[A]

Good morning, girlies. It's the Toast.

[B]

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

[A]

It's your favorite show.

[B]

The best five things you need to know.

[A]

We'll start your day off Swirly. It's the toast.

[B]

They sound amazing.

[A]

Welcome back to the Toast and happy Friday. That's right. We've earned it. Thank you. Pat yourself on the back, girl. It's Friday. You made it. Things you did that. I'm here seated with kind of an iconic host. Somebody who is an award winning author, true professional, a Nobel Peace prize winning sister and friend to so many. Host of the Redheads. New episodes just dropped. Hey, Jax, how you doing?

[B]

I'm doing good. Hey, turd. Or shall I say, like, Dolphins fan?

[A]

Yeah. Just want to say this is Olivia sweatshirt. Every I'm wearing this sweatshirt. I think people think it, like, means something. They're like, ah, Floridian. It's Olivia's. I have no clothes here. Like, I thought Olivia was gonna give birth three years ago. I've been here for so long.

[B]

It's such a cute sweatshirt.

[A]

Thanks, Abercrombie. She's wearing Abercrombie, you know.

[B]

Well, I think it's a great way to dress for our last show together.

[A]

Yeah. I am going home this weekend. Ttyl.

[B]

Last episode of the Toast ever.

[A]

We'll be reunited for our summer series in the Hamptons starting in July. So I'll see you.

[B]

So soon.

[A]

I'm not even sad.

[B]

No. And, like, I. I'm excited to use my home studio again. I like, you know, I like to switch. Switch it up.

[A]

You know what?

[B]

Right now, we're pacing it, like, every three weeks is a new vignette. And that works for me.

[A]

I think it makes it difficult for our clips for continuity. But I agree, like, us, like, shifting studios every couple of weeks adds, like, a fresh layer. Yeah. It's important to always be fresh.

[B]

We need to, like, fresh to death.

[A]

Fresh to death. And then, like, the frames never got stale, and they could never be stale to me.

[B]

No.

[A]

But now they really can't because, like, we're always.

[B]

And now you guys miss them, don't you?

[A]

I know. I do. I do.

[B]

Speaking of frames, we have anointed.

[A]

First of all, we lost our other frame. So that one was really.

[B]

It's a very serious frame.

[A]

Well, it's very businessman. Our other frame was, like, very French Renaissance.

[B]

It was very frames of the studio.

[A]

Yeah. I can't lie. I hate this frame. But it really goes with the aesthetic. This is our businessman of the week. And don't be scared. I also thought it was Zoran Mamdani, but it's not. It's Scooter Braun because he gave Ben his courtside seats at the Knicks game this week. So that's just what businessmen should be doing. Giving my husband free things. So I, Koji, don't have to pay for them.

[B]

No. And Ben, I saw him last night. He's on such a high, wasn't he? Yeah.

[A]

He's. Everyone's like, how was it floating through life? No one's even mad at him for missing the bris. Like, no, it's like he's floating through life. I imagine it's like I'm trying to think of, like, a comparable whatever. Like, I'm happy for him. Yeah. So Scooter Braun, businessman of the week.

[B]

Thank you, Scooter, for making his dreams

[A]

come true big time. Today is Friday. It's also Love island. So we will do a recap.

[B]

Y.

[A]

What a terrible episode. What a terrible group of people. I only have negative things to say. So if you're looking for, like, a positive, fun review, maybe try chicks in the office. Like, this is not gonna be it. And that was not Jade. I like those girls. I was just, like, making a joke. And we also have Queenie and Weenie.

[B]

They're positive. They're pretty positive.

[A]

They are positive.

[B]

Like these girls.

[A]

Yeah, of course. No, this is like the most garbage, like, show. Like, we're always just like, you suck. You're ugly. Ugly, stupid, fat. Yeah. And that's just us, like, talking to the mirror. So we'll do that. And then before then. What's up with you?

[B]

Not too much. You like my cup?

[A]

Is it a custom engraved with our logo Yeti cup?

[B]

Yes. But wait, there's more.

[A]

And it's our logo. It says the toast and the cup

[B]

itself is like pink, sparkly. And then the back says the place looks great.

[A]

It always does. That's really cute.

[B]

Isn't that really cute? Like, Yeti sent me a bunch of just stuff out of nowhere. All this, like, toast branded. I was using a cup yesterday that also had. It was like a camper mug. I look like I'm sitting around up on fire.

[A]

I did see with your, like, cooler mug.

[B]

So if you can't tell, I ran out of my disposable cups. Understood. And I just got this drink where, you know, everyone sends me drinkware. I guess I'm a big drinker.

[A]

I'll say.

[B]

I drink a lot. I'm an influential drinker. And so people, like, want to send Me. The latest and greatest in insulated. Insulated.

[A]

Insulated beverages. Yeah.

[B]

So the place looks great. This was really thoughtful.

[A]

Extremely. I love when there are toasters at high places.

[B]

Yeah. This is really insane.

[A]

So what are you doing this weekend? Like, we're not gonna be together for it, so, like, what's up?

[B]

I actually have a big weekend endeavoring to potty train.

[A]

Right, right. And I'm sure you're also, like, just gonna be, like, so happy, like, making amazing memories without me.

[B]

No, it'll definitely be a lot quieter without the co journal.

[A]

Probably, like, Saturn worse. Right.

[B]

Yeah. We're gonna have Shabbat tonight, though, which I'm excited about, because I. I'm in the mood. I'm in the middle Feast. Sorry, that's rubbing in.

[A]

Oh. Oh. She doesn't cook the whole time I'm here now. She's cooking up a feast. Okay.

[B]

I. I actually do cook a lot. I. I cuss a little. When you're here, I cook a little, but I don't know. I feel like Olivia's been hosting Shabbats and, like, I want to make one

[A]

her life easy and for her, and

[B]

so I don't know what to make, though. I'm. I'm needing, like, inspiration.

[A]

You know what I did, actually? I did something crazy last night.

[B]

Crack.

[A]

Crazier.

[B]

Meth.

[A]

Crazier. I, like, used AI. Okay, so GoPuff has a new feature where you can, like, talk to, like, this AI. I think it's Grok. It's like an integration.

[B]

It is Grok.

[A]

And I was like, hey, Grok.

[B]

You know, Grok is in my car, so I know I'm acquainted with Grok.

[A]

So I always try. I always get my snacks, like, whenever. It's like, Love island and I need food. Like, we go to Gopuff, and I'm like, I get the same things every time. Like, flips, and they're good. True fruit. Like, it's great. But I was just feeling, like, in a snack rat, and I was like, hey, I can you, like, you know my history, like, but I'm looking for, like, new snacks. And they were, like, describing my. My snack taste back to me and then sent me, like, a bunch of snacks from brands I mostly had not heard of.

[B]

Serene without being sterile.

[A]

They know my style. And let me tell you, like, people are using AI, of course, to, like, go to the moon and, like, yeah, let AI choose your snacks. Like, when I tell you I wish I took pictures because I had never even heard of the brands. Delicious. That's what I was munching on during Love Island.

[B]

Well, I love to like let AI build a recipe for me, but I actually, I want to use that to like build a menu. Like I have say chicken breasts. Like what should I make for dinner?

[A]

And then they can send it to you too. You know what I got?

[B]

Send it to me.

[A]

I got Drizzalicious cinnamon flavor. Do you know Drizzle Licious?

[B]

Of course. Do you know Drizz Delicious?

[A]

I do know Drizzle Licious. And can I ask you a question about Drizzle Licious? Like, it's because I also said to the chat bot called Go, I was like, I like, you know, bonus points if it's a little bit, you know, better for you. I don't need like big, you know, things of Oreos showing up. I'm on like a weight loss.

[B]

She's not breastfeeding anymore.

[A]

I'm on a weight loss journey. And so they sent me Drizzalicious, which I think was like a very good perfect swap. And I never really. I had Drizzalicious one time before. Is Drizzle. She's still like better for you when you eat the whole thing? Like the entire.

[B]

Yes, yes. Because it's better than eating a whole sleeve of Oreos.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's still better for you.

[A]

It was delicious.

[B]

No, Drizzle Licious is really crazy. I feel like not enough people are talking about it.

[A]

Drizzalicious is like an iconic 90s like Almond mom brand. Right. That's been around forever. No.

[B]

Or it's a new brand that's harking back to that era cuz it gives.

[A]

Like walking into a health store with your mom to get Quest Chips.

[B]

Yes, yes. Except mom would not like Quest chips. It's like unnecessarily caloric.

[A]

Yeah, caloric, but it's protein.

[B]

But they weren't about protein. They were just about low calorie. Like I don't care where the calorie comes from.

[A]

Correct, Correct.

[B]

So I'm gonna get some inspo for Shabbat tonight. I'm excited.

[A]

Yeah. Well, that sounds fun. Like love when people are doing fun things. Without me, I don't know what. I'll be probably at home alone, crying.

[B]

We'll be together again soon. You're always welcome to stay.

[A]

I know.

[B]

I have your room all ready for you.

[A]

I like to go home.

[B]

Quit while you're ahead.

[A]

No, well, of course.

[B]

Levana High.

[A]

Yes, that as well. I like to go home like before the weekend because I know most people will be like, why don't you stay here in the weekend? Because then I get to, like, truly recover by the time Monday rolls around. Like, I'm start when I get back somewhere on a Sunday night. Stressful that whole week. Shock.

[B]

It's stressful.

[A]

Yeah. No, it's not stressful. Like, I perform best, like, when I'm truly settled, when all my clothes are put away, everything's been washed, all my packages are open and I need three days to do that. So. Yeah, it's weird that, like, I would go home before the weekend is over, but I'm just. I'm not like other girls. I've been trying to tell you guys this.

[B]

Yeah, no, I think we know.

[A]

You think?

[B]

I do. I do think we know that, like, I like beer.

[A]

Do you?

[B]

No. No.

[A]

And I really can't hang out with other women. That is true.

[B]

Just your sister.

[A]

That is true. I'm just like, I know. I just love beer. And like, sometimes don't you just like somebody just want to, like, have a hot dog and some beer?

[B]

I love a hot dog. That's your. You don't even.

[A]

No fun fact about me, I've never even taken a bite of a hot dog.

[B]

So good.

[A]

I. I fear that if I had taken a bite of it, like, I would like it. It's just meat between bread. Like. Yeah, like a hamburger.

[B]

I actually, I don't know if you would. It's like an acquired taste. Yeah. And it's like not in your buckets

[A]

of taste, but like, kids love it. Which is in my buckets of taste.

[B]

You know what you would love? Kielbasa.

[A]

Ben loves fucking kielbasa.

[B]

He bought some kielbasa. It's like, still in my fridge.

[A]

He buys kielbasa and leaves it in everyone's fridge. It's always something.

[B]

He always has, like, dreams of making kielbasa.

[A]

Do you not think it's crazy that I've never had even a bite of a hot dog? Like, even like a mini weenie when they serve it at weddings.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I eat the bread.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The weenie.

[B]

No, that is more like congress with who you are than if you eat the hot dogs.

[A]

But it's crazy that kids like young Sheldon. He's always eating hot dogs and spaghetti. Like, kids love hot dogs.

[B]

Hot dogs, spaghetti.

[A]

So you think it's like a, like a kid friendly dish. Therefore air to dirty. They're too far. I would like it perhaps.

[B]

Do you like applesauce?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I don't know. That's a kid friendly dish, but it doesn't like applesauce. It's a little weird.

[A]

Oh, wow. Really?

[B]

I actually like it. It's. As a condiment.

[A]

Let me say this. I like applesauce, of course, like, from a jar. But these days, I'm, like, making my own.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Does not hit the same. Fresh applesauce. Yuck. Like, where's the sugar? Yeah, but it's still. It's still decent.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yolito.

[B]

Yolito.

[A]

My friend Olivia said Yolito last night.

[B]

Yolito, mi amiga.

[A]

I was telling her. You know what I realized when she always says yolito and when I'm asking her a parenting question. So I guess, like, yolito is her parenting philosophy, which just track with, like, what I think what, like, she is, like, as a mom, because I was like, you know, we're getting to this phase where, like, all the progress we've made with food. Like, Ruby's not eating anything, and he doesn't eat unless you put a blueberry in front of him. He only wants to eat blueberries. I'm like, is that bad? Olivia was like, yolito.

[B]

Well, what I would say. You didn't ask. You didn't even.

[A]

You weren't there.

[B]

The berry phase is very real. So you have entered the berry phase. Like hair.

[A]

But we don't like berries. Besides blue.

[B]

Prepare to take out alone.

[A]

Yeah, I'm sensing that. Especially if you want to go, like, farm fresh, organic.

[B]

Yeah, it's exciting, the berry phase. It really is. It's so healthy.

[A]

It's delish. And he smells so good. It always smells like fresh fruit.

[B]

So what's wrong? There's nothing wrong with that.

[A]

No, but, like, like, protein. Like, are we, like, not worried about the other parts of the food pyramid? Does food pyramid still, like, apply?

[B]

Yes, it still applies. And, you know, always, always give it. But then that means you have to make it just for it to throw on the ground and Bruno to eat it. Literally. Yeah. I hope Bruno likes these fritters.

[A]

Yeah. Right? So we have five stories.

[B]

Yeah, I actually really like the stories today.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

There's a little bit of tpn.

[A]

Okay. Positive TPN toast.

[B]

It sounds like it's not even my disposition. Like, the stories are, you know, objective. It's not even me. Like, Like, I. Even on this day, if I had yesterday's stories, I'd say they're bad.

[A]

Toast Passion news. Is it about Elmo?

[B]

There is a story about Elmo, but that's not tpn.

[A]

Okay. Is it about Karen Reed?

[B]

No.

[A]

She's suing the state of Massachusetts. And I actually heard this morning, like,

[B]

her time's up in terms of cultural caring.

[A]

No, no, no, no. People are fucking obsessed.

[B]

And someone needs to tell Karen Reed about off campus. Like, we're not talking about you anymore.

[A]

Harrod Reed. Garrett Graham. No, but, you know, she was appealed. Like, she got app w. Reed West Wilson. Wicked witch. Karen Reed Graham. Garrett Graham. She's suing the. Like, the police force. And so all these, like. All this, like, evidence, like, voice memos of, like, these corrupt. It was really bad. Like, I heard a bunch of the voice memos this morning. Like, jail. Like, literally jail.

[B]

For whom?

[A]

For the cops. Like, really, the stuff you see in movies? Like, you didn't know cops like, that existed? Like, real, like, bad cops? Yeah. Oh, no. She's taking it all the way, too.

[B]

Oh, no go Karen. That's a blind spot for me, Karen Reid. So I'm like, bad Karen, good Karen.

[A]

Because she was, like, technically found guilty of, like. No, but I was guilty of murder.

[B]

I don't know if she was found guilty of what to whom, if. If we the people think she did. I really don't know anything about it.

[A]

So I'm like, it's a free Karen Reid situation. She was, like, the main suspect. Her boyfriend was a cop, and he was, like, friends with a bunch of cops. And, like, literally, they were out one night. He, like, ran back into the house of his cop friends and never came back. And, like, the police friends, like, literally framed her, like, 100%. And they're all still, like, just, like, cops. And so she's taking them down.

[B]

So. Good Karen.

[A]

Good Karen.

[B]

Yeah, Good Karen.

[A]

Justice for Karen. And justice. She did appeal, and she. It was totally exonerated.

[B]

Oh, so she's not in prison?

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

Good Karen.

[A]

No.

[B]

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

No, she's a free woman.

[B]

Well, let's get into the stories, and you're gonna have to wait and see what the TPN is.

[A]

[B]

Thank you, Tortor.

[A]

You're welcome. My daughter.

[B]

Our first story and in order of no importance, I would say first storter. My first storter. Florida Georgia Line reunited at CMA Fest last night. Oh, if you didn't watch our sister store story, she had nobody didn't. But so early she had the minute by minute update. Oh, so CMA Fest was last night. Star studded lineup.

[A]

CMA Fest is like a huge country music festival that takes place like all over Nashville.

[B]

But then at night there's like one big stable lineup. It's all aired on television. It's really tv.

[A]

They do an ABC special like in a few months.

[B]

But Florida Georgia Line reunited, hugging, sang two songs.

[A]

That's like a really big deal.

[B]

It is a really big deal. Margot was like making me aware of how big of a deal it was, whereas I don't know if I would have like realized if not for sure. She said the stadium was just jumping.

[A]

Well, we forget now because so much has happened in the world and especially in country music that like these two, when they were.

[B]

There was nothing bigger.

[A]

There was nothing bigger in music. Not even in country. They had transcended genres. They were so big. I would say they were just as big as like right now. Like Morgan Wallace.

[B]

I agree.

[A]

They were fucking huge. And every song was like a years long hit. If it's meant to be, it'll be Cruise. Baby you a song you make me want to roll my way.

[B]

That was like the biggest song of the decade.

[A]

Did they do Holy or is that

[B]

Justin Bieber or Justin Tay?

[A]

No, it's Justin Bieber.

[B]

But them, it's them who Holy.

[A]

Your holy.

[B]

That's Florida Georgia.

[A]

Like insane fucking records. So this is a really big deal. I don't want to be negative. It does feel too little too late. Like, sorry that you two like couldn't get along enough. I. They, they like swear they keep politics. They keep doing press that like because the rumor was that like one was MAGA and one was Lib and like the wives couldn't get. And it was like disgusting like so it was actually so disappointing that like politics came between them. They have since gone on to do press saying that like it's not. That rumor is completely false. I don't believe. Sorry, you can't convince me.

[B]

Sorry, I don't like maybe there was something additionally that happened. And you're, like, not lying in that moment because you're talking about the additional thing. But. But you guys don't like each other to your core. Not the men, I don't think. I think it's a situation where it's like, the men would have been fine, but their wives hated each other.

[A]

You know what it reminds me of? Taylor, Tommy, like, the tennis players, like, boyfriends were friends before, and the girls came and they couldn't be friends, and

[B]

they couldn't be friends anymore, but they would like to be friends. And they didn't have an issue with each other, but, like, the wives couldn't get along.

[A]

I also think that they both went out and did solo work. One of them, more as a songwriter, Brian from. Brian Kelly is his name from. Who's the one with long hair? He was the one who, like, wrote all the songs, and Tyler was the one who sang all the songs. So they really were a perfect duo. Because then Tyler went out to, like, to have his own solo career. I'm like, okay. And then Brian, I'm sure, like, continued to write music, but, like, they kind of. They're one half each of a whole partnership. So neither one of them had, like, insane, killer solo careers. And I think that they both thought, like, they were so big that they could go on to do anything, and that was not the case. I'm curious. I don't think they can, like, pick back up where they left off. It's been, like, five years.

[B]

I think that the music would speak for itself. Like, if they want to produce a song like Cruz or Holy. Like, I'm listening.

[A]

This is so crazy.

[B]

Like, if the music is great, we're back.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

And I think there's no reason why it can't be.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They looked happy to be together. It, like, didn't seem awkward.

[A]

Good.

[B]

It looks like they, like, missed the fans and, like, the spotlight.

[A]

They left a gaping hole, like, in country music, especially in, like, the CMA ACM Awards circuit. Like, every year was, like, best duo were group. Best duo or group.

[B]

Like, Dan and Shay is feeling sad today.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Because they were, like, working on a comeback. They did. You see, they released this, like, big statement, like, about how, like. Like, they're coming back.

[B]

I didn't know they left. They did. They've been enjoying these last five years. Yeah.

[A]

No, and they were like, they coast. But, like, they were also a huge duo, and I think they were working on getting themselves back to where they once were.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And now Florida Georgia Line has entered the Conversation. So it's seriously battle of the duos.

[B]

And, like, Brothers Osborne.

[A]

But the thing about Brothers Osborne is, like, they're consistent. They never left us.

[B]

Are they a duo or a band?

[A]

Two brothers. Duo.

[B]

They get nominated for best duo.

[A]

It's the same category. It's like, best duo. Maddie and Tay shout out to Maddie.

[B]

Yeah. And they always get, like, the token nominee, even though I believe that they are so talented.

[A]

You know, I think Maddie and Tay are separating. I think I saw that.

[B]

I don't want to talk about this anymore. It's too upsetting. Like, that's why you couldn't only work

[A]

with family so hard. Can you go blind from crying in the dark? Was it ever really real? If he don't feel. Feel like I feel that's why you

[B]

should only work with family. Look at the Jonas Brothers. They can't quit each other.

[A]

I wish they would. No, I'm kidding. Like, one thing about me, like, I'm a Jonas Brothers troll. Like, I always make fun of them.

[B]

But you're their number one fan.

[A]

But I'm their number one fan.

[B]

That's like. But that is a troll. It's true. Like, and, like, you're keeping them in business. Troll.

[A]

It's like, a lot of love. No.

[B]

An interest.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you're keeping them in business.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Much like trolls.

[A]

Do you know the, hey, Jonas podcast, which we did, like, deeply clown on, has been making a little bit of news.

[B]

It's been making headlines. I actually want to read some of them to you because it's like, this is why. This is, like, what happens when you start a podcast.

[A]

Like, a corny iHeartradio podcast.

[B]

These are the headlines that emerge. Kevin Jonas reveals Michael Buble is on his sex playlist.

[A]

Okay. This is where, like, I, like, I feel like Kevin has sort of, like, a stellar reputation, and like, the podcast is now hurting him.

[B]

Yeah. And then, Joan, this is not the

[A]

type of you talk about with your brothers, like, your siblings.

[B]

No. And, like, there are some people who should share what's on their sex playlist, and there are some people who shouldn't.

[A]

Right. And the thing we love about Kevin Jonas is, like, is his stability is, like, he is that father figure. He never left us. He always lives in New Jersey. Like, this is disappointing. What are the other headlines? I saw that Joe.

[B]

Joe Jonas says his kids have given him purpose again as he praises co parenting with his ex, Sophie Turner.

[A]

Well, I didn't see him praising co parenting. I just saw him saying that, like, you know, he has to leave A lot.

[B]

People magazine put a nice spin on it.

[A]

Yeah, they did what he said, which was like a nice thing is like he works really hard, they leave a lot, they tour a lot. And it makes it easier to do that when you know, like you're working for your kids, like for your kids to have a better life. And so like when he gets home and like gets a hug, the world's problems just melt away. Which was like sweet. He also just did like he was starting the sentence, like just saying like he is a. What he was trying to say was that like he's divorced and has his kids alone sometimes. So he was like, I'm a single parent. Which I feel like calling yourself a single parent when like the other parent

[B]

is alive and in the picture.

[A]

Yeah. Is a weird thing to say. So he said, I'm a single parent and I co parent. So you're not a single parent because you have a co parent.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know what the linguistic correctness is because like unless the other person has zero custody or like zero involvement. Minimal, let's say minimal custody, actually. What if they just have like supervised. We can.

[A]

They don't financially kill you.

[B]

You're still a single parent.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You're 50. 50 custody. Is that called single parent? Like I'm not going to say yes or no because we're. I don't know but like, I think

[A]

like you can say it, but it's misleading.

[B]

But for those people who are in these situations, like, please let us know, like what is the proper single parent?

[A]

So he said I'm a single dad. He said I'm a single dad and I co parent with. I didn't know if he was going to say Sophie, my ex wife, My children's mother. Yeah, it was like a really like intentional way of saying it.

[B]

That's really crazy. I think that's a lot that goes single comma dad.

[A]

Single person who's also a dad. He's actually not single. He's in a relationship. I think that there's a lot that goes on between him and Sophie. Like I would imagine.

[B]

Yeah, I would imagine they have like two young children. They're in each other's lives all the time.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Especially if they're co parenting. That means like drop offs every other day.

[A]

Yeah. That's a lot of seeing one another. Yeah.

[B]

I don't think it's. It's like out of sight, out of mind.

[A]

So Florida Georgia line.

[B]

So Florida Georgia line. And I'm. I'm interested to see what happens next.

[A]

Yeah, like, it's hard to get back to the place where, like, you're at that level where, like, every song was, like, you know, the Middle by Zed, like, the biggest hits of the year. That's a hard place. They left. They left.

[B]

But I. I think that the culture is ready for it because country music is having a moment. It's not like people have moved on. No.

[A]

A lot of artists are, like, migrating to country.

[B]

And, like, a lot of the biggest songs on the charts right now are country, like Shaboozy and Ella Langley and Morgan and Luke Home. So, like, everyone's all ears.

[A]

We're open. Yeah.

[B]

All ears to country.

[A]

You know what they say about those rising tides.

[B]

They raise all of the shades. Our next story is a perfect segue because Taylor Swift's new song for Tour Story Tour Story five just dropped. I knew it. I knew you. It is a country music song. Did you listen this morning?

[A]

I did. It sounds like. Right off of Folklore. It sounds like Betty.

[B]

Oh, I think it sounds off of Debut.

[A]

Oh, no, it sounds like very acoustic like that. And it is a Jack Antonoff production.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

She released this, like, long Instagram caption all about it.

[B]

Let me tell you, when I woke up this morning, it was the first thing I thought about, like, the songs here.

[A]

That's so funny. I had no idea. I was scrolling TikTok and I was like, why?

[B]

I was really trying to, like, identify, like, why is this top of mind for me? It's exciting. I guess it is exciting because it's like another song that I can add to the list of, like, they think they're listening to Toy Story and I get to listen to Taylor.

[A]

Exactly. I had no idea. I'm scrolling TikTok. Someone's using it in a TikTok. I'm like, how'd you get the. So it's out.

[B]

So this is what Lurd said about the song, which I listened to once, and it was like, giving classic, like, Taylor. Like, for me, it's like when you hear Tim McGraw. That's, like, the vibe where I was taken to. But you were taken to Betty. Folklore. But it's very country. She said, writing this. And she posted a video of, like, her dressed up as Jesse when she

[A]

was a young girl.

[B]

She said writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. That makes sense. Creating something for Jesse was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once.

[A]

Months.

[B]

And being a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 till now was an adventure. I Plan to be on to infinity and beyond.

[A]

And that sounds like a pregnancy announcement. Like, not to be toxic.

[B]

Oh, I'm cracking up. I just. I just thought she didn't know how to, like, end the statement without being like, I love watching Toy Story today.

[A]

She's gonna be watching Toy Story forever. Why?

[B]

Well, she already told us she wants a family on Wishlist.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

But I don't. This, to me, sounds like I want a family, which we knew.

[A]

Yeah, of course. Of course.

[B]

Thank you to the brilliant Andrew. I guess she didn't have to include that line.

[A]

I definitely, like, I'm just looking.

[B]

And people read into everything.

[A]

Yeah. These days, I'm looking into, like, things of this nature as a mother myself. So, like. Yeah, that's what. That's where my mind went. Sorry I'm toxic.

[B]

Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable Randy Newman for the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you've meticulously woven over the years. Yes, he has.

[A]

She loves to meticulously wave the.

[B]

You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it. By we, I mean myself and my pal Jack Antonoff. So they are not beefing, even though I think that they are. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. I knew it. I knew you from Toy Story 5. Available now.

[A]

Park G. It was, like, a good song.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, I obviously need to listen to it more.

[B]

I need to listen to it more, too. It's like, a lot of. It was just like, a lot of houplan.

[A]

Like, now, you know, like, now it's here. I can't tell you yet what I think.

[B]

And, like, we were so excited, and now we know how it feels for it to be.

[A]

Isn't it such an amazing feeling?

[B]

Except, like, I don't know how it feels yet.

[A]

Right.

[B]

On this one.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Because I need to listen to it more. I'm excited to, like, be in the car with the kids and be like, do you guys want to hear the new Toy Story? Jesse wrote a song like, thanks, Laird.

[A]

Yeah, thanks, Laird.

[B]

Like, you know, life is a highway means everything to me.

[A]

Right. Because it's technically Lightning McLean.

[B]

It's Lightning McLean. And when he did the version with Lizzie Hale, that's Mater. And that song goes platinum in my car. No, I think it's made.

[A]

I know you said matter.

[B]

I always say matter.

[A]

But it's made.

[B]

But it's mater.

[A]

Beautiful.

[B]

I've tried to, like, fix myself. My pronunciations have gotten so crazy. The other day, I was reading something, like, the way I read something out loud or in a book in someone's caption. Okay.

[A]

It's like in your brain.

[B]

You were reading in my brain. I was reading it, and my brain went to pronounce the. The word M E, N, U as me.

[A]

And I don't think that's a problem, per se. I think it really speaks to how you meticulously weave all. Imagine, like, you're just bursting with imagination. Me, new me know. And, like, who says it's not? Who says who says who?

[B]

You know, who says you're not perfect?

[A]

No, mine's better. Who says who? You know, I wanted to tell you something when we were talking earlier in the week about other songs Taylor has

[B]

written for by the way, the list goes on and on. Now.

[A]

Let's just. Let's go on. We completely forgot our favorite movie ever, the Hannah Montana movie. She wrote crazier. And you'll always find your way back home. Like, two of the most important songs on that soundtrack. Her track record when it comes to, like, writing songs for soundtracks is impeccable. No.

[B]

And, like, this isn't her big one where she's trying to get an Oscar. Like, she's been doing that for forever.

[A]

And there was one more that I forgot was. Oh, today was a fairy tale is from Valentine's Day Insane.

[B]

And I'm sure there's actually more that, like, we.

[A]

That we're not even.

[B]

It sounds like she comes out with, like, a song a year.

[A]

Keep your eyes open. Doo doo doo. That's also Hunger Games with save and sound.

[B]

Save and sound. But nothing is better than Are you. Are you.

[A]

Sweeter than Fiction is also a soundtrack song. I don't know what movie it's from, but your eyes wider than distance this life is sweeter than fiction from some random movie. Yeah. Okay.

[B]

Well, enjoy Toy Story. I knew it. I knew you, and I did know it.

[A]

And I do know you.

[B]

It's true. Are you ready for our next story?

[A]

What?

[B]

Number three?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Elmo is getting dragged, as he should, as his NBA for his NBA neutrality. So Elmo's neutral NBA Finals post causes chaos with Knicks fans. So Elmo's official Twitter account, which is actually like, a very controversial place.

[A]

It is. It's something. There's always drama.

[B]

Yeah. And whoever runs it, like. Like, is it reading it? Well, yeah. No. And remember when they started, like, posting, like, I love Adolf Hitler.

[A]

Oh, my God. Yes.

[B]

And I love how this gets more outrage than Hitler than when Elmo went on an anti Semitic tirade.

[A]

Yeah, that was really, like, low key crazy of Elmo.

[B]

So whoever has the password to Elmo's Twitter, like, he's not doing a good job.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So Elmo's official Twitter account wrote, regarding the NBA Finals, he said, elmo hopes both teams have fun, which would have

[A]

been, like, cutesy and fun. Like, you know, we're supposed to be teaching kids sportsmanship, but we're also supposed to be teaching kids about pride. And where the is Elmo from? Astoria. Like, your team is literally playing and you're rooting for both teams. Like, what? Okay, yeah, we need to teach kids sportsmanship, but what about teaching kids about community? What about teaching kids about, like, having pride for your hometown? He's getting dragged, and rightfully so. Like, seriously, cancel Elmo.

[B]

Yeah, they're saying Elmo.

[A]

Elmo is over. Party.

[B]

Elmo, you're from the city. Pick a side, man.

[A]

Eric Adams got involved.

[B]

Oh, yeah. He posted a meme bruh. Elmo, I don't think you understand what's at stake here.

[A]

No, it's true. And it's like, this is a historic moment for your fucking city. You think Sesame street is. It's in fucking New York City.

[B]

You think he just fell out of a coconut tree?

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

No, you. He lives in context, in the context

[A]

of all in which that came before him, and he's ignoring that context.

[B]

It is like, you didn't even have to say anything.

[A]

It's true. But here you are, like, disgracing your city, and how do you think this makes Jalen Brunson feel?

[B]

Yeah, he did it all for Elmo.

[A]

So Jalen Brunson was asked in a press conference, you know, the. Like, the back. The. The last. Last row in MSG tickets are going for $7,500. What would you. What show would you want to see that? Like, what would you pay $7,500 for? And he thought about it for a really long time, and then he was like, a live Michael Jackson show. And it's just crazy to me. Like, Michael Jackson. Do you know what I mean? Like, I know. I know. He's like, the greatest performer of all time, but, like, he also did that shit.

[B]

Like, let me tell you something. Jalen Brunson could say anything. He could say Adolf Hitler. No, he's.

[A]

He would never. His wife is Jewish.

[B]

He could say a live Adolf Hitler speech. And people would love it in this moment.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What are you gonna do? Take him off the team?

[A]

No, I know. And it just makes me think, like, about. Like, they're like, people just really can't quit Michael Jackson. Like, he's in the culture a lot right now because of the movie. And I. Well, I don't think the movie was, like, an enormous success. People weren't, like, boycotting it or anything.

[B]

No. And it wasn't a flop. It wasn't like Snow White.

[A]

No. People who saw it loved it. They got dressed up like, people can't quit Michael Jackson. I never really, like, started. So, like, it was not easy. I didn't have to quit.

[B]

I haven't quit. I listen sometimes.

[A]

Yeah. I cuss a little.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I listen to a little mic.

[B]

Black or white and rock and Robin.

[A]

No. Like, the shit's good for sure.

[B]

No, it's so good.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then, like, am I supposed to quit Jackson 5 as well?

[A]

No.

[B]

Why should other people.

[A]

Why should the other members be punished?

[B]

Like, I've got to teach my kids the ABCs.

[A]

It's true. ABC's is such a good song.

[B]

They're all really good.

[A]

Wow. Okay. So you're just separating the art from the artist.

[B]

Yeah, I think so. I. I don't think about it too hard. And if I do, like, I. I wouldn't.

[A]

You would stop? Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. But I just don't really think about it and. Yeah, I guess that sort of happened, like, slowly, you know.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I just had a couple songs stuck in my head and, like, the only way to get them out is, like, listen to them stream. Yeah.

[A]

Support.

[B]

Do you know that, like, when you have something stuck in your head, you

[A]

have to listen to get it out

[B]

in order to move on from it? So. Yeah, that's what I did.

[A]

Okay. Wow.

[B]

I got stuck. He's sort of like my number one

[A]

artist of the year. I'm scared of your Spotify wrapped.

[B]

Maybe I.

[A]

My number one artist of the year is 100% going to be Charlie. Hope she can come on Namesake.

[B]

Charlie. Charlie.

[A]

Yes. She just does all those kids songs. The Meadow in the sand and the Sun Lived in Old Mother Turtle and her little Turtle. One dig. The thing is, like, all those kids songs are just insufferable. Like the wheels, the ones you have to do. Wheels on the Bus. And she just puts, like, a little bony verse. She's like a really sweet little voice. She has her little guitar and she makes it, like, really sort of aesthetic. So much to the point where you don't know that you're 100 listening to those dreadful songs. And then she has her own hits over in the meadow. I love the mountains.

[B]

And then my favorite, rolling hills. I love the flowers. I love the daffodils.

[A]

And then her best song is and the green grass grew all around. All around. And the green grass grew all around. Like, slay Charlie Hope. Thank you for, like, not being insufferable.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

She's gonna be my number one artist of the year, like, 100. And Imogen Heap. Although I do think I took Imogen Heap out of my. Like, you can block someone from your data.

[B]

Oh, interesting.

[A]

Because we have that song.

[B]

I feel like that song is blocked on everybody's Spotify. It should be, because it never came up when I listened to it all year. For Charlie. Charlie. Oh, I also meant to say about namesake, Guess what came through.

[A]

About namesake. Guess what came through? I don't know.

[B]

My POV Gifting.

[A]

Okay. You have to film a huge review for Tick Tock. I mean, for Tick Tock. For Patreon.

[B]

Okay, I will. It's all, like, makeup primer, right?

[A]

Yeah. So it's skincare, but it's not skincare you're supposed to do, like, before bed or anything.

[B]

It.

[A]

It's like serums, creams, lip balms, all to do before your makeup. Let it set. You do, like, the whole seven step, whatever.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And then you do your makeup as normal.

[B]

Okay. They sent me so much. I took, like, a video of it. I was going to post and, like, thank my girl. As if we're, like, such good friends.

[A]

No, we are definitely like, Michaela Nara's, like, most. I guess Charlie Puth also, but, like, most famous fans for sure.

[B]

So I was very excited. Thank you, POV team.

[A]

You have to have to film a review.

[B]

Okay, I will. But it will be the next time I do my makeup.

[A]

Yeah, so do I. Yeah.

[B]

[A]

Yeah. I'm at a wedding, but I'm makeup free.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

Oh, your weddings on Saturday. I can't wear makeup. No.

[B]

Like, it's really important to me to not wear makeup.

[B]

thank you. 15 turn.

[A]

You're welcome. Jerk.

[B]

Our next story. Alex Earl is going to be starring in next Benson Boone music video.

[A]

Oh yeah, we were just talking about music videos like and how it's kind of like a necessary step for all it girls. I'm surprised Alex Roll hasn't been in one already.

[B]

She might have, but maybe not the one that she needs. And I just want to say her blurred lines moment.

[A]

Yeah, right. Because I think that like influencers get tapped a lot for like music videos. Especially like the female music videos with like lots of girls and like girl gang. I'm sorry, I'm not talking about that like this. There's a very specific music video girl archetype that I'm talking about. It has to be a male artist. Sorry. And the influencer has to be like one of one influencer in the music video, not like a big group of influencers. And she has to be like the romantic lead love interest.

[B]

And the song has to be amazing.

[A]

Okay. Wow, that's a lot of pressure.

[B]

Yeah. So this song is called the Time of My Life. Has it come out yet?

[A]

I don't know. Like this is such a slay on Benson Boone's part.

[B]

Benson has amazing songs.

[A]

He does. They use one of his songs in Love island last night. Right. Moonbeam, Ice cream. Taking off your blue jeans. Dancing to the movies. Cause it feels so mystical, magical.

[B]

And then he also they use another one, Mr. Electric Blue. He's a madman.

[A]

And another one a good hard working people clown on him. But he kept his head down and he keeps just like churning out the hits. And I think he gets clowned on a lot because he makes what people call like, like grocery store music.

[B]

I don't clown on him.

[A]

And I just want to say I like grocery store music because it's good.

[B]

Like if you like Michael Jackson, try Benson Boone. It's true.

[A]

No, if you like Freddie Mercury, I think it's like more so what he emulates like with. I think it's similar sparkly jumpsuits and like the mustache does a little on the nose. Borderlines on like being like a Vegas impersonator.

[B]

Yeah. But it's like if, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[A]

And I just want to say like Mark Zuckerberg like came really close to ruining Benson Boone because he's obviously There

[B]

is like an association that I can't, I can't untangle.

[A]

Benson. I guess like Mark Zuckerberg, Wicked Witch, Madame Marble, Wes Wilson, Gary Graham. I love this, by the way. Benson Boone. I guess Mark Zuckerberg is like a huge fan and, like had him perform at a birthday party and then like he had this like iconic jumpsuit that like Mark Zuckerberg then put on and like did a flip and like, I just don't want to share like a favorite artist with Mark Zuckerberg. Like, I just know in my bones Mark Zuckerberg is a big time loser and like, I just don't want to have anything in common with him. Like, we kind of don't like, I'm good.

[B]

Yeah. I just hope like whatever amount Benson got paid was worth it for like the knocks to his reputation that it did. Now he will come back from it and I'm a big fan of his, but there is an association that I can untangle. The more hits that come out, the more time that goes by is better. Yeah, this is good. But like, it definitely like took him down a road that he travel, meant to go down.

[A]

Oh, speaking.

[B]

So I hope it was millions of dollars.

[A]

So I don't know if you saw Niall Horan on the Voice Platypus. What's it called? Therapists. And Jake was like, you know, you performed at my Friends About Mitzvah and I have to assume he's talking about his friend Alice Grange, who's Elliot Grange's sister, whose dad is like Universal World Music. Yeah.

[B]

Like, because why do you assume it's her? Because Denial of Horn performing her about Mitsu.

[A]

Yeah, One Direction did.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

And I'm trying to think, like, who else would it be? And he was like, well, we only did one moment. Like, I know who you're talking about. And it was in London. Like, it was definitely.

[B]

Oh, yeah. And they're Lundish.

[A]

Yeah, it was definitely. And he was like, wait, what? And he was like, well, we only performed at one moment, so. And it was so fun. They definitely got paid so much. It was such a. Hilarious. I wonder. I don't think Jake was there because I think they met like later in life.

[B]

I wonder how much they got paid. Yeah, maybe five million. A million each.

[A]

A million each? Yeah. Well, maybe at the time it was when There were only four Zane left. So it was only 4 million and

[B]

they got them at a discount.

[A]

It was seriously hilarious. Like the way Jake said he was like, you know, you were friend of my friends about mitzvah. And Niall, like, knew what he was talking about immediately because there was literally only one.

[B]

I didn't know that 1D had ever done that.

[A]

Getting One Direction to perform at your bas Mitzvah.

[B]

Yeah. Because, like, a lot of people get performers for their weddings or bat mitzvah, but it's not really someone I want to, like, hear from.

[A]

Yeah. I see sometimes on TikTok, like, they get, like, it goes viral, like, you know, like a. The performer performed and it's like, no. Like, I never wish I was there. There.

[B]

No. But, like, I wish I was there for Bobby and Caitlyn's performance from Rascal Flats.

[A]

Yes. That Bobby Bones Flats sing Fast Cars and Freedom.

[B]

Like, if I am having a performer at my wedding, I want it to be, like, one of the five artists that I love. Not. I don't want to shade an artist, but, like, not a random individual.

[A]

Who were you thinking? Like.

[B]

Like, I don't know. People just get the most random people and they think it's cool that they had a performer. Yeah. Just because I'm like, I would had a performer, but I would rather hear the DJ play my favorite song.

[A]

Thousand percent. The original. No.

[B]

Or just my favorite song by my favorite art artist.

[A]

You know, like the itunes version. The original version.

[B]

But not even, like, would this person's song even play at this party.

[A]

Right.

[B]

If they weren't the performer.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So, like, I think it should really be, like, very carefully chosen.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's like Harry and Meghan had Ellie Goulding perform.

[A]

That's who you would choose.

[B]

That's amongst who I would choose.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Rascal thoughts. Ellie Goulding, of course.

[A]

Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce, like, famously performed at, like, a huge. One of those Indian billionaire weddings.

[B]

Rihanna as well.

[A]

Rihanna as well.

[B]

Well, Andrea Bocelli is classic.

[A]

Taylor has performed at, like, only the weddings of her friends, like, in, like, an acoustic, very chill way.

[B]

Would you want Taylor to perform at your wedding?

[A]

Like, obviously, yeah. I don't even know why I was pretending. Like, well, maybe like, the attention would be taken. Yeah. Shut up. Yeah, of course.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Again there I agree with you. Like, there are a couple of people whom. But I'm also, like, shallow. Like, a performer is a performer.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

Whoever we can get, whoever fits the budget. Like, yeah, yeah, I'll take. You don't want someone. Like, I'm think you.

[B]

I don't know why. I just, like, don't feel like throwing someone in the.

[A]

Yeah, I'll take Ben Platt and I would take Ben Plat.

[B]

Like, well, that would be an amazing performance.

[A]

He would just have to sing behind a curtain. Like, we don't want to see you, but we want to hear you.

[B]

He would be amazing.

[A]

I know. And he has, like, really beautiful songs grow as we go.

[B]

But it's like, it's never that sort of performer. Like, it's.

[A]

No, I know. It's always just like. I know what you're saying.

[B]

Like, someone like.

[A]

And it's always someone, like, viral. Like an. Like a. Like a Tik Tok song.

[B]

Like, someone like, so 20 years ago.

[A]

Oh, I love that.

[B]

So who's performing?

[A]

What?

[B]

Where'd we get here?

[A]

Alex Earl Benson Boone.

[B]

He performed at Mark Zuckerberg. But anyways, yes. If I'm Mark Zuckerberg, Benson Boone fits the bill. Yeah. So I'm excited for the music video. Yeah, me too. Our fifth and final story is tpn.

[A]

Oh, my God. Okay, I forgot that this was, like. I was waiting for this.

[B]

This Anna Faris is sharing the celebrity who finally greenlit the movie the House Bunny after she pitched the film 24 times.

[A]

Oh, I didn't realize she was, like, the brains behind it. I thought she was just a star.

[B]

So Anna Faris was just on a podcast, Happy, Sad, Confused, and she was talking about the House Bunny, her iconic movie where she plays a playboy bunny who becomes a sorority mother. She said, we pitched that movie 24 times all around LA, on and on. The 24th time, it was Happy Madison, Adam Sandler's company.

[A]

Oh, that. I didn't know that it was a Happy Madison production.

[B]

He was like, all right. We didn't even get to pitch him. She said that he saw her in the waiting room and said, what are you doing here? And she said, I'm here to pitch you a movie. And he said, what's it about? And she said, a Playboy bunny who gets kicked out of the mansion. And he was like, okay, all right, that's pretty funny. And so they walked away and sold it. And she said, that was our last chance to get it sold.

[A]

There was no one else.

[B]

Like, it was amazing. And then six to eight weeks later, I was on set in LA with a crew of like, 200 people. Then she went on to say, like,

[A]

this is such, like, not that he needs any more. Like, good press is like a huge knot. Like. Like the check in his column. It is.

[B]

She went on to say the film was life changing for her. She said it was a life changing role. Yeah, fundamentally, career stuff aside, playing a character that had so much compassion and lack of judgment, a character who really led with her Heart. It sounds really corny, but I think it made me feel like it was easier to make friends in a weird way. She said, that's simplistic. But I loved playing a character who was not competitive with other people and who was really wonderful. That made me want to lead my life with compliments. It felt like kind of a way to combat jealous feelings. Feelings.

[A]

It's actually really true. Like, the character you forget, like, is this, like, she's like, a bombshell, obviously, but she's like this kind of not airhead, but, like, really just sweet, naive young woman who's, like, never lived in the real world because she always lived in a Playboy mansion. Like, she had butlers and everything done for her. And it's nice to hear that Anna Faris, like, looks back on the role so fondly. Like, the whole experience. That's always what you want to hear from your faves.

[B]

Yeah, it's really true because it's one of our favorite, most formative movies.

[A]

It is like, like, first of all, I loop it into a genre of like. Like Sydney White, like, college. Like, movies set in college towns that, like, just aren't, like, vulgar or, like, they really shaped us. And it's really, I guess they really had, like, a nice moral of the story. Be kind and inclusive.

[B]

They're also like, romantic coming of age comedy.

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

Romantic coming of age comedies.

[A]

I would say romantic coming of age comedy for sure.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

West Wilson, Mad Marble, Benson Moon.

[B]

There's one. Karen Reed. So I thought you would like to hear.

[A]

Anna Faris is doing a lot of press because her movie, Scream. Scary movie. Like, scary movie. And people, like, all of a lot of clips of her doing press are, like, getting taken out of context, being like, she's drunk. It's like, you guys don't know Anna Faris. She's quirky as, like. Yeah, she's an OG podcaster. I don't think there's anything wrong with her, honestly.

[B]

No, I don't.

[A]

It is, though, just crazy to imagine there was ever a time where she was married to Chris Pratt. Like, two people who could not be less compatible with one another. Another could not.

[B]

No. I could see how they got married, but I can understand why they got divorced. Yeah. So it's always fun to hear from her.

[A]

It is. It is. She's a serious.

[B]

Such a fave.

[A]

She's such a queen.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

She really. What's my number? Like, her rom com, her roster. She kind of, like, picked up the crown where Katherine Heigl left it off. Like, she.

[B]

But Then she set it down.

[A]

Yeah. Didn't want it as most great like rom com queens do. Kate Hudson like that. You have to set it down.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You can't. You can't be like a rom com star forever. Like there's an era and you have to know when it's time. JLo was a ROM com queen. Like, let's talk about Love Island. One of the worst episodes. Worst group of people. Like, I hate them all. First of all, I don't have like a positive thing to say about one of them. They all had bad episodes last night. Bea, like sitting and coaching Charlie's brother Zach into like how to talk to Kenzie.

[B]

Like and pretty much just like smooth talk her. Don't mean anything that you say and just say what she wants to hear as you can get out of this hole. Like, that was not a good look for women. No.

[A]

And I want to say like, I hate to use this phrase, but not a girl's girl. Like that was actually low key evil.

[B]

That was like sort of like, you know, I'm a guy. Like I like beer and I like

[A]

that something I would do.

[B]

I thought that was a really bad look for her.

[A]

I completely agree. It was a bad. The episode was bad for.

[B]

And I didn't get a chance to like get on Twitter and like gauge perception, but like she should be getting canceled for that. Like hate for that. Like that's a send. Hey. But of course it's a hateful show where we hate people. So like I hate that was a

[A]

bad moment but also like bad episode for Kenzie. Like you're being so fudgeing dramatic. Like he was with you for three seconds. He got whisked away and like that's what the show is about. Like you like refusing to talk to him. You look so immature and stupid. Stupid.

[B]

So I imagine it's partially about the heartbreak, but more so about like first of all, it's embarrassing like that someone like literally looked at you and was like, you're not my type. And then moved on and is like so happy to be with someone else. Like it really is a blow to the self esteem and like if you're.

[A]

She's also taking what he said out of context. He was just saying like, yeah, like I think you're so great. But like, you know, I usually don't go for blonde.

[B]

No, I know, but it just like hurts to hear that you're not someone's type and then they've moved on and you're standing there alone. It's just. And if for an emotional girl, like, that's just, like, tough. And I also think. Think a lot of them are, like, so scared of being sent home because it's still early. The followers haven't popped off yet. Like, if you get sent home at this first ceremony, like, you did not successfully become an influencer during your time on Love island that you quit your job for. So it's. And you know how that island is, like a psychological torture chamber and everything just feels like the biggest light. And so to take, like, an emotionally fragile person and put them through rejection and jealousy and heartbreak, like, yeah. I mean, but to watch it, it's like, are you okay? Are you crazy?

[A]

It was a bad episode for Melody. She looked so crazy. But it was also a bad episode for sincere. Like, first of all, you are not handsome enough to be, like, playing games like this. Like, you're lucky to be with Melanie, the prettiest girl here, so why don't you just sit down? And also him, like, admitting to cheating. Like, that was weird.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It was a bad episode for everyone.

[B]

Okay. It was a horrible episode for Melanie.

[A]

Yes. Oh, yeah.

[B]

That girl is crazy. Crazy. And when she started to say at the beginning of the episode, like, I feel like people get sick of me, I'm like, oh, no, stop. You're so sweet. And, like, she's, like, a little bit

[A]

sick of you because you're craz.

[B]

But she's like. She broke up with herself.

[A]

She's very offputting. Yeah.

[B]

She broke up with herself by, like, insisting that he wants to go explore. And then she's, like, rattling off all these curse words like, you want to explore. Happy. Dora, Explorer. Like, just so crazy.

[A]

Talking to Kenzie. Like, two crazy. Telling each other. Exactly. No.

[B]

And then so rude about K and her name. K is sitting there listening to you, trying to calm you down and tell you it was not anything. And then she goes. She doesn't even know her name. And then she says it wrong. Wrong. Like, she's nasty. She's insecure.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It was such an ugly look. And that's what I mean. You could be the prettiest girl there, but when your insides come out, it doesn't matter what you look like.

[A]

Although this kind of is what I wanted in terms of the girls. Like, I feel like in the last season, it was like the girls never fought. It was like they were riding for each other so hard, which is, like, sweet, you know, women, supporting women. But that's not really what I want to watch. I want to see, like, being mean to Each other. So, like, I do like that there is a little bit of infighting. And, like, they don't all, like, sisterhood, like, ride for you. That is what I asked for.

[B]

So in that sense, no, in that sense, it's fine. But, like, in terms of her being able to be in a relationship, like, she's going to get nowhere. I also, like, don't think sincere did anything wrong. He in talking to K. First of all, he obviously was attracted to Kada, and he still didn't get off his green spot. So it wasn't like he was just, like, going where his eyes took him. But. Okay, things are settling in. It's day.

[A]

Whether they saw the bombshells after they chose red or green.

[B]

What do you mean? Oh, they just had the kiss.

[A]

They only kissed the people that stepped on red. So, like, they came out after.

[B]

Oh, interesting. Okay. So less of a credit to him. It's day two, though. You are interested in this person. Have a conversation. The conversation was not flirty or a betrayal of Melanie at all. I know it's painful, but that's literally what we're here to do. If helocs in a day two, like, that is silly. That's actually. That's what Huda and Jeremiah did, and it was silly. He's done nothing.

[A]

You have talk.

[B]

And then in that challenge. Okay, so he texted someone else while

[A]

he was dating someone.

[B]

Okay. Some of the things that people had

[A]

so very bad episode for Trinity. You gave somebody a blowjob in the car with your mom. Like, that's disgusting. And I look at you differently now. And I think this group of people is disgusting.

[B]

I think that's crazier than texting. Of course, than texting. Like, and also, how many people up there have cheated on someone? Like, how many? And, yeah, they're young and immature and like, horny individuals. Like, they're not, like, beacons of morality. So. And just because, like, he did that in the past, like, doesn't mean necessarily that he's gonna do that here with you. Like, you have to give someone the benefit of the doubt when he was like, she's putting all this other shit on me. It's like, he's completely right.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

He has not acted wrong yet.

[A]

No, you have to have those conversations.

[B]

She broke up with herself in that conversation. And, like, if I'm him, I don't care what you look like, I do not want to be a part of this.

[A]

Agreed. Agreed. It's like, not worth the grief.

[B]

She spiraled out. I was in shock. That someone, like, could actually conduct that themselves that way when I know so

[A]

many people are watching.

[B]

Watching, and they know so many people are watching.

[A]

She really thought giving the Huda Mustafa.

[B]

She really thought she was, like, had the moral apart.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And also, you could tell at the end of the challenge.

[A]

Well, because it's like, all the other girls, like, gassing her up. Like Kenzie.

[B]

No, no, she didn't really need much.

[A]

Yeah, right.

[B]

You could tell at the end of the challenge that whatever was read on the last card was going to be sincere because. No, he hadn't had a yet.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So she was listening and everyone was joking. Is it sincere? Like, everyone was being sarcastic because they knew it was him and she was flipping out that it was him.

[A]

Him. Yeah. Sorry. I'm still stuck on Trinity, like, that.

[B]

I'm stuck on, like, when I. When I think about, like, the. The most, like, morally things that happened in the challenge, I think it's that

[A]

and, like, the way she, like, talked about the story after, like, she was so proud. It was seriously disgusting. And I just think, like, the episode was so bad for everyone. Like, I now just. My overall opinion of the group is much lower in all regards than it was before I watched last night's episode. Episode.

[B]

Yeah, I agree.

[A]

Like, I hate all of them. And I just want to say I like Gabriel and Kenzie.

[B]

Oh, and what about Sean and Kenzie?

[A]

Oh, so Sean and Kenzie.

[B]

That was insane.

[A]

Which part?

[B]

Okay.

[A]

That they kissed at breakfast. Like, hello.

[B]

Everyone's acting like they're married. It's been one day. And that's what I mean about, like, the breakfast and, like, all this stick. And everyone's like. And it's nice that they're, like, coupling off and actually, like, trying to make something happen. But, like, Kenzie and Sean, like, he woke up, woke up in the morning, like, got into her bed and like, like, gave her a kiss and then made her breakfast. And then she, like, kissed him for breakfast. And it's like, that's what you do when you're like. Actually, I know in a couple not

[A]

to be so prude, but, like, I wish, like, kissing.

[B]

It doesn't mean anything.

[A]

Yeah, I know, because, like, when I saw them kiss, I'm like, wait, I'm like, did I get something?

[B]

Claudia. When I saw them kissing or in the bed together in the morning, I'm like, did he get her in her bed in the middle of the night? I rewound to make sure to see what happened. But no, when they woke up in the morning, he Went over to, like, wish her good morning. Morning.

[A]

Shocking stuff. Like, genuinely shocking. And I just, like, I'm mad at Bia. She was being, like, so corny last night. So, yeah, I want, like, and I think she just thinks she's, like, really hot. Like, she is because, like, Gabriel chose her and he's definitely the hottest guy by a mile. But, like, yeah, she. He should hook up with Kenzie. Just, like, start some.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I saw the fun also.

[B]

It seems like the BAE is, like, with Gabriel, but also shrinking Sean along because she was like, I didn't know that that meant that it broke up our couple. Yeah. So I just feel like I saw the funniest tweet about Tangled web.

[A]

So Gabriel didn't come here for fame. I don't think he knows this is on tv. He came here to fuck. Like, he's serious.

[B]

I saw all these tweets about him.

[A]

Like, he's cracking me up.

[B]

I saw people, like, saying that about him.

[A]

That Gabriel, he's, like, very erotic.

[B]

He was like gabasdeak. Where are people getting that sense?

[A]

Hybe is, like, so sexy, like, and he is by far the best looking guy. And, like, he's just making out with people. People, like more.

[B]

I guess I must have been too. I did a little too much admin. I like, he's made out with Trinity,

[A]

he's made out with Bea. He's definitely gonna make out with Kenzie. Like, and he just has this, like, very sexy aura to him. He's a very good looking guy and people are. And it's like the Brazilian, you know, he's speaking Spanish to Bay.

[B]

Yeah. He's laying it on thick. People are starting to say that, like, they see something brewing between Zach and Trinity. Did you see that?

[A]

No. I think Zach is so happy to be with Kate. He can't believe he got one of the prettiest girls on the villa.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And the Bombshell, it's like. And I do think the bombshell, like, vibe wears off eventually. But, like, in the beginning, like, you girl, and everyone doesn't know her and she's mysterious. Like, to be with the Bombshell until the next bombshell comes is like a very exciting feeling.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And she's very pretty.

[B]

She's so pretty. And she seems nice.

[A]

Yeah. Even though she was giving, like, a little bit like, schoolyard bully when she was watching the fight across. I know they were being crazy, but she was, like, narrating the fight.

[B]

She was being real.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, she was.

[B]

That's what I'm like When you said like, I want people to like be mean and honest like that we're watching a crazy person blow up her relationship for nothing. Because I'm sitting here laughing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Agreed. Agreed. Agreement. Kate doesn't even know that she disrespected her.

[A]

Doesn't know her name, even though she does. Yeah.

[B]

Yes. So that's the sort of energy that I am here for.

[A]

Yeah. And I kind of need Kada to like start with sincere just to make her crazy.

[B]

She's like, it was so shocking to see because she seems so like sweet and, and like happy with sincere and like they were the strongest couple and now they're, they're the weakest. Seeing Bryson, Kenzie and Sean are stronger than them right now. Yeah.

[A]

Seeing Bryce and Trinity like have to like crawl back to one another. I know. Was huge.

[B]

I think everybody loves them. Yeah.

[A]

And like, the thing is there's really no interest from other people to either of them. So they really are like stuck with one another. So they should just make the best of it and become like, you know, Molly May and Tommy.

[B]

Yeah. No, I think it's like a really cute like origin story and they probably don't realize it, but I think a lot of people are rooting for them now. Yeah, it's hysterical.

[A]

Well, so let's dive into our final segment of the week, Queenie and Weenie of the week where Jackie and I just like to sort of wrap up the show, wrap up the week, take a look back at a glance and give out two awards. Queenie of the week and Weenie of the week is pretty self explanatory. If you act like a Queenie this week, you might be nominated for Queenie of the weekend. If you acted like a winning this week, you might be nominated for winning of the week. It's not that big of a deal. It's a seven day title. Let's start with Queenie. I think we have similar Queenies.

[B]

I don't think so. Okay, I, I took a left turn.

[A]

Oh my Queenie is Tyler Cameron.

[B]

I figured it would be generous of spirit.

[A]

Of course he got this huge opportunity to go to the NBA finals. You know, he has a girlfriend. Like he could have brought any and he brought my husband and just very generous of spirit. He posted this really cute video of Ben.

[B]

You actually shouted out, so cute.

[A]

It was so cute.

[B]

Their friendship is so cute. Do you need a hat?

[A]

He wore the hat to the party tonight. And so Tyler Cameron, you are my Queenie of the week.

[B]

He is the Queenie of the Week. But I actually have, like, a historic queenie, and I think it's the first time that I can recall of somebody who was previously a weenie. Wow. Yeah. So a couple weeks ago, my weenie was, like, the SI swimsuit editorial team for the four covers.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And this week, they are my queenie for the Runway show.

[A]

Yeah. And it was huge.

[B]

And that was, like, the. The benchmark. It was so cool. I'm excited for the Hulu show. Like, they crushed it. Firing in all cylinders. And they're the queenies of the week and the former weenies. That's really beautiful. Yeah.

[A]

Write it down.

[B]

Yeah. Or someone just remember.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Remember.

[A]

My weenie of the week is, of course, gonna be Love island coded. And there were so many people to celebrate. Like, it's unfortunately. And I do like him, but, like, he just, like, there was a moment that was genuinely the definition of being a weenie, which was in, like, Bryce in the Paradise Cove. Like, thought he was gonna have a threesome, and he got rejected by K. Like, I'm sorry. I feel bad because, like, I'm seriously piling on. And, like, it's embarrassing enough to have

[B]

to, like, have that moment, put himself out there.

[A]

Like, let's make fun of the girl who put herself out there creatively.

[B]

No, that, to me, like, wasn't weenie. It was just.

[A]

No, I'm sorry. He thought he was having a threesome. Like, that's insane.

[B]

You think so?

[A]

Yeah, because he came in, he was like, can I get in?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And like, that's what you say when you start a threesome. And she was like, oh, no, sorry. You're just here.

[B]

Like, oh, my God. Yeah. That. I can't think about it too hard.

[A]

It's very upsetting. Like, that's someone's son. Like, it's upsetting.

[B]

Yeah. There's so many weenies in the village.

[A]

I know so many weenie villagers and

[B]

so many behind the scenes weenies. Like, everyone who's, like, contributes to this show. It's the most frustrating.

[A]

It's ripe for weenies. And the unfortunate part is, like, I have not seen one queenie yet. No one is acting like a queen.

[B]

No. I don't even know who's gonna be, like, a fan favorite or our favorite. Because Sean. So far, the two won't be the same.

[A]

Sean is the J. Of course not. Sean is the Jalen.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Maybe Kenzie is the Amaya.

[B]

I like Sean.

[A]

I like Sean, too. I think he's very genuine and earnest.

[B]

Yeah. And even though, like, the mayors tried to take him down.

[A]

Weenie of the week, the mayor. I don't know.

[B]

I. I like, like, I like the fact that the mayor is, like, keeping Sean on his, like, and keeping the four and, like, keeping Sean being like. I feel like I'm holding him to a high standard and he is meeting the bar.

[A]

It's true. As like, a father and a cop, there actually is, like, a higher standard.

[B]

And, like, so I'm appreciative to the mayor for, like, highlighting that for me, because I would have just been like, oh, he's a former cop. I wouldn't have thought about it. It's true. But the mayor has, like, made me realize, okay, he left that behind, which is a, like, a radical thing to do. And you're coming on the show and how are you going to conduct yourself?

[A]

Right. And you're representing your city, your family and your city.

[B]

Yeah. And I think he's conducting himself in a very.

[A]

I have no notes. The only person I really don't have notes for yet.

[B]

Maybe a queenie Potential.

[A]

Queenie potential.

[B]

Yeah.
