Good morning. It's the It's Jackson Claude and we're your host. It's your favorite show. The best five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. They sound amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the toast Queen Corgi herself, Claudia Ashray.

Yes. Hello. Hello, my loyal subjects. It is me, Queen Corgi. My reign has ended,

but it's also just begun. Corgi, we love you. Let me put my crown on. Hold on. Ah, that's better.

Queens fix each other's crown. Oh, yeah. Here are your headphones. Oh, Corgi, we love you.

Thank you. Yeah, I'm Yeah. Yeah, they love me. The rumors are true. Yeah, she is the queen Corgi.

Oh my god. I feel like this is similar to the episode um where I told everyone I was pregnant. Like this big secret I was keeping. So hard to keep.

Mhm. So hard to keep. I actually was having flashbacks to being pregnant because it was that same thing. Like so excited. The biggest thing in my life is happening and I can't talk about it. I'm singing on television. For anyone who might not know, Claudia was on the Mass Singer and last night she actually she did something shocking. We're gonna recap the best episode of TV ever.

Uh she unmasked herself on the Mass Ser. So rumors have been a swirling. Yes. I'd like to shout out to that girl Grace on TikTok who literally figured it out before the first episode even aired before like there was a commercial. They released like a couple of hints and this girl was like, "I'm pretty sure this is Claudia from the Toast." She was 100% right and she put everyone on and you know how hard it was for me like not to get involved. They're talking about me on TikTok and I can't say anything like Okay.

Yeah. And I feel like your silence was sort of confirmation. I know cuz if any other year like there was a rumor about me being on a TV show like I would come down and speak my truth.

And in the past there have been rumors like oh is that Claudia on mass singer and this year the rumors were true.

Yeah. She is the queen corgi. Last night was your final performance on the mass singer. You premiered with don't rain on my parade which a lot of the toasters were watching. We all knew it was you.

So I thought that that would be a good song. the the actually the the selection process is really interesting. There's like a couple of factors like legally some songs can get cleared. You're allowed to ask for certain songs if anybody's ever sang it before. You're most likely not allowed to. Sometimes they make exceptions. Um like if it's a theme or something. Um so I knew I wanted to get like a couple of songs cleared. Some of my songs did not get cleared which was really tough. But don't Rain on My Parade did. And I thought it'd be the perfect way to start. You know, I thought people wouldn't have before I even premiered my first episode. People knew it was me.

But like I thought that if I gave him a little clue with the song, the song is so me. And I did request the Glee version, which they were more than happy to oblige. So I did sing the Liam Michelle version in case anyone was wondering. Um, and I thought that would be like a little nod to the Toasters Watching, being like, "Yes, it's your girl."

Meanwhile, they did so many nods to The Toasters Watching. They did all these packages with

So cute. The first package was so cute. It was all about you in New York City and like blogging. And then last night's package. Was anyone else crying?

I was. I was like really overwhelmed. The mama corgi and the baby corgi. So, last night was sort of poetic for me because, you know, I've been trying to get Ruby to cos sleep with me for like a month now and he's like, "Girl, get away from me." Well, he's got a little bit of a runny nose. We put him down, he started crying. He started co-sleeping with me at like 8:00. I'm like, I'm kind of on TV, Ruby.

So, I was like missing the first 10 minutes. Um, and then he fell asleep so hard that I just put the TV on and he slept through like while on my chest. It was kind of a dream. And I did end up and I will talk about it more in depth this here and also on Patreon. I did end up leaving the massing room and withdrawing from the competition like you know for Ruby and like for for for that journey. to the fact that like he needed his mom on the night of my big night. Like it was just kind of like a beautiful ending. Yeah, it really was

full circle. So yeah. Um we're going to do like a full in-depth episode taking questions about like the whole journey, but not me. Like okay, so when I went to LA in October, it was like and let's just be clear like I think that's proof that I would be an amazing trader. I was like my lies I was surprised nobody was on to me in October. The whole thing was so fcocked. Like I went to LA and it was like we stayed longer then we stayed shorter and it was all for Ben. like I would ever do something like that for Ben. Like, but everyone was like living for I don't know. I just feel like that's proof I would be an amazing trader.

That's a good point. I was being such a liar. Like insane. Yeah. And like you have to be. And in general, I'm like I don't support lying, but it was for the greater good. They are ironclad airtight over there. Oh my god. I didn't tell anyone.

Jackie took it really seriously. I did too, obviously, but I don't know why. I just thought not everyone else would. Jackie was taking it so seriously. Like like seriously freezing up when people would ask her like, "Why is Claudia in LA?" She's like

for last night Dana texted when you revealed yourself. She was like, "Oh my god, that was amazing." And I'm like, "How did you even know about it?" Maybe from the internet. She But I didn't tell her.

No, I didn't. I didn't think that you did. Don't worry. I didn't tell. I appreciate how much you like took it seriously. They take it so seriously over there. Like I thought I had seen the show and I know that like they make everybody like cover up and wear masks and I thought there was like like a performative element to that. Like there aren't people actually walking around the lot wearing masks over their face. You guys, I was not allowed to leave my trailer without gloves, pants, obviously, their their pants, their sweatshirt, a face mask, socks covering everything. They didn't want a piece of jewelry. I guess there's like a lot of photos that get leaked. Um, and I was like literally wearing my toast merch,

so obviously like the Archie party shirt was going to be a red flag. Um, they take it so seriously. You have to sign like a lot of documents. Like you are not allowed to tell anyone. Um, and like it was it was the craziest experience of my life. Um, and I did it. So I found out I was going to be on they called me over the summer, right? We were out to dinner.

Um, so at that point I was two months postpartum and I knew it was going to be in October. So I was like, "Okay, I'm going to be four months postpartum and like I'll be fine." Like four months. I was already feeling like pretty good, you know?

Um, and I don't know if it was like this huge life change like I moved to LA. I moved my whole family. I'm still exclusively breastfeeding. I have a fourmonth old. I'm working full-time and I was about to start maternity leave for you. So, I was going to be doing like a little bit more work than usual. I don't know if it was like all of that that like kind of sent me into a spiral or um just like postpartum finally hitting me cuz I used to always say like postpartum depression is afraid of me. Postpartum anxiety is afraid of me. I'm like, girl, no, I'm afraid of it. Like, and I spoke about it a little bit on the podcast when I got back from LA talking about how I was like having anxiety, but I couldn't really get into like real reasons why. Um, but I think like all the life changes, this big opportunity, and then like the postpartum, I like had a full crash out. Like I was really not okay and I was like kind of freaking out

because I had signed on to do the show and like I didn't know if they were going to be understanding of like I was like I didn't know how to explain like I'm not okay. Um, and actually everybody who worked there like was a girl. Like two of them were pregnant. Like I have to say everyone at Fox was so nice, so understanding. They gave me like a like a a bunch of, you know, ways to to work through it. they were going to and I was just like listen I feel like for the best thing and I was also like I didn't realize how much anx I never really left Ruby before right like I did my maternity leave we went to the Hampton's um I have a very amazing flexible job where I get to like be with my baby most of the day um and I never spent that time much time away from him before and I was like really unhappy and then like pumping in the trailer like it was just I I took on way more than I thought I would and I felt like you know what I

have sung on TV now more than once I got to live out my dreams I did what I came here to do I do know that if I was in a different place in my life like I would have won. I'm sorry. I know everybody thinks so. Like Jenny McCarthy told me when she Oh, so and then when Jenny McCarthy came on the toast like that was obviously like coordinated with us and Fox and they were like wanting to like leave little um Easter egg

us and Fox. Yeah, we work with Fox the network. I don't know if you guys are familiar.

Um I have not heard of it but and so we were talking after and she was like we were shook like we really thought you could have won. I'm like no I know. And it's like for a lot of people they're new to my voice. You obviously are not. I'm not. This is just like my party trick. Um she was so shook. Obviously, she was also really understanding. Um,

no one was more shook than Ken Jang. Oh my god, watching them last night. He loves you.

That's my king right there. He loves you. Okay. Like obviously and Rita loved you, too.

So, obviously they film a lot. Um, and not everything makes it to air. And I was like really hoping this one comment made it to air, but it didn't. But Rita Ora was like, "Oh my god, I love your podcast. You host with your sister, right?" And I was like, cuz you know sometimes you're like not everyone's going to know your podcast. Rita was like, "I love your podcast." No, I'm not the biggest Rita horror fan. Now, she was so nice. She would love the podcast. She's like, "Your sister." I think she even said like red hair. It's a sister.

I'm like, "Yes, my sister." But she was also the one who guessed Nikki Milinsky.

Oh, yeah. And last night the guesses were even more off. Yeah. Like they kept the packages are kind of um varied. So, they were, you know, said I was a comedian. They also alluded to like viral content and they just went straight on like the more traditional comedian past. So, they were guessing like Whitney Cummings, Amy Schumer. SNL last week cuz it said live from New York. Then

but I record my podcast live from New York, right? And then this week they focus more on like podcast. They had like the C and the J on the

Oh, did they like in the studio that you were recording in like the CJ, which is such a throwback.

Such a throwback. No, they really do their due diligence. Like I don't know how much I'm like allowed to say. I feel like I really don't want to get in trouble. But you do these meetings before where they ask you a million questions that kind of like turn into therapy almost cuz they really want to know about you, your journey, um your journey to stardom, you know, rough patches you've been through, great things you've been through. So they do these really in-depth sort sort of like therapy sessions to learn more about you. And that's why the

the packages like the cuts go so deep, you know, and so if you're like an OG toaster, like it was so obvious. If you just listen to the podcast passively, some of these things might have missed you. But then my secret clue last night was a piece of bread.

Yeah. So obviously a piece of toast also. Then last night they focused more on how you just had a baby and it was actually like a perfect way to sum your journey. They had Queen Corgi with her

corgi. No, it was very emotional. It was very emotional. I was like holding Ruby. Like I was not okay.

I was not okay. And then I was not okay watching you sing like every time. I'm the biggest fan of Queen Corgi. Like I'm obsessed with the costume.

Queen Corgi has no fans. I'm dead. We need to talk about Queen Corgi herself cuz she's so iconic.

Okay. And let me tell you guys, like you are dead ass in that costume. I thought for sure when I signed up I was like great. Like I obviously go to like a recording studio and like somebody else is in the costume and like whatever. No, like I'm singing like it's I'm that microphone is on. I was like I just thought there was no way like I thought there was element of TV magic to it whether like I'm not actually singing live or I'm not actually in the costume. No, you are singing live and I feel like you can hear me breathing because it's very hard. You are in the full [ __ ] costume and you are singing completely live in front of a studio audience. The whole thing is real to tape. like it's live to tape. It's not I thought it was for sure like movie magic in iMovie, you know. No, I'm Guys, I was in there. Not only am I just like such a temperature person, I'm also breastfeeding and postpartum. I was sweating. They do give

you a little bit of an opportunity to like touch up before you might be unmasking. Um, so I shout out to Haley. I feel like everyone's talking about my glam. Haley Hoff. That's my girl in LA. So, I knew I was going to like look sick. I feel like I actually looked amazing. And um a lot of people are also talking about my hair. Um, and I believe I did my own hair. I'm trying to remember.

Yeah, I was giving Tresomeme. I was giving $100,000. I feel like I need like a like a like a hair commercial after that.

I agree. Yeah, like Tresemme, come find me. I I agree with that. No, the makeup was slaying. So, you're wearing like the most insane. You start off in like this.

Your costume was really huge cuz I I saw some of the other costumes. They weren't at like yours was like a mascot.

Yes. Oh my god. Justice for every mascot. I'm sorry. like she was dressed to the tea purse.

She's so [ __ ] cute. And if you really look up close, there are a lot of clues about me in the um costume like my pins and stuff, the purse, like it was so cute. It's ve like it's insane the operation. I've never been on like a besides for like you know doing a tour. I've never been on like a TV lot before. So they take you it's like so you know entourage. They take you in a golf cart everywhere like to wardrobe to vocal warm-ups. Shout out to Tim, my vocal coach. He's coached a lot of winners and that's obviously why they paired him with me. Little did he know I was going to withdraw from the competition. Um,

I'm withdrawing from the competition. Oh, and by the way, they have the voice. It's so crazy. Like the tech they have the voice changer on your microphone. So really, nobody heard me the whole time. I thought that was added after. No, no, the whole thing is really um

legit. Like they do not mess around there. They take it so seriously. Um, and so I was like on the golf cart being taken to like vocal warm-ups and then like dress rehearsal. Um, and they also like had made a special schedule for me to have feedings in between. So I was pumping and also feeding like Ben was coming um, with Rue. It was a lot.

It It is a lot. It was a lot. I I'm so glad that I did it and I literally like lived my dream of singing on TV and then especially when I took the mask off like s by did anybody notice like not me not opening my eyes the entire time. Like once the mask was off and they let you sing.

They let you sing one more time. I was actually being shy. I've never sung. Like I'm not a singer.

You would never know. The singing was insane. Oh, that part I knew I was going to slay the house down boots on.

The song choice last night, which isn't usually in your repertoire. So they sent me a bunch of songs and they were really like amanable. I'm so specific. You know, I have like five karaoke songs and I wanted to sing all them. I really wanted to sing Valerie, but somebody had already sung it and it's kind of like a Hallmark performance in the Massinger Hall of Fame. I don't know. They were like, "Don't mess with it." I'm like, "Okay, I'm not doing it." So they recommend Unstoppable and it's not a song I've ever sung and so I was immediately going to be like no and Ben was like okay cardboard cooji give it a chance. Um, and the thing is about these songs that like I that's what I really learned when working with like the vocal per they arrange it. So if it's not in your key, like they make it in your key.

So they were like, "Give it a chance." And during one of my like vocal training sessions over Zoom, like leading up to the show, they were like, "Just try it. We'll find the right key for you." And I knew instantly I'm like, "Oh, slay the house down boots." Like I sounded so good. That's why it's really important to be open to new things. But, you know, my voice is so personal to me and like my singing I'm just like

I'm not a professional singer. this is just my hobby and like I take it so seriously. So, I was glad that I tried something new cuz I thought I sounded amazing.

You sounded amazing. But also the song and the message, it's such an amazing song that like hasn't been resurfaced in 10 years. Like when it came out, it was Unstoppable and I'm so like it was the perfect song for you vocally and also messageoriented. It's not lost on me that I'm singing unstoppable the night that I decide to stop, you know, singing at the

competition show, but unstoppable breastfeeder. Unstoppable mother. Unstoppable businesswoman.

She's she's just doing mass singing on her way like you know on her way guys. It's just a stop on the way.

When they told me I was doing it, my first reaction was like obviously I'm not like I'm not in a place to do it. And then everyone really rallied around me. Ben specifically being like listen Ben knows my dream is to sing. So, like he was being like, "You have to do it." And I was like, "Yeah, I have to do it." And leading up to the actual move, I was having so much anxiety. Like, you know me, I don't go anywhere.

No. And like it was literally days before. Yeah. It was a real game time decision. Like I almost pulled out at the 11th hour cuz I'm like, "This is so crazy. Like I'm not going to take my whole family and breastfeed. Like we've never We did a 6-hour flight. Like it was the whole concept was so crazy to me." But I was like, "You know what? I'm doing it like yolo. True yolo." And once I had gotten like two performances under my belt, I was like, you know what?

I I'm okay walking away. And yes, of course, it was nice of me to give some other people a chance because obviously I would have won.

Let me tell you, they take it so seriously. I did not know one other person. I've been watching live with everyone. Like, I'm dying to know who's on my TE season. Okay. Taji P. Henson.

Yeah. Okay. Tiffany Hattish. Like kind of a big big season for women in comedy.

Were the croissants revealed yet? cuz I feel like I saw clues as to who they were and I think that's who they are.

So I was being like I don't know if everybody else cares as much about the other contestants but I'm also like I'm still me.

Right. So like during dress rehearsals like you can kind of hear. I'm listening so hard. I have this video. I have my head up against my I shared a trailer. So the trailer's like split with a wall. It's not like a real wall. I have my ear up so close. I hear this guy. I don't know who it was. I felt like it was an athlete cuz he was talking about how he's not like a professional singer. and Big Poppy, who was like the famous um I want to say Yankee. Um he was just unmasked a couple of weeks ago. I think it was him. Um I don't know. I heard someone else. She's still in the competition. I'm not going to say who I think it is, but other people online do think that it's her, too. Um I did hear the Chryslies and I was like, "Sorry, I heard the Croissants." And I'm like, "Oh, that's the Chryslies." They sang Jailhouse Rock. They had just gotten out of jail. The Chryslies. There's two of them.

There were two Croissants. I figured it out myself. I was literally playing the game. I don't know who wins. I don't know who's still in the competition. Like people online are guessing and I have similar guesses. Um but I have no information. I have like no intel on my fellow

your fellow masked singers. I'm dying to know who Pugaso is because that's who I sang up against. People online say it's Matthew Morrison and like you guys don't understand. I was in the same room as this person but we were wearing our mask. So if I was in the same room as Matthew Morrison like I will die.

I don't think it was Matthew Morrison. I saw some guesses and there was one that I thought was the most compelling and it was some guy from Hamilton.

Anthony Ramos. Yeah. Yeah. They think it's now Anthony Ramos or Cord Over Street.

Before they thought it was Cordover Street, but his package like didn't I know give Cord.

So I also think it's Cord Over Street and I'm actually friends with Cord Over Street. I kind of just want to text him and ask, but like if you don't understand, we're in the same room. We're like battling against each other and we don't know who it is and it's someone I know. I really want it to be Matthew Marson just for the lore. Like,

oh yeah, the lore. So, we'll wait to find out when he gets unmasked. Or a she. No, it's a she. I mean, it's a he. It is a he. It's a he.

Oh, and I have so many Tik Toks to post, you guys. Like, I was in the trailer and I I don't know. I feel like I might get in trouble. Like, I was filming so much. I mean, it's so secretive. They're deadass serious about it. Um, and I was like, I can't even make Tik Toks. I didn't ask. I just like film them, you know?

I just wait for somebody to yell at me. No, I feel like it's great once everything's revealed. Like, I feel like it's pop off queen corgi. Pop off Queen Corg.

Queen Corg. I know that Robin Thick had no idea who I was. Like I know Rita and um Jenny did.

Um Ken I just feel like is just happy to be there. Ken just loves you and your voice

and Robin I feel like he he's perfect at guessing like some of the actual like music people especially like from like you know a little bit older. So I know Robin has no had no idea who I was and he was just like happy like for me you know like he was just like go girl

do your thing. Do your thing. Go to your baby. And I feel like we talk about the Mass Singer all the time because like famously I was asked to audition like a couple years ago and they passed on me. You were?

Oh yeah, I sent in a video. Oh. They were like, "Mass singing's interested. Can you send a video of you singing?" And I was like, "Absolutely. Say less." This was like 5 years ago. Um and then I never heard back and they were like, "Yeah, they like went in another direction." I'm like, "Okay, that's fine." Um and then of course it comes like at just an inconvenient time for me and I could not pass up the opportunity and I'm really glad that I did it. It was so crazy. It will go down in history like something I'll be telling my grandkids that I did. It's so unreal.

No. And it was just so much fun for the community. Like every That's by the way, that's why I did it. Like I knew when there was like rumors starting. I I I had hoped that when I was on the show, like a couple of toasters would be watching and like starting, you know, secrets about me on TikTok and stuff. And it happened in a bigger way. I didn't know people were going to figure it out so quickly. Um but like I literally did it for the like I'm a podcaster. People know my voice. Like my voice is my

trade trade. So, I had a feeling people were going to figure it out and it was going to be like really fun for the toasters to play along. And so, I really feel like I did it for the lore. I did it for the community.

No, you absolutely had to. I had to. Yeah. And for me, it's my new favorite show.

It's so good. We need the costume. We need Queen Courtney. I know. I was trying to like steal stuff from set, but when I went, they do this like post show interview where you just like talk about your experience and they have like all the masks ever. So, it's like it's an important part of their history. They don't like give it away.

Yeah. I wanted my microphone. I'm like, I couldn't take anything. I understand.

Yeah, but if they ever need to free up space in the storage room, please Queen Corgi on the

We need her. I love her. She's so cute. She's precious. Oh, and she like I'm going to cry, but she was obviously like an odd to an odd a nod to Theo,

of course. So, when they were asking if there are any animals that like mean a lot to me, I'm like, well, King Charles Cavaliers. And if they had made me a dog who's a King Charles Cavalere, that would have been too obvious. So instead of making me a King Charles, they made me a Queen Corgi. It's kind of brilliant. And they know we're obsessed with the royal family. One of our like viral moments is us dressing up as a royal family. So it was very much a nod to Queen Elizabeth. It was a nod to you. Like my queeny girl. Like you're so Queen Elizabeth. My purse and my shoes were so you like it was a nod to all things toast. They really I feel like handled my story so beautifully.

They treated your story with care and love. They really And it's crazy that they do that for everyone.

I know. It's so crazy. Like, does everybody else get choked up watching their own packages? Like,

I think so. Right. I'm sorry. And little corgi. No, that was actually too much. I hadn't seen that. So, I obviously was there for my performances. I know what like the judges said. I know. I knew what to expect from most of it, but I didn't see the packages. They had me record some like voiceover stuff, so I had an idea of like what it was going to look like, but I didn't know I was getting an AI generated like insane. Insane. So cute.

So cute. I keep looking at the picture. I need a better one. Like I have a picture on my phone, but I want a better one.

I'll ask them for like the HD. We have to frame that, too. So, it's so cute. I can't

put it in the frames. Yes, that's what the frames have been waiting for. Oh, and then the craziest part is at my room at Jackie's house. Um, obviously I have like an onsuite bathroom. It's beautiful. You've made it lovely for me. And when you were redecorating it, you got like a piece of art for the bathroom. It's a picture of a corgi.

It's a It's a King Charles Cavalier. Okay. It's a picture of a King Charles Cavalere dressed up as like a royal. It's wearing a crown, a like literally a cape.

It's Queen Corky. I have to post a picture on my Instagram, you guys. It's freaky. When I went to your house for the first time after having filmed that, I was like,

you're having flashbacks. Who are you? Like I'm the owner of this house. It's my It's my husband. It's King Corgi.

Your husband is coming. We have to film a Tik Tok with that thing. It's the craziest thing. We will.

Where'd you get that piece of art? Wayfair. You've got just what I need. Wayfair, you got just what I need. That's also why you've been singing so much. Of course. And I was like trying to leave like hints for everyone. Like

there were so many hints over the last from us in the show from my interview with Jenny.

Yeah. We slayed. I just want to say like Taylor Swift could never do what we've done here.

Oh my gosh. It It's been a pleasure. It has been a pleasure. Now, there's going to be a full episode. Okay. So, we released an episode this morning. Um yesterday after all the chili talk, we did want to make a chili and we got together to watch the massinger like my unmasking episode. So, everybody was getting together. We had to make dinner. Um so, we ended up, of course, making chili. We vlogged the whole thing, our big night. Um,

it's actually a hysterical vlog. Something crazy happens in the vlog. We're like, we're making chili. It's Jackie's recipe. Jackie's house. She like won't even let me do anything besides open cans. And 5 minutes after um we start cooking, Jackie realizes that she has a meeting. Um, so she leaves me like we've already started. Like the onions are

I just like completely planned poorly. I don't know why I thought I could make the chili all by myself. You you I couldn't even open the cans. Like

I had 25 minutes, but I had like five minutes. Um, yeah. I made dinner all by myself. It was insane.

Yeah. And she follow like I had my the recipe written down. So that's all she had to go on. It's kind of like Great British British Bake Off. That's what they do. They get like a recipe that's kind of loosely written and you have to figure it out.

That's funny. Yeah. They don't tell you like exactly how long you cook for, exactly how much. They're like mix the flour and the sugar and you're like, "Okay." But they're professional bakers. It was great chili bakeoff.

So that blog is on Patreon. And then tomorrow we've we're um asking people to submit questions about my experience on the show and we're going to be here recording like a Q&A answering everything from you know BTS things kind of some of the challenges I went through. I really don't want to get into it so deep like it was a very challenging time for me.

Every time I talk about it I start crying. Um so I'll talk about it on Patreon but like very challenging time for Cooji. I thought I was like I don't know why I thought I was like immune to any like postpartum blues or anything or anxiety. I don't even know what to call it, but um I was not okay. Like I was actually not okay. And like shout out to everyone at Fox, Haley, Zena, like Madison, Logan, the girls, like helping me out. Like everyone ushered me through. I think they could see I was not okay. And they really um made it a wonderful experience for me. Like I look back on that time very fondly now, even though it was like a dark emotional time for me.

So you say Fox supports mamas? Absolutely. I would say Fox supports mamas and women.

Yes. And everyone there was pregnant. when I saw like the fox exec who had like I had never met but I know she was um like in charge um and she was pregnant I was like thank [ __ ] god like oh and she was a swirly she was a toaster Haley so I was like I spoke to her this morning like oh I was I was feeling cuz

it's always a relief when you meet a swirly it's so true like when you're in swirly hands

yeah pregnant swirly hands it's done the softest the softest of all so that will be coming to Patreon but there's already a vlog up there it is just a regular episode even though like I'm having this huge moment you know it's always happens like on on the toast where like I feel like what's the phrase like the more things change the more they stay the same. I feel like so many times throughout history we've had like insane huge highs lows happen on the toast but we still have to like show up and do the episode you know and that's today it's like what do you mean we're talking about things that aren't Queen Corgi related?

Well, you know what Queen Corg is in the stories cuz Queen Corgi is making news. So we are going to talk about her a little more but we'll get into the stories to talk about her more and then we'll talk about everything else. Claudia and I watched Chloe and Wonderland together yesterday.

We did watch Chloe and Wonderland. Sorry the Tell me Lies recap. Obviously, we were not watching Tommy Lies last night.

Obviously not. I'll try tonight, but tomorrow will be Traiers Recap. I am watching Traers

tonight. Oh, it's one episode. It's one episode. Okay, we'll stay on on on track. I think it's more important that we stay on track of our traitors.

Tra, you know who's liking my content last night? Mora, did you see my close friend story today?

No. Oh, I shared Colton Underwood was liking my reals like about the mass singer.

Maybe he's on this season. Maybe he's Picasso. That would be good for him. Yeah. He mean he gets cast all the time. Like

I'm trying to think. We've We're not like I'm not pro. He saw some of our clips. I don't know. I feel like sometimes in an episode like we're anti- we're pro like we argue both.

No. I feel like last week I went really hard being like I'm not about this man and his demonic behavior and I reminded everybody about what actually happened between him and Cassie.

But like two weeks ago we said he's playing the game amazing. Yeah. He's amazing.

Maybe he's just a big mass singer fan. He's incredible. Maybe he's not a fan of me. He's a fan of Queen Corgi.

Queen Corgi. I love your work. Cardboard corgi. Cardboard corgi. No, she's she likes to spend.

No, she's very like lux and elegant. She spends. She drops coin. I mean, you should see Oh, first of all, I felt like, you know, in um the Taylor Swift documentary, she has like that stage built just to rehearse in. It's like in a I don't know where it is. It's like an airport hanger. They had one of those where I had to like practice all my choreography. It was so eraser.

Your chore geography. My choreography. Yeah. Which was almost impossible to do.

Does Corgi like to pop and lock and jam and break as much as she can? like during my first rehearsals and I have all the videos. I wonder if I'm allowed to post them. Um they were like, "Can you move a little bit more?" And I was like, "No, like I'm sorry. I literally can't." So like a lot of my moves were just like walking and I could move my arms. I could not move my legs. So it was a lot of like but the legs I had to do one.

Yeah, of course. I had to do one kick and unstoppable and I swear to God I thought I'd go to the hospital. Like it was insane.

That is hysterical. Well, let's get into the story so we can talk about you some more.

I love that. I love when the you know the prefast 5 banner is a vehicle um just to talk more about ourselves. Without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you do need to know.

You're welcome, Neutrfal. So, our first story, someone who needs no Neutrifall cuz she's furry as [ __ ] Mass singer contestant sounds like me, right? Queen Corgi shockingly withdraws seconds before elimination reveal. So we like what's so crazy is what you did was so unprecedented. It kind of like shook up the show.

I wasn't like aware at the time that it was like a huge deal. Um they keep saying it was I'm the first person to ever do it. I believe one or two people I mean there's 14 seasons. Um one or two people have done it historically. Um, I said it on the show and I'll say it here again. Like I I left to spend time with my family and like, you know, I felt like I was just missing and it's crazy. They grow up so fast. Like I felt like he was so old then. Like four months I was like, "Yeah, he's huge." He's 8 months now. Like I really um I know I made the right decision. Like that's how I haven't looked back once. I haven't like had one regret. Like I totally made the right decision. I got to do both like live out my dreams but also like prioritize my family and my babes. So, um, yeah. Not me like setting precedent.

Yeah. Not you setting precedent. Like Ruby out in the streets of LA. He loved it, by the way. Like he was fine. I was not.

You think he's an LA California boy? California. I mean, the weather like he that's why he loves it here and that's why we literally haven't gone home. He's so like he's so outdoorsy.

Oh, that's so cute. Um, and he was like kind of living his best life in LA. Like, and shout out to Ben for just like being so supportive. I had to like before bed last night, it was kind of like we closed a chapter and I was like, "By the way, thanks." Like I don't know if I said that yet. Like he was literally being like primary caregiver, being so supportive, like driving me around, like just doing everything, coming to set for feedings, leaving, like really like A+ supportive partner. Cannot cannot thank him enough.

Yeah, I'm just so obsessed with the whole thing. All of the content is so cute. I can't stop watching the Unstoppable clip. But after Don't Rain on My Parade, I watched that a million times.

I think I watched Don't Rain on My Parade 10,000 times. I don't regret choosing that song. I just want to say but it's I didn't really think about I can't lie up until I got there I really thought I wasn't actually going to be like singing in the costume. I thought like I would pre-record it and slay the house down boots but like having to do it in the costume. I feel like I didn't deliver my best possible vocal performance and you know it's a deep cut. Like yes true artists and you know people with good taste know that song.

But I'm singing on like a big network show and the guy I was singing against sang Ordinary by Alex Warren. Like everybody loved it. I wish I chose a little bit more of like a commercial pop radio hit, but it was true to me and it was my journey. But I do wish I maybe like I don't know. I kind of wish I chose a different song.

Yeah, because you would have won your round, which would have like felt good cuz it doesn't feel good to lose. But I think

but like not them putting me up against like the best singer. Like I feel like Pugaso wins. Like that was kind of uncool of them. Why couldn't they put me up against the Chris?

Especially if he's from Hamilton. Yeah. like please like or someone was actually out to get me when they were putting me up against Pug Caso. It was kind of like my episode of Say Yes to the Dress when they put me up against the girl who lost her house in like a flood,

right? Not cool. That was insane that they did that. I I will never stop talking about that.

It is. But if you just like watch if you watch half the episode, it's a good episode.

Forward through anything that's not Claudia. Not for any reason either. She lost her whole house, including her wedding dress. So they give her a free dress, but then they're so moved by her story, they pay for her whole wedding. And I'm over here in New York being like, I don't feel like this dress is nice enough. like so obnoxious and jappy like gh they did me so [ __ ] dirty on the show. Messinger would never.

Messinger would never. Um but I feel like true like people who appreciate art, you know,

and theater and theatrics and music. Yeah, of course. It's like such I could see that yours was better. The judges were shocked that you didn't win cuz it was fan vote. It was like audience voted.

Yeah. So I also think anybody who knows music, not to be obnoxious, like would know how much harder my song was to sing than his. So he's singing this like easy ass song in his costume and I'm singing this kind of power ballad like one of the toughest but only like true Barbara Liam Michelle like only the greats can sing that song. Sorry like that's to my own horn but like I deserve more credit.

It's so true. I'm looking at the rest of the people who are still in I have my theories on like who everyone is.

Oh, can we do it? Okay. I think that Okay, so first is Stingray. I have no idea. There's a lot of people who like are um Oh my god. There are a lot of people who are like I'm their target demo. Sorry. And then there's like there's somebody who's like a Mottown singer. Like I definitely don't know who that is. The athletes. I probably don't know.

Yeah. There was like a famous boxer who was unmasked week one. But I knew the Chris. I didn't know Big Poppy. I can't lie.

I have not. I knew Taraji P. Henson. I don't see Big Poppy here. We have David Ortiz.

Okay. That's Big Poppy. Are you okay? Oh, wait. Did I make that up? No, I'm pretty sure he was there.

Oh, and he's not a boxer. He's a Boston Red Sox, but that's like I didn't say boxer.

I did, but I just read Boston Red Sox is box. I think that's fair. Okay. Okay, that is fair.

Okay, so Stingray, you don't know. Snow Cone, I'm pretty sure is Heidi Pratt. Okay. Yeah, that's what everyone's saying. Picasso.

I'm sticking with Cordova Street. I just want to say this pug costume is gorgeous. Gorgeous.

I know. Next, Pengalin. I don't know. Owl. I don't know. High Voltage. I don't know.

Galaxy Girl. I think it's Ashley Simpson. I think it's Bridget Mendler. Oh, that was a good guess because like Galaxy

and everything was like about space and she like went left. She was a child actress who left to become an astronaut.

Not actress though. Child star. That's why I think it's Ashley Simpson. But she was a child star who left to become an astronaut.

Okay. But last night's clue was that that she dyed her hair to black from brunette to like leave her family behind. That's so Ashley Simpson.

Maybe Bridget Menler did that in her personal life. She didn't crane. No clue. Eggplant.

No clue. That's a tough costume. Crazy costume. I saw So on the doors of everyone's trailers, they have it. It won't say like Claudia Austri. It says Queen Corgi in a picture of the costume and like my trailer was nearby the eggplant and I was like, "Thank God that's not me." Like that's insane.

Carrot Carrot 24 Carrot. Yeah. I don't know that was somebody new from last night's episode and that was I feel like um Robin Thick knew who it was because it's a Mottown singer. I have no idea.

Oh, okay. And then Kala Lily, that's a beautiful costume. I think Kala Lily is Teddy Melikamp. She sang Fight Song talking about like this health journey. And I know Teddy, I know that voice. She's also podcast.

I saw that clip and I saw the the clues and I agree. I think that's a good one.

Scarab was Taraji P. Henson. Um, and then I forget what costume was, but that was um Tiffany Hattish.

Uh, yeah, she was like Leela. Yeah, something like that. Leehooh Who? That was uh Tiffany Hattish. Very exciting.

Yeah, it's a very exciting thing. I know. It's the craziest thing I have and ever will do.

100%. It will go down like in five years, you know how we like look back and there's so many random crazy things we've done. Like remember when Kanye gave us his song to like premiere on the toast like before he was Kanye? Um we've done so many crazy things and I feel like we'll forget about this one, but like we need to add it to the list of we need to start a list of crazy things we've done that we've always that we always forget about.

I'm happy to start a list. Massinger is going to be one of them. Okay. list. And guys, sound off in the comments because you guys remember better than us. Like, what are wild like toast things that we've like accomplished or done that we never talk about? Like the Kanye thing is crazy.

Yeah, Kanye closed on Sunday. That was hilarious, too. That was not And I need people to sound off in the comments cuz I like that's the thing. We don't remember.

We don't remember. Yeah. I think it's our way of like dealing with whatever. Yeah.

Anything else coming to mind? No. I have to think about like things my friends text me about. They're like, "Oh my god." I'm like, "Oh,

yes, that's exactly what your I guess that is a big deal." My high school friends on was like, "Cla, are you on the show?" I'm like, "Yeah, I hadn't told them."

Um, like for the last Oh my god, was Zach when we got nominated for an iHeart Radio podcast award.

That's huge. Oh, I low-key have um a shorty award. Like I forget about that all the time.

Yep. I have been nominated for two people's choice awards, but I lost both of them. One of one time to Jacob Storius. So, like seriously, don't talk to me.

What did that you just say? Shorty Award. like things that are a big deal but we just like forget about.

Yeah. And also I think what happens is like we do something that we know is a big deal but we have to do it in silence. We don't tell anyone that it's happening or that we got this and then by the time it comes out it's like oh yeah we did that.

Like me I was literally on the messinger 6 months ago. Yeah. So that was messing or we knew it was a big deal when you were doing it but we couldn't talk about it and now it's like oh yeah that did happen 6 months ago.

Yeah. I also just want credit for like how good I was like making up that lie. Oh and my apartment flooding. Lol. It was fine. Like it was such a crazy week cuz I moved apartments and then moved to LA for two weeks and it's like what's wrong with Cooji? And I was like well I can't like pretend I'm like picking up and moving to LA if there's not something wrong in my apartment. My apartment's fabulous. There's no problem with it. I can't wait to get back there.

Yeah. Well, that's enough messing for now. We'll see. I'm sorry I lied to you guys. I I won't I don't lie. Like I'm sorry. Like I I try to be as open and honest.

There was no way I share here to not I had to. Yeah. And I also thought it was airing live. So, I was like, "How am I really going to convince people that it's not me if I'm in LA and it's airing live?"

Yeah. But no, it was better that it wasn't. Yeah. More Masser Recap coming tomorrow on Patreon. Submit your questions. Every little detail about Mass Singer, how Ty pulled it off

in the Patreon. Yeah. Next story. Kim Kardashian on Khloe and Wonderland. She finally reveals the truth. So, she says about behind the deleted party photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

We watched a whole episode, I think, with the exception of like the last maybe 10 minutes. It was only 37 minutes. And I feel like they should have released one banger episode, not two mediocre parts. Um because the part that we watched yesterday was so boring.

I think it took us 4 hours to watch it. We kept pausing like it was so we were just waiting really for the Megan Markle thing. They did touch very briefly on Larsa, but like the whole thing with Kim and I guess that's her I think it's her personal philosophy. It's like nothing's a big deal. She just like to make big deals out of things. So Larsa, love Larsa. You know, we just like we're part our kids are so close. Megan Markle. Oh yeah, she's fine. She runs a mom. Everything is just like very

she doesn't want to burn bridges also, which I respect. So don't like make it seem like it's this big ass juicy podcast episode. She said what what the media had said at the time about those pictures of Megan and Harry.

Yeah. So first she said a couple things. She said that whenever they post pictures from an event they always get approval for everyone that they can post that photo of that person which is like seems really like a kind and

lovely timeconsuming thing to do. They also um she Chloe had said like we have ratchet pictures too. We know never to share those. These are just like the nice sort of event photography photos of everyone smiling.

They reached out. They said that they could post them. Then Kim posted it and she said they must have forgotten that it was Remembrance Day and they didn't want to be seen at a party. Chloe was being shady. Yes, she was.

Chloe was being shady and giving us a glimmer of the truth. She was like, "But they were at baby to baby before." And Kim was like, "Yeah, well that's a charity event and this was just like a party, so they didn't want to be like seen at a party on Remembrance Day." But within there, there's a lot there's a lot for us to work with. Kim also said, "So, you know, they asked us to delete it." She actually didn't say that, but she like in

Yeah, she said, she said, "We were told that it was," this is the quote, "We were told that it was totally cool to post and then after it was posted, I think they realized it was Remembrance Day." First bit of shade. They forgot Remembrance Day when they like make it as such a big deal.

And they didn't want to be seen at a party even though it's already up, you know, and then taken down. And then I think they realized like, "Oh, this was so silly." She said that going to the baby to baby gala earlier may have been fine. maybe not partying and dancing on the dance floor or whatever. So, we took them down to respect Remembrance Day, she said to Khloe.

Yeah. So, that's pretty much a confirmation that they were asked to take them down cuz why, no offense would Kim care about Remembrance Day. Um, and then like how stupid it was because the pictures were already out and it became a bigger story that they were out on Remembrance Day when nobody even thought that. Um, yeah, I got the vibe that Chloe doesn't like Megan and they made sure to say that Megan is friends with mom.

Yeah. Not that like she's a family friend. The family she said, you know, Megan and mom have been friends for some years. um to sort of like foisting the friendship onto Chris, which I thought was interesting too.

I felt like Kim was very diplomatic about it. She doesn't even want to burn the bridge with Larsa or Britney Gaston. She's certainly not gonna burn a bridge with the Sussexes and talk trash. Khloe gave us a bit more of a glimmer into like how they thought the whole thing was so stupid and performative cuz you go to baby to baby, but you can't be seen here.

Yeah, Khloe was definitely like hate. Like I don't know what happened behind closed doors, but I know Chloe was like mad. And I also know that like what the way Kim said it was very kind, but like there it was a drama.

Yeah. Anyways, then Kim said, "You've got to laugh at it, the situation sometimes, and just like lighten it up and be if everyone's taking it the wrong way, like lean in." Kim said, "I was like, we should do a full Skims campaign. Take the photo, even just us, like I'll shoot you at mom, you know, post it and then delete it like 30 minutes later and then say, oh, sorry, I didn't have permission to f post those photos for the campaign." She said the drama would have been received differently if they made it light and made it funny. She's completely right.

Yeah. Even though that Skims idea is like a bad idea and Megan would never Well, they should have. That's a little too like silly, but if they did like a a Skims campaign with Megan, it would have like debunked the idea that they were all beefing. Skims campaigns are great for everyone. I'm sure they could have done something really tasteful. You know, Megan has a certain look that like

It doesn't have to be underwear. Like it could be pajamas. It could be sweaters, crew neck sweaters, like something very Megan. Um belts. I don't Yeah.

And I think that would have been great and like sort of smooth the whole thing over, but Kim was also saying in a very polite and diplomatic way like their PR is incredibly stupid.

This is proof of that. And I think it's them like making bad choices. That to me is like the shock. It's like you really thought that deleting a picture that was already up by the most followed woman in the world would somehow smooth over the fact that you went out on

remember. It makes people forget like it's giving my first day on planet Earth.

No, it really is. It's like it's so dumb. It's and it just like everything that the any PR it's always handled so poorly. And I think we just reported what they went through like their 11th um publicist in the last four years. And so it's clearly like them steering that ship. Any cuz any person who's worked in publicity for more than one day would know like deleting a picture makes it a bigger thing. It's already out there. It's on Kim's Instagram. It's not on some like lowly friend's Instagram. Handled so poorly.

Um, you just don't think like people at that level are going to be so amateur. Like it actually

is shocking. It confounds me. It doesn't make sense cuz she's a very smart woman

who's been in this business. It's not her first day. It's like she met Harry in a pub and she was working working as a waitress. She has been in this business for 20 years

and she's been at this level of royal plus now for like eight. I don't understand.

It's shocking. Amateur is the perfect word for it. Very naive. naive at best to the amateurs like

to the point that it doesn't make sense. Naive at best, negligent at worst. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, so thanks. I'm glad that they addressed it.

Yeah, but that was mad boring. That Wesley Snipes story put me to bed. Oh my god. The Wesley Snipe story. I don't really want to get into it too much cuz I don't want it to take up more of my life than it already has when I watched it. But what? Not the even the story like the tell the fact

she was like you have to tell your Wesley Snipes story. You really don't. Let me tell you I I hate that form of conversation so much. Tell

not even as a podcast but like in with friends when someone's like oh my god tell the story unless it just happened when they're like wait tell this story like

don't. And like you've been on TV for 20 years you've been on Instagram. You storytelling is your life and we've never heard the story. There's a reason.

Yeah. It was like the whole conversation about how Kim's like amazing at manifesting. Like girl, miss me with that. Like here's my list of 50 manifestations from an ex-boyfriend. Sense of humor. Like girl, it was just like so low-level conversation.

And the Wesley Snipes. Yeah. Jackie still at the restaurant. Yeah. And the Wesley Snipes story I don't even think made Wesley look good.

What are you doing? Taking out an underage girl to breakfast. Like it was weird.

And he's he was obviously doing nothing nefarious and just wanted to like tell this girl to stay out of the clubs. Like your life is so just about to start. like keep you know

basically Kim goes out in New York with her friend. She's not from New York and she ends up at this like afterparty at an apartment. All of her friends, she gets lost. She's by herself. She has no money. She leaves this random apartment building and she has no money to get home. She just has the address of her friend's house on her palm and she's in the lobby and she didn't know it at the time, but it's Wesley Snipes and she's like, "Sir, like I think he was getting into a cab or taking a car and he was like, "Will you please drop me off at this address?" And instead he like takes her to breakfast and says like, "Girl, you're on a bad path." And then takes her home.

Weird weird story. Like not the intended message, the intended effect was not received.

Are what are people saying about it? They're not like has Wesley responded. Part two like hasn't made as many waves as part one. They should have done one big ass.

Well, I keep seeing headlines Wesley saved my life. That's like the the Oh, and that's the other thing. He didn't save her life because um she just needed to get home and she took him out he took her out of the way to breakfast

and she wasn't on a bad path. It was her first time going to a party. It was daylight. Oh, right. It's not like he did save her from this dark path. She does she didn't drink then she didn't drink after. She was not on this dark path. She just got lost like

Yeah. It was not what Yeah. Um so yeah weird. So yeah. Are you ready for our next story?

Justin Bieber will perform at the Grammys. First time in a while he's performed.

Justin Bieber will perform at the Grammy Awards this weekend. Alert Grammys are this weekend. We were just talking about that yesterday.

Yeah. The Recording Academy confirmed, marking Bieber's first time performing on music's biggest nights since 2022. He is up for four Grammys this year, including album of the year for Swag, which was not pee poo poo after all.

No, it wasn't. And that was his first album since 2021. He's also up for best pop vocal performance, p best pop vocal album, and best R&B performance. Good for him.

So, the headline here is Hilly Bieber's going to the Grammys, and now I feel like I must watch. Taylor's not going, so like it wasn't my year to like tune in, you know, to the very first minute to the last minute. Um like you know if I was in the bed and it was on like I'd probably watch it. Um now I will be tuning in to see um I would like to see Justin perform. It's been a while you know he had the tour and then he had the health issues he turned you know ended it. Um I'd like to see Haley. Who else is going to be there? Like whose year is that?

Two Grammy nominations. Maybe we did. It was a while ago. Maybe you did them without me.

Oh I did. Oh okay. Cuz I'm Can we go through them like a little bit? Like a little preg Grammy show.

Whose like big year is it? Bad Bunny. It's like always his year. Okay. Okay. The Grammy website doesn't work.

Sabrina, I think, is nominated for some stuff, but it's not like her big year either.

Whose year is it? I feel like it's going to come to me like when you pull it. When I say record of the year, Bad Bunny, Sabrina, Doi, Billy Eyish. Oh, the song are DTMF, Bad Bunny, Manchild, Sabrina Anxiety Dochi Wildflower Billy Isish, Abracadaba, Lady Gaga. I didn't know any of this. Luther Kendra Clamar the subway chapel rone appeta roamar's my song of the year I don't know it doesn't sound like it's anyone's year I feel like sometimes it comes in there's somebody with like a like two people with huge nominations like you know I feel like Sabrina's year was last year um like Olivia Rodrigo had a year Lizo had a year like who is it

there's no clear front runner for me because the albums of the year nominees that like I listen to which were Sabrina and Lady Gaga Man's best friend and Mayhem I don't think They need to be out.

What other albums are there? So, Bad Bunny's album, Justin Bieber, Swag, uh, Let God Sort Him Out by Clips Push A Tea and Malice, Kendrick Lamar, GNX, Leon Thomas, Mut, Tyler the Creator, Chroma Picopia.

Yeah, it's feeling like Bad Bunny's ear. Yeah, with the Super Bowl. Okay, I'll I'll watch a little bit. Um,

yeah, I'll watch. What's going on in the country category? Probably a bunch of Luke Holmes Eraser

for sure. Best country solo performance. Tyler Childers. Oh, Shabuzzi. Good news. Chris Stapleton's act top Lenny Wilson. Okay whatever.

I bet Lenny Wilson wins. Yeah. Um, so Hy's going to the Grammys. It's kind of like how um Kylie's going to the Oscars. Just the girly's holding it down.

The girly's taking over. The girly's like um garnering good ratings. The girly's going where no girly has gone before?

Cuz who would want to go to the Oscars? Like honestly, if somebody said, "Claudia, I will give you a front row ticket to the Oscars." Like I would go obviously.

Like you can say no, but you would want to say no. And I just feel like I really would not have a good time.

Like I look so boring the whole time. 3 hours insufferable speeches. No thanks.

Oh no. At least the Golden Globes you get a meal. No. And at least meal. Actually, I guess you do get performances. You get performances at the Oscars, right?

That's true. You get like six of the best song performances. Yeah. So you would get Golden.

We're going up. It's our I should have sung that on the second. I should have sang that against ordinary

the season with Oh, Rita Ora sang it. a queen. Like one thing about me, you will not have to be saying one bad word about Rita Ora ever.

I don't think we ever have. No, I don't think we ever would. I wish she ended up with Rob Kardashian, but other than that, like it's fine.

It's not too late. No, she married she married well. Like she's right. It is too late. Our next story, Barbara Corkran recalls faking her own death on her 70th 70th birthday party. She said her friends found her dead in a coffin.

One thing about Barbara is like she's insane. So, she revealed all the details of the surprise funeral she arranged for her 70th birthday party during a conversation with boardrooms Damen Scott on Tuesday. Um, during their chat, the host asked her uh to tell him about the unconventional party uh that she threw and whether her guest really thought she was dead. She said, "I had the best party of the century. No doubt about it. My friends were going to give me a surprise party and I got wind of it for my good girlfriend. She always spoils things. She just has a habit of doing it Liz."

So when Liz told me they were planning a surprise party, I said, "I'm going to turn the tables and surprise them."

Um, and she was in a coffin. It's like that episode of Curb. Somebody throws himself like a fake funeral just to see what people say and he's like upstairs live streaming at the whole thing. Um, and like he wants to see the speeches. It's very funny cuz like the thing about a funeral is like FOMO. You know, everyone in your whole life that you've ever known is there like saying the nicest things about you eating food and like I'm dead. I don't think so. Um,

do you remember that show from growing up? I think it was called Maybe It's Me.

No. It was like on the WB and like she had like a kooky grandma who like wanted to be alive for her own funeral cuz she wanted to hear what everyone had to say about her. So, she planned her funeral while she was living. It was like a sitcom so that she could like hear the eulogies.

I've never heard of that show. I mean, you were there. It was like a blonde girl.

Maybe it's me. It's such a deep cut. I'm actually ashamed that I remember Hi. Your memor is impeccable.

Here, take a look around. Like, do you you wouldn't remember. Oh, like the font is given.

Maybe the grand the grandma was giving Betty White. Can you see who played the grandma?

Okay. I've never seen this show in my life. What is this? You have But you were younger than

The grandma's not Betty White, but is it Betty White vibes? I believe she's the old lady from my favorite Ben Stiller movie, Duplex.

Okay. Have you ever seen Duplex? I don't think so. Drew. Okay, so it's about Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller. They're like this couple is so in love and they find this amazing duplex like for zero dollars. They're like, "How did we get so lucky?" So they move into this like amazing brownstone duplex in Manhattan. And the reason why it's like so cheap is because the real estate broker is his grandma like lives upstairs and she's like the the neighbor from hell and they basically end up trying to kill her. Like it's insane. It's such a good movie.

Oh, that's so funny. It's like how your crazy neighbor could really drive you to the brink of like a manic episode where they end up I think they kill her.

Oh, it's a murder. It's a murder. Yeah, you would obviously like end up loving the Gran. Like you have to watch the movie. You are the Gran.

This Gran is Ellen Albertini Dao. You would know her if you saw her. Yes. She's also in The Wedding Singer.

Is she from Duplex? Uh I'm looking. She's in Hannah Montana. Who isn't? Not another Not another Not Another movie. Remember those movies? That was such a crazy genre of film. Like

I know why were they doing all that? No one did it quite as good as Not Another Teen Movie.

Agreed. But like that parody genre of regular movies like Scary Movie, right? Yeah. Scary Movie was I think the first. Okay. Our fifth and final story, Margot Robbie and Jacob Aordy

are being so weird. I tried to tell you guys last week. I feel like no one really was listening to me and then this week I saw comments like, "Are you guys going to talk about Margot Robbie and Jacob Lord?" I'm like, I rang the bell on it last. I sounded the alarm. What What do you want from me?

So, they're doing press. The movie, I don't know, is out coming out. And they're just like saying a lot of weird things. And what sucks is that like first of all, did you see her wearing Victoria Beckham?

She looked amazing. Like, there should be like a fun press thing that we're all like eating up. Like, she looks so gorgeous. He's so hot. They're just being weird talking about like the filming experience and how it was like so sexy and delicious. And she sent the movie to all of her friends and they were like humping their couches while watching it. Like, Jacob is so everything. It's really weird. Like, please stop. Oh my gosh.

But obviously I need to see the movie. I want to see the movie too cuz I like both of them as actors and you know it's based on a great book. It seems to have gotten the royal treatment

and like justice for Olivia Jade. Like that's someone's man. Justice for her husband and

father of child. Yeah. But also for Olivia Jade. No. No. Cuz at least like at least at least Margot Robbie and her man like they are secure. You know they have a family together. Like yeah she can act weird but that's who she's coming home to. you know, her and uh Olivia, Olivia and and Jacob are very much on the rocks and like, you know, I'm sure she's not feeling the most secure in her relationship, but now here's Margot Robbie.

But like here's the thing. This is obviously a marketing a way of marketing the movie. Like we're going to bring that same sexual obsessed with each other energy like to the press junket like you know like Cynthia and Ari best friends. I think that's real but like best friends in real life. They're marketing the love story of the movie which is their friendship. Cydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell attempted it with anything but you. Question. Do you How stupid do you guys think we are?

I mean, people do fall for it every time. I just want to say No, I Who's falling for this?

I don't think that they are in a relation or like having affairs, these two though.

No, I don't think they're trying to tell us they're having an affair, but I think they're trying to like titilate us with all the sexiness. And it's like

you guys have partners. Go home. Just promote your movie and go home. You don't have to like put on all this sex. like we don't care that much and we don't believe you. Yeah.

And if if you are telling the truth, well then that's that's disrespectful. Yeah.

No, it's weird regardless. Like the the thing about Margot Robbie saying she likes she hosted a a a friends and family screening for like her friends and they were all like she said like geria heaving at Jacob like really really weird. So either you're putting you're turning it up and putting it on to like titilate audiences because like you think we need that because we don't just want to come see your movie,

right? So your movie is not good is what you're saying like or you're being honest and that was like what everything was happening and you're telling that and then you're weird. So you're either rude or you're weird.

Yeah. Understanding or weird. Yeah. Patronizing or freaky. That's so Hollywood. Yeah. patronizing and freaky

all at once. Except for the set of the mass singer, of course. One of the most amazing places. Absolutely.

Yeah. Well, those are the fastest five stories. Like that's And I feel as though you only needed to know the first one.

You did, but you know, we have a job to do. And I feel like if we ever really start forsaking the fast five, like that's how it all goes to [ __ ] The fast five the wheels on this thing.

It's true. Even on days where it's like there's no fast five. No. Or like how are we talking about anything besides X?

Yeah. Even on days like that, like the wheels must the wheels of justice turn slow.

Yeah. No, the fast five keeps this thing together. It's the glue that holds the show. So, we do what we have to do.

Absolutely. And Barbara Corkran, I'm sorry that happened to you. We And we operate in fives.
