Good morning, millennials. And welcome back to the Toast Happy Friday, or should I say Friday? Excuse.

Thanksgiving Friday for a number of reasons. Let's listen. Shall I count the ways? One, it's actually Friday, which is amazing. We're not like living in delusion land. Which is always a yay. Always. Like when it's a Friday. I don't care like if it's a Friday and I'm living, you know, the worst life. It's Friday. Yeah. You're one step closer to your dreams. Two, last night we officially ended our mini residency at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts Center. We had our fourth and final show. Is that correct? Fourth and final. And it was incredible. It was incredible.

Had the time of my life. Gonna miss it. They're literally like our family over there. Yeah, it's definitely our second home. We live eight shows for four. And, you know, the other venues, not to pit venue against one another, but they kind of need to step their pussies up. Like we felt incredibly warmed and welcomed. Well taken care of. Well taken care of. They wrote us like the sweetest note ever.

On our last show day, like just kind of obsessed, kind of a love letter to the two and mostly to the swirlies who showed up. They were like, you have the most incredible community. It was actually about you guys. Yeah. You left a really great, an indelible mark mark on the theater. And while it is the end of one chapter, um,

Another door is a closing of one door. A window opens. We've kind of been teasing secret project. We were really excited on our Instagram today. We announced that we've actually added one more show to this sort of summer series we're doing, if you will. Swirly swirly summer. And we wanted to hit up, you know, a favorite place of ours, a summer destination for a lot of the swirlies and yeah,

You know, we've been very New York, Long Island focused. We're headed down to the Jersey Shore area. We're heading DTS, as the kids say. So our Philly girls, our Jersey girls, our Jersey Shore summer swirlies. We are going to be in Atlantic City, August 17th at the Borgata Casino. Kind of a place where Jax and I became the women that we are. We have spent many a turnt weekend at the Borgata Casino. Yeah. I feel like people don't know because it's not while we were doing this show. Pre-toast.

BT before toast. We were Atlantic City Swirlies. We went to Atlantic City probably minimum twice a year, once in the summer at least and once in the winter to get our gambling fix in. Even right after we did Taylor Swift concert when we went to

For my 21st birthday, we went to the 1989 World Tour in Jersey. From there, we went to Atlantic City because like we would jump at any chance to go to Atlantic City. We've always stayed at the Borgata. So to be playing the Borgata Casino and Resort is so full circle, such an honor. I'm so excited to meet the Jersey Swirlies. It's...

literally the place that made us the women we are today right so we were also looking for promotional assets from our time down the shore and we just but it's not the shore we need to stop saying that but it's close to the shore so i feel like a lot of people summer at the shore and it's nearby it's literally so close to the shore the last time we went to atlantic city shack was djing yep at the borgata pool i think yep and i was with my friends down the shore because rebecca summer's there and

it was a 10 minute cab ride to get like it's down the shore. No, no. And it's a summer destination and all the girlies who are swirling their summers in Jersey will be able to attend. So it's August 17th. That's a Saturday night. And it is, um, here's like the details for tickets. So we are announcing today, the patron members will get a presale. It's not too late to become a patron member. So if you're really worried, it might sell out, become a patron member. That's Monday, like in three days, Monday, 10 a.m. Eastern time, there will be a code. It'll be on the patron for members only. Um,

Then Tuesday, the venue has their own presale. Wednesday at 10 a.m., everybody else, general public on sale. I don't know how many tickets will be left, meet and greet or regular tickets. So just be mindful of the times. 10 a.m. Eastern on Monday for Patreon members, 10 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday for everybody else.

usual make haste I don't think we're setting aside a hundred tickets for our friends and family so usually yeah we have for every show that we've done this summer like eventually 50 tickets open up because we've it's true acquiesced and we've sort of surrendered the idea that we don't have a hundred friends and family coming to every single show so I don't think that we even allocated that for this one so I don't know how many like late-term tickets will open I

Yeah. So just like Jackie said, make haste. I'm so excited. I was feeling a little sad that last night, even though we still have the two Beacon shows next week, which, you know, that's really our home away from home. The little shows we've been doing here in West Hampton have been so nice. I think a lot of the Swirlys who have like traveled in, this is their first time in the Hamptons. So they're getting to experience it. And Swirly is just sort of kicking it off. I have had the best time. It's been so much fun. Yeah. And I'm so glad we're extending it. And the show is a real show. Yeah. Yeah.

And the show is in a great place. And the show is different every show because we are topical swirlies and we're not actresses. And it would behoove us to become actresses. Yeah, but it's really fun. Like you really never know what's going to happen at a Gizmo show. But I agree. Like we've gotten into a place where it's something I'm really proud of. Like every time we get off stage, like I know we gave people their money's worth. It's so swirly. It's a combination of everything you probably love if you love the toast. And it's just fun. And there's music. And we dance. And we sing. And we laugh so fucking hard. Yeah.

And it's been amazing. I can't wait to keep adding them. And we see your comments, you know, come here, come here. We are working. We are just, you know. We will slowly.

Slowly make our way. You know, but I think by the time we're 80, the Gizno... Will have hit all 50 states. I think that's a really good goal. So down. Like, there's no rush for Gizno. No, no. Like, it's kind of evergreen. And the title is evergreen. Like, it could be a girly swirly night out forever. I wish for night outs like this forever. Elder girly swirly. E-Gizno. Like, we could seriously...

Yeah. The iterations are boundless. They are endless. So that was an exciting announcement. We have a great show today. We have stories. Oh, we've Queenie and Weenie of the week. Oh my God. Okay. And we just have like, you know, good shit. Girlies swirling, you know, gossiping today is the first day of the rest of my life because the Olympics officially begin this evening. The opening ceremonies are tonight.

And I can't wait. I can't wait. We have some OC news. So we'll be talking about the Olympics. We actually have a couple. We have some OC. Opening ceremony. Yeah. Industry insiders. Oh, okay. So like Orange County out. OC.

Olympic ceremonies in. Got it. We have some OOC. Fine. Olympic openings. Double O.C. Double O.C. Love that news. Other celebs have like flocked to Paris. I don't like I feel like, yeah, maybe it feels familiar that it doesn't. I don't ever remember seeing like a red carpet for the Olympics, but I saw like Zendaya and Charlize Theron on like a red carpet. Oh, that's interesting. I know. I

I guess wherever the Olympics are held, like make it your own. Yeah. There are certain destinations that like make it more of a celeb hotspot like Paris. I don't know if all the celebs were like, you know, rushing to Sochi or China. But yeah, Paris, I feel like half of them are already there, you know, for work tings. Or they were down the Paris shore. Yeah, they were at the south of France. Do the Parisians also say down the shore when they're talking about Saint-Germain? Yeah, like when you're in the south of France at like Hotel du Cap, you know, that's kind of like the Borgata hotel.

- Of France. - South of France, yeah. - I see no difference. - I guess that we'll have to do our next show there. - At Hotel Du Cap. - If they'll have us. - I think they would. - I think they would too. - They're super swirly. - That was a brazilian. - Who isn't? And who would ever like want to even say, admit that they're not swirly? - Miserable folk. - Miserable folk, the elk of misery.

The Elk of Misery. I love that. It's beautiful. Just throwing it out there for title options if nothing better, you know, comes up naturally. If nothing better, Sprouts. How did we get here? Oh, we've got Olympic stories. Oh, the Olympic Olympic ceremonies tonight. Like I'm planning my whole day around it. I'm so excited. I already forgot, but I'm back on the horn. And will it be airing at 8 p.m.? 7.30. Great, because I saw someone being like, it's going to be at 1 a.m. U.S. time. Like, sorry, the time difference between France and...

the U S it's not my problem. Like NBC, figure it out. NBC, make it digestible. And I actually think they do a good job of that. Like someone was trying to tell me about the time difference affecting like, well, not my problem. No, I think Peacock does a really good job of getting you the primetime moments at a primetime. Yeah. And somehow like it's not spoiled. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, like, yes, Simone Biles won gold, but it hasn't aired yet. But like most of the time you don't know. Someone was trying to make me feel like if we wanted to watch the opening ceremony, we had to be up at like 1am. Well,

Well, I think if anything major, major happens. It would be on like X beforehand. Yeah. But I saw like a TikTok ad today for the opening ceremonies and it said 730 on Peacock. Great. That's where my ass will be looking for me at 730. I'm parked. I'm parked on the couch. Oh, so we have to have an early dinner. No. Yeah. Like my whole life begins today. I've been looking forward to swirly summer, obviously, but.

the biggest part of swirly summer that I've been looking forward to is the Olympics. I need to like get my red, white and blue actually literally brought a red, white and blue dress like for this occasion. Yeah. And it was 4th of July. We have 4th of July wears. Yeah. But I brought it for the Olympics. So many cute stuff for the boys, like all this USA stuff. They,

Or basically Olympians. Yeah. I'm an Olympic podcaster. We should get some of the official collab clothes, like skims and J.Crew. Well, they do always like the Ralph Lauren polo vibe. That's like never really my vibe. Do they do skims again this year? Yeah. Okay, I'll check that out. But I think she just like made the undies. Yeah, right, right. Last year I got the, well, not last year, the last Olympics I got the pajamas. I don't know. I gotta check that out. Okay, well...

We have a lot to do on this Friday, not all just celebrating the nature. Our great nation. And the nature of the day. And the nature of the day. So I guess without further ado, you never know, we could always pop back in, but without further ado, it is time for the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And the Fast

stories that you need to know are brought to you by Splenda Stevia. You know the little yellow packets of sweetener and they have created something brand new over at Splenda and it's Splenda Stevia. Just so you know, it is made, of course, by Splenda brand, but it doesn't have any of the original Splenda in it. Splenda Stevia is an all new plant based sweetener that uses U.S. grown Stevia.

And unlike other Stevia brands, Stevia, Splenda, uses U.S. grown Stevia that they grow on their own farm in Florida. Having a U.S. farm also means lower carbon emissions and greater sustainable practices. So Splenda Stevia is available in packets, pouches, and liquid sweeteners. Splenda Stevia is a zero calorie sweetener and it is perfect to use anywhere that you use sugar. I've kind of been on

kind of been on this like journey with sugar. I'm such a Splenda loyal. There are certain brands like for me, they're always just going to work for me. Splenda is one of them. And Jackie was recently telling me, you know, she switched to Stevia, all the benefits, yada, yada. And you know me, I'm like, okay, sure. But then Splenda came out with Splenda Stevia and I was like, okay, this is something I can actually adapt into my everyday life. Cause you know, I don't change. Change is not like I'm going to the sugar aisle. I'm going yellow. I can still go yellow and enjoy the benefits of Stevia. Thanks to Splenda Stevia. So visit

Thank you, Turt. An absolute pleasure. Our first story, happy birthday to J-Lo. So Jennifer Lopez channeled Queen Charlotte in a Victorian style gown for a Bridgerton themed birthday party.

Okay. JLo. Yeah, it's a lot. Had a Bridgerton themed birthday party. It was her 55th birthday party in the Hamptons. Oh, that was a detail that I did not know until now that this was in the Hamptons. She's been in the Hamptons all summer. I didn't realize that. Yeah, she was actually at. You know where? Not to blow up her spot. I think she's in South Hampton and because she was spotted in South Hampton town a bunch and she was at a store or a restaurant. I saw a picture like the day after we were once. No way. Yeah. Oh, wow.

Oh, wow. Not to make it about us. No, of course not. We literally never dream of doing such a thing. But anyways, she had a Bridgerton-themed birthday party for her 55th birthday party. A couple things to note here. Ben Affleck was not in attendance. These days, not shocking. After seeing the photos of this party, what place does he have there? Seriously, he wouldn't have dressed in theme. Let's really start at the top. So this is J.Lo. She's obviously in a unique place in her life right now. And not in her life, more so her career. Actually, also her life, because she's allegedly going through a divorce. And I can't...

can't really explain why but I had sort of like a visceral reaction to seeing like this grown-ass woman having like the biggest birthday party about this like fantasy show where she's like having outfit changes yeah this young adult like kind of sexy show like she's doing outfit changes she's wearing like these crazy extravagant gowns and I was just like oh it's giving big dope I

But I'm at a place right now where like when the more people knock JLo, like the more I want to defend her. Yeah. The party is hard for me. I know. Because like. It's giving Disney adult. That's what I'll say. And I hate to clown on other people's choices. But, you know, here I am doing it.

And it's okay. Cause like, it's, you know, a very expensive birthday party. She's wearing a dress that was crafted by 40 artisans over 3,500 hours. It's just crazy. I don't, I can't explain why. Bridgerton is like super popular. Everyone loves it. I just feel like, you know,

you know, call me ageist, if you will. I feel like you reach a certain point in your life where you don't like, this is not an option. You age out of this. Yeah. No, I, I agree with that. However, when I first heard that Ben wasn't there, I was like, Oh, that's a major red flag. Much like the selling of the house. Like he doesn't go to her. It was her 55th birthday. Yeah. But now seeing the pictures, like we're,

maybe she could only have this party because they're not together. He would never have gone for it. How could he arrive at this party? He's not wearing a wig and tails. No, and he's kind of known for his phobosin upon him. Like he's bringing his Dunkin' Donuts and his cigarette. And his like smug, mean mugging face. And he would have ruined the party even if they were the happiest couple.

It's so true. Like every picture you just see this like dark cloud. He's literally that character from inside out gloom who play Phyllis from the office, like everywhere she goes, like she just brings this sort of like sadness and like this storm, like an actual storm cloud. I agree. I couldn't see him at this party. Um, and maybe that's why she had the party that she did. Maybe it's like, you know, I'm so sick of my husband who's so negative. Like he would have told me not to do this. And you know what? Maybe this party is like a manifestation of what she wants. Maybe it was like,

Maybe we shouldn't clown on it. I don't know. Maybe it was a big fight of theirs. Maybe it was the straw that broke the camel's back when she said she wanted a Bridgerton-themed birthday. And to her, this is independence and this is freedom. Yeah. I can't explain exactly why because Bridgerton is like porn. It's not for kids. It's not. But I don't know why it gives me the same vibes as adults who go to Disneyland and then move to Orlando to be closer to it. I can't explain. No, it's not for kids. But there's a group in between kids and...

and grown but it's like a very i'm saying it's like a very grown show they have like you know fellatio in the show yeah canalingus if you will and she can watch a show and any grown person like can watch the show but this is just a lot for a birthday party and it's a little silly it's a little it's a little silly with like the outfit changes and the splendid evening like yeah but it's interesting um i support i support you know women just doing whatever they want you know yeah like could it be me never in a

Do I support it? Also no, but I'll allow it. So you don't want it for next year? I should just scrap this. Oh yeah. Did you work on like a mood board for my surprise party that you were going to make a Bridgerton theme? Yeah, no. I'm also, I'm off Bridgerton. Like I, I thought the first season was like fabulous. And ever since then, it's just like, it's not doing it for me. I'm off Bridgerton. I don't know if they'll capture Bridgerton.

what they captured in that first season ever again. Yeah. But they have a crazy fandom, like really, really from the books, from social media, from Netflix. They have like a global, they have an insane audience. But I also like have to give credit. I have to thank Bridgerton like for my life because I,

So Bridgerton was the thing for me that got me into like historical fiction. Like because of Bridgerton, I watched Downton Abbey. Did you ever read the Bridgerton books? No. But when I watched the show, I wasn't really so into like royal history, like all of this until Bridgerton. And I really liked the first season. I was like, I want more of that. And I want the real story. Right. And then I watched Downton Abbey after that. I watched Victoria. Yeah.

Bridgerton was the thing that like sent me down. And I don't even want to call it like a rabbit hole because I live here. Like I am a rabbit. It was kind of like your moving van. Yeah. So I want to thank Bridgerton for like,

an interest in me that I didn't realize that that was the timeline that I had. Yeah. Good for you. Fun fact about me. Extremely fun. I'm having a blast. I will only clown on Bridgerton like to a degree. And we can't talk about Bridgerton without talking about something else about Bridgerton. Like every collab that they do, I need to buy it all. Like I was at Williams Sonoma. They have a Bridgerton collab. Like it's made for me. Everything about Love Shack Fancy collab. I feel like the brands are really similar. Yes. And also I was shopping at, I

at neiman's or one of the department stores and they had like a bridget some makeup company was having a bridgerton like lipstick or whatever and they set out all this furniture that was bridgerton style and i was looking i was like can i get the vanity and the mirror and i need the picture frame and they're like this stuff is not for sale miss yeah no that's really cute um i also like i am physically incapable of talking about bridgerton without talking about kind of one of the

almost a cautionary tale, if you will, Regé-Jean. Where in the world is Regé from Bridgerton? You know, he couldn't return to this massive, massive show because he was so inundated with other projects. Never saw him in anything ever again. And there was a lot of speculation that he was going to be Bond. And that was the only way I was like, okay, you leaving this massive show that like made you who you are, you're going to be Bond? I'll allow it. Lo and behold, he never became Bond. Did they ever say who Bond is? Oh yeah. The guy with the older wife. Yes. Aaron. Aaron.

Yes. Aaron. Aaron. So just a reminder, Regé-Jean-Paul never booked that big thing that he was apparently so busy. Also, the other stars of Bridgerton, some of them are still very much in the show, busy schedules.

Phoebe Denevur. What does she get into? I know she's like a girly about town, but as far as work. She is. I don't know. I feel like Bridgerton very much exists in a vacuum. Similar to that. The Game of Thrones. Exactly. Taking the words right out of my mouth. Thank you. Where you become so massively famous on this show, but it just kind of exists in its own universe and it's very, very tough. To break out. To break out. And when you think about the biggest breakout stars now, now it's years since Game of Thrones ended. When we think about the biggest breakout stars, it wasn't even.

in the most famous people. I would say that Jason Momoa is the most famous person

from that show. He was seriously in a handful of episodes in the first season and that's it. Like most people don't even associate him with it. Then I would say Sophie Turner and I would say she's the only one. There was a moment where we were like, okay, Emilia Clarke is going to breach the, she's going to go over the bridge. She's going to leave Westeros and go over the Bridgerton and leave Westeros and actually do, and she had a couple of rom-coms they almost hit, like they were almost there. It's like kind of a weird, it's like a little bit of a curse. I think sometimes it happens.

Like a show like Riverdale. Some people have made it out though. Not as severe as Game of Thrones. Some people, a bunch of people have made it out of Riverdale, but sometimes they just like live in Riverdale. Yeah. Yeah. Also Phoebe Denver wasn't younger, but that was before. That was while she was hitting in Bridgerton. I was thinking, I've seen her in something else. I know that I have. And then there's also this movie called Snack.

which I feel like is something that I'm supposed to watch because of the name. - It's an autobiography of Margot? - Right, right. It has like so, every time I look up, we do this all the time and I always see it there and I'm like, I need to watch that 'cause I'm interested in all the actors. - But the point you were making does ring true. It's like she also,

Not in such a drastic way. I think Ray J. John is much, much more drastic, but she's, she's just like fashiony and a socialite. So she's famous and in the news a lot. She also just got engaged. Like she is out and about, but in terms of popular work. Yeah. Pretty much starts and ends with Bridgerton. Yeah. Yeah.

Bridgerton. So it is like a blessing and a curse. But I feel like all the girls from that show, and I forget her name, who was the star in the second season, like blew up. She's like one of the faces of Louis Vuitton. She's very fashion. Yes. They all end up being like, and maybe it's because they're all European. They're not American, but they all end up being like high fashion Euro, like Milan Fashion Week girlies. Yeah. Front row. Also fun, but does it pay the bills? No, and it's not acting. Yeah. It's different. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story? Some Olympic news. Some rumors are swirling. Are we like breezing through the stories? I don't think so. What number is it? Two. Oh my God. Not me being dramatic. Kind of the opposite. Yeah.

Rumors are swirling that Taylor Swift is going to the Paris 2024 Olympics. And furthermore, rumors are swirling that she will be performing in the opening ceremony. Yes. Okay. So that was actually going to be my queen of the week. I heard this rumor. I didn't realize I could have made it to the press. I heard it from like a trusted source yesterday. Well, this rumor in the press is just that she will be attending, which isn't farfetched. She's in Europe. This is like the most global event of the year. Yeah. She doesn't go to much, like even...

things you think she would go to so if she does go it's surprising but not terribly what I had heard was that um tailored so it's pretty much confirmed Celine Dion is the performer and you know she's going to be representing France even though she's French Canadian whatever that's not going to do it and nobody in the comments like explain that to me properly like I still don't understand what the connection is but I'll allow it because it's Celine and

And I had heard that at the end of her performance, I guess it's like sort of the next Olympics is going to be in LA. So America's hosting next. And so while this French singer is singing, she's sort of going to pass the baton on at the end of her performance to an American singer to sort of symbol the next Olympics, pass the baton. And then that person is Taylor Swift. That's what I heard. It might be true. It might not be. That's just sort of the nature of gossip. Right. Well, no, in a matter of hours, whether or not it was true to me, it makes a lot of sense. That's why I feel like it's worth mentioning because it's,

American star. Yeah. They do pass the baton to a symbol of the next country. We love symbolism. So why not tailored? And she's there. Her tour allows for it right now. She's obviously all warmed up for the tour. There have just been a lot of rumors about this performance. Also that Lady Gaga will be performing with Celine Dion to sing La Vie en Rose. Did we make that up? No, no. We said that like, what will Celine sing? And we're like, oh, La Vie en Rose. Yeah, we were like, what's a French song? La Vie en Rose. Who does that remind us of? Lady Gaga. There are rumors that she's going to be there. Then,

like the official rumor came out that they were performing that song together. That one makes less sense to me because why would they bring on an American singer to sing a French song? Like this isn't about America. It's about the world. The baton could be going to Lady Gaga. It was right in front of us the whole time. That makes so much more sense.

also good no wait also really really good i'm just like kind of feel stupid like obviously that's what's happening yeah and maybe taylor will be there to watch because you know we know she like knows simone and there's like the taylor connection simone is doing her floor routine to one of taylor's songs so i'm sure like a lot of people are doing something to taylor's songs like everybody's getting ready to taylor songs but um maybe yeah maybe she's just there as a purveyor and as a fan of the sport yeah

Do we think any of the Royals are going to be there? It's Paris. For a second, I thought it was London. But still, we know Kate loves tennis. Tennis is huge at the Olympics. I don't think so. OK. Because also, I was just watching Olympics opening ceremonies of yore. And remember the London one where James Bond goes and gets the queen and she fake shot out of a parachute?

helicopter and landed in the stadium in her seat. And then she was really in the stadium. And then didn't they have like fake, her and Bond had like fake tea or something? I think that that was for the Platinum Jubilee. Paddington. She's done a lot of, yeah, of cameos. Of vignettes. Yeah. That was cute. Her and Paddington was the cutest. I'm like having a hard time thinking of famous French people.

Because like you, obviously when you host opening ceremonies, like you tap into your best and brightest resources in London, of course they're going to go bond. That's what they're known for. And then the Royals Paddington genius, right?

is famous in French? Celine Dion, literally. Maybe that's why they had to go French-Canadian. Deadass. Yeah, because I'm getting like Marie Antoinette. She is famous. Alfred Dreyfus. Charles de Gaulle. You have to throw modern in there. Charles de Gaulle is going to pass the baton. Charles de Gaulle will pass it to Claude Debussy. Literally. Famous current French. Gerard Depardieu, Brigitte Bardot, Coco Chanel.

- Alive, hold on, gotta add alive. - Here are the 20 most famous, oh no, not history. - Yeah, you gotta add alive. - They kind of have nothing. - Okay, Catherine Deneuve, Brigitte Bardot. - Marion Cotillard, I feel like they're always talking about her, right? - Coco Chanel is alive? No, born in 1883, okay, thanks. - That would be crazy. - Thanks, useless. I think all's to say,

They don't have much by way of... They don't have a global footprint. Yeah. In the fame game. In Hollywood. What about Marianne Cotillard? Did you just say her? Not 30 seconds ago. So her. Yeah, that's what I just said. Yeah. Marianne Cotillard. I think she'll be like the symbol of the... Exciting. Of the games. That's fine. Yeah. No, I feel like we're just missing something. Maybe not even like singers, actors, like something. Yeah.

Yeah. Even like a tennis player. Well, I guess he would be playing tennis. It's like Nadal is Spanish. Djokovic is Serbian. Federer. I feel like he's also Spanish. Roger could be Swiss. Shit. No, they kind of have nothing to show for it. Imagine how they feel. Like their committee, they're like... Yikes. Putting out the call. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe the ghost of Edith Piaf comes. The hologram. Maybe they, not to be rude, shouldn't host. Like they obviously are ill-equipped. No, let me reserve judgment after I see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they do have a lot of culture in France that they can show, you know, little mustaches and red lipstick and like cigarettes. Yeah. And like little afternoon naps after everybody has a little bit of wine. Like you go show up at the opening ceremonies, everybody's just like drunk and asleep. So French. A slumber party. Love that. Yeah.

But we will reserve judgment until, it's just hours away. So we can hold on until then. And how exciting is that? It's mere hours away. It's mere hours away. However, the Olympians are already going viral. Alona Mar, my queen. Alona Mar is an Olympian joking about finding her match at the Olympic Village. She said, I'm here to find love. So if you have not been following Alona Mar since the last Olympics, you are missing out. She does reels. Yeah. She's a rugby player, but she mostly does TikTok. That's like where she blew up.

She is so famous because of TikTok. And she is somebody who could have been voted to hold. She's a famous Olympian. Yes, exactly. And so she's already making content about the Olympics. And she's doing like Love Island themed content about how she is excited to get into the Olympic Village to meet her match.

No, she said, I cannot wait to get into the Olympic Village. It's going to be a crazy summer. Honestly, I'll probably be the fittest bird in there. So she's using audio from Love Island. She said it's called the Olympic Village. This isn't Love Island. A woman interrupted from behind the camera. She said, yeah, I guess if we want to say that, but I still want to try to couple up early on.

It's the early days, but at the end of the day, I'm there to find love. That's classic Love Island chat. I imagine the end of the day. I imagine Ilona Mars back hurts from like not only being a rugby player, which is like the craziest sport, but also from putting like all the social media from the last two Olympics on her back. And she's already off to a great start. We haven't even started the Olympics yet and she's going viral. And I actually saw a TikTok today. Coco Goff did like a fly with me to the Olympics.

I don't know why I thought like all the Olympians would be on like a plane together kind of like an NBA team travels but she was like flying Delta one like on a regular plane like with other people I know I was like okay that's interesting because she's in like a solo sport but I think teams fly together oh that's interesting maybe like the swim I made that up but it feels right no because like it's a solo sport like so is gymnastics but like you know they're a team

They do individuals, but they are the women's team. Oh, do you think there's not a, do you think it's not like that for tennis? Maybe there's like a woman's team, everybody in their own matches. No, that makes sense. Right. Yeah. Whatever. But she was in showing like her room and stuff. And I seriously, cause we were just talking about LeBron James. Like there is no,

fucking way LeBron James is sleeping in that bed no there's no way no he's staying at the Ritz 100% no but like Coco Gauff is literally the most faint I don't think you have a choice I think you have to stay there and if Coco Gauff is staying there LeBron James is staying there there's the bed is made out of cardboard it is a twin size it's smaller than what you slept in in college there is no way there's the basketball players are sleeping in that for real

We need clarity. I need LeBron James to get on TikTok and start doing a day in his life or reels. I don't discriminate. Yeah, but I feel like he's definitely getting special privileges and that would make people mad. But the thing about the Olympics is like nobody gets, and it's not our country. I know, but it's also physics. It's inhumane. It's just like,

he is too long for this bed. Like he would have to sleep like a, but it's same for the swimmers too. And, but the swimmers aren't as famous. Like to me, the idea that LeBron James is sleeping in that bed, like it's not happening, but the swimmers are like Simone Biles sleeping in the same size bed as LeBron James. Like,

It's just downright wrong. It was just like us talking about how at fat camp, like the youngest girls got the same amount of calories as the oldest boys. Yes. It's very similar to that. It didn't make a lot of sense. Let me see if LeBron James has posted anything on social media that would indicate like his quarters, you know? Okay. I feel like he doesn't use social media like that. No, I know. Like everything is taken on a real camera, not on an iPhone. He doesn't have like active stories. He has no stories right now. And all of his, it's all like... He's not like talk to camera selfie style. Who else is on this team? I didn't even think about that. That is...

Devin Booker. Victor Webinyama's on the team. Classic. The one who slapped Britney. Stop. Devin Booker. Okay. That guy looks so familiar. Oh, Steph Curry. That's why. Not me saying that guy looks familiar. Okay, like not LeBron, not tagging anyone. Like, please help. Oh, USA Basketball. Here. Okay. Here we go. Women's. I'm sorry to these people. I don't know. Oh, Britney Greiner. LeBron. Oh, Kevin Durant. I know him. Is Britney Greiner sleeping in the bed? She probably is, and it's wrong. It poses the same issue. I think that's Joelle Embiid.

I'm like so sporty. I know him. Oh, give me a second. Um, Dwight Howard. And that I think is all the faces that I know. God forbid. They just tag people. My God. That's like, that's not cool. It's not cool. Not even for us, but like for the people, like help them, you know, get their shine. Okay. Now they have like, you know, everybody's pictures, but they still like put their names, please. Let me see. Like, can I get a name? But I know that's Kevin Durant, but okay. Happy for him.

All's to say, follow Ilona Marr. I'm excited for Olympic Village content. I'm excited for the stories. And I do hope she finds love. No, she's going to keep us abreast. Like, if you really want to know, because the Olympics is a story always. Like, it's always interesting. The Olympic Village is, like, the most interesting part. And if you want, like, the true tea...

Ilona Mars like where you go sweet and also I think she's introducing the world to the sport of female rugby which a lot of people don't think about in America we don't think about rugby period no and if we are like let's be real we're not thinking about female rugby and she's sort of changing the narrative on that I love that yeah because you know it's hard to stand out on a team sport like that yeah and she really made an opportunity for herself she's the most famous rugby player and she's one of the most famous Olympians on social media it's very smart I think she's a toaster

It's giving toast to energy, but it's very smart. Of course, she's having fun. And this is a natural extension of Ilona's self. Of course. But brand opportunities, I'm sure, through the roof. No, she crushes it. Like she's...

as an influencer in the off season, like I always kept up with her. Like she's the face of many, many brands and she does good work. And it's hard. We're always talking about how, you know, if you're not one of the most famous Olympians, like sometimes Olympians have to work other jobs. Like they can't commit fully to training because it doesn't pay the bills unless you become Wheaties, Simone Biles. And so social media has been great for a lot of Olympians to make income and sustain their training. Yeah. And that's great. That is great. No,

No, she really is like the top of the heap. She like crushes it. Are you ready for our next story? Speaking of influencers. Like no, because I could seriously talk about the Olympics till the day I die, but continue. Well, it's only starting, you know, like you have to pace yourself because I could just see us like getting so excited and then like three days in we're like. It's kind of boring.

Anybody else like over the Olympics? Especially because of the early days aren't the most busing. Cause they're not that competitive yet. Yeah. And there's a big groups and they got a whittle down. Yeah. It's not finals. You have to play like the losers. Yeah. Yeah. All I know is that while I am an American, I also like, I'm just as equally rooting for team Israel. I'm sure they're putting up with a lot.

They're putting up. I just followed them on TikTok to threat team Israel. Yeah. Every day, every which way they're literally getting like packages sent to their home, like with information for their funeral. No. And by the way, like this is where the Olympics get so interesting because we were just talking about this with the Adidas campaign, like the intersection of Olympics and geopolitical landscapes. I feel like it recently happened with Russia. Like it's really interesting. And it's like, it's like, I mean, you can't ignore it.

what's going on. And then like when all the countries get together, it's like, well, they won't die. But it's scary too. It's not just interesting. Like I feel like because of what happened in Munich, Eurovision. Yeah. Aside from like the threats that Edom from Israel was under, like for everyone else, it's like, yeah, it's definitely like political. And who do we want to support and champion? But now with the Olympics, it's like, it's just scary. So, um, stay safe out there to the Israeli athletes. Good luck out there. Um,

Are you ready for our next story? Number four. Yes. Olivia Coppo is responding to the wedding dress backlash for the first time. So Olivia Coppo sat down with People Magazine in her first interview since her Rhode Island wedding on June 29th. She said that her words were twisted and not what she intended. So she said, I wanted to feel like myself in every sense of the word. And I think that's where my decision to be more pared down came in.

She said, hold on. She basically also explained that like when she first explained herself, she feel like it got taken out of context and people were like not digesting what she actually meant. Which is exactly how I feel. Like they were inferring other things from what she said when that's not what she said, first of all. And-

That's not what she meant. That's not what she meant. And that's frustrating. And then they were like putting assigning, you know, things to it that it wasn't. So at the time she had told Vogue that she didn't want to exude sex in any way, shape or form. However, her comments quickly took the Internet by storm.

She said in an interview with People that her words were taken out of context. I wanted to feel like myself in every sense of the word, and I think that's where my decision to be more pared down came in. I feel like I personally like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and unfortunately, I feel like the words I said were spun out of context to fit an agenda that I did not have.

She chose a more conservative dress over something more flashy or trendy because she didn't want to look back and regret the choice. She said, quote, I loved every part of my wedding because I love my husband and the people we got to celebrate that day with. The choices that I made are because I wanted to feel like they're choices I could be proud of in 50 years. And that's

No, like I understood what she meant. Like I said yesterday, like reading comprehension, media literacy, it is an all time low in this country. Yeah. And the fact that like you have to explain like your choices about your wedding. Weddings are so personal and like they're a reflection of you, your values, your childhood, the person you're marrying, your family. Like it's...

who gives a, so you wouldn't do it at all. No, but also what she's saying in general, like she said a statement. And then if you look at that statement through a number of different lenses, you can find meaning in it that she, we, she's telling us she did not meet. Right. And I feel like people do that all the time. And when she's saying like, I give people the benefit of the doubt, like,

That it's not through that lens. That it's through a different lens or just as she meant it to be said. But people do that all the time. We're like, oh, you said this, so you mean that. But you must have meant. Why don't you just like,

think for a second and give people the benefit of the doubt that like they don't mean whatever crazy thing that you think that they mean and they just mean the words that they said of course because also if you continue to look at what she wore throughout the day she ends up in like a very sexy revealing really cute mini dress fashion obviously it wasn't a statement on like women and sex and marriage and christianity like people really ran with it and were like

making it out to be something that it wasn't. And if you just looked at the other pictures, like she obviously didn't mean that. And I understand. I think a lot of people feel that way. Like while maybe their personal style day to day is super trendy, when it comes to a wedding dress, like people really think about it. That's how you're supposed to think about a marriage. It's going to last forever. And you're going to show your grandkids this dress and you don't want them

you don't want them to think like, Oh, what's that ugly dress? You want it to be classic. Yeah. And so I thought the way she explained it made sense. I understood it at the time and I actually liked the dress and that's the thing about fashion. It's subjective. You don't have to like it, but I thought her explanation made perfect sense. What's also so crazy is what she said is how a lot of brides feel like I want this to be a traditional dress. Like I don't want to look back and think I was caught up in a trend and I regret it. Like how we look back at like dresses from the eighties or whatever. When we look back at our eyebrows from the nineties.

So I feel like a lot of brides say that, think that, go into a wedding dress salon and say that. And that's like a normal thing to say. But now all of a sudden it's become like a lightning rod that she's like keeping women down and just like being oppressed. Like what? This is a thing that we've all so many. I don't think it's my dress wasn't like the most traditional. So it's not something that like I said, but it was something I wanted to feel like me. That was like what I, but everyone is like, I want something classic, classic.

that looks good in any era. No, it was really wild to watch that very cliche statement become like a polarizing thing. And it just, I feel like it's a continuation of what we said yesterday. Like you can't make as, as like a public figure, who's a woman, like you can't make a choice in your life without you being a bad something or you failing here. Are you setting a bad? It's like, she liked the dress, leave her the fuck alone. It's, it's really so crazy. Also,

I feel like I enjoyed her wedding content as a fan and a follower of hers and all this other drama. Like I've only seen because, you know, it's the stories every day or like you'll send me stuff, but I'm not on TikTok. So I didn't know there was like this huge, like,

to her wedding dress, but like how annoying like that your whole day is kind of, and I'm sure she's like compartmentalizing and being like, I'm not going to let this like color how I see my wedding, but like to have like the best day of your life followed. And she was putting out so much content and being like so open and, you know, doing the influencer thing and like giving us what we wanted and then for people to take it and shit on it like is so annoying.

It is. I do feel like a lot of the, the scandal, if you will, around her wedding was exacerbated by Christian commenting on that girl's video. Like that really made it from like internet idiocy, like threads into the mainstream. And I think maybe if they were to look back on it, they might regret that one choice because you never want to, it's like, it's so unfair. People can say whatever they want about you and you can't say something back. Like I get it. Yeah. But,

You're Christian McCaffrey. Like you're Olivia Coppo. It does make it bigger. Yeah. I agree with that. So that's the only thing if I were them, I would have done differently. It's so hard to bite your tongue, but it's like what you have to do. No, it sucks. Like girl, shut up. You're ugly and annoying. Like that's what I want to say all the time when literally anyone, whenever anyone criticized me, like whether it's even in a nice way, I'm like, you're ugly and dumb and I'm not. Not even that. I want to correct everything that they've just said. It's really frustrating. And like, it's a natural inclination to want to stick up for yourself and to want to stick up for like your new wife. Of course.

But yes, it needed a story. Now looking back at it. As opposed to just like a random account. Like that's where you heard about it, right? Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. Who knows how big it would have gotten, but I agree that definitely accelerated things. I think it would have been just like classic internet stuff. It wouldn't have been like what we associate her wedding with now. That's what I think. I agree. So yeah. Done. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Mm-hmm. Bette Midler is giving some marriage advice. Yeah. The secret to her 40-year marriage, she says, is separate bedrooms. This is like a thing. This is a thing a lot of people say who have been married for a long time. I feel like it's very Hollywood. I don't know how many, like, lay people sleep in separate beds. Well, how many bedrooms, like, do you just have beds on beds? Right. Like, I don't know if, you know, every couple who's been married for 40 years just has, like, a spare guest room. Yeah. Yeah.

There's always the couch. And my question is like, you didn't get married and go straight to separate beds. No, no, no, no. So like how many years in do you make the switch? I also think, I don't know if this is like a universal piece of advice because I think it's very personality dependent. Like for me, my favorite part of being married is not having to sleep alone. I'm not someone who needs like crazy space in the bed. Like I love sleeping with another person. And I think there are two types of people in this world. Yeah.

This is something, you know, kind of a compromise for marriage or it's like a benefit of marriage. I'm somebody like, don't ever try and leave the bed, Ben. I don't care how you feel. Like I love having someone to sleep with. Well, she says they sleep in separate bedrooms because he snores. Ben snores? So...

You'll have to ask him because, no, no, you'll have to ask me again. I answered that question wrong. Does Ben snore? Yes. He seems like the type. He's also, and I think a lot of women can relate to this experience, he's a snorer and a gaslighter. Because, like, I won't be able to sleep and then I'll hear him snoring and then I certainly can't sleep while he's snoring and I'll just shake him and be like, you're snoring, please. He's like, no, I wasn't. He's like, I wasn't even asleep. What are you talking about? What? What?

No, no. Like I live in reality and the reality is you were sleeping and oh, guess what? You were snoring. I don't think enough about like how blessed I am that neither my husband nor I snore. It's kind of how I feel about like not having ever to wear glasses. Like, yeah, it's like a very like small thing that I take for granted that I think makes a big difference. And I could see for me like it leading to separate bedrooms.

No, it's really annoying. I will say though, there's usually a root underlying issue. And I think when you're overweight, you are more likely to snore. And so with Ben losing weight, I think his snoring went down. Also, I talk about this all the time. Ben has like a lot going on in the nasal department. He's always clearing his throat, blowing his nose. And he recently, he's always fighting a sinus infection. So, you know, you say stop snoring. He's like, I'm sick, you know? Yeah. But he recently has been, I would say for the last like three months on this medicated, um,

What's it called? Like a neti pot. You know, he has an electric one. Of course, he got like a fancy one. It's called a Navaj. And he puts like a medicated powder in it. And I have to say, it's really working. He travels everywhere with this like turnt shopping bag of saltwater pods for his Navaj, his actual Navaj machine. And this prescription, I don't know what the hell it is, like steroid almost. And it really, I don't want to jinx it. I've had no issues for quite a few months. Oh, that's nice. It might also be seasonal. I don't know.

I think for also some people, they get to separate bedrooms just by way of like habit. I think when kids start to sleep in your bed with you, then one person is like, and I feel like sometimes the mom or probably the dad is like, I don't want the kids to sleep in the bed, but the mom is like, yeah. So then he goes to the separate room and then that just kind of becomes like standard standard. That's true. That's what I've heard. So that's one way to get there. Cause like, and I'm not trying to get there. Cause I,

Zach and I like sleep well. We co-sleep well together. We're both like non-intrusive sleepers. I could see that. I could see you guys like having a pillow wall in between because you both are like, this is my side. This is your side. Love you. Good night. No, we don't have a pillow wall, but like, but I feel like you guys don't meet in the middle.

We don't meet in the middle. Like he comes over to my side and then I'm like, wait, there's all that space over there. Move over. But also the way I sleep with a pillow, I like to sleep weirdly with my pillow vertically. I know what you mean. Because I like it on my- Like it's a human you're hugging almost. Yeah. Like I like it going down to me. Like I don't want the slope, the hard drop. Like it's better for my neck. So then weirdly there is a pillow wall. No, you're literally building a fort on your side of the bed. Sorry, babe. That's so funny. It's not personal. I-

sleep like in I just I'm sort of like boundless in where I think I sleep sometimes the middle on my side on Ben's side. I could see that for you. I'm very very like aggressive and like selfish when it comes to like square footage of the bed. I see that. But also I'm a crazy hypocrite. If Ben has a literally like a hair on my side I will like get up and measure and be like get the fuck out. Damn. Like what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too. Yeah.

Well, just know like separate bedroom seems to work for some people. I don't think we're like candidates, you know, that's not the issue.

No, no. I could opt for like separate bathrooms. Separate kitchens. You have separate toilets. We do have separate toilets. That is kind of major. Me and Ben, we don't like argue about the toilet a lot, but there's so many things like related to the toilet that he does that piss me off. We have separate bathrooms actually. Yes, you do. So like whatever he's doing, but that's not like, it's not like when we were in the same bathroom, his side was bothering me or anything. Separate kitchens. Separate kitchens.

I need Ben to have like a commercial kitchen in the basement that I never see. Yeah. He can do all of his cooking and his, you know, filming. And we have like kind of a, we have a public presenting kitchen, which is the one I'm in charge of. And then the chef's kitchen. Whatever goes down in the dungeon is not my concern, not my problem. He won't want to film in there if it's like an industrial grade chef's kitchen. No, no, we'll make it aesthetic and we'll get like good lighting in there, but it won't be natural lighting because it'll actually be below ground. Yeah.

And they'll have rat problems. Like some people have a man cave. Like he'll have his fork cave. His like commercial steel kitchen. Love that. He would love that too. See, like that's the solution. And then when you go to sell your house, people are like,

You know, it will end up on one of those pages like Zillow Gone Wild. Why does this house have a random... It's like someone was living down here. No, just a husband who refused to clean. Just a husband who makes food videos every day and refuses to clean. And like a wife who has a particular... A wife who's a sweeper. Yeah. She swept him all the way to the basement. And like a wife who seriously, like if the kitchen has just been cleaned and then Ben cooks and cleans, like cannot have a normal reaction to that. Like seriously. Yeah.

I become someone who seriously belongs in anger management. And I like, I go fucking crazy. Like really it's to me, it's, I can't even get into it cause I'll start getting angry. It is the height of disrespect. We all have our triggers. That is a huge trigger for me. And it's the first step is identifying it. And the second step, the second step is avoiding it. I love that. Not fixing it. You're entitled to your reaction. The second step is building a new kitchen. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So those were the past five. I enjoyed them. And what's so fabulous about being us is that the show is not over yet. We have literally forgotten to do this two weeks in a row. Something about just like being the Hamptons. It was the mold. Queenie and Weenie. We do a weekly segment here on the toast every Friday where we just take a look at the week at a glance and we give out two awards. Queenie of the week and more importantly, Weenie of the week who acted like a Queenie this week and deserves our absolute applause. Adoration. And who was giving Weenie who was just like, and it's not so serious, you know, it was just like,

- It's seven day title. - It's seven day title. What should we start with? - This too shall pass. Let's start with Queenie of course. We always like to start on a positive 'cause that's just who we are. I'm gonna go first. - Please. - Because my Queenie this week and her name is Samantha. - The dirty big bitch in my bunk who gave the counselor and me lice? - Yes.

So I'm sure when Samantha, the dirty big bitch, got lice and gave it to the counselor and Logan, like that was a really hard day for her. Lice is horrible. But like everything happens for a reason. And I can say the reason for that would be like to spawn the iconic moment that we've been talking about all week on MTV's Fat Camp. And then also like giving us like

We did our whole Patreon about Fat Camp. Like, thank you to Samantha, the dirty big bitch in my bunk. Like, wherever you are, just know, like, you have my love and adoration. Mine is kind of similar because it's also about Fat Camp. But this was just like the week of Fat Camp. It was. And that's why my queenie is Olivia Oshrae. Because our older sister, Olivia, like, the reason we went to Fat Camp had a lot to do with her and, like, some things she went through in her childhood. And we go into it on Patreon. And Jackie and I sort of, like...

aired out all of like the shit she had to deal with when she was a kid on the Patreon. Also all the stuff that like, when we were younger, the things that like we couldn't say, like we didn't even tell people that we went to a fat camp, which is why I never signed the release. And as we're doing the Patreon, we're like, wait, will Olivia care that we said this or that or this? So you called her. And so I called her and she was so cool. She thought it was so funny. And she was, I was like, is it okay that we shared X, Y, and Z? And she was like, of course she thought it was funny. She really let us exploit probably a dark time in her life for the sake of our art. And that was,

Is Queenie like behavior. That is Queenie like behavior. Shout out. Thank you to Olivia. For being a queen. And also shout out to Margo. While we're shouting out sisters. Because our little sister Margo.

always dns's me tiktoks without question that's download and send that's download and send i'm sure you saw on our instagram this week like claudia stopped sending me tiktoks because i can't watch them this was the time to down she's like i can't watch it download and send it to me no and sometimes now she'll send me the ones that i absolutely have to watch and i agree the one that you sent me like i did i didn't need to watch and i enjoyed but i can't watch it so i said like can you please dns and she's like no like no fuck you yeah like seriously go figure it out and my husband was across from i said can i borrow your phone to watch a tiktok and he was like yeah when i when i walk over there

So in that time, I texted Margo, like, I just sent the link. I'm like, can you download and send this to me?

And you know, we're always saying that we are scrappy and industrious. And there, look at you. And who would have thought like out of all the sisters that like Margo's the one who takes the time to help her granny, big sister. I could have guessed that. Really? I feel like, you know, when you work at a corporate job, you're just always looking for things to do. And you just get things done. Yeah. You don't let the grass grow under your feet. She's got that like director energy. So I want to shout out to Margo while we're shouting out sisters. Love that. And you and I. Of course. For always DNSing and never even asking why.

Weenie of the week more fun you first my weenie of the week is like I think the global objective weenie of the week something that we haven't even spoken about enough or shame this person enough for but it's the CrowdStrike employee who like fucked up the algorithm oh my god that feels like so long but like it was people's entire weeks like people were living in the airport for four days because they couldn't like because one person or I don't know maybe it's a team of people maybe the whole team needs to go but like you had one job it was just an update like get it together and

Okay, that's like a good one. Mine now feels mean, but I will continue. Nevertheless, I shall persist. And I just feel like you and I didn't give this person enough shit. I agree. Well, I think they should release the name. What happened to personal accountability? Right. Like, how do we make sure this doesn't happen again? Like, that's just so unacceptable. I know. Literally, like...

The society can't function. They didn't even say like if they fired the person, like there really was no sort of follow up. And I think they're still like unraveling and investigating. But still, you know, it shouldn't take so long. And I feel like the more time passes, the more people will forget. And like, you know, people won't be held accountable. But I'm sorry, like mothers and children sleeping on the airport floor. Not acceptable. And it's like still happening. Yeah. Yeah.

My weenie of the week, I'm sorry. And this is where it's just important to remember that like weenie is like a, it's like a fun thing. It's not like so serious. But when I think of like the essence of weenie dumb, I think of JLo frolicking through the field and like a big custom Bridgerton dress at her 55th birthday party, like with an outfit change. And like, she probably spent like in the Hamptons, like a million dollars. Yeah. Um,

If you get it, you get it. And if you don't, you don't. Also, I just want to say something about like having a birthday party outside of your like home where you live. Like how many people were at that party? How many friends does she have? Do you know what I mean? I think when you're JLo and like you decide you want to throw a party. People just show up. They come. And the people even... That makes me sad too because like that's not your real friends. No, no. I think like your real friends, like they come. Oh, they fly in? Yeah, like you're JLo. Like even your friends care. Right. But then that's not like real friendships where...

You know, all I want to know about this party. It's giving Queen Charlotte, like everyone just like in your court being like J-Lo, J-Lo. You're amazing. I really want to know the only thing that interests me about this party is whether or not Leah Remini was there because the rumors are that like their friendship had broken up. To me, that was one of the great wonders of the world. Like what happened in that elevator with Solange? Like what happened between J-Lo and Leah Remini? And apparently, because the sort of breakup of their friendship was made public when she didn't go to J-Lo and Ben Affleck's wedding. And I think that,

Ben is the reason they're not friends is a reason reference. And they were recently spotted together almost like, oh, well, the marriage is over. It's just like, it's convenient, you know, timing. And I do wonder if she was at the party. Yeah. Cause they were sort of one of the great Hollywood friendships. Yeah. It's tough. Like Carly and tailored. Yeah. Yeah. Can it ever last? I guess like Oprah and Gail.

Oprah and Gail. That's the perfect example. Okay. Me and you. Me and you. A great Hollywood friendship. That was a great one. Extremely Hollywood. Extremely great. And extremely friends only. Like not sisterhood. No, no, not bound by blood. Screw sisterhood. I agree. That's our show. You know, like that's pretty much it. And if you take one thing away from this, screw sisterhood. Correct. In favor of more sisterhood.

Boom. It's not enough sisterhood. That's why you got to screw it and do it again.
