Good morning, girlies, it's the Toast.
It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts.
It's your favorite show, the fast five things you need to know.
We'll start your day off swirly, it's the Toast.
They sound amazing.
Welcome back to the toast. Happy Monday.
You know what? It's not an entirely terrible Monday. Do you want to know why?
Because it's the Monday of the week that you're coming to New York. And this is our last week doing remote pen pal podcasting
until September.
Until I'm a mother.
So let's enjoy this week.
Okay, okay.
Next week is gonna be so fun
because we'll be podcasting together
and we have so much fun stuff planned
and that's a different sort of fun,
but like last week of routine,
last week of.
Regularity.
What's the word?
Like comfort, habit. Habit. Yeah, like the reg. I love habit
as I love change too, but I also love habit. Nobody loves habit more than me. That's true.
And speaking of habits, one I found myself in this, heavily inspired by my sister Jackie, because I do listen to my sister.
And I feel as though I've proved that
like time and time again, but sure.
And definitely the window's getting shorter
from like time I tell you about something to time
that you do it because this was record time.
Okay, but like, who are you stalling?
I have to do with the second you say, like I did it.
You're watching a show and you're like raving about it
and you're talking about it on this show.
I feel the need to watch it. If I'm on this show, I feel the need to watch it.
If I'm gonna watch it,
I feel the need to watch it like right now
so we can talk about it together.
It's literally still airing.
We are talking about it together.
Were you getting season finale vibes from the last episode?
No.
Because there was no like next week on.
By the way, so the show we're talking about.
The greatest show on earth, Paul American.
This is the greatest show.
And let me tell you. What do you think? I've never seen a show like this, Paul American. This is the greatest show. What do you think? And let me tell you,
I've never seen a show like this in my life.
Like you guys.
And when Jackie was saying it,
I'm like, she's seriously so weird.
And I'm not a Paul Brothers fan.
I don't really, I obviously know them.
I don't keep up with them.
I'm not their intended audience
for their content or their brands.
Let me tell you, the show has infiltrated every crevice of my brain.
I thought it would be a good thing to watch with Ben,
because I know he finds them really interesting too,
especially like their business acumen.
You cannot deny how really smart they are.
They don't get enough credit for,
they're both worth like almost $200 million each.
Like it's insane.
So I knew Ben would like that.
And I just wasn't expecting to learn so much
about their family dynamic and them as people
and like literally fall in love with Jake Paul.
Like, I'm sorry, it's the Jake show.
I have so many thoughts on every single character,
but like they pale in comparison to my king, Jake.
Jake in Utah, like I,
if I don't get invited to their wedding, seriously kill me.
I'm obsessed with Utah.
And I think that like, we all think we know Jake Paul, right?
Like he's Jake Paul, like, oh.
The fact that he has fallen in love
with this like deeply accomplished driven woman,
when like, you know, guys like that,
all women are great.
But yeah, like he has chosen a life with someone
who needs to live in the other side of the world
for 10 months out of the year.
Like, I don't know, I think there's so much more to Jake Paul, especially he seems like
a really healed person.
Like he didn't mention therapy and I know he does like ayahuasca and spiritual like
reiki and stuff, but he these are things I never would have thought or said he's a deeply
emotionally intelligent person.
Yeah, he did.
He did mention therapy that he started therapy.
Yeah, especially in the episode I watched last night,
which feels like the season finale, episode six,
he does Ayahuasca with his dad.
It's all about how they grew up.
It's like an emotional episode.
And really what I appreciate about the show
is that they're giving everything to the show.
They're not skimping.
They're not saying, we're not going here.
They're airing it all out
because they want this show to have the best chance
of success. Yeah, for some reason, they're airing it all out because they want this show to like have the best chance of success.
Yeah, for some reason, they're very committed to this show.
It's not just like a thing for them to do.
I feel like if I'm with them, it's like,
if we're gonna do it, let's do it.
And it has to be different from their other content.
It can't just be like the highlight reel.
That's their Instagram, that's their YouTube.
Like it has to go deeper.
So there's no point in doing it
if it's just gonna stay on the surface.
So they really went everywhere.
They leave in like all these cancelable quotes from people,
even though they obviously at this point can't be canceled.
As Logan said, the show could be canceled,
but they can't be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's very raw.
And like whatever the experience that I'm having
with Jake Paul, I'm having like the opposite with Logan.
Like the thing is you're either a Jake or a Logan girl
and I'm such a Jake girl.
And again, I didn't really know,
I knew a little bit of like when they moved to LA,
they ended up like drifting apart,
the whole Alyssa Violet thing,
but it's obviously much deeper than that.
And it's still like sort of rings,
but they had that big fight about the podcast.
I was so team Jake.
Mike Tyson. Oh yeah, but that big fight about the podcast. I was so team Jake. Mike Tyson.
Oh yeah, but what he said on the podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like who's he gonna fight next,
Muhammad Ali.
I'm so team Jake, like that was so rude.
Yeah.
So there are these like lingering brotherly issues
that I feel like Logan is like kind of that toxic,
stereotypical, like doesn't wanna talk things through,
you know, not deep type of person.
Whereas Jake is like very, embraces that sort of
like girlier side of himself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's like really sweet to see this like big boxer
like wanna have those conversations.
But it's like talking to a brick wall with Logan.
And I think Logan is trying hard and caring a lot
about what, how he's perceived on the show.
I think Jake is really being himself.
And so Logan is trying to be authentic and open and honest
and say things that like, you know,
I shouldn't say this out loud, but,
and it's like, no, actually you shouldn't say that out loud.
Like some of the things he was saying,
I'm like, that's not you being open and honest.
That's just like kind of a window
into like you being really fucked up.
Like a lot of the conversation about the fact
that he was having a daughter,
like I get it, gender disappointment is totally valid
and my God, let it go.
Like months later, the baby's about to be born
and we're still talking about it.
Like it was just, it was a little much.
I just, I found his scenes and his scenes are more in line.
Like I'm going through the same thing him and Nina are
right now.
Like I, you would think that that is, no,
I was like seriously about to skip.
I'm like, give me Jake and Utah or give me nothing. It's so funny because while I was
watching, I didn't have such like a different opinion of Jake and Logan. I'm just like the
Paul brothers. And I, like, I thought about how they fight and like, there's definitely like this
undercurrent that they try to stay above jealousy. Yeah. I think it's, I think it's what they call
sibling rivalry, you know, and and how everybody always talks about sibling rivalry
as if it's a universal experience,
and we always say we just don't feel that way,
but I think that that's what that is.
But I feel like how I was receiving it
was that there's an element of jealousy coming from Logan.
But it's not for,
it's not because Jake is even that that much more successful than like he is not.
Yeah, they both have very big things going on.
They're maybe Jake, I think I checked their,
like maybe he has a couple hundred thousand
more Instagram followers,
but it's like negligible the difference in success.
So what is he?
Logan's net worth is higher.
What would he be jealous of?
I don't know, like just that it's a younger brother.
I don't know, but that's just sort of the vibe I was getting.
I also found it very interesting that like,
Logan shows up 100% for Jake.
Like every press conference, every weigh-in, every fight.
And Jake was not there for any of his like big WWE stuff.
Like the whole family, they go to everything,
which I loved.
It's like, Nina goes to Jake's fights.
Like everybody's so supportive.
But Jake, and maybe it's cause he was like training Jake's fights. Like everybody's so supportive, but Jake,
and maybe it's cause he was like training for a fight.
You can't be like traveling or whatever,
but he like doesn't show up for Logan.
Oh, I didn't even realize that,
but I also feel like Jake has a fight once or twice a year,
maybe three times and Logan in the WEE is like,
maybe doing that every weekend at a certain point.
So it's like, of course they're going to go
to three fights out of the year.
And they're the-
No, but the big one in Cleveland with the big-
Yeah, Summer Slam. With the, with the're the no but the big one in Cleveland with the big
With the with the big jump. Yeah, where was Jake?
Right. He wasn't there but the whole family was yeah, that is weird. It does it does feel like Jake's stuff is more important
But like it is yeah, no, but maybe that just higher stakes. Maybe everyone's like fine with that
Maybe I just I need more. Like I need more.
I thought the whole season was out.
I'm like cruising through the episode.
Then it's like, oh, new episode just released.
Here's your last one. Excuse me.
No, yeah, it's episodic every Thursday.
And I don't know.
I feel like that might have been the end of the season
or maybe like part way.
There was no next week on.
They started serving me up like some Belushi show.
Yeah, you know, I got Belushi too.
Yeah, they're trying to like launch Belushi
off the back of Paul.
No, you guys, the Paul show is the best show
I've literally ever seen.
Love them or hate them.
Or I feel like I felt ambivalent about them before.
Like I really, it is such a window
into such an interesting lifestyle.
And they, I actually am, I knew they were wealthy.
Though their quality of life, like it's insane.
Like the planning of the wedding.
So what I was saying is before I watch,
before you watch, I was like, oh, the Paul brothers,
like my opinion of them was just like the same.
And then you were like, no, I love Jake, I hate Logan.
And so you've successfully like made me hate Logan.
So when I watched the last two episodes,
everything you said-
I didn't make you hate anyone. Logan made me hate Logan.
No, I know, but like, I was able to see them apart.
But also the fifth or sixth episode really.
Shows how different they are.
It was more about their differences as brothers.
And you know, I have to tell you who put me on
to like really point.
So I was DMing with Girlbostown.
She was like, I'm obsessed with the show.
And she was like, they're really very,
they mirror their parents a lot.
And I think that like Logan is much more
like in the image of his father
and Jake is much more like his mom,
like very sensitive and the mom is so sweet.
And I'm sorry, like when they were talking about the divorce
and how like the mom, how Greg made sure everyone knew,
the kids knew, mom cheated.
Like she did cheat, first of all, like she fell in love.
And I just like hated Greg so much.
And I see a little bit of his like narcissism in Logan.
And I see a lot of like the mom's sweetness in Jake
and like very innocent.
They said that like Nina will sometimes be like to Logan
like your Greg is showing.
What'd you think about Nina and Logan?
I think that what I thought of them before the show
might've been a little bit more idyllic.
I was like, oh, look at this Logan,
this like meathead falling in love, having a baby,
and he's obviously changed.
And then he watched the show,
I'm like, no, he hasn't changed, he's just Logan.
And she just like puts up with it.
She's so patient, no, but she finds him so funny.
Like she's always laughing at his jokes. She's so patient. No, but she finds him so funny. Like she's always laughing at his jokes.
She's so patient.
Like every dumb thing.
I mean, she would have to.
Yeah, I know, but like she, I don't think she's faking it.
Like I think they like really are in lockstep.
I really like, I think they're really cute.
And I think she's such a value add for the show.
Agreed, but I'm sorry, like Utah over here,
like I die for Utah and that drama
with her speed skating team.
Like.
I hadn't seen that when you told me that you loved Utah.
So I didn't know like all the backstory about her.
And she is.
She's kind of a warrior.
She is.
She's going for Olympic gold at the 2026 Olympics.
So we will be watching in June on Utah.
You're gonna catch my ass being so invested
in the 2026 Winter Olympics, speed skating specifically.
No, she needs to win gold so that like her journey can be complete and she can settle down with Jake. And she said like, speed skating specifically. Because I'm- She needs to win gold so that her journey can be complete
and she can settle down with Jake.
And she said, I know every time I'm with my family,
I am leaving.
I need to get through the season
and win and accomplish my goals.
But I am leaving to be with Jake.
It's literally Romeo and Juliet.
I'm fucking obsessed with them.
No, and when they went to- I'm sorry.
I know this, typically we would clown on this,
but when they went to Puerto Rico to do,
or Costa Rica to do ayahuasca,
and they went down to the beach,
and they started doing a workout together,
and they were like building,
like they were just using the elements,
like the sand and the rocks and the sticks.
It was so cute.
When they left the ayahuasca ceremony,
and he was like, how amazing was that?
And she was like, I didn't feel anything.
That's the type of woman she is, like I'm obsessed.
Yeah, I actually appreciated that,
because I feel like everyone who does ayahuasca,
like the handful of people are like, it's life changing.
And it's like, well, so everyone who would do it,
like we just come out a completely different person.
Like, no, you have to be a certain type of person.
So you took on nothing.
Greg was unmoved.
Like against it.
You know, he tried, I do feel like he tried,
but like, no, he didn't come out of it
with the opposite perspective of Jake,
where it was like, yes, I did those things.
You know what I really feel like Jake's expectations
were so high for that.
There's no way that it was the season finale.
I'm gonna be so upset.
Yeah.
I had a dream about the Paul brothers.
I don't wanna start any rumors.
Wait, let's just like look at their Instagram
and see if they're like season finale.
All right, let me just ask chat.
Like how many episodes
of American, what's it called?
Of Paul American.
Are on the first season on HBO.
Chat is saying.
Okay, Jake like doesn't post about Paul American.
Cool.
Oh yeah, he doesn't.
He only posts about his deodorant.
W?
W.
Oh my God.
What?
The season finale is scheduled for May 15th.
Episode seven, so episode eight.
Okay, so we have two more episodes.
But that's seriously not enough episodes.
I thought we were gonna get the Tyson fight.
Maybe we will.
I like that the show moves quickly,
like months at a time.
It's not like today and tomorrow.
Yeah, well, I think if we can use our platform,
because the Paul brothers definitely need our support
in this, they don't have enough influence.
So if we could use our platform to get people
to watch the show, then maybe HBO will give them
a season two faster.
We need multiple seasons.
I need to live stream you guys.
I need to inject it in my veins.
It's the best show I've ever seen.
And I was in a real like low after.
Like what do we watch?
I know.
Oh, I'm still passively watching full swing.
I'll turn it on, watch 30 minutes.
I'm enjoying it.
It's not the, no, no, it's not the same.
But it's definitely the opposite sort of pace.
Yeah.
As PA.
I just wanna say like,
congrats, you found an amazing show.
And I never would have given it a chance
had you not championed it.
Cause like I obviously like everybody else,
I think like the Paul brothers,
what's like, it's not for me.
Like it's like, and it's interesting.
Like their demographic is like actual teenage boys.
Like it's seriously not for me.
I wouldn't be surprised if their actual fans
like don't tolerate the show.
Cause it's like not enough antics, not enough.
They're talking about their feelings.
Pranks.
No, also like what high school boy watches reality TV?
They don't.
Like this is for the swirlies.
Like Venn diagram, high school boys swirlies,
Paul Brothers show.
Yeah.
And no, it's like, they're definitely appealing
to a new demographic.
Like talking about raising families and falling in love.
Like it's their feelings.
Like it's a mature sort of elevated outlet for them.
Yeah.
Jackie, I could actually write like a fucking dissertation
on the two brothers.
It's like, that's what you were saying.
Like they're being so real and open on the show.
Like I know them.
Like I literally know them.
Yeah.
They're doing a good job at being reality stars,
but I really do feel like they're doing it.
They're all like, even when he's coming off his ayahuasca,
like the part that plays after the credits.
And he was like talking about Logan,
what things that he saw about Logan in his ayahuasca trip.
He was like, Logan, we have to do an amazing reality show.
No, also like Logan so corny,
like that's kind of the word I would use to describe Logan.
Like when they were in the first episode,
he made that like PowerPoint presentation to convince Nina to like hop on board for the reality show. Like I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like she's sitting on the couch with her hair up, like cracking up at Logan Paul.
I just couldn't believe what I was watching.
Got it.
Well, why don't you rewatch it through the lens
of being a hater and you'll see a lot.
There's a lot to say.
Well, I did watch the last two episodes through that lens
and I understood what you were saying.
So like you influenced me
and then I influenced you right back.
Yeah, it's true.
It's such a good show.
I highly recommend.
Thank you, Jackie.
Like so good.
You're so welcome.
Did Ben like it?
Loved.
Oh, cracking up, like cracking up at,
like Jake is funny too, right?
When they're on the date, he's like,
this feels like love on the spectrum.
And then she was like, do you think we'll be together forever?
He was like, yeah, and I'll find you in the next lifetime.
She's like, but what if I'm an ugly boy?
And he's like, then I'll be gay.
Like he's fucking funny.
I'm sorry.
Like there's a reason like people are into them
and I get it.
Like I totally get it.
Totally.
Highly recommend.
Okay, we're using our platform today.
Raise your voice, coaches.
Oh, you want me to raise my voice?
I do.
Car-boy your bae,
sense-ah today,
se-hoo-hoo-hoo,
he-he-he-he.
That's literally the cringiest scene in cinematic history.
I actually re-watched it a few weeks ago via Instagram Reels.
Shout out to whoever
plucked it out of obscurity.
It's awful.
Claudia.
It's awful.
Ha ha ha ha.
And everybody's like, she's really good.
Cringelicious, definition.
Definition.
And it's literally like Loki Aiden is her teacher,
Aiden Shaw. And he's like, wow Aiden is her teacher, Aiden Shaw.
And he's like, wow.
Wow, get me out of here.
It was like, seriously, I identify so much with like
the villain in that film, the girl with the curly blonde hair
like now Hillary Duff scram.
What are you doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like not okay.
Not okay.
Oh my God.
We have stories today and they are.
They're good.
It was a big weekend.
Lots going on this weekend.
Like a lot of different.
It's the first Monday in May.
It's the what?
It's the what?
Okay, our Wi-Fi cut out.
Seriously, that was funny.
It's the first Monday in May.
It's the first Monday in May, and that's not even what I was talking about for this
weekend, but it is the first Monday in May, but a lot of activations, like Kentucky Derby,
F1.
The what?
Kentucky Derby and F1.
No, and a lot of people flock to New York too, so a lot of celebrities were in New York, F1, Kentucky Derby and F1. Kentucky Derby and F1. The what?
Kentucky Derby and F1.
No, and a lot of people like flock to New York too.
So a lot of celebrities were in New York
and I'm like seriously stalking Alex Earl.
I don't think she's in New York.
Even though I could see her like wanting to surprise us,
like not sharing any of it and putting it on her vlog.
But do we think Alex Earl,
there's like a couple of big questions
when it comes to the Met Gala right now.
Taylor and Travis.
For me, Taylor and Travis,
Tylee and Timothy, what's Tylee and Timothy? For me, is Alex Earl going to the MacGala right now. Taylor and Travis. Taylor and Travis. Tylee and Timothy.
What's the Tylee and Timothy?
For me is Alex Earl going to the MacGala.
Okay, so I would say these are the odds.
Highest odds, Tylee and Timothy.
Second highest odds.
Alex Earl.
Alex Earl.
Third highest, Travis and Taylor.
Taylor's also like not in a public facing moment.
Yeah, but like you could go to a party.
Yeah.
Maybe drop some rep Easter eggs.
Everyone's hungry for some eggs.
Yeah.
Travis is in New York.
I know, he was filming a commercial in New York,
but everyone's saying,
like, that means nothing, stop being stupid.
It does mean nothing, you should stop being stupid.
Oh my God, wait, speaking of being stupid,
I watched American Idol last night,
which I enjoyed immensely. Being a boomer means the world to stupid, I watched American Idol last night, which I enjoyed immensely.
Being a boomer means the world to me.
And it's such a good show, I'm sorry.
The quality of talent is trash,
but they brought in Miranda Lambert.
She was the guest mentor, and she really,
she gave her all.
I appreciated that.
She wasn't just giving, you should try this.
She was crying, she was loving.
And, no, she went like this, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Miranda.
So then when it was over,
they just cut to whatever ABC was playing next,
and they televised the Time 100 Gala,
which I thought was so strange.
We talked about it last week.
It's like this big list,
and they had a gala for all the recipients,
and I guess it was a ceremony,
which I would have assumed,
I thought it was more of a party,
but they filmed the entire thing for TV.
So it was like, Snoop Dogg was the host,
there were performances, they cut to Demi Moore.
I literally turned it off after five minutes.
It was like so bad.
Like I appreciate them giving us a window
into that fabulous evening, but I don't know.
It felt like it's not cool anymore.
It's on ABC.
Wasn't it a week ago?
Yeah.
So it wasn't live.
No, no.
That's weird.
It was so strange.
Like just give us the Goldbergs and shut it.
Just give us the Goldbergs, correct.
As simple as that.
Or Desperate Housewives reruns, like we're good.
Yeah, even though the show is ruined.
Thanks.
Thanks, Vang.
Yeah, I know.
Thanks, Marsh.
Thanks, Marsh.
There's Marsh. Marsha, know. Thanks Marsh. Thanks Marsh. Thanks Marsh.
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
Literally.

You're welcome.
Our first story, Kentucky Derby 2025.
Sovereignty won the big race.
And what was interesting, I'm sure you saw about this year's Kentucky Derby
was that all horses in the race
were descended from one secretariat.
Now, if you haven't watched Secretariat,
it's time to stream Secretariat on Disney Plus
and educate yourself.
1000%, you will be shocked by the AJ Michelle of it all.
Okay, it's a star studded film.
Of course, the grandma from Hannah Montana.
Diane Lane.
She's in it, of course.
Like it's, oh, and you know what?
You know what I think I'm just realizing?
Hold on.
Who plays the dad in Secretariat movie?
Hold on.
Some guy.
Some guy, right?
Who's the actor?
I'm pretty sure, let me just.
Yes, so the husband in Secretariat is from Nip Tuck.
I was just thinking,
because I was watching Nip Tuck the other day.
No, and it was such a popular show,
and it's like Ryan Murphy's like big first show.
And those two main guys like so hot,
like they never did anything ever again.
You know, you never saw the actors.
I didn't even know their names.
And then I'm thinking he looks, yes,
he's one of the doctors from Nip Tuck.
And then he is the no good husband,
unsupported husband, only there for the wins husband.
The no good piece of shit,
Drake Cup, Phobisena Poonam husband.
And what's funny is like, he's not even the villain
of the movie, but he is.
It's not about him.
But if you like are a rational woman watching the film,
you can't help but get bogged down by this actual imbecile.
Yeah, like trying to tell Diane what to do.
Now there were multiple events going on this weekend,
like two big main ones.
A lot of celebs, influencers,
cool people.
Cars racing versus horse racing.
Went to Miami to watch the cars race
and others went to Kentucky Derby to watch the horses race.
Which did you think was more fun looking?
F1.
Really?
Yeah, I thought like everyone who was at F1
was like A-list elk caliber.
Like how do you even get there?
Does the brand have to bring you?
It's like, it seems like just the most exclusive ticket.
And then Kentucky Derby, like I was seeing some strays.
And then also like people start to look,
like it's a very fine line between like looking appropriate
and looking like a clown.
Costume, yeah, agreed, agreed, agreed.
I thought it was interesting that Alex Earl
opted for the Kentucky Derby.
Like she's the queen of Miami.
That's true. But I was glad she was there to take Earl opted for the Kentucky Derby. Like she's the queen of Miami. That's true.
But I was glad she was there to take me along
at the Kentucky Derby.
So I will say, I thought like the actual event itself,
like the Kentucky Derby looked a little bit more fun.
Like you sit and you drink and you bet.
Whereas like, I didn't actually see a lot of people
at the F1.
I just saw everybody at Carbone Beach, you know?
Oh yeah. Carbone Beach looked really sick.
Well, there were a lot of events in the weekend in Miami,
but I just feel like-
But in terms of like the actual race?
And all the people who I saw who went to F1,
like of the people that I followed,
like wearing the cutest outfits they've ever worn.
I did, everybody showed up.
Yeah, everyone showed up.
So I think that one, but Conducted Erby's so cute,
and maybe it was like a little bit cooler,
like weather-wise.
You get to wear a hat, shady.
Do you think that the horse that won, Sovereignty, a little bit cooler, like weather-wise. You get to wear a hat, shady.
Do you think that the horse that won sovereignty,
like kind of mimicking like a one name wonder,
starting with an S, Secretariat, like it's kind of,
cause I find the naming of the horses
to be the most interesting.
Like if I had a horse, obviously his name would be Turdy.
Or like a play.
Oh, I like that. Like a play on something. But to just give it like a play. Oh, I like that.
Like a play on something.
But to just give it like a Madonna,
like a one name starting with an S,
it's like, well, obviously you're gonna win.
Yeah, well he had seven to one odds
and I'd like to see the other horse names
because sometimes people rename their horses
like really stupid names.
Like lots of luck.
No, agreed.
Like you wanna lose.
Yeah, one name wonder, I agree. Like, agreed. Like you want to lose. Yeah. One name wonder.
I agree.
Like, I don't know.
If you had,
Tommy.
Okay.
If you had a horse that you were putting forth
in a big race, what would you name it?
The options are sort of limitless.
I would have to get to know my horse, but I just would,
I think I would feel inspired by Bruno.
And so I think I would name him Brysand.
Okay. What about Folay?
Too feminine. Sorry.
What if it was a girl horse?
Are any of the horses girls?
I think biology still applies to horses.
To horses. It does it like, are all the horses boys?
I'm pretty sure.
Like don't quote me on that, but if I was a betting woman,
that's what I'd bet.
Even if you think their schlong would get in the way,
aerodynamically.
No, but they're like just taller and stronger and faster.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I understand how biology works.
Like that was a crazy combo in American Paul.
Why can't I say the name of the show, Paul American,
when he's doing an interview
and they're like asking him about like trans women in sports.
And he like didn't want to answer
and his dad was like, I'll answer.
He's like calm down.
He creates a distraction so like,
so that he doesn't have to answer,
but then he said, no, I want to answer.
And that is a big topic in sports.
And if Jake Paul is not going to answer that question,
then who is Jake Paul?
No, sure, like they thrive on that sort of controversy.
And he had really shrunk,
like he even talked about it later in the car.
It was like, he wanted to talk more about it.
You know, he has shrunk a few hands on it.
He had feelings.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So all's left to say, congratulations to sovereignty
about trans women in sports.
In women's sports.
I honestly, if you really wanna know,
I think I value my career and I'm not getting involved.
That's what I think.
That's what I thought that you would think.
Yeah, no, I love pop culture and The Toast is an amazing
show and you guys should tune in every day.
And anyone can tune in, that's what's so great.
We're non-gender exclusive, you know, unlike sports.
We don't have boundaries.
Like you can join, anyone can be a swirly.
Swirly is a non-binary term.
That's true, but it does come from,
it does derive from girly swirly.
It definitely has feminine origins.
However, when applied to modern times,
anyone can be a swirly and I really mean that.
That's very good, Claudia.
Thanks.
I think you've successfully walked the line.
I media trained my way right out of that question.
Well, congratulations to sovereignty
and anyone who won money and to everyone
who had a fun weekend there.
It looked great.
Like it looked fun, you know?
Yeah, it always does.
Love to see young people being hot and fun, honestly. Yeah, no, that's, that is what it was. Are you ready for
our next story? Some really somber news. Oh my. It seems as though the Peltz Beckham feud is raging
once again. David Beckham. What? Yeah, David Beckham. Had a birthday party. Yeah. And who wasn't there?
Nicola and Brooklyn. And the reports are swirling David
refused to celebrate his birthday with his son Brooklyn and Nikola amid family feud. I don't believe
that. Claudia. I know, by the way, I'm saying the feud could be back on, but I do not believe based
on what I know about David Beckham that he would not allow them to come. So David Beckham reportedly
refused to privately celebrate his birthday with Brooklyn and Nicola the couple allegedly flew to London last week David and Victoria
To honor David's birthday
No, or maybe Nicola sorry, that's confusing
I don't know who flew to London sources told TMZ that when Brooklyn and Nicola asked to meet up before his big birthday party
They were rebuffed the duo were reportedly told their only option to celebrate David was at his soiree on Saturday
at the core restaurant in Notting Hill,
which was like star studded.
Tom Cruise was there, Anna DeArmas.
Yeah, I saw the Anna DeArmas photos of her hiding
and him like, you know, cheesing so hard.
Like a man who makes you hide
and he smiles for the paparazzi like, ick, okay.
And I saw this thing, I forgot where I saw it.
It was like, how is Tom Cruise dating Anna de Armas?
Like he doesn't entertain the idea of dating any woman
who's not a part of Scientology.
And it's like, well, if they are dating and they are,
she's probably already like a couple of steps in,
you know, taking tours of the facilities,
learning more about.
And actually the more I thought about it,
it made a lot of sense because what I remember hearing
about Scientology as it pertained to John Travolta
in the documentary that I saw was that
when he decided to join, like for no reason
other than like probably curiosity,
it was around the exact same time
that his career really started to take off.
And we weren't really alive or like socially conscious
at the time, but like there was a time
where he was like Jacob Elordi, right?
Like every movie sat, yeah, right. Because there weren't a million Jacob Elordi's.
There was like one guy at the time.
And he was that, and he attributes almost all of his
current modern and past success to being,
it's like the program worked.
And so I think for a lot of people,
they get involved for that reason.
And actually we were just talking about it like,
Added to Armistice is kind of like-
Stalled. Yeah. get involved for that reason. And actually we were just talking about it, like Anna DeArmas is kind of like-
Stalled.
Yeah, and so I could see that being an intriguing,
or at least there's a reason for her to take the tour.
Yeah.
And if something does start to pop off in her career,
she will think it's because of Scientology.
Maybe it is. And that's scary.
Maybe it is.
Maybe it's not because of like, you know,
the karmic energy,
but because maybe there's Scientologists in high places.
And if you become a Scientologist,
like you can get a really great gig, maybe.
Right, right.
They like lift up their own.
Yeah, perhaps.
So I thought the timing of like her star rising
actually kind of makes sense or start lowering actually.
Yeah, that's what I said about her glomming onto Tom
to begin with.
Right.
And maybe she's going to become a believer
because we're all talking about her now.
No, not in a meaningful way, but like it could work.
The plan could work. It's like, at least she has a plan.
I can't believe Tom Cruise was at that birthday party.
No, they're best friends.
So even in the Beckham documentary-
Who?
David and Tom, even in the Beckham documentary,
when they moved to LA,
they started hanging out with Tom and Katie.
And then they became like Hollywood staples.
And I think that he's really good friends with Tom Cruise.
And so honestly, that is a check in Tom's column
because David seems like a standup guy.
No, I don't think it's a check in Tom's column.
I think it's like one of, if not the only X
in David's column.
Ooh.
Poor judge.
Unless, you know, sometimes like people,
and you know what, I feel this happens a lot
with famous people.
Like we all think things about famous people,
but like you have an experience with them
and what David Beckham's like,
this guy was so nice to me when I moved to LA,
I didn't know anyone, I'm gonna hate him
because the world tells me to.
Like maybe he's just like a deeply moral guy being like,
well, I don't care what the world says at you.
You were nice to me.
No, and like you are nice to me
and we have a good friendship
when I should throw away my friend
because of what all these people I don't know say about him.
Right.
I would implore David to do a little bit of research,
but listen, who am I to judge?
Let's get back to the issue at hand.
Yes, no, I'm kind of avoiding.
Because I don't want to talk about Tom Cruise today
because we talked about him last week
and I feel set for the month. It's enough, it's enough. Once a month, I'm kind of avoiding. Because I don't want to talk about Tom Cruise today because we talked about him last week and I feel set for the month.
It's enough, it's enough.
Once a month I'm fine.
But the duo reportedly told they could only come
to the big birthday party, they couldn't celebrate privately
and they chose not to go and instead send him birthday
wishes.
So I think the fact that they were not at this huge party
when they've been going to everything for one another,
Victoria and David went to Nicola's Lola premiere
for the movie that she wrote. Like they're going to everything for one another. Victoria and David went to Nicola's Lola premiere
for the movie that she wrote.
Like they're going to every, yeah, back,
like once things have been good since wedding date,
like they have been so supportive of each other.
Even when there's a family gathering
and Brooklyn and Nicola are not there,
Victoria writes in the caption,
missing Brooklyn and Nicola.
Like they have been so shrunk so that they weren't at.
And I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't go, right?
Like they go to London a lot. No, Claudia.
It's a big thing.
There's no way around the fact that they did not go
and that is because of contention.
That is bad.
It was his 50th birthday party.
Like they definitely went to every,
like they blew it out, like it's once in a lifetime
and they were not there.
So things have gone south again,
which like makes me so upset because I thought we were safe.
I thought we were over it and I thought that so much
of the perceived wedding drama beef was blown up
in the public sphere and maybe there was a little bit
of truth to it, but it wasn't that big of a deal
and they got over it, yada yada.
You know, and weddings can be dramatic and stressful
and you see the worst in people and you could have a beef,
but then if you have a work up,
then it's not like there's another wedding,
it's not gonna happen again, everything is stable.
I just don't know if I married into the Beckham family,
you would not stop me from getting on that plane.
They just seem, I'm sure every family
has their intricacies and stuff,
but I'm Nicola, I obviously wanna be famous, right?
I've been actively pursuing a life in Hollywood
for many, many years.
Like, why wouldn't I go to this big event?
It's good for my career.
I don't know.
And even like they took family photos before the party
and all the other kids were there
and like the two sons, Romeo and Cruz
were with their girlfriends.
The girlfriends are in the picture.
They're very much a family.
It's not like you have to like no ring, no brings.
The girlfriends are in the pictures.
And sometimes like, you know, they break up
and then there's a new girlfriend
and they're, they are so welcoming.
And she posts a picture with these random girlfriends.
That's very Kardashian of them.
Yeah.
It's, but you would think it's like,
we're until you're married, like you're not,
where I'm not, you can't be in the pictures.
We'll have to crop you out.
This girl's not even on the end.
Damn, I mean, this is not what I wanted to hear, honestly.
I hadn't even thought much about these four.
I thought like it was settled and we're good.
Maybe it's not the best relationship with in-laws ever,
but it's good and it's fine and it works.
And I liked seeing little glimpses of them together.
And like the fact that we don't get the four of them
like ever just out and about, like how sick would that be?
Just like paparazzi pictures of them like eating dinner.
We used to.
She went to, Nicola and Brooklyn went to the show,
Victoria's show in Paris.
Like they were so supportive of one another.
We are the ones, the public, we're the ones missing out.
It's true, but also Brooklyn's missing out.
Of course.
And I mean, I don't know if we would know,
because they feel like a much more private family,
but is there any beef between the Peltzes
and Brooklyn and Nicola?
I don't think so.
Not that I think we would know,
but I do feel like Nicola's with her family a lot.
Me too.
Like, yeah.
And I think Nicola and Brooklyn are always together.
So it's not like Nicola and Brooklyn are always together.
So it's not like Nicola is with her family without Brooklyn.
No, and it's clear that Brooklyn has chosen his wife
over his family, which in a really toxic in-law case,
like that's what you hope for, right?
Right.
I don't know, I'm not happy about it.
But even in Victoria, we also have a Beckham documentary.
Like you can't call them toxic.
I'm not happy about it.
Agreed.
Like they're America's sweethearts
and they're not even from here. Agreed. I'm not happy about it. I'm not happy about any of this. I'm really happy about it. Agreed. Like they're America's sweethearts and they're not even from here.
Agreed, I'm not happy about it.
I'm not happy about any of this.
I'm really unhappy about it because I really like,
I love both couples.
Rising Ties, Rays, All Shies, things like that.
If you had to choose a side here,
knowing nothing about what actually is going on,
just purely based on vibes,
I'm going with the Beckhams.
David and Victoria, yeah. Over the Peltz Beckhams. David and Victoria, yeah.
Over the Peltz Beckhams.
But just know, like,
it's your close second. It's hard.
It's kind of the definition of a de-entress choice.
Yeah, so let's see what happens next,
but to miss the 50th birthday,
that's not like something, oh, we'll make up tomorrow.
Because if you were gonna make up tomorrow,
you would have just gone to the party and been like,
we'll deal with it later.
Right, like something we can't work through, we're family.
No, it's catastrophic.
It's category five.
Yeah, and if any of these two younger brothers
get married anytime soon,
that will be like another big thing, like will they go?
They better.
They better.
Well, TBD, we'll keep you posted.
Are you ready for our next story?
Three?
Yeah.
Cause today's a big day.
Diddy's sex trafficking trial begins today
in New York City.
Jury selection.
Oh, not the media burying this.
I haven't seen it anywhere.
I had no idea.
Well, jury selection begins this morning
in one of the toughest jurisdictions in the nation.
I take it back.
I take it back.
Jury selection is not like the biggest news.
Yeah, it's not like news coming out.
However, I put on my tinfoil hat like a little too quickly.
If you did get called up to jury duty today,
there's a good chance that you could be serving
on this case.
Okay, I haven't gotten jury duty
because I actually completed jury duty,
even though I feel like it was almost six years ago.
Like my time is coming.
But let's say for argument's sake, like I got chosen.
Obviously this is something I would not try to get out of.
You would not get chosen because-
You think I would, because of my job?
There's a record of you talking about this.
Having a strong opinion.
Having strong opinions at length,
but I also feel like there's a record of us,
well, you, cause you're the one,
changing our opinions about stuff.
No, and we are not unreasonable people.
Like I think that if you were to watch our entire career,
like in a movie, you would,
some of the feelings you would be left with
is those are rational girls.
Reason.
Right, reason free from logic.
And the law is reason free from passion.
Oh, that's what I'm thinking.
But we are passionate.
Yeah. Therefore maybe.
I definitely wouldn't get chosen.
You would 1000% not get chosen.
They would say, what do you do for work?
I do a pop culture podcast.
Goodbye.
Yeah. And then they don't like people, you know,
who are obviously media darlings like myself.
Oh yeah.
Darlings.
Cause they know I'd be speaking to the media
after every day in court.
Yeah. So this is gonna be-
And by the media, I mean the toast.
This is gonna be tough, but you wouldn't be allowed to.
So your work would suffer.
It would just be awful.
So true.
This is gonna be tough jury selection
to find people who are not biased.
It's one of the most highly publicized cases in the country.
Everybody knows Diddy.
Everybody probably has an opinion.
So this will take some time.
Where do you even begin?
I guess you get like older women.
Like I could only think of like a grandma.
Like who wouldn't care about this?
Well, it's not even just about who doesn't care.
I think they could also choose someone
who might know, did he might have an opinion,
but it's proven that they could be unbiased.
Right, like in a traditional Jerry setting,
if you've even heard of,
because it's not usually famous people.
Let's say it's like, it's like usually like a boring case of like a landlord. If you've even heard of, because it's not usually famous people, let's say it's usually like a boring case of a landlord.
If you've even heard of this landlord,
any remote connection, you're automatically disqualified.
They probably can't do that here
because there are very few people on the planet,
let alone in New York, who haven't heard of Diddy.
So they have to be a little bit more discerning
about just people's vibes.
I actually think, aside from the fact
that I do this podcast, me as an as an individual and like the way I operate,
I would be a very good jury member for this trial
or any trial, but like I could completely become unbiased
like Tabula Rasa, I'm gonna sit there.
I'm not gonna use anything that I've learned before this.
And I could be, I could be swayed
like look at me and Justin and Blake,
like I'm open-minded to being wrong.
But you know that like jury members
of really high profile cases,
like they're constantly getting reached out to,
like almost there's a lot of jury tampering, bribery.
Do you think you would be able to withstand all of that?
1000%, no one could like I could.
Bribery?
Depends what they're offering.
Right.
But like I can't even think of a bribe that I would take.
And if it's about money,
then I would just wait till it's over and sell my story,
write a book.
I think I could wait.
Like I actually think I'm very desirable for a jury.
Unfortunately, I'm very busy and I'm self-employed.
And so I can't take that on.
Sad state for civics,
but maybe next time.
Getting selected on a jury for like a really,
really high profile case is a perverted version
of like a lottery ticket.
A lot of people do like retire afterwards.
A blessing and a curse.
No.
They said every single jury member
after the OJ Simpson trial wrote a book.
Yeah, but I think they're probably like had people,
you know, outside their house and yeah, it's a trial wrote a book. Yeah, but I think they're probably like had people, you know, outside their house and-
Yeah, yeah.
It's a blessing and a curse.
Well, you can remain anonymous if you choose to.
Just like a winning lottery ticket.
Ever heard of a lottery curse?
But I just wanna say, just like you think
you would be a good jury member,
I know I would be a good lottery winner.
I know you would too. So give it to me.
I wouldn't squander it.
I would be, I mean, you guys know how-
She was so cheap!
Watch your mouth.
You know how viscally responsible I am.
I went to the outlets again yesterday.
She would take it right to the outlets.
She would take her winnings, 1% of them.
Like I would buy a mansion,
but like a mansion that was in foreclosure, you know?
I'd get it at auction.
I know for a fact, like I would not fall
into the lottery curse and therefore
that's why you should make me your next lottery winner.
I agree.
Yeah. And like, if you won the lottery, I don't know if I would say the next lottery winner. I agree. Yeah.
And like if you won the lottery,
I don't know if I would say the same for you.
I could see you getting carried away.
The thing is I would be a very prudent lottery winner
and I would not fall prey to the curse.
However, I'm not as cheap as you.
So like you're an even frugal or mindful, let's say mindful.
Mindful, I love that.
Viscally, financially mindful.
Like I'm actually a financially mindful person,
however, compared to you, I'm off the rails.
So I actually wouldn't agree with the statement
that said you are a financially mindful person.
That's the only difference here of opinion here.
Now obviously you're not in debt,
but no, I wouldn't say you're financially mindful.
I am very financially mindful. I am very financially mindful.
I am full of mind, I am.
Compared to you, compared to you.
No, I'm not saying compared to me, I'm saying in general.
Like the words financially mindful,
they do not define you.
Compared to the general population of this country?
No, I'm just saying like for your situation.
Everybody's situation to finances.
Oh wow, you think I'm spending more,
like I'm living above my means.
That's what you're saying.
No, I don't think you're living above your means,
but I think you live well.
I think you live well too.
Like you do well.
Thus.
You live well.
Yeah.
But like I can, like I should be spending more
on like other, like on like big things, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, like a crib.
But I just love a deal.
Yeah, right.
Correct, exactly.
Yeah, no, I would just buy that crib.
And that's the difference between you and I,
but I don't think that makes me like
a financially mindless person.
It's kind of like the shopping cart theory,
how they say like, you know, you can really tell a lot
by a person based on what they do with their shopping cart
at the end of like a grocery in a parking lot.
Everyone know like that theory has absolutely ruined trips
to the grocery store for me.
I cannot think-
Do you feel like you're being watched?
Every time I return my,
I just, whatever thought I was having,
train of thought out the window,
every time I'm walking with my card to put it away,
I'm like, I'm not a good person.
Right, right.
And by the way, I always put it away.
You guys know how I feel about this.
I think the test,
are you financially mindful
is the crib.
So you think if I could get a free crib,
but the one I want, I would have to pay for
and I can afford that one.
If I buy the one that I want, I'm not financially mindful.
Yeah, kind of.
Okay.
Because like, let's say the one that you're being offered
is premium as hell.
I just wanna say, I disagree with you.
It's not like Roach Infested from the Street,
it's a brand new.
I just wanna say, I disagree with you on that,
but I understand that that's where you're coming,
like I understand what you're saying
and I can happily agree to disagree.
Sound off in the comments.
How are you fairing in the crib test?
Are you taking the free crib
or are you getting the crib of your dreams?
Yeah, not of your dreams to mean it's like a couple G's.
Like it's got crib price.
Let's say.
Yeah, no, it's like a thousand.
Cribs are $800,000.
I was gonna say a thousand dollars, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
You taking the free crib?
Are you financially mindful?
It's the crib test.
I love that.
So back to Diddy. Oh, right.
Yeah.
Let's let's we not forget.
Trial starts today.
I'm sure we'll start to get news from this trial.
And if you've been called up to jury duty in New York City and you are a swirly, definitely
definitely get in contact.
No, don't get in contact.
Stay open minded.
But justice must be served.
No he did that. You like no I'm close by to here. but justice must be served. No, he did that.
You're like, no, I'm close-minded here.
But justice must be served.
That's what you say, Claudia.
I'm very much looking forward to justice being served.
Have we told that story?
I don't know, but it's so funny.
It's so funny when like, what was it?
Five years ago.
2019, everything for us happened in 2019.
We were in LA at catch and in the news
was the Cuba Gooding Jr. trial. Like one of the women who he had assaulted, like actually
called the police on him and he was like going to court and we were at catch for dinner and
I got a text. They were like TMZ is outside. They want to talk to you about Cuba Gooding
Jr. Oh my God. We prepared so hard. We spent the whole meal like Franken. We were like and Jackie gave me this zinger of a line. She was like, you know, you, they want to talk to you about Cuba Goody Jr. Oh my God, we prepared so hard, we spent the whole meal like freaking.
We were like, and Jackie gave me this zinger of a line.
She was like, you know, you don't want to look thirsty.
And like, you know, I obviously have a personal experience
with Cuba Goody Jr.
So that's why they want to talk to me.
But you want to come off, you know, mature and like, so.
But you also want to give them a quote, like, you know.
Yeah.
And I didn't, like, I didn't know what to say.
And Jackie just wrote this like, like action. It was like kind of a line't, like, I didn't know what to say. And Jackie just wrote this, like, like, actually,
it was like kind of a line.
It was kind of a scene at a Veep where like, you know,
this, the speech writer like gives you like this killer
phrase. So I walk out and like the paparazzi is literally
taking pictures of me and they're like, how do you feel?
And I turn around before I get in the car and I say,
I'm very much looking forward to justice being served.
Shut the door.
The clip never made it on TMZ.
I never saw the actual, they clip never made it on TMZ. I never saw the actual-
They didn't feel as like empowered by the statement
as we did.
But just know whenever I'm looking forward
to justice being served, that's why.
Slay.
And if TMZ could find that video,
it would mean the world to me.
Just to send it to me.
You don't have to release it obviously.
Cause you obviously don't want to.
You obviously hated it for some reason.
You obviously put out any footage you get of anyone,
but just couldn't be bothered to put that out.
But no, the damsel in distress at Catch LA,
for some reason she doesn't get,
send me the footage, I'll buy it off of you, I want it.

Our fourth story.
Lady Gaga has broken the record for highest attended concert
by a female artist in history,
which was previously held by Madonna.
Lady Gaga drew an estimated crowd
of two and a half million people to her free concert
at Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach on May 3rd.
The record was previously held by Madonna,
who drew a crowd of 1.6 million fans
to a free concert at Copacabana Beach in May 2024.
Oh, so this is like a place.
Yeah, I think it's like a, I mean, it is like a story beach,
but it must be like massive where you can have huge concerts
and just be set up in that way.
How many did Madonna have?
1.6, Lady Gaga had 2.5, both were free.
I love that.
Yeah, love.
And I like, first of all, I saw the concert
and I was like, oh good.
Like you obviously worked so hard on a Coachella set
and then like you're not supposed to do it again.
So I love that she's just like taking it around the globe.
Like you worked hard.
And like to break a record, even though it's free.
You have the choreography like pop off.
And I'm sure she got paid like in some way,
like the tourism board of Brazil, something like,
there's nobody just, who's paying for the stage
and the lights, you know?
Like, there's a sponsor.
Plus like Klobacabana is definitely making money
on drinks and food.
Yeah, but I saw lots of videos of people
like all over the beach, like even way in the back.
It just looked so fun, like pargy,
like a lady guy at concert on the beach. And then I saw something so back. It just looked so fun, like pargy, like a Lady Gaga concert on the beach.
And then I saw something so funny.
It's like, imagine you wait all day,
like you wanna get barricade,
which means like you're in the front row,
and then like the concert's over
and you have to wait for 2.5 million people to leave,
just so you can exit.
I'm sure they had like a more organized way of leaving,
but I do wonder what it was like to get home.
Seriously insane.
There was also a bomb threat at the concert.
Did you see this?
No, I was gonna say,
I feel like this couldn't happen in America.
Like people are just so crazy.
Like two and a half million people in one setting.
Like I just could see going so wrong.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sure they have like insane security.
Two people were arrested in connection
with an alleged plot to set off explosives at the concert.
Like imagine being such a fucking loser.
Like, sorry, it couldn't be me.
Yeah, yeah, incredibly,
loser-y amongst other things.
Lady Gaga apparently found out about that
from the media reports.
She didn't even know about it.
Before the concert or after?
Because that's so scary before.
After, I believe.
And I don't know, has she announced it yet?
Like, but she is going on a tour for this album, right?
This is obviously like a lead up.
I don't, she has not announced it as far as I know.
But she obviously will.
This has all been such great promo.
All the clips I saw from Coachella, this concert,
it's been such great promo.
We were saying how you do a show
and whether you're already on tour
or you're announcing a tour
and the clips that come out on social media
literally are the most effective way
of getting people to buy tickets.
And I'm going to Mayhem.
It looks so good.
Yeah.
Of course, Katy Perry comes to mind.
Those are negative clips.
I've been seeing a lot more Beyonce clips.
Mostly the ones with her family
because she brought out her mom
and Blue Eye is a dancer on the show now and Rumi.
And so every time she has those moments, it makes news,
which I think has been positive for the show.
I think it's helping ticket sales.
I think that's kind of a part of the touring thing now.
You sort of have to wait for your videos to go viral.
You know who's tour I think is really making her career?
Sabrina?
Of course, but no.
No, but Sabrina's is the definite,
it's such viral moments.
It's true.
No, Meghan Trainor.
I have not seen a singular clip, that's such viral moments. It's true. No, Meghan Trainor. I have not seen a singular clip.
That's crazy.
I don't follow her.
I just like, I'm always seeing,
maybe it's like her own clips,
but I just feel like I see her so much more
because she's on tour.
Also, she just put out a song with Mimi Webb.
That is so good.
It wasn't on my release radar.
And I just wanna-
Talk to someone?
No, like they're being censored on Spotify.
That's disgusting.
Why would Mimi Web not be on my release radar?
I don't know, but I wanna say,
as somebody who's very active on social media
and pops swirlies, I didn't even know Meghan Trainor.
So you're obviously, you're in a Meghan Trainor algorithm.
I guess I am, but I don't even follow her.
I never have a thaw. You see, she's a TikTok girl, whatever, with all her TikTok songs. I feel like am, but I don't even follow her. I never have a thought.
You see, she's a TikTok girl,
whatever with all her TikTok songs.
I feel like you actually, in recent years,
have kind of become a big fan.
Bigger than I was. Her music is so you.
Bigger than I was.
Her music is also super family friendly
because she doesn't curse or anything.
And the beats are very, kids become obsessed with it.
Yeah.
So I feel like people who have kids are always playing,
it's like a safe thing to play.
Oh, that's funny.
And probably true.
I put on Bang Bang, like on the Sonos yesterday.
And then like then Bang Bang radio came on.
It was like, oh, Nicki Minaj.
We're like cooking and every other word is ever in my head.
That's so funny.
I couldn't, my head, raw meat on my hands.
I couldn't get to my phone fast enough.
That's why Meghan Trainor saved.
I need to do Meghan Trainor radio.
Yeah. And like, I feel like people make fun of her
because she makes like TikTok music,
but that's like stimulating for kids.
It's kind of like kids entertainment.
Yeah. Nothing will be oppa-ta.
Nothing will ever be oppa-ta.
Oppa-ta. Yeah. 100%.
Eh. Eh. Eh.
But yeah, a hundred percent.
But in terms of like people whose concerts get like made, I think now it's, when you design a concert
and you plan a tour, you plan like a viral moment.
Like for Sabrina, it was the Juneau position.
Have you ever tried this one?
And they're like, what did she do in Stockholm?
Oh, she got Eiffel towered in Paris.
Like, and then Iiffel Towered embarrassed.
And then I was telling you about Sally.
Yeah, you told me about Sally.
So everybody, I think with Taylor,
it was definitely like the big surprise song.
I mean, it was every, no, Taylor was every, every.
Of course, but every show was the same.
So you would tune in every night though
to be like, what's the big one?
Yeah.
And it's really smart with Beyonce and Renaissance,
she did,
and the crowd, everybody go mute.
And she tried to get the whole arena to be dead silent.
And for the most part it worked.
And so you would see like,
wait, were they quiet in Atlanta tonight?
So it's like a gimmicky type of thing.
Even though I haven't seen that from Lady Gaga,
it just looks like a really good concert
that encompasses like a huge,
not just her new album,
like her entire discography.
Yeah, yeah.
It will definitely be good on tour.
You might check it out.
It's kind of how when everybody like was freaking out,
wanting to know what the toast surprise songs
were gonna be at our live shows.
Yeah, we definitely gave them a moment, you know,
that everyone would be talking about.
And we're just part of like the marketing machine.
It's true, but that just happened so organically.
Organically, yeah.
I gave you space for that.
You Jackie, you lobbed it for me.
Whatever you say like.
What is it a lob?
Like lobbed and dunk?
And alley-oop.
Alley-oop.
Brunson boys.
Brunson boys.
That clip of us talking about the Brunson boys,
like did make it to the Brunson boys themselves.
They weren't happy.
No.
No, they loved being talked about.
Can you text me which boys are the Brunson boys?
Sure.
Of his friends.
You know them, they're like his friends in high school.
Yeah, but I just wanna know which ones are Brunson's.
I'm pretty sure.
I'm not entirely, it's like four people.
Including them?
Yes.
Okay.
I think that's it.
Okay, I'm on my way.
It's like Ben's three best friends from high school.
Like not that it would even matter to you guys
who these people are.
Okay, cool.
It's just like, you're not gonna put them on blast.
They already like their group chat was on blast.
They've been through enough those friends and boys.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Oh, bidding is such sweet
sorrow. This is actually a really sweet story that I hadn't heard until this
morning, but Connie Britton is launching a new show and it's basically Queer Eye
for Single Moms. I saw a commercial for it because I'm a boomer who watches
American Idol. Connie Britton's new reality show The Motherhood can best be
described as Queer Eye for Single Mothers She said, that could be a very helpful,
concise description of the show,
and both shows are helmed by the same company,
Scout Productions.
Oh, so it really is.
So yeah, she said, I thought that was such a great formula
for the story I wanted to tell,
and they are truly the reason
why this show is as wonderful as it is.
She admitted she doesn't watch a lot of reality TV,
but she does like Queer Eye,
which sees five experts give people makeovers
because there was something about it that resonated with me
and I want that from entertainment.
The motherhood follows a different single mom each episode
together with three experts dubbed the neighborhood ladies.
Connie chats with the moms about their individual challenges
and helps them come up with a support plan.
Do we know who the experts are?
They like famous people.
I'm looking at a group of women who are the experts
and I do not recognize any of them at first glance.
Okay.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't know their names,
but I don't recognize them.
But we didn't know the Queer Eye guys, we know them now.
Right.
They were all just like successful.
Experts in their field.
They're stylists.
Right.
Yeah, so I think that that's totally fine.
There's probably a stylist here, a therapist.
It's giving a combination because it's it's it on ABC.
I don't know. She was talking to Hallmark.
I saw a commercial for it on ABC.
It's just giving like a con like boomer, Queer Eye,
like combo of Queer Eye,
but also like extreme makeover home edition, you know?
Plus a bit of Hallmark.
So it's going to be.
I love this by the way, like, you know,
there are certain people in our communities
who need to be lifted up and single mothers are definitely one of them. I was actually
thinking about single mothers yesterday because Ben and I were just like having a reflective
moment over dinner. You know, we're almost at the end of this journey. And he was like,
you know, I like, I look at other people now, like, he was kind of being like judgmental,
but just like, no, he was like other husbands.
Like, and like, it just makes me sad.
Like that they like do,
their lives don't change until the baby comes.
And it's like, the woman's really like,
sometimes like on her own, like being pregnant,
like making yourself dinner, just like little things
like that she shouldn't be doing.
And I'm like a hundred percent, like I'm so lucky.
And then I was like,
and I also think about the people who don't have partners
who go at it alone.
Like I've been so supported by Ben. Oh my God, that makes me so, and I also think about the people who don't have partners who go at it alone. Like I've been so supported by Ben.
Oh my God, that makes me so,
and I don't even have a baby yet.
Like that's-
That's a just wait till the baby comes
because it's really a two person job.
1000%.
And so single moms are like, seriously,
the unsung heroes of this society.
And it's about time they got their own TV show.
Yeah. And support-
And they couldn't have chosen a better person at the helm
than Miss Connie Britton.
Both like meaningful support,
because she said she was inspired to do a show like this
when she moved to Nashville to shoot Nashville
because she had just adopted her son, Yobi, from Ethiopia.
She said, I became a mom and then immediately moved
to Nashville to shoot the show.
I didn't have any support system there at all.
So it's about like providing support to single mothers
and then also hopefully like Parogenes and fabulosity.
Of course, enhancing their life aesthetically.
Right, she said that the show was highly emotional.
She said, I defy anyone to get through an episode
without laughing or crying because I believe
those things are essential to capture who we are
as human beings and also capturing our stories
and our unity.
No, this is mad cute, like literally love it.
Sign me up to watch it.
Yeah, I will totally watch it. I will totally cry.
Yeah. And I just love Connie Britton.
Yeah. And it's very unexpected.
So she obviously must feel very passionate about this.
It's not like, oh, the obvious next step for Connie
is to host a reality show about Shingle Mothers.
And I don't think that she is also like desperate for work.
I think she actually is like quite an in-demand working actress.
So if she wanted like a new show to be on
and make a lot of money, she could.
Yeah. So this is a passion project for sure. be on and make a lot of money, she could.
So this is a passion project for sure.
We'd love to see women out here doing their passions.
I mean, ain't that the truth?
Look at us.
We're losing passion.
Look at us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's beautiful, Jackie.
Well, those are the fast-track stories.
Those are good.
I enjoyed them.
And I try not to check my phone during the show,
because then I'll just get lost.
And I checked and I had so many text messages.
I saw you getting distracted.
I know, I checked, what did I open my phone for?
After I asked about Brunson Boys,
and then all of a sudden you're like,
oh yeah, fuck the Brunson Boys.
You made me open my texts, and it's so addictive.
So I just saw, I'm not having multiple texts,
threads popping off.
Some days I wrap the show and I have,
seriously not even one text message.
I'm like, wow, I'm a huge loser.
