Good morning, Millennials, and welcome back to The Toast, and happy Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. We have a gorgeous, very special Friday episode for you guys today. I am back in studio in our Florida headquarters, Toast HQ, Transatlantic Edition, and I am sitting down. I figured, you know, while I have Jackie's studio at my disposal, why don't we give Jax a day off, let her ease into the weekend, alarm-free living, and I could sit down with, honestly, annoyingly, one of the most requested co-hosts in the Toast universe.

I just realized you're not wearing shoes. Is that a problem? That's just crazy. Celebrities don't have to wear shoes. You know, I just hopped off the golf course, came here, just living that life. Did you bring shoes to Jackie's house? No. You drove without shoes?

No, I wore my new blue Birkenstocks that I purchased at Target. They're not Birkenstock brand. They're nice. They're just not Birkenstock brand. No, no, they're not. And I wouldn't wear Birkenstock brand because Birkenstock brand ripped off Naot and Naot is an Israeli company. That's very true.

And these Birkenstock, non-Birkenstock blue shoes are waterproof and incredibly uncomfortable. So I just. No, it's insane. It's insane. I want to just address the people watching on YouTube because we are doing video today. I guess like feet are good for engagement. So that's fine. And that happens to be the foot.

This is a good foot. Yeah. You have a wonky toe on the other foot. Don't do it. And that happens to be the foot. This is a good foot. Yeah. You have a wonky toe on the other foot. Don't do it. Don't do it. Just put, no, no, no. The second one? Down, down, but down dog.

Other foot. Just stop. When did people start calling feet dogs? I don't know. That's a good question. It's strange, isn't it? Isn't it? Like put away your dogs.

Put them dogs away. Like why? Why? I don't know. Your feet are looking quite doggish today they're looking literally unbelievable i don't even know like like what are you even talking i never really look at your feet they're kind of um like crazy they're what's wrong with them they're not like a gorgeous foot it's a pretty nice foot you could do much worse the shape of your big toe is insane no no it's a perfect foot for me it's a pretty nice foot. You could do much worse. The shape of your big toe is insane. No, no. It's a perfect foot for me.

It's a great foot. What's wrong with my foot? Your big toe just looks like, remember in Spy Kids, those like thumbs? Of course. That's what your big toe looks like. Oh, my big toe looks like a thumb toe, which it is. Not a thumb toe. Wow.

Not a thumb toe. Just a thumb. Let me guess. You don't like my pinky toe because it's small is. Not a thumb toe. Wow. Not a thumb toe. Just a thumb. Let me guess. You don't like my pinky toe because it's small? No, your pinky toe's fine. Yeah. Let's see your feet. I got a pedicure.

I'm looking good. Interesting. It's a nice foot, no? It always is. So let's just issue an apology to everybody watching on YouTube. You are going to have to stare at Ben's bare feet. If I had noticed before we started recording that you weren't wearing shoes, I would have sent you downstairs to put your shoes on.

Interesting. And then you could have talked about your new shoes that we got at target yesterday you want me to go get my shoes no you're fine um we went to target yesterday we had kind of like an amazing day out we went to outback steakhouse we did we went to target we did i filmed a tiktok at outback steakhouse and i will be posting it today so our review is pending but let's give the the toasters like a brief sneak peek what did you think of target no of outback steakhouse we'd both never been it was our first time of course i've seen the commercials i know about the bloom and onion by the way you've been saying that i've been to outback that's how i knew to order the bloom and onion with who your girlfriend no with my parents

same and just like i don't know no i by the way i've never been to outback and even i know you get the bloom and onion because I've seen the commercials. See, Outback is a solid establishment. You're looking for a safe meal in a town where you just, you don't know what's safe and what isn't. You don't know if you're going to walk in here, get food poisoning from the tuna. You don't know. You don't know. You can trust that Outback's got your back.

Do you think that's their slogan? No, it's Outback. Down Under. Oh, true. True. It was getting Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oi, oi, oi. And that really begs the question.

We just kind of accept that the branding of Outback is Australian. Now, I've never been to Australia, and I don't think I've ever eaten Australian food, but is Steakhouse Australian cuisine? What makes Outback Australian? I'm not sure. I think that the whole down under thing is like kind of like the wild. Marketing. No, it's like the Wild West, isn't it?

It's like the western part of Australia when they say down under. Oh, like safari? No, not like safari. Like, more like cowboys and Indians, I believe. Honestly, like the whole. So when you think of like steakhouses like steakhouses are like let's let's rope rope them cows excuse me no I don't know I think it's just like a marketing thing that we've all sort of just gone with but yesterday I was thinking critically at Outback

Steakhouse what about Outback whether it be the restaurant interior design the cuisine the menu what about it is Australian? You are trying to cancel Outback. No, I'm not. I just feel like nobody's been asking questions. Another fine establishment canceled. That's not true. Once you see my review,

you're going to see I actually really enjoyed myself there. I'm just critically thinking about Outback when I feel like nobody has. I've been seeing those commercials with that guy. Outback down under. I've been seeing it. Good eye. I've been seeing it since i was a child and i just sort of accepted it but now i'm a critically thinking adult and i'm just asking questions and i don't think it's ever bad to ask questions do you i assume that one of the owners the original owners was from down under and maybe

maybe just maybe the original Outback was in Australia. Or maybe it's like La Croix, which everybody thought was La Croix from France. And really it's canned in Wisconsin. By the way, it's the La Croix effect. It is, right? It's La Croix-Bearman effect. But so then to that point, nobody ever looked at Outback and said, ooh, I want that Australian feeling.

You know, they're going there for like a cheap steak. Okay, but now let's think even more critically. We actually have had Australian cuisine once when we went to Ruby's. Delicious. What were we eating there? Pasta? No, by the way, nothing there was Australian. Okay.

Wait, what is Australian cuisine? Precisely my initial question. Should we Google? No. You sure? Yeah. You don't want to know? No.

I think we should know. I prefer to talk about things I don't know and not like actually find them out, you know? Really? Yeah. I like to know. No. So we went to Outback Steakhouse yesterday. And it was great.

It was fun. Yeah, Ben didn't have as good of an experience as I did. No, no. The vibe's immaculate. You walk in, big beautiful booths, hostess, lovely, waitress,

lovely, or ask for a lemon, give us six. Yeah, big sodas. Giving. That was the, by the way, and that was the exact type

of energy I was looking for when we were scouring, you know, the neighborhood for somewhere to eat. I wanted like a big comfy booth with a big soda. And that's just like

a chain restaurant vibe. So when we passed Outback, it was kind of meant to be. It was. It was. You were skeptical at first. I was. But I said, you are looking for an Outback. You knew what I needed.

I knew what you needed. And you didn't share with me that you had already been to an Outback with your girlfriend. I did share it. What else do you and your girlfriend do? I got married at Outback. I got married in Italy. Did I say you stole my wedding country it's a cultural reference i understand where's it from no i understood that it was a cultural reference i didn't think that

you were speaking to me guess where it's from movie right no damn i didn't even get the category right keeping up with the kardashians oh well, the Kardashians on Hulu, but same thing. Okay, so we have a bunch of stories today. We actually have a lot of loose ends we need to tie up. A Megan Fox update with her GoFundMe saga. We have a Francia Rae Cecilina Gomez update. And I have briefed Ben while he was in the shower this morning on everything up until this point.

So he knows a bunch of the background. And he had taken a particular interest. Actually, he poked his head out of the shower this morning. He was asking me questions about what's going on with Ariana Grande. You want to know why I asked you? Because you figured we were talking about it? No.

Yes. You wake up in the morning. I know. Sometimes a song is just stuck in your head. And for whatever reason, the song that was stuck in my head was Aim and put them down SpongeBob turned into a clown

and nobody ever wants to dance with a fool who went and ripped his pants and while i know that ariana grande is not actually dating the character from spongebob voice actor for whatever reason the two went into my head. She is dating a pretty not famous low-level actor whose recent claim to fame was that he was in Spongebob the musical playing Spongebob live on stage. Oh, wait. I thought that the wife... Oh, oh, oh. Wait, what?

I thought that the wife of the person who was the Spongebob voice actor came out and said, no, they're not dating. It was her. That was another part of the story. But when it came out that Ariana was dating Ethan Slater, everyone was like, who the fuck is that? Wait, so he is the voice of Spongebob? No, he played Spongebob on, maybe not Broadway, maybe Broadway.

There was a Spongebob live action musical on stage and he was the Spongebob character. Got it. So he's Spongebob. No, but he's not the Spongebob on maybe not broadway maybe broadway there was a spongebob live action musical on stage and he was the spongebob character got it so he's spongebob no but he's not a spongebob but literally everybody came out and said no not spongebob he's spongebob he's not spongebob and the reason that that the actual voice actor of the iconic spongebob actor came out and was like this is not my husband it's the guy from the broadway version of it because everybody thought her husband was sleeping with ariana grande so she just left a comment and was like guys this isn't me um we're actually about to celebrate like our 40th anniversary they're like much older i understand so there was confusion but you had the you made the connection correctly i did he's widely known for his you know amazing role as spongebob in the spongebob play on stage which

how many people have seen 17 i just like i didn't even know that spongebob in the Spongebob play on stage. Which how many people have seen? 17. I just like, I didn't even know that Spongebob was on Broadway. How do you put Spongebob on Broadway? Well, you should watch some of the clips that are coming out of Ethan's performance. It's giving major cringe. Really? Yeah.

He's not good? He's fine. He's like a trained professional on stage performer. But Spongebob on stage is just a weird play. It's a terrible concept. Like, I don't even know why you would do it. It's almost as bad as Aladdin. Did you see Aladdin?

No, you went without me. Horrible. Horrible. If you love Aladdin, don't see it. Ruin the magic? If you love Lion King, see that. Yeah. See that.

So Ben has been briefed. We have a bunch of updates. And we're going to get your thoughts, you know, on infidelity, on Go gofundme uh on on all things so are you ready to dive in with me of course of course wow literally i just want like the record to show i came here with beautifully manicured feet and i was just thrown to the wolves and now all of a sudden i am being mocked for my my stutter do you like want some sort of an apology? I'm sorry that I have a problem. You do, but you're not going to get it.

Are you ready for the past five? Yes. Do you not feel like answering me today? No, I mean, yes i've been ready okay i'm not i'm ready i'm not i'm not just give me a second i'm like doing it all today you know all right stories if we want before we dive in we can talk about

bed bugs or no bed bugs let's just clear the record before you're about to say we don't have bed bugs no we don't have bed bugs so why the fuck do you want to talk about saying you didn't want to jump into the Fast Five yet, and something's been on my mind. So in case you want to go on a random tangent, we can. You are more than welcome to say what's on your mind, but I never said I didn't want to dive in. But please. No, you were saying that, you know, there's a lot going on. Okay, go. The expression.

Oh, yes. Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite. That we say to our young children, bless bite. That we say to our young children. Bless you. That we say to our young children. Isn't that really on the parent for not cleaning the kid's sheets? Why would there be bedbugs in the kid's bed? That's a good question.

So what are you going to say to our future children? You have to say they have a problem. Good night. Sleep tight. I love you. Sleep well. Why would the bedbugs bite? I did your sheets.

Why would you have bedbugs? Oh, so in in this hypothetical scenario you're changing and cleaning the sheets no you but like your mama cleaned the sheets but even if i clean the sheet to get bed bugs it's just like it's so it's disgusting it's disgusting and why would you think that your children would have bed bugs why would you put that in their heads no it's a good question i think you know this is something that a lot of people experience when they become parents is you find the dark origins of like classic limericks songs. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down. That's like, if you look into the history of that, it's very dark.

It's something about a cemetery. I don't know. What about Rock-A-Bye Baby? On the treetop, when the wind blows, the crater will rock. When the bow breaks, the crater will fall, and down will come baby. Oh my god. Cradle and all. Is that the story of death? A baby dying.

Right? Like it's a baby in a tree. Yep. Falling to its death. Jeez. I'm just saying. I thought I needed to bring this up. I'm so glad you did. You should talk it up with Jackie. She's a mom. See what types of riddles she's bringing into her home. If only somebody could write a children's book for the modern age. Thecamberandthecounselor.com.

That's five. Seamless. I love that. Now, for those who may be new here, you know, we're constantly growing. I forgot to mention, Ben is my husband, just in case anybody didn't know that. He's a big celebrity. He's the founder of Spritz Society, our sparkling canned wine cocktail that we started together. We actually just launched Merce yesterday. If you

want to check it out, SpritzSociety.com. He also hosts his own podcast called Good Guys, hosted with Josh Peck, who's kind of an A-list celebrity these days since he's been in Oppenheimer. Do you feel threatened at all? Like, you know, when you guys first started the podcast, of course, Josh was much more famous than you. He's an iconic actor drake and josh he was a former member of the vlog squad big influencer but you know the difference between you guys wasn't that big you were in the same space but josh is in oppenheimer how do you feel you know threatened no not threatened but i as we've been talking about sag everybody's on strike you know i feel left out of the club. You do. As a fellow celebrity,

I really should be on SAG. I should be in SAG. You can stand in solidarity with the strike, though. And like, Fran Dreschner, I just,

I just want to be out there. Fran who? Drescher. You said Drescher. Okay, for one second. You said Drescher. Literally, you wanted me to say Drescher.

No, I didn't want anything, I was just listening. Fran Drescher. By the way we we're gonna union against you i'm gonna who's we i don't know me theo josh oh you're starting you're going on strike against me yeah okay i'll pull all your ads don't forget i'm your boss bitch interesting i run tnn i run this town interesting you see you see it's his name bob odenkirk or is that the actor bob eiger yeah bob fine i'm bob eiger yeah in this situation i'm for him you're a friend yeah but we want fair wages are you not getting wage fair wages no how so because streaming we don't stream we do where here this is live this is stream this is essentially a webcam

no i don't know where you're putting this the internet is a free market you bring up an interesting point case closed case closed we got a deal very good okay let's dive into the stories so i was telling you and we were talking on the toast earlier that megan fox earlier this week posted a gofundme for she said her nail tech whose father had been diagnosed with cancer they were raising about thirty thousand dollars fans were quick to notice. You know, Megan Fox could easily clear that 30K in a matter of moments. And, you know, on GoFundMe.com,

you can actually look through all the donations thus far. You could sort by highest to lowest, and the highest donation was $300. So there's no proof that that was Megan Fox, and if it was, $300. Like, come on, girl. So people were like, girl, read the room. In this economy, you're a celebrity.

Pay it. She got a bunch of backlash. And now she has responded to the backlash like come on girl so people were like girl read the room in this economy you're a celebrity pay it she got a bunch of um backlash and now she has responded to the backlash after asking fans to help with her friends go fund me i will read you her statement that she posted it's very aggressive she posted it on her instagram story just you know a little text you know nothing crazy hey weirdos do any of you have the emotional intelligence to consider that maybe Brit the nail tech Doesn't want her celebrity clients donating large sums of money to her because it creates a dynamic in her working relationships That make her uncomfortable So instead she asked me to post the gofundme so that many people could donate small amounts of money to help them reach their goal

I just obliged her request anything she needs from me personally She will ask and I will do privately one thing. You're not going to accuse me of is being miserly or lacking generosity so try again on another day probably tomorrow with some different bullshit you bunch of psychos so she came out swinging but pretty much what she said we and jackie were like you know what you never know she probably donated in private like let's not jump but she pretty much admitted that she didn't donate because her friend didn't ask i have like a weird thing with megan fox what where i think i feel bad for her how so there's just like something like i'm sure that there she's in a loving relationship machine and kelly all that stuff it's just like something where i just always feel like megan fox is maybe it's just because i recently saw a video of like his security like pushing her up against a barricade and then all of a sudden they just like both walk

off where she's trying not to make it a scene but clearly she's in pain and probably wants to cry but she's just like oh the cameras are on me I'm just gonna like I just feel like their life is like so unbelievably chaotic in public and she no matter what she does, she's always talked about. And I actually don't think that it's a big deal. I think it's a nice thing to post a link for someone who needs a GoFundMe. And it is very easy for people to give little checks if they care about it. And I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt that if, how much money was raised? I mean, at this point, I'm not entirely sure. The was thirty thousand dollars here go fund me the goal was 60 excuse me and as

of right now even with all the press they've raised eight thousand okay so i would assume or i would think that if megan fox has the means she finishes it right like she does the extra 52 to get this woman to 60. Maybe not, but I'd also like to point out that just because you're a celebrity and just because your net worth says that you have X, she could be completely broke. So what we talked about the other day with Jackie and I

is, you know, we dove deep into her finances. We're like, it's entirely possible that she's actually not liquid. She's always famous. She's always being spoken about, but she's never being spoken about her work. But she was in three Transformers movies, and those are like major.

No, I get it. But like you just never know. Like is she, I don't know. You're continuing to give her the benefit of the doubt, which is nice because I'm currently thinking, in her statement she basically admitted that her friend didn't ask her for money, so she didn't give her any money. How close are they?

It's his friend. It's her nail tech. I get it. Are they friends? I don't know if you're friendly enough to, I don't know. I just think like, if I was Megan Fox and this woman asked me to post her GoFundMe, I would probably just give her the money instead of posting it because I would know the backlash. But maybe she didn't know the backlash.

It's happened with celebrities before. I think truly what happened is these people are not friends. but maybe she didn't know the backlash. It's happened. It's happened with celebrities before. I just, I think truly what happened is these people are not friends. This is Megan Fox's nail tech. Her nail tech came to her with a question. I'm sick. I need money. Her father.

Oh, my father is sick. And Megan Fox was like, Oh man, like I can't believe you came to me with this. What am I supposed to do? All right, I'll post it for you. But they're not friends, which is why she didn't give her the money.

And she did this as a favor. And now it's all coming back. She's not giving her the money to pay rent. It's like her father is sick with cancer. Honestly, I don't like this response from Megan Fox. It's like weirdly aggressive. And she very much says, Britt didn't ask me for money, so I didn't give it to her.

But like, she's never going to ask for money, but you see someone who you're comfortable, you let her into your home, she works for you. Like, come on, just give her the money.

I don't know. Okay. I don't know. So I guess we're going to agree to disagree here? I think we're going to agree to disagree here. I think so.

Okay, that's... I just don't have enough information. I don't. I'm sorry. What information don't you have? I feel like we... I need to know how close they are. No, I'm saying information that neither of us will have.

Okay. I need to know how close they are. I need to know what the question was. I need to know how much money Megan Fox has. And I need to understand this whole sort of... Is it a triangle? What do you call it? Yeah.

Situation. Megan Fox's finances are definitely of interest to me as well. And feel kind of vague. Vague. We were on Tuesday or whenever we talked about this. We went through her IMDB. And she hadn't been in a movie that we'd heard of since 2016. That's a long time.

But she was in Transformers. Do you, for sure she makes like money now? All I know is what I've learned from Josh. And by the way, listen to good guys. It's fantastic. Is that Josh didn't get roy is what I've learned from Josh. And by the way, listen to good guys. It's fantastic. Is that Josh didn't get royalties for any of Drake and Josh. Yeah. There's like, they're weird.

Like you think that somebody is killing it and it's all up to did their lawyer and contract make it so that they are killing it. Yeah. There's a very solid chance that maybe as a woman in Hollywood, she went into Transformers and is making no money maybe she got i'm sure she got a huge check then maybe she blew it on a car and a house and all this stuff and the economy and everybody no and she also um or maybe she went through a divorce where she was the earner great so he took half her money and maybe she had 15 prior nail techs

between 2016 and 2022 saying that their dad also had cancer and asked for a hundred grand from each of them and now she's broke maybe is that fair it's by the way so fair there's many things we don't know but based on all the information i've received so far i don't think meg fox is like coming off amazing okay you made good points i made good points right you did crushed it i'm just saying like as a fellow celebrity. Right. Oh how would you handle a situation like this celebrity? If they were my friend truly and I had the means I would do it in a heartbeat. Of course.

If they weren't my friend and I had the means I think that I would try to co-raise it. I think I'd give some. Or you would give a chunk. I'd give a chunk. That's what I said. She said to give all 60 but like 15. Yeah exactly. That's what I would try to co-raise it. I think I'd give some. Or you would give a chunk. I'd give a chunk. That's what I said. She's like to give all 60, but like 15. Yeah, exactly. That's what I would do. Yeah.

That's what I would do. All right, next up, we have another update in this Francia Raissa Selena Gomez insane drama. What's the name? Francia Raissa. By the way, she stars in How I Met Your Father with Josh Peck. Amazing. Yes. So we're team Francia because we're team Josh.

Okay, well you have to hear the But what's her name? Francia. It's not that crazy of a name. What's her last name? Raisa. Raisa.

It's really not like a crazy name. Raisa. Francia Raisa. It's just the way you said it. You're having trouble saying it. Admit it. I'm literally not. Francia Raisa.

Francia Raisa. Francia Raisa. Francia Raisa. Francia Raisa. Francia Raisa. Interesting. So say you were wrong and you're dumb. I was wrong.

And? I'm dumb. Love you. Okay. So I gave Ben the backstory in the shower this morning. Yesterday, Selena Gomez. Together. No, I was doing my makeup.

Every morning. You're sick. You're sick. Yesterday, Selena Gomez wished a happy birthday for Selena uh Francia Reese or her organ donor who you know a lot of people have speculated that the two have beef oh wait you said Ariana Grande when before you said Ariana Grande and Francia Reese so I thought then I misspoke okay good this is Selena Gomez's organ donor great okay oh she is co-stars with Josh? Yes. Wow.

We gotta get Josh to get the tea. No, by the way, I gotta get Francia Ruiz on Good Guys. Yes. Wow. Okay. So here's the backstory for those who do not know,

including Ben. Selena got an organ from this girly. The two appear to stop being friends, which is incredibly bizarre. They've left like kind of weird comments on social media, kind of fueling the rumors that they have a beef. Then out of nowhere yesterday selena wishes her happy birthday francia doesn't

even follow selena on instagram a few hours later francia refollows selena on instagram wow that was the update from yesterday then today tmz caught up with her of course tmz is asking the questions like what the hell is going on between you two like it's good it's not good it's good it's not good we want to know so there's a video i highly recommend you go watch it on tmz it's good it's not good it's good it's not good we want to know so there's a video I highly recommend you go watch it on TMZ it's very telling in my opinion so she was in West Hollywood on Thursday a photographer asked her about Selena wishing her a happy birthday which seems to be an olive branch during their falling out so Francia says I got a lot of birthday messages and I appreciate everyone who sent me but she didn't even address Selena she was just saying

thanks it's all good. So then, then she gets in the car and the photographer is like, you know, what's going on with you and Selena? Like, is there beef? And she's like, no beef. And then the guy was like, was there ever beef? Have a good day guys. That's what she says. So I think this video was meant to clear it up. I'm even more suspicious. I need a body language expert watching this video. It's so not settling anything for me. If anything, I'm even more incensed. I'm such a conspiracy theorist when it comes to this saga.

And this video is making me feel like it's not even a conspiracy. Like these two are not friends. What do you think? I think the whole story is very troubling. Wow, you took like a five second silent pause just to say that vote of nothing? To give... An organ. An organ to a friend.

You have to be besties. Yeah. Well, actually, you know what? I asked the toasters yesterday if anybody has given or received an organ to let me know what um, what that experience was like and maybe provide some color. And we actually got a lot of comments from people whose family members had given or received, or they themselves had given or received. And they say you go through an extensive process with a social worker before agreeing to donate. Cause they want

to make sure nobody's being coerced into giving a donation. They also say you go through like a lot of, almost like a lecture from the social worker making it seem like, you know, you're giving someone an organ transplant, not a personality transplant. So you can't give this to this person expecting, you know, for the rest of their life, they're gonna be indebted to you.

You know, you have to give it because you love them and you want this person around. And that's it. And you have to be comfortable knowing, you know, people come and go out of your life. You can maybe not talk to this person in 10 years. So it was actually very helpful. So like, I don't think it's unheard of for you to not talk to the person who gave you an organ,

but this definitely seems like- Were they for sure best friends? Like the thing is, the first time I ever heard of Francia Reyes's name was when best friends like the thing is the first time i ever heard of francia race's name was when she was like the girl who gave selena a kidney like i don't know the extent of their friendship so perhaps they were just see we never have all the information and we never will but perhaps see the whole time i'm here thinking they're besties having a great time selena's sick friend offers a kidney

boom and then all of a sudden they're not friends then you think there's beef perhaps maybe just perhaps they were never friends she gave her the kidney they were acquaintances and then they remained not friends the way that it seems and there was like a documentary or something like a video made francia's i forget what it was but francia was talking about it or something like a video made Francia I forget what it was but Francia was talking about it and she like feel she sounded very uncomfortable and she also said that like Selena found out that Francia was a match before Francia found out and legally usually the person who's a match finds out and they can like say no and the person will never know that they were even a match you know because you don't have to give it but clearly it's definitely by the way i had a hiccup i don't have to give it

um it's like an awkward based on like the information we've seen it's a very weird situation it's weird it's almost like would you give me your kidney of course but it's almost like somebody is rich and somebody is broke. Who's broke? No, I'm just, I'm saying like hypothetically, you have a rich person and a broke person and the broke person finds out, like gets like the rich person's bank statement and finds out exactly how much money they have and goes to them and says, hey, you could spare 50 grand, give it to me. That's weird. You don't like my analogy? I have no idea how the analogy applies. The analogy applies because Selena found out

that she was a match before the person found out that they were a match. So I'm saying Selena maybe went to this person and was like, I need your kidney. We're a match. But the friend maybe just didn't want to give up their kidney. No, I know.

It's a very- Or maybe she wasn't a friend at all. The more you look into this whole situation, it is very weird. And it's whole situation, it is very weird. And it's, yeah, it's very strange. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? That video where Francia is talking about it. And she literally says that Selena knew she was a match before Francia did.

I can't remember what it is. It's not in Selena's documentary, but I've seen it. Please, if you know what I'm talking about, drop a comment. Very interesting. This episode of The Toast is brought to you by Poise Ultra Thins. New mamas, listen up because Poise Ultra Thins are that pad. Now, becoming a mom has come with a lot of big changes. And with baby number two on the way, I'm getting ready to experience some of that all over again.

You know, the joys of postpartum life are boundless. And every time you think you've gotten a grasp on something, you discover something really new and beautiful and wonderful. And it's just such a gift. So something super common that we don't always talk about when it comes to postpartum life is bladder leaks. One in two women over 20 experience bladder leaks. And most young moms try to use period pads to solve the problem. You know, makes sense or so you think. But actually, period pads aren't designed for pee. Thankfully, poise ultra thins are specifically designed for bladder leaks and keep you 10 times drier than the leading period pad. This was not something that I knew at first

and now I am so glad to know that there are specific pads designed for bladder leaks and poise ultra thins are the best ones. The clean, dry, and fresh protection these pads provide is a lifesaver and they're shaped to fit and flex with your body so you can stay comfortable and live without compromise. Poise Ultra Thins offer with and without wings so you can live worry-free. Personally, I have enough on my plate as a mom, so I love the idea of taking one worry off the list and having the exact tools that I need when I need them. It takes poise. Learn more at poise.com. So let's talk about you potentially giving me a kidney or an organ one day. I would 100% give you one. Me too. Like no questions asked. Of course you would. Yeah. Interesting. But um. I'm kind of surprised. Why? I don't know I just like like there's of course of course you

love me but I don't know if you love me enough to go under the knife. I don't know. I just like, like there's, of course, of course you love me, but I don't know if you love me enough to go under the knife. I don't know if you'd want one of my organs. I can't imagine they're in like the best condition ever, but like if it was a good one, then I wouldn't even, without question, without hesitation, I would give it to you. Why would you even say that? You just don't like surgery. I'm just thinking like. Don't like surgery.

Okay. So you should die. No, I, oh, with life or death? Duh. No, but like I'd give it to you even if it was like better life, not death. Oh my God. That's so sweet. I wouldn't give it to you for better better life like that's dumb see there you go that's literally dumb you'd leave me having a worse life no but like what if things don't work out between us would you want it back no that's sick i remember there was a story about a guy who like gave a kidney to his wife and they got divorced years later and he wanted it back

really yeah that is psychotic and it reminds me of the oscar snubbed film rat race that i just re-watched on the plane when newman is transporting a heart across state lines have you seen the movie unbelievable and they lose the heart it's an organ he's selling the organ oh we could get into organ farming you want to do that no why not also very lucrative george lopez's wife i, gave him a kidney and they ended up getting divorced too. It's bitter divorce. Yeah.

Oh, my. Hey. Here's a little rata. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Oh, my. Hey. Here's a little rata. Do, do, do, do, do, do.

world's most expensive handbag to a soccer game on tuesday so kim brought her air maze himalaya bag crocodile diamond birkin bag it costs more than a hundred thousand dollars but it's estimated to be worth about three hundred and eighty thousand dollars to the soccer game between al nasser and paris saint germain in osaka japan she kept the rest of her look casual you know who cares she wore balenciaga vomit um but the bag which is like you know classic it's a birkin but it's a special birkin it's made of himalayan crocodile it has diamond encrusted hardware a bunch of real housewives have it all the kardashian girlies have it. It is the world's most expensive handbag.

How much is it? I just, I literally just told you. Sorry. So you say I'm here. I'm listening. And no, I didn't say I was listening. I said, I'm here. It costs you purchase it.

If you, by the way, the whole point is that like, what if you can't get it? I get it. You can't get it. But if Kim, obviously you can purchase it from Hermes. If you want to purchase it, it's a hundred thousand dollars, but they go, you know, people sell them secondhand. They're on the, hand they're on the uh you know real real well actually they're not really on the real real but if you were to purchase it second hand from like a vintage shop you're probably

going to pay closer to 400 grand but that's what it's worth not what it cost yeah wow that's crazy um kim kardashian is an unbelievable mom oh why you say that? Because the way that she has taken her son's interest in soccer. Yeah, so seriously. And spent all of her money. I get that she has so much money. I get it. She's literally spending all of her money making his dreams come true. Taking him all around the world to soccer games at literally six years old.

No, it's so true. He's six, right? Saint, yeah. Whatever. It's like, it's unbelievable. Yeah, no, it's really sweet. Right's six, right? Yeah. Whatever. It's like, it's unbelievable. Yeah, no, it's really sweet. Right? Yeah.

Like, I don't think anybody talks about that. What are your thoughts on like the big new soccer team? Is it in Miami? Messi? Inter. It's not a new soccer team, but Messi joined Inter Miami. So you're saying Messi, Lionel Messi, like the player who I've heard. Okay.

Lionel. Not like Lionel Richie. Wait. It's not Lionel Messi? No. Wait. I'm in shock. Lionel. No, it's Lionel. Like, I'm sorry. Okay, itel. Not like Lionel Richie. Wait, it's not Lionel Messi? No. Wait, I'm in shock. Lionel. No, it's Lionel.

Like, I'm sorry. Okay, it's not. He plays in America now. It's Lionel. That said, he'd be lucky to be, Hello, isn't me you're looking for? I'm sure some of you, like, millennial Gen Z hippies were like, Hello, it's me.

No, Adele ripped that off from Sir Lionel hello do you think you're Lionel Richie's number one fan I love him okay sing me another song

besides hello why did you have to do that no I know others okay go fine can you go on Spotify I just need the names I'm just blanking for a second okay

so you're obviously not like a huge fan but I'll give you I'll give you a life raft no no I'm literally I'm obsessed with him. Okay, here.

We'll play my favorite game. Okay. When you know the words to the song, sing along, sing along. Okay, ready? This is a Lionel song. My. You're kidding me. I need another word.

My. I need another word. My. I need another word. My end. My end. I don't know. My endless love. Wow, you're really not a Lionel Richie fan. I am.

I'm actually more, look, let me explain. Let me explain. Let me know when you're ready for me to okay i got another one you'll know this one okay fine when you know the words to that song sing along sing along okay all all night long all night all night long night. That was good. All night long. Okay, now let me explain where my fandom for Lionel Richie came from.

Matt Hartoon. It's important. It's important. My fandom for Lionel Richie came when I looked up the music video for my favorite song, Hello, isn't me you're looking for? And for anybody, have you seen the music video for my favorite song, Hello, isn't me you're looking for? And for anybody, have you seen the music video? No. The music video is about a man.

Wait, I just want to say, I want to hear what you'd say, but you've told this story on the Toast. I have? Yeah, but go again. The music video is about a man singing to a blind girl. And there's something just so touching, yet so... Bizarre? Bizarre and humorous about the song,

Hello, Is It Me You're Looking For? And when the woman on the receiving end can't see. Wait, no, they took a very literal approach. They did. Hello, isn't me you're looking for? Yes, I can't see anybody. No, if they had made that music video today, I think Lionel would be called ableist. Yes, unbelievable.

And now here's the kicker. Or here's the question. The girl who played the blind girl in the music video, do you think she was blind? Amazing question. Amazing question. Or was she pretending

to be blind and then all of a sudden putting all the blind actresses out of business? By the way, when you say pretending to be blind, you mean acting.

Oh, true. Right. Oh, you're so right. I know. Wow. Tough. How did we get here? how did we get here how did we get here how'd we get out oh oh soccer oh leonel oh but yes miami inter okay so hottest ticket in town so you're telling me like lionel messi whose name i have heard i don't follow soccer but i know

he's a cristiano ronaldo like yeah such a big he plays in America now he now plays in America is it like the offseason for him he's gonna go back to Barcelona or whatever he's on 150 million dollar contract which by the way for soccer these days even though that sounds like an ungodly amount of money is actually pennies oh wow because of not pennies because of the Saudis the Saudis just offered 771 million for one year. Ronaldo, I think, just took $300 million for one year. And Messi is taking $150 million for one year? I think it's for one year, yes.

Maybe he loves America. No, he has so much baked into this deal. Staking the team? Streaming, a stake in streams. There's something with Apple. So when Miami Inter plays teams they play other American states

yes and American soccer is slowly becoming a thing it's becoming a thing because they're getting great players like MetLife

they would play at MetLife yes does New York have a team we have the it's NYC FC oh yeah I've heard of it remember I went to a game they actually gave me

a jersey lovely I think it was at Yankee Stadium they put you on the Jumbotron because you're a celebrity they did exactly yeah yeah that's cool yeah it was cool so that's new york city football club i believe so yes and then there's the new york red bulls i've heard of them too yeah which is different different team but

like those it's like ushered in from like an age where like american soccer kind of stunk yeah like now american soccer is here what inter let me ask you another question. So we all grew up, at least for girls, a hero I feel of many girls was Mia Hamm. Did she play in America? You are asking the wrong guy. Yeah, like why did we all love, or was she an Olympian? She was probably an Olympian. Oh yeah, because then it's like World Cup.

It's typically. Then it's like all the girlies I follow on Instagram, like from the USWNT. Yeah. Typically when there's a beloved beloved women's athlete she was an Olympian. Right right because. Because that's when you get the most air time. Yeah yeah that's true that's true. That's when you get the most air time but what Miami Inter has done. Yeah. With these gorgeous pink jerseys have you seen them? I have. Sick. And how was David Beckham

involved? Is he like an owner? I think he's an owner yeah. Sick jerseys. Have you seen them? Sick. And how was David Beckham involved? Is he like an owner? I think he's an owner. Yeah. Sick jerseys. Very like, live in La Vida Loca in Miami. Yeah. Messy. Three goals I think he had in his first two games. Wow.

Guy is killing it. Yeah, Kim went to the first game. That's who I, that's what I thought you were saying and I was thinking to myself, they're calling this thing,

whoever wrote that article, a soccer game. It's not a soccer game. It was a big deal. This is a who's who. Yeah. Serena Williams. Where do they play?

LeBron James. Where do they play in Miami? No idea. Okay. At the football stadium. No, I'm saying does soccer games, because it's so un-American, do soccer games get played in football stadiums? I think that soccer games typically would get played in soccer stadiums, but because.

We don't have soccer stadiums. Well, we could. I don't know. Maybe they built one for Inter. They probably play like hard rock. Yeah. I mean, I guess where the Dolphins play. Yeah.

Again, another thing that we could easily look up, but I know you're against looking things up. I am. So we're just going to speculate. Because this is the podcast of people who know nothing, but have a good time exploring options. Understood. Understood.

You can look it up on your own where they play um but messy is great should we get into soccer yeah and it's funny i actually owe him a text back i texted my friend who's at nyc fc who's now no longer at nyc fc he's at metlife uh but uh inter is playing nyc fc in september and we're gonna get tickets and we're gonna go watch messy oh that's cool in new york lionel yeah lionel hello i'm in shock his name isn't lionel yeah it's not because i've never like been with people who talk about him they just write about him so i'm like lionel and then if i was ever like with someone who has you know been talking about soccer they would call him messy messy so this was just a huge you taught me so much today ben okay good thank you so much i'm happy good now i do have a fit

story but like it honestly sucks and i don't want to waste everyone's time so i could rather just like talk to you about literally anything else okay cool so what's new with you all good i'm starving what should we have for lunch today that's a great question are we going chain or no chain i wouldn't because i know what i want you want the deli yeah the kosher deli i want cheesecake factory i don't like it i'm sorry i think cheesecake factory is wholly overrated wow that's like literally me coming over here and being like spritz tastes bad like you're just trying to hurt me that is like so like a dumb comparison no it's not like really it doesn't make any sense. That would be like

me saying that. You own Cheesecake Factory? Yeah, in my heart. That should be our next... Let's buy Cheesecake Factory. Oh, cool. We could serve spritz. So that nobody

can be in it again. Literally every Cheesecake Factory I go to is empty. I know. We'd have to open it. Why are they so big? So much real estate, so empty.

We'd have to open like a small one that's kind of like bistro. Like, we'd have a waiting list. It'd be lit. We'd do happy hours. We'd serve spritz. We'd do meet and greets i love it let's buy a cheesecake factory yeah but like here's my bone to pick with cheesecake factories even though that's a beautiful dream

my bone to pick with them now i'm realizing it such unbelievable real estate like the taj mahal yeah you walk into a mall it's gorgeous huge you walk in the foods i wish it was a pf chang's yeah imagine if every cheesecake should we go to pf chang's for lunch yeah that's probably good but like then i'm gonna have diarrhea i know it's too heavy cheesecake factor. Should we go to P.F. Chang's for lunch? Yeah, that's probably good. But like then I'm going to have diarrhea. I know. It's too heavy. I know. I want to go to like, there's like a place that's like salad bars and like that kind

of stuff. Yeah. It's like a big beautiful salad, you know. I know, but. Start to push things down the griefy, griefy, griefy. Leafy greens. Leafy greens. No, I know.

But like, I love a chain restaurant. They're so comfortable. I love to sit. And at a chain, like we always eat like animals. So so yeah those like salad places are nice but they're always grab and go like i want an experience famous underrated chain on three one wait let me think what's underrated chain on three i don't know one two three denny's agreed sick let's go find a denny's fucking denny's is so good fucking Denny's bro so good another underrated underrated chain I actually think they could be out of business one two three friendlies okay I didn't know we were

still playing so good I've actually never been to a friendlies what came first I'm assuming that the the friendlies uh chain came before the friendly ice cream yeah it's in like the walmart yeah targets and stuff right um but like really delicious. That's our show. No, no, but like we'll do it again. Most underrated chain. Okay, wait, let me think. Give me a second. Do you know any chains?
