It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your favorite show. The best five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. They sound amazing.
Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday from a couple of back-off-duty models. Thank God we're off-duty. Thank God we're off-duty. We're models and we're actresses. We were also acting on set yesterday. It's true. It was more of like a video shoot. We're using the incorrect terminology because we don't do it a lot. Photo shoot slash video shoot. We also did photos. We're very well-rounded models. We do a little bit of everything. It's true. We're what us in the industry call a triple threat. Oh, yeah. We sing, we dance. We're actually like quintuple dress. We play the piano. More so there's nothing we can't do.
And that's why the Golden Globes recognizes us for the talent that we are. Absolutely agreed. It's so true. So glad to be done modeling. Oh my God. You did an amazing job, by the way, if you're wondering. And it wasn't that bad, actually. Like, it was fine. We got McDonald's. It was fine. But, like, we may be done modeling, but I don't look it. Like, did you also have a hard time getting all your eye makeup off? I feel like I have, like, a little bit of, like, a smoky eye. I think because we used waterproof mascara. We used waterproof mascara. I had fake lashes on. I came out of the shower, and I had black running down my eyes. That's never happened to me. Even this morning, like, I was like, do I look extra smoky? And then I woke up, and I hide still black. I think I still have black. I don't know how the models do it. I should have used my Real Balm
Photo shoot all the time. So obviously her bone has photo shoot. It's photo shoot proof. It's photo shoot friendly. So yeah, we were on set all day yesterday. Kind of big drama on set is that I left my cast. I took it off obviously for the shoot because it's so sexy. Have you signed this one too? No, I haven't. No, should we? I forgot that. I had a backup so I wasn't like that upset. I was like, oh, you guys can throw it out. Like it was $3 from Walgreens. But I forgot that it was one that you signed. Do you want to sign this one? Or just like, it was a moment in time.
If you want me to sign it. No, you don't want to. I don't want, like, I don't want your, like, negative energy. It seems like you didn't even want to sign it. No, you went yesterday was negative as well, but I put a positive message on it. It seems like you don't even want to. Have you been shining on turdy? I mean, you saw me on set yesterday. She was shining. Shine on turd, shine on. I was a shiny little turd. She shone. Um, so yeah, modeling.
things we did that um another shoot next week just like the oh and if you're wondering like what we're modeling and what you're gonna like don't even think about it don't bother we'll tell you when the times right like trust and believe like we're not many times um but trust and believe we will continue to talk about the photo shoots in perpetuity as they happen in real time before during and after yeah It's Friday. I'm glad to just get back to my, like, my real life today. You know, my Miley Stewart life. Homemaking. I'm making Shabbat. Maj. And I'm just excited to, like, be me again. Yeah. It was fun for a minute, you know, to step into the shoes of the limelight, the glamorous life. Last night, we were, like, in the street. We were, like, with the neighbors. And I had, like, a full face of glam. I was just like, oh, mom's over. I know. The next time he sees you, he's going to be like, who are you? No, but it's, like, just so intense. It's a lot. Even though I really realized. I felt like Bailey Taylor addressing the controversy. I realized yesterday, because when we both were done, we had, like, 20 minutes, like, chill. And I was looking at us. And I was like, we are. We look so gorgeous.
And I was like, well, what's stopping us from looking like this every day? And you did make a good point. If you look that glam every single day, you'll never look special and it'll be hard to be different. But I don't know, the way I felt yesterday versus the way I felt today, I need to, I think one of the lessons I took away from the photo shoot was I need to be wearing more makeup. And I wear a lot. But I think I'm doing it poorly and bad. And then your takeaway was to wear more makeup and you came here today wearing less makeup. Well, I had a crazy morning, so don't start with me. But general life philosophy, yes. I don't wear enough makeup. And the thing is, at the end of the glam session, I was like, put on more.
And she didn't. I was, like, even better. My takeaway was that we're timeless beauties. Well, I didn't need that takeaway. I already knew that. And I think I need Botox because I was having, like, I was watching videos. And I was just, like, a little bit RBF. I'm, like, why are you mad, bro? But I wasn't mad. But the video shoot that we shot, like, required such expressionism and such emotive, like, gestures that I'm glad that you were able because you crushed it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was, like, in the down periods when we were, like, waiting for our cue. Like, I'm just, like, cross eyebrows. And that's not how I felt. Right. I wasn't confused. And I wasn't mad. Maybe it's not a Botox problem. Maybe you just, like, have a resting image face.
Maybe, but both. I don't want to. As an actress model and triple threat, like you can't be freezing your- Maybe we have one more photo shoot next week and then I retire. And then you can get Botox. I'm going back into retirement. Let me tell you something about retirement. I can't wait. I got my Roth IRA set up. I'm ready to go. I'm going to be living a high life. When you retire? When I retire. And trust, I will retire. I'm not going to be like Tom Brady. Really? A day will come. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Not anytime soon, of course. I don't know. You're not going to retire? Are people even retiring anymore?
Yeah, I see people having retirement parties on TikTok all the time. People on TikTok. People with pensions, like, it's kind of the whole point, you know, love to retire. Cops, teachers, well, teachers don't have pensions, but you know what I mean. Yeah, I do think, obviously, maybe not at the rate they once were, but yeah, people retire. People are still retiring. And can you even retire? Well, no, that's sort of like a larger economical issue, but that's why I said people with pensions, they can retire. Okay. Definitely. Nobody else, no. Well, you know, this is a good reminder to start saving for retirement. It's never a bad time. It's never too early. Nobody's thinking about it. And it's so not sexy. Like, I'm saving up for a Ferrari. Oh, I'm saving up for retirement. Like, well, you know what? Who's happier in 30, 40, 50 years?
Amanda Francis. Let's talk about Amanda Francis. Let's talk about Amanda Francis. I want to pull up her video. It meant a lot to me. Yes, I watched it, and it also meant a lot to me. It's actually going to be a story, but we could just talk about it now since we're talking about it. So then are we going to replace the story? Yeah, I'll replace the story. Okay. She made a video. She has a lot of videos that don't come across my desk. As you guys know, she does financial manifestations. It's all sort of like boo-hoo-hoo hogwash, and she sells horses. But she is getting married this weekend, which we were following her engagement journey on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She's not returning, so everything we know about the wedding, we know from her Instagram, her husband built her a chuppa with a cross. Did you see? No, I didn't see. I think it's an interfaith wedding. But this video came up in my feed,
American Express Bill. So, of course, I didn't even know why I was watching Amanda Francis. Oh, well, she also looks so different. And then I'm hearing her justify the $700,000 American Express Bill. $704,000 American Express Bill. And the takeaways that we can all take away from this video, I think, are so critical for us. Well, what's interesting is that video is actually not for you, I feel. You don't need this message. The video is for me because I'm not spending money. I'm not shopping. I have the opportunity to release money on this Chanel bag. She shares that a lot of her wedding vendors are on this credit card bill, which is why it's such a high American Express Bill. And why she's so excited about her bill being so high. Yeah, this is exactly what she wanted. This is an opportunity for her to release money. This is what she says. This.
She's excited. Me and Amanda Francis have so much in common. My Amex also declined on DoorDash yesterday. Yeah. Oh, because he was like a fraud alert. He was a fraud alert. And like, honestly, in American Express's defense, like, it was good fraud. I gave my credit card to someone else to place a food order for everyone. So it was like, wasn't my account. It was a good catch by Amex, but it was me.
You just wanted the drama. Of course. $200,000 to $250,000 on it every month for years and years and years and years. I can think of a time that it was more like $360,000 and I can think of a time that it was more like $120,000. What is she spending money on? So Amex is sending me notifications that say, hey, based on your typical spend and payment amount, this amount is very large. We are declining your transactions, which is fine. So I was going to make a payment and I'll have them on the Amex and we can pay the final invoice for the wedding. We have $136,000. Okay, why am I excited? I'm excited because I know the opportunity to release money. The opportunity to... Okay, receiving...
And being comfortable and safe receiving is an art. But releasing and releasing with gratitude and purpose and joy is an art too. Letting go of money. You and Bradley need to release with joy. Well, here's the thing. Is that like, while yes, she's right, she's also wrong. Because she's not talking about the extreme. You and her with her $700,000 bill. The extreme of getting too comfortable releasing money. Knowing that money is plentiful and there's always more where that came from. That's true. Liar!
The machine doesn't agree either. And it's part of having a very positive relationship with money that you feel safe and comfortable using it and using it well. Sometimes well is investments. Sometimes well is new team members. Sometimes well is a high interest savings account. Sometimes well is your wedding. I've decided that's what well meant. But it's up to me what is the right thing to do with my money and it's up to everyone what the right thing to do with their money is. It kind of reminds me when I got into student loan debt to go to the schools I wanted to. I decided those schools were right for me and the debt was worth it. I'm deciding this wedding is right for me and this massive Amex bill that I'm not going to need to pay off to continue to even be able to use my Amex is worth it. And I wouldn't be having a wedding at this point.
Well, of course. Hopefully. I don't know about that. Tell that to Bernie May. Yeah, right. Okay, Amanda. Actually, I think at its core, I like her message. For someone like me, I definitely have a complicated relationship with money. I hate spending money. No, no, it's a crazy message. It's a crazy video. She's so crazy. First of all.
How on her regular day-to-day, not a wedding, how is she spending, like she said, her Amex bill is usually $250,000 a month, unless she has her mortgage, everything, but that's still so much money. Yeah, that's really high. I get scared for her. Obviously, something's going to happen. How is she sustaining this? Her husband's a general contractor, and she sells courses on the internet. She said a million times that her husband's poor, and he doesn't make it. She's funding their lifestyle. With her courses. I have to imagine this video is going so viral. Her courses are probably being sold through the roof. Yeah, because even me, and we are discerning consumers, there is something.
There's something emotional about money. There's a glimmer of just like something attractive in that video where it's like spend with joy. Because you know what? If you're going to have to spend on things, which you do, spend with joy. No. It's a joyous occasion. No. I actually think what like my pit in my stomach every time I have to spend a lot of money is what keeps me financially stable. No, but if we go into a store and we shop and we bought things that we love and I'm so excited to buy them. Like seriously, like take my money. Like this is so great. And like you're like. Yeah, but by the way, nobody has a pit about the things that they bought that they love. Like everything that like in life, it's like you got a bill you don't expect or your air conditioner breaks or your car breaks down. Yeah, I'd love to know what she thinks about that. Yeah, of course.
I love spending money on my wedding. Like, please. Where's that energy when, like, you know, your carburetor fails? Yeah. Or, you know, unexpected medical bills. Oh, I'm releasing this money with joy. Like, please. I don't think that's what she's talking about. I'm just saying it's an easy message to spread. No, but I also feel like it's easy to find the worst case scenario and be like, well, what do you think about that? And it's like, okay, that's not what I was talking about. But that's a lot of times when you release money. Like, that's what you're releasing it for. Because if I'm paying for something that I want, I'm not releasing it. I'm just paying for it. I'm like, but when you have to, like, steal the money from my cold, dead hands, like, because it's not something sexy, like a bill, insurance. It's got a Natera bill. Like, please.
Natera. Natera. They are persistent. They get you mail, text, and email. Predatory, I would say. Predatory. And you know what? I felt sick because they contact me via text, via email, and via like regular mail. So you know what? I'll finally pay this bill. Paid it. I got a text. Your Natera bill has been paid. Within one second, I got another text. Your Natera bill is ready.
I just paid it in full. They're disgusting. I'm not paying it. There's a documentary. Where is the Natera documentary? I mean, the healthcare system in this country. So broken. It's broken. You guys know that. You know that. Amanda Francis knows that. I can't even get into it. And I won't. But just know, like Natera, I've got my eyes on your billing department. Something's amiss there. Yeah. Anyway, so that's your money inspiration from Amanda Francis. Take the pieces of it that you need. I wouldn't say take the whole thing. I wouldn't say put a $700,000 wedding on your credit card. The man that you're already married and have a family with and this changes nothing. It's seriously formality. It changes nothing. Amanda Francis is the Jim Cramer of our time. To be seen.
Right. I'm waiting for the Amanda Francis documentary. And that does include her time in a cult. I actually think that's very interesting. Her story has yet to be written. I know. I think she was supposed to be writing it on the Real Housewives. She might be the Warren Buffett of our time. She might be. She might not be. But her story, the rest is still unwritten.
Well, I thought she was writing it. Remember? She was like typing up her memoirs. She writes multiple books. In the back of the sermon. She writes them herself. Right, of course. Don't get it twisted. Speaking of, I saw Crystal Kong Minkoff is back on TV. What does she do? She works for Jeff Lewis, the radio host who does Bravo stuff. And I guess they have a show now. And Crystal Kong is on it. She's kind of the hero character. People are loving her.
hero character of a show? Yeah. A radio show? A TV show. They have a show on Bravo now. Oh, what's it called? Like Jeff Lewis Live. I don't know. It's like another iteration of his like... Radio show? Yeah. Yeah, but it's not the actual radio show. It's like the drama behind it. It's like Vanderpump Rules of like Sirius XM. And what is her role in it? She's I guess like a personality on his show and so she's like a part of the group and there's like drama with the group. And is she in the drama? Yeah. It's just so funny because the criticisms of her were like no personality. I know. No drama. Like no... And I was watching a clip and the comments were like Crystal's my queen. Like they love her and I'm like you guys hated her when she was on. For her to go on and have a career in like being a personality when like personality was the issue.
Oh, I really feel like personality was her issue. I just felt like she was just in the wrong group. She was, like, kind of, like, sensitive and, like, woke and, like, talking about people's language. It's like, girl, this is a real house in Beverly Hills. Like, get out of here. She just, like, gave nothing. Gave nothing, yes. Except she had a glam life. Of course, no, no, no. The husband, the house. The personalities and the dynamics and women, like, gave nothing. She wasn't a good fit. She wasn't a good fit. And for her to now be, like, rat-a-ta. I don't know what, like, maybe she plays, like, sort of, I don't know what sort of role she plays in the radio group. If you're in that world, like, you're rat-a-ta. No, actually, I think Jeff is a rat-a-ta and everybody sort of has, like, rat-a-
everyone else is sort of like, has to be comfortable being like supplemental characters to the star. Okay. That's fine. Yeah, kind of like us. Golden Globe nominees. Okay, let's get into the stories since we sort of got into them already. Oh, we also Queenie and Weenie today, which I completely forgot to choose, but it'll come to me. It always does. It always does. Without further ado, it is time for the best of my stories that you do need to know. Very excited. Today's episode is brought to you by Macy's, which we've been talking about all week. And actually, I don't know if I mentioned that I went to the mall over the weekend. And one of the like sort of banner stores was Macy's. I had such an amazing shopping experience. Like everyone's gearing up for holiday. I was obviously there for turd self. I needed some brassieres. Like I needed things like for myself, like leggings.
Bras. Things you guys don't see, but things like as a pregnant woman, you must invest in. And let me tell you, nothing tickles my fancy quite like the lingerie and intimates department of a Macy's. Because let me tell you, the women who work there, they know a female body better than a doctor. Okay? They looked at me, they said, come here. I chose out some great bras. Obviously, I have special, you know, unique needs right now when it comes to brassieres. I need support. I need comfort. It's a lot of things. I don't need a bra that can make me nauseous, potentially. It's about great bras. They also have fab designer duds. And when we were talking about being comfortable, releasing money.
Of course, Macy's came to mind. I bought some sunglasses from Celine. Also, I bought, you know. She released it with joy. With joy. I bought you those leggings. I got some leggings, some Reebok leggings that I'm wearing today. They carry fab brands like Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Celine. Shopping in-store and online with Macy's is always fab. Especially with the holiday season coming up. I think a lot of us, you know, we think it's October. We think we have time. You don't. You don't have time. And it's going to creep up on you. And if you're shopping for the man in your life, a woman in your life, a child in your life, and you just want to bang it all out in one store, let me tell you, Macy's is the place to go. First off, I just love in-store. The people who work there are just smart. They know exactly what you're looking for. They know exactly where to find it. They have so much
They also like carry a bunch of different departments. So if you have somebody in your life who's like a huge beauty lover or like for Ben, I'm always looking like the home department, looking for new knives. They have something for everyone. So whether you have a homemaker, a beauty trendsetter, a kid in your life, someone who's just like into the cozy lifestyle. I know a couple of people like that. Macy's has everything you could possibly need. So again, like really high end brands, really good pricing. They cover all different budgets. So if you're looking for something small or something a little bit more extravagant, you can get anything you really need off your list for anyone on your list at Macy's. And yeah, I can't even stress how like the experience I had at the store.
was just really wonderful. I feel like me and the sales lady made a real connection, especially in the hosiery department. Hosiery. She saw something in me that... I couldn't even see it myself, you know? And again, like, check out these fab leggings. I got these fab leggings from Reebok. I'm trying to show you guys. She's into, like, her very sporty look. If you have, like, a sporty friend who, like, wears lots of high socks, definitely check out the athleisure. Check out the sock department. They have everything. That's what I'm saying. The departments are departmenting. You can find me in the kitchen department. Yes, that's where I was. Lennox Butterfly Collection. That's what Ben and I were looking for. He was, like, in the market for some new knives. He always is. I know. So you can check out Macy's online gift guide for even more ideas. Because sometimes you walk into a store knowing exactly what you're looking for. And sometimes you walk into a store, like, feeling lost and lonely and depressed. Or you go onto a website and you're, like, I don't even know what to do. So
or home, like we said. So check out Macy's online. Give guides. You can shop in store for this holiday season and get ahead of the curve because everybody is shopping and you're going to be left behind. Today's episode is also brought to you by Jolie. Jolie is kind of the beauty hack that everyone is talking about. So if you spend so much time, money, energy on your skincare products, your hair care products, you might not even be realizing sort of the most basic thing missing is the water that you shower in not being premium and not being good for your hair and skin. So Jolie is a beauty wellness company. They have a clinically proven filtered shower head designed to remove chlorine and heavy metals that can damage your skin and hair. The shower head installs in minutes, fits all showers, and delivers amazing pressure and elevates any space. The small upgrade can make a significant difference in how your skin and hair feel all year long.
So it's, like, so simple. I think, obviously, I'm a big fan of getting, you know, $100 face cream and a special hair mask. But if you're not even showering with good water, it's all sort of pointless. And you will feel the difference in, like, in how your hair brushes. You ever get a shower and your hair is, like, crunchy and hard and just not good? There could actually be, like, chlorine in your water. So Jolie is such an easy swap. First of all, it's very aesthetic. So I think a lot of people feel afraid to swap out their shower head because, like, oh, I have this party shower head. Well, it's probably not party than the ones at Jolie. It comes in a bunch of different finishes. It's really aesthetic. And it stalls in minutes and fits all showers. So it's universal. It's a very effortless way to elevate your daily routine.
So before you do any skincare or hair care, just know that Jolie is the baseline because if your water isn't right, nothing else is going to perform the way that it should. And just like from a shallow aesthetic point of view, your shower will look very chic. And if you have a shower head that you hate and that's ugly and you think you're just stuck with it, first, don't get a Jolie because it's good for your hair and skin. And two, people don't realize like it's actually really easy to install and almost every shower it fits. Like it's parchy. And then you're just going to start feeling like you're at a luxury spa or an expensive hotel when you're taking a shower, which is amazing. So try Jolie risk-free for 60 days by going to JolieSkinCo.com slash toast. That's JolieSkinCo.com slash T-O-A-S-T. Jolie is also available now in Target and Costco, both online and in store. Thank you, intern. You're
As a pregnant person who suffers constantly with Tums, like why would I, such a silly question, why would I have a Tum? Our first story. Oh my god, we have a Tum in the studio. I'll take one. One thing about me, and Dr. Fox is like such a big, am I taking too many Tums? And he's like, there's no such thing, like calcium is so good for you. I gotta get my Pepsid game. In my first pregnancy, I was like, it got so bad, I was like, alright, we're taking Pepsid. Yeah. Daily.
Ugh. I'm sorry. I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry. Seriously, everyone's not worried. Taylor Swift will perform at the Academy Museum Gala. So Taylor Swift is up to perform at the upcoming Academy Museum Gala, the evening which takes place on October 17th, serves as a fundraiser for and takes place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. So this is the event every year where everyone shows up. Poses in front of the lamps? Yeah, and everyone's there. Is this LACMA? I think it's LACMA. There's like two events every year that are black tie. Every A-lister goes to it. We don't know what they're for and who they're about. This is one of them. Everyone goes. Everyone looks pargy. It's the creme de la creme. And Taylor is performing. Details are still under wraps, but it's likely that she will perform I Knew It, I Knew You.
from Toy Story. Oh, because it's motion picture. It's movies. Right, right. Okay. And the gal is considered a major stop for Oscar hopefuls, so she is gunning for an Oscar nominee. We're very similar in that set. We are running a Golden Globes campaign. She's running an Oscars campaign, which will probably be us in a few years, so we should take note. I'll sing. Okay. She'll sing. I understand. You do what you gotta do. This will be a part of you then. Everyone's always there. I hope her and Travis walk the carpet. We won't be televised or anything. We won't be able to see this. We'll get a video probably. When I saw this, I thought she was performing at the Grammy Academy. You know they do those little concerts?
I think she hasn't done one since 1989 where she wore the black turtleneck and I've watched those videos on YouTube a thousand times. I think she just did like an interview there and she's saying, I knew what I knew you. She's like, obviously on like an I knew what I knew you tear. This is not that. We won't be getting like party high quality YouTube videos that live in perpetuity forever. But fine. We'll probably get like some reels of her singing it, you know, just like how she did it when she did it at the Disney thing with the guy Randy Newman. Yeah, I'm not going to complain to you. I like leaving the house is good for the economy. It's good for my mental health. Obviously, I could always want more.
But I'll take it. As Liz Woods pointed out, the Kardashians always go. It's very interesting when Taylor goes to, like, very populated events with other celebrities because she doesn't go to the Metcala. She goes to her own thing. She goes to the Arrow store and she goes to the Chiefs games, like, where she's the queen. And she goes to the B&As where she's the queen. Where she only shows up at award shows where she knows, like, her ops won't be and she's the number one most famous girl in the group. And so for her to go to, like, sort of a scene-y event, that's not her scene. Like, she doesn't really do that. Yeah, I hope Travis goes with her even though it's October 17th so we're still in season. What day of the week?
I don't know. Well, today's the 10th. Oh, it's a week from today. And what day do the Chiefs play? Because, you know, it's not always on Sunday. Yeah, I feel that a Friday. Yeah, no, it's not happening. So which, like, go-to friend will be her plus one? This isn't working. Yeah. Or maybe, like, I feel like maybe this is one of his last year's playing, so she's, like, really going to be there for him. And then after he retires, like, he'll be there for her. And the plus one of the moment is Dakota. And she's obviously, like, an actress, so she might just be going as well. Also, someone pointed out, like, they're Taylor and Dakota. They're Taylor and Dakota. Less talks. Yeah. But that's crazy. It is. We were saying Taylor and Dakota and Taylor and Dakota. Yeah. I guess, like, I don't know if I ever really sat down and thought that
I think so. I don't know why it sounds like that. If it's not his name, whose name is it? I agree. Like if we go to camp. Yes, Dakota Mortensen. Sometimes. If we go to camp with him. Sometimes I'll say the name of someone on this show. And it's like we're talking about a celebrity and I'll accidentally say like Taylor. And it's like someone we like randomly went to camp with that I'm not even friends with on Facebook. That's like some of the deepest recesses of my mind. And I feel like mortified that I was even. I was like, when you just were looking at me like that, I was like, who? I'm like, is that our bully from middle school? Like I was like, who's Dakota Mortensen? I got scared. You should be scared of him. I don't know if I ever knew at a conscious level that he has the same name as Dakota Johnson. Like that's weird. Yeah. And then like Taylor Swift and Taylor Frankie Paul. Yeah. I
Like meme that goes around like, are you going to handle it like a Taylor Swift or a Taylor Frankie? Unfortunately, I'm going to handle it like a Taylor Frankie. But my goal throughout the years as I morph into a better woman, mother, sister and friend is to handle it like Taylor Swift. But like I have a little bit of Taylor Frankie Paul in me. Yeah, I think everyone does, which is why you're supposed to like a piece of her that people could relate. You know, she's not perfect. She's messy. Yeah.
But maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. Actually, I don't. I think even when I started watching the show, I never did. And that was something where I was like, I don't get this Taylor at all. The hype. I actually agree with that. But then she did a few things that endeared her to me, but I never really felt like that. Saw any part of yourself in her. No, no. I actually agree. Maybe everyone has a little bit of Taylor Frankie Paul in them, except you. I don't see even a little bit of her in you.
I can't even explain. Like, I really relate to her, like, and this is something I'm really working on, and I do think I've gotten better. I'm very reactive, and it's like, in the moment, I'm so angry, and I think I'm so right, and then, like, a few minutes later, I'm like, okay, that was too much. Like, I did too much, and then you, like, lose any ground you stand on, so I'm really working on that. I feel like I've gotten so much better. You have, and I wouldn't even, like, And hers are crazy. Yeah, because we're talking about it, I can see, like, yes, you react, she reacts, but, like, when you're reacting, I'm not like you're being tailored. No, no, no, no, but, like, we could all work on our reactions a little bit. Yes, there's a piece of her, yeah, me. And she's, like, it's so emotional
Congratulations to Laird. I hope you crush it. Break a leg. And I hope somebody's there with like a high quality camera. All these iconic performances like at the Met Gala that never gets shown. Seriously, what's the point? Celebrities don't even care. Yeah. Like literally no one's gonna be seen for Taylor's performance because they're all like jealous and hate her. And like they're gonna be in the bathroom with the Kardashians like smoking cigarettes. I wonder which Kardashians will go. Like definitely Kylie and Timothy. Definitely Kylie. And definitely Kim and Louis. Oh, Louis.
Definitely Kim, like, because she fancies herself an actress now. And, like, this is a huge affair. But also the Kardashians, like, just go to every major event in Los Angeles. And they're not scared. And they're showing up with their sisters. And they have, like, the industry at their back. Everybody's friends with them. This is their hometown. Powerful. But so is Taylor. But for some reason she runs scared. Like, why doesn't she still go to the McDonald's? She went for so long. She was on the board. It was only after.
all the drama that she stopped going but like what are you I don't think she's afraid of something like because she's not right and I do think a lot of times Taylor's just genuinely too famous to go to places like Beyonce actually Taylor could take a note out of Beyonce's but Beyonce goes nowhere and that's so good for her image like she's not going to the VMA's like she's too cool for that like she would never and I think like Taylor sometimes shows up to things that she shouldn't show up to but then she doesn't go to things that she should go to like Beyonce still every couple of years goes to the Met Gala why doesn't she go to the Met Gala what is the reason well I think she's a lot of Met Gala trauma of course a getaway car like that's where she met Tom Hiddleston that's not a reason no no I'm not going to this amazing party anymore because I one time met a guy that I really liked and it is it's an important sort of chapter in her story I don't know why, especially because it's, like, a big thing for, like, big athletes, too. Like, Tom Brady and Giselle always. I don't know why she hasn't gone. Maybe now that she's married. Maybe she will. I think a lot of times, of course, scheduling conflicts with the artist or whatever. Maybe now. No, something, there's tea. Maybe she has beef with athletes. It's not just that she's, like, afraid, but it's Kardashian turf. Well, yeah, and there also were many years where not only was she, like, met Gala Queen, but she was also, like, Queen of Vogue. She was on the September issue, like, two years in a row, one time with Karlie Kloss. Like, you're, like, a darling of Condé Nast. Yeah, and now it's only, like, Kim, Kylie, and Kendall who go. Yeah, Khloe didn't have fun, and Kourtney hated her outfit. And you know what? I
Yeah, or sometimes, like, I feel like Demi Lovato has spoken about the fact, like, she got to go to the Mac Island. It's like, yeah, so cool. But she had the worst time. She felt like everyone was staring at her. Like, she felt so insecure. She felt so out of place. She never went back. Like, sometimes you just don't like it. But Taylor likes it, yeah. And she went so many times. Yeah. You can't say the same thing. No.
Someone should look into that. I feel like Lily Reinhardt also went and hated it and talked shit about it. But I feel like Lily Reinhardt's kind of had a lobotomy. Don't you feel that? I feel like the Lily Reinhardt we know now is so different than the Lily Reinhardt who got famous with Riverdale. She was kind of radical. She was always against the institution and she didn't want to be too skinny. And she was too pretty. Yeah, and she hated that Kim wore a corset that made her look skinny. And she was very like an anti-establishment celebrity. And I feel like that didn't work for her. And now she's just like, yeah, I'm... I'm all in line. I'm pretty. And here's a pretty dress. Yeah, and I'm a woman in a rom-com. Yeah, I feel like I could see her now regretting having said those things about the Met Gala.
Yeah. Because I don't think that gets you invited back. No, she's honest. She has closed her mouth a bit. No, I'm telling you, she's had a change of heart. Maybe it's just like growing up. Like you get famous at a young age and you're allowed to change your mind about things. But I feel like she's so different than the gal that we once knew. Maybe. Or maybe like she started her career suffered. Of course. It's just like when you're always just like mouthing off about something. Like you're always complaining. It's very funny. Coming for other women too. And it's all in the spirit of like womanhood. It's like, okay, well, stop coming for everyone. Like, what did she come at Kim for? Oh, for doing like a crash diet on the Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Monroe dress. It's like, okay.
Yeah. Maybe it's just like, also part of growing up is like not everything you think and feel has to be said on a platform. Like it just doesn't have, you don't have to say everything that you think. Like, and so maybe she just sang less or it affected her career. I don't know. Or she just grew up. Like sometimes you get famous at a young age and you're like a young radical. I don't think she grew out of it. I just want to say. You know, I think she's like wearing that pink dress and she's going home and burning it. Yeah. Like the girl who is like doing this love hypothesis press store, wearing all these iconic, being like so like. All these movies. Getting all this attention based off of her looks. And all these movies that don't pass the Bechdel test. She would never back in the day. She's burning them when she gets on. I'm telling you. I'm telling you she hasn't changed. But like, change or don't change. It didn't bother me. I like the movie. I like the love hypothesis. And like, I'm sorry, but you are pretty.
I'm sorry that happened to you. Stop hiding it. That's what reminds me of my favorite. Oh, Adds a list of phrases that I love is when Boy George said to Chaperone, the world is at your feet. Stop kicking it. Phrases. Good terms and phrases. Oh, do we have a list like that already? Yes, we do. So Add, it's not a bug, it's not a feature. Okay. Oh, no. It's a feature, not a bug. Stealing Peter to pay Paul. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. What did I say? That's what I said. And then. The world is at your feet. Stop kicking it. No, I don't think that's a phrase. I think that's a Boy George original. I think so, too.
All phrases gotta start somewhere. Would you like to know your other favorite? Yeah, what else did we put on that? So there are a couple things. Is Flaubert on there? No, but there are a couple different ones, like using words as an adjective, like a Rachel Dolezal. You like that? Oh, yeah, we should. Rachel Dolezal more. The call is coming from inside the house. Well, that one has gained a lot of popularity. Yes, I think when we added it to the list, it was underrated, and now it's pretty rated. We all have a role to play in The War to Come. I love that one. Love that. Don't interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. That is a great phrase. Critical. Another word adjective, Sparky Palastri. We do not use Sparky Palastri as a bourbon-off. Yep. Then...
some other additions is the blank in the room this is under a section this is old claudia's additions yeah this is old like when people started saying that on the internet it was such a good people being like don't i look so glad and someone's like is the glamour in the room with us like now it's overplayed yeah but i remember saying i wanted to like start saying it more because when i would see people saying it online i thought it was really fun i think we said it no it's been beat to death was achieved yes agreed um multitude of sins and then history is written by the victors that's a chilling one when you think about it and then like another enter and then just eating crow dark That's the list. Okay, another day, another list. Another day, another list. Are you ready for our next one? Mm-hmm. Meghan Markle was spotted out to dinner with Malala. You're kidding me. Girl, night. Girl, night. GNO. GNO, Meghan and Malala in, um. When they went with Malala, she's going to show up where you least expect her to. Like, the fact that she's, like, a women's rights activist who was shot in the face is just merely, like, a small fact about her. Because she's also just, like, a girl. I think she went to the Arab store. Like, you obviously wouldn't expect to see Malala Youssef at the Arab store, but it's like, why not? She's just a girl. Of course not. The girl who wants to enjoy her girlhood. Right, and whose girlhood was, like, literally almost taken from her.
Yes, of course. And, like, the point is to go to the Aeros tour. No, of course. And I don't know why I just, like, put her in a box of, like, serious young women. She's only 29. No, and it's like, where would a 29-year-old, the Aeros tour? Yeah. I don't know if she went to the Aeros tour, but I'm using that as, like, she's always, like, going places. I'm like, yeah. At first, I'm like, oh, that's weird. I'm like, wait, no, it's not. Like, it's literally just Malala. Like, she's just a girl. Enjoying her freedom. Yeah, literally. And she took her freedom to meet up with Meghan Markle. And you know what? In London. They went to the foyer and reading room at Claridge's, the famed hotel in London's neighborhood. I've heard of it.
It was a catch-up between friends, is what a source tells the magazine. Well, Malala's 29. I didn't know that. Obviously, she has a maturity beyond her years. And it's, like, funny, because to me, she's, like, 100, but also 17. Because, like, she's famous or known for the thing that happened to her when she was a young girl. But she's such a serious activist. And I'm like, okay, but she's also 50. Yeah, no, but she's 29 and Megan's 45. So, sort of unlikely friends, but not really. No, I would say unlikely friends. Okay, okay. I mean, they both, like, Megan...
is about women, right? Like, she's always, she shares that video about the dishwashing pods. Megan is about women. That's a good point. Do you know the dishwashing pod story? Yeah. She wrote a letter to, like, the Canadian dishwashing company that was, like, doing commercials for their dishwasher, like, soap, and Megan was mad that, like, the only people in the commercials doing dishes were women. And, like, sorry that they accurately reflected culture because, like, I've never seen my husband do the dishes. But, like, I respect the message. And if you saw a commercial of, like, man doing dishes, like, I wouldn't buy that soap, actually. It's inferior. No, no, no. If I actually saw, like, a commercial for dishwashing pods and it was all men doing the dishes, I would say, okay.
Obviously, this company is inferior. Like, their soap can't even be used by men. Because I've seen my husband do the dishes. You're telling me he's using the soap? I wouldn't use it. No, and I would say, like, oh, so then men who do dishes will buy that soap. And you'll have zero customers. Good luck with your tails.
But she is, she's a woman, you know, female founder, confessional. Yes. So I see where they probably talked a lot about women. Yeah. And just like, I feel like they are in the same world of like. Definitely. Upper echelon. They're also like. Upper echelon activists, philanthropists. And I wouldn't even call it like her a celebrity. Yeah, right. Top tier. Yeah. I hope they had fun. You think they had cocktails? You think Malala drinks? For sure. I mean, why not? A little. When you've been shot in the face, I feel like there's nothing you won't do. Malala, totally. No, she has like a Negroni, you know? Oh, you think so? A thousand percent. I think Megan has a white wine. Oh, Megan is so Sanchete. And I just feel like whenever you're.
If there's two people out to dinner, like, you split. Like, you drink the same thing, but I'll have what she's having. Yeah, even though, yeah. Like, I'm not drinking white wine and you're drinking tequila. Unless we're both doing cocktails. Unless you're going out with me and it's like, I don't care what you're having. I'm getting the same thing no matter what. Yeah, like, I'm not a sharer. Oh, you're getting a... Claudia. You have such a wild side that everyone should get to know. You sing and you dance at any place we go. Can we just see my big sis Olivia tonight? Oh, you are seeing her? Mm-hmm.
Of course you are. So cute. Cute. Girls night. Our next story is a little podcasting news. I just saw this coming in. Is it about the Golden Globes? No, it's about our fellow Golden Globes nominee. Joe Rogan has renewed another nine-figure Spotify deal. You're kidding. Is this his third one? So I think so. The relationship started in 2020, and they are extending that relationship under the agreement Spotify will continue to handle ad sales and licensing for Joe Rogan, which is available across multiple services. Terms have not been disclosed. Everybody tries to keep their numbers under wraps, and nobody does. I feel like the Giggly Squad number wasn't released, and then insiders came out and shared.
Joe Rogan's like never really get released. No, they do. And it's, he's estimated. And the Giggly Swap was a similar thing where it's like, they didn't say this is it, but it's the streets. Right, the streets say. An estimated earn out of $250 million over the term. That was his last year. I think his last year was $250 million and then the first one was like $100 million. Yeah, and his new deal is similar to the one that was $250 million. That's what. You know, he might be the first podcasting billionaire. He's on his right. He's trending. Yeah. Oh, and Spotify has this new thing. I don't know, but where you can see, because like you can't really see how many people listen to a podcast. Like, so a lot of people like look like they have a lot of listeners. Maybe they don't. A lot of people don't look like they have a lot of listeners and they do. And yeah, like.
On Spotify, you can see that's the only platform that give you metrics like 50K, 100K. 3 million, 1 million, 2 million plus, 1 million plus, 2 million. Like almost all of his episodes. This one, Andrew Huberman, 4 million. The Luke Holmes one is 7 million. So it's like, I don't know how many podcasters are at that level. Those are insane numbers. Insane numbers to sustain over so long. Spotify said of him, Joe has built something incredibly enduring and his show continues to resonate with a massive global audience because there's simply nothing else like it. And you know what else is that?
I feel like when Spotify wanted to enter the podcast game, because we now, like, every time I listen to a podcast, I listen to it on Spotify. Back in the day, like, that really wasn't the case, so they made this, like, concerted effort to start, like, snatching up shows, and Joe was the first one they snatched up, and I feel like probably their most successful, like, in terms of getting people to switch, like, no, because people listen to Joe Rogan, like, listen to a lot of podcasts, like, it was kind of smart. No, but it has to switch because it was only on Spotify for years. Now it's on Apple again, but it doesn't even matter if people are accustomed to listening on Spotify. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, the type of people he brought to Spotify, like, are people who probably listen to a lot, like Huberman, and all the other, Tim Dillon, and so now they ended up listening to all of their podcasts on Spotify, and I If I'm at Spotify, yeah, give him whatever he wants. Yeah, they said Spotify's podcast business has grown alongside JRE over the years and we're excited to keep building on that partnership for years to come. Yeah, like talk about delivering in your partnership. Yeah, I feel jealous, of course. $250 million is just like, I actually feel no amount of money is enough for me, but that really, then of course I have to split it with you. Well, I've heard that $200 million is the sweet spot.
For net worth. I don't know. Maybe like a Reels or something. For net worth. For net worth. Because like any higher and you're a monster. And like it's not real and you're not like living. You're just out of touch, obviously. Obviously. But $200 million, you get everything you want. You can enjoy it. Yes. But you can also lose $200 million. And I think like the threat of being able to go broke, not. It should keep you sharp. Humble, fat, hardworking, 100%. I don't think Elon Musk could go broke if he wanted to. You know what I mean? And that's threatening. Yeah. But Elon is different even from other like billionaires. He doesn't even have a home. Oh, yeah. He's one of those Shailene Woodley types. Sorry. Jeff Bezos. Let's say Jeff Bezos. Yeah. Yeah.
I just want to say, I know I've said this once and I'll say it again, will never be me. No, I know. They say like, if I win the lottery, I won't say, but there will be signs. And I just want to say about Joseph, though, of course, you know, agreeing with envy over his deal. Like it's also so great what he does for like that. For fellow podcasters. For fellow podcasters that like he, like he sets the bar and then he also meets it. Like some people get a huge deal and they don't deliver and then those huge deals don't go out. Don't come to other podcasters. Don't go out. You know what I mean? And he also like lifts up a lot of other podcasters on his show. Like. He's doing good work in the industry. It's true. It's good for the medium. He is the medium. Well, obviously I'm jealous. I am extremely happy for you, Joe. You did it, Joe.
We did it, Jo. We didn't do anything. We did it. We did? Are you ready for our next story? If it's our next story, that's brought to you. Bye.

I accept. You're welcome. Our next story, Crazy Rich Asians, is returning for an HBO sequel series with original stars. So Crazy Rich Asians, the beloved movie. The best movie ever made to watch on a plane. Is officially receiving a sequel series on HBO. A lot of the main characters are reprising their roles from the film. Constance Wu and Henry Golding are coming back as Rachel Chu and Nick Young. And Ronnie Chang and Michelle Yeoh are also reprising their roles. So Ronnie is the cousin Eddie and Michelle is the mother-in-law. Love this. I hate sequels. I hate when people don't let sleeping dogs lie. But this movie is so good. And yeah, sure.
And Constance Wu, like, I'm cheering for her. Like, she got canceled just for, like, being a bitch, you know? And it's like, okay, who hasn't been? It really stuck to her. Yeah, I know. I feel like she was really treated unfairly. Like, I'm sure she was a bitch. Like, okay, it's literally not a crime. Like, I'm just so over it. And I feel like she had, like, a concerted effort a few years ago to, like, come back. And, like, it didn't really stick either. And I kind of feel bad for her. Like, I don't remember what she did, but I just remember it being, like, not that bad. I don't remember exactly. But, yeah, it was just, like, being mean. Classic stuff. But maybe she just wasn't at a place in her career where she could, like, withstand those allegations. She still needed, like, new parts and, like, took her a favor. And nobody wanted
I guess, like, the public was the one who canceled her. But, like, if industry has your back, like, you'll... No, it felt like industry. The public doesn't care. No, it felt like she got kind of, like, blackballed. Yeah, the public doesn't care. Right. What happened on your set, really, like, when she was mean. And it's, like, I think on a subconscious level, we know that every single celebrity is, like, a nasty little bitch. And it's, like, some have better ways of hiding it. It's true. And, like, plenty of people, like, J-Lo and Raya Carey have, like, those diva allegations. And we love it. And it's just, like... Excuse me, Naomi Campbell threw a cell phone out of her assistant's face. It's just part of their brand. 100%. And I think it was more industry than anything else because the public really doesn't care, like, that on your set she barked in order for
When I really think about it, Anna Glenn, she was on that show, Fresh Off the Boat with Randall Park. It was so popular. So good. And then Crazy Rich Asians. And it was like, literally, what happened to her? Hustlers. Hustlers. That was like a good role for her. But it didn't stick. Not a lot of momentum. Meanwhile, a lot of people from the original movie have gone on to do big things. Michelle Yeoh, Wicked. John M. Chu, the director. Oh, is Crazy Rich Asians John M. Chu? You know what? I see the Wicked vibe in...
Like, the way that the visual of the Crazy Rich Asians movie is. Love this. Like, I don't know what the premise is. Maybe it's like their kids having, like, a 16. So, it's going to be eight episodes delve into the characters in the worlds of Kevin Kwan's books. So, I think there are sequel books. Oh, you know what? There are sequel books. Yeah. So, they get to work. It's already written. It's already written. It's not going to be bad. It can't be bad. I would actually love another movie. I don't know why they're going to do. Maybe just series are more profitable than movies these days. Yeah. But, yeah. Why not a Crazy Rich Asians sequel? Especially, there's, like, a running joke on the internet that, like, when you get on a plane, like, the first thing you have to do is put on Crazy Rich Asians. It has, like, a resurgence with a younger audience, too. I think there's, like, it
I agree. It must be more profitable to do a series. Like, the movies just aren't what they used to be. And a lot of books don't have sequels. So, like, when they make a sequel out of a book, like, it's like, okay, you're just making shit up. But, like, Game of Thrones famously had, like, a million books and that was done really well. So, when books have sequels and then the sequels also get turned Twilight. No, one of my goals in life has been to learn Mahjong so I can finally understand what happened in that final scene between Rachel and the mother-in-law when, like, she obviously did something very gracious towards the mother-in-law and letting her win. So, Rachel had Mahjong, but she didn't.
Call it. Call it. Because she knew the piece that the mom needed. So she waited until she got the piece and literally gave it to her and then walked away and showed her tiles being like, I had mosh on the whole time, but like, I let you win. And I let you think that you won. Because she was walking away from the relationship. Yeah, she was walking away. I need to watch it. And I guess the piece was the boy. The son. It's like, you win.
But because I let you win. Exactly. I have to watch it now. Yeah. Chills. A truly beautiful metaphor. Culturally relevant. Beautiful. Oh, I really should watch it again. It's just such a good movie. It really is. Awkwafina. So this is going to be great. Love. I approve. And you know, I hate when people can't come up with original ideas. But you know what? I'm okay with this one. But this isn't even like them excavating something that like there's more books. The movie was huge. Great. Yeah. Are you ready for our next, our fifth and final story? I am. Karen Reed series has been ordered at Amazon starring. Karen as Karen Reed. Elizabeth Banks as Karen Reed. Oh.
I mean, why not? It took me a second to place Elizabeth Banks. At first, I thought you were going to say Elizabeth Olsen, and I was excited about that. I don't know why. I can't see Elizabeth Banks doing a good job at anything serious. She's so like, meh, you know? Well, so is Karen Reed, right? Karen Reed, but it's such a serious story. She was accused of murder. No, and Karen Reed is not. She's not a big fan. She's like a tough Boston cookie. She's crazy. She's intense, though. She's in the character. No, intense is a perfect word, but serious, as far as we know her in her public life. Yeah. Amazon Video has ordered the scripted Karen Reed series, starring and executive produced by Elizabeth Banks. It'll be eight episodes, drama.
Okay. Inspired by Law and Crime and Audible. Oh, it's based on a podcast? Oh, I guess Amazon also had probably an original podcast about it. By the Law and Crime and Audible original podcast, Karen. Karen, that's a good name. That's a good name for the show, too. Yeah. Okay. Not to be confused with that movie. Karen with... Taryn Manning. From... I get clips of that movie sometimes. Not in the way I get clips of Girl in the Basement. Oh, okay. I meant to tell you, the movie I'm currently watching on reels is Girl in the Basement, which is based on a true story. It's chilling. With the father. The father.
And the kids. It's disgusting. And the kids they brought upstairs. I've seen it on Reels. Oh, my God. That movie was very upsetting. She finally goes to the nurse and keeps walking. And she's running. I also didn't know because I watched it. I'm like, oh, this is an Oscar-nominated movie. It's a Lifetime movie. Do you know that? Of course. A lot of Reels movies are. Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't hit that side. Because they like the high drama storyline. And they only have to find the best bits. They're ripe for a straight-to-Reels movie.
Karen the movie. With Taryn Manning. Was a crazy time. A thousand percent. So Karen Reed the story or Karen Taryn Manning. We'll see which is better. Karen Manning. And that sort of ended her career. She's had an interesting career. No it didn't end her career. She like comes and goes. Like she was literally from Crossroads for a decade. Then she just came and got a role on Orange is the New Black. Which I think gave us a bit of a resurgence. But then she disappeared for a little bit. Then she came back for that one random movie Karen. And I haven't seen her since. No that movie Karen is career ending. As it should be. I look forward to seeing what she does next. Yeah. In a few years.
But in the meantime, Elizabeth Banks is playing Karen Reed. I think I will continue to ignore the story in general. You may watch it. As I did during the trial. And, you know, you just can't take everything on, really. You really can't. Time for Queenie and Weenie of the Week. Yes. Obviously, the Queenies are the nominees. I didn't want to say it. But obviously. Yeah, and I would say that the Weenies are everybody else on the list because good luck thinking you're going to beat us.
and the Queenies are obviously the Golden Globes for recognizing us and like seeing in us what we do see in ourselves but and you know what I would say also for the Golden Globes for taking a chance on us because obviously like we should be nominated for everything all the time but we a lot of people are afraid we don't get nominated and then they all go from like the same list of like oh the four and thank you for taking a chance and like recognizing us and it takes such like critical thinking skills honestly like the first one to be like nobody wants to be the first nobody wants to be the first Golden Globes Queenie that video you were telling me about about the girl and then yeah weenies will be our losers the losers not us it won't be us because even if we don't win We're winners, baby.
