Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had an amazing, refreshing, and fulfilling weekend. I really do. I really had an amazing weekend. I don't know if when you have an amazing weekend it makes Monday harder or it gives you the joie de vivre to tackle this Monday head-on. I think it depends on what kind of weekend you had. If you had like an amazing weekend having so much fun getting so drunk, like Monday's rough. But if you had a really balanced, family-ing nourishing yeah then i think that does give you the power to power through a monday i really do believe that yeah well i did have the latter of weekends but i just
Starting point is 00:00:36 can't believe we're it's back to the top you guys no i know because like we were we were literally just talking about this what a week ago like back on the wheel. Monday? Back on the grind. The hamster wheel continues. Really? Monday? Again. Again. Seems excessive.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Yeah, it's a lot. We did have a great weekend. A jam-packed weekend. I saw Billy Joel. You did? Which was really a treat. It sounds like you saw him. Oh, I didn't see him on the street.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Okay. I saw him in concert. He has a residency at MSG. This is my second time going. And it was really just, it was spectacular. I cannot recommend it enough. I think Billy Joel is extremely underrated. And I don't know if it's, like, he's really a New York thing.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Because he exclusively plays in New York. And he's, like, huge in New York. I don't know if he's, like, as popular in, like, Nebraska, you know? I think he's popular in Nebraska. And I don't think he's underrated. I think he's a really big deal. No, I think he's extremely underrated. Like, I don't ever see him, like, getting awards, you know I think he's popular in Nebraska and I don't think he's underrated I think he's a really big deal no I think he's extremely underrated like I don't ever see him like getting awards you know or like I think he's won all the awards I don't think he like comes out with new music I wonder if Billy Joel has any Grammys I'm sure he does Uptown Girly does Billy Joel Uptown Girly
Starting point is 00:01:38 Girl has yeah you'd be really surprised how many songs you knew you know New York State of Mind Piano Man how may he be wrong how may be crazy um he does he has quite a lot okay I feel better one two three four five oh like one two three four five six seven eight nine okay that makes me feel better so he's properly rated you think I love you just the way you are. No, but like I was talking to my friends. I'm like, I'm going to Billy Joel on Friday. They're like, that's so weird. I'm like, it's not. Like, I'm like, you don't even know.
Starting point is 00:02:13 And I think a lot of people, at least people I spoke to, confuse Billy Joel with Elton John. Because even Ben was like, does Billy Joel sing Benny and the Jets? I'm like, no, that's Elton John. And Ben, the reason why we went is Ben is literally Billy Joel's number one fan. Like he grew up in a Billy Joel house. Got it. I confuse Billy Joel with Billy the comedian. Crystal.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Crystal, yeah. Well, one of them is annoying and one of them is not. So it's actually not hard to confuse them. Got it. Well, I'm glad you had a great time. Yeah, it was really exceptional. If you have a chance to see Billy Joel, like see it. It's really, it's quite a show.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Right after you see Gavin DeGraw. And right after you head over to themorningtoss.com slash Patreon. And listen to the Patreon because we recorded a Patreon episode yesterday. A new theme, which is always fun. And it's such a good one. We had you guys submit anonymously so you could be as free as you wanted your unpopular opinions. And we went through a lot of them and just discussed our thoughts.
Starting point is 00:03:02 And it was just fun to like talk about random subjects. Peanut butter, avocados. Dairy free, gluten free. Allergies? Question mark? Question mark. It was really a lot of hot takes. Some that I agreed with and some that I like just did not understand.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Like, I don't think Kelly Clarkson's that great. Like, what? Yeah, that was a lot to digest. But it was such a great episode. There were hundreds of submissions and we probably got to 20. So we will definitely do a part two and that's going to be really exciting. Maybe a part three.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Maybe. Maybe it's like a five part. A hundred in each. No, we could actually. We got over 500 submissions. And I do think we did 20 of them. 10. Literally, we just were so chatty.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Like, because you know what? Like, what is up with Maroon 5? You know? Right. They were really thought provoking takes. Yeah yeah and we had to dive into each one we could dine out on this idea till the end of the year and you know what i actually enjoyed really a lot like the experience of recording that episode yeah me too so we won't do that but just know that there's that's how many hot takes there were but it was interesting to see people having the same hot takes about something totally random.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Right, like Beyonce. Oh yeah, or peanut butter. A lot of people like really hate peanut butter. No, and like I, like that just could never be me. No. Get you a sweet treat that also like a nutritionist would approve of. Like, what? Love it.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And then yesterday we had the absolute honor privilege and joy of seeing the Downton Abbey movie finally we took control of our own destiny even though like we had to wait for them to give it to us right we didn't go to the theater but we were able to purchase it on Amazon Prime for a very fair what $25 $25 to own it which if we went to the theater us two a bunch of snacks maybe a seat for Theo like would have been yeah about $25 for one person with all that yeah so I thought it was a bargain and I thought the movie was heavenly like really really extremely well done extremely well done I liked it more than I liked the first movie I liked the beat and I liked the plots because there were two big plots that could have each
Starting point is 00:05:01 been their own separate yeah they gave us a lot and there were so many like full circle moments I felt I don't want to spoil anything but I just like had this like I felt like the whole time they were framing each scene like I'm sure they were doing this like from a bird's eye view of like what it means from the beginning of the show because at the end you can plug your ears for a second you know we're gonna let's talk about it in depth so if, let's talk about it in depth. So, if you haven't seen the movie, like skip ahead the next two, three minutes. Okay. So, I just wanted to say, I don't even want to spoil the end about, you know, what happens. But, so they're filming a movie at Downton. That's one of the plots.
Starting point is 00:05:36 And in the end, the extras, they hired the servants to be extras in the movie. And so, all the servants are sitting at the dining table playing great lords and ladies from the 1800s and the family is watching them behind the camera and it's like standing it's the first time that the servants are at the table and the family is standing and I just thought that was a really nice metaphor metaphor because also throughout the years it's like the servants have become family and it's like no and then later you go in history like that servants they do sort of that culture like dies out yeah so it was really cool to see it inverted like that yeah I also felt like there was a couple storylines that like came full circle and like loose ends that were officially tied up obviously the first is clearly the dowager um and then like just other people whose like journeys like came to a close okay you know um
Starting point is 00:06:28 I was thinking of it before I went to bed in that Branson oh no um Barrow yes Barrow got you know what did you think about Dominic West in the movie okay so right when we started it Jackie was like remember Dominic West is in it and that like immediately ruined my entire day um because I just like really don't like him but I will say like he was kind of extraordinary like he first of all I loved his character he was like this good guy actor from America but with British roots and I thought he was really great and I and I think the way they tied up Barrow's storyline because there really isn't that many realities in which Barrow who was closeted could have like a happy, what he called an honest life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:05 And I think he got as close to that as he'll ever get. And I actually really liked the ending for him. Yeah. And I thought Dominic West, I thought he was really good. And I thought that other American actress who was in the film, Doglish, I thought she was awesome. I love Doglish. It was nice to have like a new face on the scene,
Starting point is 00:07:21 plus Dominic West, but we've already seen his face so many times. And I liked her character arc. And really I really enjoyed it yeah I felt like at the end of the show like a lot of people's storylines like became complete like Edith and that's why Edith wasn't like a major part of this movie because like her future is set you know so I just felt like a lot of people who were kind of like hanging like I wonder what happens then they kind of got their happy ending okay but Mary's Mary's still hanging. Where was Henry Talbot? Why wasn't the actor in the movie? Like they obviously didn't say you can't be in the movie because they let everyone and their grandma in the movie. They let Carson's real life wife come
Starting point is 00:07:56 into the movies. Yeah. Like obviously they wanted him to be there. This is an ensemble thing. He clearly didn't want to do the movie. and I think it's time for the seven husbands of Lady Mary Crawley no I know I thought maybe that's like the direction that the film was going but it was not no it was not but if we do get a third film which I think we could even though I don't know that this one performed so well but it's just hard because I know people didn't want to go to the movies it was so good I thought like literally it was so beautiful like I need to go to the south of France we need to be in the French Riviera. Immediately.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Immediately. What are we still doing here? So I really hope that it does, like, well on demand. And I think that it will because we were talking about, like, the people who watch Downton, like, aren't running to the theaters. Yeah. So I loved it. Yeah, I loved it too.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I do hope there's a third movie where Lady Mary is divorced and catches. Or maybe widowed, you know, because like divorce isn't like. She can't be widowed twice. No, but divorce is becoming not commonplace, but happening. Yeah. In the 1930s. It just like, honestly, whatever the. Whatever the ending for Mary is in terms of her love life, it's not going to be good because like she was meant to be with Matthew.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Right. And they had to go and do that because he just had to do Beauty and the Beast you know I mean he gave us a lot no he's a wonderful man yeah but I liked Luke Brandon playing her you know semi love interest Luke Brandon from Confessions of a Shopaholic plays Mr. Bob we were like watching we were like where is this guy from and then when you said it I was like yes like literally scratch the itch it was so good it was so good uh so we need to circle back with her and they could do another movie even though a lot of people are set in their ways but you actually gave a really great idea to have the little kids grow up a little more and then they can be debutantes girls about town but that puts us like five years from now. And then the war is really just looming. Well, okay. First of all, I don't think I said that.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I think it was someone else in the room. That sounds like a good idea. I definitely didn't say it. And yes, that's what we were saying. Like it's now 1930, maybe 1931. Like how much longer can they go on until they reach the Holocaust? Which like, of course, has to be addressed. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And like Little Sibbyby we could have like little sibby being like 17 18 being like rose right but that's like eight years and that's the holocaust that would be like 1938 yeah we're creeping in and also it's world war ii for britain so it's like it's blitzkrieg it's a lot it's giving blitzkrieg it's a lot so i don't know where they go from here especially because they started in 1929 and I feel like they maybe ended in like 31 yeah because the baby was born yeah and like looked pretty big so I don't know I don't know either but I'm open to it you actually I think this was your idea also just attributing all the good ideas to you that for the next movie they should go to America that was my good idea but we're creeping into the depression and I don't know that that that's the
Starting point is 00:10:44 vibe that's the vibe I don't know that that's the vibe. I don't think it's the vibe. But they should have done it like in the show. There needed to be something like the Downtons in America. An American moment like a summer in Newport. Yeah. Yeah. So what you're saying is it's not the vibe stop.
Starting point is 00:10:55 That is exactly what I'm saying. How did you know? Okay. Official Downton recap over. Come back. So we've got a great show. We've got five measly stories. It's Monday.

Also, does Dominic West's performance in Downton Abbey make you more okay or excited for him in The Crown as Prince Charles? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:14 But here's my question. Is Dominic West British? Yes. I just saw he's born in New Yorkshire. Okay. So that definitely helps because the thing I liked about Downton, it's like it's protected from thirst monsters because you have to be like organic to yeah and also in the new Downton movie was Imelda Staunton who is going to be playing the queen in the crown
Starting point is 00:13:33 Maude Bagshaw who's actually Carson's real life wife and the parents of one of the Featherington girls the irrelevant ones yeah but they are like they turn out to be kind of cute in the end. Yeah, no, but it's not Lady Whistledown. No, not Whistledown. So, Dominic West. It's definitely better. It softens the blow. I really did think he was great, but like something about him, maybe it was his character in the affair, and then that like weird Lily James affair thing,
Starting point is 00:14:01 which is also weird because Lily James was in Downton Abbey, that makes me just like kind of icked out by him. he gives the ick yeah I hated the affair more than I know you did I didn't even finish it that's how and I went through a bunch of seasons and I hated it so much I was like I need to stop watching this is making me angry I actually really liked it of course there were things that made me angry like watching the same episode watching the same 30 minutes twice but from two people's perspectives like how much time do you think we have like for real I know but you know conceptually it's an interesting idea how he remembers it versus how she remembers it like he thought she was coming on to him like she saw it as like he was it's a good idea for one episode
Starting point is 00:14:38 not for a whole show yeah they stopped eventually yes but um so there were things I really didn't like about it it's like uh Allison's character and the whole 30-minute thing. But there were things I really did like about it. Maura Tierney, Joshua Jackson. There were things I really liked and I did finish it. And like, did I ever tell you how it ended? Do you want to know? No, yeah, tell me.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Okay, spoiler alert. If you're in the middle of watching the affair, if you ever plan on watching it, I'm going to spoil the ending, okay? You're going to die. they get back together who the initial married couple the affair maura tierney and dominic west even after the murder yeah and the baby yeah and then i think she dies or something because they like they fast forward to the future and he like goes back to montauk and like spreads her ashes it's so stupid so stupid no they really lost me that season with
Starting point is 00:15:27 Brendan Fraser oh that was that was incredibly stupid but justice for Brendan Fraser yeah because like at the end of it he wasn't he didn't even do those things no Noah was like going psychologically unwell yeah um do you know about like the internet's obsession with Brendan Fraser no okay so like a couple of years ago some random I think it was a podcast or something somebody decided to interview Brendan Fraser and everyone knows Brendan Fraser for when he was really young and very handsome and like you know a boy next door and then we kind of like haven't heard from him really except he was in the affair and he did this interview um and he was just being so cute he like looks like a dad now. He just looks like PJOM material.
Starting point is 00:16:08 And the interview went so viral, especially on TikTok. People literally are obsessed with him. He has a whole new career now because of his internet fandom. And what does he do with it? Nothing. He just engages with people online all the time. He loves it. He gives major dad energy.
Starting point is 00:16:22 I'm looking for what podcast it was. Or like a web show. Don't quote me on that. Well, I think he has a podcast now. Of course he does. Welcome. Or it's called the Brendan Fraser podcast and it's hosted by other people. That might be it. What? Like it's other people have a podcast called the Brendan Fraser podcast. Like another person named Brendan Fraser? No, just like people who are Brendan Fraser fans. See, I'm telling you. I think. No, there's something there. I love Brendan Fraser. Yeah, they talk about everything Brendan Fraser See I'm telling you. I think. No there's something there. I love Brendan Fraser. Yeah they talk about everything Brendan Fraser. I'm telling you he has like a crazy fan
Starting point is 00:16:50 club and I get it. I mean I saw George of the Jungle and what was that other movie? With the phone where he sells his soul. Yeah yeah with Elizabeth Hurley. I think it's called like Bedazzled. No that's what I was thinking. Bewitched. It's like. No no Brendan Fraser. Wait don't tell me. I know it. I think it's really Bedazzled. It? It's like... No, no. Brendan Fraser. Wait, don't tell me. I know it. I think it's really bedazzled. It's like a word exactly like bedazzled. Okay. It's besmirched.
Starting point is 00:17:13 No, no. Bewildered. It's with a B and it's like to dazzle, but it's not bedazzled. What is it? I'm looking. Look up Elizabeth Hurley. Bedazzled. Bedazzled.
Starting point is 00:17:23 He sells his soul to the devil and Elizabeth Hurley is the devil. Yeah and he like he keeps making calls on a phone to like get a new life or something. Such a good movie. So good. Yeah. Okay now that we've recapped Brendan Fraser we can get into the Fast Five stories and the first one is that Amber Heard did GMA or sorry the Today Show this morning. Same thing. Says that she doesn't blame the jury for the verdict. She calls Johnny a fantastic actor. So Amber Heard doesn't blame the jury for Johnny Depp's recent victory in their defamation trial. She said, quote, I actually understand. He's a beloved character and people feel they know him. He's a fantastic actor. She went on to call the social media
Starting point is 00:18:00 negativity surrounding the trial unfair. She said, quote, even somebody who is sure I am deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I'm lying, you still couldn't look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there's been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think this has been fair. Okay. I actually don't disagree with her. Like, and I feel like we talked about this a lot throughout the trial, like what social media was like contributing.
Starting point is 00:18:23 But I don't think that has anything to do with the verdict. Right. Social media is irrelevant to the verdict. And actually, if the trial was, if she thinks the trial was fair and the jury did their job, if they had ruled, even if there was no social media taking sides, like once the jury ruled,
Starting point is 00:18:39 like then that's what people would have went with anyway. I just, like, I agree with the point she's making, but I don't see how it's relevant at all because jurors are not allowed, aren't they kept in hotels, they're not allowed to engage in social media because that would obviously be creating bias. So I agree, if you look on social media,
Starting point is 00:18:58 and that's something I think we all experience, like when we first started, like, dipping our toes in the trial, and it's like, wow, there's so much pro-Johnny content because Johnny has a lot of fans. Was it really Johnny's fans making the content? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:10 He has like ravenous like, but shouldn't Amber have a lot of fans too? Like she is an Aquaman. Like she's also a big actress. There was like that one year she was the most Googled woman in the world. Like just for her looks, like, like not for anything tabloid. Like it was like the most beautifulled woman in the world, like, just for her looks. Like, not for anything tabloid.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Like, it was, like, the most beautiful something. Yeah, no, she definitely should. But I think, and that was something that they discussed during the trial, were, like, Q scores and social media followings of Amber versus other people in the Marvel universe, like Gal Gadot, like Jason Momoa. And what they, like, that that researcher's conclusion was was that like she Amber in comparison to other Marvel and I don't know if it's Marvel whatever like other comic book people she had a much lower like likability from social media from the public who was putting this researcher on the stand Amber's people both Both people. They both had researchers. I think it was Amber's person.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And then Johnny had a rebuttal because Amber's, it was Amber's agent basically saying, comparing her to Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, and like maybe Chris Evans in terms of like what they're getting paid, how Amber was just like them.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And that's, and Johnny trying to get her taking her, he tried, Amber alleged that Johnny tried to get her out of Aquaman 2 and so Amber's witness on the test Amber's what is it called expert was basically like well look at what all these other people are doing and he tried to get her fired so you know that could have been her and that's a damn that's considered damages but then they had someone come on and be like well actually she's not like Zendaya, Gaga Dote or Jason Momoa and here's why here's her Q score here's her social media numbers and it was much lower than Gaga
Starting point is 00:20:54 Dote and Jason Momoa and K-7s and Zendaya got it which honestly I don't think her agent should have ever compared her to those people because no but it's good because it looks like they have all this and that could have been number two even though like not at all they're not on the same level no in each situation like gaga dote was wonder woman she wasn't franchise aqua woman yeah i guess a good comparison would be zendaya no but zendaya zendaya not because she was the leading lady in spider-man but because she's zendaya yeah like you could be on shake it up and then maybe call that's true no it's like get you a girl who can go from Shake It Up Chicago to literally Cannes Film Festival.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Literally. Plus everything in between. Greatest Showman. Euphoria. Spider-Man. Where's that body of work from Amber? Yeah. So I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I mean, I guess she had to do something in terms of a response if she plans on having a public life. Yeah. So I think this is a good first step. in terms of a response, if she plans on having a public life. Yeah. So I think this is a good first step. But I don't really understand, like, the relevance of the point she's making.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, and I also think that people are either Team Johnny or they're Team Amber. And if they are Team Johnny, like, they see her in this light. And interviews like this just perpetuate what they think that they see, which is that she's lying and that she's, you know, changing the narrative. That's actually a fair point. And the people who are team Amber are still team Amber. I don't know that this will change any hearts and minds. I think if any hearts and minds were going to be changed, it was going to be during the trial.
Starting point is 00:22:14 A hundred percent. And now that's over. A hundred percent. I think minds were changed in the other direction. Yeah. And so, yeah, I agree with Amber. Like social media was not in her favor and it wasn't like a fair fight because Johnny did have this like, you know I agree with Amber. Like, social media was not in her favor, and it wasn't, like, a fair fight, because Johnny did have this, like, you know, huge fan base.
Starting point is 00:22:28 But at the end of the day, that has absolutely nothing to do with the jury's decision. Yeah. And, you know, I was thinking the other day how we haven't had any jury interviews, book proposals. Like, I was waiting. I thought literally the next day there would be, like, a GMA with one thirsty juror, you know? Yeah. The thirsty juror. All we need is one thirsty juror, you know? Yeah. The thirsty juror.
Starting point is 00:22:45 All we need is one thirsty juror. But we haven't. And I'm curious. Usually we find out what happens, like, in the room, you know? Yeah. Was it unanimous? Was it a fight? But we don't, we haven't heard anything.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yeah. Where are the thirsty jurors? I don't know. Couldn't be us. Maybe there's, like, a time, like, maybe there's a statue of, like, they can't talk for a few weeks. I don't know. Yeah. Or maybe, like, they miss their families. They're just taking a a breath they don't want to talk about Amber and Johnny for five minutes and they'll they'll resurface yeah we'll see we'll
Starting point is 00:23:15 see but also in order to be on a celebrity trial like this you can't be interested in celebrity things so I'm sure most of the jury members like don't want that life yeah I mean before you go to trial especially with these big fancy lawyers they spend literally days going through people so I think they had to ultimately have landed on a group of jurors who aren't the biggest pirates of the Caribbean and Aquaman fans because that wouldn't be fair yeah that's like an like an explicit bias yeah so maybe like they in turn had to choose non-thirsty jurors. Which is just a loss for us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Some great news. Some great news? Jennifer Hudson became an EGOT winner last night at the 2022 Tony Awards when she won for A Strange Loop. She joined the ranks of the select few who have gotten all the prestigious performance awards
Starting point is 00:24:05 she joins the exclusive list of 16 other winners winners including the likes of Audrey Hepburn Alan Menken Andrew Lloyd Webber and Whoopi Goldberg who all won awards at the Emmys Grammys Oscars and Tonys hence EGOT okay so I didn't even realize Jennifer Hudson was in the running or else I would have like actually like paid attention to the Tonys last night. Right, because I know a couple people who are almost there. Like I know Lady Gaga's maybe halfway there. As of last night, RuPaul is halfway there because he won a Tony and he's won like a million Emmys.
Starting point is 00:24:35 I don't know how he's going to get an Oscar. Halfway there is not really. It's a start. It's a, sure, it's a start. But like I'm interested in the three quarters there. Yeah, I think Lady Gaga's three quarters there. I think so too. So I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:24:48 I was like keeping my eye on certain people. And I didn't even know Jennifer Hudson was almost there. And the best part is like when you watch her. She won with an ensemble. So she didn't like make a speech or anything. She was standing with the group. And you literally see her realize that like oh my god it's the fourth one. Like I got it.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I don't think she went into it being like I'm going to get anGOT yeah it's so crazy and she's so talented and this is proof that you don't need to win American Idol you don't need to win American Idol I wonder if when you become an EGOT you get a trophy for EGOT no no because they're all separate entities so there's no EGOT entity no I think some people make necklaces that's cute yeah do you think there's like uh like a yearly meeting of the egots there should be there should be yeah there should be i feel like there definitely is and like currently whoopi goldberg is the like leader of it yeah well i guess let's do what we love to do see whose other the 16 egots yeah john legend i know the alan other EGOTs are? The 16 EGOTs. Yeah. John Legend, I know. Alan Menken. Love. You know him. Love. Beauty
Starting point is 00:25:47 and the Beast score. Do I know what he looks like? You don't know. You love his work. Okay, okay. He did Beauty and the Beast. Oh, love, love, love. Alan Menken. We love him. I didn't realize I was a fan of Alan Menken. Oh. Audrey Hepburn. Familiar. Whoopi Goldberg. John Legend. Rita Moreno.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Oh. West Side Story. Yep. Mel Brooks. Oh. Tim Rice. Unfamiliar. Me as well.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Me as well. Mike Nichols. Richard Rogers. Rogers and Hammerstein. Ah, look at you. I think. No, let's go with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Jonathan Tunick. Marvin Hamlisch. I think these are a lot of like musical direction, like behind the scenes people, like Andrew Lloyd Webber. Right. The thread that pulls, you know, an EGOT together is really music. You can't just be an actor and win all four because how the fuck are you going to win a Grammy? So people who get EGOTs normally do music for movies for TV shows for theater yeah and that's why it's mostly people you probably haven't heard of but that's why when like a forward-facing celebrity wins it's like even more impressive yeah yeah Robert Lopez it's interesting to see all the um
Starting point is 00:26:59 like he wrote Let It Go and Remember Me. Oh, yes. Those are from like the more contemporary Book of Mormon. John Gilgud and Jennifer Hudson and Helen Hayes. Good for her. And Scott Rudin. And that's it. That's it. That's it. This is like one of the last few things I think that are like a really big deal.
Starting point is 00:27:21 You know, because I feel like these days, you know, everyone has an Emmy. You know, but like to have an EGOT is such a big deal. I think they should rebrand. Like it's not enough to have an EGOT. You have to have a REGOT. A Razzie as well? One Razzie. A hundred percent. Just to show that you're able to flop and get back up on the horse. It shows strength, perseverance, courage. Great. It shows that you can laugh at yourself. I'm interested in the Regots. This is huge. Like, really? This is maybe one of your best ideas yet. I actually completely agree.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Do you think any of these people have a Razzie? Yeah. Yeah. A Razzie is prestigious. Well, Razzies are contemporary. John Legend maybe has a Regot. Let's see. Oh, well, Kat's got a Razzie. And was in cash jennifer hudson she is regot
Starting point is 00:28:08 she's the first regot winner because i don't think the razzies were around for audrey hepburn check if john legend has a regot okay as a razzy wow john legend razzy wait here's an article this is our sort of publication. Two EGOT winners are also Razzie winners. So there's two EGOTs. There are two EGOTs. Does that include Jennifer Hudson, though? Because there may be three of them. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:28:34 It is incredible. Hold on, hold on. It's like very verbose. Wordy. Alan Menken has a Razzie for the song High Times, Hard Times from the musical Newsies. And he got that the same year he won an Oscar. That's always my favorite. Alan Menken has a Razzie for the song High Times, Hard Times from the musical Newsies. And he got that the same year he won an Oscar. That's always my favorite when you get a Razzie and an Oscar the same year.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Sandra Bullock. And who was the other one who got a Razzie? Minnelli. Is that? Liza? Liza? But she wasn't on that EGOT list. Oh, man. This is an article about REGOTs.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Whoopi Goldberg is just one razzy went away from gaining regot status okay but even though like it's an article like you had the idea like i did i promise you but the i'm glad to know there's people who think like me okay the regot is huge regot no jenny egot no thanks regot yeah regot over greater than yeah that's what i said regot over greater than she's making fun of me she's making fun of me okay wow congratulations jennifer hudson like you've won them all huge brava are you ready for our next story justin bieber has postponed two upcoming new york city shows following Ramsey Hunt syndrome diagnosis. I'm sorry, like, you're trying to tell me Ramsey Hunt is the name of an illness and not someone from Game of Thrones?
Starting point is 00:29:50 Yeah, yeah. That's shocking. It's clearly a nefarious name. Yeah. Nothing good can come from Ramsey. Nothing. Justin Bieber will not be performing in New York City this week amid his ongoing health battle. The 28-year-old singer, who recently revealed that he'd been diagnosed with Ramsey-Hunt
Starting point is 00:30:05 syndrome, was originally slated to perform at the city's famed MSG on Monday and Tuesday. But he posted to social media a video and text saying that he was taking some time off of his tour to deal with some health issues, including Ramsey-Hunt syndrome, where half of his face is paralyzed. I mean, I'm heart heartbroken I was literally supposed to be getting ready for Justin Bieber right now we're going tonight yeah oh nice I'm so upset but obviously I understand and I'm wishing him the best and you know it's just like scary it's scary also because this is like a freak thing and I feel like something similar just happened to

Well, Bryce, but together. Well, no. Together, they're the Stryce brothers. It's hard to be one half of the Stryce brothers. No, and it's hard to be Theo, the star.

Taylor Swift surprises fans with a performance at the Tribeca Film Festival. Yes, yes she did. At Saturday's Tribeca Film Festival screening of All Too Well, the short film, the musical multi-hyphenate was slated to speak with director Mike Mills about her foray into filmmaking. But she surprised guests by ending the afternoon with a live acoustic performance. Like, obviously. Like, what was she going to do? Not perform?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah. So she performed the All Too Well extended version. And the fans were hooking. Yeah. It was at the Beacon Theater, right? Yeah. Which is just really near and dear to my heart I heard like before her mic was turned on she sat down and
Starting point is 00:34:49 she's like so you're saying Claudia Asche performed on this stage yeah I heard that too but obviously I can't confirm nor deny um and so first of all I love the all too well 10 minute video I think it's literary work of art I'm glad it's getting its moment. And it really just, like, this whole Taylor all too well movie thing makes me just love Sadie Sink. Like, to me, like, she emerged the hero from this whole thing. Because she's, I feel like she's always playing second fiddle to Millie Bobby Brown on Stranger Things. Do you watch Stranger Things?
Starting point is 00:35:17 No, but like. I've never seen it. No, me neither. But I know the whole cast is famous. And Millie Bobby Brown is, like, the most famous. And it's like, well, what about Sadie Sink? And now I'm glad Sadie Sink is having like her special thing. Yeah, this is very special.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Yeah, it's a huge honor. What's that guy's name? Dylan O'Brien. I like him too. I didn't really like think of him before, but any friend of Taylor is a friend of mine. Dylan O'Brien from Curb. Who's he in Curb? Remember, Larry's trying to get him to play young Larry.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And he has to like go to his concert and listen to his music. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I also know him from... He's from the Disney Channel. I'm pretty sure he's from...
Starting point is 00:35:52 No, he's not. He's from Teen Wolf. Are you sure? Positive. He's so Disney. He's not Disney at all. Oh, you're right. Teen Wolf.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah. He looks like the brother from... And he's in that franchise that was like big the commercial is like he's sliding through that cement door and he's from the internship which is the best movie not the one we watched this weekend okay we also watched the intern this weekend which is just like one of nancy meyer's forgotten films no it's like it gets
Starting point is 00:36:20 so much credit but like it's beautiful i never choose to watch it because i've seen it i know it's amazing but like watch it again it's so amazing I never choose to watch it because I've seen it and I know it's amazing. But watch it again. It's so amazing. But no, he's the one with Owen Wilson and Midspawn, which is actually my favorite movie. And he plays the kid on the other team who's an asshole. Yeah, yeah. I didn't even realize there were two iconic films literally with the same name.
Starting point is 00:36:39 The Intern and The Internship. No, he plays the person on their team who's the asshole. But then, of course, Heart of Gold. Of course. Put them in a blender. When the team works together, they're googly. Taylor looked great. She sang, of course, I saw the performance.
Starting point is 00:36:51 It was really quite breathtaking. She sings beautifully. Beautifully. She chanted her Hoppedora portion beautifully. Yeah, we're so proud of you. Mazel tov. And it was a gorgeous afternoon in New York City. You know, we don't get those a lot.
Starting point is 00:37:04 No, we really don't. No. So it was nice to see. I York City you know we don't get those a lot no we really don't know so it was nice to see I hope she wins for the film festival I don't think is it a competition uh it should be I think you're right get a sparkle yeah someone should win yeah like a something but also like is this a short film that could be in contention at the Oscars and I got smelling and he got well she was nominated for Cats obviously. That didn't win. But that's giving Riga. Does she only have G? She has G-L-A-M-O-R-G-M. Does she have anything other than a G? No. Are you okay? Does she have an E?
Starting point is 00:37:50 I feel like she was being an actress at some point. No. Does she have an O? But she might have written a song. Is it a Z shirt? Oh my God. Are you okay? Is it an F shirt? You okay?
Starting point is 00:38:01 I think she only has a G, which would mean she's incredibly far away. And she has an R for cats. Pretty close, yeah. But I do think this should has a G, which would mean she's incredibly far away. And she has an R for cats. Pretty close, yeah. But I do think this should be a short film that's in contention at the O. Yes. R-O-U-S. It's just so fun.
Starting point is 00:38:16 I'm a big Jack Harlow fan. I know you are. I just really like that song. I know. Even though it's not his song. No, but I also don't even think I've ever heard the whole song. I just hear it on Instagram and also from other people's radios when I'm at a red light. I could put you in.
Starting point is 00:38:30 First class up in the sky. We're, like, such, like, rap girlies. Such. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Yeah. Speaking of music. Mm-hmm. You've got the music in me. are you ready for our fifth and final story
Starting point is 00:38:49 yeah i'm like kind of or i don't really want to do oh you don't want to sing the it's not that i don't want to sing i'm just like not in the mood to sing that particular song today do you have a different song in your heart it's written in all of us and it's brought us here because you are the story in me gorgeous our fifth and final story is that the real housewives of new jersey star joe gorga has gone off on one of his tenants in a wild video saying that he hasn't paid rent for four years joe gorga went nuclear on one of his tenants in a rent dispute over an apartment complex the star owns and the screaming match is intense the heated argument is a peak jersey showdown with landlord Joe getting all up in the grill of his tenant and profanities and accusations flying in both directions. The incident went
Starting point is 00:39:33 down Thursday and it sounds like this dispute has been brewing for a while. Joe's lawyer claims the tenant hasn't paid rent for a few years and owes nearly 50 grand in back rant. Back rant? Sorry, it's a rant about rent. As you can gather from the video, the tenant sees things differently, claiming Joe's gotten a good chunk of rent money from the state due to a COVID relief program. While Joe's attorney says Joe collected
Starting point is 00:39:54 nearly 40 grand in COVID rental assistance from New Jersey, he claims the guy hasn't paid rent on his own since October 2018 and still owes the nearly $50,000 sum. Joe's rep says Joe initially felt bad for the guy and didn't want to evict him but as you can tell from this video Joe's had a change of heart. His rep says they've now filed eviction papers. For his part the tenant says he's a restaurant manager who lost his job during COVID and is still trying to get back on his feet. Yeah but if you haven't paid rent since October 2018 and the pandemic started in 2020.
Starting point is 00:40:26 um but if you haven't paid rent since October 2018 and the pandemic started in 2020 yeah I mean part like how does it get to this place like I feel like aren't the rules like you don't pay rent one month like you're out yeah but the rules did change during COVID yes but I'm sorry October 2018 that's literally a year and a half no totally so you couldn't evict people during COVID because they had like a rent moratorium or something and And the eviction courts were closed, which I think was fair. Even though we haven't, the eviction courts were closed, but somehow we got evicted from our old office during COVID. Right, right, right. But I think for Joe, like maybe if the guy wasn't paying in 2018,
Starting point is 00:40:58 like maybe it was just more of like a relationship where it's like, okay, you'll get me back next time. But now this is going on four years and it seems as though Joe's patience has worn out. Yeah, but like doesn't Joe, first of all, I didn't even know Joe was a landlord. Like we're learning so much about his business. And honestly, I don't think I really understood what his business was up until now. And two, like doesn't he like run a big company? Like shouldn't there be other people like taking care of this?
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah, but they clearly didn't take care of it. Right. I don't know how you let this go on for this? Yeah, but they clearly didn't take care of it. Right. I don't know how you let this go on for four years. Yeah. And then you wind up on TMZ. No. And like when I pulled up this story, there was like a still shot from the video. And it's like someone in their car filming Joe with his phone filming.
Starting point is 00:41:40 And it's like it's giving Karen, you know. Yeah. And you never want to be associated with like that. Like if I ever, I always think like I will do anything in my power to avoid ever getting into one of those videos that like go viral on TikTok and YouTube like if there's ever like a moment on the a plane where like I want to start a fight like I won't just because like that video will haunt me till the day I die and so Joe kind of he has that now and that's tough yeah nobody wants a Karen video was but is it the Karen who's filming?
Starting point is 00:42:07 It depends on the situation. Sometimes it's the Karen filming. No, totally. But like, I just don't want to be associated with any Karen like videos, you know? Yeah. Even if I'm totally justified. You got to get paid four years, no pay. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:19 So say like someone owed you four years of payment. Like say like, I don't know what it could be. Lin-Manuel Miranda. Okay. No, like say you were working like for a brand for four years and they wouldn't pay you and your agents couldn't get the money and like you needed to show up to the offices and demand your money like would the fear of having a video an unflattering video stop you from getting what's yours? Yes actually I did go through something like this with an extremely large brand and this was a couple years ago and I literally was so fucking annoying
Starting point is 00:42:46 it's like when you do an influencer partnership usually it's like net 30 net 60 which means the brand has like 30 days or 60 days to pay you it's in your contract whatever it's in your contract mine was net 30 but like usually they pay you literally the next week if it's like a normal brand that's like easy to work with and this particular brand I won't say because it wasn't the brand's fault it was the marketing agency and I would love to put them on blast but I won't say because it wasn't the brand's fault it was the marketing agency and I would love to put them on blast but I won't because I feel like there are a lot of toasters who work there um I was emailing non-fucking-stop actually I kind of want to find the email because I was being so crazy it was a lot of money and it was like months going by and their um office I knew was like really close to my old apartment and I like, I'll come by and pick up the check. I literally sounded crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Hold on. Payment. I'll just type. Oh, here. Oh, yeah. Okay, here. They kept saying the check is in the mail, which is like so. I'm like, hi, checking in again.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I said, hi, this is getting ridiculous. Very unfair. Payment is over a month late. I've been extremely patient, but this is outrageous. No response. I wrote again, any update here? Will payment be processed in 2017, this year? Do you have a date?
Starting point is 00:43:49 Anything helpful? No response. Can you believe that? Again. Oh, then they write, I have your check. Apologies for the delay. I said, thank you. Was it sent out?
Starting point is 00:44:03 She goes, they were playing with me. then at the end she never responded she said yes you should receive it next week next week comes i said i'm doing my best to remain patient but this is out of control you've had the check you had the check on tuesday it's monday my home is less than five blocks from your office i'm happy to come pick it up because we'll need this squared away before the holiday please assist i finally I finally do get the check. In the mail or you went and got it? In the mail. She said, we just sent it in the mail today. After she said she had it a week ago.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Liars. And I'm like, but you had it on Tuesday and said on Friday it was already sent out. And now it's Monday and you're saying you're sending it out. I did eventually get it, but that's how I would handle it, being really fucking annoying on email to answer your question in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:43 And then I never worked with the brand again. And honestly, that was their call, not mine. But but like I probably wouldn't have worked with them again uh yeah no I'm looking forward to finding out what brand this was yeah you want me to tell you you could tell me offline okay I'm gonna whisper to you no that's like people hate when we do that I really want to say it but like I'm not in the business of, you know, turning down business. Just tell me. Huh? Oh, wow. That's surprising. No, I know because it's like literally a multi-billion dollar brand and it had nothing to do with the brand.
Starting point is 00:45:14 It was the agency. And I know this agency like extremely well. Okay. Wow. Well, thank you for that personal anecdote. You got to get what's yours. You got to get what's yours. So I understand like being being but also like if you're getting i guess it's tough because like if he was getting covid relief then he couldn't lay
Starting point is 00:45:30 off his tenant but his tenant wasn't paying rent for a year and a half before that right and now out of it i don't think the covid relief still stands right and i i doubt he's looking for four years worth of rent i'm sure he's still looking for like two years before covid yeah yeah so but it's it's like hard to lose your job during COVID. Right. Because the government
Starting point is 00:45:48 shut you down. Right. I don't know. So those are the past five. You definitely needed to know them. Nah. No.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Except for the regot. Regot you needed to know. 100%. Must know. But don't cry. Don't even get sad because the show's not even close to being over.

Starting point is 00:47:52 Sometimes I get a burst of the wildest diarrhea, like topless, sweating, sitting on the toilet, crying for help. It's always so random, so I looked up on my phone, why do I randomly get diarrhea? Fast forward to Saturday night when I was out with my friends in this really hot guy and my friend group that I like that I like to flirt with was asking me questions about this festival we were planning on going to he took my phone to look something up and I hadn't cleared my search from the diarrhea questioning he announced the search to the group and everyone was making fun of me and I feel like I'll truly never recover I'm mortified oh I hate him no you didn't do anything wrong you didn't do anything wrong and like okay so it's embarrassing that he saw it the fact that he
Starting point is 00:48:28 announced it like immature disgusting piece of shit like I'm done with him yeah lesson learned and the fact that your friends laughed like get new friends yeah if anything like you look like the hero in this story you're the victim you know you have diarrhea and everyone's making fun of you when someone shows you who they are believe them like we just got an insight into what a fucking asshole this guy is and you like to hang out with him and flirt with him no not on my watch not anymore no no no and I know you didn't come here for advice just like on the burden but you have literally nothing to be embarrassed about outside perspective to tell you that these people are wrong for what they did to you and they're not your friends your friends should protect you yeah there's nothing to unburden like you literally oh you had diarrhea sorry you're human like they should be worried not
Starting point is 00:49:13 laughing and at least you know what it shows that you're like a really you know health conscious queen looking up making sure everything's going right with your body there's nothing wrong with this like literally your friends are just assholes. Set down this burden and please, like, stop giving this guy the time of day. Fly. Because only a loser would do that.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yeah, big loser energy. BLE. I'm, like, mad on your behalf. Me too. Like, that's just not what you do. Like, if you see someone, like, What are we, at 16? has, like, something, like,
Starting point is 00:49:39 embarrassing, like, happening, like, you don't expose it. You help minimize it. Like, we're... You pretend like you didn't see it minimize it like we're you pretend like you didn't see it like a normal person and move on no these people are animals at least you know it's a blessing yeah all right hello my beautiful stunning and smart queens i need to unburden this to you so i can stop panicking about it i work from home and i'm a single girl living in a one-bedroom apartment so my living slash workspace is tight my office is set up in my bedroom yesterday i posted
Starting point is 00:50:04 a picture of my dog snoozing on my bed on our company's pet Slack channel because he was looking like a precious crunchy angel. About five minutes later, I went back and looked at it, clicked on the picture, and realized my nightstand was in the background of the picture, and my vibrator was sticking out of my drawer. Anyone with a brain would have been able to tell what it was if they looked at the picture. I immediately deleted the picture from Slack, but it was up for about five minutes, and multiple people had reacted to it. So I'm sure that they saw. That's all. I'm never coming back from it. Sincerely, a girl who needs a two
Starting point is 00:50:31 bedroom. Okay. I don't think it's like that bad. I don't think it's that bad because if someone like sent a picture of their dog I would just see the dog. Only like a snoop is looking for other things and you could just pretend it's something else yeah like in your head it's a face squasha yeah yeah yeah it's one of those like vibe you had a clogged duck right people use vibrators for their clogged duck in their breast the vibrator that I use for my clog like definitely looks like a vibrator but if you're not breastfeeding that that would be hard to um what do they know yeah or maybe someone's staying with you who is breastfeeding you're a doula on the side like remember that like bed head bottle um after party yeah the pink the pink one like looked like a big dildo it looked like a dildo yeah like just say it's like oh a hair
Starting point is 00:51:14 product that looks like a dildo lol the thing is especially when it comes to pets like people are really only interested in looking at pictures of their own pets so like whenever someone like sends a picture i'm like oh my god so cute you think i even open it up i'm just like oh cute dog most of the time people are so self-involved with their own pets like So like whenever someone like sends a picture, I'm like, oh my God, so cute. You think I even open it up? I'm just like, oh, cute dog. Most of the time people are so self-involved with their own pets. Like no one's really zooming in and being like- Some people do snoop and zoom in though. Some people do.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Yeah, honestly, like I do often think like when I send pictures like in my house, I'm like, what is behind? Like is it dirty underwear in the corner? Like I'm always conscious of the background in my personal home because like my home can be disgusting sometimes. So feel this and this is just one of those things you have to learn the hard way yeah like now every time you send a picture to anyone from your home
Starting point is 00:51:53 like you will just glance around the background and make sure that's like that picture that was like going around that live photo of the girl with the engagement ring and her husband's dick in the back yeah yeah like the photo is just of the engagement ring. But when you play it live. Her husband whips out his penis. His penis is in it. Yeah. Live photos are not your friend. No.
Starting point is 00:52:11 They are enemies. And the only live photos I appreciate are ones you send me of Harry because then I get like a little. Action. I get a four second clip instead of just one picture. Yeah. No. But you have to be really careful.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Like sometimes I'll take a picture like if I was just breastfeeding, like my boob is out. And like it's not in the picture, but like it could have been in the lead up. No, I've seen your nipple like 50 times. Oh, no, I'm not worried about sending it to you. But like if I'm sending pictures around, then people want to play the live nipple. And sometimes the live photos, people settings have it to record audio, which is so scary.
Starting point is 00:52:43 So scary. So just be careful. this is a lesson you have to learn the hard way and it's not that big of a deal so what people know you exercise vaginal health like it's fine yeah it's not like it's a gun you know like it's fine it's fine it's just like because it's work no it's just like awkward but you know what like life is full of awkward moments and that's just what we have to accept when we leave our houses you know yeah and you know what just put a burden down. It happened to someone else and it was your bedhead after party.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah. And in the perspective of the Big Bang Theory? Nothing. Nothing matters. Zoom in on a photo? Yeah. Nothing. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:53:15 It's a speck in the time landscape of history. Okay. This third and final one is very special to me. I can't wait. Hey, besties. You guys keep me sane on my 30-minute commute as an ICU nurse. Love you. Love you.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Love you. Thank you. I'm going to make this short and sweet simply because I went to my cousin's wedding this weekend and I met my older cousin's girlfriend for the first time. We live in different states and we rarely get to see each other. The wedding was outside of Atlanta at a farm and it was quite literally infested with flies and mosquitoes. The awkward moment between the ceremony and the reception was in full swing and I found myself alone talking to my cousin's
Starting point is 00:53:48 girlfriend when I noticed a large gray shape on her shoulder. I immediately went to flick it off when she informed me that it was a mole. The worst part is that she told me it was a mole and I flicked it again thinking it was a stubborn ass bug. I tried to cover my ass by saying I just saw one flying by you. She was so sweet about it, saying this happens all the time, but I can't stop thinking about this moment. I already feel better typing this,
Starting point is 00:54:12 but I feel horrible for bringing up her mole, LOL, and trying to pull it off her body. I get it. I get it. I think you played it off well by saying, no, there was a little fly. Yeah, I mean, I used to have many moles, and one of the ones that brought me great grief was this one on my neck and I'll literally never forget like
Starting point is 00:54:31 being a child and someone literally telling me I have I got like chocolate on my neck I'm like it's literally a mole I'm gonna go to the bathroom now and die but thanks yeah yeah this is like probably mutually for the both of you like maybe she she wrote in her own burden on the other end. But you know what? At least your horror and her horror can cancel each other out. I agree. I agree. It's like when you think of all the things you could have said, like it's not that bad. It's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I think you played it off well. All you can do now is like set down the burden because it's not serving you to carry it around. No, and like while it is sad that you live in a different state than your cousin and never get to see him, the bright side is like you never have to see his moldy girlfriend, you know? Yeah. No, and by the time you see her to see his moldy girlfriend, you know? Yeah. No. And by the time you see her next, like this will just be in the rear view.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah. Someone else will have done it to her shoulder. And like, you won't be the most recent person in memory to have flicked her mole. Yeah. But you should change your name from whatever it is, Hannah to the mole flicker immediately. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:21 But set it down. Everyone who wrote in and everyone who wrote in this week, but we didn't get a chance to read it whatever your burden is take a minute sit with it carry that burden it's so heavy it's hurting your arms are sore you're almost there you're walking now bend from your knees so you don't hurt your back and set the burden down. You're free. Release the burden into the ethers and free yourself from the anxiety. You're free.
Starting point is 00:55:54 You're free. Freedom. Freedom. I won't let you down. Freedom. I will not give you freedom. You gotta give what you take. Well, that's our show.
