Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Thursday. Welcome to the back ladder half of the week. Congratulations, girlies. We did it. Hey, Jax. How you doing?
Starting point is 00:00:11 I'm doing great. Thank you for asking. So joyous that it's a Thursday such as Simcha. And I hope that everyone is celebrating accordingly as we gear up for the end of the week. It's almost here, you guys. Not only is for the end of the week. It's almost here, you guys. Not only is it the end of the week, but next week is Thanksgiving. So most people should have a nice short week next week where really officially have entered
Starting point is 00:00:35 holiday season. I mean, we know holiday season is being kicked off when ToastMerch.com is lit up with the new holiday merch collection from the Toast Girlies. Oh, yeah. And we kicked off holiday season early because we want to make sure everyone gets their holiday gifts in time for the holidays. Now, speaking of holiday gifts, I had a transformative evening because I got all of my holiday shopping done. Someone, I need to thank this person, sent me Patricia Altschul's Instagram where she did a post about how you can order from Buckingham palace gift shop online.
Starting point is 00:01:10 And they send it to you in the mail and it's like premium, premium stuff. How much was shipping? Uh, there wasn't like a crazy shipping cost. They ship internationally DHL. So also like, if it's good,
Starting point is 00:01:22 like I know a gift shop could be like a little yikes, but if it's good enough for Patricia, it's good enough for your girl. No, I wouldn't assume Buckingham Palace gift shop to be like, you know, a Hudson News gift shop. You just, you never know what kind of quality they're putting into their gift shop. I was on the website for hours last night. Like they have the most amazing gifts for everyone in your family but also just things for yourself things that you need like I got an apron which I've been feeling like I need
Starting point is 00:01:50 I got my 2023 planner that's Buckingham Palace style like it's so queeny I would have gotten something for you but I just didn't feel like you would want that so why because you're just really like anti-royal really uh how is that the case and that's literally how's that the case don't be revisionist history because you're bitter because you took it a little too far uh i am an enormous fan of the family i watch a crown in two days i'm just trying to reel you in a little bit for the sake of the business, not for any other reason. Sure. Well, they have amazing things, amazing things for kids. It was the highlight of my day, and I just wanted to share that,
Starting point is 00:02:36 pass it along, things you could never dream of they have. No, that's a nice – it's hard to find unique new gifts. It feels like everyone's getting the same thing. That's why you've got to shop our toast sponsors for your stocking stuffers and shop Buckingham Palace dot com. Right. And our toast approved holiday gift guide. We do a holiday gift guide every year on the Patreon.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You know, we should do that for November, like this month, because we don't want to wait too long. Yeah. People love our gift guides and like Amazon gift guide, just like everything that we think would make great gifts. I'm like not a good gift giver. Also, like there's so many things that like stink about being Jewish
Starting point is 00:03:14 during this time of year. Like you just are so left out. But whenever everyone's like, I got to do my holiday shopping, like you don't really have holiday shopping. Like Hanukkah gifts, when you're a kid or a thing, you get like a toy.
Starting point is 00:03:23 But like as an adult, it's like not really a thing. So when everyone's like running around the mall last minute trying to get you know do my Christmas shopping like we don't have to do that so that is kind of nice no but I'm feeling like this year I just want to get people gifts for the holidays who knows when they'll come when you'll receive them there's no rhyme or reason it's just I'm feeling festive and generous well you have my address so feel free I'm always thinking of you and I'm oh anytime I see a Claudia actually I have my address. So feel free. I'm always thinking of you. And I'm, oh, anytime I see a Claudia, actually, I did see a gift.
Starting point is 00:03:48 No, I shouldn't have got it for you because I've gotten you one before and you didn't even like it. But it was a puzzle, a queen puzzle on the website. You know, I actually probably would have liked that. But I just got to a place in my life where I was talking about like how much I loved puzzles. And then literally I got like 18 puzzles from different people. And I was like, all right, first of all, I don't like't like puzzles that much second of all I'm very specific when it comes to puzzles
Starting point is 00:04:08 like if you're gonna give me a landscape like a green garden and the whole thing is green like I'm not doing it I need an easy-ish puzzle like you know what I mean you know what else I got like so fucking cute they have a lot of kids pajamas and they have uh footed onesie baby pajamas that are uh buckingham palace guards costume deceased deceased deceased i got some books they have some nice history books i got a royal line of succession book because i just need a family tree that i can always reference or not reference or you know throw it up put it in a blender exactly um well it is Thursday so if I have this like pep in my step today I would say that's why okay no it's so good to know it's important to always reference like why you're in a good or bad mood you know what I mean totally and they have sweets biscuits
Starting point is 00:04:57 so much good food stuff you can get a hamper I didn't know that's what it's called and it's like all these food gifts you can get something to throw your dirty undies in. Well, and then I guess you could use it as a hamper, the queen's hamper. For when you buy her dirty undies at auction. Dirty undies at auction. Yeah. So it's Thursday, which means we have an amazing show because spirits are high here at the toast because it's Thursday. And clearly somebody got their holiday shopping done early and she's on cloud nine. So it means fabulousness for everyone fabulous news fabulous stories fabulous sponsors fabulous girls lots of fabulosity lots of fabulosity and then the rest of my week it's time you guys we're one week for the homemakers out there we're one week out from thanksgiving and so it's time to start prep i
Starting point is 00:05:40 didn't realize if you're cooking your own thanksgiving like you don't cook everything the day of not even close. Like you cook desserts a few days in advance because those can go straight in the freezer. You do gravy beforehand, like a bunch of other stuff. So on the day of, it's as easy as possible. So I need to start like making my grocery list, getting everything.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I'm going to make my gravy and we'll take it from there. But this is my first time hosting Thanksgiving and I'm not taking it lightly. And it's a huge undertaking. I commend you because one thing about me, I'm a permanent guest. I'm not a host. I'm a guest.
Starting point is 00:06:13 So for me, the prep really starts about an hour before. Some foundation, some concealer, some contour, and I'm ready to go. Yeah, plus you want to set your table whenever you have an opportunity to because that can be done whenever. Yeah, that shouldn't be a day of thing because that can sit out for a month. Yeah, just don't to set your table whenever you have an opportunity to because that can be done whenever. Yeah, that shouldn't be a day of thing because that can sit out for a month. Yeah, just don't let it get dusty.
Starting point is 00:06:31 How many people are you having over? Just four adults, three children, one Bryce. But it's that Bryce you got to impress. Changes everything. Yeah. How is my Bryce? He's good. They also have some gifts for pets at the Buckingham gift shop, of course.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's not surprising by any means. Because one thing about the queen is that she respected the Strice brothers. Oh. Indirectly. Big time. Except did you see that scene in The Crown when the Romanovs were about to be murdered and there was a cavalier in the mix? Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It was really upsetting. Just one, you know, in all the history that I've read, I never read that the Romanovs were about to be murdered and there was a cavalier in the mix. Yeah, I did. It was really upsetting. Just one, you know, in all the history that I've read, I never read that the Romanovs had a cavalier because that's something I would have remembered. So I'm pretty, like, I just don't want to get too upset. But there were definitely dogs at Ipatiev house. That's for sure. Well, the crown is fictional, so.
Starting point is 00:07:21 But it's like not. But there, therein lies the proof. we're in this in between and and that's the problem like we don't know what's true and what's false no that's kind of like danielle staub i feel like the crown is really in their danielle staub era like there is no in between with them no they're only in between they're the anti anti Danielle Stout. Precisely. Precisely what I said. Not at all. Exactly. It's exactly what I said. I know that's one of your other favorite things to say. It is because sometimes like the only thing that can really wrap up like whether we're having a debate or we're talking sometimes the only way to perfectly wrap up a conversation is in think
Starting point is 00:08:02 looking at it through the lens of Danielle Stout season one tagline you either love me or hate me there is no in between with me it was a chapter title in one of my books I feel as though it is one of if not the most important quote of our lifetime more important than the law is reason free from passion it's up there if I had to have a list of like maybe five or ten those two would definitely both be on there okay another one would be you either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain that's good that's a very like a bone chilling quote yeah sometimes and I guess this is where like Instagram quote culture like comes into play because sometimes like a quote can really like shift perspectives. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:49 It's beautiful. Speaking of Danielle Stab, we've got some big Real Housewives news today. Some drama in the New York reboot, which we're going to discuss and get into. And we have some other stories. I know you threw a royal story in there. It's okay. I did. Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:09:09 I actually didn't make the cut. Maybe tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow oh maybe tomorrow okay or we can talk about it now no i need the the facts and the names and everything um maybe tomorrow maybe i'll take another look while you're reading an ad so no no no it's okay don't move some things around i shouldn't have brought it up i shouldn't have brought it up without further ado where is brew he doesn't come to work anymore neither does through he's like mom get off my back bruce says the same he says do your own damn work Do your own damn work. Do-do-do-do-do. Sounds like Thu.
Starting point is 00:09:49 He says, get the fuck out of my house. They say, do-do-do-do-do. Where's my food? Go work and put some food on the table. Do-do-do-do-do. Bryce and Strice, they hate their mom and auntie. Damn, those Strice brethren, they can turn on a dime. So true, bro, so true.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Now, without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you, yes, you need to know. And today's episode is brought to you by the iconic, the award-winning, sparkling cocktail, Spritz Society. If you haven't already heard, and you definitely should have heard, Spritz Society was named the best canned cocktail by USA Today. If that isn't a reason to try these sparkling cocktails for the first time, then we don't know what is. Spritz Society takes all natural, recognizable ingredients, packs them into a convenient sparkling canned cocktail that you can take anywhere. They're low calorie, low sugar drinks with 6% ABV and five iconic flavors to choose from. Grapefruit, blood orange, peach, pineapple, and lemon. There's a little something to fit every vibe. So it's like I could share with you my favorite flavors. They're peach and grapefruit, but Sprint Society is so personal. Like everyone has a different favorite. Like there
Starting point is 00:11:04 is a lemon cult. There's a big pineapple community. I'm a grapefruit and peach girly, but honestly like the longer I get into the night, I'll really take anyone. They're so good. It's the perfect thing to drink outside with family. Perfect thing to bring to a dinner party.
Starting point is 00:11:17 One of the four packs has a bottle and a half of wine. So that's a lot of wine. They're 6% ABV. And now we sell variety packs where you can get the four iconic flavors all in one. If you don't know what to try first, get the Spritz Variety 8-pack. It features all four of the original flavors. And then you can add peach to your cart and complete the whole set.

Starting point is 00:11:55 Lizzie Sivetsky has exited Real Housewives of New York reboot over anti-Semitism. So page six has reported that Lizzie Sivetsky has quit the Real Housewives of NYC. The reboot before the new season has even wrapped. Semitism. So page six has reported that Lizzie Sivetsky has quit the Real Housewives of NYC. The reboot before the new season has even wrapped. Multiple sources told page six the social media influencer who is Jewish received a wave of anti-Semitic comments when she was announced as a cast member. As soon as she was announced she was getting insane threats and anti-Semitism on social media. A source familiar with the show told page six. Another insider added that Lizzie was quote scared. Then Lizzie posted yesterday on her Instagram saying I will not be continuing on the Real
Starting point is 00:12:29 Housewives of NYC. As a proud Orthodox Jewish woman I thought participating in this series would be a great chance to represent people like me and share my experience. Unfortunately from the time of my announcement in the cast I was on the receiving end of a torrent of anti-semitic attacks. As this continued I realized that this path was no longer right for me and my family I'm looking forward to my next chapter stay tuned thank you for your love and support so I feel like there's two things going on here the first is like I have no doubt that when she was announced she's orthodox Jewish she's very you know uh proudly pro-Israel she was to get absolutely annihilated because being pro-Israel is like these days, like the worst thing you can do when it's actually quite a lovely thing to be.
Starting point is 00:13:13 So I feel like she was probably prepared for a decent amount because she's an influencer and full-time activist for Judaism, against anti-Semitism, for Israel. So I feel like she definitely deals with like a huge amount of this on a daily basis. And I'm sure when she was announced, it was a level that she didn't even think was possible. And there have been lots of rumors going around about there being more there. So I don't want to discount the fact that this definitely played a factor. She has young kids. I don't think really anyone wants to put their family through that and I actually do think in the end she'll be really
Starting point is 00:13:48 grateful she didn't do it because like we see this happen like Garcelle on like really pre-established franchises with well-respected housewives who have like earned their credit um even they are not above the crazy Bravo fan attacks so I do think in end, she'll be happy she didn't do it. But there is something else going on because I don't think, you know, this is it. Yeah, because they announced that she was a cast member officially at BravoCon. We've known for months that she was going to be a cast member.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I think she's received a lot of anti-Semitism, even a lot of some of the Bravo fan accounts that posted the news that she was leaving. I was reading the comments and it's like, that's the kind of anti-Semitism that you need to worry about saying that Bravo should have never cast her because she has the word Zionist in her bio. Um, all of these like horrible things that are, it's so, it's so messed up and it's not even like necessarily quote unquote threatening or violent. It's just like blanketly not accepting her because she's a Zionist and that's the worst thing you can do dismissing her existence entirely so I think
Starting point is 00:14:50 that when she joined and she got this tarn of anti-semitism which she's so online and she's so pro-Israel and that's just not they those two don't blend well it's a scary place to be I imagine that at first she was like no I'm gonna stand firm in my spot because I'm going to be on the show and I'm going to show everyone like what it is to be an Orthodox Jewish woman, what it is to be a Zionist and what I'm doing is important. And then from what we understand, something happened while they were filming. I've now we heard it like through the grapevine and page six also reported on their TikTok that there was an event and Lizzie is a matchmaker, Jewish matchmaker. And one of the women wanted Lizzie to set her up to meet someone.
Starting point is 00:15:29 And we did some research. There's only three single women on the show. Yes, Jenna Lyons, Uba Hassan, and Brynn Whitfield. I had heard that it was Brynn, but it could be any of the three women because they're the only single ones. Single. And so they asked Lizzie, like, oh, could you set set me up and Lizzie said that she only sets up Jewish people with Jewish people and then the person said something to the effect of that's what Nazis do and called Lizzie a Nazi right she said like I the point of my matchmaking is to further the Jewish population so I actually
Starting point is 00:15:58 only set up Jewish people with other Jewish people and the girl I think Brynn but any of those women said um well that sounds like something a Nazi would say right that's what the Nazis did that's what she said and which is really um like not an okay thing to say and what's so weird to me is like because this is so under wraps is like Lizzie's getting dragged right now on social media um by like the Bravo fandom when in reality, like she was literally called a Nazi. And I just want to say, like, I guess to some people that saying like, I would only set up Jewish people with Jewish people is like a crazy thing or offensive. But let me tell you, I know a million girls from high school,
Starting point is 00:16:37 people I'm still friends with who run these like matchmaking groups. The whole point is to marry off like young Jewish men with young Jewish women. It's a very common thing. Like we're just now getting back to pre-holocaust numbers like furthering the jewish population and um ensuring the existence of the jewish people for generations to come is a very common thing it's a very okay thing there's literally nothing wrong with it i feel like we've said you know multiple times on the show like personally like when i was dating like i would only consider Jewish candidates. And that's a personal preference.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And that's a preference of a lot of people. I think it's a preference of a lot of people in different religions. It's not an exclusively Jewish thing. It's great to do others. I empower everyone to do whatever they want. But dating, you have preferences and everyone has their own preferences. And that's OK. No, and Jews are not the only minority community who want to stick together stick
Starting point is 00:17:25 together and like there's a number of reasons why i think for lizzie like her mission of being a jewish matchmaker is you know the jewish population was depleted after the holocaust and as you said like we're just getting back to those numbers and that's an important mission of hers also like a lot of jewish people want to be with other jewish people Also, like a lot of Jewish people want to be with other Jewish people because you have a lot in common. You have similar values, interests, taste in food even.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Like it's just, and a lot of minority communities are in the same, think the same way. So it's not like a crazy, crazy thing. And it's not something that makes you a Nazi. And the Nazis weren't like Nazis because they wouldn't marry outside of.
Starting point is 00:18:06 The Nazis were Nazis because they were like murderous, genocidal monsters. So I think Lizzie just wanting her Jewish brothers and sisters to marry each other. Really, that's a stretch. No, and I know like people on the internet like are constantly jumping to conclusions. So it's important to also note like just because you want to marry someone from your own faith or you want to set up other people from your own faith doesn't mean you like hate interfaith or interracial marriages that's literally not what we're saying like I think that shit is fabulous I think you should marry whoever the fuck you want I love that for you but personally like when I was dating I was only looking at a
Starting point is 00:18:40 certain pool of people um so just keep in mind, just because you say one thing, that doesn't mean you hate the other. You know, just because the internet is so fucking crazy sometimes. Yeah. Two things can be true. Yeah, you can love all marriages. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:57 But if you want to be a matchmaker, you have your particular area of focus. Like Patti Stanger, does she hate poor people? Right. Because she's the millionaire matchmaker? Actually, I do think stanger does she hate poor people right because she's the millionaire matchmaker actually i do think patty stanger hated poor people um so i just think this is like a really interesting thing going on because like lizzie is being dragged by the
Starting point is 00:19:17 fandom for being like jewish and zionist and and all these things and it's like where is the person who called the jewish girl a naz. Like where's the dragging for her. Again we don't know who confirmed it is. I feel like most people don't know the story of what happened. And they're just seeing that Lizzie left. Because of anti-Semitism. Which is not really. It's not the whole story.
Starting point is 00:19:38 And therefore it's like kind of weird. Because she was experiencing anti-Semitism the whole time. So why now. Why would you leave now. And so I think people don't have the information, but they're just going off of like, well, good, she should have never been on. Her views are crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:50 She's a Zionist. And it's like, and then it goes back to like, Bravo needs to start betting their candidates better. And it's like, just because a housewife doesn't agree with everything you think doesn't mean that they shouldn't be a housewife. Vetting their candidates like she's some kind of criminal. Yeah, no, I saw, like read the comments
Starting point is 00:20:04 on those Bravo Instagram pages. No, I can't. It's too upsetting. It's really too upsetting. Like, being a Zionist and supporting Israel, the Jewish homeland, is literally the most normal thing ever. It's totally okay. If you don't agree with it, okay, sure, whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:16 We are all complex human beings. But, like, fuck off. Stop making it out to be this thing where it's like you'd be thrown in jail. It's not a cancelable offense. It's like written off, canceled. It's a a controversial unsavory view it's none of those things it's not it's not and i refuse to accept that narrative i really do yeah so i can't read that shit it really upsets me like i just can't believe that literally one tiny slice of land for the jews literally we were murdered we didn't have anywhere to go we need our biblical homeland
Starting point is 00:20:44 i can't people are dumb ugly stupid and annoying and i we were murdered. We didn't have anywhere to go. We need our biblical homeland. I can't. People are dumb, ugly, stupid, and annoying. And I hate you all. Claudia, they can't have that one tiny slice of land. They just can't. It's too much. It's too much. It's too much land. It's just one, one country for the Jews. The size of New Jersey for reference. It's too much. New Jersey, they can't have it. Well, I have reached out to Lizzie offering her a platform here on the show. I would love
Starting point is 00:21:13 to hear what she has to say. I have met her at Jewish events. She's very involved in the community and she's a great spokesperson for the Jewish people. And I was really looking forward to seeing her on the show. Also, I thought it was really cool that production was like, they really wanted her on the show. She's much more religious than we are. So that means like there's a lot more restrictions for her for Shabbat. She can't travel. She can't use electronics, all the holidays. Like we're,
Starting point is 00:21:37 you know, less religious than that. So I loved that production was going to make all these, you know, things work for her logistically. I thought it was really cool. all these you know things work for her logistically I thought it was really cool like oh you know New York is the biggest most dense population of Jews in America I thought it was great that we had a girly on there um and I just think this reboot is not off to a great start no and I have a few questions now because it's like I don't know how much footage they have are they going to take Lizzie out of everything I don't know are they going to show what happened and then how Lizzie walked away also the page six thing said that this comment from the cast member happened and then I think production's response to it is what was the final nail for Lizzie and left like oh like they didn't have her back yeah something to
Starting point is 00:22:19 that effect like it wasn't just because someone said something it was the way it was handled okay well that makes sense too. Cause it's a crazy ass thing to say. Yeah. Also like, lest we not forget, Lizzie was supposed to be on Real Housewives of Dallas and then they never got there last season. Then she was moving to New York and they put her on legacy, but she was the first cast member that was rumored to be announced.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And I can't believe that she's not doing it. No. Cause it seems like they like really wanted her in the franchise in one way or the other. it no because it seems like they like really wanted her in the franchise in one way or the other it seems like like she's was down like extremely down to be on reality tv to put herself out there so like how bad were things that she's not doing it and she's not even waiting till the end of the season to see how things go like goodbye yeah no that's so true and I am really curious if this is going to be like completely written out or it's now like a big storyline I think I do imagine I think it'll be in the show I'd love to see what this comment was that clearly set her off yeah
Starting point is 00:23:15 and maybe it was like following a bunch of other stuff that she experienced on the show and like you never know what's gonna be the thing that's like okay yeah yeah yeah well you never know what's the thing that's gonna set you off you know what Taylor has a really good quote in one of her songs I think it's Dear Reader which is like a little cringy but um that bend when you can snap when you have to yes if that ain't me if that ain't you, literally, not you quoting Taylor. Oh, update to the quotes list. Update to everyone from yesterday.
Starting point is 00:23:52 For the Capital One presale, I was in the queue for three hours. No tickets remaining. I'm with the general on sale public, whenever that is. I've just resigned myself to the sheer fact that I will be a victim of the resale market. And that's okay. It's okay. I'm going to pay pay a premium but I'm happy to do it for my girly now let me ask you something how is any of that different from what you said yesterday when we decided that you
Starting point is 00:24:14 were gonna just well yesterday I still had the hopes of yesterday but today two day pre-sale it was the verified fan pre-sale which me and margo got and then it was capital one cardholder pre-sale um i did get two of my friends to offer me their credit cards and i would pay them back and i didn't even get a chance to use them because so many people were in the queue yeah it was very sad i'm sorry i'm laughing because someone like sent me a dm saying like tell claudia and margo that they can see what number they are in the queue. If they go to like the. If you right click on Safari.
Starting point is 00:24:49 The HTML. View page source, you'll see the backend HTML of the website. And if you go down to line 222, it'll say exactly how many people are in front of you. So I send that to Claudia and Margo like, oh my God, I saw the CM. You guys probably like aren't looking at your DMs right now. And then Claudia wrote back,
Starting point is 00:25:03 yes, we are 28,000 and 22,000 respectively. Respectively. Yeah. I was 22,000 for two hours. Like no, not a single person moved in front of me for two hours. And then quickly it dropped to like 14,000. And then I was just, it was, I knew when it started dropping really quick, I'm like, oh great. People are getting in, seeing that it's sold out and leaving. Now, let me ask you something. Are you looking to hear from Taylor about this debacle? So there's like a lot of rhetoric and dialogue. People are really angry and being like, can't believe Taylor's just left us out here not saying anything.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I don't really know what she could say. Like Taylor, people are mad at a few things. One, that the presale was such a fuck-hocta mess. Really, there's only so much she could do she she got her verified pre-sale for fans she got them to do that first before Capital One I think she advocated to Ticketmaster as much as she could I don't know at some point it is out of her hands but what people are really upset about her is for um opting into dynamic pricing yes this is what I saw so what that means is like Ticketmaster has an option when you're uh an artist to have dynamic pricing or
Starting point is 00:26:09 not dynamic pricing and what dynamic pricing means is like if a lot of people are buying tickets all at once you know supply and demand the the cost will go up because there's so much demand um or you can opt in to have the tickets stay the same price the whole time no matter what first come first serve everyone gets the same pricing. Taylor, you know, our capitalist queen, she opted in for dynamic pricing. And, you know, you could be mad all you want, but, like, you would do it too for a check.
Starting point is 00:26:33 So, sorry, Taylor Swift is human. Alert the press. Yeah, but I think it was worth mentioning that Luke Combs has non-dynamic pricing. No, of course, because Luke Combs, like, is the everybody man, you know? Yeah. I know. But, and also a lot of people were saying.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Not to compare. No, a lot of people were also comparing to the Olivia Rodrigo Sour Tour. She had similar, like, rates of people showing up and not getting tickets. Again, she was playing tiny venues. But her team, there were so many bots who then bought tickets and put it on resale markets. Her team bought back from the bots, from the ticket resale websites, bought them back and relisted them for like the normal price on Ticketmaster.
Starting point is 00:27:21 So the bots got their money? Yes, but then the fans got their tickets for a normal price. Nice, but I don't like the bots getting their body weight. I just don't think like it should be this hard. Like why can't a bunch of celebrities, like Luke Holmes and Taylor, like they need to get together. They have enough money between the two of them
Starting point is 00:27:40 and start like a competitor to Ticketmaster that prioritizes fans, that works really well with artists. And between Taylor and Luke Holmes, they have so many friends in the industry, they could get like a major amount of artists to leave Ticketmaster. But the problem is, is that, and this is why what everyone's talking about, is that Ticketmaster is a monopoly because Ticketmaster owns Live Nation and Live Nation is the biggest promoter of concerts. So if you're going to be out here doing concerts, there's Live Nation, AEG, and Outback. But Live Nation and AEG are two of the biggest ones.
Starting point is 00:28:10 You want one of those to be your promoter. You're like, you can't really go on tour without them. They do all the work for you. So if you want Live Nation, which is the best promoter in the country, to promote your concert, you then also have to work with Ticketmaster. So that's why a lot of people are, you know, complaining that that never, that merger should have never happened because it is a monopoly. Yes. But even if Taylor and Luke made their own ticket platform and
Starting point is 00:28:33 prioritized fans, how could they actually make sure that fans got the tickets? It sounds like she's trying to prioritize her fans through Ticketmaster. Yeah. How do you like what could they do differently really? Well, I think a lot of people were upset that Taylor was allowing six tickets to be bought at a time because that's what bots do. They buy six and like sell, you know, two sets of three. No, three sets of two. Excuse me. Like that was one thing to also like for this verified pre-fail sale, whatever, you got a code. And then when it was time, you would click the link and you would wait on the queue for
Starting point is 00:29:12 hours and then put in your code. So there was like thousands and thousands of people who were waiting in the queue who didn't even have a code, like morons. So like why not put the code in in order to get in line for the queue, you know? Yeah. So just like logistical things especially capital one yesterday you just basically had to check out with a capital one credit card and if you didn't have a capital one credit card your purchase would be declined but it's like so
Starting point is 00:29:34 how come we all could get in line even if you didn't have a capital one credit card and like slow down the process and crash the website moronic so there were like logistically things that could have been done better at the end of day, there isn't a million things that like Taylor could have done to prioritize fans. Like this is how ticketing works. And I think the people complaining and crying on social media that they have survivors guilt, the ones who got tickets. People really are not. They're not saying that seriously, are they? They are.
Starting point is 00:29:59 They are saying it dead seriously. I saw a TikTok and I actually made a response video. They have survivors guilt because they got tickets and they feel guilty for those that are out in the cold I I made a response video and immediately deleted it because I knew people were going to call me out being like it's easy for you to say like you can afford step up and they're not wrong so like I'm not the injured party here I think the injured party are people who want really really want to see Taylor and couldn't get face value tickets so I sympathize that people who won't get to go to a concert that they wanted to go to. I would categorize them as injured too.
Starting point is 00:30:27 No. So it was this girl like laying in her bed. She had like text all over the screen. And there was just like music playing in the background. She's like I'm feeling so confused. I know millions of people are hurting right now. It was so serious. And like I just had to hop on there and be like Kim.
Starting point is 00:30:40 There's people that are dying. Like there are wars going on. There are people with terminal illnesses. Like you need to calm down. It's a motherfucking concert, bitch. And it's important to remember this isn't the end. Like resale tickets, yes, are more expensive, but like day of tickets, like there are all these apps you can get like $20 seats. Like there's a million ways to go to a concert if you want to go, especially one at a stadium that seats 80,000 people. Calm the fuck down, bitch. That's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:06 You need to calm down. And I think Taylor, like, saying something would kind of validate people being nuts. So I kind of am here for her silence. Okay. I don't have a thought on it. There's a lot of toxicity and entitlement in the Swift fandom,
Starting point is 00:31:21 I believe, and I think, like, Taylor making a statement would then embolden them. Enable that entitlement in the Swift fandom, I believe. And I think like Taylor making a statement would then like- Embolden them. Enable that entitlement. Okay. Unless she was just like, stay patient. We're doing our best. Thanks for the support.
Starting point is 00:31:35 She doesn't have to like apologize or anything, but just be like, shit's crazy. Thanks for showing up. Yeah, no. You know what? She should make a statement that says, yes, I am that bitch like breaking websites breaking credit card companies and that's what you get when you're
Starting point is 00:31:50 the biggest star in the world like I've never heard Coldplay have this problem you know totally okay let's move on Coldplay into this to not to drag Coldplay let's move on to our next story which is Pete Davidson and Emrata have their first pics together and they're getting cozy so Pete and Emily are already looking like a picture-perfect couple in matching outfits uh just days after sources reveal the two are dating in photos obtained by page six the pair matched in black puffer jackets while and white t-shirts and gray sweatpants while meeting to celebrate Pete's 29th birthday. They were first spotted together a few days ago. Pete arrived at Emily's apartment in the West Village.
Starting point is 00:32:29 She was walking out to meet his car, but there was too many paparazzi. So she turned around. But last night she walked into a building and cameras caught them embracing with it was a forlorn building. I'm like, these are two of the biggest stars. Like, what is this dumb yeah biggest stars and they're just like wearing sweatpants and it could just be like anyone in the world and it looks like you know like a post-grad walk-up apartment that has roaches
Starting point is 00:32:54 you know yeah and that's his birthday celebration question mark that's Pete the man of the people yeah I just want to say I'm not going to be like a really like a denier a Davidson Rada denier because I don't care but I thought that that hug looked like really friendly like I mean by the way it's important to keep in mind this is like their second or third date that's true I guess that's how I would hug someone I'm on a second that's how you would embrace someone who like you're into but like you're not dating yeah I thought the same thing too but then I'm like wait this is blown up so much but like they were spotted on Dumois like four days ago but you don't think that they saw each other privately a little bit before people were showing up at other people's apartments maybe maybe but
Starting point is 00:33:35 if that's the case that's still a relatively new relationship yeah I thought the embrace was very like fratty like I thought he was gonna give her a no. It's like she's coming over to his frat house. Like here, let's take a look around and I'll show you my room. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like we'll play Xbox with the boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:53 No, it was definitely. It was definitely giving like college embrace. Yeah. But again. But maybe that's the Pete Davidson way. I think that they are well suited and. Me too. Age appropriate. All good. Me too. Age appropriate.
Starting point is 00:34:06 All good. All good. All good. Just I love our first photo. It's always a big milestone in a celebrity relationship. It is. It's the one you think of forever. Them at Knott's Berry Farm, you know?
Starting point is 00:34:18 Are you ready for our next story, which is a little more romance news? Yes. But literally ever since you brought up Dear Reader, like in i'm like dear reader calling a pot i thought you should know i kind of like hate that song i kind of don't like the melody but i think it might be one of the best written songs on the album like it's extremely profound yeah i mean that one line Let's look at the lyrics. Yeah. Dear reader lyrics. Dear reader lyrics. Dear reader. If it feels like a trap.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Lyrics. You're already in one. True that. Dear reader. Get out your map. Pick somewhere and just run. Okay. Dear reader.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Burn all the files. Desert all your past lives. And if you don't recognize yourself, that means you did it right. Ooh, chilling. Never take advice from someone who's falling apart. True. Ain't that the truth? Dear reader, bend when you can,
Starting point is 00:35:16 snap when you have to. Facts. Dear reader, you don't have to answer just because they asked you. Trills. Ooh. Dear reader, the greatest of have to answer just because they asked you. Trills. Ooh. Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I disagree. Ever had a Birkin? Ever had a nice bath? A massage? A trip to an island? Dear reader, when you aim at the devil, make sure you don't miss. Agreed. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:35:44 So I wander through these nights. I prefer hiding in plain sight. My fourth drink in my hand, these desperate prayers of a cursed man. Over my head. Yeah, me too. Spilling out to you for free. But darling, darling, please, you wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking. If you knew where I was walking.
Starting point is 00:36:04 To a house, not a home all alone because nobody's there where I pace in my pen and my friends found friends who care no one sees you when no one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire okay actually I wanted to ask you I needed a clarification on a Taylor lyric that I feel like nobody's kind of looked into. It's from karma. Okay. Pull it up.
Starting point is 00:36:28 No, it's just one line. Put fingers down. Karma takes all my friends to the summit. Is there something after that? No. Well, taking something. So the, what's the summit? Summit is like the edge of a cliff i think oh it's not like one of those um i thought it was one of those like bill gates billionaire are called summits too but but isn't there one called the summit it's like in idaho when all
Starting point is 00:37:01 the billionaires go it's not called the summit gg g1 summit or something uh it's it's in like sun valley that is a summit where like there's a meeting of the minds oh okay so what is the dictionary definition for summit it's like a cliff it is hold on let me just get that sun valley summit for you karma's gonna track you down step by step i think it's that's just the town it's a conference that sun valley thing the summit is the highest point of a hill or a mountain it's also a meeting between heads of government but i think it's the first one in her thing karma takes all my friends to the summit okay and i think when you're at the highest point of a hill or a mountain like you could either
Starting point is 00:37:39 fall off of it no no you're standing tall it's a choice the summit is really like a not a choice but it could go either way sort of thing no and I think the way she's leaning into is like karma benefits her friends because all of her friends reach mountain peaks like they're all doing well oh true or karma and like takes her friends to the summit in which case like when karma could be like a negative or a positive thing and when it's right of course when it's a negative thing like her friends might fall if that's what they deserve as bad friends when it's a positive I think it's the previous positive things her friends are peaking because they're good friends because they deserve it yeah I think
Starting point is 00:38:22 it's that I think it was that do you feel like you have more clarity now I actually do and no they don't karma doesn't take all of her friends to the g10 summit that's what I thought I'm like oh my god I feel like more people should be talking about this karma takes all her friends to Davos right literally that's really funny okay are you ready for our next story now a little more romance news is it the romance news that's brought to you by modern fertility knowledge is power and when you know more you can make better decisions for your body your health and your future there aren't many decisions bigger than having a kid but for many women their fertility is a big question mark that That's why Modern Fertility was created, an easy and affordable way to test your fertility hormones

It's like, it has to do with. Like mandatory. That's a good word. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah, I thought it was a good word. I'm going to try and use it. Like I'm going to use it in a sentence. Jackie. Hold on. So is it a verb? Like what? It's an adjective.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Yeah, like you describe something as being mandatory. Jackie. You look so stunning today. I didn't know sickening was a compulsory quality. Was compulsory quality of the morning toast. You did know that. Okay. I didn't know that yet, but I was just being fictional for the sentence. Yeah.

Are you ready for it i feel like akilah at the b we haven't been ready for this story no because akilah the b is the best fucking
Starting point is 00:41:51 movie of all time like lawrence fishburne's best work of course kiki palmer you see kiki palmer's hosting snl this week no i didn't who's the musical guest sizza so it'll be like a really good one and i feel like kiki pal Palmer is the perfect person for SNL. And I'm glad because like, well, she might not be like the most famous. They're putting talent first. And that's where she's going to thrive. And I feel like this is going to be a huge platform for her. And she's going to become a huge star.
Starting point is 00:42:17 She is. But I feel like she's going to become an even bigger star. People who don't know her are just going to love her upon meeting her. And just like find an enormous respect for her talent. She sings, she dances, she acts, she does comedy. Like I hope she does it all. Yeah, totally. It's going to be good.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Maybe the next story isn't one worth telling since we can't get to it. No, tell it. I'm ready. I'm ready. Brad Pitt has a new leading lady, Inez de Ramon. They've been together for a few months. She is the ex-wife of Vampire Diaries star Paul Wellesley. They separated earlier this year.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah, so she's got great taste in men. While Brad Pitt and Inez de Ramon were just spotted together for the first time at Bono's concert in LA over the weekend, insiders say they've been getting to know each other for quite some time. He being 58 and she is 32. She's also a fine jewelry executive. Have been dating for. Oh my, wait, she's like so stunning.
Starting point is 00:43:09 She's like really classically beautiful. Not like this Instagram model, Thoughtlandia. Like she has a real face. Yes. And like a real nose. She's got a real fudge. And forehead. And she's quite stunning.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Like she's very striking looking. And she has a real job. I love. But but you know every time since Angelina like Brad Pitt has been spotted with a woman like remember that professor that Israeli girl um it's never like a model like he's always looking I think he likes a good brain he does I feel like well at this point in his life he is prioritizing conversations and people right but I also think that because he's Brad Pitt he gets the girls who are brainy and beautiful. He doesn't have to choose.
Starting point is 00:43:49 He doesn't have to choose. And I'm really happy for him. And like, and this is kind of what I was saying. Of course it's different, but like when I was saying like Pete Davidson, like choosing Emrata, like it's so obvious, you know, she's the hottest woman in the world. And for me, like Brad Pitt, like choosing this rando beautiful like classically stunning accomplished businesswoman like different like
Starting point is 00:44:11 not celebrity not model like that's an inspired choice for me I just want to say like this week when I was saying like this feels uninspired about Pete Davidson this is an example of an inspired choice and this is not pitting women they're all great women I'm just saying yeah but I feel like that's what Brad's been looking for. I feel like we could have said that even when he was single. Like he's not, I think he wants someone who's like. Even though, by the way, he was recently linked to Emrata. Yeah, but who said that?
Starting point is 00:44:38 Never confirmed. Also, she is another one, brainy and beautiful. Yeah. But I think he's always been looking for someone who's industry adjacent has their own thing going on like someone who can teach him some a thing or two do you think Paul Wesley from Vampire Diaries like woke up today he's like oh my god what the fuck my wife ex-wife is with Brad Pitt yes but if they're separated and divorcing they probably hate each other and he's like good luck no this is gonna add fuel to the fire Brad no yeah totally but like he's an
Starting point is 00:45:14 actor I'm sure like every male actor like looks up to Brad Pitt and then it's like your ex-wife is like hang out yeah yeah that's like when celebrities date lay people at least Paul Wellesley is like you know he'll he'll be fine um but when celebrities date lay people and it's like the lay person's former ex who's a fellow lay person is now dating Lady Gaga that's right right that's no that's like inherently the problem with The Bachelor is that like they all become it's lay people becoming unlay people but their former lay partners are still lay. And they want a piece of the action. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Anyways, happy for Brad Pitt and Ines. No, I like that too. Like she's honestly like, she has a new fan. Like I think she's very beautiful and like I like her. Yeah, we should check out her jewelry. Yeah, what's it called no it's she's an executive so it's not her no but like she obviously like works for the company because she feels passionate about it and it's good jewelry yeah I feel like she's probably like
Starting point is 00:46:14 an exec at like Tiffany or something if I had to guess oh no I feel like it's um hold on let me try an indie brand yeah you know like uh she was okay she graduated from the university of geneva with a bachelor's degree what the bachelor's degree in business administration geneva is not genovia no i'm are you how stupid do you think i don't know what were you about to say Are you? How stupid do you think I am? I don't know. What were you about to say? Geneva's like Switzerland, right?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's like a really like hoity-toity. Oh, wow. It gets hoity-er. According to her LinkedIn, she previously held roles in the jewelry department at Christie's and at a luxury Swiss jeweler, DeGrossogano. She now works as the head of wholesale for an LA-based brand, Anita Co Jewelry. Oh!
Starting point is 00:47:07 That sounds like what I would think, aside from the Christie's piece. So she's fancy and smart and pretty. Let me tell you, those women who work for Christie's, I never saw a more fabulous bunch. I never saw a more fabulous bunch. One of my friends, she works at Christie's, and I swear to God, she's actually not like other girls. She's fabulous. Which friend? Caitlin, do you know her?
Starting point is 00:47:37 No. I think you do. I met her through Margot, not Asher. Okay, cool. She's really like, she's something else else and so i think that's i don't know what they're giving in the lunch room at christie's but it's fabulosity on a platter thing is i think this is like a nature verse nurture thing and i don't think it's what they're serving at christie's i think it's who they're letting through the door i think christie's does the
Starting point is 00:47:57 vetting and finds those girls and then i think brad pitt goes to to Christie's to look for something. To Christie's. To shop for some art. And some art. And some art. I kind of get a job at Christie's. You think they would let me in the door? That would be the true test. Yeah. Like, seriously.
Starting point is 00:48:17 I could do it. I mean, I talk so fast. Oh, I got a piece of art ready for 500, 500, 500, 750. Oh, I got 750. Oh, I didn't write 1,000, 1,000, 1,000. I got 1, 500, 750, 750. Oh, I got 750. Oh, I didn't run out of 1,000, 1,000, 1,000. I got 1,200, 1,200. 20,000 sold. I think there's a difference between being an auctioneer and working at Christie's.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Oh, you're right, because it's very like this. 20,000? Those are the clients. It's very civilized. It's civilized. Working at Christie's, I feel like a few of the books that I've read have main characters who work at Christie's or Sotheby's because it's a very interesting job. And it's a lot of like, yeah, it's a lot of knowledge about things like art, history, jewelry, fashion, whatever the category you're in is. And then you like talk to clients and like explain why something is worth the value that it has.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Yeah, no, you're right. I actually also read a book about a girl who was like dying to work at Christie's and she like conned her way into becoming friends with one of the Christie's girls. And she like had the knowledge. She was really smart, but she was just like a con woman. It was a good book. Yeah, I could see a con woman thriving at Christie's.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Anna Delvey is perfection. Okay, ready for our next story? Your fave, Brendan Fraser, will be skipping the Golden Globes after accusing... Because he's scrupled. Because he's scrupled, and he had accused Philip Burke of sexual assault a few years ago. He said in his GQ cover story
Starting point is 00:49:38 that he will not participate in the award show after the former Hollywood Foreign Press Association president, Philip Burke sexually assaulted him. He said quote I have more history with the HFPA than I have respect for the HFPA. It's because of the history that I have with them and my mother didn't raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things but not that. He had previously claimed in 2018 that Philip Burke sexually assaulted him during a luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2003 and caused him to be blacklisted from Hollywood. Now, even though Philip Burke is no longer at the HFPA,
Starting point is 00:50:10 so you would think like, okay, maybe Brendan can come in. There was no accountability. There was no accountability. They had even done an investigation when Brendan said what he said. And they said, quote, although it was concluded that Mr. Burke inappropriately touched Mr. Frazier, the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I don't think it's a joke to put your finger up someone's butt. Like, you're kidding, right? No, that's so that's I think like why the beef runs so deep. It's not just right. It's not about it's not about it's also about the institution hfpa handled it and belittled what he experienced and still hasn't changed course or even acknowledged like that's really painful and i i want to say like i think the world of brendan frazier and this article like i actually i actually could get emotional. Like I think, you know, Hollywood is like, so like just full of people who'll do anything to get ahead. And the fact that like, he's had his comeback and he still won't, he's not going to like push his values
Starting point is 00:51:15 or his trauma. Like he is going to dig his heels in, like at the top of his game, he's still going to be talking about the injustice because it still hasn't been course corrected and I just love this man like I have so much respect for him and I'm so I'm so honored like to be a part of his comeback I really am so are you gonna abstain from the Golden Globes in solidarity with Brendan I mean I wasn't planning on watching because like genuinely and I mean this like in a genuine way like who the fuck cares um and also Brendan Fraser's not attending, not interested. I guess I'll just have to see where I am that evening. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I don't think I need to. But would you take a stand with Brendan? Sure, sure. How about this? I'm taking a stand with Brendan Fraser, and I encourage you all to do so. Let's boycott the Golden Globes. And I thought they were kicked off television
Starting point is 00:52:03 for like not having enough money. And not having enough interest. They're back. But also it's like, okay, so even if it's Sunday night and you are looking for something to watch, you have to intentionally not watch the Globes to stand with Brendan.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Yeah, I'll read a book. I'll get a snack. I'll make a cake. There's a million things. I'm a very interesting person. Sure. Sure. Yum. I stand with Brendan Fraser.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I'm assuming he's not going to win because he's out here dragging them to filth, which we love. But I'm still holding out for an Oscar for Brendan. Yeah, who cares about the Globes? It's not even part of the EGOT. It's so true. The Globes are like nobody's even part of the EGOT. It's so true. The Globes are like nobody's. Irrelevant.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Irrelevant uglies. Are you ready for our fifth and final story, which is a new trend amongst mamas and babies? What is it? Is it upsetting? No. Well, I mean, maybe. It's really, really funny.
Starting point is 00:52:59 The Wall Street Journal just reported on it, but it's been like on Instagram and TikTok for a while, and there's one account that really harnesses all of the sad beige content the Wall Street Journal says sad beige has taken over baby gear clothing and decor so all the baby gear these days cribs nurseries if you look at you know inspo it's all in beige and it's like yeah no baby's favorite color is beige and there's this instagram and tiktok account that's like sad beige children and they're sad beige toys for sad beige children toys oh that's terrible kids need color they're all gonna end up colorblind if they're not exposed to many colors yeah but like you see these pictures of nurseries
Starting point is 00:53:43 and they really look so gorgeous and so peaceful. Right, but they're all beige and neutral. But they're all beige and neutral. It's like kids like colors, primary colors. I know they're not like aesthetically pleasing, but this. No, but like the wackier the nursery, the happier the baby. The more stimulated. I think I was reading a bunch of quotes from people
Starting point is 00:54:01 who think that like, you know, if your baby's in like a calm beige environment that they might just be calm and beige and listen to Mozart happily. But no babies like our babies as they've always been throughout time. And now it's really. And they require like stimulation. It's really like beige is everywhere. Market research shows that beige is picking up.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Baby gap has a designated beige section. A new line from walmart easy peasy includes a lot of beige too according to etsy searches for beige kid clothes jumped 67 in the past 12 months compared with the previous period uh all right well let's let's test your beige meter like how beige is harry's room it's like so i want to talk about my experience with beige and maybe someone uh a tiktoker said it seems to be marketing this fantasy that if I buy neutrals my children will also be neutral calm and quiet but a pediatric psychologist said it's important to expose kids to learning colors and to help them with their visual perception having variety is important
Starting point is 00:55:00 for brain development so I think this is so interesting because so many of the like aesthetic nurseries that I see like really have so much beige and I actually buy a decent amount of beige for Harry. I feel like it's my, it's the neutral that I go to in the same way when I'm looking for myself, I would buy like black or pink. Like for Harry, I'm like, I want beige paper and beige chandelier, beige, uh,
Starting point is 00:55:25 rocking chair, beige curtains. And now I'm like, Oh my God, it's such a, it's a scheme. And I'm just like another millennial mom who's falling into the trap. No, you're not because,
Starting point is 00:55:35 because you're not letting it like infiltrate. Harry spends like his whole day in that playpen in the living room. That is literally your price toys. Right? So the thing is, yes, I try to bring more beige into our world but I'm like an inherently colorful person and even though I try
Starting point is 00:55:52 to I'm trying to create like a neutral vibe in my house like everything winds up colorful so his nursery is actually not I don't I actually can't think of a single beige item that's in there try as I may you know yeah no like the big main pieces like the rocking chair the rug the changing table in the crib are like white beige like normal but you got a big blue wallpaper you got toys everywhere it's beautiful it's beautiful but now I'm going to be aware of the fact that I was like subliminally being a follower of this like sad beige toys for sad beige children trend no that's actually so true like now that I think about it everyone I see on Instagram has like crazy ass like but you know I
Starting point is 00:56:33 went to Brian's nursery and his is like it's like jungle themed it's actually now that I think about it it's a perfect combination of like being really pretty and aesthetic but like hella colorful because it's jungle themed so like there's lion there's like safari wallpaper like animals everywhere a chalkboard and I did do quite a colorful um drawing so it actually it's perfect yeah so I would just say like this this was a wake-up call for me thankfully I'm not so I hadn't fallen so deep into the sad beige trend but I would have I would have if no one like called out that i'm just being like marketed to as a millennial mom who's like just looking for a calm environment for myself but that's not like what baby needs no and what baby needs greater than what you need yeah especially in their room like
Starting point is 00:57:16 go make your own sad beige right right and your room these days is like hell with your new wallpaper while harry is literally dying for some stimulation some colors no he comes in my room and looks at my wallpaper and he's like oh my gosh i need so i i actually am not done with his room and there will be no more beige in there. Good to know. I'm going full primary colors, kids, fun, playroom. I think this was the first time that you told me about an internet trend. And look it up.
