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, Swirlie. It's the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday. Today I'm honored and a little bit threatened to be sitting down with my arch nemesis, Josh Peck. Hello, Josh Peck. What an honor, Claudia. I'm so happy to be here. We're the two biggest people in Ben Stopper's life.

Yeah.

Okay. So, like, I have so many questions for you because you know we talk about you and the good guys on the toast, like almost every single day and it's almost always negative. Do you know that? I know it's negative. I know you blame us for a lot. I know we're constantly being gaslit. So say more. Yeah, I always wonder because like Ben knows about it and he like laughs, but sometimes he's like, I think you're taking a doo bar.

And I'm like, I wonder wonder because like Ben knows about it and he like laughs,

but sometimes he's like, I think you're taking a do bar. And I'm like, I wonder if Josh knows because I know page listens. I know a lot of people in Page's life lessons. So I'm like, does Josh know the lore? Here's the lore. It's that like, you know, Ben had a podcast. And it didn't take off. I don't you familiar with Ben's first podcast, the Schvitz?

making so much money. No, um, we just can't get over it. Um, I love that Ben. God, what a friend.

What a friend I got out of this. He doesn't, I know you know that Ben loves you,
