--:-- Good morning, girlies. It's the toast. It's Jackson Claude and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show. The fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast and happy thursday hope everybody's having a thargelicious thursday and speaking of somebody thargy it's jackie hi koji why are you looking at me like that i don't know i don't like podcasting with you in person you're always looking at me at you we could move away from each other well maybe for tomorrow because our frames are set smile like there's two chairs on the outside maybe we need to go farther we need some distance like you're seriously looking into my ass like you're good at making eye contact I've always said even though like I haven't held a traditional job in many many years that the next time I have a job interview which you know god willing is never um if somebody says you know the classic interview question what's your biggest weakness and it's like you want to be honest but you don't want to be like I suck yeah yeah I can't do any jobs I think I have the perfect answer and it actually is my greatest weakness I cannot hold eye contact with other people it makes me deeply uncomfortable. I'm glad you agree that you can't do it. I thought you were about to be like your strength is your eye contact. No, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about me. Your strength. No, no, no. My greatest weakness is my inability to hold eye contact. I find it really uncomfortable. If you watch a podcast, I'm always looking up. I'm like telling a story and I'm like looking at the ceiling. Okay. I don't think you should say that in an interview because I do think that's like a red flag. Oh, you think it's like a bad weakness? I think it's like a weird thing. I understand why you don't want to maintain eye contact and hopefully like you don't have to go on a job interview yeah anytime soon like just to be clear in this hypothetical scenario if i am going on a job interview like that's what we need to be worried about because that means things didn't work out here and that's i i agree but for future yourself which you know god willing i think that's like a really big weird thing to say that's like would be like saying like i find people tasty like i like to eat people it's like serial killer stuff but why would somebody say that? Like, I find people tasty? Why did you say that? Is that a quote? I find people tasty. Someone who can make eye contact chops people up and eats them Oh okay I guess like if I can look someone in the eye I also find them tasty but how could I allure them into eating them if I can even look them in the eyes a problem for another day but I just think it like that not something that you should admit to someone who doesn't know you like me I love you you want to look at me don't look at me look away don't look at me that's fine I'm literally love to look up I do I'm always talking to the lord like I'm always looking up I understand I'll like look here there look at I won't look at you too hard. And I wasn't looking at you in any sort of way. No, when we first started the show, like you were definitely like giving me. I was definitely maintaining eye contact. You looked at me like I was tasty. I was definitely maintaining eye contact with my partner. That's like a weird thing to do. I just want to say having like good eye contact is weirder than having bad eye contact. I agree. I don't know if the comments do agree. I agree. I don't have good eye contact either. And now we're just talking about eye contact. So I just find it all uncomfortable. I'll look over there. Let's be newscasters today. Okay. Hey guys. How y'all doing? Welcome to the toast. Happy Thursday. What did everyone do last night? We had tacos at Trout's. We did have tacos at Trout's. They were really good. They were really good. I've been trying to eat a lot of protein to like stave off endless snacking. And it does help when I eat a lot of protein. Yeah. So that's what I've been up to. Just thinking of ways to eat like real protein in addition to, you know, protein chips. Bars. Yeah. But it's like not what I'm talking about. Like I need to find more meat, eggs. You know what you should do? You should go on the Weight Watchers nursing program because like ground chicken, ground beef is zero points. You can literally eat as much of it as you want. I'll have to look into it. Same with eggs. Like I think that's a zero point food. She said I have to do Weight Watchers and I have to watch my weight. That's what she said. Yeah. Who doesn't? Everyone has to watch their weight. She said I should do Weight Watchers. I just want you guys to remember that the next time I say anything mildly offensive to her. Was that offensive? I said you should do, I did the Weight Watchers nursing program. I didn't lose any weight. I certainly did not watch my weight. I just like tried not to get enormous. You did? Yeah. What'd you eat? On the Weight Watchers Nursing Program? Yeah. I'm a volume eater. You're definitely an ENP. Especially when. I'm a volume eater. No, especially when you're breastfeeding. Like it's just about how much you can take in in a given period of time. And so that's why I was eating like a lot of taco meat, which is zero points if you get like a lean ground beef or a lean ground turkey. Anything with ground, you know? We love ground. I. What do people eat like before the ground? Well, they ate ground. But like before the ground machine. You can grind without a machine. I guess you can. People like breast of course as do we I love breast Leg and thigh I don love leg and thigh I exclusively white meat And you know a steak Oh and to be clear on the Weight Watchers Nursing Program and just the Weight Watchers Program in general, I'm pretty sure white meat is zero points, but like darker meats that have like more things going on, not zero points. I think. What about a steak? I love steak. I make a nice steak. I haven't made steak for you yet. Do you want to come over for steaks? That's a poor reflection on you, not me. Do you want to come over for steaks? I would love to come over for steaks. Okay, let's set a date. A mister and sister? A mister and sister. We're doing a triple date with our husbands and our sister, and we're calling it sisters and misters. We're not. Olivia is, and she's really trying to get the name to catch on, so let's just give it to her. It's cute. I just feel like, I don't know. It's giving six chicks. You love that. I do. But it's like, I don't know if we're having a themed night. Let's have a game night. Okay, let's do Mahjong, because I took my Mahjong lesson, and we haven't played. We haven't even talked about this on the toast. We have to play before I forget everything I learned. Jackie took a mahjong lesson at her neighbor's house when I've been begging my bitch ass sister since I'm in high school. Everyone is playing mahjong now. And I just feel like it's worth mentioning that I've been playing since like the eighth grade. Shout out to my best friend Alicia and her mom Esther who taught us how to play. And like, it was like not a cool thing. We would like sit around and play mahjong and everybody thought we were weird. And now everyone's like mahjong. How did I get here? Oh yeah. And so when I learned how to play, I was so excited because it's a four person game. And what do I have at home? Three fucking sisters. I bought a square card table. I bought like a set from Amazon. When I tell you, did we try once or we never tried? I don't remember. I feel like we tried once and it ended up in like a fight. Nobody wanted to play. And I was like begging. The card table went unused. I believe we actually threw out the card table a couple of months ago. I need to get a card table. You do. Well, I was toggling between, you know, just a foldable card table on Amazon. Or like an expensive game table. There was a $3,000 one on Scout I was buying. Right. I think you should get the card table. Which one? The foldable one. Yeah, yeah. But then I was, and I wasn't going to get like the fancy one. I can barely play. That's something I can treat myself to after a couple wins under my, after I take all your money. Yeah. Lameen was getting like hella competitive with it. Good. That's like the kind of energy I've been begging you guys for. We should play for money. And when I win, I can buy my card table. Sure. That's a great idea. So then it's like a communal card table because we all kind of paid for it. Yeah. We need to get a game going before I forget everything I learned. Of course, I already have a party board. and racks and stacks. She has all the accoutrement? Racks and stacks She has all the accoutrement but none of the skill From shout out Oh My Mahjong But none of the skill Picking those out was a real joy for me and that is motivation to play because it a party game that's incredibly pleany. It's a pleany game. So, yeah, keep saying I have none of the skill, and I'm gonna whoop your ass. Good, no, yeah, I'm bathing you and Olivia into, like... It's just hard, because I have a newborn baby. That's actually why we haven't played. Yeah. Okay, sorry. No, no, like... I'll just go kill myself, okay? Yeah, for sure. Because I'm down to clown. I've been wanting to play. Even for the lesson, I had to wear him in the carrier because I have a baby. Right. Yeah. A Velcro baby. Yeah. Okay. So, sorry. So, sit down. Yeah. Sorry. How are you? I'm doing well. What did I do last night? Not much of anything. Oh, yeah. Kind of a big update on my life. How you said yesterday, Max turned two. Ruby rolled. And I told everybody on the Patreon, yeah, my baby's not rolling and every other baby is starting to crawl. He rolled. He rolled. Not a big deal. He sleeps on his stomach now. flat front back rolls forward you need to roll forward oh no problem oh you need something behind me i can get that too um so not a big deal like if your baby's not rolling he will don't worry is it everything that you hoped it would be yeah it's amazing yeah it's amazing does he enjoy i mean he never had like a sleep problem yeah i think a lot of people like wait for their babies to turn just so they can sleep on their stomach because they're like not sleeping well you know my king 12 hour king never an issue which way yeah and now it's just like you put him to bed on one side boom sometimes i check the camera i'm like are you even in there he's in the corner like like I literally didn't see him just like a little bit of a panic attack but motherhood is beautiful that's very exciting we're all very proud of him yeah it's kind of been like a big week for my family and he's sort of just like on his own time like he he's kind of like his mother in that sense yeah more like his father I was gonna say more like his aunt his mother who's his aunt Margo just like a little stubborn oh I was gonna say takes his time like his father right slow that's very generous phrasing not lickety split like his mama showing up early I was actually talking about this before we started. Like I'm such a, I don't know if people know this about me. Like I'm a chronically early person to the point of like borderline embarrassing. Like don't you have a family? I am everywhere 20 minutes early. Like always. 20 minutes is a long time. I allot 30 minutes to get anywhere. And in New York, it usually takes like 15 to 20. Now I'm like a commuter while I'm here and it's not that serious. But I am always, always so early to the point where other people, when they're on time, I'm like, you're actually late. Like, we've been here all day like i was actually early you on time i'm like you're actually late like we've been here all day like i was actually early you were today whereas i'm usually like on time slash late because you have a velcro baby because i have thank you for understanding um and i was still like after you like i saw your car and i was like oh i have to get here early like i was just early oh you saw my car and i saw your car i'm like bitch is still before me and i was early i am always early and i just i think it's now that we're talking about greatest strengths oh that is that's a good one to share with and it and it's True, too. So I would say, so I feel like that, and I want to be honest to my future employers. So yes, let's do mock interview. Ready? Okay. Three, two, one, action. So Claudia, we're really excited to interview you today for this position. I'm sorry that like your show. Previous career didn't work out. Can you explain this 11 year work gap? Can you explain this gap in your career? Yeah. You know, I can. And please do. Oh, sure, sure. um you know business is a funny thing miss ashrae and i'm sorry mrs ashrae i know you have a velcro baby at home and when i say you're looking mighty tasty today um when referring to my 11 year age gap i feel as though um you should mind your own business okay when referring to the 11 year gap in my my resume um i started a business and you know what makes me such a great candidate for this job candidate I take risks and I know failure and I wouldn't trust anybody who doesn't know failure and as the great Taylor Swift once said no one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire and that was me but I guess I lost and now everyone knows because I'm here interviewing for this job so you would say you were failing forward yeah and there's no shame in failing while pursuing your dreams correct and that's like a good thing you should harbor and I was pursuing my dreams when I'm young that's the time to do it correct what would you say are your greatest strengths in the workplace you know among my many strengths of which there are many I would say my greatest strength is my ability to manage time I would say I'm a chronically online person you know as my great great great grandmother once said you're chronically online chronically on time I'm also chronically online and that's why you should hire me as your social media manager um but I am a chronically on time person And as my great, great gran once said, if you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. And if you're late, well, that's just unacceptable, dear. And what your biggest weakness As I sure you could surmise during this interview I do really struggle to maintain direct steady eye contact It something I very aware of and something that I actively work on in both my personal and professional life But it is something that at times I do find challenging. That was a good answer. Why do you think that is? Dig deeper. It probably goes back to my childhood and never feeling fully accepted by my bitch older sister, if I'm being honest. Yeah, Olivia. She's so rude. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you for your time today, Claudia. One of my weaknesses is I don't like touching other people. Come on. Give me a hand. Why the left hand? It's just a reach for me. Clammy. Now that's why you know why I don't want to shake hands with you. Oh, and to be clear, I don't even want this job. Okay, you're a bitch and your office sucks and you have no snacks in the pantry. I checked. Well, thank you for your time today. Thank you for your time today. Thank you more for your time. Thank you the most. Thank you more than anybody. Why don't you break the microphone? You're like Ben. He probably sat here yesterday. Oh, yeah. Ben did record in the studio yesterday. Should I spoil who their guest is just because I'm annoying and they got like the most famous person in the world on their podcast? No, but give clues. Okay. Do better blank. That's it. Perfect clue. Perfect clue. If you. Oh, real ones will know. Yeah. It's only for real ones. It's only for real ones. Do better blank. It's Eileen Davidson. That's my clue. Good clue. Thank you. How are the stories today? It's Dan Stevens. That's my clue. Oh, should we just tell them who it is? No, no, I'm sorry. Yeah, Dan Stevens is a great, oh, I love it. It's Lady Mary. The clue is Lady Mary. If you can't guess it, well, you'll just have to wait. Yeah, yeah. How are the stories for today? They are good. Like for Thursday, we're going to continue to update the Celeb Mom Talk drama. Today is the day Traders premieres this evening. I've been seeing TikTok ads for it. So like, it's not missing me. Okay, great. I'm so excited. Oh, also, if all goes to plan, Redheads will be coming out today. We recorded yesterday. I was downstairs. I heard the cackles from below. It was really fun. The girls caught up. Lots of like non-book talk just catching up because it's been months and we're hysterical. So whenever that drops, you should listen to it. I think I will.

As she should. To her advantage to showcase her new song, as she should, everyone's talking about her. I'm talking about the song. Yeah. Were you on the toast when her, no, she had her first song come out called Mature. I think it was Ben and it was perfect. Cause like Ben's obsessed with Hilary Duff. And we were really hyping it up because Were you on the toast when her, no, she had her first song come out called Mature. Were you on the toast when her, no, she had her first song come out called Mature. I think it was Ben and it was perfect. It's like Ben's obsessed with Hilary Duff. And we were really hyping it up because before it came out, Hilary Duff's back in music. She's done amazing music. And now she's married to this big time magazine editor, Matthew Comey. He's one of the biggest music producers in the world. Like there's no way this could be a bad song. There's no way this could flop. And we were so wrong because the song Mature that she put out was genuinely like a bad song. Like AI actually could have made a better song. um so for the second song I had like little to no hopes and those hopes were met right where I was because the song is also really bad but it also now has like kind of crazy lyrics mature did too kind of had like sexually explicit lyrics this is a little bit more overt and it's also referencing an iconic moment in pop culture herstory so please go on so she put out a snippet of the song where she's lip-syncing to her own song and um in a field these are the lyrics and unfortunately I'm gonna have to read them out yeah and it's giving when Jackie had to read the lyrics to WAP and like Bruno Mars with Sexy Red or whatever. Your favorite artist. Bruno announced he's dropping new music. Oh, really? Yeah, I think at the end of this week he has a new album called Romantic. And Luke Holmes. And Luke Holmes, that's his story. So we'll talk about music at the end. But Hilary Duff's new song, here are the lyrics. I only want the beginning. I don't want the end. I want the part where you say, God damn. Back of a dive bar giving you head. Then sneak home late, wake up your roommates. I want the highlights 10 out of 10, the butterflies from holding your hand before we swept us under the bed and we practically became roommates. I'm touching myself by the front door, but you don't even look my way no more. If you thought I had trouble making eye contact before, I literally can't look at you after that. Okay, let's get into it. It has to be done in order for you guys to understand. Here's the thing. If you are going to be like very sexual in your music, a couple of things have to happen. So I'd like to bring up two examples of women being sexy and where I think that they've done it right and what the difference is. First, you can't be so overt, right? Like sometimes you're gonna be a little bit more subtle. Like it took me a while to realize that Hailee Steinfeld's amazing song, "'Love Myself' is actually a song about masturbation." Like it actually took me probably 100 listens before I realized. And you know what, like that's good songwriting. Like it's innuendo, I believe the kids call it. And the song itself was so amazing that like whatever she was saying, it wouldn't have mattered. Now kind of a more recent reference, Wood by Taylor Swift, which is a crazy song. His love was the key that opened my thighs right That why you listen to the clean version Normally The clean version is actually better and it goes to this sentiment Yes But even so even the non clean version the song is so good. Like I actually, like I don't care. I'm able to look past the cringy lyrics. The first couple of times it was hard. The thing with Hilary Duff is she's not, doesn't have that subtle thing here. It's couldn't be more overt. And it sounds like one of the worst songs I've like ever heard. It sounds like a fake song. So having said all of that, It's going to be no for me. Additionally, I don't think this is a song put out by like someone in their marriage. Like because she's talking about like the relationship going south. And I'm sure she's talking about like, you know, a classic theme that anyone. Right. It's hypothetical. But I do also consider the artist. And so I don't want to like unless you guys are getting divorced or like you're telling me about your marital issues. I think that's weird to sing about. Yeah. I think the weird thing here is that a seasoned pop star with hits under her belt in conjunction with a very seasoned music producer are unable to make anything happen. Like they're now two failed songs. And a lot of songs fail. And for a million reasons, even good songs fail. Right. It's the industry, TikTok, whatever. This is just bad music. It's bad songwriting. It's bad beats. It's bad everything. And I'm shocked. That's the shocking part beyond the lyrics, of course. These aren't the lyrics of a happily married woman. and I believe she's happily married like her husband was just out here defending her so it's like you're singing about nonsense right why not sing why not be authentic the year of authenticity why not speak your truth or sing your truth like yeah so that's for me in addition to the fact that it's it's not subtle it's very like overt and um and also grudy I'm gonna say one more thing okay when it comes to like women talking about sexiness it applies to men too um there are just certain people who do it better and when I think of Hilary Duff I think of so many things and I don't think of like one of the first adjectives is like sexy that's not who she's played she's like fun girl next door vibes even the video that she put out is not because you she's right you could say like she's breaking free from Lizzie right she doesn't want to be raise your voice anymore even though who would ever run from that right um but even the video itself is not congruent the vibe of the video is not congruous with the vibe of the song and I think that's also why Taylor Swift's wood was so hard for people to digest because she is not historically sexy She's a lot of things, good things. You can't be all things, right? So. Someone who does it really well I think is the sexy woman of the sexy lyrics of Let me think Here Sexy woman I actually shocked she hasn come up yet because we always talk about her in this context Who Brina Brina. Sabrina Carpenter is always singing about sex. Sometimes you know that, and sometimes you don't. These days, you know it too much, and that's where the issue lies. Tears. In general, I was just listening to Taste in the Car, and it's actually when you read very much into the lyrics, like, it's a crazy song. But she does it well. She does it well. And it's a combination of aesthetic, the photos, even like, you know, everyone was talking about the hair being held, the cover of her most recent album. That's her thing. Yes, that's a great example. Thank you for bringing that up. And so Hillary's just not that girl. And to pivot to it so overtly and so quickly, and it's not reading as authentic. Maybe that wasn't one of her New Year's resolutions. Yeah. And I just feel like she so successfully transitioned from like child actress to musician to mom to actor, like actor, like successful actress. actress, that what does putting out music now do for her? I do find it interesting when people totally change lanes, like for no reason. I feel like Ariana is doing that right now. You know, she's obviously in Wicked and now she's going to be in Meet the Fockers. Okay. So Meet the Fockers, they had Meet the Fockers 2, 3, whatever. And now it's like the new one. Whereas I think Ben Stiller's the dad and his son is getting married to Ariana Grande, something like that. Okay. So she wants to be an actress. Right. And it's like, this is somebody who completely dominated the pop sphere. She had done a complete turn from Nickelodeon star to successful pop star, the biggest pop star in the world. And now turning again. I always find it interesting. And the opposite, like Selena. Selena doesn't sing ever. Now she's like an actress, Emilia Perez. And then she put out a song. Right. Yeah. So I guess like you, people can do whatever they want. It's just like, it feels like they work so hard to break out of one box just to then like go back to it. But I guess like, these people are crazy. You know, like we're talking about crazy people. We're talking about crazy people. Doing crazy things. So us like searching for clarity. We want to do this thing forever. Right. Literally. We just. Different strokes for different folks. Correct. However, I don't think Hilary Duff is a crazy person. No. Okay. So that's true. She's sort of grown up. And I think why people love and respect her so much is she's grown up to be this really sound of mind individual for somebody who was so famous at such a young age. She has a great marriage, a stable home, it appears. Good working, work-life balance. She's in hits like younger. She still has like things coming in And yeah why someone would do so crazy when it appears that she this really stable person that a good point yeah but anyway stream i don know what the song is called i don't even think it's out yet oh and i'm sorry just when we're talking about her giving head which we are talking about now because she said it we have to talk about like the time she was paparazzi do you know what i'm talking about giving head to her ex-husband right after they got engaged right there's like paparazzi pictures of him popping the question on the terrace her smiling giving him a hug and then giving him head like it's like oh are you ready for our next story some adjacent news but i can't figure out why it feels adjacent other than like they all live in los angeles but hillary duff does lead me to spencer pratt maybe because of the song come clean oh that's why yeah okay spencer pratt is launching his campaign for la mayor one year after losing his home in the wildfires he says we're gonna expose the system if you've been following spencer on social media for the last year since his home burned down none of this is shocking because at first it was like talking about him personally his family the house heidi's music and then it became you know larger than the prats um and i just want to say i love this you know actually spencer was the one who put me onto remember i was talking about that music care oh no fire aid yeah um that big festival that a lot of celebrities put on right after the fires to raise money. They raised $50 million for the fire victims, Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews, all these big people performed. And it turns out none of that money went to any victims. And Spencer was the one who put me onto like this investigation that a local news station was doing about where the money went. It went to like fake charities. Like it was really crazy. So he's just sort of been uncovering a lot of fraud. Yeah. There's a lot of fraud in California to uncover. He's also spent the last year like railing against his mayor and his governor and all the people that failed LA during the fires. and so yeah the next logical step is like well what about me right and so i think a lot of people are like well you know he has no experience and it's just like what's more experience than losing your home in a wildfire like who's going to fight for the victims of of la more than a victim you know yeah but there are other things to running are there like right now like that's all there is like yeah but we gotta go think like but california and he's running for the mayor of just la right not like the governor of California. So it's really specific to like his hometown. Yeah. Oh, and he's born and bred in LA, right? Yep. Yeah. Princes of Malibu. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, no, he doesn't have experience, but it doesn't mean he can't learn. Like sometimes, you know, experience is a good thing, but I think also that's how you get experience, right? Princes of Malibu. Princes of Malibu. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, no, he doesn't have experience, but that doesn't mean he can't learn. Like, sometimes, you know, experience is a good thing, but I think also that's how you get experience, right? Right, you have to get a job to have a job. That's kind of the theme of today. So it can really go both ways, you know. Like, sometimes you have no experience, and you're not interested in getting experience and learning. But I think in earnest he wants to help his city, and he wants to make it a great place to live. And I think he has all the right motivation. So I endorse his bid If anybody's asking me Yeah No they're not I don't live there Who else is running for mayor? Because is Rick Caruso Going to run again? Right There's always like Lots of celeb Like why do people know About the mayor of LA Like we don't live in LA Because celebrities are always Like taking stances And endorsing All the celebrities Endorse Rick Caruso And he lost But he's also I've been seeing Like he comes up On my TikTok a lot Like doing a lot of podcasts Yeah I see a lot of Because he's part of The rebuilding Of the Palisades That's like how He's a businessman He owns like a bunch of real estate in the palisades so he's been talking about that um i don't know if he's running if he i have to assume if he ran he would win but rick yeah why well because because he lost and the person he lost to was like responsible for a lot of the damage in the wildfires and the part of the la that he was responsible for rick caruso in a in the palisades didn't burn down yeah sort of like you would think logically yeah right right but you never know you never know you never know So I also think that Spencer and Heidi have a Hulu show, right? So hopefully this is being documented for the docu-series. Yeah. He told a crowd on Wednesday when he launched his bid. He said, the system in Los Angeles isn't struggling. It's fundamentally broken. It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with, while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I'm done waiting for someone to take real action. That's why I am running for mayor. Okay. Like, I don't know anything about, like, what it takes to be a mayor, but I just want to say, like, I'm compelled. I think it takes, like, gusto and love for your city and a commitment to learn. I love that. You know? Yeah. So let's see what happens. I guess the mayoral election for there is November. Okay. Early in the year. So we've got some time. Mm-hmm. We'll keep you abreast. Imagine. I would love this term for him. I know. I feel like it's not that crazy. Like, California made the Terminator the governor. Mm-hmm. Like, that's actually crazy in hindsight. Was he the governor before the Terminator? or the Terminator before the governor Terminator before governor Okay so it really crazy that he became governor Yeah It not that crazy Like I feel like he could do it Yeah Are you ready for our next story Some romantic news Shawn Mendes confirms his romance with Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine. And I did choose this story because- Her name's Bruna. Let's talk about that. During a PDA-filled LA outing, Shawn has a new lady named Bruna. Okay, am I wrong in misremembering that Shawn Mendes like came out? Remember? He was like, yeah, he was like on stage. He just sort of talking about how like, you know, sexuality is a spectrum. The things you say before you come out. And he didn't say like he was necessarily gay. I think he was more so leaning that he's like fluid, bi, whatever. I don't know. So that still like leaves space for women. For this, yeah. For Bruna. I just feel like we never followed up on that. I did it. I certainly didn't. I forgot it if I ever knew that it happened. Yeah. I don't watch clips from Shawn Mendes' concerts. I don't think you're alone in that. I think the... Sometimes you're just up there and you're just saying stuff. Well, it's kind of scary to be in front of a crowd. Sometimes you just... And you're just like... I'm gay. Yeah, that's true. Although he does have experience. It was a small crowd, actually. I feel like the trajectory of Shawn Mendes' career could actually be studied. Am I always talking about it? I don't know. What the fuck happened to Shawn Mendes? First of all, it's crazy that he became as famous as he did when he was from Vine. Not a lot of people remember that. Bruna. Bruna. That's all Jackie can think about. No, it's just like every few seconds I just need to say. Bruna. Bruda. Brudo. It's crazy that he was from Vine and then he got so famous. Like he was literally, he was Harry Styles. And then I was also thinking about Harry Styles yesterday. What happened to him? Like. Bruna. I fucking can't with you. That's actually true, by the way, Bruna. Bruna. Bruna. Bruna, Bruna, Bruna. Let me be your Bruna. Bruna, Bruna, Bruna. Let me be your Bruna. One and only. One and only Bruna. I'm happy for Sean. He deserves love. Yeah. With Bruna. Don't we all deserve love? With Bruna. I hope they never break up. I hope they're in the press every single day. Just so you can say on your show, Bruna. It's a beautiful name. So yeah, I'm getting it. Like you don't want to talk about Shawn Mendes' career. I don want to talk about Shawn Mendes career Not even because I distracted by Bruno However what I was going to say because I love you if you have more to say on the matter if you want to study it further I will study it with you. No, it's fine. I feel like there's a lot of pressure for what I would say. Don't you just feel like he fell off? Like, where the fuck did he go? He was the biggest star in the world. That song, it is it in my blood. So good. I agree he fell off. I, from my perspective of someone who knows nothing about Shawn Mendes, it felt like a Shawn's choice. Nice. Agreed. Not like he's like clawing at something that won't have him. And where do you think like Harry Styles is? Working on what's next. Because we, I remember when Harry was everywhere all at once with that tour that like never ended. We were like, Harry, sit down. Harry, take a nap. And he did. It's been like a long nap. Yeah. I think he's probably working on new music and then he'll do it all again. But like you need the balance. I feel like he doesn't want like that rock star life all the time. Yeah. So when the money runs out, he'll come crawling back. And him and Zoe Kravitz are still going strong. yeah cute yeah Channing has a lady they just celebrated their one year anniversary a youth oh she's a youth I believe she's quite youthful okay I I like him so I know as long as the lobe is there that's the thing about me and I feel like I came to this realization like a little while ago on the podcast because I would say things and people well you said it different about so hot you know and yeah I did and I would used to try to like I'd do it again yeah like I used to try to like bend over backwards to be like whoa I said and you know what normalize having different roles for different people. So like, even though Channing Tatum's the same age as Tom Brady. Right. That's exactly what I was thinking. Channing Tatum and Alex Earl, we would love. Obviously. Like, I don't know. Just some people are different. And I feel like we should celebrate the uniquity of all different people. It's true. Like, we're not all the same. It's what we said. Like, if Kelly Clarkson got a DUI, like, that would be okay. She obviously needed to get somewhere. Look what she's been through. Like, her toxic divorce and now her ex-husband passing away. Like, sometimes you need to have a martini and go for a drive. okay but justin timberlake not fucking cool think about public safety yeah like actually jail yeah prison yeah cuff him up lock her up throw away the key bruna bruna what's her name bruna what's her name bruna what's her name what's her name what's her name thank you yeah thank you sean mendez for bringing and what does bruno do like she's a brazilian actress i need to watch some of her movies okay honestly with all this talk of bruna i feel like it's a great segue and into today sponsor Grazza Grazza This episode of The Toast is brought to you by Grazza Everybody knows the Par cooking oil that kind of taking the cooking world specifically the internet cooking world by storm Because I saw everyone cooking with Grazza And then Ben brought it home. And I was like, oh, OK. Clearly all the internet chefs. I just want to say, I cook with Grazza all their different formulas. And I found it on my own. So it is the olive oil of choice for many people, including ourselves. It is delicious. It's easy to use. It's extra virgin olive oil at an affordable everyday price. So Grazza is always fresh. They pick, press, and bottle all their olives in the same season. You can even see the harvest date on every bottle. They have not one, but two EVOO, as Rachel Ray used to say, to stock your kitchens with. One for drizzle, one for sizzle. Yeah, one for squeeze bottle, also one for glass bottle if you're in your glass era, which I know you are. The sizzle, which is everyday cooking oil, perfect for roasting, sautéing, and anything you're cooking. They also have the drizzle, which is a punchy, more flavorful finishing oil that's great for dipping bread, whipping up salad dressing, even drizzling over ice cream. so that's when I first saw Graza I saw somebody on TikTok just like um EVOO over ice cream I was like that's crazy why are you looking at me like that no I thought oh that's all I wanted to say um so head to graza.co g-r-a-z-a.co use our code toast to get 10% off and get to cook in your next chef quality meal so it's graza g-r-a-z-a also great thing to bring to somebody's house if you're just like going over like for a gift that's not like you know what everybody brings flowers that's really beautiful Claudia graza.co code toast today's episode is also brought to you uh by Taylor Farms.

After two years of dating, over two years, they have split. These are two that I kind of thought were going to be together forever. It just seemed to make a lot of sense. They passed the two-year threshold and sailed off into the sunset and then came back and broke up. Yeah, I kind of didn't know they were together because there was like a year-long period, no, a couple of years, where Bill Hader was seen out with a bunch of different famous women who were, in my opinion, a little bit out of his league. there was Anna Kendrick there was Rachel Bilson and Ali Wong and I just wasn't sure who the most recent one was I kind of thought it was Rachel Bilson so I can't really mourn a loss I didn't know was still thriving and apparently it wasn't but I do feel like there are people out there that are going to be taking this really hard oh yeah like quirky people quirky comedy follower followers of comedy yeah um who are really wrapped up in this yeah they have to unwrap themselves and I just feel like bill hater um like what preceded you'll be able to answer this question what preceded bill haters like dating a couple of women out of his league brainwreck yeah i think he should send um amy schumer like a thank you card for like making everyone in the world think bill hater was cute because before that he was just like the funny guy like period yeah i don't think anybody thought about him in a romantic or sexual way and when amy cast him for like her first big movie i was definitely like okay curious choice and i was wrong and in that movie he's so cute and very desirable yeah and he's like this doctor and he's working on a marie stoudemire's knee and it's just it's attractive and then he went and dated rachel summer summer roberts from the oc that never would have happened without amy schumer so i just i hope he thanks her the way that like the way that taylor swift sends kelly clarkson flowers every year on the anniversary of the date that kelly clarkson tweeted like hey taylor i'm sorry that you don't have your masters why don't you re-record them and it was just like this earnest thing and now she sends kelly flowers every year i feel like on the day that Trainwreck came out, Bill Hader should send Amy Schumer flowers. Agreed. Maybe he does. Maybe people in movies just do that for other people in movies No actually what I learned as like a sick person obsessed with celebrities is like the way that movies mean the world to us like means nothing to them it was just like a week of work for them do you know what i mean because i remember i forget what i was one of my favorite gwyneth paltrow movies is um up in the air have you ever seen it yeah the flight attendant movie and it was like this random one movie with kelly preston it's like star studded and i think she was on Watch What Happens Live or somewhere where they brought it up and you could tell like she maybe had even forgotten that she did the movie. When you've done so many movies and it's just work for you, it's not like culture, they literally don't care. Yes, but on the other hand, when they're on the press tour for the movie. They make you think. Yeah, and they're like, this character just will stay with me forever. Spoke to me. And in a year, they're gonna be like, what was that character's name? Yeah, so I guess they are professional liars. That's what acting is. Like being deranged. Yeah. Yeah. Being a crazy person. Thinking you're someone else. Right, and like lying to everyone for a year because like more often than not years down the road that movie that meant the world to you your favorite actress like probably doesn't even know that they were in it and i say this is like i love gwyneth and she literally had no idea maybe it wasn't up in the air because i actually feel like either she was talking whatever then maybe that's maybe i'm lying so just like it happens all the time i agree with you they were like wait was i in that that happens all the time on watch happens live that's funny because they go into the vault yeah and they're like wait what you have to like study your own career in order to have a good performance on watch up and live yeah are you ready for our fifth and final story yeah an aforementioned story which is that luke holmes announces his new album the way i am coming out he set his release for his sixth studio album including a new track sleep is in a hotel room which dropped yesterday um with an announcement he said it's been a long process getting this thing going but i'm really proud of this record i've loved the song sleepless in a hotel room for a long time and it's been awesome to see how excited for the fans are for that one as well this is his first full-length album since 2024's Fathers and Sons which was really for it was like an EP it was a moment in time for people who could relate right which was literally me um but not like banger season we haven't had like a banger album since the album before Fathers and Sons which was what and which was released when uh growing up and getting older so it was getting older those were the two albums and that was released probably 2023 it's been a minute and you know what I just want to say I'm Like I'm spending a lot of time in my car. Like I'm ready. Oh yeah. I wanted to ask you like, what do you think about commuter life? I know that you like commute at home, but you're in an Uber, like you don't play your music. Like what do you think about like driving with your music and coming into the office So at home i really like going to work like the city on fire especially when you doing like commuter hours um here like it's definitely annoying to have to like load up my car um i can't lie like you're asking me a question that i don't have like a fully formed like i don't know i haven't thought about it you're not enjoying the experience like listening to your music no windows down maybe once i have a new luke album i will windows down i haven't like thought much about it honestly oh okay i guess we're not having like to me like commuting is simply just like a means to an end just like getting from a to b yeah you're not like enjoying the journey it's about the destination actually when i get in my car it is about the destination oh yeah yeah i'll just fuck off no no like my commuter energy don't your commuter energy looks mighty tasty i don't know if i'll ever get over the fact that you said that i feel like as a community we're not talking about enough. I think the community will talk about it. What should we name today's episode? Looking Mighty Tasty? Looking Mighty Tasty, which we do, you know. Hello, like, look at me. Strengths and weaknesses. Bruna. Bruna. Oh, Bruna. How is Bruna? Bruna was wearing a cone over the Christmas break. Yeah, he was wearing a cone for a few weeks. I would post the cone but not explain what happened. Yeah, you were rage baiting everyone. I guess so. I just didn't want to take the time to... Also, Zach took him to the vet, so I didn't have a full understanding. All I knew is that they wanted to charge me thousands for Bruno. Yeah, Jackie's on to Big Pet. You guys, Big Pet is out of control. If I wasn't on to them... It's just unfortunate that you are on to Big Pet with a pet who happens to have a lot of random health issues. I know, but that's why I'm on to Big Pet. That's why it has to be me. You've seen the underbelly. But if it were up to Big Pet, I would have spent four grand on Bruno over the Christmas break. I was able to get the bill down to a couple hundred. Good, good, good. Like 200 max dollars. um he wasn't able to keep one eye open for a few days at first i did think he was being dramatic and that would clear up on his own but what actually happened was one night he threw up in the middle of the night and there was red in his throw up so i was like oh my baby can't keep an eye open he's throwing up blood great time to go to the vet obviously right this is the end right Rip Bruda. So we went to the vet and they said the eye thing is like an ulcer thing. They'll give him drops and it'll cure up. He threw up last night. That was unrelated. I was like, oh, the two things are unrelated? Zach get out of here Like I just thought it was like a combo of disastrousness And then upon reflection in the photos of the vomit we concluded that it wasn throw up It wasn't blood. It was, he probably just ate some strawberries. Red dye number five. Yeah. Right. So he wasn't throwing up, but it was just like, Bruno likes to throw up in the night. That's his favorite time to throw up. And he loves to do it on the rug when the hardwood is right there. Okay. So that's like a universal dog thing. They have the courtesy to hop out of your bed to throw up. I think it's more comfortable for them. but just taking that one extra step onto the hardwood is too much he literally threw up in both corners of the rug um which was really special meant a lot to me and to zach who so he threw up normal because you know he likes to eat acorns in the backyard and then throw up in the middle of the night that's like bruno's thing and his eye was just like a little ulcer which he needed drops for and then he needed to wear a cone so that he wouldn't paw at the drops because if he did he could go blind which i do feel like is bruno's next era like the blind bruno era think of the like content I think Bruno needs a patch for yes and then I know people would say why didn't you get him the cozy cone so I ordered Bruno a cozier cone because anything for my baby boy um and he could still paw in himself then Margo came to my house and she was like she was calling animal control like she was beside herself that we would keep him in this cone and so big like the injustice of it all so she took it upon herself to order him a cone and again it was not the right cone so she like everyone can understand like we tried to be in this huge cone and that was bruno's reality now they did want me to get blood work for bruno yeah just in case he was throwing up big pet and i said you know what let me see if he throws up again and then we can order the waste the money yeah and he did not throw up again because i know my boy they don't know bruno they see all these symptoms they're like raising the alarm right right this is bruno doing bruno things Like he has a new baby at home. Of course he's going to try and go for some attention. Right. A Velcro baby. Bruno is a Velcro baby. All my babies are Velcro babies. It's true. I love them. Well, that's our show. That's our show. So thank you for all your well wishes towards Bruno. It meant the world to him. Tomorrow's our final episode of the week. I mean, that flew. You think so? Yeah. Because I was having so much fun. Oh, I was definitely having fun. But I guess it was just like, you know, my first week back. Well, it's not. Right. But there was just a lot going on. So I felt like every day felt like a full day.
