DJ JuiceBox with Xandra Pohl: Monday, November 3rd, 2025

Speaker 0 Good morning, girlies. It's the toast.

Speaker 1 It's Jackson Claude and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast-five things you need to know.

Speaker 2 We'll start your day off swirly.

Speaker 1 It's the toast.

Speaker 1 I sound amazing.

Speaker 2 Welcome back to the toast and happy Monday. I'm so excited to be sitting down with somebody who's like Gen Z.

Speaker 2 It girl, we are extremely young and and hip here at the toast, but somebody we talk about all the time on the toast because we're just sort of in awe of her. Everyone, it's Zandra.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the toast, Sandra.

Speaker 1 Oh my goodness. Hello, hello, hello.

Speaker 2 I was just saying to you offline, I cannot believe I'm seeing your hairline in person. Your hairline is so insane.
It's so straight and full. I can't stop staring at it.

Speaker 2 And you were saying that people online think it's like, you know, fake, fake. But that's.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, it's not fake.

Speaker 2 You were born with that. Show the camera.
Like, that's insane. It's so thick and straight and full.

Speaker 1 I don't, I don't know. My mom has the same thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I remember when people started like talking about it online, they were like, your hairline, hairline, hairline. My mom called me and she was like, you know, that's because of me.

Speaker 1 And I was like, oh, oh, and there she is. She made sure you knew.
Yeah. She was like, no, that's definitely not coming from your dad.
That's me.

Speaker 2 So we talk about you all the time on the toes because you're just like so cool and fun and fresh.

Speaker 2 And like when you were on Sports Illustrated and you wore that star dress on your boobs, like it was amazing. It was giving OG Kate Upton.
We're like so jealous and happy for you.

Speaker 2 And it's so exciting to be here. You know, we have a very unique audience.
We're huge with Gen Z, but a lot of our listeners are kind of anti-TikTok.

Speaker 2 So for anyone who's not familiar with you, like give everyone your little rundown, your shtick, DJ, it girl, University of Miami, like you go.

Speaker 1 Okay. Oh my gosh, this is hard.
How do I like?

Speaker 2 Actually is hard. Sorry.
That's like not a cool question.

Speaker 1 I'm like, and you talk so fast and you learn how to like get on your level. I'm like, but

Speaker 2 okay. Okay.
So you know what? When I started following you, you were still a University of Miami student. You were like getting ready to go out and DJ.
When did you start DJing?

Speaker 1 I started DJing when I was 16 years old.

Speaker 2 Damn. So like in high school.

Speaker 1 In high school, yeah. Are you from? Ohio, Cincinnati.
Oh,

Speaker 1 that's so random.

Speaker 2 I would have thought you were from like New Jersey.

Speaker 1 That's what everyone says. They're like, you give like East Coast energy.
Yeah. Maybe it's because I'm like a little bitchy.
Like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 Like, growing up in Ohio, that's so random and like glee of you.

Speaker 1 Imagine just, it's so glee. It's so glee.

Speaker 2 I did not go to Lima Heights.

Speaker 1 Like, I did not go to Lima Heights, sadly.

Speaker 1 I wish I did. I was just not a good singer.
So maybe that didn't work out for me.

Speaker 1 But I

Speaker 1 like imagine growing up in Ohio, like one of those basic, boring movies. Right.
Like I just

Speaker 1 like the most regular experience. That is what I had.
Yeah. Like nothing special.
And so why'd you start DJing? I started DJing because I was always into music festivals. Like I loved going to them.

Speaker 1 And I had such an amazing time. And I went to La La Palooza.
I think it was my junior year summer. Going into my senior year.
And I saw Allison Wonderland performing.

Speaker 1 And that was like the first female DJ that I ever saw. And I was like, wow, that's what I want to do.
That's who I want to be. I just thought it was the sickest thing ever.
I've never saw a female DJ.

Speaker 2 It is really cool. So I was telling you a little bit before, I also in college, actually a little after college, I had like a brief like

Speaker 2 career time as a DJ.

Speaker 2 I thought, first of all, like it was fun, you know, and I thought I loved to party. And I was like, well, I can also like get paid.

Speaker 2 It's actually really hard to DJ. And let me tell you, I took lessons.
There was a place here, I think it's still in business called Flash Academy. Like, I didn't know where to start, you know?

Speaker 2 Like, that's true. What did you like? Teach yourself from like YouTube videos.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, YouTube videos.

Speaker 2 So I was like, let me just buy the equipment. What's that thing called? A board.
No, but like, what's the one like that everybody has?

Speaker 1 Like, it's like, like the 100, like the small one? Like the big one?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it had like the turntable. It had like one turntable.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I went to class and I took a bunch of lessons and I got like one or two gigs.

Speaker 2 And I realized very quickly it wasn't for me because I think a lot of people think and myself included that like you could just like drink and get fucked up and like party, but you're, but you're working, right?

Speaker 2 And it's actually most people

Speaker 2 do it live. Yeah, Most people, you know, I see I see a lot in your comments.
People are always accusing you of like not mixing live, which is kind of offensive to women.

Speaker 1 It's so annoying, but it's just something that I'm just used to at this point. Yeah, like the top comment, DJ press play, or what is the other one? DJ Press Play.

Speaker 2 This is Harris Hilton, too. I see that all the time in her ads.
So uncool.

Speaker 1 It's so, it's, I mean, they'll say it to any female ever, but it was so funny. I actually posted a video playing Levity.

Speaker 1 They're like these crazy dubstep DJs, and they also did a collab with crank dot. And

Speaker 1 I posted something to the remix, and everyone was commenting, like, oh my gosh, DJ Press Play, and then Levity, who's like one of the biggest upcoming DJ groups right now.

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh, this is so hard talking.

Speaker 2 And by the way, it is, I do talk really fast.

Speaker 2 Holy moly, I'm trying to keep up over here.

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 For a lot of people, they're really surprised at how like fast-paced the podcast is. I apologize.

Speaker 1 I'm going to slow down. No, no, no.
You do not need to slow down. I'm going to keep up with you.

Speaker 2 I've got questions for you because I've been following you for so long.

Speaker 2 You like came up for me when you were like doing your makeup in in your door and you were like TikTok famous in college, which I feel like is the most cool, fun thing ever.

Speaker 2 Like did everyone on campus just like was like talking about you guys? Like what was it like?

Speaker 2 Cause I knew I experienced it on the internet, but you were actually experiencing it in real life, like instead of having to go to class and stuff.

Speaker 1 It was, I mean, at that point, I was a senior. So I feel like everyone.

Speaker 1 Like we already, it's a very small school. University of Miami is like very, very small.
So I feel feel like people think it's like this like massive school, but it was only kind of weird.

Speaker 2 Like the freshmen would only say things but everyone else were like we've been seeing these people for you know the past three four years we really do not care about them how long were you TikToking and making like get ready with me before because I remember when it all started to everyone has like an era like their Emily Marico era where everyone's talking about it and like literally my older sister Olivia who has two kids and is not to be rude sorry Olivia is 34 she was like are you seeing Zandra like it really took off to the point where everyone was talking about the University of Miami girls like getting ready and Olivia was explaining and Livia was the one she was like and Zandra she's a DJ and like she gets ready.

Speaker 2 And so

Speaker 2 I, I, it was just like a cultural moment where everyone was talking about it. And so I feel like I've been following you since that moment.
So I have so many questions for just like what it was like.

Speaker 2 And now you're just like an it girl and you're a DJ and you go to sports illustrating. It's amazing and we love it.

Speaker 2 But I feel like it was when it was all happening, like you had to be there almost like to experience it.

Speaker 2 It was so fun to just, and I think a lot of people, myself included, were just living vicariously through you guys because it was like, you know, I haven't gotten ready in pregame.

Speaker 2 You guys literally party so much. Every single night.

Speaker 2 And it was just like, how how is this real and then you took a really different approach from some of the other girls and you were djing and it was so cool to watch your rise and now you do dj festivals you're here in new york for a show like it's so fun to watch so i apologize for my fast-paced questions i've just been kind of watching do i love it for a while i know i i feel like People would always send me a clips from the podcast whenever you talked about me.

Speaker 1 And I was like, wait, I love that. My need to go.

Speaker 2 Well, we also, you know, much like a lot of the internet users, we are kind of like obsessed and curious with a lot of the like the drama with the girls in college because you and Alex came up together.

Speaker 2 I feel like you guys don't necessarily have bad blood, but you don't like fuck around as much as you used to. Yeah.
And I, I, I'm always, I'm kind of like a troll, like, I'm always in your comments.

Speaker 2 And I like to see what people say because, like I said, they're always accusing you of not playing live and they're always accusing you and Alex of having bad blood.

Speaker 2 And it must be really annoying to like not be able to move past that. I'm a part of the problem now because I'm like bringing it up.
Like, it's like all in your comments all the time.

Speaker 2 And do you feel like you can't move past it?

Speaker 1 I mean, I feel like there's certain things. There's no bad blood.
There's no problems.

Speaker 1 I feel like you're in college and you're really close to people and then you graduate and everyone's kind of going their own separate directions and that's life.

Speaker 1 And I'm still close with a bunch of my other college friends, but you know, it's people are always going to be curious. People are always going to bring stuff up.

Speaker 1 It's always going to be like a part of my story. But I feel like, I don't know, I'm doing so many other amazing things and I live an amazing life and have an amazing friend.

Speaker 1 So whenever people say that, I'm like, I get where you guys are coming from, but it's really just not that deep.

Speaker 2 Okay, that's really good to know. Yeah.
Does it feel like

Speaker 1 you're, how old are you? Sorry, if that's okay that I've just turned 25.

Speaker 2 Hate you. Okay.
So, but you're, and you've been TikToking and publicly, like people have been paying attention for what, like three, three years?

Speaker 1 I'm trying to, like halfway through my senior year is when things kind of.

Speaker 2 And that's just such a important time in a young girl's life, right?

Speaker 2 You know, like lots happening, you're dating, you had a boyfriend, you guys broke up, and then, you know, everyone's wondering Danny, I'm a dolla. Like,

Speaker 2 how does it feel to like have these public moments documented? And I, I, you know, started girl with no job in college, but I didn't have as interesting of a life as you did.

Speaker 2 You know, me and Ben met when we were 18 and we've been together for 100 years and now we have a baby.

Speaker 2 Like you're experiencing all these sort of canon events as a young woman in front of so many people. How does that feel? That's a big question.

Speaker 1 It's interesting, you know, it's one of those things, like, Cause you want to be reckless, you want to do all those things, but when you know that there's so many people watching, you kind of do have to check yourself.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And you do have to grow up quicker in a way and just understand that there are repercussions for your actions.
And I feel like that's what I've learned.

Speaker 1 Cause I feel like all my friends were like dating, going around doing all this stuff.

Speaker 1 And at first, when I had a boyfriend, I would go online and I would just talk about stories about us because it's really hard to understand like how many people are watching. I know.

Speaker 1 And how many people are sharing?

Speaker 1 I feel like I was really, really good about it for the most part. I mean, there was definitely some moments where I was like, was that, was that necessary? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But I mean, I those are things though that you like, really have to learn the hard way.

Speaker 2 Like, you will get to a place where you know what the right balance to share is, but like, you kind of have to like fuck up before you realize like that you don't have to share everything.

Speaker 1 Exactly. And that's what for the people that I've been talking to you like recently and the new dating and all the new stuff, I've kind of been like holding back a little bit.

Speaker 2 Yes, we did notice that you were not being clear with us whether that was Danny Amandola's dancing with the stars apartment, but we knew that it was.

Speaker 1 And that's okay.

Speaker 2 We knew that it was. And we were happy for you.

Speaker 1 And I feel like I was part of the people being like, guys be cool like be cool yeah i was like everyone just like be chill about it just like can i have my moment you know what i mean like do i need to like spell it out for everyone right right you gave us what you gave us and we saw it and we understood it yeah i was like just please bear with me are you dating right now uh

Speaker 2 like dating as in like are you seeing one person specifically no no but are you seeing multiple people Love that.

Speaker 1 No, not like nothing.

Speaker 2 No, if I was 25 and had your hairline, girl, like you would not be able to keep me out of people's hand.

Speaker 1 No, not the hairline.

Speaker 2 No, but like it's like, you must be having so much fun.

Speaker 1 I, I, for a while, I wasn't having fun. I'll give you that.
Like, getting over,

Speaker 1 yeah, getting over the breakup and just, I had to deal with all that trauma. And I feel like I was really, really good at hide.
Not, I don't want to say hiding it, but

Speaker 1 Again, what I said is as soon as you bring things to the internet, then boom, there's, you know, there's no going back.

Speaker 1 And so I really took my time with kind of explaining everything that happened in my past relationship and I had to deal with it personally before I dealt with it publicly.

Speaker 1 And so it really took me a long time to get over that and to deal with all those traumas.

Speaker 2 Can I tell you that the internet is so crazy? Because now coming up on my TikTok and correct me if I'm wrong,

Speaker 2 is your ex-man like now like a TikToker? He's like dancing.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yeah.
See, that's him. Okay.
That's what I thought. I like recognized his face.
I'm like, why do I know this guy? And then, of course, like I said, I'm a troll who just reads comments.

Speaker 2 And I learned everything I say on the podcast. I'm like, I read it in a TikTok comment.
That's why I'm always like full of misinformation. You should never listen to anything I say.

Speaker 2 But yes, the comments did confirm that that was Sandra's X-Man.

Speaker 2 How do you feel about his new digital footprint?

Speaker 1 You know, there's certain things.

Speaker 1 It's a little, you know,

Speaker 1 you just got to let people do their thing. Yes, I love that.
That's a good response. You know,

Speaker 1 they're just having their moment. And I think, you know, he, when we ended things,

Speaker 1 I said

Speaker 1 he pleaded with me to, you know, not talk about all his atrocities that he did with me.

Speaker 1 And I said, you know what, for the sake of our relationship and like how long we were together for like four years. Yeah.
And it was a very traumatic four years. But I was like, you know what?

Speaker 1 I did love you for a very long amount of time and you were a big part of my life. And he was like, I do not want to be online.
Please, like, just let me have this one thing.

Speaker 1 Can I go and have a normal life?

Speaker 2 Okay, that's like a fair ask, even though like he was atrocious, like you said.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. But it was like, we had all the, like, I don't know, it was like, I loved him a lot at one point, even though he did all those awful things.
So then I was like, you know what?

Speaker 1 Fine, you don't want to be on the internet. Don't bother me.
Yeah. And I won't talk about you and all this thing.
And then all of a sudden, I was like, oh.

Speaker 1 Interesting, but you know, everyone's doing their own thing. And like, I'll let them cook.

Speaker 2 Well, that's a good free perspective. I didn't realize that.
I think it's a fair thing for someone to ask.

Speaker 2 And Jackie and I talk a lot about how like in this day and age, you know, people are in relationships relationships and then, like, you know, they go and like tell everyone everything that ever happened in that relationship, bad and good.

Speaker 2 And sometimes people deserve it, Zach Bryan.

Speaker 2 But it does feel like now it's like a thing people do where they just like tell the worst things, the people's worst moments in a relationship, and like, you know, go on a podcast about it.

Speaker 2 Now, obviously, you're on a podcast, so I'm not saying I'm like, oh, oops, it's happening.

Speaker 2 But I actually really respect that you didn't do that. I imagine that was hard when you just wanted to like scream it from the rooftop.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was, you know, it was a lot.

Speaker 2 And i went to like therapy and i tried to figure a bunch of my stuff out but definitely when i seeing this and like there's a whole nother i mean it's just a bunch of lies but you know like i said if that is what they want to do i'm letting themselves through dance yes dance dance dance dance away zandra are you a big pop culture girly kind of you love dancing with the stars right yeah i love because i feel like were you just there at the taping yeah got it and of course you spent a lot of time there last season we didn't need to do that i was like behind the scenes and you're best friends with the former winner yes and he also ran the marathon you're in town to the marathon too yes because your brother ran the marathon yes so crazy i went to see the marathon yesterday and my friend emily ran slay um and go emily it was so emotional like i literally the second i got to first avenue to go see her i was like immediately this happens every year where i'm like I'm gonna run.

Speaker 2 And I'm obviously not, even though I did run a run of 5K two years ago and it was kind of like my whole personality and I crushed it.

Speaker 1 Wait, I like want to see the, you know, I'll show you.

Speaker 2 I have a medal too. Wait, I want to see it.
Yeah, it was, it was really sick.

Speaker 2 And so so many celebrities are in the marathon. We're going to talk about that.
Sandra, what's the longest you've ever run?

Speaker 1 What is the longest I ever? I used to be like a big runner. Were you? Yes.

Speaker 2 Do you ever do like an official run, the 5K, 10K?

Speaker 1 I, I did a 5K when I was eight years old and I threw up.

Speaker 2 I mean, not me saying I did a 5K like a year ago and you did it when you were eight years old.

Speaker 1 No, wait, well, I played soccer my whole entire life.

Speaker 1 That was always a big thing. But I actually such a soccer girl, right? That I mean, like, people say that it's my the legs.

Speaker 2 No, I didn't mean physically. I just got like five bars.

Speaker 1 Like, you're so, do I give soccer? You're so soccer. You know what I mean? Wait, you know, I feel like compliment.
I definitely don't give, like, I hope I don't give, I don't know. Like, you don't

Speaker 2 give DJ, though.

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah, but maybe it's just. That's their note.
People say that all the time, though. I'll go up.
The amount of security guards that I've gone up, and I'm like, oh, I'm DJing.

Speaker 1 They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I bet.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, dream gig.

Speaker 1 Dream gig. Ooh.

Speaker 1 I feel like I've done a lot. Like my dream dream gig was to do EDC Vegas.
I did that this year, which was a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 But I'd love to do a headline slot like EDC Vegas, which is pretty much one of the biggest you can get. Or Tomorrowland.
I really want to do Tomorrowland.

Speaker 2 I'm familiar with Tomorrowland. So sick.
Let me ask you a question because we were talking on the toast last week about. dictionary.com released the word of the year and they made it 6'7.

Speaker 2 And I was with my sister Margo. It was during Halloween.

Speaker 2 And we were like trying to understand what's she was like trying to explain it, but she like low-key didn't know.

Speaker 2 And every time I don't understand something, I ask her because she's like young and hip.

Speaker 1 Yeah, can you explain it? I have no idea. Oh, okay.
That makes me feel like no idea.

Speaker 2 What, like, and I feel like everyone's like six, seven. It just popped up out of nowhere.

Speaker 1 I thought it was like somber because he was like six foot seven.

Speaker 2 I thought it was because seven, eight, nine.

Speaker 2 Like, I really, I was not.

Speaker 2 I don't listen to me.

Speaker 1 I know, no, but I still, like, that's one of the things. Like, I have no idea.
None of my friends have any idea. And we talk about it all the time.
Okay. So, I'm not brain rock.

Speaker 2 I don't know. You're not brain rock.

Speaker 1 I'm not brain rock.

Speaker 2 So, where do you live? You live in Miami? That's fun. It is a lot of fun.
And so, when you like party professionally, has it become less fun to like party regular?

Speaker 1 Um, I'd say definitely, it's changed my clubbing experience, right? Because I work at the club place. Yeah, I say, I always say that I have the same hours as a hooker, yeah, nights and weekends.

Speaker 1 So, I'm like, you will not see me

Speaker 1 out and about, but it's, I don't know, it's still a lot of fun, but I feel like most of the time when I hang out with my friends in Miami, like we're on a boat, it's a house party.

Speaker 2 I try to avoid clubs, the clubs, because it's like how somebody feels when they walk walk into a corporate office.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Or like a doctor walking into a hospital.
Right.

Speaker 1 Like that's how it feels.

Speaker 2 That's how it feels. And you love living in Miami.
You don't think you would ever move?

Speaker 1 I love it. I mean, I just got a house there, so I'm stuck there for fruits until I find a husband.

Speaker 2 Of course. So are, do you want to get married like

Speaker 1 soon?

Speaker 1 Well, I have to find a boyfriend first.

Speaker 2 You're talking about husbands.

Speaker 1 Everyone is getting engaged. Can we talk about it?

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 I don't feel that way, but because it's like, I'm not in my engaged area. It feels like everybody's having having babies.
That's how I feel. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 2 So what kind of like timeline are we working with, do you think?

Speaker 1 Well, I had, well, my ex-boyfriend, I mean, I feel like whenever you have a boyfriend for a long amount of time, you always think that you're going to marry them.

Speaker 1 So I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm going to get, yeah. I was going to, I was like, oh, I'm going to get married young, like all this stuff.
And now I'm like, whoa. Yeah.

Speaker 1 By the way, I don't know. I'd love to find a boyfriend first.
That might be helpful. That would be helpful.

Speaker 2 That would help to get cousin sage. Yeah.
Now, is your full name Alexandra? Yes. When did you start going by Xandra? It is such a cool name.
I feel like

Speaker 2 you're super talented, but I think a lot of like your charm and your success when you were first, I never heard of anyone as Xandra. Like it was really kind of like a stage name, especially as a DJ.

Speaker 2 It's great to have.

Speaker 2 Where did that come from?

Speaker 1 It came from, honestly, I was looking for a DJ name. Yeah.
And so I, when I was growing up, my full name was.

Speaker 1 Alexandra. And then everyone always just tried to shorten my name to Alex.
And my mom was like, I just don't. Like, I named you Alexandra for a reason.
I was like, oh my gosh, this is.

Speaker 1 That's interesting. Well, yeah, because imagine like, but I was like, mom, you chose like the longest name.
Right.

Speaker 2 No. And I just named a baby.
And like, you always think about like what they're going to call the baby. And I imagine Alexandra, like, she would have known, like, they're going to call you Alex.

Speaker 1 Exactly. And so I was like, I don't know.
And then I was called AP

Speaker 1 in high school. I was called Apoll in grade school.
And so when I came to college, I was like, wow, everyone's going to share my name. So.

Speaker 1 How about I just put some like, I just choose what it is because I'm honestly, that's so sick.

Speaker 2 I feel like people, a lot of times, like get nicknames that they're stuck with and they didn't choose choose those nicknames. And it kind of sucks.

Speaker 2 And the fact that you chose your nickname was kind of my dream. When I was in the eighth grade, I really wanted like a cool nickname.
And so I had everyone call me Juicebox. Like nobody called that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I thought it was like such a DJ Juicebox. That would have been more like DJ, like obsessed.
Wait, that's good. It did not catch on.

Speaker 2 It's like hard to later in life get a nickname, but college is a great place to like start fresh and be like, hi, I'm Zandra. And I love that it took off for you.

Speaker 2 Like, I'm so jealous and happy for you. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Well, it was the reason how you do it. If you ever want to like rewrite yourself, change your Instagram username before you go to college.

Speaker 2 Okay, that's actually really smart.

Speaker 2 That also happens like when girls get married, like if I've known you forever, like I'm never calling you your married name. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 But if you change everything, like shout out to my friend Dana, formerly Holsberg, now Webman, the night she got married, she changed her Gmail. Like everything.
Oh, she had it.

Speaker 2 I kind of always forget her maiden name now. She's Dana Webman.
Stop. Yes.
You got it. You're right.
It's all in the Instagram handle.

Speaker 1 It's all in the Instagram handle because when I came to school, I was introducing myself as Alexandra and people were like, no, you're Xandra. And I was like, whoa, I love that.

Speaker 2 You're right. I should have changed my Instagram to juicebox if I had to do this too.

Speaker 1 And then I guarantee every single person would have called you juicebox. Wait, I kind of love that.
I know. It's a hack.
It's a hack. It's a hack.
It's a hack.

Speaker 2 Well, Zandra is here to do the fast five stories with me. What are you currently obsessed with in pop culture? Like, what TV shows are you watching? Like, what are the young kids watching?

Speaker 1 Ooh. What am I? I don't know.
I'm like really weird. I love like Law and Order SB.

Speaker 2 Oh, obsessed.

Speaker 1 Also, like NCIM.

Speaker 2 We have a lot of stories today about Halloween. I just want to say your Pamela Anderson costume was such a slight.
Thank you so much. It's hard to be original.

Speaker 2 I feel like everybody likes the same couple of costumes.

Speaker 1 Loved. Thank you.
Thank you. I have an amazing team of stylists, and they basically were like, You're going to beat this and this and this this year.
They're like,

Speaker 2 I do feel like you really actually look like her in everyday life, and the costume was such a sleigh.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 2 So, we have a lot of Halloween stories, a lot of celebrity costumes. You know, it's not Halloween if a celebrity doesn't offend you with their costume.

Speaker 2 Now, this year, thankfully, nobody did blackface, but Julia Fox is like kind of being crazy. So, Xander, I have a question for you.

Speaker 2 Before you have breast milk, it's like this kind of paste and it's super nutrient-dense. I mean, babies love it.
Babies live on it for a couple of days.

Speaker 2 Today's episode is also brought to you by BuyHeart, an infant nutrition company built from the ground up to deliver real innovation on behalf of babies and parents.

Speaker 2 Their mission is simple, make the best formula in the world. They use the latest breast milk science.

Speaker 2 They've created a clinically proven, easy-to-digest infant formula that's made with organic breast-fed whole milk, certified clean ingredients, and it features a patented protein blend that gets closest it possibly can to breast milk.

Speaker 2 The season is here, holiday season, it's really great and everything, but if you have a new baby, like holidays can be overwhelming, and then you're also focused on like feeding your baby and all the struggles that come with that.

Speaker 2 Things can go better when your expectations are just leveled. So throw the sleep schedule out the window.
It's not happening. If you're traveling, like your naps just aren't going to be what they are.

Speaker 2 And that's okay. But something we can rely on is Buy Heart.
It's available in nearly 12,000 stores across the country. They also have a new format, the Anywhere Pack.

Speaker 2 So it's a TSA-friendly rip and pour formula packet for feeding anytime, anywhere. I just did my first

Speaker 2 trip with Ruby. We went to LA.
And let me tell you, it was just like horrible with the breast milk cooler. This

Speaker 2 tear and little packet of Buy Heart Vain from Formula is so genius. I can't believe nobody else thought of that.

Speaker 2 From cross-country flights to grandma's house, it's one less thing to worry about when everything else is just, you know, a lot.

Speaker 2 Family time is wonderful, but it can be a lot. I'm a big fan of Buy Heart.
They're available at Target stores nationwide. And you can also head to buyheart.com during their biggest sale of the year.

Speaker 2 This holiday season, the more you buy, the more you save. You can get up to 35% off when you subscribe at buyheart.com.
Your baby might not care about the sale, but you do.

Speaker 2 Additional terms and conditions apply. So we have two Halloween stories.
Let's start with Julia Fox. People are really upset at her because she dresses Jackie O, not my sister, Jackie Oh, Nassus.

Speaker 2 But she dressed as Jackie Oh in the mere moments after her husband, JFK, was shot. So there's like the iconic, everybody saw the Natalie Portman movie where she was like, my husband.

Speaker 2 She dressed as Jackie Oh on the day of the assassination. Jackie Oh famously like didn't change her clothes after JFK was shot.
She was wearing this like gorgeous pink suit. It was covered in blood.

Speaker 2 And then to like make a statement, Jackie O never changed. And for some reason, Julia Fox, I would be, thought that would be a good costume to not only dress as Jackie O, but to wear like the blood.

Speaker 2 Now, of course, Jack Schlossberg is very upset.

Speaker 2 I kind of agree with him. It was a crazy costume.
And I just want to say I'm kind of over Julia Fox, but

Speaker 2 She's raising eyebrows for her viral Halloween costume. The actress slash model dressed up as bloody Jackie Kennedy Onassis after she survived the assassination of her husband.

Speaker 2 She wore a replica of the famous pink suit and the pillbox hat, complete with bloodstains while attending a Halloween party in New York City on Thursday. So people were very upset.

Speaker 2 Jackie Onassis famously said, no, let them see what they've done to Jack. And I think Julie Fox got like a lot of hate.
Rightfully so.

Speaker 2 And then she released a statement just sort of like. trying to placate being like, no, you guys don't get it.
Like I'm here. Like this is a statement for women.

Speaker 1 She was like,

Speaker 2 after the backlash, Julie Fox posted a statement on Instagram defending her outfit. She said, it's not a costume.
It's a statement. Oh.

Speaker 2 She said, when her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her bloodstained clothes, saying, I want them to see what they've done.

Speaker 2 The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history. Beauty and horror, poise and devastation.

Speaker 2 Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to do so, was an act of extraordinary bravery. It was performance.
protest and mourning all at once.

Speaker 2 A woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality. It's about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance.
Long live Jackie O.

Speaker 2 So, while I really respect her use of language here to defend herself, I think she really wasn't expecting people to be so offended by this because it really is like Chat GPT.

Speaker 2 It's very chat.

Speaker 2 I do respect her attempt to be like, No, you guys don't get it. Yeah.
Because sometimes when somebody, like, you get hate, it's a good response to be like, no, you guys just don't understand it.

Speaker 2 I'm really not buying what she's selling. I'm just going to say it's not a good costume.

Speaker 1 I just, there's no reason. I feel like that was like such a traumatic time.

Speaker 2 A thousand people. In history.

Speaker 2 And it's like, it's like yes astonishment not cool especially with the what like not cool not cool not cool it's not cool it's getting the ex for it's getting yes i i just really actually don't like this costume at all i do think it's hard to be creative when it comes to like celebrity costumes like you know heidi clum is always doing the most and i feel like she doesn't really need to be doing like what she's doing the lizard tongue was insane insane so i feel like it's definitely hard to stand out and come up with a unique costume like not everybody can be belly conrad and jeremiah i get it that was so good and i feel like this is just a result of like people trying to like do the most and have the best most original costume so much so that you get to a place where you don't realize you're doing something incredibly offensive because i don't think she was like trying to be offensive i think she was trying to be different

Speaker 1 i feel like she's always trying to be different i feel like that's her thing like that's her shtick and it's like a little annoying it's like sometimes be be a little normal normal yeah maybe be pamela anderson just be a little basic bring back normal like be a nurse okay like a sexy nurse

Speaker 2 i feel like that is so

Speaker 2 you know it was so cliche that nobody does it anymore. That if you were to be a sexy nurse now, it's kind of original and creative.
Yeah. I hate this costume.
I hate her respond.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, I hate to be like such a Karen. Like it is tasteless and it is offensive.

Speaker 1 I don't like it.

Speaker 2 Well, a costume that is not tasteless nor offensive. And I think wins my best costume of the year, besides your Pamela Anderson, was Justin and Haley Bieber dressing their son, Jack, as

Speaker 2 a young Justin Bieber.

Speaker 2 And so Justin Bieber's son, Jack Blues, adorably channeled his pop star dad in Halloween 2025 by dressing as one of Justin's iconic looks.

Speaker 2 On Friday, Hailey Bieber shared a carousel of photos of their toddler to Instagram and she wished followers a happy Halloween. Here is the photo.

Speaker 2 He's wearing the iconic purple hoodie and white denim jacket. I just want to say there's so many things I want to give Hailey Bieber like credit here for.

Speaker 2 One, she famously does not share her son on social media. So I feel like it's hard to like create content with your kids.

Speaker 2 Like, you know, everybody's always like exploiting their kids for likes and it works.

Speaker 2 Shout out to Haley for making news without ever showing her kids' face. Like that is such a slight.

Speaker 1 She's so cool.

Speaker 2 She, oh my God, me and Margo, when she she hosted with me last week all we did was talk about hailey like there is seriously nobody cooler better more beautiful more standing more successful like i just love her she's really i mean i i've seen her in person a couple times too and her skin she glows the road is working she's a walking advertisement for her own brand i'm a big fan of the road glazing milk um i agree like she is so successful and she's a billionaire because she works hard, but also because like she is the embodiment of her own brand, you know, like sleigh.

Speaker 2 I love this costume. I think it's such a cute, funny way to pay homage to like Justin's, you know, pop star roots.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 we don't get to see the son and I don't want to. I respect her privacy.
I kind of want to. But I love that he literally has Justin Bieber hair.

Speaker 1 I know. And like the little purple, like,

Speaker 1 I wish they did a TikTok with him, though. But I like, I always

Speaker 2 did. Like, I'm in the stage now where, um, because I also don't show my son on social media.
When I, and now my whole for you page is like moms and stuff.

Speaker 2 When I see a mom who doesn't share her kids, like I follow them because it's so hard to like, you know, you want to make mom content, but you're limited.

Speaker 2 And I think it's it's like a really hard but like good choice to not show your kids so I'm always like trying to support mamas who don't show their kids so if you like randomly got followed by me that's why like I'm always following people so they're like snaps for you it's hard you want to share the journey but like it it's really tempting to show your kids because like that content gets really you know good engagement and yeah there's a lot of like kind of nefarious things going on on the internet and like I understand why a lot of moms don't and that's like I cheer you on so Haley's kind of our leader our fearless leader and look at her making news slay I know with the back of her son's head that's all you you need.

Speaker 2 The back of his head is ridiculous. This is so cute.
Seriously, best costume goes to this two-year-old.

Speaker 1 I know. And he doesn't even know it.

Speaker 2 He doesn't even know how famous he is.

Speaker 1 No, he has no idea. Imagine just popping out of the womb.

Speaker 2 I think the Kardashian kids know how famous they are, especially like the older ones. Like North is like, she understands

Speaker 2 that she's a cultural icon. Yes.
It must be so crazy to be so famous and like not know. And I think that's probably Justin and Haley's kids' experience too.

Speaker 1 100%. That's so crazy.

Speaker 2 It's so crazy. What's your favorite Justin Bieber song to play? Like, what gets the people going?

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't really,

Speaker 1 I don't really play a lot of Justin Bieber myself.

Speaker 2 Who do you play the most? You know, I have a song if you ever want to play it. It's called Toast.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, wait, no, your theme song?

Speaker 2 Okay, well, we do have our theme song, yes, but I wasn't recommending you play that club. It's not club friendly.
I would never say that. No, no.
Imagine that was my intro. I have two songs.

Speaker 2 One's called Toast and one's called 100%. They're both like honestly dance EDM Bops.
Can I play it for you? Wait, yes. Stop.
I'm dying. Okay.

Speaker 2 So I released Toast, which was kind of like my, my, like our, it really should be our theme song, but it's not. I don't know why.
Um, so this was my first song. It's called Toast.

Speaker 2 Like, it's literally hard to find on Spotify because there's so many episodes of the fucking toast.

Speaker 1 I love that I had no idea that you were. I'm learning so many new things about you.

Speaker 2 Okay, so my music that I've released, my two songs, it's actually, it's not DJ songs. It's like I sing too, because you know, I live for singing.

Speaker 1 Oh, my goodness. Okay, ready?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 I'll play for you guys too.

Speaker 2 I'm dying. Sandra, you have to play that like live, okay?

Speaker 1 No, I will. I will.

Speaker 1 It's good. It's like...

Speaker 1 You like the beat.

Speaker 1 I'm counting down until we start. We're ready.

Speaker 2 Okay, like you get the vibes. Wait, no.
There's another song called 100%. That's like a little bit more very Haley Steinfeld.
Like, ooh.

Speaker 2 I actually don't like the beginning of the song. Sorry.

Speaker 1 Wait, you're a really good singer. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 I feel like the thing, wait, she's really good.

Speaker 1 She's really good.

Speaker 2 Like, this is like, you play this at the club, right? Yeah. Dancing with the boys and the girls.
I'm inclusive, ready?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Doing what we do in the world.

Speaker 2 This would go crazy at Tomorrow. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Wait, you know what that reminds me of? Like,

Speaker 1 OG, there was a song called Gold that I listened to, like, forever and ever and ever and ever ago. Like, I was like,

Speaker 1 oh, my gosh, I forgot her name.

Speaker 2 Like, Brit Nicole. It's like a Christian song.

Speaker 1 Is it?

Speaker 2 Okay, like, was it in the movie The Other Woman?

Speaker 1 Because if you brought up, like, my favorite song, I would die.

Speaker 2 Gold, how does it sound like?

Speaker 1 it kind of sounds like that like the verse kind of like the chorus kind of has that big opening moment okay if it's not everything you have the christian song it's like not at all what you have but like maybe maybe other people know what i'm talking about we could circle back on yeah we'll circle back i don't think that that's who we're talking about so yes if you're ever looking for a couple of bops to play at fountain blue

Speaker 2 just know i give you full artistic control thank you would you ever remix one of my songs andrew should i do you do that like yeah because i know you released your own song body says that was

Speaker 2 yes Do you remix? I mean, obviously, you like remix while you're DJing, but you should like release remixes of popular songs. Honestly, you could.

Speaker 1 I actually just did one of Take It Off and I made one too, Actually Romantic.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'd love that.

Speaker 2 Are you a Swifty?

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, I'd say, okay, I'm not like a die-hard.

Speaker 2 I respect your honest answer because I do feel like people on social media like will cosplay as Swifties just for likes.

Speaker 2 And it's anyway, you can always tell who's like a fake fan who joined last year. Exactly.
I respect, I actually really respect your answer. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I mean, I used to go to all the Taylor Swift's concerts growing up. Like that was, she, for me, I wasn't that big into Justin Bieber.
I was like way more into Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 Got it. But as you've grown up, like your music taste has evolved a little bit.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, now I listen to like dubstep in my free time. So it's a little bit different, but I do love a Taylor Swift moment, like her new album.
Like I love it.

Speaker 1 But I kind of go through like the ups and downs. Like I wasn't like actually crawling to go to the heiress tour, but I do.

Speaker 1 But I do love it.

Speaker 2 Let me ask you a question, Dubstep. Yes.
Is that music without lyrics?

Speaker 1 That's That's music with like big, big bass. Like, got it.

Speaker 2 But that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 No, there's some lyrics.

Speaker 2 Okay. Cause like music without lyrics, like DJ music without, it's some of my least fucking favorite music.

Speaker 1 Oh, like just like chill, like beats. House.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because one thing I like, I love to sing, I like to chant, like, oh, we're in the club. If you're playing music without lyrics at a club, like, I'm going home.
Yeah. Is that a hot take?

Speaker 1 Like, it's, it's not, there's just different kind of realms in the music. It's on drugs.
Like, let's be real.

Speaker 2 Yes. And I'm like, I'm not in the drug era of my life.
Sorry.

Speaker 2 So it's annoying.

Speaker 1 What do you mean?

Speaker 2 And I'm not doing drugs. I'm so sorry.
I'm so crazy. I'm not doing drugs.
I'm breastfeeding. Okay.
Like, let's be fucking real.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, that's good. That's good.
Yeah. What do you think about Tate McRae?

Speaker 2 Love. Love too, but she's like kind of in a little bit of hot water.
Did you see that video of her with the microphone? No. Okay.

Speaker 2 So she just had a show and she picked up the microphone to start singing and she was holding the microphone upside down, but like the track was still playing. So now there are lip-syncing allegations.

Speaker 2 Harry Ashley Simpson SNL. Now, I just want to say, I don't believe she was lip-syncing.
Yeah. I just, I don't.
But the video is extremely compelling.

Speaker 2 But I think a lot of people don't fully understand like how little even like the biggest pop stars sing live. Like there's so much backing and track.

Speaker 2 So if you do like mess up, there is a track behind you, but that doesn't mean that you're not also singing live.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah. And I feel like she's dancing a lot too.
So you kind of do need a little something if she's not.

Speaker 2 She's not so out of breath. And you know that she like probably would be.

Speaker 1 But like, that's kind of annoying to me, though, because it's so obvious that she's such an amazing singer.

Speaker 1 Like, have you seen her when she does the sound checks at the beginning and does like the whole thing? 100%.

Speaker 2 I'm like, she sings live with her her phone. You know, she like sings someone else's song and she reads the lyrics.

Speaker 1 Exactly. I'm like, are you guys seriously coming after her for this? Like, let the girl live a little.

Speaker 2 I actually really respect, like, she puts on a show, right? And so that's dancing and that's singing. And I think probably what separates her from everyone looks pop girly has their thing, right?

Speaker 2 And hers is totally dancing. So if she's putting on a show, like, she does need supportive elements.
And if she has a backtrack just so she can like pop her pussy, I am okay with that.

Speaker 2 Cause like that's her thing. Like, I'm like, Taylor Swift's thing is her songwriting.
Like, everybody has their thing.

Speaker 2 And so all the Britney comparisons between Tate McRae, yeah, she's popping her pussy and she's dancing. And so, like, she can't be singing at a level 10.
I think it's fine.

Speaker 2 I also think, like, the video is a little misleading.

Speaker 1 I need to see the video now.

Speaker 2 So, I mean, like, everybody has a backtrack, right?

Speaker 1 Like, you have

Speaker 1 music. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Everybody's like a track effect. Nobody's singing completely raw.

Speaker 1 No. And they're like.

Speaker 2 what people don't understand like what they're hearing in their ears is like something crazy and if their ears aren't working then they can't they can't sing right um so i know she's just like kicking herself for that little flop because now the video is like going so viral All it takes is like one video.

Speaker 2 It's so insane. It's ruining your whole career.
Isn't that insane? I don't think that's what's happening here. Like Tabo Craig is going to be fine.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 But it is really crazy how just one video taken out of context 10 seconds can like literally destroy a person.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 2 TikTok is so great for so many things, but it's also so horrible for somebody.

Speaker 1 It's just, I mean, it's just so. And I feel like before it used to be like news and all this stuff, but now it's literally anyone can get online and say anything.

Speaker 1 And obviously people are instantly going to believe it.

Speaker 2 What's the biggest lie you've heard about yourself on TikTok?

Speaker 1 Oh, wait. There's been so many.
That's like so tough.

Speaker 2 What's the one that like bothered you the most? Cause it was so untrue.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 So many. Wow.

Speaker 1 That I did really awful things

Speaker 1 to my friends. That just never happened.

Speaker 2 Oh, I know what you're talking about. I kind of do.
Is it about like a naked picture or something?

Speaker 1 Yeah. That was not me.

Speaker 2 That was not you. No.
Oh, okay. Thank you for setting the record straight.
I think a lot of people assume that it was you. No.

Speaker 2 Okay, slay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was not me.

Speaker 1 I know who it is, but I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever say that in a million years.

Speaker 2 I won't make you say it, but good on you for clearing your name. And why did you not clear your name for so many like months, years?

Speaker 1 It's just because I didn't like at that point. It's like, why

Speaker 1 would I have to defend myself for something that I didn't do?

Speaker 2 That's like the frustrating thing. And I feel like it's something like you just kind of get jaded with.

Speaker 2 But at first, when you get a platform and just people start saying things, you want to like point out every single thing that people are saying about you, big and small, that's wrong.

Speaker 2 And then you sort of just have to like learn to live with it. And like things really do work themselves out.
And like the truth does eventually come out.

Speaker 2 But I'm shocked that you let that go on for so long. I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 I thought it was you. No, it was not me.
Wow. It's like, but yeah, I mean, there's just certain things where I

Speaker 1 was just so focused about like my career and myself. And like, there was a moment where things got a little crazy there for a second, but I told myself I will always rise above.
Yep. I'm never gonna

Speaker 1 talk poor or ill about someone. I'm never going to

Speaker 1 do something

Speaker 1 that I would not be proud of later in life. And I was like, if I come out and I, you know, there's obviously things that you want to like say or do, but like, I'm all good now.

Speaker 1 And everything ended up working out for me. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But wow, I'm really impressed. I can't lie.
Like, no, I'm part of the problem because I totally thought it was you. No, it's okay.

Speaker 1 I mean, like, most people.

Speaker 1 I apologize. No, it's okay.
It's okay.

Speaker 1 I feel like it always came up in like private conversations and i'd be like no it wasn't me and they're like well why didn't you why didn't you say something and i'm like because

Speaker 1 well like what what am i what am i gonna say what am i gonna do like i would i would never like you know i was really close with these people and like sometimes like people just have moments where they go and they do things and they regret them and then they can't go back right because then then they seem like another person they would never apologize so then i was just kind of left like okay i guess i'll just take take that one kitchen.

Speaker 2 Wow. Okay, Sandra, Alexandra.

Speaker 2 Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Merit Beauty. When it comes to makeup, what's in the formula matters just as much as how it looks.

Speaker 2 These days, so many products are heavy and packed with ingredients that you just don't want on your skin. But now there's a new option with Merit Beauty.

Speaker 2 So I got into Merit Beauty before I knew they were clean because I'm not going to lie, up until I got pregnant, like I really didn't care about what was in my makeup.

Speaker 2 And then you get like makeup that's not pregnancy safe and it makes you question like why. That's kind of concerning.
Jackie's been on to Merit Beauty because she is a clean queen.

Speaker 2 Fourth story, Megan Markle is like upsetting people again.

Speaker 2 And I'm at a place in my life where I'm like kind of becoming a Megan Markle defender because people are just like coming at her too much and it's annoying.

Speaker 2 And I wish she would come at her husband because like he's the annoying problematic one. It's not her, I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 However, with this new video that she put out, like, I do understand like why people are freaking out. So she posted this like really cringe

Speaker 2 like celebration video that she like propped her phone up and her and Harry and some other lady, I don't know who that was, were watching the Dodgers in the World series.

Speaker 2 They won a game and they're like celebrating. And it's just like a cringe video.

Speaker 2 Unfortunately, like Megan is just an influencer. And I do believe that she like runs her own Instagram account.

Speaker 2 I'm like, this is what we're going to get from just like this is someone's mom like yeah she's not thinking about it when you put out a tick tock like how many times do you watch it before you put it out like a thousand you like what no no you just like post it raw i like i'll watch it through like once that's it for my camera but when you always think about like how does this make me look or like like what kind of thought process what's your creative process

Speaker 1 i don't

Speaker 1 I try not to think about it too much because I feel like when I think about it too much, it just like

Speaker 2 you won't post it right.

Speaker 1 Well, I feel like Megan just like posts things like she the she probably needs to like take a second and be like, wait, I'm married to, you know, former prince.

Speaker 2 Right. A former prince.

Speaker 1 Like, I should probably look at this.

Speaker 2 So she posted a black and white Instagram story of her shrieking in delight and then ran over to hug her husband, Prince Harry, who was sitting in a reclining chair with his feet up.

Speaker 2 And then after bending down to give him a hug and a kiss, she continued to jump and down, jump up and down with her close friend, Kelly, in excitement. Oh my God, she squealed.

Speaker 2 And Harry just like sort of like chuckled. Now.

Speaker 2 The thing is, if you were just watching this video and you don't know who these people are, you would think that like this is a man who hates his wife. Like he's so not.

Speaker 2 She's like being cute and funny and sweet. One thing about me, I'm always going to see the worst in Prince Harry.
I cannot stand this man.

Speaker 2 I don't think he, like, I think Megan gets all the hate for their relationship when it's him. If you watch a documentary, like, it was him who didn't protect her at the royal family.

Speaker 2 It was him who should have hired her a stylist. It was him who should have taught her all the rules.
But no, he just like threw her in.

Speaker 2 She's like sitting next to Queen Elizabeth as it's like Canadian slash American. Like, of course, she doesn't know what the fuck's going on.

Speaker 2 And so like all the hate that got sent her away, like I really, I blame him 100%.

Speaker 2 And so she's the one like posting them on Instagram. So she's the one getting the hate.
But like watch a video, like he's so mean. She's like excited about something.

Speaker 2 You know, it's like that Taylor Swift quote like about cake pops. Like when someone's excited about something and you like kind of make fun of them instead of like getting excited with them.

Speaker 2 It's such an annoying fucking thing. And he's just like kind of, you can tell he's like, he feels like annoyed with her.

Speaker 2 Now, again, it's just like a 10 second video. Maybe we shouldn't like look so much into it.
And there's like a window into their marriage. But like, sorry, like, this is what she gave us.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, we have to now. And I'm looking into it.
And what I'm seeing is not good. I really, really don't like Prince Harry.
So I am always just going to see the worst in him.

Speaker 2 But this video is not great for him. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 But she looks fine, though.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, she's like, she seems like a happy, go-lucky, like fun-loving gal. I feel bad.

Speaker 1 I loved her in suits. Like, that was like, she was like the biggest baddie ever.

Speaker 1 And so, I don't know. I, but when they got married, I thought it was the coolest thing.
And then everything kind of fell apart. Really bad.

Speaker 2 Like, wait.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 1 She was on top of the world. And she was like, everyone thought she was like so hot and so cool.
And then, but I feel like that's such, didn't like Princess Diana, like, didn't.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there are similar parallels.

Speaker 2 I do wish that it had worked out for her.

Speaker 2 Like, that's kind of my biggest gripe with the whole situation and why I like like hate Harry because like it would have been so cool for there to have been like an American divorcee half black woman in the royal family.

Speaker 2 Like why couldn't and I think the world like everyone had a part to play, but Harry doesn't get enough shit for like it not working out on his behalf.

Speaker 2 Like early, the tabloids were bad and I don't think everyone was super nice to her, but like Harry should have protected his wife more. And I really like,

Speaker 2 I watched the Netflix show. I'm not obsessed with this era for her.
Like I think she's like kind of free falling. She has a shot my.
Like it's weird.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do you think it's weird she has a shot my?

Speaker 1 I mean like a little like don't you have like better things to do? No, and like you're royal.

Speaker 2 Why do you have shop?

Speaker 1 Yeah, like you're royal.

Speaker 1 You are a duchess and your children are like princesses.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And princess.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's what? Yeah. No, I think it's.

Speaker 1 Why are you trying to get like that's for other people?

Speaker 2 Except we did get her jam. Oh.
And my husband ate it. He said it was fucking amazing.
And my husband has like a very high culinary bar.

Speaker 2 For jam.

Speaker 1 For all things.

Speaker 2 And he comes into the house. He doesn't realize like, I got sent this in PR.
I'm like, we're not supposed to eat it. We're supposed to save it.
It's from a princess. Like, fucking what?

Speaker 2 And he's like, did you eat this apricot jam? I'm like, did you eat this apricot jam? He's like, did he post it on his Instagram? He's like, I don't know where this jam came from. It's so good.

Speaker 2 I'm like,

Speaker 1 it's like it's oil jam.

Speaker 2 You weren't supposed to eat it. But he said it was so delicious, like for real.
And did you try it? I'm not like a big apricot girl. Sorry.

Speaker 1 They should have sent like strawberry.

Speaker 2 1,000%. Obviously, the person packing the PR doesn't know that I like have the palate of like a sixth grader.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They were like, what?

Speaker 2 Our fifth and final story is about all the celebrities who ran the marathon. So the marathon was yesterday.
Like I said, I was like on TikTok all night crying. And I swear to God, like I will run it.

Speaker 2 Not anytime soon, but like I will. And a lot of celebrities ran it, which is just another reason to do it.
You know, you never know who you could run into.

Speaker 1 So true.

Speaker 2 Here are the celebrities and their times. Now, I, what was your brother's time?

Speaker 1 My brother's time was 410, but he had a lot of problems on mile 12. And it was like a whole thing.
And then everyone, what kind of problems? He was just, oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 He

Speaker 1 thought like the whole like right side of his body started to go numb. And he's run like 12 miles every single time.
He was running with his best friend and they were supposed to do 315.

Speaker 1 oh that's what they were like pacing for yeah that's what they were pacing for and so they were good and then he just lost like all feeling but he finished he finished yeah he finished at 4 25 4 20 okay 15.

Speaker 2 so my friend emily who is her first time she ran in four hours. So like that's my benchmark

Speaker 2 for like with these people because like honestly some of these times are not good. Anthony Ramos from Everyone Knows her from In the Heights original Cassa Hamilton four hours and 44 minutes.

Speaker 2 Okay 44 minutes and longer than my friend Emily. Yeah.
That's not so good.

Speaker 1 Everything, MY

Speaker 1 Literally.

Speaker 2 So, um, these two guys, I don't know them, but they are death cap for cutie, Ben Gibbard and Dave Pepper, 336 and 354. Okay, that's really good.
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 But I feel like it's easier for men to run faster. Like, there are biological differences between men and women.
Sorry, there are.

Speaker 2 Claire Holt, Slay, three hours and 39 minutes. Wow.
Everyone knows her from H2O.

Speaker 1 Noor. Emma, Noor.
Cleor. Cleor.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 2 A lot of people from Broadway, including Jordan Litz, he's in

Speaker 2 Wicked. He ran it in three hours and 40 minutes, and then he did Wicked that day.

Speaker 1 I heard. I think he did two.
Yeah. How do you do that?

Speaker 2 That's insane. That's how I'm like, yes, all people are created equally, but like, we're really not.
That's insane.

Speaker 2 Call Radke from Summerhouse, four hours and four minutes, four minutes longer than my friend Emily, but that's still really good.

Speaker 2 And then a lot of people from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Tyler Cameron, five hours and 38 minutes. That's kind of long.
Like, not me saying that.

Speaker 2 It would literally take me a whole day to run 26 miles.

Speaker 1 i think like what didn't he i think he was like walking for i think he was hoping that he's going to front tapes agreed agreed i saw that too i wish i was like that's very cute it's totally fine you know what i'm like being i brush it off i'm being a bitch sorry that was like actually meeting him no no but you never know you're never known you're right you're right never know um joey your friend

Speaker 2 say his last name Grazade. Grazade.

Speaker 1 But at the same time, it's like Grazide.

Speaker 2 I mean, I was going to say Graziadae, so I'm glad that I asked you. He did it in four hours and 29 minutes, 29 minutes longer than my friend Emily.
Matt James, he's like a professional.

Speaker 2 He did three hours and 31 minutes. That's really good.
Joe Amabile, grocery store Joe, three hours and 49 minutes. And then Tanner, I don't know who that is, four and a half hours.

Speaker 1 That's Joey's friend.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's Joey's friend. So Joey.

Speaker 1 Tanner Cartard. Oh, they did it.

Speaker 2 Oh, by the way, their times are three seconds off. They obviously did it together.

Speaker 2 And then three people from Love Island. Nick, who's dating Elandria, four hours and 42 minutes, 42 minutes longer than my friend Emily.

Speaker 2 Brian, who I hate, four hours and 32 minutes. And then Elon, the cutie Jewish man from Canada, obsessed three hours and 20 minutes.

Speaker 1 That's why. He's like a big runner, too.

Speaker 2 I didn't even know that.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I feel like he just looks like a runner.

Speaker 2 I feel like whenever people talk about certain reality shows, your name gets thrown around a lot, like Summer House. Would you ever?

Speaker 1 No. No.

Speaker 2 I've heard any show. Like

Speaker 2 not dating, just like any sort of reality.

Speaker 1 Any show?

Speaker 1 Possibly. I mean, like, there's ones I feel like I would always talk to Kelsey about.
She was like, you should be on The Bachelor. And then she was like, you should definitely not be on The Bachelor.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I feel like you shouldn't actually.

Speaker 1 No, I'd be like, no, no, no, no. Right.
No.

Speaker 2 The only show I could see you doing, because I do feel like you have a similar vibe, although you don't live in New York, is Summer House. Really?

Speaker 2 Yeah, because it's like, it's about like fun young people going to the Hamptons for the summer. You do go to the Hamptons for the summer.
True.

Speaker 2 I think they could use like a fresh energy like yours and you're a DJ and they're like always like playing music. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I just feel like it'd be a good fit. I'd be like playing music for all the parties.
Yeah. They invited me to a ton.
I like obviously

Speaker 1 there's the people. No.
I run into them.

Speaker 2 all the time. So there's like a connection.
It wouldn't be like a random casting. Think about it.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Maybe, maybe I'll.

Speaker 2 i don't know i don't know how well i you could live in a house though like you always stay in your own house in the hamptons so like how do you then like stay in a house with like other people no i don't think that you're kind of spoiled like yeah i'm so spoiled yeah i'd be like no no no like i'm just gonna i'm gonna stay at my house but i'll see you guys tomorrow yeah it would be like oh see you guys at the pool party because that's what they always do they throw pool parties they don't really go out a lot it's hard for them to get permits in the hamptons like a lot of the they i think they stay in sag harbor and like the townships really don't like that there's a show so they don't give them permits to film anywhere that's why they're never filming anywhere besides the house and like random restaurants Yeah.

Speaker 2 They can't go anywhere cool.

Speaker 1 I feel like, yeah, no, I don't think they do. Cause I imagine like the big cameras, it ruins the vibe.
Yeah, it ruins the vibe.

Speaker 2 And, you know, Monty Hawk and all these, like, it's like small town energy, even though it's become like an influencer hotspot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But the Hamptons like hate when people come. Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Literally, even when I go there, I've been going there since, I don't, I think like five years or something because my ex-boyfriend had a house there. So I went there every single summer.

Speaker 2 And then when we broke up, I have a boyfriend who has a house in the Hamptons, though. Like, you know, say what you want, but like, you know, it's nice.
It's nice.

Speaker 1 No, it was nice. And then when I broke up with him because he cheated on me, I was like, you know what? There's one thing I'm not losing out of this relationship.
It's the Not Hampton summer.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So now you rent your own house? Yes.

Speaker 1 Also good.

Speaker 2 Which is like independent woman things.

Speaker 1 Because like he did it with his parents and his parents were there.

Speaker 1 And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, no, no, no.
Like, I'm too grown for this.

Speaker 1 I can't be hanging out with your parents anymore.

Speaker 2 I have to tell you, you slayed your first time at the past five. I know you were a little nervous.
You absolutely crushed it.

Speaker 1 No, I was scared. No, no.
