Welcome back to the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday. That should be cause to celebrate, latter half energy. But something major has happened in my life. I don't even know if I've told you about this, Jax. Hey Jax, how you doing? I'm doing good. What's happened that could mess with this Thursday energy?

My husband has a cough. Oh. this Thursday energy. My husband has a cough. Oh. The marital bed has become a sort of personal hellscape. The cough is actually ruining my family. It's ruining my life. The cough woke me up in the middle of the night. It sounded like a high pitched screech.

And then I was up for two hours just like chilling. I cannot with you guys. I seriously cannot. First of all, I think much like other women- Don't say you guys. No, no, no, because it's like he does something that he's so wrong for. He's impossibly wrong.

Like you're coughing in my house. Like you're screaming. You're screaming about everything. I didn't scream. I didn't scream. It's so crazy. It's the time in your pregnancy where you and your husband need separate bedrooms.

Or a voir husband. I did chat with him this morning about leaving the marital bed and what that means for our future. Now he was absolutely devastated. He was shocked to hear me say that. I'm like, you are supposed to be my partner in all of this, right?

And you are now actively like an obstacle in my rest. And the rest of your child, the baby was kicking all night. The baby was very disturbed by what was going on in my home. Of course, Papa's sick. He said, is that a cough? Yucky.

That's what the baby said to me in the middle of the night. So I told Ben, I'm like, listen, you are no longer helping your hurting. You're no longer welcome. It's time for you to leave the marital bed. And once he heard that, like he's been like sucking on lozenges and honey and tea all morning. Cause one he heard that, like he's been like sucking on lozenges and honey and tea all morning.

Cause one thing about Ben, like he loves our bed. And we are- Literally I don't care. We are not the type of couple who like really ever sleeps in separate beds. Like for good reasons or bad, like if we have a fight, sorry, we're sleeping in the same bed. Like we're two, we both love our bed so much.

If Ben like, you know, has to wake up really early, he won't sleep in the guest room. We don't fuck with the guest room. We love our bed. It's a foreign concept to you, but you do have a pullout couch. I do. It's really beautiful.

And I think it's time. It's disturbing your sleep. This is a very normal thing that happens. It's time. We can't go through this every night. Here comes goodbye. We have a story today by way of rascal flats that I am quaking in my boots.

I have a lot of thoughts on it too as well. With love rascal. With love rascal. You look so cute, that set that you're wearing I actually ordered. And ordered it a while ago cause I wore this like a few weeks ago. Yeah, I don't know if you saw I've been wearing the pants

quite a lot because they fit. No, I didn't see the cardigan is small, snug. Like when I got it, I was like, oh my God, I'm a wild beast. This doesn't even close. Yeah, no, it's it's actually a sweater that makes you want to kill yourself. But when you look at the model, like it's super it's meant to be like cinched, cinched and like tight and worn model, like it's super, it's meant to be like- Cinched. Cinched and like tight and worn high

and it's fucking weird. It's certainly not for me during this time in my life, but I did hold onto it. Mostly like I've been, I haven't shopped at all. And if anything doesn't even remotely make me feel good, I throw it right back in the box. But I don't know, I thought that this particular cardigan would be an emblem of hope and optimism for the future.

It's not. Why? This cardigan? Yeah, like one day. No, cause it's not even about that you're pregnant. It's the way that the cardigan is. No Jackie, it's an emblem of the future. You need a better emblem, I'm telling you.

I actually have a closet full of emblems. I don't know why I decided to keep this one, but I look at it every day and I say, you are my future, happily. It's also like you buy it as a set so you couldn't send back the sweater without the pants. Yes you can, they were separate. They were?

Cause I bought it in Navy too and I wasn't keeping two emblems. Oh, Navy's cute. Maybe I should get that one. Yeah, so like big shopaholic over here. What's new with you? We haven't even chatted since yesterday. I know what's new with me.

Well, Red Heads is up. So after you listen to the toast head over to the Red Heads for a fantastic episode, like seriously, hilarious girls just having a lot with you. So a lot's new with me because I was editing that yesterday. I watched even more TV because I watched Summer House, which I was so excited to watch. Then I went back to WLM. Has anybody made it to the eighth episode?

Yeah, this girl I follow on TikTok who does like really, she's British too. She did. Really scathing takedowns of everyone. And she happens to really like Meghan and did a pretty critical take of the show while being respectful, course um and she's as far as I know the only person who watched I don't know anyone personally who's made it to the eighth episode I'm also important to know you don't know a lot of people personally that's not true like that you would chat about

this with it's like pretty much this is like all I chat with this is all I have any people This is like all I chat with people. This is all I chat with people. How many people? I don't know. Why are you coming after me? No, no, I'm not coming after you. And my circle of friends. I'm just saying, we're not, you and I both,

we're not like, you know, the girls with a million friends. No, but every clip that I've seen is from an episode I've already seen. I've yet to see one clip from like the eighth episode. Past, yeah. Who's the guest? Like, I don't know anything.

I'm not sure other than that girl that anyone has made it there. I plan to make it there. I think I'm on, I finished episode five last night. She had her two friends on who we recognize from her documentary. One of them was on Suits. Did you ever watch Suits?

Yeah. So who was it? Abigail Spencer. She's like black hair. No. Is she black or white? She's white. So not Donna.

Well, maybe she doesn't have red hair. Yeah, she has black hair. She's black of hair now. Abigail Spencer. Do you feel like talk to Texas getting worse? Oh, of course. Abigail Spencer. She's not, she was actually like really kind of a light

guest cameo on a couple episodes. She was super bubbly. I liked her on the episode. She's a cutie. She's like a working actress. She's not super, she's like a recognizable fudge. Yeah. Oh my God. I mean, she was with another friend

and the three of them were giving the three friends for White Lotus. Like sitting around just talking about the importance of female friendships at this stage of our lives. Like it was seriously comedic. Honestly sounds like Summer House, which we're going to get into, but Summer House was also giving the importance of our lives. Like it was seriously comedic. Honestly sounds like Summer House, which we're gonna get into, but Summer House was also giving the importance

of female friendships. Yes, in a way that I didn't realize was happening. Like, of course I knew that like Paige is super close with Hannah and close with Amanda on the show. I didn't watch during the years when they were a threesome. I didn't watch the year that Hannah was fired. So like, I didn't know that Paige was dealing with all of this.

And I've always thought like, oh, it's probably weird that she's so close with Hannah and Hannah has beef with Kyle, but like that's, oh,'t know that Paige was dealing with all of this. And I've always thought like, oh, it's probably weird that she's so close with Hannah and Hannah has beef with Kyle, but like that's, oh, you know, coincidence. I didn't realize how much it informs her life. And it's also something they've never really talked about. So last night was kind of a big episode, one, cause it was entertaining and there was a big blowup,

but because this like big elephant and this line that Paige walks, and when she was like, Giggly Squad is my whole life. And I literally come to this house for two months and I can't even talk about it. I actually, it was a long overdue them addressing this huge elephant in the room. And I think also with this,

I feel, and this is just a feeling that I have based on I feel like one time when Hannah and Paige were talking about it, I feel like Paige looks back on that time with a little bit of regret, not defending Hannah as much as she could have. And I think that like last night's episode was her sort of resurrecting that

and like she's not gonna let it happen again with Craig. But now it's all moot. Now it's, oh yeah, now it's all moot with Craig. But I also think like things have aged well for Hannah where it's like not unpopular to say like you were wrong. Like, you know. The thing is with Hannah. Hannah didn't like fall out of the Bravo universe.

No, no, no, no. And Hannah like stands on her own two feet, but like the, the summer house community and people who love their podcast, like the line is it's like, these are two different people. It's not like we look back at Hannah's episodes and are like, oh, she was wronged for that. No, everyone's like holding space for two things.

You know what I mean? That's funny. Is she two different people? Like is skiggly, like was she not able to be herself like that when she was on the show? Do you have a different impression? I actually didn't watch Hannah's season, but it's pretty much understood

like she was the woat on the season, which like everyone's entitled to. Look at very Cavalieri Shannon Ford. Just because you're a vote on reality TV, does that make you a bad person? And then I think people got to see the real Hannah on her podcast and that's why she's had so much success with her comedy and stuff.

But it's not like we're going back and being like, no, we were seeing it wrong back then. No, she was like a shit starter and she was like, you know, whatever. So we'll get into that, we'll get into that. Yeah, so that's what I did last evening. I watched Summer House and I also watched a little bit of Desperate Housewives.

I caught up with some friends over dinner. I had a kosher hamburger, it was partilish. And yeah, just like kind of a regular night for a regular girl. We're so regular. Yeah, you know, made dinner. What'd you have? Relaxed.

I made chicken tacos, like shredded chicken. You know what? I'm glad you brought that up. You know what? Megan didn't know how to shred chicken. I agree with her. Like, do you use a fork or do you use a? I have graduated to the mixer. Right. Because it just like comes out better,, do you use a fork or do you use a? I have graduated to the mixer

because it just like comes out better, but you can use a fork. It depends how many pieces I'm doing. There's so many different ways to eat tacos, of course. And when I speak of tacos, I am of course speaking of like white people, old El Paso tacos. I'm on the siate now.

I do siate. That's a little more authentic, but like I'm not talking about like Burria tacos that like are actual Mexican food. I'm talking about like the, my assimilated tostada version. And of course you can do ground beef. Of course you can do ground chicken. Some freaks do ground turkey when I was on Weight Watchers.

Like I did that and I'm sorry, I was wrong for that. And then of course you can do shredded chicken. And I'm just like, and you know, I love chicken. Chicken is my life. I've chicken every single day. I feel like shredded chicken, like rotisserie chicken shredded and then like made taco-esque, like Mexican-y.

I feel like it's not the vibe. Oh, I've been really into it. It's really easy to make. And I boil the chicken first, then shred it, and then put the seasoning on. I think that's right. I feel like Olivia's favorite too. She does like to shred chicken.

I don't know. It's not giving to me like authentic old El Paso. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's why I didn't say I had taco night. You recognize that? I had to say I had shard of chicken taco night. Because it was different from all other taco nights. Yeah, it wasn't like what you think of

when you think of taco night. And like, if you're just like a straight white American and you're inviting me over for tacos and there isn't like a ground beef or a ground chicken on the table, like that's in my opinion, not a taco night. No, it's a shawty chicken taco night. Right.

You know what I'm thinking today? I was like looking at my fridge, like starting to map out dinner. Yeah, that's the best. I have the ingredients for a chili, you know? Which isn't usually how I approach a chili. Usually the chili approaches me. Approaches you, be a circumstance. Usually the chili approaches me. I look outside.

I feel how my feeling, but no, I don't, I think I have to make a chili. I have ground beef that's about to go bad. I have three peppers that are about to go bad. Like I have celery that's about to go bad. I know people. Sounds like it's gonna be like a really good chili. Well, no, it's gonna be like cooked to oblivion.

Now, it's so funny that you brought that up because you never know when like it's gonna be your last chilly of the season, right? Right. And because like you said, it's usually dictated by circumstance, primarily weather. And we in New York, we are far past chilly weather. Like it's gorgeous, it's 50, 60 degrees,

it has been for the last couple of days. I feel like my last chilly of the winter 25 season, like I feel like it's behind me. I think it's, I think it's over. You didn't even get to say goodbye. I know, but that's kind of what makes it so special. It's like, you never know when it's going to be your last chili.

Yeah. Plus I think chili and third trimester are not simpatico. A heartburn? The heartburn, yeah. That's a fair point. It's not really like what you're craving. No, and anytime over the last couple of months when like Ben has been rattling me off

like the four things I like for dinner, he's like, well, do you want girl chicken? Do you want chili? I haven't been spoken, like it hasn't speaking to me. Yeah, I understand that. You know? I think that's just the natural process. Yeah.

Baby doesn't like chili. Bebba does not want chili. You hate to say that. It is what it is. It is what it is. It is what it is. You hear about Dolly Parton's husband? So sad. I did. Not like a story worthy, but I'm sending her love.

Yeah. Sad. Must be a hard time. Yeah. Thanks for that. I was listening to some worship music this morning. Oh, that's nice. Got, you know, I was in the mood to praise. That's beautiful.

I was listening to some new music, you know? I like, I have no space in my life for new music. I know, but like, I literally go to my like songs. I listen to the same five songs over and over again. I'm like, I have to get new songs on this playlist. So I have to go out there. I have to go out there and dive into some new music Friday. The Rascal Flatts Jonas Brothers collab is like the only-

Is the first song on my liked. I listen to it every minute of every day. It's like the most recent song in the last couple of months that I've added to my liked. And it's like the only new song I've committed to. But the only way I'm gonna get songs on that playlist is if I get out there. You know, fun fact, actually Nick wrote that song

with like other songwriters, but it was like kind of Nick's project. That's fun. I feel like they're really of Nick's project. That's really competitive. I feel like they got really competitive. I could still like analyze the like dynamics of the Jonas Brothers all day long. But I feel like, cause for so long, it was a question of who's the lead singer,

Joe or Nick, Joe or Nick, Joe or Nick, Joe or Nick. And then a couple of years ago, it wasn't even a question anymore. Like it was clearly Nick. No, excuse me, Joe. And like Nick kind of stopped trying to vie for that spot. But now I feel like he tries to like vie as like, well, I'm the real genius behind this band.

I write a lot of the music. And a lot of his like social media content, even this video I saw of him writing, I dare you with Shane McAnally and like other big country people. Like he's like, yeah, fine, Joe, you can have like the stage, but like everybody knows I'm the brains. Yeah, that's a good look for him and he's talented.

So get your flowers. I think it worked out nicely for everybody, specifically Kevin. Do you think that they split the profits of the Jonas Brothers evenly between the three of them? I do. I do too. It doesn't work if they don't.

We run a family business. When they were airing out their dirty laundry in their documentary, they would have mentioned that. Yeah, yeah, it would have been so messy. Yeah, no, especially because Nick and Joe have to make the same for this to work. Yeah, I guess like it could be like 40, 40, 20, but no, that would be wrong.

Yeah, they'd be wrong. And why? Like why would Kevin stick around for that? Yeah, so now I think without further ado-da-doo-da-doo, They'd be wrong. They'd be wrong. And why? Like why would Kevin stick around for that? Yeah. So now I think without further ado-da-doo-da-doo, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know. Jackie, like seriously, do you not like it? I like it. You have to trust the natural process.

Well, my natural process is like waiting for you to hear that, waiting for you to say it. Sometimes I do this, sometimes I do that. The fast-sized story is, you need to know who you do do do do do. Trust the process. Today's episode is brought to you by Skims. So Skims bras and underwears are truly the best intimates

I had them before pregnancy, but like I've come to like have a real love and respect for for that collection. Their bralettes from that collection really are so fabulous.

Sounds like they're trying to say the name on everybody's lips is. Avara, and that's really true. Correct.

Our first story is the other name on everybody's lips. Rascal Flatts have announced that they are doing, I don't know what this is exactly called, but it's like a- It's like a Greatest Hits QLab album. Greatest Hits QLab album. So they are putting out an album called Life is a Highway, refueled duets. So they are redoing their most popular songs

with popular artists. In country and beyond. So the last time I felt this way, like I feel like sick with with excitement and like how overwhelmed I am. The last time I felt this way was the greatest showman reimagined album where that like greatest showman was my favorite movie musical of all time.

I love the music. And like just when I was maybe moving on from it, they announced reimagined album where like Kelly Clarkson's doing never enough. Pink is doing a million dreams. Like serious, I could, I could vomit. No, I liked the concept of taking. It reminds me a lot of that album of Kelly Clarkson's doing Never Enough, Pink is doing Million Dreams, like seriously, I could vomit. No, I like the concept of taking, it reminds me a lot of that album of Elton John's

greatest hits that Miley did a song for, Kacey Musgraves did a song for, like re-imagined covers. Now, I'm glad to be getting anything from Rascal Flatts, and I don't wanna be seen as a complainer, cause I'm not. However, when I saw that they were like announcing something music wise, this isn't what I had number one hoped for.

I would have loved, oh, I don't know, new music. Having said that, it's something. And I do think like this is the first step in coming back because they didn't retire for no reason. Like the culture slept on them and we all need to wake the fuck up. So I think like doing collabs with, they have a big rising country TikTok girl on there, Backstreet Boys, so they're going pop. The culture slept on them and we all need to wake the fuck up. So I think like doing collabs with,

they have a big rising country TikTok girl on there, Backstreet Boys, so they're going pop. They're really targeting different genres and demographics. It's a good way to get your name back out there before you release new music. So I understand the marketing and the strategy here. Yeah, so here are the songs that they're doing on the album and with whom.

One, I Dare You with Jonas Brothers, which we know. Two, Fast Cars and Freedom with Jason Aldean. I'm seriously gonna pass away. That's such an underrated Rascal Flat song. Fasgun. It's top three. It's literally me with the window down, driving in the passenger seat.

I'm so excited. Next, My Wish with Carly Paz. So a lot of the Rascal Flat songs that are like greatest hits that are on this album, like aren't my go-to faves. You know what I mean? Like where's Riot? But people love, you know, Bless the Broken Road, Life is a Highway.

These are their best known songs. So I understand like My Wish is one of those. It's not the song I go to first, second, third, fourth, fifth. It's worth mentioning that Bless the Broken Road is not on here and I'm kind of grateful for that. Like it's- It's also not their song, right? It's a cover that Bless the Broken Road is not on here and I'm kind of grateful for that. Like it's- It's also not their song, right?

It's a cover. Oh yeah. Bless the So Much Life is a Highway. And then- Actually, I don't know. I might've just made that up. Hold on. Next is Mayberry with Blake Shelton.

Like such a deep cut. Homest Mayberry. Like it's gonna be so good. That's a deep cut. Yeah. Sitting on a porch drinking ice cold cherry. Coke. Coke. Coke.

When everything was black and white. You're going to Rascal Flatts soon, right? I am. And Marco's going this weekend. Oh, you're not going with her for that? I thought she was flying you. She's doing a dry run to make sure that the tickets are good.

That's so funny. She totally talked about this on the redheads cause she was like nervous. I'm sure also she wants to go twice, but she's like scared of me and she should be. Bless the broken road. Oh, I'm sorry. It was, it's Hannah Montana.

I mean, it's Hannah Montana. It's Rascal Flatts. I made that up. Life is a Highway is a cover, but Bless the Broken Road is not. Then five, Stand with Brandon Lake. Stand also a deep cut, a Paragi song. I don't know Brandon Lake,

but I look forward to meeting him. Yes, you do. How do I know him? I'll tell you, let me just triple. Let me fact check. How do you know him? I'll tell you. As long as literally the song I was listening to this morning. I've got a reason to pray.

Oh, so he's a Christian artist. He's the Lord. Elevation Worship, my king. Beautiful. And I guess Stan is definitely has a lot of faith behind it. I'm sorry. Not Elevation Worship, my king. Beautiful. And I guess Stand is definitely, has a lot of faith behind it. I'm sorry, not Elevation Worship. I got my church is confused. Jackie, you know this one's my favorite. Maverick City Music.

Maverick, he's the Maverick. Wait, and what song is he on? Stand. Oh, that's gonna be fucking pargy. Six Summer Nights with Ashley Cook. Now I know Ashley Cook like has to be on this album, just like for country music to work another day. But like Summer Nights we love.

Yeah. And she's also like a strategic move. She's huge on TikTok. She has a new collab with Joe Jonas. She's like really young country digital artists. So this is them, you know, getting the young folks. She's the girl in the front row singing. They're the boys and the wheels that bring them.

I'm literally so excited for their concert. No, I feel really sick. Yeah. Shit. It's gonna be a party weekend. I can't get on a plane. What hurts the most with Backstreet Boys. Okay, so eight people on one song, fun. No, you know what, it's good. It's good because I was gonna skip the Backstreet Boys collab,, so eight people on one song, fun. No, you know what, it's good.

It's good because I was gonna skip the Backstreet Boys collab and I was probably gonna skip what hurts the most because it's just like a little overplayed in my opinion. Yeah. So I'm only skipping one song. I'm not complaining. And the fact that Backstreet Boys like respect Rascal Flatts,

like thank you. Yes, and I do think that like this is like a treat for OG Rascal Flatts fans because I think there's a lot of crossover between the two in terms of like age demographic and fans. So it's good. For sure. The next one may be the best one yet. Yours If You Want It with Jordan Davis.

Is everyone going to be okay? Oh, I've chilled. Cause I'm not. It's yours if you want it. And the fact that we're going to get like new versions of these songs that we love, but that were recorded like 20 years ago, but it's going to be like new instruments, maybe a couple of new riffs that were recorded like 20 years ago, but it's gonna be like new instruments,

maybe a couple of new riffs. Like it's kind of like, you know, Taylor's versions. That's what I was thinking. Oh my gosh, like. You know what? I like, I'm getting way more excited than having broken it down with you. Did we miss the Uncasville show?

Did it happen already? No, I think that's what Margo's going to. Oh, you're kidding. Yeah, and that's at Foxwood. I think. I really wanna go. I mean, sometimes you have to miss amazing concerts when you're pregnant.

Like, I'm so sorry. I missed Luke Holmes at MSG. You also missed Taylor. Eras. Nashville. But I saw it. Yeah, but like our big trip that you couldn't go on. That's okay, that doesn't haunt me actually,

which is weird because it was like my sisters and my friends. No, it's like us and all of Jackie's friends. It's just because there was no world in which I could possibly go. Luke Holmes at MSG when I'm down the street by myself and my sisters are at Luke Holmes, that haunts me. I just feel like if Rascal really wanted me there,

he would like send a plane for me. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Next we have Life is a Highway with Lizzy Hale. I expect you to tell me who that is. I have literally no idea. She's not like one of your TikTok girls. Lizzy Hale?

Yeah, I think Billboard forgot the I cause it's L-Z-Z-Y Hale, but I'm assuming it's Lizzy. No, no, no, no, that's her name. Lizzy, you're lying. I swear, L-Z-Z-Y Hale. it's Lizzy. No, no, no, that's her name. You're lying. I swear, LZZYHale. She's like a rocker. She's an American musician. She serves as a lead singer

and rhythm guitarist of hard rock band Hailstorm, which she co-founded with her brother in 97. This is like a total blind spot for me. Okay, so she's just in a different genre. She's not a TikTok person I didn't know. Wait, that's like really weird. And then the last one is, She's not a person. I didn't know wait. That's like really weird and then the last one is

Moving on with Kelly Clarkson Now I can see the life has been patiently waiting for me. Oh my God, do you think there's any show that Kelly's gonna show up at? Do you think it's gonna be at Gisville? Cause then I'll go. No, cause I think it's just like, then it becomes a free for all. Plus this is happening on June 6th,

so like we have some time. Oh, okay. But you should talk to Satchel. Okay, I'm thinking here's my plan. Instead of, okay, I actually have a really good plan. Tell me what you think. I'm not gonna go to the concert. But my 31st birthday is in July.

And I think we just like splurge and we pay for Rascal Flatts to come to our house and sing for us. I 100% agree. Like, let's start. I'll start like accepting like some rogue brand deals. If you guys see the content, just like like it and move on. I wonder how much it costs for a private event. 100, 250 thousand dollars.

I'm going to find out. Yeah. Right. Because like the big like, you know, we are beyond say, but was probably like a million dollars. No, no, no. Like six million. Oh. I don't think they're a million dollars, but they do have to split three.

No, no, no. They're under, they're at a tier where like, where you're at a certain level. And I remember this because when Brian was throwing the points guy awards, he would always choose a performer and he had like sponsors pay for it, but he had a budget. So he would get this budget and get a list of people and their rates.

We would like sit and go through it. It was like my favorite thing. And it was a lot less than you would think for most people who are like well-known, but not Taylor Swift. You know? Like 250,000 is a good guess. I do actually.

Okay, Claudia. Like let's break out the piggy bank. We're gonna start saving. Yeah, no, any brands who are looking for like a deal, just reach out, I will do everything but new today. Would you get on Cameo for this? Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah.

Can we find out how much a private performance for Moscow Flats would cost? I hope we find out before this episode is over. Not to put the money blast. I think that we are at the same agency as them. So I do think it'll be quite easy. Maybe we can get a deal, maybe the fees. And maybe we could do some social posts, like barter.

100%. And you could have, oh by the way, you could have a birthday party this summer at the house. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like with other people, it's not just like me and you listening to them. Why? And like maybe you could ask the guests to contribute.

As like part, like in lieu of gifts, please contribute to the Rascal Flats Fund. Foundation. No, we'll charge a cover, like five bucks for girls, 10 bucks for guys. Yeah. Okay, I have someone working on it. Okay, well that's exciting and I'm so excited.

Thank you, Rascal Flatts. Thank you for coming back together. And I do think that this is the beginning of them working together again. I don't think they retired. I think they needed time off. And now like this is, they probably have a lot of fun. You don't think they needed time away from one another?

Like it was an interpersonal issue? But they're also getting old. I don't think it's so interpersonal when they've been doing it for 30 years and like they're a well oiled machine. I think it was more so tiresome. It felt like their time to go. And then they realized that it was not their time to go. It so wasn't their time to go.

I hope they have a blast on tour. I hope that this album gets all of its flowers and they're like, okay, the world needs us. We're back. I'm moving on. They're not moving on. How about dat? I'm moving on. Like I seriously, I'm excited now.

And it wasn't like what I saw before, I was like, oh, Backstreet Boys, huh? But I didn't actually take a look. I was wrong for that, I'm sorry. I spoke before I thought, which I never do. I'm glad that I could make you excited. Yeah, thank you. Are you ready for our next story?

It's not funny. It's not funny. Oh, why are you chuckling over there? Chuckles. I'm not. But Jennifer Hudson was hit in the face by a skip ball while sitting court side at the Knicks game. So Jennifer Hudson had the spotlight on her

when an accident at the New York Knicks game interrupted her day night. That's so Knicks, like they can't even throw the ball on the court. They have to hit someone. The thing is, if you watch the video, it actually wasn't the Knicks fault. It was Common's fault.

What? She's sitting next to Common, and the ball is definitely in their vicinity, and he like goes to block her face, but punches her. Like, if you watch it in really slow motion. But the ball goes out of bounds. Yes, she's sitting right there in the front. Yeah, he did try to help.

Also, I guess I didn't remember that Jennifer Hudson and Common are dating. Oh, what? Aren't they dating if they went to a basketball game together? I thought that like all the celebrities sit in the same area and they just happened to be like, their parties were seated next to one another.

Perhaps, no, I think they're dating. But I should. Yeah, right? Things that make sense. Maybe they are, I guess, were they there together? And also, this is kind of like a meet-cute, like, oh, what is it? Oh, let me help you.

By the way, it's literally the premise of Common's movie, my favorite movie of all time, just right. He's like a basketball player. It's okay, it's not like that similar. Yeah. But Jennifer Hudson and Common. Yeah, she was sitting courtside with her partner, Common.

They confirmed their relationship publicly in early 2024, but rumors have been circulating since 2022. So this is like a real relationship. They've been together a long time. And it's just worth noting that the Knicks player lost control of the ball. Do you wanna know his name? Should we shame him?

Okay, I know if it was a Jalen Brunson. No, and it wasn't the guy that you told Ben about Luke Holmes. Who was it? It was Miles McBride. I don't even know him. So he owes her an apology. Yeah, by the way, they lost control of it,

but like the ball was like sort of thwarted into her face by common. Yeah, and then it hit her glasses. So then like the glasses hit your face. Like that just really hurts. By the way, if you watch the video, it's very clear. She's on the verge of tears. Yeah, oh my God, I would be like, it's painful.

And she knows she's on camera and she's on a date. And it's shocking. Like when you get hit, like it's just, you didn't expect that. And so it's like, you're afraid. And I saw truly the funniest tweet about this. Like I was giggling about it for three hours last night. It's from Michelle Collins and she's responding

to the video and she goes, Effie, we all got pain. Like so fucking funny, so niche. I was laughing so hard. I- So niche. So niche. Like it wasn't English to like a lay person, but to me it meant the world.

Yeah. Effie, I got pain. Like so funny I was laughing. This is like genuinely my worst nightmare. There's nothing worse than being hit in the face and your immediate reaction is to like cry. You're in pain, but you're also embarrassed. For it to be on TV, like on the front row of a Knicks game,

you're on a date with your boyfriend. Like I actually have, she has my heartfelt thoughts and prayers. No, same. Everyone thinks like sitting courtside is so glamorous. Like I guess, no thanks. No, I could tell you sitting courtside is cool. Cause like you're so close,

but it's a little scary cause you're too close. The seats are so close together. You have no elbow room. It's actually not like a great place for a date. If he really loved her, he would put her in a suite. Yeah, but they've been dating for so long now that it's not like a date where we have to be able to connect and this and that.

Like you want to be in the game. You want to feel the sweat dripping. Every we all got pain. So I'm sorry that that happened to her. I'm really sorry to this woman. Like that's. Like what are the odds that someone gets hit and that it's Jennifer Hudson?

It's usually like a nobody who paid like $6,000. We wouldn't even hear about it. Yeah. When someone, like if someone got hit with the ball and then we'd also be like, oh, they must be so excited cause they're like huge. It's like catching a ball, you know, in baseball. Right, right, right.

But no, it's not like that at all. No, cause you live with a big bruise on your face. It's just like, no, that's not right. It's not right. Like the Knicks need to play better. Well, that's, I think, sort of like an overarching theme of the last decade. You're hurting people. Yeah. No, now, like you are so bad, it's actually causing physical pain to your fans.

And that's where we draw the line. Yeah. I'm sure you're the best. You ever see something happen to somebody and like selfishly your first thought is like, thank God that wasn't me. That's how I felt when I watched his video. Cause I would like actually start crying and I would get like mad too.

Like rage. I would get mad. Yeah, I'd be like, fuck it. Give me that ball. But you're on TV. Give me the ball. You're on TV. You're on TV.

Wishing her well. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. It's our third story. You know what? And I was just about to ask and I, I self so her well. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. It's our third story. You know what, and I was just about to ask and I self-soothed. Like I knew it was gonna be the third. She put herself back down.

Correct. Pete Davidson offers Colin Jost a $20,000 olive branch following the feud that made them stop speaking. So these two are funny and they're always spending money. Pete. Yeah, I thought that they were good. They bought that stupid ass boat. Yeah, but I think the boat came between them for a lot of different reasons.

I think it was a money pit. I don't think they were each contributing like the same amount of sweat equity and interest. And now Pete Davidson is on the road to making amends with Colin Jost. So he gifted him a $20,000 Cartier watch following the pair's alleged fallout. Page six can confirm.

The luxury timepiece was an olive branch from Pete to Colin after their rumored rift behind the scenes of SNL. The Sun was the first to report the news that Pete gifted him the watch after the, after, I hate when they do this. When they're like after the King of Staten Island star lever, after Pete left, why? And then the whole way down the article, they're gonna say after the King of Staten Island star, after Pete, why?

And then the whole way down the article, they're gonna say after the- The tatted X of Kim Kardashian. It's so annoying. Why do they do that? Pete, his name is Pete. I was reading a different article the other day that was doing it so much.

I couldn't read it. And the longer the article is, the crazier it gets. Cause first it says Pete. Then it says- Then it says, David, the crazier it gets. Cause first it says Pete. Then it says- Then it says SNL star. No, then it says Davidson. Davidson, comma 37. Then it says SNL star.

Then it says King of Staten Island. Yep. Famous Singleton. It's insane. It's so annoying. It's unclear exactly- And then when it's somebody who's like a multi hyphenate, they'll be like, the rapper Mogul turned inspirational artist. Oh, I think it might have been about Jay-Z. And

I'm like, it's easier to just write Jay-Z than to write the rock nation head of talent. And he is a lot of things. So just like call him a rapper or call him Jay. No, but like it's a very weird thing that they do. And as someone I want you to sound up in the comments like if you work in journalism like why do they do why do they SEO SEO article has buzzwords interesting interesting okay even though I actually read something and by read I mean somebody told me really interesting that like SEO is kind of going the way of the horse and buggy because of Google Gemini. Like the top populated answer just like pops up for you and like it doesn't matter,

try as you may to get on the first page of results. Like if what Gemini wants, Gemini gets. And Gemini wants Jordan. I have had a really good experience with Gemini. You will never hear me saying a bad word about Google Gemini, I love her. Yeah, sometimes they phone it in, just say like you don't know.

And some or say like this isn't a question that we really generated answers to. But when it doesn't populate, it's like makes me sad. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I'm alone in this world. No, and it's like, what am I, 11 in the school library? I'm just like brought back to a time of inefficiency. No, it makes me feel like my question is stupid because nobody else has asked it.

But there's no such thing as a stupid question. Yeah. Anyways, it's- Never stop asking why. It's unclear exactly what led to their feud, but it did affect their joint purchase of the decommissioned Staten Island ferry, which they had planned to turn into a live entertainment space, but they obviously have not. They gotta just sink it, you know?

It's gotta take on water, put them out of their misery. Sometimes a project like that is just, I know they wanna recoup their money. It wasn't the greatest idea, but they could've made it work because they're like two famous, interesting guys that everybody likes. So if they had turned this old fairy into like a floating comedy club

and had Dave Chappelle come one time, it would've become huge like the Comedy Cellar. But they didn't do it. They don't have the entrepreneurial spirit. I still don't understand why this didn't work. It's a good idea. Because they broke up as friends. Oh, but a good idea. Cause they broke up as friends. Oh, but don't you think if they broke up as friends

because it didn't work, what came first? It said that the rift was behind the scenes at SNL. So they kind of made it sound like they had a bad working relationship towards the end of Pete's time there. Perhaps, or maybe it was about that Pete didn't stay. Who knows? No, I feel like everyone's on their own journey when it comes to SNL.

You would never get mad at somebody for leaving. Well, I hope that they can make up. Hopefully it's not that serious. Nothing a watch can't fix. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah, it's beautiful. And maybe it was Pete's fault

because I do feel like he's in this phase of atonement and trying to better himself. Yes. And so he's making amends and trying to win Colin back over. Cause maybe he did something wrong. I agree. Are you ready for our next story? I think the question is, are you ready for our next story?

Thank you Turd Maine. You're welcome Jermaine. Our next story is some great news. Lala Ken has settled her three year custody battle with her ex Randall Emmett over their daughter Ocean. She says, I'm very, very happy. So during an Amazon live stream on Tuesday, Lala shared that her and Randall have settled

their three year custody battle over their daughter. She said, you guys- Oh my God, I didn't know that this was still going on and I didn't know that it had been settled. Yeah, well it just got settled. She said, you guys, the custody battle is over. It's officially ended. We're done with it, so there's my tea for the day.

She expressed how overjoyed she was to be able to reach a legal agreement with Randall. She said, after over three years, we have signed an agreement that is best for our daughter, Ocean. So I'm very, very happy about that. She admitted that the process has weighed on her heart and soul for so long. She said, I'm sure it's been the same for my ex. And I'm just so happy that we were able to get to a good place for the well-being of our kid. That was nice of her to like give him grace and say, it's probably been hard for him to. Well, maybe he gave her a generous deal at the end

because I feel like guys like that, guys like that like don't care about how much custody they have, they just use it to torture the mother because the mother's over here like fighting for every minute and the dad's just using it as a weapon. That's just like a feeling I have, I don't know that to be true. Oh, okay, well I hope she got so much custody.

I'm so happy. I figured this was still ongoing because we did never hear of anything being resolved. But just to think that she's been like going through this still while she was pregnant, while she had a newborn and like she's still in these proceedings. I'm so glad that it's over. I hope that she has a wonderful agreement

and can enjoy this new phase of her life. This is just like, I felt this last night because I watched Robin's live and Tom Sandoval was the life. This is just like a, there's, I watched, I felt this last night because I watched, watched Reven's live and Tom Sandoval was the guest. And it was literally like a blast from the past. I know the last season of Vanderpump Rules was only ended like a year ago, but to me, like they kind of feel like graduated seniors.

So anytime I hear about them, it's like, oh my God, like it's such a blast. And that's how I just felt hearing about Lala. I'm glad she's doing well. And I'm glad she's like still working, doing Amazon live, like making money because you know, losing Vanderpump is a loss. But she'll be on the valley. Is that confirmed?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure, her and Sheena. Oh, oh, oh. I don't know, I can't remember. And Tom Schwartz. And Tom Schwartz, because he's Lala's boyfriend, yeah. Because he's Lala's boyfriend. Yeah, she couldn't be without him. Yeah.

It's such a throwback. And Tom Sandoval was like such a loser on Watch, Drop, and Slide last night. He's having a moment because of traitors. And he's like been really funny. But he's still himself, you know? And so just to see him, and it was him and Kyle, like tool bags of the century.

Like it was so loser-y. Like they were both trying to like out cringe each other. But Tom Sandoval, honestly, like one with flying colors, I can't lie. And it was just so... Did he have anything interesting to say, Tom Sandvall? I saw that he spoke about Jack's addiction, saying like, yeah, we knew.

Yeah, but he didn't actually say it in an obnoxious way. Because the question was like, was this a shock to you? And he was actually quite respectful. He was like, listen, it's so huge that he is 83 days sober and was giving him a lot of credit. And he's like, you know, like I was with him, like we partied for 20 years together. So he's like, I don't know if I knew how bad it was,

but I knew like he was still doing it. And like, you know, we've all sort of grown out of it. I thought it was really respectful. Actually, I liked the answer. Yeah, and I feel like that's what you would think. Like that he wasn't hiding. They partied? Yeah, that's his best friend at certain points in his life.

Like he knows what's going on with him, but maybe not like deep, deep, deep down. Yeah, so it was a good answer. Yeah. Oh. And his girlfriend was there in the audience. Oh, a new one? What about the girl that was like, I got Sandoval and then she was like,

nevermind, no, I didn't. No, I think that's her cause I said they'd been together for a year. You're lying. She literally tried to smear him once again. And then was like, Citral Z, he didn't do it. She was sitting in the Oprah seats. Wow, he's very forgiving.

Yeah, one of the questions was like, which of your cast mates is less likely to cheat on their partner, you or Jax or something? And he had to think about it. And his girlfriend's sitting right there. It was really weird. That's funny. Well, I should have made that that fifth story

so we could talk about Bravo, but we do still have a fifth story. That's fine. Sarah Hyland is on Broadway, if you didn't know, and she's in The Great Gatsby, if you didn't know that that's now a Broadway show. Things I didn't know. I didn't know. Any of this.

So- No, Broadway is obsessed with unoriginal content these days. Now I'm not complaining, because The Greatest Showman is coming to Broadway. But like. So Sarah Hyland calls her role in the great Gatsby musical deliciously complex as she returns to Broadway. Who does she play?

She is placing Daisy Buchanan, the magnetic 1920s socialite who's ethereal beauty, vulnerable innocence, and longing for security, quickly makes her the object of protagonist Jay Gatsby's all consuming obsession. I followed her on social media for a while and she was like always posting videos of herself singing and I do believe she has a Broadway background. Yeah. So this isn't

shocking. I think sometimes when like celebrities go to Broadway, like Broadway people hate it, but a lot of them come from Broadway. So it's kind of a homecoming of sorts. And I think that's what's going on with Sarah Hyland. If you got the stuff, you just gotta prove yourself. I think everyone has to prove themselves, but if you are worthy, then welcome. Did you see? As if I'm like on Broadway. Right.

Or like I've been to a Broadway show. Come one, come all. I don't know if you saw viral video, Nikki Blonsky was actually spotted at, I don't know if it was like a drag club. It was like a, looked like a drag club, a club with a stage, and there was like cocktail waitresses around, singing You Can't Stop the Beat.

It went viral for a multitude of reasons, let me tell you why. One, it was one of the worst vocal performances of our generation. She could not hit a note if it killed her, just a singular note. Maybe she was drunk, out with friends doing karaoke. Was she the king of talent?

Or it was like a fun- I don't know, so people in the crowd were like throwing dollar bills at her and she was accepting tips. Like it looked like she was working. No, I really see, and not that I saw the video, but like to me that sounds like a gag. Like, oh my gosh, there's a stage.

It's Nicki Blonsky, sing your song. And she's been like out drinking and it's like not gonna be the best. Well, it goes without saying, like if I'm ever in a facility with a it's Nikki Blonsky. Sing your song and she's been out drinking and it's not gonna be the best. Well, it goes without saying, if I'm ever in a facility with a stage and Nikki Blonsky walks in, I'm getting that bitch on stage. And you're gonna sing, you can't stop the beat. And I'm gonna throw dollar bells at you.

I'm not gonna, no, no, I'm not gonna get on stage. I'm talking to Nikki. Nikki, yeah. So maybe that's what happened. I feel like that's what happened because that's just kind of natural human behavior. Yeah, we're only human. Like it's to see Nikki Blonsky and like put her to work.

I've actually never physically seen Nikki Blonsky and that's definitely something I want to work on. If you saw Nikki Blonsky, would you? One of my favorite things is like when people sing for celebrities. Yeah, yeah, that guy. It's so everyone does it and like now it's funny because they like do it bad. If you saw Nikki Blonsky see would you sing for her? No, who's the celebrity you would sing for? Like other celebrities who are good singers like Celine Dion. Yeah, you know that video of the woman singing Celine Dion

Yeah, she rolls up the window. That is an edit. She didn't roll up the window But they somebody made like an AI where like she rolled it up, because the girl like wasn't amazing. No, the thing is it only works when it's not amazing. I actually, I don't want to see someone actually sing. I would sing for Kelly. Oh, that's good. And I feel like all the publicists now have like told their clients, like this is a thing.

Just tell them it's good. Somebody might sing for you. Tell them it's good, clap and move on. Yeah. I love it. I love it too. It's so awkward. I know. Let's do summer house recap.

Last night's episode was the Paige versus Kyle conundrum we've been waiting for. The showdown. It was also the gender reveal, which I said it last week and I said it again, like lots of points in Carl's column for me. Like he was being so funny. And there really was no other way for him to handle that.

Like she sprung it on the group and yet it's unfortunate that's his ex fiance, but you know what? Like he was a really good sport about it and I have a lot of respect for how he handled it. Yeah, and like if you wanted that to be your baby, like you wouldn't have broken up with her like two months before your wedding. So that's why I don't really feel sorry for him.

And it's just a little awkward, sure. And I felt like everyone was like, oh, like, and I hate games. And if someone made me do that, I'd be like, oh, but then once I get into it, they're like all sweating, huffing and puffing and feeling really competitive. Like that was really funny. I liked how everybody got really into it. It was really sweet. And like, they're all so excited for Lindsay. I enjoyed it a lot. Except, you know, it comes as a surprise to nobody who's really bothering me is Danielle. Cause I know her and Lindsay are like on good terms, but she's saying like a lot of rude things.

No, she's so rude and then so supportive, like, and then so helpful, like cleaning up dinner, setting up the gender reveal, being the one to set the table, being so fucking rude to Lindsay and saying nasty comments, but being so helpful and a really good friend. She's like, oh, gender reveal,

is that gonna be a sponsored post? Like, oh, jealous. Yeah, or like Turner should be here. Like, no, says the nastiest things, so helpful. Cause she cleans up. Yeah, I can't get a read on her. Like, and even next week, they're sitting at the beach. I think she's just all of those things.

They're sitting at the beach and she's like grilling Lindsay about the fact that Lindsay doesn't live with her boyfriend. Like it's clearly an unconventional relationship. They got pregnant by accident. They were only dating for a few months. Like they're doing their best. And like she's so critical. Like, and you know what?

Look inward. What do you have going on? Like she's so critical. If you're going to be that critical, you have to be in the perfect relationship, have the perfect life and she's not. So shut up. No, I think she's just all of the above.

Yeah. She's pissing me off. And she's probably also the shut up. No, I think she's just all of the above. Yeah. She's pissing me off. And she's probably also the one carrying Lindsay's beach chair, like getting her a drink, getting her a snack, like taking care, and also being so nasty. Like, that's who she is. I'm just gonna accept it.

And then like, Jesse's going on about the Instagram comments that like, I actually agree with Lexi on So Whole Hardly, especially because now she's sharing, they spent all night with her parents, right? They met the parents, they went clubbing, they spent the wholeheartedly, especially because now she's sharing, they spent all night with her parents, right? They met the parents, they went clubbing, they spent the whole night together, and he's sleeping in her bed.

And so it's so not an unreasonable thing for her to say about the Instagram comments. And Danielle's like, and you guys aren't even exclusive, right, like shut up. Yeah, and it bothers me that the other girls aren't encouraging Jessie to take it seriously, and their reactions are making Jessie feel like she's being unreasonable and like her jealousy

is gonna come between them. When I wish that they would, and this is an issue that we've seen in everybody's relationship where like, no one wants to be mature in their relationship. Like they want everyone to like act like they're fun and party and whatever, and not like take things seriously. And so that bothers me. And it's like voting poorly for Jesse and Lexi. And I feel like now it's like,

Oh, they're about to start hating each other. No, and it's wrong, especially coming from Sierra. Cause she has the most experience with the guys in this house who are like, do she and like, she really wants like a real relationship out of it and they like will give her nothing. And so Lexi's over here from day one demanding excellence and Sierra should agree with that and support that not be like, whoa, dude, that's so crazy.

It's not. Yeah, and Jessie being like, I don't wanna change who I am which is the right thing to say, that's a nice thought. It's like, you don't have to change who you are by just tamping down the Instagram comments. And then also now you get to leave all those comments on her profile. You get to be that way for just her.

And that's a really nice thing. Now the potatoes of the episode was the whole Hannah, Paige, Craig, Kyle thing. Yeah. And I found it so interesting. Now the crook, like the core of the fight, Kyle's wrong. He has an issue with Hannah and he has an issue with Craig. What that has to do with Paige, nothing.

Like, and he's wrong for rage texting her. Like she, and it's mostly issue with Craig. What that has to do with Paige, nothing. And he's wrong for rage texting her. And it's mostly wrong to Amanda, because historically, any time he has started a fight with Paige, it has made it really difficult for Amanda. So if he was even a decent husband, he would take his grievances with Hannah out on Hannah, and he would take his grievances out with Craig on Craig. Not Paige.

Well, that's the thing. It's because of Amanda. He should just shut his mouth on everything and not start stuff because it puts his wife in like a really bad position. It excavates all this stuff that they obviously don't discuss and don't want to discuss. And even though Kyle is hurt about this or that, he should have swallowed it for Amanda because she is like so sad now and it's just made a mess of things. And it's not like things are even going to get fixed.

So like, why do you have to go and say something? And I do understand like, I mean, when Craig texted Paige being like, that would be like Craig yelling at Amanda for Kyle taking a deal with Home and Hearth. I'm like, oh, well that would be preposterous. Yeah. Preposterous. I could understand how like, you know,

if someone does something, if you're friends with someone and their partner does something like, you would mention it to them if you're super close with them. But given the history and the Amanda of it all and how things are so tenuous as it is, shut your mouth.

But now we're talking about the tenuous nature, right? We're talking about Hannah, we're talking about all, and I find it so interesting because- Like it turns out we've been walking on eggshells. Yeah, and I have a lot of sympathy for Paige because that's really hard. And these are the two biggest things in her life, like personally, but also professionally,

Summer House and Giggly Squad, and that's Amanda and that's Hannah. And that must be really hard. And so for it to be brought up again, like I understand why she like just like blacked out and got mad, like she's a hundred percent justified. It's like three years of shit that they've never talked about.

That she's been swallowing, that she didn't say. And Kyle is wrong. That she's been swallowing, that she didn't say. And Kyle's wrong. Like that's also important. Like he's just wrong on both accounts. Like that is what happened with Hannah. Like, and so what Craig, what a man, Paige is saying is like a couple of years ago, you got so mad at my friend

because she did an ad with a drink company. And that's exactly what's happening with Craig right now. So it's like, we're literally in the same position. And I think Paige is like, I don't think Paige looks back on that time, like how it was handled positively. So she's like, I'm not doing that again. Like we're not doing this again.

No, and like Hannah did the ad with a drink brand. And because of that, Kyle and Hannah never spoke again. And Paige said, like, if we keep going this way, then Kyle and Craig will never speak again. And like, that's not what she wants for her life. That's not what she wants for her friendship with Amanda, that their partners would have such beef. And so she's trying to nip it in the bud,

but yeah, it's the exact same thing. Yeah, so it was kind of crazy. I feel like Paige doesn't really throw down a lot. And when she does, like, you really have to get her to a place of being really mad. And that's where we got last night. And then also really sad. Yeah, really sad because also then I was like realizing the friendship piece of it and I guess I just always like assumed oh it works even though Hannah and

Amanda like wouldn't be close but I didn't realize how close they all once were and like Paige saying like if I ever had a bachelorette party like Hannah and Amanda can't both come. Yeah, I don't know why I thought like her friendship with Amanda was just like convenient summer friendship like I know her friendship with Hannah is like really real and I don't know why I just thought it wasn't on just like convenient summer friendship. I know her friendship with Hannah is really real and I don't know why I just thought it wasn't on the same level as the Amanda one, but apparently I was wrong. That was just a vibe I got.

Yeah, yeah, no, I would think the same. But no, she takes both relationships really seriously and it kind of kills her that her friends aren't friends, especially because they used to all be best friends. That's tough. Yeah, it's not like I have my home friends and my camp friends and they're not close, but they don't need to be. It's like, no, we were a threesome

and now I am still best friends with each of you, but we can't be like we once were. Do you think that like we've seen the last of Bailey? Cause they made it sound like, oh, where's Bailey? She's having boyfriend troubles by like, we'll never see her again. It was just kind of a, I felt like it was closing the chapter on her completely.

Yeah, I didn't even hear that. And I didn't know she wasn't there. Yeah, they were like, where's Bailey? Is she coming this weekend? It's like no, she's having boyfriend troubles and then they moved on and I feel like we'll never hear about her I don't think we'll hear about her again, and I didn't even realize so That's okay What else happened after the fight? Jesse and Lexi went in the hot tub. Oh West stayed out West was like making me chuckle Jesse and Lexi went in the hot tub. Oh, Wes stayed out.

Wes was like making me chuckle. Yeah, and he, oh, oh, one more thing. I saw a great tweet that was like, pointed such a, like a lie in Kyle's story. Cause Kyle's whole thing is that Craig is lying. Craig says like, Spirit Society came to me with this opportunity and I read it by you and I told you about it

and I gave you the first right of refusal. And Kyle's like, well, you didn't. You never gave me the opportunity. Like I told you about it and I gave you the first right of refusal and Kyle's like, well, you didn't. You never gave me the opportunity. Like I told you I needed a minute to come up with a proposal. Meanwhile, at the table, Sierra's like, could we still invest? And he had the proposal right there.

He had a minimum of 25,000. And it was the same one since 2019. Carl. Yeah, so when Craig asked him. So what work did you need to do for Craig? Right, he was able to regurgitate it in two seconds at the table, why not at his dinner with Craig? Yeah, he was able to regurgitate it in two seconds at the table, why not at his dinner with Craig?

Yeah, and I wish that at the table, they had like a little bit more of like a referendum on Lover Boy, like it so needs to happen, like, because especially with every season, like Sierra is now becoming even more influential, she's on Traders, like everybody's stock goes up, the more seasons go by, and I think it starts to bother them more.

Yeah. And I would love to have like a big round table discussion about it. Yeah, but also as people have shared, like Bravo probably owns a bit of Loverboy because of that like Bethany thing. Yeah. Like now any brand that like someone starts on the show and like it's heavily promoted,

like Bravo has a piece of, which makes sense. Which is fair. So like Bravo has a stake in having it at all the parties, but even every other brand nobody no brand on any show gets as much play as lover boy does on summer house Forcibly like it should be called lumberhouse Summer boy literally they are one in the same Yeah And I feel bad that like the things were affecting their business because she was saying, I'm getting DMs.

But it's like, that's what happens when you make a business as a public figure and you're on TV, you have to ride the waves of public opinion. It's not always gonna be good. You can't just get the good ones and not ride out the bad ones. It goes up and down and that's par for the course. So acting like someone did you dirty because of that,

that's what you signed up for. The overall flaw and I think what Amanda said, she was like, nobody knows how hard this has been on me and Kyle and our marriage. And it's like, well, what's going on is like, nobody really has wronged you. So it's more so that there are problems in your marriage, not problems in the outside world

that are affecting your marriage. Well, I think that Amanda agrees with like Paige in this situation. I think she thinks Kyle's wrong. And I think when they go home, like she is like, you shouldn't have texted Paige. You shouldn't have, you know, you should drop the Hannah thing like, can I be friends with Hannah?

And I think she gets mad at him because he took those things away from her, but she has to like publicly sit at the table and have his back. But privately, she's like so mad that he's put her in this position and that and that affects their relationship. I don't know if this is me to say, but like I really toggle between having a lot of sympathy for Amanda, but then also being like, this is your bed.

Like he's such a bad husband and he puts her in such bad spots and it's so wrong. Last year, I feel like it was a real highlight. Like when he was, she was in a really bad place and he could not have cared less. Like, and I feel like he's just so terrible to her and he makes her life so hard professionally, personally, her relationships.

And I know like when the cameras are off, she definitely like rips him a new asshole for sure. We don't see that. And she's a good wife for being like somewhat supportive. As supportive as you can be for somebody who's so crazy, but also like demand better for yourself, you know? You could just wanna shake her. We don't see a lot of the good times

and I have to imagine that they're there. Otherwise, what are- I have to imagine. Like, otherwise, what are they doing together? Like, if it's only just like the fighting on the weekend about this or that, we don't like see what bonds them. And that makes it hard to understand, like, why she puts herself in this position.

But I have to imagine that there's good there. That's a really good point. Like, there has to be some great love or something. Yeah, like she's not on the brink of like leaving him. I do feel like they are solid. They're together. Right, right. So can we see a little bit of that?

It would be nice. Yeah. Well, that's Summer House Week. That's our show, a Nassafi. It's Nassaf? I mean, it's like an hour, like that's so regular of us. What are we, a bunch of regular degular podcasters who talk for an hour?

Nassafi Thursday. Ben Nassafer. Ben Nassafer. Guys, thank you so much. True gratitude, sending you love and, oh, let me see if I got an answer on my Rascal Fox proposal. Oh, okay, just tell me if it's over or under. I feel weird, like-

I didn't get it, I didn't get it. Oh, but wouldn't you feel weird, like, actually, like, putting, letting everyone know their price tag? I feel like that's private. Right? Sorry, say it again, I was reading something on my phone. Like, if you got the number,

like, would you feel weird sharing it? Oh, I think that's, like, kind of like an industry no-no. Right, no, because, like, towards them, like, I don't know, they just, like, privacy. Yeah, it's like, your's like kind of like an industry no-no. Right, no, because like towards them, like I don't know, they just sort of like privacy. Yeah, it's like your rates are kind of personal. Yeah, I feel like their rates are personal. So if you ever get your answer, just let us know if I low-balled or high-balled, that's all.

And what was your number, 250? 250. Okay, the campaign funding starts today. Yeah, we'll start, like how much would they have to save every day to reach 250 by July? You know? Right, how many days are between now and July? March, April, May, June.

So let's say like 120, roughly. Okay, and we have 250,000 we need to hit to buy by 100. Is that like $2,000 a day? Yeah. Oh, that's like a little out of my budget. Wait, hold on. Let's do it by week. How many months did you say?

120 days. But okay, how many months is that? That's like four months? 16 weeks. 16 weeks. Okay, divide by 16. $15,000 a week. That sounds worse than $2,000 a day.

I guess I could have just done the 2,000 times. Yeah, two times seven. Yeah, that's funny. Thank you so much for listening to the Toast of Blood.
