Transcript of Gang Gang Pargy Gang: Tuesday, October 14th, 2025

Good morning, girlies. It's The Toast. It's Jackson Claude, and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast-fired things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's the toast.

They sound amazing. Welcome back to The Turst.

It's the worst girls you've ever met on Opposite Day. Hey, Jacks.

How you doing? On Opposite Day, and the Tuesday of what is now a short week. Thank you to Mr. Columbus and the Indigenous Peeps, because we are starting off the week as shorties. Which we always are.

In a parjolicious way.

In a partalicious manner.

I've really been saying party so much. I realized that I have now replaced party, obviously, for like, while she looks beautiful, while she looks party. But it has also replaced Okay. Somebody's like, Does that work for you? Parjee.

P for parjee.

Yeah, it's really so infiltrating my vernacular.

That looks like a gang symbol.

Gang, gang, pargy, gang.

I love that. I love it. I love your gang, pargy.

Me too.

Well, I think that's great. When in doubt, parge it out.

Title.

Oh, I was going to say Pargie Gang. I love that.

Actually love At the bare minimum, we have a great title. If the rest of the episode goes to shit, we're good.

Who gives a damn?

Now we're like every other podcast. Great titles, terrible episodes. With us, we have the worst titles. You would never know, it's the most amazing episode.

Even though I would love to phone it in for this episode and just bank on this Pargie title, we actually have so much to catch up with each other on, so much to discuss. The stories are Pargie, the hosts are Pargie. We haven't really facetimed in a couple of days. I don't know what's going on with you. I want to hear about LA. I want to hear about food taking Hollywood. So unfortunately, this episode is going to be amazing. Maybe tomorrow we can phone it in.

I mean, we could try. It would actually be harder for us to put together a bad episode than it would to put it together a good episode. Sorry, not to be annoying. It's just facts.

Well, speaking of all of the above, how's Los Angeles treating you?

Well, if you had watched my vlog from Sunday, you wouldn't need to ask because on Sunday, it was actually Ben's idea. We had woken up at the crack of dawn, as usual, and he was like, You should vlog.

Oh, he's becoming such an LA creator.

Jackie, the Amy Winehouse level pushing that's going in my home, you have no idea. It just were mere moments away from Ben being on the streets. It was his idea, and it was true because we were having such an LA day. We spent so much time in the car, and I really did want to vlog it. I won't spoil too much, but if you're curious about what life is like in LA, a lot about Ruby schedule in there, too. We went to the Cheesecake Factory. We went to Josh Peck's Son's birthday party. It was like, so LA.

Were there other celebrities there? Check it out.

I took you a really good question. I want to say no, besides for Josh. It was the first time seeing Josh in person since I saw his sex scene.

Did it change things?

I actually couldn't look him in the eyes.

That's fair. That feels right.

I had to wear glasses.

Are you loving the Angelian lifestyle?

Well, no. I'm not hating it, which is huge for me. Yeah. There's definitely things that have merit. We went to Aarwan. We went to Aroan.

What did you think about Aroan?

It's just a grocery store, and it's just a fancy... It's like a Butterfield, or the kosher grocery is very similar. They have just better produce than your average and fancier, more expensive brands. Of tortilla chips. That part wasn't Earth-shattering. I think what people really go there for is it's like a restaurant. There's a hot bar.

Like the prepared foods.

There's a coffee bar. The prepared foods.

There's hot, there's cold. Prepared foods, greater than other foods.

I agree. You You know how I like my food? Prepared.

That's what's so great about the Hamptons. We go there for two months for prepared food provisions. People need to start preparing more food.

Agreed. I happened to have a celeb spotting at Eruan in the prepared food section. I saw Bri and Nicki Bella.

Fun.

Yeah, they were so Bre and Nicki. Do you know what I mean? Nicki was glammed out to the gods. Her hair was long and huge, and she was wearing a full face, and Bre was wearing a flannel. You would never know that Bre was famous if they weren't together. They're package unit. We went to the prepared food section. We got lunch. We've actually been now twice. Ben also went back for the juice bar. They have their smoothies and things. It was good. It was good. It's just food. Do you know what I mean? I don't know what I was expecting, like magic.

When we went to Round Swamp this summer, we were blown away.

I wasn't blown away.

You are capable of being blown away.

Okay. What was impressive about it is it's just really organized. You should see how many people work there back in the hot food section. They know. We went on a Friday at noon. Bad idea. It was lunchtime. Their offerings are vast. I got, and I took a video, but I forgot to post it. I got these Asian-y noodles. Fucking amazing. I love that. That was the thing I got that I was like, I'm not going to eat. The mac and cheese. It's hard to fuck up mac and cheese. No.

Then I also- But people get too big for their riches.

It can be done. Yes, it absolutely can be done. Then I also got the chicken fingers, which were so bad. I was shook Because chicken fingers are so easy. It's actually hard to mess up chicken fingers. And then Ben was like, I thought it was weird that you got the chicken fingers. I'm like, Why is that weird? He was like, Because they were turmeric chicken fingers. I was like, What? He's like, Did they taste weird at all? I'm like, No. And they actually didn't taste like turmeric. I didn't like them because there was a weird taste. They were just plain and really subpar. He was like, Yeah, I thought it was really weird that you chose the turmeric chicken fingers. And that is weird.

If you and Ben were a dish, you'd be the turmeric chicken fingers.

I love that.

It's really beautiful. And it's not tasty.

It's not tasty. It was just like, very meh. So all that to say, I think what's most impressive about Eruan, it's this big grocery store that's really clean. Everything on the shelves is fresh. They're always in stock. It's just a beautiful place. I don't think so much what they offer is unique. Okay. And I just want to say, as somebody who frequents the Whole Foods Hot Bar quite a bit, it's also really good. I don't know. I think they just display things really nicely. It's so LA. Speaking of LA, I've made an observation. I said to Ben, I'm like, We are the only fat people here. It is not a chubby city. Of course, when I said that to Ben, we were walking in the street, and then we saw eight fat people on a row. But it was just like...

Plants. Industry plants.

Nobody here is fat. Everyone here is actually so skinny.

That's good. It's a healthy city.

It's just a bad place to hate yourself. It's a bad place to be in when you're struggling.

That I understand. But I think that should be a credit to LA that it's a healthy town. Yeah, lots of inspo. I guess people could be skinny and not healthy.

Very true. Not you being toxic yet again. I mean, are we surprised?

No, but you could also be healthy. But they also just live a healthy lifestyle out there. But they're also all on drugs, so it's like, Are they healthy? I don't know. It's so true. Have you been doing drugs?

I haven't started doing drugs yet, and that's because I'm breastfeeding. Once I'm done breastfeeding, I will get on the drugs. I also haven't seen any drugs. You know what I mean?

Oh, so you're not really in it yet.

No, I feel like I'm hanging out with the right people. No, I feel like I'm hanging out with the right people.

You need to be at Chateau Marmont.

Doing drugs?

Yeah. Totally. How about you?

How was your long weekend?

My weekend was nice. Really another relaxing weekend. We really can't take on too much, but I did something really special for Jack's self, and I got a prenatal massage. Massage. Let me tell you, I'll be getting another one and another one, and another one. It was really wonderful to just relax in that manner. I felt very relaxed. Usually, by the time the massage is done, If they're futzing and I'm like, Okay, are we done? Please, I'm ready to go. I was so sad to see it end. They just drag you out of there. Yeah. Actually, when I sat up, they expect that I'm going to move slowly. When I sat up, I checked my phone, and then I just forgot where I was. I'm just on my phone. I think the woman outside the door was like, Are you okay in there? Because I just forgot that I have to get up from here.

Was it one of those where they had the hole in the bed or you laid on your side?

No, I laid on my side in a gorgeous pillow. If it was a hole in the bed, I couldn't go for a hole in the bed. One time, I got a hole in the bed prenatal, and it was too much. I was light-headed.

One time, I got a hole in the bed prenatal massage when I was in Miami. When I tell you, I actually outwardly moaned at one point. I don't know if I was just so excited to be being rubbed or laying on my stomach for the first time in months. It was the most amazing experience of my life. But I do think you're too pregnant. I think so, too. I was five months pregnant.

I remember feeling lightheaded. It was an amazing massage. It was very immersive, but it was almost too much. I don't want to reach that level of relaxation. I just want a vibe, and that's what I had in my massage, which was really great. But then afterwards, I had a doctor's appointment, and something a little startling happened because- It's crazy to go from a massage to a doctor's appointment. Claudia, I was leading a life of regret. I didn't realize. It should be the other way around. I know. I didn't realize what I had done, but it was already like, books. I don't want to call someone and move it. I guess I'll be going to my doctor's appointment. Sometimes at this doctor, the doctor gives you a piece of paper that you give to the front desk that says when you need to come back and just some info about you. At the bottom, there are a bunch of conditions, and there were a couple of circles circled, and I saw that obesity was circled. I didn't have a lot of time because I was handing it in. I looked at what the other circle was, and it was cervical incompetence, which I do have, which means- Which we know to be true.

Right. Which means obesity I do have.

I just think, honestly, because obviously, I relate to this in a deep sense. They told me I was obese in my sixth week postpartum appointment, which is technically true. I was obese in my sixth week postpartum I don't think, medically, scientifically, or judicially, you can categorize a pregnant woman as obese. Even if she was obese before, you can't. Yeah.

No, I Now I'm excited for my next appointment because I want to read what- Have some follow-up questions. Yeah, because it's like, is it history of? But then they're saying, I was once obese? That's not any better.

But I don't think you have a history. I don't think you have a history.

Maybe it's family history, but I don't have a family history.

Oh, now you're throwing me under the bus.

It's like, Sister that you work with.

You're such a bitch.

No, but I don't have a family history of cervical incompetence. So it's like, I need to get back in there. I need to see what this shit said.

One thing about me, I learned when I was pregnant- It left me very on edge because you know I've been on a health journey.

I'm feeling very snatched.

Yeah. One thing, if anyone here is pregnant or new to the pregnancy journey, if they give you a sheet at the doctor's office, do not look at it. Whatever you do, do not look at it. It might have your weight on it. It might have a condition called obesity on it. Do not do it.

Now I'm just on the edge of my seat. What was that? She's counting down the minute. When I handed it in to the retribution, I was like, Am I obese?

She was probably like, Oh, sweetie, this isn't for you. This is someone else's.

She was like, No, no. She said that? Yeah, she was like, No, no. You're obese.

I'm obese. That's what a liar says.

Of course, I'm obese. Might as well have circled- You're pregnant. Might as well have circled pregnant.

No, they really need to do better with the vernacular.

Yeah. So that was just a little destabilizing.

I'm so sorry that that happened to you. I'm validating you. That is wrong.

Yeah. So I'm just seeking stability. Just when I thought I was crushing it.

I do want to say you look amazing. I have thought that now for many weeks that you just are crushing it. So don't listen to what those... What the hell do those doctors I just know anyway. Please.

Haters are my motivators.

Doctors are such haters. Do you feel that?

I do. But I so respect them because they operate...

At such a high level.

No, and under a series of facts.

Yeah. It's like we very much operate in the field of feelings, and they very much exist within the realm of straight facts.

Like the numbers are what they are.

You're fat.

You're You're big. It is what it is. And your dogs are gay.

Your dogs are gay. Now, we do have a great show for everyone today. Stories are a plenty because we had the three-day weekend. And it's Tuesday, which means DTQ. Deer Toaster's community is going to be fed this evening.

Also, if you want to be extra fed and be obese, Deer Toaster's community. Oh, yeah. Zack and I recorded a Deer Toaster's Patreon episode together, relationship-themed Deer Toaster's. It's amazing. It comes out on Patreon this week. As soon as I feel the itch, people are itching for it, I'll drop it.

You guys itch, itch.

It was honestly so funny. We had a blast. We should give advice more often. We were hysterical.

How is the state of your marriage after recording an episode with your husband? Because I know how difficult that can be on a family.

Never better, which is so crazy. It's like, I do dread recording with him, but sometimes you've got to. But it could be very stressful, especially when I'm in charge and your microphone is moving and you're responding with silence or you're responding with a nod. You know what I mean? No, but we were really connected. Oh, that's where Connect 3 connected. We were just being so funny. A lot of Oh my God, really? Funny facts. Yeah, because people were writing in about stuff that's so real.

Yeah.

So real. So that's coming up on Patreon. Claudia's blog's on Patreon. There's just plenty content.

Plenty to chew on.

For a fatty.

For a fatty such as yourself.

Okay, well, let's get into everything because we have a lot. We've been an awful lot, and now we need to chew it. Without further, a do, do, do, do. Here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know.

That's all I'm going to That's all that needs to be said.

Our first story, some sad news. Diane Keaton. Oh my God. Diane Keaton, Fame for Roles in Father of the Bride, First Wives Club, and more, dies at the age of 79. Over the weekend, it was announced that Diane Keaton passed away. Her rep said there are no further details available at this time, and her family has asked for privacy in this moment of great sadness. The LAFD confirmed to people that they responded to her home at 08: 00 AM local time, and transported a 79 year-old woman to the hospital.

I didn't know we had to be on the lookout for Diane Keaton. What we're just talking about, like older celebrities, like the Betty White effect, where we're just waiting, hoping, wishing, praying. Diane Keaton wasn't on my list because I guess in a technical sense, she's 79. She's eternally 57.

Yeah. She had such a youthful spirit.

She had such a youthful spirit, even though it's really crazy when you look at her breadth of work and the things she's been in because I guess she is or was She was 79. She was in The Godfather, and she was so young. She was in all those Woody Allen movies. She was so young. She has had such... What do you think is the best Diane Keaton movie?

Oh, my gosh. What I would say is not what the- The world. The world would say, but my favorite Diane Keaton movie? Let me think. What's yours?

Mama said there'd be days like this. There'd be He's like this Mama. Mama said, Mama said. Because I said so with Mandy Moore and Piper Paribot and Lauren Graham and Gabriel Macht from Suits. No. Best fucking movie.

Morning Glory. Oh, my God. Wait. That just made me extra sad.

Me too. Oh, my God. I didn't realize. For those who don't know, the reason Jackie and I are sitting here today is because of the movie Morning Glory. I forgot. She's hilarious. We're always quoting her in that one line. Today on the show, we've got Céline Diane's personal chef. Oh, my God. Wait, that's devastating. One thing about Diane, she had fucking taste. She had a good picker. She knew what to pick when it came to roles.

Bangers. Other people might know her from Father of the Bride, the Godfather. Something's Got to Give. Book Club, First Wives Club, which Claudia and I did try to get into late in life, and it was just not holding up.

I have a lot of negative thoughts and feelings about First Wives Club, and then the way people talk and treat that movie. But given respect for the deceased, I won't bring it up.

It's not the time. It's not the time. It's not the time for the dragging of First Wives Club. I hope you understand.

Will you let me know when it is the time? Because I'm ready.

Next time, that movie comes up on the show. It could be tomorrow, but it cannot be today.

No, I'm devastated. I really am. It's hard to compare her to anyone. Somebody who really had such an impact on many generations of women. I feel like everyone's mom has the Diane Keaton movie that they love, and then every millennial has one. Nancy Byers wrote such a lovely tribute because, of course, something's got to give us up there for the best Diane Keaton movie. I was shocked.

Yeah, me too. Shocked and saddened.

Do you remember when Kyle Richards accused her of stealing her mother's ring. No. That was a crazy story. You don't remember that? No. I think when Kyle's house got robbed, she lost this beloved ring that belonged to Kyle Richard's mother. Then two years later, Diane Keaton posted a picture of her hands on Instagram, and she a thousand rings. Kyle Richard was like, Diane Keaton, that's my mother's ring. Diane Keaton was like, What the fuck are you talking about? I bought it at a flea market. It was this weird- Maybe she could have bought this stolen ring. No, Diane Keaton was like, I've had this ring for 30 Oh, oh, oh. I don't think Diane Keaton appreciated the insinuation that she was a thief.

That's weird.

It was one of those very strange celebrity crossover moments.

I didn't even recall it.

I I don't want to harp on this too much because this show is a beacon of light and positivity, but I'm really sad. I didn't know she was struggling with any health issues, and she will go down in history as one of the greatest actresses of our time. I feel like she actually... I know this is going to sound crazy. I feel like she doesn't get enough credit, even though she's the most beloved. Because everybody's always like...

Meryl Streep. Yeah, Jackie.

I did not want to bring Meryl Streep into this.

Yeah, because we don't have to break down another woman. But But just for comparison's sake, we do. Diane doesn't get her flowers because she's constantly overshowed by more serious older actresses as well. People think that you just have to be so serious in order to be respected. But Diane Keaton was keeping it fun and keeping it light. I just feel like she didn't get the respect she deserved. But I feel like in this moment, we're all coming together and realizing Diane Keaton did great things for this world.

Have you ever seen the movie Baby Boom?

I think I have.

It's an amazing Diane Keaton movie that I watched so randomly a couple of years ago. I don't know if it's her biggest movie, and I think it was just at a time after The Godfather, when she was super young and she was just making movies after movie and hit after hit. It's this great movie about this working gal. It's actually very relevant. Working girl who finds herself pregnant, and she's like, Oh, my God, what am I going to do? I don't want to spoil it, and I also don't remember, but I remember being deeply moved by it.

I remember that I've watched it and I liked it.

It's a great film.

Yeah. Take the time to watch a Diane Keaton film.

Much like all of Diane's.

A Diane Keaton film, maybe it's Morning Glory, but I would have felt remiss to not make it a story. I know we don't typically harp on like, Slap Dead, but I feel like she needed a moment.

She needed a moment. I very rarely utter these three words in a serious Serious Sense. But as a woman, Diane Keaton is important.

Oh, I thought you were going to say these three words, Rest in peace.

Well, of course I want her to rest in peace.

But we don't usually say that.

I prefer to say, RIP.

We don't usually say it in a serious sense. I thought for sure that's what you were about to say.

I could see how that would be incredibly misleading. I apologize. But no, I was saying as a woman.

Then what did you say after that?

Diane Keaton was important to us. She was a big figure. She will be missed.

Yeah, she will be. Are you ready for our next story? Taylor Swift is bringing six episode, Eras Tour documentary and final show concert film to Disney+ in December. There. Laird announced that she had an announcement, and the announcement was that she has a six-part docuseries about the Eras Tour called Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour: The End of an Era that will premiere on Disney Plus on December 12th, accompanied by the simultaneous release of a new concert film, Taylor Swift, The Eres Tour, The Eres Show, which was shot at her tour finale in Vancouver, BC. This is significant because this will include the Tortured Poets Department of the show, whereas the Eres Tour version that's right now on Plus does not include TTD. Very good, Jackie. The six-part docuseries, the first two episodes will come out on December 12th, and then the other ones will come out at a later date.

I didn't even know that. Thank you. When I saw Taylor was releasing an announcement on GMA, I'm not going to lie, I did not get excited. The Queen loves to be like, I have an announcement. Another CD.

Shiny Bug. I don't know if you could tell, but I'm pretty scarred by shiny Bug because I was this summer riding that high of New Heights to low us announcement, engagement. Oh, my God. I was on an emergency live episode. Couldn't be more excited. Then there's a countdown. Shiny Bug.

What's shiny Bug? I don't even know what you're talking about.

She did all those vinyls. One of them was the Life of the Show, Girl, the shiny bug, blah, blah, blah, blah, It's an album.

Got it. When I saw that was a GMA announcement, I did not guard my loins. I honestly was just prepared to be disappointed. I was not staying up to listen or whatever. Then when I was seeing the first announcement come out, I was like, Oh, the Ares tour is coming out, but this time it's a documentary with the TTPD. I'm like, Oh, that's nice. I don't know if that's a GMA announcement, but great. Then I saw the 6 Episodes things. I'm like, This, this is something I'm looking forward to.

I'm glad that she recorded the behind the scenes. It was a major moment. I feel like there's more Travis is there. Content to pull from it.

Oh, yeah. I mean, we only know the life of a showgirl, the front-facing show that we've all seen a million times. But I really do find it interesting what goes on back stage behind the curtain of the biggest tour of all time. Then, of course, what's going on in her personal life simultaneously is even more interesting. I think that this is great. I love a docuseries. Taylor has done docu-style content before, Miss Maricana, which was good. I'm excited.

Two things. One, I just sent you shiny bugs, so take a look. I didn't just pull it out of my arse.

No, I believe you.

Yeah. Then the second thing I was going to say, I'll wait until I have your full attention for this one. This one's an on-brand with Jimmy Fallon idea.

Where'd you send it?

Dm.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry, I should have made that clear. We have multiple channels of communication.

Shiny bug vinyl, okay.

What?

Yeah, I don't know.

She should have called this, even though the end of an arrow is good, she should have called it The Showgirl and worked it into Tiloas. Because actually this documentary should have been called The Life of a Showgirl because this is about the behind the scenes of the show, which is what she said Life of a Showgirl is about.

Yes.

Having said that- The Life of a Showgirl documentary.

No brainer. I prefer to Loas.

No brainer.

One thing about Taylor, and I love her, she's not good at naming things. She loves to have a million parentheses. Even Taylor Swift, The Ares Tour, The Ares Show.

Taylor's version.

It should just be called Ares. Acoustic. She loves a lengthy title with parentheses, commas, semicolons.

Your worst nightmare. Oh, except for commas. You like commas, too.

I do.

You really do. This one has lines.

Oh, and Taylor was at the game yesterday. She didn't do her big fancy walk, but they They got her in the suite, the camera.

She was seen in the box, which confirms the fact that she wasn't seen for a month because of her plastic surgery, allegedly. But that just feels very obvious now. I caught a little bit of the game. The Chiefs won. I couldn't stay up that late. But Travis was like, Okay, I don't know. I think it's time to retire.

I know. It's like he didn't want to retire because he wants to come back and win this season. He spent a whole offseason in Florida with this fancy Pargie trainer, and he's coming back better than ever. He's the best shape he's ever been, and he's just playing really not good. There's young, hot things on the team who do his job, but better. I just feel awkward.

I feel awkward. I also feel like Patrick is doing the best he can for him and still giving him, trying to give him moments and stuff. But at a certain point, he can only do so much for his friend.

Patrick has to balance being the quarterback of a team that has other things going on besides Travis, while also his friendship with Travis and wanting to throw Travis the ball. But Travis, if I throw you the ball, are you going to catch it?

No. And it's like, if he doesn't throw Travis the ball, is Taylor going to be mad at him? Take it out on Brittany.

Take it out on Brittany, right.

I feel like there's a lot of dynamics at play, and it's holding Travis Patrick back.

Yeah, I agree. Like the toxic friendship.

Yeah.

I have felt that, too.

Anyways, we'll catch you for the documentary. That's exciting. Oh, yeah.

I'll be tuning in.

Yeah. Our next story is some new couple news that I don't know if you've heard yet because I just heard it for the first time. It's very new. Two Dates in Two Nights between John Mayer and Kat Stickler.

I did see this on Dumois, but then I saw everybody in the comments dispelling it. No, she just hard launched her boyfriend on social media. I don't know what's true, and I don't know what's not.

Okay, yeah. No, this is from Dumois, but they were seen going on.

Then Dumois was responding to comments like maybe her and John are friends. Like, which is it?

Did I get got?

She's been sneakily hinting that she's been I've been seeing someone for a while.

But I don't think that this is it because this seems like they just went on a date, and it was really good. So they went on a second date. No.

Then she hard launched him. He was in the video.

Can you just go look on TikTok? I'll look on Instagram. Yeah, of course.

But look at what am I looking for?

A boyfriend.

I guess it's possible that they broke up, and then she went on a date with John Maher, but I don't know. She finally put him in. Is it her videos?

You would break up with him to go on a date with John Maher, wouldn't I actually wouldn't.

Not to make everything about me, but I have moved off of my crush on John Maher. I still would go out with him just for the story, and I could probably let him kiss me.

You'd let him. You're so generous.

Okay, let me see.

I want to just roll with this on the odd chance that it's real.

I'm not saying that it's not true.

Do you ship?

It's not that I don't ship. I don't know if it's true. But again, I think there are a lot of who keep up with Kat stickler and are obsessed with who she's dating and are either freaking out that she's dating someone new or they shame her for introducing a man to her kid without... She gets so much hate. I actually don't know if they're dating. I feel like Jamal doesn't know either.

Is it because that you took Jason's side in the breakup?

That's a good question. I actually didn't take Jason's side in the breakup because, and I mean this with love, I don't You don't just find yourself having a wall up because being team Jason. I actually do find myself having a wall up, but that's just because I love walls.

Yeah. I love your wall contractor.

The thing is with John Mayer is you really can't... Even if he was dating someone you love, you can't get excited about him. He's this eternal bachelor. It's not fun. I actually gave up hope on John Mayer after Katie Perry because to me, there was so many girls up until that point that really could have been the girl for him. Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Anaston, and after Katie Perry, who I really believe is the one that got away for John Mayer.

Yeah.

It's hard to get excited and invested in his dating life. It's such a fruitless, unhappy endeavor.

Well, considering we don't have much to say about this for a multitude of reasons, speaking of Katie Perry, Yes. Do you see her? Do you see Mr..

Trudeau- Grab-assing her on a client.

A hand full of ours of Katie Perry?

I did. Also, it's worth mentioning because I think we did not say this the last time we talked about Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau. Huge, important, just small detail. Justin Trudeau is actually not the active Prime Minister of Canada. Him being on a boat in California with an ass full of Katie Perry is technically okay with me because it's not like he has a job he should be doing.

He's separated from his wife.

Oh, separated.

Yeah. I do think you should wait till it's final to be grabbing ass. And not just like, grabbing ass, but because you're in a bathing suit, it's skin.

It's a lot of ass.

It's skin to skin.

And this does feel like a historic event in the sense that I cannot think in recent memory of a similar example where a politician has been caught with a celebrity grabbing ass.

Oh, I don't know about caught grabbing ass, but there have been a couple of politicians who have been with celebrities for real. Who? Carla Bruni.

And?

Nicolas Sarkozy.

Actually, okay, yeah. Also, Sheryl from Larry David.

That's a great comparison.

Thank you. Even though it's different because- It proceeds. Right. Their marriage proceeds his candidacy, whereas Justin Trudeau is an established politician. They're There is no- Oh, Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson. Yes. Very good example.

And they would never be caught like this.

And if they did, it would be inappropriate. Do you know what I mean? I'm sorry if that's not okay to say, but this is inappropriate. Not to be such a prude, clutching my paroles, but it's like, You're the Prime Minister of Canada for crying. It's not even like, You're the Prime Minister of somewhere sexy. It's Canada.

Yeah.

What are you doing, bro?

Yeah. Like, put your code on.

What are you doing? Yeah. It's like a little... What's this, a boot?

Yeah. It's a shame, though, because it could be really exciting. There's potential for excitement. It just doesn't hit for me in the way that I think they intended, and that they thought it right.

Correct.

Which I think seems to happen with Katie Peri a lot.

Well, therein lies the issue. Even though she's been real quiet. Wait, can we talk about JLo?

What about? What a boot.

We talked about that movie premiere that she went to with her man, X-Man.

The Kiss of a Spider Woman.

The Kiss of a Spider Woman opened this past weekend with $1. 5 million in ticket sales, a record low. Then all these pop craved Twitter accounts. That literally, celebrities just pay these accounts to say stuff about them and promote their new music. It's like, Kiss of a Spider, Death with JLo has early Oscar buzz. No, it doesn't.

No, it doesn't.

Then this video of her going viral is going viral of her rehearsing. Have you seen it? No. She's in her house with her vocal coach, and she's singing this big note. She's not botching it, but it's so average. So average. Bitch. And then she's so self-righteous, and the vocal coach is clapping like, Yes, things you did. Yes, you're that bitch. It is so cringe because the vocal performance she delivers prior to everybody clapping for her is so mediocre. She's just like, the JLo hate. I could feel it like it's rising. She's getting clowned on for this movie and then the video.

Okay. Well, I don't want to pile on. I also- So we'll just move on. I'm not interested.

Yeah, I'm into it.

Are you ready for our next story?

Number? Four. Yeah.

Peace on Earth. Historic peace was brokered this weekend between Lauren Conrad and Kristen Cavalari.

I was like, Wait, that's actually crazy. She's making the story.

Especially the fourth story, like World Peace.

I was just genuinely confused. A plus delivery. Let me just tell you that.

A plus. Thank you so much. World Peace is the fourth story.

World Peace is the energy of the week. So it makes sense that LC and Kristin Cav got back together.

Yeah. Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavalari squashed years long feud with a Laguna Beach reunion photo. They didn't give us much, but they posted a picture together, and Kristen said, Everyone can put away their team Lauren and team Kristen shirts now.

That's all. I don't know how to break it to Kristen Cavalari. Nobody has a team Lauren or team Kristen shirt. Nobody really cares anymore.

Kristen is about to start doing rewatch for The Hills. I know that when she did Back to the Beach, they had Lauren on. That was the bearing of the hatchet. It was such a healing episode. It was huge. It was huge. Also, it was so good to see them come together. To talk about this beef and each of their POVs. At this point, people love both of them, regardless of what side you were on back in the day. That we can root for both of our faves now is really exciting.

Yeah, and it feels fair because at the time, it was just everyone against Kristen Cavalari. Then if you rewatch it as an adult, which I think a lot of people did, you're like, My God, Lauren's fucking insufferable, and she's so rude. Sorry, Kristen's the fun one. Kristen's the one who's more sympathetic when you rewatch it through adult eyes. I do feel like things It's like, leveled out.

Yeah. I hope now in life, they have much more in common than they have not in common.

They're both moms, business owners.

Yeah, similar business, both really successful. There's enough space for all of us. I'm happy to see that they're friends.

Do we know the context in which they got together?

No, that's the thing. Maybe Lauren's going on her podcast to do a Little Hills recon, but they were never on the Hills at the same time. The episodes that Kristen is watching, I don't even think Lauren's in them.

Yes, they were when they were both dating Steven.

That's OC Laguna Beach.

Oh, wait, sorry. Kristen Cavalier is rewatching The Hills?

Yes. Like, later in the Hills, after Lauren left, they brought Kristen on. She's rewatching those episodes.

With Brody, right.

Recapping Justin Bobby and Ardrina. But I don't think Lauren was ever on when she was on, so I don't know if they're going to recap it together.

Right. I'd have a hard time. Imagine them getting together for social purposes. If it's not a podcast or a rewatch or something. But I'd also have a hard time believing that Lauren would do another. Like, her going to back to the beach was so crazy, so big. It was going to be the first and last time she ever, ever discussed any of it, right? Yeah. I don't know. I can't see her doing it twice.

Then it was just her funny. It looks like they're in a house.

Yeah, it looked like a party. It definitely was giving like, Elsie's house.

You think so?

Yeah, it looked like very cottage core. Oh, Nara Smith had her baby.

I saw.

Fawney.

There's a step stool right here, I just feel like, and a white trash can. No, it's not Elsie's house.

Okay, not the white refrigerator.

It looks like a rental.

Okay. Not the rental.

Yeah. No, but a nice one. Sorry to whoever your home this is, but you could have put the steps all the way for this iconic picture of world peace. Nobel Peace Prize. Whoever's house it is nominated for the Nobel.

Kylie Jenner is promoting a new Kylie Cosmetics campaign called the King Kylie Collection, hailing back to the days of your of King Kylie. For her new campaign for Kylie Cosmetic, she's throwing it back to the days of teal blue hair and Snapchat. It's a makeup collection about King Kylie era. If you were there for King Kylie era, that sentence makes- It was lots of color, crazy lips, teal hair. If you were there for it, what I just said makes sense. If you weren't, then I don't know how to explain it any better than that.

Honestly, this was the era that Kylie was living in that really launched her billion dollar beauty brand. She was doing these crazy eye looks, these crazy lip colors. She would wear teal hair. She wore teal hair to Kim and Kanye's wedding. Kim famously hated it. This was that rebellious teen that launched this huge brand. That was also really the vibe, esthetically, back in the day. People were really into this color, wow, just crazy big palettes, very Jeffree Star. The beauty industry has moved on from that. It's much more clean girl esthetic. Everything's nude and shimmery now. On the one hand, I'm happy that Kylie, specifically, Kylie Cosmetics, is doing something that people are talking about because the brand really has, I feel, been struggling to make a splash recently. But the fact that what they're making a splash with is something old and silly, and this is a memorabilia type thing, it doesn't bode well.

Yeah. A A couple of times over the last 10 years, she's thrown it back to King Kylie. It's always like she'll put on a wig and she'll be like, King Kylie. We're like, yeah. But now, clearly, a lot of money and time and resources have been invested into a King Kylie collection. I know you guys know I love everything Kylie does. I love her so much. I love Kylie Cosmetics. I love your lips kits, Kylie, still. I think that they really work for me in this life. This is a no for me, dog.

I completely agree. I actually could not muster up one positive thing to say about this. I don't care. Even the video of her singing and then the Snapchat thing. I literally don't care. Oh, yeah.

There's a song, and it's also a partnership with Snapchat. I guess Snapchat was germane to the King Kylie process. Yes, era. As one of Kylie's biggest fan is like, none of this is doing anything for me.

I know. I'm waiting to feel something, but nothing's coming because I, again, don't care. It's a shame because I actually think Kylie Cosmetics, I don't know where they go from here because they do have some bomb products, but nobody cares. The skin tint I got over the summer is my favorite thing I've ever worn. The skin tints are really in right now, and there's so many Vialry ones, and the Kylie's is not there. I don't know how they get back in the game. I just really don't think going back to the thing that launched is going to work.

Yeah, but I also feel like aside from this, King Kylie, if this is their big stab at coming back, I think it's the wrong move in the wrong direction. Me too. I do feel like they actually don't try that hard. I wish they did. Right. You're saying The product is good, and I agree. It is. When I need new lipsticks, I go to kyliecosmetics. Com because I know I like the colors. I like the formula. The products are good. It's not even like she has to brand build in that sense. She just has to do some shit, influence her events.

She just needs to care a little bit more.

The way that Hailey Bieber is always, and not to pit women against each other. Selena. She does her cute videos. I really enjoy them.

Me too, it's stormy. But that's one bit of the piece of the puzzle. When it comes to being a celebrity founder in the beauty space, you have to be doing what? Selena, Haley, throwing these events, making content with influencers, doing the TikTok brand trips. She does none of that. I don't even know what they do. They don't do PR boxes. And if they do, they're not making waves because I do not see them. But the way that people are desperate to get their hands on the road PR, that's brilliant marketing. I don't think road has ever paid an influencer. But people are dying. One of my actual claim to fame is that I get the road PR. If I ever get taken off of it, I will know I'm seriously on the outs. I'm not cool anymore. It's a status symbol. Kylie has totally failed in that way. It just feels like she doesn't really care about the brand. And if that's the case, that's totally fine. Seriously, just put it out.

Is it because Cody owns 50% of it? She collects a check, no matter how it does, she does the same? I don't know.

I don't know. But it should be because she was one of the early ones before everyone, before Selena, before Haley. Kylie was the one who sold her company for a billion dollars and was the first girly of this gen to do it in a real big way. After that...

I just feel like the hardest part about being in the beauty industry is making good products that people actually need, and they have that.

Yeah, their products, I don't use all of them. I think a lot of their powders are not great, but I like her skin tin. I think her concealer went over really, really well. The packaging is cute. She's scaled back that hard, King Kylie, color, sharp vibes. But I don't know. She doesn't seem to give a shit.

But now she's giving a shit, and it's with this, and that's where... Now I have a red flag up. Before this, I was like, She's Kylie. She could care as much as she wants.

But now she's trying, and it's not good. Yeah.

That's the vibe. If you're excited about this, I'm happy for you. None of this did anything for me, and I love to bits.

We're always just waiting for her to do something.

She's putting out the videos and the promo videos and Chris picking her up from jail, and I'm good. I'm all set. Thanks.

Well, let's dive into Dear Toaster, our weekly advice segment, where every Tuesday, Jackie and I help out the swirleys in need. Write to us, deartoosters@gmail. Com, or head over to our website, thetoastpodcast. Com, to submit to us what's going on in your life at work, a relationship issue, a family issue, a bridesmaids issue. We cover all issues. We don't really care as long as it's good and interesting. If your submission has not been read on air, it might be too long. Feel free to send it in again. But just the need to know information. But it also might have not been read because it's not interesting. For that, I actually really can't help you. But congrats. Nobody wants interesting problems.

It's so true.

Speaking of interesting problems, our first one, I really don't know where to begin. Dear toaster, my parents, who were swingers, and previously in a thruple, are now getting divorced. My father has decided to stay with the woman that they were in the thruple with. My father and this woman are trying to plan family events while my parents divorce is not finalized under the false pretense that everything's totally normal. I'm not comfortable with this, but I've had many arguments with my father about how I'm not being fair to him by not accepting this arrangement right now. What would you do in the situation? Attend family events with my father despite my feelings or stick to my guns and not attend?

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you're going through all this. It's really hard for me to focus on what you're going through. When I'm thinking about your mom having her husband left for her for a woman that slept with as well.

Yeah, not to be such a bitch. I just think when you invite this chaos into your home, you really can't be shocked when something like this happens. Not at all blaming your mom. So my mind didn't go there. My mind went, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? I'm having a hard time putting myself in your shoes. First of all, what goes on in your parents' personal lives in their bed really is not your business. And I'm sorry that you even know about this because that's just hard. I don't think you're crazy for not wanting to hang out with your dad and his new girlfriend who also used to be your mom's girlfriend. I would stick your guns here. I'm actually speechless. I don't know.

I have all the crazy outcomes of this ill-faded relationship. Arrangement. You had events. It's just not registering for me.

Yeah.

Here's what I'm saying. But seriously, if you don't want to go, don't go. These people... Actually, I don't want to be judgmental.

No, you know what? Actually, I was just on TikTok watching Alex Earle. She's posting a lot. For Dedication Night, which is tonight, they are dancing for people who mean a lot to them and explaining. I thought Alex was going to be dancing with her sister Ashton, but she's actually dancing with her little sister Isabel, who was the first kid in their family born after Alex's father cheated on her mother with Ashley Duprey. Very famous situation. He ended up marrying Ashley Duprey, left his wife for Ashley, and then they had children together. Obviously, this was a traumatic thing for Alex. Her dad cheated on her mom, left her mom, and she was obviously not ever going to talk to her dad and his wife again. Then they had kids, and then that's her half-sibling. She's dancing for Isabel because Isabel, she says, really healed her family. We always talk about how their blended family is so crazy. That's really beautiful. I could never. I literally could never. She's dancing for her sister Isabel because they all loved Isabel so much. It literally healed the entire family. We always remark on how mature it is that Alex is so close with her stepmom and that they include Alex's mom and everything.

They really attributed it to the little sister. I don't know how that helps this girl.

Honestly, it just makes it worse because it's contending with the fact that your parents are splitting up, even an affair that's turned into a marriage, contending with all that's really hard. The thruple piece is Just throwing a wrench into everything. But I will say, you do you. You know what? At this point, the adults in your life have let you down.

It's true.

Do what's best for you. You don't owe anyone anything. You don't need to cut people off That's still your family. But if you don't want to go to everything and you don't want to try and make this work, you don't have to. You're grown. Do what feels right for you. Don't feel obligated to do all this stuff.

To our listeners, if you ever thinking of getting into some extracurricular marital activities, let this situation just be a lesson of a potential outcome. Is it worth it?

Yeah.

Next up. Hey, Swirlies. I What was your take on some major friend group drama? My husband and I have been part of this group for about five years, and a few weeks ago, a saga begun that has us all shook. We were at one of the couples' houses for a pool day. One of the kids slipped on the marble patio. Totally fine, no injuries at all. The dad/husband in our group, who's known for being a jokester, says, Uh-oh, we could sue. Harmless, right? At least that's what we thought. Apparently, the hosts did not think it was funny at all. In fact, they've since hired a lawyer, and they're now insisting that we all sign a legal waiver before stepping foot back into their home. They claim Everyone they ask totally agrees with them. But whenever I ask people if they think this is absolutely bananas, what do you guys think? Would you ever sign something like this just to keep hanging out at a friend's house? Or is this friendship just toast? Well, how nice is the pool? Do Is it really imperative that you get back into this house? Whether it just be like, you have a lot of fun there.

And of course, don't just sign it. Have someone look it over because you never know what they can be making you sign. Evaluate. How badly do you want to get back into this house? If it's so important to your social life that you be included in this group and that you love the house so much, then yeah, I would just figure it out if they're not going to let up. But it's certainly weird.

I'm here to validate you. It's certainly weird. I guess if it's going to Be detrimental to your life and your joy and your fun. Sign it because it's not like you were going to sue anyway, even if something did happen. But that's weird. That's where their minds went and they just couldn't take a joke, and now it's getting all legal. That just is a weird It's a weird dynamic now. Even if you sign it, it's a weird dynamic. If you don't sign it, then you're missing out on five years of friendship.

Although I do think you and the remaining four couples need to all align. Are you all signing it or are you all not signing it? There's strength in numbers, and where it will get murky is if certain people sign it.

Well, then they'll be... No, that just splits the group because whoever doesn't sign it won't be invited to these events.

Then it's not fun anymore. Then the group has officially broken up.

No, it's officially not fun anymore. It's Jersey Shore. It's officially not fun anymore. Well, of course.

But it's Jersey Shore. When they all band it together to get paid the same amount per episode, when they were renegotiating their contracts and they ended up getting a million dollars an episode. Did they all deserve a million? No. But there's strength in numbers. I would find out what the crew is doing and all agree to either do something together or not.

But also, you never said that this house is the best house out of all the houses and we can only go. How about someone else host?

Maybe they just isolate themselves, but it sounds like they have a leg to stand on. Maybe they have the best house. That was the vibe.

Marble tile.

Yeah, I just want to say the vibe I was getting was rich.

Yeah, like slip and slide, diving board. Outdoor kitchen. Yeah, summer kitchen, for sure.

It's giving decked out on the deck.

Yeah. You could sign it. I mean- Read it. Well, yeah. Have someone read it or a ChatGPT. Give it to Chat. At the very least- Don't waste money. No, no, no. If you're not going to have a lawyer look at it, if you're not going to, at least have chat look at it.

Upload it to chat.

But have a lawyer.

Okay, this third one is funny. Hi, I'm in a predicament, and I need your advice. I am a gay male toaster, and I recently matched with Artie from Glee on Raya. His name is Kevin McHale. I'm not really interested romantically, but I do want to ask him some questions about the show since I was a big fan. How do I proceed without being rude?

Okay, I first saw it as maybe you guys connect and you ask him these questions, and that could lead to more connection. But if you're really just using him to get answers about Glee, if you really don't think that you're open to any connection, you can't. Sorry.

If you're not open at all to any romantic connection, just listen to his podcast. He literally has a podcast where he talks about Glee. I feel like there's actually nothing that's a secret anymore. But if you're even open, and if you're such a big Glee fan, wouldn't you? I feel like you could and should be open to the idea of romantically linking. I would go on a date with him, if it turns out that you guys match and whatever, with an open heart and, of course, an open mind of questions.

I agree, and I think you can use your questions as a really good icebreaker and segue into learning more about each other. But if you are genuinely not at all interested and you're just there like a reporter, don't waste his time.

Agreed. That's rude to Kevin's self. Yeah. And also, not to make everything about me, I actually did go on his podcast. He literally has a podcast where he sits down with fellow gleeks. He loves when people are invested in the show. So I don't think you would be offending him at all. But again, only if it's under the guise of there being potential for something between you two.
