Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday! Oh my god! Oh my god, like, OMG. Joyous. Joyful, joyful, Lord, we adore thee. I love sister act. Hi, speaking of sister. And actresses.

Yeah, how are you? I am good, turt. I am doing well. I'm wearing our final piece of merch. I think I've worn the entire collection on the show this week. Actually, I didn't wear the t-shirt, but I'm wearing the sweatpants. I wore the sweatshirt the other day. Now I'm wearing the sweatpants. I'm so cozy. I love a merch launch week because it's a fantastic excuse to wear cozies on the show. 1,000%. You look good. Thank you. You look good.

I like your sweater. Thank you. So I was waiting to get called out. I stole this sweater. Jackie, I was at your house, and we were going somewhere, and I needed just a nice shirt. And I went in, and I found this shirt. It's from Zara.

It's like a million years old. It's literally the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm about to go take it, because it's a little old. And it's Zara, so it's not like the most amazingly. I'm about to take it to the tailor and spend more money just like fixing up some of these buttons like I want it to be perfect. It's gonna end up costing me more than the shirt originally cost. It's so cute. It's a perfect summer blouse. Thank you for letting me. I just saw it and I was like I'm not even gonna negotiate with you like this shirt is mine now. It's totally fine. What's so crazy is I'm pretty sure I took it from Margot. It's Sisterhood of the Traveling shirt.

Really shirt. Really shirt. Really turt. Done. So thank you for this. I love this shirt. I feel so, like, beautiful. You look so beautiful.

My shirt today is Skims. It's a bodysuit. Toast sponsor. We love to. I've been really, like, engaging with the toast sponsors recently. I just got a package, my Honey Love package. I mean, I just got an email. My Honey Love package has been delivered.

I have really been engaging with the toast sponsors. I got a shipment from Cozy Earth because I got new bedding. And I did something smart where I got a different color of bedding so that I know which pieces belong to which. I'm not reading labels. Like, has everyone been doing that this whole time? I don't want to, like, say anything negative about your home, because I love it there, and I remember the last time

I gave some constructive criticism, I got in trouble. But your linen closet? It's confusing. And everything is for a queen-size bed, first of all, because I had a queen-size bed for so many years. And how many queen-size beds do you have in your current home? One. When Bruno peed.

My old bed. Right. When Bruno peed on the guest bedroom bed, Jackie and I were tasked with changing the sheets. We seriously were in that linen closet. It was like one of the darkest times of my life. Right. So I reached out to Cozy Earth.

I'm like, can I please get, I need another set of King everything. Because one thing about Bruno, he loves peeing on the bed. And I like don't want to put my boy on blast. Like he literally did it two nights ago. He peed on my bed. No. And he had just gone. Usually when he has an accident, I'm like, oh, that's on me. I know I didn't take you out in a timely manner. He had gone out recently before that. So now it's just like a fun thing he does and it's not going to work for mama. No, no. There isn't a more annoying place a dog could pee it is so inconvenient and I've gotten to a place because I'm actually I have an excuse at least I'm like training a puppy he pees on the bed quite frequently and I've gotten to a place where I am not changing the sheets like I am soaking it up

I am spot treating it and then I'm blow drying it like seriously agreed usually Bruno his favorite thing to do aside from go to the Maldives and spend all his cash on Magnolia, is to go into the pillows, ruffle around in there, and sometimes leave a pee on our pillows. So in that situation, you have to change the sheets because you can't be sleeping so close to urine. No, of course. But a pillow is kind of a dream.

It's just one pillowcase. It's never just one pillowcase. Not with that shy guy. This time, it was like towards the lower half of the bed. Yeah just one pillowcase it's never just yeah not with that shy guy this time it was like towards the the lower half of the bed yeah I spot treated it mommy's not changing the sheets it's just not it can't it can't happen like it's just not and every time I do it I regret it and every time I do it I wind up not sleeping with my bed complete I wind up sleeping on the mattress pad the first night because it's always at night right yeah and then I have no sheets sheets. I sleep on the mattress pad with a blanket. I don't get my bed back together for like four days. It's a four day process. I want to say something really quickly,

like two really quick housekeeping announcements, because when I arrived in my studio today, there is a fucking humming outside my window. I don't know where it's coming from. If it is being picked up on the mic, you're not hearing things. I can't do anything about it. It'll be gone hopefully by Monday. If you're watching on YouTube, you might be saying, Turdi, what are you sitting on? And I'm here to tell you, I have purchased a tailbone pillow. Like I got sick. I was, I'm being proactive. I got sick of being in pain after sitting. I am so comfortable right now. It's like special pillow to release some of the pressure off your tailbone. And I'll report back, but it's like special pillow to release some of the pressure off your tailbone and I'll report back, but it's from Amazon and so far I'm loving it,

but it is so like not aesthetic, you know, I can't see it from where I'm sitting. Yes. This black thing right here. Considering we have different butt pain. Cause I don't have tailbone. I have upper cheek.

So this might work for you. You think it would work for upper cheek? I don't know. I literally Googled like tailbone pillow. Why don't you Google like butt cheek pillow? Yeah. I'm going to also Google like butt cheek pain. You know, maybe there's a community for me. Well, I found my community. A lot of girls let me know they had the exact same issue, especially after losing weight. And it's a pelvic floor issue that either therapy or certain like physical therapists like should be able to help with. It's like an

easy problem. But what would I talk about if I didn't have my tailbone problem? So you're saying you're skinny? I mean, I wasn't saying that. But if you wanted to glean, yeah, you could like infer that from what I said. You know who's a pelvic floor expert these days? Who? Lauren Elizabeth. Do you know about her pelvic floor?

Is that from like birth? Yeah. She had like a whole or like the way she's I'm like know about the cervix she knows about the pelvic floor we all come to these journeys in our own time and in our own ways and if we put all of our knowledge together we're unstoppable unstoppable and we're just unstoppable in general because it's Friday we both look amazing we have such a fabulous show I actually chose the stories today which I was excited excited to do. So yes, you sent me a bunch of stories and I just took a look at my usual sites and there were so many stories today. I still haven't whittled them all down. I am using most of yours, but not all because there were so many stories. I just want to say,

and I feel like you're going to choose it, but I meant to text you like I could live without the Kylie Jenner one. I just feel like we've had this conversation 55 times already. I agree. I was meant to write back to you and be like, are you sending this because like, it seems like something we should talk about or because you want to talk about it? Because I don't really want to talk about it. Me neither.

I've said what I've said on record a thousand times and I'm not interested in having that conversation again and talking to like, you know, a wall. Great. Okay. So I think three out of the five that you sent me are in the lineup. The other two are wild cards.

We also have Queenie and Weenie, which is so exciting. I was able to pick my Weenie, of course, as usual, instantly. And I actually had two. I was overwhelmed with options. Queenie took me a minute, but I got there. And I'm so excited. That's my favorite segment of the week every Friday. Jackie and I do a little game called Queenie and Weenie of the Week,

where we give an award to somebody who acted like a Queenie and somebody who acted like a Weenie this week. Now it's not it's not permanent you can be Queenie one week Weenie the next so don't get too comfortable. Oh that's not happened. It's all in good fun. Yeah it's weird no one's been Weenie and then Queenie. I've been waiting for Normani's management to do something amazing with Normani so that I can take them from Weenie to Queenie but they haven't dazzled me yet no and like the album came out right like the opportunity is lost yeah okay so let's get into let's further ado oh it's like so quick I don't know what else you want to say I don't know I'm feeling so hustled now I had a very busy day yesterday of trying on seamless for our show. Same. It was a humbling experience, but not totally fruitless.

I got two dresses out of my big order. That's something. Mine was completely fruitless, except I learned something. You know, it's always good when you can learn something. I had placed like the biggest order from Revolve, and I was not even worried about what I was going to wear to these shows. I'm like, I can always get something at Revolve. Although it has been a minute since I ordered from Revolve, but for a while it was

really my go-to place for real clothes. Like not fast fashion. It's a little bit more expensive, but it's always been worth it compared to all these other websites because it's real clothes. No. And so many of the things that I have in my closet from years ago, like are from Revolve, like they will hold up. They'll, you know, still have the seams intact. Right. But I want to ask if anybody else has had this experience recently, because like I opened up a box of shit, a box of crap, a box of seriously, you could mistaken it for Shein. And I had sent you a couple of pictures, Jackie, the stuff I didn't send you pictures of, like seriously devastating. And something has changed at Revolve. Something has changed within them. I couldn't help but wonder what has changed at

Revolve. Like I, the quality was crap and I wasn't being cheap. Like I placed a big order. I couldn't help but wonder what has changed at Revolve. Like I, the quality was crap and I wasn't being cheap. Like I placed a big order. I wasn't planning on keeping everything, God willing, I could have, but this was like, I didn't, I spared no expense. We're playing the beacon theater. This was me, you know, going balls to the wall. And it was so disappointing. It was so crappy, so flimsy, so wrinkly. It was giving she in. It looked like the box like fell off the back of a truck. I have so many thoughts and theories on what it could be. Now, first I want to give revolve that the benefit of the doubt and say, maybe it's a sign of the times. He's trying economic times and materials are suffering. Costs are staying the same, usually increasing and the materials

are suffering. Just like at the grocery store. Now you get less chips in the bag because they want to keep the price of the bag of chips, the same price. They don't want to increase the bag of chips price, but they have to decrease the amount of product. That's just, you know, it's called shrinkflation and it's happening with tampons too. A lot of women have been going to the doctor because they think their flow is getting heavier in an unnatural way. But super tampons are not the size they were a year ago. It's actually, I read all about this on TikTok.

Women are like freaking out about tampon sizes. Oh, wow. It's called shrinkflation. Yes. The bag of chips isn't going up in price, but the amount inside is, so their costs are going down. Right. So what would you prefer though, as the consumer, because the cost of everything is going up. These businesses, they're not charities. Like they still have costs to make. I think they probably, some of them. Greedy. Greedy. But most of them, like, this is what it costs to make. I think they probably, some of them. Greedy. Greedy, but most of them, like this is what it costs to make it. This is what it costs to sell it. Shelf space, shipping, like this is what it fucking is.

Would you rather have the bag of chips go up in price or have less chips in your bag? At the end of the day, it's the same out of my pocket. Yeah. So I don't give a fuck. I guess I just, I don't like when things change. So leave the chips the same inside, you know? Leave the same inside. Okay, so the cost of chips goes up.

So all I have to say, maybe that's what happens with Revolve. Like materials, and their brands. Like the materials cost more. We're using crappier materials to keep things at the same price. That's one theory. Second theory is maybe you've changed in your style a little bit. Maybe you have a little bit more of an elevated style and you're looking for better made things. Also, that could be about getting older. I feel like fast fashion is sometimes, you know, younger pieces, trendier pieces,

but now you want pieces that will stand the test of time. By the way, that's fair. It did occur to me that perhaps Revolve hasn't changed. I have. However, like you said, I have pieces in my closet that are from Revolve that I still love and I still wear and I still have in my rotation. So I don't know. Now let me tell you my issue with Revolve because I went shopping on Revolve to get some options too. And I'm sure I've changed too. But everything on Revolve is naked, cutouts, breasts. Like if you don't have fake breasts or no breasts, how are you wearing these

things? Everything is like that. It's crazy. Like just walking around naked now. Yeah, no, all the clothes are cropped, cut out, sleeveless, boobie. And that's never been, I've always. TV, spaghetti straps, cut at the side, slid up to the pussy. Like where are the clothes? Oh, and it charged you so much money to wear nothing but here's the other thing because then yesterday I was like all right you know what maybe I've evolved past revolve maybe it's time that I graduate to forward which is their sister website for more expensive pieces and I've always known I don't know if I've ever bought anything on forward but yesterday was the first time I actually looked and I was really shook at the prices like it's a

jump it's not the next step it's a leap it's a leap it's Bergdorf's like it's those types of pricing and I feel like maybe that's intentional like Revolve becoming much more you know flimsy and cheap so that if you're looking for real clothes you have to shop on forward but I didn't like I did not buy one thing on forward because it was just too expensive and everything was really gorgeous but like I'm I want to you know spare no expense but within reason yeah yeah that's a nice theory like maybe Revolve is intentionally becoming crappier because it feels that way it feels like a shift it feels like a shift and I can own up to my part in it me too but I've always

like not been you know the thotty style I've always had like a mature granny look we've never been the target demo for Revolve because we are you know big breasted women we're like you know we don't have figures like the typical Revolve customer like young hot TikTok thing like but I've always been able to find things for myself high-waisted shorts tops that I like dresses that I like they have a like my whole closet is Revolve and so as much as yes I have changed like not that much no I agree by the way I'm so glad we're having this conversation me too I like literally everything was naked I think I was in the naked edit perhaps so then this morning naked girl summer I placed a big order because I

was talking about this on my TikTok and somebody recommended I had totally forgotten about shop bop let me tell you I placed such a fabulous order from Shopbop today. And it was like, it was giving old school Revolve. It was giving right between Revolve and Forward because it was more expensive than Revolve, but nowhere near Forward. It was like those mid-tier brands like Alexis, Zimmerman, like pricey and real, but not Forward pricing. Yeah. That reminds me of like Intermix. I don't know how good their e-commerce is. So stay tuned for Shopbop. Even though I interned there one summer, so I should know about their e-commerce. You should.

But things change. People change. You should check out Tucker Nook. I don't know if you're there yet, because it's also very much like a Southern style. For tour? Not for tour, but just for daily life. So all's that to say, I have no dresses yet for tour, and like now I have a pit about it I have two and a half all we really need right now is two for the beacon

you know we have a little bit more time I have a beacon dress and I have a Hamptons dress that second dress the flower one you guys aren't ready it's a departure so I'm like a departure for your girl I'm kind of anxiety about it like it's kind of like ruining my excitement for the upcoming live shows yeah you just have to place a ton of big orders I have like a lot of things coming in the next few days so do I shit against the wall hopefully I can get to a place of like so I two dresses that I got from Saks worked one dress worked but it's it's a backup dress it's not a showstopper yeah and then I have one dress in my closet that you gave me that I haven't worn yet that I could also wear. I love that on you. So technically I've four dresses. Must be nice. Must be nice. What do you mean? You could

wear the dress that you wore to Celine Dion, which also I want to try. Yeah, of course. But I want to wear something new and fresh. Jax, we're playing the big kid. I tried on the dress that I wore to our toast anniversary party, which I love that dress so much. And I'm like, why not wear it again? I know wear it again I know we took a million pictures it's likely right likely and I tried it on and I literally was like transport I had deja vu and then I'm like oh I've seen you so many times so many pictures so many videos like I actually can't wear it again in such a public way it's like the girl has one dress it's the same brand as Celine Dion dress. Likely is fantastic. Likely is fantastic. And I also placed an order there yesterday. It is extremely underrated and extremely affordable for dresses.

And it's been fantastic for a while. I have dresses in my closet from, I want to say, 10 years ago. I agree. When we spoke at Miami University, I wore a really old Likely dress. But I was pregnant, so I just didn't zip it up the back. And I wore a blazer over it. Life hack. Because we are, you know, scrappy like that, you know, we're going to make it work.

So don't worry about us. We're going to look amazing at our live shows. Just like, we're not going to turn around. You know, we know no one knows what's going on in the back. We are not going to turn around. We're so project runway. That was like at the Panthers game. I didn't even show you guys that I'm literally Christian Seriano, but I had this like oversized leather jacket. I didn't have any

Panthers gear, but the brand had sent me some stickers. So I put a Panthers sticker on my leather jacket and I won Project Runway. It's giving unconventional materials challenge on Project Runway. And it's still, now I officially have a panthers jacket in my closet because it's still on because you are a designer yeah no I am an industrialist we are scrappy we are industrious and we always in the words of Tim Gunn make it work it was a make it work moment turdy it was a make it work moment I love that really turd no but literally like me opening up this revolve box I was literally felt like Justin Timberlake I'm like this is up this revolve box I was literally felt like Justin Timberlake I'm like this is gonna ruin the tour Claudia I had such a funny idea for um a TikTok a piece of content obsessed so we'll talk offline let's connect offline let's content

create later I actually have a piece of content dropping today like in my content creator era that I've like shocked myself with I showed it to you the other day the reals it's a shocking piece of content you guys you are not ready for Jackie's and spawn con nonetheless like spawn con I had so much fun making it like I really felt like I was being original and violent in my work original and violent in your work. Original and violent in your work. I was living an ordinary life and being original and violent in my work. And I will post the video as we're uploading today's episode. So right now you can go and watch it. It's on my Instagram. And whatever the brand paid you, like they should have doubled it. Like it's the most, it's, it's shocking in its, um, genius. In its originality and violence? Violence, yeah.

For sure. The more I think about that quote, the more I like it. The more you understand why you wrote it down in the first place? Yeah. That's good. Yeah, I really do.

I like it. Really, Flo Burt? Really, because I like it, Burt. We seriously are not okay. No, we're not okay. After yesterday, I was watching a piece of our content. Fantastic. I enjoyed myself. It was giving not okay. No, we're not okay. After yesterday, I was watching a piece of our content. Fantastic. I enjoyed myself. And it was giving not okay. But that's like us. It is, especially on a Friday.

Yeah, I'm excited. You have any big weekend plans? No, my weekend plans are actually I do have I'm going out Saturday night. Party. With who? Mary Orton and your neighbors? Party. are, actually, I do have, I'm going out Saturday night. Partay. With who? Mary Orton and your neighbors? Partay. No, actually, with my other friends down here. Oh, she has other friends who don't live next to her. Cool.

Cool. Yeah. Mary Orton and I have really been, we've been chatting about, she loved her shout out on the toast. She said her husband was cackling about Mr. Orton. By the way, he is here too far. I'm sorry, Mr. Orton. Yeah, he is here too far. I'm sorry, Mr. Wharton. Yeah, he is.

But no, I'm getting ready this weekend. I need to pack. Even though I haven't started packing, like in my mind I have. You know what I mean? I've got lists. Toasty summer is upon us. Swirly girl summer.

Swirly girl summer. I haven't even told you about my weekend plans. I'm headed to the country with Ben's fam because it's Ben's dad's birthday tomorrow. Happy birthday to Bruce. And we're just going to like swim and pickleball and eat. And it's going to be fabulous. That is so fantastic.

Also, the other update from what we did yesterday is sandwich shop update. You and Ben are kind of butting heads creatively. We're having creative differences which is to be expected but this early on it's not a good sign as long as we're speaking to each other with respect i think that that's okay and i i don't think it's been disrespectful yet but we definitely are having different ideas of what the vision our vision for our sandwich shop is and i actually used AI to generate a photo

of the vibe I'm thinking of. So I think he was able to understand where I'm coming from. The thing is, you are thinking very Nancy Meyers. Ben is thinking very Jersey Mike's. He's thinking very Subway. Never the twain shall meet. Like there is no hybrid of that.

I'm sorry. Yeah, because you lose on both counts and then it's just like a mosh like it's like sweaty Nancy Meyers so Ben is seeing like your vision yes as probably like the better aesthetic idea but he thinks that his idea is more scalable more franchisable more uh could be bigger and ours is just very niche very mom and he had said, which sounded like an insult. Yeah, but I think that when you're building something, like you have to think about the one. Yeah, it's exciting to think about the 200,

and maybe this could be good at 200, but if you can't get a good one, there will be no 200. So if I'm making this incredible one, everyone will want it so much there will be 200. It starts at the top. Yeah, so that's where we've kind of stalled. But I think that we will be able to push through. And we are survivors.

We will get through this. And we will come out stronger. Yeah. We will. I would love for you to weigh in. Whose vision are you seeing more? I wasn't getting the vibe that it was mine. I cannot participate.

Like I can't, I can't take a side. Because let me say this. Let me say this. I actually agree with Ben. Like I can't see a franchise of sandwiches that are, you know.

My sandwiches. Yeah. But I don't like Ben's concept at all. So I think maybe we need to start from scratch. Like for real. Okay.

That's what I said. We need an official brainstorm. Like we should rent a conference room. All right. I'll get online and book it. Okay. Now. Now without further ado where there was much ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by our good old friends at State Farm, or as we like to say, State Firm. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by State Farm. When you get a new car or a new home, the first thing you might find yourself saying is, okay, how is this real?

Embrace your summer aesthetic with Jenny Cain. Thank you, La. What can I say except you're welcome. Our first story is some big, shocking, upsetting news about the man of the week, Kevin Costner. Yeah. Kevin Costner says he won't be returning to Yellowstone in a new video.

So he confirmed that he will not reprise his role as John Dutton for the final episodes of Yellowstone. So season five, second half, they're calling calling it 5B is supposed to be filming right now and coming out in the winter or whatever and he just said that he's not coming back he said hi everyone I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and that's what you know the reason for the season and all the press and doing all the things that's required and thinking about Yellowstone that beloved series that I love, you know, the reason for the season and all the press. And doing all the things that's required and thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love.

I just realized that I'm not going to be able to continue season 5B or in the future. It was something that really changed me. I loved it and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I won't be returning. I love the relationship we've been able to develop and I'll see you at the movies. I hate this announcement. It's very Vinny Chase coded, you know, like I'm currently, like I said, watching this part of Entourage and in the episodes we were watching last night, he gets like an opportunity, even though he's like

the most hated loser actor and he's still fucking it up. Okay. I don't like this. However, obviously like we love John Dutton, two things. One, at least like we're moving forward. Like we've been thinking about this, throwing this question back and forth for literally two years. So to have a concrete answer, even though it might not be the one some people wanted, I'm fine, honestly. At least we're moving forward. We're not at the standstill anymore. And two, the whole premise of the show up until this point has been the future of the ranch. What will happen after John Dutton? So you know in the final season like we kind of don't need John Dutton because we need to answer the question we set out to answer in episode one like who does the ranch

go to like succession ranch version Logan dot spoiler alert it's Republican succession I have a couple things I want to say one I hope that he filmed even some of season 5b so that I have a couple things I want to say. One, I hope that he filmed even some of season five B so that we have a goodbye, not just like, oh, John's gone. Yeah. How you doing? Two, why is it so hard for him to film these last five, ten episodes? It's half of a season and then it's over. The show is perfection otherwise.

Like, why can't you just get it together? And like, he is the show. The show would never have reached the levels that it did without him like he it's like as if Tyler Sheridan isn't there for the second half of the last season like you can't just make it work no it's so lazy and it's so honestly like I agree that for the plot it's not the worst thing ever but for the lore of the show like now it's going to be remembered as like a show where everyone fought and Kevin Costner couldn't hack it yeah and at the end of the day like you're right it's going to be remembered as like a show where everyone fought and Kevin Costner couldn't hack it. Yeah. And at the end of the day, like you're right, it's half a season left. If they are going to get rid of his character, like, which I actually think they should,

he could have done what two episodes. It's actually now it's a spoiler, of course, but it's also like, it's disrespectful to the fans. Like just finish it, like put up with whatever you have to put up with. I'm sure you and Tyler Sheridan hate each other. Figure it out for two fucking episodes. It is. It just kind of, it destroys the legacy of the show. Now that, and it's like too real. Like I don't even know if we'll be able to enjoy it.

We'll just know what's going on behind the scenes. It's like so term. Yeah. Even if they wanted to kill off John or whatever, like don't tell us you're not coming back. So then we can see it and be like, oh my God, John's gone. Now we all know what's going to happen in the second half of the show. So why did you have to do that? And I agree, it is disrespectful to the fans because this show is where it is because of the fans.

Like this show got no love, no press, no media, no awards. But because 14 million people were tuning in every week, it was impossible to ignore. Yeah, it's disappointing, honestly. And I can't stress enough how like not disappointing it is that Kevin Costner's character won't be in the plot of the show because I think that the show really can exist and maybe even exist better without him things now will happen like as opposed to like up he shot but he's back but just in terms of like decorum and the way that this could have been handled bad on all accounts everyone involved shame I'm mad about the spoiler who do we think the ranch goes to like

obviously goes to Beth and Rip obviously goes to Beth and Rip but after them well there aren't they taking in that kid I know but he's not a Dutton no he's not I think it eventually goes to Casey's son oh yeah I forgot about Casey I don't mind him yeah and that way it's like a nice ending because he is half Dutton and half um native native and so and they've always been disputing about the land anyway so now it's everyone's land if it's his but that's too perfect something's gonna happen to that kid something no but he's it's nothing's gonna happen to him but like it's gonna be a hard road to get there. But can't everyone see that as like he's the only heir? He represents everyone who wants a piece of the land

and now we all have a piece of the land. Cool. Yeah, yeah. Like it's not that hard. The issue is the sharks coming in. You know, now like. And the economy. No, the people, like that woman who wants,

they all want to buy up the land. So it's like, what's the name of the president? The lady? No, no, no, the guy. It's been like three years. The one from Twilight. Oh, the native, the mayor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know his name. Love him. Yeah. He and John need to come, or he and the Duns need to now come together because there are all these outside non-Montana, like non-indigenous forces that want to ruin the land, put an airport. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

That's a good motto, too. That's like a classic, very colloquial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one I don't think gets forgotten. No, because it's a good one. Mm-hmm. Also, one that is very, very common that I actually don't think is forgotten. No, because it's a good one. Also, one that is very, very common that I actually don't think is a slay at all

is keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Like, no, get the fuck away from me, Smelly. I totally agree. Like, I want nothing to do with you. If you're my enemy... Like, only a sick person keeps their enemy closer than their friends. Like, what are you, miserable all the time

surrounded by people that you hate and the good people that you like are... That love you. Thrown on the side of the road? Terrible, terrible motto. It needs to be recalibrated. Like, keep a watchful eye. Yeah.

You know, to say that, like... Keep your friends close and your enemies within arm's length. I don't know. I want them out of sight. Like, who harps on their enemies all the time? Like literally me and Taylor Swift. Yes.

Not you. Not you. No, no, no, no. Definitely not. Never turt. Never turt. Okay. So goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. You were bigger than the whole big sky. This is Big Loser Energy energy I was trying to say big sky oh that's good Montana big loser energy radiating from this whole saga but at least it's over and I'm pretty sure in all the headlines I saw this week I saw one where Kevin Costner was like mad about all like the rumors about the set drama and it's like let me say something I don't know much and I've never

met these people Kevin Costner is definitely toxic like I could just yes he is definitely diva definitely asshole like I can just see it I think I could see a lot of people on that show being an asshole, you know? But he definitely doesn't seem like the innocent in all this. Because if he really was, like, harmless and innocent, he would have just kept his head down and finished the show for the fans. But the fact that he was, like, fine with, like, kind of saying fuck you to the fans, like, he definitely has prick-like tendencies.

So you're saying he's 62 and still growing up now. I would say that. Who you are is not who you've been. You're not an innocent. 62 was a guess. Let's see how old he is. I think it sounded right when you said it to me. I had to say it with certainty.

69. LOL. 69 and still growing up now it doesn't slap as hard well well well they really ruined that number like it's so dumb it's so dumb it's hilarious are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Our king Luke Combs is crying. Is crying. He's making JJ Watt crying. He's crying. Everyone's crying. It's an emotional time. It is. It is an emotional time for sure. The summer just sort of brings it out in people. Luke Combs is crying. He was on a podcast and he got emotional revealing that he missed the birth of his second son Beau. So he said he's still emotional about missing his 10-month-old son, Bo's birth.

When his wife, Nico, Nicole Combs, gave birth to their second child in August, 2023, the country singer was on tour in Australia. He spoke to Apple Music One's Zane Lowe, and he said, I haven't really told anybody about that. He calls it a really hard truth to face. He noted that Bo's arrival was one of the best and one of the worst days in his life. It's still hard to wrap his head around. His voice broke as he detailed

the unfortunate situation telling listeners he woke up from a text to a text from his wife who was two and a half weeks before her due date and she said I'm so sorry I really tried not to have the baby while you were gone. He hinted that Nicole who was with her mom and her sister at the time facetimed him while delivering Bo. He said I got to see him be born which was awesome he praised both his and his partner's great support systems clarifying that his closest friends worked for him and that they were present through the whole thing he said it's a defining moment in my life for sure it sums up in a lot of ways some of the bad parts of the music business your schedule's crazy and you're traveling all over the place it's not like I can drop everything I'm doing and fly 18 hours home. Right. That's the thing.

If he was in the States, like he could have flown on a jet and gotten there. Maybe not exact time, but he would have been there for some of it. Like, couldn't you have been in a worse place, Australia? No. And I'm pretty sure like this tour date was set before Nicole got pregnant. So the show is set. The tickets are sold, are sold even though you know you might miss it like really what can you do nothing no and the fact that he could have made it if she hadn't gone early like it was still two and a half weeks before her due date so unfortunate I didn't know this is the first time he's sharing this um the clip like actually like made me cry his voice like croaks and he's just like actually like you could tell he's so upset about it and I feel like he

felt like like feel shame about it you know not being there um that's my king right there like let me tell you they can never make me hate him I'm trying to think of something Luke Combs could do that I would dislike him he could join an encampment but the thing is I know him very well like he's incapable of that sort of lunacy yeah so I'm trying to think like a realistic thing like yeah he could become a Nazi, but he wouldn't. Like, I know him. You know what I mean?

So what is something within the realm of possibility that Luke Holmes could do that would make me hate him? Nothing. Agreed. I feel like this story, it's that song,

his song, The Part, the part they don't tell you about about the job. Like, they'll tell you about the old guitars, like all the perks of the job. The songs you bought, the house, the cars.

How your hometown's proud. Of where you are. So they tell you about all the perks of the job, but there's a part that they don't tell you about, and it's literally this. Like the things that you miss. They tell you about the girls you get, but not the ones you'll come to miss.

Mm-hmm. Chills. So, that's it. And I also feel like most other not amazing people like Luke would be, like, bummed they miss the birth and then, you know, move on. But the fact that, like, it's 10 months later and, like, he can't get over it, it just... And he's still crying about it. What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.

Mighty good. Like, seriously, Stan, Till the Day I Die. Yeah. And, you know, he's always, like, opening up exclusively on the Zayn, what's his name? Lowe show. Mm-hmm. Because I remember the really only time Luke has ever spoken about his weight was on Zayn Lowe. And I think it was when Nico was pregnant and he was like, you know,

she, her being pregnant and just this like feeling of having kids is really making me think about my weight and my health like more than ever. And it was like a really sort of relatable and profound conversation. And it was on the Zane Lowe show. So maybe like him and Zane are like real boys because he's obviously comfortable there. Yeah, but he does a couple long, like he did Joe Rogan. Yep. He did a Rogan. Yep. He did a barstool show.

He did Theo Vaughn. No, he did Nelk Boys. Nelk Boys. I forget what the podcast is called, but. And he did the toe CMA red carpet. A couple of times. A couple of times a couple of times okay well well this heart hands to everyone lie less lie less are you ready for our next story sad news oh donald sutherland has passed away did you see see this? Yeah. At the age of 88 in Miami following a long illness.

I'm surprised of like of the stories that I sent you. I didn't send this one that you chose this. Yeah. President Snow. I just feel like like death stories are so. It's a dead end. Literally. Like what could we say Rip?

And it's not like this is someone who's always being spoken about on the toast. Like, when Queen Elizabeth died, like, we could have done a whole episode. Like, I don't know. I feel like this was a bad pick, honestly. There's people in between Queen Elizabeth and some of the other deaths that we don't announce. But I know I was bummed to see Donald Sutherland. Of course, nobody wants anyone to die except, like, Hitler. So, Rip. Rip Donald. Rip Donald. An

iconic like seriously an iconic actor. Of course. Was he also Dumbledore? Was he? Like after OG Dumbledore died like in the movies Dumbledore dies in the middle like not the character the actor I think. I thought Dumbledore made it all the way through. No? Ooh. That's a loser of. Donald Sutherland like either played Dumbledore or is Dumbledore coded, you know? Well, that's for sure.

But I'm not seeing on his list of things. Yeah, he was in one of my favorite movies, The Italian Job. What a great movie. Have you seen it? Never seen it. Oh, Turt. You should watch

that oh turt oh turt yeah you you would like it it's in the same vein of how you really like kingsman okay you know okay just mid-episode update this pillow is not helping at all i'm in more pain than ever i'm sorry la and he was also in a movie called Ad Astra which just feels like something I should watch just so I could say and talk about it Sag Astra Ad Astra greater than Sag Astra totally that's the Brad Pitt like space movie actually I saw it lol lol not memorable there was a period like a year where a lot of space movies came out it was giving snow white interstellar gravity and the martian the martian and then that astra yeah elon's influence elon it's always elon oh my god speaking of elon something that i actually wanted to make a story that i will i will make subset b to donald sutherland for reminding us of elon is that

chloe kardashian is getting a video series on X. Weird. Weird but I like it. So X is like doing some original programming on X. They're tapping talent because other people like have shows on X but I think it's just stuff that they. Political. Uh what? It's mostly political no? No but it's also like people give themselves like anybody can post a video on X and say I'm doing a show on X. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like exclusive. They're not being paid by X.

Right, but this is coming up from on high at X. She is launching a video podcast on X. The Elon Musk-owned tech company has inked a deal with Khloe, who will host a video podcast on the platform beginning this fall. The 26-episode series is still light on specifics, though it will blend Kardashian's boundary-pushing sense of humor with her signature relatability to tackle dilemmas ranging from the everyday to the ever-absurd.

It's part of the platform's original, the platform is called Originals on X, in which creators maintain ownership of their video content with a 24-hour exclusive window on the platform before they can post it elsewhere. That sounds fair. Oh, so she's basically, she's doing a podcast. Like it's going to be everywhere else too?

Yeah. Well, I feel like a lot of social media platforms like create original content with creators on their platform that only like Snapchat does it, TikTok does it. So this is really smart. And them tapping Khloe, like the people's princess, also very smart because there has been like demand for a while. The Kardashians, none of the Kardashians have a podcast and they're sort of like the face of social media

and like invented, influencing, whatever. Kim does. And podcasting. She had a podcast, a Spotify original podcast about. Barely. Criminal justice. Social justice. Yeah, that's not what people want.

Like when I think about the Kardashians, they're really not in the podcasting space at all. You want them to like sit down and gab. Yeah, like, and it's surprising because they're so like open to all new like social media platforms, new media, that's like kind of their thing and why they've been so successful

is they're on everything and they're everywhere. And so them, like not one of them, like even Chris, like not one of them having a podcast is like kind of weird. Yeah, and I think when you think about who should be the first sister to do it Chloe is the personality sister you know she had Chloe after dark she had cocktails with Chloe she was a host of X Factor like she's the one whose personality is super marketable so I think that this is a great idea I love the fact that

like Elon sees Chloe Chloe sees Elon and it really could and should become sort of like their version of Red Table Talk. Because I feel like there are so many times when we want them to speak on something. And they end up, you know, months later talking about it in a random interview. But if it's their own show, then it's like rising tides raise all shides. Like if, you know, Kim went on that random podcast that I hadn't even heard of to talk about like Balenciaga Gate. If she had spoken about it on, and all these people were listening to a podcast for the first time that they hadn't heard of, if it was their own show, that's just better for business. And it could be really good. And Chloe, you're right. Chloe is the only, really the only option for the host or

Chris. To start or Chris, but I also think Courtney could do a podcast because she's huge into wellness, like a push podcast. I mean, I'm shocked there isn't one because the wellness space is like huge for podcasting to have on all these experts I see these videos all the time and has anyone been seeing this guy I now get like he goes on a lot of podcasts and then his clips of when he's on the podcast like are coming to me and he's just like a wellness guy um he's now telling me I shouldn't use like pink Himalayan salt so now he said I should use Celtic salt and I'm like who is this guy where did he come from he's now on every podcast and what are his credentials most importantly I don't know his name I just know what he looks like from seeing the videos he's bald if that helps I don't know um let me know if everyone's been seeing this guy like

who is he and where did he come from and why am I about to switch out my salt because of him no no maybe look into his credentials first and he's also like a parenting expert and I've seen some of his takes on parenting and it's like nothing crazy you know it's like just good sound advice he's not a radical he went on that podcast of those two that married couple that are always like going viral Abby and Matt oh my god we have actually I could probably find this guy we have to talk I don't really want I feel two ways about talking about them because I have like if you have nothing nice I have so many unkind thoughts yeah about him him but I don't want to be like I don't want to say them because I feel bad for her yeah yeah yeah they're for those who don't know a couple who make they got you know their start on TikTok and they make TikToks together.

They do a podcast together and a lot of their content, most of their content is about, you know, balancing work and marriage and kids. They have two under two. And the wife, people love the wife. And the husband recently decided to like start making music. And a lot of their podcast clips have gone viral. He's definitely toxic. That's what I'll say.

But you're right. No, I actually don't have one positive kind thing to say about him. So I'll just shut my mouth. About him. Yeah. I see. I like her too. And I like her video.

She works hard. She works so hard. Oh my gosh. She's like full time mom. Full time content creator. Full time mom. Like always breastfeeding. Dealing with her husband who's like doesn't want to celebrate Father's Day

because it's too close to his birthday. So they're literally making a separate special day for them to celebrate Father's Day so he can have some distance from his birthday. She had to apologize to him last year because he had to barbecue on his birthday slash Father's Day. And he had to be put to work to barbecue. She doesn't stop, like, having babies, giving birth, making food, making content, working, breastfeeding, doing the dishes.

Working out. She's jacked. And he just started, he just rented an apartment a couple of roads down where he skateboards to so he can make music and silence while he leaves her at home all day with the kids. Honestly, I'm happy for her.

Like, leave, please. Get the fuck out. I don't want to hear her singing. I feel bad. Like, I don't have a kind words to say. They need to stop. You know, the thing is, everybody's life works for them. You know what I mean? Like, we can't understand't have a kind we need to stop you know the thing is everybody's life works for them you know what I mean like we can't understand it but they absolutely have to

stop sharing parts of their life because seriously it makes them look really bad and maybe it works for them and like maybe we can't understand it but like stop yeah and I just I don't want to say like these things that I just said because I feel like it just adds more stress to her plate her because I'm sure then she hates's like everyone said this about me and then she has to like help him no and he's just like making music for nobody and like the thing is I like made music obviously I never shirked my responsibilities in work or in my personal life for the sacrificing of my music because I know I'm not a serious songwriter and neither is he he his music making doesn't bother me at all compared to like shirking his responsibilities

as a husband and a father to go make music in a studio apartment that he says like that are so out of touch even I remember I saw a video like right after she gave birth and he was talking about his they're in the hospital and he's you know self-testimonial style like talking about his experience and how like he he you know um got Abby to he could have waited to go home formula because her milk wasn't coming in. And, like, that's how it goes when you just give birth and you're in the hospital. Like, your milk comes in slowly. You have colostrum.

And, like, he's, like, pressuring her to use formula when she's trying to breastfeed. I'm like, hey. I saw that on TikTok last night. And somebody stitched it and was, like, teaching people how little food a baby needs when they're one to three days old. Like, because their belly is the size of a peanut. So, so like even if she has so little milk coming in the kid is fine yeah no and it's and it's thick milk coming in it's designed for baby she also had breastfed she was breastfeeding into her pregnancy she would do like here's what I eat in a day breastfeeding I'm pregnant she would eat so much so like she's got a good supply I'm not worried about her supply

she's sort of like this superwoman, supermom with this deadbeat husband. And they insist on making content about his lack of contributions to the household. And I don't mean financially. I mean, in all senses. And they keep getting dragged and they keep sharing. I imagine maybe hopefully somewhere there too in a room watching this laughing, being like, it's working. Everyone's talking about us. We've we've bothered like this is engagement because I just saw so I saw the clip

of him saying we need to reschedule father's day because it's too close to my birthday I sent it to someone to be like hey yeah or yeah and then I saw like how we said we weren't gonna talk and then I saw this morning another podcast was watching the clip and about to react to it so I guess this has gone like very viral if people yes I mean if you have heard about it yes because it existed it started on TikTok so I see like I think maybe I hope somewhere they're like such a happy strong couple and they do these things to go viral because it's good for their business. Yeah, pray. Praying handsomely.

But anyways, all's to say she's such a queen, like the most patient woman in the world. I could never. Renting a second home to go make your music that brings in no money? Jill. Oh, all's to say the guy who's now been on every podcast giving me advice, and I have no idea who he is, but he speaks with authority, and I'm listening to him.

I don't know who he is. He's like the new Huberman. He saw, like, Huberman took a day off. Put me in, coach. Oh, Huberman's getting canceled? It's my time now. He's Fuberman. Fuberman, I love that.

And then backtracking once again to Courtney, who I think could have a podcast because wellness podcasts are all the rage. There's so much to talk about, and I would listen to her advice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I think this could be, this could be the start of something new. I hope she like takes it seriously and not just like, cause she's obviously getting paid by X. And so hopefully it's not just like a contract fulfillment. And I hope she really like wants to be a podcaster and can make this sort of the center of their media company they are this media empire no I think there's so much potential here for like good conversations as long as it's not just like you know someone else books the

talent prepares the questions then she's what I'm saying like I want to go deep I hope she looks at this more as like a real opportunity for her to grow as a celebrity and an influencer more so than just a job. Yes, I agree. I think it could be. Because it can exist off of Twitter. Yeah. It has a lot of potential.

And it could really be like transformative for her because I feel like these days she has a lot of anxiety about what the public thinks about her. And this is a way to put yourself out there be a little bit more understood in control I think it's good I'm really excited same and I ship Chloe and Elon I just want to say we we gathered in case anyone like was curious cool are you ready for our next story what number four yeah a little funny fashion mishap I guess Brie Larson and Alexandra Daddario accidentally twin in the same dress at an event in Italy so the two I just I'm sorry I chose better stories than this like you chose Kylie which we nixed already Lindsay Hubbard selling her wedding dresses story okay what else did I said and then the other one was Emma Stone saying she's fine about her birth name we love talking about people's names she I

actually watched the clip too she like was like embarrassed one of the interviewers was like what the hell am I calling you he like kind of just called her out and she was like honestly I don't care I just wanted everybody to know that like my name is not Emma. But in SAG, which I also didn't know, you can't have the same name as somebody registered. Like it's basically like a username.

And I just want to say, I think that's stupid and a role that should be changed. Yeah, that's weird. Like people have names. Like you can't help what your name is. Right. And so you have to be registered

under like an, and I guess that's why a lot of celebrities don't go by their real name. Sometimes I think it's like an intentional stage name. And sometimes they get screwed. And who the hell is this SAG registered person with the name Emily Stone?

Like what has she done? Right. But I'm sure when Emma Stone was registering, who knows who's going to be the better Emily Stone? Yeah. But like I could tell in the interview, it was on some morning show. She kind of felt embarrassed. It was like stupid.

I think she felt stupid because she made this kind of kerfuffle about it. And everybody picked it interview, it was on some morning show. She like kind of felt embarrassed. It was like stupid. Like I think she felt stupid because she like made this like kind of like kerfuffle about it. And everybody picked it up and it was everywhere. And then they're like, wait, what are we calling you? And I don't know if when she said it, she like wanted it to be newsworthy. I think she was just kind of like letting everyone know that her name is Emily. Yeah, just like a fun fact about me. Yeah, but she was like, you don't have to call me that. Got it.

She was like, please. I think she wanted just everyone. She was like, you don't have to call me that. Got it. She was like, please. I think she wanted just everyone. She was like, please shut up. Like, stop. Yeah, I feel like anytime someone tries to give clarity on their name, whether it's like Ariana Grande, Brendan Fraser. Rihanna. It never works out.

And then we wind up being confused. We still call you what we used to call you, and now we're confused. And it just never has the effect that you think it's going to. Yeah. Kelly Breanne. I was gonna say that too, but in terms of pronunciating things, like, yeah, I feel like we find out every couple of years we've been saying someone's name wrong. Ariana Grandi is the perfect example, and it's like, she told us that, and nobody moved. Right, and I don't think that we should. Like, it is what it is. We're too into this. Yeah.

To go home now. It's like, at this point, your name is a business. So that's the name of your business is Ariana Grande. Your personal name is Ariana Grande. Cool. I don't know you as a person. And it's probably nice to have a little bit of a separation, you know? Some distance.

I agree. Those who really know you call you, like, by the correct pronunciation. Like, you can make a reservation at a restaurant as, like, Miss Grande. And the hostess doesn't know that you're a famous person. Perfect for a little work-life balance, don't you think? I agree. Emma Stone can make a massage for Emily Stone and they don't know that it's Emma until she arrives.

I do want to say, I think probably the best thing to happen to Emma Stone is having to change her name because the name Emma Stone, I want to say like audibly,ibly like hearing it but also seeing it visually is such a cutesy little movie star name Emily Stone is a little bit harsher the why I don't know it doesn't slap I think in a glamorous way the way Emma Stone does well here's a good comparison Emily Blunt it's the same thing Would she be better as Emma Bunt?

No, actually. Because Blunt, as a name, but also as a word, it means something like in the dictionary, is sort of sharp and harsh. A stone is sharp and harsh. No, but I mean like, I can't like explain what I'm thinking right now. No, I know what you mean. Like dialectically. Yeah.

It's like Emily and then also the way it's written, blunt. I feel like the exact same way about Stone. No, because Stone ends in an E. It's sort of like light and feathery. There's a T in there, like blunt. Yes, that's true. It's true. But I feel as though it slaps differently.

I really do believe that. And Emily blunt works. It works. The Y is very sort of final and so is the T. Blunt. I like it. Okay. I think I'm just.

Maybe I'm just used to it. I think Emma Blunt would have been as successful as Emily Blunt. And Emma Stone would have been as successful as Emily Stone. I don't agree. And the fact that there's an opposite of them proves the point. Who was another famous Emily? Emily in Paris. That's what I was going to say.

Emily Ratajkowski, but she's got a whole other thing going on. She's an emirata. You know? Yeah. Not applicable. I feel like that's it. I feel like. Like really famous.

Famous Emily. Not any household names. Right. To us. I'm sure people will be like, you forgot about Emily Dickinson. Didonato. Emily Didonato. Yeah.

I don't know why I never registered her name as Emily. do you know what i mean and that it could be emma i think emma i think they're both such a great name and then we have emma watson i'm having like garage i know it's like i'm saying emily so much i'm like is emily a name even it's giving rascal i'm kind of like having some an existential crisis but i just want to say I think the name Emily and Emma both names which are very similar are both beautiful classic names agree I have no beef with either of them and I feel warmly towards both of them the same degree of warmth thank you for clarifying do you feel the same degree of warmth I feel a little bit like warmer towards Emma cute okay I can understand that yeah okay so Brie Larson and Alexandra Daddario did not wear the same dress to an event.

No, seriously, like, I don't understand how Emily, Alexandra, what's her name? Daddario. Is famous. Like, she just showed up one day as, like, the girl with the blue eyes who's famous, and we all, like, knew her name. I never knew her name. Because of True Detective, I think. Yeah, no, because then she was in White Lotus, and she was, like, the pretty girl with blonde eyes, blue eyes, and everybody was like, yeah, we know her. I'm like, you do? What's her name? And everybody just, like, knew her name because of true detective I think yeah no because then she was in White Lotus and she was like the pretty girl with blonde blue eyes and everybody was like yeah we know her I'm

like you do what's her name and everybody just like knew her name and then she was also in that show Why Women Kill first season no she's actually in so many like amazing projects um but it just like doesn't stick she was in that movie The Layover with Kate Upton did you watch that one no but you're right she doesn't like translate she's like a successful actress but not a famous person yeah she was also in Baywatch like these huge projects I'm telling you I have like a conspiracy theory about her I can't figure out what it doesn't stick she was also in the movie adaptation of one of my favorite Sophie Kinsella books called Can You Keep a Secret? And the movie was so bad. And then after that, like I was mad. She climbed into bed and she started feeling mad. Yeah. So, yeah.

Thank you. Our fifth and final story, kind of the most genius partnership. Like if we had Cannes Lions Award, Toasty Lions for best brand partnerships. We kind of should. Which, by the way, we should. Yeah. Toasty Lions. Because I saw this and I didn't even know it was like a paid thing or a sponsorship slash partnership.

I just thought it was like a thing. This would be a contender for top three. Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard is selling her own wedding dresses for charity following her broken engagement. So on Thursday, Lindsay Hubbard announced her partnership with Kleinfeld again. So Kleinfeld is the storied wedding dress shop in New York City. It's where they film Say Yes to the Dress. Turdy is on an episode of that. Really, Turd?

You should go watch it. No, you shouldn't. That's how so many people know who we are. We're cutting that out. We do not recommend people watch our show. Okay, anyways, everyone knows Kleinf everyone knows I was never on it now Kleinfeld is starting a resale program called Kleinfeld again where people can sell their wedding dresses I mean this is huge business because it's something you only wear once some people want a vintage dress or something

that's not like from the showroom floor right now they've partnered with Lindsay Hubbard to sell the three wedding dresses she planned to wear at her own ceremony with Karl Radke before he called up their engagement in August 2023 she told people that I was quote talking to the girls from Kleinfeld just telling them that I needed to sell my wedding dresses and they were like funny you should mention that because we're launching a website for that these dresses were just sitting in my closet waiting for me to figure out what to do with them I thought the reunion watching the reunion was going to be the final step in my breaking up process. But it was a whole year of reliving and rewatching and talking about it over and over. And this is the final step for me.

Getting these dresses off my hands. No, so genius. And there's also a charity element to Lindsay's. The proceeds from the sale of these dresses will be donated to Chick Mission, a nonprofit organization that helps women with cancer freeze their eggs before starting treatment. I have chills. I'm obsessed.

This is firing in all cylinders. Like, give this the Adweek Award of the Year. There is a philanthropy element. It's such a great partnership. It's a great idea. It's a necessary idea. So this is like, I think for me and a lot of people, I had never heard of this program that Kleinfeld does.

I think it's absolutely genius. I remember a couple of years ago, I watched an episode of Shark Tank and the girls came in with this idea. They had basically like a wedding rental website. Like you only wear it once, make some of your money back, give it to someone else. And it was so smart.

I don't know if anybody ever invested, but the company itself like never took off. But this concept of like buying a wedding dress, probably the most expensive thing most expensive dress anyone will buy in their lifetime wearing it once and it sits and it's like yeah for the memories my daughter's gonna wear it your daughter's not wearing it okay she doesn't want to wear it and if she is she's tearing it apart and making it into like some thotty dress of the future so you might as well get your money back seriously yeah I want to

get I want to send my dress to it takes up so much space in my closet I've never taken it out of the garment bag since the day of my wedding do you have it in your apartment yeah it takes up a whole closet you should do it yeah where's yours here yeah I have them like two one of them I wouldn't part with my I don't know why even I just like it's so me I love it so much if I ever go to the Met Gala it's what I'm wearing it's Carolina Herrera oh okay that's actually smart if you that's like not why I'm go to the Met Gala, it's what I'm wearing. It's Carolina Herrera. Oh, okay. That's actually smart if you ever go to the Met Gala. That's, like, not why I'm keeping it. But, like, I don't know. I'm not.

It's my dress. And maybe that's what a lot of people. But the second dress, also super nice. I could part with. I could see how I could. I don't know that I would ever wear it against, like, a hoop skirt. It's such a wedding dress. I couldn't wear it anywhere else.

Kleinfeld being the company to do this is so brilliant. The partnership with Lindsay tends across the board. They could never make me hate Lindsay. Like everything she does these days I'm just like eating it up. I think I'm like her little if Lindsay Hubbard has no fans I'm dead. No it's so true and it's so crazy and also it wouldn't be a Friday if like we weren't talking about Lindsay Hubbard at the end of the show. Yeah because like I had watched Summer House on and off throughout the years. I've never been a consistent viewer and I've never really been

drawn to her as a castmate. She's never just been somebody who's like you know content resonated with me. I only recently started following her on social media even though I follow Paige, I follow Amanda, Hannah, Sierra. I am obsessed with this woman and I really hope she doesn't return to the show like for real. It'll be interesting to see what she does. I am obsessed with this woman. And I really hope she doesn't return to the show. Like for real. It'll be interesting to see what she does. I feel the same way in the past when I would watch her. Because the first season I started watching was when like the Austin. Yeah.

And she was the villain in that. Yeah. And I was like oh. Like I don't want to get drinks with this girl. You know. Now like. Yeah. Like we lay our careers on the line every Friday.

Defending her. To defend Friday. Defending her. To defend her. I love her. Also, did you see Jesse Solomon posted that picture? Everyone's like, he's a toaster. Because he posted with a cigar in his mouth saying, how you doing? Yeah, I guess that phrase like does exist outside of our universe, correct? Not that I, like maybe, but that's, I just like used to say how you learn on zoom

yeah but did you make that up I didn't get it from somewhere like it could be like parallel thinking sparky palastri syndrome what would jesus solomon do yeah people are saying it's like lil wayne I didn't get it from lil wayne I think we could say that. Yeah, we can. But I think Lil Wayne and I are parallel thinkers. I think that's true. Who are creative and original and violent in our work. You are definitely, you definitely have that in common. And so does Flaubert. So those were the fast five.

Really a collaborative effort. And I feel like where we landed, I feel good about. Even though we ended up doing like seven stories. Because I was complaining about every single one of them. Which I apologize for. Normally I'm not so like invested in your responsibility. But like I chose the stories today. And I'm like where are my stories?

Yeah, but I told you three out of five had made them. But I thought the other two like would be so much better than what I. And they weren't. Oh, I just say resonated with me more. Like I miss those days of who wore it better. I feel like that doesn't happen anymore. So do I, except that like I can't see the dress that the two are wearing and neither can anyone listening.

Like, yeah, we can give them homework. Go Google it. But like who wants to do that? You know, I'm just trying to enjoy a podcast. Okay. Well, you do have to go watch my piece of violin original content on my reels. Correct. So that's your homework.

But just one more thing that I wanted to say Queenie and we know about our originality yes before we get to Queenie and we know what were we just saying oh that there were so many there were we wound up doing like seven honestly before I sat down for the show like I had like seven stories on my tabs it was there was an abundance of stories today thank God for that you? Let's just be grateful and stop complaining. Yeah, acknowledge the space that we're in. For a Friday, abundance of stories, T-Y-S-M. Speaking of Friday, it is time for Queenie and Weenie of the Week, a weekly segment where Jackie and I dole out two awards individually,

so really four awards. Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. Who dazzled you this week as a Queenie, and who seriously gave you secondhand embarrassment this week as a weenie so as always let's start with queenie because it's less fun okay you know after this last conversation i'm so tempted to give it to lindsey hubbard um per usual again but she's setting records like seriously three times in a row she is the winner of the toasty lions award um yes but the winner of my queenie of the week is a person I was introduced to this week

who has exhibited Queenie-like behavior apparently for years and his entire life. And that's Zach Hyman, the Jew on the Edmonton Oilers, who is pro-Israel, a children's book author, and a P-Chom. I love that. My Queenie of the Week is one Kelly Brand Clarkson. Like she made my life, like this was one of the best weeks of my life. Like, I got home and I was buzzing. And Ben was like, wow, you had a banner night.

I'm like, you don't even know. The way she made me feel, like, the way her music makes me feel, like, is so fabulous. But to have that experience IRL and so often you meet people that you look up to. And even if they're good, like, they're never better. She was even better. She was so real. Like, again, her, Luke Holmes and Lindsay Hubbard, like there's nothing those three people could do that would make me hate them. Seriously.

Would you say that Kelly Clarkson is your favorite kind of high? Rushing through you like a fire and I need you to know. Yes, I was. She's your favorite. She's your favorite kind of high. It was such a pleasure and And that just never happens. I love that. And I'm only sorry you weren't there. Oh, well, thank you for bringing Kelly Brand IRL to the masses and letting us know that we are rightful in our Stanhood. Now, weenie of the week. Who to you, Jackie, acted in a weenie-like manner this week?

There's only one weenie of the week. Let's say it on the count of three. One, two, three. Justin Timberlake. I mean, case closed. So many elements. Even though you said you had two? I honestly was considering Kevin Costner for weenie of the week.

Because honestly, he was annoying me this week with all of his press. And then to wrap up the press week after being a thirst monster with some piece of shit news, it's giving weenie. I understand that. But Justin Timberlake is so far in ahead the weenie of the week if if it had been a slow news week it could have been Kevin Costner if Kevin Costner is my number two like one is all the way up here and two is like there it wasn't even close I agree I'm up here and you're down here go to sleep sleep. Take a Xanax. Go to sleep. Yeah.

Justin Timberlake. Like, obviously, driving drunk is a weenie thing to do. Like, you're always going to be a contender for weenie of the week if you start driving drunk.

But so many other elements really obviously just made this the obvious choice. Mainly, you know, this is going to ruin the tour. Mainly just him in general. Just him, like, being him.

There was someone, someone gave a good example of a person with a DUI who I know you're going to ruin the tour um mainly just him in general like being him there was someone shit someone gave a good example of a person with a DUI who I know you're gonna overlook go um Karen Huger oh yeah that was recently yeah and you already forgot um you know what I seriously like I'm unapologetic I feel like I'm so authentic like I always tell you guys like I'm a hypocrite like I like I constantly contradict myself yeah I have these always tell you guys, like, I'm a hypocrite. Like, I constantly contradict myself. Yeah, I have these rules. But, yeah, they don't apply to Karen Huger.

Sorry. They don't apply to gods, okay? Understood. Like, please, don't compare. Don't insult Karen Huger by comparing her to Sam Hunt, okay? Willy nilly and proud. Yeah, like, I'm scrupled sometimes. And I own that, by the way.

Like I don't say like I am the most consistent, non-contradictory. No, it's true. It's true. And I love when you're just like, okay, I'm being a hypocrite. Cool. Yeah, I can acknowledge it. Oh, and I'm also always saying like I'm so open to changing my mind. Like my, I'm so, it's not even that I'm willy-nilly.

Like yes, I hear a compelling argument. You can change my mind. Yeah. I think that's good to be so open minded, by the way. Some of you could use that sort of energy. No, no, willy nilly in the sense that you say when someone has a DUI, like they're done too, it doesn't matter like who they are. That does not apply, though, to some people, including now we have our example, Karen

Huger. That's where the willy comes in. I won't even apologize. I feel like it's self-explanatory, Karen Huger. You know what I mean? Like think about the good she's done. Why would we let this one small little thing? Okay, that is our show.

That is our week. What a great week. I hope everybody was able to get the merch that they wanted. There are some pieces left.

or you just don't like musical? Are you like one of those toxic toasters that's like, stop singing? No, I definitely find it annoying and disruptive to the flow of conversation. Like, dead ass. Brick. I know, but seriously, I do it. And I feel like with me, it's just a phase right now. Because I'm not usually this musical.

I just like... No, and I need to calm down. It's like rules for thee, but not for me. Literally, rules for Sam Hunt, but not for Karen Huger.
