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.

I sound amazing.

Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday.

Hope everybody had a Part Delicious Week.

I'm kicking off the Part Delicious Weekend.

Somebody extremely parjee, my guest co-host today, is a sort of elusive, tall, dark,

in hand.

Are you okay? What did I even say? was funny? It's funny. I agree. Let's talk about that. You are. You're elusive. I'm elusive. It's Ben. Do you know what it means? We're both elusive. Do you know what it means? Yeah, like, fun and it's like. No. She's like carefree, which is so us. That is not. Elusive means mysterious. You're very like, you lurking dark corners. I am. I do. It is my husband, chef, celebrity, Ben's software. Hello, Ben, how are you doing? Hello, darling. I'm doing wonderful. Do you feel like maybe you want to talk into the microphone?

I'm in it. What do you mean? It's in front of me. Every time we podcast, our levels are so different. I'm so like normal and loud. I can't be like this. And like, see how you're standing up straight and you're talking into the mic. When I do that, I'm now over the mic. So what do you want me to do? You want me to be Quasimoto at the mic down like this?

No, I can't do that. So I would have to do this. Is this better? Bore someone else with the details of your confidence? No, maybe I need like a nice book under my microphone. Anybody have a nice book? Anybody have a book? My God. Does anybody have a nice book? Just, oh my God, like.

That looks like a good book.

Okay, we've got books. Smell Robbins. They're getting books. They're clearing the shelves. We got a couple of books. Ready for this? Are you ready? Are you ready for me to talk into the mic? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh yeah. You feeling good. I feel I feel great because now my spine is arched. Okay. I don't feel like, I don't know, like there's like some like spine stuff in my family. Like I just don't like there actually is some spine stuff in your family. Your dad had a C-shaped spine for many years. He's the scoliosis king. Yeah, he recently had his back like rebuilt. Completely rebuilt. 12-hour surge. He's a robotic man. I think it was 14 and he's looking fantastic. So Ben, welcome to the toast. Thank you, darling. It's been a little bit since you've been here. A couple of weeks. Mm-hmm. What's going on with you? We had a wonderful week. We did have a wonderful week. A very busy week. We're just like so busy.

Booked and busy.

I was out on the town, Gary Vaynerchuk dinner, mix game, all this stuff, you know. Oh my God, wait. I know. We have to tell everyone. I know. Oh my God. I wish we saved it for Queenie and Weaney. No. Okay. So kind of like the biggest deal ever happened this week.

And I was annoyed that we, I was annoyed that we weren't doing our regular show. Have I told the story on the podcast of Nashi Newman? Yes. You told this story a million times. Well, that's where I met the Great Allie Brunson. Okay. So fine. Start from the beginning. Just because in case you're new here, this is like sort of Ben's heroic, like origin story.

This is when I found out that I could manifest

this story. It's really like more networking, but sure. What do you mean? It's manifesting. So,

like what, three years ago? Three years ago, two or three years ago. Two or three years ago.
