stop it right now. It's just also one of my least favorite things. Like they're,

whenever a celebrity complains, they're never wrong. Like if I'm a regular passenger, like that's annoying and it's wrong and the company should do better. But like you were on like the longest running, most successful TV show of all time. Like take a private plane. No. Or like you could go have a meal at a restaurant. Right. Yeah.

I just, I don't feel bad for you. Yeah. And then this is, you call them when you land and they give you like a thousand million miles. Correct. That's how it works. Don't forget to call when you land. That's how it works. Um, those were good stories. Thanks Jax. Oh, you're welcome. Yeah. I guess we're all done here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No summer house. No. It's feeling like this off.

No, I think it's like a Narafi, and it's regular. Okay. That's our show, you guys. Thank you so much for listening to the Chelsea Millennium Morning Show. We deliver the fastest stories on YouTube.
