Transcript of Mother's Day at the Business Center: Thursday, May 7th, 2026 New

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 just like that, I'm back to Lovin' Jert again. Hey, Jert, how you dirt?

I'm dirtin' good, thank you for asking, co-jurner. What's your truth?

My truth is that this morning I'm feeling so loved.

Really? What's the cause of this love?

My sister, Miss Foley.

Me.

I'm still feeling like so deeply moved that you bought me that mahjong set from Walmart, so I just want to share that Jackie and I were talking yesterday on the podcast about how like this viral set of mahjong tiles from Walmart like is selling out everywhere. I was gonna drive to Teterboro tomorrow to go get it. There was one left at the Walmart in Teterboro. $79, you get a set of tiles, 4 racks, a mat, and the cutest darn bag I've ever seen.

The cutest mahjong bag I've ever seen. I was really doing it for that. You guys were here for the convo yesterday where we both talked about like our interest in this set.

So of course, like, where there's a will, there's a way. I got a set. I got a swirly over in Maryland who purchased it for me, and it's on its way via UPS thanks to AJ's mom. Okay, forgetting that for me. But unbeknownst to me, my sweet sister was thinking about me. I could cry. It's so— I'm obviously in like a luteal phase. Like, it's so sweet. I'm so— I'm overcome.

I had like a big plan. I literally hid you from my Instagram story yesterday because I posted that I got the set And then I was going to tell the world, and I got Claudia one too, and I'm going to surprise her on the toast. But I knew someone would fucking spoil it for me. I just didn't want you to see that I got the set yet. And then I was going to overnight the set to you and then have your production coordinator—

look how much thought she put in.

Like, she gifted to you live on the show. Gifted to you live on the show.

She loves me so much. I would have— and I just want to let you know, I'm so mad because I would have literally— I would have started crying. Like, I— to be so thought of, like, I can't. And like, now we have one extra set. That's so so great. Who should we give it to?

I know, uh, maybe Olivia, but like she already has like a Pajee set from Oh My Mahjong that I don't even think she's ever used because we always play with ours. Like we always set it up, so I would give it to her, but I think it would just sit there. So I'll find a worthy, uh, giveaway.

Giveaway alert. So yeah, I'm just feeling loved. HBO.

Oh, that's so sweet. Um, feeling loved as well. Actually, today's a big day because it's Max's 6-month day. Oh my God, it's a major— I know people do like half a cake, you know, if it's like— we did it, child. It's giving first child.

Yeah, well, my in-laws did for me. It was actually really cute. They had a big sign that said 6 months of foo.

Maybe we should do that. I was planning on like cooking tonight anyway, like making hamburgers and also like making some babies.

You gotta have the photo shoot in the, um, oh my God, what's the word? High chair. Jesus, why would it have a piece of cake? I don't know, like why couldn't I think of the word high chair? I say it 50 times a day.

Why are you yelling at yourself? Because I was frustrated.

I Frustrated. And look, it worked.

You're proud of yourself.

Yeah. Um, well, speaking of milestones, I saw something on TikTok yesterday that made me want to kill myself.

Okay, so I guess we're done talking about Max's 6-month today.

No, but you'll, you'll see it. Ready? Because I guess someone— I'm obviously— my TikTok must know what stage of motherhood I'm in.

Of course they do.

They're targeting me with content. And so this girl's going through the same thing, and she said, how do I, how do I explain to my heart that my positive pregnancy test from 2024 is turning 1 in 2026. I'm gonna kill myself.

Is turning 1? Yeah, from 2024.

The test was in 20 months.

My— oh, you're okay. I thought you meant the stick, because actually the stick is almost 2.

Sure, but the stick is not a person.

No, but I was like Okay, that was confusing. The stick isn't—

it wasn't, um, you're just like refusing to find meaning in my quote.

No, no, I was sad and I thought that was so cute. How do I tell my heart? Like, I was ready.

It is cute, you're just like not smart enough to understand. That's okay.

Sorry for your moronic TikTok content that I didn't get it.

Well, you just don't get it. What's that from? Oh, Carrie, when her— in that second movie, when her and Big start like wanting to spend the weekends apart, and Charlotte's like, well, that's not a marriage. She's like, we just don't get it. Yeah, no, we do. Your marriage is falling apart. No, no, we get it.

Like, Charlotte's still married, but okay, we get it. She gets it.

And then you go and kiss Aidan. You just don't get it.

You just don't get it. Um, yeah, so big day, big day here. I think maybe I will do half a cake. The boys would be thrilled to have another slice of cake after the Good.

I love your cake, Max.

I love your cake, Max.

Max, I celebrated the Sachi last night.

You did? How was her cake, Satch?

Oh, it was delicious, actually. We went to the Polo Bar. Yeah, that's right, my third time this month. Um, and we of course had to indulge in desserts, and so we got the caramel sundae and a warm brownie with ice cream with a little candle. And it was just fucking delicious. I love getting dessert at restaurants.

Yeah, it is nice.

It's an underrated part of the experience.

Yeah. How was Miss Margot?

Miss Margot, you know, no words. Literally no words. I'm speechless. She was great. Any excuse to go out. She was celebrating her birthday. We were cracking jokes. She loved my gift.

Oh, she did. You tell everyone what you got her.

Yeah, so actually I've never seen anyone have it before, but it's like a crossbody phone case from Prada that like you snap your phone into, but it's not like a case. It's, you know, if you've ever connected your phone to like a tripod, it's like a little holder and it has the Prada logo on the back and you can just basically wear just your phone crossbody.

It was sick.

It's very cool, girl. I feel like she probably wanted it like for Coachella or Stagecoach.

She would have enjoyed it for that next year.

There's always next year.

Mhm.

Mhm.

And she's always at a concert or something. She'll find a way to wear it.

Exactly.

Yeah, she loved my present too, the swimsuits, and she didn't get those ones for herself, so she was just like, she's gonna keep all of them.

Parfait.

As she should.

Today feels like a very relaxed day. I feel like we've had like the Met Gala, we've had TV recaps, we've had Dear Toasters. I didn't watch anything last night, like there was nothing on. We're just like chilling.

Yeah, we're chilling. I, I got a massage last night as like a— oh yeah, my pre-Mother's Day, my Mother's Day gift a little early. And I need to stop getting massages. They are just not for me at this stage in my life. I cannot relax. I am so high-strung, and I'm just laying there like thinking of all the things I could be doing. And it's so— it's just not— and it's just a shame because last time we got a massage was our anniversary. We went to a 5-star spa in the middle of the day, and so I was like, what am I doing here in the middle of the day? I have meetings. If I could get these 30 minutes back, I'd be— I wouldn't have to speed while I'm driving. Like, I feel that. So I was like Not getting massage in the middle of the day again. I'm like, you know what sounds good? A massage at the end of the day.

After bedtime.

When my bones are weary, after bedtime, and then I slide into my bed. So that's what I did last night and I still just couldn't enjoy it.

And yeah, I feel like I go through eras where I just can't lay there. I'm not like a big massage person. My husband would get a massage on the side of the road. Like he does not care. He can relax unaffected. No, I'm with you. There's so much on my mind. Like It becomes unrelaxing, then you're just like counting down the minutes. Yeah.

And then it's like, how do I navigate the situation? Should I want to get up early?

Oh, you can't get up early, are you crazy?

I'm gonna get up early sort of gal.

That's crazy.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. That's crazy. No, you can't do that. You have to just take it.

So please remind me next time I book a massage that I don't actually want a massage.

I just know that there are times in your life where you'll be getting massages and you're just not in one right now.

Yeah, no, I'm not.

So now I know.

I've tried it ways. Like, no, we're gonna be on hold, which is sad because I do love the idea of a massage. But like, I'm just like, oh my gosh, I could have been editing The Redheads.

Yeah, a massage is like a young person and an old person thing, like not in between. And we're in the middle right now.

Yeah, you would think though, like, a young mother of 3, physically, like, of course, at the end of the day she just wants her bones rubbed. Like, no, she just wants to sit and scroll.

Absolutely.

And literally answer some emails.

Siddons girl.

Yeah, so we tried.

All right, there's always next year.

Yeah, but don't let me— don't—

I'll make sure.

Give me like an hour. I need an hour blocked of just like in a— in being alone in like a business center.

All right, I'll get you a gift card to the local business center. How does that sound?

Yeah, Office Max.

Literally. No, you need like a membership to like one of those co-working spaces.

Office Max.

Office Max. Maxi. Um, well, happy birthday to Max.

Yeah, get me a membership to WeWork.

Yeah, or like, um, there are a couple of them in the city, like Noia House. I don't know if it still exists, but it was like for young— it was for like young professionals to get together. The Wing. Okay, I'll get you a membership to The Wing, the women's only membership.

That's a working space. That's what I mean, a space where I can work for an hour uninterrupted.

Yep, beautiful.

Really, really romantic gift.

Um, well, I'm sorry that it didn't work out in the way that you had hoped, but there's always next year.

Yeah. When do you leave for your big trip?

Tomorrow.

I was talking to Lish yesterday.

He did get you a present, of course, and I assume that it's to my standards. I'm not even concerned.

Forget what it— if he told me what it was I forgot. I feel like he might have skipped right over it and said— I said, did you get her something? And he said, yeah, this is— I think this is what he said. He said, yeah, he did get you present. But then he said, and we're taking a trip. And then I started like talking more about the trip, so I never asked what you got.

Okay, that doesn't like—

I know, I'm trying to think.

That doesn't sound—

do you want to find out?

No, no, no, no, no. You know what, I'm going to—

he got you a— no, no, we were worried he wasn't going to get you something. And the thing about—

we were— I was never concerned about that.

The thing about Lish is that, like, he actually always overdoes it. You actually—

that's what I'm telling you, I'm not concerned.

No, but you said on the show like he better get you— like, you're worried that he doesn't realize that this is such a milestone.

Yeah, well, I've been really hyping up the trip and how excited I am, so like hopefully he's just been taking my subtle hints. I really am so excited, but like I've never traveled with a child before. Like, my checklist is overwhelming. Like, like I gotta bring everything, you know?

Oh, is the hotel like kid-friendly where they have cribs and and things.

I'm not sure. They probably have a crib.

You don't have to bring it back.

No, no, no, I'm not bringing it back and play. I feel like even like they have cribs at like a Motel 6. It's like a basic human right.

Yeah, like it's like the Bible in the—

I don't feel like I even have to ask. Yeah, it's like the Bible in the drawer. Exactly. It's like a bar of soap.

Are you bringing Romeo?

Jackie, be for real. Are you serious?

I feel like that's the sort of trip like that you bring your dog on.

It's sort of trip maybe you bring for sure, a little staycation. I saw a— the funniest TikTok. It was like postpartum— it was a picture of her like with her stroller pushing her baby and her dog, um, on the leash. And she was like, postpartum mamas, do you ever just let go of the leash? And the comments were like, this makes me so sad. Like, girl, grow up.

Uh, at least she took the dog on a walk.

Crazy comments.

At least she took the dog on a walk.

It's more than I can say with the baby.

That's ambitious.

Ben does it all the time. It makes me so nervous.

Bruno— oh, you can't do this, but like Bruno will go under the stroller in the like carriage.

That's cute.

Yeah, really cute. He was very happy there.

Yeah, if Romeo would chill, I would let him come in the basket. Maybe then he could be invited on trips to the Cape.

Trips to the Cape. Did you see, um, Olivia Culpo's— it's her dog's birthday, and she—

Olivia Culpo and I are just like on different journeys. And what's crazy is that like she's like one of my fellow mamas, like Her, Lauren Elena, we gave birth in like the same month or two, so I really relate to her content and I'm always curious to see what she's up to. And her dog content, like, I genuinely cannot relate to that.

She did like a whole tribute for Oliver Sprinkle's birthday. They made him a 6-pound tomahawk steak for his birthday. Could you imagine?

I can't imagine caring that much. No, no, to make a steak for the dog, to make a carousel, like, that's a lot of work.

Oh no, it's in her stories. I, I don't know if she did carousel too, but it was in her stories. It was actually really sweet.

Well, I'm happy for Oliver.

Sprinkles, maybe.

Is, is she open? Is she taking other fosters?

Like, it would be a loving home for Romeo.

I joke, actually, a couple of days ago we started to let Romeo sleep in our bed. Um, that's been quite nice, actually. I feel like we're— I really want— there is a yearning, like, there's a desire.

You want to have a dog?

No, no, I want to love the dog that I have. Okay. The practical application of policy is making it difficult, but I'm really worried. Like, I would like to just like love Romeo. I loved having a dog. I loved being a dog lover. Like, I don't want to be this curmudgeonly old lady who hates her dog, but like, I hate my fucking dog.

I feel like sleeping in bed together helps.

Yes. No, and he was being really cute. He came up on my pillow.

Like, it's— oh, that's so cute. Like, that's Bruno and I's special time.

Yeah, like, we'll get there. We'll get there. Like, there is a desire. Yeah.

Okay, you will get there. And also, once you see like Ruby and Romeo.

Of course, of course.

Do they play? Do they know each other?

Yeah, of course. Romeo, stop! Romeo! That's literally me all the time.

Ruby thinks his name is Romeo. Stop!

Like, because you know what, when we were in Florida for so long, I really relaxed because, you know, like Romeo was walking on the beach, his feet weren't— yeah, he walks out in the streets, I'm like, get off the mat! Get off the mat!

I'm like, 1000%, get off!

It's disgusting! Get off!

No, no, you're not wrong for that.

I never am.

It's true.

Um, I played mahjong yesterday for so long. Like, we were playing— we play all— like, the group that I play with, we play during nap time, so it's really perfect. Like, it's 2 hours. We all— but like, the 2 hours just like weren't enough, so everybody like brought their kids over to the mahjong room and it was party. We played for like 4 hours.

Fun.

It was.

Did you win?

I did a lot. Not like— it wasn't a landslide.

It wasn't incessant.

Everybody won a bunch. We probably played like 10 games and I won 3.

Okay, that's good.

Yes, I just didn't want to embarrass myself.

No, no, it was, it was a good showing.

Yeah, absolutely. Okay, what else can I tell you?

Well, I guess we could get into the stories if we must. Ugh, I know. Actually, we have like pretty good stories today.

All right, fine. RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

So pregnancy pulls really heavily from your nutrient reserves, and a lot of women actually start pregnancy already low without realizing it.

That's why the prenatals that you take are so important. And Parallel is such a great option whether you're in the conception stage, whether you have conceived, actually, when I was like going to the doctor before I got pregnant, she actually recommended being on prenatals like long before you actually get pregnant. And so Parallel is such a great option. It's actually better to build up the nutrients before you actually need it for pregnancy. So starting early makes you feel calm and proactive. And Parallel is great because it's designed for the not-trying-yet phase. They literally created a conception support pack for this in-between season. It's not just a generic prenatal. It includes nutrients that OBs really prioritize before conception, like CoQ10, DHA, folate, choline. It's founded by a practicing OB-GYN. We love their, um, prenatals. I love that they have different prenatals for different trimesters. You're not just taking the same thing as everyone else for the entire pregnancy. And they're also now covering the time before you get pregnant, which is just as important. Um, they even have vitamins for your man, so you'll both be optimized for conception. There's no downside to starting early. It functions as just a really high-quality daily multivitamin now.

And then if your timeline shifts, no problem, you're just supporting your body with party nutrients. Who wouldn't want that? So if you are pregnant, trying, or postpartum, you definitely have to check out Parallel. We really recommend it.

Thank you, Turtle.

I forgot, just wanted to update everyone, um, the Knicks won last night, which is great for like my shalom bayit. But also, as you guys know, I'm going to the 4th game. So when in the playoffs, like, it's best of 7, so you have to win 4, and the Knicks have won 2 in a row, and I'm going to the 4th game.

So if they win this, like, I have the Possibility going to the championship game.

No, not that. Well, yeah, it's not the championship, but it's like, it could be the one where they move to the next round.

Yeah.

Oh, all games, of course, all games are beautiful.

Oh wait, this is the finals championship. This is the finals.

No, people in New York are so drama. Like we are, we have the worst sports team. So like when we make it, this is literally the second round. Like, but people get like Timothy Chalamet, like, so, but no, it's not even close. Like I think if they win the next round, then they go to the finals. Oh my God.

Kylie, we're far out. Kylie is a saint.

Oh my God, Kylie looked hot last night. And did you see her and Jordan Woods? No, no, like, she— she does. Yes, that's true.

The place is great. It always does.

Did you see her and Jordan Woods celebrating on the court? And then like Timothée like dabbing up Karl-Anthony Towns?

Oh, that's very cute.

Yeah, it was cute. Like, they need to go to dinner.

I'm sure they do.

I don't know, cuz they were both at Fort Charles after the last win, but like at totally different times. Like, they weren't together like that same night. They didn't eat together.

No, I feel like they're— they all get together. Timothée loves Carl, Jordan.

I actually just feel like it's so awkward.

You think it's always going to be awkward between Kylie and Jordan?

Like, first of all, they had a really genuinely unhealthy friendship.

Yeah.

And then like the family just totally dropped Jordan. Like, they did what they had to do, but like in hindsight, like, whatever, you know? Like, it's Tristan.

Like, not whatever.

I know, I know, I know.

That's— it's actually really crazy that she did that and that he did that too. Like Was Khloé pregnant? No, no, that wasn't a pregnant one. No, it was just really— I'm sorry, she's always around like little sis.

Yeah, no, it was nutty for sure. But like, wow, that was such a crazy time. Not to go back there.

It's crazy that that happened. Like, shocking beyond belief.

Like, like, truthfully, we need to start a list of like pop culture moments we've like lived through and reported on that are so crazy. Like, because so many things happen and we move on, but like Megxit, of course. Like, that was insane. Honestly, Jordan Woods, like, 10 whole events of our career. I'm trying to think what else.

Scandaval and Westman.

Yes, we're living through a couple right now.

Taylor Frankie Paul Bachelorette cancelation was unlike anything we've ever experienced.

Yeah, I bet we could also tell from like our most listened to— a Taylor on the field, licks versus likes. Yeah, we're living through history. Also, I have my whiteboard, but we did, we did teeter on like talking about on Monday.

What did we do?

We were talking about Formula 1. Stassi.

No, I'm sorry, that wasn't— that's not us like incessantly bringing it up. Like, that's just the news of the day. I think, I think we're in the clear, honestly.

Well, no, we have a couple of like milestones coming up where we will unfortunately have to talk about it because that Vanity Fair article, as far as I know, is still in the works, which kind of makes me think that like they don't have a lot on him. I think it's like a Matt Kaplan hit piece that they've been working on now. For quite a while because I've spoken to people who have been reached out, like, now for weeks, and I feel like if they had a lot, they would post it, publish it.

Also, it's very weird that everyone knows that this article is forthcoming and, like, there's no article.

Maybe the article was the friends we made along the way.

Maybe it was.

No, but, like, it is, like, when— alleged—

aside, like, that rarely happens where, like, usually when someone has, like, a hit piece, it's It's kind of like out of nowhere and it's like bam, you know?

Well, no, actually, when somebody has a hit piece, the person who's— it's being written about does know.

The person is being written about, but the whole world knows that it's coming? No.

Well, maybe we wouldn't have if this story hadn't blown up with Alex Earle, because now like everyone's just sharing everything they know. And what they know is like a fun fact. Oh, you know, my high school friend got reached out to because she went to college with Matt Kaplan.

Yeah, I don't know, I just feel like they're losing their momentum at this rate. Whatever they're gonna write is probably not as salacious What?

Well, the fact that they're like now like still reaching out to people for the first time, like looking for testimonials, doesn't really make me feel like confident that they have got anything juicy. Because if they did, like, they wouldn't need to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for like round 4 of interviews.

Yeah, yeah, I, I think it's time to move on.

Yeah, or just release it.

Yeah, no, and also like us, like, I'm not, I'm not waiting for it, you know. It's like waiting for rain in the drought.

Absolutely like Waiting for Reading the Shroud. Perfect, perfect movie reference.

Okay, our first story: Summer House star Wes Wilson addresses his private photos leaking on the worst day of his life.

Oh, I didn't know that.

So Wes was on his podcast that he's still doing, credit to him, um, and he said, I know my fucking nudes leaked, but guess what, it's like the sixth worry of mine right now.

That's funny. Yeah, it's actually—

he's having a really good approach to it. He told his co-host that he has a lot of shit going on, but that he's going to own that the pictures are of him. He said they're not even sexual, they look medical. Um, yeah, they do.

That's really funny.

He said, I'm soft in all of them. I don't even know if the other two are me. He confirmed the photos were taken in his old apartment, but he couldn't remember how old they are. He said, I had a sauna by my bathroom and I would always get out of the sauna and double-check or check progress. Um, he said his friend texted him about it 5 minutes before he walks on stage at the Summer House reunion. That's a bad friend. He said, I was like, motherfucker, I know I've had the worst day of my life already, which is good to know that's behind me. He said he's laughing about the situation because if not, he'll fucking cry. He said Manscaped partnership down the road.

Oh, oh, oh. Now here's the thing, I did see the pictures and I would never discuss them. You did? I'm Taka Jahari, but I would never order.

Didn't you bring them up on the show?

Oh yeah, I was like saying in like a, like a reprehensible way, like people are sending them to me, like stop.

Well, the thing is, when this stuff leaks and, and it comes across my desk, I don't know if like I'm seeing it just because like I'm an insider and like I, I am privy to these things, or has the whole world seen it? I don't know. I guess so.

Yeah, so the whole world had seen it. And so while I think, you know, it's terrible, I like his approach. Absolutely. I love his approach, um, and I don't feel like he needs to explain himself, but I appreciate him letting everyone know that he was soft because I feel like that's just like an important detail.

I, I didn't look closely enough to even know like if they were flattering, unflattering.

They were— I like his use of the word medical. Yeah, they felt very clinical. Yeah, like they were not—

I'm sure you send your doctor to be like, hey, is this normal?

Is this normal? Um, yeah, so I don't know. What's funny is that like he has a podcast and like we're all dying to hear from him. We're like, everyone's itching at the leaks. Like it's like— and he literally is sitting down weekly on his podcast talking about all the stuff that we would hope he would talk about, and it's still not compelling enough to get me to listen to it. I don't know anybody— like the clips even on TikTok, like they're not viral where he's like sitting there talking about the reunion. I'm like, I would actually love to hear you talk about this, but oh, it's on your podcast.

No can do.

Yeah, it's just not gonna work.

Yeah, but, um, I, I don't know, I think he's handling it actually in like a refreshing sort of way of just like business as usual.

So it seems like some owners, they both are like taking a very like candid, funny approach to their coming back. Like Amanda posted like a mirror picture and was like, boo, which is like a funny caption. Yeah, so like, I don't know, I feel like they have this united approach to like be funny. Or just like be light.

Yeah, and I think there's not really a right way to do it because I don't know if it can even be done. I actually don't know.

I know, so it remains to be seen.

Might as well like try something that's not like totally like debasing to yourself, you know? Other people just like engage in like literal self-harm for months online. I'm the worst.

Yeah, and they'll post like themselves doing a sound bath, being like working on reflecting and doing better.

It's like, okay, like Tom Sandoval went to Miraval, Raquel like to another state and she went to an institution. Yeah. And it's like, or you could just go to the Yankees game and take a selfie.

Yeah. Like, either way, the world— I kind of like—

either way, the world hates you, so like, enjoy your life.

Yeah, absolutely. I agree. Yeah.

Um, okay, next story. Oh, very exciting content news. El teaser trailer. Legally Blonde prequel takes Elle Woods back to high school. So we finally got a trailer for the Legally Blonde prequel series that is coming out out on Amazon this summer. Prime Video released a trailer for Elle, and it gives a glimpse into the life of a high school-aged Elle Woods. The premise is that, you know, she's Elle from Bel-Air as we all know her, and then her dad like gets a job in Seattle and she has to go fall on hard times. She has— oh, is it hard times, or like it's a good job and he has to move to Seattle?

No, I think they fall on hard times.

So they moved to Seattle for high school, and then she's like, you know, with all these green hair um, in high school when she's like, you know, Elle Bubbly Pink.

And the premise is great, although like, I want to exist in the Elle Bubbly Pink universe. Like, the trailer, when it was like in Bel Air, I was like, yes, yes! And then they go to Seattle, I'm like, okay, what is this, Twilight? Like, I want the Pargy Pink vibe.

Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. And what, she's gonna like learn to thrive in Seattle?

I have hope because it does sound very similar to one of my favorite prequel shows, which is The Carrie Diaries, where we take Carrie Bradshaw's you know, childhood in, I believe, Connecticut, um, and make it into a series played by Anna Sophia Robb, starring love interest Austin Butler. Literally one of the best shows ever. And it had like literally nothing to do with Carrie Bradshaw. It's, it's not her. Like they just both had curly hair and like liked purses. Um, so this is giving that.

Yeah, it's just like a fish out of water story, but it looks to be like done to a T. Very cute.

Like, well done.

Very real. I will for sure be watching. It releases on July 1st.

Yeah, and also I feel as though in the Legally Blonde universe, the fans have been promised a lot over the years. It was the sequel. Mindy Kaling was doing Legally Blonde 4, and now there's a prequel. You know, there's a trailer. I see, I see it's actually been filmed, so for that I'm grateful because—

yeah, and it's already—

Legally Blonde fans have been, uh, kind of left hanging.

It's already been renewed for season 2, which I feel like means it's really good. Yeah.

Is Reese Witherspoon involved?

I believe so, because I remember when they did the search for, um The star, like she was involved in it.

Yeah, this girl's a cutie. She's a newbie. Yeah.

Yes, her name is, um, Lexi Mindtree.

You know, if Elle was Jewish and she was still living in Bel Air during the time of her bat mitzvah, her grade theme would be Bel Air.

That's really beautiful.

That's what I do. I think of fictional bat mitzvah themes.

It is like what you do.

Yeah, it's like so fun. We love thinking about bat mitzvah themes. Give me someone else. Cher Horowitz. Had she had a bat mitzvah?

Well, she's US.

She probably had a bat mitzvah. What do you think her theme was? She like wasn't really into Cher.

She's like into fashion. No, she was named after Cher the singer.

Named— oh, so I could see her mom making like Cher the theme.

Yeah. Or like something with fashion, of course.

Yes, Cher's Closet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody goes home with like a sweater.

Classic, classic stuff. Are you ready for our next story?

Third? No, I guess.

Yeah, a little rumored new couple news. Taylor Fritz was reportedly spotted getting cozy with Olivia Jade after his recent split from his girlfriend of 6 years, Morgan Riddle.

Okay, this is so crazy.

Taylor Fritz is like a top 5 US tennis player.

American.

Yes.

And we talked about this a couple of weeks ago, that the rumor mill was swirling that him and his longtime girlfriend, influencer Morgz, had broken up. Then like she kind of debunked the rumor. It was everywhere. She debunked it on Instagram and then they broke up the next day. So I don't know if it was like a curse or it was true at the time or it wasn't true, whatever. She like moved to New York and is making like scorned girl content, whatever. On to Olivia Jade and Taylor Fritz. Now I want to say I love this for Olivia Jade because like seriously, fuck Jacob Elordi. Fuck him, okay? But I actually, I get the vibe that he's like an asshole. Like I don't know why, I just feel like he's not a nice guy, just purely based on vibes. I have no personal experience. Like I just feel like he's not a good boyfriend. And also, doesn't he have a child?

He has a child.

And I just feel like that's not congruous at this moment with what Olivia Jade needs.

He needs a mother.

Yeah, like she's literally 12 years old.

Yeah. Um, I don't know anything about his personality. I don't catch a vibe any which way. However, I think it takes a certain type of person to be at that level.

And that's— oh yes.

And it's not the sort of person that's gonna be great boyfriend material. One, because of the dedication that you need to be like singularly focused on your craft. And two, because when you're at the top of the world, like, yeah, you're probably gonna be an asshole with the whole world kissing your feet.

No, even if you are raised right and like you're not an asshole, you're right. Like the dedication that it takes to operate at like one of the highest levels of performance, like doesn't really lend itself to being like a supportive partner.

And it's like tennis is not, unless you're playing like doubles or whatever, it's a singular sport. It's not a team sport. Like at least football players, like they have to work with other people. They have to credit other people. Like, true. You know, it's a, it's, they're teammates. They're, they're, they know how to operate as a team. When you're like a solo dolo, I think you can become like really insulated.

I just know that nobody on the planet is having a better month than Paige Lorenz. Like the two of them were fighting for like queen bee of the US Open and now like one of the bees has left the hive. Like she's not even a part of it anymore. So I just know that this is a great day to be Paige Lorenz. So congrats, you won.

Congrats is yours. Also, I wonder if like Olivia does become a tennis wag and like is doing the circuit and then if like her and Paige do become friends because Taylor and Tommy are friends, they're doubles partners.

Right. The reason why Paige Lorenz and No, I don't know.

I think they played together at the Olympics. I may have just made that up.

Oh, maybe at the Olympics. It was always weird that the girlfriends weren't friends, not only because they look alike and they act like they clearly have the same interests, but their mans are also friends. Yeah, I had heard that it got so bad that like the mans started getting involved. Like, that's what I heard.

But so this could be a new leaf for Tommy and Paige and Taylor and Olivia.

It's just also like a stunt for Olivia. Like, I loved when Olivia started dating Jacob Elordi because everybody was like, college admission scandal. And I was like, sorry, I'm more involved than that. And I love that, like, Jacob gave her, like, something else for people to talk about. And now, like, Jacob's moved on, and, like, she— I feel like he definitely was not a good boyfriend to her either. I just get that vibe. So I love that she's able to, like, stunt, because he's the biggest movie star, so she couldn't, like, date another movie star. But yeah, sure, okay, I'll date, like, the number one American tennis player. Fine, fine.

But don't you feel like, as far as, like, if we're really rooting for Olivia Jade to, like, find a great relationship, it's, like, too soon for Taylor Fritz to be actually dating someone they broke up last week? A girlfriend of 6 years.

Yeah, no, this is not her guy. I don't think that they're going to end up together, and I don't ship at all, but I love this for her star.

Yeah, and for her story.

Absolutely.

But I do have concerns. Like, that's really quick.

No, she needs to eventually— like, in a few years, once like she's made her name, she needs to go to the Sophia Richie Grange Institute of Technology and find an Elliot Grange.

Yeah, a businessman who can sort of like bankroll her socialite life. Yeah. Also, we got a couple of funny comments for Businesswoman of the Week this week.

Nicole Sanchez Bezos.

For Lauren Bezos Sanchez. Nicole, I think that she is that. She's actually like one of the greatest businesswomen of our time. I think of our time, wealthiest woman in the country.

But you guys aren't ready for that conversation.

No, you're not. And you're not ready to learn from her yet. No.

And yeah, that's why she's where she's at and where we're at.

Like, no, not we.

Like, no, not us. Not us.

You Not you guys because you listen to the Toast and you're sounding fine.

Yeah, but like the others. Oh, those people. I like that. Like over there.

Not in the camera. Not the ones in the camera that I'm talking to. The ones over there.

I got my nails done. Do you like my firecracker red nails?

I do. I need a manicure.

Name that movie. Name that movie.

I should have gotten an at-home manicure last night. Life-Size.

Yeah, every time I get red nails I feel like Tyra Banks. Do you like my firecracker red nails?

You're welcome.

Our next story— guess who got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

Emily Blunt.

Josh.

Oh no, Stanley Tucci. Oh, also good.

Josh Groban unveils his Hollywood star with David Foster and his fiancée, because I guess he's engaged to a lady.

I think I knew that one time because I only recently found out Josh Groban was Jewish, which like is a red flag for me when I just find out you're Jewish and I like know you're white for so long.

Don't look into it.

I know, I don't want to say anything bad about Josh Groban because I absolutely love him, but like that's happened to me a few times where like I'll find out someone is Jewish and it actually makes me hate them because it's like, how did I not know you were Jewish? And I hate to say it, but Paul Rudd. It's like, that means you're never talking about the fact that you're Jewish. Yeah, yeah, it's giving ashamed, just saying.

Yeah, no, there's definitely like, like gripes you can have with Josh Groban. I wasn't gonna bring them up on his big day, like I was just— no, of course not.

But like, literally this just happened to me with an influencer I was following, and like the content was starting to annoy me, and then I found out he was Jewish. I'm like, you're kidding me.

Oh yeah, you're kidding me.

You make a video about—

you unfollowed him because he's Jewish? Because he's— yeah, because he's Jewish.

You make a video 5 times a day about everything in your life, and I never knew you were Jewish. Bye. Unfollow.

You unfollowed because he's a Jew?

Yeah, I don't follow Jews like that.

Well, this Jew got us—

I'll let it pass because your talent is sublime.

Well, yeah, it's just like his big day, so we can make it about like the body of work, you know. We could, um, and not like the man.

So it's always interesting to see who people bring to their Hollywood Walk of Fame. Like, I think a lot of it is like, you know, business stuff, but a lot of it is very personal. Josh Gad coming like as a Beauty and the Beast truther.

Yes. And means the world. Also, they were classmates at Carnegie Mellon University.

You're kidding.

Yeah. And David Foster is his mentor.

I didn't know that.

You didn't know David Foster actually discovered him?

I might have, cuz I watched a documentary on—

yeah, remember David Foster discovered him as like a stand-in for Andrea Bocelli.

Yes, yes, yes.

And then he was like, took him under his wing and made him a big star.

Did David Foster have a documentary? Yes, that's where I learned that. Also, Martin Short has a documentary that just came out, I think last night. I would, I would love to see it. Apparently he's like a devastating personal life.

Oh, interesting.

Like filled with tragedy, and he's just like never stopped being this like big funny guy.

Yeah, there's a little funny guy. A lot of news from the premiere. The premiere happened.

So sorry, back to Josh Groban. You just remind me of something because, you know, like literally the movie that means the most to me in this world is the recently, uh, adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, the live-action version, the live-action. And of course, one of our favorite moments is of course Gaston. Yeah, we harmonized. And I don't know if you've been seeing Luke Evans, who plays Gaston, who's like an OG theater actor. Like, if you're in the theaters, he obviously does a lot of movies, but like, he's known for theater. He is in the, um, new— I don't know if it's Broadway, Off-Broadway adaptation of, uh, Rocky Horror Picture Show. And he plays— and I, I don't know, this is the name of the character, and he sings a song.

It's—

I, I don't know if it's like a slur, but like, it's the transvestite song.

Like, that's what the song is called, the transvestite song.

And he's like— he plays like this crossdresser, and it's such a departure from Gaston. Like, he's— he has insane range because I didn't even recognize him at first. They performed on Jimmy Fallon like the cast. Oh my God, I was shook. I'm like, is that Gaston? Is that Gaston? Why wasn't Luke Evans there? Oh, because he's on Broadway.

Yeah, but also Josh Gorman just did a song for the movie.

He probably wasn't on set.

I know, but he did like an—

he did an important song.

Oh no, no, no, his role to the movie is integral for the viewers, but I don't think he was on set with the actors.

I know. He actually could have been the Beast.

He could have, but Dan Stevens did a lovely job.

Well, they had to kill him off in Downton Abbey— spoiler alert— so he could get the gig.

I think it was worth it, even though I miss Matthew. And I was sort of like—

he's literally not in the movie because he's under a mask the whole time as the Beast.

Yeah, it could have been anyone like doing the Beast, and then he could have just been in the beginning and the end for one day.

He could show up for one day.

Yeah. And like, then I feel like things went downhill for Mary after that.

Like, it was obviously—

no, but it was never the same. Like, even though she had like great moments, like nothing was as good as Mary and Matthew.

That was such a big mistake. Like, I'm sorry. Yeah, sorry, not to get— so why was Josh Gad there?

Classmates.

Yeah, I guess they're classmates.

They came up together.

Who else?

Who's engaged to a woman named Natalie McQueen? Okay, I know I don't know her.

Um, me neither.

And Ben Schwartz, who's that? His Coffeetown co-star.

Excuse me.

Okay, Mazel Tov to Josh Groban.

I just think that like the, uh, requirements that you need to meet to get a star on the Walk of Fame like really confuse me.

Yeah, I agree, but he's like very— he, he's very successful and storied and like he's in some echelon of like greatness, I would say.

But yeah, but Hollywood, I feel like he's more like Broadway.

Yeah, and like he's more of a singer, less of an actor. But I guess, yeah, due to his Broadway contributions, Sweeney Todd.

Yeah, but then it's crazy that Stanley Tucci got one last week. Like, I don't know, I feel as though he would have been eligible weeks ago, months ago, years ago.

I, I don't know, right? I guess it's contributions to entertainment. Like Andy got one, he's never acted.

Yeah, yeah, fine, fine, fine.

Yeah, I think it's pretty well-rounded.

Yes, yes.

Our fifth and final story is some sports news. Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will not run in the Preakness Stakes.

Yeah, so they can't be Triple Crown—

no Triple Crown winner this year because, uh, Golden Tempo, who just won the Kentucky Derby, will be taking off of the Preakness. His female trainer said, we are incredibly appreciative of the—

excuse me, his female trainer— his trainer, she doesn't like to be referred to as that. Did you see her?

No, I didn't, but I was just saying that not because but just like for anyone who's listening, just as a reminder that it was like the female trainer.

Yeah, she was asked about it on Jenna and Chanel, and then also on Dave Portnoy. She was like, it's great that like young girls can look up to me, but like I'm just a trainer, so like stop calling me the girl trainer.

I understand. I wasn't saying it in a way that— I just wanted to recall for people like that his trainer wasn't—

you know why we're reporting on this—

who made herstory. No, of course.

But according to her, like she really doesn't care, and she's just one of the guys. Like, she's not like other girls. Oh, she's literally ad-libbing.

That's cute. So his trainer said, we are incredibly appreciative of the excitement and support surrounding the possibility of a Triple Crown run. Golden gave us the race of a lifetime in the Kentucky Derby, and we believe the best decision for him moving forward is to give him a little more time following such a tremendous effort. His health, happiness, and long-term future will always remain our top priority. So Golden Temple is actually the third Derby winner in the past 5 years to not enter into the Preakness. A lot of horses that run the Preakness do not— that run the Derby do not run the Preakness anymore because they're so close together. There's actually talk in the horse world of pushing back about separating them. Yeah, but it's like, well, Secretariat could do it. American Pharoah did it. Yeah, like, not to be insensitive, but I just don't think we should lower the bar.

But like, how long do you need to recover from like a 4-minute race?

I know, I, I don't, I don't know. Um, but it's like, they used to be—

there's something they're not telling us.

No, they used to be able to do it. Like, let's not lower them. I was supposed to be getting better and better. You know, advancements in medicine and horse care and horse training, like, you're gonna make it easier? I don't know. I like— it's just a shame that they set it up this way to begin with. It seems stupid.

Yeah, absolutely.

But, but it can be done in the past. It can be done. American Pharoah did in 2015 and Justify in 2018.

And so maybe— what's the horse's name?

Golden Tempo.

Maybe Golden Tempo isn't the girl that I thought she was.

It's true. Also, apparently, like, none of the horses that ran the Derby are running the Preakness. Because they're all like taking off.

Okay, so like that's annoying.

Yeah, yeah.

I just feel like some of the steam has been taken out of the Preakness now. Like, it's not gonna be as fun.

Of course, we're not rooting for a Triple Crown.

And what's the third one?

Uh, the Belmont. New York? Yeah.

I should go.

You should go. Is it always at Belmont Race Track? Because this year the Preakness is like not at the Preakness because I guess the Preakness is under construction.

Oh, they're doing reno. I mean, they literally have all year to do it, but okay. Yeah, do it.

It's literally a patch of dirt, but okay, sure.

Yeah, okay, sure, construct it.

Funny. Yeah, the Preakness— oh, the Belmont is taking place at Saratoga. It's hosting Belmont for a third and final time this year. The Belmont's under construction. Yeah, it's kind of old.

Yeah, cuz when I was thinking of Belmont, I'm like, not that rusty old place we used to drive by. Yeah, yeah, it's like disgusting.

I once went It was like not fabulous.

I am not surprised to hear that you didn't have a good time.

Oh, I actually— yeah, I had a really bad time.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, it was not for me. You know, know thyself.

What was so bad about it and what were you there for?

Well, we went with all my college friends. We went for— who was the one that year?

There was like a horse.

Yeah, California something something. It was a big like exciting one. I don't think he won. It was like his chance at the Triple Crown. And my whole like college gang was going, so I went and just like train, day drinking, train was not for me. Train. Yeah, a lot of train, a lot of drinking. I was wearing the wrong shoes.

What shoes were you wearing?

It was actually sneakers, but they didn't have an arch.

Oh, you are seriously such a grandma. You wore the wrong shoes? Sneakers?

I think it was Converse.

I just remember like really notoriously uncomfortable, really feeling flat-footed that day. I actually do know what you mean, like, but you sound insane.

I need a bit of support for my arch.

Yeah, absolutely.

Um, so yeah, I'm glad they're fixing up the Belmont, all to say, because it was not glamorous. Yucky, yucky. So those are the Fast Five stories I feel as though you needed to know.

And it's giving the Safi—

is it Nassaf?

55 minutes.

Oh, let's keep going then. Oh, actually, a story I didn't choose but like I want to talk about it and I'm gonna take this as a sign to bring it up. Yeah, another update in Mike Frabel and Diana Rossini's affair.

Thank you so much for listening to the Toast of the Morning Show.

We're doing the fast, fast.

Okay, what, they rented a boat while she was pregnant?

They rented a boat 2 months before she gave birth. And what's crazy is like, of course they were carrying on an affair while she was pregnant, pregnant, potentially, allegedly his child. But like the people from the boating place like released their waivers where you see like where they signed, like that's like kind of fucked up.

It is kind of fucked up.

Um, so two things can be true. Like, they should not have done that, but like, she was 8 months pregnant, like, cruising with her mans. That's crazy work.

It's obviously their baby.

It's crazy. It just keeps getting crazier. Um, this is a year, and I want to thank you.

I want to thank you for not choosing it.

I— yeah, no, I wasn't gonna—

no matter how hard like Liz P. Woods tries, like, you're not gonna get me to care about these people. I didn't know who they were before.

It's— I don't care about these people because I don't really know who they are, but like the— this like 6 long years affair where they're married and there's children and they just like keep— it actually sounds like a movie, you know? Yeah, like why not just be together? I don't understand. You obviously love each other, right? What's stopping you aside from your like spouses, right?

That's a big one.

Yeah.
