Stealth Wealth with Taylor Strecker: Tuesday, April 25th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast.

Happy Tuesday.

And I'm sitting down with a girl who I choose every day.

Darling.

Hey, girl, hey.

It's Taylor Strecker.

Hey, girl.

Hey.

I love you.

I'm so excited to be back.

I love hosting with you.

And you know what?

The toasters are obsessed.

For real, real?

They are.

I do feel the love, so I will like receive that compliment.

You'll receive it, internalize it, digest, and throw it up, and then eat it again.

Like a dog, which brings me to my apology.

Oh, you God.

Taylor texted me on Sunday.

I was like, oh, hey, can you host a toast with me this week?

She was like, yeah, sure.

I've been spiraling all weekend.

I'm so sorry what I said about Theo.

Like, I said, Taylor, if you ever apologize to me ever again, I'll slap you in the throat, bitch.

Listen, I feel like I was being haunted by like animal things all weekend.

Theo's ghost.

I was being haunted by the, yes, by Theo's ghost.

You look beautiful.

I do.

Yeah.

I think it's the red.

Red is your color.

Maybe it's my disgusting hair that I can't bathe in or shower because I have no hot water.

I'm so lucky that I got Taylor to come into studio on the week where her and her wife are living like they live in colonial times and only bathing once a week because their shower is broken or whatever.

To be clear, I'm doing body washes.

Yeah.

I just want to say the aura and the sort of aroma you've brought to the studio.

No, I'm bathing.

I'm kidding.

You smell great always.

I really get.

No, I'm totally kidding.

No, I literally was like on Instagram all weekend and so many people I know dogs passed away away and I was horrified

because I was like oh my god all of a sudden it hit me like I was like oh over the hill was a joke but like it's very sensitive it is so I just wanted to you know some lessons you have to learn the hard way

to say I'm sorry I forgive you no apology is necessary but it would be helpful if maybe after this you go and apologize to Theo Did you tell him?

I think you should write him a letter.

I did tell him he was very upset because he loves you.

But I was trying to say we're the same.

I don't think he's he's hot that way.

Okay, well, then that's on Theo.

You're wearing red today.

Have you heard about this?

I've seen people doing it on TikTok, like finding their color.

Ooh.

It's like, it's like literally a service you pay for where you get like all these big swatches of fabric in different colors.

And you hold them up to your face.

Yes.

That's so dumb.

I know.

It's like, okay, I can literally go to Mood Fabrics and just do this with my phone.

Like for free, you just walk around the store.

But it's like these color experts who can tell you what your color is.

Your color is definitely red.

You think so?

Yeah.

I don't or green.

I go back and forth.

Sometimes I think that maybe I look like a washed out ghost lady, like a little bit vampress.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You look great.

Well, we'll see when I look at the video.

This might be your spring color.

I love a hot pink.

Well, so that's what I learned from these videos that if you go to your session, you get your spring color and your winter color.

What are your colors?

Oh, I don't know because I haven't gone to a session, but like now I'm kind of curious.

How much is it?

Such a good question.

It should be free.

It literally should be free.

But I'm sure it's like $100 or something.

I feel worth it right off.

Right off.

Mean girl.

I think that's a tax gray area.

I live in the gray.

I know.

Well, gray might not be your color.

You know what?

It isn't.

So I slept last night for the first time with my night guard.

I got a night guard yesterday.

I saw, I'm jealous.

Can I tell you what an unpleasant experience it was to sleep with this night guard?

That's why I don't use mine.

It's...

Is it supposed to be like painful-ish in the beginning?

I mean, I don't know if it's supposed to be, but it is for me.

It's like a retainer.

That hurts.

It hurts.

And there's like this big like plastic dick in your mouth.

And I'm like, with my jaw wide open.

Like I get that.

And people say like it really works.

I think it takes a long time to get used to.

And I like it woke me up.

I was up at seven.

I pop my mat in my mouth.

You do?

Yes.

It's like really welded in there.

No, but like that's that's how strong my tongue is.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're a thruster.

That's why your wife loves you.

But I, no, I stopped wearing it because I would wake up in the middle of the night and be in my hair.

What?

It would be in your hair.

Yeah.

What would you wear it for?

For TMJ?

I'd wear wear it for my grinding.

So I'm a clencher.

Yeah.

I mean, that, that tracks, birds of the feather flock together.

Yeah.

And so I went to the dentist.

Actually, I went to Dr.

Alex, who we met in Lisbon.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

And they like took all these really high-definition photos of like my mouth.

And I thought it was just the picture of my mouth.

I didn't know like my whole face was going to be in it.

So I'm just like looking like a like a corpse like

and then they put them up on the TV like to analyze my teeth.

I'm like, who the fuck is that?

But what I realized is like I clench more on my right, I guess.

I have like a muscle.

When I saw the picture, like my cheeks are not symmetrical.

I got this big old like jowl on my right side and like this almost dimple because I'm clenching so hard.

I'm changing the structure of my

do you really see it?

Like look, look, look.

Literally.

Look.

Literally.

I haven't done it yet.

Ready?

Look.

What am I looking for?

Okay, like a more protruding muscle.

You have a dimple on this side.

Right.

And that's like from like my client.

I've created a dimple because I'm working my muscles so hard.

Genius.

You see?

Stunning.

That's so nice of you.

And the truth.

You're just walking on the dentist.

No, I'm not.

Because you don't want to offend me like that.

No, I'm not.

No.

Here's the thing.

So my really good family friends are dentists back home where I grew up.

And they're like fantastic.

And the last time I saw them, which was years ago, I stopped going to them because I did not like what I heard.

Yeah.

And also, I can't like, I'm an adult.

I have to go to the dentist where I live.

Yeah, no, also just like the dentist is criminal.

Like dentists should be in jail.

So she pulled me aside and she had like tears in her eyes because she's like my aunt.

And she was like, Taylor, you have to get all your teeth pulled.

What?

Get veneers.

Do you like veneers?

No.

Do I look like I have veneers?

You have nice teeth.

You see my yellow ute?

Yeah, you got like a little yellow one down there, but your teeth are very nice.

It's a dead one, by the way.

See how I don't.

Okay, look at my teeth.

See how this has no like companion?

Yeah.

It's just a little lone tooth.

Yeah.

I had overcrowding when I was little, so they yanked one of them out.

So I just have one little lone tooth.

And it's yellow, not because she's decrepit and disgusting.

It's because she has no nerves.

Wow.

She's not

dead.

Neither do you.

You got no nerve.

Wait, that's like crazy.

I just fucking hate going to the dentist.

Like it's me too.

I feel like my experience yesterday was as positive as it could have been.

They got me in and out.

I didn't have cavities or anything.

But like, my God, I just hate going to the dentist.

Me too.

I know I have to get a mouth guard.

I have to get all new teeth.

I have to do everything.

And like, I also haven't been to the physician for like a checkup, like probably in six years.

Let's go together.

And that's because like I just know they're going to be like, bitch, you're fat.

Like every problem you have is because you're fat.

And now that I'm not like on the brink of you know morbid obesity, I'm much more open to going.

I'll make an appointment.

Go to my gyno.

I feel like a gyno is a regular doctor for women.

It's not.

I've decided not to be.

No, no, no.

That's the case.

Okay.

And she's amazing.

I have a great gyno.

I also haven't been for a pap smear in quite some time.

I'm just like, I'm kind of just like rotting over here.

I just, I find pap smears to be the most unpleasant of experiences.

I love them.

I hate them.

It's the lesbian in you.

They're horrible.

I cry.

That thing they put up your pussy, like

the metal.

Oh, then they spray.

Oh, spread the specculum.

Speculum.

That is a medieval torture device.

They crank that shit.

They just spread it wide open.

And I always think, like, how is my vagina really ever going to open to give birth?

And now I know how.

I get very insecure that the gynecologist thinks I like it because I am a lesbian.

But no, it would.

But I don't.

No, well, you're.

And I do not consent.

I i feel like a gynecologist would assume that a straight woman likes it more because it's penetrative

you know in the lesbian

centriculum on your clit maybe

she would think you enjoyed it you know what if they did more women would go regularly if they did more women would go regularly that's for damn sure

I just hate and like I always she's like we're gonna do STD tests and I'm like oh yeah for sure but like I've only had one partner and my husband has only had one partner the way I am so jealous that you guys are oh I'm I love it that's nice It's my dream.

Thank you.

You know?

Well, I say, I'm like, you can do it, but like, I don't need it.

Like, we're just, and she's like, well, you never know.

And then she goes on these horror stories about like women who got, you know, HPV.

And I'm like, I'm sure.

I'm like, but that's not me.

Okay.

But I'm like, yeah, sure.

I guess you could do the test.

She'd be like, she knows like crazy stories.

Gynos know it all.

Let me ask you a question.

Please.

Do you manscape before the gyno?

You have to.

It's the right thing.

It's just common courtesy.

Do you manscape before like a spray tan?

Only the areas that are going to be seen.

Do you go vagina out with a spray tan?

Sometimes, yeah.

Girl, I never.

I'm on like a weird cycle with my spray tan artist that I see her every time I have my period.

How fun for her.

So when she really says she doesn't mind, and I wear underwear and I'm wearing a tampon like so she doesn't care.

But when I don't see her on the days that I'm, you know, menstruating, yeah, I go full.

I hate that panty line line.

Wait, spring out, string out?

Coming in?

You go with your string?

No, I'm saying when I don't have my period.

When you don't have have your period, I'll go full nude.

I'm very comfortable with her.

That's so nice.

I love a spray tan.

I get a different woman every time, which is not so fun for me.

Sometimes when I go to like a place, you know, like a sugar and bronze when I, when my girl's unavailable, you never know who you're gonna get.

I go, I go like I'm going for a dick appointment.

Like, I get, you know, shaved, everything.

Like, I have no leg hair, no armpit hair.

I have no mustache hair.

I go so clean and fresh because I'm like, I don't want this.

What if this stranger is a toaster?

Does that ever, do you ever think about it?

I oh, luckily, I'm not famous, so it never happens.

You are.

You are.

You have like a, you have an audience, Taylor.

I have an, um, I feel like I'm, I'm, I'm niche.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, I one time got a spray tan from like a follower.

I think it was in Austin who had reached out.

She's like, I own a spray tanning company.

Okay.

So you knew going in that she was a.

Yes.

And I will say, like, it was weird.

Yeah.

She was such a professional.

She's because you're so naked.

Yeah, and it had nothing to do with her.

She was amazing.

It was actually one of the better spray tans I've ever gotten in Austin or in the country.

Yep.

But I was like, this is weird.

I know.

This is weird.

I know.

I definitely, yeah.

I'm so naked.

And right now I'm like so mushy and I'm so dimply.

I'm so saggy right now.

And they make me pull my titties up.

I get that too.

It's shameful.

No, it's shameful.

Like I get spray tans sometimes like with Margo.

Like we'll do it together.

And she's just

everything stands up.

This

is tight.

So they just go, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, spray, spray, spray.

For me, they're like, all right, pick your breast up.

Pick your other breast up.

Lean forward so we can get under your ass cheeks.

Open your thighs.

Like, I have all these ditties.

Oh, yeah.

I know it's like cirque to soleil when I go in there.

I'm doing yoga.

I'm doing Pilates.

I'm putting my leg over my head just to get under all my crevices.

And Margo's just like, swish, swish, swish.

Turn around.

Swish, swish, swish.

Same with Tay.

Same with Tay.

I know.

And then I think that they were like judging our relationship.

You know, because I think, I often think, because I also weirdly follow a lot of like estheticians

on TikTok and they get asked a lot of questions, like especially women who do like Brazilian waxes and stuff, being like, does it gross you out?

When this, and this.

And they're really lovely women.

And they're like, it's just the human body.

They always say the only thing that really grosses us out is when you have like particles of like feces

in your nether regions, you know?

And she's like, that's gross.

But for the most part.

Particles of feces.

She really worded it very nicely because I'm like, what is this bitch trying to say?

I'm like, dude?

Pooh poo.

Dingleberries.

Dingleberries.

She didn't want to use, you know, she was using the medical term, particles of feces.

But for the most part, they say they don't get weird.

Wait, wait, wait.

Is that common?

Yes, yes, yes.

When you ask.

Oh, you know, like when the toilet paper gets stuck in a vagina?

No, they see that too sometimes.

word.

They say like a lot, like we don't judge and a lot of things like don't bother us.

But I'm a human being and I know if this was my job, like every little thing other people do would disgust me.

Disgust me.

Ingrown hair.

Ew, let me excavate it for you.

No, get off my table.

I fire you as a client.

Yeah, that's why I would, I could just, I could never be, I don't think, an esthetician.

I could be a dermatologist, a facialist.

Like I could pop.

No.

I see random strangers on the street and I want to offer like, hey, let me get that big black hat on your nose.

Girl.

I know.

But I've never done that to you.

You actually have lovely skin, Taylor.

Thank you.

I mean, you can pop my pimples whenever you want.

I would love to.

And by the way, don't get offended.

Like, if I ever see one on your face, I will go after it.

I'm hiding one by my brow.

I don't really have pimples.

No, I really don't.

I'm very lucky.

Kate Bosworth complimented me on my skin when we were in middle school together.

Yeah, I don't know if you ever heard Taylor tell the story, which she's told 1,065 times.

She went to the same high school as Kate Bosworth, and they have a current mutual friend.

We do, who you met at my birthday party.

Oh, was that who it was?

Chris.

Oh, I should have cozied up to him a little bit.

Hello.

So him and Kate are still tight?

Oh, hell yeah.

He's going to that wedding.

He had dinner with her and Justin Long and said very much in love.

I believe that.

He never talked shit about Kate, which kills me.

Yeah, that's tough.

Whatever.

He's a good friend.

Have you been following the Sophia Ritchie wedding in the South of France?

I have.

I have.

You know, I'm kind of a newbie to TikTok.

Yeah, I saw you join TikTok.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

21st century.

Thank you.

It's more like podcast clips and things of that nature.

But a girl's going to try every now and then to like keep up with the trends.

Pop off.

You know.

I love that.

Do a little voiceover.

Do a little dance.

Make a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little love.

Get down to that.

Get down to that.

How's it going, your TikTok journey?

I'm terrible.

That was me.

I mean, it still is me, but that was me.

You should talk to Hannah Berner.

She gave me some really good advice.

I know, I know.

I'm going to have to have a little powwow with her.

She's going to have to have her on the podcast so you can like put her clips up and they'll go viral.

Oh, Dub, that is the plan.

You too.

Yeah, I would love to.

Stasi as well.

Honestly, I'm the best social climber I've ever met in my life.

I actually, I bet some the thing is, you're a social climber, but like in a really kind of earnest and not annoying and genuine way.

Thank you.

And like actual social climbers, like people who actually just use people.

Yes, disgusting.

And then get to another level and kick the person beneath them.

Those people are like actually disgusting.

No, so like for you to call yourself that is actually inaccurate because you're like a wonderful person.

Thank you.

I'm Glenda the Good Witch.

You're Glenda the Good Witch.

I am.

So Alphaba.

Yeah, you are.

I have been changed.

Do you know that song?

I literally did this with Ben when he was co-hosting like two days ago.

He didn't know it either.

For

good.

Do we have to go see Wicked?

I mean,

no.

Wait, are you not a wicked girling?

I just remember, we just talked about how we don't love going to the theater.

No, Wicked is not the theater.

Oh, excuse her.

I saw, I mean, I saw it years ago.

Wait, are you not like a wicked, like, but wait, you love musical theater?

We're always doing karaoke.

You always go to Marie's Crisis and sing show tunes.

I only know Defying Gravity, but like the, whatchamacallit?

Leonichelle version.

Well, the Glee version of every song is better, so I respect that.

Thank you.

I mean, don't talk to me about Only the Good Die Young by Billy Joel, because that's a glee version that popped all the way fucking off.

So good.

And half the music I know, that's like from, you know, the early 2000s or early, no, the 90s or earlier.

Yeah.

I only know because of glee.

Oh my God.

That bottom girls, you make the rocking

girl go round.

Only because of glee.

Well, that's not like a queen, like top 10 hit, you know?

I mean, it was sung to me a lot growing up.

Well, you're 100.

So that actually tracks.

And I've got a big ass.

So, oh, that's why it was sung to you.

Exactly.

No, I loved that song, even though, like, the guy who sang it on the glee version, it was, you know, a child trafficking pedophile.

Can you even, how dare he?

How dare he?

How dare he ruin everything?

I can't even watch the show anymore.

Oh, I can.

I can.

Oh, God.

Whenever I see his character, I'm like, there's so many things on Glee.

Oh, wait, sorry.

I was talking about the Sophia Ritchie wedding because, oh, yeah.

I didn't make it a story today, but me and Ben were just like speculating yesterday about, you know, Benji and Joel Madden were there because that's Nicole Ritchie's brother.

Wait.

I mean, husband, excuse me.

Right.

But Benji and Joel?

Yeah, they invited Joel and Cameron.

Cameron, yeah.

No kidding.

And so Ben is, you know, obsessed with emo music, just like your wife.

And then we were dying to know whether Good Charlotte performed at the wedding.

And now we've gotten a lot of footage and they performed at the after party, Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous, and everyone was like fucking, like, rocking out of the circle.

Because that's their anthem.

It looked so fun.

Ben was like...

actually having FOMO from a wedding he never would have been invited to.

Was Julianne Huff there or did I make that up?

You made that up, I think.

Oh my God.

Why would she have been there?

I don't know, but there was somebody speaking in it.

Like it was from behind, blonde, kind of had Julianne's voice.

I know, I just feel like everyone in Hollywood looks like Julianne Huff.

I agree.

And Lionel Ritchie, we were speculating whether he did sing.

Of course he did.

He has to.

I think he sang while her and her husband had their first dance, which is so sweet.

Very sweet.

I mean, that, so it's all about the, it's like

succession billionaire status vibes only.

What's the term?

Stealth wealth.

Oh, baby.

Oh, yeah, that too.

Stealth wealth.

I I like that.

Stealth Wealth is like, okay, so you know in Succession, how like they don't, okay, remember that scene with Tom.

Did you watch Succession?

Yes, I love it.

I, but don't tell me about it.

No, no, I just want to say I just now figured out what that Connor, the older brother, is the actor from Ferris Bueller.

Did you know that?

Of course, I'm a thousand.

He's the one whose dad has the red car, right?

Yes.

I had no idea.

At my book club last night, everyone was talking about like TV shows they've been watching.

And someone was like, Can you believe that's the guy?

I'm like, Excuse me?

Oh my God, were you shook?

I had no idea.

And that's like, I only recently found out that Tom Walmsgam

is Mr.

Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.

Tom.

The Kieran Knightley one.

Tom.

Shiv's ex-husband.

Yes, yes, I know who Tom is.

Oh, wait.

He plays Mr.

Darcy in the Kieran Knightley Pride and Prejudice.

Never heard of her.

Wait, you never heard of Kieran Knightley?

Never heard of any of it.

Oh, at her Pride and Prejudice in the movie.

Yeah, but like never saw it.

Mr.

Darcy.

You know what?

It's too booky.

By the way, I actually hate that film.

And like my family loved it growing up.

And every time they would put it on, I'd be like, enough with this fucking movie.

I'm going to blow this house up.

But putting together that it was Tom Walmsgam Wombscam was shocking for me.

I'm sorry.

Continue.

Also, the dad is, do you know Match Point?

It's a Woody Allen film.

Of course I know Match Point.

It's my favorite movie.

I watch it every night.

I see you at Match Point.

He is the dad of Match Point.

I haven't seen that movie in forever, so I only know Scarlett Johansen and Jonathan Reese Myers.

Yep, he is

everybody else's dad, not their dad.

He's like the father-in-law, essentially.

Okay, wait.

I have to watch Match Point.

That movie is such a...

like a fucking niche reference.

I watch it every single night to fall asleep.

Really?

Isn't that psychotic?

Wait, is that...

No, it's not Kate Bodsworth.

It's Scarlett Johansson.

I could not watch Kate Bossworthy go to sleep.

No, you would have nightmares.

Nightmares.

Okay, so I'm sorry.

Continue about stealth wealth.

Stealth wealth.

So they're like now, because of succession, everyone's breaking down this idea of like stealth wealth.

So remember the episode where Tom is coming for the girl with like the enormous purse?

Her ludicrously capacious purse.

What does she have in there?

Flats for the subway?

I'm like, bitch.

Yes.

Okay.

So it's all about how billionaires, like in subtle ways, they show you how rich they are, but like very quietly.

Right.

Like having a big purse, which is seemingly innocuous.

Right.

So a very tiny purse says I'm rich because like I don't need all my shit in my car downstairs.

Or like I just, I get driven everywhere.

I don't need shoes for the subway or I don't need like a credit card.

It's all on file.

Exactly.

Yeah.

But the number one thing is I don't need a jacket.

Why would you need a jacket to ruin your outfit?

It's so true.

You just get in the car and get out.

So me and my poor ass jacket running around the city.

So true.

I actually never wear jackets and it's not because I'm a billionaire, sadly.

It's because like I just can't.

But you're wearing one right now.

Oh, well, this isn't like an outdoor jacket.

This is is like a stylish jacket.

I could see Kendall wearing like a jacket like that.

I meant like weather jackets.

Got you.

Like that you take off.

That's not a part of your outfit.

It could be snowing and I won't wear a jacket.

I can't be bothered.

Stealth wealth.

No, I wish just stealth stubbornness.

Like I just can't.

I'm like running.

I'm just, I just can't.

It's like such a burden.

So

now they're saying that the Richie wedding was very stealthy wealthy.

It was very, but you know what?

For as much as it is like this unattainable level of fame and money, something about it, maybe it it was just like the way she was sharing so much on social media, something about it felt like extremely relatable in a sense.

She's just like a regular girl.

She's not, and I mean, yeah, he's a billionaire, but he's like a regular guy in a sense.

Dad and mom are a certain lady.

I know.

I saw that because she brought

her mom for the Vogue thing.

You know, all her dresses were made by Chanel and Vogue did the whole thing for the final fitting.

They did this video that was really cute.

So she brought, I think, like her maid of honor or her friend or whatever and her mother-in-law.

And they were like, this is my mother-in-law, lady, whatever.

I'm like, lady?

Does that mean, does that title get passed on to Sophie Ann Elliott?

God, I hope so for her sake.

That's fabulous.

That's so stunning.

And I know that, like, that's how genetics work, but she really looks like her dad.

It's crazy.

Like, when they had the pictures of them walking down the aisle, they have the same exact face.

She's spectacular.

You know, I mean, really, what an example of we can do whatever we want in life.

Yeah.

She was dating Scott DeSantis.

I mean, it's an example of you can do whatever you want in life when you have unlimited like fame and wealth.

Indeed, right.

And that's just such a small detail I don't think we should just glaze over.

You know?

The nepo of it all.

Another element, I'm sorry we're talking about this, but it's, I didn't make it a story, but it's like so in the no, it's like it's truly everywhere right now.

And something I'm loving seeing, I literally oftentimes forget that her and Nicole Richie are siblings.

And the way they have such a special bond, like I didn't even real, I never even think about them as siblings, but Nicole Ritchie was posting so much.

She's like, I love my sister so much.

It was video, like pictures from the photographer.

And Nicole Richie's just like has so many tears in her eyes.

And she's looking at her sister so lovingly.

It was really so sweet.

I literally forgot that they were siblings.

How many years apart?

Like at least like 10, right?

More.

I love it.

That's how I feel about my little brother.

Right.

I feel like Nicole Richie is...

I feel like Sophia is like 24, 25.

Yeah.

And Nicole has to be in her 40s by now because Paris is.

When you have a sibling that's like 10 years or more like younger than you, you feel like they're your actual baby.

Yeah.

I actually call both my siblings, Paige and Zach, the kids.

How many age years?

Paige is like seven and Zach's like 11.

Oh, wow.

I know, right?

Yeah.

I guess there's also probably a period where you don't have much in common.

No, because you're like, I'm off in college and he's like in middle school.

12.

And then when they like grow up a little bit and you're grown, like you probably have like a renaissance, like you just love them.

Yeah.

Like, let's smoke cigarettes.

Right, right.

Which is horrible to do as an older sister.

No, someone's got to do it.

Don't tell my mom I said that.

Well, does your mom listen to the toast?

She will today if somebody tells her to.

I love your mom.

She's fab.

She's fab.

Like, I know what you're going to sound like when you're 50 or however old she is.

I already sound like her.

Because you have like this like kind of sexy smokers wrath.

Thank you.

I love your sexy smoker's.

You know, Babsy has not smoked a cigarette a day in her life.

She sounds like she does.

I know.

So that's like, so it's not my fault I sound like this.

You're predisposed.

Yes, yes.

Predetermined.

Predetermined.

I was just helping it along in my early 20s.

What's better than that?

The first story is like taking the world by storm and there's a lot of conflicting opinions on this whole Glenn Powell Sidney Sweeney thing.

Oh, oh, oh, okay, yes.

Let's go.

So Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney are cozing up right after his girlfriend has unfollowed Sidney Sidney Sweeney.

Okay.

So Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney looked extremely cozy at Cinemacon in Las Vegas on Monday, despite his longtime love unfollowing

Sidney Sweeney on social media.

So Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney, who attended the convention to promote their upcoming movie, Anyone But You, couldn't keep their eyes off each other as they posed for photos on the red carpet.

In one eyebrow-raising photo in particular, Sidney Sweeney can be seen looking up at Glenn Powell and beaming as he looks at the cameras.

Yep.

And all this comes after, like, it's been like a couple of weeks of like really weird photos coming out of Sidney Sweeney and Glenn Powell like abroad filming promoting and just like looking like a couple but everyone's like oh that's cute they're really close co-stars because he obviously has his girlfriend Gigi Paris.

Right.

But Gigi Paris yesterday or like two days ago unfollowed Glenn, who she'd been dating since 2020 and then a sparked speculation that they broke up and then she unfollowed Sidney Sweeney.

So I mean there's definitely something going on.

You don't unfollow your boyfriend.

Unfollow is big.

Unfollow is huge.

I know.

And so a lot of people are like shipping Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney.

Yeah.

So hard that they don't even care that like maybe they cheated on a Gigi girl.

I feel like this is happening more and more and more.

We are like a moralist society.

You're so, we are a moralist society.

Yep.

Like nobody cares about the ethics because they're just so like obsessed.

And by the way, I get it.

Like Sidney Sweeney and Glenn Powell, I'm obsessed with this couple.

Let me tell you why.

I think this is exactly what Glenn Powell needs.

Like Glenn Powell is like a movie star in the sense that he was in Top Gun and he, you know, is a huge actor, and he gets, but he's not like so famous.

But like he's very recognizable, but yes, he's not.

There's like an element to his fame and career that's missing something.

And I think it's like a star-studded love affair.

Yes.

And Sidney Sweeney is the it girl of the moment right now.

Girl.

I'm obsessed with her.

Last I heard she was in like a long-term committed, almost, I think, engaged relationship to like some older nobody.

Yeah.

And it was kind of like a letdown because it's like, girl, you're Sidney Sweeney.

Like, go fuck Jacob Lordy or something.

Like, do something fabulous.

Right.

So for both of these people in terms of a career, I love it but there is an underlying ethical issue and how do we deal with it Taylor you know it's just sad it's case by case

it's case by case like we know cheating is bad we know right now scandival we are furious I know but you know there's an element I've been thinking a lot about scandival recently I don't think you're gonna like what I have to say I don't think I'm going to either there's an element of scandival that I mean I'm so team Ariana it's disgusting like I'm not I just need to get that out yes but and me and Jackie were talking about this because like in the coming weeks after scandal there was an element of like ickiness to how so many of the cast members were like piling on to like an insane level with their merch and their podcasts.

And yes, it just felt weird given, you know, there are a lot of people who believe that, you know, Ariana was the one who broke up Kristen and Tom.

And that Kristen was the one who broke up Stasi and Jax.

And Lala was the one who broke up a full-blown marriage.

Sheena started this entire show by being the mistress in Eddie Sibrian and Brandy Glanville's marriage.

So it's a lot of like bitches in glass houses throwing hella stones.

And that doesn't make what Raquel and Tom did better.

It doesn't make it good.

But I think everyone needs to take a hard, long look in the mirror.

I do find shreds of hypocrisy for sure.

Well, and I also have talked about the fact that, like, why is this story like this big?

Yeah.

Because, like you just said, we have the Kristen and Jax, we have the Sandoval and Ariana.

We have the Lala.

I mean, you know, she's since explained that.

And I do believe because this recent episode of EPR, I actually didn't watch the most recent episode, but she's on this like warpath of refusing to be called a mistress.

So she explains it.

What is she?

And it made sense to me.

So, okay, there's this.

Spoiler.

He is.

Whatever.

It's your fault.

You deserve to be aware.

I'm late.

So Raquel has this whole thing with Oliver, Garcel Saxon.

Yes.

And it comes out that he's actually still married.

And he told her he was not.

Anyway, so they have dinner.

They talk it through.

And he's kind of like, listen, we are separated, but yes, sometimes we take a step backwards.

She's the wife.

She's like, we have children together.

So anyway, he kind of admitted like, yeah, they sleep together every now and then, but that doesn't mean they're met together and he still has his own place, whatever.

So, she kind of gets in the fold.

And so, Lala says to her, like, you know what?

Don't let anybody call you a mistress, which is like hilarious because she literally, three seconds before, just called her a mistress.

But I think what Lala understood was, like, wait, so I did think that you were a mistress in the case of, or mistress vibes in the case of Katie and Schwartz, because you were asked not to go there.

Yeah.

But in the case of Oliver, who technically is married, not your fault.

He didn't tell you.

And she kind of said, like, I got duped too.

Men are very good at pulling wool over like the other woman's eyes.

Okay, well, that might be like a fair explanation, but it's also important to note that Lala slept with James while he was with Raquel.

So right, right.

Right.

I'm just saying, the underlying layers of hypocrisy run strong.

Yes, absolutely.

So that's, you know, that's just something I, and I think that was actually what Tom Sandoval was trying to say when he did that.

Howie Mandel.

Oh, shiss Howie Mandel interview.

It was horrible for everybody involved.

It was an embarrassment.

I don't know who I was most embarrassed for.

I think I think Howie.

I think Howie's daughter.

You know, she was the only one that knew what the hell was going on.

Right, and she let the whole charade go on without pressing any questions.

Howie has no idea who any of these people are.

I can't even blame him for like letting Tom Sandoval spew his lies because he doesn't know what we know.

She should have been like, Dad, shut up and let me take the lead.

I know.

So I actually blame her the most, if I'm going to be honest, but that's not the point.

I weirdly blame Howie the most.

Yeah.

He said so many offensive things, too.

He really did.

Like the whole time.

I did love, though, that he went on this

tangent about how is Tom Schwartz not Jewish?

Because I have often thought about that too.

I know, but like it was just, wasn't it a lot?

All of them.

No, it didn't bother me.

The Jewish stuff.

Because honestly, the first few years of watching the show, I just assumed Tom Schwartz was Jewish.

Hilarious.

And nobody talks about that.

Like, how do you have the last name Schwartz?

It's a good point.

That's like your name being Barbara Goldstein and you're telling me you're not Jewish.

I wish it were.

I know.

Isn't that weird?

Yeah, that's a very good point.

You're right.

By the way, total tangent, but like, I guess we make any excuse on this podcast to talk about your ex-marriage.

Yes, please.

Did it ever occur to you to keep your married last name?

Were you ever tailor, whatever that last name was?

We can't say it out of respect.

Okay.

Because I'm so respectful.

Yeah.

And also, I know you love being Jewish and it was a Jewish last name.

It was a very Jewish last name.

But so much so the key, when we were like traveling, like we wanted to go to Dubai.

Yeah.

And he was like, honestly, with our last names, we can't.

This was a different time.

Yeah.

But like you concur that that's a thing.

A lot of people are very trepidatious.

It's like sex in the city.

She goes by Charlotte York, Golden Black.

She's like, it's the Middle East.

It's the new Middle East.

It's the Middle East.

Exactly.

So, yeah, but it was definitely identifiably Jewish.

Yes, yes.

Um, I actually never got around to changing my name because your girl hates paperwork.

The same, by the way, I've never changed my name.

But I, but, like, for a while, I did have this weird hybrid.

When we got married, I changed my name like at town hall to Taylor.

Ashley's my middle name, and then his last name, right?

But, like, why wouldn't I do Taylor Strecker his last name?

Anyway, yeah, thank God I never finished it because then post-divorce, it would have been no, I was just curious about it.

And also, his last name,

from a pop culture standpoint, is not really bad.

Yeah, that's such a good point.

So, thank God I didn't change it because I would have definitely had to change it back.

Such a good point, right?

Okay, so back to Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney.

Like, while I do ship, I think it's important to acknowledge how infidelity is wrong.

No, yeah, it's wrong, but I'm still here for them.

I know.

We make exceptions for people that we like.

I know.

I kind of like obsessed with this couple.

Like, they're so good looking.

They're both rising stars.

I love it.

They're both going to be like huge, like, you know, they're going to be.

I'm just obsessed.

Like, I feel bad.

I know for her.

And that's the thing, too.

Like, you, it's like you get besmirched by somebody doing that to you.

I know.

And then no one cares.

Because they're so happy for Sidney Sweeney and Glenn Powell.

It's actually really sad.

That's like my biggest fear is like, Tay and I don't make it.

She like leaves me for somebody else.

You.

I'm so down.

And people are like, fuck Taylor Shreker.

This is amazing.

Yeah, no.

Like, if me and Taylor Donahue ever did get together, like, no one would really feel bad for you because it would be like new power couple.

Literally.

But you can get together with Ben, though.

You guys really can't.

Fine.

I'll take Ben.

You guys really do get along so well.

I love Ben.

I just feel like at some point we all need to live in a commune together.

It would be so much better.

You know, we've talked about this with my sister and brother-in-law, who you're obsessed with.

Oh, they can come too.

I'm obsessed with Taylor.

He's not my sister.

I'm dead ass about it.

Like, Ben literally said to me, we were out for Halloween in Brooklyn Heights.

Yeah.

And he not my Ben, her brother-in-law.

My brother-in-law.

And he was like, these houses are sick.

And he's like, Tay, if we take my money and your money, we get something fucking sick.

No, and then if I join, we can get another house.

We could really get something to Like three people is better than two.

We get like a castle in Kentucky where Jackson Brittany got married.

It's just like, that's like the fit.

That's like the not fun part of being an adult.

It's like you can't just like live with your friends.

But like, who says?

I know.

Let's do it.

I'm so down.

I'm like, wherever we end up living, like, we all just have to live on the same block, you know?

Okay, so let's talk.

Let's talk.

Well, can I get you to move to New Hope?

Tate is dead set on New Hope.

I'm sorry.

Well, then the talk is over.

There's no, like, I'm really limited in where I I can move because there has to be like a thriving Jewish community.

That is absolutely fair.

So I know your in-laws live in New Jersey.

I would go to New Jersey in a second.

Okay.

There's many good Jewish schools and Jewish communities and temples.

The Hamptons.

Kosher restaurants.

The Hamptons.

The Hamptons is very Jewish.

West Hampton specifically.

Maybe we can start with like a vacation property together.

By the way, I love that idea.

We'll have to figure out how like the tax situation works.

But you do realize that usually.

like real estate with friends and family is a thing that tears everybody apart.

Oh, is it why?

Because of money?

It's like the number one thing.

Really?

Yeah.

It's like an old wife's tale.

Like, do not get to real estate with friends.

Ever, if you love people, family, friends don't.

It will ruin your relationship.

That is so interesting.

But I feel like we're better than that.

I feel like we're beyond that.

Next thing you know, we're not talking to each other in five years.

Okay, are you ready for our next story?

Yes, Lee.

Some drama.

Did you see this Morgan Wallen thing?

No.

So he basically, he's on an arena tour.

He's playing, sorry, excuse me, stadiums, like 60,000 people.

Okay.

And he was in Mississippi, and he has three opening acts.

Everyone is seated.

The three opening acts go.

Three opening acts is a lot.

I know, but for a stadium tour, it's actually not.

Okay.

It's his turn to go.

Literally the screens light up.

Sorry, show's canceled.

People have been there for hours watching the opening acts, getting merch, buying drinks.

They're sitting in the seats and the show is canceled, which is really unheard of.

How dare you?

Like, we were going off on Adele for canceling her residency like a couple of days before, maybe a week.

And I mean, this is next level.

What happened?

So there were a lot of speculation about what actually happened.

His line and his statements were like he lost his voice.

He was working all day with doctors doing all these things, getting his voice back.

And he was up until the very last minute trying to, you know, get his voice back and he couldn't.

Okay.

Which is true, is understandable.

I mean, you really, if your voice is wonky, you got to cancel the morning of, but whatever.

There were a lot of rumors, very unfounded, like, you know, people at the stadium who were working security basically saying he was wasted.

People said they saw him at a bar before.

None of that is founded on anything, but it's really easy to believe given his, you know, problematic background.

He's our problematic country king.

Right.

And now he's being sued for canceling that Mississippi concert minutes before showtime.

By the venue?

No, by fans.

So that's a thing?

I don't know.

So a Morgan Wallen fans.

We live in a crazy world.

I know.

It's like if this actually happens.

Class action law suits.

That's what it is.

Shut the fuck up.

So if it actually like happens, it sets a precedent for a lot of people.

And I was just thinking, because we were talking last week when you were on the toast about Frank Ocean canceling.

Yeah.

That was like five or six days, maybe a week, but people did buy tickets for him.

So wait, riddle me this.

So had he canceled the day of, like the morning of, right?

Because I remember Britney Spears said that to me, and I was devastated.

I'm so sorry.

It was Kayfed's fault.

It was.

But like, I certainly didn't file a class action lawsuit because I'm not a loser.

Right.

But I do feel like, that's like so crazy to me.

Well, let me give you a moment.

I'm like enraged for

us, for the industry.

But the thing is, is like, had he canceled the morning of, a la Britney for me, it's like, so you don't have to physically get yourself there, go, and can you get your tickets back?

But that's the thing.

Just because an artist cancels, no matter how much time they give you, like Jan Jackson canceled because she was pregnant at the age of 85.

And then she, but she was like, oh yeah, well, I'll rebook it.

And so like, we couldn't get refunded.

So I hate when people do that.

That happened to me and Kelly Clarkson's Las Vegas residency.

And then because of COVID, she ended up canceling the whole thing.

So we actually got our money back.

I think a full year later.

But.

It depends what the artist wants to do.

They sometimes reschedule immediately.

Like the next date is June.

Your tickets will will be valid then and you can't get a refund.

For this thing, he said all tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.

Then what?

So let me tell you.

So a Morgan Wallen fan is suing the country singer on Monday for canceling a concert minutes before showtime.

Brandy Birchman filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of herself and other similarly situated patrons who attended Wallin's show in Oxford, Mississippi on Sunday, only to be told at the 11th hour that he had lost his voice.

Bircham, the woman suing, said in court documents obtained by page six that while the venue promised refunds at point of purchase, hers had yet to be issued when she filed the complaint.

Okay, I mean, it's been two days.

I mean, it takes what, five to seven pennies.

I mean, my Metro card didn't work and I just bought it the other day.

And like, I have to mail it in, like,

Dems are the brakes.

No, that's like how banks work.

You can't get a refund before like five or seven days, but whatever.

Okay.

She said, even if ticket prices are refunded, no offer has been made to reimburse concert goers for other out-of-pocket expenses they incurred in connection with the concert cancellation, including transportation, lodging, food, merchandise sales, transaction fees, and other such expenses as well.

Well, merch is a choice.

Well, it's not a necessity.

So here's the thing.

She's suing for breach of contract and negligence in addition to demanding a trial by jury.

I hate her.

So the thing is, is I don't know what do we chalk this up to?

Do we chalk this up to, you know, like life sucks and life is unfair.

And yeah, you got a sitter for a show that ended up being canceled.

Or

are we then, no, you know, I was displaced.

There should be someone to blame.

I don't know.

Like, what are, is this a legal issue or is this just, you know, know, a hard knock life?

This girl is like a total spoil brat.

She's distressed, like, energy.

Like, her privilege is like shooting out of her butthole.

Like, oh my God, like, that's life.

Shit happened.

It is.

But, like, part of me also sympathizes with like a couple, a couple who got a sitter, maybe went away for the weekend, got a hotel, spent money on merch and drinks for a concert, and then didn't end up needing the merch or the drinks because the concert never happened.

Well, like, yeah, that sucks.

And so, do I just chuck that up to like, you know what, life is unfair and sometimes things happen?

Or it's like, no, you know what?

I was put out.

I want my money back.

Here's the thing.

So like, you know, the girl with Adele, I think I brought this up last time.

And she was in Vegas and it was like her fifth time trying to see Adele.

And she'd flown there.

And then literally the minute she landed, it got canceled.

Yes.

And she was like, she did a whole TikTok.

It was hilarious.

But she was like, not again.

Like, this poor girl could not catch a break when it came to Adele.

Right.

And the amount of money she spent traveling in the world, hotels, the whole shebang.

So like my heart went out to her specifically.

If she had done this, I might have been like, okay, fine.

Yeah, she has every right.

But like, and I get this, like, yes, if you have to pay for flights and for like hotels, that's insane.

Babysitters.

Like, a Beyoncé does this when people are like traveling all over the world for her.

Right.

And this is the type of concert, like, people can't get tickets to.

It's insanely expensive.

So, like, people are traveling far and wide to go.

So, like, yes, I understand that portion, but like, girl, you lost me on the merch and the drinks.

The thing is, like, just because you bought merch and the concert didn't happen doesn't mean you can't still wear the merch.

I understand, like, being annoyed paying for drinks.

It's like, I got drunk for a show and now I just have to drive home.

I get drunk everywhere.

So like same, same.

Like I'm going to be getting drunk no matter where I am.

Yeah, I don't know.

And I'm not a lawyer.

I don't know if from a legal standpoint this has like any like she has to lose.

She will lose because I do think it sets like a crazy precedent.

Well then nobody's going to want to perform anymore because like then they're liable for all these people.

That's insane.

Because shit really does happen.

Like, you know, Sean Mendez recently canceled a big tour.

Like

Justin Bieber canceled his whole tour because of his Ramsey Hunt syndrome.

Like people are human.

They get sick.

They get, you know, mental health crises.

Like, these things happen.

And I think you're more susceptible to these things when you're traveling non-stop, working, performing, streaming for other people.

Like, you're susceptible to losing your voice.

So, I do think if this were to actually, like, he would, like, actually get sued, I do think it sets a really bad precedent.

Horrible.

And here's the thing, too.

If I were not to say what he did was, like, it was unequivocally wrong.

I'm sorry.

You owe people more than five minutes' notice.

I agree.

But then also, like, if he was refusing to refund ticket sales, then yes, like, get him.

Yeah.

But this, I mean, he's doing good by you.

Okay, but how does it work when you are refunding everyone for the show?

But like, let's say I bought my tickets on StubHub, like from some guy.

Right.

Do I get a refund?

Good question.

I know because most people like actually don't buy their tickets on Ticketmaster.

I feel like when a stadium tour goes live, half the tickets get sold to scalpers and boss and they resell them and people buy resold tickets.

Right.

But see, this is the issue.

It's like the way I feel about healthcare.

Mm-hmm.

Insurance companies are the devil, not the doctors versus the patients.

That's right.

Now we're like artists versus the fans.

Yeah.

It's the ticket people.

I mean, you're 100% right because everyone should just be able to buy tickets directly from the artist.

Exactly.

And so when they do a refund, it's not a big deal.

Exactly.

Totally.

I hate this woman, by the way.

You hate Brenda?

I hate Brenda.

All right, next up, Alec Baldwin.

He's feeling grateful for all the support he's gotten as he is resuming filming for the movie Rust, which is the movie where Helena Hutchins was shot and killed.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't just say the movie's done.

I mean, it's not like it's a big blockbuster.

It's like an independent crap movie.

Like,

it's why are they finishing this movie?

I just, I i think you know him with the charges i think it was a lot i'm relieved for him and his family you know i'm sad for the victims families and because i know that they need closure but i don't know that him going to prison for that was necessarily

closure i agree like i'm like hating alec baldwin because i think the way he's handled this has been like so disrespectful yeah and him and his wife like talking to paparazzi and just like being really i just feel like they could be way more gracious for the woman who very tragically lost her life.

And while it wasn't Alec's fault, he literally, you know, held the gun.

So I don't think he bears any legal responsibility.

I don't think he deserves to go to jail.

But I'm really just like, I'm like offended by how kind of gross he's been acting, especially his wife.

They have big victim energy.

Yeah.

Major.

Yeah.

Yep.

So I don't know why this film has to resume.

And he posted on his Instagram.

He just finished filming a movie called Supercell.

He said, I just filmed Supercell in Billings, and now I'm outside of Bozeman to complete rust.

Montana is stunning.

I'm grateful for all the support I have received here.

And this comes on the heels of the Santa Fe County District Attorney's Office dropping the charges against him without prejudice.

So he was initially facing up to five years in prison, but he got a major legal victory when the DA's office announced that they were dropping the gun enhancement charges against him in February.

I still feel like there's something, there's such a weird element to this story.

And I don't think charging Alec was a way to get down to the bottom of how a live bullet got on set.

Agreed.

But I hope this isn't the end.

I know.

I just feel like it's in such poor taste to continue the movie.

I know.

If they could do it.

Who would want to see this movie?

Not I.

After a mother, a young mother, loves you.

Yeah.

Who the fuck cares?

To be honest, I didn't want to see the movie ever.

Before the tragedy, you're so right out.

If it's a Western, I'm out.

If it's a Western, I'm out.

If it's an independent Western, I'm definitely out.

And honestly, Alec Baldwin, he's had some great...

Some great films.

I know.

I know.

I don't think he's like a great actor of our time.

I just watched It's Complicated.

The best movie ever.

He's actually, I'm sorry, he's amazing in that.

He's so to die for in that.

I know.

He actually looks like handsome.

I know.

Do you watch 30 Rock?

I actually just recently started, and it's everything.

It's the best show on television.

It's so good.

And he's amazing in it.

Amazing.

He's amazing in it.

I know.

But beyond that, sorry, he's not a great actor.

I'm very conflicted when it comes to him.

I am too because I'm so in love with 30 Rock and I loved his character and I love It's Complicated, so I definitely feel like you know a kinship, a spirited, you know, connection.

But in recent years, he's especially with his wife, he's just become so goddamn annoying.

his achilles heel a hundred percent i think he's always been teetering remember the the fat little pig comment no what was it uh thoughtless little pig thoughtless little pig but um beating up the paparazzi i think he's used oh yeah that's slurs like he has you know crazy problematic history but he's just one of those people where like people don't seem to care right but then it's like other people do one thing a million years ago and like you can't let it go it's so interesting how we like treat every yeah quote unquote cancellation and scandal so differently just double standards based on how we feel about the person literally and i feel like when when a woman does something, like we never let it go.

It's 10,000 times worse.

It's what they're known for.

Nonona Ryder will forever be a klepto.

Well, yeah, she did steal that shit.

But so what?

No, I'm kidding.

I'm totally kidding.

You're right.

Like, we like treat certain people and their scandals so differently.

I know, it's crazy.

Like, I mean, Chris Brown is my favorite example.

Jesus.

I mean, he's out here selling out arenas and it's all women going, I'll never understand some bitches.

Like, I know.

Some bitches be dumb.

Some bitches be dumb.

Some bitches.

Like, I have friends, like, people I know who like like, love Chris Brown.

I'm like, you're disgusting.

Really?

Yeah.

Someone we know, I'll tell you after.

No way.

Who?

I'll tell you after.

Okay.

I'm so excited to judge them.

Alec Baldwin, wishing you the best.

I feel like definitely a break would be good.

Yeah.

I'm always for people taking breaks, like, you know, in the public space.

A break never hurt anybody.

No.

And I think Hillary.

I won't dignify her fraudulent background by calling her Ilaria.

Hillary and Alec need, you know, they have a lot of money.

They need to just go to the Hamptons or something and chill.

Play with their kids.

They've got a thousand.

A thousand.

They just need a major break.

Yep.

Next up, a little potential casting news when it comes to the Real House Eyes of Beverly Hills.

I think I might have heard this one.

Paul Abdul says she has been asked to join Real House Size many, many times.

No way.

So Paul Abdul revealed to page six that she's been approached repeatedly by Bravo, and she didn't necessarily shut down the possibility of Bravo conceding.

She said, I've been asked many, many times.

She was actually asked by page six on a red carpet for the homeless, not toothless Hollywood Gala.

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, where cameras were rolling for the 13th season of Beverly Hills Housewives.

All the ladies were there, and Paula Abdul was like a guest of honor.

I die for Paula Abdul.

I love her so much.

So the pop star said that the series was a top contender, but it's not the only one she's been asked, but she definitely has a special place in her heart for Beverly Hills.

What other ones has she been asked?

I don't know.

Maybe New York?

Like other franchises.

She said some other franchises too, but I'm not going to tell you which.

I bet OC.

Is she down there?

Maybe she was like a beach house.

Yeah, I could see that.

I don't think she would be good with those ladies.

No, she'd be terrible.

She's her solo brow.

Yeah, I agree.

She said she's friends with a lot of the women and has been for a long time, but she enjoys being a viewer for now.

She said, as much as I'm absolutely the biggest fan and I love watching, it's a lot of drama.

She said she's no stranger to the drama, you know, because she was on American Idol.

Right.

Yada yada.

And now we have pictures of her.

You know, she's friends with Kathy Hilton.

She runs in a fabulous circle.

I'm sure a lot of the women know her, especially now through her charity work with Homeless, Not Toothless.

The dumbest name for every charity ever.

She is probably friends with Darreed and Kyle.

Yep.

I love that they're filming at the Homeless Not Toothless Gala.

I love that it's now become like a staple of the brand because I remember thinking, like, this is a nice concept, but what a dumb name.

The worst name ever.

And Queen Kathy Hilton, who couldn't say it right, calling it Toothless Not Homeless or Toothless and Homeless.

Finally, it was like the elephant in the room.

Nobody wants to say it because it's like disrespectful to like talk about a charity.

But like it's stupid.

It's moronic, but I guess in like a branding sort of way, now it's genius.

It's kind of iconic.

Exactly.

And I guess a lot of people did like research into the charity after their stint on housewives.

And they have like an a grade, like they grade the financials of a lot of big time, and they have like an F.

Uh-oh.

Yeah.

I don't know if it's like the most ethical organization.

Oh my God.

Wait, Paula?

I adore.

Yeah.

I interviewed her on Sirius.

Oh, what was she like?

I feel like she has a lot of energy.

I played this game and I think, okay, my mom called me the other day and she was like, I want you to bring this game back and put it on TikTok.

Okay.

You'll tell me the truth.

My mom's being ridiculous.

So it's called Name That Tay Tay Tune.

This is a legit game we used to play on Sirius on the show.

Okay.

Where I would like sing songs, like pop songs, but I don't know the words to anything.

So I just make them up.

So basically it's like gibberish singing.

And so people would have to guess the song I was trying to sing.

Can you do one for me?

Like, okay, I'm trying to think of like a song.

Okay, so like, you know how Zendaya just performed a Coachella?

Yeah.

And she did like that amazing song.

You know, it goes like, oh, skimmin' a ho for da, scoob it a ho.

Yeah, you know, that's how it goes actually.

But wait, I want to guess.

Like, do one, don't tell me what it is, and I'll try and guess what song it is.

Okay.

Um, think of like a song that's popular right now.

Okay, so I'm gonna do, okay, don't tell me what it is.

I don't know any popular songs right now.

Oh my god.

Well, then, how are you gonna do tay tay tunes?

I don't know.

But like, I used to do, hey, I'm gonna do one I used to do.

It's old.

Okay, that's fine.

It's a deep track.

Okay.

Okay.

Honey, potato

in the piss of a peso.

I have quite literally no idea.

Lips of an angel.

With the lips of the actually hear it now.

You do?

I think it could be.

I think it could be good on the talk.

Your mom's not entirely wrong.

Okay, so Paula came in.

Oh, yeah.

And we did a name-the te-tay-tune of her catalog exclusively.

And she had to guess the songs I was singing.

And she loved it more than anything in the world.

She did.

She was dying laughing.

Okay, I mean.

And it made me fall in love with her.

I might be like really out of pocket here, but like what's a Paula Abdul song?

Oh my god, want me to sing it for real or want me to sing it?

For real?

Like I don't think it's real.

She's a cold-hatted snake.

Look into his eyes for real.

Give me another one.

Dude, do you love me?

Do do you love me, baby?

Straight up now, tell me.

My first and

really only sort of interaction with Paula Abdul

was American Idol when I was a kid.

And I knew that she was like an old singer.

I don't know a single one of her songs.

Oh my God, she has the best songs ever.

She reminds me a lot of Janet Jackson.

Yeah, well, she was her lead choreographer for like ever and ever and ever.

Oh, and is that how she got famous?

Yes, exactly.

And then she started singing?

Yeah, but she could like sing on the side.

Wow.

Yeah.

Paula's a queen.

I don't think I need her on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, though.

Because you don't want her to be like ruined?

Not only that, but like she is at a place where she's still very much a star and an icon and she has like a legacy to protect.

And people like that who go on the show and they don't give much.

And she's kooky, so I feel like they could really take that and like tarnish her reputation.

Yeah, and she won't do, she won't get in the mud because she has too much to lose.

You're right.

You're right.

Like somebody like who has a recognizable name but doesn't have a lot to lose is a great addition to a housewives franchise because they need to get back on top.

Denise Richards is allegedly coming back as a friend.

I know.

I mean, now that now that Lisa's gone, it's like a safe space for her.

Right.

I loved Denise and I wish she fought harder.

She just kind of conceded and gave in because she was not in the mood to do this.

I do think it was all true, though.

For sure.

My point was never, is it true or not?

It was that it's nobody's business.

She basically outed two women, which is really unethical.

Yeah.

It's talking a lot about ethics today.

I know.

Look at that theme.

Ethical queens.

All right.

Speaking of our fifth and final story.

Well, that wasn't a segue.

I don't know how I'm going to segue it.

But Patty Lapone is attacking another woman again.

She's like always in the news for attacking another woman.

She's kind of pissing me off.

Okay.

So she's slamming Kim Kardashian now for being cast in American Horror story.

Yes.

So she went on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, and Andy Cohen asked her if she gives a damn about Kim Kardashian being cast in the American horror story franchise.

She said, yes, I do.

Andy said, you don't like it, do you?

She said, no, I don't.

Why?

She's taking a role away from actors.

Excuse me.

This is what, her words, not mine.

Excuse me, excuse me, Kim.

You know what you're doing with your life?

Don't get on that stage, Miss Worthington, which is apparently a reference to an English playwright, whatever.

She said, Kim is among the biggest and brightest television.

Oh, no, sorry.

That's That's what Ryan Murphy had said, that she's, they created this role for her.

She's the biggest, brightest television star, and they're so excited to welcome her.

And Patty Lapone went on Watch Up and Live and said, she's taking a role away.

She shouldn't be on the stage, the screen.

She doesn't know what she's doing.

Here's the thing.

The energy is not nice, and I don't like it.

And the delivery was not well done.

But I do kind of, I can see and understand and agree with like this mentality of like,

I feel like the acting world, every actually avenue in the HTML industry is getting saturated with like a lot of these people who are famous for not necessarily having like a skill set and they make a lot of money doing that.

Well, so that's what Jackie and I were always saying is like, when it comes to, you know, entertainment journalism,

that's not really a job anymore because it's actors and models who do, you know, Laverne Cox, Vanessa Hudgens, they're doing red carpets.

It's not the entertainment journalists of your Juliana Rancic, Ryan Seacrest, Kat Sadler, Jason Kennedy, people who were famous for being journalists.

For that job.

Yes.

So it's not just acting.

It's a trend in all fields.

Yes.

So for Patty Lapone to, and by the way, this is like not the first time Patty Lapone has attacked another woman.

So she notoriously made fun of Madonna.

Yep.

For

her role of

Ava Perrone in Yevita.

Yep.

When it was made into a film.

She also...

Criticized Uma Thurman for her Broadway performance saying, I don't necessarily need to see film actors on stage because they can't.

Not in my country, they can't.

Can I just say Uma Thurman and the Parisian woman?

Did anybody see it?

Holy shit.

I'm sorry.

Ooh, she's like an, she's an

vicious like wench, like, and always going after other women.

She's miserable and jealous.

There's a conversation to be had for sure about like reality stars doing acting and then influencers doing journalism.

There's a conversation to be had.

It's happening, you know, influencers are now boxers.

Like it's happening in every single field.

Right.

There's a lot of cross-pollination.

So we can have a conversation about how, you know, certain.

Careers are being depleted.

We can have a conversation about that.

But for Patty Lapone, it just seems like a trend where she's like kind of threatened by other people.

A thousand percent.

Because Patty Lapone was in American Hearts or Crime Story.

She was in one of them.

Uh-huh.

So she's just like constantly going after other women and it's giving like victim energy.

I really don't like this.

Yeah, I don't like it either.

She's clearly like not in a good place in her career.

She's not happy with the way things are going.

And she's lashing out because she's jealous and miserable.

And she's like a legendary Broadway queen.

Like she has a, she has a beautiful legacy.

Like this is what she's going to be known for, for like just attacking other people.

I know.

You know what's interesting though?

It makes me go like, wow, she must really, like, be in dire straits financially.

Because what else would drive you to be so bitter constantly?

And then it's like, well, there's something wrong with that too.

Yeah.

Like, you know, like, let us pay our theater actors.

Yeah.

Because there is an issue with this.

Yeah.

No, theater actors don't get paid nearly enough for how much work that they do, like eight shows a week.

Yeah.

I recently was.

privy to some information about somebody who does a brilliant job in that space.

And what they get paid is a goddamn sin.

I know.

So maybe this is less about Patty Lapone hating women and more about her like hating the theater industry.

Well, I will say, like, when people like Patty Lapone and other, you know, actual big name stars then go to Broadway or either go back to Broadway, they're not getting paid what Broadway actors are getting paid.

They're getting paid what they're due as a celebrity.

Like Jessica Chastain is now in a doll's house.

When you have like a name, you get paid, paid, but the other actors don't.

I bet Patty's worth way less than we would ever think.

I agree.

Yeah.

She's remained pretty loyal to the theater.

And she's very bitter.

She's very bitter.

Yep.

And she's, and I just feel like these days, like people who like are going to attack Kim, there's things you want to disagree with the Kardashians on, and you can have a worthy conversation about Valenciaga, sure.

But like, this is just like such a low blow.

And it's like everyone does this.

And it's like, I don't know, it's just like so unoriginal.

Well, the thing is, too, Patty, you're a star.

Like, you get it on TikTok.

Yeah.

Like, you're fabulous.

Yeah.

You would thrive.

So like she's kind of refusing to evolve.

So she should get into the space that she's not in where she's mad that people are coming into her space.

That's really the fix.

That's the best way to get revenge.

Yes, Patty.

I don't think Patty's going to take any of our advice.

Zero.

Zetto.

She a toaster?

Nah.

Not even close.
