--:-- 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. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the toast, Queen Corgi herself, Claudia Aschere. Yes, hello, hello, my loyal subjects. It is me, Queen Corgi. My reign has ended. Corgi. 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 Corgi, we love you Thank you, 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 where I told everyone I was pregnant Like this big secret I was keeping, so hard to keep 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 Masked Singer. And last night, she actually, she did something shocking. We're going to recap the best episode of TV ever. She unmasked herself on The Masked Singer. 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 there was a commercial, they released 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 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. Cause 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 Masked Singer? And this year the rumors were true. Yeah. She is the Queen Corgi. Last night was your final performance on the Masked Singer. You premiered with Don't Rain on My Parade, which a lot of the toasters are watching. We all knew it was you. So I thought that that would be a good song. Actually the selection process is really interesting There like a couple of factors like legally some songs can get cleared You allowed to ask for certain songs if anybody ever sang it before you most likely not allowed to sometimes they make exceptions I like if it 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 them 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 Lea Michele version in case anyone was wondering um and I thought that would be like a little nod to the toasters watching me 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 co-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 eight o'clock i'm like i'm kind of on tv ruby like 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 wall 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 mass singer withdrawing from the competition like you know for Ruby and like for for that journey so 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 gonna 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 fuck cocked. Like I went to LA and it was like, we stayed longer than 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 trainer. That's a good point. I was being such a liar, like insane. 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 seriously freezing up when people would ask her, like, why is Claudia in LA? She's like, for men. Like 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 But I didn tell her No I didn I didn think that you did Don worry I didn tell so 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 garchi party shirt was gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna be in October so I was like okay I'm gonna 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 four-month-old I'm working full-time and I was about to start maternity leave for you so I was gonna 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 because I used to always say like postpartum depression is afraid of me postpartum anxiety is afraid of me and 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. 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 bunch of, you know, ways to work through it. They were gonna, and I was just like, listen, I feel like for the best thing. And I was also like, I didn't realize how much anxiety, I had never really left Ruby before, right? Like I did my maternity leave. We went to the Hamptons. I have a very amazing, flexible job where I get to like be with my baby most of the day. And I never spent that time much time away from me before and I was like really unhappy. And then like pumping in the trailer, like it was just, 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 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 yeah us and Fox yeah we work with Fox the network I don't know if you guys are familiar um I've not heard of it 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 like my party trick um she was so shook obviously she was also really understanding um no one was more shook than ken jong oh my god watching him 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 aura was like oh my god i love your podcast he hosts with his sister right and i was like because you know sometimes you're like not everyone's gonna know your podcast rita was like i love your podcast now i'm the biggest rita or a 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 like yes my sister but she was also the one who guessed nikki blonsky oh yeah and last night the guesses were even more off. Yeah, like they kept the packages are kind of 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 path. So they were guessing like Whitney Cummings Amy Schumer. Yeah, SNL. SNL last week because it said live from New York. But I record my podcast live from New York. Right. And then this week they focus more on like podcasts. They had like the C and the J on the Oh, did they? I didn't see that. Like in the studio that you were recording in. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 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 because they really want to know about you, your journey, 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 of like therapy sessions to learn more about you. And that's why the packages, like the cuts go so deep, you know? 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've missed you. But then my secret clue last night was a piece of bread. So obviously that way. A piece of toast. Also then last night they focused more on how you just had a baby. on how you just had a baby. And it was actually like a perfect way to sum up your journey. They had Queen Corgi with her. Mini 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. If Queen Corgi has no fans. I'm dead. We need to talk about Queen Corgi herself because 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 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 an 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 fucking 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 it 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 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 gonna 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 Tresemme I was giving a hundred thousand dollars 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 slang so you're wearing like the most insane you start off in like this your costume was really huge because I saw some of the other costumes they weren't like yours was like a mascot yes oh my god justice for every I'm sorry like she was dressed to the tea she had a purse like so fucking 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 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 it 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 gonna withdraw from the competition. I withdrawing from the competition By the way they have the voice it 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 legit. Like they do not mess around there. They take it so seriously. And so I was like on the golf cart being taken to like vocal warmups and then like dress rehearsal. 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 with Rue. It was a lot. It is a lot. It was a lot. 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 sick, by the way, 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 amenable. I'm so specific. You know, I have like five karaoke songs and I wanted to sing all of them. I really wanted to sing Valerie, but somebody had already sung it. And it's kind of like a hallmark performance in the Masked Singer Hall of Fame. Who was it? 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 Koji, give it a chance. And the thing is about these songs that like, that's what I really learned when working with like the vocal performance. 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 because I thought I sounded amazing. You sounded amazing, but also the song and the message. It's such an amazing song. It's chilling. 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 message oriented. Well, it's not lost on me that I'm singing Unstoppable the night that I decided to stop, you know, singing in the competition. Stop the show, but Unstoppable breastfeeder, Unstoppable mama. Unstoppable businesswoman. She's just doing Masked Singer 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 not like I 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 man I don't go anywhere no like it was literally days before it was a real game time decision like I almost pulled out at the 11th hour because I'm like this is so crazy like I'm not gonna take my whole family and breastfeed like we've never we did a six-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'm okay. 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 season. Okay. Taraji P. Henson. Yeah. Okay. Tiffany Haddish. like kind of a big big season for women in comedy were the croissants revealed yet because 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 share 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 because he was talking about how he's not like a professional singer. And Big Papi, who was like the famous, I want to say Yankee. He was just unmasked a couple of weeks ago. I think it was him. 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. I did hear the Chrisleys. And I was like, sorry, I heard the croissants. And I'm like, oh, that's the Chrisleys. They sang Jailhouse Rock. They had just gotten out of jail. The Chrisleys. 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. But I have no information. I have like no intel on my fellow. Your fellow masked singers. I'm dying to know who Pug Casso is because that's who I sang up against. People online say it's Matthew Morrison. And like you guys just don't understand. I was in the same room as this person, but we were wearing our masks. 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 then there was one that I thought was the most compelling. And it was some guy from Hamilton Anthony Ramos Yeah Yeah They think it now Anthony Ramos or Cordova Street Before they thought it was Cordova Street but his package like didn I know Give cord So I also think it Cordova Street and I actually friends with Cordova Street I kind of just want to text him and ask, but like if you 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 Morrison. Just for the lore. Like. Oh yeah. For me. For the lore. So we'll wait to find out when he gets unmasked or 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 TikToks to post, you guys. Like, I was in the trailer. And 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 dead ass serious about it. And I was like, I can't even make TikToks. I didn't ask. I just, like, filmed them, you know? Mm-hmm. 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 Corgi. Queen Corgi. I know that Robin Thicke had no idea who I was. Like I know Rita and Jenny did. Ken, I just feel like is just happy to be there. Ken just loves you and your voice. And Robin, I feel like 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 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 Masked Singer all the time because like famously I was asked 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 singers interested can you send a video of you singing and i was like i absolutely say less this was like five years ago um and then i never heard back and they were like yeah they like went in another direction 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 like it's so unreal no and it was just so much fun for the community like everyone that's by the way Like that's why I did it. Like I knew when there was like rumors starting, 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. But like, I literally did it for the pod. Like I'm a podcaster. People know my voice. Like my voice is my 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 Corby. I know. I was trying to like steal stuff from set. But when I went, they do this like post. to yeah and for me it's my new favorite show it's so good we need the costume we need queen to yeah and for me it's my new favorite show it's so good we need the costume we need queen corgi 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 like i couldn't take anything i understand yeah but if they ever need to free up space in the storage room. We need Queen Corgi on the... We need her. I love her. She's so cute. She's precious. I'm gonna cry, but she was obviously like an odd to Theo. Of course. So when they were asking if there were any animals that 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 Cavalier, 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 viral moments is us dressing up as the royal family. So it was very much a nod to Queen Elizabeth. It was a nod to you, like my Queenie 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 for 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 gonna 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 and I've now 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 stop it's so cute I can't put it in the frames that's what the frames have been waiting for oh and then the craziest part is that my room at jackie's house um obviously i have like an en suite 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 cavalier dressed up as like a royal it's wearing a crown a like literally a cape it's queen corgi 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 the owner of this house It your husband It my husband It King Corgi Your husband is coming We have to film a TikTok with that thing it the craziest thing we will would you get that piece of art wayfair you got just what i need wayfair you got just what i need and that also why you 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'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. Yesterday after all the chili talk, we did want to make a chili and we got together to watch the mass singer, like my unmasking episode. So everybody's getting together. We had to make dinner. So we ended up of course making chili. We vlogged the whole thing, our big night. 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 five 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 i just like completely planned poorly i don't know why i thought i had to make the chili all by myself you i couldn't even open the cans like it was insane 25 minutes but i had like five minutes um yeah i made dinner all by myself it was insane yeah and she followed like i had the recipe written down so that's all she had to go on is kind of like great 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 bake-off. So that vlog is on Patreon. And then tomorrow we're 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. But like it was a very challenging time for me. Every time I talk about it, I start crying. So I'll talk about it on Patreon. But like very challenging time for Koji. 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 I was not okay. Like I was actually not okay. And like shout out to everyone at Fox. Hayley, 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 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 I like I had never met but I know she was Like in charge and she was pregnant I was like thank fucking 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 feeling 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 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 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 corgi's in the stories because queen corgi's making news okay 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 in wonderland together yesterday. We did watch Chloe Wonderland. Sorry, the Tell Me Lies recap. Obviously, we were not watching Tell Me Lies last night. Obviously not. I'll try tonight. But tomorrow will be Traders recap. I am watching Traders tonight. Oh, it's one episode. It's one episode. Okay. We'll stay on track. I think it's more important that we stay on track of our Traders. Traders. Traders. You know who was liking my content last night? Maura? Did you see my close friend's story today? No. Oh, I shared. Colton Underwood was liking my reels about the Masked Singer. Maybe he's on this season. Maybe he's Picasso. That would be good for him. Yeah. I mean, he gets cast all the time. Like. I'm trying to think. We're not like. I'm not pro-culted. If he saw some of our clips. I don't know. I feel like sometimes in an episode, like we're anti and we're pro. Like we argue both sides. 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 Masked 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 likes to spend. No, she's very like luxe and elegant. She spends. She drops coin. I mean, you should see. First of all, I felt like, you know, in the Taylor Swift documentary, she has like that stage built just to rehearse. And it's like in a, I don't know where it is, like an airport hangar. They had one of those where I had to like practice all my choreography. It was so Aristotle. Your core geography? My core geography. 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. They were like, can you move a little bit more? And I was like no like I literally can 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 kick And a lot of Yeah of course I had to do one kick and unstoppable I swear to God, I thought I was going 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.

So our first story, someone who needs no Nutrafol because she's furry as fuck, Masked Singer contestant Queen Corgi shockingly withdraws seconds before elimination reveal. So what's so crazy is what you did was so unprecedented. Yes. Kind of like shook up the show. I wasn't like aware at the time that it was like a huge deal. 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. One or two people have done it historically. that it was like a huge deal. that it was like a huge deal. 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. One or two people have done it historically. I said it on the show and I'll say it here again. Like 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 eight months now. Like I really, 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 yeah, not me 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? I mean the weather, like that's why he loves it here. And that's why we literally haven't gotten home. He's so like, he's so outdoorsy. Oh, that's so cute. 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 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 plus supportive partner cannot cannot thank him enough yeah I'm just so obsessed with the whole thing No, it's so cute. All of the content is so cute. I know. I can't stop watching the Unstoppable clip. But after Don't Rain on My Parade, I watched that a million times. I watched Don't Rain on My Parade 10,000 times. I don't regret choosing that song, I just want to say. But I didn't really think about it. I can't lie. Up until I got there, I really thought I wasn't actually going to be singing in the costume. I thought I would pre-record it and slay the house down boots. But 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 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 because it doesn't feel good to lose yeah but I think but like not them putting me up against like the best singer. Like I feel like Pug Casso wins. Like that was kind of uncool of them Why couldn they put me up against the Chrisleys Is this a piece from Hamilton Yeah like please Or Glee Someone was actually out to get me when they were putting me up against Pug Casso It kind of like my episode of Say Yes to the Dress when they put me up against the chrisley this should be from hamilton yeah like please like or glee someone was actually out to get me when they were putting me up against pug cosso maybe it kind of like my episode of say yes to the dress and 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 will never stop talking about that it is if you just like watch if you watch half the episode it's a good episode if you fast forward through anything it's not claudia not for any reason 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 paid 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 oh they did me so fucking 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 a see that yours was better and anybody and judges were shocked that you didn't win because 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 Lea Michele like only the greats can sing that song sorry like that's so true 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 a lot like there's somebody who's like a motown 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 Chrisleys. I didn't know Big Poppy. I can't lie. I had not seen Big Poppy. I knew Taraji P. Henson. I don't see Big Poppy here. We have David Ortiz. Okay, that's Big Poppy. Are you okay? I'm like, 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's box. I feel like it's fair. Oh, 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. It's gorgeous. I know. Next, pangolin. I don't know. Owl. I don't know. High voltage. I don't know. Galaxy girl I think it Ashley Simpson I think it Bridget Mendler Oh that a good guess because like Galaxy And everything was like about space and she like left And then 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 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 yeah so on the doors of everyone's trailers they have it won't say like claudia austrey 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 to 24 carrot yeah i don't know that 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 motown singer i have no idea oh okay and then Calla Lily. That's a beautiful costume. Oh, I think Calla Lily is Teddy Mellencamp. She sang Fight Song, talking about like this health journey. And I know Teddy. I know that voice. She's also a podcaster. I saw that clip and I saw the clues. And I agree. I think that's a good one. Scarab was Taraji P. Henson. And then I forget what costume was, but that was Tiffany Haddish. Yeah. She was like Lee Lau. Yeah. Something like that. Lee who who. That was Tiffany Haddish. Very exciting. Yeah. It's a very exciting thing. I know it's the craziest thing I have and ever will do. A hundred percent. 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. 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. Masked Singer 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 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 because we don't remember them. Because we generally 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 it. I guess that is a big deal. My high school friend's honor was like, are you on the show i like yeah i hadn told them um like for the last oh my god was zach when we got nominated for an i heart radio podcast award that huge oh i low low have a Shorty Award Like I forget about that all the time Yeah I have been nominated for two People Choice Awards but I lost both of them One time to Jacob Sartorius. So, like, seriously, don't talk to me. What did 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 looking at the mass singer six months ago. Yeah. So that was mass singer. 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 six 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 because I moved apartments and then moved to LA for two weeks. And it's like, what's wrong with Koji? 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 Masked Singer for now I'm sorry I lied to you guys I won't I don't lie Like I'm sorry Like I try to be as open And honest There was no way With what 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 gonna 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 Masked Singer recap Coming tomorrow on Patreon Submit your questions Every little detail About Masked Singer How Turdy pulled it off In the Patreon Yeah Next story Kim Kardashian on Chloe in 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. Because the part that we watched yesterday was so boring. I think it took us four hours to watch it. We kept pausing. Like it was so, we were just waiting really for the Meghan 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 doesn't like to make big deals out of things. So Larissa, I love Larissa. You know, we just like we're part. Our kids are so close. Meghan Markle. Oh, yeah, she's fine. She's from the mom. Everything is just like very casual. 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 the media had said at the time about those pictures of Meghan and Harry. Yeah. So first she said a couple of 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 really like a kind and time consuming things to do. They also, Chloe had said, 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. lovely time consuming things to do. They also she Chloe had said like we have ratchet pictures too. lovely time consuming things to do. They also 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 a 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 yes there's a lot for us to work with him 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 chloe yes so that's pretty much a confirmation that they were asked to take them down because why no offense would kim care about remembrance day um and then like how stupid it was because the pictures were already out and 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 to sort of like voicing the friendship onto Chris, which I thought was interesting. I felt like Kim was very diplomatic about it. She doesn't even want to burn the bridge with Larsa or Brittany Gassman. She's certainly not going to burn a bridge with the Sussexes and talk trash. Chloe gave us a bit more of a glimmer into like how they thought the whole thing was so stupid and performative because you go to baby to baby, but you can't be seen here. Yeah, Khloe was definitely like, I don't know what happened behind closed doors, but I know Khloe was like mad. And I also know that like, the way Kim said it was very kind, but like, it was a drama. Yeah. Anyways, and Kim said, you've got to laugh at 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 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 completely right Yeah Even though that skims idea is like a bad idea and Meghan would never Well they should have That a little too like silly But if they did like a Skims campaign with Meghan 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, Meghan 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 Meghan. Belts, I don't know. 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 Remembrance Day? No, 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. And it just like everything that the NAPR, it's always handled so poorly. And I feel like we just reported what they went through, like their 11th publicist in the last four years. And so it's clearly like them steering that ship. Because 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 amateur it actually is shocking it confounds me it doesn't make sense because 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 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 amateur yeah 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 the one thing that Wesley Snipes story put me to bed oh man the Wesley Snipes story I don't really want to get into it too much because I don't want it to take up more of my life than And it already has. When I watched it. But what? Not that even the story, like the fact that. She was like, you have to tell your Wesley Snipes story. You really don't. Let me tell you, I hate that form of conversation so much. Tell that story. Not even as a podcast but like in with friends when someone like oh my God tell the story unless it just happened when they like we tell this story like no and like you 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 story. Yeah, Jackie's still at the restaurant. 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 was obviously doing nothing nefarious. No. He just wanted to, like, tell this girl to stay out of the clubs. Like, your life is just about to start. Basically, Kim goes out in New York with her friends. She's not from New York. And she ends up at this, like, after party 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 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 okay they should have done one big ass well i keep seeing head headlines wesley said i've saved my life that's like 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 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. So, yeah. 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 Night since 2022. He is up for four Grammys this year, including Album of the Year for Swag, which was not Peepy 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, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best R&B Performance. Good for him. So the headline here is Hailey Bieber's going to the Grammys. And now I feel like I must watch Taylor not going so it wasn my year to tune in to the you know to the very first minute to the last minute Like you know if I was in the bed and it was on like I probably watch it Now I will be tuning in to see. 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. I'd like to see Hailey. Who else is going to be there? Like whose year is it? Did we do Grammy nominations? We did. It was a while ago. Maybe you did them without me. Oh, I did. Oh, OK. Because can we go through them a little bit? like a little pre-Grammy show. Whose like big year is it? Bad Bunny. It's like always his year. 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, Doce, Billie Eilish. Oh, the songs are DTMF, Bad Bunny, Man Child, Sabrina, Anxiety, Doce, Wildflower, Billie Eilish, Abracadabra, Lady Gaga. I didn't know any of this. Luther, Kendrick Lamar, The Subway, Chapel Roan, Apatow, Rosé, Bruno Mars. I don't know. It doesn't sound like it's anyone's year. I feel like sometimes it comes in and there's somebody with like two people with huge nominations. Like, you know, I feel like Sabrina's year was last year. Like Olivia Rodrigo had a year. Lizzo 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 listened 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's Swag, Let God Sort Him Out by Clipse, Pusha T and Malice, Kendrick Lamar, GNX, Leon Thomas, Mutt, Tyler, the Creator, Chroma, Pocopia. Yeah, it's feeling like Bad Bunny's year. Yeah. With the Super Bowl. Okay, I'll watch a little bit. Yeah, watch. What's going on in the country category? Probably a bunch of Luke Holmes erasure. For sure. Best country solo performance, Tyler Childers. Oh, Shaboozy, good news. Chris Stapleton's act of Lainey Wilson. Okay. Whatever. I bet Lainey Wilson wins. Yeah. So Hailey's going to the Grammys. It's kind of like how Kylie's going to the Oscars. Just the girlie's holding it down. The girlie's taking over. The girlie's like garnering good ratings. The girlie's going where no girlie has gone before. Because 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. Because 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 it took so boring the whole time three hours insufferable speeches no thanks oh no at least the golden globes you get a meal no and it like i really would not have a good time like i feel so boring the whole time three hours like i really would not have a good time like i feel so boring the whole time three 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 album i should have sang that on the last thing i should have said that against ordinary the season with Golden. Oh, Rita Ora saying it, my 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 well. Like she's fine. It is too late. Our next story, Barbara Corcoran recalls faking her own death on her 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 Damien Scott on Tuesday. During their chat, the host asked her to tell him about the unconventional party that she threw and whether her guests 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 from 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. 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 the whole thing. And like he wants to see the speeches. It's very funny because 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. 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. Because 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. Why? Your memory is impeccable. Here, take a look around. Like do you You wouldn remember Oh like the font is giving Maybe the grandma was giving Betty White Can you see who played the grandma Okay I never seen this show in my life What is this? You have, but you were younger. 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. Okay, so it's about Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller. They're like this couple 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 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 a movie you are the gran this gran is ellen albertini dow 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 no 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 Elordi 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 Elordi I'm like I rang the bell on it last I sounded the alarm 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 this 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 God. Obviously I need to see the movie. I want to see the movie too. because 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 someone man Justice for her husband and father of the child yeah but also for Olivia Jade no no because at least like at least Olivia 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 gonna 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 Sidney 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 know who's falling for this I don't think that they are in a relationship or like having affairs these two though I don't think they're trying to tell us they're having an affair but i think they're trying to like titillate us with all the sexiness and it's like you guys have partners go home yeah just promote your movie and go home a thousand 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 disrespectful yeah no it's weird regardless like the the thing about margot robbie saying she like she hosted a a friends and family screening for like her friends and they were all like she said like dry heaving at Jacob like really really weird so either you're putting you're turning it up and putting it on to like titillate audiences because like you think we need that because we don't just want to come see your movie right so your movie's not good is what you're saying like or you're being honest and that was like what everything that's happening and you're telling us that and then you're weird so you're either rude or you're weird yeah condescending 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 family workplaces absolutely yeah well those are the fast 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 shit the fast five will never 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.
