Shownotes Transcript
It's the top. It's Jackson Claudius. It's your favorite show. The fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, happy Friday.
Happy Friday, Coach Della. What a day. I mean, first of all, let's just dive right in. Jackie O with the drop of the century yesterday. Excuse me, Jackie. You dropped this. Thanks, Couchers. Love, Jers.
Yes, I announced that I'm pregnant yesterday. It's such a crazy feeling to go from something being like the biggest secret in your life to then like the next day shouting it from the rooftops. It still feels wrong. It's just such a weird, like a weird transition. I'm like, why is everyone talking about this? Stop. We're not talking about it.
But no, it's actually been really nice that everyone is like so excited and it's getting me even more excited. And I'm happy that I can finally share and like just be real. You know, my pants are unzipped. So if you see a little something, if you see something, say nothing. Oh, if you see something, say nothing. How about that?
It's so great to have our big secret out in the open. And I say our, yes, this is about me too. Not only as an extremely involved and dedicated auntie, but also as a fellow pregnant sister, like Martin and sister.
We are preggers at the same time, which I think has been a dream of ours for so long. Right? Like, obviously I missed the boat the first couple of times, but I, when I say like, I could not have planned that timing of this pregnancy matter. Like, and then you got pregnant. Like, yeah, no, it's very exciting. And we were like, we've just been so excited to like, we have one week to be pregnant on the show together. I know. Which we're going to have so much fun next week. Next week is going to be so. Literally. Um,
um so it is a fun energy but like i was talking to shannon recently as one does and we were saying like i don't feel like and people like that so especially you're pregnant with claudia i'm like i don't feel like i'm pregnant with claudia like we are on just such different pages right now yeah like the stages that we're in could not be more different right it counts we got it technically we got it in yes we are but i'm just saying it really doesn't feel like what you would think
Yeah, no, we... So many people, like friends, have texted me that. I'm like, yeah, it's so nice. It's just, it's not... It doesn't feel that way. Except every time we talk, we are both in bed. No matter what time, makeup off, pajamas on, 2 p.m., we're having calls, we're taking our merch calls, we are both in the bed. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So on that, we're on the same page. But I do look forward...
To getting out of the bed soon and hopefully feeling better soon. That would be nice. Yeah, like – Having energy. Have you, like, bounced back from the first trimester? You're still kind of like – It's not – People – They make it seem like just one day it's over. It's a just slowly slow phase out of the first trimester that, like, you don't even realize you feel better because, like, you don't. No, weirdly, a few days this week I felt worse already.
Than I ever have. Like. Like. Racks of saltines. Like. I barely busted out the saltines. I like. Forget that. That's a good option. But like.
So unwell. So I don't know if it's like one last big hurrah before it starts to get better. But no, it hasn't happened yet. But, you know, every day I wake up like hopefully today's the day. Today's the day. But we'll see. I mean, the good news is that I feel my best in the mornings. That's when the world needs me the most. So I'm here for the thirst. But there were times like in the beginning when after we did the toast, like I seriously could have fallen asleep on this chair. Yeah.
You're telling me. I hear you. I don't feel entirely that way anymore, which is great. And just looking forward to like new and different feelings, you know, because it's always it's constantly evolving and it gets better in some ways, but then harder in other ways. And we've really been plugging our Patreon because, you know, in the next couple of months, while the toast is in a bit of like a flex mode, the Patreon will be booing so many of you. And if there was ever a reason to join maybe a little early before maternity leave, join now. Jackie dropped a bomb ass vlog, which featured, you know, not like me when I
was announcing my pregnancy, I'm like, okay, I'll do one video for the announce and then one video for the gender reveal and one video for this. And Jackie put it all in one video. You want sister's reactions? Check. You want gender reveal? Check. Like it's all in one. You want update? Like what, what about Sir Klaus? What about Jackie's cervical incompetence? Right. Um, it's all there. She didn't make you wait like I did. No, I like putting it all together. That's also cause I like how, that's how I like to receive stuff. Um, so,
So yes, the gender is there. I'm three for three on that. Like I'm always just like, I'm pregnant. Here's the gender. Even people were texting me like, what could you tell me? I'm like, yeah, here, there you go. Yeah, right. Oh, and will I say it right now? We're not going to say it right now. No, no, no. Patreon.com slash the toast. No, head to Patreon.com slash the toast. Patreon.com slash the toast until it slips out one day.
So it's a really good time to support women in media. Of course, the Patreon is always popping off today specifically. And then in the next couple of weeks, we've been batching some really great content. We're going to be doing our regular daily, not daily, weekly show during my maternity leave in July and August on Patreon. So it's never a bad time to spend $7.99. Highly recommend you signing up for Patreon on a computer. If you sign up on your phone in the Patreon app, Apple will charge you an extra $3, $4. Seriously, we don't say. So head to patreon.com on a computer. Also, we recorded...
a super fun Patreon episode yesterday that's going to go live in a few weeks. We have like some May dates where there's no Toast episodes, but there will be Patreon episodes. So just now's the time. I feel like you might have been on the fence. You might say, what is this Patreon? Never heard of her. Right. I've never been to this website. It's just patreon.com slash Toast. You literally just like click sign up and you enter a login and that's it. You have access to literally 300 episodes that we've done over the last seven years. I feel like it sounds more intimidating than it is, like a secret club. It's really not. It's just a website.
Yeah. And then you also get access to our Facebook group, which is just like an extra bonus. Some people spend the $7.99 a month just to get into the Facebook group. Yeah. That's also a little time. Which I respect. I don't want to like switch gears to tell you the thing that happened to me this morning unless you're like fully done, you know? I know.
I can be done because I left it all in the vlog. I look forward to updating you guys. It's your pre-Fast Five banter today. No, I know. But it's okay. I look forward to updating you guys as I have updates. So if you want to talk about something else, I can always bring it back to me if I feel the need. But if you want to talk about the thing that happened to you, I'll give you the floor. You're going to be interested in the thing that happened to me this morning. But before I do, I just had an idea. Okay.
When you come to New York, we have one week together being pregnant on the toast. Okay. I think we have to do a dual maternity shoot.
Oh my god. Because I'm kind of against it because I hate my body. But if we did dual, we honestly probably would end up looking like a lesbian couple who are both carrying babies. It's true. But I'm down. I'm seriously down. It's true. I actually, as much as I want you to do maternity photos and I would encourage it. Not that bad. Okay. Like I'm not interested. Okay. But I will send you on a mystery, what's it called? Bus ride. Bus ride.
We used to do those at camp. It was like the evening activities and mystery bus ride. It was usually the same three places, like the movies, bowling, or whatever. But I love the concept of a mystery bus ride. I did one for my 28th birthday. I took everybody to Chelsea Piers. They loved it. I'm going to send you on a mystery bus ride to a maternity shoot. Okay, but you have to be – the only way I'll do it is if you're also modeling. Maybe I'll jump into a photo like Annie in The Parent Trap. Maybe we could just ask AI to make it for us. That sounds frightening. Okay.
I like when it comes to photos, AI doesn't have the eye. They don't have the AI. Okay. So permission to just quickly tell you about what happened to me this morning. It better be good. I thought you said last night. It is. Okay. So Ben and I woke up super early this morning and it's a kind of a gross day outside. So we were just like making plans. You mean it's like...
Yeah, exactly. We were like planning dinner and he was like, do you have time to get breakfast before the toast? I'm like, yeah, it's always like a nice little treat, you know, especially I'm really trying to get in all my meals because once Bebe is here, like I'm not going to be eating the way that I've been eating. So I treated myself to pancakes. Yeah, right. Like seriously, you're going to be hungrier than ever and more deserving than ever.
Okay. Like diet doesn't start the day you give birth. I just hope you know that. No, no, no, no, no. But I will be making better and more different choices. Not like 100% back to the way I was, but like it's not going to be as balls to the wall. I think you should just like let go of that expectation. Oh, really? Yeah. Give yourself time. Like stop. You're so toxic. Okay, fine, fine. So we go to like the most random diner. Like seriously, I don't know why we ate at this place. Like it was honestly terrible. Like so random. We're in the middle of the most random diner.
We sit down. I'm in the seat that's like facing the restaurant so I can see everything. Ben's looking at like the bathroom. And I actually filmed Ben's reaction. I'm like, Ben, I'm about to tell you the craziest thing. I have to just film you while I tell you. I said, Ben, what if I told you that one of the Brunson boys is right behind you? Wait, his friend or Jalen Brunson? One of the members of the Brunson boys chat. Okay. He was like...
He was like, well, I wouldn't believe you. I'm like, well, turn around. Jack was right there. A fellow Brunson boy. It was actually unmasked. It was actually the weirdest thing, like to see someone, you know, like what time or was it like just a rent? Like if I told you, you wouldn't even know it. Like it was such a random hole in the wall. And she was a hole in the wall. Yeah, I'm not like I'm so chill. I mean, we just grabbed we just grab a slice and we go to grab the pancake.
Let me tell you, Ben, Ben was regretting ever asking me to be a chill, grab a size girl. It was one of the most disgusting meals we'd ever had. But to see a Brunson boy out in the wild, it truly feels actually like the world revolves. Do you feel like everybody's talking about the Brunson boys? I do. But did he say anything about the publication of the Brunson boys? Does he know? How did the Brunson boys feel about their newfound fame?
Of course they found out because we posted a clip about it. God forbid any of them ever like, you know, listen to my show and support me. But I'm sure like there's a wife that does. A girlfriend. Maybe, but that's not how they found out. They found out from the clip that we posted on the toast. They posted it in the chat and they were like giggling about it. They love it. Like they're famous. Even I call them weenies.
Yeah, but I don't think that part made the clip. No, no, it did. Oh, did it? It did, but maybe they didn't watch the whole thing. Yeah. They just were like, whoa, Brunson Boys. Global stage. Big things. Big things. And then we ran into a Brunson Boy this morning. The Brunson Boy doesn't even live near us. It was so crazy. The world revolves around the Brunson Boys. That's for sure. Yeah. That's for damn sure. And actually, I feel like everybody's talking about more so the Knicks because they're headed home tomorrow.
And if they win this game, which they very well could, the next game I think would be on Monday and it would be their chance to beat the Celtics completely. And it's also the same night that the Yankees and the Mets are playing each other at Yankee Stadium. But it's the first time. I guess one of these huge Yankees player, Juan Soto.
He last, this is a couple of months ago. He, before the season started, got traded to the Mets. So this is like his big homecoming. Like they say they're going to call, need to call in the National Guard for what's going to happen potentially in New York on Monday. Interesting. Yeah. We'll watch this space.
Yeah. You better like seriously hide your kids, hide your wife, lock your doors. I feel like we should go to one of the games. Maybe not you, but maybe me. Why? Because you literally said two days ago you don't want to go to anything. You don't want to go even if we're in a suite. Even if someone said they wouldn't talk to you, but they would give you a free ticket. No, but you're going. So like I have to go. Like if it's a fourth and potentially final game at MSG and I'm in town.
I should go with you and the Bruns. A thousand percent. Even though Ben said like the worst seats in the house are $2,000. Interesting. Well, that makes sense. But also we should get a suite like for the Brunson boys, like sponsored. Oh my God. That's actually so crazy that you said that because this morning I was thinking about how much we've monetized the Brunson boys. Sponsored by, honestly, W should sponsor the Brunson boys. Jake Paul should sponsor a suite for us to bring the Brunson boys and give them like the night of their lives. Like kind of like make a wish.
Literally. W, Jake Paul's brand. Get in touch. We have plans. Or Manscaped. Let's think of like the male brands that we work with that, you know, would like to work with us. We'll like pick them up in a limo. Like we'll make it like a really. Mystery bus ride. Yes. Oh my God. Like we'll make it like a really special night for the B, the B squared. Yeah.
Love that. Oh my God. That would be so cute. If any brand doesn't have to be male centric. Of course not. It could be free partnership idea. Could be quince. I really want, I really want it to be W honestly. Yeah. But if you want to have an amazingly viral moment, really get your brand out there. Maybe Jake Paul's betting app. He has like a sports betting app better. Maybe prime takes us. Sure. I have the prime hookup.
I'm non-denominational. Like, I'll go with any brand. Yeah. I also have the Feastables hookup. And then TikTok would love us because anytime there's, like, a brand trip, people are like, you should bring real people, like nurses. Okay. Like, these guys, like, one of them's a lawyer. Like, they're regular people. Like, let's see if anybody cares about a brand trip of civilians. We're doing it. That is so funny.
I'm so tired of that rhetoric. Like I'm so tired of brands gifting influencers free product. Like give it to the regular girl. Okay. And who does that help besides the regular girl? Like it doesn't help the brand. Like I'm just so over it. That's just not how the world works. Like, yeah, it would be nice if all of the, it would be nice if hunger was solved. Like, but it's not. Yeah. And I'm sure brands do donate a lot of product just because like they would otherwise throw it away. Like I think they just like happen to also donate.
And I feel like every time they these days, every time they do gifts, they also do like a donation component, you know, just to like offset. Right. Their carbon footprint that it's just never enough.
So sorry for like quickly, let's put the tracks back to you. Like that's my story. I saw Bronson Boy in the wild this morning. Back to you. How are you feeling? Back to me. I'm good. I'm excited. I've got a lot coming up. We have a very busy month together, like very exciting things, work things, personal. So it's just, it's a busy time, you know? It is. It's a great time to be a toaster. Like so much happening in the toasty world. We have so many fabulous guests and guest co-hosts booked.
for maternity leave. Like I literally were booked up and it's still coming in. People want to get in and like we can't. So I'm like, we can't accommodate. I'm trying to move things around but like seats taken. Seats taken.
Oh my God. There is a bar by one of our doctor's office. It's called Seekin. No, but the way you said it reminded me. It's called Shaken Not Stirred. That's just the name of the bar. No, but the logo, the A in shaken is a martini glass, which looks more like a Y than an A. Me and Ben walked past it. We're like, shaken. Hey,
I can't with you. It's such a bad logo. Like, I like the concept of using the martini as a Y. So you needed a different name for your bar, something that had a Y. You know, an A is shiken. It pisses me off. No. Every time we like drive up, we're like, shiken? But a martini glass does look like a Y.
Yeah, and they're having it be an A. Oh, you're right. Sorry. Sorry. Shiken. I just froze your point. Thank you. Yeah. No, it's a cute concept if your bar was called like Barry's. I don't know. Don't ask me why that came to mind. But like with a little martini at the end. Yeah. Yeah. Or like Brunson Boys with the martini. Love. We need to get them to meet Jalen Brunson.
Okay, so you know Jalen Brunson is like kind of Jewish. His wife is like a big Jew. Is she a toaster? I'm pretty sure. Ben like knows her. I'm sorry. She's been listening to all of this and she hasn't reached out. So maybe she has. I haven't. Like Ben is like tight with her. Oh, right. We wouldn't know.
We don't know. We never check her messages. And I'm sure she's like super busy. It's like a very like high stress time for her. Right. You know, that's when she would want a reprieve. Like, yeah, let me just call it my girls. Yeah. Let me just call it the swirlies. A little bit of lols. So there is like a yeshivish connection to Brunson as well, which is nice. Oh, OK. We'll definitely explore this further.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And feel free brands just to reach out directly. We'll check our messages. We promise. We will. Yeah. But if you're like a high level brand, like you know how to reach us. Get in touch. We work with brands every day. Have your people call our people. We work with brands every day. Call Michael Bostic.
Oh, if anything was going to give away the fact that I was pregnant. Oh, it's Bruno's energy. The fact that Bruno has not left my side on the show for the last few weeks, whereas he used to never come on the show. So because I've seen people being like, I knew Jackie didn't go on any rides at Disneyland. Like she doesn't go on rides at Disneyland even before she got pregnant. So that was not like a tell.
But I haven't seen anyone say anything about Bruno. So many people sent me their texts with their friends from like the day I went to Disney or whatever. Like, I think Jackie's pregnant. Like, she didn't go on the rides and she's not eating the food. I will never. I'm not a rides person. You guys, Jackie won't even scroll on her phone in the car. That's how nauseous she gets. That's like a ride. If you're looking for Jackie and she's in a long car ride, you cannot find her. No, and I was like so early. Like, nothing that happened at Disney like happened because I was pregnant. Like,
I'm sorry to tell you like you didn't crack the case. But then there were like other things. I forget what people said that was like a giveaway. But I also felt like I wasn't I was too tired to try and hide it.
Being in your first trimester is so hard because you so desperately want to hide it, but you also cannot care. Yeah. Like the fact that you got up that day is a miracle. Right. So just was doing my best. But yeah, that one was not a tell. It would have been the exact same. Yeah. Pregnant or not pregnant. Pregnant or not pregnant. But Bruno has been the ultimate tell and nobody even said that. Nobody said I knew it when Bruno would not leave your side. Nobody said that either. But you know that he's a doula.
Yeah, Brula. Brula. Brula the doula. Brula the doula. So yes, that's how you know. Look at him.
You know, it's Friday, which means Queenie and Weenie, which I'm really excited about. I've had mine for a couple of days. They haven't changed, which is exciting. So if it's okay with you, I'm fine to dive in. Yeah, I'm fine. We've got a lot to do like today at a glance, not even on the show, like just in general. So might as well hop to it. Without further ado, it is time for the best five stories that you need to know. And the
And the Fast Five stories that you do need to know is brought to you by Hulu and the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So the wait for more episodes of our absolute favorite show of last year. Jackie and I actually both ranked it when we did our year recap. Was it both our number one shows of the year last year? Remember we did our end of year recap? It was like one and two. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
The wait is almost over. It's coming back to Hulu with an all new season on May 15th. That's actually really soon. That's literally Wednesday. So we'll finally get to find out what's going on with our favorite saints and sinners. Are Taylor and Dakota still together? Hopefully not. Are Jen and Zach still dealing with the aftermath of their trip to Vegas? I think so. Will Whitney be let back into the group after her actions last season? I'm also hoping not. Plus, Demi and Jesse are fighting about all three things.
Well, I'm just saying I'm hoping Demi and Jesse are finding themselves in quite a bit of drama. Layla has a shocking discovery and Miranda's arrival to the group to clear up the swinging scandal finally is happening. Yeah, she's new and she's like a part of if you were there like on MomTalk at the time. She's a major player. OK, so this is kind of this is not to sound corny, but I don't know if MomTalk can survive this.
Yeah, once again. So find out if MomTalk is going to survive this on May 15th. So don't miss the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives coming to Hulu on May 15th. I cannot wait. That's such a good show to have like in my back pocket while I'm just like waiting around. Maybe I'll watch it in the hospital. Cannot wait. That's May 15th. Today's episode is also brought to you by TruFru. So very excited that Jackie and I are –
Working with True Fruit, I actually was just watching an Instagram story set of ours where we were laying in your bed trying to get our husbands to answer their phones because we wanted them to bring us True Fruit. Do you remember that? And they like wouldn't answer. We were like screaming from your bed. That is so funny. No, but that sounds about right.
We are true fruit loyalists. Jackie put them on to me, added to the list. And starting on May 4th, Target now has all the true fruit flavors in their freezer aisle. So the girlies in the true fruit office are all toasters. They knew how toasty, you know, we are when it comes to true fruit and how all the swirlies are shopping at Target these days. And so make sure to stock up on your true fruit. So starting this month, all the flavors will be available in the freezer aisle at Target.
I think a lot of times people can't find the flavors that they want at certain stores. And now that Target has all of them, it's just kind of huge. If you don't know what Trufer is, they take perfectly ripe fruit, they coat it in insanely good dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and then flash freeze it to lock in all the goodness. It's different because it has no artificial flavors and no weird stuff. It's just real fruit, chocolate, and magic. It's kind of one
of the go-to snacks that I have when I'm being good on my diet and when I'm being bad. Because like it fits in both categories. It's so delicious. I eat it like really 24-7, 365. You can find all the flavors of TruFruit in the Target freezer aisle. It's a perfect post-ditter treat. Midday pick-me-up. It's really – it's the sweet treat before bed. Like to me, that's when TruFruit – I like to take like a big handful and put it in like a cup and then just sort of like – Well, you can't let them melt in your hand. Right. Spend the night doing that. So –
Once you try TruFru, you will wonder how fruit ever existed without chocolate. Grab your friends or anyone you love, head to Target freezer aisle to try all the flavors of TruFru or your online grocery shoppers can buy TruFru at Target.com.

Super thoughtful. Yeah, that's me. Our first story, they have elected a new pope. Major. I feel like we literally manifested this when we were talking about the pope.
Who passed. And then we were talking about like you know the process of the conclave. We were wondering had there ever been an American. There hadn't. And we were like I just feel like we put this out into the universe. I didn't even know it was a possibility until we talked about it. Yeah but maybe it's also just like America's time. You know because we have been a country for decades.
250 years is that where we're at right now I think we're considered young right compared to like young and like the pope has been happening for like a thousand years so like right yeah that's why three quarters of it they're gonna take from this rando new country but I think now we're pretty established
And we're like kind of a major superpower, I would say. Yeah. So it was bound to happen. Cardinal Robert Prevost announces that Pope Leo XIV, he will make history, not herstory, let's just be clear, as the first American pope. So Pope Leo comes out of Chicago. That's his chosen name, his sort of...
His stage name, if you will. I would love to know why, you know, but... Leo must be like one of his favorite saints or like a story, you know, like... Yeah, no, I'm sure there's a story behind it, especially if he's the 14th one. That means there were 13 prior that he obviously looked up to. Pope Rob would have been cute. And I don't know if it's just because he's American and it feels familiar, but like his face, like, I feel like I know this guy, you know, like...
Yeah, but I will say over the course of the conclave and this process since Pope Francis passed, Rip, I've kind of like fallen for a couple different popes or cardinals along the way.
The one from Jerusalem. The one from Jerusalem. Pizza, pizza. Yeah. I was rooting for him. We were all rooting for you. I was rooting for him too. And he was actually like, he wasn't a rando. Like he had lots of fans. That's a strong choice. He was a legit contender. Yeah. So I'm kind of like bummed for the people I was rooting for. There were a couple that I met along the way that I was like, you seem like you've got what it takes, the elk of a pope.
Instead, we got Pope Robert, which I didn't know him before, but I'm, of course, a proud American. And you're happy to see one of your countrymen up there in the highest honor. Doing his thing for the papacy. Yeah. So I think it's very exciting. I also feel like the entire process start to finish was quite swift. Yeah.
So this was a short one. Usually like I don't know how many times in the past, but every day or I don't know how frequently they vote. And if they don't reach a consensus, they send out black smoke. So usually there's like a couple of black. Yeah, there was just one. And then the second one was white smoke, meaning they've elected a new pop. Who do you think? Did you see Harry Styles at the Vatican? That's what I was going to say next. But who do you think was like the second one who like there was black smoke that day because it was between the two?
Oh I don't know runner up And what does he do now Like that was his chance Yeah This pope is 69 years Young So I think there could be a big future For him
I'm glad. No, this is really a huge day for America. I don't know like the real intricacies politically. Like I've seen discourse being like, oh, he's too progressive. He's too conservative, which honestly people are saying both. Sounds like he's pretty like standard right down the middle. Yeah. So I'm not going to claim to know like what the whole vibe is, but happy to be represented in the Vatican as an American. What was Harry Styles doing there? Yeah. So there's a picture going viral of what appears to be Harry Styles like in the crowd at
As a nobody. Like not with security. He's just like wearing a baseball hat. So I don't think it's him. Oh, because also people forget Harry Styles is Jewish. He's like part Jewish. But maybe he was like in Rome for work or whatever. And this is a major historical moment. So you wade over to the Vatican to see what happens. Yeah, but you're not going like you're not fleeing your country to go to Rome during a conclave unless you're Catholic. But if you're already there, sure.
does sort of look like a random Roman man. Oh, you don't think? Let me study the photo. Hold on. I'm looking at this page six article. The only thing that is that he's wearing a coat that looks very similar to a coat he wore out and about in London last month. So that's actually like pretty. Jackie, it is 100 percent, Harry. Like, I don't even know what you're talking about. I don't know. I feel like anyone could look like that. Like of all the global citizens of the world.
Wait, why is nobody talking about the hat? Techno is my boyfriend. Right. That's kind of a Taylor Swift reference. Is it? Karma is my boyfriend. Oh, no. That's like an. No. Everything is my boyfriend. Techno. OK. OK. I mean, it's. How did this. How is there only one photo? I think he really blended. The papacy. Yeah. I don't know. I need more. I think it's him. I need like sunglass confirmation or like confirmation that he has that hat.
Or that he's currently rocking a big old mustache. Yeah, mustache. Or that he's in Rome. Or that he's particularly interested in the Babazine. Well, I think that he could be interested in just history. Mm-hmm.
I'd walk over there if I were in Rome. 1000%. Even though I was in Rome and like everybody was doing a tour of the Vatican and I was like, you know what guys, I'm good. Not on the day they elected a new Pope. No, no. Oh, but if I was in Rome the day they elected. Right. That's what I'm saying. You would not be able to stop me. They've elected a new Pope. Right. Yeah. If I were in Rome, I don't know if I would visit the Vatican depending on the schedule. On the day they elected a new Pope.
You got your ass there. I feel like I need to rewatch Eurovision now that I know so much about the papacy and Conclave. Because I feel like the whole scene where they accidentally light this chimney on fire, like, would probably hit harder. Yeah. You should. Yeah. Rewatch it. Weekend Project. Don't work too hard, Claude. Don't work too hard. I seriously work way too fucking hard. Are you ready for our next story? Someone else is working hard.
Hoda Kotb is on the list to take over Kelly Clarkson's talk show after her Today Show exit. OK, I just want to say like this is a hard story for me because I'm holding space for my two queens. But I don't like that we're having these types of conversations like about Kelly. Like it's like it's about even cold yet. She's she hasn't announced like anything. We don't know that she's not, in fact, coming back. We don't know. And like, why are we saying stories like this? Like, calm down. Well, maybe it's because it's real.
No, I'm just saying like I don't like it. I kind of like it. I don't know why. Like the show has been amazing for Kelly. If she did it forever, I would be cheering her on. But I'm also like ready for what's next for her. You can't like keep her in a box. You can't keep her down. And like I don't know. It holds her back as a pop star. Yeah, I could see her having like a cooking show one day or like a whole like I don't know. I just feel like maybe she's ready for it. And you know, I like change. So I just feel like maybe she's ready for what's next.
I don't disagree that it puts her in a box. And I think when it comes to like...
It's such a big national platform. But I think that she didn't tour Chemistry, the album. And I think maybe the album suffered a little bit because her priority is this daily show. I just think before we start filling her shoes, let's give her the courtesy of announcing first. Yeah, well, they're saying Hoda's being considered as a potential candidate to replace Kelly amid rumors that the singer is exiting her show. Well, I love it. Hoda is perfect. Yeah, and we also said, what's Hoda going to do next?
This would be like a major step up for her to have her own show. Although it does give the Meredith Vieira show. They just remind me of like America's Sweetheart. So I think she was also the Today Show, Meredith. And that was kind of a flop. So it's like daytime is such a tough thing to crack because this is like obviously Hoda is going to be successful. It's going to be the biggest show. But I could also see it like not working because you never know what's going to work in daytime. Yeah, it's true. And yeah.
I could see. I could see. I don't know. I think Kelly Clarkson's like celebrity aspect was also. But Hoda has a lot of celebrity friends. But I don't know. Like Kelly Yoki. She just had like a little bit more than the average. She's very dynamic. Yeah. She's not just a talker. She's a singer. And so it added. I actually think like the Kelly Yoki and the singing elements is what brought a lot of people to the show. Not Kelly's, you know, keen interviewing skills. Yeah. Yeah.
So we shall see. But I think this like is a good they're trending in the right direction. And it would have to be like if Hoda wants to do it because we don't really know why she left today's show. Yeah, there were rumors that they just like weren't paying her like in her contract negotiations like what she wanted and enough for her to stay. Yeah. But you don't just give up like a beloved talent like that unless it's her decision. I think it was her decision. That's what Page Six is saying that like NBC never wanted Hoda to leave. The question is, will she want to do it?
Yeah, well, Hoda also talks a lot about how she became a mom later in life and like these years are really important to her. Yeah, but the hour that Kelly Clarkson show films, like maybe they're in school. No, it's much more mother friendly. And I also think you can batch episodes. Yeah.
When you're like a live correspondent, you're at the helm of the network. And in the morning, like you're out of the house before they leave and you're back. Before they wake up. Yeah. You don't even see them in the morning. Like that's really tough. Yeah, I agree. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Lea Michele is making news. She went on Therapist, as we talked about yesterday, and she admits to a fractured relationship with her Glee cast after Cory Monteith's death. Yes.
So I feel like this was the first interview I've ever seen. Leah Michelle, like actually let her guard down in, you know, like she just seemed very, she always seems very, very Rachel Berry, right? Like putting on a front and very concerned about her image and not that she's lying or anything, but just that, you know, you're being really careful. And this just felt very relaxed. I felt like for the first time she was like talking about things like in an honest, actual way. Yeah. But there's no point on going on a podcast and,
Agreed. You could give an interview to like something random or a magazine and like keep your walls up and ask these specific questions. But if you're going to go on a podcast, like there's no point in doing it if you're not going to like open up. And especially if you could choose wherever you go. And so she chose to do Jake Shane. Like she obviously felt safe and is like, I'm going to talk about things that I haven't talked about. And I think she must feel incredibly misunderstood because she's just like, God, it's such a bad rap at this point. I do feel like she's misunderstood. That's a good way of putting it. Yeah. So it's like,
You know what? I'm going to give it a shot to like let you guys know who I am. Yeah. And see if it works. See if it works. I think so far it is. So this is what she had to say. She admitted that Cory Monteith's death in 2013 led to her having a fractured relationship with her fellow cast members.
He had asked whether the co-stars banded together in a tight-knit way after the tragedy, and she quickly replied no. She said, I think in some ways it did for certain people, but I think that for me it was so hard I just completely broke. I was really in a one-track mind of just doing my job. It was way too much to process at a young age, but I'm very grateful for everyone there. Whether or not they know it, I personally felt a lot of support from everybody in the building helping me to get through.
She expressed gratitude to the crew members for helping her get through too. But she also said she was having such a hard time because she felt like she wasn't allowed to stop and had to keep going. Because like if she, she said, if we didn't show up for work, then people wouldn't have work to go to. That was a lot of pressure for me. I had to put my stuff aside and show up so that everybody could just continue to work.
Yeah, I don't know if I would have assumed that after Cory Monteith's death, like everybody got super close. Like the cast was already like kind of dramatic and fractured. And that's just like in an ideal world. Like, yes, we all lean on each other. We love and peace and let's sing a song. But it's like not how people deal with stuff. And I think a lot of times people just like sort of close in on themselves and want to be alone. And that's clearly how Lea Michele dealt with it and just like.
went to work and also when work is so triggering like some people throw themselves into work right but work is where you were with your fiancee on the show do a whole episode like singing about him that's really hard and she said a lot of like the ogs weren't there anymore because they had like graduated by that point so it wasn't like the the room the people who grew up with cory yeah it was a little bit more splintered and that just must have been a really hard time and so i she doesn't address like it
On their face. Like the mean girl accusation rumors. But I can imagine how someone who's like going through this. And feeling very like isolated. And stressed. Could come off as like a mean person. No but also if she was mean before that. Which I'm sure she was. Like divalicious energy. And then she goes through this big thing. And everybody's like getting together. To like you know lean on each other. And she's not getting involved. It's like well she's such a mean girl. So it didn't help. Yeah. Yeah.
But I'm sure she was mean before that. Like, oh, for sure. I mean, she's like so talented. I do think she was like very Rachel Berry. I'm sure she's very different now. And she's like been through a lot of different stuff. Getting canceled really humbles you. Becoming a mom really like humanizes you. Where are you passing away? She's definitely not even close to like the monster that she was. But you have to like think she was like kind of plucked from obscurity. I know she had success on Broadway, but like nobody knew her on in a global sense.
and she just became this fucking star and she was young and she knew how talented she was and she became a monster 1000 like literally rachel berry like very motivated very driven very sure of herself because she's one track mind incredibly talented yeah and she's young like she was definitely like 1000 like a nasty bitch i could see it yeah
But even a nasty bitch deserves a second chance, Coach, don't you think? 1,000%. 1,000%. Yeah. So I think this will be good for her. Let me know how the streets, what the streets are saying. The streets are just like, no one's talking about this moment. They're talking about her talking about the... The reading. Rumors about her literacy. Yes. Which, you know, better late than never, her finally like getting in on the joke. Yeah.
And this is just something like whenever the internet talks about it, like you're guaranteed to make waves and have people care. I'm over it. Like,
I've been knowing about the conspiracy theory since the day it started. I've been following it since the beginning. And I'm just like, I don't think it's so funny anymore. Do you think that maybe she waited so long to talk about it so that she could learn how to read over the last few years? And then she wouldn't be lying. And then she came out and she read public. And it's like, of course I know how to read. How silly are all of you? But the truth was that four years ago, she didn't know how. And that's why she didn't do it. That's why she didn't do a live reading. Right. And so she's not technically lying now by saying she knows how to read. Right.
But she's not saying that she didn't know how to read back then. I'm just saying it like it kind of took a long time for her to come forward with this. And in that time, she could have learned how to read. Yes. I think it took her so long because she's like so stubborn and like thought it was so stupid and beneath her to even address. Yes.
But that's a good theory too. I like yours. Yeah. Not saying that that's the case. I'm just saying she's leaving a little bit of space for the conspiracy theorists to still be right because it's like, no, when we said it, you couldn't read. Do you feel like learning to read as an adult is like, ow, oh my God, big kick. Sorry. Um,
Do you feel like learning to read as an adult is like a really hard thing to do? I don't know because it's like kids do it. So wouldn't that mean that we can do it in like one day? Yeah, but like we do it as our brains are developing. So it becomes a part. Like I don't know. I don't know what it's like to learn how to read later in life. But I actually feel like it would be kind of challenging. Yeah, but is it easier than when you're a child? But it's also about like learning new languages. They say it's easier to learn a new language when you're younger versus when you're older. Right.
However, I don't know something about it. It's like, well, your brain's bigger now. Can she do it? Yeah, right. But it's also harder to learn. Like, I feel like if I had to learn how to swim now, I wouldn't do it. Well, that's also a mental thing. Like I wouldn't be able to. Fear. The fear. Yeah. Like. Yeah. When you're fearless, it's easier to learn how to do stuff like driving. Right. And then it becomes just like innate to you. And then by the time you realize like the thing you're doing, you're like, oh, I can do this in my sleep.
I would love to know what it's like to learn how to read today. Ask Leah. Hello. Hello. Are you ready for our next story? Our fourth story? Yeah.
Interesting new Lemmy ad starring Kourtney Kardashian and Julia Fox. Julia strips down in a bathtub for a tantalizing new Kardashian ad. So Julia Fox slipped into a bubble bath for a sultry new ad to promote a mysterious new product from Kourtney's Lemmy brand. The video was released yesterday. Julia is examining a purple bottle as she is soaking in the tub. She's then on the phone with Kourtney saying, Kourt, are you seducing me?
And then court said no. They don't say what like the launch is. She said no. You will love it. It's our new cut. Blank. But like okay. Curious what the launch is. I'm sure it's like something to do with like sexual wellness. More interested in the fact that the family is bringing in Julia Fox. Yeah. It's not that crazy given like what they've done historically. Right? Like the Blac Chyna of it all. You know? This is like an incestual type of family. And they like are
It's not like this is Bianca Sensori, right? Like they're technically on the same side. Like they're both just like exes of this freak. No, I don't know. I feel like they... I mean, I don't know what this means, but if I would have thought... If you asked me about this yesterday, I would think that the family really wouldn't like her because she literally only got famous because of him. And it's just like a weird... Yeah, but I feel like they don't... I feel like they would respect that. Like that's kind of their formula. Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know if they would be bothered by that. But Julia, like to me, is like very non-threatening and kind of harmless to the Kardashians. Maybe there was a time where she wasn't, but she's definitely been. She is, but I just feel like they would like, I don't know, just not be about it. Look down? Yeah, like at the ick. But I obviously, I'm wrong because they're working together, but I'm just like, I'm shocked by this. Or maybe they do feel that way, but like marketing is marketing. And look, we're talking about a new Let Me Drop. Have we ever done that?
all the time we have yeah i guess i don't know but like it's not like a shock marketer like like i i still don't think they would bring in someone who they hate they hate a lot of people they would know by this is 100 like simon huck's idea you're right courtney doesn't think like this yeah so maybe courtney doesn't even know who she is no they obviously filmed it separately because they're in two different sets so they said courtney here's your script we got a model on the other end literally
I do feel like I need to know more. I could see this being a storyline on Kardashians because it's just like a promotion for one of their businesses and talking about like innocuous drama. Like it's kind of the perfect thing that they would talk about on the show.
And you know what? It's kind of following the Skims model where Skims obviously does all these different like model partnerships. And a lot of times we're like always talking about like the celebrity dynamics of it all. Like when Lana Del Rey or Brittany Mahomes or Sabrina Carpenter did. Like we're always talking about like what does this mean for like the behind the scenes? And so maybe this is just Lemmy's take on that because it is a really smart way. We're always talking about it. Like why would we be talking about some random company's new drop?
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's just so out of the box to me. It is, but that's what the Kardashians do. Like, they care most about their bottom line. Not really Kourtney. No, but also, like, when you say Sabrina or Lana Del Rey, like, those are all big figures. And yeah, that makes sense. You want to get a big name for your brand. Like, to go into...
The drama pool. And take someone out. Your own drama pool. Your own drama pool. That's different. I know. It's just so much has happened since then. Like I don't even remember. It would be like him doing a campaign with Blac Chyna at this point. Yeah. Which is within the realm of things the Kardashians would do. Or like Amber Rose.
In the realm of things the Kardashians would do. But there's the realm of things Kim would do and the realm of things Kourtney would do. This is definitely, I feel like Kim and Kourtney are maybe getting close because this feels like Kim rubbing up on Kourtney. Or they're fighting and she's getting back at her by putting Julia Fox in the know. No way. She had Kim's approval. I'm just saying. I don't think Kim thinks of or loses sleep or thinks anything of Julia Fox, honestly. Maybe there was a time. Me neither. I just need more information. And then I also want to know what the...
Product is. What the product is because she has like a sexual wellness one already. Yeah, she already has like a vagina one. Yeah. She has like two. So maybe it'll make more sense to us when we know what the product is. Yeah, maybe it's like Fox tablets.
Yeah. You know, there's like Lion's Mane. That's like a thing. Fox Mane. Unless it's Fox Mane. I have so many more questions. But if it's Fox Mane, I would say, oh, that makes sense, Julia Fox. Well, hopefully all will be revealed. I need to know more. Just saying. Or like we need to get the tea. Text Simon. Honestly, yeah. I'm like, can I just spoil the lodge for Julia Fox? Like for you and I. I just like I'm very curious now.

a brand that could not represent me or the era that I'm in more. So you might know Rocket Money because we've been talking about them a lot recently.

Our fifth and final story, a Yellowstone spinoff with Luke Grimes, a.k.a. Casey. Oh, please. Like, I seriously have had enough. Is ordered at CBS. The new Yellowstone series centered on Casey Dutton has been greenlit at CBS. Variety has learned the project was first reported to be in the works at the network in March. CBS has given the show a 13 episode order with plans to begin shooting this summer to launch at midseason 2026 on Sunday nights. OK, like seriously added to the list of countdowns.
The news was revealed. Yeah, no, I just feel like being a hater, like, this is a good idea. I just feel like being a hater. I'm always, like, open to a Yellowstone spinoff because the original show was so pargy, but, like, Casey is so goddamn annoying. Like, pick a worst fucking family to follow. I hate him and his wife, and that kid is annoying as hell. Like, Casey himself, like, seriously, like, weedy.
I don't care. And it's like, we're following someone. We're following someone from the original show and it's not Beth and Rip. Get the fuck out of here. Until there's a Beth and Rip spinoff, like we don't want other spinoffs. If you give us Beth and Rip spinoff, we might be open to your other spinoffs. But while that's just sort of hanging in the balance is the thing that we actually want. I don't want this.
There are also so many things hanging in the balance when it comes to Yellowstones. Like... Triple sixes. Right. Triple six. Matthew McConaughey, remember? Like, all these different things. Like, fuck off. Like, seriously, leave us alone. They're starting to annoy me. It's giving Game of Thrones, like, this big, amazing show. They had all these big ideas for spinoffs and prequels and shmequels and leakwels. And I, like, I don't care anymore. Yeah, I agree. But, you know, it's like the Game of Thrones universe. Like, they're not just going to, like, let this big...
Chunky thing go profitable nugget that has so many fans go. So we're going to try and make it work. And they've done some good stuff with like 1923. People really like that. I mean, yeah, but like CBS. Well, that's crazy because the show is on Paramount and like CBS is like the the big company of power now. Viacom. Yeah. But like.
Name one show that gets watched on CBS. Okay, I think Big Brother or whatever. CBS News. You know what I mean? It's so random. CBS Today. Okay, let's say you want to stream something that was on CBS. Where do you go? Paramount+.
Got it. Okay. So like just stick with Paramount. Yeah. Paramount. Just stick with Paramount. Nickelodeon. Viacom. Viacom. They're a weird family. Yeah, they are. Like it's kind of like this like misfit toys. Like you'll never be Disney Hulu. ESPN. NBC. Bravo. You'll never be it. Peacock. Yeah. No, like the different conglomerates like have different energy. Like NBC has a lot of swirly energy, right? They have Peacock. They have Bravo. No, I mean they're just like the one to beat.
No, but then like Hulu, Disney, ABC, ABC, Hulu, Disney, ABC, ESPN. They're like a very cool conglomerate. They're like the two cool kids that are in competition. And then you have like Paramount. Viacom. That's just like weird with the glasses. Nickelodeon, Paramount, CBS. Like, okay. Good luck. Sure.
Those were the fast five, which is sad that they're over. Smile because it happened. But I'm smiling because that means it's time for Queenie and Weenie of the Week, our final segment of the week, where Jackie and I like to give out some awards, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. Just take a look back at the week at a glance. Who was doing Weenie-like things? Who was doing Queenie-like things? Nominate them. And just it's not that serious, you guys. It's a seven-week title. If you ever find yourself being Queenie or Weenie, don't get too comfortable, okay? Because you can find yourself Queenie one week, Weenie the next. It hasn't happened, but sure.
Okay, Queenie. My Queenie is Kylie at the Davids. My girl moving on up. They said she'd never be at the Davids on Timothy's arm. And they did say that. And there she was just down the street from the new Pope. She's my Pope S. I love that. I wonder if they went to the Vatican in like baseball caps because they were in Rome.
The Kardashians are Christian, not Catholic, right? They are. Yeah, but I think anyone just like... It's still cool. Just like I said, I would meander down. It's still interesting and historic. Yeah. So Kylie at the Davids, major Queenie moment. My Queenie actually goes to somebody whose name I don't know. But whoever I had the idea to bring back Shaz of Sunset, you are my Queenie of the week. Like, brilliant.
Completely unique. Not ever been done before. Like, I've been begging for this. Good on you for knowing what the culture wants, what the culture needs. And I thank you for your service. Unnamed man or woman. For my weenie, I am Betwixt Two Weenies. I feel like we might have the same one. I have one. But.
It's like not because I feel like I have two amazing choices. I have like two weak, like solid choices. You don't have to convince me. Do both. Why don't you tell me who yours is? And if that is one of mine, then that will go, the crown will go to them. My weenie of the week is going to be Zach from the Valley. That was one of mine. So there you go.
It was such a bad episode for him, mostly because of Benji on a stick. Like it was seriously the lamest thing. My weenie on the week is Benji on the stick. No, but Benji himself like hasn't done anything. I need to write down Benji on a stick. They just keep foisting Benji. So I never forget this.
Zach is weenie of the week. Like, I just feel like I'm getting to know him because I'm new to the Valley and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. I completely agree. It's incredibly weenie-like behavior. My other person, I was struggling to crown them because it wasn't feeling weenie. Like, it was... Who? No, uh... Please say it. Please. Dochi.
She was up for me too, but it's not, it wasn't weenie behavior. It was diva behavior. It was bad behavior. Yeah, it was giving diva of the week. But when the person who assembled Benji on the stick had a weenie in their heart. Who actually put the glue on the stick and like printed out the picture? Was it Zach? I don't, we need an investigation. Whoever it was. It was so horrible. It was so horrible. It was so horrible. Horrible.
I can't believe like they do hours and days of home footage. I cannot believe they left that in. That they included it. I blame everyone. I'm glad that they did. It starts at the top. I blame producers, editors, Zach, and I don't know, like who had a printer? Does, I don't, I feel like Zach doesn't have a printer. They had to go to FedEx. Like I know like a lot of work went into this. Who bought the popsicle stick? Like every single one of them, like,
Like we're going to just sum it up as Zach because without Zach, there would be no Benji on a stick. But it takes a village. But a lot of people were involved. Accomplices. That was your final episode for this week. What's so fab is that next week, Jax is coming to town. We're recording in person for the entire week. The week after that is the official start of my maternity leave. There will be no toast that week. There will be Patreon.
There will be episodes released almost every day, though, on Patreon. So stay tuned for that. And then the week after that, once we're after Memorial Day, Jax's official Jackie Owen Friends. Watch out, Jenna. Both New York, Florida. She's doing it all. So it's going to be fab. Up and down the coast.
But we'll see you on Monday just like two swirlies. Yeah, just Monday is regular. Big city swirlies. Don't do anything. Like Monday is the same. So you don't have to change your routine. Seriously, don't move. Yeah, except sign up for Patreon if you haven't.
