  Today's episode is brought to you by mean people who truly enjoy making people
• 0:05
  sad because sometimes it's truly unthinkable.
• 0:09
  If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story.
• 0:14
  The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy. J.D. Vance.
• 0:19
  Insert theme song here. This is the Daily Starcast. I gave you the news and made me a laugh.
• 0:24
  I'm Lindsay Vernick and today is July 1st, 2026.
• 0:29
  Oh my god, I cannot believe I just said July. Like that's so crazy.
• 0:33
  This year is seriously flying.
• 0:35
  I know I say that like literally every day, but make sure that you are staying
• 0:39
  hydrated today and are drinking lots of water and maybe putting some electrolytes in your drink and,
• 0:48
  yeah, wearing sunscreen and maybe just like staying indoors the whole day.
• 0:52
  So in real news, remember Trump's great American state fair?
• 0:57
  I talked a little bit about it on Monday.
• 1:00
  Well, it's having a very bad week. So if you're having one, maybe this will make you feel better.
• 1:07
  So the festival has now had two weather delays, and one of them forced the headliner
• 1:12
  Vanilla Ice to cancel his whole performance because he couldn't fit it into his schedule.
• 1:18
  And it's kind of a bad sign if vanilla ice is not even coming anymore because
• 1:23
  he can't put it into his schedule.
• 1:26
  People are saying that attendance is very underwhelming.
• 1:30
  The food has been very expensive and there's been some questionable attractions.
• 1:36
  And also, there was a power outage that caused all of the ice cream in the food hall to melt.
• 1:42
  And then to top all this off, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt posted a family
• 1:47
  photo from the fair, and the whole background was the fair, and it was very,
• 1:52
  very empty, and everyone online obviously noticed very quickly.
• 1:57
  I'm not sure if this fair could get any worse, but let's see.
• 2:03
  So how much would you pay to get a ticket for Wimbledon?
• 2:06
  50 bucks? 100? Maybe a few hundred? while this week two center court tickets
• 2:13
  sold for 586,000 pounds that's about 800,000 u.s dollars,
• 2:21
  this is for two seats now technically they aren't normal tickets they're called
• 2:26
  debentures which are basically vip seat licenses that come with five years of
• 2:32
  access to center court and can legally be were sold.
• 2:36
  Still, for that price, you could, like, literally buy a house in Manhattan.
• 2:42
  Imagine spending almost a million dollars for you and someone else to go and politely clap.
• 2:49
  So it turns out that being king doesn't automatically mean that you live in Buckingham Palace.
• 2:56
  King Charles and Queen Camilla have no plans to move into Buckingham Palace,
• 3:01
  even after the massive renovation is finished.
• 3:05
  Instead, they're going to be living at this place called Clarence House,
• 3:07
  where they've lived for years.
• 3:10
  Imagine spending billions renovating your house and then saying,
• 3:14
  you know what, I actually like my old place.
• 3:16
  Buckingham House is getting new electrical wiring, plumbing,
• 3:20
  elevators, and enough upgrades.
• 3:22
  It's basically the HDTV version of our royal makeover.
• 3:26
  I mean, it is a little bit relatable. We've all looked at Zillow and thought,
• 3:31
  wow, that place is gorgeous, but I don't feel like packing.
• 3:35
  But the difference is, when I don't move, it's because it's very expensive.
• 3:40
  But when the king doesn't move, it's because Buckingham Palace is just apparently too much house.
• 3:46
  They're not really downsizing by moving in. They're literally just admitting
• 3:50
  that nobody needs 775 rooms.
• 3:55
  And Lindsay Life. So I was debating on telling two different stories that happened
• 4:01
  to me yesterday, and I decided to tell them both because this really paints
• 4:07
  the picture of what it is to be me.
• 4:11
  So yesterday, as I said, I was working on this HGTV show. I'm one of the producers
• 4:16
  for it, and it's with a bunch of celebrities, and I got to make a little cameo
• 4:21
  in the show. I'll let you know when the show airs and hopefully my scene makes it.
• 4:26
  But I was delivering pizza to the cast in character and I got to do some improv
• 4:33
  with some actors who actually do improv.
• 4:36
  And it was really cool because I have been in improv now for the past six months or so.
• 4:43
  So it was really cool to actually like do it like on camera with actual actors who do improv.
• 4:50
  And then later in the day, I was on the phone with unemployment,
• 4:55
  historically crying, and people were probably looking at me like I was delusional
• 5:00
  in the middle of a random New Jersey target.
• 5:03
  Yeah, so the highs are high, but the lows are low. And that's Lindsay life.
• 5:08
  Things I'm thinking about.
• 5:10
  How I wish when somebody said something, like invited me to something that I
• 5:15
  really didn't want to do, or just like anything in general, instead of saying I can't go and lying.
• 5:22
  I literally wish I could just say I wish I could go but I just don't want to,
• 5:28
  Cooking tip of the day If you didn't make it then you should only compliment it,
• 5:32
  Unless you paid for it That's a different story Feedback, comments,
