Good morning, millennials. And welcome back to the toast and happy Friday. Really just that. That's like kind of the message. We can wrap up the show. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. What a great way to start any day when it's a Friday.

Like that's all you want all week. And now it's here. So we have to acknowledge the space. Waiting all week for Friday. Morning. I feel like Friday morning because everything's in front of you. The future is bright. Even Friday night. The future is female, as Justin in front of you. The future is bright. Even Friday night, like the future is female. It's Justin Baldoni would say the future

is female and bright. What did I make it? 25 seconds before bringing up Justin Baldoni. I'm sorry. I'm a woman possessed. I'm happy. We have a story, right? Yeah. We do have a story. If you can just like, wait, wait, I don't know. You're going to have to, otherwise we're going to waste a good surprise on you. Like, and what are we going to talk about when his time comes? Okay. So let me just. I hope that like you found your people who are also obsessed with this.

Okay. I have found my people. I'll say one thing. And then I, then I promise we'll move on from free pass five banner. I have definitely found my people of people who are suspicious, you know, but I have also met and encountered the people who are like ride or die Justin Baldoni like you can't say a bad word about him and they're basically just like really disappointed in me that I would like question him when he's so you know such an advocate for women right and my I just want to pose my question

to the Justin Baldoni stands and I'll leave it at that if Justin Baldoni is such an advocate for women like why does every woman on this cast hate him? That's just my question. That is my question. Why have they all unfollowed him? Why have they all acted like he's literally not in the room? I mean, it's a classic case of actions speak louder than words. Like you can say what you want, but if it's incongruous with your actions, like throw it in the bin.

Okay, British. Throw it in the bin. In the bin, mate. Classic. Okay, I'm done with that. Let's talk about our day. Sorry, Jackie and I went to a fabulous challah baking class, if you will. Yeah, event last night.

I love baking challah. I've never made challah before. Of course, I'm on my sourdough journey, so I'm constantly making bread. And I feel like I wind up making bread a lot on Fridays. And I'm like, I should be making challah. It's so much easier, too. It's so much easier. I do feel like I started up making bread a lot on Fridays. And I'm like, I should be making challah. It's so much easier too. It's so much easier. I do feel like I started with the hardest thing in baking.

So now everything will be a lot easier. But a lot goes into challah, like the braiding and just so many different things. And you need to understand why you're doing what you're doing. So the expert challah baker who taught the class last night, Rachi. Rachi Pinson. Yeah, some people start their challah baking journey like trial and tribulation. Not us. We got like the best recipe. We went straight to the top. Straight to the top. And we got her cookbooks. We got like a literal

demonstration in front of us. We got her recipe. We had all the ingredients were there. So last night we mixed our dough. Yeah. It proofed in the time between we finished the event and drove home. Then we put it in the fridge. So today when we take it out of the fridge, we're going to braid it and we're going to bake it. And we're so excited. No, I'm really excited. And after what I experienced yesterday, like I just feel deserving of a loaf of bread, you know? Yeah. What did you experience yesterday? The live method. Right. I'm broken. I feel like I have the flu. There was a loaf of bread waiting for you when you got home from the live method. Oh, was there. I had the best sourdough chicken sandwich. Like it was fucking delicious. But like, given what I went through yesterday, like it wasn't enough. Like I need more loaves of bread. The loaf of sourdough chicken sandwich. Like it was fucking delicious. But like given what I went through yesterday,

like it wasn't enough. Like I need more loaves of bread. The loaf of sourdough that I made yesterday, I took it out of the oven right before we started recording the toast. It was finished in this house in record time. I don't think it made it five hours. No, like there was like that little nub at the end

that everyone wants to eat except Charlie. Like it was- That's Charlie's little nub. I actually made two little nub pieces of toast. What are those things called? Like in a Wonder Bread, like the first and last piece. that we wanted to eat except Charlie. Like it was- That's Charlie's little nub. I actually made two little nub pieces of toast. What are those things called? Like in a Wonder Bread, like the first and last piece.

The end? Crust? Some people have a word for it. Yeah. Like bunt or like- Nub? Tushy or something. It's disgusting.

And the only person who likes it is baby Charlie. Cause it's like a little tea there. He can like suck on it. Bread for the whole family. But now he likes like the bread that you like. Of course. So everyone's competing. And I did make yesterday's loaf 12% bigger it's still it wasn't even that much bigger what

it was not enough bread for this family and I actually won't even make it 12 bigger again because it made it harder to cook so I'm gonna go back I'll just do two loaves which is what I'm doing today so we have two loaves of sourdough fermenting we have two loaves of four loaves of challah we made enough dough last night for four loaves looks like we'll be having french toast this weekend looks like we'll be having bread all weekend no and like as a part of my like program i have to go on a hike today like i'm seriously like i've had enough on day two i think i'm quitting like well i had the opposite experience because i did the peloton tread yesterday and i've always done tread workouts from my phone on like a normal person regular regular treadmill and i've always loved it and I finally got to use a Peloton treadmill and it was such a great experience it's a fabulous product like that is straight endorphins

no I'm seriously in hell like music and running and dancing and Olivia Amato when I signed up for this like program with the live method I was obviously like insane you know yeah how many what's the program you're doing four-week program like two really intense like what I did yesterday like personal training sessions strength training which is like workouts I've never done before like the movements I was like bench press no no like I know the classics like seriously some of this shit like curtsy lunging what like seriously next level twice a week and then like fun quote-unquote like active recovery so like a hike today pickleball like seriously i'm in hell like i'm in hell yeah are you gonna take row on the hike oh

not me literally forgetting about him or bro row is such a house dog like if he he's me if i were a dog like he doesn't like dog things like adventure like we let him out to pee and he runs straight back he doesn't like to explore or sniff he's just like chill that's not true yes it is always in the woods you're always like waiting for him to come down and he like tries to sneak out that was literally one time that he was in the woods he literally like i'll put him out i'm like go play like be he'll literally wait by the door and bark. Be like, someone let me in, please. Like he's so me coded in that sense. Like a true lap dog. So he's not going hiking today. I don't think he would like it.

Romeo, seriously, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. Purness, come here. Watch after your little cousin. Romeo, come here.

You guys can do National Geographic if you want. Yeah. Okay. That's quieter than barking yeah um wrestling they've been watching a lot of olympics really being inspired by all of the wrestlers so i don't think he would even enjoy a hike and then it's like more work for me i gotta like pick up a shit like i'm already like stressed enough with my hike you know yeah okay well good luck with that i'm seriously considering canceling.

No one would blame you. No, like day two canceling for sure. So we've got a great show. We have a lot of stories developing over the course of the week, things we've been talking about. Queenie and Weenie of the week came to me so easy this week. Of course. No, but I know what you think I'm going to do and I'm going to surprise you a little

bit. Okay. Yeah. I know everybody thought like Blake, Queenie, Justin, Weenie you're not totally off but you're not 100% I don't think there's a world in which Justin Baldoni isn't your weenie of the week and I feel like if he's not then you're not being true to yourself and maybe you're gonna put a spin on it like the Justin Baldoni stand no no no no that but like when you think about your week as a glance at a glance like your weenie is justin meldoni i'm not gonna spoil it but just know what you're gonna hear from

me is a true reflection of my soul and you will understand why i'm not i'm not listening to the haters like just will you trust me i i have to just trust me okay this whole show is a game of trust that's true that's true but just it's a trust fall baby just know it's a trust fall baby you're just not ready for what i'm gonna do in queenie and weenie like no one's ready for what i'm gonna serve what i'm gonna serve up today okay but i want you to be true to yourself trust and believe romeo oh he's vying for weenie with the bark literally if I didn't have so many contenders in weenie maybe he would be one but it was impossible to choose one today okay just be true to yourself that's all we ask it's all I ever am like I don't like what you're

insinuating no I know but I feel like you're gonna try and reinvent the wheel for weenie when it's like Claudia's weenie was consumed her week was consumed by one weenie in particular this week and that was the man named justin baldoni so i look forward to seeing your spin on it and how you make it your own but we also know the truth without you even having to utter a word okay okay okay fair is fair and what else before we let you go into the weekend. Oh, I really have nothing. Yeah, we are so excited about all of our baking today. We have a full day stacked.

And we've got great stories, actually. We have a lot to talk about. And so I feel like ready. You feel comfortable? I feel ready to get into it because everything else that I would want to talk about right now does come up in this story. So let's just go straight. Let's just go.

promo code toast hello tushy.com promo code toast also i'm sorry like a brand using the word tushy like i'm gonna be your number one customer. Tushy is my favorite word. It is. I think they knew that about us, which is why they sponsored a symbiotic relationship. Totally. Our first story is actually going to be some Olympics recap because the Olympics are ending on Sunday. So this is actually the last show of the toast where we will have an active Olympics going on. And I have like a hot take. What? Like I'm so over the Olympics. Like, well, I think it's time. No, like I've been over it for a few days like and there's still some exciting things happening like sadie mclaughlin has my heart but i don't know ever since gymnastics

ended like i'm just over it like it's not hitting i do feel like that is just a true statement yeah um but things are still going on we're still watching every day but the closing ceremony is on sunday night and we've gotten some entertainment news about who will be participating. So as we know, next Olympics are in Los Angeles. So as part of the opening ceremony, closing ceremony on Sunday night, there will be a bit of a passing of the baton. Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to perform at the closing ceremony. So the handoff of the Summer Olympic Games from Paris to LA just got louder.

Performances by Billie Eilish, Snoopop dogg and the red hot chili peppers are expected to be in the closing ceremony of the paris games on sunday multiple sources have told variety all three artists will be seen from la in a mix of pre-taped and live performances yeah the producer for these performances is the guy who did the adele one night only special. Oh, well, that was good. So it's a mix of live and pre-taped. I guess they're all going to be in L.A., but it wouldn't have made sense for Snoop to do it in Paris. Maybe his is live from Paris. Perhaps. Yeah, no, I am confused. Also, like Charlie XCX tweeted and like trying to like subtly nod that she was going to be there. It was so overt. So Charlie XCX is also performing because she has a new song with Billie Eilish.

Will she, so they're probably in LA for sure. But yes, Snoop Dogg is in Paris. I don't know why he would go back. It being live and like not in Paris, like is less exciting. Um,

and I guess like my dreams of Taylor Swift performing, especially given what's gone on this week, like maybe it was never happening or maybe it was. And now it's not, I like to believe the latter. Um, cool. Like I'm excited for LA 2028, but I really, I can't get too excited about not. I like to believe the latter. Cool. Like I'm excited for

LA 2028, but I really, I can't get too excited about it. It's truly four years away. I have to keep that in mind. I keep talking about it like it's next year. Yeah. Well, security has been like top of mind given everything that happened this week. And actually in a nod to those fears, like they haven't even told variety where it's being held. Good. Yeah. So I think everyone's taking that really seriously, but it's exciting. Like the French have called in the Americans one to pass the baton, but to like, they needed help from an entertainment value perspective.

Like we definitely, we definitely shine. We shine. It's a kind of our thing. Yeah. No. And they have their, they have fashion.

Of course. No, they have art culture, Louis Vuitton, like history. Yeah. When you think about like the great American designers, there are a couple,

we have some, but they're not as old ofon. History. Yeah. When you think about like the great American designers, there are a couple. We have some, but they're not as old of houses. Exactly. As the French. And this is an entertainment show. So they called the big wigs. Now we can evaluate the three performers.

Of course, as you guys know, like these aren't the three I would have chosen. No, of course, but they are popular. They are popular. I think Snoop Dogg is a great choice because he's literally been the face of the Olympics for the last two weeks. Billie Eilish is by the way she's very global and she's

very like young so I think that's like a strategic move which I understand the red hot chili peppers for me like I'm the lore of the red hot chili peppers definitely like surpassed like it was a little bit before my time but it's my understanding like them performing is like a really big deal right I guess so for for a unique community for a unique community that's a beautiful way to put it because of course you guys know like i'm all set i didn't you know for us it would be like katie perry taylor swift and serena carpenter however i will say that i think when you put a venn diagram of like billy eilish snoop dogg and Chili Peppers, you really cover most of the country. It's true.

And most of people's musical interests. So for that, job well done. Because everybody, it's a, it's the closing ceremony is for everyone. You also have to. It's not just for sorrelies. Keep in mind, this is the Paris closing ceremony. We're not going to give like all of our best and brightest. Right.

To them. Like we still have to plan for our opening ceremony. And I don't really think you can do both. I actually think it would be really great continuity if you did both. Maybe Billie Eilish walks out on one side of the stage and then she starts the opening ceremony walking out again.

And you could stitch the two together. I do think the Beyonce's, the Taylor Swift's, they will be, if we're going to use them, we're holding them for when it's our real turn. And if I'm them, i want an opening ceremony yeah what are the percentages of people who watch the closing ceremony versus the opening it's not the big one i agree but all in the opening i think what you said is is perfectly put like between the three of them you're covering all fans of music yeah so that's good yeah And it will air on Sunday night. And that's

that on the Olympics after that. We also have a little bit like other miscellaneous Olympics news. There was one Olympian, a female who won and proposed to her boyfriend and they needed to know your thoughts. You guys know my thoughts. Like don't put me in a position where you know, I need to be a hater. Like it's super cute. I personally like hate, hate, hate. I'm like so like toxically gender typical when it comes to relationships, like hetero relationships. And I'm sorry, like boys propose to girls.

I just, I hate the other, like my favorite book ever was ruined on the last page when the girl proposed to the boy. Like, hey, I'm sorry. And you can come at me and tell, like, I don't care I hate it yeah but what if it was Cody Simpson's girlfriend hey no and like I understand like he couldn't have proposed to her because like it's her moment I get it but I hate no I I really

agree wholeheartedly like I just think like I and I love like work like women are doing everything and I love that like I really look at me I a business owner. Like why do we have to do everything? I want to do less. Oh, well, that's for sure. I want to do less. But also like I'm a big proponent of women doing everything if they want to. Like for real, like do the most. Do as much as you want.

Except this one thing. Like for real, I don't believe in women proposing. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm with you on that. So that was something. Also, Colin Jost had to leave his position judging or hosting in whatever the fuck he was doing because he got like a foot injury and a number of infections

while serving as the surfing correspondent. I just want to say that is so me. Whenever I go to like an island, I come back with some sort of like bug bite. Yeah, like a special bug bit me that I'm not used to like I is Colin Joe's Jewish because this is very Jewish it is it's giving like weak stomach no literally he also had an ear infection no that's so me like jumping too hard in the pool like getting water in my ear you know it's going great when you've been to the Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes. No, if he's not Jewish, his Jewish wife is like rubbing off on him so much because

like I totally I respect this. Like that's that's how you go out. Yes. And also Katie Ledecky will be serving as a flag bearer for the closing ceremony. That's interesting to choose like for the closing ceremony, because I think for the opening ceremony, everybody has promise and potential. But then like the closing ceremony should be the goats. Right. And actually, you know, know yesterday speaking of lebron goats i watched america versus serbia and i think the serbian basketball team is really the only team that was going to give america a run for their money and america was down the entire time at one point they were down by 17 points and steph curry was like i'm not going out like this like steph curry

is the reason why we won everybody else is like kind of stinking lebron and i don't watch a lot of basketball so like i know these are the greats Kevin Durant LeBron I just want to say like they were not playing so good Serbia was like kind of eating them up yeah and then Steph Curry was like absolutely not absolutely not and we won that would be really humiliating if they don't win gold when like we have the biggest and it's not even a competition like the people who don't make the NBA go and play in Europe yeah yeah no Yeah. No, it was like, seriously, it was almost embarrassing for a second. And everybody is saying like Serbia is because there are a couple of key NBA players who are Serbian.

Serbic? Serbian. Yeah. Who are from Serbia and Serbs. I don't know. Serbian Serbs. Who are Serbian citizens. Citizens of Serbia.

And they were playing on behalf of serbia oh i want to talk about by the way because you said citizens of serbia is this what you want to talk about because like you don't even have to be a citizen the rules for like who plays for which country are so willy-nilly okay so i have some thoughts because i've been seeing a pattern and maybe this is me being like a toxic american where i think we're better than everyone because we are i have seen like far too many athletes who literally live in America, train in America, like use American facilities. Okay, that guy, he went viral for breaking the pole vaulting jump

and then ran to his girlfriend who's like a TikToker. He lives in America. Okay, so many of the gymnasts from, I forgot what country, the Philippines. Like go to LSU and. Yeah. But here's a good analogy because like those Serbian basketball players who play in the NBA here like they should go back and play for Serbia I agree I think it should be about like where you're born because a lot I think it goes all

the way up to um grandparents like if your grandparents were born in a certain country like you can play that's what happened with a lot of the gymnasts they're from California were born in America and you were born in America and everything you've done is american i guess if you didn't like make the american team yeah go and play yeah somewhere else maybe like cody simpson has a grandparent who's from a country that doesn't swim well and maybe next there's always next year in four years i just find that interesting i just feel like the people who are like sometimes beating us like you're better because like you used us i don't know i'm just like it's interesting but do you feel that way about Serbia because that's exactly what you just described didn't know no that's not what I'm talking about I'm not talking about the Serb this the Serbian

men who play on behalf of Serbia of course they should like you're literally Serbian I'm talking about the girls who were like born in California yeah and whose grandparents are you know from somewhere else but I guess like if they probably couldn't make the American team so it's more so about like just getting to the Olympics I don't know I don't know I feel conflicted about it I'm not 100% sure my thoughts on it no I feel like the country you're born in I can play so too you can play for the country you're born in or the country you reside in whichever one has a lot of people have like you know dual citizenship right yeah and that works too or because you're born in country reside in or a country you're a citizen of yeah it's just like i was i forget what i was

watching and it was like you know california native parents born in california yeah trains with simone you know and like at the same gym they're all like training in houston i'm like what the fuck yeah so i don't know i i don't know what the official olympic rules are i'm sure i could look it up on like the committee website. And I'm sure it's like a citizen. I think it's a grandparent who's like a natural born citizen. It's giving like who can run for president. I don't know.

I just find it interesting. We just kind of have our hands all over the Olympics. Yeah. We're in first. Yeah. We have the most gold medals. Yeah. We just are the first country to surpass a hundred medals.

Although I do. China's in second. Who's in third? Australia. I do then have another thought no wonder why cody simpson didn't make it let me let me tell you another thought of mine while it's impressive that we have the most oh romeo you barked to get out now you want to bark to get in i don't think so it is impressive that we have the most uh medals but we also have the

most olympians i feel like it should really be based on percentage oh someone should calculate that and let us know yeah because yeah like slay but we also watched the opening ceremony we had the biggest boat yeah we have almost 600 olympians and china has a lot of olympians but not as many as us so i wonder ratio wise i bet you china percentage base like if it was a bmi index they. And I'm sure like Chinese media is running graphics that like we have the most, that China has the most medals per person. And they would be right for that.

And we're right for saying we have the most medals total. Correct. See, everyone has their truth, you guys. Also, Katie Ledecky will be bearing the flag alongside American rower, Nick Mead, who captured gold as a member of the men's Coxless Four squad. That's funny.

Who should bear the flag for the American men? I think, I mean, I'm happy for Nick Mead. He seems very worthy. I do feel like there were a couple of American men who went, who did really well. Like the vault guy with the glasses. He's kind of been like a symbol. Yeah, the male gymnast

oh totally it should be him yeah or Noah Lyles it's political because there's like a committee for the LA 28 Olympics Katie Ledecky is like a committee member and she has said she doesn't even know if she's going to swim like if she's physically able to she will but if she's not like she won't but she still is a part of the committee so I'm sure that's why she was selected I guess it would be like what other Olympians but I'm down to like promote true Olympians not people who have other jobs like Coco and LeBron they were great they're great representations of America but these are people who make so much money like yeah we need to there's so many Olympics who like work two jobs like that guy oh my god that swimmer I was so happy for him Nick Fink he has like a day job he's like a project manager and then he goes to the at night like he works so hard we need to give

those people a little bit a little bit of a platform so they can get some sponsorships and quit their jobs i completely agree or just have even more shine save up buy a house and keep their job but they also had this like big olympic moment and all their work was for something really substantial right maybe not the glasses vaulter for the flag bearing because he didn't win gold like he did an amazing thing. But like going viral doesn't mean bearing the flag. Yeah. I think it's got to be a goldie.

Yeah. Who is a man who won gold? So many of the swimmers. Oh, Caleb Dressel. But then we have two swimmers. But also, but that's true. But America slayed the house down in boots. Yeah, I guess we've definitely won gold in like some random shit, you know.

Fencing. Right. shit you know fencing right it's always fencing i mean the wrestling queen yeah but but when it comes to like a female olympic queen it's either going to be katie ledecky or simone miles i'm happy with either choice agreed and congrats to katie congrats to the reds and i wonder if simone is still even there she was posting a tiktok like she looked like she was in like a French place having champagne with her sister. Oh, cute. She said, if there's a drink, I'm gonna have it. It's like a TikTok sound.

That's really cute. And she's of age. So that's good. Yeah. Okay. So that's your Olympics catch up. Yes. We'll probably have one more on Monday with like a ceremony, like a full weekend.

Out of glands. Out of glands. But I do think, you know know not to jinx it i feel like the olympics have been a great success this year it started off really bad with the opening ceremony and i and i said that but i feel like based on what i've seen on tv and from people who were there like i feel like it was actually pretty well run except for the send situation um and you know like the horse equestrian at versailles like there was some really cool stuff going on i think they did a good job it's it's hard logistics wise to organize that many

people yeah in a city that operates the city's still paris gonna live paris gonna read yeah so i think they're doing a really good job actually that's beautiful however like let's get something else going for the closing ceremony yeah keep like the demonic nature of it at bay. A little shake it up Chicago. Like a little sunshine, a little positivity. Correct. A little love, right? Yeah.

I think that would be good. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Justin Baldoni. That's the story. The story like, you know, technically is the fact that he suggested that Blake Lively should direct the sequel.

Oh, okay. I sent you this because it's layered. Yeah. So it ends with us. There is a second book that came out called It Starts With Us. It is the sequel to It Ends With Us. So he was on the red carpet and he was asked if he would like direct the sequel for that one.

I mean, it's a pretty logical next step and a good question. And he said, quote, I think that there are better people for that one. I think Blake Lively's ready to direct. That's what I think. When, which event did he say this at? This was at the New York City premiere on Tuesday. So like the day, the next day, like last night, Blake Lively was in London for the London premiere and she looked insane.

Yeah. Am I the only one who didn't see Justin there? I didn't look for, like I only follow accounts that would show me a photo of Blake. I don't follow accounts that like keep tabs on Justin Maldoni. By the way, it's so true. So this was a really interesting pull quote. The one that everyone's really harping on is because the theory going around now is that like Blake really, this was like Justin's project. He found the book, he optioned it. Like he was passionate about this woman's story and Blake sort of like took over creatively. Like her and her husband were writing scenes. She was like

directing him at points. And that started a lot of the creative tension when it comes to like editing. Apparently there was like a Blake's version going around of how she would have had the movie edited. And then there was a Justin movie and then it went with Justin's. And that's, to me, that doesn't explain why everyone else on the cast, Jenny Slate, the young actors, Colleen herself, why everyone seemingly, it's not just Blake versus Justin. It's very much like everyone versus Justin. Well, no, that still seems congruous. If he was being like not the best director when there was a woman right there who was

doing his job better than him and he was not letting her do it while also claiming to be a champion of women's voices and women's stories and it's like well you're you know man stomping all over this i feel like everyone and the other people really are women sure there's brendan sclar but it's jenny slate and colleen hoover like and i'm sure they're swirlies along with blake okay blake so yes you saw this beautiful outfit you wear this red shawl and this was at the london um screening of it ends with us uk gala he was not there that's weird no yeah i guess so so him suggesting that blake apparently like and this is what people were rumored before you know we saw that he had said this was that like blake

went behind his back and got herself a deal to direct the second movie she really wanted to direct it um and now he's like getting out in front of it and being like, you know, I think like she should direct it. But apparently there were two versions, one that was like Blake's cut and one that were Justin cut and they had them both like tested, screen tested, and Justin's was better. Got it. So I don't know. Everything, like literally everything you're hearing here is like circumstantial and just like rumors and theories although so much of what the cast is acting at like is posting saying acting is congruous with a lot of the rumors and theories so it's hard not to get swept up in it like the fact that Blake you know went behind his back to get herself a deal to direct the second movie and then he's on the

red carpet saying I think Blake should do it yeah I don't think she went behind his back because I think the person you have to go to is Colleen, who they're probably sitting on the couch and being like, you should do the second movie. Like, I feel like Justin's participation was not enjoyable for everyone. So there's no way on earth they're going to give him like more. Colleen was on Watch What Happens Live last night and it was it was prerecorded, which was annoying because I think it was before this whole thing blew up. And, you know, the only person who would have asked real questions is Andy. Um, but she said something that raised a couple of red flags. She said she was asked like if she is, um, has any say as the author in casting. And she said, I don't, but I wish I did in regards to casting, but also if she

gets like veto power over anything. Okay. But that has nothing to do with Justin Baldoni because he's the reason there is this movie he was the number he was person number one on the project she gave it to him like she could have withheld giving it so no I don't think I think it just would be fun to have say in casting yeah she was on with Emily Simpson from Real Housewives of Orange County and she said Emily she like requested to be on with Emily Emily's her favorite housewife of all time, which I thought was interesting too. That is so funny. I need to know what else they spoke about because there are so many things to talk to Colleen about. No, it's kind of, and like, I love that she was on.

Like, I feel like they don't have a lot of like, like Emily Henry, like you don't get to go on Watch What Happens Live for that. And I feel like Colleen is very interesting. Colleen is also like a big time swirly. Yeah. She loves housewives. So I feel like it was probably an amazing episode. No, but she's like a huge name in pop culture, but like not in

a conventional way. But if you do a pop culture show, like it makes complete sense to have her on because that's the sort of person people want to hear from. Yeah. There are so many things to ask her. Yeah. Oh, wow. I will want to watch that. Yeah, me too. So my real working theory is like creative differences, Blake being more popular on set because like she's just a ray of light and he seems like really someone I would never want to spend time with yeah right um and then him being that sort of person like having issues with the fact that like Blake's winning the popularity contest and she's you know usurping him in the artistic and directorial sphere and that just

like building up to now they all have to be in public together and they can't hang that's what i think yeah i don't know if there's like this big thing that happened that we don't know about no i think it's a lot of little things and personality clashes these are people with like really big personalities and big egos and he seems like an egomaniac and people didn't like like his comrades didn't like the work that he was doing like yeah he's gonna be a little muddy about that watch out yeah also to say plus it seems like he's only gotten like positive up until this point he was existing in a vacuum yeah up until like women who were obsessed with him because he talks about like being vulnerable yeah and then like he goes into

like the big boy pond yeah all of a sudden he's not like the coolest, most interesting, most talented person on set. By the way, what you just said is so factual. Like, like you said, and I think after you said this on the toast yesterday, so many people agreed with you. Like they had never heard of Justin Baldoni. So people who know him and watch that show, like obviously like what you don't know him, but in the grand scheme at a glance, big bang theory, like a lot of people didn't know who this person was, but he was like a hero in his own universe that he had created with like his proposal video and fans of this one show that he was on and this was a huge opportunity for him and he entered like the big leagues of like hollywood and of movie making

and i think you're right like i think like he walked in being like i'm just about don't even my shit doesn't stink and like it kind of smells and everyone said who are you no and I'm like what does anybody smell that it kind of is smelly and I think that was probably the first time like the the way he sees himself and the way other people see him like kind of clashed yeah and that must have been hard for someone with a big ego and like Blake is as big of a star as maybe he thought that he was so I think being in her shadow he's not the man to live in a woman's shadow. And there is like a big conversation being had now about how the two of them

are promoting this movie very differently. You know, Blake Lively is being very glitz, glam, you know, promoting her new hair company, which we were just talking about. And he is taking like a much more serious approach because this is a movie that covers a serious topic. And, you know, we need to be less glitzy and less glammy because this movie you know covers the topic of domestic violence and I feel like people are

treating this movie so crazily like it's the first movie to ever tackle any sort of serious subject you know and I said this yesterday and I can't stop making the comparison but like it's important to remember there were movies made about Hitler you know know? And this is a story that's, it's not based on a true story. It's just, um, Colleen Hoover's mom escaped an abusive situation. So that inspired this story that she created. Like Lily is not Colleen's mom. So this isn't like a true, a true person's story. I think a lot of people see themselves reflected in it, but it's not like an actual story. And like, it's okay that it's a movie and that we're like having fun, like, you know, putting on pretty dresses.

Like people are being so serious about this movie as if like other movies have never been made about serious things. Right. And it's not like the most serious book. Right. By the way, it's important to remember when the book came out, it has been marketed as like a romance smut novel. Yeah. Yeah.

With that actually winds up being way more serious than you expect. But like, you know, if I post a picture of the book cover on the beach, like, am I not taking it seriously? So true that people are acting like it's Winston Churchill. And even still, you could post Winston Churchill on the beach. Of course. I don't know a book that you couldn't post on the beach. Right.

And I don't know a book that you couldn't a movie that you couldn't star in and wear a pretty dress and, you know, sell products. Every movie that's promoted is dark. Like Oppenheimer, did they have a bigger thing? It was about an atomic bomb. So true. But it was like Barbenheimer, like we were having fun. Yeah. Movies are fun. Yeah. Even when they're serious. No. So people are just like taking the moral high ground here in defense of Justin Baldoni, because a lot of his fans like can't imagine that perhaps he is you know maybe a little toxic and I don't know any of this to be true by the way this is just like how I'm perceiving

the situation and I just want to say I could be 100% wrong I don't think that I am I don't know that toxic but I think insufferable and I come into this like totally unbiased I think a lot of the Justin Baldoni fans can't say the same like I obviously like don't love Justin Baldoni but I don't know him and I didn't know him before. I feel like I'm coming at this really genuinely unbiased. Maybe that's crazy to me. Yeah, but I think you came at it maybe one way, but now you're in a position of bias. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because I formed an opinion. Yeah, as you should. Thank you. Are you ready for our next story? Number three. Yes. Oh, my God. This story is so weird to me.

Luis Ruelas, Teresa Giudice's husband forlorn husband was on their joint podcast so Teresa's podcast which by the way this is also just a small nugget of the story but I think is interesting kind of big news Teresa has a podcast called turning the table she's had it for a few years she's to co-host it with her friend whose name is Melissa but it was called nam Bitches when Melissa was on it. Right. And not Melissa Gorga, like her other friend named Melissa. Who's like a Pilates instructor.

And then she rebranded her podcast to be called Turning the Tables. And now her husband co-hosts it with her. So just an interesting, you know, fact in the story, in the overarching story, that this woman got the boot. And they had the podcast together for many years. And like two months ago, he took it over. And I actually think it did really well. Like I would see it in the charts a lot. And a lot of things that she said, like would be get picked up by media, like as good of a podcast by a reality star as you could hope for. I completely

agree. I don't know why, but I do think turning the tables is such a good name for a podcast. And I actually don't think a worst name for a podcast had ever existed until she came out with namaste bitches. Like one of the worst names for a podcast, like whoever came up with that, like is bad at their job, should seriously become a firefighter, like something completely different. Turning the Table should have been the name of her podcast all along. Yes. So now it's called Turning the Table. She hosts it with Luis and they had a conversation about blending their face. Luis. I wasn't like thinking about what I know. I was just reading. You know what I mean? And there's an S there. Like I feel that.

So we know Teresa has her four daughters. Louis is dad to two sons who are 23 and 20 from his previous marriage. During his chat with Teresa, Louis emphasized the importance of living one's youth to the fullest and admitted to telling her daughters, quote, try it all, you know, nothing bad or anything like that. But I'm saying like, go to the club and dance, wear a thong, wear a short skirt, show your legs off a little bit. He said, because they're, quote, the most proper girls he's ever met and he wants them to take risks. Quote, he said this, quote, we went to Greece last year. you know what I told your daughters wear a thong do it now do it now because I didn't do it when I was young do it now experience it now Louie added that when the

girls eventually quote came out in the thong unquote his response was quote you look fucking amazing unquote oh my god as for Teresa no for teresa no claudia oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god as for teresa she seemed on board with her husband's remarks quote yes unquote she exclaimed i have to add the quotes because you guys like need to know what they said verbatim she exclaimed while nodding sharing that she she too feels like she missed out on more of her carefree years i don't think that's exactly what he was saying. Well, that's the thing. Like if he had not made this creepy as fuck, I endorse the message. It's like, you know, you only have so many years where you can be carefree and reckless. It's kind of like when Norma Kamali came on the toes, what she said, like

your twenties are for going to the edge of the cliff and like dancing the night away. And so that overarching message, he, I understood what he was trying to say. He took it to a place. And at first I thought he was being hypothetical. message, he, I understood what he was trying to say. He took it to a place. And at first I thought he was being hypothetical. Like, yeah, wear the thong. But the fact that there was an actual instance where he literally made them go in the house and put on a thong and come out and like show the thong off to him. Jail.

I have the willies. Jail. And like, here's the thing. I feel like if a mother said this, especially someone like with a big, if Teresa had said this, it's like a little cringe, but like, okay, I guess we know what you're trying to say. If their father had said it like icky, the fact that it's their stepfather saying this, news is so icky, sticky and gives me the willies. Like this is such a bad story.

And there are stepfathers who like, you know, are like, you know, I'm not, I'm the stepfather. I'm the father who stepped up. Like there are people who have raised those kids. He did not. No, he's two years into this. He's a stranger. This is disgusting.

And it's important to note this podcast episode, they're in Greece now. This podcast episode was prerecorded because they knew that the finale was airing and what happened

in the finale was so shocking. And Teresa comes off looking so bad. so they had this sort of like emergency episode that they pre-recorded so this was like a very intentional episode this was probably edited heavily they probably watched it a couple of times before they went on their trip because everyone is talking about this finale and they were looking for their official response and this is this is something how is this pre-recorded but they're in Greece now they were talking about their trip from Greece last year oh oh but this episode was pre-recorded before that they left so before they left so they could have some sort of response up in their own

words and something that they're in control of to sort of respond to what happened with jackie and margaret in the finale so this was like this was a not just an episode you recorded and put out like whatever this was like a really sort of well thought out intentional they probably listened to it a couple times they probably cut out a couple of things and this still made it no and i'm sure that they have like at least one producer like someone who works for them who cares about their careers because their personal career is tied to their careers and that this wasn't taken out is so stupid no it's really disgusting a disgusting thing to say and I think the overall message that like I think Teresa probably thought she was endorsing which is like live life take chances this is the time you're only young once

does not mean wear a thong no not at all does not mean wear a thong, show your legs, and wear a short skirt. No, I'm sorry. Anybody who talks about underage girls like that, let alone underage girls you're related to, but just any underage girl seriously has problems. I'm nauseated. I'm proud, proud to say I never liked this man. From the moment he came on my screen, I thought he was a fucking freak. You know I haven't watched this season,

so I'm sure he's done a lot of like offensive things. Of everything I've seen him do since he's come into the public spaces, Teresa's man, this is the most nauseating worst thing I've heard. So he's also under fire now for saying something else really bad about Margaret Joseph's son. Right. And Andy Cohen weighed in on it last night saying like, it's probably like, he said it's like one of the worst things. If that was me,

I would go mental. What he had said, I hope her fucking son suffers the way I suffered, the way other people in our family suffered dealing with a woman like that. What? And Margaret is really private about her kids.

It's not like Gia, who's putting on glam to be in confessional. Even then, nobody talks about Gia like that because even though she's literally a full-time castmate, there is a level of protection for Gia,'s putting on glam to be a confessional even then nobody talks about Gia like that because right even though she's literally a full-time cast mate there is a level of protection for Gia who is Teresa's daughter she's of age and she's like a full-time I think she gets paid to be on the show but there's still a level of protection Margaret has never she doesn't even talk about her son like

she wants her son no part of this cesspool and you can imagine why look how he talks about Gia it was really he's awful. I mean, Teresa is just, they're just, and you know, I feel like there's a little bit of room and grace we give Teresa because like you said, I don't think she even understands half the time what's going on.

She's like low IQ. However, like at what point does that stop being an excuse? A man over here is talking about your daughter's wearing thongs. Like. No, it stopped being an excuse for me like a while ago yeah i mean i think with joe and like the prison thing i fully believe with

my whole soul like teresa had no idea she was breaking the law yeah i don't think she was seriously intellectually capable of understanding what she was doing that's where we the grace is given after she got back from prison and like you realize that your low intellect and like lack of interest in what was going on around you, put you in jail, you're going to carry that energy still now? I'm sorry, no. Yeah, no, and these are simple concepts here.

Yeah. It's not like mortgage fraud, confusing documents. It's incest, it's pedophilia. I'm talking inappropriately, creepily about daughters. Young women who are your daughters and his stepdaughters. Very simple. Disgusting. your daughters and his stepdaughters. Very simple. Disgusting. Disgusting. I feel sick. I feel like vomiting. Me too. Are you ready for our next story? Are you?

enjoying it. We do. Okay, our next story, a little Las Vegas residency news. A new artist is going to the Strip. A new bombshell enters the villa. Blake Shelton has set six performances at the Coliseum at Caesars Palacios. In February 2025, Blake Shelton is taking six performances at the Coliseum at Caesars Palacce in February 2025. Blake Shelton is taking his show to Vegas on Thursday. Live Nation announced that the country music star is launching a mini residency at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace, the real Caesars Palace, with six performances scheduled from February 5th to February 15th, 2025. OK, we are guilty of this, too, but I'm really tired of people misusing the word residency.

Like six shows. I know we did it because we did like eight shows in New York. It's different, by the way. No, for sure, because we're joking. And Blake Shelton, like this is not a residency. No, and I think the word Vegas residency means something different than the word residency. Yes. Vegas residency is Britney.

It's Celine. It's Donny and Marie. It's months long. It's months. It's years. anyone who's coming to Vegas knows that they're there they just hole up there and they are there to entertain whenever you come through and it's really like a latter half of someone's career decision like sorry like Katy Perry even sorry Lady Gaga Kelly Clarkson like you're those are not residencies those are

not residencies yeah I but I do think like we've accepted like, Kelly Clarkson, like, those are not residencies. Those are not residencies. Yeah, but I do think, like, we've accepted, like, what Kelly Clarkson's residency, like, that is a residency. It's months long, whatever. Like, that shall stay. Adele is a residency. Yeah, weeks long, five shows, not a residency.

Agreed, Jonas Brothers. Donny and Marie, like, they set the bar, but, like... Oh, and you just know Donny and Marie are, like, watching this with every news story, just rolling their eyes, like, disgracing what they have worked so hard for. But when someone is there over the course of months and the better part of a year, like I will allow that to be a residency. I don't know if you saw Adele is doing a different residency now in Munich in this like enormous open Palace and like a full orchestra. It looks, it was just the first opening night, which is why I said to you yesterday in the car,

like, let's listen to Adele. I've been having an Adele residency, residency. Renaissance. Because so many of these videos from this opening night went viral. It looked so insanely beautiful. I don't know how that impacts her Vegas residency. And I know she has said

she really likes doing Vegas residency, but she wants to go back on tour. That's a residency. That's, how long have we been talking about that? Years now. Well, years also because of the drama kerfuffle yeah when did it really start though I'm not sure all's that to say Blake Shelton this is not a residency you're doing a couple of shows in Vegas but you know I hope you have a good time I hope your fans enjoy it maybe it's like a test run I think for a lot of people these mini runs are a test run to

see if ticket sales are see if they could do this you know long term and i think that might be what's happening for blake shelton because he's definitely in this sort of not retirement but slower phase and and i think a biggest residency would actually be really good for him yeah carrie underwood did this too sorry it wasn't a residency it was a couple of shows it was more than a couple it wasn't blake it wasn't five shows the jonas brothers did this like actually four shows okay yeah not a residency I think like Drake like did a couple shows not a residency not a residency Cardi B right well if you've been wanting to see Blake Shelton February is your chance our fifth and final story a little Katy Perry news what is Queen getting into today Katy Perry

reveals the very weird thing she does before bed okay also i saw katie perry news that i almost sent you today she has on her album which is you know highly anticipated by the two of us a collab with kim petras which i love because i love kim petras but people are freaking because they're like the two queens in pop who refuse to stop working with dr luke so like now they're joining forces with dr lu Luke. Okay. Weird flex for both of them. She also, a new song of hers came out. I missed it. It came out on Thursday. It's called like Freedom or something.

I missed it too. And I did want to listen to it. I won't pull it up right now, but I can't believe I missed it when I'm like, you know, sitting here waiting for new Katy Perry. It is sad. It's called Lifetimes, not Freedom. It's sad that, you know, Woman's World really came and went.

And I didn't even see one piece of news about the second song. Like she's really. I refuse to call it this because I'm enjoying. Like I love Woman's World. And I think I'm really going to like her album. But I do think like everyone else would be calling this like a flop era. Yeah. But I think we're in the middle of the era.

So it's too soon to call it. No, and like it's not. It's not too soon to help. Like feel free to stream Woman's World a flop era. Yeah. But I think we're in the middle of the era, so it's too soon to call it. No, and like, it's not too soon to help. Like, feel free to stream Woman's World where we are. No, and Woman's World is really good. It's on my playlist. I listen to it every morning when I get ready. It's incredible. Yeah.

Anyway, so she did British Vogue's In the Bag series and showed what's in her bag. And she took out- Oh, that's like low bar. I feel like what's in my bag is like for Z-listers. Yeah, but like when British Vogue is doing it, it's fancy. Yeah. No, that's like low bar i feel like what's in my bag is like for z-listers yeah but like when british vogue is doing it it's fancy yeah no that's fine okay if it's a british vogue series like if it was you know i think it's a good sign if it was us weekly yeah we've got a problem houston we got a problem she took a lint roller out of her bag and she said, quote, I swear by my lint roller. I will lint roll the bottom of my feet before I get into bed.

Is that weird? Do we all have things like that? I think we do. I just shared mine with the world. Oh my God. Celebrities love to do like mundane things and be like, stop. I'm so quirky. I'm so weird.

No. It's Jessica Alba eating yogurt in the shower. Right. Beale. Jessica Beale eating in the shower right Beale Jessica Beale eating in the shower however I feel like that one was a little fake yeah I think this is real no and I think it's like a good call I think a lot of us like dust off our feet before bed like she uses a limp roller it's not like a weird thing it's kind of like oh good life hack yeah um I

just know she like pulled that limp roller out of her bag and being like oh this people are gonna eat this up. Like they're going to think I'm so crazy. I'm so crazy. But no, it's pretty practical. No. The one thing that celebrities shared that they did that people really found

strange was when Mila and Ashton Kutcher admitted that their kids haven't had a shower with soap in like 10 years. They like, they just rinse them with water. Like, no, that is definitely something worth talking about. Yeah.

It wasn't 10 years, but they don't get a bath with, they don't get a bath every day and they don't use soap every day. Like, or they, something worth talking about. Yeah. It wasn't 10 years, but they don't get a bath with, they don't get a bath every day and they don't use soap every day. Like, or they, I don't know. So for special occasions. And then other celebrities were like, yeah, we're kind of the same. Like I think Dax and Kristen also, but that I think is, I, I guess, you know, taking a shower every day is something I feel like is very habitual

for us and you feel the need to take shower. But if you like big bang theory it, like I don't think we need to shower every day as human beings. Well, if you have like a hard day on the rig, you know, I feel comfortable saying I don't shower every day. Like I shower every day more so for me than like,

I think that I have to, if there are days where like, I seriously am like going to bed in the clothes I woke up in and like, I didn't work out. I didn't leave the house. Like a slug day is me and Ben call it like, no, I'm definitely not showering.

I'm changing pajamas. Definitely new new undies but no. On a day like that I take a shower for my mental health not my physical health. Sometimes like taking a shower contributes to poor mental health for me. Like I just can't fucking I can't do it. No for me it's like a reset. You know like tomorrow I'm gonna give myself the best chance for tomorrow. Yeah we'll try again later.

Again it's mental. It's not physical and it's not something that we need to do. In terms of this story Katy Perry sharing like this big nothing burger with us um thanks do you want to know what else she keeps in her big bag no she always has a snack oh relatable and water for her daughter she always has a little toy or something she can play with okay that's really sweet i mean the bag is certainly big enough. No, it's huge and ugly. I am so glad you shared that with me.

I can't thank you enough. I just don't know how you would go on with your day if you didn't know that. Well, unfortunately. And we are doing our job as like journalists, like propaganda. We are Katy Perry propaganda propersers like yeah prop them up we are being paid by big katie yep to promote everything that she's doing and talk about it with a positive spin that part has been hard for us but still like we support katie perry and we think she's really good for your health amen to that now what else is good for your health queenie and weenie of the week our

weekly segment that jackson i hear jackson i do here every Friday where we, you know, give out two awards, queenie of the week and weenie of the week. Were you behaving like a queenie this week or were you behaving like a weenie this week? Please know it's not that serious. One man's queenie is another man's weenie. And just because you're weenie, it's a seven day title. You could be queenie next week. Yeah. So let's go first with queenie. I already forgot my queenie. Okay. I'll go first. Then maybe it'll remind you. My queenie in a surprise to nobody is Blake Lively. And it really and I swear I can't stress this enough. It actually really doesn't have to do with the drama at all because I'm still not 100%

on what happened. But this week has like been a reminder for me. Maybe it's because we started off a week ago talking about her hair care company and it left a positive taste in my mouth. And I just kind of like forgot that Blake Lively is such a queen. And I feel like this press friend has been really fabulous for, she's been looking gorgeous. She's been like having viral moments, the tailor of it all. I just kind of like, I haven't stand Blake Lively maybe ever. And I think I am now. And I said this earlier, I'd love to see like a

woman on the cover of British Vogue, a movie star, like, you know, late in her career, mom of four. Like, I think she really is an amazing role model for women, for moms. Like, you know, she's proof where it's like, you can't have it all at once. I think she took, you know, a backseat to raise her kids and now they're like a little bit grown and she's like, I just love it. I love it. So really it has nothing to do with Justin Baldoni. I just think she's having a Queenie moment. I agree with that. Also, have you been like feeling weird about using conditioner ever since we did that story? Yes. I'm like, Jackie, two nights ago, I just washed my hair and i used conditioner oh wow also speaking of uh pregnant women and a former queenie lindsey hubbard did you see her stories this week about she's gaining

too much weight in her pregnancy yeah not from like a vanity standpoint from like a health standpoint no and she said she's all she's almost six months pregnant and she's already gained 40 pounds and like i won't give her queenie of the week because she's always my queenie of the week and that's such a real thing to share. No, to share like the number, Queenie behavior. Agreed. So who is your Queenie? My Queenie was, I forgot.

You don't write it down. I always write it down in my notes. No, I literally just had it and I was like, there's no way I'll forget because I literally. Is it Katie Perry? Oh no, my Queenie is a more of a serious note. Not to like shade Blake Lake lively but is to the

u.s intelligence offers officers who foiled the terrorist plot to attack the taylor swift concert okay that's a good one like we could have been having such a different week yeah as civilization no it's so true and i need people to remember that when they're on social media crying about not being able to see taylor swift like nobody loves taylor more than me nobody's cried over taylor swift more than me but like when it comes to this, people being like, oh my God, life's so unfair. Like I can't see Taylor. Like you could be dead. Yeah. That would be bad too. So that was Queenie behavior. Agreed. Now my weenie is not Justin Baldoni. I want to say that. One, because I've speculated a lot here on the shows and I don't know anything for sure. And like weenie is, you know. It's a very concrete

title. But also I gave ween need to someone else because I could not let this moment pass. I feel like something happened that I've been right about this entire time. And we didn't even really get to talk about it so much on the toast because I got so sidetracked with Justin Valdoni gate, but Jackie Goldschneider is my weenie of the week. And I wrote it down like on Monday, I think the episode aired on Sunday and I wrote it down on Monday that she was going to be my weenie. And I haven't even harped on it so much like what she did from the very first episode to the very final episode it was seriously like the biggest loseriest arc of all time and I don't think she should get away with it just because Justin Baldoni's having a big week like you being the person the entire season

who reached out to Louis X had a meeting with her and you letting everyone think it was Margaret. And then you getting called out and the way you like, the way you said like, yeah, like it was okay. It was me. I didn't want you to find out. Like so loser, the walking backwards once she saw Margaret, weenie, weenie, weenie behavior. And I could not let another moment go by without acknowledging it. That's great. Thank you. My weenie is today as of today, Louie. Yeah. Like that thank you my weenie is today as of today louis yeah like that's the most weenie thing i've seen not us being so housewives coded today i know but if i if that hadn't happened today my weeding my weenie would have been boeing like get the astronauts home in a timely manner please that's a good one too but i think the rockets work louis is way more weak

like weenie is it's so important to remember weenie's not that deep competent dangerous right and boeing has like a laundry list of crimes boeing is runs deep and weenie is not that deep weenie is supposed to be fun and fresh and like we said like you can't like i could see a world in which jackie goldstein or maybe in the future would could be a queen i could see a world in which boeing could be no in the future like if they if they shorten travel time no the whistleblower's passing away. Like, no. Okay. So it's Louis. Louis. And that's our show, you guys.

Louis. Hope everybody has enjoyed the toast this week. Hope everybody is having, you know, great plans for the weekend, trips to the Cape, things of that nature, clam bakes.
