2:16And I've actually never been in the presence of a psychopath who orders hot water with lemon. Like acting like it's a dish, you know, it's such a crazy thing. Now, I understand you were doing it for medicinal purposes. But if anyone in your life is ever. I am anorexic. Yeah. If anyone in your life is ever like sitting down and in a serious way ordering hot water with lemon, like be concerned about them. It's an extremely concerning thing to order. or they're just a podcaster who is trying their best to push through a tough time we've had like rolling sickness in our house the last few weeks of summer and you know what I'm fed up yeah sometimes when I'm getting sick I just decide kind of like with my period I just decide that it's over do you know what I mean it's like it's not because I'm still bleeding but like in my mind it's over no it's like so not over just when is it gonna be over I'm just I'm fed up it's really inconveniencing it it's paining me i'm pregnant yeah i'm like throwing up in the night for my acid reflux then like that hurts my throat which makes me cough which makes me pee like i can't that's so funny i for very different reasons also had acid reflux last night because you were chug-a-luggin yeah because i had like a couple of cocktails that were really sugary uh the honey juice the official cocktail of what did your sack get to so i had like something really unfortunate it happened like not to be a victim but when you go to the u.s open and you pay 25 for a cocktail that's how much it is the honey deuce they come in these like souvenir cups and it makes you feel better about the fact that you just spent 25 on a cocktail um and the first honey deuce i got was like we were just walking the ground so it was like this like random bar and they were like we don't have cups and i was like okay so it's free like it was just it was the same price they just gave me a plastic cup and i said okay but you can't take a picture of that correct so this one i was drinking just to drink not to take a picture of the second one i got the second one i got was at a bar in a different stadium because i went to go see the doubles match and the bartender said i said hi may i have two honey juices please i got one for ben he said yeah we don't have cups or melon which is like the signature garnish they have cantaloupe like balled out to look like a tennis ball kind of like an olive and a martini they put it on a toothpick it's so delicious it looks like a grape they ball it to perfection she was like we don't melt and they charge me full price no no melon no cup full price recession indicator so i was like all right this place sucks first of all but for the second match we're gonna be in a suite it's gonna be pargy i'll slum it without my cup for the doubles match and then when i go to the joke match people at the u.s open suffering drinking honey juices that they couldn't even take a photo of so i get to the suite i said hi may I have two honey deuces please he said yeah period I said oh that's great I'm so looking forward to my melons and my cup he gives me two plastic cups but I did get melon and like I had to take a picture in a plastic cup it was humiliating like I just want you to know I want you to know I didn't notice anything was awry as I tapped through your story last night And I just thought she was influencing from the U.S.

13:11No. Only now because I can't. Right. I have to be Team Blake forever. You have to be principled. And the thing is, if I ever get to a point where I do switch sides, it will be more so out of dislike for Blake Lively. I will never be championing. I'm not buying what Justin Baldoni is saying. However, I could see a world in which we learn more and the case comes out that I'm not siding with Blake anymore. but just to be clear like i ain't riding with justin ever okay i think that's fair yeah um there was something else i was thinking about like so it reminds me of blake and justin where it's like it took up so much of our brain space for so long like so passionate and now it's like my position is i don't give a rip yeah it's really yeah you know what else i feel that way about now since like something you cared so much about like something that was so like hot everyone was like hot take not even hot take but like opinionated like big story and now i'm just like i don't give a fuck love island no that you were on maternity leave so maybe it'll slip your mind but because football's back in session and unc played this weekend bill belichick and jordan oh i love bill belichick and jordan did you see she filed a trademark for a jewelry company named gold digger i did and it's like when i see them together now i don't give a fuck oh man you want to ruin your life go ahead like that's not my problem and i don't feel passionate about it anymore i agree it was fun for like a week and now it's become like it's like they're just a couple that gets followed and lots of paparazzi and lots of stories and i'm off the train i was on though for for the week yeah and i think that the train should have been stopped there yeah but of course it kept going but they had like a swirly summer together they're very much together he doesn't give a fuck what you all think about him neither does she so like live in peace go off i I don't care.

14:58Pop off, Jordan. Pop off, Jordan. Yeah. It's as simple and as complicated as that. Yeah, so it's funny how you can feel so strongly about something and then it just dissipates. Yeah, well, I think that's kind of the culture now, right? There's so much content, so much news, so many famous people. You get so overstimulated. You're talking about something extensively, nonstop for two weeks, and then you never hear about that person again. Yeah, but does it make you think about how you react to those things in the moment? Do you feel like pressure to have big feelings about it? Okay, so there are a lot of pop culture stories where everyone's like tagging me or you because they think it's like something you really care about.

15:40And I hate to disappoint people by saying like, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I do feel sort of pressure to have big feelings about stuff sometimes. And I'm going to leave that in Q3. Big little feelings. Stop, I love them. We need to tell everyone. No, of course. We need to tell. Have we not told that story before? We never told this story. Jackie sent me a graphic like a year ago of this podcast called Big Little Feelings. And it was literally us in 10 years. It's like a redhead, like a light porcelain skin. Does she have red hair? Yeah, she has red hair. She has my coloring. And then like literally me, like a brunette.

16:14And they have a podcast. And they were like, Jackie sent me a clip of theirs. And they were filming in front of like banana leaf wallpaper. And I was like, oh my God, is this our future? It was literally like looking into a crystal ball. Their podcast is called Big Little Feelings. It's about motherhood and parenthood. And apparently it's like a huge podcast. They recently signed to Dear Media, actually. Right. It is a huge podcast. They have like a really big Instagram page, too. And it is literally us in 10 years. It was the craziest thing to see. It was the craziest thing. And I kind of love that.

16:44Their artwork looks like ours. Not even because I'm not, nothing like copying or anything. Just because they are us. Yeah. And it's like they're sitting with a microphone. Hello. That's so us. And they're us and they're women and they're girls. And so it's pink and it's green. Yeah. A thousand percent. So that always sparks joy for us when we see them out in the sphere. It's so true. In the real sphere. Speaking of the sphere. Mm hmm. I kind of want to go. Yeah. But like of everything you've seen there, what would you want to go most for? Nothing. So they're not catering to me, which is completely fine.

17:21But like Grateful Dead, Musimus. Backstreet Boys. Don't give a fuck. Wizard of Oz. Okay, so I saw the Wizard of Oz. That's like the one I was like, damn. But it wasn't a concert? No, it was like a 360 movie with like you could feel the tornado. So I think that would actually make me nauseous. So again, pass. I had heard whispers about Miley maybe doing a residency there. Would love. I need them to have someone there that I personally care about. And then I'm down to make a trip of it. I agree. Rascal Flatts at the Sphere. Take me there. or like you know literally anyone like i don't even it doesn't need to be my favorite person it doesn't need to be like taylor swift or luke holmes like someone i like like someone you would enjoy yeah i'm down i'm telling you vegas is looking so attractive let's go like sponsored by vegas okay you know what i mean i feel like the way we've been talking about me especially it sounds like i'm getting paid by the tourism board of las vegas and just to be clear i'm not are you not no no no i would take their money and i would do it still i would take their money and bet it all on red but i'm just telling you like vegas sounds like a good idea at this stage in my life vegas is always a good idea yeah it's not true i actually i happen to love vegas like pre in my prior lives yeah i actually think it would be a fun trip to take with kids it's a little too far to just do like a weekend trip with kids from like the east coast but if i lived in la I'd be in Vegas.

18:49So there are two reasons why I think living in LA Oh, remind me, I want to tell you something about Spencer Pratt. Two things about living I have a notebook for that. Oh, great. Nothing makes me want to live on the West Coast or LA specifically, except for two things. One, the proximity to Vegas. We really don't have an equivalent to that in the East Coast. And I know everyone's going to say in Atlantic City, but please, if you've ever been there, you know it's nothing like Vegas. I do get jealous that people can do weekend trips to Vegas. That's really fun. I also get jealous that they get to watch the sun set over the ocean as opposed to rise.

19:21Because I'm never awake for the sunrise, but I'm always awake for the sunset. Yeah. Speaking of Spencer Pratt, I saw something when we were on break that was so crazy. Because we talked about it on the toast. Fire Aid. Remember that concert that all the celebrities and musicians put on to raise money for victims of the Palisades? Yeah, Fire Aid. So Spencer Pratt is on his investigative journalism shit. And it turns out like none of the money Billie Eilish and Alanis Morissette raised. And it was like a hundred million dollars. I think it was like 60 or 50 million dollars that they raised. Round up.

19:56Almost none of it. Sorry, not almost. None of it has made it to any victim of the fire. Right. And then Spencer posted this clip like investigating. Like so the money, if you read their website, they were raising money. This is always shady when like an organization is raising money for another organization. It's like, well, you're the organization. like do the work so they were giving money to like a hundred organizations and he posted this clip i gotta find it it was really good but that festival that we talked about extensively like all the celebrities getting together in like 72 hours um pretty much helped nobody right and where's the accountability well it's on spencer pratt's instagram like where's the apologies where's the money first of all where's the money you know let's get the money to the people but then it's like well who's the fraudster here who's going to jail i want to see who's responsible some jail time and then it's like fire festival do we blame you know emily radakowski do we blame billy eilish like the celebrities involved who obviously like most likely didn't know about it but they should feel stupid but i don't blame them i don't like i don't think there's malice there but but feel stupid definitely legally and and think like before you lend your time and your energy to a fruitless fraudulent cause.

21:10Maybe lend it to a fruitful cause. It might be nice. Lots of fruit. So, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't feel as though we should dilly-dally that much more because we do have deer toasters and they don't want to rush. I agree.

And this is actually like the first Huggies ad I can really speak to in a meaningful way. Right. Because I had changed diapers before. As I said, I was extremely involved. And I had thoughts, of course. But I could write a dissertation now on what makes a good diaper. And so much of it is texture. Right. Like a baby's bottom, it's called, you know, the phrase baby's bottom. It's a baby's bottom. It needs to be protected. It needs to be soft.

23:33And the Huggies, snug and dry, are luxuriously soft and ultra dry. They're unbelievably soft and irresistibly soft because your baby deserves a diaper that is so gentle on their tushy. Like one thing about me, I'm like an aggressive person. Like you see me put on makeup or like you see me put on hand cream and I'm just like rough. You know what I mean? When I'm changing diapers, I'm an entirely different person. I'm so gentle. I'm so like light, light. My touch is so light. And I feel as though the products that I'm using must reflect that softness and that calmness. And Huggies Snug and Dry are a perfect, we're a perfect match.

24:05I also love the Huggies wipes. Just side note, even though that's like not what the sad is about. I'm just like extremely authentic. More parents are choosing the new Huggies Snug and Dry Softness versus the leading premium diaper. Huggies, we got you, baby. Also, Huggies is just like an OG respectable brand. Like we were using them back in my day. And that's my philosophy when it comes to parenting. Like, oh, did this brand exist when I was born? You got it. Yeah, it's got, there's proof in the pudding, you know? Today's episode is also brought to you by Thrive Cosmetics. Summer is all about feeling and looking your best without piling it on.

25:45This is just, you know, like we're back to normal when this is our lead story. the Dancing with the Stars cast. I actually have found this announcement to be quite exciting and I am going to credit that to Mrs. Earl. Of course. She was like one of the only people they announced yet. Seeing her official photos. I didn't see her in her tard. Look at her Instagram. She posted like the official photos and it's like, it just, it really feels like two worlds coming together because the photos are like so commercial, but like she's so TikTok and Instagram. And I was happy to see her in that environment.

26:15They're leading with her, right? Like she was one of the only people who was announced as a cast member like months ago. And then she went on GMA this morning and announced the rest of the cast. They're clearly like betting on Alex, which I love, like seeing the value in the Earl girl. Oh, look at her. She looks so cute. Doesn't that make you excited? No, one thing about our show, I'm a fan. I'm not watching. I am a fan. Like she's so cute. I feel like she's just like a fun loving gal. Oh my God, she looks so cute. Yeah. And I don't really know what it means. People are like, whenever someone gets cast, I need to know who her partner is.

26:50Like, I don't know what it means, but she's partnered with Valentin. Now, I feel like he's an OG. Like, that's a good one. Yes. Also, I only care when people aren't partnered if, like, the person is, like, single, eligible, and they wind up with someone, like, single and eligible, because a lot of, like, love matches do come from Dancing with the Stars. Right. He is married to a fellow dancer. They have kids together. She's with Braxton. She's not going anywhere. She loves Braxton. Well, think about Alex Earle. She loves that guy. She really loves him. It's really beautiful. It is like not her, you know, hawking over every week to Houston.

27:23Yeah. As if she doesn't have enough going on. She just like really loves him. That's all that is. I love that. Because like she could be doing and I would have loved it too if she was like, you know, bopping around dating Leonardo DiCaprio. Like she literally could. She could date whoever she wanted. And that would be fun. And she'd be in the paparazzi a lot. And it'd be cool. But like she's chosen stability. And I love that. She's chosen love. And I think we could all learn something from Alex Earl. because this is a girl with endless options, right? She could date anyone. And not that there's literally anything wrong with Braxton.

27:53He's like a hot NFL player. But like she chose someone like stable, someone safe, not like the coolest, richest guy who was going to like cheat on her, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Really beautiful. So here's the cast of Dance With the Stars. Some of them we did already know. First, we have Olympic gymnast and gold medalist Jordan Childs, a perfect casting. We always need an Olympian. We do. Is it fair because she's literally a professional twirler? It's more fair than other things have been. Yes. We have Dylan Efron, who won Traders. Spoiler alert. And is brother of Zach. Yes. We have Boy Meets World alum, Danielle Fishel, Topanga.

28:31Topanga. Cute. We have, oh, cover your ears. Pentatonic singer, Scott Hoying. Okay. So I know him from TikTok. I like him. And you know, by the way, harking back to the earlier conversation we had here, normalize learning new information and changing your mind i used to think pentatonix was like annoying and corny and then i heard their cover of there can be miracles when you believe when you believe the hope is for it like and i changed my mind yeah no they're really a talented bunch it's amazing what they can do without instruments it really is also elaine hendrix from parent trap from Dynasty.

29:15She's such a great actress. I'm excited for her. That's like the perfect casting. Like Alex Earl. Like somebody huge on the rise. And Meredith Blake. Like someone, not on the down, but like it's the perfect balance. A traditional celebrity. Yeah. Yeah. It's pargy. NBA all-star Baron Davis. Congrats, Baron. Actor and musician Corey Feldman. Of course. He's a child actor. Yeah. fifth harmony singer lauren dreggie okay your inability to say her name you said it yesterday too i think it's i'm trying out different things it's lauren dreggie uh the one with the hole in her tights in the crotch from yesterday the jonas brothers performance um cool yeah you guys i keep seeing more footage of the performance and i can't look away which part of it is most shocking to you For me, it's the hole in the crotch.

30:09Like, that's just insane. For me, it's the out-of-syncness, for sure. Of course. But that's textbook 5H. Like, when you, like, pause it, like, they're all doing something different. Yep, yep, yep, yep. And then also, when you watch each one of them individually, like, they really are trying. And that makes it harder to watch. And the thing is, if you just focus on Normani and everything else is, like, blurred, she's slaying. Yeah. In the greater picture, she looks insane. But no, the more she slays, the harder it is to watch. I can't explain it. The whole thing was seriously insane. But the crotch rip takes the cake.

30:53That's your fave? Yeah. And comedian Andy Richter. Additionally, we already knew about Robert Irwin, the son of Steve Irwin. Perfect. And Jen Affleck and Whitney Liavit from Secret Lives. Yes. Her last name is Levitt. Are you okay? There's an A. Shout out to the A. There's an A because she's not Jewish. Like if there was no A, she would be Jewish. Yeah. They actually have the upper hand here. They're really good dancers. They've got pizzazz. I could see one of them winning. Whitney Levitt is an insane dancer. She's been coming up all over my TikTok. And she always danced, but she's obviously been doing more dances.

31:33Like since the Dancing with the Stars news. um jenna affleck is like one month postpartum yeah she looks insane she looks amazing those women like we were we were saying the last time we recapped secret lives of mormon wives that it's such an amazing show because they're all like actively in their childbearing years and they're not being like pushed to the side like they're stars yeah and it's so realistic like they're on a girl's trip and one of them's like pumping while they're having a fight like it's really it paints this era of life like really nicely and it's nice that they're be they're stars you know at this stage but they're becoming a little unrealistic like they're so unrealistic standards for women they're so skinny they're so perfect like they're all becoming so rich and like perfect looking also did you see that macy and mikaela named their daughters the same name they're both like charlotte one's lottie and one's charlie that's crazy yeah i mean they're not related so it's cute no and like they are different names charlie and lottie i don't know if i knew that like Lottie was Charlotte.

32:34And I'm sure you've seen about Whitney Liavit that like two of her kids, their names come from the same name. Like she has a Liam and a Billy, which are both William. Oh my God. I never realized Liam was William. Liam comes from William. Yeah. And then Billy. No, this doesn't bother me though. Because Liam these days, like if your kid's name is Liam. Yeah. Yeah. I think Whitney Liavit could take it all. And I just want to say, I agree. Like it's, it's, they're setting like a high standard for like postpartum women. and pregnant women they're at Coachella dance with their bellies out like and that couldn't be me but like up until this point like this period of life has been skipped over you know we either see like Jersey Shore or we see family vacation like or Real Housewives when you're like done totally and I've talked about this in my episode with Jessie when she came on the toast that it's really amazing for women what they're doing and just like I completely agree like they're still in the mix they're more relevant than ever like nothing is really slowing them down and it's like also on the other side like if you want to slow down please do we all do yeah of course like the fact that you don't have to i think it sends a great message so i love them i hope they do great and new season comes like soon i think it's october they just announced i can't wait until frankie paul has a new man does she she posted a couple days ago like a carousel and then one of them like she's with a guy with a guitar my phone volume like wasn't playing so i didn't hear what he was singing but up until recently i didn't follow them on tiktok i just let the show like tell me what was going on on tiktok but i've started to follow taylor frankie paul whitney i always follow jesse because she's a toaster um and i feel like i'm you get like two seasons you get the show on tiktok and then you get the show in real life it's literally the best show it's the best show i love it so i'm excited to hear about taylor's man and she moved and we're gonna to see Dancing with the Stars, I assume.

34:24Yeah. On the show, because it's a Hulu ABC syndicate. Yes. Also, Hilaria is on this season. We already knew that. Hilaria, yes. And did you see pictures of Hilaria and Alec at the US Open? Sitting behind Anna Wintour. Sitting behind Anna Wintour. It's insane that they get those seats. Because his star has fallen so much through so many things. And she's fucking crazy. And I just know. And Alec is looking so mad. It's giving Bradley Cooper at Wimbledon, but like the low budget version. Yeah, no, that was crazy. They were seated behind her on Real Housewives of Miami. Martina was talking about a time she wore like tennis shoes in the royal box at Wimbledon.

35:04She was sitting behind Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle in the royal box. They like put up a photo like people like that one time they went to the. Yeah, she's Martina's right behind them as she should be like she's a Wimbledon champion. But it's like, let's she won Wimbledon. Yeah, she's like the greatest tennis player. female one of the greatest of all time i've been watching a lot of tennis and actually martina's name comes up a lot when the commentators are just talking about like women's tennis history it's insane how like legit she is no no she actually like if i had to think of like five women's famous women tennis players oh my god and julia's there too this is so by the way all roads lead to bravo it's really crazy yeah i thought that was a crazy picture it's the craziest picture i've ever seen i didn't realize julia was there that's even crazier so they went twice to wimbledon it's the one where kate is wearing the green dress yeah this is insane i this is the craziest piece of information you could have dropped in my lap i watched more real housewives of miami last night they're in seville the girls are fighting and by the way i have something to say so i know i was like waiting to see how i felt about larsa and lisa i love them both those my girls i've made my decision i'm i think you're gonna be team larsa i'm team larsa yeah the vibe that i was getting from the first like five episodes that we watched is like lisa's fucking crazy she's like she's gone off the deep end she's in this nutty relationship like i don't think like i could trust her judgment larsa is like you can say what you want about larsa but she's always herself yeah no and like lisa's just like very much like in her own way it's just a cacavity of like chaos and it's all about her and like she doesn't like give back to her friends because like she has so much going on and it's just like a annoying yeah and larsa even on kardashians when she was fighting with that other friend of theirs yeah yeah favorite episode by the way yeah that girl's trip that girl's trip even though like sarah won out because she's still friends with the girls and larsa's not she's just friends with courtney but yeah she's still in the mix but like larsa just is a rational person she's like a good thinker she's a good fighter she's not like off the deep end crazy and i just i like people like that like just a stable good head on her shoulders yeah so i'm team larsa i've made it my decision okay i could have guessed yeah um are you ready for our next story a little more tv casting news because snl introduced five new cast members in the wake of their season 51 exodus so big we didn't talk about it right like so many people were fired they're fired so they let them announce like in a way that's ambiguous but some people made it clear like yeah like i got called and to the office or i was on vacation and like i found out okay so who's going oh people i know their faces i don't know their names okay long michael longfellow longfellow teeth yeah that's that's why that's why i'm sure i'm sure i could just like from snl oh heidi gardener's leaving that was like a big one yeah i see michael longfellow michael longfellow devon walker so like you know their faces but you don't know their names which is probably why they were let go like if you haven't made an impact you get i feel like year one is always hard year two you can break out yeah if you're not really making waves by year three like it is your time to go uh and there are multiple ways to make waves by the way some people get cast to do skits and they end up you know writing a lot like there are different ways but um i don't think the show will be negatively impacted by the loss of these people except heidi heidi was a big one yeah she was and so there's five new comedians who are joining one of them is from that sketch comedy um please don't touch you know they don't destroy they were making videos for us and now they're not making them anymore and then i guess one of them got a gig oh really yeah those are boys as like a full-time cast member yeah um colhane is please don't touch jeremy colhane I believe he's also a nepo baby Nepo baby no sorry Marshall I don't know they all look the same okay so the nepo baby got lost yeah SNL adds five new cast members and loses the nepo baby so Ben Marshall who's one of the three members of Please Don't Destroy he was promoted to a feature player along with a bunch of other comedians but John Higgins who is the nepo baby his dad is the is Ben Higgins?

39:30yes from the bachelor no his dad is the guy on jimmy fallon who wears the glasses who's like the mc got it oh wow yeah steve higgins is his name he's leaving the show and then the third member martin will stay on as a writer but the group is effectively breaking up and will not produce their signature behind the scenes sketches for snl anymore that's a shame because those sketches were good they were one of the better parts of the show agreed so i feel like they should have done more of it bring them all on but agreed and i think when people criticize snl for not being like really relevant anymore and not engaging in like internet culture they say besides for please don't destroy and bow and yang like those are like the two things that like snl got right and with this new wave everyone's very excited about the girl veronica because she's like big internet she has like a big like following so that's they're getting a lot of credit for like finally leaning in like casting people because yes you know comedy is old school and traditional but like comedy largely exists on the internet now and that's how so many people get discovered and i'm honestly like i didn't know this veronica girl but everybody seems really excited yeah and so i'm excited for the snl viewers yes that is not us but they exist i hear so i hope you are you know catered making your target demo happy with this love that yeah are you ready for our next story a little legal news because cardi b was found not liable in a 24 million dollar assault lawsuit so an la jury has cleared cardi b of assault accusations from a security guard that originally sued her for 24 million dollars over the alleged attack um i'm sure everyone saw the photos and videos and outfits and she's been making lots of news being really funny being really funny and being very honest on the stand after the verdict was announced cardi spoke to the press outside of the courthouse and said it's been really tough to deal with the case in the middle of her album rollout adding that she missed her daughter uh her kids first day of school on tuesday she said quote the next person to try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me i'm going to counter sue and i'm going to make you pay because this is not okay she added people have this misinterpretation of celebrities like oh well we can ask for this and they're going to settle don't you ever think that you're going to sue me and i'm just going to settle and just give you my money it's not going to happen i love she's right by the way a lot like we're a notoriously litigious nation and when it comes like wealthy people companies celebrities people just like file frivolous lawsuits because it's cheaper for them to settle give you a 50 grand and then spend all this money on lawsuits and i'd like that she said to a trial and testify absolutely not it reminds it's like gwyneth yeah i think she should counter sue this person though like no don't wait till the next one do it now agreed i love this i think that's a great precedent i think she should do i don't think she should wait another minute me neither more of this agreed everybody's so afraid like i'll just settle no no but it's also like she had she had to take time out of her day go to the courthouse testify it's very like a serious business miss first day of school so it's like okay maybe you settle also for of course it makes your life easier no i love that like counter sue yeah and if you sue someone you lose you have to pay their legal bills that's what that's what i've learned like that's what i was taught it's true so this person's paying cardi's legal bills i guess it might be like state by state and it's not like a federal law i think that's one of our better laws i totally agree yeah like the founding fathers ate with that they slayed like who thought of that because it's true like because then you could just i guess it stops people from really being frivolous if i could just go around suing whoever i want there's like a 50 50 chance someone on a jury is going to agree with me like yeah i'll be filing shit left right and center yeah so it is it stops people from being like insanely frivolous although people like they still do it they still take that risk but it's just it's not a zero risk game yeah so shout out to john hancock to the supreme court yeah you did you put your whole secrecy into that yes you did are you ready for our next story are you ready kids what time is it I mean what time is it I'm cracking up what story is it number four I feel like you're ready and then you won't be ready I'm ready I'm ready Kim Kardashian is sparking a debate I'll be ready and then I won't be ready inside baseball right if you know you know

44:15kim kardashian's doing what she's sparking a debate over her controversial parenting take so this story is multi-pronged because kim did a live stream with kai sanat um on mafia thon three over the weekend i guess she's which you're obviously like a huge fan of i actually know kai because of Prime and the Paul Brothers. Of course, because I watch the Paul, Paul American. I know Kai. Do you know Kai? I do. I don't know Mafia Thon 3, but I think she did like a Twitch stream. She's trying to reach the Twitchers. And she shared a thought about parenting that's sparking some debate. I'm curious to get your thoughts.

Read the full transcript

44:50Okay, but before we get into it, that's so funny. I did not think that she was trying to get into streamers. I feel like she did this because she's a good mom. Because Saint is obviously like obsessed with these streamers and he like loves Roblox and I'm sure he like wanted to be on the stream, but she was never gonna let him go by herself because like seriously seeing her there she like threw a table like it was humiliating like it's something you would only do for your child who you love like literally liz woods posted like oh kim did mafia 3000 or whatever and i literally responded to liz i'm like she's a good mom like seriously this is her being a good mom because image wise like she looked so stupid like that's really sweet i do think yes and that because her kids are so into it she sees like how big it is i don't know how big streaming is i would never if someone said hey do you want to come on mafiathon 3 i would say no i don't know what that is and i don't know what it could do for me but i think that like she sees the opportunity too and like this is where the kids are this is where this is the future i'm gonna go yeah step into the future i'm gonna debase myself

45:53anyways she said on the stream

46:03what did she say on the stream she said you guys aren't gonna believe it i think i saw this clip but i'm like forgetting what she said she doesn't believe in homework she said i'm gonna tell you that's so crazy she said i'm gonna tell you why she said kids are in school for eight hours a day when they come home they need to also they do sports have a life spend time with their family i think that homework should be left for in school she said okay i actually agree with kim um like when i think about the fact jackie and i we went to a dual curriculum high school so like we were in school from 8 to 4 45 that's literally the entire day and then to go home and be expected to do with like any extracurriculars that doesn't include like 4 45 is just the end of the class like classes that doesn't include if you wanted to play a sport play an instrument like pick up a hobby then i don't know eat spend time with your family sleep watch maybe 30 seconds of television and then do homework like I've always felt like it was so stupid but also like how but also like like I fucking hated school and like I didn't I didn't pay attention ever so like I also need to learn you know right and I wonder how valuable because practically to me it does sound valuable to like learn things in school and then go home and see if you can do them on your own and if you can't then going back the next day and figuring it out like it does seem like a useful practice in order for the practical application of school policy a policy so i i think that like in terms of learning and you know what like as a nation like we're kind of slipping yeah we're not crushing it's like maybe let's switch it up no i actually think i don't think more homework i think i'm against too much homework and i also don't have strong opinions about this yet because i'm not there yet yeah right i don't like really see and i don't remember what it was like to like be in third grade and if that really was enriching for me to come home and do my homework um but I don't know if this is the time to loosen the reins on the children's education oh that's funny children are slipping no okay so I feel like the opposite the children are slipping so like what we're doing isn't working and I think like maybe if the children were like better balanced like they had time to run around outside get fresh air get off of their phones like maybe they wouldn't feel like they want to kill themselves at school like yeah I just did this last night and now back in the morning I have to do it again.

48:19Like it's low key crazy. Why aren't kids reading? Why don't they know how to read like they used to know? Okay. So like I can speak to somebody who like literally hated, despised. The age for learning, knowing how to read has increased. Oh, it's pushed back. Over the years. Yes. I don't know. Like a hundred years ago kids were reading earlier than they are now. Like I don't know. I don't have opinions. Why is that? Why? I don't know. something's wrong in the curriculum. So let's switch it up. Let's just try something new. I actually agree with Kim. Like I would rather my kids be like. Or try something old.

48:56More well balanced. Doing lots of sports. Playing instruments. Hanging out with their friends. Being social. And going to school. As opposed to just like school all the time. Like sorry. Some of the smartest kids I knew in school are like low key failures now. It means nothing. Sorry. Yeah. I'm not anti all homework. But I definitely think there should be balance. And there are a lot of ways to learn. And it's not just through a workbook. Yeah, agreed. And I like the classes and the teachers who were like really nuts about homework. And then you always had ones that were more relaxed because I think like as teachers, like they all have different philosophies as to like how effective homework is.

49:32And maybe it's just because they gave me less work. But I remember those classes and what I learned in the less homework ones more fondly. And I feel like maybe what they taught me stuck more because they like respected my fucking time. Yeah. And I also feel like there's like fun homework, you know, like practicing your letters. Love. Love that. I guess. Learning cursive. They don't learn that anymore, by the way. They don't know cursive. I am okay with that, I want to say. I just feel like it's a sign of the times. My only concern is that when the kids aren't learning cursive anymore and one of the kids who hasn't learned cursive becomes famous and somebody asks for an autograph, they're just writing their name in print.

50:10Yeah. Because that's the only application of cursive in my current life and when I sign a bill. I think cursive is nice. Or a contract, you know, because I'm constantly signing mega million dollar contracts with my seven attorneys. Classic turtle. Classic. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Yeah I feel like he should have been more subtle but also a maybe is a maybe um also if she's not playing this is a good cover i think he did okay and i think that he will endear himself to the taylor fans by the way that he spoke about her like everyone says nice things but i don't know the way that like when he said special special talent like that came from the heart sorry i know people don't like him but i thought that was really heartfelt do you think he's a swifty yeah or like he just i don't know to the music but like he just really respects her i was getting it was giving respect anyone else feel maybe they're courting her so he wanted to be like really genuine but everyone says nice things about her what you know what crazy person who's in charge of a business is gonna make an enemy of the swifties i just felt like the way that he spoke about her was with a lot of care and love that's all i'm saying oh so you think he's in love with her i think he really admires her i do i mean i love that i feel like at this point it's so crazy that taylor has not performed the halftime show um and then he said he said he's waiting on the hype he said he's waiting on jay-z he said it's in his hands i'm waiting for the smoke to come out so i just want to say they have good a good relationship taylor beyonce and jay-z so it's not like there's beef like i can't imagine why she wouldn't it's weird that she hasn't but i feel like people always like are like is taylor gonna do it taylor gonna do it it's more this year than ever because of obviously like her engagement and easter eggs but i feel bad if it's not her for whoever it is because it's gonna be like a major disappointment although for the last few years miley's name has been thrown around quite a bit and i think she would be spectacular i would not be upset if it was her and i do think her time is coming i would love that i also think it's good that roger kicks it to jay-z because now if it's not taylor we can all blame jay-z and i and i love when we have someone to blame yeah and i feel like it feels good he he won't care if we blame him it'll be like we'll feel righteous in our anger a thousand percent but i hope at the end of the day that she is performing and that this of course usually they announce soonish yeah yeah yeah oh are you okay i'm fine she says as she keels over i'm fine well i'll dive into dear toasters while you come to yourself I'm fine.

59:11Anyways, also say let's make a bet. Is Taylor performing Super Bowl? The evidence is extremely compelling. But every time I get myself like invested in a Taylor theory, like the evidence is always compelling because she's a crazy person. And I get like clowned on. But I do. I do. I do. Especially because like I think they have this plan for like him to win the Super Bowl and retire. and if like she's doing her bit like I think that they're both extremely ambitious people like I do I do I do I do I do I do I do as well okay that's our bet that's our take let's dive into dear toasters our weekly advice segment that is immensely popular so every Tuesday this week Wednesday Jackie and I take submissions from the swirlies who are in need you guys can write to us about anything in the world marriage stuff baby stuff work stuff whatever it is we're gonna do our absolute best to help you.

All submissions are entirely anonymous. We will never blow up your spot. Let's dive in. Dear Toasters, I am 30, and my first friend in our friend group is pregnant. My friend group has always been super close since college. We've historically gone out, lived it up in our 20s, but we've all really, for the most part, calmed down. We still get together every other week, and my mom-to-be friend is always drinking with us. We thought it was weird at first, but she said her doctor says it's fine as long as she doesn't get drunk.

1:00:37The other girls and I have seen and started suggesting non-drinking activities, but she's still drinking every month with us. It's also like, is she doing that at home? She's six months pregnant, and I'm at the point where I feel like I need to say something, but I'm not a mom or a doctor. What would you do? Please help. Love you so much. I just want to say, I too am not a doctor, but I'm 100 % sure the doctor will never tell you you can drink but as long as you don't get drunk it doesn't count like that's not a thing that doctors tell pregnant women just saying yeah but what is their official policy on having a drink because you know people say you can have a drink during pregnancy in the third trimester that's not what she's doing by the way she's not having a drink she's having no she's getting drunk but also they say that in the third trimester she's only six months and like with what frequency do they say at the doctors i believe you can have a glass of wine a week i'm actually going to the doctor today should i ask do some research if i drink but i don't get drunk so you should ask dr fox like what's the send it to dr fox you have an i you could also just ask chat gbt they say in the third trimester you can have a glass of wine you certainly cannot drink like vodka or tequila what does he say what she's drinking no she's getting drunk and no she's not doing what they what emily oster says you could do right and regardless she's drinking more than you know oh go have a glass of wine here or there if you need to relax one night sure it's not good for the baby and by the way jackie the girl is now six months pregnant and for the last couple of months she's been doing this so like really bad it's really uncomfortable um i think your course of action here is to call the girl's mom or call the girl's husband like nothing this girl's your friend's an alcoholic hi like if you can't stop drinking when you're pregnant you're an alcoholic and so anything you say to her she's gonna like you know rebut or come up with a lie but you've seen firsthand that she's damaging not only herself but the the life of her baby and that involves people not her as well right it involves the father it involves her potential grandparents so yeah call her mom okay i like that i really don't have advice because it's i don't think confronting her is going to do anything no she knows what she's doing right um it's such a conundrum it's that's really like sad and unfortunate but maybe someone can restrain her from drinking for the next few months like seriously lock her up that's insane yeah that's fetal alcohol syndrome is extremely real and yeah i i i can't imagine how i feel in this situation but like i feel like i wouldn't want to invite this person to these events one it's a buzz kill to have this tragic situation you can't help but also feel like responsible no no but not even because like oh we don't want her to drink she could stay home and drink but like I don't want to be around someone who's doing something so terrible that's not a fun night with the girls for me no not at all um call her mom yeah call the father yeah that's a good place to start and stop inviting her like well yes I think yeah okay this this next one like genuinely made me chuckle ready hey Jackson Claude I need some serious help I just found out that my boyfriend got fired from his job over a month ago and he's been keeping it a secret the worst part is that he's been commuting to the city during work hours and sitting at a mcdonald's near his old office in order to keep up his lie and he's just been like applying for jobs we've been together for a year and he has a habit of lying do i give him a break or do i cause hell over this lie yeah that's bad yeah the thing is is like i maybe could get past him not sharing that he got fired because like it's embarrassing but you sharing that he has a habit of lying like it's always it's not the crime it's the cover-up like the fact that you're comfortable like living a true double life like you this is the type of guy who has a second family of course eventually like you could do this with anything but also it's like if you lost your job it's not a big deal like you can find another one but the fact that you're wasting your entire day at mcdonald's applying for jobs like apply for jobs at home and do the dishes like you're unemployed now make yourself useful running out of the house every day like and if you're applying for jobs like i'm assuming like you work in corporate because you're traveling to the city for whatever like get a job as a waiter like we have a house to support like you just like floundering doing nothing agreed it you can't apply all day to jobs like there are only so many job listings it would be better if he like didn't tell you got fired he started working from home and it turns out he's been applying but like he's home instead he's running away every day when like there are things you could be doing in the house ways that you could be helping me yeah the the dramatics of going into the city commuting and faking like with your location like this guy's just like a sneaky person you know yeah like capable of great sneakiness yeah it's a major red flag for me i'm in agreement and the fact that you already know that he's like a liar people who just like are really comfortable lying and then you just find out that they're a liar and you stop believing everything that they say like those people are really fucking crazy and like a year that's the time to call it i'm actually in agreement i hate to press the breakup with your boyfriend button but like i'm inclined to you're not engaged you're not married you're not pregnant like get out and you didn't even give us the usual like he's a p-jom otherwise the greatest man right break up with your boyfriend he's gay and unemployed and unemployed our third and final dear toasters hey swirlies i'm in a friend group made up of four married couples we all have kids two of the couples have decided to engage in a polyamorous relationship with each other husband A is dating wife B husband A is dating husband wife A is dating husband B you get it I do not approve of this arrangement but we have a group trip coming up with all four couples and our kids what should we do?

1:06:11we've already spent$2 ,000 but I'm afraid if we don't go it'll end the friendship I'm also questioning if I want to continue this friendship long term after the trip and how to handle it if you think I should leave the friendship please give tips on how to phase out I think you're looking at this all wrong like oh wow okay this is so entertaining like how hysterical Like, and you know, you go on a trip, you want there to be some drama. Could there be anything more interesting than this? Like, and you like these people and you don't want to stop being friends with them. Like, you don't have to.

1:06:39Get all the tea. It's also kind of how the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives began. And it's very possible that this becomes a huge drama. They get a reality show. Everyone gets famous. And then you're like the moron who backed out before things got exciting. So if you want to be famous, I would stick around. But it's like if you like them and you have fun with them and they don't do this stuff like in front of kids. It's just like during the adult time, like how interesting. I would grab a vat of popcorn and sit down and watch it all play. The next morning, who was with who? Like, oh my gosh, entertainment.

1:07:11Yeah, we can't tell you whether or not to end the friendship. Like if this is really something you're not comfortable with, like sure, end it. She said she doesn't want to not go on the trip because that might end the friendship. She doesn't want to end the friendship. She's worried about this trip. But like, I'm sorry, I want to watch things play out on this trip. maybe you're worried about what might happen. If you might have an upside down pineapple in your shopping cart soon. Correct. And the next thing you know, you're on like a swingers cruise. Yeah. Oh, I guess if you're worried that like it could be a slippery slope for you, like I would understand just being like, I want it.

1:07:44Of course, boundary. For me. But otherwise, like this sounds like your own personal soap opera. Like I'm obsessed. The crazy thing is like I didn't know things like this like actually happened. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It's stuff you like hear about for movies or books, but like no one's actually doing that. Yeah. No, but just like how many toasters out there are swingers or are friends with swingers or are finding themselves in this predicament? And the upside down pineapple, I feel like it was like a subliminal secret message. But now like everybody knows about it. Like you would be ashamed to put an upside down pineapple because then your secret's out.

1:08:20Yeah. Maybe they've moved on to something different. We don't know. 1 ,000%. If we go to like reddit.com slash swingers, you can find out what like the new upside down pineapple is. Yeah. I don't like a card, a cartilage piercing or something, you know? No. Or like, you know, two cantaloupes on different sides of the cart. Two cantaloupes by your breasts. You know, like or a watermelon underneath the cart. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I know too much. Something that's in like every grocery store, like a box of Ritz crackers. no but i feel like it has it should be produce is better yeah like an eggplant an eggplant sticking out of the bottom of your i think a watermelon i'm giving them great ideas i am like too nervous to ever swing like if i walked into my local grocery store the kosher grocer with an upside down pineapple and nobody like took a bite i would be crushed like me and Ben, like we walk around, we're looking our best.

1:09:18We get all dressed up to go to the grocery store, okay? We flip our pineapple and no one gives us the time of day. Like seriously, I'm devastated. No, but also like say you do it and you flip your pineapple and there's outreach. What does the outreach look like? Like does someone come up to you? Do they give you a phone number? Do they follow you to your car? So the new thing, well, we live in the city, so like no one's like being followed to their cars. The new thing where you can like tap someone's phone and like share contact. The pineapple thing is a very suburban thing. a thousand because in the city like oh you want to swing just like go down the street it's so true like just open your front door i would love to know like if there's anyone in my life who swings like i'm sure that there is people just like do that whatever goes on in people's like private lives like pop off yeah yeah it's very interesting anyways i think this is so exciting for you for the whole family
