Category is Business: Tuesday, February 17th, 2026

27:25That's the whole point of a business. Right. We're not supposed to know your name. It's just like a businessman. So like add Paul Salem to the list of eligibles. I love him. How is he putting himself out there? So TMZ is told they're not dating at this point. The sources say they share two mutual friends and have met twice in group settings. What the fuck? I don't get it. What do you mean? Like this is not how like high profile people act. No, not that this is news. I love this story. I know. This is not how like really wealthy people act. You're supposed to be cool. Yeah. I met her once through a friend and now you're telling me?

27:56But why does TMZ know this? Know that Paul likes her. He hasn't even asked her out yet. Why are we talking about it? This is so strange. I feel like it's going to backfire before it even has a chance to blossom. And this is like what that Olympic bronze medalist thought he was doing. Like big romantic gesture. He's like, maybe if I go to TMZ. And you just know like Nicole Kidman hates the press. Yeah. Because he's going about this all the wrong way. Yeah. He needs to invite her to MGM as like a, well, I don't even think. She's not a Vegas girl. No, like he could invite her as like a guest of honor, but like she doesn't need a free trip to Vegas.

28:27They'll have to pay her to get her there. Yeah. And then. But also it's not just Vegas. MGM owns like. Oh, true. Oh, by the way. She doesn't need a free trip anywhere. Paul sounds like he could be a great strategic partner for our business. So watch what you say. So watch what you say about Paul. He's extremely handsome. He's extremely handsome. I really ship him in the cold. Me too. He sounds like a great guy to not only go into business with, but also a life. You know what? I really like this sort of story. Like so-and-so has a crush on so-and-so. Like I want. You know what? Sure. That's news I want to know.

29:01Yeah. Yeah. I have a crush. And even if it goes nowhere, like I'd like to know what's in your heart. That's beautiful. And I personally love like learning about a new businessman, you know? Me too. Me too. We should learn about a new businessman. The businessman of the week. New segment idea. Segment. businessman of the week because obviously paul david what's his last name is the businessman of the week um i like how i made him jewish paul david he will obviously be our inaugural businessman of the week but i think we get a framed photo for these um shelves of paul shalem every week we should each like we'll alternate you bring a businessman like it could think of your what's your favorite and i think that will encourage us to like start reading about business news.

29:51I think so too. Because did you hear actually a lot of business news? I have a businessman of the week. Oh my god I do. Let me find his name. Hold on. Okay. It's easier if I do it on my phone. Okay. But it's not going to be Paul? No.

30:07He divorced in 2021. Okay. Let me learn more about Paul. I bet his ex-wife's like group chat is blowing up. Did you see what Paul did? Okay. Ready? my businessman of the week is Ross Stevens. Do you know him? Is he the Dolphins? He's a CEO and founder of Stone Ridge Holdings Group. Do you know him? No, I don't know Stone Ridge either. I feel like he might be, because this has to do with sports. He has pledged$100 million to give 200 grand in financial benefits to every U.S. Olympian and Para-Olympian starting in Milan, because you know they don't get paid. A lot of them work multiple jobs. So if you go to the Olympics and represent our country, this guy's giving you 200 grand.

30:49That's great. Can I see a picture of him?

30:54So it's 100 million total for that? Yeah, I think it's not just for this Olympics though. It's like a fund. Oh, wow. And maybe other business people. Oh, that's good. That's really good. Oh, he's handsome, Ross Stevens. Oh, wow. He looks like the Selling Sunset Brothers. Oh, my God. He's giving Oppenheimer brothers. And is he married? I'm finding out everything there is to know. And? So he started Stone Ridge Asset Management. So it's giving like money. All these places are reporting about Paul Salem romantically pursuing Nicole Kidman. What did he put out a press release on The Wire? I don't know.

31:32I don't know if Ross... By the way, and you know what I really like about Ross Stevens? There's no information about his personal life on the internet. oh but so does the businessman of the week have to be single no okay we're just learning about businesses that's the whole point so stone ridge raw stevens raw steve okay we'll have a tie raw stevens and paul salem for businessman of the week I love it. Good luck, Paul. Good luck, Paul. We're rooting for you. Yeah. No, but literally it's in Daily Mail. It's everywhere that Paul is romantically pursuing. Wait, so how does this sort of information get out?

32:14It's giving like he had MGM, like seriously, the PR team draft up a statement. Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us Salem is romantically pursuing the Oscar-winning actress. Wait, so it's like not even a dating announcement. I don't know. I've never, this is not like a, there's no template for a story like this. Do you know what I mean? There's no precedent. It breaks the mold. It's unprecedented. It's broken the mold. It's broken me. I don't know what to say. I'm over here talking about businessman of the week. Businessman of the week, though, a great idea has been born. Yes, right.

32:43Are you ready for our next story? Frida Baby has responded to the controversy. They have put out a statement in defense of Frida Baby's self. They say from the very beginning, Frida has used humor to talk about the real, raw and messy parts of parenting that too often go unspoken. We do this because parenting can be isolating and overwhelming and sometimes a moment of levity is what makes a hard experience feel human, shared and survivable. They added that while the products are designed for infants, the brand's voice is intentionally written for the adults caring for them to make, quote, awkward and difficult experiences feel lighter.

33:15However, they acknowledge that humor is personal. What's funny to one parent can feel like too much to another. We're never trying to offend, push boundaries for shock value or make anyone feel uncomfortable. They emphasize their mission to support families through some of the most vulnerable and transformative chapters of their lives. We will continue to show up with honesty, empathy, and courage. I was reading this statement with an open mind until that line. Because I don't agree with the statement, but I was giving it a chance until we will continue to show up with honesty, empathy. That's just word salad.

33:45Yummy, yummy. So I think for the most part, people have been like, wow, this is like a rude statement. They're basically not apologizing. Yeah, they're saying, like, you're not funny. No, like, you don't get it. You don't get it. we're funnier than you and this is mature humor get over it now i kind of like this statement like i do like when like no they said what they said like this is their way of marketing and while they're not hurting anyone some people think it's like taking it a little far and they're not being like wokey like no we're sorry we're all gonna cancel ourselves like i kind of like that they're like no this is what we do if you don't like it like that's totally fine i'm like i'm kind of over it like I'm not going to punish myself by like canceling this company like I need them more than they need me um and I saw somebody make a really good comparison that like you know because if you ever watch like Shrek or like a kid's movie there's actually like a lot of adult humor like layered on top of it that obviously a kid would never understand but it's like for the adults now they took this a little far and like I still don't think that it's a good way or an appropriate way of like marketing your products but it's their way and they're doing it you know yes and i can understand like it's jokes for the adults but there are some jokes like about having a threesome with your baby but i do think when people are like and i feel like for something like that because it's so sensitive and like it's just so inappropriate like they could have just said a couple of them missed the mark yes because now people are going back and being hypersensitive Like some of the stuff isn't, it's not all bad.

35:13When it's put in the light and next to baby threesome, then everything looks nasty. Baby threesome's really bad. So they could have said some of them missed the mark. Yeah. And maybe some of those posts were from a while ago. So they could have been like, and that was in the past. And we're going forward with honesty, empathy, and better judgment, whatever. But the threesome thing was like new. No, I feel it was new. Okay. So, still. It was yesterday's. Yeah. No. There was zero acknowledgement that even any part of it missed the mark. Yeah. And with this category and this subject, you know, these like, I'm sorry, there's literally like no room for error.

35:51No, I agree. But I'm moving past like I am letting go. I agree. I'm not going to like punish myself. There's something Frida that I love and I want like I'm not going to like full boycott like Balenciaga. But it's not going to be my default. Oh because Frida makes it like You know sometimes I just buy the Frida one because I'm like It's probably better Until I know that like it's the best one I'm not going to just like be Always throwing my money at Korea You know I can't like work that hard You know if I need something I'm just getting it You know I don't know Like I don't really believe that there's like a ring Of like in Balenciaga I actually felt like there was something extremely nefarious Going on I agree.

36:35And we never got any sort of resolution. And it was just really spooky. No, and also it's not hard for me to not buy Balenciaga. With Frida, I feel like Frida is a company that like up until this point has like talk the talk and walk the walk. I feel like they are like a parent founded company. I feel like they do like you have. I think I'm always hearing about like, you know, so many moms work there and they have great parental leave. And like they do a lot of the things that they say they're going to do. I've heard that they have terrible parental leave. that's weird that you just said that because that's what i heard all right now we have to google it hold on and it's a very toxic workplace someone sent me that but that's i didn't bring it up because like just someone sent it to me it could be wrong okay frida provides employees with flexible paid pregnancy and parental leave as a part of their benefits package yeah flexible is me now like good luck finding anything about them right now that doesn't have to do with like the sexual jokes jokes and memes it's just jokes and memes right great maternity leave okay i'm on glass door you know where people can like leave so frida baby has a 4.4 but there's only 13 reviews they have health insurance dental insurance flexible spending account vision insurance life insurance during summer you get to work from home okay a lot of people are saying that 15 days pto okay summer remote and a great maternity leave three months and one remote month for a parent company i think they could do a little bit better they could but that's not that's like standard the remote month is nice frida has so many company perks meals swag generous pto hairs hair nails great parking strong benefits matching a 401k in a beautiful office according to anonymous team leader mr frida and i think they make like products that nobody else makes like for moms like postpartum like i'm just i'm giving them another chance like i can't i can't not i can't afford not to yeah i'll see how it i'll see what i do next i don't know if i'll pull the trigger yeah one thing about jackie you think she's gonna take and she's eggs like yeah but like this just rubs me the wrong way and i opened like the frida thing that i bought right before this straw i opened it this morning not happily i already bought it of course but like no and don't like throw i see i see people doing this all the time like don't throw away your frida products first of all you bought them second of all that's so wasteful and like i can understand somebody like even like balenciaga don't throw it away like you paid for it you don't have to wear it but like you can still have it go sell it yeah like something don't throw away your frida products like then you're just like punishing your baby you're punishing yourself yeah you already paid for it right now you have to go out and like spend more money and like leave the house don't yeah i agree with you though like i like when people are like no you know what this is who we are this is what we do but I just like not for this I know in like backlash culture when people do nothing wrong they apologize and then it gets into a thing where like if you don't apologize you're evil and I think it's like a really vicious cycle so for a company to be like no no like this is our thing like if you don't like it you don't get it like that's fine and we're sorry if that hurts you it just hurts you so I do like that approach now this is such a sensitive topic like maybe not the right time to do it but I do like when people are like well what if you just fucked off like yeah but a a couple things went too far and they should have just acknowledged that, you know?

39:43Yeah. But then it sort of is like admitting like, Oh yeah, we're just freaky. We're freaky. It's an enormous admission. Freaky. Yeah. Freaky Freedia. So I guess they actually couldn't admit it. Otherwise it's like, Oh, okay. A bunch of pedophiles. Then you have that admission on your permanent record. Yeah. But they could have just blamed like Jim. And why as a kid were we always like threatened with the person permanent record? Like what record? Is that like your school record? Well, it would have been your school record as a child. That goes on your permanent record. Do I currently have a record?

40:15Well, you don't have a record. Or is it like a judicial record? There's both. Like the way they were saying it, it was like you have a permanent record your whole life with the government. No. Well, I hope not. But you have your school record. And then if you have a record. Right. You have a record. You have your cousins. Then you have your first cousin. Exactly. And you don't have a record right now. No. As far as we know. TG. Are you ready for our next story? It's a major memoir news. Not major. Oh. Minor memoir news. Okay. Joshua Bassett. Oh, wow. It's a really, really good day. No, no. It's not that dry.

40:49I wanted to talk about this. Oh, okay. Because we always talk about Joshua Bassett. Did you forsake, like, any other story for Joshua Bassett's memoir? Maybe, like, Brooke Snader passing out on the private plane. Okay. Can we also talk about Brooke Snader's birthday party in St. Bart's? Yes, but first we're talking about Joshua Bassett's memoir. What do you think it's called? Memoirs of a Bassett? Nope. I don't know. So he has like the Disney background. Would I be able to guess it? No. Oh, so go. It's actually a pretty good like. Overarching title? Name. Rookie. My public private. My first period.

41:21My public, private, and secret life. That's so funny. I think this is an awful title. Like just all around. Rookie? He's not a baseball player. Maybe he is. But he's known for singing and dancing. You know whose memoir could be called Rookie? whenever we find out who they are. Like the Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year? Pug Caso. You are always trying to hurt me. Jackie actually said to me before we recorded today that, yeah, I'm rooting for Pug Caso for the remainder of the season of The Masked Singer. When you know he attacked me personally. It was the audience that attacked you. He did what he had to do.

41:58Imagine how Pug was feeling in that costume. It was warm. Knowing that he's going up against Queen Corgi. Yeah, I can't even listen to that song anymore. ordinary that's how it came up this morning yeah it was playing in like our pre-show like jam sesh of which we're always jamming yeah um and she was like this song is ruined for me and that's i told you my truth right that she's rooting for bud casa she has a picture of him on our wall he's the background of her own i need to know who it is i need to know who it is and the funny how come no one you don't have any producers that will just fucking tell you and put us out of our misery the thing is i actually think that they won't tell if i had asked maybe they would have told me but they know I'm obsessed with it and like they don't want me to say it on the show because like they take the integrity of it.

42:38Yeah, it's true. So I don't think they would tell me but it's funny how like it's pretty much decided who everyone is. Like people on Reddit, they figured out everyone. They knew Billy Ray Cyrus. I think they know that Galaxy Girl is Ashley Simpson. They know that the Stingray is Evan Ross. Like how cute. A married couple on together. Oh, wow. So they figured, they know Snow Cone is Heidi Pratt. Imagine if Ben was on it too. Would that make it better or worse? They should have done that. That would have made it worse. Okay. Because like the only thing holding me down. You needed him with you. With child care.

43:01Right.

43:04they figured out who everyone is except there's still this big question mark on Picasso the person I just need to know and it's like they're they kind of have nothing right now well they have Anthony Ramos which I just like have a really hard time believing he would do the show have you checked like the the chat boards recently on who was Picasso they're still throwing around Cordova Street based on like a little research I did just like behind the scenes of someone I know who like has um like who knows cord he like wasn't in LA at that time they don't think Viewers strongly believe it's Philip Phillips.

43:35Oh, okay. Wait. And then, did you see Philip Phillips made a TikTok about us? Yeah. Where we were talking about the Masked Singer. And I don't think if he was Pug Caso, he would have made that until he was revealed. Do you know what I mean? Really? Yeah. No, I feel like the same way you did crumbs. Oh, maybe they are leaving crumbs. Okay, this is what... Wait, if it was Philip Phillips, I would die. Gemini said panelists, guests, all these... I don't think they were right. Clues point to Philip Phillips. Other less likely theories included Cordova Street and Anthony Ramos. And Matthew Morrison.

44:08I'm still holding out hope. Oh. I just haven't heard Philip Phillips sing in a really long time. I need to go find a cover of him singing, like put in the work. Yeah. People say Philip, Anthony Ramos. Okay. I'm really pulling for Anthony Ramos. I know you are. And I know like if Anthony Ramos came up to you and like slapped you in the face, you would say, who are you? Like you have no idea who he is. I just said like the clues were really compelling. You don't even know who he is. Hamilton. You've never seen Hamilton. He must be in something else. In the Heights. You never saw that either. You know, I should start following him to see if like he's leaving any crumbs the way you did.

44:41Right. We wouldn't know if he was. Like if he's singing on his podcast more and more. Oh, maybe actually that's a good call. Maybe like production asked him to make a TikTok.

44:53Let's do this later. We have so much to do there. Okay. Okay. I'm just obsessed. Yeah. Okay. So Jonathan. Oh, Joshua Bassett's memoirs are coming out. memoirs of a Joshua. Like, if he doesn't have five chapters, no offense, like, this is gonna be really mean. I'm like, personally, I don't need a memoir from him. I'm not really interested in any aspect of his life other than that, like, three-year period where, sorry, three-month period where he stopped dating Olivia Rodrigo and started dating Sabrina Carpenter and then created, like, two of the biggest pop stars on the planet. Like, if he doesn't have enough credit.

45:20And how does that make him feel? Right, does he get any proceeds from anything? Like, he just sort of was left behind. Sabrina was almost left behind. That saga, I will never stop talking about. No, it's insane. I need, you know how they do? She defied the odds. Sabrina. Oh, it almost became the saddest story ever. Like there was a year or two long period where Olivia ate her up, chewed her out. She released skin. Nobody cared. And then Olivia went on to become like almost the level of Taylor Swift. Like almost. And then something happened. I feel like Taylor actually got involved. Like I have so many conspiracy theories about that time and like how Taylor played into all of it.

45:53Stopped being friends with Olivia. Started touring with Sabrina. Like there's so much. I need like an actual documentary on that. because it was almost the greatest tragedy like for what happened to Sabrina. It does feel like Taylor sort of weighed the scales. Yeah, because whoever Taylor gives her, people are always like, she's the next Taylor Swift. And no one really was until Olivia Rodrigo. She was so on her way to becoming like a real contender. And I think she rubbed Taylor the wrong way. They had some sort of something with the licensing and the sampling something. And they both fucking hate each other now.

46:31And I think just to stick it even more to Olivia, Olivia Taylor was like, well, let me give my approval to Sabrina, you know, opening up for the Ares tour at such an interesting time too, like for the Ares tour. And then TikTok, a lot of it was natural, like slam the door, like that dance, that launched Sabrina a lot. It was a perfect storm, but Taylor definitely helped. Yeah, but Sabrina has the goods. Plenty of people have opened for Taylor. Well, Taylor gives her approval to a lot of people who like are not threatening. Like she's always like lifting up fame. They will never in a meaningful way like impact the music industry, let alone Taylor, you know.

47:05She always gives Gracie like her flowers. And Gracie's sort of like a non-threatening. She's powerful. She's, I'm sorry, she's successful and she's talented, but she's not really ever going to be like a threat to Taylor. So when Sabrina got like the Taylor, that was the first time Taylor ever gave flowers to somebody who like has what it takes. But Olivia too. Right. But then she stopped. So the second time. But then she stopped. Yeah. Second time, yeah. And I think she did it, like, for a lot of reasons. Yeah. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. A little wacky Olympic Village news of the day.

47:38Oh, God. Olympic Villages run out of condoms at the 2026 games. Oh, my God. We're always talking something about, like, sexual... Activity at the Olympics. I mean, wouldn't you? No. Well, you have to think about the fact not every Olympian there, like, is about, is winning gold. In fact, most aren't. Right. But... Most of them are young. are in the prime of their life, surrounded by other fit youngsters. The village does foster like a sense of community. I believe there are probably like gatherings. Yeah. And then you also just feel like you're back in college, right? You're in like this little room with a little bed and it makes you want to do like crazy things.

48:12And you see them like at the cafeteria. Oh, how'd you play today? And so I remember a couple of years ago, it was a story that the Olympic Village started giving out condoms just to like promote sex safety, which is always good. And now they've already run out after a report from Italian outlet La Stampa said the free condoms available to athletes at the village ran out in just three days. Well, it sounds like an amazing marketing opportunity for a Trojan or a KY or like some, you know, sexual wellness brand. La Stampa said we can confirm that condom supplies in the Olympic villages were temporarily depleted due to higher than anticipated demand.

48:45Additional supplies are being delivered and will be distributed across all villages between today and Monday. They will be continuously replenished until the end of the games to ensure continued availability. I'm curious about the means. Like, how do you go about getting one? Like, do you have to go to, like, your RA? Or maybe they're in the bathroom, like, with the tampons. Yeah, maybe they're just, like, in your room. Maybe you get, like, a gift basket. Yeah, but it's, like, some people might use zero and other people might use 20. There's definitely, like, a commissary at the Olympic Village where, like, if you need toothbrush, toothpaste, like, and condoms.

49:15And they're free. Yeah, like a canteen, if you will, snacks. Not to account for like the people who brought their own. I just feel like if you brought your own condom seal in because like you're not winning gold. Like you're so not making gold a priority. No, you're not here for the right reason. You're just here like to have fun. And that's great too. No, but like as you should. Yeah, YOLO. Like this is once in a lifetime. A thousand percent. Like we said, you're probably not winning gold. You might as well have a great memorable time with your fellow Olympians. You know, it's really like a community.

49:41Nobody knows what they're going through other than them. You know, Utah won another medal, a silver. Queenie. Mm-hmm. And she was like training with someone. Oh, yeah. You saw that. She was training with the American. So there is an American. I told you about him. Jordan Stolls. He's like widely considered like the greatest speed skater of our time. Like maybe ever. He's won all the golds. He keeps breaking the records. Everybody wants to kill him. Like all the other. They just can't stand him. Like he's so fast. He's literally Michael Phelps. And then they caught a really funny moment where like Utah and him were training together.

50:09Because it's like the two greats. The two greats. Yeah. They see one another. Yeah. And like he is so famous in the Netherlands. That's what they were saying. because speed skating is not really popular. Because he's a huge sport. I had never heard of him. So like the Michael Phelps, except nobody's heard of him. In the Netherlands, he's so famous. They call him the Jet. Cute. So like him and you should definitely know each other from being like Dutch pop stars. And maybe like he's friends with Jake. Hopefully. He doesn't give Jake vibes. Maybe he has a lady love. He lives on like a rural farm in Wisconsin and he like skates on his pond.

50:38He definitely does not like get along well with Jake. You never know. You can't put Jake in a box. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I am. A little sad. Oh, no, I'm not. Oh, my God. I've literally forgotten what we're here to do. I know. Which is to raise funds for our future business. Today's episode is brought to you by.

51:00Hiya. Everyone is talking about New Year's resolutions, getting your supplement game, your vitamin game down. But something that could really impact your family for decades is your kids' health. So something that might keep you up at night as a parent is that our kids might be the first generation growing up on ultra processed foods. And what are the long term effects? We're only beginning to understand them. So while everyone else is promising to hit the gym more in 2026, why don't you focus on something that will actually stick, which is better nutrition for your kids? And that's why Haya exists, to give parents a real solution in a market flooded with products that prioritize candy like appeal over actual nutrition and ingredients.

51:31So some kids vitamins on the market today contain up to seven grams of sugar per serving. They are stuffed with artificial additives and petroleum based dyes. Haya has taken the total opposite approach. Zero sugar, no gummy junk, just clean nutrition. But the crazy thing is that kids actually love them. The taste, the experience, the bottle. My niece, Michaela, is obsessed with them. Sometimes you find that with kids' stuff, you're doing a trade-off. The kids love it, but it's terrible for them, or it's great for them and the kids won't go near it. Haya is a great blend of both. They make really thoughtfully designed products.

51:59They look at what modern kids are eating or not eating and then formulate around those specific nutritional gaps. So they have tons of vitamins and minerals packed into 12 organic fruits and veggies like vitamin D, B12, C, zinc, folate. And the bottle is like super fun and you like put stickers on it and the kids love it. We've worked out a special deal for their best-selling children's vitamin.

Her B-Day party. Her B-Day party. And she got food poisoning on the private jet en route to her 29th birthday celebrations.

55:03I feel like we can add to the list of like things I talk about all the time is the fact that I'm on Brick Snider's close friend story. And I don't know like how I got there. I'm so grateful to be there. I will never snatch. Like it's just such a when you think like she lives this fabulous life. It's like that 10x. But I did see she she shared this. But like a few days before she posted on her close friend story, these like videos of her unwell on a plane. And I was like, oh, my God, what happened? Turns out it was just a little food poisoning. That's what she said. bad sushi. You can't keep a good girl down.

55:29I feel like that's what you say when it's not bad sushi. You think it's like another GLP-1 induced episode? I can't do. Yeah. She's so open on the show. You can't pull the wool over her eyes. Literally, has anyone who's ever said, oh, bad sushi, actually had bad sushi? And the thing is... She fainted on the plane, the ambulance had to come. She's on a GLP-1, so we know she isn't eating that much sushi. So even if it was one piece, it's not enough to call an ambulance. Yeah, and she's always with her sisters and she's the only one who had bad sushi. that she's on the floor. But I think whatever is going on, like Brooks isn't entitled to her privacy.

56:03But like bad sushi, that's literally like a cliche at this point. Her birthday party looked so fun. It's very rare that I see something and I wish that I was there. Sometimes I'm like looking at stuff. I'm like, I know that wasn't fun. I saw this party and I'm like, that looks so fun. Like it was just like her really, like her actual friends and like a ton of her family. Of course, Trinity from the show was there from Louisiana. Of course, Trinity. And she rented this enormous boat. They all stayed there and just like, partied the whole weekend, swam, like, St. Barts. So fun. Yeah. But, like, they didn't go on.

56:32It didn't look like they ever left the boat. No, they went to La Guerrilla. Oh, they did? Okay. She's, like, swirling around town. Oh, yeah, I saw them, like, bringing bottles in a motorcycle. But, yeah, they got a boat, and I just can't believe that she got off the plane into an ambulance and then, like, partied hard for her birthday. One thing I know about Brooke Snader is, like, she works hard, plays hard. Yeah, she's going to rally. It's not just a facade. Like, they are so busy all the time. She's, like, literally the biggest model. She's doing campaigns for everyone and everything. And every weekend she's going to Aspen.

56:59She's going to Malibu. She's going to St. Bart's. Like she does not stop. I guess it's like when you're 28, that's what you do. Right. But also maybe that's also why she ended up on the floor of the plane. Yeah. You know, she's not putting Brooks first. She needs like a little R &R. Yeah. I'm worried about her. Yeah. But like, I know she's like happy and fulfilled. And like, I'm not worried. Like, I just like, I'm worried about her like physical being. Yeah. She needs like a massage. and like a nap. Well, I feel like she gets massages a lot. Yeah. That's what I learned from the show. Yeah, but they're probably like lymphatic, purposeful massages.

57:32No, it looked like very peaceful and relaxing and she was on her belly. Okay. Okay. And a nap. Don't forget the nap. Don't forget that. Oh, you know what today is? My anniversary. I was thinking when I said the date earlier that it sounded like a something, like a birthday. It's a very busy week for me, like in my life between Valentine's and her birthday and anniversary. And today's my anniversary. My husband, we're celebrating seven years of marriage. Happy birthday to you. Happy anniversary to you. Happy birthday to our marriage. Beautiful. And a beautiful marriage it is. It's the day our marriage was born.

58:02Well, today is also, besides obviously being your anniversary, which is huge, it's also Tuesday, which means it's Dear Toasters Day, our weekly advice segment. So every Tuesday, Jack and I do a segment called Dear Toasters where our listeners write in if they ever find themselves in a bit of a pickle and we try to help them in, I would say, a sort of old Jewish mom type of way. Like, that's the kind of advice you're going to get here. If you're looking for, like, softball, We're here to tell you the truth. So every week we pick three submissions. If you ever want to write in, you can send us an email, deartosters at gmail.com, or head over to our website, thetoastpodcast.com.

58:31You can scroll down. There's a little submission box. You can also buy merch. You can do whatever you want. You can catch up on episodes. Our website's kind of RJ. And our new business will be on our website. No, our new business is actually separate from this business. From our website. Yeah. We'll need a separate website. And they won't ever link? There won't be a link? Maybe there will be one link. Okay. We obviously have, like, a lot of work to do on our project because, like, we're still working on little things like that. Yeah, I can understand why it wouldn't be on our website. Yeah, but I don't know.

59:02We get so much traffic on our website that you wouldn't. I don't want traffic to the new basement. Right, right. Just an idea. All right. First up. We'll brainstorm. Hey, Jackson Turney. I need to know if this is a nice gesture from my ex-fiance's sister or it's just extremely odd. Me and my ex-fiance broke up several years ago. I have since remarried. Three years ago, I got remarried and I'm pregnant. I randomly got a$1 Venmo from my ex-fiancee's sister that said, hope it's born on the 15th. It's worth noting she doesn't have social media. The last time we texted was two years ago. Is this weird?

59:34Should I say something back? That is weird. It is weird. I need to know more about the sister. Like, is she a weird girl? She sounds like crazy. Yeah, no, she sounds like, like this is something like, like someone who's like a little off would do. So that's why I said I need to know more about her personality. I don't. Yeah. I don't. I think it's just a weird. I want to respond. What's the 15th even mean? Like. Maybe it's like a bet. Maybe it's like the Ides of March. No, it's really weird. But also, like, do you want to engage with this person or not? Do you like this person? And you like this is stifling further relations and you want to be like, hey, what do you mean?

1:00:11But like if you're never going to see this person again, like I just could. Yeah. I guess it's hard for people to just like actually ignore things. Especially when you're pregnant. you're like low-key really bored especially when it's your first pregnancy like there's quite literally nothing to do when you're pregnant with your first baby yeah i can't do any of the things from your old life and like your new life hasn't started yet i would just ignore it because yeah of course because it sounds like i'm like something that interests no i'm also like scared like i wouldn't involve myself with a crazy person and i feel like if you follow it up it's just giving like a still foot in that world yeah it's an ex-fiance it's like kind of a big deal sister yeah no I know but it's not like an ex-boyfriend ex-machetem sister yeah like if you saw like a person being crazy on the street like you wouldn't go engage with them right so Venmo like she's acting crazy like don't engage and then it's like a step back into your old life yeah personally like I would not go backwards in that way but this is probably very jarring for you to receive the notification and I'm sorry that you have to deal with that while being pregnant yeah cause it's weird yeah but you'll be okay you're like pregnant with your new man Right, right.

1:01:11Living well. She's obviously like stalking Venmo. The crazy thing is that she doesn't even know how you, she doesn't know how this girl knows she's pregnant because she has no social media. And you got a dollar. Don't spend it all in one place. All right. Hey, girlies. One night, my boyfriend and I were so drunk and I was on my period. This is like much more of an unburden myself, but I had to pick it just to make you uncomfortable. Hey, girlies. One night, my boyfriend and I were so drunk and I was on my period. We were trying to have sex, so I pulled out my tampon and I completely slapped my boyfriend in the face with the tampon.

1:01:39What the hell do I do? Do we bring it up? Forget it ever happened. I think that you should go get treatment. Like you should never drink again. Like this is insane. And was it intentional? No. Oh, accidental. You know, a tampon on a string, it kind of has like a mind of its own. Okay, okay, okay. Especially one that's soiled. It's like bogged down. I think if he doesn't bring it up, and he's your boyfriend. It's not like a guy that you like. And now it's like, should I bring it up? How do we move forward? If he wants to discuss it, he can bring it to you. Yeah, it's on him. Otherwise, we can move forward.

1:02:07Also, I think like the type of man who's like ripping out tampons and like having period sex, like isn't that precious about it? Yeah, I think they're less precious about it than we are. That's like anything else. No, I actually think some men are very precious about it and some aren't. Like he was down. No, he was down. Yeah, he was down. To get dirty, literally. I think it's actually fine. It's just something that you would feel funny about. And if he doesn't bring it up, I would never. Yeah, funny enough. It's like worse for the person who slapped. Yeah. Not the person who got slapped. It's like a lot of things where it's just like more like personal to you.

1:02:41So, yeah, if he doesn't want to talk about it, I would not talk about it. Pretend like you forgot you were so drunk. And just like, let's hope he was so drunk. Yeah. Or like that happens all the time, you know. Does it? He doesn't know that. Oh, to him. Like, no, like, yeah, that's what happens when you have period sex. You get hit in the face of the tampon. Oh. You can't have period sex otherwise. Thank you. I actually wanted to speak directly to our audience because I was reading through submissions this morning. and a lot of them like write to us about like sex and this is like this is a fine example but a lot of it is like a little bit more um mechanical and like intimate and i just feel like this is the wrong show like we are sisters like there's only so much like we can talk about and like give advice on without like being icky like spend a lot of time at your house and like it's just it's like weird you know it gives this like don't look at me so i'm not saying no no you i feel like you misunderstood what i was saying i feel like we have to just convince this guy that that's what happens yes I'm talking I'm not talking about the submission anymore I was wanting to talk to the listeners because I read a lot okay this morning and sometimes they were like looking for like intimacy advice and it's like try girls gotta eat you know like try like that's just not the type of show we we run yeah we can do a lot here no and like there's so many benefits to doing a show with your sister like you know we're bound for life we have so many inside jokes like family memories to sort of tell on this I mean we can go on and we're never gonna split up yeah like there's so many benefits and there are like a couple like maybe two drawbacks and one of them is like we really can't talk about sex yeah and that has to be okay with you guys yeah and there's so many shows for that they're always like girls talking about sex on podcasts yeah yeah and just not this one yeah all right ready dear toasters i need help because i genuinely don't know if i'm being dramatic or if my life has turned into a psychological thriller i'm 27 i love how drama everyone is i'm 27 so drama and i've been casually dating a guy who's 29 for three months nothing official but we talk every day we see each other a couple times a week and he refers to me as his girl to his friends red flag already because he has multiple girls he can't keep your guy's name apart right anyway no it's just like i'm your girlfriend like people who are precious about saying girlfriend like grow the fuck up oh no i think like saying like that's my girl is cute okay he recently told me he was going out of town for work for a week cool no big deal fast forward two days later i'm scrolling instagram i see a girl that i very vaguely recognize from his tagged photos post a group pic at a bachelorette party in Miami.

1:04:55He's there in the background wearing a sash that says, Bride's Bestie. I spiral. Obviously, I don't say anything because I want more information. Later that night, he FaceTimes me from his hotel. I casually ask how the work trip is going. He says it's exhausting. It's mostly just been meetings. He's an absolute p-john besides this one thing. Please help. He's on a bachelorette party? And he's lying to you saying that it's, and she called him now knowing, and he said, how's the work trip? And he's like, it's great. Wait, why is he lying to you? And what does having that's my girl have to do anything with it?

1:05:20So she thought that was like a red flag about him already, and now she thinks he's gay. Because he was on The Bachelorette. As bride's bestie. Oh, that is gay. It's more likely that he is gay if he is the bride's bestie because like a girl getting married doesn't have a straight man best friend. No, you invite on The Bachelorette. You only invite a gay man on The Bachelorette. You don't invite a straight man on The Bachelorette. It's literally illegal. It's the antithesis of a bachelorette. Yeah, so obviously like the lying is a huge red flag but the fact that he feels - I didn't even think of that.

1:05:50Yeah, no, literally right. Was that the last thing she said? Is he gay? Has she realized this? Yeah. She said, is he gay? Yeah. Yeah. It's giving gay. I feel like a lot of times I have to like. Well, I'm so blinded by the deceit. Yeah. That I didn't see the big gay. And I think a lot of times I have to jump through hoops to get to the gay. But it seems like the gay is just surface level. Yeah. Or at least he's gay to her. Is there a world in which a straight man is a bride's best friend on a bachelorette party? No. No and certainly not the only straight man On the bachelorette party Unless it's his sister Brides bestie You would say it's his sister And if you don't know who his sister is And you guys are not dating And maybe he's your gay best friend Cousin You didn't even know Cousin Brides bestie And still your straight male cousin is not He's invited on the groom's party Get to know the groom Yeah no but the fact that he feels the need to lie about it That's like your brother's not invited on your bachelorette party Right right The fact that he needs to lie about it is giving closets yeah and what have the last three months been like they're seeing each other like they see each other a couple of times a week they talk every day he refers to me as his girl which she thought was a red flag of in a sexual nature you guys kiss oh maybe you just like misunderstood the situation um you need to just be straightforward but i also don't want to get forget about the deceit like he's lying to you this is so not your guy this is not your guy this is not your guy but i'm now curious when he comes home you sit him down across the table and say what were you doing on a bachelorette party like i need explanations but your bags are packed and not that you had bags there because you don't even sleep over there because you're just friends but if he was her gay best friend like why would he have lied the lying element makes it seem he doesn't want her to know that he has other best friends jealous no i'm sorry this is so off yeah also in this day and age like how do people really think that they can get away with lies like this what if he went on a work trip and this girl that he knows happens to be having her bachelorette party what if he went on a work trip and he goes like out for cocktails with a guy and then like at a bar they run into the girl that he knows and she's on her bachelorette party and it was a girl that he knew yeah and they like hysterically put a bride's bestie sash on him.

1:08:14It is entirely possible that he is on a work trip. Where was the trip? There are only a couple places that would be for a bachelorette party and a work trip. Miami could be both. They have like lots of conventions. What does he do? Nashville, Scottsdale. Yeah, Scottsdale. Not the Bahamas. He's not on a work trip in the Bahamas. If he's in Columbus, like we need to know. That's a work trip. That's a work trip. Yeah, but also like just ask. Like this is so crazy. No, you have to. Send in the screenshot. Be like, oh my God, I'm dying. How do you know Lydia or whatever? Be like, and also. Just ask why we have to lie.

We're always filling out amazing advice. And we encourage people to update us. Like, let us know what happened. Did you take our advice? Did you not? That's okay. Was he gay? Were we wrong?
