Transcript of I Miss My Man: Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026

Good morning, girlies.

It's the Toast.

It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast 5 things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the Toast.

I sound amazing.

Welcome back to the Toast and happy Tuesday, even though it's Tuesday. Tuesday, it just kind of feels like I'm living in a dream. Like, is it dream day? I don't know. Because yes, it's just a regular old episode of The Toast, except for the fact that like Jackie is here, like seriously, in a physical sense, in name only. That's, oh, and that's it. She texted me at like, you're actually gonna crack up. She texted me at like 7:45 and was like, I have no voice. I can't podcast. Basically like, you know, find Ben, figure it out. Like I'm out. I was making like a Michaela Nogueira TikTok. It took me like an hour, so I didn't see. And then I'm like fully dressed at 8:45, about to leave the house. And Jackie's like, I can't. So her voice is like pretty much gone except that like it comes, it comes sporadically. It comes in and out.

Like right now. Oh my God. It's funny because I haven't spoken all morning. I've been on vocal rest since 5 o'clock last night, not saying one word because this is my trade. This is my trade.

Of course. It's no achievement. We take vocal health extremely seriously here at the Toes.

And then when, and I haven't been able to get out one word. Then when you call me to say, oh my gosh, I just saw your text and Ben's not here. My voice came in. And then right after the call, my voice left. And Claudia, sitting here right now, I've not had this much voice in the last 12 hours. It's a miracle.

It knows, it knows, it knows to get— well, the thing is, don't let your voice come back too quickly because the premise of today's episode was like, I'm just going to be like talking to a wall. I just needed you here physically.

Like, nod and smile, look pretty, sit and look pretty.

Just what you usually do. I like I can't solo episode, but like, if you're in the room and you're just like nodding, like, that's a solo episode, you know?

Yeah, this is why it's your dream episode, even though my voice is getting stronger and stronger as we sit here.

No, it's not. It's really not.

I can't argue with you.

I choose the stories.

I can only agree with you. I can only— you choose the stories, and I have to keep my thoughts to a minimum.

And the thing is, like, if you're a good person in this life, the universe will pay you back. Like, that's exactly what's happening.

And it's like, you've never wanted to be a solo podcaster? I don't know, you're kind of talking a lot.

Like, I thought it was like my episode.

You've never wanted to be a solo podcaster? Because that's like a hard—

I would never want to, you know.

But having a podcast with a sister who lost her voice is your dream come true?

It's a dream come true. And you know what, actually, I was thinking on the way to The Toast today, like, if we ever go through a rebrand, which I don't think we will— I think the name The Toast, like, it's literally the best name we have. I have no issues with it. But like, let's say something happens, like You know, like ISIS was a beautiful name until the organization, like what if they started terrorist organization named Toasty?

Oh, the name of the dog in Downton Abbey.

Exactly. So you never know when like a word can change meaning. It happens. If we ever need, I think we should rebrand to The Crack, 'cause like we're always cracking.

And we look forward to cracking.

And I know like this isn't colloquially used, but I could see somebody being like, hey, gimme like the gossip, gimme the crack, you know? Just an idea. You never know what's gonna happen. I just wanted to put it out there.

Keep it in your back pocket, but someone could steal it.

Well, I have proof now that I came up with it first.

Trademark it.

So today is what, Tuesday? Oh, DTQ, we will have to push Dear Toasters 'cause like I can't do Dear Toasters alone. Jackie's sort of like, you know, who's gonna be the toxic boy mom if she can't talk? So we will save it for later in the week when she's feeling a little bit better. But today, like we do have a job to do. There are actually a lot of stories. I chose them. Yeah, that's right. We have big news. And also Love Island last night, day 2, night 2 of Casa Amor.

I lost my voice during Casa Amor. I'm being punished for something.

Also, sound off in the comments, like, how do you get your voice back? Like, obviously she's gonna go on vocal rest, drink lots of fluids, but like, where's the magic? Can we get a steroid shot? Like, what do we do?

100%. Being on vocal rest as a parent is very interesting.

And a podcaster.

No, no, as a podcaster, of course it's detrimental. As a parent, it's very interesting. Because I, because I can't say anything. I, I have to par— and they have to really pay attention to me. They're—

do they know that you're on vocal rest?

They know that I've lost my voice. They are looking for it.

That's really cute.

It's really cute, but they really have to like listen to me because I can't speak that much. They have to look at me when I'm trying to communicate.

Is this a parenting hack?

It's, it's very efficient. It is. And they also like feel bad for me because I sound sick, so they're like, right, patient with me. They're patient with Mom.

That's really beautiful. I love this. Like, you sound like Caleb— oh no, Corbin, sorry. Very, very deep voice.

Yesterday I sounded like Kada.

Yes, Kada does have like a raspy, like, sexy— hers is like that Phoebe Buffet sexy voice. Yours, you do sound like kind of like sticky shoes, my Sticky Shoes.

Should I try it?

My sticky, sticky shoes. Yeah.

There's always gonna be another mountain. I'm always gonna wanna make a move. Always gonna be—

that's not the right song. You need more like— what's like a sexy, like sultry song? Like, like Ray. Like, what's one of her songs?

Like, baby, no, no, where the hell's my husband?

Oh, you need— oh, I know nothing could matter. Okay, but you need like a sexy song.

I got it. Everybody loves the things you do.

No, wait, I got it, I got it, I got it.

You have to do this from the way you talk.

Wait, well, how does it go? They try to make me go to re— that's what you need to do.

They try to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no.

Why?

Yes, I've been back, but when I come back, oh no, no, no.

RIP.

So much for vocal rest.

Yeah, like I said, you're talking a lot. This episode's like not even remotely going how I thought it would. Um, and like, you can do the stories, like, since you're feeling so fucking chatty.

Like, that's a waste of my breath.

It is, it is, it is. And there actually are good stories today.

Um, are they the same stories I would have chosen, do you think?

Do you find I did like choose a story being like, I'm only choosing this because I know Jackie would. Ina Garten's launching a podcast.

That's major news.

And we need to talk about the name. So there actually is a lot. I might have skipped it, but like, that's—

there weren't lead story news in my world.

No, I know, right, right. So, so now I need to tell Ben. I have to tell Ben that Ina has a podcast.

Yeah, absolutely. Also, the fun thing about talking less, you sort of have to like infer what I mean. I'm doing that. Mysterious. I'm doing that with my husband. He keeps wanting to have all these conversations about like random shit, and I'm like, do you know that now I'm on a need to speak basis?

Right, right. And like, literally the only speak you need to speak is the toast, and then you need to be quiet the rest of the day.

He comes in this morning, he's like, we need to talk about the outdoor furniture. No, we don't. We do. We don't need to talk about it.

What are you talking about? Like, you have great outdoor furniture, let's leave it at that.

That's a waste of my breath.

1,000%.

It's like, you know, hurricane season and yada yada.

Oh yeah, bring it inside. Do you know that, um, you need that Neuralink?

I was thinking the same thing.

The chip in your brain that can like read your thoughts and speak them.

Literally. And I can't talk to text anymore. I was thinking, you know, text to talk.

How do you like— how does Neuralink work? Because like we all think things that we like— we're thinking them because we don't want to say them because they're like mean and hurtful or like nobody's business. How does Neuralink decipher between like, I'd like to speak this, and oh, she looks fat in those pants, you know?

I don't know. It's a great question.

Just something to think about. Yeah. Now today's episode is not going to be in the lofi because again, I really like— we're, we're lucky for what we have and we need to protect the instrument. Um, So I have PFFB'd like as much as I possibly need to.

There's no like story or anything you want to say where I can't interrupt you?

Oh, I don't know if I've told you guys about the Claudia edit. Claudia Ashray x YouBeauty. It's, yeah, kind of a major partnership I'm doing in the beauty space with my favorite skincare company. You can head over to my Instagram or YouBeauty Instagram to hear all about it, but basically my two favorite products plus 2 months of Sodo Method are being sold in a bundle where you can save over $100. Eye cream, neck cream, and 2 months of the best fitness app on the planet. Oh, I'm working out today. Ugh, it's literally ruining my day, like knowing that I have this thing. Why do I do that to myself?

What kind of workout?

Sodo? Sodo, yeah. Um, you know, I made a TikTok. Actually, I was going to send it to you today before I posted it because I feel like I was bordering on like toxic mom, like being negative.

Send it.

Can I, can I play it for you?

Yep.

I love my child more than anything in this world. There is nothing I won't do for my child except play on the floor. Mommy's on the couch, you're on the floor. I love my— I like can't get on the floor. And like, we're in like floor era now. Like floor is everything. And it's like, am I a bad mom? Like I will not get on the floor, especially with my bad neck.

It's hard to be on the floor. Get a bean bag.

Oh, so you're saying I have to get off the couch?

Like get closer to the floor, but not on the floor.

Bean bag is interesting. I just feel like floor is dad territory, couch is mama.

Agreed.

But like a lovesack, that's a good idea actually. A bean bag.

Yeah, cute.

And like this bean bag, where am I putting it afterwards? Like the sweeper?

I know, sweeper.

The sweeper doesn't have room for a bean bag.

But that's like, you know, the Pottery Barn kids chairs?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I sit on those life-size. Yeah, I don't know how to break that. Okay, I feel like that was a waste of breath, that conversation. Like, everything that we talk out today, like, has to be worth the breath, and that was a bad one. So let's just dive in. How about that?

That's F-A-C-E-F-O-U-N-D-R-I-E.com, code Toast at checkout. Oh, so what's gonna be my first story? Like, it has to be the most important.

Big decision.

There isn't like a ton, but I guess Hailey Bieber for Skims like is the news of the day. Um, so Hailey Bieber, we saw everyone, I forgot I have to like paraphrase or I have to read the article. Okay. Hailey Bieber stars in Skims Everyday Cotton campaign featuring premium cotton bras and underwear in new styles. She's bringing the sizzle this summer because the model, 29, was tapped by Kim Kardashian as the face of the Everyday Cotton campaign, posing in several undergarments for a sexy photoshoot that highlights the brand's premium cotton collection and the star's sickening body. Like, body tea, as the kids say. I'm obsessed with this. I don't know, like, why Had she never done one before?

I guess not. It doesn't feel new, but it's—

it doesn't feel new because they're just like the same, like, celebrity circle jerk, which I love. Like, yeah, like, get me in, put me in, coach. Uh, Baddie Tee, she looks fucking insane. And I just know, like, she also posted like all these pictures of her and Justin, like, on Father's Day, like, that's my baby daddy, like, so cute. And like pictures of her and the baby. And like, I just don't like the Jelena stans. Like, it was self-harm day, like, by looking at them. It was so— I just know she bothers so many people with like her beauty, her joy, her success, her happiness, and like her man who like literally loves her so much. She like posts— she's continually rage baiting people. She was posting like a video of like him like sucking on her neck, and it's like, I just know like it hurt a lot of people to see that, and I loved it. I loved it.

Yeah, the pictures are amazing.

The pictures are amazing. This is such a slay on Skims, on, on Hailey. It's been a while since like a Skims campaign made waves. They had like a really good like steady 2 years. Um, And I feel like they've started to do less of them.

I feel like there have been less like new drop collections. Did—

was Sarah Pidgeon— she was for Rhode.

She was for Rhode.

Got it.

Okay.

Um, yeah, I feel like I can't remember the last time Skims did like— they had that where they were doing Sabrina, they were doing the Love Island— no, not Love Island, every month White Lotus prostitutes. Like, yeah, they were doing a really good job, it was fun. I feel like maybe like they ran out of budget or something.

Yeah, or they spent all that money to then, you know, see how it— yeah, recouped.

If it's— president do anything with soccer. Okay, Jalen Brunson for Skims when?

Great question.

Oh, big news! I don't know if you guys saw, Jalen Brunson announced— like, it's— I'm so curious, like, what is he going to do after the NBA championships? He hasn't, like, announced, like, anything yet. And the, the fact that he announced a children's book is, and I feel like he was just waiting to announce it so that they could write on the COVID written by NBA champion Jalen Brunson. Like, he was just waiting. Um, I pre-ordered it already, and I just love that, like, that's what he decided to do, because he really is, like, above all, like, he's just like a role model for kids.

Yeah, he is. That book is gonna go platinum in your house. Between 1,000%, Ben's gonna choose it every night. Yeah, Reuben, the number one Knicks fan, is gonna choose it.

I'm so down. I get, like, such book fatigue, like What are you guys feeling right now? I'm like kind of into Madeline, and like, I know it's for girls, but like somebody gave it to me and I like it. Like, it's for me. It's a hilarious book. Two little girls in two straight lines lived in a house with vines. Um, and I don't know, every time I'm just like unimpressed by all these books, except I had to say one of the best baby gifts I got was from the Taylors. They did like one of those, um, you know those companies that you like say the kid's name and they make a book with the name?

I own every single one.

I love it. So this book is called Goodnight Ruby, and it's like—

I have Goodnight Charlie.

Oh my God, it's so beautiful.

The end when he goes to sleep and he's like sleeping on a cloud.

Yep.

I love it.

As the house with your lights on the vine. It's so good. And like, there's like a little note in the beginning where it's like, you know, um, hope you have sweet dreams. Love, Auntie Taylor and Beau. Like, it's literally the sweetest fucking thing. And I, I don't know why I thought those books were like, I don't know, corny and like AI-generated. No, it's the most beautiful fucking book. I love it.

Some are better than others, but most are very good. You can get them at like Pottery Barn online.

You customize them.

Mhm. You customize them with the name. They have like seasonal ones. Like we have Hanukkah bear for Harry.

Oh, cute. This is like a good gift to get for someone, I'm telling you, cuz it's so thoughtful. And like as the, the one like Goodnight Parade, it's like It's so good. Like the whole book, make sure you're getting the one that's like a parade.

Someone got us one where you could put 3 in. So it's Harry, Charlie, and Max are firefighters.

That's really cute.

They're firefighters.

Well, looking forward to new rotation when the book comes out next August. That's an insanely time.

That is.

Right?

That really is.

Um, what were we talking about? Oh, Hailey Bieber for Skims. Slay mama. I just love her. I just love her. Like, I just love her. Very good, very good. Good job everyone. I like when people do their jobs well.

I watched the bat mitzvah video on Instagram again this morning. Claudia, you have such a wild side.

Claudia, you have such a wild side that everyone should get to know. You dance and we sing at every place we go.

Every second of that video is gold.

Pure joy.

Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. Watch it again. It's so good. And I can't deal with Marco. Like, I actually can't deal with her.

Can't. Won't.

Refuse.

Um, okay, next story. Um, Keke Palmer has given a cheeky update on the Shawn Evans romance after they were spotted on a New York City date night. So the actress gave a cheeky update on her rumored romance with the Hot Ones host on Tuesday at Cannes Lions Festival during a conversation during like a Spotify event. Jay Shetty was interviewing her and like, slay Jay Shetty, okay, not you being like a tabloid rat. Like, I thought you do like mindfulness, not gossip, but slay. Um, he asked whether she was serious about Sean Evans and Keke was like, oh, we're talking about this? First of all, I love Sean Evans. I love Sean. Hey Sean, that's my guy. And I was immediately upset when I heard her say that she loves him because like, if you're dating someone, like, you don't say that. Like, you say that about— it's giving friend zone. Shetty pressed her on the photos that surfaced on Du Moi earlier this month. She said, we're hanging out, you never know what could arise. She clarified, we're taking it day by day, one wing at a time, so to speak. Um, yeah, I was like, I was worried after I saw that.

I agree with your assessment. However, I like that she said, that's my guy.

Yes, but before that she said, "I love Sean," not once but twice. And I feel like that's really bad because if there's the possibility of you actually being in love with him, you would never say that. That's what you say about like the guy who like you are friend-zoning.

I think it's too early in their relationship for her to talk about it, so she's trying to keep it light.

And by saying that you love him, that keeps it light? L-U-V. I don't know, Paychix wrote it O-V.

It's open for interpretation.

Um, I also want to put forth Keke Palmer, and I'm just like thinking about it now, and I have no issues actually with Ariana as the host of Love Island. Like, she does a fine job, but they do rotate quite a bit because I was just reminded that at one point Sarah Hyland hosted the show. I forgot all about that. Um, and I think like the world is ready for Keke Palmer.

That's a good guess. She might be too big for it.

Well, the thing is, is that like, I think that the people who watch Love Island— like we said yesterday, Love Island is like a very Gen Z show. They don't know Bravo. Like, remember when Sierra came on and they were like, who watches Bravo? And one person answered. Who was it? Jen?

Kaitlyn?

Whatever. Like, I don't think that this world gets Bravo. So like, Ariana's like, she's great at the job, and I do think like her time is almost up just because they do swap people in so frequently. And Put Keke Palmer in. Yeah, although Keke Palmer is like so booked and busy. You have to be in Fiji for 2 months. That's like a lot of time to be off of other projects.

I think, I think Keke's like too big of a star. They like, like an influencer.

Yeah, they do blend.

Ariel Vandenberg used to do it, right?

So who do you think is next, or do you think that they're like settled on Ariana? I thought it was like a, a job that was sort of like a revolving door.

Yeah, I don't think Ariana would ever leave. It's a great job.

No, no, of course it's a dream job. It's like, so it— you have to work like 8 weeks out of the year and it sustains all your other projects. Like, she probably gets so many followers every season because the show just gets bigger and bigger.

Yeah.

Oh, who's— I just saw a teaser. Oh, Bebe Rexha, you sent me that. She's joining the villa tonight, UK. Oh, okay, never mind. Um, so, uh, I just want to say I don't think Keke Palmer and Shawn Evans— like, I think it was a bad date. Like, that's the vibe that I got.

I think, I think they're seeing each other.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

I love them so much. Like, it means so much to me to disagree without a voice, and not you like continually talking over me today. Like, it's insane. It's fucking insane. Like, you've literally talked more than me. I'm kidding. Um, love you, Kiki Bomber, but seriously, do better. We have a lot riding on this. Now, the news that we teased at the beginning of the episode—

I'm sad—

Ina Garten is coming out with a podcast, and she's quote embracing the messiness in her new podcast titled— are you ready? Do you want to guess before? What was the name of her terrible memoir? Well, the memoir was good. No. Like, okay. Um, what do you think her podcast is called?

Bear Mike Contessa.

Love that. No. Happy Hour with Ina Garten. It's so generic. I feel like, first of all, there has to be at least 100 podcasts with that name. Like, yes, it's a video podcast. Launching in September, featuring TV show-style interviews with her famous friends and plenty of cocktail-induced deep conversations.

Any more information? Read more.

In an interview with The New York Times published on Sunday, Ina explained that podcasting was kind of a younger and cooler thing, and it was the thing that was moving so fast, and I thought it would really be fun to be in that stream. The desire then prompted a bidding war that ended with Vox Media offering the beloved celebrity chef a 7-figure deal in her upcoming show. While she has spent the last few months cooking up some fresh ideas with her executive producer, the first few episodes of the podcast will be filmed at her New York City apartment in an effort to embrace the messiness that she claims is lacking in traditional television. It's happening in real time, it's not over-edited, so it feels authentic in a way that nothing else does. I'm always in pursuit of that messiness of real life. Her list of dream guests floated around in her head. She's already teased her desire to have Tom Holland and Zendaya on the show to discuss how they like to cook for each other. Good luck. So yeah, I have a couple of thoughts because weirdly I ended up watching this. This is not Ina's first attempt at interview.

She has a series, Be My Guest.

Yes.

Barefoot Contessa, where she's had tons of like high-profile celebrities who love her. She had Jennifer Garner, she had Stanley Tucci. And I have to say it was really bad because Ina, and I love her, she would not let anyone talk. I know that's like, you know, the pot calling the kettle black. But she's not an interviewer and she would like ask questions and then not let the person answer. And she was like fumbling all over the place. It was actually like, it was pissing me off. Um, but they were also cooking and talking about food. So like there was that too. But this is like purely interview. She's really not a cocktail queen. That's like not what people know her for. Like, I mean, you know, all of her episodes and her cookbooks like have cocktail recipes, but she's not like Sandra Lee. Like Sandra Lee's the cocktail queen.

Is she gonna be doing like hors d'oeuvres? Yeah.

I, I, I was thinking like, Um, cocktail— no, no, yeah, cocktail hour. Like, what? That's why happy hour, the whole thing being alcohol driven, like, this makes no sense. Does she have a line of alcohol coming out?

Are they cooking on the show? No, because I was gonna say it's just a cooking show, but you're calling it a podcast, and then it'll be on Netflix, and it's a podcast, but it's just a cooking show.

Non-union cooking. That's what her last show, Be My Guest, was, where they would like come over, cook a dish, sit for 10 minutes and talk. And the sitting for 10 minutes and talking without cooking was genuinely dreadful. I feel like I recapped it on the show because I was surprised at how bad it was, and she got insane guests. People love her.

They'll probably be drinking.

Yes, TV show style interview doesn't say anything about cooking.

No, it's interesting. The medium is expanding because this is a TV show.

Correct. That's exactly what Pete Davidson's podcast for Netflix— it's a talk show for Netflix.

Yeah, it's a talk show and they're calling it a podcast because I guess it's less edited, no union.

And it's not in union.

You're obsessed with the union. No, this—

it's actually a very interesting, like, hack around this age-old institute in Hollywood. Like, if you ever wanted your things, you had to be a part of a union, and now, like, a podcast, you don't have to.

I also think it's a way to get buzz, you know? If she was launching another—

it's a buzzy word.

If you were launching another cooking show, we'd be like, great, add it to the list of 20 she's done. She's launching a podcast. It's our third story.

1,000%. Um, I also feel like she really did not embrace social media for a long time. Do you remember that Instagram page that was obsessed with her? What was it called? Like, Ina— do you guys know what I'm talking about? The bear— they used to make like these insanely viral memes all about Ina. It was like back in the meme age. What the hell was that account called?

I probably still follow it.

Barefoot Contessa meme page. It's going to bother me. Sorry, let me just like look this up. No, what was it, guys? Do you know what I'm talking about? She apparently like hated it. She blocked them. Like, she was really anti, like, social media. And I feel like recently she's, like, become a little bit more open. What the hell was that? Insta— InstaGarden. InstaGarden.

Yeah.

Um, yeah, it was hilarious. That was, like, such a, like, a thing of the— like, a moment in time. She hated it. She blocked them. Like, she was really anti. So nice to see her joining us in the 21st century.

Does Ben know this news?

He's going to freak.

Good guy's ex You should call him and tell him live.

Um, I can't. He is like golfing, so he won't pick up. He's like— and it's so funny, he got invited to play this like amazing course. He's like, I have to go, it's like the most amazing course. And it's like, it's always some amazing course. Like, Ben is seriously going to be at Augusta soon. Like, he's played at every major course ever.

Oh, I thought you meant like every golf course is amazing.

No, there are like a lot of amazing historic— they do the US Open, he got to play Shinnecock. But it's like everyone is special, so like none of them are.

Yeah, there are a lot of special ones.

It's so funny, like when we had a baby, I was like, he's never gonna golf again. The man golfs more than anyone I know.

Yeah, he should bring Ruby.

That was important. Are you ready for our next story?

No, I just like— I'm very excited for Ina.

Oh, you want to keep permeating on that? No, not really.

It's just like, it's party news.

I don't know why.

Exciting for the medium.

It's, it's validating as podcasters ourselves.

Yeah. And it's like, and for Ben, I feel like he's really gonna like, because it's like, it's like, I guess that's why she went on Good Hang. He wants to be like Ina, and Ina wants to be like him.

Here's why Brooklyn Beckham is fuming over his parents' Father's Day posts. So Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly fuming, quote, over his parents David and Victoria Beckham's including him in their Father's Day Instagram post. David and Victoria extended an olive branch to their eldest son amid their bitter family feud on Sunday when they shared throwback pics of Brooklyn while gushing over their beautiful family. Victoria included a snap of all 4 children, including Brooklyn's younger siblings, posing with their father. And meanwhile, David shared a black and white childhood photo— excuse me— featuring all of his kids. Brooklyn is holding baby Harper in his arms, and then individual portraits of all the babies. But Brooklyn, 27, was absolutely furious over the public gesture, as he had previously asked them not to tag him in their social media posts, the UK Sun reported on Monday. He's fuming about it, an insider told the outlet. He asked them to leave him alone and they just keep posting him. It just brings the whole thing up again, the insider continued. He wishes they would leave him and it alone. Page Six reached out to Brooklyn's rep but did not immediately receive a response.

In Victoria's Father's Day post, she praised her husband as the best daddy.

He's disgusting.

Yeah, like, you can do a whole ass commercial and your parents can't celebrate each other. They're— no, they're— it's not even about you. They're celebrating David.

Yeah, like, whether or not— I love that, whether or not you're a sniveling little shit, he's a father of four.

Yeah, right. It's quite literally has nothing to do with you. And I actually love that whenever they post like family pictures, birthday pictures, they always act as if everything's normal because it makes him look like a petulant child. It's Yeah, what are you talking about? You're so— our son— I love that they always post for his birthday. I love that they always post for Mother's and Father's Day. It's— he's not being written out. Like, I feel like it makes the whole thing so unserious and makes him look even stupider.

Yeah, but it's like, regardless of what he's doing, David raised 4 children. We're celebrating Father's Day. We're going to include that.

And how is that any different or worse than his commercial?

No, it's literally not bad at all.

Like, no, I know, and this is just like tabloids, rumors, and nasty. I know, so like, I could see it being true.

Brooklyn was there for the childhood, so like, going out of their way to find pictures that Brooklyn's not in, like, why waste our time doing that?

No, and what would the headlines be if he was cropped out or if he wasn't included? Yeah, I seriously can't stand— and when— whenever they do post these old family photos, it makes me sick.

I know.

They're very regular.

Yeah, the idea that you like devote yourself in your life to this child who grows up to be a little ingrate.

Yeah, a spoiled brat.

It's sickening. It's sickening.

And I— it's just like very— it's odd when you look at their old family pictures because this could be any family. Like, you would never know that they're so like rich and famous. Like, they're just like cutesy little family.

Like, gave him everything.

Everything. That little Harper is a cutie.

Yeah. Oh, I guess she was once a 3-boy mama.

She had a girl.

Yep. Interesting.

Okay, did I finish? It's like hard to stay organized. I did that, I did that. Okay, one more story and then we have Love Island. Okay.

Oh yay!

Okay, Taylor Swift supports fiancé Travis Kelce at the Titan University event following their— his and hers pre-wedding celebration. So Taylor Swift supported Travis at the Titan University event in Nashville for the second year in a row. On Monday, Taylor was spotted pictured alongside her husband-to-be and his fellow tight ends George Kittle and Greg Olsen at a party ahead of the 2026 TEU season. So the pop superstar donned a yellow floral jacquard—

oh, jacquard, jacquard—

mini dress from Simkai.

Oh, sly.

For the occasion, teaming, uh, the outfit with a pair of matching yellow crystal Aquazzara stilettos and her signature red lip. We just got this one photo. Shout out Claire Kittle for posting it, because that's how I saw it. Um, and I guess it's like this thing Travis started with these two other tight ends in the NFL. I don't know what exactly Tight End University is, but it's like on the map now because Taylor went last year. And that's also when she sang, right? Yeah, she performed.

Yeah, it's crazy to go out so close to the wedding. I know.

Um, and also I guess coming off what their— was their joint bachelor bachelorette parties, right?

Was Joyn?

Well, the same weekend Travis is wearing also like a kind of a pair of culottes that you used to wear during the early days of the Toast. Who remembers Jackie's culottes that like I gave her endless grief for?

I didn't notice. I'm on my way cuz I don't look at men.

Yeah, I barely looked, but I'm like obviously doing the stories now, so I'm looking for like conversation starters and the pants sort of jumped out at me. Okay, they're shorts but they're really long. I'd say this is one of the weirder outfits I've ever seen Travis in. Yeah, right?

But he looks nice.

Yeah, he looks nice. I like a collared shirt. Claire Kittle looks bomb.

That's our Sports Illustrated swimsuit model right there. Oh, true.

Yeah, she's wearing micro shorts. She looks awesome.

Legs for days.

Legs for days. Um, so I guess the wedding countdown is on. They see she's getting married a week from Thursday. Wow, that's actually crazy.

Yeah, the guy on the right I think Greg Olsen. I always remember him because he was at Olivia and Christian's wedding.

Okay.

And he was like turned up. But speaking of Olivia and Christian, my favorite thing in the world right now is her sharing her home renovations in the home.

We have to talk about Olivia Culpo. First of all, just baseline, it is the most gorgeous. I'm screenshotting everything. I have never seen a home reno— I actually don't really care about people's home renovations. Like, everybody does the same modern farmhouse. She has the most insane decorator. She has a very unique point of view. It is her playroom, everything, her dining room. It's insane. And she's showing a lot of the before and afters. Now, a little history of the home is that the home formerly was owned and resided in by George and Amal Clooney.

They bought it from them.

It's very difficult to imagine that they lived in disgusting house. Like, it's obviously a mansion, but like— and I know she doesn't mean any shade, but it's like, you showing how they lived is insane. They had the ugliest house.

I—

and I say this as somebody who has no house— like, the ugliest house I've ever seen in my whole life. And it's particularly the dressing glam room, which was a dressing glam room before, but Olivia made it her own. There is no way a model did glam in there. It is a bunker.

She did also every single space. It's not just that it was ugly, it was just like so odd, like a random leather couch in the hallway, like dark, everything dark, everything dark.

Two bathrooms just next to each other, like, oh, and so Olivia's like, do you guys remember that quirky dual bathroom? I'm like, that's nice of you. Do you guys remember this freaky-ass bathroom?

It's so funny because anybody sharing their home right now would be like, this is how the previous owners had it, and we'd all be like, oh, it's ugly, now it's pretty. But just knowing that the ugliness was George and Amal, it's my favorite thing to watch. This, it's like such, she's not trying to shade them.

She's just showing what she did.

But like, it really looks so bad for them.

And she, by the way, she never shares that the home used to belong to George Clooney. It was like in Page Six. So it's just a fun fact that Jackie and I know. And now that you know it, you will watch Olivia Culpo's stories and you will seriously, your jaw will drop that like there's no way Amal Clooney lived there. Like zero.

So dark.

Maybe it was an investment. Like they never lived there.

No, that's a home.

That's a family home. Yeah, it was their main home too, like in LA. So dark, so ugly.

Keep your eyes on it, it's the best.

And it's really just gorgeous.

Yeah, really is.

All right, let's dive into our Love Island recap. We sent home, uh, 6 guys last night, but we met them 30 minutes prior, so it's not like a real mass dumping as this article is referring to it. Night 2 Casa Amor, the girls finally had their casa experience. They got not 6 but 12 guys, and I was shook, honestly. We got a little bit of the guys at Casa like settling into their couples first night. They— it's very interesting. I guess they didn't do like an official recoupling like we thought. They just asked the girls if they would sleep with them. Maybe they all like talked about who they want and they came to some sort of agreement. Same with the girls. Now I thought that the girls, like the process where they chose 6 guys versus 12, we didn't see any of that. We don't know who's interested, like who wants this guy to stay and who wants that. I thought they chose really poorly, if I'm being honest. I didn't think it was like the hottest crop of dudes ever.

Um, but, and I think people say that people are like, these Casa boys are ugly. I don't think the OG villager boys are, are that hot.

No, no. But like, I think that the girls that they got at Casa Amor are like an insane crop of women. And that the guys that they got at Casa Amor are like subpar. So it's like an interesting— I feel like it's intentional.

I think women are more beautiful.

Well, of course. And I don't know, all the excitement I was feeling after like the movie night, I just— I don't have a lot of faith that any of the girls are like— all they do is talk shit. Ah, fuck this guy, fuck this guy. Amaya, I miss my man. Sorry, I miss my man. Uh, when Anaya said I miss my man, I was like, you're so fucking unserious. Are you kidding me? I don't think Kada is gonna step out, especially especially because the guys are not worth stepping out for. Like, the Casa Amor guys are not much cuter than the— I don't think Kaitlyn's gonna step out. I don't know if Anaya is, even though she got a good one. Uh, Melanie is definitely not. Jen has nothing to lose. And then who's— oh, Trinity's not. Like, I'm telling you, I don't think anything's gonna change except I think maybe Anaya will come back for Casey. He's so not coming back for— like, their, their experiences could not be more different. And it genuinely begs the question, because I don't feel like Casey is like lying to Anaya. I don't think been dishonest about who he is.

So the fact that like she has experienced these 3 weeks with Casey and she's at Casa more talking about how she misses him and he's at Casa more actually having sex, like what are you missing?

I don't know, that was embarrassing. Kenzie's gonna pick someone new.

Yeah, ah, yeah, yeah. When he left that photo of her, Corbin really embarrassed her more than anyone else, more than the others. Yeah, um, Trinity seems to be into new guy I feel like that was just like a, an editing ploy. Like Zach is having a breakdown the same time Trinity— I just feel like Trinity is like a fun good time gal and is like taking advantage of an opportunity to kiss someone in spite of Zach. But when it like really comes down to brass tacks, I think she will choose Zach.

Even the way she was sitting with him, like they were like interlocking pinkies, they were just like touching each other. Not because they made out in the photo booth, like everyone's making out means nothing apparently.

Yeah, flirty.

Yeah, I don't know, I think she might be into him. But yeah, I feel like the guys, like, they got to Casa, all new girls. Didn't mean they don't care about their old girls. They're gonna experience this and then they're gonna be like, actually, I like my other girl better.

So yeah, I'm not confident.

I think a lot of them are coming back to their girls, but now they have all this stuff to answer for.

Oh great, we can watch the same miserable people be miserable and fight. Like, great. Um, also I was surprised. I thought they chose poorly in terms of like the 12 to 6, and like not them leaving behind both enormous guys. I feel like nothing like stunts more on your old boyfriend than coupling up with the biggest dude you've ever fucking seen, who were both so cute. They were so into Anaya.

They were so cute. And yeah, like that's why Anaya is so silly, because like I guess all of them got to choose one guy and she likes the volleyball guy.

But, uh, and by the way, he's really cute, Carl.

He is really cute. But those other two guys so cute and so hunky. I was shocked not even one of them got chosen.

I mean, it obviously goes without saying the challenge was just disgusting. I can't keep having this conversation. It was disgusting. We had to watch 24 kisses like I was in hell. Um, and a lot of them were like particularly disgusting. But yeah, I was— I think that guy Ronnie was really handsome.

Yeah, he is.

But I didn't think there was like a lot of insanely handsome guys. And I don't know who Jen— I think that surfer guy is like who Jen is. Girl, The one who like lives in California, works at the surf shop, or the Surf and Coffee, whatever.

Like someone named—

go— is that his name? Um, okay. Like, I feel like on Sunday night when we watched that episode, it was like the whole show's about to change. Ah, and I don't know, I just feel like it's gonna be a lot of the same bullshit. We're gonna have to watch Zach and Kaitlyn find their way back to each other and like still be insufferable. Same with Melanie and Sincere.

Um, Oh, and Zach is investing in the girl who's going home tomorrow.

Oh yeah, who also made out with his brother. So she told him that she made out with Charlie. She told the girls that she went on a date with Charlie. Very different.

Yeah. Also, I know they're gonna send her home for her social media behavior.

You think?

Yes, they have to. That's the precedent.

That's the precedent they set with Yulissa.

But I think they're gonna wait to see if she even makes it back to the villa, if anybody chooses her because they want her to disrupt the house, and then the next day they'll send her home. And it's like, if, you know, Bryce brought her in, or Zach, he still has to answer for the fact that he brought her in. Yeah, and he's single too.

Oh well, I don't think Kaitlyn is going to choose anyone, but Kaitlyn's like, so like, even if they come back together, they'll have to overcome Alana.

I think they'll use her for a few more episodes before they—

yeah, and maybe it's really inconvenient if they have to send her home.

And maybe the boys won't even choose her, so it doesn't matter.

Yeah, also, um, the Persian girl, Parmita, who I love, love, is with Caleb, which I love.

It looks like tomorrow— who's she tonight?

Is it Corbin? Corbin, Caleb's like twin nemesis whose name I can't remember. Um, yeah, Corbin GBT. I think he was kissing Parmita. He's kind of irresistible. Like, the girls, like, just— he must, he must be really tall, and he is really cute. His personality sucks, but like, he's— I think that just based on looks, he's kind of irresistible.

Yeah, I guess so.

All the girls liked him when he came in.

Yeah, I hope they bring some girls back. Those girls are so cute. Oh, of course, Casey and Tiara.

Tiara, I love her.

Super nanny.

Super nanny part. She said, I'm a part-time nanny and model. Like, slay. And prostitute. Like, I love her. I love her. I think she's literally gorgeous. I think that he's so— he has a lot of pent-up sexual tension from like being in the villa sleeping with Anaya every night. And you know, one of the things I like about her is that she's not like a very sexually forward— she's not gonna be doing all this stuff on TV. She's not French frying or hideaway or whatever. So I think that like he's in this very sexually charged environment with sort of no outlet to release his frustration, so he's just sort of like humping Tierra every chance he gets. That I don't know if he even has a connection with her because he's so blinded by his own sexual frustration.

Yeah, I could also see him going— I could see everyone going back to their couple.

If Casey and Anaya— when she said, let's say it on 3, I miss my man, like, there's so many reasons why both of them saying that is insane. I just do really believe that Melanie and Sincere, however toxic it may be, they have a genuine connection with one another. Anaya and Casey are a shell company incorporated. Like, there are no real feelings there. They were put together by default. He actually, for the first time, referenced that in today's episode, being like, you know, we were just put together by default in the beginning, and sort of been just uphill battle ever since.

Melanie and Sincere have happy times, you know, they have happy conversations sometimes where they're smiling and laughing. Every conversation between Casey and Anaya is a fight. And I'm sure you'll say there's things we don't see. No, like, if you fought in the morning and you fought the next day in the morning, you probably fought last night too, you know.

So tonight's episode, what happens? Just more casa, more Still not a date. Not a date in sight. That's insane.

Insane.

There should be multiple dates.

Yeah, that's how we can move things forward. Nothing happened before Casa Amor to accelerate things. We got 5 bombshells. That's it.

And I just want to say, and I mean this like with shade included, I'm not saying no tea, no shade. I'm saying yes tea, yes shade. Kata going to the Hideaway with Zach, having sex with him with no commitment, no closed off— like, that's poor decision making. Yeah, like, I'm sorry, call me prude, but if you're gonna be in a couple, I think having sex should be the thing you do when you close off. Ah, she's crazy. I think that you should.

I agree.

Oh, we didn't talk about the lip biting and the bleeding at Casa Amor. What a medical hazard that is. Like, all these people are sleeping, fucking one another, like, and you're swapping blood?

Well, they've all been thoroughly tested.

I don't know, I think it's insane.

It is like they're swapping fluids all day long. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy. Um, I agree with you about Kada. You know, if closed-offness is what you want, which it is what most girls want—

it's the point of the show—

yeah, but also like you could say if some girls might just want to have sex because she feels like having sex.

But that's not what it was. Kaitlyn really likes him.

You know, women— emotions are involved in sex for women.

And you know what, that's okay. Like, you don't, like, have to just have sex with everyone. Like, yeah, that's where I feel like sort of my, like, grandma, like, generational gap with the cast, like, starts to play in. Because, like, I am being a little judgmental. Like, what are you doing having sex with him in the Hideaway? Like, on TV? It's not even your boyfriend. And it makes it even crazier because I keep thinking about the fact that Nick and Sierra last season were like the first and only couple to close off. And he literally— she got dumped from the villa and she never heard from him again. But they were closed off and they were having sex.

That's still the craziest.

Like, they have not spoken since he returned from the island one whole ass year ago.

And that's your boy.

That's your boy.

Your Nicolandria stans boy.

Now, are the Nicolandria stans in the room with us, or are they just like bots?

Claudia, they're there. But every time—

I know that they were there like when the show ended and they were like coming off and there was like a couple of like light suspicions of people being like, do you feel like this is fake? And you couldn't say that now.

Even when we talk about Nicolandria, people comment really like here and there that like we're so wrong, they're so real.

Nicolandria, show yourself. I'm just curious, like, like release yourself in the comment, like post a picture of yourself too so I know you're not a bot.

Yeah, did you see Alandra's interview?

I did see Alondra's interview where she was like sort of yelling at us. Exactly, I did. But she—

whatever. But she did nothing to change my mind.

That's the thing, like, they're so, um, insistent.

No, but like, she wasn't—

they're like defensive of their right to privacy. It's like, girl, you are on Love Island. I basically saw your coochie.

But she wasn't even saying like, that's my boyfriend, we're in love, like like she was just saying, like, people don't know our relationship. We spend a lot of time together. Like, I've been with his family. Yeah, all those things you can do as a business partner and friend.

Of course, business partners always meet each other's families.

Yeah, like, I just love her, and I don't want to— like, it's not about her for me, you know what I mean?

It was never— I love her. She has— and the reason why I've been a queen—

I poke holes in Nicole Andrews because I want her to actually have real love. But like, I find him to be really deplorable for what he did.

I completely agree.

And I find that he's riding her coattails and her goodwill.

1,000%. And I think at first the fake relationship shell company was beneficial for both of them, but now I feel it harms her. Yeah, he is such a deadweight, like, like doing club appearances while she's like literally building schools in Africa. Like, they're just not the same. And you know what, I pick Clark. They're still together, by the way, Taylor and Clark. He picked Clark and he continues to pick Clark, and they got so much hate, him specifically, for like, you know, leaving his couple with Alandria. Meanwhile, look what it did for her, and he's in a happy relationship. They're on Beyond the Villa together.

I could see Casey, Anaya, and Tierra like being the Taylor, Alandria, and Clark.

And you think Casey's gonna— I mean, you think Anaya is going to become like Alandria?

Yeah, she could if he comes back with Tierra. She's still hung up on Casey.

No, I'm telling you, do you know who is like the breakout star gonna have, like the Elandra? It happens once every year. There's like one girl who becomes a star.

Trinity.

Trinity. And I just want to say I endorse—

everybody loves Trinity.

She has an amazing personality. I have slowly like moved on from the daylight savings blowjob. And somebody— we were talking about that at Mahjong yesterday, and we were explaining it to like a girl who doesn't watch Daylight savings. And I was like, yeah, it was such a weird thing to say. Like, what does it matter if it's daylight savings?

It's dark.

And my friend was like, well, I think because like she was saying that like it was darker than usual. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's why she said it. No, I totally missed that. I thought she was just like providing random context.

No, and I'm not saying Anaya is going to be like Alandria in terms of like fame and success. I just mean like in terms of living in the villa with Casey and Tierra and being like, but why do you feel that way about me? And like sort of still holding on to this hope when like Casey is like, I picked Tierra.

Well, she has an amazing guy, that Carl, when he was teaching her Mandarin and Chinese. It was so fucking cute. And I just think she's gonna— I know she's gonna fuck it up. Yeah, I know she's gonna fuck it up. It's like watching a train wreck in real time. He's so sweet. He's 6'4", okay? I just know she's gonna— when she said, I miss my man Jackie, My man, he was never your man. What's to miss? Like, it's almost like when you get kidnapped and you miss, like, you miss the kidnapping.

Stockholm syndrome.

Yes, like it was so miserable, but like it's the comforting place that you know when you just want to go back to it.

I think all four OG couples are like that.

Yes, I think it's very hard to leave your OG couple. I agree, like psychologically, if we're talking about the psychological part of this experiment.

And I don't know if the Casa girls and boys can do enough in a couple days to override the syndrome.

Yeah, is this Casa longer than usual?

It just started.

It's all week. No, I know, but they said it's going to be all week. They've released a schedule.

Great.

Is it usually like a week long, or is it like 2, 3 days?

No, probably a week. They gotta milk it. They rented that other house. They probably a week-long rental.

I feel like the longer it is, the more likely that someone could leave their couple. Yes. All right, well, that was our show. I feel like I literally didn't get a word in, so maybe tomorrow your voice will be gone more and I could finally do like my dreams of having a solo episode while you're just merely in the room. But that quite literally didn't happen.

I probably still won't have a voice tomorrow, so it'll be like this. You have another shot.

I just want to say I hated doing the stories. Like, I feel like I was so busy, I was so frazzled.

Um, honey, We should have chat read the stories.

Chat?

Like, you know how you can do like an article, click to press play, and it reads the story out loud?

Yeah, but our own— but then we wouldn't have like the mispronunciations, like the fun along the way.

Yeah, yeah, but we wouldn't have to—

it's the worst part of the show.

Well, I can't read them tomorrow, but maybe we could have like audio.

No, I would like— I know Reese Witherspoon wants me to use AI, but I just won't. Okay, thank you guys so much for listening to the Rose and Lana Morning Show.
