It's your favorite show that fast five things you need to know will start your day off swirly. It's the toast. It sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast and happy Monday after daylight savings. We've sufficiently sprung forward and I just want to say this Monday is not the vibe like at all. It's not daylight savings is not the vibe. I'm not going to go on and on about why it's just not I don't feel like it's yet. It doesn't need to be said. I feel like we're all aligned. We're waiting for our civil servants to do something about it. So true. I just can't take it anymore. But still daylight savings, especially this one. The other one where we get kids in Alaska, okay. The other one where we get an extra hour of sleep, like fine, fine, but that means that we have to deal with this one where we lose an hour and they both they cancel each other
out like the goodness of one. Like I do need either. I need for nothing in this life. Okay. No, and it's it's such a like a startling change of lifestyle. So true. Do you know what I mean? Like now we like we'll go to bed later because it stays light later like we're kind of up with the sun and down with the sun. I remember like in the summer we would go to sleep really late because it's like still light out. Right. And then when daylight savings happened in the fall, it got dark so early and that's when we did our like major bedtime move up and it's just a lot of change, you know. It's a lot of change. Some of us can't really handle it and I'm just not interested. And I find that every fucking time it's spring forward, I just like happened to be like I don't go anywhere at night, you know, but like I had dinner plans. I had had a cocktail and then I like lost an hour. It's really hard enough to have a cocktail and then wake up and be a parent, right? And I just find that like had I known obviously that it was a spring forward, I would have chosen a different night for my one night out, you know. Yeah, also Dana was here this weekend and her flight was Sunday morning and she left my house at like 10 a.m., but it meant she left my house at like 9 a.m. We literally lost an hour of friendship.
And like for what an hour, no one, no one has efficiently explained to me the purpose that you told me it was about the kids in Alaska getting on the bus at the morning. And that's not true. Initially it's for the farmers. Okay. But like Bill Gates owns all the farms. So what now? No, and like we have lights. Technology. Correct. Um, I've lost an hour of friendship. Dana said that she literally would have come a different weekend if she knew because she didn't even get to come that long because of a current kid schedule. She got here Friday afternoon. She had to leave Sunday morning so that like, you know, they wouldn't get home too late or anything. And we like, so she was probably here all in all like 36 hours, 40 hours, make it 39. It's so crazy. It's so upsetting. I did it so much this weekend like I nourished really a lot of different parts of myself. I finished a book for the first time since like, I actually don't even know the last book I read in full. It might have been while I was pregnant. I like didn't read a lot when I was pregnant. Excellent book. Oh, I brought it for you here. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I took the book jacket off because I'm just like so like, this is so organic. You know what I mean?
No, you're not reading a book. You're reading a novel. Yes. No, I'm literally like living in the 1900s. It was such a good book. If you, if you like, don't let anyone see the title. I know the title is not like, no, I like the title for Swirlitude, but like, you know, for Cloud. It doesn't give serious novel. It doesn't give Cloud. But you wouldn't know that I read like a historical fiction novel based on the life of real-life showgirl, Evelyn Nezbitt. Yeah, if you were into the, I just know Taylor Reddepa. For sure. Yeah. It sounds like a, like, what's her name in the showgirl song? Kitty. Her name is Evelyn. Her name is Kitty. Made her money being pretty and witty. They literally gave her the keys to this city. You have to, and they say she didn't do it legitimately. Is that this book? Is that what happened? I do feel like either Taylor wrote about this book or this book was sort of an inspired by T'Lowas or they both were inspired by Evelyn Nezbitt. Yeah. Yeah. It's so funny because like, before pictures and stuff, like a woman, like, they were like famous women and they were like the most beautiful women in the world, right? And so this, in the book, the woman is like, considered the most beautiful and like,
when people meet her, they faint, right? And then I, she was like posing for different modeling campaigns and I like saw some of the sketches of her there. I don't know if they're actually like real pictures of her, but they're all sketches. It's like, no one would look twice at this girl like today. Do you know anything? Well, we're so desensitized. I know. You know, modern plastic surgery, but I say plenty of beautiful people who don't have plastic surgery. So. She wouldn't cut it. I'm just saying. Well, makeup. Yeah. But they wore makeup, Rouge. A little Rouge. Should I finish the whole book? I had a cocktail. Oh, and I bought another book. Like, I'm so crazy. Just reading book after book. I went to the beach with my sister. We went to the beach on Saturday. I literally just like sort of nourished my body and soul. I fucked every bucket. Except for the daylight savings of it all. Oh, and then I went out and like socialized and I was home at 11. Like, I'm so crazy. I kind of like checked every box. I kind of slowed. And we had Shabbat Friday night. Right. Made brisket. Oh, Jackie made a delicious Shabbat meal. We checked like the faithfulness box. What am I always saying? Food-faith family friends. That's literally. And then also I need to like come up with a word that starts with F. That's like intellectual.
Um. Findings. Showing. Food-faith family friends. Findings. Title. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah. Did you check as many boxes as me? Oh, I checked a lot. I like, I checked heavy on the friends box. I got it. You had a house guess. I had friends over multiple guests. Because Dana and her husband and her kids came. So that's like friends, family. So we went hard. Faith. I mean, I hosted the Shabbat. So I guess. Beautiful. That's heavy. Yeah. And you know what? It's okay if you didn't check any boxes this weekend. Not every weekend is going to check every box. But it just so happened to have like an extremely dynamic weekend. Oh, I went to the farmer's market. Oh, another app. Yeah. Yeah. Last weekend. Last weekend as we all know. Twice. I didn't take my pajamas off. Like sometimes. Right. And it was amazing. And what's the important thing? Like sort of feverishly rotting. No way. It wasn't rotting. I don't really endorse rotting. Well, laying in bed with a baby isn't rotting.
Not at all. In reaching. So just sort of like feverishly enriching. You just won a set. Nobody wasn't. Did you tell I recently read a book? Feverishly? Um. Uh. Fa-la-la-la-la. It was very fa-la-la-la-la. And also like we had everyone over to my house last weekend. Like barbecue. Very fulfilling. Fulfilling is the word. Yeah. That one was fulfilling. I read a book. Yeah. It's really helpful. I actually read two books. It's really helpful when you're reading. Yes. It expands the mind. Yeah. What other book did you read? Little Blue Trucks Spring Edition. So I feel like when we talk about the sort of franchises within kids' novels. We talk a lot about Lama Lama. Of course, doctors. Just like books that like have different versions. And then like movies. Um. No one talks about the Little Blue Truck. And I wasn't familiar. Just sort of I came in a stack of books that my mother-in-law gave me.
And I was very drawn to it. And then I was at Barnes and Noble. And I didn't realize that like they did sequels. You didn't know that was happening. Ah. Much like Cynthia Reveaux. So I got the Little Blue Trucks Spring Edition. I just want to say you can skip it. My good fucking socks. Yeah. It's on. It happens. Yeah. Not every book can be a banger. When is the camper in the counselor's sequel that's based on your other sister who's like loves you so much. I have the story in my heart. Do you? Yeah. Have you told me it? You said it here. I don't know. I don't want to spoil it. I could do it. But like Cameron counselor's sequel is coming. It's just a matter of like bandwidth on my part. Well, let's get to work. Come on. What are you for? How can I help? Like support? I could watch your kids. So you can get to work. Yeah. How long does it take to write a children's book? Um. You know, a couple hard sessions. And then a couple hard sessions with the editor. And then like all the liaising of like the, uh, the, um, illustrator and whatnot. However, my first children's book was self-published. So that was even more work. You look forward to maybe having a publisher on the second time. Okay. Publishers. Reach out. Like, he would have thought they would have on the first. We sold a lot of copies of the campaign.
I have a lot of stats. The proof of concept. Proof of concept. Reach out. Many, many copies. Like, how many books does Jimmy Fallon need to write for the kids? He's an adult entertainer. No, they publish books that sell like not a lot of copies. I feel like Tim is telling me. Oh. We're going to talk about it. Okay. Um, but I sold a lot. I feel like Tim is telling me like, I sold a lot of copies. Reach out. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's crazy that Instagram hasn't figured out the whole Lincoln bio thing. Well, now it's like stories. Yeah. But like, the fact that you get to put a link in your caption. Yeah. It takes you to Safari. Yeah. It feels so archaic. Lincoln, my profile. Ben recently launched his sub-stack. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Which has been apparently that's like what you do in the food space. Like, if you are like a food creator and you write cookbooks, like, you also have a sub-stack for like your free recipes. Like anything you post online, like, are they always free? I thought that was very generous of him. I follow some creators who I feel like I have to pay. You know, I know as a sub-stack. Do you know that? Yeah. Just 600,000 subs as Ben calls it subs.
Wow. It's like Patreon. It's like Patreon. Yeah. But I think in the food space, a lot of people make it for free. Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? Like, what? What? I think I'm reading Ben's like working on his sub-stack. It's insane how, like, literary and evolved, we are like, Okay, last night we brought it for four hours and watched love story. But you said I love story. Isn't it nice? There was one more episode. It was The Wedding. Which is kind of like the climax. You know what, you know her famous wedding dress. Everyone thinks their care was sent when they got married these days and it's like back bun. And I have to say, it was probably the worst episode. It, I felt like when is this piece of shit going to end? And it kept fading to black. And I was like, thank God. And then it was like, picking back up in the back of the pickup truck. And I don't know if it's just me coming to this realization or the amount that we talk about it being factually incorrect. It's like, so why am I watching this fake infactual, like fictional, it feels so random and stupid
and I'm really hating it. Like, I don't even know if I'll finish it. That's how bad I feel like it is. And the wedding was really not good. And if, and it's a big if, even anything about the wedding is true. My God, her and John are so fucking annoying. Like you're being so late to your wedding, make all these Kennedys drive out in a pickup truck in the middle of like nowhere to sit in an air conditioning list church, it's not even a church. It's a square box, like it's a shed. And you're just sitting there because there's not a zipper on your dress. Like, are you for real? That can't be real. And honestly, can't expect that it isn't. No, the most interesting part was like how she decided to go for like, Narcissor Rodriguez, who was like her friend versus Calvin Klein. Oh, and in the, in the episode, I just watched, she's like in the apartment with her friend Narci or whatever. That's when Narcissor Rodriguez figured and they were like trying like a ludes to stuff. And also the way they were engaging with each other, like was just really annoying me. I guess it was a really big deal that she, I didn't think at the time that she got married, she had just left her job, but the fact that she didn't wear a Calvin Klein dress,
which is like, she's so Calvin Klein, right? He didn't introduce them. He also really believed in her and championed her. Like it was kind of a huge slap in the face, but I guess like it's supposed to be Adam Rable that she like worked with a lesser known designer. I don't know, her like her friend. I have no idea. Oh my God, the seamer, John, do you remember the seamer, he like pulls up to their apartment, her apartment and she's like with Narciss in her bedroom. And they're like falling on top of each other, like, yeah, being weird. Yeah, being weird. No, and also, I don't know if this is true either, but she does opt to make Caroline Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, her made of honor instead of her own sister. Just because the Kennedy's were so upset about their like small random wedding, it's not like real Kennedy wedding and Caroline's like being mean because she feels excluded. So she makes her sister-in-law her. Like if that's true, we need to stop standing, Caroline beset. Like, she's the whoa, talk about not being a girl, squirrel. Like that's fucking crazy. Well, it's probably not true. And Caroline Kennedy was so awful to her, like really awful. And like that's your made of honor and things go to shit, of course. And who steps in, the real sister? It's probably not true. Who knows with this show?
Like I can't, it's not good. I can't wait for next week, you know? But actually it's like starting to like lose its lost her. Do we have a lip gloss? Do I have a lip gloss? Yeah, I can use a little gloss. Hang on, hang on. Okay, I have an option. I expect that it won't have clump, but. No, it will not have clump. First I have like a summer Friday's bomb. Okay. Always, I would have taken that. Yeah. But now I just want to see what you're doing. If you're looking for hydration, I have like a lamar bomb. I'm not looking to use my finger. I love this. This is more of like a lipstick gloss. And then I have a, this is a Fenty Beauty. Wait, wait, I hope I have one more than I think it. Oh wow, wow. What the, you've come to the right place. The Fenty gloss. Yes. But I want to try that one. I can use a little more color. Yes, yes, yes, this is a Fenty like lip diamond bomb or whatever it's called. The diamond of the season. Oh, and then if you want this, I also have. I love. Oh, you actually need to get that. Oh, excuse me. Put that on my side. Let me use a little. Let me use a little. Shout out to my makeup artist, Carla, who was in my dream last night. Oh my god, I just remembered.
At my Maca-tenham sisters wedding, she put on this lip that was so stunning. Maca-tenham sisters. And I just had to purchase it. Oh, it's my, I have my. Maca-tenham sister, Caroline Kennedy. I don't know, I would never. I just have them. You're my son. My son, card. You guys, 2026 cards coming out soon. Everyone's coming out soon. Okay, I just want to say everyone's like, the 2026 cards coming out. They've been saying that for two months. It's always been April. And how does that make sense? When did the 2026 card come out in January? I'm not mad because like, I got to enjoy the 2025 card. Yeah. And now I'm ready for 2026. I feel like, you know, like, I feel like, you know how like the young kids these days are like addicted to gambling on their phones. I'm like addicted to playing mahjong. I'm like, we don't play enough, we don't, well, I do play a lot of my phone, but it's just to get by, you know, we don't play enough. Yeah, what's the cadence that you guys are all playing at? Like, I actually feel like we're playing a lot, probably twice a week, too much. Twice a week, yeah, on average, on a, on a slow week. Like, we don't play this weekend at all. But how often are other people playing? Well, I think that mahjong in our community is like an older lady game. And these are people who are retired. I think they play every day.
They go to like their local card. Oh, no, but I mean like the swirly, it's like everyone's playing mahjong right now. Like young girls. Yeah, moms, everyone's playing. So like, how often are you guys playing to the swirly? My friends in New York play like once or twice a week and I, yeah, I can't play at night. Like my brain is mush. I'm also uninterested. Like, I have sub-sex to write. And if you want to know why Ben sub-sex was written so well, like I, I have like muffins to make. I mean, muffins last night, like late night. I made egg bites. Oh, look it up. Yeah, I'm like so culinary, it's insane. Did you see what I sent you about like bone marrow for babies? Yeah, like I am in the market for recipes. So like, thanks for the real, I guess. I'm gonna do that one when my time comes. All right, so make me some. I'm not buying bones, like buying bones, roasting them, taking them from the marrow, and then whipping it into like a custard like dish. Yeah, I'm gonna stick with my like broccoli cheddar pancakes, but a bone marrow apparently has like every thing in the city. Yeah, brain density. So make it for the chart. Make it for you. I'll make it for you in Crouble. Like, that's insane. And Crouce. Oh, Crouce, you guys. Graven.
Have I updated everyone that Ruby's new name is Dewey Finn? No. Yeah, named after his father's hero, Dewey Finn, from School of Rock. Jackie, what? Ruey. Well, that's how it happened. Ruey, Fouy, Dewey, Finn. Yeah, for many of it happens. He's Graven and Movin. Yeah. He's moving and Graven. Yeah. And so I call him Grey, you know, how like, yes, he's like literally Morgan, Morgan Stewart. Like he's so aesthetic with like his cool girl name. He's like, Grey, he's Grey. Yeah, you have to say it with the role of the Grey. No, no, Grey, you have to add to you at the end. Yeah. Grey. And what are we calling Max? Oh, Maxi. I also call Max. Oh, god, I hate that. Oh, my Maxi. I hate that. I love Maxi. Maxi. No, he's a little hodome. Oh, that's funny. Sometimes he's an Easter. OK. Maxi, an Easter. I love that. I love that. And you know what, he is his auntie's nephew.
Like, I am a MaxiNaster. Yeah, so he could be Neaster. I love that. I really do. Neaster. Maxi. I know. Let's wrap this show up. We can go back to our kids. We can't talk about our kids. Otherwise, what about namesake? Any famous Maxes we need to have on? Oh, I forgot our podcast namesake, where we only interview people who share the same names as our children. Of course, there are Maxes we need to interview. Maxwell Sheffield, I would love to chat with. Oh, we could also also have like the fictional. If you are an actor named Steven, but you name someone named Max, but you are eligible. Like someone named Max. Yeah. That's great. That's a really good way to get more people on our show. I guess we need to interview like Ariel Tarnas' daughter. Ruby. Ruby Lowe. We do. Yeah, Ruby Foo and Ruby Lowe. When she's an age. Yeah, of course. We also need to interview the people who voice Max and Ruby. I mean, that's like when the podcast ends. Because we've reached Mecca. Yeah, Max and Ruby. Ruby and Max.
Get da da da da da do. I guess we could dive in. I actually do want to talk about today. We have so many stories. Probably more than five. I'm just going to order them as I see fit. And we'll just let it rip. How about that? How about without further adjudity to do? It is time for the stories that I'm going to let rip. Actually, if it's okay with you, without further adjudity to do, I'd much prefer for the fast-fived stories to just sort of let the chips fall where they may. 1,000%. I'm going to let the stories fall. Fall? Fall? Sometimes we're long-eyed. I hate to let them fall where they may. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Weight Watchers.

Weight Watchers is sort of like a tried and chew brand in the space, and they are now offering services as offering services for GLP1s. And I think it's such a great option to do in conjunction with their program, which just is proven to work. But I think for a lot of people, the issue with GLP1s is like, I don't know where to begin, where do I get it, who do I talk to, and Weight Watchers is a great place to do it.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Game Time. The Game Time app gives you the advantage, as a fan. So buying tickets to concerts these days is truly modern warfare. And I feel like the ticketing apps and websites and industries really take advantage of the customer. And that's why I really like Game Time because they put the customer first. It's incredibly easy to use. The Game Time guarantee means that you will unlock amazing tickets and you're getting 100% authentic tickets on time and at the best price. The fees are always included. So what you see is what you pay. I think that's a huge reason why I use Game Time. How many times have you been looking for tickets to sports, comedy, theater, music, whatever? And you find something decent. And by the time you get to check out, it's almost doubled in price because of the hidden fees. Well, Game Time is showing you the price all included up front.

Thank you, Game Time, for sponsoring today's episode. Today's episode is also brought to you by Haya. Here's something that might be keeping you up at night if you're a parent. You know that our kids are the first generation growing up with ultra-process foods. A lot of us don't know the long-term side effects, but a lot of parents are just doing a lot of things to go out of their way to avoid all that ultra-process stuff. And when it comes to kids' vitamins, you know, it's not the kids' vitamins that we used to take. A lot of them are jam-packed with sugar and just like crappy ingredients. It's a candy-like appeal being prioritized over actual nutrition. Some children's vitamins on the markets today contain up to seven grams of sugar per serving. They're stuffed with additional additives, petroleum-based dyes. Well, Haya took the totally opposite approach. It's zero sugar, zero gummy additives,
just clean nutrition. The crazy thing is that kids will actually love them. I can attest to that. My niece McEyl has been taking them for like many years. She's obsessed with the bottle. She decorates it with stickers. She flies across the house when it's time. It's like her favorite time of day. So they worked alongside pediatricians and nutrition scientists to create a super-powered chewable vitamin that packs a blend of 12 organic fruits and vegetables plus 15 essential vitamins and minerals into every dose. So they've got vitamin D, B12, C, zinc, folate, all the foundational nutrition nutrients that support immune health, brain function, mood regulation, concentration, and the development of strong teeth and bones. They earned a clean label project, highest purity certification. The ingredients are, they're a very transparent brand. The ingredients are very pargy, especially when you compare it to other kids' vitamins. And we've worked out a special deal with Haya for their best-selling children's vitamin. Receive 50% off your first order. To clean the ceiling, you must go to hayahealth.com-sush-toast because the deal's not available on their regular website, h-i-y-a-health.com-sush-toast to get your kids the full body nourishment that they need to grow into healthy adults.

Our first story, Timothy Chalamet is facing backlash from the ballet and opera communities after a viral, no one cares comment. So Timothy did his CNN variety town hall event with Matthew McConaughey. A while ago. A while ago. Nobody watched it then full, except for the clips where he talked about Kylie, because his comment went relatively under the radar until one person pointed it out. And he said that he didn't want theatrical movie going to end up like the ballet or opera, where artists want to quote, keep this thing alive, even though, quote, no one cares about it anymore.
So now all of the international ballet and opera, being like, by tickets, even though nobody cares. They're obsessed with being the victim. The London Royal Ballet and Opera took to Instagram to share footage of its craft people and performers in response to him saying, every night at the Royal Opera House, thousands of people gather for ballet and opera, for the music, for the storytelling, for the sheer magic of the live performance. If you'd like to reconsider Timothy, our doors are open. But he's a big mad about this. Okay, I just want to say like the reaction is sort of proving his point, because like if anybody said, like nobody cares about the Hollywood theaters, like no AMC theater would be like writing it up, like crafting an apology. So I know what he's saying. Obviously he's not saying it in a way where he realizes like, he's not being careful with his words, but he's saying that like different art forms, you can't compare ballet to movie making. The most famous ballerina in the world makes a fraction of what like the worst actor in the world makes, it's because it is about mass appeal ballet is more niche. Not every person wants to go see ballet,
but like I don't have a hard time, you know, turning away somebody who doesn't want to watch a movie. Like it's just more appealing to the masses. I know what he's saying. He said it in a harsh kind of way. And like I'm happy for the ballet, people like having their moment now, but like it's just also a little bit proving his point. But they are having a moment, and I think ultimately they should be thanking Timothy, because of course like ballet and opera are not what they used to be. They used to be the mass form of entertainment until like movies. Now how can you compete with CGI? Yeah. But I do think for a society like we are all suffering because we don't consume arts like that. It's much like the book that I read about real life show girl, I've lived in this bit. Like people would go to her shows is like the erasure. Like it was the biggest, like what you are entertained by. It's like great a showman. Exactly. And so he was saying, yeah, I understand. I mean, not knocking the art itself. Like these people are incredibly talented. And it's honestly a shame that like we've moved away from those. Worms of art and I hope that we can move back and maybe like having to have this conversation will encourage more people to support ballet.
I just want to say and all the people who are like big mad at Timothy, like I think you don't go see opera. Okay, so just stop. And it's like a lot of the opera or ballet, they're very like philanthropic societies and a lot of them like by on my charitable donations. Like I wonder, you know, dollars and cents, like how much of it is like based on donations and like how much they actually earn. It's probably mostly based on donations because if it was based on just like ticket sales, they're not selling a lot of tickets. Now I'm curious, this is sort of Timothy's first time in a bit of a scandal. Do you think we'll get like a notes app statement? Do you think we'll get a video or like we'll get no, no addressing? Based on the Timothy that I think I know, my limited information about him. Like he doesn't care. Yeah. And I think he said what he said. And maybe if he could go back, he would have said it more gently. But the message, it was just a delivery, not the message. He was wrong with what he said. It was how he said it. Well, I think for some people, there was something wrong with what he said. But I think for him, he's just speaking facts, but not as many people watch ballet now as they did 20 years ago.
I don't think he'll regret like speaking the facts, but I think the way in which he said it, if he could go back, he would change it. Now, is that something that you need to apologize for? I don't really think so. I would imagine having a three-way conference call with Kris Jenner right now. Like that's, she's kind of the expert. Maybe she's like getting her opinion or he has no idea and doesn't care. Like how big this has become. Yeah, I think it's also become like a silly little thing. Yeah, it's not that serious. It's not that serious. I don't think he's gonna lose jobs over this. No, no. And I don't think that he should apologize because that's just like lame. Like apology culture at its worst. No, and save your apology for something you're actually sorry about. Right. So I don't know, but I also don't maybe know how big it's become. I just see like the memes and jokes. Right. And the text is with. Okay, Kyle Richards and the exes with BK. Yeah, and it just memes and jokes. And I think it's like a funny thing that's net net good for ballet, fine arts for the arts, yeah. So I think that's good. And I support, I wish, I wish there was more ballet and opera to support, you know, it's beautiful art form.
You know, I could have been in ballerina. But I genuinely like, I don't know, like I need to watch the larger conversation because like what were they talking about? Well, they covered a lot of different topics in that random CNN town hall. You want to know something I was actually so influenced by that CNN town hall that you know what I did this weekend. You watched Interstellar? Well, I started it. I think I watched 50 minutes before Max woke up. I watched it with Dana on Saturday night. We like wanted to watch it. That's hilarious. She never saw it either. Timothy has been raving how this is the greatest movie ever made. And I'm endeavoring to watch it. Now I have like three more days on my rental. Oh, you got to act quick. I have to act with haste. Yeah. I'll try much a little bit every night. But I really want to watch it. I've heard amazing things. A little bit every night. I don't believe that's how Timothy intended it. I know, but like Timothy, I'm a new mama for the third time. Yeah. Just watch it. Yeah, just sit down. You got to just sit down. You can't do it. I feel like you're not going to like it as much as Timothy wants you to like it. But I actually think I paused at a good part because they're like in space spoiler alert. And it's going to take two years to reach their destination, not a spoiler.
I barely started the movie. It's really just boiling a lot for me. No, I paused right before like the two year gap. So now I'm like having this big gap. So by the time I turn it back on, it'll be more realistic. But why don't you just wait two years for like the full real life experience? That's probably what's going to wind up happen, 1000 per time. No, it was my 399. Oh, well, that's actually happened to me twice. I rented two movies since I've been here. Oh, my God, I have to tell you, you know what? This turn TV in the bedroom of the place we're staying has become kind of like the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Samsung TV Plus, which is like not a thing, they have the most turn content. You know that Rachel Ray has a show. The whole concept is the same thing. You know, she's a queen of 30 minute meals and that's why she was so successful like mothers everywhere, just like whipping up meals, not afraid to use store bought whatever. So she like reiterated that concept, but it's clear she doesn't own the name 30 minute meals because it's Rachel Ray's meals and minutes. And they're all like 25 to 30 minutes and it's literally like a vlog. She films it in her home kitchen. Her husband sits on a chair by the bars like it's just it is the weirdest format.
She's the craziest person. I kind of like that because on 30 minute meals, like there's commercials. I feel like things were prepped for her like nothing's prepped. I like that. It's like it's not fair to call it a 30 minute meal when the recipe calls for chopped onions, chopped carrots. And it's like, well, she's chopping it right there. They're not factoring it into the time. It's so true. No, no, and she does not stop yapping. It's probably a 10 minute meal. She doesn't shut the fuck up. She just ignores everything and it's like, we don't care. Like Tomatio or tomato, just like Tom and Chuan to use, you know, she's so chatty and her husband. They're like, they're kind of boozy. So like, he's there to make a cocktail for what she drink, for what she cooks. And they're just always like coctailing it up. She's so nutty. I feel like she's drinking like before, during and after like, she's just so nutty and she literally like, she burned the whole meal. And so it's like very vlog style. It's not tailored. And it's just like, she's what people want these days authentic. Yes. No, and you know how like every cooking show they block out like all the labels of whatever they're using, which is kind of annoying. She doesn't give a fuck. Like those labels on everything her kitchen is a fucking mess.
There's like mail in the background. That's realistic. That's what people want to see. It's a Samsung TV plus exclusive piece of content. It's the craziest thing. And they're just like slinging drinks, burning everything, but you know, she's making a nice meal. My Samsung TV plus go to show right now that comes on when I turn on my TV for the last like couple weeks has been Dawson's Creek. I've never seen a meaning there. It's before our time. Yeah. Literally. Yeah. Like she was watching Dawson's Creek. She definitely wasn't. She was too busy like chain smoking and ruining her sister's life. I'm cracking. Um, so she was set to start. That's seen really upset me. Timothy's in about a hot water. Well, she kind of needed a little edge. Can you feel like this makes him a little sexier? Like he was just too beloved. Yeah, but like this is so what such a non-scandal like you defended like the eyebrow art. Yeah. Yeah, no, but it's a good scandal. Like he needed something. Most people are like making it like, how are you going to put down live performance when it's the only job AI can't take people make anything about AI?
Yeah. Mm-hmm. And you just tell that to my AI generated cheddar broccoli egg bite recipe. Okay. When you say, it's not helping anyone. Are you ready for our next story, which is some other major news that has become major over the same thing that I'm obsessed with. Me too. So viral. Because he's going viral because TMZ put out an article they just put it out in there like sort of standard TMZ aesthetic, which is always they break which is like someone died. Somebody gave birth. Someone said they need to force like there. You know, they have an office down at the courthouse as Kelsey says. So like I was like, oh my god, I when I first saw just like the sheer headline, I'm like, Donna Kelsey died. Like they're so drama with their red and black alerts. But no, Donna Kelsey is renovating her Florida home. So the news is that Tracin and Travis's. Tracin and Travis. Donna is glowing up her Florida pad. She's in the middle of a home renovation TMZ has learned, according to official records filed last month. So this is where they're getting in Taylor's future mother-in-law appears to be redoing
her to bed to bath 1,430 foot square foot pad in Florida. Where? Orlando. I wonder why she has a place in Orlando. Maybe she likes to is. Maybe she likes to. I could see her actually being a digital 1,000. And I feel like whenever, I feel like Jason's like taking his daughter's airbunch especially when they went in the Super Bowl. Donna always comes. So maybe like Donna's like. Maybe that's where they stay. Yeah. Um, the documents show Donna hired a company to replace the night, which is insane. And six stores at the home. Once the Lebanese are talking about like how they have no privacy, like they do compared to Donna Kelsey. Like why? Why was this written up? And then people's reactions to it is what made it an even bigger story. Like it might have just gone by the wayside, but there's some crappy read about in like life and style. It's just like mindless news and then people reacted to it like as they should just being like, well, how can I sleep at night going this? Right. Um, and it's a circle now. It's like world news that Donna Kelsey is renovating her, her condo. I hope she sort of catches in on this big moment and maybe it like gets a very more
in flattening and commercial or does like an HGTV mini series one thousand percent. Because now I'm like, need to see the condo like show me the nine windows and you know that's my humble queen living it in a two bedroom condo six doors, and that's not renovating just so you know, replacing windows and doors. I feel like in Florida with her hurricanes, like you sort of have to every X amount of years. So it sounds like she's just doing some routine maintenance on her condo. Um, and yet here we are discussing it as if it's world news. It is. It really, really is. I hope she shares before and after I would love that. Does Donna Kelsey even have an Instagram? I feel like she does. I feel like it's like run by like a team. I would love a transition reel. I would love a transition reel set to maybe a little while us. Just just an idea. Just give it to us. You know, she likes to give the people what they want. She's like such a pop culture girl. And one thing about Donna, she's, and I think it's why people like her so much, she's very regular. You know, and like that's what regular folks do. They make transition reels. So those were the big stories of the weekend. Donna Kelsey relevant renovating her condo or house and, um, I think condo.
Yeah. I don't know why I think, but I think. Timothy sort of water himself into trouble. Are you ready for our next bit of news, which is some crime in Los Angeles? Hmm. First, I am Rachel Zoes home was hit by burglars this weekend. So Rachel Zoes was in Las Vegas for the opening of zero bond Las Vegas. And her home was burglarized early Sunday morning while she was at a really, really town. You know, Rachel Zo was in Vegas for the zero bunch. Did you know what crew she was with? She was with the natives and Pippa from Tell Me Lies. Like that was the crew. Oh, I saw the natives with Pippa. Yeah. And Rachel Zo was a part of that crew too. And I knew that Rachel Zo and Brooks Taylor were friends because I feel like they recently hung out, but I didn't like know that was happening. And I'm just kind of obsessed with that crew. Like how does three of them get, get together and they're saying Alex are on Tom Brady. We're there too. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. It's that's Halloween party. Yeah.
I saw that too. At Chris. I'm glad she's having fun. I feel like the fling has run its course. I'm personally like ignoring it now. I'm not ignoring it. Until they like step out together, like, of course they go to the same parties. They're on the same circuit every time they're seen together. I don't believe it. She's still crying over Braxton like. I know. I know. He's definitely just like obsessed with her. You think so? Yeah. You know what? I don't, I mean, I don't, I don't think so. I do. I think he's like losing sleep, like thinking about this young hot thing. I think like Olivia said, like, he's like mentoring her. Oh my God. You and Olivia, like, delusional queens. Yeah. Olivia said no. She's like the weekend and Angelina Jolie were meeting for business. She didn't say that. He's mentoring her. Actually, she said that she thought that they could relate to each other being the best at what they do. Also, an amazing point. Olivia has never said anything in factual. Like, that's my green right there. Um, wait. So here's the story. I'm sorry. Rachel, those home was burglarized. TMZ has told her alarm company received an activation alert on the alarm company, quickly notified police patrol units in the neighborhood responded and spotted two male suspects
leading the property. TMZ has told one of those suspects is in custody. Good. That never happens. That never happened. Don't you feel like she or home wouldn't have been robbed if she wasn't a real house with Beverly Hills? It's literally a right of passage. We've had a got Teddy. We've got Kyle. We've now got Rachel. So I feel like we have Kathy Sutton, the both of their houses were burglarized over, um, Bravo con this year. Um, it's insane. It's really insane. And I feel like if you're, I don't know why they go for like, oh, Dorit, sorry, I forgot to mention her. I don't know why like they go for reality stars more than they go for like traditional celebrities. But maybe it's because reality stars are always telling people where they are. Instagram. Yeah. And unfortunately, I just feel like we're going to start seeing like reality stars who are like, of, you know, means not being, you know, posting in real time anymore. If I was, I would never, like, never. Yeah. I think it's, it's so crazy. I'm glad that they caught someone because I know that also never happens. I never caught the guys who did Dorit's right. I never catch anyone who does anything. It's so true. Also, they get anything. I mean, talk about like unclear what they got if they got, talk about something upon
like treasure. Yeah. Um, also more crime in Beverly Hills, news, Rihanna's mansion was hit by gunfire on Sunday, early Sunday morning while she was home. A 30 year old woman was arrested Sunday, early Sunday morning after, so like 120. Um, yeah. No, actually, hold on. After firing several shots with a rifle at Rihanna's mansion while the singer was allegedly inside her house, LAPD responded to the report of the shooting at 120 p.m. Sunday and quickly took the suspect into custody. One bullet reportedly pierced a wall of the home, photos from the scene showed yellow police tape outside the singer's home, LA authorities were also seeing closing off the street near her property. Oh, my God. We're never getting that album now. I just want to let you know she's not giving the fans anything like this is the price of fame. I heard her home with her where her children are being shot at with guns. Oh my God. That's insane. I didn't even hear about this. I think those LAPD were going to overtime this weekend. I mean, I think every weekend, I think every weekend too.
That's crazy. It was published last night. So that's why you probably didn't hear about it. That's like, I feel like there are a couple of things that like a very celebrity sort of expect to happen to you like stalkers, robberies, gunshot, like that's insane. Mm-hmm. Oh my, she must be freaking. Yeah. She's also such a private celebrity. But she has like a lot of different homes. So like, it's even freaky, I don't know, like this person knew you were home. Yeah. Because she's not somebody who's posting on Instagram. Not only that, she's not somebody who gets paparazzi like all the time. Like we know when she's in New York because it's like a big deal, but like nobody knows where she is like most of the time. Yeah. Like with Taylor, I feel like people always know where she is. That must be so scary. Yeah. Really, really crazy. The outlet also reported that the police dispatch for the incident noted approximately 10 shots being fired at the house, which came from a vehicle across the street from the house. Like who would try to kill Rihanna, like seriously? Like I'm sped off in a white Tesla. You said it was a woman? Yeah. It's basically crazy. I'm glad they caught someone. Yeah, again. Yeah. Oh my God, that is so scary.
So scary. People are deeply, like deeply unwell. Mm-hmm. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Quince. These days we are all about quality over quantity, especially in our closets. If it's not well made, if it's not versatile, it's really just not worth it. And that's why I love Quince. The fabrics feel elevated. The cuts are thoughtful. And the pricing actually makes sense. I'm obsessed with seeing this trend on TikTok where like young people are being more thoughtful about what they purchase and everything they bring into their closet is like a capsule wardrobe item. It's more high quality. It's built to last. And Quince is an amazing resource. If you're looking to build a wardrobe of clothes that aren't disposable, that aren't poorly made, that aren't unraveling after one wear. Quince makes high quality wardrobe staples. They use premium fabrics like 100% European linen, 100% silk, and organic cotton poplin. Get weight cotton cashmere sweaters that are perfect for the changing seasons and can't miss seasonal colors for spring. They're versatile. They're well made pieces that make getting dressed simple. Now I know what you're going to say. Well, that's amazing. But it can't be buying, you know, a million cashmere sweaters. I mean, I hear you. Except you don't understand. The thing about Quince is that they are making the same high quality items as like designer brands. But for so much less, they're committed to making the highest quality items for the most
reasonable price. How do they do that? Well, they partner directly with the top factories. They cut out the middle man and then they pass those savings onto the customers. So you're literally wearing the sweater that's admitted in the same factory as high-end designers, but you're not paying for the designer markup. The clothing is consistently rated 4.5 stars out of 5 by thousands of customers. It's real people wearing these pieces every day and really loving them.

So in a big weekend in Vegas, I'm at the aforementioned zero bond launch at the win. And I just want to say like, I know this is crushing to Lewand Ellis apps because it's sort of like the final nail in the coffin of what could have been Lewand Costner. I don't think Lewand states down long. Like no, no. She put it out there, Kevin Costner. It didn't happen onto the next- Whenever I see him. I think about how like the perfect woman is out there for him.
Like I think about that a lot. I can't think of anything other than Lewand to like Costner. When I see Kevin Costner now having said that, I'm obsessed with this. And I know everyone's like, you know, but she's 20 and like, I don't give a fuck. Um, what they got Brooks Nader is like, she's in charge. And I just know he was dazzled by her. Brooks Nader knows her own mind. So true. So whatever she chooses to do is an eldest daughter. Like, you know, you can't tell her what to do. Yeah, she's over 25. She's divorced. Frontal lobe developed. She knows her mind. I'm obsessed with this. Now I don't think this is like the great love of her life. I doubt she really entertained it because like when you can get any man in the world, like Kevin Costner actually doesn't do it. And when like, I heard he's gotten with ours. Yeah, I heard he's a dick. I feel like not even like we've heard it like everyone. He fights with everyone. It's like confirmed. It's confirmed, yeah. Having said that, I could see him like being so obsessed with her. And like, she likes like an RC guy. It's true. Gleb. Yeah, she like famously said, I wanted to dance in the biggest douchebag on dance and with the stars. Having said that, I'm not like, I'm obsessed with this moment, but I hope it ends here.
I don't think that this is like the next big thing for- That's not really a word I use. What? The word I just said. D-bag? Yeah. I was quoting the great Brooks Nader. Of course. What is the actual item? Like a douchebag? Oh, please, please. No. It's a perennial device, right? Yeah. But I never call anyone that word. Me neither. I mean, we're not in a sorority. I feel like if you're like talking about, like, frat boys, you use that word. It's like a young person's word. Yeah. Not even. I feel like it's just, you know, you either use it or you don't. Okay. When you- Like, what's the equivalent? Like, what do we say? Like, he's such an ass. I say- I say- I say, like, he's such a dick. I guess. I don't really say that either. You don't really say much, like, in terms of- I don't say much in terms of like, like, profanity. In terms of- Like, he's not a good guy. Okay. He's a good guy. He's a bad guy. Like that. He's a bad guy. Do do do do do do. So, just want to say, loving this moment, hoping it ends here.
Yeah, and they were just like spotted sitting next to each other talking, but when two single people are doing that, like, of course, you wonder what's brewing. I just love bricks. Like, I am obsessed with like, the fame of bricksnater, you know? Mm-hmm. Like, she's just doing it right. Mm-hmm. Having fun. I think she's making a lot of money. Yeah. So, we'll see what happens between the two- Two lovers. Our next story, Alex Earl, was also a Vegas, but this isn't about her, John Tevega. She's teasing some tough conversations with her stepmom in her new reality show. So- Oh. Alex Earl did a vlog talking about everything, you know, in her life, but also what fans can expect from her reality show that's coming. She touched on what it's been like to lose control of the editing process with the show, admitting she's feeling nervous about how she and her relationships will be portrayed. She said, the parts where I'm like saying nice things or like retracting what I'm saying, I'm like, that's definitely probably not getting in the edit. Right. So, I think it's just scary how things can be edited and portrayed. That's at least what I've heard from a lot of people. Yes. It was simply called out the way that the reality show's filming was impacting her family's
relationships with each other. This is really interesting. She said, quote, when there's an issue, you have to go up and talk to them and figure out the issue on the show. Sometimes we'll just sweep things under the rug and we're like, let's not disturb the piece of the family. That's not a good TV show. It's kind of like now we're in family therapy. You really got to talk through all of the issues and have conversations face to face with people. She mentioned that her and her stepmother Ashley Dupree had been having a lot of conversations as a result of the filming as well. Yeah. I mean, I think that I don't think, of course, when you think about her stepmother, you think about how she came to be her stepmother and the drama beyond it. But it doesn't sound like that's actually the conversations that they're having. I think that like, my memory reporting on dancing with the stars, like Ashley's just kind of like nutty and like, when she was posting that stuff, like kind of making Alex look bad, like coming for carry-in, like putting Alex's job and jeopardy and putting Alex in like a weird situation. I think it's more situations like that where they're all becoming famous now. And Ashley is like a content creator. She has a lot of followers. She does a lot of mom content. She does a lot of conspiracy theories. She's like into UFOs or whatever. Yeah, but she has a lot of followers.
And so like with that, it's like, you have to be careful with what you say because like, yeah, you're a content creator, but you're Alex Earl's stepmom first. And I bet that like gets weird for Alex. You think that's going to be the bait of their issues on the show? Yeah, unless they're sitting down talking about the affair, but that was so long ago when it seems like they all like actually genuinely moved on. I'm the only one still talking about it. So no, I don't think they're having those types of conversations. She sent me and my stepmom having a lot of conversations about our relationship. And it's been good. It's been scary. There's also like been drama with that. I can't imagine how it all comes together. No, I imagine like, if I'm Alex and like her stepmom is riding her co-tails like, probably as much as like Ashton is. Like Ashton is kind of more popular, and she's also like posting crazy things about just like the world and Alex and so and also Alex's life. And it's like, like she recent, like you know what I bet is a storyline. She was doing like an outfit with her husband or whatever and she was saying that like,
I forget what it is, but Alex's dad was wearing this blazer and she was like, I saw Tom Brady wearing it and I bought it for him. Like things like that. Yeah, yeah. Like Alex was probably mad at that and she's right. Yeah. Well, if they're filming like right this minute, I wonder if they'll address the Tom Brady stuff also to say like that they're not together. Yeah. Also, when she talks about like losing the edit, whatever, I know that her, she announced the show on Netflix. It's in partnership with like a production company, Dave Grumpman, her friend. Like I don't feel like she's completely cut out of the editing process. She's not like totally like hands off. Yes, but like at a certain point, they're going to have to make a show and things might wind up in there that she would otherwise not have preferred, but like it's going to be good television. I'm sad for the show. I am as well and I think she's doing a good job of like making content about the show, while filming a show and teasing the show because remember we said like she could run a lit like, you know, spread herself a little thin, like having to do all this content at the reality show, but I feel like this is a great example of like a good way to do
it. Yeah, but it does feel like a lot. I haven't seen a lot of her TikToks recently, like with, I feel like she's just doing a lot. Now I forgot. Thank you for bringing up TikTok. Do you know that there's like a new, um, there's a new face on TikTok? Yeah, like if you like want to be young and cool, like there's, you know how like when we grew up, it was like the smile, like the, okay, there's like a new pose. Okay. It's called the pout. And it's not like the pout that we know, right? It's actually like, it's like, it's an iteration of that, but it's like Gen Z American Nash. You want to show me a video of it? I'm sorry. What? Show me a video. I don't have a video. It's just like, who does it? Everyone. Where should I see it? Ashton Earl? Like all the cool girls. Like, Ashton Earl does it? Mm-hmm. Let me go look at her. I feel like I'm doing it. Is Sally do it? I don't know. Happy belated birthday, Sally. Like this. Ashton Earl. Oh. Okay. I maybe it's like not what you have to try it. This. That Ashton's doing it. Like no.
She's just like dead. Yeah, she's not doing anything there. This. Well, she's not doing anything. Give me the phone. Hold on. Let me, I'll find one. And then you can recreate it. I'm going to get this. This. She's no, no, no. Like. Okay. Like this. No, but like more relaxed. Okay. Here, here, here. Do you see it? I see it. I see it. And it's really like upper lip heavy. And also, you got to cleanse your cheeks a little bit, because you. Yeah. Kind of. Kind of. It's like you're doing a little too much. It's like supposed to be a little bit more effortless. I'm just learning. Yeah, no, no. I'm just giving, I'm just giving tips. Oh. What's here? Yeah. It's just, it's a very top lip heavy. Like, and like it's kind of like you smell something, you know? Okay. Okay. Okay. Like I'm doing it. No. No. No. I have to say. I have to see what it looks like in order to tell you if you're doing it. And ash and doing it with sunglasses on. Mm-hmm. Does Haley Bieber do it? I don't know. It's like, it's a little bit more TikTok, you know? It's like younger than that.
Yeah. Well, can't go too young, you know? No, of course, of course. That wouldn't be very fulfilling of us. No, it wouldn't. Our fifth or sixth and final story? Whatever it may be. Dave Portinoise writing a memoir and the title is here. It's great. It's pretty fantastic. So Dave Portinoise posted on his Instagram, actually in response to Sophia Franklin. But he also shared that he is writing a book and it's called Cancel Me If You Can. It's available for pre-orders coming out in June. And I think like he's going to tell his, I'm assuming it's his story, like his memoirs. I feel like he probably, like, touched on daddy. Wherein' he would touch on that a little bit. But. And Sophia's obviously touching on it in hers and talking about Dave. And he posted. He's kind of using like the momentum of Sophia's book to promote his own, which is interesting. It is. And also his book's coming out first. Yeah, in terms of a title. It was like time to tell everyone. I know, in terms of a title, 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. I think it's probably more zoomed out,
like, you know, how he started Barswell. Like, we think of him now, like, as modern. But there's so much lore. Like, I don't know. I feel like the fact that he's sort of using the Sophia Franklin, like, I don't know. I don't know. I saw that he like posted her clip where she was asking me about him, but I couldn't watch with Sound and there were no subtitles. So I don't know. She was doing like a listener, Q and A, people writing in questions about her book, being like, you're going to talk about Dave Porno. And she's like, yeah. Okay. And he's going to talk about her. And I don't even know if he's really going to talk about her. Like, it's not really his story to tell. She's doing what I mean. I feel like he'd talk more about Alex. Yeah. He could probably mention the caller's addy thing. But like, I don't need to hear his side. And I also feel like one week heard his side. Yeah. Remember, like, he took over their podcast when they started releasing episodes. That's like also what blew it up. So again, I feel like Sophie is the side that we haven't heard entirely yet because she says there's like way more. But I look forward to reading both sides. I'll read both of these books. Actually, when I went to Barnes and Noble this weekend, I did look in the celebrity memoir section.
I was looking for Lisa Rinas. Maybe it's not out yet because I didn't see it. There's no way. I know it was not weird. No, I'm sorry, it's out. Like, you think? You don't do this much press for something that hasn't come out yet. Let's see. What's hers, these lips were made for talking? It was not in the memoir section. I'm just letting you know. It's out. You better believe I'm gonna talk about it, which is a great title. These lips were made for it. It's out, yeah. I couldn't find it. Actually, that's kind of a good tale too. These lips were made for talking. She has so many one-liners, like. Yeah, you better believe I'm gonna talk about it. That's kind of like, should we one? Yeah, it's a little long. I made it. I wouldn't. I would rate it pretty well, like some, for some reason, like celebrities, like lose their mind when they name their memoirs and they go so rogue and stupid. At least she's like referencing like one of her iconic lines. Maybe it's not the line I would have referred to, but like, it's better than, hope luck catches I know. What was that book called? Also, Dreeze, which is unburdened by what has been. Terrible, that's Kamala's book. Yeah. What is Ina's title? Like, be ready when the luck happens. Like, that's what I mean.
Celebrities lose their fucking mind. I know, that's why I love this song. They never go from the obvious thing. No, but it's hard to see yourself. Like, even if, like, if I had to sit down and like choose a name for my memoirs right now, I would have a hard time, but the audience could tell me in two seconds what my memoirs are. Jack is memoir, be named. Let me think, hold on. Memoirs of a Jacks. Well, now it is, but I mean outside of our running joke. If I ever wrote a book of memoirs, which I wouldn't have in, but like I would say. Memoirs of a shriestand. It would know it would be Memoirs of a Jacks because of the lore. Yeah. Not just because I think that's a great memoir name, but because it's actually not a good memoir name. Memoirs of a Jacks. No, because Memoirs of a Gayshot, like, you need two syllables. Gayshot. Memoirs of a charity. But you didn't. No, and when I was titling my book, at the last minute somebody was like, but just like, girl with no job. I'm like, oh, yeah. You know, and like from a publisher's perspective, like it has recognition. Yeah, no, I've no regrets about the title of my book. Like I couldn't get creative with the title, but then the subtext I could have. The beautiful life of a crazy Instagram, Thirsty Monster. The crazy beautiful life. Not of an Instagram, Thirsty Monster.
Not a crazy Instagram, Thirsty Monster. And it should have just taken out Instagram because I thirst on all platforms. Yeah, yeah. It's a sign of the times. It's a time capsule. Yeah, I love that as it should be. So what should Jackie's title be? Like toast, swirl. I feel like there's so many things. Do you see that Rihanna? I can't see it. Rihanna's lingerie company, Savage has an item called the Swirly Girlie bra, or whatever. Yeah, our influence. For sure. I just feel like it's so out there, like Gurley Swirley. Swirley, not Gurley. Like sure, if you'd have been the Gurley Twirley, I would have said Gurley Swirley. Yeah, but they just flipped it Swirly Girlie. But even the Swirly bra, we would say, oh, the bra has swirls or whatever. It's the Swirly and Gurley together. Correct. That's the magic of Swirley and Gurley. I thought that was interesting. Yeah, I mean, we're just sort of ubiquitous. It is what it is. Sipping culture. Yeah. Happy to do it. Love to do it. It's a story. Oh, memoir. Memoirs have a Dave Portenoy.
Cancel me if you can. It's a great, great title. It's really fantastic. Memoirs have a bar stool. That would've been good. No, we wouldn't. I like that. I would've taken it from just the two of us. Yeah. Yeah, but I guess then we could go and tell everyone about it. But no, cancel me if you can't. Like seriously. No notes. Give him a raise. I enjoyed those eight stories. I did as well. Lots to catch up on on this Mondayries. I'm still sort of recovering from the news that Donna Kelsey's renovating her home. So sorry if I felt like a little low energy for the second half of the show. It was a lot to take in. I do beg and plead that someone make the most of it. That's what I was thinking. Get in there. That's what I was thinking. Get in there. Somebody. Tyler Kevin's very busy renovating the bachelor mansion with host Tacia Adams. And Hannah Brown? Really? Yeah. I think it's the three of them. And I, first of all, Hannah Brown is a new toaster. Yeah, I saw that. Welcome. Second of all, she's been posting. She moved into a new home and she's been posting like a tour while also sharing what she's going to do
to every room of the home. And it's captivating. Well, maybe she is on that show, then. Oh, yeah. She's renovating her home. But she also has like an exit. Her home right now is really pretty. And she's like showing us what she's doing. I thoroughly enjoyed the content. I look forward to seeing some transition rails. That's wonderful. So welcome, Hannah Brown. Yeah. I don't find myself like talking a lot about Hannah Brown on this show. That's good. You, of course. But like when somebody whose name comes up a lot on this show, and then I find out that they listen every day, like that just happened with somebody actually extremely famous. I won't blow up their spot. But we talk about her like maybe once every two weeks. And then I found out that she watches every day. And like I kind of need her to stop. Like. No, it's just a hard line to walk. It is reminds me, of course, of Bobby and also from Charles of Sonsa. It reminds me, of course, of Philip Phillips. Picasso. Picasso. We're going to find out like. We've actually, we have been offered an interview with Picasso. The mass singer team reached out. We were like, okay. But like before we agreed to it, you're like, we need to know who it is. Or we can't tell you. I'm like, well, what if it's like a baseball player? Like, not even that. Like, what if it's somebody who hates us?
What if it's somebody who we hate? Like, I don't know. I can't, and I respect that. I'm serious. They take the show. But like, I can't commit. And the fact that they wouldn't even tell us, like, just first of all, like, we're not going to tell him, like, you're part of the show. Like, we're not just telling him. Tell us who it is. I know. Just fucking tell us who it is. Like, literally, literally, literally. It's in our minds. And you can't even just tell us. Like, come on. You want us to commit. Like, come on. You want us to commit. Like, come on. We're kind of a big show. We can't commit to just anyone. But it's like a not-famous person. And aside from the interview, just like, put these girls out of their misery. Like, here's the day shoot horses, don't they? Tell us who it is. I didn't even read that book. I just like know the title. And I remember being like, really shocked by it. It's a great title.
