I Love Your Dance, Stars: Wednesday, September 17th, 2025

Good morning, girlies.

It's the toast.

It's Jackson Claude, and we're your hosts.

It's your favorite show, the fast-five things you need to know.

We'll start your day off swirly.

It's the toast.

I sound amazing.

Welcome back to the toast and happy, what is it?

Wednesday.

Wednesday.

Wednesdays.

Wednesday.

Okay.

Like, it's not what I was hoping for when I said what day is it?

I thought maybe you were going to say Thursday.

It's the day of the wednes, of the wedness.

Let's just move on from that.

Yeah, I really didn't mean to start out on a negative note, but when the world around us is so negative, I can really only do so much.

Yeah.

So let's just like leave that there.

Do what we do, which is spread joy and light.

And get us into that latter half of the week.

Let's get that latter half of the week energy going.

Let's get it rolling.

Oh, it's my wedding wedding anniversary.

Yeah, you wish me a happy anniversary.

That's fine.

I actually was chuckling because you posted on social media a clip of the song that Zach wrote me and you posted it right now today.

And I'm like, happy anniversary, coaches.

Here's a song for your sister.

Correct.

I'm never not thinking of you, even on a day that like should be about me.

But yeah, it's my anniversary.

Not a big deal.

Happy anniversary, Mazel Tov.

Such an amazing feat.

Eight years strong.

Yeah, you know what?

Actually,

I talked about this on the toast, but like, you guys know, like, a running joke is that, like, I absolutely hated my wedding because I was like so fat and ugly.

And it's just sort of like a

fun fact about me, you know, I hated my wedding.

And I've actually done like a total 360 on it.

You classified one story that alluded to this.

That's how I know that you've done a 360, and I was happy to see it.

But, but walk us through those feelings.

I did a Q ⁇ A and somebody asked me something about my wedding.

And it was the first time I recognized.

I was like, wait, no, I don't hate.

It's part of my story.

Like, yes, I'm so weight obsessed.

I'm like sick in the head.

I hate my former fat self.

Like, you guys know this is something I struggle with.

I'm sure you're tired of hearing about it.

And I really let that infiltrate like hatred of my own wedding, you know, especially like.

Also the mole on my face, which I really didn't want to mention, but it bears repeating, you know?

So somebody had asked me a question on my Q ⁇ A.

It was the first time I didn't have this like visceral reaction, like, oh, I have to go scrounge up a wedding photo.

It was like, oh, let me go down memory lane.

And I think maybe it's the birth of my son.

You know, he wouldn't be here if it weren't for that moment, if it weren't for that mole, if it weren't for that big fat ass.

So I don't know.

I just like, I don't hate it anymore.

That ass that got the guy.

Right.

And we were so little.

Like

you were in a rank, like, and you were just a different girl.

Like, maybe you and Ben wouldn't have connected in the way that you did.

1,000%.

So thank you to that girl for this boy.

1,000%.

On your story, you put it very sweetly.

You said Ruby's Origin story.

Yeah.

No, it's so cute.

Like I really have no problems with it now.

I love looking at photos actually so much so that I'm really crazy.

I never even had my wedding books made because like I really did not like the way that I looked.

And over the summer, I actually contacted my wedding photographer and I was like, hey, remember me?

I got married eight years ago.

I'd like my books now.

I'm ready for them emotionally.

I too am getting the itch six years on to make a wedding book, mostly so that my kids can look at it.

Cause even when we went to a wedding last weekend and then we were telling them about our wedding and then they wanted to look at like pictures from our wedding so we like had to show them on our phone but i'd love to just like give them a book that they could look at so i i feel ready to make a wedding book now it's too hard to do right after the event like you're too close to it you're too close to it it's like it's so much drama it's like when you're done with your wedding it's like i don't want any part of that i don't want any more work associated with the wedding yeah i feel like after six years i have recovered yeah

i could enjoy the bookmaking process and i could also ask our fab we had the same photographer anthony Vasquez, fab, best in the biz,

like, could you just choose the pictures?

Like, you know, the family members, like, choose the highlights, you know, like, I don't want to get so in the weeds because then it's like, well, I need one where I did my soft smile and one where I did my teeth smile.

Like, I just choose too many pictures.

I had a book made for photos from Ruby's Briss, where I obviously, like, looked like the worst version of myself eight days postpartum.

I'm like, I didn't even care.

And that's what really gave me the itch to start making books.

I make books now as well for like big events or like family trips.

And so that we can like look at the books after for the kids' birthday parties.

And I love them.

And now it's like I'm a human being who has my shit together when I have like so much stuff going on and now I have time to make books.

But when I had nothing going on back in 2019, I had, I had no time to make a wedding book.

I just feel like photo books are making a return.

Maybe that's my personal experience.

I think that's our

growth journeys.

It's just like so crazy how I couldn't do it then, but now I will.

Speaking of journeys, Jaggie and I both, yeah, that's right.

Jaggie joined, started our Dancing with the Stars journey last night.

We tuned in for two hours of cable commercial fun.

How do you want to, are we doing a TV recap?

Is there a story?

It wasn't a story, so I think TV recap at the end, or I could make it a story, but I don't.

I want to make it a story because it's going to be chunky.

Okay, I don't want to like bore, maybe the fifth story.

I don't want to bore the people who didn't watch.

Even though what I'm gathering is like everybody watches the show.

If I watched Dancing with the Stars last night, like they're doing something right.

Like, I was sat killed the lights.

I was like, look at this.

How have I been missing this also what's so crazy is we went to the set of dancing with the stars when we did fun fact like when you're on dancing with the stars they ask you to like bring any famous or influential friends that you have to come sit in the audience as your quote friends and family well you guys have like new people every week too Right.

So like by the 11th week, Lauren Elena had run out of famous friends and she invited us.

And it was actually so much fun.

We weren't like, we didn't know enough about the lore, but it was still just like a fabulous fun thing.

And Lauren crushed it.

She made it really, really really far that season.

So yeah, we were like, we're with Lauren.

Yeah.

No, shouts out to whoever is in charge of this season of Dancing with the Stars.

You've done something right because it's on everyone's radar.

The fact that I was sat, I was so aware of it all night.

I was like, oh, it's 7.30.

I guess the Dancing with the Stars start today.

And like by 8, I was sat and the boys were down.

And I was like, okay, yeah, I'll watch.

Sure.

And I love dancing.

I love like showing.

I love the greatest show.

Like, it's very like.

performance and I really like that stuff and it's it's very high quality and they're such great dancers especially when the pros do their thing.

Like, I'm really the perfect candidate to watch it.

You are.

And my concern of like ABC abusing my time, so many commercial breaks, so much like fake packaged corny shit.

I actually was pleasantly surprised.

It's because there's a lot of contestants and I'm sure the later we get on in the season, it gets really fillery.

But last night, you know what?

I had an A-plus experience and I have so many thoughts on the dances that I can't wait to share.

Oh my gosh, we're going to go dance by dance.

I also just want to say like

the idea that they have to like do a sideline interview after they've just danced their hearts

and by the way they have to run upstairs they can't speak they're out of breath they have dry mouth and like julianne who has boundless energy and hasn't just danced like is expecting them to say anything that needs rejiggering that part of the show needs rejiggering a thousand percent at least at the bare minimum make that little lounge area where everybody waits around like not up a set of stairs yeah and like everybody in the back just has to like stand there and smile for a few hours like it's i felt bad for alex earlier they kept putting her like right in the center and she was just like teasing teasing.

No, it's really crazy.

So, and that needs work, but other than that, we had a great time, and we'll recap it in the fifth and final story.

Sounds good.

Um, I spent my evening at the at the mikveh.

I know you did.

So, for those who don't know, mikveh is a Jewish sort of sanctuary.

It's not like

yeah, it's not like a synagogue, although some synagogues have mikvahs.

Oh, you probably know what a mikveh is if you've seen sex in the city where Charlotte converted.

It's like it's kind of like a baptism, it's like the water you dunk in to convert yourself.

You go for a bunch of reasons.

And

last night I went, it's a very common reason to go before you get married.

And our swirly, Margo, not us, right?

is having her wedding this weekend.

So she went and all the girls come and you like celebrate and cheer and eat candy.

And then if you're single, like you dip your feet in to get like a little bit of the magic water.

So all the single girls were like running around barefoot.

It was really cute.

And then I ran into like a million toasters like in the lobby.

In the mikveh?

Yeah.

So if you're a practicing modern Orthodox woman, you go to the mikveh once a month.

It's like synced with your cycle.

It's all about, you know, fertility and things like that.

And so I saw a couple of swirlies, I think, just finishing their periods.

Or getting married.

Or converting.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, that's fun.

It was really sweet.

I went to the mikveh in a minute.

It was so beautiful.

And it's very party.

It's like a spa because you have to go and you have to get super clean.

You're not allowed to wear nail polish because the water like is super, it's like a natural spring water or whatever.

So you have to.

You have to be all the way stripped down.

When the bride came out of like her little bridal suite where you take a shower and you take your nail polish off, she was bright red.

She had like scrubbed every inch of her body, soaking wet hair.

She looked great.

So yeah, I went to the mikvah.

Very beautiful.

Yeah.

Very beautiful experience.

Did you do any sort of ritual bathing last night?

No, I mean, I took a shower.

I made a salmon, so I felt really proud of myself.

My chef was out of town last night, so I had to cook my chef trout.

So I cooked for like myself and the, and the family, and I made salmon, so I felt really proud of string beans and couscous because I'm like so healthy.

Ever since the Hamptons, like seriously, call me Gwyneth Paltrow.

I'm so fucking healthy.

I want to say something.

What?

You don't like couscous?

And I hate to say it because it's actually an Israeli dish.

And on the box, it said, like, Israeli style pasta.

And I was like, oh my God, they're supporting Israel.

Yeah, like 100%.

Everyone go out and buy couscous.

Having said that, it's disgusting.

I love it.

That's disgusting.

I take that back.

I'm sorry.

I had the, I didn't have the little, like, tiny microscopic yellow balls.

I had the bigger brown, the bigger, the larger off-white creamy balls.

Okay, those are better, but like yellow couscous.

Let's talk about like the really tiny couscous.

I just want to say what I have was basically pasta balls.

Israel, like that is not the vibe.

It's really not good.

Sorry, no, it's not even not good because it doesn't taste bad, but it's like, it's obviously used as a dish where you would use like rice or pasta or orzo something like that.

And of all the ones, I'm choosing couscous dead last.

I don't know.

I was calling to me, and I got the pearls, not

the pearls are better than like the tiny beads.

Yeah, and the pearls kind of taste like orzo.

The kids were like, what is this?

I'm like, you'll eat it and you'll like it.

Literally, Miss Hannigan.

Kayla loved it.

She loves couscous.

Okay, like, love that for her.

She obviously doesn't know any better.

No, the pearls are good, Claudia.

And I cook them plain, like olive oil, salt.

I feel about couscous the way I also feel about orzo.

It's like a blend.

Is it a rice?

Is it a pasta?

I don't really like orzo.

Anytime I've had orzo, it's been disgusting, except over the summer in the hampins.

I did have like this corn orzo.

This corner.

It was fucking amazing.

I like orzo because you could also like make it healthy.

I actually had orzo with my lunch yesterday.

So I'm just loving all shapes of pasta right now.

She's non-denominational when it comes to pasta.

Being committed to a wellness journey.

And then I had a doctor's appointment.

And you know, when you sometimes are just there on the wrong day and it takes

a millennia.

Oh my God, all the pregnant ladies in the waiting room were chit-chatting.

Oh, we had our feet up.

We were cackling.

Oh, that's funny.

I didn't, I couldn't relate to that because I was like close personal friends with my doctor during my pregnancy where like I got special treatment.

He never made me wait, Dr.

Fox.

So I actually don't know what you're talking about.

I never experienced that pregnant camaraderie.

Sometimes things get backed up, but you also,

you know, think Hashem, like we weren't high risk.

We're like, you have a lot of stuff.

You have like a lot of things to do.

I had a lot of things to do.

So

what?

Raguchi?

Yep.

Yep.

What else did I say?

They haven't commented on my weight loss yet.

They haven't?

No, I just like.

Did you get weighed?

No, I actually get weighed today.

I wasn't at the weighing one yesterday.

I'm going to the weighing one today.

And I just like wonder if they're going to notice that I'm like getting some.

Maybe they're going to tell you to start like eating a little bit more.

I actually don't know how much I weighed up until this point.

So I don't, maybe just the whole time I thought I weighed so much more than I did.

That's a best thing.

And I've been like tracking just normally and I didn't even know.

There's nothing better than being normal.

That's what you find in pregnancy.

Like you just want to be normal.

Yeah.

Every appointment, like the skin.

Every.

You don't want to be

good, but right in the middle with everybody else.

Don't look at me.

I don't know what.

I don't don't know a thing.

What's it from?

Chessie.

Don't look at me.

I don't know a thing.

Of course.

Oh, Chessie was out dancing with the stars.

Did you see her?

Yes, it was a very chessy-coated evening.

Supporting Meredith Blake, did you wear your finest button down in support?

No, but you did today.

No, I'm wearing a

piece of toast merch.

I know, but it has the buttons.

It's chessy influence.

It has a chessy flair.

She would love it.

Not to be like so annoying and like contrarian, kind of like you.

There's not a single button on this shirt.

no and it doesn't go down all the way this is like an iconic piece of toast merch that's sold out instantly it's pretty cool it's pretty cool what's that from

snl

vanessa bayer we quote it's we quote snl i'm pretty sure like vanessa bayer used to do a skitch like making fun of miley cyrus and she'd be like oh yes

vanessa bayer's funny um it's there's so many like references that are a part of our everyday life even not like from the show like from when we were growing up.

Like, and it's hard to remember that some of them are references, not just like things we made up.

No, I know.

We need to take it in it.

Like, if we try and like stop every time we do a reference and like just figure out, originate it.

Yeah, if you hear something, say something.

Well, that's from the MTA.

Correct.

They ate down bad with that one.

Okay, let's get into the stories because as we said, we have a chunky chunkster for you.

So without further ado, dad, doo dad do, Here are the fast five stories that you dad do need to know.

I was going to say title, but then people would think chunky chunksters.

It's just us talking about ourselves.

But it's just what we do here.

Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Vivrelle, the members-only club providing members access to borrowing designer handbags, jewelry, watches, and diamonds.

So it's the Vista Collection.

It's their first ever crack at leggings, which actually didn't realize that they didn't make leggings up until recently, which is so crazy, because all of their materials are really buttery soft, and that's the energy they're bringing to their leggings.

High-waisted, my pants right now are up to my nipples.

Like if you're not making leggings or like yoga pants that go all the way up, please don't bother.

They're supportive, but they don't compress.

So they don't make you nauseous.

They hit the very rare balance between structured and flexible, so they're not sliding down, they're not cutting you off in the wrong area, they're flattering.

They come in three different colors: black, flag blue, which is more of like a purpley blue color, and a soft green that's really perfect for this time of year.

They didn't stop there, they also created matching items like a matching bra top and a layering piece.

So you can throw on a full set with a half zip if you're hopping on a flight, having a low-key day, if you're actually working out, which I know some people do wear at leisure to work out, some of us don't.

you know, I've heard about postpartum hair loss.

I actually hadn't experienced it.

And then people were like, it's really the third or fourth month.

I saw a lot of hair.

I was like, like, oh.

It's time.

The time is now.

right he's seriously seriously like, he could be bought.

One thing I like about Jimmy Fallon is like, he could seriously be bought.

I feel like he like doesn't care.

When Colbert got canceled and everyone was like rallying for Colbert, saying it was like a political attack, the next day, Jimmy Fallon had like this huge Republican on.

And then last night he was singing this.

like actually embarrassing song about Belly Conrad and Jeremiah.

Like there's nothing this man won't do to keep his show on the air.

And I actually applaud him for it, honestly.

Well, going on New Heights is a good place to start.

I think he's promoting, I saw a commercial for his new marketing show.

Remember, we talked about it a few months ago.

On brand with both St.

James.

I think I sent you the trailer.

I had seen it already, yes.

And so I think like they're revving up promotion for the show.

And so he went on New Heights and he's asking some of the important questions, asking if they started wedding planning.

Travis.

And you said that Jimmy and Taylor are like good friends.

Yeah.

Travis, actually hysterical, said that's the next step.

That's the next step in it all.

And Jimmy said, don't stress about it.

I remember thinking about it with my wife.

Travis said, that one's going to be easy.

I just got to, I just got to figure out how to win a football game first.

He said, the wedding would be easy compared to how to fucking catch a goddamn football.

Because I guess I saw him catch a ball on Sunday night's game, but I guess he missed a very important catch in the end zone that would have like meant the Chiefs won the game.

And that's the second game in a row that he did that.

So at least he's like poking fun at Travis self, but he's not like slaying in the way that I thought he was.

Okay, I need to talk about Travis.

I forgot to tell you this.

I'm sure you don't know.

Do you know about Free 4?

What was that?

Free 4.

Free?

Free 4.

Okay.

So I actually fell down this rabbit hole last night.

People are mad at Travis.

Yeah, people are mad at Travis.

And like, I actually agree with them.

So there is this drama.

I'm sure you didn't hear about it, but there's a player on the Chiefs.

His name is Rashi Rice.

And he

was driving 120 miles an hour in his Lamborghini.

And he caused this like six-car pileup.

He drove away.

He didn't call the police like really bad.

And he ended up kind of getting a slap on the wrist.

I think he got like

a couple years of probation, $135,000 fine.

I am familiar with that story.

It's a multi-car crash.

Yeah, it was really bad.

I'm sorry.

He also owes a million dollar settlement to the clients.

And he also, so that was like, there were a couple of legal repercussions.

I feel like he might have had to serve like 30 days in jail.

I can't remember.

And the Chiefs or the NFL, I'm not sure who, suspended him for six games.

Like, you know, you can't act like that.

Whatever.

His name is Rashi Rice.

I guess he's number four.

And then Travis and like a bunch of the guys while warming up for the game are wearing these shirts that say free four, number four.

Basically, free Rashi Rice from like this six game suspension.

Did anyone die in the car accident?

I don't think so.

Not that that like changes what he did, but just want to know.

So by the way, the suspension was from the NFL.

He received the suspension after pleading guilty to two felony charges of the crash, in which he fled the scene after sending multiple cars spinning on the Dallas Highway.

And a couple, he sent a couple to the hospital.

So, no, nobody died.

He ended up receiving five years probation and 30 days in jail.

And then he settled a lawsuit for a million dollars plus, which he has not paid yet.

Okay.

So, this is just not like the most stand-up gentleman.

Yeah.

And then Travis is over here, like, wearing this shirt, which I actually like really don't agree with.

Yeah, what?

Like, free four from the six game suspension that he has it it doesn't specify after free four there's just like a couple but it's like right now he's experiencing the six game suspension yes

that's nothing yeah no i'm not with travis on that yeah i feel like it's really weird because i don't know what the other side is but it's like not

I haven't seen it.

Like, it's kind of black and white.

Like, you did something wrong.

You're bad.

Yeah, no, no.

You're the bad guy.

The worst part was that, like, he walked away from it.

Like, he didn't, like, stop and try and help, like he caused this.

Yeah, no, it's really, really bad.

And so to wear a shirt, like that's really not the vibe.

Unless I feel like I'm missing a part of the story here.

Like, why would someone advocate to free him, you know?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Travis wasn't the only one, but he's the most famous.

Yeah.

No, and he's a role model

for the community.

He is.

Also, Jimmy asked if they were going to do DJ or band.

Or he said our thinking.

Great question.

He said are thinking about all this stuff.

He said, yeah, I think we're live music kind of people, you know, which is just like funny to say the least.

It is, but I actually feel like they would be

DJ people only because like when you're Taylor Swift, like, who's your band?

You know, are you going to have like your actual band?

Like, who plays for you?

Right.

And I could see like the chain smokers DJing.

They like to hit the clubs and listen to like DJ music.

Maybe they'll do both.

After party with a DJ, regular reception.

With a live band.

There's nothing like a live band.

You know what?

I've actually, I used to be like a little bit of a snob when it came to weddings.

I'm like, no,

band is preferred.

But honestly, I kind of feel like if I were to get married again, I would do a DJ.

When I was younger, I was always just like, DJ, I want to hear the song the way it was written.

Right, iTunes.

But then I like went to so many weddings.

And even in my own money, when their band adds so much value, like it's just off, it's, you know, gonna blow the roof off this place and then having like a dj also you know brings it back to like the you know classics but i i think a combo is great me too um back to the jimmy fallon bo st james tv show it actually looks really good it's giving like a new age apprentice yeah i would give it a shot if the circumstances are right agreed you know easy to watch at a time where i have the bandwidth maybe a tuesday night at eight o'clock That works for me.

I'm available.

So, yeah, Travis Sharon, little by little, about the wedding.

He's not really being as cagey as you would think.

So,

I mean, that's been the surprise of the century with this whole relationship.

It's like, it's been really not cagey at all, the most public thing she's ever done.

Yeah,

that's what's surprising.

Yeah.

And I guess she didn't, he didn't address Taylor walking behind that screen.

Not in what I've seen.

No.

Okay.

Are you ready for our next story?

Demi Lovato went on Watch What Happens Live is answering all the questions from Camp Rock 3, Selena, who,

everything.

And it was the first

episode of Watch What Happens Live where I've watched a good chunk of it after Andy's lost to 25 pounds.

And we talked earlier in the week if perhaps Andy's weight loss would affect his overall mood, which has really been bringing the show down.

Based on what I saw, he seemed super happy last night.

Having said that, whenever he has somebody really famous on, he doesn't catch an attitude.

He saves that attitude for like the lowbrow bravo liberties.

Agreed.

And a lot of the attitude that I've seen is sometimes you, it doesn't make it to the clips.

Like you have to watch the whole episode.

You have to see the transitions.

You have to see his

small moments.

He gives a long answer.

Like, it's in the small moments.

But I will agree, like, there is no reason for him to have been in a bad mood last night.

Like, he's looking his best.

Demi Lovato is a huge get.

I feel bad for the other person who who was angie from salt lake yeah i didn't know who that was and um

i didn't see her speak so anyways demi addresses camp rock three

and revealing her favorite song from selena's new album talking about how she's so happy for her girl engagement season um

she said that she saw that joe announced camp rock three she was pretty cagey in her answer like leaving space for the fact that like she is reviving the iconic role of mitchie um

what do you think

okay so she said yeah, like I saw Joe announced it, and you'll just have to wait and see.

So she's obviously a part of it in some way.

I've been thinking, like, how are you going to reimagine Camp Rock 3 while keeping some of the older legacy characters like Mitchie and Joe Jonas?

I feel like Mitchie

like bought the camp.

Like, I feel like she runs the camp now.

And then she, like, reaches out to her old friend Shane to come and like inspire this new generation of campers.

And then we like learn more about the campers, but it's not really about Mitchie.

And are you here for this?

Actually, based on what I've seen, it's like Joe has really been spotted filming it, not Demi.

So I feel like maybe Joe's, maybe Shane buys the camp because he's rich.

And then like they're having

Mitchie to get back in the kitchen.

Yeah.

And so he hires Mitchie like because he knows she's one of the best.

As like a director, yeah.

And then they rekindle.

They both like got divorced.

Like something happened.

And then this summer brings them together.

So like they're young, like they're 30.

So,

okay, maybe not divorced.

Yeah.

It's not like they're going to have like kids that are at camp or anything.

I guess, no.

Oh, wait, that would be cute.

Oh, they did end up together, right, in the film.

So, maybe they get married and buy the camp together?

Maybe.

I don't know.

I'll stay open to it, but it has to be like really well done.

And, like, bring in Kenny fucking Ortega or sit down.

Oh, bring in Kenny fucking Ortega.

They're just going to bring in, like,

I don't want to, like, I don't want to drag someone's name right now, but like, you know, just

James Cameron.

No, but like someone like that, like someone so serious who just doesn't get it.

Yeah, like Scorsese, I know you want a piece of this.

Scram.

Yeah.

Okay.

This is like a dumb question, but if we want to tune into Kemp Rock, like, are we watching a Disney channel?

Like, or is this like for adults?

Is it going to be on Disney Plus?

I think Disney Plus, it won't be in theaters because like it's kind of

random who would come out for it.

But it's so, this is what Disney Plus was made for.

Right, right.

And is it made for us or is it made for like a new generation i think it's made for both it's made for people our age like to watch with their kids because we rock like that movie was so good i actually re-watched it recently like in the last like seven years and it really withstands the test of time yeah really good

i'm cracking it's an exciting moment for jonas brothers for demi

She looked, she was smiling.

She has a really beautiful big smile and she could not stop smiling.

And I feel like we were talking yesterday.

Her whole album is, it's called It's Not That Deep and the whole message is like about life.

Like it's not that deep.

It's fine.

And I feel like she was really radiating that energy when she was asked about like sort of like hot button issues, like Poot.

I know there was a time where she would like be asked about Poot and she would give a whole ass dissertation about how it's like offensive to her gender or whatever.

And now she's like, oh, when I saw it, I was like, yikes, that's a bad angle of me.

And then when I found out it was Photoshop, I loved it.

Yeah.

Like, it's not that deep.

She was so light about everything when asked about Selena.

Like, she was like, I'm so happy for her.

She really seems like this person.

She's like floating almost.

And she was laughing and her laugh is like so big and it's so mitchy.

It's so mitchie.

No matter what she does, it's 20 years on and she's still mitchie.

She really has like the same smile.

She's beautiful smile.

No, the same voice.

Like it's the same person in there, which is just so crazy given everything that she's been through.

She's been through.

Yeah, totally.

Are you ready for our next story?

Little movie news because the housemaid trailer dropped.

It did.

Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Saifried.

Did you watch a trailer?

Of course I did.

Like, how did it make you feel?

Unfortunately, it made me feel right.

Like, oh, I'm right again.

I said that this was going to be given community theater.

Sidney Sweeney, I'm sorry.

And I know she's getting a lot of flack recently for like selling jeans.

And they say she's like a white supremacist because of it.

I don't believe that.

And so I hate to like pylon.

She's not a good actress.

Like, that's what we should be talking about.

Do you think she was what was wrong with the trailer?

The whole thing.

She wasn't convincing me at all.

And I expected more from Amanda Seifreed, but she was also giving like fake acting.

The whole thing was weird.

And I'm not buying the husband.

Like, I don't know.

I'm reserving.

It's just a trailer, but a trailer is supposed to be the best of it.

I know.

The trailer did not do what a trailer is supposed to do.

It did not do what Withering Heights did for me, but it might just be because I'm like comparing each still to like the moment in the book.

Even the room they put her in.

So that room, if you haven't read the book, I'm not going to spoil it, but like she comes to work at a house as like a nanny.

Or no, sorry, not a nanny.

Yeah, right.

A maid.

And they put her in this like little room up in the attic, and the room becomes like just this whole part of the book.

And I'm sorry, that room was not giving what I thought it was giving.

Yeah, that's not the way I pictured it either.

I just, I feel like, yeah, I was comparing the whole trailer to like what I know that moment is in the book.

And it's so unfortunately felt like community theater because it was just like people acting out.

So that's why it's like impossible to read a book and like the movie.

it is i feel like if you're in the business of turning books into shows or movies like pick ones that aren't popular because like the work is done for you but there's no pressure really really good but not popular but not like insanely popular people are too close to it and i just want to say i think the trailer was bad not because i'm too close to it because it looked bad yeah sorry like it didn't inspire hope what about please please please i like that sort of like stripped back spooky version of it spooky versions i like that

I did too.

And I imagine if you didn't read the book and you have no expectations, you probably watched a trailer and was like, oh, this looks lit.

Really?

I really felt like it was giving like a lifetime movie.

In a negative way.

Yeah.

But that's because we're too close to it.

Unfortunately, we can't call it.

I don't know how Jack sees it.

That's from Billy.

Going to the movies like is becoming one of my new favorite hobbies ever since I saw Downtown Abbey.

So I'll be going to see this.

Okay, great.

I'm kind of going to become like the Sandy Kenyon of the Toast News Network.

Does that work for you?

You already did that for Oscar season.

And like, oh, yeah.

It was all right, but could you see like good, like the real movies?

I mean, it's not my fault.

The Oscar movies.

Wait, no, no, don't do it for the Oscar movies because, like, we're not watching the Oscars.

Do it for the real movies.

Did you see Amy Poehler's making waves for like coming at the Oscars?

Being like, why do you never include comedies in your roundup?

Like, there's no category for it.

It's actually so true.

Like, what makes a comedy less like artistic or good than like a drama or a.

Does she mean comedy TV shows because Emmys is TV right she was talking about Oscars no comedy movies oh yeah because like some of the most iconic best movies like that we've all watched

never even got nominated like they don't get they just don't even get thought of yeah they've like started to do a little bit more of it because Golden Globes has like musical or comedy category and then I feel like with the Oscars they added that category of blockbusters so like you if you had a really popular comedy like the hangover would have been nominated for that right

right um

but yeah sure i mean when you think of like the biggest movies of all time especially also like their cultural influence like almost all all of them are comedies and we just like don't even consider them for the oscars why because they're not serious doesn't have to be serious to be good yeah it's i just feel like like girl that's your fight like it's very niche like good luck to you unrelatable but wishing you well

And I know what she's saying.

Like she's been a part of like some of the biggest movies of all time.

Yeah.

She's never been invited to the Oscars.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Good luck with with that.

Sorry that happened

Okay, well keep us posted I think housemaid comes out December which by the way, I just want to give a positive quick turnaround.

Thank you team.

Thank you Paul Feige.

Yes.

Yes.

You do deserve credit.

Oh by the way, I forgot it's Paul Feig.

And I know you guys don't want to hear this because everybody loves that movie a simple favor, but I just recently saw it.

And it's, it's also community theater.

Like it has that element.

I say community theater.

And by the way, we didn't read that book, so we're objective.

We're not close to it.

I feel like when I say the community theater element, people don't really understand what I'm talking about.

And I took a class once in NYU.

I forget what it was about.

It was like a media class all about how, like, the key to a successful piece of like entertainment media is the suspension of disbelief.

Like, you have to make me forget that I'm like in a room watching a screen where you're pretending to be a doctor, right?

Because you're so convincing that it's like, oh, yes, there's a doctor in front of me.

And when I say community theater, I mean I'm so acutely aware that I'm watching this like famous celebrity pretend to be a housewife.

Like you're not convincing me at all.

It could be well done in the sense that it's a high budget production.

And I thought actually that the music, the set of the housemaid was very beautiful.

But I was so acutely aware that this is Karen from Mean Girls and Cassie from Euphoria.

adapting a book.

Like I was so aware, hyper-aware of it.

Yeah.

It was not convincing.

No, like you see the wigs, you see the lines in their head.

You see them thinking like, oh, I need to be looking like this, but thinking like that.

Like, I could see their, their thought process.

And by the way, community theater actors are not bad actors.

They are new.

They are up and coming sometimes.

They're amateur.

They're green.

They're green.

Amateur.

Amateur, yes.

Perfect word.

No shade to community theater.

Zero.

And actually, my favorite HBO show that...

Not my favorite, but a show I liked that got canceled somebody somewhere really highlighted the importance of community theater.

I'm sorry, community theater.

Of course.

No, I'm sure.

Is community theater of New York City just like Broadway?

The theater, you know what I mean?

Like it's our community theater.

Technically, but there's also like off-Broadway.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story, number four?

What do you think?

No.

No, I don't think you're ready.

I don't know because we have like a chunky fist story.

I know, but I just feel like you can't bang on it.

Too much pressure.

We can't bang on it.

Okay.

Well, the fourth and fifth chunky stories are brought to you by Minky Couture.

It's fashion week.

Obviously, we're thinking very heavily and seriously about the most important couture brands.

And for us, it's Minky Couture.

They're the brand that are going to make you never want to buy another blanket again.

They are soft and luxurious.

It feels like cuddling with a cloud.

We hype up Minky Couture a lot, and people, I'm sure, are like, well, it's just a blanket, right?

Like, how different can it be from all other blankets?

I'm actually staring at a Minky Couture right here.

I keep one at the studio.

That's a reference from Tassover from the Huguett.

You have to experience it to really understand the difference.

It is so, you will throw away every other blanket and start replacing every blanket in your house with a Minky Couture.

So, they have a huge collection of colors, sizes, and patterns.

They're the creators of the original Hugs blanket.

It's a stretchy, plush, and double-sided blanket that basically hugs you back.

I've really never had a blanket ever ever since I got a Minky.

I have not purchased another blanket that is not Minky.

They're also really like a brand that's passionate about getting back to the community.

They've donated over 30,000 of their mini Minkies to NICUs across the country every year.

Yeah, they have toddler sizes, adult sizes, different sizes for every beds.

They also have an infant size that, if you ask Romeo, is perfect size for a dog crate.

Nobody loves Minky Couture more than Bruno.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Happy Egg, which has kind of of been like the sponsor of the moment because I've been having eggs every morning ever since Ben finally started making me sourdough.

And it's actually crazy the difference.

Once you go happy egg, you cannot go back.

So happy egg is an egg brand.

And if you ever were to crack one open, you'd be like, oh my God, there's something wrong with this egg.

It's literally orange on the inside.

Little do we know, actually, that's what eggs are supposed to look like.

The eggs in the supermarket are on like from some turnt farms.

I don't even know if I could say the word farm.

Like they're just on these turnt facilities.

They're pale.

They're almost white.

Like it's it's really not what it's supposed to look like.

If you ever see what a real egg is supposed to look like, you're going to be shocked.

High break.

Obviously,

full of life.

We can't all be like raising our own chickens.

So we have to turn to a company that we can trust.

And that's happy egg.

Egg shopping should be simple.

Happy hens make happy eggs.

If you're a trad wife, if you're just somebody who likes eggs and doesn't want to be kind of eating, like really eggs from the gutter.

Sorry.

I also, another song did come to mind, which is Happy, Happy Egg, Egg, Do the Happy Egg, Egg.

That's

Happy Dance.

That's Elmo, reference.

Oh, cute.

Okay, so

he's kind of a big deal.

HappyEgg.com slash toast.

Define happy egg near you.

I actually would agree.

Elmo's a fucking lunatic.

Elmo's a lunatic.

I forgot about his tweets.

Oh, yeah.

Elmo got hacked over the summer.

Or

an anti-Semitic tyrant.

Or are we just seeing the real Alma?

Or did he?

Makes you think.

I need to remember that next time the children request happy dance.

It's not a happy dance.

But why should your children suffer?

Our next story is a choose your own adventure.

Would you rather discuss Chris Jenner's Mac campaign or Tri-Guy, the ex-Tri-Guy who was

kicked out of the Tri-Guys for having an affair, is now separating from his wife three years after the cheating scandal?

Obviously, the second story.

No offense to Chris Jenner.

I genuinely don't give a fuck.

Okay.

Ex-Tri-Guy Ned Fulmer and wife Arielle separate three years after cheating scandal.

So everyone remembers where they were when the Tri-Guys

before.

For some reason, this like random internet drama for like this.

And I know they're big, the try guys.

They have like a huge YouTube, but they're really not mainstream.

And for some reasons, when they had like this little scandal, like it blew up.

I was like, why?

I felt forced to talk about the Try Guys.

They're like, are you going to talk about the Try Guys on the toast today?

I'm like, who is that?

It must have.

been how like other people felt about like the call her daddy sophie and alex drama that got like so big when it's like they had never heard of them before like just like right random guys you know like right right um

it just felt like that where it just everyone was talking about this like niche internet drama that just became so big.

So the try guys were three guys who would try stuff and they had like a podcast and a vlog.

And then one of them was spotted kissing their producer.

He's married.

He was kissing their producer at a bar.

He had to admit that he was having an affair.

The other try guys kicked him out of the try guys.

He really distanced himself from Ned, right?

That was him.

Yeah.

And him and his wife actually stayed together.

Yeah, she like released a statement.

It was so messy.

Like you just, you had to be there.

Like it was such a crazy time.

It was such a crazy.

That birth, the Stry Guys.

Yes.

The Stry Guys.

That's the inspiration struck for us.

One man's trash.

The Stry Guys are a reference to the Try Guys.

And now, three years on, they are separating Ariel and Ned after all of their trials and tribulations.

Well, you know what?

She tried.

I actually tried.

She try guide.

She try guide.

Like, three years, that feels like a sufficient, like, that feels right, you know?

Like, they have a kid together, right?

They have two.

And I have to give it a shot, even though, you know, infidelity is the worst thing you can do.

I commend her.

She tried.

The two,

the two kids look young, like as if they were post-affair.

Oh, you think they're younger than three?

I do.

The picture that I'm looking at lists is an old picture.

They are, they look to be three and one

or two.

I guess it's a quick Google search, but I'm just going.

I got it.

Ned Trigy.

Maybe it's an old old photo.

Yeah.

Really, really cute family.

So his kids aged.

Oh, God.

Ned Fulmer kids age.

But yeah, it's important to know whether they were pre-affair or post or during.

So he had an affair in 2022, and the kids were born in 2018 and 2020.

So they're pre.

Oh, so this is a very old photo.

There's a six-year-old now.

Yeah, yeah, that's misleading.

Okay.

Okay.

So I commend her.

I do.

Like, she's a queen for that.

She did it for her kids.

She tried, but at some point, like, you got to call it.

And that's what this is.

Yeah.

I mean, to me, it's like if you made it through all of that, like, you're rocks, like, you can get through anything.

Yeah.

But maybe they didn't make it through all of that.

At least not unscathed.

And then these battle scars, they're just too deep.

Damn.

Well, you know what?

I feel like we can finally, at least, you know, because I've been waiting, feeling like we haven't closed a circle on this.

At least the Try Guy saga has come to an end.

Yeah.

And apparently they are amicable and they will be discussing their relationship status on the debut of his podcast, Rock Bottom, on Wednesday.

Oof.

That whole sentence just gave me the willies.

I'm starting a podcast to discuss my divorce.

It's called Rock Bottom.

Rock Bottom.

I don't know what's the sadder sadder part of that whole sentence, honestly.

I just can't believe those other two fired him.

I know that was like kind of lame of them.

Yeah.

Obviously.

He was a friend.

And we did say that on, you know, when we recapped it initially, so I'm glad that our feelings haven't changed.

I feel like we talked about this with the astronomer CEO.

It's always really crazy when you have professional consequences for issues in your personal life.

Yeah.

Especially because his wife, I mean, the person he was spotted kissing was a producer.

Wasn't like an employee.

So that same with astronomer.

It was an employee.

And then you're like, that's not

approved.

So that complicates it a little bit.

But especially because his wife like forgave him.

Yeah.

And then I saw this discourse on the internet with the astronomer thing.

And something that really struck with me is like,

while yes, like, you know, your personal life has no bearing on your professional life.

If I'm like a business owner and my business partner is like cheating on their wife or spouse, like cheating is such a deplorable thing to do.

Like it does make me question your judgment in business, too, right?

Like, you're not going to start, you know,

what's burning the books?

What do you say when you like, when you like steal money?

Like,

cooking the books?

Something like that.

Like, you're just not a trustworthy person.

You're like a professional liar.

Yeah.

You know what it reminds me of actually is Tom Tom, Tom, Schwartz, and Sandoval.

Okay, continue.

Like that he stayed by his cheating business partner and then got caught a lot of feet for it.

Yep.

If he had disassociated from him, then would I be judging him like the try guys?

I don't know why I feel like I wouldn't be.

Like, you think Tom, Tom would have stayed in business if Tom had separated from Tom?

No, but like,

should Tom Schwartz have separated from him because his friend did this like deplorable thing?

Should he have kicked him out of Schwartz and Sandy's?

Right.

I don't know.

These are big questions we're asking.

That I think only the try guys can answer.

Maybe they never liked him to begin with.

Yeah, they were just like looking for an excuse to get rid of this third wheel.

They can't stop splitting it three ways.

I mean, I'm so dying to get rid of you so I can stop splitting it two ways.

But just be glad we're not splitting it three ways.

Like think of Smartless.

Jackie.

Be glad we're not splitting it four ways.

We have two other sisters, okay?

No, I know, but just think of Smartless.

I know, I know.

I know they're just like so upset they invited like Jason Bateman.

Instead of, even though I don't listen to Smartless, but it's my understanding, there's really not one of them that is like extra.

Like they really all add and provide and they're only worth the 100 mil because of all three.

Yeah, they'd be worth 66 with two.

That is genuinely how I feel.

Yeah.

So next time you're lamenting that we split it two ways, instead change your mindset and say, thank God we're not splitting it three.

Four.

Because that would be our reality.

Three or four.

We would never be splitting it three ways.

We're just like where three of us started a podcast without the other side.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying, like people split.

Yeah, no, I know what you're saying.

It could always be worse.

Are you ready for our final story, Dancing with the Stars?

Recap.

Boy, am I.

Dancing with the Stars seed in 34 kicked off last night.

Two teams tied for first after a night of dancing.

So I think we should just go through all the couples and give our thoughts on their dances.

Yeah, I'm going to pull up our chat from last night where all of my thoughts are anyway.

Oh, that's actually really smart.

I'm going to do the same.

And we literally commented on every single dance so they'll be like in order.

And if we didn't comment on the dance, it was not memorable.

No, but I really think we commented on all of them.

Right.

We text so much.

So the first was

Jordan Childs.

Oh, yeah, she was a cutie.

Although, you know, we always say that certain people have like a little

leg up.

And I would have said Jordan childles is one of those people like she has obviously rhythm because she does like dance floor routines she can move she's a gymnast and then like the lifts and the twirls and i actually felt like she wasn't as good as i thought she was gonna be like she should have been better i know it's the first week but like that's her starting point and i thought it was gonna be a little bit

better yeah and i say all of this as somebody who can't move my ass me and ben ben watched with me and he was like it's so funny every time i watch these shows i always think like oh i could do that and he's like i really could never do this like it's super hard i know i'm a slob and this is just my take yeah no i also think the memorization of the dances is what's so impressive too not just like the way you have to move but how you have to remember each step and like be in sync with your partner plus the camera that's moving around you because like the camera is integrated into their dances too when i jordan was the first dance so i was like oh okay i love your dance jordan um but now after having seen everyone's like hers was extremely unmemorable and she did not stand out from the pack whatsoever and i forget i had thought it too but whoever i think derek huff said like they just really relied on like so much of her twirls and and that's great but like you also need to dance i feel like they weren't dancing enough yeah and like if this is an indicator for like what she's capable of bringing to the competition like it's not a ton yeah she'll go halfway at this rate but she won't make the finale then dylan ephron cutie but i said this to ben and i said i always say this it's much more easy for a man to impress me in this show because they require less like they lift you'll just have to be you know strong it's So much of ballroom dancing is really like the woman is the star.

And so I feel like it's easy.

If he was a girl, I would say differently.

It's easier for a man to pass in this show and to kind of like go unnoticed, but it's harder for them to dazzle.

The women,

yeah.

The women are much more capable of being dazzling because if you're great, like to be a great male dancer, it's like we're still looking at your partner,

the female.

So

I, what I also liked about his was his routine, choreography, and song were really adorable.

And that's a credit to his partner.

Some of the partners really shined last night in terms of like some of them stunk it up to the afflex partner.

Some of them stunk and didn't give good routines, didn't give like the song choice.

Choreography.

And I thought Dylan's routine was like really cute.

I like how he started on the judge's table.

He shake that thing to milkshake.

Yeah.

And it was a great routine all around.

Agreed.

Though not like the best dancing ever.

Agreed.

Next, we had Elaine Hendrix.

Okay, so the show seems...

like unfair at certain points because like how Alex Earl is competing with Andy Richter just like from a physical perspective um isn't fair.

So I feel like my critique for Elaine is going to be like for a woman her age.

And she crushed it.

Like she, I loved the Parent Trap references.

She did a really good job.

Was she the best dancer ever?

No, but she's working with a different set of challenges, right?

And I thought she really excelled.

I thought she excelled.

I thought her routine was adorable.

I thought she moved really great.

She has a background in dance.

And I think she's a great cast.

I think she's going to

really be in the pack for a while.

And Chesse was there.

And Chessie was there.

And, you know, Lindsay Lohan is like a huge part of the Disney family now with Parent Trap 2.

I would love, not Parent Trap 2, Freaky Friday 2.

I would love to

see her

in the audience one night.

Yeah, would love.

Would love.

Whitney was next, which she was my number one going into it.

I don't know if she danced well because I couldn't see anything she was doing underneath that big dress of hers.

It was very disappointing.

I was saying to Ben, I'm like, this is the girl.

Like, I like, yeah.

And it was disappointing.

I blame whoever put her in that that terrible skirt like a girl so young and vibrant whose legs move a mile a minute i want her in underwear okay not to be a freak but like i want to see them the movement anyhow like a leotard anyone i wanted to see the movement the skirt was the worst part of the entire thing the skirt

the skirt ruined the routine if she was doing a good job under there i have no idea no but the routine like wasn't

amazing and I blame her partner for that.

Like

from the parts that I saw, she could have done so much more.

Like, she's capable.

I feel like they were really holding back.

I didn't really like any of it.

I was shocked.

She was good.

Like, she wasn't bad, but I have a lot.

I have a lot of expectations for her.

No, like, you wear that skirt when you need to hide mistakes.

Yes, yes.

And I was really

like, I couldn't see anything.

So I felt like I had a bad seat in the theater and I missed the performance with that skirt.

So that was, um, but they got the highest score, right?

Yeah, which I want to talk about the scoring when we get to Alex.

I think it's just been looking good.

Yeah.

Next, we have Baron Davis.

Baron Davis.

Cute season.

You are so cute.

So, like, honestly, I think they cast, you know, one athlete a season.

It's like they sort of have to.

And it's usually a former athlete.

And

they usually like can't, they have two left feet, right?

Like, they have no sense of rhythm.

I thought Baron was such a cutie.

I actually voted for him.

He was giving me such earnest energy.

Like, he really, and he has rhythm.

I feel like you don't have to be an amazing dancer, but to really make it in the first couple of weeks, you just need to have a sense of rhythm, right?

And like you can be able to move.

And you know, like Baron like crushes it at a wedding.

He was giving like wedding dance floor vibes.

And I thought he did so good.

He was such a hoody.

He's not going to win, but I loved his attitude.

I think when you come in as like an older person, it's really hard not to get discouraged, right?

Like you look at Alex Earl, that's like 21-year-old hot thing, and it's hard not to get discouraged because that's who you're up against.

And I thought he just really crushed it.

Yeah, he was great, adorable, like what the show was all about.

Yep.

Alex Earl, we need to take back everything we fucking said about her.

We were so wrong saying that she can't dance.

First of all, when she said in her package, like, dance was my sport of choice growing up, I was like, oh, okay, I'm sat.

She was incredible.

I loved her song, Choice, like Circus by Britney Shakespeare.

I love your song, Alex.

She's like, her life is totally circus, you know?

With that whip cracked, I was like, oh, shit, here we go.

I was.

Shocked.

So much, she makes, she's been making, you know, that you have to make like 10 Tik Sox a day.

It's like a factory in there.

And little snippets i've seen of her dancing like i just did not think she was good i thought she would be someone who would really improve over the course of the show oh my god i was so wrong she literally looked like one of the pros she was incredible i was so wrong

and this is where i don't understand the judging on this show because

she

has one of the higher scores she's in second place but like explain to me how she was worse than whitney and whitney wasn't bad by any means alex was just like light years better yeah explain it to me no whitney wasn't impressive and alex was but alex got a lower score and like

it frustrates me because i think that like the show is not a meritocracy like they give you scores based on like what they think of you versus like compared to everybody else like on a a scale almost right so it's like well this was a 10 for you but it was so two people will get 10s and they wear completely different dances Yes, but I do think like Alex and Whitney should be on the same scale.

On the same level.

Corey Feldman, like, seriously, don't give him than less than a five okay let's just even though if Alex did it Corey Feldman did she would have gotten a two correct and I think that's fair-ish um I found the judges really annoying

um like their little shtick luck like I found it so annoying and I know Carrie Anna Naba is the third and she was like out sick last night um and I think she adds even more annoying energy to the panel i'm not looking forward to her return yeah and they're all always fighting for airtime like talking over each other because it goes by so quick the show is is kind of a cluster fuck.

It is impressive.

That's kind of like the last remaining live show on TV.

Like nothing is live anymore.

And there were a couple of fuck-ups like where he punched in the wrong score.

I loved it.

It makes it exciting.

Carlton did a great job, like kind of rolling with the punches.

Julianne was very flustered.

I like that sort of chaotic element to it, but the judges really pissed me off.

Okay, well, they're like necessary as part of the show.

I don't know anyone who would be like better dance judges, so I'm just going to accept them.

Yeah.

If that's okay.

Topanga.

Topanga cutie.

Cutie.

When she was like, I just beat cancer.

This is my year of yes.

I'm doing Dancing with the Stars.

I was like, yes, Queen.

I was rooting for her so hard.

And then Ben was like, it's so funny.

When I said, when I came home, I'm like, we have to watch Dancing with the Stars.

He was like, what?

I'm like, no, we have to watch.

I'm like doing it for the toast.

And he was clearly annoyed.

Nobody had a better time watching Dancing with the Stars.

Then when we got to Topanga, he was like, it's so crazy.

Like, you know, everyone I knew and like myself included, like growing up, like we were in love with Topanga.

I was like, you were?

Yeah.

No, she's a fine girl.

And that's what everyone on the show said.

She was that girl.

And she danced to Kelly Clarkson.

So we got to hear some Kelly last night.

Stronger, which is like such a cancer anthem.

Loved it.

Next up, whoa.

Jennifer was.

Oh, she was so cute.

I will not say a bad word about her doing this eight weeks postpartum, although I think her partner really let her down.

The choreography was.

atrocious.

She's capable of much more.

He's new to the show.

He's from the era of Torah.

I know him.

He like went viral a million times, yan.

So I'm giving him a little bit of grace because he's not familiar with this program yet, but he stunk it up on her behalf.

He danced fine, but like his contributions, like his choreography, everything was bad.

It's not fair when you get a partner who doesn't really like know yet.

Know the show.

The show and like what's going to sell and what's going to be good for TV.

And I feel like she's at a disadvantage.

However, like, I feel like it's good for her social media to be paired with him because he has a good following.

So I'm sure it's like pros and cons.

She was another, like, I have high expectations for her.

I wasn't giving all the way last night, but I think she has a lot of room to excel in this field.

After that was Andy Richter, and like the whole thing just made me sad.

Like it's how he's on the same show as Alex Earl.

Like, and he also, he did a good job.

I felt like he was poking fun at himself.

He made me giggle a lot.

He's not going to go far.

One, because of the dancing, but like mostly he doesn't have like a huge social media presence.

Like people aren't calling in to vote for him.

But I really commend the effort.

It was truly an A for effort.

I liked it.

It was funny.

It was funny and cute.

And like, I

enjoyed it.

It was entertaining.

And he gave it his all.

And then we have to talk about, I literally tuned in to watch Gleb and Hilaria.

Obviously, my newfound deep-rooted hatred.

But they're going to go with Gleb.

She is so far.

She is so good.

She was amazing.

That really killed me.

She was incredible.

She's bringing in all the stops.

They had Alec in the package, Alec in the audience.

Like really,

I want to say something something bad.

Even if she gets no fan votes, like she will never be in the bottom because she has the moves.

And it's that Latin blood.

You could see it was coursing through her veins, really.

She did.

She looked extremely Latin.

She was like doing that sala side.

Like she was crushing it.

Yeah, she did.

And

I'm sorry, I can't.

I actually, I'm less frustrated about her excelling because, like, good.

you know, she's earned it.

I'm more frustrated that like he has a great partner and that he's going to be on our TV screens for a while.

And he's going to go far.

And I know for the pros, it means a lot because I think you get like a motivator for them to like do good performances and good choreography is I think you get paid per episode.

So if you get eliminated, you're not on the episode.

And I would have just loved to have seen him punished in that way.

Yeah, I agree.

Who was next?

Who was next?

I'm looking at our chat.

Yeah, I don't know.

We might have skipped some people, but let's jump to the dance of the night, which was Whitney Carson and Steve Irvinson.

Yeah.

um that was incredible he's he's up there with whitney for potential winners whitney alex and irwin and i also want to say like it was such a credit to whitney carson for that routine that song the set design the there were so many moments in the choreography that were like so fun when they were crawling oh my god i was and it was like an alligator he did really good oh sorry crocodile he did really good like he's a strong contender because he's like an able-bodied young male and he can move um but she brought out so much of what was so great about that.

And like, that's where it's like, it pays to have a seasoned, skilled pro.

Yeah.

Like she crushed, she was the best pro of the night.

Agreed.

That was such an unexpected, I almost turned it off.

I was like, there's a couple of people left and I don't really care.

Yeah, I don't like, I didn't watch Bindi win.

Right.

I don't know much about the Irwins.

I'm not Australian.

I voted for him.

I think I did two votes because I didn't realize voting ends at 10.

I was ready.

I wanted to watch all of them and then vote.

It's not fair to the last person.

Obviously, I was so surprised at that.

And I feel like anytime I've ever watched Dancing with the Stars, like sporadically, I always have that same thought where it's like, the order really does affect the votes.

The votes.

Like, how am I only literally given an hour to vote for

one person, two hours to vote for someone else, and five minutes to vote for someone else?

Like, it really sucks.

It does.

I was waiting till the end to decide how I wanted to split up my 10 votes.

And then I put in my third, and they're like, voting is closed.

I voted for Alex and Whitney.

I actually didn't even get a chance to include Robert.

I don't think it'll affect him because he's clearly like one of the top dancers.

So, you know, it doesn't really matter till the end, but not cool.

No, not cool at all.

The people that we skipped was Corey Feldman, adorable.

Adorable.

Like, not going to win, but like sweet.

And, oh, and he said, oh, he actually said something so sweet.

What did he say?

It almost made me cry.

I was like, when Julianne Huff was like, you know, you talked about scoliosis in your package.

Like, how has this experience been for you?

And he was like,

honestly, I never would have done something like this.

It has been so healing for me as an older person to like, it's literally fixing my body.

Oh, like, I'm getting so strong.

It was so sweet.

And he was like, this is the best experience of my life so far.

It was so cute.

That's really cute.

He was so cute.

I enjoyed pentatonics.

Oh, wow.

Abracadabra.

Nana.

Abracadabra.

Totally forgettable.

100%.

But he held his own.

sure.

Yeah.

And then Lauren Jiragi.

I hate her, so no comment.

Like, go to her Twitter account.

She's one of the most vile people alive.

I will not be commenting on her.

I think she's disgusting.

Yeah, yeah.

And the dance wasn't great either.

No, it was like pretty good, honestly.

But seriously, she can grab a fucking spoon.

No, I didn't like anything about it.

Agreed.

Okay, so I still feel like Whitney Liaovic could win the whole thing, but like, and maybe it's good that she's coming in from, even though she's in the number one spot, I'm the only one who didn't like it.

The judge said it was.

No, it was, it was not what she's capable of.

She literally does better dances on her TikTok.

Show me them legs.

Show me the legs.

Alex crushed.

Alex could really win.

She's a really good dancer, and she has a huge following.

Yeah.

Whitney, Alex, Alex, and Irwin are, oh, Hilaria.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's see.

But there's always somebody who makes it that's like so random in an underdog and you really didn't think they would make it that far to like the finale is the top four.

I'm trying to think like who that is.

Irwin is.

Yeah, I guess Irwin.

But also, it's like, was it the dance or was it the Irwin?

Let's see what he brings next week.

Because like he had a fire package, but you're not going to have that like every single time.

Like he can't always

do a lot of shtick, right?

To like introduce people.

Like, oh, I'm the girl from TikTok.

I'll be like,

yeah, exactly.

Oh, that was really cute.

I think they do a lot of shtick in the beginning.

And then as the season goes on, like, you have to be much more technical, much more dance focused.

And so that's where kind of like, you know, boys become men.

That dance was iconic when they were jibing.

Born to be wild.

Oh, a great song, too.

And some people's songs, like the theme was like anthems, like, what's your anthem?

Right.

And like some people

songs were really anthemic.

And like, I was feeling

and other people's was not good.

The song made a big difference.

And I thought Born to be Wild was an amazing choice.

Amazing choice.

It really was.

I had so much fun.

Yeah, no, me too.

I love watching show.

I actually wish the dances were longer

yeah but i think it's really hard to memorize more dancing i loved the uh i hope the all pros me too i hope they do that every night

i don't know if they do we'll see like just we're so new here i know but like even if it's like the same routine as last week it's like a different song with different outfits like just dance for me okay

dance for me dance for me dance for me oh oh oh oh oh oh oh that is our show y'all

y'all

y'all come back now you hear Come back tomorrow for the latter half of the week.

The energy will be so much lighter then.
