Nothing Will Ever Be The Same Again: Thursday, May 15th, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast and happy thursday that actually i don't know what it feels like but it doesn't feel like i know it's technically like a friday for you it's a friday for me it feels like the last day of camp i'll see you next summer i'm counting the days we've been living 10 months for two and we're gonna be living 10 months for two again it's so true we're breaking i guess it's the last day of school because we are breaking for summer yes so even though it is thursday today is jack's final episode in the studio this week because tomorrow's episode is going to be Ben and I.

0:54It kind of worked out perfectly that the last episode before my maternity leave would be Ben and I. We need to hear from the two of you. Send you off a big farewell. I have a personal matter to attend to tomorrow, so I can't do the toast. But I agree. Like, there's something very full circle about you and Ben saying goodbye, sending off together. Because I'm leaving on maternity. I literally tried to spell maternity, like, on my phone the other day, texting. It's a word that's no longer in my vocabulary because maternity yeah is the current what marion webster needs to update her website the maternity takeover so this is our last episode of pregnant podcasting publicly in person together uh tomorrow you and ben and then we're off next week and then i'll be back with jackson friends after memorial day can you tease one person who's being who's jackson friendzing with you the not the first person no not the first no no i was gonna say the first person but it's not it's just the first person i'm recording oh i was gonna tease i don't know how to tease this but one of the people that I'm recording with you and I have been talking about all morning having nothing to do with the fact that I am recording with her is that yeah oh yeah not us we're gonna find ourselves at the center of a lot of drama maybe over the course of this episode when we talk about the things that interest us you'll understand what we've been talking about all morning just know like this person will be discussed on the toast today and then she also we'll be co-hosting with Jackie next week or the week after next.

2:20Yeah, exactly. So we're making waves. We're kind of at the epicenter of all things pop culture. Nothing new here. Right. So I think that's a really exciting tease. And then I would say the other co-hosts, so interesting. So many people in media, so many different media publications. So many moguls. Two men. Two men. Okay. I know one. Two? You don't know how to mouth. Like, what are you saying? It's three letters oh mogul okay way to give it away yeah two men in media two men in media and then the person that i just discussed it's a four-day week it's a four-day week and then another woman in media in a major way yes wow you kind of have like an amazing setup for your new york week i forgot no i i'm telling you guys i have really cast a wide net i'm so excited to talk to all these folks and it's going to be really great so not to jump the gun and we're going to miss you and we love you and it's maternity yeah no and everyone's going to miss me and they're going to miss me so much yeah you're going to be so missed but you will be so fed vigils will be held in my honor but it's still about you this week and i'm just going to stop talking about what's happening when you're not no i'm thrilled i'm excited for the toasters and all the new guests like that are going to be coming and taking my place and everyone's gonna be like we need more jackson blank you know jackson blank you need more jackson clurd that would also have been a good name for the five weeks without you.

3:43Jackson Blank. Yeah, it's just kind of, it's very open-ended. Yeah, like, I actually love that. You guys can't see, but Rodeo's in the studio today. Do you see him? Make sure, he's not like doing anything bad, right? No, we would hear it. Okay. He's not, you have to trust your boy. I know, but I want him on camera. Oh, he'll make his way. Okay. Make way, make way. The way that I'm on to knew is where you are. Where you are. How are the stories today? We have Summer House Recap, which I almost didn't watch but I watched this morning and I'm glad I did it was kind of a titillating episode and so many people are like flip-flopping sides I was reading the toasters in um like the Facebook group I need to start going to the toast group like I was team Lexi like and now I'm team Jessie now I was team Jessie now I'm team Lexi really I'm feeling more steadfast in my take than ever I know I'm just trying to hold on to the piece of me that likes Jessie at all as a person I left that piece behind this morning yeah no I really and then I saw a clip of him like being caught in a lie on Watch Reppens Live.

4:41I'm like, this person's like a full-blown liar. Damn. Yeah. And we're wearing our new merch. Hope everybody was able to get what they wanted. Jackie and I are wearing two out of the three new t-shirts that we dropped. They are one size. And let me tell you, I have worn them when I was like so skinny. And it looked amazing. And obviously, I'm like a big moose now. And I still look amazing. These shirts are so versatile. You can wear them for any phase of life. They're available at shoptoestmerch.com. In addition to tote bags, hats, phone cases, shoptoestmerch.com. Don't miss it. It's all there.

5:09It's all available. And if it's sold out, it's available for pre-order. So check it out. Check it out. Yeah, I'm glad that we did watch Summer House. We had a successful transfer last night. So I was able to watch my program. Good, good, good, good, good. But then I wanted to watch Watch What Happens Live because I did watch my screener because I watched on my computer. I was too lazy. And I couldn't figure out the hotel TV to get off channel New York 1. So I couldn't watch Watch What Happens Live. New York 1 has a chokehold. Oh, I did watch a Knicks game. That's why I couldn't watch Summer House until this morning.

5:36They lost. Ugh. And it's like the Knicks just need to win one more game. Like just one. And last game, not last night, the one before last, their best player got injured with his Achilles. Like he's out for the season. So it was sort of a layup. But didn't a Celtics player get injured? Isn't a Celtics player out? That's what I said. Oh, you said that. I thought you meant the Knicks. No, like the Knicks were poised to win. Oh, losers. They're coming off of a win. Losers. The best player from the other team. They don't know how to operate as not the underdog. But Ben is so excited because. They're coming back?

6:06They're coming back. and I think I'm gonna go like with him. I think you should go. I think it's kind of crazy to go like nine months pregnant. Well you're a crazy woman. I know. And you love your man. I do. You would do anything for him. I do and I want him to be happy and he was like okay so how much should we spend? He was being so crazy. What's the cap per ticket? Well who are we asking right? He in this situation he is you. Well in most situations he is me. I was like I I was like I don't know oh, like you have to show me, but I'm not spending a lot of money to get a crap seat. Right, you, as much as you don't want to spend a lot of money, you won't sit in a shitty seat.

6:42No, and I was seeing, like a bunch of people I know, like socially were at the game, and they had like, meh seats. And I, like, they were like, we paid like$4 ,000 for our seats. I'm like, I'm not doing that. You're not, you wouldn't go to$4 ,000 per ticket. No, are you fucking crazy? Would you go to$3 ,000? No. Would you go to$2 ,000?

7:01Now, I don't like talking about money, because obviously this sounds crazy. There are people who can't pay their bills, But yes, for Ben, as a gift for like him being really one of the most amazing husbands anyone could be during the course of this pregnancy, like not a nary a complaint. Well, I do have complaints. Except for the golf and like. Except for the golf and like the mess. Cooking food that you don't want. And the smells. But beyond that, yes, I can commit$5 ,000 total to this gift for Ben. But the thing is, we're going to end up not going because the$5 ,000 is not going to get you to see it.

7:31No, that's not going to get you what you want. Timothy was at the game last night solo sitting courtside. at the Celtics at the Celtics game yeah Kylie didn't go to Boston TD Garden I feel like Kylie went back to the beach she's literally Kristen Cavallari back to the beach I also think she went back to the beach or she's just like posting delayed delayed which I think she also does but I think she went to Turks and Caicos like came to New York to be with Timothy for the night and flew right back and went back to Turks and Caicos with Kendall with Kendall I don't know she's kind of all over the place oh to be a jet setter I know to have a jet to set on I hope she comes back we miss her we do New York felt electric it wasn't the same it's been raining ever since she left New York is crying for Kylie it's true maybe she'll come back for the next game I think she had fun yeah okay well you should go yeah I'm thinking about it I'm thinking it through and even though I love watching games on TV it's so fun I love television yeah if any brands I know that you guys have all been really shy about the hookups um if any brands wants more I will ask you to give Turdy a sweet.

8:34Yeah, fuck the Brunson boys. Maybe they didn't want to do it because like who are these nobodies? But for Turdy. Makes sense. The queen. The queen is coming. Cup down. Cup down. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um, okay, what else can I tell you? So last Jackson Claude before we go, like the show will never be this way again because Turdy, you will change. This is the last time we will podcast together as sisters, remote or otherwise, where only one of us is a mother. Yeah. And how does that make you feel? You feel like I'm encouraging a little bit on your mama space? Not at all. I'm excited for you to be here because then we get to talk about those sorts of things more, which I love, you know, but it's like, I can only like sneak it in here and there when you're not interested.

9:19It's not like, it just doesn't work that way. So I'm excited to dive more into that space with you and to hear your takes on it. I think everybody is so excited to hear your takes on it. Yeah, I feel like I'm definitely thinking through a lot now, like what my digital footprint, my identity is going to look like as like a content creator, podcaster, comedian, influencer, who's now a mom. Obviously, like it can take over your whole being. And I'm not really like wanting to do that. I think sometimes like you can't control it, right? And I feel like I've talked about like other people who I think do a good job of like balancing both.

9:52Like I don't want, I don't want to be like, like everybody's like, oh, all she does is talk about like being a mom. But I also don't want to be the one person that's like, why don't you ever talk about being a mom, you know? it's like a balance obviously women are so critical of other women so i'm looking forward to everybody critiquing me for like how i embrace this new era of my life um i don't have a chip on my shoulder about it or anything but we'll see we'll see how it goes i think you should just let nature take its course don't overthink it i think it will come really natural to you whatever the path is yeah you know what i mean i don't think you have to make a plan i think should i pack a snack well always always that's kind of the cornerstone of motherhood yeah and you're probably going to be hungry but I think it will be a natural next step for you I do and you shouldn't you shouldn't worry so no no no I feel like also at this stage of pregnancy like you're so bored like all you do is worry about things that are like are not real issues yeah like I'm I was so worried about my junk drawer I don't know if you saw that kind of like re I organized my junk drawer which was a big moment in my house um and the way that like that junk drawer weighed on me for like a week you know you just like you have nothing to do but just like worry about stuff I understand and when you're pregnant without other kids yeah yeah yeah obviously when you're pregnant like with a toddler like you're no i know i like brought out my keyboard from the cellar and started to practicing piano in my last few weeks you did yeah it was so bored i wasn't leaving the house also because of covid uh-huh and um that's funny when you said keyboard i thought like a dell computer keyboard no i brought my piano keyboard i got it for zach for his birthday years like when we started dating and i was watching so much tv in my pregnancy and like I couldn't watch anymore like I was sick of everything sick of laying there I was like I want to use my brain now so I brought up the keyboard I'm dying I learned arabesque okay yeah I got some coloring books that was good that was when I wrote the first draft of Camber and counselor oh that's a beautiful full circle story Jax right yeah it's available on Amazon now I wrote the first draft when I was in my final weeks of pregnancy maybe a children's book is waiting to pour out of you this week.

11:48I already have one. It goes like this. There once was a girl named Turdy. I thought you were going to say. She was really flirty. I thought you were going to say it's the first day of camp. My bags are tightly packed. I would have except I could not remember how the book started. Thank you. It's the first day of camp. My bags are tightly packed. My duffel trunk and pillow are all neatly stacked. We bump and we bend up curves bends and hills. The winding camp roads gives me goosebumps and chills. No the fact that people continue to write cheer uh children's books when the best one ever has already been written like seriously lay down your pencils it's so it's not necessary we've got this it's so true and if there are any toasters out there who don't know that claudia and i are sisters were sisters um and daisy jones and the six ends with her um after everyone's died getting back together with him and i wrote a children's book and it's loosely based off of our own life the main character is inspired by it's a biography it's autobiographical semi it's semi-autobiographical and the main character is um based loosely off of one of jackie's sisters who is not me which is low-key one of the most disgusting parts but we'll just like yeah because i know that the sequel is about a camper named trudy yeah it's such a cute name for a little like and the camper's obviously like chubby like trudy she's just like coming in and she's coming in second summer and so it's a different dynamic Right.

13:12How will things shake out? Our camper is always there. Right. To be a supportive friend. And the camper and the counselor, in the book, the counselor's name is Counselor Snitch. What is the camper's name? It's a great mystery. Oh, she's nameless. She's nameless in the book, but I know her name. Because she, well, I like that she's nameless because she kind of represents all women. She's all of us. Yeah, but you know her name. Are you going to share it? Maybe in a future book. Oh, Secrets Revealed. But I think you guys could guess her name. Jackie? is it jackie she has red hair it's jacks yeah okay it's jacks and trudy jacks and trudy trudy and jacks they're a great duo in the kids space correct kind of picking up where max and ruby left off that's like a little bit of the plot of the sequel i don't want to give too much away it has not been written yet maybe towards the end of this pregnancy inspiration will strike The rest is still unwritten.

14:09Hot take, I'm so fucking over that song. No, she can do no wrong, Natasha. I didn't say I was over Natasha. I said I was over the song. This song can never be bad. The second wave of younger people finding it and older people reliving. I've hated every minute of it, and I want the song to be done. Every time I hear it in an organic way, like if it came on my shuffle or something, I'm thrilled to hear it. For me, maybe it's a constant reminder that not us, but society, excluding us, let Natasha Bedingfield down. And they like forced her to just keep performing this same old song as if she doesn't have other music that is so unbelievable.

14:45They told me, girl, to get your way. You gotta be a bitch. Nah. They say the guy won't get the girl if he's not filthy rich. You stop with little changes till you don't know who you are. Surround yourself with friends who only call you a superstar. Oh, yeah. Those bitches will never know. What's that album called? Recovery. we will recover like but i just want to circle back to when i hear unwritten i think of just the the lost potential but i want to circle back to something that you said in your diatribe which was that it was not us no it was not us we are responsible for all the streams you guys didn't no okay you guys didn't i we are excluded from that narrative but you know else is excluded from that narrative i wonder if you're gonna know what i say like supporting Natasha Bedingfield's other work outside of Unwritten.

15:40You're not going to know. No, I am. It's like a niche me reference. I am, I am. Yeah, it's a person whose name we don't know. What do you mean? My favorite movie of all time. Like, do you know what I want to say? Not the other woman. No, close though. Something Borrowed. And they used the song. They end the film. Like, finally, she steals her, spoiler alert, she steals her best friend's man. She's picking up his dry cleaning. Like, her and the friend are never going to be okay, but she got the guy and she don't give a fuck you know um and she's picking up a dry cleaning it's like a perfect day in new york and they're walking away and it's like i have to keep reminding myself i'm not like anyone else so the person who scored something borrowed jacks and claude are not responsible for holding natasha beddingfield back from reaching her fullest potential but now she's out here just like making tiktoks to the same song and it's ashamed of yourselves you should be ashamed also like if you want to knock on her songs that are overplayed like i would go more Pocket Full of Sunshine.

16:33I would not. I think Unwritten is pargelicious no matter how many times I hear it. Pocket Full of Sunshine is more annoying. Agree to disagree. You like Pocket Full of Sunshine more than Unwritten? It doesn't attack me. I actually didn't, when you were saying her other songs, I'm like, what song is she talking about? I literally forgot about Pocket Full of Sunshine. You're thinking of it from the movie. Weezy A. No, no, no. Actually, no. I just feel like when I see that on TikTok or on Reels, scroll, scroll. I never see it. If I, and also, So someone did like a couple remixes of Unwritten? Yeah.

17:04No, they've been. With Unreels? They're resuscitating Unwritten. I'm here for it. I'm over it. And that's the kind of duality and complexity you can come to expect from the Toast podcast. But maybe when you're changed, the next time we podcast together on the Toast, we'll agree on that. Maybe. Maybe. Because you're going to be so changed. So changed. She's changed for the better. First smile that's never. Today's a Toast Tunes kind of day. I mean, we have to get it all out now, even though we are recording a Patreon after this, so it's technically not our last episode together. It's true. Oh, and next week there's Patreon episodes every day.

17:38Every day. So if you're missing your girls, head over to patreon.com slash the toast because we've been working overtime to keep you fed. Yeah. And keep you satiated. Yeah, so it's Jackson Claude every episode. So like if you're a Patreon member for the next two, three months, like you're completely fine. You're completely fine. Like every time you're missing us, there will be a Patreon for you. And we've been like putting in work overtime to make sure that the scheduled content gets released. So that's patreon.com slash a toast. But this is our last pre-fast five banter where we're so different from one another and we are the people that we are because I'm also going to expand my role as an auntie and I don't know how that's going to change me.

18:12Oh, let me lock my iPad. I'm so glad you brought that up. I haven't been a new auntie in two and a half years. Well, I did want to talk about that because obviously everyone knows like when you look up auntie in the Webster's dictionary, like my face is there. I've been like one of the most committed, devoted, and really hardworking aunties this world has ever seen. And I just want to say before I had kids, I was the number one auntie. And so that era of my life, I don't know if you've talked to your kids about it, like is going to change. Auntie Coaches is not going to be the Coaches that you know.

18:43Right, which is why I've been like making plans. Like I took the kids swimming. Like I just want them to know like auntie's leaving and she's coming back, but not in the way that they've grown accustomed to. And do you think that will be a difficult adjustment for all my nibblings? Well, here's the beautiful thing about the circle of life. Because while they are losing a bit of their auntie, they are gaining a cousin. Yeah. And like, it's like, I don't think Mikayla even noticed that I was slipping. That I was slipping because I gave her a cousin. You gave her a friend, yeah. And that was even better than what I was doing.

19:20So I think they're going to be so excited about the new addition that they're not even going to notice that Koges hasn't slept. I don't know. Koges is tired. I think Koges' like presence is so almighty. Like, yes, I'm giving them a cousin, sure. But like, I don't know. I think that they'll, like, if you notice any behavioral issues or any differences in their moods or scheduling, like, I would say, like, there's a major change happening in their life. Auntie Koges is kind of taking a step back. Well, I would say for Charlie, it's going to be the biggest change for him because he won't be the baby anymore.

19:52But he had the longest run as the baby. Yeah, chasing after those kids. So I'm excited for him that he doesn't have to, like, that he's not the youngest anymore. But, like, I think he loves being the baby. Well, you know, it's interesting how people act when they're on bottom and then they're on top. Do you think Charlie will be a benevolent leader? I think so. Me too. I think so. He's seen a lot in his time. You don't think he'll be like a Sheena Marie Shea, like, finally gets accepted to the cool crew and, like, turns on the ones that brought him there? No, Charlie has seen a lot. He's seen a lot of different ways of it being done.

20:22And I think he knows what he wants to model. And I think that's good boy behavior. Got it. So not Charlie Shea. No, he'll be modeling good boy behavior. Trust me. GBB. If not, come tell his mama. Oh, you know I will. No, but they're going to be so excited. No, it's so exciting. Just, you know, I'm like being annoyingly like, this is my last, you know, like. I feel like if we don't, it's weird. No, no, not even with the podcast, like at home too. I'm like, Ben, like this is our like last whatever. I'm like. Taco Tuesday. right I'm being so dramatic even though like I low-key still have time left like I need to chill you might have another taco Tuesday most likely even though taco Tuesdays really do give me really bad acid reflux so I actually can't um but I'm just being so dramatic I'm like do you think this is our last time in the car like now we'll be driving to the hospital like I'm really being so like commemorative I feel like if we aren't commemorative on this episode like it will be weird and it will pass us by and we'll be like oh my god that was kind of like a major one and yeah everyone else is gonna be like oh my god last Jackson Cloud and like I feel like we really need to be present in this moment even though that's so not like us sounds like you're saying we need to acknowledge the space that we're in we do need to acknowledge the space that we're in consider it acknowledged and like do a little manifestation of the manifest okay you know what i mean i have a really hard time like being present present i don't think manifest is the right word no no it's not but i do think manifesting more would help me be more present Oh, perhaps if you started, that was like a practice in your everyday life.

21:53Because it's like I'm saying all these things about how it's the last one, but like. Are you living that? No, she's not. It's just any other day. She's so inauthentic. No, I'm trying. Like, I feel like if you speak it, you will be it. Okay. So it's better than not commemorating anything. Do you feel like it's the last one? I can tell you recently hung out with Lauren Bostick. Oh, my God. Well, thanks for spoiling my guest. Oh. It's fine. Wait. Yeah. is she your guest for when who knows okay sorry my bad but that's not who we were talking about at the beginning of the show um yes i've been hanging out with lauren bostic um okay once once yeah but we text too okay um and we're both not big texters so it's like it's all the radiation the fact that we like do it for each other right right you take that risk that's really sweet we take that that's huge huge but yeah I'm trying to be present like I don't know what more to tell you and I feel like you're not present but you're not trying to be more so it's not an issue right if I knew what on earth we were talking about like I would be able to respond to that heinous accusation of me not being present I don't know I just feel like it's like when like we should be so much more like aware that it's the last right but I don't feel it in my bones I'm just like I know it in my head like I seriously I can't follow this conversation correct okay fine you got me I'm not present does it feel like the last you like do you really feel it's not my last I have to work tomorrow is it last with you no because there's something about podcasting in person especially in this new studio like this isn't real I and I know these episodes have actually been performing so well like numbers wise people love when we're together um i feel like every day three people are listening i'm like i don't even like these episodes feel fake every time we put out our regular episode it's like oh my god everyone's gonna listen and critique and it's like very high stakes these feel like we're cosplaying podcasters i don't know why in our room like like giggling yeah making videos on facebook in the box to go to legacy box one day i agree so that's why i'm just like maybe that's why i'm feeling present well your presence is a gift true always eternally one that we will miss oh yeah she's kicking me out already because if we're being present in this moment it is our last episode together and can I tell you something that I find really exciting about maternity leave like obviously I'm gonna miss everyone so much but as like the nosiest bitch alive what I loved about your maternity leaves is that I invited all these people to come co-host and they are people with successful YouTube channels successful podcasts successful businesses and like everybody online like makes themselves seem so big deal big deal I'm so famous I have so many fans followers and it's interesting to see who comes on the podcast like increases numbers you know who actually like has fans not just like followers um and so like I was nosy and like literally one of my favorite activities was like tallying up the numbers at the end of the week and I feel like I said before who crushed it but like honestly Shannon Shannon brings brings peeps brings peeps and then you would have someone who was like a huge podcast and you're like oh maybe that's a huge because everyone's on vacation right um so it's like a fun like if you're a nosy curious person like me well that will be there for you to run the data on the various media moguls yeah no when i have like a nap break i'll be running the data yeah you can find me in our analytics department it's really not that hard but yeah yeah yeah so now without further ado are you ready to wrap up the final fast five of jackson claude as we are I am.

25:22Jackson Claude as we are. Without further ado, ado, ado, ado, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that You Need to Know.

The wait for more episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is over. The new season is now streaming on Hulu. And I just want to say thank you to Hulu for giving us all the episodes. Like not making us wait, not inventing binge culture and then taking it away from us. Like we are really grateful.

25:54And there are so many things about the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives production that they nail, right? Like they turn it around really quickly. And another thing is that they're giving us all the episodes and that just can't be understated. So we're finally finding out what's going on with all of our favorite come ye saints, come ye sinners, hallelujah. So our Taylor and Dakota still together. Our Jen and Zach still dealing with the turnt aftermath of their trip to Vegas? Will Whitney be let back into the group? And most importantly, will MomTalk survive this?

26:24I cannot wait to binge. It's going to be pure insanity. So make sure to watch the all new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, now streaming on Hulu. It's also such an easy show to watch. So if you haven't seen the first season, I think there's 10 episodes in the first season too. They catch you up on all the MomTalk drama if you weren't following it on social media at the time. So it's like a really easy catch up. And I feel like they're making so much news now. They're going on all these podcasts. I saw like so much drama. So if you want to be included and feel a part of something, head over to Hulu and watch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives now.

Our first story, two couples who we talk about at length on the toast have reportedly allegedly come together and joined forces. As a foursome? As a support system. Prince Harry and Meghan's secret mansion summit with Brooklyn and Nicola to share trauma of toxic family feuds. Okay, this does sound like a made-up British tabloid story, but let's pretend.

30:23It's in the sun, so could be that. Correct, okay. But apparently Prince Harry and Meghan are secretly supporting Brooklyn and Nicola amid their family row and had them over for dinner last week. The foursome dined at the Sussexes in Montecito just days after Brooklyn skipped his dad's 50th birthday. A source familiar with the event said Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both. Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar. Okay, so the headline was a little misleading. sounded like they took like a trip to a castle and like so they had dinner together and you know what i actually think that's entirely possible especially because like i could see because we know david is like a huge monarchist he literally was like one of those people who waited in line for seven hours to touch the queen's casket i guess they like leave the casket out in some yeah like as a rando not even as a he didn't use his special treatment and he cried he was like taking pictures with people so he obviously is like team royal and so i could see as like an extra knife to like his family him and Nicola having dinner with like Harry and Megan who are like these you know royal outsiders 1000 percent I just want to say if this is true and we have to like operate as if it is for the sake of conversation this is the worst idea I've ever heard for Brooklyn and Nicola like to go to like be on the outs with your family and then go seek advice from people who actually like burned theirs to the ground like do not be like these people no Maybe that's what they, like maybe they're looking to go no contact.

31:47No, no, no. Which a lot of people do. Stop it. Turn around. Which is what a lot of people do with like in-laws they deem to be toxic. No. And Harry and Meghan have sort of paved the way. I'm sorry. Plenty of people have in-laws they deem to be toxic and they don't take it to the level that Harry and Meghan did. No, no, of course not. But it is like a popular thing now. It's like more like TikTok. I know you don't know. But it's like if something in your life, like a person in your life doesn't serve you, we're going no contact, right? That's fine. I'm fine with no contact. what Harry and Meghan did was not no contact it was a lot of contact it was a lot of a lot I thought the story you were going to talk about is that they went to another concert it was going to be my next part like be because them going to another concert like isn't headline news except that he was wearing a hat and we'll get to it but I just need to say to Brooklyn and Nicola like you're hanging out with the wrong people like you should either be just taking a break from your family that's fine they're toxic and narcissistic allegedly so yeah you want a break but like to go get seek advice from these two this is what they are what not to do they are how not to break from your family I'm in agreement there is a way to like obviously I'm always on the side of like we have to make things work family is family sometimes you get to a point where like you can't with a certain family member um and so Harry and Meghan obviously got to that point and I think the way they did it was not the best and so if if Brooklyn and Nicola are looking to go no contact with the Beckhams which would make me so upset like that's not what I want I don't know if like they're being you know led by the greatest of leaders they can go no contact i i would endorse that because it's not working and they really tried they they for the last year they support they were at everything like i can say they really gave it their all and if you want to take a break from them and not speak to them that's fine with me don't do what those two did and do not take advice from them or it's just like fancy british people having dinner why would nicola she's like so gorgeous so young you know so why does she want to go eat dinner with some 40 year olds and their kids yeah they are like in complete different life stages different ages i don't know how these four would get together might be interested in having dinner with harry like he's a prince of the country a bunch of expats yeah but i'm sorry nicola like what is she doing there correct i'm sorry i think this is really a horrible idea and i hope it's false but i also if it is false i just want to give credit to the person who made it up it's funny because it's fucking historical well they did also go to a concert they saw james taylor which um is like seriously ben's favorite artist i've seen fire and i've seen rain what a versatile um taste in music they have like i wonder if like we know megan loves beyonce maybe harry loves james taylor like because like i don't know anybody who's like a big james taylor and beyonce fan they're entirely different generations and genres no i feel like that's the bridge that they like straddle in their age bracket i don't know why i'm making them to seem so old today yeah but they are like you know adults yeah you have like 40s taste and some of it is like the young cool stuff and also like megan is a friend of beyonce's yes i think megan loves being famous and i that's a part of her like i actually really relate to in the same way how she had to like tell everyone in her caption like thanks beyonce and team for having us like she wants everyone to like bitch i'm famous I'm connected I can get seats at whatever if you know events you can't get seats at so I actually really relate to her in that way um I don't know if James Taylor tickets are particularly hard to come by or backstage passes I'm sure he was thrilled to meet them but obviously the headline here is the fact that Harry's at another concert wearing another hat now and not only is it like obviously pointing to some sort of hair situation he also has bad taste in hats this one's like a real emo beanie that I feel like the men on the hills used to wear you know well I don't like his outfit either like if we're just criticizing his style I don't like him if we're just criticizing his persona it's not as if the hat ruins an otherwise fab outfit so I think all together it works because it's a bunch of weird stuff put together I mean well the thing is with hair plugs when your situation was so dire for so many years like we're gonna know so you don't like I know that when you get hair plugs or I don't know what the right word is these days a transplant for the first couple of weeks you have like sprouts on your forehead it's like buzz well yes but you also like it's a little bloody and it's like it's so obvious so you you do have to cover it up if you leave the house so it could be that he's in the covering up stage I don't know why they insist on doing public events I leave the house because they never leave the house pictures they we never they never post pictures yeah but also like if he were to come out and have a full head of hair in six months like that would be like me coming out with red hair like it's obviously a change so well maybe he'll come out and he'll be open about his struggles that's kind of his mo i think that would be like one of the best things he could possibly do for himself and his brand would you give him a chance yes if he said like i've been struggling with hair loss and we know even started like a a hair loss platform like how he's very big in the mental health space like a Rogaine or you mean like a better help like a yeah like a telehealth for hair health oh he's totally an investor in like hymns because you know that company like you can get like Rogaine or minoxidil telehealth for hair health that's actually I think it's actually a good idea he would be a great spokesperson because obviously he walks the walk and the mental health space is so crowded at this point and I think his company can't even play her employees wait did you see um what you just reminded me it's kind of how like oh we talked about it on the toast how Amy Schumer is an investor in that telehealth company that helps women with like weight loss drugs and she was like I had the best experience I invested in this company and yeah I'm on Manjaro obsessed and it's like an endorsement for the telehealth company that's definitely a possibility and that would actually be a good business move for Harry so here's the I don't think it's what's happening I don't think it's a possibility but I think it's what should happen and maybe even if he went to Turkey and he had no plans of being open about it maybe this will reach him and just let him know like I think there's money here and I like how saying like going to Turkey is obviously it's now code for like getting hair transplants and I think if you have unlimited resources you don't do it outside you don't need to go to Turkey like Turkey is just for like regular folk who want access to like really top tier medical care at a much more affordable price but like there are amazing people in the states they're just incredibly pricey I think I've not heard of them I don't think Harry would need to go to Turkey like I know a couple of people who've gotten hair plugs like wealthy men and they did in america that you know that yeah okay you do who um hit me with the okay

38:16no i'll just text it to you okay it's just to just and not to be annoying like it is juicy Is it a famous person? A little bit. Okay. Oh, that's juicy. And then this one.

38:32Juicy. And they were all done in America. Wow. Stateside plug. Okay, so he didn't have to go to Turkey. That's also good. That's what I'm saying. You don't actually have to travel unless you're just looking for a deal. A good hair plug at a good price. Right, because what you get for the price in Turkey, you would seriously have to go to Mexico for here and like get risk infection you know like one of those turn yeah they do a nice job there and the medical care is like so luxurious they like the cost of your procedure includes your flights includes like luxury recovery suites hotels for your family like it's really I watched Darcy and Stacey I know you don't know who that is it's a TLC show um and they went to Turkey to get like completely new faces and they took us on the journey so I know a lot about Turkey got it i saw a girl once go to turkey for medical care for like a no job no she just like wanted to run all those expensive tests on herself oh a medical workup yeah yeah a medical workup also they're i think known for their teeth as well are you ready for our next story rihanna will release her first song in three years for the smurf soundtrack so rihanna shared the news along with a trailer for the film on wednesday which also features snippets of the song but her new song is called friend of mine it will drop tomorrow as part of the soundtrack for the smurfs movie which is starring john goodman james corden nick oferman and sandra oh i think a lot of people like weren't expecting this um finally getting music from rihanna and i just seen this all before we panic to remember some of the best songs ever made have come from the troll soundtrack i got that sunshine in my pocket got that good song in my feet we hate justin timberlake but we love that song also it's broken and it's beautiful by kelly clarkson well that's and that's just trolls every animated movie worth its salt these days has an original song that's fucking popping oscar worthy i think i'm not worried for one second the fact that actually this is for the smurfs i think i might like it more than if she was just like dropping a song rogue single yeah it's called friend of mine i think the vibes are gonna be good the message is gonna be good and that's like the cool thing about being a billionaire like not from music like from her own business is like with the music she can do make choices that feel right to her obviously she's in like her mom era yeah her kids are gonna want to watch this and that's mom's song yeah how cute yeah and it's like maybe they weren't listening to her and but they only listen to the smurfs and so she's gonna get inside the tv and be like clean your room it's literally josie and the pussycats a little messaging in the music it is i love celebrities who become parents and then give back to the community with pargy content like fallout boy doing the spidey soundtrack like it's just really fun for everyone it's really crazy because it's like 10 years in the making waiting for a rihanna song um i have no doubt that it's going to be good one because it's rihanna and two like something about the troll soundtrack in particular like why do you keep saying trolls is it not trolls no it's smurfs well that's why i keep saying okay i thought you just said it once to like just say that Trolls has good music.
