Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast, and happy Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend. Because she hasn't even spoken one word about it, which is so weird. Your birthday's tomorrow. tomorrow tomorrow i love you tomorrow you're only a day sorry i don't want to turn off that many people like we're one minute in this is triggering can i tell you that that was actually pretty good do you think i have a shot at any live well i don't know the bar is low so it's possible thank you that was really good thank you so much Claudia I've been working on my craft thank you I know tomorrow is the big day it's really like not to be one of those girls it's like I'm not about birthdays because you guys know that I am

and if you didn't get me a gift like don't even look me in the eye but it's just like an anticlimactic birthday I'm turning 29 so it's neither here nor there. Thank God it's not 30, Jax. And I have more going on in my life, like more important tings than birthday tings. Yeah. So I'm just sort of enjoying it. You know, it's going to be extremely low key, but I do still expect the same caliber of present that you would do for any birthday. Of course.

So that's where I'm at. I'm excited to, you know know celebrate with my loved ones you know you know what like birthdays can be like depressing and I feel like okay you're turning 29 you're pregnant you're married you have a successful business like there's really nothing depressing about it no I'm feeling extremely at peace I feel like I'm I'm where I'm meant to be and I'm looking forward to the future I I am not one of those people that's like getting older, turning 28 again. You know? Are you talking to me?

You do bring that energy sometimes, but I know that. I just can't believe like so much time has passed, like since I was just 21, you know? Yeah. But I know that that's not who you are. And also like you too are married, have a successful business. You're only a mere 27? Yeah. But now it's like you're getting into the birthdays where it's like, oh, you don't have a child yet.

That's like the only thing that gives me a pit. But I just don't want to. I mean, maybe, but like nobody actually says that. And in this day and age, like women are having children later and later. And I actually feel like there's more judgment now if you have a child when you're young versus when you're old. Yes. No, there's not more judgment

like I feel like there's more like even like judgment for you getting married so young oh yeah if you got married at what 23 yes I feel like there's more judgment for you getting married at 23 than there would have been if you got married at 33 yeah no I think so too I get like so much hate I'm like fuck off I feel like back then you did because but now obviously you know you guys are proving the pudding but when I tell people like their eyes like they really are like like you were sold into a cult and you were a child bride at 23 which is crazy no and you know what I actually was just listening on on my tiktok it came up JC Marie Smith did a podcast she got married really really young and she was like I would not recommend it. She's like, I'm lucky.

And you know what? The way that she described it was exactly how I feel. I'm like, honestly, I don't think it's good to get married so young unless it's me and Ben. Like, you know, you really are like so immature. And like, you're such a different person. And there's a possibility that like. You outgrow each other. Right.

Or you just quickly. When you grow up, you end up someone that your partner doesn't like or your partner ends up someone that you don't like. And so I actually think she did a real I forget what podcast it was. She did a really good segment on her podcast. No, I feel like she was a guest on like a Dear Media podcast. OK. And I just think that like she was 100 percent right. Like, thank God things turned out the way that they did. But like they really could have turned out the other way. Right. But maybe that's why you got married at 23. Like you you knew that no matter who you turn into and Ben turns into, like, you guys are simpatico.

There's no way to know that. There's literally no way to know that. There is a way. We all knew it. No, but like, when you and Ben were getting married, like, no one was like, ooh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know? Yes.

But I just, you know, the people that judge, they're not always wrong. Yeah. No. There is. Yes. But I'm saying. You heard what I said. I said we're good yeah we're good everything's good listen just focus on yourself yeah you know you don't need to be looking to the left or to the right as long as you're doing what you want to be doing yeah no I'm pretty like happy in my life yeah so then and are you coming up on this 29th birthday I am I really I really. I really am. I'm looking forward.

I'm looking forward to what's next. And that's why I'm just cruising into. Your last birthday like by yourself. Yeah. But then my next one is 30. So I'll do something like really big. And we'll make up for the low keyness of this one. You know like maybe like girls trip.

Like something crazy. I'll plan it. Okay cool. I still want to have kids by then probably. So that's exciting and then I think I'm gonna get myself a little gift and by little I mean enormous enormous I have a bag in mind uh but I think I should you know peruse I like to get myself a birthday gift just as you know it's an excuse to get myself something that I've been wanting ensuring that like all the gifts

you get this year there's at least one you like yeah yeah but you know there's always credits store credit did you see that Chanel hiked up their prices like they do every year but like I think I was seeing a lot of people talking about it on TikTok it was like a pretty they do it like with inflation and stuff like but this one like like the starting price for bags is like insane I didn't see this particular one but but that makes sense. It's a sign of the times. I mean, and also they have nerve with some of the shit they've come out with recently. No, we're all shopping secondhand these days. Yeah, no, but also it's like, then the looks have to be there. A hundred percent.

You want to charge a premium, the looks have got to be there. And you think that they haven't? I, the last few times I've been in the store, like it's not been great. And they also don't have anything on the shelves they have no inventory like everything is still backed up because of COVID and they like barely even make anything well because their bags are becoming literally unaffordable I mean they were never affordable but no but it's just like the whole fashion supply chain is just out of whack you know what I walked past some of the big department

stores today they've sealed their windows They're getting ready for a holiday. They obviously heard yesterday's episode. Which is so exciting. Like, you know what? I was once again watching the Today Show today. Not as good of an episode. But the commercials on TV are all holiday. So people are getting shit for having their Christmas trees up.

Just watch TV. Every single commercial. Yesterday, Starbucks launched their Christmas drinks. It's officially holiday season. So stop fighting it and just, you know, feel. Just watch TV, every single commercial. Yesterday, Starbucks launched their Christmas drinks. It's officially holiday season, so stop fighting it and just, you know, feel, deck the halls. Deck the halls.

Get with it, fam. Get with it. Now, are those Reese's or Faze's? These are Yeezy's. Real ones? Real Yeezy's, yes. Good for you.

Thank you. I have one pair of Reese's and they're extremely comfortable, durable, and they match my outfit. They're really cute. Thanks. It's such a Friday outfit.

I know. Like, let's just talk about the fact. I know. That it's Friday. It's the Friday of your birthday weekend. We made it through a full week. We haven't been in studio together for a full week in a long time. I'm partially responsible for that.

Actually, fully responsible. Yeah, no, I'm like, I've been here every day. I bear no responsibility. I've been here every day. So, yeah, I hope everyone, I'm just ready to, like, go out with a bang. Yeah, I'm excited for some alarm-free living. I've been here every day. I bear no responsibility. I've been here every day. So yeah, I hope everyone, I'm just ready to like go out with a bang. Yeah, I'm excited for some alarm free living. I've been sleeping so well this week. Me too.

And the alarm has just been coming from my neck. You know you're sleeping really good. And I'm just hoping that my good sleeps carry into tomorrow because it's like on the weekends I sleep like trash. So I'm just hoping, whatever I've been doing, I'm going to follow the same routine and just hope that it carries me into the weekend. You know you're sleeping good when your alarm clock doesn't wake you up. It becomes the soundtrack of your dream.

Yeah. No, but like I've just it's been uninterrupted. I finally like figured out how I should be sleeping like in pregnancy, like pillows tucked in under me. That's going to like support my back more. And so I'm just like in this cocoon and I just need it to carry over to alarm free living. That's all I need. Yeah, that's the thing.

It's like by the time Friday rolls around, your body's like kind of used to waking up at like eight so then by Saturday your body's like wait I thought we were waking up by eight I'm like body shut the fuck up and go back to sleep yeah you know nothing how do you not know how this works 29 years on it's five and two five and two well for us sometimes four and three you know maybe your body's not used to our hectic schedule it is quite hectic also this weekend is daylight saving so yeah make sure to set your clocks back so we get a 25 hour birthday yes i do that's crazy and we get an extra hour of sleep this weekend but we're entering the dark ages i know so but you know what like i literally never leave my house so like it doesn't matter also

update i am seeing an apartment today the one that you sent me i know you don't like love it and honestly it doesn't solve the problem of the bunker like because it still like doesn't have great views no but it's a great apartment and a great location so I'm gonna go look at it yeah I was actually after you sent me that I went to do my some of my own research due diligence and it's just like what you're looking for doesn't exist doesn't exist and if does, you sure can't afford it. No, I know. And I don't know what to tell you. I'm not giving up hope.

It just makes your apartment look better and better. No, you know what? Everything in my apartment now, like now that I've like given up, everything's broken. I know you told us that. And everything's set. I don't want to. Fix it. I just, I really want to move.

Like I really, really do. I just, I'm worried. I. Like, I really, really do. I just, I'm worried. I'm worried about what I'm seeing. I ran my own street easy searches, and it was bleak. Very. Yeah. Maybe you should just move in with me. Sure, I would love that.

Brew and do. We'll wife swap, but, like, we'll send the husbands to my house. Oh, my God, that's so funny. Brew and do could be roomies. Oh, my God, broomies. Too cute. And you know what else we have to acknowledge is based on where we are coming on

our final show of the week with still very good stories. It has been almost five days. It's been a strong week. Of decent and above average stories. We've got a lot to discuss today. The Wicked movie. There's stuff going on.

And I just want to say thank you, universe. We are grateful yeah and now I do feel like this time of year is a strong time of year you know the summer lags and everything and like everything was lagging for two years so I just feel like we're in a strong place I feel really good about it and I feel good about jumping right in I do as do I so without further ado it is time for the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Our first story, you guys, Kimye stands. Listen up. Kanye West says he still wants to be with, quote, my wife, Kim Kardashian. So Kanye went on

Revolt TV's Drink Champs. The episode just dropped in a new interview. He's talking about the divorce, everything. He says he still, quote, wants to be with estranged wife Kim despite their ongoing divorce proceedings. In the new interview, he blasted SNL for its portrayal of their breakup and admitted he wants to reconcile. He said, quote, SNL making my wife say I divorced him on TV because they just wanted to get that bar off. I never even seen the papers.

We're not even divorced. I just want to say I don't think SNL made Kim say anything. I think everything she said, she stood behind. I'm sorry. Like, just want that to go on the record. I know she was, like, involved in writing her monologue with all these different comedians. So I don't think anyone was forced to say anything.

But continue. He said, they ain't no joke to me. My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together. He also blamed the media and Kim's own team for promoting the idea of divorce and getting into the reality star's ear with ideas of new TV shows. He said, there's this publicist that's nice to her. I don't fuck with her.

I don't want, I do not want over our house. And I don't fuck with some of them nannies either. Oh my God. Do you think he's talking about Tracy Romulus? I don't't think so she's been a friend of the family for so long no because that's not a publicist that's nice to her that's like Kim's closest right and publicist yes but I think Kim has many publicists of course you know you got to look at it from all angles I mean this is like sad because I've already gotten used to the idea of like them not being together and like her dating but you know it wouldn't it wouldn't be a terrible end to this story if like she got to date a little

bit and then they eventually got back together. Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. Like I would love to see them get back together. But I'm also loving single Kim. And like we know that he was with Irina. And I feel like for a long time in the marriage, you know, he wasn't where she needed him to be and be there for her. So like right now she gets to do Kimtings.

And then maybe once they both had their fill, they can come back back together but I love that he's not giving up on them um I do agree like SNL was just like so toxic no kidding I also think that while he may be saying this publicly it's very possible that like what went on between them is irreconcilable you know like it's easy to say this but Kim may be hearing this interview and being like what the fuck maybe but she's never portrayed that it's something irreconcilable like it's from and I'm sure there's more that we don't know but it really seemed like you know he moved to Wyoming like he wasn't there for her this isn't a marriage like she wants more from her life yeah and that's what she deserves right but that's not like irreconcilable

difference is something so crazy happened that they can't come back from no I think that like he losing his wife and his kids half the time like has made him realize like okay if that means that I spend less time in Wyoming like I will choose Kim over Wyoming and he is selling his house there I know it just feels like okay now Kanye has come to this realization but like for Kim like it could be too late like what about all this time I literally spent by myself with the kids like this like just because Kanye is now might have been woken up to like the fact that he wasn't being a good husband doesn't mean Kim is just gonna like jump back into it no and I don't think that she should because I think maybe you know she would always be like well what if so I think

she needs to enjoy this time but knowing that Kanye's there waiting for her I think must be feel really good and for the fans like I would love to see it I don't know I'm really just like in this headspace now where it's like okay they're done you're done you're done like I'm ready for a new chapter I am I think that they're gonna see the rest of the world and realize like there's just no one on their level except for the two of them. Well, that's true. It is very difficult to date like in your like social circle when your social circle

is like literally full of five people. That and also like they really are two of the smartest people, I think, at least the smartest people that like I follow and engage with and I think you know she can have all the fun she wants but like no one's gonna keep her on her toes like Kanye. No but I think the some of the keeping on the toes is what like was you know she wants to be on solid ground right now but you know she's a solid girl like she is she's very stable she like doesn't drink she doesn't really party she's like works family like her values are so clear and you know in Hollywood it's hard to find someone with those values someone who doesn't want to go out and thirst they just want to work sleep family

pray like I think that's going to be difficult for her to find I really do and so we wait and see but I think this is all good news I hope Kanye is doing okay though you know if he's like watching Kim it must be very challenging but like again I totally forgot he dated Irina like he's also participating in this unless it was separation unless it was business stop it's always it could be business stop what you don't know you never saw a picture of them kissing stop like seriously why what are they gonna why why does it hurt you if I want to think it was because what are they going into business on I never saw a product maybe she she's going to model for him. Maybe like a million things. She's in fashion. He's in fashion. Wouldn't we have seen the byproduct of their working relationship? No.

Kanye works years in advance on things. Got it. Okay. Because he's working on like these concepts that are decades off. Okay. Well I guess we'll have to wait a decade to see if they were actually dating or they were. But I don't know why you can't, like, why it offends you so to think that they might be in business together. Because we need to be realistic. We need to be realistic. We do. I think that that's not really that crazy. I don't think you would hang out, like, privately, like, so much with someone you're working with.

It's just not proper business-like conduct. We do. We're related. We are in business. We are sisters. We're always together because of the business. No, we're always together because we literally came out of the same vagina. No, but I don't see the other sisters as much.

Yeah, one of them lives in Florida and the other hates us. Satchler, come back. Satchler, please. We love you. We know you're so cool, but hang out with your sisters. We're cool too. By the way, we're so cool. We are.

I wouldn't argue that we're cooler than some of the people that Margo hangs out with. Why wouldn't she want to hang out with us? Like, we could give her clout. 100%. We have the biggest show in Massachusetts in 2017. Yeah. No, please, Counts. Come back to us.

Like, I'm a touring comedian. Tickets available at girlnotjob.com slash tour. We need counseling. Desperately. Are you ready for our next story? A little more family drama? Is it the Anna Faris of it all? Yeah.

This is so bizarre. Okay. Chris Pratt is getting slammed for praising his wife and their quote healthy child in a new Instagram post caption. I want to read the caption verbatim and then we'll explain

why it's weird. Where the alleged nefariousness comes in. Where the alleged nefarity. Is that a word? I don't think so. I think it should be. Like the nefariousness comes in where the alleged nefariousness comes in where the alleged nefariousness is that a word I don't think so I think it should be like the nefariousness the nefariousness okay he posted a picture of the two of them where she's uh him and his new wife Catherine Schwarzenegger where she's smiling looking at him and he said guys for real look how she's looking at me I mean find you somebody that looks like you looks at you like that you know we met in church. She's giving me an amazing life, a gorgeous, healthy daughter.

She chews so loudly that sometimes I put in my earbuds to drown it out, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Keyword here is gorgeous, healthy daughter because— So I want to say, when I first saw the post, I'm like, that is so sweet. Like, I thought nothing nefarious was going on. Yeah, no, it is a sweet post where he's just adoring his wife. But the anapharous stance and just, just you know fans in general are calling him out because his son with anna faris jack has suffered health issues over the years and anna faris has been like very public

about it yes so people think that this healthy daughter comment is a dig like that so yeah like it's a slight towards Anna Faris and their child together saying like Catherine gave me a healthy daughter whereas someone else perhaps did not so I want to say before we really dive in I don't think it's uncommon to phrase like you know what look at my lovely wife she gave me four beautiful healthy children I don't think that that's an uncommon thing to say just in general it's not not like he made this up. People do say that, right? Do you agree? Yes. Yes. Okay. So there's that, but there's also the elephant in the room, which is their other child who has experienced health issues. And it's really hard to like know that, see this and not think something nefarious is

going on. Like it's a dig. Okay. So I in looking inward. And really thinking about if Chris Pratt is capable of writing something so evil. And disgusting like that. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. I know. And say like I don't think the two things are related. I really don't. I can see.

I see how when you put them together. How it looks. How it looks. But I can't imagine that he is using this opportunity to take a dig at his ex-wife and his, he's still, Jack is as much his child as it is Anna's health. I really can't believe that someone could do that. I don't want to believe it. No.

And especially because like Chris Pratt, what we know of him, he's not a bad guy. Right. He's a nice guy. Right. He's like America's sweetheart. I wouldn't say America's sweetheart. I think there's been like rumors that he's like a little bit of a dick. him he's not a bad guy right he's a nice guy right he's like America's sweetheart like I wouldn't say America's sweetheart I think there's been like rumors that he's like a little bit of a dick but again not a crime and I don't think that means you're gonna publicly drag your kid for his health problems that are out of his control 100% I

I've gotta believe that this is just an awful coincidence and I can believe that it's an awful coincidence only because what I previously stated is that this is not an uncommon thing for a man to praise his wife for. Like, you know, if you're at your 50th anniversary with Zach and he's like, Jackie, this amazing woman gave me four beautiful, healthy children. I don't know why I keep saying four.

But, you know what I mean? It is a thing. People say it's not uncommon. This is not a phrase I've never heard. It wasn't like a random adjective he decided to throw in. Yeah. So I think that optics wise, he might have been able to see this coming. But not if he really had no bad intentions. Right. You know, he only would have seen it coming if he thought about it and then he wouldn't have posted it.

And as far as I know, the Chris Pratt, Anna Faris, Katherine Schwarzenegger like trio is like a decent co-parenting situation, is it not? I don't know. There's something nefarious going on there. 100%. But I'm not up on, on the trio,

like other people are. No, people are, like, obsessed with this crew, and I, and people are obsessed with Anna, like,

she's a podcaster, so she has, like, podcast energy behind her, and then, like, Catherine and Chris are just like so in love and yeah moved on it's like annoying but Anna also has a man's so I don't

know yeah whenever I think of Anna Faris I just my friend Abe when we were in college pointed out that if you swap the I in Anna Faris to a T it's Anna Farts and every time I say her name I almost say Anna Farts oh that's that's so funny i actually love anna faris like as an actress she is one of my top measure be one of my tops yet when i saw her on watch what happens live remember she did um i think she did one of the la live shows like a few years ago oh i don't remember that and it was just like it was not the vibe for me why what was the vibe it was just little, maybe she was just in a bad spot, but it was just all over the place. Speaking of Watch What Happens Live, yesterday I did catch up and I saw Ciara and Paige on

Watch What Happens Live. And Andy asked so many questions about Paige, about Craig to Paige. And she was so like, I just, she like stood by her man. Like in the, you know, he's like shady questions. Like who's a better kisser, Andrea, Andrea or craig and she was like craig is a better everything like she was just like really like defending her man to andy's like shady questions and she was handling it so well and like it was so cute like i ship so fucking hard oh my god that's amazing news yeah and they were both oh my god looking like this is a level of two gorgeous girls.

Like actually that makes me never want to leave my house again. Like you never saw two people so effortlessly stunning. Like it's actually unfair. A couple of snatchlers. Literally. Literally. Wow. Okay.

So I personally am going to give Chris Pratt the benefit of the doubt here. So am I. But I would love to hear in the comments what you guys think because people do not wish him the best I know I know people don't agree with me and I just when I went to read his Instagram caption I thought that maybe he might have changed it out but it's still there which I think goes to like if he took it out it would mean you know it's admitting like guilt I fucked up so I think just like leaving it like I said what I said I meant nothing more than what I said and moving on yeah I meant nothing more than what I said. And moving on.

Yeah, I don't know if you can talk about like meeting your wife in church in the same caption as like dissing your son's health issues. I just, I don't see it. The whole caption is just like a love letter to his wife. Like I don't think he threw a dig to his other, to his son in there. Yeah, I don't think so. I really can't, I can't believe it. Yeah, I don't think so. I really can't. I can't believe it. Like, you know, it's so unbelievable.

Yeah, it's unbelievable. Like, I just don't believe in that level of cruelty from... That it exists. Like, even in Hollywood. Like, I just can't wrap my head around it. No, that it exists just like on a regular Thursday night. Like, I just can't. I refuse.

they announced on Twitter like the Wicked movie in 2016 like it it's been like this long there's like a whole conspiracy theory about it if you want to look into it what's it what's giving the gist so like like that it's aka never coming like okay I know that people have been cast but like it's literally been years and years and years they announced like coming in 2017 never came but what's the conspiracy I don't know you'll have to look into it I'm not sure like is there is it a front no not a front but like just that it's never coming it's like this ethereal thing that's never gonna actually happen okay and now that we've been cast like I think we're inching towards that actually happening which I'm very grateful for and I actually don't think I could have chosen two

better people for each role I mean Glinda is so obviously Ariana Grande for a million reasons just because Ariana Grande is obsessed with and like really mentored by Kristen Chenoweth who was the original Glinda she's such a musical theater nerd a lot of people don't know she started her career in 13 on Broadway she's obsessed with show tunes she performed in that Wicked 10th anniversary special where she delivered one of the most gorgeous unbelievable stunning performances of The Wizard and I. So she was being Alphaba. I know and I do think her vocal range is more Alphaba but her personality wise and like physically she's so Glinda. I actually think that her vocal range is pretty Glinda because it's like ethereal. Yes but it's also belty she can hit every note

possible and that is alphaba yeah she could do both she could have gotten either part I think also do you remember like a million years ago she released a song with Micah do you remember that guy Micah popular popular yeah she has been obsessed with Wicked her whole life and so like to see someone realizing their dreams something they obviously manifested is so gorgeous and stunning and like you have no choice but to stand yeah I'm extremely here for this movie for this casting I think if it's done well like it could be you know Ari's Oscar moment oh my god so I'm very very excited and then let's talk about the Cynthia Erivo of it all who I think it's so weird because like what we know her for is acting

when she's literally in my opinion like one of know her for is acting when she's literally, in my opinion, like one of the greatest voices out there. And she's not really like career wise a singer. Like I know she's done theater, but that's not what we know her for. And so when she performed at the Oscars, it was just my jaw hit the floor. Yeah. And Elphaba and her songs and her range like requires the greatest singer requires like belly diaphragm belting like not everyone can do that Idina Menzel can't even do

it anymore because of her throat at the time like Idina Menzel was that girl was that girl so I think Cynthia Riva is going to knock it out of the park I think I'm so excited for their excitement for the project yeah and I just you know, everyone gets to work soon and we can see it soon because I don't like to wait long. No, me neither. And like people have literally been talking about, you know, hold on. If you go to the Wicked movie Twitter,

maybe they, I remember like two years ago on Twitter, they announced like when the movie was coming or something. And then the anniversary came up like a year ago and like we had never even heard about the Wicked movie. So people were like quote tweeting okay Wicked movie oh I think they they don't have it anymore so whatever this is just a new leaf maybe they got like new directions the new directions and um you know it's all starting anew let's give them from today on yeah for sure like I'm just overwhelmed by this casting.

It's giving me the way we felt about Annie Live and their stellar casting. This is that times 100. Yeah, I agree. Are you ready for the next musical event of the actual Tis the Season? Annie? Kelly Clarkson announces a Christmas special featuring Ariana Grande, Queen once again, Leslie Odom Jr., and more. So Kelly Clarkson will be hosting Kelly Clarkson Presents

When Christmas Comes Around, Holiday Spectacular next month. The special will feature special guests including Brett Eldridge, Ariana Grande, Jay Leno. By the way, I watched the Kelly Clarkson show yesterday or two days ago because it was on. I'm like, you know what, I've never actually watched his show. I was watching it, and I guess Kelly's on vacation and Jay Leno was filling in for her.

I think Jay Leno's like a big Kelly Clarkson girl. I mean, how could he not be? Yep. Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Odom Jr., Amy Poehler and Santa Claus, of course. Of course. There will probably be duets and also, you know, people checking in.

It's giving me a very Casey Christmas. Yeah. Which was perfection served up on a platter. So I'm so excited for this. It will be on NBC on December 1st. And then two days later is Annie Live. Oh, I thought you were going to say it's on Peacock. Like something actually helpful.

No, it will be on NBC. I'm sure eventually it'll be on Peacock. But I just love. You know your girl will be watching live. How Kelly has really, in a really organic, really organic cool authentic way like branded herself as like one of the many pillars in this in Hollywood like of Christmas. I think Mariah Carey is doing it in a very like obvious and borderline annoying way. Like every you know her brand for the last three years has been like I'm the Christmas

girl. But it's like she became the Christmas girl. When did that song come out? Like 20 years ago say. And it's only like three years ago her team realized. That she should lead into it. Wait, we own Christmas. Right.

So now it's like become a parody of itself. And it's like a little stupid. She's unfreezing. Yeah, she's breaking the pumpkin this year. Like yada yada. So now it's like. But Kelly's coming in an organic way. Right.

As just like a Christmas file. Right. A holiday file. A holiday file. And she's bringing in her friends and her co-workers and they're just gonna celebrate and she's so great because she really bridges so many genres like she is a pop star but she has such deep roots in Nashville you know she was married to Reba's stepson forever and so she's just like very much in

has a foot in both worlds and she could bring a Brett Eldridge and she could pull an Ariana Grande and like that's why we stan a queen who is so universal. We really really do. I mean it's not a week at the morning toast if we're not showing Kelly some love. No. We had been quiet this week previously. And I meant to tell you that I watched a Kelly Clarkson show actually. Lea Michele was on and Emily Osment um separately but they like sat on the couch together to discuss their various projects. Kelly likes to bring people together. Yeah and then Lea Michele performed like a really weird stripped down version of Sweet Child of mine, like a cover. I just feel like when you go on a daytime show

and you perform, like you're promoting a new song or something. Like it was a weird performance. And I'm not gonna lie, I sensed a brokenness in Lea Michele. I think like she's fallen so far in this last year. And when she was like sitting, like talking to Emily Osmond and Jay Leno, I just felt I'm like she does not want to be here like I just could sense

there was something in her that was no longer there you know interesting and now that I think about it when I was reading the Wicked casting I was like I don't know who I had in mind or who I would have even cast but now like oh check it out totally that's also what happened when Funny Girl got cast I think that like honestly her cancellation couldn't have come at a worse time for her professionally with these two projects floating around like i'm sure her name was thrown into the conversations it had to have been for me for um fanny price and it had to have been for wicked well i think for wicked it's less glaring because like these like cynthia and ari are amazing choices period um it's less glaring yes

100 but for funny girl and I know like okay so she had this cancellation of bullying and like that she can't read and um but like at the end of the day it should be about the talent like especially for Broadway like yeah Michelle would be the best Fanny Bryce like she should be I agree actually and I don't know Beanie's Broadway abilities I'm sure they're huge because she's friends with Ben Platt and I'm sure she'll be great but I agree and like we also need to get a little perspective on the whole Lea Michele thing because like people just love to hate her when her crimes were white when she was on Glee she was like a bitch because she got really famous and she was nasty to everyone on set

which no one should be and I'm not excusing that but like what her whole life should be ruined because of it like let's get some perspective she didn't run anyone over with her car like so I agree with the Fanny Bryce thing and I don't think I don't think even if it weren't for the cancellation would she have gotten Alphaba her name was definitely thrown around especially because like when I think of a young Idina Menzel I think of Lea Michele because of Glee Idina Menzel actually played Lea's mom like yeah so it is like obvious to me me in that sense but I think that's just because i'm a diehard glee yeah no and i think cynthia arrivo being in it with ari brings it to a whole other level agreed as opposed to if it was like leah michelle and ari yeah that gives it like a made for tv ryan

murphy thing like teeny boppers yeah like. Cynthia Erivo like really elevates this shit. Yeah. In a theatrical broad way. Like it brings all the credibility. Mm-hmm. So. I'm cool with it. Yeah. But I am thinking of Leah. No.

Me too. I'm really thinking of her during this difficult time. Because now she's out here promoting. Like the original cast of Spring Awakening is doing a. Not a revival. A reunion. Like on. Like.

Like. It's like an event. A one night thing. Like. And that's what she's out here promoting when, like, she could have all these other projects, like, you know? Yeah.

It is weird. Yeah. Hmm. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Not yet. But we will be. It's the final story!

Siesta Key's Chloe Troutman is engaged to boyfriend Chris Long and she's showing off her ring, which is quite unusual and quite stunning. Yeah, it's really pretty, but I was also really shocked because I haven't really been keeping up with the Siesta Key crew. And last I knew, she was dating that guy from Denver who's brunette. And then she's engaged. And now this guy's blonde.

How long have they been together? I'm not sure. But she announced on Thursday the couple got engaged at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. While sharing photos from the romantic moment, she revealed how he proposed. She said, yesterday I said yes to my soulmate in fairyland. Chris took us on an 8.2 mile loop trail that was the hardest torture i've ever done in my life mentally and physically the emotional release after finishing this hike was indescribable as i was standing at the overlook

reflecting over over all the emotions i felt throughout this hike i heard chris say my name and i turned around and there he was down on one knee. Okay. That's like, that's a journey, but it's actually like really beautiful. Yeah. But imagine like feeling all of those feelings of accomplishing a hike. Literally. I know not for you. Not for you. This is a rough way.

And then you're all sweaty. Like not my ideal engagement, honestly. No, no, no. And I wouldn't suggest it for you. I wouldn't tell Ben to get any ideas. Please, thank you. But I'm just saying like that must be a very much like an emotional experience. Rollerco no, no. And I wouldn't suggest it for you. I wouldn't tell Ben to get any ideas, but I'm just saying like, that must be a very much like an emotional experience. Like you accomplish this personal milestone and then you turn around and like, there's another milestone waiting for you and it's all very exciting. So this is really sweet. Um, she keeps her

relationships pretty close to the best. Yeah. Even even on the show she's never like really in a relationship we've never seen any of her boyfriends really but they became instagram official in may and now it's so they were probably dating before that yeah they've probably been dating like about a year or a little bit less cute i'm happy for her she's such a nice girl and really wishing her the best this is her moment yeah i'm happy for her too i really wishing her the best. This is her moment. Yeah, I'm happy for her too. I really love her ring. It's very Kate Middleton, but with green. That's an emerald, right? I think so.

I don't know my stones. Me neither. I do not. Well, no, Kate Middleton has an emerald. No, blue sapphire. Oh, yeah. Green is emerald, right? That would make sense.

The Emerald City is green, yeah, and wicked. That would make sense. Ruby is red. I don't know if it's that straightforward. It's very confusing. No, I think it is. Stone tings are very confusing. Stone tings. And I'm glad to see like a little good news in a national park. You love to see it. Yes, it's been such a bad year for national parks and that's that on that. Yeah.
