Good morning, girlies, it's the toast. It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your host. 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.
Ben Soffer 0:25
Welcome back to The Toast. Happy mundaries, you guys. Today's such an exciting Monday because I am joined by Buon Gelish, Ben Soffer, Claudia's husband, host of The Good Guys, Lish on the Dish.
Unknown 0:39
Lish on the Dish, happy to fill in. My codrus has fallen ill.
Ben Soffer 0:43
I'm actually really excited. I'm sad that Claudia is sick, but I'm really excited to be co-hosting with you. Just, like, shake it up.
Unknown 0:47
I love co-hosting with you.
Ben Soffer 0:49
I need a little disruption.
Unknown 0:50
Yeah, you know, we could do this all the time on The Good Guys. Like, you're always welcome. I think I invited you to come on, like, a couple of weeks ago. I was like, come on. You said, yeah, maybe.
Ben Soffer 0:58
I think I said, yeah, but, like, set it up. Make it easy for me. Like, you know, I'm a guest.
Unknown 1:03
We're here. It's easy.
Ben Soffer 1:07
No, no, we need to like spread out. Otherwise, you know, people get sick of us. I totally agree.

Who is co-hosting and what is their excitement about?

Ben Soffer 1:12
We're always hosting together.
Unknown 1:14
I totally agree. Lish on the dish.
Ben Soffer 1:15
Lish on the dish. I'm excited to just shake it up. Get your perspective. There's so many ongoing stories right now that Claudia and I have sort of circled the drain on. So it's like time for a fresh perspective.
Unknown 1:24
You're also lucky. Like, you know, I live with my head in my ass and I know nothing about everything. And I somehow know everything. everything about what's going on right now in pop culture. I know everything. I've been consuming, I've been watching, I've been doing. Claudia's controlling the remote and I am focusing, okay? I think that has to do with, you know I've been keeping my version of Shabbat where I shut my phone from Friday night to Saturday night and then torture the people around me to do menial tasks for me. But I can't just be on my phone, so she puts on something. I'm watching Mormon Wives, okay? I'm watching Love Story by JFK. I can't be doing anything else. I'm reading my book, Miraculously Bright Creatures.
Ben Soffer 2:04
Wonderful, isn't it? Thank you.
Unknown 2:06
Wonderful book. I'm about 60% of the way through, page 205. Do you think you'll be finishing it anytime soon? Yeah, I'm doing about... Maybe in like three Saturdays? I'm doing about 20% a Saturday.
Ben Soffer 2:20
Okay.
Unknown 2:21
I think this was my third Saturday.
Ben Soffer 2:23
And it's not good enough that you feel like maybe reading it on a Sunday? No.
Unknown 2:28
When would I read it on a Sunday?
Ben Soffer 2:29
Instead of watching TV.
Unknown 2:31
No, I could. We really don't watch that much TV. Like at night, like an hour at night, and then we go to sleep. Like, I've had such a long day, I'm going to read.
Ben Soffer 2:39
Well, if you love the book and you want to know what happens next.
Unknown 2:43
I love the book so much that I don't want it to end.
Ben Soffer 2:46
Okay, listen, to each their own. We're glad that you're reading.
Unknown 2:49
It's a great book. It's a great book.
Ben Soffer 2:50
We're never going to clown on you. And yeah, you can read at your own pace. I'm not going to judge you.
Unknown 2:54
It's a great book. And I just like, Claudia picked it for me.

What fresh perspective is being sought in pop culture discussions?

Unknown 2:58
And it's just so me. Like, she's friends with an octopus.
Ben Soffer 3:01
That's so you.
Unknown 3:02
That's so me. I would be friends with an octopus. Like, I don't have octopuses in my orbit to be friends with. But if somebody introduced me to an octopus, I would be friends with an octopus.
Ben Soffer 3:10
You're just a friendly guy.
Unknown 3:11
I'm friendly.
Ben Soffer 3:12
Yeah.
Unknown 3:13
So friendly. Drove the car here today. Noticed there's a little ladybug as I brought down my window. Little ladybug. And I was thinking to myself, what do I do with this ladybug? I stopped. I turned off the car. I returned the ladybug to where she belonged.
Ben Soffer 3:30
Did you make a wish?
Unknown 3:32
No, I just said, I hope you have a great day.
Ben Soffer 3:34
You're supposed to make a wish on a ladybug.
Unknown 3:36
Really? Do I still have the wish?
Ben Soffer 3:38
Yeah. No. It's gone. It's like when you encounter one.
Unknown 3:41
Good. Well.
Ben Soffer 3:42
So you missed out.
Unknown 3:43
I gave her back her wish.
Ben Soffer 3:45
Oh, wow.
Unknown 3:45
I didn't steal her wish from her.
Ben Soffer 3:47
You gave her power back.
Unknown 3:48
I gave her power. It's like Aladdin with the genie. She's free.
Ben Soffer 3:50
Oh, my God. Speaking of Aladdin, we saw Disney on Ice yesterday.
Unknown 3:53
Yes, we left before Aladdin.
Ben Soffer 3:55
Oh, we did.
