The Introverted Music Producer: Wednesday, January 15th, 2025

0:00Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the Toast and happy Wednesday. That's right, it's hump day. It is the day of the hump. This week is just crawling by, don't you find? On Toast Tunes, we definitely need like a hump day song. Like, don't forget to hump someone you love. Like, it's kind of like a dance beat. Don't forget to hump someone you love. Don't forget to hump someone you love. You know, then we'll work on it, but just add it to the list. I mean, add it to the list of Toast Tunes. Do we even want to go there? because then we'll be sat doing this for 30 minutes and we don't have studio time booked and I'll be feeling inspired.

0:36No. But that, Claudia, I think I should add it. Ever since the fucking good guys, we haven't even talked about this. I think I should add it to my manifest list of goals. It's really my goal list. It's not manifest. It's not manifest. It's projects we need to tackle and just stop talking about. I'm making it goals, okay? We need to release some music. Now, the fact that the fucking good guys went ahead and wrote, recorded, and released a song already for their podcast. If you guys haven't listened to like the 2025 episodes of the Good Guys podcast. We love you for that. We love you for that. At the end of last year, Josh had written and like recorded this jingle and it's so good.

1:15It is really good. Basically intro all their episodes. Two Jews, both big and tall. No subject too small for the good guys. A mother's dream premium podcast team. Make it your weekly routine. it's the good guys and if you don't give us five stars what are you nuts what are you nuts yeah we're the good guys no not the great guys we're just the good good good guys whoa hey guys welcome back to good guys like i'm so jealous i literally texted josh i'm like when is it an appropriate amount of time for me to wait for you to ask for me to ask to to write one for us like i want one well the good news is for toast tunes this is two separate conversations like we need a theme song and a jingle that plays at the beginning of every episode it's crazy how we just raw dog these episodes where people are like have elevator music it's really welcoming you into this show

2:15yeah and then theo von has like a song it's so good like why does it where are people getting these songs even if you don't have an original song like everyone has some lovely royalty-free music that plays between the ad breaks in the beginning of the show just like a little buffer and we raw dog it well people have a whole week to release their episodes we have literally three hours to get the shit up just had a clip you could just like we you know not gonna put us on the spot but don't just like it just like we clip in gmm we pre-recorded good morning millennials a while ago it hasn't been live in a while it's two seconds to put it in if we had a little music but by the way that's a separate project just to say to have music for our show toast tunes would be an album that would encompass a lot of the songs the original songs that we write live here on the show and it would also be great for you to listen to with your children wait I have such a good idea we need to it would also be like a comedy album so we could get nominated for a Grammy the thing that I think is more important and that like actually is feasible is getting a jingle made for the podcast I have an idea I have an idea we should have a contest because like if we could do it we would have like we can't so I feel like we have a lot of like musically inclined toasters and the thing I like about the good guys ones is like not only is it musically very catchy and stuff but it has like jokes from their podcast like what are you nuts and like I just need someone to do that for us so like seriously if you want to make a video post it on like tiktok or reels tag jackie or i if we if it's if someone makes a good one I will pay you five thousand dollars for it that's what I would pay for like by the way you don't have to put some people don't want to post something on tiktok or reels like you can email it to us too and also jackie jackie part of this campaign and how I can justify the five thousand dollars is the press we would get like from the engagement i'm sorry the engagement people do this all the time on social media i saw you know james charles did something like it like we i'm sorry you have to put it on social media if you want to be who might be best for the job might be a private person who like isn't posting so you could also submit you can post a private voice memo you can make a private voice memo and just they can't submit via email it has to be a social media campaign i'm telling you and then everyone gets to get involved and it's really fun i've seen it go like really like very viral for certain people like james charles for like his company had like i forget what it was people do it all the time and it's actually really smart so if you are musically inclined and you want to write like a 30 to 60 second jingle for the toast to be our theme song our theme song for the beginning of the show you can record a video of yourself like playing on the guitar or the piano we will have it produced and everything but we just are looking for somebody whose song we can purchase from you you will win five thousand dollars we will of course we'll get in the studio that part's easy okay it's actually having like the song written once we have the song like i I could get us in the studio by tomorrow, Jax.

4:47Do you know the influence I have in the music community? We're in a studio. Yeah, but I mean like a music studio. No, but that's why I'm saying if someone emailed an audio track that was like ready to go. No, but it can't be ready to go. It has to be our voices. Does it? Yeah, of course. No, no. Okay, Jackie, you're like so making this more confusing than it needs to be. But what if someone's shy? You're not thinking about the introverts. The introverted music producers. The introverts, this one's not for you, okay? Wow. The introverted music producers. Okay. You're not being inclusive. I'm sorry.

5:18I'm not. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I'm not. You're centering yourself and the only thing of yourself type of person. Yes. Correct. So if you want to get involved, you can post on TikTok or Reels. You just have to tag. Oh, thanks for throwing Reels in. Yeah. I want to be inclusive. Tag the toast. Tag Jackie or I so we can see it. Should we have a hashtag so we can like sort of find all the places? Hashtag Toast Tunes Challenge. No. Too long. And Toast Tunes is a separate project. Toast theme song. Okay. Hashtag toast theme song. And by the way, I will pass away if nobody submits. Well, that's what's going to happen, isn't it?

5:57Because, yeah, that's what's going to happen. Like, I will die, not me being like James Charles did it. Yeah, like he has like 10 million followers. Seriously, just to save like my reputation, somebody please. It's also like a tall task. This could take this person a bit of time. Yes, yes. And they also have to get camera ready. So let's give it a few days. And what had you said? let's back to the cash prize yeah the cash prize well we would have to pay someone to write a song for us anyways i'd rather like give it to a toaster so if you write a song that's good enough for us to choose the winning song when wins five thousand dollars that five thousand dollars also comes with the contract where like we own the song like we're buying it from you but yeah it's a prize and it's also a fee like for your work yeah five thousand dollars i think that's like a fair price i think that's a really good price yeah that's fun and so if you're an introvert but maybe$5 ,000 extroverts you.

6:46Like that's perhaps the motivation you need. Okay, but like say you're an introvert and you never really post on your social media and your friends and family follow you and all of a sudden like you post a video. Make a new account. Of yourself. Oh, you can make a new account but you post a video like singing this song. Like Jackie, I'm sorry, it's$5 ,000. You have to work a little hard for it. And what if you don't win? Well, you can always delete the video, don't worry. I'm thinking of you guys out there. If you're introverted, just know I tried. Just know this one's not for you. Hashtag toast theme song.

7:16Tag the toast. Tag Jackie or I. It doesn't need to be fully produced. I mean, if you want to like make a fancy video to stand out, of course, you know, do you. But it's time. Like I'm so jealous of the good guys. Their song is so good. It is really good. And, you know, it would be nice to really segue people into the show. Get them in the mood for a little toast. And just in terms of like, you know, if you're looking for a little bit of inspo, It definitely needs to be like an upbeat, like kind of dance tune. I would say chef's choice. Yeah. Okay. You're right. You guys know us. Extrovert's choice.

7:51Extrovert's choice. Even though I think that this is, I feel like music producers are very introverted, you know, like Matthew Coma. The thing is, it's like literally not my problem. Do you know what I mean? No, no. I know it's not. I'm just saying at the end of the day, we want the best song, right? Best song wins. We do. We do. Best song wins. So, you know. Raise your voice. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Yeah. And just please submit anything. Please. So the hashtag is toast theme song. Just something. I am going, you know what I'm going to do? I am preemptively. Going to follow the hashtag.

8:25Pathetically going to follow the hashtag on Instagram. And by the way, when we post on Instagram today, we have to just use the hashtag just so it's not empty. I'll be using the hashtag on everything. I'm going to put it on all my old videos.

8:39Oh my God, I'm fucking crying. That's funny. No results found for Toast theme song right now, which is good. It will be ours. Is it? Yeah. Unfortunately. For better or for worse. Oh my God, funny. Okay, I'm excited about that. Hashtag Toast theme song. A little social media challenge. Just kick off the hump day. Who am I, Ben? What's next? A giveaway? Oh, maybe. That's it. Okay, I have to tell you the funniest thing. Does my hair look amazing? I got a blowout yesterday. Yes, yes. So I just sort of treated myself to an in-home blowout with my hairstylist who I haven't seen in months. Like I literally, I do my own hair and like I just don't go anywhere.

9:17So I haven't seen him in so long. And he comes in and he's like Latin. So I'm going to do an accent and it's important because it's like a funny thing. Like I'm doing the accent for the story, okay? Just don't be offended. He's giving me such weird looks. He's like looking at my body and I'm like, excuse me? He's like, girl, you get implants? I'm like excuse me no I'm pregnant he was like what he had no idea how did he have no idea I don't know I'm like are you not following me on Instagram I haven't seen him in so long but like still he was like you have implants and I'm like no but I guess it's like kind of a good thing like that like my body's changed so much I haven't seen you since you know probably my snatchest and you your major takeaway was that I got implants right because like if it was waking he would have said so he would have been like of course he would yeah no because i've been with him he would have said girl you're pregnant yeah literally i just about died and like i was wearing like a particularly unsupportive bra like i was in my pajamas so i was looking like a little crazy i guess i could see how he thought that yeah but i guess that's like it was ben was like you should take that as a compliment like someone who hasn't seen you in months that's what they you think?

10:28Yeah. Pop off. Really pop off. Yeah. With your implants. But implants? I'm like, yeah. That's what I'll start telling people. Or just the truth, which is a beautiful, wonderful thing. Oh, yeah. Right. Right. I don't know why I'm acting like I have something to hide. Right. Well, I am, you know, I don't want to set a bad example for other teenagers because teenage pregnancy can be really, really hard. It can be. I'm getting through it. Yeah. It could be a beautiful thing of course of course but it's not you know always the best path for everyone yeah and that's what me and my other teen moms believe

11:08what's with you not too much we actually have such good stories today that i don't want to hasten us but they're really good let's do it no no i feel like we need like another moment and also let everyone know we have great stories and then real housewives of beverly hills recap wrap today. Such a good episode. Which was such a good episode. I have so many thoughts. So do I. And it's like the thing with this season and these women is like, I can't get comfortable in my like Stan hood or my hatred because you know, the second I start disliking someone like Sutton, she like goes and like speaks the truth.

11:39The thing is when she speaks the truth on like someone you dislike, you're into Sutton. But then sometimes she gets like a little full of herself emboldened, if you will. And she speaks the truth on like other things. And it's like, stop. No. And it's like, why are you, even though it's the truth, it's like, why do we need to say that why is that objection you're hurting someone yeah right and same like with garcelle who has really just been on my my non-faves lifts with dorita on my faves because they like seriously they're not even beefing they just dislike they don't even see each other right um but she was given some some factual opinions and and holding like kyle to account and i I appreciated that.

12:19So it was a very interesting episode. We'll get into it. Yeah, Kyle has like kind of no one in this group. So she's like sort of latched herself onto Garcelle and Sutton. No, and it's like you can feel how weird it is because like back in the day, they were the two outcasts. Like Kyle was the head of the group with all of her friends. And now she's, the friends have gone or they've left her. And now she's like, hey guys, hey best friends, what are we doing today? Yeah, should we go to Chuck E. Cheese? Like seeing the three of them together, not once but twice, Tennis and then Chuck E. Cheese. I was like, what is this crew?

12:45And then I realized like the only person Kyle really has sort of on her side is Sutton and Sutton is still not even afraid to like call her out which I really appreciated yeah we'll get into the recap after the stories which I'm shocked to hear you say are good I feel like with the fires and everything they've been kind of like you know yeah people are otherwise preoccupied but no um some interesting stories today so without further ado let's get into the fast five stories that you need to know and the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by smart mouth the only mouthwash that is scientifically proven to eliminate and prevent bad breath for 24 hours with just two rinses a day.

story big news from across the pond tommy fury reveals the real reason why he split from molly may so tommy fury has finally detailed the reasons why he and fiance molly may split in an emotional interview with men's health carefully timed days before molly may's much anticipated documentary is released which is in two days let the countdown show Tommy became dependent on alcohol following a boxing injury and admitted his mental health was in the pan amid rumors that their breakup was a publicity stunt Tommy spoke candidly about his mental health battle and insisted he has never cheated on Molly May calling rumors about other women complete and other bullocks he said who is this bitch like well who is this bitch anyway but let's focus on the primary source he said the reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore he confessed like on the one hand I feel like I'm right and on the other hand I feel like did he hear what I said and then yeah by the way because you literally said I gave him an alcoholic and he didn't cheat like you literally said no what I said was what if he's an alcoholic and he only cheats when he's blackout and so if he could swear to Molly and never have a drop of alcohol again could she take him back yeah but he said that he didn't cheat so you're half right right right right anyways he said it kills me to say it but it's true I couldn't I loved a pint of beer I love to drink and it is what it is people go through different things in life and we all have our crosses to bear I've got mine to bear so basically 2023 he said was the best year of his life his daughter was born he won two multi-million pound boxing matches and then in 2024 he was injured he like broke all the ligaments in his hand and he couldn't fight anymore so he was replacing the adrenaline and an orphans he used to get from matches and practices with alcohol and was just drinking drinking drinking going on bender weekends budapest miss hungary's there just a bad scene yeah well the fact that tommy and molly were spotted together somewhat recently makes me think that like this is an approved podcast like molly and him are working together on some sort of strategy with her upcoming documentary like this is molly approved right yes so the what i'm seeing is that the documentary previous episodes will show some of their reconciliation and probably talk about what happened between them so he's just like saying it first and then we'll probably see some of the aftermath in the documentary and now they are currently filming episodes for the spring episodes that come out of them being back together and going on dates and working through it so i think it makes sense that like Tommy got to share his truth on his own like in his own moment because I doubt like he would just want I'm sure they're they're communicating about these things but like for her to be like well Tommy's an alcoholic that's not really something you out someone about yeah no they have to like say it publicly on their own terms I that's a good way of looking at it I have two questions one I had not heard any rumors that like this breakup was a publicity stunt is that like a UK tabloid thing I didn't even hear that well if they're getting back together then it makes you question not me sorry sorry it makes other people question not i because it doesn't make me question at all i think them breaking up and like breaking the hearts of the entire world was so hard for them the only thing i don't understand is like their breakup seemed to be extremely immediate like together one day done the next that means like something happened because if it's a slow roll they could have been living separately before we knew and then they announce but we're literally seeing him packing his watching him pulling out of the g-wagon so maybe all of the drinking led to an unforgivable incident maybe it wasn't cheating but maybe it was something else but i do think it reached a peak because the way their breakup rolled out was like oh wow something this was like a switch that was flipped i i i have to bring up that awful podcast woman who you know a lot of people had assumed that he had cheated on molly may with absolutely no proof but like why else would these two break up and then this girl you know went viral she went on a podcast and she said that in Dubai she was one of like four girls uh Tommy had sex with that night and she was like so proud of it she's like become like an influencer because of it she's one of the most like wretched looking she's one of the most despicable people I've ever seen at like internally I don't care what she looks like and I also yeah of course another clip of her bragging about how she used to throw her dirty drawers her dirty undies on her stepfather and then film his reaction and he lost his job because of it and she was really proud because she was getting a lot of followers so this is a morally bankrupt person I would not believe a word that this person says and I'm not gonna like Tommy who's not you see we know him as well as you couldn't know any influencer he seems like he has more trust I'm by the way I'm not saying what about what she said I'm saying how do you let someone talk about you like that like so untruthful without I don't know what the laws are in the UK but like there have to be certain laws about against just like saying whatever the fuck you want yeah but like are you really going to take your time to go and sue this like deranged i would person i would maybe like that that made the whole thing it got so big because of that clip not for not for my pov maybe for uh for other people but really not for me i feel like it like it was just like oh these are the whispers and there was that night in dubai and there was that night with like right there was that night video right yeah and the video at the table so we just sort of it was like why wouldn't we believe it but like this isn't a person that I'm not I'm not going to take her word I'm just not no I fucking hate this girl every time I see a clip of her like whether it's that original clip that went viral or now she like does podcasts talking about like how disgusting she is I have like a very physical reaction I fucking hate her I don't even know her name I don't want to know her name I just like know her face and her voice and how she gloats about the absolute most abhorrent behavior yeah I feel like her name is Katie but I'm not sure about that yeah anyways and let me say Tommy Fury looked very good on that podcast like really he looked you know clear eyes full hearts looked mentally lucid he looked good yeah so two days her documentary job so we'll start to get more answers and we'll see like Molly's perspective on it and I hope that they can rebuild it and just like I said when I was speculating not speculating I was giving a theory as to how they could get back together.

23:58Like, I do think that if he can cut out drinking, the behavior, the thing that makes him behave badly, then can he go back to being the Tommy that she loves? Yeah, because these are two people who are meant for each other, right? And we've been talking a lot about that, like as it pertains to like Paige and Craig. I think what we're all realizing is like, actually, maybe these two weren't right for each other in the end, like it wasn't. But with Molly and Tommy, they actually are each other's persons and life gets in the way and people's flaws get in the way and you have to work through it. So I'm a champion of them working through it and it's actually very human of them to be going through this.

24:35I don't think it was a publicity stunt. No, neither do I. And I feel like even when we're sad about Paige and Craig, like there's always that voice that's like, well, who will they date next? That would be fun. And you can see them with other people. It was never like that for Molly. As a fan of Molly, I never was like, ooh, Molly, get out. It's just, they have a child together. We all watch their love story. I feel like so much of their story was a storybook romance and it's easy to be in a thriving relationship when things are going so well. But this really has, even in 2023, like he said, he was winning all those fights, a lot of money, and then he's down and out.

25:08And this, like if you can get through something like this, like you can get through life. Yeah, because what they're getting through isn't an issue in their relationship. It's like a personal issue that he's having that's like creating a blockade in their relationship. Affecting their relationship. I think yeah but it's not like but it's not like they can't communicate or they have infidelity it's not like a relationship issue it's like a person struggling and obviously then those struggles come between two people yes but if you can take out the alcohol of course if we work on Tommy it sounds like you know uh resolution is possible yes I'm happy for these two me as well and I was like when I did thought think he cheated like I was like happy to see them back together but I'm like come on you know like it's like you never want to see that you know you want to see the cheater lose and so even though you champion two people getting back together and they're a family like it doesn't feel good to like get back together with somebody after infidelity like it's tough and it doesn't always work out do you believe him when he says he never cheated on Molly

26:07yeah I mean I do because it's pretty much before he said that it was just like a truth like we just like so to undo a truth like that and lie about it it's it's hard and like a kind of a fruitless endeavor I believe him too because he could have not brought it up and if the other person brought it up he could have been like listen I've done things I regret when I was drinking and I will always regret them till the day that I die without but to say blanket I've never cheated like I kind of I kind of have to believe you and I don't know like he's not we've not caught him in a lie before you know once someone's a liar once you've seen them lie molly will not lie on her documentary like if he cheated it will be in the documentary and it will negate what he just said right like a liar yeah yeah look crazy i i will believe someone unless i have seen them lie before you know and i guess like the only true evidence we have is that like just awful girl and i'm not in a court of law she doesn't it's i'm throwing the evidence out she is not a reliable witness it's it's inadmissible Yeah.

27:09Yeah. So two days. Did you watch Sure Number Two yet? No, not yet. I'm just letting you know, like, your content plate is holding up my life. Sorry. Let me write it down. Because I actually have been watching a bit of TV, and I'm not known what to watch. And your husband wants to watch Sure Number Two. Like, I spoke to him about it. Did he watch it without you? No, no, no, no, no. But tonight should be the night, because Southern Charm's not on tonight. You should watch it. And I'm surprised it's like not getting any award season hype. I don't know if it's because it was like just kind of released on Max.

27:41Maybe because it was good, no? Yeah, right, right, right, right. Are you ready for our next story, which is some movie drama? Mm-hmm. Justin Baldoni is demanding that Disney hold on to documents to support his claims. Ryan Reynolds used nice pool to bully him. So when I first saw this headline, I was so confused. It wasn't English to me. My brain felt like mush. Nice pool? What the hell is nice pool? What the fuck is nice pool? So here. Now that I understand it, I just want to say never really been a Ryan Reynolds fan. Currently, huge Ryan Reynolds fan. Oh, that's not how I never. I just am like so glad that I don't watch these stupid movies.

28:18Anyways, here's what nice pool is. Because Justin Baldoni is seeking to gain communications made about Ryan Reynolds' nice pool character in an attempt to show it was used to bully him. So in his movie Deadpool and Wolverine that came out this summer, Apparently a character was created called Nice Pool. And he's like a cringe male feminist. Yeah. Who like has a podcast and long hair. Yeah. And Baldoni and others think that this character was made to like make fun of Justin Baldoni. So his legal battle, he's responding to Blake Lively's sexual harassment and retaliation claims. And they sent a litigation hold letter on January 7th to Marvel Studios president and Disney CEO.

29:00Demanding they hold on to documents that mention Baldoni for potential use in court. According to the letter viewed by People, they want any and all documents relating to the development of the Nice Pool character and communications relating to the development and writing and filming of storylines and scenes featuring Nice Pool. The thing is, they can ask for shit all they want. Marvel is not being subpoenaed. They do not have to hand over these documents. And I have a hard time believing they're going to give up documents that, if maybe make Ryan Reynolds look bad or guilty, when Ryan Reynolds is one of their biggest stars.

29:29He just did a huge Deadpool franchise. This letter is like, I want this. yeah well I want a lot of things no but like also say Ryan Reynolds was ticked off by Justin Baldoni created a character that's not illegal but not illegal and he the the claim is that they're looking for documents relating to or reflecting a deliberate attempt to mock harass ridicule intimidate or bully Baldoni through the character of Nice Pool like what it's called inspiration first of all and second of all so Justin Baldoni you agree you're like a fake male awkward cringe feminist and also so there's Nice Pool barely made the movie by the way there's some deleted scenes of this person and one of them he said how he's going to monetize the feminist movement for his podcast podcast and then he also like compliment lady pool who is played by blake lively this what is pool like this is so stupid okay what is this movie i'm not sure like you're so asking ask your husband lady pool and nice pool we're talking just like justin and blake as two pools do as two pools too and nice pool said to lady pool like you look so good for just having a baby oh okay I just want to say I don't think there's really any doubt that Justin Baldoni was an inspiration for this character this scene this dialogue like it's it's in the documents and then it's on your screen like it's it's worth noting that the the timing of the filming of Deadpool Wolverine and It Ends With Us are very concurring similar so yeah like the movies came out at the same time which meant they were being filmed at the same time so if Ryan Reynolds added this it's because of things that happened in tandem on It Ends With Us set so the Like, am I crazy?

31:01Or is Justin Baldoni, like, sort of validating - Outing himself. Outing himself, like, validating that, you know, maybe he did say that to Blake Lively. And two, like, just that that's what the vibes were, that they were contentious and, you know, you were being, like, a fake female. Like, I don't understand why this helps Justin Baldoni's case because it's not illegal to use someone as inspiration. So here's what, so there's two things. There's the case and then there's, like, the court of public opinion. Right. Which one could win one and lose the other, but both are important. and you could argue each one is equally more important because this is their job is being in the public.

31:34Yeah. What Justin Baldoni needs to prove in court and to the public is that Blake and Ryan were setting out to launch a smear campaign against him because of what happened on the set of It Ends With Us. That is why he hired Crisis PR. Defensively. And started positioning himself as a good guy as an attempt to thwart whatever was coming his way. But because that never really happened, it just looked like he was going an offensive attack yeah no that's a good point so that's what he needs to prove and he's using nice pool as a way to show like they're making fun of me and this is one piece in the larger thing that was set to destroy Justin Baldoni that he worked preemptively against understood well I don't really feel like anything I've seen like from a legal standpoint like he I don't think he has a strong case um because again like even if there's a document, an email that says, I am creating a character named Nice Pool, and I am going to base him off of this guy who worked with my wife.

32:33Not illegal. So I don't think his legal case has really any merit, but I do think that him filing these things, and I do think he's chipping away at the good faith Blake had received from her complaint. And I do think he's successfully turned public opinion around a little bit after because it was always you know team Justin and then her complaint which had a lot of screenshots a lot of evidence and a lot of really damning stuff in there did wonders for her and honestly it was crazy because people were just so committed to disliking her that it was really compelling stuff that that it ended up flipping for him and now he's with his complaints and his subpoenas and his suits and I do think it's actively you know he's making headway for himself I don't know where we landed in terms of public opinion I don't think we're split I think the public is more so leaning towards Justin yes but I also think we're headed towards like a place of apathy and confusion yeah and everyone just sort of being like well we don't know and like at this point we really don't care yeah it's really a bit too messy it's hard to keep everything apart you can't keep reading all these lawsuits like we're just like it's sort of like your problem we have to go back to paying our bills and going to work like it's it was fun for sure and we wish you all the best but that's the half yeah but i guess the outcome is like okay so what what should come of this like is should either one of them be canceled are they both safe to work with again for the industry and also just like for people because the way i feel is like i'm gonna go back to consuming each of them the same way I did before any of this which is that I don't really engage in his stuff because it's not for me and when Blake drops a swirly film I'm there yeah right and like it's nice to see her with the swirlies at the Rhode Island compound which I don't know if you saw is getting an extension I did see hey she needs one this house is a little small 100 % Taylor's house in Rhode Island like people found the permits so basically she's taking it's actually crazy like the amount of things you know about people who are famous so her master bedroom the master bedroom as it is now is becoming the bathroom and closet and lounge area and then the extension which is i think an additional 500 square feet is becoming the actual bedroom like where the bed is she's got a big husband yeah it's true like she needs bigger furniture bigger chairs everything like and the guys that she used to date like literally weighed less than her like skinny little british guys so all the furniture is definitely like antique and travis probably cracked a chair for sure he's got like big protein shakes to put on a nightstand like he needs bigger furniture so true he needs more no and you know he's just like aggressive like when he opens a drawer he like pulls it really hard and it comes off the hinges like she can't be with this like little dainty sort of like you know our antique tables that she finds in paris she needs restoration she's shopping cb2 now for sure not even like what's the big and tall equivalent of furniture stores like restoration hardware everything there's huge no honestly like raymore and flanagan it needs to be like good american made shit lazy boy yeah and you know travis definitely has like a recliner in the corner now she has all these nieces and nephews she needs more bedrooms she has all these friends like i don't know how they were all just like sharing rooms over that uh whose birthday was it when blake's birthday when they had the party and then also like july 4th but she's had so many all of her friends have kids like i'm sorry that house is way kelsey that house is way too small i bet you she's like making the basement into like a kid's like bunk area yeah so much fun with like a little play gym oh my god and the kelsey girls and the reynolds girls so cute you and you know like uh what's the name of one of the kelsey girls elliot wyatt why it's gonna be like you heard the rumors from me nez you can't believe a word she says and they're just gonna be like in the basement starting drama totally in the basement starting drama so yeah i saw that such cousin behavior i guess like she could have moved too but um like moved on the island to a bigger house she couldn't first of all we're joking the house is fucking huge it's so joking the house is tiny and i'm sure the only bigger houses like in rhode island are those like rockefeller museums like the breakers summer cottages that are now like i went on in high school like a tour they all have like velvet stanchions and like you can like look around but they're like the old rockefeller and vanderbilt houses that's what she needs yeah she does because that house is super small and actually she loves her Rhode Island house a lot and I think an unfortunate part of it is it's really not private because like it's next door to a public beach and like you can just I mean people knew that she was doing construction because they just took a picture of the house and there was like a tarp like it doesn't I think she hates that she likes it so much because it's really not very private meanwhile I've like never seen her LA house you know yeah even her Nashville house I feel like is so I've seen like an aerial view of it like I don't know what it looks like of course the New York apartment we know the building from the outside and she does like that a lot because it's super private but her Rhode Island house is like her least private house like we just know so much about it I mean we're talking about I know but she probably is also like oh they think they know so much but we don't know what goes on it's true actually we don't know a lot about what it looks like inside we're always seeing pictures of the outside and the beach but like her LA house is where she did Vogue 73 questions so like we literally saw the whole thing when she was walking through New York is where like all all pictures of like her baking whatever like it's all in New York um all the reputation that AT &T like video diaries she did when she was writing reputation um when she was hiding after Kanye that was in the Nashville house so we've seen the interiors of most not Rhode Island yeah but now we can guess that yeah maybe she'll do it like an AD spread yeah with her new big American furniture I mean and the whole theme of that house is American right like she always does july 4th there it's always like red white and blue and yeah it makes sense that like her and travis would be redoing it for america yeah for and for bigger people correct that's so american they gotta raise the ceilings literally because also people like when the house was built people were shorter back then don't you find yes rebecca harkness 100 yeah so that's the latest with justin v blake this is the craziest what a nightmare i know we said this last time like what a nightmare movie I do find myself caring a lot less and this was like a subject that at one point I couldn't sleep like I was thinking about it over the summer non-stop um and so I've really stopped caring yeah no I haven't stopped caring I'm sorry I haven't because I still find this nice pool thing hilarious and interesting but my level of interest has definitely decreased it and I think it's going to continue trending downward yeah same are you Ready for our next story?

39:11What number? Number three. Oh, yeah. Kate Middleton reveals she's in remission from cancer after a surprise hospital visit. So Kate Middleton is in remission four months after completing her cancer treatment. The Princess of Wales announced the happy news on Instagram Tuesday while sharing photos from her surprise visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London where she received treatment. She said in her post, I want to take the opportunity to say thank you to the Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year. My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have walked quietly alongside William and me as we have navigated everything.

39:45She went on to say that she couldn't have asked for more from the medical staff who provided exceptional care and advice during her time as a patient. She had then announced that she had taken on the role of joint patron of the hospital now that she's in remission and has returned to her royal duties. She said it like very casually. She had like a long caption about her visit to this hospital. At the very end, she dropped the word remission. Everybody was like, wait. So it was the first we heard of it. She's like not making a big deal of it. And I think you probably like don't want to jinx it either because remission like is great, but it can always come back.

40:14And I didn't know you could be in remission after four months. I thought it had to be like at least a year. Four months after finishing treatment. Yeah. Like I thought it had to be a whole year where like all your scans and tests come back positive. But what the hell do I know? I'm sure the doctors at Royal Bars didn't know a little bit more. I'm really happy for her. I think like taking on a role within the hospital is like so royal. You know, you have to do some philanthropic element, and this is so personal. So it's great. I'm happy for her, and I hope that, like, this chapter is truly, like, behind her and over.
