Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Monday. That feels like a real Monday because we have work, work to do, things in which to discuss, and we gotta hop to it, you know? Hey, Jax, how you doing?

Darn good. Yes. This is the grand ole Monday, the big week kickoff. This week, for lack of a better word, so many weeks in one. I feel like every episode is going to be a whole week. Well, first of all, today's episode is literally gonna be the length of a week, so I hope you're set. As the kids say.

Have a seat.

I'm sad.

We've got Taylor, we've got Travis, we've got Jax, we've got Claude, we've got Romeo.

And what's bigger than the whole sky for me on this day? And we're gonna get into it, and we won't dilly dally too much. Cause it's really, like, the thing everyone wants to discuss is a royal family.

Yeah, of course. There's, like, so many things to talk about.

What's your number one of this weekend? What part of it? Travis on stage.

Yeah, yours is. But, like. But, like, Prince William is, like, an extremely close second.

Yeah. Yeah. For me, Prince William, that's. That selfie. I'm just. It was too much. It was more than I could predict. Like, I thought I was being delusional in my prediction. Like, Princess Charlotte popping out at the concert. No, they gave us more than I could have ever dreamed of.

It was genuinely, like a weekend. Like, it was too much for anyone to even sort of withstand. And I'm glad that we got, like, a day or two process. Like, I have a lot of thoughts of things in which to share. We also have House of the dragon recap. Did you watch last night?

I did.

So we'll be doing that at the end of the show. And then the other stories, which. Good luck to them.

Good luck to them. But they. They're these, you know, hopefully they can fit on the cards. There's enough time for all of them because, honestly, Taylor sucked all the air out of the room today.

We could seriously do a fast five of Taylor's weekend in London.

We could. But instead, all tailored will be in story number one. And then there are technically other stories.

In a technical sense.

In a technical sense. But before we get into everything, how was your weekend?

My weekend was fabulous. I headed upstate with my in laws. We celebrated my father in law's birthday, and two interesting things happened to me that I wanted to share that I didn't even tell you offline. Because I wanted to get your genuine reaction.

I didn't really talk to you this weekend. You were kind of, like, in the woods getting a nature girl.

Yeah, I was. I went on a hike.

Classic turt.

Really?

Turt? Where you in a yurt?

But let me tell you. So it kind of was a yurt, actually. Your turt was in a yurt. It was just not a yurt really at all, except that it was round.

You know, like, vibes.

Our little cabin thing was. Yeah, it was round, so.

That's so funny.

Really?

Yurt.

So on one of the days, Ben and I ventured out to pick up lunch for everybody, and we placed the order. We had, like, 15 minutes to kill. So we start you. You know, walking around the town is really cute there. And we're in this, like, antique shop looking around, and this, like, guy, like, normal looking guy our age, like, comes over.

He's like, hi, guys. Hi, guys.

Yeah, yeah, guy. And I'm like, yeah, hi. And he's like, are you? And I was like, wow. They just. They follow me everywhere. I was like, yes, I am her. She is me girl with no job. Toast. He was like, oh, my God.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so then his, like, wife comes over, and I thought, you know, they were just ready to dote on me. No, no, no, Jackie, you know what they said? Seriously, I was with bed, first of all, and you couldn't have. You could have given me a thousand guesses. I wouldn't have gonna guess what they said next.

They didn't say, we love good guys.

No.

God forbid. Okay.

No, worse. They said, oh, my God. You know, we are, like, really, really close, like, best friends with maverick in front of Ben. In front of Ben. And I'm like, oh, that's amazing.

How is he?

And they were like, oh, he's amazing. He actually just got married. I said, oh, that's amazing, Mazza. I had to, you know, sob quietly in the corner.

Oh, my God.

And I'm like, oh. And they're like, they couldn't have been nicer. And I actually was curious, and I said, does he know at all, like, the lore?

Ben. Oh, two questions. Does Maverick know the lore?

Yeah, who cares about Ben? No, Maverick. Like, what does Maverick know about, like, this crazy story we have kind of concocted in our heads? And they were like, yes. We actually all got together and did, like, a dramatic reading of your book. And I said, oh, that's amazing. No, that's just what I wanted to hear. Thank you so much. I had sort of maybe it was, like, delusional of me. I had sort of just decided that the whole thing just went over his head, you know? Like, he hadn't heard. He's super busy.

He missed it.

And they were like, no, no, no. Like, he knows everything. And they were like, we were cracking up. And I was like, oh, that's so amazing. Thank you so much for ruining my day.

You know, it's funny, I feel like when you start this job of, like, trying to be a content creator and influencer, I think a lot of people, like, don't start because they're worried what? Like, people that they went to middle school and high school are going to think about them when they see their content. Like, that's the worst people to think about, watching your content when you start out, but clenching you hit a level of success, and it's like, yeah, those people from middle school and high school can't touch me. Look at me now.

Yeah.

But now it's like, no. Back to worrying about what people from middle school and high school are saying. It was, like, content.

It was such a nice day up until that point, you know? And so that was definitely a lull in the weekend, I'll say that.

And what does Ben know about the Maverick lore?

The thing is, Ben read my book.

And Maverick's name didn't jump out to him.

And what's so funny is, like, I had had a whole chapter on, like, Ben and just dating, and my dating experience was so limited that the story I wanted to harp on, like, my ex was seriously, like, a boy I kiss in the 7th grade. Like, that's how uneventful my social life was. And so Ben, obviously, like a normal human being, thought nothing of it. You know, everybody, like, had a crush in middle school. He doesn't. I think he actually. He does know how you and I have sort of never moved on from that.

Yeah, we're still here, right? Just collected on the maverick lore.

It takes a lot for me to feel, like, embarrassed. I'm not really capable. I'm shameless in a lot of ways. And I'll tell you, that was definitely a horrifying experience. So thank you to them. They couldn't have been nicer, by the way, but it was just like, oh, great. Thanks. Have a good weekend.

Yeah. Ako taco.

Ako taco. And then the second thing that happened that ruined my weekend, even though I had an amazing weekend, of course I just come here and say the two things that, you know, ruined it.

Don't worry, I have my negativities to share as well.

Amazing. So at this hotel we stayed at, I brought my kindle, but there was, like, this.

And it's gone.

What?

And it's gone.

No, no, no. I brought my Kindle, but they had, like, this little shared library where you can, like, leave and take books. And I wanted to see what they had. The only one. I really recognized what it was. It ends with us, which. Classic. And then they had Sarah's key. Now, you and I were just talking about Sarah's key because I had thought about perhaps watching it. It's a book turned into a movie based on a true story during the Holocaust. And I was, like, not gonna watch it because I really didn't want to get a pit. But then when the book was there, I don't know why, I felt like I need to, like, read this. Like, I felt like these were two signs and I can't keep ignoring it. So I started the book. I only read 70 pages, and I had to take, like, three breaks. And after 70 pages, I literally had to excuse myself when I was at the pool and go to the bathroom and start crying like it is. And I can't stop now.

Like, you're gonna finish it?

Of course. Like, how can I not finish a book about something people experience, people to live through it? I can fucking read it.

Yeah.

Oh, my God. The way I fucking hate France. Like, you seriously will never not catch me being francophobic. Okay, fuck them. The thing is. The thing is, about France, we always joke. As you know, I'm learning a lot about World War Two. I'm reading different books about what went down in Italy and what went down in France. And everyone knows France just sort of rolled over and took it up the ass and was like, yeah, Nazis. Oh, no. Pretending to fight back. They loved it. They welcomed them to take over Paris. Like, we all know we need energy, but this. And I'm gonna pronounce it wrong. Vel de heave. Is that how you pronounce it?

I don't know.

It's this event in french history that, you know, they don't teach in french schools and they don't really talk about because it's humiliating. And, you know, we all think of the Nazis like, oh, bad. Of course, bad. But what ended up happening in France in July 1942 is so disgraceful. And the french police really were out here making the Nazis look like heroes, because the french police were ordered by Nazis to, like, gather up the Jews. But they were given strict instructions, like, you know, working men, able bodied men, but the French were like, no, no. And there had been rumors that there was going to be a roundup of able bodied jewish men. So a lot of people's, like, brothers and husbands, like, started, like, slowly disappearing, going, you know, out of town. So when the time came for the roundup, there weren't a lot of able bodied men. So the french police were like, all right, let's do the next Mex thing. Let's take all the women and children and the remaining men. And they ended up rounding up 14,000 Jews in one night in July. Very hot in July. And what do you do with 14,000 Jews who you round up?

I don't know. They decided to put them in this indoor stadium, and this stadium is no longer standing, but it was this very famous stadium where cycling competitions took place, bicycles or whatever. And it's July, and they leave 14,000 Jews in this stadium for four days with no food, no water, and no bathrooms. Now, what goes on during those four days is so abhorrent. Like, the conditions. They're worse than you could even imagine. You know, people giving birth, people throwing themselves off of the roof just onto the middle of the field because it was so horrible. Just killing themselves, people dying, people throwing up, people just going to the bathroom. There's nowhere. There's no toilet. And then after four days, they. And this is where I'm up to in the book, where they separate the men from the women and children. Everybody's sent off to camps, and once they get to the camps, they eventually separate the mothers from their children, which is where I had to stop reading because it was just, like, so upsetting. Now I know through the story that all 14,000 people, nobody who went into that stadium made it out alive.

Everybody ends up at Auschwitz Birkenau, which I haven't gotten to in the book, but the book takes place, obviously, in 1942, and then also this journalist in 2004. It's a true story. Who gets, like, tasked. She's an American, but she's lived in Paris for 25 years, and she gets tasked with, like, doing a story about the 60th anniversary. She's like, what is this thing? I never heard of Velda even. They're like, nobody around her wants to talk about it because, like, it's like this shit stain on Frances resume, and she's just, like, doing everything she can to learn about it. You know, there are people who are still alive who, like, lived. Oh, and it's in, like, a residential neighborhood. And, you know, people are coming out. People are coming out of their houses on this warm, sunny day, seeing 14,000 jews in coach busses being. And they smelled it, too.

Yeah.

Like it reeked on the streets of France for weeks because you had 14,000 people living in inhuman. So I'm just starting the book, but it so upset me so deeply, and it, like, I couldn't stop thinking about the whole weekend. And I just want to say, like, I hate France. That's what I want to say.

Fair.

Because the thing is, we know all these stories about the Nazis, you know, Nazi this, Nazi that. And I just think it's important that everybody knows. Well, yes, it was ordered by the Nazis. France did it. Carried it out and did it worse than actually the Nazis had requested.

Yeah.

So they put their own little je ne sais quoi on it.

You know, there was a lot of oomph and excitement.

Yeah, there was a lot of excitement by these french policemen. And then when they talk about, like, how they got to this place, but right before everybody was rounded up, everybody was wearing yellow stars and they were kicked out of restaurants. And then there was this, you know, exhibit put on by the Nazis that ran, and it turned many people anti semitic. Just like, when they, like, lay the. When they show how the groundwork was laid to get. You don't get to a place where everyone's just showing up one day, rounding up jews. There's a lot of work that needs to be done to get society to a place of comfortable with that being like, oh, yeah, we gotta get rid of the Jews. They're dangerous. It's so eerie to what's going on today.

Yeah, I'm sure. Similarities in LA yesterday, the pro pages indian terrorists were outside of a synagogue in LA.

A kosher restaurant.

Kosher restaurant. Trying to block people from going into the synagogue. They beat up a jewish woman.

Yep. Broad daylight.

Yeah. Fights breaking out left and right. There was a couple. Did you see them in the Range Rover?

Yeah.

And they had a baby in the back.

Yeah.

Thankfully, the baby was taken to child services because when the terrorists show up, like, with their child.

Yeah. They literally came to beat up jews with the toddler in the back seat.

In the car seat.

Yeah. Disgraceful. Very similar to, you know, 1942 France. Energy and. I don't know, I just feel like. I feel like I do this, too. You know, whenever we talk, we're always clowning on Germany in modern times, and they deserve it, and I feel like they take it. You know, they know that, like, we're all making jokes.

Yeah, they take the l and they know, when people. People are, like, a little sensitive to them, they get it.

However, everything I've really heard about Germany in recent, even months, they're doing the work. They're actively fighting against anti semitism. Vogue Germany just put 100 year old Holocaust survivor on their cover. You know what? I'm gonna lay off of them a little bit. Just a little bit. And I'm gonna send some of that energy France's way. Like, I feel like we've all forgotten. Well, at least I didn't know. Now that I know. Done with you.

Yeah, they get a little overshadowed, and they're happy to be like, yeah, no, not us. German.

It was like, Germany, Germany. No, it's, like, low key. You too, bitch. So the book is really upsetting. I mean, everybody who like to dm me about it, they're like, this book will ruin your life. Yeah, you'll be thinking about it for years. But, like, most, and I love, of course, everybody knows my favorite World War Two book is the Nightingale. But the Nightingale is not based on a true story. And so when there. When there are such compelling true stories to tell, like, sarah's key, I think it's important that, like, we read those ones. So I I'm doing it. It's gonna take me a while because it's, like, really, really hard to get through, but I'm gonna do it.

That's good. Well, I started the book for the redheads last night. I did not have that experience, actually, I started a few nights ago. It's called real Americans, and I don't know where it's going. It started in one vein I, like, thought I knew what this book was, just, like, someone telling their life story and complaining. But it's becoming, like, a little bit of, like, what? Where is this leading to? A little bit of a mystery, which I like, so. And it's really long, some only at, like, 40%, but I. So far, I'm enjoying it.

What were the negative anecdotes you wanted to share from your weekend?

Well, I hate to, like, you know, rag on a business, but I'm going to do so, because yesterday we went to what's called just to, like, spare other people.

Yeah.

Like, it's just opened up. And on the one hand, sometimes it's like, I don't want to rag on this, but I don't know. I feel like something's weird. Yesterday we went to this thing called the balloon museum. It just opened in Miami in the art district. And you would think, like, a balloon museum would be, like, primarily for children. And then, you know, some adult, like, museum of ice cream vibes where it's, like, super colorful and kid friendly, but, like, some, you know, overgrown adults, like, want to go have fun and have an ice cream? Okay, fine.

Yeah.

The balloon museum was. The lights were off in most of the exhibits. It was, like, all these different installations that were, like, eerie and creepy and either all black. There was a Olympic sized pool of balloons that were all black balloons. And then on the ceiling were balloons hanging off. All black balloons. Like, weird. So weird. The light, like, if everything had been in primary colors and the lights were on, it would have been sick. Amazingly fun. A feast for the eyes. But it was so weird and made me feel like, this is very mature and it's not for kids, but, like, a balloon museum that's not for kids. And the whole place was filled with children. And I don't know if everybody was thinking the same thing that I was, but, like, I feel like there was some discord on the planning committee where one person was like, this is like, someone was like, you know that guy dead Demna from Balenciaga? And the other person was, like a normal Ronald McDonald. Being like, this should be fun.

Yeah.

Whatever happens is fun. And, like, honestly, the Balenciaga one out, it was giving Balenciaga. And, like, if you were thinking about going or if it's coming to your town, like, I would skip it. I wish I had skipped it. So I just wanted to, like, save some again. The thing is, they chose these vibes, so I don't feel bad clowning on the vibes and being like, don't go.

Cause you. Maybe it's not for kids, but if it's not, then who is it for?

Yeah. And then when you leave, like, there's all these balloon animals you could buy and, like, there's so many kid friendly elements. Yeah. If it's not for kids, who is it for? Just, like, adults who wanna marvel at balloons.

It was. I don't know.

Do better.

I saw the pictures, you guys. Jackie's not being dramatic. It definitely had, like, a sort of dark energy to it. Like, demonic.

Yeah.

Yeah. Everything was, like, dark and scary. It was kind of like a haunted house more than, like a museum or a celebration of balloons and colors.

It was not a celebration.

It was not a celebration.

I'm sorry.

Like, the pictures, seriously. And all the kids in all the pictures were screaming, crying.

At the end, there were all these vignettes, colorful vignettes where you could take pictures with balloons that were so cute. So, like, I'm sure if your friend is posting from the balloon museum, you're like, wait, this looks amazing. Because those instagrammable moments were adorable, and that was really fun. But the whole of the museum was incredible. Incredibly fucking weird.

That is so unfortunate. And the kids deserve better than that.

Seriously. Like, who is I? And I also want to know, who is this for? It's also, like, in the design district. So maybe it was for, like, creatives, but I'm sorry. Grow up. It's balloons.

Yeah, balloons, I think it's safe to.

Say, are reserved for that in the children's category. Even more so than ice cream.

Yeah, ice creams for everyone. It's a food thousand percent, but I.

Think balloons are for children.

And what was the other negative anecdote?

No, that was really the one.

Oh.

Oh, my God. But a positive anecdote is I'm just going through bread left and right. I made fresh bread on Saturday, and I have another loaf going today because we finished all of our bread. Everyone is loving my bread.

I'm super excited to get my hands on it.

Oh, and the other thing I wanted to say is that this morning I was on a business call with my business partner, ben. Ben literally called me as I was getting ready to go over ideas for the sandwich shop. That's not happening. Like, I'm having fun. Like, I'll make a sandwich and then I'll give it a title because, like, this is me being, like, creative and violent and artistic.

Mm hmm.

And I'll indulge him and we'll, like, literally have fights about the business. Just because it's literally a hobby. It's like a fun.

It's not a hobby, it's a hypothetical.

No, but just like, talking about this fake idea, there's something like creative and fun about it.

Stimulating the fact that we had a.

Call this morning talking about and arguing about where our first location should be.

Because I told you, like, you, this is not a joke to ben. You can't joke about business to ben. Like, he's excited and he's, I'm telling you, he's got, he's moving forward, like, with or without you.

I don't know where we landed on the first location. I think we said Asbury park, cuz he likes that idea. So I don't know if soon we're gonna be owning land in Asbury park, but, like, someone needs to tell him. I'm just going through the motions. Like, I'm just having fun, being creative. It's like camp. I'm larping as a sandwich shop omer. That's what I'm doing.

I like how you're saying somebody needs to tell you.

Yeah.

No, no. You got yourself into this mess. You'll get yourself out.

Just tell them. It's a one large larp, actually. I mean, look at the book that started as a Larp. Most great.

Should we name the sandwich restaurant Larp? Which.

Oh, also, there are so many names, but not the name. What were we gonna call it today? Ben and I? I forget right now.

Do you want to. It's the, do you want to tell everyone what you're like? Jackie decided on a name, and Ben, like, doesn't get it. He hates it. And Jackie will heretofore be referring to the sandwich shop as this.

So when we talk about the sandwich shop, this is what I call it. I recognize. I don't really think there's a world in which, like, letters are going up on a building with this name on it, but this is my working name for the restaurant because I think it encompasses the vibe that I'm going for, and it has a really sweet meaning.

Yeah.

So the restaurant, as I see it in my head, is called stranberries.

And Ben is so confused. He said, how did we get here? How do we get out?

So it's called stranberries, because right now, like, that's what Harry calls sandwiches.

Like, oh, I didn't even know that. I thought stry sand. No, sandberries.

But that's another one. No, it's krailed stranberries. Because, like, when I make him sandwiches, he would call him, like, stranberries, and. And then I call them stranberry. So now he calls it that because that's what we call it.

Oh, I totally miss that.

And I just feel like the term stranberries connotes fresh produce, fresh freshness. It's like, and it's very, you know, I could see it with, like, the red gingham tablecloths and Mason jars. And welcome to Stranberries.

Yeah. And visually, that's not at all what Ben has in mind. You know, Gingham and Mason jars.

He has good guy subs in mine where it's sweaty meets all the time.

Yeah. I actually think you two going into business together is not the right idea. You're too far off.

The thing is, he's willing to compromise because he just wants to make a deal. I think he thinks, like, a bad deal is better than no deal.

Yeah. Yeah.

And as much, I think good guy subs is a great idea. I can't be a part of it because I have nothing to do with that. Yeah, like it's not me.

Yeah.

So that's where we're at, creative difference wise.

And I know we said we wouldn't daily dally, but that's exactly what we've done.

It is, as we always do.

But I'm going to make an executive.

Great. Thank you, la. Our first story, Taylor Swift arrows tour London. Let's start with the number one in most people's hearts and minds. She brought Travis Kelsey on stage as a surprise guest during the third London eras tour show. So before she sings the song I can do it with broken heart, she does a little skit, apparently. I wouldn't know because I haven't been spoiling the concert for myself on TikTok all this time. And for the last show, Travis joined the skit.

So the skit is essentially right before the song, I can do it with a broken heart. And during the skit, she's like, no, I don't want to do it. Like, it's very emblematic of the song that's about to come. And her dancers are, like, shaking her and, you know, putting her new outfit on, brushing her hair, being like, bitch, get ready. And when the dancers come out, there's usually three of them. I think the third one was Travis. And seriously, like, the, the videos that, that have come out and they're still coming out are so crazy because the audible, like, gasp, the shookness, like, you can hear it. People were not at all expecting. I mean, Taylor is so in, you know, in recent memory, so private about her relationship. She barely walks red carpets with. So to even fathom that her boyfriend would come on stage is so not even. Nobody could have even conjured it up because it's so out of the realm of possibility that when it did happen, we choked. I was choking people were I, my phone was blowing up. She brought him on stage. I'm like, no, okay, what are people saying?

What? The camera turned to him. I was like, there's no way he's physically on stage. And he was. He did a great job.

Own costume, bespoke. He had his own little dance.

Louboutins.

Louboutins fresh.

And he was one of the dancers. He, like, picked her up, brought her to, like, the other dancers, and they, like, fixed her makeup and he had, like, a makeup brush. It was. It takes a lot to shock me. I was shocked. Honey. I was in tears. I was shocked.

Yeah.

Now it's, like, not that crazy when you think about how, like, you know, she stormed the feel. Like, remember when we were like, Taylor's on the field, Travis is on the stage. Yeah. It's the equivalent of, you know, supporting your partner. I.

It's funny. It's, like, been coming out at one of our live shows.

Exactly. And after the whole weekend of him, like, being a star, you know, he was entertaining friends and family in the vip ten. He really was kind of being, like, you know, first gentleman energy.

Yeah.

And it was such a fabulous weekend for him. His brother was there. Kylie and Jason were at the first two shows. Like, so you just honestly, like. I have no words.

Yeah. Really, really, really cute.

Really cute. Really shocking. And then up until that point, there had been so many newsworthy things, like, about them. You know, she was pointing to him. She did his archer pose that he does when he scores a touchdown. They were literally just, like, staring at each other.

The whole concert. Coded or Easter eggs. It was just like that. She literally might as well point. And then, like, hey, Travis, I love you.

Yeah. Like, that's my man. Like, it was shocking in its. What's the opposite of subtle, overt overtness? Because Taylor's never been like that. And even in this relationship, she has been like that. So it shouldn't shock us, but it still does.

But it's just like most relationships where there's just stages now they have different stages to hit, but it's like they're at the stage. First he comes to a show, then he's seen at the show. Next he's pointed at the guy on the chiefs of chiefs, and now he's on stage.

What's next? Literally a duet.

Yeah.

What.

What could even be more than this, aside from, like, engagement and getting married but, like, in a professional sense, that he could do.

They literally, like, during the secret songs, bring him up and they harmonize to. You've got to fight for your right to party. Like, that's next.

Literally, that's next. Super cute.

And I love how, like, you know, she came to his game, stormed the field, and it was like, I forget who they even played, it was all about Taylor, and he obviously loved that. And now, like, he came to her. It's all we're talking about. And it's not weird. It's, like, really the definition of having, like, two equal, you know, partners who really support each other. And it's not like. It's not weird.

It's not, like, insecurity, because I feel like in the past, this would never happen for a number of reasons. One, like, a partner who's super private, wouldn't want to do something so public to Taylor, wouldn't want to make her relationship, like, something for the public. Like, I feel like nobody would have wanted this. Not even talking about Joe. I'm talking about literally any person. She's never brought a partner up on stage. Like, even Calvin Harris, to be on the ones and twos. Frick a fricka.

And it is really crazy that, like, this monumental weekend happened in London. Now, obviously, London's just, like, a major city in Europe, and it's also a city that Taylor's, like, deeply connected to and has a lot of songs about. So it makes sense that, like, all this hoopla would have been for that. There are certain cities, like, you know, when she did Sofie, it was gonna be a big deal, and there were a bunch of surprise, you know, things over there. You knew when she did New York, it was gonna be like, certain cities are tailor coded, and London is one of them. But it's gotta hurt that, you know, her most recent long term relationship, like, took place there.

Yeah. But also, Maddie is a London boy.

Harry Styles. Calvin Harris. Is he australian? He's got an accent.

Does he?

Yeah.

Well, yeah, I feel like you could always say, oh, this was, like, directed at Joe. But then, like, Maddie puts a layer of confusion into everything, which is good. Like, same with TTBD. It's like, is it Joe or Maddie? It takes the pressure off of Joe, which I'm happy for him, because, like, he can't handle it. Okay.

No. And the thing is, is that in so many ways, nothing that's happened in the last year is about Joe Alwyn. It's literally all about Maddie Healy. Like, on the car ride home from upstate yesterday, I listened to TTPD again, like, from front to be front to end in full. And the way there's, like, two Joe Alwyn references and, like, a thousand Maddie Healy ones is so crazy. And I actually do feel like it's meant. I'm sure she could write a million songs about Joe. It was a very profound, you know, part of her life. But I do feel like it's, you know, her way of protecting that time in her life. Like, even though it didn't work out, it was an important relationship. And then, you know, one of Maddie Healey's exes was at one of the shows last night in Taylor's vip tent.

Like, yeah, it's.

It's. It's more Maddie Healey coded than anything. But everybody automatically, you know, sees a picture of Taylor with the Prince of England, and they're like, joe.

Yeah, yeah, it's very true. Also, she's saying, I could do it with a broken heart. She sings it right after smallest man who ever lived. So it's like, her heart is broken. She needs to be picked back up by Travis from the smallest man who ever lived. Who is Maddie?

No, no, she's literally, like, she's telling, like, she's not. Like I said, there's no subtlety here. And she's always been known for being like, this could be about anyone or anything. And I think a lot of people have thought over time, like, the meaning of songs has changed. Actually. They're like, wait, no, it's not about that. It's about this. But right in this moment, she's being incredibly direct and clear about what's going on.

Unrelated question. What is who is but daddy, I love him.

About Matty Healy. But then when you listen to the very end of the song, it ends up being about Travis.

Okay.

Because it's like, but, daddy, I love him. But, daddy, I love it. And then when she's singing about me and my boy and all this wild joy, the last chorus, she changes some of the words, and it's about Travis.

Okay, thank you for that. Also, we're gonna get into everyone who attended every night. But the headline of guests who attended Prince William, Princess Charlotte, Prince George in the predicted, as predicted by us singing to shake it off, we literally said. And they went backstage, which, as Travis knows, no one goes backstage. But I like it. Just shows immense respect for the royal family, but, like, mutual respect. Because when I saw that selfie of Travis tailored William, Charlotte George. It's like, I couldn't even tell you who was the most excited to be in that picture. And who's the least excited? Like, every.

Charlotte. Charlotte was the most.

You think Charlotte was the most. You don't think William was so excited being like, I'm dad of the year? F you.

Prince of the year. No, the crazy thing about that is. And we were just talking about that, like, remember when Prince William or no Prince Charles, was it wanted to? No, it was. William wanted to meet Kevin Costner. When you're royal, like, you want to meet someone, you summon them to you. You don't go to someone. They come to you. The fact that, like, he got his whole family out of the house and went to Taylor is, like, such a sign of respect. And we know that historically, they've been friends, so it's not shocking. But just seeing them, like, at somebody else's place is shocking where, like, they're not in control.

Yeah, but, you know, Charlotte was like, I am abdicating if you don't take me to heiress London.

But, daddy, I love her. I love her. That photo really shook me to my core for a million reasons.

One of the pictures that, like, stopped me in my tracks, especially because I saw it organically on my own. I woke up to follow Prince and Princess of Wales, and I saw it in feed by them. Not even someone's commentary being like, oh, my God. I'm like, what the fuck?

I saw naturally in feed, but from Taylor, which was, I think, even more shocking, honestly, because she doesn't post any shit, post selfies. Like, no promotional Getty Images, Getty Images.

From her shows and the artwork from her albums.

And I didn't know where to look first because just seeing a selfie, like, a regular looking photo of Taylor Swift is so jarring. The fucking royal family. And then I was like, oh, my God, Travis.

Yeah.

And then the longer you looked at the photo, the more there was to glean Travis with his US Olymp team, Olympic Team USA Olympic hat obsessed. The hat that he wore all weekend long, basically just being like, fuck everyone here, seriously. Like, I could not stop looking at places. And then I was also. I was like, this was clearly before the show. And the first outfit she wears is, like, this bodysuit. There's no way she was just wearing these body suits. So I go back and look again. She put on the blazer that she puts on after the bodysuit for the man. So she wore, like, a full blazer dress. But I was like, she probably had to put that on because she just probably walks around the stadium before, like, ten minutes before the show in her body suit.

So they met her before the show?

Yes. Like, her full glam. You could always tell because her hair is curly.

That's so true. And her makeup was perfection. She looks like a figure. Madame Tussauds, by the way.

Did I say that to you? Oh, okay. Because I was like, oh, my God. I actually thought it was a Madame Tussaud something. But when I. My first instinct, because she looked perfect.

And then also there was the video of William singing shake it off in the box. Dancing. Like people say Chandler Bing.

Yeah, he was getting after it in the box.

He was getting after it. It's so funny, like, what they did in one night for like, the royal family's cute score. Years of intentional press strategy could never do.

I mean, there's something so relatable about not only Taylor Swift, but just like.

Music, you know, music brings people together.

And just like, dance like no one's watching, you know?

He was certainly dancing like no one was watching. That's not how I would think he would dance. I'm obsessed.

Me too. I love to see him just like, letting. Let it go.

He's had a rough few years for sure. Also, what's so crazy is how shake it off. I feel like for you and me is like the worst song in Taylor's catalog, but it's a bathroom song at eras. Like, it's lit. Then let's go into the vip time because not only was Prince William getting after it during shake it off, but there was a video that was going viral of the vip ten during shake it off. Like, it was jump in.

It was jumping with a listers, Ashton and Mila. Tom Cruise, by the way, not Tom cruise. Gone to the aerostor. And, like, literally that same exact moment, Surrey's graduating from college and, like, Katie Holmes is there. It's like, tell me you don't talk to your daughter without telling you don't.

Talk to your daughter from high school. Yeah, yeah.

Did I say college?

Yeah.

He was there.

And then. So I kept seeing this girl in the video. She looks like Michelle Randolph. I'm like, who is that? She's obviously a famous person and she's quite beautiful. Turns out that's Gabriella Brooks, who's Maddie Healy's ex of, like, five years. So her and Taylor have a lot to talk about. And now she dates Liam Hemsworth, who was also there.

Obsessed.

I know, but it's just not good for Miley Taylor to relations.

It's fine, it's fine. But, like, Taylor always is, like, extremely gracious with tickets. But, you know, she had double. She had two tents this time because, like, there were so many famous people who wanted to come every single night. They had two every single night. Cate Blanchett, Paul McCartney.

So here, I'm going to go through the list. Entertainment tonight did a. Here's a big list of who was at the concert.

Thank you.

Thank you to Entertainment Tonight, night one. Cara Delevingne. Classic. Nicola Coughlin. No comment. Jonathan Van Ness. Jason and Kylie Kelsey both nights. Travis Kelsey, of course. Scott and Andrea Swift. Of course. Sal.

This list is annoying.

Salma Hayek.

I saw that.

I didn't see that one. Leslie Mann.

Yep. I saw she could have went under the radar because I saw her in a video. No one was talking about it.

Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, of course. Erin Andrews and Carissa Thompson. Oh, it looks like they were. Oh, yeah. Oh, and I think she was with Kylie. Kelsey. Don't quote me on that, but that makes sense. Little. Yeah. Women in sports. Additionally, Stella McCartney was there, of course. Night two. Travis Kelsey, Jason and Kylie. Tom Cruise, as stated.

So strange.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. And their kids, Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks. Greta Gerwig. Rachel Zegler.

Uh huh.

Theo James.

Oh, yeah.

Additionally, Jamie Dornan was there night three. Travis Kelsey, Sophie Turner, and Gracie Adams. And then Gracie went on stage for Gracie Adams. Abrams. I should know that because she's JJ Abrams daughter, and for some reason, I can never forget that. Yeah.

No, I mean. What do you mean? Who could?

I feel like sometimes, like, I forget, not that often, but, like, it's forgettable that Lily Collins is Phil Collins daughter. I guess I cannot separate Gracie from JJ, and I feel bad about that. Every time she puts out a song, I'm like, is this good, or is she JJ Abrams daughter?

Both.

Okay. Paul McCartney. My queen. That isn't a part of the royal family. Ellie Goulding.

Yeah.

Jon Bon Jovi.

Yeah.

Phoebe Waller Bridge and Andrew Scott.

Yep.

Blanchett, Kate.

Mm hmm.

And that's it.

No, it was really crazy, the amount of famous people who went like, but.

I need to know, like, if you're a famous person, obviously, like, tom Cruise is going in the vip tent. But, like, there were some names there that I was like, I'm surprised. She's like, let you in the ten, and you have to get a ticket. And then there's some people who buy a ticket that I'm like, why weren't you in the tent, Zachary?

Okay, totally. Because when me and Margot went the first night at Ms. What's called Metlife, Kate Upton was, like, a few rows behind us, and somebody must have figured it out because she left and never came back. So before the show even started, she was obviously taken to the tent. I think it's just about, like, who your publicists are. Like, if you can get in contact, I feel like if you're a recognizable person. And you ask, she says, yes, but maybe some of them don't ask. Like, no, just get my own ticket, you know?

Yeah. Cuz there's a lot of celebs there. Like, she's pretty generous.

Yeah, she is. I mean, it behooves her because it's newsworthy and it's just buzzy. And then we're talking, you know, again.

About nobody behooves the celebs. Like, if you can get into that tent, like, you're gonna have a good press week.

No. And the funny thing is, like, it's just every person in their life, whether it's, you know, Cate Blanchett herself or Cate Blanchett's, you know, daughter, what is gonna. Like if you're gonna have one, you have a famous person in your life and you have one favor to ask. You're gonna ask for eras tour tickets. Like, that's. Everyone phones in their celebrity favor. So whether the celebrity themselves is a fan or not, like, there's gonna be a million celebs at every show. But London obviously is also a hotspot.

For celebs, and I would love to know who they've said no to.

Same.

That's the list I want.

Same.

Okay, well, our next story is a little tailored adjacent.

Okay. Is there anything else from eras that we need to discuss? Let me just think. Loved every minute of it. Yeah. And then they went out last night.

Yeah, they did. I feel like there was something, though, and I was like, I'm gonna forget this if I don't pull a tab open. But I have too many tabs open. It'll come to us if.

I don't know.

I feel like we got everything with all the surprise guests.

Yeah, great. Oh, paramore. Hailey Williams came in. St. Castle's crumbling. The, you know, Everett, like, she gives her all to every show, but certain cities have, like, a special sparkle to them, and I think everybody knew London was gonna be one of them, and it did not disappoint, you know?

Yeah, it did not. It was more than I thought. Like, when you were like, Monday's gonna be a big day because of London eras, I'm like, okay, big day.

Yeah. By the way, it was more than I thought, too. Like, because nobody could have conceptualized any of these things.

Yeah.

Like, maybe the royal family would have attended and we would have gotten one blurry video of them in the box. Never did I imagine a high definition backstage photos.

I just want you to know, like, that would have been so much for me, just knowing that they attended, and there was a blurry, like. Even if it was just that, and even if they weren't dancing with their whole heart.

Right. Heart.

If they were dancing half heartedly.

Yeah.

I'm not gonna talk about Prince William's pee.

I know. I know. That's why I didn't say it either. Yeah, I didn't say it either.

Our next story. As Claudia afore mentioned, Suri Cruz graduated high school this weekend with her mom, Katie Holmes, while Tom Cruise was at the heirs tour London. And notably, she dropped her last name from the procession.

So, yeah.

It listed Suri Noel Noel as a graduate from LaGuardia High School. On Friday, with her mom by her side, she could be seen ringing the milestone by snapping pictures with her mom and friends in New York City, where she resides. This big news, regardless. But then, of course, coupled with Tom at eras which I think they have no relationship, that's what everyone has said. So I do not think Tom knew that Suri was graduating that day. Why would he know?

By the way, they don't have a relationship. That's, like, a core tenet of Scientology is that if someone in your family or anyone who leaves the. The religion is considered an sp. A suppressed, shunned person, and you're not allowed to talk to them. That's why Nicole Kidman's kids with Tom Cruise do not speak to her, because she left. And that's what, you know, I feel like you can add this to my list of favorite stories in the Keith urban. Literally, that he references blue in your color. Like, what kind of man turns his kid and makes them eyes cold? It's devastating. But I think for a lot of people, this might have been their way of finding out that Tom and Suri Cruise don't have a relationship. But if you know a little bit about Scientology, you know, like, you can.

Yeah. Doesn't.

And he's like. He's the most serious scientologist on the planet.

Yeah, head king.

Right. He, like, invented it.

Doesn't Surrey cruise graduating high school make you feel old? Like, we remember when she was born?

Yeah, it does make me feel old, except I literally thought she had graduated college, so now I'm feeling kind of young.

Yeah, it does look very college y. Yeah.

And I'm surprised you went to LaGuardia. She gonna pursue at LaGuardia is a. Like, a performing art school.

Well, she's got the arts in her blood on both sides.

I love Katie Holmes. Like, I. Everything I know about her, like, post Tom Cruise, like, everything I learn about her makes me like her more. I think she's like an incredibly devoted mother. I think she's like really normal and cute and I think she like wakes up every day grateful to the lord above that she got out of whatever the fuck was going on during her marriage to Tom Cruise, which was probably like the worst time in her life.

Yeah.

And the fact that she was able to get her daughter out, I mean, every time I see her, she's smiling. It's not surprising you would too.

Yeah, but remember when Suri Cruise, like as a child was the biggest deal? Like the biggest steel child?

Yes. No, no. You could not open a newspaper without seeing a picture of like this young brunette child. They were obsessed. I think it. I don't. We weren't like super socially conscious at the time.

Right. But I remember like the level of hype for Surrey Cruz as a child.

Same. And now I think I can glean why. It's because at the time Tom Cruise was like a. Like a miles teller, like the biggest movie star. A list, a list. And Katie Holmes was like this girl on the rise. She was like on her way to becoming this starlet and he just like snatched her up. And I think a lot of people were like, why?

Yeah.

So it was like. It was confusing for the culture, so everybody just became obsessed.

Yeah, yeah, that was a crazy time.

And I've said it once, I've said again, they can't make me like Tom Cruise. Even him going to era's tour, which of course is like the number one way to endear me to someone, like, get out of that tent smelly. Like you're not. It's not for people like you.

I feel like you were liking him more recently.

No, they tried to make me like him. A top gun. It didn't work.

I feel like he did something recently. Oh, his coconut cake. I know, I was just talking about, if there's one person who can make you like Tom Cruise, it's Davis. It's Miles Teller.

Yeah, no, that's what it is.

Him, Jackie.

That's what I said. They're trying everyone. Well, trying, but it won't work.

Our next story is that someone that they'll never make you like.

Justin Timberlake.

Justin Timberlake. A little update on Justin Timberlake's bad week. So Justin Timberlake broke his silence on his DWI arrest during his concert, part of his world tour, the tour in Chicago on Friday night. And his concert's making news for a lot of reasons. One, he spoke about the DWI and this is what he said. He said it's been a tough week.

He said it's been putting it mildly.

He said it's been a tough week. I know I'm hard to love sometimes, but you keep loving me right now back, he added that all his fans, too, have faced ups and downs and left and rights.

Don't, like, compare us to you, you know? Like, we don't do that well, the.

People in the stadium arena are probably like, yeah, Justin, we've all been there.

Right?

Some more news is that the bartender from the hotel that he had dranks at said that he did have one martini. However, we all saw the mug shot. And two, there's video footage from his concert going viral of him, like, doing crowd work. So he's up close with the fans.

And he looks, like, nutty. You look. But I had. I had then heard that that was, like, an old piece of footage.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Like, it went viral, and people were like, oh, my God, look. He looks like he's on cocaine. And then it turned out to be, like, an old video.

Oh, my God. God.

Yeah, I got got to. Having said that, that video still is real. Like, it's.

No, but to, like, be, like, fresh out the slammer and looking like that, like, there's an issue.

Also, another piece of news.

People were saying he was, like, still fucked up from. From his vendor. It's, like, when it's been two days. And, like, I do think he had it, like, a low number of drinks. He was just, like, not sober, but.

Also, bender, that he was stopped before he was actually officially arrested. He was stopped a little bit before and, like, given a warning, so, like, call an Uber.

I also heard that the concierge at the hotel, like, called the police and said to look out for him because they were worried he was gonna get behind the wheel.

Okay. Like, the more we learn, the more we know. Like, I said.

Hey, but what do you think about the bartender saying he only had one Martini?

Well, he could have only had one martini at your facility. Like, that doesn't mean he had only one martini in the whole city.

Well, no, he was only at that one place, but I agree. Like, maybe he might have showed up drunk, too, and you also might have ordered only one martini from you then at the table. Do you know what he drank? You probably do. Cause you're making Justin Timberlake's drink. But, like, maybe he drank everyone else's drinks, too.

Not only that, like, a martini can be demonic.

What?

At one Martin, what do you eat that day? And maybe he had taken a xanax to calm down for the world tour. Like, you never know what's in your system.

That's true.

What mixes. Perhaps he was having an allergy attack and he took a claritin, and it mixed poorly with his kettle one, Martin.

Especially if he took a claritin d. Like. You do not fuck with the d. Exactly.

They say you can't operate heavy machinery on sudafed. Maybe you took a suit of.

It's so true. I learned that in my. This is my, like, repeated stories. You can add it to this. In my five hour driving course about, like, drug and alcohol awareness. All of the things that I learned about drunk driving. Not to drunk drive. I learned a lot of things. So, yeah, being on any sort of medication can really mess with you.

For me, like, I get. And I've only. It's only happened once because it was, like, scary. Like, I get fucked up on Advil PM. Like, I was hallucinating with Thea.

It's like nightquil.

Yeah, but, like, Nyquil, I just, like, feel a little woozy, and I go to sleep, like, having actual awake hallucinations with Advil PM.

Oh, no. Nyquil is drugs. Hard drugs.

Nyquil is drugs. You know what I fuck heavily with, though? Z quill.

Like, to me, I associate Nyquil. It's like, oh, I'm. Don't look for me for 12 hours.

Yeah.

And I feel like Advil PM is, like, actually a little bit of a lighter version of that.

No, no. Advil PM, I feel like, is a lighter.

Crazier than I.

Like, of, like, meth, for real. At least that's. That was the experience that I had. Like, you have to ask Ben. I remember in my old apartment, like, I think if you don't fall asleep in a certain amount of time, like. Yeah, the dreams you would have if you were asleep, like, our hallucinations in real life. I was having the craziest conversation with Ben, like, so high on drugs. It was really probably the closest I've ever come to, like, heroin.

That's, like, quaaludes. If you fight them. Yeah, you'll go high. We all saw Wolf of Wall street.

Correct.

You'll go high.

How did we get here?

Justin Timberlake. Drug awareness.

Right, right.

Not. Not a far leap.

So, like, him only having one martini, like, truly means nothing to me, because, honestly, one having one beer, I'm so nuts. If somebody has one beer, I won't get in the car with them. Although, like, I do know, like, having one beer doesn't really impair you, one martini is, like, four beers, in my opinion.

Mm hmm.

So, yeah, it's just a cup of vodka. They're like, one martini. It's a cup of vodka.

Yeah. Are you ready for our next story, number four?

Yeah.

Okay. Elon Musk quietly welcomed baby number twelve, his third, with Neuralink Corp. Siobhan Zillis, earlier this year.

What about crimes?

So, he has three babies with Siobhan, who works for Neuralink, but they are not in a relationship. This is what I learned from his book. They had twins. They welcomed twins together a few years ago, and now they just welcome baby number three. And I think it was all through IVF. The first two were so. I think the third was two. I don't think it ever became romantic. I don't think they're.

She's just giving away sperm.

Yeah. Because she wanted to be a mom, and he wants to populate the earth.

Right. And I guess, like, I know it's like a running joke. He has a million kids, but, you know, that brain is a once in a generation, right?

You couldn't go to the sperm bank and find such a donor, and he's getting it out for free.

It's really crazy. I I have to imagine it'll have an impact on the next generation of scientists.

Yeah, I think some of his kids are very scientifically inclined already. Both nature and nurture.

Right, right, right.

Like when he first got Siobhan pregnant, like, you know, non sexually with twins. Siobhan and Grimes were friends, and Grimes didn't know, so that was a little ako taco.

The. The things Grimes.

And now it's, like, friends, and now all of a sudden, we're raising siblings.

No, we're friends and sister wives.

Yeah, but at least it doesn't like having an affair.

Also, his OG wife, Elon, the one he had his first five kids. She just got remarried.

No, Talu Riley just got remarried. He. Twice. They didn't have kids together, and that's his second wife.

Just, like, so crazy that he married someone he didn't have kids with, because it's, like, clearly his hobby to have children.

Yeah. What I got from his book was that, like, they're the right ones for each other in this world, but, like, you know, extenuating circumstances mean that they can't be together.

Right person, wrong time. Right.

Yeah. So she's actually married to that guy that. Well, he's not a boy anymore, but he was in love, actually. He was?

Yes.

Queen's gambit. Thomas Burke Sanger. He was in they just got married.

Over the weekend, which is why he's like the famous little kid from love actually love actually.

But he's gone on to be a successful actor, which most of those, like, famous little kids don't, you know.

Yeah. And they just got married over the weekend, and it was big news. I thought that was his favorite first OG wife. Okay, I got confused.

Oh, he's in Maze Runner, so I guess that's how, like, he pays the bills. But he was also in Game of Thrones helping Bran get to the third eyed Raven.

Yes.

Yes. Great call, great call. And that was not going to be another story. I thought about it, but we already had one big Elon story, so that's the big Elon. News of the day, baby. Number twelve is here. Mazel tov.

To life. To life. Lech I am.

Yeah. They thought he was, like, hiding it, but he said, failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean secret.

But it's true. It's kind of like you got. It's your job to know and you didn't, so.

Right. But, like, what are. Why do we need to tell you a press release that, like, I fathered a child over here and she's like.

A private citizen, girly, with a job, like, let her live.

Yeah. And she works for Neuralink, which I need more and more every day.

The chip in your brain, I mean.

And I never thought I would be a chip when I was reading the knurling parts of his book, I'm like, elon, this is where I leave you. But, like, I have so many thoughts that I just need transcribed because they're fleeting and I don't remember what I needed to add to my list because I was in the shower and I couldn't write it down.

It's true.

It's.

By the way, it's so I can't.

Leave a pen and paper by me all the time. And they're here today, gone tomorrow.

And when you think as much as we do, because we're sort of like, you know, big thinkers and, you know, thought leaders of our generation, you need to have that shit transcribed, because, you know, our thoughts are not just average thoughts.

No, no. But even just like, it, it's mostly like tasks of, like, things I need to do, like book a car for this, get my hair for the shows. Like, there are so many little things like, that.

The. I meant to share with you. Do you know what Ben has started calling Romeo?

Mayo?

No.

Dukes.

You'll never guess. He calls him Henry David.

Why?

Because we call him the Roe.

Okay.

Henry David. Henry David. The row.

The row.

Yeah.

That's funny. I'm surprised he doesn't call him Mary Kate and Ashley. That's what I thought, Jackie. Or you could call him the lakes.

The what? The lakes.

You could call them Walden.

Yeah, you could.

So much more.

Do you have something you want to ask me?

That is time for the fifth and final story. But I do need to know if you're ready.

No. The fifth and final story is brought to you by Lipton. Specifically, Lipton's green tea, to support your wellness goals and everyday healthy living. So, Lipton green tea is a proactive wellness hack to support your overall health. Did you know that two cups a day delivers a quick and simple win on your individual health and wellness journeys thanks to the goodness of flavor flavonoids? So, their new signature blend, green tea is a proprietary blend balanced with a hint of jasmine green tea to deliver a delicate floral fragrance and a smooth, refreshing, easy to sip taste. It has 100 milligrams of flavonoids per every eight ounce cup.

So, 8oz in a cup. I meant to say, like, I'll get into all the health benefits of, you know, green tea and why you should be drinking two cups a day. But getting into a routine of, like, winding down with a glass of tea is such an elevated royal experience, and it really does help wind me down for the night.

I've been doing it a lot recently, and I love it. And then, of course, all the health benefits when it comes to the flavonoids in green tea are, you know, they can't be overstated. Two cups of Lipton green tea can support health by providing approximately the same amount of flavonoids as eating eight cups of raw kale.

Thank you, turt.

You're welcome, Bert.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story? A little content news now?

I am ready. Yes.

Jennifer Lawrence will star in a murder mystery inspired by the Real Housewives.

Yes.

Jennifer Lawrence will produce and star in the Wives, a real housewives inspired murder mystery produced by Apple Studio and a 24. It was announced on Friday that J. Law will produce and star in the wives, a Real Housewives inspired whodunnit that was acquired for Apple original films in what is describing as a highly competitive situation. The project will be co produced by Apple Studio and a 24.

I love this. It sounds like it could be really stupid. However, Jennifer Lawrence kind of, like, doesn't really, like, make bad movies. And she has a very obviously well versed knowledge of, like, how movies work, but also of the housewives. So if there was someone who can do it and do it well, it would only be her.

I agree. And considering it will likely be good. It sounds really good. The why?

Yes.

Like, we're watching on in 2 seconds. It's giving Desperate Housewives, Stepford wives gone.

Girl, our fake 1000%. 1000%. It sounds good. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I'm sad.

If you had described it to me without saying Jennifer Lawrence, I would have been like, eye roll. Cause this does have the potential to be incredibly stupid.

It's giving. What's that show we love? Ladies who kill.

Why women kill.

Why women kill. That's what this is.

So is it kind of gonna be like, knives out? Sort of where it's like, we're all solving this one mystery?

I feel like. Like, big little lies, but with, like, a funny comedic.

Yeah, like, maybe they're all on, like, a cast trip and one of the producers gets knives and they have to sit in the house and figure out who did it.

Yeah, something like that.

I honestly think it sounds good.

It sounds amazing. More of this, please. I mean, let's wait to see it, but more of this.

Do you think they'll, like, tap any housewives like, to do cameos? They're always doing stuff like that.

I feel like that's what would make it stupid.

I agree. Although there are a lot of housewives who are, like, actors by trade, like Kyle Richards. Denise. Denise Richards. Wait. Denise Richards? How am I just putting that together?

Are they sisters?

Denise and Kyle Richards? That's really weird.

That is weird.

An actress. Of course, all of them, you know, Heather Gibreau famously is an actress, so I agree, though. That's what makes it, like, not serious. And I actually hope that they don't.

Unless one of them is, like, an actual actress in the movie, not a cameo. Heather Dubois.

Yeah.

Like, if Heather Dubrow wanted to, like, get a role in the show, I think she would be really good.

Yeah. Who else acts? I feel like they all, like, when they were younger, like, acted and modeled and then, like, married rich men. Yeah.

And then, like, were still interested in being famous.

Who was Heather Dubrow fighting with for that role on Reba's?

Alexis Bellino.

Yeah. But she's not an actress.

No.

Like, by trade?

No.

Okay, well, I like this. I think it sounds good.

Me too.

And of course, you know, she's gonna go and watch it happens live to promote it, and Andy's gonna have, like, the best day of his life.

Yeah. Full circle.

Full circle. She doesn't make bad movies, so I feel if there's a woman who can do it, it's her.

I think if anyone were to do a cameo, it would be Andy.

Oh, yeah. Duh.

Mm hmm. And he acted. He was in sex and the city.

Nene leakes is actually, like, an amazing actress. Ross Washington.

Ross Washington.

Her having, like, not only just a cameo, but, like, a full blown role over many episodes on Glee was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Not to mention her character was everything in this world.

Agreed. Roz Washington and I feel like we appreciated it when we had it. Like, I don't feel like it passed us by. I feel like we were in that moment being like, this is awesome.

Yeah.

And the role that they wrote for her back.

I know, but we need to appreciate that it happened. Like, don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. And really, like, appreciate that the role that was written for her. Like, they couldn't have written a better role for her, and she nailed it. She deserved an Emmy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Speaking of Emmy winning content, let's dive.

Into our house of the dragon recap, episode two. Jax was not going to watch it, but I said, give it one more chance.

Yeah.

And what do you think?

I stand by what I said last week, which it's, like, objectively not an amazing show. Like, there were so many conversations where I was watching and I was like, not to compare it to Game of Thrones all the time, but, like, we would never have this conversation in Game of Thrones because it's irrelevant. Like, the older son talking to his betrothed standing out on the clip just being like, I'm sad. I'm sad too. The Corliss is laying in bed talking about Reynier. Didn't move the plot forward whatsoever. It's just like they just need to kind of fill some shit up.

Zachary. I agree. Like, I was incredibly bored last night. Nothing happened. And the real difference I feel from last season when I loved this show was like, there were so many characters I was championing, like, and obsessed with. I seriously don't give a fuck who wins this war. Like, right now, I don't even hate the other people so much. Like, I hated the Hightowers last season and everyone in King's Landing, I'm like, they're the devil. Seriously. Like, I don't even care. Like, after what Damon did, like, I don't stand really him anymore. And not to be like, devil's advocate, like, rainier, I'm putting all the blame on him. Like, she did send him and she knew, like, he was like a scoundrel piece of shit, you know?

Yeah. And I just don't know how her team really bounces back from because they were already, like, just irrelevant uglies on Dragonstone now. Like, yeah, what are you gonna do? What's the big move here? What's the play? And now the thing is, like, I.

Don'T believe in either one of their causes, like, that much.

No. And also I don't feel like any one person's claim to the throne is bigger and better than another person. Like, I don't feel like a gun is a usurper. Like, yes. Viserys had said, like, rhaenyra would be his heir when he didn't have any sons, but now he has sons. So Aegon is a real contender then? He died before his time, but.

And he and said something confusing to Rhaenyra and to Alicent, right.

So now it's like, who has the better claim to the throne? Like, they're both kind of equal. I don't really care who sits on the throne. Much. Like, most of the people in the seven kingdoms and in King's Landing, they're like, we don't care who our king or queen is. Like, can we just have some fucking bread?

Yeah, literally. And by the way, the only time I really felt anything during last night's episode was anytime Sir Kristen Cole came on the scene and, like, lit within me this fire of hatred. I loathe. This man, first of all, is so weak. When he was, like, having that conversation with Sir Eric and, like, sending him to wherever, it was, like, loser. Like, you feel guilty because, like, you were out fucking Alicent when you should have been protecting the future king, and now you're going to blame this guy and try and put it on him like, it's all you. You're a big timey loser. I hate him. And honestly, not me. Like, really kind of siding with and agreeing with Otto Hightower last night. Like, when he was like, what is Sir Christian Cole done? It's, like, totally, literally, who is that?

Right? Also, they want this big moment. Like, Alison sin is because I was fucking Sir Kristen. Like, that's why there wasn't a guard who would have been guarding Alison's room. And, like, when I said last week, Helena ran into Alison's room, there was no guard there. That's because someone said that's because Kristen was supposed to be outside the door. Okay. Still doesn't make sense for the heirs down the hall. Also, Helena and Aegon, our husband and wife and brother and sister. Correct.

Are they?

Yeah. Because first of all, where else did she come from? She's a Targaryen.

I just thought she was, like, a rogue cousin fluid, for sure.

But then when Helena said what they did to my girl, I think they meant Helena. I think she meant Helena. Like, that her daughter had to see, like, go experience that. And then also, it's, like, in. Yeah. Where else did she come from if not the sister?

That's, like, really crazy. Brother and sister.

Yeah. And, like, how do you make the switch? Like, from. See, I guess their whole lives, they knew that they would be husband and wife one day. I don't think they spent a lot of time not justifying this whatsoever. Just trying to get into the mindset. I don't think they spent a lot of time together growing up because he's in, like, you know, king training and she's sewing, doing her knitting.

I truly, like, never put together that they were brother and sister.

I don't think they spoke before. Seriously. Like, I don't think they speak now either, unless they're trying to have a child, and I guess, which they have to do.

Right? Do they have another son?

They have. Oh, I don't know.

They have a daughter.

Mm hmm.

They might have to.

And then I cannot deal with Zoolander in the eyepatch.

Okay. But can we talk about Zoolander and the eye patches and the mommy lays laying naked. I was like, seriously, what am I looking at?

Like, they're just trying to let you know. Like, Zoolander has mommy issues, right?

He gives me the ick. And, like, that sort of, like, naked, skinny body, like, in a ball in that lady's lap. Like, I seriously wanted to vomit. No.

And I cannot deal, like, him roaming through the castle. Yeah, it's Zoolander. It's so unserious.

Yeah, I totally agree. I just felt, like, so bored. And I also find myself confused. Like, someone would walk in the room and I'm like, who on God's green diddly dally earth are you? Yeah, like, seriously, who are you?

Who did you feel that way about? Baila.

Baila.

But then. Then you remember that she's.

Oh. And then when that guy got off the ship and his brother was, like, waiting for him, and I'm like, are we supposed to know you? No, we don't. Okay.

Like, me, then we're like, I don't think.

No, we know that the older guy who got off the boat, like, helped Lord Corlys and saved his life, and then that was his brother waiting for him in the doc.

I'm sure they have things coming their way because then also when he's, like, digging for seashells and he finds a crab, like, okay, I thought he was gonna find, I don't know, Jace.

A dragon egg.

And then he looks up in the dragon flying over him, and then we follow the dragon. It's, like, just useless things like that.

Yeah. There was a million scenes like that. Like, Rhaenyra playing with her kids. Nobody said anything. She's just playing with her kids, and they go to the next scene, like, it was actually, like, boring.

Yeah, nothing happened. Because there's only really one thing going on, which is, like, the war that hasn't started in Game of Thrones. And I only compare it because the only reason we're watching the show is because of Game of Thrones. We would never be watching medieval dungeons and dragons if not for Game of Thrones. In Game of Thrones, there were literally eight significant plots happening at the same time. And anytime we jump to another scene, like, we are moving the plot forward of one of the. Yeah, this one. Even the main plot doesn't move forward. Okay, so the twins killed each other. What does that change? Nothing.

No. And. And Game of Thrones, like, we would always acknowledge when there was an episode where, like, major things happened, and sometimes that when there were episodes that, like, you could say, like, we're boring.

Pieces on the board were moving.

Yes. It was setting the stage for the next episode. Like, you would see the bigger picture. I don't know what the hell was accomplished in last night's episode except, like, seriously, me checking my phone.

No.

And. Which I never did with Game of Thrones.

Yeah. Also, I said to Zach last night, like, the dragons have also lost their luster. Like, now that everyone has dragons, I don't care. When only Daenerys had them, and it was like, she's stunting on these hoes. It was a big deal. But now it's like, okay, we both have dragons. We're equals. Who cares?

Yeah.

And it's like the dragons haven't even done anything sickening or changed the war. You know what I mean? Like, in Game of Thrones, like, when she, like, you know, freed all the slaves because the dragons, like, she was doing great when they went above, north of the wall, slayed the dragons down boots, pulled the dragon out of the ice, and turned it into a white walking dragon. Now it's just like, I don't know, a commercial flight.

Yeah. It's just sort of, like a common sense.

They're just, like, all surveying cool.

Yeah. I really don't particularly, like, ride for any of the characters. Of course. You guys know, like, last season, I was obsessed with Damon and Rhaenyra, but, like, Rhaenyra kicked him to the curb. She's right about that. Like, he never really, like, fully championed her. He's just sort of, like, waiting for his opportunity.

And also, it's like if. If they become queen and King consort and then, like, their children become heirs to the throne, like, that serves demons end of him being on the throne in some sort of way. So, like, that's why he, like, champions her to a degree. Because it's good for him.

Yeah. And, like, do they have their own kids? That's who. Like, the little blondies she was playing with?

Yeah. Okay, but even still Jace loose. Jace is the one, the older one. He's gonna be the king.

Yeah, I like him.

I like him too. But he's not Targaryen.

Well, he is Targaryen, but not, like, full.

Yeah, I don't want to use the b word, but, like, a starred. But he is.

Yeah, I forgot about that word.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So there are a lot of, like, half legit claims. So, like, I personally don't give a rip. You know, I'm liking not like. Like, not disliking who Alicent.

She, like, pisses me off.

I don't hated her last season. I don't.

We did.

I don't hate.

No, but that's the thing. We hated her more so because we loved Rainier. And we, like, hated what Alicent did to her now. Like, I don't even ride so hard for a rainy ear. It's like I feel equally about both of them. I feel nothing.

And it's like, what did Allison do to her? Slept with her daddy. Right? But like, that she didn't.

She didn't sleep with her daddy. Her own father forced her, like, choice did she have?

And then she was there for Viserys, like in his really, like, decrepit, for long old age. She loved him, actually. Like, she really could be so much worse.

No, and in her defense, like, she really did think that, you know, she heard Viserys say, like, aegon should be king, but Viserys just thought he was talking to someone else. We know that.

And also in the small council meetings, like, she's always advocating for de escalation.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she was like the only one who really likes, like, cared and felt bad that amend killed the other one loose.

Yeah. And I know also we're supposed to, like, be so shook up that she's sleeping with Sir Kristen. Like, this is like the big secret of the show. And you know, Helena, don't say anything. And you know, and she's like, I've sinned the way. I don't care. She's not married. Who gives a fuck?

Well, because he's supposed to be pure. But now that he's the hand of the king, I don't feel like his job anymore requires celibacy. That's what I was thinking.

Oh, that's why it's like a big deal. Like, seriously, who cares?

No, literally, who cares?

That's the big secret.

I will say though, like that scene where the twins were fighting and you didn't know which twin was twinning and then that was actually a good scene. Yeah, cuz then one of them died and we're like, oh, shit, is that the right one?

Well, we were about to find out if the weather one went for Rainier. His throat. That's that.

But then it didn't even matter.

It was just like, sad.

It actually was really sad.

Yeah. Rip, double rip, double rip.

And I guess, like, that random hooker slash spy ended up being good because she warned them.

Yeah, she is a very random hooker slash spy. And I really don't like when, like, I just don't like her.

Yeah.

You know, I don't even remember what she did last season. The big betrayal. I don't remember.

Yeah, no, it's definitely not hitting. Like, I certainly wouldn't even dream of dressing up as one of them for Halloween, you know? Yeah, it's not hitting in the same way. And that's my opinion.

I just feel like Game of Thrones and even thinking about a lot of the spin offs we were talking about last week, like, it's giving, like, watered down, you know, after mean girls. They made, like, mean girls, too. And, like. Or, like, legally blonde twins where it was, like, off Broadway budget off Broadway versions. Like, this is what this is becoming. Trying to recreate the magic and capture that audience again. It's like.

But I felt like they were really on their way last season. Like, they had something good. I would love to know what changed.

I think the show, it was better definitely in the first season, but also, like, our excitement was, like, fresh. We were bringing all of our Game of Thrones energy, and now it's like, we're only bring our house of Dragon energy, which turned out to be, like, not that energetic so far. And people are saying, give it a chance. Like, it's the second season. Like, if we're not in it, like, the first season is where you really have to be patient because we're laying the groundwork for the war to come. Like, war is here, and I'm bored.

But, like, wars, like, kind of not here.

Yeah. Right now, it's. It's soft war.

It's murky.

Yeah, well, that's my Max account no longer plays the preview for next episode. So I don't even get that, like, feeling of, like, yeah. Oh, okay. I'm. I'm sacked.

Same. And when it was over last night and it was an hour and ten minutes of boringness, I seriously didn't even want to watch for next week. I'm like, can I go to bed now?

I actually looked to watch for next week because I was like, I need to get my juices flowing.

Hyped.

I couldn't find it. And that's, like, really? So without that, I'm like, okay, so the end.

And speaking of the end, this is the end of our episode, and I think we accomplished everything we set out to accomplish, correct?

I think so.
