Nicolandria Incorporated: Wednesday, May 6th, 2026
Episode of The Toast · May 6, 2026 · 1 h 11 min
Sisters Claudia and Jackie Oshry discuss Kim Kardashian's bar exam pause, the Lively–Baldoni settlement, Lizzo's lawsuit, Summer House drama, Love Island skepticism and listener advice.
Summary
Claudia and Jackie Oshry opened with chatter about their Summer House viewing, Jackie's book club podcast, and a renewed argument that Love Island USA couple Nic and Olandria's relationship was a publicity arrangement, which Claudia said was being vindicated by a Vulture article and shifting fan sentiment. They also criticized the show's audience voting.
In the news segment, the hosts discussed reports that Kim Kardashian would not retake the bar exam until 2027; Claudia argued she must see it through, while Jackie said it was acceptable to give up. They covered the zero-dollar settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, Lively's pending fee motion, and reports that she attended the Met Gala as Anna Wintour's guest. A story about Rory McIlroy telling Travis Kelce about his upcoming wedding to Taylor Swift led to a discussion of the reported end of Saudi funding for LIV Golf, remote podcasting, and Claudia's account of losing professional ambition after becoming a mother.
On Lizzo's interview with Gayle King about lawsuits from former dancers, Claudia described Lizzo as effectively canceled and argued that cancellations stick when allegations contradict a public persona, though she said she was inclined to believe Lizzo for refusing to settle. The hosts then criticized KJ Dillard for reading West Wilson's apology text on Watch What Happens Live and recapped the latest Summer House episode.
The episode closed with the Dear Toasters advice segment, in which the hosts advised a mother to keep her baby away from a paroled sex-offender relative, told a wife to let go of an old journal entry by her husband, and debated whether a boyfriend's past hookup with his stepsister was a deal breaker, digressing into the film Clueless.
