Are you smiling at my gorgeous canyon view?

I'm smiling because I've got something I want to tell the whole world.

Well, do it.

Shout it out.

Whoa, I love that echo.

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the morning toast and happy Friday.

Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

It is Friday, and I am so excited to be joined by podcaster, influencer,

beauty, TNN sister, Lauren Elizabeth.

Hey, Lauren.

Hey, girly girl.

How you doing today?

How you doing?

How you doing?

I'm good.

I,

you know, our mutual producer texted me 1700 times reminding me what time zone I'm on.

So I am here.

And

that's no slight against you.

It's only because we've had so many guest co-hosts and the remote ones, like we always fuck up the time zones.

You just assume when you get an email, like it's going going to be in your time zone.

Yeah, I mean, like, I understand that, but at the same time, like, I actually never know time zones and she knows that as well.

So it's like a mutual understanding.

But I'm just like happy to be here.

I obviously saw you literally seven days ago.

So it's just kind of like weird that we're now recording together.

It's a lot, for sure.

Are you getting sick of me?

No, I'm not.

I honestly just like, it's weird recording on the podcast with you and not just watching you wash your hair in the bathtub.

I know.

Yeah.

That's what we do on FaceTime.

Yeah.

It's been a minute since you've been on the toast.

I don't think you've been on since LA week before the pandemic.

Well, I think there was one, I was thinking about it, but I was still living in West Hollywood.

So it was before I bought my house.

It was before I moved to Chicago.

And I think it was when it was my first merch drop with you guys, like for the podcast.

And it was you, me, and Jackie.

And I remember just being like so nervous.

I feel like I have imposter syndrome with the toast for some reason because I'm just like, I don't know.

It's because it's like this cult following and they're so passionate.

And like, I know that there's crossover, but for some reason, I realized this morning while I was getting ready, I was like, I have imposter syndrome.

I was like, why don't I just like be myself?

Be yourself.

You're the best.

We're just going to, you know, we're just going to, we're going to try to make this the best toast that I've ever been on.

It's going to be the best toast.

I want to catch up with you before we dive in because, like I said, it's been a minute since you have been on the toast.

You moved back to Chicago.

I sure did.

You're a Chicago gal, a Midwestern girly.

How is that going for you?

I mean, I love it.

If there's any Midwest girlies out there, it is just like, you get it.

Like, I, my, I was on therapy on Tuesday, like after I saw you in Chicago and everything.

And I was just like, I am having so much fun.

This is just the best city.

I'm so happy.

And I was like, I just don't want to have to go back to boring LA.

And she's like, stop saying LA is boring.

It's not boring.

And I'm sorry, but like it is.

And I asked my brother, I said, where would you rather go out?

LA or Chicago?

He was like, obviously Chicago.

It's just Chicago is the best.

I mean, you met the Chicago toasters.

Like, they turn up.

No, and every every time I go to Chicago, I really, like, could imagine myself living there.

It's such a great city, and it's so much better than New York in so many ways.

And I really enjoy it.

So, like, I totally get why you're having this, like, renaissance with Chicago.

Well, it's because we had this little thing called the Chicago Fire, and it's like the city burnt down.

And so, when we rebuilt it, we rebuilt it with alleyways, and that's where we put our trash.

So, what you need to do is you need to burn New York down to the ground and rebuild it with alleyways.

Yeah, and you guys also have those underground like highways, right?

Streets?

I mean, kind of.

Like, we have like some that go down.

We don't have any of that, but I just feel like that really helps with traffic.

Oh, oh, yeah.

I mean, I'm sorry.

Like, you know that I love you and I love the sisters, but I do like Chicago better than New York.

I'm sorry.

You know what?

I'm not going to argue with you there.

I think Chicago is really, really great.

And I'm so happy that you're having this like late in life.

Well, not late in life, but I mean, it is pretty late in life.

Like, how long were you in LA for?

A decade.

Yeah, it's a lot.

It's a lot.

And, like, I said on my YouTube channel, I'm being very open and honest about the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing with my life because I feel like a lot of times I pretend and I'm just kind of over-pretending.

And so, you know, this as well.

I kind of like have to go back to LA like after the summer.

And I'm still just like, I don't know how to feel about it.

I think at first I was really excited because of the weather.

And now I'm just like, I don't think I can do it.

So

everyone decide my life.

I was going to ask you like what your plan is, but I know that it's like a triggering topic for you because you most likely will end up back in LA.

My plan is that I have no plan.

I'm going to go back to LA, but if I'm miserable, like I think that what people don't realize is like you're allowed to change your mind and you're allowed to not know.

Like that's like straight up.

It's, I feel like, and then when you announce something on the internet, everyone like expects that it's like etched in stone.

And so now I'm just like, listen, I don't know.

I'm going to change my mind.

I don't care.

One second I hate LA, the next second I love it.

Like right now, I hate it and I don't want to go back.

So that might change in a few months.

We don't know.

I agree with you.

Normalize changing your mind.

Like it happens to all of us.

We're all human beings.

Like if we're going to unburden ourselves on the internet 24-7, you think we're not going to change our minds?

100%.

But I do agree with you.

Like that's something that I don't think a lot of people speak about when you share your life online.

There is this understanding that like when you make a decision and you announce it, like it...

That's it.

Like it's

and we're not even giving like the whole backstory of the decision.

You know what I mean?

And so it's like, I'm like, yeah, I shared the decision with you, but I also like didn't tell you like X, Y, and Z.

So now I've changed my mind and I have to kind of fill in.

You have to be understanding.

Just a lot.

But I'm just in this, like, I think the key to happiness is just like not caring.

And that's kind of what I'm doing.

Like, instead of getting stressed out, I'm like, I don't care.

Like, maybe I'll be miserable in a few months.

We'll figure it out.

I mean, I've known you for a long time, and I definitely think you're in like a very unique season of your life now.

It's weird.

Yeah, where like you're just kind of carefree.

Similar to Margo, Oshawa.

Yeah.

But a little bit more like Hot Mess Express version.

She's like, like she just got promoted.

Like she's like in her season of like peaking.

And I'm just peaking in a different way of like, I don't care.

I'm kind of a mess.

And I'll get my life together eventually.

Whereas like Margo's very much like,

I mean, someone's about to snatch her up, snatch up the snitch.

But there's no right way to do it, you know?

I guess.

I guess you're right.

Well, I love you and I'm so happy you're here.

And I can't wait to dive into the fast five.

I'm happy here.

And I just watched your most recent video.

I know.

I'm so excited.

Oh, you did?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, because you were like in it for a second.

Well, I was enjoying waiting for the footage of me and there was none.

Yeah.

Okay, so I forget to film horizontal a lot of times.

So I only had vertical.

I lost my voice from your show.

I only have vertical.

I only have vertical footage of you, but you're all over my TikTok.

Yes, I saw by the way.

I'm an absolute feral rat.

Can we talk about your TikTok?

Because it is so crazy how like every single one of your videos goes viral.

Okay.

Remember when it started though?

Remember you FaceTimed me like two months ago and you're like, bitch, you're going viral on TikTok.

And I was like, Yeah, I know what's going on.

And now, every time I post, like, my TikTok does really well.

And I don't know the secret sauce.

It's so crazy.

I think what you have, I think what I've learned is two things.

One, I used to be so hard on myself about like having my brand make sense on each platform.

And similarly, to I don't care, I'm like, TikTok is one thing, my podcast is another thing, my Instagram is another thing.

Because, like, what human being doesn't have multiple sides to their personality?

No, it's so true.

I just don't know.

shoe.

If you go to TikTok, I'm going to be a feral club rat.

Yeah.

No, I do think for a while, like, you were very militaristic about, like, what content goes on what platform.

And then when you kind of let yourself just go, like, your TikTok is so good.

And I was looking at it the other day because you posted a really cute TikTok that like really went viral of us in Chicago.

I was like, damn, every single one of this bitch's videos has like hundreds and thousands of views.

I mean, if only those numbers would transfer over.

You know what I mean?

Girl, I'm on the struggle bus with you as well when it comes to TikTok, but I just wanted to say I'm very proud and jealous of you.

Thank you.

All you have to do is use the viral songs.

That's literally all you have to do.

It's really not that simple, though.

It is.

I swear to God, that's all I do.

No, like somebody who works at TikTok put you in like a special basket of people.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then they

put me in a basket of degenerate rats who cannot get any engagement whatsoever.

Shut the fuck up.

No, I'm telling you, it's true.

No, your TikTok does well.

I watch it.

Sometimes I go to yours to see like what you're lip-syncing over to

see if there's something that I should do.

Oh, I swear to God, I have like three in my drafts just from like you.

The mental hospital one where it was like, I would check myself in mental hospital today.

But I have things to do.

But see, I also do the clickbait.

So like what I did, the caption was when I have to talk about my breakup online instead of going to therapy.

And then everyone was like, oh my God.

Well, let's talk about that.

You're a single girly now.

I know.

Isn't it amazing?

How are you doing?

Like single-wise?

You think you can get your heart broken once.

Let me tell you, it can happen twice.

And in a 12-month period.

Yeah.

So this one's a lot different because it was a little bit more amicable.

It wasn't as long of a relationship.

It was a little more situational.

I didn't go into like a deep, dark hole where I lost a lot of weight this time, which was like a little upsetting.

I was like, why do I still have my appetite?

Right.

Yeah, no, I'm obviously just kidding.

But yeah, it's good.

I mean, it was like a sad few months, but like being in Chicago this time and just being able to like lean on you guys in New York, my friends in Chicago, my family here, and just like literally say YOLO.

And I said on my vlog, whenever you say YOLO, it means you're about to make a bad decision.

100%.

And that's where we're at.

So I'm honestly fine, which is shocking information.

Yeah, but I'm happy for you.

And you know what?

Like, it is what it is.

Know that I am.

It's fine.

It's fine.

Like, everything happens for a reason.

So you might not know at this moment like why that happened, but in like a year, you will know exactly why.

Do you wonder what you said to me after the breakup?

Do you remember?

No.

I was dying.

We were on FaceTime and you go,

in my New York Times best-selling book, I don't know if you've read it, I said, and you just started quoting things from your book.

And I feel like as a bestie, that was some, you know, it was, it was good for me on FaceTime.

I'm never.

And then you started yelling at me on the phone.

I'm never not promoting my brand.

No, like literally me crying on FaceTime, you promoting your book.

And then I was like, I honestly am just like afraid that that I'm going to end up alone.

And you're like, you know what?

I'm not living in this fucking alternate universe.

Okay, you needed to hear that.

You needed to hear that.

I feel like I'm going to end up alone.

Lauren, you're 26.

You're 27 and three quarters, bitch.

Me too.

You're stunning.

Our birthdays are two days apart.

But what I was saying was like, it's totally okay to be sad about a breakup, but like it's not okay to then slip into delusional thought.

Like the idea of you ending up alone, like you are successful, you are funny, you are smart, you are kind, you are stunning, beautiful, stunning, and smart.

Like, there's just no possibility in the world that you are going to not be able to find someone.

So, like, that is where I drew the line with my sympathy.

That's where you needed tough love.

Yeah, like your voice.

First of all, for podcast listeners, I'm shaking my head.

I don't take compliments.

I don't listen to them.

They just go right over.

And then, secondly, I like your tone switched.

You just started yelling at me.

And then 20 seconds later, you hung up the phone.

Well, you needed to hear it.

I'm sorry.

Like, that's I'm that friend.

I just spent the rest of the day laughing.

Like, it was honestly amazing.

But good, good, good.

Yeah, I don't know what else.

I was going to say something else.

I took my Adderall before this.

So I'm just, I, I'm, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Well, I was going to ask you, because I was having this conversation with Joey Camas yesterday.

So if you're a regular Adderall user, you take it before, I'm like, not really clear on how Adderall works.

So

you take it before you work or after.

Why would I take it after?

I don't know.

So I can focus on watching TV.

Oh, well, like, yeah, sometimes.

Um, yeah.

So, uh, yeah, so I take it before I'm on like a really low dose.

When you had Craig Conover, or no, you didn't.

We're not talking about Conova, yeah, with Paige or whatever, and they were like talking about like taking Adderall and stuff.

And I was like, Okay, like, let's not shame me like this early in the morning.

But yeah, I take like a really low dose for work, but then like sometimes, like there's just, you know, sometimes push comes to shove, and you just like need it before going to girl with no job at the Chicago Theater.

Like, By the way, I wasn't shaming at all.

We were talking about reality stars who like

have a prescription.

Yeah, like I'm saying like Craig and Paige.

It's like, I'm happy for you.

I'm also obsessed with you.

I'm so happy with you.

I literally like, it's, it's a lot for me to handle.

If she moves to Charleston, I might move to Charleston.

Because my whole family's moving to Charleston.

I know.

I do know this.

I do.

So, Paige, if you're listening, if you could find me someone to date in Charleston, if you want a friend, I'm not opposed to that idea at all.

Yes, I could see you in Charleston.

I'm actually not a big thirst monster.

I really just want like a normal person that like doesn't have social media that just wants to impregnate me.

Like that's honestly all I want.

You know what?

That is so true.

You are really not like a thirst monster, which is really shocking since we're such good friends.

Well, I think it's like we're so similar, but then there's some stuff where like I just let you take the lead.

And like I, as someone who puts themselves online for a living, I hate attention.

I hate when people look at me.

I hate taking pictures.

Like, that's why I fucking started a podcast is so that I wouldn't have to like put my fit.

like I would just be able to, whatever.

And then all of a sudden, you're like, you should start taking videos of your podcast.

I'm like, Claudia, this is not what I signed up for.

Girl, I'm a businesswoman.

I know.

I mean, the entrepreneurial spirit at TNN is just hard.

We go hard.

But yeah, like I really, like, I'm a big hinge girly.

Like, I love going on hinge.

I love meeting the Midwest boys.

And I love when they're like, oh, like, what do you do?

And I'm like, oh, I work in like social media.

What do you do?

They're like, oh, I went to Notre Dame.

And I'm like, that's so hot.

Like, that is so hot.

A businessman both for Lauren Elizabeth.

Yeah, that's all.

Like, if I could literally quit doing what I'm doing and like, maybe just do my podcast and like TikTok, I would.

But like, I don't have a daddy to pay my rent.

You'll be there soon.

Thank you so much.

So then we should probably dive in.

I know, I know.

I'm like looking at the clock.

I'm like, we have a lot of ground to cover, but I appreciate it.

I appreciate you sharing, opening up about heartbreak, love, love lost.

And I love you.

Okay, Lauren, for our first story, like it's news I refuse to believe that is true, but like it was widely reported yesterday.

I know what you're going to say.

Pregnant Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have been hit with breakup and cheating rumors.

So rumors are swirling that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, who we all know are expecting their first child any day now, have broken up over cheating allegations.

But Page 6 is also told that the couple is still going strong.

They're fine, a source says.

It's not true.

Meanwhile, an eyewitness who saw Rihanna and Rocky on a date at Craig's in West Hollywood last week told us she looked fine, and when they walked out, they were fine.

It felt normal between them.

Page six also obtained footage of the pair holding hands as they exited the restaurant.

But the rumors started on Thursday when a writer, Louis Pisano, who interviewed magazine once called Instagram's messiest fashion influencer, claimed on Twitter that Rihanna and Asep Rocky had parted ways.

So he wrote, Rihanna and ASEP Rocky have split.

Rihanna broke up with him after she caught him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muadi.

Oh my God.

I love her.

Have you ever seen her?

Do you know what she looks like?

Gorgeous.

She's right here.

She's like, literally, the most stunning person on the planet.

So this, like, Instagram thirst monster also wrote, ASAP and Amina is not new, though, and she was seeing him years ago and also collaborated with him on a collection of shoes.

So, I mean, I hate to report news like that one person on social media created,

but it picked up fast.

Like,

within 30 minutes, I saw it on E.

So I did my investigative journalism, obviously.

And I went to her tagged photos and I went to her Instagram.

Who?

And Amina.

Is that what you said?

Big fan of her.

She's so stunning.

Her shoes are incredible.

She works.

She literally works for Fenty.

And so there was this.

Yeah, like she's one of their shoe designers.

Like, she is employed by Rihanna.

And so she, like, literally designs Fenty's shoes.

She designs her own shoes.

And then I go to her Instagram.

Her recent post is literally of Rihanna.

And it's on her story.

Literally, Rihanna just tagged ASAP Rocky as her baby bump on the vote cover.

And then I go to Amina's tagged photos and someone like put this like little like facts we know.

And it said that Amina got fired from Fenty.

And I don't think that's true.

Right, because she was just posting Rihanna.

12 hours ago as of last night.

Wait, that's such an interesting piece.

First of all, I'm learning so much from this story.

First of all, I didn't know that the woman he was rumored to have hooked up with was Amina Muadi, which just takes his story to like such fashion A-list moment.

How can you be that dumb though?

Like I know her right like you and i didn't know she worked for rihanna and that makes me think that this is even more untrue i just feel like

they apparently have been hooking up for a very long time but she's been working for fenty for also a very long time like how literally how dumb are you and like when did he have time to impregnate rihanna right and then go hook up with the person that's like literally creating her shoes and putting shoes on her feet and posting her on instagram i don't know i don't want to believe it i don't want to believe it and i really don't believe it either i love them together me too

And when this was just being reported as facts, I was like, damn, like all these powerful women like Rihanna,

J-Lo, Beyonce,

Chloe, Carlos.

I was like, no, none of the, like the most powerful, successful, rich, beautiful, stunning, smart women in the world.

Even they are getting like fucked around with fuckboys.

And I'm like, what the fuck?

That was my first thought.

It's so fucked up.

And it's like, you have a baby on the way.

Like, why is it always when the girl's pregnant?

Right.

Like the season of Real House House of New Jersey, Jennifer Aiden and Bill.

He cheated on her when she was like nine months pregnant with their fifth kid.

Yeah.

I can't get involved.

I don't know why.

Men are just like so disgusting.

And I'm not saying that this is true.

Right.

Because I don't think that it is.

I don't think that it is either.

But I feel like it might also, the only reason I think someone has to address it is because of the relationship potentially with Amina and Fenty and like all of them.

But at the same time, like it might be so stupid that they might not even address it.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess guess we'll know if this is true, if in the future Amina Muadi still works for Fenty, because it's entirely possible that Rihanna will take ASAP Rocky back and we could think like, oh, this was never real.

But there's no way that if it was real, she would keep that woman working for her.

So I guess it's like a billion dollar.

It's like a something like a crazy like deal too.

Like the

Fenty deal.

Yeah, that's what I read.

It's like a millions of dollars and it was like lost millions of dollar deal.

I can't speak English, but we'll see.

That is such just like an interesting piece of fashion news that I didn't know.

Yeah, it's like sometimes when you pretend to be a fashion girly, like you get the inside scoop as I stare at my fake Amina Zara knockoffs in the corner.

Straight up.

I mean, her shoes are really expensive and they're like super trendy, I think.

Literally just go to Zara.

I literally got them in hot pink and they look exactly the same.

I think they're stunning, but I don't know if I would ever buy a pair.

Yeah, no, I don't have that Morgan Stewart money.

Yeah, and I also like don't.

I'm a big fan of investing.

Like Jackie obviously has had her influence on me.

But when it comes to certain things, like shoes that literally touch the ground in New York, I'm not like crazy about spending money on shoes.

I'm a bad girly

for a second.

I was like, what shoes don't touch the ground?

And then I realized that was the point.

The point.

Like, like, right.

You're walking around New York, there's feces, there's rats, there's literal like diseases everywhere.

And I just spent a thousand dollars on a pair of shoes.

No, thanks.

Oh, yeah.

No, like, that's, I mean, in LA, I didn't have to worry about that.

Now in Chicago, I'm like, oh, well, you know, I just need to not care about these shoes anymore.

Just trashed.

I'm an Amazon girl now.

Right.

And, you know, traveling around this great country country on

tour, I think the only pair of, the only city I would buy shoes, really expensive shoes in is like if I lived in DC because it was extremely clean.

Interesting.

Nation's capital.

Tell me about it.

So I'm just going to go ahead and decide in my brain that this is not true.

100%.

Like why would I, why would I believe this?

Why would I believe this farce?

Some thirst monster.

Like it wasn't an actual report.

Like someone on social media saying something doesn't make it fact.

They described him as the messiest fashion.

Right.

So I think we all need to remember that sometimes.

Like, just because someone said it on the internet does not make it true.

Amen, sister.

Okay.

Including when I say something about myself.

Oh, that's true.

Right.

You're your own, you're your biggest enemy.

Andrews.

Where's that?

Moving on to a little royal news.

We have some positive news finally coming out.

Harry and Megan have finally reunited with the queen ever since the Prince Charles family feud.

So Harry and Megan have finally visited Queen Elizabeth II together for the first time in more than two years.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, I thought we weren't supposed to call them that anymore.

Yeah, go ahead.

I'm pretty sure.

Whatever.

They were reunited with the monarch just days before her 96th birthday.

They made a pit stop in the UK while on their way over to the Hague for the Invictus games.

I have no idea what that is.

And the 95-year-old queen met with them at her home, Windsor Castle, alongside Harry's father, Prince Charles.

The couple flew to London Heathrow's airport from their home in California, and they left their two kids, whom the queen has still never met in person at home.

So I was researching stories today, and it's so funny how like you'll get different like perspectives.

Because when you like, explain this to me.

So I saw this story on page six, and that's the one I just read from.

And then when I was going to the Daily Mail looking for other stories, they had like a royal expert saying that Megan and Harry are exploiting their relationship with the queen for their Netflix show.

Wait, are they doing a reality show?

I don't know what they're doing.

They have all these weird projects like they announced this big project with Spotify, this big project with Netflix, Disney Plus, and then we like never gotten any content from them.

So I'm not really like 100% sure what they do for a living.

You know what I think they should do though?

Because I watched the Kardashians Hulu last night.

And let me tell you, this is the best thing that they ever decided to do.

And I'm going to tell you why, though, because I listened to the podcast yesterday to see if you said this.

It is because there's no commercials and there's no coming up.

Like, that's it.

It is just like, you know, how like before like a commercial break on Bravo, they like basically, yeah, they basically show you everything.

And so I'm watching this and I'm like, why is this so good?

Like, obviously, it's the breaking of the fourth wall, like the way that they're shooting it, like the higher level production, everything like that.

But I feel like if we got Megan and Harry version of that, that could be really sick because the way they execute it, oh my God, the execution of production is just amazing.

No, you're right.

And like, when you think about that e-show, between the commercials, the coming up

previously on, next week, and then all the filler, like, you know, MJ and Scott doing a prank on Chris.

If the whole episode is an hour, I would say the substantial content is about three or four minutes.

Don't you feel like you...

Also, like, even though we obviously know everything about the Kardashians already, when you watched like the coming up on this season, I felt like there was so much stuff that I like needed to know and watch.

It was like a long trailer.

Yeah, I was just like, wait, I want to get the details.

Like, I'm 100% going to keep watching it.

I was absolutely shocked at how good it was.

Me too.

I thought it was incredible.

It made them even more likable than they already are, which is like insane.

And I feel like maybe Harry and Megan need to do something like that because, like, right now, like, I'm sorry.

I don't give a fuck about them.

I know.

I did like the Oprah interview, but that was a while ago.

Right.

No, I think like when they first left, there was all this intrigue and now it's definitely fizzled and they're just like, you know, regular rich socialites in America.

Like,

and they haven't, you're right.

But but I don't know if that's something they're doing intentionally.

Like, they really did want this normal life.

So maybe they don't need a TV show, but I don't know.

I can never tell if they're like so low-key or so thirsty.

Like, I just can't decide.

It has to be a mix because, like, also, you, like, grow up in a certain way, and like, you're, your level of what you think is normal is like what we think is thirsty, just because you were like raised that way.

But I feel like they're always going to be close with the queen.

I mean, especially, she's so old.

Like, I know.

It's his grandma.

He's always had a soft spot.

She's always had a soft spot.

It's just a matter of, like, I mean, God forbid, the day the queen leaves us,

what's going to happen in the family then?

That's going to be scary times.

It's going to be scary because then the man in charge is Prince Charles, who's like a moron.

I mean, I only know, I only refer to Prince Charles in my brain as like what I saw in the crown.

The crown, right.

Yeah.

Like, and I, I don't, I, I do not like you.

I do not like you one bit.

He's not like, you know, in order to lead a family, like you have to be extremely wise, extremely patient and mature and selfless and just especially any family, but especially a family like the royal family.

And Charles is the next one to be that.

And he is not any of those qualities.

He's just like, honestly, like

the scum of the earth.

Useless.

I'm sorry.

The scum of the earth.

Yeah, agree.

Yeah.

Like, I mean, I don't like mean it like passionately, but like, I just feel like it's like a good, you know, it describes him very well.

No, he's a bad guy.

Like, he's a bad guy.

Yeah.

I don't like him.

I'm happy that they're reuniting.

I'm just like so, I never know what to believe with the royal stuff because it's all just like reported so differently depending on the outlet yeah and it's like who's the royal expert like why are you a royal expert expert like i'm a royal expert i watch the crown yeah

i'm a royal expert i have instagram like i i i don't understand like is it coming from the inside is it coming from the outside i don't know i have no idea but i do um crave an inside look at Harry and Megan's house.

Like that definitely because they're the closest thing now that we have to royalty in America, except for the Karashians and the Peltz Beckhams.

But they really are.

I do not stand.

Oh, yeah.

I'm 100% not on board with them.

I know.

I know.

How do you not think that they're like not so all over each other all the time?

Nicola and Brooklyn?

Yeah, it's like, oh, my God, I love you, baby.

Let me get 7,500 tattoos of like your handwriting on my body and like tell everyone how much I love you every single day on social media.

Like get a life, bro.

The thing is, I'm new here.

Like I've never followed either of them on social media.

I've been following Nicola for a week.

I still don't follow Brooklyn.

Like, I'm very new here, so I don't see what you see.

I'm still fresh.

I'm naive.

I mean, like, listen, like, I follow Nicola too, because, like, I want to see what she's wearing.

Of course.

And I think she looked stunning, but, like, there's just, I honestly didn't think that they were going to get married.

Why not?

Just because they're so young.

I just, like, thought, like, it was going to be...

like a long engagement with like a really big pretty ring and then something would happen like Hollywood, right?

Hollywood.

Yeah, like, but they're married now.

And I guess they are kind of, I guess they're our royal family, too, and he's also British.

Oh, by the way, we were talking about you on the toast literally three days ago when we met Nicola.

Well, we said you would know because we, did she date Greg Salkin?

No.

Okay, so she didn't date Greg Salkin.

This is what happened.

She met, she was in the movie Transformers, and she, that movie was produced by my ex-boyfriend's dad.

And when he went to go visit Set,

he saw her and said, oh my God, that's the most beautiful girl in the world.

Keep in mind, still thought that our entire relationship.

By the way, she is pretty stunning.

Yeah, Yeah, no, I know, but like imagine like him still thinking she's the most beautiful girl in the world when you're in a relationship.

She's being next to him.

Yeah, and it's like sometimes like your personality like has to make up for like what you lack in other departments.

Anyway, so Cameron and Nicola dated, but I'm pretty sure that I'm don't quote me on this.

And Michelle, I'm sorry if this is wrong.

I think maybe Greg and Nicola canoodled, but the real relationship was Cameron, aka my ex-boyfriend, a.k.a.

your husband's friend.

Fuck you, Ben.

I'm just kidding.

That's like literally a joke.

Like everyone take a step back, take a joke.

And then she broke his heart and

she was spotted.

She was spotted leaving Craigs with Justin Bieber while her and Cameron were together and Cameron saw it on just Jared.

The tea.

Me and Jackie knew you would have the tea.

Thank you for sharing that with the toast.

I mean, I just feel like it's pertinent information and I'm far enough away from this and I don't live in LA anymore.

Right, right.

You hear things, man.

Oh my God, that is so fascinating.

Yeah, I don't know how we went from the queen to that.

Major shout out to Greg Sulkin.

I love him.

He's like literally the best.

Like he's so nice.

I remember calling him like hysterically crying after the breakup being like, make everyone leave me alone.

He's like, Lauren, Lauren, take a breath.

Lauren, take a breath.

Oh, my God.

You are out of control.

But all I was trying to say was that like I wouldn't mind an MTV crib style home tour for Harry and Megan.

I want to see their chicken coop.

Right.

Like there's just so much there.

Even though the chicken coop looked like kind of gross.

Okay.

Well, sorry, like, I want to be a farm girly.

Like, I just thought it was literally,

I love a bougie chicken coop.

Like, are you kidding me?

No, me too.

They were just like standing there with Oprah, and I was like, Claudia,

you wouldn't want a chicken coop.

Don't lie.

You know, I'm like, Oprah is like a queen.

Like, get her out of this farm.

She deserves better.

Okay, moving on to our next story, which is brought to you by Starbucks Baya Energy Drink, the new Starbucks Baya Energy Drink with caffeine naturally found in coffee fruit.

It's energy that's good.

It's a beverage that's crafted from caffeine naturally found in coffee fruit, as well as the antioxidant vitamin C.

Includes three delicious fruity flavors, mango guava, raspberry lime, and pineapple passion fruit.

Each 12-ounce 90-calorie can contains 160 milligrams of caffeine.

So personally, you guys know I'm like not really a coffee girl, but I happen to think that the mango guava, all the flavors are really good, but the mango guava is my favorite.

And I've been like struggling to find some sort of caffeine supplement because I don't drink coffee.

And I think the Starbucks Baya Energy drink is everything of the sort.

It's only 90 calories a can, and it's super refreshing, super energizing, and just delicious.

And I'm not like other girls when I drink it.

So the Starbucks Baya Energy drink is available online at grocery stores, convenience stores, and gas stations nationwide.

Again, each 12-ounce can has 90 calories and 160 milligrams of caffeine.

It is a refreshing

fruit-flavored boost of feel-good energy in a way that only Starbucks can deliver.

All right, next story.

Are you an Outer Banks girly, Lauren?

Oh, such a big Outer Banks girly.

Okay, so Chase Stokes is like yelling at his fans on social media.

And I saw it this morning.

I saw it this morning too.

I'm like, I get it.

Because I think fandoms,

yeah, like fandoms can be so toxic, especially ones that have like really young fans.

But I thought he was being like a major drama queen.

So he basically posted, you know, I'm not even going to read from you news.

I'll tell you exactly from his story.

He posted on his story, like a selfie of him and a woman.

The woman was his sister.

It said, she surprised me, love you at Riley Walk.

Then he posted another, you know, black screen white text.

The fact that I can't post a picture with my baby sister without death threats is fucking absurd.

Get a grip.

Family always comes first.

And at the end of the day, if you don't know my sister and have the audacity to send me horrific messages, then just go ahead and click on follow.

I will forever be a person who always puts family first.

With that being said, and with that dumb shit, I'm out.

See you when I see you.

Chase.

so i definitely think like outer banks is really toxic like i've seen like a lot of stuff from like social media posts like attacking all the cast it definitely is annoying but um this like attacking all of the casts yeah like just the girl like there's just like a lot of toxicity within the fandom fandom okay see i did not know this because that's

the fandom right and this is like not the first time he's been like you know fuck off yeah so i just don't know if this is like a hill worth dying on

well see, I think I was confused because didn't you see a few weeks ago where it kind of seems like him and Madeline got back together?

It was confusing.

And then she was like with Ross Butler and Zach Bea.

It was very confusing.

Yeah, but then, so, like, after Ross Butler and after Zach Bea, there was a moment where I was like, I think they're back together.

Yeah.

And I wasn't sure.

And then that kind of fizzled out.

And when I saw this, I'm not even like a huge like super, super fan, but I just, I, I didn't even click on the tag that he tagged because I just like for some reason automatically assumed it was his sister.

Yeah.

And then I got to that slide and I was like, okay, so

calm down.

I yeah, like I feel like like step one is like take a step back, like maybe like look inward for a moment in time.

And it's just, yeah,

you're not, you think that people are that smart that they're going to like click on it and realize it's your sister and then like not send you a stupid message.

Like you've been doing this for a while now.

You know, I could just never be one of those people who's like, unfollow me.

Like, no, please don't unfollow me.

Like you literally keep sending me death threat like literally keep sending me death threat i need more followers i need highlights

like my promo code and then kill me like

a hundred percent i just think that like he is so hot but he is clearly like so sensitive yeah and I feel as though like I can help him with that.

I can see you guys being like a cute couple, even though like after he broke up with Madeline, there were all these videos of him like blacked out in the back of like bars, like being wasted.

Maybe it was going through a dark time.

It was like really unattractive.

Yeah, I mean, like, can't relate to that.

Like, we weren't as

picture of elegance.

Yes, we were at the club last weekend with our sipping tea.

Sipping tea like the queen.

Yeah, yeah, no, I just feel like he doesn't like understand fame completely because all those kids really got like kind of plucked from like a slight obscurity.

Yeah.

Like they were all like, I've, you know, I've done my homework and stuff, but I just feel like he just kind of needs to, to, I just think, maybe have some like healthy boundaries with social media because, like, his star needs to keep rising and he needs to like stop being such a drama queen.

And yelling at your fans, like, every other week is not the way to just be like, it's my sister, freaks.

Yeah, like, don't go into like a long paragraph as if it's like this, like, family first, family over everything.

Like, thank you for bringing that up.

But, like, thank you for bringing that up because

I don't really understand like family.

I mean, I'm family over everything is literally like my core value, but I don't understand how it's applicable to a situation.

Like,

that's what I'm saying.

What?

What, like, what is the con like, no, I've literally

like when it, when the hate involves my sister, then it's family over everything.

Perhaps.

Okay.

Perhaps,

but also

calm down.

Yeah, no, this was like a gross overreaction.

Yeah, just like literally, you could have done like two lines, like, even post like a funny picture with your sister being like, oh my god, you guys, like, calm down.

It's my sister.

Like, bye.

Yeah.

But instead, he's so scrap.

Right.

No, when you, when you whip out the black screen white text, like, you're in trouble.

Yeah, you're like, dear diary.

They're late.

So the next story is something we actually, it's like an update to a story we never reported it on last week.

Hillary Baldwin is pregnant again.

Oh, yeah.

And normally.

Why, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel today.

Well, normally, well, it is a Friday, which means like there's no stories.

And normally, like, I don't care to talk about this fraudulent American queen.

But Alec Baldwin is finally responding to people asking him why he's having so many children because I think they're on their seventh or their eighth.

And it's like, I'm all for big families.

Like I said, family over everything.

But

it's a lot.

It's just a lot of children.

And no matter how much money you have, like, it's still a lot.

So I wanted to get down to the bottom of it.

Alec Baldwin finally clarified why he and his wife Hilaria, sorry.

Hillary, keep on popping out kids.

And it's because they love it.

The 30 Rack alum posted a video to Instagram Thursday of his daughter, Maria Luisa.

Oh man, them like naming their kids like Latin-inspired names, like the fraud knows no bounds.

Maria Lucia.

So he wrote, People ask why.

This is why being a parent is the ultimate journey.

So they already are.

So they're on their seventh kid, seventh pregnancy, seventh kid.

Yeah, so if it's the ultimate journey, what's the destination?

100%.

100 like what are we shooting for like 10 i don't know and it's just

i the the hate i have in my heart for these two is really bad

it's bad it's bad but may i ask though i don't want to age shame or mama shame jackie or anything like but how old is she like it like

that fertile like she's popping them out no i mean i only say this because i get nervous about you of course that's all like She's 30.

I mean, I wish I could.

Oh, my God.

She's so young.

No, I know that.

She is definitely like the picture of fertility health.

It's like not

normal to like get pregnant that frequently and what appears to be very easily.

It's just a lot of kids.

Oh, and by the way, it doesn't matter how much money you have.

That's not even to mention the kids Alec Baldwin has from previous marriages, Ireland.

Oh, so maybe he is at 10 now.

Okay, let's say.

I don't know any other

Alec Baldwin kids.

I don't know the other kids besides Ireland because she's like the most famous.

Imagine how much money you have to make to support seven to ten children.

Right.

That

is just, I, I, like, I wouldn't want to know unless I was Kylie Jenner.

Right, no.

And like, of course, Alec Baldwin wants the best for his kids, private schools, you know, tutors.

It's literally a million dollars a year per kid.

I mean, hilaria definitely wants the best for her children.

She did, oh my God.

Did you watch Bad Vegan on Netflix?

Do you know that I started it and I didn't really understand the hype, but I thought the Alec Baldwin of it all was incredibly bizarre.

It was very interesting and bizarre.

And the way she was talking about it, when she

set them up.

Yeah, and she was like, I could have ended up with him, but I set him up with hilaria anyway.

And I'm just like, wow, you gave her a platform.

Bad Vegan wasn't overhyped.

It was really good.

Like, I did end up falling asleep, but I think it was because I was like a little bit.

It was so good.

I ended up falling asleep.

You know, like, I don't, like, sometimes it's just like something so good.

It just, like, puts you to bed.

Like, yeah, like, so relaxing.

So relaxing.

nothing like fraud is so relaxing

it was so spooky i fell asleep

but no it was really good and like alec baldwin like the fact that they were screenshotting his tweets too and it was like oh my god i love at cure food and wine and like i go there to see this woman like oh my god so embarrassing and you know

me and jackie are always talking about that how like these random documentaries always have like a weird celebrity element to them yeah like the we work documentary, Gwyneth Poucher was in there because she was like cousins with the girl.

Have you watched, wait, did you watch the Hulu thing, but have you started the Apple TV thing?

No, I have not.

It's so good.

And I'm like loving Anne Hathaway these days.

She is so good in it.

He is so good in it.

I literally was shocked because...

I did not, I thought it was just going to be okay or just good, but I was like, wow, this is actually amazing.

I heard you talk about the dropout.

I was like, oh, this guy.

Jared Leto.

Okay.

Who I'm not like a huge fan of in general because he's like a method actor and kind of like a little freaky.

He just like gives me like the highest of the high LA vibes where I'm like

spooky.

Yeah.

But she, oh my God, is amazing in it.

And

it just like, it really feels like, wow, these two people were freaks.

Like I forgot how big of freaks they were.

Like the biggest loser energy on the planet.

Like Adam Newman.

Rebecca Paltro Newman.

Rebecca, yeah.

Loses.

Poor Gwyneth.

So embarrassing.

I feel like there is, there just needs to be a club of like Alec Baldwin, Adam Newman.

Ashton Kutcher was in the

We Work

documentary as well.

He did this like interview.

It was so embarrassing.

Well, because he believed in Adam Newman at the time.

I have like a really soft spot for Adam Kutcher or Adam.

Aston Kutcher right now because I have you watched What Happens in Vegas lately with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz?

I haven't seen it in years, but I know it.

Okay, so like, if you want to give it a rewatch, like maybe if when you're like a little like hungover in the morning, like, oof, like, I just, I love him.

He's so hot.

But I thought you were going to say that he's a soft spot in your heart because him and his wife, who's Ukrainian, are doing like amazing work for Ukraine.

Oh, I mean, obviously that too, but like, I'm not like other girls.

No, no, no.

I'm not like other girls.

I'm not going to give you the obvious answer.

I'm going to take you down memory lane, baby.

Back it up.

So it is time for our fifth and final story, Lauren.

Of course.

So

I don't want to know us by by anyone?

It is, but I want to know if you want to sing the song.

I'd rather fucking die.

Okay, I'll sing the.

It's the

no, no, you do it.

Okay, let me know.

I'll do the ad.

No.

I'll do the ad.

Put yourself on mute, practice.

No.

This is what we do at the Morning Toast.

Okay, Gorian, how are you feeling?

I mean, it's just like, here's the thing.

You know, I lost my voice last week and

I have nodes.

Nodes.

Nodes.

Yeah, that's very serious.

Yeah, it's like a serious condition.

I'm going to let you take it.

But I'd love to add to it.

It's a final storyline, Elizabeth.

Thank you so much for coming on the morning toast.

Woo!

All right, so

terrible news for people who aren't me.

Peloton is increasing its subscription fees starting June 1st.

So they announced today that they are increasing the price of the subscription fees in the U.S.

and Canada starting on June 1st.

How much?

The cost of the company's all-access plan is increasing from $39 to $44.

Is that a monthly thing you pay?

I believe so.

And in Canada, it's going from $49 to $55.

So Peloton notes that this is the first time they've increased their subscription fees, and the cost of the digital-only plan will remain at $12.99.

Hmm.

The thing is...

Didn't the stock go down or something?

Like, are they?

They're always having problems.

But the thing is, I'm actually surprised we're not seeing more like prices go up because with inflation, like inherently, our, I believe, do not quote me on this.

I'm not an economics girl, but your dollar is worth less.

Like, me and Jackie were saying, like, technically, yeah, every couple of years, like, our Patreon should be increased in value

of inflation.

Yeah.

And while that is true, I think the same goes for like other services.

Well, I'm, I saw on, like, even at like the nail salon and stuff like in the new year, not the new year, I guess just a few months ago or whatever, everything went up just like a couple dollars because it does like cover it for them too.

But that's also a COVID thing because nail salon.

Yeah, yeah.

Like when I, when I went up even more, when I went back to my nail salon for the first time post-COVID, a gel manicure was $50.

Oh, shit.

But that nail salon has since gone out of business, which is so sad.

But like, there's no winning because you either have to charge insane prices, but no one's going to pay that.

But I don't know if Peloton's going out of business necessarily i don't know i think to make people pay for

a month or whatever it is um when they also bought a three thousand dollar bike is insane but one

workout class at like soul cycle or rumble boxing or something is like 25 30

yeah but a walk on the elliptical is free like i can't right but like you have to get the elliptical from somewhere that's either a gym membership or an overpriced apartment complex right right no i hear That's why I walk outside just because I have a gym here.

But oxygen is free.

Oxygen is free.

But no, I mean, I think if you're like a Peloton girly, you just like love Peloton and maybe you can just live with this.

That's the thing.

No, it's like a cult.

So they're, yeah.

Obviously, I don't think people are going to be happy.

Like Jackie loves her Peloton.

I'm sure she's not thrilled that the price is going up.

But I think that if you love it so much and it's like a huge part of your life, like you're just going to.

pay it's the same way that like we hate that netflix is raising their costs for the subscription but none of of us are going to cancel.

Well, that's it, yeah, exactly.

The chokehold they have us in.

Oh, like, you think I'm canceling my Netflix subscription?

My Hulu subscription has gone off, gone up, I think, 75 times in the past two years.

And every time I'm like, oh, well, darn.

But

what am I going to do?

Like, there's this certain aspect where, like, I'm all for enacting change and being on the forefront, getting on the front lines.

You're a change maker.

I'm a change maker.

I'm a peace practicer.

But there are so many things where I'm just like, this is the world we live in, and I'm just going to keep it.

Accept it.

Yeah, like I love accepting the things I cannot change.

And one of the things we cannot change is Netflix, Peloton, Hulu, HBO Max increasing their subscription.

And you know what?

In this day and age, I think it's something we're going to have to get used to because that is literally, I think, the definition of inflation, right?

Well, yeah, but

the only thing that I'm just going to expose myself for being a fucking Mormon.

Same, I took ESO in college, but that's it.

Go to college, so good on you.

But the only thing I don't get is if everything's increasing, wouldn't that mean it's like

if $2 increases to four and one increases to two, isn't it like the same ratio, though?

Oh, I know.

It's we're not getting paid more.

Right.

So our cost of living goes up while what we're getting paid technically is going down.

Got it.

See, sometimes you just have to work it out.

Work through it.

Someone is screaming in their car right now.

I know I'm going to get an email like, hi, I'm a financial analyst.

I would love to come on the toast and explain inflation.

And honestly, I really feel like when it comes to economics, the less you know, the better, because I need to sleep at night.

And knowing that like,

like, I just heard someone say, like, if you're not investing your money right now, you're losing money because of inflation.

So the value of.

Let's say you have $1,000 in savings, the value of that is going down because the value of the dollar is going down.

So if you're not investing it and like making money, and that gave me such bad anxiety.

So I just want to know less.

Yeah, no, I think like an important thing to note is that like I'm not saying ignorance is bliss because like I'm rolling in cash.

I'm saying ignorance is bliss is because if I think about it, my anxiety is so crippling, I can't do anything.

So

exactly what you're saying, I just want to like be clear that I'm not, I don't have this financial situation under control

at all.

Like literally, majority of things on my body are from Amazon.

Right.

So, which which is fine.

Jeff Bezos is, I'm sure, doing fine.

Daddy.

But, you know, I actually was considering getting, not getting a Peloton.

There's Peloton in my building.

And all it takes for me being single is really one guy being like, you should try a Peloton.

And I'm like, oh my God, like, let me try it.

Cause like, let me just purchase.

Let me just purchase one because then, like, maybe you'll like me.

So I have been thinking about it just so that I can like tell the guy that I was like, oh, like, I was on the Peloton.

Oh, sorry.

I couldn't answer the text.

I was Peloton.

It's so crazy.

I was on the Peloton.

Do you know what I'm doing next weekend, by the way, before we go?

Because I just want people to understand that they should really take dating advice from me.

I'm going to Miami with a hinge boy.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Straight up.

Is he paying for it?

Okay, so like...

I'm not like other girls.

And like, I don't want to look like that girl that is using someone for something.

So I'm going to obviously make him pay for everything once we're there in a sense of like, yeah, like pay for my drinks, like pay for my food.

Have you been at that scene before?

Yeah, we've been on like quite a few days

oh

we're not exclusive though like we're not exclusive like we're quote unquote just having fun

and um he was like i want to go somewhere and i was like i want to go somewhere and he's like let's go to miami i was like okay because i am literally young wild and free flying together like you meeting him there no we're flying together dorne that's crazy i know i'm out of control i just want to inspire everyone just be safe and like send me your location

oh my god obviously i'll send send you my location.

Like maybe I'll get on the Peloton before I go.

I mean, I'm going to Miami.

Like,

I just think that

with inflation, now is the time to get on the dating apps, get on the Peloton.

I agree.

And get everything in order because we don't know what's going to happen next.

It's all inflation.

I wouldn't be going on dates and going to Miami if it wasn't for fucking location.

Yeah.

Like, making sense.

That makes total sense.

I really do.

I'm sorry.

I also don't know.

I also want to apologize for going on so many tangents this whole podcast.

Oh, we love it.

But it's hard when it's like, you're my actual friend, and I forget that we're recording a show.

Me too.

But with that, I will bid everyone adieu.

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend for all of our Jewish listeners.

Chag Samayach, happy Passover.

Lauren, you are a queen.

Everyone, make sure to listen to Lauren's podcast, Mood with Lauren Elizabeth.

Oh, also, I wanted to ask you, you've been having like fire fucking A-list guests on your podcast, and I want to know how Karama was.

Oh my God, he was amazing.

He literally gave like the best advice, especially I was about to say, you know, when TikTok comes in your head, I was like, the best advice for women in business.

No, the best advice for dating.

It feels like no one wants to hook up with me anymore.

It's just like, get your fucking ass up and hook up with me.

So he gave incredible, incredible dating advice.

He is so wise.

He has a metaphor for absolutely everything.

Then we had Josh Peck on, who was also on the toast.

And

he also just gave like such great advice for like dark times.

Honestly, we've had some really, really, really good guests

that are just so inspiring that literally make me just so glad, like, just so grateful that I get to talk to them.

So So it's definitely a different version of me over on that podcast.

For sure.

You're a little unhinged today, which I like.

Well, there's a different girl for different things.

I think I can do your outro, by the way.

Okay, I'll let you do it, but you're unhinged on hinge.

Okay, do the outro.
