Transcript of Dragons Love Tacos Dora: Thursday, October 22nd, 2026

Good morning, girlies, it's The Toast. It's Jax and Claude and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast 5 things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's The Toast. I sound amazing.

Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday. Yeah, that's right, latter half.

I woke up this morning just like convinced it was Saturday. I'm like, oh.

Let me hold your hand.

I know.

Let me— I said let me hold your hand.

I understand why she did this.

Oh, she thinks she's a rude germaphobe too?

I think she's just like me. I was

going to say germophobia is legit rude. Like, okay, yeah, you shouldn't share a drink with a homeless person, but like, I'm literally your sister. We share DNA. Ben sometimes is like weird about drinks, and I'm like, what We have a child. Like, it's rude. I just want to say germophobia is rude.

And I actually wish my nail was longer like hers because then you could only hold my nail.

Touch even less of it.

And that's—

even though true germophobes don't have long nails because there's nothing on this earth that's more disgusting than the back of your nail.

It's true.

I ate a cinnamon donut yesterday, as we spoke extensively about on the podcast. I was finding cinnamon in my nails all day long.

No donuts today, guys.

It's been the best. I crashed. I literally— maybe it had to do with the fact that I started the day with like a 3,000 Jackie, I went to bed at 7 o'clock. 7 to 7 I slept. Me and Ruby did 7 to 7.

You're like somber 12 to 12.

Literally. Isn't that crazy?

That is crazy.

I know.

So no donuts for us.

So back to, yeah, germophobia is hella rude to the per— like a person that's close in your life. Like, seriously, do you think I'm disgusting? It's not. Wait, let's hook her up to a lie detector.

When I think about why I don't wanna hold your hand right now, I'm not thinking about the germs.

What are you thinking of? How disgusting I am?

Do you want to be disgusting? I

see that you think I'm disgusting.

Let's just be honest about it. You keep finishing my sentences making yourself disgusting.

Let's just be honest.

You keep finishing my sentence in a manner in which you are disgusting.

So when you think about not wanting to hold my hand—

It's more so about like the contact of it. Like, I'm just not interested in the contact right now.

And what about the contact?

Like the texture.

The warmth? Like what?

The texture.

I'm gonna need more than that if I'm not to be offended. Like anytime I'm like, Ben's drinking water—

It's just like my personal space, you know?

When Ben's drinking water, I'm like, can I have a sip? He's like, yeah, let me just like take my last sip and then I'll give you the rest. And it's like, why you gotta be like that?

Well, that's a separate issue between you and your husband.

That's literally rude. That means like you think I'm disgusting. So why did you start a family with me? You know?

Yeah, well sometimes I just want my personal space. Most of the time I want my personal space, but sometimes like I'll allow a hug or something.

You will never allow a hug. What are you talking about?

What do you mean? When we did our photo shoot, I was like giving you a hug.

Well, that was because there was a check involved. You'll hug for a check.

Nobody made me. Nobody said like— it was sort of my creative liberties. Like nobody said, if you hug, it would be a better photo.

And I just wanna say, I was there for the hug and like, it wasn't like the best, warmest hug I've ever received.

It was so, it was so performative.

Like it was so like, we're on stage.

No, it was me really just feeling the moment.

That's why I like to do live shows with you. Cuz like we hold hands when we walk out and like we hug at the end and it's probably like the most physical contact I've ever gotten from my sister.

We do need to book some live shows, by the way.

I know. Queerly Squad showing us up. 4 nights at MSG.

Nothing like that.

No, no, nothing. A local, a local residency.

Something here, something there.

Something easy. 100%.

No, no. Um, the rest of the country will have to wait

for almost a decade. Most likely.

I think a decade is like fair to say.

A time will come, you guys, just stick with us through the years. Like obviously we're in our like postpartum pregnant mama years, young kids, soft '90s

era.

But a time will come where we're done with that, where we're getting liposuction and breast lifts and Botox and Ozempic, and we're gonna go on tour and

the kids are off to school

and they're gonna be like grown and like they can live without us for like a week here, a week there. The time will come, and I just wanna let you know, like, your patience will be rewarded. It will be probably a decade from now, but isn't it fun to have something to look forward to?

Time flies. So true.

So true.

Time flies. I, I don't wanna make any promises I can't keep, but like, Cam Toast. Oh, toast.

Oh, wait, hold on.

Like, what if we just ran it back?

We're gonna have to cut that out. No,

what if we ran it back? I'm just saying like anything's possible, man.

Wow. You bringing up Toast in the year 2027 is crazy.

Toast.

Camp Toast. Sorry.

Um, I look back on Camp Toast fondly.

So do I.

It was— I, I go through periods, of course, like right after it was the most amazing thing. Like the, the second one, the first one was really rainy. Um, and it— Did it rain? And it was like smaller and it was like an exper— and it was very special. And if you were there,

it was an experimental event.

It was a very special like incubation period. Mm-hmm. The second one was Balls to the wall.

We had gotten some sponsors involved.

We took over the whole camp. We were able to do a bit. We had the GlamBot 360. Oh yeah. It was firing on all cylinders.

And then the third one never happened, right? 'Cause of COVID

Correct.

Did we ever get our deposit back?

Yes.

We did?

Okay. Yes.

Okay, that was very cartoony.

So when I think of Camp Toast, I do think of the second one 'cause that was like what future Camp Toast could be.

I just don't know if when we are in that era of being snatched, ready to go, if we wanna sleep in a bunk.

Isn't that our favorite thing?

I think we're gonna have like old bones, you know?

We'll bring like our— what are those Eight Sleeps everyone's talking about?

Okay.

Oh yeah, I know you want one. I do. Let the world know. Manifest.

I was actually just gonna get one.

Manifest.

I can't escape the Eight Sleep. First I'm watching the US Open and it's like logos everywhere. And you know when a brand has like that much money, I'm like, oh, your product sucks. Like, that's just the assumption. Like, you're spending too much money on marketing, you have too much to prove. And I didn't even know what it was. Let me tell you, everyone in my life is like, you have an Eight Sleep? You have an Eight Sleep? You have an Eight Sleep? I'm like, no, I don't have this $4,000 machine. that air conditions your bed. Now I kind of want one. I

just feel like if anyone were to have one, it would be you.

Because you guys know being warm is my trigger, and I was actually extremely warm in my sleep last night. Um, it also heats it, and I also love a heating pad. So I think I need to get an Eight Sleep. I think it's time. This is not a sponsorship, although I'm hoping for a free one.

I don't think I need one. I, I like— sleep is great for me. That's like not my issue with sleep, you know? Like when I can get it, it's great.

Right, right.

So if you guys want to send me one, um, I'll refuse.

I'll take it.

I'll refuse the delivery.

Okay. Return to sender.

Um, but we were saying Cam Toast. Oh, so I go through waves of how I think about Cam Toast. Obviously immediately after it was the best thing that ever happened. Then of course the—

The life of regret.

The disgruntleds came out. Right. But now like with even more distance, like it was so unbelievable.

It was completely unique. Not ever been done before.

It was so much fun.

Yeah. We like ourselves had a blast.

But maybe we only had fun cuz we didn't have to wait on line and we sat and had lunch with our friends.

That does sound fun. Like, I can't lie. Um, it is Thursday. I just wanna remind everyone we're keeping our promise. Dear Toasters will be on air today. Mm-hmm. And I don't know how I'm feeling about the Thursday transition.

I, I, I feel like it wasn't necessary this week because like we could have done it on Tuesday.

We can't keep moving it.

No, but, but like you just, we had one short week and all of a sudden Dear Toasters are on. It was cuz it was Columbus Day and then Tuesday was a busy day, so we moved to Thursday. But honestly, Thursday's a busy day. We always try and get, uh, out of here at a certain time.

Okay. But also Tuesdays are tough because It's the day of Dancing with the Stars. There's always like a lot of pre-Dancing with the Stars news. There's not, babe. Yes, there is. No, I'm telling you, we moved it for a reason. And we're gonna try it.

I think it was premature. We'll see what goes. I think it was premature.

But I don't know. Yeah, I'm not loving it so far, even though this is the first week.

This is the second week. Well, yeah. Because last week was the short week.

'Cause we physically couldn't do it.

I just feel like exception makes bad law. And last week was a short week and we made— and then we made a law because of it.

Okay, Aristotle, law is reason free from passion.

Do not agree. We made a new law on a week of exception. And it was a bad law.

Chills.

It was a bad law.

I have chills.

Okay, so that's what happened. Okay. I started a new book last night, Calamity Cup.

Good for you.

I started 2 new books actually, but I stopped reading the first one. I'm not like shaded or anything.

It was good?

I just like, it was like, I just was realizing like, I just don't think it's for me.

Um, you should say the book. Like,

no, because I really like the author.

Okay.

And she wrote like one of my favorite books. So like, I just, I don't know, it was just more that I just felt like I bit off more than I could chew. So I started Calamity Cup because I've been hearing Amazing things. And I've— I'm only 5% in, so yeah, it's good, but what do I know?

Right.

What do— and I heard, like, I saw when you take the jacket off of it, like, it's party G. Oh, good. So I have to order it too.

Good, good, good.

So I have to order it too. I've got all these, like, I bought all these used books.

Yeah?

Um, because I want to buy all the books that I—

So you'll buy a used book, but you won't hold your sister's hand?

Well, no, I think now I would sooner hold your hand. So I thought I was like—

So fucking rude.

I thought I was like hacking life because I'm, I'm now buying all the books that that I love because I don't own them cuz I read on Kindle and on Amazon you can buy used books. So I was like, I don't need a brand spanking new $18 book.

This is so cardboard of you, Jackie. I've never even thought for one second about buying a used thing on Amazon.

But it's like, they always give you the option. It's just for show. So like, why does it have to be brand new? I don't really care. And I'm taking the jacket off.

So like, and also a book that looks more weathered, like is more aesthetic.

Yes. Aesthetic.

I'm shocked to hear you went for the used option on Amazon.

So I bought a bunch of used books and I was like, okay, Bradley, some of them came from like libraries.

Bradley.

And so I was like so excited. I made a reel about it and then like a couple people in the comments like just flagged for me, like

the hygienics.

They were like, make sure to put your used books in the freezer for 24 to 48 hours. Like, why though? Like, why?

Because of like the lice and the scabies.

Because of like book bugs.

Yeah.

And mold.

Oh my God. What have you done?

So I put them all in the freezer. They're still in the garage freezer.

You should put them in the garbage.

No, they're in the garage freezer. They'll be there for literally an eternity. I'm not buying any more used books. Like seriously. Yuck.

Very broadly of you.

I tried. Okay. Good for you. So now you can't say like, I didn't try to be like sustainable.

But you weren't trying to save money. You were trying to like make the aesthetic even cooler.

No, I was trying to save money cuz it would've been thousands.

Oh, I'm proud of you then.

So I really was. It was a dollar.

Wow. Really?

Yeah.

That's like in the city Strand, like there are these random tables of books. You could literally buy them for like 50 cents.

And honestly, one of them, like I just threw away.

You overpaid for?

I just threw it away. It was disgusting.

Okay.

I'm ashamed. I don't know why I didn't think it through. Like think— The ideas. I just like assumed like if I read a book and then I donated it, like it would look great.

Right. But what if like 35 people read the book and the book was in their house? I wanna vomit. And lived at the beach and lived in the basement and they moved and they put it in a box and they left it in the car and it was warm.

I actually wanna throw up.

Just, okay.

Okay. So like, should I throw those freezer books away or like?

No, 'cause now that you've frozen them, like maybe they're fine. And if they're, if they're still giving you like the willies, donate them again. Restart the cycle.

Oh, that's bad. Okay, donate them again.

To like a library or something.

Instead of throwing them away. Yeah, I'll donate them again.

Yeah. I'm not gonna throw it in the incinerator.

I'm not gonna throw them away.

I'm gonna donate them to the garbage can.

I won't throw them away.

That is funny.

So yeah, I tried. Okay.

You did. We're proud, Jaggy. Let's all say it together, you guys. We're proud of you.

Oh, can I go release some funds, please?

Yeah, right. Go release. Amanda Frances's wedding looked beautiful.

It did look beautiful. I miss her.

She wore a red lip.

I miss her.

I don't, but I wish, I genuinely wish her the best.

A red lip is a classic look.

It is, except, you know, makeup artists say like you're never supposed to wear a red lip on your wedding day just 'cause like you're kissing so many people, you're talking, it gets all over your dress, it gets all over your husband, it gets all over the face. Um, but hers looked—

Do you think Taylor wore a red lip for her wedding? I

was just gonna ask you that. I do.

I, I hope it wasn't that coral shade though.

No, no, it's her classic, it's Pat McGrath. Like she would definitely like the color of that, like red.

Sometimes it's off, like we were just looking at her premiere photo.

Yes, yes, because I think sometimes she tries to complement the shade of red to like what she's wearing. But in recent years she's stopped playing around and she uses the same, as far as I know, Pat McGrath lip. Pat McGrath is going out of business though. I wonder what that means for Taylor Swift's lips.

She'll probably like buy all the— you can also like make your own lipstick.

Okay, cardboard. You're so cardboard today.

Sorry, that's not what I meant. Like in a lab, like bring— oh yeah, the shade that you like and like have them make you just one lipstick. It's actually quite un-cardboard.

It's interesting that she never, um, like wore a Rare Beauty lip, you know, or like did it with Rare Beauty. Like everyone knows it's like—

Oh, like a collab?

It's like her bestie.

Well, I mean, she's not gonna look ugly for her friend. Yeah. Not that Rare Beauty's ugly.

No, it's actually pretty good. I'm wearing it.

But like, I'm gonna wear my best color, period.

No matter who manufactured it.

Period.

Oh, so I was watching, um, the Norm Macdonald And they— he had this bit that like I actually keep thinking about. It's so funny about how like, you know, humans say that they have like unconditional love, but like you— there's only real unconditional love in the world is like from a dog. Because if you think about it, like Hitler had a dog, and there was a dog in the world that woke up every morning and was like, where's Hitler? It was really funny. Um, I just thought of that.

Bruno.

Bruno.

Bruno, my love.

My love.

Stray.

Bruno's doing well.

Bruno's— oh, oh, actually I wanna get like the class's opinion on something because Bruno's scared of the steps in my house. He will not come all the way up the steps. He will go about halfway. There's like a landing. Mm-hmm. Halfway. And he won't go up to the landing, but the step before it. And then Margo came and she was like obviously appalled by this. Mm-hmm. And so she put a piece of kibble on every step cuz you know, he's very food motivated.

Oh, she's like really one of those?

No, she literally came over like a trainer.

Yeah. Right.

To train him how to go up the steps. She put a piece of kibble on every step. He's—

He's very food motivated.

Bruno would risk his life.

For a meal. He has many times.

For a bite of food.

When he ate that bag of dark chocolate.

Bruno does not fear death. He fears nothing.

The only thing left to fear is fear itself.

Is the stairs.

Yeah.

He wouldn't. The kibble was right in front of him. He wouldn't? He wouldn't. He wouldn't. And he still won't. And so I, we are getting a runner for the steps.

So, okay. But maybe, maybe it's not that he won't. Maybe it's that he can't.

But how come he can do the first half of steps?

Maybe he gets like tired. Maybe. How old is he?

No, but then he stands on the step and cries there for on end until someone comes and gets him.

How old is he?

He's 5.

Oh, that's young.

He's a COVID baby.

Oh, our little COVID baby.

So I want to, we are getting a runner for the steps, but it's like not here yet and it's customs. It's gonna be a while. I feel like that will, I mean, a lot of—

She's trying to out Bradley now. Like I have a custom runner.

We got a custom runner. It's cool. Okay. Yeah. Um, and I don't buy used books and I don't buy used $1 books. I buy books made of diamonds. Um, so it— I just said customs, let you guys know. That's why it's like not here yet, and I don't know when it's gonna be, uh, because I feel like that'll make the steps maybe less slippery if he's like a foot and a half this way.

Does Bruno sleep with you? How does he get to your room?

I have to bring him with me.

Oh, he's a big boy too.

And he's a big boy. Nightly workout. And I have to also be carrying a snack.

Of course, multiple if— And a drink. Yeah, maybe like a laptop and a phone.

Exactly.

No, I know.

And this dry guy.

Oh, that's really—

So I'm hoping the runner helps, but like, has anyone experienced this and what have you done?

Well, you know, I did experience something similar where Theo like— I know, every time

Every time Bruno won't jump up, they say he's dying.

Well, one of the first signs of cancer in my boy Theo was that he wouldn't jump up out of the bed. And we were like, get up here, like, what are you doing? And we'd have to pick him up and he would like yelp every time. Turns out, cancer.

What are you gonna do? Every time Bruno looks funny, they're like, he has cancer.

Well, sorry, like, we're all collectively scarred and we want Bruno to live.

I know, but you're just always trying to like Munchausen Bruno.

So Bruno and Magnolia— sorry, Rattanolia— are from the same breeder that Theo was from. So I just think we should all be looking out.

And the belief is that Theo's cancer was genetic? Not environmental.

J'accuse!

No, no, I'm questioning.

You think I gave Romeo— what's his name? Theo?

There was a question mark at the end of that sentence. That wasn't a statement.

I did believe it was a poor and inbred facility.

You think it was genetic? That would put Bruno and Magnolia's health into question.

At risk. And that's why we're just aware of it, because Romeo is not from that facility. Yeah. Like, I have written off that facility.

And you don't— I do think Theo's cancer could have been environmental. And I'm not saying in your home, but I'm saying in the streets. That's crazy streets.

I think you're victim blaming, and I would expect nothing less from you.

I don't think that was victim blaming, but, um, sound off in the comments.

So you're saying like Theo gave himself the cancer?

His environment. I think that, that he's a victim of the poor air quality.

Yeah.

Of poor air quality and congestion.

1,000%.

And pollution.

1,000%.

And that's why we should recycle.

And that's why we should recycle. I love that.

To save Theo's life.

Bring Theo back. Like,

doo da doo doo da doo. Doo doo doo doo doo. Crunchy Theodora. Doo doo doo doo Theodora. Doo doo doo doo Theodora.

Dora the Explorer.

Crunchy Angel Dora.

Love of my life Dora.

Beautiful stunning Dora.

Monsieur Angel Dora.

Environmental cancer Dora.

Sex slave Dora.

Lunch above the bed Dora.

Where are you now, Dora?

Miss you so, Dora.

I hope you're loving life in your dungeon, Dora.

Dragons love tacos, Dora.

Dragons love tacos, Dora.

Title.

Title. Today's episode is so one we like that are like would hypothetically earn us a Golden Globe, don't you find?

So far, but let's not jinx it.

Yeah, I know, I just feel like we're kind of on a roll.

Anything offensive?

No. And like, I'm keeping it tight.

And I tried to like buy used books.

Yeah, right, right. And we love the— and we said recycle. This is a positive—

We said pollution.

We're a positive show.

We said pollution, air quality,

Golden Globe. Just something to think about to all the members voting.

Just a suggestion.

Things we care about. We want you to know who we are at our core, and this is what we care about.

Um, I guess we could get into the stories. 17 minutes have passed. Seriously, what did we say?

So much.

I don't even remember.

Because you were so busy Bradley-ing.

Because I was busy like chipping away every dollar.

Yeah, right.

Yeah. I also got an injury yesterday.

Um, looks fine.

It's kind of your fault. Oh, please. No, it wasn't. It wasn't Claudia's fault at all. It was actually my fault. It was actually my fault for being Bradley once again. Um, just because I've been so cheap. So we had our photo shoot.

Maybe I need to leave Florida. Like, I think maybe I'm having too much of an impact. No, it's true. We had our photo shoot.

shoot last week, and there were a lot of like cute props on set and like ceramics and stuff. And they said, because I was in my ceramic— They

were watching your, your shelf saga. They said, these props, like, do you want them?

They were watching my shelf show and they were like, you can take some of the props. So I took a bunch of ceramics and like one of them had like little leaf, uh, like flower stems in it. And I put them in my car. I took out the ceramics. But then yesterday I picked you up from a blowout. Your hair looks great.

Thank you so much. I got stranded at the shopping center. Like, don't ask. I'll tell you guys all about it because my Volvo arrived.

And it was just like cleaning off the front seat. I saw there were these little buds, so I just like scrape them from the interior, and it was a thorn, and it pricked me so bad. I think my finger started gushing blood when I'm driving.

She pulls up with like literally like a wound. Yeah, like, and I was like, with gauze. I'm like, are you okay?

No, it was like I had to, you know, make it work moment.

I felt like such a teenager, like getting picked up, and like I got stranded.

Oh, she got frozen yogurt.

I got frozen yogurt, 'cause I saw your location, you were still like 6 minutes away, and there was like a frozen yogurt shop.

But by the way, you said the time I was there at that time, so you could've seen it early.

She did an amazing blowout, and then I was like left early, and I didn't have anywhere like to go, so I walked over to the frozen yogurt place, It was after school, it was like 4 o'clock. It was so packed, I actually felt like so insecure. Like, there was like, you know, literally the scene in Mean Girls, like JV jocks, cool Asians. Like, I was literally like— Me and Aaron. I couldn't find anywhere to sit. Like, I literally took my ice cream—

Did you eat in the toilet?

To the toilet. I basically ate on the toilet. Like, I had to stand outside waiting for you with my ice cream. Um, it was just like humiliating. But I wanted to share a story. I got my Volvo! It came yesterday. Um, and then Ben and I, like, he dropped me off and then He was gonna come pick me up, but I had the key in my car. Like it was a whole stupid thing.

Right. So she didn't have a car even though she has 5 cars.

Even though now I have like multiple vehicles, I had no way to get home. And I'm just loving my Volvo. You are? I'm— have you seen it?

I saw you 'cause I dropped you off.

Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Um, but like, have you been inside?

No, no, no.

You should definitely hop in. It's so elite. I made a TikTok that I'm gonna post shortly. I'm really excited about it.

Can I get a sneak peek?

Yeah. Shout out to the person in the comments from yesterday who gave me the idea. Apparently I forgot about that funny scene in, Um, Freaky Friday. Oh, sorry, when Lindsay Lohan is in Jamie Lee Curtis's body and, um, the husband tries to kiss her and she's like, hell no. And he's like, do you want me to pick you up or are you going to pick up the Volvo? And she was like, oh, I will most definitely be picking up the Volvo. So here, look, sneak peek. Ready? Okay, hold on, just don't worry about that part. Ready? You need a ride home or

you going to pick up the Volvo? Oh, I will most definitely be picking up the Volvo.

Hey, it needs like a little bit of editing, obviously. This is just raw. Cute,

right? Super cute.

Oh, I will most definitely be picking up the Volvo. Like, literally me.

Love that.

Okay, let's get into the stories without further ado.

Yeah, sorry, I also wanted to say something. We are recording a little bit late today cuz I had to go to the doctor. All good, all good. Um, but Ben was there with me and you know, like pregnancy is annoying cuz like sometimes you get into like a fit of laughter and like, you can't stop. So they had me turn on my side, and so Ben was like behind me, like my butt crack was sticking out. And so I like flag Ben and he like looks at me and I just like flash him my crack. It was like this harmless little thing. Ben like chuckled. Jackie, I couldn't contain myself afterwards. Like I was actually in tears and they're like trying to do all the things like my blood pressure, and I'm just like, oh my God, I was in tears laughing so hard I couldn't get out of it. Like for the rest of the appointment, I was like trying to like stop. Oh my God, I was laughing. I just kept thinking like, I'm so funny. Like, I just thought it was like the cleverest, like, and how much fun Ben must be having at this time.

I forgot to tell you that when I got here. Oh man, I actually like— I had to end the appointment. I could not stop laughing. Like, she was like, it's okay if you laugh. And I was like, no, you don't understand, cuz she didn't see it.

Yeah, of course. So she doesn't know why you're laughing.

She was like— I was like, sorry. I'm just like—

Thank God she didn't see it.

I was like, sorry, I just I'm just cracking myself up.

You are cracking. You're cracking yourself up.

Oh my God, it's just like a little like, ugh. Ben didn't even think it was that funny.

It's not a doctor's appointment for Claudia if she's not showing her ass.

It's true, it's true. I kind of live to show my ass. At the doctor. Oh my God, I forgot about that.

Oh my God, the difference between you and me, I would never.

No, of course, it's just like, it was like a boring appointment and I was just like, I felt like the wind I'm looking forward

to cracking

up. I felt like a stiff breeze and I was like, oh, my crack's hanging out. I don't even notice, you know? And Ben's behind me. I'm like, I wonder if he saw it.

He's probably like being respectful, like didn't even—

No, Ben was on his phone the whole time. Disrespect. Yeah, I know. I'm like, I'm over here like, you know, growing a child. Can you like pay attention at the appointment?

Unacceptable.

Totally. Okay.

Now, without further ado.

Oh no, it's—

oh no, we shouldn't have let you say that.

I know, you know, like, okay, no, I'm fine.

Now without further ado, it's time for the Fast Five stories that you need to know.

And it turns out there's actually not. There's only one, and it's Minky Couture.

Oh, I put you onto Minky?

Monopoly at McDonald's is back! You can't win if you don't play. Get your bag.

Uh, first story, a little more Glee reboot news.

Oh wow, they decided to do it and now like the hits start coming and they don't stop coming.

Lea Michele is returning for the Glee reboot as Rachel Berry. So yesterday we discussed Disney and Hulu's reboot of Glee, and now a source said Rachel Berry is back in.

As Rachel.

As Rachel, yeah.

Yeah.

2 more people who posted, it seems to confirm that they will play their roles, are Heather Morris, who played Brittany S. Pierce, and Chord Overstreet, who played Sam Evans. Chord Overstreet would be a good new Mr. Schue.

Agreed. Chord Overstreet is so cute. Like, I love him. I didn't see that Chord had posted. I saw that Brittany S. Pierce did. So it's clearly not what we had said yesterday where it's like a whole new cast. I don't know what it's going to be. I do trust Ryan Murphy. I mean, anyone who can create Glee can really do anything.

Yeah, and he's not like a one-hit wonder. He's created a lot of really good shows.

No, right. Brad Falchuk, of course. Bring back Holly— like, if we're bringing people back, bring back Holly Holliday. You know what I mean? The substitute teacher. She could be the new Mr. Show. I don't know, like, obviously I'm excited. Like, I love Rachel Berry. Glee is— when I think about, you know, I need to start writing this down because when I think about TV characters who like made an impact and like literally raised me, we say Dr. Mindy Lahiri, Jenna Maroney, Rachel Berry has to be in there. And I thought of another one the other day. Oh, Fran Fine.

They are all the same person.

Fran Fine, you think too?

Uh, a little bit different, but the first 3 that you mentioned.

Someone just remember that for me because every time I'm always like, oh, I am— these are the right people. So obviously like I'm excited about it. I'm very protective of Glee, of course. Um, I think Glee is a perfect show with the exception of like a couple of episodes, of course. Um, and I, I do worry, of course, about preserving the legacy of something that's deeply important to me. So I'm not like automatically on board, I just want to say.

Yeah.

Even as like the biggest Gleek ever, like we literally went to

the Glee—

the Gleesh concert at Nassau Coliseum when we were like 12. So hate on me and run your mouth, baby, I don't care. Say what the words are saying to knock me down. What about Harry Shum?

What about Harry Shum? I mean, he's so busy as a doctor.

Well, look, what's with the Glee erasure on Dancing with the Stars? They talk all the time.

Maybe because it highlights the fact that he's a dancer.

Or because Grey's is an ABC show, they're just like really synergetic plugging his ABC show.

But like— But the Glee reboot is Disney and Hulu, and this has obviously been in the works for more than 1 minute.

Well, they talked about like when Amber Riley came, they didn't even like say like, you're a Glee cat. They never even said Glee.

That's weird. And it is Disney and Hulu.

Yeah, interesting that it's Disney and Hulu. I thought Ryan Murphy had like— well, of course Glee was on Fox, but I thought Ryan Murphy had like a huge production deal with Netflix.

Where's Fox in the streaming wars?

Streamers, great question.

Who does Fox belong to?

Who owns Fox? Isn't it like News Corp?

Who's News Corp?

Who owns— like, what streaming service if you're watching a show like— oh wait, like Masked Singer. Like, where could you watch Masked Singer? It's Paramount.

Maybe.

I did record Masked Singer on the Paramount lot. Or was it CBS? Oh, they're the same thing.

Fox CBS.

Now it's DreamWorks. Yeah, yeah. No, what's it called?

Skydance.

Skydance.

Skydance.

And Fox is on what streaming service? I think it's like the new—

the new Skydance. Paramount?

Yeah.

Redstone?

Redstone?

Viacom?

What's Redstone?

Viacom?

No, no, what is Redstone? Is that a company?

Like, no, isn't that Viacom Redstone?

I've never heard of Redstone. Is that a channel? Like, what are you saying? No,

no, it's like a Viacom Redstone. Thank you. It's a person, Sumner Redstone. He was the chairman of Viacom. Thank you. Oh

wow, okay, now you're knowing the chairman of the board.

Of course, I know people in high places.

You literally—

Because I am really big on—

Yeah, and I read used books. Um, like, obviously I'm excited about this. It's like hard to get excited, um, when reboots are overwhelmingly disappointing. And Glee is perfect. Glee— I saw people talking about this, like it was like a supercut of all the most offensive things they've ever seen, but it was like offensive towards everyone. And the top comment was so true, like offensive to all is offensive to none. They really said the craziest shit on that show, and it's just like, if you're gonna keep that energy up, great. I don't know if the world can handle it right now, um, but if that's the type of show it is, like, I was cracking.

The world needs it.

I think the world is desperate for it. That's why our show is so popular.

I agree.

I agree.

Even though we're a bunch of—

Used book reading environmentalists. Who can't wait for the Golden Globes premiering on CBS in January, which I'll be watching 'cause I watch every year whether or not I'm involved.

'Cause it is like really, really entertaining.

Yeah. With like the best hosts.

With consistently the best hosts.

And I love the production of it all. Like, yeah.

Yeah. And the dinner, like, look.

Oh, it's so fun. Yeah.

Um, are you ready for our next story? Kylie Jenner is allegedly putting pressure on Timothée Chalamet to propose, but the actor is not there yet.

It's just not true.

So Page Six is reporting that Kylie is ready to get engaged and has made it pretty clear to Timothée that she sees marriage in their future. She's not giving him ultimatums or demanding a ring, but she's definitely making her feelings known and hoping he'll get there sooner rather than later. It's putting some pressure on Timothée to take that next step.

I just don't believe it. Let me tell you why. The Kardashians are not huge on marriage. They do a lot of like relationships, and I think a lot of them like reflect poorly on the marriages that they did have— Lamar, Kanye. Um, so I don't think they're like obsessed with marriage. And Kylie specifically is like a billionaire. You have a lot of things, you know, paperwork, finances. Like sometimes it's okay to do like the Kurt and Goldie thing.

Yeah.

I don't see Kylie like itching to get married. She's also not like so traditional.

Like, I would like to see, to see her get engaged. And I feel like for her, even if she doesn't really see like marriage necessarily in the future, and by the way, we've said the same thing about Taylor. So like, oh, Taylor Swift can get married,

then no, I feel like what we said about Taylor is like, like, that's all true, but she's such like a corny traditional romantic.

I know, but if like, if from a business perspective, if Taylor can get married, then so can anyone.

Yes.

Um, but I, I imagine that Kylie would want some sort of level up in her relationship.

Commitment.

Whether it's just a proposal and a ring and they're en fiancé and they're life partners. But you don't want to be someone's girlfriend forever because you could just like turn around and walk away from a girlfriend.

Didn't she do that with Travis? Like, they wore rings and said like wifey, but they never

I, I wasn't following that relationship closely.

I feel like that's what they did. Now, a good way to level up the relationship is also to have a child.

Yeah.

Not that, you know, we should all be having children just to lock down men. I think that's actually a terrible reason.

Really?

Yeah, I do. Like, obviously a child is beautiful and it's a blessing no matter what, but I think a lot of people actually like get pregnant like to hold down a man, and it's like, well, the man was never worth holding down, and now you have a kid with the worst person in the world. So like—

Yeah, I think there's, there's different situations, you know, because that reminds me of just like all those Tristan Thompson girls who like try and like trick him into staying and he won't.

It's like almost Blac Chyna and Rob. Like, the reasons for having a baby were so bad. Now, of

course, then I also like hear of like girls in situations where it's just like sort of circling the drain and they like it. Like, they're— and it's like,

just sure,

force his hand.

Sure. Yes. But I think sometimes when you have to force someone, like, there's another reason. It's like maybe because they suck.

But I'm sort of talking that in more in real life situations, not celebrities, because I don't know celebrities, you know.

Oh, I do. As like—

No, like, so I'm saying like probably not, you know, and their track records aren't for like sticking around.

Yeah.

I'm saying like sometimes like—

Poke a hole? Is that Jackie O's official advice? Poke a hole and read a used book.

Like I could just see a Dear Toaster situation, you know? Where it's like—

Yes, no, and I hear what you're saying. Like in real life applications of love and relationships, like sometimes just getting pregnant kind of is the fix-all that we needed.

It just is the kick in the pants that you needed to get serious about someone that like you wanna spend the rest of your life with who's like sort of like, like being a little wishy-washy, but like, you know, would step up to the plate and be a good dad and be a good husband.

Now with Timothée and Kylie, I do think he's actually serious about Kylie. So I think this report is fake. Um, but wanting like a commitment from your partner, I don't know, I just feel like Kylie's in charge. Do you know what I mean? I feel like she's not like waiting for Timothée.

I don't know. I think they're equally in charge, but I don't know that like just Kylie's in charge because I think she does a lot of things the Timothée way.

Oh, I think like Timothée thinks he's in charge, but Kylie runs this game. Like It's just obviously like the Kylie show. Like, Kylie's Kylie. Like, the reaction to her at the— first of all, can we talk a little bit about the like backlash to Kylie? You know, people being like, she's not a model, there are girls who've walked their whole life. And it's like, girl, shut up. Like, I seriously cannot take the Kylie slander. Like, the only reason anyone was talking about that show, it's not because of the models, sorry, it was because of Kylie.

Even on the Victoria's Secret Instagram or TikTok page, like, all the videos have like 5 million views, 6 million views. Kylie has 150 million. It's just on another level. And if you want eyeballs on your show, like it's Kylie. And I think the fact that she came up the way that she did, and it's funny, like comparing her to Kendall even, who didn't even walk the show, but like Kendall could have worn the fantasy bra.

And it would've been actually like a great—

Appropriate and fine. But it's like, it's actually such a slay for Kylie. Like, yeah, she doesn't have the, the height of a certain model. Right. The experience. Yeah. And it's like, but you can still have the dream job even without those physical things that, you know, she wasn't born with.

I didn't really think about Kendall at all until I saw reports being like, is Kendall jealous? Yada yada. And it was clear that they, um, the Kardashians cleared that up real quick 'cause she has a non-compete. I think she's—

Intimissimi.

Intimissimi?

Intimissimi.

She's the, uh, like has an exclusive lingerie deal, so she can't participate in any Victoria's Secret. Not that she probably would've walked.

Yeah. But like, especially if Kylie was—

would it have— I think it would've been weird for her to walk if Kylie was like the big surprise.

I think so. But I also feel like then Kendall could've worn the bra.

Yeah.

Yes, if she was able to— eligible to walk. But that wouldn't have been as big of a surprise. I think the fact that it wasn't— It would have been like kind of expected. Someone we've never seen on a Victoria's Secret runway, but who obviously has model-like gorgeous looks.

Model-like qualities.

I think it was, it was so perfect. I think anyone who's saying anything is just a hater.

1,000%. And like, oh, we're back to hating the Kardashians.

Genuinely, like, if you don't get joy from Kylie Jenner, I feel bad for you.

I agree.

It's such a— she's such a joyous individual to be a fan of.

It's so true. Like, obviously the visuals are beautiful, but she's got a great personality too.

And the lore and the Timothy and the events.

It's great. Like, when we talk about—

And the orange from Artie Supreme. Like, you're missing all of that.

It's true. That weird Milanese, um, award show where they made their—

The Roma. The David Roma. The David Roma. Oh my God, I'm so excited for the Davids this year.

Not as excited as I am for the Golden Globes.

I know, but I would say like my— once like I'm thinking outside of the country, it's the Davids.

Yeah, but you know, the Golden Globes, that kind of is a global affair. They're probably the biggest award show on Earth.

On the planet. Yeah, so what are the Davids when you've been nominated to be nominated for a Globe?

Literally nothing.

What are the Davids? Literally nothing, period.

Um, I don't think that this report is true, but if it is, Timothée, give Kylie whatever she wants. Like, you're so lucky to be in her presence. Like, we only think you're cute because of Kylie.

But like, and they could do this forever, I'm not complaining, but like, it does get to a point where it's like, how do you level up in any way?

Yeah, I don't know why, like, when the woman is just— and maybe this is like my own internalized misogyny— like, when she's such a powerful woman, like, she doesn't need to be married. I like, I, I really But

doesn't— wouldn't she even want like that piece of jewelry? Like every girl wants to wear an engagement ring.

I think she will get one. That's what I'm saying. Like her and Travis—

It doesn't have to be about marriage, but like I do think it's natural to want— Hearing someone you love like make that commitment to you. Yeah. And that— and he should wear a ring too so that like when he goes out, people know.

Bitches are put on notice.

Yeah. I would want— if I were her, I would want him to wear a ring.

Yeah, of course.

And not just she has to wear one and be locked down.

No, but it's like, are you leaving the house without me? No, you're not.

Sometimes he does, you know.

Well, I don't believe this.

No, I don't believe it either, but it does like— it does bring forth this question that's sort of looming.

Yes, it's been 3 years, they're of a certain age. He says, you know, he wants to get married one day, like, so—

She wants more children, like, they're very much in love, they couldn't be happier, they're each other's person.

The perfume is oh wow.

So the question just again is what's next? That's it, that's really it. But like, I'm happy where we are.

No, me too. I'm blooming where I'm planted.

But it is sort of looming. Yeah. Are you ready for our 3rd story? Mm-hmm. Which is some casting news, kind of major news. Fourth Wing has their Violet and Xaden.

Oh, really? Mm-hmm. So I read First Wing, Fourth Wing.

The first Fourth Wing.

Thank you. I wasn't obsessed with it the way that other people were. I'm really not like a big fantasy reader. I feel like if I read Twilight, like I wouldn't have even liked it before the movies. Like I'm not into like the spooky. And then I started the 2nd one and I was just like, this feels so forced. I was only reading it 'cause like everybody loves it. And I'm so much more authentic than that. But I know the story and I know she's really little and he's really big.

Yes, I read Fourth Wing. We read it for Redheads.

Oh!

And I really liked it. Everybody loved it. I think it's like our number 2 book ever. Everybody loved it. And then I read the second one, as you do when you love a book, and I didn't like it. And I didn't like how it ended. And that was it for me. I'm not participating anymore.

Well, maybe I did read the second book.

And the end?

I remember like I stopped understanding what was going on. So it's a lot of world-building. It's this like fake school, like Hogwarts-y vibes, where like they ride dragons and like he's a sphinx and she's a dinosaur. I don't know. And I remember in the middle of the book I was like, I no longer understand what world I'm in, what the rules are. I got confused and I just gave up. But I actually think it would be a really good movie.

Yeah, it'll— it could be the next Twilight.

Harry Potter. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, so the casting, they're 2 unknowns to me. So Esther McGregor will be playing Violet. She obviously will have a different hair color, but she has a very sweet face.

I don't know her at all.

And then this young man, Emilio Sacraya, will be playing Zayden Ryerson.

Hot. I don't know him either.

He looks like Belmont a little bit.

I was just going to say that. He looks like Belmont Cramelli. I prefer this. I prefer unknowns, especially when you think about like, obviously now we know Robert Pattinson, Bella Thorne, but they were nobodies. They were just like teenagers plucked. That's the way it should be. Same with Belmont Camelli and Ella Bright. Like, yes, she did play Kate Middleton for 30 seconds in The Crown, but like, I don't really want to know you.

Yeah.

I think it's the right thing to do. So they both look— it's a, it's a sexy porn book if you haven't read it.

Don't you feel like we already read casting news about this?

No, people have been just like fan fiction casting it for years.

Like Michael B. Jordan.

Oh yeah, people wanted Michael B. Jordan. Um, they wanted Anya Taylor-Joy as Violet because like she's really little.

I wanted Olivia Jade.

Great casting. Um, we haven't had casting news. People are just like, this is very highly anticipated and people have been like for years just making it up.

Like, I just wanna like sound the alarm that this is taking a while. Um,

it's never a good sign.

This is like years long. We are just getting casting news. We don't have like a release date or anything. And it's gonna be something that's gonna be like massive to produce. Mm-hmm. Um, you guys might wanna get on that.

Yeah. Although I think like the books are still being written, right? The 3rd or 4th one, it's not over. Like, yeah, so it's still like alive.

Yeah.

You know?

And then what are your thoughts on ACOTAR?

ACOTAR?

A Court of Thorns and Roses.

I never read it, and obviously that's shocking to people because it's like this like really popular erotic fantasy, like a series. The one time I went to read it, I just read the synopsis and I was like, this is bestiality. And I wasn't really into that. Obviously I'm not kink-shaming anyone, but like, I think having sex with animals is weird. Now it's like, yeah, but the animal's like really a prince or whatever.

Like, I mean, then Beauty and the Beast. Yeah. And that's your favorite movie. I

don't think they kissed till the end,

but she was falling in love with an animal.

Bestiality is just about sex. It's not about love.

Oh, interesting.

I think I just remember being like,

I heard that distinction.

I, I just remember thinking like, I'd have to sort of shift around some of my morals to read this book. Now I'm sure if I were to read it, Claudia, it's not like that. But again, I'm not into fantasy, I'm really not.

Yeah, I read half of ACOTAR, I didn't like it, so not for me.

Yeah, I don't really like magical realism either. I don't like spookiness. I just like books that it could happen in real life.

She's so real.

Fake fiancé, you know?

So real. Are you ready for our 4th story?

Yeah.

New list has dropped. The Creator A-List, the 25 influencers who matter most to Hollywood, from The Hollywood Reporter.

You know, actually, I was on this list last year, not to be honest.

Were you?

Creator A-List, Hollywood Reporter. Yeah.

Of the 25?

Well, I'm thinking that it was a much larger list last year.

And it was 25 influencers who matter most to Hollywood.

Creator A-List. That's all I know. I was on it last year.

It was about the, the creator to Hollywood pipeline, is this.

And you know what? I wish they didn't make everything a list because I hear what they're saying. This is actually a conversation worth having. I think it's like, these are the types of people that are putting Hollywood on its ass. I think it's people who are stealing focus from Jimmy Fallon, like people who are actually making an impact in press and in media. Like, it's just being like top list. No, these people are actually doing like big things.

No, but I don't even think it's like they're threat— that Hollywood is threatened by them. I think it's really that Hollywood has absorbed them.

No, they've like become a part of that.

are the 25.

And I think they nailed it with the exception of a few.

With the exception of a few, but I also don't know everyone, so it's like, yeah, I can say I don't know this person, but even just the way they describe them, like, how does that relate to Hollywood? Of course, Alix Earle. I mean, she literally has a reality show on Netflix, so yeah, she's part of Hollywood. Of course. Um, Amelia Dimeldenberg, Chicken Chop. Chicken Chop.

I feel like the Chicken Chop era of like it being really impactful is kind of over, and it is ending or has just ended. Um, I actually feel like she's always on lists, but if we're whittling it down to 25 of this year, I wouldn't put her on my list. I would say compared

to the other people on this list, actually, she is perfectly suitable for this list.

Well, she is being absorbed by Hollywood.

And she is a part of Hollywood. She's on every red carpet. I always just like see her doing like interviews. She's gonna be in some movie at Amazon MGM Studios. Like, she's a part of Hollywood now, so I would say check. Okay. Uh, Benito Skinner.

Absolutely.

He's a— has a show on Prime Video.

Benny Drama.

Benny Drama. He has a show on Prime Video. Yeah, he's, he's a Hollywood guy. Yeah. Um, Brittany Broski.

She has the Royal Court.

Which is like a place people go to.

Harry Styles promotes.

Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway.

It's a big thing.

Yeah, yeah, it's like a Hot Ones, so to speak. And Hot Ones—

Sean Evans is on. And that is,

of course,

Keke Palmer's boyfriend.

Bri Morales.

I didn't know her.

I don't know her either.

Um, you read her like bio?

Yeah, she launched her Bri So For Real show on Instagram and TikTok, an interview series where she asks guests to tell their personal lore. Um, she also gained fame as the host of Now This Is Are You Okay show.

Oh, oh, I know that. They're like a TikTok man on the street show.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you know what I've noticed? There's a lot of TikTok man on the street shows that are launching. I mean, there's a million, but there's a lot that are like, so-and-so's on Bratata. Yeah. And you go to Bratata and it's a completely new page. The show has like no lore. Oh yeah. They're just like incubating these shows.

It's like channels. It's like a totally, um, like nameless and faceless thing. All these clips go viral and it's

just about the clips. It's not even about the show because the show's not real yet.

I feel that like the one show that has done it well is What's Poppin' with Davis, the blonde guy who goes to Washington Square Park.

I don't know him.

It was like one of the original ones, and I think that a lot of people now copy, and like people know him from that. But for the rest of it, it's like, who's this host? What's this show? It's just like a thing.

And it's just because they're standing on there with like mini mics and they're saying, you're on Bratata. I'm like, oh, I didn't know Bratata. Right. But there is no Bratata.

Yeah.

That's what I'm noticing. Yeah. They're sort of like shell— The show's like that. They're sort of shell companies.

Yes, yes, absolutely.

I love it. It's not really about, well, did you see who's on Bratata this week?

Right, or like a full episode. No, it's just a clip.

Yeah, yeah. Charli D'Amelio. Where is Charli?

She's kind of slowly coming back to namesake, of course. But no, she's been doing interviews talking about her parents, you know. She didn't outright say like her parents stole from us. She was just like, yeah, like we—

But she's like doing her own thing, you know?

She should. I think that she's like properly healing. And I think, I mean, if you watched season 1 of the D'Amelio Show, you know, like, Like, I think she hated being TikTok famous. I think she hated that whole era, like that whole COVID. Like, yeah, I think it was terrible for her, and she's in the process of healing now.

Colin and Samir?

I don't know them.

They're creators who cater to other creators. They host a video series breaking down the influencer economy and offering industry analysis. And this year they hosted a sold-out summit on the Fox lot dedicated to the intersection of creators in Hollywood.

Okay.

They're also starting to set up their own EP business. with still secretive projects in development with both Lionsgate and A24. So yeah, that sounds like premature because they, they haven't launched. They hosted one summit.

Yeah, no, I don't know them at all.

Dhar Mann, you're always talking about him.

Dhar Mann, that's my king right there.

Gabbie Windy.

Oh, that's so funny. I just don't think of her as a creator.

Yes, but also I think she's now going into like, uh, movies and TV. She's, um, appearing in an A24 comedy. Um, so I think she's actually She's like actually getting into Hollywood. It's not like Hollywood's coming to her, it's like she's going to Hollywood.

Yeah, she's being absorbed.

Yeah, they— people love her.

She's got pizzazz.

Yeah, she really does. Grace Ryder.

Oh, I told you, she's the TikTok comedian who's now on SNL.

Okay, but there's another one.

Skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny.

But there's another one who's also on SNL. Veronica?

Oh, I don't know her, but she's like— people— she's the pride of TikTok. She's like Gen Z comedy, and she's that voice behind that viral audio. Bring back a dead relative or skinny? Skinny!

Oh, that's funny. Veronica, do you know her?

No, I don't.

She's on SNL. She's now on her second season. She's a creator. I remember when she got cast as like the creator going-to.

Interesting. Well, Grace has had a real positive impact.

Oh, great. Then we have Jack Coyne.

Let me see him.

His show is called Track Star.

I don't know him. Oh, is that where he has people guess the songs they're listening to?

Yeah, if you stop to listen to a track and can name the artist, you won $5.

Luke Combs did it, and then he has like celebrities on it.

And like, what about the Confidence guy? Who's that?

Yeah, right, the Confidence guy. There are a lot of like sort of ambiguous shows, so like for him to have made the list is kind of a big deal.

Yes, and also like the ones that we know, like The Confidence, this guy, Show

Me Your Apartment, that Caleb guy,

Subway Takes.

Yeah, he's on there.

He's on here? Okay. Then we have Jake Shane, of course. He is the industry guy. He is Hollywood. He is— he runs Hollywood.

As he motherfucking should. That's why Hollywood's doing so well.

Jena Craig.

From

Love

Island.

Jena, I tried again. Um, and she's gonna be on Traitors, so it's like, you know, someone who's really made the jump, and I think that she has. Jordan Woods. Well, she's Hollywood first, then creator, then back to Hollywood.

Agreed, doesn't count. Sorry, I love you more than anything and you're on my list, but you're not a creator.

Yeah, you're— that's not what this is.

That's not what Rome was about.

Julian Shapiro-Barnum. Let me see. What a name.

Never, literally never heard of him.

Shapiro Barnum. I love.

Your 2 favorite things.

Is he related to P.T.? He was in P.T. Which is my sister.

Well, of course. What does he do?

What started as a heartwarming web series about a 20-something guy interviewing elementary school children for life advice has now evolved into a sought-after press stop, like doing a guest role on Sesame Street. He still hosts Recess Therapy. That's the show he did. And he's expanded into celebrity substitutes, I guess he does a lot of like teacher-y themed shows.

Cute. I've never heard of it, but you know what? That doesn't mean you're not eligible for the list. Like I have a very niche, like unless you're like doing ASMR, like maybe I haven't heard of you, you know?

Yeah. Recess Therapy. You haven't heard of it?

No. Cute name.

Me neither. Kareem Rama Subway Takes. Subway Takes. Yep. That's another stop.

And that's one that I think like has elevated from just like a random man on the street show to like a show I recognize.

And like, did you see who's on this week? And like, oh, okay, so if you're Matt Damon and you're in a movie, you're going on Subway Takes.

Yeah, he's done a really good job.

Yeah. Mina Lee. She became known for posting thoughtful and researched commentary on both newly released and upcoming movies and TV shows, like her deep dive on Blondes in the wake of FX's Love Story.

Let me see her.

I just feel like if you're referencing one video that was posted, it's not— Agreed.

And there is somebody on there who does a lot of cinema content, Rhys. You've definitely seen him. Um, 'cause I feel like they do have to hit— you can't just do like people who do pop culture. Like you have to do a bunch of different genres and categories and And I feel like they kind of got the whole cinema thing covered.

She's quickly becoming Hollywood's right-hand woman for marketing campaigns and has paid partnerships ranging from Apple TV, HBO, and Netflix to MUBI and YouTube's Oscars programming. A role in a yet-to-be-announced major series is next. Okay, industry plant.

Oh wow, okay.

She had one viral video, she had a couple brand partnerships.

And she has something coming out.

She has a couple brand partners, like she did sponsored posts for a couple of like

brands,

tech companies. and she has something yet to be announced.

Agreed.

That's not one of 25. I agree. I'm so sorry, Tamina. Noah Beck.

Also, I'm sorry, not eligible for this list. I guess what makes him eligible is that he's in Baywatch.

Oh yeah, that's creator to Hollywood pipeline.

But I'm sorry, that doesn't make you the top 25.

No, it doesn't. I forgot he's gonna be in that.

And I like him, but like, I don't think that he's worthy of the list. Sorry if I'm being a bitch.

And what about Dixie?

And what about Dixie?

I'm still there. Yeah. Um, agreed. Yeah, if we're just talking about like creators, who have gone on to act.

Sure, Noah Beck. But if we're talking about the top 25—

And where's Delaney?

Where is Delaney? Although what I like about Delaney and why I think she is so successful is she doesn't move from her beat. Like, she's gotten really successful, she's dated, you know, all these guys, she still makes her crazy-ass videos. Like, I think so many times—

Her videos are so funny.

They're so good. I think a lot of times people get famous or popular off of a thing, so they go and do movies and tour, and it's like, well, what about the thing that we liked? Like, can we keep doing that? And I think Delaney, she still is consistently posting X amount of times per week. Her shit is so funny. And yeah, she does do these like opportunities, but she doesn't stray from the thing that made her famous. And I actually really like that about her. But maybe that's why she's not on the list, 'cause is she doing a lot of Hollywood type things?

I don't know. Starring in movies? I just like think, I feel like things are happening for her like in back rooms. She's so talented. You know what I mean?

I hope they're talking about Delaney in back rooms.

I feel like everybody wants to work with her and like put them in their A24.

1,000%.

You know what I mean? Why shouldn't she be in A24?

You agree?

Quenlin Blackwell. Classic. Uh, she is a creator and she, um,

she was just on the first season of,

um, I Love LA.

Thank you.

Mhm, mhm. And I, I know her from the D'Amelios.

Of course.

That's how, that's how I was introduced to her, an original Viner.

She, um, I know her from Vine. I also know where she had like this whole shtick with Diplo. Like, I know her.

Yeah. Rhys Feldman.

That's who I was talking about. He does a lot of like, he's very—

Oh, I thought it was going to be a woman.

No, he is like, um, who cinema has chosen as their influencer. Like, he does Oscar— very highbrow. He was on set of, um—

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He was a PA.

No, he was— thank you— of The Odyssey, um, with Christopher Nolan, like, document—

That's crazy.

About the whole— well, they use those special cameras, 70mm. Like, he is very, like, fancy, highbrow cinema.

Yes, he's under his guise of guy with a movie camera. He's been hired by studios and streamers to help promote their projects with his particular brand of BTS So

when you were talking about that girl Mina, like, he's doing

that. Yeah, but it sounds like she's doing reviews.

He reviews, he does it all. He does red carpet, he does press junkets, he does reviews, he does behind— like, he just does.

Yeah. Sean Evans, of course. Hot Ones is like— is the new late night. Tiff Beira.

Let me see. No, I don't know her. What does she do?

So she's the self-coined Cupid of New York. She's been making videos about dating in the Big Apple. She started by sharing her own horror stories and now hosts several viral dating-centric series.

Oh, was that where they said at the table.

Take Me Out and Street Hearts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, she sets up like a table in the middle of the street and like grabs 2 people and is like, go on a date. It's cute, actually. I like it.

Oh, that's cute. I love that because we need more romance.

Agreed. No, and it's just people talking like really honestly about dating, and it's like, it's really good.

Okay. Veronica Slawikowska, she is the one who is a creator who's now on SNL. So yeah.

Oh,

okay. Check. Ziwe is the 5th— is the 25th.

Is she a creator?

Yeah, and

she got her own TV show. Like, I feel like, I feel like you get your own TV show and then become a creator. Like, no, it's the opposite.

Yeah, but did she get her own TV show because she was a creator?

I have no idea. What came first? To me, like, she came to me and the first time I saw her, she had her own TV show.

Interesting.

You know what I mean?

That show was a TV show?

It's on Showtime, I think.

Yeah, okay. It's called, um, You'd Be an Iconic Guest.

Yeah, she actually was on Watch What Happens Live because she recently shared like a blurred out video of somebody getting up and leaving in the middle of her interview, and Andy was like trying to get her to say who it was, and she said she really won't say it. But then she said something that people think was a clue about it being Will Smith. Yeah, she like quoted one of his like,

I don't think he

would get— lead with kindness.

I don't think he would because he's in a repair sort of stage. So—

People also thought that just given like the size of the person that they blurred, it could have just been like a distortion, but it looked like a, like an overweight person. People are just guessing based on this fat

shaming. Did they have guesses? Were they, were they naming this overweight individual?

No, no, people were just like, looks like a fatty. Like, I'm just like, they were just kind of— we didn't get a lot. Like, the voice was muffled.

Nightmare.

Yeah, it was me.

So a lot of people are obsessed with Old Navy's denim. And I have to tell you, I went on a denim journey a couple of years ago and people were like, 'cause I don't know, I'm like, what do I need? Bootcut, high-rise? I didn't wear jeans for like a huge part of my life. And people were like, go to Old Navy because one, they have so many styles, so many sizes, and the price is so good. So you really need to try, when you're finding your denim style, you need to try like 10 pairs. You need to own 10 pairs before you can really decide. And I think a great place to experiment with denim is Old Navy because one, they have so many good styles and two, the price is so good. So their Wow Denim is a perfect excuse to try something new this fall.

Styles start at just $22. There's something for everyone. They've got extra high-rise wide leg to an arc jean, a low-rise baggy, a low-rise loose, and more. You can say yes to a new fit without overthinking it. And the thing about having jeans is being like a girl who wears jeans, like you need multiple styles. Some jeans are like a couple hundred dollars and I need multiple? I don't think so. Styles starting at just $22, that really works for me. You can discover all the jeans you love in a range of sizes, colors, and washes at jaw-dropping prices starting, like I said, at just $22. You can shop all the Old Navy Wow Denim at oldnavy.com.

Thank you, Dot Turt.

You're welcome.

Dot Turt. Our 5th and final story, Kim Kardashian's intimate 40th 46th birthday bash includes sisters, Rob Kardashian, and she is debuting a new look.

I loved to see my boy Rob.

So Kim seemed to scale down the festi— festivities this year. She had an intimate dinner that was of course beautiful, but you know, for her 40th birthday she took everyone to an island and chartered like Air Kim 737. So this is pared down.

Um, we love that. Very Bradley.

We've seen a couple of glimpses on social media. All the sisters, Rob, Kim.

Was Kendall there? I feel like that's the only one I didn't see.

I thought I saw her.

I saw Kylie, I saw Kourtney, I saw Kim, I saw Kris, of course.

Yes, and Rob, of course. That's what everyone's talking about. Rob was there.

He looked so good. He looked so happy. I love Rob. I wish him the best, like truly. I don't really care about Kim's birthday, but I do think it's interesting that she's 46.

That's what I was gonna say. I wanted to talk about her age. Because she is incredible.

I don't think she like leads with her age, 'cause she's obviously like in Hollywood.

She does lead with the fact that she's in her 40s and she loves her 40s.

But 45 and 46 are very different, 'cause 46, like you're almost 50.

Yeah.

And the concept of Kim Kardashian being 50 in 4 years, like—

And the fact that like our sexiest woman alive, like really, you know, if you polled the universe, every, like Kim Kardashian is the most beautiful, sexy, like sex symbol. Right, hottest woman. And that she's 46. closer to 50 than to 40 is so great.

It is. And the Kardashians in general, I think they became really, really famous like later on than people think. And they've always looked great and like maintained, you know, their physiques and plastic surgery and everything. But by the time they were like truly, truly, truly famous, Kourtney, who's the oldest, was like almost 40. So it's just like a little delayed in my mind because I'll— they'll always be like 32 to me. But yeah, it's kind of awesome.

It is awesome. I think it's like just very inspiring.

And that means like Kris is in her 70s. Yeah. She doesn't give 70. She doesn't give grandma.

No. And it just goes to show your best years can be ahead of you.

It's so true. It's very inspiring.

And I think it's really like great. It's not just like, oh, once you're not in your 20s, like—

Right, you're over.

You're expired.

No, they like set the trends. They set the standard.

And we know she kills herself to look young and look amazing. She like gets up at 5 AM, works out. She said she would eat her own doodie if it would make her look younger. She said that.

I just want to say, I wouldn't.

No, I wouldn't either, which is why she gets to look like that at 46.

But I'm not obsessed with looking young. I am obsessed with looking thin. And if they said, seriously, if you had to eat your own poop once a month to maintain a perfect physique without having to try, you know what? I just might. Honestly.

You won't even eat a piece of broccoli.

It's pretty much the same thing though. Like—

You won't eat anything. And I— Like, I eat pretty much like whatever. I'm not like super picky. I'm not super adventurous. So

are you saying you wouldn't?

And I'm saying I wouldn't. I'm saying I wouldn't.

I probably wouldn't end up doing it, but I would definitely think about it, if I'm being honest.

Maybe drink your own pee, you know?

Oh please, that's easy.

Yeah, that's recommended.

Urine's sterile and I like the taste.

Yeah, like that, but eating your doodie will make you sick.

Oh, well maybe that's how you're maintaining your physique.

Right, like it's not without consequence.

What about like a spoonful?

Wait, still, like E. coli.

1,000%.

I know, but Kim is saying she would, like no questions asked. And that's why she gets to look at this like this at 46, because she has devoted her life to looking well. But I also think it's like, not everyone should do that. Not everyone can do that. And so it's not like, oh, we all need to be like Kim and, and look like this at 46. But it's just nice to know that it's possible.

But I also think there are 2 methods, cuz when I think of like someone who like does everything to to stay young and healthy. I think of like Gwyneth Paltrow, but she does it from like a very organic, I'm sure she gets Botox or whatever, but she looks amazing for her age. She doesn't look 32. It's like we'd all be lucky to look like her in our 50s. Kim doesn't look her age.

I think actually a more, a closer comparison would be Kim and Kourtney.

Yeah, but Kourtney was doing a lot of that stuff up until the last 3 years.

Yeah, but now Kourtney has decided, like she lives very well. She's embracing. She's embracing, she's not toxic. She hasn't had Botox in years. She eats what she wants. She's still breastfeeding. Mm-hmm. So she's not doing anything

toxic.

Toxic. No injectables, no nothing.

Crazy that she's still breastfeeding. Like,

and she looks amazing too. Yeah. So I think that also speaks to like living well.

Yes. Armenian genes perhaps.

Yeah. I, are Armenian genes known to be great for—

The only example I have is a Kardashian.

Great for eternal youth.

I guess we'll have to go to Armenia to find out and see how all the women are looking over there.

Yeah. Nice Armenian woman. Nice Armenian woman. It's great for Armenia as well.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, I think Kim has always been great for Armenia.

It's true, it's true. Huge ally.

Yeah, for sure. Like, they should make her president.

1,000%.

Um, so happy birthday, Kim, and like, keep on inspiring all of us.

New look. She was wearing like a headpiece. Like, sure, whatever. I'm so glad we're just like doing something different.

Me too, me too. And, and like, let's keep trying different things and, and we'll find what's right. Like, yeah, I don't know that like the conservative woman was right for her.

Right, right, with the bob.

I don't know what I would call this look. look without being like culturally—

I would call it like the culturally insensitive look. Sure, like seriously, just try culturally

ambiguous.

Yeah, because what culture is she even mocking? I'm not sure. Imitating. Imitating?

Appreciating? Appropriating?

Let's step into Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment that now apparently airs on Thursdays. Every Thursday, Jackie and I take 3 submissions from our community. We try to help you guys out when you find yourself in a little bit of a pickle. You can email us if you have a problem them, deartoasters@gmail.com, or, uh, our website, thetoastpodcast.com. That will give you access to our inbox, and we'll choose 3. And if you've written in recently and you have an update for us, we would love to hear from you as well. Hi guys, my husband and I recently went to a Tim McGraw concert. We took some cute photos. Later that night, I got a notification from ChatGPT saying your photo is ready. Confused, I clicked on it and discovered that my husband had uploaded our picture and asked ChatGPT to edit the photo to, quote, make my wife's arms smaller and belly For context, I'm 28, I'm 6 months postpartum with our third baby, and I'm only £5 away from my pre-pregnancy weight gain. I'm a size 4. When I confronted him, he said he was just trying to make the picture something I would like because I've been vocal about being insecure about my postpartum stomach.

And he mentioned— and I had even mentioned about my arm looking bigger in that picture. But to me, instead of reassuring me that I looked beautiful, he basically confirmed my insecurities. I literally told him, how am I supposed to feel confident in my body if you're changing it to something that I'm not. He swears he was not editing me because he thought I needed to look thinner, but because he thought it would make me happy. So am I being overly sensitive, or would you be personally victimized by your husband giving you an unsolicited AI tummy tuck? Was this a well-intentioned husband completely missing the mark, or do I have every right to be upset?

Okay, you have every right to be upset. And like, seriously, the worst things crossed my mind when I heard what happened. But there is a world in which you just have the world's dumbest husband.

Yeah, I think it could be a well-intentioned husband completely missing And you have every right to be upset.

Yes. Like, I think that he took the picture— he, like, you guys want, like, everyone wants, like, couple pictures, especially if you, like, want to post a picture, whatever. I think he probably really liked the picture. Maybe you don't get pictures often, and he knew that you did— you've mentioned about your arms— he knew that you wouldn't like the picture. And so he wanted to make a picture that you would like and think you would be excited to post. I think he thought he was doing something nice.

I could see, like, a dumb husband thinking that's a good idea. Yeah,

I could see a dumb husband doing that. So I think he's just a dumb husband, not like, I wanna Yeah,

and also, like, I just wanna kill myself when I hear that you're 28, 6 months postpartum from a 3rd baby, only £5 away from your pre-pregnancy weight gain and a size 4. Like,

what, what tummy? What arms?

Yeah, like, you need— like, not that it's about you, like, I don't— but you really need to be, like, kinder to yourself.

Yeah.

And what you've just described is a feat.

Is perfection.

What you've just described, like, a man could fucking never, ever.

No, no. I could never. Never. It actually like defies physics.

Yeah. Like you're like, you having insecurities defies logic.

And like, maybe not to like put it on her, but like, it sounds like if that's the truth, if that you're £5 away from your starting baby weight and you've had 3 kids, like you're there, you look amazing.

Correct. What is £5? £5 is lunch.

And so like the fact that you're even mentioning those £5 or that you mentioned to your husband about your arm or your belly, like I, I, you might be talking about it more than you think because these aren't, that's not real.

No, this is not a thing.

So I feel like maybe he's really just responding to like how much you're—

To your psychosis.

Like focusing on it. Yeah. Because like, I'm sorry, if I hit £5, I'm there.

You're there.

You're never gonna hear me talk about it.

You could literally wake up £5 heavier from one day to the next, just like having one good day.

I could just do a juice cleanse one day and I, I'm at the weight.

Yeah. I'm gonna give your husband the benefit of the doubt here and just assume like he was really, um, just trying to make you happy.

Um, why do you guys share a ChatGPT account?

That just seems inconvenient because your chat operates best when they know you. And does your chat know that they're talking to 2 separate people?

I don't know. And like, ChatGPT is deeply private.

Not for me.

I agree, not for me. Like, I'm just like asking it to style my shelves and like—

I'm asking like, what is this rash on Ruby's leg? Of course.

But people do— like, I think chat knows a lot about—

A lot of people use it as like therapy.

And so— no, not even just therapy, but like work stuff. How do I write this email? They wind up seeing— they see a lot of stuff. I think it is very private. Like, let me look at my recent prompts, like if there's anything.

I'm scared of my recent prompts. Let's see.

I don't think there's anything, but I'm sure there is.

Muffin feeding success. Me and Chad are making recipes for Ruby.

That's so, um, beautiful.

Say So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars pros.

Oh yeah, mine is like Oscar songs predictions. Window treatments.

Yeah.

Preparing meatballs ahead.

Right.

Yeah, nothing deeply personal, but I think for other people it can be.

I think that you can either choose to harp on this or just move on with your life. I would move on. I would assume your husband's like really, like, in a dumb way trying to do something nice.

Balancing lemon juice.

And stop talking about your weight because—

Yeah, and you did it. You're done.

Yeah, you're done. Congrats. Let's have a donut.

That's really exciting, but I could understand that was devastating.

I mean, of course, to open up, make my wife's arm thicker, belly smaller.

But you're skinny, so like, you're skinny and men don't see £5. That's the thing. Especially like, if that's your husband, you've had 3 babies together, he loves you. Like, he actually thinks you look amazing. He just wants to post a picture with you and he knows that if your arm looks better, you'll post it.

It is in its own way.

He just like loves you so much. I don't think he wants a skinnier wife with a smaller arm.

Dear swirly Golden Globe nominees, please help me. I'm engaged to a wonderful man who I love so much, blah blah blah. I just love men. life. But he comes from like a fart shame household, and I come from a fart pride household.

Fart positive.

Fart positive. I've been with him for 2 and a half years. We're getting married in 2 months. I've never audibly farted in front of him. I let one slide once, and I blame the dog. My family's adamant that it's not true love if I can't fart in front of him, and I cannot physically bring myself to do so. Now it feels like we're in too deep. I think we should have waited to have kids to open the fart gates. Do you think I should fart, or should I just convert to a fart shame way of living?

Um, I'm fine with being fart negative.

Yeah, I know.

I don't think it's something you need to be like loud and proud about. I think like naturally this will solve itself when you have kids, when you're pregnant, when you give birth, like when you're postpartum, like all those things sort of wash away. Cuz I, you know, I made myself sick once because I wouldn't—

You took yourself to the hospital.

When I was early dating Zach because I would not go to the bathroom at his place. And I was at his place 24/7 and I got such bad stomach pains that I had to go to the hospital. So like,

don't do that.

Don't do that. And so you can continue to operate as you have and you don't have to think about it too hard. Because these problems will solve themselves.

Yeah, I think, um, sometimes it's nice to keep a little mystery. Now, at some point in your life, like when you're having kids and giving birth, like there, there's no mystery to be had. So in the meantime, while you're not even married yet, just engaged, like—

And it's not like a problem, it's not causing you stomach issues, it's not like you're like suffering. I think it's fine. And I think it's not everybody has to like be like that. And I'm still—

Because you grew up a certain way doesn't mean you have to be a certain way like that in your, in your adult life.

Yeah, but I'm still like the way that I am.

Yes, yes.

And we grew up like— I'm not like struggling.

I would say we grew up fart positive, just like as all girls. Like, we all shared a bathroom. Like, we weren't—

I think it's very individualistic. It's not even about your family.

But yeah, you ended up not like that at all.

Yeah,

being you. Exactly.

So I think it's—

how do you feel? Don't listen about your family. Who—

don't worry about what your family thinks. Don't worry about your husband.

What does your family think about farting? Like—

Yeah, don't— and don't worry about— it's really just how you feel. Like, if you don't want to be the sort of person that like like is a public farter. Like, you don't have to be that way.

Our third and final Dear Toasters—

Also, some people like physically have different bowel capabilities, you know, in terms of what they're able to keep in control.

Yeah, yeah, it's so true.

Some of us are stronger

and some of us are not. Our third and final Dear Toasters might ruffle the feathers of a certain, um, field.

Nurses?

No, no, I would— I would never start with nurses or teachers. And you guys know a couple weeks ago I said something about therapists purpose, and people were not upset— were not happy with me. And I just feel like half of you weren't listening. But no, today we're attacking the life coaches. Hi, Swirlies! I'm a daily listener here. Thanks for being my favorite hour of the day. So I'm in a bit of a predicament. My boyfriend of 3 years wants to start seeing a life coach, which I'm totally supportive of, but the context is that I'm in my late 20s, he's in his mid-30s, we're planning on getting engaged next year, we're trying to be fiscally responsible and safe for our future. So imagine my shock when I found out that this life coach wants $1,000 per 1-hour sessions for 12 sessions paid entirely upfront. Oh no. So yeah, $12,000 off the bat. Anyway, I've tried suggesting that he get other quotes, look into different options, but he's just not listening. And honestly, I'm totally freaking out. $12,000 could really go towards a new car, paying off my student loan, saving for a new house.

I'm all for him investing in his mental health, but is this a normal price or is he getting scammed?

Okay. I'm, I feel so conflicted about so many things. That's way too much to spend. On the other hand, you don't want a cheap life coach, right?

Oh, I'm sorry, that's big of you. I don't think you want a life coach.

Well, here's what I feel. I think a life coach is a great idea. I think there are people that would benefit immensely from like a great life coach.

Someone to coach them through life.

Yeah, like sometimes you need to call in the life coach, right?

Oh, I'm so surprised to hear you say that. I'm very skeptical.

I don't think there are

a lot of

quality life coaches out there.

I think 9 times out of 10, the life coach that you're finding thing is a financial scam.

Yeah. I've never heard of someone having a great experience with— I've actually never heard of someone going to a life coach, but I, I like the idea of it because I do think like sometimes you could get to a place where you need a life coach. It's not just like therapy. It's like, I need an infusion.

I hear you.

And redirection. I need someone to coach me in my life. Like, I think it's a good idea. I've never heard of it executed well.

In practice, I think it's a scam. And I think a lot of times when I hear someone's a life coach, I'm like, but your life Who the fuck is a life coach?

Well, and like, what qualifies you to be a life coach? And if you are a very qualified life coach, like say like a Mel Robbins, well, yeah, I can't get an appointment with you. Yeah,

of course. Of course. So I too worry that your husband and having to pay upfront, like life coach is so personal, right? Like I would do one session and know if it's right for me or not. So it's like the fact that this person is requiring your husband, fiancé, boyfriend, whatever, to pay— your husband is currently the victim of a grift.

You should also, he should insist on having like one session to see how it is at least. least, maybe even if you're— if it's your money too, that like you go and meet this person too.

Sorry, now that— $1,000 a session, that's an insane price.

That's more than any therapy. Beyond more.

Like the best therapist in the world is like max, what, like $500 an hour?

That's insane.

That's insane. I'm sorry, this is grift, period. I wouldn't even recommend he go to one session. Like, we have to find— I'm sorry, I, I'm very skeptical of life coaches, period. So like, I wouldn't even want to indulge this. If Ben said I want to see a life coach, I would seriously say No, like, I'm sorry, let's go to therapy. Let's do something else. Let's go for a walk. Like, literally.

You're therapy over life coach?

Of course, of course. At least a therapist, like, had to go to school and learn things about how to help the human brain. But what did a life coach do to get here?

Maybe they went to the school of hard knocks.

Maybe. Or maybe went to the school of scam.org. And I'm not here— No,

it's, it's ripe for scamming. But I'm just saying, as an idea, I think it's like a good— I just like, I, I wish we could get great life coaches out there.

Yes. Conceptually, the person who came up with, like, the first life coach ever, I don't think was malintended. Mm-hmm. Conceptually, yeah. There is a difference between needing a therapist and just needing somebody to help you get your life in order. Kind of like an AI assistant almost.

Um, like a motivator. You know, I hear you. I hear you. Someone talks sense into you.

But, but with human nature, like, I don't, I, I can't, I'm sure that there are life coaches listening to this who are like good intentions, but like, I don't know. I'm skeptical, to say the least.

I'm very skeptical, but I understand the desire.

So when it comes to what to do with your boyfriend, I'm like a hard no here. Like, I don't mess around with $12,000.

No, not for that price. Not for that price period.

You should tell him, like, why would a life— just use logic. Like, why would one session with a life coach be more than one session with the world's leading therapist?

I mean, like, do they take you out and stuff? Like, is it more than just the hour? Like, do they take you shopping for new clothes? Is it like Queer Eye?

It's not like

They're gonna come and teach you how to cook?

What's the lady with the gray streak? The show that they had when they would like come and take— makeover your whole life. Who, What, Where? Something like that. No, it's not that. It's not a TV show.

It's just an hour in the office.

I think so.

Nobody should be charging you.

Maybe Zoom. Oh my God, if it's Zoom.

Just burn your money. Just give it to me so I can buy my books.

Just give it to me. Full price. I'll give it to you. I'll take good care of it. That's Dear Toasters. Thank you to everybody who wrote in, and that is our show. Hope you guys have an amazing time.
