Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. We hope
everyone had a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous holiday weekend and hopefully
it was something like Kelly's Mindless News, like the 4th of July. I hope that it
was that for you too. I personally had a fabulous weekend. It was just so much fun
in the sun. I love fun in the sun. It was truly a fun-filled weekend for me. Yeah,
before we even say anything, we want to wish a very
happy birthday to our amazing sister, Olivia.
It is her 29th
birthday, and we just love you so much, and we want to
wish you a happy birthday. We hope you have the best day ever.
We will ensure that you do.
We will make it our mission, Cadet
Kelly, to make sure that
you are having the best day ever. We love you so much.
She's already having the best day ever because she's with
Presh Kala. Presh Kala, yeah. But she's already having the best day ever because she's with Presh Kaila.
Presh Kaila, yeah.
And that's just, it doesn't get better than that.
Every moment I'm not with Presh Kaila
is like a waste of time and energy and space.
I completely agree.
It's just fucking depressing to be without her.
I agree, but we'll be with her today
and that's all we can really ask for.
The aunt life is the life for me.
The auntie sneetcheses.
Oh my God, I almost just choked. I had a fabulous weekend. The anti-sneetches. Oh my God.
I almost just choked.
I had a fabulous weekend.
Yours looked fabulous as well.
Yeah.
Loved watching, you know, Jackie O'Flo make a return to that great outdoors.
Yeah.
No, she's missed the great outdoors.
It was really just a fun weekend.
And it's obviously been a while since I had one of those.
And I feel renewed.
Like Ramona Singer.
I feel renewed.
Exactly.
And I was in the Hamptons with my in-laws
and I was supposed to come back yesterday,
but I decided to come back Sunday
because I felt like I just needed a day to recover.
And yesterday was probably one of the most relaxing days
I've had in my life.
I watched so much TV.
I've slept just like,
I was in and out of sleep the whole day.
I was just exhausted.
I don't even know from what.
But it was just a lovely way to spend a Monday.
I'm glad that we took the show off yesterday.
I feel like I really needed that day off.
Yeah, I appreciated it as well.
But this week I have people working in my apartment.
Because remember on the Patreon behind the scenes, my home tour.
Remember how my shower is like broken?
So I'm finally getting it fixed but it had to wait
until like we were in phase construction phase right um so there's all these people in my
apartment working and I can't get into my bathroom which is why I look disgusting today
I look horrible I didn't have hairspray and my curling iron I didn't know what to do with myself
and so I don't even know what this dress is like just don't look at me today just don't look at me Jackie you look beautiful stunning and smart I look ugly stupid
and ugly well we have a fabulous show for you guys today there was so much news over the weekend it
was literally news killing me not to just talk about all of it so we are going to be recapping
it all people are like clamoring to get into the fast five today like usually it's kind of an open
door policy yeah something semi-interesting and we'll talk about you.
But today we are making hard cuts because we really have the Fast Five stories.
We have the Fast Five and then we are going to recap our toast movie of the week,
which was Selma.
And then we're also going to assign our new one.
And then I watched a ton of stuff over the weekend I want to talk about.
We both watched the David Foster documentary.
I caught up on Real Housewives of New York and their Zoom confessionals.
Oh, I haven't watched that yet.
I've been trying to finish season four of Real Housewives of Potomac
But I also didn't watch that much TV this weekend
Because I was enjoying the great outdoors
And it was fabulous and I encourage you all to try that
You know it's a beautiful thing to step outside and just like enjoy
Yeah to step outside
Breathe it in
Before we dive in I just wanted to give a quick note
To everyone who watched my special this weekend It really stayed on the home page of iTunes Breathe it in. which was just fabulous. And I really, really hope everyone liked it. And I'm so glad that everyone watched it, rent it, bought it.
The comedy album is now out.
So if you listen to this podcast
and you just like listening to stuff
as opposed to watching,
you can now listen to the album,
which is available to stream on Spotify
or on iTunes, Amazon Music, all the places.
So great for a podcaster.
Totally.
I have something to say
because I watched your special.
Oh my God, you really just scared me.
I watched your special this weekend
with the group that I was with.
And Claudia.
A hilarious group.
It was the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
Really?
And like, I wasn't expecting like to be wowed
because I've seen the show so many times.
I was there when you filmed the special.
I was truly rolling on the floor.
It was just so funny.
Like new things were making me laugh.
The old things are always making me laugh. Like we were, just laughing so hard it was so fucking enjoyable oh and I just really I was
shocked by the fact that I was so moved by it considering like I know it backwards and forwards
you're desensitized but it was just so funny like you guys if you haven't watched yet or even if
you've been to a show like that's not a reason not to watch it because it's also when you're
sitting in the audience you don't get all of your facial expressions yes and so with the camera close up
on you like it really does a great service to the whole physical comedy yeah and it was just
sensational when we turned it on I was like so tired I was like I'm gonna fall asleep and it was
just it was riveting wow I love that a rave review from a really harsh critic no
I'm not harsh and I like everything you do is great but I was just like enamored by it it was
so fucking good thank you yeah so you guys it's E.T.'s time you have to watch it E.T.'s time um
but E.T.'s also time for something else yeah I think it is time for the fast-paced stories that
you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast I said that was
like a little different inflection no you said that with some uncertainty are you
feeling okay I don't know I was just like trying to sometimes I improv with it like you yeah you
yeah hi um and I was just sort of stuck between should I go there should I not yeah so instead I
just stumbled over every word it was beautiful nonetheless um before we dive in I have to tell
you like I saw the funniest thing in the street yesterday.
It wasn't funny.
It was actually sad.
But like, you know, when you can't stop watching like a mess.
So this kid, it was raining and the kid was skateboarding, which like, what are you doing
skateboarding in the rain?
And I already, of course, he just completely fell on his ass and like everyone on the block
stopped to watch him, which was just like mortifying for him.
And he just like was so defeated that he just like let his skateboard
roll down the sidewalk but it eventually veered off the sidewalk and into the street and a bus
came and it was crazy like within an inch of the skateboard's life like the bus made it and then
the bus I mean then the skateboard went underneath some like Toyota Camry and the person didn't
realize so the kid goes running and he's like waiting and it looks like he's gonna get the
skateboard you know it was just so like is he gonna get it is he not gonna get it
and literally this Toyota Camry like just starts driving an inch and it runs over the skateboard
but half the skateboard so now the kid is trying to get the skateboard from underneath the wheel
of the Toyota Camry it was so dramatic I was literally standing in the corner for 20 minutes
watching this kid suffer like I obviously should have offered to help but like when I'm feeling
embarrassed like if I fall somewhere,
I want nobody to look at me.
I just want everyone to pretend
like they haven't seen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's the nicest thing you could do.
It was just such an,
like it was a series of unfortunate events.
That's really sad.
Yeah.
And I'm not used to seeing things on the street
because in the last four months,
all I've seen is someone peeing on a payphone booth.
I saw that the other day.
It was so crazy.
I've actually seen now twice in one week public urination.
Because New York is the greatest city on earth, man.
Ooh.
Woohoo.
Okay, let's get into the news because there's so much to discuss.
Yes.
I want to start the past five on a high because Morgan Stewart is engaged to Jordan McGraw,
son of Dr. Phil McGraw.
Yes, lots of people don't know that he is a doctor himself.
And he is the son of the doctor, Dr. Phil Chemin.
And I just have so many happy thoughts about this.
I mean, my first thought is like,
Brendan just must be vomiting.
Because for those who don't know,
Jordan and Morgan actually dated
before she was married to Brendan.
So he was like the guy Morgan told Brendan
not to worry about.
For sure.
And now they're divorced and like she's engaged to him.
And now he's very much worried.
And I'm sure he's just like thinking like, oh my God, my whole marriage was a lie.
For sure.
My whole marriage was like the setup for this happily ever after.
To me, like Jordan McGraw has like the most impeccable taste in women.
You know what I mean?
Because like if you can land Morgan Stewart, to me, she's one of the most eligible bachelorettes in the world not even just Hollywood like in the world first of all she's
so stunning she's so smart she's so successful on her own she's this fabulous personality she's so
stylish like I can't name one bad thing about her definition of everything of the sort when you look
it up in the dictionary yes everything of the sort she's also the definition of it girl like
that is her right now oh Oh for sure. And I
just love there's so many things that I love about this. Okay this is what I love about it first and
foremost and I love how much it like shocked and stunned me and how much it stuck with me for a few
days. I was like oh my god I woke up in the morning I'm like Morgan Stewart's engaged. No by the way
literally same and I actually spoke to Morgan and she said she was like completely blindsided. She
had absolutely no idea which is just even more beautiful like that that that's what an it girl
deserves like just to be blindsided 100%
and let's just go back to March when we started quarantine and that's when they came out with
their relationship because they were quarantined together doing Instagram live from home and so
like over the course of quarantine yes they started dating before but it couldn't have been that long
they like were living together got engaged and are gonna live happily ever after now like they
went from zero to 100 in quarantine.
And that's called making the most of the situation.
Right.
We said before quarantine, there's only two ways that this could go.
There's the Kacey Musgraves route and there's the Morgan Stewart route.
And I'm just so happy for Morgan Stewart.
There's so many elements of this that bring me joy.
The first is like, I'm just happy for Morgan Stewart becoming a member of this rich Hollywood family.
Like Dr. Phil Money is money.
Like he has been on the air for years and years and years.
He has radio.
He has a podcast now.
He's just so successful.
And I love her becoming a part of like an institution in Hollywood.
To me, that makes me so happy.
The other element that I love about this is that Jordan McGraw is like weirdly um like a part of the Jonas family
and this would make Morgan Stewart like a J cousin not a J sister she's a J cousin for sure
right yeah because I saw like Priyanka commented on her picture yeah oh my god the elegance but
that's also what I love about Morgan Stewart she's like a relatable queen who like answered
my texts when I was like are you engaged but then also Priyanka Chopra is commenting on her
Instagram like we have no choice
but to respect a queen who...
I think she commented
on Jordan's Instagram.
Doesn't matter.
Same thing.
We have no choice
but to respect a queen
who is everything of the sort.
I just, I'm like,
weirdly obsessed with her.
No, and I also really like
the fact that he's a musician.
Mm-hmm.
And his songs are really good.
Yes, fabulous.
And that just must be
like really attractive for her.
Yep.
And I'm just,
I'm so here
for all of it oh also as i was researching this morning this is crazy a little follow-up news that
i was wondering about because i saw that she was moving because she was dismantling her amazing
closet um and i was like wondering where she was moving to and then she got engaged i was assuming
she was moving in with her mans um and apparently uh dr. Phil McGraw bought his son a $10 million home
after he got engaged to Morgan Stewart.
Jordan McGraw has a lot to celebrate this July.
In addition to becoming engaged to E! News' very own Morgan Stewart,
the son of Dr. Phil will be moving into a spanking new $10 million home.
According to Variety, the Beverly Hills mansion was gifted to Jordan
by his parents, Robin McGraw and Dr. Phil.
His new 6,500-square- foot estate is situated on the hillside of
one of beverly hills most exclusive neighborhoods it comes complete with all the amenities one could
need and more including a pool wine room and outdoor kitchen moreover he will have plenty
of space to entertain or host guests with four beds and four and a half baths perfect one for
each jonas brother wait i like this house is like making my life i don't know why you see these pictures well
now it begs the question this isn't the house that went viral of dr phil remember when people
he put one of his house up houses up for sale and the interior was really questionable um and it
totally went viral oh my god this house you guys we'll post pictures on our instagram marble
fireplace wine cellar sickening ocean farm chemin oh my god i i'm over the moon like this is just
this is the life i envisioned for morgan stewart like i know morgan stewart like probably has a
lot of expectations for herself for career and personal life but i have some too and this is
just like totally exceeding those expectations i'm like so happy for her that she's gonna live
in this 10 million dollar house and just be the fabulous queen that she is 100 i just i I don't know I feel like an investor in Morgan Stewart's life like I obviously saw her
on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and obviously she was my favorite she was funniest and then she just
like morphed to this like reality show into like a full-fledged career now she's just out here
killing it living in a 10 million dollar house and she's so inspiring yeah she's inspiring I love her
so much I'm so happy and i love how happy
collectively like the world was for this everyone was we were rooting for you we were all rooting
for you like everyone was rooting for you i've never yelled at a girl like this and it was just
beautiful yeah really beautiful um unfortunately i do have to switch gears to a little splitsville
news oh my god because casey musgraves and rustin kelly have split, they have reached the end of their rainbow.
The country singer and her singer-songwriter husband
have called it quits after over two years of marriage.
Their reps confirmed to People on Friday,
quote,
these kinds of announcements are always met with scrutiny and speculation,
and we want to stop that before it even starts,
their joint statement read.
We believe that we were put into each other's lives for a divine reason
and have both changed each other infinitely for the better.
The love we have for each other goes far beyond the relationship
we've shared as husband and wife it's a soul connection that can never be erased okay they
definitely wrote this statement yeah i don't know about publicists using the word soul connection
no but like they're speaking so highly of each other i just don't understand how this
equates to divorce i know and you know what it's like why am i so shocked but also not shocked
people have questioned her marriage forever and it used to just be this annoying thing where it's like leave
her alone she likes to keep her marriage private but at the end of the day the people questioning
it were um kind of right because here we are I'm just I'm shocked because when they did decide to
get married it just seemed so real and it was like otp and I kind of loved that they kept it private
and everyone thought they weren't together but they always were like they were spotted at target you
know like there was something about the mystery that really made me feel like their love was real
but then at the same time you know she's had this amazing year and he was not present for any of it
like he wasn't at the grammys he wasn't maybe he wasn't he was when she was like yeah and she he
took her purse yeah it was just i don't know it's I hate to say it, but it's like she kind of just outgrew him.
Well, that seems like the surface reason, you know, what we see of their relationship
shows us that she obviously just like shot to stardom in the last two years.
And mega stardom.
She's always been a star.
Born a star.
Well, to me, she's always been a star.
But now like the world, bandwagon fans are recognizing it.
For sure.
But like now she's like mega, she's an institution.
Everything.
Whereas like she was a star before yeah um and so the way we see it it's like obviously these two things don't add up but you never know what goes on and this statement is one of the more
confusing ones it's like they knew that we were getting bored by these um template divorce
statements yeah but it's so they threw a wrench into it oh also it's like they wanted this
statement to just like not confuse anyone in the sense that like they never wanted it to seem like
someone cheated because that's always what people think especially when like such a short marriage
like why why now um so i don't think anyone cheated and i think that's what the statement was
trying to convey convey yeah yeah or avoid it also adds we've made this painful decision together a
healthy decision
that comes after a very long period of trying the best we can it simply just didn't work though we
are parting ways in marriage we will make we will remain true friends for the rest of our lives I
feel like true friends for the rest of the lives that's that's a marriage at least you could hope
for no that's literally a marriage I mean here's where I feel I am you know are no one can even
argue Casey Musgraves number one fan so I feel very sad am, you know, no one can even argue, Kacey Musgraves' number one fan. So
I feel very sad that this is obviously like a painful thing. You know, divorce is so hard.
They say it's like a death, you know, remember Shannon and David Bedore burying Shannon. It's
painful, of course. But at the same time, like, I just know that this album is going to be
heartbreaking. And I feel like that's what we need from Kacey Musgraves. Like,
she's going to win another Grammy. Whatever art comes out of quarantine divorce she says she likes to experiment with
LSD when she does creative writing sessions like I just think all of these elements are going to
birth the greatest album of all time I really feel that way I said it here right now July 7th 2020
we'll see what happens in a year if I was right I probably am okay I know everyone like loves to say
that when there's like someone goes through it but not not everyone no like Adele Adele yes but nobody says it like Bebe Rexha you know like
certain people convey certain emotions and Adele and Kacey Musgraves are Adele Kacey Musgraves
Kelly Clarkson um but I just want to say like Golden Hour was written uh when she was happily
married and or at the beginning of her marriage happy and sad at the same time maybe she wasn't
okay maybe that's why it was so brilliant it was written at a high and it's one of the greatest
albums of all time you know but by the way i'm not saying only heartbreak is good for creative
outlets highs and lows are good that's why golden hour was so fabulous she had just gotten married
of course i'm sad she's going through a low time right now but i'm just excited for the fruits of
the low yeah okay the fruits of 2019's labor. Yes thank you Jackie quoting my comedy special
available on iTunes. I just wanted to say I feel as though like right now my heart goes out to
Kacey Musgraves but I feel like when a celebrity especially really private celebrities like these
two make a statement like this it comes really after the decision has been made and the hurt has
transpired so I feel like she's probably doing okay right now. Now let's play our favorite game
of who do we set her up with because Stan Twitter is convinced that like this is a result of a Toddred love affair
with Harry Styles because you know they've toured together and then she brought him out
at her Nashville show.
They have like a long history and they have a deep respect musically for one another.
I don't know if I see it as a love relationship but I'm definitely not opposed to it.
I have a man for her who and I think you're
gonna love it I just need him to really be the reformed man that he says that he is John Mayer
oh my god that is sickening sickening except I feel like Casey Musgraves is too much of like a
self-respected feminist to really um be with someone who has proved more often than not that
he's just not it for women. You know, he's not like
he's not like a voice for women, you know?
Yeah, well. But by the way,
I love that so much. And then like I could
just hear the harmonies of the
collabs. The harmonies. But she does like a more
low-key guy. I don't think she'll date someone famous.
She likes a musician, clearly,
who's sort of
maybe a songwriter.
Maybe a producer.
She's had a very strange love life now that I think about it.
The bandmate.
Yeah, she...
That's why this was so crazy.
Because it happened so fast.
She was dating her bandmate forever.
And then one day they broke up.
The next day she's dating.
He took his Nissan Sentra, according to her song,
and got the fuck out.
Space cowboy.
And then she's married five seconds later.
And so when that happens, you assume that it's the one true pair.
Yeah.
And it was if she hadn't gotten so famous.
I'm convinced fame really ruins a lot of things.
And the level that she shot to over the last year and a half is just so astronomical that I don't think really any marriage that started
before it could ever survive especially when the other person is a musician not to say he was
jealous but competition is an inherent part of being successful and I just can't imagine that
it didn't cause some sort of conversation like she went to the Kardashian Halloween party by
herself like yeah there's just there's there was so much to unpack.
And all I want to do is spend the next 10 years thinking about who she's going to date,
because now that you brought up John Mayer, like I just can't think of anything else.
But at the same time, you're right. She does like someone way more low key.
And I feel like she might be one of those people. I feel like a lot of people find really solid Hollywood marriages when they, you know, end up with like their agent or like someone in the biz,
but not like in the spotlight.
Like Reese Witherspoon has been married now
for like 20 years to her agent.
So I feel like there's something there.
For sure.
We'll keep you posted.
This is devastating.
But again, the album is, it is coming.
Yeah.
You know what else is coming?
Yeah.

Very sad news. Nick Cordero, Broadway star of Waitress and a Bronx Tale, has died at the age of
41. Nick Cordero, the Broadway actor who appeared in popular musicals such as Waitress and a Bronx
Tale and inspired the world with his months-long struggle against the coronavirus, has died,
his wife Amanda Klutz said on Sunday.
Oh my God.
He was 41.
She wrote on Instagram, quote, God has another angel in heaven now.
My darling husband passed away this morning.
He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.
Oh my God.
I mean, a lot of people have been following this story for so long.
And I think what's been so amazing about this story
is like his wife's ability to never give up hope
when it's like she's going through the toughest times in her life.
She has a brand new baby.
Her husband's been in the hospital for months fighting coronavirus.
And it's just, it's literally the saddest thing ever.
And I can't believe that like after all of this,
that he lost the battle. And I'm just so sad for her.
But like, I still am in awe of like her,
her resilience and her spirit.
Like she's still on Instagram dancing for him. And it's like, it's just,
it's really like a beautiful way to deal with grief.
I'm just like so sad for her and her baby.
And I just can't believe like after all of this,
like this is how the story ended, you know?
It's really sad. It's really, really sad. sad and I just I didn't really know much about her
before but like I just like love her now and I want to protect her and there are so many people
who feel that way like I saw um he's a very well respected person in the Broadway community and so
many huge Broadway people were tweeting about it and there's like a a fund that's been set up for
them I think it's almost a million dollars and obviously all that's amazing but it's just it doesn't bring back her husband and the father
of her baby and I just I'm so sad yeah there's been a lot of outreach and statements from
celebrities who have worked with him he clearly was such a light um that's how really everyone
described him and this is incredibly tragic it's just it's terrible and you know he's 41 years old that's just not what you expect to
hear um and it's just a reminder that life is so short and the coronavirus is a little bitch
and everyone should wear a mask yeah definitely so i'm like really just it's weird to feel so
impacted by a story of people you don't know but that's what she did during this time when she was
just trying to rally people to like pray for him and dance for him. And now so many
people are invested.
Everyone became a part of their family. Yeah.
Well it's very sad. We're thinking of her and her baby.
Yeah.
Next story. A little mindless celeb. New relationship news.
Fabulous.
Chris Evans and Lily James. Spark dating rumors with late-night London pics.
Captain America.
Yeah. Chris Evans. Knives Out. Yes picks. Captain America. Yeah.
Chris Evans.
Knives Out.
Yes.
Knives Out.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll start using that reference.
Knives Out.
Also, I'm sure you saw my Instagram story last night.
I was watching The Wall, which is literally the best fucking game show.
It's on NBC.
I saw.
I saw your thing.
This girl had to answer a trivia and it was like, which one of these Chris's has been in Marvel?
Blah, blah, blah.
And it was like Chris Evans, Chris Pine, Chris Pratt,
and then Chris Hemsworth, which I knew it wasn't Chris Hemsworth.
That's like the one that I know, but it was just so funny.
Actually, he's Guardians of the Galaxy.
No, it's not Chris Pratt.
It was Chris Evans, I think.
But whoever, you know, is writing trivia for the wall on NBC obviously listens to the jokes, and that's the moral of the story.
Okay.
But Chris Evans and Lily James may be the newest extremely good-looking couple
in hollywood as the uk's daily mail has photos of the pair sharing a taxi late saturday in london
yes i saw like there was literally 6 a.m vibes which i love love to see it the pair spent the
bulk of the evening at the ritzy after hours marks club in mayfair with james in a red dress for the
occasion and evans opting for an all-black suit. Lily James is like one of the most random beautiful women you know what I mean like she's not really like super famous she was shot to
stardom in the Cinderella movie that really just didn't shoot her anywhere besides down. I know I
haven't recorded I've been meaning to catch it. And she's just like such a strange kind of
phenomenon to me because like she was really positioned to become like this huge star and it just really never happened for her I don't know she's she's a moderate star she's
Mamma Mia oh that's true she was in the worst movie of all time called Yesterday oh was she
the Beatles one she obviously doesn't have a good radar for which projects to take because she's in
things I've heard of but never seen I guess this also means that she can sing because these are kind of musical movies. Oh that's true. She just gives me a vibe like she
should have been in Game of Thrones. For sure. I'm sure she's in. You know what let's look at her
IMDB. But also just to talk about these two I think this is a fabulous couple. I love when
beautiful beautiful people just like get together. When they sync up and share calendars. And they
do the work for us. Like I didn't have to match these two together. Like they just they work
perfectly together. Do we think they're gonna be together forever and get married
and have a million children no but do I love this one night stand yes yes oh she was in pride and
prejudice and zombies wait pride and prejudice comma zombies or pride and like one movie one
one movie pride and prejudice and zombies is one movie oh she's in Downton Abbey that that oh that
that's what launched her but see that's what I'm saying I feel like there was a few years where it was like the Lily James time like she was gonna be it
after Downton Abbey and then she got Cinderella and it was like supposed to be this foundational
thing for her and I just feel like she never really delivered in that kind of success you
know I need to watch that movie because I feel like I would love it yeah but I don't know why
I've never seen it well so funny when I. When I read this story, for some reason,
it registered for me as Lily Collins.
Okay.
Which is just so ironic because wasn't she in the other Cinderella?
She was in the other Snow White.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That whole thing.
Mirror, mirror.
And then there was Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart.
Yeah.
Chris Hemsworth.
That was a weird time in Disney when they were just making two movies at a time.
Yeah. No, it's like this story has been around since like the dawn of time. Yeah. Chris Hemsworth. That was a weird time in Disney when they were just making two movies at a time. Yeah. No, it's like this story has been around since like the dawn of time. Yeah.
You couldn't have made them at a different year. No, you couldn't have. They couldn't have.
Okay. Fifth and final story. Your daily Glazane Maxwell update. Jelaine. Jelaine. Jelaine.
Jelaine Maxwell has copies of Jeffrey Epstein's sex tape. Ex-friend says. Okay. Jelaine jelaine jelaine maxwell has copies of jeffrey epstein's sex tape
ex-friend says okay jelaine has been all over the news she was arrested now the new york post is
saying she is going to sing for her supper and just give all the details she wants to know that
the police wants to know just so she can get a lesser sentence and as many people probably know
if you watch the je Epstein documentary probably the person who has the most information on this entire ring more so than Jeffrey Epstein I would
say is Ghislaine because she was the madame she was the procurator of young women she was the
secretary of the institution she kept all the files they say that she has written record of every you know powerful person who did x y and
z and she really is the most dangerous like to me there's so much injustice in Jeffrey Epstein
not having his day in court but to me the one who could really you know break down the whole thing
more is Ghislaine yes I agree she's our last hope of really getting justice for these girls
and for this case. And I don't have a lot of hope as her being our last resort because the craziest
thing happened. And I'm not sure if some people saw it because it was taken down. Please share
this with the class. I find this quite interesting. The BBC released an article and immediately
deleted it. And it was an article scheduled for July 11th, 2020.
And this was on July, I think, 5th.
So obviously it's a week early.
And the headline says,
Ghislaine Maxwell moved to intensive care
as coronavirus symptoms worsen.
So it has yet to be even reported
that she has coronavirus.
So this makes me question you
know everything everything because they're obviously planning a new cycle that reports
on her eventually dying of coronavirus right she's in intensive care she has coronavirus
um this does not bode well for the success of this story no no it doesn't it's they deleted
it immediately and i don't think they even released
a statement but it's just sometimes things happen where articles get published early and it really
releases a window into like how corrupt everything is like do you remember when Sean and Camilla
Sean and Camilla there was like this just not just Jared one of these places released an article like
Sean and Camilla scene cuddling up backstage at the VMAs no it was like Sean and Camilla scene cuddling up backstage at the VMAs. No, it was like Sean and Camilla do a steamy onstage performance of Senorita.
It was before the award show even aired.
Yes, but here's the thing.
There's two things happening.
One, it was like that publication knew that Sean and Camilla were singing Senorita.
It's going to be steamy because they're all about PDA.
So they wrote the article.
In anticipation.
In anticipation so they didn't have to do the legwork on the day
because they have a lot of articles to write during an award show that is a thing that publications do i'm
sure they would have changed it if the article didn't happen to come out um and it wasn't and
no and it wasn't correct like say they weren't steamy or you know she like shot out of a cannon
right they were doing prep yeah they were doing prep this feels different this feel and like and
people like also some publications have obituaries
written for people who haven't died yet yes you know but they're by the way those are the craziest
um when like news channels accidentally run the obituary of like they have obituaries for just
old people they have it ready so that if the person dies unexpectedly like they have the news
on it it's kind of morbid but it's just a part of the news but sometimes like those packages take a
while to produce if it's a montage of someone's life, you know?
So that's just part of their job, whatever.
This feels like a story.
This isn't the next logical step in this story.
Yeah.
That she goes to the ICU.
Of course, no.
And the BBC News, like the UK writing it up,
it's just, it's all too weird.
She is British Ghislaine.
Her father was like a media mogul,
a disgraced media mogul,
but a media mogul nonetheless.
A disgraced king?
Yes, literally a disgraced king.
And he obviously had a very, you know,
deep-rooted connections that I'm sure she inherited.
And it's just, it's all too weird
and it's all adding up.
Oh, and now what's going around
is this crazy conspiracy theory about Ghislaine
that in the last photo ever taken of JonBenet Ramsey, there is a woman in the background.
Admittedly, only half of her face is in there, but she looks a lot like Jelani Maxwell.
And it is eerily creepy that this young girl goes missing and Ghislaine Maxwell is in the background.
I don't know if it's true.
There's no real confirmation fact checker if that is in fact her in the background of the photo.
But it just, of course, gives you something to think about.
Nah, I mean, it's a funny TikTok, but it doesn't make any sense at all.
I don't know.
I'm going to choose not to believe it, but it was funny for TikTok.
I think it's 100% possible and I'm not to choose not to believe it, but it was funny for TikTok. I think it's 100% possible, and I'm not convinced.
Okay.
But also, in regards to the BBC, like, yes, she's connected, whatever.
But, like, I thought that we're in a point right now where, like,
no one is striving to protect Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine.
That's the public's message.
But, again, that's why this story is so crazy it's because and that's what i didn't like
about the documentary is like they didn't even scratch the surface at how deep this goes from
like politicians world leaders celebrities billionaires everyone who was involved and
they can make anyone disappear they can make the most powerful people in the world can do whatever
they want so it's like this is happening all over again. I'm telling you, like we are in, we are going to witness something happen to Jelani. That's crazy. It's insane. And
it's just how dumb do they think we are? And it's like, they don't even care. It's like the most
powerful people in the world know that we know what they know, but they just don't want it coming
out. I don't know. I, I hear you, but like, I'm just more hopeful that the system won't fail us won't fail us so I'm gonna choose
to believe in the system yeah and that justice will be served she could technically like get
out on bail until her trial but she's a huge flight risk she has unlimited resources if she
got out of the country she would never come back she might not be able to get uh right no it's just um it's crazy it's crazy um
so anyways the story was that she has the tapes and the tea and she's gonna and everything
she said they say she's gonna give it up i have one more question about this um saga that
is really bothering me and that is why have we not seen a mugshot of her Jelani I don't know
it's not weird like you get arrested you get a mugshot becomes public record like why is she
different I don't know makes you think I haven't seen it I went searching for it makes you think
yeah well we'll keep you updated all week on what's going on in the Jelani Maxwell story um
it's just it's honestly so crazy. It's very crazy.
I'm, but I do look forward
to justice being served.
I am very much looking forward
to justice being served.

TV recap.
Our TV movie that
we assigned last week was Selma as you guys know we are trying to do a better job of just opening
our horizons and learning more about um experiences different than ours and our history and I thought
Selma was a great choice um to be honest I was disappointed in a few ways one was just that um
why wasn't the song glory played sooner than the credits which is like which is a thing now it's like if a if a popular artist makes a song for a movie they just play it
in the credits and that's not enough no it's not meant for the actual movie it's meant for like the
promotion of the movie in some way but you know what the song that they played at the end when
they put um the real life footage over the end of the march um i absolutely love that song i need to look it up like that part
was so powerful i loved that they put the historical footage in there and kind of you
couldn't tell which was yeah the guy who played martin luther king looked so much like him yeah
he did an amazing job amazing job i liked how the movie was like obviously about the movement
himself but you also got like a little personal with MLK and his marriage. Like there was just so much going on there.
The other thing I didn't like about the movie
was Cuba getting Junior's presence.
Obviously I'm very triggered by that,
but he was a small part in a good movie.
I think that the story is so unbelievable
and it's not really taught in depth
in history classes in America
because obviously I knew about the Selma March, but I didn't know that all that went into leading up to it.
I didn't know that they did it multiple times.
And that was like post the civil rights bill.
They had technically had the right to vote, but no one was letting them vote.
Right. So it really was interesting.
So I think it was actually a great piece of history to focus on.
I'm sure there's like so many movies they could write about this time and Martin Luther King and all of his work and I really enjoyed this movie like from a
historical perspective it was also so well done like in the beginning when those girls were
walking down the steps of the church like talking about um the yeah yeah um and then
the church blew up I was in in shock. No, no.
First of all, the sound blew out.
Literally, me and Theo both jumped.
It was a very powerful way to start the movie.
And that's what this whole movement was for.
Just four innocent, beautiful children getting attacked for no fucking reason.
That was, I think, a great way to start the movie.
I totally agree.
I liked two things about the movie.
Well, I liked a bunch of things,
but two things that stood out to me was,
obviously, as a citizen of America,
it is your right to vote,
and everyone should have that right,
and it shouldn't be so hard,
and it shouldn't be so expensive.
But what I really liked that I didn't even fully understand
was they discussed how, obviously,
having a vote is important,
but also why it's important is because
you cannot be a member of a jury if you are not registered to vote so it's like all these people
whether it's you know crazy klansmen or racist cops just shooting black people in cold blood
and then getting off because the jury's all white people so it's like it's it's more than just
casting a vote it's becoming a part of the system and helping.
And even just like voting in your local elections,
voting for that sheriff who got voted out the next year
the second that they gave black people in Alabama
the right to vote, who got voted out.
Right.
It really stresses the importance of voting.
On all levels.
On all levels.
Yeah, I agree.
Another thing that I loved was,
and he wasn't really such a main character
and he didn't get a little blurb at the end,
but Portia Williams' grandfather was in the movie.
Well, not him, his character.
I meant to look up who everyone was
because also I was wondering like
if Giselle's dad was in there.
Right, no, I'm sure that he was,
but Hosea Williams was the leader of,
when they did the first march on Selma
and Martin Luther King couldn't go.
Yeah. And those two guys led it. There was like the student guy and then the older kind of chubbier guy. the leader of when they did the first march on Selma and Martin Luther King couldn't go yeah
and those two guys led it there was like the student guy and then the older kind of chubbier
guy that is Hosea Williams that is Portia Williams's grandfather oh wow is that amazing I
know and by the way the guy who played him looked just like him when I was looking up old photos I'm
like is that the is that from the movie or from real Selma they looked so much alike it was crazy
wow that is so interesting I know very cool I thought it was a great movie um i really really liked it yeah and i think that um
and i liked the way that it was done um like the there were just like a lot of powerful moments
similar to the one in the church where just like i just had to like stop and pause um and so i
thought that ava duvarney did a fabulous fabulous job she's a fabulous filmmaker
one more thing i wanted to say about the movie and about history which obviously i'm not a history
buff so i didn't know but i just think it goes without saying thank you it goes without saying
like lbj sucks like of course he did the right thing there were so many fucking shitty people
lbj was just the worst like fuck him and it's like he won they said he was like had one of the
biggest landslides in
presidential history i'm like this fucking guy's a fucking coward and yes he did the right thing at
the end but it was because he had no other choice like yeah he was just like a little piece of shit
and he knew it was the right thing to do and that's what what i took away from the movie was
like politics is such bullshit because it's really never about doing the right thing it's always
someone's personal stake in interest of a lobby or whatever. It's like their supporters or your donators.
Like it just it was really disappointing to see like so many people know that they could
have the power to do the right thing and not do it because of politics.
Like politics is just bullshit.
LBJ sucks.
Yeah.
I mean, also George Wallace, the governor.
Oh, the biggest dick alive.
Oh, and then he ran for president four times and couldn't win.
Like literally rotten hell.
Literally.
I hate that guy
100% also this movie had a message
That's been very similar to a lot of the other stuff
That we were watching which is that the FBI
Is the fucking vote
And also like the way they were logging all of their
Activity was just so blatantly racist
Like they're just the way they spoke I was like
Damn yeah and that FBI director
Who's J. Edgar Hoover who's like
It's all named after him And and it's like Sade it's very Sade no it's just like history watching and going back in our
history just shows you like everything's fucked up and everyone's fucked up and it was a great
movie it was a great movie and it just really highlighted for me like how politics is just
bullshit yeah like why is it so hard to get
something done when it's the right thing to do like it shouldn't have taken thousands of people
literally getting beaten and marching 50 miles and having to do it three times just to get
it shouldn't have been that hard yeah so and you know what what I've really learned from all of
these movies is how creepy it is to me how a lot of these movies are either made a while ago or about things that happened a while ago and it really feels like the stories
could have been told today like it doesn't feel like that much has changed yeah you know yeah so
I liked it um I hope everyone else liked it and we have a great I really really liked it we have
a great movie for our next um selection I thought it would be good to maybe just lighten things up a little bit and go back to a movie that honestly really impacted me as a
child. It's called The Color of Friendship. It is a Disney Channel original movie. I believe it is
on Disney Plus for free. And honestly, if you have kids and you are a toaster, I would really
recommend you watch it with your kids. It's just a fabulous movie about the color of friendship.
It's just, it's self-explanatory, honestly. But I remember watching it as a kid and just like loving it so much. And I think it'll be great, like a nostalgic
moment for us and a really good opportunity if you have kids to, or like younger siblings,
to have them watch it. It's a really good movie. I'm excited. Yeah. It'll be great. Okay. I want
to talk also in our TV recap about the David Foster documentary. Yes. I watched it last night
at your request. Very glad I did. I probably would have watched it anyway,
but I sped up the process so that we could discuss it today.
I took a few things away from it.
The first thing I took away was,
I really didn't realize how old David Foster was
because when he's talking about like working with Jennifer Holliday,
I'm like, oh my God, this man is old.
And he's been successful for so long, you know?
And of course, you know about the Josh Groban the Celine Dion
but talk about Josh me too what you don't really know is like the Chicago or you know the Jennifer
Holiday yeah like it's just first of all I love I think that the documentary did an amazing job
of like being like let's put some respect on this man's name like he is it yeah and you know what
it's like I don't the company that made the documentary did a fabulous job I have to believe
that someone in there ideating was a toaster,
because this is what we've been striving for for years now,
which is justice for David Foster.
We've been saying it since day one.
Dave.
Since day one, because of the way, like,
and they talk about it a little bit when he talks about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
when it's like, oh, you're the guy who was on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
He's like, no, I'm the guy who's won 16 fucking Grammys.
Yes.
Also, somebody sent me a DM.
They're like, I'm listening to old episodes of The Toast, like from a year ago.
And you guys literally said David Foster needs a documentary.
Isn't that crazy?
No, I'm telling you.
It was just like from our mouth to the documentary in his ears.
So that was the first part that I loved.
I also loved how much footage they had of just like old Celine moments and all these fabulous artists.
And it was just like really like a beautiful artistically done documentary which I loved
agreed I love the fact that they put up the foster family chart which has become iconic like pop
culture canon yep and that is something that you must um understand must understand he also forgot
to name Anwar but they put him in yes I saw that too oh my god um and okay there's so much that i want to talk about in regards to that moment um to me
it is so clear like that the fosters just like hate yolanda and i think it probably has to do
with the fact that maybe she didn't say it in so many words but she let everyone think that david
left her because she had munch oh my god i'm so I'm so sorry. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. That was a total
fuck up. I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to say that. That was incredibly rude. I'm,
it's from, I was just watching that episode of Real Housewives. I'm so sorry. Because she had
Lyme's disease, and they, like, he, she really let the world, like, turn him into a villain
because of that, and I'm sure that, that they're not happy about that I'm also sure
that some of the girls are a little resentful that Yolanda went on that show and made a star
out of her daughters in five minutes while Sarah and Aaron have been working in Hollywood for years
they had barely famous like they've been working on in in industry for so long and like Yolanda
just shows up with her two kids and like overnight it's a success. Yeah I went to bed last night wondering if Gigi and Bella would be who they are if not for The
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and up until this point I always said they would have been
like I didn't even think about how it might have helped them in any way because it was just sort of
like it just seemed like good timing but now I'm unsure. No I've always thought that The Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills was an integral part in the making of two major mega supermodels and they probably would have become
successful regardless just because they're beautiful and from a very rich well-connected
family there are plenty of like rich kid models Delilah and Amelia yeah there's a ton of people
like that yeah but also they have Real Housewives of Beverly Hills but I guess they also had it
because there are Delilah and Amelia and they're notg and bella right so it's a mixture of things
yes but it definitely played a part um so to me what i really took away from the documentary is
just like this kind of hatred for yolanda even in the way they just spoke about her very um
calmly but very rudely like when the younger sister jordan foster was like and you know my
dad was okay with her being on the housewives because, you know, he wanted her to have a job, which was just like, holy shit.
Yeah.
Like, they just, there's obvious, like, hatred there.
Oh, for sure.
For sure.
But I think that they were as respectful as they could be.
You know, they didn't harp on it.
They didn't talk about her out of context.
But I forgot about The Princess of Malibu.
I know.
And I had obviously never seen it.
forgot about the princes of Malibu I know and I had obviously never seen it and like the fact that David is such an integral part like yelling at everyone the entire time yeah um was really funny
and I actually would have thought that that would affect his career in a negative way because it
seems like it was kind of a shit show right and so what I took away from the documentary was like
David is actually very self-aware and he knew like even just kind of quote-unquote slumming it in
reality tv like was not going to affect his
career like would stevie wonder still want to work with me if i was on the real housewives of
beverly hills but you know what his talent speaks for itself and i feel like at the end of the day
like nobody cared about anything when it came to david foster other than the fact that he made
great music for great people and won a lot of awards and that's really all that matters at the
end of the day but his self-awareness was was really present throughout the whole documentary
especially when it came to talking about his multiple marriages
and his relationship with his kids,
which seemed like there was a lot of resentment
and that maybe hasn't been unpacked.
And I'm curious what the drama was at Aaron's wedding
that Catherine had to get involved.
But it did feel weird for him to talk so much about running
and getting comfortable and then running again
while also acting like Catherine was the end-all, be-all.
And it was just this weird underlying question for her.
No, but it was also this self-awareness to be like,
I'm not going to pretend like I'm not,
I'm done running because that's who I am.
But I also,
and it seems like he's treating things differently in this relationship and
that Catherine is a completely different sort of partner.
Yeah.
And I think that they're so well matched.
And I think we've always like had a little shit for them.
Nothing big, maybe a canoe. Well, at first we were definitely like had a little shit for them. Nothing big.
Maybe a canoe.
Well at first we were definitely confused.
Just because of the age difference.
For sure.
But now it's like.
I really.
And I started looking at her on Instagram.
And sort of watching these videos.
They've been putting out during quarantine.
And I totally.
I really get it.
Also they put in some footage from the wedding.
And like what a stunningly beautiful bride.
I think one of like the top ten most beautiful brides.
I've ever seen in my life.
Agreed. Like shook to the motherfucking core. Just a beautiful bride. I think one of like the top 10 most beautiful brides I've ever seen in my life. Agreed.
Like shook to the motherfucking core.
Just a beautiful wedding, beautiful dress.
Her body, like everything was just.
Her body.
Sickening.
Sickening.
Also, what I like about David Foster is he's obviously a genius.
He's so beyond like talented.
Everything.
Isn't even the word.
Incredible.
Put in a blender, mix it up.
And he doesn't even pretend to be humble about
it you know like and I appreciate that because what do you mean oh wow it just sort of happened
I kind of do too like I just sort of appreciate the matter-of-factness when he's like I'm great
yes and I feel like in order to achieve certain levels of success you have to be confident in
your own abilities but at a certain point like if you't think, if you've won 16 Grammys,
nominated for 40,
some of the biggest songs of all time,
and you can't say,
sit there and say,
I'm great,
then you obviously don't know
what you're doing.
Yeah.
I really loved like the little nuances
and the little stories
about such big moments in pop culture.
Like honestly,
I didn't even know that David Foster
did The Bodyguard,
I Will Always Love You,
and like what went into that.
And they got Clive Davis.
They got everyone in the documentary.
Fucking Bill Clinton was in it,
which was the weirdest thing ever.
But I just loved those little stories about decisions made with a moment's notice
that created this huge moment for pop culture.
I loved all those little stories.
Now, I have one problem with the documentary and with David Foster's career in general.
And I just feel like he really,
he made a big mistake with Michael Bublé.
Like I, and you know what?
I don't dislike Michael Bublé.
I've actually been to his concerts
and I think they're phenomenal.
But like, to me, he is just like a glorified Vegas showman.
Impersonator.
He's a Frank Sinatra impersonator.
His biggest song ever is a cover.
Like, I don't know.
I just, I didn't, I didn't see, His biggest song ever is a cover. Like, I don't know.
I just, I didn't, I didn't see, aside from having just like a really good voice, which a lot of people have good voices.
Like, I don't really see what David Foster saw in Michael Bublé.
And I feel like maybe that was like a bad year for David Foster.
Cause like, I just, I wouldn't put Josh Groban on the same pedestal as Michael Bublé at
all.
No, I don't think that he's meant to do that.
I don't think I would put either one of them on the same pedestal as Celine Dion.
But what he did with Michael Buble, it doesn't matter whether you think he's good enough
or not.
He created a whole genre of music that people want to listen to who aren't done listening
to Frank Sinatra and want new stuff.
Michael Buble is incredibly talented.
Yes.
I mean, I liked him up until that video.
Me too.
Seeing him in the documentary, at first I was just like a little he gives off such creepy vibes I was just like a little shook
for sure I I just but then we got to it I had no idea that David Foster discovered him uh you know
I didn't like know it but when it happened I was like oh that makes sense yeah um I also love that
David Foster is a Canadian who supports other Canadians yes he's always driving 100 miles to oh I'm sorry the craziest part of
the documentary was the car accident I know I mean first of all I obviously didn't know about that
and so when the story was being told I'm like this is incredible and then when it turned out to be a
very successful comedian who he had I'm sorry not comedian musician who he had hit I was like holy
shit and then it turned out to be like a life-saving hit right the guy had had some sort of hematoma and was wandering in the street at 7 a.m at 6 a.m or 2 a.m actually
it was an unbelievable story that's what I mean like David Foster the documentary was great because
he's obviously like a well-known guy for certain parts of his life but he's really lived a long
life and has so many successes and triumphs and trials and tribulations and I just thought it was
a perfect subject for a documentary and a very well done documentary at that.
Yeah.
Let's talk about Josh Groban.
I would absolutely love to talk about Josh Groban.
I have had a crush on Josh Groban my entire life.
And I guess I'd never really seen him talk on film.
Yeah.
He's a little weird.
Yeah.
And then when they showed like his catalog of work,
they showed that cover, the album cover.
It's like black and white.
And he looks like a different man.
Oh, with the beard. He looks so handsome. Yeah. And he looks like a different man. Oh, with the beard.
He looks so handsome.
Yeah.
And I'm like, that's not the guy in the chair.
No, there's two Josh Grobans.
There's one who wears glasses and lets his hair grow out.
And then there's like snatched Josh Groban with a beard.
And like, he kind of looks like he lives in Brooklyn.
And he doesn't wear his glasses.
And his cheeks are very tight.
Yeah.
So I was just like shook.
And now I just think of Josh Groban completely differently.
Like, no, I do not see him with Katy Perry like I once did.
No, he's very nerdy.
And like you could even tell in his commentary in the interview part of the documentary,
he was kind of weird.
Yeah.
Honestly, like, yeah, no, I don't see him with Katy Perry at all.
I see him, honestly, when he was dating Kat Dennings, like that was perfect.
She's also like kind of weird and like in her own world.
Maybe with Kacey Musgraves.
Wow, that would actually be sickening.
Yeah, but I think she's, like, a little too cool for him.
I know, but she could, like, she could raise him up.
He needs, like, a regular girl.
I mean, the story of, like, how he got to where he is and how...
That, I didn't know that he was just a standard for Bocelli,
and that's how he was discovered.
But the way that Celine Dion, like, kind of nurtured him
just made me love her so much more I know Josh Groban is an incredible talent I
absolutely like it's crazy and what's also crazy is that David would be like I have this artist
we're putting out this album put it out now it'll sell 50,000 copies but to me David Foster is very
like b2b not b2c like he doesn't, and this was before really social media,
so it's not like he had this fan base.
So how did he get so much influence in sales and consumers?
Like were people following just the work of David Foster?
I don't know, but I do think when someone became big in his sphere,
it was like a company.
Like Celine Dion would leverage a voice like Josh Groban. it was this sort of family yeah definitely but I just thought I was wondering
how he could I don't have so much consumer influence when he's very much on the industry
side yeah but no that's true and how he knew he was he was all about making the music but then
he also knew it would sell 50,000 units like how yeah so I just I thought that was an interesting tidbit also when he was like doesn't want to be in the studio now
because he doesn't think um he like is capable of being in the room with Lady Gaga like I actually
think they would be fabulous together and to me like that was a dumb statement because if he
really knew anything about Lady Gaga he would know that he they're very similar like she knows
everything like she went on the road with Tony Bennett like they have they're more alike than
they are on a like I actually think a Lady Gaga David Foster album could be just the
thing that this year needs like but when he said that he would have worked on Star is Born in a
heartbeat like that's also what Star is Born needed yes of course I was actually shocked that
he didn't write Shallow you know yeah also um like I under he used the wrong reference when he
meant Lady Gaga like he could have said like Bebe Rexha that's who we met and and by the way I hate that I always use Bebe Rexha when I'm talking about generic
pop stars because I actually love Bebe Rexha and I think she's so talented and we met her and she
was so nice and I really only have good things to say about her but I mean like Ava Max you know
like I need like a different name because I love Bebe Rexha and I actually respect her and I feel
like every time I like make a joke about pop stars I use her name and I want to stop doing that. Yeah.
But um you know what I mean. Like Meghan Train'm like trainer yes yes yes yes but actually she's also so talented is a very
talented songwriter I take it back I mean like uh I mean like I'll come up with one yeah also
I was just thinking about um how David Foster like should definitely be on song land
of course also what I thought was interesting is
that on I was looking at some of the songs that he's written and a lot of the songs that he's
worked on his writing credit is Linda Thompson so she's also like a songwriter she's is credited on
some of the biggest songs that he's written so I just thought that was still cashing in
yeah I wonder what it seemed like they had a nice life yeah to be honest it doesn't seem like he has
that much like he doesn't have a terrible relationship
with his ex-wives but I did think it was really interesting how he said his really his regret when
it comes to his marriages is leaving Rebecca who I think is Aaron and Sarah's mom yeah I agree
because that is to me when I think of like the Foster family I think of obviously like Sarah
and Aaron and Jordan yeah also I love the transparency around wanting to be an EGOT.
Yes.
And now David Foster is working on three Broadway productions.
Love to see it.
Unclear if I will be seeing it.
Right.
Bad time to transition to Broadway.
It's true, but it gives also him a lot of time to work on what he's working on.
I really hope that tea comes down for him.
Yes. The weirdness with the elevators was so interesting. And honestly, I've heard that from
a lot of very famous people that they just don't take elevators. And I think the way that I see it
is like a lot of people who shot shoot to stardom grew up in very simple lives, like small towns.
And if you grow up taking elevators like it's not a big deal. But if you're an adult and you're really thinking logistically, like I'm going to get in
this moving box, this is actually very dangerous. Like the older you are, I actually understand
not wanting to get into an elevator. But if you're a kid who took elevators all the time,
it's like not a big deal. You're kind of desensitized to it. But it's something I've
seen with a few famous people that I think is very interesting. That's how I feel about driving
a car. Exactly. Like the older you get, actually, the more scary it is and the less likely you are to actually do it.
Yeah, I agree. That was interesting as well. The last thing I want to talk about is I watch
this movie Desperado on Netflix. It's a Netflix original. It's like, you know, they're releasing
just like shitty content. And it's like these three best gal pals. Anna Camp was in it.
And that guy was in it who is just like the guy in every bad movie. He's the guy from Duff.
His name is Robbie something.
Oh, yeah. He's actually very handsome.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, Robbie with an A.
Yeah.
Duff, Robbie.
Robbie Amell.
Yeah.
It was just like such a bad movie.
It was two hours, but it was also like kind of good.
I don't know.
Um, I would love to hear what everyone thinks about it.
There was like so much CGI in it. It was so so strange like they were in Mexico and there's like this
scene where like a dolphin like literally comes up and like dick slaps her it makes it's literally
the dumbest thing ever but it's so strange because it's it was so poorly done CGI it was like
literally it was it was the weirdest movie it took me two days to watch it and I really like did not
like it but also sometimes I was like it was really weird I
don't know if I would recommend it but it did you know fill up some time in my day which is all you
can ask for when it comes to quarantine very interesting maybe I'll check it out I have so
many things to watch I just like I don't even know where to start the kissing booth trailer has been
I saw you know what I was thinking about um so strangely when it comes to the kissing booth is
the kissing booth came out before to all the boys I love before but we've already seen the sequel of To All the Boys. We haven't even, like, we just
saw the trailer. There's something so weird with Kissing Booth, like, between the Jacob Elordi and
Joey King of it all, and, like, literally it's been two years. I watched the first Kissing Booth in my
old apartment on 32nd Street. Wow. Isn't that weird? Yeah. It's just, there's so much weirdness
there. It's like, why bother now? No, I mean, it was a great movie and I'm sure the sequel
will be great
and I'll look forward
to adding it to my list
of things I'm never getting to.
Yes,
exactly.
And on that note,
that's all she wrote.
Thank you guys so much.
I think she's been writing
for a while actually.
Yeah.
