Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on this day of the week that we love. That's Friday. That is true. Hey, Jax, how you doing? I'm gird. Gird.

I've got that Friday energy. I've got that frog in my throat, apparently. Not cool. Not indicative of how I'm feeling, which is incredibly swirly. How about you? Well, I'm glad you brought that up because I meant to ask you, do you happen to have that swirlitude? I've got that swirlitude. I've got that swirlitude. Thank God.

I just feel like if you get that reference, like we love you so much. If you get that reference, seriously move in with me. Like that's the energy I need in my home. It's so true. And if you don't get that reference, I'm going to do some explaining because I realized I did something yesterday really crazy, which was talk about Lenny Hochstein's breakup without ever mentioning like who he was, what he's from, like why you should know him. Do people not know Lenny Hoch?

I saw a comment that was like, who are the people in this fifth story? And that's so fair. Cause like we said, Lenny Hochstein, he's not a main character on a show. We said his fiance's name, who you also don't know. And we only said Lisa, like it could be seriously anyone you have to be like so deep in it. So just want to let you know, that's from real house eyes of Miami. Like my B I'm starting to give content. Imagine not knowing who Lenny Hochstein is. Like you probably have so much free time. I'm so happy for you.

So I'm in my giving context era and Swirlitude is a play on gratitude from the Bratz movie. I'm in my straight hair era. It's kind of changing things in which I see the world. A lot of people are commenting on it. You know, we were talking about red nail theory. I'm creating added to the list of theories we're creating. Okay. Straight hair theory.

Okay. And what does the theory entail? Well, it entails like when you, like, I think there are people who are either born with straight hair or straighten their hair every day. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to people who like mostly like curl their hair or have like wavy curly hair. And then every now and then remember like the flat iron exists and straighten their hair for a couple of days. And when you're living, and it can't be all the time. So I'm not going to straighten my hair all the time. But when you're living in that window of straight hair, like everything is easier. Everything is lighter. You look so young, but it only works if you don't do it all the time.

That's straight hair theory. Okay. I've got it. You should straighten your hair, even though I feel like you do. I do. I never straighten my ends, though, which is why, like, maybe I should straighten my ends one time and just shake you all to the core. Yeah, very Avril Lavigne-stein of you. Yeah, but I do actually use a flat iron most days. Okay, so I learned the craziest thing last night that I need to tell you about. Mm-hmm.

Okay, I'm listening. So I'm sad. I'm sad, as the kids say. I went to Veronica Beard Fashion Week party. And it was so fabulous. It was at the Nines, by the way. Like our favorite restaurant. Like really swanky. Where I had my birthday. Yeah, really swanky. Star-studded. Like the girlies were out. Shailene Woodley. I literally thought it was Grace Van Patten from Tell Me Lies. And I was like, wait. I couldn't tell who was who. Shailene Woodley, Cammie Marotta, my favorite girl from Ginny and Georgia. Sophia Bush. Like really poppin'.

Is Sophia Bush your favorite girl from Ginny and Georgia? My favorite girl from Ginny and Georgia, Sophia Bush, lots of people were there. Thank you for the clarification. And of course, who was at the Veronica Beard party? Veronica Beard herself. And, you know, Ben is like friends with her. And so we went over, we gave her a big hug. She was super nice.

And then, like, the night went on and they, like, had a performer. So Veronica Beard went up. And she kept referring to her and this other person as the Veronica's, which I thought was, like, so funny. Like the band, you know? And then I was like, wait. I'm, like, missing something. Something wasn't adding up for me. Jackie, do you know that there are two Veronica Beards? Their names are Veronica Beard. And they both started the company together. So...

How did they meet? At a Veronica convention? No, both of their names are Veronica and they married brothers. So then they all both became Veronica Beard. Beard is not their maiden name. It's their married name. And they met through their husbands. Yes, like through being in-laws. I thought you were going to say that it's two Veronica's and it's the Veronica's from childhood and they run Veronica Beard. Ha ha!

I fucking wish that's a better end to the story. And also, or the musical guest was the Veronica. Oh my God. I wish the musical guest was banks, which was cool. But I would like when they said, Oh, we're the Veronica's. I was like, wait, I knew that there were like musical performers. So I was like, and then I wanted to pitch the idea to them, but like they were busy and they probably didn't want to hear my stupid ideas. But I was like, next time, maybe you guys should try and get the Veronica's. I feel like they're not that expensive. They're kind of like out of work.

For sure. Hopefully like a PR swirly on Team Veronica. Oh, I met the PR swirlies from Team Veronica. They are all swirlies. And hopefully they're toasters and they're listening. They're like next year Veronica's ex Veronica's. No, that would be huge. What a great name, Veronica. Like your name isn't Veronica and you don't not have a great, like a big personality. Not only that, like your name is Veronica. I'm like, you are successful. You are bold. You have an amazing personality. You're bold. I think like the Archie comics really sort of set the standard for girls named Veronica. I don't,

know any girls named Veronica. I kind of love it. I think that's the problem in our life that we don't know any Veronica's. Also the movie Heathers set the standard for girls named Veronica. So that was the first thing I wanted to tell you. Just like a fun fact that I found out that I thought was fun. I really love that name. The more I know it's so strong. It's so strong. Like you don't have to worry if your kid's going to have a personality if you give them the name Veronica. Like it's coming through. And then like they get called Ronnie which I think is really cute too.

It is. Okay. So then the second thing I wanted to share, and I'm sure everyone's sort of like waiting with bated breath to hear how my thumb appointment went. I actually am...

I am. I'm speaking in double negatives today because I was about to say I'm not like not waiting with bated breath. Which is like such an annoying way to talk. So like all is to say I am waiting with bated breath. I hate to let everyone down. The x-ray was inconclusive. The bones in my hand look good, which is obviously a good thing. No broken bones. If the bones are good, the rest don't matter. So it's probably a nerve issue. And I went to a doctor. Are you nervous? Yeah. I went to a doctor where this has happened to me before where like there's like a resident in the room.

You know, they're like shadowing. I think it's often like when your doctor's like at a hospital or something. I don't know. So there was like a young guy and like,

I don't like that. I feel like you should be able to opt out of it. Like it's personal what goes on in this facility. And the first time. Claudia, there was a resident in the room when I had like my 39 week checkup when I was pregnant, like going into the cervix to see how dilated I was. Like he's standing at the end of the table. And honestly, like I'm too tired to complain or be like, hey, that's a little weird. I was

I just was like, I hope you don't remember this. When I was in the 10th grade, I had an issue in my tushy.

I'll just leave it at that. And I had to go to a doctor. And there was a resident in the room during the inspection. Is the resident in the room with us? No, and I know that it's just like a part of life we've all accepted. But I do feel like there should be an opt-out form. But then it's like, how are people supposed to become doctors if everybody's opting out? It's not a perfect system, but I don't know. To be honest, that's not my problem. You know what I mean? Like...

- Totally. - Figure it out another way. - A thousand percent. And you know what? Yesterday I wouldn't have opted out. It was just my hand, right? And I would love, and honestly, this guy was really smart, but they were literally teaching, the doctor was teaching him. - No, and it's like, I'm on my time now. You're cutting into my time. - And it's like a lecture that I didn't ask for. I just like need my hand fixed. - Did it help you understand what was going on? - No, low key, the resident was so smart. He was like, yeah, it's the EMG or whatever. I was like, okay.

It was all good. It was my hand. I'm not embarrassed. Like, not a big deal. But it did, you know, make me wonder how we got to this place where we don't give consent.

And you can drop out of being a resident and like you're not a full doctor yet. Right. So you can drop out and then tell everybody what you saw. No, I think that they've always asked, like, by the way, we have a resident. Do you mind if he like watches in? And that's such an innocuous thing that like who's going to say no until you're like lying on the table with a hand up your cooter being like, who are you? Yeah. No, your story is really crazy. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

And when I was in the 10th grade, but I'm just like teaching the future of America. What can I say? Well, I just know that. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to, I like buried the lead when that thing happened in my tushy in the 10th grade, there was like four residents. And the thing I was experiencing was kind of like a medical mystery. I feel like I was on an episode of house. Like they couldn't figure it out. Um, and they had all these different like people coming in to look at my tushy. Thank God I got it like worked out. Um, but that was definitely a low.

Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, like four residents. In situations like that, you just kind of have to like take yourself out of the room like mentally. Like this is not my body. They will not remember me. No, you have to really identify with what are those things called that start with a C that you use in medical school, like the dead bodies that donate their body to science, like a carcass. No, like a...

Cadaver. You just have to embrace your inner cadaver and move on. No. And you also just have to say like, I'm moving medicine forward. Like I am the future of science. Right. I will go down in history for my contributions to this field. Your contributions to medicine. They're going to publish me in the New England Journal of Medicine. Like that's sort of what you have to do.

Yeah, so we're all really local heroes. So all's I have to say, I have to go get a nerve test like 150 blocks uptown. I haven't made the appointment yet. I'm really hoping this thing resolves itself. He did say it's a nerve issue that like the worst possible case is surgery, but a lot of times it like resolves itself. But it's been a long time that I've been having this issue. Not that like anyone cares about my problems, but that's just sort of what I've been dealing with.

Maybe by the time you make the appointment, it'll resolve itself. A lot of people thankfully said it off in the comments yesterday. They said they just got like a steroid shot and it like fixed it. Yeah, I feel like now that you know the x-ray was fine, like you were worried that something really bad was going on. But like now that you know that it's not anything that bad, probably gives you a bit of peace of mind. And maybe you've been like munch housing yourself and thinking your thumb is really bad. Don't gaslight me. It is really bad. No, no, I believe you. But sometimes like your mindset...

can really set your reality. - That's actually so true. I was having this conversation with a friend of mine who's been dealing with like a chronic illness.

And like he's been to a million doctors, can't get it diagnosed. And he said, which I thought was extremely self-aware. And he's like, and I'm also making it worse. Like with my mindset being toxic, like I'm thinking I'm sicker than I am. Like I definitely have something going on. Like I can't figure out. They thought it was like acid reflux, whatever. But like my toxicity is contributing to the illness, which I thought was an extremely self-aware thing to say. Yeah, like stress and anxiety are not good for your health. So true. That's why it's important that we take vacations as much as we can.

And why you listen to the toast to uplift your mood. 1,000%. So I feel good about that. Any big medical advancements made for you yesterday? No, not anything major. That's good. In the medical sphere, which is good. In the medical sense. No news is good news. Yeah. In that sense. We're both showing arms on the pod today. Hashtag brave. We are. In like a low-key sort of way. What do you call this type of sleeve? It's like, no, no, no. It's on cap.

It's like it's baggy cap. Baggy cap. Yeah, I like that. So is mine, which I like don't love, but it is hot here. But I wanted to wear like an outfit, not just like shorts and a T-shirt. That's not an outfit. I'm saying this and I don't do it, but like we really just need to like let go. Do you know what I mean? Of like all of our spilkas. In regards to? Like our bodies, you know? Oh, so I should be sitting here in shorts and a T-shirt? It's not about my body. No, no. You were saying like...

that your arms are out, you're like not loving it. Like we just need to like let go and let God. Cause like either do something about it or don't, you know? And also like one day my arms will be bigger and I'll look back on this episode and been like, what gargi arms she had. That's so important to remember that you could always like, you might be a reference point for your future self. So like be happy now. And if one day my arms are smaller, I'll look back on this episode and be like, wow, I've come so far. Right. It can either like, it can like, that's such a positive outlook. I love that.

Yeah. Either way, like it gets better. It gets better. Also, yesterday was such a busy day. We recorded an interview for the shows that we're going to drop next week. Someone really special. I had so much fun. I'm so excited for people to listen to it. I'm also glad we did it. Like we had a lot of questions for this person and they were answered. Yeah. I feel like very satisfied. Satisfaction is the feeling. And this is a person I had never met. And I also just wanted to see like what they were like in IRL. I liked it. Good vibes. Good vibes. GV. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, well that comes out next week. So stay tuned. Stay sat for that. We've got a great show. I think we have to get into the stories because the other big thing that happened in the evening was football returned, tailored, took to the Chiefs game. So we're going to get into it in the Fast Five Stories that you need to know. I raced home, literally raced home to catch the second half. Like we are so like Fashion Week in football.

Today's episode is brought to you by Dr. Teal's, a new sponsor here, but not a new product because Jackie and I love Dr. Teal's. Bath time is so important to me and the products, I don't skimp.

I think there are certain places where you don't have to have, you know, the best of the best. Bath time is super important to me. I love Dr. Teal's. I've been using their body wash, their...

Epsom salts for years. And then being a sponsor of the toes, it's kind of a huge deal for us. It is. It's toe full circle. It is. And we used it all summer long. We had like a huge box sent to the house because we literally can't live without their products. So recover and relax with Dr. Teal's. They're powered by magnesium and essential oils. That's why Ben loves it. Ben is obsessed with magnesium. His sister told him about it like a couple of years ago. Now he looks for magnesium and everything. He like takes it before bed. He loves the Dr. Teal's products.

They have pure Epsom salts, foaming baths, a variety of other wellness products. I love their foaming bath products, but I also use their body wash and then like make myself a bubble bath with it sometimes. It's so good. It'll be love at first bath. Just feel the Dr. Teal's difference with just one bath. Now I'm a bath person, even if you're not, because Ben loves to shower. We have their products in all the bathrooms in our house. I cannot recommend Dr. Teal's enough.

The magnesium is fabulous. The essential oils are fabulous. For their pure Epsom salts and foaming baths, being powered by magnesium is a real game changer. And there's just a difference with Dr. Teal's. The relaxation, the muscle recovery. I take a bath after every single workout and I always use Dr. Teal's and I feel like it makes a really big difference in my recovery. So find Dr. Teal's at Walmart or at any major retailer near you. It's fabulous. Like you can trust me on bath things, you know? Dr. Teal's is the GOAT.

As the kids say. As the kids say. The goat rapper bath salt. Exactly. Our first story, the big news of the evening. Chiefs versus Ravens. Tailored in the stadium. Rocking the stadium at Arrowhead watching her mans play. The Chiefs won, which is like, you know, a subplot here. The main plot is that she was there. She was looking gargi-pargi. Like, looking hot. Yeah, we need to talk about... H-O-T hot. We need to talk about, like, the sexiness, right? Because...

I feel her outfits are always speaking to us. She uses her clothing definitely to signal new music, to remark on what era she's in. And like, she's in her hot wag era. Like I was shook at the patent leather over the knee boots, booty shorts and tight denim corset. She looked so hot.

Yeah, she really, really did. And you just know she just wants to like show out and like shake her titties for her man. And I loved that. I loved it. Yeah. She was in the box with Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey, Donna and Ed. It is like a crazy outfit to wear next to your boyfriend's dad. Like that made me think for a second.

For sure. I just feel like I would be so, but she's also like on stage, you know, she's, I feel like she's very comfortable in herself. Maybe we're just like insecure losers. Well, not maybe we are. And that's like reflected in how we talk and what we say. Right. Like we can barely show our arms. So true. Without like talking about it and like, my God, we're such losers. No. Um,

I felt this overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Like, I forgot how much fun I had last year during football and how I really started to like football, but also, like, the tailor of it all. And just, like, getting home, I got into bed, and the game was, like, delayed, and it started kind of late, so it was not even... Oh, because there was, like, a tornado rush? Something, but it was, like, the middle of the second quarter. I was like, oh, I didn't even miss anything. Nothing happens in football until the fourth quarter. Like, I'm on my phone, seriously, until the fourth quarter. And then the fourth quarter, I'm sad. Nothing matters before that. Deadass. Oh.

Because they all stay like pretty with each other within whatever. And then it's time during the fourth quarter. But like seeing all the footage, like I just loved how much fun we had last year and how it brought people together. And it was like this weekly thing we were all doing. And that sense of nostalgia just sort of washed over me. And I felt so happy last night, like going to bed with a smile on my face. Yes. And the Chiefs won, which is great.

For the Chiefs. Well, as an empath, it was really hard because this was like Lamar Jackson. Oh, I was trying to tell Ben this fun fact you had told me about the first game of football of the season, but I couldn't remember. You told me that the first scheduled game of the NFL season is always what the Super Bowl could have been, like the two losing teams. Do you know what I mean? Did I say that? Maybe you didn't. I feel like you did. Who was in the Super Bowl last year? The Chiefs versus the 49ers. The 49ers. So is this like what the Super Bowl would have been if the...

Ravens had beat the 49ers in their league. But I think maybe the Chiefs. No, if the Chiefs had beat the, yeah, the Chiefs beat the Ravens. Yeah, right. So maybe it's just like, and then it's tomorrow, the Eagles and the. 49ers or today or tomorrow. Today, today, today, today. They're playing in Brazil, the Eagles. How stupid is that? On a Friday night. No, tonight is the Packers. Like I seriously, I don't get it. You had told me like a fun fact about the first NFL game.

Oh, well, I hope that I can recall what it was. That sounds fun, but I have no recollection. I feel like Zach told it to you. Maybe you can ask him what I'm talking about. Okay, I will. But it might be like the thing about the Super Bowl rematch. Like,

Sometimes they do a game that doesn't count towards the season and it will be like she's first 49ers again. Oh, just like how last year, maybe I'm making stuff up last year. Chiefs versus Eagles played like just for fun, just for shits and giggles. We are so back with our uninformed NFL takes like seriously. We're back. It feels good. I feel like a lot of girls. So like are learning on the job, whether it's because they're fans of Taylor switch or just like their day

dating someone or married to someone who's into football. So like we're getting an education alongside our partners. And I feel like you're probably just asking a lot of questions too. Like never stop asking why there's no such thing as a dumb question. No, but you know what? There are like, not to be like a hater, but there then are like girls who have been watching football for a while and they are like, oh, you guys seriously like stop talking about football. It hurts my ears. Like shut the fuck up. Okay. Like you're so...

It's giving pick me. It's getting not like other girls. Like I drink beer and watch football. Like we're trying to learn. And there's always people who like join the conversations being like, I've been watching football like with my dad for a year. So you guys don't know what you're talking about. Well, why don't you go away? Why don't you go watch with your dad? Because we don't want to watch with you. We are learning on the job. We're listening and we're learning actually. Yeah. So that'll be fun though if the Chiefs and the 49ers play each other again like for shits and giggles. And then we got a picture of Taylor and Travis like leaving. He was wearing his cool outfit. She was wearing her cool outfit post game, post win. I just...

Honestly, as the great Ali and AJ once said, it's the greatest time of year and it's here. Let me celebrate it. That's what we're doing. What do you think about her decision not to bring any friends like she usually does?

Like she really showed up so low. Cause I feel like last season there was a lot going on in football. Like the football world is really intimidating and you like, you bring your friends with you as sort of like security blankets, right? A hundred percent. And you're meeting his family. Maybe you don't know them so well, but now it's like, this is all potentially it could be her family and she feels comfortable. It's like enough to go with the dad or the mom. It's not as big of a deal. That's what I think.

Okay. Because then she got to a place where she stopped bringing friends because she had Brittany. And Brittany was her girl. And they would like be in the suites together. But I don't think she needs that anymore. And she has Brittany because Brittany is always going to be there. But I don't know. I think she's feeling comfortable. And her outfit was sort of reflective of that too, right? Yeah. Yeah.

And she was with some of the other wags last night that they had posted on their social media videos of her. She seemed very happy and exactly what you would think when your man's wins a big game. No, it's a great way to keep up the season. I'm so glad my Travi made it to the big game. One step closer to Kelsey being my last name. I like the name. I know she would never because she's such like a modern woman. She'll never change her name. And like from a business perspective, she shouldn't. It's stupid. But like Taylor Kelsey, so cute.

So cute. But I mean, if Kim Kardashian West could do it. Yeah. It could be done. People forget because Taylor is like, you know, a woman, you know, a modern woman. She's so traditional. She's like a hopeless romantic love story. You know, I feel for her whole life. I'm just saying, like, I didn't think Kim could do it or even would have thought that she should do it, but she did it.

She had her name on all her makeup. She made it all KKW. It's true. It can be done. It's all I'm saying, but not saying that she should. Not saying that she should. And she's so, like, her name means everything to her. Yeah. I really resonate with that on a much smaller level. Like, my name is everything to me. Mm-hmm. I loved, I just loved, loved, loved every minute of last night. Yeah. And I'm excited to be back, back in the football groove. Yeah, just be doing more of it.

Yeah, like this weekend, football Sunday. Oh, I was looking at the schedule coming up, 49ers Jets. Is Aaron back? Yeah. Is he not? I don't know. We'll find out. I think he's back. I should have asked Shailene last night when I saw her. Oh my God. She's really beautiful. She's like the type of person, I don't think I've ever seen her in person. She looks very different in person. Like not like she does in the movies or on the red carpet. She's insanely beautiful.

Nice. You saw what Aaron sees in her? Oh, I saw what Aaron. Although, I don't know. Being at New York Fashion Week doesn't give the vibe that you're giving up all your material items. Remember when she said she was doing that? Yeah, but also being at New York Fashion Week, like, are you going home to Aaron's in New Jersey? Oh my God, so true. Like, what brings you to town? Possible opportunity to reconnect. Yeah. We're so toxic. Are you ready for our next story? Yes.

Another one of our queens, Stassi Schroeder, sitting down with Bustle, revealing past self-harm battle and how she shudders when her three-year-old daughter notices her scars. So Stassi Schroeder is talking about herself, her future, her book, and she revealed that she previously engaged in self-harm and she struggles with how to relay that information to her three-year-old daughter, Hartford.

She discussed her mental health journey in her upcoming book, You Can't Have It All, and she explained why she chose to share that part of her life in this new article. She said,

She added that part of the reason she's chosen to have a career in podcasting and reality TV is because there's this feeling of I'm free. Everybody knows my shit. I don't have to hide anything. She also said that she decided to tell her story about self-harm because her daughter began noticing her scars. She said, quote, when I look at myself naked, Hartford will see a little line and she'll be like, mommy, ouchie. Oh God, that feels dirty. How will I ever explain to her that this was something that I chose? She said. Oh my, that's so sad. Yeah. But her book,

Just arrived here. I have one for you. I'm so excited to read it. Her books are great. They are really great. She also talks in the book about her past addiction to Adderall, which is not something that I knew. It's not something I knew either, but Craig Conover talked about it in his book, how he... And I think that a couple of years ago when Vanderpump Rules had gotten really popular, they did this...

Bravo special where they all like sat down and talked about the early days of Vanderpump Rules and Stassi said and she said it very like flippantly but I think you could tell there was more to it they were also broke and they were like dying to be models and dying to be on TV and they had no money for food they would just like literally take Adderall because they couldn't afford food and it got them all into like really bad um

And so this isn't surprising to hear. Yeah. She, she has this article mentions that she has previously spoken about it. I just, that's not something that I knew, but I also feel like, and we've definitely talked about this before, how like,

Adderall usage and also like drinking, like how it coupled, like with the lifestyle style of a reality TV star, it's like being awake all day, drinking all night, getting up early, filming again. Like you don't have all of that energy usually in you. And like, I feel like it's an easy road to go down when that is your job. Yeah. So she also talks about how that, um,

the abuse of it like caused several of the dark passenger outbursts that we have seen. - Yeah, sure, right. - 'Cause it also like makes you tense and irritable and angry and coupled with drinking and intense schedules and drama, like it's a lot. - Yeah, well, she looked insane in this photo shoot. Like so grudgy-pargy. Loving the like moment she's having with the book and the reality show. I didn't know these things. So I think that's like awesome that she shared it. And I just love her.

Yes, me as well. Looking forward to the book. Me too. And the cover is really, it's a very pretty book. Yeah, it is. All of her covers and her titles are 10 out of 10. It's really kind of crazy and underrated that this is her third book. Like nobody gets, like, I don't know anybody's written three books. About themselves. Themselves. Without being...

I don't know, I guess a writer, but she is a writer. That's like her, like when we met her on Manor Pump Rules, like she was also blogging, like writing is in her DNA. But still to write almost like three memoirs in a 10 year period that you're saying something and people are liking what you're saying and like that you have all of that to share is a major talent. Yeah, but you have to think about how like, okay, the first book was like her first book ever. So you write about your whole life. Second book, she went through this enormous scandal, which gives you tons of material to write about.

Then she became a mom of two, which is what the third book is about. Like she really keeps evolving. So it's not like you're writing the same book three times. No, no. And she's not. But like for one person to write three books about themselves in 10 years, like is a feat.

- I can't wait to read it, especially 'cause it is a lot about motherhood. And I think her take on motherhood and it's literally called, you can't have it all is not a POV that we get often. We either get like, you can have it all or lean in or this or that. And I'm really excited to hear what she has to say. And she talks a little bit about it when she was on the toast with me, like about this philosophy that she has, which is that like, yeah, things are going to suffer.

can't do everything. If you want to be a present mom and you want to be a working mom, like there are going to be things that you miss on both ends. And like, yeah, we only have 24 hours in a day. Yeah. Like that's just facts. Right. So can't wait to read it. Same. Are you ready for our next story? I am. Which is not a category that typically makes news. However, for this person and this person.

It's news because King Kylie has returned to her King Kylie era with blue hair. So Kylie posted on Instagram, some selfies of her with her famous blue hairstyle and she captioned it. What was it? Teal the end of time. No, this was major throwback.

I feel like once again it's a wig. I feel like even if she winds up wearing teal for like six months it's a wig because I think it really harms your hair to like go back and forth with hair colors. But like when she did that pink hair selfie I was like oh that's just like for a photo shoot. That's not her hair and it wasn't. I just feel like Kylie sits around in her house and like does whatever she wants and she just wanted to fuck around with either a wig or semi-permanent whatever and I

Like that's it. I think a lot of people are looking so much into this. Like King Kylie is returning. Like I just think she wanted to dye her hair. Do you think the next picture, oh, you think she dyed, like do you think the next picture of her is going to have teal hair? Or like this is just like for a photo shoot moment. She didn't show us her scalp, did she? Or she was like playing with her old wigs. No, she was wearing a hat. Oh, then it's a wig. Yeah. And she was at the sushi park wearing a hat. She was spotted. I think it's a wig too. I think it's a wig, yeah. And it should be a wig. Yeah.

Because it's a lot to like do on your hair. But this particular shade of teal like seriously changed a generation. Do you remember when she had this color hair at Kim's wedding and she was like so mad? Yeah. Kim was not wrong for that. No, she was not wrong. Thankfully, like it wound up being like a very iconic hairstyle. And for Kylie to be in the photos with that hair, like it's more than just like Kim's wedding photos. Yeah, it's reflective of a moment in time. But she was not wrong for that.

I feel like a lot of people are making more of this than what it is. Like they think it's just some signaling to like a whole revamp of Kylie Cosmetics. Like I just think like she expresses herself through hair and makeup and like she was feeling a little crazy. Yeah. And she was like playing with her wigs and was like, oh, this would be fun. People will love that. She definitely kept the iconic colors and the iconic wigs somewhere. And maybe she like was cleaning out her garage and found it.

But we do need to see a picture of her scalp to know if. For sure. Right. I do agree that I think it's a wig. She really dyed her hair. I think her hair has gotten to such a great place like in the last few years because she hadn't been coloring it and she's just growing it. I don't think she would. Risk it all. Jeopardize that and dye her whole head. Sushi Park. What do you think she ate?

Hopefully like something good. If we ever go to LA, like I need to start a list. Like we need to go to sushi park. 1000%. Ben needs to go to sushi park and give a review. Yeah. Cause I don't even know what I would eat there. Right. And how would you know if it's any better if it's just like white rice? Totally. Like anyone can do that. I can judge a facility based on their rice. That is a talent of mine, but I hear what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. I'm hungry. I,

I am always hungry. It's just sort of a byproduct of my post-Ozempic life. And let me say, I'm not enjoying it whatsoever. I'm sorry. Well, we'll get to the next story so I don't keep making you hungry. Is the next story about food? No. Do we have any food news today? We do not.

- Thank God. Friday is so food news coded. Today's episode of The Toast is supported by State Farm. We know the toasters can agree that nothing feels better than a personal win. Like when you get a final piece of furniture delivered to your apartment and your home really feels complete, you hit a personal best in a workout, perhaps you're running, perhaps a 5K. Well, whatever it is that makes you feel good. Jackie, what's like a personal win you've had recently? - Home cooked dinner every single night this week. That was my goal for the week and I'm about to make beef bourguignon tonight and then I'm five for five.

Oh, you stole my little riff. No, but today, this next story is, again, something that, like, might have not been news on the toast, but because of the person that it's about, one of our favorite people, so underrated now that we're on our Desperate Housewife journey, like, she's so top of mind. And that's Madison De La Garza, who plays Juanita Solis. Listen, no matter what time of year I'm in, like, I am wanting to hear news about the girl who played Juanita, whose name is Madison De La Garza, who was also Demi Lovato's stepsister. Yeah.

You guys need to know that she's Demi Lovato's little sister. She plays Eva Longoria's daughter on Desperate Housewives in an iconic role of Juanita Solis. And Madison de la Garza is pregnant and expecting her first baby with her boyfriend, Ryan Mitchell. You're literally lying. Sorry to make you feel old today. Oh my God, how old is she? It's 22. And she posted a photo on social media holding her baby bump while posing with her boyfriend actor, Ryan Mitchell. Oh my God.

oh my god Madison did like Garza is pregnant like I'm not okay Juanita Solis like we actually we should start another list because I actually think this is a good list of like I don't even know what the right word is like not iconic characters but like characters from random TV shows like who are perfect yeah I agree that do you know what I mean and it's not the obvious ones it's not like you know Eva Longoria it's Juanita Solis

Yeah, but also something that like- It's kind of like goat supporting characters. We'll get there, but something that's also like one of my Roman empires is like Juanita Solis is Demi Lovato's little sister. Oh, it's my Roman empire. I have never stayed there. Like I never moved past that. We were watching Juanita Solis like and Sunny with a Chance at the same time. And we had no idea.

Yeah and life was good. Also her being 22 makes me realize like we watched Desperate Housewives when we were so young. Like we probably didn't understand half of what was really going on. Yeah I feel like now we're having that experience. Yeah. Okay do you have anyone else other than Juanita Solis to add to the list right now? You don't have to. No but like I want to think like what I'm thinking of because again like everybody loves Blair Waldorf but that's not what I'm talking about. Derrota is who you're talking about. Yeah but she's not I don't I don't like that. What's a show like I recently had a renaissance with?

I'll figure it out. The list will always be here for you. Yeah. Juanita Solis has such a special place in my heart. And if she wasn't Demi Lovato's sister, it wouldn't change that. But the fact that she is just makes it all the better. It like changes everything. And I say this like with utmost genuine and utmost love, like Mazel Tov on this huge milestone for you, Juanita. I'm sorry, Madison. Like to me, she will always be Juanita. Yeah. Mazel Tov. Like that character was just everything.

It she seriously was. And it's crazy. She never continued acting because she clearly was extremely talented. Yeah. Well, she's obviously very happy in her personal life. Yeah. And that will mean Demi is going to be an auntie. Love that.

Love that. I actually was on, I wound up on Demi Lovato's Instagram page the other night, like catching, catching up with her because I follow her, but like, I just, cause she does like cooking videos. So I was like, okay, like what's Demi cooking? What was she cooking? And what is she up to otherwise? So she's doing a lot of cooking content on Instagram. She gets a lot of views.

She has like hundreds of millions of followers. Yeah. She like redid her album of, you know, her songs of like punk rock. And nobody cared. So she's like, I'm just like in her content creation era. Love that. I think she has a relationship. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She looks good. She looks healthy. Like my Roman Empire is the fact that Demi Lovato like was on the brink of death and is now like fully functioning. It's the craziest thing. Yeah. Really? Really? Yeah.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story, which is in two parts? Like I technically am. I just want you to know, like, thank you. Like, thank you for sharing that story with me about Juanita. Like, that's really crazy. Yeah. No, we need to know what the major milestones in Madison Delgado's life. And that's what separates the toast from every other pop culture podcast out there. Like no one was going to pick that up as a story. And that's what's wrong with the world. Yeah. It's so true. Sick, twisted world. What publication wrote that up?

People magazine. Classic. Perfect. Perfection. Perfection. Our fifth and final story is in two parts because it's a bit of Kardashian news. Okay. They like seriously. I was thinking about them the other day. I don't know what to make of them. Even though technically like Kylie is Kardashian news. I don't think of them. Yeah. It's different. Kim Kardashian makes her son Saint sign an extensive contract before starting his YouTube channel.

So Kim's son Saint is a YouTuber for now. She made her eight-year-old son sign an extensive contract before allowing him to create the channel, giving her right to make it private or delete it altogether at any moment. She posted on Instagram that she finally allowed Saint to launch an account on the platform, asking them to please subscribe while also sharing a picture of the contract that she made him sign that's clearly written by her because it's in her handwriting. It's a contract between Saint and Kim's subject YouTube channel. I'm literally finding his channel.

From what we can see, it says it's Saint the Goat is his handle. Oh my God, literally you. It says Saint West...

I, St. West, agree to follow my mom's rules in order to have a YouTube channel. I am not allowed to comment any personal family information. I am not allowed to film any personal information. I am not allowed to film North while North is recording music. Then some of it is covered. And it says, I need to ask a grown-up. I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them. I give permission to show to any grown-up if mom says to delete my video for any reason. If I don't listen to all of the rules, mom can make my page private or delete my account.

I literally can't find his account. Like I'm trying. At the goat saint. Where did she post this? Because it's. It's on her Instagram story, but it's expired. At the goat saint. Shouldn't it just be like youtube.com slash the goat saint? Oh, you said saint the goat. Oh, sorry. My bad. The goat saint. The goat saint channel. I just want to know how many subscribers he has. 11.7k. And oh, he does like gamer type shit. Yeah.

Yeah, so it really shouldn't be like personal family information, which makes me think like she's so cute. I mean, it's cute that she shared this with us. And also like it's giving like lawyer mother. Yeah. But it's like because it's not even videos of him. No one would have ever known if he just like wanted to start a YouTube channel. Yeah, but I think he wants to be successful at it. So yeah.

He needs followers and his mom has billions. Oh, so this is like it's giving nepotism. I do wonder what he who shall not be named thinks of this. Like I think didn't they have a very public feud about the kids on social media? Yeah, but like North has her TikTok. Yeah, but it's Kim's. Like it's North and Kim and it's just both of them. Yeah, but this one seems more... I mean he's eight, but this one seems more innocuous because like you said, like it's just gaming videos. Yeah. So...

Well, that's cute. He is so cute. I thought you were going to say Kardashian story that Cindy Crawford is the new face of Good American. That's number two, which is Cindy Crawford is the new face of Good American. Was shocking. It was shocking. Now, you hit an inflection point as like a Kardashian brand or any sort of like influencer type brand where you're no longer like considered. That's not like Khloe Kardashian's brand, right? And I think they hit that point a really long time ago. Good American is like one of the most underrated Kardashian brands. It's this...

The best jeans, the best clothes. They're in every single store. They're in Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's. They're major. I don't think people talk about it enough as like Khloe's business. Really, they have to be valued at over a billion dollars. Like they crush it. E-commerce, retail, everything. So for Cindy Crawford to be the face of a brand that size, like it's not surprising at all. I don't know why. I just was shocked.

I was shocked too. Cause it's also, it seems more like it's like what Skims does with like iconic faces. But I also feel like the Skims campaigns are like more short term, like per collection. Whereas like, I think this would be a longer thing. And I think it's a great get.

Yeah. And the thing about Good American, it's like, you're right. They never have like spokesperson. They always have the good squad. It's always real people. They're not models. They're just like average looking people, different heights, sizes. And they work with influencers too, which are also like real people. And then Khloe, like that's always been, and it's really worked for them. I think that a lot of people, okay, it's not like high fashion, but it's real.

And people really actually wear their stuff every single day. I have so many things for them. It's really, it's a, I think it's one of my favorite Kardashian brands. It's amazing. And then Cindy Crawford, like, yeah, she's Cindy Crawford, but she is still like of that elk. She's an older woman. She embraces her age. I think that she still has that level of like real that good American is known for. So I think this is really brilliant.

Yeah, I think so too. Except I was shocked because Kourtney commented like, wow, this is incredible. As if she didn't know. And I do wonder because I feel like the girls are so big these days. They actually don't talk to each other.

it's like that's just not just playing like that or it's like yeah good American is like yeah Chloe's business like when they do catch up like do they talk about like who they book for their latest campaign like maybe not I don't know this is like a major milestone for Chloe's company like I could see you doing a brand deal that like was I didn't know you were working with that brand I could be like wow that's incredible okay let's say the brand was like Chanel you would know oh yeah I would I would I would hope yeah

Turdy for Chanel. I see it. I mean, if they want to be a successful company, they would, but they obviously don't. So they'll stay flopping. Chanel X Turt. Turt X Chanel. My name goes first. We actually went to Chanel this summer. We did. And literally, I haven't been to like a store where I literally wanted to buy everything off the shelf. Usually, like, I feel like recently, like things have been ugly in stores. So like, it's easy to like not buy stuff. But like, we were seriously like, not okay. Everything was ugly.

Everything was so cute. But also, the Chanel in East Hampton is like a special store. They get like special items. Oh my God. It was so gargy-pargy. We were like kids in a candy shop. I forgot to mention at the top of the episode, today we also have Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is so exciting. The show is not over. I had the easiest time picking both my Queenie and my Weenie this week. Like for me, there were two people that like anchored the week in positive and negative ways. Oh, wow. Let's start with Queenie. Okay. Okay.

I am tempted to give it to Madison De La Garza this week. Well, I didn't know that she was pregnant when I chose my greenie. Yeah. Yeah.

But I already had my Queenie and it was actually like even more Queenie behavior from Gwyneth Paltrow, who has just been like such a staunch gargi pargi ally to the Jewish people. Like one of the few celebrities who put out like a meaningful statement after the hostages were executed last week. And she just like keeps showing up for us and we don't deserve her. Actually we do. I would love her. I would love her regardless. Me too. But this as if I couldn't love her anymore. Like she is seriously my role model in every sense of the word. I couldn't love her more.

I agree. I wish I went first because like now mine seems like stupid and vapid. But I agree. It's okay. It's yours. And I just want to say like she is a queenie of the week. Like it's supposed to be like light. I know. Because the thing is if we really went like with like hardcore weenies of the week like Sinwar. Bella Hadid would be the weenie of the week. Yeah. No I agree. Yeah. Um.

Okay. Who's your queenie? My queenie is Ines de Ramon. Like, seriously. That's a good one. That's a good one. She... I kept getting tagged all week and people saying that it looked like me. And even if it doesn't, like, that just helped. Like, that made me feel good all week. If I've been carrying this sort of confidence, that's where it came from. I thought she slayed her first big public appearance with her man. I loved everything she wore. I love how she acted. I also recently found out she used to be married to Paul Wesley from...

Vampire Diaries. Vampire Diaries, which is just like, okay, another notch in her belt, obsessed. I just didn't know her and now I'm learning a lot about her and everything I'm learning I like. Love. Yeah. My weenie of the week, which I just think it, weenie of the week, it's just so hard. Um,

But she exuded weenie like behavior. Me too. Me too. Katy Perry. Jackie, it was seriously so easy. I wrote it down last night. Like I literally knew. No, it was like when Justin Timberlake got weenie of the week that week. Like it was his week to be a weenie. She's been slowly inching. Even though she hasn't done anything like actually nefarious such as what Justin did that week. Well, the Dr. Luke thing is bad, but. Oh, I guess. She has been like inching towards weenie hood. And I feel like she can feel that in the culture. So she did a lot of things this week to try to undo that.

And in turn, she just dug herself like even bigger of a grave. Her behavior this week was so out of control.

It's so funny how like she's my weenie of the week on a week where I listened to her music so much. I'm having a renaissance with Daisies. It's the best song and it's a really good running song. Lifetimes, Woman's World. Like, sorry, like two things can be true. Look, I'm holding space for true truth. Some of the best music she's ever made, in my opinion, and nobody agrees with me and I understand that. Like I'm alone on this island. I'm obsessed with her music. Seriously, I think she might be one of the worst, most insufferable people on the planet. Yeah.

Yeah, like I, she's my winning of the week, but don't forget, like, I'm the biggest fan of hers. Right, right. Music. Right, because we are complex. Like, people think they can put us in a box and you seriously can't. No, like, nobody, I think if I was on, like, one of those shows, like, finish that Katy Perry lyric or, like, beat Shazam Katy Perry edition, like, I would win. No, okay. I'm such a big fan of hers. Remember Kelty and I had that game show, Superfan? Yeah.

You would seriously be on the Katy Perry episode. It's true. While also giving space for the fact that she's my weenie. She is. By the way, and I think weenie is the perfect word to describe her because seriously, the way she was acting on that podcast on Call Her Daddy was so weenie-like. It was. And so cool.

Alex Cooper has my utmost respect for seriously not getting up and leaving. Like it was really uncomfortable. She was so weird. Did you wind up listening to it? No, I need to. I've had such a, and I seriously have such a busy day today. By Monday of next week, I will have watched Katy Perry on Call Her Daddy and The Perfect Couple on Netflix. Yeah, I didn't watch last night because I knew that you weren't going to and I want to recap together. So we'll have a big recap on Monday. So do you know, confirmed how many episodes they dropped?

No. Is it the whole season? Netflix has been annoying like that. Netflix doesn't do that anymore, which is good. It's annoying, but it's good. It's overall better for our mental and physical health. Me thinks. You can watch it. Oh, one, two, three. Oh, no, six episodes. Oh, is that the whole thing? Damn. I have to imagine. Well, we do have the whole weekend. I'm glad I didn't start it last night then. Should we recap it on Monday? If we can get through the whole thing. Do you think you can commit? No.

I can't commit because I have a lot going on this weekend. Same. So I think I can commit to it. And Ben's going to want to watch it. It's a good show to watch with Ben. So give me it's a Tuesday or Wednesday. Okay. I'll do my best. I'll keep you posted throughout the week on my progress weekend. Okay. We'll stay in touch. I think you could call me. Jackie KIT. Keep in touch.

Guys, that's our show. A nice quickie on a Friday. Anything else we want to say before I wrap it up? No, that's all. We'll let you go. Have a great weekend. First weekend of fall while it's still technically summer. Sometimes we like do the episode and something crazy happens. Right afterwards, you mean? Yeah. And I'm like trying to feel like... Did something crazy happen?

No, okay, I just wanted to make sure. It always happens, like the second we wrap. So I just had to check my People Magazine app. I don't know why I had feelings there was breaking news. Oh, you turned your notifications off?

Yeah, I always do. No, but you usually have People Magazine notifications. Yeah, that's what I meant. I like went to my notifications, like my notification center. I don't have the People Magazine app. I misspoke. Got it. Well, I guess the breaking news is that Demi Lovato has spoken out about her sister's pregnancy. Oh my God, what did she say? She is reporting for anti-duty and she said this, I love you and this baby so much already. Oh, that's really sweet. Yeah.
