Yeah, you can make it work.
It's like when you read your horoscope.
Remember those fucking apps?
And you would, like, make it. No, even in the back of magazines.
Yeah, you would make it apply to your life,
even though it had nothing to do with it.
They're like, I do have a big financial decision

launched yesterday. I know a bunch of you got it, but if you haven't gotten it yet,
this is the pink new crew neck. We also have another crew neck in teal that I wore yesterday
on the Toast. It has a slightly different design. You look stunning, Margo. Really,
truly stunning. Margo's wearing mine. It's a size large, so it's very oversized. I feel like you
probably could wear like a medium for a better oversized look.
Yeah, but I love an oversized.

like and there's like twists and turns and i was just sobbing it was just such such a good book and there was like spice too
did you ever read love in other words yeah I told you to read it oh you did yeah I feel like it's a
better version of every summer after okay I actually feel like you didn't tell me to read it
you literally I okay like I want to I give you credit you tell me a lot of good books but
I remember just like discovering it nope no okay how did you you recommended it to like me on FaceTime or no like yeah I think I either
told you on FaceTime or like you like posted a story of like thinking about reading the book
and I was like oh my god you have to read it it's so fucking good oh so I did find it and I don't
know I don't know oh I don't know if that's what happened okay so Margo said I posted it being like
should I read it and Margo said yeah so you no but by the way you didn't discover it because like it's a book everyone had been reading i'm
not saying i discovered it but like i meant discovered it on goodreads like i found it on
my own i didn't create it i didn't write it right but like it was a trending book at the time no it
wasn't out at the time i was very late i was very late i was very late i was late not early i was
late in our family we are so obsessed with getting credit.
You.
Everyone, Margo.
Everyone.
You.
Okay, but because nobody fucking gives me credit.
Because you make shit up.
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
released any single song i posted a video of her singing hair salon she's like this is a song that
i've been working on i'm like i waited a year for it to come out like a year before her first song
ever came out i knew about megan maroney so don't even fucking try Jackie gives
me credit for Megan Moroney okay but no offense Jackie's not on TikTok facts okay but I still I
invented Megan Moroney I've invented a lot of things that nobody gives me oh this is the big
one I came up with Magnolia no I knew you were gonna say that no you didn't no i came up with the name magnolia did i remember where we
were i remember where we were i remember where we were i remember where we were too okay because
first of all magnolia was the second dog in the house yes so i was the one who actually she was
a lady of the house i basically got magnolia like magnolia like by a court of law like belongs to me oh oh I was the
one communicating with the breeder I set up all the travel and like I took you to the airport
so I did a lot maybe I don't own okay I don't I paid for her you paid for her so I did a lot of
the work and I remember we were thinking of names before she came and i literally said magnolia let me finish bitch
and then you were like we're obsessed and then you were like oh and that oh my god oh my god you
literally are a liar i'm not a liar actually made it up i was obsessed with the song magnolia by
brett eldridge before yeah i decided to get it but you didn't even put the two together yes i did yes i did you know
what i don't need your kind of approval i know no you didn't no you didn't family's fucking
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
State Farm is there

let me do one

All right, our first story
has the book community,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
So it's kind of a good call.
That would be good.
I love him.
Who?
Conrad.
Conrad.
Me too.
Not the other one.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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.
Like the one where
Noah Centennial
is like blindfolded.
Oh yeah.
Like with Barb
from Perfect Date
or something.
That was a terrible movie
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
On opening night
When like Haim
And Emma Stone
They all went
And they were like
In merch
Like geeking out
Yeah
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
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Not you.
Like,
if you're verified
before all of this,
like,
that's whatever.
But you can now buy.
Where have you been?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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. By the way, do you know that she's the beauty director of Nudestix?
Yes.
I didn't know that.
That's really smart.
She joined TikTok to share her wedding festivities, but we've already been seeing it because we
follow Octopus Lover.
Do you know he's there?
Yeah, of course.
Is that crazy?
Is he friends with Elliot?
I'm pretty sure he's cousins with Elliot.
How fun for him.
Yeah.
And I've been waiting with bated breath to see celebrity arrivals
cameron diaz and her husband and son or daughter excuse me just arrived that makes sense why does
it make sense how do they know each other cameron diaz is married to benji madden uh-huh who is

know which madden each is married to but they're married to brothers cameron is married to benji

Of course Lionel would be there
And Nicole

Probably getting there
Like today
And she's being so cool about it
She's just acting like a regular girl
She's not like
She's sharing everyone's stories
Who's posting her
Yeah but she's not like
Her captions aren't like

rabbi i'm obsessed and i can't wait to see her dress i feel like it's definitely going to be
chanel because she's chanel. She's a Chanel girl right now.
And like Octopus Lover,
who is at the wedding,
like is a toaster.
And like it's very possible
he's like laying at the beach right now
at Hotel Du Cap.
And he's listening to the toast,
like giggling and being like,

like they're talking about you.
You gotta listen to this pod.

a hayley bieber friend i don't know she like was for a while when she was dating scott because she
was like with that crew a lot but she just seems very balanced and very normal no i think so many
people like her yeah and i haven't seen like crazy amounts of celebrities.
But you're right.
The wedding is probably on Sunday.
If it's an orthodox wedding.
Right.
I'm obsessed.
And he's so cute.
And everyone says he looks like Ben.
He does.
And you know his dad is like the CEO of Universal Music Group.
I knew he was like big in music.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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

Oh, speaking of Stagecoach,
for a Patreon episode this month that went up yesterday,
I did a vlog trying to get my outfits ready
and it was really a journey.
Although I did end up with two good outfits so far.
I was halfway through it when watching.
I'll tell you my thoughts later.
Did you get to my first good outfit?
The sweater vest?
Yeah.
Love.
Love, right?
Okay.
So it's like a really
fun, kind of chaotic
vlog because everything
on this planet is
backless and cropped
and some of us have
big jugs and rolls
on their stomach that
they don't want to
show off.
I know it's like
kind of crazy.
So patreon.com

vlog.
