S3 Ep117: The One With Much To Discuss: Tuesday, July 7th, 2020

Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Tuesday.

We hope everyone had a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous holiday weekend.

And hopefully it was something like Kelly's Mindless News like the 4th of July.

I hope that it was that for you too.

I personally had a fabulous weekend.

It was just so much fun in the sun.

I love fun in the sun.

It was truly a fun-filled weekend for me.

Yeah.

Before we even say anything, we want to wish a very happy birthday to our amazing sister, Olivia.

It is her...

29th birthday, and we just love you so much, and we want to wish you happy birthday.

We hope you have the best day ever.

We will ensure that you do.

We will make it our mission, Cadet Kelly, to make sure that you are having the best day ever.

We love you so much.

She's already having the best day ever because she's with Presh Kayla.

Presh Kayla, yeah.

And that's just, it doesn't get better than that.

Every moment I'm not with Presh Kayla is like a waste of time and energy and space.

I completely agree.

It's just fucking depressing to be without her.

I agree, but we'll be with her today, and that's all we can really ask for.

The ant life is the life for me.

The anti-sneeches.

Oh my god, I almost just choked.

I had a fabulous weekend.

Yours looked fabulous as well.

Yeah.

Loved watching, you know, Jackie Oflo make a return to that great outdoors.

Yeah, no, she's missed the great outdoors.

It was really just a fun weekend, and it's obviously been a while since I had one of those.

And I feel renewed.

Like Ramona Singer, I feel renewed.

Exactly.

And

I was in the Hamptons with my in-laws, and I was supposed to come back yesterday, but I decided to to come back Sunday because I felt like I just needed a day, like to recover.

And yesterday was probably one of the most relaxing days I've had, like in my life.

I watched so much TV.

I've slept just like, I was in and out of sleep, like the whole day.

I was just exhausted.

I don't even know from what, but it was just a lovely way to spend a Monday.

I'm glad that we took the show off yesterday.

I feel like I really needed that day off.

Yeah, I appreciated it, appreciated it as well.

But this week I have people working in my apartment because remember on the Patreon behind the scenes,

my home home tour, remember how my shower is like broken?

So I'm finally getting it fixed, but it had to wait until like we were in phase construction phase.

Right.

So there's all these people in my apartment working, and I can't get into my bathroom, which is why I look disgusting today.

Apologies.

I look horrible.

I didn't have hairspray.

I didn't have my curling iron.

I didn't know what to do with myself.

And so I don't even know what this dress is.

Like, just don't look at me.

Just don't look at me.

Jack, you look beautiful, stunning, and smart.

I look ugly, stupid, and ugly.

Well, we have a fabulous show for you guys today.

There was so much news over the weekend.

It was literally

killing me not to just talk about all of it.

So we are going to be recapping it all.

People are like clamoring to get into the fast five today.

Like, usually it's kind of an open door policy.

You do something semi-interesting, and we'll talk about you.

Yeah.

But today we are making hard cuts because like we really have the fast five.

So the fast five, and then we are going to recap our toast movie of the week, which was Selma.

And then we're also going to assign our new one.

And then I watched a ton of stuff over the weekend I want to talk about.

We both watched a David Foster documentary.

I caught up on Real Housewives of New York and their Zoom confessionals.

Oh, I haven't watched that yet.

I've been trying to finish season four of Real Housewives of Potomac.

But I also didn't watch that much TV this weekend because I was enjoying the great outdoors and it was fabulous.

And I encourage you all to try that.

You know, it's a beautiful thing to step outside and just like enjoy.

Yeah, to step outside.

Breathe it in.

Before we dive in, I just wanted to give a quick note to everyone who watched my special this weekend.

It really stayed on the homepage of iTunes for pretty much the entire weekend, which is crazy because if you release a movie from like a movie studio, obviously, like you can just pay to be on the home page, but we released it independently.

So it was on the home page because that many people were watching it, which was just fabulous.

And I really, really hope everyone liked it.

And I'm so glad that everyone watched it, rented, bought it.

The comedy album is now out.

So if you listen to this podcast and you just like listening to stuff as opposed to watching, you can now listen to the album, which is available to stream on Spotify or on iTunes, Amazon Music, all the places.

So great for a podcaster.

Totally.

I have something to say say because I watched your special.

Oh my God, you really just scared me.

I watched your special this weekend with the group that I was with and Claudia.

A hilarious group.

It was the best thing I've ever seen in my life.

Really?

And like, I wasn't expecting to be wowed because I've seen the show so many times.

I was there when you filmed the special.

I was truly rolling on the floor.

It was just so funny.

Like, oh my God.

The new things were making me laugh.

The old things are always making me laugh.

Like, we were, I was just laughing so hard.

It was so fucking enjoyable.

Oh!

And I just really I was shocked by the fact that I was so moved by it considering like I know it backwards and forwards you're desensitized, but it was just so funny like you guys if you haven't watched yet or even if you've been to a show like

That's not a reason not to watch it because it's also when you're sitting in the audience You don't get all of your facial expressions.

Yes, and so with the camera close up on you like it really does a great service to the whole physical

comedy.

Yeah.

And it was just sensational.

When we turned it on I was like so tired.

I was like, I'm going to fall asleep.

And it was just, it was riveting.

Wow, I love that.

A rave review from a really harsh critic.

No, I'm not harsh.

And I, like, everything we do is great, but I was just like enamored by it.

It was so fucking good.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

So, you guys, it's E.T.'s time.

You have to watch it.

E.G.'s time.

But it is also time for something else.

Yeah, I think it is time for the fast-side stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

I said that with like a little different inflection.

No, you said that with some uncertainty.

Are you feeling okay?

I don't know.

I was just like trying.

Sometimes I improv with it, like, you, yeah, you, yeah, hi.

Um, and I was just sort of stuck between should I go there, should I not?

Yeah, so instead, I just stumbled over every word.

It was beautiful, nonetheless.

Um, before we dive in, I have to tell you, like, I saw the funniest thing in the street yesterday.

It wasn't funny, it was actually sad, but like, you know, when you can't stop watching, like, a mess.

So, this kid, it was raining, and the kid was skateboarding, which, like, what are you doing skateboarding in the rain?

And I already see it.

Of course, he just completely fell on his ass, and like, everyone on the block stopped to watch him, which was just like mortifying for him.

And he just like was so defeated that he just like let his skateboard roll down the sidewalk, but it eventually veered off the sidewalk and into the street.

And a bus came and it was crazy.

Like within an inch of the skateboard's life, like the bus made it.

And then the bus, I mean, then the skateboard went underneath some like Toyota Camry and the person didn't realize.

So the kid goes running and he's like waiting.

And it looks like he's going to get the skateboard.

You know, it was just so like, is he going to get it?

Is he not going to get it?

And literally this Toyota Camry like just starts driving an inch and it runs over the skateboard, but half the skateboard.

So now the kid is trying to get the skateboard from underneath the wheel of the Toyota Camry.

It was so dramatic.

I was literally standing in the corner for 20 minutes watching this kid suffer.

Like I obviously should have offered to help, but like when I'm feeling embarrassed, like if I fall somewhere, I want nobody to look at me.

Yeah, I just want everyone to pretend like they haven't seen.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's the nicest thing you could do.

It was just such an, like, it was a series of unfortunate events.

That's really sad.

Yeah, and I'm not used to seeing things on the street because in the last four months, all I've seen is

someone peeing on a payphone booth.

I saw that the other day.

It was so crazy.

I've actually seen now twice in one week public urination because New York is the greatest city on earth, man.

Okay, let's get into the news because there's so much to discuss.

I want to start the past five on a high because Morgan Stewart is engaged to Jordan McGraw, son of Dr.

Phil McGraw.

Yes, lots of people don't know that he is a doctor himself and he is the son of the doctor, Dr.

Phil Chemin.

And I just have

so many happy thoughts about this.

I mean

my first thought is like Brendan just must be vomiting because for those who don't know Jordan and Morgan actually dated before she was married to Brendan so he was like the guy Morgan told Brendan not to worry about for sure and now they're now they're divorced and like she's engaged and now he's very much worried and I'm sure he's just like thinking like oh my god my whole marriage like was a lie for sure was my whole marriage was like the

the setup for this happily ever after.

To me, like Jordan McGraw has like the most

impeccable taste in women.

Do you know what I mean?

Because like if you can land Morgan Stewart, to me, she's one of the most eligible bachelorettes in the world.

Not even just Hollywood, like in the world.

First of all, she's so stunning.

She's so smart.

She's so successful on her own.

She's this fabulous personality.

She's so stylish.

Like I can't name one bad thing about her.

The definition of everything of the sort when you look it up in the dictionary.

Yes.

Everything of the sort.

She's also the definition of it girl.

Like that is her right now.

Oh, for sure.

And I just love, there's so many things that I love about this.

Okay, this is what I love about it first and foremost.

And I love how much it like shocked and stunned me and how much it stuck with me for a few days.

I was like, oh my God, I woke up in the morning.

I'm like, Morgan Stewart's dating.

No, by the way, literally same.

And I actually spoke to Morgan and she said she was like completely blindsided.

She had absolutely no idea, which is just even more beautiful.

Like that, that's what an girl deserves, like just to be blindsided.

100%.

And let's just go back to March when we started quarantine.

And that's when they came out with their relationship mentorship.

So they were quarantining together.

They were doing Instagram live from home.

And so like over the course of quarantine, yes, they started dating before, but it couldn't have been that long.

They like were living together, got engaged, and are gonna live happily ever after now.

Like, they went from zero to 100.

Yeah, I mean, quarantine, and that's called making the most of the situation, right?

We said before quarantine, there's only two ways that this could go: there's the Casey Musgraves route, and there's the Morgan Stewart route.

And I'm just so happy for Morgan Stewart.

There's so many elements of this that bring me joy.

The first is like, I'm just happy for Morgan Stewart becoming a member of this rich Hollywood family.

Like, Dr.

Phil Money is money.

Like, he has been on the air for years and years and years.

He has radio.

He has a podcast now.

He's just so successful.

And I love her being, becoming a part of, like, an institution in Hollywood.

To me, that makes me so happy.

The other element that I love about this is that Jordan McGraw is like weirdly

a part of the Jonas family.

And this would make Morgan Stewart like a Jay cousin, not a Jay sister.

She's a Jay cousin for sure.

Right?

Yeah, because I saw like Priyanka commented on your picture.

Yeah.

Oh my God, the elegance.

But that's also what I love about Morgan Stewart.

She's like a relatable queen who like answered my text when I was like, are you engaged?

But then also Priyanka Chopra is commenting on her Instagram.

Like, we have no choice but to respect a queen.

I think she commented on Jordan's Instagram.

Does that make it?

Same thing.

We have no choice but to respect a queen who

is everything of the sort.

I just, I'm like weirdly obsessed with her.

No, and I also really like the fact that he's a musician

and his songs are really good.

Yes, fashion.

And that just must be like really attractive for her.

Yep.

And I'm just, I'm so here for all of it.

Oh, also, as I was researching this morning, this is crazy.

A little follow-up news that I was wondering about because I saw that she was moving because she was dismantling her amazing closet.

And I was like wondering where she was moving to.

And then she got engaged.

So I was assuming she was moving in with her mans.

And apparently, Dr.

Phil McGraw bought his son a $10 million home after he got engaged to Morgan Stewart.

Okay, Jordan McGraw has a lot to celebrate this July.

In addition to becoming engaged to E-News's very own Morgan Stewart, the son of Dr.

Phil will be moving into a spanking new $10 million home.

According to Variety, the Beverly Hills mansion was gifted to Jordan by his parents, Robin McGraw and Dr.

Phil.

His new 6,500 square foot estate is situated on the hillside of one of Beverly Hills' most exclusive neighborhoods.

It comes complete with all the amenities one could need and more, including a pool, wine room, and outdoor kitchen.

Moreover, he will have plenty of space to entertain or host guests with four beds and four and a half baths.

Perfect, one for each Jonas brother.

Wait, I like this house is like making my life.

I don't know why.

Do you see these pictures?

Well, now it begs the question.

This isn't the house that went viral of Dr.

Phil.

remember when people he put one of his house up houses up for sale and the interior was really questionable um and it totally went viral oh my god this house you guys will post pictures on our instagram marble fireplace wine cellar sickening ocean farm chemon oh my god i i'm over the moon like this is just this is the life i envisioned for morgan stewart like i know morgan stewart like probably has a lot of expectations for herself for career and personal life but i have some too and this is just like totally exceeding those expectations i'm like so happy for her that she's going to live in this $10 million house and just be the fabulous queen that she is.

100%.

I just, I don't know.

I feel like an investor in Morgan Stewart's life.

Like I obviously saw her on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and obviously she was my favorite.

She was funniest.

And then she just like morphed this like reality show and took a full-fledged career.

And now she's just out here killing it, living in a $10 million house.

And

she's so inspiring.

Yeah, she's inspiring.

I love her so much.

I'm so happy.

And I love how happy collectively like the world was for this.

Everyone was, we were rooting for you.

We were all rooting for you.

Like everyone was rooting for you.

I've never yelled at a girl like this.

And it was just beautiful.

Yeah, really beautiful.

Unfortunately, I do have to switch gears to

Splitsville News.

Oh, my God.

Because Casey Musgraves and Rustin Kelly have split.

They have reached the end of their rainbow.

The country singer and her singer-songwriter husband have called it quits after over two years of marriage.

Their reps confirmed to people on Friday.

Quote, these kinds of announcements are always met with scrutiny and speculation, and we want to stop that before it even starts, their joint statement read.

We believe that we were put into each other's lives for a divine reason and have both changed each other infinitely for the better.

The love we have for each other goes far beyond the relationship we've shared as husband and wife.

It's a soul connection that can never be erased.

Okay, they definitely wrote this statement.

Yes, I don't know about publicists using the word soul connection.

No, but like they're speaking so highly of each other.

I just don't understand how this equates to divorce.

I know, and you know what?

It's like, why am I so shocked?

But also not shocked.

People have questioned her marriage forever.

And it used to just be this annoying thing where it's like, leave her alone.

She likes to keep her marriage private.

But at the end of the day, the people questioning it were kind of right because here we are.

I'm just, I'm shocked because

when they did decide to get married, it just seemed so real.

And it was like OTP.

And I kind of loved that they kept it private and everyone thought they weren't together, but they always were like they were spotted at Target, you know, like there was something about the mystery that really made me feel like their love was real.

But then at the same time, you know, she's had this amazing year and he was not present for any of it.

Like he wasn't at the Grammys.

He wasn't, maybe he wasn't at the Grammys.

When she was like, yeah, and she took her purse.

Yeah.

It was just, I don't know.

It's just,

I hate to say it, but it's like she kind of just outgrew him.

Well, that seems like the surface reason.

You know, what we see of their relationship shows us that she obviously just like shot to stardom in the last two years and mega stardom.

She's always been a star, born a star.

Well, to me, she's always been a star, but now like the world bandwagon fans are right.

For sure, but like now she's like mega.

She's an institution.

Everything.

Whereas like she was a star before.

And so the way we see it, it's like, obviously, these two things don't add up, but you never know what goes on.

And this statement is one of the more confusing ones.

It's like they knew that we were getting bored by these template divorce statements.

Yeah, but so they threw a wrench into it.

Well, also, it's like they wanted this statement to just like not confuse anyone in the sense that, like, they never wanted it to seem like someone cheated because that's always what people think, especially when like such a short marriage.

Like, why?

Why now?

So, I don't think anyone cheated.

And I think that's what the statement was trying to

convey, yeah.

Yeah.

Or avoid.

It also adds, we've made this painful decision together, a healthy decision that comes after a very long period of trying the best we can.

It simply just didn't work.

Though we are parting ways in marriage,

we will remain true friends for the rest of our lives.

I feel like true friends for the rest of your lives, that's

the least you could hope for.

No, that's literally a marriage.

I mean,

here's where I feel.

I am, you know,

no one can even argue.

Casey Muskrate's number one fan.

So I feel very sad that this is obviously like a painful thing.

You know, divorce is so so hard.

They say it's like a death.

You know, remember Shannon and David Bedour burying Shannon.

It's painful, of course.

But at the same time, like, I just know that this album is going to be heartbreaking.

And I feel like that's what we need from Casey Musk.

Like, she's going to win another Grammy.

Whatever art comes out of quarantine, divorce.

She says she likes to experiment with LSD when she does.

Creative writing sessions.

Like, I just think all of these elements are going to birth the greatest album of all time.

I really feel that way.

I said it here right now, July 7th, 2020.

We'll see what happens in a year if I was right.

I probably am.

Okay, I know everyone like loves to say that when there's like someone going through it.

But not everyone.

No, like nobody says that.

Adele.

Yes, but nobody says it like P.V.

Rexa.

You know, like certain people convey certain emotions.

And Adele and Casey Musgraves are the same.

Adele, Casey Musgraves, Kelly Clarkson.

But I just want to say like Golden Hour was written when she was happily married and or at the beginning of her marriage.

She was happy and sad at the same time.

Maybe she wasn't.

Okay, that's why it was so brilliant.

It was written at a high and it's one of the greatest albums of all time.

Yeah, Yeah, no, but by the way, I'm not saying only heartbreak is good for creative outlets.

Highs and lows are good.

That's why Golden Hour was so fabulous.

She had just gotten married.

Of course, I'm sad she's going through a low time right now, but I'm just excited for the fruits of the low.

Yeah, okay.

The fruits of 2019's labor.

Yes, thank you.

Jackie quoting my comedy specials.

I just wanted to say, I feel as though, like, right now, my heart goes out to Casey Musgraves, but I feel like when a celebrity, especially really private celebrities like these two, make a statement like this, it comes really after the decision has been made and the hurt has transpired.

So I I feel like she's probably doing okay right now.

Now let's play our favorite game of who do we set her up with because Stan Twitter is convinced that like this is a result of a Todd love affair with Harry Styles because you know they've toured together and then she brought him out at her Nashville show.

They have like a long history and they have a deep respect musically for one another.

I don't know if I see it as a love relationship, but I'm definitely not opposed to it.

I have a man for her who and I think you're gonna love it.

I just need him to really be the reformed man that he says that he is.

John Mayer.

Oh my God.

That is sickening.

Sickening.

Except I feel like Casey Musgraves is too much of like a self-respected feminist to really

be with someone who has proved more often than not that he's just not it for women.

You know, he's not like, he's not like a voice for women, you know?

Yeah.

Well.

But by the way, I love that so much.

And then like, I could just hear the harmonies of

the collabs.

The harmonies.

But she does like a more low-key guy.

I don't think she'll date someone famous.

She likes a musician clearly,

who's sort of maybe

a songwriter, maybe a producer.

She's had a very strange love life now that I think about it, because she's a bandmate.

Yes, she

that's why this was so crazy.

Like, because she because it happened so fast, she was dating her bandmate forever.

And then one day they broke up.

The next day, she was.

He took his nissan Sandra, according to her song, and got the fuck out, Space Cowboy.

And then she's married five seconds later.

And so when that happens, you assume that it's the one true pair.

Yeah, and it was if she hadn't gotten so famous.

Like I'm convinced fame really ruins a lot of things.

And the level that she's shot to over the last year and a half is just so astronomical that I don't think really any marriage that started before it could ever survive, especially when the other person is a musician.

And not to say he was jealous, but competition is an inherent part of being successful.

And I just can't imagine that it didn't cause some sort of conversation.

Like she went to the Kardashian Halloween party by herself.

Like there's just, there's, there was so much to unpack.

And all I want to do is like spend the next 10 years thinking about who she's going to date because now that you brought up John Mayer, like I just can't think of anything else.

But at the same time, you're right.

She does like someone way more low-key.

And I feel like she might be one of those people.

I feel like a lot of people find really solid Hollywood marriages when they, you know, end up with like their agent or like someone in the biz, but not like in the spotlight.

Like East Witherspoon has been married now for like 20 years to her agent.

So I feel like there's something there for sure we'll keep you posted this is devastating but again

the album is um it is coming yeah um you know what else is coming

Okay, next story, very sad news.

Nick Cordero, Broadway star of Waitress and a Bronx Tale, has died at the age of 41.

Nick Cordero, the Broadway actor who appeared in popular musicals such as Waitress and a Bronx Tale and inspired the world with his months-long struggle against the coronavirus, has died, his wife Amanda Klutz said on Sunday.

Oh my God.

He was 41.

She wrote on Instagram, quote, God has another angel in heaven now.

My darling husband passed away this morning.

He was surrounded and loved by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.

Oh my God, I mean, a lot of people have been following this story for so long.

And I think what's been so amazing about this story is like his wife's ability to never give up hope when it's like she's going through the toughest times in her life.

She has a brand new baby.

Her husband's been in the hospital for months fighting coronavirus.

And it's just, it's literally the saddest thing ever.

And I can't believe that like after all of this, that he lost the battle.

And I'm just so sad for her.

But like, I still am in awe of like her.

Her resilience and her spirit.

Like she's still on Instagram dancing for him.

And it's like, it's just, it's really like a beautiful way to deal with grief.

I'm just like so sad for her and her baby.

And I just can't believe like after all of this, like this is how the story ended, you know?

It's really sad.

It's really, really sad.

And I just, I didn't really know much about her before, but like I just like love her now and I want to protect her.

And there are so many people who feel that way.

Like I saw, he's a very well-respected person in the Broadway community and so many huge Broadway people were tweeting about it.

And there's like a fund that's been set up for them.

I think it's almost at a million dollars.

And obviously, all that's amazing, but it's just, it doesn't bring back her husband and the father of her baby.

And I just, I'm, I'm so sad.

Yeah.

There's been a lot of outreach and statements from celebrities who have worked with him.

He clearly was such a light.

That's how really everyone describes him.

And this is incredibly tragic.

It's just, it's terrible.

And,

you know, he's 41 years old.

That's just not what you expect to hear.

And it's just a reminder that life is so short and the coronavirus is a little bitch.

And everyone should wear a mask.

Yeah.

Definitely.

So I'm like really just, it's weird to feel so impacted by a story of people you don't know.

But that's what she did during this time when she was just trying to rally people to like pray for him and dance for him.

And now so many people aren't even part of their family.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, it's very sad.

We're thinking of her and her baba.

Yeah.

Next story, little mindless celeb, new relationship news.

Fabulous.

Chris Evans and Lily James spark dating rumors with late-night London pics.

Captain America.

Yeah, Chris Evans.

Yeah, knives out.

Yes.

Knives Out.

Yeah, okay.

We'll start using that reference.

Knives Out.

Also, I'm sure you saw my Instagram story last night.

I was watching The Wall, which is literally the best fucking game show.

It's on NBC.

I saw it.

I saw your thing.

This girl had to answer a trivia, and it was like,

which one of these Chris's has been in Marvel, blah, blah, blah.

And it was like Chris Evans, Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, and then Chris Hemsworth, which I knew it wasn't Chris Hemsworth.

That's like the one that I know, but it was just so funny.

He's Guardians of the Out.

No, it's not Chris Pratt.

It was Chris Evans, I think.

But whoever, you know, is writing trivia for The Wall on NBC obviously listens to the toast, and that's the moral of the story.

But Chris Evans and Lily James, maybe the newest extremely good-looking couple in Hollywood, as the UK's Daily Mail, has photos of the pair sharing a taxi late Saturday in London.

Yes, I saw.

Like, it was literally 6 a.m.

vibes, which I love.

Love to see it.

The pair spent the bulk of the evening at the Ritzy After Hours Marks Club in Mayfair, with James in a red dress for the occasion and Evans opting for an all-black suit.

Lily James is like one of the most random beautiful women.

You know what I mean?

Like, she's not really, like, super famous.

She was shot to stardom in the Cinderella movie that really just didn't shoot her anywhere besides down.

I know, I haven't recorded.

I've been meaning to catch it.

And she's just like such a strange kind of phenomenon to me because, like, she was really positioned to become like this huge star, and it just really never happened for her.

I don't know.

She's she's a moderate star.

She is Mamma Mia.

Oh, that's true.

She was in the worst movie of all time called Yesterday.

Oh, was she?

The Beatles one.

She obviously doesn't have a good radar for which projects to take because she's in things I've heard of but never seen.

I guess this also means that she can sing because these are kind of music.

Oh, that's true.

She just gives me a vibe.

Like, she should have been in Game of Thrones.

For sure.

I'm sure she's in.

You know what?

Let's look at her IMDb.

But also, just to talk about these two, I think this is a fabulous couple.

I love when beautiful people just like get together.

And they sync up and

share calendars.

And they do the work for us.

Like, I didn't have to match these two together.

Like, they just work perfectly together.

Do I think they're going to be together forever and get married and have a million children?

No.

But do I love this one night stand?

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, she was in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Wait, Pride and Prejudice, Zombies or Pride and like one movie.

One movie.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is one movie.

Oh, she's in Downton Abbey.

Oh, that's what launched her.

But see, that's what I'm saying.

I feel like there was a few years where it was like the Lily James time.

Like she was going to be it after

Downton Abbey.

And then she got Cinderella and it was like supposed to be this foundational thing for her.

And I just feel like she never really delivered in that kind of success.

You know, I need to watch that movie because

I feel like I would love it.

Yeah.

But I don't know why I've never seen it.

Well, so funny when I read this story, for some reason, it registered for me as Lily Collins.

Okay.

Which is just so ironic because wasn't she in the other Cinderella?

She was in the other Snow White.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That whole thing.

Mirror, mirror.

And then there was Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart.

Yeah.

Chris Hemsworth.

That was a weird time in Disney when they were just making two movies at a time.

Yeah, no, it's like this story has been around since like the dawn of time.

Yeah.

You couldn't have made them at a different year.

No, you couldn't have.

They couldn't have.

Okay, fifth and final story, your daily Glisane Maxwell update.

Jelaine.

Jelaine.

Jislaine.

Jelaine Maxwell has copies of Jeffrey Epstein's sex tape.

Ex-friend says.

Okay, Jelaine has been all over the news.

She was arrested.

Now the New York Post is saying she is going to sing for her supper and just give all the details she wants to know that the police wants to know just so she can get a lesser sentence.

And as many people probably know, if you watch the Jeffrey Epstein documentary, probably

the person who has the most information on this entire ring, more so than Jeffrey Epstein, I would say, is Ghelane, because she was the madame.

She was the procurator of young women.

She was the secretary of the institution.

She kept all the files.

They say that she has a written record of every, you know, powerful person who did X, Y, and Z.

And she really is the most dangerous.

Like, to me, there's so much injustice in Jeffrey Epstein not having his day in court.

But to me, the one who could really, you know,

break down the whole thing more is Ghalain.

Yes, I agree.

She's our last hope of really getting justice for these girls and for this case.

And I don't have a lot of hope as her being our last resort because the craziest thing happened, and I'm not sure if some people saw it because it was taken down.

If we share this with the class, I find this quite interesting.

The BBC released an article and immediately deleted it.

And it was an article scheduled for July 11th, 2020.

And this was on July, I think, 5th.

So obviously, it's a week early.

And the headline says, Ghislaine Maxwell moved to intensive care as coronavirus symptoms worsen.

So it has yet to be even reported that she has coronavirus.

So this

makes me question, you know, everything.

Everything, because they're obviously planning a news cycle that reports on her eventually dying of coronavirus, right?

She's in intensive care.

She has coronavirus.

This does not bode well for the success of this story.

No, no, it doesn't.

They deleted it immediately, and I don't think they even released a statement, but it's just sometimes things happen where articles get published early, and it really releases a window into like how corrupt everything is.

Like, do you remember when Sean and Camilla?

Sean and Camilla, there was like this, not just Jared, one of these places released an article, like, Sean and Camilla seen cuddling up backstage at the VMA.

No, it was like Sean and Camilla do a steamy on-stage performance of Senorita.

It was before the award show even aired.

Yes, but here's the thing.

There's two things happening.

One, it was like that publication knew that Sean and Camilla were singing Senorita.

It's going to be steamy because they're all about PDA.

So they wrote the article.

In anticipation.

In anticipation, so they didn't have to do the legwork on the day because they have a lot of articles to write during an award show.

That is a thing that publications do.

I'm sure they would have changed it if the article didn't happen to come out

and it wasn't correct.

Like say they weren't steamy or, you know, she like shot out of the cannon.

Right, they were doing prep.

Yeah, they were doing prep.

This feels different.

This feels, and like, and people, like, also some publications have obituaries written for people who haven't died yet.

Yes.

You know, but then.

And by the way, those are the craziest when like news channels accidentally run the obituary of like, they have obituaries for just old people.

They have it ready so that if the person dies unexpectedly, like they have the news on it.

It's kind of morbid, but it's just a part of the news.

But sometimes, like, those packages take a while to produce if it's a montage of someone's life, you know.

So, that's just part of their job, whatever.

This feels like a story.

This isn't the next logical step in this story.

Yeah.

That she goes to the ICU.

Of course, no.

And the BBC news, like the UK, writing it up.

It's just, it's all too weird.

She is British Ghulane.

Her father was like a media mogul, a disgraced media mogul, but a media mogul nonetheless.

A disgraced king?

Yes, literally a disgraced king.

And he obviously had very, you know, deep-rooted connections that I'm sure she inherited.

And it's just, it's all, it's all too weird and it's all adding up.

Oh, and now what's going around is this crazy conspiracy theory about Jelaney that

in the last photo ever taken of John Benet Ramsey, there is a woman in the background.

And admittedly, only half of her face is in there, but she looks a lot like Jislaney Maxwell.

And it is eerily

creepy that this young girl goes missing and Ghelane Maxwell is in the background.

I don't know if it's true.

There's no real confirmation fact checker if that is in fact her in the background of the photo, but it just, of course, gives you something to think about.

Nah, I mean, it's a funny TikTok, but it doesn't make any sense at all.

I don't know.

I'm going to choose not to believe it, but it was a funny for TikTok.

I think it's 100% possible, and I'm not, I'm not convinced.

Okay.

But also, as in regards to the BDC, like, yes, she's connected, whatever.

But, like, I thought that we're in a point right now where like no one is striving to protect Jeffrey Epstein and Galene.

Like, that's the public's message.

But again, that's why this story is so crazy is because, and that's what I didn't like about the documentary is like they didn't even scratch the surface at how deep this goes from like politicians, world leaders, celebrities, billionaires, everyone.

who was involved.

And

they can make anyone disappear.

They can make the most powerful people in the world can do whatever they want.

So it's like, this is happening all over again.

I'm telling you, like, we are going to witness something happen to Jelane.

That's crazy.

It's insane.

And it's just, how dumb do they think we are?

And it's like, they don't even care.

It's like the most powerful people in the world know that we know what they know, but they just don't want it coming out.

I don't know.

I hear you, but like, I'm just

more hopeful that the system won't fail us.

Won't fail us.

So I'm going to choose to believe in the system

and that justice will be served.

She could technically get out on bail until her trial, but she has a huge flight risk.

She has unlimited resources.

If she got out of the country, she would never come back.

She might not be able to get bailed.

Right.

No.

It's just,

it's crazy.

It's crazy.

So, anyways, the story was that she has the tapes and the tea and she's going to everything.

So they say she's going to give it up.

I have one more question about this saga that is really bothering me.

And that is, why have we not seen a mugshot?

Of her.

Jelani.

I don't know.

Isn't that weird?

Like, you get arrested, you get a mugshot, and becomes public record.

Like, why is she different?

I don't know.

Hmm.

Makes you think.

I haven't seen it.

I went searching for it.

Makes you think.

Yeah, well, we'll keep you updated all week on what's going on in the Jelaney Maxwell story.

It's just, it's honestly so crazy.

It's very crazy.

But I do look forward to justice being served.

I am very much looking forward to justice being served.

Okay, sign on, get hydrated.

TV recap, our TV movie that we assigned last week was Selma.

As you guys know, we are trying to do a better job of just opening our horizons and learning more about experiences different than ours and our history.

And I thought Selma was a great choice.

To be honest, I was disappointed in a few ways.

One was just that, why wasn't the song Glory played sooner than the credits?

Which is like, which is a thing now.

It's like if a popular artist makes a song for a movie, they just play it in the credits.

and that's not enough.

No, it's not meant for the actual movie.

It's meant for like the promotion of the movie in some way.

But you know what?

The song that they played at the end when they put the real life footage over the end of the march,

I absolutely love that song.

I need to look it up.

Like that part was so powerful.

I loved that they put the historical footage in there and kind of.

You couldn't tell which was the guy who played Martin Luther King looked so much like him.

Yeah, he did an amazing job.

Amazing job.

I liked how the movie was like obviously about the movement of selma but you also got like a little personal with uh mlk and his marriage like there was just so much going on there the other thing i didn't like about the movie was cubic jr's presence um obviously i'm very triggered by that but he was a small part in a in a good movie i think that the story is so um

So unbelievable and it's not really taught in depth in history classes in America because obviously I knew about the Selma march, but I didn't know that all that went into leading up to it.

I didn't know that they did it multiple times.

That was like post the civil rights bill.

They had the technically had the right to vote, but no one was letting them vote.

Right.

So it really was interesting.

So I think it was actually a great

piece of history to focus on.

I'm sure there's like so many movies they could write about this time and Martin Luther King and all of his work.

And I really enjoyed this movie, like from a historical perspective.

It was also so well done.

Like in the beginning, when those girls were walking down the steps of the church, like talking about

the

and then

the church blew up.

I was in shock.

No, no, first of all, like the sound like blew out like literally me and Theo both jumped.

It was just it was a very powerful way to start the movie and just that's what this whole movement was for like just four innocent beautiful children getting attacked for no fucking reason.

Like that was, I think, a great way to start the movie.

I totally agree.

What I really liked, I liked two things about the movie.

Well, I liked a bunch of things, but two things that stood out to me was, obviously,

as a citizen citizen of America, it is your right to vote and everyone should have that right and it shouldn't be so hard and it shouldn't be so expensive.

But what I really liked that I didn't even fully understand was they discussed how obviously having a vote is important, but why also why it's important is because you cannot be on a member of a jury if you are not registered to vote.

So it's like all these people, whether it's, you know, crazy Klansmen or racist cops just shooting black people in cold blood and then getting off because the jury's all white people.

So it's like, it's it's more than just casting a vote.

It's becoming a part of the system.

Yeah.

And helping and even just like voting in your local elections, voting for that sheriff who like who got voted out the next year, the second that they gave black people in Alabama the right to vote who got voted out.

Right.

It really stresses the importance of voting on for on all levels.

On all levels.

Yeah.

I agree.

Another thing that I loved was, and he wasn't really such a main character and he didn't get a little blurb at the end, but Portia Williams' grandfather was was in the movie well not him his character I meant to look up who everyone was because also I was wondering like if Giselle Sad was in there right no I'm sure that he was but um Joseo Williams was the leader of when they did the first march on Selma and Martin Luther King couldn't go yeah and those two guys led it there was like the student guy and then the older kind of chubbier guy that is Hosea Williams that is Portia Williams's grandfather oh wow isn't that amazing I know and by the way The guy who played him looked just like him.

When I was looking up old photos, I'm like, is that the, is that from the movie or from Real Selma they looked so much alike it was crazy wow that is so interesting I know very cool I thought it was a great movie um I really really liked it yeah and I think that um and I liked the way that it was done um

like the there were just like a lot of powerful moments similar to the one in the church where just like I just had to like stop and pause

um and so I thought that Ava DeBarney did a fabulous Fabulous job.

She's a fabulous filmmaker.

One more thing I wanted to say about the movie and about history, which obviously I'm not a history buff, so I didn't know, but I just think it goes without saying.

Thank you.

It goes without saying, like, LBJ sucks.

Like, of course he did the right thing at

so many fucking shitty people.

LBJ was just the worst.

Like, fuck him.

And it's like he won.

They said he was like, had one of the biggest landslides in presidential history.

I'm like, this fucking guy's a fucking coward.

And yes, he did the right thing at the end, but it was because he had no other choice.

Like, yeah, he was just like a little piece of shit and he knew it was the right thing to do.

And that's what what I took away from the movie was like, politics is such bullshit because it's really never about doing the right thing.

It's always someone's personal stake in interest of a lobby or whatever.

It's like their supporters or your donators.

Like, it just, it was really disappointing to see like so many people know that they could have the power to do the right thing and not do it because of politics.

Like, politics is just bullshit.

LBJ sucks.

Yeah, I mean, also George Wallace, the governor.

Oh, the biggest dick alive.

Oh, and then he ran for president four times and couldn't win.

Like, literally, rotten hail.

Literally.

I hate that guy.

100%.

Also, this movie had a message that's been very similar to a lot of the other stuff that we were watching which is that the fbi um is the woat and also like the way they were logging all of their activity was just so blatantly racist like they're just the way they spoke i was like damn yeah and that fbi director who's jay edgar hoover who's like it's all named after him um

and it's like shade it's very shade no it's just like history watching and going back in our history just shows you like everything's up and everyone's fucked up and

it was a great movie it was a great movie and it just really really highlighted for me, like, how politics is just bullshit.

Yeah.

Like, why is it so hard to get something done when it's the right thing to do?

Like, it shouldn't have taken thousands of people literally getting beaten and marching 50 miles and having to do it three times just to get, it shouldn't have been that hard.

Yeah.

So, and you know what?

What I've really learned from all of these movies is how creepy it is to me, how a lot of these movies are either made a while ago or about things that happened a while ago.

And it really feels like the stories could have been told today.

Like it doesn't feel like that much has changed.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

So I liked it.

I hope everyone else liked it.

And we have a great movie.

I really, really liked it.

We have a great movie for our next selection.

I thought it would be good to maybe just lighten things up a little bit and go back to a movie that honestly really impacted me as a child.

It's called The Color of Friendship.

It is a Disney Channel original movie.

I believe it is on Disney Plus for free.

And honestly, if you have kids and you are a toaster, I would really recommend you watch it with your kids.

It's just a fabulous movie about the color of friendship.

It's just, it's self-explanatory, honestly, but I remember watching it as a kid and just like loving it so much.

And I think it'll be great, like a nostalgic moment for us and a really good opportunity if you have kids to, or like younger siblings, to have them watch it.

It's a really good movie.

I'm excited.

Yeah.

That'll be great.

Okay.

I want to talk also in our TV recap about the David Foster talking about it.

Yes, I watched it last night at your request.

Very glad I did.

I probably would have watched it anyway, but I sped up the process so that we could discuss it today.

I took a few things away from it.

The first thing I took away was I really didn't realize how old David Foster was because when he's talking about like working with Jennifer Holiday, I'm like, oh my God, this man is old and he's been, and he's been successful for so long, you know?

And of course, you know about the Josh Groban, the Celine Dion.

I think we talk about Josh Groban.

Me too.

What you don't really know is like the Chicago or, you know, the Jennifer Holiday.

Yeah, like it's just, first of all, I love, I think that the documentary did an amazing job of like being like, let's put some respect on this man's name.

Like he is it.

Yeah.

And you know what?

It's like, I don't, the company that made the documentary did a fabulous job.

I have to believe that someone in there ideating was a toaster because this is what we've been striving for for years now, which is justice for David Foster.

We've been saying it since day one.

Dave,

since day one, because of the way, like, and they talk about it a little bit when he talks about Railhouses Beverly Hills, when it's like, oh, you're the guy who was on Real Houses Beverly Hills.

He's like, no, I'm the guy who's won't be able to do it.

65 Grammys.

Yes.

Also, somebody sent me a DM.

They're like, I'm listening to old episodes of the toast, like from a year ago, and you you guys literally said David Foster needs a documentary.

Is that crazy?

No, I'm telling you, like,

it was just like from our mouth to the documentarian's ears.

So that was the first part that I loved.

I also loved how much footage they had of just like old Celine moments and all these fabulous artists.

And it was just like really like a beautiful, artistically done documentary, which I loved.

Agreed.

I love the fact that they put up the Foster family chart, which has become

comic, like pop culture canon.

And that is something that you must

understand.

He also forgot to name Anwar, but they put him in the camp.

Yes, I saw that too.

Oh man.

And okay, there's so much that they want to talk about.

In regards to that moment, to me, it is so clear, like that the Fosters just

hate Yolanda.

And I think it probably has to do with the fact that maybe she didn't say it in so many words, but she let everyone think that David left her because she had munched.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

That was a total fuck up.

I'm so sorry.

I really didn't mean to say that.

That was incredibly rude.

I was just watching that episode of Real Housewives.

I'm so sorry.

Because she had Lyme's disease.

And they, like, she really let the world like turn him into a villain because of that.

And I'm sure that

they're not happy about that.

I'm also sure that some of the girls are a little resentful that Yolanda went on that show and made a star out of her daughters in five minutes, while Sarah and Erin have been working in Hollywood for years.

They had barely famous, like they've been working on

in the industry for so long.

And like Yoana just shows up with her two kids and like overnight it's a success.

Yeah.

I went to bed last night wondering if Gigi and Bella would be who they are if not for the Real House Size of Beverly Hills.

And up until this point, I always said that they would have been.

Like I didn't even think about how it might have helped them in any way because it was just sort of like, it just seemed like good timing, but...

Now I'm unsure.

No, I've always thought that the Real House Size of Beverly Hills was an integral part in the making of two major mega supermodels.

And they probably would have become successful regardless just because they're beautiful and from a very rich, well-connected family.

There are plenty of like rich kid models.

Delilah and Amelia.

Yeah.

There's a ton of people like that.

Yeah, but also they have Real Houses in Beverly Hills.

But I guess they also had it because there are Delilah and Amelia and they're not Gigi and Bella.

Right.

So it's a mixture of things.

Yes, but it definitely played a part.

So to me, what I really took away from the documentary is just like this kind of hatred for Yolanda, even in the way they just spoke about her very

calmly, but very rudely, like when the younger sister, Jordan Foster, was like, and, you know, my dad was okay with her being on the housewives because, you know, he wanted her to have a job, which was just like, holy shit.

Like, they just, there's obvious like hatred there.

Oh, for sure.

For sure.

But I think that they were as respectful as they could be.

You know, they didn't harp on it.

They didn't talk about her out of context.

So.

But I forgot about the Princess of Malibu.

I know.

And I had obviously never seen it.

And like the fact that David is such an integral part, like yelling at everyone the entire time.

Yeah.

Was really funny.

and i actually would have thought that that would affect his career in a negative way because it seems like it was kind of a shit show right and so what i took away from the documentary was like david is actually very self-aware and he knew like even just kind of quote-unquote slumming it in reality tv like was not going to affect his career.

Like would DB Wonder still want to work with me if I was on the Real Housewives of the Beverly Hills?

But you know what?

His talent speaks for itself.

And I feel like at the end of the day, like nobody cared about anything when it came to David Foster other than the fact that he made great music for great people and won a lot of awards.

And that's really all that matters at the end of the day.

But his self-awareness was really present throughout the whole documentary, especially when it came to talking about his multiple marriages and like his relationship with his kids, which seemed like there was a lot of resentment and that maybe hasn't been unpacked.

And I'm curious what the drama was at Erin's wedding that like Catherine had to get involved.

But it did feel weird for him to talk so much about running and getting comfortable and then running again while also acting like Catherine was like the end-all, be-all.

And it was just like this weird underlying question for her.

No, but it was also this self-awareness to be like, I'm not going to pretend like I'm not, I'm done running because that's who I am.

But I also, it seems like he's treating things differently in this relationship and that Catherine is a completely different sort of partner.

Yeah.

And I think that they're so well matched.

And I think we've always had a little ship for them, nothing big, maybe a canoe.

Well, at first we were definitely confused just because of the age difference.

For sure.

But now it's like, I really, and I started looking at her on Instagram and sort of watching these videos they've been putting out during quarantine.

And I totally, I really get it.

Also, they put in some footage from the wedding and like, what a stunningly beautiful bride.

I think one of like the top 10 most beautiful rides I've ever seen in my life.

Agreed.

Like,

shook to the motherfucking core.

Just a beautiful wedding, beautiful dress, her body, like everything was just

sickening.

Sickening.

Also, what I like about David Foster is he's obviously a genius.

He's so beyond, like, talented.

Everything is incredible.

Put it in a blender, mix it up.

And he doesn't even pretend to be humble about it, you know?

Like, and I appreciate that because what do you even mean?

Oh, wow, it just sort of happened.

I kind of do too.

Like, I just sort of appreciate the matter of factness when he's like, I'm great.

Yes.

And I feel like in order to achieve certain levels of success, you have to be confident in your own abilities.

No, but at a certain point, like, if you don't think, if you've won 16 Grammys, nominated for 40, some of the biggest songs of all time, and you can't say, sit there and say, I'm great, then you obviously don't know what you're doing.

Yeah.

I really loved like the little nuances and the little stories about such big moments in pop culture.

Like, honestly, I didn't even know that David Foster did the bodyguard, I Will Always Love You, and like, what went into that?

And they got Clive Davis.

They got everyone in the documentary.

Fucking Bill Clinton was in it, which was the weirdest thing ever.

But I just loved those little stories about like decisions made in a moment's, with a moment's notice that created this huge moment for pop culture.

I just, I loved all those little stories.

Now, I have one problem with the documentary and with...

David Foster's career in general.

And I just feel like he really,

he made a big mistake with Michael Boblet.

Like, I, I, and you know what?

I don't dislike Michael Booble.

I've actually been to his concerts and I think they're phenomenal.

But, like, to me, he is just like a glorified Vegas showman.

He's a Frank Sinatra impersonator.

His biggest song ever is a cover.

Like, I don't know.

I just, I didn't, I didn't see,

aside from having just like a really good voice, which a lot of people have good voices.

Like, I don't really see what David Foster saw in Michael Booble.

And I feel like maybe that was like a bad year for David Foster.

Cause like, I just, I wouldn't put Josh Grobin on the same pedestal as Michael Booble at all.

No, I don't think that he's meant to do that.

I don't think I would put either one of them on the same pedestal as Celine Dion.

But what he did with Michael Booble, it doesn't matter whether you think he's good enough or not.

Like, he created a whole genre of

music that people want to listen to who aren't done listening to Frank Sinatra and want new stuff.

Michael Booblay is incredibly talented.

Yes, I mean, I liked him.

Up until that video.

Me too.

Seeing him in the documentary at first, I was just like a little.

He's off such creepy people.

I was just like a little shook for sure.

I just,

but then we got to it.

I had no idea that David Foster discovered him.

You know, I didn't like know it, but when it happened, I was like, oh, that makes sense.

Yeah.

I also love that David Foster is a Canadian who supports other Canadians.

Yes.

He's always driving 100 miles to.

Oh, I'm sorry.

The craziest part of the documentary was the car accident.

I know.

I mean, first of all, I obviously didn't know about that.

And so when the story was being told, I'm like, this is incredible.

And then when it turned out to be a very successful comedian who he had hit, sorry, not comedian, musician, who he had hit, I was like, holy shit.

And then it turned out to be like a life-saving hit.

Right.

The guy had had some sort of hematoma and was wandering in the street at 7 at 6 a.m.

or 2 a.m.

Actually.

It was an unbelievable story.

That's what I mean.

Like David Foster, the documentary was great because he's obviously like a well-known guy for certain parts of his life, but he's really lived a long life and has so many successes and triumphs and trials and tribulations.

And I just thought it was a perfect subject for a documentary and a very well-done documentary at that.

Yeah.

Let's talk about Josh Grobin.

I absolutely love it.

I have had a crush on Josh Grobin my entire life, and I guess I'd never really seen him talk on film.

Yeah, um, kind of weird, yeah.

And then, when they showed like his catalog of works, they showed that cover, the album cover.

It's like black and white, and he looks like a different man.

Oh, with the beard, he looks so handsome.

Yeah, and I'm like, that's not the guy in the chair.

No, there's two Josh Grobans: there's one who wears glasses and lets his hair grow out, and then there's like snatched Josh Groban with a beard and like he kind of looks like he lives in Brooklyn, and he doesn't wear his glasses, and his cheeks are very tight.

Yeah, so I was just like shook and now I just think of Josh Gerbin completely differently.

Like no, I do not see him with Katy Perry like I once did.

No, he's very nerdy and like you can even tell in his in his commentary in the interview part of the documentary, he was kind of weird.

Honestly, like,

yeah, no, I don't see him with Katy Perry at all.

I see him, honestly, when he was dating Kat Dennings, like, that was perfect.

She's also like kind of weird and like in her own

Casey Musgraves.

Wow, that would actually be sickening.

Yeah, but I think she's like a little too cool cool for him.

I know, but she could like, she could raise him up.

He needs like a regular girl.

I mean, the story of like how he got to where he is and how that I didn't know that he was just a standard Bocelli, and that's how he was discovered.

But the way that Celine Dean kind of nurtured him just made me love her so much more.

I know.

Josh Groban is an incredible talent.

I absolutely like.

It's crazy.

And what's also crazy is that David would be like, I have this artist.

We're putting out this album.

Put it out now.

It'll sell 50,000 copies.

But to to me David Foster is very like B2B not B2C like he doesn't up and this was before really social media so it's not like he had this fan base so how did he get so much influence in sales and consumers like were people following just the work of David Foster I don't know but I do think when someone became big in his sphere it was that it was like a company like Celine Dion would leverage a voice like Josh Groban like it was this sort of family yeah definitely but I just thought I was wondering how he could,

I don't have so much consumer influence when he's very much on the industry side.

Yeah.

No, that's true.

And how he knew,

he was all about making the music, but then he also knew it would sell 50,000 units.

Wow.

Yeah.

So I just, I thought that was an interesting tidbit.

Also, when he was like, doesn't want to be in the studio now because he doesn't think he

is capable of being in the room with Lady Gaga.

Like, I actually think they would be fabulous together.

And to me, like, that was a dumb statement because if he really knew anything about Lady Gaga, he would know that they're very similar.

Like she knows everything.

Yeah, like she went on the road with Tony Bennett.

Like they're more alike than they are unalike.

I actually think a Lady Gaga David Foster album could be just the thing that this year needs.

But when he said that he would have worked on Starsborn in a heartbeat, like that's also what Starsborn needed.

Yes, of course.

I was actually shocked that he didn't write shallow, you know?

Yeah.

Also,

like I under, he used the wrong reference when he meant Lady Gaga.

Like he could have said like BB Rex.

That's who we meant.

And by the way, I hate that I always use BB Rexa when I'm talking about generic pop stars because I actually love BB Rexa and I think she's so talented and we met her and she was so nice.

And I really only have good things to say about her.

But I mean like Ava Max, you know, like I need like a different name because I love Bibi Rexa and actually respect her.

And I feel like every time I like make a joke about pop stars, I use her name and I want to stop doing that.

Yeah.

But you know what I mean when I'm Megan Trainer.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

But actually, she's also Megan Trainer.

She's so talented.

He's a very talented songwriter.

I take it back.

I mean like,

I'll come up with one.

Yeah.

Also,

I was just thinking about how David Foster should definitely be on Songland.

Of course.

Also, what I thought was interesting is that I was looking at some of the songs that he's written and a lot of the songs that he's worked on.

His writing credit is Linda Thompson.

So she's also like a songwriter.

She's credited on some of the biggest songs that he's written.

So I just thought that's a good thing.

She's just cashing in.

Yeah.

I wonder what it seemed like they had a nice life.

Yeah, to be honest, it doesn't seem like he has that much.

Like, he doesn't have a terrible relationship with his ex-wives, but I did think it was really interesting how he said his really, his regret when it comes to his marriages is leaving Rebecca, who I think is Erin and Sarah's mom.

Yeah, I agree.

Because that is, to me, when I think of like the Foster family, I think of,

obviously, like Sarah and Aaron and Jordan.

Yeah.

Also, I love the transparency around wanting to be an egot.

Yes.

And now David Foster is working on three Broadway productions.

Love to see it.

Unclear if I will be seeing it, but.

Right.

Bad time to transition to Broadway.

It's true, but it gives also him a lot of time to work on what he's working on i really hope

i really hope that tea comes down for him yes the the weirdness with the elevators was so interesting and honestly i've heard that from a lot of very famous people that they just don't take elevators and i think the way that i see it is like a lot of people who shot

shoot to stardom grew up at very simple lives like small towns and if you grow up taking elevators like it's not a big deal but if you're an adult and you're really thinking logistically like i'm gonna get in this moving box this is actually very dangerous like the older you are i actually understand not wanting to get into an elevator but if you're a kid who took elevators all the time it's like not a big deal you're kind of desensitized to it but it's something i've seen with a few famous people that i think is very interesting that's how i feel about driving a car exactly like the older you get actually the more scary it is and the less likely you are to actually do it yeah I agree.

That was interesting as well.

The last thing I want to talk about is I watched this movie Desperado on Netflix.

It's a Netflix original.

It's like, you know, they're releasing just like shitty content.

And it's like these three best gal pals.

Add a camp was in it.

And that guy was in it who is just like the guy in every bad movie.

He's the guy from Duff.

His name is Robbie something.

Oh, yeah.

He's actually very handsome.

Okay.

Yeah, no, Robbie with an A.

Yeah.

Duff Robbie.

Robbie ML.

Yeah.

It was just like such a bad movie.

It was two hours, but it was also like kind of good.

I don't know.

I would love to hear what everyone thinks about it.

There was like so much CGI in it.

It was so strange.

Like they were in Mexico and there's like this scene where like a dolphin like literally comes up and like like dick slaps her.

It makes it's literally the dumbest thing ever.

But it's so strange because it's, it was so poorly done.

CGI.

It was like literally, it was, it was the weirdest movie.

It took me two days to watch it and I really like did not like it.

But also sometimes I was like,

it was really weird.

I don't know if I would recommend it, but it did, you know, fill up some time in my day, which is all you can ask for when it comes to quarantine.

Very interesting.

Maybe I'll check it out.

I have so many things to watch.

I just like, I don't even know where to start.

The kissing booth trailer has I saw.

You know what I was thinking about so strangely when it comes to the kissing booth is the kissing booth came out before to all the boys I love before, but we've already seen the sequel of to all the boys.

We haven't even like, we just saw the trailer.

There's something so weird with kissing booth, like between the Jacob Alordi and Joey King of it all.

And like literally, it's been two years.

I watched the first kissing booth in my old apartment on 32nd Street.

Wow.

Isn't that weird?

Yeah.

It's just, there's so much weirdness there.

It's like, why bother now?

No, I mean, it was a great movie, and I'm sure the sequel will be great.

And I'll look forward to adding it to my list of things I'm never getting to.

Yes, exactly.

And on that note, that's all she wrote.
