What surprising moment happened with Prince William on Dancing with the Stars?
Good morning, girlies, it's the toast. It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. They sound amazing.
Welcome back to The Toast. I'm so excited. Everybody's so excited. For my guest co-host today, nobody is better for the job than the woman herself. It's Bethany Frankel. Hello, Bethany. Welcome to The Toast.
Hello. This is so real.
I can't believe you've never been on The Toast before. You're so toasty.
I am toasty?
You're so pop culture. You have an opinion about everything. We're always talking about you on The Toast. I feel like I'm not even going to say anything today. I'm just going to let you do your thing.
Oh, my God. You must say something. I'm just like, this is so real. You're so good at this.
You're so good at this. You look gorgeous. I was saying before, I appreciate you dressing up. You match the set unintentionally, but it's always so nice when people dress up to come on the toast. It's like a little bit of like a sign of respect, you know?
Maybe it's toasty.
It's very toasty.
Cute.
What role is Sabrina Carpenter taking in the new Alice in Wonderland musical?
Okay.
Obsessed with you.
Thank you.
Like you, I don't even know. You've had so many eras and I know you're like thriving and you're TikTok influencer era right now. You're crushing it. And I feel like before you had like your businesswoman era, like your guest shark era, then of course your reality era. And I've been with you, I have to say, through all of them. I was watching Housewives in high school and I was so vested in like the Jill Bethany.
Who is the next A-list guest on Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast?
And so it's really been a pleasure to watch your growth as just a fan. And now having you on the podcast is a dream. We're always talking about you. You're always making news, Bethany.
It's so funny because I think about it. Someone the other day was asking me about, oh, I was speaking at Harvard Business School, and they were asking me about the plan and what my plan was. And the truth is, I haven't really planned any of this at all. So it's always as much of a surprise to me. I thought that I would sort of fade into some version of obscurity when I left reality TV, which most do. They still have some things that they're doing. So that didn't happen the first time, and then I came back to reality TV, left again, it didn't happen.
What is the premise of the Toy Story 5 trailer?
But the second time I left, I thought I was gonna sort of semi-retire. I was just gonna do my podcast, do my relief work, be with my daughter, play around, and it exploded. So it's kind of just, shocking to me as well.
Yeah, I think some people might look at you and say like, you know, if that was me, I might have like, you know, stop doing so much. You still work so hard when you don't really have to.
How are Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's relationship updates being perceived?
You've had a very successful TV career. You sold your business. And so why?
Well, it's a good question because I'm going through, as I told you when I walked in here today, a little bit of a personal crisis, personal professional crisis. It's growing pains. And the answer why is this last couple of years since 2021, when I just was playing around, not realizing this would go viral, didn't even know how to do social media. It was bad lighting. It was like I didn't even know how to use the camera. it exploded. And it's like the tables are hot. And so I always say when the tables go cold, I'll walk out. I have no problem with it. All this is gravy. But the tables went so crazy, the more I turn things down, the more I get, the more I don't want to do it, the more it comes.
What insights does Bethenny Frankel share about her career transitions?
So it's been a very... ironic thing, because my book was a place of yes, but now it's becoming the power of no. The more we say no to things, the more money gets thrown at us, the more that's happening. And most of this is happening sort of behind the scenes, and most people don't realize how massive it is. So because of how massive it is, what I'm building, I have the choice being so close to the end zone, like so close to other extraordinarily big things happening that I can't ignore it. I wanna see how far I can really take this, but it's never been so big.
