Transcript of I Love Your Cloud, Knicks: Tuesday, June 9th, 2026

Good morning, girlies!

It's The Toast. It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts.

It's your favorite show, the fast 5 things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's The Toast.

I sound amazing.

Welcome back to The Toast and happy Tuesday. More like happy lose day because we're just— yeah, I came up came up with that like on the fly. Oh wow, um, we're a bunch of losers.

Oh, Turdy, how's it going?

There's so much going on and I haven't really wanted to spoil it because I'm vlogging the whole thing for Patreon, but like I had this big plan. I was surprising Ben yesterday with tickets. I literally got priced out, like me and my measly budget like could not cut it whatsoever.

Did you put the budget in the vlog?

Like I said, Jackie wants me to be transparent, but like the thing is I don't believe in paid transparency. Like people on the internet are always like, you have to tell everyone how much you pay in rent and how much you made in money. Like no bitch, I fucking don't. Like I subscribe to the old school philosophy of money. No, you don't. It's none. Yeah, that's how much money I make. None.

Yeah, not so much. I'm not asking you how much money you make. I just like, it's interesting, the ticket. Everybody knows the tickets are so expensive, so I'm like, are you gonna share the dollars and cents?

I will. Okay, fine, I'll share it on the vlog. On the vlog.

I haven't in the vlog yet because, you know, like, you didn't even buy them, so no one can even judge you.

I know, but everyone is gonna judge me because they're like, you're cardboard, you're cardboard. And it's like, you're just cosplaying cardboard because you're over here considering spending 5 figures.

Like She's cardboard, but she's in love with her husband.

Yeah. I selfishly, like, one, I wanna go to— I have to get Ben a Father's Day gift, and this is literally the only thing in the entire world that he wants. It is the only thing. So we're working on tickets for Wednesday. It's all in the vlog. Hopefully the vlog ends with us at the game.

Like the whole vlog is like, oh, the vlog's going.

Okay.

So you still might drop 5 figures.

Yeah. The whole vlog is like, we're going, we're not going, we're going. Like, so nothing's happened in the vlog yet except for just like, you know, Turdie and BSC, which we love, which is why we're there, which is why we're in the vlog. We didn't go last night, but we went to like a Pargi viewing party at Crane Club, you know, it was like very elite. Oh, not us sitting next to former mayor Eric Adams, like it was seriously elite.

Oh, I was like sad for him that he wasn't at the game, you know, he would love that.

He would love that, but of course he can't be at the game, he'll be at like the most poppin' watch club, watch party, the members club, studded one. Yeah, um, he was there, you know, he did not look up from his phone for one second. I was like, what is going on on your phone? Like, watch the TV.

He should have been at the game.

I know, I was like, why he wasn't?

I know, like, nobody likes him and like he's a loser, but like, he's our loser.

I genuinely like, I miss him so much. Of course. You really like don't know what you have until it's gone. But you got till it's gone. And I think that's sort of like the general feeling with this like turnt mayor. Like he was a crazy mayor, but he was our mayor.

Like he was our crazy mayor.

And like, oh, speaking of crazy mayors, did you see Mike Bloomberg like literally getting tackled at the game last night? I did. Oh my God. Like there was so— first of all, it was abuzz with celebrities. I can't believe I wasn't there. Like, I'm like, whatever.

I know, but Kylie wasn't there. So like, it was obviously like not the one for the cool girls.

Yeah, it's true. Maybe the cool like billionaire bombshell are going on Wednesday.

Let me tell you, Kylie will be at the next one because Timothée is going to start to see her as the good luck charm.

Good luck charm. And also, um, and this is obviously like spoken like somebody who couldn't afford to get in, but like when I was seeing videos of all the street closures because Trump went, so they had to create like a Secret Service bubble. They closed 5 blocks east and west in Midtown. If you had a ticket for— so you had to like show your ticket to the barricade, walk 3 avenues. Like it looked like a nightmare logistically. So yeah, I'm glad I didn't go for that reason.

Yes.

I also got home at midnight. Like I'm so tired. I can't keep up with this. I need the fin— finals to end. Games that started at 8:45, like it's Excuse me, I'm a mother and a business owner. Like, it's not cool.

No, it's really late and it's kind of a bummer like for the kids 'cause I would love to have them watch some of the game, but to start at 8:45, like then it's just so late. And I did watch, so I start, I watched the beginning of the game. I watched the anthem, which was just so beautiful.

We have to talk about the anthem. So when they said the guy who's singing the anthem name, I'm like, oh wow, they couldn't get like a bigger name. It's such a big concert. And I know he's like big on Broadway, but like it's very niche New York, which I guess is the point. Oh my God, never been more wrong. I had chills. Like, let me tell you, that's up there. With the greats. Like, it was insane.

It was so amazing.

His name is Avery Wilson.

He's in The Wiz. Avery Wilson. He plays the Scarecrow in The Wiz.

Go check it out. So when they said he was in The Wiz, I was like, oh, it's going to be good.

And then I was like, oh, okay, that's why it's someone that we don't know. It's like someone from Broadway and New York City.

Like, Tori Kelly was doing it at the last game. Like, I thought we were getting like pop stars, but you know what, I've never been happy to be more wrong.

Yeah, they never go the obvious route, the, um, NBA.

Yeah. I'm just like, I'm, I'm sad for who's doing it tonight. Like, where's Jessica Vosk? You know, if we're sticking with the Broadway theme, I think we're trying to highlight, you know, New York City Broadway. Let's do that. I love that. Yeah. He was incredible. Like I had chills the whole time.

Yeah. So I started watching the game and I was like, okay, there's gonna be a lot of this. Like, I'm gonna go. Mm-hmm. I watched Love Island.

I watched Love Island.

Then I came back to the game and I watched like probably from like 10:15 to 11, but it was just getting very stressful. It was. And I was feeling stressed out and I was also feeling like, you know what? I preferred it when I would just wake up to good news. Like, I don't want to be in the weeds here. I feel like, I feel like I shouldn't be watching because like the one time I'm watching they're losing. Like I should just go back to my hole.

You think it's your fault?

Like a little bit, yeah.

So I watched with Ben and his crew of like Yellow Belly Brunson boys. Um, they take it so seriously. And I will say like if I was anybody else in the establishment, like I would have like hated them. They were just like acting like they were in the arena. I'm like, you guys, we're at like a nice place, can you stop? They were like ref, that's a foul! Like being so fucking crazy and like, timeout, timeout! I'm like, we're in a restaurant, like you can't talk like that. And I hate to be one of those people because I find like when I'm watching sports and then the next day I hear people like complaining about the calls, like it's like, well, your team lost and like you played worse. So I will say like our team lost and we played worse, but the odds were stacked against us. Like the refs genuinely giving deaf, dumb, and blind. Like it's so crazy. In the second half, like The Webenyamas had 24 free throws and the Knicks had 8, which means like only, you know, 4 fouls got called versus like 12. 4 divided. Thank you. Just like, and like Jalen Brunson got like deadass punched in the head and like nothing.

And then Jalen Brunson like touched someone's shoulder and it was a flagrant foul. So I hate to be like a ref complainer because it is giving sore loser, like you stink. And it's like, I am a sore loser. The Knicks played poorly. I'm holding space for two things. That's true. While also, like, it was totally rigged. They don't want the Knicks to sweep because they can't get the ad dollars.

Yeah, they don't. They need that. You know, I always say that, uh, you're right. Why have 4 games when you could have 7? That's 3 more games. That's hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising revenue.

Like, so the next game is on Wednesday. So now the series is 2-1. The first person to 4 wins. The next game is in New York, and then the next ones are back in Oklahoma. What were they? San Antonio? Yeah, thank you.

That's in Texas.

Yes, she's from Texas, I can tell by the way.

Also, like, he's too stepping around the room. Not to promote violence, like, because violence is never the answer, but don't they just need to like take out Webb and Yama?

You mean like injure?

Yeah, because it's the Knicks versus Webb and Yama.

So, you know, I was analyzing this game with Ben today because like I'm literally now like a girl who watches sports and loves beer. And I also— my sister Margo came last night and she drank a beer.

She actually got a beer, and she like, in a non-ironic way, and like, what were you doing? You were probably looking like so—

yeah, I know. I was like, I thought we're having cocktails. I ordered like a tequila soda with lime juice. Margo was like, um, what's your like light beer? She got like a Stella. And like, this is the crazier part, was that like all— because it was just me, Margo, and like all of Ben's friends. All of Ben's friends were like really inspired because they got like cocktails and they were inspired by Margo. They're like, you know what, that looks good, I'll also have a Stella. And then they had Stellas for the rest of the night. Were you seething?

Were you okay? That's your dream. I know.

Like so not like other girls.

That's your dream.

So I said to Ben this morning, it's really not, by the way, like the team versus Wembenyama. If I was that tall, I, I just wanna say I don't think he's that good. And maybe this is my only, like my first, I've only seen him play 3 games, but I've been wholly uninspired by him. And if he wasn't that tall, like he wouldn't be that good. Like his skills are not exceedingly amazing. He's just tall and a good player. You know what I mean? He's not like the best player ever who's also tall. Like if, if LeBron James was that tall, Like we'd be having a different conversation. Sorry, he's not LeBron James based on what I've seen.

Okay. So even if he weren't on the team, like they would still maybe win.

No, they do have an unfair advantage cuz like he's just there, you know? Yeah.

No, it's like, it's literally like a wall. Like at a certain point you can't get a shot off.

Yeah. Except that it's actually not like that. Like I thought it would just be moot. Like you're trying to play against like a giant.

Like the, it's really like not, he's like, well sometimes they have to like score the points when the giant's not there, when he's like still trailing from behind.

I just want to say, like, shout out to that other guy on the team, Castle, who's like literally so good, and all he does is live in Victor Wembenyama's shadow. Like, it's like Victor this, Wembenyama that, Wembenyama this, Wembenyama that, and it's like, what about Castle, who's like literally doing the most? Also, everyone on this team is like 21, 22 years old, which is like also not fair. Um, whatever, we're not letting it get us down because they're just like younger and sprightlier and like have so much energy.

But you know, with age, a lot of them nicks are like fathers. I know, but like you get better with age to a point, and then like there's a sweet spot and it's not 21.

No, I agree with that. So the next game is on Wednesday and like it's absolutely imperative that the Knicks win, and I do feel that they will, like with the Garden and like, you know, it was a lot of pressure this game, like, you know, the record and coming back to New York and the president and the mayor were there. Like, I get it, it's a like a— and they also like have not been playing their best, so I kind of feel like they needed to be humbled, quite frankly, because the last couple of games I thought they played worse but just like happened to have won. And I do feel like through great challenges, like, great opportunities arise. Like, it's a chance to be great.

Yeah.

And I'm, I'm kind of glad that they know what it's like to lose now. Like, once you only know winning and it's all good— like, Ben's friends were so drama in the car ride home. They were like, oh, I just miss— they talk about it so seriously. They were like, I just miss like when we were like living in a cloud, you know?

Oh my God.

Because I guess it's been like a dream. Like, they haven't lost a game in 12 games. Yeah.

So they've had like 12—

they were taking it for granted.

Yeah.

And Ben was like, you know, you guys, we were just like living in a cloud. It wasn't real. But they were like, but we love the cloud. Like, they were seriously being insane.

Oh my God.

Yeah, it was hilarious.

Oh my God. Well, honestly, I hope for the advertisers and for the lore that actually the Knicks win in 7, because that would mean they win at the Garden, right?

Um, so yeah, Game 3 is at New York, and then they go back for 4. Yeah, so 3, 5, and 7.

Wait, the next game is in New York, right? Yeah, 3 and 4.

Oh, that's 4, 4, sorry.

3 and 4, 5 and 6 in San Antonio, 7.

No, no, just 5, and then I think they go 2 there, 2 here, 1 here, 1 there.

So the Knicks in 6. So we need 6. I just want them to win like in New York because that would be cool, right?

Game 4 at Knicks, Game 5 at Spurs, Game 6 at Knicks. Game 7 at Spurs. So they just alternate now.

Knicks and Sixers. And that rhymes, I like it. Yeah, Knicks and Sixers. Knicks and Sixers. Tell Ben, everyone get on it.

Or 5, like if they want to win in San Antonio, sure.

Let's get a couple hundred mil more.

100%.

And like, and prolong this feeling.

Yeah, although I will say the city definitely has like a deflated energy to it. Remember yesterday I was like, everyone's walking on a cloud? Well We're not in the cloud anymore according to Ben and the Brunson Boys. And you could tell there's just sort of like a weird energy. We feel awkward. Like we hyped up this game. People spent like literally, I think the minimum get was like probably an average of $6,000 a ticket and we lost. That's also a lot of pressure to put on the players. Like working class people put, even though it's not the working class people. I didn't know. I really did not understand like how rich people in New York are until they, like they, cuz it's not like working class people selling their cars. Like it's literally just people who can afford it.

Yeah.

It's— I didn't realize like how many rich people lived here, or like were Knicks fans.

You're saying the median price was $6,000?

I don't know what, what the statistic is, but yeah, I don't—

that sounds low. I don't know, maybe because I kept seeing like—

you think it sounds low?

Yeah, I kept talking about average. I know, I kept seeing them like $200,000. Like if you want to go sit in the nosebleeds, it's $10K.

Like people bought tickets like 3 weeks ago, and yeah, it was like a little bit of a spectacle. But as it came down, let's see Knicks Game 3 ticket average.

I do think also this will make Wednesday night's ticket a little cheaper because if, if it had not—

like a final game.

Yeah, yeah. So that's good for you and the cardboard.

The average sold price for a ticket as of Monday morning was $7,600. Wow, that was a good guess by me. Mhm. So yeah, that's a lot of pressure too. Like people who like are lifelong Knicks fans, people who saved up for this, I understand like why they buckled under the pressure. So I'll give them this loss, but like actually It's just not okay.

Yeah, no, I think they're gonna come back stronger, really. And it's not like they lost the whole series, like, it's okay.

Yeah, even though if they had won it, like, it would have been over, you know?

And it just would have been like so iconic. Everyone was like ready for so iconic. Everyone was ready for a win.

Well, Kylie should, you know, get Kylie Air all fueled up because she's definitely like has something to do with it.

I agree. They're like, maybe they like so many celebrities courtside. So many celebrities.

Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan.

Mhm.

Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Christopher Maloney, and Stabler and Benson. They sat together, which is like so New York. Oh, I didn't see him. Chris Rock. A lot of like Knicks legends.

Yeah, yeah.

A lot of like New York athletic legends as well.

It was star-studded, but it wasn't like super swirly, I would say.

Ben Stiller. No, it was not super— it's never super swirly.

Yeah, it's like everyone's excited about all these people and they, they're not people that excite me, you know. It's like really traditional, traditional celebrities.

This was a lot of businessmen like Robert Kraft, I think Michael Rubin, you know, like the sports billionaires. Yeah, not a whole lot of influencers.

Hate to see it. No, that— you do hate to see that. That's what I'm there for, the influencers.

So stay tuned, the vlog is coming, and hopefully I am too. Like, I would love to be there. We will be there Wednesday, come hell or high water.

We're rooting for you. We don't judge however much you spend. Treat yourself. You card— I judge. I You cardboarded so long for this.

You think? Yeah, but then I think about all the things I could buy, like, with this.

Oh, so like, I'm here thinking the tickets are like between $20,000 and $50,000, so like $7,000— they are, but you just said $7,600.

That's the average price.

So like, you know, midsection—

I'm sorry, like, I need a good seat. Like, cuz one thing about me, I like watching on TV, so if my seat in the arena is like so bad that I can't see shit, like, that's not worth it to me. I don't need to be in the building.

Oh, but Ben does, because it's like the spirit.

Ben would sit like— he wouldn't sit anywhere, but he would Like, he's less picky than me. Um, like, seriously, like, I need to be courtside. Like, I need to see stuff. I'm short, I don't have amazing vision.

Like, I hate to see it because she needs to be courtside. So you could go, you could go in the 200 section.

It's just like, it's insane. It's like $5,000 for like a shitty seat in the 200s. And it's by two.

$5,000 to be like a part of something. Exactly. Like, I'm sure the place looks great last night, you know. Yeah, so it's— you're paying for the energy, really.

So all in all, I'm glad that I couldn't get in because I would have like spent so much money on a loss, and I just would have— I really would have been devastated.

Yeah. Okay, well, keep us posted. We're excited. You missed like a pretty crazy episode of Love Island. Did I? Yeah, like one of the crazier challenges.

Do you think you could hold off? Like, I'll watch and we could recap tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, I think so. Unless like something comes up that I could— I could put it in, but we have so much TV to watch tonight, so I'm like so glad I did my homework.

Summer House.

And now Love Island.

Oh, okay, that's not that much.

You have two Love Islands.

I'll figure it out, don't worry about me.

Okay, well, let's get into the stories, shall we?

Oh my God, yeah, let's.

We're only beginning to understand them. So that's exactly why Haya exists, to give parents a real solution in a market flooded with kids' vitamins that prioritize candy-like appeal over actual nutrition. Some children's vitamins on the market today contain up to 7 grams of sugar per serving and are stuffed with artificial additives and petroleum-based dyes. Well, Haya took the opposite approach. They have zero sugar, zero gummy additives, just clean nutrition. The crazy thing is that kids actually love them. It is not a fight to get your kids to take them. The bottle is like super fun and customizable with like stickers. The product is actually really delicious. Kids love them.

This sweater that Claudia is wearing, it's a quarter zip creamy sweater with like a lovely elegant blue toast logo, emblem, an emblem. I'm wearing an emblem as well. This is the rugby shirt, a rugby shirt. We've sold rugby shirts in the past, they're so beloved, and it's the cutest.

A quarter zip is kind of sick. So shoptoastmerch.com, 10 AM Eastern time tomorrow on Wednesday, June 10th.

Make haste while supplies last.

Make haste while supplies last.

Classic, classic. That should be our website, makehaste.com while supplies last. Okay, now the stories. First up, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have split after 3 years of dating. Love is dead. So rumors are swirling that Ari and Ethan have broken up, and actually they broke up several months ago, but they've remained friends since then and have nothing but respect and admiration for one another. So I just want to say, like, whenever I said— when was it, a couple weeks ago— that they were broken up, like, I think they were broken up.

I don't know where I heard that. So maybe you just like had a feeling.

I don't know if I had a feeling or like I heard it, or I just like— yeah, maybe my spidey senses were tingling, but they're broken up and they have been, and I mean, this is so unacceptable.

Like, you rip this man from his wife and newborn just to like not even be with him 3 years later. You're both white trash, quite frankly. Um, I can't talk about the Ethan Slater of it all without like having like genuine hate in my heart for Ariana Grande. And I don't hate her, I actually like her. So like, it's hard, um, because what she did is so immoral, it's so ugly. Lily J deserves better. I can't believe that they're not even together. Like, the only way this ever would have been okay was if they were together and were buried together, like, in 100 years, like, together forever. Um, that's not like Ari's thing. She's very much Evelyn Hugo. So, like, this is just disgraceful. Like, just disgusting behavior, disgusting people.

I don't know, Evelyn Hugo, like, didn't do stuff like this.

Like, sorry, yeah, not be disgracing. Evelyn Hugo would never—

like, you sort of, like, glamorize her just like, you know, discarding individuals, but it's not glamorous.

It's, it's— well, she had her own reasons. I don't want to spoil the book for, you know, why she had 7 husbands.

And also some of them, like, were— like, it was, you know, they were relationships, but this is just like— seems like a pattern for Ari where it's like, okay, so, so then what next?

Yeah, well, like, I, I hope Ethan Slater— I hope he regrets what he did for like a very long— I hope this haunts him genuinely until the day he dies.

I know he I don't think he was ever gonna like not pursue Ariana Grande if given the chance, because like really, once in a lifetime. Yeah, for a guy like him, like, yeah.

And I know like Bowen Yang went on a press tour like saying that the timelines were like, it's so much better than what people say, and Ari just let everyone— I want to say, based on things that I know, it's worse than what the internet thinks. Like, I had heard from someone that like she was taking the baby on walks. Like, I had heard really disgusting things. Like, so I, I can't think too much about this because it will turn me into like an Ariana Grande troll hater. I don't wanna be that person. Like, I like her music. I think she's a nice girl. Like, I think she's been through a lot, but like, I'm sorry, going through a lot is not, uh, like an excuse to steal someone's husband and father. Like, that's insane.

Yeah.

And I know it's like, well, it takes two people. She didn't steal him. I'm sorry. When you're like, the power dynamics are not in balance and like you're the biggest star in the world and he's SpongeBob, like, sorry, you can steal someone's husband. Yeah.

No, that was a steal from Ari. This man has no agency.

Yeah, exactly. That's so true because a lot of times, and I do feel like we blame someone more than the other.

Of course. And that's not right.

He had to freely go.

Yeah, he's the one who's attached to Lily. She doesn't know Lily.

He has the responsibility to be loyal to his family and son. It's like, well, yes, that's true. He's also incapable of choosing. Like it wasn't a fair fight.

Yeah, no, and what are you doing? Like, seriously, what are you doing?

Like, sweetie, sweetie, you didn't really think like Ariana Grande was gonna be with you forever?

Well, 3 years, that's forever for her.

It is a long time. No, actually, like, all of her relationships are long-term. It's not like 3 months here, 3 months there. She was married, like, but they're like these big relationships.

No, this is a long one. Like, Pete Davidson felt really long, but that was like 3 months.

How long was she married to Dalton for? How long was she with Dalton for?

They got married in like COVID, right? And then probably 3 years ago they announced their divorce.

So that's okay. So another 3 years. Big Sean was like a long-term one. Mac Miller—

I know, they feel longer than they are. And she was with Dalton less than 2 years. And how long were they actually separated before? And yeah, everyone's like— and nobody cares that she like cheated on her husband.

With— no, nobody cares about Dalton. Nobody cares.

And also, I don't think they were together.

Objection, relevance.

But yes, technically there was cheating on both sides. Who cares?

No, I don't like justice for motherfucking Lily Jay. I am sorry.

Yeah, I also think this is like a tough spot for Ari because she— her Q score has seriously suffered from all of this. She has begun to bounce back as people just like accept the fact that they obviously love each other, we're together. Now she's trying to do music and her tour again, and this is going to disrupt her likability once again. I don't think it makes her more likable now that the relationship's over.

I— because it's like, you did all that for what?

Yeah, and it makes her less likable because now we're talking about it again. Yep. I guess it was bound.

So I understand, like, the slow rollout of the breakup.

Yeah, maybe like after the tickets were sold to the tour, you know, me and Bach Yeah, maybe ticket sales are in a good place so she feels like she can comfortable soft launching the breakup. Yeah, yeah.

I can't talk about this too much because I start to get like a— like, I really like hate—

yeah, no, same.

But like, Lily Jay, I see you. I am with you on a day like today. And I'm sure this doesn't even feel good for Lily Jay. Like, it's not what she wanted.

Like, it doesn't change anything.

It doesn't change anything. Stupid, stupid.

Are you ready for our next story?

Mm-hmm.

Video has emerged of Love Island's Huda Mustafa entering the building of her ex-boyfriend's baby mama's home. So we had reported and everyone was talking about how, you know, weeks ago Huda and her boyfriend and ex-boyfriend on-off Lewis and his baby mama had filed a restraining order against Huda because she had like tried to come to apartment. And yesterday, video surfaced from the apartment building of one Miss Huda Mustafa. Like, the actual incident in question, we got the security tape into the parking garage.

This is so fucking crazy. At first I was like, what am I watching? Because there's a car in the video, and I'm like, oh, how did she— I thought it was her in the car, and I'm like, oh my God, she's so crazy, she got someone to open the gate and whatever. No, no, no, that was a resident like going into their garage, and as the garage is closing, a crazy little woman sneaks out from the shadows. Sneaks out from the shadows. House, runs, and like literally like a Spy Kid rolls under the gate and gets into this woman's— and this woman is her boyfriend's ex, like the mother of his child's apartment building. She's then seen on footage like on the phone, like walking fiercely through the garage. Genuine crazy person behavior.

Yeah, crazy person on the loose.

Yeah, it's actually like one of those videos you see like you know, wanted. Yeah, crazy individual.

Yeah, it's unclear why this video is coming out now. TMZ obtained the surveillance footage showing her making her way into the apartment. Um, you know, the court stuff is sort of ongoing.

Um, if you watched her season of Love Island, not one part of this is shocking. She was a manipulative— and I hate to, like, I don't want to overuse this word, but like, quite abusive partner. To a Jeremiah. And so that was like a small 4-day relationship. This is a— this has been like a long-term real-life relationship. So yeah, uh, this is not surprising. I, once again, I feel that my opinions on the previous season of Love Island, like, I continue to be rewarded. You know, I never gave into Amaya Papaya Gate and like thought everything she said was cute and funny. I quite honestly didn't understand it. Um, I never thought Huda— I never believed in the Huda redemption arc. Like, everyone was like, she's crazy.

Oh no, she's misunderstood. No, like, no, I feel good saying that she was there from the beginning to the end, like, to very last day.

A demented individual.

Yeah, yeah, for everyone. It's crazy.

Never got sent home. And there were so many people, like, inactive partnerships, inactive connections with multiple connections, who got sent home, like, because they didn't want to send Huda home. Yeah. And I'm sorry, like, I'll never stan anyone from that season, even Alandria. Like, everyone's forgotten, but like, Shelly, Alandria, Sierra, all those girls who, like, would not stop voting other people out. Like, where is the accountability? We need Beyah, the accountability police, to get all over that. That.

No, it's really true. That was so crazy when they sent Hannah home.

Oh, Charlie. Charlie, infuriating. Yeah, all to save Huda, this crazy bitch.

Like, yeah, who actually turned out to be crazier than we even knew.

Yeah, but it was like, it was just a microcosm of the crazy that lied underneath, the tip of the iceberg. Yeah.

Well, are you ready for our next story?

Mm-hmm.

It's a little biz news, I guess, because Tom Brady has unveiled his latest post-NFL business venture called called Good Nut. Yeah, so Tom Brady has unveiled his latest business venture, a premium coconut water brand called Good Nut. Uh, he put out a video that's like very satirical, um, about the name of the drink, Good Nut. Um, and it's organic Vietnamese coconuts in coconut water.

Let me tell you one thing about Tom Brady, like, I'm not gonna let him sleep. Like, I can't stand him. Like, I just think he's such a loser. Having said that, credit where credit is due, I can't remember a time where I've been so dazzled by the name of someone's company. Like, first of all, it's brilliant, right? Because it's coconut and it's a good coconut. Good nut. Good night.

Good nut.

Oh, good night.

Yeah, good night. I didn't know that good night was—

of course, the more cultural, what a nut, you know, like you had a good nut.

Yeah, it's like sexual.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like— I love like whatever creative agency, because you know Tom didn't come up with this, whatever creative agency did, like kudos to you. Yeah.

Yeah, but also he seems to be, you know, lightening up a little bit in the stage of his life. Like, so serious, you know, like that he's a part of this and this is where he's headed.

Yeah. Also, I think like obviously the celebrity beverage space is a popular space to be in. Something new, coconut water, love that. Not doing like a spiked seltzer like everybody else, love that.

Yeah, people love coconut water.

We should enter the celebrity hydration space, don't you find? Yes. Oh, well, we are in the celebrity alcohol space, but like the more wellness-focused.

Mm-hmm. Like, because we're like Tom Brady.

Yeah, we're sort of GOATs of our, of our very specific niche, you know, which is daily pop culture podcasting hosted by sisters.

Hosted by sisters. Actually, there's not another daily pop culture podcast cast. So it doesn't even have to— caveat— hosted by sisters.

Is there not like the New York Times one, Popcast?

I've never heard of it, honestly. What's— what did you say?

So Popcast? Pop— no, what's it called? New York Times has like a pop culture podcast, and I do feel that they are heavily inspired by us. I'm being dead serious. I just had Olivia Rodrigo on.

Oh, I saw clips from it. That's a podcast that's daily? Yeah.

And the weird thing is that like the New York Times has a pop culture podcast which like, that's just weird. I don't think that, like, people go to the New York Times for pop culture. And it's hosted by two men, like two old men. Yeah, yeah, it's so strange. And I have no shade against them. I actually think that they do a good job. Like, whenever I hear their takes, they're quite nuanced.

Daily show?

I don't know if it's daily, cuz you said daily. What is it? It's about music.

And it's daily?

Is it daily? Is it daily? I don't think it's daily. The New York Times has the Daily.

No, no, you said Daily Pop Culture.

What is it? Weekly? Weekly?

Yeah, Daily Pop Culture.

Daily pop culture. Oh, is Chicks in the Office daily?

No, I think they're like 4 days a week.

3 or 4. Yeah.

Um, okay, that's us. DPC.

Daily pop culture. And I don't know, I'd say we veer more on like daily comedy as well.

Oh yeah, does anybody do daily comedy?

I know I chuckle every day.

We're in the comedy category. Does anyone do daily comedy shows?

When it comes to just daily shows It's us and The Daily. The Daily.

Yeah, no, I don't think anybody else is doing daily yet.

They do like 4 days a week, and I don't know if anyone's doing daily like we are.

Well, they could never.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story?

Wait, what was the story? Oh, Tom Brady.

Yeah, the stories are very light today, like don't feel the need to get like bogged down into them in the story, just sort of use them as a vessel. Yeah, like, and also I I was— it was weird. The stories are light today, even though so much is going on in the world, like the Knicks and Love Island and, and whatnot. And it's like, so the stories are light, but let's let the— let's let the show— like, we don't have to be in this box, you know?

Okay, I love that.

Like, we can take this thing wherever we want to go.

It's true. Every now and then I like remember, because, you know, I think that the structure of this show— let's go toast at a glance for a moment. I think the structure of this show like is so important, right? People know what they're gonna get, they have expectations, and we keep them every time on back and with things to talk about every single day. Yes, but every now and then I remember like we could just fuck shit.

No, like every now and then I could be like, listen, there's 3 stories I want to talk about today. We have Dear Toasters, we have Nicks at the beginning, like, right, we have a show and we don't have to do pick 2 more stories just cuz. Yeah, but here I go, just cuz.

It's very inspiring when you think of it that way.

Maybe next time time I'll shirk tradition, but today I picked two more stories just because.

So today you're not saying screw tradition?

No, today I'm very traditional.

We would never say that. We actually are quite— for like two, you know, uh, modern women, we're extremely traditional in our—

just, we're transitional. Why? Transitional is like a mix of modern and traditional. It's in, in like interior design, so why can't it apply to us as well?

Okay, but transitional also means like changing.

We are ever-changing. We used to hate kitten heels. Yeah, thus we are transitional. I rest my case.

Law is reason free from passion. So who am I? Seriously, who am I?

Are you ready for our fourth story?

Just 'cause I'm not.

Oh, well, should have said so, right? You should have said we have deer toasters, don't we? Yeah, we do.

Are you ready for our next story? Thank you to the Jonas Brothers and their podcast for this sort of fourth story news, you know. Like, Hey Jonas is so fourth story, don't you find?

But if, if by fourth story you mean bottom of the barrel, I agree.

Just like irrelevant randomness, like, okay, you know, fun fodder.

That sparks interesting conversation.

Kevin Jonas says that he threw up during his brother Nick's first date with his wife Priyanka Chopra. Um, he said he wing—

Kevin threw up.

Kevin threw up. He wingman so hard, he said.

Oh, cuz he got like wasted.

Yeah. So when Nick was on Therapists, he told, uh, the story of his first date with Priyanka, which was at the Hollywood Bowl with like a group of friends, including like Kevin, to see Beauty and the Beast. Um, he was like, let's bring some friends so there's less pressure. So it was like a group hang in case it wasn't the vibe. And so she brought her best friend, he brought Kevin, another couple friend. We had like the absolute best time at the show, Nick said. On therapists. The group, they went out for drinks, um, they took shots. He said like Kevin was like overly hyping him up.

I fucking love Kevin.

He was like, you know, someone bringing up like baseball or something, Kevin would be like, oh, Nick could have gone pro, he could have—

I'm cracking up.

He could have been a pro baseball player. He was like, that was the most Jersey thing ever. And it was very sweet. She was obviously like, your brother's like really gassing you up. And Nick was like, he really wants this to go well. Well, and then it did. He said we French kissed that night.

So French kiss? Sorry, like, eye roll Nick Jonas. Just sorry, I'm not trying to say—

I would, but they've been married for 8 years.

No, I didn't say eye roll Nick Jonas or Priyanka. I'm saying Nick Jonas, like, who says that we French kissed? Like, what are you, like, uh, what, who are you, Danielle Steele? Like, who are you, Colleen Hoover? So anyways, one thing about me, I cannot let Nick Jonas live. Like, I put my foot on his neck. Like, I need to hold him accountable. I just— like, do you find it shocking that, like, he needed a wingman and he asked Kevin? I just— based on, like, the vibes when I read their body language, I just feel like Nick hates Kevin.

Well, I feel like there's a wingman for different things, and, like, I think he was really interested in Priyanka, like, wifey material, so he's bringing his husband friend, the stable dad. Yeah, but, like, if he was trying to woo someone else, like, maybe Kevin's not the vibe. But I think like Kevin is the vibe to show Priyanka like what their life could look like being single and happy.

I just want to say like this story, I didn't know that like this was the origin story of Nick and Priyanka. Makes everyone look so good, especially Kevin. Yeah. And I just love him. And so then on Hey Jonas, Hey Jonas, um, Kevin was—

they were talking about, um, the date because he was saying it's like coming up on the 8-year anniversary of when they went out. And Kevin said, I wingmaned hard. I wingmaned so hard I threw up in the bathroom and rallied.

I can't. I love him so much. Like, seriously, dad friend, brother of the year.

Brother of the year. What's crazy, and we knew this at the time, but like, I guess it sounds even crazier, they got engaged 2 months after their first date. What? Yeah. And then that— so they got engaged in July and then they got married in December, and it was very quick. And I remember at the time, like, no one believed that they were real because like, well, who gets engaged so quickly?

It was such a random matching. And then yes, a speedy courtship that there was so much doubt cast on them as like a PR relationship. It was so— it was bizarre. I'm sorry, it was. Now obviously they've been together for 8 years and there's like nothing weird about it. They're like a very happily married family. But I'm sorry, at the time like dispersions were cast, and I want to say for good reason.

I— yeah, but like we were all wrong. Of course. Like they knew what they had, they were set on each other. More of that, you know.

Agreed, but I think celebrities do that a lot, but they're not set on one another. So like, it was Max Ehrlich and Demi Lovato.

It was the same season that like Ariana and Pete got engaged, and then also Hailey and Justin. So people were casting doubt on all three. But what's so crazy is like Nick and Priyanka got like the most doubt.

Yeah, I think there's also an age gap, and I think that people also were just like, how did these two even meet? Like, it just felt so fucking random.

It doesn't feel random now cuz like they're No, it's like, it's— no, they're actually so cute. I like forget that they are together and like, that's— they got married so quickly and engaged so quickly and they just knew. Like, kudos.

And you know what else? I feel like we're always talking about celebrities who keep their babies off, like, off outside, like the public sphere. We never talk about the Jonas kids. Kevin doesn't, but the other two do. Yeah, we've never seen a picture of either of their kids.

Yeah, I don't follow them, so I know that Priyanka and Nick don't. They do emojis, right?

I don't know what they do, but like blurred lines, whatever.

And then Sophie and Joe do a really good job.

Yeah, I've never seen a photo of them. I don't even know their names. Like, yeah, maybe Willa. I think there's a Willa in there.

I think so too.

So whenever we're having those conversations, we never bring up the Jonas Brothers, but like, slay.

Yeah, totally.

Um, so Hey Jonas like is making waves in the podcasting world.

Hey Jonas is working for me, it really is. It's something to say, the stories.

It's— I was a doubter, non-believer, and based on the limited clips and headlines I've seen, like, it's cute. I haven't— I don't know if I would love a whole episode.

Do you see clips?

I think I did. Yeah, yeah, I saw Joe talking about his co-parenting relationship. Remember I was saying That it was a clip. Oh, well, yeah, I want to see the logo. They have these like custom mic flags and it's called Hey Jonas, and they obviously had one of their kids write like Hey Jonas, probably like one of the older girls who like knows how to write. So cute. And that's the logo.

That's so cute.

Her penmanship needs work, but yeah, she's literally working on it. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Summer House Wes Wilson.

Madame Maribel, Graham, Karen Reed.

Exactly. Says Benson Boone says he thinks about Dara Leviton's reunion comments every day.

Oh, so what did he say this on his current podcast where he just sits down and lies?

Yes. So I get clips for his podcast. Me too.

Um, and they're very low engagement, don't you find? They're not like huge episodes.

Also, it's like they're so short. I know like you like short clips. This is something that we like always talk about.

I would have— we will never truly be famous because our clips are not like buzzy sound bites, 10 seconds each. Like, no, no, we're having thoughtful 2-minute conversations and people don't want to watch a 2-minute podcast clip.

But I like watching a longer podcast clip, like, cuz like, like I want to see a conversation. Like, this isn't like a—

yeah, but the whole point is that like you're going to like what you see, but it's not enough, so you go listen to the podcast.

But I feel like people who have like buzzy, like little, little bites, like people aren't actually listening to the podcast now. Oh, I like your clips, you're, you're a content creator.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I I just— yeah, I don't know what the right thing is, but our 4-minute clips, like, aren't cutting it.

I love them, and I love watching other 4-minute clips. Like, oh, you entertain me for 4 minutes, you have talent, right? Anyway, so I find their clips to be very short, and there's literally like 2 sentences in them.

But who are we talking about again?

Wes, Dara, and—

oh, oh, oh, Wes's podcast clips. Yes, I agree, they're very short. I agree, I agree.

I'm glad you agree. So he is addressing what Dara said, which, you know, went like super viral.

He said, which time? Which one? The first or the second?

I think all. He said, I think the reunion is good for people to just get shit off their chest. Dara, I've known her for a long time. Obviously it hurts a little more to have a friend like really fucking cook you like that in that moment. He said, I've thought about it probably every fucking day since then. So he said, um, I haven't run away from my bad communication style or dating history. It has not been clean in a long time. She's valid for calling me out in that capacity because yeah, I've dated casually and hurt people. That one did stick out to me honestly a lot because I was like, oh, this is someone who I've been romantic with and been friends with. To have them just give me the full scope of what that reads like to someone who's been a part of it all in all facets, that's a lot to take in. Like, is there any— like, okay, so this is acknowledgement, right? Like, he acknowledges that that's his behavior. I He's taking accountability for his behavior.

That's the Wes Wilson way.

But like he says the all the right things, but like where's all the right things? Like, is there any desire to do it differently?

Or like, no, he just acknowledges it cuz it like makes him look good. He knows exactly what to say.

He can recognize, I don't even think he's putting on like, I recognize I hurt people. I recognize my actions were bad and they hurt people. Is there any desire to not wanna do that anymore?

No, because that's also like over the summer when he was talking with Ben about like how him and Sierra have just such amazing romantic sexual chemistry, you know, uh, friendship chemistry. But like, he obviously can't be in a relationship because he has that like disability. So it's like he knows all the things, but he is physically incapable of being any different. But he is capable of acknowledging his shortcomings. But it— that's sort of where he draws the line, just acknowledging them.

Yes. But so then it's like, what is he saying to Amanda that's keeping her around. Like, I feel like—

I don't think she's requiring a lot of it, but I feel like this is the different one.

Like, and I feel like in the reunion tonight we're gonna hear more from like what their conversations have been like, because really, why would she throw— and I know I'm always giving her like some sort of benefit of the doubt, like to believe that something is being told to her that is keeping her in this position, that she threw away her whole life, her career, and her friendships, and her reputation, her name, watching the reunion.

It's been made kind of more clear that like they're kind of unsure about where they are, and they just made this announcement because they have feelings for one another and they don't really know where it's going. So they haven't really firmed up anything. So she really did throw her whole life, reputation, career away for a feeling, for a crush, not a relationship, not a great love. Maybe it'll turn into that, but at the time when they're recording this reunion, like right on the heels of their statement, it's literally just a feeling that they're exploring.

Boring, right? But like in the last 2 months, like since the reunion, since the statement, they're traveling together, they're together all the time. He's— it doesn't appear like he's dating other people because like when would he be?

He can't, he can't, right?

So maybe this one's different. Like, I just— I don't know. I, I can't wrap my head around someone being so stupid. I really can't. That's why I always— I know, that's why I always think there has to be something else. There's something that they have between them that we don't know because yeah, because something they're not telling Yes, right.

Both totally anonymous methods of submission, and we will never, you know, blow up your spot. Ready? Hey, Jackson, T, first of all, love you guys. I spent my weekend saying the place looks great. Well, it always does. I need advice because I know the logical answer, but I'm conflicted. I take Pilates at a studio with a coffee shop attached to it, and one day I noticed this really handsome guy there. We made eye contact a few times, but I assumed he was waiting for his girlfriend, and I left without saying anything. A few classes later, after realizing he's just working and not a significant other of anyone there, my instructor ended up showing him my Instagram and encouraging him to follow me. And instead, he gave her his number for me. But before I even texted him, he followed me and DM'd first.

We instantly clicked, we talked for hours, but then he casually mentioned that he has two kids. I jokingly said, um, you're hopefully not married, and he told me he's separated, co-parenting, and the situation is complicated. I did some investigating and found that the co-parent's Instagram— while they don't wear rings and they have different last names, they all still live in the same house for the kids. He's reassured me that there's no chance of reconciliation, but I can't tell if I'm ignoring obvious red flags because the connection feels so strong. I obviously don't want to tell him I've seen her Instagram. Do I trust the vibe? Should I run before I get attached? Watched. So she is like, yeah, no, I think it's a very complicated situation.

And like, you have to think about what you want and like what your timeline is, because by the time that this man like figures out his mess of a life— and honestly, the idea that they're living like in the same house for the kids while not being together, like, is actually like kind of nice for their family.

So like, of course.

So is he running to move out? As long as he lives with his wife, you're never going over to his house. Like, that's not a real relationship for you. And like, if you are looking to like get married and have kids, like, by the time he's available to have a real relationship, like, it could be 5 years. Like, I think this sounds like a waste of time. Yeah.

Although I just want to say, I like that they're living together.

Like, I don't want—

I feel like it really speaks to him being a committed dad. I do. I don't— what about her?

Who?

Our girl, our toaster. No, no, I, I agree with you. Like, this is seriously—

he sounds like a nice guy for you.

And if you could be patient, like or years. You can't. Yeah.

Um, he sounds like a nice quality guy. I'm happy for his ex-wife.

I believe that they're not reconciling.

I don't think anything nefarious is happening, but like, you have to like figure out your own life. And like, this sort of situation like probably doesn't work for a young woman's timeline. I don't know how old you are. I don't know what you're looking for. You can't just like wait around for him. Like, yeah, sad.

This, this setup works until one of the people gets into a relationship. So like, are you going to be the girl? Like, that's a lot of drama. If you feel that this is the great love of your life, like maybe you want to go and waste your time, I wouldn't recommend it.

You can also say to him like, I like you so much, I— you obviously have a complicated situation that's not fully fleshed out, like I don't think we should be together right now, but like when you know what your future holds, like, call me. Call me. And in that time you can go and meet other people and, and make a go and try and find someone, but maybe you'll wind up back together, but the time is not right right right now.

Yeah, so like, is he also really— shouldn't be dating right now.

Yeah, it seems like really fresh. Yeah, it just sounds really messy, and like, it's not your mess.

This isn't your place.

You're supposed to be on a clean slate. Like, you're starting to find your person. Like, it's just a lot if you— it's just a lot, and the odds of it working out perfectly and in the time frame that works for you are very him.

Yeah, right.

All right, next up.

Hey, Swirlies, I'm 2 weeks postpartum with my second child and my husband is horny as fuck. In addition to 9 months of a medically traumatic pregnancy, I just got home from the hospital after almost dying from postpartum preeclampsia. My husband was actually in the room when my heart stopped and I had to be revived, so I feel like he wants to fuck me so bad because he almost lost me. But good God, I'm 2 weeks postpartum. How do I set reasonable boundaries gently with this very sweet man who's clearly traumatized and also horny as the fuck. By the way, I promise I will submit an update because I'm also annoyed with the lack of updates. Yours truly, a mama of two with no libido. I, I feel like the fact that you like are seeing this as like a sweet thing that your husband's doing, like, you are a better woman than me because your husband needs to fuck all the way off. And now we all have to come up with a plan for like you to let him down easy. Why don't you send him this episode? Sir, fuck off, okay? Like, leave your wife alone.

She gets a year.

I'm sorry, medically she can't even talk to you or look at you for 6 weeks.

No, 6 weeks.

Yeah, right. Well, she's already 2 weeks postpartum, so she has 4 more weeks medically, and then it's whenever she decides. But like, seriously, 2 weeks? Like, aren't you busy? Like, don't—

aren't you busy with the newborn and your pre-existing child? Like a toddler, presumably, right?

Like, I, I think you're giving him a lot of credit. He almost lost me, so he wants to—

No, you're so sweet. Like, you sound like such a fucking queen, and I like that you really see the best in your husband. Like, you don't see him as a pest with his own— he's like making is— yeah, he's a pest. You don't see him as that, like making his own needs like the priority versus your like genuine clinical medical needs. That's sweet. Like, you seem like a really sweet wife. You obviously love him because you see the best in him. But like, seriously, this is not that. He's annoying and he has to go.

Yeah, yeah. Just by the way, no, no is a whole sentence. And also, like, medically you can't do anything.

Well, you know, people do, because then, you know, there are people who have babies who are like 10 months apart. It's insane. Who could possibly—

10 months apart? No, then you're like at the 6-week.

I just want to say, like, the first time that I, you know, after postpartum, I had to like soak in a tub. I was in so much pain.

Yeah, no, it's, it's crazy work.

Pelvic floor is a real thing.

Yeah, it— no, it's 100%.

By the way, I only recently found out you could have postpartum heart. I'm— preeclampsia, which is not that I'm comparing, but like is much more painful.

Scary.

Yeah. So no, that's my advice to you, sister. It's just no.

And then also you could like tell your doctor, even if at 6 weeks you're like not wanting to—

why don't you see the doctor, tell your husband the appointment's at 2:30 but it's actually at 2, have him come at the end, and you could just tell the doctor, please tell my husband I need— that I can't have sex for 6 months. All right, next up. Hey, swirlies! I'm also a member of the Dead Dads Club for about 8 years now, and I've been seriously dating my boyfriend for over a year. I talk about my dad occasionally but not often. I don't do much for his birthdays or anniversaries, but I am fully present for them. Long story short is that I took my mom and dad's old golf clubs. My boyfriend was cleaning them and getting me all ready to start playing soon. He later told me that he took one of my dad's clubs to get regripped for him because he thought I would think it was Wait, is this totally fucked up because he didn't ask, or is it a PJ move?

I just don't understand why someone would do that with like as a surprise, like not letting you know, or like I don't even think he meant to do it as a surprise, like, but why not tell you that he's doing it or ask you if he can do it before he maims something that is precious to you?

Yeah, no, this is crazy behavior. Like, to— first of all, it's your boyfriend, not your husband. So he needs to calm down.

But even like any normal sane person would just be like, oh my gosh, I love these clubs. Like, I, I, I think it would be like nice if I, you know, let me know how you feel about that. Like, no one would actually just go and do it without saying anything.

Psychopath. Yeah, it's giving sociopath. Like, to touch the item, like a personal item of a loved one who's passed away, is crazy. Like, you shouldn't move it, you shouldn't touch it. Like, it's up to the person. But to then like actually change it to fit your fucking hands, like that's insane.

Without mentioning, asking, telling nothing. This is a crazy person.

Yeah, I guess they like regripped the mom's for her and he's like, let's do the dad's for me.

Is that what it was?

I thought like— yeah, she took both.

Okay, say again.

The— so long story short, I took both my mom and my dad's old golf clubs. My boyfriend was cleaning them, getting me ready to start playing soon. So obviously she was going to play with the mom's. Okay, so I think he saw like that journey for her and was like, do me next.

Yeah, that's a little creepy.

It's a little self-centered. Like, I don't want to look too much into it, but like, that's not a person who's like looking out for you.

That's weird vibes. So like evaluate the rest of their relationship.

It's also obviously like gay, right? Because he wants to stick the golf club up his butt. Very phallic-shaped product. And obviously if we wanted to look more into this, we could, but let's not go down that road.

No, I I think that evaluate the rest of the relationship. Like, are there weird breadcrumbs? If this is like a perfect PJ, wonderful, sweet, and like maybe he just had like a lapse in judgment, senior moment, you know? Yeah, just senior moments in essence, where he just like did the wrong thing one time. I can forgive the wrong thing one time. I can forgive it. Yes, of course.

Sometimes I do genuinely.

It's the wrong thing one time.

Yeah, let's do an audit. This calls for— we need a button like, your husband is gay, this calls for an audit.

Yeah, this calls for the relationship, relationship at a glance.

Rag, take a look.

Rag, rag, take a look.

See what you find. Tag.

And you know, like, you're listening to this, you're like, yeah, well, there was also the time and—

right, right.

So you know, you know, I know you know.

Like, sometimes Dear Toasters is like looking in a mirror, you know?

Or you're like, no, this was so crazy, that's why I had to write and so, so out of character. And, and you know that, okay, he made a mistake one time, we can forgive.

Yeah, only you can answer that question, my sweet, sweet friend.

And the good news is you already know.
