Summary
The Toast hosts discuss Harry Styles' new disco single 'Aperture' and upcoming residencies, the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over 'It Ends with Us,' Hayden Panettiere's upcoming memoir, and a 700-person anti-AI campaign led by Scarlett Johansson. The episode balances celebrity gossip with deeper discussions about creative control, sexual harassment allegations, and AI copyright issues.
Insights
- Celebrity feuds often conflate multiple distinct issues (creative control, personality clashes, harassment allegations) making public judgment difficult without legal clarity
- Memoir titles matter less than the story—generic titles don't diminish potential impact of significant life narratives
- Open letters function as press generation tools as much as advocacy mechanisms, raising questions about authenticity of celebrity activism
- AI regulation debates among celebrities focus on compensation and consent rather than opposing AI technology itself
- Streaming release strategies (weekly vs. binge) fundamentally changed consumer behavior and expectations around content consumption
Trends
Celebrity residencies replacing traditional touring as a stability-focused alternative for artists with family commitmentsLegal proceedings becoming primary source of celebrity gossip as court filings replace traditional media narrativesAI copyright and likeness protection becoming central concern for entertainment industry as deepfakes and voice cloning proliferatePostpartum mental health narratives gaining prominence in celebrity memoirs as previously taboo topics become publishableOpen letter culture as performative activism generating press coverage with minimal substantive action required

Good morning, girlies, it's the Tollos. It's Jackson Claude and where your hoes. It's your favorite show, the fast-five things you need to know. We'll start your day off, swirly, it's the Toast. It sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and Happy Friday. Yay, yeah, that's right. It's the end of the week. Does feel a little bit undeserved because it was a short week. Things to Martin Luther King and the wonderful work that he did. So I'm just taking for what it is. I just want to acknowledge I got to work that hard for this Friday. Oh, I feel like it feels deserved. Four days is still a lot of days. I mean, you're telling me. Should we talk about your sluts, drums? Oh, yeah, these are Chris Appleton. Chris Appleton, now I can finally wear my hair like this, which is one of my favorite hair styles, especially on a Friday. As you know, my hair styles do correlate to the day of the week. And now I'm back with my strands. Okay, strizans, strandberries. Totally. We're both rocking our new Chris Appleton haircuts. I heard somewhere, and please, again, I just hear things in comments section. So always take what I say when she says I heard somewhere, I learned somewhere. I just found out it's from like a comment section. Apparently, if you wanted to book Chris Appleton, like for a haircut, it's $100,000. Like, because not anyone could just do it. So if you just, if you want Chris to like come to you, like random, like, that's $100,000. Or you can start a podcast, work really hard for it at eight years. Slai with your sister every single day, never give up, never back down, never give up on your dreams. He will come through on his book tour as a press stop to this podcast. You've been working so hard on, and you can ask him to cut your hair as a bit. For free. Or you can start to go find me. Or you can pay $100,000. Yeah, I don't know. Both are a tall task. I just want to say, I didn't even style my hair this morning. This is still Chris's blowout. I didn't have any time to like putting the heat on it. It's looking amazing. And it does feel like $100,000 haircut. Yeah, you look like $100,000. Thanks. Which like in this day and age, it's not even a mill, like it's not a compliment. Like, like a billion bucks. I just feel like I won't truly be happy till I have a billion dollars. I've heard that, like the best amount of money, like, where have you heard this? I know. I know. Probably. Probably, or like something. Like to be super wealthy, but not like, you know, out of touch. Yeah. The all more money environment. The environment. The sweet spot is $200 million. That's what I've heard. I don't know. I just don't think I would be happy. Like I really don't. I feel like I would, because you know me, I always worry about money. And it's like, no, I think like $200, I would still be worrying. Yeah. Okay. I'm just telling you that's what I've heard. And then I feel like when you have $200 million, you start to run in like really fancy circles of people who have like $500 or a billion. And then you just feel poor. You're a less than. Yeah. And I don't want to feel poor. Yeah. But I feel like once you get into the billions, like it's definitely toxic. And you just want to say. I just want to say. And so, you know, I've heard that $200 is a really good amount to have. I believe that $200 is a good amount, but I just want to say, like, I happen to know just a few billionaires. Okay. And they're wonderful people. They seem happy. But maybe that's just more so like a reflection on me. Like I attract really positive billionaires. It's not the negative toxic one. Even though I think that like billionaires is just a term now for like very, very wealthy. And like probably a lot of the very wealthy people that I think are billionaires are just like a multi, multi, multi, multi. Are 200 millionaires? No, like 500. And they're very happy with their 200. They're good people. You know, these people, you guys, us billionaires, we're just people. We're just like you. Except like happier. We have an amazing show. It's Friday. So I just feel like the energy is going to be extremely positive. The traders recap, which now traders is releasing episodes on a one a week basis, which I do feel like I didn't know that I do feel like I can maybe start doing Friday recap. So if you're open to that. But for now, it's I haven't watched. We'll have to sync up on Thursday. Last night I was finishing my homework for the redheads. I finished the book. We're recording today. So that was my homework last night. But I'm excited to watch traders one episode. It's tough though, because once I get into it, like I need more. I mean, 100%. Like whoever Netflix ruined TV by like giving us the entire season at once. We all became so accustomed to this way of like binging shows. And now they reverted back to like they'll drop like five episodes of a new season and then one a week one a week. And now everybody copies what Netflix does. So Netflix just sort of ruined my life with that. And now watching yet one traders episode a week. This is not going to work. Yeah. I I'm feel both ways about it. Like yes, they ruined us. And now they're like, you know, subjecting us to withdrawals. Yeah. And the other hand, like the term binge is never going to be a healthy thing to do in any sense. Yeah, but they started it. And like when the whole season comes out, it's like you can't check Twitter at any point in the season until you finish it because like there's spoilers everywhere. So I do kind of like like watching with the people. Yeah. A woman of the people. So am I, but I just get like my habits as a consumer changed because of Netflix. And now when things are getting released weekly, the pit, like I'm in hell. But as like a working mother now, if something was released all at once, I would not have the bandwidth to just like sit in Benj at the last time I did that was secret lives of more mives. And that was because I just had a baby. Like it would be too much pressure. So you know what the timing works for me in my life. If we go back to one episode a week, even though I like a little bit more, I'll be okay. Yeah. They keep they leave you wanting more. That's the point. We also Queenie and we need today. And we have stories. And would you be able to describe those stories for me in perhaps three words? I can describe it in one word. Okay. Ars. Oh, it's right. So here's three words. It's giving us. It's giving us. The stories are where you make them. Yeah. And it's more so like rounding out the week, putting a button on certain conversation. This really was a crazy week with like a lot of crazy week and like developing stories. I honestly could not take on another new story. It's true between the back ums, the baltonies and the blakes. We're going to be struggling a lot of stories right now and we're going to set our balls down by the end of the day. Today, that's the goal for today's episode. That's the intention I'm setting. Okay. So you're kind of being intentional. I'm being intentional in my authenticity for sure. I don't feel like that's new for you. I think you are constantly showing up here with an intention to be authentic. I think that's true. It would be so much energy to be anything but I think we're all authentic. I think we are all authentic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that's ever really been a question. No, we get accused of a lot of things but being authentic is certainly not one of them. No. It wouldn't work for us. We do too much kind of, we wouldn't be able to like keep our... The mask on. Oh yeah. For an hour a day. We also bought a mask on yesterday. We did play mask on. And we went to this like busy card room and everybody was stopping us being like, are those? Oh my mask on tiles. It's like, is that the Chanel jacket? Yeah, the Chanel boots. Yeah. And everyone loved our matte and tiles. They're from Omai Magiung. They're so pargy. And it was just really fabulous. Neither of us got mad, John. And we were like 50% of the table. And so like the fact that neither one of us ended up winning was like a portrait reflection on our family, I think. I guess so. But like this was my third time playing. Yeah. I'm still learning how to be good, you know. And I'm just... I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be a part of it. It's more a poor reflection on me. I just sat there the whole time talking about like how I've been playing since high school. I mean, while I had a game, I was young one time. Maybe shut up. I just learned. Stop telling you about that. I just learned yesterday. Yeah, I'm pretty good for someone who just learned. Wow, she's really good. And she just learned. Can you believe that? Also a major update in my life. Like we're officially a play pen household, you know. I met a send you a picture this morning because it arrived. Of course, I had to get like a collapsible one because I'm not about to like... Like sacrifice your living room. It's just not gonna work. Like in the recent week or two, we've started to move a lot, you know. Move in. Move in and groove in. Roovin. Roovin is groovin' and moving. Grovin' with raven. And so we would like put up pillows all over the room so we didn't like roll into a table or anything. And I was like, I think it's time for these voluels. So I got an Amazon like this collapsible thing that I can like take with me when we go back to New York. And it's perchy. Are you gonna build it up and break it down every day? Of course, that's why I didn't get like the one. There's like $300 ones that like you set up and you leave. It's like a playroom. Yeah, this one's like a big ass pack and play that you just like, you know, you pull it up and then it goes in some closet. Cause yeah, like I made up at home but I still like... I still care about like clutter, things of that nature. What? I always just think of that clip of that show. What's that show? I always think of this clip. No idea what you're talking about. The guy in dream cheap skates. No one like, guys. Excuse me. Who lives in like an apartment and he won't buy anything. I mean, I buy so much. And he sits on the cardboard box on the floor that he... Think of me. Repurposing. As his table, it's like this one piece of cardboard. And what about this cardboard man reminds you of me? It's just you. Like you're like a swirly version of that. But like, oh my god, I've sent you the clip before you were very offended. I don't even remember so I'm getting reoffended all over again. Have to find it. No, I don't think that you do. And what about me getting a collapsible pack and play pen? I don't. For my son, it makes me an extreme cheap skate who lives with one cardboard box. It's what the thing it was even with this guy just like you, it's not like just about money. You did mention $300. So it was a little bit about money. It's just about like the having of things and like things in the room. So he's like, push his card for the next. I'm deeply, deeply offended. Yes, I'm deeply, deeply offended. And I don't relate to this cheap skate. I don't know his name. I don't know him at all. I resent the accusations. I'm an extremely generous person. You're not. Ooh, what is she going to show us? Is that a new bag? It's a new bag, a new wallet. Yeah. And yeah, where I keep all my money because I'm not a cheap skate. Is that what? Here, $100. What a cheap person do that. Even though I just give you $100. Like to me, like you and ask me to take it back. And give me that money back. What am I doing? Rewarding this wedge. No, here. Jess. Just to prove I'm not cheap. I understand. But I'm not giving it to the girl who just called me cardboard box homeless man. No, he has a home. He has a home. He has an apartment. Like he just likes his box. He doesn't want to buy a apartment sugar. I just like, I just can't fucking tell you. Okay. It was at the having of things. Yeah, so I care about clutter. Like obviously you choose to live in a pig's side. That's fine. Different strokes. Of course, I would never make fun of you or compare you to anyone so derogatoryally. Just different strokes. You know, you guys know, and so yes, I got a play pen. That was my major life update. Just kind of huge things happening at my house. Well, I'm excited for you. I'm excited for Raven to be Graven. Yeah, he is Graven and May Oven. Me and Ben, like figured out Ruby's bar mitzvah theme. Like I yearn out a year ago because he's not even a year. But like three months ago, we've not been able to stop planning it. Like I cannot wait for the affair. Obviously it's going to be disco themed. And like the merch and everything is going to say Groven with the Reuben. Because that Ruby's like, heber name is Reuben. His full name is Ruben. So Groven with Ruben. If you're like from the old country, Graven with Reuben. I'll be Graven with Reuben. And I'm looking forward to seeing you shaking that thing with Reuben. It's going to be very studio for you. Very good to be back on. Yes, exactly. I can't wait to see you in appropriate dance. I can't wait. That is going to be a time. That was bar mitzvah season. Bar mitzvah season. As a parent. Uh-huh. Yeah. Because we thought like we were crazy when we were 12, like in the photo booth. And now. No, and I didn't even feel like we were crazy. Like we were having fun. But it did feel like a listen. It was like a party. Of bar mitzvah is like kind of an interesting timing. It is the cusp of manhood and womanhood. But like as a 12 and 13 year old, you can't really like appreciate the party for what it is. No, sweet 16s are much more like age appropriate in terms of being able to appreciate the affair. No, like people like might have like been like smuggling in like wine coolers to a sweet 16. And that really wasn't happening at bar mitzvah. No, no, no, not at all. That would be really, and I'm sure some people like to drink at bar mitzvah season. Like at bar mitzvah, that's insane. When they're 12, you mean? Yeah. No, that's real. That's too young to start drinking. 413. How did we get here? Oh, my play pen. So yeah, he's just starting up so fast. And he's great. And he's great, even. Great, even. Yeah. Rubel. Um, what's it with you? Not too much. Long night. Long night. Yeah. We had a couple good runs. But it was back. It was back to the three hour window. So that was rough. But we're here. We did it. We did. I can sleep in tomorrow. So I'm excited about that. And what else? We're recording Redhead's day. So I got to get with my gals. Huge day for the community. And today is the first day of the new format, where I'm not. Oh, hands off. Where I'm not doing the whole episode. So I'm just sort of showing up to this podcast that's being produced for me. I can't wait. Okay. Hopefully it's still good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, we're just changing it a little. Listen, change is good. I agree. I don't. You don't? No, I'm really like an anti-change person. You are. Have you become more or less anti-change? My life has changed by design. Yeah. And it's been wonderful. But has that made you more? But I also feel like my life hasn't changed. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm so me. You're still say mode Koji. Say mode carboard Koji. I know. Carboard Koji's corner. And I have to find a clip for you. I think you'll really find it funny. Like it's really not offensive. He's on TV. It's so true. He's more famous than us. Okay.

Our first story, no particular order, no order of importance. Harry Styles drops his first new single in nearly three years with aperture, not to be confused with apata. Also not to be confused because again, the song was in a circle, and I was thinking, rap sure, I could not find the beginning of the word. Sure, a pair. Q-recht, literally, like Tupperware. It's aperture, so it's his first song from his new disco album. I heard it was very techno, very dance-like, so I was so excited to listen on my commute because I am a techno girl now. I didn't enjoy it, I didn't finish it. What did you think? So it was five minutes long, which I just think is like a crazy length for a song. Not a long intro. It did, lots of synth. I just think it's a big length for a song, and if you are going to cross the four-minute mark, these days songs are literally two minutes and 30 seconds. I hate that. I feel like the sweet spot is like 330. If you're going to go above 430, it has to be like... All two well-timed minutes. Like a Hall of Fame type of song. Oh, he enapsed it. Exactly. This is not that, and I do feel like it's a new sound, and I don't like to make a judgment on a new sound. I've only listened to it once. Ask me on Monday. That's fair, you can't get to new sounds. You can't. It's a minute to get used to, but also you can break the mold and expect people to get it. It's a very Nicki Minaj. You're not going to get the song the first time you hear it. And we need people making new sounds. That's what a great artist would do. I will give him run. I agree with you on that. I'm not making any sort of decree as to it being terrible or being bad. It's different, which is, you know, we should embrace different. But it didn't immediately make me feel like that's my jam. Turn it up. Especially because he said it was a disco album. Disco does have a specific sound. Disco already exists. It was like new disco. I don't know. I just want to say the thing about disco though, like those songs immediately hit. So again, I'll leave space for a new sound. Some of the lyrics seems to be struggling about his lady love perhaps. He said it's best you know what you don't aperture. Let's let the light in. Of course, let's the light in. I didn't even. We prefer to a camera's aperture. So it controls how much of an image is visible to the photographer and affects the brightness and depth of the field of the image. Right. So I didn't even listen to the lyrics because I was just like listening to the sound. But I didn't know that like I wouldn't get it because I don't even know what the word aperture means. So it means an opening hole or gap. Okay, hole. Do you think it's like sexual? No, it's something about like a space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera. It's not sexual. It's drugs, you know, like. I thought it was like media. It's like trippy stuff. Oh, it was giving media. It's giving like. Sharon, you know. So it's not giving media. It's giving like light reflection hallucination. Oh, so you think him and so are doing drugs? No, it's just like. Hmm, yeah. You know, sort of. Like a foggy, you can't see. You know, yeah. And then he also announced a couple of residencies like many residencies. We knew he was going to be doing it. It's so to scoded. I'm here. Like, I'm telling you he's creating stability. That was all right. Yeah, exactly. That's actually a really good time for him in Zoe. Like the fact that he's like touring in this unique and different way so we can spend more time in one place like with his lady love. And post up. Now he announced it with a bunch of it was like a carousel. Post-er for London and then a picture of two people kissing. Post-er, poster of whatever. Amsterdam and a picture of two people kissing. And it was like this like, you know, very raw, like unedited, like sexy rape. Did you not see them? So I saw some people kissing. I didn't really, I didn't watch the whole carousel. Yeah. And it was just like new pictures every time. And it was like, I don't know what that like aesthetic is called where it's like no airbrush, like sweaty like. Rave make out. Like, and it was just like not graphic because it's like everyone's clothed in kissing. It was just like a lot of tongue. Okay, let's see. Harry style. Yeah. Graphic. Keep going. Oh. Well, I feel safe when I'm on the tour. Yeah, right. On the tour. And I just like don't understand. Yeah, right. Tongue. I don't really understand like the aesthetics so far of this album. Like it doesn't feel good.

Wow. I love to see your tongue. Yeah. Yeah. I feel really Happy for everyone who's gonna get chose like they don't have to come to New York Yeah, you know what do not come like we don't need all these people coming, you know, um We always knew he would like do stuff out of New York But it's also cool that he's like posting up in whatever location like it's very toscoded We've always said if we ever did a tour. That's how we would do it He's also doing like a little bit of press like very unique choices like he went on you know John Mayer has a serious XM show I think it's Radio Andy And so Harry interviewed him. Uh, excuse me. He interviewed Harry like talking about music and stuff And then he went on some I think it was like BBC radio and I was really appreciative that this person sort of followed up full circle I'm asking Harry why he was at the popes Remember when they announced the new pope and everybody like ran Yeah, he was spotted there. Yeah, he was like I was in Rome. I was getting a haircut and I'm getting my hair cut and people start screaming and what they've elected a new pope but in Italian thank you and he was saying la papa whatever Everyone scream me and the hairstyle was to scream me It they finish up his haircut really quickly because a guy wants to go. It's like a historic thing And Harry was like well, I was there and you know, it was like a big deal. So I went oh cool. Yeah I wonder what other shows so do so far the ones that you said seemed congress with someone who's like focused on the music And then I do feel like if you want to get in the podcast gaming or focused on the music like you talked to Jake Shane. I know But he's also um Harry was remote from ever like you No, Harry's like I'm telling you he's really happy in his relationship He's doing John mayor. He was sitting on some green couch and the new sitting on the same couch with like wired headphones in like very low budget production For the other radio show um, he's not he's not wanting to move He's not like thirsty out doing a press war, but I just want to say like and I like I like choosing stability But like you go like he could go of course no like he's acting like like he's a you're supposed to be a provider like get up and go to work. Yeah, like He's acting like a mama like who a new mama At first I think he said Malala like I can leave Malala out of this um, yes, no, he's acting like a new mother And so I could say like maybe him and Zoe like expecting or something, but like you could still go in person Yeah, no, and it's also like at some point like leave your house You're a man you are here to provide he's acting like he's acting like us Like even the the residency thing. Yeah And we do those things like to be comfortable and like work like balance being your kids like like as like new mama's Post-partum women. Yeah, we're allowed to do that like you kind of like man you still got a war, you know You could go see John mayor in person. I wonder if he'll do like any press outside like off his couch I hope so yeah, and the chain maybe it doesn't want to travel So if jacaine goes abroad everyone like we know why but maybe he wants to like stay he's in the UK But like there's locks and I also Graham Norton Graham Norton. Yeah, I also feel like if you were gonna do jacaine Like it would kind of be already happening recorded. Maybe it maybe it's coming out or like this we you know name yeah We'll see we shall see are you ready for our next story Yeah, we done trashing Harry's dials for the day. I think so I feel good. I feel all set. It feels right Next Ryan Reynolds is torched by fans over his cringey male. He allegedly sent to an ends with us author Colleen Hoover They're so but every day we stop supporting and there's more I don't even know which one to pick on a given day, but this just feels like covers a lot of areas so Ryan Reynolds correspondences are also being Shared he wrote and I want to say shout out to jumeau Mm-hmm because there's so much stuff. I'm sorry. I'm not reading court documents It's just like now what I want to do with my life. I didn't go to law school like this is not my plate But jumeau is finding the relevant media and she's end making graphics on her instagram and like transcribing them And they just feel like the text is bigger and it's like I don't know why it feels more palatable to me So if you're wanting to be editorialized a little bit. Yes, and I think jumeau is actually doing a very good job I agree um, so let's get into the email that Ryan Reynolds wrote to Colleen Hoover I'm sending you literally every form of congratulations. I see this sky while jumping up and down and rapidly happy clapping at one point I was three feet from you at the after party, but I wasn't able to extricate myself from the so many studios chairman's mouth I'm still in here and I'm a little shocked. I have service holy fuckity fuck you guys really pulled it off like Colleen This thing is on fire everywhere and audiences have wrapped both arms around the film You and B made something gorgeous out of ingredients you didn't ask for which is what makes you both in this whole post production team so clutch I heard you guys got a tummy bug in your stuck in New York. I can't think of anything worse Although it might be your body reading itself of any residual baldoni I'd rather be puking in a gulag than hijacking performative feminism while practicing personal growth Catch phrases in the mirror. I hope you're taking a moment to enjoy this I know the road wasn't always easy and clear what a complete fucking witnesses I know we all breathe rare air. I realize how lucky be our but I also know how genuinely good you and B are I could literally write you 84 more paragraphs you Ulyjizing what this all means to me, but mainly. I'm just incredibly proud and inspired by you and B So like just in their writing styles um belake lively and Ryan Reynolds are quite literally made for one another like There are not two people like more um weird like In there are both verbose um rinjie kind of like drew Barrymore interviews people and like touches faces like I feel like they're touching faces Blankily help me with the word written writtenly like what's the word trans scribbly yeah What's the word like orally audibly but like for writing Literally oh Yeah, probably um now It's very you know what Blake and Ryan have been accused of from the very beginning is like taking over this movie And I feel like all the media that's been released text messages emails screenshots whatever like has sort of proved that right like Blake thinks that like there's no good first-time director Was not in kit was not capable of a movie this size and she took it over her edit made the theater So like they did successfully sort of take it over um and I guess that's bad because like it's mean But it's like not a crime. I think the issue was about the second movie Like they took over this movie and then I think they were gonna try and like take the second one from him and because also his character doesn't really like it's Exist in this it's like a very subplot. So I think he felt like he had put everything he had it like But I'm the right and producing the movie and they like we're gonna cut him out of it Yeah, and now like it's just funny because there will be no second right there never could be a second movie No, and I if I'm like take if I'm trying to be like like see things from Justin Paldoni's perspective like that sucks Like this was his idea he bought the rights from Colleen like he saw it before anyone else did Um and he like probably was excited to cast Blake lie that like this huge char and her and her big time husband like ended up like Seymour owing the whole thing and it just it could have gone on to be like a huge franchise That I'll out twilight. Yeah, it's this beloved book the movie was there is a sequel There is a sequel you could keep it going and like they were taking that from him This would have been his big paid right now how that has any legal or criminal bearings Like I don't know why we're talking about this in court. It just seems like sort of like school yard like okay Yes, and I feel like it has been proven they stole the movie they were probably difficult to work with The whole thing um that got us here is sexual harassment like so I don't really understand and this is I'm not reading the court documents So maybe if I read every single page I would understand I'm not really understanding what them taking over the movie has to do with the allegations of sexual harassment and like onset in appropriate behavior Has because one of those is that is a crime like he accused of a crime. I think that He said they took over his movie and then I think their rebuttal is like well You know in addition to incompetence there was onset in appropriate behavior So I know what it is actually what it is is that I mean Like I think they're they pushed him they're saying they pushed him out of movie because he was in a in addition to incompetence Which we see like inappropriate behavior with Blake with other people sexual harassment So yeah, we kind of pushed you out of your room And so as far as I know based on everything I've seen so far like it hasn't been disproven that he Didn't sexually harass well hasn't proven well they deposed his Blake libelies driver who said like she with he witnessed like a really uncomfortable conversation in Blake's car about Like him having non-concentral sex and he said that he would after that didn't feel comfortable leaving Blake alone with this guy Jenny slate The podcast hosts said Lots of red like there It has not been disproven and allegations have been made by like a couple people now Right, but I think you have to prove something like it's not about no, I think it's the opposite you have to prove that it didn't happen I have to pray he's like countersuing you have to please countersuing I think no, but I just think in general you have to prove that like it's you the burden on of proof is on like the Person making an allegation. Yeah, but is she making an allegation like in court or just like In the public and we're just in New York times. She filed like an employment suit. There's a lot right so all I know is like I don't know I'm No one wants to hear what I have to say but like I'm not like Where is the where is the actual proof that Blake lively wasn't sexually harassed and that she made it up Like where's that well that you can't like prove a negative right, but there is supporting evidence that he did There's like the wait the driver's the witness like that stuff isn't getting blown up like of course the Taylor Swift thing is getting blown up But there was a deposition with her driver who said he witnessed like a definitely an inappropriate conversation There was a voice memo when he was like I'm sure your baby's lying on your breasts right now like weird things You would Boston never say to you the young girl who said the inappropriate comment about her losing her virginity Jenny Slate um like so What so how does everybody know Blake libelies making this up like what piece of information am I missing? I don't they don't like her. She's annoying and her and her husband stole the movie facts, right? That's facts now What does that have to do with sexual harassment and like because she stole a movie she's lying Like I'm genuinely asking like it's it's generally been decided that Blake libelie made all this up I don't like that's what the internet believe you know Okay, I can't go by the internet. I'm just going like and also like the most strange people have takes on I don't like really read stuff by crazy people So I'm just like going based on what I'm seeing mm-hmm. So I think like all of these things happened yes Stealing a movie isn't a crime creatively and I also would love to know like why the Sony People went with Blake's movie which was allegedly worse Also, then there's other documents that like show Sony sex like kind of talking shit about Blake right And also, I don't know like that. Yeah, she's like a big Bigger star. I don't know if they would like throw a whole movie away to appease this one person like if her if her version was so bad Well her versions, but you saw so I thought it was good So it wasn't so bad and it was a successful movie. It was a hundred million dollars real movie right But it tested worse and I know those focus groups like are people you don't live and die by the focus group I think like you're supposed to like take it into account It's not like yeah, it's not the end all be all um But yeah, like all this all these documents like her and Ryan and it's Ryan wasn't even hired like girl get out of here like they stole the movie They hated Justin It seems like they hated Justin because Blake felt like he was of course incompetent, but also Inapropriate yeah, but I will say like in these Things that we're seeing like it's more so about hating him as a person. Yes, and like I feel so like they say was the nightmare to work with him Because he's this fake feminist and he's so obnoxious and whatever narcissist. There's not a lot of references to the harassment Um Not that there has to be all the time, but it does seem to be more about like the personality clashing. Yes, and her disliking him Just for that other not because of and like the who brist and ego of him Yeah, I don't know Yeah, I think all everything that everyone said happened. So can we just let it all go You're all wrong. Yeah, except that like if everything that everybody said happened happened They're not the same like her and Ryan stealing a movie because they think they're big stars and they're probably insufferable like ego-tiss It's not the same as like your boss sexually harassing you. So I feel like people are treating both things as equal and they're not Yeah, but inapropriate comments is what we've seen. Yeah, he's been accused of sexual harassment Walking in and her with the boobs out breastfeeding like you know all those things You Didn't she tell like yeah, but if you tell someone to walk it like you can come see me breastfeeding one time That's not a free pass. We know that yes. I know that and I've only recently realized that because it did happen to me where I was like Someone like saw me breastfeeding once and then like every time I was breastfeeding they kept coming in I'm like well no We know like so you know Yeah, it's like no, but so Blake's allowed to feel some type of way about that. Yeah But he's also like we thought it was okay Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if it was if that was like the one thing like sure But like it seems like there's a lot of uncomfortable situations from this one person But then again, it's also like a movie about uncomfortable things and like having a man direct all these women is already like a little It's a girl. I can't hear you're also the star like So it can be uncomfortable no matter what yeah, I don't know. I'm just like I'm not ready to hop Hop off yet. I'm not ready to like jump down like libelies throw like she's annoying. She's cringy Her and her husband like definitely think that their shit doesn't sink They could do whatever they want and they almost got away with it. Yeah, all of those things. Yes Mm-hmm There's also other stuff that I think is like bigger Yeah Yeah, it's just in these filings at least right now like what we're see they keep alluding to like The nightmare on the thing yeah working with him was a nightmare. Yeah, I can't even this is all post production We're not getting a lot of production stuff. Yeah, maybe that will come in his defense Like they'll put forth those things as we get closer to trial to defend himself like there wasn't I didn't do anything wrong um But they keep talking about what happened on set without telling us in a big way. Yeah, just in like a in past tense. Yeah, and Maybe I'll feel differently. I just feel I kind of feel like a little crazy like everybody's like hates my takes and I'm just like I don't know I feel like and I and I read a lot and I I watch like a lot of TikToks Mostly from people who didn't don't like who are team Baldoni Yeah, and I don't know. I just don't find it compelling I and I'm not just like Blind I'm not just like digger. I'm not even care about these people But I even huge lively fan. I'm not a Justin Mel Doni fan like I'm not digging my boots in just because like I this whole time said that I hate Justin Mel Doni and like I don't want to be wrong if I if I really felt like my opinion Change I would say it like it would be like a whole thing. I am not maybe I'll get there But like I don't know the more I read I'm like okay Nothing Blake at lively has been accused of like is criminal If being annoying was a crime she would be in prison and if being insufferable was a crime she would be in prison But like those are not crimes sexual harassment is and she stole a movie stealing is a crime no it's not like creatively stealing steamrolling over someone It's not a crime And I feel like there's so much that's come out and of course like the big headlines are the Taylor Swift and cringe text messages But there are also things like The deposition of her chauffeur that like nobody's talking about Because it does sort of support her claim when was that when was what the deposition it's in all these filings. I don't know when he was deposed um Yeah, also I saw stuff yesterday more about the birthing scene which has always bothered me yeah like an uncomfortable set Actually, I whenever I think about like that I think it's crazy that he said his wife gave birth naked like how you can birth that a bra is insane no and in a hospital I've never heard of like but people who do home bursts and like give birth and yeah give birth naked um But I've never heard of in a hospital. So that's just like a fun fact. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Yeah, so that's like I don't like that It's icky And yet but like not A crime no and the movie really does deal with like such sensitive topics that there was never gonna be a world in which like nobody felt uncomfortable at all Um, so I do think some of the things you can chalk up to like it being just a really sensitive movie covering a lot of sensitive topics um But I don't know Yeah, I just feel like the big storyline about like Blake being an owing and And cringe and like Like a celebrity. What else do you expect from these like egotistical people who their whole lives been told how amazing they are like She's definitely difficult to work with why that is a bigger headline than like all of the weird things jets and baldoni is saying headlines can keep like there are so many headlines. That's what's be like like that's what I say like You're taking the deep away. That's what everyone's clipping is the Well, at least right now it's all her correspondences. So yes, like that's what Everyone's really focusing on plus with Taylor like that's always gonna be the big of course Of course no everyone wants to hear a Taylor said more than the driver Of course, but like the driver is more pertinent to the case than Taylor But I also imagine that um well also like Taylor was really involved And by the way, did you see where and when they the car's violence where Blake wrote you've like thank you so much You were amazing. You say another movie from the graveyard. It'll be the second movie you pulled out of a grave What's the first no and like what and so when a year ago or whatever when he said like Taylor and Blake Like inspired to take my movie from me. He sounded crazy He did and she said I'll release my dragons. They could be your dragon right my team like He's talking about this like they kind of did yes Definitely and that's crazy and that's just like for me. That's tea Exactly like this is like legal tea. Yeah, no, but it's like that's tea I don't know why you all are in court Yeah, and I've said this for a while now they need to meet the two of them they are destroying each other and themselves and they need to just say and walk away from this That's so funny. I don't feel like Justin Meldoni is being destroyed I think there was a moment in time when she first released in that whole New York Times thing where he Was on the brink of destruction like he was basically there and he fought back tooth and nail and I think it's pretty overwhelmingly bad for Blake And now Justin I feel like he's been vindicated. Okay. That's just how I feel based on public perception And when it's up happening in court like might not then I didn't change that what you just said But it proves why he had to fight tooth and nail and do all of this because like he when that New York Times thing came Goodbye, Justin Meldoni. No, it's insane how quickly And how drastically it went from one extreme to the other. Yeah, and don't forget like the summer of hating Blake lively. Yes, and then Wow, it's been it's been all such a long time because this was last last summer. Yeah, it was The other and then in December she did her big thing and almost you know almost one And he did not give up and now we're over a year later Not even in court yet Yeah, it's been a long time. It's been a long time coming So yeah, it's a lot Yeah, I understand it's emotional like and if someone could just explain to me like how they know Blake Lively's lying like about the sexual harassment like what Like it's not that they know that she's lying. They just don't believe she has yet to prove it got it That's all I think okay, and so we're just not we just don't believe I thought we were believing women like I thought that was the party line well it depends on the woman who you are And I think it also depends on the woman like okay the woman's annoying and the women is like for other for other you know small Peabrained people right, but I'm saying in general like here like yes, we we shall Endeavor to believe women, but you have to prove something as well, right? And so because she stole a movie maybe that makes her a less believable victim is that I'm genuinely just trying to understand I can't again to the mind of a pea brain No, not even a pea brain somebody smart who like is Justin Bell don't believe you don't believe Blake Lively was sexually harassed because she stole a movie And she's like a bitch is that why like bitches can't be harassed I can't answer this question. I'm just curious on behalf of people that I don't agree with yeah I and I don't listen to their takes on tics. I actually know I do and like the whole thing is like well look look at like look at what's happened this week What that has to do with sexual harassment? I'm not sure Not a lot has happened to do with sexual harassment this week though. No, but it has been proven that her and her husband stole the movie Like he was getting involved. It's not his movie They were using their big a list money connects powers even him saying look I was in the mouth of a Sony exec everybody in Hollywood up until recently like eighth their ass So they used all their powers to steal a movie from someone they didn't think was capable of doing it Yes, that has been proven yeah, I personally would like to focus on like the crimes more so than the movie stealing Our next story some memoir news Gaden penitier getting a memoir treatment. She's revealed the cover of her new memoir Not called memoirs of a Hayden. It is called this is me O reckoning okay, I will never say anything bad about hate and penitier like she deserves all of our love and support It is a bad memoir name as somebody who just like for a living criticizes memoirs names That is the best part of our job. I would say my criticism with this memoir name is that it could be anyone's memoir name Yeah, right. This is me right a reckoning. It could be chaos settles. It should be chaos settles 1000% but who's the last person that we said was writing their memoirs like I know This is me so I would have loved something else Now getting past because we're not supposed to judge a book by its cover nor its title I don't think there's somebody more poised to write a name being in memoir. I mean Let alone her like prolific child acting career um And she almost made it out of like that trope of child actors She was doing quite well until she had a baby and I think that really sent her into like a very rare But but not spoken about like enough case of like true postpartum psychosis like postpartum depression She had to give up custody of her daughter like and then she had you know Terrible things happen in her family separately from that So it's Really sad what's happened to hate and panic here and I feel like the way everybody feels not like Amanda binds Um like would be just like want to route like hate and panic here doesn't get enough love because she's really not in the public eye Like she's taking a step back, but like she deserves All the love like everybody buy her book even if you don't know how to read. I will be reading it. It's due this spring I'm gonna read it and really how she talks about my head. I hope she talks about Nashville. Okay, so um like Where we're saying has like this TV that has like Samsung TV plus. I told you that's where I found the Martha Stewart show and It has the most my frame have since the Martha Stewart show It's like some song yeah, but like this TV whenever you turn on just takes you know how like in New York You put on your TV takes you to New York one.

He was sweet. He always comes to our red carpet.

Okay. Let's go Let's go. I like I don't think often about hate and panateer So if you would have asked me like who would celebrity would write the best memoir I she wouldn't even come to mind but she's really she's up there with the grades. Yeah, I think this will be a right book I think so too Our next and you know and memoirs don't have to be held back by their titles like even if you think of our favorite celebrity memoir Jessica Simpson open book open book that could also be anyone. It's generic. It wasn't like Chicken of the books, you know Tuna of the book Tuna of the the literary aisle. What's up the sea?

It's not progress. It's theft to plain and simple. How are they stealing their work? They use you know their name and likeness and also like sounds and well Scarlett joe Hanson had that crazy saga where like an AI company that has like a like a Siri type of Boy Sky was using her voice which is illegal. Yeah, that's a big one. They were found guilty like I feel like This is confusing because our like the law is pretty clear like on copyright and stuff So if any AI companies is using any of these celebrities name and likeness without their consent Like that is illegal and they are entitled to compensation. I think are they taking this stance against AI in general or just AI like scruiting the law AI scruiting law in terms of using copyright and material like I imagine like using you know I've seen from a film and putting someone else's face on it like stuff like that like yes I remember chat just recently they had like a so you know they have like a different they own a thing called Soma or whatever Oh the video one. Yeah, so era so era right and they were using like a lot of movies and like Jake Paul space and and yes that So that would be like I think that's among the things that they're talking about and I think that they are fighting for like more licensing Basically to get paid for like AI I think so. It's a lot of things as opposed to not using it at all um Got it so they don't really inherently have an issue with AI It's more so I don't think you can like fight AI happening right So this is just kind of like a niche issue for them. It's hard for me to personally care About like scruelagoans and not getting more money and but like even though like I believe that she's right Um and like sorry that happened to you and like they weren't mad when robots were taking other jobs right of like coal miners So like again that doesn't mean that their causes wrong robots could not call my bones coal mine mine the coals right um Like sorry Agreed good luck with that. Yeah Yeah to T.Y.L You know everyone's got their own battle to fight and I just want to say one thing Open ladders Effective question mark. I don't think so and I think I I'm personally at open letter fatigue And they're so performant when I see an open letter even if I agree with what they're saying I don't agree like I it's not that I disagree with writing an open letter You know say what you want do what you want read the press. I just It's really hard for me to care like they're so performing. I mean it's like There's an open letter and then like a bunch of slavery sound like an opposing open letter It's like battle of the open letters and it's like you know what I prefer the Morgan letters I do prefer the Morgan ladder. Yeah, so good luck with that Yeah, it's really just about numbers because they say these three people and then 700 others Oh, and I want to talk about these three people obviously you lead with Scarlett. I mean I said it's like wow. Who is the second? K-Plancheon You know then we get to Joseph Gordon love it and I Loved Joseph Gordon love it if 500 days a summer has no fans. I passed away But like that's the third most famous person on your list like seriously good luck No, and also some of these open letters. I mean this is like whatever Hollywood stuff But some of these open letters will be like 600 scientists said and it's like someone's in eighth grade science class And it's the eighth grader. They use a lot of big like generalization. Yeah, so you know you really have to Really look at the list of signatories. Yeah, and I'm just like And I don't want to look at the list I'm just over open letter culture. I agree and I agree you know and yes you this So a closed letter is like the male like I think a closed letter But it's like yes, you don't the public doesn't know that like you send this letter to the AI companies Yeah, why don't people try closed letters like I'm just like try something now Yeah, I think people like a you know an open letter is a great way to get your name out It's so true because when they do great way to like generate press for yourself about it Send out an open letter. It almost always comes with like a press release Yeah, and then like you look cause driver. Uh-huh. Your name is in the press and you didn't really have to like do that much And it looks like you care about something Slay the house down boots scarlet Yeah Our bitten finals story Kyle Cook is addressing potential financial implications in Amanda Patula breakup This was the well-bearedest break up. It's right and this was also the weirdest you think okay is being You know, stay speaking for the first time on his divorce 10 years in the making and it's literally like somebody following him around with a phone He's outside of the road. Yeah, and it's not it's not like an airport TMZ or anything. It's just like his intern feeling Oh, it's Adam Glenn. Yeah, okay, actually no him. Yeah Who is he he is like a paparazzi who started his own social media Um, and now I was like he has really good relationships with celebrities reality starts to Um because he is like a successful paparazzi So he thinks like a paparazzi for hire so they all really like him And now he does like a lot of man on the street kind of I actually see his stuff Everywhere it's so good for him what he got the scoop Yeah, this is okay. I'm just interesting online speculation that Amanda could potentially get saddled with some of his debt from lover boy He said I see he took out personal loans right instead of raising more money He said I've seen a bunch of videos pop up talking about divorce and the financial implications I don't think a lot of people really understand the intricacies of my business to begin with is their debt Yeah, I took a small business business loan. He said I actually have no idea He admitted adding that he and his strange wife don't really plan to get to that point So I guess hopefully they could just like split amicab I imagine they never really like merged finances or anything like a very modern marriage before you have kids like I said that she was like very involved in lover boy lover boy building you know doing the branding building into like helping out where it is I I don't know if she would just like walk away from all of that but maybe for her piece she would Yeah, and I think like I think I said this the other day there was a time where I do feel like it actually would have been really hard for her to walk away I think the company at one point was actually worth a lot of money And now the space is like very saturated and I don't think they have like a huge market charity more And I think they did take on a lot of debt And so now I think it's maybe easier for her to walk away be like yeah Maybe this company will sell for a lot of money It might not and like for my piece I can go Um, maybe I'll give her like a percentage of it But didn't you say on the show that he had taken out a personal loan a small business loan would not affect your partner It affects the business you take out the loan on the business Where you get into trouble is where you start to take out personal loans and you can't you know if you default on those loans Then like your house gets taken that's what happens, you know like and like a lot of big scandals So I remember I'm saying on the show that he had taken out a personal loan I don't know that I can't And if he did that would be incumbent on Amanda I also believe Amanda Amanda Amanda is um personally wealthy her family So I just imagine like she's not terribly worried Yeah, I think I hope I think they'll be able to just like both walk away Like he said we hope to not get to that point I think it should be as like mess free as a divorce could be Even though they do have this like entity between them Yeah We'll see Um Well weiner and weiner Queener and weiner Subriner the weiner never Today's Queenie and weane our fifth no our Our final excuse me segment of the week every Friday Jackie and I like to do a little segment We call Queenie and weeney of the week or we deliver two awards A rose in a thorn if you will to a queenie of the week somebody who acted like a queenie of the week And weeney somebody who was being major weeney energy this week um Out of choices and if it's okay with you I'd like to go first with my weeney because I We always start with queenie.

I got fresh pieces like he's the queenie of my week Yeah, and like you do expect somebody who like you know is so he was literally like the most famous hair stylist Like he was you would never know he was so normal and so cool like How he was on the show is exactly how he was literally we were like running out of the studio because he had like a book tour to do Making tiktoks he was so down like he gave us everything he left everything on the mic agreed we need So many good options this week now what really took over my week was tell me lots and I know it's like I feel like we He's not even a big enough term for Steven, but like the way he made me feel like was so profound That filming scene like it was really It's like I don't even want to give him we need because how he behaved was so more than a we need it was Diabolical psychopath of the week criminal of the week like seriously jail for you week But he was my weenie of the week like seriously. I fucking hate Steven It's actually crazy when a show makes you feel that's so you know, it's a good show like good and bad Like makes you feel it's such a good show and his performance is really I hope it's a good performance and he's not even remotely like that because he's so believable He is fucking awful. I cannot stand that man reenie also shout out to Colton My weenie's Plural are Brooklyn and Nicola. Oh, of course. I cannot believe that they did what they did Can we talk about a person whose name I swore I would never say on the show, but it has to be said Oh, I just saw that this morning Okay, so a lot of hide into it, but I saw like Nicholas exes sisters talking about how Nicola always wanted to be famous I was like which of her exes has a sister so a lot of hide like the extremely irrelevant awful anti-semitic sister of the Hadeed family chimed in and you know what I actually appreciated it because I had read in a tic-toc comment like so it's really that You know Nicola dated and more Hadeed for four years and I read that at the time he was really a stranger from his family Especially his mom And I was like well, that's convenient if not true and interesting if true And then a lot of chiming in on basically echoing that sentiment and being like you know team Victoria While I hate her with every fiber of my being her perspective is appreciated. Oh Oh, oh, I thought you were saying that she was a weeny Well, she is a weeny, but I just wanted to talk about what she said. Oh, yeah, it seems to just be a pattern. Yeah, which is not good um, and so yeah, I can't believe the two of them wrote that especially like as we discussed this week like We know what's talking about it the moment like we weren't looking for an explanation The two of you could have written off into the sunset and you don't have to like out Just never gonna side with the person that like publicly trashes their family when like the family It seems fine. Yes, you're maybe they're like a little controlling and she dance and she's posh spice So like what do you expect right she shook her hips at the wedding? May I suggest like I do feel like the weeniness really Ways heavy on Brooklyn shoulders like honestly Nicola sleigh your man loves you so much like Him like throwing your mother to Nicola Victoria's just like a mother-in-law to Brooklyn like that's your mom, dude Like I agree the onus is more on him, but you know they're a unit. They're a unit and it's like Megan and Harry Yeah, I know you love to put you're very consistent in that. Yes, you put all the onus on Harry um I think you know the womanly wiles can't be understated so true, but the men falling for it cannot be understated That's our show.
