Summary

Claudia Asheray, host of The Toast podcast, revealed her appearance on The Masked Singer as Queen Corgi, discussing her experience performing on the show while managing postpartum anxiety, exclusive breastfeeding, and a four-month-old baby. The episode covered her decision to withdraw from the competition, the intense secrecy of the production, and reactions from judges including Ken Jeong and Rita Ora.

Insights
  • High-profile talent shows employ extreme security measures (full costume coverage, non-disclosure agreements, golf cart transport) to protect contestant identities, demonstrating the value of surprise reveals in entertainment marketing
  • Postpartum mental health challenges can coincide with major career opportunities, requiring supportive partners and employers to enable women to pursue dreams while managing family responsibilities
  • Podcast hosts with recognizable voices face unique challenges in disguise-based competitions, as audience members can identify them through vocal recognition despite production efforts to obscure identity
  • Strategic song selection in competition performances matters less than vocal execution; choosing commercially safe songs over authentic choices may have better competitive outcomes
  • Celebrity PR missteps (like the Meghan Markle photo deletion) often amplify negative stories rather than contain them, suggesting poor strategic communication from high-profile teams

Full Transcript
Good morning, girlies, it's the tallos. It's Jackson Claude and where your hoes. It's your favorite show that fast-spot things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's the toast. It sound amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the toast. Queen Corgi herself, Claudia Asheray. Hello, hello, my loyal subjects. It is me, Queen Corgi. My rain has ended. Corgi, we love you. Let me put my crown on, hold on. That's better. Queen's fix each other, 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 exciting 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 did something shocking. We're going to recap the best episode of TV ever. She unmasked herself on the mass 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 it. 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 because 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, was 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 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's like a couple of factors, like legally, some songs can't 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. I'm like, if it's a theme or something. 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 would be the perfect way to start. You know, I thought people wouldn't have... Before I even premiered my first episode of People New It Was May. But I thought that if I gave them a little clue with the song, the song is so mean. 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. And it's not going to be like a little nod to the toasters watching. Me, I guess, 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 and 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 moronny nose. We put him down. He started crying. He started co-sleeping with me at like eight o'clock. I'm like, kind of on TV. I'm being like, so I was like missing the first 10 minutes. 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 year. And also on Patreon. I did end up leaving the massing room with drawing from the competition. Like, you know, for Ruby and like, 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 a beautiful ending. Yeah, it really was. Full circle. So yeah, 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 facocked. Like, I went to LA and it was like, we stayed longer. Then we stayed shorter and it was all for men. Like I would ever do something like that for them. 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. And like, you have to be an in general. I'm like, I don't support lying, but it was for the greater good. They are iron clad air tight 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. 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 said, but I didn't tell her. No, I didn't think that you did. Don't worry. I didn't 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 are 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. They're, they're pants. They're sweatshirt, a face mask, socks covering everything they didn't want to piece of jewelry. I guess there's like a lot of photos that get leaked. And I was like literally wearing my toast merch. So obviously, like the gargie part you shared was going to be a red flag. They take it so seriously. You've designed like a lot of documents. Like you are not allowed to tell anyone. And like it was, it was the craziest experience of my life. And I did it. So I found out I was going to be on. They call me over the summer, right? We were out to dinner. So at that point, I was two months plus part of them. And I knew it was going to be an October. So I was like, okay, I'm going to be four months plus part of them. And like, I'll be fine. Like four months. I was already feeling like pretty good, you know. Yeah. 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 going to be doing like a little bit more work than usual. I don't know if it was like all of that that kind of set me into a spiral. Or 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. 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. 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 they'd signed on to do the show. 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 in Fox was so nice, so understanding they gave me like a bunch of, you know, ways to do this. And I was like, I feel like for the best thing. And I was also like, I didn't realize how much anxiety. I 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 maybe most of the day. And I never spent that much time away from him 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 wouldn't 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 was like, I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I was like, 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 toes, I was obviously like coordinated with Austin Fox and they were like wanting to like leave little, you start. Yeah, us and Fox. Yeah, we work with Fox. The network, I don't know if you guys are really here. I'm not tired 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. It's just like my party trick. She was so shook. Obviously she was also really understanding. No one was more shook than Ken Jong. Oh my god, watching the last night. He loves you. That's my king right there. He loves you. Like they're obviously read a love to you too. So obviously they film a lot 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. I love you. I love you. I love you. Oh my god. I love your podcast. You know, it's with the sister, right? And I was like, because sometimes you're not everyone's going to know your podcast. Yeah. Rita was like, I love your podcast. No, I'm the biggest reader or a fan now. She was so nice. She would love the podcast. She was like, your sister. I think she even said like red hair. It's like, yes, my sister. She was also the one who guessed Nicki Minaj's gay. 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 pass. So they were guessing like Whitney Cummings and you Schumer. Yeah, last and now. Last and now, last week, because it said live from New York. But I record my podcast live from New York. Right. And then this week, they focused more on like podcasts. They had like the C and the J on the. Oh, to that and see that. Like in the studio that you were recording. Oh yeah, yeah. Like this DJ, 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 on your journey to startup, 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. 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 have missed you. But then my secret cool last night was a piece of bread. Yeah. So obviously a piece of toast. Yeah. Also, then last night they focused more on how you just had a baby. And it was actually the perfect way to send it to me. And did they had Queen Corgi with her. Mid-Corp. 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 saying like every time I'm the biggest stand on Queen Corgi. Like I'm obsessed with the past. Queen Corgi has no fans. I'm dead. We need to talk about Queen Corgi herself because she's so iconic. And let me tell you guys, you are dead ass in that costume. I thought for sure when I signed up I was like great. Like I obviously go to a recording studio and like somebody else is in the costume and like whatever. No. Like I'm singing. Like I'm that microphone is on. I was like I just thought there was no way. 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. It's a 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 a movie. 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. Did you give you a little bit of opportunity to like touch up before you might be unmasking? So I shout out to Haley. I feel like everyone's talking about my glam. Haley Hough, that's my girl in LA. So I knew I was going to look sick. I feel like I actually looked amazing. And a lot of people are also talking about my hair. And I believe I did my own hair. I'm trying to remember. Yeah, I was giving Tres May. I was giving $100,000. I feel like I need like a hair commercial after that. I agree. Yeah, like Tres May come find me. I agree with that. No, the makeup was slang. So you're wearing like the most insane. You start off in like this full. Your costume was really huge because I saw some of the other costumes they weren't at. Like yours was like a mask guy. Yes, oh my god, just for every minute. But I'm sorry, like she was dressed to the tee. She had a purse. She's so fucking cute. And if you really look up close, there are a lot of clues about me in the 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 warmups. 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 didn't know I was going to withdraw from the competition. 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 legit. Yeah. They do not mess around there. They take it so seriously. And so I was like on the golf cart being taken. It's like vocal warmups and then like dress rehearsal. And then 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 the room. It was a lot. It is a lot. It was a lot. I am 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 say 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 a meanable. I'm so specific. You know, I have like five karaoke songs that 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 hallmarked performance in the mass singer Hall of Fame. Who was it? They were like don't mess with it. I'm like, okay, I'm not doing it. I'm giving you a big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big 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. Well, it's not lost on me that I'm singing unstoppable. The night that I decided to stop singing in the company show, but it was more than that. It was more than that. Stopable mother, unstoppable business woman. She's just doing messing 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, 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. I mean, but I was like, you know what? I'm doing it like, yo, yo, yo, true, yo, yo. And once I'd gotten like two performances under my mouth, I was like, you know what? I'm okay. I'm 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, Terajie P. Henson. Yeah. Okay, Tiffany Haddish. Like kind of a big, big season for women in comedy. We're the croissants revealed yet. Cause I feel like I saw clues as to who they were and I think that today 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 cause he was talking about how he's not like a professional singer. And big poppy who was like the famous, I wanna 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 gonna say who I think it is, but other people online do think that it's her too. I did hear the crisslies. And I was like, sorry, I heard the croissants. And I'm like, oh, that's the crisslies. They saying Jail House Rock. They had just gotten out of jail. The crisslies. 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 Pugkaso is because that's who I sang up against. People online say it's Matthew Morrison and Nick U.S. 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's now Anthony Ramos or Cordova Shriki. Before they thought it was Cordova Shriki, but his package like didn't... I know, give cord. So I also think it's Cordova Shriki and I'm actually friends with Cordova Shriki. I kind of just want to text him and ask. But like if you know where Sam, we're in the same room, we're like battling at each other and we don't know who it is. And it's someone I know. I really wanted to be Matthew Morrison. Just for the lore. Like... Oh yeah, 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. Oh, and I have so many tech talks to you guys. Like I was in the trailer. And I don't know if I feel like that 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 film them, you know? I'll just wait for somebody to be the element. 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 Thick had no idea who I was. Like I know Rita and Jenny did. Uh huh. Ken, I just feel like it's just a bit of be there. Ken just loves you. Yeah. 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 has no idea who I was. And he was just like happy like for me. You know, like he was just like, oh, girl. Do you hear that? Do you know that? Do you hear baby? And I feel like we talk about the mass singer all the time because like a famous league, I was asked to audition like a couple of years ago when 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 last. This was like five years ago. And then I never heard back and they were like, yeah, they like went in another direction. I'm like, okay, that's fine. And then of course it comes like just an inconvenient time for me. And I could not pass up the opportunity. And I'm really glad that I did. 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. Oh, that's by the way, 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 it happened in a bigger way. I didn't know people were gonna figure it out so quickly. But like I literally did it for the pot. Like I'm a podcaster. People know my voice. Like my voice is my trade. Trade. So I had a feeling people were gonna figure it out and it was gonna 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 horse. I know I was trying to like steal stuff from Seth, when I went and 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, they can just keep. Queen Corgi on the, we need her. I love her. She's so cute. She's precious. I'm like, I'm gonna cry, but she was obviously like an odd to an odd and 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 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 like 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, Tosie. Really, I feel like handled my story so beautifully. I treated your story with care and love. They really, and it's crazy that they do that for everyone. I know. It's so great. 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 knew what to expect from most of it. But I didn't see the packages. They had me records and like voiceover steps. 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 some insane, insane, so cute, so cute. I keep looking at the picture. I've seen better ones. Like I have a picture of my phone. Yeah. I want a better one. I'll ask them for like the HD. We have to frame that too. So I was so cute again. I didn't have 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. Obviously, I have like an ensuite 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 King Charles Cavalier. OK, it's a picture of a King Charles Cavalier dressed up as like a royal. It's wearing a crown, a little epee. OK, 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 a film that I was like, you're having flashbacks. Who are you? Like I'm the one who has to have a house. It's my husband. It's King Corgi. Your husband is coming. We have to film and take talk with that thing. It's a crazy thing. We will. Would you get that piece of art? Way fair. You've got just what I need. Way fair. You got just what I need. And we have very specific things. That's also why you've been singing so much. Of course. And I was trying to leave hints for everyone. 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 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. OK, 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 messing or my unmasking episode. So everybody's getting together. We had to make dinner. So we ended up, of course, making chili. We've logged the whole thing our big night. It's actually a hysterical vlog. Something crazy happens in the vlog. We're making chili. It's Jackie's recipe. Jackie's house. She won't even let me do anything besides open cans. And five minutes after we start cooking, Jackie realizes that she has a meeting. So she leaves me. We've already started. The onions are. I just completely plan poorly. I don't know why I thought I had to make the chili all by myself. I couldn't even open the cans. I thought I had 25 minutes, but I had like five minutes. Yeah, I made dinner all by myself. It was insane. Yeah. And she followed. Like, I hadn't the recipe written down. So it's all she had to go on. It's 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 exactly how long you cook for, exactly how much they're like mixed the flour and the sugar. And they're like, OK, but they're professional bakers. It was great chili bake off. So that vlog is on Patreon. And then tomorrow we were 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 BTS things. Kind of some of the challenges I went through. I really don't want to get into it so deep. It was a very challenging time for me. I have a time to talk about it. I started crying. So I'll talk about it on Patreon. But very challenging time for Koji. I thought I was like, I don't know why I thought I was like immune to any postpartum blues or anything or anxiety. I don't even know what to call it. But I was not OK. Like I was actually not OK. And shout out to everyone at Fox, Haley, Zina, Madison, Logan, the girls, helping me out. Like everyone ushered me through. I think they could see I was not OK. 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 the Fox exact who I had never met, but I know she was in charge. And she was pregnant. I was like, thank God. And she was a swirlie. She was a toaster, Haley. So I was like, I spoke to her this morning. I was like, I was feeling, could I- It's always in relief when you meet a swirlie. It's so true. When you're in swirlie hands. Yeah. Pragnin's swirlie hands. It's not in the softest. 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 I'm having this huge moment. It always happens on the toast, where like, I feel like, what's the phrase? The more things change and more, they stay the same. I feel like so many times throughout history, we've had insane, huge highs lows happen on the toast, but we self-like shop and do the episode. And that's today. It's like, what do you mean we're talking about things that aren't queen and corgi related? Well, you know what? Queen corgi's in the stories because queen corgi's 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 watch Chloe and Wonderland together yesterday. We see it watch Chloe and Wonderland. Sorry, the tummy-lives recap. Obviously, we were not watching tummy-lives last night. I'm trying to night, but tomorrow we'll be traders recap. I am watching traders. Tonight, oh, it's one episode. It's one episode. OK. We'll stay on track. I think it's more important that we stay on track of our traders. Tray is. Tray is. You know who's liking my content last night? Moira? Did you see my close friend's story today? No. I shared Colton Underwood was liking my reels like about the mass singer. Maybe he's on the season. Maybe he's a cassso. That would be good for him. Yeah. I mean, he gets casted all the time. I'm like, I'm trying to think. We're not. I'm not pro-culture. I saw some of our clips. I don't know. I feel like sometimes in an episode, we're anti-amber pro. Like, we argue both sides. No, I feel like last week I went really hard, being like, I'm not about this man in 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 likes to spend. I know she's very, like, lux 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 her rehearsal. And it's like, I don't know where it is, like an airport hanger. They had one of those where I tell you to practice on my choreography. It was so eras-door. Air-or-geography. My choreography, yeah, which was almost impossible to do. Discourge, like, to pop and lock and jam and break. As much as she can, like, drink my first rehearsals, and I have all the videos, I wonder if I'll have to pose them. They were like, can you move a little bit more? And I was like, no. Like, I'm literally, I can't. So, like, a lot of my moves were just like walking. And I can move my arms. I could not move my leg. So it was a lot of like, but the leg, I did do one kick. And I'll have a. Yeah, of course. I did do one kick and unstoppable. I swear to God, I thought it was gonna last, but I like it was insane. That is hysterical. Well, let's get into the stories so we can talk about you some more. I love that. I love when the, you know, the pre-Fast Five banner is a vehicle just to talk more about ourselves.

So our first story, someone who needs no NutriFall cause she's furry as fuck, mass singer, I'm like me, right? Queen Corgi, shockingly withdraw seconds before elimination reveals. So what's so crazy is what you did is so unprecedented. I 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. 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 that grew up so fast. Like I felt like he was so old then. Like four months, I was like, yeah, he's 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, like setting precedent. Yeah, not you setting precedent. Like we're be out in the streets of LA. He loved it by the way. Like he was fine. I was not. You think he's in LA, California boy? I mean, the weather, like he, 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 the shout out to Ben for just like being so supportive. I had to like before bed last night. It was kind of like we close to 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. It was so cute. I know. I can't step watching that unstoppable clip. But after you don't reign on my parade, I watched that a million times. I watched don't reign 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. 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 I would prerecord 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 people with good taste know that song. But I'm singing on like a big network show. And the guy I was singing against sing 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'd 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 felt good. Because 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 Pugkasa wins. Like that was kind of uncool of them. Why couldn't they put me up against the Chris Lee? It should be Sir Hamilton. Yeah, like please like or Clee. Someone was actually out to get me when they were putting me up against Pugkasa. Maybe it's 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 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 watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing. It would be so fucking dirty on the show. Messing or whatever. Messing or whatever. But I feel like true people who appreciate art, you know? And theater and theatrics and music, yeah, of course. It's like, see that yours was better. 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 as song in his costume. And I'm singing this kind of power ballad, like one of the toughest, but only the true Barbara Lee and Michelle, like only the greats can sing like, I'm sorry. Like that's so true. That's too 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, I'm there target demo. Sorry. And then there's 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 Chris Lee's. I didn't know big poppy. I can't lie. I knew I can think poppy. I knew Terragi P. Henson. I don't see big poppy here. We have David or T. Okay, that's big poppy. Are you okay? I like to make that up. No, I'm bringing you up. I'm going to be a little bit more. I'm going to be a little bit more. I'm going to be a little bit more. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. is Heidi Pratt. Okay, yeah, that's what everyone's saying. Pugkosso. I'm sticking with Court Overstreet. I just wanna say this Pugkosso costume is gorgeous. Gorgeous. I know. Next, Pangolin. I don't know. Owl. I don't know. Hi, Voltage. I don't know. Galaxy Girl. I think it's Ashley Simpson. I think it's Bridget Menler. Oh, that's a good guess because like Galaxy. And everything was like about space and she like went left. And then she was told after she had to go to the top. An astronaut. Not actress. Wow. Wow. Wow. black from Brunette to like leave her family behind that so Ashley Simpson. Maybe Bridget Manler did that in her personal. She didn't. Crane. No clue. Eggplant. No clue. That's a tough costume. Yeah. Yes, he got. So on the doors of everyone's trailer, they won't say like Claudia Ostrace has 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. That was somebody new from last night's episode. And that was I feel like Robin Thick knew who it was because it's a Motown singer. I have no idea. Oh, okay. And then Cala Lilly, that's a beautiful costume. I think Cala Lilly is Teddy Malacamp. She's saying fights on talking about like this health journey. And I know tell I know that voice. She's the right. I saw that clip and I found the clues and I agree. I think that's a good one. Scarab was to Roger P. Henson. And then I forget what costume was, but that was Tiffany Haddish. Yes, she was like Lee Lau. Yes, something like that. Lee Hu Hu. That was Tiffany Haddish. Very exciting. Yeah, it's kind of 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 Memorand Cony gave us his song to like premiere on the toes like before he was Cony. 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. 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. Massing her 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 Cony. I think it's crazy. Yeah, Cony closed on Sunday. That was hilarious too. That was not. And any people to sound off in the comments because that's because we don't remember. 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, that's exactly your best. I guess that is a big deal. My high school friends Anna was like, Clutter, are you on the show? I'm like, yeah, I had to told them. Um, like for the last, oh my god, was Zach when we got nominated for an I heart radio podcast award. That's huge. Oh, I low key have a shorty award. Like I've read about that all the time. Yeah. I have been nominated for two people's choice awards, but I lost both of them one of the one times in Jacob, Sartorias. So like seriously, don't talk to me. What did that you just say? Shorty award. Shorty award. Like things that are a big deal, what we just like forget about. Yeah. And also I think what happens is like we do something that mean it was 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 would sort of mess in or six months ago. Yeah. So that was messing or what we knew was a big deal when you were doing it, but we couldn't talk about it. Oh, yeah, that did happen six months ago. Yeah. I also just want to credit for like how good I was like making up that lie. 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 a movie 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 or for now. I'll stay there. I'm sorry. I lied to you guys. I don't lie. Like I'm sorry. Like I try to be as open and honest. But I share here. To not. I had to. Yeah. 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 than it wasn't. Yeah. More messing or recap coming tomorrow on Patreon. Submit your questions. Every little detail about messing or 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 bang or episode not to mediocre parts because the part that we watched yesterday was so boring. I think it took us four hours to watch. We kept pausing. Like it was so we were just waiting really for the Meghan Markle thing. They did touch very briefly on Lars. But like the whole thing with Kim and I get that that's her. I think it's her personal philosophy. It's like nothing's a big deal. It's just like to make big deals out of things. So Lars, I love Lars. So you know, we just like we're part our kids are so close. And Markle, oh yeah, she's fine. She's from the mom. Everything is just like very. She doesn't have a bridge is 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 Meghan 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, it's really like a kind and lovely time consuming things to do. They also she Chloe, it's like we have ratchet pictures too. We know never to share those. These are just like the nice sort of event photography photos. I've never smiling. They reach 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. Kim also said, you know, they asked us to delete it. She actually didn't say that, but she like in. Yes, 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 a 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. 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. 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 forcing the friendship onto Chris, which is interesting. I felt like Kim was very diplomatic about it. She doesn't even want to burn the bridge with Larser, Brittany Gassi. 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. Chloe 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 was a drama. 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 skim's 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's completely right. Yeah, even though that skim's 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 skim's campaign with Megan, it would have like debunked the idea that they were all beefing. Skim's campaign's 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 a big pajamas. It could be sweaters, crew neck sweaters, like something very Megan belt. 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 so bad. So 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. No, I make people forget like it's giving my first damn 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 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. And 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 on on some like lowly friends Instagram handled so poorly. You just don't think like people at that level are going to be so amateur. Like, yeah, 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 on her first date. It's like she met Harry and a pub and she was working as a waitress. She has been in this business for 20 years. And she's been at this level of royal business for like eight. I don't understand. It's shocking. Amateurs the perfect word for it. Very naive. Not even best. Not even best. So the amateurs. Yeah. To the point that it doesn't make sense. And I even best negligent at worst. Yeah. I don't know. Anyways, so thanks. I'm glad that they addressed it. Yeah, but that was the one thing. That was a snipe story. Put me to bed. Oh my god. The Wesley snipe 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. And then it already has when I watch it. But what? Not even the story. Like the tell it. The fact that she was like, you have to tell your Wesley snipe story. You really don't. Let me tell you. I hate that form of conversation so much. Tell me the story. Not even as a podcast, but like in with friends when someone's like, oh my god, tell the story of unless it just happened when they're like, we tell this story like, no. 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. It was just like so low level conversation. And the Wesley snipes. Yeah, Jackie's still the restaurant. And the Wesley snipes. Sorry, 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. Just like tell this girl to stay out of the clubs. Like your life is so just about to start. Like he, you know, Kim goes out in New York with her friend. 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. 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 at the time. But it's Wesley's snipes. And she looks 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 headlines Wesley's time to save my life. That's like the. Oh, and that's the other thing. He didn't save her life because 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. Right. It's not like he did save her from this dark path. 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 it. Yeah. Um, so yeah. Weird. So yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. 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 PPP PPP PPP after all. No, it wasn't. He's his first album since 2021. He's also up for Best Pop Vocal Performance Pest Pop Vocal Album and Best R&B Performance. Go for him. So the headline here is, Haley 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 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 me out and did it. Um, I'd like to see Haley. Who else is going to be there? Like, who's your is it? Grammy nominations. Maybe we did. It was a while ago. Maybe you did them without me. Oh, I did. Oh, okay, because I'm, can we go through them a little bit? Like a little pre-grammy show. Who's 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. Amy, who's here is it? I feel like it's going to come to me like when you pull it up. When I say record of the year, bad bunny, Sabrina Docky, Billy Eilish. Oh, the song is our DTMF bad bunny, man child, Sabrina, anxiety, Docky, wildflower, Billy Eilish, Abercudaba, Lady Gaga. I didn't know any of this. Luther Kendrick Lamar, the subway, Chapel Rhone, Apto, Rose Brunemars. Um, I don't know. Doesn't sound like it's anyone's year. I feel like sometimes it comes in. There's somebody with like a lot of the two people with huge nominations. Like, you know, I feel like Sabrina's year. Last year, like Olivia Rodrigo had a year, Lizzo had a year, Billy Eilish. Like, who is it? There's no clear front runner for me. Is the albums of the year nominees that like I listened to, which were Sabrina and Lady Gaga, man's better friend than 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, pushity and malice, Kendrick Lamar, GNX, Leon Thomas, Mutt, Tyler the creator, Chroma Pocopia. Yeah, it's feeling like bad bunny's year. Yeah. With a super role. Okay. I'll, I'll watch a little bit. Um, yeah, watch. What's going on in the country category? Probably a bunch of Luke Holmes or Razure, for sure. Bet's country solo performance, Tyler Childers, Oh, Shibuzy, Good news. Chris Stapleton's Act of Lini Wilson. Okay. Whatever. I bet Lini Wilson wants. Yeah. Um, so Haley's going to the Grammys. It's kind of like how um, Kyle is going to the Oscars. Just the girl is holding it down. The girl is taking over. The girl is like, um, garnering good writings. The girl is going where no girl he has gone before. Cause 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. And I just feel like I really would not have a good time. Mm-hmm. Like I've so boring the whole time, three hours in sufferable 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. I can show you performances at the Oscars, right? That's true. You get like six of the best song performances. Yeah. So you would get golden. Where go with it? It's a little bit more. She was saying that on the other side. I should have sang that again. Old Ben is season with Rita Ores saying it. My queen. One thing about me, you will not have to be saying one bad word about Rita or 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, it's fine. It's not too late. No, she married. She married well. 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 the coffin. One thing about Barbara is 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 them about the unconventional party 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. It's funny. 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. He's like upstairs live streaming at the whole thing. I mean, like he wants to see the speeches. It's very funny because like the thing I had a funeral is like, Pomo, you know, everyone in your whole life, I think you've ever known as 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 cookie 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 you wouldn't remember. Oh, like the font is giving me 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 me. The grandma's not Betty White. But it's Betty White vibes. I believe she's the old lady from my favorite Ben Stiller movie, Duplex. Okay. I've ever seen Duplex. I don't think so. 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 $0. 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 neighbor from hell. And they basically get end up trying to kill her like it's insane. It's such a good movie. Oh, that's so fun. 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 grand. Like you have to watch a movie. You are the grand. This grand is Ellen Albertini Dow. You would know her if you saw her. Yes, she's also in the wedding singer. Is she from Duplex? 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, you know, why were they doing all that? No, and did it quite as good as not another teen movie? Agreed. But like that parody genre of regular movies like scary movie, right? Yes, scary movie was I think the first. Okay. Our fifth and final story, Margot Robbie and Jacob Alority. 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 Alority? I'm like, I rang the bell on it. I sounded the alarm. What did you want from me? So they're doing press the movie. I don't know. It 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, humming their couches while watching it. Like Jacob is so everything. It's really weird. Like, please stop. Oh my God. I was just going 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 real treatment. And like, Justice Maria Jade, like that's someone's man. Justice for her husband and father of her child. Yeah, but also for Olivia Jade. No, no, because at least like, at least Margot Robbie and her man, like they are secure. You know, they have a family together. Like, yes, she can act weird, but that's who she's going home to. You know, her and Olivia 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 at each other energy, like to the press junket, like, you know, like Cynthia and Ari and 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. Sydney, Sweden, England, 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. No, I don't think they're trying to tell us they're having a affair, but I think they're trying to like, titlate us because of the sexiness and it's like, you guys have partners go home. Yeah, just promote your movie and go home. 1000. You don't have to like put on all the sex. Like we don't care that much and we don't believe you. Yeah. And if you are telling the truth, well, then that's disrespectful. Yeah. No, it's weird regardless. Like the thing about Margot Robbie saying she likes, she hosted a, oh, 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, titlate 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. It's what you're saying. Like, or you're being honest and that was like what everything was happening in your telling that and then you're weird. Yeah. So either rude or you're weird. Yeah. Patronizing 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 and workplaces. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, those are the fast-by stories like that. 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 for taking the fast five, like that's how it all goes to shit. The fast five. We will never. We will never. We will never. We will never. 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 we operate in fives. So true. We were just saying this. Yeah. That's five stories. Five patrons a month. When we do an episode choosing our favorite X's of the year or whatever, we'll do five songs or five albums. Yeah. We're just like, we're couple of five. And that's a magic number. It's a hard magic number. I'll leave you with this. And you're our magic queen, Korgi. Thank you so much for coming on the show today, despite the fact that you were literally on national television last night. Yeah. I mean, a network broadcast television. Thanks for not forgetting us. I put my arm around, show you how strong I am. I put my arm around, I'll show you that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm unstoppable. I'm a poor show with no rigs. I'm so confident. Yeah. Yeah. I'm unstoppable today. Unstoppable today. Unstoppable today. Unstoppable today. Unstoppable today. Unstoppable today. I'm unstoppable today. Unstoppable today. Thank you, Queen Korgi. If you change, shout out to my vocal coach Tim who gave me that idea. He taught you that? Yeah. Yeah. He was like, I couldn't figure it out. He was like, we did do it a thousand times and he was like, just do it. Like. When I was listening to C's version today, I was disappointed. It didn't hit. Yeah. And that way, I would like a version on Spotify of Queen Korgi's version. Yeah. I wonder, do they put like your performance, like they're on YouTube, of course. Like can you buy it on iTunes or whatever? I need it on Spotify, so someone needs work on that. I'll burn you a CD. Please. I just want to say like shout out the show has such a wide reach, like not my ant texting me last night. You got to make a CD and sell it on your podcast. You did. Like I do.
