Burying Hatchets With Taylor Strecker: Tuesday, November 4th, 2025

13:37Taylor Strecker:you thank you so much so i was asked about like the husband of it all and i when i read the quote i thought chef's kiss it was so nice about him and it deserves to be like we are you know so we're growing she's growing i love that taylor now i had one more thing i wanted to ask you

13:56Claudia Oshry:how is teddy doing and i've spoken to her briefly about it but like you know we and i struggled with it too like we are swirlies who love a cocktail we like to swirl it up with a cocktail yes i know that you have not been like a sympathetic partner you've not stopped drinking no how is teddy doing without the drinking so i've been cocktailing more than ever which is the problem um but like

14:22Taylor Strecker:that's like she's so cool she never gives me shit there was a time in the beginning when i was drinking i'd be like are you mad at me is this annoying are you mad at me oh god you would become like a self-conscious drunk person how annoying she's like if you keep asking me it's gonna be annoying just drink and shut up about it she really doesn't care um but she's been amazing and I've even been like Tay like you're in your third trimester like you truly could because we were out to dinner when she's like oh what I would do for a glass of red and I said you you could I won't judge and she is just like I don't want to I don't want to yeah that was like a nice part of

14:58Claudia Oshry:pregnancy that I realized because I was worried like so much of my social life is you know revolves around I love a cocktail I love going out to dinner and like you worry that it's gonna be boring or that you're gonna yearn for it and you can't have it and your body really helps you out like it's the last thing you want you have no cravings for it like it's just yucky it's like

15:15Taylor Strecker:in your mind you want it but then when you get it you're like this is not worth anything that's worrying me it's kind of like when I first started going on Ozempic whatever yes it's like I poured it because I because I have an addiction but then as I'm drinking I'm like this tastes like swill yeah let me ask you another question yeah did you hear what I said on the toast about the baby's

15:40Claudia Oshry:name I did and what did you think thank you for the shout out the way I love a shout out it really means everything to me please never stop so you're never I mean you're not never you're not telling anyone the baby's name listen you and Teddy know it who came up with it we came up with it together Who came up with it? We came up with it together. Who are you? Fine, I guess it's me.

16:02Taylor Strecker:If you have to pick.

16:03Claudia Oshry:Oh, sure, sure, okay.

16:05Taylor Strecker:No, like when you find out, the truth will be revealed. And so did you like my suggestion though? Your suggestion was so fucking good. So yours was Birdie, right? Yeah. All right. Here's the T. Birdie was on our list. Very hardcore. We didn't even think about the Eagles-Birds connection. brilliant beyond brilliant oh you just liked the name it was so good we almost put it back on the list because that's how good your logic was like I was like but should we it was a very strong contender but then my sister-in-law Tay's little sister Allie she has been fostering dogs and she fostered a dog that we were kind of interested in maybe adopting and she accidentally without realizing what she was doing named it Birdie and Birdie and her she's a beautiful girl okay But Birdie and her snaggletoops, I could never get that out of my head.

16:58Claudia Oshry:No, you've made me hate the name now.

17:01Taylor Strecker:So Birdie is officially off the list. But a very valiant effort and such a good guess. And very good logic. Have you told anyone? We have told no one. Tay's mother does not know. Her sister Ashley is literally, Ashley just recently, she's really A for effort. She's really trying to try. She was like, Tay's birthday's coming up. I want to get her something, but I feel like it'd be like really great to get her something for the baby. But I want to get it monogrammed. So if you could give me, and I was like, listen, you know, I would tell you like right, right. The second I am scared of Tay. She is a pregnant woman.

17:41Taylor Strecker:She doesn't ask for anything. This is the one thing she's, we have to honor it.

17:44Claudia Oshry:We have to honor it. I just want to say like, it's insane that you're not telling me and I'm so upset. I know. Don't worry.

17:49Taylor Strecker:Join the fucking club. And so, But I almost gave her the initials. But then I was like, you know what? Things could really change in the 11th hour.

17:57Claudia Oshry:True.

17:57Taylor Strecker:So I just said it's worth me not giving you the initials. But just like, no, I'm so sorry.

18:04Claudia Oshry:I can't fucking wait for you to come home. I can't fucking wait for you guys to have a baby. Like, it's going to be so much fun. Like, us and Brian, like, we all have babies. Like, it's going to be sick. I know. Tay's actually coming home a little bit before me. Good. If she needs anything, you know she can come stay with me. Literally, can she come live with you? By the way, how's the new pad? It's so great. I'm so fucking happy to be home from LA, by the way. I'm glad you're having like a nice time, but not for me. Not for me.

18:32Taylor Strecker:I do get it. I do get it. And don't worry. Nobody's at risk of us moving out here. Okay.

18:37Claudia Oshry:I don't know. You're kind of crushing it with what I think you're doing.

18:40Taylor Strecker:I just come out here, extend periods of time, loves it, but work. I cannot be an LA person.

18:48Claudia Oshry:In the car all day.

25:32Taylor Strecker:and things and you know whatever i thought he was a magician but then i just reminded myself he's actually a hypnotist oh is he yeah he's like a like i think he does a lot of woo stuff but like one of his main things is hypnotizing people like to quit.

25:47Claudia Oshry:So do you think she maybe doesn't love him? He just hypnotized her.

25:50Taylor Strecker:That's the fear. Is she okay?

25:52Claudia Oshry:That's like fucking crazy.

25:54Taylor Strecker:Isn't that crazy? I mean, listen, he's very hot, but like he is, he's not a no one, but I mean, he has seven times more Instagram followers than me. Not that I'm counting, but that's really crazy that he's

26:06Claudia Oshry:a hypnotist. I never thought about that. Like, cause you know, you just find yourself in conversations all the time. Like, Oh, what do you do? What does your husband do? Oh, my husband's

26:12Taylor Strecker:a hypnotist so really i don't want to judge but it's an interesting profession we'll say that

26:17Claudia Oshry:i i like that it's an interesting job for sure it would have you ever been hypnotized i actually have not have you i have i have for what so um i know you didn't grow up going to summer camp so you might not understand but like a core memory and a core part of like literally any new england summer campus experience is like an evening activity being like they bring in like a hypnotist

26:42Taylor Strecker:who like hypnotizes the kids and that sounds like a legal issue so everyone's like in the gym and

26:48Claudia Oshry:like the the hypnotist like chooses chooses like 10 people they brought it at school too actually um chooses like 10 people to hypnotize and you go and you sit on the chair and i remember i had i have experienced like five or six over different summers and stuff five or six hypnotists and i I remember wanting to be chosen so fucking badly because it's like the whole camp is packed into the gym and like only 10 or 15 kids get chosen. And I remember getting chosen. And I remember like faking the entire time. Because he's like, when I snap my fingers, this girl will think she's driving a bus. And so he stopped.

27:31Claudia Oshry:And I was like, hello. I was just like pretending to drive. It was so fake and so stupid. So I kind of understand what Jennifer Aniston's dealing with. Yeah, totally. Same, same. I imagine it's just like so frustrating to date a hypnotist. Like you get into an argument and like instead of gaslighting you, he just like takes a pendant and starts like swinging it in front of your eyes. Yeah, I'm a little worried about her. Like is she okay? I know. I mean she's definitely getting dicked the fuck down. He's enormous and so hot. Yeah. And she's like in perfect shape. You know she could put her legs behind her back.

28:05Claudia Oshry:So I think they're having a good time. I love an age appropriate relationship. She threw him a birthday party and it looked like Courtney Cox was there, Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler, tons of A-listers. So I think he's just fine, you know?

28:17Taylor Strecker:So Reese Witherspoon was just an armchair expert and she was kind of taught somehow Jennifer Aniston came up. About Brad Pitt, right? Yes, and she basically was saying how like she doesn't like overthink things. She doesn't hold on to things. She's like actually like the most lovely person ever. She's friendly with all of her ex, Brad Pitt included. and like who was the guy she was married to for literally one year. Justin Theroux. Yes. And like, oh, and also Gwyneth Paltrow was at Jennifer Aniston's 50th and she was Brad Pitt's fiance.

28:44Claudia Oshry:Girlfriend, yeah. Well, you know what? It actually is so sad and crazy that even today, like when I went to choose stories on the front page of page 6, they were talking about Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Like literally nobody's ever moved on from that. And she's like a deeply accomplished person. She's like a, obviously a huge actress. She's invested in a ton of businesses. She's the face of a lot of companies. Like she's killer business woman. She's so accomplished. And all we're ever fucking talking about is Brad Pitt. It's insane.

29:11Taylor Strecker:It's insane. So I'd like to introduce a new line of communication or, or conversation when it comes to her. Can we talk about how toxic it is to be friends with all of your exes and like all the people that are their exes too. That set, that speaks volumes. That doesn't, that's not a good look to me. That's a bad look. That's a fake look. That's a fraudulent look.

29:31Claudia Oshry:So I feel like I really can't contribute to this conversation because one of my greatest sleighs in life is that I married my first boyfriend. I don't have any exes. I don't have to worry about running into someone at a restaurant like you kind of do. So I don't know if it's crazy to be friends with an ex. It sounds nice. It's also crazy to like you had sex with that person. I don't know. It's just crazy. But I can't relate. I think it's crazy.

29:55Taylor Strecker:But I'm also negative and can't let shit go. So maybe I need to look into the mirror for a second. Maybe I need to be more like.

30:01Claudia Oshry:You definitely have negative toxic tendencies. That's for sure. What do you think is the most toxic thing about you? The way I can hold a grudge. I like that. But I actually don't think, like, I think holding a grudge gets a bad rap. Like, did you do something bad? Why should I forget? Right. And also, like, Queen Taylor Swift, she also loves a grudge. And look at the gorgeous art we get from the grudge holding.

30:24Taylor Strecker:So it's actually an amazing thing.

30:26Claudia Oshry:And I actually have a Taylor Swift lyric for you that I think you will love. Go. And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put them. I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of, like, we'll bury the hatchet, but I keep maps of where I put them in case I want to unbury it. That's such a good line. I like that. What's that from? This new album? Reputation. No. Yeah. I'm fraudulent.

30:47Taylor Strecker:I'm a fraudulent Swifty. I know. How about this?

30:49Claudia Oshry:I'm a low-tier Swifty. Well, I was saying this on the episode with Zandra yesterday. Like, I actually appreciate people who say, like, I like some of her music because I think in this day and age, like you have to be a Swifty if you want to be like a content creator. And if you say otherwise, like I think a lot of people fake how much they like Taylor Swift. Me and Margot, I was just thinking about this the other day. When the Aerith tour was in New York, we went to one of the shows with a brand, like in a suite. And low key, me and Margot had the worst time. Everyone there was fake fans. Like me and Margot are like diehards.

31:20Claudia Oshry:We know every song ever for like 10, 15 years. These people were like dancing and jumping, filming themselves for like 22. shake it off and then sat through the rest of the concert and then we went home and saw their content and it was like literally best night of my fucking life stop you're so fake that is i feel like it's such an annoying thing now we're like people overplay and like exaggerate the type of there so i really appreciate you saying like i like her music i think she's a nice girl but like

31:44Taylor Strecker:you don't have to be the biggest fan of everyone it's okay i really really like her you know what actually i have like um you know those memories that you have that you're like this like whenever

31:52Claudia Oshry:you think about it you want to die do boy do i would you say one of them was when we went and did karaoke together absolutely no I have so many like butt-clenching memories especially when I'm

32:04Taylor Strecker:drunk wait so mine is actually from the same day that you did we did the karaoke and we were Shannon Ford we were at Cipriani yes the three of us we sat down and Taylor Swift came up and you and Shannon you weren't trying to trick me but I felt like you were trying to trick me but you weren't and you guys were both like oh what's your favorite Taylor Swift song and I started to panic and I felt like I was

32:27Claudia Oshry:I'm dying it's so funny I have no memory of this the fact that like it's something you have relived 10 ,000 times in your brain I have no idea what you're talking about I know we all went to Cipriani for lunch the way I feel like you and Shannon after we're like

32:38Taylor Strecker:that was so embarrassing I'm dying we've never spoken about it

32:43Claudia Oshry:what did you say? you didn't go home and write about it in your diary? no what did you say when we asked?

32:48Taylor Strecker:I panicked like I was given a pop quiz and I like forgot names of songs like everything went blank

32:54Claudia Oshry:oh my god

32:54Taylor Strecker:And I was like, the one that's about Conor Kennedy, which there isn't one. I just think there is there. Which song were you talking about? You're on your own kid.

33:05Claudia Oshry:You always have been. Hey, that's so not about Conor. 15 years later. There are some songs on read about Conor Kennedy, but that's funny.

33:13Taylor Strecker:Yeah. So anyway, look at that.

33:16Claudia Oshry:Let this be a lesson to the listeners. Like the moment in your mind that keeps you up at night that like you're deeply ashamed of that you like have gone over. and gone over and gone over that keeps you up at night no one else is thinking about it Taylor I

33:28Taylor Strecker:don't even know what you're talking about oh my god that is the most you know what this is life

33:32Claudia Oshry:lessons with Taylor and Claudia healing yeah truly um okay next up an American institution has died McDonald's god forbid I know no six flags has officially closed after 50 years of operation and I don't know why I chose this story because I feel like you like used to fuck around at six slides.

33:54Taylor Strecker:Oh my god that's so funny. Now listen I didn't get fingered on a roller coaster like Reese Witherspoon in Fear. Although. I've never seen that movie. Couldn't we all dream? Oh my god I ruined it for you. I'm so sorry. It's the best part of the movie. I wasn't gonna see it. I will say this. First of all watch it. It's amazing. Second of all like my germophobia overcometh me when I think about that scene because I'm like they didn't have Purell back then. He didn't have wet wipes. And those places are fucking filthy. filthy so i unlike reese i don't want to get fingered at an amusement park but well they

34:31Claudia Oshry:posted on their instagram like thank you for 50 years of family fun yada yada but i had heard that they were doing like some sort of partnership with travis kelsey oh yeah in october it was announced that he would be joining a group of high profile business people to invest in the brand and enhance shareholder value improve the improving the guest experience what happened so So are they failing after Travis Kelsey or like they failed and now Travis is coming to help? Oh, I don't know. Let's say the latter because I like that better. It actually makes me sad like for kids these days. I feel like this is like a real indicator of like kids don't play outside anymore.

35:09Claudia Oshry:Like when I've definitely been to Six Flags, but I'm not like a big roller coaster person. Margo used to go all the fucking time. I like more like a water park. But those are like that was like the most fun you could have as a kid. Right. I know. If you said your dream day, you would say, like, I want to go to Six Flags with my friends. And I feel like everybody made so many core memories. And now, like, what? They're just, like, inside, like, playing Twitch. It's just sad. I know.

35:31Taylor Strecker:I mean, I could never get fingered out of Six Flags. That's horrible. It's horrible. What a loss.

35:39Claudia Oshry:I know, like, you are a lesbian, but you're obsessed with getting fingered.

35:42Taylor Strecker:No, I actually hate fingering. I think it's disgusting and everybody just cut it out. Like, grow up. Oh, my. Oh, so you're self-hating Les. No, it's not about les. It's about everyone. Heteros are included too. Straighties are also a part of this. Actually, straighties are the biggest culprits of the fingering crime. Oh, of course. It's our fault. It's disgusting. You're so negative. I'm such a straight hater.

36:04Claudia Oshry:You are such a straight hater. Straight-a-phobic. I just, I feel this cis flag thing is like a really bad sign. Maybe I'm looking too much into it. I know. Don't worry. Don't worry. Like, listen, this is just - By the way, I am worried. I'm a mother now. Blockbuster doesn't exist anymore. And then we got Netflix. So maybe we'll get like. Do you ever yearn for the days where you could just like get in the car? Oh, no. No.

36:29Taylor Strecker:What? Get in the car. Like have to go stand in the aisles. For some reason, Blockbuster always made me have to poop. It's like the library or Walgreens.

36:38Claudia Oshry:It just made it more of like an activity. Like nowadays, like you get in bed and you just like scroll on your phone while a movie plays in the background. whereas before like you would have to go and pay and it made it a whole thing it made it like

36:49Taylor Strecker:movies exciting I mean yes but like also I don't know I think that we just we're we're so spoiled like we we long for things that are actually so annoying yeah well that's true because like

37:01Claudia Oshry:they're inconvenient but you know this would be a great time to bring up our 11 year age gap which is one of my favorite things to talk about um how did you interact with Blockbuster like how old were you? Were you like going to Blockbuster in college?

37:14Taylor Strecker:Yeah, I was 33 at Blockbuster's because I'm 103 right now. I took my kids there. Fuck you. No, it was like 20 years ago. I was like 12. No, I was like

37:28Claudia Oshry:12, Taylor. Me too. No, you weren't, bitch. You were

37:32Taylor Strecker:like working in a corporate job. Okay, just wait a second. So I top it with the elderly abuse. Also, yeah, when I was in college I wasn't a loser going to blockbuster I was doing keg stands and taking like bong hits

37:47Claudia Oshry:oh yeah one of the like craziest fun facts about Taylor Strecker that like doesn't add up with the profile I've built of you in my head is that you went to Ithaca College okay wait it's seriously

37:57Taylor Strecker:the weirdest fucking thing about you explain yourself I have so many questions like do you feel like it's too good of a school or less good of a school I don't even know if it's good or bad

38:06Claudia Oshry:it's like an unknown rando school who's ever heard of Ithaca College oh like when I think of Ithaca college I'm like oh Cornell welcome to my biggest trigger it's just like a random school I don't know anything about it I guess it's how people feel about like Jackie coming to Colgate now that I know about Colgate like Colgate's much better no no no is it bigger how many how many kids like I don't know is it is it a community college first of all the job

38:33Taylor Strecker:I was raised by such educational elitists there are no words your dad is a doctor he went to Harvard.

38:42Claudia Oshry:Oh, right.

38:42Taylor Strecker:My mom went to Boston College, at least in Boston. That's like the Harvard of Boston. But no, it's yeah, it's a big school.

38:49Claudia Oshry:Harvard's in Boston.

38:52Taylor Strecker:But like, like BC is a really good school, at least. Yes, it is. Where I whatever. My brother went to Harvard. My sister went to BC and they were like, oh, good.

39:02Claudia Oshry:Good luck at your idiot school. You know what? I've never asked you this because I only know you as an adult but like what sort of role did you play as Taylor in your family your siblings

39:12Taylor Strecker:are younger than you yeah yeah a lot Paige is six and a half seven years younger than me and Zach is 11 and a half like younger and same parents there's like so you were the older sister you were meant

39:25Claudia Oshry:to like sort of like Olivia and in our family like Olivia really set the example she was a very good student she was definitely the smartest um she knew that she was like supposed to be a leader and she was she's been yelling at us all the fucking time yeah um and like was that the role

39:40Taylor Strecker:you took on i i took more of a role of the cautionary tale oh okay like also an important role very it was like see what taylor does do the literal opposite did any of your other siblings get sent to san francisco for the summer to live with their uncle beau no no they did not they did

39:58Claudia Oshry:not get that honor and privilege taylor one of taylor's like it's actually your favorite story Taylor has the same 10 stories much like I do Kenan's Uber driver I have the same 10 stories you have the same 10 stories too and I'll never forget when you told me this story and I'm like I've listened to your same 10 stories 100 times and you never thought to bring up this one Taylor was like a troubled youth how old were you? I was going into my senior year of high school so that makes me 16 or 17 and you were like behaving poorly so your parents sent you to the west coast

40:27Taylor Strecker:I was dating a boy who loved pot and my parents did not and my dad was like they wanted to drug test him and I said no and my dad said I want to be in the room where it happened the room where it happened he literally was like I want to see the pee come out of his penis I don't trust this kid he's gonna bring his friends clean urine in and I was like you can't look at my boyfriend's penis and my dad was like I'm gay my dad was like I'm a

40:55Claudia Oshry:doctor to which I said that's also true that's true and I surgeon it's okay doctors is a doctor

41:02Taylor Strecker:I guess dogs is the doxes. Anyway, so I just said, he'll fail it. Forget it. Anyway, so they shipped me away to get away from him, where I lived in San Francisco and smoked even more marijuana. And you spent, what was it, at like the state fair? So I worked for my uncle in his casting agency, and he said I was the worst employee he ever had, and he fired me. But he said I had to work to teach me like life lessons, et cetera. A thousand percent. So he got me a job working at a carnival with a former employee of his who drove a 1980s teal Corvette, not in a cool way. And, God, her and her, I feel like her and her husband were pot dealers.

41:39Taylor Strecker:Like, the irony of what I was moved away from to go to. So I left pot, and I basically ended up, by mistake, doing meth.

41:48Claudia Oshry:Can you tell my story? I actually haven't heard it in a while. And it's seriously the craziest story. You're literally Leanne Locken being a carny kid. I'm Leanne Locken carny kid.

41:56Taylor Strecker:I'm selling paintball games at discount. What a saleswoman I was. I sold that shit out of those games. And there were always these, like, toothless wonders that were like our carny neighbors. Okay. And so they loved me. Ugh. Of course. And would hit on me. Anyway, so we were, it was the end of the carny season. I love this story. Like, carny graduation. Because I kind of forgot it. And so they were like, let's go into the. Oh, it's carny. Congratulations. Okay. Let's go to the Toothless Wonders, the Toothless Twins Winnebago, where they live. And have like a farewell party. Like a kiki. Yeah. So we're all sitting around, gorgeous upholstery.

42:43Taylor Strecker:Shag run. And I go to the fridge to get a beer. And all I know is they all go like this. No, no, no, stop. There was a cooler. There was a cooler full of beers. I just thought of, I go to open the fridge and I'll scream, no, the next thing I know, I am outside of the Winnebago, on the ground, being brought back to life, and they are like, like, we can't live there anymore, our home is ruined.

43:17Taylor Strecker:So it is my understanding that I opened their meth lab. kitchen yeah and the nox fumes like literally knocked me out and i ruined their house

43:32Claudia Oshry:like seriously like that's what i mean when i say taylor strecker has lived a hundred lives like when you told me that story i couldn't believe i'd known you for 10 years and you never told me that story it was just so fucking funny thank you thank you okay moving on vitter pump rules has a new show like they're starting from scratch it's season 12 they released a trailer there's a ton of hookers in it i didn't know anyone uh their names are venus binkley jason cohen shane davis chris hahn angel angelica jensen marcus johnson audrey lingle natalie mcguire demi salem and kim suarez um yeah they're trying something new they're not having like OG cast members no one to like grandfather in the the way I don't give a fuck you know same first off check on Sheena is she okay that she's not like cast Lisa Vanderpump did you see that Sheena was talking about her decision to not join the valley please no but she said like she actually had Alex Baskin the producer on to like sort of corroborate that she said no because nobody would believe it I'm still up I I extra don't believe it do you have beef with Sheena

44:45Taylor Strecker:you know i talked my fair share of smack back in the day when i was at sirius and she definitely heard because there's like an og reunion like second or third season where she's screaming at stassi and she's saying how stassi talked mad shit on the cast and so i was like no i didn't and she's like you went on on that girl's show and called me savannah pump old a good girl. We didn't. First of all, we didn't. Second of all, like Sheena, stop stalking me. So, I will say this. Sheena definitely, when we are at the same places, which is not often, but when we have been in the past, she avoids me enough that it tells me that she does know me and knows the things that I've said.

45:28Taylor Strecker:Fair enough. I mean, there's been like, back in the day, I would go to like, I remember we had a dinner. Like, it was Stassi and Kristen and Katie and Sheena and we were at the Soho house. Tay was there. And Sheena was like, she's just so pick me. And I was like, girl, we're all here. Like everyone's sharing stories. Like stop like she, like when it wasn't about her, she was like pushing her food around on her plate pouting. It's just not for me.

45:51Claudia Oshry:I just feel like this show is also not for me. Like I'm just a little mature. I've moved on. Like I like the graduated shows. Like the Valley, I actually really enjoy. They said they were giving us a Stassi Schroeder reality show. I don't know if Hulu has gotten their act together. I did see Stassi posted. It looked like there was a camera crew with her in Vegas. And also my friend Taylor, who's sitting right here, seemed to have been there too. There was. I saw a TMZ story that said that Stassi was filming somewhere.

46:21Taylor Strecker:And you were there.

46:22Claudia Oshry:So you would know if they were filming.

46:25Taylor Strecker:I didn't see myself on TMZ.

46:28Claudia Oshry:I did.

46:29Taylor Strecker:Oh, really? What was I doing? Did I look cute?

46:31Claudia Oshry:You were dancing at the pool.

46:36Right?

46:37Claudia Oshry:I. So all I have to say, I will not be watching this. I wish everyone the best. Yeah, listen, I do. I like Lisa Vanderpump very much. Oh, I saw Katie and Stassi were, sorry to cut you off. They were just hanging out. Yeah, that's what I saw on TMZ.

46:55Taylor Strecker:Very. Oh, oh. It looks very exciting.

46:57Claudia Oshry:Yes, it does. Wishes of WeHo have returned.

47:00Taylor Strecker:I know, right? I love a reunion. Yeah. In terms of this. Yes. I'm all set. Yeah, I think I'm good. I love Lisa. So it's like, Lisa, I want your show to do well because you're Lisa Vanderpump, obviously. Vanderpump rules. But it's just not for me. I know the trailer came out. I just feel like it's, I don't know.

47:18Claudia Oshry:It's, I feel as though we beat this horse dead. They tried to regenerate the show many times and I don't think it's worth saving. Like, it was a moment in time. It will never be what it was. Like, just let it be.

47:31Taylor Strecker:Right, it's like, yeah. I don't know. I mean, there's been so many sequels that have happened and people were like, I wish Legally Blonde 2 didn't exist because it like ruined my memes. So maybe this is going to be the same thing or maybe it will be amazing. I will watch the first episode. That I will do.

47:48Claudia Oshry:Oh, that's big of you. I won't. If it's amazing, I feel like I'll feel the pressure to watch it and then I'll start in the middle. I'll let you know. I'll be your litmus test. Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Nanit. Parenthood looks a lot different today than ever before and the tools that we have access to do also. like Nanit. So think about how obvious it feels to track your own steps, your own sleep, or how you wouldn't leave your house without your phone, your smartphone. Well, it's hard to imagine parenting today without a smart baby monitor. It lets you see your baby anytime, anywhere, and so much more.

48:16Claudia Oshry:I love Nanit. Oh my God. It was like the first thing on my registry and now it's the thing I buy for people most on their registry because it's such a good thing to have. I'm always checking the Nanit. If you're tracking sleep, if you're in your sleep training area, you get so many good insights and statistics. I feel like silly even doing an ad for Nanit. It's really a product that speaks for itself. And I don't know anybody that doesn't have a Nanit. It is so worth the money. It's the number one most awarded smart baby monitor trusted by parents and experts. It's the smart baby monitor on the market.

48:44Claudia Oshry:It tracks everything from babies breathing to their sleep quality, giving you key insights into their health and well-being. It's really like having a second pair of eyes that never gets tired. When I think back to the cave women who were having babies in caves, I could not believe what they had to go through and the fact that they didn't have a Nanit. I don't know how to do it. Like I'm just obsessed with my Nanit. On average, parents use Nanit for over four years because it is that good. It's really the baby item that we can't live without.

It is so soft. It feels like pajamas, but very chic. People will stop to ask you where you got it.

The music industry will never be the same because Hilary Duff reveals a countdown on her website ahead of a music comeback. So she teased a comeback and then she posted on her Instagram that she is releasing a song November 6th. It's called Mature. I know. I'm worried about the title, but I don't care. I know. So then she also posted, well, not she, Jake Shane posted that he's having his season finale and it appears as though Hilary Duff is the guest that he was hinting at. And he's really like the go-to podcast, especially for music.

54:20Claudia Oshry:I think a lot of musicians like understand his influence. So that's a great place for her to go and talk about her new career. Love. Her husband, Matthew Coma, is like a digitally, not digitally, a critically acclaimed producer. So I actually do think the production value will be there. I mean listen

54:35Taylor Strecker:she is I am so obsessed with Hilary Duff and I'm like a late in life lesbian and a late in life Hilary Duff fan so I'm because I'm old I she I remember my little sister watching Lizzie McGuire Lizzie McGuire and so it was like kids stuff and what did you watch a girl I watched Day by the Bell okay I watched Did they have TV when you were growing up no it was just pictures I just I just moved the picture the radio yeah no No, we got the picture book right after the advent of the radio. That's beautiful. But I just like, so when I got to work for Younger and I did their after show Getting Younger.

55:15Taylor Strecker:Oh, I forgot you hosted that show. I like didn't understand the Hillary hysteria that existed. And I got to know her through doing the show. And she is just truly the most amazing celebrity I've ever met in my entire life. She's the fucking best. She's salt of the earth. I'm completely obsessed with her. So, and like, she can like do no wrong. Like, I just.

55:38Claudia Oshry:Well, she did do wrong to me, but I don't want to get into it. Oh my God, I forgot.

55:42Taylor Strecker:You know what?

55:42Claudia Oshry:I've moved on. She went on The Good Guys and Ben said the same as you, that she was amazing. Like, if Hilary Duff is your hero, I think like meeting her would be above and beyond your expectations.

55:55Taylor Strecker:She like, like, even I come on set, she'd be like, so how's Taylor doing? She like, she's like a real person.

56:00Claudia Oshry:I love that. That's really nice. You must have just had, you must have met her, like, she maybe was gumming down with the flu. So, no, it was when she had brown hair. That's it. Do you remember? As a brunette, I can relate. She was post-Disney in her pop star era. She was definitely just, like, a bratty. She wasn't a teenager. I think she was in her young 20s. But, like, you know, she was, like, a starlet bitch. Those are hard times for children stars. Yes, definitely. And I also think what you're talking about, like, her humanity, is a real testament to how she has maintained a good career from child to adult.

56:35Claudia Oshry:Very hard to do. It takes a mentally tough person.

56:38Taylor Strecker:Truly. I think I interviewed Justin Bieber when he was like, I'm not a widow boy. I'm a big boy. Right. And it was a disaster. And I talk about things that keep you up at night. Jesus Christ. Oh, that. So, yeah, I definitely, but, you know, Justin, I mean, I don't know if he's thriving, but he's been through it. But, you know, he's doing better than me.

57:01Claudia Oshry:I also think like we don't know how Justin Bieber's doing. Like I think everything is very much like a facade.

57:06Taylor Strecker:Fair, fair, fair.

So will you join me in helping the swirlies out there in desperate need of our help? Love to help. I mean, listen, do what I say, not what I do. Oh, of course, of course.

There's a little submission box, totally anonymous. or you can just shoot us an email at deartosters at gmail.com. Both methods totally anonymous.

57:33Claudia Oshry:We'll help you out. Anything from office, workplace drama, relationship drama, wedding shit, family shit. We don't give a fuck. All right. Hey, ladies. I'm a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding for my best. What? I just love wedding drama. Go. Do you? Okay. So I feel like you and I are going to have different takes on this. I am a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding for my best friend. I have a baby who will be two months old. She is exclusively breastfed and will not take a bottle. after some thinking my friend and her soon-to-be husband have decided that they don't want children under 10 at the wedding including breastfed babies my feelings are hurt as an exception cannot be made for my baby to be there and therefore i'm unable to be there logistically i don't think it's possible for me to be a breastfeeding mama and a bridesmaid at the same time am i the problem here is it fair for me to back out as a bridesmaid thanks for the help i i just feel like everyone's giving up like so quickly there's not a solution the baby doesn't have to be in attendance they are giving up so

58:25Taylor Strecker:quickly it's like what if well listen I don't know the ins and outs of breastfeeding even though I took one whole class I know that's crazy I'm not an expert yet but like I here's the thing I already love this person I love this woman this girl this mother this breastfeeding mom because she is like you know what these are the rules and it's just not going to work for me so I'm just going to remove myself because there's a lot of people who make everybody else's wedding about them yes I suffered at the fate of that once upon a time but we've moved on now and we're grown but like sure sure I'm literally being triggered so hard I'm like don't say it um but I just feel like you know what like yeah if you can't do something for a wedding and like I respect so hard that she's already following the rules so I think we're off to a grand start I think she should go to the bride and be like listen I love you your rules are your rules your wedding is your wedding i respect that shit out of you that being said i'm a breastfeeding mom i have a baby who

59:21Claudia Oshry:will not take a bottle it's like an issue so i well what does this bride expect you to do i feel like the bride like low-key doesn't want you to be a bridesmaid anymore because she's literally put you in an impossible situation of course your baby's not going to starve so if the baby's literally not let on the premises then you can't be there but i don't know this kind of sounds weird like you would try to make this work you're also you have a two-month-old that's that is so postpartum the fact that you're like going to her wedding and spending the day away from your two eight weeks like that's fucking crazy um I don't know why I just feel like this girl doesn't want you at her wedding because she's not being even remotely flexible it's something I feel like I'm

59:53Taylor Strecker:missing a piece of information here I do too I feel like how about this she'll get her answer I think she just go back and be like respect your boundaries because every bride like loves to hear that and then say but because of that I don't think I can not only be a bridesmaid but attend the wedding but definitely not a bridesmaid because it's all day long so just say so like I'm not mad. It's all good. I'm just going to back out if that's okay with you. And then you'll see. The bride will either be like, wait, wait, wait. I don't want that. Let's try.

1:00:23Claudia Oshry:You're right. She's saying backing out of the bridesmaid duty, not of the wedding. Right.

1:00:28Taylor Strecker:Because that's like a whole day long. And then you'll see your friends. So you'll get your answer. Either she'll be like, okay, get the fuck out, bitch. Or she'll be like, oh, wait. Let me figure out what I can do. Or fine, you're the exception to the rule, but you're a bridesmaid. So we can make it work. her answer will tell you all you need to know about your friendship. Yes.

1:00:46Claudia Oshry:Because not to be a conspiracy theorist but just based on the information given it's like oh your friend hates you.

1:00:51Taylor Strecker:LOL.

1:00:52Claudia Oshry:Right. Not you going to the dark side. I'm as a. That's just what it feels like. Like obviously it's her wedding and it's all about her and whatever she wants she gets but like you can be a little bit flexible with the girl who's in your bride bridal party who had a baby eight weeks ago.

1:01:04Taylor Strecker:No no no. You know what you're right. This is my non-mom side talking. It's like no like her friend if she's not a total self-absorbed bitch should be like. I would just make a few accommodations. But that doesn't apply to you. I know you just had your baby. So obviously we'll work something out. Her just sending this like blanket statement rules. Yeah. You're right. Exactly. There is like a, there's a subtext to the context. It's hard not to be a conspiracy theorist. Your friend hates you. She's the worst friend ever. I fucking hate her. I've never talked to the bitch again. Your husband is gay.

1:01:32Taylor Strecker:You're a big boy friend. I know. I saw him at the gay bar the other day. He was at the Abbey. Your friend hates you.

1:01:37Claudia Oshry:You know what? Next up. Wait, you know what I heard?

1:01:39Taylor Strecker:Your baby hates you too. Ah, Taylor.

1:01:41Claudia Oshry:I'm joking. I thought we were joking. We are. This next one is a total 180, okay? One of my friends has decided to introduce herself to a guy at a party in an Irish accent. She told him that she grew up in Ireland. I'm dead. She, in fact, did not. She studied abroad there for two months. We were just out to dinner with a group of our friends. She mentioned that she's still going on dates with this guy, and they're actually getting quite serious. I didn't say anything about it because I thought maybe it was just a bit. But as we were leaving dinner, she called him, and as she walked to her car, I heard her doing the accent.

1:02:08Stop.

1:02:08Claudia Oshry:She's always been kind of like a pathological liar, and I've really kept my distance from her in that aspect. But this is really out of hand. Do I confront her? Is this crazy? It is so crazy. I just want to say this girl sounds funny. I know it's probably annoying to have a friend who's a pathological liar, but I respect her committing to the bit. You definitely shouldn't confront her, because it's literally none of your business. Who cares if she's lying to this random guy? But it's a funny story. Like, I'm cracking. She's fun. I like her. I want to hang out with her. Let's bring her out with the swirlies.

1:02:36Claudia Oshry:Do you know anyone? Do you have like a friend in your life who you know is just like a fucking liar? Like everything that comes out of their mouth is a true lie?

1:02:43Taylor Strecker:Yes, yes, yes, yes. And this person I knew and loved and then we kind of had a falling out. And then anybody that would listen to me, I was like, she's a liar. She's a liar. She told a lie about me that was so crazy, like truly like made me question her mental health. Like she made it up out of thin air. It was based in absolute no truth whatsoever.

1:03:06Claudia Oshry:No fact, yeah. but it's very freeing when you realize that about someone that like everything they say is a lie but it's hard to get like other people to believe you but but we reconnected and she's fucking

1:03:16Taylor Strecker:awesome and like i don't even care because she's just oh so by the way wait no so she totally did

1:03:21Claudia Oshry:the thing that you totally did the thing i did not no i did not yes you did no and no because how could you forgive someone like that because she's so fun and we never do i know this person

1:03:30Taylor Strecker:by the way you do not know this person but she and we've actually never talked about that part of it but I'm willing to let it go because I think that she was in a momentary like I think that she became a psychosis yes because she was dating somebody who made her insane and so I actually don't take it personally so you know what I take I walk that back I don't think she's a liar she did lie on me but I think it was just extenuating circumstances okay you say you

1:03:55Claudia Oshry:hold grudges but you really don't because that's a very healed thing for you to say now you're blaming her boyfriend like I blame him for everything to the day I die I'm sorry just this girl walking to her car and putting on a fake Irish accent for her man. Like, you know what? It's hard to get a guy. And sometimes you have to spruce up your personality. You know, we all act differently on a date. You know, we talk a little bit more proper and we sit a little bit straighter. So she's pretending to be Irish. You know what? I commend her because, you know what? To get married these days, you have to be really committed and you have to put your best foot forward.

1:04:27Claudia Oshry:Yeah. And you know what? I respect it. It's giving Ilaria Baldwin. win. It is giving Hilaria.

1:04:34Taylor Strecker:Sometimes you have to be interesting for your mans if you want to, you know, if you want to catch him, if you want to make him marries you.

1:04:39Claudia Oshry:And you know what? While she did have a momentary cancellation, she's doing better than ever Hilaria. So I feel like we're going to see this Irish girl on Dancing with the Stars. The fraudulent Irish girl. The fraudulent Irishman. Our third and final is a little bit of like weight related, which I think we're both really experts on. Yes. Hey, Claude and Jax. I'm a long time listener and desperate need of advice my mother-in-law loves to buy me clothes just because normally i would consider this a sweet gesture however each item of clothing is hideous and it's always a size extra small or small despite my mother-in-law knowing i'm a medium slash large my whole life i've told her this many times each time she gives me these clothes it's in a group setting and each time i hold up the item and check the tag she always announces now sweetie i couldn't remember what size you were so i got two of them just let me know if you need the bigger size and i can return this one it's such a bitch move it makes me want to crawl out of my skin i just graduated law school and passed the bar exam i'm trying to lose that extra weight i gained during that stressful time and my mother-in-law's comments really make me want to die my husband says i'm thinking too much into this and that my mother-in-law's just trying to be nice but i've always been a bigger girl and i have to admit i can't fit into a size extra small small to a whole table of people is embarrassing i feel like it's intentional am i crazy or is my mother-in-law

1:05:49Taylor Strecker:totally trying to fat shame me what do i do please help your mother-in-law's crazy she's the devil Incarnate.

1:05:55Claudia Oshry:And your husband's an asshole. Totally. Oh, of course. She's not doing that. Shut up. Shut up. And here's the thing. We have to, this woman is hurting you, right? She's embarrassing you. She's making you. And I just want to be clear. Yes, she maybe doesn't know your weight, but if you said like you're an oversized, not oversized, sorry. You said a heavier sized girl and her buying an extra small. Everybody knows when you buy a gift for somebody, like if you want it to fit, you just go bigger. And you don't even talk about the size. You just like give it to them. Your mother-in-law's a bitch. Your husband's an asshole.

1:06:24Claudia Oshry:this is 100 % intentional and we have to we have to get her back like sorry if Jackie were here she would be like well maybe no we have to get this woman back and here's what you do because she like buys two sizes and this woman's like clearly spending a lot of money let her let her here's what you do you're gonna donate the clothes you're gonna throw them away don't give her the other size like let her keep spending money be like yeah I love it more more more let her run up a big fat ass bill meanwhile sell it Poshmark start a Poshmark literally start

1:06:51Taylor Strecker:that's what I did I had somebody who I used to know. Okay. I gotta lay it there. And they got me an extra small bikini. Everyone knows you size up. Okay. I mean, I don't know that

1:07:05Claudia Oshry:because I don't wear bikinis, but good to know.

1:07:07Taylor Strecker:And, well, I never wore it because it didn't fucking fit my goddamn, it didn't even fit my finger. Yeah. And she also made a comment of like, I heard that when you wear bikinis that are smaller, it makes you look thinner. She said, girl. Who is this bitch? Girl. And I was like, You are setting me up. And then every time I saw her that summer, why didn't you wear the bikini? Why didn't you wear the bikini? Why didn't you wear the bikini? Psychotic hose beast. So no, I literally, this happened to me and the girl was being mean. She also said to me, and I quote one time, I wore a short dress. I'm very insecure about my legs.

1:07:39Taylor Strecker:I do not like my knees. I never show my legs. And I literally was hashtag brave one day and wore a dress that just skimmed my knees. And she said, oh my God, look at you. I never see you in short things. And that was it. No, like, and you look great.

1:07:53Claudia Oshry:So I'm telling you, these people exist. They walk the earth. Yes. And they have to be stabbed back the way they're stabbing you. And here's another idea. She's always buying you gifts. Why don't you buy her something? Yeah. Buy her something triggering. In an offensive size. Correct. Yep. Be like, oh, I thought this fit you great. And it's, like, it's big. Give her a taste of her own medicine. She's a bitch. And honestly, like, your husband's really pissing me off. Like, I know it's not his fault, but, like, the fact that he's not hashtag believing women.

1:08:20Taylor Strecker:No, he has to. you have to believe the victim. You must.

1:08:23Claudia Oshry:Yeah, you have to play this episode for him because he doesn't get it. And I understand he's not a woman. He doesn't understand the trauma and the generational trauma that comes with sizing. And when you see a tag, you're automatically transported to sweating in a dressing room. It's very triggering. He maybe doesn't get it, but the fact that he's now gaslighting you and you're like, wait, am I crazy? No, you're 100 % valid.

1:08:43Taylor Strecker:Well, I think that the way you get back at her is you force him into therapy. Thank you so much, mother-in-law, for the excuse. And then you make him hate her. Ha ha.

1:08:52Claudia Oshry:oh love that but that's like that's kind of that's playing the long term that doesn't happen overnight right yeah i'm good at that yeah you do need to start planting seeds though because you need to start making actually you know what i'm a boy mom now and i see things differently and i would never encourage somebody to maybe you would never do that i don't know like i remember when jackie became a mom and she started doing dear toasters you know she started changing her tune a little bit and she's she stopped siding so much with the daughter-in-law's writing in you know she'd be like but maybe wait wait you know what the girlfriend did you see the girlfriend that i did whose side were you on depends like you know who are you asking mama turd i'm asking or wife turd turdy lou freebush turdy lou freebush is a mama and i'll leave you with that okay it's hard to pick cherry side but but cherry.
