Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:30 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.
Starting point is 00:00:45 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.
Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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,
Starting point is 00:01:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:56 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
Starting point is 00:02:35 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.
Starting point is 00:02:58 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
Starting point is 00:03:18 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,
Starting point is 00:03:50 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.
Starting point is 00:04:03 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.
Starting point is 00:04:14 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
Starting point is 00:04:44 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
Starting point is 00:05:24 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.
Starting point is 00:05:49 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
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:06:55 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 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.
Starting point is 00:07:29 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.
Starting point is 00:07:43 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
Starting point is 00:08:08 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
Starting point is 00:08:38 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:31 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
Starting point is 00:09:56 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.
Starting point is 00:10:09 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.
Starting point is 00:10:18 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
Starting point is 00:10:30 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
Starting point is 00:10:59 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
Starting point is 00:11:35 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
Starting point is 00:12:16 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.
Starting point is 00:12:50 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
Starting point is 00:13:07 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
Starting point is 00:13:43 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.
Starting point is 00:14:17 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
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:09 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,
Starting point is 00:15:42 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
Starting point is 00:16:25 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
Starting point is 00:16:57 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
Starting point is 00:17:30 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
Starting point is 00:17:56 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...
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:30 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
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:27 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?

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.
Starting point is 00:21:15 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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
Starting point is 00:22:27 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.
Starting point is 00:23:08 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.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Chris Evans. Knives Out. Yes. Knives Out. Yeah. Okay. We'll start using that reference. Knives Out.
Starting point is 00:23:31 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,
Starting point is 00:23:47 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
Starting point is 00:24:05 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
Starting point is 00:24:56 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
Starting point is 00:25:30 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:20 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
Starting point is 00:26:57 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
Starting point is 00:27:53 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.
Starting point is 00:29:18 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
Starting point is 00:29:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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,
Starting point is 00:30:28 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
Starting point is 00:30:42 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.
Starting point is 00:31:19 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.
Starting point is 00:31:41 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
Starting point is 00:32:28 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
Starting point is 00:33:16 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. And now we are moving on to our TV recap segment.

Starting point is 00:36:03 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
Starting point is 00:36:46 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:37 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.
Starting point is 00:38:11 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,
Starting point is 00:38:30 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
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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,
Starting point is 00:39:27 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
Starting point is 00:39:43 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
Starting point is 00:40:16 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
Starting point is 00:40:49 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.
Starting point is 00:41:16 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
Starting point is 00:41:28 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
Starting point is 00:41:43 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
Starting point is 00:42:30 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,
Starting point is 00:43:12 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,
Starting point is 00:43:36 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,
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.
Starting point is 00:44:25 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.
Starting point is 00:44:39 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
Starting point is 00:45:28 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
Starting point is 00:46:09 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
Starting point is 00:46:48 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.
Starting point is 00:47:12 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
Starting point is 00:47:33 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
Starting point is 00:48:03 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
Starting point is 00:48:18 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.
Starting point is 00:48:37 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.
Starting point is 00:48:49 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.
Starting point is 00:48:59 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.
Starting point is 00:49:11 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.
Starting point is 00:49:23 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,
Starting point is 00:49:48 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.
Starting point is 00:49:56 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,
Starting point is 00:50:04 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?
Starting point is 00:50:31 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.
Starting point is 00:50:44 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.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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.
Starting point is 00:51:26 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
Starting point is 00:52:09 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.
Starting point is 00:52:32 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.
Starting point is 00:52:44 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.
Starting point is 00:52:55 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,
Starting point is 00:53:12 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.
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:53:56 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
Starting point is 00:54:30 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
Starting point is 00:55:08 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.
Starting point is 00:55:43 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
Starting point is 00:56:23 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.
Starting point is 00:56:53 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.
Starting point is 00:57:21 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
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:13 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
Starting point is 00:58:27 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
Starting point is 00:59:01 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
