Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the toast. Oh my god, I'm gonna cry. I just am like sort of putting together that it's Friday. That's huge. Hey Jax, how you doing? Speaking of huge, no I'm kidding. Wow, speaking of huge, your love for me and admiration. I just want to say you are perfect. I just saw the opportunity for a funny joke and I made it.
Starting point is 00:00:20 It had seriously no reflection on you. I'm so sorry. I've been there before, so I can take it. You're perfect. Baby, you're perfect just the way you are. That would have been like a glee. I was going perfect One Direction. Of course, of course, of course. That would have been a glee class episode
Starting point is 00:00:39 where they did mashups. Like we would have done Bruno Mars X One Direction because that sounded really good. Do it again. I was going One Direction. You were going new directions I know you guys think you turned into the toast you tuned into the toast today but you actually tuned into a Glee reboot show so we are bringing back Glee one of my like what my personal Roman Empire is that I actually recorded an episode of the Glee recapcap Podcast, which was hosted by Tina Cohen Chang,
Starting point is 00:01:11 Jenna, Jenna Ushkowitz, who is a toaster, by the way. And Artie. And Artie, Kevin. And the episode that we recorded, they had me watch a episode of Glee and we literally recapped. And it was that episode where Santana becomes the understudy for Rachel in Broadway. And I was just going off how unrealistic that was. Like, and like, it made me hate the character of Santana it changed the way I saw her forever and a couple of days before my episode was supposed to come out actually Naya Rivera passed away so they squashed my episode for obvious reasons um and then they like never asked me to re-record another one I think the podcast is no longer with us so I didn't know that that's what happened oh yeah I thought the episode came out I guess the episode I'm thinking about is when you went on the Twilight rewatch podcast I did go on the Twilight rewatch podcast yeah kind of a big feather in my cap it was the best moment of
Starting point is 00:01:56 my life one of my greatest achievements is becoming friends with Ashley Green who played Alice in Twilight like we we can't even go into how much we've watched Twilight as a family. Like, the movie, the franchise means so much to us. But Alice specifically. And the night that I met her, I was like, oh, hi, what's your name? Ashley. Like, we were just, I'm like, oh, what do you do? She's like one actress.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Like, not me literally knowing everything about her. I got so drunk by the end of the night. I was like, I just have to tell you, Alice means so much to me and my family. Not me three hours later, earlier being like, what do you do for a living? Right. I'm a big loser like that. Yeah. I feel like it's better to just be out with it. Just, you know, but I don't know. I think everyone's different is what it is. Let me tell you, Ashley Green is so nice. And I think she understands like the Twilight lore. She understands her significance in the culture. And I think she like leans into it. And then I went on her podcast. So it was a win-win for all of us. Yeah. was at an event this morning not that I'm a huge star or anything but
Starting point is 00:02:49 I like met like a fellow mama and she introduced herself and I was like I'm Jackie and she was like I know who you are I was like perfect out of the way great yeah I think that um it's very similar to me and Ashley Green what you just went through I agree it's very similar because I'm a big glamorous celebrity. Was that not what I was saying earlier in the week? Like, we need to start acting like glamorous celebrities. I think everybody needs to start acting like glamorous celebrities. We are.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah. Yeah. We are. I saw Sebastian Madiscalco last night at Madison Square Garden. I have so many thoughts. First of all, the tour is huge. You need to go. It was so Jackie-coded.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Was it? It was a huge part in his show about summer camp okay and about how like you know he's the son of an immigrant like immigrant families do not send their kids to camp like their parents tell them to go in the backyard and dig a hole um he had a huge thing about obviously like family and kids which i think you would really like but also elon he's my gosh. He's like, you ever hear this guy talk? He was so funny. Let me check his tour schedule. And, you know, I always show up to comedy shows on time because I actually really do like to see openers.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I feel like, you know, even- You love discovering new talent? No, I feel like some of the most funny comedians of our time, like, are unknown, you know? Okay. Oh my God. He had two openers. The second opener is this guy, Pete, who he hosts his podcast with, The Pete and Sebastian Show. Jackie, tears. Like I was
Starting point is 00:04:11 hysterically crying. I literally, I don't want to repeat it because it's never funny when somebody comes out here and like tries to repeat, but he did this whole thing about hotel towels, like the difference in how you treat your towels at home. How you treat towels at hotels. Oh my God, it was so funny. Like seriously, he's like, I make a towel last a whole week at home. But if a hotel towel even like falls on the floor, a clean one, like I kick it to the corner.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Like it literally becomes like. Yeah, no, they're like bath mats. And then he was like talking about the difference in your reaction when you spill something on the carpet at home versus when you spill something in a hotel. Jackie, I'm going to cry just thinking about it. It was so funny.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Like me and Ben could not stop laughing. Like seriously, belly laughs. It was such a great way to spend the night. Yeah. Even though me and Sebastian are different cultures, right? He's Italian. I'm Jewish. And he's like the son of an immigrant.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And his dad is really like a lot of his material. It's very similar, right, culturally. And I think that like most of the people in the audience, like he, you know, attracts a lot of Italians, but he attracts a lot of like immigrants and like people who are really into their culture. So I thought like there was a lot of Jewish people there. Well, he's married to a Jewess, correct? Yes. I met her and I met his kids. Oh god his kids he is a daughter and a son his son is sebastian like it's the and he walks around with like this mohawk he's so cute oh my they were like so cute and his wife was so nice um but wait oh so he was talking about i was like his immigrant dad doesn't believe in anything and sebastian's whole set is really about how he's 51 and like his body's falling apart he's like this can't be 51 and he
Starting point is 00:05:43 goes to the doctor and he's getting massages and chiropractors. And his father doesn't believe in any of this, like seriously. And he, you know, his physical comedy is so funny. So he literally contorts himself like into a hunchback pretending to be his dad. He's like, what are you going to a chiropractor for? Jackie, me and Ben were dying. Honestly, going to a comedy show is such an underrated way to spend the night. I just left like I had tears in my eyes my makeup was running I was laughing so hard it was also just a really good show oh and I got to see my my friend Sebastian before the show so yeah close of close and your close personal friend Sebastian and I ran into Dr. Fox it was kind of like the everybody who's everybody was in one room totally I heard from you that you saw Dr. Fox I heard from
Starting point is 00:06:24 Dr. Fox that he saw you. I forgot to tell you that like he texted me the same picture and was like, we miss you. Dr. Fox texted me. He was like, are you at Sebastian Maniscalco? And I'm like, okay, Merriam-Webster defined stalker. Yeah. But we were like sitting right next to each other. It was just kind of the place to be.
Starting point is 00:06:40 And he brought out Jerry Seinfeld the night before. And he told us that when we were backstage. I'm like, anyone else coming out tonight? He's like, no. Yeah, that's a little dicey, right? Right. But the show was perfect. I wouldn't change a hair.
Starting point is 00:06:52 It doesn't sound like the show was lacking anything. No. I saw he's coming to town in the spring, so I will definitely put that on my calendar. Jackie, you and Zach would love it. And it's also nice family-friendly humor. It's not disgusting penis-vagina jokes. It nice family friendly humor. It's not disgusting. Like, yeah, penis vagina jokes.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Like it's really, it's family friendly. It's hysterical. Okay. Consider me booked. Yeah, you should have, you know what? I can call up Sebastian,
Starting point is 00:07:13 get you some tickets. I actually, I have a hookup because he's playing somewhere where I have a hookup. Oh my gosh. If you know, she's a glamorous celebrity.
Starting point is 00:07:22 If you know, you know. I do know. You do? She's a glamorous celebrity. You do know? Yeah, the Panther Stadium. They love you know. She's a glamorous celebrity. If you know, you know. I do know. You do? She's a glamorous celebrity. You do know? Yeah, the Panther Stadium. They love you there.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Oh, I love the Panther Stadium because it's cold. But it's not the Panther Stadium. Oh, you have another hookup? Oh, I do know. Secret Project Alert. Secret Project, my big hookup. I do know Secret Project Alert. So that's all I'll say about that big morning Friday so it's
Starting point is 00:07:48 a cause to celebrate around here we've got big show for you big fun big Katie big Katie album drop today I actually if you want to do like a little recap now uh I didn't choose it as a story I started to listen to the album I haven't choose it as a story I started to listen to the album I haven't finished it yet but I have a few initial thoughts like first of all it's like kind of short and the first song is woman's world and then there's two songs she's already released right and three songs she's already released because what that collab the next three songs are collabs that were all really bad so I didn't even finish listening to them and then the fourth the fifth fifth song. Which is called?
Starting point is 00:08:26 Which is called, I need to get the name because we have a litigious moment on our hands. Oh. It's called Crush and it is a carbon copy, copy and paste of Xerox. It's a fascist smile of Catch My Breath by Kelly Clarkson. Oh, I need to listen to it. I was bloddrying my hair when that one was on.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Kelly, call the lawyers. The thing is, like, the legal fees would be more expensive than her earnings because nobody's listening to that song. Like, Kelly really shouldn't waste her time with this. Let me say this. No, it's a really good song to listen to if, like, Catch My Breath is, like, skipping on your Spotify that day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I have so many thoughts on this album. All mostly negative. The two songs that she released, Lifetimes and Women's World, I love. They're definitely the best songs in the album. Women's World. And then there are two other songs that I think are good from the album. That's literally it. There's a song that I liked, by the way. Oh, let's see if it's the same one as mine.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I screenshotted. All the Love. All the Love, yes. I liked it and wonder didn't get there because that's the last song on the album it's the last song on the album what it's like to be loved by you if it's not that send it home it's the only song on the album that I feel is authentic to Katie like it's what she's her daughter is like her voice is sampled on it it sounds like a love letter to her daughter it's what she's, her daughter is like, her voice is sampled on it. It sounds like a love letter to her daughter. It's giving very much, um, all I know so far by pink, like imparting all your wisdom onto a younger generation. And I wish the whole album had had that sort of sincerity because that's what Katie's going through right now. Like she needs to stop pretending it's giving
Starting point is 00:09:57 Bon Appetit. Like everything else is like her LARPing as different artists and different genres. And it's weird and cringy and that lyrics make no sense. Aside from the theft of crush even the concept like I have a crush like you have a husband. It's your mother like. Like it's something that a 16 year old would be singing about my crush. Now I read a variety review of this album that was so perfect and it matched all my thoughts so if it sounds like I'm plagiarizing, I had the thoughts first and he's just said it better. It was Sparky Plastry. Jackie, I didn't realize because he was really talking about how the rollout of the album was
Starting point is 00:10:36 obviously Martin's scandal and really the Dr. Luke of it all. And I didn't really realize that when you look at the trajectory of Katie's music career, where things fell off is the first album she did without Dr. Luke because of the allegations made against him. And that was Wonder. Wonder? Is that what it's called? Is it even the album? No. What was the one after Prism? Witness. Witness. Thank you. And that was like the first sort of smaller flop. And it just kind of went downhill after that. So I think that when we were trying to understand why she did what she did with Dr. Luke after that call her daddy interview where she gave us no explanation, I'm now understanding that the partnership with Dr. Luke, I think she thought like, all right, I'll deal with whatever backlash, but it's the only way to get back to teenage dream.
Starting point is 00:11:21 It's the only way to get back to this. And so now knowing that she made this decision consciously for her own benefit and like really just like, fuck everyone. I want to be the top of the game again. Like makes me think even lower of her, honestly. Like I didn't think that I could, I wasn't sure what the reasoning was. And now I really understand like she, the only magic she was able to ever make musically was with him. And ever since then, she hasn't been able to capture any sort of mainstream success. And so her just throwing all her morals out the window, like working with someone whom like her peers, like people she has to see at events, Lady Gaga, Kesha, are his victims. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I don't think I could possibly. You couldn't possibly sink lower than that I'm sorry the bar is so low and that's what you do and now and out of all the possible scenarios for why she worked with him that we were thinking about on the show like maybe like she loves Luke and doesn't believe that he did those things like all of those are better options than this truth which is that like serving her own self-interest she knows that he like she doesn't think he didn't do it like she knows that he likely did it because she stopped working with him yep that didn't go well for her and like she's gonna wash away all of those things
Starting point is 00:12:34 while also singing about how it's a woman's world it's so hypocritical and what the variety what the variety article really pointed at was like she took this huge sacrifice for dr luke because you know two things can be true he is accused of rape but at one point he was able to make amazing music so she thought that was a trade-off like i will get backlash but the music will be good and the sort of very ironic poetic justice at the end is like the music is actually not even good yeah and what this reviewer said which I completely agreed with was the very last song is what the album should have been it's and and her inability to see that is um in her VMA speech she was like you know you don't get to have a career like I do like
Starting point is 00:13:18 without criticism but if you just like block that out and he was like yeah she obviously has blocked out any sort of helpful criticism of her music and her career because this is how we got here. And this is how she thinks that that last song is sufficient. When the whole album should have been that, but she's unable to really grasp her place in music right now and who she is as a human being because she like blocks out the noise,
Starting point is 00:13:40 which yet in theory is like, yeah, you should block out your haters. But like, these aren't haters. These are legitimate criticisms. No, but it's like, you should block out your haters but like these aren't haters these are legitimate criticisms no but it's like you can block out the noise but what's what's happening in her sealed off room is also like not good she's not being authentic to katie she's like trying to go back in time but you have to evolve and i really feel like this is becoming a theme on this show in music today of like people who put their whole selves into their music and people who don't and like even if the beats per minute are good and the beat is good like when I'm listening to something and it doesn't make me
Starting point is 00:14:14 even passively like feel something I don't need I'm cooking I don't need to be weeping I'm already cutting I'm crying like it doesn't just like move me in any sort of way. I don't become attached to it. Yes. When you think about like music this year that has made a real impact and that has moved you and the biggest women in music, what are they doing? They are, you know, bleeding out for the art. It's an art. And to treat it like that, I think you'll, you'll find is rewarding. And the, the women who don't don't like I think they're flopping Dua Lipa Katy Perry like Dua Lipa's last album it made no impact Houdini had a moment like I liked it the whole album as a whole kind of came and went yeah but then you think about like Sabrina and Taylor and Olivia and Beyonce having interesting
Starting point is 00:15:09 conversations in your music and sharing personal things like that's going to connect with other women. Yeah. Yeah. So overall I'm giving it like, like a one out of five. Yeah. So far, how, how many songs are on the album 11 so I think I like three songs total so I'll give it a three out of 11 oh and the that's fair that actually is fair what's like a okay so I give it a four out of 11 so what's that in like a in a percentage 11's a hard number I know divisible by so let's say 10 because that gives her an extra bump. So 40%. If I give her a 3 out of 10, I'm giving her a 33. Okay, so I'm giving her a 2 out of 5
Starting point is 00:15:48 based on my math. Okay, that feels right. That does feel right. I like that. Okay, we officially have a rating system. Rooted in math based on gender.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Based on gender. And I also learned that the album title 143 is an old beeper code. When you used to have pagers, you would beep someone 143. It means I love you. I love you.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I has one letter, love has four, you has three. I don't think it's a great week for beepers though. No, it's not. But also how does that have anything to do with the album? And she's trying. I think that also 143 is a good BPM. That's what she was saying in a different interview like that's um 143 beats per minute is like bop it's certified
Starting point is 00:16:32 bop like that's what you want to achieve so I think she was really concerned with the bpm on this album less so like the meaning and the heartfelt nature um and all the artwork all these and then 143 is I love you I feel like everybody knows that I didn't know that the whole thing just feels like a real like desperate attempt to be like young and relevant and it's okay to not be like I feel like she won't embrace this like latter phase of her career and if she did I think it would be so much more successful like you are not 22 you are a mother like you're that's so much more interesting. Like lean into that. I feel like Pink is so good at that. Like she really is having, making some of the best music of her career today. And because she talks about motherhood, getting older, like these are things that people are going through. Like stop running from it. Also, you know, when you think about the
Starting point is 00:17:18 biggest pop girl, he's like Katie, Beyonce, Taylor, Adele. I was listening to the song Crush and like Katie and Adele are actually kind of in the same place in their lives. And I was like, Adele would never. There is no reason. I know Adele is on a whole nother level, but like Katie has an unbelievable voice. She's an incredible musical talent.
Starting point is 00:17:37 She was writing songs for other people before she became an artist herself. There is absolutely no reason why her songs can't be in Crayab. Not the exact same sound as Adele, but the same amount of heft. No reason why not. There is a way to age well and gracefully as a pop. Because you think of pop, obviously.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I feel like Taylor Swift talked a lot about that in her documentary. She's like, I'm turning 30 and I don't know how to be a pop star. And it's a fair thing. And I think she struggled a little bit with Lover. And then she found a really good group with Folklore, Evermoremore, TTPD so there is a way there's a proven track record Adele there is a way to grow up and go through you know different things motherhood being one of them and still be a pop artist and the way she's doing it is the total wrong way she looks silly I feel like also when I think about Katie's like downhill drive it started with
Starting point is 00:18:27 the witness hour and she said like a number of times that she's gonna make purposeful pop purposeful pop like pop that has I think she also became like political and it was all like with purpose and obviously that flopped and I think now she has done a complete 180 where it's like meaningless pop I am doing meaningless pop and meaningless pop is what I'm going to do. And I'm going to be putting on these outfits that make no sense with what I'm singing about. I'm going to be singing about stuff that's not going on in my personal life.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And it's going to be absolutely meaningless because nobody wanted purposeful. And it's like, doesn't ever have to be all or nothing. Of course, the aesthetic, the outfits, the cover art, it makes no sense. It's not reflective of where she's at in her life she's like running from her real life it's bad the more you look like the more you really look into it which I'm now like very deep in the lore the worse it gets like you just have to look away yeah like I
Starting point is 00:19:18 will finish the album it's like a homework assignment for this job and I might save all I love and um wonder yeah but every time they come up on my playlist it's like oh it's yeah we will not be talking about anything on this album in two weeks time right right so it is a woman's world though and you're lucky to be living in it and I feel extremely grateful yeah I feel extremely grateful like Yeah, I feel extremely grateful, like period, to be living in this world. This great country of ours. Yeah. Like hashtag grateful.

Don't come looking for my Tushy because my Tushy's clean. Can you say the same? Oh, yes, thank you. That wasn't a rhetorical question thank you turty you're welcome our first story sabrina carpenter announces a netflix holiday special where's your ipad
Starting point is 00:23:35 oh my ipad's gonna die and i'm using the charger for my computer so i just saw it preemptively i'll switch it to my phone wow she looks like such a zillennial. Like it's Friday. Rules go out the window. So true. So Sabrina has a Netflix holiday special, which seems to be the thing to do when you're on your way up and you've got pizzazz. It's so, and you've got personality. It's hard to host.
Starting point is 00:23:59 On Thursday, Netflix announced that Sabrina is set to star in her very own holiday special called A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter. The Post said this is really going to jingle your bells. So this is her first ever holiday special and it will premiere on December 6th. She does have a 2023 EP, a holiday EP called Fruitcake that I am sure she will be including some tings from. But this, to me, makes sense. Makes sense.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I love, obviously, you know, in recent history, Kacey Musgraves' Prime video special was so gorgeous and so well done. And she's the same, really reminds me a lot of Sabrina in the sense that she's so vocally talented. She's such a talented songwriter. And she's friends with a lot of celebrities. And a lot of other singers want to work with her. You can't do a collab with everyone. So I actually feel like this is a really good way to like get some collabs in.
Starting point is 00:24:49 I also just love holiday specials. I love the vibes. I love, Sabrina couldn't do anything wrong right now. Like I just love her. I'm obsessed. It's very Kelly. Do you think Kelly will make an appearance? No. I don't know. She's holding it down somewhere else, you know? You know, will make an appearance. No. I don't know. She's holding it down somewhere else, you know? You know, I feel like
Starting point is 00:25:05 a lot of the pop girlies like want to become the, like not the next, but another Mariah Carey because there are a lot of pop girls who I think make a lot of money in the holiday season.
Starting point is 00:25:17 They've weirdly become core tenants of holiday time. I think Kelly's one of them. I think Jennifer Hudson's one of them. Mariah, obviously. I think Ariana Grande is like a really up and coming one. I don't think Casey became that
Starting point is 00:25:28 from her special, but I don't know if she necessarily wanted to. Maybe Sabrina could. Maybe Sabrina could. I think it's just a fun thing to do, especially so many people like the holidays are their personality. So I imagine the girlies who do this, like just have that love for the holidays like so many of us do and I'm all for it like the more the merrier literally and what we have said about Sabrina was that she has like such a unique aesthetic and a very specific point of view when it comes to her brand in terms of like her sets her clothing it's all really cohesive and I'm actually really looking forward to like a holiday spin on that like what the sets with the Kacey Musgraves it actually even though she's not that
Starting point is 00:26:04 similar to Kacey Musgraves like in this, even though she's not that similar to Kacey Musgraves, like in this arena, they actually are in terms of having like established aesthetics, something a little more retro and feminine and cheery, you know, because we need the holiday cheer muster. We don't need the holiday for this and I put them. No, I feel like Kacey's was so Kacey, right? It had her brand of like her vibe. And I'm looking forward to seeing what Sabrina puts out. Yeah, I think it's going to be adorable. This was also an
Starting point is 00:26:31 unexpected announcement. I don't know what I thought she was going to do or announce next, and it certainly wasn't this, but I love it. I also think this is a great way to get like, you know, into the homes of more people. People love holiday specials. Those classic tunes, like I think an older generation loves to see a young girl singing. So I think it will also expand her audience even more. Yeah. I love. Perfect. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Next story, a bit more content news. Queen Latifah biopic in the works. So Queen Latifah is preparing to bring her life story to the big screen with a new biopic that kicks off a series of movies about hip-hop icons Queen Latifah a Grammy and Emmy winner and an Oscar nominee oh he got on the way will produce the forthcoming movie with Westbrook Studios and
Starting point is 00:27:15 Jesse Collins Entertainment uh they said we all came into this industry together and hip-hop has shaped each and every one of us hip-hop's impact has expanded beyond just music and has created a lasting impression on culture and society overall. It is a dream to be able to collaborate with friends and colleagues that have not only shared an understanding, but are able to tell these stories
Starting point is 00:27:31 that were the backdrop of our lives. No, I love this. Queen Latifah is not someone we talk about a lot, right? But every time we do, like, it's just a reminder. She's literally one of my faves. She doesn't, you know, do the most. I don't even follow her on social media.
Starting point is 00:27:46 But everything she does, I love. I love her. I feel like I would really get along with her. And I do feel like a huge, like, her come up, I don't know much about. Like, when I started, like, you know, consuming media that she was in, I think that was, like, decades into her career already. So I actually don't know her story her story I know she like was big in the hip-hop movement I know nothing about it like so I
Starting point is 00:28:09 actually think this could be beneficial for swirlies like me yeah I think it's a great idea now who are we casting as a young queen oh I do think it needs to be like a when you're doing a biopic like I think it's always better to have a new face. So it's not confusing. Why is Kelly Rowland pretending to be Queen Latifah? I think it's easier to have a fresh face. Oh, so it's not going to be someone established, but also someone who can sing. But it also needs to be somebody who, I guess at what time period they're focusing on.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Right. I feel like getting someone in their like early 20s is a good place because you can play younger and then you can go probably to like 40. Yeah. Right. You can always look older. And then Queen Latifah can take over from there. Of course. Of course.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I would love that by the way. I would love that. You can it's easier to make someone look older in a film with prosthetics than it is to look younger. So I don't know. I do think it'll be like an unknown. And I think Queen Latifah will probably use it as an opportunity to like discover, make a new movie star. But I love this.
Starting point is 00:29:11 And so you said it's a part of a series where they're doing a bunch of biopics? A series of movies about hip hop icons. Yeah. So this is like the first in like a new project of movies. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah. I love this.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And yeah, a fun fact about Queen Latifah is like she's also a singer. We know her as an actress like I think but before we were alive like her career was more music. Yeah. But then of course. Like Last Holiday. How can you ever. She sang her head off in Hairspray and she reminded us all about who she really is. Oh that's so funny. My like number one association with her is that movie The Last Holiday. By the way, incredible movie. My number one association is actually not Hairspray. I know everybody would think it is. It's just right.
Starting point is 00:29:53 The best movie ever that is thankfully always on TV. It's like kind of one of those movies that like just went straight to- You mean it's one of E's movies we love? Movies we love. It's like always movie of the week. It's always on HBO. Like it is always on. It is the best movie starring like two of my faves,
Starting point is 00:30:09 Queen Latifah and Common. And Queen Latifah is just this like sort of, you know, tomboy physical therapist. Like, of course, like she'll never get the guy. And Paula Patton, her sister, is like this bombshell who's always going to get the guy. And they meet this pro basketball player who they love, Common.
Starting point is 00:30:26 And Queen Latifah actually has to become his physical therapist. And Common starts dating the sister. Obviously, because she's the bombshell. Very 27 dresses. But then it's like, obviously. They're falling in love. Obviously, Queen Latifah's the one. And it's literally, like, I have chills.
Starting point is 00:30:42 It's the best fucking movie. You know who else loves that movie? Who? Olivia Alshrey. It's, like, I'm chills. It's the best fucking movie. You know who else loves that movie? Who? Olivia Alshrei. It's, like, something we're always talking about. I feel like it also, like, wasn't popular. Do people even know that movie? I think they do.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I do think it was popular. And I also, like, that for me was a real introduction to Common. And then, you know, him dating Tiffany Haddish I was obsessed with. But, like, I wasn't familiar with Common's work prior to that. So, obsessed. Honestly, if we ever bring back Toast Movie of the Week first up just right and by the way if you're looking for it online right is spelled w-r-i-g-h-t because that's the basketball player's last name however don't get your hopes up and don't delay your watching of this if you sound interested in it because Toast Movie of the Week
Starting point is 00:31:20 has no plans to return zero like we didn't even watch Tell Me Lies this week. Let me, I know we need to watch it. Let me just really quickly look up something because, you know, I need to know what Rotten Tomatoes gave Just Right. Just like, because I have completely written off. Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes, especially after they gave Georgia Rule such a low score.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I was fucking done with them. And then they gave like a 98% to the movie The Lobster, which ruined my life. Let's just see, because to me, Just Right is a perfect film okay tomato meter 47 that's such the critics lies yeah what about the people the well the people no but what do the people say no 61 that's the number to really look at for anything of course but like this i'm just gonna say like 61 is low for your fave that but like this, people go to Rotten Tomatoes. I'm just gonna say like 61% is low for your fave. That doesn't look good.
Starting point is 00:32:07 People go to Rotten Tomatoes for the critics review. Like I find that more interesting. Like this is who Rotten Tomatoes best of the best thinks like of this movie. I don't think that many people at this point like go to Rotten Tomatoes for the tomato meter. I actually think that the audience meter holds a lot more sway.
Starting point is 00:32:23 That's always the funniest when it's like, it has 99% tomato meter, like 1% audience. I've actually never looked at other parts of this website besides just the number. Here are the top critic reviews for Just Right. Oh, I feel sick. From Charlotte O'Sullivan, just about bearable. Oh my God. And then from Lisa Rossman. Although it's replete with solid supporting players and even stronger goodwill, Just Right buckles under the burden of its pure intentions. Too many auxiliary moralizing plot points
Starting point is 00:32:56 and characters are picked up only to suddenly be dropped. She's disgusting. To be honest, I would have to rewatch it in order to say like whether or not the auxiliary characters are being picked up just to be dropped like I don't feel comfortable right now like saying that she's whether or not I don't remember it that way but I would need to watch it with a closer eye what do they say about sleepover good question because that is also a perfect film all right I'm on my way like I'm sure by this point they say nice things about like Lele Blonde and Clueless and like at the time have really like cemented themselves in like the canon of feminist history.
Starting point is 00:33:28 And I don't think that the critics would shirk at that. Sleepover. Which one do you want to know first? The people or the critics? The critics. I know the people are my people. 15%. And the pop.
Starting point is 00:33:41 What do the people say? 54. Okay. Okay. Here's what the top critics are saying david germain this movie wasn't made for david germain nevertheless sleepover objectifies early teenage girls in a manner that's disagreeable and indelicate at best cheap and vulgar at worst oh my god Worst. Oh my God. The second most, most like, uh,
Starting point is 00:34:06 uh, top critic review, not for younger kids, despite its PG rating. Website's disgusting. This website's disgusting. And it's like, they would watch a movie that actually does like exploit children and be like,
Starting point is 00:34:20 this is incredible stuff. Okay. The whale that we just watched 64% tomato meter. Critics. and be like, this is incredible stuff. Okay, The Whale. Here we go. That we just watched. 64% tomato meter. Critics. Critics. And what about people?
Starting point is 00:34:31 91%. Jeez. Are you sure the tomatoes are the people? Yes. You're sure? It's like the popcorn is the people and the tomatoes are the critics? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Okay, okay. Damn. This like this, I don't know where as a society, like how we got to the place where Rotten Tomatoes like was the end all be all of movie critics and reviews. But like seriously, fuck them. I don't think it's the end all be all. I just think it's like the only one really doing it.
Starting point is 00:35:01 So if you care about those things, like that's where you'll go. But I don't like make my decisions about what to watch at all based on Rotten Tomatoes. I make it based on gender. I make it based on gender and whether or not it passes the Bechdel test. Of course. Here's a, here's a piece of content that passes the Bechdel test.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Um, the toast, of course, even though we're only ever talking about boys. So true. We're boy crazy. We've got a crush. We've got a crush. I've got a crush.
Starting point is 00:35:28 When I was listening to Crush, I thought it was like a sample where she was remixing the song. It's just a little crush. That would have been better. No, it reminded me so much of an old song that I was like, oh, maybe it's an old Katy Perry song. She's just kind of stealing her own stuff. Good idea, by the way. And then I actually paused it to finish singing the lyric I thought it was going to be. And I was like, oh, maybe it's an old Katy Perry song. She's just kind of stealing her own stuff. Good idea, by the way. And then I actually paused it to finish singing the lyric I thought it was going to be.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And I was like, it's Kelly Clarkson. Get Kelly's lawyers on the phone. I mean, can you blame Katy? She's like desperately searching for success. I would copy Kelly Clarkson too. Me too. Like it is what it is. But our next piece of content is a new documentary
Starting point is 00:36:01 about the pressures of growing up famous. It's called Child Star by Demi Lovato. And she is talking to former Disney and child stars across the board about their experience. So Demi Lovato, Alison Stoner, Raven Simone, and Jojo Siwa are reflecting on the humanizing, they're reflecting on humanizing the pressures of growing up famous in her new doc.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Yeah, I saw this documentary, and I think that, you know, with, what was it called? The Drake Bell one? Drake Bell one. The Drake Bell documentary, the Nickelodeon documentary. Yeah. Quiet on set.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Quiet on set. That was really well done, and I think that because it had heavy hitters like Drake Bell involved, it made much more of an impact. These documentaries, the Glee one got made. Nobody from the cast or the real crew was a part of it. And so if it's not, it just sort of goes by the wayside. People really discredit it.
Starting point is 00:36:58 So to have Demi involved, who's obviously like one of the biggest child stars of our time, and then, you know, including Raven. I think it's actually great. And I like this for Demi. I feel like she's had a hard time finding her vibe career-wise, music-wise. And I think that this is actually a good thing. Yeah, I think here they're not suffering from lack of notable names. I actually, there's not one name that I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I think it'll be more so about what they're saying and how much it resonates with people. Cause she's talking to Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson, Christina Ricci, Raven Simone, Alison Stoner, Jojo Siwa. There was a screening of it at Noya House Hollywood and Demi spoke to Variety saying, I need to talk to them so candidly
Starting point is 00:37:38 about our experiences was so meaningful to me. So this is also like a Demi Lovato documentary, which would be the fourth yeah however okay personally I can't function because I see a bug on the ceiling like what kind of bug I don't know there should be an app like Shazam where you should there is you take a picture of your bug there is I did it over the summer because I thought I saw a tick. And I'm just supposed to be sitting here with the bug, you know? I've become very desensitized to the critters and the natural elements.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I'm just keeping my eye on it. Sorry, back to Demi. Yes, I agree. It's like a lot of documentaries for one person. Although I think this one is finally talking about a subject larger than her. A very direct purpose, too. Like, you know, she'll hone in on one subject. She's not just like Demi at a glance. Wait, the bug fell off the ceiling.
Starting point is 00:38:29 It should be right next to you. No, on the floor, on the floor, on the floor, on the floor. Do you see it? Yeah. I'm telling you, this bug is like, it's a terrorist. It's a Hamas bug. Oh, my God. Sebastian Matyshka got the funniest thing about Hamas.
Starting point is 00:38:42 I was cracking up because these moles, M-O-L-E, in his garden are building, like, they're burrowing and creating tunnels in his backyard. And the guy came over to explain the exterminator, like, they're a really complex tunnel system, like, in your backyard. He's like, you mean, like, Hamas? It was so funny. That is so funny.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I'm so sorry. Back to Demi. Back to Demi. Well, one of the moments that I saw going viral from this documentary is that Raven and Demi. Well, one of the moments that I saw going viral from this documentary is that Raven and Demi sat down and Raven was like, you know, I did a guest spot on Sunday with a Chance, your TV show, and you were literally a bitch.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Like you were very difficult to work with. And I actually feel like that really aligns with what Demi has told us about that time. She was like addicted to Adderall. It was like the very beginning stages of her drug addiction, her eating disorder. And she was like a miserable, miserable girl. And she has stated that. So I don't know if it necessarily reflects poorly on Demi.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I feel like it's actually, you know, corroborates what she's told us up until this point. Right. And Raven had said like, I don't hold it against you. I think in a situation like that, and also something with the chance was her first thing. Like you've got a lot to prove. like you're not just like your queen sitting on the throne like I run this place like you're also a child holding up an entire show not knowing how
Starting point is 00:39:54 it's gonna go and also like Sunny with a chance like it started Demi's career but like I don't think it was like the biggest greatest thing it was definitely the worst show on Disney Channel and when at the time like you have to think about the other female-led shows that she was working against Wizards of Waverly Place Hannah Montana these huge huge shows that like launched huge careers it's actually amazing that Demi is as famous as she is because she's just as famous as Miley and Selena but that show was like a piece of shit but it's only because of her talent like I think even when the show ended it was like we need to do something with this girl. She has the best singing voice
Starting point is 00:40:25 of any child we've ever heard ever. Like let's send her to camp and have her rock out. That's the thing. Camp Rock was her Hannah Montana. Yeah. Because I think Sunny with a Chance is really forgettable.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Yeah. Yeah. It was a step on the way. Yeah. So. But I didn't know Raven-Symoné did an episode that's literally hilarious.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Right. Right. Right. It looks to be like it's going to be a good documentary. And I feel like people are wanting more of that content, especially since Quiet On Set. And especially because we're always talking about Disney. And how there's never been a documentary. And there really aren't people who have come out and said Disney was horrible for children. A lot of it fell on Nickelodeon.
Starting point is 00:41:02 We knew for years about the weirdness about Dan Schneider. But Disney has sort of kept its reputation intact. If anything, it was just like they worked the kids too hard. Not... Oh, the bug!
Starting point is 00:41:11 The bug! Oh! The bug! Oh my God! The bug! I thought you got it. No! You bitch!
Starting point is 00:41:18 I never saw a bug like this! Oh my God! I got it. That was a weird. I saw something in the corner of my eye. I feel like this bug is going to come back. I thought you got it. I got it.
Starting point is 00:41:34 He's dead. You do need to give us a. Is it a roach or is it? No, it's. Oh, my God. If it was a roach, bitch, I would be out of here. It's a roach. Well, I was.
Starting point is 00:41:44 It kind of looked like a caterpillar it's kind of cute it looked like it seriously belonged to the tropics i don't know how he got here i feel like somebody went on vacation and like accidentally packed this bug in its suitcase like i don't know it doesn't look maybe i sent you a box this bug is not indigenous to my culture he's away from home well he's dead now he's with his one the ones he loves he's with his ancestors the way I'm overjoyed we got that on camera I can only imagine what I look like the bug is in frame at any point no darn I'm sorry I do I did want to see what all the fuss was about that bug had at least 20 legs just letting you know it was like okay so it looked like a caterpillar like a sort of straight body and then legs legs legs legs, legs, legs, legs, legs.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Oh, my God. Legs, legs, legs, legs, legs. Oh, man, I'm actually sweating. That was insane. Okay. Take a moment. Thank God I'm wearing my big Claude Hopper shoes, like my big platform sneakers. Which ones?
Starting point is 00:42:44 These Reebok ones ones pick up your leg cool look at you turdy oh you have your like little like you know mashed potatoes outfit going on the one um the rave girl my mashed potatoes outfit like I knew what you meant you didn't have to clap oh I thought for a second you thought I was calling you like a mashed potato which like which is not anything you want to be described as no no but what's that dance called the mashed potato but what's it called in the rave world even though they are doing yeah what is it called where like you're like cha-cha sliding your legs like what is that dance move called yeah yeah yeah it's like it's like not a moonwalk but it's sort of like it's the dance that girls do at raves two-stepping kind of no no
Starting point is 00:43:23 what the hell is it called? I need to look it up. Me too. It's really going to bother me. Rave girl dance move. Okay. Yeah, that's what I think. Oh, you're like, you're shuffling.
Starting point is 00:43:35 The shuffle. The shuffle. Yeah, this is my outfit, like my big pants and my tight shirt that I would wear to shuffle rave. Are you ready for our next story our fourth story am I what do you think I think you're not ready uh I don't think I'm ready either because actually I want to play a game with you you know I know how much you love like when I bring up games and this game is brought to you by cotton is that is that okay with you to play a game okay okay love a game so I love this new concept um so the today's episode of the toast is brought to you by
Starting point is 00:44:04 cotton the fabric of our lives. And as you guys know, we're huge advocates for just take me a pause, for your physical, your mental health, you know, just unwinding, if you will. And Cotton, the fabric of our lives, is all about that. So they really are encouraging us, our listeners, to take a pause. And whatever that pause looks like, for some people, it's listening to this podcast. You know, for others, it's going outside for a walk. So in celebration of that, you know, since we are the experts at taking pauses and making
Starting point is 00:44:28 space for ourselves to be more mindful, Cotton wanted us to sort of spearhead this campaign. So I thought it would be fun to slow down for a minute. Let's play a game. Okay. It's giving a would you rather. And we are going to, at the end of this, figure out the best way to take a pause, to unwind. There are many different ways. So Jackie, would you rather read the latest Redheads book on your Kindle
Starting point is 00:44:50 or go for a walk? And with the goal of unwinding, taking a pause, best for your physical and mental health. Read the latest Redheads book on my Kindle, especially with the heat being what it is right now. It wouldn't be that relaxing to come home in a deep sweat. Would you rather read the latest Redheads book on my Kindle, especially with the heat being what it is right now. It wouldn't be that relaxing to come home like in a deep sweat. Would you rather read the latest Redheads book on your Kindle or watch an episode of reality TV?
Starting point is 00:45:12 Yeah, that's tough. I think I'm in a TV error right now. I'd rather watch an episode. Would you rather watch an episode of reality TV or make a loaf of sourdough? Make a loaf of sourdough every time. Would you rather make a loaf of sourdough or go for a nice peaceful drive? Now that I'm like in my driving era, I think sourdough still.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Would you rather make a loaf of sourdough or learn to knit, take up knitting? Sourdough. Sourdough. Would you rather make a loaf of sourdough or do a workout class? Sourdough. No. Would you rather make a loaf of sourdough or journal for a workout class? Sourdough. No. Would you rather make a loaf of sourdough or journal for a little bit? Sourdough. Even though let's call journal my new recipe book.
Starting point is 00:45:51 That's really me putting my thoughts down, but still sourdough because my hand hurts when I'm writing because I hold my pen wrong. Would you rather watch an episode or make a loaf of sourdough or listen to music? Could I do it together? I know that is how you do it normally actually I like that let's combine okay so right now the run with the running winner currently is making a loaf of sourdough while listening to music yes would you rather do that a little bit of meditation the former now this is the last one and I think probably the toughest one okay what do you think is the best way to take a pause? Making a loaf of sourdough while listening to the music of your choice or taking a nap?
Starting point is 00:46:31 I mean, factually, a literal pause, a nap. I am some, I'm big on sleep. I think sleep is critical for so many things. Rest, rejuvenation, mindfulness. So yeah, I think if I really want to take a pause, like still doing sourdough, I'm on my feet. Like I'm still working. It's a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:46:54 It's going to be a siesta for me. However you choose to unwind, cotton has got your back. Take a second to be more mindful with cotton, the natural choice. Discover the fabric of now at thefabricofourlives.com. Thank you to cotton for sponsoring the rest of today's episode. Thank you to cotton. All right,
Starting point is 00:47:10 story number four. I wasn't ready, but now I am. Story number four is some more content news, because Amazon Prime tried something new. I don't know if you've seen this, and the reviews are mixed, but I think it's an A for effort. So Nikki Glaser is leaving NFL fans divided over her post-game roast segment on Amazon Prime following the Jets win over the Patriots. So Nikki Glaser, following her roast success, the roast of Tom Brady, I think Amazon Prime was like, Nikki loves roasts. We want to get involved. Nikki's good at sports.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Nikki's good at sports roasts. Like, let's have her roast the games. So Amazon Prime debuted their new segment with Nikki Glaser after Thursday Night Football, and it divided opinion among NFL fans. Following the Jets' win over the Patriots, I didn't realize the Jets won. Mazel Tov.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Yeah, it was kind of a big deal. I guess it's less of a big deal now that Tom Brady's not on the Patriots. Like, it's not what it once was. No, the big deal is that the Jets won a game. Right. So Prime Video's post-game show, Invited Comedian.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Oh my God, Shohei. Shohei. We'll get to him in a second. Okay. big deal is that the Jets won a game right so prime videos post-game show invited oh my god Shohei Shohei we'll get to him in a second okay invited comedian Nikki Glaser who had a notable set at the roast of Tom Brady to debut her late hit segment where she roasted the two teams and the Amazon crew she started things off by telling Carissa Thompson that she looked like the final boss at a country club before poking fun at the likes of Aaron Rogers and Jets linebacker CJ Mosley she called Aaron Rogers throw Rogan lol which is funny but I think a lot of fans were saying like the the situation that they put her in she's pretty much like doing this roast Jets fans are booing in the background because um that's just what they do the the hosts of the NFL uh show are just next to her, like, doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Like, nobody's there, like, live laughing. And she's, like, telling these jokes for the people at home. I think it was, like, an awkward scenario, though. I think she did, the jokes were really funny. Yeah, like, I think the production needs work. But I like the concept. And I think it's, like, the first time that a major network, if you will, is, like, leaning into more girls who are now watching football right like
Starting point is 00:49:05 Nikki Glaser is this huge Taylor Swift fan I actually think it was a great choice not only because she's great at roasts but because like I think a lot of her fans are a lot of Taylor fans and like it's a good crossover and this is the first time where someone's like finally acknowledging the girlies in the room and making some content for them so while I agree it's imperfect right now the idea itself is not bad no and also the idea that she's like writing jokes about a game that happened five minutes ago. And so like these are really like last minute stuff. I think it is really impressive.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I love the idea of trying something new. Like everything is just like recycled, regurgitated. Like if it's not a reboot, then it's just never changing. And I think this is a really good idea and they just have to perfect it. But it seems like she showed up to work like she did the job. Yeah. Like why does she have to be sitting at the table with them in the stadium? They should throw to her. They build like a mini stage outside the stadium with like 15 chairs where there's like an actual audience. She does like a mini set, like she's in a little comedy club. Yeah. That I think would be better. Yeah. I'm sure they'll workshop it, but I didn't know
Starting point is 00:49:59 that this was happening, that she had gotten this job and that Amazon was doing this segment. And I just, I want to encourage it because I think it's a really good idea me too and I don't think they should stop just because like there's a couple of you know negative reviews evolve change don't try to like keep doing the same thing but the idea of it being Nikki is such a great idea she's like so having a moment roasts are her strong suit I love this yeah yeah some people said what Nikki Glaser just did is so damn hard telling jokes with no audience while Jets fans scream in the background. And she's still absolutely killed. That was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Someone else said, damn, the prime hosts are giving Nikki Glaser nothing. She deserves so much better. This is hard to watch. These jokes are pretty good. But it's so hard to laugh past my secondhand embarrassment of her getting zero hosts from the coast right next year. That's not cool. I have no, I didn't, I didn't see her do it.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I imagine that she was hysterical, and she's really a professional. Like, she probably wrote amazing jokes, delivered them perfectly. But when there's no laugh track, it just kind of falls flat, and that's not her fault. No, no. So, like, get this girl. Like, this is Amazon. Please, build a little set for her.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Like, make a mini comedy club, and they can make it like a whole thing. They can have new people come every week like that's cute yeah like make it a thing it's a good idea it is a good idea back to show hey as we discussed yesterday and maybe because we discussed yesterday we put the vibes out there I think we manifested uh the first ever baseball player to join the 50 50 club now he's-51. Like he went above and beyond last night. And like there's no club because it's just one man. So he's a club of one.
Starting point is 00:51:30 It's kind of like a wolf pack of one. Yeah. And I'm so glad that I talked about Shohei on the podcast yesterday because I learned so much about him. First of all, he like came out in February. He's like very private with his life. But he was like, oh yeah, I'm married.
Starting point is 00:51:44 He's married to a professional basketball player. Like they're so cute. They have a dog who recently threw out the first pitch at the Dodgers game. Like he's obsessed with his dog. And he's from Japan. Apparently he is so famous in Japan. Like he is on every, they're like so proud of him. He is on every billboard.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Every brand wants to work with him. Like we think he's famous here. He's triple as famous in America. Now, I mean, mean excuse me in Japan now not to make it about us he has a deep connection to the Real Housewives of Orange County are you familiar with this someone stole money from him he was involved in like this gambling scandal that uh remember Dr. Jen her like man Ryan was a part of it too and like this bookie he is and deeply embedded in American pop culture.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Like we have absolutely no choice but to stand. Go Dodgers. And now being a 50-50 member, does that make him the greatest baseball player of all time? Like, will they soon be eating Shohei candy bars? Right, right. I feel like, I do think he's kind of young. You have to see, like, what he does in his career in its entirety.
Starting point is 00:52:45 But he definitely has, he's on the track of being, like, yeah, a Babe Ruth type. No, but, like, wouldn't he have already eclipsed Babe Ruth? He has, statistically. A lot of players have eclipsed Babe Ruth because the sport has evolved. You know, that's how, like, most of the world records. Right, most of the world records in sports are held in the last five years because human beings are evolving. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Like at the time when Baby Bo did what he did. Exactly. So he's on his way for sure. But like everyone was talking about Shohei last night. Like LeBron James being like, the greatest of the greats respect Shohei. And I'm kind of obsessed with him. He's so cute.
Starting point is 00:53:20 I love that. I know. And I love that he's like the pride of Japan. Mazel. Mazel of Japan. Mazel. Mazel show, hey. Mazel show. Mazel show. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
Starting point is 00:53:32 A little more sports related news, actually. Mm-hmm. I love sports. It's like Sports Illustrated. And there's angst abounding as a trove of vulnerable private Polaroids of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models from shoots has gone missing. So a private trove of Polaroids showing some of the world's most famous models in various states of undress has gone missing.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Page six here is causing some serious anxiety. The set includes not for public consumption shots of everyone from Kim Kardashian, Martha Stewart, Kate Upton, Brittany Mahomes, Gayle King, Simone Biles, Emily Ratajkowski, Ali Raisman, everyone who's done sports illustrated. They are photos that were like, that are,
Starting point is 00:54:11 were never meant for publication that are like either meant to show like what the outfit the person is supposed to be wearing or photos where there's like, you know, a. Accidental nip slip. Exactly. Why weren't these photos destroyed is my question i don't know but i feel like i feel like people archive like everything from everything so they appear to have an a wall as control of the magazine passed from one corporation to another so like they were just like
Starting point is 00:54:37 lost in a corporate shuffle also missing our thousands of dollars worth of swimsuits that were loaned to the magazine by brands for the famous shoots yeah like oh my god that's really like that gives me a pit yeah but you know if I was like a thief looking for nude photos like I wouldn't know that this exists right but the it feels like an inside job page six says that um these are taken on almost all fashion magazine shoots they're called sitting sheets they're important mostly for recording exactly what the model is wearing so that editors can include that information in the magazine later like it's a very standard thing to do and I guess no it doesn't sound nefarious modeling like you know that that's out there yeah I don't I I couldn't say what the what the
Starting point is 00:55:20 intentions are behind this it just like is really icky. Oh, it's icky McGicky. Although like I imagine the person who took it, this does seem like it has to be an inside job. I wouldn't know that this like, you know, cabinet exists. Right. And the person who stole it presumably has to have known that, which makes me think like maybe they just want like money not to like release these photos.
Starting point is 00:55:44 I don't know. Just give them what they want. This is like such like release these photos I don't know just give them what they want this is like such a breach of they don't even know who has it though no one's asking for something do better like why is there not like a password or something yeah do better like not seriously not okay you're supposed to be like a women for magazine or or it's just like lost in the corporate shuffle like it's a box of stuff like that's just unacceptable like you have a duty to protect the girls who post for your magazine I'm sorry yeah not cool I feel like sports illustrated
Starting point is 00:56:09 and even in this article I didn't even realize it was like sold three times and that's why it's like lost because they keep moving everything um kind of like not doing great right now I feel like this year we had said the sports illustrated covers like, not strong. I personally did not like them. I agree. It's just, like, not their time. I mean, once again, I think it's a problem that Sandra could solve. Like, make her the new it girl. Like, they need to choose a girl.
Starting point is 00:56:35 They don't choose girls anymore. They need to choose a girl. There was a time where they would choose a girl and make that girl's career. And then that whole year, it was like, the girl was everywhere. It was kind of like Miss America. You get a year where you're just doing pageants and shit. And now it's like, a winner and it's like lame and they need to choose a girl and i think that it had they chose xandra like that's a bold move yeah do something bold i instead of losing everybody's nudies in total there was about 30 women on the cover last year like not interesting to me this isn't sparkle magazine it's giving sparkle magazine yeah now
Starting point is 00:57:08 it's time for queenie and weenie of the week my favorite segment the last thing we do here every week at the toast where jackie and i nominate two individuals well in this case today people's places are things um for weenie of the week and queenie of the week inspired by our childhood game of weenie of the week it's pretty self-explanatory somebody who acted like a weenie this week will get nominated for weenie of the week. It's pretty self-explanatory. Somebody who acted like a weenie this week will get nominated for weenie of the week. And somebody who acted like a queenie this week will get nominated for queenie of the week. It is a temporary title.
Starting point is 00:57:30 It is not meant to be so serious because I was going to obviously make P. Diddy my weenie of the week, but he's not a weenie. He's a criminal and a freak. Of course, it's really, it is hard. You know, of course I want to make a bunch of people my weenies. But it's supposed to be light fare.
Starting point is 00:57:46 It is supposed to be light fare. Did you see he's on Suicide Watch? Yeah. Also, I saw this old thing resurfaced of some guy. I mean, he's a nut, the guy who said it, but he was arrested for shooting up a golf course. And in his police interrogation, he said he was like, did he sex slave?
Starting point is 00:58:06 And it's like from 2018, though. But I guess, you know, that's not really a credible person then. But now everything starts to fall into place. By the way, I was also looking. Apparently, the way we feel about like 50 Cent, right? King, who's been talking about this like before it was popular. Apparently, Aubrey O'Day, because she was a part of his band Danity Kane and I think he thought like you know he ended up giving her like the rights back to their music or whatever because
Starting point is 00:58:30 I think he wanted her to shut up and like she could not be bought like she's a queen too. Interesting. There's a lot of lore and I think when the documentary eventually comes out like and they talk about Aubrey O'Day there's a lot going on here. I think it could be like a four part series. Wow. Okay so she's a queen or a weenie it could be like a four-part series wow okay so I do need a documentary personally I'm having me too like also it's really weird because he has a lot of like famous exes I think a lot of people are like waiting to see like what JLo says right and in a situation like this it's like is JLo was JLo covering him or perhaps she was one of his victims like I see like former girlfriends of his like Cassie suffered the most at his hand so like I think people like rushing to hear something from JLo like might
Starting point is 00:59:09 just sit tight right and he was with um let me just triple check before I say something wrong look at us triple checking yeah uh kim porter that was like his partner for a long time she died like yeah you you we talked about that when he was initially arrested you you shared suspicious like a young healthy beautiful woman yeah you know yeah yeah yeah yeah okay queenie and mean of the week which would you like to do first let's go queenie um my queenie of the week. Which would you like to do first? Let's go Queenie. We always start Queenie. My Queenie of the week is Shohei. Agreed. Yay, Shohei. 50-50 club.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yay, Shohei. Congrats. It's going to be lonely at the top. You know, I don't think. And he's kind of doing for baseball what Taylor Swift did for football. I feel like baseball is definitely one of the more underrated sports. I think he's doing for baseball, not what Taylor Swift did for football, but like what Pommel Horse Steveve did for men's gymnastics yes i love that yeah yeah what caitlin clark's
Starting point is 01:00:13 doing for women's basketball exactly even though like baseball is obviously huge he has a 700 million dollar contract in terms of like mainstream like interests. No, it's the American game. It is as big as it gets, really. However, he's made it a little bit bigger because we've now talked about baseball twice in one week on this podcast and we don't usually. So just that alone is bigger. And he's so global too. So he's making it like a global conversation as well.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd.. Take me out to the crowd. My queenie of the week. Are you going to buy me some peanuts and apple jacks? No. My queenie of the week for the first time ever is not a human being. Oh, right, right, right. It's a robot.
Starting point is 01:00:56 It's a thing. AI? It's my pillow. When I tell you this pillow, if you guys knew how much pain I was in like during the toast, which sucks because like I would, I feel like. Wait, is it like my pillow, capital M, capital P? No, the pillow, my hemorrhoid pillow. I feel like there was a time where like I was in so much pain that when we get to like
Starting point is 01:01:15 the fifth story, I was like always like kind of like wrapping up quicker. I feel like it was affecting my job, honestly. And I feel like I've been so, this pillow has made such a big difference. It's like I'm sitting, like I'm so comfortable. It's made such a difference in my performance here and how I feel like I've been so this pillow has made such a big difference like I'm sitting like I'm so comfortable it's made such a difference in my performance here and how I feel overall and it's made life with coccidinia being dead fucking serious bearable like if I have to live with this disease like I will be okay I got a second one for my car living life with coccidinia greater than living life with Derek that's for sure Because Derek was like an incestual freak. Living life with Derek.
Starting point is 01:01:51 To me, like the girl from Life with Derek was Kacey Musgraves. Do you know what I mean? I've got to go look now. I'm on my way. I haven't seen a photo of her in a while. But when I look back and think with like her straight brown hair that was super long, she was Kacey Musgraves of her time. I don't even know what Life with Derek is if I'm being honest I need oh yeah you're right you're right right you're right I need a documentary on life with
Starting point is 01:02:10 Derek stat genuinely what is life with Derek genuinely like where was it was it a show where did it play yeah it was a Disney Channel show and they were like they were a blended family so they were like siblings who were in the same grade but they were step siblings because their parents got married and they totally were like fucking so then she lived life with Derek when they yeah and it was like oh my crazy Derek walking in on me naked like it was really weird but it was blended it had incestual undertones for sure interesting like I think if the show had continued on like Derek and whatever the bitch's name was, like, they would have gotten married.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Cher and Josh. Cher and Josh. Okay. Who's your weenie of the week? I'm having a tough time anointing a weenie. Someone not too big, not too small. All you need is a light jacket. It's a big responsibility.
Starting point is 01:03:02 It is. And I don't feel like there was, was like a clear weenie of my week who's your weenie there wasn't a clear weenie of my week besides P Diddy until this morning it's Katy Perry like I know sort of she was sort of last week everything I know but I'm seeing everything that she has done up until this point I'm seeing it much more clearly now thanks to this Variety article that really mapped out like her work and her partnership like historically with Dr. Luke. And now I really understand why she just threw caution to the wind
Starting point is 01:03:37 and worked with Dr. Luke. And it was for such a losery, weenie-like reason. And it didn't even work. To me, that is the definition of being a weenie I agree with you I was thinking Katie but like she was it last week why was she it last week what she because of the VMAs and and Orlando doing the dishes oh yeah that was really weenie well I'm sorry if she's gonna keep acting like a weenie she's gonna keep winning yeah and like today was the album day and like it didn't it didn't bring her out of the category like today should have been her queenie day where
Starting point is 01:04:08 it's like listen right all the press it didn't go her way but like the album is here and like she's a queen it's amazing and because that didn't happen she's the ween no it should have been coronation day for katie perry but instead it's like her judgment day it should have been the window is open so is that door i didn't know they do that anymore. Who knew we had 8,000 salad plates? Correct. My queenies of the week are all the queens who skated at Disney on Ice. And just like put their whole skate into it.
Starting point is 01:04:40 I love that. And I learned a lot about Disney on Ice this week. I know you did. Because I asked so many questions. and I'm glad that I did, because it's a real... Jackie, never stop asking why. Because when you grow up figure skating, like, of course, you know, Olympic dreams, hockey dreams,
Starting point is 01:04:53 people also have dreams of doing ice shows. It's not just Disney on Ice. Like, everything's on ice. Cruise ships have ice shows. Like, ice shows are a major career. What don't cruise ships have? Working Wi-Fi for Matt and Abby yeah i just want to say i'm so glad we're circling back to this because after we discussed it i watched their video you know the sit down video did you see abby being like her attitude being done with these people
Starting point is 01:05:21 no that's not the feeling that i got but i just I know I give people the benefit of the doubt when someone like tells me something unless I know them to be a liar I just do believe them you believe them I want to say I believe that there was someone in the room I do I really do because it's so crazy if there wasn't I also understand people are like well if there was someone in the room why do you need the monitor why do you want to look at the monitor I like to see my kids sleeping like yeah of course that's not weird that's not weird at all I'm going to believe Matt and Abby and I can go back on my Matt and Abby like train of of passive following which I've enjoyed that's good I'm really glad for you that's beautiful hashtag I believe Abby I don't know about Matt but I believe Abby I agree um all right well that's our show it's been a fabulous week here at the toast can't wait
