Justice for GG Crackers: Monday, October 5th, 2026

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 they sound amazing welcome back to the toes and happy monday habit report my flu-like symptoms have subsided i'm so bad you could probably hear it like in like the sort of chipper nature of my voice yes we can hear it in the chipper nature in the chipper nature and although my flu-like symptoms have subsided it didn't stop us from spending no time together this weekend like i was just sort of quarantined um so hey how are you i'm good how are you i've missed you you did i don't even think i saw you since toast no i like ran out of here i'm so not feeling good which is nuts i'm not staying in jackie's house anymore by the way i just want to make that clear she wasn't in my room i wasn't in her room like quarantined so i really didn't see you all weekend how are you how was your weekend i'm good my weekend was great lots of fun cowboys won huge for the community so do the chiefs i happen to be like on the channel how did the 49ers do i'm not sure because you know like that's your family yeah like in our family like jackie's family is the cowboys of the cowboys shapiros of the giants and we're not really like a football family we're the knicks obviously love the 49 and so all the kids are like does ruby love 49ers i'm like sure yeah i bought him a shirt no they asked you what is ruby love and like if you think about what team you and ben love like it's the one where you know the most people oh and actually i saw olivia coppo's story i think they won and it's the 49ers yeah and of course ruby feels a kinship to colette mccaffrey of course his fellow mogul picolette ceo and founder um yeah yeah so i mean it's a great weekend but i literally didn't see you yeah i know so we have a lot of catching up to do yeah i bought a pair of sunglasses not a big deal i went to the mall it was so hot yesterday yeah it was but it's like better than it's been it was in the 80s it's been in the 90s it was in the 90s yesterday was it the mall was popping the only place to be was the mall that's great oh my god air conditioning was pumping we were watching football oh and major update in my life i'm now an intramural mom um and more than that and i didn't know what kind of like intramural sports mother i would be i could have guessed let me tell you i'm very intense well you know we were actually raised by a crazy intramural sport parent our dad used to come and legit embarrass the shit out of us like get thrown out screaming screaming and we were we were like pretty good so like i get why it was like fun and exciting for him so it's kind of in your blood it is in my blood and i'm a competitive person you are like i said i'm in it to win it which by the way remind me i want to say one more thing about dancing with the stars but sure sure sure um all that aside we started intramural sports and i got to see what kind of you know soccer mom i will be i got to hear what kind of mom you would be tell you i'm not staying in my seat no of course not who could ball eyes on the ball you're literally gonna get kicked out and more than just being like an intense soccer mom i'm also the coach's wife huge responsibility by the way did you provide snacks we did provide snacks you did uh yes our family was in charge of snacks like are you always in charge of snacks or then each kid takes a turn just just yesterday was our turn for snacks it's honestly a lot of pressure and i understand like i would love to do especially in this day and age like oh die allergens of course i would love to do orange slices because i think that's a great like you don't want like a thick sugary yeah or even we wound up going with pretzels a timeless classic i know but like it's a very drying snack when you're in the middle of an intense sporting game i guess that's true and what beverages did you provide simply water small water bottles small individual water bottles like i think that when i felt good about it i wasn't gonna do juice like we need to hydrate them no no no when we used to play like intramural leagues like we were literally eating like pop them donuts sugary sodas on the sidelines like times have changed you cannot pull shit like that anymore so we it's thrive market or bus yeah so we got pretzels because i felt like that was saving but it was also like i don't know like pretzels didn't feel right so we also got like the mango fruit strips love that yeah a little fruity did you happen to get grain-free pretzels like you never know with these kids no we didn't pretzels are like pretty allergen they are they're pretty safe yeah they're pretty safe and like if you're allergic to pretzels like you probably brought your own snack if you're allergic to pretzels like i don't think you can play in an intramural league like it's sort of a dire circumstance so not only was i the mom but i'm his wife which is a lot of response ain't it good to be the coach that begs the question ain't it good to be the couch it is is it there's a lot of pressure it is so far it's been great you're gonna be hosting like team practice at your house like i think so we need to practice big time so you lost we definitely need to practice are they at the age where like they declare winners and losers i feel like for a while oh they did so you were just a big loser yeah i feel like for a while um i thought they don't like and kids need to lose i'm sorry like i won well one of you stunk and one of you did it but i feel like in this day and age like until they turn like 10 they don't tell them who wins and who like what the score is oh not in wherever i am like which okay good like i wouldn't enroll in a league that doesn't have winners and losers now like we have something to work towards of course um those kids were definitely bigger than our kids though like the odds were stacked against you it's true it was like globo gym literally yeah and you're just average joes and we were average average jacks but we're gonna take the championship it's just the beginning it's just the beginning i'm running for you i'm running for you that is hilarious um yeah it was hysterical so that's what i was up to well i was just like kind of losing sleep you know do i look tired no you look beautiful not a trick question i feel like i've been put into no not a trick question i had such a crazy evening i had this like terror you know the pregnancy dreams are just horrible vivid so i had this absolutely like horrendous dream that ben died and when i like woke up in the middle of the night like choking i couldn't get over it like i woke ben up and finally laid in bed crying for two hours like i literally couldn't go back to sleep finally go back to sleep only for like my alarm to come up 30 minutes later and so obviously i was in such a bad mood because i just fallen back asleep and so i'm like spending the whole morning like raging at ben and he was like you were literally five minutes ago crying that you were gonna miss me so much when i died and now you're screaming at me the duality of woman the duality of woman i just remembered my dream um it was very vivid and kind of a nightmare you're pregnant no it was that i decided to sit down for an interview such as this it was like a it was like an interview with a photo shoot where they were gonna like make me look ugly on purpose you know oh my god why would you sit down for that i don't know who was the interviewer i don't know what i just i think some weird girl and she said like she had watched two patreon videos and like she didn't thought she knew i was already like planning in my head what i was gonna text my publicist like how dare you i'm cracking up that is a nightmare it was enough to me i never not that i was doing any interviews and i don't do interviews um but i feel like reassured in my and then like right before i woke up she started to ask me a question about like what it's like to be plus size oh oh i don't know what to say i don't know what to say that like that's it's a trap it was a trap yeah it's a trap for you yeah um so we got new chairs by the way we have new trying to change the subject we got new chairs after jackie's oh and we have custom pillows yeah and like we just need the pillows to be seen like and maybe it could be like an emotional support pillow after the nightmares that we've had we have custom pillows at boucle chairs and we're just like genuinely unstoppable we're unstoppable and i also wanted to say about dancing with the stars because i had a thought oh yeah here's your because my new favorite like mental game is like thinking about us on dancing with the stars how could we could we would we no someone commented something that sort of sent me on a a tailspin into our ideal scenario for dancing with the stars they said that we would have to do it together yeah and yes we would have to be on the same season like much like jen and whitney well much like jen and whitney but we are bound by blood they always hated each other we love each other we would support each other that way we could like all move out to l.a we would do the show like yeah right be as difficult transatlantic right right right right and as sisters we would have to compete with brothers mal and maxim okay i'm down um wouldn't that be interesting what do you guys want to watch that i just feel like it's hard to get cast on dancing with the stars let alone twice you know what i mean but we're huge stars and honestly i agree with what she said and honestly like there there's not a lot of huge stars on the show like i feel confident that i'm famous enough right now to go on dancing with the stars given the cast of dancing with the stars right i might not have said that last year but this year i'll definitely say it and they want more influencers and digital people like you can feel that they're they're casting a wide net and it's us one thousand percent i'm not at a place right now where i would be able to i'm not at a place either and i don't know when that time will be so until further notice i'll just happen to be you know tyler cameron's friends and family that's my dream scenario like we do it together i don't know if my dream scenario involves being on dancing with the stars like i just don't i don't think i have what it takes i really don't physically emotionally it's like super it's like a very mentally tough game too it is and i don't know if you've heard about what's going i saw uh emma made a tiktok talking about like how her and jackson i think she was trying to get people to like give them grace because like they're not getting better and she was like we're flying back and forth to savannah multiple times a week like why why are you going i guess to practice going to practice with him but yeah the way that i feel just watching social media is like it's a little too much dancing on the field and not enough dancing in the studio yeah and so i think she wanted people to understand like that that's why because it just looks like they're making tiktoks all week long it does look like they're making tiktoks i guess like she has to be there to choreograph him during his games he can't just take like a couple of weeks off from the bananas only one who can't get pto like when everybody is like a working person i think a lot of them don't get pto like harry shum jr is actively filming grey's anatomy but it's all on the same lot in la yeah he happens have like sort of an inconveniently located job like fabulous podcasting i saw his clips talking about dancing with the stars i'm sure his studio is 20 minutes from dancing with the stars i don't think it affects that could be us i don't think it affects a lot of people in the way that it's affecting jackson well i'm sorry jackson but you should have thought of that like it's not my problem he should have taken like a sabbatical a savannacle and i think that this the bananas corporate like would have been happy to i'm sure they're thrilled that he's doing this this is like a great huge get for the team yeah so i think they would have been fine if he missed a couple there's there's literally no need for them to be flying back and forth to georgia like that's insane that's insane yeah only to be stinking it up every week yeah not necessary agreed tomorrow's dancing with the stars so we will hold off on talking about it keep it in our pants but i just needed to just like put manifest that yeah i'm not doing it without you no pressure you might have to like i'm i'll be your dedication night of course we'll do like a sexy samba threesome me and maxim maxim will come out of retirement just to be your coach um i don't think i honestly like i can't like i can't do it and also like the fandom is mean yeah oh my god that nobody is so true it's sort of like a baptism by facebook group it's true it's true but i think it's like on a huge level like what we experience 10x i guess but it's like if you don't open your phone like it doesn't it doesn't exist yeah like people you're walking down the street and they're throwing tomatoes at you no no but i think that they do no i think it's fine and i think i think they'll love me i think they'll love you too i will be front row i'm gonna be like hannah brown you know yeah where i'm sitting behind uh you're gonna be like chessy to my lane love that yeah but you know the hard part of that i don't think you're gonna be able to do you like can't be on dancing with the stars if you don't have a tiktok honestly you would be the first contestant in history like yeah they'd be hiring me like for my digital right and you don't even have a digital presence um would you make an account for yeah okay i'd run it that would be my job my social media coordinator love that i'm cracking up um what are the stories like today we actually have a lot to talk about a lot of stuff that like i'm excited to talk about i know you'll be excited to when you

You're welcome. They definitely turt. Our first story, Dakota Johnson hosted SNL this weekend and Taylor Swift made an appearance. Yes, so of course I only saw the monologue because that's the only part Taylor was in. Oh, and I also saw the end credits because that's also the part that Taylor was in. And I saw the sketch with the sketch bros. What? The sketch bros. Who's that? Oh, you know, one of the guys is leaving. I saw it today. You know the three? Sketch bros. Oh, oh, he's leaving. Martin. Which one is that? Curly brown hair. Mmm. Martin. What's the name of their sketch bro? Give me a second. I want to remember. Don't try this at home. Literally. Wait, burn this. Burn after reading. Something like that. Wait, hold on. I really want to get it on my own before we look it up. It's like important to me. Because you love them. Check Yes, Juliet, like something like what is it? Please don't just, that's literally what I said. Please don't destroy this. That's not a name of a band. Yeah. The Toast is a name of a comedy troupe. It is. So I saw her sketch with Please Don't Destroy This. Got it. Okay. So I watched her monologue and it's funny because they, I saw then like people comparing it to her. This is her second time and the first time she did it was like right when she's this like new girl in town she's releasing Fifty Shades and it's actually, I know I say it all the time. It's insane that she got that role. Like when I'm watching her on SNL, I'm like, like why would anyone give this? She was so just like, and I love her, but she was so just like a regular girl who had never acted before and I was like, I couldn't believe it. Now, she looked amazing and her whole monologue was about how like she's just like known for dating musicians and I'm like, oh, I guess this is the first time I put together like the last couple of guys you've been seen with are musicians. The last two. Three. Two. Role model, your boyfriend, Chris Martin and Machine Gun Kelly. Machine Gun Kelly, that was one time. I just felt like she was really trying hard to like make that trope a thing. Right. But it's like, I actually don't see her as like a bed hopping musician hopper. Not at all. She was in a long term relationship. She was in a long term relationship with Chris Martin. Then she like had a fling. She sort of minimized it too. Like, you go to a concert and leave with a two and a half year relationship. Like, okay, that was like your boyfriend. It felt like ten years, first of all. I don't know why. I just like, I kind of felt like the monologue in its entirety like just really belittled her. No, the monologue was very bad. Yeah. I don't know why she wants like that to be the association considering none of us think that of her. I have never thought that A, the amount of boyfriends she's had has been weird or too much or that she has like a certain type that she only I guess I was like, oh, oh yeah, they are all acting like she had to address the elephant in there. It's kind of like when Taylor did SNL when she was like 22 and like she was having a million boyfriends. That's like the thing everyone was always saying about her and she did like address it in her monologue when she made that like cute little song. But like no one was waiting for Dakota. Not at all. I thought it was a weird monologue, but then they brought out Taylor and I was fine. I thought it was weird and unfunny as well. And I just the bar is so high for her because like she is like so stellar. She's that girl. She is. She's just like firing on all cylinders at all times. I'm just going to blame the writers. However, like I do feel like Dakota one has a sense of humor. So like has input. She's a lot of lore too. She's like a nipple baby. Like I feel like there's there there. She was just in Taylor's No, she was in Taylor's music video. She's friends with like so many celebrities. She cancelled Ellen like she started the Ellen cancellation. Well, that's not true, Ellen. And so like we could have talked about literally anything. And I just feel like what she talked about was kind of reductive to women. Yeah, I said it. Yeah. And I'm just surprised that she like enthusiastically participated in that when she doesn't have to like maybe the first time she did SNL like you're just what you're told. Right. But now. Yeah. She's like Taylor like not to be like they did not pass the Bechdel test. Like it was so like this is my therapist. I cry about all the boys to Taylor. And it's like we're bringing out the biggest movie star. I'm sorry. Singer pop star in the world. Like we're talking about your ex-boyfriends. Like I don't know. I just thought it was like reductive. Yeah. I'm going to say reductive again. And it's not like it's she's Pete Davidson. It's a stretch. It's all. Is he Pete Davidson? What about him? He was spotted out with an influencer, Judas Batchelder. He was out. Judas Batchelder? Well, her name is I think Haley. He was with Hallie? Yeah, but Judas. Oh, he was with Hallie and Zara. Okay. I know. That's what I think I saw. He was like out with an influencer, which is funny because he's like out with two. No, and it's like not cool, girls. Like honestly, not cool. You're supposed to have the back of your fellow influencer. I think Hallie's friends with Paige. Maybe Paige will give her a talking to. Paige would not allow this. So, yeah. Dakota on SNL. She looked insane. And Taylor. By the way, don't you feel like her outfit, not to like look too much into it, like her whole look is giving like Sheena and Kelly's girlfriend like wanting to like be a little bit Megan Foxy. I really hope that's not true. And I'm not going to lie. I don't like the outfit. Oh, well, when you're so skinny and pretty, like you can actually wear anything. Yeah, for sure. You can wear. You always look good. I didn't say she looks bad. I said I don't like the outfit. Yeah. I wouldn't like I didn't see this. I'm almost like slay. No, no. I didn't have a problem with it, but I did immediately think like, oh, she's giving Megan Fox like dressing for the job you want and just all of that is just in Congress with who I thought she was, which is her own woman. Yeah. And like a very cool one of a kind kind of gal. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. She did say, oh, and she knows she has a lot of lore about Madam Web. Love that. And she made a hilarious joke in the monologue about it. I'm glad I this on the first time she's spoken about it. I do love that she pokes fun at the fact that like literally she was in this huge studio production for a movie that actually like I don't know if a worst movie has ever been made in our lifetime. Yeah. And also the Try Guys poked fun at her about that in their sketch with I love that. I love that she pokes fun at that. I really do. Like that's the Dakota. I know we're like roasting each other. That was like the sketch. How scary just like saying mean things about each other. And they were like, oh my gosh, we've always wanted to meet the star of Madam Web. Can you introduce us to Sydney Sweeney? Oh, that is really funny. Really funny. Like the Madam Web jokes for me never get old. They never get old because the thing is like we have to we have to talk about our flops like that's really hilarious. Yeah. So I'd love to see Taylor brought her out a cake at the end. Yeah. You know, she made that shit from home. No, the baker is flipping. Oh, there's a big thing that everybody thinks Taylor made it. Magazine had reached has reached the baker. Good, good, good. And that is exciting. If you're a small little bakery, she just can't believe her. She can't believe her fortune. You know, they probably just like ordered it on. It's funny that you mention it it because she was heard from. That is hilarious. You don't need to pull it up. I believe you. That is funny. All right. She didn't bake it. My bad. Yeah, she was getting ready for the big night. I can't wait for Dakota and Taylor to like never see or speak to each other ever again. Like this is just sort of like the friend of the moment. Of course. Like rest in peace Marin Morris. Rest in peace. Halsey. Rest in peace. Camilla Cabello. Like there's a lot of girls of the moment, even though they were all at the wedding. So I think they're all like Sabrina. Sabrina. Carly. Of course, but the baker who created the cake Taylor Swift gave to Dakota Johnson on SNL reveals her reaction to the quote wild surprise. Go queen. Like, yes, we'd love to see a small woman owned business getting its flowers. Yeah, very cute. She looked great. Yeah, she did. We're now two in a row. I don't want to jinx it. Two in a row of like looks that are good. They're not like insane, but they're very good. VMAs was very good. And now this beautiful. I think she's a new stylist. I feel like that would be a really big deal because her stylist has been with her for like 60 years. You know, it's also like the confidence and the haircut and the haircut. Also like having a boyfriend like a lot of tartan like this last year. Everyone thought it was like album right folklore energy. Yeah. Yeah. Having like a boyfriend or a husband who like really loves you not to like, of course, bring your confidence to a man. It's very empowering. You just carry yourself differently. Speaking of tartan, I started in what's tartan this like plaid plaid got our tan. I started a new show this weekend called a woman of substance. Have you heard of it now? But what does that have to do with tartan because she lives in Scotland? Okay. Yeah. Okay. And in the last episode was the Christmas episode. She was wearing tartan. Okay. I've been watching two episodes a night. So that's a little familiar. It does. So like what program like what it's on Brit box. Oh girl. We haven't heard of it. Like someone commented. We have not heard episodes. Someone commented Jackie. She watched woman of substance and people tell me about stuff all the time. And I don't know why for some reason I was like that sounds good. So and I don't know why I felt like I had been like mentioning it in Emmy nominee nominations and stuff. Oh, maybe maybe that's why I feel like I've heard of it. But so I just put it on blind because it's a period piece and I was like great. It's giving a place to call home. Who remembers Jackie's a place to call home era acorn TV this special app you had to download that I believe it's like out of business now or like emerged into Brit box and it was a period piece right? It was amazing. Fictional. It was like a very very low budget Downton Abbey. Yes. Hallmark if Hallmark did Downton Abbey. So much heart. You guys have to watch it. You know what you should watch? That you would love the Hallmark original series. It's a very long running series starring Lori Loughlin. When calls the heart. You know I'm talking about when calls the heart. Yeah, maybe but even this like so this series is eight episodes. I'm really enjoying it, but it's really like I don't love getting into a show because then I'm just always thinking about it. I stay up late watching like it's hard. It's not. Then it's also bad when you don't have anything to watch. I know. You're just like watching 30 Rock again, which is what I'm doing. Well, so I'm really enjoying the show. Thank you to whoever recommended it. I don't think it's nominated for anything. I don't know why like I just like wasting your time. No, and it's a remake of an old show and I will say like it takes place in like two different time time like we get flashbacks to the future, which is the 70s and then the past is like the 1920s and like the future scenes are community theater. It's so strange, but then when we go back in the past, it's like I'm transported. So when you read a book and there's like it felt like it literally feels like when you read a book and it's like there's two time periods. They're like take me back or take me forward. I hate these people and the one that we're in that's bad. is so unbelievable. Like, it's so community theater. Yeah. Anyways, I would recommend it, though. I have two more episodes, and it's really great so far. Okay. Woman of Substance. I'm watching Dance with the Stars. It's, like, a full-time job. I can't take anything else on right now. Yeah, I understand. Kim Kardashian was profiled for the Sunday Times. Oh, I saw. She looked really pretty. Yeah. She's always doing, like, weird avant-garde photo shoots. So when she's actually just, like, glam, it's nice. Yeah, she was glam. I don't subscribe to the Sunday Times, so I'm at the mercy of, like, the publications that wrote up the headlines. And the clips, like. And so the two major headlines are that she has five nannies for her four kids. You're kidding. But they're on rotation, so. Oh, okay. It's not, like, five at once. And she said that she. What do you think the rotation is? Like, two-two? Oh, I guess it depends on the day. Okay. And the night. And if she's traveling. Because also, like, I feel like she talks a little bit about her routine and how, like, though she has five nannies who are on rotation, she makes it a point to always drive her kids to school and pick them up from school and have dinner with them every night. But, like, what about. What about when she's traveling all the time? Well, I assume she has a travel nanny. That's what, like, one of the five are. Do the kids always go with her? Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't. I don't know. So I feel like even though she's, like, being transparent and sharing this, like, I feel. We need more. It's just. No, it leaves more actual questions than answers. Yeah. And I think she, like, figures that, you know, giving that number is going to be. Like, enough for people. No. Clickbait. Well, of course. But the thing is, you're a billionaire. You have four kids. Like, you're also having five nannies. Like, I can't even. Can't get upset. Can't hate the player. You know? But she said she always has one of her nannies on rotation when her kids are with her. Because also, I guess they're sometimes with Kanye. Right. Did she talk about that? Like, that I'm a little bit more interested in. Not. She talked a little bit about, like, her parenting and. Sorry. I just. Yeah. Sorry. And how, like, when it comes to Kanye. Like, with North. How her and Kanye are, like, very aligned on. They are. Well, that's good. Yeah, like, communicating over what's going to be, like, the right things for her to do. Making sure they're aligned and that she's in projects that they both. That they both approve of. It was my understanding that, like, Kanye wasn't down for her to be in any projects. Just, like, due to her age. But it also seems like he. Now is, like. Yeah. The kind of the driving force. Yeah. And I guess it's also, like, if he knows that she wants to pursue this. Like, he's going to, like. She's going to do it no matter what. Have his thumb on it. And, like. Be in control. As he should. Because he's. This is his. World. Yeah. Yeah. And what was the other big headline besides the five nannies? Oh, that she was single for five years. Like, before dating. Now. She said, aside from being with Pete Davidson. Aside from her one long-term relationship thing. Aside from her year-long relationship. She was single for five years. Oh. Since she split from Kanye. I'd like to shout out Miss Kenzie Elizabeth. Who sent me a couple of interesting pieces of information this weekend. She said, I thought you'd be interested to know. And she sent me two different, like, graphics about Pete Davidson. Like, overwhelmingly negative. That were liked by Stephanie Shepard. Kim's best friend slash ex. Assistant. Chief of staff or whatever. So, the first one was real. And we talk about the film Cassie David wrote about her ex, Pete Davidson. Exposing him as a narcissistic, nice guy abuser. Stuff like that. And then this one. Pete Davidson is like a graphic. Slept his way to the top. How dating famous women made a man a star. And how wanting an audience makes women a joke. She liked both of those. A couple of think pieces, if you ask me. That's like, my brain's not computing. Especially because Kim, like, always reflects back on that relationship. Like, extremely positively. Even though, you know, I'm always down to, like, come up with. Yeah, she does. Pete Davidson slander. She, actually, a lot of the women who. Spend time with him. Publicly. Ariana always says nice things about him. Now, others. I believe Carly Aquilino. But not every relationship is the same. You know? No, and also, when you're dating, like, a woman. A woman, excuse me. Who's more powerful, more famous, wealthy. Like, you behave. It's when you're the one who's in, like, the power dynamic. It's like, I say Kim broke up with Pete. Then, yeah, you're always going to talk nicely about that, like, guy that you, like, broke up with. Who was sad. But if he broke up with them, they might feel a little different. Yeah, and I do think that's probably how Carly Aquilino feels. She started this whole Pete Davidson thing. She doesn't get enough credit. Yeah. So, I think every relationship is different. He's had so many that they're all going to have a different story. But similar threads. Yes. So, yeah, she talked about how she was single and focused on her family and her businesses. And now she's ready to open up. But she didn't want to talk about Louis. So, she didn't talk about Louis. But, like, all she does is post carousels of her and Louis. Yeah. She said respectfully, like, no, I don't want to talk about that. Okay, well, she's also. I just recently in Paris with Louis. I think. I saw this reel. And I wasn't sure if it was, like, AI generated or, like, fake or not. But I think it's, like, the 10-year anniversary of her robbery. And he took her on a trip to Paris to, like, make new memories of the date and the city. And it was very sweet. That's really sweet. But, again, it might have just been, like, AI slop. I'm not sure. Yeah. I'm sure it wasn't. Yeah, no, it sounds legit. That would be a weird thing for someone to spend their time doing on AI. It would. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. You know what? I'm going to move this up. Speaking of Paris Fashion Week. Let me think. Let me think. I don't know if you even saw this. But there's a random feud brewing between Rihanna and EJ Johnson. Have you seen this? Things that mean a lot to me? This. Tell me everything. Okay. So, earlier this week, EJ, I guess, has been in Paris Fashion Week. I did see EJ at Paris Fashion Week. Fans behind the scenes look at them getting ready to go to designer shows. He talked about Rihanna's lateness. Did you see that she was late from that show? I went to the Fecal Matter show. Yeah. They waited. They held the show for her because she couldn't get there for 45 minutes. And everybody was so upset because everybody had to sit around waiting. But the brand didn't seem to mind. And they held it. So, about that, he said it did start an hour late because Rihanna was late. And you know, we didn't care to wait for her. But the show was beautiful nonetheless. Then, there were also a couple other comments that he had made. In the last year or so, following the Met Gala, EJ said big names such as Beyonce, Rihanna, and Kim fell short with their looks. And so, that's the only other. So. Like, piece of, like, Rihanna. Anyways, some Instagram posted a video of, like, EJ getting blocked by paparazzi from going into their hotel. It says EJ Johnson gets blocked from entering his hotel after posing for paparazzi at Fashion Week in Paris, France. And there's a video of it. And Rihanna commented. You're kidding me. She commented, damn. That's so funny. I have to tell you something. Like, what? Okay. Because I'm, like, almost 100% sure. Oh. They, them, or she, her. I saw you fighting for your life. No, no, no. I was saying them, but then the Hollywood fix, get them, wrote his in their caption. Because I was saying them. You did. I said them. You did. The whole time. And I'm going to do my best. Hollywood fix. But I actually saw TikTok this morning. You know, people really have a problem with EJ Johnson because, like, a couple of years ago, they said something like, you know, I wear a dress better than any woman could. Like, really just, like, speaking so derogatory to women. And then, of course, I have a boyfriend. They sort of, like, pulled out receipts of that not being the truth. And so he's kind of been trolled ever since then. Oh, fuck. Sorry. They've kind of been trolled ever since then. And it always makes me laugh. So I guess, like, Rihanna knows about the lore. Oh, I wonder if she knows about that. It was such, like, a random. Literally nobody. Nobody's told. I actually. So the only pieces of information from, like, Rihanna v. EJ is, like, what he said about, they said about the Fecal Matter show. And then also, like, someone unearthed what he had, they had said. Back in the day. About Met Gala 2026. He said, like, I don't know. They said, it's a very hard day, especially for me to say that about Rihanna because she's been going through a lot. But, like, let's go back to Grope and the yellow cape that was cascading down the stairs all those years ago. I mean, it was bomb. So, like, pretty much saying, like, she hasn't dropped off since then. But there's no way Rihanna has seen that comment. So where is this coming from? Rihanna hates EJ Johnson, like, for her own reasons. She doesn't need her own reasons. This is seriously. Could have been something that happened privately. Of course. They probably frequent the same. I do want to talk about the Fecal Matter thing because people were, like, really up in arms about it when, like, seriously, who cares? I'm sure for a Brit, I heard about this brand for the first time less than a year ago. So, like, the fact that Rihanna's going to their show is such a big deal. Bitch, you would wait five hours. Like, and everyone else there, you're not important. Like, seriously, this is not about you. You're lucky to be there. Rihanna's going to be there. So everyone complaining. I'm like, seriously, you guys need to touch grass. No, I think that's insane. Of course they're going to wait for her. I think there are a couple, like, fashion people that any show will wait for. Rihanna. Is one of them. Anna Wintour. Zendaya. Kim. Kim. Wasn't that Kim was, like, five minutes late to the Victoria Beckham show? And Anna Wintour was, like, sitting there waiting. Yeah. That was really painful. Yeah, that was. She should have just. Kim's not a late person. Did you see Morgan Stewart, Miss Sarah May's show? I did. I'm so glad you brought up Morgan Stewart now that we're talking about the Rich Kids of Beverly Hills because I want to talk about Dorothy Wang's new YouTube show. Have you seen it? Yes, I want to talk about it. Also, Rich Kids is just bubbling up. It is. It's time for a revival. No, but also, like, some clip generator out there has started clipping Rich Kids. So I'm getting, like, bits and bobs of Rich Kids of, like, Dorothy and. Roxy. Roxy fighting in China. Oh. And I'm living. I'm living for it. I can't believe these things happen. I'm watching Girl in the Basement, the Lifetime original movie. That Dorothy called Roxy not well-traveled because she's suffering from jet lag. Jet lag. Yeah, apparently, like, back in the day, if you had jet lag, like, you were poor. So Rich Kids, best show ever. Dorothy Wang, who had, like, this most insane wedding last year, she, I guess, was documenting the whole thing with, like, a film crew, and she released this, like, reality show on YouTube. It's called, like, Dorothy Says I Do or something. And it's chronicling, you know, the planning of the wedding and, you know. And this last episode she released. She's talking. She's talking about who people think is Morgan. Because Morgan was not at the wedding. Now, if you know the Rich Kids lore, they were an iconic duo, but it wasn't a perfect friendship. And they kind of, like, never were spotted together ever again, but always a complimentary liking each other's things, congratulating one another, until recently. And then she wasn't at the wedding, and it felt kind of final. Morgan got married during COVID, so no one was at the wedding. And so Dorothy, on this episode, is talking about how she's rescinding an invite. Because this is a person who she wasn't, like, particularly close with, but, like, good terms. She's just describing it, sounds so much like Morgan, but like she went to an event for this person person and people were able to stitch together she's talking about a fashion week event for Renly um that was in New York and I guess like according to a legend Dorothy went she was like kind of last minute invited and like thrown at a bad seat at the end of the table and Dorothy was like so offended it was just sort of like you know what like this is not my friend and like I'm not gonna invite her to my wedding now it really could be anyone she doesn't say who it is not inviting to the wedding and rescinding yeah rescinding is a bold statement is a huge move and the friendship ending one and I do believe the friendship has ended yeah now I cannot confirm 100% that the story she's telling is about Morgan based on a couple of context clues given like dates cities things of that nature uh people do generally believe that it is Morgan but there's no proof of that that this is hard you know it's terrible it's hard for the fans of Rich Kids I think we've all always known that like they're they're they weren't as close in real life as the show made they did their confessionals together they were such like a great tv duo and I can yin and yang I can make peace with the fact that that's not how they were offline they were almost like co-workers like bestie co-workers but we go home at five o'clock and we have our own friends and I do believe they were very competitive with one another especially when the show started to blow up like it was kind of a recipe for disaster so I've made peace with the fact that they that they weren't as close as it always appeared to be and that you know that a lot of it was for show it didn't exist in real life but I can appreciate the art which and it was performance art and in the 10 years since I've gone on to stand both of them individually I don't even ask for anything no and they do such amazing work on their own they as women as creators as fashionistas like I I want nothing more from them so for there to be conflict between the two of them it's really inconvenient it's really hard and I just it just begs the question like why can't they just be friends like why don't they like each other I think that it really rooted in like this first of all they had like a couple of fights on the show but they always worked it out and I think that like when the show ended and they both like went their separate ways there was just like I think like a lot of competition I do I know it's like you know kind of reductive of me to boil it down to that but I do feel like when you're in the same space and you're like fighting for Instagram followers and attention and then the show gets canceled I feel like it's just a tough environment to be like a woman who supports other women I don't know I don't think it's that because they're both they both come from abundance and it's not like I just think they're it's not like that where they have to like it's you or me Dorothy's also pregnant she announced a couple of days ago I'm so excited for her and you know it's oozing out of me to tell you guys that I knew that yeah because I ran into her on the street and I was like what are you doing and she was like had this like band on her arm she's always one of like wellness doctors I'm like oh what are you going to like some like special doctor she was like I'm pregnant I was like oh my god me too no it's so exciting it is so exciting a Yankovic swang baby I've seen clips from her new show I'm seeing old clips from rich kids and it just sort of begging for some sort of reunion it's so good it's so good but I really it was a moment in time those people would never get back together no although like now with the EJ Johnson drama like I am sad like the Brendan drama and to be kids that was like kind of the most interesting thing about them um they all had great personalities but they weren't doing anything particularly interesting with their lives now they all really are between Morgan's like success as a fashion swirly and Dorothy just like being a traveling cosmopolitan woman I EJ of course beefing with Rihanna you see actually Dorothy is selling her home and it's the home that Taylor Swift used to live in in LA where she wrote 1989 wait I saw that the Taylor Swift house in 1989 is being sold but I thought Taylor was selling it by Dorothy Johns oh you said rock wait who Roxy sorry oh see oh yeah Roxy also married very well big family big Persian family Roxy and Shaza sunset when you know um they have the 1989 home and they're selling it I know it was a very charming eight million dollar house it's very beautiful if you're looking for an eight million dollar house in the LA area I would I would take I definitely recommend yeah yeah the pictures were party G oh and I showed you speaking of homes Robert Herjavec and Kim Herjavec gave I couldn't get an uh architectural digest interview so they went to home house beautiful no beautiful as party yeah I don't know home worthy looked nice too it's not architectural digest it was a very beautiful house in Muskoka so of the moment and I know you want to like shade them for not being an AD but like AD does a lot of ugly stuff too you know who doesn't house beautiful town and country like they only do beautiful things yeah um like I wouldn't I'm not shading Robert Herjavec I would never do that um and I resent the accusation it was a beautiful home in Muskoka a lot of the sharks like Muskoka Mr. Wonderful also lives there and that's where the next summer house is right oh they are doing a summer house Muskoka Muskoka is like having a moment that's the setting of that um Sterling Point show yeah it's like the Hamptons of Canada but it's so much cooler it's there are no streets like it's islands everybody you want to go somewhere you take a boat oh that's that wouldn't work for me but that would explain why they had like a boat garage so yes every house all the big houses and the boats are under the house yes and boats under their house yeah yeah yeah really gorgeous speed boats but you know Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna's frequent

we live for a rebrand soon to merge paramount warner brothers discovery officially has a name so this is sort of like the second half of that story we were talking about almost a year ago yeah i and i didn't like i was like they're almost they're almost and i didn't know that it's done so warner brothers beat netflix in paramount paramount beat netflix in buying warner brothers and like when this started netflix sent out an email to subscribe you guys i got an email from netflix when they were like buying warner brothers like we own warner brothers now like look forward to all warner brothers content like it was a done deal and paramount was like yeah look december 6 2025 an email from netflix because i subscribe welcoming warner brothers to netflix that was a subject line hi we recently announced that netflix will acquire warner brothers talk about getting ahead of yourself because there ended up being a hostile takeover they were like suing each other and you know what paramount won and it's really kind of a big deal for the streaming wars because netflix is currently winning the streaming wars in terms of like subscriber amounts like by the hundreds of millions and acquiring warner brothers which is hbo max like so many it was just sort of like making them even bigger paramount is like this sort of like small but mighty engine now they're acquiring they're entering the streaming wars in a major way um so i guess it took a whole year for them to work out that whole netflix thing yeah but like paramount was always willing to pay more even though warner brothers like wanted to go to netflix i guess that was what made it hostile but they had to take the deal from paramount because it was more money to the shareholders right right so now it will be paramount warner brothers and they have a new name and you know what i'm very change averse anytime someone's like our new name i'm like it sucks i kind of like it the new name is sky dance now does that mean like when i want to watch yellowstone i have to go to skydance.org like i hope so if if skydance will be paramount hbo hbo max hbo max go max and max it's also discovery plus discovery tlc lifetime etc hgtv magnolia magnolia where does magnolia go if all of that is now going to fall under skydance that works for me me too if you guys have any plan other than that that doesn't work for me oh agreed there's one path forward here and it's one app so you so it will be skydance netflix hulu peacock even though i think losing the hbo name is a huge loss the hbo name is so watered down it's not it's so when we were talking about the greatest shows of all time remember that list or the last century or whatever they were all hbo but also like within skydance then you can choose do you want to watch hbo of course paramount but hbo just has like a lot of recognition but just like hulu has abc like i think that it's fine but i do think if they want to be in the streaming wars like they need a one

different channels yeah right that's the latest sky dance are you ready for our fifth and final story which is which is a meaty one oh i'm so fucking ready yeah i just like needed to clear the deck so yeah we're ready there's no rush um how tanya zuckerbrot lost her 40 million dollar diet empire to one troll and the six year fight for justice so this is an old story this story began in 2020 tanya zuckerbrot is peak covid craziness tanya zuckerbrot is the founder of the f-factor diet which if you know what it was or you don't know at the time it was the flavor of the moment oh my god everyone was eating those gg crackers the gg crackers but also she had powder and it was like fiber powder that like you put in everything she had a huge collab at bloomingdale her whole thing was the f-factor was the fiber factor she was like you can eat whatever you want as long as you're eating fiber fiber was like the whole thing yeah celebrities were doing it i knew people who were doing everyone was eating those fucking crackers losing weight and she her business was doing like a million dollars a month it was valued at 40 million dollars then in 2020 an influencer named emily gellis started posting about f-factor and all of these testimonials of people saying that they had a bad experience with it she began publicizing anonymous testimonials from followers claiming they had suffered serious physical and mental health problems while following the f-factor diet she had never met tanya before but in just 75 days emily posted more than 4500 instagram stories and posts about zuckerbrot and f-factor in total she posted more than 50 000 and those videos have now come back to the surface like just instagram stories she made over the last six years accusing tanya at the time of the diet things and then later on because they got into a lawsuit using her of like having people follow her and they are actually the diary entries of a crazy person they're actually spooky to watch so emily linked the products to everything from gastric diseases and hair loss to panic attacks utis miscarriages and even death i remember the miscarriage thing because i couldn't believe it like they were making so many claims about this diet and one woman came forward anonymously and said that the diet caused her to have a miscarriage and i was like holy shit and emily obviously saw that and that's was huge for her cause she does no verification she said it's an anonymous thing and she posts it and it went that was really one of the things that like a catalyst of the whole scandal because that's a crazy accusation to make and then it turns out that the person i remember the whole thing was the person who made that accusation like did it anonymously like to support tanya to show that this girl will post anything and that's not true crazy which is by the way not really helping tanya because that was such a heinous allegation like it was everything was like i had my belly hurt or whatever yeah it did help just to show that emily gellis will post anything it didn't matter how dramatic no matter how um defamatory as long as someone sends it in her dms her business overnight when i never saw a gg cracker ever again so she alleged that in fact not even she didn't own gg crackers i know i know she had the fiber powders so she alleged that those powders was all about these powders contained dangerous levels of arsenic and contacted the company's retail partner and she was like i don't know what to do with that i don't know what to do with that to warn that it was selling poison so zuckerbot has a master's degree in nutrition and food studies from myu um emily gellis has no nutrition degree according to court papers seen by the post the products were manufactured in pharmaceutical grade facility tested for microbiological safety heavy metals and accuracy of their label claims at the time emily started posting all this tanya ignores her for a while the alligator i mean nobody had anything to do in 2020 except live for oh people on the internet you guys this was this was peak crazy girl behavior like all the crazy girls like people were living for this yeah so eventually um tanya went on the today show to fight back against the allegations um but at that point it was too late like her her business was over effective she said that she regrets that she hadn't done it sooner she went on nbc news and they showed them the independent like nutrition reports they verified it but it was sort of too late and tanya explains like how this ruined her life not even just her business but because tanya is independently wealthy i believe she has a very wealthy family and she's a very wealthy husband as well so like it was never about her being on the balls of her ass um but the business that this woman built by herself regardless of her financial background was just literally never to be seen again yeah so tanya spent the last few years fighting her in court yes i knew the shit out of her suing the shit out of her like i didn't know if i knew that this was still going on and then cut to over the weekend i'm scrolling my instagram and i see this video tanya zuckerbrot posted and by the way the girl posted it to the internet so like we knew that this had gone to court tanya was like taking her to court tanya was going to spend her and her husband's last dollar up to a million dollars suing this girl and the girl is not herself wealthy so like it was already you know she was in a bad spot and she even though when she knew she was being sued she did not stop posting about Tanya so and I think like we had heard like Tanya's doing well in the court and we're like good for her good for her and then Tanya Zuckerbach posts this you guys it's 10 minutes long I watched the whole thing she posts this video on Tanya's page and I'll just show you to show this is it is a hostage video this is Emily Ellis the girl she is doing this is obviously like a part of the settlement that she had to make this video and It's so fucking gorgeous. It is. My name is Emily Gallus, and I am here today to take full responsibility for the harm I caused to Tanya Zuckerbrot, her company, F-Factor, and her family. I know that this is not the point of the video, but I watched the whole thing, and it's very hard to watch because she does crispy arse. You know, she's like, Tanya Zuckerbrot. Like, I cannot. Sorry. Okay. By my actions. This is my public apology. In 2020, I came across information online about the F-Factor diet. Instead of verifying that information or seeking out credible sources, I used my platform to amplify and escalate those claims. What began as an inquiry evolved into a sustained and harmful campaign that was not grounded in verified facts. So then they spliced together this hostage video with some of her craziest videos on Instagram stories, talking about Tanya, talking about the facts. And then they started to get testimonials from people. She's wearing, like, a filter on her head the whole time. Just in case you were starting to feel bad for this girl, now you need to see what she said. The videos are insane. Like, the flashbacks? I told people to eat shit that made them sick, and then they came and told me, and then I came and told the internet. And if you don't like it, I don't care anymore. But I am sick and tired of hearing you talk about it on the internet every single day. But if you think that that is the only way, then I don't know. Lord, help us all. Because when you wake up in the morning, it's not normal to be like, I am. I'm not. I'm a registered dietitian, and I went to New York University. We know. We know, we know, we know, we know, we know, we know, we know, we know, we know, we know. I have a very functioning, working brain that taught me right from wrong. It's actually this very simple concept, but you know what? It's difficult for some people. The ramblings of a crazy person. Like, no, but she's, no, listen, she goes on about right from wrong, right from wrong. But she's the wrong. Of course. It's crazy to think. You guys, this is one of almost 50,000 videos she posted over the course of the six years. The person who edited this needs an actual award. Needs an Emmy. Needs a job here at the Toast. A thousand percent. 2020 protein powder in your pasta. Protein and fiber in every meal makes losing weight no big deal. The real deal. Put arsenic in your morning coffee. Mmm. Put arsenic. Arsenic coffee. Arsenic powder. Arsenic pasta. Arsenic salad. Sexy for summer. Crazy. You hurt people. She had people in the hospital physically sick. I mean, she still remains the worst. The worst as far as all these stories go. People losing their colons. People having hives all over their body. Distended stomachs. Like, somebody even died. It's a heart attack at 45 years old. You tell me that this person should be walking the street. These claims were not supported by. Okay, we don't need to watch the whole thing. But the crazier part is that, like, you know, then she continues to document the journey on social media about the lawsuit. And she's accusing Tanya of having Mossad agents follow her. People in unmarked vehicles following her and her family. Like, doxing her. Like, literally just making shit up. She didn't even let it go after the diet thing. So, honestly, I think a lot of people would have just given up. Because people have forgotten about this. And I feel like Tanya, like, whatever. She's fine. She's fine. She'll be fine. But, like, she did not stop until justice was served. And the thing is, is that I'm sure, like, with any diet or product, it's not made for every single person. Like, I'm sure there's somebody who had diarrhea from taking it. I've taken something. You know, you do a diet. I mean, I would hope you would have diarrhea from taking all that fiber. No, you know, you go on Atkins. It doesn't match with you. Like, it's not a perfect thing. They're very personal. But to make accusations, like, legally, you can't just say that shit. So, for, and then Emily then posted this video on her own account. Now, Emily does have this, like, army of people who believe her. People who think Tanya is this wrongdoer. And so, the comments are like, our girl. But I also, because I read in the comments, too, allegedly, I think the settlement was around $200,000. Yeah, $240,000. That she has to pay, like, monthly. Because the disparity. Yeah. The disparity in finances cannot be overstated here. And this video. If I was Tanya, I would have been just happy with the video. But, of course, $200,000 never hurt. But I think she really just wanted to hurt this person, like, as much as she possibly could. I actually think that, like, she probably was getting a financial settlement because that's what you would expect if you're suing someone for damages. Yeah. And she lost $40 million. The video was the cherry on top. The fact that her legal team even had the sense to ask, demand this in the settlement. It's true. Is fucking brilliant. Yeah, I think that, like, Tanya really wants her credibility reinstated. Like, it was just. It was just so quick. And you have to remember the time that we were living in. But also, like, if there was just a settlement, it would have been a headline. These two settled. Yeah. She paid her $200,000. This was forever. No, it just has made it almost as viral as the initial claims in 2020. It's true. Because she can't counteract all the damage that was done. F-Factor won't. You can't. Lightning doesn't strike twice. Everyone's moved on. You know, everyone's. Trends have changed. GLP-1s. With all this fiber work with the GLP-1. Actually, you are supposed to take a lot of fiber and protein. When you have a GLP-1. GLP-1. Tanya, it's your time. But so, just for it to have even a fraction of the virality that Emily's had in 2020, that feels more like justice than the money. Because also, the money is not justice. She lost $40 million. But also, so much crazy shit happened on the internet during COVID. And, like, we all just sort of, like, laid it to rest. Like, oh, we were crazy. Like, but the fact that Tanya didn't let this go, like, is what I admire most about her. Because, like, you can't just make shit up. Right. I feel like there's so many, like, there's so few consequences for, like, people who destroy other people's lives on the internet. Like, because you see it happen all the time. And nobody, nobody gets sued. Nobody goes to jail. Nobody does anything. They all just move on, even when they're proven wrong. A couple reasons why people don't sue. It's really hard to prove defamation. Tanya spent a million dollars over six years. It's very expensive. It will consume your entire life. But, like, Tanya could do it. Right. A woman of means. The reason why I love this is that maybe it will have people thinking twice before they go crazy. And dedicate their life to taking down a person. Whether or not, I'm sure at the time, Emily believed, like, she obviously believed she was doing the right thing. That Tanya's selling arsenic powder. But even when she was proved wrong, she didn't stop. No, and, like, this will make the next person think twice. So I think this is a gorgeous precedent. Precedent to send. And, yeah, everybody who has had their life ruined on the internet doesn't want to perpetuate the ruination by spending six years fighting it. Of course. When they can spend six years. No, and you want to heal. Yeah. You want to heal. You want to keep talking about this. You have to work. So emotionally. Emotionally, too. Tanya's in a unique position. She's in a unique position. So thank you, Tanya. I could not believe my eyes and ears when I was watching this video. Now, the comments are so differing because they posted the video. They should have done a collab post. But they posted the on Tanya's video, on Tanya's page, which is where I saw it first. And all the comments were like, Tanya, I'm so happy for you. Like, good for you. Never giving up. And then I saw the video on Emily's page. And the comments were like, we know why she's doing this. She's being forced to. She's being held hostage. And it's like, well, yeah, she is being forced to. But, like, that's because that's what the court found. She's being forced to by a judge. By the law. And you know what? The wheels of justice turn slow. But they work mighty fine. It was a beautiful ending to one of the crazier sagas I've lived through on the internet. And I wasn't even particularly obsessed with it at the time. People were, especially because in the city, all my friends, they were obsessed with Gigi. And everyone knew it was doing that factor, yeah. And so it was like a big scandal. I was like, I don't do diets. This doesn't apply to me. But now I'm like, wait, this really was so crazy. Yeah. And I think that's the end of it. I'm sure Emily Gellis, hopefully she's not stupid enough. Because there's obviously some sort of stipulation that she's never allowed to talk about Tanya ever again. Like, and if she does, like. Well, why would she? Well, the thing is, why would she? You can't even apply rationale here. Because she should have stopped talking about her years ago. Yes. But, like, now that she's been put in her place. Like, really, why would she? Do you want to lose another $200,000? Well, because she does have all these fans who, like, believe that she's sort of, like, the victim of this campaign from a wealthy woman. Listen, because I don't want to be now doing the opposite of ruining Emily Gellis. Like, even though that's what she did and that's what she deserves, honestly. It doesn't have to be shot for the complete other way. You have all these fans. Amazing. Go to work. Right. Link your outfits. Talk about something else. Yeah, yeah. Build up Emily's self. Not Tanya. You don't have to build up yourself breaking down others. Yeah. So, great. You have so many fans. Go have a career. Yeah. What a crazy video. Like, my job. It was on the floor. I didn't really watch them at the time. So, seeing, like, now, with the perspective of hindsight, seeing these Instagram stories where, at the time, people were, like, subscribing Emily. I think her followers were growing so much, like, they couldn't wait to see what Emily was dropping today. Now, seeing them, like, knowing what we know, it's like, we should have called the police. We should have called the police. Lock her up. Like, insane. Yeah. One of the craziest things I've ever lived through. Yeah. So. So, yeah. That's a wrap on that. Hopefully. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. I think, like, Emily should just take this L, not take it any further. Like, just like Jackie said, have it. I think she has kids. Like, just enjoy it. - Enjoy your life. It's over. - Yeah. - You did bad. - And you have fans still. - Yeah. They were a lot of support for her in her comments. - Great.
