Transcript of No, I'm Shy: Wednesday, January 7th, 2026

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

They sound amazing.

Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Hump Day. First Hump Day of the New Year. I hope everybody's feeling especially humpy. Get your Hello, Humping Saddles, because it's Jacky O. Hey, Jacks, how are you doing?

Hey, Koji, I'm doing good. We are once again, simpatico today.

You guys, we are not planning this. We're both wearing blue.

We're both wearing blue. I told you I keep it cash on a Wednesday, so I'm wearing this new cute sweater I got.

Some people do Casual Fridays.

I do Casual Wednesday. That's when I need a break in my week from all the formality, all the colors.

You are wearing a color, but okay.

It's a colored sweatshirt.

It's like a quarter zip.

And I feel cozy.

You look cozy. You look gorgeous.

Thank you so much. I love that we're on the same wavelength of blue.

Yeah, cerulian.

It's a blue day.

You were wearing a sweater handpicked for you by the people in this room.

I love that for me. Yeah.

I feel like this actually is what Meredith, whatever her name was talking I'm not talking about Priestley. I'm wearing a blue shirt from Amazon, and at one point this blue was handpicked for me by the people in that room.

No, and the fact that we think it's a coincidence that we're just wearing this blue when so many decisions and people went into the fact that we're both wearing this blue today.

One That will go down in history as one of the greatest reads of all time. That and Portia. Kenya Moore. No. Why am I having a stroke? Fedra.

Fedra to Kenya. Right.

So you could have a child. So he could get a Coke. Like, literally, read of the century. There's a couple in the Hall of Fame. Oh, of course. Pretty much, I would let Gemma know.

That's probably number one.

Yeah, definitely Hall of Fame.

In this part. Yeah.

We could do a whole episode on that. Patreon.

Love that.

Today's a Wednesday. We've got great stories. Matthew Koma is putting his foot in the celebrity Mom saga, officially making it not fun. What other are the stories? Gwyneth's on a podcast. That's always good.

Bits and Bobs. My headline news today of my personal life is that Max is two months old today.

Oh, my God. Okay, let's take a trip down memory lane.

It's funny how you really stop counting weeks and months when after second baby, third baby, you just count less and less.

Are you doing Oh, no, I didn't even do those for Harry.

I didn't do them either. I started doing them for Harry, the first month, second month, and then I dropped off, and it made me feel really guilty that I didn't do it. And knowing that I would never have done that for a second, maybe third baby, why would I do? I've forgiven myself.

It's a new mom thing. If you're going to do it, you're only going to do it with your first. But I'm glad to know you didn't do it either.

I didn't do it. I have a couple pictures for month one, month two. They do nothing for me. Okay, that makes it feel better. I have better pictures that represent- Of just them at the beach. Yeah, like the milestone. To get them to pose on the blanket, it's very difficult.

It feels very stage mom, too.

To remember where you put all the circles that you're going to put around the member, to remember where the blanket is on the day, not for me.

Yeah. Okay. I'm glad.

But the other day, someone asked me how many weeks Max was, and I'm like, seven, eight? Joggers?

I don't know. I think he's joggers years old.

I think he is joggers years old. And also, you know how the Bump app when you're done being pregnant, it starts giving you your toddler, your baby is one week old, two weeks old. Because I went flex past my due date, and I never updated the Bump app, they just assumed I gave birth at my due date, and they were sending me- His gestational. His gestational age on the wrong day. So I was between weeks.

So just advanced.

So today I got to call it two months. Zack actually reminded me.

Right, of course. Listen, you're a business owner. You're a mother. You can't remember every date.

But yeah, two months It's a major.

Major? Well, congrats on making it two months. Thank you. That's also like, I used to be like, Okay, yeah, the baby is two months. I have breastfed for two months. That's the real milestone.

Yes, it is a fabulous milestone.

Congrats.

And yeah, two months.

Huge.

Yeah, it's not the biggest one. Three months is a really big one.

Well, actually, two months, they do say technically the newborn phase is eight weeks. That's what people say.

Oh, I've heard twelve weeks, three months.

I thought it was twelve weeks, three months, obviously. But you're only considered a newborn at the eight weeks.

No, but eight weeks is a milestone in life for baby. But no, newborn stage is three months. Everything is zero to three.

I'm just letting you know what I heard.

Also, if it's the fourth trimester, the trimesters are roughly twelve weeks.

Simply letting you know what I heard.

Simply letting you know the misinformation that you- Won't happen again.

That you want to- You guys, I'm not the only person who says this. I can't wait for the comments. No, I heard that, too. I'm telling you, it's like what people say.

On this huge platform while the Bump app didn't say it, you're no longer a newborn.

Should we ask Chad? Okay.

Let's settle this with chat. Even though if we both put it into Chat.

How long is a baby considered a newborn? Four.

It'll probably give us different answers. Wow. What?

A baby is considered a newborn from birth until 28 days.

Four weeks. Okay. Four weeks.

So 1-3 months is often called an infant, and then 3-12 is still an infant, but no longer a newborn.

So 3 being the- Pediatricians use four weeks.

Okay, that's wrong.

Okay, so you didn't understand the question.

Yeah, Chad is getting so dumb. I'm actually thinking about making the switch.

Two.

I've heard good things about Grok.

Is there a Grok app? There is.

No, that's the thing. I always thought Grok was a part of Twitter. I'm like, Okay, well, I'm not going to tweet out my thoughts. That'd be so embarrassing. What is one plus three? Then I heard Grok has an extra app, like something separate is what I heard.

Okay.

Yeah. Try it. What are you doing? I'm hearing a little echo. I thought you were messing with my headphones.

No, I would never do that to you. I know how important your headphones are to you.

Well, yeah, they are.

I'm hearing a little echo.

I think maybe you're just having postpartum paranoia.

No, I just am hearing a vibration on the table. Maybe you're just like...

Am I screaming?

You're shaking the roof off this plate.

Am I screaming?

No. I mean, if I'm the only one, then ignore me. Maybe I should put my headphones on.

Maybe she's experiencing postpartum psychosis.

I've heard it starts at two months, even though I was feeling my hair do for it.

No, you look super cute. Don't put the headphones Okay, she said, Don't put the headphones on. It's actually a crazy thing to make a major change to your look in the middle of the podcast. In the middle of the show. Because we look at the monitors before, we're comfortable. Even if we don't love it, we know it. It's familiar. To make a big shift, putting your hair up or taking your hair down in the middle of the podcast, it's just not done.

Okay, so I'm not going to do it. I'm going to ignore whatever I'm hearing, the voices in my head.

Listen, just a little schizophrenia, you know?

Yeah, but it's there. They're real.

It's like the Lord. It's always with you.

Like you, Jesus.

Yeah. So I I have this thing where, and most of the time, I wear my hair down middle part, like most of my hair in front. And when I try to describe this look, it's not like a style, and I call it the Jesus look, because this is how Jesus Christ wore his hair. Straight middle part.

I have a cowlick, the only thing- And hair in front.

It's the only thing separating me from Jesus.

He wasn't behind the ear.

Yeah. The only thing separating me from Jesus is I have a calic, and he doesn't. So I'm like, that's what's stopping me from having a perfect middle part.

A perfect Jesus look. Where's your calic?

Oh, you don't know about my calic? In the back? Yeah. So I would say the first Two thirds of my part are dead center straight. And then the back. It goes sideways. Do not look at the back of my part. I don't look at the back of my part. It's none of my business.

It goes sideways. The back of your head is none of your business. If God wanted you to see it, he would make it visible to you. The front, right.

He would give me eyes over there.

He would give you eyes in the back of your head.

What is that from? The back of your head is ridiculous.

Like a sketch.

Yeah, but from what show?

Like something.

Not SNL. Can I have your number? Yeah, what's the... It's It's like Mad. Mad TV. Mad TV. Okay, okay. That was everything to me growing up. Was it? Oh, mad. That sketch.

You were watching Mad TV?

No, I was watching that sketch on YouTube.

That's so funny as a young child.

Not me quoting Mad TV. I've never seen that show.

And also Key and Peel.

I've never seen that either.

But people are like, Aaron. Jay Quellen.

Yeah, you are that skit, Aaron. You read things phonetically. You read things phonetically so that... Yeah, like to ask, Welcome to the toast.

Hey, Aaron.

There's a Kea and Peel sketch. Ben was like, very- But I'm Jay Quellen. You're Jay Quellen. I'm Claudia. Claudia.

You can't really fuck that up.

You could.

No. I'm saying as a fucker-upper. Yeah. Claudia is pretty straightforward.

Erin.

I love that. Yeah. Whitney Leivet.

Whitney Leivet. Correct. Tailored. Different. Yeah. This is such a fanatic show.

It is. It's hooked on Bonnie.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I don't know.

You are looking at me weird, right?

I'm not. I just have a lot going on. I put on headphones. Is everything okay? Are we still stable?

It's giving the integrated interface today. You're being weird.

I'm not. But how do my headphones look? I don't like to talk about the show so much.

I actually agree with that.

It's not my favorite thing. You look gorgeous. That's why I was just trying to wing it. I feel blind.

It was crazy for you to put the headphones on in the middle of the show.

I feel like a blind person.

Okay, should we turn the monitor on?

Just to take a look, even though I don't really care my looks on the show right now, because if I did, I would be- We can't be in a place. I'd be very unhappy.

Right. We can't be in a place where we're caring.

But I do want to make sure I'm not alfalfa.

You're not alfalfa. You don't have a big hair sticking out of your head.

Alfalfa is such a good reference.

Agreed. What is that? Little Rascals?

Yeah. Okay. Adorable.

Yeah. Anybody who's ever had one hair out of place is an alfalfa. Alfalfa energy this year.

Alfalfa ate with that.

Because one thing about alfalfa, he didn't give a fuck, and he was not a shallow person or else he would have slicked his fucking hair back. Yeah.

But I think I also think the Sprout was the look.

I also think the Sprout was symbolic, like a metaphorical Sprout, because he was constantly blooming where he was planted, and he was a leader.

Yeah, a leader in his community.

A role model for young men today.

And those rascals needed leadership.

That movie's really good, Little Rascals. It is. I get it confused with Little Giants, which Olivia's family is obsessed with it. I don't think I've seen that one.

You have The Annexation of Puerto Rico.

Oh, the annexation of Puerto Rico. Yeah. Yeah.

Always a slay.

Constantly. What do you think about the annexation of Puerto Rico.

You mean in terms of your political, your geopolitical ideologies? I feel like whatever situation we have now, it seems to be working for everyone.

When you say the annexation of Puerto Rico, what does that mean? They're on their own. They're no longer with us?

No, we would annex them completely. They would be a state.

Oh, no, I don't think that's necessary. I don't think they want that either.

Do they pay taxes?

No, that's why the Paul brothers live there.

What does the US gain from their partnership?

I know- US citizens can travel to that beautiful place without a passport. That's definitely huge.

That's major.

I think there's some trade. Then I actually recently had lunch, not recently, 10 years ago. Had lunch with a native Puerto Rican, and she was explaining that they don't want it either. They're happy with the way that it is. It's good.

It seems like everybody's happy.

Yeah, it's not like something that gets talked about a lot.

Yeah. So let's like, let's sleeping dogs. Lie.

Lie. Viva Puerto Rico, as I'm always saying.

So we will not annex Puerto Rico any further. Correct. That has already been annexed.

There is chat about annexing Hawaii.

Hawaii is a state.

Oh, sorry. Anti-annexing. What's the opposite? De-annex?

De-annex.

When you just set them free. There's chatter about that on TikTok, and I think the people of Hawaii are actually down. They do not want to be a part anymore.

I could understand that.

And then when you look at a map, and I only recently learned how random the location of Hawaii is and how not with us they are. And I would be down for that. And I have no stake. If that's what they want, I think they're probably good.

I would be open to the idea because geographically, it doesn't make a ton of sense. Same, let's talk about Alaska.

Yeah, but I just feel like the people in Alaska are very much the elk of Americans. And I feel like the people of Hawaii, they never really wanted to be with us. And they speak their own language, their own culture. I don't know the backstory, but something about it does make sense.

But Alaska is geographically closer to Russia.

Yeah.

But I don't know. But I don't know. The continental US.

Nobody talks about the cultural impact of Sarah Palin on the Alaskan people because to me, Alaska is so American. Somebody from Alaska was almost vice president. You know what I mean?

Oh, I thought you were going to say because she put us on to the fact that they're close to Russia when she said she could see Russia from her window.

1,000 %. That actually was crazy if she could see Russia from her window.

No, but that wound up being applicable a couple of years ago when Russia was in the mix of it. It's like, wait, part of us- Let's go to Sarah's house to see what's happening. Part of us, the US, is very close to Russia and at risk of Russian retaliation.

Right. And then I feel like I wasn't old enough to really understand at the time how crazy it was that Bristol Palin got pregnant during that time. Yeah. That was shocking.

That was a cultural shift.

It was. And I didn't really understand it. I still don't, but...

What's to understand? How crazy it was.

She got pregnant. But at the time when her mom was running for vice president, is that right? I feel like it was an episode of Veep, like when they all found out, like they were probably freaking. Yeah. So that's your geopolitical segment for the day. Can't wait to read all the hate comments coming from Hawaii. Hawaii is a very touchy subject. Okay. Yeah, at least it is on TikTok.

I could see why, and I don't know enough about it to touch on it in the touchiness.

All I know is that I stand with the people I love, and don't call it Hawaii.

Hawaii?

Hawaii. Yeah.

Okay. Well, I support. I also support you.

I support us. I support the past five, and that's my segue for today.

You want to into the stories. Yeah. Okay, let's get into- Do you not? No, I do. I just know how much love there is for the pre Fast Five banter. And as a people pleaser, I just want to give the people what they want.

Let's keep going.

But when I reflect on what more I have to give to the pre Fast Five banter, nothing really comes to mind.

I personally had shifted because I was running on empty, talking about Bristol Baylen, okay? So if you do want to continue it, you are just going to have to tell me what you want to talk about.

I'm going to have to go it on my own.

No, I'll be there for you, but you are going to have to provide the topics.

For sure. Now it's just a lot of pressure that what I have to say is more interesting than the Fast Five. But you know what? I feel like, as always, the Fast Five are a conduit to more I enter. A gateway. If there's anything that comes up, I will feel free to use my voice on my platform and make mention of it.

I know you're always feeling shy, so don't.

You're shy. You guys. No. I recently discovered. No. That's it. That's all I'm going to say, that Claudia is shy.

Okay, sure. Fine. You know what?

Guilty. I've always been the one who's worn my shyness on my sleeve. I'm always like, I'm shy, and I mean that. I am shy. I recently learned about my sister that she is shy.

Okay. Yeah, I'm shy. Jackie wants to throw me into the most craziest social situation, and then I was like, I don't want to. And she was like, You're shy. Okay, sure. That's not what happened. I'm shy. Sure. I don't want to get into it because I'm... Sure. You know what? Because she's too shy to get into it. Yeah, I'm shy. I'm shy, everyone. Claudia's shy. You got me. I'm the big shy girl.

I never would have thought.

Just call me shy.

That I am less shy than you.

Yeah, you guys. I'm shy. Like, after all these years, how you don't know that about me is insane.

So you agree? Yeah. You're really shy?

Yeah, I'm shy.

Hey. I'm shy.

Hi, I'm shy. What's your name?

Less shy. Yeah, less shy.

Still shy, but less I'm so shy.

My whole life, I've described you. I'm like, My sister Claudia, she's so outgoing. Moisture is like life is a perfect.

And all of this because Jackie was encouraging me to do something so insane. And by the way, I did it. We can't get into the details.

We can't. But we can get into the fast five stories that you need to know. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Nanit. What a perfect sponsor to celebrate my milestone today.

Mom Talk 2. 0. This is like Mom Talk for people on reels.

This is Mom Talk for a celebrity. That's what I said yesterday. No, but the content, it's for people on reels. It's not on TikTok? I feel like I'm missing stuff on TikTok. No. Sammie Ryan posted a TikTok.

Who's that?

She's the member of the Mom Group with Tattoos. Oh, what did she say? And she was lip syncing to Meg The Stalian.

Like, Fuck you. Hyping herself up.

Like, You're the worst. I hate you.

Love that.

Just kidding. But it was like a Meg and the Stalian in the lyrics that was like, clapping back, perhaps. I don't know. Now, Matthew Koma is responding to Ashley Tisdale's Toxic Mom Group essay with a clap back of his own. He posted- For those who don't know, Matthew Koma is Hilary Duff's husband. Hilary Duff's husband. He's like a music wonder. Allegedly. He's always in the news for things that he says. He's very opinionated.

Yeah, I feel like we're always talking about him, not as it regards to his work, but just he's always starting stuff. He loves to be snappy. He uses social media. I feel like a lot of the times where Hillary can't speak or won't speak, she speaks through him because I have to imagine what he posted was sanctioned by Hill.

Well, I don't think she could stop him, but like- I do. No, I don't think so. You can't stop Matthew Koma. He really pops off often. Austin.

Yeah.

Here he goes again. He posted a picture of himself and photoshopped a fake headline on top that looked like the Cut article and said, When you're the most self-obsessed, tone-deaf person on Earth, other moms tend to shift focus to their actual toddlers. It seems as though he's calling Ashley Tisdale the most self-obsessed, tone-deaf person on Earth.

Other mom- And that's why?

Started leaving her out because they were focusing their shift to their actual toddlers.

Now, this feels like what we said yesterday. They just vibing with her, and they decided to move on. And so up until this point, it was very much team the other women. But something about your husband stepping in, this is very much a women's issue. I get the ick. I appreciate because we didn't need to know. We really did.

I appreciate the clarity And Camp Tisdale seems to be backtracking and saying, this is about another mom group that Ashley's in, not the celebrity mom group, even though she literally doesn't follow half of them on Instagram now. They were best friends forever. They all went to Oh, hi. I learned more about the situation after the episode yesterday, looking at who the people are. And the girls who I would think would be the mean ones in this situation, there was one girl. I'm like, oh, it's totally her. She doesn't follow them. So obviously, there's bad blood. Now her publicist is trying to say, No, it's a different group. Wait, so she has babble up with two groups? That's weird. And Matthew Koma is bringing it back to say, No, this is the Hillary Duff group, and it's very much Duff v. Tisdale.

The Tisdale response is so strange because it's We're like, all she wanted was attention about this story. She wrote about it not once, but twice, posted about it multiple times, and she got the attention that she wanted. Now we're all looking into what she's saying, and the results aren't what I think she had hoped because I don't think most people are on her side. Now she's backtracking. It's a very weird pick me behavior, and I'm getting the vibe that, as we predicted, she definitely seems insufferable. That's what Matthew Koma is saying to us. But it already didn't feel so much like a fair fight because it's all the girls against one. Now her husband's getting involved. It feels like housewives. When the husband gets involved and nobody else's husband involved, it gives me the ick. I don't know. I'm not loving... I like that Matthew Koma responded and confirmed, yes, this is about this group, and they left her because she sucks. But I don't know, when a boy gets involved, it's like, What are you doing here?

I agree. Pick on someone your own size. Like, men and women's sports. I'm not about it.

This is a man and women's sports. It's true. It's just not for you. I feel like the second he got involved, at first I thought, I was like, Oh, juicy. Then the more I sat with it, I'm like, I'm no longer having fun.

Yeah, I appreciated the initial juice.

You know what? This came from Hillary. I don't agree with you that anything he posts is not sanctioned by her. She's so famous. She was okay with him.

I don't think she wrote it herself. I think- No, he was like, Babe, I'm going to post this.

She was like, Sure, whatever. I literally don't think she cares. I just wish if they were going to respond, one of the women respond.

It would have gotten just as much-Famil Ryan seems to have.

Yeah, but in a very thinly vealed way. You could say, Oh, I just like this song.

Just like we were talking about chicken fry mastermind.

A lip sync doesn't... This is a very clear... It's a cut. It's clearly about... I just wish someone else had posted it. That's the only thing up until this point, I was writing for the other girls.

But you don't feel devil's advocate for Koma's advocate here? If someone is trashing your wife, don't you feel like it could be a husband's responsibility to step in and defend your wife?

I do.

If someone was writing articles about you and how you were there feeling, I would love to see Ben step up and call them the most insufferable person on Earth. I would respect that.

Okay, that's actually true. Yeah. I actually think that's a great example because Hilary is super famous and like, Matthew is famous, but less. Very similar to Ben and I. So the dynamics do apply. No, sometimes we make like analogies, and they don't... This is a perfect analogy. I am Hilary Duff.

The podcast is based- A former friend of yours who's a, whoa, and now she's crying on a press store crying, writing about her feelings.

No, Ben has to get in there and check that thing.

You're too big and too famous. You're not going to respond to this.

It's beneath me. This sad little person. But it's not beneath my less famous husband. Yeah.

And men should stick up for their wives.

No, you know what? You're 100% right. Something about men getting involved in women fighting, the housewives fan in me.

Well, the thing is, you can't apply it to housewives. Actually, that's really great that you bring that up because the housewives have a set of rules that they abide by, and it's no husbands. Because if the husband stuck up for their wives every time someone called them a mean name, it would be the househusband.

It would be the househusband. No, they follow a strict code of conduct.

In order to keep the show, the show, husbands can't get involved. Even though you want to, you want to support your life, you can't. You're right. So it's not housewives. It's real people's wives.

Okay, so the ick factor is subsiding. And I'm glad that We were right. Like, what he said is what we said yesterday. Sometimes a friendship doesn't serve you because you find someone annoying, you find them stupid, you find them whatever. And it's clear that they found her self-centered. Very Sharpey of her.

So sharpay-coated.

So Sharpey-coated.

So that's the latest on the drums. Check back in tomorrow.

Yeah, it's an ever-evolving story.

Yeah. There's so many players, so many social media accounts to post from.

Well, now there's also Haley Duff. So Haley Duff is obviously Hillary's- Haley Duff has entered the chat. Thank you for ringing this chat. She liked Ashley Tisdale's post promoting her article on the Cut. We know, and we've known for years, that Hillary and Haley are not on speaking terms. People are led to believe that it has to with them having different politics, which would be so crazy. That's never been confirmed, by the way.

This would be the second allegation of Hillary falling out over politics.

Right. So is Haley and Ashley Magga? But Ashley literally said, I'm a registered Democrat. This has nothing to do with politics.

Yeah. And if it was politics, Matthew Koma called her most self-obsessed, tone deaf person on Earth.

He would have said bigoted.

Yeah. That doesn't read political. No, you're right.

But Haley's involvement is curious.

Yeah. She She's obviously anti-Hilary.

And I want to say something. I could be beefing with my sister, not on speaking terms for 10 years. You will never find me siding publicly with someone who's beefing with my sister. Yeah, I hate you. I'll never talk to you again, but you're still my sister. So This is a major loser check in the column for Haley Duff. There were already a couple of checks in that column because... I don't like this on Haley's part.

I agree. I don't know what happened.

Even family who's not on speaking terms, There is a line. You're still family.

I agree.

So publicly taking Ashley Tisdale side, I don't like that. She knew what she was doing when she liked it. Of course. Because people are, especially internet slews, people are obsessed with the rift between Haley and Hilary Duff.

How could you not be? I didn't even know that there was a rift, but that's really surprising and saddening. It's very sad. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. Gwyneth Paltrow says she was fired from a movie after her decision to consciously uncouple from her husband, Chris Martin. So Gwyneth Paltrow went on good hang with Amy Poehler.

And I want to say I'm doing a 180 on Amy Poehler. I was just a hater of her podcast because we're over here doing this for 10 years. She comes in and gets nominated for her Golden Globe in less than a year. But you know what? The cream rises in podcasting, and everything I see from her podcast is fucking funny. Obviously, I know she's funny. She's Amy Poehler. But she's a really good podcaster. She gets great guests, and she does with the guests what you want. A lot of people get amazing guests, and it's like, Girl, move over. Let me do it. But Amy Poehler, she's a delight. And I'm revoking my her card. I don't ever hate her. I was just not happy for her success. But you know what? Now I am. Then she had Gwyneth, and any opportunity to make Gwyneth Paltrow be less misunderstood, I'm a big fan of because I started that committee 10 years ago.

Yes. Gwyneth Paltrow says her decision to consciously uncouple from her husband, led into her professional life. On the podcast, she said, I was supposed to do a movie at one point, and it was right after the conscious uncoupling thing with Chris. There was a lot of harsh stuff in the press. I think the distributor was like, this might be too hot to touch. She then added, So that was great because I was getting a divorce, and then I got fired off. So it was so awesome.

Did she say that she got fired because she was going through a divorce or because she was getting so much backlash, from the conscious uncoupling thing?

Backlash from conscious uncoupling.

That's really lame of the movie, and I wish she had said who it was.

I would love to know what movie it was.

She's really good about naming names. She often goes on podcasts and tells stories using names. So I wonder why she didn't.

Yeah. Conscious uncoupling was another cultural moment that I do feel like missed me. And now when I think about it in hindsight, of course, that's a crazy way to announce your divorce. But I understand the sentiment.

And in recent years, she has gone back and explained fully. She doesn't backtrack. She's like, No, I said what I said. You guys just didn't understand it. And when she explains it, it's like, Oh, yeah, that's really nice. It's just two people getting divorced who don't hate each other, who are going to make a really conscious effort to remain a family unit. And they've done it successfully. They co-parent really well. She was ahead of her time. She said that on Shark Tank, actually. Her thing is that she's ahead of her She gets made fun of a lot. She was doing gluten free, grain free, actually. No, sorry. Gluten free 10 years ago, and she was like, Who, who, crazy Gwendith. Now you can't walk into a restaurant without them having a gluten free menu. Now she's on to grain free, and it's still not super, and it will be the thing. And one of the Shark Tank Company was a grain free. She's very on the cusp of a lot of wellness things, a lot of trends. And Conscious Uncoupling, she was just ahead of her time. Mature queen.

You know what it reminds me of? The fanfare that it had was entanglement with the Smith.

Yes, that's a great comparison. Right? Yeah. But I just haven't gotten to the understanding phase of entanglement.

Well, it's just like...

Because you had an affair, but I guess the way she sees it is like, she just got entangled in something. She was caught up. Honestly, I feel that. Yeah. It almost wasn't her fault.

She was tangled.

Right. What would you do if you just got tangled up?

So anyways, per usual, justice for Gwyneth.

Her usual justice for Gwyneth. And Gwyneth is very goes on Choice podcasts. And I think it's a great PR strategy for her because she's slowly becoming much less misunderstood. I think for a while it was like, she's out of touch, she's yada, yada. But every time she sits down on a podcast, there's like, ice chips for people who don't get her, which is not us, get chipped away. And this was a good one. There were a lot of clips that went viral and a lot of funny moments. She should do more podcasts. I know she has one, but it's not about her. It's like she interviews other people.

Yeah, but she's definitely long form. You need to give her space.

She can't be put in a box.

Yeah. She's not like one sentence is going to sum it up.

No, she's not.

There's so much nuance. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. Ex-nfl pro Matt Khalil Sues his ex-wife, Haley, for saying his penis size ended their marriage. So Matt Khalil was formerly married to influencer Haley Bailey.

Yeah, do you know her?

I do know her.

She's TikTok, yeah. But she's like a huge now. She's one of the biggest TikTokers.

And she's on Reels. Yeah, of I've seen a bunch of stuff from her.

All the big creators are.

It's the place to be.

A hundred %.

And she made viral comments about his penis size. She claimed that his large penis size was the biggest factor in their 2022 divorce.

She went on a Twitch stream, right?

On Twitch in November.

A lot of people don't know. She has a weird backstory.

I didn't realize. I knew she was talking about someone's penis size. I actually just assumed it was negative.

Right. Okay. Her backstory- I didn't know she was formerly being married to an NFL player.

But please tell us.

She started blowing up on TikTok doing funny content. It's like, Oh, she's funny and pretty. It was crazy. She's a former model. I don't think she had a ton of success as a model, and that's why she turned to social media. She talked a lot about how it was just the worst industry ever. She loves it. She doesn't have to model anymore. And part of her backstory, as a model, she was married to an NFL player. Her name is Haley Khalil. People don't realize that's not her born name. That was her husband's married name. And nobody really cared so much about why they got divorced. It's not something that people wonder about But she did a Twitch stream, and we're just always learning more about her backstory. It's so strange. She said part of the reason that they got divorced was because they literally could not be intimate. He had the biggest penis ever. And she was like, We tried everything. She wasn't saying it in a salacious way, in a mean way. It was obviously complementary, but she was like, at a certain point, we couldn't be married anymore because we could not have sex.

It was just really crazy.

I know. It went so viral because it's literally a storyline in Sex in the City. Things like this don't happen where Samantha couldn't be with that guy because he was just too big. Honestly, I don't know who could be mad, but he's suing her.

So that's crazy. So he's suing her for invasion of privacy as well as unjust enrichment. Tmz reports claiming she's benefited financially and received a surge in traffic as a result of the comments. He is suing for damages with the amount exceeding over $75,000. According to a statement to Page 6, Haley Bailey said, The lawsuit is a shock. She said, The truth is in the original livestream, which is still live on Marlin's YouTube I speak highly of him in multiple ways throughout that conversation. I'm genuinely shocked and incredibly hurt upon receiving the news of this filing. Litigation is a harrowing and emotionally draining experience, and I'm heartbroken that he is choosing to subject us and our families to this ordeal.

Yeah. I mean, I could see him being upset about it being an invasion of privacy, even though NetNet, it's a positive for him. This does feel like a money grab. I don't know how much money he's making in the NFL. I had never heard of him before this. So Maybe it has something to do with that because she's definitely raking it in. She's one of the biggest TikTokers in the world.

Yeah.

She actually posted a video. I had sent it to you. What was it? About how she just broke up with her boyfriend, and she was like, Here are all the things my ex-boyfriend did to me. She was dating him for a year and a half. She won't say his name. It's so annoying. I won't say, but obviously, people know who it is. People do know.

You said he was in her content. Yes.

It turns out he was just like... Would I know him? No. It turns out he was just a grifter using her for likes comments subscribers. He was seeing multiple women.

Couch potato.

He didn't think for anything. Couch potato, worst boyfriend ever. She made this video being like, Here are all the things that...

My boyfriend did that. She had been red flag.

Right, but you wouldn't believe. When I tell you, you could not waterboard this information out of me, the fact that she's telling... She has maybe 15 million followers, telling 15 million people that she stayed with a man for a year and a half who didn't know her middle name halfway through their relationship, who on multiple occasions she had found was texting seeing other women. Some of the stuff she was saying, it was so shocking. And it was like, I know it's supposed to reflect poorly on him, but I'm not going to lie. I'm like, And you stayed with him for another year. I can't remember some of the stuff, but I remember sending it to you being like, The way I would never tell anyone this. I would take this information to my grave. I could find it in a play for you guys, but I'm not in the mood.

No, the personal accountability was not in the room at that very moment. No, it was not. You know the things you do for love, Koji.

So true. I'll do anything for you.

Yeah, this is extreme. I guess he just wants her to stop talking him. Okay, that's fair.

And he could have just sent a text.

Maybe he did. Especially if they ended amicably as she was saying, and everything's good. But now she certainly will stop talking about him.

Yeah. It had seemed up until this point, they actually had a really nice, quick marriage and a nice, quick divorce.

And when they got married, they were both famous.

She wasn't famous until TikTok.

You know what this reminds me of? Like, Brooks Nader and her ex-husband. How were you guys married? When did that happen?

Yeah. He was now engaged to Naomi Olindo.

I'm obsessed. I know. It's like, When did that happen? How come we didn't see any of that part? Which part? Just like, Brooks in.

Well, she wasn't famous.

I know, but it's just a crazy thing.

No, I'm sorry. She was famous.

She was Sports Illustrated.

She was famous during a great part of her marriage. Billy. Billy. We should have known they would end up divorced because you would never know she was married. I don't even know if she wore her ring. She never posted a picture of him. I found out she was married through a friend of mine. They were like, You know she's a husband. I'm like, Wait, what? Not that she was embarrassed of him, but she was not taking him to events. Maybe he didn't want to go on the carpet or he wanted to be private or she was ashamed of him. I don't know. The two people, the second she got a little bit famous, I don't think she wanted anyone to know she was married or it was such a bad marriage. I don't know.

I don't know. We don't know anything. I don't think it was so bad. I think it was just at the time that they got married, they were mostly right for each other and then just completely went in different directions. People change. Maybe the lifestyle that he has with Naomi now is more his speed. I really do ship. Me I feel like Brooks would even ship. It seems like everything was amicable. Her dad still likes him and talks to him.

You know, Brooks went on Watch What Happens Live with- Eric Jane. It was the best episode of Watch What Happens Live in history. They haven't had a night. That was vintage. They were both cursing, and it was just amazing. They were obsessed with one another. I don't think they had ever met before. I think Andy asked about it. She doesn't know the Bravo lore, but Andy was like, Would you ever go out with Craig? She was like, Who's that? Let me just say a ship. A ship. Yeah. Is that cute? They could swap. I think she loved him. I know. They could swap. She was like, I have no idea who that is. But, Brooks, you need to.

I love the idea of a wife swap. I think it makes so much sense because if A equals B, and C equals C, and C equals D, then A equals D.

Shania Twain.

Yeah. Just think about it. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Haya. Haya are vitamins for kids that kids enjoy eating, and they gamify them. They make them so fun for the kids to eat.

Am I ready for our fourth story? Yes. Where do Kyle, Richard, and Mauricio Umansky stand if they're a touchy appearance at a New Year's Eve party? Mauricio and Kyle were spotted getting chummy, touchy, and warm at a New Year's Eve celebration, sparking reconciliation rumors.

That would be so crazy. When I heard that, I was like, Honestly? I would be shocked because- So much has happened.

So much has happened. And you know what? I wound up I'm weirdly watching a season one episode of Real House Eyes of Beverly Hills. And I know, hindsight is 2020, but the writing was on the wall.

Okay. So we have definitely romanticized Kyla Marcia. A lot of people forget those first couple of seasons. There were a lot of cheating allegations.

She had someone... They were going to a party, the White Party. It was a season one White Party. She had her assistant or someone was doing her hair. And the way Marisa was looking at the- Assistant? The hair, the girl in the room, I was like, that would go viral now. Yes. It didn't even register at the time.

It did, though. People did not ship them. They're a Holy Grail housewives, royalty couple now. But a lot of people have amnesia. Also, a lot of people are new to the fandom. They forget the magazines. Remember when Lisa Van der Punt made Brandy bring those magazines to Mexico because they had reports of Mauricio cheating on Kyle. So it wasn't this perfect, always, forever marriage. Now we look at it like that, especially since they got divorced. Sometimes when you make it so far, it's like, well, every marriage goes through.

Even if he did cheat at those times. They worked through it, they got through it, and they're still together and stronger than ever. So if she can forgive, I can forgive, and we can move forward. But I'm just saying, even just small details on the show, now in hindsight, I'm like, Oh.

I mean, there was a reason why Allison Dubois said, Your husband will never emotionally fulfill you. It was so- I'm sorry.

I don't care what Marisa does. I will never concede that that bitch was right.

Okay. She might not have been a psychic. She could have just been reading the room and heard stuff around town. You know what I mean? True. Just context clues, not her third eye.

True.

She had said it, and that's why it was such a big deal because there was weirdness. Remember where there's smoke?

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

They said that in the show, and it was such a big deal. Their marriage was a storyline for many seasons.

I thought when she said that, she was literally might as well have been saying to Adam and Eve. Right.

She just was making things up too.

Romeo and Juliet.

So what does Page 6 say that they stand now?

So the source tells us weekly that they're not getting back together or rekindling their romance. The insider added that there's still so much still up between them and that they're in a really good place right now after announcing their split.

Well, that's good, actually. I could see you being at the same party as your ex-husband who you finally are on good terms with. Why would you be warm and cuddly?

Yeah, I would hope... I'm sure a separation and divorce are It's hard. They're even divorced. It's hard. Whatever. Separated is hard. But then I think eventually, you would come after all the hurt and pain. If you're both happier now, then you can look at this person and feel warm towards them.

Yes, that happens a lot. There are a lot couples.

And then get back together.

If Alex Earle's parents can be in the same room, anyone can.

Yeah. So I'm glad that they're in that stage of warm and fuzzy. Yeah. But I don't think they're getting back together. I would be, I would seriously be shocked because they have completely different lives now.

I ended up on like, Morgan Wade talk for a week where I was just seeing lots of videos of her, at her concerts and stuff. And you know, her and Kyle walk the same. You know how everyone talks about Kyle's walk? It's like stout and like, cowboy-like. Yeah. They I go to the same walk.

Well, she's a cowgirl. So I think that's where that- She's like...

It's just so crazy that her name is Morgan Wade, and she's a country singer. Do you know what I mean? Why? Morgan Wallen? Like, it's just like, what are the odds?

I guess.

No, it's weird.

Okay.

It's weird.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Some biz news.

Oh, am I? I'm obsessed with this story.

Warner Brothers Discovery rejects Paramount's latest takeover offer, says it's still insufficient compared with the Netflix deal. So the song remains the same. Warner Bros Discovery has turned down the latest acquisition offer by David Ellison's Paramount Skydance, and WBD's board is continuing to back the company's deal with Netflix. On Wednesday, Warner Brothers officially responded to Paramount's latest $30 per share all cash bid for Warner Brothers Discovery, its eighth takeover offer to date. Paramount Skydance offer is not more favorable to WBD stockholders than the Netflix merger and continues to be inadequate, they said, because of its insufficient value taken into account price and Numerous risks, costs, and uncertainties.

This is where just math is so important, right? Because Warner Brothers is a publicly traded company, they legally have to take the best offer for their shareholders. Paramount has said, and we know the price per share, their offer is more money, billions more, a couple of bill more. So they have to accept it. And so they're saying that it's not better for our shareholders. But someone's lying. Who is it?

Yeah, they maintain the Netflix deal as better. They say P. Sky is a company with $14 billion market capitalization, attempting an acquisition requiring $94 billion of debt and equity financing, nearly seven times its total market capitalization. To affect the transaction, it intends to incur an extraordinary amount of incremental debt, more than $50 billion through arrangements with multiple financing partners. In contrast, Netflix is a company with a market capitalization of approximately $400 billion. So they're basically saying they can't afford us.

They have more money, right.

They can't afford us, but they're taking on partners.

Like money is money. Money is green.

If it is green.

Is it red?

Oh, no.

You know, I've seen red money.

Okay. Tell me about that.

It's like one of my most famous stories. I'm sure you've heard it. I to win us to bank robbery on 72nd and third. And I want to say...

Is red money a term?

Well, I was saying red, like when you're in the red, in debt. But no, red money. So when you rob a bank and they give you the money, it's actually wrapped up in these... Sort of how when you buy a shirt and it has a security tag if you try to rip it off. They say ink will come out. I've never seen that. Is that true?

I've never tried to rip it off because I don't want ink.

Me too, I'm not a thief.

Then I'm not a thief.

Right. But if you do rob a bank, they give you a wad of cash. It still has a security thing on it. So if you rip it off, it actually explodes red ink, and it burns a hole in the money. So on 72nd and third, all of a sudden, all this money starts pouring onto the street. It's like it was a windy day, blowing in the street. All the money is read, and it has a big hole cut out in the middle. It's a security measure that even if you rob a bank, like, Sorry, but you can't have the money. And then, of course, famously, the police showed up and they said, Did you see the guy? I said, I did. He was wearing a purple Lacoste polo, blue jeans, running up Third Avenue. I actually said, because I was watching a lot of Laura Nader at the time, I said, Running north because I know Third Avenue goes uptown.

That would probably save them a lot of legwork.

I know. It was good, right? I had been waiting my whole fucking life for this. I remembered everything. He was bald. He had a purple. I could literally... I could pick him out of a lineup to this day. I knew in the moment how special I was experiencing, and I was like, remember everything. I didn't want to be one of those classic eye witnesses with poor memory. Running north up third Avenue. Worked alone, which I thought was interesting.

Do you think that your desire to be involved in the case is a bias in itself?

Of course, but they didn't care. They were like, Do you think you could identify him? And I was like, What It looks stupid. Of course I could. It was three seconds ago.

You're actually such an unreliable witness because you wanted so bad.

I know. They didn't know how desperate I was at the time. So they were like, Get in the car. Come. We're going to drive and find him. And I was like, Obviously, Ben, I'd call my purse. And Ben was like, You can't go. And And I was like, I can't. He was like, No, are you crazy? I'm like, Am I crazy? I couldn't. And they were like, The police were like, Ma'am, we don't have time. Get your fat ass in the car. And I was like, okay.

Reliable witness, they called him.

Am I being crazy? Am I being crazy?

Is this a crazy thing to do?

And I was like, Oh, I guess it is crazy. Ben's always right, I thought at the time. Never thought that again. I was like, No, sorry, I can't. They're like, We're done with you. And they just got in the car and ran north on Third Avenue. And then I was walking, continuing to walk a two blocks, and we were like, That was so crazy. I look at Ben, I'm like, You're fucking stupid. Why did I listen to you? It's one of my biggest regrets, of course, you guys know, listening to Ben. That was actually the last time I ever listened to him.

That's not true. You listen to him a lot.

Jacques Cusse, would you like to substantiate that with some claim?

Nothing that I can say here. Okay, who is he? I'm back into a corner.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, you didn't even have to say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the last time I listened to Ben.

That should be the last time you listened to him. Well, I'm glad for this story because it let you tell your favorite story. You know what?

And that's what we mean when we say that the Fast Five are a gateway drug.

You're right, though. You did see red money. I didn't know what you were about to say. We've just learned a lot about how to not rob a bank.

Yeah. So if you're going to rob a bank, it's actually not a good choice for a million reasons. You're most likely not going to get away with it, but also the money that you steal. It's not like in the movie. It's not just loose bills.

It's marked.

It's marked. It can be traced back to you. It's actually not usable. If you take one of those red, burned five dollar bills to a bodega, they're going to be like, get out of here.

Of course. With a hole in it?

Right. They're like, no, we only accept full bills.

Right.

So just like, fun fact of the day, rob a target or something or get a job.

Yeah. Don't rob.

Yeah. No, don't rob. That's not the lesson I want to leave you guys with. Robbing is actually bad. I've witnessed so many robberies.

Don't rob.

I witnessed a robbery in Dwayne Reid during COVID. It was funny because it was in the city and they have a high bar for what to be afraid of. No Nobody moved. No other customers. I think everybody looked at him and shamed him into leaving. They were like, You're not serious, right? And he had a knife, too. Nobody moved. Okay. Yeah. And then also when I got... Why was he doing at that CVS? I feel like maybe I was getting a flu shot or something. Why was he in the CVS?

I don't know. Getting your basic needs met.

No, but in the city, you don't go to CVS. You go to Dwyane Reid. He used to.

It just depends your location.

I feel like maybe I was getting my COVID shot because I went to this random CVS where you could get an appointment. It was like the hunger game back then. Yeah, I think I was getting it. Yeah, yeah. And it got robbed. He was filling up his backpack with snacks, and they just didn't care.

Yeah, they have But they just- No, and it's also like, I don't own this store.

I'm not going to put my life out on the line because you want some chips. I understood them deeply. Yeah, and that's like- It's more of a cultural issue. Why are we robbing? And this poor clerk who's just on his shift wasn't going to solve it. Yeah. Have you ever stolen anything? I don't think so.

And I wouldn't say it here.

I feel like you stole my jacket that you wear on New Year's, right from my closet. And I hadn't seen it in years.

It's a family heirloom. What? It's a family heirloom.

That was given to me.

And me?

No, actually, just me.

I've been wearing that since after Dale.

I've been wearing that coat. I had that coat in college. And then- And obviously, when you were living in that apartment, it'll be at 77, whatever that building was called, you obviously wore it on a night out because it was my night out jacket, and you just never gave it back.

Yeah. No, I remember I wore it on Afterdale because it was like very Sheryl Blossom.

Okay, so I lent it to you for a costume.

It does sound like you had it for a time, and then I had it for a time.

Well, I'd like it back. I live in New York, and you don't. What do you need a fur coat for?

You could just fucking ask. I give you anything you want. It's true. Instead, you have to accuse me of being a thief.

Will you accuse me of being shy?

I have the stuff to back it up.

So What do I, jacket?

And I just want to say it is a family coat, and my run with it is done. I would be happy. Your reign has ended. I'd be happy to give it to you. Great.

I'd be happy to receive it. I'll be picking it up. I'm actually coming over for dinner, so.

Great. No need for Jacuzzi. You have big plans tonight?

What are you doing?

I'm having dinner with you on Forge. Oh, but who are you going to talk to?

Because your dinner maid is so shy.

No, we are having dinner. I'm really excited. I'm hungry. And we're having lunch together too, if we can stop biting.

We are having lunch together if we can stop biting.

I thought you were going to be like, Oh, we are biting.

By the way, tomorrow's a big day. Tomorrow's Trader's Day, the day we've been waiting for for months. We are watching Trader's. I hope so. And I think, if I read correctly, that they're releasing the first three episodes. Okay, good. So how are we going to watch it all in one night?

I don't know. That's what I was thinking.

Maybe we watch it over the weekend because it comes out Thursday night.

Yeah, and it's not like all of you have watched it the first night.

So maybe Monday will be Trader's.

Okay, I think that's good.

Yeah.

I don't want to take on too much.

I also weirdly watched, for some reason, the season finale of this Real House. I was in Salt Lake City last night because Ben wasn't home and the show that we watched together, I couldn't watch.

Well, please don't spoil it because- It was really bad, I just want to say.

I've heard so much. I've been off to Salt Lake City train for a while.

You watched this current- Yeah, in Greece, right? Yeah. I'm not there.

Oh, my God. It was not good. Okay. But I was intrigued.

Okay. Well, I'm going to watch it. My new favorite show.
