Good morning, girlies, it's the Tollos. It's Jackson Claude and where your hoes. It's your favorite show, the fast-by-things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's the Toast. It's sound amazing. Welcome back to the Toast, it's Thursday. Yeah, like letter half that we didn't really earn, but whatever. We didn't, but we're enjoying. I look that little, like we're enjoying, it's giving rise and shine. We are enjoying it. This weekend is a bit of work, it's not the hard holiday, but like a lot of cooking, a lot of hosting. We're a shuna, it's brightening and sanary night. The entire holiday, M&Law is like not a dish to be cleaned, no back breaking work, and I'm really like looking forward to it. That's exciting, Olivia is doing the first night and then I'm doing the second night.

So I'm excited and nervous to host in my new house. Of course, so much pressure. We have our dining table, like our formal dining table, but we don't have a kitchen table yet. But I guess regardless, we would have been doing grocery shun at the formal dining. Of course. So it's okay, I'm like, nervous, there's a rug under the table, like don't spill. But we'll have a kids table, we'll have kids table with their little, you know, play table, and then adults. A rug underneath the dining table is so chic. And I'm not just saying that because I have one. No, no, it's really part you, but it's nerve-wracking. A thousand percent, I hope you didn't spend a lot of money and you got one that's micro fiber, whatever. Knowing you, you probably got a silk rug from Persia. It's like, what are they called? That's the artichoke. That's artichoke. That's artichoke. Yeah. Rochak. I don't know, but I'm sure you probably got a stark rug. No, it's very beautiful, but I'm excited. I think I'm going to have to plan the menu, but I think I'll make a brisket. Keep it easy, j-cold, and brisket. Make it on Friday. Bring it on short of the sides and everything on Saturday and just as easy as can be. Also, status update.

My stove is working. I feel like a caveman who just discovered fire. Like we can make anything we want with all of this fire. How exciting. And now I feel whole again. That's great. And I can't wait to see what you cook up for me. Oh, I'm coming to visit soon. I know I'm very excited. After the holidays, you know, kind of life update on my, actually, a lot to share today. First of all, major news with Romeo. And it was so crazy because we were just talking about Romeo. I have to tell you guys a great thing. Guys are ready for this update. I can't believe this is the biggest update, but it kind of is. My story actually comes with a photo. And the photo is going to be on screen. So if you're watching, I'm going to add it. We're going to take the time to add it. Oh, okay. I already sent it. I said get it up. Okay. So so many, we were talking yesterday about the grooming. And Romeo, I said to you guys like because I cheaped out in the hamptons. Like he still hasn't been groomed. He looks huge. I told you also that he was at my in-laws. And of course my in-laws are the best. They don't even ask. They just take care of things. They got him groomed. They've got him groomed multiple times. I never let, I'm not like that particular. Just like cut his hair and make him clean.

Cut to my father-in-laws has spicks him up. And sends me this picture. And I didn't know that he was getting groomed. So I assumed that I was getting a photo from like the day Romeo was born. And we were just like taking a trip down memory lane. I'm like, oh, how sweet. No, the photo was from yesterday. He got butcher, like legit photo. Shop. Insert photo here. I had no idea his ears were that small. And literally like it's a combination of like the photo itself. It's giving like Hamas tunnel. It's giving hostage. It's giving hostage. The cut is really bad. And I was shocked. Like I, I didn't, first of all, like I wasn't mad or anything because like they're doing me a favor. But I was like, they didn't cut his hair. And by the way, I spoke to my mother-in-law. She said, I said keep the ears long. Just cut like the thing that you say. They just sort of like went rogue. And I imagine like it's worse in person. My sister-in-law went to her parents yesterday.

And like was sending me pictures. She was like, it's even worse. It's like, it's choppy. It is really bad. I was, Lord, I've never, the thing about Romeo. Like obviously we have a complicated relationship. But like I've always found him to be like extremely beautiful. Like he's one of the most cutist handsome Cavaliers I've ever seen. He's cuter than Theo. Like I stand on that. Stand on business. And like let me tell you he looks ugly. Like I was botched. B botched by the groom. Guys, that's in photo. The picture is so funny. Yeah, he does look like a newborn puppy. How did they not take off ear? Like how is that all hair? How does he still have carnage in his ear? Like I was, he was e-recognizable to me. And like you know, I thought it was literally a picture from the day he was born. Like when they come out, they're like kind of wet and like slick. I literally thought it was a birth photo, newborn photo shoot of Romeo. No, this was 12 hours ago. You guys have to see the photo if you're listening as a podcast. Like Claudia will post a tearful story. Of course, yeah. It's really too much. And Natty, no, Rob Salt in the womb, but Bruno happened to get groom yesterday as well.

And he like looked gorgeous. He looks amazing. However, like you said, you're coming down here soon. And I think we should get the two for one special. So I think coming down. Bruno, I seriously looked at Bruno this morning on my way to the door. I was like, Bruno, you look his handsome. You look like a two-year-old. You look so young and sprightly and cute. New house agrees with bro. New house. So I then chicken bone agrees with Bruno. You guys, we haven't heard it. I heard it's fatal for a dog. I know people were very nervous, but you guys. It's like eating a grape. We're like 36 hours out from chicken gate. Nothing. Well, the thing is, I think we're up to like life six or seven with Bruno. And you know he has nine lives. So you are getting up there, but the chicken bone is not going to take him out. Yeah, no, it's not going to take him out, but it's contributing to the eventual demise for sure. But like Bruno is living the life. He's living life in the way that he wants. Do you know what I mean? Like he's living a very happy fulfilled life. He's living out loud. He's living out. Don't you find he's living out loud for sure. And whenever he goes like hopefully you know 20 years, whatever,

whenever he goes, like it will be with a smile on his face. Oh my god. Like do you ever like do you think about like like Bruno's death, like and what that will be like? I don't. Okay, that's good. That's really healthy. Yeah. I don't. I think he also does have a mortal energy. Yeah, no, like nothing could take him down. He's going to be one of those dogs. You know, like those families had a like crusty white fluffy dogs that like literally can't see. Can't go to the bathroom. Can't hear but like give love. He gives love. Bruto. I actually, I don't think about it because you know, I got a lot to think about. Of course. But yeah, I guess that will be that would be sad. Like really terrible, horrible thing. Oh my god. I'll be so upset. Brody. Bruno sort of got our last Qnection to Theo. I should bring him. It's funny because Magnolia was around two for the Theodays, but no. That's not real. I should bring Bruno to work with me. Absolutely. Like, Jackie, who knows how much longer he has. I'll bring him tomorrow. Guys, little Friday.

It's kind of like when Theo was dying of cancer and I took him to see the Christmas tree in Rockfeller Center. Yeah, I think I'm going to bring Bruno to work tomorrow. I think that's what we all need. I love that. So, yeah. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing Bruno. I keep trying to say my big news. Oh, right, right. Beyond Romeo's bad haircut. So in a couple of which was genuinely like the biggest in earth shattering. We're coming down obviously because I miss you after the holidays. I've like a lot. I've got a lot of stuff from my camp to summer. You know, get my life in order and then we're going to come down because I didn't even tell you guys. But like, it's kind of big news for me because you guys know I'm like a renter till I die. But when we were in Florida the last time, like a day and medical during my sabbatical, that was December 2025, right? Yeah, I purchased. I made a purchase. But a two person home owner. Okay, like small place owner. By the beach. I obviously like I couldn't really stay with you even though now in your new house. Like maybe I could have, but I felt like my time was running out and like coming to you guys for weeks at a time. And like now we need multiple bedrooms. I think we're just taking a lot of space.

We're be sleeping in the studio. Like it's not. It's not just. Like you're literally recording in Ruby's room. Yeah, not cool. And I just figured like if I'm going to buy a place like I should do it like at the beach, water signs to be with my family. I spend so much time there. So we bought in December and like we've been doing work. So I am going to come down and just sort of like. In your place. Check the place out. It's giving your place. Yeah, I'm a place owner. I love that. I mean, I've I've loved it. I'm very excited. This means so much to me to be closer to my sister. And if it has felt like I've been extra cardboard in recent months. Like now I can finally share like I'm going through a lot. Like I am going through a lot. It's been I live a very sort of. Like laws a fair life like I'm a renter. You know what I mean? And now I feel so tethered. I have like bills and like. Payments and it's been really crazy. It's been a growing experience for us. Yeah, yeah.

And you just I'm in a similar stage like having moved into a new house and everything that comes along with it and decorating whatever. I'm just looking forward to like turning the spigot off. You know, like I'll do what I have to do. You know, things have to be paid for everything we need to stove. Of course, but I just need to get to a place where we can turn the spigot off. I've been feeling that way for a while. And I just feel like maybe like adulthood is like knowing that the spigot never turns off. You don't think so. I feel like I'm like a month away from turning the spigot off. Like parenthood. Like things just happen. Okay, maybe there's different spigot. So I'm a month away from turning off the home spigot. Okay. And that's a big one. That will be a big one. And then I might have to turn off some other spigots. Like Birkin spigot. Like because the home spigot drain. Of course. Other spigots shall suffer. They drain the well. Yeah. And then I wanted to tell you guys something else. Oh, what else could there be? I actually wrote like a list. Oh, that's what I wrote down sometimes. Like I've so many things to share.

And I forgot to tell you this. I yesterday. Remember we were saying on the toast. Like we were so excited for dancing with the stars. We loved Tyler Cameron. But we just get the vibe that he's like a horrendous dancer. So I get this voice memo from the friends here at Cameron. Yeah. And I believe Sharna was like in the background because I heard like a girl. A voice. Oh, it disappeared. Oh, I was excited to have a little Tyler C. cameo. He was like horrendous. Who you calling horrendous? And he was like, I can't wait to prove you wrong. He said if you if we want to come and be like his friends family, we'd love to have us. And then people also did remind me that he had like a whole I didn't watch his season of the bachelor weirdly. That's right. People reminded me as well. He had like a dance sequence. He was like the dancer. I think he actually has like amazing rhythm. And I think he has potential to win because the younger generation doesn't know Tyler C yet. And when they do, he's like Garrett Graham. Like they're going to love him. Everyone who knows him loves him. And if he has the skills, which I'm now sensing like he has a lot of rhythm.

I think that he so my top two are Julia styles and Tyler Cameron. You think Julia styles could win? I do. I have to go back to the whole Millennial audience behind her. Like dancing with the stars is newly very Gen Z, very tick tock. But it's OG fan base is like Millennial like Boomer. And they love Julia styles. Yes. Also Tyler C was on that show like. Dancing. What's that movie? Oh my god, dirty dancing. Tirty dancing. I forgot about that. Yeah, he's like low key dancer. Yeah. Wait, that's cute. I forgot about that. And I'm telling you, I think he has potential. Great. Well, I'm excited. I think that like premieres when. Next week. Okay. Oh, I tried to like be with the people and watch the trending show last night. Ben was out of town. I didn't want to watch the trending show. I'll tell you, I didn't want to watch the alleged woman be there on the US Open. So I can try to watch something else. Everyone's talking about the show furious with his on who Lou with Emmy.

Awesome. Now I sat down with my dinner. And I watched. What did you put in there? Like I ordered because Ben was gone. So I was like, he left me alone. He left me hungry. I ordered. Um, but I don't know why I like. Like embarrassed. Why you embarrassed. I don't know. I literally ordered sushi. She's like, there's nothing weird about that. Okay. I just like ordered a lot. One time I got like an Uber Eats notification that I'm in like the top. I'm not sure if I can get a number one percent of order us. But that's, I used to get those like when I lived in the city for my spot. And that's just because I'm loyal. It's not because I order so much. It's just because most people order from a different place all the time. I have two places I like. So yeah. Yeah. Number one customer. And I watched like the first five minutes of furious. It was so spooky. I didn't know what it was about. And it was like this guy was kidnapped. And I turned it off immediately. Like I cannot watch shit like that by myself. Yeah. That's crazy. Like there's always a busy show that we don't watch, you know? Like. Draw on it. I know, but I felt like I wanted to be with the people. I don't watch. I don't watch fiction anymore. Well, the show is so Olivia Ashery coded. She like loves drama, kidnap FBI.

Like I got to tell her she has to watch it. No, the only fictional watches Chad Powers. That was a percent. But really like if you look at my history, I really only watch reality TV. I couldn't watch Chad Powers. It's like a husband and wife show. I know. I had the same experience last night. Like exactly never came upstairs. And so I was like, I guess I'm not watching Chad Powers. I was watching sports. Oh, yeah, that's why there was some like for cocktail football NFL game on in Australia. Yeah, the 49ers. I think. Yeah. And I saw some people were just talking about it. Who was it? I do respect the NFL's attempt to like go worldwide and compete with soccer. It feels like unfair to the players with the travel to Australia just for like the NFL's image issue. Yeah, that's really crazy and really far. It's so far. Yeah. I don't know who played. I think like the Rams or something like that. Oh, California had to head or a team of that nature. And that does mean like chili season, lounge wear season.

You have to make a chili now. And now that I have my stove top I can. But now I have to make a brisket for Roch. Next week on me, chili. We're doing short ribs. For Roch. Mm hmm. You're in Loser doing short ribs. Yeah. Well, they asked me what I wanted and I said, short ribs. Oh, you're like sort of in your short rib era. It's so good. It's like an alternative to brisket. But it's like the same thing. It's the same flavors. It's like, but it's much softer meat. I find it's very fatty. My father-in-law makes like the best recipe and Ben's recipe. That's on his Instagram. It's like an interpretation of that. It's so good. The meat is a little fatty. There's not. So, my. There's not as much like meat. I think I'm going to go like first cut. Brisk it. What? Okay. Fuck that meat. Yeah, I have no idea. Shoulder. Shoulder. Oh, so good. You brought up first cut, brisket. Huge news yesterday. What? Like the Upper East Side Jewish community was shaking.

Guess who was spotted at the kosher grocer? Like so random. A Jew. No. Actually, no. Oh, but it was a maybe. That's a clip. No, no, no. And that's not. It was really a really silly deeper. No, like. First of all, like total opposite. Like, you're never going to guess. But like, it was so random. Like everyone was trying to make it big from sex in the city. Oh, that's cool. He got pizza. And he was like sitting outside like eating lunch. I feel like maybe he didn't know was a kosher grocer and just like wanted pizza. Yeah. But he seemed to be enjoying it according to my sources. Boots on the ground. Oh, good. Yeah, great. It's great for the community. Yeah. That's exciting. It was. It was really exciting. We've got some things to discuss today. We do. So I think we can get into it. Oh, do we? Yeah. Like not not, not Drek. I would say not Drek. And I just want to say like nothing was Drekky about yesterday. It's true. It's true. Um, but just by under not Drek. So what's this from? FYI. You did.

What's that from? It's from. Bring it on like seven with hate and panatier. So good. And one of like, salonious friends is like. Yeah. That's why I. You did. I love that. I know that girl. What's her name? I love her. Actually, she's posted a TikTok. That's why she is like back in my consciousness. She posted a TikTok when hate and panatier passed away. She like couldn't believe it. Oh. Yeah. Such a good movie. And she's like a classic character from all of our shows growing up. Yeah. If you haven't seen that. It's kind of a quite particular brain on. You should watch it. Actually, like, I think that if you were to watch it. Like, as a fully formed like frontal lobe developed adult. You would say, what the fuck is this movie? Like, first of all, it's not okay. Like, half the shit they say is insane. The crumping. Like, it's not okay. The whole movie is actually like deeply troublesome. But because it's like a core part of our childhood. We're like, oh, yeah, that movie. But if you were to watch it now, you'd be like, what the fuck is this?

No, I think it's still hits. It doesn't. Like, it doesn't. If you ever seen like clips out of context, you're like, wait, that movie was weird. Out of context. It's out of pocket. In context. And in context, it all adds up. Yeah, so it all comes out in the context. Okay, well, let's get into the fast five stories that yet it do need to know. FYI. You did. Today's episode is brought to you by Smartmouth. There are nothing's to worry about during the day. Having stanky breath should not be one of them. And Smartmouth takes the worry away.

It's developed by the dentist who literally wrote the encyclopedias section on bad breath.

I so sort of inspired by their mission and I love their products. They have nighttime products, morning products. If there's someone in your life who's breath stanks, like it doesn't have to be that way. And I think a lot of mouth washes and like oral products mask the bad breath.

So they've got vitamin D, B12, C zinc, folate, which are all the foundational nutrients to support immune health, rapid growth.

That kids go through and of course the ingredient list is non GMO vegan dairy free allergy free gelatin free nut free. They've really thought of everything it's formulated by pediatricians and nutritional scientists. It's a very powerful, chewable vitamin. Kids love it. It's got that great taste, but it's not filled with like sugary garbage. Kids love the bottle. It's like a fun activity that like they get to decorate it.

Thank you, Tirty for letting us know that hi, a health sponsored today's episode. It's literally my job. Our first story, no particular order. I would say are the stories, but this isn't exciting. Fun one SNL has set their season 52 hosts and musical guests and Jalen Brunson star of the New York

New York. Nick's will be hosting the first episode of the season with music from Kat's eye. That's huge. First of all, like I don't like tune in every week to SNL, but I will be sat for this. I didn't even think I didn't realize like that they were coming back and it was the first one since they won the championship, but this is a like a genuine, perfect casting. I also think I don't really know like Jalen's personality, like I'm looking for to get it. Obviously, he's an amazing basketball player, and I feel like he really just stands behind his talent. We don't really he doesn't lead personality first. He leads like skill first. So who is Jalen Brunson? Who is Jalen Brunson? I think he's probably he's just like you. Like I feel like he's a regular guy. Yeah, and he's like a young dad and a husband and he's working hard and he loves basketball. He loves Gacaba. Do you think he's a big cat's eye fan? No. Yeah, I feel like they could have like paired up a better musical artist with Jalen's someone like more New York. It could have been like such a New York night. Yeah, so here are the people they announced in this run. First, we have Jalen and cash.

This is a Billy Joel. Yes. Then they have very styles. He's doing his New York residency. So we're going to get to the stars. You don't even see this. I saw the short shorts. Is that what you're talking about? And you haven't seen what the story is. I'll make you look at a picture when we talk about the stories. It's really crazy. Oh, I got so excited. Yeah. So maybe not Harry styles. Dakota Johnson is then hosting with hardcore rock band turn style. And then Shane Gillis will host for the third time on October 10th with Rosalia. As he said, don't you think it's so crazy? I know. The chain, Gillis, like given his whole arc. Like I do think that he's like he doesn't need SNL. Like if I'm him, like I'm holding a grudge, but he obviously doesn't. And it's also weird that like SNL has sort of like debase that to base themselves. They fired him. And now he's the host like three time members. I don't have to say their desperate to have them on the show. And I'm sure they are. They would love to have him on the show, but he's so far surpass going on SNL. No, no, as a cast member. As a cast member. Yeah.

So I at least they can like admit when they're wrong. Yeah, it's impressive. Who's the musical artists with him? Rosalia. Oh, right. Yeah, I feel like this lineup does genuinely nothing for me except for Jalen Brunson. And then the other person announced was indeed Navarotti. She's going to need the Halloween episode with Gracie Abrams. Yeah. And I'm not sure if that's a correct pronunciation, but like she's like the it girl Gen Z from obsession. Yeah, I didn't watch it, but like her and the girl from Sterling Point. I think her name is Ella Rubin. They're like the girls of the moment. Like they're. They're both so pretty. There there was girls. Yeah, there are girls. Stella Rubin going to her. Now when does the Jalen Brunson episode air? Soon. September 26. Got it. Okay. I was just watching a clip from Reese with her spoon on armchair expert. And he was saying like I didn't realize you were the first SNL host after 9-11 in 2001. Like what was that like?

I didn't even think about like all the things. You know, you see like the Metz game where Mike Piazza scored the home run after 9-11 and pushed throughout the like kind of a core American memories, but you don't think about SNL, which is like so New York. And she said like she had such a pit and she like had a one year old. She was like a new mom. She obviously like was not going to say no. And it was like probably like the most nervous she's ever been in her whole career. Yeah. That's. And they had someone come. I think they had like Giuliani on the episode. Like it was like this whole thing. Um, and if you were to ask me like who was the host of night of the first SNL after 9-11. Like I would never have guessed it was Reese with her spoon. But she was like a mayor. She still is like America speed hard. That's like darling girl. Yeah. Um, the 25th anniversary of 9-11 is tomorrow. I've been tomorrow. Do you are you also just seeing so many videos and like stories every year, every year. I feel like this year and the lead up maybe because it's also the 25th anniversary. It's just like a lot of content. I think like. And like all the networks are doing like special. Yeah. But I don't know. And on X and Instagram. Like just I'm just getting like so many stories.

I know the drone show last night. I saw the drone show last night. Ben saw it in person. Like when they tell us that was happening. Like I would have went to go see it. You know what I mean? Yeah, I didn't know that was happening. And I do feel like I'm consuming a lot of 9-11 content and still like no one told me. Yeah, right. Same. Like I would have loved to have seen that. Um, yeah, tomorrow. Uh, so eerie. I. Yeah. We'll talk about it tomorrow. I really. Yeah. It's so heavy. So that's a SNL lineup. Like I'm sure it's going to all be bad. But it's exciting. The announcements are always exciting. I'll see that. Yeah, although this was like besides for Jalen Brunson. I feel like this really false flat. I agree. And I don't know who's their musical booker. But like. And maybe I'm just out of touch because I don't know. It's a combination of like you being a little like you're you have your own sort of genre specific. Demographics specific. But I feel like they don't know who they are at SNL. Like they're trying to be like Gen Z. But like Gen Z doesn't really watch SNL. I'm like, they're always trying to cater to an audience that's like not there. And I don't even know who watches SNL. I don't think they know who watches SNL. Yeah.

But like, I'm like, I don't know Dylan. Hosting SNL went totally. I was watching another Tim Dylan. He's kind of empowering me. Like I don't think I say enough crazy events of things. What was I watching today? He was talking about it was cracking me. Where did you see it? I'm reals. I'm obviously on Dylan talk. Oh, so it's other people clipping his stuff. Yeah. And they send me like six minute clips. And it's the perfect thing to watch. I'm getting ready. I like listen. I don't even watch. I was laughing so hard today. It was not Lindsey Clancy. He did do a hilarious segment on. It's a crazy to say it's even hilarious. And on the woman who was like knife wielding in Times Square. Do you see that video and the police killed her. But like he's not reacting to like these tragedies. He's reacting to people's reactions. Cause like Lindsey Clancy, like the rhetoric has been so shocking. So his commentary is really on the commentary, which makes it so much funnier. And he's just kind of empowered me. He said something so offensive. I couldn't believe what I was here. I was laughing so hard.

About the Times Square knife. No, no, no, no. It was what was I watching today? What's like recent drama that he's been doing? I'm not talking about the drama that he's been talking about. US Open. No. I can't remember. It'll come back to me. But I realize like I am not radical enough in my commentary on the toast. I great. Kick it up and touch. If you hear me saying like some crazy things just if you and are looking for someone to blame, it's Tim Dylan. Well, I'll say something and be like, Oh, was that like the wrong thing to say? And it's like, no, I need to be bringing more Tim Dylan and her. Jay. Well, our next story, maybe, maybe I'll find something to say. So Harry styles has fans outrage over his insane New York City concert ticket. Oh my god. I saw it. Yes. So I saw the plane and the tower. Yeah. A social media user has shared an image of Harry styles ticket artwork for his together together. Together tour that is going to be in New York this week. It's a residency. It's like 30 shows. I think it's like like months long. Yes. So the ticket in question is for the Wednesday September 9th, the 7th night of his tour stop.

And on the front, it looks like a ticket stuff. And on the back, there's like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building that like the skyline. It's like a cartoon drawing and a car flying through the air. A car. I thought it was a plane. Oh, is it a plane or a car? Why would there be a car in the sky? No, look, pull it up. Pull it out. Yeah, because I saw this. It looks like there's no, it looks like a convertible. A plane is even crazier, but yeah, it also looks like a plane. Oh, it's a plane. It's a car plane. It's a car. It's an ambiguous vehicle. The page six had seemingly with styles in a vehicle. Very good. It's a vehicle. Yeah, I saw this. I think obviously we're all like a hypersensitive this week. But I don't think you could ever be hypersensitive enough to 9-11 imagery. And it's crazy. This is just one of those things where it's like how many people know what it's like. They're it's the skyline, but there's really only two towers.

You know, well, no, I don't agree with that because like one is like they're far away from each other and one's like much shorter than the other. I just think like when you're putting planes in the sky near the New York skyline, it's over important to be like very sensitive. You know, yeah. I think and obviously this week, even more so, would this have stopped traffic in January? I don't know. People might not have been on his high alert and wouldn't have been in a dark mind. But yeah, after all the content, I've seen this week. Of course, this is the first thing that I would think of. But it's not like there's the statue of Liberty here. Like they there's only two towers. There's only two iconic towers. Just saying. No, it's a 1000% bad. Like it's bad. I just think that this is yet another to merit for Mr. Styles. No, well, no, I think this is just like another more proof that Harry Styles is very much in his flop era. And I know people don't want to hear that. But he is.

So another to merit. Sure. It's really crazy. I'm reading like the comments. Because I think any human being the set before you read that there's backlash, I saw it. My first thought was like, oh my God, a plane. Like it's it's sort of obvious. Yeah. So the fact that like all the editors and printers and anime, like I feel like sometimes sometimes it's obvious like once it's out there to a person who's not involved. But like sometimes when you are in it, it's not obvious. I do feel like that sometimes for people. And I can give grace. But this feels like very intentional. Okay, I don't think it's intentional. I don't think he was trying to like a threat. Oh, my God, Tim Dylan. Very Tim Dylan of you. I don't think it was a threat. I don't. I don't think Harry would do that. Because I think Harry loves New York. I just think.

Oh, and mind you, Harry has no idea that he's even giving out like commemorative. Oh, yeah, like he doesn't work on the artwork at all. This is nothing to do with Harry self. Harry team. Harry team. Harry artist. Yeah. Who is Harry's artist? Yes, let's meet the designer behind this offensive artwork. Yeah, let's do that. Because it wasn't Harry. So someone drew this. Let's talk to them. What's going on in their life? What's there about what would a therapist say? Yeah, I think that's where we should place blame. And I do think like when you're just like even though he's a huge star, sometimes like there's a lot of materials that just like go out, you know, Jackie, he has no idea that these things even exist. No, but it's like how many people approved this? How many people do you actually think like two? Of course, it leads back to. I think a million people have put a take Macray though. Like I don't think a number of people saw this. Honestly, I think it was just like some bonus artwork. The artist made it descended to the surface and then they sent it out to kinkos.

Yeah, totally. Really crazy. Do better. Literally, do better on the, on the eve of the 25th anniversary. Not cool. Yeah, are you ready for our next story? Which is shocking and it's meant to be so. Sydney Swini puts on a show as she strips down in cheeky Novig ad. So Sydney Swini is embracing racing sports and sports betting in a bold way. The actress stripped down for sports prediction market Novig. So Novig is a new prediction market app platform and it's strictly sports. It's just for betting on sports and she is in their first national brand campaign and it says Novig is just sports and in spirit in the spirit of that. She's not wearing any clothes just and she's like sitting on a basketball hoop with her kuchia. There's literally 10 different ways that she's making with sports covering paraphernalia.

And so yes, it is just sports. Now I have got to know how much she was paid for this. She, by the way, she is an investor in the company. She's a strategic partner and equity holder. She is even more incentive to because the thing is this commercial makes no sense like messaging wise. Like what does a naked Sydney, sweetie have to do with predicting sports, but we are all talking about Novig something I had never heard of prior to yesterday. Like this is effective marketing in the sense that like we're being introduced to a brand and now I know the name of the brand and what they do. I will say even though this is like so crazy and at first when I said I'm like what's she getting naked for. But now like when we talk through the creative, like I will never forget that Novig is just sports. No, I'm telling you it was not underwear. She looks not so I saw a comment and it's so true. Like she is literally Cassie from euphoria. Like this is so something Cassie would do.

And I do, you know what's funny is that. I think people are going to think this is like a crazy statement. I feel that like how she thinks about like her body and her image and like people sexualizing her is like really what Emily Radikowski thought she was doing. Like being this like intellectual with her titties out like Sydney sweetie is laughing her ass to the bank like she's in on the joke and like she's not just being sexualized for the sake of being sexualized like she's. This is not even a commercial for a brand that she's getting paid. She's an investor and like I think that she's letting people sort of. Like comment and sexualize her and they think that she doesn't know but she does. Yeah, where's like Emily Radikowski was like I'm intellectual stop looking at my tits. Here's my nipple like okay, I'm pretty free. Yeah, like work abuse. So actually I think in its own way this is very very feminist twist. You find it to be empowering. No, but I get it like I feel like she thinks like I feel like everyone thinks that she doesn't get it but she does like for sure she does I feel like every time I'm like okay she's going to be serious like we're buttoned up now and she did that role of the boxer and she's like.

Right, we're trying to be you know. Taking serious no she's going to do all of the things. Yes and I respect her clear financial motivations in life. I think she like grew up poor. I think she has a lot of spigots. No, I think she like wants multiple lives and expensive lives. Yeah, I think that she likes likes to live have fun and like spend money and live free. Take a jet. Yeah, it helps that she's dating a billionaire. Of course and I think a lot of times when you do data billionaire like you do have to sacrifice like on their looks and their age. There's not like so many like hot like look at Mark Zuckerberg everything somebody uglier in your whole life like there are so few like I was like. Like I just take it's an example like show me like an actually conventionally handsome billionaire. Yeah. And it's like scooter bronze stands alone whatever you think of him like you cannot deny he's like a good looking guy. Yeah fit young ish so. She's getting the best of both you know yeah also the pictures are amazing like seriously how can you really pose in that many different ways without showing.

Private and the use of different athletic equipment is really crafty I would say yeah I'm just looking at base I'm looking at billionaires like sorry bezos. I would need like a thousand drinks Larry page. I mean I'm maybe he at one point but like warm buff it like like point. I don't know a lot of these people like what they look like I'm just looking at the bill gates y'all collect seriously y'all. And also sometimes like to be a billionaire you have to be much older because it's you know of course of time of course. I feel like Ken Griffin is like not that bad looking. I have to look up a picture what do you think about Elon. No like he's not on the list that's weird. He's a trillion. That's why. Oh sorry he's not on the list he's just number one. He's not on list because he's a trillion. They're not a billionaire. Yeah I think that like of course with all due respect like I think he's ugly like just and I'm only talking about like looks you know.

I'm going to pull up a photo of him and like just trying to evaluate based on looks. Yeah I'm just looking at like these. Oh maybe like in his hey day like Mike Bloomberg could have gotten it but today no he could get it. That's what I'm saying for girls like Cindy Sweeney like scooter brought is a one in a million type of guy. Yeah yeah but it's not going to stop her from working hard Claudia. No of course. Do you think she should work less hard. I mean if it were me. But that's why she's where I'm at and like I'm a slot. It's true it's true. Okay you agreed a little too quickly. I was agreeing with the first half if you guys like see our I started saying it's true before you said Slob when you said that's why she's where she's at. It's true it's true. Okay fine nothing to do with you I didn't that was before you brought yourself into it. But you should have known I was going to historically that's what I always do. Historically it's this was a crazy advertisement I will say love to her with like the Kardashian.

A way of beachy waves like with her long extensions I never see her looking like that. Yeah no she looks really beautiful and. She also like stepped her pussy up style wise I feel like for so long she was like the hottest girl in the world and she like showed up to all these red carpets like. Actually looking like a mother of the bride so bad and I feel like it maybe scooter brawn like a year ago she started like dressing well. Yeah she dresses really well now that you forgot that there was a period where yeah she was like so bad like she was either about mitzvah girl or the mother of the bride. And you actually have to go out of your way to dress someone so young and like perfect and make them look bad it's harder to make them look bad than it is to make them look good. Right well I now know that no big is just sports. Yeah that we need another one of these platforms I don't know seared into my mind. Consider it seared. Consider it seared job well done.

Thank you to you are D you're welcome our fourth story some tech news major major tech news apples introducing the I do do it's first phone. Okay so it's that time of year I guess yet September where they're like doing their big presentation all the new products all the new features and they're coming out of the flip phone so the new iPhone duo is a foldable smartphone it has an internal dual display panel that provides the largest most immersive screen size ever at 7.6 inches diagonally so I heard that when you close it it's about the size of a passport and then open it it's like a

open it it's giving more like iPad yeah so that's the thing it's like I am intrigued even though I want to hate it like I'm open to it except that when you open it it's like that's not a phone it looks like the iPad mini and I just feel like I already have such a toxic relationship with my phone if it's even bigger and more immersive like I'm scared yeah I'm scared to I'm trying to spend like less time on my phone I mean this is actually good for like content and content creators because like the way people consume there now you're going to want to watch more things on your phone it's going to be like a more premium experience so that sort of sounds like a beautiful place to watch a new episode of the toast right oh it's going to be great for video podcasts with Pargy Queens and amazing what's that amazing frames it'll also be good I think for like TV and movies because people will really be able to watch that stuff on their phones now you wouldn't watch like a movie on your phone but like you would on your iPad so yeah I also like the closed version of the phone like not the flipped open part is giving like Palm Pilot like you need to have like your whole it's like wide yeah like a passport they said and what does this mean for phone cases such a good question and octobuses I want to say I happen I didn't know consciously that the event was happening and that they were

not seeing a new iPhone but I should have known because like my phone has been on the fritz these last couple of days and you know whenever they announce a new iPhone like the one that came before starts to like break down so they make you get it and I do want to say like for research purposes I will be getting this phone I think I think I have a 15 no there's 16 you have a 70 you might have a six I have a 17 I think I have 15 because I'm always ordering phone cases and it's you know it makes me feel sick like seriously sick like I remember when they launched the iPhone period like it didn't even have a number like it was just iPhone this is 15 pro max oh my god yeah and it's like the battery sitting yourself a content creator the battery like doesn't last the old I'm always like I would have a charger so I am ready for a new phone so I think I have to get this phone that's the next one I'm just afraid because sometimes Apple launches stuff and like if you can get it you're the coolest person alive sometimes Apple launches stuff and you get it like I remember the goggles what was called like the virtual reality like Apple uh did I don't know the Apple ones know

but remember when Apple came out with like what the fuck is it called I don't know Google Glass no no no no sorry it's not a pair of glasses it's not a pair of glasses the goggles the goggles vision pro I think that was what it was called like and everyone was talking about it and I feel that like if you bought one it was like a mark on you that you are a loser you know what I mean and I'm afraid that like this flip phone I don't know if you buy it it makes you cool or if it makes you a loser because sometimes you just look like a sheep who will spend two thousand dollars on anything it just depends like is this the next frontier and then all phones will eventually be DOS and I think also like Samsung has been doing this you know yes there is there is I think a Google phone that flips or a Motorola of course Apple is never the first to do something but for some reason people only care when Apple does it yeah so it's starting at uh almost two thousand dollars and that's like with no space you know you want to hold 26 gigabytes ranging up to three thousand two hundred dollars for a model with two

terabytes oh now like do we wait or do we just do it you know I think I'm going to get it and also it's like is there an actual like technological purpose to having a flip phone or are you doing it because like we all sort of like miss having flip phones and like the vibe nostalgic and like that also vibe of like clicking down like I saw like a lot of tech commentators commenting on the fact that when you open up the new iPhone flip phone there's a crease where you it's like not completely smooth I would expect there to be your full screen I would expect there not to be actually very these prices yeah I guess I guess this is what's next for technology but it does to the announced it does feel like a big leap a big technological leap though of course sometimes the announced brands have done it many times sometimes they announce like other features coming to the phones or like you can get your AirPods go like up your ass new AI features for new iPhones and AI series more expressive oh god just what we need I'm crying I'm sure there's other stuff

but this article spoke is John the duo on just the phone yeah no that was the big the big news of the day they should have us like beat the spokespeople because we're like the duo oh I love that right and you know what I totally forgot like you know you've made it I got Apple PR last time they did their announced I got like the new computer the fuck what was it called the neo that everyone was talking about it's like pink it's so cute I love it um and they were like do you want it I was like yeah so can I get the phone too I would love to not pay for it I didn't know that was an option yeah I got Apple PR I feel like it's like an elite PR list to be honest seriously cool yeah sometimes I forget about like cool things that I do or have done you know yeah like what but no I was gonna say a similar vein before he obviously became like a crazy Nazi no closed on Sunday oh Kanye yeah no but what about Steve like whenever we talk about like cool things that you done that we forget like we say Kanye and now we say massing or Steve Harvey twice if you read

my book like you guys don't even know like the mentor that Steve Harvey was to me and like the kind of sort of multi-relationship we had after my first appearance on the show it's not that to maltress but you should read my book but you did it twice the show yeah oh I forgot about the second time like I was so like they were obsessed with me and Steve had a real connection he like couldn't get over me I'm being dead serious he told me I was a star and I was really going places I remember that he was right you went a thousand percent look at me I'm I have my own podcast okay um yeah they made me back like a year or two later and we just like reconnected and he was asking me like about social media like he's like literally when I consider my mentors sorry I have to add Hillary Hoffman and Steve Harvey yeah or like people who were like integral to in my growth in your journey major stops along the way on your journey the shoulders on which I stand yeah Steven Harvey let's make a graphic it's like a picture of me standing on Steve Harvey shoulders Steve Harvey standing on like when it's pal Joe shoulders all my mentors and Hillary and Brooks Nader of course are you ready for our fifth and final story oh my god I know I think

I think it will take some time with it though because CMA award nominations are out oh yeah they just didn't even know that um so let's go through it shall we we have LL Langley Miranda Lambert and Casey Musgraves leading the nominations wow go Casey Musgraves because I feel like her album like really came and went um but I think that it's obviously LL's year so entertainer of the year we're gonna start from the bigs here are the nominees Luke Holmes Cody Johnson LL Langley Chris Stapleton and Laney Wilson um they always just like make shit up so I'm gonna say who I predict and my predictions are based on like statistics and facts and there's just based on vibes it does feel like LL Langley's year even though it's so crazy that you can be nominated for she was on like the biggest tour of the year this year opening for Morgan Wall and it's like Morgan Wall and it's not even nominated for entertainer of year well they don't nominate him for anything no they've started like reincorporate him back they don't let him win but they throw him in there every now and then can you read me the nominees again I will but I will I don't think Morgan Wall and isn't even nominated for male vocalist he is not nominated for anything was his album this year uh yeah and

oh that's crazy yeah so you can't even think about that uh entertainer was Luke Holmes Cody Johnson LL Langley Chris Stapleton and Laney Wilson even though like LL Langley was the face of country music this year like the way that this category works like I don't think she'll win no I think it's just about like who toured the most it's gonna be Chris Stapleton or Wayne Wilson per usual Wayney Wilson um yeah I wouldn't be mad if it was Chris Stapleton and I wouldn't be mad if it was Laney Wilson like I know and I would not be mad if it was for a third year in a row give my speech about how I actually love Laney Wilson but she's not deserving of any for accolades like seriously don't make me do it I wouldn't be mad if it's Cody Johnson and of course I would be thrilled if it's Luke Holmes I had to turn that song off yesterday like I was listening to music while I got ready and I was doing my makeup take that phone call from my like when the bridge comes on like seriously I have to go die like I can't I can't hear it yeah like it's Luke's time you know I sort of like they do love to snub him they love to snub him and that's why I didn't even mention him when

I was talking about like who how I'll reaction people win because like I I'm just used to the fact that he's not gonna win I don't know why but obviously it's like why would he win he just like took country music to Australia and the UK and broke records over there and it's introducing the genre to an entirely new group of people but why would that make him entertain in the year when Laney Wilson was on Yellowstone like please he's my number one for this if I were in the voting block yeah next we have single of the year we have B her it's choose in Texas B her by yellow Langley choosing Texas by yellow Langley I knew it I knew you by Taylor Swift oh somewhere over Lureto by Laney Wilson and the fall oh Cody Johnson well you know who it's for me it's the fight I also can't I also can't listen to the painter because obviously that song is about his wife but it's actually about Ruby it's about me actually oh you are the painter on the painter oh no Ruby's a painter I don't remember life before he came into the picture showed me beauty I was missing with him that that sweet but I feel like it's like colors I ain't never seen I literally

sang it last night when I was putting him down I think it's Cody giving me my flowers for being like the painter of our life in my family oh my god I'm cracking up that's hilarious and like you are the painter but the fact that you're like nominating yourself makes it like less sweet it's actually like Jackson the painter of course of course but like he doesn't know the song and when I heard it I was just like and he's singing about his wife and it just like made me feel seen as a wife you know that's beautiful oh I don't like it's only someone singing to Lindsey Clancy like maybe things will have turned out different that's such a good point there are a couple of songs if I were curating a playlist for Lindsey Clancy just in an effort to have perhaps changed her mind and like and boost morale around the house yeah did she try putting on music whatever choosing Texas is nominated for should and maybe won't because they just like make

shit up over there like they refuse to give it to Shabuzy with bar song but like that was the song of the year not just in country in the world it was the song of the year I agree but it's late to be nominated in the same category twice seriously album of the year ain't in it for my health by Zack top Dan D'Lion by Ella Langley middle of nowhere by KC Musgraves Parker McCullum Parker McCullum and the way I am by Luke Holmes honestly I'd be good with any of these oh really I feel it's not a really competitive category and it's like to me only two of these nominations even deserve to be nominated and that's Luke and Ella and I'll be happy if either of them when no man we listen to Parker McCullum's album because we had heard good things and it was nice I remember I heard it like once and never let's do it again yeah middle of nowhere I didn't know her album was called that you know I love that I know that's your favorite Luke Holmes middle of somewhere what it's middle of somewhere it's middle of somewhere because like the middle of nowhere to you is the middle of somewhere to me somewhere to me oh it's so beautiful it's so beautiful yeah song of the year we have be her Ella Langley beautiful things Megan Moroney

choosing Texas Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert is on that dry spell KC Musgraves and Gary Stephen Wilson Jr. Why does it feel like this like wasn't a big year for country music I like there none of these songs are even remotely eligible except for and yes Miranda Lambert wrote choosing Texas with Ella Langley she's getting rich off that song I think one because of the erasure of Morgan Wallen yeah and he had a 30 song album and like so many of the number one hits of in country music this year were Morgan Wallen and so when you take him out a little crazy but the world's insane when you take him out then it's like well where are the hits Morgan Wallen it's true it's true um but also choosing Texas is the song of the year it's Ella's year like every award she's nominated for she is the clear winner is she gonna go home with 11 awards or zero we'll find out female vocalist of the year Miranda Lambert Ella Langley Megan Moroney KC Musgraves Laney Wilson I really like the friendship between Miranda Lambert and

Ella Langley it's like very mean Steve Harvey like my story yeah Miranda is like sort of in her friendship era a thousand percent she made up with KC Musgraves they did a collab together and I think she's really taken on this like mentorship level like role with Ella Langley who's kind of the Miranda Lambert of her generation like like she's also friendly towards Laney Wilson you know like that hasn't shut her out she's just sort of like in her girls girl era and I never saw that for Miranda when we were like reporting on all of her like divorce drama with the cop and the married guy um I love that she settled into this like girl boss era mentor I follow her on social media it's one of my she's one of my favorite follows she like really walks the walk of the country lifestyle and talks the talk I think I think a lot of I think this is like a thing in country music like people who look sing about riding horses and like like live in a high rise condo yeah um no she what she like lives in the middle of somewhere male vocalist of the year Luke Holmes Cody Johnson Chris Stapleton's

act tops Stephen Wilson Jr. I know the three first three I'm cool with for me it's Luke or Cody you know like I like sort of don't fuck with Chris Stapleton that's so crazy no they know hate no she know nothing it's just like I don't know why we haven't clicked and I think you need to work on the click I know because one day I'll watch this back and be like that's so crazy and like the thing is I know that he's amazing everybody loves him like right I think a lot of times like he has transcended genres like everyone in the industry respects the fuck out of him and it's so rare that there's someone like that who's actually deserving of all that and he is like his voice is insane he does everything with his wife and I actually heard I only read this recently that you know he sings on stage every song with his wife right next to him and they just like stare at each other and he's like gets really nervous on stage that's why she like it's a part of it because like it helps with his nerves so cute no everything about him is amazing I have no faults except I don't know why they Spotify like never push him on to me oh really I find that he's like an industry plant I'm always I know all of his music me and Molly never saw it out like I have the opposite experience I

never saw it out and never found me joy of my life like they're so I know joy of my life I know joy the joy of my life vocal group of the year lady a little big town midland old dominion red clay strays I don't know midland was like still out there doing their thing and you know they have like a hot couple of years where's raffle flats they're busy putting the industry on their back literally and they released you at like they're still working like it's disgusting no wonder why they want to quit the CMA is so fucking problem they're just every time every time we recap the nominations or the actual awards like they literally never cease to get it wrong it's so true okay those are like the big and the greatest act was the shabuzy a ratio of two thousand and like three like the way they went out of their way to give him no awards yeah the other category would be new artist of the year oh avery Anna Carter faith Emily Ann Roberts Tucker wet more Stephen Wilson Jr. well obviously we'll go to Stephen Wilson Jr. considering he's nominated in all the big categories
