The Influencer Mentor: Monday, May 22nd, 2023

Good morning, Millennials, and welcome back to the toast.

Happy Monday, which should be just terrible.

But here's why it's not, Jax.

Ready?

I think I know why.

One, we're together.

And like, seriously, how bad can life be when I'm sitting here with my sis?

Life's good.

Two, it's a short week.

We've got a holiday weekend, a bank holiday, whatever you want to call it this weekend.

Don't fret.

It's really, if you think about it, Tuesday.

Technically speaking.

Yeah, if you want to to get technical.

Yeah, no, it's very, very exciting to be embarking on a shirt week.

Is that what you thought I was going to say?

No, we have a really exciting afternoon planned.

Oh, we do.

That just puts a pep in the step.

Yeah, it's a big BHD.

I don't know if you guys know what that is, BHD.

A big Harry Day.

We got big plans with Harry.

Yeah, Harry kind of like scheduled time with me last week today.

I cleared my schedule and I kind of got like extra dressed up.

I showed a little leg for Harry.

Harry loves a little leg.

I think he'll find, I feel like he could play with the prickly hairs on my legs.

They're like fascinating.

I feel like he could play with that for like 30 minutes.

We'll give him a shot.

Yeah.

We'll see what he says.

It's going to be his first time at the studio.

It is.

And I don't know.

I guess we should have cleaned up or something, like gotten some balloons.

I don't know.

Yeah, no, he loves cords and he loves lights.

He's going to freak.

He loves cords.

And lights.

Feels like maybe he's taking after his auntie and wants to work in I.T.

Maybe.

You're kind of been his mentor.

Like, yeah, I would say muse, but sure.

Yeah, his, what is that called?

Inspiration?

Like a person.

I guess a mentor.

Yeah, but like, it's not a strong enough word for what Harry and I have.

Yeah.

Do you have a mentor?

That's a really good question.

I think I would say in not in all walks of life, but in many walks of life, I would consider Brian a mentor of mine.

Yeah.

Like about business and money.

I think when you have a mentor, it's like established that they're your mentor.

Like now, when I think about

Brian and say, like, do you think you're my mentor?

No, no, that sounds like you're accusing him of considering yourself the mentor.

I'm going to say that.

Would you say you're my mentor?

Would you say

that you're my mentor?

Like, I kind of feel like when people have a mentor, it's like a conversation they have.

Like, will you be my mentor?

Right, no, there's like an interview.

Like, there's like a declaration.

And you're like their chosen one and vice versa.

And it's a very...

flattering to be someone's mentor, but it's also a huge opportunity to be a mentee.

I also feel like in a lot of ways, like you're my mentor.

Because when I think about like, okay, if I have a decision to make, who do i call yeah like you mom brian but like a mentor is someone who is like intentionally shepherding you through the workplace really and your career and like i'm just your big sis and i love to give you advice that's why i didn't say you at first because it's like so obvious like my mentor i feel like brian honestly yeah but he's also your friend like do you thinkor mentee relationship for sure but he's like not

textbook mentor no no we're but we've never been traditional girlies me and brian you know that's true Just breaking, you know, glass ceilings and such.

I feel like people don't have mentors anymore in its shows.

I think it's definitely like an outdated concept.

But it's a nice one, but I just, I don't know how to get linked up with a mentor.

I certainly don't have a mentor.

No, I think it's definitely hard to find a mentor, which is why when you have one, it's like such a sacred bond and relationship.

Yeah.

You don't go through mentors like you go through bosses.

Yeah, no, and like whatever company you go to, like they still mentor.

You met at one company.

Like they're still your mentor.

They're still menting.

They kind of mentor you forever.

It's a lifelong thing, I feel.

It's kind of a really sweet relationship, and I feel like there should be more of them.

Well, I'll keep you posted.

Brian hasn't answered me yet, so I'll keep you posted on whether it's a mutual.

But it's like if we needed, if we got mentors, they would have to be like kind of big wigs in entertainment or broadcasting.

Yep.

Who's your dream mentor?

Oh, my dream mentor, dead or alive?

Joan Rivers.

Alive.

Kelly Clarkson is alive.

Yeah, Kelly.

Like Taylor, like obviously, but it's like such a lame answer.

I don't know, but like really, like, Kelly works in every space that like I would want to work in.

Yeah, furniture.

Furniture, including talk show.

Right, right.

You know what I mean?

I actually think that she could be of service to me.

I don't know.

I don't really feel like there's anybody out there who I would want to be my mentor, thus just kind of propelling me forward to be the mentor I wish to see in the world.

That's beautiful.

Like, I hope there's millions of young girls out there saying, my dream mentor is Claudia, you know?

Would you mentor anyone?

Sure.

I feel like I dabble.

I feel like you dabble too, because you are.

Shut up.

What did I call you?

The influencer mentor.

The influencer mentor.

Yeah, Jack can basically just call me old, but no.

I've gotten comfortable with the title.

But that's really like actually what you were just referring to.

Yeah.

When you said you dabble,

you are kind of an influencer mentor.

There are like a bunch of girlies girlies who I think seek out my advice pretty frequently, and I'm more than willing to give.

Yeah.

And I feel like I've actually made some really popular, like especially Remy.

Like when Remy has an issue, I feel like she actually comes to me a lot.

And I feel like I give very sound, sage advice.

The influencer mentor.

Yeah.

That should be.

You kind of spoke it into existence.

Well, I was just picking up what you were already putting down.

Right.

Still no response from Ryan.

Just checking.

I feel like a mentor should respond sooner.

Yeah, no, I agree.

It's kind of like, well.

I guess not.

Maybe he's so busy responding to his actual mentees.

Perhaps not.

Perhaps not.

I feel like he actually is a certified mentor to other people.

For sure.

Like, because he comes from the corporate world.

Definitely.

Definitely.

So it's so great to be back with you, Jax.

I had such a crazy busy weekend because I watched everything on the face of the planet.

I watched American Idol last night, which we're going to talk about.

Because we have it as a story.

It was the finale.

I watched, I started Queen Charlotte, the Bridgerton prequel.

It's very good.

I watched

Succession.

Zach watched Succession while I read.

So I caught bits and pieces, but I didn't watch last week either because I'm out and I'm done.

There's no such thing as a spoiler in this show where nothing happens.

It's horrible.

Last night was the funeral.

I caught bits and pieces.

Ooh.

Never ending.

Yeah, well, at least it ends next week.

Oh, is it reading?

Next week is the series finale.

The thing is, is like, I was trying to think of this morning, like, my thoughts on the show so I could could share them on today's episode.

And, you know, a lot of people compare it to Yellowstone because it's like about a family, business, succession.

And I feel like there have been parts in times in Yellowstone where like the plot wasn't plotting, you know.

Yeah, right now.

But the characters are so

beloved.

And.

Really I could watch them do anything and I would love it and I feel like every episode on succession they chip away at the last few things you might have liked about a character like Roman like they just

Get like they strip you of that.

So you don't even care.

Like, when crazy things are happening to them, bad or good, you literally don't fucking care.

Yeah.

Because you don't, like, these are morally corrupt, depraved people.

Like, they have no,

they have nothing.

Like, nothing even remotely.

You'd think, okay, like, Kendall, something's going on with the kids.

Like, maybe that's something.

No, that elicited a reaction from me.

Like, why should Kendall have custody, full custody of his kids?

Of course not.

Did he even know them?

No, but like his kids, like one of his daughters, like, was like attacked or something, and he, like, didn't care.

Like, so it's like even like the last line of like he didn't care.

I thought he cared.

I thought I caught that he cared.

No,

the mom was freaking out and wants to get them out of town.

He was like you're being dramatic and now he wants custody.

And now he wants custody.

I feel that he wants custody.

Because like the mom is just being like overly protective.

Like what qualifies you to have custody?

Literally.

No, so it's like even like the like, okay, your kids, like even that, they don't care about anything.

They stand for nothing.

And so you really just, you can't feel bad for them.

You can't celebrate their success.

And that's why the show, in my opinion, like is a flop.

Because of course, not every season of every show is going gonna have the best writing you would hope you know the final season it would but if even on a show we're like whatever the writing plot sucks you love the characters what i've seen people say is like no we love tom and greg like oh no i don't that they're the beloved they're the comic relief maybe they're a little bit funny but they too like stand they stand for less they stand for less like they're just obsessed with like money because they're outsiders so it's like they're even more desperate yeah for success and money and fame and like they're there's like this big scandal at atn and like all they care about is like their names being in it like they're the two of the biggest losers ever like at one point I found them comical for sure but no the show is so bad and like I will not people are like Claudia you don't get it it's satire I'm like you just have a low bar for comedy like this shit literally sucks it sucks and you literally cannot convince me otherwise eat my ass bitch you just have a low bar for comedy eat my ass bitch yeah and that's the succession recap oh that's all you truly need to know i'm not gonna bore you with my recap of the most boring 90 minutes they made it.

It was like 80 minutes.

I'm like, you're kidding me.

Right, I know.

I saw.

I was like waiting for it to be over.

So Zachary were now out and it was like still 30 more minutes.

Yep.

Same.

I'm like, I paused.

I'm like, Ben, this is done in a minute.

You can come back in 20 more minutes.

Yeah.

But I will say your recaps of bad shows usually make me

make me actually interested in the show.

Like you actually got me watching succession for a few more episodes because of the way you recapped that letter.

And then another Morgan letter.

The Morgan let.

Oh, that was a good.

That's when I thought the season was going to be good.

I thought like the whole time we'd be trying to decipher this letter.

Kind of like Game of Thrones energy.

Um, and then I also watched pretty much all of that show I told you to watch.

What is Game of Thrones if not a succession?

Exactly.

I watched somebody somewhere, that Bridget Everett show I told you that you would like.

You would like it.

It's basically like Schitt's Creek, but everyone's depressed.

Yeah, I thought you said it's depressing.

It is, but it's got heart.

And it's Bridget Everett is great.

She's great.

And it's funny, but it's like depressing, you know?

Everything's depressing, and that's just not my bias.

I know, I know, I know.

You got to like protect your, your peace.

Yeah, so I actually didn't watch a lot of TV this week, and I started our book for the Redheads, which actually it's called Advika and the Hollywood Wives, and it's like all about Hollywood and celebrity movie stars, whatever.

And this morning when I was looking through the stories, I was like so in the world of the book that I was like, no, this is what's happening in Hollywood because there was like all this drama.

And it really tripped me up.

But the book is really good so far.

My book club meets tonight.

About the flop of the century the flop the things in which we left unfinished by Margot Ashre yeah that Margot Ashre recommended I like feel guilty I feel like by association like the book club I don't know if I think I don't know if everyone hated it as much as I do but this is the first time in book club history that we actually postponed because people haven't finished it yet that's not a good sign right that's not a good sign and I don't really believe in like postponing me neither for that reason no me neither and I think we you know the book club learned a valuable lesson because once we postponed everyone was like I can't do this week we we plan a month in advance and everybody plans their month around it so unfortunately natalie's not going to make it tonight which just sucks you know a member of the community not being able to come she's on her honeymoon and so it's like we learned like you don't move like book club is immovable because once you do we're lucky we got another date even if people don't finish the book like they can still come and talk about up until what they read yeah But I think that also sets a bad precedent.

No, because some books like are DNF.

I know, but I think like a prerequisite for attending book club is like, you just have to read the book.

I think it's okay if you, if you intentionally did not finish the book.

Like you don't have to finish every book that you start if you really don't like it.

And then you come in and you share why you disliked it so much and you're contributing to book club.

But that's what I'll be doing.

If you don't even read it at all, stay home.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, that's what I'll be doing.

I'll be like negative queen today at book club.

Me too.

Well, the Redheads were actually recording this week instead of next week because of the holiday and people's travel schedule.

So we're all reading the book earlier.

And it's a great book.

Great month to join the Redheads.

Always.

The Redheads Book Club.

TRBC.

T-R-B-C.

T-R-B-C greater than TCBY.

Beyond.

And that's a high bar because TCBY really is the country's best yogurt.

Is that franchise still intact?

I think in some places.

I think we have this conversation like once a year.

No.

I don't feel that way.

Really?

We've had it in regards to TRBC, TCBY.

Yeah, no.

I think it's like not as prestigious as it once was and as ubiquitous, but I think it's still around.

Brian responded.

What did he say?

I said, would you say that you're my mentor?

He said, I mean, aren't we each other's mentors in unbridled chaos?

So basically, no.

So

no.

So basically, no.

Ask him, do you have like

official like mentees?

Do you mentor people?

Are you taking on new mentees?

So basically what you're saying

is, I'm not your mentee.

Yes, it is the right word.

Do you have actual mentees?

And I feel like Brian does have a a mentor.

I just cannot recall who it is.

For sure he does.

I'm fairly certain.

His name is Rick.

That's so mentor.

Yeah.

He's the guy.

He's the mentor.

He's the guy.

He works at Brian's parent company and he's the one who was on Sully's flight that landed in the Hudson.

Remember?

How could I forget?

And Brian held an event where Rick, who was a passenger on that flight, and Sully reunited and they gave him an award and it was beautiful.

We were there.

It was a beautiful night.

Is it just a coincidence that Brian's mentor is kind of part of the biggest AP

story in the last century?

Or

exactly?

It's a coincidence.

I believe it's a coincidence.

Wow.

Yeah.

Beautiful.

That's the beauty that comes from a mentor-mentee relationship.

That's the power of Sully.

That's the power of Sully.

Yeah.

So we've got a great show, right?

Anything else we need to catch up on, girly, swirly, twirly, dirly?

No, we had a nice weekend.

We spent some time together.

Dinner?

We had brunch.

We had brunch.

Because it meant nothing to you.

No, we did have brunch, but also the day before that, we did something long overdue for our Patreon.

Oh my God, we did.

I wanted to talk about that on the show today because I took some of the tips that you gave me, just really one for today, which was

more blush.

And I'm going to get a cream contour stick.

I think you should.

I used to use one, but then I just felt like I would use cream contour and then bronzer contour.

So it just felt like an unnecessary step.

But I feel like my face could use a little more definition these days.

So like two years ago, was it when we sat down?

A year ago, I think.

Okay.

A year ago, Jackie and I had the idea for Patreon episodes on, you know, any given month that we would do this little series where Jackie...

does her makeup tutorial on me.

Like I do Claudia's makeup in the style of me.

And I do Jackie's makeup using her products in the style of her.

We did mine.

It was such a success.

I like took away so many little tips and tricks.

I loved the way that I looked.

I was nervous, but it ended up being a great piece of content.

Cut to literally trying to schedule the appointment to do Jackie's makeup, and it's been a year.

It's been a year.

And this week I said, Bitch, sit the fuck down.

Oh, no, it's probably been two years.

Yes.

Yeah.

I keep thinking, like,

I don't think I was pregnant.

Right.

Thank you.

Two years.

So on Friday, we actually did it.

I got to do Jackie's Makeup.

It was not what I thought it was going to be.

It was an extremely tense, I would say, toxic work environment.

There were scuttlebutts.

There were,

there was drama.

That's what I'll say.

There was drama.

I won't spoil it.

I feel like I tried to tell you guys like over the years how I really don't like being touched.

I don't let anyone touch my face.

And like no one's really

listened, taken me seriously, like believed me.

Yeah.

And now you know.

And now you know that I'm not joking.

Okay.

That I fucking hate when people touch my face.

But people were then saying like, how do you, you don't get facials?

Right.

No, when it is a professional, like,

not, no shade to turdy Lou.

No shade to turdy Lou who picked her scab before she started my makeup.

I did.

When I'm in a professional.

Do it again.

When I'm in a professional environment, like a facial, and even when I get my makeup done by a professional, like I'm a normal person.

There's a level of, you know, cleanliness that comes with like professionalism.

Like, you don't have to worry.

I know what you mean.

Yeah.

Like, they're using, you know, tools that have been sanitized.

I don't think about it.

Also, when I'm getting a facial, like, I, if I'm not wearing makeup, I mind less when people touch my face.

Um, and I just sort of give myself over to the process.

Like, it's really not a big deal.

But the idea of friendly fire touching my face, like,

no.

You guys, it was the craziest thing I truly ever seen in my life.

Like, you seriously need help.

Okay, fine.

I need help.

Okay, fine.

Like, I'll take it.

It is what it is.

Yeah.

I can't help.

I am who I am.

You yam who you yam.

And that's okay.

And that's okay.

We got it all on camera.

Patreon.com slash a toast.

I feel like I've been trying to tell you guys, you know, you have.

And no one like understood where I was, like, that I was being for real.

And I even said last week when we had that hip story.

No, not this, your hip.

What?

Yes.

Your toaster.

Your toaster is about the husband who touches the butt.

And she said she doesn't want to be touched.

She's touched all day.

And Claudia was like, Sometimes Ben touches my hip.

And I was like, Yeah, I hate being touched too, but blah, blah, blah.

And I just feel like people didn't hear that.

Like, everybody hates being touched.

Do they?

You?

You were like seriously malfunctioning.

Yeah.

You guys

just watch it.

Patreon.com/slash a toast.

I don't know what that is.

It's an issue you have.

For sure, but like, what is it about?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Maybe that'll be the next Patreon vlog.

We get you, we take you to get diagnosed.

Yeah, like take me to

a facility.

A therapist.

To get treatment.

Yeah.

It would just be interesting to know.

I have no intention of changing.

No, no.

You've made it this far.

I made it this far.

It's cleaner this way.

Yeah.

No.

And

it doesn't affect my day-to-day life except for this Patreon vlog.

Yes.

Well, it made for some good content.

So there's that.

There is that patreon.com slash the toast.

And what else can we tell you guys before we dive into like the stories like that aren't about us?

And the stories that like we're not waiting with basically.

There's no breaking news.

I mean, honestly, my week doesn't even begin until Wednesday night, you know?

Waiting all week for Wednesday night because of Vanderpump Rules.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like the only thing that matters in the entire world right now.

I know.

And they should really be doing something about it.

Like we need bi-weekly episodes.

We need something.

Well, they're going to be putting like unedited, not unedited, but raw footage.

More con, more

shit on Peacock on the reunion.

Like, the reunion's going to have like deeper cuts.

They are just firing on all.

Bravo was like milking this for all that it is.

Like getting the Watch Reapons Live interviews, Bravo, Peacock content.

They had a series high ratings.

Series high ratings.

On finale night.

On finale night.

Good.

Series.

Because when you told me that the episode after Scandival broke was was like the biggest episode in two seasons, I'm like, what?

It's not enough.

You know, it was a slow build, like with the whole globe.

Everybody had to catch up.

So it was the highest rated episode ever.

Series?

High.

So it was the highest rated Vanderpump Girls episode ever.

That's how it should be.

As it should, right.

And I can only imagine the reunion is going to break that too.

Especially like probably part three.

I don't know.

I think the people who are not like devoted Vanderpump fans are going to lose their patience with the way that they do reunions.

I know.

But that finale, like not a moment, not a minute minute wasted.

Wasted.

There wasn't any fluff.

There was no, you know, panning over the city of LA.

So true.

Watching people's feet walk across the street.

Fake pop music in the background.

Yeah.

So true.

So yeah.

So yeah, we'll see you guys on Wednesday night, Thursday morning.

But until then, we do have the Fast Tive stories that you need to know.

Okay, just one more thing from Brian.

He said he doesn't have like official ones that he has like check-ins with.

But he said, I think

he's like, But I think we all mentor each other in ways.

No, why do you ask?

Ryan, that's beautiful.

You know, I'll just call him later and explain.

That was beautiful.

Yeah.

I think we all should be checking in and mentoring and menteeing one another all the time.

I agree with that, but I also think it's nice to have the one.

Of course.

The official.

Like the person who picks you out of the crowd and also the person that you pick.

And then you go to each other.

Will you be my mentor?

Yeah.

I feel like there needs to be more done in the

future.

To foster these relationships.

Yeah.

Because it's an old school thing.

Yeah.

It's nice.

It is nice.

Well, you know what else is nice?

Hmm.

Our first story, Jay-Z and Beyonce paid cash for a $200 million Malibu estate.

So Jay-Z and Beyonce bought an enormous new Malibu, California compound entirely in cash, TMZ reported.

What?

Entirely in cash.

Yeah, that came out this morning.

We all saw this weekend that they spent $200 million on the estate, which made it the most expensive home ever purchased in California.

But it's also said to be the second most expensive in the history of U.S.

real estate.

It was first.

A New York City apartment that sold for $238 million.

Wow, when you compare like what you got in that apartment in New York to what they got, like...

I'm embarrassed for the person who bought the New York City apartment.

I think that that most expensive apartment is in that new building that's like an eyesore and is having all these problems.

Like it's going to collapse any minute.

There's a couple of those.

They are like these huge, tall, residential buildings that like are in the they're so random.

Yeah, they're in the most random areas.

They're having enormous issues like with electrical and plumbing.

And it's like these people have lived in $200 million apartments and they can't flush to the toilet.

Yeah.

That's why I choose to rent, you know.

Sources close to the deal told TMZ that they bought the all-concrete home from William Bell, who's one of the biggest art collectors in the world, who took nearly 15 years to build the mansion.

The 30,000 square foot property was designed by Japanese master architect Tadao Ando, who was also behind the $57.3 million mansion that Kanye bought during his divorce from Kim.

Remember, he bought a mansion in Malibu that literally looked like

a garage.

Yeah, same architect.

Originally, the home was listed for $295 million.

So they actually got a deal.

I have a lot of thoughts.

My first is, I cannot believe they paid all cash because one of my favorite things that I ever learned, and probably one of the only things I ever learned from Chrissy Teigen, was when she did a Q ⁇ A on Twitter, she She was like, do you have any questions about like what it's like to be a celebrity and be rich and famous?

And someone asked about mortgages.

Like you guys are so rich.

Do you still get mortgages?

And she was like, yeah, we just do like, you guys put, you guys put down like $100,000.

We put down $10 million and we get a $50 million house.

Yeah.

And I was like, oh, I actually really never thought celebrities or people of like enormous wealth got mortgages, but why spend money if you can get it free from the bank like everyone else?

So this is shocking.

Cause when I saw this at first, my thoughts were, oh, they definitely got a mortgage.

So they probably put down what, like 30 million?

Yeah, perhaps, but interest rates are so high right now, it's really not the time.

Right, that's true.

So maybe that's why they thought it would be better to invest their money like they're not wrong than to pay, like, especially at these numbers and those interest rates.

It would be an insane monthly nut.

Okay, so that's just crazy.

Cause like that means they gave up $200 million and they still have like other hundreds of millions to live.

It's really not that crazy because I feel like either one of them could have bought this house and they bought it together.

You know what I mean?

Like they're both.

So he's net, he's valued at $1.5 million.

Billion.

$2.5 billion.

Sorry.

$2.5 billion.

$2 billion.

And last she was had a net worth of $450 million, but she just started her tour and she's about to start her hair brand, allegedly.

So I think those numbers will go up.

Yeah, yeah.

That's just fascinating to me.

Also, like, I just don't believe that people even know what their net worth is.

No, me neither.

Because also, I do believe that Jay-Z's net worth worth is higher, but I feel like in terms of like cash accessible to them, Beyonce like does a show, gets paid, releases a song, gets paid.

Everything Jay-Z does is like business.

I feel like everything he has is like stock.

I don't think he has like hundreds of millions in cash lying around, but I feel like Beyonce actually does.

Right.

He has like business ventures and things that are worth a lot of money.

But I think Beyonce probably has a lot of like money.

Yeah.

Not like value.

I agree with that.

Well, the house is beautiful.

It is.

But let me just say one thing because, you know, I got to critique the $200 million dollar house if i was buying a 200 million dollar house like i would want it to feel like a house this the whole house is made of concrete i know that's like a very la aesthetic it's but it's very modern very cold like if i really could build any house like my house would not be like insanely modern it would be like very nancy myers like tufted couches linens like it would be huge and everything would be the best of the best but the kitchen would look like a kitchen where you're like gonna raise a family not you know cook meth like these like crazy gray surfaces like it's so cold it's very cold it's not my style either modern homes in general especially like these futuristic i'm just i'm in the past it's basically like every house on selling sunset beautiful really i don't think i would ever live in any of them except i remember literally they got one house in beverly hills that was like old school and had a tennis court and like it was my favorite house yeah that's more like houses that look like homes are my style of living Yes, I agree.

This doesn't look like a selling sunset home to me, though, because those ones are like super modern in the sense that they're like all glass.

This is, you know, obviously

futuristic.

Yeah.

I think a lot of people thought at first when this house came out that it was a $75 million home David never sold.

It does kind of look like it, but it's not.

No, but that was a home.

That was a home.

Yeah, it had like a land.

This is in LA or Beverly Hills.

Where is this?

This is on the beach.

In Malibu?

Yes.

Like, and so that.

The land itself, I wonder worth how much.

Yes, that's true.

Well, I'm happy for them.

May they all, you know, grow old there yes and i do think california is their like primary residence so this will be like their home i think their kids like will live here full time go to school in the neighborhood you know um so it's nice it's nice i'm happy for them not at all jealous happy for them

crazy paying all cash yeah are you ready for our next story yeah american idol has a new champion oh my god we need to talk about this IM Tongi wins season 21.

Like, and to be honest, who cares about like American Idol winners?

But this season, because of EM, like, took the world by storm.

So he's this very young, I think he's like 16 or 17-year-old team.

16 from Hawaii.

He, his audition went completely viral.

He sang this random song.

Who even knew it?

It's called Monsters by James Blunt.

And, you know, he had just lost his dad.

And the song is about like saying goodbye to your dad.

And he was like very emotional.

And, you know, Katie, Lionel, Luke, they're all parents.

Actually, Luke Bryan was talking about how that, you know, after his audition, he was like, you know, I just got so choked up.

You know, the whole story with Luke Bryan, how I think his brother and his wife had passed away.

Now Luke and his wife are raising their kids.

You know, she's a mom, Kitty Perry.

Like everyone was sobbing.

Final.

And he's a parent.

Of course.

And he was so good.

But you just, the vocals, it wasn't anything crazy.

It was so simple.

And he played guitar.

And he was just this really endearing, cute kid.

It went so viral.

Jackie, they literally were talking about him on Joe Rogan last week.

What did they say?

So he was Roll.

Jelly Roll was the guest.

And then last night, Jelly Roll was on American Idol performing with Lainey Wilson.

They had so three hours.

I saw a commercial for the American Idol finale and like all the performers.

Eight to 11.

I'm sorry.

It's a lot.

That's not okay.

There's ads to be sold.

And you know what?

They did a really good job.

Clay Aiken and Ruben Stuttered performed together.

They like harked back to a lot.

Keith Urban was like, they were like, big return to American Idol.

Keith Urban was a mentor.

And And then all the three finalists sang a Keith Urban song and he like met with all them.

And Iam Tongi, he's like, my dad loved you so much.

Like him and my mom sang all your music, danced in the living room.

It was just, it was like really emotional.

But then honestly, listen to me.

The best part of the night was like Ben ran in because I was watching Succession.

He was like, get out of here.

So he went viral for singing this James Blunt song.

And then James Blunt came and they sang the song together.

And neither of them like could stop crying.

They literally, it was silent.

Like they did not sing.

They were just like shaking and crying.

Obviously, I'm going to assume James Blunt wrote that song about his father passing away.

And it was just such an emotional night for Iam.

I think he knew he was going to win.

It was just, everyone was in tears.

Like it was so beautiful.

You have, you will sob.

You have to watch his audition.

It's truly the saddest thing of all time.

Because I'm not your son.

You're not my father.

We're just two grown men saying goodbye.

And then when James Blunt came back to perform, I'm like, oh my God, Iam's version is so much better.

I had never heard the original song.

But they really, you know, that's what American Idol does.

They tug at the heartstrings.

Me and Ben were like sobbing.

It was a really good episode.

And then, of course, Iam won, which was not shocking.

The other girl was actually extremely talented.

And if it were any other person she were up against, like, I think she knew the nation has like fallen in love with Iam.

And there was no way that he wasn't going to win.

Yeah.

You know?

That's beautiful.

I didn't know any of this.

Yeah, no, it was really, he really made the season like extremely relevant.

I mean, they were talking about it on Joe Rogan.

And then Jelly roll was like you have to watch this and explain the whole background and then they sat there and they're both sobbing joe rogan is crying

yes i swear to god you know they're both dads like it was

like em every person who watches a video like is touched by him he's like a very special person oh and the best part they do this thing where like all the finalists have like a hometown parade and he went back to hawaii and like they're so proud of him and like when he got off the plane they were giving him lays and doing the dances and they had this whole concert for him and jack johnson showed up and like they held a moment of silence for his dad.

Like it was really it was A-plus TV.

Yeah, wow.

It was really well done.

Wow.

And I think he's going to be a star.

I mean, obviously people are making, you know, immediate comparisons to him, for him to Israel, Kama, Kawei, because they're both Hawaiian and they play guitar and they have like a, they do have like a similar, very soft-spoken, I think it's like a...

like very traditional Hawaiian kind of vibe.

And he's gonna, he's, he's gonna be huge.

I'm telling you.

Okay, okay i'm gonna have to watch that video yo you're not gonna be okay like make sure your makeup is on makeup will be off

this makeup runs yeah this mascara runs just be alone with your thoughts like once harry's down for a nap like you are not gonna be fucking okay

Okay, the song itself was also just so sad and I hadn't heard it.

And actually what makes me feel like really kind of special is me and Ben, we haven't kept up with the whole season, but every now and then like when we're bored, we'll watch American Idol.

And we watched his thing live and we knew in that moment, we didn't even know.

We were winning history.

Yeah, we knew he was going to win and we knew he was going to be special.

And we were right not to make everything about us but ben's obsessed with him ben was crying well i'm so glad that he won and that and that people are glad that he won yeah no it was a real celebration i felt for the other girl she was a very talented country singer but you know

You don't need to win these shows.

Winning is like a nice thing, but once you make top four, you either are going to be famous or not.

Gabby Barrett, who literally is a Grammy

winning or nominated country star, didn't even win.

And the other guy who win, I ain't seen him since I don't know when.

I don't even know.

There was like two other people, Maddie and Caleb, and then they were like dating.

And I don't know if they won.

Who cares?

Like, winning really actually means nothing.

Yeah.

But.

But I'm sure in that moment, like, you're on a high and then

it comes down.

And she was great.

She was really talented.

And they both came out with original songs.

Like, really, American Idol is kind of killing it.

Wow.

I wonder how many, I do wonder, like, how many people watch American Idol.

Because they were saying when they were introducing Clay Aiken and Ruben Stuttered, they were like, you know, 17 years ago on this very stage, 40 million people tuned in to watch Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdered.

40 million people.

That's like how many people now watch the Super Bowl, which is like the biggest event of the year.

Yeah.

Is that crazy?

We're all splintered off doing our own thing, siloed, watching alone, binging.

Binging.

But also, like, there's the voice.

We're not a part of something.

No, we're not.

I don't think it's the other competition shows.

I just think it's the the nature of how we watch TV, now our behavior.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, you're right.

You know, it used to be like, this is the one thing that's on at eight o'clock and we're all going to tune in for it.

Oh, and it's good.

Right, right.

I mean, the three hours was like truly out of fucking control.

Yeah.

Nevertheless, we persisted.

That's beautiful.

Thank you.

I'm glad to know about EM.

I watched the 90-minute episode of Succession and I still had an hour left of American Idol.

Isn't that fucking crazy?

Yeah.

Nuts.

But a 90-minute episode of Succession is also crazy.

That's no commercials.

It's actually the same length.

next story taylor swift says she's never been this happy in all aspects of her life during the era's tour stop this weekend it was a crazy weekend error's tour it was i mean every weekend is error's tour is kind of crazy i know boston like is the gillette stadium like has a special connection with Taylor.

I think it was the first stadium she ever played, like, after Arena's.

It was the first time she ever did a rain show.

And then, like, that's when she fell in love with, like, playing in the rain.

She just has, like, a unique connection to the community over there.

She did get a rain show on Saturday night.

I think it rained a little Friday night, but, like, Saturday was torrential downpour, three and a half hours.

She didn't stop the whole time.

They got some amazing secret songs.

It was...

It was tough.

But I feel like every city like has something special about it.

That's true.

At least it's felt that way.

Like, last week was Philly, her hometown before.

That was Nashville, her other hometown.

Like there's always an argument to be made.

Then like New York is going to be.

Welcome to New York.

I just really hope that's not the show on that.

Like, I don't know, I love that song, but it's so obviously going to be one of them.

Yeah.

I think it'll be the first night.

Which night are you going?

I don't know because I'm still waiting to get my tickets.

Hopefully, not the first night.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, anyways, she took a moment before performing her track Midnights, her track question from Midnights.

Which was like such a crazy surprise song.

I feel like...

That was the surprise song.

Yeah, I feel feel like songs from midnights like are really not, except she did You're on Your Own Kid, which everyone was like crapping their pants over.

But it just felt random.

I feel like Midnights are not contenders.

Like I feel like we're going deep on like deep cuts with the surprise songs.

And to get a song that came out two months ago, it's like weird.

No, and like, doesn't she do a lot of midnight songs?

So if like it didn't make the

cut.

Yeah, that's interesting, but everyone loves that song.

Yeah, no, I just thought it was crazy.

But before she, I mean, since she gave them questions, she also gave them, you know, a fun fact about herself.

She told the crowd, quote, I've just never been this happy in my life, in all, in all aspects of my life, ever.

And I just want to say thank you for being a part of that.

It's not just a tour.

I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense.

So I thought I'd play this song, which brings me a lot of happy memories.

I just feel like it's such a crazy thing to say that after being in a six-year relationship.

Like, oh, I'm out.

I'm so happy.

Like, it's so funny, first of all.

Second of all, I feel like it's so interesting to me because I could have guessed that this would have been one of the happiest happiest times in Taylor's life, just like based on like as an observer.

Um, and I feel like there were so many years where all Taylor wanted was like what she has now, like that 1989 era, which was iconic, but she was like trying really hard to have like a million friends and be like the biggest thing and the best thing and have everyone love her.

And once she had like the show outdo itself every single night with all the guests that she was bringing out, yeah, exactly.

And that did, and it was really big and hype.

But this is like happening in such a natural, organic way.

Right.

So it's like once she stopped trying to be that bitch, she became that that bitch, which I feel like is just a good lesson for everyone, you know?

Yeah, but it took some time.

Like it wasn't just she went from 1989 trying and then to erasing.

No, no, organic.

Like she did reputation, which was like the opposite of 1989, which is like, I hate all of you.

Yep.

And you'll get nothing from me except what I give you and you'll like it.

Yep.

Scraps.

Love that for her.

Yeah.

And then Lover, which was, I don't know, I feel like for me, I love the songs from Lover, but I really do feel like that era was so put on.

Like, no, it's such a shame because the more I think about it, the thing with Taylor's music, music which is so iconic is really you need to spend time you need to like get far away from it in order in my opinion to like really appreciate it like every time an album comes out like by the next album i'm now hyper fixating on the one prior you know and with lover i'm now in my era where we don't like respect lover enough because it was packaged in this like really kind of corny corny perfect word aesthetic where you thought it was just gonna be like dreamland fairy cloud pop music and i believe it's some of her best work there are like probably five or six songs on there that are probably her best songs ever but we never like give it the attention because it's like silly lover

and

i agree with what there there is something there was something inherently wrong with the way lover was promoted because i don't think it was taken seriously yeah and it just felt like so inauthentic at the time but like death by a thousand cuts miss americana cruel summer daylight afterglow

The Archer, like those are literally some of the best songs ever.

And nobody thinks of it because it's just like Lover, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But I also think then, like, Folkmore and Evermore, like, she had to go through that.

It kind of freed her.

Yeah.

Like, it showed her that she could put out whatever she wants and that it's going to be like so loved.

She doesn't have to do all the marketing.

She can drop it.

Like, that was the first time she dropped an album the day after she said she was going to.

And it was her biggest.

And it was her biggest.

And, like, everyone just totally fell in love with it.

And so then she was able to start kind of like anew and fresh.

And that brings us to where we are now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So back to her.

Where she can also like celebrate herself.

Like, Like this is a celebration of her and her history.

Yes, yes.

You mean the tour?

This tour, yes.

And so to hear that she's the happiest she's ever been, like, I could have guessed.

Yeah, but I also feel like, yes, it's shady to Joe because I thought I was, you know, the one, literally.

But I feel like in a lot of her relationship with Joe, other aspects of her life were not as happy as they are now.

Like her career, like she was with him, you know, when she was canceled and Reputation.

And then Reputation wasn't nominated for the Grammy and Lover wasn't and Lover was only nominated for a pop vocal not like overall so I feel like those were some harder years career-wise and she's saying like on all aspects of her life that things are really good and I don't think it's just shady towards Joe it just no me neither I just thought it was like hilarious no I know I know but like I actually think

there's been so much discourse around her relationship with Maddie like you know sensitive like distressed millennials being like I'm so disappointed and I think this was like a very like subtle way of her saying like I'm really happy.

Fuck off.

Like, I got it under control.

Like, I'm 32 years old.

Like, I know what I'm doing.

You know?

Yeah.

I think there was definitely an element of that.

And I like that because I like it.

But why do you think this song brings back happy memories?

What is it about?

What is this song about?

I thought it was about Justin and Selene or.

No, here's the thing.

The way I have no fucking idea what question is about, can I ask you a question?

Have you ever had someone kiss you in a crowded room and every single one of your friends was making fun of you and 15 seconds later they were clapping too?

What did you do?

What the fuck does that mean?

I don't know.

And who?

Who's kissing who?

Who?

Good girl, sad boy.

Big city, wrong choices.

We had one thing going on.

I swear that it was something because I don't remember who I was before you painted all my nights, a color I've searched for since.

But one thing after another, fucking situation, circumstances, miscommunications.

And I have to say, by the way, I just made like some explanations.

I have literally no idea what's going on.

I have no idea.

It's such a confusing song to me.

It's a bop,

but I don't get it.

If somebody could, you know, drop in the comments, like, what the fuck is the song about?

I had heard it was about Selena and Haley.

I mean, not Selena and Haley.

Selena and Justin.

I still don't get it.

Maybe she just has fun memories of like writing the song, you know, with Jack.

Okay.

Maybe not like the memories from the song, but the memories of writing it and like being in the studio and just like vibing out with her Estes.

Asking questions.

Maybe that just happened to be like a really particularly fun day at the office.

Sure.

Sure.

I like that.

Let's go with that.

So then some of the other secret songs.

Should have said no.

Everyone's marking themselves safe, which is so funny.

I think you guys are sleeping on red.

No, that's really like an amazing song.

That was tough.

No, but you were like with your tongue out, like, I'm fine.

I am fine because I'm waiting for peace.

And so any song, and you know why else I'm fine?

Like, I am a part of like a very blessed group of individuals.

Like, I got out of the woods and 15.

Like, I am a probably, that's probably one of the top three

surprise song combos.

Like, I feel blessed.

Do you think so?

What are the others?

There was one this weekend.

That was that one.

The Friday night one.

Let me find it.

Hold on.

Was really,

it was really kind of next level stellar.

There's this Instagram account that like posts them all.

Let me just find it.

I think Snitch tags.

Yeah, I'm literally on Snitch's thing.

When she marked herself safe.

Yeah.

Because she's waiting for long live, which was supposed to be last night.

People just made that up.

I'm sorry.

No one's getting long live.

Do you know what I mean?

Youth?

No one's getting it.

Like, to give it to one group,

like, the fact that it's not in the set list means it's not coming at all.

I think someone's getting it.

I don't.

I think they are.

You see, people are selling the rainwater on eBay?

I did not see that.

People are not okay.

You saw people selling their contacts that what they saw on the show?

That I would buy.

These lenses have seen Taylor.

Okay, like, why am I?

So you're saying these lenses have been seen Taylor?

Okay, no, wait.

So that's...

Sorry, I'm like really having a hard time.

This Instagram account's really on point.

Take your time.

I am.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

This was tough for me.

On Friday night, they got better, man.

That was on my list.

That was like...

Because one thing about me and why I feel like better and more special than Emeron is like I have loved that song long before Taylor ever even released it.

And I like looked past my hatred of Little Big Town and I saw the song for what it was.

And I've had a connection to it ever since.

And I used to watch, she had like one lowly performance in this like documentary about Bluebird Cafe that was on YouTube.

And Scott Borschetta is like talking over her in the documentary.

Whatever.

I lived with that like YouTube video for so many years.

Like now I have obviously other things thanks to her re-releasing it, but like that was hard for me.

But the other song that night was.

She would have said no.

That's a really good song.

And she recreated.

recreated so she has this like turn performance at the ACM Awards like when she was 11 years old, like 16 of Should Have Said No, where she's like standing in the rain.

Like she doesn't sound her best, but she's having fun.

And she does this thing where she changes the octave of the chorus to a higher key.

And she did it.

And everyone was like creeping their pants.

You should have said no.

You should have gone home.

You should have thought twice before you let it all go.

It's really cool.

Oh, that's cool.

Yeah.

And then

question Question and

Rhett.

No.

Invisible.

That, honestly, like, justice for those people.

Like, those songs are fucking horrible.

Like,

I love Invisible.

So do I, but, like, come on.

Like, I have.

They got the rain show.

Yeah, so they're fine.

And then last night was, I think, we got a rain show when we went to Reputation.

We did.

And it was like, like, drizzle.

It was like a mist.

It wasn't bad.

And our secret song was Enchanted.

Was it?

Mm-hmm.

I think she just played Enchanted.

No, I remember.

Like, Like, I'm not as attuned to these things, and I just remember that we got Enchanted.

Something special.

I think so.

No,

I remember hearing Enchanted.

Let me know if that was part of the rep tor set list.

I don't think it was because I've watched Reputation documentary like a thousand times.

And Enchanted's not in it.

No.

So that's what we got.

Wait, that's like so crazy.

I know.

Because that's like not a song you get, you know?

Right.

That's like a long live.

Yeah, right, right, right.

I think someone's getting long live.

I don't.

Like, I really don't.

You think there are are some that she...

Like, I don't know.

The thing is, it's like, that would be like her not playing.

Like, shake it off.

It's like, do you know what I mean?

Or that's like, okay, no, sorry, that's the wrong.

It's like her not playing all too well in 10-minute version and then giving it to one show.

But it's not.

No, it is.

It's like a special song for the fan base.

Why isn't it in the tour?

I don't know.

Because she only sings one fucking song from Speak Now, which also makes no goddamn sense.

Maybe she's trying to build up hype for Speak Now.

No, but like that's seriously, like if I could ask her, if I ask you a question, if I could ask her one question, I'd be like, what the fuck with Speak Now?

Literally like your best album.

Like we all like love Speak Now.

She's about to speak the hell out of now.

No, I know, but like, so what we all went to the era store and we didn't get one era.

Like we all, all we got was enchanted, which is amazing, but like what the fuck?

Like I seriously, like, I have questions.

Huh.

Okay.

It's an intentional thing.

But you do still think that peace could happen?

No, one thing about me is like, I know peace is not happening.

Because it's too personal to her.

No, and there's like there are songs that are about Joe and like she's not singing them and peace is literally like the one.

It's so sad.

So I'm just like being delusional.

Let's say what's your second I'll read you my list.

Yeah, read me your list.

But honestly, my list.

I should make a list for me.

My list is kind of like thinning out because Better Man was on there.

The other side of the door is on there.

And Forever and Always.

And those have all been played.

But I would say my second, like, I would really not be okay if she sang You Are In Love.

Like I love that song.

Okay.

Long story short as well, because if I'm in the presence of Taylor when she says, pass me, I want to tell you not to get lost in these petty things.

You nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing.

I'll pass away.

Okay.

And the way I loved you.

That's a great song.

So those four songs are, I do believe we will get You Are In Love.

And if you watched my Patreon vlog, you know that when she sang Out of the Woods, she gave like a little speech before she told us what song it was.

And she literally described You Are In Love.

And I thought we were getting it.

Cause she was like, it's from 1989.

It's a song where the chorus repeats itself.

You can hear it in the silence.

Silence, silence, silence.

It's literally a repet.

And I was so, I was screaming.

I thought that was it.

But Out of the Woods is just as good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I'm not complaining, but like, I was like, like I thought, you know?

Got it.

Okay.

Well, Taylor's really happy, and that's our Taylor talk for the day.

Yeah.

And it was plenty.

Yeah.

And there's going to be Taylor talk every day because Taylor's in her Taylor era.

One thing that I mean, I'm talking about Taylor now.

I spoke about Taylor yesterday.

I will be talking about Taylor tomorrow.

Yeah, because Taylor is the news right now.

Taylor is

the music industry.

Yeah.

Like, and it's constantly cycles, and this is Taylor's turn.

Yeah, it's Taylor's turn.

It's talking about Taylor.

It's Taylor's turn.

So we talked about Taylor.

So we're taking turns with Taylor.

And she'll be back in New York this week.

I know.

Oh my God.

I have to hit the town every night this week.

I totally forgot.

You got to get dressed and stay alert.

I got to get dressed and stay alert.

But like, I can't.

I'm so tired.

No, seriously.

I'm making dinner plans like now.

Oh, yeah.

We have our big dinner plans in two weeks.

Yeah, Jackie and I like have a double date that we literally scheduled three weeks in advance.

Like, she made a Google calendar invite and everything.

I'm excited, but it's a good way to make sure we get together.

You know, it's just kind of crazy.

Like, the Google calendar.

Yeah.

Just like to go to dinner.

It's crazy.

But you know what?

I'm glad we did it.

But we're doing it.

We're doing it.

Okay.

Our next story, some hosting news, some switch up because Beach Shazam has a new host in DJ because Jamie Fox is

going through an an unspecified health crisis.

He's reportedly out of the hospital and on the mend in physical rehab.

So we haven't spoken about Jamie Foxx because nobody knows what's going on with him.

And I just hope he's okay and takes the time that he needs to get better.

But usually he hosts Beach Shazam and his daughter DJs Beach Shazam.

So

the new host while he's out is

Nick Cannon.

Oh.

And filling in for the DJ spot is Kelly Osbourne.

Kelly Osborne is a DJ?

She's a DJ now.

She said, I've done DJing before, but it was more like making a playlist and hitting play and dancing around.

Oh, so we're all DJs.

I can't click.

I can't claim to be a good DJ at all.

The house DJ, DJ Irie, was showing me a few things.

It took me a minute to get across all the equipment, but by the end, I had it under control.

So now she's the DJ.

Okay.

I want to say, like, Nick Cannon is a professional host.

He'll do a great job, like, perfection.

Question mark.

Question mark.

Can I ask you a question?

Why is Gennie Osbourne DJing a TV show?

No, like, why does Kelly Osbourne, like,

look, I'm trying not to be like a hater, but like, why does she like keep getting like good gigs?

Like, why was she on Fashion Place?

I don't know.

I mean, it's obviously like a little nepotism.

Yeah, of course.

But also, I'm not against nepotism.

Because there's also, like, there's plenty of Nepo babies in the industry who are out here hustling and who are DJs.

Literally.

And she's just always is chosen.

Like, maybe people just really love her.

Maybe she's like a good agent.

Good Q score.

Yeah.

I don't think so.

Yeah, I don't, like,

I don't feel one way or the other.

No, have you seen that clip of her saying like Spanish people are like

cleaning toilets all the time?

Like she's like really like woke whatever.

And then she like accidentally exposed herself as being like incredibly like, she was like talking about like.

When is it from?

From when she was on the view.

When was she on the view?

Like as a guest.

Okay.

And she just like, she got herself in like a heated political debate and she was like, well, if we don't let in Mexicans, who's going to clean the toilets?

Like she was trying to like, yeah, no, and it was really bad.

And it's like a clip.

It's like one of those clips that goes viral, like, every day.

And it comes across my TikTok all the time.

Okay, next time you see it, send it to me.

I've never seen it.

She was like saying, she was like talking about like immigration with Trump.

And she's like, well, who's going to clean the toilets at your hotels?

That's what she said.

And it's like,

anyone can clean the toilet.

Like, it was like a crazy fucking thing to say.

And ever since then, that's like, that's where my mind goes when I think of Kelly Osborne.

Where does your mind go?

It goes into a fog

of different hair colors and different jobs.

Yeah, hair colors and jobs.

I like that.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And to me, she's not just one thing.

No, you can't put Kelly in a box.

No.

It just goes to like her sitting at like a pre, pre-red carpet table.

Yeah, yeah.

Talking about what she thinks someone's going to wear.

That's pretty much it.

That's where my mind goes.

We have got to go on Beaches Am, you and I, because like we know the lyrics to every song and we would be so good at it.

I used to think like I was really the perfect person for Beaches Am, but I've watched a few episodes and it's really hard.

It is hard because they choose like oldies.

They don't choose Taylor Swift.

Yeah.

They choose like random like Bot Mitzvah songs like Earth, Wind, and Fire and stuff.

But it's a great concept for a show.

It is.

I still think we would do a good job.

I think we could hold our own.

But I don't think I would be like the Ken Jennings of Beaches Am.

No, and I think like if we go on as a duo, like we probably shouldn't go on together.

We should go on with like someone else, maybe someone older who, you know, because we cover the same

bases.

It's so true.

Yeah.

But it is a dream of mine.

I feel like manifest it, sis.

That's what they say.

That's what the kids say.

Yeah.

There's like this thing on TikTok where people are like, I manifested this brand partnership.

And it's like, no, you didn't.

You like tagged the brand a thousand times.

Like, manifesting has just become code word for begging.

They're like, I manifested this invite to this event.

It's like, no, well, the last time the brand had an event, you were like, I want to go tagging the brand.

So they invited you, you know?

Right.

It didn't just happen from the universe.

It's manifestation.

Like, seriously, materialized right in front of you.

Like, you worked for it and you got it.

Yeah, you achieved it.

You didn't manifest it.

Right.

Yeah, that's another word.

Means nothing.

Means nothing.

I don't like to use the word manifest.

And whenever someone's like, now, like, it's a good way to end a conversation.

Oh, just manifest it.

Is that what you were doing to me?

Yeah, yeah.

Cool, cool.

No, but I also think,

I guess, manifest means to like speak into existence.

Yeah.

Or it means like a piece of paper with names on it.

Or it's like something.

I feel like there's so many things that people manifest.

I'd love to see the list of things that didn't come true.

Literally in my life.

Literally everything.

But it's like the one thing that says manifestation really works.

I'm like, I hate the word manifest.

If I see, there's like a content creator who like I was thinking about following and then she's like I manifest but you know our little sis sometimes says it well she's young and she'll learn she'll learn it's true

I did silly things when I was young all the time that I regret and she'll she'll come to regret this this time in her life she will are you ready for our fifth and final story is it the fifth and final story that's brought to you by perfect bar Yes, it is.

Our fifth and final story is a rumored romance that may or may not be totally true or totally false, but just worth discussing.

It's worth hypothesizing.

Harry Styles is reportedly getting close to Victoria's Secret model, Candace Swannepole.

The crooner has reportedly grown close to Candace, according to The Sun.

Quote, Harry is one of the biggest music superstars, so it's not surprising supermodels are lining up to date him, a source told the outlet.

What grandma wrote that?

He's got history with Victoria's Secret models and has been linked to six others who have all walked in their fashion show.

But who's counting?

The insider ended that Candace is one of Victoria's Secrets' most successful angels, and Harry would be lucky if he managed to woo her.

So let me say, I actually do do think this is true.

It's very believable.

It's on track with like clearly his taste in women who are older than him and taller than him.

I just want to say,

and I don't know if it's because like, I wish this was me, you know, I am constantly like uninspired and let down by Harry's choice in women.

Okay, I agree.

Like he has yet to be with someone that I'm like, that's it.

That makes sense.

This is so obvious.

I just, I don't know.

It's like.

who do you want to see him with that's not you because you're married so that's why he's not asking you out you

like i don't know just somebody on par in terms of age somebody like different i don't know like another model she's like so and there's nothing wrong with models i'm sure kennis is great personality it's just like come on it's so unoriginal it's just not creative it's not inspiring but wasn't he dating like some food chef instagram or at one point and i remember reported on it um 500 years ago and she had like 10,000 followers.

Yeah.

And like that was different.

I don't remember.

That's not what I mean when I say different and you know what I'm saying.

Okay.

Like I don't know.

I don't even know who I ship him with.

I just want him to surprise me.

Like the reason I believe this is because it's so predictable, you know?

Yeah.

I agree with you.

I just, I don't know.

I want something like fun and fresh and exciting, like a

like a Sydney Sweeney type.

I don't know, you know, and I know there's a million reasons that that can't happen, but I I don't know.

So someone his age or younger.

Yeah.

Someone who's like having a moment.

And also like

he would.

Someone like Young Hollywood.

Like together they would just.

Rise.

Like Kaya Gerber if she were single.

No.

Kaya Gerber, like it's like a little boring for me.

Ooh, okay.

And she's a model, and you're not into that.

Yeah, I just...

I'm nothing against models.

Honestly, I just feel like...

Look at the list.

Yeah, I don't think there's anyone on our, like, I'm going to see it's a little more mature because it's like eligible people for marriage.

It's It's not really everyone's single in young Hollywood.

Right.

Cami Marone?

Love.

Love Cami Marone and Harry Styles.

Love, love, love.

I'm just going to put my fingers.

Leave it.

Like, leave it.

That's it.

There we go.

Manifest it.

I love.

That's a good couple.

And I feel like it'd be honestly a step up for her.

It's very hard for who she's going to date next.

Like, everyone knows her, and she's very accomplished on her own.

But, you know, obviously a lot of her fame comes from being Leonardo DiCaprio's long-term girlfriend.

And where do you go from Leonardo DiCaprio?

Harry Styles.

Harry Styles.

That's really like the perfect way out of like that trope for her.

Yeah.

It's kind of how like when Gigi Hadid broke up with Joe Jonas, we were like, oh my God, well, what's Joe Jonas going to do?

And he actually ended up with somebody on Gigi's level, like somebody better suited for him, you know?

Yeah.

Like it was the perfect way out.

He could have gotten pigeonholed like as that guy who once dated Gigi Hadid.

Yeah.

But no, he got the perfect girlfriend.

That is Cami Marone.

No, Harry Styles is Cami Marone's ticket out, yeah, and for him too, his ticket out of just like relationships that aren't working for him.

No, this is like he needs a little bit of stability, he's always on tour, he's the biggest rock star in the world.

She's very artistic, he needs to a little bit of grounding.

I think that the right relationship could do that for him, and she's like a nice girl.

I feel like she's always, you know, hanging with her mom, she's family-oriented.

I like it, I love it because I like it.

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.

I try so hard.

I can't rise above it.

That's our show.

That's a beautiful way to end this show with a manifestation of a beautiful couple and a beautiful song from a beautiful girl.

Stop.

Keep going.

So that's our show.

One of four this week.
