Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Tuesday.

Hope everyone had a great Monday.

We are now over the Monday Blues and it's a beautiful Tuesday.

Another unseasonably so warm, uncomfortably warm day here in New York, and it's got to stop.

Even in this just light sweater, no jacket, I'm sweating.

It is really so warm.

I should have worn a t-shirt, but that just feels wrong.

No, I'm dressing for the day.

It's November

10th.

I'm not dressing for the weather.

I'm dressing for, I'm dressing how people dress in November.

I know.

Well, I switched it up to flats instead of boots to like take off a little bit of, show a little skin for you guys.

I mean, I'm fucking sweating in my big ass turtleneck from ASOS.

It's like so cheap and itchy.

Like I'm literally about to crawl out of my skin, but I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I think it's gonna rain this week, which now that I'm a dog mom like I'm really looking forward to the rain because it washes away all the duty in the streets oh my god you are so wrong no no no I mean I know that like it'll be annoying to take him out I'll have to like go to scaffolded areas or he'll go in the on the wee wee mat in my house but there's like the streets need to be cleaned and the rain will wash it all away first of all that's like not how it works I feel like the rain makes everything dirtier because then like the trash is just like wet trash sitting on the street and then when you have when you have a dog and it rains in the city first of all the dogs never go to the bathroom outside they like like can't figure it out.

They like lick the rain.

And then they get, every time you go out for just like an average pee, it should take five seconds, takes 30 minutes, and they come back soaking wet.

It's the most annoying thing.

Me and Margaret were just having this conversation.

When it rains, it's so annoying to have a dog.

Yeah, no, I understand that part, but I'm just, I think it will clean the parts of the street.

that bother me.

I actually don't have a lot of like trash on my block, but like there's other dogs pee and stuff like that.

So just a clean slate.

Tabula Rasa.

We have a great show for you guys today.

I watched so much TV last night.

Like, it was...

What did you watch?

There was nothing on.

Okay, so I watched The Undoing.

Okay.

Which is only three episodes in on HBO Max.

Excellent.

You will love it.

Nicole Kidman is a redhead.

And it's just not what you expect.

I don't want to tell you what it's about because I didn't know what it was about.

And it was just shocking.

But should I wait till there's more episodes?

No, because like the whole world is watching.

So you want to watch it with the world.

Really?

I did that with McMillions and like I was annoyed that I had to then wait.

Oh, I did not know that the world was watching McMillions.

I don't, I don't know.

I think more of the world is watching The University of England.

Is it a limited series?

I don't know.

I just know it's an HBO show.

It's giving me major big little lies vibes.

And over the weekend, the people that I was with, like everyone was talking about it.

It's only three episodes in and it's so good.

Ooh, that's tough.

I just love like to watch my mini-series all together, just have a little snack like Chernobyl.

If I had watched that like week to week, it wouldn't have had the same effect on me.

I'm usually not a proponent of week to week watching.

I think I can't believe there was once a time in our society where we watched everything week to week.

It's brutal, like it's truly savagery.

But I actually really like this show, and I don't mind waiting week to week.

It's like I haven't watched week to week something since Game of Thrones.

And you know, sometimes it's nice to change things up.

Well, last night I watched the week to week version of Filthy Rich because, like, I'm sure the last few episodes are still playing out, even though it was canceled.

If you don't follow us on Instagram, but you listen to the show, you know that yesterday we predicted because of our love for it, immense love, that it would be canceled.

And sure enough, it is canceled.

I don't, I know you don't feel as strongly about this as I do, but I feel like it's not too late.

Like, and you know why I have this feeling?

Because of A Place to Call Home, it was like supposed to end at the end of season two, but then there was a season three because there was so much fan love for it.

And I just feel like with the power of the toasters, it's not inconceivable that we could all like catch up, watch the next two episodes, and show them like there's a real audience for this show.

Yeah.

I mean, I love the hope.

I really do.

My only concern is that I don't, like, I wasn't necessarily surprised when it got canceled because I had not heard about it from anyone or anything.

Like, I just saw a commercial for it and it stuck in my mind as something I might want to watch.

I don't know besides us, like, if there is literally.

any other person who watches it.

Like when GCB got canceled, like I knew watching it.

Like Nashville, I'm like, I see it everywhere.

Like everyone's talking about it.

It made no sense.

This actually like makes a decent amount of sense.

Like I don't know anyone watching it.

No, to me, this falls in the same category as GCB.

And then Nashville was different, but Nashville found a home at CMT.

Like maybe it needs to find another home.

I just feel feel like, I agree with what you're saying, but I feel like everyone's always like, use your platform, use your platform.

Like, I want to use my platform to save filthy risks.

I think when people say use your platform, they're not talking about that.

But, like, I'm going to use it.

Thanks for telling me to use it.

Okay.

Also, another thing that I watched was Jeopardy, the first episode without Alex Trebek.

The producer, very handsome young thing, started out the show.

It's all pre-recorded, but he recorded like a little thing of himself, like just saying how, you know, the whole community and all the producers, the show runners, everything, they're devastated.

And Alex like loved the show so much and insisted on recording all the episodes up until two weeks ago.

And he got like a little choked up.

It was very sweet.

And then at the end of the episode, it was dedicated in memory to Alex Trebek.

So it was a little...

I feel weird watching things like posthumously.

Like it gives me like a little like ghosty vibe, but it was very sweet and it was nice to see him.

And I really felt like Alex Trebek was watching down on me because there in the first round was a category on podcasts.

What were the questions?

There was one about Bill Nye's podcast, one one about um it was really random i like not even joe rogan like it was bill nye has a podcast yeah they're like this science guy uses his podcast today's science or whatever it's called um it was super random i'm just like you know so such a narcissist like i'm like there's gonna be one about the toast like and i would have like actually died but like i need to relax and take several seats because that's like not was there any like proper

Like they didn't talk about Joe Rogan.

That's a miss.

Was there, were there any rightful questions like about podcasts that actually are popping?

Not that I remember.

I knew most of them, but it was like really random.

Oh, like Conan O'Brien, what's

late night host, and I knew it was Conan immediately.

I don't remember the other ones, but they weren't memorable.

Like, it was just not it.

But it was, it was, I felt it was Alex Trebeck connecting with me.

Oh, for sure.

That's beautiful.

And then the other thing I watched was Dancing with the Stars.

How many people are left?

A million.

Okay.

I couldn't believe how many people were left.

Because it's feeling from like the social media viewership, it's feeling like there's three people left.

I think maybe now there's five.

Okay.

Nive, Caitlin Bristow, Justina Machado, Nellie, and Skye.

Skye.

Did I say Caitlin?

Yeah.

Okay, so five.

And then AJ McLean went home last night.

Okay.

So I just feel like we've been talking about it a lot.

And I really haven't watched that much since the beginning of the season.

So I wanted to like...

you know, see what was going on, check in.

And it's just honestly, like, it's so insufferable.

Like, there is absolutely no world where Caitlin is not the best dancer on the show.

Like, she's just immaculate.

And the scoring makes no sense.

I thought she got three tens.

No, for sure.

I'm saying for her.

But see, it reminds me, remember when you said when you guys judge the Redheads book, you judge them within themselves, not compared to other books.

Yep.

So it's like Nelly, who is so sweet and such a PJOM, but just like doesn't have the chops to dance, he got an eight.

He averaged an eight and like Caitlin got a 10 and like in no world were those two dances even remotely comparable, but it's like they're judging Nelly against himself because he's getting better.

You got an eight for him.

Yeah, and so it just like the scoring makes no sense and I actually think Derek Huff is a very good judge and he's only there because Len, because of COVID, lives in London, can't travel.

I actually think like he's worth

he needs to stay because the judging is just so archaic.

Tyra Banks is actually getting a lot better.

And I think that she could have a real future as the Dancing with the Stars permanent co-host.

So I'm glad for her for that.

I think it's all good and well and other than that the show was just like a little too much for me like it's so um so many commercials and so many like pre-packaged uh packages all right we're gonna take a pause there's some construction going on one second

we need to find out what time their lunch break is yeah and then record and then record at that time because that is just not gonna work and it sounds like you know they've got a big project going on and

it's going to be ongoing and so that's just not going to work like construction in my ear And those are the four things, three things that I watched last night.

Did you watch anything besides Filthy Ridge?

No, I was very busy with Little Bruno last night.

I did a Peloton ride, which you would have thought nothing to report home, but I hit a per my personal, I beat my personal record, which I haven't done since August, like when I was like...

stronger and it just made me feel really good because I was like feeling really weak for a while and then I don't know what happened last night I used one of my daily mixes on Spotify the songs were popping get away car fly with me and I was just transported and I hit a PR 246 output in 30 minute ride if you're a Pelletoaster you know what that means to me yeah I definitely don't work out a lot but I do know that like a playlist can change the world when when it comes to working out you know one time I've only taken a handful of soul cycle classes and one time I took this random class where she played honey I'm good by Andy Grammar and like I wouldn't consider that like a workout song but something with like how the rhythm when you tap your pedals and it really just like sent me into another universe yeah so I'm feeling good about that we have actually some Peloton news today so Pelotoasters perk up it's some good news.

And other than that, yeah, it was just, you know, a run-of-the-mill day.

Got a lot of stuff done.

I cultivated a vibe in the living room again.

And I have to say, ever since I've stopped spending, you know, 23 out of 24 hours a day in my bed, I'm sleeping much better because there's something about like getting into bed at 11 o'clock as opposed to like getting back into bed at 11 o'clock.

You know, when you've been hanging out there all day.

Well, actually, thanks to Bruno, I'm spending a lot of time in my living room.

And I love it.

And I don't hit the bed until it's time.

Time for bed.

Which is weird and a new sensation.

No, and I kind of like it.

Yeah.

It's quite enjoyable.

Yeah, my couch is a nice place to be.

Yeah, at first, it didn't feel warm to me because I've literally lived in my apartment for two years and not spent more than 10 minutes at a time in my living room.

But now that I'm like cultivating vibes, spending more time, you know, getting to know the place, it's really, it's a, it's becoming a place I could see myself in, you know?

Yeah.

Also, something that I did that happened yesterday that changed my day.

And now I remember what I was doing all day.

I was just enjoying the love of Bruno because he had his first grooming session with Theo's groomer, styled by Allie.

And She's a star.

She's amazing.

He literally was just like a ball of delicious sweetness.

And I was just enjoying how good he smelled and how clean he was.

Yes, I literally, there's nothing better than the day after Allie comes and Theo's just like walking around looking like a prince and smelling like an absolute, sometimes he smells like, I don't know, like a movie star, like so rich and delicious.

Like a movie star.

He was wearing Proverbs 31.

Yeah, literally.

By Kim Contrelle.

Totally.

So that was a really nice part of my day.

And also, I wanted to say, yes, we had a really busy day because we were recording some stuff after the show.

And we recorded an interview with Lauren Elizabeth because her new clothing line, Lauren Elizabeth Collection, drops today.

So if you're listening to the podcast, the interview will be at the end of this episode.

It's so fun.

She's a podcasting queen.

If you haven't listened to Mood, you're missing out.

If you're watching this on YouTube, the interview is only available as podcasts.

So head over there because she also gives out a special code for her Lauren Elizabeth collection drop, which she dropped the cutest.

It's today.

Honestly, I don't know.

Maybe everything is sold out, but she dropped the cutest collection of loungewear, like very chic, beautiful.

You could wear it out.

The code will tell you.

We'll spoil it for you, just in case you want to head over now.

Love it.

Okay, let's start with like the big news of the day.

Tea is being spilled by Larsa Pippen.

She's breaking her silence on her falling out with Kim Kardashian.

She's blaming Kanye West and Travis Scott.

Months after Kim and Larsa unfollowed each other on Instagram, fans of the Kardashian Jenner family are finally getting answers about their falling out.

The 46-year-old Real Housewives of Miami alum, Justice for Real Housewives of Miami,

who has been friends with Kim, Courtney, and Chloe for years, broke her silence on Hollywood Raw podcast on Monday, citing Kanye as the reason for their issues.

Do you smell that?

What?

Desperation.

That's what I fucking smell.

RDH.

No, it's like, this is fire.

We got to go.

She said, if Kanye feels like him and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me.

I'm okay with that.

I will survive.

I want everyone to be happy.

Fans noticed in July that Kim wasn't keeping up with Larsa on social media anymore.

At the time, Kim had said she wanted to reset her account to just her family and her childhood friends.

And that was something that I believed, and I really didn't think there was going to be this sort of rift with Larsa.

But Larsa Larsa says, I didn't feel any type of way.

I just felt like, do what's best for your family.

I love you.

You and I are best friends.

We've been through everything together.

I would never do anything to jeopardize our friendship.

We're like sisters.

We're family.

But if you have to unfollow me to make your home a better place, do it.

She said, he talks so much about me being this and that.

I'm assuming Kanye.

And this and that.

I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn't trust anyone with Kim.

She went on to slam Kanye several times, claiming that he's brainwashed his wife and her sisters.

When asked what she would say to the rapper if she saw him, Larsa said, I don't know.

Where's the love?

The funny thing is I love him.

I love all of them.

Nothing has happened where it's like, I'll never talk to them again.

I feel like people going through different things and people handle problems differently.

Yeah, I mean, there's so much to unpack here.

I feel like the two major takeaways for me from this interview were that she kind of blames the rift on Kanye.

And she like happened to mention that like she was actually seeing Tristan before Chloe and then like she flew Tristan out to LA and then like 10 days later he was dating Chloe and like she didn't even care because she doesn't want to date someone who doesn't want to date her.

That's what she said.

I don't know if I believe that, but the real shocking thing to me is now that she's gone on this podcast and like kind of aired the dirty laundry, like there's no going back.

Like you, you fight with friends, whatever.

Maybe you don't talk for a few months, but there's always the possibility of, you know, coming back together.

Especially in the way that she describes it, like she keeps saying she has so much love for them.

Like maybe, you know, they're at different places in their lives.

And the way that Larsa is right now is not someone that...

Kanye and Kim like want to be around at all.

Or just like drifting apart.

Yeah, but like people can also drift back together.

People cannot

go on on a podcast and air all of your dirty laundry.

So this makes it your best friend's husband is brainwashing her and her whole family.

So this makes it official.

Now it's like the Kardashians and Larsa will never be friends again.

And that's what I find so interesting because someone like Larsa, whose entire livelihood is really centered around being a Kardashian affiliate, I'm surprised that she would, it's not even like she's going on Joe Rogan.

Like she would go on a random podcast and just like spill the beans.

And I'm sure she's getting a lot of press for it, but that like fades super quickly.

And I'm really surprised that she would be so short-sighted.

Yeah.

And I'm not going to lie, from what I saw of Larsa on the show, I did really like her energy.

I thought she was really funny.

And I think that she kept like a lot of things light and fun and just was always down to have a good time.

And I, I'm going to miss her.

Not that we saw so much of her, just that fight with that girl, Sarah, where I just like couldn't.

It was so funny.

Like, the world is full of Larsas and Sarah's.

No, it's so, so, so, so true.

And I just like really liked her, but I also could see from what she's describing, the only only part of this that doesn't make sense to me is that she would take it to a podcast.

Because it's like, if she still can speak that, say that she has so much love for them and that nothing happened and, you know, it's just different now.

I don't know why you would like put the nail in the coffin on that friendship.

Yeah, no, it's bizarre, especially when the friendship is so much more than a friendship.

It's literally a livelihood.

Right.

And it's like a years-long friendship.

Right.

That's what's said.

It's like, honestly, say what you want about the Kardashians, but all the people that they surround themselves with are people who they have known for like 10 plus years.

Like loyalty is such an important thing to them.

And like they don't even care.

Like they don't, they don't want to be friends with you like because you're cool or whatever.

Like it's because you're a loyal friend and you've known them forever.

So like when this is like a Jordan Woods, like when we, when we break up with a friend of a very long time, it's sad and it's really shocking because the Kardashians are very loyal people.

Like everyone around them, Simon, Jonathan, like they've been around for years.

Yeah.

It's shocking.

I'm going to miss her.

I didn't realize it.

We were talking about it.

I just, I like.

Aside from that one episode, I feel as though I don't know what she brought brought to the table and I

don't care at all about her being gone.

I don't know.

I think that I think she was a good addition.

Like there's others I'd rather see go first.

Who?

I don't know.

But if I thought long

enough about it.

I feel like I don't know what she contributed aside from that one episode where I actually did like agree with her 100%.

I don't know she was ever really ever in the show otherwise.

But I just feel like just from like seeing her on Instagram and like what she's about, I just feel like she's a fun girl.

Yeah, but at at the same time, I feel like she's in a, even though it appears like she's at the same place in her life as like the other girls like with her kids, I feel like they're actually very different.

I feel like Larsa like likes to party and is like single and like on the proud.

And I don't think the other girls are like that.

For sure, but that's the exact thing that I'm talking about where it's like, this, okay, the single part, no, but like likes to party.

Like everyone needs that party friend in their life, but there does come a time when you graduate from the party friend.

And I feel like that's where we're at.

And I feel like for a while, Chloe was like kind of the last one still in the party phase.

And now it's like exclusively Kylie.

Yeah.

And Kylie's not hanging out with with Lartha.

And also, maybe it was really like quarantine.

You know, even if you were a party girl before quarantine, like things change.

You know what?

Party girls are forced to stay home.

Check on your local party girl because we are not doing okay, you guys.

Like, it's been a very hard time for us.

So, you know, if you're if your friend is like that girl, like check on her because she's fucking lonely.

It's isolating you guys.

Very depressing.

I can't imagine having gone into a quarantine in like the peak of my party girl days because I like graduated from Party Girl Academy

years before this happened, and I was really ready ready for, you know, a lot of things.

I mean, I wish I had Bruno Sweets at the beginning, but you know,

man plans.

God gets you a puppy eight months later.

But if you take anything away from this episode, it's check on your local party girl.

Yeah, she's suffering.

Your local town drunk, okay?

Because we're suffering.

Yeah, she's suffering.

Big time.

Okay, next story is a story I don't know if you've heard yet, but I'm really, really looking forward to getting your thoughts because I'm pretty sure if I know you well, it's a person that you don't like.

Oh, okay.

And there's nothing better than that.

I love that.

The Grinch musical is coming to NBC.

What do you mean?

If I sent you this story.

You did?

To post.

I mean, to talk about it.

Oh, I found it myself.

Of course, we need to talk about this because I hate this person.

Hey, I'm just going to tell you the deets and then Claudia's going to go off.

Love it.

Okay.

The Grinch musical is coming to NBC.

All is sounding really good until

with Matthew Morrison.

Boo!

Boo, boo, boo.

The Grinch is hitting the small screen.

NBC is bringing the classic Dr.

Seuss tale to life in a a new musical holiday special airing December 4th.

It will be a two-hour production titled Dr.

Seuss's The Grinch Musical from the Troubadour Wembley Park Theater in London, starring glee alum Matthew Morrison as the titular character.

Titular reminds me of Moira Rose.

Morrison has also been in The Good Wife and Grey's Anatomy, and he starred as J.M.

Barry in a 2015 Broadway production of Finding Neverland.

He also is Mr.

Shu in Glee, which is really the only thing that qualifies him for this role.

No, actually, in terms of qualifications, let me be totally fair and unbiased.

Gray's anatomy?

In terms of qualifications, he's definitely qualified.

100%.

His background, Glee, Broadway, like.

He's a triple threat.

It's not about, it's not about talent because I do think that he has it.

I'm saying they were citing other things that he's been in, like Gray's Anatomy, but that doesn't tell you why he's great for this part.

Glee shows you why he's like what.

They called him the Glee alum.

They did?

Oh, they did.

You read it.

Sorry.

So

this concept is sensational.

You know, a two-hour Grinch NBC musical.

Love the songs, the music of the music.

And I don't see the word live in here.

So I literally.

Totally good.

Totally good.

So that's great.

But I do think that we are entering dangerous territory when we start casting people like Matthew Morrison.

And here's why.

He played the somewhat iconic role of Will Schuster, the substitute teacher and glee teacher on the hit show Glee, where he was just consistently like very inappropriate with the children.

And it was all made to like seem okay and now when we like go back and watch some of the shit Mr.

Shu like did and said it's like so fucking weird and I hated Matthew Morrison like as the show was on I just like his something about like his curly hair and his butt chin like you want to know why because he reminds you of Justin Timmer like they're so similar it's a similar vibe that if you hate one you hate them all that is true That is very, very true.

And I think it was also like in the show, the kids were so supremely talented.

Like all of them were really really stars and yeah we were always listening to mr shoes sing and we're like bitch move the over like the kids are better than you at least for me that was the main problem and something about i can't put my finger on why matthew morrison like bothers me so much but it's not just me it's a whole society of people we're yes there's there there is a real group of people who really don't like matthew morrison no and we are we deserve to have our voices be heard and i feel like I want to give a voice to those people because we are not okay with this.

Like we are taking a perfectly good idea and we're ruining it.

Yeah.

Also, a new fun fact about Matthew Morrison is that he was engaged to Chris.

And now, this is the second time that, like, Chris has entered my mind in the fast five this morning because she also showed a home to Larsa.

Also, another thing.

And Dancing with the Stars.

Dancing with the Stars.

So they were out last week.

So

Chris wasn't on this episode, but Gleb was because the pros like stick around and clap, you know, for other people.

And it was weird to see him.

I feel like he felt awkward.

And I felt awkward, feeling awkward, feeling looking at him, feeling awkward, you know?

Yeah.

Some more of the cast, though, some good casting news.

Dennis O'Hare will co-star as Old Max.

Boo-boo Stewart, who is from Twilight Descendants and Julian the Phantoms is she in Twilight.

He was

one of

Jacob's

what?

Oh, what?

Yeah, the wolf.

Yeah.

And then he's also one of the main four in Descendants.

Got it.

And he's the best.

And he will be playing Young Max.

And Max is the dog.

There's a young Max.

And Amelia Minto, who's a new guy.

What's with this guy, Boo-Boo, constantly playing dogs?

First, he's a wolf.

That was a dog.

I don't know.

Amelia Minto will portray Cindy Luhu.

She's a newcomer, so maybe it'll be her big break.

Yeah, no, I mean, I don't know any of the people you just named, but I'm happy for them all.

And as long as it's good, like, I will be watching.

I will be watching.

I will.

I mean, I don't know if I'll actually watch it, but like, I'm going to plan to watch it.

Yeah, of course, no, but who knows where I'm going to be.

I might have laundry to do.

The Gringes, truly one of my favorite Christmas movies.

There's so many elements to it that make it such a success.

I mean, of course, Jim Carrey, like the best actor of all time.

Then there's Jenny Humphrey, who plays The Little Girl, which is just iconic, singing, Where Are You Christmas, written by Mariah Carrey.

Then added another layer, Molly Shannon is the mom.

And that scene where she's decorating her Christmas house, like trying to get it better than her neighbors, like is literally my favorite scene of all time.

And also, The Mayor is played by someone else whose name I can't remember, but it's just an iconic cast of people.

It is.

It's an amazing movie, and I really hope that they do it justice.

And I hope they never redo it.

Like, I like this version.

And maybe this could be the thing that turns you on Matthew Morrison.

No, I don't think so.

I appreciate

you're too far gone.

I'm too turned, but I really do appreciate the optimism and light you bring to this show, but not today.

Okay.

Maybe another time.

No, today.

I know that Theo is upset that he was passed on the role as a Max.

Yeah.

But you know what?

You can't have them all.

Look at him.

He's so down in the dumps.

He's down in the dumps.

But there's always next time, Theo.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Your time will come.

He's going to get the role of Toto.

For For sure.

Okay, some exciting.

And it's going to be TT.

Some exciting news for Pelotoasters.

Beyonce has a new collab with Peloton.

Beyonce and Peloton have teamed up on a multi-year deal that will bring a series of themed workouts paying homage to historically black colleges and universities, and the timing couldn't be better.

Playing off of Homecoming, her iconic Coachella concert film, Beyoncé's helped create cycling, running, strength, boot camp, yoga, and meditation classes with Peloton to commemorate the annual fall homecoming season at HBCUs.

The singer was already the most requested artist among the fitness company's 3.6 million members.

So the collab makes total sense.

Where can you request artists?

I have a lot of requests to make.

I've never seen a suggestion before.

You're going to request Matthew Morrison.

I'm going to request

Taylor Swift, honestly.

Honestly, for this partnership, I think is such a good idea.

And I always feel like whenever it's announced, like who Beyonce's partnering with, it just like makes so much sense.

I feel like the partnership's department at Beyoncé HQ like is just geniuses.

Like every time with the Ivy Park and then it was at Top Shop and then it's like a part of Adidas.

Like it's just everything she does is like really, really smart.

Really, really smart.

In addition, Beyonce and Peloton are gifting two-year digital memberships to students at 10 different HBCUs, which provide access to the fitness classes through the Peloton app that can be used with or without equipment.

So I think this is such a great partnership.

It's great for the brands and it's also this is something that really benefits the consumers because Beyonce themed rides are going to be amazing.

I used to do some Beyonce themed rides when I used to go to SoulCycle and there's just so many good motivating songs and I'm glad that her catalog is coming to Peloton.

I think the entire experience will benefit from it.

I agree.

I actually saw a funny TikTok of a girl who didn't want to pay like $3,000 for a Peloton.

So she brought her bike into her house and like set it up on this machine that like makes it stationary and then put the Peloton app on her TV and it honestly worked.

beautifully.

Yeah, that sounds good.

But then she just has like a bike in her living room.

Yeah.

A real bike.

That sounds like

a good idea.

But it's a a good idea, yeah.

Yeah.

Along with the big partnership coming during homecoming season, the timing is also good for the company in the stock market because Peloton was up with the queue and now it's down with announcement of vaccine, but now this is good for news for them again.

Yeah, I wonder if they were really impacted business-wise by the Soul Cycle bike.

I actually know a lot of people who have it.

Yeah, and I feel like now anyone who's seeking to get a bike is really on the fence.

And I feel like if the Soul Cycle bike had existed when I was

bike buying, I would have gotten the Soul Cycle bike.

100%.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Because Cycle has so many customers, and those customers bought Pelotons because Soul Cycle took a year too long to come out with a bike.

And it probably keeps them up at night because it's so dumb.

Not even a year too long, like four months too long.

The timing was just so bad.

Yeah, but I'm sure people are still buying.

Yeah, no, I'm sure it's successful, but it could have been huge.

Aces.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Aces.

Okay, next story, a follow-up from yesterday.

Who will replace Alex Trebek as the Jeopardy host?

Oh, sorry.

The other thing I wanted to say about watching Jeopardy that I totally forgot to mention is that in the first round, one of the categories was hosted by Ken Jennings.

So every time somebody chose from that category, they had a video of Ken Jennings reciting the clue, which just really made me think like he definitely is a contender.

That's what people are saying.

Apparently he has been like...

producing some of the show and they've really been like grooming him for the job but other names that are being thrown around are George Stephanopoulos I don't think that's gonna work because George Stephanopoulos does politics and I think that Jeopardy is like a universal show.

And they need someone who's like totally neutral.

Also,

at one point, Alex Schrebeck, he might have been joking, but he nominated fellow pop culture icon Betty White.

I think he was joking, but I would accept it.

Ken Jennings, who to me is looking like the front runner.

Yeah.

Alex Faust, who is the LA Kings hockey announcer.

Yes, I heard that.

Like Alex just really respected him and like thought he had a nice voice.

Yeah, I feel like...

That could work.

Like someone who just has like hosting chops who we don't know that well, who's going to make their mark at Jeopardy, not someone who's made their mark.

We know so much about them.

And

then they're going to bring all that to Jeopardy.

I do think it could be someone like that.

Also, CNN legal analyst Laura Coates was a name floated by Trebek.

And I think those were the six.

Yeah, those are the six in the mix.

I mean, they all sound like perfectly good options.

And I'm sure any of them would be like decent at the job.

But I do think that it's so much more than like being able to do the job.

It's just like what it means.

And I really think Ken Jennings is the guy.

And it would just be, it would be like a really, really beautiful

way to end the story if it went to Ken Jennings.

I agree.

And it's a great message.

It's like, not only if you're going to be the smartest and the best, like you will get, you will win the prizes and whatever, but like, you know,

you could, it could aspire to be even more.

And I feel like it also really encourages like people, makes being smart cool.

A hundred percent.

It makes it being smart can make you a celebrity.

Yeah.

And I feel like

famous for your smarts.

Yeah, no, I completely agree.

And I just think for a million reasons, of all the people you've named, Ken Jennings is like so clearly the right person for it.

And all he needs is like a couple, you know, classes on annunciation, hosting, reading off a teleprompter.

It's easy.

And people have said, I was concerned yesterday, but people have said that he is warmth and he can bring the warmth into the living room.

Well, so yesterday I was saying this category was all Ken Jennings reading the clue, and I feel like it was really like a trial run for him.

And he looked mad cute.

I did have some problem with his annunciation.

That was the beauty of Alex Trebek.

Trebek.

I think it was his Canadian accent.

Like, he just announced everything perfectly, like, in terms of pronouncing words that were, like, foreign or

hard to say.

That is a really

huge skill.

So, we'll see.

We will see, you guys, we'll see.

We shall see.

Okay.

See, we shall.

Fifth and final story.

Some happy news.

The viral dreams skateboarder

has gotten engaged.

Congrats on order for the Fleetwood Mac Dream skateboarder, Nathan Apodaka.

He popped the question to to his girlfriend and she said yes.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ that Nathan proposed to his girlfriend, Estella, on Saturday night in Las Vegas, dropping to one knee at the Nobu Hotel inside Caesar's Palace.

This is like the sweetest story.

And every time I hear an update on this guy who, if you don't know, he made a TikTok that went completely viral of him like riding down.

We've spoken about it on the toast.

Yeah.

Riding down, I think he lives in Phoenix.

like this beautiful highway the sun is setting he's drinking some ocean spray cranberry juice on his longboard and it just like people were really vibing to it and and listening to dreams by fleetwood max right and now they literally took that um tick tock and made a commercial for tick tock with it um it just blew up a million celebrities replicated it he's getting brand deals he has merch he has like 10 million followers on tick tock now he has a lifetime supply of ocean spray and they gifted him a truck

so i just feel like i don't know i feel like he's like a good guy like the first like okay so he got famous and a month later the first thing he did he's obviously making a lot of money now like is buy his longtime girlfriend a ring like that's literally so sweet so so sweet i feel like it's been a while since we've had one of these like viral sensation moments where some ordinary person just becomes a superstar overnight and it's always really exciting i can't believe he hasn't been on ellen yet she's like always monopolizing on like viral sensations mostly kids but still yeah that's a good point it's it really has i can't remember the last one that we've had yeah i remember alex from target yeah but even mason ramsey like that's really how he started mason ramsey's the last one the selfie kid from the super bowl Okay, that was so

that guy.

I mean, it was so manufactured.

No, I'm not saying he was a cute kid.

I'm saying the whole

career created around him was so manufactured.

It wasn't like natural.

This went naturally, organically viral.

Like people just vibed with it.

Literally, no, I didn't even look twice at that kid at the selfie.

And suddenly he's like, the selfie kid.

I'm like, what?

Yeah.

That was manufactured by like, by literally like a talent agency.

It was fake.

The backpack kid?

Yes.

That feels like another manufactured one to me.

No, he seemed more real to me because I I actually had seen him do that weird dance move

virally on certain social media platforms, but it wasn't as big as me.

I think Mason Ramsey is probably the most recent one who really

became famous.

Yeah, from like just an ordinary moment.

In an ordinary Walmart, in an ordinary town in America.

But with an extraordinary kid.

And an extraordinary talent.

Sounds like the end of a Hallmark movie.

Oh, also, one thing that I meant to send you as a story today: Hulu is now releasing their own Christmas movies, and they are are now, they're releasing the first one ever with a lesbian main character by Kristen Stewart.

Oh my God, that sounds amazing.

Oh, and her supportive like, you know, gay best friend is Dan Levy.

Oh my God, that sounds so good.

Competition is great for the consumers, you guys.

100%.

When they compete, we win.

We win.

So now Christmas movies.

More Christmas movies, more diversity.

The Bachelorette is on tonight, Tatia's first episode.

That'll be good.

Yeah, I was thinking about it last night.

And of course, I love Tatia and I'm excited, but she's gonna be great at being the bachelorette, thus making the show like a little boring.

Like something about Claire like breaking all the rules and like getting angry with all of her decisions like makes it much more interesting to watch.

I completely agree.

So like when we recap it, we're just gonna be here like, I love Tayshia.

Yeah, who will she choose?

She's such a great girl.

So many connections.

Yeah, so like I'm sure there'll be more to it that's interesting, but at the end of the day, I feel like she's just gonna be like a really good bachelorette.

I feel like she really appreciates like the opportunity she's been giving, which like makes it a little boring.

Yeah, no, it's just run of the mail batcher at the most dramatic season.

But we'll still be here recapping it because what else is there to do?

Yeah, no, I'm looking forward to it.

And we have a big week of TV.

Wednesday we have Real Houses of Salt Lake City, which like I literally cannot wait for.

Let's have a watch party.

And I think it's Cups together.

That's also Real Housewives of Orange County.

Yes, and then Thursday is Kardashian's Southern Charm.

Oh, and also tomorrow night is the CMA Awards.

Oh,

it's been a whole year since we hit that red carpet.

And honestly, it hit us right back.

Yeah, no, we needed the year to recover.

Yeah, no, honestly, the CMA awards, like doing the red carpet, I think we've done it now three years in a row, are

literally like the, it's the best day of my life.

Yeah, we should watch the live stream on Wednesday, like before the awards and then watch the awards.

Okay.

Like watch our stream, except don't make me sad because I was so snatched and now I'm anti-snatched.

The uh

I don't know what I was gonna say.

I was gonna say thank you guys, but do you have anything else you want to say before I wrap up?

No, just want to thank Theo like once again for being like the best addition to our show.

I 100% thought he was gonna going to throw up because he's like been having belly problems.

I remember he threw up on the show a few months ago.

That was so sad.

Yeah.

But I didn't want to.

At least he waited till the end of the show.

Right.

So maybe if I wrap up, he'll get up and throw up.

Yes.

And if you're listening as a podcast, we're wrapping up, but then you're going right into your interview with Lauren Elizabeth and it's premium and she's going to let you know how to get some bed vibes

going.

Bed productivity, bed vibes, like making the bed the place to be.

We are ending bed shaming culture.

We are so excited to welcome back to the podcast.

I think now this is probably the third time you've been on, Laura and Elizabeth.

I think more.

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, I think we did LA.

We did a couple.

You and I hosted together like twice.

She came on the breath once.

It's like, it's a family affair.

It truly is.

So much X.

It truly is a family affair, you guys.

Here's the thing.

The thing is,

we are sisters.

We stand together.

We stand together.

What's the next word?

The next line?

We make each other stronger.

That ain't never gonna stop.

I used to think I was so good at singing that song.

When I was little, it was hysterical.

Honestly, I think I just sounded really good.

And for someone who has the nastiest voice ever, I think this song just is like...

Honestly, you guys have been killing it with the vocals on the podcast.

I just have to say.

Oh, wow.

I remember like

a couple years ago, you guys were like, we're going to stop singing.

People are complaining that we're singing.

And then like slowly but surely, you brought it back.

And I'm just like in the car and I'm like, yes, yes.

Hit it.

No, they people were trying to stifle us.

Artistically.

I can't relate to people who don't want like more

impromptu singing and music in their life.

Yeah.

Yeah, no.

I mean, it's me and my brother.

We just constantly are singing.

It's like, where's the dogs?

Did you them or not?

Oh, by the way, that's literally me in bed.

I'm like, hey, bitch, how was your day today?

That's so Kylie.

Yeah.

So for those who don't know, Lauren is a fabulous friend of the Toast.

She also hosts a fabulous podcast on an even more fabulous podcast network, Toast News Network, Mood with Lauren Elizabeth.

You've really been killing the episodes in quarantine, getting amazing guests.

How has that been for you?

I mean, working from home is so motherfucking hard, and you do it just like we do in the normal world, but it's been on like a crazy level since quarantine started.

Do you feel any different?

If you're talking to me, I can't hear you.

It paused.

Please hold.

I just turned off Wi-Fi.

Okay.

Working from home podcast.

Claudia.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

Claudia.

Thank you so much for your question.

I really appreciate it.

I can't take you guys seriously.

I was like, how am I going to do this?

It's so hard because especially because we're on FaceTime.

But anyway, I'm going to be serious.

I'm going to be Lauren Elizabeth.

I'm not going to be Lauren.

They're two very different people, but very similar at the same time.

You're not going to be, you're not going to be Lauren Ashray.

You're going to be Lauren Oliver.

Yes, exactly.

Working from home, you know, at the beginning of quarantine, like you guys said, it was like, oh, it's like we already work from home.

Like, it's so normal.

Spoiler alert, it's not at all.

It's very weird.

As someone that is a hermit, Claudia, similar to you, I like to spend all my time in my bed.

I had to even buy, I had to buy a chair just to physically get myself to another spot.

So that was a big investment.

And honestly, the podcast has really thrived over quarantine just because, you know, I've come a long way in the podcast.

I know you guys know, as Lauren Oshre and Lauren Elizabeth, it's just like I started when I was in a really weird personal place in my life where I was actually secretly getting sober.

So I didn't want to share it with the public.

And then I started the podcast in a place where I thought I was going to be this fun, like drinking.

And then like, there's this serious side of me, but then there's this crazy side of me.

And as I got sober, I obviously realized that I actually don't need alcohol to be crazy.

I'm just pretty much drunk, drunk 24-7.

So the alcohol is not necessary.

Like I, I just.

I am just consistently doing the WAP dance and you'd think I was like belligerent, but like fully sober.

So I really switched up the format with the podcast with your guys's help as my fabulous producers.

You guys really like helped and guided me through it behind the scenes.

You guys were some of the first people I even told.

I remember I didn't even tell my best friends from home that you guys knew before they did.

No, and you know what?

You were like, we have, you were like, I have something to tell you.

And I was like, what could it be?

Like, I never, um, I never thought anything of your drinking, but I feel like you doing it so openly.

Like I watched your whole YouTube video.

I listened to your whole podcast.

I know you took like a little bit of a break before you like made the transition.

And I just feel like, honestly, it's so brave.

Like I can't imagine, honestly, like, and we podcast about everything, but like, that's such a vulnerable thing to do.

And you come from like such a vulnerable place that I think a lot of people really, really related to it because you, you just seemed like, especially on Instagram, it's like, everything's cool.

I'm Lauren.

I wear neutrals.

Like, there's nothing else going on.

You know what I mean?

I know.

It's like, it's funny because I'm like really actually bad at like being quote unquote like a character.

Like, you know how sometimes it's always like, oh, like I'm one person on Instagram and another in real life.

Like, I actually am really who I am on Instagram.

There's just like the more like lazy and like sometimes like inappropriate side of me.

Like, I keep behind the scenes when I'm like acting like a 16-year-old boy, as my friends would say.

Um, but yeah, I mean, like, it was, I think that, like, you know, the podcast was one of the hardest things to do while I was getting sober just because it was, I feel like podcasting is so intimate.

Whereas like in YouTube, I can really edit it chop it up and be that funny version of myself but it wasn't translating on the podcast and i felt like it wasn't represent a representation of who i really am and so getting that feedback while I was getting sober was like a really big breaking point for me.

And so per usual in my career, I made the decision to be authentic and shared that.

And now it's like we have this incredible community of like people that really respond to the podcast.

It's like fun and funny, but it's like really impactful and powerful.

It's like we talk about mental health and wellness and lifestyle, but not in like a goopy way where it's like so like serious and woo-woo.

It's like, it's very like no bullshit.

It's like, yeah, like this fucking sucks.

Here's what you can do.

Like it's just really fun.

And like you guys came on the podcast a while ago and like it's just kind of slowly but surely changed its structure.

And now I feel like there's some toasters that are even like, I found you from the morning toast, da-da-da.

And it just like makes me so happy because there's all these like new people getting involved.

And what you need to do is get involved, okay?

It is what we need to do.

That is what we need to do.

You have had so many great podcast episodes in the queue.

Who has been like one of your favorite guests?

Or what are some of your favorite episodes that you've done so far?

Honestly, it's always the people I'm not expecting to be the best guests.

And I think for me, I never realized that I had social anxiety until obviously getting sober because

would think like we're very outgoing.

We like, you know, we like talk a lot, but then there's still like internally that social anxiety.

So it was always the people that I didn't realize.

So it was like I had this amazing author on who wrote this book called Winging It.

And it's all about just like stop planning and start doing, which is awesome because you see so many influencers being like, plan, time cube, like schedule, like do the same thing every day.

And then I had this girl that like runs the social channels on the mental health side from Mad Happy, which is like a really popular streetwear brand.

And she was just breaking down like mental health.

And it's just like.

People respond to those episodes so much.

Mariana Hewitt was amazing.

Emma Leger was like a stunning queen, amazing, like just so many great guests because I feel like we get a more vulnerable side of people instead of just this like, whoop-de-doo.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's honestly just why podcasting is everything of the sort.

Like I don't think in a traditional media interview with a celebrity like you're ever really gonna get to know anything about them it's literally like a three minute segment between commercial breaks like it's so it's fabulous but it's just inauthentic and i feel like everyone who like puts their dips their toe in the podcasting like pond just loves it immediately because if you like are a fan of someone and you listen to them like you just on a podcast i feel like you after the episode like you know them like you can officially say like i know everything about you Yeah, it's like unedited and it's like they're not like, hi, yes, I'm here to promote this, this, and this.

It's like, I mean, celebrities on podcasts is like 2021.

I mean, I know it's pretty much Joe Rogan, but like, thank you for setting the stage.

100%.

And he always says he does such long episodes because he's like, anyone can, you know, be funny and interesting for a certain amount of time, even maybe an hour.

But at three hours, we're going to see who you really are.

Right.

Three hours.

Probably one of my favorite thing about things about following you on Instagram is like you actually never leave your house, which I don't either, but you make it like so productive.

You make it so productive.

It's like you're always glamorous.

And glamorous.

And like cozy, cheesy, you know, Hermes throw blanket, restoration hardware, chase lounge.

Like there's a real, and especially in quarantine, I feel like we need more of that where it's like, I'm literally laying in my bed in like my shit stained t-shirt getting nothing done, but you really inspire like that at-home productivity.

And I feel like of all the people I know, like you've actually had a really productive quarantine.

Like you got sober, your podcast like really, really took off.

And now you're relaunching your clothing line with LA Collective, Lauren Elizabeth Elizabeth Collection, which I'm actually wearing a cardigan from like a really old

collection of yours right here.

I read it.

Vintage Lauren Elizabeth.

It's vintage Lauren Elizabeth.

It's vintage.

It's vintage.

How do you compartmentalize in your home, separate your home and your and your workspace?

Like, how has that been?

And how did you manage to be so productive?

Well, first of all, thank you so much for just appreciating me staying at home and making a cozy chic because I literally was on Instagram the other day and I was just like, oh my God, I literally am always storing like the same views because it's like me in bed, me next to my bed, me across from my bed.

And whenever I FaceTime you during the day,

I'm like, Claudia picks up the phone on FaceTime.

She's in bed.

I'm in bed.

And I'm just like, it makes me so happy that like when I feel like laying down, that I know I can count on you also laying down.

It's literally

like, we are the two women from Gray Gardens.

Like we never leave our bed.

We're like the grandparents from Willy Wonka.

Yeah, like literally, just like consistently, like you'd think there's something wrong with us.

I mean, obviously, there is

a level of like, of, of course, there is.

I mean, clearly there's a wire missing somewhere up there, but I like, I feel like the productivity comes.

It's really interesting because I, I don't know, I feel like you and I, like, obviously, we have like very close birthdays and we're both like very like outgoing, but like secretly like cancer signs or whatever.

And I'm not super into astrology, but I feel like it really,

yeah, like it's like you, it really does like describe us, even though I'm not super into astrology.

My friends always try to make me read my horoscope, and it gives me a fucking pit every single time.

It was like, you're going to be going through something in the next week.

I'm like, thank you so much.

Like, fuck off.

Welcome to 2020.

I'm like, I don't.

Yeah, I'm like, I don't need, I was like, God has a plan.

Leave me the fuck alone.

But, okay, so productivity in my house.

Here's the thing.

As a creative person that is a cancer,

I actually am more creative when I'm like relaxed.

And it's like, if I'm not relaxed, like I can get a lot of stuff done at like the peak productivity stress point.

We talk about this on the podcast.

There's like a whole little curve where it's like

when you're not stressed enough, you're on the bottom left of the curve.

Then there's like a peak point, and then there's like the burnout depression point.

And so, like, when I'm at the peak point, it's like, let's fucking go.

Like, let's do the damn thing.

But that's like sitting up in bed.

Okay.

That's like, oh, yes.

You know, I'm like sitting up on a laptop.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm like, you know, I really put the sheets down a little bit.

But the rest of the productivity really comes from A, having a pit that like, I'm a lazy piece of shit and I should get up.

And then

it's like, I realize, okay, Claudia Australia across the country in bed as well.

And she's a boss ass bitch.

I can get in bed.

And I'm like, I'm like, my job is on my phone.

My brother, I mean, you guys know my brother.

He walks in.

He goes, oh, look, Lorne's in bed again.

And I'm like, first of all, such a hurtful thing to say.

I couldn't agree.

Like, when someone says, get out of bed today, like, we had like, oh, sorry.

I'm busy fulfilling my dreams.

Yes.

Yeah.

Like, dude, we literally had a family call where I cried on FaceTime and my mom had to mediate us because I was like, he's so annoying.

And he's like,

I don't know.

Yes.

Yeah, he's bed shaming me.

And he's like,

my mom goes, Ludson, do you think that's a good way of communication?

He goes, well, I don't know.

If I told my guy friends, like, you're being lazy, like, let's fucking go, work out, it would work.

And I'm like, I'm not your guy friends.

Do you have no respect for depression, anxiety, and laziness?

Like, shut the fuck up.

No, but, like, the funny thing is, we're working in bed.

Right, right.

That's what it is.

It's like you, you designed it in time.

And honestly, it's, I think it's your best collection ever because I got to see like the line sheet of all the products.

You could, you literally launched like a fire fucking loungewear collection.

You kill it on Instagram.

Your podcast is killing it.

It's like people just don't understand the hustle that is bed culture.

And it's very real.

And I feel sick of it.

No, it's bed culture.

It's toxic productivity culture outside the bed.

I'm so productive in the bed.

I really tried to pitch calling my new collection the Depression Collection because I really feel like it rolls off the tongue.

And when someone says, Why are you in bed?

I say, Why aren't you in bed?

Why aren't you in bed?

Like, I'm comfortable.

I have the body of a 90-year-old woman, or yeah, woman.

And it hurts if I'm up for too long.

So, do you have no respect?

But honestly, like with quarantine, I think you get to that point where you're starting to be like, Okay, I do kind of miss the real world.

Like, even someone like me who like hates everything, I am starting to miss going out into the real world.

So, honestly, I always talk about mood boosters on the podcast, and I feel like as long as I'm filling my day up with some mood boosters and like taking care of myself and being productive, if I'm in bed, if I'm in the house, where the fuck is there to go?

Where the fuck is there to go?

My favorite thing to do is go to starbucks you live in like such a nice house with like multiple rooms but some of us live in apartments with two rooms like bed or couch and those are the options these days and like somehow it's more respectable if it's couch 100 but what's the difference what's the difference well i really appreciate you guys uh trying to turn your living rooms mostly claudia into like a mood boosting vibe it's really on brand for tnn between the two of us so

i did have a question though you need to give claudia some pointers yes please but i did have a question.

When you guys say a mooge booche, is that like fancy for mood booster?

It's fancy.

It's a palette cleanser.

In French.

But I feel as though, like, a palette cleanser getting you ready for like the next course.

But I do feel like a mood booster.

Yes, it's an amoo.

It's a mood booster.

It's an amood booster.

It's an amuge booster.

A moo.

I was like, that's what all I was thinking.

And I mean, like, like, obviously you guys are doing the right thing.

It's like, literally, my mood boosters are sometimes like Amazon lights that I can change the colors on my phone.

And like a fancy candle.

You just did that.

Literally just.

Honestly, it changes the vibe.

I lit Christmas candles last night and it changed my fucking life.

I feel like I would go to your Instagram for like inspiration on how to cultivate living room vibes like seasonally because I feel like you're always doing like cute pumpkin shits and like candle stuff.

Like I feel like you really live like that Pinterest life.

Like you're,

I've seen your home on Instagram and I've actually been in your home and they're quite similar they are quite similar they're really similar I mean you get the vibes and I you know when you say Pinterest I just kind of get triggered I just want to make it clear that I know I'm basic and I know I'm

not sure like but I don't categorize you as basic not at all no I think I'm elevated basic you know it's like we're really taking it to the next level like we're really pushing the we're pushing the word in the term of basic

in the words of stasi schroeder you're next level basic

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

That's like her brand.

So we're going to have to rewrite that.

We're going to workshop that.

It's no biggie.

No biggie.

Can we talk about your collection?

I see we're FaceTiming right now.

You're wearing the pants, right?

Yes, I'm wearing the pants and the matching tank top.

It's a little kind of all over the place because I just rolled out of bed.

Would you believe it?

And I'm sitting

on my belt.

Yeah, right.

I essentially I am.

Oh my God.

Honestly, your bed is so comfortable and it's so big.

It's truly my favorite.

I invest in sheets and all this stuff.

It's like, you just got to do it.

But so the Lauren Elizabeth collection.

Of course I use a top sheet.

Okay.

Then that settles that.

If Lauren uses a top sheet,

and she's the bed expert.

Bed expert.

Yeah.

I am.

I highly recommend Brooklinen Luxe satine sheets if you want a hotel feel.

And then you go with a parachute home duvet cover or cotton quilt and the biggest level up is getting the Euro shams to go on your bed so as you can see there are these three Euro shams and it really elevates your bed from I'm a teenager to I'm an adult and that's that's hard I definitely have my bed has teenager vibes and I can't put my finger on why it is that, but I feel like you're speaking to my soul.

Yeah, I think you need a duvet cover, maybe like a quilt at the bottom and some Euro shams, like really like Pinterest hotel meets lazy piece of shit laying in bed.

So will you send me some links?

Oh, of course.

I already started making my Christmas list too with some new ones because 2021, we're leveling up.

We're going even further on the home decor in 2021.

So at Lauren Elizabeth.

Was your Lauren Elizabeth collection like in terms of what you decided to put out?

Because I know in the past you've done like leather jackets, leather pants, but this is very loungewear focused.

And is that because people like you and I literally don't leave our beds?

It's literally because it's

100%.

Yeah, it's 100% a selfish choice.

However, when I had the idea to do a loungewear drop two years ago, when I had my former brand, which was XLE, which you guys have, you know, done a great job of just telling all the toasters about, which I'm so grateful for, it was this spur-of-the-moment idea where I was like sitting in the production office and I was just like, I have this idea.

I haven't seen anything that's like ribbed and matching, that's like more affordable than just like cashmere and like forward.com.

Like, so this was like two years ago, and the moment we dropped it, it sold out in like 10 minutes.

And unfortunately, the way I was doing business before, we couldn't really like restock and stay on it.

And I had just been working for two years on this clothing, and I really, really learned a lot in the sense of on the business side and how I function creatively.

And so, exactly a year ago, I went home for the holidays and I called my team in LA and I was just like, listen, I don't think I can do this anymore.

Like I need to be making, I don't want to make this clothes over, these clothes overseas anymore.

I want like a business partner in Los Angeles.

I want to be even more involved.

And they're like, are you sure?

That's going to be so much more work.

And I'm like, I don't think you understand.

Like productivity in bed.

Like, I got this.

And

so we literally have spent the last 12 months doing the boring part, which was, you know, getting out of one contract, finding another business partner, like kind of like the details that I don't really talk about on Instagram, but I do talk about on podcasts and YouTube because I'm like that person that's like not like secret project.

I'm like,

here's the shtick.

Like here's what's going on.

Like when I can legally talk about it, I'm like, here's everything that's going on.

And I didn't even talk about it for a while.

The only times I did were it's like, why haven't you dropped clothing?

And the reality is, is because legally we were going through this really long process of getting the clothing to where I want it to be, which is now my dream partner, LA Collective.

I know people are very familiar with them because of Morgan Stewart's sport.

She's obviously our queen.

And I know that I knew of them personally.

And so I made it my mission.

to get them to want to work with me.

And I actually got out of bed one time to do it.

And I, yeah, I met them for me.

I was really wanted it.

Dude, I know.

It was tough.

And I met them for drinks.

And I was so nervous because no one knew I was sober.

So I was just like, oh, I have to drive, like, whatever.

But

we finally have gotten to this place.

And I just made the executive decisions of like, listen, I love loungewear.

I love being in bed.

It was the best collection.

I get DMs every single day about when is this stuff coming back out?

I was like, I want to go pedal to the metal, like full in this.

And of course, then quarantine hits, and everyone's making loungewear, and everyone's making sets.

And I'm over here being like, oh my God, I know that I'm going to be dropping this stuff.

And I know that I started it two years ago, but it's not here yet.

And so it's been like a really kind of like impatient process.

But the great thing is, is now I have an incredible business partner where you can go shop on la collective.com today.

We have an amazing collection and it's all 100% organic cotton.

It's made in LA.

It's completely elevated.

I know, you know, we had problems with some of the fits in the past or the material in the past because it was a little bit on the lower end of the scale for like the fast fashion.

And it's like, you know, you can't please everyone because, you know, you'll get DMs being like, why is it a little more expensive?

And then you get DMs being like, why isn't it sustainable?

And I'm like, which one do you want?

And I went with what, you know, morally felt right to me.

And so everything is under $100, which I think is a huge win for how incredible this collection is.

Because if you want anything like this, it's either going to be $200-something dollars or it's going to be $20 in really, really cheap.

So we are like the perfect middle ground for this stuff.

The fit is insane.

I'm like an OCD perfectionist, like yelling at people all day in a kind way, of course.

And I'm just really happy to be talking about it on the podcast so that I don't have to reply to any of my text messages of people just

like telling me what to do about this collection and dealing with people.

So this is a really great break.

And I'm just really excited for loungewear.

Oh, I'm excited too.

I feel like we've come up in the cycle of the year where I'm exactly where I was back in March, where it's like, I need cozy loungewear.

Anything that I was wearing for the last eight months, it's either

worn out, done.

I'm just ready to curate the cozy vibe that starts at home.

But it's about what you wear too.

This collection couldn't be launching at a more perfect time, and I'm so excited to wear it.

And I heard a rumor, just I need you to dispel the rumor, Mel, that you made a promo code for the toasters.

I heard that too.

Yeah, so, you know, since I'm Lauren Oshre, I am a toaster at heart.

And I decided to make a promo code for the toasters because they're amazing.

Oh, my God.

They're cheering.

They're cheering.

They heard about the promo code and they're honking their horse.

Shelly, Lauren, yeah, everyone.

You guys,

when Biden won the election and I went out to, you know, do a little celebration in the streets and everyone was cheering and honking, in my head, I was just like, this is all for Lauren Elizabeth collection.

Like, we didn't know who.

and that's exactly what just happened.

Yeah.

When you said you had a code for the toasters,

they're outside.

You don't understand.

Like, we're our podcast is so popular.

People know where our studio is.

They sit there.

Yeah, they're in the street.

They're in the street honk.

They're in the street.

Oh, yeah.

It's like Good Morning America.

Exactly.

The code is toasters20.

You can shop today.

You can get 20% off.

Toasters20LA Collective.com.

You guys can see it on my story.

I'm sure my best friends, Jackie Jackie and Claudia, will post it on their story.

And you guys can get cozy.

Lauren, where are our free pieces that we were promised?

Okay, so I have to write the little notes that are included.

They were due today, and they're all blank.

They're in my bed.

Don't worry.

And you guys, I think they're actually shipping out tomorrow because that's how...

That's how fast I got this collection to drop.

Is that I don't even have clothes with Lauren Elizabeth collection tags on them.

I'm wearing samples.

Oh, that's when you know you're moving fast.

Yeah, I don't even have a copy of my own book because we're so productive, Lauren.

We're just ahead of the curve, you know?

Yeah, like it's like, it's tough, you know?

Like, it's fucking tough.

Like, I'm ahead of the curve.

And I pre-ordered your book, by the way.

Oh, I pre-ordered your book.

I mean, obviously.

You're a queen.

And she's a big reader.

That's true.

She's a redhead, isn't she?

Yeah, she does dabble in the redheads.

It's never too late to become a redhead.

And I just want to add, it's never too late.

It's never too late to become

an amooge booster.

And

I listened.

I was having a really bad weekend.

I was just having so much anxiety because I'm Lauren, obviously.

And I listened to all the redheads because I haven't been reading, but I was like, I miss Rebecca and like Margo and Dana and Jackie so much.

I listened to three episodes and I was just lolling in the car by myself.

It's truly truly never too late.

You don't even have to read the books.

I'm telling you.

It's so enjoyable to just listen to.

That is so nice of you to say thank you so much.

Like, that's always how I feel, but it's really nice to hear.

And I didn't ask you to say anything like that.

Oh, she didn't.

So that means the world.

Thank you.

Woman supporting women.
