Good morning, millennials, and welcome back

to the toast and happy Friday that really feels like a Friday because the theme of today is leisure. We had a leisurely morning. We took ourselves out to breakfast. We're recording at 1:20. We never do this.

Clut, Turdy's not even being honest, and we're not being honest by saying good morning, millennials.

It's so true.

It is 1:30. We never record this late. This episode is not coming out in the morning, but we've actually been very busy this morning. Yeah. We didn't actually just wake up and just say screw sisterhood, screw swirling hood.

Speak for yourself. I did. I woke up this morning, and I said screw sisterhood.

Literally never done that. We had work stuff this morning, which pushed us back to record late, which was a choice.

Choice.

But, like, to act like we actually have had a leash in the morning when we're seriously broke down. So true. We're so broke down. We couldn't do video even though we maybe should have because we look actually really cute. We're matching.

We're in pajamas, but today's episode is audio only. So if you're searching YouTube, I apologize. But not only do we look disgusting in a very cute sort of way, but we also have Jizzno on Sunday. And, like, I kind of need to preserve my on camera flare and, like, my my glamorous celebrity, Gina Seikoi, for the Swirly's coming to see us Sunday at the Hard Rock Live Seminole, Fort Lauderdale. It has, like, a thousand names.

Yeah. No. Hard Rock Live Seminole Hollywood Casino.

Oh, no. Not Orlando.

Fort Lauderdale. Like, I don't even know it's Hollywood. Hollywood Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Comma, what county? USA.

Yeah. Broward or Miami Dade. That's the thing. We don't even know where we're going on Sunday, but we're so excited. So this episode is giving real Friday energy because there's no video, and we're just kind of lax, you know?

We're in our jammies.

We are. We're in matching robes and Jam us. Yeah. We would be cute for video. But let's just keep talking about how cute we are and how much you guys are missing out.

I love We're already starting with, like, so many excuses, like, so much justification.

It's Friday. I feel like everybody just starts with, like, lies and excuses.

Lies, lies, lies.

Look into my

eyes eyes eyes.

I think we harmonized. I think we might have. I think we might have.

So it's very much a Friday over here.

Oh, we are in person together if you guys Yeah. Flaminger. Maybe aren't noticing. Jackson and I are both in Florida because obviously, I headed down last night for our show on Sunday. Thought I'd spend a couple of days with my family.

Good decision, honestly, on all parts. And Ben, of course I think I told everyone this yesterday. Ben, of course, was flying down. This is

so crazy.

Ben was flying down later than us. He flew down this morning. And at, like, 8 o'clock, I texted him. I knew his flight was early in the morning. I wasn't sure when.

I'm like, hey. Are you up? Are you at the airport? He missed his flight. And it's funny that he didn't text me because he knew what I was gonna say when we traveled together.

This man, like, torments me. He mocks me with, like, how prepared I am. The fact that I insist I don't pre board, obviously, but the second my boarding group is eligible, like, I'm the 1st bitch on that line. Like, I take it really seriously for a multitude of reasons. 1, I'm, like, very anal.

Yes. 2, I wanna make sure I have overhead bin space because I never check a bag, but I'm a very anal flyer. He's so lax. He wouldn't mind being the last person on the flight. Like, gate checking, okay.

To me, gate checking is, like, Armageddon's the worst thing that could ever happen to me. For Ben, it's, like, free checked bag. Like, he's so crazy. So I missed his flight. He didn't wanna tell me because he makes fun of me all the time.

Meanwhile, have I ever missed a flight in my entire fucking life? Yeah. No. No. So I don't know where he is.

I think he's on his way. Ben is supposed to be spending the weekend with us here too. But it did feel good. Like, obviously, I wasn't happy that my husband missed his flight, but it felt really good to I know I'm right, but, like, for it to be so obvious to him, like, think of all the times you've literally every time we travel, we fight because he's, like, who just sit in the lounge a little bit longer?

No. No. It feels good to have a lesson learned the hard way.

Yeah. And I don't have to be there for it. You know? It's by the way,

it's so true. Someone who'll never first get stagecoach of 2019 when our whole family went to stagecoach together. I don't know why I can't say stagecoach.

The thing about stagecoach, there is 1 flight a day from New York to Palm Springs. It's so hard to get to.

And we were all going together in the car. We're all loaded up in the SUV, and we're meeting at Claudia and Ben's apartment because they live closest, like, to the airport, whatever. And we're all in the car. Bags are packed, and Ben's not out of the apartment yet, and he's in the shower.

Upstairs. And not only was it, like, such a stressful time, but we also had a treacherous journey to the airport. We, like, took side streets. It was so much traffic. So

much traffic.

So Ben's in the front seat. Like, knowing everybody in the back of the car wants to kill him.

All checking luggage, and we got there, and they couldn't they couldn't guarantee that our luggage would get on the flight. It might have to get on the next 1. So the entire time on the plane, we don't know if our luggage with all of our Lukes

Yep.

Has made it onto the plane. And it's, like, if it hasn't, and we have to go back to the Palm Beach airport tomorrow to get our luggage, but we have 1 day without anything. Mhmm. Very stressful. Thankfully, our luggage did make it.

But I just wanna say so I can attest to the fact that Ben is not a timely traveler.

So then he called me, like, 20 minutes later. He's, like, in the airport, you know, floundering, doing wasting time. And, like, his day and I I would've felt bad for him except, like you said, it was a lesson that really needed to be learned. But the day just, like, kept coming for him. He's, like, I went to Starbucks.

I bought myself, like, 1 of those spinach feta egg white wrap things. I put it in a bag, and I'm walking to the airport, and the bag has a huge hole at the bottom of it. And, like, my breakfast spills out onto the floor. And, like, of course, I have sympathy. You know, when you have those days, like, nothing go right, and then your breakfast hits the floor.

Seriously, I was so glad. Like, it It was important. Was a paid actor. It was important that he experienced this completely on his own. Like, he couldn't blame anyone.

Like, he set his own alarm because I wake up. We're going to the airport. Okay. Let's air flights at 8. I'm like, alright.

Let's wake up at 5:30. We'll leave here at 6. He thinks that's so crazy. I would love to know what time he woke up. Right.

You know? Right. Because I feel so validated, and my measures are definitely extreme, but better safe than sorry, of course.

Better safe than sorry.

So, yes, did was there 30 minutes that we had nothing to do in the airport? We could have slept, technically. Did we miss our flight? No. Did he?

Yes. He did. So I just feel good. And it's a it's a win for naggy bitch wives everywhere, honestly. It really is.

I think there are relationships where the not a lot, but sometimes, like, the man is the more anal 1 about flying. But usually, it's, like, the women timely. Check on the the getting to the gate, making sure your gate exists before you even get a snack at the airport. So this was a win for us, ladies.

Yeah. You have to make sure your gate exists. I guess I am, like, the more anal 1 in our relationship because Zac is such a late person. Like Yeah. He's slow.

Perpetually late, slow. Seriously, it pains me. But I don't identify as, like, being a like, I'm not crazy about it, but

I'm I'm pretty nuts.

I feel like I'm, like, so crazy that actually my normal what I think is normal is actually what other people would consider crazy. Now

I've gotten to a point in my life when I get home from work, my husband says, like, what did you tell everyone about me today?

Okay.

And so I think he could probably guess that I would have told this story, but I know the toasters are gonna DM him being like, so glad you missed your flight. He's gonna be like, what did you say? And he wanted me to tell everyone, and I forgot to, so this is an important time, that the last couple of days, he has brushed his teeth at night because I, like, railed on him for not brushing his teeth at night. He's like, people are gonna think I'm disgusting. I'm like, good.

Then no 1 will wanna come near you. But he did want me to let everyone know, like, he's working on it and he's really he and it was important for him to say this and I agree. He's a very clean hygienically, like, his body, not like, you know, his laundry. But, like, he showers at least twice a day. Like, he's very he's not a dirty person.

So he doesn't smell. He wants everyone to know that, and he has been brushing his teeth twice a day.

That's so great. And this is what happens when you bring back shame.

Accountability. People start acting right.

Oh, I don't want people to think I don't brush my teeth. So let me brush my teeth so

I can let them know. Right. Right. So, feel free to send Ben hate mail. No.

I'm kidding. But then

Please don't because it like, then we can't have the fun that we have. That's so true. Knowing that it might reach him, that's no fun.

Yeah. Don't tell him because then, like, things like this might not happen anymore.

Yeah. Like, it's it's just never the same. Like, when you got a message, they were talking about your spinach on the floor, and they're glad you missed your flight. Like, it just doesn't hit the same

It doesn't.

As having the conversation.

And, like, Ben took a huge financial hit too to get on another flight because the next flight was at 7 PM, and he was, like, no. So we had to buy another ticket. So, like, him just being hit, like, you know, breakfast, finances, like, it's a really, really well rounded punishment, and I'm I'm glad about it.

And I was supposed to

do Goodguys today. Yes. Jackie was recording Goodguys. They've been talking about it. They're so excited, and now it had to be postponed a couple of days.

Yeah. So you could blame that on Ben too if we're making a list.

If you were really excited to hear me on Good Guys.

Which I was.

I wonder what I love going on other people's podcast because then, like, the burden is on them

You have to do no work.

To, like, you know, think about what they wanna talk to me about. Mhmm. Like, what do they wanna talk to me about?

I I feel like doing Josh always end up just, like, going into parent Zach Zach. Josh is, like, a really hands on dad. Yeah. So I feel like about,

like, the culture for kids, like, what the kids are watching, playing, doing, for sure.

Yeah. And then Ben now but can participate a little bit. So it'll be interesting to see how the pregnancy announcement will impact the dynamic of the Good Guys plus Jax.

Oh, for sure. Everybody's on the edge of their seat.

Everybody's on the edge of their seats.

Speaking of podcast, the redheads dropped yesterday. Like, all the drama, will it drop

on the first day Thursday of the month?

Will it not? I actually surprised myself, and I got it up on the 1st Thursday. And such a great episode. Let me tell you, the book, like, you don't have to read it if you don't think you would like it, but you should listen to the episode because it was so fucking funny. And we ranked our top 3 books of the year, the official Redheads ranking editor's choice.

Reader's choice. Your top 3 books of the

year that were read on the Redheads are all books. So because this year very few of us read books outside of the Redheads, we only did Redheads books. Your bracket again? Tip that's that's Redheads Madness. But typically did you do

that in March? We

supposed to.

Oh, okay. Okay.

But, typically, we do top 3 Redheads books of the year and top 3 General. General. But we didn't read enough general this year to be able to do 2 separate lists, so it was just Redheads.

Got it. I actually made a big dent in my Redheads book, God of the Woods. I've been, like, slow reading it, but I had a flight yesterday. So I I I blew through, I would say, like, 10 or 15%. Oh.

You know, I was being slow. And it's a long book, and, like, I kept taking breaks, and I'm enjoying it. Okay. Good. So it's good.

Yeah. Should we dive in? Like, the episode is delayed enough. Like, let's just keep dilly dallying. Oh, sure.

Dive into, what's gonna be Yesterday's episode the yesterday's stories were stronger than expected. That's how you describe the stories. Describe these for me. R n g, really not good. D n p m.

D n p m? Yeah. D's nuts.

If you can guess this if you can guess this, like, we actually can hang up our hats and, like, retire.

Okay. But if I guess it, let's end the episode right here. Like

Okay. That's so no. If you guess it, read all the ads and then 1 the episode.

Okay. Hold on. I need to seriously just write down d n. PM. I'm never gonna I have not even a clue 1 of these letters.

Put yourself in my shoes. Yeah.

What was I saying about the stories before we recorded? How do I speak? And that's all I'm gonna leave it at.

I have no idea.

Ugh. I was really DM,

it looks like some like, when a company goes public and they have, like, a Like, their ticker? Yeah. Yeah. DM PM. This do not pass muster.

Oh, my god. I got it. Oh, my god. We have to end the episode. Yeah.

It will be our shortest up. It'll be 11 minutes.

Maybe that is in the ads, like, 15 minutes.

Oh, my god. That is so funny. D n guys, sound up in the comments. Did you guess that when Jackie said it? Because, like, it is top of mind for everyone.

These stories do not pass muster.

Okay. Well, with a glowing review like that, here are the best 5 stories that do not pass muster. They're brought to you by BILT Rewards. PSA for anybody who pays rent. If you hadn't heard haven't heard of BILT, you will thank me after today's episode.

Earning points on rent is now a reality.

Points can also be redeemed towards a future rent payment, unique experiences that only BILT members can access. So, if you're not earning points on rent, my question is why not? Actually, I was out to dinner with all my girlfriends.

Everyone that I know in New York rents. It's like a real renters type of city. And a lot of them have just recently gotten into the built card and they're so and a lot of them are like newly married, so they opened up like a joint credit card. Like, they were really excited. And there's so many different ways to redeem your points.

If you have paid rent your whole life, you know how it literally feels like lighting money on fire. So now, to be able to get something and return points that you can literally take trips with, I mean, the points are valued really well on The Points Guy. It feels really good.

Right? That's so Kelly in their commercials. I have to tell you something. We're gonna get to a place, like

In your pregnancy where you can't do the ad breaks. Do you hear me? Yeah. You should have heard me try and recap a book, 9 months pregnant on the redheads, where I had to do the whole synopsis of the book. Like, it was seriously painful to listen to.

This is the first time I've ever, like, since finding out I'm pregnant, like, really felt inadequate in like, I'm dying over here.

We could definitely shake things up. Like, maybe we do, like, you do 1, I do the next 1, so you have a break. Like, we'll figure things out. We're very, like, we're good like that pregnancy friendly podcast and it's accessible.

It just occurred to me. Did you notice while I was, like that's been happening to me a lot, like, the the getting out of breath doing nothing.

No. I spent the time, like, trying to make muster out of the stories, and I think that I have. You

know, pregnancy is interesting. And I've I've been, like, overweight most of my life. So it not a lot of, like, the weight gaining stuff or, like, the lack of movement has shocked me. This is a state of life I'm, you know, comfortable in. The thing that has shocked me most is I've actually never until recently gotten out of breath while eating.

That's really crazy.

Have you seen those, like, diagrams of how a pregnant woman's body changes and how all of your organs compress? Smashed.

That's I feel it. Yeah. I am smashed. Just wait, Smushia. I'm sure.

Just wait, Smushia.

Oh my god. Smushadia. Are

you ready for our first story?

I don't know. You sold it, like, so well.

No. I'm telling you, I got the stories in a place that they are musterful. Let's hear it. Claudia, that's musterful. A bit of friendship news.

Martha Stewart is fangirling over beautiful Rihanna and her very handsome ASAP Rocky at the shoe Oscars.

Yeah. It's a big week for footwear.

So the footwear news achievement awards, the FNNA FNAA, sometimes known

as Why was Martha there?

Sometimes known as the shoe Oscars took place this

week. Only sometimes.

I mean, is there any second? Right. What is what is Golden Globe. Right.

What's the shoe PCAs? You know?

Right. These awards took place. The event celebrates outstanding achievement in the footwear industry.

I mean, of course it does.

But literally, what else would they be celebrating? Rihanna and Martha Stewart read into each other, and Martha posted to her Instagram. RiRi, bad gal RiRi is so beautiful and statuesque, she wrote in a post, and she has a very handsome and funny boyfriend ASAP Rocky, she added, noting that she was 1 of the honorees at the event held

at Cipriani. I just don't understand, 1, why was Martha at this particular affair? I know she's fabulous. So was she just there because she's fabulous, or or has she made an impact

in the fit footwear community this year? She was presented with an icon award.

What contributions to the footwear community has she made?

I don't know. Maybe Omnimedia did something.

Because I watched your documentary. I didn't see a thing about a shoe.

I didn't know. Who throws a shoe? Right. Oh, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart announced a multiyear partnership with Skechers in 2023.

Oh, actually, yes. I know those commercials, and I actually think that was a great money investment. Excuse me. I can't fucking talk.

Great money.

It was a great money for Skechers because they definitely, like, border on irrelevant because they really are just, like, for old ladies. So they got the coolest old lady and her cool best friend. That was kinda genius. That should go perhaps in our Toasty Lions category. That was a very

We didn't even, like, really remember it.

No. Because it wasn't, like, a big stupid announcement. I just started seeing them on the commercials. And you know what? I feel favored towards Skechers, like, when I when I think about it.

Yeah. And that's what good marketing should do.

Well, I like my Skechers sneakers, but I love

Love my Prada backpack. She was so right for that. Like, my SKECHERS sneakers, like, keep me alive.

And I like them. Yeah. Sure.

But my Prada backpack is everything to me. Right. You actually have a Prada backpack that you've had since, like, 2,009, and it's probably 1 of the best things that you own. And you

use it to this day. Find it. Excuse me. I mean, it's here somewhere. I know where

it is. Margo has it. She totally sold it.

You think Satcho Cratchall?

You're very generous with it. Everyone was You're in

in your Thanksgiving TikTok with my Dior bag, which, by the way, I let her borrow for a trip. Like, she's going somewhere fabulous. You need a fabulous Yeah. The perfect like, I want you to have the right thing. And I also said, like, you know what?

Keep it. Like, I'm, like, I'm not going out. I don't need a little black bag. Whatever. But, like, you could always give it back or at least give me credit in the TikTok where she gave credit to the girl whose dress she was wearing.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

She shot out Kate Davis, but couldn't shout out big sis.

That's so maybe she's, like, had it for so long, she just thinks of it as her. It's like, it doesn't even occur to her that it's technically a borrowed bag.

And so many times, I'm going out, and I need it. Like, I feel attached.

I think she's gonna visit you soon. Ask her to bring it.

I know. I I just feel bad.

That's insane that you feel bad. No.

I don't feel bad. Sorry. That's, like, an overstatement. Just, like, sucks for her.

Romeo just waltzed in the studio, like, from somewhere else. Where has

he been? Romeo been? And what has he What has he done?

What is waiting for us on the other side of that door?

I don't know. But I just wanna say, her getting the icon awards at the shoe Oscars when she has a partnership with Skechers since last year, like, it's not that iconic, but okay. You know,

I guess nobody else in the space was doing anything of muster because No.

But you don't wanna give it to, like, Jimmy Choo. Yeah. It's double Michael Kors.

Just slap in the face to people who actually manufacture shoes. Vince Camuto. Or, like yeah. Of course, like, somebody who, like, designs shoes, but I feel like I don't know. Some some people, like, you know what was, like, a shoe collab Nike does with, like, athletes that, like, break records?

Like, the Caitlin Clark, her shoe broke

records? Yes.

Like, no shade to Martha. I would literally lay my life out on the line for that.

All the awards. Sure. I just wanna say, like, in the shoe icon category.

If I was a person who took, like, the shoe awards really seriously, I would be annoyed about this.

Yeah. Thank you. I'm not. Snoop presented her the award virtually. Like, it's seriously getting low budget.

Virtually. I'm shocked that Rihanna was there. I think that she was there because ASAP Rocky was honored. Yeah. Like, it's his thing.

He was awarded for collaboration of the year in recognition of his partnership with Puma. So there's, like, been really big things going on in the shoe world, and they feel like if you don't listen to today's episode of the toast, you wouldn't know.

And didn't Rihanna have a big thing with Puma too?

She's the creative director, so she hired her man's. We'd love

to see women in business, like, doing charity.

It's seriously like nepotism. But Yeah. What what I feel like

I feel like when we talk about couples, like, we're always talking about, like, different power dynamics, like, within Hollywood. I have, like, you know, really powerful women, like, need, like, men in different industries because they're so we don't talk enough about how ASAP Rocky and Rihanna really are in the same industry, and she is so far out of his league business wise. She is she's a billionaire. I don't I honestly don't even know how he makes living. Like, I know he's done music before.

I don't think he's consistently releasing music. I don't think he consistently does anything. I think he, like, loves being a dad and loves being Rihanna's man.

And he's, like, a professional partner.

Yeah. And he doesn't get enough credit for being, like, exactly what we're always saying, like, powerful women need. We're always saying powerful women need a firefighter because so if they don't compete, like Yeah. Meanwhile, ASAP Rocky here is holding it down.

No. It can be done. Yes. But I do feel like when we talk about them, we do always mention that. Like Okay.

Good. We should

talk about them a lot. Maybe that's it.

Yeah. Because we're always talking about her.

We always talk about her. Therein lies the issue. Well, not an issue. Also, I follow Martha Stewart on Instagram, so I did see this photo. I was aware that she was at the Footwear Association of America's, the FAAs, whatever.

Mhmm. And it reminded me because she tagged Rihanna that, like, Rihanna has never and most likely will never change her Instagram username. Like, she was this up and coming singer, and I'm sure when she made her Instagram, like, she thought it was funny. She wasn't up and coming. She wasn't Rihanna.

Like, she wasn't an icon.

No. It was crazy when she did it then because Instagram came out, what, like, 2,009. Like, she was Rihanna, and she made her name BadGal Riri, and then never changed it. Yeah. And I love that.

And that just always reminds me of your friend Alicia. BadGal.

When I was in high school, my friend Alicia, and I was, like, so jealous. It was such a

good I still call her bad gal.

Yeah. By the way, a lot of people do. Her name Alicia, and so she did bad gal, Alicia, and it was a slay. Like, it was so good.

It was such a slay.

It was such a slay, and it she eventually changed it. I think maybe she thought it, like, wasn't, like, mature or appropriate, like, cheater reasons, you know, as we all do. And the impact that it left, it never went away.

No. Like, when I see her bad gal.

Yeah. Yeah. You actually you do see it. I always call her bad gal. It's and what a nickname because, by the way, nobody's ever in their life been less bad than my friend, Alicia.

Like, she's the least bad ever.

She's bad to the bone.

Bad to the bone. I love that song.

Are you ready for our next story?

Hopefully, it's some more footwear news.

No. It is more wicked news because Ari is tearing up while addressing the, quote, dangerous comments about her weight. Yeah. So in a new interview, Wicked, you know, the usual the the press tour works her and Cynthia sitting down. She, was asked by a French reporter how she copes with society's beauty standards and the overwhelming pressure women feel to always look perfect.

The pop star was immediately overcome with emotion. Shocker. She said, my goodness. I'm not gonna she let out trying not to cry. Good question.

I've seen a lot of clips of them crying on this press tour, and at this point, like, whatever. I'll allow it. I just wish they would stop

Stop talking.

No. No. Stop trying to not cry. Like, just the tears are coming. Let them flow.

Stop acting like you're shocked that this is happening. Just, like, let it I was watching her on Zach's like, every clip I watch, they're, like, oh my god. Oh, go and they're here. Just let them out. Like, know you're and especially this is probably 1 of the more sensitive conversations they're gonna have.

Like, just let the tears fall.

Bruno farted in the picture. Bruno farted. I didn't even spell it. Claudia, I Oh, never mind. And he seriously didn't even move a muscle.

He's still asleep. Like, that is the level I'm I'm bothered I aim to be, especially in my pregnancy, like, where all these things are happening to my body.

Oh, my god. And, also, just reminds me of her song. Right now, I'm in a state of mind. I wanna be in it all the time.

Ain't got no tears left to cry. Incorrect.

Beginning to It's

such a good song. Have you ever heard the Camilla Cabello demo of that? I feel like we talk about this all the time.

No. I haven't. Are you sure it's that song?

Yes. That was Or you

guys might hear music?

Is that

what you're saying?

That was, like, a demo that went around the music industry that, like, a lot of the pop swirlies either sampled or thought about putting on like, a lot a lot of them recorded. I believe BB Rex also has a version out there. And Ari was the 1 I don't know if there was, like, a battle over it or nobody wanted it, and Ari took it. I don't know how it worked. But there are versions of that song recorded by other artists, which is just interesting.

That is interesting. So she said when asked about the the pressure in the standards, she said, my goodness, I'm not gonna. Good question. Then she was confronted by Cynthia who joined her for the sit down. She said, I've been kind of doing this in front of the public and kind of been a specimen in a petri dish really since I was 16 or 17, so I've heard it all.

I've heard every version of it of what's wrong with me, and then you fix it, and then it's wrong for different reasons. But that's everything from even just the simplest thing, your appearance. You know? Mhmm. She explained that it's hard to protect yourself from that noise, and you're young, and you're hearing all kinds of things.

So I think that it's something that is uncomfortable no matter what scale you're experiencing on. Even if you go to Thanksgiving and someone's granny says, oh my god, you look skinnier. What happened? Or you look heavier. What happened?

She emphasized that being on the receiving end of those comments regardless of who you are is horrible. She said, I think in today's society, there's a comfortability that we shouldn't have it all commenting on others' looks, appearances, what they think is going on behind the scenes or health or how they present themselves.

Right. Because the the overwhelming consensus with Arias, no 1 says she looks bad. Like, they're just like, it is coming from a place of concern because she is so thin. Although, I think people think that it's like a new thinness. And if you look back, she really has been at this weight for, like, last, like, 3, 4 years.

It is a low weight. It's small. And I don't know where I land on this or where we as a society landed on this. Like you probably should never be talking about anyone's body because you would certainly never say like, Wow, that person is huge. Like you wouldn't say the opposite.

So 1 shouldn't be okay and the other shouldn't. But if you are coming from a like a triple sometimes somebody losing a drastic amount of weight is like a health issue or they're going through like people in abusive relationships, like drop weight. Like, it can be an indicator. It can also be nothing.

Right. Sometimes someone's always been small and gained weight at a time, and then they're back to their original weight. And you're like, wait. Why are

you so thin? And they're like, oh, I've actually always been like this. There's always a 1,000,000 things

going on. I've seen a lot of stuff about her and Cynthia Dropping a lot of weight. Yeah. And I keep seeing these comparison photos. They're, like, pictures of them before Wicked and pictures of them after, and I use these photos from, like, the Olympic ceremony opening that they went to.

And, like, the lighting is hard. It's seriously poop level.

Yeah.

And, like, stop using that 1 fucking picture on that ugly bad day with the overcast lighting.

Yeah. It's

true. They look bad and ghostly. That's not a they look beautiful And they're like,

what happened on that set?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because they chose a picture in, like, perfect lighting before.

They both look malnourished. Like And

then in the second, they look like they've had their souls sucked out of their bodies.

They look like Voldemort. Like Like, it's just

a bad picture. We it's a poop moment. Yeah.

Chalk it up to a poop moment. They look beautiful on the press tour. They look beautiful in the movie. They look fine. They look healthy.

They're grown women. They obviously like the way that they look. Leave them alone.

Yeah. And then you also have to think about, like, what sort of issues they both have just being a a woman in the industry. Like, people always being talked about your body. So, like, why don't we just leave everyone alone. Okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

And it's a really good place to start. And I

really do feel like as a society, we've stopped doing that. Like, people don't talk, like, back in the day the way they used to talk about.

The cover of every magazine.

Like, Jessica Simpson and those jeans. Like, such crazy things.

And I feel like we've mostly moved past that, so

it does feel like a bit of a regression here. Yeah. And it must be really annoying to see.

Yeah. But do you remember like a time when all the the it girlies, like Lindsay, Paris, Nicole were like emaciated Yeah. And like skeletal. Yeah. And it would be on the cover of every magazine, like, with their bones out.

That was so crazy. Yeah. Like, that's what we used to grow up in the supermarket. Like, that's what we would say. Yeah.

That was just, like that was also the look. That was the look. Like, it was in fashion.

And, like, the looks change. But, like, regardless, just everyone's on their own journey. Leave them alone. She's obviously, like, very happy and

It's true. And she looks like a person who's like And she likes how she looks. Must be nice.

You know, they say, like, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

I was just having this conversation with someone, and I've thought about that phrase a lot because I used to, like, be very Claring on it? I used to be very anti that phrase, but that was because I had never been skinny. Then I became skinny, and I actually do believe, like, being in control of your body, like, is just as good as a donut. Like, maybe not 1 is better than the other, but they both have extraordinary merit. You couldn't say which one's better?

The doughnut is fleeting.

Yeah. I guess I would say, like, feeling healthy, feeling good, being in control of your weight, it feels better literally than and then anything could possibly taste. I I can attribute that. And there are some I I've eaten some delicious things. Yeah.

But also, like, if you're in control of your body, like, you should you are able to eat those things. Like, you can have both. You can actually have things that taste as good as skinny feels and be skinny.

Yes. To a degree.

To a degree, of course. You can have it for every meal, but, like, that's part of, like, a healthy balance. Like, you can have

it on. A little treat.

Yeah. A sweet treat. I just had, like, 5 sweet treats. I went through Jackie's Halloween candy. Thank you.

It was so good. I fucking Worth it.

We needed a sugar boost.

We needed a boost before before this episode. We were kinda, like, crashing that, you know, that 1 o'clock crash.

Are you ready for our next story? What number?

3. Yes.

Kind of surprising news.

Tell me.

Amber Heard is expecting baby number 2. She's delighted both for herself and her daughter, Oona Paige, who is 3a half. Now, I have a lot of thoughts, but let me just share the dates.

Yeah. Because Elon totally donated his seed. Of course, to have

a sister or brother for Oona, his other child.

And for x? Yeah. But, like Step sibling for x.

Our working theory. And I think a lot of people's theory, and nobody's dispelling it. Nobody's talking about it because it's, like, you know, not our business, and I can recognize that, but I'm curious. Yep. Amber Heard has a 3 and a half year old daughter.

Nobody knows who the father is.

After her relationship with Johnny Depp. So that is also when

she dated Elon. Nobody knows who the father is. There is space for it to have been

You know how much he loves procreating. It's like 1 of his favorite hobbies. There also were a lot of rumors, and it did kinda make sense that he was helping her financially a lot during her trial with Johnny Depp because, you know, she that was like lawyers like that for a case, that's 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 of dollars. And she actually said on trial she has very little work these days because of the whole Johnny Depp thing. So I believe that these 2 are definitely incommunicado.

I feel like they are, like, friendly exes, and I could totally her seeing her having either gotten pregnant or literally asking him for help. And then she wanted another 1. So where'd he go? Of course, to Una's dad. And she's, like, living abroad now.

Spain.

I don't know if she's really working. Like, I do feel like Elon is footing the bill for

A 1000%.

Amber and his child, and then she wants another kid. And, like, he loves donating sperm and procreating. Like, I would need someone to seriously tell me the truth in order for me to stop believing this because, like, this makes sense to me. But they there are,

like, a couple mysteries in Hollywood when it comes to paternity. January Jones, every there's rumors that it's Bobby Flay for Her dad's? It's her baby daddy, like, their of course, Mindy Kaling. People think it's BJ Novak.

We have no confirmation. All those are really rumors. Don't even conflate me and BJ with this, like,

seriously certifiably

true rumor. Because there's not

a better alternative. Before we continue, this is just my quarterly check-in to see if Amber Heard still follows me on social media. She follows 54 people, and I am 1 of them. All throughout the trial, I don't know why.

She's gonna, like, love being pregnant with you.

Oh, my god. My pregnant sister. Have we ever t t t t? Oh, my god. We have You should like it t t.

I'm her

and be like, Miles O'Toole. I'm so happy for you.

Oh, my god. I responded to 1 of her stories in 2018. And then in 2019, she responded to 1 of my stories. Killing the game, babe. I don't even know what I was referring to.

You were killing the game.

She said that to me. And I

were killing the game.

I could see her talking like that.

I know that you were.

I was like, I'm so obnoxious. I'm like, oh my god, stop. I look so ugly. Like, I could I be like a lot more down on myself? Okay.

We haven't spoken since 2019, but I I always check to see if she still follows me.

And she does, and that's major. It is. A spokesperson for heard for her says, it's still quite early in the pregnancy, so you'll appreciate that we do not wanna go into too much detail at this stage. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted for both herself and Paige. Lena, That's nice.

Yeah. I feel like she's so done.

She is so done. Like, with everyone and everything, even the country. Like, she's just living her best life. Like, I'm surprised we even knew this. That's how off the grid I feel she is.

Yeah.

I just I like my version of events. Definitely. Regardless, it seems like this is, like, a happy next chapter for her.

So It's good. It's good. Go forth and prosper. And multiply.

And multiply. Very beautiful. Fruitful and multiply.

Before you dive into the next story, let me just let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Prolon. Did you know that there's a nutrition plan that doesn't just help you lose weight, but actually has been shown to lower your biological age score? It's called Prolon by El Nutra and here's the craziest part. It's a fast, but it does include food. So full disclosure, I'm sure like many of you, very, you know, trepidatious of a diet that includes fasting because the thought of not eating for an extended period of time really sounds horrible.

But Prolon by Alnutra is a fast with food and it'll make you rethink everything. So introducing Prolon, a revolutionary plant based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe that they're fasting. Researched and developed for decades at the University of Southern California Longevity Institute and backed by leading US medical centers, Prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, supports cardiovascular health, and it reduces abdominal fat. But keep in mind that Prolon is not a diet. It is science, and it's science based on Nobel Prize winning discoveries in medicine.

It also starts with Prolon's 5 day program, which includes snacks, soups, beverages. They're all designed to keep your body in a fasting state. So it's a fast. Right? But you're literally eating and drinking stuff.

And that's, I think, kind of magical how they've tricked your body into thinking that it's fasting, so you're getting all the benefits. But you're able to have a snack. So it's really unlike anything you'll ever experience. And right now, they're offering Toast listeners 15% off their 5 day nutrition program. Only when you go to prolonlife.com/toast.

And I feel so much better that you do 1 of the ads. I'm out of breath.

Our next story, I'm just gonna preface this by saying I don't understand it. Okay? So I'm gonna share what I'm reading Okay. But I'm letting you know that I can't process the words that I'm reading.

Maybe I can.

Yeah. Maybe you can. I do speak multiple languages. Hawk to a creator, Holly Wells familiar. Is being criticized for her meme coin launch after the price crashes.

So Hailey Welch, the 22 year old woman who achieved Internet fame this summer for her viral Hawk Tua TikTok video, you guys we all know her. She's affectionately called Hawk Tua. Mhmm. She launched her own meme coin in her latest career move only for its value to plummet almost immediately. So I also can't tell what part of these articles are just, like, anti Hawk Tua slant, and I feel like there's a lot of that, so I need you to help me sift through.

No. But, like, what you just said is all facts. They they called it bizarre. I took that out.

I think it's bizarre. Like, that's the first

of all latest bizarre career move as if she has a lot of bizarre Well, that's wrong.

She actually doesn't. She spends, like, literally every dollar she makes on animal rescuing. She's actually a really the more I know about her, the more I actually really like her.

The reason why I'm really reticent to, like, go all in, like, talk to a fucked up is because, like, I actually, like, trust talk to a, and I just I feel like she's being misrepresented. Okay.

I don't know if I trust talk to a well, but let me say there I think 2 things can be true here. 1, it's a it's a bizarre move, like and I I didn't I don't really understand, and maybe this is my lack of, like, a finance degree, how you can, like, create a coin. But I know that's how crypto works, so you do doge. Like

How the fuck can you create a coin?

Like if somebody had to create, you know, Ethereum, like all of the popular ones. So she tried to create the next Bitcoin, and people are upset because when they bought, it immediately went down in value. So it's like going to stock market, you buy Disney shares for $50, and the second you buy them, they're worth 10¢. Like But

why did that happen? Why would Disney go down?

Not only that. I feel like if you're

That's what doesn't make sense.

If you're at a place where you have money to just frivolously spend on Hawk 2 as new coin, like, that's money that you can lose. And I also think there needs to be, like, level. This is the second truth I'm holding space for. A level of personal accountability. Like, I am very, like, serious about money.

Like, I'm very fiscally conservative. Like and I like Hock too. I don't know if I trust her, but I like her. And, like, I would never in my life spend 1 single dollar on her coin. It's like a new I don't know if there's success with, like, creator based coins.

Like, I don't know enough about this.

Okay. So here are the deets. Haley launched the Hawk 2a coin widely seen as a meme coin or a form of cryptocurrency that's typically created for entertainment purposes on the Solana blockchain on Wednesday evening.

Of course, she did. I mean, who wouldn't do Solana?

I love the Solana blockchain of of all of the blockchains. That's my favorite 1. It's a really, really

strong 1. I I don't disagree. That's a point.

Her coin quickly hit a market capitalization of nearly $500,000,000. What? Before immediately plummeting 95% to 25,000,000 as of Thursday afternoon according to Dex screener data.

Yeah. So this is where my lack of a finance degree or, like, a genuine understanding of cryptocurrency limits my ability to do my job.

Yeah. And the, the launch appeared to result in big losses for some traders. Coffeezilla, who's a crypto YouTube. Mhmm. Or with more do you know Coffeezilla?

I mean, who doesn't?

He said in a Okay. He said in a tense x space conversation with Welch and her team that the hawk to a rollout was, quote, 1 of the most miserable, horrible launches I've ever seen. A cruising Welch and her team of insider trading, which they denied. Well, here's the thing.

I'm not gonna pretend I understand

out a coin better than they did.

Yeah. And the thing is, isn't that how the market works? Like, why is it Hawk 2's fault that the value went down? Wouldn't the value be predicated on, like, how many people wanna buy it? Like, that's not Hawk's fault, is it?

No. I don't think so. And, like, at the end of

the day, what the fuck are they buying? Does it have value? But that's crypto. Like, crypto doesn't have value. It doesn't

it's not real. Like, it doesn't exist. But

it does. Look at Bitcoin, $100 for a coin. Yeah. Do we need to be launching Swirly coin?

The thing is I can't handle another scandal. Like and if we launched Swirly coin, I'm sure Codezilla would think that it's Coffeezilla. Mine's better. Codezilla would think it's insufficient and that it was a bad rollout. Like, I'm not interested in getting the panties of the Doge community in a twist.

Yeah. Also, like, he hit her with that insider trading. Like, I'm running so

far That's an allegation. Like yeah. Any sort of business venture that could potentially land us in jail, I am so out on. You know? There are certain things that influencers, creators, celebrities do.

I mean, how many celebrities endorsed FTX? How many celebrities endorsed Fyre Festival? I wanna you guys know my biggest fucking fear in life is going to jail. Like, I wouldn't do even if they said, turdie, we can guarantee you make $10,000,000, do turd coin. No.

Turd? Come on. Turd coin. That's what my mom needs. My freedom is worth way more than $10,000,000.

If they said a 1,000,000,000 for you and your family to get out of jail in a couple of years, I'd think about it for sure. Yeah.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna be dreaming about turd coin.

You should. But then you can afford it.

I just, like, need to know what Hawk was trying to do. I feel like Hawk's side of the story is not being told here.

She has a podcast, maybe. Like, she's recording right now. Yeah. Because this all went down yesterday.

Yeah. I just I don't I can't provide commentary. I can only share these things I'm reading.

But what you're saying is that you're trusting your face when it comes to that. A little bit.

Yeah. Like, a little I think that I don't understand what she did wrong.

She hasn't given us reason to think that she's, like, a criminal inside trader.

Like I don't understand what she did wrong. She said, I'm launching Hawkcoin, and people bought it, and then it dropped. I don't know why they bought it, and

I don't know why it dropped, and why it's Hawk's fault. And I think that, like, there needs to be accountability for people who buy things that can increase and decrease in value. Like, okay. And so the thing you bought decreased. That's not the fault of the thing.

You bought it. Like, where's the personal accountability in investing? Romeo

Yeah. In investing. I agree. Now, how's your Dogecoin doing?

Is that time of the year where I check how upsettingly, like

You should have bought 1 Bitcoin and you'd have a 100 g.

When I was, like, first thinking about doing crypto, Doge was I mean, Doge. Bitcoin was still 60 k.

Yeah.

It's more now. Okay. I actually have a little bit of Ethereum. Okay. And oh my god.

I've made $300. Oh my god. Look at me. When did I buy Ethereum? That's so weird.

You're making your money work for you.

Oh my god. And then I also have Doge, and I have made 3 1 hundredths of a cent, 0.0035¢.

And I don't know how you would, like, make more or less.

There was a time when I had, like, $300 surplus in Doge. The time to sell. That was the time to sell. But, yes, I

Did you see how, like, Dave Portnoy, he had, like, owned a bunch of Bitcoin, and then he did an episode with the Winklevoss twins, and they, like, confused him so much that he got nervous and sold all his Bitcoin. And now it's what it is. Yikes. Yikes.

I can't believe I own Ethereum. Can we just go back to that? Ben must have, like, told me to do it. And like, I put, like, $5 in. What do

you mean you can't believe you own Ethereum? Am I supposed to be what is that?

You don't know Ethereum? No. I don't know Ethereum. It's, like, after Bitcoin, the most popular coin. Oh, okay.

And, people say, you know, Ethereum to the moon. That's what they say.

And what about Pepe coin? Do you know about that? Pepe the pig? There's Pepe coin here, another meme coin. Also here, meme coins, though, are considered highly volatile and risky by crypto investors as they are dependent on social media trends.

Like Of course. Yeah. You are putting your money behind Thank you. Coin.

By the way, this is really interesting. You know, I have a I have a little bit of money in Robinhood, like, not a lot, and I invest in, like, you know, Apple, Disney, like, lame, boring things. And over Did Tesla? I did at 1 point. Do I still gotten to it.

No. I don't, and I should have. A couple of so over my all time investments, I have made $660, and what's crazy is that Claudia, it's not good. 300 of it comes from Ethereum. So half of my earnings come Your portfolio sinks.

I know, but I don't monitor it.

But you oh, what'd you put in $10, the free $10 that they give you? No. Don't be rude. I, like, put in, like, that much. And you've made 6 dollars?

Yeah. That's not good. It's not?

No. Yeah. Well, at 1 point, it was higher. I don't know. Everything's green on my app today, so it looks good.

Look look how much green. You sound like a fool. I sound like a fool. Yeah. Yeah.

I should probably, like screen. I should probably, like, dead ass

off the phone. Could be going down, but if they're colored green, like, it's a good Green

is good. Green is up.

Anyways, Hailey, like, I I look forward to hearing more, and I'm gonna give you space. Oh, of course. I'm giving Hailey Grace. Are you ready for our 5th and final story? For, actually, you.

Our 5th and final story is for you. Okay. Not me. Our big Harry Potter fan. Harry Potter HBO series will film in summer 2025 after 32,000 kids audition for the lead role.

Oh, that's interesting because before you said that fact, I said DNPM does not pass muster. Like, who gives a fuck?

Sorry. Lead roles because there's, like, multiple kids in the lead role. So Warner Brothers is

I mean, who would who seriously wouldn't wanna be, like, Daniel Radcliffe? Like, he never has to work. He's a billionaire. But do

you think that the series is gonna do what the movie did? Could it possibly

When people who are, like, small minded think that it will. Yeah.

So during a presentation at Warner Brothers Discovery's headquarters in London on Thursday, the showrunner and director revealed that the show had auditioned 32,000 kids for the lead roles.

That just seems unnecessary for, like, 1 casting director to meet 32,000 kids.

A lot of tape. The casting team is currently reviewing between 501,000 audition tapes per day with the intent to watch every single 1. Though he affirmed that they haven't made any choices in regards to casting yet, he said the next step will be to workshop with some of their shortlisted candidates in January. So they still so,

like, they still are only

They're still watching tapes is what they're saying. I hope they pick, like, all unknowns because now it's like, well, then you watch these tapes for nothing if you're just gonna pick the person from over there.

I actually think that being a casting director is a job I'm so unqualified for. I have no imagination. Like, if you're not exactly what I'm picturing in my head, like, I can't see you. Mhmm. Because when people get cast for things, I'm always like, that sucks, and it ends up being good.

You know? Like, I I think that that's a job I wouldn't do very well.

I actually think I'd be okay. I think I could see it.

You did your vision? Yeah. I think you do too. Big vision. Yeah.

But, yeah, I would say overall, like, this story isn't full of mustard.

You don't need to, like, talk about it more if you don't want. Like, I'm okay to, like, kinda rap. Do

you have anyone, like, in mind for No. I don't

even know what the prequel's about, but I do know this probably be the thing because, I guess, JK Rowling gets a piece of this, of course. Right?

Is it a prequel? No. I think it's just a I think they're just, like, doing it again.

Oh. 0, the same story?

It's a series.

Well, if it's Harry Potter, like, she gets Let

me just confirm that. And we're

just talking about how she's close to billionaire status again after becoming a billionaire and giving away all of her money. So she was at 800,000,000 the last time I checked, and this new franchise could bring her over the edge, and then she could give the billions away again.

Yeah. It really seems like it's the same as the books, just new, Comes afresh.

Just in time for me to have watched all the old crap. Right.

Now you're gonna miss, like, the yassified Harry Potter on HBO Max.

Oh, yeah. They're gonna do what they did, like, with Pretty Little Liars, like, make it, like, new age. Everybody, like, has cell phones and, like, blue hair. And, like, Botox and big lips. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Love. Well, I would say that with the exception of the 5th story, those definitely pass muster. I enjoyed all of them.

You you sold it poorly.

I think it's good when I set the bar low.

It's true.

You know, you really were expecting the worst.

Good when you set the Lisa bar low.

Yeah. When I set the Lisa bar low. And now we have to go

Enjoy our weekend before our big show on Sunday. We're so excited to see you guys.

I love that Gwyneth Paltrow meme that's like, okay. I'm off to it's like me at 4:30 when the sun

goes down. Okay. That's it for me. I'm off to bed. But we are so excited to see all the swirlies who are coming in, traveling, making

the trip. We have such a swirl like, what's the most swirlified place in town? That would be the Hard Rock. It's what I think.

In Fort Lauderdale, Broward. We haven't done a live show in so long. This is our last of the year and probably our last for a really long time.

For a really long time.

Given my physical state, like Yeah. Jackie and I, like, TBD might be wearing matching dresses.

I would love that. Yeah. Maybe tap shoes. Let's go get some tap shoes.

Let's go to, like, a studio and choreograph a tap dance that we could, like, open the show with.

I love that.

Give the sound.

Hope that's what you're thinking.

Of marching feet. Honey Avenue, I'm taking you to 42nd Street.

I'm gonna have, like, a remix. Guys, love you so

much, and we'll see you on Sunday. If we don't, we'll see you on Monday.

Love you. Bye.
