She also reflects on the dynamics of the Jonas Brothers, highlighting how Kevin often plays the role of the glue and is a family-oriented guy. She tells a cute story of watching Kevin perform with his daughters in the audience, which made her realize how cool it is to have a rockstar as a dad.

5)     Jax and Claudia discuss how the co-hosts of "The View" failed to ask Hugh Grant about his recent controversial interview with Ashley Graham. Instead, they opted for a fluff interview and talked about his reunion with his former co-star, which disappointed viewers and left them wondering why the hosts of "The View" didn't take a hard-hitting angle. While "The View" is known for political opinions and tough interviews, this time they missed the mark and ended up with a missed opportunity.

6)      Jax and Claudia discuss their disappointment in The View declining to ask Hugh Grant about his past comments regarding Ashley Graham. They argue that The View has become a mess over the years and no longer holds the same level of respect they once had for the show, given the number of times they have apologized for offensive comments. Claudia suggest that The View could have avoided the situation by not having Grant as a guest or discuss the issue in a way that does not make them appear weak or protective of Hollywood celebrities. They argue that the show used to be about delivering explosive content, and while they may now want to talk about topics such as promoting a film, they still need to provide engaging interviews by covering relevant issues.

7)      Claudia discusses a Passover song that has become a viral phenomenon on social media. They also discuss the recent drama surrounding Zendaya's stylist Law Roach, who announced his retirement and then clarified that he is only retiring from celebrity styling.

8)      Jax and Claudia discuss Ben Affleck's recent clarification on his unenthused and viral appearance at the 2023 Grammys, where he was caught talking to his wife JLo before the show had started. Affleck claims that he was caught off guard by host Trevor Noah and thought they were framing the shot. The hosts feel that it's invasive that he had to explain the situation, as it was just a small moment in a lifetime of moments. They also mention how this can serve as a reference for people not to jump to conclusions based on appearances and to take into account the context and circumstances. The hosts also praise how the couple handles their relationship and are genuinely involved in each other's lives, including being good step-parents.

9)      Jax and Claudia discuss the possibility of Jennifer Garner being a toaster, referencing a comment she made on one of their posts using toasty lingo. They debate whether it's sufficient evidence for her actually being a toaster, ultimately concluding that only Jennifer Garner herself can prove it to them. Regardless of her toasty status, Claudia agrees that Garner appears to be living a fulfilling life with her happy family and successful business ventures, including Once Upon a Farm. They also touch on some interesting observations from a recent Jonas Brothers concert, including the appearance ofthe "Jenna Rink dress" worn by one of the cast members.

11)   Claudia discusses the recent controversy surrounding Mr. Beast's request for fans to fix the label on his chocolate barsin Walmart stores. While some critics have accused him of exploiting free labor, Jax argues that it's a harmless request and that Mr. Beast is a charitable influencer who has never done anything wrong. They also defend him against accusations of ableism and point out that he is always finding new ways to give back to his fans and society. Overall, she takes a positive view of his request and the support he receives from his fans.

12)   Jax and Claudia discuss the case of former Family Feud contestant Timothy Blifnick, who was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and home invasion in the death of his estranged wife Rebecca Blifnick. The couple was going through a divorce at the time of the slaying. Blifnick had made a joke on the show about marrying her and it being his biggest mistake. However, Claudia notes that there is no evidence provided in the article to support the accusation, aside from the fact that they were estranged. Claudia also mentions an episode of Judge Judy where her bailiff was accused of killing his wife, bringing up the coincidence of people related to famous TV shows being charged with murder.
