Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Tuesday. And I'm sitting down with a girl who I choose every day. Darling! Hey, girl, hey. It's Taylor Strecker. Hey, girl, hey. I love you. I'm so excited to be back. I love hosting with you. And you know what? The Toasters are obsessed.

For real, real? They are. I do feel the love, so I will receive that compliment. You'll receive it, internalize it, digest it, and throw it up and then eat it again. Like a dog, which brings me to my apology. Oh, you guys. Taylor texted me on Sunday. I was like, oh, hey, can you host a toast with me this week?

She was like, yeah, sure. I've been spiraling all weekend. I'm so sorry what I said about Theo. I said, Taylor, if you ever apologize to me ever again, I'll slap you in the throat, bitch. Listen, I felt like I was being haunted by like animal things all weekend ghost I was being haunted by the yes by Theo's ghost you look beautiful I do yeah I think it's the red red is your color maybe it's my disgusting hair that I can't bathe in or shower because I have no hot water I'm so lucky that I

got Taylor to come into studio on the week where her and her wife are living like they live in colonial times and only bathing once a week because their shower is broken or whatever. To be clear, I'm doing body washes. Yeah. I just want to say the aura and the sort of aroma you've brought to the studio. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You smell great always. I'm totally kidding. kidding no i literally was like on instagram all weekend and so many people i know dogs passed away and i was horrified because i was like oh my god all of a sudden it hit me like i was like oh over the hill was a joke but like it's very sensitive it is so i just wanted to you know some lessons you have to learn the hard way, Taylor. I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

I forgive you. No apology is necessary. Thank you. But it would be helpful if maybe after this you go and apologize to Theo. Did you tell him? I think you should write him a letter. I did tell him he was very upset. Because he loves you. But I was trying to say we're the same.

I don't think he saw it that way. Okay, well then that's on Theo. You're wearing red today. Have you heard about this? I've seen people doing it on TikTok like finding their color oh it's like it's like literally a service you pay for where you get like all these big swatches of fabric in different colors you hold them up to your face yes that's so dumb I know it's like okay I can literally go to mood fabrics and just do this with my phone like for free you just walk around the store

but it's like these color experts who can tell you what your color is. Your color is definitely red. You think so? Yeah. Or green. I go back and forth. Sometimes I think that maybe I look like a washed out ghost lady. Like a little bit vamp, vampress.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you. Well, we'll see when I look at the video clip. This might be your spring color. I love a hot pink. Well, so that's what I learned from these videos that if you go to your session, you get your spring color and your winter color. What are your colors?

Oh, I don't know because I haven't gone to a session, but like now I'm kind of curious. How much is it? Such a good question. It should be free. It literally should be free. But I'm sure it's like $100 or something. I feel worth it right off. Right off. I mean, girl.

I think that's a tax gray area. I live in the gray. I know. Well, gray might not be your color. You know what? It isn't. So I slept last night for the first time with my night guard. I got a night guard yesterday. I saw, I'm jealous. Can I tell you what an unpleasant experience it was to sleep with this night guard? That's why I don't use mine. It's, is it supposed to be like painful-ish in the beginning? I mean, I don't know if it's supposed to be, but it is for me. It's like a retainer that hurts. It hurts. And there's like this big, like plastic dick in your

mouth. And I'm like with my jaw wide open, like I get that. And people say like, it really works. I think it takes a long time to get used to. And I like, it woke me up. I was up at seven. I pop my mat in my mouth. You do? Yes. It's like really welded in there no but like that's that's how strong my tongue is yeah yeah you're a thruster that's why your wife loves you but I uh no I stopped wearing it because I would wake up in the middle of the night and be in my hair well it would be in your hair yeah what would you wear it for for TMJ I'd wear it for my grinding so I'm a clencher yeah I mean that that tracks birds of a feather flock together yeah and so i went to the dentist actually i went to dr alex who we met in lisbon oh my god yeah

and they like took all these hot like really high definition photos of like my mouth and i thought it was just the picture of my mouth i didn't know like my whole face was gonna be in it so i'm just like looking like a like a corpse like and then they put them up on the TV to analyze my teeth. I'm like, who the fuck is that? But what I realized, it's like I clench more on my right, I guess. I have like a muscle. When I saw the picture,

my cheeks are not symmetrical. I got this big old jowl on my right side and this almost dimple because I'm clenching so hard. I'm changing the structure of my... You're a bitch. Do you really see it? Like, look, look, look.

Literally. Look. Literally see it. I haven't done it yet. Ready? Look. What am I looking for? Okay, like a more protruding muscle.

You have a dimple on this side. Right. And that's like from my... I've created a dimple because I'm working my muscles so hard. Genius. You see? Stunning.

That's so nice of you. It's the truth. You're just walking on thin ice. No, I'm not. Because you don't want to offend me like you offended me last time. so nice it's the truth you're just walking on no i'm not because you don't want to offend me like no i'm not no here's the thing so my really good family friends are dentists back home where i grew up and they're like fantastic and the last time i saw them which was years ago i stopped going to them because i did not like what i heard yeah and also i can't like i i'm an adult i have to go to the dentist where I live. Yeah, no. Also, just like the dentist is criminal. Like, dentists should be in jail.

So she pulled me aside and she had like tears in her eyes because she's like my aunt. And she was like, Taylor, you have to get all your teeth pulled. What? Get veneers. Do you have veneers? No. Do I look like I have veneers? No, you have nice teeth.

You see my yellow ute? Yeah, you got like a little yellow one down there. But your teeth are very nice and straight. It's a dead one, by the way. See how I don't. Okay, look at at my teeth see how this has no like color companion yeah it's just a little lone tooth yeah i had overcrowding when i was little so they yanked one of them out so i just have one little lone tooth and it's yellow not because she's decrepit and disgusting it's because she has no nerves wow Wow. Neither do you. Neither do you. You got no nerve.

Wait, that's like crazy. I just fucking hate going to the dentist. Me too. I feel like my experience yesterday was as positive as it could have been. They got me in and out.

I didn't have cavities or anything. But like my God, I just hate going to the dentist. Me too. I know I have to get a mouth guard. I have to get all new teeth.

I have to do everything. And like I also haven't been to the physician for like a checkup like probably in six years. Let's go together. And all new teeth. I have to do everything. And like, I also haven't been to the physician for like a checkup, like probably in six years. Let's go together. And that's because like, I just know they're going to be like, bitch, you're fat.

Like every problem you have is because you're fat. And now that I'm not like on the brink of, you know, morbid obesity, I'm much more open to going. I'll make an appointment. Go to my gyno. I feel like a gyno is a regular doctor for women. It's not.

I've decided that to be. No, no, no. That's the case. And she's amazing. I have a great gyno. I, no, no, that's the case. Okay. And she's amazing. I have a great gyno. I also haven't been for a pap smear in quite some time. I'm just, I'm kind of just like rotting over here. I just, I find pap smears to be

the most unpleasant of experiences. I love them. I hate them. It's the lesbian in you. They're horrible, I cry. That thing they put up your pussy, like. Oh my God. The metal tongs. Oh, oh That thing they put up your pussy. Oh my God. The metal tongs.

Oh, when they spread the spatula. The speculum. That is a medieval torture device. They crank that shit. They just spread it wide open. I always think, how is my vagina really ever going to open to give birth? And now I know how. I get very insecure that the gynecologist thinks I like it because I am a lesbian.

But no, it would. But I don't. No, well, you're. And I do not consent. I feel like a gynecologist would assume that a straight woman likes it more because it's penetrative. You know, in the lesbian community. If she was rubbing the speculum on your clit, maybe she would think you enjoyed it. You know what?

If they did, more women would go regularly. If they did, more women would go regularly If they did More women would go regularly That's for damn sure I just hate And like I always She's like We're gonna do STD tests

And I'm like Oh yeah for sure But like I've only had one partner And my husband Is only in one partner The way I am so jealous That you guys

I love it It's my dream Thank you You know Well I say I'm like You can do it But like I don't need it

Like we're just And she's like Well you never know And then she goes on These horror stories you. You know? Well, I say, I'm like, you can do it, but like, I don't need it. Like, we're just, and she's like, well, you never know. And then she goes on these horror stories about like, you know, women who got, you know, HPV. And I'm like, I'm sure. I'm like, but that's not me. Okay.

But I'm like, yeah, sure. I guess you could do the test. She knows like crazy stories. Gynos know it all. Let me ask you a question. Please. Do you manscape before the gyno? You have to.

It's the right thing to do. It's just common courtesy. Do you manscape before the gyno? You have to. It's the right thing to do. It's just common courtesy. Do you manscape before like a spray tan? Only the areas that are going to be seen. Do you go vagina out with a spray tan? Sometimes, yeah. Girl! I never.

I'm on like a weird cycle with my spray tan artist that I see her every time I have my period. How fun for her. So when she really says she doesn't mind and I wear underwear and I'm wearing a tampon, like, so she doesn't care. But when I don't see her on the days that I'm, you know, menstruating, yeah, I go full. I hate that panty line line. Wait, spring out, string out?

Come again? Literally, you go with your string? No, I'm saying when I don't have my period. When you don't have your period. I'll go full nude. I'm very comfortable with her. That's so nice. I love a spray tan. I get

a different woman every time which is not so fun for me. Sometimes when I go to like a place you know like a sugared and bronze when I when my girl's unavailable. Yeah. You never know who you're gonna get. I go I go like I'm going for a dick appointment. Like I get you know shaved everything. Like I have no leg hair, no armpit hair. I have no mustache hair. I go so clean and fresh because I'm like I don't want this. What this stranger is a toaster does that ever do you ever think about that I oh luckily I'm not famous so it never happens but you are you are you have like a you have an audience Taylor I have an um I feel like I'm I'm I'm niche yeah maybe well I one time got a spray tan from like a follower I think it was in Austin who had reached out she's like I own a

spray tanning company okay so you knew going in that she was a yes and I will say think it was in Austin who had reached out. She's like, I own a spray tanning company. Okay. So you knew going in that she was a. Yes. And I will say like, it was weird. Yeah. She was such a professional. Just because you're so naked. Yeah. And it had nothing to do with her.

She was amazing. It was actually one of the better spray tans I've ever gotten in Austin. Yeah. Or in the country. Yep. But I was like, this is weird. I know. This is weird.

I know. I definitely, yeah. I'm so naked. And right now I'm like so mushy. Me too. And I'm so dimply. I'm so saggy right now.'m like so mushy and I'm so dimply I'm so saggy right now like they make me pull my titties up I get that too it's shameful no it's shameful like I get spray tans um sometimes like with Margo like we'll do it together and she's just

how fun everything stands up oh yeah it's tight so they just go whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh spray spray spray for me they're like all right pick your breast up pick your other breast up lean forward so we can get under your ass cheeks open your thighs like I have all these different I know it's like Cirque du Soleil when I go in there I'm doing yoga I'm doing Pilates I'm putting my leg over my head just to get under all my crevices and Margot's just like swish swish swish turn around switch switch switch same with Tay same with Tay I know and then I think that they were like judging our relationship you know because I think I often think because I also weirdly follow a lot of like estheticians on TikTok and they get asked a lot of questions, like especially women

who do like Brazilian waxes and stuff being like, does it gross you out when this and this? And they're really lovely women. And they're like, it's just the human body. They always say the only thing that really grosses us out is when you have like particles of like feces in your nether regions you know and she's like that's gross but for the most particles of feces she really worded it very nicely because i'm like what is this bitch trying to say i'm like duty dingleberries

she didn't want to use you know she was using the medical term particles of feces but for the most part they say they don't get weird wait wait is that common yes yes yes oh you know like when the toilet paper gets stuck in a vagina well they see that too sometimes But for the most part, they say they don't get weirded out. Wait, wait, wait. Is that common? Yes, yes, yes. From estheticians. Where? How? Oh, you know like when the toilet paper gets stuck in a vagina? Well, they see that too sometimes. Oh my, this is the worst. They say like a lot, like we don't judge and a lot of things like don't bother us.

But I'm a human being and I know if this was my job, like every little thing other people do would disgust me. Disgust me. And grown hair. Ew. Let me excavate it for you. No. Get off my table. Get out of my house.

I fire you as a client. Yeah. That's why I would, I could just, I could never be, I don't think an esthetician. I could be a dermatologist, a facialist.

Like I could pop. No. I see random strangers on the street. No. I want to offer like, hey, let me get that big blackhead on your nose. Girl.

I know. But I've never done that to you. You actually have lovely skin too. Thank you. I mean, you can pop my pimples whenever you want. I would love to. And by the way, don't get offended.

Like, if I ever see one on your face, I will go after it. I'm hiding one by my brow right now. But you don't really have pimples. No, I really don't. I'm very lucky. You have beautiful skin. Kate Bosworth compliments me on my skin when we were in middle school together. Yeah, I don't know if you ever heard Taylor tell a story which she's told 1,065 times.

She went to the same high school as Kate Bosworth, and they have a current mutual friend. We do. Who you met at my birthday party. Oh, was that who it was? Chris! Oh, I should have cozied up to him a little bit more. Hello! So him and Kate are still tight? Oh, hell yeah.

He's going to that wedding. He had dinner with her and Justin Long and said, very much in love. I believe it. He never talks shit about Kate, which kills me. Yeah, that's tough for sure. Whatever, he's a good friend. Have you been following the Sophia Richie wedding in the South of France?

Wait, are you not like a, like, but wait, you love musical theater. We're always doing karaoke. You always go to Marie's Crisis and sing show tunes. I only know Defying Gravity, but like the, whatchamacallit, Lea Michele version. Well, the Glee version of every song is better, so I respect that.

Thank you. I mean, don't talk to me about Only the Good Die Young by Billy Joel, because that's a Glee version that popped all the way fucking off. So good. And half the music I know that's like from, you know, the early 2000s or early, no, the 90s or earlier. Yeah. I only

know because of Glee oh my god that bottom girls you make the rocking world go round only because of Glee well that's not like a queen like top 10 hit you know I mean it was sung to me a lot growing up well you're 100 so that actually tracks and I've got a big ass general so oh that's why it was sung to you Exactly No I loved that song Even though like The guy who sang it

On the Glee version Was you know A child trafficking pedophile Can you even How dare he How dare he How dare he ruin everything I can't even watch

The show anymore Oh I can I can Oh god Whenever I see his character I'm like There's so many things On Glee

Oh wait sorry I was talking about The Sophia Richie wedding Because Oh yeah I didn't make it a story today but Me and Ben were just like speculating yesterday about You know Benji and Joel Madden were there

Because that's Nicole Richie's brother Wait I mean husband right but Benji and Joel yeah they invited Joel and Cameron Cameron yeah no kidding And so Ben is you know obsessed with emo music Just like your wife and we were dying to know Whether good Charlotte performed at the wedding And now we've gotten a lot of footage

and they performed at the after party lifestyle of the rich and the famous and everyone was like fucking like rocking out because that's their anthem. It looked so fun.

Ben was like actually having FOMO from a wedding he never would have been invited to. Was Julianne Hough there or did I make that up? You made that up. Thank God.

Why would she have been there? I don't know but there was somebody speaking in it like it was from behind blonde kind of had Julianne's voice I know I just feel like

Everyone in Hollywood Looks like Julianne Hough I agree And Lionel Richie We were speculating Whether he did sing Of course he did He has to

I think he sang while her And her husband Had their first dance Which is so sweet Very sweet I mean that So it's all about the It's like

Succession billionaire Status vibes only. What's the term? Stealth wealth. Nepo baby. Oh. Yeah, that too. What's stealth wealth?

I like that. Stealth wealth is like, okay, so you know in succession how like they don't, okay, remember that scene with Tom? Do you watch succession? Yes. I love it. But don't tell me about last night. No, I'm not.

I just want to say I just now figured out that Connor, the older brother, is the actor from Ferris Bueller. Did you know that? Of course, I'm a thousand. He's the one brother, is the actor from Ferris Bueller. Did you know that? Of course, I'm a thousand. He's the one whose dad has the red car, right? Yes. I had no idea. At my book club last night, everyone was talking about TV shows they've been watching.

Someone was like, can you believe that's the guy? I'm like, excuse me? Oh my God, were you shook? I had no idea. And that's like, I only recently found out that Tom Wamsgam is Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Tom. The Keira Knightley one.

Tom, Shiv's ex-husband. Yes, yes. I know who Tom is. Oh, wait. He plays Mr. Darcy in the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice. Tom. The Keira Knightley one. Tom, Shiv's ex-husband. Yes, yes. I know who Tom is. Oh, wait. He plays Mr. Darcy in the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice. Never heard of her. Wait, you never heard of Keira Knightley?

Never heard of any of it. Oh, at her Pride and Prejudice? Her is in the movie. Yeah, but like never saw it. Mr. Darcy. You know what? It's too bookie. By the way, I actually hate that film

and like my family loved it growing up and every time they would put it on, I'd be like, enough with this fucking movie. I'm going to blow this house up. But putting together that it was Tom Wamsgam was, was shocking for me. I'm sorry. Continue.

Also the dad is, do you know match point? It's a Woody Allen film. Of course I know match point. It's my favorite movie. I watch it every night. He is the dad of match point. I haven't seen that movie in forever.

So I only know Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers Yep he is everybody else's dad Not their dad He's like the father-in-law essentially Okay wait I have to watch Matchpoint That movie's such a like a fucking niche reference I watch it every single night fall asleep Really?

Isn't that psychotic? Wait is that Oh no it's not Kate Bosworth It's Scarlett Johansson I could not watch Kate Bosworth go to sleep No you would have nightmares Nightmares Okay so I'm sorry

Continue about Stealth Wealth Stealth Wealth So they're like now Nightmares. Okay, so I'm sorry. Continue about Stealth Wealth. Stealth Wealth. So they're like, now because of Succession, everyone's breaking down this idea of like Stealth Wealth. So remember the episode where Tom is coming for the girl with like the enormous purse? Her ludicrous, capacious purse. What does she have in there?

Flats for the subway? I'm like, bitch, yes. Okay, so it's all about how billionaires, like in subtle ways, they show you how rich they are, but like very quietly. Right, like having a big purse, which is seemingly innocuous. Right, so a very tiny purse says I'm rich

because like I don't need all my shit because it's in my car downstairs. Or like I just, I get driven everywhere. I don't need shoes for the subway. Or I don't need like a credit card. It's all on file. Exactly. But the number one thing is I don't need a jacket.

Why would you need a jacket to ruin your outfit it's so true you just get in the car and get out and so me and my poor ass jacket running around the city so true I actually never wear jackets and it's not because I'm a billionaire sadly it's because like I just can't but you're wearing one right now oh well this isn't like an outdoor jacket this is that's true stylish I could see Kendall wearing like a jacket like that I meant like weather jackets. Got you. Like that you take off that's not a part of your outfit. It could be snowing and I won't wear a jacket.

I can't be bothered. Stealth wealth. No, I wish. Just stealth stubbornness. Like I just can't. I'm like running. I just can't. It's like such a burden.

So now they're saying that the Richie wedding was very stealthy wealthy. It was very. But you know what For as much as it is Like this unattainable level of fame and money Yeah Something about it Maybe it was just like the way She was sharing so much on social media

Something about it felt like Extremely relatable in a sense I agree She's just like a regular girl She's not I mean yeah he's a billionaire But he's like a regular guy in a sense He's not famous

His dad and mom are a sir and a lady I know I saw that because she brought Her mom for the Vogue thing You know her all her dresses were made by Chanel and Vogue did the whole thing for the final fitting they did this video that was really cute um so she brought I think like her maid of honor or her friend or whatever and her mother-in-law and they were like this is my mother-in-law lady whatever I'm like lady does that mean does that title get passed on to Sophia and Elliot god I hope so For her sake That's fabulous She's so stunning

And I know that like That's how genetics work But she really looks like her dad It's crazy Like when they had the pictures Of them walking down the aisle They have the same exact face She's spectacular

You know I mean Really What an example of We can do whatever we want in life Yeah She was dating Scott Disick I mean

It's an example of You can do whatever you want in life When you have unlimited Like fame and wealth Right And that's just a small detail. I don't think we should just glaze over, you know? The nepo of it all.

Another element. I'm sorry we're talking about this, but I didn't make it a story, but it's like so in the. No, it's like it's truly everywhere right now. And something I'm loving seeing, I literally oftentimes forget that her and Nicole Richie are siblings and the way they have such a special bond. Like I didn't even really I never even think about them as siblings but Nicole Richie was posting so much she's like I love my sister so

much it was video like pictures from the photographer and Nicole Richie's just like had so many tears in her eyes and she's looking at her sister so lovingly it was really so sweet I literally forgot that they were siblings how many years apart like at least like 10 right more I love it that's how I feel about my little brother right I feel like Nicole Richie's I feel like Sophia is like 24 25 yeah and Nicole has to be in her 40s by now because Paris is when you have a sibling that's like 10 years or more like younger than you you feel like they're your actual baby yeah I actually call both my siblings Paige and Zach the kids how many age years Paige is like 7 and Zach's like 11 oh wow I know right yeah I guess there's also probably a period where you don't have much in common no because you're like I'm off in college and Zach's like 11. Oh, wow. I know, right? Yeah, I guess there's also probably a period where you don't have much in common.

No, because you're like, I'm off in college and he's like, you know. In middle school. 12. And then when they like grow up a little bit and you're grown, like you probably have like a renaissance, like you just love them, you know? Yeah, like let's smoke cigarettes. Right, right. Which is horrible to do as an older sister.

No, someone's got to do it. Don't tell my mom I said that. Well, does your mom Listen to the toast She will today If somebody tells her to I love your mom She's fab She's fab

Like I know what You're gonna sound like When you're 50 Or however old she is I already sound like her Because you have like This like kind of Sexy smoker's rasp

Thank you I love your sexy smoker You know Babsy Has not smoked a cigarette A day in her life She sounds like she does I know so that's So it's not my fault I sound like like this. You're predisposed.

And there's a lot of conflicting opinions on this whole Glenn Powell, Sidney Sweeney thing. Oh, okay.

Yes, go. by storm and there's a lot of conflicting opinions on this whole glenn powell sydney sweeney thing oh oh okay yes go so glenn powell and sydney sweeney are cozying up right after his girlfriend has unfollowed sydney sweeney okay so glenn powell and sydney sweeney looked extremely cozy at cinema con in las vegas on monday despite his longtime love unfollowing sophie so sydney sweeney on social media so glenn powell and sydney sweeney who attended the convention to promote their upcoming movie anyone but you couldn't keep their eyes off each other as they posed for photos on the red carpet in one eyebrow raising photo in particular sydney sweeney can be seen looking up at glenn powell and beaming as he looks at the cameras yeah and all this comes after like it's been like a couple of weeks of like really weird photos coming out of sydney sweeney and gl and Glenn Powell like abroad filming promoting and just like looking like a couple but everyone's like oh

that's cute they're really close co-stars because he obviously has his girlfriend Gigi Paris right but Gigi Paris yesterday or like two days ago unfollowed Glenn who she'd been dating since 2020 and then a spark speculation that they broke up and then um she unfollowed Sidney Sweeney so I mean there's definitely something going on you don't and then um she unfollowed sydney sweeney so i mean there's definitely something going on you don't unfollow your boyfriend unfollows big unfollows huge i know and so a lot of people are like shipping glenn powell and sydney sweeney yeah so hard that they don't even care that like maybe they cheated on this gg girl i feel like this is happening more and more and more we are like a a moralist society. You're so. We are a moralist society.

Yeah. Like nobody cares about the ethics because they're just so like obsessed. And by the way, I get it. Like Sidney Sweeney and Glenn Powell. I'm obsessed with this couple. Let me tell you why. I think this is exactly what Glenn Powell needs. Like Glenn Powell is like a movie star.

Yes. In the sense that he was in Top Gun. And he, you know, is a huge actor. And he gets. But he's not like so famous. You know what I mean? He's very recognizable. But yes, he's not. There's like an element to his fame and career that's missing something.

And I think it's like a star studded love affair. Yes. And Sidney Sweeney is the it girl of the moment right now. It girl. I'm obsessed with her. Last I heard, she was in like a long-term committed, almost, I think, engaged relationship to like some older nobody. And it was kind of like a letdown because it's like, girl, you're Sidney Sweeney.

Like go fuck Jacob Elordi or something like do something fabulous right so for both of these people in terms of a career i love it but there is an underlying ethical issue and how do we deal with it taylor you know it's just sad it's case by case it's like we know cheating is bad we like right now scandaval we are furious i know but you know there's an element i've been thinking a lot about Scandival recently. I don't think you're going to like what I have to say. I don't think I'm going to either. There's an element of Scandival that.

I mean I'm so team Ariana. It's disgusting. Like I'm not. I just need to get that out. Yes. But. And me and Jackie were talking about this. Because like in the coming weeks after Scandival.

There was an element of like ickiness. To how so many of the cast members were like piling on. To like an insane level. With their merch. And their podcasts. And. Yes. It just felt weird given you know there are a lot of people who believe that you know Ariana was the one who broke up Kristen and Tom and Kristen was the one who broke up Stassi and Jax and Lala was the one who broke up a full-blown marriage Sheena started this entire show by being the mistress in Eddie Cibrian and Brandi Glanville's marriage.

So it's a lot of like bitches in glass houses throwing hella stones. And that doesn't make what Raquel and Tom did better. It doesn't make it good. But I think everyone needs to take a hard long look in the mirror. I do find shreds of hypocrisy for sure. Well, and I also have talked about the fact that like why is this story like this big yeah because like you just said we have the Kristen and Jax we have the Sandoval and Ariana we have the Lala I mean you know she's since explained that and I do believe because

this recent episode of EPR I actually didn't watch the most recent episode but she's on this like war path of refusing to be called a mistress so she explains it what does she say it makes sense to me So okay There's this Spoiler It's fine Whatever

It's your fault You deserve to have it spoiled I'm late So Raquel Has this whole thing With Oliver Garcelle's son Yes

And it comes out That he's actually Still married Right And he told her He was not Anyway So they have dinner

They talk it through And he's kind of like Listen we are separated But yes Sometimes we take A step backwards Right She's like We have through. And he's kind of like, listen, we are separated, but yes, sometimes we take a step backwards. She's like, we have children together. So anyway, he kind of admitted like, yeah, they sleep together every now and then, but it doesn't mean they're back together and he still has his own place, whatever. So she kind of gets in the fold. And so Lala says

to her, like, you know what? Don't let anybody call you a mistress, which is like hilarious. Cause she literally three seconds before just called her a mistress. But I think what Lala understood was like, wait, so I did think that you were a mistress in the case of, or mistress vibes in the case of Katie and Schwartz. Because you were asked not to go there. But in the case of Oliver, who technically is married, not your fault, he didn't tell you. And she kind of said like, I got duped too.

Men are very good at pulling the wool over the other woman's eyes. Okay, well, that might be like a fair explanation. But it's also important to note that Lala slept with James while he was with Raquel so right right right I'm just saying the the underlying layers of hypocrisy run strong yes absolutely so that's you know that's just something I and I think that was actually what Tom Sandoval was trying to say when he did that how he mandel how he mandel interviewie mandel interview it was horrible for everybody involved it was an it was an embarrassment

embarrassment i don't know who i was most embarrassed for i think i think howie i think howie's daughter you know she was the only one

that knew what the hell was going on though right and she let the whole charade go on without pressing any howie has no idea who any of these people are i can't even blame him

for like letting tom sandoval spew his lies because he doesn't know what we know. She should have been like, dad, shut up and let me take the lead. I know. So I actually blame her the most if I'm going to be honest, but that's not the point. I weirdly blame Howie the most. Yeah. He said so many offensive things too. He really did. Like the whole time. I did love though that he went on this tangent about how is Tom Schwartz not Jewish? Because I have often thought about that too. I know, but like, it was just, wasn't it a lot?

All of it. No, it didn't bother me, the Jewish stuff. Because honestly, the first few years of watching the show, I just assumed Tom Schwartz was Jewish. Hilarious. And nobody talks about that. Like, how do you have the last name Schwartz? It's a good point.

That's like your name being Barbara Goldstein and you're telling me you're not Jewish. I wish it were. I know. Isn't that weird? Yeah, that's a very good point. You're right. By the way,

total tangent, but like, I guess we make any excuse on this podcast to talk about your ex-marriage. Yes, please. Did it ever occur to you to keep your married last name?

Were you ever Taylor whatever that last name was? We can't say it out of respect. Okay. Because I'm so respectful. Yeah, and also, I know you love being Jewish

and it was a Jewish last name. It was a very Jewish last name. You could have just- So much so that he, when we were like traveling, like we wanted to go to Dubai yeah and he was like honestly with our last names we can't this was a different time yeah but like you concur that that's a thing a lot of people are very trepidatious it's like sex in the city she goes by Charlotte York Golden Blatt she's like it's the Middle East it's the new Middle East

it's the Middle East exactly so yeah but it was definitely identifiably Jewish. Yes, yes. I actually never got around to changing my name because your girl hates paperwork. The same, by the way. I've never changed my name. But I, but like for a while I did have this weird hybrid. When we got married, I changed my name like at town hall to Taylor. Ashley's my middle name and then his last name. Right.

But like, why wouldn't I do Taylor Strecker his last name? Anyway. Yeah. Thank God I never finished it because then post-divorce more paperwork no I was just curious and also his last name um from a pop culture standpoint is not really bad yeah that's such a good point so thank god I didn't change it because I would have definitely had to change it back such a good point right um okay so back to Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney like while I do ship I think it's important to acknowledge how infidelity is wrong. No, yeah, it's wrong, but I'm still here for them.

I know. We make exceptions for people that we like. I know. I kind of, like, I'm obsessed with this couple. Like, they're so good looking. They're both rising stars. I love it. They're both going to be, like, huge.

Like, you know, they're going to be, I'm just obsessed. Like, I feel bad. I know, for her. Yeah. And that's the thing, too. Like, you, it's like, you get besmirched by somebody doing I feel bad. I know for her. Yeah. And that's the thing too. Like you, it's like you get besmirched by somebody doing that to you.

I know. And then no one cares because they're so happy for Sydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell. It's actually really sad. That's like my biggest fear is like Tay and I don't make it. She like leaves me for somebody else.

You? I'm so down. And people are like, fuck Taylor Stryker. This is amazing. Yeah, no. Like if me and Taylor Donahue Ever did get together

Like no one would Really feel bad for you Because it would be Like new power couple Literally You can get together With Ben though You guys really

Fine I'll take Ben You guys really do Get along so well I love Ben I just feel like At some point We all need to like Live in a commune together

It would just be So much better You know we've talked About this with my Sister and brother-in-law Who you're obsessed with Oh they can come too I'm obsessed with Taylor

Donahue's sister They've been dead ass About it Like Ben literally said to me we're um out for Halloween in Brooklyn Heights yeah and he's like not my Ben her brother-in-law my brother-in-law and he was like these houses are sick and he's like hey if we take my money and your money we get something fucking sick no and then if I join we can get another house we could really get something like three people is better than two we get like a castle in Kentucky where Jackson Brittany got married it's just like, that's not the, that's not the not fun part of being an adult.

It's like, you can't just like live with your friends, but like who says, I know let's do it. I'm so down. I'm like, wherever we end up living, like we all just have to like live on the same block,

you know? Okay. So let's talk. Let's talk. Well, can I get you to move to new hope? Tay is dead set on new Hope. I'm sorry. Well, then the talk is over.

There's no, like, I'm really limited in where I can move because there has to be like a thriving Jewish community. That is absolutely fair. So I know your in-laws live in New Jersey. I would go to New Jersey in a second. Okay. There's many good Jewish schools and Jewish communities and temples. The Hamptons? Kosher restaurants.

The Hamptons? The Hamptons is very Jewish. West Hampton specifically. Maybe we can start with like a vacation property together. By the way, I love that idea. We'll have to figure out how like the tax situation works.

But you do realize that usually like real estate with friends and family is a thing that tears everybody apart. Oh, is it? Why? Because of money? It's like the number one thing. Really?

Yeah. It's like an old wives tale. Like do not. Go into real estate with friends? Ever. If you love people Family friends don't It will ruin your relationship That is so interesting

But I feel like we're Better than that I feel like we're beyond that Next thing you know We're not talking to each other In five years Okay are you ready For our next story

Yes please Some drama Did you see this Morgan Wallen thing No So he basically He's on an arena tour He's playing

Sorry excuse me Stadiums Like 60,000 people Okay And he was in Mississippi And he has three opening acts Everyone is seated The three opening acts go

Three opening acts is a lot I know But for a stadium tour It's actually not Okay It's his turn to go Literally the screens light up Sorry

Show's canceled People have been there for hours Watching the opening acts Getting merch Buying drinks They're sitting in the seats And the show is canceled Which is really unheard of How dare you People have been there for hours watching the opening acts, getting merch, buying drinks. They're sitting in the seats and the show is canceled, which is really unheard of. How dare you?

Like we were going off on Adele for canceling her residency like a couple of days before, maybe a week. And I mean, this is next level. What happened? So there were a lot of speculation about what actually happened. His line and his statements were like he lost his voice. He was working all day with doctors, doing all these things, getting his voice back. And he was up until the very last minute trying to you know get his voice back and and he couldn't okay if true is understandable right i mean you really if your voice is wonky you got to cancel the morning of but whatever there were a lot of

rumors very unfounded like you know people at the stadium who were working security basically saying he was wasted people said they saw him at a bar before. None of that is founded on anything, but it's really easy to believe given his problematic background. He's our problematic country king. Right. And now he's being sued for canceling that Mississippi concert minutes before showtime. By the venue?

No, by fans. That's a thing? I don't know. So a Morgan Wallen fan. We live in a crazy world. I know. It's like if this actually. Class action lawsuit. That's what it is. Shut the fuck up. So if it Wallen fan. We live in a crazy world. I know. It's like if this actually. Class action lawsuit.

That's what it is. Shut the fuck up. So if it actually like happens, it sets a precedent for a lot of people. Yeah. And I was just thinking because we were talking last week when you were on the toast about Frank Ocean canceling. Yeah. That was like five or six days, maybe a week.

But people did buy tickets for him. So wait, riddle me this. So had he canceled the day of like the morning of right because I remember Britney Spears did that to me and I was devastated so sorry it was K-Fed's fault it was but like I certainly didn't file a class action lawsuit because I'm not a loser right um but I do feel like that's like so crazy to me well let me give you the details I'm like enraged for for us right the industry but the thing is is like had he canceled the morning of all the britney for me it's like so you don't have to physically get yourself there go and can you get

your tickets back but that's the thing just because an artist cancels no matter how much time they give you like um jan jackson canceled because she was pregnant right at the age of 85 right and then she but she was like oh yeah well i'll rebook it and so like we couldn't get refunded so i hate when people do that. That happened to me and Kelly Clarkson's Las Vegas residency. And then because of COVID, she ended up canceling the whole thing. So we actually got our money back. I think a full year later.

But it depends what the artist wants to do. They sometimes reschedule like immediately. Like the next date is June. Your tickets will be valid then and you can't get a refund. For this thing, he said all tickets will be refunded at point of purchase then what so let me tell you so a morgan wallen fan is suing the country singer on monday for canceling a concert minutes before showtime brandy birchman filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of herself and other similar similarly situated patrons who attended wallen's show in oxford mississippi on sunday only to be told at the 11th hour that he had lost his voice

birchum the woman suing, said in court documents obtained by Page Six that while the venue promised refunds at point of purchase, hers had yet to be issued when she filed the complaint. Okay, I mean, it's been two days. I mean, it takes, what, five to seven business days?

I mean, my MetroCard didn't work and I just bought it the other day and, like, I have to mail it in, like, Dems are the brakes. No, that's, like, how banks work. You can't get a refund before like five or seven days, but whatever. She said, even if ticket prices are refunded,

no offer has been made to reimburse concert goers for other out-of-pocket expenses they incurred in connection with the concert cancellation, including transportation, lodging, food, merchandise sales, transaction fees, and other such expenses. Well, merch is a choice. Well, it's not a necessity.

So here's the thing she's suing for breach of contract and negligence in addition to demanding a trial by jury i hate her so the thing is is i don't know what do we chalk this up to do we chalk this up to you know like life sucks and life is unfair and yeah you got a sitter for a show that ended up being canceled or are we then no you know i I was displaced. There should be someone to blame. I don't know. Like, what are, is this a legal issue or is this just, you know, a hard knock life?

This girl is like a total spoiled brat. She's distressed like energy. Like her privilege is like shooting out of her butthole. Like, oh my God. Like that's life. Shit happens. It is. But like part of me also sympathizes with like a couple, a couple who got a sitter,

maybe went away for the weekend, got a hotel, spent money on merch and drinks for a concert and then didn't end up needing the merch or the drinks because the concert never happened. Well, it's like, yeah, that sucks. And so do I just chalk that up to like, you know what, life is unfair

and sometimes things happen or it's like, no, you know what? I was put out. I want my money back. Here's the thing. So like, you know, the girl with Ade i want my money back here's the thing so like you know the girl um with adele i think i brought this up last time and she um was in vegas and it was like her fifth time trying to see adele and she had flown there and then literally the

minute she landed it got canceled yes and she was like she did a whole tiktok it was hilarious but she was like not again like this poor girl could not catch a break when it came to adele right and the amount of money she spent traveling in the world, hotels, the whole shebang. So like my heart went out to her specifically. If she had done this, I might have been like, okay, fine. Yeah, she has every right. But like, and I get this. Like, yes, if you have to pay for flights and for like hotels, that's insane.

Babysitters. Like if Beyonce does this when people are like traveling all over the world for her. Right. And this is the type of concert like people can't get tickets to. It's insanely expensive. So like people are traveling far and wide to go so like yes i understand that portion but like girl you lost me on the merch and the drinks the thing is like just because you bought merch and the concert didn't happen

doesn't mean you can't still wear the merch i understand like being annoyed paying for drinks it's like i got drunk for a show and now i just have to drive home there'll be a bank i get drunk everywhere so like same same like i'm gonna be getting drunk no matter where I am. Yeah. I don't know. And I'm not a lawyer. I don't know if from a legal standpoint, this has like any like, she has to lose. She will lose because I do think it sets like a crazy precedent. Well then nobody's going to want to perform anymore because like then they're liable for all these people. That's insane. Because shit really does happen. Like, you know, Shawn Mendes recently canceled a big tour. Like, Justin Bieber canceled his whole tour because of his Ramsey Hunt syndrome. Like, people are human.

They get sick. They get, you know, mental health crises. Like, these things happen. And I think you're more susceptible to these things when you're traveling nonstop, working, performing, streaming for other people. Of course. You're susceptible to losing your voice. So I do think if this were to actually, like, he would, like, actually get sued, I do think

it sets a really bad precedent. Horrible. And here's the thing too. But that's not to say what he did was like it was unequivocally wrong. I'm sorry. You owe people more than five minutes notice. I agree. But then also like if he was refusing to refund ticket sales then yes like get him.

Yeah. But this I mean he's doing good by you. Okay but how does it work when you are refunding everyone for the show but like let's say i bought my tickets on stephub like from some guy right do i get a refund good question i know because most people like actually don't buy their tickets on ticketmaster i feel like when a stadium tour goes live half the tickets get sold to scalpers and box and they resell them and people buy resold tickets right but see this is the issue it's like the way i feel about health care insurance companies are the devil not the doctors like the way I feel about healthcare. Insurance companies are the devil.

Not the doctors versus the patients. It's true. Now we're like artists versus the fans. Yeah. It's the ticket people. I mean, you're 100% right

because everyone should just be able to buy tickets directly from the artist. And so when they do a refund, it's not a big deal. Exactly. Totally. I hate this woman, by the way.

You hate Brenda? I hate Brenda. You're not Brenda. Her name's Brandy. And I'll never forget. She's giving Brenda energy. Brandy, you're not into you're not giving brandy bircham energy today no i'm not okay it's good yeah it's giving like distressed energy yeah exactly today's episode is brought to you by skylight frames with mother's day and father's day coming up are you ready to be the favorite child and get the best gift ever so with the new skylight digital photo frame it'll

He's feeling grateful for all the support he's gotten as he is resuming filming for the movie Rust,

which is the movie where Helena Hutchins was shot and killed. I'm kind of surprised they didn't just say the movie's done. I mean, it's not like it's a big blockbuster. It's like an independent crap movie. Like, why are they finishing this movie? I just, I think, you know, him with the charges,

I think it was a lot. I'm relieved for him and his family. You know, I'm sad for the victim's families because I know that they need closure, but I don't know that him going to prison for that was necessarily the closure. I agree. Like, I'm like hating Alec Baldwin because I think the way he's handled this has been

like so disrespectful. Yep. And him and his wife like talking to paparazzi and just like being really, I just feel like they could be way more gracious for the woman who very tragically lost her life. And while it wasn't Alec's fault, he literally, you know, held the gun. So I don't think he bears any legal responsibility. I don't think he deserves to go to jail. But I'm really just like, I'm like offended by how kind of gross he's been acting, especially

his wife. They have big victim energy. Yeah. Major. Yeah. Yep. So I don't know why this film has to resume. And he posted on his Instagram.

He just finished filming a movie called Supercell. He said, I just filmed Supercell in Billings and now I'm outside of Bozeman to complete Rust. Montana is stunning. I'm grateful for all the support I have received here. And this comes on the heels of the Santa Fe County District Attorney's Office dropping the charges against him without prejudice. So he was initially facing up to five years in prison, but he got a major legal victory when the DA's office announced that they were dropping the gun enhancement charges against him in February. I still feel like there's something. There's such a weird element to this story. And I don't think charging Alec was a way to get down to the bottom of how a live bullet got on set.

Agreed. But I hope this isn't the end. I know. I just feel like it's in such poor taste to continue the movie. I know. If they could do it. Who would want to see this movie? Not I.

After some. A mother. A young mother. Yeah. Who the fuck to see this movie? Not I. After a mother, a young mother. Yeah. Who the fuck cares? To be honest, I didn't want to see the movie ever. Before the tragedy. You're so right. If it's a Western, I'm out.

If it's a Western, I'm out. If it's an independent Western, I'm definitely out. And honestly, Alec Baldwin, he's had some great films. I know. I don't think he's like a great actor of our time I just watched It's Complicated The best movie ever He's actually

I'm sorry He's amazing in that He's so to die for in that I know He actually looks like handsome I know Do you watch 30 Rock? I actually just recently started

And it's everything It's the best show on television It's so good And he's amazing in it Amazing He's amazing in it I know But beyond that

Sorry he's not a great actor I'm very conflicted When it comes to him I am too Because I'm so in love With 30 Rock And I loved his character And I love it's complicated

So I definitely feel like You know a kinship Yes A spirited you know connection But in recent years He's especially with his wife He's just become so God damn annoying

She is his Achilles heel A hundred percent I think he's always been teetering Remember the fat little pig comment No what was it A thoughtless little pig Thoughtless little pig But um

Beating up the paparazzi I think he's used Oh yeah that too For the phobic slurs Like he has A crazy problematic history But he's just One of those people

Where like people Don't seem to care Right But then it's like Other people do one thing A million years ago And like you can't let it go It's so interesting

How we like treat every Yeah Quote unquote cancellation And scandal so differently just double standards based on how we feel about the person literally and i feel like when a woman does something like we never let it go it's 10 000 times worth it's what they're known for when on a rider will forever be a klepto well yeah she did steal that shit so but so what no i'm kidding i'm totally kidding you're right like we like treat certain people And their scandals So differently I know it's crazy

Like I mean Chris Brown Is my favorite example Jesus I mean he's out here Selling out arenas And it's all women going I'll never understand

Some bitches Like I know Some bitches be dumb Some bitches be dumb Some bitches Like I have friends Like people I know

Who like love Chris Brown I'm like you're disgusting Really Yeah Someone we know I'll tell you after No way Who I'll tell you after okay I'm so excited to judge them um Alec Baldwin wishing you the best I feel like definitely a break would be good yeah I'm always for people taking breaks like you know

in the public space a break never hurt anybody no and I think Hillary, I won't dignify her fraudulent background by calling her Ilaria. Hillary and Alec need, you know, they have a lot of money. They need to just go to the Hamptons or something and chill. Play with their kids. They've got a thousand. A thousand. They just need a major break. Yep.

Next up, a little potential casting news when it comes to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I think I might have heard this one. Paula Abdul says she has been asked to join Real Housewives many, many times. No way. So Paula Abdul revealed to Page Six that she's been approached repeatedly by Bravo, and she didn't necessarily shut down the possibility of ever conceding. She said, I've been asked many, many times. She was actually asked by Page Six on a red carpet for the Homeless Not Toothless Hollywood Gala.

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. Where cameras were rolling for the 13th season of Beverly Hills Housewives all the ladies were there and Paula Abdul was like a guest of honor I die for Paula Abdul I love her so much so the pop star said that the series was a top contender but it's not the only one she's been asked but she definitely like has a special place in her heart for Beverly Hills which other ones has she been asked I don't know maybe New York like franchises. She said some other franchises too, but I'm not going to tell you which. I bet OC.

Is she down there? Maybe she has like a beach house. Yeah, I could see that. I don't think she would be good with those ladies. No, no, no. She'd be terrible. They're so lowbrow. Yeah, I agree.

She said she's friends with a lot of the women and has been for a long time, but she enjoys being a viewer for now. I get that. She said, as much as I'm absolutely the biggest fan and I love watching, it's a lot of drama. She said she's no stranger To the drama

You know because she was On American Idol Right Yada yada And now we have pictures Of her You know she's friends With Kathy Hilton

She runs in a fabulous circle I'm sure a lot of the women Know her Especially now through Her charity work With Homeless Not Toothless The dumbest name For a charity

Ever Ever She is probably Friends with Dorit And Kyle Yep I love that That they're filming

At the Homeless Not Toothless Gala I love that it's now Become like a staple I know Of the brand Because I remember Thinking like

This is a nice concept But what a dumb name The worst name ever And Queen Kathy Hilton Who couldn't say it right Calling it Toothless Not Homeless Or Toothless and Homeless

Finally It was like the elephant In the room Nobody wanted to say it because it's like disrespectful to like talk about a charity like that. But like it's stupid. It's moronic but I guess in like a branding sort of way now it's genius. Kind of iconic. Exactly.

And I guess a lot of people did like research into the charity after their stint on Housewives and they have like an a grade like they grade the financials of a lot of big time and they have like an a grade like they grade the financials of a lot of um big time and they have like an f oh yeah i don't know if it's like the most ethical organization oh my god wait paula i adore yeah i interviewed her on serious oh what was she like i feel like she has a lot of energy i played this game and i think okay my mom called me the other day and she was like i want you to bring This game back And put it on TikTok Okay You'll tell me the truth

If my mom's being ridiculous So it's called Name That Tay Tay Tune This is a legit game We used to play On Sirius on the show Okay Where I would like

Sing songs Like pop songs But I don't know The words to anything Oh okay So I just make them up So basically It's like gibberish singing

Yeah And so people would have To guess the song I was trying to sing Can you do one for me Like okay I'm trying to think Of like a song

Okay so like You know how Zendaya Just performed a Coachella Yeah And so people would have to guess the song I was trying to sing. Can you do one for me? Like, okay. I'm trying to think of like a song. Okay. So like, you know how Zendaya just performed a Coachella? Yeah. And she did like that amazing song. You know, it goes like, Oh, skim it off. Scoop it up.

You know that one? Yeah, that's how it goes actually. But wait, I want to guess. Like do one. Don't tell me what it is. And I'll try and guess what song it is. Okay. Think of like a song that's popular right now. So I'm going to do.

Okay. Don't tell me what it is. I don't know any popular songs right now well then how are you gonna do tate tatoos but like i used to do hey i'm gonna do what i used to do it's old okay that's fine it's a deep track okay okay honey potato in the piss of a peso. I have quite literally no idea. Lips of an angel. With the lips of. I actually hear it now. You do?

I think it could be. I think it could be good on the talk. Your mom's not entirely wrong. Okay. So Paula came in. Oh, yeah. And we did a name that take to tune of her catalog exclusively. And she had to guess the songs I was singing.

And she loved it more than anything in the world. She did. She was dying laughing. Okay. And it more than anything in the world she did she was dying laughing okay and it made me fall in love with her I might be like really out of pocket here but like what's a Paula Abdul song oh my god want me to sing it for real or want me to sing it for real like I don't think she's a cold-hearted snake oh look into his eyes for real give me another one um do do you love me Do do you love me Baby

Straight up now tell me My first and And really only Sort of Interaction with Paul Abdul I'm dead Was American Idol When I was a kid

And I knew that she was Like an old singer I don't know a single One of her songs Oh my god She has the best songs ever She reminds me a lot Of Janet Jackson

Yeah well she was Her lead choreographer For like Ever and Ever and Ever Oh and is that how She got famous Yes exactly And then she Janet Jackson Yeah well she was her lead choreographer For like Ever and Ever and Ever Oh and is that how she got famous? Yes exactly And then she started singing? Yeah but she could like sing on the side Wow

Yeah Paula's a queen I don't think I need her on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills though Because you don't want her to be like ruined? Not only that but like she is at a place Where she's still very much a star and an icon And she has like a legacy to protect And people like that who go on the show and they don't give much.

And she's kooky. So I feel like they could really take that and like tarnish her reputation. Yeah. And she won't do she won't get in the mud because she has too much to lose. You're right. You're right. Like somebody like who has a recognizable name but doesn't have a lot to lose is a great addition to a Housewives franchise because they need to get back on top denise richards is allegedly coming back as a friend

i know i mean now that now that lisa's gone it's like a safe space for her right i loved denise and i wish she fought harder she just kind of conceded and gave in because she was not in the mood to do this i do think it was all true though for For sure. My point was never, is it true or not? It was that it's nobody's business. She basically outed two women, which is really unethical. Yeah. It's bad.

We're talking a lot about ethics today. I know. Look at that theme. Ethical Queens. All right. Speaking of our fifth and final story. Well, that wasn't a segue.

I don't know how I'm going to segue it, but Patty LuPone is attacking another woman again. She's like always in the news for attacking another woman. I stop. She's like kind of pissing me off. Okay. So she's slamming Kim Kardashian now for being cast in American Horror Story. Yes.

So she went on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday and Andy Cohen asked her if she gives a damn about Kim Kardashian being cast in the American Horror Story franchise. She said, yes, I do. Andy said, you don't like it, do you? She said, no, I don't. Why? She's taking a role away from actors. Excuse me.

This is what, her words, not mine. Excuse me. Excuse me, Kim. You know what you're doing with your life? Don't get on that stage, Miss Worthington, which is apparently a reference to an English playwright, whatever. She said, Kim is among the biggest and brightest television, oh no, sorry.

That's what Ryan Murphy had said, that she's, they created this role for her. She's the biggest, brightest television star, and they're so excited to welcome her. And Patti LuPone went on Watched Happens Murphy had said, that they created this role for her. She's the biggest, brightest television star, and they're so excited to welcome her. And Patti LuPone went on Watched Happens Live and said, she's taking a role away. She shouldn't be on the screen. She doesn't know what she's doing.

Here's the thing. The energy's not nice, and I don't like it, and the delivery was not well done, but I do kind of, I can see and understand and agree with this mentality of, I feel like the acting world, every, actually, avenue in the entertainment industry I do kind of, I can see and understand and agree with like this mentality of like, I feel like the acting world, every actually avenue in the entertainment industry is getting saturated with like a lot of these people who are famous for not necessarily having

like a skill set and they make a lot of money doing that. Well, so that's what Jackie and I were always saying is like, when it comes to, you know, entertainment journalism. Yes. That's not really a job anymore because it's actors and models who do you know laverne cox vanessa hudgens they're doing red carpets it's not right the entertainment journalists of your juliana rancic ryan seacrest kat sadler jason kennedy people who were famous for being journalists yes so it's not just acting it's it's a trend in

all fields yes so for patty lapone to and by the way this is like not the first time patty lapone has attacked another woman so she notoriously made fun of madonna yep um for her role of uh ava perrone in evita yep when it was made into a film she also criticized uma thurman for her broadway performance saying i don't necessarily need to see film actors on stage because they can't not in my country they can't can I just say Uma Thurman and the Parisian women did anybody see it holy shit I'm sorry oh she's like an she's an she's kind of like a vicious like wench like and always going after other women she's miserable and jealous there's a conversation to be had for sure about like reality stars doing acting and then influencers doing journalism there's a conversation to be had. It's happening.

You know, influencers are now boxers. Like it's happening in every single field. Right. There's a lot of cross-pollination. So we can have a conversation about how, you know, certain careers are being depleted. We can have a conversation about that. But for Patti LuPone, it just seems like a trend where she's like kind of threatened by other people. A thousand percent.

Because Patti LuPone was in American Horror Story or Crime Story. She was in one of them. So she's just like constantly going after other women and it's giving like victim energy. I really don't like this. Yeah, I don't like it either. She's clearly like not in a good place in her career. She's not happy with the way things are going. And she's lashing out because she's jealous and miserable.

And she's like a legendary Broadway queen. Like she has a beautiful legacy. Like this is what she's going to be Broadway queen. Like she has a beautiful legacy. Like this is what she's going to be known for, for like just attacking other people. I know. You know what's interesting though? It makes me go like,

wow, she must really like be in dire straits financially. Because what else would drive you to be so bitter constantly? And then it's like, well, there's something wrong with that too. Yeah. Like, you know, like let us pay our theater actors. Yeah. Because there is an issue with this. Yeah.

No, theater actors don't get paid nearly enough for how much work that they do, like eight shows a week. Yeah. I recently was privy to some information about somebody who does a brilliant job in that space. And what they get paid is a goddamn sin. I know. So maybe this is less about Patti LuPone hating women and more about her like hating the theater industry. is less about Patti LuPone hating women and more about her like

hating the theater industry. Well I will say like when people like Patti LuPone and other you know actual big name stars then go to Broadway or either go back to Broadway

they're not getting paid what Broadway actors are getting paid. They're getting paid what they're due as a celebrity like Jessica Chastain is now in a doll's house.

When you have like a name you get paid paid but the other actors don't. I bet Patti's worth way less than we would ever think. I agree. Yeah. She's remained pretty loyal to the theater.

And she's very bitter. She's very bitter. Yep. And I just feel like these days, like people who like are going to attack Kim, there's things you want to disagree with the Kardashians on and you can have a worthy conversation about Balenciaga. Sure. But like this is just like such a low blow.

It's like everyone does this and it's like. Yep. I don't know. this is just like such a low blow it's like everyone does this and it's like yeah I don't know it's just like so unoriginal well the thing is too Patti you're a star like you get it on TikTok yeah like you're fabulous yeah you would thrive so like she's kind of refusing to evolve so she should get into the space that she's not in yeah where she's mad that people are coming into her space that's really the fix that's the best way to get revenge yes Patti I don't think Patty's going to take any of our advice. Zero.

Zero. She a toaster? Nah. Not even close. Taylor, I love having you on the toast. I love coming on the toast. If you guys enjoy Taylor,
