Good morning, Millennials, and welcome back to the Toast. Happy Thursday. Hey, Jax. How you doing? I'm doing good because you were just gracing us with a performance. I was singing. I said you should save it for the show because it was sounding so good because I was telling Stry Sands right here how much I love him.

Oh, my man, I love you so. You'll never know. You'll never know. And that is actually one of my new favorite songs. I have a repertoire of four or five songs that I know I can sing well, like karaoke. And that one has recently made its way into the top five. My Man from the screen version of Funny Girl. Unfortunately, not the stage version.

And it's such a good song. I actually sing it to Harry quite a bit because he's my man. I love him so. He'll never know. All my life is just a spare, but I don't care. When he takes me in his arms, the world is bright. All right. That's literally how I feel about Harry.

That's beautiful. Oh, my God. And the brethren, of course. Of course. Me and Harry had such a day yesterday. It's such a pleasure to be in the same house as him. It's like, you really don't mind getting up in the morning. Yeah.

Cause you know, there's like a big face waiting for you. It's like getting out of bed is tough about brushing your teeth, walking down the hall. But the minute you get in there, all is right. Like, by the way, which is something I would never do in my own house. I am like up in Harry's room before I brush my teeth and before I check my phone. Yeah, before I check my phone, sometimes I have to pee, but I usually try and brush my teeth because then once I'm in there, like, I don't know the next time I'm going back to my room and, like,

what if I want to have breakfast? It was just an amazing day being in the same house. There's an order to things. In the same house as Harry. Like, it's not, I feel like maybe it's something, like, you might take for granted because you, like, live here. But to be not only, like, in the same house as his. Like it's not, I feel like maybe it's something like you might take for granted because you like live here, but to be not only like in the same house, his next door neighbor, it's such a privilege. Yeah. And I don't even mind when he wakes me up, you know, it's a delight. Um, I was though like tossing and turning all night. I just, my mind was elsewhere

because we right before bed decided to do the dumbest thing ever and watch the first and last episodes of Catching Kelsey, the reality show starring Super Bowl hopeful Travis Kelsey. I had never seen it. Jackie was like, it's really good. When I tell you, I bought the whole season for $13. I had every intention to, like, watch it. It was so dumb. Like, it wasn't bad.

I was just, like, actively losing brain cells. And the girls were moronic. Travis was moronic. Like it was so, it was honestly atrocious. And I really did. I like, I wanted to see who won and I watched the first episode and then we watched the second episode and I just skipped to the end. I was shocked.

Like last episode, we were like, we'll watch the first and then she didn't want to watch more. I was like, okay, but we have to watch the last. You turn on the last. She couldn't even watch that. So we just skipped to the last five minutes and she was genuinely shocked as he won even when I came in you were watching the first episode and I was looking and I remember a lot of the people and I couldn't I didn't see the person who won I was like am I misremembering it was literally 20 minutes into

the episode that they even showed her like I know throughout the season she became more relevant especially in like house drama but like there were 20 girls there and we did not see her for 20 minutes. No. And like the show was obviously like mirroring The Bachelor in a lot of ways because I think a lot of, you know, dating shows did at the time. And the way the show just made no sense. I'm glad I didn't waste my time because we literally watched an episode where Travis singled out a girl and said she was the hottest girl in the house, like 100 percent his type.

There was nobody more hot. And she went home the first episode and I think of course maybe not the hottest girl wins because like you develop connections but the hottest girl makes it past week one like it just lacked logic it was it was literally like one of the dumbest things I'd ever seen and I got a lot of messages when I posted that we were watching it of people who like you know um like new girls going on the show they said it was so fraudulent like Travis was like hooking up with a bunch of the girls. Like it was not real. It was completely scripted. Like it was so fake. So honestly, if I had wasted, there were seven episodes, seven hours, actually eight, because the last episode was two hours. If I had wasted eight hours, I would have been so annoyed. But now I feel like I got the gist of the show. And

now when we reference it literally every day on the show, I feel like I know a little bit of what I'm talking about. Yeah, you are definitely missing out. It's definitely like it was a cultural shift for sure. No, it wasn't. It actually wasn't. I watched it when it aired and it was really, it was something special. He's a cutie. He's a cutie.

The brother made an appearance. The brother is on the show too. So you get a sense of like their personalities. Plus because of their podcast, you also get a sense. There's a story about them today okay their podcast is number one overall in the app store deservedly so no I love this moment for podcasting yeah because all we have is this moment and for brethren yeah and for families yeah and I'm glad that they're not letting this really come between them yeah and we can all just

like appreciate the moment of the Kelsey bowl yeah the Kelsey bowl um also I guess we'll talk about them when we talk about them but like Jason's kind of like coming up as the superior brother let's let's wait okay because I have thoughts too um but today's also just like a fabulous special episode because of course you girls are back together together again in front of the flamingos yada yada brother in our in studio but we have a very special interview so I was like being really annoying when I was in LA like secret interview secret project the first one was obviously Jay Shetty and now the second one is airing it is Taylor Lautner and his wife Taylor Lautner um they just launched a podcast so they wanted to come on talk about their podcast

of course like I had to go deep on um the twilight of it all and honestly I was so obsessed with talking about twilight because people are like, please tell me you asked me about like back to December. When I tell you, I forgot like, and I feel bad. And like, I was like kind of annoyed at myself last night. I'm like, how did I literally forget? And I had a question, like a really funny question, the way I would phrase it. Like I had it rehearsed in my mind. I was going to be like, Taylor, do you sleep amazing at night? And he's going to be like, I guess. And what do you mean? Let's role play.

OK. It's OK. Sounds like you're about to go into an ad. But I know what you're going to say. No, it's not an ad. No, I'm saying that sounds like what you're about to say. OK. Taylor, do you sleep amazing at night?

I'm just curious. Actually, I have sleep apnea. Oh, I just figured you would sleep so restfully, unlike the other men in Hollywood who are just quaking every night, wondering what songs from the vault are going to come out and knowing if there's one about you it's probably so nice and I totally forgot to talk about Taylor like I'm so dumb but I feel really good about the interview because I focus a lot on Twilight and like that's for me like that's that actually was a cultural global seismic shift of course so we talked about that we talked about like his journey with mental health,

his like come up and stiff fame, shark boy and lava girl. I forget, like he was in so many iconic things, like cheaper by the dozen too. He was in like that rival family with Eugene Levy and, um, Valentine's day.

Like he really has this like illustrious career and it was a really good interview. So if you're watching on YouTube, it'll be at the end of this video. If you're watching as a podcast, it'll be at the end of the podcast and I hope you enjoy it. They're so sweet. And they just got married. That's like a show you reference all the time. And I watched the first episode and like, I don't, it's not one of my personal references. You know what I mean? You're missing

out. And one day you'll binge it and you'll say coulda, shoulda, woulda. Yeah. It's so good. And they keep saying it's coming back I feel like that's one of the things like they're always saying like the Hilary Duff reboot I mean the Lizzie McGuire reboot no but that was being rebooted and then it ended like there was action there it's like Legally Blonde 4 but it is happening right but no like Scream Queens like no one's heard anything since someone said it was coming back yeah um so it's just not like a reference in my portfolio of references. You're missing out.

I know. Like, everyone's there. I know. Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell. Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande. Nick Jonas, Lea Michele, Kirstie Alley, Jerry O'Connell. Isn't Kiki Palmer in it?

Yeah. Shit. Now, like, that's something. That'll get me to watch it. Yeah. You need to get Kiki Palmer on the toast. Do your thing. I know, but she's, like, and she's at the final.

It'll be a while. You'll have to wait. Don't put the ask out until she's back from her maternity leave. So we've got a great show. The stories are, you said, light. They're light. They're very morning show. We're such a morning.

We're going back to our roots. Mourning show. The morning toast. Yeah, we're going back to our roots. Mourning show. The Mourning Toast. Yeah. We're going back to our roost. When we rebranded, we should have went from the Mourning Toast to the Mourning Toast. I totally agree. How about we change one letter? One letter.

Honestly, how did we not think of that? Because we're stupid. We're so dumb. And I think we're getting dumber. You know? No. It's like we're dumb and we're getting dumber but we're also smart and we're getting smarter so fucking true like honestly nobody is smarter than us literally but

nobody's also dumber than us too literally no like compared to how dumb some people are we're not that dumb that's true that's true but I feel like unless you really feel like so dumb and so smart at all times like you're not living yeah no. No, that's like a famous quote, like from a philosopher, like, like dumb people, like intelligent people question their thinking all the time. Okay. So dumb people are like, yeah, I'm right. So true. That's not the exact quote, but that's the takeaway.

Don't say that. Don't forget the accent. Yeah. I'm always right. No, it's true. Like dumb people are always wrong, which is fine. But they feel so right. It's okay to be wrong, but it's like they're so indignant in their wrong-

They don't question their premises. Intelligent people are constantly questioning whether or not they're right. It's so important to constantly be asking questions. Which we are. I'm questioning everything. Everything. Everything. Everything.

The $40 is still sitting there but i have a plan for it today because we're going to target okay and if you like we're gonna get lunch that could be our lunch we're gonna put it to work yeah can't wait i'm ready for lunch i'm so early i had my breakfast earlier than usual this morning and so now i'm ready for lunch there's really not a day that goes by where i don't wake up and like and i'm not immediately thinking about lunch yeah because I don't really eat breakfast I've started eating like a nice like balanced breakfast of just like some yogurt granola and fruit which is really tasty not very filling no and I've been watching Ginny and George I'm about to finish the first season and they have

like a breakfast every morning like with like a set table and like whatever it is like eggs but it's like there's a set table like a pitcher of juice And it really looks so nice You know what Maybe this weekend We'll do one Big breakfast Breakfast Morning

Because my friends are coming Yeah It's going to be like A really poppin weekend So we'll make like eggs Maybe some French toast Pancakes

We'll have to get All the ingredients When we go to the store today At Target Yeah No I'm Look That's something

Definitely like I want For my future I feel like you know When your kids start Going to school Like you have to have Like a breakfast In the morning So that's when you start Implement I want for my future. I feel like, you know, when your kids start going to school, like, you have to have, like, a breakfast in the morning. So that's when you start implementing, like, a. But still, it's like an Eggo.

Still, but it's something. Yeah, but it's not, you know, fresh made eggs and biscuits. I would prefer an Eggo over a fresh made egg. No, eggs are so good. If you can get them. In this economy. If you can get them. I mean, it's such a privilege.

And you saw that egg fire. What? Like, a farm, an egg farm went up in flames mysteriously, 100,000 chickens. Oh my God, that's terrible. Mysteriously? Mysteriously. Accidentally. Hmm.

Hmm. Makes you think. No such thing as an accident. You know what I'm saying? Well, cool. Should we dive in? I think so brush strice said he's ready even though he's been a traitor ready for what ready for the fast five stories that he needs to know before he wakes up and has his morning kibble today's episode is brought to you by clinique clinique's multivitamin

I like have a visible difference in my skin when I take my makeup off.

It's not like my makeup has been through battle all day and my skin has been through battle all day and now I'm finally taking it off. It's like actively working to just mellow my skin out. And in as little as eight weeks, your skin appears even more toned, more radiant and smoother. Even after your makeup is removed, calling it a foundation does not do it justice.

It has a lightweight texture, a 24 hour color true wear. It is oil free, waterproof, sweat and humidity resistant.

As they should Cause yesterday or today Today is Groundhog's Day 2023 And Pucks a tawny fill predicted Six more weeks of winter weather Does he ever not? Like my god

He's so negative So unpopular And it's like Pucks If you just said it was gonna be less No one would hold you to it No he's so negative so unpopular and it's like pucks if you just said it was gonna be less no one would hold you to it no he's so negative I don't believe in like Groundhog's Day and I feel like I'm actually having like Groundhog's Day right now because I feel like we have this conversation every single year as we do we need to acknowledge Groundhog's Day because it's just

fucking sweet no it's just a sweet tradition like all these guys dress up like colonial men and it's just fucking funny and like I can't believe it still happens I can't believe it still happens too especially after you know the kind of scandal a few years ago where Bill de Blasio actually dropped Punxsutawney and killed him and then they like covered it up at the zoo um so I hope the new mayor is like having more respect for animals yeah um and this is what I say every year and like I can never remember the answer is Groundhog Day like an East Coast thing? Is it a global thing?

Is it a nationwide thing? Like who abides by, or is it, you know what I mean? I think it's the nation. I can't imagine other countries caring about Pax Atani. Yeah. But I feel like as a nation, this is national news, People Magazine, everybody's talking about what he saw, what he didn't see.

And I know I asked this question again every year but like so it says six more weeks of winter but like on the calendar when does winter end March March 21st that's every year does Punxsutawney change that like no no no no no okay so what's the point he's a winter weather oh of winter weather okay okay okay so he's but like I just feel like if in six weeks it was still cold and he had said you know it was going to be warmer soon like we wouldn't be mad instead like today we'd be happy right and then in six weeks we'd be like oh it's cold no it's just interesting how there's really like no accountability for Punxsutawney and I think we live in like accountability culture like no I feel like that's because of the accountability

culture that's why he always says it's going to be winter weather because he doesn't want to get it wrong and piss people off. Like, I feel like I might die before he actually doesn't see his shadow, you know, or does see his shadow. It's confusing. Had he not seen his shadow in early spring would have been predicted. So he saw. Let me tell you how that makes no sense.

That makes no sense because you see your shadow in the sun. When there's sun. So I have flaw, I found flaw with the whole concept. Yeah, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration previously reported that Phil's predictions pan out just 40% of the time. So he's on par with meteorologists everywhere. Right, that's the thing. There's like really no accountability in, you know, the weather prediction. Yeah. And it's like meteorology is allegedly like this huge science.

Like it's, it's not like they're just guessing. Like they have like radar. Right. They have. And yet they're always wrong. I just find that interesting. And there's no accountability for the human. So for me, if I'm going to be holding weather people accountable, I'm going to start at the human scientist level. And then when I'm done with all of them, maybe I'll get to P holding weather people accountable, I'm going to start at the human scientist level. And then when I'm done with all of them, maybe I'll get to Puxatawney Phil. Speaking of accountability, do we have a story or can we talk about it now

that Michaela made a return? It's not a story because she didn't say anything. I know, but we need to at least talk about how this story has finally come full circle because Michaela, after like of going radio silent for a week, after the whole mascara lash we talked about it last week if you don't know what we're talking about go find the episode called lash gate um she has returned with a big nothing burger she just like went back to her regular

content she didn't feed the trolls which which like I love for her but like I did want like some drama you know like I wanted and like we like I wanted resolution like were you wearing them and also it's like it just felt a little wrong because I don't feel like she's one of those people who doesn't care about all this drama. So it just felt like it was hovering as opposed to it being someone else who's like I'm not giving this air. You know we know just basically because she shares so much. We know she's not like an unbothered queen. Like she's actually very easily bothered. So to act like this wasn't you know know, didn't faze you at all.

Like we know that's not true. Yeah. I just really, I wanted to get like a resolution. But I don't think Michaela lied. You don't? I don't think Michaela lied. I don't think people died. I actually know for a fact that nobody died.

And it's so important to remember that. Chickens died. Yeah. And we should be talking about that. Michaela didn't lie. I don't think. You think you're standing by like you think it was a filter I'm standing by that I think it was a filter therefore when she said no lash was used it wasn't a lie and she doesn't need to get into

the semantics of it but she can sleep at night knowing she's not a liar okay that's fair I mean we'll never know because she didn't tell us but whatever. So that's my prediction. Cause if she lied, she'd be like eating herself up. Yeah. I guess. And she'd feel the need to say something, you know, it's like guilty. It eats you up. Heavy is the head.

Heavy is the head. Where's the guilt. And that's probably how Punxsutawney feels. Like it's a lot of responsibility. And he's only predicted in early spring, 20 times since the tradition began in 1886. Oh, wow. It sounds like there's a flaw with the system. No, the flaw is that he doesn't want the backlash began in 1886. Oh, wow. Sounds like there's a flaw with this system.

No, the flaw is that he doesn't want the backlash of getting it wrong. So he'd rather overestimate winter and people be pleasantly surprised than be canceled. And you know what? I can relate. He's airing, kind of like Dr. Phil, just like airing on the side of caution.

Dr. Punxsutawney Phil. Dr. Punxsutawney Phil. Episode title. They're in cahoots i love talking about groundhog's day it's like one of my favorite days of the year and i'm like now i'm being transported to like this conversation we probably had the exact same conversation last year but that's the point of groundhog's day the movie the same thing happens over and over again i've actually never seen that film have you i've seen most of it i know the concept i don't know how

they break from the cycle of waking up on the same day every day. Right. Something crazy has to happen. Yeah. But I get the concept is they wake up every morning and it keeps being the same day. February 2nd, Groundhog's Day. And it's just so interesting how like that movie and the concept of the movie has become just like a colloquial term. Yeah. It's like deja vu.

It's Groundhog's Day. I like that. Yeah. That's why every year we have to have this conversation. I know. We would be doing our brand a disservice. And we'd be doing Pugs to Tawny Phil. Like these guys, they get up in the morning.

So true. They put on this farce. Yeah. At least we could do is talk about it. And they've been doing it for over 200 years. It's just less than 200 years. It's just so funny to me. Like the whole concept of like, you know, everyone getting dressed up,

go to town hall, Pugs to Tawny, whatever. It really feels like something literally i'm watching jenny and george right now and scott porter our favorite you know bad actor is the mayor of this like small town it feels like this dumb thing like a small mayor would do but it's like the mayor of new york city like everyone gets involved yeah no but the mayor of new york city is not here he wasn't there no this isn't like a New York City thing it's a Pennsylvania thing and I think yeah I feel like the mayor was that like oh he's not mentioned let's search wait so so it's not a New York thing why did I think that it was because you're just like so self-involved yeah that does track but then there's also a staten island groundhog staten island chuck oh all right and that's where mayor

adams would appear but he appeared in a video message giving it wow the least tell me you don't care he's doing the least wait okay chuck that's makes me want to cry like talk about being irrelevant yeah like there's only one i feel like every every like state tries to do their own thing Chuck, that makes me want to cry. Like, talk about being irrelevant. Yeah. Like, there's only one. I feel like every state tries to do their own thing, but Puxatawney Phil is from Philadelphia. Oh. And he is the one to watch. No, he's the one.

And he's the only really, you know, groundhog I respect, if I'm being honest. He comes from a long line of Phil's. I wonder where he lives the rest of the year yeah oh okay mayor eric adams skipped groundhog's day activities to attend the funeral of an nypd officer i'm so sorry i take back everything i said back what i said respect well um sounds like you didn't miss much because it's the same thing that happens every year yeah and it was chuck chuck not phil anyways happy groundhog's

day everyone hope you're celebrating with someone you love or watching the film watching the film next up jason kelsey says his pregnant wife kylie is bringing her ob-gyn to the game as a super bowl guest as she is 38 weeks pregnant oh to be rich philadelphia eagle center jason kelsey and his family are ready for what's being dubbed the Kelsey Bowl. Speaking with his brother Travis on their podcast, the two discussed having their family members at the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Eagles will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jason asked, are mom and dad sitting on your sideline? Are they sitting on my sideline? Travis said, we do have to figure that out because we each get a certain amount of tickets and I feel like you're going to have more of a family oriented thing. Who said that? Travis. Right, becauseason has like kids and stuff yeah but like but then jason said i'm also bringing kylie's parents i'm bringing the girls like he might not have enough tickets for everyone yeah he said kylie's bringing her ob because she's going to

be 38 weeks pregnant at the game and then travis was quaking saying dude dude that could be a super kelsey bowl if she has a baby in the stadium. No, not in the stadium. It's officially scripted. Travis said, we're in the Matrix. There's no fucking way. I'm obsessed with these two. More so, now we can dive into this conversation, more so Jason than Travis. I feel like Travis gets all the hype because he's like the younger, cuter. Single.

Single. And I think he's like, sorry, he's not cuter. They're both really cute. But he's like the more like bachelor type. And he's like a little bit more in the spotlight. Yeah. And especially like his position on the team. so I feel like we're all like Travis oh and he happens to have a brother Jason then you like get to know them and it's like Jason's the star yeah Jason's

the star Jason's the star he's certainly the star of the podcast oh yeah he's the one keeping it on the tracks he's kind of like you totally he's you and like I'm Travis and everyone's like oh it's like you know Travis like we all know him but then like you watch Totally. He's you and, like, I'm Travis. And everyone's like, oh, it's like, you know, Travis, like, we all know him. But then, like, you watch and you're like, Travis is annoying and, like, fat. No, I'm kidding. No, but it's like if you, like, had a reality show, like, I would just come and support and give you good advice. No, but then, like, if we had a podcast, which we do, people would come to the podcast and be like, wait, Jackie's the star of this show. Yeah, she's got something to say. Yeah, I actually, I see a lot of myself, unfortunately, in Travis.

Yeah. But I love that for us. Travis is such a lovable dear. He is. But like, I'm personally like, I'm obsessed with Jason. Like, I love that his wife is still coming no matter what with the OB. Hopefully she just. How is she going to fly?

That's what I was thinking. But I don't know if you can't fly as a pregnant woman after seven months because it's not good for the baby or because you could potentially go into labor. It's because of the pressure. Cabin pressure could cause like labor. Maybe she'll take like an RV over the course of a week, you know? She'd have to start now. It's a long drive from Philadelphia.

It's not like it's in New York. It's in Arizona. Maybe if I listen to the whole episode, I'll get the deets on how she's getting there. Yeah, I'm curious about that too. Maybe they just fly really low. Yeah, yeah. But she's bringing the OB. She could give birth on the plane but it's not ideal no not even close but like I love that for her yeah I hope she gives birth on Super Bowl night after when the game is done so it's actually I think people are always surprised to learn like when

you're you know even like the wife of a player it's like really hard to get tickets for you and your family I think you get like literally four. That's why I really feel like a brand needs to enter here and sponsor a box like- For the Kelsey. For the Kelsey family. Yeah, bring in, you know, some of the systems might needed if she did go into labor. Right.

And like just kind of have like a Kelsey cam. Yeah. Streaming on Twitter or like Periscope, you know? A brand really needs to get involved, like buy a box for the entire Kelsey family and just like make them, you know, dance for us. Yeah, I totally agree. They're missing an opportunity.

Oh, for sure. I'm sure someone's working on it. And if they're not, like, please, like, if you're listening and you like work at a brand, like, don't be dumb. It should be like Heinz, like an iconic Bud Light, like an iconic Super Bowl, Doritos. Yeah.

Doritos Cam. Kelsey Cam brought to you by Doritos everyone is talking about this yeah and like for a brand to not get involved I wonder if there's like they could sponsor the family yeah I wonder if there's like regulations like you can't sponsor a player but the family yeah and also like it's the Kelsey Bowl this has never happened before we'll go out the window it's unprecedented we'll go out like, it's the Kelsey Bowl. This has never happened before. Rules go out the window. It's unprecedented. Rules go out the window. It's unprecedented. But we are starting to see some like Super Bowl content.

Yeah, so that's our next story. Which is so, I'm obsessed. A Super Bowl commercial from Bud Light featuring Miles Teller and Kelly Teller. They are giving a sneak peek at their home life in the new Super Bowl ad for Bud Light where they are on hold with customer service. Miles cracks open the Bud Lights and they make it they make the most of it they make the most of 96 minutes on hold dancing to hold music oh excuse me I have to sneeze hold on thank you bless you I do feel like this was really good marketing because I this was definitely the year of Miles Teller but it was

also like the year of Miles Teller and his wife like the Taylor Swift music video Miles Teller going so viral on TikTok and then Kelly stepping in and being like move over bitches like yeah just he's married he's married you know it really was the year of the Tellers so this is such like smart marketing I loved it and the concept of the commercial marketing I think it's marketing the concept of the commercial is cute and stuff but just like the idea that somebody partnered with them genius genius. Genius. Huge. Makes me want to bud light. Desperately.

Yeah, and their dog is in the commercial too. So this Brethren felt represented. It was beautiful for everyone. You love to see Brethren representation. Yeah. And also like Miles Hiller's dance moves have like had a moment this year, so we got more dancing from him.

It just reminds me of his role in Footloose, which should not be overlooked. Jackie, when he was doing like that little footwork in the commercial, I thought the same thing. And he definitely learned that when he was on the set of Footloose and the little girls were teaching him how to dance. He definitely did. And it's like so funny that his role in that film is that he doesn't know how to dance

when it's like he's a dancer. Known for being a dancer now. Yeah. Yeah. He's a professional dancer. The commercial really should have been set to. What's that song? Gotta, gotta, gotta loose. No, no. The one one where he from the montage where he learns how to dance about let's hear it for the boy do do do do do do do do do

do do let's hear it for the boy let's give the boy a hand let's hear it for my baby you know you gotta understand it's hard to hit those oh baby he's no romeo but he's my love in one man show oh oh whoa let's hear it for the bros such a good song that's what the commercial should have been too yeah i do feel like super bowl commercials have been falling off recently like it used to be that's what you watch for maybe that's what i watch for and now like i'm just so into the football it's like i'll use the commercial break to use the restroom yeah we've kind of like evolved we have evolved no but i do feel like they've been really shitty. Cringe. Cringe, stupid.

Trying so hard. And it doesn't need to be like that. You don't need to like, you know, try and solve the world's problems. Like, no, just sell your chips. And no, it's just like be funny or creative. I think like now the goal for brands is like either to have the most celebrities per capita, like just in your commercial, or you need to make us cry. And it's like, why? Just be funny and like sell your product. They just have like so many boxes they're trying to check yeah just like make the

chips look tasty no no and like do it in a funny way it doesn't have to be funny it could just be like smart smart tasty whatever and if you want to have a celebrity sure but it's like literally every frame it's like wait it's the tiktoker oh now it's the pro athlete like enough yeah i and you know what? I feel like so many brands when they invest in lay people, Jake from State Farm. Uh-huh. Flo. So true.

All state. Iconic. All state. That guy is literally America's sweetheart. Gecko. The Gecko. I mean, he's not even a person. These are iconic things as opposed to just like another somebody who's going to sell

himself for something else next year. You know what's a great commercial that like it's been around for a while now that has different versions. I first thought it was annoying, but now I think it's funny. I think it's State Farm or Progressive. Progressive helps you stop you from becoming your parents. And they've like, the dad's going into Lowe's, you know? Yeah, yeah.

It's cute. I like that one. Yeah. There's a lot of good stuff out there. Invest in lay people. Invest in lay people. Well, we've got a lot to offer. Are we lay people. Invest in lay people. We've got a lot to offer. Are we lay people?

Invest in us. Well, we're like standing on the border between lay people and zealous. We're semi-lay. We're a sleigh. We're sleigh people. Yeah, that's so true. Are you ready for our next story? Some legal news.

Oh, yeah. Tom Girardi has been indicted for allegedly embezzling more than $15 million from clients. A grand jury has... I feel like it was more. It's hard to nail down. So, like, they found 15. Okay. A grand jury has indicted Tom Girardi

for allegedly embezzling more than $15 million from his clients. The Department of Justice announced Wednesday the disgraced attorney was charged with five counts of wire fraud according to a copy of the indictment obtained by Page Six. Girardi and Christopher Kazuo Kamen,

the former controller and chief financial officer of the law firm Girardi-Keese, are accused of lying to their clients in order to misappropriate settlement funds. The attorney and his former CFO allegedly used the client's winnings to fund payroll, other client settlement funds that have previously been misappropriated, and personal expenses. Yikes. I mean, this does feel like a moot point because we know Tom is not. He wasn't charged yet.

What have we been talking about? No. And I feel like Erica was charged, but Tom is also not fit to stand trial. So like, I don't think any of this, perhaps the other person, but not Tom. Yeah. He's like in a living facility. He has dementia. He's like literally 90 pounds. Yeah. People like that. No matter. He's in a living facility he has dementia he's like literally 90 pounds yeah

people like that no matter he's in a conservatorship right like i think no matter their crimes unless i feel like the only people which i love who they let you know stand trial are like underground nazis like they those fuckers still stand trial no matter how frail they are but i feel like you know especially for a financial crime, it's terrible. Yeah. But I don't think this will, this has any legs. Or that justice will be really served. For Tom, maybe the other guy.

Maybe the other guy. And who is Keys? Where is Keys? Right. Was he involved or did he really like not know? And Girardi like took the whole thing down. I mean, if we're going to say Erica knew, then Keys fucking knew. Such a good point. such a good point such

a good point keith with his name on the door doesn't know where payroll's coming from although i do you know now really believe erica did not know yeah yeah what you don't no no no i hadn't thought about my position in a while but i i believe that is a very distinct possibility as well. Yeah. Just plausible deniability. Yeah. I mean, Tom wouldn't even like let her like come to work events with him.

She wasn't like coming to the office and looking through the books. Yeah. It just like, it was a, I had needed to come to terms with the fact that their marriage wasn't what I thought it was. Like I really, all these years in the way that she like described, especially in her book, like really as much as of a marriage of equals as it could have been given their situations.

And so it was more so realizing like, oh no, she was just like in a marriage with like a nasty old guy who was controlling and she made it look like something that it wasn't. Right. Correct. So coming to terms with that. That's what I've been coming to terms with. I'm so glad you've been working on that. I didn't know you were working through all of that. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot that I was working on that because.

Because you're constantly working on so many things. The Redheads. The Chickens. The Chickens. Yeah. And Beverly Hills hasn't been on in a while. So I forgot where I stood. But that is where.

It's really crazy. Like I have. And I know you too. Like I don't watch Bravo. I will watch Beverly Hills. I turned on Real Housewives of Miami the other day because I like I'm into it when I watch it but I was watching too slowly like too many pauses and they are still in Key West and they're about to see a shaman and there's just no way I'm getting

through that yeah I don't actually don't really consider Real Housewives of Miami Bravo because it's on Peacock um and like at one point like maybe I will finish the season but like my life no longer revolves around Salt Lake City Potomac Beverly Hills New York I think and it depends what I see when I when it comes back but I might still watch Beverly Hills but I'm done with everything else yeah even though there's like stuff going on in Potomac because I like follow housewives twitter that like actually seems interesting in the sense that you know Robin Dixon who's tortured us over the last few years with her storyline being just like me and Juan getting married me and Juan affair me and Juan this me and Juan that um apparently she got married like

off camera and like surprised everyone it's like oh we had to sit through the tortures we don't even get to see the wedding and then she made a Patreon episode talking about an affair that Juan had and it's like that all seems like interesting stuff for the reality show that you're on you know if only we got it's like that's like actually rude like taking advantage of people's time like that so people are really mad at robin yeah yeah i don't really know if i could get interested in robin no yeah no but i like i that's like the extent of my knowledge i have no idea what's going on people are freaking about it but um i'm out i'm out off the hamster wheel and it feels yes that's exactly what it is, a hamster wheel. I'm free to do what I want any old time.

I really am. Like, it feels good. I didn't even realize it. Mm-hmm. It feels good. Freeing. And that was like Roni Legacy, probably not happening. I'm really free.

Yeah. Our fifth and final story, are you ready? It's a little more reality TV show news, though. Sure. So maybe, you know, you won't be free much longer. So true. Sylvester Stallone's a little more reality TV show news, though. Sure. So maybe, you know, you won't be free much longer. So true. Sylvester Stallone's reality show. I'll be free.

The Family Stallone, which is a good title. Yeah. Like the Family Stone. The Family Stallone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Will premiere this spring on Paramount+. Oh, this gave me like E vibes. Yeah. But E doesn't invest in anything anymore they're just like

waiting for someone to rescue them no e invests in people for like a few months and then you never hear about the show again yeah sylvester stallone is gearing up to share a whole new side of himself on thursday paramount plus and announced that the new eight-part docuseries the family stallone starring him and his wife and his daughters will premiere this spring also his show that he's on right now is on Paramount Plus also, Tulsa King. So he's just like a Paramount Plus king. And I think he's in a Super Bowl commercial for them.

Cute. I mean, I think this family's like ripe for reality TV. I don't know if we're like still in the era of family reality TV shows. Like, I don't know. I kind of feel like even with their Kardashians, I didn't even finish the second season. Like, I don't know. I kind of feel like even with their Kardashians, like I don't, I didn't even finish the second season. Like I do feel like format wise,

this might be a little dated, but I do think this family is perfect for it. It's worth a shot for sure. And I forget what else. It reminds me of like Bradshaw Bunch. Yeah. Like really pretty, cool cool kids and the recent drama about like him and his wife getting divorced and now they're not getting divorced like they're

they're well enough to do a show together like no interest on yeah it makes me think it was like you know for the no it kind of makes me think that no I don't think so because like why would we care you know no no I don't think it was for press. I don't know. Makes you think. But I'm sure they'll be discussing it on their reality show. But the daughters. I love a reality show that's now called the docuseries. I know. Like, I love that rebrand.

Yeah. But the daughters are, like, super cute. They have a podcast. They're, like, young Hollywood girlies. Yeah. So. They're, like, close in age. And they look alike.

And that bodes well. And they're, like, perfect for reality tv so i think it'll be good yeah um strice do you want a reality show i think kind of if i could speak for him really i think he thinks you know the format is like a little dated and he would like to do something a little bit more you know new media new age something that kind of nobody else has done before like like a podcast do you want a podcast if Bryce had a podcast what would he say oh he would talk about his passions which are passionate about a couple things that have just they completely to overtake his life he's passionate about scratchies and the healing power of scratchies and I know that's what he

would want to share with everyone yeah and just maybe like he would travel to different countries and show people the power of scratches and how to scratch best yeah yeah this is like some people he's like no offense like I love my father but his nails are not too short cut out for scratchies like don't bother yeah or maybe we could build like a scratchy attachment right maybe like joy mangano wants to get involved that's such a joy mangano product literally I've been thinking about joy mangano you said her name yesterday because of this book we read for the redheads the magnificent lives of marjorie poe she was kind of like an inventress and just has like all of these things that she's credited for

that we use in everyday life mostly food tings uh and that's so joy so joy what is joy up to what was the last joy product i'm sure she put one out yesterday let's look it up no joy did invent like the slimline hanger right like the velvet yeah no it's like everything in your house like joy what was like the product from the film it was a mop that you ring out that rung itself it was like a self-reinforcing mop which she obviously didn't predict swiffer sweepers coming no no because that. But I still think like she made bank on the OG product. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's see. She has a Miracle Mop, Huggable Hangers, Forever Fragrant,

Home Odor Neutralizers, a Close It All Luggage System, Performance Platforms, a shoe, Comfort & Joy Textiles, Shades Readers, a line of reading glasses. So now she's just like a QVC queen, like making lines of everything. But her first like, and kind of hallmark invention was the mop. The self-ringing mop. Yes. Yeah.

That movie's so good. It is so good. Did Jennifer Lawrence win the Oscar for that? Like she was incredible. I don't think she did. I don't think she did either. That's like definitely some of her best work. She won for Silver Liningsings which was great too but

i think joy was better yeah joy's so good i didn't love silver linings but you know i know you didn't i liked it a lot so random it was like a movie about question mark but it was cool oh my god you're right yeah it was actually like i think underlying like a story about a man with a severe gambling problem but like they never got into that. They gambled? The dad is a bookie. Oh, I thought Bradley Cooper.

No, sorry. I don't think the dad's the bookie. The dad has a bookie. And like, he literally is like every Sunday betting. And it's like, we're all focusing on like Bradley Cooper's problems.

And he definitely has problems. And the dance. The dance question mark. Yeah. No, the movie is like a, definitely like a, a hodgepodge of stuff.

Yeah. Like if you ask me, like Claudia. Actually, I would love to see what the one-liner about Silver Linings Playbook is. I'll tell you. What is the description? Because it's quite literally a movie about nothing. Silver Linings Playbook on Google. After losing his job and wife and spending time in a mental institution,

Pat Solitano winds up living with his parents. He wants to rebuild his life and reunite with his wife, but his parents would be happy if he just shared their obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles. Things get complicated when Pat meets Tiffany, who offers to help him reconnect with his wife if he will do something very important for her in exchange. I mean, that does really sum up what the movie's about,

but again, it doesn't say what this movie's about. Right, and what's the moral of the story? What's the... The moral of the story is sometimes what you're looking for is right in front of you. Yes. That's what the moral of the story is. That's always a good moral.

Like all he wanted was like his wife because he wanted like family and stability and love. But he literally had that with Jennifer Lawrence and in his own home. But he was just like too obsessed with his ex-wife to see it. Yeah. That's what the movie's about. I think it was a book first.

I could see that being like a better plot for a book where like nothing happens. That's not what Rome was about. We sat down for a movie. I want a real movie. Yeah, and that's why you should watch Joy. Yeah. To bring the point back home.

For some joy. Well, what's so delightful about today's episode is that it's far from over. We have coming up next our interview with Taylor Lautner. I hope you guys enjoy it. And his wife, Taylor, the Taylor Lautners. interview with Taylor Lautner. I hope you guys enjoy it. And his wife, Taylor, the Taylor Lautners. They're both named Taylor.

I hope you enjoy it. It's, you know, if you're a TwiHard, you're really going to love it. And it is brought to you by Canopy. For a long time, I've been using a humidifier for my skin, my sleep and my overall wellness. But the problem is that traditional models

are notorious for being ugly and impossible to maintain. Let's talk about that. Well, I was married to a man who would literally, he's obsessed with humidifiers. I didn't really get it. And he would pick up the ugliest ones from the side of the road, but the uglier, the better they make. They're disgusting. They get moldy. They make like the weirdest sounds at night and they don't actually do like work. And so I was like against humidifiers. Like Ben used to want to bring one with us when we traveled. I'm like, no, they're it's literally placebo and then I got the canopy one I think I was influenced the first time

I got it from Lauren Bostic and I understood like the hype around and I didn't even realize like my whole life I've been waking up with like the driest nose like this like sore throat because like there was no moisture in my esophageal area um and the canopy humidifier is game changing.

married but they didn't change it but I do and they chose not to change their names but you guys went for it we did let's talk about that we did go for it I we've talked about it a lot before we got married but I was just like I what do you want to do and she's like I don't know and then I was like well I whatever you want to do I'm fine with and she's like well I mean before I met you I was always planning on taking whoever I married's last name so I don't know why it would change that that's fair I mean we know why it would and so when you did the hard launch on instagram i was shook because i was like how are we going to do this the username taylor lotner

already is taken yeah so you have a tay lotner and i think for this the purpose of this interview just to keep things cut and clear i will be calling you tay tay and taylor yeah we also do boy tay girl tay if that oh that's cute we started with like tay and taylor because we thought that would like simplify things and honestly all of our friends just started calling us boy tay and girl tay that actually is super helpful but you guys don't have nicknames like my other friends taylor and taylor who i told you about uh one of them goes by teddy teddy yeah which is helpful okay no well before we were married i went by tay dome and that was always but not that we are yeah one that's i do also like consider you tay dome yeah like just because instagram is like

my life yeah i'm gonna call you tay dome i don't know if that'll ever change yeah do you miss your last name i think parts of it yeah maybe i missed i don't know your last name yeah it's a great last name yeah but i mean i feel like it doesn't feel that weird saying my new name because it's his name. Because it already exists. Because I've been saying that name. Yeah. So it doesn't really.

I've been saying that name for five years. Yeah. And now it's just weird referring to it as yourself. I know. It is. And it's also like the legacy of Taylor Lautner. Like you're taking on a big name. I am.

And I know you're like a Twilight girly, which is like really why we connected. And we also connected because we were both on the right side of history being team edward yeah and i wanted to ask you taylor like how that feels like even your wife the person who's supposed to love you most in this world was team edward yeah see i'm fine with it because one i feel like I've converted her. You know what? I think you did. Yes. Yeah. But if I'm being honest, so I hadn't seen the movies. And like, this is a scoop right now. I've never said this. And I feel like I'm going to get like a little bit of hate.

I'll always have Jacob's back. A hundred percent. But I haven't seen the movies or I hadn't in like almost 10 years. And it was like a year ago and we were in a hotel it was actually i was getting off of work and i was coming home from the hospital and he was in the hotel room watching twilight by himself the fact that you would like have that experience without me is actually hurtful but continue i'll invite you over next time please it was one of like the e like they replay it all the time literally five of them in a row yeah and i was so bored at this hotel clearly she's at work i'm like what am

i gonna do and i was scrolling through and like new moon was on and i was like yeah why not i hadn't seen it in like 10 years oh my god and i watched like new moon eclipse and maybe like the first half of the first Breaking Dawn. Back to back, just in bed by myself. Iconic. And as I was watching it, I was like, I kind of get it. Jacob's a little annoying. A little problematic.

I love Jacob and his heart, but he's a little annoying. Okay. You know what? We stan growth and evolution. And that's huge of you to say yeah thank you I appreciate that no thank you my heart is beating out of my chest right now you know what I really I can't even um like put into words like the impact Twilight actually had on me like I always tell everyone I'm like a twihard and I mean it in like a serious way like I think those were

some of the best movies ever made and like when I tell you like brought me and my family together me and my sisters loved it like it really really was, it was, it still is. Like it is everything. It was so good. And I'm curious if like the discourse, like nationally being like team Edward, team Jacob, like affected you at all? Cause it's like toxic masculinity thing.

Like putting two people against each other. I'm sure you guys actually were friends at the time. Like, did that get to you at all? I feel like I'd be lying if I said no right it's yeah I don't and I was so young like I was I was 16 when Twilight came out 17 for New Moon and Eclipse um I finished the franchise by the time I was 19 that's so crazy so. So, yeah, I was so young. And, yeah, I do feel like it was very strange, you know, traveling the world and being in different cities and having, like, thousands of screaming fans either take your side or the other guy's side. Right. And, like, we're a team.

Yeah. Like, we're both just trying to make the best, you know, movies. Right. And like we're a team. Yeah. Like we're both just trying to make the best, you know, movies. But it, yeah, it was a little bizarre, the like competitiveness. Yeah. And there wasn't a competitiveness between me and Rob.

In real life. But having that constant reminder definitely. It's toxic. Yeah. I think it definitely had an impact. And I know you guys are really into mental health and like vocal about it. And I'm curious because I feel like a lot of that comes from you. Tay, girl Tay, were you as in tune with your mental health before you met your wife?

Absolutely not. Really? No. I feel like she like took it out of me. Oh, that's so nice. Like I think I was dealing with stuff that I couldn't even put my finger on like I didn't even know why and then I think it took you know meeting Tay and us just having great intentional conversation together um both ways um but having a safe place where, um, you know, I felt okay being like, yeah, you know

what? It was tough. I'm not okay. Yeah. I probably am dealing with some stuff that started when I was 16 years old. Yeah. And now I'm 30 and still haven't really addressed it. Dealt with it.

Yeah. So yeah, I'm very thankful for that. That's awesome. How did you guys meet? His sister. Oh, I love that. Tell me more. Yeah.

A mutual friend. My best friend and a girl that she went to school with, same person. I met Taylor's sister through her, and I think I'd met her like twice. And after the second time, she called Taylor and was like, hey, you need to throw a game night. I have a girl for you. Oh, I love that. I want to bring her over. And I I mean I orchestrated this game night love that my sister came and brought like five or six of her friends so it was like organic and I had no

clue that there was a setup yeah that's kind of the best way to go into it like nothing to lose yeah yes agreed for her but it took her forever to pick up on what was going on taylor's like the sweetest human ever and i know i say like him hitting on me i didn't know he was like hitting on me i'm just not good so not like just normal well also because i feel like just like guys nowadays are just so like right an elephant in the room is like you're this larger than life personality we grew up watching you how do you navigate that yeah i mean i wish i was better at it i'm just awful at like i mean it worked out yeah that's maybe you're not that bad but it you know it took like a good month and multiple hangouts for her to even realize that you were trying like I like I asked for her number and

like I'm texting her and this whole time I'm texting her every day she thinks I'm just wanting to chat with my sister's friend my sister's six years younger than me right um so it yeah it took it took some work but we got there and you guys just got married right how long has it been uh almost three months. Or two months now by the time this airs. Right, right. What was the wedding planning process like? Like me and Jackie speak on the podcast all the time how it was genuinely one of the worst times of my life.

Did you guys have a similar experience? I don't know. At times. We had hiccups. For sure. Definitely had some bumps in the road. Yeah. we had hiccups for sure definitely had some bumps in the road yeah we i feel like us being like both of us being very involved made it like better and sometimes worse totally but we liked the same

things we knew we wanted the same thing we had a small wedding we didn't disagree on anything it just was like and we we love our wedding planner he was phenomenal yeah but like we also like know what we want so i think the three of us just being very involved is helpful yeah it was good and sometimes too many cooks in the kitchen right yeah there was also times where i was like like i just didn't care like the biggest thing i knew i wanted i knew i wanted like flat like i love flowers me too yeah i knew like i wanted that but i knew the colors i wanted but no no barzilla no our wedding planner would bring up something i'd be like yeah whatever you think right right you guys are so chill couldn't be me i would hope so yeah yeah we'll go with that and so can we talk about your background a little because i feel like

i wouldn't if i'd met known you separately, I would never have paired you together. You come from totally different backgrounds. Yeah. You grew up in California, correct? But not in the way that you grew up in California. Yeah. Boy Taylor. Like you were very much acting from the time you were what, 11?

Technically eight. I started when I lived in Michigan and I was eight at the time. Moved to L.A LA when I was 11. And you really like wanted it. That was like what your passion was. I didn't see it coming. I was like, I grew up just playing like every sport possible.

And I mean, the main thing I did was extreme martial arts. Really? That's how I can flip. Oh, right. Jacob was always doing the most oh yeah yeah the most um yeah so i that was my life from like five until 13 14 was like just once a month traveling the country sometimes world for tournaments um and it was my karate instructor who lived here in LA

was actually the blue power ranger wow and he was like I think you should like give acting a shot I think you'd be good and for a while I was like I don't know about that uh and he finally convinced me uh and my family to come out during a summer, go on some auditions, see if I like it. We stayed with him. Very sweet. He got me an agent. Wow. And yeah, I didn't book anything for that whole summer. I got a couple callbacks and I was like, this is fun. Went back home to Michigan. My parents were like, what do you want to do? I was like, I want to do this. And they were super supportive. Very. Wow. Yeah. So they were like, okay, well, do you want to do? I was like, I want to do this. And they were super supportive? Very. Wow. Yeah.

So they were like, OK, well, if you want to do it, you know, we probably have to move to L.A. We can't really because we actually for almost two years did it from Michigan. Oh, that's tough. Yeah. It was really rough. I can only imagine on them. Right.

So, yeah, we eventually made the move and very, yeah, very supportive family. And how long before like how long were you here before things started to take off? Like Sharkboy and Lava Girl was the first big thing, right? It was kind of crazy. That was the first big thing. And that was on, it was less than a year before we, yeah, or after we moved out. I know. And everything changed after that?

Kind of, you know, it kind of came in waves for me. Like I did Sharkboy and then right after that i did cheaper by the dozen too um i think i was like 14 when i did that such a good movie very good movie literally like nobody talks about how that is those two movies are some of the best movies ever made i could watch that movie and star studded my My God, Steve Martin, Hilary Dove. I know. Eugene Levy. Eugene Levy, yes. I know. So good. So then after that, I kind of hit like a dry spell. And I was going to public school the whole time.

So I was going to high school on the football team. And a few years went by where I just couldn't get anything and I was like maybe that was the run for me. Sharkboy cheaper. Were you like sad like as a kid but went during that period? I think a bit I think a little bit of like oh I thought things were like going up. Right. I was 12 years old playing a superhero. Right and you got like a break and you think after that it's all easy. And now I'm getting like crumbled papers thrown at me in the back of the head right during geometry oh yeah so i think it was a little defeating um yeah and then and then the twilight audition came up the best day of my life for sure and then tell me about your background so you grew up

totally different part of california um actually ironically the same literally the same city we moved out to like my hometown oh that's so kismet i love that yeah very yeah very random hour hour and a half outside of la but you didn't know each other no we didn't yeah but then she she got to know or not like personally but she knew of my sister they're only one year apart we went to like rival high schools right so like you know you know who the other is yeah like say hi to her but yeah we weren't friends yeah yeah that's kind of how that started yeah but grew up very normal regular girl middle class family just chilling i danced my whole life that was that but yeah i never like experienced the industry aside from like the creepy guys that

come up to you at the mall that say you should get an agent or whatever that was right that's so funny um but yeah no that was very different upbringings and so now that you have collided these two very different lives i'm curious what like how do you digest all that comes with taylor you know taylor your husband the guy who walks the dogs like does hopefully the chores um but there's this whole other life that he has like yeah on the other side and i'm curious like i don't know. How do you, how does that become normal? You know, that's a good question. I feel like. Diane Sawyer.

We. We. You know, I always say that Taylor's just like, he's just like the most normal person. You are. Like life with him. Like if you're sitting at dinner with him, you're not like, he's like not i was gonna say charismatic but like you're not an eccentric like you don't he doesn't like act any suck the air out of the room you know like he's just like he's my little like golden retriever when i call him he's just like he's the nicest human like he's so normal

like you can stick him in anywhere and he's true in great um but i mean it was definitely like an adjustment like i think one of our first dates like we were getting back in the car and like paparazzi was shooting us and he like puts the sun visor down and i was like what are you doing right like you have a protocol yeah like he knows like he was like this is what you do or like even on our mini moon like we're out in the water and he's like okay look for boats they're gonna be taking photos sure enough we're literally pointing at the boat that he's like this could be a boat you know so i feel like paparazzi culture is so toxic for people's mental health especially if you have like body image issues it's awful so i cannot like i cannot

imagine being thrown into it like within a within a matter of weeks. Yeah. And I'm curious, like, what that was like. She handles it like a pro. Really? Like, it's much worse on me than her. Really? Yeah. I mean, I'd say. I think it, yeah, I think it depends.

I think the worst, obviously, the worst one was after our wedding. There was a leak somehow of our wedding and an outlet. Of our first look. So it was the first moment that I saw her in her dress. She sees me. Like, very emotional moment. And, like, that was, we were, like, waiting to post because we were doing this whole feature with Vogue.

It was stunning, by the way. Thank you. Loved that. But we woke up after the wedding like the weekend went so great everything went absolutely perfect like i literally couldn't have asked for a better weekend and we woke up like to that story and to those photos and it was like like sure take photos at the grocery store like i don't care i'll be in my sweats and sweatshirt no makeup i just don't i don't care she never cares i never seen her this upset i mean

that's like a deeply personal intimate moment yeah when that's like a moment that i've like dreamed about for so long and i i was i was i was a hot mess but but yeah it's just that that was that's probably been one of the biggest like moments in our relationship that i've been like well this sucks like yeah you know we're yeah so did you give her any sort of like intro like once you guys started getting serious did you have to like a talk about like just certain things in your life that are not normal but that are normal for you or you just sort of let it happen like the paparazziing okay diane that's a really good question. Did I? I don't know if it was like, we're dating.

Here's the protocol. No, like, here's what's going to happen if we go out. It was, I mean, at the very beginning, sometimes, like, when we were out, like, we wouldn't, like, hold hands. Or, like, that was, like, right in, towards the beginning. But we, I mean, we didn't post yeah but once we like came out publicly hard launch yeah hard launch did i like be like okay like this is some of the kind of stuff that happened i feel like i just kind of let it happen naturally and when something

happened just be like yeah that's yeah or if we're going into a situation and be like, like if we're going to like a party or to a show or to like. But before we did like a carpet, you'd be like, this is the rundown. I don't know what the freaking carpet is. Right, right. So. What'd you wear on your first carpet? This really pretty purple dress. I couldn't tell you who it's.

Oh my gosh. But I can't remember. Were you nervous? Was I? I don't she also doesn't get nervous it's so you're like built for this life girl like yeah we gotta get you in movies yeah i grew up dancing it throw me on a stage i'll talk in front of people and i'm fine like that's like that's comfortable to me um small even though i do love intentional conversations

small groups where i have to like that is harder for me than like being in front of people. I completely agree. Like a smaller room of like familiar faces. I'd rather do it in front of 50,000 people that I don't know. Yeah throw you on a stage at MSG. I completely agree. I totally agree. Like what's more awkward than talking to people you know? Like kill me. And then I'm curious if there was another moment in your guys's relationship where you had to sit down and tell him you were team Edward. Yeah did I tell you that you made a TikTok that was so fucking funny like it was the best thing I'd ever seen in my life about how you marry Jacob and you are team Edward when that trend first came out I was like oh my gosh I should do this

and I was like no I don't want to be like rude to Taylor and then like a couple months later he sent it to me and he was like you should do this I was like now that you have a there's my permission yeah done that was so so funny it was gold and now you guys are kind of encroaching on my territory you're launching a podcast but it's cool we welcome all podcasters here at Dear Media and the Toast um but you actually told me over dinner the other night that you just did your first podcast yeah interview yeah I literally did my first podcast so is this, I literally did my first podcast. So is this your second? This is my second.

So you gave someone else the exclusive. Cool. No, it's good to know where your friendships are at, you know? Take the temperature of all your friends. I thought we were close. Yeah, well, I'm super honored that you're my second. Me too. And thank you for having me. If I can't be first, I guess I'll be second.

Yeah, second to best. So why a podcast? And I love the name. name so you started you have such an interesting background you became a nurse right when the pandemic started like amazing timing love that for you um and you're really passionate about mental health yeah and you started a foundation like walk me through the whole journey of from when you started to become a nurse which you are no longer a practicing nurse take me through that yeah yeah well mental health had always been like a part of my life, but never personally affected me. I had like family members struggle with addiction. I almost lost a cousin to heroin overdose twice. I lost a good friend after high school to, um, by he had bipolar. He took his life and that,

uh, there was a lot of things that had shaped me but never personally so i start working as a nurse during covid i'm like oh okay like this is gonna be all right and then like once once we actually like started working i was like what what is happening right now um and there was just so many well i started working night shift um i did like half night shift and then i switched two days but it was just the constant cycle of like being understaffed um increasing our patient intakes instead of four patients i had five i was a new grad on my own having like to run into each room put all the ppe on the goggles the shield the gown the double gloves the masks um go into one room care for one patient run out take it all off re-put it all back on to go

into the next room do that without a charge nurse who is like the person who is like hey you need help putting a this in or doing this like you're so new yeah that's the person that like helps you and guides the floor they had to go into our like monitor room because i worked on the cardiac floor um they had to go watch all the heart monitors because our patients needed more monitoring so it was just a constant cycle of that or going into work at 2 a.m to take vitals because we didn't have enough staff for the nurses to take it um and nursing culture is very much like people's lives are on the line yeah it's serious stuff so you just do you don't really ask you just do and you don't look like i literally would hold my pee for eight hours you know like there's just no that you don't you don't eat during your shift

sometimes like you don't question it you just do it so there was a cycle of that um and after a few months taylor we were driving somewhere and he was like hey are you okay and i was like yeah i'm just like really tired i just worked three nights in a row whatever it was um he was like no but like actually are you okay and the conversation just like ended we didn't like talk about it anymore and that was really the first time i was like oh am i like am i struggling with something like how am I doing um and it definitely took me a few months to kind of process that because also you can't process when you're in that heightened environment it's also not normal it was like this historic thing

that you were at the center of and you were so new I don't even think like the most trained nurse was prepared for what they saw yeah they don't really teach you that in nursing right so yeah definitely took some time but i ended up uh getting covid really bad not from work ironically but um i ended up getting sick really bad in like june of well now i guess not last year 2021 um and you were out for like two and a half months yeah it like knocked me on my butt oh damn yeah um which was just kind of crazy but i think that was just kind of like god the universe being like you need a break yeah like you need to sit down i'm not good i'm always constantly doing something it was like you need to chill you need to take a look at yourself figure this stuff out because like you're not doing well. Do what's best for you.

Yeah. So during that, I was able to kind of be like, OK, I need to leave the hospital. This is not good for me. Like I'm not this isn't where I'm supposed to be. So I ended up leaving. And after that, I was like, what do I want to do? Like, I know I have this platform on social media. I really like helping people

clearly I'm a nurse like that helping people is something your yeah it brings me joy yeah so I was like what do I want to do so I started this little blog thing called lemons by tay and I was just like I'll write blogs on here I'll share I don't know thoughts feelings that I have some tips and whatever that helped me uh and then from there that kind of morphed into a non-profit which I didn't really have an intention of starting but I woke up one day and I was like hey babe I'm gonna start a non-profit he was like what I was like yep he's like cool so I started the lemons foundation which is a non-profit um and then a few months later I was like hey I think I want to start a podcast. Yes. And he was like, what?

Entrepreneurial queen. We love to see that. Yeah. So, yeah, that's kind of like how we got to here. And it's definitely. And you're hosting it together. Yeah. Are you nervous at all about working with a spouse?

It can take a toll. And I don't speak from experience. We actually filmed our first episode yesterday and you're still happily married yeah it went really well good the first yeah the first two episodes are going to be me interviewing her and then her interviewing me just so we can start it off with right baseline our story of mental health and why we're doing this podcast. And then, you know, we'll have awesome guests after that. But yeah, no, I got to interview her and it was a fantastic conversation and I'm super excited for people to see it.

What is your journey with mental health? I mean, obviously fame is toxic, but you were at like another level and you were 16 yeah i mean i think that's it i think it's just how unorthodox it was to grow up like that and my journey is i'm in the middle of it i'm still figuring it out i don't you know she's helped me, but I'm still very much in the process of, you know, figuring out what all those things I went through and how they affect me today and how I, you know, go about life now in the healthiest way. But yeah, I think it was a strange upbringing. So many incredible things come with it that I'm so thankful for and, you know, wouldn't trade a thing. But yeah, there's definitely. There's no handbook to doing it. Yeah, no handbook to diving in as a COVID nurse and no handbook to being a werewolf.

Let me ask you a question. This might sound weird, but did you and do you like being famous? Yes and no. Okay. That's so fair. I like some of the things that come with it because we get to do super fun things and feel very blessed because of that. But yeah, there's definitely sometimes I wish I could just go to the grocery store and not have to wear a hat and sunglasses. Right.

And sometimes we do just want to go to dinner and have a peaceful dinner. Yeah. So I think there's, you know, like anything, there's pros and cons. And what's your take on acting now? Like, do you is it something you really want to continue to pursue consistently? continue to pursue consistently? I think my take is that I am very lucky and blessed from the franchise that I don't have to be working all the time back to back. Because that creates that toxic cycle of like needing projects to work

and putting so much energy and like validation into getting the role. And that's the goal that's where i want to be is i don't have to feel and put this pressure on myself that i haven't done a movie or tv show in six months like what am i doing right i'm failing right i don't want to feel like that and i i don't um yeah I I want to get to a place which I think I'm I think I'm there um where it's like if a project comes up that it's a role I'm super passionate about or it's somebody that I really want to work with or I just think it'll be super fun or it'll like just help me grow like whatever it is I just want to be able to wait for that opportunity and be like yeah this sounds like it would you know further me right either like emotionally yeah it's not all about what role you book next and that's obviously a privilege to be in that position

but I think it's super helpful when it comes to your mental health because acting can be so so toxic when like you're the rejection it's it's not a normal way you're not supposed to feel rejected in your job every single day yeah but that's a huge part of it yeah it's a rough it's a rough business in that sense but you know let me tell you about the business of podcasting you guys you're gonna love it you're gonna love it it's so fun you can edit yourself like if you fuck up it's just everything you can like set up your own cameras make sure you like the angle. So I'm really honored to have had you on the podcast and also to welcome you into the podcasting space.

The podcast is called The Squeeze, which by the way, actually one more question is what's with the lemons? Lemons by Tay, the Lemon Foundation, The Squeeze. I love the name of the podcast, but what's the symbolization? You know. Symbolism. Sorry. Duh.

Whatever. That'sism. Sorry. Duh. Whatever. That's a good question. I literally when I was trying to think of a name for the blog I like I still have the paper in my notebook. I wrote down like 12 different names I could use and lemons came to mind and I was like oh I kind of like that because I've been, life's been literally chucking lemons at me. Right. Where I'm at right now.

So I definitely think it's kind of like a fun like plan. That's a good reason. I like that. Also lemons like are fresh and healthy and like, I don't know. Yeah. Yellow is a happy color. A hundred percent. I love your tagline though of like, what, like what?

When life gives you lemons, what do you do? No, I mean, that's cute. But the like, it feels as of recently or over the last couple of years that, you know, we haven't been handed lemons. They've been forcefully thrown at all of us. It's like, what do you do with that? Right. It's not like here's a lemon.

It's literally just. Right. It's like that out of control feeling. Take this. Yeah. And make it into something yummy and beautiful. Right. Which we all can do. But it's like difficult. Yeah. It's like that out of control feeling. Yeah. It's like take this. Yeah. And make it into something yummy and beautiful. Right. Which we all can do, but it's like difficult.

Yeah. It's very easy. Yeah. And then, yeah, with the podcast, like I love when you say like the lemon is like the juice of your mental health. The squeeze. So the squeeze, like, yeah, we want to get like into the juice. And just like from a branding perspective, like the squeeze sounds like the name of a very, very famous talk show.

It's such a good name. I agree. I wish I thought of it first. The toast a lot to do. Thank you guys so much for being here. I love hanging out with you. Thank you guys for listening. I hope you enjoyed this episode.
