Good morning, millennials.

[00:00:03]

Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Tuesday. Speaking of choose... Sorry, I'm starting again. Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Tuesday. And speaking of my favorite jus-was, it's Jacquouine Follet.

[00:00:23]

It's Tues Jews.

[00:00:25]

It's Tues Jews. That's for an AM, I'm sure.

[00:00:27]

It's actually Tues Jews because Brew is Here For The Moment podcasting with us. Brew has entered his teenager era. Now, when we wake up in the morning, Brew stays in bed. Brew can't rise and grind before 9:00 AM.

[00:00:42]

Waking up in the morning.

[00:00:44]

He takes his breakfast in bed now. He's just super cozy. When we get up to do a 6:00 AM bottle, he always gets up at that time and expects his breakfast at that time. Oh, it's like we're up. Yeah, no. Like, oh, great. I've been waiting. These days, He's the last one to rise in the house. Isn't that interesting?

[00:01:03]

You know what? They really grow up so fast.

[00:01:07]

They grow up so fast. Enjoy this time while you have it La Terre DeLou. How's Ro?

[00:01:11]

Yesterday, we were hoping for an accident-free day. It didn't happen.

[00:01:17]

We already started the day with an accident, though, you said.

[00:01:19]

Yesterday, yeah. Today, we have no accidents. Now, the day is young.

[00:01:24]

We need a board. Zero days without accidents so far. But Claudia, your expectations are so high.

[00:01:30]

No, by the way, I don't get discouraged, but that's the goal I'm working towards, a day without accidents.

[00:01:36]

For sure. I feel like it should be a while before that happens. Are you using wee-wee paths?

[00:01:42]

No, and it shouldn't be a while. It should be I'm going to say a week because he was... We dropped him off at a trainer for a couple of weeks, and he was having no accidents.

[00:01:53]

He was in a routine there.

[00:01:55]

A change of environment is expected.

[00:01:57]

We're still learning. For such a young pup.

[00:01:59]

We're still learning I'm not feeling discouraged, but that is a goal. I think when training, it's good to have goals. That's my goal.

[00:02:05]

Okay. I love your goal, and I am rooting for Ro.

[00:02:09]

Now, speaking of goals, yesterday, I was dressed like a slut, like the Whore of Hold on. Today, I'm giving athletic.

[00:02:19]

Explain yourself. You're done being a slut. It wasn't the life for you?

[00:02:24]

It was the life for me, actually. I really enjoyed the slutty era I was in yesterday, just walking down street, everybody's eyes on turdy. But I dressed for the day. Yesterday required me to be whore-esque. Today is giving athleticism because after we wrap up the toast, I'm doing something insane. I'm wearing a sports bra.

[00:02:46]

Okay, what is she doing? I mean, she could be going to a workout class. She could be training with Hillary. She could be meeting with Tom, the running coach. She's doing 5K training.

[00:02:54]

Today, I have my very first in-person training with a running coach. We're literally running outside. I didn't even know what to wear. I was so confused. I've never worked out outside of my life, let alone run. I'm wearing a sports bra. I'm wearing my Reebok leggings, my Nike socks, my Hocas, and an aloe yoga T-shirt with this merch on top. I needed something because it's chilly, but I wanted- It's not just merch, Shirti.

[00:03:17]

It's vintage.

[00:03:18]

I wanted something that gave that vintage collegiate athleticism energy. I thought this Heather gray was giving that. So yes, pulled from the archives.

[00:03:29]

Pulled from the archives. I have so much archival merch, and there was a pile of merch sitting in my studio, which, by the way, I have now like, bins in my studio. Things are going into bins, and I'm going to set up all my old merch up here. But I had pulled some things of things that we almost made. Remember I showed you while you were here? Frightening.

[00:03:50]

We have some samples in the studio over here of things we never made, like some of the ugliest shit on the planet. Thank God, what were we thinking?

[00:03:57]

No, the thing is we got the samples and we were like, no, it's It's not like we were ever on the fence. You know what I mean? It's not like those things were ever almost made once we saw what they would look like.

[00:04:05]

Yeah. I just feel like we've been slaying the merch recently, so I feel good about where we're at.

[00:04:11]

Slaying the merch. That word on the street is that there are still some baby pink What's left?

[00:04:16]

I heard that, too, actually, but I can't reveal my sources. I can neither confirm nor deny. You just have to go to shoptoastmerch. Com to check out for yourself.

[00:04:22]

To check out for yourself.

[00:04:23]

Okay, so big week we have.

[00:04:27]

Do we?

[00:04:28]

Yeah.

[00:04:29]

In what It makes sense.

[00:04:30]

I'm meeting with my running coach. The Love is Blind Reunion, which I just found out is not being filmed live. It was already recorded, but it's being air live 9:00 PM on Netflix, which I like.

[00:04:44]

I love that. A viewing experience for us. We can be a part of something that is technologically sound.

[00:04:50]

Yes. Hopefully, they don't have issues.

[00:04:54]

I think that's a great idea.

[00:04:55]

Me too.

[00:04:56]

Also, I did something crazy last night.

[00:05:00]

Crack?

[00:05:02]

Crazier.

[00:05:03]

Meth.

[00:05:05]

I watched the Real Housewise of Beverly Hills.

[00:05:08]

Holy shit. She's nuts.

[00:05:11]

I finished catching up with Summerhouse. I'm caught up on Bannerpump rules. I'm I was in my TV turned on era, and I was like, Okay, what have I been wanting to watch? I got back into the season of Beverly Hills.

[00:05:23]

That's so crazy. I literally stopped watching after episode 2, and I haven't really heard much about it. All I saw was a preview for next week's reunion where Andy Cohen says, All right, Kyle, another million dollar question. What's going on between you and Morgan Wade? You mean to tell me they haven't found out yet?

[00:05:36]

Right. No, I don't think this season is particularly good, but I was just looking for some content to watch. I had an hour or so, so I've been catching up. I am curious.

[00:05:44]

I I am curious where Name him comes from because I love it. I don't know. I'm obsessed.

[00:05:52]

Claudia, I just watched it last night, and it was an infuriating scene. Sutton is being insane. I don't care. You know when you're arguing with someone? No, I'm sure it's a great TikTok sound or whatever. You know when you're arguing with someone and they keep saying the same thing? It's like, First of all, stop saying the same thing. It's really annoying. Two, let me fucking speak.

[00:06:13]

Yeah, but for the culture, name them.

[00:06:16]

Oh, has that become a sound that's really funny? She keeps saying, Name them, name them. It's like, Okay, first of all, stop saying that. Second of all, can you let me?

[00:06:22]

Yeah, name them.

[00:06:25]

It was really... Her facial expression as she said it, like, Kyle, I'm saying Sutton was off, and Sutton's really offended by that, but Sutton was off.

[00:06:34]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you're like, Insane for doing that.

[00:06:38]

I know. So maybe I'll continue with that, except I think Summerhouse or BPR is on tonight. So probably back to Regular schedule programming.

[00:06:47]

Bannerpump Rolls is on tonight. We have made... Just wanted to update everyone. An idea that was hatched on The Toast Live in Technicolor was Jackie and I were thinking about throwing a celebratory party for our six-year anniversary of The Toast Inception, which is coming up in a mere few weeks. We have made significant progress in the planning for the party, and I'm actually now feeling really excited about it. I need to find a dress.

[00:07:16]

We're throwing a party. I need to find a dress, too. We're also, what one of my ideas was that will come to fruition, which will make it exciting for others, is we're going to professionally vlog it. And what I like to call a documentary, We're making a documentary of the party.

[00:07:31]

I love that.

[00:07:33]

Yeah, for the Patreon. Sorry, I shouldn't make that clear.

[00:07:36]

Sorry, this is a place of business. No, no. If HBO Max wants to purchase after Patreon gets the first exclusive, we're down.

[00:07:46]

Yeah. We're going to vlog the whole party, but I think it's not going to be us and our phones. I think we should have videographers. Therefore, it's a documentary.

[00:07:53]

We are sparing no expense for this party. Should we have like, haucheture gowns made at an atelier in Italy?

[00:08:00]

So shoptoastmerch. Com?

[00:08:02]

Pretty much. Oh my God. We should have- We should have- The turk. Yeah. The turk.

[00:08:04]

Yeah. The gowns made out of our merch.

[00:08:07]

By the way, even the samples we did make- Like a tapestry.

[00:08:10]

A quilt. It's beautiful.

[00:08:14]

Yeah. No, I'm literally going to wear a custom off-white gown. You know how Hailey Bieber's wedding veil said, Till death do us part? It's literally going to say the toast.

[00:08:22]

Yeah.

[00:08:23]

We are sparing no expense.

[00:08:25]

Yeah, it's going to be fun. That's an exciting project, both personal Professional and professional.

[00:08:31]

Speaking of projects, professional and personal, I heard a rumor that the redheads are the type of gals who say they're going to do something, and then they fucking do it. Because it appears as though you've hired a social media manager.

[00:08:48]

Yes, it appears as though we have found our match. It was giving America's Next Top Social Media Manager, and we've met a wonderful gal, and I think it's going to be the start of a great relationship, so you might see the content really popping off soon. Don't be alarmed.

[00:09:06]

It's us. And don't be tardy. We haven't been hacked.

[00:09:08]

Because it might never be too late, but you don't want to be a loser. No, it's never been too late to join the Redheads, and that's something that I'm really passionate about. But if there were to be a great time to join the Redheads, it would be when we're about to dominate social media and the conversation online.

[00:09:27]

And the conversation online. Can I Can you say something crazy?

[00:09:32]

Sure.

[00:09:33]

I do feel like it's too late. What have you been doing? We've been literally saying for years to join the Redheads. Yeah, it's never too late, hypothetically.

[00:09:41]

Okay, imagine this. Imagine someone had a lot going on at the time. Maybe they were having multiple children, didn't have time to read every month. Keep up. But I will say, though, is what we can do as Redheads to facilitate anyone joining is something that we've been meaning to do for a while, which is a trailer episode for our podcast. Podcast page where we introduce ourselves. Because we've got a lot of girls on the show. We got a lot of personalities, and you might not know everyone who's on it. It could be intimidating a podcast with four hosts. If you don't know them- You do definitely need to do that. We will do a trailer episode where we introduce ourselves. We'll each talk about our favorite books, what books we like to read, some facets of our personality, our personal life, and we'll do our usual classic redheads banter so you can get to know the dynamic.

[00:10:26]

I actually started last night my Book Club's book for the month. We actually postponed. Everybody was just not available for the date that we had chosen. We usually have a rule, no rescheduling. If you can't come, you can't come. But literally, nobody was able to come. So rescheduled, which was good because I hadn't even started the book.

[00:10:41]

What's the book?

[00:10:41]

First Lie Wins.

[00:10:43]

Oh, I've been seeing it. Have you? And I've been seeing good things. It's a Reese's Choice.

[00:10:48]

I'm only about 10%.

[00:10:49]

Don't hold it against the book.

[00:10:50]

I'm only about 10% in, but it reminds me a lot of that book that you made me read The Social Climber by Amanda Pellegrino, remember? It feels very similar. I don't know if it's going to be.

[00:10:58]

So that means I would like it.

[00:10:59]

I don't know if it's going to be. I'm only 10% in.

[00:11:02]

Cool. Our book for this month on the Redheads, which is also why it's a great month to join the Redheads, is Buy Baby, Buy Carola Lovering, which might mean nothing to you, but Carola Lovering wrote Tell Me Lies, which is that show on Hulu.

[00:11:16]

Yeah, I just got that book in PR.

[00:11:18]

Oh, so if you want to join the Redheads, it's not- Do you need a copy? I do need a copy for my bookshop. Will you mail it to me? I don't have to buy one.

[00:11:25]

I actually got two. I'm on two PR lists. We've become really influential voices in literary I'm being dead serious about that. People are dying to get their books in our hands.

[00:11:35]

Yeah, for sure. Because if we love a book, we'll let them know.

[00:11:37]

No, we like... Jackie won't take credit for it, but Jackie literally invented the book. It happened one summer. Not when you read it. It was a joint effort, but it was your recommendation. Then when I read it, you had recommended to me. We talked about you invented that book, Tessa Bailey. She owe you a check.

[00:11:54]

Well, I have to give credit where it's due. Margot almost chose it for the Redheads. She was between two books, and that was one of them. I wound up reading it because she had put it on my radar. I don't know if she had read it yet. In hindsight, she should have chosen for the Redheads because that would have been a much more iconic episode than We are the Brennans, no offense.

[00:12:13]

The worst fucking book on the planet. You know what I just put together? She read it. Read it.

[00:12:21]

Read it. That's what the app- On Reddit.

[00:12:23]

Reddit is like, Oh, I read it on Reddit. I never put that together. It's like an amazing name.

[00:12:28]

For an app where you read things. Right.

[00:12:30]

No, it makes a lot of sense.

[00:12:32]

Actually, Kindle should be called Reddit.

[00:12:34]

I lost my Kindle.

[00:12:36]

Classic turdy.

[00:12:38]

It's my third one. You know that the Kindle Oasis is discontinued.

[00:12:42]

What's new?

[00:12:44]

That's the thing. There were rumors that they discontinued it because they're coming out with a bigger and better one. Nothing is new. I don't know what to do. I'm reading on this old paper white that I hate.

[00:12:51]

I like the paper white. It's okay.

[00:12:52]

I miss the buttons. The buttons are everything.

[00:12:55]

I'm sure you could get an old Kindle on Amazon.

[00:12:58]

You could buy a refurbished I just feel like that's a way to spend money on something that's broken.

[00:13:03]

No, maybe.

[00:13:06]

I'm actually really not a fan. I love a deal. I'm always going to be one for a deal. In tech, this whole refurbished thing where you can buy an opened box of a TV that's already been opened from Best Buy, to me, that's just a way to spend half the money on a broken TV. You're going to end up spending more.

[00:13:22]

I just want to say one time I did do open box on a TV from Best Buy, literally, and it was so inexpensive, and it was a perfectly fine TV, and it was a win-win.

[00:13:32]

Just that one time. I shouldn't have used the TV as an example because I actually think buying a refurbished TV is fine. How broken can a TV be? There's literally one button. But computers, phones, Kindles, I don't believe in it.

[00:13:43]

I feel like Kindle is one of those things where it's okay because it's so low tech. I think you're okay.

[00:13:50]

Or how about is anybody listening to this podcast selling a rarely used Kindle Oasis? I'll buy it from you. How about that? Give it to a woman.

[00:14:00]

Don't you have the hookup at Amazon? They don't have some Oasis in the back room?

[00:14:05]

The last time I was at Amazon Live, I was putting it out there like, Oh, no, I lost my Kindle. Oh, no, they're being discontinued, waiting for one to just materialize in front of me, and it didn't happen.

[00:14:15]

Maybe you weren't being overt enough.

[00:14:17]

I think we both know I was.

[00:14:20]

Okay, we'll leave it there. Let's see, maybe one will materialize now. That you've made your intentions clear.

[00:14:27]

I feel like something so crazy is happening right You're sitting cross-legged? Well, I guess that is nuts of me, but no. We're both drinking coffee, and I feel like for years, well, one year because I just started drinking coffee, you really make fun of how my coffees are basically milkshakes. Okay. Look at your coffee.

[00:14:46]

It's the color of my outfit.

[00:14:48]

It's a milkshake. Look at mine.

[00:14:48]

Yours is really dark.

[00:14:50]

Yeah, because I'm literally moving to the Congo and drinking coffee wherever they make coffee.

[00:14:56]

Straight from the vine?

[00:14:56]

Yeah. I'm obsessed. I'm such a coffee head.

[00:14:59]

So What's in your coffee?

[00:15:01]

Same as always, the Starbucks jugs. I'm a coffee head, and I'm drinking Starbucks. Starbucks jug, the cold brew, medium roast. It's not cold brew, sorry. It's just ice coffee in a jug from the grocery store. Medium roast. Coffee made sugar-free hazelnut, little splash, one splendor.

[00:15:17]

It must be the coffee made that doesn't provide a lot of color.

[00:15:20]

Well, I just don't put a lot anymore. I've been slowly pulling back. I'm getting used to the taste of coffee.

[00:15:26]

That's nice.

[00:15:27]

Where is coffee made? Is it Africa?

[00:15:31]

All over. Is it? Yeah. Rebecca was just posting pictures from her honeymoon. She was having fresh coffee in Uganda, I think. Yeah. But also there's coffee in Colombia.

[00:15:42]

Colombia. That's what I was thinking, not the Congo. Oh, my God, how dumb am Why?

[00:15:45]

I'm sure there's coffee in the Congo somewhere.

[00:15:47]

That's the thing. There's coffee everywhere.

[00:15:49]

That's the thing. It just depends what coffee you like and where you like to get your coffee from.

[00:15:54]

Right. Remember that episode of the Kardashian's where Chloe became obsessed, addicted to that? Was it Colombian?

[00:16:00]

What was it?

[00:16:01]

Columbian coffee. She drove around all these neighborhoods looking and she rolls down her window and she's like, Do you know where the Columbian coffee shop is? The lady's like, I'm deaf. Do you remember that?

[00:16:08]

No.

[00:16:10]

Classic. Those were the days.

[00:16:12]

That'll be you soon. Literally.

[00:16:18]

So now that we- So now that we- So now that we- Oh.

[00:16:20]

We've got our coffees.

[00:16:20]

We've got our coffees. We're all caught up. We've got each other.

[00:16:25]

Oh, something that you've been texting me about that I wanted to just talk to you about in person, but we might as well just iron it out right now, is tomorrow.

[00:16:34]

Yeah, no. Don't bring it up because I have something to tell you later.

[00:16:38]

Okay, sorry about that. I guess now, without further ado, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to Know.

Jackie, do you know what I'm talking about? When you need to move your ball, so you put this little disk underneath it and golf. It's not a T, it's the little circular ones, whatever. You can customize them with a photo. And Ben Where do I do it? I'm like, Try Etsy.

With so many collections to explore, there's sure to be a Caraway for every cook. Okay, by the way, I'm bringing a whole new energy to the Caraway ads because it was a slow roll out for me. My kitchen has recently gotten bigger, so I was able to acquire more Caraway tings. So now I have the... Do you have the kitchen block? And the wooden utensils? Yes.

[00:18:51]

Just got that. I'm an elite chef. Me too. What I also just got that I need to bring this energy to the Caraway ads is their steamer baskets. They They have two large and small. I've been making my own baby food and steaming the food. I was using my Caraway pots, but I was using a crap steaming basket. Finally got the Caraway one. I know now that now my entire process is non-toxic. That feels good for mama.

[00:19:14]

We also got the cutting boards, and Ben was hesitant because he loves his cutting boards. I said, First of all, these are disgusting, the ones we've had. They can be really toxically made, and also they're disgusting. So let's move on. And he's really been open to it.

[00:19:26]

Caraway shamed my cutting boards. I didn't even realize what I was doing. And they were like, We see your cutting boards, and we're just going to send you some of ours because yours are unacceptable. And they were right. I can't believe I didn't notice.

[00:21:18]

An absolute pleasure and an honor.

[00:21:20]

Our first story, Al Pacino is addressing his offensive and hurtful Oscar's best picture blunder, though it wasn't offensive and hurtful, but it was confusing.

[00:21:29]

By the way, it was just a weird moment, but apologies were not necessary.

[00:21:35]

Apologies seemed to be in order for him because he has broken his silence over the furor, over his presentation of the Coveted Best Picture Award because it was a little anticlimactic.

[00:21:47]

Did you watch it? Yes. Who does Al Pacino look like to you?

[00:21:53]

Al Pacino?

[00:21:54]

Yeah, but come on.

[00:21:56]

Nothing.

[00:21:57]

Ben's dad.

[00:21:58]

Oh, that's funny. Yeah, he does.

[00:21:59]

When he was walking out, I'm like, Ben, does anybody tell your dad he looks like Al Pacino? And Ben was like, yes, actually.

[00:22:03]

Oh, that is funny.

[00:22:04]

It was giving Bruce.

[00:22:05]

Well, he was there to present the top honor, and his delivery was just not the greatest. He buried the lead. He announced that he would be announcing best picture, and then he just opened the envelope and said, I see Oppenheimer. I'm sorry. My eyes see Oppenheimer.

[00:22:25]

In his defense, it's a little strange because there isn't, I don't think, a package like there is for every other award. The colonies are, then they go to this video because throughout the night, they give trailers of every film. So by the time the last award, you don't need to do the package. In his defense, now, he should have said, And the Oscar goes, too. And then made a meal of it so people know that it's being announced in this moment, he just was like, I'm here to do this, and opened the envelope.

[00:22:53]

He's like, I'm here to do this. I guess I'll open the envelope now. My I see Oppenheimer.

[00:22:58]

Yeah, it was weird. But Historically, things have gone worse for the best picture. I feel like as long as you're not reading the wrong Kurd, you're good?

[00:23:08]

Yeah. Plus, the Oscar producers didn't start playing the music immediately. I feel that helped. That added to the general confusion. Then once they started playing and they panned to the audience members, but he flubbed it. But also, if the producers knew that there isn't going to be a package, and this is the real envelope, it's not like a gag, that he's going to open an envelope and do something. Then they should have went on with the show, not left him there, bumbling in silence.

[00:23:34]

I just want to say, leave the man alone. He has to issue an apology. What is he? A hundred years old? Leave him alone.

[00:23:39]

He's 83, and this was what he said. He said, There seems to be... And it's not really an apology. It's like an explanation and a little bit of a go fuck yourself. There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the Best Picture Award. I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, rather a choice by the producers not to have them set again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony. I was honored to be part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented. I realized being nominated is a huge milestone in one's life and not to be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful.

[00:24:10]

By the way, Al Pacchino did absolutely nothing wrong. The only thing he could have done better. I don't know why he said, My eyes see Oppenheimer. Just say Oppenheimer. You literally had one job.

[00:24:20]

And say, The winner is Oppenheimer.

[00:24:23]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:24:24]

The Oscar goes to- Best picture goes to. Yeah, just a little introductory. He buried the lead a little bit.

[00:24:31]

I know yesterday. My phone is listening to me because yesterday on the test, I was talking about how Christopher Nolan's like a dilf, and I've ended up on like, Nolan Talk. Just a great place to be.

[00:24:41]

I saw this morning that all in all, Christopher Nolan made $100 million on Oppenheimer.

[00:24:47]

Really? Mm-hmm. Now, for a director, is that a lot or a little? I'm assuming it's a lot.

[00:24:52]

I think it's a lot.

[00:24:54]

I feel like those are James Cameron type of numbers.

[00:24:57]

Yeah, well, I think it pulled in James Cameron type of Who do you think is the greatest director of our time? Kenny Ortega.

[00:25:08]

You're such a star. That was the perfect answer. Seriously, end the podcast. We can all go home. Thank you. Clip it. Write it down. My God, I never could have come up with an answer that funny in my life. Brilliant. Yes, brilliant.

[00:25:25]

Thank you. Who were you going to say? And you're right. Right.

[00:25:29]

He is. I was just wondering because I feel like every year there's a director who's having a moment and they're like, Oh, he's the greatest director of our time. It's either James Cameron. Who is? Christopher Nolan's up there. James Cameron's up there.

[00:25:39]

Quintin Tarantino is up there.

[00:25:41]

Yes.

[00:25:44]

Guillermo del Toro.

[00:25:46]

Yes. I feel like of all the people we've just named, I'd still say probably James Cameron.

[00:25:54]

Yeah.

[00:25:57]

Greatest directors of all time. Now, this includes People who are... Scorsese, Spielberg.

[00:26:02]

Scorsese, maybe. For me, I think, for what I like, I've really only seen one James Cameron movie, so I would say Scorsese more.

[00:26:11]

Woody Allen, Spike Lee.

[00:26:14]

You had said Spielberg.

[00:26:17]

Darren Aronowski. Clint Eastwood. But he's also an actor, more so, no?

[00:26:26]

Both. He's really a director these days, though.

[00:26:28]

These days. These days, these days.

[00:26:32]

Who else?

[00:26:33]

Francis Ford Coppola, but he's dead.

[00:26:35]

Then Sofia Coppola.

[00:26:38]

Damn, not one woman on this list. Lul.

[00:26:40]

Greta Gerwig.

[00:26:41]

Greta is actually not on this list. The only woman is Katherine Bigelow.

[00:26:45]

Yeah, and she did Zero Dark Thirty, and I think she was married to or is married to James Cameron. Oh, my God.

[00:26:51]

We stand.

[00:26:52]

I think they're divorced, and they like feud about their movies.

[00:26:56]

Love. I need a movie about that. Where's Nancy Meyers on this list?

[00:27:00]

True. Yes, she was married to him. She does war movies, Hurt Locker.

[00:27:07]

Oh, wow. By the way, I'm so sorry. Francis Ford Coppola is not dead.

[00:27:12]

I'm glad to hear it.

[00:27:13]

Sofia Coppola is not on this list, but I don't think she's there yet.

[00:27:16]

No, but she's a director that's buzzy with a point of view.

[00:27:20]

And with a legacy. She's a nepo director. Yeah.

[00:27:24]

I think she holds her own.

[00:27:26]

What was I just watching about Francis Ford Coppola? Because I just saw a picture. Miles Teller. Help me. Miles Teller. Francis Ford Coppola. Help me. Come on.

[00:27:38]

What? Help. What's the name?

[00:27:39]

Come on. You know everything.

[00:27:40]

He's in a movie?

[00:27:42]

Show. Paramount+.

[00:27:43]

Oh, the one Come on. About the Godfather. Come on. What's it called? The Offer.

[00:27:51]

The Offer. Sorry, I was just joking. Yeah, it's like a show about the making of the movie The Godfather and the person who plays Francis Ford Coppola. I guess I've never seen a picture of Francis Ford Coppola until I just did that Google. Twins.

[00:28:04]

With Miles Teller.

[00:28:05]

No, Miles Teller played someone else. He played the producer. The person who played Francis Ford Coppola.

[00:28:10]

Is twins with Francis.

[00:28:12]

Twins with Francis.

[00:28:14]

Ffc.

[00:28:15]

Right. Having a three name name is pretty sick.

[00:28:19]

Like Vanessa Anne Hudgens.

[00:28:21]

Exactly. Don't forget the Anne. Who else? Because I feel like you can either be a Madonna, a Cher, or a Francis Ford Coppola. There's really no in between.

[00:28:31]

Well, then you're just a firsty-lasty.

[00:28:33]

Mary J. Blige.

[00:28:35]

Yeah. Don't forget the J.

[00:28:37]

I literally would never... If you said Mary Blige, I'd say, Who the fuck is that?

[00:28:40]

Totally.

[00:28:42]

Hold on. This iPad doesn't have diction, and I love to dictate.

[00:28:48]

Would you like to dictate on the show?

[00:28:50]

Yeah. If I could just right now be like, Celebrities with three names, no, but I'm still typing. Chad Michael Murray, Sarah Michelle Geller, Evan Rachel Wood.

[00:28:59]

If you said Chad Murray, Jackie.

[00:29:00]

Right. Jackie, who's this? James Jones.

[00:29:04]

James Earl Jones. Right. You have to think about it. Only because I'm putting in the work.

[00:29:08]

Who's Jonathan Myers?

[00:29:10]

Reese Myers.

[00:29:12]

Damn. Okay, good job.

[00:29:13]

Just because we're having this conversation. I'm working to guess. But if you said Jonathan Myers randomly, I'd say Mike's brother.

[00:29:20]

Do you know Katherine Jones?

[00:29:22]

Zeta?

[00:29:23]

Good one. Olivia John?

[00:29:25]

Newton.

[00:29:27]

Daniel Lewis?

[00:29:29]

Day.

[00:29:30]

She's crushing it.

[00:29:31]

Claudia, what about Robert Jr?

[00:29:34]

By the way, I love Robert Downey Jr.

[00:29:37]

Yeah, we should watch Iron Man.

[00:29:39]

We should, by the way, because Gwyneth is in it, too.

[00:29:41]

I think it's a good one.

[00:29:44]

Yeah, no, Ben loves it. I just said how Robert Downey is Jewish.

[00:29:46]

It's one of the good ones.

[00:29:50]

I wish that... Oh, Anya Taylor-Joy. That's really part of her success. I believe it.

[00:29:54]

Not Anya Joy.

[00:29:56]

I don't know her.

[00:29:57]

No, she's also an incredible actress with a unique look. I mean- But it's the Taylor holding her up.

[00:30:03]

She's an incredible actress with a unique look, but it's the Taylor holding her up. Title. Also a perfect example of someone who's literally so talented, but the three names really shot them to stardom. Wendy McClendon-Covey.

[00:30:15]

Yeah.

[00:30:16]

You know? Yeah.

[00:30:18]

Super talented.

[00:30:20]

Super.

[00:30:21]

Super. Are you ready for our next story? A little more Oscar's adjacent news because recap of the parties are coming out, and allegedly, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey rushed back from Singapore to attend Madonna's ultra exclusive Oscars Afterparty.

[00:30:38]

I doubt that they rushed.

[00:30:40]

Known as The Party, it was held at talent manager Guy O'Sierry's Home in Hollywood Hills on Sunday. The party was sponsored by Gucci. It had a strict no cameras policy, which is why we haven't seen any pictures.

[00:30:53]

Not even from the outside? Come on, give us something. It looked fabulous.

[00:30:57]

Yeah, and apparently, Taylor and Travis were there.

[00:30:59]

So Was this in direct competition with Vanity Fair, or people went after Vanity Fair?

[00:31:04]

I think it's after, after.

[00:31:06]

God, aren't these people tired? They wake up literally at 6:00 in the morning to start glam.

[00:31:10]

Yeah, but I'm sure they're on drugs.

[00:31:13]

Oh, my God. She's on fire today.

[00:31:15]

No, Claudia. I'm sure they just had a really big coffee.

[00:31:18]

Yeah, maybe a five-hour energy.

[00:31:20]

Straight from Columbia. They get their coffee.

[00:31:28]

Totally.

[00:31:29]

Yeah. Anyways, the party looked jumping.

[00:31:33]

Well, it didn't look anything because we didn't see it.

[00:31:35]

It sounds jumping, especially because that they would rush back for it. But I do find it a little surprising that Madonna has the biggest party. Have you been seeing these clips from Madonna's concert?

[00:31:44]

Of her literally screaming at a person for not standing up, and then the person happened to be in a wheelchair?

[00:31:49]

That's one of my least favorite tropes. Me too. It doesn't feel good when you see what's happening. Not for anyone. It's horrible for, obviously, the person in the wheelchair.

[00:31:59]

It's horrible for the person on stage.

[00:32:02]

It's also just annoying in general that one person can't be sitting at your concert. They don't even have to be in a wheelchair to have their reasons for not standing. They're there paying money. They're supporting you. They love you, okay? Can they sit?

[00:32:13]

Is that not enough? I completely agree. Then it also begs the question, what is going on at Madonna's concert that she has time to have all the lights on and look around to see who's not standing?

[00:32:23]

Well, I also saw other footage from Madonna's concert.

[00:32:28]

Here's the thing. Before Before you say anything, I want to say, whatever you're about to say, I echo wholeheartedly.

[00:32:34]

It's giving elder abuse. Who's making this woman do this? Her. Didn't she almost die recently?

[00:32:41]

Yeah.

[00:32:42]

She had a really serious health scare.

[00:32:46]

Yeah, she was dead.

[00:32:48]

Is it her that wants to keep singing and dancing? Because I'm watching these videos, and it doesn't look like she's dying to be there.

[00:32:54]

No, I think it is. I think it's her. I think she also takes her role as elder gay icon, extremely seriously.

[00:33:04]

Yeah, okay. She's happy with this?

[00:33:10]

Yeah. No, I think... And by the way, when we announced, she announced a tour, we spoke about it. I was like, What is she doing? Just retire. I don't think that there's this machine, weekend at burying Madonna. I think Madonna's out there because Madonna wants to be. That's the vibe that I get. Okay.

[00:33:24]

I really feel that way. I hope that's the case. In that case, live your Live your truth is all I can say.

[00:33:31]

The thing is, live your truth. I've made peace with the Madonna thing because I feel like every time we talk about it, some of our older listeners really hate me. I am not a huge Madonna fan. I think some of her music is catchy. I like the beat, but it's not for me. I know that it's really for older women in the gaze. They deserve to have fun. Madonna is not letting them down.

[00:33:56]

As long as everyone's having fun, then sure.

[00:33:59]

Yeah, I do. By the I do think everyone's having fun. Seriously.

[00:34:02]

Great. I love that. I take it back. Keep doing whatever you're doing.

[00:34:06]

Now, the calling out of the disabled, now that was tough. That was tough for everyone involved. I appreciate that she didn't just bounce back afterwards. She really sat in the moment and was like, That's my bad. I liked her bounce back. There's no good way to come back from that.

[00:34:27]

No. I feel like sometimes They don't even understand in the moment that the person's in the wheelchair, so they just keep going hard, and then they learn after the person's in the wheelchair. I'm glad that it was all sorted out in a mere second. In mere moments. I agree. I think she owned it. She said, Oh, that's not PC.

[00:34:47]

Yeah, no, she just said what we were all thinking. Yikes.

[00:34:51]

Yeah. My bad.

[00:34:53]

Yeah, that one's on me.

[00:34:55]

Yeah, and I guess that happens. But I do think in general, people can sit at a concert for their own reasons. Not every person who's sitting needs to be picked on.

[00:35:05]

I agree. That was what I really liked about seeing Adele, was that it's probably one of the only concerts where it's mostly sitting. You can stand But it's not required. It's just a different experience.

[00:35:17]

Yeah. I like to sit.

[00:35:19]

Yeah. One time I saw Michael Boubouboubouboub I think, stick with me. I'll never see Michael Bouvlet live again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should Google it because I actually once a week will think about his wife and just worry for her and seriously pray for her. I feel like he's really scary. But prior to that incident, I saw Michael Bouvlet, Ben and I, Date Night. Oh, by the way, I feel like I've told this story on the to us. You know one of my favorite things about Taylor Strecker is she always talks about her first marriage. Do you know what? Her wedding song.

[00:35:53]

I'm assuming it was Michael Bouvlet.

[00:35:55]

Yeah. Do you know which one? She was like, It was so weird. I don't know why. It was really emblematic of the fact that our marriage was destined to fail. What was it? Haven't met you yet. The whole song is about- It's foreshadowing.

[00:36:07]

It's foreshadowing.

[00:36:09]

When that song comes on, she always talks about it. It's so funny. Why was I talking about Michael Blue? Oh, because I was like, You know what, Ben? I'd love to go to Michael Buble concert. I bet it's a low-key sitting concert. The Michael Buble stands.

[00:36:20]

They were on their feet.

[00:36:21]

I'm sure you're unfamiliar with them, but he has a cult following older women, pussy-popping on the Dance floor. I didn't get one moment's rest at that concert.

[00:36:30]

Love that for them.

[00:36:32]

Yeah, it was giving very much like, cruise ship energy. He should go on a cruise ship tour. I think that's his target demo, Dead Serious. Love it.

[00:36:39]

Everyone living their truth. I need to go on a cruise. Unironically.

[00:36:43]

I need to go on a cruise. I talk about it so much. I just love the fact that I can't end the trip early if I'm not feeling it. I love having flexibility. There's a lot. I'm also on a spending freeze.

[00:36:54]

There's a lot with a cruise that I have a hard time wrapping my head around.

[00:36:58]

You, specifically. I would not say that a cruise is something you should do.

[00:37:03]

No. Even though I love large, iconic ships. You do. From the safety of land, though.

[00:37:09]

Land.

[00:37:11]

Landhoe.

[00:37:12]

Landhoe.

[00:37:13]

What was the story? I am a landhoe.

[00:37:16]

Big time. I'm a sea hoe.

[00:37:18]

The story was tailored and Travis at this glitzy Oscars party.

[00:37:24]

I care deeply. It's really hard for me to speak on it without having seen one singular photo. Okay. I just want to say I literally don't believe for a second that they rushed back. Taylor and Travis don't need to rush to anything.

[00:37:37]

It's true. She's on a two-month break, so they're just like, They returned from Singapore and went to the party.

[00:37:42]

When he's off and she's currently off, where do you think they reside?

[00:37:46]

I would say they're going to do a stint in LA, a stint in Kansas City.

[00:37:54]

A lot of people think that- Maybe something in New York. Around this time last year, Travis, after the Super Bowl hosted SNL, and with Dead Poets Society coming out, they think that maybe we would get a Taylor hosted. Travis hosted Taylor performing SNL. We should. We should. If people know what's good, but nobody knows what's good, so we probably won't. People on the internet have better ideas for the culture than the people in charge of the culture. You know what I mean? Yeah.

[00:38:20]

But sometimes- Every now and then. The two meet or just one is influenced by the other, and that's good, too.

[00:38:26]

Yeah.

[00:38:27]

Are you ready for our next story?

[00:38:29]

Yeah.

[00:38:30]

Matthew Perry's Will names the executives of his estate in a $1 million trust with a legendary Hollywood link. So the press has dug up Matthew Perry's Will, which- It's so invasive. Is public.

[00:38:44]

Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, no, for sure.

[00:38:46]

But according to a legal filing obtained by people, the will indicates that the majority of the late actor's belongings will be placed in a trust with a legendary Hollywood link. The document notes that he wanted to leave his items in the Alvie Singer Living Trust, which is seemingly named after Woody Allen's character in Annie Hall. His father and mother are named trust beneficiaries, and his half-sister is also a beneficiary. He indicated in his will that any children he had would also be entitled to access his estate. He never had kids. It also indicates that he had over $1 million in personal property when he died, which is in addition to what his executors had already put in the Living Trust.

[00:39:28]

Sounds like not a lot of money.

[00:39:30]

Yeah. Also, one of his executors is Mike Myers' ex-wife.

[00:39:34]

Who?

[00:39:37]

Robin Ruzan.

[00:39:39]

There were so many people in his book, girls, specifically, who he dated, some who were famous and some who were more like industry people. None of the names were the real people's names. I really was waiting for someone to put together a TikTok of who each girl was because I feel like... I couldn't even figure out which one was Lizzie Kaplin. He dated Janice Ian for many, many years.

[00:40:01]

I didn't know that.

[00:40:02]

I didn't know which one that was. I feel like it was the one who we went to go see in the play in London. I don't know. But one of the sad parts of the book was him talking about how he never had kids. It was something he wanted, but his addiction really got in the way.

[00:40:16]

Oh, that is sad.

[00:40:17]

I know he spent money really irresponsible. He also said he doesn't even know how much money he spent on drugs, but he knows he spent about seven and a half million dollars on his recovery in terms of medications, nurses, facilities, rehabs. But he's one of the highest paid actors on television. I think they make $25 million a year just from friends residuals on syndicated networks and stuff. A million dollar trust. Thanks.

[00:40:47]

I think that's just one of the... A million dollars in personal property, but he already had living trust, and trust maybe aren't available to the public.

[00:40:56]

Yeah. He also said he wasn't the most responsible with his money. He was always just buying new cars and new houses every time he got sober because it was a need to feel something. He was very afraid of being alone, that the house would freak him out. He probably wasn't, out of all the friends, the most in the best financial standing, but it was a lot of money.

[00:41:15]

But also without children, he spent his money and lived his life and enjoyed his life. Because even if there's this big pot right now, great for his parents and his half siblings.

[00:41:28]

He never mentioned at any point in the book, money being an issue when it came to drugs and stuff. It wasn't like a lot of... I forget what other book I read. Oh, Mike, The Situation.

[00:41:38]

You go broke. He was spending on your money. He went broke.

[00:41:41]

He went broke. And that's how he ended up accidentally doing heroin because I literally couldn't afford anything else. That book was so crazy. I can't recommend it enough.

[00:41:50]

I think I'll start reading some more.

[00:41:54]

Memoirs?

[00:41:55]

No, just I feel like I only read right now when it's redheads, just because I don't have a ton of free time. But just I was able to watch Beverly Hills last night, I could have spent more time reading. I think it's time to start reading more for leisure.

[00:42:06]

Okay, wait. Also, I had the craziest thought I wanted to run by you. I think in a few months, it's going to be my turn to pick for the book club. I had a crazy thought.

[00:42:13]

If we sync up? No.

[00:42:15]

I mean, that actually wouldn't be a bad idea, but that's not what I was going to say.

[00:42:18]

And then all the redheads could go to the Balabustas?

[00:42:21]

Oh, my God. Wait. They would love that. Okay, wait. But what I was going to say was I was thinking of choosing Demon Copper Superhead. Yes. Do you think I would like it? It's an endeavor.

[00:42:36]

It's work, and it's hard. It's long, but it's so good. It was my best book of 2023. Three. And those are the books worth reading. You will finish it, and you'll be like, That was a good use of my time.

[00:42:50]

Exactly. And that's what the Book Club is for, real ambitious choices, things I never would read. I brought it up to some of the gals because I had dinner with them over the weekend, and they weren't thrilled I'm not sure about it. But that's the point.

[00:43:01]

I remember in the beginning of the book, it just felt like I never got into the book until I just started just reading huge chunks just to make headway, and then I was in it.

[00:43:13]

If I don't do it for Book Club, that's a goal of mine this year to read Demon Copperhead. How about that? How many pages is it?

[00:43:19]

I don't even think it's that crazy. It's just so dense.

[00:43:23]

For me, I'm really not that smart. I can't read really intellectually dense, big I find that I have worded books.

[00:43:30]

I find... That just sounds so stupid. Neither can I. Anytime I punch above my weight, I'm like, I'm a dumb bitch.

[00:43:38]

Above your reading level.

[00:43:39]

Yeah. But I was able to understand this book, 560.

[00:43:44]

Not bad. Okay. I thought it was like a thousand.

[00:43:46]

No, no, no.

[00:43:48]

Five, six. I also feel like that's the type of book I'd like to buy hard cover. So people in the airport know I'm a smart girl.

[00:43:55]

For sure. But then you will never read it.

[00:43:57]

Oh, because it's visualized. No, I'm realizing how many pages you have left.

[00:44:01]

As a Kindle reader, it's harder to get into a physical book for me. Just is.

[00:44:05]

I agree.

[00:44:06]

And why would you buy the book that's going to be the heaviest book of all the books you read?

[00:44:10]

It's just so people in the airport know I went to college. I'm smart.

[00:44:13]

Well, you could also put your Book cover on your Kindle.

[00:44:17]

Not the same. Not enough people could see it from far away.

[00:44:19]

Or get a T-shirt that said, I'm reading Demon Copperhead. What have you done today?

[00:44:22]

Maybe I'll just get a tattoo on my far head. Currently reading, colon, Demon Copperhead.

[00:44:26]

I think that's smart. Are Are you ready for our next story? It's our fourth story.

[00:44:32]

No.

[00:44:34]

I didn't think so.

[00:44:34]

No. The fourth story is brought to you by Hatch. Spring forward, you guys. It's that time of year where our clocks are unwound. Your sleep schedule, your daily routine might be a little, reached a hiccup recently.

Thanks, Jacks. Honestly, I'm a big fan of low-lift wellness I'm not going to drink matcha. That's just too much for me. But things in the morning to help me feel my best and wake up restful.

[00:45:37]

Hatch has been the absolute game changer. It's the best thing Jackie ever introduced to me. I love the sleep sounds. I really love being woken up by light. It is so civilized. I feel like that's how the cavemen used to do it.

[00:45:48]

It's so natural.

[00:46:26]

[00:47:59]

Thank you, Claudia. Our next story, new celebrity skincare line, Dwayne Johnson debuts a men's grooming line called Papa Tui. So, wrestler, actor, director, father, and now skincare connoisseur, Dwayne Johnson has débuted his men's personal care brand, featuring skin, hair, body, and tattoo care products made with cleaner ingredients and focused on performance. Even more exciting, every product is under $10. It is launching in Target stores and on Target. Com on March 10th. His impetus behind launching the brand is such. He said, I found over the years as men, we can have these great conversations about working out, recovery, ice bath, sauna, and we can talk about trucks and cheap meals and tequila in our favorite movies. But every conversation I would have regarding skincare, I was always pulled to the side privately Hey, can I ask you a question? What do you do for your skin? In an effort to normalize men taking care of their skin, he used his business savvy and charm to create a line that falls into the Mistige Bucket.

[00:49:02]

Okay, that explanation, I was about to come on here and praise, and the explanation was stupid.

[00:49:06]

Oh, wait, that was going to be the opposite. You were going to come on here and clown, and the explanation was like, Oh, okay.

[00:49:11]

No, I happen to think Dwayne Johnson is in a position where any brand he launches, his tequila is so successful. Any brand he launches, he's just got that magic touch. People really love him. I think Papatoui is such a great name. It being an exclusive collab with Target, I feel like this is pretty fail proof. I think it's awesome. Under $10, I love. But then that explanation is like, Oh, we're ashamed to take care of our skin. Okay.

[00:49:35]

Yeah, normalized men's skincare.

[00:49:37]

Shut up.

[00:49:39]

Yeah. I don't think that men need to be as enthusiastic about skincare as women. I think that they should have a something that they like, use good ingredients, but then continue on with their manly things.

[00:49:53]

Yeah, no. This is for the girls. Stop.

[00:49:56]

Yeah, it's- Can we have one thing? It's just taking our stuff.

[00:50:00]

It's so true. We can't have anything. Yeah. But Dwayne Johnson is just someone I actually really like, and nothing he does really bothers me.

[00:50:12]

Yeah, I agree. I also like the idea of tattoo care.

[00:50:15]

Never thought about that. I thought the same thing. He's literally tattoo man.

[00:50:20]

Yes, of course. It would make sense that your tattoos could use a bit of care.

[00:50:25]

Yes. Also, I've heard of this. Your skin can stretch over time. The ink can dull. So yes, I agree.

[00:50:31]

So all in all, not a bad celeb skincare idea.

[00:50:36]

No. When I first heard the idea, I was like, What? But the more I thought about it, it's not a horrible idea. He's going about it in a good way, in a really accessible way.

[00:50:45]

It's not A Rod Men's Makeup.

[00:50:48]

Hims, right? What was that company called?

[00:50:50]

I don't know, but it was like makeup, yeah.

[00:50:52]

Yes. When A Rod launched makeup, find me the name of the company, because I do believe it's the company now Hims.

[00:50:59]

Let me I see. A-rod's new beauty line says about the rise of men's makeup.

[00:51:06]

Yeah, that picture of him putting on concealer. What was the company called?

[00:51:11]

Hims.

[00:51:12]

Hims. But, Jackie, Is that now the company Hims?

[00:51:17]

Yeah, I think so.

[00:51:19]

Hims. He teamed up with Hims because Hims...

[00:51:20]

That was the first time I ever heard about the company. He's an investor shareholder.

[00:51:24]

The first time I ever heard about the company Hims was when Aarod was launching Concealer, and I was like, Oh, okay. But Now, Hims is an extremely successful company for men and women. They have hers and Hims. You can get weight loss shots on there. You can get hair growth supplements.

[00:51:38]

You can get sex pills.

[00:51:40]

It's a big telehealth company.

[00:51:43]

It's way to tackle anxiety. Great. A man's concealer, you got a pimple and you want to conceal it, I'm fine with that. I think A Rod being the face of it is funny.

[00:51:52]

No, but by the way, literally, women have perfected. Go to Sephora, you could find... What's different about a man's?

[00:51:58]

No, but it's just about the branding. It's the same way- It's so dumb. We have our own Razors. There's billion-dollar businesses just built off of the fact that it's the same product, marketed to different people.

[00:52:08]

But it wasn't a success.

[00:52:10]

A Rod's participation. But you're saying Himses.

[00:52:14]

Himses, I'm saying the concealer wasn't.

[00:52:16]

The Blur Stick?

[00:52:17]

The Blur Stick, yeah. They couldn't even call it a concealer. It's giving fragile.

[00:52:24]

Yeah.

[00:52:25]

Whenever Ben has a crazy-ass pimple, I'm like, Get over here. I will put Nars on it.

[00:52:30]

Yeah, the best of the best. The best of the best.

[00:52:32]

Seriously, why bother? We've been at this for 50 years. More.

[00:52:36]

Because someone wants to make a dollar, turdy, and they see a gap in the market. I understand that. So they gave it a shot. Yeah. Our fifth and final story, a little human interest news.

[00:52:49]

Love.

[00:52:49]

Because a new report has come out from Jobseeker of the most of the most popular jobs in the world, what certain country, what most people is their dream job in that country.

[00:53:03]

Start again. You just spoke not English.

[00:53:06]

Okay. Jobseeker put out a report of the worldwide most searched for dream jobs. Okay. So by country, what most people were searching for. It doesn't mean what everyone wants to be because it's mostly like how to become a blank.

[00:53:18]

Got it.

[00:53:19]

Okay. For the United States, the most searched one was flight attendant.

[00:53:23]

That makes sense.

[00:53:25]

Same for Canada.

[00:53:27]

Chelsea's influence.

[00:53:29]

Worldwide, the The most popular one was pilot. A lot of people want to become a pilot. Learn how.

[00:53:37]

I find that interesting.

[00:53:39]

Yeah, there wasn't as much influencer as you would think.

[00:53:41]

I thought that's what it was going to be.

[00:53:45]

There is journalist, author.

[00:53:47]

What's your dream job?

[00:53:49]

I'm living it, podcasting with my sis.

[00:53:51]

Okay, but for real, outside of this?

[00:53:55]

It's hard to say. Dream, dream?

[00:54:00]

Dream, dream, dream.

[00:54:03]

Something I would actually want to do or something I think I would be good at.

[00:54:06]

You actually would want to do if given the opportunity.

[00:54:10]

I would quit this for it?

[00:54:13]

God, okay. In this hypothetical universe, the toast doesn't exist.

[00:54:15]

I have to just go out and get a job?

[00:54:20]

I don't know.

[00:54:21]

Are you saying practically or dreamy? Dreamy, it's naming nail polishes for OPI.

[00:54:27]

Great. Thank you. That was the answer I wanted.

[00:54:30]

Practically, maybe a teacher. I would think I would Excel.

[00:54:34]

No, not practically. Dream.

[00:54:37]

Dream lottery winner.

[00:54:40]

Not a job. Naming nail colors for OPI. What would you name the color of your sweater?

[00:54:46]

My Sweater? Espresso Problems. It would be my line.

[00:54:57]

No, Universal. Come on. Espresio would be better.

[00:55:02]

That's cute, too.

[00:55:04]

You could have done more universal, like Espresio Nassis.

[00:55:10]

That's cute. This would be a nice color.

[00:55:13]

It would. It's what I'm wearing on my nails.

[00:55:14]

Or they would send me nudes.

[00:55:18]

Yeah, like this new vulgar culture would do that.

[00:55:21]

Yeah, I guess that is vulgar. I wouldn't want my names to be vulgar.

[00:55:24]

Yours would be family-friendly.

[00:55:25]

It would be family-friendly. Birthday suit.

[00:55:30]

Cafe au lait.

[00:55:31]

Yeah.

[00:55:34]

What's your dream job? I, obviously, pop star.

[00:55:37]

True.

[00:55:41]

Would do anything to be a popular pop star, by the way, not just a struggling one.

[00:55:46]

But popular is not guaranteed.

[00:55:49]

Why? It's a dream. We're just making stuff up. I would want to be a pop star with millions of adoring fans.

[00:55:55]

Okay, you're working your way there. Yeah, I am. You could keep doing this, keep doing your comedy. Then if your next comedy tour is like, Psych, I'm singing for 2 hours, and you guys are going to dance along.

[00:56:08]

I would love. I don't know, something about just being in a gorgeous look with a microphone and just nothing but me and the music.

[00:56:15]

I think you should do it. You should hoodwink fans into coming to see you for one thing and just start singing.

[00:56:21]

It would be called the hoodwinked tour.

[00:56:24]

Yeah. I like that. Me too.

[00:56:27]

Those were the fast five. That was our show. Anything What else do you want to chit-chat about before we let the peeps go? I have to make hast at some point. I have plenty of time, but I do have my running coach today. I need time to mentally prepare. Also, what should I eat before?

[00:56:40]

Carbaload, right? But not too close in advance. You should have carbs first, protein after, I think. I think that's the policy. But not like, load up. But if you wanted to have a wrap, that sounds good.

[00:56:57]

I'm really worried about being in the park and having to poop.

[00:57:00]

Okay, so guzly or coffee and go before?

[00:57:04]

I did go this morning. Do you think you'll have to go twice?

[00:57:07]

It sounds like you're just worrying about stuff for the sake of it.

[00:57:10]

Yeah, no. Also, where do I put my phone? Do I bring a water bottle? I don't know how these things work.

[00:57:14]

Well, Some people, they have things where they put their phone, like a little fanny pack or an arm band or something.

[00:57:21]

Yeah, I think I need to level up and get an arm band.

[00:57:23]

Or an ankle thing. Or if you're wearing Lululemon leggings, they have these pockets.

[00:57:29]

Wait, no, I'm wearing Reebok, but I thought I saw pockets. Hold on.

[00:57:33]

The Lululemon ones have them on the side of your leg. They're really good.

[00:57:37]

You're right, but no, I'm wearing... Fuck.

[00:57:41]

You got to hang on to it so it could track your steps. Otherwise, what's the point?

[00:57:45]

Oh, my God. Wait. Yeah, you're right. I don't want to put it in my bra.

[00:57:49]

Fuck, I don't think I have. You can always hold it. I feel like that's what most people do.

[00:57:53]

I'm nervous. I'm not going to lie. I'm not feeling confident.

[00:57:56]

That's why you're going to train. It's just a training session.

[00:58:00]

Yeah.

[00:58:01]

Take it slow. Baby steps.
