Shownotes Transcript
Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Tuesday! Hey, Jax, how ya durn, girlfriend? I'm durn good, boyfriend. Um, no. We're girlfriend-boyfriend. No, we're girlfriend-girlfriend. Love is love and I love you. I love you too. I choose you on this Tuesday. How are you doing? Such a loaded question. In a spiritual sense, I'm doing really well. Okay. Okay.
Physical sense, you know, feeling a little groggy. Okay. I would say overall, if you really truly wanted to know, and I know you didn't, you were just being polite. I'm doing okay.
Okay, well, I hope that levels will increase after or during this episode of The Toast. That's what we do here. You just can't help but let the toastiness overcome you. You just can't help but let the chips fall where they may. Well, that's the damn truth. This week is kind of crazy because this hurricane is historic. I've been tracking it and as have most Floridians because
Florida has not seen a hurricane like this since the 1920s, over 100 years ago. It's category five set to hit Tampa Bay. The mayor of Tampa Bay, did you see her interview where she was like, if you stay, you will die? Yeah. This hurricane is not survivable. I have thought about you a lot.
Thank you. Because I know like you live not in the region, but like it's the same state. Like, are you worried at all? I am a little worried. Storms can change. They can change paths and
And even if it's not at the storm center, like you still get a lot of weather. So it's going to be a crazy couple of days down here in the sunshine state. So if you are in an area that is called to be evacuated, like I hope that you've evacuated. Traffic is crazy getting out of town. But you still have time. It's supposed to hit tomorrow night, right? Tomorrow afternoon, they're saying. If you are in a zone that has been evacuated, I have one thing to say. Get out!
right now, but like actually. Yeah. And I mean, people are trying, but it's hard. Like you have to assume your home might not be there when you get back. By the way, so much easier said than done. You also have to like batten down the hatches. Leave behind everything you know in this world. It's very difficult. A lot of people are still already suffering from Hurricane Helene. I saw that some of these places hadn't even fully recovered from Hurricane Ian. There's just a lot to consider. And so I'm wishing everyone the best.
Yeah, me too. And just waiting, I guess. Do you see the meteorologist crying? I saw the meteorologist crying. He said, like, he was, like, an older gentleman, clearly an experienced meteorologist. And he was just kind of overcome, like, he knows the magnitude and, like, he's seen things and he knows, like, this is going to be devastating. That he's never seen anything like this before. I feel like sometimes there's, like, not a lot of hoopla for a hurricane and then it ends up being, like, completely devastating and then sometimes there's a lot of hoopla and it's, like, not that bad. Hopefully that's what's going to happen. Hopefully. Hopefully.
But we need a miracle. But miracles happen. Miracles happen once in a while. And if you're listening to this episode, maybe like you live in an area that's like being hit and you're hunkering down and like you saved your episodes of The Toast. Like this is, you're listening to this as a hurricane is hitting. Like we are with you. You've got this. Yeah.
Yeah. Power of prayer. You see King Luke Combs putting together a benefit concert. Of course. Now the question that everybody wants to know is Luke Combs' number one song, or maybe one of his top five songs, is called Hurricane. And when you're doing a benefit concert for like the victims of Hurricane Colleen, are you singing that song? Like it's not disrespectful, but it's like a little weird. It's a little on the nose, but I think if you give it like a nice prelude of like,
this one's called Hurricane, like this goes out to all the ones. I think it could be a tribute. - There's a right way to do it. I don't think anybody though would like ever assume in any scenario, but this one in particular, that Luke Combs has anything other than good intentions. But I do want, like that's definitely a conversation amongst his team to play Hurricane or to not.
Since it's the benefit concert and he clearly shows that he cares and he's helping, like he's going above and beyond. - And he put it together. - Nobody can accuse him of shit, but if there was a pop star with the song Hurricane and today she was doing a performance in a racy little something, sitting about a hurricane, that would come off as tone deaf. - It would have to be toned down, an acoustic stripped down version.
Yeah, I think like when you're doing the benefit concert, like you can sing the song. But if you're singing about a hurricane like glowingly right after a devastating hurricane and another one coming through, maybe that's a skip for the day. Right. That's kind of like one of my favorite performances. I think we all have those. We all have like a list of YouTube videos that we get drunk and like make everyone in the room watch. Right. One of mine, it's a kind of dark, but it's Beyonce singing at Kobe Bryant's concert.
funeral. Apparently like his favorite Beyonce song was XO but like the line in the chorus is crashing into you and like he had literally just died of a hurricane of a helicopter crash and she actually changed the word like just not not wanting to trigger a nation you know. Yeah that was like at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Sam Ryder he has that song they're gonna throw a party on the day that I die. George Ezra that's not Sam it's George Ezra and yeah. Isn't George Ezra like an old man? No he's a guy who sings Budapest.
my house yes george azar blue sky that's how i learned the song i'm like i love this song i heard it at the queen's jubilee they changed the lyric from you're better you're gonna throw a party on the day that i die because it was i mean that was a lip that was like talk about on the nose that was like up the nostril it was really yeah so that was amended not to like you know make the hurricane about me and i'm not i'm just like i'm trying to switch subjects because i wanted to share something and i just remembered it oh two things actually just one actually um
Kind of developing story over the last couple of months, I have major news to announce. Okay, I'm listening. Major. Ready? Special announcement.
You were in the studio? Yesterday, I put in an offer on a studio, which I haven't done yet. The good thing about the situation I have found myself in is, like, I am looking for a bunker, like a unit with no windows, which are the least desirable units. Right. Who the fuck would, if you actually work in, like, an office environment, who the fuck would look for something without windows? And I found a unit with one unit in the bathroom. I mean...
One window. One window. I found a unit with one window in the bathroom. So literally it's a bunker. Nobody wanted it. It's half the price of this place. It's been sitting on the market forever. I just put in an offer in yesterday. If we get it, which I am fairly certain we will. Let me say it's such a fabulous building. Like,
My walk just got cut in half. Thank God. This walk is just a little too long for me. We would have two unique studio setups so that when Ben comes. Unique New York? Yes. I would have my OG. And we're going to renovate a little bit when I move. Like our remote setup is just going to be a little different. Facelift.
So I'll have a nice space for that. And then I'll have a totally separate area for two seats. So when Ben and Josh want to do it, when you come to town, I'm getting a little ahead of myself because I haven't accepted my offer. And like I did low ball. Like I was being really... Yeah, but is it this... I hope they don't watch this episode, but like...
If they stuck with their asking price, like, would you still take it? Their asking price is so under budget. Like, that's how much I slayed the house down on this. The answer is yes. And sorry, I didn't slay the house down. Ben's sister, Maddie, is a commercial real estate agent. Maddie slayed the house. So the answer is yes. Even if they don't accept your offer, like, and you just say, okay, I...
I was playing hard to get. I'll take what you're off. So it will be yours. It shall be like showing my cards publicly on the podcast. Like we need to get this out. Do you think there's any chance they're watching this? Like, yeah. Like everyone who works in real estate is like Jewish people. Like I, that I know from like high school, everyone I know went into real estate. Give Turdi a break. Come on. No, like, do you care about the toast? Like, do you want our bottom line to suffer? Like, just help me. Yeah. It should be free. They should pay you. We're literally a 501c3. Like this is charity work that we do to bring joy to everyone.
It's so true. Oh my God, what else? Oh, is Taylor Swift a story like about the game last night? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's a big story. - Okay, so I'll save my little, I'll save my little. - She's a twofer. - 'Cause that's what I watched last night. Like I've really made peace with not finishing "Love is Blind." And because I interacted on social media with so much "Love is Blind" content, like now I'm really getting in the weeds on everyone's drama, mostly Tyler. Like it goes deep and it's disappointing. Like seriously, never meet your heroes.
I am caught up now on Love is Blind. It's really not doing anything for me. Like I'm on my phone way too much. So we'll see if I miss it and I'm curious about it, I'll go back to it, but I'm happy to be caught up. I will be curious who actually gets married, but it's just not my favorite bunch of peeps. What can I say? Except when...
Nope. Monica. Thank you. When Monica told him to stop talking. When Monica told him to stop talking. I wasn't paying attention. And then she like started saying like, it's too much. I'm like, Zach, go back. What did I miss? No. And that's exactly like what I meant. He, he talks so much. He says nothing. He thinks he's like, so quiet.
Smart and like progressive and profound and empowering. And it's like, shut up. Okay. But I have, I feel two ways about that because like, yeah, what's worse than somebody not shutting up and like saying the worst shit, like shut up. I kind of loved that she took her power back, but also like what's meaner than like someone like being excited and like chatting about something. And then like somebody just being like, can you shut up? Like,
She wasn't being... I'm like, I'm a really chatty person, and I get excited about things, and I feel like... Claudia, it's so different. I know, I know, I know. You don't take up space when you speak. Like, you're being funny and entertaining, and some people could even be, like, smart and interesting and educational. It's so true. Like, he's saying nothing. He's taking up all of the space. The room, yeah. And then even when she... Well, the problem is, is now that she's heard it, and now that she's seen it, like, how do you unsee it? How can you, like, live with that forever? It's an ick. If it bothered you once, it's gonna bother you forever. But...
when she told him to stop talking and he was like smiling so big with like about to start like crying tears of joy that she told like, it was...
Deranged. No, he is seriously. Oh, and so funny is a lot of our listeners, their feedback from what we said yesterday is like, no, you guys don't understand. Like, I live in D.C. and this is what it's like today. Like, the men in D.C. are horrible. I'm so sorry. I know. But you know what I find so interesting about Monica? And I wanted to bring this up yesterday. I feel like when she was doing her reveal, she said something so honest. And I feel like kind of relatable. She's like, I'm 36 and I look at my life and all I've cared about for so long is like
career goals, having a million friends, traveling. And now I look around, I don't care about any of that stuff and I'm just lonely. And I think a lot of people feel that way, but you're kind of ashamed to admit. And I think that we're always like, especially for women, you don't need a man, you don't need a man. But it's okay to need a man. I am independent and I desperately need my husband in the most, not even in the scariest sense. And that's okay. And I actually thought that was such a
really honest thing to say and it made me like her in that moment so much and like even her loneliness can't mask her hatred of him like no and it's like I so for that reason like I want her to find someone and she'll make it work and she seems like someone who would be committed to making it work but like all of those things that are bothering her about him right now just the talking incessantly like he was doing in the pods and you chose him yeah but the thing is the only thing to do in the pods is talk so maybe you don't notice I guess it was like
But now we're on vacation. Let's read. Let's relax. Like, shut up. And then the other moment of note, there were a few, but something that, you know, caused me to. Did Tyler bring up his kids? Tyler, if he did, I watch every episode. So if he did, I missed it. Oh, okay. No. Hannah and Nick and the duck and the older woman. Yeah. Yeah.
She was being such a bitch. Fabissina, fabissina punam. And the fact, like, I was honestly glad for him that, like, she was, like, making fun of him for wanting to do this thing. And he still, like, went and did it. She's not going to ruin his good time. This older woman, and she was kind of, like, the perfect person to, like, come over and do it because it's not...
A threat. She's. And she was probably like with her partner. Like they were just genuinely having fun. And then the way that Hannah recapped it to someone else saying. Yeah. The older woman called her a jealous bitch. No she didn't. She just said like silly. Like silly. Like don't be jealous. And the fact that Hannah like made it into a thing. Like he was talking to another woman. It was so not that whatsoever. And then. And she was like if someone was talking about you like that. I wouldn't just be giggling. Meanwhile she's on the couch for this. And talking shit about him to the producers. And.
And all of her friends are making comments about his looks. Has she said anything? No, she is the worst. The worst. Agreed. And he, even if I did understand what she was saying in the pods, like too suave, saying the right thing, it was giving like Sam from UK. He's a lovely person, a happy person, and she's not a happy person and she's bringing him down. That's what it is. Like only a real like joyful person like goes and like wants to ride a fake duck and like makes friends on vacation. Like she is Fabicina. Yeah.
When she was sitting there, like, being like, you're giving me the ick. And when he came back and they were fighting, I was like, you guys should break up right now. Like, this is not going to work for you.
for you. I hate the concept of the ick. Like when it first came out, I was really into it. Like it's funny. I know what you mean. Like you see someone like waiting in line. You're like, oh. But I think it's really given like people an excuse to like dislike people and write them off completely for like the most natural like innocuous things. And it makes people, it makes you mean. No one's going to be suave all the time. People now conflate like ick with red flag. Like a red flag means you should like walk away from someone like seriously.
Stop. Don't pass go. And ick is not that. Like it's just a moment of butt clenching and then you unclench and you carry on. It's so true. So, okay. He gave you the ick. Okay, cool. I'm sure you gave him the ick. Thousand percent. And then the list that she like had next to her bed. I didn't get there. Oh, you didn't finish everything? No. Oh, I thought you did. No, I'm done.
Like, I'm not done in the sense that I finished it. I'm done in the sense that, like, I will no longer participate. Got it. I've watched every episode they have on offer. Good for you. It's not a good season. It's not a great group. That's what I'll say. I won't miss them if I choose not to pick it back up again. Yeah, same. But we have stories today. Mm-hmm. I mean, you sound surprised. We've got that swirlitude, right? We do. Again, don't be surprised about that.
I could never. Stories and Swirlitude. That's the bedrock of the toast. So true. Bedrock. What does that remind you of? The Flintstones. Classic. Of course. I was like, wait, am I wrong? Like what else would, literally what else would there be? And bedrock is a word that I'm always looking for. I need to like really start adding it to. And then also like Jason Derulo. I can make your bedrock. Literally. Literally.
When I use the words like cornerstone and like core tenant, the word I'm really looking for is bedrock. And I've just now realized that. And I need to really learn this word and unlearn core tenant. And what was the other cornerstone? Oh, I'll miss cornerstone. Bye. Thanks for the memories. That's like your favorite restaurant. The corner store is a cornerstone of your American culture, of your dining preferences. That is true.
So I'm ready to dive in. Or maybe it could be a bedrock now. Every time I wear jeans on the toes, I regret it. Like, the circulation to my labia is, like, it's completely cut off. That was me yesterday. Today I'm wearing. It's so rough. I'm wearing these capri trousers that are stretchy and adorable from Revolve. They were on pre-order and I just got them yesterday. But do you want to know something so crazy? Yeah. They came with a hole in them.
- I'm still wearing them and I'm not sending them back because like they were on pre-order. Like I won't get another pair, but I don't have to just- - Where is it? - It's on the seam on the leg. - Okay, on the seam. Oh, I see it, oh my God. - You see it, but you guys won't see it. That's why I went forward. - Oh my God, that's really crazy. On the seam, you know I can fix that for you. - Yeah, of course. Like it's a nothing, but like seriously? - Revolve, really? - I'm glad you brought that up.
Get it together. For the last like two years, absolutely everything on Revolve is exclusively available for pre-order. What is that? And then like six months later, you get a dress and you're like, I literally don't need this. Oh, I have the opposite experience where it's like, shucks, I don't want to pre-order it. I need it next week. And then all of a sudden, but I pre-order it because it's cute. And then it's like here two days later. What is up with pre-order? Why?
- One, maybe these are popular styles that they can keep in stock. And two, maybe it allows them to not place like mass orders and just sort of like do things made to order, which is a more profitable business model. - It's so low brow. Like if I order something, I expect it to come. - This rip is so low brow. - We did a whole episode on like the quality of Revolve. We did, what was that? Like a couple of months ago, Revolve has gone so downhill. It's insane. To me, it's the same level quality as like H&M now, but the prices are like 10 times as much.
Ooh, did you see Cult Gaia for Gap? - No. - I love when brands do this. Remember like Isabel Marant, Balmain for H&M, Missoni for Target. - No, but it's always like really big houses and things that are super like luxury. And it's cool when they do H&M. But I also love the idea of just like great designers,
mid-level designers collaborating with more affordable brands too. - Kult Gaia for Gap. It's like a real blend. Kult Gaia is like very like statement piece and Gap is very like basic. So it's like a real blend. I just, I love when brands do that. Like we need more of that all the time. And I thought that was a really good one. I don't know if Gap has ever done one. - They... - Yeah, that guy, but like, that's not real. - Yeah.
Cool. Yeah. And now without further ado about the rip, here are the rip. Here are the Fast Five Stories that you need to know.

And they have a great new offer that we're going to share with you, but I just want to say, like, Lume deodorant, I love underarm deodorant, don't get me wrong, but I have, like, a lot of other areas, especially as, like, a big breasted woman and a woman with rolls. Like, there are crevices and cracks that need attention, too, and Lume deodorant is for that. And it's also, I think a lot of people are...
just concerned about odor in their nether regions and it's pH balance. It was created by an OBGYN so you can use it there too. It's clinically proven to block odor all day long and control odor for up to 72 hours. They've also formulated a new product to keep you smelling fresh and help you stay drier.

Thank you, Code Turt. You're welcome. Our first story, Taylor Swift's return to rock the stage and the stands at Arrowhead for Chiefs vs. Saints game. She wore a Vivienne Westwood set, and more notably, she wore sparkle freckles on her face, which kind of had the internet in a tizzy. Yeah, she wore Vivienne Westwood, which she wears all the time, but she wore plaid again, and so now, like, everyone's setting the stage for next...
It's like the third time in a row she's wore plaid. You think there's going to be bagpipes on the next album? I was thinking it's giving, you know, the Highland Fling. Sure. What could it be? I don't know. But her outfits always are some sort of indicator. What was your theory last time? Well, with the VMA outfit, I thought, did I say it looked like she was going to do a Fortnite concert?
Yeah. Because she looked like a Fortnite gamer character in like Fortnite the song. Yeah. She's definitely got something up her cilt. I don't have a theory about plaid because I seriously don't get it. You said something that was a good theory. But no, she's definitely sending a message. Because you don't need to wear plaid to a football game. Like you just need to wear red. No. And plaid, like why so much plaid? Though it is the season for plaid. Like maybe it's just like. No, that's really crazy. Every time you're spotted out, every outfit is plaid.
I don't know what it means. But let's talk about the sparkle freckles. Now, I think the universe is really divided on it. And I actually understand because I've seen a bunch of pictures of the freckles. And in some of the really high res close up photos, it just looks like
splotches on her face but in some of like the really bright iridescent photos it looks so she like fucking cute like she's just like kissed by the sun she's lit from within so I think it's really about the photos I wonder how they looked in person so um yeah some of the photos like it looks a little weird but some of the photos it looks sick yeah I think it's adorable and I think it's really fun it's giving like Coachella at Arrowhead it's just like a a
a way to have fun with your makeup though. It's, that's not something she ever does. She barely changes her lipstick color. So like, it's really shocking that she could be moved to do something like this. Do you think it's another symbol like freckles plus kilt? Like, is she becoming an Irish redhead? Is that what's next? I don't think, I don't think that the sparkly freckles are any sort of, I think she just like wanted to have fun and it came up on my TikTok, like the founder of, it's like a very small, like,
like woman owned brand she just like sells these sparkle like freckle tattoo type things she was freaking she has no idea how Taylor got it like she was freaking out I feel like when it's something you want to do for fun you like do it with a friend like I could have seen like her and Brittany doing it together I feel like it's a symbol and you know I'm not about like that symbol life I'm like tailored wore a kilt because she felt like wearing a kilt like I'm just feeling the symbolism
- That's interesting to hear from you, 'cause I actually don't think it's a symbol. - Right. - I think everything is. - And do any of the Swifties think it's a symbol? - I know, everybody was just like, "Cute choice, fun choice playing with your makeup." But you're right, she's not a swirly who ever plays with her makeup. She's been wearing the same winged liner, red lipstick since she was 16. - She hasn't changed her hair. She's very classic in her look. She's had the same look. I feel like it's right in front of us. She's telling us something. Maybe her next album's called "Sun Kissed."
She had a lot of Florida references. Oh, so the game, by the way, the Chiefs won. Travis played like the best he's ever played. Like literally telling everyone to eat his ass. Like retire who? No, he had so many catches. He crushed it. But it's also good luck tailored. Yes. And tailored finally returns and like. And he plays well. She's like the anti-Jessica. I'm so sorry, by the way, to Jessica Simpson. Like you are the reference for this. And I wish I had a better one because I love you, but it's you.
So, you know, everyone on the internet, like if you care, is talking about how Jessica Simpson and her husband like are most likely getting divorced. They haven't been seen together in a while. She hasn't worn a ring in a year and she sold their like LA marital home. You told me some of this. And while it all is pointing to divorce, like there's really no other direction that it looks like. I hold space for Jessica Simpson, like living a sort of chaotic life.
and that things that she does like might not make sense to the lay person. Well, speaking of things that might not make sense to the lay person, I literally was tagged in a TikTok this morning. Somebody put together, you know, Jessica Simpson has refollowed John Mayer on TikTok.
and had started liking his photos like around the time that her marital home was put up for sale, the end of 2023. Like somebody did a full blown investigation. - Too obvious. But she is kind of obvious like that. - Yeah, she is. - Like she wouldn't have a Finsta. She like probably doesn't even realize people can see it or it might be tracking. - Yes, he does not follow her back.
Yeah I feel like he probably closed the book there. Yeah and he like dates like only like the youngest of the youngest girls like Jessica Simpson I think would be far too old for him. Yeah. He's like dating Kiernan Shipka. I saw that they're like two different people than they were when they dated at this point. It's like if they met like they'd have to introduce themselves to each other they're strangers. Yeah.
Okay, but back to the game. I just wanted to share something because I did watch it and Travis played so great. So happy for him. Like really crushed him. I'm so glad my Travi made it to the big game. You can't talk about Travi in the game without that. I know. But there was such a cute moment. So do you know Taylor's backup? You probably don't because you refuse to engage in any Aris tour concert until you see it. I saw a man and his brother and his mother.
Okay, so Taylor's backup dancer, Cameron Saunders, is like, she has a lot of backup dancers, but he's the one that everybody loves. He's so cute. And anytime there's like a role for the backup dancer, like he does it. I think he's like definitely Taylor's favorite. Teacher's pet. And he happens to be from Kansas City and his brother for like the longest time was on the Chiefs as like a really good, not famous, but like really good stable defensive player. He was one of those players like you don't really know his name, but he just like does his job. Yeah. Yeah.
And last night, I guess I didn't even realize that his brother had gotten traded to the Saints and he was playing Kansas City last night. And they were just talking on the because the brother got like a good tackle. They were talking on TV about, oh, you know, his brother is Taylor's backup dancer. And they actually cut to Taylor. And she's like, that's my backup dancer's brother. You could actually read her mouth saying that. But then like something he had like a career first. They were literally as they were talking about him. It was so weird. Kansas City threw the ball and they missed it.
But before the ball hit the ground, Cameron Saunders, who is not, he doesn't make catches. He just tackles. He caught the ball and started running. And like, he really, first of all, it was a turnover. And by the way, he's enormous. Like I think it said they have his weight on the TV, which-
- Couldn't be. - I can never. He weighs 330 pounds, okay? - 330? - 330. So his job is really to be like a brick wall. - Test. - Yeah. And you're not doing a lot of running in that role, you're just tackling. And so, oh my God, he was so cute. It was a career first catch, like running, running. And he was amazing. Like he was running, he was tackling people. And it was so, the whole thing, like the world revolves around Taylor Swift. Like it was really crazy. They were just talking about him. And he's not a player who gets talked about a lot because he's just doing his job and like,
Oh, my God, it was the best moment. And then since everyone was talking about him, ESPN started posting all these videos, like Cameron, the brother who's the backup dancer, was at the game, and him and, you know, it was just really cute. That's really sweet. It was. So did you like her outfit? I'm so glad. Oh, I liked her outfit, yes. I don't know, I don't think it was the right venue for it. Like, that's very much like dinner in New York with the girls or a date night. But, like, I feel like her game day outfits are always, like, really...
Kind of relatable in a sense. Like she's always wearing like gear. Yeah. Very wags of her. And so this was just like high fashion Vivian Westwood for what? Yeah. I liked it actually. Me too. I feel like it didn't get a lot of love. But I like it. I don't love it. But I do like it. Like arbitrarily zoomed out. Like I think the outfit is cute. Yeah. Do you think it's appropriate for where she was? Like kind of no. I don't know. But sometimes like the wags get super glam. Like you can't put them in a box. Sometimes it is gear. Sometimes it's like glam gear. But sometimes it's like.
We're just looking gargi today. My favorite wag attire, if any of the wags are listening and they care what I think, is glam gear. Me too. Me too. Like looking high fashion, like you got like a red Chanel jacket. But I think it also depends if it's an afternoon game or a night game. Because if it's an afternoon game, like I kind of love like a gear cute t-shirt with some cool jeans and like cash and like, I don't know, a Chanel bag. Yeah. Yeah.
It must be fun. Yeah. So, but this was a night game. So she like brought out the heels. Who do you think is the best dressed wag? Oh, Kristen Juszczyk. Olivia Colpo. She, I was going to say Olivia Colpo too, but like Kristen Juszczyk gets extra points because she literally makes it from scratch. Yeah. She, cause she made it. Yeah. Yeah. I agree.
Also a little more tailored news, 1B, is that Taylor is now the richest female musician with a net worth of $1.6 billion, usurping Rihanna at $1.4 billion. So Forbes has just updated Taylor's net worth, which makes her the richest female musician. It also makes her the richest, I think, musician ever.
cross gender whose money solely comes from music. Potentially. Right. That's why it makes her surpassing Rihanna that much more impressive because obviously like music wise, like Taylor Swift is going to be making more money for music, but Rihanna like literally owns a billion dollar global brand. Like it's insane. Yeah. Um,
So the fact that she was able to do that through music is so crazy. And I know like these stats like matter to Taylor and I'm happy for her. Yeah. And especially for so long, it was crazy that she was not a billionaire. Not until one year ago, but Selena was one year ago, she became a billionaire and now she's the richest female musician. Um, but I'm just so glad that she's like in these combos, which she should have been for a long time.
Yeah, yeah. And I love like Forbes and their nosiness when it comes to people's money. And so I appreciate them staying on top of her net worth because like I do wonder. Yeah, yeah. So our next story is one of our favorite subjects.
Food? No. Oh, wait. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I have to say something because I was just reminded of something. And we did talk about how last week, Jackie and I were obviously off Thursday and Friday for Rosh Hashanah, but Jackie had the brilliant idea, because we know you guys missed us so much and we couldn't record an episode, that on Friday, just as like a little treat, we would re-release an old episode of like an iconic toast episode. We chose the one Robert Flats. That's one people are always quoting to us about the one time I thought like Rascal was a name. And it just was like a fabulous episode. Yeah.
So we re-released it. The reception was so positive, but I wanted to say something. Like one, I'm so glad you guys liked it. We are going to do that like on days off. You know, we love a federal holiday. We are going to go back in the vault and reshare old episodes. It's so funny to hear our pop culture takes and how different we talk and look. Oh my God. So sound off in the comments, like what your favorite episode is and we'll start re-releasing them like on random days off. But I needed to say the one thing we have to do moving forward is
is we have to record just like an intro for these Toast to History episodes because so many people were like, I listened to pretty much most of the episode without realizing that it wasn't new. And I was like, oh, Taylor Swift has a new album because Robert Flatt's episode was the day Evermore dropped. Like I was cracking up so hard to be just, I needed to tell you that. Do people not look at the title when? It was called, but by the way,
By the way, we would name a title. It said Toast Herstory, Robert Flatt's original air date. Original air date. Yeah. No, I thought we made it clear. But some people just like, they love us. They just press play. Like, they don't give a fuck. Okay, we'll record an intro after this. And maybe we'll write a song. I'm so glad we're doing our Toast Herstory. One step closer to Travi being my love.
- ♪ Last name ♪ - No, okay, so it's for days off, ready? - Okay. - So, what'd you say, the first line? - ♪ I'm so glad we're doing our toaster-story ♪ - ♪ We are almost back with Jackson Turdy ♪ Like, we're coming back. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - We'll work on it. - No, I like it, I like it. - No, don't try and do more than that. Like, we can barely get the first two lines. - This is our creative process, Turdy. Kim, sign me the process.
So true. You can stymie the process, can't you? Stymie is another good word. It is, but it reminds me of stye, which I don't like. Have you ever had a stye? I feel like you haven't. I feel like I have not, but I feel like I have. Like I've definitely had phantom stye.
I like oddly had a lot of styes growing up and I've gotten like a couple in my adult life and like they are debilitating. They are horrible. Yeah. I'm sorry. If you have a stye today, like just know we're thinking of you. If you have a stye today, like don't try that stuff from the drugstore called stye. It's horrible. Just put a warm tea bag on your eye. It'll go away. Yeah. And some sunglasses for the rest of us. And also like wash your face, you know? Wash your face.
Our next story, one of our favorite subjects, intimacy on set. - Who's doing what now? - What? - Who's doing what? - Andrew Garfield reveals that his sex scene with Florence Pugh went further than intended when filming their new movie, "We Live in Time." Horrible title for a movie, like seriously. - What's it called? - "We Live in Time." - It's bad. - What is it? We live in a time. - Yeah, no, I have no idea.
Passion between Andrew Garfield and his co-star Florence Pugh heated up when the cameras weren't rolling, but not exactly on purpose. He detailed one particularly racy scene he and Florence filmed that went, quote, a little bit further than they intended.
The 41-year-old explained that the sex scene was captured on a closed set, meaning only a very small amount of people were in attendance for the sake of the actor's privacy. He said in a discussion at the 92nd Street Y, I just feel like that's important to know. He said, quote,
He went on to detail the two actors' methods as they continued rehearsing the choreographed moment, saying, quote, and were kind of like, okay, we'll go to the next thing and the next thing. We'll let this progress and we'll just carry on. At a certain point, both of us, I feel like we were telepathically saying to each other, this definitely feels like a long take. Then he noted that he looked up to see the camera operator was not even filming the passionate moment between himself and Floh.
He shared, I look up and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator. Stuart has the camera by his side and is turned into the wall. So I guess they just thought like they were like going at it for fun. Here's the thing. Celebrities will like share tidbits like this and then also like straight to your face be like, no, it's not weird like to make out with a random person when you're married. Like that's part of the job. They're always telling us like it's not weird. It's not weird. It's not weird. It's part of the job. It's part of the job. It's part of the job. And then something like this.
will be sad and I'm like, it's weird. - It's weird. - You literally can't convince me it's not. - Actors are weird people. Like were they both single during this instance? - I feel like yeah. - Because if I were one of their partners, like, and I heard this, that's cheating.
It's already so fucking weird. But the fact that like they kept going, why didn't they hear cut? But the camera guy put his camera down and like they're still going. And by the way, so they did all this extra work and it wasn't even caught on tape. Like maybe sometimes I could see how like intimacy like would go a little more. But that's just the actors like really feeling the role and whatever. And it's like, OK, so get that on camera and like we'll incorporate that and the improvisation into the film. This is just really sad. Yeah.
Like the fact that this happened, like it is what it is, right? We can't, we can't, you know, change that. The sharing. Yeah. But I feel like if it happened and they didn't share, like it was secretive, like that also makes it weird. Like the whole thing is weird. This is just a weird thing that happens. That they want us to wrap our heads around and think is normal. And I think for most of us, it's not.
No, it's not. And I guess like I really can see if you like work in a sitcom and like it's very PG and like you just kiss. Like I can see that becoming routine, you know, and it's so analytical about the lights. But the more and more things that I watch, like there is so much like pretty graphic sex in everything. Like literally Florence Pugh had a sex scene in Oppenheimer. Like, oh.
Like so unnecessary. They put sex everywhere. Like really graphic. And I'm not talking about just like kissing. I'm sorry. Being naked and like in these types of positions. Like that I don't think you could ever get used to. The kissing. Oh my fake husband on a sitcom. You know. A hundred percent. And what's funny. It's like audiences aren't asking for this. I feel like it's constantly voiced upon us. And we're getting just used to more and more sex scenes. Like longer. More graphic. Like more skin. More.
Yeah. And it's them like pushing it on us when it's like you would think they'd be the ones to be like, you know what? Let's just leave it to your imagination. There is like a lot of unnecessary sex and nudity. I feel like seriously, the nudity in Oppenheimer was so unrelated to the storyline. Like, yeah, I guess like Oppenheimer had a chick on the side. Like, OK. Yes, he should. You could show them in bed. Like there's just a reason to see like it's a movie about a bomb and a war like that.
yeah it's unique unique energy unique New York unique energy so um I just hope they were single it's all I'll say no and if you're an actress like who doesn't like there are some actresses who have hard lines like they won't do nudity um I feel like now more than ever like your options are definitely limited like now when I think back on the fact that in Sex and the City like Carrie Bradshaw who obviously Sarah Jessica Parker had a line she was like I'm not being nude at all um
It's actually crazy that she was a star of that show, given what the show is about and the contents of the show and all the other women and their sex scene. The fact that she never showed nudity, it's honestly, it's impressive. Yeah. I don't think you could get away with that today. No, I don't think so. I don't think you could helm a show with sex in the title. And she's the star.
And be a budding actress, not someone who like, we want you in our movie because people are going to watch it. We know you like someone new. Zendaya was the only one in Euphoria who didn't do nudity. And that's because she's Zendaya and she can say that. And they want her in their show. And if it was someone who doesn't have an audience or fans, they'd be like, okay, we can find someone else who's down to do it and doesn't have an audience and fans. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'm older. Yeah. Keep telling us it's not weird. It is weird.
It is. Are you ready for our next story? Number three. Yeah. Brittany Cartwright started secretly hooking up with Jax Taylor's pal, Julian Sensely, shortly after their separation. So the divorce between Jax and Brittany, every day we get some new stuff, but this was kind of the most sensational thing that I've heard. Brittany Cartwright started secretly hooking up with one of her estranged husband's Jax Taylor's pals shortly after their separation. Yeah.
Page Six can exclusively reveal. They can confirm that after Jackson-Brittany announced their split in February, she began a casual physical relationship with basketball player turned actor Julian Sensley, who used to work the door at TomTom.
Oh. Yeah. Page six was told that the two of them only ever hung out privately and that their romance is now over. An insider tells page six that Sensley and his now fiance who have a child have been on and off and were going through a rough time when he and Brittany were intimate. So there's a lot of layers of bits here. Like one, he's a professional, was a professional basketball player. So like. Obsessed. That's cool. He's friends with Jax. Obsessed. He worked for Tom Tom. Um,
But that pretty much Brittany started, like, hooking up with his friend after they split. Good. I love to see Brittany out here just, like, doing whatever she wants. She was married to someone who, like, seriously did whatever he wanted throughout the course of their marriage. And, like, now that she has no ties to him, besides their kid, but I mean, like, she has no loyalty or obligation to him. Like, do it. Literally do whatever you want. Yeah. Every time I see her doing something, I'm like, good. And Jax is really, like, being crazy. Like, you know, they have a podcast together. But they...
So Jax has been like releasing solo episodes and like, he just like, no one had heard from him. And then he released an episode, like why your partner might be ghosting you. Like something like whatever. I was just like,
Like what? That's really crazy. Also. And Brittany was like, sorry, like the podcast is like a little, when he released that episode, she was like, we're working on it. Like, sorry. I feel like if you're like paying close attention to that podcast, it's probably like filled with tea, but I just don't think that many people are paying attention. No, I know. But also don't forget that in February when they were splitting up, like he was spotted out and about with that little girl, not little girl, younger lady. Yeah. So like. I forgot. Yeah. Just to put it into context.
Well, that's good. Brittany deserves to like be in a relationship. But how great that like this guy she just happened to like get involved with like will piss off Jax. Like that's just kind of we're all winning here. Yeah. I didn't put enough milk in my coffee. Here, let me. It's a little strong.
I ran out of half and half, so I had to use Charlie's milk. Not as tasty. Oh, kind of like, kind of something major that happened in my life. You know, have you tried the Chobani creamers? They're like, went super viral. I see everyone talking about them. I feel like I tried it once and I didn't like love it, so I didn't give it more chances and I should have. So I tried it too. I like bought a random one at Hazelnut because that's what I, and it was like seriously puke, like bleh. And then Satchel Cratchit was like turd. Trust and believe, get the purple one. I think it's like,
I don't even know what the flavor is. Sweet cream? Sweet cream, yeah. I've seen, like Raven's always talking about it. Delicious. Okay, I'll get it.
And like for me I'm always looking for something to mask the flavor of coffee. Like you put the tiniest splash in here it's water. Like it's amazing. Yeah I just need a little something and I'll have to go get some half and half. But I think the grocery stores are like cleared out. Oh by the way did you like stock up on stuff? Zach went yesterday. I wanted to get some beans just in case I feel like pulled to make a chili. Making a chili. Yeah um I'll try and pick up a few items later today.
It's crazy out there. I know. I mean even just like the rain. We just had so much weather here. Like can't really be outside or anything. Yeah. It's just a bummer. Jax and Brittany are. You know what? Like good. You'd love to see Brittany out here just like living her life after being subjected to what I can only imagine was like the most torturous years of her life. Like for real. Yeah. Agreed. And their divorce got like super contentious. He had been trying to get
Joint custody, right? Yes. And then he represented himself in court and said like, nevermind. Yeah. Then he like put forth a motion to give Brittany full custody. And then he said that it was an error in the paperwork and that he made a mistake. That he now wants joint. I don't know what he's going for, but that like, that was an error. He's now going for joint. Yeah.
So Valley season two can't come fast enough. Valley can't come fast enough. Sheena was on Watch What Happens Live and Andy was like, you know, what'd you do this summer? Like, are you, do you hang out or talk to Sandoval? She said, no. Ariana, no. Katie, no. She said, I have the worst relationship with Katie out of everyone. And he was like, have you been hanging out with the people from the Valley? And she was like, yeah, a lot. And he was like, well, we see you on there. Like he literally knows he's the producer. And she was like, we'll see you.
Well, we saw her on season one. Like, her and Lala go to the parties and stuff. It's just a matter of, like, how much involvement. But she doesn't, like, do confession. Right. Like, that's up to the producers. Are you ready for our next story? No. Okay. No. It's the next story that's brought to you by Skims. Yes.
Okay, when it comes to bras, we all have different needs, right? I feel like I definitely have more needs than the average woman because I have huge breasts. I've fluctuated in weight my whole life. So they're not like, you know, standing upright on their own at attention. So I just am always looking for real bras, you know, bras for real women. And I've found like over the years, seriously, no one's making good bras. And then Skims and their t-shirt bra, which seriously fixed my back problems. Now anytime I need a bra, like Skims is one of my places. I love their bras. Every single night I sleep in there like,
I call it a relaxation bra. I think it's technically like the jersey racer back bra. I love for all different, if I need like super, super like tough support, if I need more of a relaxed fit, but I can't just like not wear a bra, I love skims. So they are comfortable, flattering. They've helped solve so many of my back problems and my breasts like really look gorgeous. That's at least that's what everyone's saying.
So the bra that I got first that was like my foray into Skims bras and that really helped with a lot of my back problems is the Fits Everybody T-shirt bra. It's really the best bra I've ever owned. They make my boobs look so great. Keeps my natural shape. And it doesn't have like a ton of padding. I just need to, like my boobs lifted. Like that's literally all I need. I think what everyone really loves about Skims is they have so many sizes. And really the key to a good bra is knowing your size. And I know you think like you know your size. You don't. You don't.
The size system at Skims is so fabulous and there's truly sizes for everyone. They go up to 30, they go from 30A to 46H.

Thank you, SauceChart. You are so welcome. Our next story, Luke Bryan is clarifying something.
Clarifying. Clarifying some comments that he made talking about Beyonce's CMA snub. So yesterday or the day before he was on Radio Andy. Like last week. Saying, talking about the snub, which we have discussed. And he shared his thoughts on like why she might have been snubbed. And this is what he said then.
So his original comment to Andy encouraged, quote, everybody coming in and making country albums. He concluded his thoughts by saying that he doesn't think necessarily an artist will or should get nominated solely for making a country album. He said, quote, sometimes a lot of great music is overlooked just because she made one, a country album. Just because I make one, I don't get any nominations. I think the CMA, they have their voting body and they vote what they think should make it. Everybody loved that Beyonce made a country album. Nobody's mad about that. More so that, um,
Like she didn't get into the country, the world of country. He said like, come play with us. Like do the rounds, go to country radio, do interviews, be a part of the CMA family. It's not just enough in his opinion to like release an album that's technically of the country genre. Right. And also-
So perhaps that's his opinion, but also like him just trying to make sense of why she wasn't nominated. I think that's like, I think, I think his thought was like, that was the CMA's reason for not including Beyonce. Right. Like just cause you make a country album, like anyone can just decide to make a country album. Doesn't mean you're going to get nominated for the country awards. Like you got to get in the mix a little bit.
And to be honest, like I actually don't agree with that. Like if you release a country album, it should be eligible for country awards. But do you agree with that being probably the reason why she wasn't nominated? No, because Beyonce doesn't have to do anything. Like she's fucking Beyonce. Like what, she's going to go to like a random radio station and start doing interviews like everybody else? Like she's Beyonce. Yeah, not a random radio station, but like there are things. The Opry, perform at the Opry. For what?
That's a nice. She's Beyonce. I know, but like that's a prestigious thing to do. Not, she doesn't have to start at the bottom. Well, I don't think Beyonce made this album to get nominated. I want to say that. I think it was like a statement. She released like a whole, you know, statement on why she, like she had her reasons. Cause she's got her reasons.
um so I don't think Beyonce cares but like I do want to know why like and I don't think that this is the reason like for real okay I think he put forth a decent theory though like not one that you or I had discussed thought of and so then he's clarifying his comments on X because I think people he was getting like a lot of hate for talking about it I right so he said um
He lauded Beyonce and how loyal her fans are. He said, I respect Beyonce. I spend a lot of time supporting other artists. I want everyone to win. He said, quote, he could not let the media create a false narrative, adding that he encouraged everyone to listen to the interview instead of reading clickbait headlines. You will hear my tone and intentions, which were not negative. I don't think his tone or intentions were negative in this. I think he was just like trying to make sense of something for people.
Yeah, and so for Beyonce fans, there is no reason why she shouldn't have been nominated. So anyone trying to come up with a reason, it's like, shut up, you know? Right, right. It's losing...
Yeah. And the thing is, if you know Luke Bryan and you watch him on like American Idol, he's like really a nice guy. Right. And he's not, I don't think he's ever had like beef with another artist. Like he's really like very Hamish in his personal life. He's like very generous. I don't think he's a bad person at all. I think he was just like talking and you know, you're allowed to talk. And I do wonder what other country artists think. And he's one of the biggest ones. And theorizing and also like,
Not trying to just get like assume the worst about the CMAs because he's in the CMA, you know, universe and like he's not trying to make enemies on either side. I think he was just talking about it, which some people didn't like. Yeah, no, he's absolutely allowed to theorize just like all of us. And if anything, he has more insight than any of us. Yeah, yeah.
Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Some exciting book to movie news. Wow, fifth and final. It's all coming to an end. Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll... Do you think that guy in the song was flying private? Who calls a plane a jet plane unless you're flying private? And he's like a big singer. He wrote his song. Was this song before his success? I don't know. I feel like it was private.
Maybe he just needed another syllable. Because I'm leaving on an airplane. Okay, wait. Now it's intentional. He's obviously wealthy in the song. And the girl should run after him. Yeah. Yeah. Get on the plane.
Do you remember when somebody sampled that song? Who's... Cause I'm leaving, never gonna come back again. She found somebody that does it better than he can. No more making you fly. Is it like Jesse McCartney? Let me play it on the G5, G5. I'm leaving. I think it is Jesse McCartney. It is, right? It is, yeah. What's the name of the song? G5. It should be.
Lee. Levin. Okay. Also good. That does it. Levin by Jesse McCartney. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I'm not going to ask you. I'm just going to make, get you ready. Like this isn't, you no longer have a choice on this Tuesday. Jeez. Okay. I'm foisting it upon you. Let's hear it. Colleen Hoover's novel Reminders of Him sets a movie adaptation at Universal for Valentine's Day 2026. Oh, her worst book.
Her worst book. Give us November 9th first. Give us Ugly Love first. Give us... Reminders of Him was actually the last Colleen Hoover book I ever read. I have not read Reminders of Him because like I Colleened too close to the sun for myself after November 9th. That was like too much Colleen for me.
I need to remember the name of the guy in the book. Like, his name bothered me so much. Her name was Kenna, and his name was like... Ledger Ward. Ledger! Ledger Ward is the real juror. Okay, now I'll be checking my phone to look something up. Three missed calls. Like, so urgent. All from potential spam. Like, leave me alone. I know. That's really crazy to call me three times. I know. Get a life. My potential spam is out of control.
And like what lists am I on? I don't know. And I feel like I can sense I got added to one recently because like the tone has changed. Something about like people looking for a job and they think I'm just, it's not good. Are you hiring? Apparently. Apparently.
Ledger Ward, here is the synopsis. It's described as a transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness, and the power of one love to heal even the most shattered heart. The story follows Kenna Rowan, who returns to her hometown. This is something that Jenna Maroney would star in. Who returns to her hometown after serving. Jackie, we can't just move past that statement.
So true. Who returns to her hometown after five years in prison for a tragic mistake. She hopes to reconnect with her young daughter, though everyone is intent on keeping them apart. Only one person in the area hasn't shunned her, and that's the local bar owner, Ledger Ward, who becomes an important part of Kenna's life. The novel published in... AKA, they start fucking. The novel published in 2022 has sold over six and a half million copies globally and has been translated into 45 languages. Holy shit.
I'm sorry. Colleen Hoover is so impressive. I know. And, like, honestly, this book sucks. Like, if you're going to, like, read Colleen Hoover, November 9th, I would love, like, so good. Six and a half million people. Like, those are all the people who, like, loved It Ends With Us, loved Verity, loved...
November 9th and then what do you think is her biggest book it ends with us yeah and then plus the movie makes it her biggest book I think number two maybe is it starts with us but then Verity comes after that I would say but like people fall down a Colleen Hoover rabbit hole and then start reading all of her old works so like reminders of him like six and a half million people like are at that place they say that more than 10 million copies of It Ends With Us has been sold I feel like it's more
And that's like an old, like not old, but it's before the movie came out. Let me look up Verity. I think it goes, It Ends With Us and then Verity. I don't know if It Starts With Us was that popular. No, but like. Oh, Verity, it says over three and a half million. When was that? Gemini, Google AI over you. Oh, people said you can't always trust it. Everyone's trying to ruin my good time. That's why. Yeah. Well, well, well. I'm just looking. Sorry. What do you think is? Yeah. Justice for Layla. I thought that was a decent book.
That's like the only one I haven't read. She tried to get spooky and put a ghost in there. It's October. So if you want to read a ghost book, read Layla. And it was a Redheads book. So there's an episode on it. When I was watching the Kansas City game last night, I was like watching cable, which I don't watch a lot. And there was a commercial for like free forms. 30, 31 days of what? No, what was it like? You remember how like ABC family? Yeah. Like spooky nights. Yeah. Halloween. And then they do the 12 days of Christmas. Yeah.
The warmth that commercial like seriously put in me. I was immediately like seven and we were laying in the den. Like we used to watch all those movies. Like I love that they're still doing that for the kids. Yeah. Speaking of cable, we were kind of on cable last night. We didn't even talk about this. Oh my God. Not me getting DMs being like, they're talking about you on the MSNBC Jen Psaki show. I'm like, excuse me. Is it? I think so. The P is silent. The P is silent. I believe. Socky.
I was like immediately like, oh great, what did she say about us? - Yeah, no scary. And you texted me by the way, I didn't get one message. - Jackie, I don't think you have your messages on. - So I have my messages limited. You can't reply to my stories. - Not Jackie complaining she doesn't get any messages because you literally have them limited. - If you follow me, you can go to my profile and hit message. - Who does that? Like everybody just responds to stories. - I don't have response to stories. It's not good for my mental health.
By the way, do you, sis? But then don't complain that, like, you don't get messages. Yeah, no, I still get people. The people can find a way to reach me. Plus, I have my DMs open with thousands from over the years. Oh, not the thousands. So me and my community, we can reach each other. But yeah, it's not good for my mental health, positive or negative comments. Like, of course, you think negative. I don't want to see people, like, reacting to my stories. But it's also, like, all that affirmation isn't good either. I don't want to, like, post a story and then be waiting. Like, what are people writing to me? Like, I just want to let it sit.
Love that. Well, they had said, Psaki's talking about you. And I was like, great. Like, what do we do now? It just can't be good.
It can't. And then I listened to it and it was actually knapsacky. Like she had a, like a very millennial coded swirly on to like talk about Kamala doing Call Her Daddy and like the impact of traditional, like legacy media versus new media. And then she was like, what other shows do you think would be good? And the girl was like, the toes. Like that's what everybody needs to be doing. And then it got me thinking like, okay, let's say we get reached out to. Like we're going to say yes, right? Like not that, by the way, no one's reaching out. We're just like having a hypothetical game. Like,
We would say yes to either, no to both. Like what would we do? I think the decision would be the same for both of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. However, I don't think if we did one, the other one probably wouldn't come on. I think that's what we were talking about yesterday. Like will Trump do call her daddy? Like, cause Alex said that she put the call out and I don't think it would make sense for him to do the same show twice.
as Kamala, but I then think that his team would start thinking about like, that is a good audience to reach women that sect to do a show that's similar in demographic. And then the question is which one? - Right, literally us, sorry. But I thought maybe Kamala would do that. 'Cause you're right, like they wouldn't both do the same one, but if they were like Bernie Sanders and Trump both went on Theo Vaughn back to back.
And like the Obama also had like the president of the team stirs on this week. Like he's at his lunch lady election. Yeah, of course. But no, I mean, recently he's getting like really into the election. Bernie Sanders and Trump, like that's not the same as Kamala and Trump. Like, no, but it's like not that different. Like Bernie's not running for president, but like he did. Yeah. But no, that's just, no, I don't think they really could ever do the same. I don't think it's good. Great strategy. Yeah. And the thing that the beauty of podcasts are there so many, right?
It's true. And the beauty of like being that big of a platform is like you're bringing the listeners with you. Like it really doesn't matter how big the show you go on. That's true. Well, no, but you do want to reach if a podcast has like a huge millennial women audience and that's the demographic you want to reach. Like, no, actually there's value in going on a big female show.
That's true. That's true. We'll just let you know. Just come crazy times. We'll let you know if anybody reaches out to us. Oh, you will. I actually didn't see that being what, not that it's happened at all or probably won't happen, but like when we were talking about it yesterday, that wasn't my like next logical jump is that he would do a show of the similar elk. But that is good strategy. And I learned that on Jen's hockey show. That is good strategy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. With a swirly who is obviously obsessed with the toast, even though she kept calling us the morning toast. Like, girl. She might have left a while ago, but still, thanks for, um.
Thanks for the support and the shout out. Oh my God. I've never seen anybody make a hard hand like that. I'm trying to do like new hard hands because I know like this. I love this one, but I wanted to do like. I love this, but you know how the kids do it these days. I can't do it. Actually, I've got crazy fingers. I can do like more than an octave on the piano. I could probably do it. Wait, I feel like I'm having a stroke. No, it's like. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's index and middle. Oh, like this, like this. That's cute.
And then when they don't have both hands, Jackie, I feel like a claw in this stuffed animal machine at an arcade. Jackie, when they, Jackie, when they don't have both hands, then they just go like this. That's what I was doing to you the other day. Claudia, I'm sorry. Hard hands are always going to be Selena Gomez. Claudia. Okay. But sorry. Selena Gomez is always going to own the hard hands. Like this is the OJ. It's also tailored. Okay. Do you think we're making a heart? Okay. I'm going to go over. I'm going to go over to the edge of my wall. Cause that's, I'll go. We'll see.
Yeah, we did. That's our show. That's our show. That's our show. That's our show. It's bittersweet after doing an hour 45 yesterday to only do an hour six. We're disgraceful. We are disgraceful.
