0:00Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Toast and happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a gorgeous, glorious day. And speaking of gorgeous and glorious, it's my gorgeous and glorious friend and sister in Christ, Jackie O. Thank you, Lotter. What a beautiful introduction. Happy Tuesday to all who celebrate the day of the twos. Are there those who don't? I feel like there are those who don't. Do you think there are people who live off the, like, who, because days of the week are kind of like a social construct, very much so. Are there people who don't adhere to the days of the week? days of the week for sure I mean there are people who like don't adhere to like a lot of random things you know so days of the week sure and just like there are other like calendars and other cultures like maybe today isn't Tuesday for everyone well actually think of that it's not in in Israel it's Yom Shlishi oh well they're also a day forward right and they only take off Sunday so yeah it's Yom Shlishi in in Israel so yeah I guess not everyone is dealing like with the exact time space continuum that we are currently dealing with but I feel to the major constituents who listen to this show who live in America and abide by the calendar yes yes they are just want to say you don't want to leave anyone out Claude so I've kind of put my foot in it this morning I don't know if I totally forgot to tell you this already yeah it's so early well I had to wake up early I had some content to film and I was just like getting a head start on my day and I was eating breakfast and then this thought came to me because I'm like getting really tired of these pregnant of bitches coming for my neck.

1:28And I just told, I like, I told them what they needed to hear. And actually you are in what would be like the injured party. Cause you have been pregnant with a toddler. Like, I'm just so tired of like, I'm making like, I'm obviously talking about my pregnancy. Cause like, that's what I'm dealing with. And people be like, I just imagine doing this with a toddler. It's like, we, we get it. We know, we know it's harder. No one is arguing with you. We feel bad for you. Like literally we would never want to be you. Like we got it. But like, it's so annoying to infringe on someone else's suffering.

1:52Like, because you are suffering more. We get it. So I made a TikTok this morning. so crazy and technically i'm uh in injury party but i would never say that to you let alone think that like no it's the suffering olympics it is but also like as you have children like your level of what you can withstand just like grows you just become like stronger inside and out and in some ways like doing it the first time is the hardest so i'm not with those people and i would never say that to you no it's just like no one's really even arguing the point it's definitely harder to have to like chase around a toddler and you can't just like rot in bed when you don't feel good like i get it but it's so fucking annoying to say and like i'm tired of these bitches and like it did cross my mind when i like first started feeling sick i'm like oh my god like this is probably like you know the only pregnancy that i'm gonna have without a child like oh my god so we all we feel bad like we get it we're not disagreeing with you but like it's annoying shut up so i made a tiktok about it today i didn't know they were coming for you that's really crazy it's just this thing that like pregnant in chronically the chronically online pregnant community like Like, it's every comment section.

2:55Just wait till you have a toddler running around. Just wait till you're chasing after a toddler. Like, I know. It sounds literally horrible. So. I guess I also, like, can't really speak to it because I was on bed rest. Yeah. Slay. Life act. Slay. Oh. Life act. And then I was thinking about you because I feel like when you got pregnant, was around the time, like, Harry wasn't, like, a toddler yet. He was not, like, walking, was he? No. He was not walking. Right. So that's, like, seriously not your problem. It's the problem of the person who's carrying him. And because you're pregnant, you can't physically carry him.

3:27That's the life hack. Get pregnant while your first is still crawling. Yeah, that's something. But then you always do have to carry them. But then at a certain point, they couldn't carry him. Right. So I just was starting stuff before TikTok gets banned. I want to make waves and start stuff. Oh, yeah. Countdown to TikTok. Do you hear the rumors that Elon might buy TikTok? But then I also read this morning. No, I didn't even hear that anywhere. Oh, I heard light whispers that like Elon's going to buy TikTok or thinking about it. And then I also saw that that is not true. So I don't know. Controls me.

4:01I don't know like if that's true whatsoever. I have now seen a couple like very wealthy people discuss it. Kevin O 'Leary, allegedly Elon Musk, Mr. Beast was talking about it. Like what if they all just work together? Yeah, I would like that. But the thing is, and I heard this at the Supreme Court hearing is like, even if somebody buys it the data center like something about like the actual technology of the company cannot be unlinked from bite which is the chinese-owned company and like therein lies the issue they like almost can't even sell it because it's i forget what the word is yeah i forget what part of the company it's like it's data centers it's something cannot be unwoven interesting so complicated so glad it's not my job to deal with such a global issue Yeah, I don't have answers for you.

4:49I mean, I do, like, get off TikTok, but I know that's not going to work for everyone. No, it's not. But yeah, glad that I don't have to sort out this mess. Yeah, because I have, like, a lot going on in my life. Granted, I don't have a toddler, but I have a lot. What's with you? Not too much. Busy morning so far this morning. We are out and about early, so I'm just sort of sat now with my girl. Nothing better. Ready for some adult convo. Oh, are we going to be talking about pornography? No, but actually I went to an event last night. I told you, you tried to call me. Oh my God, I call Jackie like I always do and she's like, can't talk at an event.

5:24Excuse me? What event were you at? PTA meeting? No, I was at an event. It was really like a women's event. Oh, women in tech? And the theme, and maybe I could bring some of my learnings to the toast today because it was all about manifesting. Oh my God. In earnest, in like a very spiritual way about like manifesting the things that you want in your life. And I'm not a big manifester. I think anyone who listens to the show would know that about me. I'm kind of like the opposite. So I was really trying to be open-minded and understand what manifesting, not online, but in its origins actually means.

6:02Now, before you get into what you learned, I need to know more about the context. Like you need to give me more information on the details of this class. Was it a class? So, I guess you could call it, it wasn't a class. Was it a Torah class? It was like at a restaurant. No, it wasn't a Torah class, but it was, it's, I think the women who run are like very into Kabbalah. So it was spiritual. Kabbalah, okay, okay. And like God was in the room, you know? Because they were like the universe slash God, whatever you believe. But like these are women. Of faith, correct. Yeah, yeah. So it wasn't like an agnostic event.

6:33I can't believe like you are saying these words. I know, I know. But a friend of mine, you actually, whom you know, I'm not going to start like dropping names, but a friend of mine from this summer, she was coming in for this event. So she was like, come. And then Olivia was like, oh, I'm going to that. I didn't think you would want to go. Olivia was going. Olivia was already going. She's so I was. She is less universe manifest spirit than you. She kind of is, though. She's kind of is. No, I could. But anyway, I could see her thinking it's like so stupid. No, no, no. She no, she's not. And she's been to like this event before.

7:08so she was going and then my friend was going so I was like okay of course I'll go and it's all it was all about manifesting so I really was just trying to learn because I I think of manifesting as like influencers like printing out pictures on Pinterest and like putting it on their vision board and calling it a day yeah but the original intention for manifesting it's it's much more than that it's a lot about like positive affirmation affirmations and like self-talk and like there's a lot of steps towards manifesting all in which are you joining the 12-step program it was like five or six steps and it's like yeah if you could do all those steps like you would be like a totally mentally healthy person and probably yeah but if i could do all those steps i wouldn't be at this class like the steps are like not as easy as just steps you know well it was very interesting and i'm thinking i really am thinking and also there was also like a bit of meditation because when you are manifesting and you're going into your soul you're trying to think about like the things that you truly desire.

8:03So it's a very relaxing exercise, actually. As like. What do you truly desire? Well, I'm not going to share that with everyone. Oh, really? It's very personal. Oh, OK. Yeah, they brought out like these big like poster boards. I'm like, we're not about to write down like our heart's desires, are we? Oh, I guess yet is like personal. I gave mine away. I was like, I'll write in my notebook. Did you BYO? The thing is, they gave notebooks to everyone. So it's so my kind of place. So it was like worth it. It was worth it for the free notebook. um so it's nice to think about as we go into the new year like what you want to manifest yourself in the first three months six months 12 months and the 12 month goal should be something that seems so far-fetched you know but like the three and six months are the steps to get there wow i'm just i'm in shock honestly this conversation and like this new line of thinking that does feel like a betrayal no i'm not saying this like it's it's nice to think differently for an evening you know sure get in touch with your true self sure you should try it turdy i once i agree and understand i don't think this is like specifics like spirituality that like you get out what you put in right so if you like walk through the world with a fibis and a punim and a terrible energy and attitude like that's what you're going to receive yeah and if you're like a joyful positive person and you put out positive things and laughter and light that will come back to you You get out what you put in.

9:26So I don't know if that's like a revolutionary like philosophy, but I agree with it, yes. Yeah, that's part of it. Yeah. You know, putting out the good vibes, which is always a good lesson. Yeah. Okay, wow. Took a turn this morning. Well, that's what I was up to. What can I say? Except. Manifest destiny. Oh, man, me and Ben watched the funniest episode of Curb last night. Like, we just like are on a curb kick. It's like the one thing we can agree on just to play in the background. And they charter a plane to go to a wedding, and the pilot needs everybody's weights, and nobody will give it. Yeah.

10:02And so they have to, like, land. They have to make an emergency landing and drop off their suitcases because the plane is too heavy, whatever. It was so fucking funny. They go to this carnival, and I guess it's like this, you know, it's like this Mexican carnival, and there's a guy there who can guess anybody's weight. So Larry, like, brings all the people over. Oh, right. I've seen this episode. We talked about this episode before. It's seriously peak comedy. Yeah, when it aired, we were not okay. Oh my God, it's seriously so funny. Yeah. I was cracking up. Oh my God, that's, okay, nevermind.

10:28I actually, maybe I'm having a little taste of you. I mean, that is like, that's so real. If you're ever in a situation where you have to ask like your friends for their weight. I mean. It's not like, even when we're renting skis, like you need to ask everyone. They're like, oh, I'll fill it out myself. Yeah, when Ben and I were first dating, we were in Puerto Rico and we went parasailing. And the guy on the back of the boat was like, I just need like your rough weights. And Ben was like, oh, I can like go in like the other part of the boat or whatever. And I'm like, no, it's fine. 120. And the guy was like - The sail goes down.

10:58The guy was like, he gave me eyes. He was like, I'm gonna give you another chance to - Did you really try and lie? Of course. I said - No, but then you're like, that's so risky. I said 125. And then he was like, and I gave him a look and I was like, just, you know, do your worst. Like overestimate, I don't give a fuck. Then also, I'm always doing it in dangerous situations. And if somebody's asking you for your weight in that sense, Like it's usually for your safety. Like when I was on this, me and Brian were in the British Virgin Islands and we were like island hopping and you take these tiny fucking planes.

11:29You needed my weight. And like, I honestly hadn't weighed myself in months. So I just, I honestly, I didn't even know. Your guess is as good as mine. But round up. Nah. Round up. Cause like seriously, they need enough fuel. What you want to be going down right before you hit land. So I did tell Brian like right before we took off that I lied about my weight. And he was like, I'm literally a father. Like, yeah. If I were traveling with you, I would go over on my weight just to make up for your lie. Wow. Well, I just feel like I'm not going to be traveling anymore if that's just the state of travel.

12:02I agree. I feel like we've reported on stories where even commercial airlines are starting to consider accounting for people's weight when purchasing a ticket. Yeah. It's definitely a tough line to walk. I just feel like I can't get hurt if anybody, like no one's going to be asking about my weight if I never leave my house, you know? Yes. It's just, you know, they're always asking like for the right reasons, but there's just never a right reason, you know? Yeah, of course. And like, they don't do it in the most discreet way. Now I know it's like a part of this parasailor's job, but he should have pulled me to the side.

12:37But don't you think if he pulled you to the side, he'd be like, oh, why'd you think I'd be embarrassed? Well, because I'm fat. Like I'm not stupid or blind. I know I'm fat. I was fat at the time, like extremely. There's no right way to go about it. and the funny part of the curb episode actually you could give everyone a little slip of paper and they could write it down right that's the way that was the funny the thing with the curb episode was that larry needed to collect them to give to the pilot and like they weren't comfortable giving it to larry let alone the pilot and it was it was the men too it was so fucking funny and so real i just loved it i know it's such a good episode it really is it's like season 10 9 or 10 um we have a great episode today we have stories jessica simpson is single and that's kind of huge news for for a select few and those that includes us we also have dear toasters number four for the year of couples yes by the way page and craig was technically december but i wonder maybe this is starting a new batch of three it also feels like people just drop big news in the new year yeah or maybe people like kind of give themselves till the end of the year and it's like if we can't work it out like we're gonna start the new year on a new foot part of it is just like high time for breakups right now i wonder like also the fires like maybe that's like a way of burying because I literally forgot about Jessica Alba.

13:45So much has happened since I - Oh, I mean, we were always going to forget about Jessica Alba. She is forgettable. Like, I didn't forget about Paige and Craig. No. It's just about - No, of course not. I can never, and I will never. Did you see that Paige was at a football game with another male? However, I didn't see, like, anything untoward. No, not untoward, but I, like, saw her sitting with a guy at a game in a city that, like, she has no connection to. Like, why would she be at an Eagles game? Because her man's there, like - because her man's yeah i don't know i'm not jumping to conclusions but like the odds that he's not straight are kind of slim because they're at a football game like oh you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel yeah i know he's he ain't gay yeah he was wearing like he's just not gay he's not gay i didn't get a good look because my video was far away what did you see my video was far away too but then i like saw a photo of the man and i got like a resume oh the name oh i didn't get that oh yeah he works he works in sports like he's he ain't gay so so it was not that gay people can't work in sports but i'm just telling you guys he's not gay so you think it's a date for sure like why the hell else would she be there oh my god okay i was trying to think i'm like just people in albany root for the eagles like no i was like really trying to make it make sense i'm like no they're i'm in denial yeah who were they playing i don't know oh i do know i don't know i think they were playing the green bay packers because they were both wearing green and harry said are those the green cowboys and i was like how is that going to answer this they're both green but then he said the packers were wearing yellow that's what i overheard from the kitchen when you're thinking of like ways to explain things to your son do you think like you're getting close to the point to explaining to harry that cowboys don't equal football players they're just a specific team because harry will see someone playing in the park football and they'll say cowboys uh yeah but right now this is like it works this way blue cowboys red cowboys cool you know like we're all on the same page 1000 yeah but soon i'll i'll start going through the teams where do you even begin there are that and by the way not my job harry by the way not my job harry's gonna be on a podcast in 20 years like when i was a kid i thought that all football players we're called cowboys like we're always talking about things we thought when we were kids and like that's literally you're experiencing that with your son it's really cute to see it from the other side it's very logical 100 how we came to that conclusion um so we also have dear toasters because it's tuesday so also say it was they were playing the packers so maybe she has like a pack even though she was wearing the eagles garb maybe there was a packer connection Listen, I'm down to clown with you.

years of marriage they called it a painful situation so jessica simpson told people magazine in a statement today on monday that eric and i have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage our children come first and we are focusing on what is best for them we are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family this is devastating like one because i hate when like internet like hawk eagle-eyed internet users are right like there have been a lot of rumors about them for a while her ring and she was out without him but all of it could be explained away and now it's like well they were right yeah I just feel like you can't really judge Jessica Simpson based on her social media or like what she's doing without she's not playing that game no there's just like she's so layered whatever she winds up like posting social media it's just like one picture so if her husband hasn't been there in a while like doesn't necessarily mean anything but there have been rumors about this but I also feel like rumors have plagued them throughout their entire marriage so at a certain point it's like listen yeah shut up we'll like when they say what they say now if you read her book which you absolutely should because it's the most you absolutely amazing it's the most amazing book of all time it's really sad because they were really have been through so much together and I think that like only recently not like only maybe I would say in the last five or ten years has she sort of been rebirthed like she had went through this really tough struggle with alcohol addiction and he was there you know thick or thin supporting her like kind of picking up where she was putting down when it came to like the family and the kids and and she wrote about him with such respect and such gratitude that it makes me really sad that like now that things seem to be going much better for her they didn't make it yeah it does make me sad because he seemed like a good guy charming happily ever after you know you kind of write them off and don't worry about them right so when someone comes out of retirement like that you hate to see it they have a big family yeah she seems really happy and then they say a painful situation so this isn't the usual you know schedules privacy just didn't make it love them yeah and of course person it begs the question of what we were talking about last week in regards to jessica alba this is another woman who makes significantly more money than her husband he's like a former football player he didn't really like achieve greatness in that um but where I feel like I think I know them a little bit better than I knew Jessica Alba and her husband because I read her book and he was an extremely involved parent um Eric is that his name I literally don't even know his name um like super super dad almost so I feel like he will get a large settlement because she owns a billion dollar company and I actually this is a rare scenario where I am okay with it like I think he earned his living do you know what I mean but I also think that because of what happened with Nick Lachey she probably has a pretty strong prenup and isn't gonna have to give half just like she did not have a share but a prenup is is helpful but in a marriage where you were together for so many years you built a huge part of your business during that time and you have three children together like the court it's illegal for you to walk away like child support right and alimony but and probably a settlement automatically get half no no no he's not gonna get half but he'll i think she'll give him like a big chunk unless like it ended really poorly like i feel like maybe if kelly clarkson marriage had ended like in a more amicable way um she would have been okay giving him a big settlement and then monthly payments for the kids and whatever but she had so much resentment because he was such a shit that he didn't deserve it i feel like i need to know what happened between these two pain where yeah there's the pain who caused the pain was it an accidental pain or an intent was it an affair on this pain chart show me how bad it is one to five on this pain chart i'm sorry that's just like a crazy vague term but also pretty specific considering they could have not included that and just been like unless they're saying it's painful because the marriage is ending is that where the is that the cause of the pain or was there a different pain that caused the end eric and i have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage so there was a situation oh yeah that led to the end of the marriage that wording is is intentional something happened now i feel like you know i always try to look at both sides when there's a devastating breakup and get excited about like the girl going out and like maybe reconnecting with john mayer but to be honest like i don't have that sort of feeling i feel like what i took away from her book was that like not only does she require but she really thrives in like stable environments and I think he was really that for her and I think maybe the marriage would have ended a little while ago if she didn't really cling to that sort of stability um so I don't want to see her like that's not I think what's even best for her like out and about you know dating around Hollywood like I liked that she had this guy who was like kind of a nobody like yeah he played football like tell me what team I'll give someone a million dollars if they know what team he played for like it was just this kind of good situation they had random but good yes but Jessica Simpson like is a lover and she actually probably will have a new relationship because she's a relationship girl there are so many people in her book who she had like real relationships with not just like and I don't think she's like a fling person but I think she likes being in a relationship so as when the dust settles from this I think she will want that again because I think she likes that partnership well maybe her neighbor slash mom friend Kim Kardashian could set her up with someone she runs in a very very cool powerful circle she lives in that neighborhood her kids play soccer with the west's and the kardashians like she is ripe for for a good setup i guess like if kim could set someone if she had all these bachelors like one for himself two for chloe like let's get it popping well chloe had said that she doesn't want to date until the kids are grown i know but the heart wants what the heart fight fate right if she Like the right man walked up to her.

27:23But I also feel like the men that Kim knows, like obviously don't work for Kim and therefore they wouldn't work for Khloe. But Jessica's totally different, you know? Yeah, Jessica is totally different. And she's kind of this like free spirit. Even though she likes athletes too. Yeah, but it's different. He wasn't like an athlete, you know what I mean? But Tony Romo? Well, he's so happily married. And I would never, ever, ever wish ill on him and his family. They have a beautiful life together. They're a Texas royalty. No, I'm just saying just that she likes athletes. Tony Romo, Eric. No, but I was just going to say, like, having said that, I shit.

27:56What about John Mayer? Well, you know, I've recently gotten over, in a very public way, my crush on John Mayer for many years. Like, it was him. He was the end all. And I felt really good about the fact that, like, Ben didn't, like, not look like John Mayer, you know? They're not twins. And I've recently just started to find him, like, unattractive. Not even, like, in a physical sense. like yes you know he's not aging in the way that I had hoped but you know what I mean like overall like his vibes like some of the things like a little it gives me the ick a little bit like I'm just over him um so maybe at one point like these two reuniting would have been the best thing to ever happen to me but not only does he give me the ick I also don't think like now I'm suspicious of like men who all he says he wants to get married he wants to be in a relationship I'm relationship guy you're literally almost 50 you could be married a hundred times if you wanted like you never even in his lyrics he talks about like how he wants to have kids it's like well you don't yeah like a woman can want to have kids and not like it cannot happen for her but if a man wants to have kids like he can have kids it's not a choice I mean I'm sorry yeah it is a choice it's just easier for them it's like the minute they decide so he's like you're not serious and it's like well you're almost 50 now we're still doing this like grow up speaking of John Mayer Sabrina Carpenter did you see Harry Jowsey was on Kristen Cavallari's podcast and he said that he dm's sabrina and wants to go out with her and claudia the way i ship and i think it's first of all i think compatibility wise they would really like they're both really funny looks wise they're a total match they're a total match i think that they would really work out and then also celebrity wise i think that would be a really good match for her like someone in the spotlight but not totally what she does and would totally look up to her and treat her like the queen that she is like i need this to happen yeah i mean check your dm he got dragged people were like you think the biggest pop star you're literally from too hot to handle like I do think and I agree like on the surface you're like what but the more you really think about it and really what she needs also you have to think about the fact that like she's very comfortable in her sexuality and she's kind of like freaky for sure you know and like nobody is more open about their freakiness than what's his name Harry Jousey I agree at first I was like wait and then I saw a picture a side by side of them together I'm like they almost look like cousins you know I'm like oh it's perfect not that like cousins should fuck but like they have the same sort of like aura they have the same aura and i just i really wholeheartedly endorse that yeah and even my girl just like mr right now not mr right like i don't think they're gonna get married but i think that would be really fun for sabrina yeah and like it would be nice like be with somebody who's like actually handsome and tall do you know what i mean like it would just change it up for sabrina yeah something new something new it could be the start of something new feels so right to be here with harry jowsey oh i like harry jowsey those clips were cracking me up i like harry jowsey too actually i think it's really impressive what he's done with his like modicum of fame yeah so as like Sabrina's number one fan.

31:04The Carpenters? Indoor. Carpentators, yeah. Our next story, another celebrity is postponing a big announcement. Beyonce has pumped the brakes on her big reveal as LA is on fire. So Beyonce was set to announce something huge today, and she's put it on ice as the wildfires continue to cut a destructive path across Los Angeles. She issued a statement on Monday night saying the January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles. Yeah, so it's weird to postpone, to announce a postponement of an announcement.

31:43To announce an announcement and then announce the postponement of the announcement. Of said announcement. Having said that, she was in a bad spot. She couldn't go radio silent because everybody's like, Beyonce, what's up? And it's sort of tacky to make, even though I do think now she could make it without it being like create like out of touch like I think that enough time has passed where it's like obviously the devastation is still ongoing but like it's more under control and I just don't think it would have been like the worst thing if she had done it I don't think it's tasteless or tacky for people to announce things right now however I think it's not the best business efficient yeah because you're not going to be able to promote it as much as you want and it's going to get lost in the news cycle and so it's better to just postpone so you can have the moment that you want.

32:29But it does beg the question, like what's the announcement that she's announcing? I know. It's postponed. Because I don't think it's an album. I think it's a tour. Yeah. Cowboy Carter tour. Which sounds so fun, honestly. Yeah, probably. And maybe she was like wanting that momentum from the halftime show. Yeah. But now she's postponing the announcement. Yeah. But I am feeling like tour. Although I feel like when there's like a big stadium tour coming out, like people it always gets leaked oh really yeah because people like work at the stadiums get like an email about you know the upcoming tour schedule and it like i feel like it always gets leaked oh well then maybe not but what else could it be i don't know it's an album no yeah has her hair care line like i don't think it's a line of goods retirement perchance that would be crazy if beyonce was just like i'm retiring no i don't think so i don't think you have to set a date to announce that not only that like she's a businesswoman and you don't go out while you're on top like there's more money to be made so when did she postpone it till I'm not sure and I mean there's no way to know and honestly I feel like if she were to set another date write what down I'm gonna write it down it's just things to follow up on yeah yeah things to circle back on I'm loving having a pen and paper let me tell you and I also of course need to circle back with keeping up with sports yeah that's sort of the inspiration behind the list it should be called the keeping up list they should announce the premiere of their podcast on the toast agreed keeping up with sports so this is just my follow-up list yeah whatever happened to blank yeah i like that whatever happened to megan's podcast with lemonada and it's a list lemonada podcast lemonada x megan that's weird what's it happen to that it's happening but not before netflix did you see miss rachel is now like on netflix i did i know you're over her i'm over her too yeah no i i'm not into her um but i just want to say i've clowned on her for like being a communist with like like her inability she put her businesswoman pants on yeah to her inability to like franchise and like make money um and no she got a taste should have been on netflix for a while yeah she got a taste of the luxury life I think she's like also announced like she has toys I think she's got a book like yeah she always had like like good revenue streams but at the level that she like influences young minds like if that were me I actually would be retired and I would be a multi multi-billionaire many times over and so I just always thought like she was kind of lacking that entrepreneurial spirit and now I feel like you're right she got a taste of the high life and she wants more it's true she's got a big a big appetite 100 % um so I guess we'll wait to see what Beyonce's announcement was going to be very exciting and very vague very vague yeah you're probably right about a tour I think that makes sense yeah are you ready for our next story a little music news as Carrie Underwood will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration so the inauguration committee has announced inauguration inauguration committee has announced some performers, speakers, etc.

35:41And the most recognizable name is Carrie Underwood will be singing America the Beautiful. She said, I love our country and I'm honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration. And to be a small part of this historic event, I'm humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future. Now, I think a lot of people were really shocked by this. Like, probably one of the first, like, truly mainstream, popular, actually, no, like, Jason Aldean, but like, it's very rare for a celebrity like a an elite to get involved with trump and so a lot of people really shocked by it even though i feel like if you've been paying attention to carrie underwood over the last couple of years like there's no way like she would have not been conservative like she makes her own yogurt like she's so like do you know what i mean she's so like granola like for sure um she's getting a lot of backlash but I will say it did I spawn for me now people are like reminding like all these old clips I've watched like a million compilation videos like eight celebrities you didn't know performed at previous inaugurations from the last like two or three presidents um and I was actually really shocked to find that Miss Kelly Clarkson gave one of the worst performances I've ever seen I forget I think it was Obama's first and she's saying like one of the you know god bless america not the not the anthem but like one of the follow up songs it was so bad and i've actually never heard kelly sing poorly i highly encourage you guys to just like look it up on youtube you won't be shocked she might have like started in the wrong key something happened like something went wrong and we know kelly can sing it's not i would love to know what happened like it was so bad that is so crazy i did not know that but yeah usually like the last inauguration j-lo performed gaga so beyonce famously beyonce famously and actually but my little research trip taught me is actually hillary duff was at george bush's inauguration a lot of people don't know that she was there but did she sing she didn't sing she was just there

37:47yeah so it's like i feel like it's like a big deal now but it almost just becomes like a part of history because we don't talk about you know hillary duff at bush or kelly clarkson at biden or uh was it biden or i think it was obama um like we don't talk about it just sort of becomes like a part of american history so now in the moment it's like there's backlash or we're all talking about it but i don't know i just feel like it becomes like cemented in history and we all just move on from it yeah and i think for some artists i think some artists like are very political and would never like cross a line or perform for someone but i think for other people like it's really an honor it is a it is a huge honor to perform at inauguration for the entire country like and to see it as a unifying experience like I I think that is a nice thing and also for the people watching I want a good I want some good performers I want some beautiful renditions of our beautiful country's beautiful songs also and I think Jelly Roll was just talking about this because he was at a UFC fight and he met Trump and you know some of his followers were like I I can't believe you like me.

38:47And his response was like, are you guys kidding me? Like, I'm like, I was in jail. I got to meet a president. Like, I don't give a fuck which one it is. Like, it's such an honor to meet any president. I've never met a president, have you? No. No. Like, it's such an honor. I don't know why I had to think about that. Like, yes, you could look at everything so politically. But for me, like, I grew up so poor. I literally went to jail. Like, I'm now here, like, in rooms with presidents. Like, yeah, I'm going to say hi and be respectful. I don't give a shit who the president is. So I think a lot of people come to it with that POV.

39:14like just being asked some people are inherently um political and they're not willing to get involved on a side that doesn't on certain side yeah like they would only do one side right which i think there are people that would do both sides either side and then there are some people who are just thirsty and it's like yeah millions of people are watching like it's like singing at the super bulls aren't gonna pay themselves exactly yeah so i look forward to seeing what she does with it i I just watched her perform on New Year's Rockin' Eve because now she's like really back out there. She's an American Idol judge.

39:46So she did ABC's New Year's and she's giving it her all. Yeah, she definitely, like she never took time off because she's always been touring. If you've been following Carrie, like there's new music, there's new albums, there's new tours. But I think from like real public life, she's actually very private and she doesn't like show up and do a lot of stuff. She has like a private family life too. Also, you know, there's like a lot of rumors about her and her family is all like, you know. Yeah. but it's she seems well she does seem well and she was good on rock and eve yeah not my favorite song choices though would be my criticism as a big carrie fan i saw her perform somewhere was a coach coach maybe something like that and she wasn't like a headliner i was like particularly like looking i was like i want luke combs and morgan wallen but she was fucking amazing no i seriously love her and um and have you seen her size it's like actually the craziest thing her concert dvd is coming out on hulu soon remember that was a story right it's she's like very much in the news right now she's doing a lot maybe she got bills to pay or something yeah no she wants to promote her concert dvd so this is a really good platform the thing you're looking for it's like a concert movie it's no longer called a concert dvd grandma no but claudia like it's a concert dvd i know what are we calling it like tailored reputation it's like a era's tour movie like concert streaming on streamers yeah we need to we need to come up with official replacement for concert dvd i guess it's a concert movie but sometimes they make it like documentaries sean mendez wonder like this is different right right oh my god do not i won't get started on my no no no sorry not that's not what i'm saying do not make it a documentary as well i know if i'm turning on your concert dvd it's because i want the bangers oh my god i forgot to tell you the most interesting page i end up i ended up on okay page you're like someone's page okay you know me i like i interact a lot on social media with katie perry like i am a fan of hers begrudgingly yeah so i ended up on katie perry china which is like a twitter account just dedicated to like katie perry updates there's a million of them like you wouldn't think anything of it right like It's like a fan account that shows paparazzi pictures.

42:03But the person who runs Katy Perry China fucking hates Katy Perry. I saw some of the nastiest tweets about Katy Perry on a fan account of hers. So Katy Perry was seen leaving CVS with Orlando Bloom and Daisy. And you want to bring them those nasty fucking tweets here. I do. I do. Because it was seriously so crazy. Okay. So Katy Perry was seen leaving like a CVS with Orlando and the baby Daisy. and Daisy, like, starts to have, like, a tantrum, like, leaving the CVS, and she, like, won't get in the car.

I mean, that's just people, right? Jackie, it was so funny. Her evil parents. Was it her evil mother who didn't buy her a toy? Like seriously crazy, the internet. Says, oh, there's a new TikTok account that you would love. Oh, send it to me. What is it? It's called like Daily Mail History or something. So they like write headlines and things like as if what was happening in like the 1500s was happening right now. Because I saw it and I was like, I thought it was a real Daily Mail headline.

43:58it's like breaking Catholicism to become um banned by the king of the church of England I was like wait what and it was like from the 1700s like Henry VIII or whatever you would love it it's like it's far it's money and it's money and fart smart and funny that's funny Stassi was trying to get me on TikTok by like teasing these like good historical accounts she was like there's stuff for you um there is stuff for you let me tell you what the account is called she's given up maybe maybe they're on reels it's called history mail history mail that is a history mail okay the greeks have gifted the trojans a wooded horse pieces close inside reports state no it's such a funny concept scientists invent what they call a wheel which is said to change the world experts say it's too complicated for widespread use oh that is so funny small city filled with mainly criminals named rome is trying to expand its territory experts say it won't get far that is funny i shall follow oh are they on reels they are on reels and hopefully you know it's history mail who do they okay well thanks for that detour are you ready for our next story yeah our next story is some bad news because britney and patrick mahomes have welcomed baby number three a girl so britney and patrick mahomes shared that their daughter was born her name is golden ray mahomes and i just can't wait for taylor swift to invite her to get up to get the 22 hat and say and it's golden golden um cute like celebrities like often do crazy things and so the mahomes is i didn't know this but apparently like they have like a metal theme within their family their kids are named steel their dogs are named like the daughter is sterling sky so sterling which is by the way sterling itself is a fine like normal name and then the son is his first name is patrick but they call him bronze okay well he has a real name so because oh i'm sorry because he's patrick mahomes the third bronze oh that's cute love like that and And then Golden.

46:14So yeah, while the theme is like kind of crazy celebrity, whatever, each name individually isn't that crazy. No, not at all. I would say Golden is probably like the least conventional in terms of like, I don't know if I would say Golden is like a name. But it's pretty. And it's not crazy. No, it's not. That's very nice.

Our fifth and final story is a little memoir news. Who's writing one? memoirs of a brookie Brooke Shields is uh memoirs have come out she's been in the news a lot of headlines about excerpts from her book her book is called are you ready for it shield me forever something like that no it's literally so bad oh it's so long Brooke Shields is not allowed to get old thoughts on aging as a woman what that's the name of the book that's the name of a ted talk it's not even it's like it's on a it's a sentence no it's the name of a college paper oh my god they're getting worse and worse honestly me and ben been watching so much barefoot contessa because he's like seriously obsessed line and he's like literally sits and writes notes do you tell him to get ready when the luck hits yeah and then he was showing me something he was like that's the name of her book i'm like yeah well here's what brooke shields is sharing she's actually a lot of like headlines have come out about stuff that she's sharing on her press store and things from her book but she said that tom cruise actually privately expressed remorse over his ridiculous rant about her use of antidepressants she revealed in her memoir oh wow published today and she said that the actor eventually said sorry to her she said it wasn't the world's best apology but it's what he was capable of and i accepted it that was a big part so it's interesting because she had a documentary that i feel like really shook everyone it's a lot of celebrities do documentaries but hers like really made conversations made waves and and I think it ushered in this new era of like Brooke Shields appreciation and and this took a hard look at like how Hollywood is really fucking obsessed with young girls in a really disgusting way and she she bared the brunt of a lot of it at the time um so I feel like she got a lot of it out in the documentary and I'm sure the success of the documentary made it easier for her to like sell a book but I wonder what's in the book that wasn't in the documentary I don't know maybe it seems to be also a focus on aging as a woman so like with not so much like a life story as as it is like a woman's story right I mean and the documentary was actually a lot about her mother yeah who was like you know so I think this is more about her and where she's at in her life and so she talks about the um beef with Tom Cruise from back in the day and how he eventually apologized in his way but that was the craziest part of the documentary because she was like one of the first women to ever publicly speak about postpartum depression and she had it like really bad like she had to i think like get treatment for it like outpatient it was really really bad and she was like nobody's talking about this and i think she spoke about it on oprah or something and people like fucking came for her tom cruise tom cruise one thing about him like at least he's consistent he is seriously the biggest loser on the planet i'm sorry like they try to make me like him with Top Gun and like his movie star like I get it like Jerry Maguire but he is a fucking loser and he always has been I'm sorry I hate him yeah we're back there yeah we're back all of the Olympics all the progress yeah every time one step forward three steps backwards like I just I actually can't there are some people I think I can like willfully like ignore and just like be blind to their flaws like Tom Cruise is so problematic I'm sorry hate yeah well I actually I think that this book is a good book like I would trust her to write a memoir I feel like every time she's like speaking or giving an interview she just has a lot of say a lot to say she has a lot of wisdom and she's been in the industry for so long so even though the title is like not my favorite title um I think this is will be a good book so not only let us know is the title not my favorite title it's probably one of my least favorite titles it's up there with when the luck starts or whatever it's what's it called be ready when the luck hits it's frustrating when celebrities have bad names for their memoirs but it's especially frustrating when like the public can easily think of like five that are so good barefoot confessor barefoot it should have been called barefoot confessions like that's just it like obviously i would have liked barefoot confessor but okay confessions like when there's such an obvious choice and you decide to not only not choose it but go with the worst one ever that's especially frustrating yeah and what was josh gad's i remember we just were talking about it and it was good i think it was like are you there gad it's me something like that josh gad memoir is called in god we trust funny funny love so but he's a funny man like not everyone wants to be funny people want to they don't have to be funny barefoot confessions is not funny so the way that they did her title on the cover is better than in spoken word because it says brooke shields at the top as if she's the author and then is not allowed to get old okay it's really long thoughts on aging as a woman um let's do dear toasters our weekly advice segment where every Tuesday Jackie and I will read three submissions from the Swirlies in need now if you're a Swirly and you find yourself in need and you want to reach out to us you can head over to our website the toast podcast.com or you can head

been in a fantasy football league for 15 years and until this year he's never even come close to winning last weekend he was beyond stressed and just awful snapping at me and just being a big weenie in the end he lost I had already gone to bed but I could hear him storming around I even heard him crying when he came into the bedroom I got the biggest ick since I was pretending to be asleep when all this happened how do I address it with him sincerely wife of a big football crying weenie oh my gosh I feel like you have to let it go like you don't address it it just needs to be something like you yourself and you know like you never saw it or heard it I like really hope that he wins one day but I just I don't think there's anything to say unless he brings it up because it's affecting him so much but maybe you just need to let it out and today's a new day it's really tough when like you see someone doing something that they're like they were doing in private and like you can't judge people for what they did in private when they thought nobody was watching now that person being your partner makes it even more awkward because you're supposed to not have secrets um but yeah I agree with Jackie I don't think you can address this like you just need to know like your man is crazy and this is really important to him and let him like cry better luck next year

56:37yeah I think it's crying well you know how much money is on it but my initial thought was like oh your man has a gambling problem because like seriously crying is really crazy um and like maybe he maybe it's a pretty big pot and he needed the money maybe he's in debt and he's like not sharing that with you so I could see more sinister and more nefarious things going on here now I feel like I'm always saying like your husband's a gambling addict your husband's gay so I was refraining but I do think like if you wanted to look further into this you might find something more sinister because this is not normal this is not normal behavior or maybe like he he's not in debt but he was looking forward to getting that money and like doing something really exciting for himself or maybe like taking you on a trip and he's crying thinking about like you guys on the beach like to be clear he was not crying thinking about you guys on the beach like maybe he was crying because like he had his eyes on a rolex and now he can't get it like maybe something like that yeah but um i think it's important to be like you know realistic here he was not planning a beachfront vacation for you guys i just feel like if you want since you can't speak to him about it if you want to like make yourself feel better just think about the fact that he was going to buy you a Birkin and he's crying because he can't.

57:45I've cried too. If you can't let this go, while I don't think talking to him about it is going to solve anything, do a little digging into the financials. You might find something. Just make sure that we're in the green. Because it is sort of crazy behavior. I know men get really into sports, but to lose a fantasy league, especially when you lose all the time, to get close and then lose, it's even harder. But crying is actually lunacy. And it actually is really crazy. I think he had big plans and big dreams. For a big trip. For a big trip and he was going to renew your vows. Yeah, and that's why he's crying.

58:22Okay, ready? Hey, Jackson Claude. I'm in desperate need of your advice. My boyfriend, 6 '3", buff, works in finance. He's a P.A. job. Our relationship is fantastic. But every time we visit his parents, I really start to cringe at him. He's 29 years old and he still, in all seriousness, calls his parents mommy and daddy. He'll say something like, mommy, can you make me a sandwich? Or daddy, can you pass the salt? I'm sitting there wondering if I should start packing my bags or just quietly slip out the back door. I haven't said anything because I don't know if I need to get over myself or if this is grounds for a conversation.

58:51Please help. Now, I have to come to the table and say something. Your husband does this. My husband picks up the phone. Hi, mommy. Hi, daddy. I never thought until this moment that it was weird. He has, I think, like a very normal, healthy relationship with his parents. They're really close, but I don't think it borders on, like, weird. um now you got me like obviously like rethinking things like I think it's maybe like I don't I mean Ben's 6-1 I don't know I don't know I've never thought it was weird so I want to say this might be a you thing what I was gonna say is like even if it feels weird when you hear it and you don't like it like this is not a deal breaker and it's also not something that I think that you could say to him like after 29 years you need to start calling his parents something else so I think that it's something that you just have to like learn to ignore and when you hear it like in one ear out the other because why ruin a good thing this is not a deal breaker no and i'm sorry if you're willing to give up a p-job man who works in finance and is six what did you say six three six three like who the fuck do you think you are like we're just giving up perfectly good men because they called their moms mommy no it's that's what i say when like it culture has gone way too far yep that we're actually considering like giving up a good relationship because of the three times a year he sees his parents like he says something that like puts you off yeah no you actually need to get a grip like this is one of the situations where I want to shake the toaster in question and be like he's a good man Savannah like what are you doing and also maybe like you could like run interception like you make the sandwich before he could ask his mom like you get the salt like so that he does not need to address his parents at all now that's unreasonable like a person is going to live in a house for a couple of days and have to address the person's house that they're staying at now and I don't think you should but if you did want to like try and get him to stop saying it you could like tease him being like mommy like what are you six and like maybe he doesn't even realize it and then slowly he'll start but I think like you'll just come off like naggy and bitchy for no reason he's gonna write to his podcast like I call my mom mommy and daddy something that's dear good guys it's really something that's really special to me and my whole family does it and it really like bonds us and my girlfriend is making fun of me and then ben the host who also calls his mom mommy and daddy is going to tell that you to break up with that girl because like she doesn't understand good men like you and then you're going to lose your perfectly good boyfriend so stop it just ignore it ignore um okay are you ready for our last one yes um okay hey jackson claude i need advice my mother-in-law has made so many comments about my weight gain um she did it over the holidays and i don't know how to deal with it.

1:01:25Comments in front of his entire family, aunts, uncles, brothers. At one point, his 20-year-old brother actually stuck up for me because he felt so bad. The worst comment was being when she gave me a sweater for Christmas and I opened it in front of everyone. Before I could even open it, she says, I got this for you before knowing how much weight you've gained. It's a medium. You're probably going to need a larger and extra large, but she could have just said, if you need another size, let me know. The medium did fit, but she asked me later that night if she could give it to one of her son's girlfriends instead because it would probably look better on her and fit her better.

1:01:53This is just one example of many. My fiance didn't think anything of it and she didn't said she didn't mean it like that. I have so much resentment. I could hardly stand being around her. Help. What do I do? Well, I think it's important that you wrote into us because we know nothing about the situation. And like sometimes like with in-law drama and then your man like kind of not not taking your side, but not like sticking up for you. You're like, wait, am I in the wrong? Just from an outside third party perspective with no particular interest in the matter, like this woman's a cunt um you literally did nothing wrong and your man not only like gaslighting you into thinking it's not a big situation big deal but also like not standing up for you against his mom like your man's a pussy so you got a pussy and a cunt and I know this is your fiance so we can't break up with him because like obviously there's a lot of play she said mother-in-law mother-in-law oh my god excuse me yeah so this is your husband this woman's a bitch and I feel like with in-laws when you're like the the daughter or the son like you deal with you put up with stuff because this is an older person you have respect for them it's your partner's mother but you do eventually like hit a point where it's like actually this is no longer works for me like I've swallowed too much I can no longer swallow yeah and I think you're reasonable for being at that point like that is crazy shit taking the sweater back put your foot down like you have power here and you don't have to go and you shouldn't go and you should boycott and not someone on your side not to be like I want her to be nicer to me like no there's actually there were times where you would have accepted forgiveness or correction or your husband to step in and all those times have passed and you're not going anymore so congratulations you fucking played yourself because if you had just said something to your mom all this could be avoided and now you're not going and the good thing that the small bit of hope we have to cling ourselves to and buoy ourselves too is you have an ally here in the brother so you're not the only person like see it's not like everybody's like what no you're crazy somebody else sees what you see so that's huge because I think a lot of times like in family dynamics if you're the outsider everybody's like what are you talking about yeah you're crazy put your big fat foot down and we're not going anymore put your medium-sized foot down we're having Christmas at home medium could have taken a large foot down Yeah.

1:04:04I'm not putting myself in this environment anymore. I love that the sweater still fit you. You played yourselves. I love that the sweater still fit you. That's so crazy. That's bullying. It wasn't a part of her plan. That's why she was like hoping that the sweater wouldn't fit. She's like, oh, I'll just give it to Sarah. But it did fit, but she had to give it to Sarah. Like she's seriously, she's a maniacal, diabolical bitch. And if your husband like won't go for it, start firing off some texts. Start making it permanent. Yeah, that's tough. Like when you're in a battle with, you know, I follow this woman, Shauna.

1:04:32do you know Shauna no let me make sure that's her real name um and I actually followed her like before I started telling people I was pregnant and I was worried and she followed me back and I worried that she was gonna like blow out my spot because like she does all um like newborn content and like she does like these little skits she's like a mom she's like a mom influencer her name is not Shauna what is her name Shauna yeah Shauna Lander um I love her she does these like little skits about like newborns like when friends come over and like act crazy spell shauna sh i love accounts like this oh you're gonna love shauna about um and by the way you probably will recognize her her videos go so viral you've probably seen it before sh a w n a lander l a n d e r is she on reels yeah oh sure she's shauna the mom okay yes i see her you have you seen her before i don't think so but maybe so she has a lot of skits about toxic mother-in-laws i love it and so if you're looking for inspo like go to her account and she'll tell you how to deal i forget who her like she has like a classic mother and i'm like what the cat barb barb that's her name um and so like she'll give you good tips on how to handle the barb in your life yeah and like say your husband's like no we're still going like send a text to the whole family say hey everyone we will be attending easter this year as barb can't control herself yeah can't control her rude comments if you guys want we'll have it at our house right barb you are not invited just light a match yeah like i feel like you've put in the time you can't get to the place where you like burn it all down without putting up with a lot um and you've definitely put up with a lot and you can you can burn it to the ground yeah and maybe that's how you get on a new page Like if there is like hope for the future, like something really big has to happen where she could maybe understand, even if she doesn't like agree, but at least just be respectful.

1:06:29That that's not how you talk to people that you want to, that you want to endear and that you want to come to your home and spend time with you. That's just not, I'm sorry that you're dealing with that. Like that's brutal. Um, but I hope we've given you like the confidence and the power to take control of your holidays. Yeah.
