I Don't Speak Karen: Monday, October 28th, 2024

- Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to The Toast and happy Monday. Hope everybody had a gargi-pargi fall weekend. Speaking of gargi-pargi girls, it's Jacqueline Follet. Hi guys, it's me. I'm here with Bruno. He decided to come. Oh my god, why are you talking so weird like you just started your YouTube channel? Hey, welcome back to my channel. I'm here with my dog, Brewie, who has decided to come to work today. After bankrupting the family, he wants to contribute towards his medical bills. So he is in studio, a little toothless, but not homeless. But not homeless.

If he keeps going the way he's going, maybe. At this rate, he might just be. He might just be. Toothless and homeless. I want to thank everyone who shared their stories about Big Pet because I feel very validated while also feeling like I had no other choice but to extract 14 teeth. And that you made the right choice. In the moment. In the moment, I had no choices. And there's no downside to the extraction of 14 teeth. Yeah.

And that really brought me a lot of solace and comfort. So thank you guys. And Bruno really appreciated it too. Yeah, I was like ready for people to be like, oh my God, Jackie and her theories again. But no, this time like they were on your side. This one's a slam dunk.

It's also just kind of a universal thing. Like you're bringing pet owners together from all different walks of life. And in a time when our country is so divided, that sort of unification was really appreciated on a Friday nonetheless. It's true. My favorite were like the people who are trying to tell me, you know, I'm wrong for my theory. And they're like, it's good for the canines, like for this breed, like to have their teeth taken out. Like it,

As if their teeth are bad for them. But like those are their teeth. Why would they have teeth that are bad for them? And in the words of Lady Gaga, like show me your teeth, you know? I still have yet to see Bruno's teeth because the paper literally said like don't open their mouth to try and see their teeth like for two weeks because you could move a suture. I would hate to move a suture.

It's so annoying when you're just trying to live your life and you end up moving a suture. Do you know what I mean? It's like so frustrating. And so for Bruno's privacy, like I haven't seen his teeth. Yeah, that's good. And for the sutures privacy. Of course. But once those sutures fall out of their own accord, it's game over for you sutures. Let me tell you what happened to me.

Okay. That's what we do here on this show. The show should be called What Happened to Me. And here's what happened to me. I took a TikTok social media break and I returned this morning. Oh, right. And I have such crazy thoughts. Like they are so opposite what I thought. Okay. So I was really ready to like take even more time off TikTok. Like that it was really so good for me. And...

It made such a difference in my screen time and my overall well-being, my mental health. Like, I know that TikTok is a problem and, like, I just...

this experiment was just gonna prove it you know like right I didn't need evidence but if I needed it it was gonna be this and like let me tell you I don't really feel like it had that effect at all my screen time was like just as bad as ever I was just using different apps and I want to say worse apps like I spent so much time on Twitter and like and Reels obviously Reels was just boring me like it wasn't entertaining me at all so much time on Twitter which like obviously election season like it was really just like it was annoying me like it was like too much yeah and I

I don't know. I don't feel like it had the intended effects at all. I don't feel like... I don't feel better. I didn't feel like I was spending less time on my phone. If anything, I was just like on my phone feeling desperate, you know? Yeah. So that's good to know. That it's not like stopping you from...

doing all this like medical research that you would have otherwise been doing. I was not productive. I didn't make anything with my hands. You didn't read more? No, I watched like 30 episodes of Glee, but that's really it. That is productivity though. And that's getting an education. You're telling me. For turn self. So what I did take away, because I did then like do a little bit of research on my screen time and especially like during the weekdays, I definitely exceed my

Like, it's bad. Like, I would say two and a half, three hours a day on TikTok. Like, that's really, really bad. I'm the double T. So I'm thinking of putting in a limit. Okay. Maybe like 90 minutes a day. Okay. Because it is also my job. Like, I need to be, like, you know, up with the kids. I do want to say, though, I didn't feel like I knew less about what was going on in the world. Everybody was like, oh, my God, you posted about Sabrina and Taylor so late. Like, are you just now seeing it on Reels? No, like, I saw it when it actually happened. I just didn't post about it. You're feeling the Reels prejudice. Yes.

Yeah, yeah. And to be honest, like I don't want that like that kind of smoke on me. So I'm going back to TikTok. Or we could just do away with prejudice. Okay. Ideally, yeah, that would be nice. But the prejudice is out there. And so I'm avoiding it at all costs. Understood. Well, I'm trying to change the prejudices. And also, did you download TikTok like yesterday? Because you sent a TikTok in like in the chat. I did. Did you like go back yesterday to TikTok? Or you really waited till this morning? This morning? Yeah.

Because you sent a TikTok and I was like, oh, she caved. Yeah, I think so. I don't want to slander. I don't want to slander. I thought like in our family chat, you sent a TikTok last night and I was like, oh, she's back. Better than ever. Was it Ben? Was it Ben?

What do you mean? Because I was like watching some TikToks with Ben like over his shoulder. Oh, sorry. I apologize. It was Margo. Thank you so much. I do apologize. No, I did do it. It wasn't necessarily hard. Margo wrote in the chat. Margo wrote in our chat. We talked to her. It wasn't necessarily hard. It was unenjoyable. Okay. And the thing is like we're trying to cultivate an enjoyable life for you. An enjoyable life. And so...

Cultivate your vibe and a tribe, my friend. And a tribe, my friend. Well, speaking of... There are two types of people in the world. Like people who use the word tribe and... Actually, I'm sorry. Three people. Like people who use the word tribe. Like people who use the word tribe in relation to like religion and Judaism, in which case... No, we're not talking about that. We're talking about like culturally. And then the people who don't. And I personally fall into the third group. No, there are three types of people in this world, okay? People who use the word tribe.

People who use it like religiously and people I hate. Oh no. And people I like. Right. Well, speaking of people that I hate, you know what else I did this weekend? This is not a good segue, but you know what else I did this weekend? No. I voted. You did vote. I did know that. I saw that you took your snack and your umbrella. And my plan.

Your planner with your plan. My planner. It was kind of a long process making the plan. I just basically woke up and was like, is my polling place open yet? And it was. So I went. And it's really easy. Like Google. Do you want to share your plan?

Yeah, I Googled, is my polling place open? And I put in my zip code and they said, yeah, actually it opened at 8 a.m. that day. So I went at like 11. It was packed. Oh my God. And I have a few things to say. One, we got into a fight, okay? I didn't even tell you this. I did hear about it though, through the grapevine. Okay, well two, actually three things happened. One, I Googled before, can you bring, because we were taking Romeo for a walk. I'm like, can you bring a dog to a polling place? They said, yes, if he's a service animal. I'm like, Romeo is a registered emotional service animal. So like seriously, eat my fucking ass, okay? When we walk in,

The security guard, because it's in a building in the city, so you walk into the lobby, but you actually vote on the fifth floor. So there's a bunch of staff in the first floor, and the security guard is like, is that a registered service item? And we were like, yes. He said, come right in. I knew the rules, okay? We get up to the fifth floor. First of all, the polling place might as well have been in hell. The air conditioning must have been broken, and it was actually the first really cold day in New York, so I was puffered up.

Holy shit. I start like sweating. I'm just like already in a mood and there's a line, whatever. We get to the front of the line and this absolute fucking beast, Karen, like she did not work at the polling place. She was not a volunteer. She was just a CUNT. Okay. With a big green N95 mask. Like you just knew the vibe, you know, like she comes over and she tricked us. That is not your tribe. Yeah.

And literally, like, she almost, like, she was so methodical in her, like, in her interrogation. She obviously, like, had a plan, right? She made a plan. She goes, is that your pet? We're like, yeah. Romeo. Like, what do you think? He's just, like, a stray? She said, and she, like, asked it intentionally because I guess, like, the answer would have been, no, he's our service animal. Right. But I thought she was just a normal person. Forgive me. Speak dweeb. Yeah, like.

I actually don't speak Karen. So I was like, yeah, I thought she was going to say, oh, like so cute. Right. Pets aren't allowed in polling places. And I said, and I was hot and I was like already on edge because the line and I'm like, she chose the wrong fucking bitch. I'm like, mind your fucking business. First of all, like when we walked in here, we went through protocols. Okay. I spoke to security. I know the rules. I'm a fucking normal person, bitch.

And literally everyone started looking at us and she like wouldn't let it go. Like, you know, for lack of a better word, dog with a bone. She was like, that's what I said. That's why I asked if it was a pet. I'm like, you fucking set us up. Like with your dumb fucking question, you stupid bitch.

And if she wasn't like an older woman, like I actually would have thrown hands because I was just not in the mood between the heat, the line, like everything. I was, you know, the TikTok withdrawals. Like I was not in the mood for this fucking lady. It's giving voter suppression. Oh, by the way, she was trying to suppress my vote. 1,000%. 1,000%.

And so I'm like over it, you know? And so I go and I check in and I have to sign. I'm like, okay, yeah, sign. You know you don't think much about your signature. She's like, that's wrong. I'm like, what's wrong? My signature? So she did work. She was a poll worker. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm over the print lady. It's a different she. Different she. Lovely, lovely woman. And we're chatting, you know? And she's like, your signature is wrong. And I'm like, how can someone's signature be wrong?

And she's like, "Do it again." I'm like, "Okay." It's literally Claudia Asher. Like it's whatever. She's like, "It's not a match." I'm like, "A match to what?" - To your old signature. - First of all, I didn't know this was a quiz. Like I didn't know it was supposed to be matching. - Right. Sometimes I like to try out a new font. - Yeah, no, and by the way, like when did I take this? Like I was obviously going through something when I did because after four turns, she finally showed me the original I'm supposed to be copying. It must've been my first time ever voting in high school. I had a heart over the eye in Claudia. Like, okay. - Yeah, you have to tell her, explain to her. Like you've changed a lot.

I didn't know that that was like some sort of, I didn't know that in that moment when I was making that signature, I would be held to it for the rest of my fucking life. Yeah. That's a form of like voter ID, like signature matching. Overall, it's like, you know, a good thing to verify, but. It's a bad system. You should just know when you do your first signature that you'll be matching it later on. Well, if that's the case, then the voting age should be 30. Cause I really didn't figure out my signature till I was like 27. But in their defense, like maybe they did tell us that when you registered to vote and like it just didn't register. Yeah.

So then I'm done voting and I'm looking around the polling place for Ben. And he's like still in the booth. I'm like, what are you doing? Like he was being so slow and I'm really getting hot. And then he goes over, he takes his ballot and you have to put it in the machine to like, you know, it like sucks it up and registers it or whatever. And his isn't working. His isn't working. And I'm like, seriously, so hot on this floor.

So I said, Ben, I'll wait for you in the lobby. Like, I can't. When I told you I sat in the lobby for 30 minutes, I don't know what the hell was going on. They were really trying to suppress Ben's vote. His ballot had to be void and he had to do the whole thing again. I'm like, only you have these problems. Everybody else, everyone in the neighborhood came and went. No problem. But Ben's was void. They had to cancel it, recheck him in again, let him get back online. Like, so annoying. What was the issue? Does he know, like, what the issue is?

We weren't told. Maybe it was Romeo. What do you think? Do you think that he messed up his ballot? Filled it out wrong? So that was a lot. That's what the rumors were saying at the polling place about Ben. But in his defense, the machine wouldn't even suck it up to know that it was filled out incorrectly. I actually don't know. Okay.

Interesting. Well, I'm glad you got off the boat a little early voting. I'm going to try and make a plan for this week. I had never really early voted before. I don't think I'm very much like a day of swirly, but I don't know what compelled me. Maybe it was all the time I was spending on Twitter. Yeah. No, but I feel like everybody's early voting. I know. Why would I stand in a longer line on election day? On the day of, even though the line was long as hell, I feel like no one's going to be voting on actual election day.

Major key, potentially. I think that might be the hack. I don't know. Now it's like, okay, so I'll go back for election day. I think I gamed it, but then I'm like still in election day lines. I'll just, I'll make a plan if I may say so. Vote.org. Vote.org. Get out the vote. It's the season. Which also means my birthday's coming up.

Oh my god, so true. My birthday is on Wednesday after election day. It's like no one's gonna be like, actually I mean I will welcome the reprieve. Yeah. But I think everyone's gonna be like really caught up in election drama. That's okay. I'm not like, it's not a significant birthday. I really, I'm not, I don't have major plans and I'm saying that in an earnest way and I just want to get myself a gift. That's all I want and of course for my sisters and I look forward to a bounty of gifts for my sisters because I really crushed it for them this year. Your

You're a great gift giver. I can, if you know, I could speak freely. I can let you know I have not shopped for you yet. Great. No idea. So if you want to send suggestions, I would be more than open. I will. I think I will because I'm craving a couple things.

That's helpful. That's helpful. Yeah. Just be reasonable, of course. Oh, I'm nothing if not reasonable, Turt. Because you recently went through a bit of a bankruptcy due to Bruno, as did I. I bought a new phone charger on Friday after the show. Ask me how much it was. I already know how much it was. But I'll ask you for the show's sake. How much was it? 62 doll hairs. Chew on that.

Chew on that. And Romeo might chew on that. He probably will. I mean, he's not very particular. He literally eats my dirty underwear, so... Yeah. That was, like, a core part of our childhood. We had a childhood dog growing up who was literally obsessed with going into our hamper and exclusively sniffing out, like, our dirty underwear. Like...

Torn up pieces of our dirty underwear were scattered throughout our house for many years. I actually, I'm reading this book and now I'm realizing that maybe like Dagny's miscalling was being like a search and rescue hound because this book that I'm reading, which by the way, so far is unbelievable. Like pick it for your next book club if you want to slam dunk called God of the Woods. It's Rebecca's choice and it's really long. So I started it early and I read it every night and it's like, I'm so glad that it's long because I'm only at 50% and like I'm enjoying it.

So much. Like this year for redheads, it's laid the house down, which I just want to say. But God of the Woods, like it's coming into it as in a top three spot so far. And there's much talk about the hounds. So and they needed underwear, dirty underwear from the laundry bin. Oh, wow. So maybe that's what Dagny was doing. So you're reading you're reading a book about our childhood. Yeah. Also say it's actually about a summer camp.

And it's pretty. Oh you told me. Pargy-lish. God of the Woods by Liz Moore. If you're looking for a great book. And then you can be a part of the Redheads. And I'm using my Redheads mug. And. Synergy. Synergy. I'm drinking a LaCroix. Oh kind of like a major update in my life. If I may. Over the weekend. Not only did I start Glee. Which obviously is like. Is huge. But.

I don't want to like talk about it. She's private. I actually made the transition in my home from La Croix to Pellegrino just because like they had it at the place and they didn't have the La Croix flavor that I wanted. And I'm drinking Pellegrino in my house. Like, okay, France. Like I literally feel so sophisticated. What kind of bottle?

Plastic, tall, like... Not France. Not glass. I mean, please. You want me to have glass in my house? That's insane. Well, a couple things. First of all, the Pellegrino out of a plastic bottle does not hit the same...

I completely disagree. It's like fiery and bubbly. It's so good. No, you're fiery and bubbly for four minutes and then it's flat. No, I so disagree with you. And then my next crunchy lady change that I'll be making in my life is more water and glass bottles as opposed to plastic. Apparently I'm drinking the equivalent of a credit card every week. That's insane.

What about aluminum cans like LaCroix? I haven't been targeted with anything against them yet, so they can stay. Okay, cool. Yeah, so I can just see Zach hauling the glass bottles. He loves this journey that I'm on.

Yeah, I'm sure. He does because he really likes sourdough. So I think the rest is, and lucky for him, we both get like sent all these reels that it's like, if your wife starts making sourdough, just go ahead and buy the chicken coop. Because next, and lucky for him, like that's not what's next for me because of our district. HOA. So I feel like he's enjoying all the perks and he's not cleaning up chicken poop.

Great. You can carry a glass bottle. My favorite part of your crunchy granola journey is all the Patreons you make.

Like the vlogs and things. I really enjoy those. Speaking of, my husband and I are doing something so exciting tomorrow that we will be vlogging. What? I don't even know. Oh, I know. You know. And it's not like a big secret. I just like, I want it to be really exciting when it drops. So I'm not teasing it. It's a secret project, I guess, in that sense. So that's something you'll have to look forward to. That's huge. And then also, it's Halloween right now. Because... Oh my God.

My costume arrived This weekend was like The official Halloween Celebration weekend Which was great And we actually celebrated A bit of Halloween We went to a party last night And we were like Totally dressed to the nines The superheroes Totally Totally Like we all were superheroes It's really cute Did your costume arrive? Like your Halloween Your Toast-O-Ween? Yeah Yeah Did you try it on? No need

Oh, you just know that it's going to slide. Yeah, it's like Cinderella in the show. You just know. Yeah. It's made for me. I have like a bunch of boxes. I haven't opened them yet. I'm going to try them all on today because I had to get stuff for our third. I won't, you know, spoil who it is, but I think you guys might know. And I'm really excited about it. And it's always kind of nerve wracking when the Halloween weekend, like where people celebrate. Oh, my God. You just reminded me of something I have to tell you. I didn't say anything. Yeah, where the Halloween weekend comes before Toastoween.

Because there's always a chance that somebody, like an influencer, like a fellow podcaster, dresses up as your thing. And it's like, yikes. I haven't seen anyone. Yeah. But also there's space for all of us, you know. Eh. And...

That's all I'll say. I feel like actually people might celebrate Halloween too next weekend because it didn't seem like so much Halloween. This really didn't seem like the precursor. And also like if I were in college saying like Halloween's on a Thursday, like Thursday night Halloween party. You would do both. Friday night Halloween party. So I do feel like we might slide into the weekend with it a bit. And then where it's like November 2nd and you're celebrating Halloween, like move on. It's my birthday. I can't believe I've talked for 19 minutes and I didn't talk about what happened to me on Saturday night. Okay. Okay.

I like officially reached a point in my like adulthood, I think that like there's only before and after this pivotal moment. And it's when you file your first like sound complaint, noise complaint, which happened to me on Saturday night. I'm asleep and I wake up to the loudest music ever. And it's like, I live in New York, so I'm kind of like desensitized to a lot of sounds. They're pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah.

And I say to Ben, I'm like, did you hear that? And he didn't say anything. I'm like, okay, I'm hearing things because it's like faint and it's just like a bass that I can like feel in my chest. I feel like I'm kind of having like a heart attack. I'm like, okay, whatever. I try to go back to sleep. Next thing I know, open my eyes, Ben is standing over me. I'm like, oh my God, okay. He's like, I'm sorry, I'm putting on another. We always sleep with a sound machine. He's like, I'm putting on another one. Do you hear that music? And I'm like, I do hear that music. We put on two sound machines. We get back in bed. The music is getting louder and it's not like,

It's not music, first of all. It was like beats. And they were on an endless loop. And I'm trying to fall asleep and I hear like literally the same eight beats. And it's just the bass. And it's like thumping, thumping, thumping in my chest. Yeah. And we ended up putting on three sound machines and a pillow over my head. And I still could not stop the thumping. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. And I said, Ben, I think we have to call the police. He's like, I think so too. So...

I call the police and I'm like, by the way, this immediately, I'm like, this isn't an emergency. I need to file like a noise complaint. Like, I don't know. And she was like, okay. So she transferred me to like the line where nobody picks up. Right. Like nobody. 3-1-1. 3-1-1. Yes. Yes.

Nobody picked up. Nobody picked up. And I eventually just like gave up because I was like wanting to go back to sleep. It was literally like that. I know you don't watch, but there's a scene in Only Murders in the Building where he calls. He's like, by the way, I have to report like a non-urgent emergency. So they transfer him. He's like, you are a number. And he never gets to talk to the police. So I'm actually in hell and I'm starting to feel like I'm in Waco. Do you remember that scene in Waco with FBI? That's what I was just going to say. It's psychological warfare. Jackie, I had never experienced. Obviously, I've never been to like Guantanamo or anything and I've never been tortured. But...

They always say like playing like really loud static noise or music can be considered like psychological torture. And I remember that scene from Waco and I was like, oh my God, I'm literally like in a cult in Waco. I was experiencing true. And Ben was like, it was actually driving Ben to a point of craziness. I ended up checking my phone and I texted someone who lives like three blocks away from me and they were like, oh man, I just woke up.

three blocks away. There was okay and I opened my window right by the way and I know this this apartment it's like a couple of buildings down from me they have a rooftop I say always are throwing parties and like I hear the music it's not a big deal they must been having like a banger like an absolute Halloween like smash party we're just like laying in hell we have four sound machines on literally like screaming and you can't nothing is masking the and Ben and I look at each other and I'm like Ben you want to go? I said I think it stopped

I think it stopped. By the way, there must have been at least 100 people who called the police. It's a very residential area. If I didn't get through, somebody did because everyone was hearing it. Jackie, when we realized that it stopped, Ben started crying. He was like, Jackie, we were actually being tortured. I've never experienced anything like that in my life. And I felt phantom thumps for the next 20 minutes while I tried to fall asleep. Yeah. Yeah.

And not to be like such a Karen, but like seriously, what are you doing? That's insane. Like to wake up, and by the way, I could sleep through a nuclear war. So for your music to have woken me up out of my sleep, you're out of line. Out of line. Just think about their poor eardrums in the building. I'm literally like that lady from the polling place. But you know what? Like I stand by what I did and I do it again. And honestly, we saw, Ben was like, I was like, I think it's over. And Ben looked out the window and we saw the rooftop clearing out.

And I just want to say to those brave men and women in blue who showed up and to that dangerous job, I love you. Like in that moment, I wanted to like serious. I just like I wanted to kiss the police officer. Like it was so and I'm sure they had a lot. You know, it's Halloween weekend. There was a lot of noise complaints. Like I know mine wasn't important. But in that moment, like I love them.

That's beautiful. It was like the actual craziest thing I'd ever experienced in my life. That's crazy. And the next time I want to hurt someone, that's what I'm going to do. Okay. But you also like will hurt yourself. Oh, no, I'll leave. I'll leave. Okay. I'm old. What are the stories like today? Good. Like just a lot of little stories that are cute and fun. I got it.

I got chills. I got a major hit of sciatica right there. Does this tushy pillow help you? Because it's technically for people with my issue, not yours. It doesn't solve the problem, but it's more comfortable. It's just sitting on a comfier chair. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It can't hurt, really. When I get up, I'm a little less in pain. But no, what just happened right there, that wasn't good. It can't happen again. In a sciatica sort of way, it was not good.

Well. Well, if that's all. That's all for me. I think that's all for me, too. If anything else crosses my mind, I could feel free to bring it up at a later date in the show. And I encourage that. I really do. And I probably would. And I probably would. But for now, without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you do need to know.

Before we dive in, kind of a major teenager announcement. So a couple of weeks ago, remember we made it a story. People Magazine, they came out with all the nominations for Sexiest Man Live, Sexiest Podcaster Live, all those things.

And we did our votes live on air. Of course, it's a cornerstone of our year, the sexiest man alive. Well, I think as like a debt, like to pay us back for the fact that they nominated Josh Peck instead of Ben Soffer, People Magazine actually reached out to us and asked if we wanted to reveal the first five categories. And I got to pick the categories. I picked good ones, obviously, like, you know, the ones that we care about. Person into our situation. But I also

feel not even as to make up for like not nominating Ben, but I feel like they know how important the Sexiest Man Alive competition is to us, an important podcast. So it just felt honestly, once again, synergy.

So the winners are going to be announced this week, but we are really excited to exclusively announce the first five winners of this year's polls. And we'll see if the ones that we chose ended up winning, even though we always choose like the losers, like the underdogs. We do, but we still need to make our voices heard, our vote counts, Turdy. Yeah. The spirit of the season. The actual, like the big Sexiest Man Alive, that gets announced November 12th, but we are going to be announcing. Let me just write that down on my calendar. Sexiest musician, sexiest.

Sexiest new dad, sexiest podcast host, and the sexiest supporting partner in sports. Do you remember that one? Yes. And you have to remind me of the nominees. Of course, of course. Okay, so I'm going to go in order. Let me pull them up. Ready? Yes. Give me a minute. Not me being dumb. Okay, ready? I am. I am. First one, sexiest musician. The nominees were Harry Styles, Role Model,

Zach Bryan. That didn't age well. And Shaboosie. Now, I believe I voted for Harry Styles and you voted for Shaboosie. Agreed. Would you like to guess the winner? Harry Styles. The winner is? Harry Styles. Very, very good. Very good. I approve. We're one for one. I see it. Who is the sexiest new dad? Nominees. The nominees were Maluma, Robert Pattinson, Cole Tucker, and Justin Bieber.

I'm hoping for Robert Pattinson. We voted for Robert Pattinson and the winner is... Justin Bieber. Robert Pattinson. We are two for two. Look at us. Look at us. Next up, kind of the most controversial category, at least for us, the sexiest podcast host. Now, the nominees were TJ Holmes of Amy and TJ, Josh Peck of Good Guys, Penn Badgley of Pod Crushed,

And the Kelsey brothers of New Heights. And in a surprise to nobody, the winner is the Kelsey brothers of the New Heights podcast. I'm so glad Matt Trav is the sexiest podcaster. So, so far we are three for three in our predictions. Go us.

This next one, maybe not so much. And go People Magazine. Like, I'm getting, like, election integrity vibes. Yes. Well, they say that over 340,000 people submitted their votes. Yeah. Let me make sure I read that right. Nice. Yep. 340,000 votes placed. Get out the vote. Okay. The sexiest supportive partner in sports. Nominees. Jonathan Owens of Simone Biles. Andre Lebron of Sydney McLaughlin Lebron. Christian McCaffrey of Olivia Culpo.

And Hunter Woodall of Tara Davis. I wouldn't be happy with any of these people winning. Me too. But I think the one that we like knew the least about and definitely didn't vote for, the winner is? Hunter Woodall. Hunter Woodall and Tara Davis. Tara, am I okay? Hunter Woodall and Tara Davis. Okay, like. Happy for them. Yeah, happy for them. But that like, they would have been my fourth choice. Agreed. Doesn't make them less worthy, but they would have been my love. Yeah.

Now, sexiest TikToker? - You can't win them all. - No. Mark Estes of "Kristen Cavallari" fame. Noah Beck of "Dixie D'Amelio" fame. - I love them both. - Brew on the radio of "Anna Exetar" fame. - Brew on the radio? - Connor Wood of "Toast" fame. - Is Brew on the radio that like weatherman type of guy? - No. - But he wears a suit? - No. - He's a suit? - No, he is on the radio.

And his name is Brew? Yeah. Okay. So it's Mark Estes, Noah Beck, Brew on the radio, and Connor Wood. The winner is? Mark Estes. Kristen Cavallari because Mark Estes is people's sexiest TikToker. That feels right in the words of the redheads. That feels right. Thank you to People Magazine for entrusting us with such an important role. I hope we did it justice. Like,

I feel really honored to have been included and happy to be nominated for People's Most Beautiful Woman next year if you're up for it. I do look forward to People's Most Beautiful Podcaster but until now the countdown to Sexiest Man Alive is on. Other channels countdown to Christmas, countdown to Halloween. The Toast countdown to People's Sexiest Man Alive. Now let's dive into the story shall we? We shall. Our first story.

Taylor Swift calls Sabrina Carpenter from New Orleans stage as the singer joins her for a surprise mashup of their songs. So Taylor took Eras to NOLA this weekend. Lots of fun was had, lots of great surprise songs. But one show got a very...

special surprise in the form of Miss Sabrina. She came to the stadium and did surprise songs with Taylor and they mashed up Espresso, Please, Please, Please and Is It Over Now? Is It Over Now? Oh my God. Seriously, like someone is trying to hurt me. By the way, in Swifty lingo, when somebody has like songs that you like really want, that you say, they won.

Okay, they won, but this feels like targeted because not only does everybody know that the 1989 Vault Tracks are some of my, actually are my favorite Vault Tracks and some of my favorite songs, but the Sabrina of it all? What? Plus sending merch now to two of my sisters?

Someone is trying to hurt me. Now, I want to sort of like gas you up and like let you know that this is about you. But I want to let you know, like you're not unique in your take that like the 1989 ball tracks are the best ball tracks and probably some of Taylor's best songs ever made. Like everyone kind of thinks that. Okay, so is there anyone out there who loves the 1989 ball tracks like more than the regular? Yeah. Who loves Sabrina, has been streaming skin from day one and...

whose two sisters got Sabrina merch and she didn't. Anyone else? Well, I don't think the Sabrina merch part like is relevant. It's kind of like all, but it's all at the same time.

No, it's definitely about you. No, I'm not saying it's just about me. Like, I'm sure the other factors came into play. Like, Sabrina was in NOLA. No, I'm so jealous. Because she was coming off of Florida, which is so funny. I was looking at tour dates. I was like, when is she in Orlando? She had literally performed in Orlando the night before. I was so jealous. First of all, Sabrina looked so cute. She's just like...

Like I just love her. And they did a rendition. Now let me say this. They did change the key of Espresso. I think, you know, to fit Taylor's vocal. Like you're coming on her stage, like you're going to sing in her key. And she's already singing Is It Over Now in that key. So it had to like match. And I will say like arrangement wise, it

It wasn't my favorite. It wasn't the Glee Club cast. No, it wasn't. However, lived for every minute of it. Yeah, it wasn't about the execution. Like literally not at all. They could have just like stood there in silence. It actually took so many times for me to like see the video going viral before I actually watched it. Because like I didn't care what it actually was. I'm like Sabrina came out to Erra's and sang her songs. Yeah.

Sabrina has come out to eras before. She, when she was a opener, an opener, she came out for a surprise song. They sang white horse. Um, so this isn't her first time, but like, I, I feel like this is her first time where she really is coming out as an equal, you know, like it's not like Taylor doing a favor to the opener. It's like Sabrina. Yeah. When she came out. I honestly, I think that this is like more than that. Like I think it's Sabrina's having such a moment. Like,

For her to be like the center of, and by the way, like I can't. Yeah, it's like Florence. I can't. Because Phoebe was also an opener, right? Yes. And she came out to sing their collab, not just like because Taylor wanted to geeky with her, you know? Okay, but so did Florence. Yeah, that's why Sabrina's different. Like Taylor sang her songs. Taylor doesn't do that. Yeah, yeah. Now, of course, I can't help but think of Olivia Rodrigo in this moment because I'm toxic, okay? Yes, I'll admit that. Like that's on me. Yeah.

But you're also just a girl. But also, like, Olivia Rodrigo was out and about that same weekend with her Guts Tour Netflix premiere party. Chapel Roan was there. So it was like, it was just like Chapel and Olivia and Taylor and Sabrina. Like, I'm sorry. And did you see Chapel Roan yelling at people again on the red carpet? I did. Actually, we were going to talk about it. Oh, great. We can talk about it as a separate story. You know I love talking about Miss Chap. I know you do. Like, hashtag Daily Dose with Jackson Chap. Okay, back to New Orleans. Like,

Seriously jealous. Like, actually jealous. Yeah. And I think, like, sometimes when we get the surprise songs, people are like, oh, I wish I was there. I'm so jealous. Like, when the songs are good, I'm like, that's great. Like, I really don't have, like, actual FOMO. Only if she ever sang Peace, like, the one time. That's when I was like, I should have flown to Australia, you know? This, like, I should have flown to New Orleans. Like, this I actually feel, like, jealous of not being there. Yeah. Yeah. But how could, like, who would have ever guessed? Yeah.

Who would have ever guessed? I'm like, I don't even know that there's a connection between Sabrina and New Orleans. I just think she happened to have been like, you couldn't have guessed that. Is that where her tour is right now? I don't know, but like you couldn't have guessed. I like don't really care to. No, and I feel like if like Taylor decides she wants you, like she flies you out. It doesn't matter where you are, you know? Yeah, but she was definitely in the region because she's just in Florida. She was in the Southeast. Yeah, the Gulf Coast. Oh, is that what it's called? Because Southeast like didn't sound right. Southeast is, yeah, it's Florida. Yeah.

No, I know. But like when you think about regions, like, yeah, you think of the Northeast. That's obviously like New England vibes. The Southwest. Midwest. Southwest. Pacific Northwest. Like you don't think of Southeast. Like that's not like, I don't know. They just don't call it that. They call it the South. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. The South. But weirdly, like Florida is not part of the South. Well, because it was like not a state. And it's also just not Southern. Do you live beneath the Mason-Dixon? I do, but it doesn't apply to Florida because Florida was not a state when the South was Southen.

Got it. Beneath the Mason-Dixon. Right. But yes, geographically, I do live beneath the Mason-Dixon. Of course I do, because Florida is the southernmost part of the eastern seaboard. What am I thinking of? Not Pemdas. Midel? Mimel. Mimel. Mimel. That little elf in the middle of the country. He's so cute. Yeah, Mimel. He's so cute. And he serves up Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Go look at a map. Have you seen it? Yeah, of course. Mimel's not just a pointless elf in the middle of the country. He is serving Kentucky chicken. Yeah, but he's also like a representative of the Mason-Dixon. He is? Yeah, Mimel, like we learned about Mimel because it's M-I-M-A-L. Minneapolis, like it's a bunch of states. I thought he's representative of the Mississippi. Oh, maybe. Because Mimel runs north to south and I thought Mason-Dixon would be like a...

An east to west. Mimel. Mimel States. Thank you. Chef Mimel. I'm seriously cracking up. Yeah, by the way, the fried chicken has recently been added. Yeah. Mimel OG. And is it the Mississippi? I might have just, that I don't stand by.

Like, okay, Mimel, what did we learn from Mimel? Like that there's just the shape of the row of states looks like. They say this is how you find Kentucky on a map. Oh, and he is serving up Kentucky on a platter of Tennessee. Okay, but. It was just a good way for kids to remember which state is which. No way. I thought Mimel had like a greater significance. No? I'm not seeing the Mississippi here. Let me see. Mimel significance.

I think Mimel's significance is just cuteness. You think? Yeah. It's a map memory trick. That's all it is. You're kidding me. Okay, that sucks. No, it's cute. I thought like it had a deeper meaning. He's like little belly. So me. Of Missouri and Arkansas. What if he's written Mimel on my upper thymal? Only in my Mimel, Mimel, Mimel.

Makes you think. It does make you think. I think we should go on a MIMO tour. So do I. And we should only go to states. Let's just drive from the top. MIMO down. We'll do the MIMO Gizno for the next tour. We'll only go into MIMO states. And it's the center of the country, so anyone can come, make a trip. It's inclusive. We'll meet you in the middle. We'll meet you in the MIMO. Why can't you just meet me in the MIMO?

Like get you a podcast that's going to talk to you about Mimel. Nobody else is having these conversations. No, nobody else is. It's like, where were you when we were learning about Mimel? Correct. Now I'm just seeing like funny Mimel takes. Mimel memes? Mimel memes. She's on Mimel talk. I'm only interested in Mimel memes because somebody said that Tennessee's not actually the platter. It's a big Mimel penis. Yes.

Mimel has a boner. The Mimel community's got jokes. Like, I love that. Mimel lore greater than? No, Jackie, Mimel lore runs deep. It does. Well, hopefully the tectonic plates don't shift anytime soon because we heart Mimel. Conserve Mimel. Save a horse, ride a Mimel.

Are you ready for our next story? I am. A little more. Only if it's about my mom. It's not, but maybe we could find a way to get him in there. Okay. I don't see how, but stranger things have happened.

A little more tour news as Adele bursts into tears as she embraces Celine Dion during her Las Vegas residency. So Adele broke down into tears when she spotted Celine Dion sitting in the audience at her Las Vegas residency show at the Coliseum Theater in Caesars Palace on Saturday. And you know what? Actually, the stadium that Taylor played at was the Caesars as well. Yes, because, you know, a lot of people don't realize you can gamble in New Orleans. Like, there's a Caesars. And like...

And that's the top of the, it's like, who owns Caesars? Like, what is it in service to? Just the hospitality industry? Yeah, it's like the biggest, it's like an MGM. Like, it's like the biggest. Got it. Okay, so she has. She's a billionaire. She was at Caesars Superdome. Celine's at Caesars Palace. Yeah, it's the theater that Adele performs in. As, so funny, when we were, when I went to see Adele, I was going with Brian, who's like Celine Dion's number one fan. And he was like excited to see Adele, but he was obviously feeling like defensive. He was like wishing Celine Dion were there.

Yeah, and he just kept referring to the theater as like the house that Celine Dion built. I'm like, okay, calm down. No, like seriously, Adele paying homage to Celine Dion and him not being there is like Taylor bringing out Sabrina and me not being there. And us not being there. I can sympathize with him. Honestly, for Adele, it's probably the sickest thing that like Celine came. One, because if you're just like a female singer, these days like,

Celine raised you. Like she is your biggest influence and icon. So to see her come to your show, like that's huge. Obviously the significance of the Vegas residency and the same exact theater, like it must be, it's like a passing of the torch. Although they are saying that Celine is gonna return to Vegas, but they've been saying that for a while, but like they are saying that. - Well, I feel like she could, like it just be, it might not be happening, but it doesn't mean it's not gonna happen. You know what I mean? - Also Adele is wrapping it up. Like Adele said, she's like gonna be finishing this soon and. - Yeah.

So it was really nice moment between the icons, betwixt the icons. Yeah, it was. And like one thing about Adele, she's going to cry at her show. And I love that. Especially when she's singing When We Were Young, which is when...

I'm pretty sure that like she was doing her when we were young walk. Yeah. She only leaves the stage for when we were young and she walks around and like sees people that she knows or says hi to fans. So like the only time she would have seen Celine Dion is during the walk. Yeah. And by the way, she's going to cry during that song. And so am I like that song really does something to me. Like that song coupled with like seeing Celine who probably raised her. So harking back to when we were, it's a lot, it's a lot emotionally. That song, like to me, it's on my list with like,

In Case You Don't Live Forever by Ben Platt. There are like a few songs like I Will Always Cry. I Can Handle It. Oh my god no I actually can't handle it and like when I saw it live like I was literally crying and she was so close to me too. Oh if I saw it live I'd probably cry but like I can listen to it on my iPod. Oh I can't listen to it on my iPad without like getting like a little tear especially if I'm on an airplane like it's over for you bitches. I can't listen to anything on an airplane. Also I can't watch that music video that where she's like literally singing live in a studio like it's

It's Parjilish. It's Parjilish. I think it's one of her best songs. I agree. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah.

Little Timothee Chalamet news. Oh my God. A lot of Timothee Chalamet's news because Timothee Chalamet crashed a Timothee Chalamet lookalike contest before the police dispersed the crowd and detained one person. So the internet is in a frenzy over this. It's hysterical. Please just shut down a Timothee Chalamet lookalike concert.

So on Sunday. Contest. Contest. Sorry, I'm in concert mode. Yeah. On Sunday, fans who organized the Timothee Chalamet lookalike competition and promoted it with posters around the city experienced multiple surprises at the event in New York City's Washington Square Park.

First, Timothée Chalamet himself surprised the crowd at the unofficial competition. Video of his arrival was captured by the AP and fans on X, showing him waving, greeting fans, and posing for photos as he pushed his way through the crowd. Then, NYPD officers quickly arrived on the scene to try and disperse the crowd for gathering without a permit. NBC reported a police spokesperson told the outlet that at least one person was detained and issued summonses. A video shared by one attendee to X alleged that the event's organizer was arrested.

So presumably like a Timothee Chalamet was arrested. I like how you can like seriously assault someone in New York and walk away scot-free. Oh, but you're gathering in the park without a permit to talk about Timothee Chalamet? Summons for you. Yeah, like that's why they didn't answer your call. The funny thing about this is like it was like a community event. I don't think it was like going to be largely attended. It was just like kind of for like freaks like...

And Timothy obviously heard about it. He saw an opportunity to do something hilarious and he took it. And honestly, I feel like when we talk about Timothy Chalamet, like I never get the hype. I never get the Lord. Like he's really not for me. Not in a bad way. Like I'm sure he's lovely. It's just not even with the Kylie. I'm like, okay. But like this points to like someone who's actually funny and has a good personality and like can take a joke. And this actually makes me like him. This is so funny. I would never in a million years, like

ever understand or guess why like he did this. Do you know what I mean? Like, it's like a funny thing. Oh, they're dressing up like you like he's so serious.

Right. For him to go and have a silly moment. I feel like maybe we don't know him. Like maybe, I think he does serious acting roles. We don't know him. Maybe he's silly and goofy on the side. I can say firmly we don't know him. So maybe he is actually like personality. If you think about who Kylie, Kylie's really goofy. She is silly. She is. So she needs that sort of silly, goofy energy. Maybe offline, like when he's not, did you see that picture of him making out with Gwyneth Paltrow? Yeah, for their movie. Like that was really crazy to see. Yeah.

So maybe he does serious roles, but in his personal life, like he loves to joke around. Maybe he's a little bit of like a class clown. - Yeah, but to me it's like, you can be silly and joke around, but like the fact that he did this, it kind of like breaks,

My brain a little bit. Like I could have bet a million dollars that he would never, ever, ever do something like this. Yeah. Which I guess is like why it's great that he did. But I'm still, I'm really actually so confused. Because he doesn't also acknowledge like his fans a lot. Like if he ever was going to, like I need him to address Club Chalamet.

No, and I also feel like the only way he would ever go to something like this is if he was just like walking in the park and like saw there was a Timothee Chalamet competition. So he was like, oh, okay. No, but he sought it out. I'll saunter over. Because that's like, how can you ignore it? But the fact that it was pre-planned, premeditated. It just, it definitely gives, at least for me, like Timothee Chalamet, I am seeing him in a new light. I'm seeing him in a light of, I don't know this person.

Not that I thought I did. Not that I would because I don't know him. He's not my friend. But that I have to rethink everything I thought about Timothee Chalamet.

I just want to say this is a very big positive in my Timothee Chalamet column, which otherwise didn't exist before yesterday. Oh, no, I have a big positive, and it's the Kylie stamp of approval. And that's like, I don't need anything else, but thanks. No, and did you see some of the lookalikes? Like, they really looked alike. Yeah, and I'm glad that people have a place to go to talk about this. It's funny, though, that he was immediately recognized. Like, wouldn't your natural inclination be to think, oh, this guy's the winner? Yeah. It's like...

It was a part of a, like a skit for one of those late night shows, but in the UK where Adele went to like an Adele drag queen competition and she went as herself, but they did give her like a prosthetic nose. So it wasn't just plain Adele. And she was like talking to the other contestants and it's like a kind of like really funny famous video. So it reminded me of that, except that he just went as himself. Yeah. And I'm surprised that like there wasn't mass confusion at first.

Right. That people would even notice him because everybody is looking like him and maybe he's just like really, really looks like him. And the lookalikes like were professional grade. Like they really looked alike. Like a lookalike. Like a lookalike. So that was cute and fun. It was. Love to see Timmy getting in on the joke and like not taking himself so seriously. Agreed.

Now, you're going to talk. I'm just going to go off camera and pick my camel toe, but I'm listening. Okay, sounds good. Good luck with that. Our next story is about the aforementioned Chapel Roan confrontation with rude photographer at Olivia Rodrigo's film premiere. So one, Olivia Rodrigo premiered her film, Guts World Tour, which is very exciting for Miss Rodrigo and for anyone who didn't get a chance to see the tour or who did and wants to relive it. Like, that's...

Also, let's not let like the good get lost in the drama. Of course. Of course. Right. Congrats to Miss Olivia. Yeah. And I wonder if like Olivia is mad at all that like the story of her premiere is about this. Definitely not. But at least people are talking about her premiere. Definitely not. Like all press is good press. Yeah. Chapel Roan snapped at a photographer on the red carpet for the Guts World Tour movie premiere in LA on Friday, claiming he had been disrespectful to her at a previous event. So,

So she clocked him so quickly, like she stood there and she recognized that guy immediately stopped everything and walked up to him, finger in his face. Right. While posing on the red carpet, she walked over to the photogs face and said, you were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys. You yelled at me at a Grammy party. The individual was not shown on camera, but he seemed to disagree with her account of events. She said, yes, I remember you were so rude to me. And she said in the middle, her apology for that. Yeah. Yep. You do. You need to apologize to me.

In the middle, you can also see her very scary, like scared looking blonde publicist like coming over and like trying to mitigate, but like not even trying, just like sort of standing there. And I feel as though there are two schools of thought here, right? People either feel like, oh my God, this miserable girl again, being miserable, yelling at people, like not okay. Or the other school of thought is like, you know, it's nice to see finally like a young woman in the industry standing up for herself and, you know, taking control of whatever. I don't know what they're saying, but you know, some people think this is fab and some people are like,

Seriously, dreadful.

Yeah. Now, in a surprise to nobody, I subscribe to the more dreadful school of thought. No matter what happened at the Grammy party, we actually don't know. So what do we see here? Like a famous rich celebrity yelling at like a worker, right? And that's never a good look in my opinion. And if you've ever been near a red carpet, it actually sounds crazy because there's one person taking a picture and all these photographers are like, to your left, to your left. They are. They scream like animals and that's very much like paparazzi culture and...

red carpet culture like they need to get their photo please chapel here chapel here chapel here and so I'm sure what she's describing is a version of that maybe this person just had like a really loud annoying scream um I don't know I just don't think you should yell at people like and so is this different than the person on the Grammys carpet who she was yelling at no sorry VMAs that was the VMAs so yes it is different no this is yeah the incident party so this is not the incident that she's referring to we have no visuals of

Got it. So we can't reference. All we see is a big celeb yelling at a poor little photographer. Yeah. I, for a couple reasons, I'm in the second camp as well. Like this isn't female empowerment to me. Um,

And as far as the publicist trying to like mitigate the Chap damage, her publicist needs to let Chap be Chap. And by the way, she really did not try. She just sort of stood there. I think her publicist does let Chap be Chap. And I think a good publicist for Chap should actually say like, this is Chap being Chap and these are like Chap's big moments. And this is what Chap is about. And her fans like love this about her. And this should actually be like an all press is good press sort of thing for team, for camp Chap. Chap gonna Chap.

chap is gonna chap and all of you are trying to stop her are wasting your time now if you don't like chap chapping then you can be like me who does not participate in any of the chappery I do not engage I do not listen and I'm doing well enjoying my life yeah yeah and then chap chapping does not bother me

No, and I think that it's exactly what you said. People like Chapel Roan, and when they see her doing stuff like this, they can reason with it. It is empowering. She's a young woman taking control of her image in the media or whatever. They...

Think that. And then other people who like don't die for Chapel Roan, like they see, you know, someone getting yelled at and they're like, stop yelling. You know, it's just. And I agree with you. The red carpet can be like a very overwhelming, overstimulating sort of place, especially she struggles with her newfound fame. She's shared a lot about her mental health concerns. Like maybe skip the red carpet.

Yeah, although she does, and I'm sure she gets like invited to a lot of things and she doesn't really go to much given how famous she is. But she does like always show up for Olivia Rodrigo. She opened for Olivia Rodrigo, I think in, I don't know if it was Guts or Sour, but like a lot of her success had to do with like her opening and people really,

learning about her from the Olivia Rodrigo tour. And so she performed with Olivia Rodrigo when she invited her on stage, I think in the LA show at the Guts tour. So she like, I think she feels like almost indebted to Olivia Rodrigo. She always shows up for her. I understand that. So it's more than just like, I want to support my friend. Because if you want to support your friend, you can go to the premiere and also like skip the red carpet because you got to protect you. But if it is someone, it's like,

If you were at any work event, I feel like anyone could relate to this. Like someone who it's a little work, you know, a little quid pro quo. They did this, I'll do this.

that's exactly what and that's how you support like your friends and business associates especially like as a pop star not just like coming to eat popcorn and watch the movie like I'm gonna be here publicly for you bringing my celebrity my name and likeness yeah that's what she's doing my brand of chap sprinkle a little chap on the whole thing just doing a little doing a little chap over here a little chap dance I actually as much as I don't

participate in Chapel Row and I actually love talking about her. Me too. I can't believe like of all the videos and angles we got of this interaction I didn't see one angle of the actual photographer which is kind of nice like protect this photographer's privacy but like were they shook? Were they angry? Were they embarrassed? Like what

It's better if we don't see the photographer because then like the chap stands, they can't be. They're going to dox. They're going to dox this photographer. What do they call themselves? The Ronies? The Rondance.

You're lying. I'm lying. I just made that up. Oh my God, because I love that. I have respect. No, actually, you know what I was thinking the other day? Because Lady Gaga has been talking about a lot of the new music she's releasing. How when we were talking about like Stanhood names, we didn't talk about Lady Gaga's. And oddly enough, Lady Gaga's like makes the least sense. The Little Monsters. Really took on, people really call themselves that. And it caught on more so than I think a lot of other fanhood names for artists who are bigger or smaller than Lady Gaga, you know? Yeah, yeah.

But I think she fosters that sort of environment. Because she is, like, just so dynamic. Also, I think the original one, someone said that this actually was the original fandom and that invented sort of, like, fandoms, is the Beliebers. Oh, yeah. Because even, like, back in the day, like, where the Beatles, Swirly's, like... No, they had Beatlemania. That was, like, what it was called. But they didn't... That wasn't, like, the name of the fans. Someone said the first...

with a name was the Beliebers and it all happened from there. Now, I don't know of a stand-up from before the Beliebers. That predates. But the Beliebers is a party-licious name for a fandom. It's beautiful. I love it.

Because it's like punny. Like I love it. Yeah. Even when we were obsessed with like Jonas Brothers back in the day. Like we didn't have a group name. Yeah. What are the Jonas Brothers names of the fans? Now they might have come up with one. But like when I'm hot, you're cold. Like we did not have a name. No, we needed one. We did. Same with the Hannah Montana fans. Yeah. Now, as you say, they're the Smilers.

Smizers. But then... Oh, no, Smilers. No, that's Tyra Banks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a Smizer. But then we were just a couple girls with a dream. Freaks. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, but Little Monsters came to mind as one that, like... I don't know what the correlation is between Little Monsters and Stephanie of Lady Gaga, but I don't know how, you know, linguistically we connected it. Oh, it was from her... One of her songs. Was it? Well, I just watched the...

episode for, they did a Gaga episode in season one. So it's 2010. And even then they were referring to themselves as little monster. So it really has like, it has legs. - Yeah. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? - Oh my God. Spitting is such sweet sorrow. - It is. It's already been an hour. What the fuck did we talk about? - I don't know. I talked like for a while about my sound complaint noise thing. And like, it was kind of dreadful. Like as I was telling the story, I'm like, you really had to be there because I don't know if anyone's gonna care.

I'm just going to get hate for like abusing police resources, you know? No, I think that that's exactly what 311 is for. Well, I called 911. No, and you said it's not an emergency. Yeah. I think you went about it in the right way. I just know I'm going to get hate like in some way for calling me a narc or something. And like the story wasn't even funny to say, you know? Like I thought it would, I thought it would, when I was,

When I was actively living through it, I'm like, at least I have a good story to like share on the show. So on Monday, I'm like, I don't know, there's something that wasn't funny about the way I told it. Or maybe it just wasn't a funny story. Like you really had to be there. I don't know. And also sometimes like when you go through something dreadful, it's like the only thing worse than going through it is by... Hearing about it secondhand. Extending the life of it by continuing to relive it, right? Yeah. So...

I just I want to acknowledge like I know I'm funnier than that story I'm really sorry for me it's okay you're allowed to tell a story in it and like halfway through the story I wish I didn't even start you know oh you ever have that oh listen I have like a high bar of excellence for this show sorry like I understand when it when you're when we're slinging jokes like Mimel like you obviously have a high bar I completely agree Mimel's BDE my

Mimel is the bar for me. Like if it's not as funny, unique or as nostalgic as Mimel, like I don't want to hear it. Throw it in the bin. Yeah. Well, our fifth and final story is actually a little British news. Speaking of throwing it in the bin.

Real Housewives of London is coming in 2025 from HiU and the Made in Chelsea producer. So major NBCUniversal news, Real Housewives of London is coming to NBCUniversal. The announcement was delivered on Saturday night after Real Housewives hosted executive producer Andy Cohen's panel at the first ever HiU Fan Fest in London. Now don't ask me what HiU is, okay? I can tell you. It's a fan.

It's like Bravo of, I think it's also Canada. In different countries, Europe, I think Canada, Bravo is like, hi you, that's like the channel you watch it on or something. And they're always like,

Coming up on social media, they like do actually really good like TikToks and stuff. So I have heard of it many times and it's clear they had their own like Bravo con of sorts. Got it. And the event featured panels with like Real Housewives US cast members, Lisa Barlow, Sutton Strack, Foster, Jessel, Ashley Darby. We're all there. And then they announced that Real Housewives of London is coming with a production aid for Q1 2025. So this is major for a number of reasons. Now for me, it's

It's the ladies of London lore of it all. Of course. Like, ladies of London walked so Real Housewives of London could run. I will 100% give this a shot because I actually just like, like, everything that's set in London. I even watch Selling London, which I wouldn't recommend. And I hope that they choose maybe one or two ladies from Ladies of London who are perfect, perfect for reality TV, like Juliette.

yeah except the thing about ladies of london was because it wasn't a real housewives franchise i feel like they really wanted to like make it distinct from what would have been a real housewives of london and they focused a lot on like aristocracy and things like that whereas like i actually think like the cool socialite women of london like they don't really fuck like that i feel like a lot of them are like influencers like i think that i do

think it's like still embedded I think like like the history and like aristocracy is like embedded a little bit in the into society with getting people who were like even remotely connected like Earl of Sandwich they had like a really nice blend which I thought was what made it so great and I actually think they should try and replicate for Real Housewives of London where it's like you know Julie was or sorry both actually Juliet and Julie are actually both American but Julie married Earl of Sandwich and so they go to the estate and like they have that and she's like running around

She was really the only one who added like a real connection to royalty on that show. There was a lot of connections. Oh, the Danish girl. She was like actually a Danish princess. Caroline Stanberry comes from an aristocratic family. Mm-hmm.

Of course, Caprice. She was linked with Prince. What's the one? Don't. Who's the one? Andrew, right? Andrew. Yeah, yeah. The one that. Don't bring back Ladies of London. Don't bring on Real Housewives of London if you're not going to include Caprice. Okay. I actually would. If you were doing Real Housewives of London, like I wouldn't change a hair on its head of Caprice.

The cast. From Ladies of London. Then we had Juliette, who was an American transplant, who was an influencer. Marissa Hermer. Marissa Hermer. And she was super modern. Annabelle, the late Annabelle. Yes, she passed. She's dead, right? But she was Alexander McQueen's muse, best friend of Kate Walsh. Really...

- Yeah, no, you're right. They were at least like, I feel like sometimes they'll go to a city and they'll get people who are seriously like not wealthy, not connected, not famous, not anything. I'm like, why are we watching this band of yellow belly losers? Like for real.

And with Ladies of London, every single person brought something to the table, whether it was fashion, whether it was money, whether it was royalty. Like they really did a great job of casting. Maybe like the stigma in London is different because I know a lot of times when they go to a town and they want to do a real house, I was like the actual women who you would want, the really famous, well-connected husbands who are billionaires, they want nothing to do with these types of shows. You think? Yes. Yes.

Maybe there's not like a stigma like that. - Maybe there's not, but I think most people like really like most people just at that level want privacy and like have negative associations with reality TV. However, I think a lot of maybe aristocratic like old money families where the money sort of drying up, might see this

as an opportunity, like, especially if you live on like a, or you own a country estate, that's like, you need to millions of dollars a year, some money. This is the perfect thing to pair it with because like that has done well for people in the past. Just like, I mean, it's a little different, but the Downton Abbey estate like is now could thrive for a hundred more years. It's self-sufficient. Yeah. So yeah.

I think there's endless potential for this show and it would be nice to get one or two of the ladies from Ladies of London but like you don't have to but that was just like the work is done for you I gave you a perfect routine.

It's really crazy that there hasn't been a Real Housewives of London. And it's not like there hasn't been international franchises. We have Dubai. We have Cheshire. There are, it's said in here, how many internet, this will be the 30th international iteration of Housewives. And yeah, Real Housewives of Cheshire, which focused on the lives of women in the English country, aired for 17 seasons so far. I think I need to watch that. But the thing is,

By the way, I have heard, I think I watched a couple episodes when it first came out. I've heard it's the craziest, funniest thing. But there is like a weird delineation when it comes to international franchises that play in America. So you said there's 30. I only know of Dubai that plays in the States on Bravo proper. Even Cheshire, which I'm familiar with, doesn't play on Bravo here in America. Right. So I am hoping that Ladies of London will play. Lady Peacock.

And yes, maybe Peacock to NBC. But then you also have to think about like language because there's a lot of other international iterations. But if they're like if the language barrier is not conducive, so maybe that's why they're not played here. I'm hoping that Ladies of London, I don't have to watch it like on a VPN and I can just enjoy with everyone. This is really fabulous. Ladies of London, Real Housewives of London. Literally same thing. Okay, so for the person who's targeting me with Sabrina and Taylor is also looking out for me by giving me this.

We've got a big week. Right. Only two more toasts till Toastoween. And what's so crazy is by the end of this week, it will be November.
