♪ 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 and Happy Thursday. Hope everybody's having a beautiful start to the end of the week. Hey, Jacqueline Follet. - How are you? - I am good. - Turn to Lou. - And? - Turn to Lou. How are you? - Well, in the words of the principal from Mean Girls, my carpal tunnel's back. And let me tell you, I only get carpal tunnel when I'm pregnant. I got a very light the first time. I just remember like tingly feelings. Let me tell you the shit is fucking hell. You guys see me, you see like a model. - Beautiful girl. - You have no idea what's going on. - It's going on a shoot. Yeah, and I also have wet hair today. I don't know if I've ever, in the history of the show, done the toast with wet hair, but Jacqueline, I are both a photo shoot. - We're modeling for Judy. - And it's not just like we're models on a shoot. Like it's our shoot. - It's like a whole big affair. - We're gonna be on a shoot. - All day, hair maker. - I showered this morning and I was like, I'm getting a blow out in one hour. I'm not doing my hair. So I guess we're wet dog in it at the toast. - It's done in up to you. - I was in a claw clip, like a nice like, and then I saw the monitor here and I just looked bald. And I am that meme. Like what you think you look like in a slick black versus what you actually look like. I look like Jacob from Twilight, not Kendall Jenner. - The good thing is though, you have like beautiful, natural hair. Like you coming on here with a wet head is not brave whatsoever. - No, I didn't think it was brave. I wasn't looking much better than most people on their best day. - Wait, sorry, I've been meaning to ask you something. Will you sign my cast? - Of course. - We have a Sharpie in the building. - I don't know why we went. - We have a Sharpie. I don't know why we wouldn't. Yeah, what are you gonna write? Like don't write something mean. And you're pretty much the, I see you. You're plotting. - Before you asked, I was just gonna write like Jackie. - You are the probably only person who's gonna sign this? - I think I'll write. - There's your Sharpie. - Oh, silver perfect. - I think I'll write, put your phone down. - Jackie thinks I have carpal tunnel because I'm on my phone too much, which couldn't be further from the truth. I'm such a present person. It's common in pregnancy. Like I don't know what you're gonna tell you. - I think it's Blair, I think it's common in pregnancy. Obviously like your bones are going through it, but also you're on your phone more in pregnancy with your bones going through it thus. But don't put your, don't put that on my cat. - You don't put that on my cat. - Look, I'll get a new cat. I actually have two, I bought two. - Okay. - All right, an uplifting cat. - This was like my fucking dream. - I'll write an uplifting message of positivity. - I never broke any bones in like my adulthood, young adulthood, but all I wanted to was break up. - I really see it. - Shine on, dirty, I love that. A little autograph, of course. Shine on, dirty, shine on. I love that. - That's that beautiful. - Very empowering. - It's very beautiful. - And it's like subtle, you know. - I never broke any bones or anything like in middle school, but for some reason it was like my dream. - Yeah, I think everyone. - So like how the cats can be like asked about it. So I'm obviously like, I'm walking into the room, splint first, 'cause all people, oh my God, even when I walked in this morning, I was like, what happened to your hand? - What does this mean for the shoot? - I can take it off for the shoot, but honestly, that's it. - And then back on, right? - I don't think it would be good for, you know, the project we're launching for me to be there in a splint. Like I barely look good as it is with my pale skin and my big belly, like I'm not bringing a splint into the equation, but just know like I'm really suffering. And shout out to my carpal tunnel girl. It's like, people have carpal tunnel not pregnant. - Yeah, that's insane. - But they could take an Advil. - I was saying to Ben last night, what I would do like, crush up and snort an Advil, you guys, I needed it desperately. I love Advil. That's, you know, every pregnancy, again, I've only had two. Every time there's like one thing you really miss, it's Advil this time. I'm having so many things that just like pop an Advil. - Yeah. - I love an Advil, as the kids call it. - As they don't call it. - Today is Thursday, which doesn't mean much for the show. That's exciting. It gives us room to sort of freely create. - Which we love to do. - We've got stories. We love to do. - We do have stories. We have these new iPad cases. Just because now that we're nominated to be nominated for Golden Globe. - We have to elevate. - Everything is sort of leveling up around here. - And shout out to one of our listeners, Lauren Elizabeth, for saying. - Our loyal listener. - She was like, if you don't pick those fucking iPads up, I guess in our current setup, like our iPads lying flat, like you literally see the things we're reading and she's like, it's really distracting and ugly. So yeah, we got acrylic stands. - And that's just something that I think the Golden Globes would appreciate. - That level of detail and that level of creativity is definitely what they're looking for. And I think part of the reason why we were included on the list of potential nominees to be nominated. - But we were included for last year. So these acrylic stands don't count towards this year. - And it's an amazing that we were able to get on the list without such an important, crucial, sort of shining moment for us. - And if we don't get off the nominated to be nominated list onto the nominated, maybe next year we will, now that we have these stamps. - Maybe that's what was missing, getting us there. Maybe just another day being nominated. - Just another day, when do the Golden Globe nominations come out? - Oh, 'cause you know I was thinking. - We have to have a countdown to the day. - Not only that, like you know how everybody films themselves when they think they like might be nominated. Like we need to bring a camera crew. Because if we don't get nominated, it will be hilarious. And if we do, like we need that, it's January second, but it's also like the crack of "Dommel" we'll have to wake up early. - That's good, no, no. - We should get nobody to watch them live here. - No, no, no, we'll get together. - No, we have a TV, like. - It's January second though. - Oh, sorry. - We're on vacation. - We're off, I think, until like. - All right, so we'll have to wake up early and like go to your house. - Yeah, and don't look at your phone 'cause you know, like our hypothesis still text us. - No, no, we're watching it live, Jackie. - Oh, we're watching it. - Well, it happens in LA, I think. - I think that's Saturday. - That's weird. What is it, like 9 a.m.? Well, we'll be watching. - That's not really a long time, which is good because it gives us like a lot of time to really talk about this. - Also like to get over it. - No, 'cause if it doesn't happen, like then the fun is over. - It's so true. - So I wanna see the later, the better. - Mm-hmm. (laughing) - What else can I tell you? Sort of like nothing else, you know? It's all that there is. - No, and we have this photo shoot today and like, Jackie and I were discussing, you know, we often talk about our career set of glance. And I feel like we're very self-aware. We're actually very self-critical too. Of like, you know, why aren't we, you know, right there? - And the reason why Jackie and I, we've realized actually this morning, the reason why we will never be like at the level like that Alex Earl is at, it's because the amount of photo shoots that are required of you at that level is too much. We have a photo shoot this week and one next week. And when I tell you, it's ruined my entire month. - It's ruined and we haven't done a photo shoot. - Years. - In a year and it's the worst day. Like I don't know of other creators and models. - I think they love it. - I dread. - And that's what's so dread. - We're standing in our own way like the fact that this has been like a life-ruining. No, we knew this day was gonna come like for the last couple of months and it's ruined my life since I found out. - No, and the thing is like if things go well with our business. - We'll have to do more. - We'll have to do more photo shoots. - And I feel like that's where for me, I see the most potential in AI. Because I cannot, I don't know, obviously like the whole the insecurity element of it is huge. Like when I'm happy with myself, which is very rare, obviously it's a little bit easier. - It's better. - But it's still. It's not work I personally enjoy doing at all. And I feel that now I kind of realize like that's what's stopping us from reaching our greatest potential. - Yeah, and other creators have like so many photo shoots in their arsenal, you know, in like pictures to choose from and they're just always like posting stuff of professional photos. And like we have like I can recall two. - No, and it's like those two were the worst days of my life. - That's why we'll never be successful. Like honestly, this is our limit, our limitation. - Yeah, I draw the line at a photo shoot. Like it's true. - I just can't do it. - It's really true. Even when you do like a really high budget one where there's a million people there to pamper you and get the food, I'm sorry. - But you're the worst. - Yeah, right, the smaller the better we're in it out. - That's like how Kim has like her office and her studio and like it's all in house and she like goes and just shoots. - Maybe she also hated photoshoots and that's why she built that. - And then she brought them at home. Like I guess if we had like a photo shoot studio. - We would still hate it. - In our house, it would be better. - It would be better of course. - Not like the 40 minutes we have to drive today for our photoshoots. - Like we carpool though, because I'm not driving on the highway. - Models on duty today. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's why my hair is wet. And my carpal tunnel flaring out, but like the worst possible time. - Mm-hmm. - Like as if today could be more challenging for me emotionally and physically. I also have my carpal tunnel. Like you just can't make this shit up. This shit always happens to you guys. - Yeah. - And I want to shout out to our heart of hearing community because I've actually heard from them. They say Claudia in the studio, like you cover your mouth with the microphone and if you're reading lips, like it makes it very difficult. And I'm really struggling to balance between like wanting to be heard by my heart of hearing community and cover my double chin with the microphone. Cause like when my mic is like this, just know I feel insecure. When it's down here, it's some feeling good. So to the heart of hearing community, if you can't hear me today, it's because my hair is wet, you know? - Yeah. - Like I'm already dealing with a lot the carpal tunnel, the photoshoot. - But on close captions. - Yes, of course. - And help. - I'm aware and I'm working on it. I'm trying to do better. - Yeah, but like this is a feature, not a bug, you know? - The microphones in our faces. 1,000 person. I love that phrase. - I love that phrase. - Say it again. - Like it's a feature, not at a bug. - Right, like it's a positive, not a negative thing. - It's not something that went wrong. It's something that went wrong. - Something that went right. I gotta add that. I was here good phrases and then I have like a, I want to implement them into my life. - I think you have a list. - Because I mean, one that I've like really worked on, like adapting into my vernacular and I've used it a couple of times organically is stealing Peter to pay Paul. I love that little, like, limerick. - Yeah. - And it's not a feature. No, it's not a bug. It's a feature. I love that. It's good. Yeah, so this let me just adjust my microphone there we go Well, let's get into the story shall we?

We were in this studio talking about Joe Manginello's autoimmune disease Yes, we were talking about his forthcoming memoir called bloodlines where he would be talking about the autoimmune disease that he's been battling for the last Some years and now like some upsurps of the book have come out and It's tea especially is a relate to Sofia. Okay, because I was gonna say like I'm looking for things about Sofia Vergara in this book not necessarily his autoimmune disease So if like the big headline is about his disease um So for seven of the last 10 years he was secretly fighting mysterious autoimmune illness so virulent and nearly killed him And his new book which comes out October 13th He opens up about recovering from a health battle that led to major organ amputation and contributed to the end of his seven-year marriage to Sophia Vergara He says I can't believe I'm alive. I feel like I was reborn He said it started with excruciating abdominal pain that left him unneedable to walk as his digestive tract ulcerated along with fevers blistering Rashes headaches and fatigue. He even began bleeding from his rectum while still a newlywed. He said I was getting sicker and sicker Um, he talks a lot about like the medication the surgeries and all of that I know that you are curious about the rectal bleeding are of it all The rectal bleeding. The Sofia Vergara. Yeah, of course. He said as he cycled through hospital searching for answers His illness took a toll on his marriage, which he writes had quote become devoid of any emotionality whatsoever He claims in the book that Sofia refused to hug him even when he begged and that she ridiculed him for his five-pound chihuahua name bubbles Who was a sickly little pup that he had adopted in 2019 when man jinella was considering suicide He said I had to give my gun away because I kept thinking about it and then the dog came I went from being the patient to the caretaker and I guess she would make fun of the dog Um, the couple's dream of having a child together had also been dashed Sofia would later tell a newspaper that their marriage broke up because her husband was younger and he wanted to have kids And I didn't want to be an old mom But Joe says he gave up the idea because of his illness after failed IVF attempts led them to considering egg donors He said he didn't want to die and leave her with a child who wasn't biologically hers. Oh, wow That's heavy stuff that is he said writing this book was his way of correcting the record He said there were things said and printed about me that were false That's so interesting because I feel like and somebody who followed the breakup very closely because this at one point was my biggest celebrity crush um I don't feel like he came out looking like a bad guy at all I think it's like a very reasonable thing when you are dating an older woman who has kids and she's grown And you don't have kids like it's sort of a sticking point and if you're not willing to Change your mind, which you shouldn't if you feel strongly one way or the other I didn't think that but he came out looking bad So he feels like he needs to like vindicate himself when I don't really know what from what and I don't know They're like certain things in a marriage like I just feel like even in your memoirs should be off limits like I and it's so easy to like make her look like the bad guy when you're writing like I'm sick And I'm rectal bleeding and she's mean to me and it's like well I'm sure that's not like 100% what it was and you know when the refusal to hug is giving Carl in the kitchen like can I get a hug You know and it's like it's not the time for hugs. So no, I'm not refusing to hug you No, of course hearing that Lindsey wouldn't hug Carl like a little Lindsey's mean that sounds bad knowing the content Why the fuck would I hug you just like hash it out and now you're trying to like come like I don't want to just so annoying back Then like stop so there are I just citing that to show that there are instances where a hug is not appropriate No one like refusing to give a hug doesn't make you the bad guy Immediately, yeah, like there are instances where it's like you're - You shouldn't have asked. - Yeah, your hug out of here. - Yeah, so I feel like when you, and I feel like they had a real marriage, like even though it ended poorly or whatever, I feel like it was, I think that like, you do sort of owe your partner privacy, and this kind of like makes me not like him. - That's crazy, but when I do think back to like what the prevailing narrative was from like the end of their relationship, he did go on to date someone younger, and it did seem like, oh, if he wants kids, he can't have them with her, she doesn't want kids, so they're gonna split up. But that's like, you know, natural. - That's a very normal reason to break up with someone. That's better good. - Right, but he's saying that's not it at all, that he moved on from having kids in his own health issues. - Because it is health issues, and they were using an egg donor, and if they had a child together, it wouldn't be biologically hers, and he felt like-- - If he died, right, to her. - So why is the reason they broke up? He doesn't say that. - 'Cause there was no emotional issue. - Oh, right, 'cause she would hug him in front of the dog. And that's another, like she's a jokester. - One thing about Sofia Vergara, she's gonna make a joke. - She's gonna make a joke about that very, - She's gonna make a joke about everything. And like, she gets away with it 'cause she's so funny. But like, she definitely makes a fence of jokes, and I could see her doing that even more so in private about the dog, like-- - Yeah, I just feel like, I don't know, all of this seems like really low-hanging fruit to make people just like Sofia Vergara. Like, she wouldn't hug me and she made in front of the dog. And it's like, I'm kind of, I'm looking deeper. I'm not, I'm not believing everything Jo mentioned all is telling me about the marriage. - Maybe like, there's more in the memoirs where it's like, okay, that was like the worst point, and then, you know, it gets better, and we have, we're copacetic and she's a great woman, but like, that's some of the tea of like, what went wrong between them. - Yeah, and then I think also, like, I need to be very careful about how I say this. I think also, when you bring up your experience with suicidal thoughts and ideology, to make someone look bad, ideation, making that ideology, when you bring it up to make someone look bad, or like, I don't know, I don't like that. She was making fun of the dog. Not because the dog saved you from suicide. Like, it's probably like a barking little raft. - Of course. And it's like, I just feel like it's kind of a manipulative way to talk, because he did go through that, and that's valid, and we can talk about that. But to bring it up in the, that was before he even knew Sofia Vergara. So like, to bring it up in the context of the dog in Sofia Vergara is a kind of manipulative. - I would agree with that, because there's nothing you can say. It's a conversation under, and it's like, of course, this dog saved her life, which it undoubtedly should be. - Like, giving the dog, like, you know, all the kind of world. - Which, but that isn't me when the dog piece on the curtains that we can't make a joke about the dog. - Yeah, it feels, and perhaps he goes into more detail on it that's like, makes it look better in the book, but like, just this excerpt. It's like, it's just like you threw it in there to make her look even worse. - Yes, but the crux of the book is really about his body failing. Everything he went through in the last seven years is desperate search to find a cure, and also to find a diagnosis. - Right, right. 'Cause it sounds like he really went through it. - But it sounds like the part about Sofia Vergara he's using for publicity, which I don't like either, 'cause like, that's the big excerpt, you know? It's like, all about his chronic illness, but the excerpt he chooses to lead the press with is the one about Sofia Vergara. - That's what the press wants. - I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, like, yeah. - I mean, like, kind of turning on my celebrity crush. - Yeah. - I don't know how my current celebrity crush is. Oh, sorry, it's Belmont, Malay. - Oh, that's great. - And who's kind of coming back into my heart? We've had, like, sort of a complicated relationship. He's been-- - John Mayer. - No, he's out. Like, only because that's not to be the Xomii. And like, I just don't longer find him attractive. Like, when I see videos of him singing from like, when he was in his 20s, like, yeah, that's my boyfriend. But now, like, kind of looks like a mobile head. Like, I'm good. No, you know, who's come back into my life in like, in a real major way. And he almost never left. But like, I don't know, my opinions on him sort of, like, fluctuate it over the years. - Yeah. - He's like, literally my original boyfriend. - Joe Jonas. - Yeah. - That's good. - Let me tell you, he was in my dream last night. Everyone knows. That's good, 'cause you were-- - I was like, off the Jonas Brothers and him in particular for a while, 'cause he did on "Follow Me" on Instagram. Like, I just think, I don't come up with these things for no reason. Like, you get on my list for a reason. Joe Jonas was the first celebrity to "Follow Me" on Instagram. And when I tell you, nothing in the world met more to me. - The world. - Nothing in the world met more to me that Joe Jonas followed me on Instagram. - And nothing hurt more than when he unfollowed her. - Especially because it wasn't like we had this-- we had no relationship. Like, when he was doing DNCE, like, he vetted me to this little private concert. Like, we haven't seen we were friends, of course, but like, we were colleagues. And he unfollowed me, I'm sorry. And I don't even know when it happened. I realized, like, months later, I didn't check. I just got so comfortable knowing that I didn't have the unfollow app. - No, I did it. And it was really-- - Got so comfortable. - I did. - You took it for granted, me. - I think it took me, like, years, honestly, to get over it. - Maybe. - And of course, when Harry Styles follows you, I should check if he still does. I'm like, my content is so, like, mama. - You don't want to know. - My content is so-- - Let's have you check-- he did. - Oh, have I done this before? - Yeah. - My content is so different than, like, the girl he followed. I wouldn't even-- why would he be following a mama? Like, you know what I mean? - Well, he is. He likes to move like a mama. - There I am. - He likes to move like a new mama, doing press from home. - Yeah, he does. - He finds a force of inspiration. - I was going to say, maybe my lifestyle is inspiring to him. - Yeah. - All right, at least we'll have that. And like, Joe Joe just never followed me back on Instagram. But, you know what? I can be unbiased enough to say, like, when I see videos of him singing, I'm like, that's my fucking king right there. He's so handsome, and he's so talented. And I love them. I do. I'm back on the Jonas Brothers. - I love it. - Yeah. - Hey, Jonas. - I'm holding space, you know? (sighs) Things can change. - And I think it's like a Golden Globe nominated nominee. I should be supporting like all fellow podcasters. 'Cause that's what they want, you know, the creative arts. - Well, like, not the ones that aren't on the list. - Oh, and hey, Jonas isn't on the list. - They will be soon. They're doing work really well. - Yeah, we're sort of like a list supremacists. (laughs) Even though you don't know a half of that monologue. They're all beautiful in their own way, and I truly would be happy for any of them. - We should throw a party, like, for everyone on the list. - Yeah. - They will be like, who are these girls? - Like, what list? (laughs) (laughs) - I mean, I know what else on the list, like even knows that the list-- - He's talking about it, cares about it. - Absolutely. - But it might also be because like, they get this stuff all the time. - Some of them. Like, yes, smart lists, they've all been nominated for like Oscars too, 'cause they're like actors. But I think like probably Jason and Travis are like excited about this. - No, they get, he they want a Super Bowl, and they get stuff all the time, and they have 100 million dollars. - A war's like in the Hollywood? - 100 million dollar Amazon deal. Like, and Taylor gets every award. It's sorry, it's not as big of a deal to them. - You think like-- - There were a couple like new names on there that maybe they get really excited. I don't know where I'm going to go. - I feel like if you get excited, like, you're not getting nominated, do you know what I mean? - That's how we used to keep it in our pants a little bit. - I seriously can't, not even try. - Yeah, and I also just feel like, it's about this moment, you know. It's not even about the nomination. - It's about what the nomination represents. - It's about the fact that we were nominated and the fact that we were nominated. - Are you ready for our next story, which I'm becoming obsessed with? And I'm actually rather shook, because the beef between Dave Portnoy and Bailey Taylor has intensified. - Oh my God, and you know what? I watched this whole saga, and I was really shook. - I was really floored. - We could go back and forth about who invented what? - I'm glad we discussed it last week, so you all have the context. - The context. - Bailey from Summer House, ever been-- - It girl, verse, it girl, Bailey from Summer House. It started this series before she was on Summer House called It Girl. Years ago, she said the bar stool account called It Girl. It was copying her as we've said. That's just like a pretty generic phrase. And as Dave said in his video yesterday, like, Bailey Taylor was a nobody. He actually said that's an insult to no bodies. - He was really mad. - And he was like, how can we copy someone that we don't even know? - Right. - And he's standing like tentos down that they had never heard of her. She had no influence on their decision to rebrand their page from chicks to It Girl. Like she said, seriously, no impact. The fact remains, he's not changing his tune on that. But I guess the two of them have spoken. They were DMing and Dave made a video T by the sea. - He made a sharing the messages. - Yeah. - Because the messages are shocking. - The messages are shocking. - And I didn't know people still spoke like this in 2026. - They did. - But the thing is they don't. - And that people still actively beef like this. And everything that Dave said is like, who Dave is? Who we know Dave is? And like, part of the Dave Pax is whether they have accepted him or rejected him. - True. - He is speaking as Dave Pax. - This is so shocking. Because this is Bailey from Summer House. - The way that Bailey from Summer House is speaking, I'm-- - And as far as we know, based on the screen shots, she messaged him first. - So she messaged him with a sending the video of Who's Your It Girl? Which is the Who's Your It Girl has started this summer. - It's a very red carpet video that's like taking the world by storm. - And she said, where did you get the idea Dave all caps? And he goes, you may be the biggest brain dead moron I've ever met. And she goes, fuck you ugly fat pig. You stole my shit. Hold on. You should go to a doctor for brain damage. She said, you can tell it to my lawyer. He writes back crying, laughing emoji. - Cause that's great. - That is, no, no, like what you're gonna sue him for what asking a question. She said, I've had it for three years, dumb, dumb. All you do is talk about Summer House because you have no relevance anymore, embarrassing. She said, also in the video recording, you see text from Ryan Fran popping up. - Oh, that's funny. I did see that part. - Yeah. And then he said, every word you say makes you seem infinitely more idiotic. And I already thought you were one of the dumbest humans alive. She said, and this is a type, these are a lot of typos. So I'm gonna tell you what she meant. - Yeah. - If people had the worst public opinion of me, they have a view, I couldn't live with myself. You should be deeply ashamed. And by the way, it's a, you should heed deeply ashamed. She's sending, she's firing these awkward messages. - No, her messages were difficult too. - To say for, what's with the typos? Get it together. You're feuding with one of the biggest feudsters on Earth. You need to ring your aching. - Talk to text. - Yeah. - And get out of the sun, you're turning purple. Salad slash veggie is good for the heart, she says. He said, I like the sun, but you should seek legit mental health. She said, it's an identical copy. What are you even claiming here? Ignorance? They're identical. Or you're pretending you started it first and hadn't launched it? What's your defense? He goes, you'll see my defense when I post a video. Making you look like the delusional psychopath you want. again and my views roll in. Thanks for the easy content. She goes, "You're doing the exact same thing down to the logo. You need the views. The page is a flop and so are you. The internet didn't side with you before and they won't now. Overweight, demented fucking loser. I just need you guys to know also. It girl has two million followers." He said, "Can I ask you a question? How many cats do you have? She goes zero." Why is she even fucking answering that question? No, this is like a weird conversation. Weird conversation. Wait, wait, wait. And she goes zero. He goes liar. She goes, "How many people actually respect you?" Oh, wait, I'm losing it. I'm losing it. Hold on. I've got to bring it back up again. You guys, you need to be serious. Yeah. I'm sorry. The way it ends is probably the craziest. I didn't know these sorts of things were happening anymore. I'm holding down the video, you know. Yeah. Back to your purple. You're turning purple. I can go two times speed. He just a flop. Zero cats, liar. She says, "How many people actually like you in respect to you with zero? I have 500 messages calling you scum which you are. Why wouldn't you apologize and fix it? Who wants to be remembered like this? It's shameful and sad. I genuinely feel sympathy for having reputation like that. Do some good. Fuck donate the money from the big girl page. Do some kind of charity like I do. Do some good with it. If you're going to be so vile, donate to a women's charity. Literally repent for some of your terrible bullshit. Make it about caps, women's sports, and donate to a scholarship and I'll leave it alone." He said, "You don't exist to me." She said, "I clearly do. You're so desperate. You have to copy my exact model and verbiage." He said, "Well, you DMed me." She said, "It's so fucking embarrassing. Donate some money because you won't stop copying me. I want you to change it or donate to a woman's charity breast cancer, a female sports scholarship, anything. You want to ask people who their ultimate it girl been doing it for three years, at least do some fucking honor. We donate to the LES Girls Club. You should too." Lower your side. "Doesn't have to be public in any way. If you tell me you've done it, I'll believe you and it can be a wash." She really goes through a rollercoaster of emotions in this shot. Are you still talking? You are a bit character on a reality show. Get over yourself. Go by seven more cats and she said you're a fat loser. The fat shaming is crazy. I didn't know we were still doing that. So Dave did sort of open up with that kind of language. Like he started it. Of course, you're a fat loser and can only get girls 20 years younger because he is rich in the world, despises you, what a legacy. Pure shame to be associated with you. Donate something to do some good. So like the donation part is sort of what gets me because I don't really understand why it's relevant. And it's a little performative. I feel like at that point, she like do the messages, we're going to get screen shoted. So she can come out looking like a hero. Donate to a breast cats or charity. And the thing is about Dave Portner. You can actually criticize him in many ways, but he's extremely charitable. There's not one more charitable. It's true. He donates a lot of money that are in small businesses. And there's a pretty good record of that. So it's just like a bad call on her part. And it's also objection relevance. What does charity have to do with literally this? You don't have to post it. Just tell me and it'll be a wash. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Like what on earth? First of all, this saga is so stupid. Yes, the original sin is nothing at all. But the way that she's talking to them. And I've always liked her on summer house. I thought she's like just like rational and the cool girls girl and just like relatable and got it together and like someone that I would, you know, chitchat with whatever. These DMs are the ravings of a crazy person. Yeah. Like his DMs are Dave Portner. And that's how we know how we talk. And I would expect nothing less from him. Her, who talks like that? And the ageism, the fat shaming. Yeah. We don't talk like that. And especially if you want to be like, so you're better than him. You're calling him all the, then she made a follow up video calling him like an array of alleged harass or alleged rapists. And so like, you're the better, more moral one of the two of you. And you're talking like that? Yeah, it's very incongruous with the girl we've gotten to know. Now, I guess she's really been on one season and like, she really wasn't a main character. So how much could we know her? But I see her on social media a lot. And I don't know. I just thought, I just thought as I can never see her talking like this. So then she posted a video responding to him. And she said this is like the last time she's going to bring it up. Was she this in the back of the car? In the back of the car. Yes. She had a photo shoot that day. So my, yeah, she was in full glam with her. My heart goes out to her. A fellow model. Yeah. And, and I just thought it was the whole thing, the ravings of a crazy person. Let me pull up the video. How do you find such a thing? It wasn't in her stories. Maybe it's in her stories. Okay. Or it was a TikTok. So we're going to call this T by the B because we can just steal people stuff these days. I never said I invented it. He keeps saying that because the only thing people agree with him. I didn't invent it. I have made a living, however, long before I was on TV and I did have a following. I've been an influencer for years full time. So I was made a living for years. I did invent going on carpet and asking celebrities for their ultimate. It is born out of wanting to create a space in media where women say something nice about each other. That is literally where I came from. I don't know where his came from, probably out of his ass. He is an alleged rapist. I want no one to forget that. He is an alleged predator. I don't take back a single word I sent him and everything you said that I said was nasty. I wish I was 10 times last year. I think personally that man is a disgusting low life who should be in jail for what he did to other women. So that's my thoughts. I'll never talk to him again about him again. Forget it. I don't get nothing. Anybody has to say to me? To me about it. Change. I am welcome to the echo. Oh, I actually didn't watch the whole thing. It's crazy. Yeah. What do I want to say about this? Let me think. I'm not. Yeah. Just like she shouldn't start stuff. You can't finish. You know what I mean? And so I feel like she started this thing years ago. It backfired on her completely. And now she's like more well-known because of summer house. People love this sort of story. They love creators. Copy creators. It's easy to pick a fight with a partner because so many people dislike him and they're going to be like, yeah, I'm with Bailey just just for the sake of being against a partner. I don't think it went the way that she expected it to. So now to be like, I'm never talking about this again. It's like, okay, well, you were no one's talking about it before. So sure. Yeah. And just like to use like, I don't know, I just feel like she's not no longer making an argument about like the it girl. We're not talking about the thing anymore. And the thing is like, yes, maybe that's her thing to go and ask people on red carpet. It's like, who's your it girl? But like two people can have that same thought without them having copied. Yeah, she sort of just like is insisting on being validated in that one sense. And he just won't even acknowledge that like their creative has anything to do with her. And that's a kind of all she wants. She'll go away if they just acknowledge it. And donate to a charity. Right. I just I think it's so thin. So many times like something we say or something that other people start saying, I would never go to war with someone over that. No, I say a lot of times. I just I see people like we're generating thoughts that I've had on my court. I'm wondering if because I know that that person like listens to the show. So I'm like, I wonder if they're just like agreeing with me using my take or they came up with it on their own. It's not like entirely unique. They heard your take. They agree with it. And now that's their take. Like I just don't think everything is so deep. I think people can have like shared thoughts. It's not that big of a deal. And you certainly shouldn't go to war with everyone. Yeah. You think stole a caption from you. And the last person you want to go to war with is Dave Fortnoy. Yeah. That's the last person. Yeah. Even his tea by the sea account, which is just like him ranting from his chair as a hundred thousand dollars. He doesn't even post it to his deep. I went looking for this video and I couldn't find it because like every like he has so many fans. Like he goes so hard. He has receipts. Like he has nothing to hide. No, he doesn't. I just I don't think it was a good look for her. And it just showed her in the light that I just a different life. I'm sorry. The fat shaming. Yeah. Not cool. The body shaming and the ageism. And then then you're like, well, I created this space for women to compliment one other. So I call everyone fat. No. And like, why are you being nasty? Yeah. No. And that's not that doesn't look good for women the way that you're speaking. I know. And it is giving like emotional, you know, like, do you know what I mean? Like, I know she's on a car. Yes. She was like, I felt like she was going to cry or something. It was just I feel I agree. Like, not a good look for women. Yeah. That's how I feel. Yeah. It's not to use the E word. She said she's done talking about it. If you guys won't continue, like I'm enjoying. I'm here watching. And I'm open to new perspectives. Like, nobody has provided proof. And I need to see these, um, these allegations of the caption stealing. Uh-huh. Maybe they're out there, but they haven't come across my desk on Reels. The caption stealing. If you have more evidence to provide, I'd be happy. And it's like, what's the caption? I'd be happy to take a look. What's the caption? Cheers to the freaking weekend. You know, you can't own that. You can't own the weekend. So like, yeah, maybe, but did have the same caption. I need to know the caption too. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Of course. Yeah. Like Charleston, you look gorgeous tonight. Right. What's the cap? There are some just phrases that are like royalty-free. Like nobody owns them. Yeah. Public domain. We honestly shouldn't be proud that we're using them. It's a, it's literally a shame. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Which I think you'll find interesting. Bobby bones details. How dancing with the stars allegedly decides performance order. Okay. He said the network would kill him for sharing this. And one thing that Bobby bones is like, he doesn't give a fuck about dancing with the stars anymore. Like he hates everyone there. He hates the fact that he won. He hates the pros. He hates tumblers. he returned to his Maribal, he hates the fans, like he hates everyone involved. So I love someone who has nothing to lose. - So I also didn't fully understand. I thought like he was did really good and he just happened to win and there was someone who was like better who didn't win. But apparently a low score is all season. He scored the lowest of the final four in judges, but he had the most fan votes and that's why he won. So it'd be like Guillermo winning. - Yeah. - Certainly not the best answer. Milo and Whitney, I've seen some of their dances. They're amazing, like Jordan Fisher level and it would be as if Jordan Fisher didn't win because someone's just more popular one. - Yeah, I guess it reminds me of Whitney last season who was the best dancer and didn't even make the top four. Like, and we're okay, like-- - Yeah, and we are okay. - Like, everybody needs to come down. - Milo should have gone to Chicago. - I have seen some of the sides of the fan base I'm dancing with the stars and I think a lot of the OG fans feel very territorial of the show and they don't like these new fans who come in and don't know how to vote. Like you're not supposed to vote 10 times if you wanna give someone an A, you know, like they're so ballroomed. - Not just sending the voting system. - Yeah, no, they're just like crazy and I think they're really conflicting with the new fans who are just like here to have fun. - No, and also when someone gets cast, it's with the hope that they will bring their fandom to the show to get more viewers for the show that you love so that the show that you love can air and have advertisers. - Yeah, there's like a very territorial nature when it comes to old fans versus new fans and I think like the old fans who were around and yes, you guys were around long before we were. You cared about the pros long before we were. Good for you. You guys are like a little, a little crazy. Like, and I think you are just like, tinged so seriously and I saw Fabula. He was like, on his podcast, he was such a good call. He was like, I just feel like a lot of the reactions and like the, take away from the fact that like, I'm literally dancing in a pink suit. Like I'm supposed to be having fun and it's like, yeah, so people are really like making this not fun. - Yeah, that's why if I were on hands with the stars, I would not look at anything anyone is saying. - Yeah. And we forgot to recap Fabula's dance. - Oh my god, that was not a slide. - No, not at all especially 'cause I wanted to say, it was like really the first time I was like, oh okay, he's improving, he's doing really well and I think I wrote in our chat, like, I think I ship. - Oh yeah. - And they, 'cause they both are like young and they both seem like they have a little bit of awkwardness about them that. - They're a good match. - That like, because they've been put together, they are comfortable with one another. - She's a boyfriend. Like a long term, she's like a Mormon swirly. Like, they're probably getting, he's like on mission or whatever, you know, like. - Well never mind. - And I agree that Fabula, I wanna give him his proper, his dance was so good. I love to see him as a leading man. He talked about that on his podcast too, that his mom texted him being like, you weren't leading. Like you weren't leading. So I think he was like really in his head and he was, and it was like a sexy dance. And think about Fabula, I see him as a friend, a little brother. Girls like love him. I think he's like very attractive to young Gen Z girls. So for him to be doing like a sexy dance, he was not going home, like the girls, they were his fans were flipping. - His sexy dance was for Gen Z. What Tyler Cameron? - Yes, exactly. - Like his fans were flipping. - Yeah. - The sexy song in the beginning and then the worm. - He's hips moved. - The hips. Did you see Guillermo doing it? He copied. He did it with Fabula, like the Thalva in the beginning. It was hilarious. Sorry, Bobby Bones. - Bobby Bones went on, and I also want to say like, it's amazing that Bobby Bones has that many loyal fans. Because everyone who comes on the show is a star. But to have so many actual voting fans that will propel you way past your score, more than me, Milo, like more than Alex Earl, even didn't even come in first place, even though she's like the most popular influencer. Like shout out to Bobby Bones. - Yeah, I think when we talk about like the greats of radio, we always, of course, like go to Howard Stern. Bobby Bones really often doesn't get his flowers, but he's huge. - Did you also see Howard Stern? - Oh. - Did you see Bobby Bones also shared recently that he has coxidenia? That came across my desk. I've been meeting him talk about that. - And where do you think he heard the term? - His wife. - From his wife, who's a toaster? - Who's listening to the toaster? I'm just saying Bobby Bones is coxidenia. - Did you see Howard Stern shading dancing with the stars voters? - Our job. - No, no, no, no. He said, because he said he thought it was like, so lame, that Sarah Jane and Haley Bills got out the first night, 'cause he was like, who doesn't wanna see two hot girls dancing? - Oh, not him rearing his like old ugly head. That's something like old Howard, like from the 90s would say. - He's like purvy. - Ew. - He's like, we're not watching dance with the stars as perverts. Like, we're just-- - This is like dancing with the perverts. - It's not like a sex show. - That's a really weird thing to say about like two young girls. - Oh, and he said it multiple times. And then he said-- - I didn't see any of them. - And then he said, who even votes on dance with the stars? If you vote on dance with stars, you have no life. - Oh my God. - That a life. - Cancel how it fucking stern. - It was so crazy. He thinks like the voting public of dancing with the stars are like the biggest losers on the planet. - That's like a ass. - It was so rude. - That a life. And that we're all losers for sending home Sarah Jane and Haley. - You know what's funny? I actually thought it was like quite unique of people to be able to send home Haley and Sarah, because she is so pretty. They're such a great duo. Like, they could get by on how Guillermo gets by on like being cutesy and old. They could be by being young and pretty skinny. - Yeah. We were able to see tears there, look. - I think it speaks to the evolution and the intelligence of the dancing with the stars voting community. - Like we're not on the end or thoughts of you like, hot girls. - Two girls. - Oh my God, I hate that. And I very rarely like to be immediately disagree with Howard Stern. I feel like ever since I read his book, I like actually really respect him. And it's like, you know what, say nearly. - Yeah. - Leave dancing with the stars to us. The Golden Globe nominated nominees. Okay. - But here's what Bobby Bone said. - On a recent episode of the, he said, G said podcast. Oh, you know whose podcast that is? - He said G. - He said G said. - Letter G. - Letter G. - Whose letter G? - Vinny Guadagnino. - No. - Who's Guillermo? - No. - Who's on this podcast, Bobby Bone? Who would he be talking to? - Don't think about it that way. - Okay. - It's a reality couples podcast. He said. - Juliana Rancek? - No. - Oh. - That's a good guess. - Yeah. - Let me make sure this is the right podcast. - Because I'm doing good guesses. - Yep, yep, yep, yep. - One of my favorite reality couples who came from different reality universes. - Ballacala. - Ballacala and Giannina. - They're having a baby, right? - They're having another baby, yeah. You could have a play date with them. - I'm good. - I'll set it up. He went on the, he said G said podcast. - That's random. - Yeah. - I'm cracking up. - He said G said. I love the title. - It's a good name. - I love it. They should be nominated for a nominee. - No, they shouldn't. It's obviously a very hard special thing. This fucking brace is really pissing me. I'll be thinking I should get a little break. - Sure. It's probably all the bracelets don't help. - I know. - You should also take off your bracelets in pregnancy, just be free. - Really? - Yeah, I took off all my love bracelets. Well, when I was getting my shirt clogged out and I had to smack on, I was actually gonna put them back on. - Oh my God, it's feels insane. - You got the prices for yourself. - No, I'm fine right now. Okay, we have got to get to this story. - He said G said. What did he say when G said? - Come on. - I'm gonna tell you what he said, G said. And then I wanna know what he said, C said. - Okay. - He said that the network would probably kill me for saying this, but they had asked, he and G, asked how the order goes. - Right. - And he said that it's not. - He said that's such a good question. He launched into his theory that the network is very intentional about which celebrity and dance pro pairings they put at the top and the bottom of each hour, of each hour, the beginning hour. If they're putting you at the top of the hour, that means they want you to be seen. He claimed that they take into account the people who are flipping off of other channels when their show was over at like nine o'clock and then they're coming dancing with the stars. If they're watching linearly through television, if they left one show and they're coming over to watch in that second hour and you're the first person that they see. He said, so their strategy involved with who they put at the top of the show and who they're putting at the very top of that next hour and who they're putting at the end as well. - Yeah, I think if you're at the end, I've always felt that you're not even remotely at risk for going home. So the fact that you have the least amount, like as we're fraqlet went last last week and Moira went home. So I always feel like you're not even close to being out, so you're not gonna get such a disadvantage by being last. - But I also think everybody has to go last at some point. - Yes. - But the way they order the rest of it, he said he doesn't think it's necessarily about who's expected to win, but might instead be influenced by popularity and like drawing viewers in. I would love to know who was at the top of the second hour, like who are names that like if you flip on over and dancing with the stars. - Well, now I'm gonna be aware of it. - Yeah. - Because it does, when I'm watching the episode over the course of the two hours, it is a bit of like a peek in a valley. Like sometimes I'm like, there's a couple of people. I'm like, oh, and then towards the end, we're getting closer to the elimination. Like you perk back in and you get more excited. So yeah, I think it's also like, there's an emotional element to it too. - Yeah, he said they're showing those people off on purpose. I've never actually talked about that, but they do put you in places for that reason, which is also I think surprising why Sierra went home on the night where she went first. - I am more so curious about how they decide who gets what song. I heard like theories that it has to do with your scores from the prior week. Like if you had a really good score, you get a really good song. - That's fair, 'cause like they would like-- - Rewarding performance. - Right, there's no proof of that, but I thought that was like a good theory. - That is a good theory and sometimes they get to pick. If it's like a very wide, like I think like for TikTok night or whatever. - Or like if you have a real personal connection, like Harry Shum Jr. being in the music video. - Yes, like no, from Mariah Carey night yet, they're probably doling out songs, but the first night when it was like songs from the year you were born. - Oh yeah, and Anthem that represents your life. - You got to pick and I think I'm like TikTok night, you would get to pick whatever viral night song. - Yeah. - Like why not pick? - Within limits I know from mass singer that you're really not allowed to perform a song that somebody else has performed. Sometimes they make exceptions, but if it's been danced to, like you probably can't do it. And a lot of songs like Don't Get Cleared Legally, like the artist doesn't want their song on. - Yeah, that makes sense. - Stupid idiots, but yeah. - Stupid idiots can never be me, but yeah. - So that's what he said on G said with, that's what he said on G said. - That's what B said on G said. And that's what J and C said about B on G said. - And that's how Sue sees it. - Are you ready for our fourth story? - If it's our fourth story that's brought to you by parallel. So parallel is a brand for women. We love them. I take their prenatal vitamins. If you're looking for a prenatal, if you're looking for just supplements for the conception journey, we really recommend parallel. They're an amazing brand for women. They have great ingredients, great options. And I'm on the second trimester prenatal pattern. So, I really like what's different about it is that they have different vitamins for different phases of pregnancy. Even so, you're not taking the same thing the entire pregnancy. The first trimester, second trimester, and third trimester. I'm loving my second trimester. There's two magnesium. One's in there and you guys know, like magnesium is the most important thing in my life when it comes to sleep, when it comes to my leg cramps. So, I think that it's just like a really premium alternative to the typical prenatal. You're also in a second pregnancy, you're just like doing more and I think that it's like even more aware of what I'm putting into my body because I do need to feel my best. Parallel was found to buy an OB/GYN. It's the trust that I think with parallel that definitely got me to successfully switch. They do the homework so you don't have to.

Our next story, a little Instagram romance, I guess, Alex Earle was called Liking Bracks in Barrios Photo. I don't know what to think here. And Megui liked it too. Yeah, Megui liked it too. And based on what we've seen in recent weeks, like him and Megui seem to be going at it and based on what we saw on Earle Beach World, which is old, is that like Alex seems to be pining for Bracks. So based on the information that I have, which is limited, it's that like Alex is still pining for him. And did you see Ashley Dupree? What did my queen do now? She shared this story. It was actually very sweet. You know, they live in New Jersey and they were talking about Penelope. Ashley was like, "I just wanted to show this nice story." I think that maybe the family feels like they weren't 100% fair to Bracks into the TV show, especially when they said that like Thomas texts him and he doesn't answer. And that was like the one thing Bracks had responded to because I think, you know, whatever happened between him and Alex, I think he has a lot of love for the family. Yeah. So she made this video just to like maybe like curry favor with Bracks and so Ashley was based like, you know, Penelope, she, her whole group of friends is guys, like she's one of the guys. You know, she is like kind of a tomboy. And for one, yes, for one of their birthdays like the party was a Giants game. Bracks and Pays on the Giants now. And Penelope actually like texted him or maybe Ashley did being like, you know, Ashley Penelope is one of the game, like she would really love to see you. Oh, it was a part of birthday party at the Giants. Yes. Okay. So I made sure to say like Penelope is like, not like other girls, you know? And Penelope would love to see you like can she text you and like maybe after the game or something, just like me, you and he did and he was like really speed about the whole thing. It was like a very nice video that Ashley made. Just to sort of like maybe get people off Bracks and back a little bit when it comes to the kids. So I don't feel it. I think the show made Bracks and look amazing like, oh, one dozen percent boy friend who you will never get over. Yeah. We'll never find anyone like it. Even if you are not in a place to get married or have a serious relationship right now, like you should really think twice before breaking up with the perfect guy. Agreed. And even when like Thomas said Bracks and answer me like, I didn't feel like, oh, he's ghosted Thomas. I just felt like maybe he didn't answer you yet. Yeah. You know, like, I didn't think anything wrong. I don't think they need to even do repair. But I think considering he did this nice thing for Penelope like as she's way of repaying him. It's like letting people know that he was a good guy. He's a really good guy. Yeah. I don't think her liking her for his photo means anything. Well, she had followed him like went a while ago. So like she's, but she followed it back a while ago too. Did she? Like the first photo that she's like chief actively follows him because it's like crazier. She doesn't follow him. And the photo was just like him thinking God. I do think that these two either, and as far as I know, Bracks and it's like not interested in getting back together. And Alex had said on the show that he always said like he would never get back together with somebody who broke up with him. That's sort of just like a personal boundary of his. That's not follow Bracks. So. Oh. Oh. So what is she trying to say that she, like, that's like how you slip in. You're opening the door. Yeah. I'm going to like a photo like. I need to sort of like shit or get off the pot. Mm-hmm. Like I want them to get back together and I actually think now that I know Alex, like this is exactly what she needs. So the post, I think we need to be read more of the post. I thought it was just a quote about God. But then there's more to it, which is that he needs surgery that will end his season. Two of his last three seasons ended this way and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't sad right now. So this is her, like, just supporting him in a time of need. And that's just like her being a bigger, bigger person. I agree. It means nothing. Maybe they are helping you recover. Just fight everything that's happened between us. I'm sorry. This happened to you. Megui is the best. That's just like her being mature. Megui is dressed up in the candy strippers. Yeah. Okay. Well, sorry that happened to your knee. Like, we didn't even know that. Yeah. I just feel like Braxton should call a quits with football. Like, it's sort of just like not meant to be. And I think he like will have a successful career as a businessman. People really like him and want to work with him. He's also like an investor. He's one of the p. As it marks. Yeah. I mean, he does like a lot of investing too. He's fine. But everyone who's an athlete like has a lot of money, so they invest some and some people lose it all. Whatever. I think he has like good sense. And I think like he's a good. I think people just like working with him. I think it'll also end up getting some sort of like broadcasting contract just because he's like more famous than the other running backs or whatever his job is. Like, he has a lot of Instagram followers. He's a lot of recognizable. He's like a very like public figure for the level of player he is. Like, he would wind up being someone who has a bigger broadcast career than football. Yeah. I'm open. Which is like, weird Tom Brady does. I mean, he has experience, podcasting like on Get Real, on who, what's it called? Hot mess. Hot mess. Those were the days. Okay. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Speaking of football, Disney+ will be streaming the Super Bowl for the first time in 2027. That's the. Also on cable, that's like sort of the beauty part. ESPN and then Disney Plus will also stream it. So we can still watch on cable per usual. But, you know, international audience cable cutters, cord cutters, NFL is obsessed with growing their international audience because it's such an American sport. Football is actually like a meat and other thing. They don't want football. They want, they, no, sorry, they don't want football. They want football. But the NFL wants football to be football. Right, and they're really trying. They have those, they force the players to fly to Australia. Like it's so cool. And I guess this is like another step in that. When I first thought, I thought it was instead of cable. And I'm like, the Oscars are going in that flex. Like what, like seriously, what's the point of cable? I happen to like, big events being on cable. It just feels like so old school. Yeah. And it's like commercials written like, what do you see commercials when you watch? Because the whole thing with the Super Bowl is the commercials. When you're watching it as they plus. I think the commercials stream too. Like the whole broadcast, it's one big broadcast. You think? But a lot of commercials like, you can't stream commercials because a lot of them are like regional. That's true. And also it's like, I pay for no ads. What the hell is this? It's like, when I'm watching Jebri here, like I'm used to seeing like, shout A better in law. And she's like, coming up on the eyewitness news. And there's like some guy here, like, I don't, you know what I mean? So when you're watching even the same exact program in a different state, you get different commercials. Yeah. Even on the Super Bowl. I don't know how it will affect commercials. And that's sort of the best part. Well, I don't know. I good luck with your global endeavors. Like, I don't understand, I don't understand like by being the biggest thing in the entire country, like isn't enough for you. And you have to go places that you're not wanted. They're taking care of in terms of like seriously, the love you're looking for. It's like gratitude. The love for soccer worldwide is greater than the love of anything, any sport, anywhere else. Like you think that you can get a piece of that. Good luck to you. You can't. And you're also like for saking your fans that are here and do like you in service of like this global audience. We have not heard yet who the Super Bowl performer is. A couple of names. One every year, Miley, I'm so ready for a Miley Super Bowl. It almost feels like it's never going to happen just because of the joke. I don't think it's going to happen. You have to remember that Jay-Z is doing the halftime show and like he who are his friends. And like, it's going to be what he wants in. It's just like not swirly. It's not really. I feel that we went through actually an extremely swirly decade of Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Coldplay, when Pepsi, we had a swirly decade and now I feel it's not for the girls. No. And you're right. It's not going to be Miley. Who's going to be? Like get it out of your head. Like I have zero expectations. I know. Everyone we guess. Like it's literally never been anyone we guess. Who's having like a big year? Yeah. And it's not even anyone anymore. Seriously? Give it to Olivia Rodrigo. I know. I'm going swirly, but she would be great. It will never be. I know. I know. It will not be Olivia Rodrigo. It's not even someone who has a long standing career like a legacy artist. It's really someone like sort of trendy at the moment. We reach a certain level. Yeah. Like you come out of retirement, do you know what it should be? I mean, it won't be given like the, but we throw a lot of names around, of course, Pank Kelly Clarkson and Miley. The backstreet boys. They would be good. It wouldn't be. Yeah, no. I have no idea. And it's like not even worth guessing. We're always off by a lot. I'll go like release radar and I'll tell you it's going to be some like random. I mean, give it to Luke Holmes, Chris Stapleton. He was already in the building for the National Anthem. And they do like to pluck people who've done like the other musical acts like Lady Gaga did the anthem and then the, the bowl. That's what I mean. I'll do it. Like sure. Okay. I'll do it. Honeyjewing, I'm going to have a good time. I don't have the hands up. So that's sky. Oh, we going good. So tonight. Like, it's going to be jelly roll because don't you feel like jelly roll just keeps getting opportunities that he's like not really eligible for? Um, yes, but I would love for it to be jelly roll. I don't know that I would. Yeah. Really? I heard jelly rolls houses for sale. No, I'm not done with him. I was never like with him. You look at being. I would, like Justin Bieber. Yeah. I feel like it could be him. Yeah. You think you could also pluck from like the Coachella lineup. I feel like Jay-Z would choose him. And like he always sort of gets it together and pays out a performance. Coachella performance was like extremely well received. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Just take it time. Honey. I get it. I get it. I get it. I think Justin Bieber is interested in making money right now. So that he doesn't feel like a total dead bee compared to his wife. That's true. Okay. Having a billionaire for a wife was all fun and games until he works once a year and brings home like $15 million. That worked. That worked. That worked. So I actually think it could be him. Yeah. It would benefit everyone. And people would really like that. Yes. I wouldn't be over the moon. I wouldn't be pretty excited. But, but yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. Okay. That's our show.
