•Feb 11, 20262 months agoSummary
The Toast hosts discuss cancel culture fallout from Jill Zarin's Super Bowl halftime show critique, a Norwegian Olympic athlete's public infidelity confession, Britney Spears' music catalog sale, and Tom Brady's relationship with Alex Earl. The episode explores themes of accountability, social media backlash, and celebrity relationships.
Insights
- Cancel culture has become performative and disproportionate—losing a TV job over a halftime show opinion sets a dangerous precedent for self-censorship in entertainment
- Public grand gestures of accountability (like the athlete's televised confession) can backfire by embarrassing the wronged party rather than demonstrating genuine remorse
- Celebrity music catalog sales represent both financial necessity and cultural opportunity—enabling new revenue streams while potentially revitalizing legacy catalogs through licensing
- Social media creates false consensus where individuals fear speaking dissenting opinions, leading to coordinated performative responses rather than authentic dialogue
- Postpartum health discussions (hair loss, sleep, feeding) are becoming normalized in mainstream media, reducing stigma around motherhood challenges
Trends
Halftime show criticism as a cultural flashpoint—increasingly polarized reactions to Super Bowl performances with swift social consequencesMusic catalog monetization as financial strategy—artists selling partial or full rights to fund lifestyles and offset past financial exploitationPerformative accountability in sports—athletes using major platforms for personal confessions, blurring lines between competition and personal narrativePostpartum wellness as lifestyle content—normalization of discussing physical recovery, supplements, and mental health in entertainment mediaCelebrity relationship visibility through paparazzi moments—intimate moments becoming news cycles that drive public opinion and speculationTikTok-driven parenting anxiety—social media creating unrealistic expectations for new parents, leading to second-guessing of natural parenting instinctsCoordinated social media responses—public figures using Instagram to distance themselves from controversial statements, creating false consensus

I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Wednesday. It should be further in the week. I think we all agree. yeah it really and i didn't even work on monday like true it's a short week for you uh it's not giving short week at all no it's not but it is giving olympic gold winning athlete from turtlandia we have turdy loo it's been amazing to represent my country turtlandia we're a small but strong nation yeah and you do excel at winter sports and being on a global stage has just been so like amazing for like really the young kids in my country they look up to me um as they see turd self yeah in turdlandia you know yeah yeah like got something caught in my throat so that was as far as my that was as far as my sentence could go without like stumbling over myself well while you continue to choke let me just say i hear you i'm listening i'm learning i'm sorry i called it mariachi it's salsa i knew i was saying the wrong word but i wanted to say a word you know That's kind of like how the show continues to go on. You took a leap of faith because I actually. So let's make fun of the girl who put herself out there creatively. I actually didn't take that leap on Monday. Like I wanted to say what kind of music it was, but I wasn't certain. So I just said music, musica. Right. I'm really sorry. I will never do it again. It was salsa though. And thank you for that. Because yes, now I know Die With A Smile does not pair nicely with salsa. Maybe try mariachi. And honestly, the more I learn, I think it was intentional. Explain. so when bad bunny like before lady gaga performed he was talking to the camera about how he's here because he never stopped believing in himself you know you got to believe in yourself and then he said is this what you wanted and he gives lady gaga almost like a rebuttal to some of the backlash oh but i don't think he would set her up like that i think she was in on it i don't know people are like you know interpreting the performance how they see to interpret it and so that was just one interpretation. I think they intended for it to be good. You think they tried to make die with a smile salsa version good? Yes. And I think it's a great idea. And the execution just didn't execute. And that was unfortunate for the little monsters. And just know I will never ever in my life say the word mariachi, even if it applies. Like I'll never say the word again. I hear you guys. Salsa. I actually had salsa last night. I had tacos. Oh, yeah. I had hamburgers. Oh, I did an egg retrieval last night. I had 12 eggs in the hard boil and I got three. so we have three we had three hard-boiled embryos after my how come none of them made it to the well that's what i want to talk about because i know you guys talked about on monday that we went to the farmer's market okay and so i've sort of nailed down the perfect hard-boiled egg recipe olivia taught me you have to do 50 you boil the water on high once it comes to a boil put it on medium 15 minutes in immediately five minutes in an ice bath and then peel immediately after five minutes it works perfectly so i hard boiled some of the eggs from the farmer's market but also some of my og you know supermarket eggs yeah the supermarket eggs i had like three left those came out perfectly yeah the farm ones were too fresh you are first of all like when you make hard boil eggs you shouldn't use eggs from the store that day they are better if they are a little bit older in general and supermarket eggs are already older they took a while to come from wherever the heck they came from your farm fresh eggs are so fresh they're actually like too fresh to be hard-boiled eggs great i'm feeling like i prefer old eggs like the trouble of having farm fresh eggs for breakfast is too much well i was getting so fucking frustrated like banging the eggs against the counter just like if the intention was to hard boil them yes so you can't hard boil farm fresh eggs or it's just a different recipe no no wait more days until they're less fresh like the eggs don't run me i run the eggs like when i want eggs i want to have hard-boiled eggs Well, then you should also have supermarket eggs on hand. Don't worry. I bought. Yeah. And also, I guess hard boiling like farm fresh eggs is like a kind of a travesty, you know? And I know. Because you don't even eat the yolk. And like the yolk is where the freshness is. And I know that like the beauty of farm fresh eggs is that they're like all different sizes, colors and shapes. But it was giving me the ick. I'm like, why are you blue? It was just blue. Blue greater than. Blue eggs greater than. Heritage eggs greater than. Vital Farms. Like I know they have a big scandal about like greenwashing or whatever it's called. I don't give a fuck. I like vital arms, proteins, whatever they're called. Happy eggs are the best eggs. That's true because they are supermarket. And they're happy hens. And they're literally. Wait, I will make a batch of like eggs for myself using five eggs, only one with yolk, the rest egg whites. And they are still yellow because of that one yolk being so vibrant. Yeah. And this is a kind of like stimulating conversation that you can come to find here at the Toast. Like the difference between Farm Brush. Do you see Ballerina Farm Scandal? There's no scandal. I know. She shut that shit down. So I wish she spoke a little bit sooner because I just saw so many things. I'm like, oh, she had a raw milk something. I don't know. It was killing people or whatever. And then she came on yesterday and made a video. I was like, no, it didn't. We haven't sold raw milk in like eight months. No, no, more. August 2025. What's that? Over a year? What month is it? It's February 2026. Thank you. It's like seven months. So I don't know where that drama came from, but I wish you kind of spoke on it sooner. Well, I just don't think you need to take time out of your day to talk about lies. Well, the lies like even got to me and I was like, oh, I saw that people were trashing her. I didn't give it a second thought. She didn't have anything to say about her face on the cover of New York magazine, though. But you know who did I hear? I did hear from yesterday. Rach. Rach Parcell. What'd she say? She was like, I have no idea why they chose that photo. But like, thank you for pointing it out. Like, it was very hurtful. Yeah. And it's like, were they trying to be hurtful? I felt like they were just being negligent. That's what I felt like. I don't know. With the cover, I feel like you can't be negligent. like maybe you can be negligent on page like 35 but the cover they just don't know the real rage because if they did they wouldn't have chosen that photo yeah so negligent because if you don't know the real rage why are you talking about her she thought maybe that they chose it like because like that's what they perceive as the height of her career but she's like that wasn't even the height like that was before yeah so she didn't know she didn't have any answers and she was just feeling you know like grateful for us speaking out against on these important issues i am grateful to us as well and no i wouldn't even give the ballerina far i wouldn't even give it any air i'm sorry for even giving it air news it was fake news it was fake news um on farming ballerina keep on milking yeah last night was a big night for tv um for people that aren't us because jackie did not watch anything she went to bed at eight o'clock guys i respect mama's timeline which i never do i literally like got max sleeping gave him to zach like to transfer him and i just drifted slept on myself i'd never ever do that and let me tell you i feel the exact same like shit like how i always do oh okay so you might as well go to bed i didn't even get to watch my programs yeah get done my sweet treats didn't get to have a little me time you are looking extra skin skinny today so maybe you should keep going to bed at eight o'clock actually i did have a couple of skinny um well i watched tell me lies and it wasn't like a episode that we have to recap okay And I did not watch Summer House. I'm feeling like the first episode wasn't compelling enough. I'm not glad I didn't even watch the last 10 minutes. Last night as I was going to sleep, I'm like, I know we have two shows on Tuesday. I know that Tell Me Lies airs. And I remember last week, like, I watched two things on Tuesday. What is the other show? And it couldn't for the life of me remember. Yeah, I'm just feeling like I think maybe it'll get to a place where everyone's talking about it. And then I'll catch back up. But it's not feeling like it's something I must watch TV this season. I'm going to endeavor to keep up. Last night, you know, I took a little me time. but that doesn't mean I'm not going to watch Summer House. I'm going to give it a shot. So I heard that the Traders videos drop on Wednesday mornings. You sent a Traders video of Colton. Oh, he was on a podcast talking about, he was on to Rob when Rob told everybody about the double dagger and all the comments were like, okay. And he's like really over explaining himself on the podcast clip, being like, you know, it was a real tell that was like gamified. Like he was really trying to sell. It's not up yet. So fucking annoying. Make us wait a week is actually annoying. I understand that they need to give space for people to catch up. But in this day and age, if you're not watching the show in the first 48 hours, I feel like you have to be. You're not serious about it. You're not serious about spoilers. Yeah. And it's like if you haven't watched Game of Thrones yet, let me just tell you. Yeah, I don't. Bran takes the throne. And if you are watching right now, you probably think I'm joking. Or you're catching up right now. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. I just feel like the statue of limitations on spoilers, like the Internet cannot be a spoiler free zone. Yeah. And if you're currently watching a show, it's on you to protect yourself. Like when I was watching something for the first time, I forget. Like I do not go on Twitter. I do not look at the people's Instagrams. I do not search anything until that final episode airs. I mean, I avoided spoilers about Monica on Salt Lake City for the last three years. Because you really care. If I can do that as a person who works in pop culture, like you can do anything you set your mind to. You sound like bad money. Like you never stop believing in yourself. And that's why you are where you are. And that's why I was able to enjoy the season spoiler free. Correct. Much like Bad Bunny. Correct. Now, we've got lots of stories today. Anything else you wanted to chat about? Like, what's going on with you? Let's do a new mama check-in. Like, how was baby sleeping? Still, we're still, like, waking up often to eat throughout the night. But it's brief. You know, it's like eating, then right back to sleep. That's good. Yeah. It's not like, oh, an hour of, like, rocking. It's just right back to sleep. So that's okay. And, you know, I think we're going through a spurt, I believe, a long spurt. So that's okay. The other night, though, it was the morning when you weren't here. I was telling the studio we got, like, a really big stretch. Yeah, so everyone was really excited for me. That's huge. Yeah, like, the first wake up was, like, 4 a.m. All in the crib. Huge. Huge. All in the crib. Huge. Yeah. That's great. Oh, and new mama checking, like, I believe, especially I hope that my hair is falling out right now because I'm losing a lot of hair, so I hope, like, this is it. Yeah. You know, not, like, a – Morse to come. Not something unrelated. Right. Oh, yeah. Um, so yeah, I believe my hair is beginning to fall out and I'm doing everything in my power to keep it at bay. I don't expect to not have any hair loss, hair shedding. Um, but I'm just going to try and keep as strong as possible. So I'm doing all the things and I'll see you guys on the other side. Yeah. The thing is like when I blew out my hair this morning on the floor, it was all over my legs. I know that's like the worst feeling, but you know what? Like you should, let's just try and be positive, right? Like, thank God you have a lot of hair. Like people who don't, who get, you know, postpartum hair loss and don't have a ton of hair to start with like i think it's a little bit more obvious thankfully you have luscious locks i don't it doesn't look like you're losing your hair no and the hair loss isn't even the worst part it's the regress when it comes back in and it's just like little like spikies yeah don't fit anywhere um so i'm not like really looking forward to that journey but that's a whole part of the process you know and i feel like the first time around it like it hit me like a ton of brick because i also felt like okay you lose your hair i'm gonna lose my hair whatever it is what it is i'm not gonna do anything to try and prevent it that will make it more sad if i'm working actively against it and failing then the second time i was like you know what we could do the serums we could do i could take a couple supplements like you know just nourish mama and i feel like it was much more manageable okay and so i'm doing the same things this time around like i'm not i don't expect that it's not going to happen at all but like to have it be a bit measured tempered that would be great okay well we're rooting for you thank you so much and you of course, co-toast at Nutrafol.com, the women's and the postpartum formula.

Thank you, Ali. Our first story, major news. Jill Zarin has been fired from E's roni reunion show, The Golden Life, after her rant about the Bad Bunny halftime show. So a lot has happened in the last 48 hours for one Miss Jill Zarin. I know she must be devastated. Yeah. So during the Super Bowl, she was like real time posting her thoughts on the halftime show. And she posted a video saying it was the worst halftime show ever. She really didn't like it. Why wasn't it in English? He's grabbing his crotch. All the elements like inappropriate. It was in Spanish. Lady Gaga looks like she had a facelift. Who even is that? And it was just like, you know, ranting against she didn't like the halftime show. A lot of people like found it to be offensive. and like the day after she wound up deleting it and then the new e-show the golden life dropped her from the show which i think is so absurd i think it's so first of all like i can only i'm seeing this from jill's perspective like jill has been really wanting to be back on tv and i don't think she would just have taken like any opportunity so i do think she was actually a big part in getting the group together not necessarily as like a producer but just a big catalyst for the show making things happen you know spolngan morgan's not producing television no but jill's very organized she's friends with a lot of the girls she's friends with kelly so i do feel like the show getting sold was like a big feat for jill and the fact that she's not going to be on it like i imagine she's sitting in a dark room pitch black completely devastated like mourning i think she's devastated i think she is too i think she has every right to be i think this is such an overreaction i think that people are not are allowed to not like the halftime show like i happen to like it but i i think it's okay if people didn't like it too that's like with any halftime show like you're allowed to not like it it doesn't have to be like this big crazy thing and then people can discuss and write hate in her comments and be like you're this and that but like the fact that they dropped her from the show is really great especially when this show is supposed to be like celebrating the women for who they are they got taken off of tv 10 years five years ago because it was like we're done with this kind of woman and we're bringing in a different kind of woman and now it's like people still want them back just let them be who they are and i feel like if this show is already like already trying to like stifle them, censor them. Oh, you can't be this way. Like it's not the show that I thought it was. Well, also the show is about women in their fifties and sixties who moved to Florida from New York. And that woman doesn't like the halftime show. Like that's just, I don't know what people expected. So I agree. It's shocking that so swiftly I didn't, I didn't, I was following it. I didn't know that it had gotten to like this big of a point but like i don't think that it did like no no it got like people were talking about it but i think to be like dropped from a show that hasn't even started yet this would have blown over in days it's really not a big deal that jill's aaron did not like the halftime show like that's not big news it's so crazy how far it's gone like the zaron fabrics website like at the top of their website put up a banner we are not associated with jill's aaron we have not been associated with jill's aaron in like you know 17 years or whenever they sold the website since oh since bobby's death they literally wrote that on the website um that's an insane thing for a company to post and like i'm glad to know that because like i would have went to zaron fabrics because like i i happen to know i knew that uh now i don't want a zaron fabrics rug who are you then well it's not part of jill don't you feel like the halftime show has kind of become like april fools now follow me okay in recent years like it became a thing where like female celebrities would say that they were pregnant on april fools and very swiftly there was backlash and it became a thing like you just knew not to do it anymore because like every year there's someone who's going to do it and they're going to get canceled for it and it's become almost like a trope now we wait every year to see which female celebrity and now in recent years it's like if you don't like the halftime show and you post about it on social media it's like a a hole you fall in last year who did it do you remember tyler cameron he was at and he was like worst halftime show ever with kendrick lamar canceled racist it's like a it's almost like a rite of passage now it's becoming it's reminding me a lot of so if you don't like the halftime show you just can't you can't say that like that's what it's becoming i don't like that me neither you're allowed to not like things you're not allowed to not like things it's really like not that big of a deal it's it's a 12 minute entertainment show it's like people that's the point of it is to spark conversation like i think it's so overblown and if this is what the new show is about i thought the show was like let's pick up these women we love who they are who they've been and like let them do their thing they're already like censoring them and trying to like fit them into some like world mold i'm not watching the show and if the women were smart they would rally around jill and say well none of us are doing the show and not even because they care so much what jill said all of them are like marking themselves safe i loved it okay well we have to talk about the social media activity of all the women if they were smart they would say we're not doing this without jill because then the network can't do that to any of them it's just like drop them because they did something wrong because trust me they're going to do something wrong luann and her costume oh yeah even when they're well intentioned they're gonna mess up because that's just who they are and that's why we love them and it would be smart of them to say well then there's no show without jill because that will protect them all in the long run if they start doing this every time you mess up you get knocked out there will be no show 100 like if the show does move forward without jill i'm not watching it i thought this was going to be like let's let these women let it rip for better for worse you know you might not like everything they say but it will be interesting and they'll be themselves if it's like this watered down like bravo no thank you well you're 100 right about the women really not being a smart decision i'm sure they were all like okay as long as it's not me yeah and while that might serve them in the next six months it sets a really bad tone for the show because these are all women of course you know thank you for reminding me about the costume a luan's costume um ramona has a sordid history so um it's just a matter of time before one of them one other one of the other women is where jill is at and so it's really not smart but it was very interesting and i saw it all happening in real time the social media activity of all the women i don't think any of them were going to say anything about the halftime show i doubt any of them watched it like i don't think they go to super bowl parties like they're not you know keeping up on current events i don't think they gave a fuck um and then they started to see the backlash to jill and you know now it's like well how do you feel about this before anyone even asked sonia was out there posing pictures with her latino friends saying i love my latino family um kelly calore and ben simone posted like a lot of quote about inclusion yes love just sort of like leave me alone you know what i mean like a shield and while maybe that worked for them today it sets a really like dangerous precedent and if they all did say you know this just leave jill alone it would have protected themselves from future um cancellations so it does feel like that maybe wasn't a smart move no it's it's not a smart move i i think this was so this is so crazy i was shocked and i just know she's crushed yeah because beyond her being excited to be back on tv this big back end wise was a lot of her doing i also thought like we were past this as a culture as a culture like this is like classic cancel culture i mean cult it is on tv you can't hold an opinion that like differs from the group think or else you will lose your spot on the television show that hasn't even already aired like and you're getting it because of who you are it's not like you're a nobody and oh you fucked up before you even like but everyone knows who you are what you're about and like you can't be yourself yeah i really i was so shocked by this that we're still in this like vicious cycle it's so stupid it serves nobody you're allowed to not like the halftime show a thousand don't have to lose your job and colson's on traders and colson's on traders like that's you know what that's where i'm like actually for cancel culture like yeah the man who's talked his ex-girlfriend and put a tracker on his car like you could i could sunset you you know like yeah but it's really crazy and plenty of people say like hateful stupid things nothing yeah she didn't like the halftime it's it's insane yeah it's really crazy and i know that when she posted that she had no idea it was like this i think she thought it was probably a hot take but i think that she thought like that's what they want from us that's why we're back on tv and that's why people are so excited that's why people missed us because everybody else is so like watered down and scared and we're gonna be like the brazen ogs and i think i think she thought she was giving people what they want even if it's not what they like thought themselves but it's just like it's a hot take it's very hot too hot did you also see the roni uh new women like also marking themselves like their social media oh my god yeah it was really being like i can't believe how much hate i'm getting from liking the bad bunny oh that's what the influencers are doing they like said something nice about bad bunny then they like find one comment of someone being like i can't believe you liked it and they're like the hate i'm getting is not okay you guys oh it's so crazy but i'm telling you like the halftime show is now like a thing well i just want you guys to know like when i see a halftime show if i like it i'm going to tell you And if I don't like it, I'm going to tell you. Yeah. And it really has no bearing on the like on anything else other than like I here sat looking for like entertained What like and something else that she said about the halftime show which I felt a little bit but I just feel like that just everything now is like the inappropriateness, like of the grinding and stuff. Yeah, we didn't watch it with the kids. It's not family friendly, but I think everything is like that now. Yes, that's not a bad bunny thing. No, we didn't invent that. No, and I think like the bar for what's considered family friendly has sufficiently been lowered. Let's bring it back up. Yes, I agree. Because that's why I didn't watch it until monday morning yeah because it wasn't even on youtube until monday morning all sunday night i was looking to watch it but because we forgot to record it as i explained that on youtube tv like yeah maybe a little more family friendliness i would appreciate that would just be convenient for me but i guess nobody else cares and that's also like a standard we're also like so far gone like you know chapel rome showing up with her yeah it's like that that actually bad bunny's performance was pg no right so that's like i didn't see a nipple right and that's what i'm saying like our consideration is considerably lower but that doesn't mean that like i would let my kid watch it right so yeah we waited um so yeah let's see what i mean i don't i don't think they're gonna undo it i think for the most part but because the halftime show has been such a polarizing topic of conversation for the most part people are glad that jill there isn't like this nobody is saying that this is crazy they're like yeah serves her well because everybody's scared yeah maybe i should be more scared i am scared i don't i think it's so clear that this is so wrong and i feel like we always talk about how like sometimes when people are getting canceled you do sort of want to be like nobody wants to defend the person getting and then jump on the sinking ship like you just are like okay it has nothing to do with me like this is not my play this is not my problem but i don't know like if we're going to talk about this story like as a person with a conscience like i feel that this is wrong and she's allowed to not like a halftime show and i think this bodes ill for this next show that I no longer am interested in watching not even because of I love Jill so much and I don't like the other women I just think then this is not the show such a bad tone this is not the show I thought it was yeah I thought it was like our crazy gals you guys they're literally six-year-old women who used to live in New York and they moved to Florida like what did you expect right so I thought that yes when they picked up the show it was like we're leaning in 100 percent and then the first sign of struggle you're out it's yeah it's very um lame weak lame are you ready for our next story a little olympics news olympian sterla home leg ride holds back tears as he admits to an affair in live television interview after his medal win so a norwegian bi-athlete won the bronze medal at the winter olympics but he admitted to fumbling a gold medal woman during an emotional interview after his victory he also fumbled a gold medal because bronze is not gold. Right, right. So during his post-game interview, he became mournful and tearfully admitted to cheating on his romantic partner. He said, there is someone I wanted to share this with who might not be watching today. He said he met the love of his life six months prior and then three months ago made the biggest mistake of his life and was unfaithful. All of this in an interview. She's getting choked up. Yeah, he said that he came out about his infidelity about a week ago, so it's like sort of dicey where things stand with his lady love yeah they're very much in like the figuring it out phase and he thought like this grand gesture might help i think it would help well she said um like no please excuse me from this narrative i one in which i never asked to be a part of like i don't think she's enjoying like seriously being embarrassed on a world stage yeah but i think this is him taking accountability on the world stage you know like no but now everyone knows like if they end up together that like he cheated on her okay but like people have been through that look at jelly roll and his wife did he cheat on her yeah how do you know that's a part of their story oh okay i think we reported on it like mere weeks ago and it clearly stuck with you and not with no not at all um the part of their story that stuck with me is it what i'll say though of them yeah like i don't want to get into it okay what i'll say about this though it's like they were dating for three months before he cheated on her like you like that's really really bad is it isn't it worse to cheat on someone you've been with for three years i feel like by then you could be like we were roommates It's like when you're in three months, it's like the honey, like one three months. It's like, well, I didn't know if we were like still. Oh, I guess. Or I guess. I just feel like this relationship is a wash and we should just start over. It's only three months of your life. I just want to say, like, looking on the bright side, even though I think cheating after three months, like you stand no chance. No, and also being lying for half of it because it was a six month relationship. You cheated three months in and it just came to a head. Yeah. No, it's your toasters. It's also kind of like love bombing to then make this grand gesture. On the other hand, like, I do feel like he's taking accountability in the biggest way he possibly can, like by owning out his mistakes on the world's largest stage. I just know that interviewer felt so weird, like so awkward. I didn't know where the conversation was going. Yeah. And it's not like they're this famous couple. Like nobody knows her. Nobody knows him. It's just really awkward. I feel awkward for everyone, but like mostly the girl who was, I don't know who was a man or a woman, like interviewing the athlete. Oh, I feel bad for like the person who got cheated on. Of course. Then embarrassed. Embarrassed. Maybe had to tell her family, but not all her friends. She was just like, it didn't work out. And then they're like, oh. Slava. Sterlom. Leigrade. Oh, he cheated on her, Sterlom. Crazy. What a weirdo. I did not. I think there are people who might have found this like grand gesture romantic ick for me. Like yucky. I don't know. You know what? I need to know about Stirlis past. I just want to say it might have given me less of a nick if he won gold. For sure. And we don't talk enough about how I could have won gold with all of this on his mind, though. I don't think we talk enough about and this is someone, you know, coming from someone who's quite literally never won any sort of athletic challenge in her entire life. It is really weird that the Olympics like you get an award for losing because in any other sport like you come in second, it's you it's called being a loser. Whereas, you know, you're coming in third and you get a medal. It's really crazy. Yeah. No, I mean, third best in the world. Yeah. Pretty good. For all we know, like I could be eighth best, you know? I just need Sterla. Like I need to know more about Sterla. Does he have like, what's his dating history, cheating history? Like maybe he- Is this a pattern? Did he make like, did he seriously make a mistake? And like this lady is the love of his life and like he's going to do everything to win her back. Right. Like you need all this information. I need no more. Like I want no part of this. I feel deeply uncomfortable. I'm sorry that that happened and wishing you all the best I'm team Sterla I'm team USA you know I'm team Ilya Ilya yeah I'm team you to Jake are you ready for our next story some exciting biz music news for Britney Spears she is going really quickly do we not have Nancy got three updates Oh, you know. Oh, sorry. I meant to choose the nest doorbell. And then they also took someone into custody last night. They took someone into custody. And the guy this morning did an interview being like, I have no idea who these people are. They brought me in. They didn't even ask me questions and then let me go. It's giving like performance. Well, apparently he was in some way tied to the Bitcoin address that was in the ransom. So he's a delivery driver. He seemed like a really nice guy. It actually felt really bad. No, he didn't even know who Savannah Guthrie was. He said he has a bunch of news. And he's like out here giving interviews. Like, I don't believe he is involved. It seems like this investigation is like up. They have nothing. And I feel. Or it's being purposely derailed because I did fall down a rabbit hole. Oh, please share anything remotely hopeful. So, you know, Savannah Guthrie was the person to interview Virginia. I want to say her name is Virginia Woolf, but that's the. That's the old I'm the author. Yeah. But the Epstein victim who really blew the case. Sorry. Guffrey. Go free Virginia. Okay. The Epstein victim who like really blew the case wide open. Now, if you're on Epstein talk, which I unfortunately am, it was kind of this breakthrough interview. I think Savannah maybe continued her correspondences with Virginia. Virginia has since passed, of course, very suspicious. And perhaps this has something to do with that. Now, if you're in on the Epstein files, like, of course, this has Epstein written all over it. if you're not in the epstein files you sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist like everything is epstein every everything is everything is epstein what they were doing was worse than you even it could have possibly imagined you like and when you hear things about what's in the epstein files you're like well you're obviously all crazy conspiracy theorists it's not no it's not so this could be epstein coded and i just want to say if i go missing anything happens to me i have no plans to take my own life i'm happy i'm healthy and i'm not suffering from any sort of mental illnesses so they just think her association to virginia like maybe she knows something maybe she was actively working on a report you know she is like an investigative journalist yeah so that's what the epstein talk people think it's like back to epstein well because this is giving just like gross incompetence you're arresting some rando yeah but nothing you know the thing you release to the public is two men or a man in a ski mask yeah and they so they did release surveillance footage which i was saying like since they had and i was like oh maybe they know something and they don't want to share how much they know but now they're like pleading to the public if you know anything about this masked individual like we literally have eyebrows to go off of yeah and And the delivery driver had totally different eyebrows. Yeah. Yeah, it's giving they have nothing. It's not a lot. And Savannah's Instagram just, like, keeps, like, I thought there was, like, so the FBI is involved, like, the local police. So you would think, like, there's a lot going on. Now I'm of the mind that, like, they know nothing. I thought there was a moment where it was, like, on the precipice. Being kept close to the vest. The video that she made, like, we would like to celebrate her. It felt like they knew something. Nothing. I don't know. And Joey Camasas said, where the hell is Nancy? Yeah. Where the hell is Nancy? It's not funny anymore. It was never funny. It was never funny. But like, vanished without a trace. So freaky. Yeah. And every major law enforcement is on this, the whole country. I was watching the Olympics and they stopped the Olympics broadcast with an NBC breaking news alert. And what was the alert? And I was like, oh, my God. They found Nancy. Because it said Nancy Guthrie, so I knew they were about to say something. Man has been taken into custody. and we have the ring footage like it was that was it and it was and it was nothing nothing that's that's not good um britney spears yeah sorry back back yeah she no no i'm glad that you brought it up though because i meant to discuss it because yesterday was the most news we've had in a few days um britney spears has sold her music rights to primary waves so britney has sold off some of her rights tied to her catalog of music to company primary wave sources is confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. With the deal, she sells off a stake in one of the most iconic catalogs in modern pop music. Currently unknown is how much they spent on the rights, though TMZ, which first reported news of the sale, suggested it was comparable to Justin Bieber's $200 million sale in 2023. I'm really relieved. I know people worry about Britney in a lot of different aspects. I worry about her financially. This is a person who was really run dry by the people in her life, like lawyers, her father, her family, the conservatorship was just a scam for people to take her money. And it's my belief that while she was freed from her conservatorship, she had like very little money. And I think the book that her book deal was like a huge thing, like helped her live for a little bit. But I think she lives like a big lifestyle. So I worry about her financially, amongst other things. So I do think 200 million like is desperately needed. And I'm glad for that. Although I hope this isn't a decision that she would come to regret because I don't believe she's in like a very sound state of mind. I don't think she would come to Reddit as long as they paid top dollar. And if she got around 200 million, I just hope that she has some sort of like advisor business manager. So she's not just like spending it on crystals or whatever. Hollywood people do their money on and that it will be like spent wisely on rent. And I think this is also great for the culture because I don't think she'll be doing much in the way of like new music, putting out anything like using her old music. But now like we could get a Britney Spears movie. We could like they could be in commercials. like yeah we'll just be back in the zeitgeist so i think it's like a win for everyone and hopefully like they use her music well and she uses the money well she need money we need music but for me this might be like a crazy question do you think her music is worth more or less than just mevers i think more yeah actually yeah but she didn't sell her whole steak so what she sell like a portion of it or like just some of the music yeah like a couple songs or like 50% of each song right right I feel like it's 50% of each song great so that hopefully they can like yeah put it in commercials and movies and she can continue to have passive income like I think she doesn't have a lot of revenue streams no so if there's someone out here owning half of her music and putting it on random commercials in China and she gets a mailbox money I think that's great yeah in addition to 200 mil oh in addition to a lump sum always take the lump sum but there needs to be an advisor yeah there needs to be systems in place so that she doesn't end up where she was last time because when you are like in a vulnerable mental state like people in hollywood like they circle like vultures yeah plus she likes to you know go on vacation she lives well that britney spears that britney s pierce today's episode of the toast is brought to you by unreal i have been loving unreal for so many years in my household and now doing ads for them like i didn't know that was happening but i'm so excited to tell you about unreal so unreal are better for you candies they have dark chocolate coconut bars i love a chocolate coconut bar i don't know if you guys knew that about me but that's kind of like my favorite candy they also have dark chocolate peanut butter cups claudia does love a peanut butter cup as who i who doesn't love them but i but i really do love coconut and they also have dark chocolate caramel peanut nougat bars which are so tasty they're made with the best ingredients because right now like I need a sweet treat all the time I'm having a nourishing meal and then I need to follow it up with the street sweet treat but I am trying to eat better for you ingredients I am breastfeeding I don't want to put junk into my system also sometimes my kids want a little street sweet treat a little piece of chocolate and I hit them with the unreal and we love it it is fun for the whole family so it's candy nostalgia because it tastes just like the candies that you know and love, but they are better for you.

So last Sunday, the Pepsi Super Bowl spot forced us to look at our own biases. The ad leaned into the Pepsi paradox. It's that phenomenon where we think we prefer a certain brand because of what we've been told is the standard. But when it comes down to taste in a blind taste test, when everything is taken out, sight, sound, all we have is our taste. And we are choosing Pepsi every time. So the Pepsi ad followed a cola loving bear who stepped up to the iconic Pepsi challenge. and with only taste on the table when taste was the only thing that mattered. That bear chose Pepsi Zero Sugar over Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. 50 years after the original Pepsi Challenge showed America preferred Pepsi when labels were removed, the brand did it again. In 2025, the revival of the Pepsi Challenge, 66% of participants agreed Pepsi Zero Sugar tastes better than Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Pepsi Zero Sugar when 100% of markets where Pepsi conducted the Pepsi Challenge, even in Coca-Cola's hometown of Atlanta. Wow. Go out and try Pepsi Zero Sugar today. You deserve taste. You deserve Pepsi. For great taste, choose Pepsi Zero Sugar.

You know, like every time I set a goal for her, she just out goals me. the way this makes me think so like gross of tom brady like he has kids close in age to alex earl um it's just so funny how the mind works you know yeah yeah well you had told me about the and then you saw it and what sort of feelings came to mind um it was definitely intimate and it's it's definitely real yes you know um now this was also at like an unofficial super bowl party like it was a private event it wasn't a branded event so they were just like really kind of behind closed doors like feeling safe they didn't know there was like a paparazzo right behind them i just can't believe like he's going forward with this despite like the reaction which was overwhelmingly negative for him which was why i said to olivia like maybe he really likes her so much that he doesn't care what people think because like it's not going to stop him from following his heart i feel like that could definitely be the case because what's not to like she's amazing i love her i have a crush on her like she's so everything and as olivia said like they're both goats in their field right they have a lot in common with just being the greatest the greatest athletes of turdlandia yeah gold winning um olympic athletes representing the land of turdlandia i honestly just couldn't believe what i was seeing when i saw the tushy like yeah she's so little he's so big it's really a dream sort of smut novel is made of you know yeah it's been a while since we've had like such a shocking couple yeah who comes to mind like Taylor and Travis oh yeah when you see it it's like no like like Pete and Kim yeah like you hear about it but then you see it and I'm like that can't be but it is and I'm still in that phase of that can't be yeah no I've sort of settled a little bit like I understand what Alex is doing better than Alex does you know like this is obviously not the great love of her life they will not be having children together he's merely a stepping stone for her well now that you've said that they will yeah because I'm like Loki a terrible predictor theme yeah but that's just a girl you know yeah people who are obsessed with like i predicted that like okay like okay good for you i the internet is obsessed with like predictability culture being like i predicted that like this was gonna happen it's like well yeah obviously like it's also like so obvious what they predicted yeah but oh yeah they'll be like i called it that so and so was pregnant they've been married for like a number of years and have expressed a desire to have children right okay yeah and what did you get for that i'm just like obsessed okay look i'm i feel like i'm the antidote to predictable culture like i got it wrong your prediction yeah yeah although i did predict you're predicting kelsey ballerini is gonna have a baby this year oh it's not did i say that you did we didn't talk about how they um broke up they broke up and clearly they broke up like it was news monday but olivia was here and i wasn't gonna do that to her And also they broke up like in a matter of 12 hours. Sunday, she was at the Grammys on the red carpet, like talking about her renaissance with Chase and being like, you know, I just believe in love and whatever. Like, I know this is messy. We're keeping it off the Internet. Like, I'm sorry. I was like, OK, that night she's with Madeline Klein. They're posting pictures. Her and Madeline Klein both unfollow him that night. And then that Monday morning, it's reported like it literally happened. What do you think happened? I have no fucking idea. Maybe her and Madeline like compared notes of an overlap. Maybe like Madeline had some information that Kelsey didn't know about. Or maybe he reached out to Madeline in like a sexy type of way. And of course, Madeline being the girl's girl that she is. No, or like Madeline saw him with another girl on set and was like, oh, I thought you guys were broken up. But it was this day. And she was like, wait, no, we were together that day. He was telling me this, that and this. I like that. Yeah, 100% it's that. So I take back my prediction that Kelsey Valerie is going to have a baby this year. My bad. No, but I did correctly. Remember we just made that video of things I predicted. Oh, Tom and Alex Earl. Oh. so i am right when it counts okay yeah the big one yeah but also it's only february because he already still could have or not have a baby sorry pregnant okay you know i'm taking that one back yeah that's that was sort of contingent on her and chase working it out and like i don't want to like speculate for her like it's an annoying thing to say i'm sorry i take it back yeah that's weird that we said that in 2026 like i would think we're so evolved i'm not like okay i'm not i am not evolved past like certain things you know no but you are like i wish yeah i'm toxic like i want taylor and travis to have a baby taylor i think that that's something she wants for her life i'm not putting pressure on her i just think it's something she wants yeah yeah but i think we put a little pressure on kelsey and i don't even know why i said that like i sometimes i just say stuff you guys like mariachi you know and i said i would never say that word again so starting now you can say mariachi all you want just don't say that lady gaga did mariachi yeah but you could do mariachi and i just want to say like i know that mariachi like is exclusively mexican and i was like and it was like a latin performance and people think the only thing like mexican people are latin like no i'm not fucking stupid like i just said the wrong word it happens all the time it's not that deep like it's not that deep i've been saying the word precarious like a lot and you've been saying precocious when you mean precarious yes thank you again you do it again but it is quite precocious you know precarious but it's also precocious well It depends what we're talking about. And I feel as though when we're speaking of it, it's an extremely precocious nature. Well, that means we're like being very erudite in the manner in which we're speaking. We're being erudite. I couldn't have said it better myself. Title. What does erudite mean? Precocious. And let me say, this is how we spell erudite. This is how I think you spell erudite. having or showing great knowledge or learning. Show me what it starts with. E or A? E. Okay. E-U. No. Oh, fuck. E-R? Mm-hmm. I? No. Y? No. E? No. Erudite. O? No. R? Erudite. U? U. E-R-U. D-I-T? Yeah. Oh. Erudite. and precocious oh i know how to spell precocious p-r-e no i was gonna give you the meaning cautious c-a-u-t-i-o-u-s was that right sorry i wasn't listening p-r-e-c-a-u-t-i-o-u-s no precocious no no that's precocious is that a different word if it's a word p-r-e-c-o-c-i-o-u-s precocious wait and it's a b-r-e-c-o-c-o-c-i-o-u-s that's wrong it's having to do with a child like being uh indicative of early development certain abilities earlier the age than usual advanced i really actually feel like i don't need to know what precocious means because to me it means precocious you know yeah i love did you ever um have a spelling bee i don't think so just in like my dreams you know yeah i had a spelling bee once and the way i remember what word i got out on warranty no i hate the word so much because of it like don't ever use it um benevolent you don't feel benevolence towards the word b-e-n-e-v-o-l-e-n-t benevolent yeah i think i did like volent v-a you know it's fine that wasn't your destiny was to be a spelling bee champion Certainly not. But I did watch a lot of Akela and the Bee growing up. So I understood the importance of knowing how to spell. Yeah. I'm not an amazing speller. You don't need to be. Not in this day and age with technology. Right. Like the same way that you don't need to be like amazing at math because everyone has a calculator. Yeah. You don't need to be a good speller.
