Earle Meets Earle: Friday, July 31st, 2026

The hosts share a heartfelt and reflective episode centered on a symbolic butterfly release ceremony, which they describe as both spiritually meaningful and ethically sound. The act of freeing the butterflies—guided by their animal rights values—embody themes of freedom, release, and renewal, marking a pivotal moment in their summer. They note that only one butterfly was lost, with the team choosing a respectful, peaceful approach by leaving a dead one on a leaf, allowing for natural healing. This event is seen as a meaningful milestone in their "swirly summer" journey, echoing the rhythm of seasonal transitions. The episode continues with lighthearted moments, including a fun drive, music discovery (especially Kelly Clarkson’s recent personal songs), and excitement about upcoming content with Miss Margo. The hosts also express strong personal opinions on media, such as their passionate loyalty to Taylor Swift and deep disdain for Katie Maloney, emphasizing their bias and emotional investment. They reflect on the challenges of media consumption, including platform access issues and online backlash. The episode concludes with discussions on major cultural trends, including Forbes’ list of top podcasters, where Ashley Flowers and Giggly Squad rise in visibility, and a focus on lifestyle brands like Lululemon and Primal Kitchen, highlighting products that support real, healthy living. Throughout, the tone remains warm, personal, and grounded in shared experiences, blending joy, reflection, and social commentary.

♪ Good morning girlies, it's the toast. It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast and happy Friday. That's right, pat yourself on the back. We did it. Ready for another swirly summer weekend. Hey Jackson, how you doing? I'm doing good. It's a beautiful day. It actually is a beautiful day, both in spirit and in physicality, because it's gorgeous out, but we also, we did something quite beautiful and cathartic this morning. Something very spiritual, and I actually think our outfits sort of embody what we did this morning. Very ethereal, very freeing. Born. Yes. Life. The official releasing of the hostages was this morning. We got, gave the butterflies their freedom. We had like a beautiful little ceremony in the driveway. Zach made a speech that like legit almost brought me to tears. He was like, he was joking, but I was like, wait, that's so beautiful. He was like talking to the butterflies, like wishing them luck on their journey and letting them know like, this is always their home. Oh my God, I literally got like choked up. That was so sweet. And it is always their home. They flew the coop and it was really, it was beautiful. Yeah, it was. And our resident animal rights activist. Approved. He was pleased with everything. Did it, was it up to code? I mean, we did lose one. We knew that there's been this like dead one, but it keeps like moving a little bit. So we didn't know if we should like throw it out or whatever. It was the last to leave because it's dead. And then Zach just like sort of picked it up and like left it on a leaf. Yeah. But it's like still moving a little bit. So we're just giving it space. Yeah. Give it space. Maybe it can heal itself. And I think that's really good is that we only had one casualty. Some people said they've done it and they've gotten no butterflies. But the kids were like, is he sick? Yeah. And I was like, yeah, he's sick. He's wounded. Yeah. He has a boo-boo. Yes. It was really amazing. I've linked it a couple of times on my stories, but you should definitely do it. It's been like a great part of our summer. I said to Claudia, it really marks, I would say, the middle of swirly summer. And today is the last day of July. It's true. And we started this project at the beginning of summer and it really just marks this passage of time. And I think the passage of time has been significant. It's kind of like visiting day at camp. Like you knew the summer was half over when your parents came to visit. Yeah. And Zach said like he wanted to do it again. Because like the Shapiros are coming and they would like it. But I don't even know if we have enough time because it actually took three plus weeks. And I'm genuinely sorry to the Shapiros. Like you just had to be there. Like you had to be there. We can't recreate it. And you also like had to be there. That's what you get for being late. That's what you get. You had to be there for them living on our dining table for the last few weeks. Correct. I'm excited to get the dining room table back. Yeah. So much more space for activities. Yes. Me as well. Can't recommend enough. It was really beautiful. And I think it was completely animal friendly. Like I agree. No. All in all, they ended up free. And I personally loved it. To see animals being released from captivity. That is one of my jobs. Like one of the goals with my job. So I was thrilled to see that they almost all made it successfully. And it was beautiful. And the kids loved it. It was so sweet. And we had like a very ethical and safe environment for them. Oh, for sure. Definitely ethical. Yeah. No one could accuse us of being otherwise. So that was a really great way to start the day, I would say. It was. Just like with this sort of message of freedom. We continued with the Pargy vibes. We drove together again. We did. Because we're filming a vlog after this. And I just feel like. And we can't film the vlog separately. It means you love driving with me. We're having fun. I have no complaints. That's so sweet. No complaints. And some days I just want to like cruise. And some days I just like to be a passenger princess. We listen to new music. And I actually don't drive a lot. Like I've always been the sister who like drives. Because none of you guys learned how to drive until you were 30. And I did when I was 18 just because like Ben taught me. But I'm always being driven by Ben. So I actually don't even drive that much. Yeah. We had like a nice time. Jamming out. It was lovely listening to new music Friday. New Kelly Clarkson music. Yeah. I'd be lying. New Ellie Goulding. New Ellie Goulding. Four seasons. I feel like Kelly Clarkson might have a boyfriend. Like she is notorious for writing her own music. She even writes for others. So the last time we heard from her was her divorce album. And today she's like talking about like a guy she can't stop thinking about. But then the last song she put out was about Meryl Streep and Martin Short. Like where have you been? Yeah. But so she told us that it was like she was seeking inspiration from others. This time. It's like the song just came out. I feel like she's self-referencing. Okay. You could like feel the personal nature of the song. Like who are we shipping Kelly with these days? There's literally nobody on earth good enough. You know who she needs? Like not him because obviously he's very happily married. But like the vibe of like Peter Herman. Yes. But I think she also needs a commoner. Like. Yeah. With a group. What about like a commoner in the industry? Even though that is what she had last time. I think like a true commoner with like a very good job so that he's not like threatened by her like level of wealth. Yeah. A nerd. Yeah. Someone who cusses a little. Yeah. I like that. That's what I think. That's what I think. What else did I want to tell you guys? Oh, and then we're filming our blog today with Miss Margo. So that's also why. Miss Margo came to town. We journeyed together. Yes. We journey fretted. I had something I wanted to say. I just like can't remember. Oh, I tried to watch House of Stassi last night. I couldn't get into my Hulu. Oh. So I will be watching it this weekend. But I just want to say like I'm seeing a lot of positive response. Even someone here was saying that they watch and they're like we're obsessed with Taylor. And it's like I've literally been trying to tell you guys this. I do feel that she will be the breakout star. I just want like I told you first. I told you so. Yeah. We know. Did you see that they had a Halloween party? The theme is like so Stassi bubonic plague. I saw. And Taylor Swift dressed up as Blake Lively. And she was like I know it's the bubonic theme plague. But Blake Lively's bubonic theme bubonic plague of our time. Even though I don't agree with that. It's a funny joke. It is. She's going viral for that. I'm really excited for her. Like it's about time. Yeah. It's about time people saw it. I don't know if the owner is logged into Hulu. So if he is. The owner was not logged into Hulu. And you know we all use that. Piro's Hulu. So it's just been like a very trying time. If he's logged in I can watch House of Stassi. If he's not logged in I can't. I can only watch Amazon Prime. I also don't know if like I'm really capable of not to make everything about me. I just don't really know if I'm capable of giving like an accurate recap. One because I'm clearly so biased. And two like I'm not willing to change those biases. Like I love Taylor Strecker. Like I will never see any fault in anything she did. Agreed. And I loathe with my entire being Katie Maloney. And those two things are just like facts of life. They're not like open to changing. Right. So like yeah I can watch and give a recap. But don't expect to hear anything besides that. And like what if objectively. Even though I don't. I couldn't see how it's possible. It couldn't happen. But like what if like Katie Maloney is like making fire points against Taylor Strecker. She's definitely not. But like what if. Yeah. It's just I will never. I'm just. There are two different types of people in this world. You're too close to it. You're either a Katie Maloney or a Turdy Lou. Like you cannot be both. I am. And like not to be annoying. But like I was supposed to be in the video. You know. When I was filming Masked Singer I was like trying to. I was going to like weasel my way in. She was having a Halloween party. And I was like going to make myself you know. A key cameo. You couldn't even make it to Halloween. I couldn't hack it. Yeah. I didn't make it to Halloween. Maybe season two. Queen Corgi. I would have showed up as Queen Corgi. I love. I miss Queen Corgi. I don't. I know. In a physical sense. Obviously like you guys know I was deeply uncomfortable physically being in that. But I guess like in an emotional sense. No I also don't miss her. But we will always have. We will always have. We will always have. She should have given me like her head. I know they keep them in a museum because they are like thousands of dollars. But they should be on the set. Like right here. Yeah. They should. They should. Yeah. Rest in peace Queen. I modged with Ben yesterday. We played Siamese. I don't even know if you like caught that. Because like. I didn't. When did you guys play? We were so slick with it. Where did I go after. In the afternoon or at the night? In the afternoon. Where was I? Where was I? Oh you went to the spa. I did go to the spa. I got a gift card for my birthday. And I was like you know what. To a local spa. Which was such a thoughtful gift card. So I went. Yeah. I got a massage. Oh I went to music class. And then when I came home. Like Ben was in the living room. And I was in the living room. And I was like Siamese. And we just like got in a couple rounds. Best of three. That's nice. And I got my fix. And that was it. Then I had to like go to Petco for Bruno. Bruno's become such a liability. But we're working through it. Yeah we are. He's on like a strict schedule now. He's just sort of been like loosey goosey summer. Yeah. Eating this. I think we all have. Doing that. And now it's boot camp for Bruno. Yeah. Is my part in my hair like straight? Or is it like for cocked? It's not for cocked. But it's not straight. So like yeah. Like drag your finger. Okay. It feels like not. You know I love like a scary. It's not like. Oh my God. You are always setting me up. Oh my God. But like. You should have told me. You should have gone the other way. From the back. In my rat tail like. Call Magnolia. Okay. Oh my God. Magnolia is here. Magnolia is here. Which means Ms. Margo is here. Which is so cool. It's so exciting. Look at me. Oh my God. It's worse than ever. Drag from the back to the front. Who does that? I don't. It's pretty good. Like I can tell. Like the earth feels off balance if my part is not like dead set. There you go. That's better. Yeah. My hair is so oily. I've gotten into like a really lazy place here. Where I'm washing my hair like maximum twice a week. Maximum. Maximum. Maxwell. And it's not good. Twice a week is good. It's good. Well, one of the times that I wash them is at the salon because I've been getting weekly blowouts and I feel like that's like a major wash. To the salon. Literally. And so do you feel like that counts as like three washes? They do wash it twice, but it's just such a deep bleed. Yes, it is. It will always be one of the great joys of my life. Getting my scalp like scratched at the salon. Yeah. Such a good feeling. That is a good feeling. Sometimes they're not going hard enough. I'm just like, you can make me bleed. Yeah. That's where I can take it. When I get massages, I'm always like very gentle. I do not like deep tissue. I do not. I got a massage. Well, I got a manicure yesterday and like every time I go, they like offer one, but I'm like, no, it hurts too much. I'm very sensitive. But I really needed to be like massaged. So I was like, I'll sit through it. And I'm like, and he's like, and the guy goes, no pain, no gain. That's that's. not true of a massage no no especially a nail salon massage it's just like a way to passively pass the time a massage is meant to be like relaxing it's not meant to be painful some people find the pain like good this isn't physical therapy no correct no pain no gain no I love like a really I always say like I like to relax I want to fall asleep like you can't fall asleep if you're being kneaded like a piece of bread but when it comes to the scalp I want you to make me bleed I know my scalp can take a lot I love a scalp massage otherwise though I'm very tender but there are a lot of people when they get a massage they skip the scalp like it's not it's not a universal thing that everyone likes I always say like you can skip my back oh I want you you can skip you can skip my legs you can skip my leg you can because I also probably haven't shaved them and that's not like you can get my neck I say you can use them as like as a connecting point don't just like go completely of course like go down the leg but yeah move along no I think that like give it to the scalp and the feet the scalp massage the scalp and the feet yeah the scalp and actually sometimes like a couple of times weirdly I've actually gotten a massage and I've only asked for scalp and feet and I've only gotten a massage and I've only asked for scalp and feet and I've only asked for scalp and feet because I have a spray tan like I remember I was on vacation once like at a uh a wedding weekend and I like had a spray tan for all the festivities but this hotel had an amazing spa so I literally went in I paid for a full massage and I was like just fuck up my scalp and my feet and honestly it was one of the best massages I've ever had I should try that yeah you should I also don't love being on my stomach portion of the massage I always like turn around with a stuffy nose I don't like the flip like I don't care which side I'm on the flip is deeply humiliating and it's like that I was just getting in the zone actually I didn't love getting I got a bunch when I was pregnant of prenatal massages being on your side during a massage it's like kind of nice you they can't like get like the full bod they give you the pillow but I don't think they just like give out the pillow some I I remember a couple of places who like took their prenatal massages really seriously and like they had all the proper I actually went to a place with a hole in the belly me too it was the St. Regis Bell Harbor with a hole in that so you could be on your stomach and let me tell you I think I was actually moaning at certain points it was amazing that's beautiful it was beautiful today's Friday we've got lots of stories we have Queenie and we're gonna attempt to do Queenie and Weenie we're

world we have alex earl is ready to reveal her chaotic life on her netflix reality show she says filming season one was insane so for the trailer she's like sitting doing hair and makeup saying like get ready with me while narrating the trailer yeah and it's clear like for the trailer which is cute get ready with me while i tell you what i've been up to she said filming season one of earl meets earl was insane earl meets earl or what i say earl meets world but what did i say earl maybe she's meeting a long-lost sister um so we are going to see lots about her blended family the whole family is in the trailer you know balancing her career they talk about braxton she accuses her family of being team braxton i mean he's a good guy like i could see them actually liking him and they all got really close to him i feel like annoyed that i think a lot of hype and anticipation for her show is almost like boiled down to this alex cooper thing like my first thought was they didn't mention alex cooper in the trailer and i'm sure she doesn't want to at the end of the trailer she was like oh is there something i'm forgetting or like something like that like alluding to like a big thing so i feel like that's that now we know she is referenced like it is gonna be in the show right it is she's not she didn't give us anything we got i doubt she wants to make like the big trailer about alex but right it's like annoying that it's just sort of boiled down to this she sort of put a lot of pressure on it she has but i feel like she feels confident in her side in her side and also like in her show yeah i agree i mean it looks so good her family is inherently so interesting and i'm someone who like knew a decent amount about like the background and the blended family but i didn't realize even more like i didn't realize that the mom that guy todd is her mom's like boyfriend or husband he's so hot and he's on the show too and he's like a star yeah i'm not really like watching for todd i kind of am that's what i'm saying like because to me like the hero of this whole family and the glue is the mom like her willingness to like put the kids first like she's such a queen she'll be rewarded in the afterlife for her time here on earth but it's nice to know like she was a hot man too like i didn't know that yeah you know yeah so it's easy to move on when like that's what your man looks like it'll be interesting because i do feel like as reality tv consumers all of us like we have a high bar for like family shows you know we do netflix doesn't have a lot of family shows and like a lot of family shows get started and they don't reach success even families who like have the makings a lot of families like we should have a reality show like a lot of them should like they have interesting people with interesting boyfriends and interesting lives and careers but a lot of times i don't know why it's not a perfect formula it's actually very hard to recreate the kardashians like did set an incredibly high standard so um these this group like they have what it takes they have all the makings of it all they're gorgeous they've got drama they've got history um so it should be good yeah like period it should be good period although netflix reality is like not i don't know why like they don't slay they do like those competition shows that people like but they don't do like a lot of docu-series a lot of these like stage like shahs of sun uh selling sunset you can't like not that they can't so i think they make everything like really premium i'm not worried the premiere date is september 4th i think that's what it's far i said not too far you know so close just like a couple more weeks into swirly summer and then we'll have like all of labor day weekend to watch and then we can recap yeah i wonder how it's being released like maybe like three at a time i feel like it will be episodic that's so annoying yeah and it like everyone's really tuning in to find out even though i do feel it's been diffused like i don't this i was the lead reporter on it and like i kind of don't care anymore um but i would like to hear what she has to say yeah so that like everyone will watch yes which is good because sometimes you make a really good show but like if people don't watch then no one will ever know so this way if it's good everyone has to watch yeah that's good yeah we'll see i think it'll be great and the trailer has been very well received online yeah yeah exciting yeah our next story some more viral news bethany frankel is launching supermodel cafe inspired by her viral social media recipes so bethany funny like she just like makes like some influencer launching a brand like would not make the news people are upset both positive and negative she's so polarizing like i saw this everywhere and it's like not that crazy she's not even launching a brand she's opening a pop-up in the hamptons it's a supermodel cafe as it's called filled with like her viral recipes you know she's always making like bits and healthy she calls it a supermodel snack like here's how she's like everything is the og cottage cheese and rice cakes and everything with bagel seasoning she is og like pre-ozempic diet girly you know using lettuce as bread and cream cheese as salad dressing like so yeah she if anyone can do it it's her yes it's also powered by goldberg's yes which is a local chain of bagel places here in the hamptons so it's not like she had to like get a kitchen and everything like she's giving them her recipes they're getting it up and running it's really brilliant she's obviously like a fixture in the hamptons and also in the natural food space and the natural food space in the food space like even like the chicken salad and in the hamptons food she makes so many things like so viral so like this is so duh yeah i don't think it's like a huge money maker for her like a pop no but it's like a great thing for her brand and like say it does well which i expect that it will she can pop up elsewhere this is something she could do for like a long time in terms of like let's pop up in la let's pop up in miami yeah i do feel like confused what is her status which is like a skinny girl brand like because she's like sold the liquor portion skinny girl cafe right they she sold the liquor portion so she has nothing to do with that anymore but like we eat their popcorn it's so good i believe the food the salad dressing she's like promoting it a lot she is still somewhat involved and i know she has a lot of i think like non-competes which is why she hasn't done anything in the food space since then so i'm curious how this no and also if she was very much involved in skinny girl then this would be skinny girl cafe and these would be skinny girl snacks what is the remainder of her relationship with her skinny girl no no i i don't know but like if you think about it when she was like i'm gonna brand my of course this segment of my podcast she's starting a new thing she started a new name for talking about diet food when she supermodel snack which is great skinny girl is also a great name but she consciously did not call them skinny girl snacks no i know well i don't think she can or she wants to create equity in a new brand yeah yeah which is so bethany creating equity yeah which is smart yeah she already sold her equity like the equity for her and skinny girl is out the door so you don't need to build it up really continue yeah should we go of course where is it quag okay let's go we'll go and like can we cut the line yes her like an influencer special line the line special line for influencers it's they're an influencer special live i'm so glad i saw there was an article in the cut about this like about how everything in new york is a line and it's just like it's not even for something crazy like it's just for like a pain in the cake or a bagel i am allergic to standing in line like you could tell me that there's a winning lottery ticket i just have to wait in line of like 20 people well i'll just have to keep working like i am allergic to lines i hate fucking standing in line i also think there's something deeply humiliating about standing in a line yeah and i think like what it says about you is negative like i just i hate lines and i we need to have like a a conversation about line culture in new york it's there's a line on and it used to be like you would see people lining up and wonder what this is for it was always something like big now i'm like oh you're all idiots i don't even care it used to be just like the iphone that's what people would line up for i thought or the cronut right it was like a once in a lifetime big thing now it's every day like some viral i guess it's because of like the viralness so it's like there's a surge in demand on the same day because it went viral and that's the internet it's not like really it's born of the internet yeah it's one of my least favorite things about living in new york honestly i can't take it i cannot take it and i won't participate in line culture either okay so we'll cut the line or i'll go stand for you and i'll let you know when to get out of the car just let me know where the influencer line is or if there's like a friends and family and influencer taste yeah like what about like podcast bethany has been online yeah you have one of those of course we're going i'm so excited road trip i like whenever whenever she even i just want to say almost all the shit she eats is inedible to me like i'm you guys know how are you oh like her wraps of like turkey and salad like i could throw up yeah i always see her snacks i'm like oh that looks really good i want to try that i don't eat like turkey or chicken but um i want to try some like you know cottage cheese on a rice cake ben should come too he would love it absolutely we're vlogging and olivia oh we should wait for olivia to get here she actually she is the same like um category of eater as bethany yeah like put it on a rice cake make sure it has greek yogurt and cottage cheese and sesame seeds and we'll all go together that's actually a really fun afternoon vlog yeah love that no i think it's really smart i'm i'm excited for her yeah i wonder if it's successful if she has plans like going to like a line for like the grocery store because she said i think she's selling like healthy bagels which is a pretty good category like not there there are a couple i used to eat them when i was like really nutty the um better bagel i think yeah like they're actually pretty good um so that would be good and then like spreads they look like pre-made they could sell my grocery stores yeah which is crazy because that skinny girl and then she just did it again then she did it again yeah well it is what she's passionate about like being skinny it's a good passion yeah of course worthwhile being skinny and also like eating as much as you can while being yes some people like can be skinny without eating without thinking about it yeah like eating is just a means to live it's not something and then some people like just love food and bethany's one of those people who like loves food but also loves being skinny and like she needs to hold space for both yeah so that's exciting it is our next story taylor no longer picks clark oh my god this is actually like to me the way people were shocked well not people like the delusionals about nickel and you're like this is that that's surprising to me taylor and clark from love island usa last season have made the quote difficult decision to part ways amid cheating rumors that's very much unfounded but like he was spotted with like another girl a couple weeks ago but they could have been broken up a couple weeks ago plus she went on her girl's trip that's giving breaking breakup it is i think that's a good thing i think that also um a storyline on beyond the villa is that they were having issues just because taylor was like true to himself he is a farm country where he does not want to change his lifestyle he wants to continue to be a farmer and a cowboy and clark is like you know gotten a taste for that she wants to go to la and like do brand deals so they just have like different visions for the future and that will that's actually a very good reason to break up it is but that makes me sad like she's choosing la over taylor but you know what i also feel like there's much more to it and if there was infidelity or a lack of trust yeah then you've got to go the time is curious because for those who don't know like taylor and clark this random couple from love island last season are actually inextricably linked to olandria olandria and taylor were together the whole season even though like we knew he didn't like her he found someone at casa he really liked he became like the total villain for leaving olandria but him and this girl clark were like so in love and they've been together ever since in a real way not if you watch this season it's casey and tt exactly and then anaya and carl would be the nickel andrea and so i'm actually shocked that they broke up and they're like oh my god i don't know what to do with this i'm like oh my god i don't know what to do with this the timing is very weird because of nickel andrea the same week or that just speaks to like when nicolandria ran the numbers of when a couple from love island should break up stats they learned that it is about a year later also tiller and clark might have already been broken up and people close to them might have already known that before nicolandria decided to sever business ties before nicolandria decided to sunset i was i just want to say i'm like upset by this i i actually believed in their love of course and you can believe in their love couples break up they're very young no and breaking up doesn't mean it was a fake relationship for nicolandria incorporated yeah no but these two were real breaking up of nicolandria is doesn't mean that it was a fake relationship it just was a fake relationship oh my god i know you don't know because like you're not chronically online but like i wish i could tell you like how bent out of shape people are about no it started to trickle down is like are you guys gonna speak out like are you you gonna talk about like the hate you're like the the backlash like are you gonna apologize i've i've seen a couple comments on my instagram from clearly like nicolandria who have migrated over to instagram and like sought me out yeah and they're being very unkind they're being very unkind i know and like their biggest accusation they're calling us racist which like it's just not like it's not that it's actually it's actually offensive to actual racism to say that it's true it is like it's absurd also it's frustrating because they think that we're hating on alandria when like they don't know you haven't been here and i hate to be like you know context but like you have historically like you have to listen to everything that we have said about her including our like live recaps last season because we don't hate alandria and we never did no we always wanted better for her than taylor then nick what are you guys talking about like yeah and she literally admitted herself on the show that like there isn't a connection between her and nick and they as of you know two seconds before their breakup they weren't even technically boyfriend and girlfriend like like just like genuinely and i'm not trying to like make you guys more angry to our like nick alandria haters but how genuinely not smart are you like you're dumb well if you fell for nick alandria then that's what i'm saying but like now you're coming for us when like you know you got got you got hoodwinked and you should just like kind of sunset that but what's crazy is both those people and us are coming from a place of love for alandria we're showing it in different ways yes and like i think we love her more because we want better for her and we've always wanted better for her the denial phase we've moved on to like yeah whatever the 11 12 steps are they're still in denial next comes anger no but like if you really loved alandria like you wouldn't want nick alandria for her you wouldn't want nick for her and like i think we love her more actually than you i would say you don't like her we absolutely love alandria more than um our detractors do now put that in a clip and post it like it's called it's tough love i would give tough love to like a person that i'm close to and that i love i wouldn't be like oh yeah your your terrible boyfriend is great do you like that because you've been commenting that i keep saying put that in a clip and post it like it's tough love to like a person that i'm close that in your pipe and smoke it what about put that in your clip and post it for sure but like we do that like you're talking to us i guess i've technically talked to the social media team like put that in your clip and post it if we want to go back there if we want to go back there let's see what else like a big if what other conversations emerge today oh our next story is some exciting news it's our fourth story but we're gonna do six stories today yeah i i just like don't want to get stopped in the middle of our of our role major podcasting news forbes released the highest paid podcasters of 2026 and i will say i felt that the list was only interesting because it's the same group of people always but giggly squad like cracking the top 20 i feel like that's the big change they're sort of like coming up from behind and slaying yeah so here's the top 20 like most of these seem pretty obvious it's crazy that some of these people i've never heard of their show also what's crazy is that like i feel like we talk about it here all the time like we're always talking about like the biggest female podcaster i'm always talking about and justice for ashley flowers because nobody ever says it's her but like it's it's her by a mile ashley flowers moves in silence she does she's actually smart yeah she's not gonna get robbed well after this list yeah joe rogan is number one 82 million dollars and this is earned this year so even if he had 100 like well at this point it'd be a 200 million dollar deal for three years or whatever like 82 million dollars this year john coogan and jordy hayes host a podcast called tpbn it's a finance podcast i guess i've never heard of it what does tpbn stand for um i don't know oh my that's crazy they're number two at 70 million tpbn oh my god like what are the odds that i haven't heard of something like i know i think that's crazy another two moving in silence totally did you find it technology business programming network that sounds fake yeah okay number three yeah stephen bartlett diary of a ceo classic at 45 million number four ashley flowers crime junkie 42 million first woman number five the smart list guys 37 million you have to divide that by three then like per like their show earned 37 million dollars this year they each took home a third of that i'm so glad we never invited olivia margaret to start the show with us like three is so many people it is i already have a hard time like with you you know i know i'm like every day i often think about i'm like what if i just did the show by myself like how could i change my lifestyle yeah every night in the same house sleeping with one eye open and then you'd have to do stories and ads it's oh my god so true we both earn our key number six mel robbins 35 million what people are not gonna like what i'm about to say but that's the grift of the motherfucking century like she literally came out of nowhere she does like fake self-help and like i actually i mean it's not a grift because the thing with podcasts is like you earn what you generate so it's like that many people are listening to your show you can't get these numbers without real listeners so like yeah i guess people are listening to mel robbins yeah maybe she's not attacking one of the six women on the list classic club maybe she's like got something going over there like people just like you know think she all she is is like the let them theory or whatever but like maybe she's giving good advice over there because you really don't stay at the top you can like grift your way to a certain degree with a launch with a book with some good guests and then maybe like a network thinks is buying all that smoke and mirrors and like pays you a lot of money but like this is years long now i think she's the real deal like got the cream you're right number seven the kelsey brothers 35 million dollars not surprising another two that have to split only two only two and i think that if they were doing it solo like it wouldn't be that big you know i think that's a true of a lot of duos you think it's true of us absolutely i think so it's yin and yang 1000 number eight alex cooper 32 million famously does not have to split no she sort of solved that problem a few years ago number nine we know alex who has a huge deal yeah she's always on these lists she's always on these lists she had the like 150 million dollar series deal so this is like her year her annual split her paycheck number nine they're splitting it four ways pod save america 28 million dollars four what's 28 divided by four seven yes right yes yeah poor no i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm definitely kidding um that's great congrats i feel like there was a time and a place and also is pod save america no politics but it's not new york times that's the daily no but there was a time where they were like this is not one of their big years there was a time where like people were fucking obsessed with the show where maybe if the list had come out they would have been number one or two or three so it's impressive they've been there for a while number 10 charlemagne at 27 million is that the breakfast the breakfast club but it's just charlemagne so because he does like multiple shows and he doesn't own the breakfast club that's like i heart radio like it is but he also has his own program so maybe it's just like him in general but maybe i heart radio like pay up his contract to the tune of 27 million a year solo number 11 dac shepherd armchair expert 25 million of course 12 amy poehler 24 million slay honestly not her and her ex-husband being on the list yeah that's crazy and she makes more than him because she's solo true 13 bill simmons 22 million classic 14 jay 21 million he recently like got a big deal like a big podcaster but he recently like leveled up like well he got like a hundred million dollar deal i saw on netflix and he's on netflix now and spotify yeah so he has like two and he's like getting insane guests too yeah like he woke up and decided like we're taking it to the next level and he did yeah and the next level was like coming through yeah it was like nine figures yeah 15 solo joe budden the joe budden podcast 20 million i've never like seen joe budden's face but like i know i've never seen joe budden's face but like i know i've never seen joe budden's face but like i know obviously his name because every time i see it i think people are misspelling joe budden and you know he's huge in podcasting like a trailblazer yeah and you love to see people who have been doing you love to see the newcomers but you love to see the people who've been doing it for so long like still at the top being in like the same top 20 whether you're like number one or number 10 is beyond impressive yeah 16 tucker carlson 20 million dollars 17 your boyfriend my boyfriend wait hold on i don't think they're not camelli as a podcast scott galloway 19 million when my talks i love scott galloway that's so funny i know 18 my boyfriend what do you think harry jowsey's he's on the list yeah andrew huberman oh you know he's also been he definitely fell off a little bit like that scandal and like i think that his sort of extreme like wellnessy was like a very much like a moment in time but he's still on the list that's really impressive 18 million dollars he should be kim's boyfriend do you see brian johnson the longevity king is like sort of backtracking his lifestyle choices he said i fear i been thinking recently that i might have taken this too far interesting i also saw was he did he get sick he got sick or something yeah so that's not good that's good really sad yeah 19 oh dan katz and eric sollenberger pardon my take barstool 18 million dollars oh wow barstool yeah that's pretty cool yeah and then 20 hannah and page giggly squad 18 million dollars it's actually insane that there's only six women on the list and there are two of them they're 30 percent of 33 percent of the women like that's sick that is crazy but do you think more men listen to podcasts in general than women that's a good question i don't know i don't think so because i think that there are actually more female podcasters you think no i feel like it really like started sort of like a a man space but there's there's women well it's very impressive because like i said it's the same 20 people usually and giggly squad cracking is like major major for the it's because you know what you love to see a swirly show in the mix you do you really do i love lists exciting for the industry there's a lot of money like floating around is there anyone you feel is noticeably absent from the list i love that question let's go not to like point out let's go to the top charts but it's also worth mentioning that you would have had to submit your financials which a lot of people don't want to in order to like be a contender although i think with some people like joe rogan i can't see him having agreed to submit any no but like it's known that his deal was what it was right but like i think you have to submit a tax return i think or no i don't think so i think if like they knew that joe rogan got a hundred and fifty million dollar deal then it's 50 million dollars this year right right it is what it is anyone missing i feel like it felt accurate theo von oh yeah people were saying like conan i don't think he was like snubbed or anything i think and i just don't think he made it this year i don't think he's far down i don't think he generated more than 18 million dollars but theo von is a very good call and then like what about the daily how does that work because they're like employees because they're a media company and they're employees of the new york times so yeah the show is in the news and they're in the news and the show isn't like and and also they base these numbers based on deals like we know that new heights went to prime for x amount new york times sells their own ad so like they don't get these types of deals because it's all done in-house if i had to guess right no i agree with that if i had to guess no i'm looking at the tops and like it does seem pretty morbid what about morbid yeah i get them confused with crime i know maybe they only like wanted to like you made a lot of money it's it's a merit this list is a meritocracy it is but no exciting exciting stuff yes it is are you ready for our fifth and not final story if it's our fifth and not final that's brought to you by lululemon are you particular about what you move in well you know the feeling when something just gets out of your way and lets you do your

relationship with x jerry o'connell oh wow we're closing the circle on this the bill and juliana podcast dropped and she is sharing her side of their relationship that he mentioned on kelly rippa she said that she would be on her podcast on fuzzing his memory because he said his memory was a little fuzzy on the situation and she talks about how he broke up with her from a balcony so first she was saying that she was dating jerry o'connell he like went off to shoot a movie and he was like spotted with his co-star jerry from the spice girls like oh my walking out of a restaurant holding hands jerry's always starting stuff don't you think she literally is the reason they broke up and i love that juliana named names um even though it's like it was so low stakes like it does it's 20 plus years ago you're like tell us the story yeah we need to name the character but it's not like she went like it's not like it was jennifer lopez and like now juliana's like putting her on notice like low stakes agreed um she said she had called um she said she texted what did she say she called jerry um and he wasn't picking up her calls he was like ghosting her and she said jerry i'm gonna call the police like i'm really worried about you and he wrote back do not call the police he goes i just got back to la i'm he goes i'm fine i'm fine so i was like oh my god okay i write i'm coming over like i haven't seen you in like five days what's going on so i go over there and that's where this whole thing happened he said that she was she said he was standing on his balcony looking at her uh saying he didn't want to see me in person he didn't have enough courage to come down and see me face to face like a foot away and instead did it from a balcony he broke up with me from a balcony and i honestly thought it was because he was just like over it done he was just like bye it was devastating heartbreaking humiliating it was traumatizing it truly was and i just could not believe what i was they had been together for a year and a half oh my god well obviously jerry was inside yeah oh wait jerry and jerry i'm just putting that together jerry and jerry yeah you don't let someone in but you're talking to them through the like even if you want to break up or someone inside even if you wanted to break up with her in like a rude and short way like you could let her up like there was someone there was someone there obviously this story is very inconvenient for me because it's in congress with the jerry that i know it's like the bravo loving dad yes but i feel like people grow people grow and i don't know if he's like i could see part of his shtick as having been like a recovered a hole like someone who like got caught up in hollywood for a minute yeah and then became like humbled and and lovely yeah even like not in hollywood i think a lot of like grown men would say like they didn't act their best in certain relationships in their 20s i'm like not gonna hold it against jerry if i didn't like jerry i would hold it against him but like i said this is just extremely inconvenient for me as like a jerry o'connell fan - No, and also like behavior from 20 plus years ago. And she said like, you know, obviously it was for the best is her tone like is she mad no i feel like she just like felt like this is very real for her yeah this happened if you're gonna talk about it like don't skim the surface because this is the truth i guess he did bring it up yeah she said a year and a half i do love that jerry is an open book even if his memory is a little fuzzy um i truly believe everything happens for a reason we are both happily married now we both have great families and we are both exactly where we're meant to be so like that can be completely true i don't think she's coming from a place of malice but it's like oh no we're bringing this up let's let's yeah and i would normally say like get over it juliana like it was 20 years ago but he did bring it up i don't think she's not like i feel like she no sometimes it's like hard to find fodder for your podcast no i feel like if someone was talking about you you have a podcast they're telling a story they're sort of contradicting what you've said historically like yeah clear the air yeah think about like what we would do of course i would sit down and i would just tell my truth let it rip yeah let it rip are you ready for now thank you for closing the loop on that yes of course i had completely forgotten because i saw clips of it and then i was like oh okay yeah here we go yeah um our next story i don't know if it's a story but you see uber this is actually like really huge news for slobs like me uber is being sued do you know that it's actually devastating you know when you get uber eats and like you do priority because you don't want your food dropped off before like yeah you're you are paying for nothing the driver like doesn't know that you have priority sometimes uber will tell them like other orders to pick up before coming to the store or something like that so they're actually being sued for not being like for false advertising good and like stealing people's money good i have never maybe twice in my life have i done not priority of course and those two times were like the biggest regrets of my life so but apparently it's like it's literally for nothing oh yeah well good then yeah i'll keep you updated on that legal news please do um because that's so giving like fifth and final friday story no no no and this is like sixth and final but it was about the fact that lebron james is like in a deal with espn and he's like i don't know if he's and they're about to close on doing like a last dance style documentary for his like next season or two seasons at the 76ers yes so i heard about this and i'm so glad you brought up lebron because i wanted to say one other thing um did you also see that during his tenure on the philadelphia 76ers he will be living in new york and commuting via helicopter i saw that that is a potential yes so i think that's insane um obviously for a couple of reasons like i'm sorry when you are like playing for a team like you have to live there like i just feel like that should be the rules to with this new pieta tear tax i don't know why lebron would now want to purchase a place in new york city like that's insane a second home well it would be his first if he's living there no i feel like his like like akron is his home you know like that's his primary residence and two the helicopter yeah every day or like i feel like certain things even though i don't believe that helicopters are unsafe like we know that with kobe like it was bad weather and they flew through it and they shouldn't have um but i just feel that now everyone thinks about helicopters just a little bit differently yeah because of that situation and so for you to be able to live there and live there and live there like literally be doing what kobe was doing and now you're gonna be like doing it every single day like the over reliance yeah that's really crazy like all that just to not live in philly yeah philly's a fine place there's plenty of and like there's different vibes you know like you live in the city you can live in the subway room you get a farm like 30 minutes away you could go to farm yeah now back to the documentary thing don't you feel like and yes like the last dance like it needed to be recorded but don't you feel like it's like a little bit of a jinx oh like what if you or whatever i think aaron rogers when he did his right but if you tore your achilles heel yeah i guess it doesn't have to like come out you know but i guess now it's like being reported yeah i also feel like if i'm a philly fan i'm like you're literally coming here to use us talk about how big of losers we are and how you're gonna save us you're gonna live here no you won't live here it's like someone's like i don't know it's kind of like when l and alec does the the documentary of the homecoming and she's just like look at these sad people i'm gonna bring them joy and it's like yeah we're fine i think though like if he does get that homecoming he's gonna be like i'm a championship like they won't really care i agree so if he doesn't they'll feel used and abused but if he does it's like okay whatever at least we got championship yeah no this whole thing is like a little and like to come into like a new locker room with a camera crew no but like you are lebron and i think like literally almost every nba player in that group who's actively playing like grew up and obsessed and like and sure i'll be lebron it's like sure you want to be naked like sure we can take a shower it's true it's true i actually don't think that they care they're actually a part of history yeah i don't know i don't know yeah i think it's a jinx because like i don't know lebron just did go to the lakers and he stunk it up there so it's not a guarantee that if you he didn't sync it up he won the championship for them in 2020 yes that was six years ago per our fact checkers no he did but he went he got them a championship in his time there you don't win every year even when you're the goat fine fine that actually is fair i just think it's like not guaranteed but like i feel like for tom brady like it actually was guaranteed like if i 'm on your team like we're winning like it just kind of was i feel like it's not the case for lebron so it's it's like he's a 50 50 shot i think it's as much the case for lebron going to the 76ers as it was for tom going to the buccaneers yes but we have six literally six years since his last championship like that's a long time i guess he's older okay i'm older no i'm like very much sat for this nba season yeah yeah so we'll still make me say it like other girls you drink beer exactly um let's dive into our final segment of the week queenie and weenie and we kind of like fumbled the last couple
