I Love Your Opalite, Sky: Monday, October 6th, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast and happy monday hope everybody had a splendid weekend mine was splendid yeah i went to dj maxx hey jacks how you doing doing good mine was splendid as well i made a chili so that's always going to be a recipe for success i was actually promised a chili and one never arrived ben on sunday was like should we make a chili and i i knew something was up you know because why would he be so generous ben like low-key like doesn't like making chili i'm always like oh we should make a chili and he's like fine he has to film an ad you he has to film an ad oh what brand is sponsoring his chili i don't want to spoil it because it's i don't want to spoil it okay well that's really exciting but he didn't do his chili for his wife nor his brand work is that what you're saying no he's delayed content is delayed well we had the busiest weekend I'm sure you did it's a busy time yeah I am going LA you are going to LA and he didn't even make you a chili even though he's trying to court you to go to LA and a chili would definitely help move the needle I ran out of reasons to say no and now I actually believe it's a good idea like we should definitely go how fun is that like I was being a hater but first of all the lack of air conditioning in my studio was not going to work for me you know It's 80 degrees.

1:41It was 80 degrees yesterday. 80 degrees. It's October. It's been 80 degrees for three days in a row. I've had enough. I'm leaving. When do you leave for LA? Flights are booked. We'll literally be leaving this week. And if merely a few days. Okay, great. We also need to like then sink because then you're on LA time. Yes. So LA Swirlies episode will be coming out on our time. Sorry. Like I'm not waking up at 5 a.m. to podcast. Like, yeah, we will probably we'll be like a noon one o 'clock show for the East Coast Swirlies. Isn't that what we are now? will be a one two o 'clock show for the east coast swirling coast swirlies and we can record at like nine my time well no we had that we have to we have to discuss we'll figure we'll coordinate don't worry i like haven't even told you i had to find a place to live um i had to get like a stroller so many things i had to call brian kelly 1000 times asking i've never taken ruby on a plane so you know and i literally in the middle of my text messages with him i said i feel so privileged to have like direct access to you i would be googling all these things and brian knows everything and Brian has two kids so yeah we figured it out we're gonna be okay we are gonna be okay he's at such a great age to travel it's really like he's kind of just attached to you yeah we like yeah it's it is what it is listen we're doing it can't turn back now I'm very excited for you same and then by the time I get back my new place will get done everything that needs to get done there's like no furniture um so much work needs to be done so you know what It's good.

3:10It's good. Turdy takes LA. I love LA. Turdy would. I love it. I'm going to be like my co-host is LA. I feel like Ben and Josh. Benny and Joshie. Joshie and Benny. The Knicks are so bad and this is not good. Yeah. Except Joshie and Benny will be like Jackson Cod. That's disgusting. That's disgusting. So I had like a crazy weekend of just like getting all that planned. Like buying packing cubes. I now own packing cubes. Yeah. I don't want to talk about it. That's like something that kids, like when you have kids, you have packing cubes. I have so many packing cubes. And I stand by that. Like they're not that like different.

3:47They're kind of nice because you don't have like a, because their clothes are so little that you don't want a huge suitcase with all these little folded individual things. You take out the sack, you put it on the bed and it's like you're staying for a long time. So obviously you'll unpack, but like you could kind of keep things in their cubes if it was a shorter trip. They do serve a purpose and they make you feel really organized, especially when the clothes are so little. Yeah. I see people on TikTok like always getting their packing cubes like pack with me for whatever. And it's a grown ass people fitting like two pairs of shoes in a cube.

4:15Two shirts. I don't. And I'm an extremely organized person. I live for organization. That's like porn to me. I love cleaning. I love like everything having a place. I don't think packing cubes. I think it's a little bit like Internet shtick. Not maybe for adults. But I stand by the fact that for kids, you kind of need them for all the little items. There are just so many little items. You can't have them like loosey-goosey in a big suitcase. Yeah, no, I get it. I just like I'm annoyed that that's like the stage of life that I'm currently in. Yeah, but then there's some cute packing cubes. I do like one color for Harry.

4:51I did Amazon same day delivery. One color for Charlie, you know. Yeah, some of us don't have time to color code. Like we had to get the ones that Amazon could deliver today between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m., you know? Yeah, I understand. So that's what's going to. And also, I'm blogging today. I have kind of a busy day being like a businesswoman, a mother, and like a celebrity. So I thought it would be a good time to date in the life vlog. People always ask for that. So here you go. So here you go. She chose the busiest day, as one should. Oh, my God. And I left my LaCroix on my desk, which is like 10 feet away.

5:22Like seriously kill me. Did I? Oh, my LaCroix's over there. Didn't you just get up? I did because I left a light on so I didn't want to like affect the lighting I'm like so all over the place today yeah I mean that's honestly that's kind of giving like LA creator no it's giving like hair brain mother oh you know like creator hair but like I feel like LA influencers are always like oh my god like they're just hair brained as well yeah yeah oh man I'm so LA you are I'm excited to see how it changes you yeah like like I said I will be forgetting the little people so if you want me to remember you like do something nice for me today you know yeah or every day make a donation to the mark shown writer holocaust education foundation i'll remember that that's really beautiful um so many things we're gonna be talking way more about taylor's album today because i listened to it all weekend long um i have so many thoughts like i don't even know what i said on friday like delete everything i said i don't even remember what i said i don't even know if i still stand by it i have new thoughts new theories new meaning I have thoughts as well in my own personal opinions and in the context of the conversation that's happening.

6:29There is a conversation that is happening. Yeah. So I have a lot of thoughts. There are a bunch of really catchy hooks. Yeah, they are. Like, and that's Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor. And that's. Yeah, there are. We'll get into it. That will be our first story recapping Taylor, everything that's come out since the news, the drama, the beef, the videos. At the end of the episode, let's also do a little bit of a TV recap. We both started the new season of Love is Blind. I'm only on episode three. Like I just saw Edmund, like the reveal. And so that's what I'm up to. So don't spoil it.

7:12I know you're further along than me. Yeah, we'll talk about it. And then you might have to take your headphones off because I'm on episode six. But I want to say. I'm so behind. Yeah. I want to say in general, as a general statement, like this season is a travesty. I felt that way during episode three, like some of the worst television I've ever watched. If my husband wasn't so obsessed with this show, like he comes in and turns it on. I'm like, OK, I have other plans. He's the pusher. He's such a pusher. He loves the show. I would not be watching. It reminds me of that Minneapolis season that was positively dreadful.

7:44Remind me. Give me one person who was on that season. Joey and Monica. Ben Platt. Yeah. yeah yeah joey monica yeah yeah yeah i didn't finish that season um this feels like that also they're like committed to giving us way more pod time i think to like establish a couple things one that um you know so let's save it let's save it so we could see more of the couples like and so that they have like you know roots and we understand why they connected but also they're showing us more of everyone's overlapping connections just to say that that always happens do you know what i mean like it's yes but it makes it confusing it does make it confusing and okay we'll save the rest for later but i will take my headphones off i am like well now i'm getting to the good part because i'm on the honeymoons but like the pods were a really low i have three more pod episodes they yeah episode five is when like all of the reveals get done not but they get done along the way but like you're done with reveals in episode got it it's rough out here the pod episodes are like a necessary evil right like you really do in order like to have a good season you need to understand the connections and then last season I think they like understood that people don't love the pods so they gave us like half an episode of pods half an episode of honeymoons and the whole thing was them living in Minneapolis like who gives a fuck no but I feel like Minneapolis was a lot of pods I had to stop watching no no no the most recent season we got no honeymoons and no pods like we saw so much Minneapolis in their sad apartments like I'm good the honeymoon is hands down the best part I need a whole season of honeymoons when they started doing like the group meetup on the honeymoon yep and without fail these people always get weird in that scene yeah without fail like you would think that they would be like on their better behavior not drink so much not make comments about other people's looks that aren't their partner without fail they are so freaky and and this this current mixer that i just watched is actually one of the worst because the experiment like truly makes people crazy first of all you don't have your phone you're not connected to the outside world which already is like heightened weirdness then you're with a bunch of freaks and you're having like heightened emotions because you're falling in love with people and then you're traveling to a new country which is always exciting but you're this like freaky weird version of yourself and then like you get reunited with like your cellmates from the pod so it like reignites more weirdness it's it's definitely a social experiment no and like just everyone going forward you think people learn from reality tv they learn from seasons past like i'm not going to say this i'm not going to do that stop drinking at that honeymoon mixer stop it 1000 like drink when you go home okay so we will dive into that in the tv recap and we will do stories anything else you want to chat about before we dive in any more pre-fast five banner that you want to ban oh any more banter to be banton no i had a nice weekend i'm just been like taking it easy trying not to do like the most but we've been um we had people over actually yesterday for the games that's why i made a chili and i hosted and i cooked a chili that's a lot you also made corn muffins i did make corn muffins to accompany my chili parchy a fun fact about me i fucking love a corn muffin but i don't like it in the way that other people do i know it's like really popular to have with chili you like with jelly i love it with like as a sweet my man raspberry preserve oh speaking of raspberry preserve are we talking about megan markle in paris it did not make the cut can we talk about it briefly yeah because it almost made the cut and then i was like we're gonna do a whole story about blood and siaga because they switched their creative director but they never actually took accountability for the weird shit that they did like it's not gonna be a story sorry no of course and i i wanted to talk about it just like sort of put on blast and like shame everybody who went like anne hathaway like you like some people like need to be slumming it like jenna ortega like i get it like you're it's exciting for you to be invited to balenciaga but like anne hathaway with your leather gloves first so she looked terrible like the outfit was bad all these celebrities like flocking to balenciaga is so and i'm shocked megan markle went outside of the child scandal with balenciaga like balenciaga is a brand isn't like the in the high fashion world it's not like really elite right like megan Markle a former royal they're like street wear right I would say I could see her at Chanel I could see her at like honestly that's it like literally Chanel or maybe Dolce & Gabbard Hermes yeah right right right but like you're like slumming it at Balenciaga like I was shocked that that's and when she went she looked gorgeous like leaving that hotel with like her silk wraps her chiffon her look is so elegant I'm like you're going to Balenciaga where everyone wears leggings Like I was shocked.

12:21Like why? She could get an invitation to any show. Like unless maybe some of them are like monarchists. But like why? You never leave your house. You're going like a big thing. You're looking bad. It was a big deal that she went to Fashion Week for the first time in like 10 years. I thought maybe she has. Balenciaga is like so low of the totem pole even besides their big scandal. Maybe she has like a friendship with the new creative director. Maybe. But now in thinking about it, maybe they paid her a good amount to sort of like shift the perspective. Because she does like give off like royal energy and it's like you can't get Kate.

12:49like let's get Megan and she did bring a lot of elegance and if that's very elevated if that's the look going forward for Balenciaga then she is a good face for it so like maybe it was a big payday for her but fashion but like they don't make money because nobody's been shopping like as much as celebrities keep going in their shows nobody is shopping Balenciaga the people the streets we remember so I don't even know how they would have a lot of money to give her I was so confused I loved the idea of her stepping out in Paris Fashion Week I think like for the level of celebrity that she's at it's like a very like only top tier people new york fashion week is literally like influencer fast like it's not chic it's not elegant anymore milan fashion week and paris fashion week are so top tier i loved it for her i was like i wonder what show she balenciaga and her outfits are so not balenciaga they're so much better yeah i was shook yeah i kylie was in paris i don't think she went no they went to scaparelli like there are more there are more i know sorry kim went to balenciaga oh wait no did she where was she wearing her pixie cut i don't know i don't think it was balenciaga i thought she didn't go to no because her boy left her which is even weirder that she didn't go this time but like only goes for weird ass demna yeah ugly clothes that's even weirder like now it's like okay demna's not there like everyone can pretend like it didn't happen and like go support balenciaga even though i don't forget personally but I can see why they would think that I might forget um but to like now not go and I'm sure you didn't see this because you don't have TikTok and while I agree that like having TikTok is not the right move for you it makes me sad that you didn't see the video of Ina Garten at the Hermes fashion show in Paris with her Kelly on her lap sitting she's sitting at the end of the front row she has a Kelly on her lap she's watching the clothes she looks so sweet it is bar none the cutest thing I've ever seen she's just wearing like her little black trousers and her black button down.

14:43Like classic Ina Fares. She doesn't look crazy, but she has her Hermes bag on her lap. She's looking so fucking cute. It actually is like the cutest thing I've ever seen. That's really cute because you've been hard on her. I have. She's literally pissing me off. Oh yeah, to close the circle, we did get a food processor. But like not even about the food processor. Even before that, like with her memoir and like the bits and bobs she was sharing. Okay, by the way, one thing about me, I'm a fair person. I love Ina. The name of her memoir sucks. She was wrong for what she did to Martha Stewart. I'm holding space for three truths.

15:11There was also other titillating anecdotes that you sort of shot down. Yeah, about her and Jeffrey. And then you went in on Jeffrey. I did not go in on Jeffrey. I did not. You went in on Jeffrey. I would not. I didn't. Oh, you didn't even mention, make any sort of commentary that I got a haircut. You always have a fresh hair. Yeah, I got a haircut. Just a trim. Not a big deal. guys stop freaking out you get your haircut every three weeks stop freaking out about how different it looks like i know i just wanted to switch it up stop freaking out is this your new la hair yeah i love la but for the record like you did go in on jeffrey i lit okay you know what i did i went in on jeff and you know what he needed it i feel like no one i know he like thinks he's like a protected class like yeah sorry and like i you know i actually can't get into this without going in on him yeah actually yeah i do yeah you have to restrain yourself yeah it's fine okay well i think we should get into what we have to get into because we have a lot to discuss today so without further ado to do to do here are the fast five stories that you do need to know And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Wayfair.

22:30Like, I think a lot of it is just, like, songs put together, which is what an album is. But hers are always, like, so cohesive, so thematic. And I'm just, like, not understanding the life of a showgirl of it all. But I can get past that. Because every other artist does that and, like, nobody cares. But Taylor's just, like, often better than that. Yeah. And, like, she's being compared to herself where that's not something that she's done before is, like, put out this entire aesthetic and, like, mythology around something. And then it not be that at all, especially one that's so exciting and so ripe for like parginess and creativity.

23:05And then instead it's just like, not that. So can we now do what we did on Friday and go through all the songs? Because now I feel like I have way more to say about each song. Yeah, but what I want to say, I feel like I'm always, you know, very honest in my thoughts about Taylor for better or for worse. And I am a Swiftie and I have been since day one. And I feel like the way I'm enjoying this album. I feel like the experience people are having with this album like I already had with like TTPD of that like disappointment almost of like this person doesn't have a lot new to say doesn't have new ways of saying it and I felt like for TTPD it was so many songs to get about three hits for me three songs that I really like totally songs that I really liked whereas this album is 12 songs and I still got three songs that I really like so I'm like this is more concise this is more fun I feel like for a while I've been feeling like the lyrics are cringe there are cringe lyrics on ttbd yes there are very like even I know people were like joking about like the charlie pooth thing but like that was a really bad lyric line like that and people like got you know had fun with it but it was like we smoked an eight seven bars of chocolate are you gonna tell me what time you went to the bathroom as well like I it's so in the weeds and I feel like so what people are saying about this album is how I felt about ttbd and even a couple songs off midnights where it's like we didn't need this song sounds like some other songs not much new is said like but there are also some incredible songs on that album that like really um make the album and the rest is sort of filler I felt like this album had the less of that filler verbal diarrhea so I was able to enjoy it more yes so we do not align on ttpd because to me ttpd is very much like a sister of folklore evermore which is so my vibe and like yes it's very long-winded and I happen to really like that not you know for when I go on the treadmill every once in a while but like for the most part I love it um yes the cringe lyrics are something they're not new I think a lot of people have ignored her cringe lyrics like even I come back stronger than a 90s trend like even my ex-man bought his new girl I was just singing that song I'm like and when that came out people like felt like that was cringe but it just aged as well because it's yes a catchy beat but the cringe lyrics are not new but i do think as she gets older one they're getting like a little cringier but also relative to her age well it's just like the thing is it's just who she is i feel like we say this a lot like taylor herself it's like a self-proclaimed like choogy millennial so to hear it in like a cool pop song it sounds off but at least it's authentic to who she is and what i was gonna say oh yes so the thing is is that taylor what's different in Taylor's life like she's married I mean excuse me she's engaged this is clearly like a new different type of relationship it's like her biggest yet she's never been engaged um but at the end of the day like what she writes about is love and being in love and when she's writing those songs like about Joe Alwyn now they're not in love but they were so her being in love is like not new and her writing a lot of these songs about you know people are saying she references the music industry which aka is like Scott Borchetta a lot of Kim is definitely referencing one of the songs they want a fat ass and a baby face like we're beating horses dead and there's no newness in terms of content she's writing about love which she's written about before and like the same three scandals in her life and like that's where I feel it's getting repetitive and I selfishly like I'm over it yeah but I actually feel like the songs that she wrote about love on this album and the new love she's experiencing you know like one that's like positive and happy and cute and not like depressing are the best songs like yeah so she actually has something new to say in her relationship with Travis so I don't even think it's like oh you get happy and you get boring like not at all no no um but I do think like the ages old beef that that like I yeah I am a bit sick of those but I'm also sick of like hearing like these like minute details that are so niche to the point of like I'm not like gonna be walking around like singing about this like small thing so So let's go song by song.

27:12Okay. First, The Fate of Ophelia. The Fate of Ophelia. Which is the lead single, I believe. It's also the song that she did a music video for that's now out, but it was in the movie that she released in AMC. I watched a music video. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was so beautiful. She looked insane. I love the different vignettes. It was pargy, and that song is really good. It's kind of what Taylor does best. like a pargy radio pop song that you can't get out of your head yeah I really like this song but now I and I'm getting like I'm getting so much like T-Lo us just commentary in general and another piece we have to talk about is like the song sounding like other songs which I'm like we'll get to that but I saw a commentary about how like her description of Ophelia is actually like not Ophelia's arc in Hamlet like that she's just like waiting in this tower for like a love to be rescued like that's like really not like it's like snow white actually yeah no it sounds like a disney princess and like actually like ophelia like her tragedy said she had no agency like she was like told what to do by her like brother and her dad and like and now it's like i feel like on other albums when she would talk about these like larger concepts like they're so above all of our pay grades that like there's no criticism like what are you right we can't disagree with that we don't know major you don't you know enough and so now it's like to criticize like that or even poke holes in like the fact that she maybe used this reference incorrectly it's like well damn influence well damn travis's influence so but at other before the song was like you know tainted for me by that piece of commentary i this is such a great song it's on my liked love it agreed it's party and usually the first song there's like a little dance usually the first song on the album i always start at number two i never like the first song on her album like fortnight yeah yeah yeah uh i don't agree but yeah but this one actually elizabeth taylor is number two and even though people are saying it's growing on them it's like not really growing on me but that's okay it's a it's like a good it's not a bad song there's only one song that is actually bad on this album and it's called honey um but elizabeth taylor is like a good song if any other like pop girly released it we'd be like it's good like it's I disagree oh really yeah um I don't also like fully understand what she's saying in Elizabeth Taylor yeah I don't really either do you think it's forever Elizabeth Taylor I don't turn it off when I listen to it I'm like it's cute it's fun I like the beat I didn't save it okay did you I don't save music like that when I listen to the album in full and that's how I listen to TTPD and that's why I love TTPD next the best song on the album and the best song I think like on the last three albums not midnights but the others opalite yeah so good it's all right you were dancing through the lightning strike and there are so many theories about what it meant to go from onyx night to opalite jackie cracked the code but people on tiktok are being really crazy about it so i was listening to and it's like we know opalite is travis's birthstone so now the sky is opalite because it's travis's birthstone is this and opalite's also just like beautiful and pargy and she's like so happy and light and bright and she was previously um dancing through the onyx night now every time i hear that lyric i'm like i would have thought she would just say like dancing through the darkest night because if it was like dark times but i'm like wait onyx is that a birthstone yes it is a birthstone for the month of july so i went through recent exes no one's born in july i went all the way back i asked chat gbt they said connor kennedy is the only one so she's not referencing like an old boyfriend clearly um but they met in the month of July so like in July it wasn't Onyx night because it was dark before she met Travis and now she's having opalite yeah there are some like crazy Swifties who think that Onyx night because Onyx is black um they're referencing Taylor uh Taylor they're referencing Travis's ex-girlfriend who's black like people like people are really being crazy about this lyric it specifically but they're also like they've the the woke community is coming for Taylor and a lot of the lyrics and specifically saying that this is a microaggression.

31:18Oh, well, no, I cracked it. I don't think she would be so blatantly racist. No, no, no, you guys, it's just about the month. I cracked it, so there you go. Yeah, Jackie cracked it. They met in July. They met in July. Onyx is the birthstone for July, and the song has a theme of birthstones because it's opalite, which is October. Oh, his birthday was yesterday. Happy birthday to Travis. Happy birthday. I love your cake, Travis. I love your cake, Travi. Yes, agreed. that song is a pussy popping banger yeah and like for me that's like such an amazing song that this makes this album amazing like i got one of my favorite songs that's why i'm enjoying the album yeah it's all right it's just joyful too right and that's like definitely what i gravitate towards joy yeah and that's what i'm saying like she's writing about her love with travis it's a new form of love and it's a beautiful song and it's great and it's fun so it can be done yeah next eldest daughter i'm not a bad bitch there's a lot of cringe lyrics in here but we'll get back to it and this isn't savage i ain't never gonna let you down never gonna leave you out okay there's actually a lyric in here that's trolling and memes like she says the word that's the first sentence that was that's hard to hear it is so it's like she's creating these beautiful melodies and her voice is so beautiful and then she'll say something that just like takes you out of the song and like i'm sorry a song like this can't age well because like memes you know memes like i can't yeah no it's it's rough um and also i heard that the clean version of this song goes I'm not the baddest and this isn't savage I like that better I'm not a bad bitch is like really yucky cringe but it's but the lot the melody is really pretty so it's not a total like miss for me but um same and I understand what she's saying and I actually like what she's saying like in this world of like internet and trolling and just like negativity like she's not like that like she doesn't play like like I actually get it and she's such an eloquent person I feel like there would have been a partier way to say it instead of I'm not a bad bitch and this isn't savage I think I need to start listening to the clean version of the album because I like some of those lyrics that make I heard that about a bunch of songs yeah like for because for the movie theater version it's the clean versions of the song so you could bring your kids oh um that's nice of like the one the lyric that everybody's like dying over actually like actually romantic like make you wet uh we have to talk about that makes you sweat good um then before that was father figure which people are saying it's either about scott borchetta olivia rodrigo or both inverted it's so in the movie theater she says it's about the music industry okay aka scott borchetta okay um i'll be your father oh because my dick's bigger that's like a cringe line that i don't hate yeah i and the first time i heard it i missed it and And then when she said at the bridge, when she turns the tables, because now her dick's bigger.

34:22I was like, well, damn. But in the clean version, it's my check's bigger. I like that. Also good. I like that. Also good. This song is not amazing. It's not terrible. It's fine. It's on the bottom half for me. Yeah. Next is Ruin the Friendship, which, how does the chorus go? It wasn't convenient. How does it go? hold on wait I mean I have them up here I could play it hold on I don't want to hear it should have kissed you anyway oh yeah I don't want to say anything bad about it because it's like obviously about something sad and I think it's also the same person in Taylor's life who Forever Winter was about it's just about like somebody who struggled with mental health so it's like a sweet song I think the lyric about her getting the call from Abigail and having to fly home and it not being convenient.

35:18I think that was a really weird word to use. Convenient. Like, sorry. Sorry that this funeral is not convenient for you. Yeah. Also, her talking about like that she's it's about prom. Well, one thing about Taylor is that she often uses the structure of like high school as a metaphor for stuff. No, it's not. I know what you're saying. but like a lot of people when she released um miss uh miss americana yeah yeah no she's talking about i love the high school metaphor she wears short skirts i wear t-shirts like i love it right she's talking about like 30 years ago her problem yeah and this is a nice song about like something she's been through but i don't understand how it fits into the album from like a bigger perspective especially like 12 bops that we were promised not just a stream of consciousness right and that's what this is it's very ttpd yeah it is maybe it was from the cutting room floor of ttpd yeah but this song had no like this song was like only hit like only the best of the best yeah next actually romantic the charlie xcx song yeah charlie xcx posted actually that she's in the studio so it's giving you know diss track coming back and if i was taylor i'd be really scared like yeah because you know charlie xcx invented brat and if you actually look up the definition of brat like the definition of brat is like having loose morals right and you don't want somebody with loose morals writing a diss track about you like that's that's the scariest thing ever um i don't know why taylor wrote a song about charlie xx even though i'm down like i ride for taylor and taylor versus charlie like i do not fuck with charlie there's this coalition emerging against Taylor.

36:59Yes. I feel like, you know, five years ago, there was one that sort of have moved on with their lives. And even though she talks about them all the time, it's like Kim and Scooter and Justin and like everyone's sort of moved on except for Taylor. But that's fine. They don't like, I don't think get together and meet about like how they're going to take her down. No. I think this coalition of Charlie XCX, Maddie Healy. Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish Lord. um so phineas actually reposted a video that somebody posted that taylor's new album feels spiritually israeli like in a derogatory sense um and phineas reposted everything yes our pro palestinian king phineas and i just want to say i fucking hate phineas um yes there's a big group of losers who hate taylor um it's because they're jealous and yes charlie xdx but i do feel like they have a kind of a strong choke hold on culture and it's like not good for taylor in the pop wars i think taylor will emerge and i'm so firmly team taylor of course like them not liking her makes me like her like her more it's all the people i don't like that don't like taylor so i'm good but it is like a group of crazy people because he's like kim and scooter like they're not crazy they're just like you know no the uh intense business people whatever but like those people are crazy radical where's lord because i kind of put her in that group yeah and people were saying that one of taylor's songs sounds like yellow flicker beat from lord does it from hunger games and i feel like if any like a lot of people are saying a lot like i don't think the jonas brothers are going to sue taylor over cool showgirl i think it's cool for them and they're not they don't want to awake the beast but also i don't know if they necessarily have legal grounds to stand on Like sometimes a song sounds like another song and it's completely within the rights of.

38:48And that's what happened with Ed Sheeran versus the estate of Tom Petty. No, Tom Petty. I think there's both. I think we've had the conversation. Right. So sometime. Oh, no, that was sorry. Sam Smith versus Tom Petty. Both. They both won. Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran. Songs can legally sound the same. There are only so many chords to put together. There's eight notes. But like what Olivia Rodrigo did was use a sample of Taylor Swift's New Year's Day. like that chord progression and not credit it. That's illegal. And that's why Taylor gets a cut of Olivia Rodrigo songs. So I have to imagine if anybody could sue Taylor, they would, but Taylor's not that stupid.

39:25Like some songs might sound like other songs, but in a completely legal way. I'm just saying, just look out. I know that's like a big, that's a big issue for Taylor. And that's what a lot of the Taylor haters are saying. Is that like Taylor's the credit queen, right? She like, you know, took the profits from a teenage girl, Olivia Rodrigo. Olivia Rodrigo is not a teenage girl. Everybody needs to stop calling her that. Oh, sorry. I started this whole point by saying, I almost wish Taylor didn't write this song about Charlie XCX because it's so punching down, right? Like Taylor's the biggest star in the world.

39:53Like who is Charlie? I know Charlie X is having a big moment with Brat, but she's not on the same level as Taylor. She will not be remembered for years to come. And now, like Kim is a worthy adversary for Taylor. Charlie XCX is not. And now this song is, I don't know what's going to come out, but I just know she's going to say like the most horrible things about Taylor. Like there's, like that's just, like she said, brat is loose morals. So you're not going to like hold back. Yeah. And it's just crazy that like she's like it's Charlie XS and she's one of the 12. Right. And there's only 12 songs.

40:25Yeah. The 12 just like holds it to a higher standard. I know. And the song is good. It's fine. Except for the wet line. Like really unnecessary. Clean version. Right. Next is wish list. Okay. So this one, like I love the message. I love the beat. There are a lot of cringe lyrics, but like, I don't care. Yeah. I enjoy it. I really like the message. That's what I had said. And so she's having babies. We didn't need dollar signs. No, but I love the message. It's like, you can want different things. Like for, I feel like Taylor was basically saying, I've always been a girl boss, girl boss, girl boss, career, career, career.

41:00And now she's found this love. Like, and she wants to girl boss and settle down. Like she's settling down. She wants a basketball hoop. She's having a crop of kids. Got the whole block looking like you. I love. Love. Yeah. Love. Next, Wood, which is a song about Travis's penis wrapped in double enchantras. It's a two minute and 30 second song. 230 centimeters is nine inches. It's the ninth song. They're saying Travis is a big, juicy nine inch dick. That's what's being said. And then Taylor's out like celebrating the album with her parents. And Donna is going to like release party song parties.

41:34I don't know. I need to look past the lyrics because I want to say vibe wise, melodically, this is the best song on the album. It is so much fun. It does sound like Jackson 5. By the way, the Jackson 5 is amazing. I love that. I don't know what style of music that is, but it's just like happy music. I love this song. And I really listen to it like blindly in the sense that like I know the words, but I'm not listening to them. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't do me any good. I ain't got a knock on wood. Like, yes. Party. Party. Though I don't love the concept of like writing about penis. the fact that I listened to it the first time, it wasn't so overt.

42:14Like it is more like double entendre. Little Breener. I think she's been influenced by the Breener. I know people are saying like, she's trying to be Sabrina. I think you can be influenced by someone. I think that's okay. Yes. But I also think this is like a real life reflection of what's going on in Taylor's life. Like we have to like take stock of all the people Taylor has previously dated. And I just don't think she was like getting kicked down in the way that she is. Like, yeah, it's giving 500 days of summer. Yeah. Yeah. or like i would be surprised a song like this about like joe or maddie they would be like embarrassed whereas travis yes sick like yeah right yes that is the best one and let's be real like she was not writing songs like this at travis about maddie and joe like it just wasn't going down like that like i just know it like i said 500 days of summer yeah oh my god it's literally raving gates on the bachelor i that's what i was thinking to and now and then i realized like oh it must be that must have been a callback to that movie that you're talking about maybe taylor just watched nick vile season is that who it was whose season was yeah maybe he she just re-watched that season of the bachelor and that was her inspiration you i wouldn't be surprised she loves reality tv and these references i just want to say sometimes i know when taylor's influenced by stuff like the song jumping problems is totally influenced by evelyn hugo I really think that Taylor watched recently 500 Days of Summer and she related to like that him walking to work like with such a giddy smile because he finally got laid.

43:40That's what it feels like. She was like dating this like skinny like shorter than her British man who definitely had bad breath. Like no. And now she's with Travis and it's nine inch cock. Like yeah. Yeah. I've got something to think about. And in the I spoke to a Sachi Oshry this morning. Our Taylor Swift RT Loas correspondent because she went to the movie theater yesterday. I watched her review. I spoke to her and she said that she talks about wood in the movie. Just being like, it's a song about superstition. You know, walking on cracks, knocking on wood. I like that. She said that's all it's about.

44:15And I like that we can think that. Yes, agreed. You know, there's a version for the kids and there's a version for the adults. Except like dickmatize. I didn't need that word specifically. Open my thighs. What the lyric is on the clean version. Hypnotize. Beautiful. Beautiful. next canceled okay this song's getting a lot of hate i love the message good thing i like my it's giving reputation i agree and the first time i heard it i said i like elements of this song there are some cringe lyrics i don't know why the title is in caps with an exclamation point when we're not screaming we're right it's actually very sultry we're singing in a sultry manner so that's like just not congruous for me but i like britney mahomes getting a song like well she's one year in people wait a lifetime she's the friend that's canceled i liked them draped in gucci and in scandal when they went to the u.s open they were all wearing gucci and that was like the peak of her friendship with britney mahomes and everybody's like taylor's friends with maga and like everybody was coming for travis and and taylor and like not being appropriate at the u.s open remember like there was so much scandal with that one event i do believe this is about britney Mahomes amongst other things like all of Taylor's friends have like anytime she's spotted with someone it's like well they once went on a podcast like everybody like Taylor's like annoying fans I think that's what it's referencing yeah does nobody else think that I didn't think it was about Britney specifically and I feel like a lot of her friends could wear Gucci and I didn't see that US Open thing as being like Martin scandal matching Gucci she was wearing Reformation travis and they were wearing gucci there was gucci happening but i don't know and also i don't recall that event being like martin scandal so that's not like where my head goes um of course blake lively like does come to mind a couple things one taylor's wearing a blake lively bracelet in the photo shoot it was like a custom by lorraine schwartz but i do think like two people could have the same bracelet no taylor doesn't overlook details like that um like somebody would to put it together i don't know if it's like a nod to like my bestie blake who i ride for or it's like a reference like this was like blake can't come to the phone right now because she's dead and i stole her bracelet oh interesting i don't know but then this song like makes and her putting it out like at the moment where like blake is right canceled and they're not friends like makes me feel like they actually are still friends and when she says um oh a lot of people say father figures it could be about ryan reynolds too like that that ryan like threatened taylor on behalf of blake being like come defend us or like whatever and she's like well my dick's bigger like i can get my subpoena you know and there's also references to flowers in this canceled song which was the big reason my blake was canceled because she was promoting flowers um because she was promoting flowers and also like did you make a joke only a man could like i feel like the way that like blake is being canceled because like you know her diva behavior on set like if a man did those things like right i don't know i just want to say i hope it's about blake like i don't want blake and taylor to not be friends one i think it's an important friendship for taylor but also like if like it just so it makes the whole thing so much worse for blake lively like and i just i actually hope that they're not yeah but that's why there will be a wedding and a bachelorette party and yeah and taylor said on gram norton everyone's invited yeah next honey which you and i both agree is the worst song on the album and i'm glad that we are aligned on that margot ashtray posted like i feel like we're not talking about honey enough i'm like yeah we're not talking about how on purpose that is enough on purpose we're not talking about it yeah and then life of a show girl featuring brina which is like what we were promised the princess who was promised so many people have made references to this song being very similar to the greatest showman um bar scene where Carlisle, Philip Carlisle and PT did me to the, and it's where this like old and new sort of decide to join forces and work together and then eventually pass the baton on to Zac Efron.

48:13And it's so Olivia Rodrigo-Codan. I'm sorry. Like it's literally Taylor's always talking about how the industry is like trying to push her out, push her out, push her out. But the song really says like the Eros tour made me like, I'm married to the hustle now. Like she, no one can ever, there's not like a new Taylor Swift like Taylor Swift's reach a level that nobody else will ever reach but they're always like new new new and it's like her totally like passing the baton on to Briner like she's okay with Briner being like the next Taylor but Taylor's not going anywhere the song is just melodically sonically so good but listen to the lyrics it's so Philip Carlisle coded and that's exactly what happened the greatest showman but like I feel like people really there is no Taylor next Taylor I agree with that and like Taylor's here to stay but like Like there's so many girls who she brings up with her.

48:57Like what about Gracie Abrams? She doesn't get to be a part of this conversation because she's not part of Olivia V's Breener. But like Taylor's done the same thing for her. She's collabed with her on songs. She had her open for her. Like she has gotten as far. Gracie Abrams is not threatening to Taylor Swift's place in music at all. Sabrina is a little and Olivia Rodrigo was. Gracie is a little because of her songwriting abilities. Okay. But you know Gracie's like songwriting abilities are all that girl Audrey Hobart. No, I don't know that because I like, why would I know that? Audrey. Yeah. Do you know the song?

49:30What's that girl's song? I can't remember. Whatever. Like she writes a lot with this girl, Audrey, and then Audrey just released her own album. And it's like literally that's the Gracie Abrams vibe, like the talking, the not breathing singing. It's this girl, Audrey. So I'm just saying, I don't think Gracie Abrams poses a real threat to Taylor's ability, like her passing the baton to Gracie. It's like, no, actually, you actually can't reach. Okay, I'm just saying there are a lot of people who, like, we just go, like, for Brina versus Olivia because it's titillating. Olivia Rodrigo is all over this album.

50:03Like, she just is. But I do think from a songwriting perspective, like, Olivia Rodrigo would be amongst the next Taylor Swift's that we have. Yes, of course. That's why, like. Yeah. Yeah. So that is your Tiloas recap. Oh, and then she announced, like, acoustic. Matt oh my god by the way read the room girl she has to stop doing that yeah it's what people always criticize her for and like there's so much Taylor criticism that's just like I just say you hate her like your reasoning sucks this is so valid and no and she said she kept saying names there's 12 songs and you're not getting any more whereas like when she did Midnight's and then like Midnight's 2am version it's like well we never thought we weren't getting more but so to say that we're not getting more and then we get five more and they're like acoustic mashups with like so many words it's just a lot so here are the the songs that she's releasing life of a song life is a song acoustic version with opalite life is a song acoustic version and ruin the friendship my advice version what dressing room rehearsal version with wishlist settled down acoustic version and the life of a showgirl dressing room rehearsal acoustic version alone in my tower acoustic version with the fate of ophelia alone in my tower acoustic version and eldest daughter now your home acoustic version and um you how can you listen to these songs not even on spotify there are four four limited cd releases each including two acoustic bonus tracks on her site now for 24 hours but if you want all the different versions you need to buy all four cds now this is her way of like gaming you know the charts and making herself the most you know downloaded streamed in cd and i get it like releasing multiple a lot of people release different versions sabrina released like a couple of different covers taylor has now released like four or five vinyls with different covers and there's so much imagery coming out of Taylor's camp like different music videos photo shoots alternative covers every single picture I see is 50 times better than the one she chose for the cover just saying yeah she has already sold like 2.7 million copies on day one of life of a showgirl which is the second best for an album's first week in history and she's on what was the first best number one is Adele's 25 which sold 3.4 million albums and like it even if Taylor happens to sell 3.5 million like it's not as impressive that was three honestly Adele Adele's not doing multiple covers and vinyl signed on her website 4 million people buying Adele's album right with Taylor's 2.7 it's like a million people buying three different versions of it yeah that's that's a very valid criticism of Taylor it's also just like so wasteful oh billy eilish okay no it is i'm not billy eilish don't ever call me that that's like the most insulting thing you can call me i just feel like it's so um stupid yeah like i don't care about like the material waste it's just like oh i'm sorry i wasn't talking about like the recycling of it all like people's money like it's wasteful yeah but people get to choose what they spend their money on no one is forcing you to buy no the shiny bug collection um I just feel like it's so like in your like drinking your own kool-aid like in your own shit like it's just like it's not necessary yeah I agree but um people can do what they want as they please including her if she wants to put out some more vinyls are you ready for our next story yeah at last the weirdest story i've ever shared um ex-jets quarterback mark sanchez acted erratically and body slammed a truck driver before being stabbed in indianapolis cops say we are always talking about mark sanchez i just want to say that like remember during covid um we found out mark sanchez like was a toaster and then i went live on instagram with him like because like whatever no i honestly don't remember that oh you don't remember when i went live on instagram with Mark Sanchez?
