Credit Giving Mood with Margo Oshry: Friday, April 21st, 2023

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

Happy

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.

Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend, Friday, Friday, getting down on Friday.

You have to round it out with that.

I'm sorry.

Oh my god, this has been the longest fucking week ever.

Can you believe it's Friday?

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

I'm going to scream.

I'm going to cry.

I'm going to strip.

Like I'm going to strip.

So this has been the longest week ever.

And like everyone that I've spoken to has said the same.

Yeah.

I feel like I know everyone's like, Mercury is in retrograde.

Oh, God.

I went to an event yesterday.

It was really fun.

It was like a nice charity event.

And before we started, like, everybody went around and said their name and their sign.

And I was like, oh, my God.

Fraudulence.

Wait, no.

Like, I was on a date last night and the table next to me was this group of girls.

And like, I just like overheard them like talking about like their signs the whole time.

As a society, society, like the amount we talk about signs is it's a signal that we are unwell.

Yeah.

And like the amount of like, the amount of yeah, like the amount, it's one thing to be like, oh, I'm a Taurus and you're stubborn.

The amount of like we put our like life's decisions into our signs.

You don't date certain people.

Oh, he's a Taurus.

I can't.

Yeah.

Like, what?

No, that is not for me.

Me neither.

So I was like, I'm a cancer and a Jew.

That's what I said.

I like, I don't have any sort of relationship to my sign.

My only relationship is that Taurus, Tauruses are notoriously stubborn.

But I feel like, you know, you could say that about anything.

Like, they could say, like, Tauruses are, you know, bright.

And we were like, yeah, Margo's so bright.

You know?

We wouldn't say that.

But you know what I mean?

Like, it's so general.

Yeah, you can make it work.

It's like when you read your horoscope, remember those fucking apps?

And you would like, even in the back of magazines.

Yeah, you would make it apply to your life, even though it had nothing to do with it.

They're like, I do have a big financial decision coming up this month.

Yeah, it's called red, and you pay it every month.

Yeah, literally.

Everyone has one.

I just, I can't.

So hey, counts.

thanks for being here.

Thanks so much for having me.

What are you wearing today?

You look, is that Chanel?

Yeah, it's Chanel by Toast.

Margo's wearing our new toast merch that we launched yesterday.

I know a bunch of you got it, but if you haven't gotten it yet, this is the pink new crew neck.

We also have another crew neck in teal that I wore yesterday on the toast.

It has a slightly different design.

You look stunning, Margo.

Really, truly stunning.

Margo's wearing mine.

It's a size large, so it's very oversized.

I feel like you probably could wear like a medium for a better oversized look.

Yeah, but I love an oversized.

Me too.

You look gorgeous.

Thank you so much.

I'm so sorry.

This is like in my face.

That's okay.

Fix it.

Fix it.

Good.

It's fixed.

So I heard you say you had a date last night.

I did.

How was it?

It was good.

Thanks for asking.

You're welcome.

Moving on.

So it's new.

I mean, you don't have an outlet anymore in the Snatcher.

Is there anything you want to update the toasters on?

I mean, I read your list last week.

Do I have anything that I want to update the toasters on?

I mean...

Any good books you've read?

Oh, things we leave unfinished.

That's my next book, Club book.

I know, thank God.

I'm annoyed that you haven't read it yet because we like can't talk about it, but it was seriously so fucking good.

It was basically like, do you even know what it's about?

No, I want to know nothing.

Oh, so then I won't say what it's about.

No, but please don't.

But you are saying it's like the best book you've ever read.

In a really, really long time.

I love that feeling.

It's, I like have had such a book hangover with it.

And it was just like so good.

I just like, and I normally hate like alternating timelines, but this was just like, was so well done.

Like, and there's like twists and turns.

And I was just sobbing.

It was just such, such a good book.

And there was like spice too.

Did you ever read Love in Other Words?

Yeah, I told you to read it.

Oh, you did?

Yeah.

I feel like it's a better version of Every Summer After.

Okay, I actually feel like you didn't tell me to read it.

No, you literally, I, okay.

I want to, I give you credit.

You tell me a lot of good books, but I remember just like discovering it.

Nope.

No.

Okay, how did you, you recommended it to, like, me on FaceTime or?

No, like, yeah, I think I either told you on FaceTime or like you like posted a story of like thinking about reading the book and I was like, oh my God, you have to read it.

It's so fucking good.

Oh, so I did find it.

And I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, I don't know if that's what what happened.

Okay, so Margo said I posted it being like, should I read it?

And Margo said, yeah.

So you.

No, but by the way, you didn't discover it because it's a book everyone had been reading.

I'm not saying I discovered it, but like I meant discovered it on Goodreads.

Like I found it on my own.

I didn't create it.

I didn't write it.

Right.

But like it was a trending book at the time.

No, it wasn't not at the time.

I was very late.

I was very late.

I was very late.

I was late.

Not early.

Margo.

I was late.

In our family, we are so obsessed with getting credit.

You.

Everyone.

Everybody.

Everyone.

You.

Okay, but because nobody fucking gives you credit.

you guys make shit up okay i invented casey musgraves in this house okay i'll give you that

i invented what else did i invent it just feels good when like you discover something and then everyone becomes obsessed with it no it's my favorite thing to the point where it's like i discovered megan maroney

No, you didn't.

Oh, you fucking.

No, you fucking didn't.

Anyone who had TikTok, like, of course.

I discovered Megan Maroney.

I have proof on my Instagram.

Like, I posted, before she ever released any single song, I posted a video of her singing hair salon.

She's like, this is a song that I've been working on.

I'm like, I waited a year for it to come out.

Like a year before her first song ever came out, I knew about Megan Maroney.

So don't even fucking try.

Jackie gives me credit for Megan Moroney.

Okay, but no offense, Jackie's not on TikTok.

Facts.

Okay, but I still invented Megan Maroney.

I've invented a lot of things and nobody gives me, oh, this is the big one.

I came up with Magnolia.

No, I knew you were going to say that.

No, you didn't.

I came up with Magnolia.

You didn't.

No.

I came up with the name Magnolia.

You did.

I remember where we were.

I remember.

I remember where we were.

I remember where we were.

I remember where we were, too.

Okay, because first of all, Magnolia was the second dog in the house.

Yes.

So I was the one who actually...

She was a lady of the house.

I

basically got Magnolia.

Like, Magnolia, like, by a court of law, like, belongs to me.

Oh, oh.

I was the one communicating with the breeder.

I set up all the travel and like I took you to the airport.

So I did a lot.

Maybe I don't own.

Okay.

I don't paid for her.

You paid for her.

So I did a lot of the work.

And I remember we were thinking of names before she came and i literally said magnolia let me finish bitch and then you were like were obsessed and then you were like oh and that brett oh my god oh my god you literally are a liar like i was actually made it up i was obsessed with the song magnolia by brett eldritch before yeah i decided to get you put the two together yes i did

Yes, I did.

You know what?

I don't need your kind of approval.

I know I

didn't.

No, you did.

Stamily's fucking disgusting.

Oh, my God.

I know I came up with you.

You just don't treat liars well.

I'm not a liar.

You're a liar.

Actually, you're a liar.

No, you're a liar.

You're a liar.

I was sitting on the blue couch when I said it.

Remember?

I remember.

Oh, but you didn't say it.

So she remembers it.

No, and Claudia has this thing, and Ben will back me up here where she literally creates memories.

Like, will pretend, like, make up a memory in her head and say it as fact and just expect everyone to believe it to be true.

That's not what happens.

And it's literally like, no, no, no, no, no, make shit up.

No, I'll say, and I'll always conviction.

I'll ask Olivia or Jackie because they have really good memories.

I'm like, am I making this up or did we blank?

And Olivia will be like, you're making this up or no, that actually.

Right.

Because you make things up.

Yeah, but I know when I'm making them up and I know this is not a made-up story, bitch.

It is.

So, Megan Maroney, Casey Musgraves, and Magnolia, what do you take credit for?

What are like things that you like to your core?

Oh, that's a hard one.

I feel like there's a lot, like music-wise.

I agree.

Like, I feel like, um, oh, also, one more thing.

I didn't invent, but like, I was was the OG in this house of Taylor Swift.

Oh, yeah, that's fair.

I thought you were going to say Luke Homes.

No, we all came to it.

I feel like we all came to that at the same time.

Actually,

I'm going to get out.

No, wait, Margo, and I have video proof.

No, honestly, there's just no way.

Margo, I have proof.

No, you didn't.

Yes, the first year me and Jackie did CMA Red Carpet, I believe it was 2018.

When It Rains It Poors like just came out and we were on the carpet and I was saying to Jackie, I'm like, we need to find that red-headed guy.

He's so cute and he has that song.

I think I think I got invented.

If it was when When It Rains, it pours him out, like he was already huge.

No, he wasn't.

Like the song had just came out, and then like, I was like, I was a fan of his with like fucking like Outlaw and like Sheriff.

You know about those songs only after he was famous.

No, yes, no, and also him on Vine.

No, I just want to say, like, maybe I didn't invent Luke Combs, but I was definitely the first in the family.

No, oh, hard, no, I was.

No, because it was definitely me.

Also, because I'm, I've always been obsessed with music, so I've always discovered everyone first.

No, but you just like to run your mouth and talk about it.

Spotify should do what they should show you like when you first listened to a song.

Yeah.

Like when you first discovered it.

They also should show you how many times you've listened to a song.

Like when it's not just Spotify rapped.

Like yeah, I just want to go see how many times I've listened to Long Live.

No, I want to like go back to it and be like, when was the first time I heard Out of the Woods?

You know, like I think that would be a cool feature.

Free Idea Spotify.

Like you first heard this song on September 17th, not my wedding anniversary, 2017.

You know?

Yeah.

Okay, so Casey Musker's Megan Rainy Mandoli.

I would like this conversation to end.

Okay, well I guess we could dive into the stories because that is what you're here to do today.

And I'm feeling like, you know, you're just not in like a credit giving mood.

I'm not because I only give credit where credit is due.

And credit is due.

So that's good to know because I do my credit on all four of those things.

So we've got a great show.

We've got stories, Taylor, of course, some book news, the book adaptation of It Ends With Us that I cannot wait to talk about.

So I think...

I think.

You think?

You think?

I think.

I think.

I think so too.

For the fast-time stories that you need to know.

And the fast-time stories that you need to know are brought to you by State Farm.

The State Farm personal price plan helps you create a plan that gives you options so you get an affordable price.

And it comes with a lot of benefits, like the coverage you want, a policy that helps cover what's important to you, and an affordable price just for you.

Because after all, life is just better when you can personalize your experiences.

You know, like for me, being so young and personalizing playlists with, you know, unknown artists like Casey Musgraves, Megan Maroney, Luke Combs, Brett Eldridge, et cetera.

But no, Jackie and I are always saying, so many things in life are so personal.

And Jackie and I are like literally carbon copies of one another.

We have the same life, but even our personal price plan from State Farms are so different.

Like Jackie's a homeowner.

She has two cars.

I owe nothing.

I owe nothing to my name.

And I'm a renter.

So we have different, different needs, you know?

And so personalization means that you have the power to choose what you want to include and what you want to leave out.

It just feels better that way.

And why shouldn't insurance work like that too?

That's what State Farm personal price plan is all about.

You can choose to include options like bundling your home and auto policies.

That means you'll get the coverage you want at an affordable price just for you.

In the end, you'll have a policy that gives you exactly what you want.

Doesn't that make you feel better?

It does.

Like paying for like a big bundle of things that you don't even have just because like that's what's offered is moronic.

And State Farm could never be moronic because like a good neighbor.

State farm is there.

Okay, wait, let me do one and then you do one.

You guys tell me.

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

That was a great one.

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Okay, you sunk it up too.

Well, like a good neighbor, state farm is there.

We should have done it together.

No chalky, artificial aftertaste here.

I just got a huge shipment of Perfect Bars to my home, and Ben walked in eating one.

Didn't didn't even ask, like, hey, Claudia, is this your special snack?

Do you mind if I have one?

He was just eating one, and he was literally, he didn't even know what it was.

And he was talking about how he feels like he doesn't get enough protein because he can't really eat meat that's not kosher or whatever.

And he's eating this bar, and he's like, I really need to start eating more protein.

Like, do you know any good protein bars?

I'm like, you're literally eating one, Ben.

They're not raw, excuse me.

All right, our first story has the book community, but also the film community.

Rattled.

Okay.

We've gotten a bunch of news about the It Ends With Us casting.

For those who don't know, It Ends With Us is a book that was written by Colleen Hoover, went super viral over the last few years.

Every celebrity, Kylie and Kendall, we're both reading it.

And now they're making it into a movie.

And so far, we have gotten Blake Live.

Blake, I take credit for Colleen Hoover in this family.

100% because I give credit where credit is due.

And I wouldn't have known about Colleen Hoover if it wasn't for you because you started reading before me.

Because I give credit where credit is due.

I also take credit for reading in this family.

It's before Jackie.

I give you credit for credit is due because you were on tour with me in 2018 and bitch you wouldn't even talk to me because you were reading so goddamn much and i'm like this fucking nerd better stop reading yes you didn't bend reading Thank you.

Because I give credit where credit is due.

No, I gave you credit for Casey.

I gave you credit.

You fought me on Megan.

I did fight you on Megan.

You fought me on Luke.

I absolutely would fight you on Magnolia.

And you fought me on Magnolia.

But I feel like you brought other things.

Brought good hair.

You're a bitch.

Okay, so so far,

the cast list that we've gotten has been like very hard.

We've gotten

Lake Lively as Lily, which I wasn't crazy about.

Me neither.

We also got Justin Baldoni as Ryle, which I was not crazy about about either because he's producing it like we're directing it i also don't have like a connection people love justin baldoni because he was in jane the virgin raphael and i never like i don't i don't feel connected to him i don't like

i don't dream about him he's not like a dreamy man for me no um so i have like he means nothing to me love blake lively and i support women of all ages she's far too old for this role well also i just like my favorite thing ever and like what i feel like we've done as a society is like with like shows like Summer I'm pretty outer banks like we find these people and then we become obsessed with them like even if we fail,

we discover new talent.

Yeah.

And so, that's what I thought that this was going to be the perfect opportunity.

Like, I thought Sophia LaCourt was going to get discovered and become a movie star because she would be Lily.

There were so many good ideas put out for like burgeoning actresses who haven't had like a major break yet, who are kind of known, and it would have been an amazing opportunity.

So, I was let down for that.

And then, I also just don't see her as Lily at all.

So, we actually have some positive casting news because the 1923 breakout star, who I was literally talking about with you last week on the toe,

we were talking about 1923.

We were?

I haven't watched it yet.

I know what I said, like, you have to watch it because this guy

is so hot.

His name is Brandon Sklenner, or Sklenner, excuse me.

And he is going to play Atlas Corrigan in the adaptation of It Ends With Us, which is already starring Blake Lively.

So he has been known for his role in Yellowstone prequel series 1923.

He's landed another major role.

He's joining Blake Lively and Justin Beldoni to star as Atlas Corrigan in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel, It Ends With Us.

I am overjoyed.

You know what he looks like, yes?

Yes.

And this is a bad picture.

So cute.

In 1923, Marcus.

Was he Michelle Randolph's love interest in the show?

No.

That guy was annoying.

He is, he is, I mean, it's a, he's the oldest brother, so I assume it's like gonna, he's the next line of succession after.

He's an ex-Dutton.

He's the next Dutton, but it ends on a cliffhanger, so we don't really know.

But he is so hot in the film, and he's in South Africa for most of the show.

Yeah.

So he's just like being like a safari man with like his knife and like his bow and arrow and like he's so hot and he's a very good actor yeah and he's very classically handsome and I honestly it never would have crossed my mind to put him in this but I could not have thought of someone better honestly yeah which is just so crazy because so far every other casting has been like really bad in my opinion horrible so who was left to cast now it's the young so now they're casting young lily yes oh and young atlas yeah and maybe young riled or no there is no young oh yeah it's just young lily and young atlas and for young lily and and I believe they're doing like what we want them to be doing.

Summer I turn pretty vibes.

Yeah, because I've seen a bunch of people, like Sophia LaCourt posted a TikTok, like she auditioned.

Oh, she did?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I thought it was just like a pipe dream.

No, no, she auditioned.

I don't know what ended up happening, but she auditioned.

And then this other girl came up.

If you guys don't know, Sophia Court is a TikToker.

She has red hair.

She's beautiful.

She's perfect.

She's a nice girl.

And I would love that for her.

I know.

Oh, my God.

And then other people have been coming up, like, got my call back.

Like, get ready with me.

I think they're encouraging that.

Oh, good.

Yeah.

And what they're doing which I find interesting is like all the people that they are having like audition are people who sound like Blake lively like you know how Sophia like can sound like yeah so this other girl that I saw like sounds exactly like her so it's like they're looking for people who literally look like a young Blake lively are you only seeing that for Lily or are you seeing that for Lily I'm only seeing it for Lily there was a lot of like a movement for the guy who plays Conrad in the Summer I Turn Pretty to be the young Atlas.

Oh.

Which he actually does look like Brendan Sklenar.

Yeah.

So it's kind of a good call.

That would be good.

I love him.

Who?

Conrad.

Conrad.

Me too.

Not the other one.

Not Jeremiah.

I hated Jeremiah in the books, and I hate him more in the TV show.

No, so annoying.

But we did just get a poster and a...

It's coming this summer.

Not a release date, but a.

I'm just so excited for the soundtrack.

No, I can't.

Even though second season, like, if you know the books, is like stinkeroo.

Stinkaroo.

I have been chasing the happiness that I felt.

last summer when I, I literally remember I was in Montreal for a wedding and I watched the whole thing on the hotel TV while Ben was in the other room.

Like, I have not been

as happy as I was in that moment watching that TV show.

I felt like a little kid.

I felt far too old to be watching it.

The music was literally tailored to me, Kim Petrus Taylor Swift.

I've been chasing that high ever since that day.

Well, hopefully we get it back this summer.

I know, even if it's not like, because we know what happens in the book, we won't spoil it.

Even though it's not like the best like storyline, I love Cousins Beach.

Like, I love, I want to go to there.

I just love, they really, it was a perfect adaptation.

I don't think, a lot of people were all bent out of shape.

Like, there was no Debbie Tompal in the book.

Like, who cares?

It's just a means to an end.

Like, they have to change some stuff.

And the small things that they change, like, I don't think in the book Jeremiah was bisexual.

I don't think it really.

Yeah, I don't think it affects the storyline.

Like, I actually felt like they did a perfect job.

Yeah, I agree.

But Jenny Han does that.

Like, to all the boys I loved before.

That fell off.

Beyond.

But that first movie was.

It altered like the

world.

Atmosphere.

It altered like my brain chemistry.

Bless you.

She sneezed on it.

It's true.

I was just trying to see if there was another one coming.

And then, you know, there was the kissing booth, too, which was the same thing.

But that's not true.

No, no, I'm just saying.

I always consider those movies to be like in the same way.

Why do we always have to ruin things by giving it a sequel?

If it's a movie.

No, here's the thing, Margo.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

And I've said this on the toast a hundred times, and I know you don't listen, so I'm sorry if anyone's hearing this for the second time.

This is what happened.

We all saw the kissing booth, and we were obsessed.

Obsessed.

Obsessed.

Then we saw to All the Boys I Loved Before and we were like, oh, this is a movie.

Yeah.

And then we went back and watched The Kissing Booth and we were like, oh, this is a low-budget community theater.

I cannot believe how much I loved The Kissing Booth the first time and then I watched All the Boys I Loved Before and it took it to another level that I went back and watched The Kissing Booth.

I'm like, how did I ever like this?

I never even watched the second one.

I did watch the second one.

It was Joey King.

playing with her ex-boyfriend who hated her so much and she hated him equally.

There was like the chemistry was off the charts horrendous because these two people wanted to slit each other's throats.

Oh my god.

Like it was very contentious.

Yeah.

It was just, that was a whole, but I did love that time when Netflix was like turning out young, like YA.

Yeah.

Like the one where Noah Centennio is like blindfolded.

Oh, yeah, like with Barb Perfect Date or something.

That was a terrible movie where she like literally tricked this guy.

I'm so glad like as a society, we've moved on from Noah Centennio.

I totally agree.

Like, I'm happy for for him and whatever he's doing, but I'm just so glad, like, I'm not being forced to watch him anymore.

It was a flash in the pen, and he was literally everywhere and everywhere.

We couldn't escape him.

And by the way, I like thought he was like amazing at the time.

Margo, after the first to All the Boys I Love Before, I was literally so creepily obsessed.

Yeah.

I got the hype, but they ruined it.

Like too much.

Too much.

That's what they do.

Yeah.

So I'm obsessed with this casting.

Like, I feel like this casting was done just for me.

I'm so happy for you that at least we got something.

Are you happy?

I'm not feeling any like excitement because I didn't watch, but I'm like, he's hot, and I'm just glad that it's not like someone basic, you know.

We like you're gonna trust me.

I trust you for sure.

But I do feel like he's younger than

Blake Lively and Justin Bell Done.

Well, Ryle's supposed to be older than Lily, so that's fine.

But Blake and Alice are supposed to be the same age, right?

Brendan Sklenar is

30.

Oh, and Blake Lively is

not 30.

Not 30.

Blake Lively is.

We'll go 38.

35.

Okay, not 10.

That's not bad.

All right, now while we're at it, Justin Baldone

is

Hustin Baldini Afe is what I wrote.

They didn't pick it up.

39.

Okay.

So, yeah.

It's a little confusing.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's all over the place.

But I'm so here for it.

Thank you, Colleen.

Thank you.

Everyone thinks Better Begin.

Is this her first adaptation?

Yeah.

I do believe other books of hers have been purchased, but not so many books get bought just so that other people don't make it.

You know what I have to say?

Yeah.

The only person

that should be allowed to make a book into a movie is Hello Sunshine Productions.

And I think, I think about this all the time because it's so glaringly obvious, but I think that what she did was genuinely the smartest fucking thing ever.

It's like she started a book club because she loves books.

Me and Jackie talk about this all the time.

Started a production company and then just like buys the movie rights to all of these books and then just makes amazing films with amazing.

Like she does an amazing job and she probably makes so much money.

Her company was just invested in by BlackRock.

It's over a billion dollars.

Yeah.

I mean, that's not surprising.

Like, I just think, like, it's a no-brainer.

No, the whole arc of it makes so much sense, which is why it's so successful.

She loved to read and she would think, like, hmm, this should be a movie.

And then she's like, wait, I work in movies.

Let me start a production company.

And she's just a talented, like, producer and actress.

So she knows how to make it good.

Yeah.

She's done.

Crawdads, which was great.

Great.

She did Little Fires Everywhere, which wasn't amazing.

I never finished it.

Big Little Lies, was that her?

She was in it.

She was in it.

I don't know if she did it, but there was one that I just watched.

Oh, this is going to kill me.

Oh, Daisy Jones.

Oh, yeah.

By the way, I want to talk about that because last time I spoke to you about Daisy Jones, I told you that I wasn't feeling it.

By the way, and also, I wanted to update everyone.

Jackie started it yesterday.

Oh, and she's hating it.

Oh, yeah.

And she said exactly what I said about Daisy.

Like, she is not the right actress.

So now that I finished it, I'm like obsessed with everyone in the case.

How did we get here?

How did we get out?

I used to give us something to see.

But I didn't read the book.

Oh.

Because when it was like trending, like everyone said, like that I asked was like, you would hate it.

So like, I'm not going to read it.

So yeah, I don't, I can't say like based off of what I would read if it was good, but like I just thought like, I mean, the cast, I'm obsessed with them.

Like Camilla Marone, like Suki Waterhouse, the two of them.

The two of them.

I'm going to take a bullet for her.

Yeah.

I love them.

Like, I just like love all of it.

I thought it was just so well done.

Also, the music was so good, which is so easy.

No, like most of it.

There wasn't a song where I was like, this is bad, like the river.

Tint to scene down to the river.

Yeah, because you know the aura.

Like they had really good people.

Marcus Mumford is a part of music.

Marin Morris.

They had good people.

I know, but like, it's just so rare that like music that you never hear and you like love it.

Yeah.

So totally random side note, but I think this is a good footnote for this story.

I forgot to make it a story, but I'll just add it.

Are you seeing all this Jessica Chastain drama?

She won't sign the book.

Okay, so Jessica Chastain is currently in a play on Broadway that's like really critically acclaimed.

Apparently, she's amazing in it.

And every night when you're on a Broadway show, you go out the back door and there's people waiting for you with like, you know, posters to sign.

And I guess last night or two nights ago, somebody brought her a copy of

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and asked her to sign it.

And she said no.

And there's been a lot of hoopla.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a book that has been purchased for adaptation.

And there's a huge movement for Jessica Chastain to play Celia St.

James.

She's this red-headed actress, very old, Hollywood.

And really, Jessica Chastain is perfect for it.

On Watch Rappin' Live, she was asked about it, Andy asked, and she was like, I've heard about it.

Send me a script.

Like, I'm down.

So, this video of her saying no to signing the book went viral.

And people are like, she read the script and she hated it.

She doesn't want to do the book.

Like, jumping to conclusions.

Yeah.

That she put out a statement and she was like, she put out a statement on her Instagram.

Oh, I didn't see that.

She was like, I get asked to sign books all the time.

And I say no because it feels weird to sign something I did not write.

It feels like I'm taking credit for her book.

By the way, 100%.

She said, it doesn't mean I saw a script and didn't like it.

It just means I'm not signing something I didn't create.

Or that I'm not a part of yet.

Yeah, I didn't think there was anything, I didn't think her not signing it, I thought it was very respectful to the author.

And I didn't think it was like a sign that like she hated the script.

Yeah.

No, but she has to.

B.

Celia St.

James.

And Asa Gonzalez.

It has to be Evelyn Hugo or Anna Darmas would be good too.

She would.

Yeah.

I'd be happy with either of those.

But Anna Darmis gets every role.

Yeah, that's like it's not fair.

Like leave something for Asa Gonzalez.

That's so true.

All right, ready for our next story, a little T-Swift news.

This is crazy.

Have you heard about this?

Taylor Swift sidestepped the FTX lawsuit just by asking a simple question.

Okay.

Yeah, please explain.

Okay.

You know what FTX is?

It's a ticket thing?

No.

So FTX, in like Thanksgiving time of last year, it like blew up.

So it was this app.

for crypto, kind of like Coinbase.

You know how we use Robinhood for stocks.

Sure.

And FTX was this major app that like millions and millions of people were using to make money, sell crypto coins, all that stuff.

And it turns out the whole thing was fraudulent.

They stole money from people.

People who put money in the app like never got it back.

They worked with Shaq, they worked with Tom Brady, they worked with huge celebrities to promote this, getting people on the app.

And I guess they had made an offer to Taylor Swift.

So when it comes to making business decisions, Taylor Swift does her due diligence all too well.

Very funny, CNBC.

So in 2021, the pop superstar was approached by the now bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, offering her a $100 million

sponsorship deal that would have involved selling her tickets as NFTs to her fans.

However, it never materialized.

Before inking the deal, Swift just asked the FTX representatives a simple question.

Adam Moskowitz, who's one of the attorneys leading the class action lawsuit on behalf of people towards FTX, they're suing the celebrity endorsers because it's like, you promoted this fraudulent said, I lost money.

So he went on a podcast called The Scoop and said, in our discovery, Taylor Swift actually asked them, can you tell me that these are not unregistered securities?

And they were unregistered securities, thus making the whole thing fraudulent.

So she never took the deal.

Even if it weren't for that, I don't think she ever would have done the deal because she's not going to ask her fans to buy NFTs, like, especially for this tour.

Like, it was so important and everything had to go right.

Like, Ticketmaster didn't even go right.

I don't think she would have done it anyway.

But the Moskowitz lawsuit is seeking $5 billion in damages according to their website.

They claim that FTX's high-profile promoters didn't properly research FTX before participating in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in the form of yield-bearing accounts.

Swift is one of the only few celebrities to questions the exchange.

Swift is not named in the lawsuit.

And of course, she did not return a request for comment.

So this is so crazy because like classic Taylor Swift having her ducks in a row.

I know, but like, isn't she tired?

Like sometimes, like, you know what I mean?

Like having, like, doing your due diligence with like everything.

She has people.

I don't think she was like, let's find out if it's unregistered.

She has like the professional business people.

But wouldn't everybody?

Like, wouldn't Tom Brady would know better?

But this reminds me a lot of Fire Festival.

Yeah.

Because it's like, you know, Bella Hadid promoting something that put people like in danger.

So true.

Do we blame the influencer or do we blame the brand?

And it's similar to this.

Do we blame FTX or do we blame Shaq?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think it's like you obviously blame the brand.

Yeah.

But I do think that there's obviously a responsibility on someone this major.

The endorser.

But I don't think like Taylor was really ever, even if they were like not unregistered, I don't feel like they didn't even get to the point of like her actually considering it.

Like, I'm sure it was like they got this deal, her team did the due diligence first, and then would bring it to her, right?

But they didn't, they were like, that was not viable, and never even brought it to her.

But she comes out looking like a

hundred million dollars is not enough for Taylor, yeah.

No, for her tour, like she's probably gonna, this tour is gonna gross over a billion dollars, yeah.

She's already played to a million people, isn't that crazy?

She has like 800,000.

Speaking of, did you see that?

The video of Amanda Stanton's kids?

I did.

Amanda Stanton from The Bachelorette went to the Eras tour somewhere and had the best tickets ever.

And her daughters are so cute and sweet.

And they were all dressed up as like princesses.

They knew every word.

And Taylor saw them the whole show and kept singing to them.

Yeah, it was so cute.

There's a video on her Instagram.

Now that's why you have kids.

Yeah, totally.

So Taylor Swift could be able to steal Michaela

just for the show.

Taylor would bring her up on stage.

Taylor brought her up.

She would be so blown away by her beauty.

Yeah, totally.

We should kidnapped Kayla.

I don't think it'd be a kidnapping.

I think Olivia would let.

And I think Kayla would want to come.

I don't think Olivia would let.

Like, concerts are like crazy.

I mean, Kayla's, like, really young.

Yeah, that's just so.

Like, I think you could bring a two-year-old to a concert.

I don't know.

People have done crazier shit.

Yeah, I see all the girlies out here pumping at eras.

Like, they are queens, like, literally going to the bathroom and not even going to the bathroom.

The amount of TikToks I've seen have been like, I got appendicitis surgery this morning and now I'm here.

Yeah, like, no, everyone is doing the most.

Yeah.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, like, it's actually hard for me to talk about this story.

Because Margo and I have like something that we need to share.

So last night, what time was it at?

Seven.

Well, you were on your way to, what time was your day?

My day was 8:45, so it was 8:30.

So at 8:30, Margo texts me and she says, Claudia, I said, yes, Margo.

I was in my bed, you know, me time.

She says, Taylor's at blank, a restaurant we go to, like multiple times a week, literally every week.

She said, I know a few people there.

Everyone is texting me.

Taylor, Nicole was there.

Nicole was there.

Texting Margo.

Taylor was there having dinner with Gigi, Cara, Delavine, and Blake Ladley.

And Blake Ladley.

In the restaurant, not even in the private room, like in the restaurant.

Everyone, like the way she walked in and everybody in New York knew about it within five minutes.

Like, no, that's what was the craziest thing is because this happened right before my date.

And then I'm on the date.

And like, obviously you have to put your phone down.

Uh-huh.

And like the whole time, I'm just like in pain.

And when I picked up my phone, like, I genuinely had so many text messages about it.

And I'm like, it's really so crazy.

Also, because notice that there, I haven't seen a paparazzi hoto.

I know, I was going to make it a story today, like, Gigi, Blake, and everyone goes out with Taylor.

And

they just had the story two nights ago.

She was at Casa Tripriani with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

And so funny, somebody had texted me who was at Casa Tripriani and said, Taylor Swift is here with Ryan Gosling.

I'm like, what?

Yeah,

Ryan Gosling.

And then the next day I saw the story.

I'm like, oh, my friend was just mistaken.

She's obviously not obsessed like I am with everything that goes on in Hollywood.

So Margaret and I like knew that she was at our favorite restaurant, like knew we could just walk in there.

But Margo was on a date and I was like home looking like a rat.

By the time I like brushed my hair and like put makeup on, she would have been gone.

Yeah.

And got downtown.

And also everyone was telling me like just to bring my date like to the restaurant.

I don't think you understand.

Like I couldn't have this man seeing me like that.

Margo, I just want to say like you probably could have.

No, no, no, no.

I would have been so embarrassing.

Also, like, I would just, I just feel the best that he knows that you're like deeply unwell when it comes to Taylor.

I mean, I obviously brought it up so like he was aware.

Oh, good.

Just so you could talk about it.

Yeah, I had to.

I had to get it out.

What did he say?

Does he like Taylor?

Yeah.

I mean, he's like, no, I I feel like some people are like, oh, she's so right.

She just writes songs about her boyfriend.

No, no, no.

He's not one of those.

Because that's like immediate red flag, deal breaker.

Immediate like goodbye, deal breaker.

Yeah.

Because he obviously doesn't support women in the arts.

Yeah.

If that was true.

But I.

So you didn't go.

We didn't go.

And I don't know.

I also like, what are you going to do?

You can't go up to her.

So I'm just going to sit and stare.

No, I feel like.

I feel like it would have, like, I would have not been okay.

I would have just wanted to.

I weirdly like don't want to meet her ever because I can't handle it.

I don't know.

Like, one time she sent me merch.

What if, like, I walked in there and like, we made eye contact?

She'd be like, oh, girl, with that job.

No, that's like crazy.

I know.

I'm totally kidding.

But she did send me merch once, even though it was probably like Tree or, you know, some assistant, some lowly PR girl who was just like happy for the task.

But, but maybe.

Yeah.

I can dream.

Maybe she listens to the toast.

Imagine.

I feel like I would listen to a podcast where they talk about me every day in the most complimentary, beautiful ways.

It's like, I don't want to be her fan.

I want to be her friend.

Margo, that's like so real.

It's so real.

But you know what's cool about Taylor?

It's like all of her friends are her fans.

Like, did you see on opening night when like Haim and Emma Stone, they all went and they were like in merch, like geeking out?

Yeah.

Like, I feel like she kind of likes that.

So maybe like we have a chance.

I know.

I really think she'd like love us.

No, here's the thing about Taylor that I know she would like about us.

Like one, we respect her.

And we always have.

We don't have a history of.

No, we're not a flip-flopper.

We're not flip-floppers.

Two, she's so family-oriented.

I mean, hello.

Who's more family-oriented than us?

No one.

And I feel like when it comes to her friendships, she looks for like very few things.

Loyalty,

trust,

fun.

That's us.

LTF.

LTF.

How loyal are we?

Beyond.

The thing is, like, you can really trust me.

Like, the way I know so much about so many things, like, it's crazy.

And I don't say them on the toast.

Like, I was actually thinking the other day, like, I was having this crazy conversation with like an A-list celebrity in my Instagram, and I did not say anything on the show.

So, because, like, if I want to keep having those conversations, I can't be out here like blowing shit up.

A thousand percent, even though it kills me.

Cause if you guys knew, like, you would die.

Yeah.

Fun.

I mean, no one's worth fun.

Taylor, come with us to stage coach.

You'll never want to go anywhere without us.

Ever.

This is just our pitch, like, our Shark Tank elevator pitch.

Taylor, I know you're not in the market because you have like amazing friends.

A million friends and you're so busy.

And they're like richer and like more beautiful than us.

But what we lack in looks and money, we make up for in charisma and talent.

And personality.

Oh my God.

She would be cackling with us.

Cackling.

Cackling, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke.

And then we can make jokes about like people she hates.

You know, like

love it.

Yeah.

Just an idea.

I'm just throwing it out there, Taylor.

Feel free to think about it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Taylor, while you think about it, I'll let everyone know that today's episode is brought to you by Single Drunk Female.

From the executive producer of girls, we've got a brand new show on Freeform and Hulu called Single Drunk Female.

The Guardian actually called Single Drunk Female a Next Level Fleabag.

we talked a lot about this show.

Again, it's from the executive producer of Girls.

It's about Samantha Fink, and she is on her journey of sobriety.

And I saw Hannah Burner on a podcast say, Sobriety is in right now.

It is.

And Samantha Fink knows that.

Getting sober was not the end of her journey.

In season one, which we all watched last year, it was a journey to get there.

And now that she's sober, she's starting from rock bottom.

We'll see the real challenges and all the hard work and being an adult, finding personal success, and learning to celebrate yourself while sober.

So while Samantha Fick may have started, Samantha Fink may have started at rock bottom, she's here now somewhere in the middle.

She's 549 days sober, not that she's counting, and things are looking up.

So if you're interested in like a fun, good show, which like there's nothing out there these days that's just like actually funny and light and like has heart, check out Single Drunk Female.

The season one reviews were amazing.

I loved it.

Again, it just does have something light to watch that's like cute and funny and everybody's like good looking.

I just really like that.

It's really funny.

They have really good, I feel like an authentic

portrayal of sobriety.

So, free-form single-drunk female, all the episodes are now streaming on Hulu.

Enjoy it.

It's really good, and I feel like it's very toasty.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Droplet.

If you've been listening to our show over the last few weeks, then you've heard us talk about our new skincare devices that we've been using called the Droplet.

Droplet takes powerful skincare ingredients and turns them into fast-moving micromists that painlessly deliver them into your skin.

And this is important because your skin works as a barrier, making it incredibly difficult for your skincare ingredients to really seep into your skin instead of just sitting on the surface.

So it means like the collagen, which is notoriously too large for absorption, but it's critical for maintaining firm, hydrated, youthful skin, can now actually penetrate into your skin and keep it healthy.

So I've been using the collagen in the droplet for the last few weeks.

I definitely feel a big difference in how my skin is absorbing.

I feel like I used to do like big skincare routines with like a thousand things and then lay in bed and it would just like wipe off on my pillow.

But the droplet, like, it absorbs right up.

What movie?

I don't remember.

She's the man with the channel.

It absorbs right up.

Oh, yeah.

So the droplet collagen formula includes other powerhouse ingredients like peptides,

air deraline, and it offers the lifting effect of injectables without needles, pain, or downtime.

So the product is really amazing.

For a limited time, our listeners can get $200 off their droplet device.

That is a crazy

deal.

At droplet.io when you use code toast.

So that's D-R-O-P-L-E-T-T-E dot I-O.

That code is toast to get 20, excuse me, not 20, $200

off your droplet device, droplet.io.

That code is toast.

All right, our next story.

Twitter has removed blue check marks from legacy verified accounts, including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, The Toast, Jennifer Lopez, and more.

So Elon Musk's purge of blue check marks from Twitter accounts verified under the company's previous regime has begun.

Now a blue check mark badge on Twitter primarily signifies that it's the account of a person.

No, it's an account belonging to someone who is paying Twitter for the perk.

This article is so shady.

I just rephrased it because they were like being shady, but it's like, now, this is from Variety.

Now, a blue check mark on Twitter primarily signifies that it's an account belonging to someone who is paying Musk, one of the world's wealthiest individuals, for the perk.

Just to be clear, like when you spend the $5 a month on.

He's not going into Elon Musk, Musk's banking.

No, he's trying to make Twitter a profitable business because they literally have been like losing.

They're the biggest tech company in the world and like has been losing money.

It was just like shady.

Like whatever you feel about it, Egil.

I'm like, that's just not.

Now we lost our verified check mark and they were like, do you want to pay for Twitter Blue?

And I was like, oh, fuck no.

That's literally so embarrassing.

I think having a check mark now on Twitter used to be a sign of, you know, priority and reprieve.

Yeah.

And now it's humiliating if you have one because you're paying for it.

Can I argue the same thing on Instagram?

You don't pay for it.

That you do now.

You do.

Not you.

Like, if you're verified before all of this, like, that's whatever.

But you can now buy

Where have you been?

Oh my god, I didn't know that I'm am I an influencer?

You can buy verification now and it's like you pay per month and But do you have the same verification as everyone else?

What do you mean like it should look a little different?

It's like bitch.

I paid for this.

It's same exact thing.

So now like people how much is it?

Um, I don't remember.

I want to say it's like either 15 or like 25 between that.

And you obviously have to have like a minimum amount of followers now.

No.

There's no prerequisites.

No.

I didn't know that.

Yes.

And it's like, that's why, like, I don't know if you've been seeing more like verified people.

I actually have.

Yeah.

And it's not real.

And it's like, it's honestly like, it's annoying.

No, it is because maybe you have to be a business account in order to buy it, but like that.

But like, the whole point of inventing verifications was to, you know, be able to tell when somebody who's well-known know that you're looking at their profile because there are so many fake profiles.

Right.

So really, like, it was invented verification for a purpose.

To verify an identity.

Right.

And so this is just weird and I feel like everyone's talking about like businesses because like you

like

it makes you like look more legitimate.

Right.

Which like that makes sense, but it's not just businesses who are doing it.

No, no, it's just so weird because it's funny because I feel like everyone just hates Elon.

Like everyone's talking about this Twitter thing.

I didn't even hear that you could do that.

Yeah.

This rolled out like sooner, but the difference is that

they're not removing.

Yeah.

So if you like, if someone you know like recently newly becomes verified, like you know they paid for it.

Yeah, a thousand percent.

Well on Twitter, like

a lot of um and they're also changing like if you're a website like CBS or whatever, you have a gold one.

It means you're like a publication or a news.

Okay.

So it's it's different, but if you have a blue one and you're like a celebrity like paying for it, like that's like so embarrassing.

So embarrassing.

It's like, why do you care that much?

No, especially like on Twitter, irrelevant?

Irrelevant.

I haven't seen everyone I follow who's like famous, like doesn't have anything.

People are not buying it.

I don't think anyone's going to buy it.

But then Elon also said he was going to keep, he's going to pay for his own.

No, like LeBron James, like three people who he like really liked.

He's going to pay for them to keep it.

Like he's going to buy Twitter blue for them.

I mean, this is moronic.

And I don't know what,

but the thing is, is like, when you look at Twitter from like a business perspective, like I do believe like

Elon is like making them like a lot of money.

Well, I'm sure.

Like he did lay off a bunch of the people who like were not necessary to him.

And now he's like creating new revenue streams.

So like it's weird, but I do think Elon is like actually making Twitter a profitable business, which is why he bought it for $40 billion.

For sure, but it's right now, like, long-term, will that I don't know?

I don't know, but like, Elon is like the wealthiest man on the planet for a reason.

So, like, I trust him.

Yeah, he'll figure it out.

Like, if I had a business that needed turning around, they were like, Are you gonna have Elon do it or someone else?

Like, I'll give it to Elon.

Yeah, for sure.

Um, my next story is something I'm obsessed with that's going on this weekend.

Sophia Richie's wedding.

Oh, oh my god, I was talking her on the way here.

Stalking her on the way here because she just joined TikTok to kind of like blow up probably about her wedding.

Her TikTok handle is her soon-to-be-married name.

So the RT Grange.

She's getting married abroad, so I'm sure she actually probably is already leaving.

I think they are.

I saw a TikTok.

He was like wearing his wedding ring.

So her fiancé, Elliot Grange, and her have hit.

By the way, do you know that she's the beauty director of nude sticks?

Yes.

I didn't know that.

That's really smart.

She joined TikTok to share her wedding festivities, but like we've already been seeing it because we follow Octopus Lover.

Do you know he's there?

Yeah, of course.

Jake Sheen.

Is that crazy?

Like, is he friends with Elliot?

I'm pretty sure he's cousins with Elliot.

How fun for him.

Yeah.

And I've been, like, waiting with bated breath to see celebrity arrivals.

Cameron Diaz and her husband and son or daughter, excuse me, just arrived.

That makes sense.

Why does it make sense?

How do they know each other?

Cameron Diaz is married to Benji Madden.

Uh-huh.

Whose brother is married to Nicole Richie.

How did you?

I couldn't connect at this point.

I don't know which Madden each is married to, but they're married to brothers.

Cameron is married to Benji.

Benji's brother is Joel.

Joel is married to Nicole Ritchie.

That is how...

And Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz are friends, obviously, because of that.

So, I saw him being there, but I didn't see like a lot, of course, Lionel would be there.

Oh, it's only Friday now, so I feel like everyone's probably getting there like today.

And she's being so cool about it, she's just acting like a regular girl, she's not like she's sharing everyone's stories, who's posting her, but she's not like her captions aren't like about wedding.

Like, it's just so cool.

And I like love her new style of like just being like effortlessly like speak and phenomenal,

timeless, and a Jewish queen.

I know, she converted.

She converted, so they'll probably get married like under a khippah with rabbi.

I'm obsessed.

obsessed and i can't wait to see her dress i feel like it's definitely gonna be chanel because she's a chanel girl she's a chanel girl right now and like octopus lover um who is at the wedding like is a toaster and like it's very possible he's like laying at the beach right now at hotel dukop and he's listening to the toast like giggling and being like hey sophia like they're talking about you gotta listen to this pod yeah imagine imagine yeah sophia just like keep turning out the content we need more we need more i wonder if any like young hollywood is gonna be there though like who are her friends like she's not like a star fucker annoying like a million face.

She's not like a Haley Bieber friend.

I don't know.

She like was for a while when she was dating Scott because she was like with that crew a lot.

But she just seems very balanced and very normal.

No, which is why I think so many people like her.

Yeah.

And I haven't seen like crazy amounts of celebrities, but you're right.

The wedding is probably on Sunday if it's an Orthodox wedding.

Right.

I'm obsessed.

And he's so cute and everyone says he looks like Ben.

He does.

And you know, his dad is like the CEO of Universal Music Group.

I knew he was like big in music.

Yeah.

I thought he did it on his own.

I didn't realize he was a Nepo baby.

But you know what?

We'd love to see Nepo babies marrying marrying one another.

To create grand Nepo babies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm obsessed.

Obsessed.

She's so beautiful.

And you know what?

Like after Scott Disick, I am so

obsessed.

She deserves the world.

Yeah.

And I'm so happy.

And like, what's better?

Not that this is why she's doing it.

No, I know what you're going to say.

But what's better than just like stunting on your ex with like a better man, a better everything, and just like getting married.

And getting married in like the most, literally one of the nicest hotels in the world.

I don't know if the wedding is actually there, but that's where everyone's staying.

I imagine it is there.

I imagine it is as well.

I'm obsessed.

Obsessed.

And, like, imagine just being a wedding guest, a hotel guest at, like, because I don't think they took over the whole hotel.

No.

Because I see, like, people in the background.

Just like hotel guests.

Yeah.

And if you're a hotel guest at that hotel, since it's like so private and expensive, and I think you actually have to be approved to stay there.

You're obviously like of a certain caliber, so you're not, you know.

Obsessing over and talking about it on a podcast.

Which is why we're not there.

Right.

All right.

Our fifth and final story is something I can't believe doesn't happen more.

An unclaimed Powerball ticket worth $1.5 million is set to expire.

Time is running out.

Nobody has claimed it.

So, someone in California is the winner of a $1.5 million lottery prize, and they may not even know it.

The California lottery announced on Tuesday that time is running out to claim the prize, which is set to expire next week.

Days have turned into weeks, weeks have turned into months, and the California lottery is still waiting for the player who bought a winning Powerball ticket in Los Catos this past October to come forward.

The winning ticket, which was drawn on October 26, 2022, is due to expire on April 24th, and it has these numbers, 1936, whatever.

They were missing the Powerball number, which is why it wasn't like a billion dollars, dollars, but they had everything but the Powerball number, so it's a $1.5 million ticket.

It's been traced back to a purchase at the mobile gas station on Los Gatos Boulevard in Santa Clara County.

The winning ticket was one of two that matched five numbers, missing only the Powerball in the draw on Wednesday, October 26th, officials wrote.

Anyone who may have purchased the ticket for drawing is encouraged to search their car, junk drawer, wallet, and any other place they stash their ticket to see if they have one.

At this point, there's no way of knowing if this was a local resident who bought the Powerball ticket or if it was someone just passing through.

And you know what?

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often because lottery tickets like are not digital in any way.

Like if you open your window and it blows out the car window, like you're fucked.

Also, I have two things to say.

One,

how do they keep track?

Because it's like, think about it when you go to like a bodega and you buy like a lottery thing.

Like, I don't think that they, like, the cashier is keeping track of like which number.

No, they're not.

So like, how do you know?

Well, the machines that like the lottery people sell to the bodegas, like, track all the data.

That's how they know.

It's like when the powerball is a a billion dollars and everyone's running out and getting tickets they'll say a winning uh thing was printed and it's in california oh and then also like i'm just because everyone is like so you know selfish i'm shocked that the company whatever it is powerball like even reminded like keep your money i was thinking that too because i was probably thinking probably a lot of unclaimed tickets go by with like you know couple hundred thousand not the billion ones but every now and then i'm sure somebody loses a ticket and they wouldn't want to remind because they don't want to give the money away but they are that's why I'm shocked I'm shocked too but I'm actually not shocked I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen more often yeah like that episode of friends whoever it is probably knows and probably accidentally threw it out and is probably

like

we need to check in on them so I have bought lottery tickets many times in my life and I always take a picture of them smart but I don't know if that um is eligible like if I lose a coat check right like if

later or later if I won the lottery and I lost the ticket but I said I have a picture of it would they be like, sure?

They'd think it's Photoshops.

Like they'd probably.

Maybe they could check the barcode and maybe they could do like a run a thing on it.

But like,

I'm sure

they would need it in hand.

I just feel like the lottery needs to modernize, even though if the lottery was digital, everyone would be much more skeptical of it.

A thousand percent.

I think tickets on your so much better that it's like it's cash only.

It's on paper.

It's very like, you know, Oregon Trail.

Yeah.

It's so old school.

So old school, but better that way.

But you know i

many years ago when there was like a big billion dollar powerball i bought tickets and i lost half of them but someone else won and it was in california but like why is it always in california but i why is it always in california that's such a good point

yeah

yeah

so those are the fast fact stories hopefully whoever has this ticket like

get it so you can go on my lottery dream home that's what i would do if i won the lottery i would go but it's really it's 1.5 million so it's really like 750 000 it's 750,000, and that's if they take the lump sum.

I mean, that's if they don't take the lump sum, and if they do take the lump sum, it's probably like 500.

Still a shit ton of money.

Yeah.

I could use it.

Maybe I'll have to check my car or my junk drawer.

Maybe I have a winning ticket.

All of a sudden, you live in California.

Maybe I was in Los Gatos, Santa Clara.

Los Gatos.

Those are the fast five.

That was a toasty week.

We're back next week.

That's all she wrote.

That's all she wrote.

And anything else you want to say to the peeps?

Anything you want to promote?

Well, I want to promote Margaret's merch, toastmerch.com.

New crew necks, mugs, phone cases, and our new toasty designs with our new logo, our first merch drop since our rebrand.

Just get it.

Like, I feel like it would be insulting to your intelligence if I explained why they're so fabulous.

Like, you have eyes.

Yeah, and they're so comfortable, too.

It's fabulous.

Yeah, no, just follow me everywhere.

Instagram, TikTok.

And where would they follow you?

YouTube at Margoschre.

1-0.

1-0, Margosre.

And yeah, that's really it.

We're going to stagecoach next week.

Oh, my God.

We're going to Nashville the week after.

Oh, speaking of Stagecoach, for a Patreon episode this month that went up yesterday, I did a vlog trying to get my outfits ready and it was really a journey.

Although I did end up with two good outfits so far.

I was halfway through it when watching.

I'll tell you my thoughts later.

Did you get to my first good outfit?

The sweater vest?

Yeah.

Love.

Love, right?

Okay.

So it's like a really fun, kind of chaotic vlog because everything on this planet is backless and cropped and some of us have big jugs and rolls on their stomach that they don't want to show off.

I know it's like kind of crazy.

So patreon.com slash toast for a vlog.

A little giggle before we get into the weekend.

But I hope everyone has a great weekend.
