Good morning millennials. Welcome back to the toast. Happy Thursday. Hope everyone's having a blessed day thus far. It is the latter half of the week. Speaking of blessings, here's one of mine, Jackie O. That's so sweet. You know just how to butter me up considering what you've done. I've done nothing. done. I've done nothing. No you've done nothing like what what you've done is technically standard procedure here at the toast sometimes when one is traveling we have to record the night before which is not a big deal we did a few times last week I just am broken this evening I've been broken down and when you we were not sure if we were going to record at night or in the morning I was you know just hoping it would be the morning and then you said it would have to be tonight. And it just wasn't an ideal situation for me.

Now, of course, you have to do what you have to do and we have to do what we have to do. And I will give the show everything that I have. Jackie, just know I'm suffering. Oh, you are? You want to know why? Um, I think I know, but I'm sure you want to let everyone know why no you don't even know this is like a new update in my life oh I ordered room service I got a sandwich

it came with chips now I know you think that's like an acceptable substitute for french fries but I'm just here to tell you it's not no I'm here to tell you that it is and we were kind of talking about my suffering I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in your suffering like I'm here with you too. I'm suffering too. I kind of feel like you just monopolized on my suffering. I was taking a moment to complain about myself you know just I was feeling like sharing my unhappiness and you kind of took that from me. well I was more so just trying to relate to you on like a suffering level yeah yeah I don't see chips as sufferance but you're so wrong about that girl like you're so no you're so wrong especially for a sandwich a sandwich is arguably

better with chips oh my god that's such a lie that's so not true no it's not no it's not like a fry is is always good. I'll never turn one down. I would literally have fries with pasta. But for a sandwich? No. I'm team chip. Was it a kettle chip?

Let me show you. I didn't even eat one. Was it a ridge? It looks like, you know, homemade. I really. It has a little bit of personality yeah and I don't really like chips like period especially from a restaurant from a bag totally different like love a chip for a snack but a restaurant serving chips it's like come on do more well I don't feel sorry for you

for that but I know you've had a long travel day. I know some things didn't go your way this evening. I don't want to spoil it because I'm vlogging. But my flight here was crazy. I'm not going to spoil it though. Okay, great. I'm excited to watch your vlog. We're just kind of loving the adventures of Turdy Lou. I know.

And like so far the vlog has literally just been me. Margot hasn't landed here in Dallas yet. It's like 8 p.m. She doesn't land for a little bit she flew after work so it's kind of just been the adventures of like Turdy being lonely and like eating her way through the airport and Frisco the adventures of Turdy lonely Turdy lonely rebrand Turdy lonesome well I don't know if you know this but usually your vlogs are mostly you so we're used to that like even nashville we got a whole lot of dirty no i think there were like other people in the vlog i think there were lots of other like supplemental characters of course

it's our patreon like who should be the star abe i maybe honestly because of the prank call maybe yeah well you know really quick update from our show that aired on Wednesday I did get in contact with one of my teachers I totally forgot to tell you she texted me the one you were hoping to get in contact with no but I welcomed a welcomed contact nonetheless and it was so nice to be reconnected so you know what? It's all good. Also someone did comment on one of our various media images from Wednesday's episode that they know Ms. Scheinbein that she was her teacher in Israel and she's got the hookup. Oh my god she can connect me with Ms. Scheinbein? Yeah. Oh I didn't see that comment or else I would have literally responded immediately.

Yeah no I was in the comments because yesterday's episode was just so funny. I just wanted to see if everyone was chuckling along. Honestly, I think some of our best work. And we just rolled into the office. No, but it wasn't – I don't even know if it was our best work because sometimes our funniness is like really smart funny and just like – On point. And I wouldn't say it was like on point.

It was just like ridiculous. Unhinged. Yeah, no, I don't think it would be our most on point comedy ever. Like it wasn't, you know. Yeah. Like a State of the Union. It wasn't on point comedy. We were just having a good time.

It was just like sisterly like unhingedness. Sisterly nonsense. Sisterly nonsense. Yeah. And I'm hoping, you know, to go round two with Jackie O and Dirty. You might get some sisterly nonsense because when we have the sisters after dark, it's always a different flavor. Yeah, that's so true. Nighttime recordings get a little.

We are exhausted sisters. I'm a very, I think, patient person. And I do think like my patience is running low tonight so who knows what we'll get was Roldy I don't know if Roldy acting out no no he was great I don't know I well I did cook dinner so I was on my feet for a while and I guess that that wasn't the best idea knowing I had to podcast but I just today drained me turdy Marlo that's all you had to say. Listen, you're pregnant. Like, you're allowed to be tired. Like, give yourself some grace.

A lot of walking, the cooking. Like, I just, at 8 o'clock, I just kind of am, like, done for the day. And then here comes Turdy. Hey, girl, we actually have to podcast tonight. Yeah, but I'm all set up, and my complaining is done. I'm going to close the book. Okay, so officially it's over. We can't complain anymore.

I'm not going to complain, but I do. I'm still like feeling the way that I feel. So I just feel like Turdy's not going to get away with her typical turdiness. By the way, that's how I felt yesterday. Remember I told you I was like feeling down at the beginning of yesterday's episode. And not yesterday, sorry, Tuesday. And the toast has healing restorative properties. And by the end of it, I was feeling great. So maybe that'll happen to you maybe you'll get a second win

maybe you go for a run or something yeah for sure right yeah no maybe I'll be like well enough to read after this oh you know I'm reading my book for book club the one that Margo says is like literally I love this book so much it's the best thing that ever happened to me I love this book and me and Margo are like I know it you know You know it. You know which one I'm talking. I don't even have to say the title right. It's things in which we left in the mailbox. It's called things we leave unfinished and there is a mailbox on the cover. And so my book club chose it for their book club because Margo's saying such high praises and me and Margo have really similar tastes in book in books. And she was like you have to read it. You have to read it.

And I can't wait till she gets here because I have to tell her how I'm fucking hating this book. Like with my entire soul. Like it was making me angry on the plane that I had to read this book. I don't know how I'm going to break it to counts. I think she's going to be so devastated. And I'm 40% in. It's not nothing. Like, oh my God, it's just insufferably slow. Well, definitely vlog you telling her. Oh, good idea. Do like a hidden camera you're on camera we can get to see the real counts oh my god watch she like slaps me I feel like people don't know the real counts do you feel like they know her that's actually a really good question like and I don't think it's because she like obfuscates and and puts out a version of

herself that she's not but I just feel like it's so hard to peel away the layers and get to know the real counts that it's actually impossible for people who haven't known her for 26 years to be able to I also think she's extremely dynamic like I don't even know if I could pinpoint who the real Satch is you know like do we even know the real Counts? I don't know. I don't, like there's so many different versions of her and she's still very young. She's coming into her own. Maybe she doesn't even know the real Counts.

Interesting. Yeah. I think there's like a couple different versions of her that we know them all. But like, I wonder which one is the real her. It's like Kylie, you know? I feel like Kylie went through a period like that when they were filming Kardashians.

It was just, who was, hashtag, who was Kylie Jenner? Maybe when you're vlogging, you could ask Margot. Be like, by the way, I just have a question for you. Who's the real Counts? No, yeah, she worked a nine-to-five, got on a four-hour flight, and then is gonna come to the hotel and be like, shut the fuck up, you annoying, ugly bitch.

Sit her down like it's a confessional on Love is Blind, like on the bed. Yeah. And say, want to know who's the real counts like is she really that sweet little sis who just warms the heart or is she like that big scary cool girl fiery scared of fiery who we're scared of who we're scared of yeah who which sister would you say you're most afraid of you i would say you too i think that's good maybe it's because

we work together so there's like an added level no I mean yes sure whatever like but no it's you for sure why you know what maybe I don't want to know like am I gonna be hurt by your response no no I don't think you would be hurt but I don't know if I could put it to words when we were growing up we were all afraid of Olivia but like as we should have been she was like the scary older one and she held all the power because she was always in charge but I also feel like we're all weirdly scared of Margo now yeah because we just want her to love and accept us yeah but I actually feel like the argument like we are all in some way scared of Olivia. We're all in some way scared of you.

Okay. I feel like the intonation on all like was a little unnecessary fucking bitch. I think we're all scared of Trudy. Yeah. I think you guys would say like you're all scared of me. All the time. Yeah. And we are all scared of Margot. I think that's good because fear really does equal respect. No. Yeah. You need a's good because fear really does equal respect. No yeah you need

a healthy combo of fear and love. It's all about striking the right balance which I think that we've struck. Yeah also I was I feel like I was having this conversation with my like high school friends recently how like we all grew up like afraid of our parents and how like we're actually grateful for that now. And it sounds crazy like you're afraid of your parents. No but there was like a level of authority and fear like the same way you never want to be sent to the principal's office. Like that's a good thing. It keeps you in check. It needs to mean something.

Right. Like that level of authority. Yeah. Just a conversation I was having with my friends that I decided to share. Yeah no I don't think that is a hot take. Like I think that that is good parenting to have both fear. Instill fear and love in your children right right right because fear really does in my experience most of the time like equal respect

eventually yeah yeah yeah you can't have all fear no you can't have love without fear either otherwise you're just to walk all over you do you think are you ever afraid of your husband I sometimes am not your husband mine I'm trying like I don't because like I I guess but like more so in the way of like my imagination like not anything that has actually happened but like what I think could happen see mine is like because Ben you know I get away with a lot with Ben like I'm always like being annoying whatever you're worried he's gonna snap no no sometimes he does like sometimes I take shit too far and then I get really afraid because it's like it took this man a lot to get to this point like I've officially taken it too

far and then I'm afraid of him because like he has all the power you know yeah but it's because he does something that made you afraid or. No, no. Just because like, I guess, yeah, it's like imagination. It's imagination. Like, is this man about to fucking snap? No, but like, I'm sure our husbands would have the same answer. Like, are they afraid of us? Absolutely. Like they should be. Absolutely. They're afraid of us. They absolutely should be. But I actually don't think like you should be afraid of your husband. No, no, me neither. Because I do think husbands, husbands should be afraid I actually don't think like you should be afraid of your husband no no me neither because I do think husbands husbands should be afraid of their wives gender roles are real and like that's why I'm personally not for like gender equality because I would like my husband to be

afraid of me and I don't want to be afraid of my husband 100% and that's just pretty much my thesis on gender studies and I think you've nailed the course turdy loo do you think they'd ever let me teach a class on gender studies in any sort of accredited university maybe clown college but um do i feel like clowns are actually genderless that's like an amazing point they all wear the same kind of wig they all wear the same makeup and they wear the same outfits they're like these silhouette-less jumpsuits. It's not like the girl clowns wear a dress and the boy clowns wear a pant. No, because you're 100% right. Clowns are genderless. Actually, you couldn't teach there either.

I couldn't teach at clown college. Clowns are genderless. Like, I, this is a crazy revelation for me. Yeah. Oh, for me. Yeah. Oh my God. So you learn something new every day. When you listen to The Toast. Yeah.

Yeah. So we should dive in, correct? Because we have five stories. We do have five stories. So one, two, three, four, five. Five, right? Yeah. It's one less than six, but one more than four.

One less than six. Oh, so five. You could say five if you really wanted to, if you needed to put a number to it. Right. Like if we're putting labels on things, like it would be five. If we're putting labels on things, it would be the fast we're putting labels on things it would be the fast five oh now they're fast oh okay yeah they actually are pretty fast they're not like crazy substantial no no but I think they're gonna be a lot of fun I like it a lot you didn't give me enough time between yesterday's show and today's show I know I know

for more stories to happen hopefully like nothing crazy happens tonight that like by the time our episode like would have come out tomorrow like we could have done like an hour-long episode like Kim Kardashian gets secretly eloped or something you know you know what that never happens um it just it doesn't the only thing we're missing out on is not being able to recap Vanderpump rules sorry guys I I take this one on the chin like I'm just booked and busy and I'm so grateful It just, it does. And the only thing we're missing out on is not being able to recap Vanderpump Rules. Sorry, guys. I take this one on the chin. Like, I'm just booked and busy. And I'm so grateful to be so booked and busy.

And I'm sorry. Next week is the finale. So we'll have our recap then. Oh, wow. I'm excited. Yeah. Also, so random. I saw Lala did, like, another episode of her podcast, you know, Bombshells.

But one of the bombshells that she spoke that came out was that they actually have edited the final episodes of this season unlike andy said yeah what i heard when i said that last week was that andy maintained that they hadn't edited the next episode of like right after scannaball broke but they edited the season so So that would make sense. That would make sense. Whatever. Semantics. So now, without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And I'm jazzed because today's lead sponsor, Skims.

Thank you, Claudia.

You're welcome, Jackie. Our first story, some baby name news long awaited. The name of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's baby boy has finally been revealed. Are you ready? Have you heard it yet? I did. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have reportedly named their baby boy RZA Athelstan Mayers, according to Daily Mail. Their son is seemingly named after the producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan. So I'm not sure if it's pronounced RZA or RZA, but they're all capital letters, so I'm inclined to say RZA.

Oh, really? I'm inclined to say RZA like SZA. SZA is S-Z-A. That was like my initial association, but I'm inclined to say RZA. Oh, really? I'm inclined to say RZA, like SZA. SZA is S-Z-A. That was like my initial association, but I'm not entirely sure. This is giving Elon Musk. I just feel like it would be so me to say like RZA, and then people would be like, Jackie, it's RZA, you know? No, of course. That's like Elon Musk.

Like we were like trying to pronounce it. Yeah. No, a little different, but I do feel like um I don't know it's like very majeejan like I'm yeah I'm overthinking it I also feel like we will eventually learn like what they're calling the baby similar to how we found out like they were calling Elon Musk's baby x you know yeah baby x or angel remember they were calling him angel too yeah no they call him baby x right so maybe baby riz that's like actually really cute yeah really cute i wonder why now they've released the name it's just so interesting this new trend of like celebrities not telling us their baby names like for a really long time

yeah like i thought it was just a kard a Kardashian thing but no yeah I mean take all the time you need it's hard to name people it's hard to name people like maybe they're not telling us because they're having a hard time choosing yeah it's also just so interesting how like the the genesis of like celebrity baby announcements I feel like the one I remember like from growing up was when everybody wanted to know Angelina and know Angelina and Brad Pitt's baby's name and they were on the cover of People and it was like Shiloh and it was like the biggest deal, People magazine cover. And now they do it in like Instagram and like Instagram stories.

It's just so interesting how that's like evolved. Yeah. I feel like a celebrity baby name that always sticks out to me is Apple. Of course. Like she broke the fucking internet with that. Yeah. I feel like a celebrity baby name that always sticks out to me is Apple Martin. Of course. Like she broke the fucking internet with that. Yeah. She broke the printing press.

Yeah, it was before the internet. Like I remember literally where – that's actually such a good call because I literally remember where I was when someone was like Apple. And I was like, what? I was like six. I'm like, that's not a name. That's not a name. No, that's literally what I said. No, but it's actually a really cute name.

It's also kind of crazy how her kids are named apple and moses very biblical because moses is very traditional and apple is very new yeah but both moses and the apple were in maybe she's just like an old testament girl she does have like a jewish lineage gwyneth you think the apple was an ode to the garden of Eden I mean Eden would have been more obvious Eden and Moses but yeah it still could be Eve maybe their next um baby would have been like snake no no yeah I guess I never realized like those two names are like so polar opposite yeah get you a girl who can do both but then it's just weird how like celebrities release baby names and it's like so crazy to us and then over time they just become names like

North is a name yeah that's weird it is but you just get used to it right and then like if somebody else like in my life was like oh my baby's name is like Psalm I'm like oh so cute. Like it's a name now. Oh so cute. No I mean I guess like if somebody knew like name their baby Psalm I'd be like okay that's like weird but okay go off. Even it was just Psalm's birthday and they were singing happy birthday to him and in

the video like people didn't know what to call him. Like because I think they also call him like Sam and and like Sammy or I think it's like Psalm, Psalm-y, Sam, Sammy and when it was like happy birthday dear everyone kind of like flustered it was like a restaurant where we don't know the person's name. Yeah I was giving like Cold Stone Creamery energy that's a good call but also I also think everybody pronounces Psalm differently like you kind of say the L I just heard it psalm psalm but like I think it's psalm yeah I don't say psalm I don't say that word in a lot in my life so I kind of just go phonetically but I am a phonetic girl yeah I guess you're right. I'm hooked on phonetics. It's not a word we use.

It's a Catholic word, correct? It's a Christian word. I'm sorry. And is it, what does it mean? It means like chapter and verse, right? Yeah, it's like a Pasuk. Pasuk, yeah. Okay, I was thinking what like the Old Testament translation.

Yeah. Interesting, yeah. So I don't find myself saying it, but I do feel like everybody says it differently, which makes it hard to like have it as your name. Yeah. What do you think is Kim's best name? Or actually, what do you think is the Kardashians' best name?

For the grandkids. Okay, so we have North St. Chicago Psalm, Mason, Penelope, and Rain, Stormaloo, Air. True. Dream. Don't forget about Dream. And Tristan. I mean, what's his name?

Topper? What did they name him? Topper. Topper. No, they didn't. Tristan. Tristan. No, that's his father.

What? We just reported on it on this week what they named yeah it's um it's toffer topper tatum tatum i got stuck in obx land you know what maybe rain yeah but you know what i feel like it also depends on the nicknames because if we're going by nicknames i think shy is so cute but just names I actually love the name Penelope yeah so I guess we would say Courtney did in our in our opinion the most favorable and also Mason is such a popular name now and when she named him Mason it was like a pretty like new not popular name no you're right so she's kind of ahead of her time it's also so crazy like when you think about the times like there was such a long period of time in the kardashians where courtney was the only one who was a mom yeah because she got i think she got pregnant on accident but it was just like did she like she did not expect to be pregnant they were

not trying no i don't remember like i think remember they found out they found out like courtney and chloe take miami or whatever yeah that doesn't mean that they weren't trying that they like oh I guess that doesn't mean yeah because it's not like she wanted to be married or anything so right right yeah um what was the story Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. Oh, RZA. Yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait until she drops it in an interview or a podcast or something in terms of pronunciation. She should do a podcast.

We would love to have her. Yeah, we would. But she really should do any podcast. Like Armchair Expert. Yeah. Joe Rogan. It's so many years since she's really been very public. And so much has happened in her life. Yeah. Joe Rogan. It's so many years since like she's really been very public. And so much has happened in her life.

Yeah. I don't like. And she hasn't been very public like since podcasting has been what it is. Like. So true. We need a three hour Rihanna interview. So true. Oh also I don't know if you've seen footage.

Beyonce kicked off her renaissance tour. I saw one video. She looked unreal. The outfits are the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. I've only seen one outfit. Rainbow. And it was gorgeous. What?

Rainbow. Uh. Multi-colored? Multi-colored, yeah. Long sleeves, like mini dress? Yes. Same. Actually, I saw a few jumpsuits.

It looks like a production. Like it looks major. That's sick. I'm excited for everyone who's going and everyone is like you know gooped and gagged because in her pre-show playlist like while people filled in the stadiums there was Taylor Swift so everyone was like what does it mean means nothing it means it's a good fucking song and it's gonna bring the right energy to the stadium right and she's like a really popular artist and what do you play at like stadiums you play popular music right right glad that we sorted that one are you ready for our next story i really truly am andy cohen regrets not having megan markle

as a watch what happens live guest oh my god totally so andy revealed he regrets not having megan to watch what happens live during her time on Suits and before she married Prince Harry. Right. She was perfect for it. Perfect. In his recently released book, Daddy Diaries, he explained that Meghan had pitched herself as a fan of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but he had nixed her as a guest. He said, looking back at the offer, he made a huge mistake. He explained in his book that the reason he passed on her offer was that he always thought that suits looked like some simulation of a TV show to him. Like it was shot on tape and broadcast in a vacuum.

Agreed. I just want to say that is like a stunning analysis like of how a lot of people who don't watch suits and never did like perceive the show. Because it was on like USA which is like a fake ass fucking network. And like it weirdly had this cult following but there was like nobody famous in it that's actually so gorgeous and I didn't realize Andy's book was out I'm like a little annoyed that like these excerpts are coming out because I'm gonna read them but I like this stories like this make me want to read the book this this is the type of shit that like is perfect for a celebrity memoir Andy does memoirs really well yeah so he said that he managed to make amends with Megan when he was one of three male guests

on her podcast, Archetype. So I guess all's good there. But obviously, like, she's not going to the clubhouse now. No, of course not. When back in the day, she would have. And I'm sure, you know, he would have, between the games and the questions that they asked, there would have been some funny soundbites that came from it that we could all look back on now. She's probably immensely grateful that she was turned down. And she would literally. Like I think. I don't think there's actually a worse platform that she could go on. Because like she's very tight lipped. There's like a lot going on with her family and stuff.

And like Andy is just out of control. And the people come on. You know the Zoom. Like ask questions directly. Like it's chaos. Somebody who has like so much scandal. Like and just like chatter and gossip around them is not the right person for watch what happens live no but I think that if she did it like

there would be certain things that Andy would not ask about but in exchange for her giving like a little tea and maybe if she is a fan of some housewives like they would really just focus on like her on housewives honestly I think it would be really good for her to do something like that and to do interviews that are like less stiff than some of the stuff that she typically gives us. That's actually a really good point. It would be definitely like a one-on-one very similar to how like Jennifer Lawrence it was like this big special and they just basically brought out Jax and like all these Vanderpump Girls people to like talk to her. Right. Right. It wasn't even so much an interview but more like a super fan 30 minute thing for Jennifer Lawrence. And I feel like he could easily do

that with her. Yeah it's actually like a really good call. So I feel like he could easily do that with her. Yeah it's actually like a really good call. So I don't think it's out of the question. I wonder if they have any sort of um actually they probably have like a decent relationship because now that I think about it I didn't know that Andy was one of the few guests on her podcast but there was like not a lot of she doesn't like a lot of celebrity friends that like we see her out and about with. So she tapped Andy to come on her podcast. Like they obviously have a good relationship. That's like, I didn't know that. That's like kind of crazy.

There was like Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton on the podcast and like Andy. Yeah, but I mean, you remember like the highlight guests, but I think there were some random guests. And that was, he was on with three people. It was him, Trevor Noah, and Judd Apatow. Oh, wow. She had Candice Bushnell on.

She had Eliza Schlesinger. Meghan Markle had Candice Bushnell? Yeah. She had Eliza Schlesinger with Paris Hilton. Oh, my God. I missed, like, all of of this she had Jenny Slate Constance Wu interesting so it's they're not all Serena Williams no that's a good point thank you I only know about about her podcast like from what was pulled in the Daily Mail and page six

and I never like went to go listen so I didn't know that there was like a such a big slate of celebs like a panel of three three guests yeah it's like two to go listen. So I didn't know that there was like a such a big slate of celebs. Like a panel of three guests. Yeah it's like two to three guests per episode. Interesting. I didn't know that. Yeah. But and so really cool that he was on it. But he's exactly like who should be on it.

He's an interesting top of his game guy. Oh this actually makes me really excited for Andy's book. Once I get through this like dense ass book I'm currently reading. It is next on my list.

Like sometimes when I'm falling asleep like I have to talk to Bruno like as I'm falling asleep. Just you two? Um, usually Zach is there. He's not a part of it and

it's like annoying. Of course not. If he finds it very annoying, I'll be like, Justin Creston, Larson, Marson, whenever. But I'll be like, Strassen, krassen, lassen, massen. Like I just have to keep going. You also have to get that out of your system before you can actually sleep peacefully. You have to get that toxicity out of your system. No, it'll just bug you.

Strassen would never tell a lie, sandass and would never tell a lie sand he would never tell a lie sand and that's the damn truth and if he did i would cry sand oh my god i would

throw myself into the sky sand isn't it fun makes me want to eat a french fry sand some people count sheep other people larp i think just you but it's good i think i just turned you onto something 100 ben will never forgive you wait you want to hear the craziest thing i meant to tell you sure i went through tsa on my way to dallas and they like were so suspicious of my microphone they were wiping it down and and putting it in these machines. Like, we need to test. We need to test for explosives. I'm like, you're fucking kidding me, right? Literally, I got pulled over.

Thank God I was early. It's because this show is the bomb. Literally. I was like, ma'am, the only thing I'm guilty of is making sick podcast content on that thing. So stop. She did not think I was funny and like could tell and I was like it was she was like what is this I'm like my travel mic like is really weird looking so I'm like it's a podcast microphone I have a

podcast and then I was gonna be like maybe you've heard of it it's called the toast but she was like she'd be like no ma'am she didn't want to LARP like at all she was serious about her job which I respect you know security is important but like come on. I respect them taking it seriously but they could have just like Googled the brand name on your microphone and went on with their day. No it's just like it's a microphone. I always feel bad when I see moms in security who are traveling with their breast milk because they're always fucking with people's breast milk.

Like they're like testing it and shit and it's like stop fucking touching that no like get your dirty fucking mitts out of there no literally like i've seen it a few times and the moms get so upset it's like don't fucking start with me do you know like this is gold to me and they're like opening it up like don't get your dirty germs in there that's disgusting yeah yeah no they're really doing a great job isn't it crazy to think about that tsa is like a post 9-11 agency like before 9-11 like did you just waltz onto planes i don't remember i guess so that's what i've heard metal detector we were alive but we were young did you walk through like a metal detector like

what was life like pre-9-11? I don't know. And that's why when you watch like old rom-coms, people just like run through the airport. Like that actually was possible back in the day. I don't know. It doesn't seem likely. You still need a ticket. Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are reflecting on Freaky Friday 20 years later and giving an update about a sequel so the two co-stars reunited for an interview with the New York Times in honor of the movie's 28 year anniversary that's nice it is nice they gave some really sweet 28 20 okay I was like there's no way I'm the same age as that movie no no no no it came out in 2003 directed by Mark Waters and also starring Mark Harmon Chad Michael Murray Harold Gould and more it saw mother and

daughter Tess and Anna switch bodies and literally walk in each other's shoes so Lindsay recalls as an 11 year old the parent traps felt so big to me I threw myself into everything accents green screens playing two people so I felt comfortable after that. Freaky Friday felt different because I was going through all of the faces of a 16-year-old but playing a character who was a year younger. She said this was the era of Avril Lavigne and punk and I wanted to experience it. We did white stripes in my hair. I put the colorist Tracy Cunningham through hell because I took my nice red hair and just bleached it.

Jamie Lee Curtis recalled signing on to the role days before she got to set after another actress dropped out. Who? Who? We need to know. I don't know. I'm going to Google it. Hold on. She said, had I had all the time in the world to prepare, I don't think it would have been so good. I just had to be in my body.

I was also newly sober, and I was able to have a community within the movie work world. That was a big deal for me. Annette Bening. I have to Google who that is familiar yeah oh you know this bitch like I can't tell you what she's from but like she's a classic she's from American Beauty Death on the Nile yeah she would have been good too I'm sorry no nobody could have done it the way Jamie Lee did. It was perfection. And honestly, her having like that pixie cut was perfect. But so does Annette.

Oh, good call. Fabulous call. No, it's just like how Rachel McAdams also could have done Devil Wears Prada. But she couldn't have. No, but she literally could have and it would have been really great. I know that's like not the point of the article, but I am hyper fixating on the fact that like we almost didn't get Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday. Yeah so they also shared some of their fun memories and I guess they've like stayed pretty close over the years.

And they're both down for a sequel. They've been open about wanting to do a sequel and nothing's happened yet but they've been teasing that it's going to happen. You know knowing what we know about Jamie Lee Curtis from her recent stint on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills it doesn't shock me that she's like stayed in contact and probably like looked after Lindsay Lohan a little bit over the years because she really seems like such a nice lady yeah I totally agree it's not surprising like just a queen who like looks out for her fellow woman especially like a young woman in the industry she was a young woman in the industry you know she started out very young and I I really like I

I love Jamie Lee Curtis like I never thought I'd say that especially because she has a pixie cut which is a haircut I'm like totally against yeah I know that's really big of you I'm growing up Jackie right in front of your eyes love is blind next thing you know I'm growing up, Jackie, right in front of your eyes. Love is blind. Next thing you know, I'm going to have a pixie cut. You know, I was listening to new Kelly Clarkson. So fucking good. And like she says in her song, how love is blind. And she says it like in a negative way.

Meaning? Like love is blind. She loved him so much. Like she couldn't see him for who he really was. And it just got me thinking about this show because they came up with like a whole like concept for a show based on this idea like love is blind but maybe at the end of the day like love is blind is like love being blind is not a good thing like love blinds you there's different interpretations of it and yes

like they're talking about like physical appearance, being blind to physical appearance. But what Kelly's talking about is actually I think a more profound, deep interpretation of the phrase. Like how you can become blinded to a person's faults and how they make you feel just because you just love them so much. Blinded by love. Yeah. So like inadvertently Kelly just like took down that show. Like they thought they were doing something over there. Proving that love is blind as if that's some good thing but they're just being clowns gender fluid

clowns her power her power knows no bounds like the way she's just kind of taken down an entire franchise and she didn't even try that wasn't even what she set out to do just like one of the many That wasn't even what she set out to do, just like one of the many collaterals. And all she said was, love is blind. She just sang the title of the show and it just made me see it differently. Oh, she didn't like explain herself? No, she's like trashing him and in the middle of trashing him, love is blind. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Jackie's version.

So unkind. So good good that is very interesting um i just want to say like on the record while i loved freaky friday with all of my heart and i was definitely very influenced by it as a young girl i truly don't need a sequel like i'm good unless lindsey lowen is gonna put that shit back in her hair and go to the house of blues and sing you're it you're the old man that would just make me sad then I don't want it yeah no unless it's gonna be like just a great movie that happens to be a sequel like if it's about like Lindsay Lohan's daughter and they make the movie again and it's just like so with the times good product like if it is what for these kids what it was for us. So it's Lindsay Lohan's daughter.

Obviously Jamie Lee Curtis is a grandma. But then who swaps bodies? Lindsay and her daughter. And Jamie Lee tries to like usher them through. She is also like a counselor, right? Like that's her job? Yeah. No, she was an author.

Yeah, like an author. But she had just written a book. But yeah, I think she was like a psychotherapist. Senescence. Right. So she should be able to shepherd those two through it. That's actually a good call. And I want to say like actually a fun fact. They say you don't learn anything from movies.

I only know what the word senile and senescence means because of that movie. Because when she's reading it she goes senescence like senile oh oh oh and then she's on the talk show like talking about being old I only know the definition of that word I'm sure I would have learned it eventually but I was eight when the movie came out and that's how I knew what it was you were eight yeah because you said it's 28 years old yeah you said it's 20 and I'm 28 that's like young to be watching like a movie bitch i think about that all the time don't you think i think about that all the time that i maybe i didn't see it like the day it came out but i definitely saw it like the year it came out because we had it on

i think about that all the time because like how much older is olivia than me like four years three years okay i guess that's like not that old but like we were but we've always been girls who like we're at the center of pop culture and like had our finger on the pulse of what was going on and that meant watching Degrassi when we were far too young for it yeah Degrassi tackled some really tough topics but we knew that we were too young for Degrassi I feel like so much of the stuff that we watched that like was age appropriate like yeah we watched Lindsay Lohan Freaky Friday and it's not like there's anything inappropriate about it it's just like we're eight yeah like aren't you watching Barney when you're eight you're like in like a first grade are you first grade when you're eight no

I think you're like third fourth grade oh I don't fucking know see like I I cannot conceptualize like kids and ages. Yeah, just like Elking's son is four when, oh, by the way, he's one and a half. He's so cute. Yeah, he's one and a half. And you'd think like now in the last few years like watching Kay grow up and like having frames of reference. Okay, before I like knew any kids personally,

not being able to identify how old a particular toddler is, I guess it's kind of normal. But I should should know now I'm like a very involved auntie but all kids are different yeah some are tall some are short is Harry tall he's average no he's not don't you dare he is so above average that's so sweet i'll tell him you said that you better i miss him so much come back i am planning on it great i'm not moving to frisco don't worry even though it's a lovely town i've heard great things have you been to frisco no i'm sure your husband has yeah yeah it's it's you're like outside of dallas yeah it was like really quick from the airport honestly are you ready for our next story what number is it four

yeah so it's like not the last one but also not the middle one so when you say four can you just dive into that a little bit more? Because I'm just feeling like unclear. Yeah, no. So it would be like the one after the third. Not quite the fit though. Right. So would you, it's before five, yeah?

Yes. It's before five. Oh, that's a good way to like remember it. That's a good way to remember it. Okay. four five oh that's a good way to like remember it that's a good way to remember it okay our next story imagine dragons performs at the netflix picket line in support of the writer's strike okay i saw a meme i knew it was fake but it was the funniest thing they're like really smart idea for netflix to send imagine dragons to the writer's strike so they all leave and go back to work yeah i saw a tweet that was like that's not fair of you guys to subject the writers to Imagine Dragons and it's like wait when did we all decide that we don't like Imagine Dragons I love Imagine Dragons you didn't it was like a funny joke but I'm not gonna subscribe like Imagine Dragons is

extremely talented that guy is very hot he's allegedly dating Minka Kelly and they have bangers like I'm not I'm not I'm joking around like I'm not being serious yeah no like I just don't even know where that joke would come from like people are acting like it's like Nickelback yeah and by the way like we could I could have this conversation about Nickelback like and so I just don't want I feel like when Nickelback was kind of dragged through the mud and slandered and like defamed I was too young to stand up for them and I didn't have a platform I didn't have a voice I didn't know how to use it and now that I'm of age like I'm not gonna let this happen again to a perfectly lovely band did you see that Lewis Capaldi brought out the lead singer of Nickelback on his he's on like a big stadium tour and sang

like an acoustic version of Rockstar and like everyone was screaming the song at the top of their lungs no I didn't know that and I'm not surprised I fucking love Lewis Capaldi so much like you know that I literally he's like every year one of my top artists I just like I absolutely love his music and it doesn't surprise me that he's doing king shit no that's do I look surprised no he should have been at the coronation though. Oh yeah. Yeah. Hmm. But he is currently on like a world tour, so that's like a good reason to not be. Yeah.

Well, the Grammy winning band took to the Netflix picket line on Tuesday to show its support for the writers striking in LA and New York. Piano player Dan Reynolds and electric guitarist Daniel Wayne Sermon performed Radioactive and Whatever It Takes. The musicians joined a number of celebrities who have hit striking locations across both major cities to show their support like pete davidson who handed out pizzas in brooklyn ted lasso writers and stars jason tudeikis brett goldstein and brendan hunt cynthia nixon bowen yang and jay leno love brett goldstein i know uh jay leno brought donuts to the strikers i also love jay leno you do yeah i just like think

he's cute is that weird that's really off brand is it because i like hate like everyone in late night yeah but he hasn't been in late night in like 10 years but he's kind of like the king of sort of like the inventor of all these people that you hate. To me, he was like part of the last great era of, like Late Night for a while was like peak comedy, Johnny Carson. Okay, but what about Letterman? He just slipped through the cracks as like a talentless hack. I fucking hate, fucking hate Letterman. Like he doesn't know it.

He's my nemesis. What about Johnny Carson? Hate. I mean, what he did to Joan. Yeah. Unforgivable. I don't care how funny or talented people claim he was. I don't support it. He's problematic. Cancel Johnny Carson. Hate. I mean what he did to Joan. Yeah. Unforgivable. I don't care how funny or talented people claim he was. I don't support it. He's problematic. Cancel Johnny Carson. So you hate

everyone in late night. So you hate everyone in late night. Yeah I guess. I guess I do. Except for Jay Leno. I guess I do. I don't know there's some maybe honestly it's because he's like chubby and cute. Like I find him endearing and very non-threatening. A hundred percent it's the chubbiness but what about James Corden? I like him too yeah again no I just like think about people who have like actually made me laugh and I feel like I've laughed at Jay Leno and I've laughed at James Corden and that's pretty much it I've never laughed at Jay Leno but I don't think I've ever been like served Jay Leno on a platter. I think there's something there. I do.

I do. Maybe this is just like. No I think I'm right. Is he like on Comedians in Cars and have a good episode or something? Oh by the way. That might be it. Yeah. That would be a good reason.

What the fuck happened to Comedians in Cars getting coffee? The Jerry Seinfeld Netflix show that hasn't had a season since 2019. They ran out of comedians and they ran out of cars. They definitely ran out of comedians because they were double dipping with people who like weren't that interesting. And I'm glad it's still- And they were like starting to show us cars

that I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I've seen that one. Cool Subaru. The cool Volkswagen. Right. And they definitely ran out of comedians, honestly. Yeah, there are people who have been on it like more than once, which is just weird.

Yeah, actually, I feel like he could do another season and have people who have already been on because, you know, they're legends, whatever. But also there are a lot of like constantly new up-and-coming comedians. Like I'd rather see Tim Dillon up there shaking that thing. Right, like Andrew Schultz. There actually is like a new generation of like podcast Instagram, Patreon who like sell out huge arenas.

Yeah. Yeah. Was Joe Rogan ever on it? No. Really? Yeah. Comedians in cars getting coffee. Joe Rogan.

No, it's like Reddit. No, the thing is. He should be on. But he, like Jerry, like never really ever like chose guests who weren't like traditional comedy the comedy club snl writers room like that trajectory which is like the very old school way of becoming a comic like open mic you know in the same three clubs he never like dipped his toe into like having and highlighting comedians who came up through the digital age except mir Sings was like the

one time he went digital and I think he said it was because like his daughter loves her and she did the whole thing in like her Miranda character and like it wasn't great yeah I'm looking at the most recent seasons because I do feel like he had some people who were not so traditional but no even like um it was very much like Ellen Steve Harvey like that he had Bridget Everett I fucking love you should watch her HBO show what's it called I have heard it's very good like someone somewhere I think I've heard of it it's like her and her friend they live in this like turnt small town and it's like she's like a serious actress in it but it's still very funny and I don't know much about it but I know you like her and I've actually heard it's quite good okay cool and I hear it's like on the verge of getting canceled so if

like you want to start I think that'll pretty much put the nail in the coffin you know that's really funny it's really like I thought you were gonna say so if you guys want to start and like support you know we could use our platform Thanks. That's really like, I thought you were going to say, so if you guys want to start and like support, you know, we could use our platform. But no, you're right.

So a new show on Netflix that's centered on Queen Charlotte's rise to prominence and power, this Bridgerton-verse prequel tells the story of how the young queen's marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton. So I love this show.

It's now streaming on Netflix and it's basically just a prequel to Bridgerton but it tells you all about Queen Charlotte who we know and love from the show and what's so great is that it's a story about how young Charlotte come to came to be who she is but it also has young Agatha Danbury young Violet Bridgerton and we're going to learn how these ladies came to be the beloved and revered characters that they are in Bridgerton you'll learn how they found their place in power all while navigating their personal passions and politics. Of course it's written by Shonda Rhimes she's also the executive producer so you know it's good. And what's great one of the things we all love about Bridgerton it's very steamy and I can confirm the chemistry between young Queen Charlotte

and her young King George is very steamy it's giving smut the series has all the elements of Bridgerton that you know and love like sex romance scandal and of course the ton. So it's giving smut. The series has all the elements of Bridgerton that you know and love, like sex, romance, scandal, and of course, the ton. So it's the love story to inspire all love stories, the kind of love that the entire ton aspires to for themselves. It's the myth that has set everything. So it is now streaming on Netflix. It is only available on Netflix, and you can watch it now. You guys are going to love it. I love it. If you love Bridgerton, if you love sexy, steamy romance, if you love something, you know, with beautiful women and beautiful gowns and beautiful makeup and beautiful wigs, this show is for you. The actress who plays young Queen Charlotte is so pretty and she's so talented. I've been loving it and I think you guys are going to

love it too. So enjoy Queen Charlotte, A Bridgerton Story. Watch now only on netflix thanks tardy luya i am a happy snapper yeah you are our fifth and final story is a little update in the streaming wars because hulu and disney plus content will be combined into one app which makes sense as they're both owned by disney disney will be combining hulu content with Disney Plus content into one app in the U.S. CEO Bob Iger announced on Wednesday. The company will begin to roll out the new app by the end of the calendar year. For now, this option will only be available to consumers

who have subscribed to both services. So they'll continue to offer Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus as standalone options. This is a logistical progression of their DTC offerings that will provide greater opportunities for advertisers, blah, blah, blah, said Bob Iger. I want to know what it's going to be called. Oh, okay. We could come up with names.

I just want to say I'm actually surprised that it took them this long. I've always found it very confusing. Like knowing that Disney owns a million things like Hulu, like ESPN, like why they all just don't have like one kind of like Peacock like how everything on Bravo NBC why they don't just have like one kind of umbrella streamer. This is a little bigger than NBC. Much bigger. Because it's like ABC it would be like Peacock plus Netflix like yeah so I understand everyone had to come together also like Disney owns a stake of Hulu but not all of Hulu Comcast also owns some of Hulu it's very confusing um but I oh I totally thought it was just like a Disney company

no no interesting yeah there's some shares that are being so I wonder why Comcast is okay with like Disney taking Hulu, you know? Yeah, but like it is kind of confusing. Like I feel like it can't just be called Disney Plus with like Hulu there because Hulu is its own brand, you know? Oh yeah, and they have like original content. Right, and people are attached to Hulu. Yeah.

So I feel like they need a new name, but they're not going to have like another parent company when they have all of these really strong brands. Yeah, well, what is the parent company technically? Disney. Yeah, I guess, like, ESPN going in Disney would kind of make sense. I think, like, a lot of people know that Disney owns ESPN. But Hulu going under the umbrella of Disney, like, wouldn't be easy for people to digest.

Because we're, like, freaks who know everything about like the streaming landscape the streaming wars but most people don't yeah I feel like what if they have it be an app it's called like Walt Walt Max I don't hate it I don't love it Walt Max yeah like maybe that's not it or what if it's like walt plus again it's like not really rolling off the tongue for me okay if you guys have a good call as to what this app should be called like feel free to drop a comment i'm i imagine they're struggling because beyond get a more known brand name than disney so like to take the disney out of disney like what are you going to replace it with that's even going to come close not only that but these are like three really

recognizable standalone brands ESPN Hulu like that's what you know brands can only dream of like oh like Hulu has become almost a verb you know so to give that up is kind of weird and I don't know what a better name would be rebranding is the for like these big ass companies not even that this is a rebrand but it really is so difficult yeah unless they just called it like plus you know kind of like how HBO Max is max million oh that's true but they should just call it Iger plus yeah but he's so transient there like last year he was out this week he's in speaking of they should call it miska muska plus what about hot dog hot diggity dog plus or just like diggity dog love that that. Speaking of. What about. No. I literally have it.

Okay. Oh Toodles Plus. Love. Oh Toodles. Speaking of CEOs. I attempted to watch. I am two episodes behind of Succession. So I attempted to watch it on the flight.

It made the flight feel like 15 hours. I didn't even get through one whole episode. They go to LA to like check on their movie studio or whatever. It's so abysmal. Like it's horrible. Abysmal. Unwatchable actually. I can't believe there are people who sit around and watch the episodes

and say like this is the best show on television in the last 10 years. And then they finish the episode and they're like give them all the Emmys. No like don't. No don't. No like give them all the Emmys. No, like don't. No, don't. No, like give the Emmy to Molly Shannon for her work in the other two. Give the Emmy to Ken Todd. Can you believe Raquel spent the night at Tom Sandoval?

Yeah. I just think of thousands of others. Right. Sorry sorry I didn't mean to get you off track to I was just like to complain about yeah you didn't mean to like get off track from our brainstorm because that's what we were doing and I just know that Bob is listen Bob's daughter is listening like hoping that we actually come up with the name yeah I did like kind of derail the brainstorm because I genuinely cannot think of one decent idea like this is so hard it's really hard unless they just like come up with a new word which is what a lot of times people try and do but I don't think that really ever works what if it was like dooloo okay it's honestly not bad his knee no like dooloo plus disney hulu and espn plus his knee plus his knee her knee

my knee their knee yeah me their knee their knee and friends no it's not cutting it jacks i'm sorry it's not good okay well there's no such thing as a bad idea as long as, like, we're all contributing and putting ourselves out there. Right, and I'm really not contributing. I told you I cannot think of one thing to name this app. You could always go Brass and Stress Plus. Ooh. Wait. I like it.

Strong. I don't know, because... I like it. I like it strong i don't know because um i like i like it so a couple of free bad ideas take them or leave them that's just kind of like what we do here you know yeah that's a lot of what we do um so i'm headed to the acm smart is anybody you like want me to see on the carpet and like chat to should i bring up bring up? Chat to? Are you British? Can I believe for a chat? Do you want me to bring up to Luke Holmes like his pronoun like saga that he works in the market as a checkout girl?

Because I'll do it. If the vibe is right. Yeah. Like is that something you want me to wait for you like the next year when we. No I don't know when I'm going to see Luke again. I Luke again and by then I'll have like you know new things to obsess over but I just wonder is it like every time you sing it is like rats that bothers me or do you even know no so I actually think when you're like an artist who covers famous songs a new thing people do is like they change the pronouns to make it accurate for them

like if it's a song from a girl's perspective they just change it to like the boy pronouns and part of me actually really respects that he just left the perfect song like it's it's a perfect song for a reason like people have loved this song for like 30 years so part of me actually really respects that he didn't like change it for his own image you know yeah he's just like the manliest man no it's crazy that he has like fox in the hen house and then he calls himself a girl like it's weird I get it and I was wrong I thought that he actually did change the lyric so you work in the market as a checkout like talking to the girl but I was wrong which I always am which should be a shock to nobody. So yeah, if the vibes are good and you feel like he would be open to talking about it,

then yeah, ask him for sure. Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping me and Margot get a few minutes with him. He's so busy. He's one of like the most nominated people to be here tomorrow night. Did you also see Morgan Wallen posted on his story today? Like just like something being like people really talking about the side of their necks. I kind of felt like he was talking about us, but our conclusion was that we believed him.

And I'm sorry for him to assume like nobody's going to question this. Like, sorry, given his track record, like we just wanted to do our due diligence. Yeah. And we came to the conclusion that he was talking to. If you see him, why don't you, like maybe you could ask him who's talking out of the side of their necks. You know what?

He'll be like, you bitch. It's literally you. Shut the fuck up. Stop talking about me on your podcast. That's literally what he's going to say. Just be like, but we believed you. We just need to get, we need to talk it through. We're talkers.

That's why we have a podcast, Morgan. Yeah. Who else is going to be there? I'll tell you what to ask them. Well, I actually. Dolly Parton well I actually Dolly Parton you could I'm hoping to get up close to Dolly because have you seen this conspiracy theory about her hands no okay and I thought it was crazy but like now when I see pictures I'm like oh she wears prosthetic she wears like gloves that are like prosthetic hands like they're made out of like skin like technology so she like move her fingers but like it's not her skin I believe it I believe that was interesting I think that's smart

and Garth Brooks her Dolly and Garth are hosting Dolly and Garth are hosting hmm so my question for Dolly would be did you get a chance to listen to the Redheads episode about Run, Rose, Run? And what did you think about the girls' assessment? Yeah, I definitely think if I bring up Run, Rose, Run, like nobody else on the carpet is bringing up the random book she co-authored with James Patterson. Right, I feel like that's a good way to break the ice. And to be different, not like other interviewers. Yeah, and I think they are making it into like a movie or something so maybe just like throw away around some casting ideas are you gonna do an original song already did she wrote a whole album for the book but yeah cool

cool cool I'm so glad I didn't ask and then for Garth Brooks I would say have you heard of Girth Brooks? No, what I would say is, how does it feel to have your song, like you have so many accomplishments, but I would argue your biggest one is your song being covered in Country Strong. What did that movie mean to you? Yeah, that's a good one. I think that's like a pretty good place to start. So I think you all have what you need.

Yeah, no, my research here is done. I'm excited to watch you on the Amazon Fashion Snapchat. Yes, Jax, thanks so much for recording with me tonight. I know you're like a busy mom and I'm just like an animal who doesn't plan things and I really appreciate you. No, you plan this totally fine. It's literally fine.
