Starting point is 00:04:31 Okay, I invented Kacey Musgraves in this house. Okay, I'll give you that. I invented. What else did I invent? It just feels good when you discover something and then everyone becomes obsessed with it. No, it's my favorite thing. To the point where it's like, I discovered Megan Maroney. No, you didn't. Oh, you you didn't oh no you fucking didn't anyone who had tiktok like of course i discovered megan maroney i have proof on my instagram like i posted before she ever

Starting point is 00:06:31 disgusting oh my god i know i came up we just don't treat liars well i'm not a liar you're a liar actually you're a liar no you're a liar you're a liar i was sitting on the blue couch when i said it remember i remember all of it but you didn't say it so she remembers and claudia has this thing and ben will back me up here where she literally creates memories like will pretend like make up a memory in her head and say it is fact and just expect everyone to believe it to be true that's not what happens it's literally like no you make shit up no i'll say and i'll always ask conviction ask olivia or jackie because they have really good memories i'm like am i making this up or did we blank and Olivia will be like you're making this up or no that actually happened because you make things up yeah but I know when I'm making them up and I know this
Starting point is 00:07:11 is not a made-up story bitch it is so Megan Maroney, Kacey Musgraves, and Magnolia what have what do you take credit for what are like things that you like to your core oh that's a hard one I feel like there's a lot like music wise I agree like I feel like um oh also one more thing I didn't invent but like I was the OG in this house of Taylor Swift oh yeah that's fair I thought you were gonna say Luke Holmes no we all came to it I feel like we all came to that at the same time actually oh my god I'm gonna get out no wait Margo and I have video proof no no honestly there's just no, Margo. And I have video proof. No, honestly, there's just no way. Margo, I have proof. No, you didn't. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:47 The first year me and Jackie did CMA Red Carpet, I believe it was 2018, when It Rains It Pours just came out and we were on the carpet and I was saying to Jackie, I'm like, we need to find that redheaded guy. He's so cute and he has that song. I think I invented him.
Starting point is 00:08:02 If it was when It Rains It Pours came out, he was already huge. No, he wasn't. the song had just came out and then like I was like I was a fan of of his with like fucking like outlaw and like sheriff you know about those songs only after no famous no yes no and also him on vine no I'm just want to say like maybe I didn't invent Luke Combs but I was definitely the first in the family no oh hard no I was no because it was definitely me also because I'm I've always been obsessed with music so I've always discovered everyone first no but you just
Starting point is 00:08:30 like to run your mouth you know talk about it Spotify should do what they should show you like when you first listened to a song yeah like when you first discovered they also should show you how many times you've listened to a song like but it's not just Spotify wrapped like I just want to go see how many times I've listened to long live no I want to like go back to it and be like when was the first time i heard out of the woods you know like yeah i think that would be a cool feature free idea spotify like you first heard this song on september 17th not my wedding anniversary 2017 you know yeah okay so casey musgraves megan morning magnolia i would like this conversation to end okay well i guess we could dive into the stories because that is what you're here to do today.
Starting point is 00:09:05 And I'm feeling like, you know, you're just not in like a credit giving mood. I'm not. Because I only give credit where credit is due. And credit is due. So that's good to know because I do my credit on all four of those things. So we've got a great show.
Starting point is 00:09:16 We've got stories, Taylor, of course. Some book news. The book adaptation of it ends with us that I cannot wait to talk about. So I think, I think. You think? You think? I think. I think. I think so too. For the Fast Five Stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five Stories that you need to know are brought to you by State Farm. The State Farm
Starting point is 00:09:33 personal price plan helps you create a plan that gives you options so you get an affordable price. And it comes with a lot of benefits like the coverage you want, a policy that helps cover what's important to you, and an affordable price just for you. Because after all, life is just better when you can personalize your experiences. You know, like for me, being so young and personalizing playlists with, you know, unknown artists like Kacey Musgraves, Megan Maroney, Luke Combs, Brett Eldridge, etc. But no, Jackie and I are always saying so many things in life are so personal. And Jackie and I are like literary carbon copies of one another. We have the same life, but even our personal price plan from State Far life are so personal and Jackie and I are like literally carbon copies of one another we have the same life but even our personal price plan from State Farms are so different like Jackie's a homeowner she has two cars I um oh nothing I have nothing to my name and and I'm a renter so
Starting point is 00:10:15 we have different different needs you know and so personalization means that you have the power to choose what you want to include and what you want to leave out it just feels better that way and why shouldn't insurance work like that too that's what State Farm personal price plan is all about. You can choose to include options like bundling your home and auto policies. That means you'll get the coverage you want at an affordable price just for you. In the end, you'll have a policy that gives you exactly what you want. Doesn't that make you feel better? It does. Like paying for like a big bundle of things that you don't even have just because like that's what's offered is moronic. And State Farm could never be moronic because like a good neighbor

Starting point is 00:12:52 but also the film community rattled. Okay. We've gotten a bunch of news about the It Ends With Us casting. For those who don't know, It Ends With Us is a book that was written by Colleen Hoover, went super viral over the last few years.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Every celebrity, Kylie and Kendall, were both reading it. And now they're making it into a movie. And so far, we have gotten Blake Lively. I take credit for Colleen Hoover in this family.
Starting point is 00:13:12 100% because I give credit where credit is due and I wouldn't have known about Colleen Hoover if it wasn't for you because you started reading before me
Starting point is 00:13:17 because I give credit where credit is due. I also take credit for reading in this family before Jackie. I give you credit for credit is due because you were on tour
Starting point is 00:13:23 with me in 2018 and bitch, you wouldn't even talk to me because you were reading so goddamn much and I'm like this fucking nerd better stop reading yes you did invent reading thank you because I give credit where credit is due I gave you credit for Casey I gave you credit you fought me on Megan I did fight you on Megan you fought me on Luke I absolutely will fight you on Magnolia and you fought me on Magnolia but I feel like you brought other things brought good hair you're a bitch
Starting point is 00:13:46 feel like you brought other things brought good hair you're a bitch okay so so far the up the cast list that we've gotten has been like very meh we've gotten um Blake Lively as Lily which I wasn't crazy about me neither we also got Justin Baldoni as Ryle which I was not crazy about either he's producing it like we're directing it I also don't have like a connection people love Justin Baldoni because he was in Jane the Virgin Raphael and I never like I don't I don't feel connected to him I don't like I don't dream about him he's not like a dreamy man for me no um so I have like he's means nothing to me love Blake Lively and I support women of all ages she's far too old for this role well also I just like my favorite thing ever and like what I feel like we've done as a society is like with like shows like Summer
Starting point is 00:14:25 I know we're going to outer banks like we find these people and then we become obsessed with them. Like Riverdale, we discover new talent. Yeah. And so that's what I thought that this was going to be the perfect opportunity. Like I thought Sophia LaCourte was going to get discovered and become a movie star because she would be Lily. There were so many good ideas put out for like burgeoning actresses who haven't had
Starting point is 00:14:42 like a major break yet who are kind of known and it would have been an amazing opportunity. So I was let down for that. Anding actresses who haven't had like a major break yet, who are kind of known. And it would have been an amazing opportunity. So I was let down for that. And then I also just don't see her as Lily at all. So we actually have some positive casting news because the 1923 breakout star who I was literally talking about with you last week on the Toast. You were? We were talking about 1923. We were?
Starting point is 00:15:04 I haven't watched it yet. I know. And I said, like, you have to watch it because this guy. Oh, yeah. Maybe. Is so hot. His name is Brandon Sklenar. Or Sklenar.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Excuse me. And he is going to play Atlas Corrigan in the adaptation of It Ends With Us, which is already starring Blake Lively. So he has been known for his role in Yellowstone prequel series 1923. He's landed another major role. He's joining Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni to star as Atlas Corrigan in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel It Ends With Us I am overjoyed you know what he looks like yes yes and this is a bad picture so cute in 1923 was he Michelle Randolph's um love interest in the show no oh um that guy was annoying oh he is he is I mean it's a he's the oldest brother so I assume it's like he's the next line of
Starting point is 00:15:47 succession after next Dutton um he's the next Dutton but it ends on a cliffhanger so we don't really know but he is so hot in the film and he's in South Africa for most of the the show yeah so he's just like being like a safari man with like his knife and like his bow and arrow and like he's so hot and he's a very good actor and he's very classically handsome and I honestly it never would have crossed my mind to put him in this but I could not have thought of someone better honestly yeah which is just so crazy because so far every other casting has been like really bad in my opinion horrible so who was left to cast now it's the young so now they're casting young lily yes oh and young atlas yeah and maybe
Starting point is 00:16:24 young ryle or no there is no oh yeah it's just young lily and young at they're casting young lily yes oh and young atlas yeah and maybe young ryle or no there is no yeah oh yeah it's just young lily and young atlas and for young lily and i believe they're doing like what we want them to be doing the summer i turn pretty vibes yeah because i've seen a bunch of people like sophia lacorte posted a tiktok like she auditioned oh she did yeah yeah oh i thought it was just like a pipe dream no no she auditioned i don't know what ended up happening but she auditioned and then this no. She auditioned. I don't know what ended up happening, but she auditioned. And then this other girl came up. If you guys don't know, Safila Court is a TikToker.
Starting point is 00:16:49 She has red hair. She's beautiful. She's perfect. She's a nice girl. And I would love that for her. I know. And then other people have been coming up like, got my call back. Like, get ready with me. I think they're encouraging that.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Oh, good. Yeah. And what they're doing, which I find interesting, is like all the people that they are having like audition are people who sound like Blake Lively. Like, you know how Sophia like can sound like Blake? Yeah. So this other girl that I saw like sounds exactly like her. So it's like they're looking for people who literally look like a young Blake Lively.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Are you only seeing that for Lily? Are you seeing that for? I'm only seeing it for Lily. There was a lot of like a movement for the guy who plays Conrad in the summary turn pretty to be the young Atlas. Oh. Which he actually does look like Brendan Sklenar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So it's kind of a good call. That would be good. I love him. Who? Conrad. Conrad. Me too. Not the other one.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Not Jeremiah. I hated Jeremiah in the books and I hate him more in the TV show. No. So annoying. But we did just get a poster and a- It's coming this summer. Not a release date, but a- I'm just so excited for the soundtrack.
Starting point is 00:17:45 No, I can't... Even though second season, like, if you know the books, is like... Stinkeroo. Stinkeroo. I have been chasing the happiness that I felt last summer when I... I literally remember I was in Montreal for a wedding and I watched the whole thing on the hotel TV while Ben was in the other room. I have not been as happy as I was in that moment watching that TV show.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I felt like a little kid. I felt far too old to be watching it. Yeah. The music was literally tailored to me. Kim Petras, Taylor Swift. Yeah. Um,
Starting point is 00:18:13 I've been chasing that high ever since that day. Well, hopefully we get it back this summer. I know. Even if it's not like, because we know what happens in the book, we won't spoil it. Even though it's not like the best,
Starting point is 00:18:21 like storyline. I love cousins beach. Like I love, i want to go to there i just love they really it was a perfect adaptation i don't think a lot of people were all bent out of shape like there was no debbie tom ball in the book like who cares it's just a means to an end like they have to change some stuff and the small things that they change like i don't think in the book jeremiah was bisexual i don't think it really yeah i don't think it affects the storyline like i actually felt like they did a perfect job yeah
Starting point is 00:18:47 I agree but Jenny Han does that like to all the boys I love before that fell off beyond time but that first movie was it altered like the the world atmosphere it altered like my brain chemistry bless you she sneezed on it it's true i was just trying to see if there was another one um and then you know there was the kissing booth too which oh but that's not no no i'm just saying i always consider those movies to be like in the same why do we always have to ruin things by giving it a sequel if it's a movie no here's the thing margo i'm so glad you brought that up and i've said this on the toast 100 times and i know you don't listen so i'm sorry if anyone's hearing this for the second time this is what happened we all saw the kissing booth and we were obsessed obsessed obsessed
Starting point is 00:19:27 then we saw to all the boys I loved before and we were like oh this is a movie yeah and then we went back and watched the kissing booth and we were like oh this is a low budget community theater I cannot believe how much I loved the kissing booth the first time and then I watched all the boys I loved before and it took it to another level that I went back and watched a kissing with I'm like how did I ever like I never even watched the second one I did watch the second one it was Joey King um playing with her ex-boyfriend who hated her so much and she hated him equally there was like the chemistry was off the charts horrendous because these two people wanted to slit each other's throats like Oh my God. Like it was very contentious.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah. And it was just, that was a whole, but I did love that time when Netflix was like churning out young, like YA. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Like the one where Noah Centennial is like blindfolded. Oh yeah. Like with Barb from Perfect Date or something. That was a terrible movie
Starting point is 00:20:20 where she like literally tricked this guy. I'm so glad like as a society we've moved on from Noah Centennial. I totally agree. Like I'm happy for him and whatever he's doing, but I'm just so glad like I'm not being forced to watch him anymore.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It was a flash in the pan and he was literally everywhere and everywhere. And we couldn't escape him. And by the way, I like thought he was like amazing at the time. Margot, after the first to All the Wives I've Loved Before, I was literally so creepily obsessed. Yeah. I i got the hype but they ruined it like too much too much that's what they do yeah um so i'm obsessed with this casting like i feel like this casting was done just for me i'm so happy for you that at least we got something are you happy i'm not feeling any like excitement because i didn't watch but I'm like he's hot. And I'm just glad like that it's not like someone basic.
Starting point is 00:21:07 You know. Like you're going to trust me. I trust you for sure. But I do feel like he's younger than Blake Lively. And Justin Baldoni. Well Ryle's supposed to be older than Lily. So that's fine. But Blake and Alice are supposed to be the same age.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Right. Brendan Sklenar is 30 oh and Blake Lively is not 30 not 30 Blake Lively is go 38 35 okay not terrible that's not bad I know what we're at it Justin Baldoni
Starting point is 00:21:37 is Huston Baldini 8th is what I wrote they didn't pick it up 39 okay um so yeah it's a little confusing yeah it's a little out of place but i'm so here for it thank you colleen thank you everyone who made this better is this her first adaptation yeah i do believe other books of hers have been purchased but not so many books get bought just so that other people don't make you know what i have to say yeah the only person that should be allowed to make a book into a movie is hello sunshine productions yeah and i think i think about this all the time because it's so glaringly obvious but i think that what she did was genuinely the
Starting point is 00:22:19 smartest fucking thing ever is like she started a book club because she loves books i can talk about this all the time started a production company and then just like buys the movie rights to all of these books and then just makes amazing films with amazing, like she does
Starting point is 00:22:31 an amazing job and she probably makes so much money. Her company was just invested in by BlackRock. It's over a billion dollars. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:22:37 that's not surprising. Like I just think like it's a no brainer. No, the whole arc of it makes so much sense which is why it's so successful. She loved to read
Starting point is 00:22:43 and she would think like this should be a movie and then she's like, wait, I work in movies. Let me start a production company. And she's just a talented producer and actress. So she knows how to make it good. Yeah. She's done Crawdads, which was great.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Great. She did Little Fires Everywhere, which wasn't amazing. I never finished it. Big Little Lies. Was that her? She was in it. She was in it. I don't know if she did it, but there was one that I just watched.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Oh, this is is gonna kill me Oh Daisy Jones Oh yeah By the way I wanna talk about that Because last time I spoke to you
Starting point is 00:23:10 About Daisy Jones I told you that I like wasn't feeling it By the way And also I wanted to update everyone Jackie started it yesterday Oh
Starting point is 00:23:17 And she's hating it Oh yeah And she said exactly What I said about Daisy Like she is not The right actress So now that I finished it I'm like obsessed
Starting point is 00:23:25 with like everyone in the cast. How did we get here? How did we get out? I used to give it something to see. But I didn't read the book. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Because when it was like trending, like everyone said like that I asked was like you would hate it. So like I'm not gonna read it. So yeah, I don't, I can't say like based off of what I would read
Starting point is 00:23:44 if it was good. But like I just thought like, I mean the cast, I'm obsessed with them read it. So yeah, I don't I can't say like based off of what I would read if it was good. But like I just thought like I mean the cast I'm obsessed with them like Camilla Marone like Suki Waterhouse the two of them. The two of them. I would take a bullet for. Yeah. I love them. Like I just like love like all of it.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I thought it was just like so well done. Also the music was so good which is crazy. Some of it. No like most of it. There wasn't a song where I was like this is bad like the river. Tend to see down to the river. Yeah, because you know, they had really good people. Marcus Mumford is a part of music.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Maren Morris. They had good people. I know. But like, it's just so rare that like music that you never hear and you like love it. Yeah. So totally random side note, but I think this is a good footnote for this story. I forgot to make it a story, but I'll just add it. Are you seeing all this Jessica Chastain drama?
Starting point is 00:24:27 She won't sign the book? Okay, so Jessica Chastain is currently in a play on Broadway that's like really critically acclaimed. Apparently she's amazing in it. And every night when you're on a Broadway show, you go out the back door and there's people waiting for you with like, you know, posters to sign. And I guess last night or two nights ago, somebody brought her a copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and asked her to sign it. And she said no. And there brought her a copy of seven the seven husbands of evelyn hugo
Starting point is 00:24:45 and asked her to sign it and she said no and there's been a lot of hoopla the seven husbands of evelyn hugo is a book that has been purchased for adaptation and there's a huge movement for jessica chastain to play celia saint james she's this redheaded actress very old hollywood and really jessica chastain is perfect for it on Watch Happens Live she was asked about it and he asked and she was like I've heard about it send me a script like I'm down um so this video of her saying no to signing the book went viral and people are like she read the script and she hated it she doesn't want to do the book like jumping to conclusion yeah that she put out a statement and she was like I just save it on her Instagram I didn't
Starting point is 00:25:21 see that she was like I get asked to sign books all the time and I say no because it feels weird to sign something I did not write. It feels like I'm taking credit for her book. By the way, a hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:25:31 She said, it doesn't mean I saw a script and didn't like it. It just means I'm not signing something I didn't create. Or that I'm not a part of yet. Yeah, I didn't think there was anything.
Starting point is 00:25:39 I didn't think her not signing it. I thought it was very respectful to the author. Yeah. And I didn't think it was like a sign that like she hated the script. Yeah. No, but she has to. Be to the author. Yeah. And I didn't think it was like a sign that like she hated the script. Yeah. No, but she has to.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Be Celia St. James. And Aza Gonzalez. Has to be Evelyn Hugo or Ana de Armas would be good too. She would. Yeah. I'd be happy with either of those.
Starting point is 00:25:54 But Ana de Armas gets every role. Yeah, that's so true. It's not fair. Like leave something for Aza Gonzalez. That's so true. All right. Ready? For our next story.
Starting point is 00:26:02 A little T-Swift news. This is crazy. Have you heard about this? Taylor Swift sidestepped the FTX lawsuit just by asking a simple question okay i yeah please explain okay you know what ftx is it's a ticket thing no so ftx um in like thanksgiving time of last year it like blew up so it was this app for crypto, kind of like Coinbase, you know, use Robinhood for stocks. And FTX was this major app that like millions and millions of people were using to make money, sell crypto coins, all that stuff. And it turns out the whole thing was fraudulent. They stole money from people, people who put money in the app, like never got it back. They worked with
Starting point is 00:26:41 Shaq. They worked with Tom Brady. They worked with huge celebrities to promote this, getting people on the app. And I guess they had made an offer to Taylor Swift. So when it comes to making business decisions, Taylor Swift does her due diligence all too well.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Very funny CNBC. So in 2021, the pop superstar was approached by the now bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, offering her a $100 million sponsorship deal that would have involved selling her tickets as NFTs to her fans however it never materialized
Starting point is 00:27:11 before inking the deal Swift just asked the FTX representatives a simple question Adam Moskowitz who's one of the attorneys leading the class action lawsuit on behalf of people towards FTX they're suing the celebrity endorsers because they's like they are promoted this fraudulent said i lost money so he went on a podcast called the scoop and said in our discovery taylor swift actually asked them can you tell me that these are not unregistered securities and they were unregistered securities thus making the whole thing fraudulent so she never took the deal even if it weren't for that i don't think she ever would have done the deal because she's not gonna ask her fans to buy nfts like especially for this tour like it was so important and everything had to go right like ticket master didn't even go right i don't think
Starting point is 00:27:52 she would have done it anyway but the moskowitz lawsuit is seeking five billion dollars in damages according to their website they claim that ftx's high profile promoters didn't properly research ftx before participating in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in the form of yield bearing accounts. Swift is one of the only few celebrities to question the exchange. Swift is not named in the lawsuit. And of course, she did not return a request for comment. So this is so crazy because like classic Taylor Swift having her ducks in a row. I know.
Starting point is 00:28:20 But like, isn't she tired? Like sometimes, you know what I mean? Like having like doing your due diligence with like everything she has people I don't think she was like let's find out if it's unregistered she had like the professional business people but wouldn't everybody like wouldn't Tom Brady would know better but this reminds me a lot of fire festival yeah because it's like you know Bella Hadid promoting something that put people like in danger so true do we blame the influencer or do we blame the brand and it's similar so true do we blame the influencer or do we
Starting point is 00:28:45 blame the brand and it's similar to this do we blame ftx or do we blame shack i don't know i don't know i think it's like obvious you obviously blame the brand yeah but i do think that there's obviously a responsibility on someone this major the endorser but i don't think like taylor was really ever even if they were like not unregistered i don't feel like they didn't even get to the point of like her actually considering it. Like I'm sure it was like they got this deal. Her team did the due diligence first and then would bring it to her. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:12 But they didn't, they were like, they knew it was not viable and never even brought it to her. But she comes out looking like a business queen. A million dollars is not enough. For Taylor. Yeah. No, for her tour. Like she's probably going to, this tour is going to gross over a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Yeah. She's already played to a million people isn't that crazy she has like 800 000 speaking of did you see that the video of amanda stanton's kids i did amanda stanton from the bachelorette went to the eras tour somewhere and had the best tickets ever and her daughters are so cute and sweet and they were all dressed up as like princesses they knew every word and tay Taylor like saw them the whole show and kept singing to them. Yeah. It was so cute.
Starting point is 00:29:47 There's a video on her Instagram. Now that's why you have kids. Yeah. Totally. So Taylor Swift. Maybe I'll steal Michaela. Oh my God. Just for the show.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Taylor would bring her up on stage. She would be so like blown away by her beauty. Yeah. Totally. We should kidnap Kayla. I don't think it'd be a kidnapping. I think Olivia would let. And I think Kayla would want to come. I don't think Olivia would be a kidnapping. I think Olivia would let, and I think Kayla would want to come.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I don't think Olivia would let. Like, concerts are, like, crazy. And Michaela's, like, really young. Yeah, that's just so true. Like, I don't think you could bring a two-year-old to a concert. I don't know. People have done crazier shit.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Yeah, I see all the girlies, like, out here pumping at Eros. Like, they are queens. Like, literally going to the bathroom, and not even going to the bathroom. No, the amount of TikToks I've seen have been, like, I got appendicitis surgery this morning,
Starting point is 00:30:22 and now I'm here. Yeah, like, no. Everyone is doing the most. Yeah. Speaking of Taylor Swift, like, it's appendicitis surgery this morning and now I'm here. Yeah. Like, no, everyone is doing the most. Yeah. Speaking of Taylor Swift, like, it's actually hard for me to talk about this story because Margo and I have like something that we need to share. So last night, what time was it at seven? Well, you were on your way to, what time was your day?
Starting point is 00:30:35 My day was 845. So it was 830. So at 830, Margo texts me and she says, Claudia, I said, yes, Margo. I was in my bed, you know, me time. She says, Taylor's at blank. A restaurant we go to like multiple times a week. Literally every week. She said, I know a few people there.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Everyone has texted me. Guys, Nicole was there. Nicole was there. Texting Margo. Taylor was there having dinner with Gigi, Cara Delevingne. And Blake Lively. And Blake Lively. In the restaurant.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Not even in a private room, like in the restaurant. Everyone like the way she walked in and everybody in New York knew about it within five minutes. Like, no, that's what was the craziest thing is because this happened right before my date. And then I'm on the date and like, obviously you have to put your phone down. And like the whole time I'm just like in pain. And when I picked up my phone, like I genuinely had so many text messages about it. And I'm like it's really so crazy also because notice that there I haven't seen a paparazzi photo I know I was
Starting point is 00:31:29 gonna make it a story today like gg blake and everyone goes out with taylor and they just had the story two nights ago she was at casa cipriani with ryan reynolds and blake bliley and so funny somebody had texted me who was at casa cipriani and said taylor swift is here with ryan gosling i'm like what yeah that's ryan gosling and then the next day i saw the story i'm like oh my friend was just mistaken she's obviously not obsessed like i am with everything that goes on in hollywood um so margo and i like knew that she was at our favorite restaurant like knew we could just walk in there but like margo was on a date and i was like home looking like a rat by the time i like brushed my hair and like put makeup on, she would have been gone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:05 And got downtown. And also everyone was telling me like, just to bring my date like to the restaurant. I don't think you understand. Like I couldn't have this man seeing me like that. Margo, I just want to say like, you probably could have.
Starting point is 00:32:15 No, no, no, no. I would have been so embarrassing. Also like, I would just, it's for the best that he knows that you're like deeply unwell when it comes to Taylor.
Starting point is 00:32:21 I mean, obviously brought it up. So like he was aware. Oh good. Just so you could talk about it. Yeah. I had to, I had to get it out um what did he say does he like Taylor yeah he I mean he's like no I feel like some people are like oh she's so she just writes songs about her boyfriend no no he's not um because that's like immediate red
Starting point is 00:32:36 flag oh like goodbye deal breaker yeah um because he obviously doesn't support women in the arts yeah that was sure okay but I. So you didn't go. We didn't go. And I don't know. I also like, what are you going to do? You can't go up to her. So I'm just going to sit and stare. No, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I feel like I would have not been OK. I would have just went. I weirdly don't want to meet her ever. I know. Because I can't handle it. I don't know. Like one time she sent me merch. What if like I walked in there and like we made eye contact? She'd like oh girl with no job no that's like crazy I know I'm totally kidding
Starting point is 00:33:09 but she did send me merch once even though it's probably like tree or you know some assistant some lowly PR girl who was just like happy for the task but but maybe yeah I can dream um maybe she listens to the toast imagine I feel like I would listen to a podcast where they talk about me every day in the most complimentary Beautiful ways It's just like It's like I don't want To be her fan I want to be her friend
Starting point is 00:33:28 Margot that's like So real That's so real But you know what's Cool about Taylor It's like all of her Friends are her fans Like did you see
Starting point is 00:33:36 On opening night When like Haim And Emma Stone They all went And they were like In merch Like geeking out Yeah
Starting point is 00:33:41 Like I feel like She kind of likes that So maybe like We have a chance I know I really think She'd like love us that so maybe like we have a chance I know I really think she'd like love us no here's the thing about Taylor that I know she would like about us like one we respect her and we always have yeah we don't have a history of no we're not a flip-flopper we're not flip-floppers two she's so family oriented I mean hello who's more
Starting point is 00:34:00 family oriented than us no one and I feel like when it comes to her friendships, she looks for like very few things. Loyalty, trust, fun. That's us. LTF. LTF. How loyal are we? Beyond. You can do a fault.
Starting point is 00:34:16 The thing is like, you can really trust me. Like the way I know so much about so many things, like it's crazy. And I don't say them on the toast. Like I was actually thinking the other day, like I was having this crazy conversation with like an A-list celebrity in my Instagram and I did not say anything on the toast because like if I want to keep having those conversations I can't be out here like blowing shit up a thousand percent even though it kills me because if you guys knew like you would die yeah fun I mean no one's more fun
Starting point is 00:34:40 Taylor come with us to stagecoach you'll never want to go anywhere without us ever this is just our pitch like our Shark Tank elevator pitch. Taylor, I know you're not in the market because you have like amazing friends. A million friends and you're so busy. And they're like richer and like more beautiful than us. But what we lack in looks and money we make up for in charisma and talent. And personality. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:34:57 She would be cackling with us. Cackling. Joke, joke, joke. Joke, joke, joke. Joke, joke, joke, joke. And we can make jokes about people she hates. She would love oh my god love it yeah just an idea i'm just throwing it out there taylor feel free to to think about it yeah yeah and taylor while you think about it i'll let everyone know that today's episode is brought to you by single drunk female from the executive producer of girls we've got a brand new show on Freeform and Hulu called Single Drunk Female. The Guardian actually called Single Drunk Female a next level fleabag. So we talked a lot about
Starting point is 00:35:31 this show. Again, it's from the executive producer of Girls. It's about Samantha Fink, and she is on her journey of sobriety. And I saw Hannah Burner on a podcast say like, sobriety is in right now. It is. And Samantha Fink knows that. Getting sober was not the end of her journey. In season one, which we all watched last year, it was a journey to get there. And now that she's sober, she's starting from rock bottom. We'll see the real challenges and all the hard work in being an adult, finding personal success,
Starting point is 00:35:53 and learning to celebrate yourself while sober. So while Samantha Fink may have started at rock bottom, she's here now somewhere in the middle. She's 549 days sober. Not that she's counting. And things are looking up. So if you're interested in like a fun, good show,
Starting point is 00:36:08 which like there's nothing out there these days that's just like actually funny and light and like has heart, check out Single Drunk Female. The season one reviews were amazing. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Again, it's just nice to have somebody light to watch that's like cute and funny and everybody's like good looking. I just really like that. It's really funny. They have really good, I feel like an authentic portrayal of sobriety. So Freeform Single Drunk Female, all the episodes are now streaming on Hulu. Enjoy it. It's really good and I feel like it's very toasty. Today's episode is also brought to you by Droplet. If you've been listening to our show over the last few weeks, then you've heard us talk about our new skincare devices that we've
Starting point is 00:36:47 been using called the Droplet. Droplet takes powerful skincare ingredients and turns them into fast moving micro mists that painlessly deliver them into your skin. And this is important because your skin works as a barrier, making it incredibly difficult for your skincare ingredients to really seep into your skin instead of just sitting on the surface. So it means like the collagen, which is notoriously too large for absorption, but it's critical for maintaining firm, hydrated, youthful skin, can now actually penetrate into your skin and keep it healthy.
Starting point is 00:37:13 So I've been using the collagen in the droplet for the last few weeks. I definitely feel a big difference in how my skin is absorbing. I feel like I used to do like big skincare routines with like a thousand things and then lay in bed and it would just like wipe off on my pillow. But the droplet, like it absorbs right up.
Starting point is 00:37:31 What movie? I don't remember. She's the man with the tan. It absorbs right up. Oh yeah. So the droplet collagen formula includes other powerhouse ingredients like peptides,
Starting point is 00:37:39 air, air derline, and it offers the lifting effect of injectables without needles, pain, or downtime. So the product is really amazing. For a time our listeners can get 200 off their droplet device that is a crazy deal at droplet.io when you use code toast so that's d-r-o-p-l-e-t-t-e
Starting point is 00:37:58 dot i-o that code is toast to get 20 excuse me not $200 off your Droplet device. Droplet.io. That code is TOAST. All right, our next story. Twitter has removed blue check marks from legacy verified accounts, including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, The Toast, Jennifer Lopez, and more. So Elon Musk's purge of blue check marks from Twitter accounts verified under the company's previous regime has begun.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Now a blue check mark badge on Twitter primarily signifies that it's the account of a person. It's an account belonging to someone who is paying Twitter for the perk. This article is so shady. I just rephrased it because they were like being shady. But now this is from variety now a blue check mark on twitter primarily signifies that's it that it's an account belonging to someone who is paying musk one of the world's wealthiest individuals for the perk just to be clear like when you spend the five dollars a month on it's not going into elon musk musk's banking no he's trying to make twitter a profitable business because they literally been
Starting point is 00:38:57 like losing they're the biggest tech company in the world and like has been losing money it was just like shady like whatever you feel about it i'm like that's just not now we lost our verified check mark and they were like do you want to pay for it, you go, I'm like, that's just not now. We lost our verified check Mark. And they were like, do you want to pay for Twitter blue? And I was like, uh, fuck no. That's literally so embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:39:08 I think having a check Mark now used on Twitter used to be a sign of, you know, priority and, and rep privilege. Yeah. And now it's humiliating if you have one because you're paying for it. Can I argue the same thing on Instagram? You don't pay for it that you do now.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Not you. Like, if you're verified before all of this, like, that's whatever. But you can now buy. Where have you been?
Starting point is 00:39:31 Oh my God, I didn't know that. Am I an influencer? You can buy verification now and it's like you pay per month and... But do you have the same verification as everyone else?
Starting point is 00:39:40 What do you mean? Like, it should look a little different. Like, bitch, I paid for this. It's the same exact thing. So now, like, people... How much is it? um i don't remember i want to say it's like either 15 or like 10 or 5 between that and you obviously have to have like a minimum amount of
Starting point is 00:39:55 followers now no there's no prerequisites no i didn't know that yes and it's like that's why like i don't know if you've been seeing more like verified people like i actually have yeah and it's like, that's why, like, I don't know if you've been seeing more, like, verified people. I actually have. Yeah. And it's not real. And it's like, it's honestly, like, it's annoying. No, it is because maybe you have to be a business account in order to buy it. But, like, the whole point of inventing verifications was to, you know, be able to tell when somebody who's well-known know that you're looking at their profile because there are so many fake profiles. So, really, like, it was invented verification for a purpose. To verify an identity. Right. Who's well known Know that you're looking At their profile Because there are so many Fake profiles Right So really like
Starting point is 00:40:25 It was invented Verification for a purpose To verify an identity Right And so this is just weird And I feel like Everyone's talking It's good for like
Starting point is 00:40:33 Businesses Because like you Like it makes you Like look more legitimate Right Which like that makes sense But it's not just businesses Who are doing it
Starting point is 00:40:42 No no It's just so weird Because it's funny Because I feel like Everyone just hates Elon Like everyone's talking About this Twitter thing I didn't even hear
Starting point is 00:40:48 That you could do that Yeah This rolled out like sooner But the difference is Is that They're not removing They're not removing Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:54 So if you like If someone you know Like recently Newly becomes verified Like you know They paid for it Yeah a thousand percent Well on Twitter
Starting point is 00:41:00 Like a lot of And they're also changing Like if you're a website Like CBS or whatever, you have a gold one. It means you're like a publication or a news. OK, so it's it's different. But if you have a blue one and you're like a celebrity like paying for it, like that's like so embarrassing. So it's like, why do you care that much?
Starting point is 00:41:19 No, especially on Twitter. Irrelevant. Irrelevant. I haven't seen everyone I follow who's like famous, like doesn't have anything. People are not buying it. I don't I don't think anyone's gonna buy it but then Elon also said he was gonna keep he's gonna pay for his own no like LeBron James like three people who he like really liked he's gonna pay for them to keep it like he's gonna buy Twitter for them I mean this is moronic and I don't know what um but the thing is is like when you look at Twitter from like a business
Starting point is 00:41:45 perspective like I do believe like Elon is like making them like a lot of money well I'm sure like he did lay off a bunch of the people who like were not necessary to him and now he's like creating new revenue streams so like it's weird but I do think Elon is like actually making Twitter a profitable business which is why he bought it for 40 billion dollars for sure but it's right now like long term will that I don't know I don't know but like Elon is like the wealthiest man on the planet for a reason so like I trust him yeah he'll figure it out like if I had a business that needed turning around they were like are you gonna have Elon do it or someone else like I'll give it to Elon yeah for sure um my next story is something I'm obsessed with that's going on this weekend Sofiaia ritchie's wedding oh oh my god i was talking around the way here he's talking around
Starting point is 00:42:27 the way here because she just joined tiktok to kind of like blow up probably about her wedding her tiktok handle is her soon-to-be-married name sophia ritchie she's getting married abroad so i'm sure she actually probably is already i think they are i saw a tiktok he was like wearing his wedding ring so her fiance elliot grange and her.

Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah. I thought he did it on his own. I didn't realize he was a nepo baby. But you know what? We'd love to see nepo babies marrying one another. Yeah. 100%. To create grand nepo babies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah. Yeah. I'm obsessed. Obsessed. She's so beautiful. And you know what? Like after scott disick i am so this she deserves the world yeah and i'm so happy and like what's better not that this is why she's doing it no i know what you're gonna say but what's better than just like stunting on your ex with like a better man a better everything and just like getting married and getting married in like the most literally one
Starting point is 00:45:23 of the nicest hotels in the world i don't know if the wedding Is actually there But that's where everyone's staying I imagine it is there I imagine it is as well I'm obsessed Obsessed And like Imagine just being a wedding
Starting point is 00:45:32 A hotel guest At like Because I don't think They took over the whole hotel No Because I see like people In the background Just like hotel guests
Starting point is 00:45:38 Yeah imagine And if you're a hotel guest At that hotel Since it's like so Private and expensive And I think you actually Have to be approved To stay there
Starting point is 00:45:43 You're obviously like of a certain caliber. So you're not, you know, obsessing over and talking about it on a podcast. Which is why we're not there. Right. All right, our fifth and final story is something I can't believe doesn't happen more. An unclaimed Powerball ticket worth $1.5 million
Starting point is 00:45:55 is set to expire. Time is running out. Nobody has claimed it. So someone in California is the winner of a $1.5 million lottery prize and they may not even know it. The California lottery announced on Tuesday that time is running out to million lottery prize, and they may not even know it. The California lottery announced on Tuesday that time is running out to claim the prize,
Starting point is 00:46:09 which is set to expire next week. Days have turned into weeks. Weeks have turned into months. And the California lottery is still waiting for the player who bought a winning Powerball ticket in Los Gatos this past October to come forward. The winning ticket, which was drawn on October 26, 2022, is due to expire on April 24th. And it has these numbers, 1936, whatever. They were missing the Powerball number, which is why it wasn't like a billion dollars,
Starting point is 00:46:30 but they had everything but the Powerball number, so it's a $1.5 million ticket. It's been traced back to a purchase at the Mobile Gas Station on Los Gatos Boulevard in Santa Clara County. The winning ticket was one of two that matched five numbers, missing only the Powerball in the draw
Starting point is 00:46:44 on Wednesday, October 26, officials wrote wrote anyone who may have purchased the ticket for drawing is encouraged to search their car junk drawer wallet and any other place they stash their ticket to see if they have one at this point there's no way of knowing if this was a local resident who bought the powerball ticket or if it was someone just passing through and you know what I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often because lottery tickets like are not digital in any way like if you open your window and it blows out the car window, like you're fucked.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Also, I have two things to say. One, how do they keep track? Cause it's like, think about it when you go to like a bodega and you buy like a lottery thing. Like I don't think that they, like the cashier is keeping track of like which number. No, they're not.
Starting point is 00:47:22 So like, how do you know? The machines that like the lottery people sell to the bodegas, like track all the data. That's how they know. It's like when the Powerball's a billion dollars and everyone's running out and getting tickets, they'll say a winning thing was printed and it's in California.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Oh, and then also like, I'm, cause everyone is like so, you know, selfish. I'm shocked that the company, whatever it is, Powerball, like even reminded, like keep your money selfish I'm shocked that the company whatever it is Powerball like even reminded like keep your money I was thinking that too because I was probably thinking probably a lot of unclaimed tickets go by with like you know a couple hundred thousand not the billion ones but every now and then I'm sure somebody loses a ticket and they wouldn't want to remind because they don't want to give the money away but they are that's why I'm shocked I'm shocked too but I'm actually not shocked i'm
Starting point is 00:48:05 actually surprised this doesn't happen more often yeah like that episode of friends by the way whoever it is probably knows and probably accidentally threw it out and is probably like we need to check in on them so i have bought lottery tickets many times in my life and i always take a picture of them smart but i don't know if that um is eligible like if i lost a coat check right like if laterally if i won the lottery and i lost the ticket but i said i have a picture of if that is eligible. Like if I lost it. This isn't a coat check. Right. Like if I, later or later, if I won the lottery and I lost the ticket, but I said,
Starting point is 00:48:28 I have a picture of it. Would they be like, sure. They think it's Photoshop. Like they'd probably, maybe they could check the barcode at the bottom. Maybe they could do like
Starting point is 00:48:35 run a thing on it. But like, I'm sure they would need it in hand. I just feel like the lottery needs to modernize. Even though if the lottery was digital,
Starting point is 00:48:45 everyone would be much more skeptical of it. A thousand percent. I think it's actually so much better that it's, like it's cash only. It's in hand. It's on paper. It's very like, you know, Oregon Trail. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Like it's so old school. So old school, but better that way. But you know, I, many years ago, when there was like a big billion dollar powerball I bought tickets and I lost half of them but someone else won and it was in California but like why is it always in California but I why is it always in California that's such a good point yeah yeah so those were the fast five stories hopefully whoever has this ticket like get it So you can go on my lottery dream home. That's what I would do.
Starting point is 00:49:26 If I won the lottery, I would go. It's really, it's 1.5 million. So it's really like 750,000. It's 750,000. And that's if they take the lump sum. I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:32 that's if they don't take the lump sum and if they do take the lump sum, it's probably like 500, still a shit ton of money. Yeah. I could use it. I maybe I'll have to check my, my car or my junk drawer. Maybe I have the winning ticket.
Starting point is 00:49:42 All of a sudden you live in California. Maybe I was in Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Los Gatos. Um, those are the the fast five that was a toasty week we're back next week that's all she wrote that's all she wrote and anything else you want to say to the peeps anything you want to promote well i want to promote margo's merch toastmerch.com new crewnecks mugs phone cases and our new toasty designs with our new logo.

Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah. Love. Love, right? Okay. So it's like a really fun, kind of chaotic vlog because everything on this planet is
