A Cosmopolitan Episode, YAH?: Monday, April 21st, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Monday. Today is a Pardee episode of The Toast, hosted, of course, by Turdy Lou Freebush and clearly my stalker, Miriam Webster. Define stalker for me. You're twin. We're both wearing Gargi Pardee set merch. We're not even like launching merch or announcing anything this week. We just both wore it on our own accord. That's how comfy, cozy, and Pardee-lish it is. It was an uncoordinated attack. Attack. attack you're constantly actually wore this um to dinner at trouty's last night so it was like and i looked so cute and i was like let's run it back oh my god what did you have for dinner officially passover war is over we can eat bread again and boy did i eat bread again last night i had a hamburger on a bun a small luxury that i had missed that you had taken for granted and And then I didn't have anything else like incredibly leavened, you know?

1:23But we have all year for that. I have big plans for today. Sourdough, we're back. I had pizza. I had pasta. I had chipriani cake. Wow. Now, my husband was in charge of the ordering because I was just like so tired. I'd say you know like I really wasn't feeling well because I hate when Ben orders food. First of all, for some reason, like whenever we use like an Uber Eats or any sort of delivery service door dash, on his phone. Like, it doesn't come. Oh, that's classic my husband. Like, I don't know what it is about his phone or his account. Like, they get the worst everything. Not only does he always either mess it up, even if it's not his fault, they just obviously don't respect him.

2:01Yes, yes. Because they don't care to get it right. No, and I obviously, I'm in really good standing with Uber Eats. I must be one of their top... I'm in good standing as well. ...0.01 customers. I was actually told that the sushi place I order from, I am their top 0.01 orderer. Everywhere I would order from. Well, because if I like something, I'll do it again and again. I don't do variety. So everywhere I order from, I'm the number one customer. My app, I command respect. I get the best, most highly rated drivers. I get the quickest delivery times, best priority windows. So I just knew my dinner was never coming.

2:32Same for when we order an Uber. If we order an Uber from Zach's phone, we're not going anywhere. Worst cars. But if it's my account, we get a limousine. We get a driver with a hat. But, you know, I'm obviously just like a priority customer for these platforms. And my husband is not. I don't Uber a ton down here. But last time we Ubered in New York, I like called an Uber luxury. And there was a car seat in there. Like he had an extra car seat. Like this is a driver who's prepared. And I was actually with you when your husband tried to order an Uber. And like seriously, he was standing outside for 25 minutes.

3:05What do you got, a pedicab? Yeah. So obviously we are just like at different levels. But he did a good job except for the fact that like my husband has a real, real over ordering problem. And it was so apparent last night. That's just mine. Okay. So not only – he went a little nuts with like pizza and pasta, which honestly can be forgiven. After, you know, a week of no bread, I understand why he got so many extra entrees. Like there was so much food. It was like an embarrassment of riches. But then he also ordered the Cipriani cake. let me ask you how many slices of the Cipriani cake which the slice is fucking huge it's a celebration two for two adults you would get two for two adults I can't even finish one slice it's huge it's weird to just get one what if you might be offended by that you're eating for two two is safe four cool and by the way the pieces of cake are like$25 each plus like all the tips and delivery I should have just gotten the whole cake but okay 1000 % I'm like you ordered four pieces of cake and I was like okay this morning I come into the kitchen the two pieces of cake that went uneaten he left them out on the counter he didn't put them away last night I'm like so you ruined hanging out with my husband too much everything gets ruined because it doesn't go in the fridge before so wasteful it's so crazy you have to throw that food away in the morning because like it goes sour of course I mean when I cook something and I leave it out to cool and I'm like can you just put it once it's cool will you put it in the fridge like I'm going to bed I was shocked to see the shopping bag I was like oh good on my husband he kept the shopping bag He's turning it to me it's a nice shopping bag And then I saw two pieces of cake inside I said are you that's$50 right there That's really crazy Also to say I ate plenty last night And I'm so back me and Me and the leavened we are good I went out to dinner on Saturday night Yeah I went out I was out until midnight Ask me anything I was out till midnight A bunch of people out what was it like it was late but it was actually nice because we i went it was like a dinner party it was late it was late it was a dinner party and the reason why we were out so late is because it started pretty late which i actually appreciate because then i'm here for bedtime the kids go to sleep and they don't even realize that i've left so that's kind of my ideal way to go out but it does mean getting home at midnight damn but i did you've seen the other side of the night like i know but i did forsake like bread on the table and i was really hungry and like things were happening slowly and I was like this will be like I could have gone for it you know and just throw caution to the wind it's the seventh no it's a test of your faith I was like this will be the ultimate sacrifice yep will I eat this warm bread and butter and I didn't warm bread and butter at a restaurant it's such a lost art when like you've been getting drinks and so you've been like waiting a while took a while to sit like we hadn't even ordered I'm like I don't know when I'm gonna see next crumb and I said no but also I find sometimes like dining to be such a rushed experience like You just get your food and go.

6:00And I find that when you have like a really premium bread basket, I don't even need anything that crazy. I just require the bread to be warm and the butter to be soft. It elongates the whole experience. It makes it, you're not like in a rush, like you're feeding at the zoo. Like it's so civilized. And this whole thing where you have to, you know, order a menu item bread basket, that's like$6. I hate. But if you're giving me like the best bread I've ever fucking had. Okay. I was at a restaurant recently. I'm not going to name it. Name. No, I'm not going to. I know. It's too cool. You don't want to be banned just in case they get this shit together.

6:311 ,000%. It was like a really cool restaurant. And it was, you know, we were celebrating. So I said, Ben, let's order the bread basket, even though it was like a menu item, which I hate. No, I don't always hate. I don't always hate. I don't like outright hate it. I'm open to it because I'm expecting greatness. I'm expecting greatness, yes. So, and I said, like, I don't want to be rushed out of here. Like, we never leave the house. I haven't gone out to dinner with you in a year. Let's order the bread. What arrived was, first of all, sourdough. And I just want to say, I love sourdough. It's not a bread basket bread.

7:00I'm sorry, it's not. Yeah, no, it's not. Pre-sliced, like it wasn't little rolls or anything, just like pre-sliced, cut up, doused in oil. This is a bread basket? When I think of a bread basket made to order, I think of like one that's made in like a skillet and it's pull apart kind of like monkey bread. I love that. I love, if you're going to get crazy, charge me. Sourdough that my sister made three days ago. douse in oil i i don't even need to douse man in oil i was so disappointed and so i feel like it was a real for me indicator the art of the bread basket is completely lost it's a sign of the times that's why i only eat a cheesecake factory it is the best but it is warm every single time you know who does a nice bread spread let me think so our petta scarpetta and it's not such a random why would i know that i have like well you you probably wouldn't even like it because some of them they have like roasted red pepper in the bread oh when they start throwing like cut up olives in the bread what's so weird and incongruous about me is i don't like olives i like everything i like vegetables you would think i like olives and i don't so like when there's an olive tapenade but oh my god the smell of olive tapenade oh my god of the bread basket at scarpetta and i'm pretty sure it's like bottomless you know well that's also the beauty of you know who doesn't have a great bread bread basket.

8:25Who? They could do a little bit better. Who? Cipriani. Oh yeah, and they have breadsticks, which are fun for the whole family. Love breadsticks. Fun for the whole family. And you know what else is like a lost art? We've totally left behind pads of butter. I happen to really like opening up that little golden ticket. I think some people are bothered by the extra labor. They would just prefer soft butter in a dish, which I love. Of course, don't get me wrong. But butter that comes in those gold packets is never bad. Sometimes it's cold and hard. Not ideal. Put it over the candle. Yeah, it's good quality butter.

8:56Yeah, it is. It's diner, though. No, it's not. It's a wee bit diner. Okay, I guess they do serve it at diners. That's so true. I think of it, you know where they always serve it at fancy French restaurants. It's very French. So I think of it a little bit more elevated. You're very much a Francophile. And I'm constantly eating French food. You are. You guys love Lagaloo. You guys? Ben loves Lagaloo. That's really good. it's this French restaurant Ben stumbled upon he became obsessed with it and of course he never like took me because he knows I don't eat French food and he's just always begging me to go begging me to go and one time I was obviously feeling weak and generous I was like sure like I must have not been that hungry I'm like yeah we can go to dinner at Lagaloo and let me tell you the chair was so uncomfortable like that's what I remember about certain restaurants I don't really care about like the quality of food I care more about vibes and ambiance no Lagaloo is French but they've got options like I like eating there and I'm not a Francophile I think if I remember correctly like the food was good All I remember was the chair.

9:53I understand the chair. I am remembering now. It's not the first thing. It's the same chair that they have at the Smith, which is why the Smith will never have me as a loyal fan of their restaurants. And I know it's so inconvenient to not be a fan of the Smith. There's like so many in the city. It's like elevated American diner. But like it's it's it's so brunchy. It's really it's the perfect restaurant except for two things. The chairs are just an abomination. the acoustics no I can get past that I think you know what I'm gonna say though I'm gonna give you another chance to guess what's wrong with the Smith the ketchup yes the fucking ketchup they won't just go for Heinz they have to do Sir Kensington they have to be different like I hate that shit like you can tell when they give you something at a restaurant that the ketchup is like Heinz is like it looks like it's had a face left right there's no cellulite it's completely smooth Sir Kensington's like organically.

10:51And it's chunky. And it's cellulite-y. And it ruins all the food at the Smiths because they have really good french fries, but I can't dip it in the ketchup. You've got to bring your own packets next time. Literally, me with my pads of butter and my packets of ketchup. Listen, I bring a stevia in the raw. Oh, you do? I do. That's the kind of sugar I like. And it's very, you know, it's a particular one. So it's rare. Rare to find. Well, I'm glad that we made it over the Pesach. and we can go back to appreciating our bread. I'm actually excited to make sourdough. Like, do I even remember how to make it?

11:26I don't know. Oh my, she's taking a few steps back. She needs to watch her own tutorial on Patreon. Literally, it's not a tutorial. It's a what not to do. But I actually had a major weekend. Major? You know what I did this weekend. Hold on. My brain is just, give me three seconds. I'll remember.

11:46In the world of children.

11:53yeah major news she had a major weekend we potty trained this weekend we kicked off the potty training journey this weekend but it's like so what I did I hadn't really been doing the potty training previously like I know people like kind of do it slowly over the course of months um that's like not and I've also heard like really just wait until your kids are ready like really wait because like it'll just become like terrible if you do it too soon and then they start getting like anxious about the toilet so i was just like i'll just wait until he's super ready and he felt ready so we did this class on saturday that i had heard about um it was like a four-hour class where we like it was literally like a frat house with chug drinking games no no it was a little flip cup like because the kids have to drink a lot so that they have to pee a lot so that they can learn to pee in their potty so the class but i can learn the class was actually like really good and helpful for me to learn how to potty train because i wouldn't know where to start Like, so to do a weekend, drinking so much, staying home, no more diapers.

12:49We're not doing, like, once you sign up for the class. What are you going to do with all that money that you were spending? You should buy yourself a bag. On diapers. Yeah. It's true. I'm sure it goes towards something else. I just had to buy 15 pairs of undies. Underwear. Yeah. And, you know, they soil them. Like. Yeah. You got to get fresh on these. Like. Yep. So we did the class, which was good. And then we came home and we were applying everything that we learned all weekend. And we're, like, really making headway. Um, we're still in like the training phase, but as I said, like no more diapers, like it's done whether it's a success or not, but the more you stick with it and like follow the rules from the class, it's, he's taking to it really well.

13:25So it's been pretty major. Well, fun fact about one turny Lou Freebush is she had an extremely difficult time potty training. I think I was like, you know, definitely the last in the family, like the oldest. Okay. And really like, you know, it's usually like the younger start to do things sooner because they want to be like their big siblings. Yes. And I do have one distinct memory. They give you that fake toilet, right? We had to bring a fake toilet. I never thank God I had one that Frida had sent me because I didn't have one. And it was really part. She had like the Rolls Royce of fake toilets in the class.

13:57I remember the fake toilet like and I remember sitting in the garage. That's obviously where I was like forced because like they were so done with me, forced to take my dumps. And I just remember like that part of the journey. And I remember really liking that little toilet. but I do feel like that little toilet because then I also remember having like a big fear of the real toilet especially like big ones with like long you know bowls and I feel like it kind of sets you up to be afraid of the toilet. I feel like most kids are afraid of the toilet at a certain point but it's not like during the potty training phase but we're supposed to stay on the little toilet until we have like five consecutive poops in the little toilet and then he can go back to his toilet that has you know the little accessible little ladder a little accessible chair on top it's so cute yeah so it's been fun I'm like excited that we've kicked it off it's not as like big and scary as I thought it was going to be and we're also doing nighttime training at the same time they say that's easier to do it's like yes it's very inconvenient and a pain in the butt but like it'll work out better if we do it all together so that's where we're at I have stumbled onto TikTok a method of potty training where they train you to potty in the toilet from birth.

15:08I don't know if you're familiar. Are you familiar with that method? No. I forget what it was called. And the first time I heard it, I was like, okay, these people are nuts. Like, these people are fucking nuts. The more I learned about the science behind it, I might start adapting that method, like, from day one. Well, it's definitely, like, less wasteful, which you'll like. You don't have to buy all the diapers and all the. And you know me, anything to cut costs. Anything to cut costs and live a minimal lifestyle. Yeah, I'm definitely thinking about cloth diapers. um cloth diapers aren't as scary as they sound but not that I use them but I've like seen I don't know they sound really scary like I would just say when there's a poop we'll throw that one away then they're not like they're not reusable then for peas like for peas yeah um what were you oh about putting them in the toilet at birth I actually saw a chart recently about like potty training ages over time and like as a society like we're getting we're regressing Yeah, like I think the norm used to be like one and a half was potty training.

16:03Now it's like we'll start at three. I know when we were growing up it was like two. It was two when we were kids. Was it? Why do you know that? Yeah, like it's like something I just happen to know. It's always been two. Yeah. But then it's like if you start at two and it doesn't take because they weren't ready and then they're scared of the toilet and then they start holding in their poops for days. Very bad, very bad. That's a hard habit to break. And you know what? I don't really mind the diapers so much. Like every once in a while it's like, oh gosh, I wish this one was in the toilet. But like diapers are so convenient.

16:30I can change them wherever. I don't have to use like a public restroom and like get in the restroom. I can just change in the trunk of my car. Well, just know my family will be adapting the newborn method. And I encourage you to think about it, okay? Like I said, I'm happy with the diaper life. But let me know how it goes. I will. I definitely will. So big things, major moves happening here. Such a big weekend for you. So happy that you started that journey. I started no journeys this weekend. I just laid around. It's not even meant to be like a journey. Like it's done. You know what I mean? For better or for worse.

17:08So he's potty trained. He's not potty trained, but like he doesn't wear diapers anymore. Stop. They grow up so fast. And I do like not to be like a freak. They look so cute with diapers on because they have like dump trucks. Literally. And like the way they waddle around with like this saggy tushy thing. Like it's such a cute part of their allure. Yeah, it is really cute. Of course, they're beautiful with or without. With or without. There's beauty in everything. I don't know about that, but there is beauty in a lot. But it's definitely like a major milestone in terms of like, you know, it's not a baby.

17:41Parenthood. Yeah. No, that's my baby. And now I know how to potty train, which I didn't know how before. I love to do a class for everything. It's like I haven't started a garden yet because I can't find a class to teach me how to garden. They definitely have a gardening class at the local community garden. Yeah. But like I need a class to learn. If I want to start something, I need to take a class first. What was that old sponsor? Skillshare. No, I think about Skillshare all the time. They just did classes for adults online. Like you need to learn how to do anything. You want to learn photography.

18:13Skillshare. Yeah, I guess you don't really possess the, like when I want to learn how to do something, I watch a YouTube video. Like I taught myself how to knit on YouTube. I feel like you don't like watching YouTube videos. like tutorials. You're more hands-on. You like to take a class. Yeah, I do. I like to take, I should do more master classes. You would think I would do more. Yeah, like I'm always, especially with like tech stuff for the studio, everything I know, I know from YouTube. Yeah. Yeah, I would do a tutorial for something like that or like everything, like every kid's toy I have to like put together like we're on YouTube.

18:46I believe it was the great Craig Cottover who said he learned how to sew on YouTube. Just like you. We have so much in common. Mm-hmm. stories today are interesting it wasn't like a crazy weekend it was a very busy weekend that's code for week it was a very busy weekend for human beings you know it was easter and so people weren't like making crazy news they were just like down home with the family and that's not like titillating stuff which is good yes i hope everybody had a really lovely and pleasant easter weekend i hope everyone had a very happy easter and i recognize now that good friday is a somber day so it's not happy good friday no it's just good friday good good friday and i think what you meant to say was happy easter well i did you know that i did i love that one i know you do yeah it was a very cute easter on social media saw a lot of people having a lot of fun looking it's a party holiday obviously all holidays are great but it's a good one cute and and it's meaningful and and they get dressed up and everybody looks pretty and there's candy yeah What's not to like?

25:50Obviously, Doot to Do is forever in our hearts. Doot to Do is forever. We built the show off his back. Yeah. He was an amazing dog and an amazing friend. He's a founding member of Toast Inc. 1 ,000%. And when we go public one day, our moniker will be T-H-E-O. It will be D-U. With a fist emoji. Do strong. Do strong. our first story is major news like probably the most of the elk of the most major news we could possibly report because pope francis has passed away today at the age of 88 right after easter following right after i saw conclave right after you saw conclave following a health crisis and month-long hospitalization so pope francis died today at the age of 88 the vatican said the pope at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.

26:46Rip. We were just saying he's the most influential man in the world. We were just talking about him. Oh my God, are we seriously cursed? No, no. Just to say the most influential person in the world has passed away, that's major news. And I guess if I was a religious Catholic, I would definitely think about the timing. It's really crazy. Yeah, it is. It definitely feels connected to the heavens. Yes. It feels symbolic. Now that I know what goes down in the immediate aftermath of a pope passing away, I just know there's a lot going on at the Vatican, and people are just flying in all these archbishops.

27:23Bishops. No. What's the one with a C? Cardinals. All these cardinals, yes. I don't know if they're going to elect a hermaphrodite. I feel like they're not, but it's always a possibility. It's a possibility. It is, but I know that there is within the church, I guess like this was the whole point of Conclave, like this real push and pull, this tug between people wanting to keep the old traditions and those wanting to, you know, progress a little bit. I think Pope Francis was more progressive. I'm not entirely sure. Really, don't quote me on that. Yeah, no, he's known for being more progressive. That's part of his legacy.

27:53And so rest in peace. Rest in peace. But it'll be very interesting to see what happens next. But our hearts are with everyone who is mourning this iconic figure. I wish I knew the players. Like, you know, I wish I knew who was up for it. Who's next up? who's been waiting their whole life or like yeah there's probably like three or four like clearly over a number of times right who's like last opportunity is it you know you only get i think as like a lifelong cardinal i think you attend maybe one or two conclaves like it's not well that's also because it's not supposed to happen so often but i feel like we've been through a couple popes in our lifetime i feel like we've been through three there was one that was like pope for a day do you remember that one he was sure he like was he was he didn't die oh oh they kicked him out i don't know if they kicked him out or he left he like wasn't working out this is just about i feel like that's like not something you can do i feel like that'll just be quicker yeah yeah yeah i know it's a job for life so maybe was there a recent pope who stepped down or resigned question mark searching the web yes there has been a recent instance of a pope resigning in 2013 benedict xvi said deteriorating health and age-related limitations as reasons for his departure it was a significant event as he was the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years following his resignation he adopted the title pope emeritus and lived in a monastery within Vatican City until his death in 2022.

29:28All right, so he lived for 11 more years. Oh, no, 2013. Nine more years. Couldn't have been that bad. Yeah. No, I don't think it was health. I think it was difference of opinions. And by the way, that was the most previous one after Pope Francis. So then after his resignation, it's crazy. You have like a fake pope name. I knew that. Not fake, excuse me. I'm sorry. Like the King of England. Sometimes. Is that not their name? Well, for Charles, it's his name. But before that, like Edward was David. and got it you're like it's not always so if anyone was interested in pope francis's real name i want to say jorge j-o-r-g-e oh yeah it's right here uh jorge mario bergaglio mario did i say mario me too sorry so disrespectful cardinal jorge mario bergaglia of argentina was a successor taking the name pope francis what would your pope name be no i'm kidding this is like seriously disrespectful conversation i'm like really not making jokes here except for maria which was an accident like i know i'm not making jokes either i'm not making jokes either i don't know if you guys have noticed i haven't made a joke yet i'm not making any jokes i just um i'm really looking forward to like when they select the new pope because i am gonna say they've elected a new pope who knows what movie that's from uh euro trip yes i almost said eurovision yes uh yeah that's definitely obviously in the works in the midst of the grief for the Catholic community and communities around the world.

30:52But they are sort of popeless right now. Yeah will there be an interim pope? Right like that's the thing with the royals when the person passes there is like not a minute that they're without a leader. Right. So I don't know and that was a problem in the movie they were taking a really long time and left the peeps without a leader. Yeah I wonder what the elk of the next pope will be. Maybe it will be someone a little younger. Will they be more progressive, more modern, more traditional? And this was in the film too. What about a black pope? I don't think there's ever been one. And they represent, I think of the pope as Roman, Italian, Rome.

31:32No, it's Catholics around the world. They represent a large group of poops. Francis is Argentinian. They should live stream the conclave. I don't know. I feel like no. I feel like there has to be like things that they want to say that they wouldn't say in front of the world. No, yeah, you have to be able to speak freely in a conclave. Yeah, yeah. Based on what I know from the film, of course. I didn't see the film, but I just imagine like there are things for the private, you know, and this is like a very significant thing. Like you wouldn't want it to be watered down by outside views. And I wonder if you are like a devout Catholic.
