Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy hump day

that for the Jewish queens in this room and globally feels really like a Friday because today, very sadly, is the last show of the week, but very happily because we are celebrating Rosh Hashanah.

It's the beginning of the Jewish new year.

The festivities commence this evening.

So I'm very excited for the Hag, as we call it.

I am too.

And, you know, it's such an important time of year for our community.

And, you know, you're really supposed to use this time to make amends and go into the new year with fresh starts.

So just want to put out there anybody I've had beef with like this year.

I forgive you for wronging me.

And get over it.

Don't sweat it.

Like, I forgive you.

Don't worry.

Yeah, I love that.

Any apologies I want to issue this year?

Yeah, sorry for slaying so hard at being so glamorous.

Sorry for making it so hard for all of you.

Sorry for ending it for all of you.

I got it.

I got it.

Like, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry for making it so difficult for you guys to dislike me.

That must be annoying.

Like, I'm charismatic.

I'm gorgeous.

I'm perfect.

Like, that's tough.

And I really do apologize.

Do you think you'll try and do better in the new year in terms of making it easier for people?

I mean, of course, you always want to enter the new year, like, hoping to do better, but we all know those resolutions flop after a couple of of weeks.

You are who you are,

essentially.

And I'm sorry to everyone who was sleeping on Serena Carpenter for so long.

Like, now you're awake, and I'm happy that you're here.

Is there any grievances that you have with me that you want to sort of flesh out before we enter this new season of

our year?

No.

I hadn't thought about it on its face.

No.

Hmm.

No, nothing comes to mind.

So really, it couldn't be.

If I have to think that long, then no, nothing's there.

So true.

Nothing's there.

What about you?

Well, where do I begin?

I hate you for being so perfect, and I wish you would do better.

At being perfect or being less perfect?

It's a little bit.

Being less perfect.

It's intimidating.

You're setting like an unrealistic standard for women in the media and podcasting landscape.

Okay.

So if you could stop, that would be great.

That's pretty much it.

Okay.

It's kind of a big one.

Yeah.

No, I think at a certain age, like you shouldn't, every year there should be like less and less for for you to want to do better on.

I do feel like every year we do talk about, I think our one cardinal sin in this life is the Lushon Hara.

Gossip, yeah.

And we're working on it.

We're not, actually.

I feel that we need to redefine what gossip is because I, and I actually really believe this.

I know I sound crazy delusional.

I believe like we have a misunderstanding as a

society of what gossip is because I think that that a lot of people consider like just exchanging information like oh I hear blank is breaking up like that's not gossip that's not what I'm talking about like I know and I feel like on this show like really we're sharing information it's when the judgment kicks in and and I know like sometimes I'm sending a text to you or like to the sisters and like I'm just like this is so mean yeah no I mean we've all been those moments but what I shouldn't bring my sisters laughs no I know and we've all been there where like we like either delete the text or we send it in vanish mode because it's just kind of like too real it's so crazy And sometimes you don't even need to say anything.

You just like send a screenshot.

And it's enough said.

Yeah, it's just kind of like a subliminal Lushanhara.

It's enough said, but does that count too?

The thing is, if God didn't want us speaking Lushanhara, he wouldn't make people so weird.

Like, honestly.

I agree.

Like, sorry, it's just facts.

I love that.

They were talking about Lushanhara in the Netflix show.

Nobody wants this.

And it was so real.

Like, listen,

I'm a person, you know, I'm just, I'm really trying my best.

Kim Kardashian was wearing a bracelet that said, like, Leshon Hara.

She deleted it because it was in Hebrew.

And I'm sure she got a lot of hate because that's like a normal thing to do these days.

And it really got me like thinking, like, oh, Kim is now coming at me about my Leshon Hara.

Oh, please.

I just know her and the swirlies.

Like,

they probably say the nastiest shit about each other.

Please.

Listen, we are just human beings.

We are just little girls.

Like, we are just trying.

Yeah, we are.

And in the spirit of our Judaism, we need to send love to Israel.

That was under attack yesterday.

Iran sent hundreds of missiles into Israel.

You might have not heard about it

because

people aren't talking about it because they don't care when Jews are killed.

And that's just a fun fact about our world.

We're also coming up on like the one year anniversary of October 7th and with the Jewish holidays.

It's just feeling like a very fragile time.

It is.

There was also a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv.

Six people were shot dead on the rail.

and it was just a really scary day in Israel.

So when Israel does defend itself and retaliate, make sure you stay quiet.

Make sure you don't pipe in then.

Oh my God, wait.

Speaking of politics, did you happen to watch the vice presidential debate last night?

I went out of my way not to.

Okay, let me tell you.

I caught some clips on the Graham, but like, no, I did not, I was not sat for it.

Okay, so I actually thought it was Monday last night and I got to bed like so excited to watch Monday Night Football.

And then I realized like, oh, there's not anything to watch.

But then I'm like, oh, well, everyone's going to be walking.

You know, I'd love to watch something that everyone's watching.

So I put, I did turn on the debate.

And

they're lauding it as like, um, like Battle of the Midwestern dads.

Like, they're both from the Midwest and they're both like really just like nice.

And the whole time, they were just like, that's a great point.

No, no, you, you really, that's a great point.

And it was, you know, the new rules of like, there's no crowd, and they turned the mics off to like make it civilized.

Like, boring.

I was so bored.

Like, I literally, I was ready for a knockdown drag out.

Like, I need,

like, it's nice to, like, hear people talk, but, like, from an entertainment perspective, I did, like, I actually did turn it off halfway through because, like, it was just like, it's too civilized.

No, I just not interested whatsoever.

I feel like a vice presidential debate, like, it's, it's doing it for clicks, like, for ratings.

Like, no one really cares, you know?

It's a nice idea in theory, and I feel like we've gotten to a place in

our country where things are so divisive that it's like, really, what's the point of a debate?

Like, you guys couldn't be, we're not arguing the finer points.

Like, you couldn't make more different.

Like, nothing's going to be, like, cleared up here.

Um, but the idea of a debate, like, you're two presidents and your two vice presidents, even also, like, it's a, it's a great idea.

It's a great, you know,

a core tenant, if you will, of American politics.

Yeah, functioning democracy.

So I'm pro debates in general, just they've really gotten to a dark place, and it's not how I want to spend my evening.

No, I did like when there used to be crowds.

Like, it would be, it was like WWE.

Yeah, but without that, it's like a show trial.

Yeah, and I just like, I don't know, I wasn't feeling it, but I'm happy for everyone and I'm happy for people in the Midwest.

Like,

were people feeling it?

Yeah, no, I think a lot of people are like loving this Midwestern energy that was on display.

And I think they made they made Midwest proud, you know, Minneapolis and Ohio.

I think like they both felt proud.

So I'm happy for them.

Okay.

Happy for David, David Muir.

David Muir,

the ABC News guy.

He takes himself so seriously.

And he is also in the back of taxi TV.

He does like a little like freaky news, little something.

And you just know he loves his job.

Like he loves getting dressed up.

I think he loves like putting glam on and like he gets his hair.

He loves being a star.

And that was kind of, that was radiating.

Cause I also watched, like, I thought it was on at eight and it was on at nine.

So they did like this dreadful, very like e-news pre-show to the pre-show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it was just like really like analytical.

But I just knew he was loving.

He's like, everyone's watching me in the country.

And like, it it was giving El Woods me yeah did he do the presidential debate was that him yeah yeah yeah but he didn't actually do the debate it was two swirlies yeah but it was his it was still the same network right and yeah it's like his show he does the evening evening news on ABC it's like it's his territory and everyone's coming like he he knew the opportunity was like was coming and he took it like he dressed like he knew the vibes

Nice.

Yeah, so that's what I did last night.

And then I also watched Gilmore Girls get you a girl who can do both.

And I have

something to say about Gilmore Girls, if you'll let me.

The floor is yours.

La Terte.

So when I watched the show, everybody was like, oh my god, you're going to hate Rory.

You're going to hate Rory.

And like, I do, for sure.

I do feel like my dislike of her has been influenced by people being like, you're going to hate Rory.

And I want to know where's the energy for hating Lorelei.

Like, I'm now at a place where Lorelei is clearly the worst character on the show.

Not only is she like so annoying, like

her and some other guy in the show are clearly OTP.

And she's like, we're just friends.

It's not I'm like grow the fuck up you're 33 you can't identify in an emotion like it's frustrating as hell and then in this most recent episode like her house was filled with termites the entire foundation of her house was um compromised like she and she needed fifteen thousand dollars now she's a single mom and obviously that was like not in the cards for her She comes from like an incredibly wealthy family that she hates, right?

You know, like, oh no.

And so at dinner with her grandparents, Rory brought up the fact that they have termites and like this $15,000 bill that's been plaguing them.

And Rory brought it up because she knows Grant.

I mean, Gran literally has servants.

Like, Gran can afford it.

Omen and Rory got in so much trouble from Lorelei.

Like, why did you bring it up?

Because the grandparents are obviously like, let us help you.

They literally ran to the checkbook.

Oh, Med, she had such a fucking chip on her shoulders.

No, she wanted to get a loan.

She couldn't get a loan because she liked it.

My daughter should live with termites rather than asking her parents who are, I don't know the dynamics of the show, but they're fine enough to have dinner with them.

But you can't get your daughter out of a termite-infested home.

So what she ended up doing was she tried to get a loan, she was denied because she wasn't an eligible candidate, but then her mom made a call to her special banker and was able to get her a loan only if her

grandmother co-signed it.

So, it's like, why do you just take the money from your mom?

Because you ended up getting a loan that you could only get because of her.

And, like, the moral of the story is like, this is admirable behavior.

Like, I guess she's too pursuing it for themselves.

Like, she's too proud.

I'm not admiring.

No, she's really pissing me off.

And yeah, like I have some other thoughts, but I feel like they're kind of mean.

I just, like, I'm not liking Lorelei.

Is it La Shonhara if it's fictional characters?

No.

Okay, here's what I'll say.

Like, the whole thing is that, like, her and Rory, like, came up in this life together.

They are so tight.

It's actually really cute.

She had her when she was 16.

So in the show now, Lorelei's like 32 and she has a 16-year-old, and they're like, like, super close in age.

They're like sisters.

And Lorelei, like, every now and then is like a hard ass, you know, strict mom.

But for the most part, she really trusts Rory and they like stay up all night watching movies and eating candy.

And like every morning, they're having like gallons of coffee for breakfast and pop-tarts and like she just like like I'm like go to the grocery store like make your kid breakfast like and she's like never at work so I'm I don't know it's just like it's like funny and cute but like at what point is it neglect yeah yeah

that those are my thoughts so yeah Lorelei's pissing me off I just I don't hear enough like and everyone is in agreement like the grandparents Richard and Emily king and queen of the like carrying the show

Lorelei's pissing me off like and make you like that guy don't be so proud.

Like, it's nice.

Some people would kill for wealthy grandparents.

Okay.

Do you know how many single moms would kill to have their kids' tuition paid for?

Right.

And you have such a gifted kid.

Like, there are some single moms who have the most fucking annoying, bad-behaved kids.

Rory is, like, literally better behaved than anyone in the show.

Like, I don't know.

She really pisses me off.

Well, I'm sorry for that, for you.

It's okay.

But I'm glad you're enjoying the show otherwise.

Yeah.

What are you watching?

I am not watching anything currently because I have been reading.

We just finished The Redheads and we were recording.

So like once I finished the Redheads book, it made me realize that I want to read more.

So I started a book by Corolla Lovering because I realized

Corolla Lovering is for me.

It's one of her old books.

I don't know what it's called, but I was like, the two she did tell me lies, which I didn't read, but I watched a show.

And like, the way that I love that show, I can't even tell you.

We were talking about it on The Redheads because we were talking about how it's so Colgate-coated.

And then By Baby, which like was another book that just felt like so,

so similar to like my life and my feelings and just like how we are are as swirly.

So I was like, I should read more Corolla Lovering in my life.

So I'm reading another book of hers that she wrote.

Too good to be true, I think it's called.

I, after I read By Baby, was also like, I want to read another Corolla Lovering book.

And it really felt like the only book worth reading was Tell Me Lies.

And I'm enjoying the show too much that, like, I don't want to spoil it.

If I had read Tell Me Lies, I would hate the show, which is just so unfortunate because I love the show so much.

So you really can't like love a book and then watch the show.

Look at Perfect Couple because the people who didn't read Perfect Couple love it.

Yeah, that's true.

Like, I don't, I've never really liked a book and a show, you know, or a movie.

Yeah, not nearly as much.

If I love the book, then the show ruined it.

It's true.

Except I think that didn't happen with Harry Potter for people.

Oh, yeah.

Well, and I think Twilight as well.

And, but we didn't read Twilight.

And Confessions of a Shopaholic, I can say.

The book, A plus, the movie, A plus, plus, plus.

That's so funny.

I forgot that that was a book.

It's a series, and it's the best books ever and we need another one sophie kinsella get to work she said she put out another book last year the burnout not my favorite and i also feel like now she like felt like pressure to write smut

because oh that's what sells it's trends yeah and i could like feel her like shoehorning it into the book whereas otherwise like sophie kinsella like doesn't do like

horny stuff but i feel like her editor was like this is what people want make them have sex write about it and it just didn't feel it didn't feel right.

That is so interesting.

Right?

Wouldn't you imagine?

Like, if you are someone who writes romance or rom-com sort of books, like I'm sure your editor is like, people want sexiness, like put in a sex scene.

Yeah, you're 100% right about that.

And I don't think every romantic book needs a sex scene.

Like, make the choice for yourself.

Artist's integrity.

Whatever happened to artist's integrity?

Artists' rights, man.

Artists' rights, man.

Artists' rights.

Where would the apostrophe go there?

I love that that's like becoming a viral thing of like people correcting people's misuse of apostrophes.

And I just want to say, like, you know me, I love the Oxford comma.

The Oxford comma is my girl.

I know a lot about the Oxford comma when it comes to properly like possessive apostrophe.

Like, I have no fucking idea.

Yeah, I'm not perfect either.

And there are definitely some words that trip me up.

But then I just like, I rephrase the sentence so as to avoid the apostrophe.

I feel like the inventor of the English language like really could have done better when it came to like possessive multiples, right?

Like the S apostrophe is some of the worst shit I've ever seen in my life.

It's ugly.

It's hard to say.

It makes no sense.

I don't like it.

Yeah.

I'm trying to think of examples.

It really could break my brain.

So I like those little cards that are going around that it's like, it's the holidays, the Smiths.

It's not apostrophe.

Or like when people get married and they're like congratulations

to the soffers, apostrophe S.

No, it's literally.

That one's pretty clear as day.

Of course, we don't own the congratulations.

We are multiple of two people.

That one I know.

Yeah.

At a wedding, there need not be an apostrophe.

Unless you're saying, like, the suffers' wedding was beautiful.

It was beautiful, but yeah, I know what you mean.

Anyways, that's Stacey's grammar lesson.

We have a good show today because we have stories.

And how would you say that they are?

Basinka.

And we have deer toasters.

The girlies are in need, and we didn't do it last week.

So we were like, you know, doubled over with

double the struggle.

The girlies are, as usual, deeply unwell, and we're here to help.

Cool.

Can't wait.

So, I mean, it's up to you, obviously.

Like, you're the captain.

So,

today is a big day in the business of lists because the Time 100 most influential people list is out, as is the Time

100 Next list.

So like that's like up and comers, I guess.

That's like where Sabrina Carpenter is.

What?

But she's not on the Time 100

influential people list.

So we've got two

sip through.

A second list is truly not necessary.

Yeah, I really think like 100 is enough for you guys to get it in at 100.

And Sabrina is the definition of not not up and coming.

Like, she came, she's here.

No, and like, she would have been next last year if you guys were right on your predictors.

It's so true.

But now she's quite influential.

I actually sent Claudia an interesting stat last night that I don't think anybody else is keeping tabs on.

You guys, it was such an interesting statistic.

Sabrina Carpenter has more followers on Instagram right now than Olivia Rodrigo.

That's fascinating to me.

It's really shocking.

It's really shocking.

Because I was listening to Short and Sweet yesterday and I had the thought, like, is Sabrina right now bigger than Olivia was at her height?

They play the same venues.

They both have songs on the radio, but for some reason, this feels bigger.

And maybe it's just because I'm enjoying it more.

That's why I'm asking you.

Well, Olivia Rodrigo launched her sour tour

after her first album and did not play these venues.

Like Sabrina playing arenas on her first album is really crazy.

Like, that were her fifth, but first.

You know what I mean?

Like, Olivia Rodrigo could have, but she didn't.

And she did like big theaters, like a couple thousand people, as opposed to like 15,000.

And now in her second tour for Guts, which is like huge global, I just saw, actually, she made a TikTok.

She did 85 shows in every country in the world.

Now she's, her and Sabrina are playing the same size.

So, yes, I don't know.

It's hard to know.

It's hard to call.

I can't call it because

I'm biased because I, I'm a Sabrina swirly.

And you, I think, I think it's also different.

Like, you really can't compare because Sabrina really, it was kind of amazing how every song she released, you were like, oh, it's obviously not going to be espresso.

Oh, it's obviously not going to be please, please, please.

And now the whole album is as big as espresso was.

I feel that way about Olivia, though, too.

Like, her second song was

like, it was not as big as.

Driver's like because nothing could be as big as that.

Like, that was like a lightning in a bottle, but huge.

And then everything she did after was like also really huge and the album became huge.

Yeah.

No, you're right.

It's really similar.

And not to put women against each other, but like let's do it.

Yeah, no, let's get down to the numbers.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Sound off in the comments, like, who had a bigger peak with their albums, Olivia or Sabrina?

Who reached higher heights?

Well, the Instagram follower thing is really interesting, even though there's so much about Instagram followings that like really I don't understand like the fact that Selena Gomez has more Instagram followers than Taylor Swift like really makes no sense to me like zero zero sense.

Yeah, yeah, of course there's so much of it factor in like bots and whatnot, but I feel like there's bots on every side like every yeah, there's bots every side.

The bots cancel each other out.

I feel like I thought you were gonna say it and I agree with you.

You really have to think.

I think maybe I look at it so much as like an American, right?

Like I see it through my own lens and you don't know who's like really biggest on the global scale.

But globally Taylor Swift is bigger than Selena Gomez.

Like you can't even convince me otherwise.

Yeah, yeah yeah no i think

i think it's a pretty good marker to measure especially when it comes to sleening gomez and taylor swift it makes no sense but that was also my it's never who you think i remember a little while ago somebody did like the real housewives who have the most followers and it really wasn't who you would think it was i think the number one followed one was candy burris that was because she had like a life and a career

outside of the show.

Yeah.

But the women of Atlanta were like all in the, like the OGs OGs were all in like the top 10.

Yeah.

Okay, but let's go through the Time 100 list.

People also don't realize that Atlanta for a really long time was the highest rated show.

Like the most people were watching it.

Right.

So the Time 100 list, not going to give you 100 names, and a lot of people that you don't know, they're like tech leaders and artists and whatnot.

But of the people we do know.

So for artists, and also who wrote the article on them: Dua Lippa by Patty Smith,

Dev Pate.

Dev Patel by Daniel Kaluya.

Okay.

21 Savage by Berna Boy.

Okay.

Aaliyah Bott by Tom Harper.

Jenny Holzer by Kiki Smith.

Coleman Domingo by Lenny Kravitz.

Lauren Groff by Ann Patchett.

Oh, I like Ann Patchett.

I just want to say, like, 99% of the people you are naming, I have no fucking name.

I know, but this is the artist category.

So these are like the famous people, like the celebrities.

Okay.

Jeffrey Wright by Octavia Spencer.

Queen.

Fantasia Barrino by Taraji P.

Henson.

And Taraji P.

Henson is also on the list herself later.

Oh, that's cute.

Leslie Odom Jr.

by Kate Hudson.

Wait.

That's random.

It is, but like, I feel like there's, I mean, there's obviously a connection, but I feel like it's a known connection if you think hard enough.

Okay.

I'm sure I could click on the article and it would tell me, but this is more fun.

Latoya Ruby Frazier by Lynn Nottage.

Alex Edelman by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

James McBride by Ethan Hawk.

Brooks Headley by David Chang.

I think he's a famous chef.

Icons.

Elliot Page by Raquel Willis.

Burn a Boy, I think he had written on 21 Savage by Angelique Kidjo.

Michael J.

Fox by Ryan Reynolds.

Thelma.

Thelma Golden by Michelle Obama.

Sophia Coppola by Rashida Jones.

Jenny Hermoso by Mana Shim.

I think she's a soccer player because she's wearing a jersey in the picture.

That's why I think that.

Frank.

Deductive.

Good deduction, yeah.

Frank Mugisha by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Motaz Azaza by Yasmeen Sirhan.

Sakshi Malik by Nisha Pooja.

Mark Cuban by Ashton Kucher.

Fun times.

Like,

you know, I hate to center myself in the Time 100 list.

Patrick Mahomes by A-Rod.

Oh, that's cute.

I mean, I could just jump around to the people we know.

I'm sorry.

I wish you would.

I know, but it's like some of the people in the first category we don't know, but like other people do.

So I was just trying to be like.

That's nice, but like, let's be real.

Everybody knows who we are.

As we get further down, though, into like titans i don't expect we would know everyone kelly rip up by anderson cooper oh okay andy cohen like circle jerk of best friends love that jack antonoff by marin morris

question mark question mark together i know there are so many other people he works with that are like more famous even sabriner yeah sabriner lana del ray taylor swift he's married to margaret qually like Yeah,

he has like an kind of an endless well of people he could have tapped.

Yeah, so he tapped Marin.

Maybe they do work together.

Then in the leaders category, which is a lot of like politicians, I won't bore you.

However, Rachel Goldberg-Poland is on the list.

As I had said actually a few weeks ago, that she should be the one, you know, when they do the cover.

There is the one.

There is the one.

There's like 12 different covers.

Sabrina's on different lists completely, Turd, and I haven't even gotten to that one yet.

We got to a place where like these lists were so amazing, and then they all collectively decided to like give everyone the winning slot.

Like why can't there just be one time person of the year?

There is a time person.

Actually, no, these days it's like the COVID nurses.

Like it's a group.

Well, that's fine.

No, that's fine.

Like I remember it was like the time's up women.

There's four different, like last year there was four different covers.

I think that's been going on for a while now.

You know how I feel about that.

I know it's giving sports illustrated.

Like, okay, let's give out Toasty 100 of the year.

Like, who is the time person of the year?

It's kind of like a lot went down.

And, like, the thing is, and I understand, like, obviously I see it from a celebrity perspective, right?

Like, I think it should be Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.

But there are other, like, athletes, politics, world leaders.

Like, I get that we have to cover all different categories.

So, not every year it's going to be a celebrity.

And I like that.

It shouldn't be a celebrity every year.

Yeah.

But I'm always going to see it.

Like, it's the year of Travis, you know?

The time person of the year.

Taylor Swift was last year.

Taylor Swift was last year.

And that feels right, actually, like, including politicians and everything because it was tailored.

But who like really was like the big thing this year?

Whether it was like a world event, like it's literally like the war in the Middle East.

But then like, and by the way, they, they, Time 100 is not taking a side.

Like when you were reading, like, Motaz is like a big Palestinian reporter.

Hirsch Goldberg's mother is, like, they really are playing both sides.

Yeah.

So I don't think they could just choose one if they were to make like the event of the year the war.

For me, it's Eden Golan.

For you, it is.

And I love her, but I don't know if like for everyone it is.

I think like she's representative of her.

Did you listen to her new song?

I haven't yet.

Eden was the Israeli candidate for Eurovision, which we like recapped thoroughly earlier this year.

She just put out her next song.

It's called Older, and it somehow is a bop while also capturing the feeling of Israel right now.

It's so gargy-pargi, la terte.

I can't believe you haven't listened.

And for everybody else, stream older.

You didn't stream skin when I told you to, and you missed out.

So listen up now.

Stream skin.

I don't know what was like the big thing this year.

Like no, it really is the war.

Right?

Like what's the most googled term or phrase this year?

Well, that list will be coming out soon.

So

we're in October.

List season is really November.

For the Slackers, it's December, but we start to really get the gear at a glance in November.

List season is upon us.

Right.

And this is the beginning of list season.

People sexiest man is coming soon.

We had that little teaser where we got to vote that I never put in my email address.

We all agree, like the lists are getting worse.

They're getting like more inclusive, which is not a bad thing, but I mean like everyone's a winner.

Yeah.

When it's like, why can't we just give a winner?

Like whether it's going to be hotly contested, but that's okay.

Like make a decision.

Choose someone.

Do you want to know Time 100 next key names?

I won't make you suffer through the non- Emphasis on key.

Emphasis on key.

Okay.

Artists, the number one, Sabrina Carpenter by Christina Aguilera.

Oh, oh, that's why they were together.

And they were also recording something

for Christina's like anniversary of her song.

Yeah, they did a cover together.

It was adorable.

It was Parch.

Victoria Monet by Yara Shahidi.

Okay.

Ashley Park by Tina Faye.

Interesting.

Kaya Gerber by Laura Dern.

Hiya Dern, Laura Dern.

Oh, cute.

Okay.

Scroll, scroll, scroll.

Scroll.

Phenoms.

Shaboozy by Jelly Roll.

Now, that is a good one, except it should have been last year, technically.

Because it's here.

Yeah, this list is stupid.

Renee Rap by Busy Phillips.

They look alike.

Oh, my God.

You shook the words right out of my mouth.

They are twins.

That's crazy.

Alona Marr by Lindsay Vaughan.

Oh, I'm so happy for her.

Have you read the conspiracy that you are off of Alona Marr?

I did read the conspiracy theory that no, no, that I have like beef with Alona Mar.

Yeah, you're like done with her.

How do you respond to these charges?

I love like the crazy things I end up when they're like harmless, right?

Like the crazy conspiracies that come up about me and you.

Like me having imaginary beef with Alona Mar, because I actually was recapping Dance with the Stars and I forgot to mention her.

When, mind you, mind you, you're all up Alonamar's ass.

Like I was there the last Olympics.

Can you say the same?

No, I invented Alonamar, you jealous bitches.

So you have to be.

So all that to say, me and Alonamar do not have beef.

I love it.

I'm sorry when I was recouping Dance with the Stars, I forgot about her.

But you know what?

I'm glad I did because her first week performance was really not good.

And I'm glad I didn't have to say that.

But look, now I said it.

Yeah, that's what you made her say.

You made her.

You made me say it.

You created the beef that you wanted.

Now I am continuing to scroll for another name in another category that we recognize.

I'm not seeing.

Alexander Wang is here.

Didn't he have

bad stuff?

Some something.

And I just want to say, like, maybe it's always awkward when somebody does something like unignorable, but they've been canceled, right?

That kind of I feel like is what happened with Morgan Wallen.

Like, he obviously was like radioactive, but his success was so unignorable, they had to like include him back in country music.

Alexander Wang was like, some really atrocious allegations came out about him.

And I don't think he's like really moving the needle like crazy amounts in the fact that he is ignorable.

You could have skipped over him and we wouldn't have been like, where's Alexander Wang on this list?

Correct.

Except like, where is Morgan Wallen on the Time influential list?

And Luke Combs, because they are, like, the biggest ones in music right now.

Like, them and Taylor, they're doing, they did the stadium tours.

Right.

They were right on the list.

Right.

The list is lacking.

Every year that Luke isn't on it, it's lacking.

Yeah.

Even though I'm sure.

The Bechtel test, the Luke test.

I'm sure that Luke doesn't give a rip.

Destemi espresso.

Luke waiting up at midnight to see if he made the Time 100 list.

No.

Were there any influencers on it?

I didn't see any.

Who do you think?

Like, I just scrolled through the whole next list, even where I feel like they would shove an influencer, and I didn't see a recognizable name.

Who do you think?

But like Alex Earl.

Right.

Alex Earl.

Yeah.

Even though if there ever was like a year for her to have been on it, I feel like maybe it would have been last year.

Maybe she was on it.

Like, who do you feel is like the big influencer this year?

And there are some, like, you know, evergreen ones.

Like, I feel like Michaela Noguero, the beauty girly from TikTok, like, she's.

Yeah, there are evergreen ones who are just like, that's their career now.

But it's terms of like who's Hawktua, perhaps?

No.

Hawktua, Times Most Influential.

I see it.

It feels right.

I agree.

And you better talk to her.

Talk to a.

I think that's a good idea.

Every time I see Talk Tua in the podcast app, I'm like, I love that.

You say that feels right.

That feels right.

Okay, so this lists i'm giving like a major flop yeah but how could we like we were never gonna be like a hundred for a hundred and can i ask you a question is the time 100 list numerical or they just do like five times

oh my god like they're taking all the fun out of these lists and it doesn't seem like the names are like in any sort of order of importance except for sabrina being top of 100 next

Boring.

Agreed.

Like I like to pit artists against artists.

Like, that's just a little bit about me from, like, an entertainment perspective.

Like, I love, you know, competition benefits the consumer, right?

Yeah.

And if they were on the next list this year, does that mean that next year they should be on the main list?

And if they're not, it kind of didn't bear fruit.

If you're on the next list call, they're homer, you should be on the regular list next year, God willing, you know?

But

if things go terribly wrong.

Yeah.

Because there are some people who like one year, you can't stop fucking hearing about them, right?

And then you never hear about them again.

Yeah.

And you don't even realize you haven't heard about them because you forgot about them.

So

we couldn't even give you an example because they're out of the ether.

Yeah, that's always so interesting when that happens.

You hate to see it.

Unless it's by choice, Addison Ray.

I feel like Megan Trainor should have been on there.

I'm kind of having like a Megan Trainer like obsession.

Me too, because I love her song to the moon.

Which one is that?

Take you to the to the moon.

And now like my Spotify thinks I love Megan Trainer.

So it's like, dear future husband.

I'm like, okay, shut up.

So I didn't want to listen listen to that one.

She came across my desk because she just sold out Madison Square Garden.

And like footage.

I saw she brought out Paris Hilton.

Oh, yeah, I saw that too.

She did like a lot to commemorate and she was like crying.

And then all these videos of her

show came across my desk.

And like, you really forget how many hits she has.

And like, actually, I don't feel like she gets enough credit for literally revitalizing her music career and doing it all using social media.

Like, it could be a case study for how artists can use social media.

Like, and, you know, she, they clown on her for making like tick tock music let me just say her music is good male's gonna take you to the moon yeah i'm listening to her new music and i'm not on tick tock so and like it does get annoying after hearing it so so many times like that song was good i could have my gucci uh gucci on i could wear my loo like

but even with nothing on and she managed to do it all while like

while being in like such a stable healthy marriage having two adorable kids like honestly not enough people are saying Megan Traynor is a role model.

Mr.

and Mrs.

Cortez.

Yeah.

And, you know, I went to a concert and I went because Kelsey Ballarini and El King were playing.

And like Megan Traynor was just like in the lineup.

And I wasn't going for her.

And it was actually really shocking to see like people lit up.

I forget that like TikTok fandom is like really crazy.

They were screaming, crying, throwing up everyone on their phones when Megan Traynor came out.

And I was like, oh, let me see what she's about.

And she is such a great personality too.

She like really carried the show well with her vocals.

And like, you know what?

I just feel like I'm not complimenting Megan Traynor enough these days.

Pargylicious.

Yeah.

Add her to the list if people were not complimenting enough.

Pargylicious convert equals conversation stopper.

Conversation dead end.

Conversation ender.

No, conversation bow.

Like we're just wrapping it up.

Or alternatively, add her to the list.

Yeah.

Okay.

Pargilicious equals add her to the list equals rip.

Equals totally.

I agree.

It used to be, we used to say totally more, but now now I'm feeling Pargy-lish.

I mean, I'm here for it.

Are you ready for our next story?

Maybe I shouldn't have ended the last conversation because this next story is seriously so disturbing that it needs to be discussed.

So here I go.

Sean Diddy Combs accused of new allegations in a set of allegations that have come out as an attorney is representing 120 individuals in civil lawsuits for the horrifying allegations spanning the last three decades.

So Diddy was accused of sexually assaulting 25 minors, including a nine-year-old, during a shocking press conference.

The attorney's name is Tony Busby, and this is what he said, quote, I want to focus on the ages of these victims.

When we talk about the ages of these victims, when the conduct occurred, it is shocking.

Busby said that Diddy's youngest victim was just nine years old when the disgraced rapper sexually assaulted them.

Quote, this individual who was nine years old at the time was taken to an audition in New York City with bad boy records.

Other boys were there to audition as well.

All of the kids were seeking TV or music careers with the promise of I'll make you a star, according to the attorney.

Quote, this individual was sexually abused allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio with the promise to both his parents and himself of getting a record deal.

The attorney shared other similar stories, alleging that Combs once forced another minor to perform oral sex on him in exchange for a record deal.

Quote, another instance, an individual 15 years old at the time was flown to New York City to attend a party where she was drugged and then taken to a private room allegedly in the presence of Mr.

Combs.

This female individual was raped and then other individuals took turns raping her.

The attorney further noted that the group of 120 accusers is evenly divided by males and females.

The attorney said, quote, we will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors.

We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.

He said that many powerful people and many dirty secrets will be exposed.

He informed that some of the names will, quote, shock people.

Right.

He said, from like the top of banks to companies to world leaders, like the names.

And I'm telling you, may God protect this man because he's going missing.

Any day now, he's going to disappear.

No, name him.

Blame him.

Name him.

We need to know who are the people who are doing things like this.

It could be people that we talk about every day glowingly on this show.

Like the behavior, it says

multiple allegations of violence, sexual assault, or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, and sexual abuse minors.

This morning, all of the headlines were like different bits and pieces from this lawsuit that's coming out.

One of them is a pregnant woman who woke up after being drugged and raped and her like genitalia like ripped open.

They used horse tranquilizers to drug people at these parties.

Like the worst of the worst, like we need names.

Now

no, and I'm just like, I'm having deja vu when like we thought all this info was gonna come out with Epstein and then like everyone disappeared and there literally was never a list right no

only person to be like, you know convicted of trafficking and who's the clients right right right who to traffic to right like Ghelane is gonna sing for her supper never happened

so for some reason it always felt like we weren't gonna get those names, right?

Like it felt too good to be true.

I didn't feel like I'm seriously like checking the news every morning for names.

Like here, I really feel like it's any day now.

It's also just so crazy, like how many victims there were.

And, you know, when it comes to like Harvey Weinstein, because now I go back and I watch Entourage and there was a character whose name was Harvey and like, I think it was like Larvey Leinstein.

It was clearly, and he was like this disgusting looking.

And so it was this open secret, right?

Like everybody knew about it.

And now if you go back, there's so many instances of like people literally saying it.

And I feel like Diddy, at least for me like didn't have that reputation right until and that's why it's even more shocking all of these things at least yes, but I I don't pay attention to Diddy like I was never really a huge fan of his music or like follow him on Instagram So it's not like I was like hearing things about him and like clocking them You know what I mean?

Yeah, the only thing people are now like going back and finding is this one Eminem lyric where he refers to P Diddy as an R-A-P-E-R and people think he's called a rapper.

He's like, no, I forgot a P.

Diddy?

Like it's like literally that's the only thing people have found as like damning evidence.

And, like, the Simpsons episode of a white party.

Um, oh, was there?

But I watched a little bit of it.

Maybe I missed something.

I didn't see, like,

the correlation.

No, no, he's the white party guy, but I didn't, I didn't see what went down in the episode that was like, oh, this is what goes down at Diddy's parties.

But maybe I just didn't see it.

Those allegations are so violent and so, like, I actually feel like I could throw up.

Yeah.

And, like, oh my God, what a fucking animal.

Like,

animal.

And, like, that's just like

that this has been going on for so many years, like, how brazen he was.

May every person who knew about this and like let them burn.

Oh, my God.

Like, the amount of people it takes to orchestrate years and years and years of these parties, hundreds, hundreds.

These are only the victims we know about.

It's literally been a month since this came out.

Like,

may they all be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Yeah.

And you know what they do to child predators in prison.

Hopefully.

Let them have it.

Yeah.

Oh my God, I feel sick.

Yeah.

So we will keep you posted on that one.

Are you ready for our next story?

Some happy news from

the happiest place on earth.

Disney?

Disneyland, Paris.

Kylie Jenner makes a rare return to the runway, closes the Caperna show at Disneyland, Paris.

So let me tell you, yesterday, my whole social media feed was just dark, you know, bullets raining down, terrorists, Iran, Israel.

And then I saw Kylie Jenner grace the runway at Disneyland, and it really put a smile on my face.

She is such a fucking queen.

I love this fashion show.

First of all, Caperney, like, is a really great house.

They make like nice, pretty clothes, like, nothing that you have to mine then to understand.

Right, no Balenciaga and everything.

Like, freaky geeky stuff.

I love that it was at Disney.

Like,

I'm sure up until they made that decision, like, no one would ever have wanted to do a fashion show.

There, it's literally giving like Orlando fashion week.

Yeah, who would go to Disney for their fashion show?

There's something about Disney that, as much as we love it, it's so, you know,

I can see fashion people like saying it's tacky.

100%.

Lowbrow.

But no, like, that castle is beautiful.

Sorry.

It's literally a castle.

It's a castle.

And when you, like, look at it in a different light of like a high fashion, she's a princess.

Like, it was pargilicious.

I loved this.

First, I want to say it's, you know, a lot of people, we were just having this conversation about Bethany, right?

Like that model walk is so hard.

And

even like, you know, how hard you practice, like if you're not a professional model, it's really hard to ace.

Her walk was incredible.

Like so, you would think she was like a high fashion model for years.

So graceful, but also so competent.

I feel like she is the most confident person on earth.

And that's why it's always surprising when you watch Keeping Up and she's like crying out like what the haters say about her.

But I actually feel like she is most of the time like so confident.

She just is like comfortable in her skin.

I mean, who wouldn't be?

She's like so gorgeous, but like a million girls are gorgeous and they're like, you know, hunched over and feeling shy.

Like she is

just

really exemplary in the way that she carries herself.

And I know that sounds maybe like

a high praise for just someone who walked down a runway in a pretty dress, but like, I don't know, she's got that genesse croix, as the French say.

And even, you know, every time the Kardashians do something, like, especially Kylie, she's under such scrutiny.

Like, everybody's like, well, this is bad.

Nobody said a word.

She did not give anyone a single opportunity to critique.

You could not say one.

She looked sick.

The dress was perfect.

The walk was everything.

I loved, and you know, like high fashion people,

like really, really hoity-toity people.

They like the celebrity culture is like an annoying but necessary part of like fashion week, but like it really should be like the editors.

Nobody could say shit.

Like she ate, she slayed the house down.

Boots.

I loved it.

She brilliant moments.

Loves.

The mouse

for Caperney.

Like, maybe they wouldn't have been really making any noise.

It's hard to stick out Fashion Week when every big brand is doing everything.

I loved it.

She looked amazing.

And honestly, I never even heard of this brand, but that dress was cute.

You're right.

Like, sometimes you see these fashion week shows and like it's so avant-garde.

You're like, okay, I'm never going to buy this.

Like, it's

good for you, but not for me.

No, she tied me up, Caperna.

Give me a dress.

Yeah.

And good for Misker Musker as well.

Like, this was a win for the Diz.

It's huge for the Masker.

Ivor is like seriously weeping tears of joy somewhere.

Agreed.

It was so fabulous.

And I feel like Kylie has like a bad association from Paris Fashion Makeup last year where like everyone was making fun of like her face and like what did she have done?

Like it was a lot.

I think she looks back on it as like a negative time and she was having, I think she has said, maybe it was two years ago that she was having a lot of postpartum anxiety too.

And now to see her like actually close it out and just like tell everyone to kiss her fucking ass, I loved it.

No, she's seriously the most beautiful person on earth at the happiest place on earth.

It was joyous.

It was abundant.

It was giving abundance.

It was giving abundance of joy for me personally.

So I just want to thank everyone involved.

And they can, like, and that's the thing about like the fashion world, like, you can still like do that.

You know, we haven't written you off completely.

Like, you can still have magical moments.

You can, you know?

And sometimes it's like obvious.

Like, Kylie Jenner is like, you know, she's not.

She's mainstream and that's okay.

Do you think that like we're so captivated by this because of like the magic of Disney?

Like, like, I I seriously feel like I'm under a spell.

That's how I felt.

By the way, I would say, yeah, because everyone is.

Even people like we're always going to be like Kylie farts and we're like, ah, yeah, it's amazing.

I love the smell.

But everyone else is like when Kylie does something, they're always running to find like a critique of it.

Nobody, yeah, we're all like under the influence of

Walt Disney.

100%.

They should do everything at Disney.

1,000%.

They should definitely hold like more

high society, highbrow highbrow functions at Disney.

Like I love the coupling.

Yeah, I mean Disneyland Paris is different.

I think it's hard because like in America.

I mean actually no, there's one in Anaheim.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Even though the one in Orlando like is the OG, it's actually the it's just hard to get people to Orlando.

It is hard, but

I think I think it's worth trying.

And they also have Universal Studios.

I think I might go to Universal this year.

Do it up.

Yeah, and they have Ripley's, believe it or not.

Kim went there.

Yes, she did.

And they have the Sabrina Carpenter concert and Rascal Flats coming through.

Do you believe it?

I do.

I'm a believing person.

They've not given me any reason to not believe.

Do you believe it?

I would say or not.

And do you happen to have that swirlitude?

Of course I do.

Okay, just checking.

Do you you think I didn't?

Do I look like I don't?

I don't know.

Maybe just your camera.

You looked like you were kind of lacking swirlitude today.

Oh, like, could you say something meaner?

By the way, no.

I was like joking and like LARPing and I accidentally said something really hurtful.

I apologize.

It happens.

I've been there.

Before we keep going, let me let you know that today's episode is brought to you by State Farm.

Did you know that?

Or am I surprising you?

To be honest, I knew that.

But believe it or not, today's episode is brought to you by State Farm.

So we know our toasters agree that nothing feels better than a personal win.

Like when you get a final piece of furniture delivered to your apartment and your home truly feels complete, you've hit a personal best in a new workout.

Maybe you're a toaster who managed to stop for a much needed iced coffee and still made it to work on time, or you found a new pair of jeans that finally fit perfectly, or you finally fit into your like jeans from high school.

Whatever it is that you define as a win, it calls for a celebration and who's cheering right beside you?

Our next story, another fashion news.

Nicole Kidman's daughter, Sunday, makes her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week.

So Nicole Kidman's daughter, Sunday, Rose, has officially made her run day debut.

The 16-year-old, who's the daughter of Nicole and her husband, Keith Urban, graced the catwalk on Tuesday as part of Mew Mew's Spring Summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week Show.

I was surprised because when I read this, I first thought it was her child, one of her children with Tom Cruise, who have been like shunned and banned from speaking to her, like literally leaving the house.

And I was excited because that means, you know, maybe the grasp Scientology has on their kids is slowly loosening.

But alas, no.

It's her and Nicole, I mean, her and Keith Urban's kids.

So that's great too.

Happy with them.

Love to see nepotism taking the fashion world by storm.

Some of my favorite.

The fashion world loves nepotism.

That's their favorite.

It's my favorite too.

Like my favorite swirlies are all, you know, really undeserving of their success.

And I love that.

Like, I really, really do.

Cool.

I feel like Mew Mew is like really crushing it.

Yeah.

And I, especially when it comes to like young people, like I think a lot of the Gen Z Zelennial swirlies, like it's Mew Mew is their like designer of the moment.

Yeah.

And they're always like dressing Alex Earl.

I feel like they do a really good job with young people.

And so tapping into an up-and-coming up-and-coming Nepo baby, genius.

The runway also.

I want to see what she looks like.

She looks like Nicole a bit, and she's got that like Nicole

facial expression of like the flare nostril.

Like she's doing the Nicole Kidman.

Yeah.

It was Sunday Rose or Isabella Jane?

Sunday Rose.

Oh, yeah.

Isabella Jane is Isabella Jane Cruz.

Sunday Rose.

Oh, she's very beautiful.

Yeah.

How could she not be?

Oh, I'm obsessed.

Yeah.

And then also, they obviously got like, you know, they were having a buzzy runway.

They had William Dafoe, Willem,

Cara Delavine, and Hilary Swank.

How many kids does Nicole Kidman have?

That's an interesting bunch of people.

Three.

Yeah.

So she has one with Keith Urban and then two, a son and a daughter, Connor and Isabella.

And they're much older.

Bella's 31 and Connor's 29.

Right, because they're from her marriage with

Tom Cruise, which for me is like a personal celebrity Roman Empire.

She has four kids.

Yeah, and she has two daughters with Keith Urban.

I didn't realize that they had kids together.

That's pretty parchy and not in a conversation-ending sort of way.

I don't think I realized that they had kids together either because they kind of give like second marriage, like, you know, sunset

golden years.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm.

So she became a first-time mother in 93 when her and Tom Cruise adopted their daughter Bella.

A few years later, they welcomed the son Connor into their family.

Though they split in 2001, she told Elle that the former couple's kids were raised amidst a lot of love.

They are generous and hardworking, yada, yada.

After splitting with Cruz, she went on to marry Keith Urban, and they two years later, welcomed their first daughter, Sunday Rose, followed by Faith.

So, yeah, they have two kids from, she has two kids from each marriage.

That's lovely.

I didn't know she was a mom of four.

Me neither.

I wonder if her and Katie Holmes like ever girly girl chit-chat together.

They could just swap stories for ages.

I don't think so.

You don't?

I don't.

Okay.

That's just, but what do I know?

Literally, zero.

And you know that I can't talk about Nicole Kidman's kids without Leah Remini?

No, close.

Keep guessing.

Without bringing up a particular Keith Urban.

Blue Ain't Your Color.

Turns his kids' eyes cold.

He wrote a lyric about Tom Cruise literally turning his kids against Texas.

I think Keith Urban needs to write a song about Tarek's armed hike, and it should be sung by Keenan's Uber driver.

And then like your life will be made.

I just want to bring up the lyric because I always botch it and it's actually really beautiful.

Let me just find it.

I don't understand how another man can take your son and turn it ice cold.

Now, he spells it S-U-N because it's like a play on like heat and cold, obviously.

But if you really look, read between the lines, these are not surface lyrics, you know, he's talking about son turning his kids against Nicole Kidman.

So what would Keith Urban write about Tarek Zarmpike?

I mean, where does he begin?

The magnitude of it all is.

There's actually a lot, like, because you could really play on like

woods themes and references.

Like, yeah, no, and also, like, whose point of view is Keith Urban speaking from?

Tarek, the gun, Christina.

I think you know, the moose, the moose in the woods, your point of view, the helicopter pilot.

It's like Tarek.

From my point of view.

Okay, so for if it's my point of view, it's really a song about like not being able to move past very, like, right where you left me by Taylor Swift Energy.

Got it.

I stayed here.

Dust collected on Tarik's gun.

I mean, actually, dust wasn't collecting, and that's, therein lies the issue.

Yeah.

Are we ready for our fifth and final story?

Actually, circling back to something.

I thought that was it.

No, circling back to something that we discussed at the top of the show,

but I didn't segue into it because it's very fifth and final story energy.

Olivia Rodrigo's Guts concert special is coming to Netflix.

Wait, how did I miss this?

To just sort of put a pin in that, Olivia Rodrigo has announced a concert special to debut on Netflix on October 29th.

The streamer will air the vampire pop star's performance from the Intuit Dome in L.A.

from her Guts World Tour.

She said, I'm so excited to share the Guts World Tour with my fans.

For those of you who didn't get a chance to rock out in person, now you can have the best seats in the house.

And to the fans who cheered, screamed, and danced with me, I'm so glad we got to do it all over again.

I love

concert movies.

I think that there was a time where we were getting so many, like Beyonce, Taylor, Reputation.

Like, I love to watch a concert from home and I love that Netflix does it.

Like the Ben Platt one was really good too.

Like they do all different kinds, you know?

Love.

Yeah.

But you saw her on tour?

I did.

So you'll be part of the latter group that she discussed of people enjoying it again.

Yeah, she was thinking me.

I might be part of the former group of people who didn't get to see it but could watch at home.

And I think I would

I could see myself being in this headspace of needing a little concert, a little getting ready, listening, watching something.

Yeah.

You know,

it's perfect like sitting back around watching, mindless.

I love concert DVDs.

And like more of this.

I like them in general too.

I mean, obviously no one could ever do it better than Hannah Montana and Miley Siret's best of both worlds, but you could try, but keep trying.

No, and I welcome it.

Please try.

Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

Hannah Montana.

No, the moon is Hannah Montana.

You'll land among like one direction.

That was a great one.

Beautiful.

Your favorite one.

What's your favorite one?

There was a time, Sean Mendez, there was a time where like these movies were so popular, they were being like released in theaters.

And then they've heard of me.

Well, then I think that they went to like hybrid concert slash documentaries, which is fine.

It depends on the person.

I don't love it.

Like, Beyonce's Homecoming was half documentary, half.

And I actually liked it because the prep was so insane.

And she was talking a lot about her post-baby weight.

Like, that was really interesting.

Sometimes people aren't interesting.

Like, maybe just sing.

Like, not to be one of those people, but shut up and sing.

Shut up and sing.

Sean Mendez.

Shut up and sing.

So then we got to a place where it was was like hybrid.

And I don't really, it's touch and go, but overall, I don't think I like that.

Now I feel like, you know, real hardcore concert movies are coming back.

Bring them back.

Bring them back.

I mean, like, the Aeros Tour was, I forgot about that part of like my life where that movie was coming out.

That was like some of the most fun I've ever had at home and at the theater.

I look forward to that after I see it live.

We are underratedly going so soon.

We still have outfits.

We still have on plan.

I ordered stuff for us.

I ordered stuff for you.

What did you order that dress?

Yeah.

Oh, great, great, great.

Okay.

So we got something, but like I have a closet full of outfits that are made for the era store.

Like, let's get real.

We will figure it out.

I've got a closet full of seamless and boots.

So, we are going to move on to Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment, where we read three submissions from three swirlies in need.

So, today we have some really interesting

submissions.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Hey, Jackson Claude.

I recently found an old iPad in one of my husband's storage units when we were moving.

I charged the iPad, and it turns out it is his ex-girlfriend's iPad with all of her old social media accounts still logged in.

I am so nosy, so my best friend and I went through these to see if she was talking shit about me.

She was, but she found out recently and she is claiming that this is like a huge invasion of privacy.

What do you both think?

I know I shouldn't have snooped, but I think an invasion of privacy is like a little far-fetched.

Um,

I mean, it is an invasion of privacy.

You invaded her privacy, uh, but it's not like she's like gonna sue you.

It's an invasion of privacy.

Okay, next.

Yeah, it is an invasion of privacy.

Um,

but

like it was there.

What only like seriously, the a really big person wouldn't look.

No, of course.

And like, by the way, like, she didn't just go around leaving her shit places.

Like, things are gonna happen.

Yeah.

These are the consequences of her actions.

But, like, you didn't break the law.

And how did she find out that you looked at it?

And also like what sort of like small circle is this that like you see your ex's iPad and you start looking to see if she's talking shit about you like who cares what she thinks about you like I would look to see you know if he's still reaching out to her or something like I don't know

by the way if it was the exact don't you find this a half-baked story if this was

the ex's iPad like that she owned you have like notifications about your devices like through your iCloud and stuff or through your social media like sometimes Instagram would be like there was a login attempt and they'll literally give you the address if you like zoom in on the map like but they didn't attempt to log in It was already logged in Yeah, no, but like why is your exercise iPad?

How

how far away

ex also like how how much time in between sounds like literally the ex of one day and that's why you went to go look because why else would she be talking shit about you?

Did you steal her man?

I this is not the whole story.

Oh wow.

Jacuse.

I'm just saying it's giving not the whole story because also like then how did she know that you snooped unless like you literally share a best friend who told her that you snooped.

And then who is she accusing you of invading her privacy to?

Because why do you care what she says about you?

Why do you know her?

No, but let's say she found out in a not nefarious way, like through her iPad or whatever.

How did she then get in contact with you that like you invaded her privacy?

Did she tell the boyfriend?

Why is your boyfriend still talking to his ex?

But even if she found out that you got into her iPad because she literally left it by you and you just charged it, you could have charged it and not read anything.

She knows what you read because someone close to you told her, which means you guys are just too close and you all need to separate a bit.

So So you're saying, break up.

I'm saying,

who's really the third in this relationship?

Chilling.

Did your ex tell?

Like, I'm just saying, this is not the whole story, and I can't operate with half the information.

This is a really funny one, okay?

My husband and I are both full-time college students, and when we got married, we made goals that focused on building our financial stability and our career so that when we finish school, we'll be ready to buy a home and have kids.

Because of this, we've had to be very frugal with our expenses and cut back on things.

My husband has been very good at finding odd jobs, so he can make a little extra money for fun stuff.

Well, his newest endeavor is driving me crazy.

Last year, my husband decided he wanted to become TikTok famous and make extra money from it.

I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now his account has grown where he actually can make money off of the creator fund and he's managed to make a couple thousand dollars or more a month, which is great.

The problem is, I hate his content.

What is the content?

He runs an account where he interviews random people at the grocery store and makes like funny bits out of it.

He's gotten complaints from some of these store owners about it and they've had to make criteria for what he can and cannot film in their stores.

We live in a relatively small town, so family and friends have seen him doing it and I think it's so embarrassing.

He's also constantly on TikTok scrolling for ideas and editing and I genuinely feel like the extra money is not worth

my husband gallivanting around town, shoving his phone in people's faces.

He says it's become a fun hobby for him and wishes that I would support his success and I'd rather be poor right now while we focus on building our careers.

Am I wrong?

Secretly, sincerely, an embarrassed toaster.

Oh my gosh, like you're not wrong, but I really don't know what you could do about this.

First of all, he needs to like maybe stay out of the grocery store.

Can he do just like man on the street in your town?

Like in a place where he's not like bothering people and causing problems?

No, I feel like the solve here is like seriously to do this in another town.

Like it's that town's problem.

They don't know you there.

Like you can you should like go to another town for the day

content day.

No like seriously drop him off.

But what does she do about the fact that he's like constantly working on his content editing and

that can be like worked on, right?

Like you can set boundaries with social media and if you're making a lot of money like you can hire an editor to take some of that shit off your plate, like if you're really making money.

Or it's like if this thousand dollars you have between, like you stop editing at six o'clock, like after six o'clock, no more editing.

Like do it during working hours.

Yeah.

But also like, and I understand like the issue here, but a couple thousand dollars a month is a lot of money.

Yeah.

So like like, let's make it work.

The answer is not like getting him to stop completely.

And the thing is, if he works hard on it, like he might be making way more soon.

So I don't think he should stop.

And also, I think it will cause a problem if you, if he's loving this and you tell him to stop and he it will just cause resentment.

So we do have to find a way to live with it and to like get it out of your face.

Yeah.

So I actually think starting like making this content like an hour drive away from you like will solve a lot of your problems.

It'll solve like the store owner issues, then people in town.

And then like have a healthy conversation about like phone usage in the home, like boundaries.

I think that's totally wrong.

I actually think a lot of people have that.

Like I know a lot of people like are not allowed to bring their phones to the dinner table.

Like and you have like set times.

So, it's all new to him.

So, he's probably like overwhelmed.

But stopping everything is not the answer.

Like, that's a lot of money.

And if you work at it, it could be more.

I agree.

And actually, I'm glad he's making money because, like, if it gives you a reason to not stop him, because if he was making no money, like, and he still wanted to keep doing this,

there wouldn't, like, I just, just let him do it.

You just got to let him.

Yeah.

And like, you need to get comfortable with like this being your husband's hobby, but there are ways to make it better.

And I got 20 on Fork of July.

Oh my god, did I write this?

No, I literally wrote this.

Okay, ready?

Mm-hmm.

Hi, Swirlies.

First off, I credit you guys for my pop culture knowledge.

I love you so much.

Literally, everyone comes to me for pop culture, and I know everything because of you guys.

Wow, obsessed.

So here's my question: My grandpa's grandpa name is Cooter.

I love, like, I love that so much.

That's so meat-coated.

It was not a problem for me until recently.

I'm 23, and people are like thinking I'm so weird for having a grandpa named Cooter, which, like, fair, but this man refuses to change his grandpa name.

What is a good comeback for this?

Because I feel like such a weenie that I have a grandpa named Cooter.

Love a toaster who needs better comebacks.

Okay, first of all, you are 23, and like, there are people around you who are making fun of you for your grandpa.

Like, those people are evil.

And they immediately, no, seriously, they immediately need to be cut out of your life.

Like, I thought, seriously, when I read this, I'm like, oh, maybe a 12-year-old's writing in, like, bitch, you're 23.

Like, you actually have people in your life who are bullying you.

Like, no, and who are like making you feel bad about something like one that's innocent and sweet and precious and innocuous.

Like, so much so that you're going to your grandfather to ask him to change his name.

Like, bitch, he's 100 years old.

Like, no.

No, I think it's a really good backdoor.

I don't even think it's a bad name.

You should have this person in your life.

Like, can I tell you my grandpa is scooter without you making fun of me?

Great.

If so, come on in.

Yeah.

No, and the great thing about being like an adult with free will is like, it's not like we're all in high school and like this group of friends, you have to make it work with.

You don't need these people in your life.

And honestly, like, I know it sounds dramatic, but like family is so important.

Grandparents are so precious.

Like, your grandfather wins here.

And the name isn't even bad.

It's actually a cute name.

Like, Scooter.

So cute.

This is going to end up being a blessing.

Anyone in your life who has one fucking thing to say about this, good day, sir.

That's really crazy that they would have an opinion on that.

I would recommend to them to get a life and they can have opinions on their own lives.

Loser lamer wanna be like, oh, totally.

Get out of here, scram.

Loser lamer.

Me and Cooter will like ride off into the sunset.

How about that?

You should do this the next time somebody makes fun of it.

Loser losele, double loser,

as if whatever.

Get the picture done.

Yeah, bye.

That's our show.
