Welcome back to the Toast, and happy Monday. Hope everybody had a festive and fun weekend. We are your viral podcasters, Jacks, Claude, also known as, oh my god, we're so viral, Julianne, Derek, Carrie-Anne.
Carrie-Anne?
Oh my god, Carrie-Anne.
What is she saying?
Oh, no, no, no. We have received comments from Julianne, Derek, silence from Carrie-Anne, and I can't lie, I understand, like, I wasn't expecting to hear from her, and I think it's for the best that we don't.
I agree.
But our Halloween episode was so well received.
It was.
It was probably the most fun I've personally ever had.
had in years everyone loved it i feel like we really have you know sort of re-cemented our
place as the queens of podcast halloween and it's just been a great weekend being viral you know
yes it has been we had the huff siblings approval which meant the world and we were worried about
that yeah but i think we did them justice of course we did and then we had a fantastic
hollow weekend it was a great halloween weekend hope everybody trick or trait ate oh my god i
ate so much candy did you when i got home from halloween i was starving when i got home from
halloween i was gonna throw up like an actual four-year-old like who ate too much and also
like the party we went to had like ice cream and pizza and like i was eating churros oh my god i
ate i was gonna vomit i was like actually going to vomit i didn't get a churro so maybe i had a
churro because i was seriously ravenous fantastic churro because with trick-or-treating like when
do you eat dinner and the kids don't really eat dinner because they're just like excited and they
eat a lot of candy and that it's just you know
it is what it is for the one night a little red 40 got in there it is what it is i saw jackie like
pulling candy from the basket nerds gummy clusters i don't fucking think so just the
the things with dyes in them no of course nerds gummy clusters and nerds gummy clusters like are
i think statistically like the worst candy like ingredients but i'm actually letting them keep
the most delicious things the Reese's chocolate bars the lollipops but i'm sorry like if i see
dots like i'm tweaking it is the time of year
where like those videos go viral if like either kids acting like menaces or you know the bowl is
empty let me fill it up with my basket have you ever seen so fucking cute and i just want to say
like halloween has weirdly become this like morality test of like ethics um because you see
like people like actually like not only stealing all the candy like damaging private property in
the process like in the age of ring cameras what are you doing yeah then you also see like oh the
person who comes after them picking up the pieces to put it back together it's literally like an
american it's like such a classic american tale honestly it really is it's a classic american
tradition it's so fun especially like with kids and as they get older and they can just like
appreciate it more it's so cute like especially kids you know what i just want to say you know
what i was thinking about over the weekend that episode of kardashians where they're planning like
one of the kids birthday parties and courtney's like well candy land but like all the candy needs
to be like organic or whatever the way i felt like such shit after eating candy i was like
honestly corny kardashians onto something like if you want to have the means to make a candy land
theme where everything is like made of beets and organ like why wouldn't you and it's like yum earth
yeah skittles why wouldn't you no agreed because the idea of actually having a real candy bar with
like unlimited candy is insane my nightmare insane yeah i watched actually all the kardashians i'm
fully caught up i wish i didn't hear your recap because like i knew everything that was about to
happen the sandwich coming in my mouth and like i you feel the same way about it i wasn't able
to experience it because i just had your preconceived notion but did you enjoy that threesome
no newness oh right newness i tried to tell you oh my god and ben actually came in during that part
and i was like embarrassed to be watching it yeah um and ben was like i forgot how much i
love this show like we were cracking up first of all chris jenner now i'm gonna spoil something for
you in the next episode because i know you didn't watch episode four they go to solving it's like so
boring you know they visit the bakery that makes all their gingerbread houses that go viral every
christmas um and they do like a date night her and corey and she's like just can't believe i'm
at the solving bakery the girl you can go anywhere in the world she keeps saying i can't leave them
here can't move them here like it's literally a two-hour car ride from your house like you've been
to japan like so then after they go they make gingerbread houses and then they go on like a
little date to a winery and chris what she said it was so funny i could not stop laughing she was
like obviously drunk because she had been drinking and she was like i just feel like i'm on the
bachelor they did like pull up to this like really bachelor looking date with like a red carpet and a
vineyard she was like i feel like i'm in the bachelor and i just know i'm gonna be sent home
like it was so funny i'm like how do you know lingo from the bathroom they love the bachelor oh my god
chris is carrying the show golden bachelor come and kendall was freaking you know i feel like they
go through eras where like different girls carry the show like chloe carried it for a while i'm
telling you chris is carrying the show she was she gets her own thing now like her own chapter
it used to be like the girls and she would like pop into the girls she got her own thing and i
was enjoying her and corey and solving i was okay i'll have to watch i will watch it was seriously
hilarious i've been genuinely boring the o's perlman stuff but oh i love oh he comes back
the follow-up i know it wasn't good but and not that making o's look bad but oh i think they
overestimated what o said yeah and they also like are getting confused he's not a psychic or a and
he wasn't saying like something amazing's gonna happen he said she's gonna call you and say
the craziest thing happened yeah but then he manufactured the craziness right
so you're not a mentalist you're like a schemer just don't even
don't insult o's like that well they made o's look bad that's all i'm saying
i guess but they also hyped it up so much like they thought chloe was gonna get married in a week
like how many times do you call me and say oh my god the craziest thing happened and it's not that
crazy i don't know i don't when our sister olivia calls and says i have the craziest news like
seriously don't move she's so drama she's always standing she always says do you guys want to die
and i stopped getting excited like years ago because she's like i just found out this girl
from high school i'm like who cares if i say do you guys want to die i feel like i'm i i try to
reserve my good stuff yeah but you'll say like the craziest things just happen or like and it's like
ben getting in a car a road rage fight i guess that's that oh ben did get into a road rage fight
during halloween somebody accused him of drunk driving like and he spent the whole trip talking
about it telling the story but we kept getting interrupted by like trick-or-treating so like
every time i came back to the group he was restarting the story let me tell you what happened
i never heard the end of this he was like merging in a lane he was in a golf cart and the person
there was a lot of traffic in the neighborhood everyone was trying to you know trick or treat
and so he's merging and obviously you know merging is tough he like swerved in front of the car you
know you're in a golf cart you think and so i don't know if he was like he was probably wrong
for like not letting the lady go aggressive yeah and then the lady honked at him and ben was just so
aghast that someone in a regular car would honk at a golf cart person because like have you ever
stood in front of a car when it's honking it's the loudest thing in the world
he pulled over got out of the golf cart and rolled up and went to her window because everything was
standstill traffic so and she rolls down the window she was like are you drunk he was like
am i drunk are you nuts like he i don't know how it like like wound up i think they just like called
it quit and ben like alerted like one of the cops be like that lady's nuts honestly he sounded like
he was wrong um they both sound nuts although you should really shouldn't honk i actually saw
tick-tock that's really did i tell you this about the tick-tock that i saw about honking yeah it's
changed my my perception i was talking about this with ben over the weekend i'm a big honker like if
you do something even remotely wrong like seriously die like i love to honk and so this tick-tock being
like you're like one honk away from jail or one honk away from the grave like someone can
interpret your honk like these crazy people who like carry guns and knives and just like
literally kill people over road rage you're one bad honk away from like your life changing why jail
you never know if somebody like came at me let's say like oh you if you or like you never know like
you just you never know especially i'll say in florida of course you do not want to mess with
these floridians on the streets no so ever since i thought saw that tick-tock i've been like really
light on the honk there and i saw someone else saying and i have felt that long people people
have long been saying like there needs to be multiple different types of honks well the tesla
has multiple hunks because like i need you to know oh the light is green and we're sitting here
too or i need you to know you tried to kill me i'm gonna kill you like i guess you can
change the length of the honk of course one thing about me i never honk never maybe if we're at the
light and it changed right maybe i'll honk because my tesla told me that the light changed right your
car didn't the volvo does that isn't it amazing you can really daze off i could be staring at
the light and still miss when it changes yeah it's an amazing thing it is let's talk about schedules
like dancing with the stars is on tonight yeah and i'm recording the redheads tonight they've
changed it and busy because of election day tomorrow by the way make sure to get on vote
make a plan grab a snack i have a plan have you have you scheduled a meeting with an elderly to
take them i guess i called olivia oh oh and have you um gotten your umbrella yes actually it's
supposed to rain tomorrow i always keep an umbrella on hand good good good um and so i guess they want
to like not disturb the election coverage so dancing with the stars will be up tonight because
of election coverage yeah because they that makes sense and i just want to say i'm so looking forward
to election day because i haven't even talked about the fact that like watching dancing with
the stars during election season has been one of the great nightmares of my life i know all the
commercials by heart i know the entire i know what's going on in florida i know every like it's
insane i've only watched like three episodes here but i watch live and it's on cable nightmare fuel
like seriously he accepted 2 million from developers like these people are nuts like i and there's the
They're such low blows.
Such low blows.
Doll of honesty still separately.
I don't even know these people.
And someone else was like, Republicans hate him.
Democrats hate him.
And I'm like, oh, my God.
Everybody hates him.
His mother hates him.
Like, I need election time to be over so I can go back to watching Dancing with the Stars
peacefully.
The commercials are actually like nightmare fuel.
Have any candidates stood out to you?
According to like the commercials, they're all terrible.
It's true.
They're like, I'm for Florida.
I'm like, OK, are you?
Like, it's insane.
It's insane.
It's a heated race.
By the way, I can tell you all about it.
And the governorship.
Governor, Congress, I know everything.
But I'm also getting like local city council.
And that's really where it gets drama.
The city council.
They go low.
That's below the belt.
The city council.
For sure.
No, I do have to like make a plan.
I'm getting Botox tomorrow.
So they'll never be able to guess who you're voting for.
So should I vote before?
The Botox?
I guess I'll have to make a plan and see.
Well, I'm like on the map.
And is it on the way to Botox?
You don't want to like overly emote either.
And voting can be an emotional experience.
But I don't want to show up with like needles.
Like, will they?
I guess they let everyone vote, right?
Oh, please.
Right.
I've seen some of the craziest people at the polling place.
Yeah.
Oh, and by the way.
That's the point.
The way that like road rage like shows the worst.
When you're waiting in line to vote.
I've actually gotten into fights at my polling center over like Romeo, of course.
People are such narcs, especially the people that like sign up to be like voting, like
polling places.
Like poll workers.
Which is, by the way, I just want to say like a selfless act, but it does give them like
a sense of entitlement.
And like, yeah, I would never do it.
So like, yeah, I guess technically you are better than me, but like, calm down.
We're all equals here.
Yeah.
Like it kind of shows the worst of people on election day.
I feel like in New York more so.
I've gotten into a lot of fights.
New Yorkers are a tough breed.
And like two elections ago, I was.
And you like to fight, it sounds like.
I was in my first trimester and there was like an air conditioning issue at the polling
center and they were yelling at me about Romeo and I was wearing this big wool coat.
And I had to take a seat and it was just like, I have a lot of voting trauma, but look, I
still show up.
It's so important.
It's pretty relaxed down here, I think.
It's so important, you guys.
But I do have to make a plan.
Thank you for letting, reminding me.
That's what I do.
We're recording Redheads tonight.
We're reading the new book from Barbara Kingsolver.
Does that name mean anything to you?
Does that name mean anything?
It means everything.
Does that mean anything to me?
I literally invented Barbara Kingsolver.
Barbara Kingsolver wrote Demon Copperhead.
A book that won a Pulitzer Prize that I also read.
Probably the only book I have ever or will ever read that also won a Pulitzer.
And enjoyed.
Oh, I loved it so much.
It was so amazing.
So her new book, Partita, just came out.
Oh, I saw you posted it.
I didn't realize it was my girl, Barbara.
Dana's Choice.
I actually had to, I was in the middle of clapping.
Is it about Appalachia?
No, it's about, it's about a woman.
And did you just stop being so descriptive?
Like, it's overwhelming.
You want me to tell you like a little bit more?
No, no.
Because actually, like, I have been known historically to read Barbara Kingsolver.
Oh, I'm in the middle of it right now.
And it's really, we'll wait to see what happens at the end.
But it's really less about the plot and more about the writing.
And I know that you hate that.
I do.
But for Barbara.
Yeah.
I'll do it.
And I'll give her a wide berth to get to the point, whatever that is.
Whatever the point may be.
Because the journey has been beautiful.
Okay.
And like really objectively beautiful.
Nobody does it like Barbara.
I mean, I totally agree.
So I was reading Calamity Club, but I didn't finish it.
So I had to put it down to start Partita, which isn't a great way to start a new book.
But I'm in it.
Oh, I saw a little snippet of Sophia Franklin's blog that went viral, where she was basically
saying it's been like such a crazy week.
She's like very emotional.
Yeah.
And also like some drama giving tea to the vlog watchers, us, saying that, you know,
she's heard that like Alex and her husband have like really been trying to find out what's
in the book, get a copy of it.
So now I understand why there's been a total embargo, why we couldn't get copies.
I imagine there are actually a lot of people who are trying to get a copy of the book.
Not just us, because we're nosy, but like people who have actual vested interest.
Yes, I was saying on the Patreon, was it?
I think we should get an exclusive excerpt.
I just want to put that out there because we're doing such a beautiful job of sharing
the excerpts and we've been enjoying ourselves.
I want to ask, do you think we're in the book?
Oh.
We like unbeknownst at the time, like kind of inserted ourselves.
I guess you could say that, but I don't think that we are in the book.
When Alex and Sophia were like not releasing episodes and the public thought that like
they were banding together.
Together to like get a good deal.
We sent them a DM and we're like, guys, we love the show.
Like we've been podcasting for a while.
If you need any advice on like how to negotiate, like whatever, just like trying to be nice.
And only Sophia answered and she called us and she was like just hearing what we had
to say.
And she was like, well, what do you think about this?
Should we take this?
And we were just like giving her our advice and we never heard from Alex.
And then like two days later, I forget how many days it was.
We learned of the breakup.
Yeah.
And this is coming from two girls who left their IP in the dust.
And at the end of the day, it didn't mean anything because.
Because we're the talent.
Right.
Like we had a show.
That's how I saw this.
At a big media company.
That's how I saw their show at the time, because if they had left Barstool in the way that
they were trying to do, which was like, you know, in a uncivilized way and just.
Knock at their IP.
Knock at their social media channel.
To me, the name is whatever.
No, if they had just like started a new show called like Call They Daddy or literally anything.
I think they had like a couple.
There's a couple like things that they could have done or even the Alex and Sophia.
People just wanted them.
So.
And they had continued to release episodes of the same nature of what they were doing.
The magic wasn't Barstool.
The magic was them.
The magic wasn't the name either.
No, no.
And now it's just like we don't even think about the name because we just talk about
the show or whatever.
But the name itself is.
It's not like.
No.
And actually, for what Alex is doing now, the name makes no sense.
Like zero.
She should have just changed it.
But I think it was more so about getting the social media handles that had like a million
followers, which is valuable.
Like I get that.
So I wonder if we're in the book.
Maybe that's why there's an embargo.
I don't think so.
I don't.
I know.
I don't think it was like that important.
Of a phone call.
Like for us, it was important.
It's like kind of like put us at the center of it.
But for the others, like it was really relatively non-impactful.
Yeah.
We'll see.
That's eight days till the book comes out.
How exciting.
I can't believe it's November already.
It's your birthday this weekend.
On Friday.
This week.
My birthday's on Friday.
Oh, so we'll have like a little party at the show.
Party at the show.
I'll decorate.
Party at the show.
Maybe we'll get donuts.
What would I want for my birthday breakfast at the show?
Yeah.
Place your orders now.
Like a frittata.
Okay.
It's breakfast.
It's grek-fest.
Pancakes?
I don't want pancakes.
I don't want to.
French toast?
Not for grek-fest.
Waffles?
A frittata.
Okay.
But not from any of the places.
Great.
We'll have like a frittata party.
A frittata cake.
That's so cute.
Okay.
And donuts for Koki.
Of course.
Of course.
And for everybody else.
For like the people who actually want to celebrate.
But I would love like a spinach and goat cheese frittata.
We will get a frittata cake with candles.
Let's write that down.
It will be beautiful.
And we can't wait.
With donuts on the side.
And I could have for dessert.
But I need to eat real food first.
And what do you want for your 35th?
Fourth.
Whoa.
Sorry.
I got confused.
34.
What do you want for your 34th?
In terms of material items?
More so like emotional.
Oh, what do I want for this next year?
For your 34th year.
I want.
A golden globe.
Happiness like this forever.
Yeah.
And a golden globe.
I don't want the golden globe.
You don't want the golden globe?
I want the nomination.
Yeah.
I don't want the globe.
Okay.
So we have to be specific in our manifestations.
According to Kim.
I want to be nominated so that like we can go to the award show.
And like we can continue this moment.
And like take pictures.
It's just been so much fun.
And it's been like really.
And I think the first, you know, just like very validating thing for us.
Yeah.
In a major way.
So I would love to be nominated.
So the fun goes on.
I do not want to win.
Why?
I can't imagine making a speech.
Oh, I've thought about it.
I got it then.
I got it.
I think that.
I think that we just like.
I like where we're at.
You know, it's just.
I don't want to be number one.
The thing is.
Girls like us.
Yes.
I told you this so many times.
And I talk about it with athletes.
Yeah.
We want to be number three.
I'll even take two.
Yeah.
I will do two.
I will take the golden globe.
Of course.
I have practiced the speech many times in my head before bed.
I make a little joke.
I, of course, have already compiled the list of people we need to thank.
And if we don't even get the nomination, I will make the speech here live on air.
And also, if we get the nomination and we lose, you'll make the speech here.
The speech will be heard irregardless of the results of the campaign.
Okay?
Yeah.
And also, I'm wearing a hat today.
I just feel like I need to mention that.
I wasn't going to bring it up because it is annoying when somebody tries something new
and you're like, you're wearing a hat?
No.
I think we should talk about it.
I'm wearing a cord by Mary Orton hat.
So it's not just like any old piece of shit.
Yeah.
It's a cord cap.
The quality made.
How are you feeling like being inside in a hat?
I feel good that I've done something.
You know.
You need.
To just sort of like deal with what I'm dealing with, which is just like my hair.
It's not working for you?
I don't know.
It's just like feeling.
You know what it's feeling like?
Bob.
It's time for a Bob.
It is what it's feeling like, honestly.
But I fear.
I'm so ready for Bob.
I've really been thinking about it because I'm getting a haircut in December.
And I also had a haircut last month.
So it's not a haircut issue.
I got an amazing haircut.
But it's also a regrowth issue because I'm just like.
I just feel like I'm always like tucking pieces away.
And people say I play with my hair a lot.
And it's not like I have a compulsion.
I just feel like.
There's just stuff going on.
Yeah.
So I put a hat on.
I was wearing a headband, but it wasn't even helping enough.
Like my hair.
I was having a bad hair day.
It's time for a Bob.
I'm waiting for the return of Jackie's Bob era.
Guys, hype her up in the comments.
Who remembers when Jackie had a Bob?
We were so alive back then.
And also Shannon has inspired me because she's done something drastic.
And it's completely paid off.
And she looks like so cool.
And I just.
You've also like significantly dropped LBs.
and you can just afford to do crazier things
with your hair when you've lost the baby weight.
out of the weight I would say I don't think I'm thin enough to maybe the bob but I'm getting my
haircut in December maybe the bob will be the motivation you need to drop the last more weight
more oh so you think it's time I I think you said like last week that you were like 10 away
10 away from what there are so many different benchmarks I have to like the my pre-baby weight
then the weight that I got pregnant at but don't forget all the weight that I gained trying to get
pregnant and don't forget about that og bmi right so I think I'm I'm now at the weight that I was
at when I was all like when I was got pregnant but now I have to lose all the weight that I
gained while I was trying to get pregnant in those eight months so that's and maybe the bob could be
the thing a couple lbs I mean I made a weight watchers dinner what more can I do love weight
watchers my best it's just you look great you look great but anyway so I'm I actually am really
thinking about it because I just and I also like like change and I feel like every there's always
something like new with me and like change and I feel like right now at this moment like I guess
I just moved so
I don't know I feel like I kind of need change I might be one of those people that can't stand still
like the opposite we could dive into that if you wanted to what does that mean no what does it say
what I don't know but I guess I've had plenty of change so like maybe it's not that maybe I just
need about maybe you just need a bob like and it's not that deep we're here for you and we fully
support you could always get extensions no I can't I know no I've come you have to live with
the consequences I've come too far to go back to that way of life I've come too far to go back to
how I've worked too hard on this zip code to go home now but anyways enjoying my hat it looks great
yeah it's just like fun and then I don't need to wear sunglasses every second totally um should we
dive in we've got what are the stories like today um like mindless celebrity fodder I would say just
as I just what you need exactly without further ado it is time to get into the fast five stories

right okay let me say it again when olivia was in middle school and if you're new here because we
went so viral that we can olivia's our older sister and we like love her endlessly and by
the way we're sisters you know katherine foster didn't know that about us did you see that she
closed the toast i had no idea no katherine mcfee mcfee foster and she commented on one of her reels
like i had no clue they were sisters i'm gonna throw up i'm gonna throw up um so like i said we
went really viral and so you guys might not know we have an older sister olivia we're always talking
about her like she's the best and when we were in middle school she had like this group of friends
it was four girls and you know like when you're in middle school and you have a group you have
to come up with a name like the six chicks or whatever it's sexy seven well olivia and her
group came up with noda it was an acronym for their names natalie oliver olivia name oh okay
n-o-d-a yeah let me not name the members olivia was the o natalie would be fine with it she natalie
would be fine with it and actually i saw her mom at the mall the other day like we're fine
um and then a girl who starts a d and then we haven't spoken to the d or the a in a while so
like i don't want to start stuff i'm sure they're great yeah um and so they used to walk around like
and they would say we're no duh no duh honestly at the time like i was jealous like it was a sleigh
and it was a great play on words and a great use of language now like lame like seriously like
losers but at the time it was sick yeah i wanted it so badly for myself and you know what they
olivia was like so special because she was the vowel oh i guess they had the a2 like most most
people's names like don't start with vowels yeah so it's like we're just kind of clunky like c and
j yeah i can never do like cute like things because i don't have an uh we're cj cj don't you know it
so anyways noble shout out oh yeah jingle for you yes our first story is hollywood halloween the
best celebrity halloween costumes of 2026 well i wouldn't say the best but here's the halloween
costume the notable halloween costumes there were a couple parties of course heidi klum had her
annual party her branded affair she dressed as a disgusting hand i don't know how we got here with
heidi klum like who's asking for this no like she she really did like become the queen of halloween
like 20 years ago and she no maybe 10 maybe 10 years ago and like i don't know why you don't
- Do you think she's the queen of Halloween anymore?
- No, no.
- Who do you think is the queen of Halloween?
thinks they're the queen of Halloween and I don't think anyone is. I believe we called ourselves as
such. Oh sorry we're the queens of Halloween. In terms of like celebrities who either throw parties
or are known for their like amazing costumes I actually did not see one costume this year that
I thought was particularly good or oh sorry I totally take it back. Queen of Halloween this
year Sabrina Carpenter. Did you see her? Yes. She dressed up as Penny Pingleton in the iconic dress
from You Can't Stop the Beat. Her friend dressed up as Seaweed and then her other friend dressed up
as Tracy Termlod. Best costume ever. Like niche reference. I loved it and she's so Penny
Pingleton. Yeah she is. It did make me sad though like realizing that it's Amanda Bynes. Yeah I know.
It's I know. It's just then I was like feeling sad about that. You can't stop today. Never has
I come screaming down the track. Yesterday is history dream on and it's never coming back.
So good. Amanda Batul and Wes Wilson
dressed as Dumb as Dumber. Oh I wanted to say I'm so glad you brought that up.
Of course the comments were like I hate you guys. I hate you. Kill yourself. You were supposed to
dress up. I thought it was hilarious and honestly I've kind of like turned the corner on them. That
always happens like when people have gotten beat and I'm really more so talking about her. I really
hate him but when people get so beat down like at some point like I start to like just feel like I
defend them and it's like we can stop cyber bullying Amanda and Wes now. I think the time has passed.
They've paid their dues. Ciara has gotten you know that's how I felt about Ariana Maddox. At a certain
point like you've gotten so many it's a kind of the best thing to ever happen to you. You free
from this loser finally and now you have a career. Like well not that you didn't have one before but
you know what I mean. You have like an insane career. A bigger career than you would have had
before. Outside of this. That you had before. Yes. So like I'm at a point now where it's like I'm
we're done. I'm personally done like bullying and I'm actually genuinely curious to see what
they do next. Like yeah I've been done for a while and now I think everybody else should really move on.
Be done. And I agree. And I thought it was a clever costume. I thought it was a clever
costume as well. The girls were out. Stoss and Alex are all dressed up together. I didn't
understand their costume but I think it's like a movie reference. Same with Kendall Jenner and
Jacob Elordi. What were they? They're the couple from Prada Texas. Like a movie. Oh Prada Texas.
I didn't realize that was a costume. It's a movie. You know they both probably like love cinema.
Like so much newness. Harry Styles dressed up for Harry Ween. He was Elvis Presley.
He was his X Factor audition look. So the X Factor that's also he's up there with Sabrina
Carpenter as having one Halloween. I would love to know what it sounded like inside that stadium
when he walked out in that costume. Like first of all so innovative. Great great execution of
the costume. I knew who he was immediately. I can I saw a video because they brought out
Jalen Brunson because I guess the last time Harry did a residency he got a banner for having done
like the most shows 15 in a row and now it's 30 because he did more. So they replaced his 15 banner
and Jalen Brunson. You did 30 consecutive or it's like 15 more than the 15? That's a good question.
I think it's 30 total now. Like he's gonna be up there with like Billy Joel who has like a thousand.
They brought out Jalen Brunson to do the banner ceremony and I'm I saw the video like the stadium
went insane. I actually think they probably were louder when he walked out in his X Factor
costume. I didn't love the Elvis reference only because like are you saying you're the Elvis of
your generation? Because like someone could argue that he is right? Like heartthrob,
dresses really kind of like out there. I think that he could be like sort of leaning into him
being the Elvis of and I don't think he's the Elvis of our generation. I don't know who it is.
I think him dressing up as Elvis does not mean that that's what he thinks of himself but I want
to say I think he is an Elvis of our generation. An Elvis. Yeah I would have to think of all the
major players but like the Elvis mania is on par with like 1D mania. Yes I would say One Direction
is the Elvis of our generation.
And if he's the Elvis of One Direction. Yeah yeah. I don't think it's like so off and I think it's
like a fun cool costume for a performer and like you get to be Elvis. I think it's like just an easy
one. I loved X Factor. Like that he gets crowned king of Halloween for that not for Elvis. Um Lisa
Rinna dressed up as Kylie Jenner's orange Marty Supreme premiere look. I need to know who did her
makeup because like they literally did like facial enhancement like she looked like Kylie. It was
crazy. It was a cute costume. Yeah. Not a winner by any means but cute. It was. Um
Indy Navarretti. Indy Navarretti dressed up as Betty Boop. Ben Soffer. Dressed up as Betty Boop and
made my life complete because we were able to like really bring that reference full circle because
yes that's exactly what Ben looked like. I don't really even know her that much but she's like an
up-and-coming it girl. She hosted SNL this week and then I think at the after party because it
was Halloween she showed up in costume and she hopped out of the sprinter van in literally
red dress pearls and a slick back like she was Betty Boop but she literally looked like Ben when
he took his wig off. Yeah. Hilarious. It was seriously a Betty Boop weekend. A great weekend.
For Betty. A hundred percent. Um Pete Davidson and his ex dressed up in a family costume with
their daughter. I've decided I'm kind of like China-ing Pete Davidson. I spent so much of my
career talking about him and honestly to hear how he spoke about women specifically influencers
merely a month ago. I actually I'm unless like barring something crazy happens I'd like us to
stop choosing stories about him. He wasn't a story. No I know. I'm letting you know. It was a mention.
I'm letting you know like if it comes across your desk unless it's like beyond compelling. I felt
I've sent that from you from a while. Oh good. Don't worry. You know I like to make my feelings known. Um
and then our next story which is some the major news from Halloween is that Martha Stewart has
had to apologize for her homeless Halloween costume. She said it was insensitive and not
funny. So Martha Stewart dressed up as a homeless youth. Homeless person for Halloween. A non-binary
homeless person. Yes a homeless person and she got a lot of backlash. Obviously she's like a
billionaire poking fun at poverty like a culture is not your costume. She said in a statement it's
hard to admit when you've really screwed up. My earlier statement didn't go far enough. I know
people are suffering economically wearing a costume like I did was insensitive and not funny. I'm very
sorry Martha. Now it has been a while since somebody had to apologize for their costume. It used to be
like every year we're like who's doing blackface? Who's doing a Native American? Like we're and then
people really learned and it has been a while. And things have been very quiet. Yeah so we kind of
needed this. Um of course Martha it's like not of this earth. She's not of this generation. She doesn't
like understand. So I really don't fault her. I also like don't care. I'm just like I'm not in the business.
Of caring about things like this. Like it wasn't even a good costume. That's the thing. Like yeah
I'm just confused. Yeah it was very strange. Not even of the like of it being offensive or
inappropriate or anything like that. Just poor execution of a costume. Yeah and doesn't she have
like people that you know I don't think she really keeps she doesn't have people. I don't think Martha
has like people like that. And what are you talking about? People like who like run her
her brand? Yeah. No I think like Martha's extremely authentic. Like I think she runs her own Instagram.
We could tell. And she just woke up and just wanted to dress homeless and and so she did that.
Yeah that's literally exactly what I think. Okay and she's sorry for that. Yeah and I'm sure she is.
I'm sure in the moment like she didn't think it was wrong and now she gets it. Like I also think
she's not someone who says sorry when she doesn't mean it or anything. So I think she's truly sorry
and and personally like I can move on. I don't know how other people will feel but the woman has been
to jail and back. So like I just don't think this is gonna stop her. No this is this is fine. Like she will be fine.
Like I said it's been a while since we had a scandal like this and I think people were really
excited to sort of like sharpen their pitchforks. Because Hollywood like has really fallen into line
with costumes. Like we got the we got the message. We're not doing anything even remotely offensive.
And obviously the memo didn't make it to Bedford, Massachusetts where Miss Martha Stewart lives.
Maybe the time when everyone was learning those lessons like maybe she was in prison.
I actually think her prison sentence predates that honestly. Interesting. Like who was the last person
who was in prison? Like who comes to mind? Julianne Hough. You. When she dressed up as Orange is the New Black. Luann. Of course Diana Ross. And took down Megyn Kelly as well. Yes of course. Lisa Rinna and her husband dressed as Nazis. Well not as Nazis. They were just as people who liked Nazis. No they were just as characters from a movie. Who liked Nazis. Or like was a Nazi. But that's the fact of the matter is he had a red swastika armband on his arm. That's crazy. That's crazy.
But that's vintage. Like that hasn't happened for a while. So Martha's just sort of like keeping culture alive. Yes. Yeah. It really is. I guess so. And you know if we don't learn from history we're doomed to repeat it Martha. Yeah but it just seemed like it almost seemed like she stepped in it like on purpose because. Because it's so dumb. Like. You know. 100%. And we're talking about Martha today. I don't think she has like this team of people around her. I happen to know she has like a publicist who she's had for 100 years. They're like the same age. I don't think she has.
They both did it now. Yeah. Like I don't think she has a team of interns. And they both thought it was a good fun costume. Yeah. Did you feel like overall. And I'm glad because I think in recent years we've said like Hollywood does so much when it comes to Halloween. Maybe it was the placement of it being on a Saturday. But like we usually have like a 20 day lead up. Everyone's doing photo shoots. Multiple parties every day. I felt like everybody put on normal costumes from Spirit Halloween and went to a party on Saturday night. And that's it. Yeah. And there were a couple of good ones. You see that Sprouse house. I saw. Dylan and Barbara Palvin have entered their hosting era and they're like now doing a Halloween.
Party. Kendall Jenner had one. There's a couple of like classics that everybody goes to. I felt like everybody acted normal aside from Martha. And it was like a very low key Halloween. Yeah. It was like Friday night and Saturday night. Except Heidi Klum. Her costume was fucking disgusting. It was. And I just don't want to. Like. I feel that she's in this like hamster wheel where it's like she started this Halloween party. And I think she started it like in good fun. Like it was supposed to be. She's the only one keeping her on the hamster wheel. It's not like the people are saying more. What are you going to do next. Gory or like were you. Why don't you.
Every. But it's been like this for years now. Well you don't even know. What she is. No. Who she is. You can't see her.
she's just wearing a huge prosthetic and she's just an object maybe it's like a body double
because you would never know right and so she doesn't have to go to her party you mean yeah
that's that's actually the only explanation i would i would just love to know why like this
queen of halloween who it was all good and fun she decided to like take a turn into doing like
special effects makeup really disgusting looking for the last like five years why why couldn't you
have continued on in like a sexy way or a funny way like why'd we go for horror i guess because
it's halloween it's just disgusting no and i just i'm not seeing the demand for it no even if it's
not i can i'm not even seeing outside of myself like anyone just like hyping this up well she
makes a lot of money every year from the party like it's always sponsored she it's like a big
thing for her and i get that but like i i think the costume direction is awful yeah we need a new
direction we need will schuster are you ready for our next story some coachella rumors line up
um
, Dua Lipa, SZA, and Tame Impala are expected to hit the stage this year at Coachella. 2027 may be
months away but the annual concert event in april is already taking shape with some huge acts close
to signing tmz has learned well now i have to go tame impala is going to be there like aren't tame
impala always there is it is tame impala a band i'm just assuming they're a band i think it's a
person and i just feel like every year when no jackie the year we went it was it was tame impala
and now every time we like talk about coachella we always say tame impala when i tell you i've
never heard a tame impala song before i've never heard a tame impala song before i've never heard
a tame impala song before i've never heard a tame impala song before i've never heard a tame impala song
in my life no and it's oh they're always on the lineup he i think is it a person or a band like
let's clear that up i just i don't know why maybe because i saw him binary oh or okay well
solo act man or woman man right yeah okay that's gonna be an adjustment for me you'll be fine um
doula peep and who was the other sza oh well that all should be really good um i'm not going
obviously even though this morning i did decide come hell or high water i will be seeing john
mayer at the sphere i was listening to his new song and i was like you know what i gotta hear this
take yourself when does he perform just like you know in my active postpartum era um but i feel
that it's okay and um i'm gonna make it there april i think he has like a bunch of dates that
span between april and may okay um i'm gonna figure it out okay i'll go with you of course
because i'll never turn down a trip to vegas and olivia said she's coming oh i wouldn't assume that
would make you assume that because like it's your big trip and like your dream
oh that's interesting putting this together so sure oh i wasn't putting anything together i said
i'm going anti-coji splurge it's interesting maybe we'll have to make it like a business
expense we'll figure out a way to sort of expense it to the expense account i'll treat to a dinner
don't worry um this is not a coachella that feels that i need to be at i don't know that i have
seen my last coachella i don't know that there's anything that i need to be at well if taylor was
performing you would go i think i would i would have to sort of like for research purposes but
still then you'd be at coachella you're telling me um i have to figure it out but i would get there
like it's tail that's probably the only person i don't think there's anyone that would get me to go
aside from like a work obligation aside from a check check that i can use to find my trip to
vegan yeah right um i don't think there's any even like kelly clarkson or even rascal flats because
like i'm not gonna cross the country and go and it's such a journey and put myself in that position
that precarious position when i can just wait like for whatever next time is gonna be yeah with
taylor you never know so i think no no i'm sorry with taylor you know she will be doing live shows
once again at some point yes but i think we're past the whole album tour album tour album but
like she will do shows again with rascal flats you never know because they keep threatening right
same with mezzaluna my favorite album tour album tour album tour album tour album tour album tour album
favorite italian restaurant in the city did you hear about this every time last time i came to
florida last winter news mezzaluna is closing down of course i've been in there since high school
the community was enraged i guess like they banded together something with the landlord i don't know
there was like a like a rental dispute then they were like oh never mind we're staying open i was
like okay and then of course i realized this is how important this restaurant was to me so i've
been eating there like probably three or four times a week putting your money where your mouth yeah
then again i see like on this
upper east side news it's like mezzaluna closing and i'm like they're honestly the boy who cried
mezzaluna the boy who cried closing because i think they got a lot of business the last time
they told everyone they were closing but i actually think on sunday they closed you think
it's because you haven't been there to support no um i wasn't the only person who clearly had
a renaissance with the restaurant is a restaurant that was like very popular when we were growing up
and like it slowed down you know trends come and go but it's just good and then i think when you
know the threat of them closing really upset people so every time i've been since it's insanely packed
sometimes i have to just order it for pickup um but i do believe yesterday it was late to rest and
i just want to say like a glorious manhattan institution it's devastating to think about
i'm sorry you're going through that

Our fourth story. Jessica Beal is teasing a bold new direction for the 7th Heaven reboot.
Oh, I'm chills.
No limitations.
Well, actually, there is a limitation because your dad's in jail.
Yeah, so Jessica Beal is teasing a few of the changes to the new 7th Heaven reboot.
During a recent episode of Collider Ladies Night, the actress shared an update on the series,
which is in early development at CBS Studios.
What we want to create, how we want to modernize it,
is really the things that are happening for teenagers and families that have teenagers all the way down to the youngest child.
Technology-based issues, school stuff, bullying, cyberbullying, drugs, alcohol.
All of those things we want to address in a very real way,
which is, I think, what the original kind of gently touched on.
But we were very careful about what our audience wanted.
We had a lot of limitations. We have less limitations now.
Okay, I was going to make fun of this, but let me just say,
there actually isn't a show on TV right now.
Yes.
So at the time, and I don't even think I knew it, but now when I go back and watch,
I'm like, oh, this show was so weird.
But it was kind of like a PSA.
An after-school special.
Wrapped in a soap opera.
So we were supposed to fall in love with these characters and relate to them at different ages.
But every episode tackled a difficult subject.
Of course, who could forget when the brother became addicted to those vitamins
that gave him lots of energy at basketball practice.
That was their take. That's what she's talking about, limitations.
That was their take on drugs, right?
Because he was literally just taking vitamins, but the vitamins he overdosed on
and went to the hospital.
Went to the hospital? Okay.
And it was like a faith-based show.
So it was like the dad was a pastor.
Now, of course, when I think of Seventh Heaven,
I can only think about the fact that that said father,
the actor's in prison because he was touching little boys.
Which is shocking.
And so, like, incongruous.
They probably had an episode on that.
Right. Meanwhile.
He probably wrote the episode from personal experience.
Yeah.
So I don't think he would have been a part of it anyway,
because it sounds like maybe,
Nescabelle's going to be the mom.
Who even knows what the setup will be.
Beverly Mitchell.
But a show that tackles, you know,
issues that children and teenagers are going through.
It's also like Degrassi a little bit.
Degrassi was a more mature version.
Degrassi was very advanced.
But there is no show that I'm aware of that's doing that right now.
So there is a gap.
Yeah, there is.
Even though kids these days are just like more mature and like faster.
And like they're watching shit on Netflix.
Like they would never watch this.
But like for us, it was like our only form of entertainment.
But if it's a good show,
if it can make those messages wrapped up into a good show,
it is possible.
This is like kind of a worthy effort not to be like such a mom.
But like I kind of love this.
If it's not like cringe and bad.
And like kids will actually like be receptive to it.
She said as a mom,
she's looking for what she can watch with her kids on TV.
It's limited.
I cannot watch a lot of these things with them.
And they love TV.
And it's my business.
My husband and I are in this business together doing these things.
And we can't share a lot of that with our kids.
Right, right, right.
Because everything is so inappropriate.
Right.
She said,
I think the idea of whatever faith you want to have,
that's important.
Sure.
That we don't have a lot on television,
whether you believe that or you go down that road or not.
So vague.
Yeah, now she's lost me.
No, and it's like she won't just say like she wants to make a religious show.
A Christian faith-based show.
Or she doesn't.
I don't even know what she wants.
Yeah.
There are a lot of people that really.
Well, because the thing about Seventh Heaven is that like it's not about religion.
Like, yes, they were this religious family.
The dad was a pastor.
But like we watched it.
And like I didn't think anything about.
No, but religion is like a tent pole in their life.
For like values.
And for like morality.
Yes.
She said,
there are a lot of people that really do want to walk down that road.
What?
Be religious.
Just say be religious.
Yeah, she's being vague.
So I think some kind of faith,
some kind of family,
community,
and maybe something not so jaded,
like something a little bit more glass half full.
It's not that soft because it's realistic.
Okay.
Well, you're going to have to like,
you know,
just say some stuff.
Yeah.
Well, I.
And like be religious if you want to be.
My take on this from the second you started speaking.
Completely changed.
It's just like.
Kind of a nice idea.
It's a little idyllic to think that like any kids would watch it.
But yeah,
if they wrap,
if they wrap it up in like a sort of like Gen Z,
cool girl,
clean girl aesthetic,
like maybe they would watch it.
The kids.
Kids.
I saw a lot of Ring Doorbell footage.
Younger kids would watch it.
Like maybe teenagers won't.
Maybe teenagers didn't watch 7th Heaven,
but the age that we were when we watched it.
We were preteen.
Yeah.
And it's like,
you're not watching the raciest stuff yet.
No.
So I think if it's like,
you know,
sort of Riverdale.
But I think they are watching the raciest stuff.
That's what I mean.
That's a problem.
They have just unlimited access to the whole world.
You can put their parental control.
Yes,
of course.
They do.
And not everyone's watching unlimited stuff.
No,
but I think like when you have a cell phone,
it just gives you access to like.
Not everyone has a cell phone.
Yeah.
Well,
I think this is a worthy cause.
I do.
I think so too.
I'm like,
I'm like,
Garrett and nervous for all these episodes
because there's so much like bad,
like bad,
dark.
Well,
yeah,
they have lots of material to cover.
Yeah.
Of course,
like cyberbullying,
mental health,
school shooting,
ones that like new issues that they probably didn't cover.
And past season,
you know,
there was a school shooting on Degrassi.
That's how Drake ended up in the wheelchair.
Of course,
there was a school shooting on Glee.
Actually,
there was never actually the shooting.
It was Sue Sylvester's gun that accidentally went off.
There was also a school shooting in one tree home.
So they kind of covered the bases with like the OG shows,
but there are lots of new problems that like,
there are a lot of new problems that kids are facing.
Like,
you know,
just the impacts of editing your photos,
you know,
things like that.
Of course,
like the Snapchat nude leaks,
revenge porn,
revenge,
porn,
oh my God,
I have such a pit for kids these days.
Our fifth and final story.
Not to,
the news gets worse,
Claudia.
What?
Bill Belichick and his girlfriend,
Jordan Hudson,
broke up a year ago,
despite recent appearances together.
So the streets are saying Bill and Jordan have called it quits
and that they did a while ago.
They broke up a year ago,
people confirms.
As a reminder,
he is 74 and she is 25.
Thank you for the reminder.
TMZ was the first to report their split.
Bill and Jordan ended
their relationship late last year,
but continue to be committed to their business partnerships
and remain close friends.
Of course,
their business partnerships.
Let me say this.
It's devastating to see a love lost always.
But I think the real tragedy here is that like,
does this end Jordan Hudson's like public life?
Because like,
will people continue to care about what she does,
says,
post when she's not dating Bill Belichick?
Like,
let me tell you something.
Jordan Hudson will be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.
They love a Jordan.
I love it.
I love that.
Even though I think the show has like elevated a little bit beyond her.
No,
they're still who they are.
We just happen to be watching and this happens to be a season where there
hasn't been a really controversial person,
but they went Anna Delvey.
They went Hilaria.
They have had political people on Sean Spicer.
Did they have Scaramouche?
I don't know if they had Scaramouche,
but Tucker Carlson did it.
Yes,
but Tucker Carlson did it back in the day when he was just like NBC.
He was not considered controversial.
but still,
they like to mix it up.
Yeah.
Jordan for Debitus.
Then I stand.
I think I'm actually people.
Obviously,
she'll be on our season.
Maybe people obviously,
you know,
talk about the couple Jordan and Bill as like,
you know,
a great love.
No,
of course.
But beyond that,
like as you know,
a big age dynamic,
power dynamic.
Oh,
but like when they talk about the power dynamic,
they're talking about like she's in charge.
Like I don't.
So I actually think this is good for Bill.
She's grooming him.
Yeah.
I think Bill is free from his groomer.
And I,
I feel excited for him.
Like,
to be able to relax a little bit.
It's crazy.
How Bill Belichick's reputation was literally destroyed in a matter of like one year.
Not even Jordan.
Like there was a lot of things.
Obviously,
Jordan was icing on the cake,
but like,
like what?
He was the most,
well,
the shirt,
the most well-respected coach in football.
Like he could have retired.
Like he should have retired.
I'm like,
what?
And now she's just like leaving him to pick up the pieces.
I kind of love that.
I don't know what's going on.
I mean,
either.
I can,
I can say,
honestly,
I don't know what's going on.
And I know that we all have this narrative that she's manipulating him and like isolating
him from his children.
Um,
very Meredith Blake.
Very,
you know,
she's like kind of taking control of his business and his memoirs.
I just,
I don't know that that's true.
Like maybe she is suffering.
But you know what?
Maybe Jordan is hurting.
Oh,
you want like the secret life of Jordan.
Like maybe her memoirs are next.
I don't know.
But I think when,
if anybody out there is listening,
like her on Dancing with the Stars is.
A dream.
Yeah.
I agree.
I want,
I want to say something else about Halloween.
Um,
I want to talk about Chanel from today's show with Jenna and Chanel.
Okay.
She dressed up as a rockette.
Love.
And she brought the rockettes and they did a performance and she honestly was really
good.
And it reminded me that she did the midnight sun dance with Sarah Larson.
And I feel like when they selected her,
I was a little underwhelmed,
mostly because I was rooting for Justin Sylvester.
And I stand by that.
I was only underwhelmed because it felt like she had the job the entire time.
And she was so the obvious choice that what were we doing with everyone else?
And to be honest,
I actually didn't,
I didn't know her like I hadn't heard her name prior to her selection.
So I just felt like the whole thing was like a waste of time.
It was a waste of time.
Cause it was always her job.
Yeah.
Right.
And I feel that I need to say like how wrong I was.
Cause every time I don't watch it today show,
I never did,
but I see a lot of clips and she's kind of incredible.
And I want to say she's like kind of eclipsing Jenna too.
Like the celebrities love her.
She loves to put herself out there.
Like she got in the rockette costume and did the dance.
And then the midnight sun dance.
Like I just kind of love her.
And I want to say I was wrong.
I feel like,
I feel like we already said that.
Oh,
okay.
Yeah.
I feel like when we did midnight sun,
we were just like,
she's everything.
She has the exact right energy.
She's a breath of,
fresh air he's a breath of fresh air the show is just like seamless and it it almost feels like it
was always them which is how it should be it shouldn't be like this huge announcement every
time you see this person on tv you're just like remembering and i think it's as good as it like
could ever be when you're trying to replace someone because that's otherwise irreplaceable
the today show actually did like a really cute halloween episode where like it was
all about nbc they had kenneth the page savannah was dressed as a page they like honored all the
different nbc including the rockettes which is why chanel was dressed it was actually very well
executed um and it reminded me that like she's kind of amazing like i love her and i think she
like cries a lot on the show because like she's been through this great trauma and people really
connect with that um so she was kind of like the answer she's open she's fun she's like everything
