Transcript of England Bans Catholicism: Tuesday, January 14th, 2025

Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to the Toast, and happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a gorgeous, glorious day. And speaking of gorgeous, glorious, it's my gorgeous, glorious friend and sister in Christ, Jackie O.

L. Thank you, Lauter. What a beautiful introduction. Happy Tuesday to all who celebrate the day of the twos.

Are there those who don't?

I feel like there are those who don't. Do you think there are people who live off the like, who because days kind of the week are kind of like a social construct very much so. Are there people Right. Don't adhere to the days of the week? Days of the week For sure.

I mean, there are people who, like, don't adhere to, like, a lot of random things. You know? So days of the week Sure.

And just like there are other, like, calendars in other cultures, like, maybe today isn't Tuesday for everyone.

Well, actually think of that. It's not. In in Israel, it's Yom Shlishi.

Oh, well, they're also a day forward. Yeah.

And they only take off Sunday. So, yeah, it's Yom Shlishi in in Israel. So, yeah, I guess not everyone is dealing, like, with the exact time space continuum that we are currently dealing with. But I feel to the major constituents who listen to this show, who live in America and abide by the calendar, yes. Yes.

They are.

Just wanna say, you don't wanna leave anyone out, Claude.

So I've kinda put my foot in it this morning. I don't know if I I totally forgot to tell you this.

Already? Yeah. It's so early.

Well, I had to wake up early. I had some content to film, and I was just, like, getting a head start on my day. And I was just, like, getting a head start on my day. And I was eating breakfast, and then this thought came to me because I'm, like, getting really tired of these pregnant bitches coming for my neck. And I just told I, like, I told them what they needed to hear.

And, actually, you are in what would be, like, the injured party because you have been pregnant with a toddler. Like, I'm just so tired of, like, I'm making, like I'm always, like, talking about my pregnancy because, like, that's what I'm dealing with. And people being, like, just imagine doing this with a toddler. It's, like, we we get it. We know we know it's harder.

No 1 is arguing with you. We feel bad for you. Like, literally, we would never wanna be you. Like, we get it. But, like, it's so annoying to infringe on someone else's suffering, like, because you are suffering more.

We get it. So I made a TikTok this morning.

So crazy. And, technically, I'm, in injured party, but I would never say that to you, let alone think that. Like No. It's also for like Olympics. It is, but, also, like, as you have children, like, your level of what you can withstand just, like, grows.

You just become, like, stronger inside and out. And in some ways, like, doing it the first time is the hardest, so I'm not with those people, and I would never say that to you.

Dude, it's just like no one's really even arguing the point. It's definitely harder to have to, like, chase around a toddler, and you can't just, like, rot in bed when you don't feel good. Like, I get it, but it's so fucking annoying to say. And, like, I'm tired of these bitches. And, like, it did cross my mind when I, like, first started feeling sick.

I'm, like, oh my god. Like, this is probably, like, you know, the only pregnancy that I'm gonna have without a child. Like, oh my god. And so we all we feel bad. Like, we get it.

We're not disagreeing with you, but, like, it's annoying. Shut up. So I made a TikTok about it today.

Didn't know they were coming for you. That's really crazy.

No. It's just this thing that, like, pregnant in chronic the chronically online pregnant community. Like, it's every comment section. Just wait till you have a toddler running around. Just wait till you're chasing after a tub.

Like, I know. It sounds literally horrible. So

I guess I also, like, can't really speak to it because I was on bed rest.

Yeah. Slay. Life hack. Slay. Oh.

Life hack. Then I was thinking about you because I feel like when you got pregnant was around the time, like Harry wasn't, like, a toddler yet. He was not, like, walking, was he?

No. He was not walking.

Right. So that's, like, seriously not your problem. It's a problem of the person who's carrying him, and because you're pregnant, you can't physically carry him. That's the life hack. Get pregnant while your first is still crawling.

Yeah. That's something, but then you always do have to carry them, but then at a certain point, I couldn't carry him. Right. So I just, like, was starting

stuff before TikTok gets banned, like, wanna, you know, make waves and and start stuff.

Oh, yeah. Countdown to TikTok. Do you hear the rumors that Elon might buy TikTok? But then I also but it's more hear that anywhere. Oh, I heard light whispers that, like, Elon is gonna buy TikTok or thinking about it, and then I also saw that that is not true.

So I don't know Control zing. Like, if if that's true whatsoever.

I have now seen a couple, like, very wealthy people discuss it. Kevin O'Leary, allegedly, Elon Musk. Mister Beast was talking about it. Like, what if they all just work together? Yeah.

I would like that.

Thing is and I heard this at the Supreme Court hearing is, like, even if somebody buys it, the data center, like, something about, like, the actual technology of the company cannot be unlinked from BYTE, which is the Chinese owned company. And, like, therein lies the issue. They, like, almost can't even sell it because it's, I I forget what the word

is. Strict labeling.

Yeah. I forget what what part of the company.

It's like it's data centers. It's something cannot be unwoven. Interesting. So complicated. So glad it's not my job to deal with this.

Such a global issue.

Yeah. I don't have answers for you. I mean, I do, like, get off TikTok, but I know that's not that's not gonna work for everyone. But, yeah, glad that I don't have to sort out this mess. Yeah.

Because I have,

like, a lot going on in my life. Granted, I don't have a toddler, but I have a lot. What's with you?

Not too much. Busy morning so far this morning. We are out and about early, so I'm just sort of sat now with my girl. Nothing better. Ready for some adult convo.

Oh, are we going to be talking about pornography?

No. But, actually, I went to an event last night. I told you. You tried to call me.

God. I called Jackie, like, I always do, and she's, like, can't talk at an event. Excuse me? What event were you at? PTA meeting?

I was no. I was at an event. It was it was really, like, a women's event. Oh,

women in chat.

The theme was the theme and maybe I could bring some of my learnings to to the toast today because it was all about manifesting Oh my god. Wait. Earnest in, like, a very spiritual way about, like, manifesting the things that you want in your life. And I'm not a big manifester. I think anyone who listens to the show would know that about me.

I'm kind of, like, the opposite. So I was really trying to be open minded and understand what manifesting, not online, but in its origins actually means. Now before you get into what you learned, I need to

know more about the contact. Like, you you need to give me more information on the, like, the details of this class. Was it a class?

It I guess you could call it it wasn't a class. Was it a Torah class? No. It wasn't a Torah class, but it was it's I think the women who run are, like, very into Kabbalah. So it was it was

very Okay. Okay.

And and, like, god was in the room. You know? 100 of a bar. Like, the universe slash god, whatever you believe, but, like, these are women

of faith. Correct.

Yeah. Yes. So it wasn't, like, an agnostic event. I can't

believe, like, you are saying these words.

Like I know. I know. But a friend of mine, you actually whom you know, I'm not gonna start, like, dropping names, but a friend of mine from this summer, she was coming in for this event, so she was like, come. And then Olivia was like, oh, I'm going to that. I didn't think you would wanna go.

Olivia was going? Olivia was already going.

She's less she is less universe manifest spirit than you.

She kind of is, though. She's kind of is. No. I see. But, anyway

I could see her thinking it's, like, so stupid.

No. No. No. She no. She's not.

And she's been to, like, this event before, so she was going, and then my friend was going. So I was like, okay. Of course, I'll go. And it's all it was all about manifesting. So I really was just trying to learn because I've I I think of manifesting as, like, influencers, like, printing out pictures on Pinterest and, like, putting it on their vision board and calling it a day.

Yeah. But the original intention for manifesting, it's it's much more than that. And it's a lot about, like, positive affirmations and, like, self talk.

Mhmm.

And, like, there's a lot of steps towards manifesting. All in which you the 12 step program? It was, like, 5 or 6 steps, and it's like, yeah. If you could do all those steps, like, you would be, like, a totally mentally healthy person and probably But if I could do all those steps,

I wouldn't be at this class. Like

The steps are, like, not as easy as just steps. You know? So it was very interesting, and I'm thinking I really am think and, also, there was also, like, a bit of meditation because when you are manifesting and you're going into your soul, you're trying to think about, like, the things that you truly desire.

Mhmm.

So it's a very relaxing exercise, actually.

I was like, what do you truly desire?

Well, I'm not gonna share that with everyone.

Oh, really?

It's very personal.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. They brought out, like, these big, like, poster boards. I'm like, we're not about to write down, like, our heart's desires, are we?

Oh, I guess, yeah, it is, like, personal.

I gave mine away. I was like, I'll write in my notebook. Thanks.

Did you

Brit did you b y o? The thing is they gave notebooks to everyone, so it's so my kind of place. Worth it? It was worth it for the free notebook. So it it's nice to think about as we go into the new year, like, what you wanna manifest yourself in the first 3 months, 6 months, 12 months.

And the 12 month goal should be something that seems so far fetched. Mhmm. You know? Mhmm. But, like, the 3 6 months are the steps to get there.

Wow. I'm just I'm in shock. Honestly, this conversation and, like, this new line of thinking, like, does feel like a betrayal.

No. I'm not saying this like, it's it's nice to think differently for an evening.

Sure.

You know? Sure. Get in touch with your true self. Sure. You should try it, Turdy

once. I agree and understand. I don't think this is, like, specific to, like, spirituality that, like, you get out what you put in. Right? So if you, like, walk through the world with a and a terrible energy and attitude, like, that's what you're gonna receive.

Yeah. And if you're, like, a joyful positive person and you put out positive things in laughter and light, that will come back to you. You you get out what you put in. So I don't know if that's, like, a revolutionary, like, philosophy, but I agree with it. Yes.

Yeah. That's part of it. Yeah. You know? Putting out the good vibes, which is always a good lesson.

Yeah.

Okay. Wow. Took a turn this morning.

Well, that's what I was up to. What can I say? Accepting. Manifest destiny.

Oh, man. Me and Ben watched the funniest episode of curb last night. Like, we just, like, are on a curb kick. It's, like, the 1 thing we can agree on just to, like, play in the background. And they charter a plane to go to a wedding, and the pilot needs everybody's weights, and nobody will give it.

Yeah. And, so they have to, like, land. They have to make an emergency landing and drop off their suitcases because the plane is too heavy, whatever. It was so fucking funny. They go to this carnival, and I guess it's like this, you know, it's like this Mexican carnival, and there's a guy there who can guess anybody's weight.

So Larry, like, brings all the people over.

Oh, right. I've seen this we've talked about this episode before. It's seriously peak comedy. Yeah. When it aired, we were not okay.

Oh my god. It's seriously so funny. Yeah. I was cracking up. Oh my god.

That's okay. Never mind. Actually, maybe I'm

having trouble tasting you. That's so real. If you're ever in a situation where you have to ask, like, your friends for their weight I mean, it's not like even when we're renting skis, like, you need to ask everyone. They're like, oh, I'll fill it out myself.

Yeah. When Ben and I were first dating, we were in Puerto Rico, and we went parasailing. And the guy on the back of the boat was, like, I just need, like, your rough weights. And Ben was like, oh, I can, like, go in, like, the other part of the boat or whatever. I'm like, no.

It's fine. 120. And the guy was like goes down. The guy was like, he gave he gave me eyes. He was like, I'm gonna give you another chance

to Did you really try and lie? Of course. I said No. But then you're like, you're that's so risky.

I said 125, and then he was like and I gave him a look, and I was like, just, you know, do your do your worst. Like, overestimate. I don't give a fuck. Then also, I'm always doing it in a dangerous situation. And the and, like, if somebody's asking you for your weight in that sense, like, it's usually for your safety.

Like, when I was on this, me and Brian were in the British Virgin Islands, and we were, like, island hopping. And you take these tiny fucking planes. They needed my weight. And, like, I honestly hadn't weighed myself in months. So I just I honestly I don't even know.

Your guess is as good as mine. But Roundup,

nah. Roundup because, like, seriously, they need enough fuel of what you wanna be going down right before you hit land.

So I did tell Brian, like, right before we took off that I lied about my weight, and he was like, I'm literally a father. Like

Yeah. I would if I were traveling with you, I would go over on my weight just like makeup for your lie. Wow. Well, I just feel like I'm not

gonna be traveling anymore if that's just, like, the state of travel. I agree.

Let's I feel like we've reported on stories where, like, even commercial airlines are, like, starting to consider, accounting for people's weight when purchasing a ticket. Yeah. It's definitely a tough line of line of like, a

line to walk. I just feel like I can't get hurt if anybody like, no one's gonna be asking, why am I weight if I never leave my house? You know?

Yes. It's just, you know, they're always asking, like, for the right reasons, but there's just never a right reason. You know? Of course.

And, like, they don't do it in the most discreet way. Now I know it's, like, a part of this parasailor's job, but he should have pulled me to the side.

But don't you think if he pulled you to the side, he'd be like, oh, why do you think I'd be embarrassed?

Well, because I'm fat. Like, I'm not stupid or blind. I know I'm fat. I was fat at the time, like, extremely.

There's no right way to go about it. And the funny part

of the curb episode Actually,

you could give everyone a little slip of paper, and they could write it That's the way it goes.

The funny the thing with the curb episode was that Larry needed to collect them to give to the pilot, and, like, they weren't comfortable giving it to Larry, let alone the pilot. And it was it was the men too. It was so fucking funny and so real. I just loved it. I know it's such

a good episode. It really is.

It's, like, season 10 9 or 10. We have a great episode today. We have stories Jessica Simpson is single, and that's kind of huge news for for a select few, and those that includes us. We also have Dear Toastmasters.

Number 4 for the year of couples.

Yes. By the way, Paige and Craig was technically December.

But I wonder maybe this is starting a new batch of 3. It also feels like people just drop big news in the new year. Yeah. Or maybe people, like, kinda give themselves till the end of the year, and it's like, if we can't work it out, like, we're gonna start the new year on a new foot. Part of it is strategic for sure.

For breakups right now. I wonder, like

Also, the fires, like, maybe that's, like, a way of burying. Because I literally forgot about Jessica Alba. So much has happened since then.

We We were always gonna forget about Jessica Alba.

She is forgettable. Like, I

didn't forget about Paige and Craig. It's just about

No. Of course not. I I can never, and I will never.

Did you see that Paige was at a football game with another male? However, I didn't see, like, anything untoward.

No. Not untoward, but I, like, started sitting with a guy at a game Yeah. In a city that, like, she has no connection to. Like, why would she be at the Eagles game? Because her man's there.

Like

because her man's yeah. I don't know. I'm not jumping to conclusions, but, like, the odds that he's not straight are kinda slim because they're at a football game. Like Oh,

you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Yeah. No. He he's he ain't gay.

Yeah. He was wearing, like He's just not gay.

Stuff. He's not gay.

I didn't get a good look because my video was far away. What did you see?

My video was far away too, but then I, like, saw a photo of the man, and I got, like, a resume

Oh.

And a name.

Oh, I didn't get that. Oh, yeah.

He works about to be married. Like, he's

okay. So so it was his date for sure.

People can't work in sports, but I'm just telling you guys he's not gay.

So you think it's a date for sure?

Like, why the hell else would she be there?

Oh, my god. Okay.

I was trying to think. I'm, like, do some people in Albany root for the Eagles? Like, no. I was, like, really trying to make it make sense. I'm, like, no, they're I'm in denial.

Yeah. Who were they playing?

I don't know. Oh, I do know. Yeah.

I don't know. I think they were playing the Green Bay Packers because they were both wearing green. And Harry said, are those the green cowboys? And I was like, how is that gonna answer this? They're both green.

So then he said, the Packers were wearing yellow. That's what I overheard from the kitchen.

And when you're thinking of, like, ways to explain things to your son, do you think, like, you're getting close to the point to explaining to Harry that cowboys don't equal football players? They're just a specific team. Because Harry will see someone playing in the park, football, and they'll say cowboys.

Yeah. But right now, this is like, it works this way. What? Blue cowboys, red cowboys. Cool.

You know, like, we're all on the same page. 1000%. Yeah. But soon, I'll I'll I'll start going through the teams. Mhmm.

Where do you even begin there? That And by the way not my job. Harry By the way, not

my job. Harry's gonna be on a podcast in 20 years. Like, when I was a kid,

I thought that all football players

were called cowboys. Like, we're always talking about things we thought when we were kids, and, like, that's the way you're experiencing that with your son.

It's really cute to see it from the other side, and it's very logical.

A 100%. How how we came to that conclusion. Mhmm.

So

we also have Dear Toasters because it's Tuesday. So All

else to say, it was they were playing the Packers, so maybe she has, like, a pack even though she was wearing the Eagles garb, maybe there was a Packer connection.

Listen. I'm down to cloud with you and just, like they

will find it. The Packer connection.

I'm down to cloud and, like, make stuff up just to make ourselves feel better, but, like, it was most likely a date.

Okay. Get it, girl. That's a nice date. The lovers

The dreamers Jasmine, the

Thank you, tardy hydration. You're welcome. Our first story is a big shocking news of the day. Jessica Simpson has split from her husband Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage. They called it a painful situation.

So Jessica Simpson told Magazine in a statement today on Monday that Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.

This is devastating. Like, 1, because I hate when, like, Internet, like, hawk eagle eyed Internet users are right. Like, there were a lot of rumors about them for a while, her ring, and she was out without him, but all of it could be explained away. And now it's like, well, they were right. Yeah.

I just feel like you can't really judge Jessica Simpson based on her social media or, like, what she's doing. Without

she's not playing that game.

No. There's just like, she's so layered. Whatever she winds up, like, posting social media is just, like, 1 picture. So if her husband hasn't been there in a while, like, doesn't necessarily mean anything, but there have been rumors about this. But I also feel like rumors have plagued them throughout their entire marriage.

So at a certain point, it's like, listen. Yeah. Shut up. We'll like, when they say what they say.

Now if you read your book, which you absolutely should because it's the most Which you absolutely should. Amazing. It's the most amazing book of all time. It's really sad because they were really have been through so much together. And I think that, like, only recently, not, like, only maybe I would say in the last 5 or 10 years, has she sort of been rebirthed.

Like, she had went through this really tough struggle with alcohol addiction, and he was there, you know, thick or thin, supporting her, like, kind of picking up where she was putting down when it came to, like, the family and the kids. And and she wrote about him with such respect and such gratitude that it makes me really sad that, like, now that things seem to be going much better for her, they didn't make it.

Yeah. It does make me sad because he seemed like

A good guy.

A charming happily ever after. You know, you kind of write them off and don't worry about them. Right. So when someone comes out of retirement like that, you hate to see it. They have a big family.

Yeah.

He seems really happy, and then they say a painful situation. So this isn't the usual, you know,

schedules, privacy,

just didn't make it, love them. Yeah. And, of course, the person

It begs the question of what we were talking about last week in regards to Jessica Alba. This is another woman who makes significantly more money than her husband. He's, like, a former football player. He didn't really, like, achieve greatness in that. But where I feel like I think I know them a little bit better than I knew Jessica Alba and her husband because I read her book, and he was an extremely involved parent.

Eric, is that his name? I literally don't even know his name. Like, super, super dad almost. So I feel like he will get a large settlement because she owns a $1,000,000,000 company. And I actually this is a rare scenario where I am okay with it.

Like, I I think he earned his living. Do you you know

what I mean? But I also think that because of what happened with Nick Lachey, she probably has a

pretty strong

prenup Yeah. And isn't gonna have to give half just like she needs

to be Lachey. But a prenup is is helpful. But in a marriage where you were together for so many years, you built a huge part of your business during that time, and you have 3 children together. Like, the court it's illegal for you

to walk away. Child support and alimony, but he'll probably just settle. Automatically get half.

No. No. No. He's not gonna get half. But he'll I think she'll give him, like, a big chunk unless it could ended really poorly.

Like, I feel like maybe if Kelly Clarkson marriage had ended, like, in a more amicable way, she would have been okay giving him a big settlement and then month monthly payments for the kids and whatever. But she had so much resentment because he was such a shit that he didn't deserve it. I feel like I need to know what happened between these 2. Pain where?

Yeah. Where is the pain? Who caused the pain? Was it an accidental pain or an intent? Was it an affair?

Or pain chart, show me how bad it is. 1 to 5. On this

pain chart. Like, I'm sorry. That's just like a crazy vague term, but also pretty specific considering they could have not included that and been, like

Unless they're saying

marriage is running for us.

Painful because the marriage is ending. Is that where the is that the cause of the pain, or was there a different pain that caused

the end? Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. So there was a situation

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That led to the end of the marriage.

That wording is is intentional. Something happened. Now I feel like, you know, I always try to look at both sides when there's a devastating breakup and get excited about, like, the girl going out and, like, maybe reconnecting with John Mayer. But to be honest, like, I don't have that sort of feeling. I feel like what I took away from her book was that, like, not only does she require, but she really thrives in, like, stable environments.

And I think he was really that for her. And I think maybe the marriage would have ended a little while ago if she didn't really cling to that sort of stability. Mhmm. So I don't wanna see her, like, that's not, I think, what's even best for her, like, out and about, you know, dating around Hollywood. Like, I liked that she had this guy who was, like, kind of a nobody.

Like, yeah, he played football. Like, tell me what team. I I'll give someone a $1,000,000 if they know what team he played for. Like, it was just this kind

of good situation they had, random but good. Yes. But Jessica Simpson, like, is a lover, and she actually probably will have a new relationship because she's a relationship girl. Yeah. There are so many people in her book who had she had, like, real relationships with, not just like and I don't think she's, like, a fling person, but I think she likes being in a relationship.

So as when the dust settles from this, I think she will want that again because I think she likes that partnership.

Well, maybe her neighbor slash mom friend Kim Kardashian could set her up with someone. She runs in a very, very cool, powerful circle. She lives in that neighborhood. Her kids play soccer with the Wests and the Kardashians. Like, she is ripe for for a good setup.

I guess, like, if Kim could set someone she had all these bachelors, like, 1 for himself, 2 for Khloe. Like, let's get it popping.

Well, Khloe had said that she doesn't wanna date until the kids are grown. I know. But The heart wants what the

fuck wants. Fate. Right? If she like, the right man walked up to her.

But I also feel like the men that Kim knows, like, obviously don't work for Kim, and, therefore, they wouldn't work for Khloe. But Jessica's totally different. You know?

Yeah. Jessica is totally different.

And she's kind of this, like, free spirit.

Even though she likes athletes too.

Yeah. But it's different. He wasn't, like, an athlete. You know what I mean?

But Tony Romo?

Well, he's so happily married, and I would never ever ever wish ill on him and his family. They have a beautiful life together. They're like Texas royalty. No.

I'm just saying just that that she likes athletes, Tony Wagner.

Gonna say, like, having

said that, I shit. What about John Mayer?

Well, you know, I've recently gotten over, in a very public way, my crush on John Mayer for for many years. Like, it was it was him. He was the end all be. And I felt really good about the fact that, like, Ben didn't, like, not look like John Mayer. You know?

They're not twins. But and I've recently just started to find him, like, unattractive, not even, like, in a physical sense. Like, yes. You know, he's not aging in the way that I would have hoped, but you know what I mean. Like, overall, like, his vibes, like, some of the it's, like, a little it gives me the echo a little bit.

Like, I'm just over him. So maybe at 1 point, like, these 2 reuniting would have been the best thing to ever happen to me. But not only does he give me the ick, I also don't think like, now I'm suspicious of, like, men who all he says he wants to get married. He wants to be in a relationship. I'm a relationship guy.

You're literally almost 50. You could be married a 100 times if you wanted. Like, you never even in his lyrics, he talks about, like, how he wants to have kids. It's like, well, you don't. Yeah.

Like, a woman can wanna have kids and not. Like, it it cannot happen for her. But if a man wants to have kids, like, he can have kids. It's not a choice.

I mean, I'm sorry. Yeah. It is a choice. It's just easier for them. It's like the minute they decide, they decide why.

Serious.

And it's like, well, you're almost 50 now. We're still doing this. Like, grow up. Speaking of John Mayer, Sabrina Carpenter, did you

see Harry Jowsey was on Chris and Cavallari's podcast, and he said that he DM'd Sabrina and wants to go out with her? And Claudia, the way I ship, and I think it's a first of all, I think compatibility wise, they would really like, they're both really funny. Looks wise, they're a total match. They're a total match. I think that they would really work out.

And then, also, celebrity wise, I think that would be a really good match for her. Like, someone in the spotlight, but not totally what she does and would totally look up to her and treat her like the queen that she is. Like, I need this to happen. Yeah. So we need to check your DMs.

He got dragged. People were like, you think the biggest pop star you're literally from Too Hot to Hate.

I don't think I do think. And I agree. Like, on

the surface, you're like, what? But the more you really think about it and really what she needs also, you have to think about the fact that, like, she's very comfortable in her sexuality, and she's kind of, like, freaky for sure. You know? Mhmm. And, like, nobody is more open about their freakiness than

what's his name? Harry Jones. Harry Jonesy.

I agree. At first, I was like, wait. And then I saw a picture side by side of them together. I'm like, they almost look like cousins. You know?

I'm like, oh, it's perfect. Not that, like, cousins should fuck, but, like, they have the same sort

of, like, aura. They have the same aura, and I just I really wholeheartedly enjoy that.

Yeah. And even if my girl. Just like mister right now, not mister right. Like, I don't think they're gonna get married, but I think that would be really fun for Sabrina. Yeah.

And, like, it might it would be nice, like, be with somebody who's, like, actually handsome and tall. Do you know what I mean? Like, it would just to change it up for Sabrina.

Yeah. Something new. Something new. It could be the start of something new. Feels so right to be here with Harry Jowsey.

Oh, I like Harry Jowsey. Those clips were cracking me up.

I like Harry Jowsey too, actually. I think it's really impressive what he's done with his, like, modicum of fame.

Yeah. So as, like, Sabrina's number 1 fan

the carpenters? Endorse. Carpentaters. Yeah.

Our next story, another celebrity is postponing a big announcement. Beyonce has pumped the brakes on her big reveal as LA is on fire. So Beyonce was set to announce something huge today, and she's put it on ice as the wildfires continue to cut a destructive path across Los Angeles. She issued a statement on Monday night saying the January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of of Los Angeles.

Yeah. So, like, it's weird to postpone to announce to announce a postponement of an announcement.

To announce an announcement and then announce the postponement of the

Upset announce it. Having said that, like, she was in a bad spot. You know? Like, she couldn't go radio silent because everybody's like, Beyonce, what's up? And, like, it's sort of, like, tacky to, like, make even though I do think now she could make it without it being, like, create like, out of touch.

Like, I think that enough time has passed where it's, like, obviously, the devastation is still ongoing, but, like, it's more under control. And I I just don't think it would have been, like, the worst thing if she had done it.

I don't think it's tasteless or tacky for people to announce things right now. However, I think it's not the best business Efficient. Yeah. Because you're not gonna be able to promote it as much as you want, and it's gonna get lost in the news cycle. And so it's better to just postpone it so you can have the moment that you want.

But it does beg the question, like, what's the announcement that she's announcing?

I know. Postponed. Because I don't think it's an album.

Tour. Yeah. Cowboy Carter tour?

Which sounds so fun, honestly. Mhmm.

Yeah. Probably. And maybe she was, like, wanting that momentum from the halftime show.

Yeah.

But now she's postponing the announcement. Yeah. But I am feeling like tour. But I

Although, I feel like when there's, like, a big stadium tour coming out, like, people it always gets leaked. Oh, really? Yeah. Because people, like, work at the stadiums get, like, an email about, you know, upcoming tour schedule. And it, like, it I feel like it always gets leaked.

Oh, well, then maybe not. But what else could it be? I don't think it's an album.

No. Yeah.

She has her hair care line. Like, I don't think it's a a line of goods.

Retirement perchance? That would be crazy if Beyonce was just like, I'm retiring.

No. I don't think so. I don't think you have to set a date to announce that.

Not not only that. Like, she's a businesswoman, and you don't go out while you're on top. Like, there's more money to be made.

So when did she postpone it till? I'm not sure.

Indeed. I mean, there's no way to know. And, honestly, I feel like if she were to set another date write what down?

Wanna write it down? It's just things to follow-up on.

Yeah. Yeah. Things to circle back on.

I'm loving having a pen and paper, let me tell you, and I also, of course, need to circle back with keeping up with sports.

Yeah. That's sort of the inspiration behind the list. It should be called the keeping up list. They should announce the premiere of their podcast on

the hour.

Agreed. Keeping up with sports. So this is just my follow-up list. Yeah. Whatever happened to blank.

Yeah. I like that.

Whatever happened to Megan's podcast with Lemonade? Added to list. Lemonade podcast, Lemonade x Megan.

That's weird. What's happening? Meganade. I it's happening, but not before Netflix. Did you see miss Rachel is now, like, on Netflix?

I did. I know you're over her. I'm over her too.

Yeah. No. I I'm not into her. But I just wanna say,

I've clowned on her for, like, being a communist with, like, like, her inability.

Put her businesswoman pants on.

Yeah. To her inability to, like, franchise and, like, make money. And

no. It's She got a taste?

She'd have been on Netflix for a while. Yeah. She got a taste of the luxury life.

I think she's, like, also announced. Like, she has toys. I think she's got a book. Like yeah.

She always had, like, like, good revenue streams, but at the level that she, like, influences young minds, like, if that were me, I actually would be retired, and I would be a multi multibillionaire many times over. And so I just always thought, like, she was kind of lacking that entrepreneurial spirit. And now I feel like you're right. She got a taste of the high life, and she wants more.

Yeah. It's true. She's got a big a big appetite. A 100%.

So I guess we'll wait to

see what Beyonce's announcement was going to be. Very exciting and very vague.

Very vague. Yeah. You're probably right about a tour.

I think that makes sense.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story? Mhmm. A little music news as Carrie Underwood will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration. So the inauguration committee has announced some inauguration? Inauguration committee has announced some performers, speakers, etcetera, and I, the most recognizable name is Carrie Underwood will be singing America the Beautiful.

She said, I love our country, and I'm honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration. And to be a small part of this historic event, I'm humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.

Now I think a lot of people were really shocked by this. Like, probably 1 of the first, like, truly mainstream popular actually, no. Like, Jason Aldean, but, like, it's very rare for a celebrity, like, an elite to get involved with Trump. And so a lot of people are really shocked by it. Even though I feel like if you've been paying attention to Carrie Underwood over the last couple of years, like, there's no way, like, she would have not been conservative.

Like, she makes her own yogurt. Like, she's so, like do you know what I mean? She's so, like, granola. Like, for sure. She's getting a lot of backlash, but I will say it did spawn for me.

Now people are, like, reminding, like, all these old clips. I've watched, like, a 1,000,000 compilation videos. Like, 8 celebrities you didn't know performed at previous inaugurations from the last, like, 2 or 3 presidents. And I was actually really shocked to find that miss Kelly Clarkson gave 1 of the worst performances I've ever seen. I forget.

I think it was Obama's first, and she sang, like, 1 of the, you know, God bless America, not the not the anthem, but, like, 1 of the follow-up songs. It was so bad, and I've actually never heard Kelly sing poorly. I highly encourage you guys to just, like, look it up on YouTube. You won't be shocked. She might have, like, started in the wrong key.

Something happened. Like, something went wrong, and we know Kelly can sing. It's not I would love to know what happened. Like, it was so bad.

That is so crazy. I did not know that. But, yeah, usually, like, the last inauguration, Gaga performed, Gaga. So Beyonce famously.

Beyonce famously. And, actually, with my little research trip, Tommy, is actually Hillary Duff was at George Bush's inauguration. A lot of people don't know that. She was there, but did she sing? She didn't sing.

She was just there. Yeah. So it's like I feel like it's, like, a big deal now, but it almost just becomes, like, a part of history because we don't talk about, you know, Hillary, Doubt, Bush, or Kelly Clarkson, or Biden, or, was it Biden? Or I think it was Obama. But we don't talk about it.

It just sort of becomes, like, a part of American history. So now in the moment, it's like there's backlash or we're all talking about it, but I don't know. I just feel like it becomes, like, cemented in history, and we all just move on from it.

Yeah. And I think for some artists I think some artists, like, are very political and would never, like, cross a line or perform for someone. But I think for other people, like, it's really an honor. It is a it's a someone. But I think for other people, like, it's really an honor.

It is, it is a huge honor to perform at inauguration for the entire country, like and to see it as a unifying experience, like, I I think that is a nice thing. And, also, for the people watching, I want a good I want some good performers. I want some beautiful renditions of our beautiful country's beautiful songs.

Also and I think Jelly Roll was just talking about this because he was at a UFC fight, and he met Trump. And, you know, some of his followers were

like, I can't believe you like

mad Trump. And his response was like, are you guys kidding me? Like, I'm I'm like, I was in jail. I got to meet a president. Like, I don't give a fuck which 1 it is.

Like, it's such an honor to meet any president. I've never met a president. Have you? No. No.

Like, it's such an honor. To think about that.

But No.

Like, yes. You could look at everything so politically. But for me, like, I grew up so poor. I literally went to jail. Like, I'm now here, like, in rooms with presidents.

Like, yeah. I'm gonna say hi and be respectful. I don't give a shit who the president is. So I think a lot of people come to it with that POV, like, just being asked. Some people are are inherently, political, and they're not willing to get involved on a side that doesn't On certain side.

Yeah. Like, they would only do 1 side.

Right. Which I But I think there

are people that would Both sides, either side. And then there

are some people who are just thirsty, and it's like, yeah, millions of people are watching. Like

It's like singing at these people.

Aren't gonna pay themselves. Exactly.

Yeah. So I look forward to seeing what she does with it. I just watched her perform on New Year's Rock and Eat because now she's, like, really back out there. She's a American Idol judge, so she did ABC's New Year's, and she's giving it her all.

Yeah. She definitely like, she never took time off because she's always been touring. If you've been following Carrie, like, there's new music. There's new albums. There's new tours.

But, I think from, like, real public life, she's actually very private, and she doesn't, like, show up and do a lot of stuff. She has, like, a private family life too. Also, you know, there's, like, a lot of, you know, rumors about her and her family is all, like, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. But it's she seems well.

She does seem well, and she was good on Rock and Eve. Yeah.

Not my favorite song choices, though, would be my criticism as a big Carrie fan. I saw her perform somewhere.

Was it stage coach? Maybe something like that. And she wasn't, like, a a headliner. I was, like, particularly, like, looking I was, like, I want Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, but she was fucking amazing.

No. I seriously love her. And, and

have you seen her show? It's, like, actually the craziest thing.

Her concert DVD is coming out on Hulu soon. Remember? That was a story. Write it down. She's, like, very much in the news right now.

She's doing a lot.

Maybe she got bills to pay or something.

Yeah. No. She wants to promote her concert DVD. Mhmm. So this is a really good platform.

Thing you're looking for is, like, a concert movie. It's no longer called a concert DVD, grandma.

No. But Claudia, like, it's a concert DVD.

I know. What are we calling it? Like, tale of

reputation, it's like a ARRIS tour movie? Like concert streaming on streamers? Yeah.

We need to we need to have come up with official replacement for concert DVD. I guess it's a concert movie. But sometimes they make it, like, documentaries, Shawn Mendes wonder. Like, this is different.

Right. Oh my god. Do not.

I won't get started on my diatribe.

Sorry. Not that's not what I was saying. Do not make it a documentary as well. I want No. If I'm turning on your concert DVD, it's because I want the bangers.

Oh my god. I forgot to tell you the most interesting page I end up I ended up on. Okay. Page? Like, someone's page.

Okay.

You know me? I, like, I interact a lot on social media with Katy Perry. Like, I am a fan of hers, begrudgingly. Yeah. So I ended up on Katy Perry China, which is, like, a Twitter account just dedicated to, like, Katy Perry updates.

There's a million of them. Like, you wanna think anything of it.

Right? Like, it's like a

fan account that shows paparazzi pictures, but the person who runs Katy Perry China fucking hates Katy Perry. I saw some of the nastiest tweets about Katy Perry on a fan account of hers. So Katy Perry was seen leaving CBS with Orlando Bloom and Daisy.

And you wanna bring them those nasty fucking tweets here.

I do. I do because it was seriously so crazy. Okay. So Katy Perry was seen leaving, like, a CVS with Orlando and the the baby, Daisy. And Daisy, like, starts to have, like, a tantrum, like, leaving the CVS, and she, like, won't get in the car, like, classic toddler.

So this is Katy Perry Chyna. Ready? They have pictures of Katy like, the paparazzi pictures of Katy, Daisy, and Orlando. Breaking news. Daisy cried.

Was it her evil mother who wouldn't buy her a toy? Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and their daughter, Daisy, shopped at CBS on January 10, 2025 in Santa Barbara. Daisy was found bursting into tears. So I was like, oh my god. Were they hacked?

Like, it was such a crazy and the account is Katy Perry China. And I was like, there's literally no way. So the next tweet comes up. This is why no 1 wants to have kids these days. Katy Perry Orlando Bloom and their daughter, Daisy, were shopping at CBS.

As they were leaving, Daisy started throwing a tantrum causing a scene in front of bystanders and embarrassing her celebrity parents via the Daily Mail. Jackie, it is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like, why is somebody dedicating their life to a Katy Perry fan account when they literally hate Katy Perry?

I I mean, that's just people. Right?

Jackie, it was so funny, her evil parents. Was it her evil mother who didn't buy buy her a toy? Like, seriously crazy, the Internet? She says, oh, there's a new TikTok account that you would love. Oh, send it to me.

What is it? It's called, like, Daily Mail History or something. So they, like, write, headlines and things, like, as if what was happening in, like, the 1500 was happening right now. Because I saw it, and I was like, I thought it was a real Daily Mail headline. It's, like, breaking Catholicism to become banned by the king the church of England.

I was like, wait. What? And it was, like, from the 1700, like Henry the 8th or whatever. You would love it. It's, like, it's far it's smoney and smoney and fart.

Smart and funny.

That's funny. Stassie was trying to get me on TikTok by, like, teasing these, like, good historical accounts. She was like, there's stuff for you. There is stuff

for you. Let me tell you what the account

is called. She's given up. Maybe by now,

it's reels. It's called history mail.

History mail. That is a history mail. Okay. The Greeks have gifted the trojans

a wooden horse. Piece is closed inside reports stinks. No. It's such a funny concept.

Scientists invent what they call a wheel, which is said to change the world. Experts say it's too complicated for widespread use.

Oh, That is so funny.

Small city filled with mainly criminals named Rome is trying to expand its territory. Experts say it won't get far. That is funny. I shall follow.

Oh, are they on reels?

They are on reels.

Oh, so unreal.

Hopefully, you know, it's history mail. Who do they okay. Well, thanks for that detour. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah.

Our next story is some Bebban news because Britney and Patrick have welcomed baby number 3, a girl. So Britney and Patrick Mahomes shared that their daughter was born. Her name is Golden Ray Mahomes.

And I just can't wait for Taylor Swift to invite her to get up to get the the 22 hat and say, and it's golden, golden. Cute. Like, celebrities, like, often do crazy things, and so the way Holmes is I didn't know this, but, apparently, like, they have, like, a metal theme within their family. Their kids are named Steel. Their dogs are named, like, Alice,

the daughter. I don't know. The daughter is Sterling Sky, so Sterling.

Which is enormous. Sterling itself is a fine, like, normal name.

And then the son is his first name is Patrick, but they call him Bronze.

Okay. Well, he has a real name, so

does that. Oh, I'm sorry. Because he's Patrick Mahomes the third, Bronze. Oh, that's cute. Love Like that.

And then Golden.

So, yeah, while the theme is, like, kinda crazy celebrity whatever, each name individually isn't that crazy. No. Not at all. I would say Golden is probably, like, the least conventional in terms of, like I don't know if I would say Golden is, like, a a name, but it's pretty, and it's not crazy.

No. It's not. That's very nice. I'm happy for Britney and Patrick.

Of course. But also And I think it lines up nicely. Like, I think they have a break this week. So you know?

Do you think she'll be at

the playoff games? A 100%. 1 thing about Brittney Mahomes, like, she doesn't miss a game. It's

true. It's true.

And then she, like, bounces back. She's like, oh, we just had a baby, but it's a Super Bowl.

Like, she actually think this is the worst timing to have a baby, like, during the playoffs because, like, this is when we're choosing out of commish. Right.

She'll be there.

Britney Mahomes, she doesn't miss a game.

No. And when your husband has a $500,000,000 contract, like, you can take private planes. You can hire nannies. Like and I feel like she I feel like she puts her husband's money, like, to work, and I love that for her.

Get a bed in the suite, and she could be sat in bed watching the game. She probably is gonna get

get, like, a wet nurse. Like, that's what I would do if I had all that money. Like, I would get a jet, a wet nurse, a bed, and we would just travel the country with my man.

Yeah. Sounds kinda nice. It honestly does.

And it's not her first, not her second. Like, I feel like by the 3rd, you're just

you're just, like You're on the go. Yeah. And she's already, like, a a a

go ghetto girl. A 100%.

Thank you. Our 5th and final story is a little memoir news. Who's writing 1? Memoirs of a Brookie. Brooke Shields' memoirs have come out.

She's been in the news a lot of headlines about excerpts from her book. Her book is called are you ready for it?

Shield me forever, something like that. No. It's literally so bad. Ugh.

It's so long. Brooke Shields is not allowed to get old. Thoughts on aging as a woman. What? That's the name of the book.

That's the name of a

TED talk. It's not even it's like it's on a it's a sentence.

No. It's the name of a college paper.

Oh my god. They're getting worse and worse. Honestly, me and Ben are watching so much Barefoot Contessa because he's, like, seriously obsessed with mine, and he's, like, literally sits in writing notes.

Can you tell him to get ready when the luck hits?

Yeah. And then he was showing me something where he was like, that's the name of her book. I'm like,

yeah. Well, here's what Brooke Shields is sharing. She's actually a lot of, like, headlines have come out about stuff that she's sharing her press store and things from her book. But she said that Tom Cruise actually privately expressed remorse over his ridiculous rant about her use of antidepressants, she revealed in her memoir.

Oh, wow.

Was published today, and she said that the actor eventually said sorry to her. She said it wasn't the world's best apology, but it's what he was capable of, and I accepted it. That was

a big part. So it's interesting because she had a documentary that I feel like really shook everyone. It's a lot of celebrities do documentaries, but hers, like, really made conversations, made waves. And and I think it ushered in this new era of, like, Brooke Shields' appreciation. And and this took a hard look at, like, how Hollywood is really fucking obsessed with young girls in a really disgusting way.

And she she beared the brunt of a lot of it at the time. So I feel like she got a lot of it out in the documentary, and I'm sure the success of the documentary made it easier for her to, like, sell a book. But I wonder what's in the book that wasn't in the documentary.

I don't know. Maybe it seems to be also a focus on aging as a woman. So, like, with not so much, like, a life story as as it is, like, a woman's story. Right.

I mean and and the documentary was actually a lot about her mother Yeah. Who who was like, you know

So I think this is more about her and where she's at in her life. And so she talks about the beef with Tom Cruise from back in the day and how he eventually apologized in his way, but that's the thing.

Part of the documentary because she was, like, 1 of the first women to ever publicly speak about postpartum depression, and she had it, like, really bad. Like, she had to, I think, like, get treatment for it, like, outpatient. It was really, really bad, and she was, like, nobody's talking about this. And I think she's talking about it on Oprah or something. And people, like, fucking came for her, Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise, 1 thing about him like, at least he's consistent. He is seriously the biggest loser on the planet. I'm sorry. Like, they try to make me like him with Top Gun and, like, his movie star. Like, I get it.

Like, Jerry Maguire, but he is a fucking loser, and he always has been. I'm sorry. I hate him.

Yeah. We're back there. Yeah. We're back. Like the Olympics closing ceremony.

Yeah. Control team. 1 step forward, 3 steps backwards. Like, I I just I actually can't there are some people I think I can, like, willfully, like, ignore and just, like, be blind to their flaws. Like, Tom Cruise is so problematic.

I'm sorry. Hate.

Yeah. Well, I, actually, I think that this book is a good book. Like, I would trust her to write a memoir. I feel like every time she's, like, speaking or giving an interview, she just has a lot of say a lot to say. She has a lot of wisdom, and she's been in the industry for so long.

So even though the title's, like, not my favorite title, I think this is will be a good book. So if you did, let us know. Is the

title not my favorite title? It's probably 1 of my least favorite titles. Titles. It's up there with when the luck starts or whatever it's what's it called?

Be ready when the luck hits. It's frustrating when celebrities have

bad names for their memoirs, but it's especially frustrating when, like, the public can easily think of, like, 5 that are so good, Barefoot Confesser. Barefoot it should have been called Barefoot Confessions. Like, that's just it. Like, obviously, I would have liked Barefoot Confessa, but okay. Confessions.

Like, when there's such an obvious choice and you decide to not only not choose it, but go with the worst 1 ever, that's especially frustrating. Yeah. And what was Josh Gad's? I remember we just were talking about it, and it was good. I think it was like, are you there, Gad?

It's me. Something like that.

Josh Gad memoir is called In God, We Trust. Funny. Funny. So But he's a funny man. Like, not everyone wants to be funny.

People wanna be funny.

They don't have to be funny. Barefoot Confessions

is not funny. So the way that they did her title on the cover is better than in spoken word because it says Brooke Shields at the top as if she's the author and then is not allowed to get old.

Okay. It's really long.

Thoughts on aging as a woman? Let's

do dear toasters, our weekly advice segment, where every Tuesday, Jackie and I will read 3 submissions from the swirlies in need. Now if you're a swirly and you find yourself in need and you wanna reach out to us, you can head over to our website, the toast podcast.com, or you can head over to your email and send us an email, deartoastersgmail.com. Are you ready?

Yes.

Okay. This 1, like, actually made me laugh. Hey, Swirlies. Happy New Year. I'm in dire need of your help.

My husband has been in a fantasy football league for 15 years. And until this year, he's never even come close to winning. Last weekend, he was beyond stressed and just awful, snapping at me and just being a big weenie. In the end, he lost. I had already gone to bed, but I could hear him storming around.

I even heard him crying when he came into the bedroom. I got the biggest ich. Since I was pretending to be asleep when all this happened, how do I address it with him? Sincerely, wife of a big football crying weenie.

Oh my gosh. I feel like you have to let it go. Like, you don't address it. It just

needs to be something that, like, you, yourself, and you know.

Like, you never saw it or heard it. I, like, really hope that he wins 1 day, but I just I don't think there's anything to say unless he brings it up because it's affecting him so much. But maybe you just need to let it out, and today's a new day.

It's really tough when, like, you see someone doing something that that, like, they were doing in private. And, like, you

can't judge people for what they did in private.

When they thought nobody was watching. Now that person being your partner makes it even more awkward because you're supposed to not have secrets. But, yeah, I agree with Jackie. I don't think you can address this. Like, you just need to know, like, your man is crazy, and this is really important to him, and let him, like, cry.

Better luck next year. Yeah.

I think it's interesting. Crying.

Well, you know, how much money is on it?

But my initial thought was like, oh, your man has a gambling problem because, like, seriously crying is really crazy. And, like, maybe he

Maybe it's a pretty big pot, and he needed the money. Maybe he's in debt,

and he's, like, not sharing that with you. So I could see more sinister and more nefarious things going on here. Now I feel like I'm always saying, like, your husband's a gambling addict. Your husband's gay. So I was refraining.

But I do think, like, if you wanted to look further into this, you might find something more sinister because this is not normal issue. This is not normal behavior.

Or maybe, like, he he's not in debt, but he was looking forward to getting that money and, like, doing something really exciting for himself or maybe, like, taking you on a trip. And he's crying thinking about, like, you guys on the beach. Like To be clear,

he was not crying thinking about you guys on the beach. Like, maybe he was crying because, like, he had his eyes on a Rolex, and now he can't get it. Like, maybe something like that. Yeah. But, I think it's important to be, like, you know, realistic here.

He was not planning a beachfront vacation for you guys.

I just feel like if you want since you can't speak to him about it, if you want to, like, make yourself feel better, just think about the fact that he was gonna buy you a Birkin, and he's crying because he can't.

I cried too. If you can't let this go, while I don't think talking to him about it is gonna solve anything, like, do a little digging into the financials. Like, you might find something.

Just make sure that we're in the green.

Yeah. Because it it is, like, sort of crazy behavior. I know men get, like, really into sports and, like but to lose a fantasy league, especially when you lose all the time, like, yeah, to get close and then lose, it's even harder. But, like, crying is is actually, like, lunacy, and it actually it's really crazy.

I think he had big plans and big dreams.

For a

big trip. For a big trip, and he was gonna renew your vows.

Yeah. And that's why he's crying. Okay. Ready? Hey, Jackson Claude.

I'm in desperate need of your advice. My boyfriend, 6 3, Buff, works in finance. He's a pea jam. Our relationship is fantastic. But every time we visit his parents, I really start to cringe at him.

He's 29 years old, and he's still, in all seriousness, calls his parents mommy and daddy. He'll say something like, mommy, can you make me a sandwich? Or daddy, can you pass the salt? I'm sitting there wondering if I should start packing my bags or just quietly slip out the back door. I haven't said anything because I don't know if I need to over myself or if this is grounds for a conversation.

Please help. Now I just I have to come to the table and say something.

Your husband does this.

My husband picks up the phone. Hi, mommy. Hi, daddy. I never thought until this moment that it was weird. He has, I think, like, a a very normal, healthy relationship with his parents.

They're really close, but I don't think it borders on, like, like, weird. Now you got me, like, obviously, like, rethinking things. Like, I think it's maybe, like

I don't

I mean, Ben's 61. I don't know. I don't know. I I've never thought it was weird. So I'm I wanna say this might be a you thing.

What I was gonna say is, like, even if it feels weird when you hear it and you don't like it, like, this is not a deal breaker, and it's also not something that I think that you could say to him. Like, after 29 years, you need to start calling his parents something else. So I think that it's something that you just have to, like, learn to ignore and miss it. When you hear it, like, in 1 ear or the other because why ruin a good thing? This is not a deal breaker.

No. No. I'm sorry. If you're willing to give up a p job man who works in finance and is 6 what did you say? 63.

63? Like, who the fuck do you think you are? Like, we're just giving up perfectly good men because they call their moms mommy.

No. It's that's what I say when, like, it culture has gone way too far

Yep. That we're actually considering, like, giving up a good relationship because of the 3 times a year he sees his parents. Like, he says something that, like, puts you off. Yeah. No.

You actually need to get a grip. Like, this is 1 of the situations where I wanna shake the toaster in question and be like, he's a good man, Savannah. Like, what are you doing?

And, also, maybe, like, you could, like, run interception. Like, you make the sandwich before he could ask his mom. Like, you get the salt, like, so that he does not need to address his parents at all. Now that's unreasonable. Like, a person is gonna live in in a house for

a couple of days and sit have to address the person's house that they're staying at. Now and I don't think you should, but if you did wanna, like, try and get him to stop saying it, you could, like, tease him being, like, mommy, like, what are you, 6? And, like, maybe he doesn't even realize it, and then slowly he'll but I think, like, you'll just come off, like, naggy and bitchy for

no reason. To his podcast. Like, I call my mom mommy and daddy something that's

really special to me.

It's really something that's really special to me, and my whole family does it. It really, like, bonds us, and my girlfriend is making fun of me.

And then Ben, the host, who also calls his mom mommy and daddy, is gonna tell that you to break up with that girl because, like, she doesn't understand good men like you, and then you're gonna lose your perfectly good boyfriend.

So stop it. Just Yeah. Ignore it. Ignore.

Okay. Are you ready for our last 1? Yes. Okay. Hey, Jackson Claude.

I need advice. My mother-in-law has made so many comments about my weight gain. She did it over the holidays, and I don't know how to deal with it. Comments in front of his entire family, aunts, uncles, brothers. At 1 point, his 20 year old brother actually stuck up for me because he felt so bad.

The worst comment was being when she gave me a sweater for Christmas, and I opened it in front of everyone. Before I could even open it, she says, I got this for you before knowing how much weight you've gained. It's a medium. You're probably gonna need a large or an extra large. But, like, she could have just said, if you need another size, let me know.

The medium did fit. Slay. But she asked me later that night if she could give it to 1 of her son's girlfriends instead because it would probably look better on her and fit her better. This is just 1 example of many. My fiance didn't think anything of it, and she didn't said she didn't mean it like that.

I have so much resentment. I could hardly stand being around her. Help. What do I do? Well, I think it's important that you wrote into us because we know nothing about the situation.

And, like, sometimes, like, with in law drama and then your man, like, kind of not not taking your side, but not, like, sticking up for you, you're like, wait. Am I in the wrong? Just from an outside third party perspective with no particular interest in the matter. Like, this woman's a cunt. You literally did nothing wrong.

And your man, not only, like, gaslighting you into thinking it's not a big deal, but also, like, not standing up for you against his mom. Like, your man's a pussy. So you got a pussy and a cut. And I know this is your fiance, so we can't break up with

him because, like, obviously, there's a lot of fiance. She said mother-in-law.

Oh, mother-in-law. Oh my god. Excuse me. Yeah. So this is your husband.

This woman's a bitch. And I feel like with in laws, when you're, like, the the daughter or the son, like, you deal with you put up with stuff because this is an older person. You have respect for them. It's your partner's mother. But you do eventually, like, hit a point where it's like, actually, this is no longer works for me.

Like, I've I've swallowed too much. I can no longer swallow. Yeah. And I think you're reasonable for being at that point. Like, that is crazy.

So

The tip of the sweater back

Put your foot down. Like, you have power here, and you don't have to go. Mhmm. And you shouldn't go, and you should boycott. And not someone on your side.

Not to be, like, I want her to be nicer to me. Like, no. There's actually there were times where you would've accepted forgiveness or correction or your husband to step in, and all those times have passed, and you're not going anymore. So congratulations. You fucking played yourself because if you had just said something to your mom, all this could be avoided, and now you're not going.

And the good thing that that the small bit of hope we have to cling ourselves to and buoy ourselves to is you have an ally here in the brother. So you're not the only person like, see, it's not like everybody's like, what? No. You're crazy. Somebody else sees what you see.

Yeah. So that's huge because I think a lot of times, like, in family dynamics, if you're the outsider, everybody's like, what are you talking about? Yeah. No. Crazy.

Put your big fat foot down, and we're not going anymore.

Put your medium sized foot down. We're having Christmas at home.

Medium could have taken a large foot down. Yeah. I'm not putting myself in this environment anymore. Congratulations. Still fit you.

You played yourselves. I love that the sweater still fit you. Crazy. That's It wasn't

a part of her plan. That's why she was, like, hoping that the sweater wouldn't fit. She said, oh, I'll just give it to Sarah. But it did fit, but she had to give it to Sarah. Like, she's seriously, she's maniacal diabolical bitch.

And if your husband, like, won't go for it, start firing off some texts. Start making it permanent. Yeah. That's tough. Like, when you're in a battle with you

know, I follow this woman, Shauna. Do you know Shauna?

No. Let me make

sure that's her real name. And I actually followed her, like, before I started telling people I was pregnant. And I was worried and she followed me back, and I worried that she was gonna, like, blow up my spot because, like, she does all, like, newborn content and, like, she does, like, these little skits. She's like a mom she's like a mom influencer. Her name is not Shauna.

What is her name? Shauna. Yeah. Shauna Lander. I love her.

She does these, like, little skits about, like, newborns, like, when friends come over and, like, act crazy.

Spell Shauna? S h. I love accounts like this. Oh, you're gonna love Oh, Shauna. About them.

And by the way, you probably will recognize her. Her videos go so viral. You've probably seen it before. S h a w n a, Lander, l a n d e r. Is she on reels?

Yeah. Oh, sure. She's Shauna, the mom. Okay.

I yes. I see her.

You'd have you seen her before?

I don't think so, but maybe.

So she has a lot of skits about toxic mother in laws. I love it.

Oh, awesome.

For inspo, like, go to her account, and she'll tell you how to deal. I forget who her like, she has, like, a classic mother and not, like, with the cat. Barb. Barb. That's her name.

And so, like, she'll give you good tips on how to handle the Barb in your life.

Yeah. And, like, say your husband's like, no. We're still going. Like, send a text to the whole family. Say, hey, everyone.

We've already attending Easter this year as Barb can't control herself. Yeah. Can't control her rude comments. If you guys want, we'll have it at our house.

Right. Barb, you are not invited.

Just light a match.

Yeah. Like, I feel like you've put in the time. You you can't get to the place where you, like, burn it all down without putting up with a lot. And you've definitely put up with a lot, and you can you can burn it to the ground.

Yeah. And maybe that's how you get on a new page. Like, if there is, like, hope for the future, like, something really big has to happen where she could maybe understand even if she doesn't, like, agree, but at least just be respectful Mhmm. That that's not how you talk to people, that you want to that you want to endear and that you want to come to your home and spend time with you. That's just not

entirely true. That you're dealing with that. Like, that's brutal. But I hope we've given you, like, the confidence and the the power to take control of your holidays. Yeah.
