Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone's having an amazing, bright, beautiful, stunning, and smart day so far. So far. That's all you can ask for. So far. That's all you can ask for, especially like when all you've done is like put your makeup on. Like hopefully the day is beautiful, stunning, and smart, and so are you. No, I weirdly my mornings are so busy now. With Bruce, they were already becoming busy because we go for a walk and it's just like, we're just walking around the neighborhood. But with my smoothie making endeavor, it's just on another level.

And I made my smoothie today. I actually brought my smoothie today. One, because I was in such a rush and I didn't get to have my breakfast portion. Two, because it's finally a pretty color that I'm proud of. I'm not like drinking black slop. Yeah.

And three, um, I, okay. So I just got a funnel to pour my my pitcher into these bottles and I literally have almost double the amount of smoothie to drink so I was missing out on so much smoothie because it was all like coming out over the sides you learn something new every day on a juice cleanse right so if you are doing the cleanse definitely get a funnel if you're using like these glass bottles because I was wasting so much smoothie. It's devastating. Okay. The support is lackluster. Okay. What do you want me to do? Like cheer for the funnel? I'm so excited for you. Your whites of your eyes look blinding. No, they look the same still. No, they look a little less

gray, like more poppy. I guess. I feel like I'm feeling good. I'm really feeling, I'm really glad that I'm doing this. I'm really excited to be done with it, obviously. Of course. But it's not torture along the way. It's really not. So if you are on the fence, I'm telling you to go for it. Do you? I've inspired someone else to do it too.

Okay. Well, that's kind of why I'm annoyed at you and your fucking juice cleanse. Because you know what? You want to torture yourself with a juice cleanse, fine. Don't bring that shit into my home. Because you know what? Jackie's trying to convince your fucking juice cleanse. Because you know what? You want to torture yourself with a juice cleanse? Fine. Don't bring that shit into my home. Because you know what? Jackie's trying to convince Ben to do it. And you know what's going to happen?

I'm not trying. He, actually, I did suggest that he would like it. He would like it. So Ben is going to spend all this money on like fruits, vegetables, blender, this book that you made him get. And you know what? If Ben was like actually going to follow through with it, of course I would be supportive. But Ben is the king of starting things and not finishing them. So I could just know I'm going to, or he'll do it. And

like, I'm going to have to clean up all the celery off the floor and like the apple skin on the counter. And it's like, then it becomes my job. And it's like, if you guys want to torture yourselves, so be it. But like, I don't want jobs. And Ben going on a juice cleanse gives me multiple jobs. First, hearing about it, which I already have to hear about it from you. Second, the cleanup, the cleanup. Third, Ben, like he's just like going to talk about it nonstop. Like, you know what? That is why I'm not supportive of the juice cleanse anymore, because you brought it into my home. Wow. Wow. Okay. I mean, I'm sorry, but I actually think that he would really like it. Of course. And Jackie said that Ben said he's going to read the book. Yeah. And I think that reading the book, it's the Green Smoothie Cleanse by J.J. Smith. Just search it on Amazon.

Reading the book is the best way to make sure that you stick to it because it tells you why you're doing what you're doing. Not just like, oh, I saw someone do a juice cleanse and now I'm going to do that same one. Like it really explains the reason behind everything. And I think that it's you need to also prepare yourself mentally for something like this well why I brought up the book is because if you think Ben is going to read that book I just have to say since I've known him one time I saw him read we like we're in the airport and we both bought books to read at the beach I read I think it was Drew Barrymore's and he bought Aziz Ansari's and legit read one page that was the only time

I've ever seen him read in the entire eight years we've been together and he hasn't even read my book so if he goes and reads jj's book before mine like i'll honestly be upset well he got the ebook so he it will be like a pdf he's waiting for the audiobook of my book like i'm like ben just read my fucking book that's but that works yeah i mean i don't have an advanced copy of the audiobook so i can't like give it out to like friends and family so he's just going to have to wait until January 26th. Okay. Well, that's so exciting. Maybe until then he'll read JJ's, you know, messianic.

Yeah, by then he'll be all cleansed. Yeah, whatever. We have a great show for you guys today. The Bachelor was on last night. Much to discuss there, as well as the world just turning. And some of our stories connect to some of my TV recap because I started watching High School Musical, the musical, the series. And I know I'm the last person on earth to watch it. And I'm just loving it, like, so much.

And I watched it because I fell into this rabbit hole of Olivia Rodrigo drama, which we will get into. I just can't believe I didn't know about, like, all these teeny boppers who were so, you know, such big stars. And I'd like to pride myself on being, like, in with the teeny boppers. Are they such big stars or until two days ago? They were very insular like in the Disney world and then it just the song like blew it out into the general public. Yeah we'll talk about the song. I'm very excited about it. In the Fast Five stories. And then I'll talk about my feelings on High School Musical the Musical the series in the story because it's such a great little show. It is a great little show. It is a really good show.

I watched it at the beginning of quarantine after I watched High School Musical 1, 2, and 3. And I recommend it for anyone. Go on a cleanse. Watch High School Musical. You'll be set. Yeah. If you just want to watch High School Musical 2, that works also.

Yeah, that does work. You know what I did yesterday? Speaking of content, I downloaded the Discovery app. Oh, Discovery Plus? plus yep i subscribed to it all of the content is there well i'm still in the seven day trial and get your own you know like support the creators that you like um okay creators even okay you know you mean support toxic corporate america sure sure sure so i got to watch aina I watched all three episodes of Magnolia Table and then also like this behind the scenes. There's only three episodes like ever? There's only three episodes

so far because it's very new. Interesting. They also had this behind the scenes of like how they set it up and like where they found the studio and her decorating the studio and like her mentality for doing the show and and watching it really confirmed what I had said which was like she's her approach is very like I don't want to say it's like candid and you know breaking the fourth wall and like you know she'll spill here and she said like a lot of times when you film cooking shows you film it twice and you make extra just in case you burn this much and she was like she decided she's not going to do that like if I burn it you're going to see it right and like make it very real yeah some could see that as real or some could see it as lazy.

No, I don't see it as lazy. I like it. I like that. I mean, well, let's see if she does an episode and it's burned. I don't get to see the finished product. I'm going to be pissed. But until then, I like the notion of like she's making what she makes and then she's going to eat it and she shares it with the crew and she brings it home to her kids.

Of course, the kids. It's very cute. So I'm like, I've just fallen down this rabbit hole and then I watched Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals because I told Jackie that I think she would really like it one for recipes and two because Rachel Ray is just a culinary queen queen she's a culinary queen and I do like the concept of like meals you can make at home in 30 minutes love to see it um it's meant for like a busy mom on a weeknight 100% I hadn't watched it in so long I forgot what Rachel Ray's personality is like and like she is just so energetic she's a lot she's a lot like and I want I sent you a clip of her like

yelling at me because you were trying to explain to me like why you weren't loving Rachel right you're like I never said I didn't like it she's just very chaotic I said the energy is so chaotic I sent you a clip like of her screaming she was being pretty nuts and then later in the episode she goes i'm sorry i keep screaming at you guys no see that's our queen like self-aware 100 no i really liked it she made these delicious chicken patties parmesan so it's like a chicken patty with sauce and cheese like a pizza the way that oh that looks so good it sounded so good I really want to make it so I'm just loving Discovery and it's my in the streaming wars like I really think that they're it's a player they're gonna show up they've been doing a lot of commercials for it um also when they use greatest showman in the do they they use a million dreams as the song I feel

like the marketing world has now like oversaturated the greatest showman like I've seen it in a few like commercials for different tv shows and stuff and it's like they know that it's like the marketing world has now like oversaturated The Greatest Showman. Like I've seen it in a few like commercials for different TV shows and stuff. And it's like they know that it's like the secret sauce to just get someone to buy something or to watch it. But now it's becoming slightly oversaturated. Oh, that's funny because to me it's like so incredible that I don't like, I'm glad it's not used more, but I think it could be used even more. Like I think everyone should use it. And the fact that it's only a handful, it's like, oh.

No, there's nothing that one of those songs like can't make you buy no or can't make me do or feel a hundred percent um also I caught up on RuPaul's Drag Race last night and I just have to say like it's really just the best show on television I don't think she's gonna win but I would love for Candy Lush to win like if anyone knows what I'm talking about she's so funny like and to me obviously what you do on the runway is so important but really what the energy you bring to the confessionals and like the drama and like untucked like that to me is so valuable and Candy Lush is just hysterical and Ross Matthews who I used to like find really annoying but now he's really found like a home

for himself I feel like he was kind of career wise like floating around like not do you remember like he was on Chelsea Lately and then he had Hello Ross and he just like couldn't find a place for himself in entertainment. He landed as like one of the OG judges for a while now on RuPaul's Drag Race. And I honestly think it's the perfect place for him. So he's much more likable. Um, and he loves Candy Lush and he really sees Candy Lush for like who she is. Um, and I just love her. Also, I love Gottmikmik um who is friends with james charles like um in real life um she's pretty fabulous and i like everyone actually i don't like that we're now two episodes in and absolutely nobody has been sent home like the one complaint i have

about rupaul's drag race is that they waste your time you know with like episodes like silliness like you're eliminated no you're not like send it send one person home every week like that's all we ask you know yeah but they're always every season trying to reinvent so it's like this season six girls went home the first night one came back but we know the other five are here like it's just so just can we go from like 13 to 1 like isn't that how it works yeah yeah I feel that it's a bachelor could also heed that advice yeah then I know we didn't get a Rose ceremony this week and we'll talk about it

in the TV recap but I really need about 10 girls to go home because it is way too many girls like I cannot Sarah who was like a star of last night's episode

never saw her in my life Sarah's the one who got Alexis Rose Alexis Rose do you feel that call of course everyone did not only in the way that she looks

but in her mannerisms as well oh were other people saying that too everyone oh I okay I know you don't have a Twitter, but it's all over Twitter. I came to that conclusion on my own

and I felt really proud. No, it's everywhere and it's so accurate. Yes, so accurate. And I'm sure she's loving the comparison. Someone also said that she reminds him of Naomi from Southern Charm and I felt that too. Kind of, more on the Alexis first.

Yeah, but I just, I saw that as well. So we will do our full Bachelor recap later on in the show in our TV recap segment and you don't want to miss it. So without further ado do you think that it's time? Oh I mean I haven't promoted my book yet so maybe I should just get that out of the way.

Tax season is upon us. Oh gosh, very scary. Actually, I... But not scary with TurboTax. Yeah, I pay my taxes at the end of the year, so I'm all good. Nice. Okay, first story.

It's what everyone's talking about. If you watch Tanisha's Instagram, you've seen some of this. But Olivia Rodrigo's song, Driver's License, hits number one across major streaming platforms and earns praise from Taylor Swift. Sickening. So Olivia Rodrigo who is the star of High School Musical the musical the series put out her debut single Driver's License and it has been out for only three days and it's already at the top of the streaming charts. It's unbelievable.

And it is the cause for this viral sort of. Yeah just sort of caught chatter it's not like honestly the story is that different or interesting from like other scandals in celebrity worlds and the three people involved like aren't even that mega famous so I don't really know why this drama like caught on it really started on TikTok where people just became obsessed but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the song is so good the song is so good so I had watched Margo's Instagram stories a few days ago so I got the lowdown basically Olivia Rodrigo was dating Josh who also stars in High School Musical the musical the series Joshua Bassett he plays Ricky and they um they were like so the thing is is that's confusing is that when they met she was 16 okay and so that's why like

driver's license was such a big deal because they were like waiting he's older not that much older but I think he's like 19 snitch says that he taught her how to drive yeah and they were waiting for her to turn 18 to like officially become a couple so they were definitely like in love I don't know if they were like full-blown boyfriend girlfriend because she was younger or they just weren't public about it because she was younger okay and i guess like in their relationship there was always this like underlying like weird thing that like he might have been like into sabrina carpenter she was always very insecure about it i saw a video of them yesterday on an award show carpet with like four of their castmates and the the woman interviewing them was like who are you guys excited to see perform tonight? And someone was like, Alicia Keys.

And some girl was like, Sabrina Carpenter. And Joshua Bassett's like, whoa, she's here? And like, it was just like a moment in time where they forgot they were on camera. And like, you look at Olivia, it's like the most cringiest thing. So there was always like this weird element with Sabrina Carpenter. Okay.

Then I guess nobody knew that they like broke up or whatever. She puts out this song that just spills the tea everywhere. And it's piping hot. Yeah, no, this song is like word for word what went down. I saw an article that's like decoding Olivia Wright. There's no code. It's just English.

It's just she wrote out what happened. He's with an older girl now. She drives by. You're with the blonde girl who's so much older than me. She drives by his house now alone, but she did get her driver's license. Yeah and it's just like the memory of him teaching her how to drive. It's very you know she's a very musically talented young girl. She also wrote that song that went viral on TikTok from High School Musical the musical the series um All I Want. All I want is love that lasts. Yeah. She's really good on the show.

I you said you didn't like love her on the show. I didn't. And so when I watched, I was ready to obviously hate her. No, but. I think she's spectacular. Like she's a really good singer. I just like didn't, I didn't love her energy on the show. And I just feel like Justice once again needs to be served for the girl who plays Miss Darbus

in the musical. Like where. Did you finish the series? No. I'm only on episode four i agree that that's like ej's cousin the girl who plays miss darbus in the musical is the glue that holds the the drama club together like she's such a queen and she's so talented when her and nini sat down at that piano and sang that song i was shook like shook shook shook and i i couldn't agree more

once again miss darbus saves the fucking drama club. Right. So that's like the angle I came at it from. And I was just like, okay. I mean, she's super talented. There's no denying that. And there are some songs that I even like listen to on Spotify. And it's not even All I Want.

It's like another one. Yeah. I just like had other thoughts. But the show was really good. And I hope that this like sort of drama and virality will make more people watch High School Musical the Musical the Series because I thought it was really good. I mean, it made me watch it. So I have to imagine other people are doing it, too. I agree.

And when it comes to High School Musical the Musical the Series, it's a Disney Plus show original. So it's not on Disney Channel. But, you know, I was really shocked at how I found the show to be much more mature than, you know, the Disney Channel days have passed. more mature than you know the Disney Channel days have passed and I just think it's like it's crazy how like not that much time has passed since like we were watching the Disney Channel but I feel like the energy at Disney is so different like even the way that like you know Gabrielle is not like a nerd and true you know what I mean like it's just like high school in those like archaic sort of stereotypes yeah that we grew up with like are so toxic they were really sticking to the status quo and like they were so before their time with that song but still they could not really like just because Troy did basketball and saying he broke the status quo like no it's

and just because you're in the drama club like that doesn't make you a loser yeah they're not in these boxes anymore which I think is so healthy like I can't explain and I was just like shook when the big senior that everyone was like obsessed with EJ like went to drama camp like I'm like yes like thank you like I just think it's so wonderful for kids who get to like watch out grow up not in these like these archetypes that like our generation built of like pretty cheerleader ugly nerd you know like it's so archaic and it was just so refreshing to watch and of course like Disney has come you know light years away from where they used to be like they're that a gay love interest I haven't I don't see what happens like I don't know if he shows up to the prom or not but like there's a gay couple

like it's just so different and so refreshing and like honestly kids these days are just going to be better off because of it yeah I just haven't watched kids content in so long like I didn't know how much has changed no also also High School Musical the musical series is interesting because it's like not doesn't represent like the Disney Channel right now but it's Disney plus and so you really do feel like you're watching something more mature than like you're watching a Disney Channel show so yeah the jokes are like a little bit more elevated and like kind of dirty sometimes and also it's like the premise even of their they go to this their students at the high school where high school musical was filmed

and the drama club is now performing high school musical the musical as their spring musical and the drama director is like she was an extra but her scene got cut like it's just like she is so funny and the whole series but her in particular really reminded me of Glee yeah the soundtrack is so Glee and she looks like a mix of Miss Pillsbury and Kristen Chenoweth and Kristen Chenoweth yes oh my god I thought the show was like and I read somewhere that they like some of the creators from Glee like worked on Disney plus the show but the similarities are so stark and I love Glee I think that maybe is why I really like the show yeah so you're not done yet are you gonna

finish it today um actually have a very busy day today but I will do my absolute best because I'm it's it's short episodes like it's yeah how many episodes are there I have no idea I watched it at the beginning of quarantine no I'm really enjoying it it's like nice to have something that I like and I love the music like I just could sing all day yeah and also like if even if you're not invested in any of what we just said the song driver's license is objectively really great and you should just listen to it and enjoy it yeah and justice for Olivia Rodrigo I mean oh and now Joshua Bassett like is putting out a song called lies lies lies oh right and oh I guess the shyness came in when Joshua Bassett like shared on his Instagram, like the song saying like Olivia Rodrigo driver's license is out now. Like so proud of you. Right. And it's like I saw a tick tock or something that was like imaginative.

Like John Mayer shared shared Dear John was like a new song out. So proud. And like I wasn't sure if that was like a genuine so proud of you, like or like a manipulative like gaslighting type of moment. I don't I think people are erring on the side of gaslighting. Now, of course, Sabrina Carpenter's Instagram has been flooded with comments like, Chyler Tyson's Bond girl, which is like so annoying for her. But I just love Olivia Rodrigo. She's apparently such a big Taylor Swift fan. And she's just like dying that Taylor commented on her Instagram

and that they're like, you know, top of the chart queens together, just like hanging out at the top of the charts. And this is just like a real success story, like for the girl who I guess like got left behind in the relationship. But like she came out the winner. Yeah. So far. I feel like the story isn't over.

No, I just like cannot explain how little I'm interested in listening to a Joshua Bassett song. No, I'm good. Sabrina Carpenter, though, I'll keep my ears open. She's a great singer, songwriter. She's a great talent. Greatwriter. She's a great talent. Great talent. And, you know, I think one of my favorite songs of hers is the song that you wrote for the Girl Meets World theme song.

It's so good. No, she has, like, a really fire album. I agree. A number of them, really. Okay, so that's what the kids are up to in case you're wondering and you're seeing it all around or you didn't give a shit at all. No, I think, like, 30-year-olds everywhere are hella invested in this. Like, hardcore rabbit hole. Yeah, I've actually been seeing a lot of really funny TikToks. Like, the, I'm not going to describe the one that I saw, but it was really funny. Yeah. Okay. Sounds hilarious. No, it was so

funny. It was, like, a girl, like, already working from from home yeah like the truckers for olivia are here and like trying to decipher everything and then also like getting on zoom oh i saw that too it was really funny yeah it's literally all over tiktok it's crazy i mean and that's how things songs get big and things spread now so okay next up martha stewart gets her first dose of the covid vaccine she says she waited in line with others. Others? Just to let everyone know that she didn't. Oh, no.

Just to let everyone know she didn't skip the line. Right. She's part of the approved age group. Right. Like, she didn't, like, use her privilege, like, celebrities to, like, cut the line. Yes. On Monday, the 79-year-old lifestyle mogul shared a video of herself getting the vaccine at the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Wait, she has a hospital? Yeah, that's so interesting and assured fans that she didn't skip the line at the building that's named after her. Yeah, sure. Adding that she was in the approved age group, Monday was the first day in New York City that they started vaccinating people age 75 and older. That is so crazy. I actually saw on the local news, you know, when I turn on my TV, it takes me automatically to New York One. And if I forget to put something on, like it just rolls on for days. And I actually learned that, you know, they were opening up all these facilities and you have to make an appointment and it's like so messy. And like all these people were complaining about how like

it's like impossible to get vaccinated. And it was like people who really needed it. And it's like not funny to joke about, but I'm happy Martha Stewart got it. Yeah. I'm happy that she got it too and that's really sad um she didn't i don't think that she specified i don't really feel like it matters either no but i think um i think it's pfizer yeah yeah i think pfizer well the moderna one's out too the moderna one is out too i know someone who got it nice yeah. Yeah. So that's just like some exciting celeb vaccination news. Also the king and queen got vaccinated. Did they? Love love love to hear it. I'm so glad that they made it through this difficult time. Me too. Unharmed.

Me too. Do you think that there are celebrities who have gotten it like using their privilege and like just aren't telling? For sure right? I honestly can't fathom that. Really? I can't. Why? I don't think. I definitely think there are. Like the same celebrities who've been like lecturing people to stay home.

And then like fly to St. Barts you know? For sure. Yeah yeah yeah. No it makes sense. And I'm sure 100% they are. 100%. That is just so crazy to me. Yeah.

Because we're still at this stage where obviously it's going to go in order of need. But like we're at the like critical need. Critical need stage. Yeah. No. The people who are just like the most vulnerable. Right. Still haven't all gotten it.

So if like a 25 year old pop singer is getting it like it's kind of crazy. Yeah. But I'm. I have no doubt that there are probably many a celebrity who have gotten it already. That's insane. It's just. It's really fucked up if you think about it. Yeah.

But. But not confirmed. But I guess we. We won't know whether. No. They'll never tell us. But like I just, it's really fucked up if you think about it. Yeah, but not confirmed, but I guess we won't know whether. No, they'll never tell us, but like, I just think it's very fair to assume like some people have gotten it. Damn. Okay, ready for a little good casting news? A little GCN?

A little GCN. What are the odds? Sure. Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are in talks for a Lucille Ball biopic. Oh yeah, I saw the story and like. You didn't care? You don't think that Nicole Kidman will make a great Lucille Ball biopic. Oh, yeah. I saw the story and like... You didn't care? You don't think that Nicole Kidman will make a great Lucille Ball?

Well, I do have something controversial to say. I don't know who Lucille Ball is. I love Lucy. You know her. No, like I know the show, but like don't know her. I mean... I'm sorry to this woman.

You're not expected to know her because she's like... Ancient. Not of your time. Yeah. But she's an icon and you know I love Lucy. she's like ancient of your time yeah but she's an icon and you know I love Lucy it's like a sitcom yeah from back in the day big hit big stuff no no I've definitely heard of I love Lucy and yeah for sure I just like don't know this woman from Adam and I

what I do know is I feel like she's a little bit of a nut I just feel feel like we're real. And I don't see Nicole Kidman like being that chaotic. I just feel like we're the only people talking about Lucille Ball and Olivia Rodrigo. That is the diverse slate of content that you get here at The Morning Toast. And that's why we do what we do and why we're literally the number one podcast in the universe. Why do you think Lucille Ball is a nut? Isn't her like show like okay like i burned the turkey yes yeah that's like no but i feel like nicole kingman could do that so well like think of bewitched when she was like that's true that is some of her best work on my nose again yeah

that is some of her best work yeah arguably and nicole kingman can really do it all and i think that aesthetically she looks like lucille ball and i think she'll crush it if these rumors are true she does look like lucille ball that's very true and i think she'll crush it if these rumors are true she does look like Lucille Ball that's very true and I think she can easily be made to look like her like with that coif right right okay fabulous I mean definitely won't be watching but we'll be supporting Nicole Kidman as I always do as she's the queen of my heart body and soul and her and her husband are the probably I would say unequivocally, like the most precious couple in Hollywood. I agree.

And I also feel like Nicole Kidman at this point is one of those people who it's like I trust her taste in movies. And now I want to go back and watch everything she's ever been in. Yeah. Like that's what I did with Cameron Diaz at some point in quarantine, I think. You know, if you think about it, the signs have always been there that Nicole Kidman was really like the talent of a generation. Just in terms of some of the earlier things she chose, Stepford Wives.

Iconic. Iconic. If you've never seen that movie, you guys, you aren't living. Obviously, Bewitched, which was such an incredible movie and like such a weird like, they play it on E! sometimes, but like such a weird like little nugget. Like I feel like it wasn't really popular, but I loved it. Yeah.

Now I'm going gonna go to her her IMDB just because I want to like bring up all the other ones she was also in Practical Magic which people love I feel like we're always talking about that movie but you never know what it is also if you're ever looking for extra Nicole Kidman content make sure you're following Keith Urban on like all of his social media platforms because they have this like warehouse on their farm in Tennessee where like all of his guitars are and he just like makes videos of him you know practicing his music and Nicole Kidman is like always on the side like doing like a weird weird old lady dance and it's some of the best content I've ever seen in my life so I really suggest that you follow him on like TikTok and Instagram wow she's been in so many

movies like if you really decide to go down this path you could have like a month full of content for days a lot of spooky movies too she does have a very spooky vibe to her like she's got a lot of spooky elements yeah she just seems haunted right she's also an aquaman what i think she played the like aquaman someone's mom that's a safe assumption yeah she's just in so much good stuff practical magic paddington just go with it yeah, she was the friend at the bar that was like, they were, I just saw this scene like a week ago or a month ago,

where they're like, she was like that one-upping friend that Jennifer Aniston always felt like. So she was Luann de Lesseps. Yes, 100%. Grace of Monaco looks fabulous. She's just an actual like star, you know? Yes, yes.

So anyways, makes sense that she would play an actual star. Here's the tea on the movie though. Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are in talks to play the married couple who starred on I Love Lucy and were also powerful Hollywood producers in an upcoming movie. Aaron Sorkin will direct the film that's called Being the Ricardos, which he also wrote. Wow, that's so exciting.

Aaron Sorkin. Are you going to see it? I might. He's like a talented writer. You. Aaron Sorkin. Are you going to see it? I might. He's like a talented writer. You love Aaron Sorkin. I do. Do you want to tell everyone why you love Aaron Sorkin? No, because I don't even remember.

I do. When we were counselors at camp, we would get every other night off, and there was this great bar where everyone would go outside and drink, and it was like really annoying if you were underage because there was this bouncer there named Aaron who was really strict like really really really strict um I actually had an amazing fake ID were you underage or was just I no I definitely was too and so like sometimes you would get in with Aaron and sometimes he was so unpredictable and sometimes you wouldn't and if you wouldn't you had to sit inside because it was also a restaurant the restaurant you could sit at

no matter what age you were but outside where like the party was you had to be 21 and if you did go inside and like you tried to sneak inside there was no getting past Aaron he was literally Jackie used to call him her babysitter and for some reason she started calling him Aaron Sorkin and I literally didn't even know who that was but I was like Aaron Sorkin it was so funny and then we just like just it was a nickname that really stuck hard. But he was really good at his job. He was really good at his job. He kept us from the bar.

He kept us in line. Successfully. And now he's directing a film about the Ricardos. It's amazing what, you know, where hard work can take you. A hundred percent. And also an interesting factoid about this movie that you might find interesting. But knowing you, like, probably not. Yeah.

Cate Blanchett was originally attached to the project, so I think she was, like, supposed to play Lucille Ball. I think she also would have made a great Lucy. Yeah, I don't know if she has enough chaotic energy. No, I'm being dead serious. She's, like, so calm. They should tap Rachel Ray. Totally.

She would make a fantastic Lucille Ball. They should tap Rachel Ray. Totally. That's so funny. That's good. that's really good thanks that's fucking funny okay ready for our next story which is a little biz news I guess a little biz new sorry I'm moving my tabs around I'll wait for you to to make the stories make sense. A little biz news.

Okay, so sales of Crocs have soared during COVID. I mean, you can thank Ben's offer. You really can. Crocs' bittersweet moment has arrived in the midst of a global pandemic. The foam clog, I guess that is what they are, a foam clog. A flog? A flog. Okay're a flog. Okay.

Derided by many for being, quote, ugly. That's so mean. Expects 2020 to be a record sales year. On Monday, Crocs raised its fourth quarter outlook and full year outlook for 2021, now forecasting fourth quarterly year-over-year revenue to have increased about 55% to between $407 and $410 million, up from its previous estimate of a 20 to 30% increase. So, I mean, it's really not that surprising because, like, I know Ben loves them, but, like, so many, I've really seen, like, more people wearing them and embracing the ugly almost.

And honestly, not to, like, bring it back, but, like, you know who really made, like, ugly fashionables? Like, Kanye. Like, even his shoes really look like Crocs now like those sandals that Kim wears yeah um like this is not that shocking but I'm nonetheless really happy for Crocs no not that shocking but it is like affecting the stock market Crocs is on the Nasdaq oh I gotta buy some stock C-R-O-X cute and shares are up 12% I also think like whoever works there and does their celebrity partnerships is an absolute genius. Because the Luke Holmes like collab that they did is phenomenal.

I think they also did a Justin Bieber collab, which I didn't myself purchase. But still, great collab nonetheless. Speaking of Justin Bieber, his new song is so stellar. Stunning. I've listened to it maybe like 20 times already. Me too. Which is a lot for me and a Justin Bieber song. The music video is weird. I've listened to it maybe like 20 times already, which is a lot for me and the Justin Bieber song. And the music video is weird.

I haven't watched it. And he like kisses Zoe Deutsch when he's fully married. That's just like unacceptable. You know, why didn't Hailey, who's literally like a model slash actress,

why didn't she star in the music video? I don't know. Or if you want to use like a different actress, fine. But like don't kiss another woman. Especially in a music video where it's like so unnecessary. Unnecess nobody asked okay ready for our fifth and final

story that's going to lead into our bachelor recap sure the bachelor resort employees found a used condom in a tree during production of matt james's season i mean sounds about right matt james's season 25 of the bachelor filmed at Nima Colon Resort in Pennsylvania looks incredibly beautiful. And the resort's CEO is dishing the behind-the-scenes scoop. Maggie Hardy Knox told Page Six that we actually found a used condom in the tree branch. It's actually disgusting now that I think about it. Used condom is so sickeningly gross and very unsanitary especially living in a pandemic we're just leaving our semen everywhere matt james the ceo who teased that hair will be pulled and weaves

will fly during the season noted that it was hard to keep track of everything that went down on the property during production which began in september 2020 how do they know that that used condom wasn't there before matt very true very i'm gonna need an investigation on a dna sample on the semen sample yeah i need a time stamp we need it no we need a dna there's no way that like matt james was just like fucking in the woods at nema colon during his season i don't know is there i guess it could have been towards the end of the season when he like right like hannah and the windmill yeah that's true oh my god for sure they're using protection it was his it's just at this stage of that i'm watching

of the show, it's like inconceivable that he would be having sex with any of these women yet. But like when they get down the road. Right, of course. When they get down the road, like usually they would be out of Neiman Cullen. But no, they're still in Neiman Cullen. They're in love and they have been in the fantasy suite. So now they're going to have sex in the woods.

Yeah, no, it's a bachelor condom. Do you think that the fantasy suite provides, like, condoms and everything? And you think, like... They do. They do. Oh, wait, no. I think they don't. What?

Yeah. They either do or they don't. I think it would be wildly irresponsible of them not to. Someone shared in one of their memoirs. They do. They do. The status of condoms in the Fantasy Suite. And you think probably most girls are on birth control there?

I mean, it's their choice. Yeah, which is interesting. When you think about logistically, the fantasy suites. Yeah, I think with condoms, you're good to go. Do you feel like there's such a stark difference in the quality and budget of the dates and just the overall atmosphere of Matt's season versus Tayshia's? Yeah, versus Claire's.

To the point where it's almost offensive? No No, it's like I would be so pissed. Like they literally can take planes and ATVs and I'm sure there's going to be horses and cars and everything. Like the property is so vast. And I mean, I guess when they did Claire's season, they didn't know. They couldn't think outside of California. Yeah. Oh, that oh that's true you know and to them it's like doing it at la quinta was better than doing a whole season at the bachelor mansion so i i mean yeah i would be pissed now if i was clarentasia but they also like it's a pandemic because the girls like lofts little room was like so cute and the fact that they all get to like be together and have house drama yeah as opposed to like going to other people's rooms.

Right. Or like the boys who literally could only hang out together at like the community pool. Yeah. All right. So let's talk about the actual episode. First date was Brie, who I just love. She's so clearly like a top four. Like she's one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen in my life.

When she got chosen, she was like, oh my God, no, this is my ugliest outfit. Like queen. We were standard relatable queen. But they let her change. Oh, did they? Yeah, because she was wearing something different on the date. Well, because she needed a bathing suit too. So how could she have known?

Yeah. And she wound up getting the outfit completely dirty. So if she wound up having to wear her ugliest. Plus she was wearing a dress and she wound up wearing pants. Like you're not going to wear a dress to go on ATV. Yeah. So it was, she changed. But she's so cute.

Their date was really, really cute. She's so so pretty I love that they like oh my god oh her background was so interesting that her mom gave birth to her at 13 and it's like always just been the two of them and her dad wasn't around and Matt and her were just like vibing like on similar backstories and I just think she's like such a winner like it's crazy she's such a winner I loved what she was saying about like creating her own like big family and like gravitating towards friends with big families and like just want like wanting to meet that person and then like making a big family I feel like her and Matt were just completely on the same page my only like concern is usually the person who gets the first date like doesn't win and then no they fizzle out yeah they do like they're really strong and they'll and she'll probably make it to top four but then like they sort of get overlooked so I almost wish she didn't

have the first date for that reason because like history doesn't bode well but you never know I feel like Maddie had the first date of Peter I was trying to think about it this morning well I actually think that although I literally love her so much and if it were I was the bachelor I would pick Brie like hands down from the second she came out of the limo, like she was just special. I don't think that he picks her. Like, I just don't think that that's what's going to happen. I didn't read any spoilers. That's just the vibe.

I think like Rachel or like Mari. Like, I think that's more his type. Oh, you do? Yeah. Interesting. I have no idea who he's going to pick. You can even tell now like who he's really vibing with I feel like he has really good connections with like at least six people

agreed and you can also tell when he's like can I take you back upstairs Victoria yeah okay well so let's talk about the group date because I actually texted this to Margo um and she was like laughing but I was really being serious when I say that when Victoria like cut the line for the photo shoot and by the way we have to talk about the photographer because it was the same one it was the same Vaseline photographer the Vaseline lens um when she just kind of like really like in my opinion like really obviously she was being insane but when she like kissed Matt and his body language was so obviously not into it and like she was being really aggressive like i really felt like that wasn't okay like you can't just kiss

people because you want to kiss them like they have to reciprocate the kiss back and it was so clear that he was not reciprocating it yeah it was insane that happens a lot on this show and it's just sort of like okay like it just seems to be par for the course but it's extremely uncomfortable to watch and I imagine extremely uncomfortable for the lead yeah I mean he obviously doesn't like Victoria I don't know how anyone can stand her I like actually feel bad because she's so clearly the villain um but it's almost like she's a paid actress like she's such a villain a hundred percent like I going into last night's episode I was like I feel like she's such a villain. A hundred percent. Like I going into last night's episode, I was like, I feel like she's just putting on this like queen front because, you know, it's an interesting, like it'll get her airtime

and obviously like she's not going to go very far, but it's, it's a way to do, to do the show. But then last night I was like, I think this is like who she is. Yeah. You know, cause you can't even, like if you're a regular person just like putting on, like I don't even think you can conceive of being that irrational. Insane. No, and when I see people who became, like, the villains, like, I do see how editing plays a part and how some of the things they're saying, like, might make sense in different contexts.

But, like, she reminds me, and I don't want to compare because I actually think Corinne is, like, so funny and really was, like, a gem. She was never going to make it, like, with Nick. But I think for entertainment, like, she was so funny and really was like a gem she was never gonna make it like with Nick but I think they almost did for entertainment like she was so funny and cute and yes she said some crazy things but it reminds me of that because I think that she came into the show like with the intention of being that but she's coming off so annoying and so rude and she made me like that girl who was she fighting with Marianne is that Marilyn Marilyn um she made me like that girl. Who was she fighting with? Marianne, is that her name? Marilyn.

Marilyn. She made me like her when before that she was having this conversation with Matt. She's like, I feel like you don't even remember me. And it's like, obviously he doesn't. There's 30 girls here and you didn't get a date this week. And she's just like, on TikTok, they call her like a pick me girl.

And it's like, you know, like those girls. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, oh, I thought you didn't want me. Like, do you know what I'm saying like oh I thought you didn't want me like do you know what I mean she was bothering me so much and then I ended up feeling bad for her because Victoria was so mean to her and was like so clearly manipulating Matt in that conversation yeah but like when Victoria said Victoria's clearly describing like a scene that happened in their room that we never saw yes and Marilyn said such terrible things to her and the girls were like I can't imagine Marilyn saying that like tell us what you think that she said also it's worth noting that Marilyn didn't deny it she apologized so maybe Victoria's telling the truth no it's like I even if Victoria's telling

the truth like okay fine I'm not even concerned about like the Marilyn drama I'm just like the way that you're coming off and also what's so crazy is like she said she said that she was jealous right of of the date sure and the other girls were happy for her yeah okay and then she said I can't fathom like they're all jealous but they're also having breeze a nice girl yeah no but like then later in the episode when Sarah goes on her one-on-one I think Rachel says like I it's or someone says like I'm jealous but it's just the tone in which you say it versus like makes the biggest difference. Of course, there's an understanding amongst everyone that everyone's jealous, whoever goes on the date, because it's not them.

But you can also be happy for your friend. Yeah. No, she's... It's also just, like, a little too early to come out, like... This. Like this, and it's... I'm not into it. She doesn't go home because she's in the previews for next week, being insane again. And all I have to say is that both when she was wearing the bride dress and when she was

wearing her rose ceremony dress, her bra was sticking out the whole time and it was bothering me so much. Like a queen literally would never. Like that's a literal like rule one of being queen. It's not even written because it's unwritten. Like you can't even. Queen Victoria is like rolling over in her grave. You can't even cross your legs when you're a queen.

Like let her own have your bra strap. Not once but twice. Nah. Rolling over in her grave. You can't even cross your legs when you're a queen. Like let her own have your bra strap. Not once but twice. Nah. And yeah, no, she's just so messy in so many ways. And she's, I feel conflicted about her because I think girls like her are like a necessary evil on the show. Like they definitely like, what else would we be talking about? Like they keep it interesting.

But I'm really one of the people who watches for the connections and she's just getting in the way of that. Yeah. But I also think when that like sort of planted villain does go there does become drama amongst like the core group just you know real drama emotions are heightened like and so I think the sooner like that we get rid of girls the more then we get to like a point of interesting drama like I'm just don't find that interesting I I agree. It's like silly gimmicks. Yeah.

And the third date was with Sarah, who honestly I had not recognized, but I thought she was really cute. I thought he might send her home before the dinner because like it seemed like they weren't vibing at all. Like they didn't have much to talk about, but it was because she was like clearly holding something back. Yeah.

And honestly, it was like so sad when she was talking about her dad. I was like crying and I just like Matt is such like a gentleman like and those are like difficult conversations to both you know share with someone and also to receive that information like you want to say the right thing but Matt James is the king of just like saying and doing the right thing a hundred percent but also I feel like for him now that I'm um just watching the season and more so on the group date not on the one-on-ones because you're literally like being chosen to like share open up yeah but on the group dates when they just

like sit down with him and like tell them tell him in third grade I was bullied I agree it's like so weird no and like then Victoria like went and she was like I'm insecure sometimes sometimes I feel fat I'm like yeah me too literally think she's to get a rose for that. Because of that. I know I seem confident, but sometimes I'm not. No, it's like, so you're human. Like, congrats. Like, that's her big secret. No, it's like everyone just sits around, like, waiting to open up.

Like, as if this is group therapy. And waiting to one-up each other, like, with their story. Yeah. It's, I agree. I thought that way on Claire season two. The stories are coming earlier and earlier now. Like, it's only's I agree I thought that way on on Claire season two stories are coming earlier and earlier now like it's only episode two like I would like I would save my story to like my one-on-one top six or at least my one-on-one yes no I agree it's like this weird cycle that started and now I'm seeing it for how weird it is and I really saw it on Claire season when they were doing that painting

date and like it was literally group therapy like it was so weird also like trying to one up each other in terms of like winning Claire's over like the hardest it was so bizarre I completely agree um but all in all a decent episode it ended with Sarah like fainting at the I know I don't know what that was about I don't think Victoria poisoned her maybe but she already had a rose so like she couldn't have been like so nervous about the rose ceremony, but maybe just the elements. Maybe she like hadn't eaten all day. Yeah. Or maybe like the altitude is different at Nemacol and I think they're in the mountains.

Yeah. But like the Pocono Mountains, it's not like high altitude. Okay. I'm just, you know, you never know. Also, I want to talk about Kit. Yeah. She was like totally irrelevant this episode. Totally irrelevant.

But she, so the sweater I was wearing on the show yesterday, had just posted on her instagram someone sent me so i took a trip down her instagram i've been there fabulosity that oozing fabulosity makes no sense you see her instagram and you're like why is this girl on the bachelor right so i that's what i want to talk about because even on the show like she her outfits are so on point and she dresses like very um new york new york not like she even wore like a mini dress for the first night with combat boots which is not done like she wore like little kitten heels on the group date dinner i don't know if you saw them but they were like a very classy kid she watched the premiere of the bachelor with kaya gerber like this makes no sense it makes no sense

yeah okay and also she's 21 years old so she's the youngest contestant this season so like the minute she was able to apply for the bachelor she did right when like she literally lives in the lap of luxury so I'm happy to have her here on the show and I look forward to the looks that she's going to bring because so far they've been impeccable but why is she here no and and we all know she's Cynthia Rowley's daughter yes me and Ben spoke about it last week um and we both agreed that it was so weird, but that she also looked like Queen's Gambit. No, she's so, like, I'm loving seeing her,

but I'm just so confused. I would like an explanation. I feel like I was looking at her Instagram, and it's so influencer-y. I think she really went on for the Instagram followers. 100%. Like, as many followers as quickly as possible. And then she'll leave Bachelor Nation behind she's

not gonna win she's not gonna do any more shows I don't think she's gonna go on Paradise no I think she'll have like a couple hundred thousand and like that's really like the good base for her fabulous life in New York City socialite justify her just like taking pictures all day yeah and being like an influencer for Cynthia Rowley yeah I mean I do think there are other ways to get Instagram followers that are less strenuous on the body. Like this way of going on The Bachelor is like, well, that's why those girls cry so hard on night one because like you think it's foolproof, but then, but then you go home on night one. But if you can like, you know, do okay, it's a foolproof way to get half a million followers. There's a girl who went home night one who has made like 10 TikToks about like trying to like

make jokes about going home night one on The bachelor and it's so thirsty and so not funny and i'm so glad she got sent home night one because like that's not the type of energy we need i mean speaking of night one girls who go send home remember those girls i forget i think they were the rose on ari season seven girls got sent home the first night and they all like started a club the rosé squad or something rosé over roses yeah yeah and we like made fun of them on the morning breath and they like wrote me a nasty message that's like my life like getting messages from people I've spoken shit about yeah so it is what it is it is what it is I'm so glad that the rosé rosé girls

like really took off for sure And they're still going strong. No, and it's like, I think they have like one of the biggest, I don't even know what clubs. I just remember they had like a photo shoot. They had a photo shoot and an Instagram page. Rosé over roses. Something like that. And I don't know where it went from there.

I think they would do like Skype calls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Also, I just want to say Rachel's rose ceremony dress look was so stunning. I don't recall. Like, movie star red carpet. It was a black, I think, silk halter dress, open back.

She had her hair up. Like, it was a level of look that we don't typically see on The Bachelor. It was, like, old Hollywood. It was stunning. Love to see it. It was stunning. I find see it. It was stunning. I find the girl who brought the vibrator, her name is Katie,

and like she literally faded back into irrelevancy where she belongs last night. Oh my God, she was the vibrator all episode. I thought she was the goat hoof. She's so annoying. Like I just, she's like, her energy is like just the type of girl like I run from.

Do you know what I mean? I'm actually sure she's pretty nice, but I just mean like on the show like no but also it's like I didn't even remember that she was vibrator girl and so to go from being vibrator girl to just being like one of the girls and not one even one of the good ones like no you could either be a writer girl or a vibrator girl and that's it and you choose to be a writer girl because girl with no job the crazy beautiful life of an instagram thirst monster comes out on january i sneezed on it it's true get your copy at girl with no job.com book and jerry why don't you tell everyone a little bit

about your feelings while while reading the book like you you were one of the first to read it so i read it back in june i think and my feelings were like i was trying to like take myself out of being your sister and i was like this is the exact book that I'm looking for from like my favorite influencers you know and you know I was really conscious when writing the book I've read other influencer and like reality star people like in our space I've read their books and I think what the sentiment sometimes is like this person's like really not self-aware and like cringy and like you know is very privileged and I'm aware I recognize you know my privilege and I really didn't want to come off and the book it's like not being self-aware and like not being cringy um and that's why like when I had you read it like I

was like embarrassed because I just like didn't want you to feel that way about something that I wrote no I didn't feel that way and anytime I ever did I definitely made a note and like yeah we removed it but I my biggest issue with like those types of books is they're just not very interesting or good or share anything that like I didn't anything no if I if that's the hard thing about like being an influencer or podcaster like on Instagram yes everyone knows everything about you so when you write a book you have to share things that you don't typically share yeah and I by the way a hundred percent and I think one of the things I actually really pride myself on is the fact

that you can be a Patreon member, listen to the toast every day, follow me on Instagram for the last 10 years, and you won't know most of the stuff in this book. Right. And even as your sister, like you're just sharing like thoughts and insights that you've had that I might not know.

So it's really like you are getting more than just like your Instagram stories, which is, can be hard for a lot of people to do. When you share all the time. When you share all the time. But I'm just like an endless well. Of information. Knowledge. And stories.

And you're going to see. That really comes through. Really comes through. Again. You can pre-order it at. Girlwithnojob.com. Slash book. I think that's all we got for you guys.

I think that's all she wrote. I'm sure there's something on tonight. I think Real Housewives of Dallas, which I'm actually really excited about. Oh, great. We both watched the premiere, so we'll recap
