Transcript of Pee Pee Before Sleepy: Thursday, July 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 Thursday! If we look refreshed, it's because we are. No Love Island, we caught up on our sleep, we're ready to go. We've Got your toasters. Hey, Jax, how you doing?

I'm doing good.

Yes, one night free from Love Island, and it was one of the better nights of my summer.

The, the flesh has returned to our—

correct. So we weren't bogged down by like this genuinely disturbed group of individuals.

Yeah, I actually wouldn't have even been able to watch last night given how my evening went. We were ready for like a party evening of mosh, but little baby Paxton said no. He said no, Mama.

Not for you, but like I ended up just going to bed.

Yeah, it was like a, you know, it was a bad night.

I have two things to say. First, that July 9th, the beat of your heart, it jumps through your shirt. I can still feel your arms.

And now one, I go sit on the floor watching your clothes. The sound that I know is I don't know how to be someone you miss. That's beautiful.

Yes, of course.

And I know you said that was like a segue, right? Birthday Eve.

I want credit.

Like, I'm so chill.

Like, I'm so not like other girls.

Honestly, annoyingly chill, because like when the day comes, you're gonna be like, ratata, what are we doing? What did you do?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Or if the day passes and it's not special, you're gonna be like, it wasn't special.

No, no, no. I feel like I've been so chill, first of all. Like, let's just go back to that. Like, I haven't even brought up the fact, like, at all this week. Not once on the show have I brought it up that tomorrow is my birthday.

Okay.

And that's just on growth. And second of all, I really mean— everyone's like, what do you want to do? It's Shabbat. I want to have like a beautiful Shabbat dinner with my family. The day, like, we'll come do the toast, maybe we'll like go have lunch, like what we usually do every day.

To make a resi?

No, no, no, no. Every day is special when we're together, like for real.

I actually saw someone saying like, because we were saying Heather's not PFFB because we're together, and they were like, well, why don't you tell us how your trip is?

Our trip is going amazing.

Yeah, you're like, how many different ways do you want us to say like we're having the best time?

So we need to rub it in, you know, because It's not that it hurts you, it just hurts you, you know?

And also, it's funny, like, there's not a lot to say when things are so great.

No, of course. That's why, like, my, my professional life is always slaying when my personal life is going through it. Like, when I have lots to complain about, like, those are the episodes, you know? When things are going amazing, like, nobody wants to hear about that, sweetie.

No, it's like, our house does not have mold, right?

We, we rented a great house this year.

There are hydrangeas. Like, we're seriously in heaven.

I like obviously, um, like I'm not where I want to be at physically, but like I'm learning to live with it. Like, yeah, it's all good, it's all good in the hood.

The fun boy floats arrived. Correct. It just keeps getting better, and nobody wants to hear that.

Like, nobody wants to hear that. So yeah, we'll just dive in, you know.

We've been farming, we've been walking, we've been going for so many walks. You've been swimming.

We've like, seriously, we've never been closer and we've never ever been happier. Is that what you guys want to hear? That's what we want to hear.

And how many different ways can we really say that? Can we say that for 20 minutes a day? No, but the Romanoffs went through it, right? Talk about people who weren't having a swirly summer, who were not having shalom b'ayit. Yeah, in the house, in the bayit of special purpose.

1,000%.

So that's how our trip's going.

We have deer toasters today. We have an update on a decades-old deer toasters. I'll leave it at that. It's one we recently unearthed.

Speaking of decades old, Toasters, um, we sort of went viral yesterday for our, um—

oh, for our take on a viral trend, for our piece of viral content. Yeah, everyone's like doing— it's actually a really funny trend where it's like you basically pretend to sit down for a documentary and they're like, me if they ever made a documentary about like having a fat ass, and like, that's literally me. And so we did it being like us like sitting down for a documentary if Netflix ever makes a documentary on toxic Facebook groups. And so Jack and I just spent the morning talking about like that era of our career. It was such a crazy time.

Yeah, and the comments are really taking me back. When I think of the toxic Facebook group, like, I have my core moments, right?

Of course. But actually, Jessica RN, other people are like, brown-eyed girl, Ruthie, Ruthie, Ruthie, Jonah. And let me tell you, I love the name Ruthie, like, for a baby, but I feel like once I named my first baby Ruby, I could never do like a Ruby and a Ruthie. It would be such a confusing household. So now I can say that, like, at one point that was definitely on my list.

Yeah.

Um, And then the lore of like Joda Hill like only made me love the name even more because that Ruthie, she was a great girl.

She was a great girl. So justice for Ruthie. But the comments there were so funny. People were saying like, I miss this time of Toast. Like, can we get a Patreon deep dive?

Oh sure, I can make more Facebook groups.

Have we not done that?

Have we not beat that horse dead?

Have we not done Toast Facebook toxic groups at a glance?

I don't know if we've ever done a dedicated episode, but it somehow comes up in every deep dive.

Like maybe we should do the documentary about it. That would actually be like a funny Patreon.

What's so funny that you're gonna love is like, I actually recently met a documentary filmmaker and he was like, do you ever like want to do like a documentary?

I want to do a documentary about it, like just for Patreon, like as an episode on Patreon.

Of course, patreon.com.

I don't actually like want to get involved. And then of course, like, people are coming out from like their own toxic Facebook groups being like, haha, like, of course we weren't the only ones.

Have you guys heard of the Skinny Confidential? Hers was really bad. Yeah, hers had to be shut down. So did ours. All right, all— there are still groups because people back home— I'm not in it, but people always talk about the Upper East Side Moms Facebook group.

Did it start as a toast group?

No, no, no, but it is like a quintessential toxic mom Facebook group. Like, I— the things I hear from my friends who are in it, like, are so crazy. They're always sending me screenshots. So some of those groups still do exist, but it was very much like a 2020 era type thing.

Yeah, no, but it was different when it was like for your favorite podcast or show or whatever it is, but it was a lot of podcasts. Like, if you had a podcast, you just had a group.

You made a Facebook. That's just what you did. It's just what you did. Yeah, it was like, kind of felt like, you know, you make an Instagram for your podcast, you make a Facebook group for your podcast. Like, that's what it was. Yeah, it was such a crazy time.

It was. So that was a fun trip down memory lane.

And yeah, what else?

Oh, and then I had my own day yesterday, like I said that I would. Yeah, we promised everybody, and then I didn't tell you about it. So do you want to hear about it?

Yeah, because I came home and did nothing.

So I went around Swamp and got myself lunch because I didn't have a meal the day before.

So Bethany.

And And I had a delicious ahi tuna salad. Wow. And then I picked up some nice things for the house. Of course, some school treats. We had tacos for dinner, so I got like some guac, some chips. I didn't go crazy 'cause I could only carry so much.

Of course.

But I did do what I said I was gonna do when I went around.

You're a woman of your word.

I am.

A woman of integrity.

Then I went shopping like I said I was gonna do.

Mm-hmm.

I got this new cup. It's Ralph Lauren coffee cup.

I love shopping for cups.

I love this cup.

So can I say—

I, I was so excited to wake up this morning. Yeah. And use my new cup.

Yeah. I know, I get it. Cup culture. I feel like I used to— it used to pass me by. I used to see people like showing off their cabinets of cups. I'm like, seriously, you guys are crazy. How many cups do you need? And some people do take it too far, like beating each other up to get like the Starbucks collabs. But like, I fully get now like the cup obsession. I just bought myself a new Stanley, and I just want to say, not to like put Stanley on blast, but if you're paying full price for a Stanley—

you didn't—

no, I didn't. Yeah, no, I would never.

You got it at HomeGoods.

That's what I'm saying. Do you know how many they have at HomeGoods? I guess they're like the overstock colors or whatever. This is a cute purple cup.

Oh, you would say— I think you were saying if you're paying full price for a Stanley, like, it better not No, no, no.

If you're paying full price for a Stanley, like, you're dumb. Like, do not ever pay unless it's like a brand new collab with Love Shack Fancy. Like that, I understand.

I once paid so much money for a Stanley.

I know, I always think about the fact that you told me one time you bought a $60 Stanley.

I think it was like $80.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Do you know how many they have at TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls? Like hundreds of brand new. And it's not like they're Duty Brown.

And they're not Stanley, they're Stanley.

They're Stanley brand. I saw pink, I saw blue, I saw green. They have something for everyone. Boys, girls. What are you buying a Stanley full price for? Every time I go to TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, I'm like so surprised that they have Stanley's. I don't know why I'm surprised, but they have like racks and racks of them. Yeah, guys, cardboard, cardboard tip of the day.

Cardboard tip of the day.

Do not be buying Stanley's.

Or you could buy this one.

How much did you buy?

Honestly, Ralph Lauren? No, I don't even know. And I need to have a referendum on Apple Pay because— oh yeah, yesterday I hit the shops. I was just— I had a little bit of like time in between my two activities, so I just had time to kill. And like, I I will buy anything. Yeah, people always say like with Apple Pay, like it's out of control.

Apple Pay is— people always compare different things, like it's Monopoly money. Apple Pay is Monopoly money.

Like, I think the act of having to get my credit card out of my bag would make me stop and think about what— is it worth doing that?

Yeah. And I would love to actually remove Apple Pay from my phone in an attempt to save money, but like it's a life-saving device. Of course, if I'm ever out— like, if you ever— part of like being a New Yorker is like growing up getting into a cab and like realizing you don't have your wallet. Like, it was such a scary thing. You're like, what do you do? No, not with Apple Pay, that's a thing of the past. So like for my safety, I have to have it.

I actually got my manicure and I intended to pay with like my card and then tip in cash. And I didn't have my wallet. I didn't have it. That never happens to me. I was like, you take Apple Pay? Thank God. But like it's really a dangerous device in the hands of the wrong person, me.

How many cards do you have on your Apple Pay?

Just one.

I got about 4.

Just one, and she goes hard in the paint.

Yeah, I saw, I used it yesterday.

You saw me use it yesterday?

I used it.

Oh, you used mine. I guess my receipts from Apple Pay are on my phone, like, yeah. Oh, excuse me, I didn't buy that today.

No, but then you get to see like the, the vendors, um, real, real company holding, holding company names.

Yeah, like I was buying sunglasses, sunscreen. I went to the hardware store, of course I could find something.

What'd you need at the hardware store?

Um, I was— I didn't find what I needed, but I got another collapsible laundry basket. Always good to have, always, always good to have in the house because I had been previously sharing a hamper with Max and I thought we could each have our own.

Oh, that's kind of indulgent. I share a hamper with Ruby and Ben.

I share a hamper with Zach, but I just felt like Paxty needed his own little one. Um, I might have gotten a little something for my sister.

Me? Oh, why? Is there a special day coming up?

I might have been brought up— I might have gotten you a little bit of something.

Well, I would hope so, it's a special day.

I don't even remember what that store was. So yeah, I think I hit 7 stores Go you! Charge it.

Shopping is her cardio.

It really was.

You like need that t-shirt.

Oh, and also the game has changed because I have my Tesla here which can parallel park. I personally can't parallel park, and like, so ordinarily I actually wouldn't have gone to Ralph Lauren because it's only parallel parking.

Well, there's parking in back, it's like a long walk.

It's just too much. I didn't want to go that badly, but there was a spot right out front. Tessie parked for me.

Beautiful.

Like, I love loving in this day and age. Like we said yesterday, I really felt like a modern woman.

You are a modern woman.

Yeah, no, but I really was taking advantage of all of the modern conveniences yesterday. I got a pair of shorts from Ralph Lauren. They went down a size. Yes, very—

oh wow.

I'm like very aware of my size right now, which I never—

oh, that's upsetting.

He like asked because I don't know, I got like these pants and I was like, oh, I like how these fit, like this is my— this is my size. And then I got like another pair of pants because these are like a little bit loose. So I was like, maybe I could get the next size down. And yeah, they fit.

I obviously don't love wearing shorts, but given the fact that we are like hardworking women who podcast with our legs out, full body podcast, I can't really wear shorts. I wouldn't— like, I'm just not in a position. I think at my most fit, I like twice wore shorts on the podcast. It's just crazy to wear shorts on the podcast. So it really limits what I can wear over the summer. Try being an influencer for a day. Try it.

Yeah, like I couldn't sit like this in shorts.

Correct. I literally wouldn't dream of it.

So yeah, it's not as short, but like for the other days, on the other half of the day. So we have stories that are the stories, nothing in a positive or negative way, neither. They're the stories. Like some days are obviously a cup runneth over, other days this drought.

We have Kylie for Duncan.

Oh, you know what, we don't. I almost did it yesterday.

Let me just briefly talk about it before we dive in.

No, no, I'll add it.

I was like, we're here now. Like, it's on the tip of my tongue.

Yeah, I just want to say, like, if I don't have anything nice to say, I don't want to say anything at all.

I hated it so much for so many reasons. One, like, I'm so over going back into the archives and like King Kylie era. It's like, you've done so much, you're iconic now, you're more iconic now. So like, it's giving has-been, which she's not. Two, like, she's very much in her brand deal era. Like, I feel as though, you know, remember there was a rumor that the Kardashians were broke like a couple years ago? It is giving broke. Like, I just want to say Because like, the meta thing I didn't scoff at, because when you're a billionaire, you could still do brand deals, but they have to be like worth it.

I think she— I don't know, in the last year or so, like, has become so popular, so respected. So she's always been like very cool, but you know, in reality circles, whatever. And like, I don't know, now it's with Timothée and just everything, and she is just seriously the most influential person on the planet, the coolest person on the planet. And I think like she is now getting paid so much money for these things. You know, back in the day, used to do like the gummies and like Sugar Bear Hair, and still that was probably like a million dollars a post, and she was like making money that way. But I think the money is so good for brand deals for her right now because every brand— any brand on the planet—

she's got her finger on the pulse—

would be so lucky to have her as their spokesperson. It's true.

The creative for this campaign, like, I just couldn't have hated more.

I agree.

And also, like, I actually think, first of all, she's so pretty, she can't look bad. But I think actually like the glam here, like she looked— that was not good glam.

No, it wasn't.

The pink hair washed her out and the outfit wasn't good. And it's just that she goes back and does a King Kylie, she always looks pretty, so she like still looks cool. But this was like bad.

The overall aesthetic was like not it. It was like— it was a— I feel like at the time King Kylie was awesome, but if you like, we did it now, it would be like, oh, actually it was the trend of the time.

Now it like gives choogy.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know, I didn't like it.

I didn't like it either, but you know what, I'm sure the paycheck was so big. How much did you pay?

Because like, what did we say?

Like, she was like, I'll wear whatever wig you want me to.

For Meta, we thought what, she got like $100 million?

I think for Meta she got $100 million. I think for Dunkin' she got $20 million.

$10 million? Okay. $15 million.

So I don't think she's broke, I just think the money's really good right now. And not every Kardashian can say that, not every celebrity can say that. I feel like Mariska, she's going through.

Well, you know, your currency comes and goes, like you're hot and you're not, so you do have to cash in when you're hot. I just thought this one missed the mark.

Yeah, in terms of the creative, yeah, like, which I don't think she had a hand in.

No, but like, she has so much personality. People like don't really know that about her, and that's why I think people liked her so much on Therapist, like when she's just herself, which we never really see. Hashtag who is the real Kylie. And I know it would have been a good opportunity just to show off more of her personality or just like old thing again.

No, and like her current look, which is like, that's the reason why she's so popular right now.

Look is like she sets the trends.

Yeah, like just like cool girl having a Dunkin'. Cool girls drink Dunkin'. Yeah, there you go.

There There you have it.

There you go.

Yeah, you should have called me and you didn't, and that's something you'll have to live with.

Yeah. Now without further ado, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know.

And the Fast Five Stories that you need to know are brought to you by Vivrelle. If you don't know Vivrelle yet, you are truly missing out. It's a members-only club where you can experience designer bags and jewelry. So think of it as a rotating dream closet that you don't have to commit to, and their closet is insane. So I know that a lot of you guys are probably familiar with like clothing rental services Well, Vivrelle is a one-of-a-kind luxury bag borrowing service. They make luxury— they don't make, sorry, they have luxury bags, accessories, jewelry, like literally anything that you could dream of. And when we're talking luxury, like we're talking luxury. They have Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, all the brands you dream about. I actually just got— I'm borrowing currently an Hermès clutch. So if you see me clutching around with an Hermès clutch, like don't look at me, okay?

Don't clutch your pearls.

It's Vivrelle. The way it works is that once you're accepted into the club as a member, you just pick the piece that you want to borrow and then it shows up at your doorstep. It feels surreal.

I do plan on keeping my Hermès clutch, if anyone's wondering, for the summer because it's like this sort of bright coral-y summery color. Um, so if you were looking for that one, it is out.

Today's episode is also brought to you by ZBiotics. They are the makers of the world's first genetically engineered probiotics. So your first drink of the night for a better tomorrow should be ZBiotics.

It's engineered by a team of PhD microbiologists. It's a pre-alcohol, which is a probiotic drink that breaks down the byproduct of alcohol, which is responsible for rough days after drinking. So, you know, we ain't no spring chickens, and one thing about me, I love a cocktail, but these days, like, I just really can't unless I'm taking ZBiotics. Because I need to get up the next day. I'm a mother, I'm a sister, I'm a friend, I'm a business owner. I can't be laying around all day. And that's why we love ZBiotics. So how it works: step 1 is you have to drink the pre-alcohol. For best results, make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Step 2, you know, drink responsibly, pace yourself, hydrate, get a good night's sleep. And then 3, enjoy tomorrow. You will wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. It's such a great option if you are a social drinker. Like, I feel like when, you know, when you become a parent, a lot of people just stop going out, stop drinking, stop, you know, engaging in cocktail culture. But you don't have to, and that's why I really like, um, ZBiotics.

Also, if you're just a yes person— I'm personally in my decade of no— but if you're a social person, you want to say yes to every plan, you can drink like there's a tomorrow because there is with ZBiotics pre-alcohol.

You're welcome.

Our first story: Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff separate after 3 years as sources say their marriage has been rocky. So after the show yesterday, TMZ reported that they are splitting. Now a source is adding that the pair's relationship has been rocky. A second insider adds that the two of them are figuring things out. He is currently in the midst of his tour while she is in pre-production for a horror In case you aren't watching, I'm smiling.

I love this. Even though he like then left the house yesterday like still wearing his wedding ring, like very manipulative energy. Um, I love this. Can't stress enough how much I love it. Does make me feel that the relationship between Margaret Qualley and Taylor is over. Yeah, I don't know if they were ever that tight.

Yeah. Um, which is fine. I mean, it's friends.

I liked it, but like, it's fine. It's completely fine. And I just really want what's best for Margaret. Like, I'm ready for, I think, like I said yesterday, Margaret is very much on track to becoming this generation's like big actress. And a part of that like is dating and getting married to other celebrities. And it's like Jack Antonoff was very much a stepping stone. Thank you for your time and your dedication to this cause, but your time is up. And I'm looking forward to seeing who she dates next, honestly.

It's not date, so it's ma— I think it's crazy they got married. I know.

I can't—

they didn't have to get married. They could have been together this whole time.

It's been 3 years. Do you remember their wedding? They got married in Jersey Shore and it became like a whole thing about, uh, because Taylor was there and like people found out and like they literally— the public ruined their wedding. So people think Margaret Qualley hates Taylor because of that, because there are theories that Margaret and Taylor didn't get along, especially— I saw a clip on Twitter this morning, two separate interviews where Margaret Qualley was asked about— one time she was asked about Lana Del Rey. Lana Del Rey has a song called Margaret and it was like a gift that she gave to Jack. And so GMA or something like asked Margaret about it, and she was just like gushing. She was like, I couldn't believe it, it's like so sweet, I love Lana, she makes the most amazing music with Jack, like the two of them are just magic. Like, it was so complimentary. And then like they asked her about Taylor, and at the time I think people were just like— we— I think we probably talked about on the Toast.

Yeah, I remember Margaret hates Taylor.

It's like, well, no, it's just fucking annoying when someone's trying to promote a movie and every question is about Taylor Swift.

Even that, anything that you say when asked about her is going to be like dissected. It's like Donna Kelce wound up coming off rude.

Someone comes off rude about Taylor, I almost always— they just sort of like don't want to feed the fire.

Plus it was about TLOAS and Jack didn't work on TLOAS, so that was like, what are you supposed to say?

Yeah, so when you just compare the clips side by side, it is giving like beef, although I don't think so.

Also, did you see that it appears so Lana wasn't at the wedding?

Yes, and Lana was, you know, in her Instagram comments talking to people like very much confirming, like, I wasn't there. Yeah, there's weird between Lana and— remember when— there's so many weird things.

No, but they're like best friends. She brought her on stage for the acceptance speech, which was weird. Yeah. But like, that speaks to a level of closeness.

And I just want to say, like, collab with Lana and not being able to hear Lana, so she released another version that's like more Lana. Like, that's weird.

At a certain point, like, all of these friendships, like, it's confounding, you know?

Yes, it was just a piece of headline that Taylor Swift has 5 goddaughters and none of them were there because so many close friendships and like so many on the rocks, so many cut off completely, like It's very strange.

I do think now that she's like married, you know, that's where you pour into. And I think like it's not going to be like the friendship roller coaster anymore. But Lana and Blake and Carly, like, were Jamie King, her closest, closest friends in the—

Kelly, Kelly, Jamie King.

She's got daughter Jamie King, but Jamie King has her own issues. But like, I agree with you. Now I've stated 5 people and I haven't even racked my brain yet.

Of course, think about the girl gang era, Hailee Steinfeld, Zendaya.

But I'm talking about Best close friendships, sisters.

So while yes, I agree with you, if this was somebody I knew from high school, I would be like, well, you're the problem, like duh. I think that maintaining a friendship with someone who is like the most famous person in the world, whether you're the friend or you're Taylor, like I think it is going to be more ripe for like breakups and stuff. So yes, I agree that more often than not, like when somebody has so many friendships that like end, you start to wonder like You know, well, maybe are you the problem? But these are not typical situations.

Like, but I'm not, but I'm not even talking about the casual friendships.

You're talking about the deep sisterhood.

They come and go.

Yeah.

Like, you don't get that many friends like that in your life of like best friends, sisters. So like Blake is one of those people.

Okay. But the Blake case, like that's extend, that's a crazy circumstance.

I can extend. Okay. You can lose a couple of sisters along the way.

Yeah.

But like 5 plus Carly was a sister.

Yeah. But like, the Scooter Braun thing.

Like, these crazy things happened to Lana. Was a sister. Well, Lana was not a sister, but like, she was on stage for the acceptance. I thought it was weird that Taylor did that.

I thought it was weird that Taylor did that, and I didn't like it at the time.

Kelly dated for the 3 minutes.

Yeah, for sure. But it was a 3-minute friendship.

It was not.

And some friendships burn fast and bright.

And you used to argue that it was a longer friendship. I thought they became friends when my— you— when Miles did that video. But you said they'd been friends for a long time.

Did I say that?

Yeah.

I don't think that I did.

That's how I remember it. You convinced me they were friends for a long time. And then they became like super close. But for a person who doesn't go to award shows or do red carpets—

Did I say that?

—to go with Kelly, that's a sister.

But like, I don't think that. So why would I say it? But I believe you.

I remember like the way I thought about their friendship was like they met on the set of—

Well, no, they had to get to the set. I bet you— Miles got that gig because of Kelly.

Because Kelly's a fan.

Yeah, either she was a fan or they were friends. I don't remember exactly.

You said it goes back. Did I? Let me ask chat really quickly. Hold on. What did Claudia say?

No, no, no, I'm just going to ask like, when did Taylor Swift's friendship with Kelly Teller begin? Even though like chat knows nothing.

Yeah, we know more than chat. Maybe they can reference. Chat is referencing the toast when he sounds—

we are a source. He's searching the web, AKA listening to episodes of the toast. 2018, they met around the Reputation Stadium Tour. Kelly posted her first photo with Taylor backstage, so they— it shows that they were at least friendly. 2019, Taylor sent them a note and flowers for their wedding. 2021, that's when they became much closer. I Bet You Think About Me. Yeah. '23-'24, regularly seen together backstage at the Eras Tour. All right, so I'm not like totally wrong, but I guess like they knew each other in 2018.

Yeah, but everybody went backstage at Rep. Yeah. It wasn't like the Eros tour. There was a rep room.

Yeah, she wasn't a sister, but yeah, no, it's another friendship. It doesn't make her look good, I completely agree. But then you look like Jamie King and it's like, well, I would argue Jamie King's probably the problem in that one, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, because isn't that when your friends need you?

Yeah, but like at a certain point, like if you're like, you can't help, you can't, and you're like enabling just by continuing to be that person's friend.

No, no, I understand.

Yeah, no, no, I hear you. And a lot of people are saying that, like it is a lot of friends.

It's a lot of just like roller coasters of friendships. Yeah, but then there are a—

but she's also like known for being like insanely loyal to both friends and like colleagues. Like, you know, of course Abigail, but like people she works with, people in her band. Selena Gomez.

For all the ones of sisters who have gone, there are sisters who have stayed. We're still there. Haime, Selena Gomez, Gigi. Yeah, Ashley. Ashley, luckiest girl alive.

Yeah, yeah. No, you're like— I hear you. But I think that like it's hard to maintain friendships, period. But when you like the craziest things going on in your life, like, like the Scooter Braun Masters recording, like Kim and Kanye, yeah, that doesn't like make a breeding ground for like amazing friendships. And like people in Hollywood are so fucking like fickle and finicky, and it's like the second you become unpopular, like everyone drops you. Like, yeah, shit like that's gonna happen.

But all of these things are post that. Of course, every person that I've mentioned, yeah, made it through that point.

I just don't think it's like an automatic, like, red flag. I don't know, but it's curious.

Lana now, like, yeah, I would love to know Lana, you know. And she knows how to act. She's a big star. She's been around. Lana. So anyways, next story.

Just want to say congratulations to Margaret Qualley, and I'm like looking forward to this next chapter for you, to all that's waiting for.

Yeah, right. FIFA final—

FIFA fiddly—

I thought that's what you were going to say. Final halftime show. The World Cup final halftime show has been announced, and it's going to be a big musical production. So performance, we will be seeing Justin Bieber, Shakira, Madonna, BTS, as well as Afrobeats star Burna Boy, Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Choir from, um, the elementary school in New York. Wait, that's so cute. Featuring Coldplay. And it's with the choir. Yes. And Coldplay will curate the 11-minute halftime show. So I guess they're like producers.

That's cool. I didn't know that like this was a thing that I was waiting to like find out before it's for the Super Bowl. So cool. I guess it has to represent like a global range of artists. It's a global affair representing America. We have Coldplay and Justin Bieber.

That feels right. Well, Canada Justin Bieber. Oh right, my bad. And is Chris Martin from here? I don't think he is.

Oh really?

Is he British? He has an accent, right?

Whoa, whoa, what a good song.

I mean, Coldplay is so global.

Yeah, no, everyone they chose, like really, I'm one thing, if there's a global event, Shakira is going to be there. They're like, he's English, he's British. Okay, so maybe they are a British band. So look at us, global. So who's the American?

Is there one?

It's like we're literally hosting.

Like, wait, that's so funny. Oh no, not just Madonna.

English. English. And you guys don't— you guys are not fucking ready for what I have to say about Madonna.

I'm not gonna say it because not only does it—

because I respect my elders.

It doesn't need to be global, it also needs to be ageless. Like, you gotta have someone for older people in there.

I didn't say anything about Madonna's age, you did.

No, but like, I just like—

I'm so like— I don't want to talk about Madonna because like I don't want to offend our, our gay listeners, but like I'm so over her.

But I think in this context she's right for it. Whatever, I'm not— this sounds great. I'm actually not seeing an American.

Okay, well, looks like we'll have to get the guy who sings, and I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. Get him in there.

I wonder if like people are like in an up a tizzy about this.

Yeah, I mean, we are like the host.

It's a little crazy. Yeah, but it's like all these people like live in America, so I guess— I know, they cosplay as Americans, but I guess that's, you know, that's the American— wait, they pay taxes? Yeah. Okay, but I think this is going to be a great show.

We are a nation of immigrants, so that's a beautiful story.

It is a beautiful story. BTS, I love. Of course, of course. And of course Gustavo. I know you're excited about Burnaboy. The chorus is American. Oh yeah, that's really cute.

Yeah, I love a children's choir.

Yeah, um, I think this will be great. Now we're down to 8 teams in the tournament, so I do feel like if you want to get involved, like, now is a good time. You didn't have to watch all that.

I'm rooting for Norway The blonde guy with the ponytail who carries the Birkins is my favorite player.

I'm rooting for— what are the teams? Argentina. Messi. Messi, which I, I'm going to root for.

It's a good, like, exciting story.

Yeah. France. England.

You know, the thing about me is I'm done with France.

You're done? Yeah. What did they do now?

I mean, it's more like what they didn't do to the Jews, to the Nazis. They sort of rolled over and took it. Like, one thing about me, I don't fuck with the French.

Yeah. England? I'm down.

Like, obviously I'm a monarchist, I think their food is disgusting, but, um, overall I'm not upset with them. Spain? Love. So, Cheetah Girls, Cheetah Sisters! Barcelona.

But here's who you're rooting for.

Who? Morocco. Oh, actually, yeah, I am. Yeah, I am rooting for Morocco because, like, I, like, I'm, I'm just a very prideful person. Like, I have a lot of national pride, so Yeah, from the Moroccan Jews.

But were they not expelled?

No, Moroccan Jews still live there. They do?

Okay, good, good. Belgium?

Not the vibe, sorry. Like, you know, I can sense these things, like when it's their time, and I just feel like Belgium's actually going to be the next team to lose. Just a feeling.

Norway and Switzerland?

Let me tell you that, like, Norway, Norway, I love that guy.

So who do you think will take it all?

Okay, here's my prediction. Norway v Morocco. No, that's like me making the whole thing about myself. Hold on. Norway versus Argentina. That's what it's going to be.

I think it's going to be Argentina versus Spain. I would love that. I just feel like that for no reason.

I just wish I'd gotten more into it. It's really not compelling me, like, at all. You know, I'd like—

I'm happy for everyone because everyone seems so, like, into it. People are going to the games, and I like watching everybody else having a good time, you know.

Yeah, I just like— I wanted that for myself. It didn't happen.

That's okay. Maybe in the next 4 years.

Is it every 4 years? It is every year.

I don't think it's every year. That's a lot. I don't— I think it might be every 4 years. When was the last one?

How frequently is the World Cup? The last one was in Qatar, remember?

Yeah. And there was like drama with the slaves. Years ago. That was years ago.

Was it? I feel like 2— I want to say 2 years ago. Oh, every 4 years.

Cool. They can't do all the time.

Except 1942 and 1946 were both canceled because of World War II. Fun fact. Classic. 2026. Oh, guess where it is next year? It's never— so interesting. In 2018, in 2018 it was just Russia. In 2022 was just Qatar. 2026, US, Canada, and Mexico.

North America.

Yeah, but why is it like countries and then continent?

We have continent.

And then 2030, Morocco, Portugal, and Spain as the hosts. Also matches taking place in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay.

Like why? They have to— I guess they had to fly for this one too.

I mean, I think it's a lot for like one country to take on.

No, but I also think it's not for the players. Like, oh, we're in Paraguay today.

Yeah, like having to play a match and then like fly to Uruguay, it's not good for circulation.

No, no, they should keep it. I guess more people get to go. It's exciting.

Soccer's so big. Like, yeah, it's crazy how much like soccer means to people when it actually means nothing to us. It means something to us. Yeah, we play travel soccer as little girls. We like love soccer.

A little girl, we actually love soccer as much as you could.

Like, one thing about me, I had shin guards on and like my high socks, and I was like, I was there. You probably didn't have your shin guards on. No, of course I had my shin guards on. One thing, that's what they teach you at soccer 101, like safety first. Yeah, that's what they teach you.

Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Cheetah Girls 4 is set at Disney with Raven-Symoné and original cast members returning. Uh, not all. So the Cheetah Girls Next Gen has officially been greenlit with original stars Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon returning as Galleria, and Chanel respectively, and Sabrina, and with a lot of respect put on their name. In addition to, you know, Brian—

why doesn't she get like the top billing?

Because the other two— because she's not as famous. But they were all Cheetah Girls. But like, they wanted to know Raven and Adrienne, who you know are coming.

The headline is that the fourth one is not coming, Keely.

Yeah, Sabrina— like, Sabrina will make a special appearance as Dorinda.

It's insane. It's insane that her name is Dorinda. What are you doing here without Dorinda?

He's insane that her name was Dorinda too.

Like, that scene, you know the one.

No, you're more of a Cheetah Girl than I am.

You don't answer the Cheetah Girls?

No, no, I do, but like, like I've seen it recently, like the Cheetah Girls just imprinted on you more.

I mean, it was 4 girls who were like sisters who like sang. That was us growing up. I know, but like, Cheetah Girls, Cheetah Sisters, it's just, you know, thing.

And not everything can like impact you and shape you, and I loved Cheetah Girls just like I loved other stuff growing up, like Lizzie McGuire, but like it didn't imprint on me.

No, I was imprinted by the Cheetah Girls. Absolutely.

I really thought I was fucking Galleria. Like, there wasn't enough left in my imprint after Hannah walked away.

I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the fourth Cheetah Girl who's not in here, isn't she dating the guy from Boy Meets World? And she's involved in that big scandal, Matthew Lawrence, with Cheryl Burke from Dancing with the Stars, remember?

I don't think so.

And Cheryl makes like all this crazy content on TikTok about like her ex No, and he's dating the Cheetah Girl. I think I'm right.

He's not dating her.

Oh no, wait, you're right. Chili is dating— because they're both in— but they're both from the band, um, 3LW.

Maybe that goes deeper. Or TLC, I can't remember.

That goes deep. No, you're right, you're right.

Um, and Lynn Whitfield and Laurie Alter are set to reprise their roles as Dorothea and Juanita.

Oh my God, you're kidding! The moms? Like, that's huge. Like, I'm not— I'm not even messing with you. Me and my fanfic Reddit, um, Cheetah Sisters. Like, we're freaking about this.

Just know, if you have a character in your show named Juanita, it will be a success. We are watching. It's true. So, um, joining the beloved Disney franchise is Sophia Bush. I saw this video. Oh, what? Sophia Bush in the role of Jennifrey. What? With Leah Savage Jeffries as Galleria's daughter Faith. Carmen Sanchez as Chanel's sister Dior. Yeah, Kaylin Chang. That's funny, her name is Dior. Kaylin Chang as Ruby. And Sophie Lennon as Brooklyn.

So I saw like the new gen— I saw Disney+ put out a video of them like dancing with like Juicy Couture sweatshirts that say Cheetah Girls on the back, and it was like very much, you know, new gen Cheetah Sisters. Not the same, but that's definitely what the youth needs is the Cheetah Girls, Cheetah Sisters, because the message of love and unity and just sort of sister coming as you are. Yeah, and of course sisterhood.

So here's the logline: the story picks up when the Cheetah Girls Galleria and Chanel alongside Galleria's daughter and her 3 friends travel to Africa to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. Okay. Along the way, these 4 teen girls test their friendship, find their voice, and discover the true cheetah spirit as they save the preserve and ultimately take the stage as the new Cheetah Girls.

Oh, oh, I, I see what they're doing. I was like, why are they going to the wildlife reserve?

Because they're the Cheetah Girls and they're going to save the reserve. I love it.

Inspired, actually. Really, I love it, I love it.

The production will begin later this month in South Africa. It better. Yeah, hopefully it fares better than Lizzie McGuire.

Yeah, I didn't know if like Raven was dead, like where she left her relationship with Disney, you know? Yeah, she did come back, she did Raven's Home, and I think that like ended poorly. Anneliese van der Pol is always on TikTok like alluding to it. We're like, girl, just tell us. Um, so I don't know And then she like went on The View. She's had like kind of a weird post-Disney career. Yeah, but I guess she's all good with the Disney execs, her and Bob Iger.

She is all good. That's good to hear. Yeah, you love to hear it. I think it's— I mean, you know how I feel about reboots, but living in reboot world, like, this is right. There are worse ones.

Yeah, I think it's been the worst reboot. So many to choose from. Yeah.

Well, whatever has been the worst reboot, I wouldn't have seen it. Oh, I know what it was. Snow White. Gossip Girl. Yeah, yeah. And I did get to— because I can't say something was the worst reboot if I didn't watch it. But it's like, if I knew it was the worst reboot, I wouldn't have watched it. But I actually did watch that piece of garbage.

The amount of press money spent on that one season of garbage was insane. Insane.

They spent so much and did so much that it's actually a shock that they canceled it after one season. Admitted that it was a failure. No, not even admitted, like give it a go, maybe try one more time to fix. But when you just are so full steam ahead on something, like you just keep going, fake it till you make it. Yeah. Don't let us know that everything you did was a failure. They worked with every influencer. Yeah. They did every collab. It was the—

I think they actually filmed at the Met Gala.

It was the biggest thing. You forget about it now. It's sort of like COVID. It was the biggest thing.

Speaking of things you forgot about, so Ben is going to the Bon Jovi concert and he was like listening to Bon Jovi last night. And you know what song I was reminded of? Tell me you remember the iconic collab between Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles. Do you know what I'm talking about? And it was like a Habitat for Humanity, like, sponsorship. Who says you can't go home? You don't know that song?

I do know that song. Is that their song?

That's a Bon Jovi-Jennifer Nettles collab.

Original song. I know.

And you know, I used to listen to that song all the time when I was a kid. And then, like, yesterday I started listening to it and I was watching the music video and it was like, it's a Habitat for Humanity, like, like, I don't know, it's like a feel— the song was connected to like a philanthropic effort, I guess, all about like building homes, because the song is called Who Said You Can't Go Home. That song is so good. I love— just love that song.

Good song. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? What number? 3. Oh, are you sure? Positive. 4. Okay, not positive. Oh yeah, 4. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Did you see that Gabriella was the daughter who allegedly called the police on Melania. She's not like those other sisters.

No, she's not here for the drama. No. Um, our next story— Emmy nominations. Oh yeah, came out today. Um, here's the full list of nominees. Okay, a lot of these are like familiar.

You see Summer House was nominated for an Emmy?

Yeah, I did. And they fired Wes and Amanda even though they gave them an Emmy. It's true. Outstanding Drama Series: The Diplomat, The Gilded Age, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Paradise, The Pit, Slow Horses, Your Friends and Neighbors.

I watched two of those shows, The Pit, Your Friends and Neighbors. Um, Your Friends and Neighbors was really good, so I can only say—

Outstanding, would you say it was outstanding?

Yeah, I would say the two shows that I watched, I would give it to Your Friends and Neighbors, honestly.

Outstanding Comedy Series. Your Friends and Neighbors is also like comedy though.

No, it's not. Yeah, it is drama.

He's like silly.

It has like a clever narrator, but overall it's a drama series.

Outstanding Comedy: Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Margo's Got Money Troubles, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders In the Building, Shrinking, Widow's Bay, Hacks.

Uh, Hacks is gonna win. It's like the last season and they've always—

the last season?

No, it's over and they swept the, uh, category like every year since.

So it's always the last category. Outstanding Limited Series: All Her Fault. Oh, I think All Her Fault should win. I didn't see it, but everybody was obsessed with it.

It was really good. Um, I should not have watched it postpartum, but it was really good.

The Beast in Me, Beef, DTF St. Louis, and Love Story.

Love Story wasn't good. Like, I liked the conversations that we all had and like the genre. It started, you know, everyone's dressing like Carolyn Bessette, very sleek. But the show was bad. I actually don't even know if I watched the last episode because it was so— I did, I did, but it was bad. Yeah, agreed.

All her fault for sure.

That was the show of the year. And Sarah Snook, I know she got nominated for her role in that. Like, she was chilling.

Yeah, she's an amazing actress. Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series: Sterling K. Brown, Paradise, Gary Oldman, Slow Horses, Mark Ruffalo, Task. Rufus Sewell, The Diplomat. Noah Wyle, The Pit. Um, I only watched The Pit there.

I didn't like finish this season, so— and like, I wasn't even not enjoying it, it was just like not that compelling. It's like the same thing, like, okay, you know. Um, so I don't really— I don't have a horse in this race.

Yeah. Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: Carrie Coon, Gilded Age. Chace Infinity, The Testaments. Keri Russell, The Diplomat. Rhea Seahorn, Pluribus, and Zendaya, Euphoria.

Well, I think that our show sponsor, Who Lose the Testaments, should win.

I agree. I think people are surprised for Euphoria only Zendaya and Colman Domingo got nominated. It—

I mean, I didn't watch, I only watched clips on, but it was very much like Cassie's season.

Yeah. And, um, and based on the—

it's a huge snub.

It is a snub because also based on the clips, not only was it it her season, like in her story primarily.

To lose—

like, her acting was amazing. There were so many conversations about like her lack of Botox and just like her ability to emote. And like everyone was talking about the show, they were talking about her. Whether or not Zendaya like had a large role in it, I wouldn't know, but people weren't talking about it very much.

Yeah, um, no, it's— this is a huge snub, like for real.

Yeah, yeah. Um, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

I think Carrie Coon is win. Okay, people are obsessed with The Gilded Age. I'm like annoyed that I watched the first season, didn't like it, gave up in the second season cuz like it was not getting better. I think it gets so good, I just don't know if I have the energy to sit— cuz I would have to rewatch from the beginning. And like when a show has a bad first or, or second season, like it's just unreasonable for you to ask me to get through that just because you say it gets good.

No, I want to watch it again. I'm not starting the first season, I'll start from season 2, episode 1. But Stassi loves it, she says it's the best show ever. But also Stassi loves Outlander, and I did not like Outlander, and I watched well into the second season. It just wasn't for me. You know what I want to watch based on clips I've seen, based on gender? Call the Midwife. I don't know. I see all of these clips that are like synopses of episodes. It's like, you know, early 1900s, they're like midwives in, um, oh, that's interesting. And it's like a health, you know, drama, women's health, and they like have all these mysterious cases.

Yeah, but I just feel like back in the day, like, women were constantly dying in childbirth, so like, I feel like, oh, that's like sad.

But it's like Downton vibes.

Yeah, no, I get it.

I think I would like it.

I just feel like, like, I'm like, a woman would die every episode if it's being accurate.

No, no, but it's like, it's a bunch of And I'm sure we also, you know, learn about the midwives' lives, right?

Of course, like, how did they grow up?

Yeah. Um, I'm just gonna skip around a little bit. And this is the award show that Mariska is hosting, right? Yes, it is.

Okay, so did SVU get up? She's definitely won an Emmy, right? Like a daytime?

1,000%. Yeah, these are not the daytimes. Outstanding Reality Competition Series: Dancing with the Stars, RuPaul's Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef, and The Traitors. Also, Ariana Maddix has been nominated as host for Love Island.

Wow, who else was in that category?

In the category of Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program category are RuPaul Charles.

I think I knew that actually. It's not— I think Paul's a middle name. Namesake. Charles. Ru Charles. All right, Paul can come on. He's on my list.

RuPaul can come on. Namesake. Huge. Alan Cumming of Traders. Yeah, Kristin Kish of Top Chef.

I actually feel like this is not the first time Ariana's been nominated because I actually remember having this conversation last year being like, that's cool for her, but she's never gonna win only because it's such a stacked—

yeah, well, Alan Cumming won the last 2 years.

Prior to that, it was Ru for like a decade.

Years. Yeah, Kristin from Top Chef, who we know from Traders, and Jeff Probst of Survivor.

Oh yeah, sorry, Ariana, like, you're not gonna win, but that's actually awesome that you got nominated It is awesome, and it's sad she's not going to win for letting us know there's going to be a massive dumping. Massive dumping, yeah. Like, the thing is, is like, it's actually crazy that you could do that job and get nominated for an Emmy. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, she's actually doing a really good job at the job. I agree.

I actually, I have no complaints about her.

No, she like has really become the host. Like, she sort of like blends into the show. Sometimes when someone's a host and it's like a buzzy person who's not like a professional host, it's just like they inject their personality. It's like, what are you doing there? But like she really like is seamless with the show.

Yeah, I think that for a while it was a rotating door of influencers, celebrities, like— but I do think it's sort of her job in perpetuity now. She's very good at it. Yeah, agreed. Um, was that the fifth and final? No.

Oh, sorry, the fifth and final. I know you would want to skip it, and maybe you know that it's the fifth and final and that's why you tried to leapfrog over it. What did the Romanoffs do now? Justin Baldoni and his wife Emily are breaking their silence on injustice in Toronto. Drama 2 years after their Blake Lively dispute began. Justin and his wife put out an Instagram video beginning by saying, we have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last 2 years, and it's not because we haven't had anything to say, of course, because Lord knows we have, but it just felt like every time we wanted to make a video like this, we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to. Your lawyers. It just didn't feel like the right time, and we were talking about it and feeling into it and praying.

You don't need to explain, like, we know why you couldn't.

This massive lawsuit, like, we're good, we're not But she said this feels like the moment. She spoke a lot. There's so much to say, she said. While they did not say much—

they didn't say anything—

they did say that, um, they have immense gratitude for so many people and so many things that have happened to them. Gratitude doesn't negate the injustice and the pain that we have also felt in the last few years. We've had to wrestle with so many things and try to understand so many things, like how could something like this even happen, let alone disguised as a fight for women. So much to unpack. Um, she shared that she and Justin have experienced a lot of trauma that makes it difficult to speak openly. I, I agree.

Like, I agree that if you're having a difficulty speaking openly, like, don't make a video statement. But they have to like come back. But I also, I guess like I didn't realize like people are waiting for them to say something because like it's over. I didn't know that people were waiting, so I was like, oh, they released a video.

Yeah, but also like I imagine they're traumatized from this situation, whether or not like he was wrong. Who said, she said, he said, like he's been in a legal battle fighting for his life. Grief for the last 2 years, not really able to say anything about it. I don't think they have like massive streams of income. No, I agree. Outside, financially, this was about—

they do have like big backers.

Yes, but like, what are they gonna pay your rent?

Yeah, like, that's about how long.

Yeah, right, for how long?

But no, someone was paying his legal bills though, because— yeah, because also Wayfair, Wayfair sued.

But like, you know, for his actual life, like, this is very destabilizing. Um, you can't really speak on it because everything will be used against you. She, uh, he said, we don't even know if this is the right thing to say. We just know we need to share something. Like, even Blake and and like, even if she's wiped out, he's dead poor.

No, of course they are financially fine.

You know, she's— they have multiple businesses, they're investors. Mint Mobile, of course, our favorite partners over at Mint Mobile. And they have us supporting Mint Mobile, so you know that.

You're set for life. You're set for life. Like mailbox money. Yep, absolutely.

Um, so this is like very scary for them. Agreed. And so they have to make an effort to come back to the public. Like, he has to get work, he has to, you know—

I don't think he'll have a problem. He's been exonerated. Like, the public loves him. Him. She's the devil and he's the victim.

Like, I think they're both—

I think people in the industry might not want to work with him just because he comes with a lot of like— but he was always like directing his own movies with his own production company. He'll be fine.

I don't think he'll be fine. He has so many fans. He has to put in work.

If you have fans, you can pay your rent. Like, that's true. He has a lot of like die women who would like actually leave their husbands, kill themselves for him. Like, they love him.

How can you monetize that though?

Oh, you can have a convention, a group trip. Like, you can figure it out.

You can do a convention.

Yeah, like remember when Armie Hammer was like doing stuff like that? Like I think there's stuff to be done if you have fans, especially female fans. Like, you are completely fine.

Well, first step is like coming back, making a video, getting back active on social media, making people feel like you see them and they see you. And so that's what this was. And you know what, like, I wasn't a fan before, I'm not a fan now, I'm not gonna stand in his way.

Yeah, I'm just gonna like not tell everyone what I really think because nobody wants to hear.

No, tell us, you've come this far. Why? You— the storm has passed.

No, no, it's like, I, I know people like tune in, they want to like enjoy the show, and like they get mad when I talk about Justin Maldonado.

So like, but they keep coming back because I think they want to hear it. Time will be on my side. You think so? Still? I do. What is there, something coming out? Like, or it's just—

I can't speak on that matter legally. I'm involved in a lawsuit, so I just need to be involved in a lawsuit so I can say that. Like, guys, I can't talk about it.

Yeah.

So let's dive into Dear Toaster, our weekly advice segment. So every— these days, this is the last week actually because Love Island's over. So next week we're back on Tuesdays, but we do a weekly advice segment.

When does Love Island end? This week, I thought. When? When? Please, this week, right?

Like, this week.

This show is a week long, so like, what day of the week?

This week. All right, maybe not. Okay, whatever. Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where Jackie and I try to help by Monday night. If you've ever been in a pickle, you know, at work or with your boyfriend or at home, and you thought, oh, I wish Jackie and Claudia— like, what would they do?

I wish they would yell me.

Well, write into Dear Toasters and you just might be our next victim.

Oh, I guess that's unburdening yourself when you have a guilty conscience and you want us to yell at you. That's unburden.

deartoasters@gmail.com, that's the website you could write into, or you can head over to our website thetoastpodcast.com. Both methods equally— you have equal opportunity to get on the show, and they're both anonymous, so don't worry, we'll never blow up your spot. Our first is an update. So this is a Dear Toasters that we recently unearthed. So about 8 years ago Somebody wrote into us and was talking about how like her in-laws are like very insistent on paying for her wedding and it's making her feel—

this came from Dear Toasters Throughout History. So this happened like, like literally 8 years ago.

She was like, it just feels like, you know, I'm, you know, we've been saving and like we can afford it and like we're really proud and like how do I tell my in-laws to like fuck off? And Jackie and I went back and re-listened to that episode and we were genuinely shocked and horrified to find out that like we supported this girl. We were like, yeah, just tell them to like fuck off. Like we were really just encouraging her.

Totally understand and respect why you want to pay for your wedding and that's important to you. We were—

and how it's offensive that they might not understand that.

We were supporting— just like, tell your husband to tell them that they can take their money and shove it up their ass. Like, worst advice ever.

We were genuinely horrified at our own reactions. This is a whole series we did on Patreon last week, just like revisiting old Dear Toaster submissions.

I do think the advice was given in May 2020, and we were— we were obviously in a fragile state of mind to not say anything that would muddy or ruffle anything.

So good to know that that girl is still a toaster, and she said said, as a Dear Toasters update, I am cracking up listening to the Dear Toasters Patreon, and my submission about my in-laws offering to pay for some of the wedding came back up. First of all, love you girls, and I'm happy to report that I do now own a house with my husband, so paying for our wedding didn't make us go broke. Now looking back, I too agree that I should have just taken the money and shut up. I think at the time, being the first to get married on both sides just made everyone lose their marbles and take ownership in our wedding, so paying for it was our way of having the wedding that we That being said, I've learned over the years and just having kids too, that if someone wants to offer a nice gift like that, just take it. Why stress? Back in 2019, I agree, I was hard-headed about the principle of things, but now if someone wants to take something off my plate, money, hashtag let them. Love you girls and love the DTQ. So we've all, we've all grown up together.

That's really beautiful. And you know what we were saying? Like, we're like, let them buy you a house.

Like, or like you, you let them pay for the wedding and then use the money you were gonna spend and buy a house.

Like, so you, she got the house and the wedding. And a lesson.

That's beautiful. Yeah, but that money's just sitting there.

I think the best part of this is that this girl still a toaster. Like, that's loyalty.

And that, like, she grew with us, and, like, even though we all were unwell at the time thinking that that was, like, a normal proud thing to do and a righteous thing to do, like, we've all come to our senses.

And that's just part of growing up, is like you're gonna make decisions that you don't agree with, and thankfully this wasn't, like, a catastrophic one.

All right, next up.

Hey, Jackson Claude, my husband came home from work the other night in a foul mood. He said it was an exhausting day. He works an hour from home as a water treatment supervisor. For context, I also work full-time in an office. Everything my daughters, 5 and 3, and I did or said, he just immediately responded with something rude. I brushed it off. We ate dinner. I suggested we take a family walk after. As we were leaving the house, I saw he had on his slippers, like moccasin style. I asked him why he didn't put his sneakers on. His response to me was, why don't you shut your fat fucking mouth? In front of my daughters as well. He claimed later it wasn't actually calling me fat, but it's not—

your mouth is fine—

but it's not the first time he's insulted me with that line. I'm hurt because I'm self-conscious about my appearance. What should I do? Well, the thing is, like, no one's more self-conscious about their appearance. Like, I get it, but like, that really shouldn't be the focus of this saga. Like, the fact that your husband said that to you in general, but also in front of your kids, like, that's the bigger issue.

I don't think you should— whether or not you shouldn't be reading into it whether you're fat or not.

Like, that's not the problem. Like, imagine someone saying that to your daughters. They're gonna like grow up thinking that that's a normal way to be spoken to.

No. Also, like, apparently this seems like a sort usual occurrence that he like comes home in a terrible mood, like ignore him. Tell him to leave the house. Yeah. Until he comes back. Like, you gotta do what you gotta do. You gotta work with what you have. And like, he's in a horrible mood. You're not gonna make him in a better mood. You literally gave him two beautiful children, a beautiful night.

You wanna go for a walk.

Like, it's just a beautiful night. And if he can't see that, like, there's nothing you can do to make him see like how beautiful his life is. But you should tell him like, why don't you leave? Or you go upstairs or you watch TV. Like, I don't wanna be around you and you shouldn't be around us because like, this is a happy home and you're not a happy person.

Yeah, I just want you to be a little bit more focused on like your daughters in the situation more than yourself, because like obviously if somebody said fat fucking mouth, like I'm also like spiraling. Did you call me that? Did you call me that? But like that's really not the issue here. The issue here is like he's very comfortable speaking so derogatorily to you in front of your kids. Like that's just gonna inform how they see the world and the type of relationships that they get into, and it's like that's not good.

So I would remove him from situations when—

yeah, it's like start like having dinner and going for walks.

Like of course he needs anger management and he's a piece of shit.

Like obviously, of course, high level, high level, obviously, obviously.

Bigger issues here. But like, in terms of the day-to-day and you have your hands full, like, remove you and the kids from those situations, or remove him. Like, if he doesn't want to go watch TV or leave the house or whatever, like, you guys go out for dinner, you guys go for a walk.

But also, like, that is verbal abuse. Like, yeah, of course. Like, I really— like, I don't want to tell you to leave your man because, like, obviously, like, there's two kids and, like, there's— but like, your man's a piece of fucking shit. Like, that needs to be— like, can't be stressed enough.

Stay away from him. Yeah.

Like, at this point, he's very much like a sperm donor and like a roommate and like a rent payer. Yeah, a border. Yeah, he is your board, your ward. And like, thanks for the contribution, but like, you need to stay away from him. And you also need to keep your girls away from him.

Like, stay away from your husband.

Yeah, that goes for all of you bitches. Like, some of the people you guys write into us about, like, that's your man, your man, your man.

Stay away. And when divorce is not an option, because it's not—

we get a lot of shit for saying that, by the way. Like, Yeah, it's just— sorry, sometimes divorce is not an option.

And that's what you do, either like not the right time, or you don't find— like, it just would be so messy, like so devastating, emotional for you, for your children. Like, sometimes it's not the best option financially, custody-wise.

Like, there's—

yeah, sometimes it's not the best option in that moment. And then what, 3 and 5 should go with him half the time? Correct. No, stay away from your husband.

All you guys. All right, third and final.

It's so funny, but it's true.

My boyfriend of 2 and a half years is just the best. Oh, we— I'm 25, he's 27. We're talking engagement. I could not be happier. But the one fault to him is that he pees the bed. We're in a phase of life of weddings, nights out. We're both social drinkers. My boyfriend has been known since college to pee the bed whenever he gets too drunk, and now this has happened several times since we've been together. He gets embarrassed, so I normally just don't address it, but it's starting to get on my nerves. Like, I just don't— like, just don't drink so much, right? Right. Any advice on how you could bring this up to him without making it sound like I'm cutting him off or embarrassing him. Love ya.

So yes, being in college, drinking a lot, some people pee the bed every now and then. So I'm glad that at least like we understand why he's peeing the bed. Yeah. As someone who is also going through potty training, a couple of hacks to make your life simpler, you know, put the pads under the sheet. Um, but see, this is a boyfriend, not a dog, and not a toddler. So here's the thing, at 27 years old that you're getting that drunk that you pee the bed, you're drinking too much.

Yeah, and sometimes like maybe he just has a more sensitive bladder, but sometimes people don't have a drinking problem but they get like either really evil when they drink or like they pee the bed. That just— I'm sorry, like you can't drink anymore. Some— like, doesn't mean you have a drinking problem or even that you're drinking too much, but you just don't react well to alcohol. You have to stop. Like, that's really it.

Yeah, maybe start taking pot. I would say at 25 and 27, it is the time to start turning down the dial. On big drinking.

And people who still drink as much at 27 as they did in college— nope. That's like a 6-year period where you really are supposed to be growing out of it.

You can of course still party, and like, there's a wild night. No, multiple times. Yikes. Yeah. So, and this—

I'm sorry, someone who's like actively peeing the bed is not someone who's also ready to get engaged. I just want to let you know, not to be like the bearer of bad news.

Yeah. No, you guys need to drink less. I know we're super fun. Bless you. I know, but like, drinking less is always a good idea. Unfortunately, so true. It's always a good idea. And I'm not saying don't drink, because if you have a glass of wine or 2 glasses of wine, you're not peeing the bed. No, no, no, you're peeing the bed because your bladder is full and you're too out of it to wake yourself up to— for the feeling. It's—

let me tell you something, as someone—

also, as someone who's potty training, we make sure we go pee-pee before sleeping.

Of course, before sleep. And try not to like drink your juicy before bed.

The thing is, is that we stopped drinking 2 hours before bed.

I feel like I have a healthy bar of like, I still drink, and even before I became mom, like, I drank a lot. Like, I would black out a lot. Like, I was not shy. Let me tell you, I've never peed the bed. Like, ever. Not once. Yeah, it's an insane level to get to, and I think it gets normalized in like frat culture, but it's really not normal.

No, and like, keep it in the fraternity. I'm not living in a frat house, right? This is a grown-up home. And I'm changing the sheets multiple times a week. It's so hard to change sheets.

I'm sorry that you're dealing with that, like genuinely, godspeed.

Or you could like make his half of the bed like no blanket, tarp, tarp. Yeah, if that's how you want to live your life, you get the tarp. It's up to you. These are supposed to be the fun times of your relationship. So if he's sleeping on—

I never get any sleep, the tarp is so loud.

Yeah, well, and this is like cause for separate beds, but like you guys are dating, like, wait, we're not even engaged and we're sleeping in separate beds?

Just call it off now. No. Yeah, sorry.

If he won't like drink less, then he's just immature. Forever frat boy. It will continue to be an issue, unfortunately.

Nip it in the bud, sweetie. Nip it in the bud. That's our show. That's Dear Toasters. Thank you to everybody who wrote in, and thank you guys for listening.
