Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to The Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday, day number two of Toast Friends and Family here. Nope. Toast Friends and Family Week here at The Morning Toast. I'm so excited to be joined by what is turning out to be a regular co-host for The Morning Toast, and I'm really thrilled about it. You're so easy. Like, this is just the best day. I feel like, well, first of all, I love being here. You know that. I love having you. So I'm always available if you need me. But I feel like I'm always texting you like I've gotta be late you are and then you showed up right on time I know I'm a

panicker yeah but that's what happens when you move out of the city uh-huh and I couldn't get to my uber today it was like a thing my hair's wet whatever at least I have a botox this time I'm good you look fabulous you have botox you have a wedding glow Taylor's getting married in like less than a month, right? Yep. Less than a month. How do you feel about that? I feel good. How do you feel? I feel like we didn't plan properly. I feel like I am in panic mode. I feel like I bought a bunch of stuff at HomeGoods that I didn't need. I saw that, but I actually liked those pillows. Are you having like a Moroccan themed rehearsal dinner? Cause that's what I, the vibe I got from all your pillows. Yeah, no, it's a clam bake.

So yeah, those poofs didn't really scream clam bake. So we needed extra seating. Right. And so it's like 25 adults, but like a bunch of kids. And I'm like, oh shit, I forgot where the kids are going to sit. So I was like, you know, poofs are great. If they like smear schmutz all over them, I'm going to be fine with it and so but so I'm like and it kind of pulls in I don't know honestly I don't know you know what now that you said clambake I do see the nautical aesthetic

that those pillows were serving this is why we're friends thank you so mazel tov I honestly do not envy you I had such a miserable time planning my wedding. They're the worst. Yeah, like, are you having fun or no? Because, like, some girls are like, oh, the best time of my life. They're liars. They're liars. Or delusional or heavily medicated. Or we're just not like other girls, you know? I think we're honest.

I think we're spazzes. Transparent. Yes. And I do think we're both a little, like, type A. And, like, I was very easily triggered. Yes. Well, my first wedding planning, I still have PTSD from it. Oh my God, I forgot.

This is your second wedding. And I kind of am approaching this wedding like a groom. Like, and I defer to Tay for everything. So whenever she makes a decision, I'm like, it's Tay's decision. Like I'm actually, I kind of like, like namaste, put myself in this like trance of just being like Zen. And it's really fit. Like I, trance of just being, like, zen. And it's really fit. Like, I get why grooms don't freak out over weddings.

Is Taylor Donahue the bridezilla or are you? She, I'm not. She, if anyone's a bridezilla, it's her. She, Claudia. I feel like if I asked her that question, she would give me a different answer. Because I love you. Uh-uh. I just don't really believe you.

No, we did a Taste of Taylor together. Okay. I just don't really believe you. No, we did a taste of Taylor together. Okay. So you can still listen to it. And we talked about the wedding and who's the bridezilla and who isn't. And she kind of copped to it. There was a moment where she was, so her friend is going to be the photographer. So she was like, she's like hooking us up with prices and it's going to be like super easy. We're playing for a travel, yada, yada, yada. But Tay was like, we need to build a structure for Stacey and I was like I don't know what that means she's like I'm like are you talking like Lollapalooza like when there's like scaffolding so someone can climb up into a tower for an angle and she's like precisely and I'm

what you know what that's insane it's not unheard of it is is a little extreme, but like, I know you forget it, but your Instagram is an important part of your business and just like your life in general. And I know you don't treat it as such. You know I don't subscribe to that. I know you don't treat it as such because your Instagram looks like you put Vaseline on your camera lens, but it is important. The photos are important. And actually I really respect respect Taylor works in videography

and photography and production so she knows the importance of capturing the moment you my friend do not you'll capture the moment like 45 minutes later no like 45 days later and be like best wedding ever truly well okay I mean I guess I could see Taylor Donahue kind of taking on that role. But I would just love to be a fly on the wall during your guys' weddings conversations. I know. I think it's going to be, I really, it's, we're approaching it from like a chill perspective. It's more of like a dinner party than a wedding. It's, I mean, 25 adults is like not insane.

So it's actually much more pleasurable than last time. Of course. For sure. For a million reasons. But no, I know it can be a nightmare. And even still, like we're going over budget and it's just like, we're just like making snap decisions. I just like, now I'm at a place where like, I'm doing the thing that you do with the wedding

where it's like, what budget? And I'm like, I want a lighting designer to come in and put chandeliers in the trees. I heard, I saw your Instagram story where you were like looking for a lighting designer in the Boston area, South Philly. And I was like, this bitch is on crack. I'm starting to lose it. What the fuck is a lighting designer? I'm also starving. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is.

That's the other thing. I'm on this crazy diet where all I eat is protein. I can't even have a vegetable. That's not a diet. I know, it's starvation. That's not a diet. I know. It's starvation. That's a life sentence. It's terrible. So, but my, literally my wedding jumpsuit doesn't zip.

Well, so this was my question because I feel like the best part amongst obviously all the things like marrying the love of your life. Yes. But a lesbian wedding is like you can really get creative with like you could wear a white tuxedo. Yep. So what is Taylor wearing? What are you wearing?

Like you could wear a white tuxedo. Like what is Taylor wearing? What are you wearing? So I got a jumpsuit off of ASOS for $213. And honestly, it's chic as fuck. Okay. And I was the, so it's not available anymore. Spoiler alert.

Um, but it, it's like off the shoulder? Off the shoulder. But it's got like a dramatic cover of my arm because I'm insecure about my arms. I don't want to show my arm. Same. So it covers the arms, but it's still for summer. Like everything else is open, so I'm not going to be sweating to death. Summer wedding is tough. Tough. I used to joke that I wanted to have a winter wonderland themed wedding outside in December.

I mean, I kind of understand it. Because like no amount of air conditioning was enough for me. No, ever. And then it's like, it's very simple. It's wide leg and it has pockets, which I love. I love a pocket. And then like kind of like a simple darted pleat, which I'm not sure what it really looks like yet because it doesn't fit.

I'm really interested in the pockets. I know dresses with pockets are amazing, but on your wedding day, what are you going to keep in your pocket? Like lip gloss? Oh, some ciggies. I feel that. I know dresses with pockets are amazing, but on your wedding day, what are you going to keep in your pocket? Like lip gloss? I don't know. Some ciggies. I feel that. No, totally.

Can you imagine? My mom would kill me. Would she? Murder. I feel like I could see it. I'm still scared of my mom. Isn't everyone? I smoked once in front of her.

It was when we were like, we were in Florida on my birthday right before I was like literally going to serve my husband with divorce papers. Oh, so it was a dark time for everyone. It was dark. And my friend was like, oh, we couldn't with divorce papers. Oh, so it was a dark time for everyone. It was dark. And my friend was like, oh, we couldn't find you because I thought Taylor was smoking a cigarette. And I was like, God damn it. In front of my mom? That's a tough part of growing up.

Like when your adult life starts to mesh with your family life. Yes. And you're like starting to drink at like family barbecues like you did in college. Yes. And your parents are like, who did I raise? Yes. It's a tough part of growing up so but my mom was like honey you're gonna get divorced dude you do cigarette

so but i i did quit smoking a while ago and how do you feel about it i miss it i miss it i think it's chic and fab were you one of those people who smoked like in the morning uh at times yes like in college i definitely was awakened what kind of cigarettes did you smoke marble lights interesting yeah sometimes capris when I was in Europe and felt fancy you know what I find so interesting and I feel like you'll actually relate to is so many reality shows that I watch every now and then you catch them smoking cigarettes and Luann Luann smoked cigarettes Dorinda smoked cigarettes um MJ all the shots of sunset smoked cigarettes a lot of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills do Lisa Vanderpump when she when she got, like, attacked in Dubai,

she went back to her hotel room with Ken, and they were smoking cigarettes. Oh, yeah. So many of the Vanderpump Rules kids, Kristen Doty, everyone. Oh, Kristen is a smoker. And I just didn't know people, like, smoked cigarettes anymore. I know. It is. I remember I was, I forget who I was, but I was with a bunch of people,

and they were talking about how, how like smoking is so taboo. And this was like five or six years ago. This is like even before Juul existed. And I was like one of the only smokers there at the time. And I remember feeling just like so insecure and like you smell like that. That's the problem. It's like, it's not just like you're killing yourself, which of course you are. It's terrible.

But like, it's offensive to those around you. Secondhand smoke kills. It's just like the teeth. It's the worst. I was listening to Heather McDonald's podcast and she did a really funny bit about how like smoking is like chewy. It's like old school. It is chewy.

But like every kid in America has a vape. So that's going to be the new cigarette. And here and riddle me this. Okay. Here's the thing with vaping is it's way cleaner i.e you don't smell there's not really a trace of it however it that's what's bad about it because then you can just do it wherever like imagine if i was in like i had to like i remember one time i was smoking in high school please no one tell my mom about this episode and sending it i had my friend hold my cigarette so I could smoke it so I wouldn't it

wouldn't like be on my hands because my mom was like such a tyrant and I was so terrified of her but like if I was in high school with Jewel are you fucking nuts can I ask you a question yes when was the first time you smoked a cigarette like how did you get into the smoking scene okay so I was working at um a place in Hingham Massachusetts called Fire King rest in peace Fire King is it a peace, Fire King. Is it a restaurant? It was like a bakery restaurant. And I worked in the bakery, not to brag.

And there was a hot boy that worked with me that I had a crush on. Because I did not yet know I was lesbian. And he smoked. He invited me and my friends out to a party. And he was like, I'm going to go outside. I have a cigarette. I was like, me too. Oh my God.

That's how it starts. That is exactly. That is a cliche from a that's how it starts that is exactly that is a cliche from a movie how it starts yep and then I remember I was in Appalachia building like roofs and houses for um like Habitat for Humanity exactly and it was like all of us were away and I remember I'm gonna I'm gonna do it I'm gonna drop it like it's hot Kate Bosworth was on it with me we spoke about this last episode Kate Bosworth went to high school we would smoke cigarettes together by the telephone the like the um what's it called no the telephone pole no the cell phone no the cell phone the what's it called payphone

what's this called um and so then i was like oh this is cool i'm doing it yeah by the way this just goes to cool by the way this just goes to prove the theory like only cool people smoke cigarettes truly so but it was like on and off throughout college then after and then i just i mean i just quit no when we met you smoked cigarettes did i yeah yeah i was like was i a heavy smoker like you were in a light one but i never thought anything of it i've actually never talked about this really really I feel safe that my mom is not going to watch this potentially your mom if you did I'm so sorry it's not like the biggest secret I mean it is what it is I'm such you could have been doing crystal meth like that's what I'm saying right every time I do something bad I'm like well I'm not doing crystal meth like

that's my bar for what's acceptable behavior you know over the weekend I was with my parents and we're talking about like Tay and the marriage and like kids in the future and I was saying like I'm not caring but I told him that Tay and I had this conversation where Tay was like I'll carry yours you carry mine and like we'll bond with each other's that's kind of like a nice idea and then Tay was like wait I don't want mine in your body that's so mean so accurate so fair she's like was like a student athlete I don't want mine in your body. That's so mean. So accurate. So fair. Because she's like, was like a student athlete in college. Like she's a drinker, but she was like, she's square.

She's so fit. I'm wild. Was wild. Was. Was. Was. So I just feel like, so I told my parents that and my mom was like, had a moment where she was like, I don't even, like I want to know, but like, I don't even want to know. And I was like had a moment she was like I don't even like I

want to know but like I don't even want to know and I was like you don't you do and then my dad was like heroin and I was like dad no but see no at least you're not doing heroin thank you if you use that as like your bar mentally like you will always be on the right path like sometimes I like act like I take really shitty care of my body like I eat really bad like I go to a lot of parties I drink a lot yeah and then I wake up and I'm like you know I should change my behavior and then I'm like well I'm not doing crystal math I could always be doing worse at your birthday party I became a tequila bottle oh 100% I was telling Olivia's story and literally oh my god I'm sorry I forgot you were a repetitive Rita on my birthday.

Like, oh my God, that's actually one of my biggest pet peeves. When people get drunk and they get fucked up and they don't stop repeating themselves. And they're telling you a story and they maybe like lose their train of thought. So they start back at the beginning. I was losing my fucking mind. I was just like, girl, does this story ever? And this is my party. I've got to go mingle. Tay was like trying to help me and I was like I got it Tay you were a verbal terrorist

like holding people hostage it was torture I totally forgot it's funny now i was hoping olivia was as fucked up as me no she actually did mention it to me the next day but you know we don't care we love you oh my god i'm i'm literally crying i'm crying we have a great show for you guys today taylor is going to join me in discussing the fast five stories and if you like what you hear taylor is the host of the taste of taylor podcast which is available on all platforms and she also hosts a daily radio show just like this, two hours a day on Patreon, patreon.com slash the Taylor Strucker Show. Remember when you were screaming it drunk on your friend's balcony? Oh, I just thought we would mention the last time Taylor was here.

Yes. Taylor and I were like, let's go to lunch after. Like, who doesn't love a lunch? Ladies, who lunch? 12 o'clock, we had lunch. We stumbled out of the restaurant at about four we wanted to go buy chanel bags no you you wanted to get how dare you you did how dare you you were the one who brought it up you fucking bitch i said i would let chanel's around the corner and

Like, they didn't do one during the pandemic, right? I don't know because this is my first season watching. Well, we did one, like, there was a guy named Cashel on it.

I think it was two seasons ago. Okay. And we were addicted. We have not yet started it. We're just crazy. It's so good. It's so good. You know what?

And with Paramount Plus, it's so easy to watch. I love the host, Arielle. I think she's awesome. But she is so much funnier on Instagram. Like, that is such a sin that network TV does where they don't let the host, like, live. She's gorgeous. She's so funny. Okay, there's a lot of news today. The biggest story of the day is Prince Harry is back in the news.

He nabs a $20 million deal from Penguin Random House for a memoir. I'm here for it. So he's getting at least $20 million up front to publish his memoirs with the same publisher that gave Barack and Michelle Obama a $65 million book deal. As Page Six revealed, Harry has been secretly writing a memoir for nearly a year and he has sold it to Penguin Random House.

While the renegade royal said Monday he'll be donating all of the proceeds to charity, it's yet to be made clear whether he will keep the multi-million dollar advance believed to be at least $20 million according the multi-million dollar advance whoa believed to be at least 20 million according to publishing insiders the advance yeah so basically how for those who don't know how to advance works is you get paid up front like what a publisher thinks you're worth and they're hoping you'll out earn that so like let's say you get a uh advance of

five dollars you have to then sell five dollars worth of books before you can make any money so the publisher has to sell 20 million dollars worth of books before harry gets any proceeds got it so him saying that he's going to donate the proceeds is to charity after is it if it's after that's like a really kind of sneaky way of vocalizing it because if you say that i'm assuming you're donating your 20 million dollar advance that's a proceed no well yeah it's an advance here's the thing truth I don't care either way like like I'd like for him like because I feel like he needs to make money and like listen I know it's like she needs like 20 million actually yeah because he's a prince and the whole security thing is a real thing and he no longer has it through the royal family yada yada yada yada I am team Harry and Meghan and here's why. Because I am narcissistic and it reminds me

of me escaping from very different, it wasn't a royal family, but it was a wealthy prominent family. And so when you're like, fuck your money, fuck you, I believe in me, I can do this on my own or at least some version better of this. It's actually a really interesting perspective. I stand for it. So that's why I'm super duper team them. I do want to say, I do think now they are extremely financially set with all of their Netflix deals. She has a big Disney Plus deal. They started this company with Oprah. I do think they currently, after, you know, leaving a year and a half ago, I do believe they have generational wealth already acquired. I really do think that. How much do you think they have? Like a hundred million? She wrote a children's

book. I mean, so Netflix Netflix deal Disney plus voiceover right 20 million dollars for a book right she wrote a very popular New York Times best-selling children's book I don't know how much money is in children's books um they started this mental health it's like a um virtual therapy type of company with Oprah right um they're just they get paid like to fart I just love that they're like oh you're going to try to control us with your money. We're going to leave and we're going to make so much more. Well, let me ask you your thoughts on this because you can relate to a situation on a smaller scale.

Yes. So it's confusing, I think, for a lot of people who I feel like I want them to be empowered. Like I want them to share their story. Like things were so hard for so long and that's kind of one side of it yes but then the other side of it is like they're still very much trying to emulate that they have a good relationship with the queen and they named the kid after the queen yes and you know they go back to a lot of different events so it's like are you running away like I just think there is some confusing messaging yeah I do I actually I

really agree with that I never even thought of it until you said it there is I mean I think that there's so much smoke and mirrors and so much fake like pretense bullshit in everyone who's involved in that family um it's just the way it works. And it's probably hard for Harry to fully shake it. Yeah, it's tough, for sure. But, you know, I mean, yeah, that is where we differ. Because when I cut, I ran. I mean, I bounced everything behind. Well, you didn't have a kid, which a kid always, because the kid is half royal.

And you didn't leave with your husband. So it's Harry's family, you know? That's such a good point. They're more tied to them in a million different ways. It was easier for you to leave. You're totally right. So she probably defers to him. So I think she's a truth teller, or at least her truth teller.

And then I think that he's probably like trying to, he's breaking away, but also it's his family. It's hard to say to somebody just completely abandon your family it's not I mean it wouldn't be a good look it's not natural no so one other little piece of information that I thought was worth mentioning is that Harry's co-writer who's like an in the industry known as a power ghost writer J.R. Moringer is getting at least a million dollars in the events damn yeah make that money honey yeah no it's just like crazy how crazy how interesting it is to watch them. Oh, and they also have a huge Spotify deal. Developing podcasts.

Yes. So they're completely fine. Yeah, they're good. But they really are like so famous. It's so crazy. This ghostwriter's a cutie. J.R. Murriger, he can get it. So yeah, I don't know if he's gonna be like

what what the the context of the book is I have to imagine it'll be very similar to the Oprah interview I was gonna say more of the same but like maybe there's got to be there's got to be even more stories to tell right did you read or like at all finding freedom that like their approved biography by those two uh journalists I had started it it was it was just like so boring no it was like so i don't like i don't know what the right word is like almost like propaganda like she stepped it was like a hallmark movie she stepped out of the limo he left the palace it was over like it was so, like, overly romanticized. I'm like, what are you guys trying to prove with this book?

Like, it was just, it was bizarre, honestly. Yeah, I'm not going to read that one. It's not for you, but I actually do think this will be super, super interesting. Me too. $20 million, man. That's nuts. Also, what do you think about Priyanka shading them? I fucking loved it.

Okay, I do have to say, so the story is basically all these celebrities are at Wimbledon. Kate Middleton was there, obviously, and then Priyanka Chopra was there and didn't say

hi to Kate Middleton. Yes. So the story was like Priyanka Chopra didn't say hi to Kate Middleton. And I actually think a more accurate headline would have been

future queen doesn't say hi to random American actress. Like, I don't think the two of them are friends. Yes, they were both at Meghan's wedding. I don't think it was like this intentional snub

by any means. I doubt Kate knows who she is, like for real. Well, when the story I read, Kate and Prince, or whatever, William, yes, walked, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,

Cambridge, walked in and everyone clapped. Okay. As is like protocol. Yeah. And Priyanka did not. Got it. And like fixed her scarf instead. She probably did do that to stand with her friend. I like that though. Do I think William

and Kate give a shit? No. No. Zero. No but I actually I didn't read that part. I thought that they just like didn't say hi. For sure she didn't. Like that's her friend. But that's a loyal bitch. I like that. Those are the people who her, who she believes wronged her friend. Right, exactly. I believe that, for sure. I liked it. And if that was me and I was friends with Megan, I would probably do the same. Right?

Yeah. You always want to surround yourself with loyal people. I would do that for you. You would do that for me. Oh my God, I would cut a bitch who came for you. Same. This next story is actually really crazy, because even though I've been really reluctant to talk about the Sex and the City revival, and I think we should talk about why I feel

that way. Yeah. Natasha is back, according to People Magazine. Bridget Moynihan was spotted on the set of the Sex and the City revival in New York City. Good. Bridget Moynihan, who played Biggs, second wife Natasha on Sex and the City,

was spotted in New York City on Monday filming scenes for the new upcoming HBO Max sequel, and just like that. Photographers snapped Moynihan, 50, on the streets of Soho wearing a blue short-sleeved blouse, cream knee-length skirt, and a tan gladiator. She was also carrying an oversized green bag.

A fan named Gregory Littley spotted Moynihan too and shared footage of her between takes on his Instagram account. I don't know why that's a relevant piece of information. But let's talk about a few things. I think we should start kind of, I don't think you and I have ever really discussed. I love. You love the idea of a revival.

I am, my name is Taylor Strecker and I'm a Sex and the Singing addict. Okay, I have to say, I'm a really big fan as well. Like, I watch both movies. I've rewatched the series. It's a comfort show. So when I'm at home, like, I don't really, it's hard for me to sit down and watch like a housewife because I'm like at full attention, pausing, rewinding, taking notes, like literally. I can watch Sex and the City and Sopranos.

Those are my two over and over and over and over and over again. Like, and Sex and the City is my favorite when I'm like doing like stuff around the house or like working and answering emails. I love it. It's like a comfort to me. So I have watched the series, I swear to God, like 150 times. And what did you think about the movies? Ass on ass on ass.

What? But. I totally disagree. I still, if it's on, I'll be like, cancel our plans. We have to watch this movie. I don't even know how you could say that. Abu Dhabi is the best movie. This is like you liking Black Cherry White Claw.

Okay, I have to tell you something. I've let you guess like me enough. Okay. Everyone likes Black Cherry White Claw the best. It's a universal decision. okay i have to tell you something i've let you guess like me enough okay everyone likes black cherry white claw the best it's a universal decision you are a freak who likes natural lies and you think that makes you just like everyone else no you're the freak okay you are the freak i'm sick of this shit i try my cherry it's really good how dare you how dare you continue to make fun of me when you know that you like black cherry too?

You literally on your podcast like a year ago made me so embarrassed. I'm crying. And I've never got so many DMs from people being like, I don't know what the fuck Taylor's talking about. Everyone likes black cherry best. That's like you saying like, I like grape Tylenol, you know? No one likes grape Tylenol. Exactly. My God. fucking wench.

So back to Sex and the City. Back to Sex and the City. So now that we have the revival, I'm not sure how I feel about an actual revival, but I do know I'm not dying for it ever since Kim Cattrall announced she wouldn't be back,

which begs... It's a sin which begs the question first of all which character do you think that you are I always thought I was Charlotte wrong oh I'm Miranda because she's a lesbian well that's funny because I think I'm a Miranda too but I'm not a lesbian but I just think like she's I actually have this a whole chapter on this in my book about how Miranda has been so stigmatized by our generation as like the worst one. Yes.

Justice for Miranda. When in reality, nobody's funnier. Nobody's more relatable. And at the end of all the relationships in the show, maybe equal with Charlotte and Harry, hers is so real and like a real marriage. She's a career woman. She's so successful. She was the first one to buy an apartment.

She had Ralph Lauren paint in her home. Yes. She like she's just everything of the sort and I think they did her dirty with a lot of her hairstyles and her outfits and people just kind of labeled her as the weirdo when if you actually watch the show with some integrity. Yes. You will realize like she's the star. She's hilarious. We all wanted to be the Carrie. That was ass. No I think we wanted to be the Charlotte. Carrie's the worst No, I think we wanted to be the Charlotte. Carrie's the worst. Carrie's the worst. That's a part of growing up.

Realizing that homegirl is the worst. First of all, back to Natasha. Had an affair with a married man. Yes. Cheated on her fiance. Yes. Took every single person in her life for granted. Her friends were constantly there for her.

She was never giving enough attention to their issues as they were giving to her. She was just like an animal and like, I'm sorry, liking kitten heels is not a personality trait. Adulting is knowing that Carrie Bradshaw is the worst. Hundred percent. Period in the story. I'm sure you can relate to this. As someone with financial freedom who like works hard, watching her like that episode where she, her condo's going uh co-op her and aiden break up for the second time and he's going to sell that apartment and she doesn't have any money and she needs like 30 grand she tries to get a loan and the lady's like you don't even have a job why would we give you a loan she has like 900 in savings right and because she spent it all on

shoes she has 40 000 for the shoes and she literally gets samantha offers the money she says no miranda offers the money she says no and charlotte doesn't offer the money so she storms over to charlotte's place and it's like why don't you offer me the money and charlotte's like because that's not appropriate yeah and what what it's my problem that you don't have uh financial literacy yes and then she gives her her engagement ring which we all know now through me has no value whatsoever yes because that's why i well i don't have my ring on today because i'm riding the subway and i get scared oh that's fair right i know a lot of people who don't wear the jewelry on the subway but uh wasbin's ring was i i the plan was to sell it and get two new ones but it's like worthless

it's like it's like a car it like you drive it off a lot and it just like tanks in value does it take in value like where was it from a store it was from quayot so does it take in value back at the store everywhere or just you can just the diamond though no um i'll say this oh fuck it i'll tell you how much it was you want to know yes it he got it for around 60,000 and I heard that I could get maybe 11,000 for it you're kidding you're her so you're better off insuring it and it's like and losing it and if you get robbed or someone you know or you lose it like that's it actually holds more value in an insurance form and that's not me planning insurance fraud and that's not you encouraging no audience to commit insurance fraud which is very serious kitty i'm kidding i'm kidding no but good to know but like for real

though can you imagine no um okay but so let's talk about natasha because i'm not really sure in what context she's going to be brought back back carrie and big are together we have to assume no do you want me to give you a spoiler do you know I read something no I don't want to hear I heard Big died but then I heard him on set so you sure you don't want me to tell you oh no okay fine I mean listen did you hear that he died no he well I heard he died but that was before they're gonna bring him back yeah but now he's back so he's alive Samantha's totes dead hit by a bus yes exactly how would samantha go out in like a really fabulous way she'd like was that like oh like remember that episode where um that woman who looks like jennifer coolidge but who's not jennifer coolidge falls out of falls out a window yes yes that samantha will go out in a

fabulous similar type of way yeah i'm so bored i could die i'm so bored i could die and then she's gone that's when the show was so epic. Like the most random, that's like Darren Star's thing. Like he thinks of the most random fucking like plot lines and Fennifer Foolage falls out a window. Yep. So good. So good.

Okay, so I know why Natasha's, well, how about this? I don't know, but I could, it makes total sense why they brought her back. So you don't know this for sure? I read that. Where'd you read it? Page six. So it's definitely true. Everything on page six is true.

Everything. Except for the stuff about me. Don't read it. Can I just tell you? I don't know. There was a script. Okay. If you don't want to get spoiled, press 30 seconds on the podcast app.

Skip ahead. Carrie and Big are in the middle of an ugly divorce. Good good who the fuck would want to be married to her right what a fucking ungrateful wench so they're getting a divorce and so natasha must be coming back and i don't know what capacity but like that carrie probably reached out to her like oh that's such a carrie thing to do like such a savior complex like yeah like oh my god remember Remember when she like has big come to Aiden's country house and like. To talk about the girl he's seeing. Or when he calls after the affair and she's like, I'm sorry. He's in my life.

He's my friend. What can I say? It's like you cheated with him. And justice for Aiden. Oh, Carrie. Anyway. The life Aiden ended up having with that woman kathy who was also a furniture designer and he had three little kids who were like named tater and tater tot yeah so happy for

him that's the life that he deserved same but then he blew it by making out with carrie and abu dobski you know what things happen in the middle east and you know what i don't think it counts back at home oh my god i don't think they had to make such a big deal about it it's not like they fucked or like had anal they just kiss what would you not like they fucked or had anal. It was a kiss. What would you rather? Them have sex or have anal? Anal. Anal doesn't count. Everybody knows that.

Just ask all the girls who are virgins down south. Right, ask all the girls from my high school. Just kidding, guys. That was a thing from when I was. No, it was a thing in my high school, too. I'm a virgin. No, you're not. You're getting married.

You're a virgin. Are you excited to lose your virginity on your wedding night? Well, I'm excited to still lose my butt virginity. Are you nervous? About virginity? No, to lose your virginity to Taylor. I'm so scared. All right.

Maybe if you have any questions, you can let me know. Okay. Okay. So thank you for spoiling that. You're welcome. And we're going to keep going.

T-H-I-N-K-J-I-N-i-n-k-j-i-n-x.com slash t-o-a-s-t i was just thinking one more thing about the sex in the city please reboot i wonder if carrie's gonna get a nice settlement and then she'll finally have financial freedom i actually would like that storyline i would yeah because he's so rich it's like i know he doesn't need all that money do they ever publish because Sex and the City is based off of a series of books by Candace Bushnell who was the real John James Preston in New York's like elite I have no idea please God tell me it wasn't Donald Trump

it could have been though no no right no I don't think so hold on I'm gonna google real big well I know like they had Donald on like pretty early in the seasons. Ron Galati. Ron Galati. What's up with him? Where's Ronnie? Where's Ronnie doing these days? Meet the man who inspired Sex and the City's Mr. Big on Bizarre Magazine.

That sounds legit. Is he hot? I'm about to tell you. Okay. So he's the former Vogue and GQ publisher said to be the inspiration for Bradshaw's longstanding love interest and eventual husband, played on screen by Chris Noth. Although no one knows for sure that Galati is the man behind the character, consistent speculations point in that direction.

I don't have a picture of him, though. I'm sorry. I'm getting lost down this rabbit hole. Ron Galati. Oh, he's got a wife. Ron Galati. It, he's got a wife. Oh, Ron Galati. It's her name, Natasha. Oh my God, here is a picture

of Mr. Big and Ron Galati, I think. Oh, Ron Galati does not look like Chris Knoth. No, Chris Knoth is much hotter. Yeah. Yeah. I love looking at pictures from like when Sex and the City was on the air

and they were all like so, so famous and like younger and they're like fabulous covers of magazines and like paparazzi at the different events. It's like such a fabulous like time capsule. I know. It's like that's an era that will never be again. No. But it's so precious. But you might be saying that about this era in 20 years.

I will be. Yeah. Everything just changes. Okay. Another story that's like fake news you know it's like all these headlines are like i'll just read it to you okay i know what i'm saying hayley baldwin shuts down pregnancy rumors after husband calls them mom and dad in an instagram photo so basically um they aren't expecting a baby despite what fans on instagram might think they went wild wondering

whether the parents they were parents to be after, after Bieber posted a black and white photo of him and Hailey, and then captioned it, mom and dad. Somebody, I mean, a million people commented, baby on the way, what do you mean mom and dad? And then Hailey wrote, I think you should maybe change this caption to dog mom and dad before anyone gets it twisted.

So the whole outcome of this story is a big nothing burger. They're not pregnant. Yeah, how old are they? They're young. nothing burger. They're not pregnant. Yeah. How old are they? They're young. They are. They're not like, you know, inappropriately young to have a child.

No. He's 27, which actually is like a nice. And Hailey Bieber is? 26, 25? She was 24. Oh, she's young. She's young. She's young. That's young to have a child. But they are like super religious and traditional.

And they're super successful. Like it's like they can afford the fuck out of a baby. So I mean. I also just feel like as a model, Hailey's career has never been bigger. And I don't know if she wants to like tame that right now. I feel like she's going to be one of those girls that just snaps right back.

I know. It actually makes me upset. It really makes me upset. I mean, I would be so here for going to be one of those girls that just snaps right back. I know. It actually makes me upset. It really makes me upset. I mean, I would be so here for them to be parents. I have hated Justin Bieber for so long. And, like, the last two years, I, like, adore him. Why did you hate him? Because you had a bad experience with him at Sirius?

Because I interviewed him, and it was really, really bad. Oh, I think you told this story on the last time you were on the episode. I did. I did. But, like, honestly, now looking back, that was my bad. Yeah. You know, when you were telling me this story, you know when... My bad. You know when you were telling me this story you know when my bad you know when you're telling like someone a story you're hearing something from someone and they're talking about like you know a friend that like you know betrayed them

and you're listening to the story and you're like I think you're the toxic one yep I think I did do remember feeling that way when you're telling me the Justin Bieber story like well you acted inappropriately I was out of control I was unhinged and it was my bad. I totally fucked up. He could have handled it a little bit better given like, I wasn't like being mean to him.

I was joking with him. But ultimately like, I should have respected him more. I think that he was insecure because he was this kid trying to be taken seriously as an adult and I was an adult

trying to like not flirt with a child because that's inappropriate and it just was like, an explosion. Especially such a good looking child. I know. So you're back on the Biebs train.

I'm back. I'm so deep in. His music is so good recently. And I love the two of them together. She's a delight. I think she makes him better. I'm just, I stay on them. She did wonders like for his image and just for, I think him on like a personal level.

I feel like you actually really did make him a better person. But also publicly, I feel like so many people like stand them now when they used to think he was like you know a menace yes remember like when he got like arrested for throwing eggs at his neighbor's house that's the Justin that I was like when I was on the air at series that was like where he was he was an asshole yeah but he was also like a child exactly who grew up like with no boundaries yeah so I feel like you know what it's funny too I used to be like so anti like loving celebrities and stanchip and all that stuff and now I don't know I'm just like I'm so happy with Tay and I love her so much and I feel like I'm like I'm more open to like loving Taylor hurt people hurt people yeah and that was you before you met Tay I've been there so true

it's sometimes I just hate things because it's funnier for the podcast. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Like Carrie. I gotta make content. Like, it's funnier. We have to eat some things. Of course. And Carrie, some people make it so easy, Carrie Bradshaw.

So easy. Thank God. What a gift. Yeah, I know. And I actually feel like, I know people aren't their characters, but I think if there's any actress who's most similar to the role that they play, even though I've never met Sarah Jessica Parker, this is just a guesstimate no it's her I actually will say I think she's even worse than Carrie yeah I think so too more delusional I still think she's fab and I'm still obsessed

but like I think she must be the pitts McGuitts and I and I've actually grown to love Samantha so much more obsessed like what a great character what What a modern woman. Right. Owned her own PR company, was so sexually free. Yes. Was so limitless in her judgments of people. Like she was really, I'm telling you, the show will suffer immensely. Immensely. So I got to interview Kim at Sirius. And then like later that day, I went to Amaranth where we went with my mom and my aunts. And guess who was there? Kim. And they were like, go say hi. And I was like was like she's not gonna remember me and I was on my way to the bathroom and I was like hi and she was like Taylor like and that is when you know someone is a celebrity that's a real deal because they can they're so allowed to forget because they have so many interviews exactly

wow that's a great story so she's actually like even a good person you know I recently the camera I recently watched um remember Eat Your Hollywood Stories? Yes. They were running some old ones on E! Like on a Saturday a couple months ago. And it was actually fabulous. And I was watching the Sex and the City one where they did how everyone got cast. Oh, they did like a whole breakdown of the show?

What they were doing career-wise before Sex and the City. How the show blew up. Like really changed the zeitgeist. It was fascinating. It was outdated, obviously, because it hadn't been updated in years. But it was really, really interesting. I want to watch that. And you know what I also find really interesting?

I could talk about Sex and the City. I could do a whole podcast, like series about. Same. I find really interesting that, as far as I know, none of the cast ever dated. Which is uncommon for such a popular show. What do you mean? Oh! Like big numbers. charlotte in

real life got it i know i don't think so either steve never dated miranda you know well miranda's lesbian but you know what i mean but no i will say though like having worked with the younger cast i feel like darren star he's the head of the ship and everything like i think that his his shows and his casts are amazing can we talk about the younger finale it already happened yes we can can we I'm so confused because younger it did air on Paramount Plus but like now it's also airing like no it aired it I watched it I finished the finale everyone it's over okay so if you didn't get okay great yeah it's over we can talk about it what the fuck I know so it's not even let me tell you something it's not even about

like did i want charles for her verse did i want josh but who did you want honestly i thought liza was so goddamn annoying i didn't give a shit who she ended up with because whoever ended up with her was going to be miserable and i honestly felt bad for them that's the truth so i didn't care i wasn't on obviously i i leaned more towards charles obviously i lean more towards josh but only because the show literally was about charles and liza i literally forgot that he had dated she had dated josh he was so irrelevant so just to throw him in in the last 20 seconds of the show there was no fluidity there was no storyline that is not a thing it was always there no here's the thing there's team josh and there's team charles period end of story and the team charles people i understand why you would see that but as a team josh or i was watching the charles like when it's gonna end when's it

gonna end how could you not be team charles because again you're making it about yourself. Of course. Yes. Narcissism rearing its ugly head. I guess that's understandable for you. But no, normal people love Charles. I know. I know. I know. He's so hot.

He is so hot. Did you see that there was like a du moi blind that like this really, really famous TV couple is going to be announcing a divorce soon? No. And like a lot of people were guessing because they're both on TV that it was him and Mariska, but nothing ever happened.

I don't remember hearing like a follow-up. That was like a month ago. I just, and then I saw them at the Nick game and they were like very happily in love. So I just want to put it out there, like protect them at all costs. Protect them at all costs. Them and their family.

Yeah, no, no, no. I don't think it's them. Me neither. Like when the last time we were recording, the last couple of times we recorded, he was in Hawaii Like to get Like on a family trip And he seemed quite chipper

And quite happy Oh and Mariska was there Yes Oh my god I'm so jealous of that job That you got with It was so great But it's over now

And it's over now right Yeah Do you keep in touch Do you have any of their phone numbers You know what I always like respect Because like when you work With like a company

Like a Viacom Like there are so So much chain of command And so the cast Is so fucking cool And so so nice chain of command and so the cast is so fucking cool and so so nice to me and I of course want to have them like on my podcast and stuff yeah or like come over to my house or like that too yeah and they've always like I think that now that the show's over and like I'm not going to step on PR's toes I'm going to start like reaching

out to them and having them come on you should they're amazing Nico's actually fucking great yeah Nico now lives in Jersey City and so I think like the last time we spoke Nico was like let's get together so I'm good yes I'm going to continue relationships with them that's a really hard part of our job and I think it's one that probably I could use the most help in is like Ben is amazing at networking so good he can meet someone and will literally be invited on a vacation with them the next day. I know. I am so awkward. Same.

And it's such an integral part of our job in terms of like booking guests and just like knowing what's going on. And I'm so bad at it. And it's something I'm like consciously trying to work on, but it just feels so thirsty. I just thought this yesterday because I was thinking like I had Brian Kelly finally on Taste of Taylor. And I was, like, so not nervous to ask.

But, like, it just, it was, like, it was something that I had thought about. And I was, like, I don't want to bug him. Like, you were delayed. It's, like, so weird. I don't know what the issue is. No, it's something I deal with, too. And it's, like, honestly, like, if I was more, if I was more like Ben, I would have my own daytime show. Like, Ben is the best fucking networker of all time.

And I'm so grateful for it. He's so great. All right, fourth story. Kanye West is not going to rap about Kim Kardashian on his new album. Okay. So his new album is called Donda. It will likely be about a lot of things. Sorry.

Donda will likely be a lot of things to Kanye West fans, but a diss album about Kim Kardashian is not one of them. Good. After a report claimed that Kanye West compares his marital home a diss album about Kim Kardashian is not one of them. After a report claimed that Kanye West compares his marital home with ex-wife Kim Kardashian to a prison on his new record,

rapping that he, quote, escaped from Calabasas, Page Six can exclusively reveal that that is not true. Oh. Multiple sources confirmed to Page Six that West doesn't rap anything negative

about his estranged wife on the new album and certainly doesn't compare himself to being a prisoner or rap about her taking everything. He held a listening party in Las Vegas Sunday for some of his new songs. And an insider told Page Six, Kanye actually played the song for Kim personally before

the listening party. It's emotional and personal, not negative at all. In fact, West and Kardashian are co-parenting their four children amicably and even took a family trip to San Francisco over the weekend. And the album is named Donda after his late mother, who died in 2007 from complications following cosmetic surgery, and she was only 58. So at this party, which was fabulous,

they say web personality Justin LaVoy was there. I don't know who that is, but basketball star Kevin Durant. It was like a fabulous event. And honestly, I wish that the media would stop trying to come between like two people co-parenting in a very healthy way. I agree. I think that, in my opinion, I think that they got a divorce just because kind of what Kim said when she was like, he deserves to be with somebody who can follow him around. I'm not that person. No, and they were living separate lives.

Exactly. I just think that, yeah, of course there's like hurt there and they've probably had like rip-roaring fights. But ultimately, I think we're in a really good time now where parents like yeah we get a divorce but the goal is to co-parent these kids properly so even if we have other significant others I mean divorce 10 15 20 years ago was always so contentious atrocious and now I feel like it's actually I'm like proud of us divorce people yes well you know what also and everyone's situation is different but even if it was like a bad divorce, I don't think Kanye would ever disrespect him, especially in a public way because she's the mother of his children.

And Kanye is so, that's exactly what I was going to say. Kanye is so fond of his mother. He has Donda House, which is like a charity. The album is named after Donda. She was such an influential part of his life. I don't think you can be that type of person who has so much respect for their own mother and then disrespect the mother of your children, even if you are going through like a not great situation. So I don't think I will believe until I hear a lyric that says, fuck Kim. I will not believe that Kanye

has anything bad to say about Kim because they have four kids and they're both such family oriented people. I mean, we know the Kardashians are, and we know Kanye is. Well, also the, the Kardashians are a by-product of a divorced family. Like, you know, their mom cheated on their father and look at how they've all lived cohesively since, I mean, and don't even get me started on Caitlyn Jenner. I mean, there's so many lives of Caitlyn Jenner. Oh my God. So, if you made a chart of who people, who Caitlyn Jenner oh my god so you know you made a chart yes of who people who Caitlyn Jenner was married to and you started to connect all the dots of other famous people in Hollywood who because you know Caitlyn was married to Linda who's uh Bruce who's Brody's Brody's mom Linda

yes Linda Thompson I think her name yes. Yes. Was married to David Foster. David Foster was married to Yolanda. Yolanda was married to Muhammad. Like, you could connect all of Hollywood. How many half siblings do they all have? The Hadids, Kardashians, and the Fosters are all very loosely related. And honestly, who wouldn't want to be in those families? No, I know.

Good God. I would literally be like the big fat cousin. Oh no, big fat Claudia's coming. Gotta restock the pantry. I don't know. I just feel like modern family kind of was like a buzz term for a while. But like, I think it's being actualized now. I think it's real.

I don't think it's bullshit. Me too. Except that like the Fosters and the Hadids are no longer related. Because David and Yolanda are divorced. So I do think they were like a blended family and like getting along while they were married but then it's like

they're divorced. I'm not related to this person. Why do I need to hang out with them? Yeah, unless you're super close with somebody. My ex-step-sister. Yeah, which I don't think that they were.

No. All right, fifth and final story is a little space news because there's a lot of rich people going to space and I would love to hear your take on it. And the rich people

going to space news is brought to you by Olive and Juneune you guys know you cannot possibly do your nails yourselves i have tried it they always look turnt crusty as hell yeah salon manicures are also really expensive and they always chip so it's like you're left in this like shitty little place and that's why that's where the olive and june manicure system comes in because now you know diy manicures that look salon perfect and last over seven days are possible and And everyone's

They're organic. They're stunning colors. But the Manny system comes with everything you need for an at-home manicure. So like cuticle oil, a buffer, a file, like everything you would like not even think of to get. And that really makes a difference in how long the polish lasts on your fingers.

Just probably like light pink. Light pink, yeah. Alright. Jeff Bezos and his Blue Origin crew complete a successful space flight. This was this

morning. He rode his own rocket. Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos streaked into space Tuesday on a thrilling 10-minute up-and-down flight, a high-tech joyride that sets the stage for the start of commercial passenger service later this year. Competing head-to-head with fellow billionaire richard branson who flew into space aboard his virgin galactic rocket plane on july 11th bezos blasted off with his brother mark and two history

making passengers 82 year old 82 year old aviation pioneer wally funk the oldest person to fly to space and oliver damon an 18 year old dutch student who was the youngest to ever fly into space okay and the oldest person wally funk was barred from NASA initially because it was an all-male astronaut corp in the 1960s but Jeff Bezos finally gave her a chance to prove the naysayers wrong well he's a woman well yeah I was confused as well um and she got to realize a lifelong dream so they lifted off from their West Texas launch site at 9.12 a.m. this morning, climbed straight up 110,000 pounds of push. The rocket rapidly accelerated as it consumed its load of super cold liquid oxygen and hydrogen propellants, pushing the passengers back in their recliner seats about three times

the normal force of gravity. So it was successful. Nobody, you know, nothing went wrong. And he made history with two other people people but he was the second billionaire not the first and if you're not first you're last exactly uh he's just first loser wait a second yeah are they still there no it was 10 minutes but there was a petition dumbest thing in the world there was a petition on change.org that 165,000 people signed to make Jeff Bezos stay in space. Listen, Jeff, how do you say, wait, sorry to interrupt you, which I've been doing the whole time. No. Don't they say if a change.org petition gets over 100,000 signatures, the White House

has to respond? That's ridiculous. I think that's like the policy. Can you imagine if the White House calls and they're like, Jeff, you gotta stay in space? Everybody hates you. So how much do we think that cost oh so like millions and millions of dollars but what jackie jackie's a smart one here so don't ask me questions like because i don't know the

answer but i do believe she said i know when i do the news on my show people ask questions i'm like you know the rules like don't ask me questions refer to the article basically i think what jackie said was like, this is gearing up so that like random rich people can pay like $250,000 a seat to go to space. I believe that's what she had said. So here's the thing. So let's say it costs 10 million. Let's just say.

I think that's fair. I just feel like there's so many things going on in our world that that money could better suit. I said the same thing when when we were talking about richard branson and i it's just like and these guys are so insane like what is it bezos who's on track to be a trillionaire in like the next year i think it's i think it was him see that's just so much that's money you can't even spend 50 lifetimes just got out of a pandemic like people are like really in a bad spot like Like taxpayers, like we're, you know, we have to, but like our tax wouldn't go up.

And I, listen, I am not smart enough to have this conversation. I'm regurgitating probably something my dad said, but it's like, I hear that the rich people like at that level, they like figure out a way to never pay taxes. So it's like, at the very least, take what you would have been charged in taxes give it to the government and let them disperse it for important things yeah like i think he's such a selfish shit when you compare like mackenzie bezos who's also because she got half of his when yeah when he was like amen 36 billionaire i think she got or no maybe she got 36 billion dollars yeah she since then has given away over half of her wealth because it's so much money

like what are you gonna do with it much money so when you compare what his ex-wife did versus what he's like doing like taking joy rides into space it's just like a little he sucks come on jeffrey you can do it pave the way put your back into it come on now did you have you ever seen i actually don't i haven't even seen the bo burnham i want to sing it with you do you know what i'm talking about i don't okay so it's actually all over tiktok and that's how i know but you know the bo burnham comedy special that's going viral inside by bo burnham i don't i tried to watch it when i was in the hamptons with a bunch of people and everyone was fucking talking and it was just like disrespecting the comedy but it's like this musical he put together during the pandemic in his house where

he's like singing funny songs i guess i haven't seen it i don't really know what it's about but there's one about jeffrey bezos that's gone completely viral on tiktok and it's so funny ceo entrepreneur born in 1964 jeffrey jeffrey bezos and it's literally been stuck in my head all fucking morning um so sorry that's what i was singing it's about just like jeffrey bezos have you seen it is it about him being yeah the whole song's about jeff Jeffrey Bezos. Have you seen it? Is it about him being? Yeah. The whole song's about Jeffrey Bezos, yeah. But there's other songs in the comedy special are about like other things.

He just got nominated for an Emmy, I think. Is it about Jeff Bezos being the worst? Yeah, it's just like come on Jeffrey, you can do it, pave the way,

put your back into it, something like that. He could like turn around so many generations in this country with a snap of a finger. With a press of a button from his bank account.

You know, and it's just like you're going to go to space and try and like, know make change up there like why don't you just do it down here because he's ready to bail ski yeah I just like I'm going down with earth I just want to say I'm like so jealous of how much money he has I mean I but what a burden for real in a way it's a burden I would welcome for sure you know what fuck what I just said. I hate myself. Scratch that. No. I would do such good things. I pay off every student loan in the country.

Number one. Yep. Because that is just ruining America. Yep. And then also like I do believe there are a lot of really, really good organizations. So like giving money to organizations is so great. Yes. Of course. But there's something more valuable in

just like knocking on people's doors and paying their bills like you know yes yes that's what i would do i just like take my jet around crippling the entire economy yes yes so that's student loan debt is a great place to start yes and then i don't know work something out with the colleges fucking fuck fuck you universities fuck you colleges no i know you know did you watch a college admission scandal on yes the dramatized yes yes i thought they actually did a really good job because of course we know from the college admission scandal like rich people cutting the line but what i really took away is like kind of how corrupt corrupt the college system is like especially like stanford they literally it's a racketeering it's the first time in american

history where a racketeering scandal has benefited a billion dollar institution they made seven hundred thousand dollars that they claim to have given away exactly it's I mean I guess screw the rich people who are paying their kids way in but like what about the the university that got charged yeah we knew that yes it's so that was I actually thought the documentary was well done in that sense because it gave you like a new perspective like all right we know like we hate celebrities and rich people like that's not a unique message for a documentary but I actually thought that was a really well done documentary what was it called Varsity Blues or whatever yep um well those were the past five stories and I definitely feel as though they were well-rounded I think so too yeah are you gonna go

to space? No, I'm going to stay here. If there was like someone who was like, I want to pay the $250,000 for you to go to space. Wait, it's a 10 minute journey. Are we escaping earth? Because it's like,

it's like, this is like a new thing now. It's going to become more popular. Recreational space travel. Girl, I don't even have to go to Tahiti. Okay. Yeah.

Or Hawaii for that matter. I don't like to fly far. So I certainly don't need to go to space it's only 11 minutes though like the whole journey it's stupid it's it's like the point it's like going to the leaning tower of Pisa it's it's it's a tourist attraction yeah for sure have you ever been to the leaning tower no and I don't need to me neither I heard it's falling like why would I go see a broken monument I'd rather go see something like that's all the monuments like the Colosseum why do I want to see a smelly old half of a building?

I'd rather go get drunk with you at lunch. No, of course, at a restaurant that's fully built, you know? Exactly. So thank you so much for being here. I love it. You are a gem and a half. If you guys want to hear more from Taylor, her podcast, Taste of Taylor, is available everywhere.
