Grigio Girls: Tuesday, January 28th, 2025

0:00Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a gargy-pargy day. Speaking of gargy-pargy, it's Jacqueline Folet, jerked if you will. I am having a gargy-pargy day because I'm in a gargy-pargy environment with a gargy-pargy gal. It's day two of New Toast era. Obviously so much has changed. We hear you, you guys. My audio was a piece of shit on a stick yesterday. Like, I'm sorry, I will go jump off the Queensborough Bridge. I'm so sorry. We have made some adjustments. It's going to be a work in progress until Jackie and I can get our audios totally matching.

0:32but today should be a lot better. I know, you know, if it's not, you will let me know. And we also got some feedback that I actually agreed with, wishing that, you know, you could see our gargy-pargy faces a little bit more. That's all they had to say. We want to see more of your faces. We're having a hard time seeing you. So we're punching in. We're punching in. We're punching in. Today's episode, like I said, it's going to be a little dance until we get everything 100 % right. But to be in such a gargy environment, I feel really will yield results of gargy-ness. Yeah. No, it's definitely, I've got my podcasting hat on.

1:04Oh, okay. You're going to wear this hat to the party tonight? I will always wear this hat to the party tonight. But you just, I don't know. Do you think it will change the tone of the show being in such like a studio? I don't think so. But I do think it will take us a long time to find our footing. Because like I still feel different. Yeah. I still feel like I'm in someone else's living room. I feel like seriously strange. And by the end of yesterday's show, like it obviously worn off. but like it was the first like 40 minutes that I still felt weird. Yeah and we've never done such an abrupt change not to do Toast at a Glance not to do it but this it's so hard not to.

1:37This kind of requires a bit of Toast at a Glance-ness because every other studio change was like born of necessity like I move it and then I put up wallpaper. We hadn't moved into a new place since June 2020 and we hadn't like made choices since then so it's just given like the the changing nature of our lives. Choices are being made. That's what I'll say. Choices have been made. Now I'm so paranoid so I just wanted to quickly check with you. Your camera no no but red button red button on the bottom right right? Yeah. There's only one one camera light like to the bottom right of the lens. Yeah.

2:16I am so paranoid. Today's the first day we're on our own. Yesterday we had like all of our fancy people coming and helping us and they taught us how to do everything And today's like, today's really a test of like what Jackson turd can do. It's true. Training wheels are off. Speaking of our fancy people, we posted a vlog last night on our Patreon of the whole behind the scenes of the setting up process. It starts with Claude in New York. She vlogged her studio transformation and a bit of her move. And then I flogged, flogged. I did flog it. You did flog, by the way. I flogged that. We need to talk about that.

2:43My home studio transformation. So it's a Parsi dual vlog. We really put our heads together and you can watch it on patreon.com slash the toast. Yes, you'll get a little behind the scenes of my new studio. I have done a studio tour in the old OG studio. We both did. It was very MTV Cribs style. So that one, if you guys want to go watch it, because a lot of people wanted to see the old studio, you'll see it in the new vlog, but there is like a full proper tour. And then my new space, which I probably went to a tour for a really long time. I'm waiting on so much furniture. It will not be done for a really long time.

3:10But this specific corner where I, you know, create art, this is kind of like my artist studio. In your own little corner, in your own little square, you can be. When you think of Cinderella. Which one do I think of? Who is your Cinderella? That's a good question. When I think of that song, of course, I think of Brandy. Of course. But when I think of Cinderella, honestly, I think about the animated character. Not Lily James. Not Robert, King of the North. Excuse me? Robert Madden. Is that his name? Oh, yeah, yeah. Robert, King of the North. When I think of King of the North, I think of like the enormous like Hagrid, Robert Baratheon, King of the North.

3:56No. Oh, wait, no. He was literally not even the King of the North. Hold on. Robert Baratheon was in the show for two minutes. The King. No, but he was also just like the regular King. Yeah, he was the regular King. No. Yeah. Rob Star, King of the North. Yeah. That's like an interesting piece of history, Robert Madden, how like his career like truly went nowhere. No, that's not true. He's in that show or movie, The Bodyguard. He's always nominated for shit. what else like seriously what else cinderella okay he's actually like one of the ones who made it out of game of thrones there are so few he's mid-tier he's mid-tier like top tier is obviously which so crazy somebody was in the show for 30 seconds jason momoa amelia clark she was doing the damn thing for a while but i think she like kind of is over it it seems like she gave up um sophie turner of course i would say those are the three yeah and she gendeline christie don't sleep on Gwendolyn Christie she's like doing stuff Brienne of Tarth Oath Keeper yeah yeah I agree with that Peter Dinklage Wicked oh oh Peter Dinklage though he wants no association with the movie yeah he's not doing much press maybe if they cast you in a movie as the worst character too you wouldn't want to and you had the only song on the album that's a skip like yeah you wouldn't want to show up oh my god when I'm listening to the Wicked album and Peter Dinklage starts talking like Sam Hunt.

5:15Something bad. It's happening in us. I can't even repeat it. I like I move so quickly to the skip button. I've actually hidden that song on the album so that I go straight from like Wizard and I to Dancing Through Life. Shall we quickly just take a turn into the Department of Corrections? Something I wanted to correct from yesterday's episode that I found hysterical is actually Dexter Morgan, the person who penned the change.org petition to have Dora Dora Jarr removed from the Gracie Abrams tour is actually not a person. It's a fictional character. Dexter Morgan is Dexter. So we said it sounded like a TV character show's name and we were right.

5:57So someone didn't put their whole dextasy behind that change.org position. They did not put their whole dextasy. That's exactly what I was trying to say. Thank you. So show your face. Show yourself. Show your face. Glad to have cleared that up. What else did you do last night? Yesterday was such a busy day with post-prod. Didn't you find? So busy. So busy. Such a busy day with post-prod. Yesterday's episode was slightly delayed. Obviously, Jackie and I are getting our, you know, our new normal in order. So we will get back to our quick uploads. It's just been, it's been a journey because everything's changed.

6:35Today, like, I don't want to jinx anything, but like we started on time. So I think we should be okay. At least for audio. Yeah. Yeah. So like yesterday, I agree, it was like super stressful and it was great. I'm just like so loving this new life for myself. Like I've just sort of created a new life. You ever know? Do you know that feeling? I do. Because you've also created a new life. I have created a new life. What does your new life entail? like a shorter commute a part g studio like i'm gonna make like a cute little office here i'm just like excited about what the future holds cultivating a vibe yeah oh my god i got woken up this morning like before my alarm so annoying by actually like a crazy acrobat in my belly i've never experienced anything like that in my life i thought there was an earthquake like my whole stomach i wish i could have seen it because i'm sure like my stomach was like like a basketball like it was the craziest thing i've ever felt in my life and it wasn't like uncomfortable per se but it wasn't it wasn't pleasant and that was the baby oh I hope so as opposed to like the bowels yeah no no oh yeah I didn't have diarrhea thank you I guess that was confusing no there was a baby in there that's so cute like real kicks and and movement really crazy that's so exciting and then I entered a new week yesterday you know on those apps oh Mondays are your days for updates exactly so I checked and I just want to say with each I used to really look forward to checking it's like oh grape lentil and now I feel every time I check I'm even more confused and lost than I was the week prior because it feels like we're not moving in a linear way we're not getting bigger or heavier like it goes from like first of all I've gotten grapes twice and I guess it was like a bundle of grapes versus one grape it's just they make it needlessly confusing and also like anatomically confusing because well it's hard because a baby isn't a fruit yes I'm aware but I just feel like they could be doing a better job keep coming up with fruits that are the same like inches and do they do it by weight so now I'm learning because I was complaining about this on my Instagram that it's by length because I'm like how the hell is a baby a banana like yeah after just being an avocado which is very dense and round yeah so it's all about length and to be completely honest like of all the facts I could learn about my baby like its length is not something I'm like particularly interested in honestly.

9:00Yeah. Well that's to do with like that's helpful for the size and then you get the weight at the. At the doctor's appointment. And also I don't know at what point in your pregnancy you stopped calling the baby it. I haven't reached that point yet. Well I feel like later in pregnancy I came up with like a name that it was going by like first was Elsie and then the second pregnancy was Larry. Don't forget about Larry. I loved that. I loved when we were calling your unborn baby Larry. Yeah. I feel like you're going to get to a place somewhere like you have the nickname. It just, it's like all nicknames.

9:30We've been calling it baby. That's nice too. Yeah. And it, obviously. It works. Can't forget about it. Yeah. You look so sweet today. I look sweet. It's, you know, we have to dress differently for these chairs. They're very deep. We're being shot at a different angle. You see, shoe. Yesterday I looked so short, so I got a throw pillow today. And update, my coccidinia like wasn't flaring up so terribly. during yesterday's episode. I also saw that you said on the vlog that you need to use your coccidinia pillow in this chair, but you don't. The pillow will sink and get lost. Well, I'll see if I end up needing it.

10:05I'm obviously going to start without because it's so fucking ugly. Yeah. I need to get like a pillow maker to match the linen of this chair to my coccidinia pillow. Like I refuse to sit on that big, oh my God, I just have to tell you the funniest thing. I just have to tell you the funniest thing. I was going out to lunch yesterday because I wanted to pat myself on the back for a job well done in our new studio. so I took myself out to lunch by myself where'd you go? just like a small cafe somewhere new or the same old? same old, like one of my local spots I won't put you on blast, just like wondering the vibe and so I was by myself and obviously I had nothing to do so I started like listening to people's conversations and I was stuck between two equally uninteresting conversations I was just like where do I go from here and I feel like there must have been like nearby like a local event for Holocaust Remembrance Day because the people in the restaurant were all just giving like older and Jewish.

10:58I'm like, I just, and it was like a lot of people were wearing like the yellow ribbon, the hostage pin. I was like, there was an event nearby that just got out. I could just feel it. So I don't know. That's not relevant. So the ladies sitting next to me are two women. One of them is like very, very old grandma vibes. And one of them is like, you know, like an older mom. I would say she's like 40 or 50, you know? And the younger one says, I start listening and she goes to her friend. And she goes, oh my God, you remind me so much of my friend who just passed away. And I could tell she immediately was like, oh shit, that's not something you say to a person who's like actually close to passing away.

11:34She was like, not in like the old sense, like in the wise sense. I'm like, yeah, sure lady, like good luck cleaning that up. It was seriously so awkward. I was dying. Like I need to listen to people's conversations more often. They're so interesting. And I was telling Ben, I was like, by the way, that should be one of your like, what are your nuts is, you know? I'm always like nominating things for what are your nuts. he never chooses mine so I was like fuck it I'll tell it on my podcast yeah we could have our own segment we could imagine what are you futz I thought you were gonna say what are you fucking nuts yeah no I'm always like that's such a good what are you nuts moment and I know that's so nice of you I just want to say that you're keeping an ear out for what are you nuts he keeps a list in his phone and like whenever something happens he'll like write it down and whenever I share of mine with him I've never seen him write them down to bust out the list but I thought that was a good one what are you nuts that's rude yeah I guess he didn't have that like strong reaction because he didn't hear it in person but that is really odd it's a what are you nuts moment it's a what are you nuts moment the stories today are what because we have deer toasters we don't have deer toasters honestly deer toasters is another version of what are you nuts because there's always one person in the situation who's truly deranged it's true and i kind of love that for us we so what you're saying is we actually invented what are you nuts it's true love that he could be mining deer toasters for candidates he could how are they today they're good actually i combed through our inbox looking for an update from the girl who wrote in last week about her husband and that circle of nude photos um we haven't heard from her i'm sure she's dealing with a lot so obviously like zero pressure I'm sure she like you know hasn't even listened to this week's episodes she's probably so she doesn't she doesn't even know we moved into a new studio to be honest like dear toasters will never be the same after that like I think she broke dear toasters I know even when I was going through submissions for today my bar has been raised like to the like a crazy level I nobody's submissions today are even remotely as close but they're like you know normal people craziness no and it's like until she gives us an update like we're all just kind of stuck on that like dear toasters is on pause not saying that we're not doing deer toasters like I would never we've learned our lessons um but we're all just kind of frozen by this yeah and like I think that as a community we collectively like haven't moved from deer toasters since that girl wrote in about like the guy hoarding water bottles in her office and now like we we had finally like just started to move on from that as a community and then this happens and we're just sort of stuck again we're at a standstill yeah so I'll be curious to see what the girlies have brought for us today you know I hate to be the like you know giving you notes but remember we did say we want to sit more in the middle of our chairs you just look like you're skewing a little a little well actually my booty do you I just was reminding no yesterday well also because Broody was here yesterday yesterday I was literally in this lot on the side like he took up the whole chair you were almost out of frame today my booty is in the middle but I do if I may sip on that lean because I'm leaning oh sip on that lean girl I'm sipping um so we have dear toasters and the stories are this is me sipping on that lean what is lean like cough syrup yeah like perp one more spoon of cough syrup now whoa whoa okay i'm sitting more centered now coming up now coming up now that's like probably one of the best i know you probably don't have like an answer in your pocket to this question because you're like mentally stable but what's like your favorite glee cover is that bottom girls that's a really good answer and it's definitely in like my top 10 as well um but a lot of people's favorite glee cover is Darren Chris doing cough syrup they say it's better than the original let me tell you that will never Darren Chris would never be like my number one do you have beef with blame no I just like don't um relate like he's not like I don't relate to him so much like the things that he did except for firework like don't really stand out in my memory.

15:37Who is your least favorite character on Glee? I don't want to be rude. I don't want to be rude because in real life like they're probably the only ones that I, that would hear this. Okay, so it's either Becca Tobin, Kitty, which it's obviously not. You know that it's not. Is it Tina Cohen Chang? Oh my God. And Jenna Ushkowitz is a toaster. You guys know I recently recorded an episode of the Glee podcast. Make sure to check it out. Even though it's like not a knock on Jenna, because of course not but she's not tina but seriously it's tina and arty it's tina and arty well both of them both of the hosts of the glee podcast that i just wait the only like the only people who've ever supported us like that's why i didn't want to say it the only people who have ever platformed us like yes they were my favorite characters wow i wish you had told me that before going on the glee podcast so i could have shared that with them kind of an exclusive on my episode i haven't re-watched glee in a lot of years so the feelings aren't fresh but i just remember like that was frustrating to me no for sure tina cohen chang was like loki the worst she faked having a lisp like that's literally so ableist um and then was like best friends with an actually disabled person and like she what is my disability a joke to you it was i agree with you completely and artie actually i didn't dislike artie um i didn't but tina cohen chang as a character although like when you are on the journey of the glee club like members are always leaving they're almost like they have to have 12 members for sectionals and they're always like hanging on to like 11 and tina cohen chang is one of the og members she's in the very first episode she's one of the first five members with finn and rachel and arty arty also so there is something to stay about like their loyalty to the glee club no i think then she was on a power trip she was like one of those seniors who yes by the way so picked on as a freshman and software like and the only thing that makes her powerful is being a senior and they're going to use that against you there actually I believe is an episode like about that sort of senioritis attitude from the seniors and Tina sort of leads the pack you're 100 % right about that senioritis yes senioritis what I would do to like experience senioritis again yeah where you just like your whole life is in front of you no but the crash from senioritis is so real like I wouldn't want to to have that looming and I think that's why people really act out with their senioritis because they know they're about to cry for help they're about to go back to the bottom of the heap whether you're a high school senior and you're going to be a college freshman or you're a college senior and now you have to like enter the real world like that's why they're so angry and pompous you think senioritis is more of a cry for help yes i do i love that your least favorite character on glee now that you put me on the spot to talk trash oh well it's kurt obviously um because i also recently re-watched the episode where Kurt's dad has a heart attack.

18:26And the Glee Club is so there for them. And they're really there for them in a spiritual way. And the Glee Club is quite diverse. So they have members from all backgrounds and religions. So they're all just like offering their particular prayers. Their prayers. And Kurt is obviously like having like a moment with God. So he like is rejecting not only the prayers, but people's kindness. And he acts. And of course, when you go through tragedy, like you act however you want to act. But he's, honestly, like the way he acts is so egregious. Um... But he has his moments. I think more so I dislike Kurt because every song he sings is a song I would never choose.

19:00I also, from what I remember, dislike Kurt because he's always knocking Rachel. Nobody will say anything and then he has to insult Rachel. And it's like, okay, jealous. He's definitely threatened. But there does come a point in Glee where the two of them lay down their arms and then become best friends. As they should be. The theater queens. And the show gets so much better after that. And then, of course, they move to New York together. So I think Kurt's redemption arc is when he finally leans into what is meant to, like he's destined for greatness, him and Rachel. Like you're 100 % right. He hates Rachel.

19:32It's like a jealousy threat. Everyone hates Rachel because they're all jealous of her. But 100 % when he finally embraces like that friendship, he becomes such a more tolerable character. Agreed. And that's what you missed on, Glee. And that's how Jackie sees it. That is how Jackie sees it. Now we can talk about why Sue Sylvester is the best character. so you didn't ask me who my favorite character is but it's obviously sue sylvester also i can't believe i said my least favorite character is kurt when it's actually not it's mr show i'm so sorry i know that i was thinking of the members of the glee club that's like known you know yeah and when you say like my i think i said who's your favorite glee cast member or glee club member because there's two different tiers of characters on the show the members and then the staff obviously sue sylvester is the best character and obviously matthew marston is seriously the devil um so yeah i didn't want to let the segment go on without just acknowledging that yeah no it's been i don't know like 20 days since we trashed matthew marison actually it's been way more no whenever i did the glee club podcast that was the last time i trashed matthew marison okay so i think we should dive in because we have stories we have your toasters and we just have like lots to do lots on the agenda we've got a lot of business so without further ado Here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know.

20:51And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you up by Charlotte Tilbury, one of my absolute favorite beauty brands. Charlotte Tilbury has bottled 30 years of artistry into easy-to-choose, easy-to-use beauty products. You really can't go wrong. They're flattering for everyone, everywhere, and that's the reason why she's the queen of glow. She's also the queen of, I feel, celebrities, social media, influencers. Every girl I know who has fabulous makeup uses mostly Charlotte Tilbury products. So many of them are so viral and sold out all the time for really good reason. Her glow wands, which I feel like really were like, you know, a cultural shift.

21:21The contour wands, the glow wands, the blush wands are the best like dewy makeup look. They're also like so user friendly, so idiot friendly. Like if you don't know how to blend or do makeup, it's so just entry level, honestly. Her rigorous standards ensure that every product is designed and formulated for performance like nothing else on the market. And take her iconic Hollywood Flawless Filter, which is the absolute best product to put on either under foundation or sometimes I like to use it instead of foundation. It can blur, smooth, and illuminate your skin. Plus, it has skincare-infused ingredients, so it's clinically proven for hydration up to 24 hours.

21:55That's the other thing. You're not gonna take the makeup off and feel like your pores are super clogged and oily. It's really quality product. So from red carpets to influencers' bathrooms, her legendary icons have gone viral for making everyone look and feel like the most beautiful, confident version of themselves.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Vivrell, the first of its kind luxury accessories members club.

You can borrow anything within your tier. Vivrell has no return dates, and you can swap items once per month or keep items for as long as you'd like.

22:52So it's kind of like the most brilliant thing that I wish I started, because Jackie and I obviously love designer bags. It's definitely a hobby of ours, but everyone has limitations on how many they can get. Like, you know, budget-wise, closet space-wise, for a million reasons, like you can't buy every bag that you want to, and that's devastating. and I think that the founders of Vivrelle really understand that. And sometimes like once you wear a bag and like it kind of goes out of style, like you wish you didn't buy it. And so that's what Vivrelle is so great for. Like if you're not wanting to buy a bag that's like really trendy, but you obviously still want to wear it and take pictures in it, your membership at Vivrelle will let you borrow it for as long as you want, take your pictures, return it, boom, get another one.

23:27And they have really fabulous bags. Designers, like the ones you want are the ones you get. They also have jewelry, watches, different accessories.

24:35The New York federal judge told both sides in an order late Monday to prepare for a March 9th, 2026 trial. So over a year. However, I feel like soon this will be on pause until the trial. That's why I think this - Oh, I don't think so. I think that they're going to use this next year. He keeps dropping things. The lawyer went on Megyn Kelly. They just dropped a voice memo. They dropped that voicemail. They dropped the pictures from the basement. but he will use this next year to really sway public opinion. Because like we've said, every time we talk about this, like obviously everybody wants to win the lawsuit, but they also want to win public favor.

25:10And he has a plan. And by the way, it's so important to keep in mind, Blake has literally not responded to a single thing yet. So we haven't even heard the retaliation in the public sphere. Yes. He put out a voice note, two voice notes. He shared that he had sent to Blake at like 2 a.m. while they were filming there from like April, 2023. I've heard bits and pieces. is like I'm finding it really hard to like actually listen to and look at the primary source material because it is so cringe and I just want to say something I feel like some people have um guess or theorized that something happened between them like Blake developed a crush or they fell in love and then Ryan found out and that's why Ryan was so mad and tried to ruin Justin and that's why Blake was so got her feelings hurt because she had a crush on him and he didn't like that was the running theory that Blake liked Justin and Justin refused her advances and that's what this whole saga is about so when I've seen that like I feel like that is so simplistic and juvenile and I've kind of dismissed it every time and I still think that that's like not exactly what happened however now when I read these texts and I hear the voice notes I'm like they are talking to each other more intimately than two people would like when he even said like I was so excited to have Blake Lively and the whole of you and all of you like who the fuck talks like that in a voice note like my voice notes are just like um I received that my my voice um I received that not as those two having any sort of like intimate relationship I feel like it's a real testament to their character both as freaks um and as like people who really take themselves so seriously it's like artists that you're making a Colleen Hoover movie that's where I was but now I'm starting to just get swept away by all the conspiracy theories no certainly not swept away this is not me being swept away I'm just like hmm maybe there's some sort of romantic element here maybe I'm just now giving it more credence because everything that we're seeing it's just very intimate the way that they speak is all I'm saying it is and I think it's more so like reflective of these people in Hollywood who seriously are not normal human beings they're such weirdos and freaks and like and they talk in an earnest way like this right and it also just then adds not that ryan wouldn't ever defend blake at all costs anytime like i feel like he if she she was wrong like he would go balls to the walls but like if he did feel like he was encroaching on his relationship or that his wife caught feelings for someone else then he's even madder but again And I do think it's like a little simplistic.

27:44No, people are like, well, Ryan doesn't know. Like Blake told, Blake was mad that Justin did not want to sleep with her. So she went home and started this rumor that he sexually harassed her. Like, to be honest, I actually think that's like such an insulting thing to say. Yeah. Like that a woman's only saying she's being sexually harassed because her advances were turned down. Like that's like, that's like in the OG handbook of how to deny someone's like experience. So I actually, every time I see that, I'm like, okay, that's seriously the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Yeah. That I don't think is it, but.

28:21Oh, and that Ryan's in the dark on all of this. But something about this is like a little more intimate to go from like speaking like this to suing each other is very confusing. It's giving scorned lover. I don't know what it's giving, but I'm curious. but that's why I think I'm going to watch this whole trial because I cannot parse out what the fuck happened here. And I don't believe in New York courts you can have like televised media. We need this to be a televised affair. Like the whole, we need clarity. I have no clarity now. I'm more confused than I've ever been. A thousand percent. And I think that's why people got so invested in the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial was because they were able to like really listen in every day and discern for themselves.

29:03Decide for yourself, yeah. Yes. And so it's not like we're leaving it up to a magazine to recap it for us. Like we will be in New York. And I'm 90 % sure you can't televise a trial. Like there's no media. But people like a reporter can sit in and then write what they heard. But then you're getting someone else's version. A reporter might like recap the fire points that one lawyer made. And you'll be like, oh my God. But then they might leave out the fire points another reporter made. And they have their biases. And the New York Times is like being sued. And they're in the midst of this. So I actually don't trust the media on this.

29:34Shocking. I want the primary source material no matter how difficult it is to listen to and watch like the footage from the movie and the voice notes and the text messages like the cringe but um I don't know I feel like this is really high stakes now and we deserve to know everything and we should know everything we do I don't think that trumps the law which is that you can't but I agree it will really hinder people's ability to think for themselves because this is so divisive if we're not really given 24 like full access to what's going on in that courtroom yeah they need to move it to virginia which is where the amber her trial was yeah but anyways it's in a year so i i can't imagine it's going to be like a year more of like every day something dropping i think it will be quiet for a little bit until trial starts because also don't you like want some things hold back like to surprise your right but also like public favor has really moved away from blake lively yeah That I think it would behoove her between now and the trial to respond in some way.

30:33She hasn't said anything since that first complaint. Yeah. So. And oh, and by the way, once they turn over the text messages to Discovery, like that'll be a whole new wave of media and stories. Right. Right. Oh my God. So that's the latest. Are you ready? Seriously, I don't envy them. No. No. this is a mess yeah are you ready for our next story an update on something on our list is that megan markle has delayed new episodes of her archetypes podcast with lemonada after postponing her netflix cookery show so i thought you were gonna say she was postponing the netflix show again but i literally forgot about lemonada i did not forget about lemonada just like actually it's up there with this story i manifested it this story we nobody else was asking what happened to Meghan Markle's Lemonada show except for you.

31:28So she's already delayed the release of her Netflix cookery show with Love, Meghan from January to March due to the devastating wildfires in LA. And now it appears her podcast with Lemonada Media, which appeared to tease new episodes at the start of the month, will also be delayed. According to Hello Magazine. Why? What? What's the reason? IDK. Because of the wildfires? They didn't put out a statement, but like, if you go and look, they should have been out and then they're not out. Episodes of Archetypes have been pushed back the magazine hello magazine i don't know how much you know they understand that a series of new podcast episodes for megan has also been pushed back as a result as a result of what of the fires because if she was having problems getting this podcast up which it seems like obviously she has she should have looped it in with the wildfire delay of the netflix show being like i'm delaying all my projects because then nobody could say anything but to delay something now because of the wildfires when they're they're not contained per se but like it's much more under control like people have resumed you know normal promotion of things yeah um it's a it's a mistake she should have looped them all in together yeah Daily Mail theorizes it's because of that Vanity Fair article about uh the divorce book or whatever I don't think it's that I think she just doesn't have episodes yeah and I think it's more so the classic Meghan Harry you know right and that's kind of like I know that's something people clown on her about but it is one of my favorite things about her like she doesn't let this sort of um

32:58like stereotype about her like oh harry and megan never released their projects like if you wanted to sort of beat that you would release your projects right now here we are at the top of the year her two projects have both been delayed like i love that she doesn't fight it you know this like this rumor about her like she doesn't do anything to dispel it and she don't give a fuck like cashing in the check before like putting like delivering your homework it's just it's a it's it's something I actually really admire yeah it's um and it's interesting enough how like I will not be listening to the Lemonada podcast no like no tea no shade I didn't listen to her archetypes podcast I don't listen to many podcasts I don't make I don't listen to podcasts I just make them um so like no tea no shade um but I imagine there's a contingency of people who've been sort of waiting like if Megan's your girl and she announces a podcast how excited you are and those people are just like waiting and wait like I'm thinking of Stassi Shorter right now because I know she's excited for the podcast you know yeah no it's definitely tough being like a Megan fan and just there's a lot of waiting wanting to support her project yeah definitely she doesn't let you imagine being like we're finally getting the cooking show two days till the show two months no and think about how like we weren't excited like we're not even huge Megan fans like we really wanted to watch that show yeah and like we were disappointed so imagine if we were people who like ran fan accounts like real stands yeah I also be an exhausting job running a Meghan Markle fan account like you can't really make any promises no you can't you really can't unlike the other fan accounts that make like really concrete oh they make change.org petitions like keepers um I'm also just curious from a podcasting standpoint like what this show is going to be and like the longer she posts ones it like just the more we don't know i don't think it's gonna be show page up like it can you like is it just up with the trailer on the podcast app i think so but also i i'm sure the old episodes of art it's still archetypes so i wonder if they're gonna go back to like exploring different archetypes it's not by the way like there's no show page on on apple Oh, interesting.

35:00It's on Spotify still. Archetypes. Yeah. I'm talking about the new Lemonada show. The new Lemonada show is Archetypes. Oh. What? It's her show. She took it to Lemonada. Oh, she got the name? Yeah. Got it. Okay, Archetypes. So is Archetypes on Apple? Yes. But it says it's Archwell Studios. Oh, it's Lemonada. Yeah, okay. So the most recent, yeah, they just have that first season. the Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, Mindy Kaling. Yeah. Oh, but now sales and distribution are done by Lemonada Media. So I guess if you're going and listening to old episodes, they're making money off of that because they're selling ads.

35:41But I don't know how much the old, like, what are these episodes now? When did this come out? Like a year and a half ago. Doesn't even say. But I don't know how many people are going back and listening. I don't know. But I guess the Megan fans do have that. That they could always go back and listen. Thank God for like the catalog. The Archetypes catalog. Yeah, the Archives. The Archives. That's a good name too. It is a good name. Are you ready? Maybe she ever opens like a library. A library that's empty.

36:17Are you ready for our next story, our third story? Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, no, no. Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. A little music news. Pargy transition. Lady Gaga has unveiled the title, cover, and release date for her upcoming seventh album. Wait, that's so crazy that I didn't see this. No, I didn't see it until I was looking for stories like it didn't cross my desk as just a little monster. That's worrisome. A little bit. So her new album, her seventh studio album, is called Mayhem. And it will be released on March 7th. The project will feature 14 tracks, including the previous released songs, Disease and Die with a Smile with Bruno Mars.

36:56Oh, I didn't realize that that was like her song for her album. I think it's also his song for his album because he has a new album coming out too. And I think there's like Collapse. I think they're both putting it on their album. Right. The Pussy song, of course. The P song. Okay. So I feel as though Lady Gaga, I don't want to say flop era because it's just one movie. But she commits herself so deeply to things. So full adieu while the movie is just like a movie. It was also the last two years of her life and her whole like public persona. and so I'm just like having that association with her and you forget like that she is that bitch, right?

37:29She's lived so many different lives and she has so many different careers and she's never really had like a flop music career although I think some people would consider Joanne a flop but we would not. Literally never. I think the flop is considered art pop and then I do think history has been kind to art pop. That's the thing. It's like at the time art pop didn't do well but now it's reflected on as like one of the most genius albums of pop work in our time. Like and Joanne just like didn't do well and people like never went back and took a second look because if they did, they would see, you know, so much to work with.
