Wicked Witch? West Wilson: Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026

The Toast's June 2nd, 2026 episode dives into a whirlwind of pop culture chaos, starting with Taylor Swift’s newly announced Toy Story 5 song, 'I Knew It, I Knew You,' which sparks a viral controversy after fans notice its near-identical title to Gracie Abrams’ song. The hosts dissect the optics of Swift—known as the 'copy police'—being accused of plagiarism, even as they acknowledge the absurdity of song titles and the inevitability of creative overlap in pop music. The conversation shifts to Phoebe Gates’ AI shopping app Fia, which raised $33 million with a star-studded investor list including Khloe Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Sheryl Sandberg—yet remains invisible to the public, leading to a scathing critique of celebrity-funded flops. The episode then turns to Anna Kendrick’s appointment as director of the long-delayed Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo movie adaptation, met with near-universal disdain for her lack of directing experience and the perceived misstep of Netflix’s book adaptation track record. Meanwhile, a real-life drama unfolds as a listener reveals her mother is dating the same man she kissed at a bar a year prior—prompting the hosts to suggest a dramatic exit from the family home. The episode closes with a raw, relatable Dear Toasters segment about a newlywed’s growing resentment toward shared showers, underscoring how intimacy can erode personal space in close quarters.
