Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Monday. I'm back in New York City and let me tell you, the city is alive. It's a lie. People in the streets, like, it's literally, you know that scene in 500 Days of Summer when he finally gets laid and he leaves the house and there's, like, a musical going on outside? There's, like, a flash mob, the birds are chirping. That's what it is.
First of all, it's just, like, gorgeous outside. Every single person is, like, in an amazing mood. There's a real, like, familial sort of energy. Like, everybody's high-fiving.
Everybody's wearing their merch. Everybody knows each other's names.
Literally. Like, fists pounding. You know, you see businessmen. Yeah.
non-businessmen like non-businessmen it's electric that's so beautiful it really is I'm like getting really swept up in it do you feel like a part of something major because you are Yeah. And you know, I know you had to go back for like other things, but you actually like had to be there for this moment.
Of course. No, it was not an option to stay in Florida one minute long.
No, no, no. You have to be there and like experience the camaraderie in the community.
The next one on Friday night and then tonight is game three. So they're up to zero. You have to.

Chapter 2: How does the energy of New York City influence the conversation?
It's the first one to four. Yes. The next the next two games are at home. So like. I don't see how the Knicks don't sweep Knicks in four. Like I don't know how they lose two games in a row at home. Like they're obviously winning tonight. Like there's so much excitement.
Yeah, but sometimes like when you have everything at your back, like that's when it goes wrong. But also wouldn't it be fun if they don't win in four? They win still the series, but there's more games like in this feeling goes longer.
Like, yes, but then they win in Kansas. Where's the game? San Antonio, which is like not so the vibe.
Yeah, they should win here. It behooves them to win here.
And they need to win here because not only are they like prized to win, but they're also currently on track to match the NBA record. So they have not won. They have not lost a game. And I think maybe 12. This is their 12th win in a row in the playoffs. The last time that happened and the only other time it happened was 2017 with the Golden State Warriors.
So if they win the next two, they will match the record for like 14 games in a row. So it's kind of like, it's just, they sort of like have to, they really have no choice.
And for her story.
And for Ben's story. Like there's no option other than winning these next two games. How is Ben's story? My husband is living in a dream. He has never been in a better mood. He's a delight to be around. It's affecting all, business, social, he's firing on all cylinders. He's literally never, ever been happier. And you know, it's infectious. Like I'm into it. Like let's fucking go.
I'm watching like edits on TikTok, like Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, like is Jalen Brunson reincarnated? Like I'm so in it. I see that. Everything I do is for the Knicks.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights from the NBA playoffs?
I had a ball with these products. Like,
when I finished the fifth step I didn't even want to put makeup on my skin actually felt like really donut yeah and it's like there definitely is like it doesn't feel like skincare like you feel ready for something right it feels almost like sticky and it's like stick to me makeup yep but like I was just like a radiant glowing ball by the way you have to at the like end of the day before you take your makeup off show everyone what your makeup looks like like with the back back camera flash
But also yesterday I wore just the primer because I was like really curious. They were just sitting there and I just wore skin makeup yesterday like to go have a day. And I came home, I took my makeup off, I took my shower, whatever. Then I used my toning pads and I had so much makeup on the toning pads still like the makeup didn't come off because it was so stuck on. Love that.
So it does what it says it's going to do. That's beautiful. Yeah, it was a very fun way to start my week.
We have so much to do today. Love Island, Friday and Sunday nights. We have two episodes to recap. We're both fully caught up. That's also fun. I'm a part of that too. I'm just a part of a lot of group things. And tonight, my two group things are sort of conflicting with one another. This is actually second time where the NBA finals and Love Island are on at the same time.
It's not even a question.
The finals.
obviously and then are you gonna watch love island in time for tomorrow's show i don't know the games start at 8 30 which means they actually start at 8 45 like they're ending so late like i'm probably don't look for me tomorrow for a love island recap and i feel like the episode after a recoupling is like never that crazy for me last night was the recoupling um yeah that's what i'm saying so oh the episode after a recoupling is always like sort of low-key i can be getting three new bombshells
I know we're getting three new bombshells, but, like, unfortunately. No, no, it is what it is.

Chapter 4: How do personal experiences shape the discussion on sports fandom?
This time he was outero. Oh, my God. It was literally insane. The art and the culture in this town is just unmatched. The Gazillion Bubbles show was so fucking sick. I love bubbles. We went for me.
They're very exciting.
Bubbles are magic. And then of course, I bought at the merch stand a bubble gun, and I was in the park yesterday doing bubbles. But I tell you, we went for me. Bubbles are the most magical thing on the planet.
Bubbles is kind of life, and Nick's, of course. That's the theme of your weekend. Bubbles and Nick's. Did Ruby like the show? Oh, yeah, he was fine. But Mama liked it.
No, he did. He really liked it, but I was dazzled. You were loving it. They told the story. It was a little bit different than the last time we were there. They told the story. It's like a family-owned show, and each sibling, because we saw it with the guy, Danny. Yeah, was he there? This time it was a girl. No, it was a girl. I think it was Danny's sister. And guess what?
She was wearing Giovanni. I recognize, I clocked that jumpsuit. Also, it's not Danny, it's Denny, right? I think it was Danny. I think his name is Denny. Okay, well, I saw his sister. Just as magical, just as brilliant, just as... Just as amazing. They've all got the talent, the bubble bug. A thousand percent. And then I also went to the park, just like, you know. Local things.
Played Mahjong, obviously. Actually played Mahjong at night, which is my least favorite thing to do. But like my New York friends, like it's hard to get a game going during the day. Like they like to play after bedtime.
Wait, I thought you have a game every day.
I do, I do. But like, it's hard. Like getting that fourth, it's hard to accrue all four.

Chapter 5: What are the challenges of binge-watching shows?
And I actually think if I watch it, I would like it based on like my interests. The more I think about it, I actually also think you would like it. It's not that I hate off campus. I don't even know anything about it to hate it. My issue was more so with the culture that it's like, oh, you didn't watch this weekend. Then you have no way.
And then next weekend it's something else and else and else. And it's like, well, we're just supposed to all just like binge watch shows every single weekend or else you don't know what's going on. And like the last show that you watch is irrelevant now. Like it's just too much content. And like, I hate that part of your culture.
Yeah, I agree. But you're only punishing yourself by like not watching this particular show because I actually now think you would like it.
I'm not not watching it because I am boycotting it or something like I physically can't watch it. I'm watching Love Island every night.
Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about the cast of Love Island?
It's true.
I can't watch.
You would have had to have watched it before Love Island.
Yeah, I can't watch off campus right now. And if I had the time, I think I would watch it. I think I would like it. It's more so just like this constant like, oh, this is the new thing. Binge, yeah. Like can't something sustain, you know? No. Like where will Garrett Graham be in five years? I worry. I worry about that. Hopefully he'll be on the Bruins. I think they call this flash in the pan.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of celebrity culture on mental health?
Not Garrett Graham. Belmont.
Where will Belmont be? Oh. Well, this is always interesting when, like, a young show pops off like this, the potential that it has for the stars. A lot of times, you know, it has the Riverdale effect. We're like, after season two of Riverdale, nobody even watched the show. But a lot of those, Cammie Mendez, a lot of them, Cole Sprouse, are sort of big, I would say...
they have careers now, like outside of it. Sometimes one of these flash in the pan, big time, YA shows, like you never see or hear from these people ever again. So I will be curious to see what happens with all the, like the breakout stars. Of which there are probably four or five.
So you're not into Belmont.
I didn't like what I saw at the Kimba Ray concert. No.

Chapter 8: How does the conversation shift towards Taylor Swift's wedding plans?
And it's just like a little too on the nose. It's not mysterious. It's like, Oh, you guys like when I dance and you like my abs, let me pull up my shirt and shake my hips. It's like, okay, that's for girls. Stop.
I don't know all the backstory. I thought he had nice moves. People were having fun. He does. He has nice moves. People looked cool. It was cool. I thought it was cool. And I do like I don't know if I'm in the minority, though. I like what he said. Like, let's applaud embrace dancing in public. Showing off your moves. I agree with that. I agree with that.
But that's to me like not what he was doing. He was like performing. I understand. I don't feel like he was letting his hair down. I love what she said. And I agree. There's literally at the camera that's right there. It's not like he was lifting up his shirt and like I fucking the lens. Like, I like what she said. And I agree as a culture. Like, we don't like embrace this, especially with men.
Like, yeah, have fun, dance, whatever. Who cares? But this was not giving like Drew Barrymore in the rain. It wasn't giving carefree. Like, I don't care what anyone thinks. It's giving. I'm performing for what everybody thinks.
What about this? if this inspires other men, even though his intentions maybe weren't pure for you, but what if it inspires other people to get out there and dance?
Well, if that is the rip current, you know, the effect, I'll be okay with it. But this is only affecting women. That's what I'm saying. We're not changing any hearts or minds of young men. Understood. This is a women's issue.
Understood. Our next story. Ariana Grande started her tour this weekend, Eternal Sunshine. She is on tour. I sort of missed that. I didn't know that that was happening. I actually had no idea this was happening. Last I heard from her regarding this story, She doesn't like touring. She's, you know, going to Broadway. She's an actress. Okay, wait, I'm going to come back to music soon.
And then she put out a song last week. Which I actually really like that song. It's all over my TikTok. Now there's a tour with tickets purchased and everything. And it's on and it's kicked off in Oakland, California. Yeah.
Yeah. Can I ask a question? Are we commenting on women's bodies or not?
