Respect YAR Elders: Tuesday, January 24th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Uh

shook that it's only Tuesday.

Hey, Jax, are you feeling shook as well?

I'm not as shook as you because I was acutely aware of the day of the twos, but I am shook for a few other reasons.

One,

we're just the hair girls today.

Yeah.

La Turdia got a haircut and her hair is bouncing.

You know what?

It's so...

You know, it's a huge part of, I think, growing up up is realizing what you want in a haircut and just asking for it as opposed to like going home and crying, you know?

Yeah.

For me, when I get a haircut, it's like, I'll say what I want.

And yes, in general, like, please follow what I say.

But it's like, if you take off a little too much, like, I'm not complaining.

Oh, for me, end of the world.

Like, even if I don't like how it looks.

I know it'll grow back.

And it's like, it's fun to see myself with these different hair lengths.

Like, as long as I'm feeling myself otherwise like you know if i'm feel if i'm feeling confident maybe right now isn't the time to like chop off all my hair but if i'm feeling myself like i feel like you're feeling yourself like i am you know what mclair do your worst I got a great haircut, I just want to say, and if anybody is feeling inspired by my haircut, this is what I asked for.

And I feel like it took me a while to figure out like what the right thing to ask for was.

My hair had gotten a little long, but the length didn't bother me.

So I said, for the length, just a trim.

I think I did like two inches, just the dead, nothing crazy.

But I wanted like lots of layers.

So my slut strands are now like, you know,

banging.

They're really short.

I have lots of movement.

All my hair is different lengths.

But the overall length of my hair is still, I still have long hair.

Yeah, that's what I say too.

I say, cut the dead.

I used to be like, leave the dead.

I just want the length.

And then they would cut the dead because what hairdresser is going to leave you with lens?

And that's when I would be disappointed, honestly.

So now I say cut the dead because we just want the hair to bounce.

I don't need it to be down to my butt crack.

Cut the dead, add layers.

Layers.

So by the way, I have kept that mentality with my nails.

Like when I get my nails done, they're like, do you want to cut?

This nail's broken.

This one's uneven.

I'm like, no, keep the length.

Like my goal is to always have long nails.

And like when I get a manicure, I'll have two long nails, two stubs, one broken one.

That's so funny.

Yeah, I used to do that too.

And then like I would post a picture of my manicure on Instagram and people would reply like, your nails are all different lengths.

No, people would be like, is your index finger okay?

And I would just be like, I didn't know that was a problem until you mentioned it.

Yeah, and I'm not letting the haters get me down.

Like, I love my uneven nails, you know, because I still got, I got, you know, a really long ring finger right now.

I've recently, for the past few years, been on a stage where it's like, one nail is broken, cut them all.

That's the healthy thing to do, and that's the mature thing to do, but I ain't that mature.

Yeah.

So the hair is hairing.

So is yours.

Thank you.

I am coming on here with my headband situation.

I don't know how it's going to look with the headphones, but we're trying new things, you know?

Like we are.

You'll never know if you don't try.

It looks good in person without headphones.

Like we'll see what's going on on the screen, but either way, it'll be an exciting change of pace.

We're just experimenting with our looks recently, you know?

Are we?

You're never experimenting with your looks.

One thing about me is I'm not experimental.

No, but we're both wearing our hearts on our chest today because we both are wearing sweaters with big chest symbols.

Symbols.

Mine has a heart on it because I'm giving love.

I'm receiving love.

I'm in my loving era.

Yours has a bear on it.

What does that mean to you?

Because I'm just as sweet and cuddly as a teddy bear.

I wouldn't say cuddly, but I'd say sweet.

Depends on the person.

No, like you're except Harry.

Like you're not cuddly.

I brew.

Actually, I would say you're more cuddly with Brew.

Because Brew loves to cuddle.

Harry, you know, is constantly wiggling and worming.

So independent.

He just wants to, like,

play.

Can I tell you something, like, kind of embarrassing that happened to me this morning?

Sure.

So I live very close to my studio and during the spring, you know, fall seasons, I usually walk.

It's so cold in New York.

It's been like raining all week.

I was running late and I'm just like fatigued, you know?

So I took an Uber, okay?

Now,

I'm not going to underestimate how frequently I take the Uber to work.

I do when I could walk.

But today I get in the car.

And the driver was like,

do you take this ride every morning?

And I'm like, no.

I'm like, just like on days when it's like really cold or raining.

He's like, oh, okay.

And then he pulled up and he was like, I'm like, oh, right here.

Let's go.

He's like, oh, you don't want me to make the U-turn?

I'm like, have you driven me before?

He's like, yeah, like three times.

Like you always, I like lied to him that I never take the Uber in the beginning.

And he's like, no, I literally drive you every day.

He must live near me or something.

Yeah, when I used to be on the same route every day in New York, I did have the same driver, a few different drivers, a couple times.

No, it's embarrassing when like your commute is so short and like you're still opting to take an Uber because you're so fucking lazy.

I'm really, it's like, that's definitely one of my resolutions is to

be

better with the walking, but I have to carry my laptop.

It's so heavy.

I need to get a backpack or like honestly, a suitcase.

Or an Air Max.

What are those thin ones called?

MacBook Air.

Well, I will say I do have a MacBook Air at the studio.

That's what I'm using to talk to you right now, but I don't use it for our post-production because MacBook Airships.

I don't believe, honestly, in MacBook Airs.

I don't believe in the Air.

brand and you know what yesterday when I went to get my iPad for our Greta approved green initiative she was like which one do you want and I was like I don't know the air is really light but I just feel like air is like fraudulent and she she like didn't disagree she was like yeah like kind of you know like yeah if you want to download files like definitely for our line of work you can't have an air computer for the iPad the only thing you would ever be downloading is like shows when you're traveling.

But still.

No, I just, I don't know if it's like a conspiracy theory of mine or there's any proof, but like I do not fuck with the Air brand.

Okay.

She said what she said.

I said what I said.

So

I don't know what we were talking about, but we're done talking about it.

Yeah, we are, my Uber driver.

That's a good segue.

That's a good

segue.

I don't have much to catch up with you on.

I wanted to know how your book club was.

Titillating.

Titillating.

Tell me everything.

Start from the beginning.

And what are we reading next month?

We haven't chose yet because I feel like we don't want to rush, you know?

Like, we want the book to choose us.

So we read it in five years.

I was raving about it on the toast like two weeks ago or a week ago.

You have literally no concept.

I know.

I'm excited.

I know.

Please.

I recall everything three to four months ago when it was either eight months ago or last week.

So it was last week, right?

Yes.

I loved this book so much.

I was so excited to to go and talk about it.

A lot of the people in the book club did not like it.

Yeah.

That's what we did.

I experienced at the Redheads.

I will say, though, upon, so we did like

our stars at the beginning, like what rating we gave it.

And then we also did stars at the end.

And a lot of people like found that through the discourse of the book and like finding deeper meaning, their rates went up.

Wow, you're kind of shaking up the book club mold, stars at the beginning and stars at the end.

Because you know what?

I actually like, there were certain things in the book that really spoke to me, especially because like I'm always interested in reading about people who like have experienced grief.

And the girl in the book has experienced two major moments of grief.

One was a sibling she lost extremely suddenly.

And the second was like a best friend slash almost sister who had like a very slow illness and you have to watch the person unravel.

And I feel like that's like the two types of deaths.

And I feel like whenever like we talk to people or I talk to people about our dad passing away, they're always like, you know, well, at least he wasn't sick for a a long time.

It's like you find solace.

And then people who are experiencing grief with somebody who's like going through an illness and dying slowly, they always say, well, at least you have a chance to say goodbye.

Like there's pros.

Like, I feel like we're always comparing those two different types of death.

Yeah.

And you know what?

The book brought me a lot of peace because I think experiencing someone, you know, slowly dying over an illness and having to grapple with their death for months, I think it's 100% worse.

Like, and now I feel, I feel at peace with the grief that we had to experience as kids, honestly.

Wow, you're really extrapolating a lot of meaning from this book.

I was, and actually, a lot of my friends in the book club have experienced grief, and I think like talking through it actually made them like the book more.

Wow.

So I think I was changing hearts and minds.

I was like, the book club wasn't ready for me in my sermon.

No, they were not.

But you should tell your friends to listen to the redheads if they didn't like the book because they'll find a lot of like-minded.

Yes, I will.

Don't worry.

I'm constantly at my book club spreading the good word of the redheads to RBC.

Oh my God, thank you.

So what's the vibe for the next one?

I know you guys like, don't, you probably don't want to do like another romance.

Romance.

No.

We don't know.

Like we honestly, we were having such a good conversation.

We didn't even get to talk about the next month's book.

You know what you should add to your list?

It's like, it's technically serious, but it's an easy read.

The Midnight Library.

That was suggested.

That is what you should read.

That was suggested as well.

And it's short.

It was, um, it was gorgeous.

It was really, you know, I love book club.

Like, it's good, sober fun.

I've been trying to tell you Lattered.

You have.

Lattered.

No, don't worry.

Like, I know.

I'm watching Dope Sick next week.

Like, don't worry.

What'd you get into last night?

What did Harry say about me?

Not much.

Oh, he was missing you.

But you were on the FaceTime with him doing your Miss Rachel thing.

I was.

I'm literally Miss Cloudy for Littles.

Yeah, you should put together a video.

The way I go put a smile on these kids' faces, it's not normal.

You should do a video of you singing

and talking talking and like filming Patreon.

Yeah, film it in the studio.

Just like Miss Rach.

Like, what does she have that you don't have?

Nothing.

Overalls.

Go get them.

Amazon.com.

And you have to like find out what your like look is, what your fit.

I think the big heart honestly is perfect.

I think the sweater is perfection.

It's perfection for the littles.

And just like, do your thing.

I know.

I don't like love like all the littles though.

Like just my own, you know?

You're not a camper file?

No, I'm like a, I'm like a, if I'm a related to you, I love you.

If I don't know you, like get away.

All get away?

Some are cute.

Super cute.

Yeah, I just like this love and like obsession I have in my heart with the nibblings.

Like I don't think that applies to children at all.

Okay, so just pretend like you're talking to your nibblings.

Yeah.

And then we can export that love to others.

Export it.

Export it.

Exporting littles.

Yes.

So we had a fun, quiet night here.

And then I just read, I went to bed really early, but I I read, I was reading Hillbilly Elogy.

Yeah, I called you.

You did?

Yeah, I wanted to tell you about Bubble Club.

Shit, I didn't even see the miss call.

It was like 10.15.

I'm like, is this bitch sleeping?

I was already asleep.

So nice.

Yeah, it was nice.

And my book put me to sleep.

Thanks, Hillbilly Elegy.

Also, it's a big day here at the Toast.

It's just like how you're wired and to unlearn a lot of the things that you know, like for me, eating when I'm bored or just like mindlessly snacking when I'm watching TV is so like a core part of who I am.

And Noom helps unravel that.

So their program uses psychology.

They help you understand the science behind your eating choices and why you're craving what you're craving.

They've helped more than four and a half million people lose weight.

Everyone's journey is different.

so your daily lessons that you get from Noom are going to be personalized towards you and your goals.

So the scientific principles like cognitive behavioral therapy are going to help you understand your personal relationship with food.

The program is super flexible because it focuses on progress, not perfection.

Okay.

100%.

Don't let them forget.

I feel like this might be a good time to remind some of our new listeners.

I have two songs out.

One is called Toast and one is called 100%.

And they're both just like bops.

Like, you don't have the songs you'll ever hear, but they're really good.

You see my mug?

Always supporting.

You see my phone case?

Hunter Percent.

Hunter Percent.

Hunter Rosa.

Hunter.

Hunter Rosat.

Hunter Person.

Okay, our first story.

Oscar Noms came out this morning at the crack of dawn.

And here are the nominees in the big categories.

First, best picture.

All quiet on the Western Front, Avatar, The Way of Water, The Banshees of Inishirin, Elvis, Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Fablemans, Tar, Top Gun Maverick, Triangle of Sadness, Women Talking.

Ooh, sounds dreadful.

Yay.

So I haven't seen like any of the movies except for Top Gun and Elvis, and I don't think either of those are going to win, nor do I really think that they deserve to.

I've heard the Triangle of Sadness is amazing.

I've heard Everything Everywhere All at Once is so good.

So maybe I'll see them, but I don't know.

I'm just like, I'm not an Oscar girly.

I'm not really like a feature film girly.

Okay, neither am I, but I had a revelation recently because you know how I was saying that when I watch TV shows, like I get too addicted and then it's, it sucks all my time.

And like I'm always thinking about it.

Any free time that I have, like I'm not going to do anything productive.

I'm just going to turn on the TV.

I kind of think I should start watching movies more because then it's over.

Like when I watched the sound of music, I broke it up into two nights and then it was over.

And like, what am I going to be addicted to?

Like reading about Christopher Plummer online?

Not me, not ever.

I feel like you actually are.

I've been seeing your institution.

I am because I've been seeing some conflicting stuff.

Oh, well, actually, I agree that

that would be great for you.

So I think I'm going to watch as many of these movies as are on demand.

Like I want to watch, I still haven't seen Top Gun.

I was actually thinking last night, like, I should treat myself.

Oh, my God.

It's such a like a little popcorn.

100%.

Okay, I'm going to do that.

I think I'll see, I'll watch watch the trailers for everything, so I don't even know what some of this stuff is about.

But I've heard really good things about Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The band she's of Inishirin is on every single list.

So I like, but then, you know what's going to happen?

Is that I'm going to watch something so terrible that I'm going to say

this whole enterprise is a waste.

You're going to say for that reason, I'm out.

Yeah, and I really want to see the whale, but I don't think it's streaming yet.

No, it's not, but it is on my list of things to do.

And Taylor Strecker said she wanted to see it with me.

So like, I'll have a day night at the movies with Taylor.

So cute.

So, yeah, I don't have a horse in this race yet.

I only have two, I have two horses in two separate races.

And, like, it makes me think back to like two years ago when we were doing whatever award shows, Golden Globes, whatever, and like Dope Sick was nominated.

And I wasn't there like saying Dope Sick should winks.

I didn't see it.

So, who am I to say?

That was very me thing of you to do.

Which is what?

To like not watch Dope Sick two years ago, watch it now.

But, like, I'm rubbing off on protesting.

I'm rubbing off on you.

Okay.

I'm just saying, like, maybe I shouldn't have an opinion on this if I haven't seen every movie.

Obviously.

I know.

Darn God.

I don't have an opinion.

I only have two opinions, and I'll tell you them when I get there.

Best actor, Austin Butler, Elvis, Colin Farrell, the band she's a Vinishirin, Brendan Frazier, The Whale,

Paul Mezcow, Afterson, Bill Nihe, Living.

Not Bill Nye.

Not Bill Nye.

No.

Obviously, Brendan Frazier absolutely has to win this.

It will be the greatest ending to the biggest comeback in Hollywood history.

I'm so happy for him.

Honestly, even just getting the Oscar nomination is huge.

So like he really has won.

But

I can imagine the room if he wins.

I feel like everyone is voting for him.

Like it honestly sucks to be anyone else in this category.

Yeah.

You know what?

I feel like I've noticed is a trend in this year's awards cycle, which I'm loving.

It's like these actors who kind kind of fell off the map for a little bit, having a resurgence.

So it's like Brendan Frazier, Jennifer Coolidge, and Key Hai Kwan from Everything Everywhere All At Once.

And all of their speeches when they won were like, you know, I thought it was over for me.

Like I, for Key Hai Kwan, he had been like a child actor and then like nothing since.

And the director of Everything Everywhere All At Once like gave him this opportunity.

And like same for Jennifer Coolidge, as she said, like she wasn't working and like Brendan Frazier was on the outs with Hollywood.

And like, they're so grateful and they know what it is to work and they know what it is to not not work and then to like come back at this level.

Like, this is a trend I'm loving seeing, like justice for the elders.

I chills.

I love the way you just described that.

It's so true.

Like, I feel like for many years, it's like the same people winning the same awards, and it gets like kind of monotonous.

And it's like, who's the youngest?

Who's the freshest?

Like,

it's always like the next, next, next, but we're never like going backwards.

And like, what about all these established people who are so talented and would love any opportunity to work and have been like waiting for their turn?

So true.

So I'm so rooting for Brendan Fraser here.

Like I will be so happy.

I haven't even seen the movie, but I have heard it is incredible and he is like heartbreakingly amazing in it.

I'm going to see it.

It is my one job before the award show.

Yes, like we need to see it.

He's going to be amazing, but like I want that speech from him because like you know there's going to be tears.

Less you sneezed on it.

It's true.

Thank you.

And I think the whole room is just going to be like if the whole room is going to be on their feet.

Yeah.

And if he doesn't win, like, I'm out.

Throw it away.

No, the only acceptable person is Keehai Kwan because he's so cute.

He's in best supporting, so we can support everyone.

Oh, okay, okay.

Best actress.

That's my first, that's my first horse in this race.

Okay.

Best actress, Kate Blanchette, Tar, Anna DeArmas, blonde, Andrea Riseborough to Leslie, Michelle Williams, the Fablemans, Michelle Yeo, everything everywhere all at once.

I'm kind of obsessed with Michelle Yeo.

Like, honestly, I'm choosing her.

I'm going to watch that movie for my movie nights.

Yeah, you know what?

That's actually a movie.

The Taylors, I was with them on Sunday.

They were like, you have to, they were like screaming at me.

Like, you have to.

Okay, great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I need it to become come personally recommended from someone, like, not from the academy who I have like nothing in common with.

Like,

from like people who I have common interests with.

Like, what do you think?

Will your girl like it?

Yeah, the Taylors loved it and they also loved the menu, but I don't see that nominated anywhere.

Me neither, but I've heard about, I think, um Anya Taylor Joy is in it, so she's a joy to watch and anything.

She's an Anya Taylor joy to watch.

Yeah, so I would watch that too, but not if it's not nominated, it's not part of my homework.

100%

Best supporting actor, Brendan Gleason, the band she's of Inishirin, Brian Tyree, Henry, Causeway, Judd Hirsch, the Fablemans, Barry Keowan, the band she's of Inishirin, Keehai Kwan, everything everywhere all at once.

Keehai Kwan.

Yep, same.

Keejum.

That's my vote.

The supporting actress, Angela Bassett, Black Panther, Hong Chow, The Whale, Carrie Condon, The Banshees of Inishirin, Jamie Lee Curtis, Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Stephanie Su, Everything Everywhere All at Ones.

I don't care.

I don't care.

And a snub here is Sadie Sink in the whale.

Oh my God.

Well, I don't know if she was any good, but I imagine she was death.

Y'all saw her in all too well.

It's so true when I just saw her.

She didn't even speak.

And I just saw her at the Chanel Paris Week fashion week show.

She's like, there's like three it girls of Chanel this year.

It's Lucy Boyden,

Sadie Sink,

and get this, Apple Martin, Gwyneth's daughter.

She's like making her coming out debut as a Chanel girl.

Okay, I just saw a photo of her.

I guess I hadn't seen one recently.

Striking.

No, it's like actually not fair.

Like it's like the world, that's how you know the world isn't fair because Apple Martin, she's super young.

That's literally how she was born to look.

You know, that's her natural look.

Her mom is Gwyneth Paltrow.

her dad is cold play she looks like that and it ain't fucking fair yeah

it ain't right but you don't know you know what she's going through yeah sure whatever but it ain't fair um

yeah

anyways that's cool of of chanel good stuff yeah no it was like a cool moment and i love that for sadie sink so she was probably like having fun and then like heard she didn't get nominated for an oscar and was like kind of devastating but and the whale wasn't nominated for best picture so i don't even think i know like where will brendan sit like sit it's not tables so but like does she even get to go That's maybe she'll be a presenter because she was in a movie where someone you know like the movie isn't nominated though.

So you're right Brendan.

I hope he gets a plus one.

Why would he take her?

Not her.

Oh, I just I'm saying so he doesn't have to sit alone.

Of course he'll get a plus one.

Yeah.

No, he should get like plus three because he has like a wife and two kids.

Three kids.

Three kids.

Plus four.

Best animated film.

Guillermo del Toros, Pinocchio, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Puss in Boots, The Last Wish, The Sea Beast, and Turning Red.

Oh, Turning Red.

Is that the movie Michaela likes about like the panda who gets her period?

Yes.

I just feel like if you don't have campers on the council, like how are you choosing the winner for this category?

So true.

This should be a parent.

Like, I don't care what some

elder thinks was the best animated film.

I completely agree.

Yeah.

Or a parent.

A parent can choose.

Because they've seen them over and over again as well.

Yeah.

Next, best director.

Okay, who cares?

Just get to the song.

Best original song.

Applause from Tell It Like a Woman, Diane Warren.

Hold My Hand from Top Gun, Lady Gaga.

Lift Me Up from Black Panther, Rihanna.

Natu Natu from R.R.R.

Music by M.M.

Kiravani.

That's the song that keeps winning.

I know.

And this is a life from everything everywhere all at once, Ryan Lott.

So I haven't heard that not to, not to song that's winning everywhere.

So like I can't say, I can't speak to it, but I feel so passionately that Lady Gaga's Hold My Hand is one of her like best songs.

I cannot stop listening to it.

She so deserves to win, but I imagine that she won't.

Yeah, but she already has an Oscar, right?

Yeah, but like it's still doesn't matter.

Like she not

have like less right to loot to.

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

But like if this was her oh on the stop to egot and like she didn't win, that would be even more frustrating.

But I'm just worried about Egot for her.

Like,

I agree, she deserves to win, but at least we get a live performance of Hold My Hand.

Oh, true.

On the flip side of that coin, Taylor

snubbed

for crying.

It was a good song.

We don't get a performance.

Why would they?

It was a good song.

No,

I wouldn't have it be the winner, but it deserves to be nominated.

It's a very beautiful song and a perfect

original song for that movie.

I agree.

It really captured the spirit of the movie.

That's so interesting, but does that mean we're going to get a Rihanna performance?

Yes.

Like, there's no way.

Yep.

I mean, she's going to have a busy month.

Super Bowl.

Super Bowl.

So true.

That's like a pop-in category in terms of star power.

Imagine if Taylor was in there too.

Taylor, Rihanna, and Gaga.

And not that it's about this, but why wouldn't the Academy like want Taylor to come to the show and perform and like make their ratings?

Make their little show

relevant.

Maybe they thought they had enough star power with Rihanna and Gaga.

I don't know.

This feels like nasty.

Nasty, totally.

Just like nasty.

Like someone had it out for her because she deserves to be nominated.

Has she been nominated for an Oscar?

Like Beautiful Ghost from Cats, which was a terrible movie, but a beautiful song.

Let me look.

Taylor.

Beautiful Ghost.

It was actually like a really good song.

And I wonder, I mean, I don't know if this is a thing, but like, could All Too Well

be nominated for a short film?

Short film.

I think we would know if it was.

All too well.

No.

They're not making it easy to find, so no.

Let me just look.

Short.

Live action short.

I mean, it's not there.

Yeah, and I don't even know if it would qualify, but I kind of assumed that it would because she like entered it in film festivals and stuff.

Yeah, it could.

Taylor Swift's All Too Well isn't in the running for an Oscar, but she could still win.

This was before the nominations came out.

She could still win for Carolina.

But then she didn't.

It's an extent.

The Senate Music video did not make the cut for live action short.

That's despite a high-profile Oscars campaign that included a screening and Swift's appearance.

So she tried.

Sad.

Yeah.

Damn.

Well, those are the Oscar noms that you need to know.

Do we have a host?

Do we have a host?

If we do, we've definitely reported it, but who would remember?

I feel like

last year was that like Amy Schumer, like the trio of women?

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, goodness.

It was actually very good.

Oh, goodness.

Who is it?

Jimmy Kimmel.

Oh, man.

Enough with these talentless hacks.

Like,

I feel so strongly, like, even the ones that I like, like, I like Jimmy Fallon, but like...

The Jimmys and these just like straight white men who've had shows for 15 years, like, they are not funny.

Like, when you think of the talent, like, on the internet, like anyone have, like, now with the internet, like anyone being able to just like have a platform and get their comedy out there, when you think about really the talent that's out there, we're still circle jerking the Jimmys and James.

Like, come on.

It's, I don't think, I don't want an internet talent for this, honestly.

It takes a while.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

I know what I'm saying.

But what I honestly would be fine at this point, because I feel like hosting has just become like this big thing where it's like, nobody wants to do it.

And also nobody's asked to do it.

And then like when somebody does it who's new, they just kind of get picked apart unless they're like incredible which is really impossible like

why can't we just have like someone who is like a textbook host like you know walter cronkite like just someone who's gonna danse what's going on yeah either they need to do that or like knock it out of the park ricky gervais every year yeah because he's excellent ricky gervais should always host

or someone of that nature

that caliber and who's not afraid to insult everyone in the room.

100%.

But the Oscars don't want that.

Like, the Oscars are, they're not like the Golden Globes where it's a dinner and we're laughing and we're drinking.

Like, the Oscars are so serious.

So, like, have a serious host.

Like, they don't need to make us laugh.

Since why do we need to laugh?

Just tell us what's going on.

Last year with Amy Schumer, why can't I remember who else was in it?

Amy Schumer.

Was it Wanda?

Regina Hall.

And Wanda, yeah.

They were actually hysterical.

I didn't watch enough.

I watched, I believe I watched the whole thing.

I must have been bored.

And it was good.

I watched some of it because I remember we were just a few minutes behind when the slap happened.

But also, Harry was just born.

The slap, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, well, whoever, like, is hosting has to discuss that.

Yeah.

Also, Will Smith wasn't nominated for Emancipation.

I don't think any of them.

Oh, I didn't even know he had a film out.

Yeah.

So they will be held on Sunday, March 12th.

Oh, that's in a long time at the Dolby theater in hollywood gorgeous and they'll be on abc so we'll see you then gorgeous

we'll see you then

are you ready for our next story yeah shaylene woodley is speaking about her breakup from aaron rogers and she seemingly refers to the breakup as the darkest hardest time in her life i mean same devastating literally same

same shaylene woodley found a creative outlet to work through a time when she was struggling in her personal life the actress told netta porte that filming the upcoming showtime series Three Women, based on the 2019 book, provided challenging during one of the darkest periods of her life.

She said, quote, it was hard to film because I was going through the darkest, hardest time in my life.

It was winter in New York and my personal life was shit.

So it felt like a big pain bubble for eight months.

I was so grateful that at least I could go to work and cry and process my emotions through the character.

The show was filmed between October 2021 and the following May.

That February, people reported that Aaron and Shaylene had just ended their engagement.

They were then spotted together again, but then it was confirmed that they broken up again, as we remember.

I totally forgot that they were together because I've honestly blocked out the trauma for me and the heartbreak.

That was such a fabulous couple.

Like I was obsessed, even though like I'm not a Shaylene Woodley girl.

And I wasn't an Aaron Rodgers girl, but together, magic.

It just like, it made sense.

I really thought they were like together forever.

I miss them.

I know.

Now I'm just like being reminded.

I'm glad she's opening up, you know?

Yeah.

And I'm glad she's like, she experienced the relationship like as we did as like a really kind of important and serious relationship for her.

Yeah.

She also talked about like the relationship being kind of her first like famous relationship.

She said, it honestly never really hit me that millions of people around the world were actually watching these things and paid attention to them.

Then I dated somebody in America who was very, very famous.

It was the first time that I had a quote unquote famous relationship.

And I watched scrutiny, opinions, the desire for people to know my life and his life and our life.

It just felt violating in a way that before it was fun.

She said, I'm a very private person.

And so I found that anytime I posted anything, i instantly felt like i was sharing too much of who i am with people i didn't necessarily trust that's actually so true i didn't even realize like how she hasn't had like

any

like famous boyfriends yeah

couldn't be me she like risked it all for the love of aaron and you know what it was good

They need to get back together.

It's the world's not the same since they broke up.

No, it's definitely not.

But I wonder if like now she she wants to continue to date famous people or not.

No, definitely not.

I know, but there's also like a

shared experience.

Like I do feel

it brings you closer to a person.

Like no one in the world knows what it's like to be like actually famous except other famous people.

Yes.

Yes.

And I think because they were such different types of fame, I think that that worked.

But I think it could also be really isolating to just be like on this island with this person and feeling like you can't trust anyone.

And then like,

that's not really great either.

Or there's like always like a competitive, like Nicola Shea and Jessica Simpson, like, there's a competitive element to it, too.

But not when it's Aaron Rodgers and Shaylene, which is why it was so good when it was good.

So, I was just saying, like, celebrity relationships in general can have that too.

Of course,

right, like comparing how much you're working to how much the other person is working and how many followers they have, and like just general comparisons.

Yeah, and comparison is the thief of joy.

Okay, Teddy Roosevelt.

Thanks.

Teddy.

Teddy!

Teddy Roe, Zevelt.

Roe?

Oh.

Oh, Teddy Rowe.

Got it.

Anyways, Shaylene.

I don't know what to tell you.

Anyway, Shaylene, get back to work.

Go make it work with Aaron.

People are waiting.

The show looks good, though.

Yeah.

Shaylene

loves a TV-based book.

Mook-based books.

She's.

And she picks good projects.

Like, she really does.

Yeah, she's got a good picker.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cool.

Next story, a little music news.

Panic at the disco is breaking up as Brendan Urey confirms he's expecting his first baby.

So

Brendan Urey put out a statement on the

on his Instagram saying that the band is splitting up and confirming news that his wife is pregnant.

He said, it's been a hell of a journey, but sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.

He said, that said, I am bringing this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus on energy and my family.

And with that, Panic at the Disco will be no more.

Wait, that's kind of crazy because literally Panic at the Disco was on tour this year with Betty Who.

Like I actually wanted to see it.

Like,

so I feel like they were still actively working.

They were doing like big stadiums.

Like, that's kind of weird.

But I also was under the impression, like, Panic at the Disco was Brendan.

Like, he was like his stage name.

Like, I didn't know there were other people in the band.

Oh, yeah.

It's definitely a band type thing, but I don't think it it works without Brendan.

Right.

He's like Adam Levine.

On the one hand, like, I'm sad about this because I love Panic at the Disco.

Like, their songs are just straight bops fire.

But on the other hand, like, I don't really get to complain because I never seen them in concert.

I don't listen when they put out a new song.

Like, who am I to say that you need to work instead of be with your family?

No, like, like, I think of the most recent band breakup as like Rascal Flats.

And it's like, that was devastating because, like, we were out here streaming, buying tickets.

Like, we were doing everything to support our favorite band and it wasn't enough it came to a grinding halt it was like all of our efforts weren't even noticed and it didn't even matter i mean same as

a little mix

right and it's like we went from four to three and like i never let that change how i felt i never even mentioned it i never said anything never and then like it was them who said

but two of them had babies and they said it was a break and i'm holding out hope like why wouldn't they want to come back no and they are still on good terms i don't think between the two of them all the time

Yeah, with like one direction, them going on break.

Like, there was so much underneath the surface between the guys.

Like, so much that I feel like we still don't even know about.

Do you feel like there was so much underneath the surface lyrics?

Yes.

And it feels like with Little Mix, like there's a lot of harmony there.

Like, there's no acrimony.

Wow.

Not the harmony.

SAT word.

SAT word.

So

goodbye, Panic at the Disco.

Yeah, I wonder if, like, Brendan Urey has enough money to, like, just retire, because that's what he sounds like.

Like, I have kids now, like, I don't want to work anymore.

Or, like, I have kids now, not that he's never going to work again, but like, he'll work on his schedule, like, doing, you know, his songs with Taylor and a song here, a song there.

But, like, to be responsible for a whole band when like you're on your own timeline is a lot of pressure.

So, maybe now, pressure's off.

Yeah, maybe.

Or maybe there's more to the story.

Yeah.

There's always more to the story.

Ain't that the truth?

Are you ready for our next story?

Only if it's the next story.

Oh, that's brought to you by like a new-ish sponsor that I'm obsessed with, Honey Love.

Okay, so I have had Honey Love products for years

long before they were a sponsor of the Toast because I got a targeted Facebook ad and like actually bought it and it changed my life because I love a control top underwear.

I love shapewear, but I find like so many of them make me physically ill, they make me nauseous, my stomach hurts, and like they cut my night short because I want to look smooth and gorgeous, but I'm wearing like an actual rubber band around my waist.

Okay, our next story is some celeb gossip news: new relationship for Pete Davidson.

He is dating Chase Suyi Wonders, and they can't keep their hands off of each other on vacation.

They are co-stars in the, I don't know what it is, show movie, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

Yeah.

And they've continued to spark romance rumors after they were spotted getting handsy while wading into the crystal clear Hawaiian waters.

There's pictures of them like smooching on the lounge chair, hugging in the ocean.

And it seems that these two are very much an item, which is just crazy,

like how quickly he moves on.

Like, I feel like at one point it was a joke, but I also feel like earlier, like he took appropriate breaks in between relationships.

You know what I mean?

But like to go from Kim, which was a serious relationship, because as she said, like, she's a serious girl.

He had like five and she had kids.

He has five tattoos of her he got a branding because he said like this shit's forever to break up from that relationship and then just be like dating emrata

and then to break up with emrata now just to be weeks later dating someone else like honestly i don't think he was ever dating emrata what do you think that was

I feel like, honestly, that was like kind of like a move on Emrata's part to like be spotted out, be relevant, like stunt on her ex-man.

I don't think these two were ever, and like Pete was happy to go along with it, like, because he's a good guy.

Like, I honestly i they were spotted at the nick game in a car and in some dingy building like i don't know so you think it was like fake or just like friends i think it was like a desperate move on emrata's part but why would she say do that with him

Because that's like what people care about.

Like you want to be spotted and like make a make a statement to your ex who cheated on you.

Like you go out with Pete Davidson.

Like you know people are obsessed.

No, if I'm at Rada and I want to stunt on my ex like I'm going out with Brad Pitt.

All right, it's not so easy.

It is like for her.

So, I just want to say, like, I officially don't care about Pete Davidson.

Like, I feel like there were a few of his relationships that, like, I got personally invested in, like, Ariana, Kim, of course.

I kind of love the Kate Beckinsale moment.

Like, I, I can't give any more of my heart to this man.

I don't care.

And actually, like, it's, it's kind of tacky.

You know, I'm going to start chalking at him the way, like, we would talk about a woman.

It's gross.

Women behave this way, like,

things that people would say.

But I also find it so weird that like girls still want to be a part of this you know what i mean like i know like i would you know if he were to ask me out which like he really is doing every single day like i'd be like no pete it's weird that like you need to process your relationships like and be single for a second be on your own so true like how are you just gonna jump into something with me when like how are you not still thinking about kim

Yeah, no, I think this whole thing is weird.

Like I like, this has been ever since Ari, like the BDE, Pete Davidson's hot, like this whole journey, I am now now on the bottom end of the

hyperbole.

Is that the right word?

Yeah.

Parrot, like

curve, you know.

Yeah, but what's the word?

It sounds like hyperbole.

The

okay, whatever.

I'm at the end of it, and I'm annoyed, and I'm like, you know what?

Stop.

Like, for real.

Be

stop.

Yeah.

I'm kind of over P'd.

I said it.

Were you really so under him?

No.

Yeah.

But like, I was playing along with everyone.

Like, ah, Pete, Kim, Bariela.

I was playing along.

I'm done playing along.

Okay.

Are you ready?

Play, I shall no longer.

Are you ready for some our fifth and final news?

Is more happy couple news?

It's the fifth and final story.

I haven't done one of these in a while.

It's the f what is it?

What is it?

Remix.

What is it?

It's the final story.

Damn, I want my lunch now.

You know what?

Me too.

What are you going to have for lunch?

Great question.

I don't have anything lined up, but I think I should invest in a lunch plan.

Yeah, I'm going to head down to that new...

Have you?

I've been there.

Have you ever been to the new cafe?

I have been.

Oh, it's a gorgeous new cafe.

I know.

I kind of want like a Claudia lunch, like a bowl with like

chicken and rice.

Rice, salmon, veggies, a bowl.

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna go down to the market table.

Damn, I'm jealous.

I love a bowl, a hot bowl.

A hot market bowl.

Yeah.

Our fifth and final story is some happy couple news, rumored romance for a while, but now it is confirmed that Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are together.

Larsa is making the romance Instagram official.

She posted a photo with Michael Jordan's son, Marcus, on her grid yesterday and said, checks over stripes at Trophy Room Store.

A lot to break down here.

Okay, is this really a confirmation though?

Because they have had a friendship for a while.

They were photographed leaving many restaurants together and they've maintained that it's friendship.

Yes, but earlier this month, there's pictures of them kissing outside a hotel in South Beach.

Uh-oh.

And she's never like posted.

I guess it could, no, I don't think that it is.

No, they kissed.

They kissed.

They kissed outside a hotel.

And there's paparazzi kissing.

That's great.

Now tell me the age difference so I can judge accordingly.

Okay, Marcus,

she's 48 and he is 32.

Okay, while it is a significant jump, I do think a 32-year-old is capable of

making

their own decisions.

So I'm not going to, I will, I won't be judgmental.

Yes.

It's okay.

But the shade here is this caption, Chex over Stripes, because apparently Chex is like Nike.

And so like the Air Jordan is part of Nike, the Check family, Stripes being Adidas, and Scotty Pippin is like an Adidas guy.

I don't know.

I feel like Larsa is not bitter about the Scotty thing.

That's what I've never, but that's what I thought too.

And that's why this is surprising because this is kind of like a shady caption to her ex.

But maybe it has nothing to do with, like, when I think of Adidas, I don't think of Scotty Pippin.

Yeah, wait, i don't know where i got that that he has anything to do maybe she's just supporting nike

and jordan that's what she's saying or maybe that's like a song lyric or maybe it's like hold on let me search scotty pippin adidas maybe he has like a this is like so far out of my realm of like knowledge okay no it's like sports athletic wear nothing important is coming up so it's not a swipe at scotty because i was gonna say that's shocking too she always speaks about scotty with such reference how they're friends like they didn't even need to bother getting divorced i don't even think but she says they just like split everything and like walked away.

I just want to say for me, the most shocking part of this conversation is that Larsa Pippen is 48 years old.

She looks incredible.

Yeah, she does.

I think this is a really cute relationship.

She kept saying on the show that she doesn't want to date another athlete.

And even though Marcus like played college basketball, now he owns like a high-end sneaker store.

So I don't think this qualifies as an athlete, but I think she's still like

sports adjacent, which is what she likes.

Yeah, no, agreed.

I don't think this counts as an athlete.

It's like the family member of an athlete.

It is just weird because I feel like Scotty Pippin.

His nemesis was Michael Jordan.

Right.

They were like the same era of basketball.

So now like Scottie Pippen's wife is dating his nemesis's son.

Honestly, good for her.

Men do that all the time.

100%.

You're so right.

You're so right.

And if it was a 48-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, I wouldn't even think about the age.

Me neither.

No, you're right.

Women are just more mature than men.

So it's a lot.

100%.

Like a 32-year-old woman is like a 38-year-old woman, you know?

Yes.

When you think about maturity to men.

Yes.

No, you're so right.

Not me being biased.

Again.

It happens.

But I'm really, you know, I love Larsa and I just want love for her.

And I'm glad she feels like good enough in her relationship to share it with us.

Hopefully she'll share it on the show.

Yes.

What more could you ask for?

Okay, that's cute.

You know what?

Now that we've talked it through, I feel good about it.

Yeah.

And I feel like larsa's very particular you know like i feel like if she was your friend and you set her up on a blind date like she would hate everyone

agreed and like she doesn't just bring a lot of people around her kids like she she's very particular about that yeah and i think she's just very protective because she's lived like a very big life yeah and she's not just like someone who has like people around so no and it's probably nice to be with someone who understands a life that big, arguably a bigger life than Jordan.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of common ground.

Yeah, so it's nice.

It's nice.

Okay, I'm glad that she wasn't taking a swipe at Scotty.

No, at Scotty.

No, I knew it didn't sound right.

Very cool.

She's just supporting checks now because she's part of the Jordan family.

And honestly, I would not be surprised if Checks Over Stripes is like a popular song lyric right now from like a rap song.

I don't, I don't keep up with like rap lyrics.

I'm not, I'm a Taylor Swift encyclopedia and that's it.

But I feel like people are always using like new Drake songs as like their captchas.

Yeah, that's true.

Just an idea.

I feel like the article might have said that instead they explained explicitly how it it was anti-Adidas.

Oh, the article was just trying to start stuff.

Yeah,

it got me.

I fell for it.

Well, that's our show.

And it might be our first show in a year that's been under an hour, which is crazy.

Yeah.

No, the episodes are so long.

It's so crazy.

There's been a few that are like 58 minutes.

I was looking recently, and it was like last week we had like some 50 in the 50s.

But before that, not since November.

Like, can we ever shut it up?

No, we don't.

We don't even do TV recap.

What are we talking about?

Ourselves, which is why our episodes have been so good.

And we're unburdening ourselves.

Ourselves.

So that is our show.

Thank you guys so much for listening.

And what's so exciting is that by the next time you hear our voices, it'll be the middle of the week.

Like, we'll be almost done.

So just keep that in mind.
