Good morning, millennials. And welcome back to The Toast. Happy Thursday. That feels so much like a Friday. It's disgusting that it's not. It does, but it's Thursday, latter half of the week. We did it, even though this week was just crawling along. Classic August week. Things we did. We're in the latter half, so let's acknowledge the space that we're in.

I can't worse. I can't. Why? I am at a place in my life where I cannot acknowledge anything other than one specific thing. You know, when like a story from the, this happened to me a couple of weeks ago with ballerina farm. Like I woke up thinking about it.

I have spent so much of my time like reading, investigating, watching videos about Justin Baldoni that like I can't sit here and talk about anything about that. I was talking about it right before we started. Well, you're welcome to talk about it because it wound up not being a story like day four of It Ends With Us drama. So if you want to give an update on your findings, now would be the time. Okay, I do. And I need to correct something I said yesterday. So I said that he has a podcast about like respecting women with his wife. He does have a podcast about like relationships and respecting women with a different girl.

Oh, that's like disrespectful. Wait, it gets crazier. Ready? Are you ready? The podcast co-host, this girl, like I've landed on the site of TikTok where people are like recapping. Okay.

This girl, the podcast co-host, went to the It Ends With Us premiere, did not acknowledge, tag, take a picture with Justin, but had a million pictures of Blake being like queen, queen, queen. Also at the premiere. And so when's their last episode? I don't know. That's a good question. Is it an active podcast? Or are they like switching off? Are they enemies? Yes.

I just feel like everyone's podcast is always on break. Don't you find? Except us. Except us. Especially in August, like they would have cause and he's doing. Press. Press. Okay. So it's called the man enough podcast. Of course it is. Is that it? Okay. And what's her name? With the cohost. Actor and author, Justin Baldoni, Liz Plank. Oh, she's in a journalist and the president of Wayfarer studios and music producer. She's the president of Wayfarer. Someone else is there's a third cohost, Jamie Heath, and that's a man. Okay.

When did the podcast last have an episode? On June 17th. And it was Jamie answering community questions. Ooh. Then on June 10th, the hosts were all on together tackling the complex and sensitive issues of men's violence against women sparked by the disturbing P Diddy video. Oh. And then of course, like that's, it ends with us. Like that's a huge part of the movie. Okay. So bring, remind me to bring it back to Wayfarer studios. Okay. Okay. Um, so Liz was at the premiere.

celebrating blake question mark like she's there you would think because she works with justin didn't even take a picture with justin june 17th that's a really long break yeah but it's not that far in the sense like some people just take off for the summer some people do seasons like that's true our last episode together was june 10th can you go to their podcast instagram page like do they have an update what so then they have june 3rd june 10th june 17th before that it's april 15th

This is a very inconsistent podcast, February 14th and then March 11th. Got it. So they don't take it seriously. I guess not. Okay. But also Jackie at the premiere, like the big New York premiere two nights ago, um,

You know how like at a lot of screenings they have like cast and directors come up and answer questions or like talk about it before the movie and after. It was just Colleen and Blake. Like why wouldn't the director and star? You cannot fucking convince me that something isn't going on. And I think it's really nefarious. Now there is a floating theory going around with my community of people on TikTok, the other mentally ill who are obsessed with this. And you know, I spoke about one of those theories yesterday, which is so dumb that like,

You know, he's purposely taking a backseat because domestic violence is real. Like, yeah, domestic violence is real, but there are people like who play Hitler in movies and they still take pictures with their co-stars. Like it's not a thing. And that's like not how the talkies work. Okay. But now the other theory is that, and you know what? I'm kind of seeing it. So people are saying that, you know, Blake and Justin, Justin, Blake and Ryan Reynolds, I think that they are investors in this movie too. I think they put some money in to like their producers. It,

you know, Blake shared on the red carpet that one specific scene was actually written by Ryan. Like they have their influence in this movie. Um, and people are saying that like they steamrolled Justin, like they're, they like made it their thing. And like Colleen totally stood with Blake cause Colleen loves Blake. And because they invested in the movie, they thought they had say creative say, and, uh, you know, the studio side of it, Justin, like it was this like really creative difference type of thing. Um, I don't know.

I don't know about that because I don't know why. I believe that so far. I'm waiting for the end because how does that get to a place where Blake and Colleen aren't following Justin? Like if they steamrolled over him, then he's the victim in this story. And like, why would they unfollow him? I don't believe the theory one, because I don't see Justin Baldoni as a victim. Two, it wouldn't make sense as to why not a single other cast member is following him on Instagram, is taking pictures with him at the premiere. I think that's like half the story. I think maybe they...

started to dominate the movie. And I think as they should, like this is a woman's story. It's so true. And maybe his reaction to that is what led to everyone disliking him. Like maybe he yelled at everyone. Like maybe he acted really poorly. I think there's a back half to that. Now, I'm glad you brought up Wayfair Studios because I have to tell you another part of this. Like you're going to freak, okay? Wayfarer. Wayfarer Studios. It doesn't have to do with the furniture company. Right, right, right. But I just want to make sure like whatever I just said is what you're talking about. Yes, yes. Okay. Okay.

So I, like I said, many times I did not watch Gina Rodriguez's show, The Virgin. I don't know Justin Baldoni from anything.

And all I had really known about him was like people were obsessed with him. They thought it was cute, like from this show. And he has this podcast where he like talks about women. And I just know that he's like the devil. Like I just know it. Like I know it in my fucking bones. I just want to say they've released 11 episodes in 2024. We are more than halfway through the year. As we discussed, most podcasts have like a 40 episode. We're on like our 150th. Quota for the year. But like weekly podcasts, even if they're taking a break, you are supposed to release 40 episodes a year. You should be at 20. That gives you 12 weeks off. Yep.

For them to be at 11, like something's wrong with the podcast. So when I went down my Justin Baldoni rabbit hole, the first thing people said to me, like so many comments on our Instagram and YouTube were like, Claudia, have you seen his proposal video? And I said, no, like who gives a fuck? Apparently like it was this whole production produced by Wayfarer Studios because I went to go find it today. It has 14 million views on YouTube. Like that's weird. Like things should be private. Like if you're a celebrity, like, okay, a lay person's video going viral for proposing. So cute. Yeah. A celebrity. It's like, ew, get away.

And it was produced by Wayfarer Studios. It was on the Wayfarer Studios YouTube channel. And it has 14 million views. And I'm assuming that's how he met these people. Or they're existing friends. He did his video. And then probably Wayfarer Studios got some shine. And now they do a podcast together. But I can imagine at the time, like all the headlines, Justin Baldoni's viral proposal will bring a tear to your eye. Now watching it in hindsight, knowing like he might not be the person he...

said he wasn't listening to your commentary as you watch the video this morning. Red flags abound. So he sets up hidden cameras in this restaurant that like him and his wife are supposed to meet at. She gets there, she sits down, no one's there, not even Justin. And this video starts playing and it's like literally a 30 minute video of him like recreating music

music videos, different movie scenes, high speed car chases, like very high production where he's the star and every, in every like little clip he's about to propose, but then like something goes wrong, you know, and then he has to go to the next one. And eventually like he ends up at the restaurant in real life and proposes to her. And it's like such a love letter to himself. Like it's so narcissistic. And I could see how when it first went viral, people like thought it was cute. Like if you, but now, like you said, like if you look through the lens of like maybe Justin Baldoni, like, is it like a man who supports women? Like this,

This is so nefarious and it's so cringe and it's such a red flag. Like it's literally, it's a, it's a film reel for his acting career. Like, look, I can do action. I can do musical. I can do dance. I can do sport. I can do comedy. I can do thriller. Like a self, like a self,

funded project like it's his own movie about himself jackie it was so weird and like the editing being like i told emily to meet me here and it's like your celebrity act like it like this is giving seriously like family vlogger youtube channel like i can't i have such like this giving um what was that okay i'm glad you brought that up so this is proof of that the world hates women can i tell you why right

Justin Baldoni did a high production version of what that Instagram girl, fashion ambassador, her name is Marissa. She actually has a fabulous line of body suits now that I wear all the time. - No, she's such a queen. I love, I started following her from the whole saga, which I guess was the intended point. And she's such a premium content creator.

She had this viral moment a couple of years ago where her boyfriend at the time was proposing and he took her on this like whirlwind adventure where he would like leaving clues. She kept trying to find him. He would like fly her to Miami and be like, I'm here waiting for you. And then like the scavenger hunt took her shopping. And then once you open the shopping bag, she thought you would find out where he, oh, and they ended up in Paris. It was like this very, very extravagant. It was going viral. And of course it quickly turned sour. People were like, this is a scam. This is cringe. This is pre-planned. They pitched brands like,

I think if you were to, I don't know her personally, I think if you were to ask her about it now, she would say it was the worst thing that ever happened to her. Like the internet fucking destroyed her. Yeah.

Justin Baldoni did the same exact thing and everybody was like, oh, PJOM. The world hates women. - And influencers. - Yes. Jackie immediately reminded me of fashion ambitionist. Like I was like, oh my God, it's the same but different. - That's so funny. - And it was celebrated. Now I think that people are questioning his character. People are watching the video with a more critical eye, which I showed up with a critical eye. Like I show up, you know, I wake up every day with a critical eye.

Jackie, it was so cringe. I cannot. And I just want to say like the theme was justice for fashion ambitionist. Yeah. Well, I love that. I love that. That's where it's coming back to. Yeah.

And what's so crazy is when the video came out and every headline is like, Justin Maldoni is like the man of our dreams. Anyone had said at that time, like this is a little weird and cringe. Like you would have been such a hater. Totally. But one thing about me, I'm not afraid to embrace my inner hater. Like, and I want to go find the episode where we said, you can't be afraid to just say it. If you feel it, like if you feel it,

And that's why, like, I think if we were to go back and find the episode where we first announced it, like it ends with us, it was being made into a movie. And then that week we're like following the saga and it turns out we're like, who's going to buy it? Who's going to drink? And the first sort of like celebrity involved with Justin Baldoni. I remember I was like, okay, yeah.

From then until now, Justin Baldoni is someone who has been forced upon me. I have not entered Justin Baldoni's universe in an organic way. You're here against your will. I'm here against my will. Everyone's talking about him like we know we're supposed to know everything about him. I don't know anything about him. And the more I know against my will, the more I want to know nothing. Yeah.

And I feel like a lot of people feel like me because not the whole world watched Jane the Virgin. Millions of people did, but there's billions of people on earth. So billions of people are like, who is Justin Baldoni and why am I always hearing about him? You guys, yesterday when we were uploading the episode, we were like going back and forth with episode title ideas. And I was like, Jackie, what about like, you know, who is the real Justin Baldoni or a referendum on Justin Baldoni? And she was like, do you think we should put his name in the title? Do people know who he is? I'm like, they do, but it's fair. No people.

know who he is. The people who listen to this show.

What percentage? Yeah. No, I really feel like like much like this show. It's 50 50. The 50% quality is know him and the 50% Jackie's do not. And by the way, when I say know him, like I had heard his name. I knew he was from Jane the Virgin. I was not a fan of his. I didn't know other work. I didn't know about the big proposal. I did not know his name. I did not know about like I did not know anything. And now I know all these things and I wish I didn't. And now it's like my problem when I never contributed to it to begin with. All that to say, the more I learn, like I stand firmly with team Colleen, Blake and Ryan. Like I hope

they did steamroll. I hope they did. As they should, because why does this unknown man like take charge of the movie that captured the hearts of so many young girls? It's true. And let me say another thing, by the way, let me say another thing. Ready? And I'm going to touch your hand when I say this.

And maybe this is me. Like I said, I know nothing about Justin Maldoni. So he acted in a CW show. Does that make you a director? Right. And maybe he directed short films. He directed his own proposal video. That much I can tell you. No, like all of a sudden KJ Apa is everywhere. Yay!

Like a CW show character. By the way, I need to just say one thing. No, we can't change the subject. No, table it. We need to keep talking about this, Jackie. Like it's seriously, it's giving me oxygen into my veins. Actually, I think oxygen in your veins like kills you. It's giving me blood in my veins.

How do you go from being like a CW heartthrob to being the director of like a big blockbuster movie? I don't understand what makes him qualified to be a director. Like I wouldn't have cast him in the movie like just for my own choice. You don't know like what he studied in college. I don't. And what he does in his free time. No, I don't know. If you went to his IMDb, I'm sure he's directed like a lot of small projects.

So have I. They're called Instagram stories. But also, if you are a big star with a lot of clout and you're an actor and you find this book, you could go out to a Colleen Hoover. Maybe she loved Jane the Virgin and she'd love for you to have your directing debut on her book. I think that that is very possible. I just want to tell you, he doesn't have a big IMDb. It's actually really crazy. Okay, so it ends with us. I'm sure he would say because I really only take on projects that I can give my whole self to. So he has 32 acting credits, but a lot of them are like waiter in one show. So it ends with us, Jane the Virgin.

a movie called con man where he's on the cover so i'll give him that he was in two episodes of madam secretary he then plays an interviewer in a movie called 73 questions with logan oh no he's the interviewer in 73 questions with logan rollings okay he's in a movie in 2014 called a fine step like these are one episode of a tv show three episodes of tv show four episodes of tv show like then he has a bunch of producing credits he actually produced that movie um

Five feet apart with Cole Sprouse. Well, as we know, like really anyone can be a producer. It's very true. He is for upcoming production. It's like being a cheerleader for the movie. Just because I think it's important. I haven't heard of a single one of these movies he's produced. Just saying. Then he has 14 directing credits. Sorry, there was an error loading credits when I tried to press direct. Okay, now here. It ends with us. Clouds. That sounds familiar. Disney. Oh. Directed by him.

Oh, he directed Five Feet Apart 2, that Cole Sprouse weird movie. Okay. So that's exactly what I've said. He's got a little stuff under his belt. He took on the big kahuna. Okay. So he directed one episode of Jane the Virgin. They obviously like let him, you know. That's classic. That's how a lot of people get started when they're on big TV shows. Then after that, he directed My Last Days, eight episodes of a show I'm not familiar with. Then.

Then five feet apart. So he really is very limited directing, but not none. For sure. But like, you know, he was taking a leap with It Ends With Us. Yeah. I just think it's a big leap for like this studio. I think it's Sony to give to a relatively inexperienced director. Yes, but I also think that...

that the movie just kept getting bigger once he became a part of it. Like Blake being a part of it made it so much bigger and it became this huge thing that maybe if it was just him and Colleen and an unknown lead actress, he would have had to do more directing. You know what I could have like, Oh, and he in an interview expressly said, cause you're right. Like this is a true woman's story. This Colleen, especially like her career is propped up by women. This movie, like, I mean this book, excuse me, was like a woman's story, but also like a,

talks about an issue that really exclusively not exclusively but mostly affects women and for them to like fork it over to some man like to be like the face of it like okay no and he did an interview being like with a lot of the intimacy intimacy scenes and a lot of the dv scenes that you know he took a step back and he just like let blake and the girls do their thing because and like he admitted that like what are you doing here yeah get out yeah although i could have seen a world in which like ryan reynolds directed this movie if blake had gotten there first you know

Yeah. Even though Blake is also like doing the, the Justin Baldoni thing where she like directed one of Taylor Swift's music videos. I feel like she directs like small little things. Maybe she had wanted to direct it. Yeah. Can you have two directors who are also the stars? No. And I think like directing in it and starring in it is, um,

unnecessary like just one and actually thank you to all the toasters people have been tagging me like this is my thing now thank you so much because they tagged me in this deadline video it was like a reel that had one view like it wasn't they were on the red carpet at the it ends with us premiere interviewing jenny slate who plays ryle sister yeah i saw it

And they asked her like, what was it like working with Justin? Like he was directing. He was also starring. What was that like? What was the experience like working with him? She totally sidesteps the question, just being like, oh my God, who would want to do two things? I was just acting and I felt so tired. Ha ha ha. And didn't acknowledge, didn't even say his name, too, didn't acknowledge the experience of working with him. And like,

just went out of her way to completely not answer the question. People are comparing this to Don't Worry Darling in the sense that it's like drama within the cast before the movie premieres. But I actually think at the core of it, it's a very similar issue where Olivia Wilde was directing the movie and also in the movie and also dating like the main star and her attentions were lost sometimes. I think that's what Flo had felt. And I feel like that's the issue too. So maybe like if you're going to be in the movie, don't direct the movie. We should have a director and

actors and these stars who like want to move into directing that's great but like you shouldn't be acting then you're a brand new director but now you have to do the jobs of two major people you barely know how to direct right

Okay, I'll try and stop talking about it, but just know like you may see a girl sitting here talking. Physically, I'm here. Well, I'm happy for you that you're so immersed in this drama. And it's like making me frustrated like hearing people's takes because people have like the worst takes on this. Yeah, maybe one day we'll know. Now you had, I had shut you down about something. Oh, I just had a thought. It was like so quick, but I was watching Ballerina Farm video and her husband looks like KJ Apa, like grown up.

What? Yeah. Watch this video. Okay, now let me, yeah, hold on. Oh, and she was making pizza. I need to pull up a picture of KJ. You know how I feel as though my algorithm wanted me to start making sourdough and that's why I do sourdough now? I feel like my algorithm wants me to start making pizza. Okay. It's like I'm on the pizza pipeline. I also saw the video of her making pizza and I just want to say as much as I've supported her. I know, dates and potatoes. As much as I've supported her up until this point, like putting sliced potatoes on your pizza, like I can no longer support that type of content. Yeah, this is where you leave her. Like for me,

It's been fun. I'm officially out. It was bacon, potatoes, and dates. Okay, look, KJ Apa.

It's like such a bad. He looks like Chase Stokes. Oh, sorry. That's what I meant. Sorry. That's what I meant. Claudia. Sure. Claudia. Sure. I never say that when we disagree. That's literally. I believe you. What I meant. Yeah. Okay. Because I'm not. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I totally. A lot like Chase Stokes. It's because we were talking about the CW. Yeah. Chase Stokes. I believe you. I believe you. He looks like Chase Stokes. An amazing call. Thank you. An amazing. A call so amazing. I might have made it. Oh, wait.

We came together on it because I made you look at him like a teeny bopper. Yeah, totally. So I needed to get that off my chest. Oh, speaking of things I need to get off my chest, two things really quick. Housekeeping announcements.

One, it's coming up August 17th. Our final show, our live podcast tour up until this point has been, you know, critically acclaimed. They say it's amazing. They say it's inspiring. They say it's life changing. They say it's, you know, worth every penny. That's just what people say. And we've decided to add one more Atlantic city, New Jersey, August 17th. We'll be at the Borgata casino, a place that's near and dear to our hearts. I would love to see you guys there. We have added meet and greet tickets. So once you get your tickets and you start checking out, there's a little add on that you can include. And we've decided to add one more.

The second thing is Jackie and I spent yesterday and the day before filming

like the biggest flop vlog ever that- Flop in terms of what we set out to do, but not flop in terms of entertainment value. It's being critically acclaimed as our best vlog yet. And we like find something out. We get like a, like the vlog is, we're baking, okay? Like it's not a spoiler alert. But what the vlog ends up being about is so different because in the midst of the vlog yesterday at around 3.45, I want to say, Jackie and I received such a shocking piece of information that we can never share on this podcast. Yeah. But we did share it on the Patreon because like that's what you get when you pay for content. Yeah.

It's so shocking. It's so life-changing. It's actually debilitating. Yeah, we were not okay. It's hindering me from properly doing my job. Ourselves. So it's in the vlog. People are saying it's like the funniest editing. Like that's just what they're saying. So patreon.com slash the toast. Just wanted to let everyone know. Check it out. First of five episodes that will be dropping this month. Yes.

Great. Well, now I think without further ado. Oh, wait, one more thing. Sorry. Today, look, I feel like I haven't even really talked to you about this. I'm doing something crazy. You're going to the live method. I am. You know, if you're not familiar with the live method, it's like a personal training slash gym in New York that Olivia, Margo and Jackie and Jackie's husband like are obsessed with. Margo's always posting videos from there. I've never been like, I'm genuinely afraid. I don't like love personal training. It's the personal training part is like totally fine because Matt really has the

elk of a good personal trainer and he's really like motivating and fun. Does he have the elk of a dreamer though? I would say so. I think it takes the elk of a dreamer to like start your own business. It does. But he's doing like Hamptons and now that the Soto Method pop-up is over, I've been like, I don't know what, I don't know where to go. So...

I'm doing that today. And that's why I'm wearing biker shorts. And that's why like, I kind of have like a crush spirit. It's really hard. Stop. No, I know. But like you, if you were to stick with it, like you will really transform. I had to do this like intake call yesterday. Like, what are your goals? I'm like, not pass away. Like, yeah. Yeah. Good luck. Thank you. I'll be back tomorrow to report. But like, if you don't hear from me from the rest of the day, just know I'm like deeply, deeply. I think Matt will start.

I don't think he wants to scare you away. Yeah. So that's good. That is good. Yeah. Okay. Your mic flag is turned around and it's almost like you want to hurt me. It's almost like I'm just constantly turning around because I'm very like 180 degrees around here. I'm looking here. I'm looking there. I'm listening to Ro. He's really his father's son with that snore.

Romeo's so cute. He's so cute. These boys need a haircut like desperately. I know, but I think I'm going to wait. Yeah. We've not at this point we've waited all summer. We just don't know where to take them. And I saw Nicola Peltz post something about her fur baby. She was very vague, but she said pretty much like she took her dog to the groomer and then her dog died.

Okay, I want to say a couple of things. I'm not doubting at all that that happened, but I don't think that's a... It doesn't make me want to try out a new groomer. No, that can't be like a statement on groomers, first of all, because she goes to the best of the best of the best. She probably uses the same groomer. The groomer probably flies in to go find her and her dogs. That's one. Two, this can't become a referendum on groomers. I'm sorry, it can't. That's true. Also, she said it should have been a routine grooming session because I feel like

I'm not worried about my routine grooming session. I would be worried about going somewhere new where like maybe who knows what goes into it. I'm sorry. You know, I can't be suspicious and doubtful of everything. We've come this far. No, but it's like, seriously, we didn't even know where to take them. Like I can wait three more weeks. I can wait. But like, he's really starting to piss me off with like his furry butthole. They're so cute though. They're one with nature. Okay. I'm ready now. Sorry.

Our first story is actually some really crazy news, but all three of Taylor Swift's ERA's tour concerts in Vienna have been canceled after a planned terrorist attack was foiled.

So all three of her shows in Vienna have now been canceled after the arrest of two men, men, man. I'm glad you're doing it. Planning a terrorist attack at Austria's stadium where Erez was set to be. The...

Taylor nation posted Taylor Swift. The arrows tour Vienna shows canceled due to government officials confirmation of a planned terrorist attack with confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Apple stadium. We have no choice but to cancel the three schedule shows for everyone's safety. All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.

So this isn't a reschedule. No, this is a full cancellation of all three shows. The police in Austria gave a press conference describing like what the terrorists had planned. Yeah. And like the full horror of it. And it,

It's horrible. What was the plan? So you know how thousands of people gather outside the stadium to listen? Like in Munich, 40,000 people were outside the stadium. So their plan was to ram them with cars, stab them with machetes, and set off bombs. Because that area of Berkshire... It's not regulated. It's not part of the stadium. It doesn't have security. Oh my God. And it was...

set to be that day. Like the fact that we're reporting this and not like a horrible tragedy is so amazing. I heard that it was like us intelligence that figured it out and they shared that with Austrian officials, but I don't know that to be true. So, so frightening. No, I like, this is to me the craziest thing that's happened all year. Like this is a crazy, craziest story. We will ever report how close it was to not, you know,

reporting on the foiled attack, but just on a horrible, horrible thing. I don't blame Taylor for canceling. I don't blame Taylor if she never goes back to Vienna ever in her life. Get the fuck out of there. I wouldn't blame Taylor if she canceled the rest of the Eros tour, even the ones I have tickets for. How fucking traumatizing is this? And this was just on the heels of that other terrible story where, you know, there was that Taylor Swift themed dance class and that freak came and stabbed all those kids. And I think about this all the time, like in regards to Ariana Grande in Manchester, like how anyone can,

continues after that. Like, I don't know the relief for this particular situation. I don't even know if it's relief because you're so close to seriously, like one of the worst things ever in the world happening. I wouldn't be so like people are like, well, she needs to say, I, I give her so much grace. Like don't talk, talk like,

Traumatizing. Yeah. I don't know how you get on stage ever again. Like for real. Yeah. I'm just like, so glad that they figured this out. Cause this was like set to be massive. You know, and apparently like the two men who were arrested had gotten jobs with like companies, vendors, the security company. Um, it was like meant to be an ISIS attack. They had already like pledged their allegiance. They had recorded videos, like taking responsibility for the attack. And, uh, they were arrested and they like one of the suspects like admitted to

to all of it. Just some really like crazy, crazy. I do wonder like what she's going to do. I'm sure she probably doesn't even know like what this is so unprecedented. This is so, Oh my God. Like seriously, this is the most shocking thing I've ever like, it's not shocking sadly. Cause like that's the world we live in. But yeah,

Yeah. Just like really scary. The scale of it. Yeah. And thank God. Thank God. Literally. Thank Hashem, the Lord. And I guess like people won't do that anymore. I sit outside the stadium. So I'm glad I didn't see that, that that was the plan. And I'm glad you shared that because if I know that and you know, I'm thinking of maybe tailgating. They didn't have tickets to the show. They were just planning on using like cars, bombs and machetes and knives to like take out the attack in the parking lot.

So important piece of information to share. Like you hate to let the terrorists win, but I would like, now I will never do that. I will never do that. Right. And I could see a world in which I would have. Right. Oh my God. Like absolutely insane. And like, I just can't with some of the people online, like being like, but I've been so much money on my travel. Get a grip. Get a grip. Cause I then, so the statement that you just read,

Taylor nation shared to their stories and it was an infeed post. I think from like the promoter was called Barracuda, Barracuda music. They must be some like a live nation types of sorts of, of Europe. Yeah. And the comments were on and like, seriously, like the level of mentally ill in the comments was not normal. And what, what am I supposed to do about my, you know, bus fare? I don't know. Be happy you're alive. Right. Like seriously, not okay.

I cannot believe this. Like seriously, I feel so bad for Taylor. And she was already in Vienna. Like it was set to be that night. Yeah. Like how close and down to the wire. And it's really crazy because we haven't had any cancellations for Taylor. Like not even, I don't know if there's been like weather. Some shows maybe have been like wrapped up a little early. She doesn't cancel. That's like her thing. Yeah. This is such an extenuating circumstance. Like seriously, I would be in favor of her canceling the whole tour. Like I can understand like

Even if you're not a person who's like easily frazzled, like ISIS is next level. Right. I can't. Yeah. So, so glad to be reporting this situation and thankful to us intelligence. I hadn't read that. Yeah. Wow. So,

Our next story is a little positive Travis Kelsey news. Oh my God, I'm obsessed. Because the first photos have emerged from him hosting Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? It premieres October 6th on Prime Video and we are getting our first taste of who the guests are who are playing the game. I'm also just now putting together that-

Prime Video was like, I think trying to revive game shows, which I love. Like they have pop culture jeopardy. Are you smarter than a celebrity? And they're tapping like good talent. I'm not against it. No, I mean, fun fact about Ben and I, we are obsessed with GSN, the game show network. It's so low budget. It's like seriously, it's like,

They make the most of with what they have and they come up with all these new shows that are so fabulous. Piece of shit. Like seriously. So I'm glad for maybe Prime should just buy GSN, but whatever. As a reminder, the 20 episode Amazon original series will feature an adult contestant relying on a classroom of celebrities who will help them answer 11 questions pulled from elementary curriculum. Hilarious.

For the $100,000 sixth grade level final question, the contestant can select one celebrity to discuss the answer with before submitting it. So making up the celebrity classmates are Nikki Glaser. Wait, so is it the same class every time?

No, I think every episode. Yeah. Like, cause the six, the five celebs there are different than here. Um, making up classmates are Nikki Glaser, Natasha, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches, who's a, uh, and then a football analyst, Ryan Fitzpatrick, um,

Former NFL receiver Chad Ochocinco. Ochocinco. Garcelle from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Lala Kent from Vanderpump Rules. Podcaster Sophia Stallone. And actress and producer Lilly Singh. This is so interesting. It's like a certain level of celebrity who does this. Well, I would say like celebrity is like a gracious word. But it's a cool synonym.

stop for like, I like this level of celebrity. Like these are like the people I like to engage with most. A thousand percent. And reality stars. And I think this is hysterical. Me too. And you know what, when Nikki Glaser was on the toast, she was talking about how she recently like had, was on set. She like booked a gig that Travis Kelsey was on. She didn't share what it was, but I guess it was this. And she was like,

She said it was like the hardest thing not to like freak out. But then he's like at this point is very much used to it. And he's like really embraces people like crying and all that. And he's like very cool about it. Yeah. So this looks to be good. I wonder who's going to be the smartest celebrity. I love. Oh, right. And so these are just like the classroom. Who are the celebrity contestants? We don't know yet. Ordinary people.

Oh, and are they smarter than the celebrity? It's a little confusing. It is. It is. And I think the OG concept of the show was kind of brilliant. It should be like celebrities against fifth graders. Yes. Like one celebrity per episode and you know, a couple of kids. Yeah. But this is cute too. Yeah. Very cute. I like this thing that prime video is doing where they are clearly trying to revive old shows, give life to new shows. Like I think the game shows are extremely underrated. They're very, um,

entertaining who remembers the wall that was so good i love game shows like and the classics are good jeopardy wheel of fortune etc etc but we need more like those two 30 minute shows every night like it's not enough yeah i want to watch this just to see if i'm smarter than a fifth grader yeah of course like i wish they would let's see there'll be some sample questions from like the old show that would be a fun exercise like a pr thing if they release some questions like

They should make a filter on TikTok. Are you smarter than a celebrity or whatever with the questions? That's like a really good marketing idea. You guys should do that. Are you smarter than a fifth grader questions? I'm definitely not. Math questions. First grade. The first day of the 20th century was? January 1st, 1900. Yeah. Right? 1901. Wait, what? Why wouldn't it be? I guess because zero is like the 100th of the 1800s, right? Okay.

Right. That's like a trick question. I know. That's not are you smarter than a fifth grader. I don't think that's by the way, that's first grade. Oh, please. Yeah. Okay. If you cut a quarter into thirds, how many pieces would you have? Three. Yes. Okay. This feels like a trick question. Yes. All of them are like a little sneaky. If I have five apples and you have four apples, how many more apples do I have? Then you one. Yeah. Okay. That's not trick. That's one.

And first grade, I need fifth grade. Okay. Let's go down to fifth. These are bad questions though. Oh, wait. Each category. Let's do what category you want. Math is good. Okay. Math is so scary. Yeah. Math for a fifth grade. A hexagon has how many sides? Six. Yes. Slay. 141 times two. 282. Okay. 282.

If you need half a cup of flour and you only have a quarter measuring cup, how many times do you need to use it to get the right amount of flour? Two. Agreed. Why are these harder than, easier than first grade? First grade. So true. If a football field is 100 yards long, how many feet long is the football field? Oh, how many feet in the yard? Okay, wait, hold on. How many feet in a yard is...

Three feet is one yard. And what was the question? How many feet is the football field? 300. Good job. How'd you know three feet is one yard? Because a yardstick is three rulers. Interesting. I didn't know that. I'm really smart. Like it's crazy. How genius I am. 34 times 20. Oh, Ben's so good at this. Okay. 34 times 20. That's a tough one. 680. Ben could have done it. Ben has like a trick. He explains it to me.

But I still don't get it. Yeah. He's really good. Like he's Matilda. Like I'd be like, what's 170 times 11,000? Let's do history, fifth grade history and then we'll move on. Okay, this is where I lose. What was the name of the last queen of France? Frenchette? Marie Antoinette. Deville. Oh, she was the last one. Yeah. I just watched that movie. And I mean, yeah, it ends with her. It ends with her. Yeah, it's Marie Antoinette. Who founded the Red Cross? France.

Oh, I know this in some recess of my mind. Oh, I didn't know that like somebody's... Oh, wait. Yeah, remember in Gilded Age and they all go... Yes, and also in Marjorie Post. Yeah. I don't know her. It's something like Clara Bo... Clara Barton. Wow, good job. Sweet. I wouldn't get it. If you were in Germany, you could have said who was Clara. Like maybe they would have. Yeah. Who commissioned the Lewis and Clark expedition? Girl...

Somebody turned like seriously. I think it's Andrew Jackson. I think it's like queen of Tunisia. Like Jefferson. Damn. He's the queen of Tunisia. Kind of giving Tunisia energy. The modern day city of Istanbul was known by what name in the 13th century? I know. I think I know. Hold on. Yeah. Hold on. I think I know. It's giving like,

Not Babylon. Mesam-to-nople. Constantinople. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that fine? That's my answer. No, mine is. Mesopotamia? Thank you. Mesopotamia. I'm saying Constantinople. Constantinople. Oh, you're a bitch. Even though I said Constantinople first, by the way. What was the most widely grown crop in the Middle Colonies?

And what are the middle colonies, can I ask? Like in between the North and the South. Of America? Yeah. And what was the question? What was the most widely grown crop? Kern. I think cotton. Wheat. Damn. Oh, we should know that. The bread basket. I want to say we are not smarter than a fifth grader. No, not at all. But like, can a fifth grader shake their ass like I can? No. Where was the region known as the Fertile Crescent located? That's a cute name. I have no idea. Southeast. Southeast.

southeast what america i don't know either the middle east literally what i said you got half right yeah except about america yeah okay that was fun that was fun are you ready for our next story what's our third story oh yeah it's news that is targeting me and i feel targeted oh my god i'm

Let me hold your hand. Because my fave new artist, Shaboosie. What did he do? He was spotted with a young woman in New York City at a nightclub, like an item. He's seeing a celebrity, female celebrity. Oh, and you're upset that it's not you? No, I'm upset. Because you don't like her? I just don't like it. Okay, let me see.

M. Radha and Shabuzy were seen holding hands at a New York City nightclub. She just gets everything. M. Radha and breakout star Shabuzy were spotted packing on the PDA at a New York City hotspot on Tuesday night, sparking romance rumors Page Six can exclusively reveal. A source tells us the model and the singer walked... She's 33 and he's 29, in case anyone wanted to know. Walked into Musica nightclub together around 11 p.m. for Afrobeats artist Rima's album release party.

We're told the two were holding hands when they made their grand entrance, making it clear to other party go to goers that they were an item. All eyes were on them as they remained by each other's side throughout the evening. You know, I feel you like I don't think this is the one for Shibuze. No, I don't think so either. Also, like totally random. You just reminded me. Did you see those pictures of Larsa Pippen's ex-boyfriend slash Michael Jordan's son doing cocaine? No. He's like sitting at a table with all this food and like everybody's eating and he's just like doing bumps.

Well, I'm like, I guess that's why he's not eating. Yeah, no, I just said like the juxtaposition of the french fries and the cocaine like are just... No, it's one or the other. Yeah, no. And it appears as though he was indulging in both, which is really crazy. That's really crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, totally separate. Shibuzy, I love the idea of Shibuzy dating someone in the know. Somebody seedy, like a young Hollywood thang.

Not this one for me. I love him so much. I can't stop listening to his album. I think he's so fantastic. I know you do. I'm sorry. Like if Shibuzy has no fans, bye bye to me. I do want to say, I don't think that this is like the end all be all for Shibuzy. I think there will be other girls and you can find solace in that. Yeah. But it was really just like not what I was expecting to read this morning. No, that's shocking. Like that's really shocking.

I also feel like Emily Ratajkowski is in this industry for a long time. And like, she knows what she has to do to like, because she's not, she's like a writer. She's a podcaster. She's a little bit of an actress. She's a model. So she doesn't have like one thing where she can like do another movie to keep her name in the press. So I think she's actually really smart and strategic in how she positions herself. And she's kind of becoming like,

A little bit of like a Pete Davidson. Do you know what I mean? And I actually think it's really smart and we're always talking about her, but not for like, you know, she doesn't have a lot that she promotes. Like she wrote the book and that was like a good, like nice chunk of time for her to be out and about, but it's hard to stay relevant. And I actually think this is kind of brilliant. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that's a compliment. And maybe she's a Shibuzee fan too. I mean, who isn't? I mean, could you blame her? The music is so good. The cream is rising. The duet with Noah Cyrus like is actually making me like rethink which side of the feud I'm on. Okay, wow. And here, obviously the natural follow-up question is who do you Shibuzee with? Let me check my list even though I hadn't even thought about it.

I feel like he needs like a solid girl. Cause I feel like he's going to have so much success, like very quickly. He already is. He's breaking records that like have never been broken before. And I feel like he needs his like high school sweetheart to keep him grounded. That or somebody who's like really like Lori Harvey. Like she was born into this. She totally, she's not using a face or she did it in Michael B. Jordan. Like she's,

She is not easily phased, but then also like her dad is her dad. Like she has a lot of experience dealing with fame, money, things like that. I feel like she's probably, now I don't know this because I don't know her at all, but I feel like she's probably really grounded. Yeah. Or like Stassi baby I have on my list. I know she's dating someone, but I feel like she's...

another one who's like grew up in the industry. I kind of love it. It's like, she's so solid for Kylie who has like stratospheric success. I feel like she could be that for a shabuzie. No, I think that's a really good call. That's a good person to have on our list. Like if I read that the two of them were dating, I would seriously fall out of my chair. She would fall out of a coconut tree. Like, but I'm also open to it being someone who I wouldn't expect, but that I also like much like Aurora and Paul Vernon. Like I'm still mourning. Yeah, we know that's why she's wearing all black today. Yeah.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Real Paper, a brand new sponsor here at The Toast. I think we can all agree that we want to make our homes as toxin-free and as sustainable as we possibly can. And while most people start out their non-toxic journey by cutting out the sprays, cleaning products with harmful chemicals, many people have not thought about the paper products that we use for our entire lives. They're just kind of...

like a thing that we don't think needs changing. But toilet paper is used in our most sensitive areas, and there are paper products out there that are using harsh bleaching chemicals. They've been found to have BPAs and forever PFA chemicals, and that's why we love Real Paper. They are designed with a premium toilet paper that is free of inks, dyes, BPAs, and PPAs, a great product that's better for you and better for our planet. When you use Real, it doesn't feel like you're sacrificing something for a better-for-you swap. In fact, it feels like an upgrade. It's soft and strong and isn't linty like conventional toilet paper.

Instead of cutting down trees to make paper, Reel uses bamboo because it grows incredibly fast and it's a grass that can be cut and harvested over again and again, just like the grass on your lawn. Reel partners with One Tree Planted with every box of Reel that you buy. They are fundering restoration efforts across the country. So unlike other toilet paper that cuts down trees, Reel is helping actively plant them. I actually think that's really smart when we think about sustainability and then like toxic-free products. We don't think of toilet paper, but that's literally going in like the most important parts of your body. And I love Reel Patent.

That's realpaper.com.

for a special BOGO offer from Target. It's the biggest discount they've ever offered. So let's make a change for good this year and switch to real paper. Real is better planet paper. Thank you, Claude. You're welcome. Our next story is a little new reality TV show news because Real Housewives production company is shooting a Palm Beach pilot about snowbirds with some socialite women. Ooh!

Ooh, wait, I like this. So Palm Beach is getting the Bravo treatment. Purveyors of Pop, the production company behind Bravo shows Real Housewives of Miami and Married to Medicine. They also were behind one of my favorite shows, Lady Gang TV.

They like know what's good. Quality television producers. They're shooting a pilot tentatively called Snowbirds. Sources familiar with the production tell Page Six. As the title suggests, it's about snowbirds, New Yorkers who tend to trade the frigid temperatures of the Northeast for the warm from the sunbelt over the colder months. So Marjorie postcoded. So a source told Page Six, it's about people who go between New York and Palm Beach, but it's absolutely not a housewives show. It's more like Palm Royale. It's like Ladies of London. I agree.

but I could see it turning into real houses. Of course, which is an untapped market. I know they have real houses in Miami, but I feel like Miami, when it comes to wealth, it's actually a lot of people pretending to be wealthy, not the real house. I just mean like Miami in general. It's like a lot of glitz and glam, but it's a lot of like smoke and mirrors. Palm beach is like the real fucking deal. The richest people in the world go to Palm beach. Right. And they have some names of cast members so far. Oh my God.

God, I didn't even see any of this. I'm so excited. We're here. We hear the cast includes Sharon Bush, who's the ex-wife of Bush scion Neil Bush and mother of Lauren Bush. And I do feel like we went down this rabbit hole recently. Lauren, Lauren, right? Is that Lauren, Lauren? And she's not the president's daughter. She's not loosely related. That's a good cast. And Neil Bush is a sibling.

yes jeb jeb neal and george george w bush's brother oh my god so george w bush's brother's ex-wife that's perfect perfect romance novel cover model cindy geyer okay wait i'm on my way i spell it cindy yep g g u y e r no i'm sorry to tell you not that's like a weird job yeah maybe she probably does other things oh she's like such a classic looking let me see

Like she's perfect for this show. She's such a Palm Beach lady. Society publicist Anna Rothschild, who apparently also stars on New York, not stars, but guests on New York City sometimes. I've never seen this person. Oh, wait, that's a journalist. Anna Rothschild, socialite, PR, I see. Okay. She is a publicist. Let me see. She looks like...

Barbara Kavavet from Real Houses of New York. Nice. And then entrepreneur Gail Brophy. I don't know that. I'm obsessed. G-A-L-E-B-R. I wish all these names were hyperlinked. Gail what? B-R-O-F-P-H-Y. Got it. No F. Gail Brophy. Mm-hmm.

Not much about her on the web. 1,300 followers. She's a, oh, she owns, what did they say she was? Entrepreneur. She owns some horses, which is interesting. She owns the winner Strike of Gold. They won the Kentucky Derby and all of her pictures are like wearing big hats. Oh, wow. Oh, she's like a Southern belle. She's like, oh my God, obsessed. And then Jane Scherr, who's the mom of Lily Mugrabi, who's a socialite. Do you know who that is? Lily M-U- Sorry, Libby Mugrabi.

M-U-G-R-A-B-I. She's like most known for her divorce, which was like the most acrimonious divorce in history because her husband's an art collector. And it was like while it was always in page six.

So they're hoping they'll get her on via her mom. But then another source said that Libby would never do it. Okay. I just want to say, I didn't know any of these ladies by name, but just based on brief research and development, it seems promising, which is good because when Bravo started, I didn't, this isn't confirmed. And then also a Pomme socialite couple. I think it's two men, Guy Clark and Harrison Morgan. Oh, wow.

- I like that. - And then someone said that the show's gonna stand around them and then plus all these women, but then someone else said no one knows who those people are, it's about the women. - Okay, well, I just wanna say-- - I'm sure they're actually, if they're filming now, they're working out who it's about. - Yeah, and I think it not being branded as a Housewives,

opens them up because there are a lot of really wealthy gay men who live in Palm Beach too. And I think that could be fabulous. Okay. Usually when we hear about a new franchise and then we like get names, it's really like bottom of the barrel because it's hard. No, I think the Real Housewives have like a, the brand has a little bit of a reputation, like a stigma that I think wealthy actually socially people run from.

Yeah, I also think that the best sort of casting is actually not someone that we know so well who we all follow. It's like someone who's connected to an event or a person that we know. So like they're not total strangers to us, but we don't know anything about them. I feel like Leah Black from The Real Housewives of Miami moved to Palm Beach and she would be perfect. Except I don't want this to be Real Housewife-y at all. Yeah, and I actually think if they do it as snowbirds, then they'll do their filming like when in the winter and then they can be honest about the fact that they haven't seen each other in a year. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's so true. Yeah. No, this is brilliant. And it's not confirmed Bravo, right? Because it's just a production company that makes Bravo shows. Right. But it could go anywhere. Love. It's giving like Discovery Plus, you know? Totally. No, this sounds very good. And then are you ready for our fifth and final story, which is a little space news that's been going on for a while, but people are just starting to...

Talk about it. Talk about it. So Boeing Starliner astronauts have been in space for over 60 days on a trip that was supposed to be eight days and they might not return home until 2025. So I feel like, you know, a subplot that like should be a bigger story in the world is Boeing and their epic failures and all the whistleblowers passing away. The whistleblowers passing away, the planes, like seriously, it's

every day something is happening. Such a nefarious company. It wasn't always like this. No. Like plane doors were falling off often. But two NASA astronauts may be stranded in space aboard the Boeing Starliner until 2025 due to ongoing delays officials have announced.

The agency held a news conference giving an update on the two astronauts who have been in space for over 60 days, approximately seven weeks longer than expected following their June 5th launch. The initial trip from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Florida's space coast was supposed to last no more than eight days. NASA and Boeing are currently discussing whether the spacecraft is safe enough to return to Earth because I guess like upon takeoff, there was like a helium leak. So they were just trying to like assess the problem.

or they need to find out if they need to seek assistance from rival Elon Musk by using SpaceX to retrieve and bring them home. - They need to seriously like, check their egos at the door. These people need to come home. This is, and also-- - And like their fam, I think the astronauts in space have seen pictures. I think they're doing well. - And they can communicate. So it's not like they're like kidnapped and we don't know. - It's not like that movie, "The Martian." - Okay, but you're right where they like-- - And he has to like make potatoes out of duty. - Well, that's the other thing is like, does he do that in the movie? - I think so.

I watched it with the sound off. Do they have enough provisions? Like water, food to make it? That I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that other...

Spacecrafts can like make deliveries to other things, but I guess they'll need a bigger one to like pull them home. That's good. So at least there's like an ecosystem out there of people. Because like Elon makes a lot of deliveries. SpaceX makes a lot of deliveries to like NASA space stations. Boeing is a rival because NASA is like the government and then they hire out contractors. And Boeing had like the biggest contract for so many years until like Elon came along and... Was doing it better. Was doing it better. And more eco-friendly using recyclable rockets. But what I understood from Elon's book was like Boeing...

if they were asked to make a rocket by NASA, they got paid the entire time. Wait, sorry. Boeing, if they were asked to make a rocket by NASA. Okay. They got paid the entire time that they were working on the rocket. So they would move slowly. So they move slowly and efficiently versus Elon who like was saying, no, you should get paid once you have,

have the rocket and he's making rockets faster than anyone. So I think that that whole system has changed, but he really put Boeing on alert. So for them to have to now go to him and ask for help, they're going to try to do everything. But at the end of the day, like they have to get these people home and Elon needs to help. And I guess that's why nobody's panicked. Cause it's like,

They know that they could get them home if they need to. Like SpaceX will come to the rescue. But I'm sorry, this is unacceptable. No, no. So not okay. Like imagine your husband's going on a work trip for eight days and it turns into two years. I'll see you next year. Not 2026. You said 2025. Okay. Insane. And what's going to be different in 2025? The thing's broken. I think they're still like working on it. Maybe they'll ship parts or whatever. Now, can you leave your space station and like float over to another one?

Not to another one, because I think that's really hard. They do that in the movie sometimes. I don't know if it's ever been done in real life, but like when you leave your space station, you're tethered to your former. So I think to make the swap is really crazy. It's like the umbilical cord. And it's like dire situations. This is dire. Yeah. Well, I guess, no, I'm sure they could have a bigger space station like,

stick onto them and carry them home. No, like to connect to them. But I wouldn't trust a bigger Boeing space station. Like, ew. Ew. Now Boeing's like seriously nefarious. We need, where's the documentary? Cause it's a little confusing. Like what they do. I thought they did airplanes and now they did rocket ships. They keep it confusing. They keep it confusing, but like nefarious. And we need to keep talking about it. No, but like nobody's talking about it. No, they are. It's always in the news. Whistleblower this, murder that. But it,

door flying off here. Their feet aren't held to the fire. No, because they have what's called a monopoly. They do. There's no, well, I guess in space, but I meant in aviation in general, like there's no, it's Boeing or, no, it's just Boeing. Elon needs to do an airline, but like, I just don't think he will. Elon Air. Yeah, to like, because there's so much inefficiency, corruption, stupidity, and he needs to streamline it, but I just don't think he like,

He wants to waste his time. He flies private. No, and it's like he's taking on like bigger questions. Of humanity. Not like discomforts. No, yeah, but I'm uncomfortable and I need somebody to help. Yeah. At the end of the day. No, but he needs to do like for the airlines what he did for the space race. Well, it really comes back to what we were saying earlier in the month is that hashtag bring back Delta song. Then maybe all of our problems would be solved. But not the space problems. But he's solving the space problems with SpaceX. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, you know who's kind of,

living life happily enjoying Jeff Bezos Jeff Bezos he took himself out of the space race he settled down on his boat with his girl blue origin works but nobody's saying blue origins blue origin was a flop blue origin was a flop like and I think it's for the best you can't be the best at everything and I think like Nicole Lauren's influence is

he's happy and he's like not involved in this drama now. Cause no one's saying like, can blue origin help Jeff help? Like, no, you can't. And that's fine. I feel like, and they would, if it meant not having to ask help from Elon. Oh yeah. But literally the only person like everybody tried virgin, like they did their little thing, but the only people making real impact in terms of like space discovery and aliens or whatever, um,

it's spacex you watch a documentary where they you reused a rocket like for the first time ever yeah that shit was crazy that was one of the best documentaries i've ever seen yeah i didn't realize how obvious that was of a thing to do and how novel it was that he did it it's an episode of young sheldon that was really cute where young sheldon like in the 80s discovers how to reuse rockets like i guess for so long a big issue was like the rockets would self-destruct and it's like we couldn't reuse them and people were dying and it's like well what if we could just like

like a plane, like you take off and then you land in the same rocket that you took off. Rockets would go up and then they would plunge into the ocean because we did what we needed to do. But that's like millions of dollars. It's so much waste. What if we could years and years rebuilding a new one? Right. What if we could? And so Sheldon figures it out, but the people at NASA, like don't believe him. They won't read his work. And apparently like the composition notebook that Sheldon put all of his equations in ends up in the hands of Elon Musk. So when the day comes that Elon Musk for the first time ever reuses, uh,

a rocket and like sustainably, you know, goes to space. He's like reading Sheldon's notebook. Elon is in the episode at the end in his office, closing Sheldon's notebook. And he's like being interviewed on CNN. He's like, wait one second.

It's actually very, very funny. No, that is so great. Yeah. Classic stuff. That is so funny. Classic Elon. Let me say good stories today. Right? I enjoyed every minute with you. And we kind of had six with that Justin Baldoni thing. It's true. Don't bring it up. We can't go back there. We've come so far. But we will always have Justin.
