Some Good Grift: Tuesday, February 24th, 2026

12:56Claudia Oshry:And maybe they just want us to feel the way that he felt like, you know, having to take care of his sick mother, having to arrange a funeral.

13:02Jackie Oshry:And the right place, right time for Carolyn. Like he did a lot of girls, but he was ready because, you know, his mother died and he's sort of the next generation. And that's why he was ready to like do it. I don't know. But it's a shame that she never met her. I know.

13:11Claudia Oshry:I don't know if I ever knew that. It's really sad. So that's what last episode was. And it was nice. I'm still enjoying. And I'm ready to get the show on the road. You know, like the love story that we're titling it. Like, where's the love story?

13:26Jackie Oshry:So I will say that the love story, it appears like it officially begins next episode. Because like. In yours, it doesn't begin. No, they are like secretly seeing one another. But then like it's on the cover of the post at the very end of this episode. Got it. Okay. Oh, and Calvin Klein is gay.

13:41Claudia Oshry:Yeah, so that's why they're like alluding like he is with his wife Kelly, but they're like still saying stuff about him like hitting on people.

13:48Jackie Oshry:Yeah, and I guess like an undertone of the show that like completely went over my head is that like he's going to become very jealous of Carolyn because like he's also like into JFK. You know, that should be me.

13:59Claudia Oshry:Oh, I could see him becoming jealous of Carolyn because she's like so successful. But in the beginning, it seems like he's having the right reaction, which is like this is great for me. Lifting her up. And Carolyn dating JFK would also be great for Calvin Klein. but if he has a crush on him are you sure that's just what like i saw people saying and i was like

14:16Jackie Oshry:oh i didn't think that i also think like that feels like homophobic i agree 100 like you can't like just see a man and you can't just like hate a woman for any other reason yeah homophobic check yourself i agree that actually is giving homophobia um i guess let's dive in what are the stories you

19:09Claudia Oshry:Thank you, Turt.

19:10Jackie Oshry:You're welcome.

19:11Claudia Oshry:Our first story is a fun story. Season 22 cast of The Bachelorette has dropped. Taylor Frankie Paul's men are on display. So all, how many does she have? 22 men competing for season 22 for Taylor Frankie Paul's heart. So we have a nice mix of guys. I'm having PTSD. I haven't watched The Bachelor forever. And like, I literally hate that show. No, it's going to be so good, Claude.

19:36Jackie Oshry:It's going to be so good. I don't know. I really tried like, and I know I say this like every time I say something negative, but like I really try to be a positive person.

19:43Claudia Oshry:What part about this like doesn't do?

19:45Jackie Oshry:Not about this. It's just like everything so far and just like I was actually saw a tick tock of Taylor Frankie Paul today talking about how she said something so wild on camera like everybody gasped. And it's like I don't know. It's just not giving ready for a stable relationship. The trailer. Okay fine. That part I can agree with. So I could see us all getting on board getting really invested and like this is just a big waste of time.

20:02Claudia Oshry:Like a good opportunity for her but like nothing's going to come from it. Yeah. So you really want love. Like what about true love is what you're saying. I don't even need them to like really end up together.

20:10Jackie Oshry:I just want people who are serious. Do you know what I mean. And I just don't. I need them to end up together honestly. No, sometimes things don't work out, but that doesn't mean your heart wasn't in the right place and you weren't really ready for a relationship. I really don't feel like she's going on The Bachelorette to find her partner. I don't feel like she really wants an endgame right now. She's having so much fun. She's so successful. She's young.

20:29Claudia Oshry:It's great. I think she does. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that that's what she wants because I think it's probably lonely at the top. And she wants to be with someone. All of her friends have husbands. And when she's home in Utah, that's where she films her show. She's not always traveling the world. Like she would like to be doing it with someone.

20:47Jackie Oshry:We were talking about Whitney from Salamo and how maybe she like might leave the show. And she then like two days later posted on Instagram like a bunch of moving boxes like that they're officially New York residents. Now, I'm not sure if that was just because she extended her run as Roxy Hart and they got like an apartment and she had to tag the movers. Right. Or it's like she doesn't have a home in Utah anymore.

21:05Claudia Oshry:It was giving tagging the movers. Okay, that's fine. Listen, we all have a hustle to play. And like don't forget when Jen Affleck said she was moving to New York for her husband's medical school. and she's still on the show. So these women, they're women of the world, you know? They're transient in terms of where they live.

21:21Jackie Oshry:Yeah. And Whitney, as of the last season, wasn't even living in Utah, right? She was living in like St. George. She like came back for the show.

21:28Claudia Oshry:Yeah, but she was living like three hours away. And so it's Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. They can still be following Whitney and she can like come back for a couple events. It's not Secret Lives of Utah Wives. Right. So I think that she will stay on the show in some capacity. I really hope so. Now I want to play a fun game. I want you to look at these guys just based on like looks and vibes. I want you to pick like not the top three, but three people who you think might win. I saw like two that I feel good about, but I want to go through it again. So it's usual like crop of bachelor guys. We don't get a lot.

21:59Jackie Oshry:Shane is like so cute. Let me see Shane. Private wealth planner. Like, okay. Dream man. Oh, for sure. Very handsome. Okay. I just want to say Trenton. I don't want to just choose the first one. Just based on looks and the fact that he's a professional athlete. like it's giving winner okay i don't think she would choose shane i would and that's how i know like we're not aligned i don't think she would choose ron he's like very nerdy looking account executive she can't be with like a corporate baddie um entrepreneur served in the military for 17 years and then started his own business supporting kids in the foster care system that's rod oh he's cute i don't think she would choose him oh richard you don't meet anyone named richard these days we were just talking about the name richard it's a great name he's from charleston and he's a photographer.

22:43Jackie Oshry:For an influencer, it's kind of a perfect husband.

22:45Claudia Oshry:But I also, I feel like she's like, just like you said, she's not going to end up with an account manager or even like the private wealth manager. Photographer is like, kind of like a flexible gig. I could see her with a creative like that.

22:55Jackie Oshry:I agree. So his name was Richard. We should, can you write down people who I like, who I think?

23:01Claudia Oshry:Who you think,

23:02Jackie Oshry:but you have to go with three picks for number one. Doesn't mean they're top three. No, of course. But I just want to see if at the end of the season, if I'm right. So I think that, write these names down, Richard and Trenton so far. Now, Mike from New Jersey, who's a brand protection manager. I don't know what that means. Like, do you work in security? No.

23:25Claudia Oshry:Like, protect your brand. Do you know what I mean? That's not a job. No, I think it is. Like, I think it is.

23:32Jackie Oshry:He's a reformed bad boy and an aquaphor addict. Oh, that sounds like for her. Let me see. No, I don't think. Let me see. It's not like giving soulmate.

23:38Claudia Oshry:Okay. But sometimes these pictures are like not fair. Oh, Michael's cute. He's from San Diego. He's a chiropractic healer. Oh, I thought that he was a good one. Let me see him. A healer. Like they're so. I'm sorry. He has the bachelor winning look, you know.

23:51Jackie Oshry:This is not your grandma's bachelor though. Like we have to rethink everything we thought we knew. Matt, I'm sorry. No. So you're saying Richard and Trenton so far. Richard and Trenton.

23:59Claudia Oshry:What was the name of the healer? The healer's name was Michael B. Michael B. I'm putting him down for now.

24:06Jackie Oshry:Marcus, who's from Elmont, New York, a creative director. I don't think that she would choose him. I don't think she would choose someone from New York. Malik, who's from Brooklyn, New York, a tech executive. No, sorry, like too stable. Lou, by the way, how do you think you spell Lou? L-O-U. L-E-W. It's for Louis. Oh, duh. He's from Salt Lake and he's an insurance tech founder. He's 6 '8". Oh my gosh. Zoom in. But looks wise, it's not giving match. Even though like she was with Dakota, so like what the hell do we know? But Dakota like looks like a guy on the match. He looked like the first guy, the sports guy.

24:39Jackie Oshry:I'm sorry, Lou. It's going to be a no. Kevin, who's from Miami and is a physical therapist. No. Josh is a sales manager from Utah. A Disney adult. That's what it says. Show me. But like, I don't think she would like his looks. Oh, Johnny, he's cute. He's from Massapequa. Sounds like a magical place. Show me Johnny. He's got like long hair. He's 30 years old. He's a former professional baseball player. That's good. I think write down Johnny. I don't think he's a front runner. Oh, Doug.

25:11Claudia Oshry:He's the one to watch.

25:12Jackie Oshry:Doug was another one of Doug is the one to watch. He's a lifeguard and he can ride a unicycle. Yeah. Conrad silly goofy. Conrad is a startup founder. Goodbye.

25:24Jackie Oshry:Clayton is a singer songwriter and loves flower bouquets. Bye. Christopher is from California. He's a business owner and an air force vet and devoted single dad. Show me. Okay, wait. What do you think about like a fellow single parent? Blended. I don't know if that's what she's... I don't think she can spread herself like to now start caring about someone else's kids.

25:46Claudia Oshry:And I think like, I imagine she wants to have more kids. Like then there's just a lot of kids. A mechanical engineer... But I don't think she would be saying no to someone because of that. I don't think so. A mechanical engineer from Nashville, no. You could do that anywhere. They have mechanics in Utah.

26:00Jackie Oshry:A loan officer from South Dakota who's also a single dad. Dakota.

26:08Jackie Oshry:cute it's not giving like the one for me oh my god this guy this guy brad is like he everyone's sitting on a stool and they just like sat on the stool in different poses he got up and touched the stool for his photo newport um beach entrepreneur no aaron um from utah product manager no oh that's it okay um so you gave me three yeah i'm staying with my pics okay cannot wait. This will be so fun. Is reality Steve still a thing?

26:34Claudia Oshry:Like, can we just spoil it? I'm dying to know. Oh, yeah. I feel like it's probably already out there. Who won? Because I feel like she's been out with him. Remember that she went to, like, a game with someone?

26:43Jackie Oshry:No, but that was on a date, like a televised date. Yeah. We used to get that all the time, where, like, the dates weren't in public and we would see. Yeah. Honestly, like, Dumois better get her big girl panties on. Like, she's the new reality Steve, or, like, this generation of reality TV. So, I hope she's putting in the work boots on the ground.

26:59Claudia Oshry:Yeah. I also want to say I'm surprised that there aren't any familiar faces here, like either past contestants or like someone's brother from Utah. It was like, I've always loved Taylor. Yeah.

27:09Jackie Oshry:Like when Becca Tilly showed up on Ben Higgins season.

27:11Claudia Oshry:Yeah. Or, you know, someone from the reality TV world, like Harry Jowsey. Totally. Like, I feel like that they would have thrown in. This is missing a little bit or a former bachelor contestant. That always happens. Yeah. Like.

27:25Jackie Oshry:And I guess one of these guys is our next bachelor, even though like the model's out the window, right? The model is out the window. Good.

27:31Claudia Oshry:It was holding them back, these brandos. But I don't know. I feel like Shane could be the next bachelor. There's a lot of next bachelors here. Great. So that will be fun to watch. And I think they like all the bachelorettes, the former bachelorettes, they got together last month. I saw that. And they were like making content. I think for the premiere of the show, they always like to kick it off with a bang, probably passing the baton to Taylor.

27:52Jackie Oshry:Yes, I think it was like the first time they'd all been in the same room. Yeah. and I don't believe there was anybody who didn't show up even though I didn't see Claire crawling in that picture I just want to say interesting let me triple check I remember looking for her

28:04Claudia Oshry:because she's like one of the craziest crazy that she was the bachelor like half right she was half it was her and Tasha and then they switch because like she's like okay she ran over right but Dale she ran off wait that's insane that she did that she was so fucking crazy but you know what she's

28:20Jackie Oshry:So like happy now. Yeah. Caitlin Bristow had posted a bunch of pictures like Katie Thurston. Is there Hannah Brown? What's her name? Allie Fedotowski. Andy Dorfman. The OG. What's her name? Trish. Trisha.

28:34Claudia Oshry:Not Trisha Paytas. Jojo Fletcher.

28:36Jackie Oshry:Trish and Ryan.

28:37Claudia Oshry:Becca Kufrin.

28:39Jackie Oshry:Oh, my former camp counselor, Ashley Air Bear. Yeah, wait. I don't see Claire. I just want to confirm. I saw Jojo was there. Emily Maynard. Tayshia. Emily Maynard. Did you see she just became a grandma? Because Riley had a baby. Yeah. Ricky. Mazel Tov. Where is Claire? I just want to confirm that I don't believe Claire was there. That's a good point. I know because I was looking to see.

29:13Jackie Oshry:I'm looking to see if anyone in the comments is like, where's Claire? oh Michelle Gabby Windy and she split the season with a girl named Michelle no with the pilot with Rachel Rachel sure Rachel the pilot Gabby Windy is not there

29:29Claudia Oshry:they love a pilot Gabby Windy's not there yeah I forgot about her I didn't watch that season

29:36Jackie Oshry:and I don't no one's like pointing oh Jen Tran she's like the most recent one and Michelle Young they're not there according to the comments i feel like sometimes when you come off of the show

29:48Claudia Oshry:like it might end badly and it's not until like years later where you're able to just want no part of it no no you're able to make peace with it and be like this was a nice thing that got me to where i am now but when you're so fresh off of it it's like fuck this toxic shit yeah okay

30:00Jackie Oshry:fuck this toxic do you know what i mean yeah of course i also forgot that there's like also beef between a lot of the ladies like caitlin bristow and tasha because remember caitlin was dating zach clark i forgot about that that's crazy yeah that's crazy okay so the thank you for like posting all the pictures the premiere is going to be good the premiere is going to be good are you ready for our next story a little casting news yeah sorry like not been calling me like i

30:27Claudia Oshry:literally like do the same thing every morning right like what are you calling me about but it makes you think like there's an emergency so let me just check he has a concussion well he must be concussed if he's calling me during the hours of 9 to 11 a.m. It's true but do you want to just check that everything's okay before we move forward? We don't want your mind elsewhere. Oh he's just being drama. We're fine. Yeah we're good. Our next story some casting news. Lily Collins will play Audrey Hepburn in a movie about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's. So Lily Collins will be playing Audrey Hepburn.

30:58Claudia Oshry:She will also serve as a producer for the project which is based on the Sam Wasson book Fifth Avenue 5 a.m. Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's in the dawn of the modern woman. Elena Smith, best known for creating the Apple TV series Dickinson, will write the script. Well, there has not been said.

31:15Jackie Oshry:I think people like wouldn't normally care about this as much as they do if it hadn't been for the last two years. Ariana Grande, like cosplaying as Audrey Hepburn, clearly like vying for the role, trying a little hard, in my opinion. And she didn't get it. Now, I want to say I don't feel like that's a reflection on Ari because I from the whole wicked thing. What my takeaway was that she's actually an insanely talented actress. I thought like she outacted a lot of her fellow professional actors. I think she might be like too big of a personality pop star Ari to play someone else who's just as big of a and I think Lily Collins is like just an actress.

31:50Jackie Oshry:You know, she becomes who she is like we don't know Lily and that's like how it's supposed to be. We know Emily. Right. We know Emily. We know Rosie was her name in that terrible movie. Remember we watched for Toast movie of the week? Yeah. So she just becomes and that's really what like a talented actress is supposed to do. So Ari is just kind of like cursed by her own stardom. Yeah. And I don't think she would have been good. So I think it's meant to be. But I know she's crushed.

32:14Claudia Oshry:Yeah, I'm sure she's crushed. But you know, this is that's like that's show business, baby. But I also feel like years ago, we reported that Lily Collins was going to play God. You have a now that we're talking about it. I'm having like a sense of deja vu. Yeah, I kind of am too. And is there only one Audrey movie being made right now? Because I also could see like, this is just a very siloed Audrey movie about the making It's not a biopic. Right. So like, there might be other roles out there for Ari and you know Hollywood likes to focus on one thing and make three different versions of it. Snow White.

32:41Claudia Oshry:Ari. Presley. Might have been vying for a different Audrey Hepburn movie.

32:46Jackie Oshry:But I just want to say, I don't think it's right for Ari's self. Like she was able to step into Glinda because Glinda is actually like a pop star, you know, it's like, it aligns. this Audrey thing, it's not the right role for her. And I'm sorry. I don't know. She needs to hear that hard truth. I think she could do it.

33:01Claudia Oshry:Yeah, she could do it, but I don't think it would be right. But also, like, she transformed herself physically to look, like, somewhat like Audrey Hepburn by the end of the press tour of Wicked. And Lily Collins just is Audrey Hepburn. You know, she just, like, wakes up and she doesn't have to, like, dye her hair and shave her eyebrows. Yeah. She just is her.

33:22Jackie Oshry:No, Ari's next big role is coming. I don't know what it is and like how you follow up a franchise like Wicked, but it's coming. Yeah.

33:29Claudia Oshry:There's a lot. I'm not worried about like her options. Does that look worried? No. There's a lot she could do.

33:34Jackie Oshry:And I personally like I'm ready for Lily Collins to move beyond Emily in Paris. Like because I'm ready for society to move beyond Emily in Paris. Because I'm ahead of the curve. Like I've been over it for years and I watched it. I gave it a chance. Like I know it was camp and stupid and like I got it after two seasons. Like it's so, I feel like it's actually been overall bad for Lily Collins. Cause I now think of her as like a joke actress when up until that point, like, did you ever see that movie about when she was like anorexic bones, bones, something. Oh my God. That fucking movie haunts my nightmares.

34:03Jackie Oshry:Like chilling performance. I do think she's like an underrated actress of our time. Nepo queen. But like this whole like show, I feel like it's actually like doing a lot of damage to her image.

34:13Claudia Oshry:Well, and just in the track that she was on. Cause now she's just like, cause she was like serious actress. And now she's just like Netflix goon. But like, we're always like telling more people to be Netflix goons. Are we? People who are serious, we're like, stop being so serious. Like do movies that people like. And people do like Emily in Paris. You know, we just happen to not like Emily in Paris, which is so off brand for us. No, it's not. I mean, it's off brand for you to never have even like watched the first. I watched the first season, maybe the second one. I really didn't like it. They did not need a third.

34:43Jackie Oshry:I felt like stupider for having watched it. Yeah. And it's crazy like the same person who created that created Sex and the City. Yeah. And younger. Younger. Younger. And I'm also ready for like Darren Star to do something new. Because I feel like whenever it's like a new Darren Star show, it's like everyone has to watch it. And he was batting a thousand up until this show.

35:02Claudia Oshry:But he, like the critics will say he's still batting a thousand. No, the critics won't. We are the outliers. No, we're not. No, we're not. I think a lot of people feel the way we feel about Emily in Paris. Like they watch it because it's stupid. Have you seen the TikToks of that girl who walks like, what's the name of the French boss? Yes.

35:23Jackie Oshry:Like Susie? No, it's like French.

35:27Claudia Oshry:She walks like. Sylvie. Sylvie. And she does TikToks of her walking like Sylvie. Let me tell you, I've only seen like one season of the show and I knew exactly what she was doing.

35:35Jackie Oshry:Do you know that in France, like Susie is like Madonna? Sylvie. Sylvie. She is like a Kate Moss type. Like she's like the most chic fashionista woman, like before Emily in Paris, like them getting her was the casting of a century. It's so funny. It's so funny. Well, congrats, Lily Collins. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? A million. It's a job a million girls, specifically one pop star dreamed of.

36:01Claudia Oshry:Yeah. But like the one you were born to do.

36:03Jackie Oshry:Yeah. Our next story is more casting news. Just really quick. Do you know, like one of the best songs of all time is written about Lily Collins, which is so crazy. Bill Collins. Who once so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you till you're safe and warm. But don't you cry. Cause you'll be in my heart. Yeah, that's like about Audrey Hepburn. Isn't that so crazy?

36:32Claudia Oshry:Yeah. And Tarzan. But like the inspiration. Let's talk about Tarzan.

36:38Jackie Oshry:Do we have to? What was that? No, I actually. What was Tarzan? I prefer, like I much prefer the adaptation like George of the Jungle. That Brendan Fraser movie was so fucking good. Yeah. And I feel like it was like a live action Tarzan, right?

36:55Claudia Oshry:I guess so. But it's just like the same concept of like man of the jungle.

36:59Jackie Oshry:It was kind of like elf. Like grew up raised by elves, grew up raised by wolves. And then I had to like go be normal.

37:05Claudia Oshry:Yeah.

37:06Jackie Oshry:I love that movie. It's a classic tale. Yeah. It's crazy that like the man, actually, this is crazy. You want to talk about range? Brendan Fraser played George of the Jungle and the whale. Yeah. Get you an actor who can do both.

37:18Claudia Oshry:Yeah. That's our boy.

37:20Jackie Oshry:That's our boy. And if you haven't seen, what's that movie? Embezzled? Bedazzled. Thank you. So good.

37:32Jackie Oshry:Invention of Lying. And I just want to say.

37:33Claudia Oshry:Invention of Lying.

37:34Jackie Oshry:If you've been listening to this show since Toast Movie of the Week, and you are still listening after I assigned Little Children the movie, you're a real one, and I see you. You guys, it was tough times. It was COVID. It was COVID.

37:47Claudia Oshry:We were just trying to get it done. To survive.

37:49Jackie Oshry:We were trying to do a daily show in one of the most tense, disgusting clients. When everybody has to stay home, no news. And they were canceling bitches on the internet right, left, and center. So of course, we were just trying to survive. We were just trying to watch movies and talk about them.

38:02Claudia Oshry:And have dinner on the roof. are you ready for our next story which is some more casting news oh yeah tom hanks will be playing his distant relative abraham lincoln in an upcoming movie i just feel like everyone who plays abraham lincoln is fucking insufferable because they have to go like full lincoln like log cabin i personally feel like i'm ready for an abraham lincoln movie yeah because what's funny

38:26Jackie Oshry:is we actually saw the daniel day lewis one and i remember falling asleep in the why did we see

38:31Claudia Oshry:that movie like at the time it was the biggest movie it was like you know when the oscar movies used to be like the most popular movies and like when they came out you saw you would go to the theater endeavored to see them i think it came out around like thanksgiving christmas we saw it as a family lincoln i passed out like one of the better naps i've ever taken yeah me too i remember i was

38:49Jackie Oshry:so hungover oh i wasn't hungover i was just bored like deadly hungover so and i forget what part of Abe's life the film you know zeroed in on because I forget because I was a slave and it's like

39:02Claudia Oshry:God forbid they give us a biopic instead it's like here's the 10 days where he wrote the Degettysburg address right it's like Jackie right the 10 days after it's like my weekend with Marilyn you're making a movie about Marilyn Monroe it's about a weekend that's why I like those like

39:16Jackie Oshry:Bohemian Rhapsody type of movie musicals to nuts birth to death like I don't want to have to see multiple movies or like multiple films just tell me everything i need to know about this person

39:26Claudia Oshry:elvis that's why audrey what's coming is just like it's zeroed in on breakfast anyways tom hanks will be playing abraham lincoln an upcoming biopic lincoln in the bardo is based on george saunders's best-selling novel of the same name it will star tom as abraham lincoln it will be a hybrid movie combining live action filmmaking and stop motion animation how's right so i want to

39:50Jackie Oshry:say one thing i've seen a lot of tom hanks movies and like i agree he's amazing big toy story forrest gump i like how the first one i said was big that would be so good um and i actually recently saw sully captain phillips phillips i recently saw elvis like a film of his that where he played like a real life historical person i forget what the name of the movie was they were treating spies Something like Russia, we captured someone.

40:19Claudia Oshry:I'll Google it.

40:20Jackie Oshry:And he was like a U.S. hostage negotiator. And you're sure it's a true story? Yeah. A man called Otto? No, I definitely didn't see that. It was called like, in the final scene, they're like on a bridge and they trade. Saving Private Ryan? No, they trade the two prisoners of war. Yeah, I think it's like Mr. Gorbachev era. Okay, I'm looking. It wasn't called like Spotlight. It was called. Bridge of Spies. Yes. Oh yeah, because the movie ends on a bridge and they're trading spies Thank you And I just want to say, it was kind of distracting I don't think he was good at it And I feel like he's a really talented actor Especially in fictional characters He really made Forrest Gump And I don't know, I don't feel like his strong suit Is playing people who already exist

41:03Claudia Oshry:Like Sully in Captain Phillips?

41:06Jackie Oshry:Yeah

41:06Claudia Oshry:Okay, he was really good at Sully Was he? I think Sully is just a remarkable man

41:11Jackie Oshry:I agree, the story itself is remarkable

41:13Claudia Oshry:I actually like don't think I liked the movie that much when I think about it.

41:17Jackie Oshry:They had to add drama when it was actually just like a beautiful tale of heroism.

41:21Claudia Oshry:Right. And they had to add that like he was fighting the board of transportation. When the board of transportation was like, thanks for saving all those lives. Sully, here's a medal of honor. Right. But in the movie, they're like, you went about it the wrong way. Right. Yeah. As if. So. Da Vinci Code.

41:35Jackie Oshry:Yeah. I guess like he is a good actor. I'm just like always like finding reasons. You know, I just start being more positive. So this is amazing. I personally can't wait.

41:43Claudia Oshry:I'm excited for some Lincoln up in here.

41:45Jackie Oshry:But I want to know who's playing Mary Todd, you know? Mary Todd Lincoln? Yeah. I'm not seeing. And I guess since it's Abe Lincoln played by Tom Hanks, it's going to be like an older Abe. Maybe it's like around the assassination. So we need like an older woman. Maybe Rita.

41:59Claudia Oshry:Also. Rita! Tom Hanks is a distant cousin of Abraham Lincoln's mother. Oh, so it's a Nepo casting. Okay, cool. Well, no, that's cool. That's like, you know, Michael Jackson's nephew playing him.

42:12Jackie Oshry:nephew is like different than like you had to check ancestry.com to make sure you shared like one cousin that's like julia roberts is actually related to martin luther king that's beautiful something like that and emma roberts of course and the other one emma's dad i don't know he's someone i believe it um okay so congrats tom i didn't know he was like still actively like acting. Yeah, no, he is. I feel he's more of like a behind the scenes producer. No, I feel like he puts himself in everything. I just want to say, I was like half expecting to find his name in Epstein files, but he, as far as I know, is not in there.

42:48Claudia Oshry:Oh, he's clear?

42:49Jackie Oshry:Because his name gets thrown in. Anytime they talk about the ring of Hollywood pedophilia, it's always like Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. But it's not, it's like... You're saying it's like a different ring. It's not the Epstein ring? No, no, no. I'm saying I actually feel like, that's like

43:04Claudia Oshry:empty, you know?

43:06Jackie Oshry:Yeah, like the blinds are always saying it's Tom Hanks, but so I'm saying if he was this sort of like leader, he would have been an Epstein file, so I do feel like... But he also might

43:12Claudia Oshry:have just like run in a different circle of fabulous circle of friends.

43:16Jackie Oshry:I know, but like if you are in a circle, like your circle was gonna like Venn diagram with Epstein's. So I feel like the Epstein files have actually been really good for Tom Hanks, and maybe that's why he's acting now. Yeah, and he like feels ready to get back out there, get after it. Yeah, because I like read those blinds, and I was like, oh, he probably like, just like, I always sat in the back of my mind like yeah Tom Hanks you know but now you don't no I really don't that's good yeah oh my god remember when Tom Hanks like invented COVID in America because he got it in Australia he was like the first person to get it that was such a crazy time I forgot about that it was such a crazy time and then I was just reminded of during COVID do you remember when John Krasinski started his like Instagram show Some Good News and sold it to CBS for a hundred million dollars and never

43:57Claudia Oshry:made another episode ever again yeah so like when that happens he gets a hundred million dollars

44:02Jackie Oshry:they get the name sometimes those buyouts are like earnings based like you'll get 100 million when the show generates XYZ so maybe he didn't get it or maybe it was just an outright purchase no but like even if

44:12Claudia Oshry:they're earnings based you get a base like you don't just come in with zero so like he definitely got a lump sum at some point you know he got a huge of millions of dollars and then CBS was just like well actually we don't want to do anything with Some Good News

44:25Jackie Oshry:so Some Good News is an Instagram account with over and it has the same logo as so it's the same one It's an Instagram account that shares positive good news, like Tanks Good News. It has over a million followers. It last posted four days ago, and they kind of just like re... It's like a buzzfeed. Wow, there hasn't been good news in four days? I mean, that's true. What do you mean, USA? They aggregate content from other people. They don't have a website or anything. I can't imagine it's generating$100 million a year. I like that. What a griff. I just, yeah, I just saw somebody do like a Twitter thread about like the grift that was Some Good News.

45:04Jackie Oshry:And it reminded me like, yeah, he was going live on Instagram. And then like I was like, he got acquired for$100 million like a month later.

45:12Claudia Oshry:I can't. Wow. Good for him. You know. John Krasinski. Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

45:17Jackie Oshry:Some Good News was a popular YouTube web series created and hosted by John Krasinski during the COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring uplifting stories and celebrity guests to provide a break from negative news. It launched in 2020, gained massive popularity for its feel-good content, including virtual reunions, tributes to health care workers, before he sold the rights to Viacom CBS in May 2020. So he started in March and in two months, March, April, April, May, made$100 million. And it's now on CBS All Access, Paramount Plus and Comedy Central. And what is it when you go there? So on the YouTube channel, which I assume he sold, the last video was five years ago.

45:51Jackie Oshry:him and Dwayne Johnson just like you know but you know they like it was getting 10 million views per episode like on YouTube 20 million 5 million 13 million 6 million so like but how is that like somebody maybe I don't understand business okay so maybe the next businessman of the week could be the person who explains to me like how that was a good investment but we should also have like

46:11Claudia Oshry:the worst businessman of the week oh my god I love that where people like so whoever like people who flop so I would also say like the person at HBO who keeps keeps going back and forth yeah max yep yep yep um i would put him in but also like the person who acquired some good news and then never did anything with it do you know what i could do with a hundred million do you know who should be businessman of the week in that scenario john krasinski don't hate the player i hate the game that's what i said of course that's what i said yeah like don't hate us because you ain't us

46:41Jackie Oshry:like emily blunt needs more money like i'm like i fully am endorse that yeah he's a mother they like fund their own projects, quiet place. Like I feel good about the hundred mil. Yeah. But as a business owner myself,

46:53Claudia Oshry:I'm like, what am I missing? And like, no, but also for the Krasinski stands, like, don't you feel a little stupid?

46:58Jackie Oshry:You got played.

46:59Claudia Oshry:Like, I can say, like it was like, yeah, I want to put out good news, but I more so want a hundred million dollars. Yeah.

47:05Jackie Oshry:Like it seemed like it was an earnest project, but in reality it was just like corporate capitalism at its worst.

47:12Claudia Oshry:I don't want to share good news more than I want a hundred million dollars. Yeah. Because he stopped sharing good news after. Right. So it's like, it's good news. At what cost? Good news has a price. So like, don't forget about the SGN rabbit hole, okay? And thank you to the person on Twitter who reminded me of that. Thank you for sharing with the class. Our next story, Harry Styles is set as the SNL-hosted musical guest in March after his new album release. Let's talk about Aperture. Aperture-pature.

47:40Jackie Oshry:That was his big mistake. Releasing a song that starts with AP. Because there's only one song that can start with AP.

47:46Claudia Oshry:I just want to say on Aperture Day, I endeavored to listen. We discussed it. I never saw, heard, thought or talked about it again. I don't even see it like in content on reels and stories.

47:58Jackie Oshry:Yeah. So often like when a song gets released by like a major artist, even if I don't like it, I end up hearing it on TikTok, in grocery stores, on the radio. Like I'll end up knowing the whole song and probably liking it just for sheer exposure. I agree. after I listened to it a couple of times like on my own I never even on TikTok which is crazy why like it's a flop yeah or am I just like not operating in the right circles like let's ask

48:24Claudia Oshry:Margo oh yeah ask is Aperture a flop should I FaceTime her oh sure let's see if she wants to

48:30Jackie Oshry:be on the show tell her we're recording say her hi we're recording so don't like you know say your ATM pin, but as our resident music person, young person, would you consider Aperture by Harry Styles to be a flop or a success? And I'm going to turn you around so everyone can see you. So fix your angle.

48:50Claudia Oshry:Oh, sorry. Hold on. Hey, guys. Hi. I love you. You know, it's so funny. I was just thinking about that. I think it was a banger maybe when it came out, but I think it is now kind of become a flop.

49:02Jackie Oshry:And can you sing it for us? Like, I don't even recognize it.

49:07Claudia Oshry:Aperture let's delight in Sounds good when Margo sings it It sounds like it's aperture let's delight in No I just feel like it's not on the radio waves I'm not hearing it in every target that I go to

49:20Jackie Oshry:Wait is it like on TikTok? Like it was when it came out Because everyone was excited about it But I don't know that it has staying power It doesn't have legs Okay so we just wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything

49:31Claudia Oshry:No no no you guys seem to be on point

49:32Jackie Oshry:Thanks so much Love you. And I sent you, I made a TikTok. I sent it to you. Is it mean? You didn't watch it? No, I haven't seen it yet. It's about you. Go watch it. Oh, I'm so scared. All right. Show me. Bye. So still funny. Margot left a comment on my TikTok yesterday being like, let me read it to you exactly. Okay. Sorry. Once you don't have a TikTok, you're like missing out on like sister stuff.

49:53Claudia Oshry:That's okay.

49:53Jackie Oshry:I haven't. She said, it said, that's a nice lip color. And it's like, oh, well, that's nice. My sister's complimenting me. But I knew there was more there there. And I explained in the TikTok why Margot. Show me this. funny about having a sister now this is my sister okay she's giving me a compliment isn't that so nice and i know this bitch so well i gave her a compliment on saturday and she always makes it a big deal she says i'm like her biggest hater i'm always saying like fix your hair fix your face

50:15Claudia Oshry:you literally said that in the video she's so pretty because she went out on saturday night

50:18Jackie Oshry:and she was like wow thanks and i was like you're welcome like maybe if you slayed more you would get more compliments i'm such a bitch and it's clear that like she needs to pay me back so that we're even and so she says that's a nice lip color and i just know it like pained her so thank you

50:31Claudia Oshry:this isn't a nice lip color let me show you how i got it so um yeah that's what's going on on tiktok oh wow like i said i have inner peace um and calm just not closeness with your sisters

50:43Jackie Oshry:really yeah i would say i'm the glue okay well somebody who's not the glue would say i am so the glue i uh you are rubber and i am glue i am so the glue okay so how do we get to harry styles He's performing SNL, The Works, et cetera, Aperture. I think he needs some more zhuzhing. Maybe he thought he was at a place where he could release music and not have to work so hard. You know, he did that whole press tour from his couch. He didn't even show up to a studio to do radio. So I think maybe he thought he was at the level. And maybe at one point he was, but he took a big break. And now you have to put your big boy pants on and go to work.

51:19Claudia Oshry:No, and everybody is out there. Even if they just drop an album in the middle of the night, they then get after it. You know, Adele, Beyonce, Taylor, everyone does it. So I don't know why like he would think that he doesn't have to. Yeah, he's not exempt. No, he's not.

51:36Jackie Oshry:And also as like a man excelling in a woman's field, you have to constantly be doing more. Like he is one of the only male pop stars, as it should be. Like, sorry, pop stardom is for girls.

51:46Claudia Oshry:Unless like the music is going to stand alone. But it doesn't. Much like the cheese. Much like like Bruno Mars. He doesn't have to do press. Give us a song and it's a hit. And that's it. Bruno go back to the casino. So like,

51:59Jackie Oshry:if you are going to try and keep up with like your fellow pop girlies, like they are, they do the most, like you were saying, even the big ones, even Taylor. So like you just sort of releasing a mid song and doing press from your couch using wired headphones. It's not going to cut it in the age of, you know, Adele, Beyonce, Taylor Swift.

52:18Claudia Oshry:Do you use wired headphones? I do. Because of the electrons.

52:23Jackie Oshry:Um, not so much like electrons more so. I can't like keep up with having another device. Do you know what I mean? The connecting to Bluetooth, the charging, the having to put them back in the case. Like I just had a baby. Like I don't have the spiritual bandwidth to also have like another device.

52:42Claudia Oshry:So it's not about like the radio waves going through your brain?

52:45Jackie Oshry:No, it's really not. Like it's hard for me to like believe things that I can't say. Do you know what I mean?

52:53Claudia Oshry:But when you just think about it. Sure. like it seems like yeah that's probably happening sure waves in the brain sure yeah i'm a wired

53:03Jackie Oshry:girl i'm a wired girl too which is an imperfect solution mind you i'm always untangling them yeah um but again they never die on me like what's worse than having a pair of airpods that you can't fucking use because they're dead like that's insane no whether they're like connected to someone over there oh and that's the other thing like ben all the headphones in my house like if you ask ben like they're communal so like i'll plug them in and all of a sudden i'm on a spritz call like it's crazy oh damn yeah it's bad because they like go to ben's computer he just

53:29Claudia Oshry:picks up whatever headphones he finds yeah ben once left a pair of airpods at my house and then he put them in lost mode oh my god so they started he couldn't find them and they would just like

53:38Jackie Oshry:ring all the time i've said this before and i'll say it again my husband is the craziest person he

53:43Claudia Oshry:is and i don't know how he got that way like he's so crazy he's so crazy sometimes he'll do stuff even the way he like just cuts a tomato. He took Advil.

53:54Jackie Oshry:Like he needed to wash it down with something and he opened a jar of pickles and like drank the pickle juice. Only a genuinely fucking crazy person would do that. And he didn't think it was weird at all.

54:06Claudia Oshry:Yeah. Like that's not like, that's not option one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or 10.

54:12Jackie Oshry:I would sooner, like if I had nothing else except pickle juice, it wouldn't even occur to me to drink it. I would just dry swallow.

54:16Claudia Oshry:Or like the sink. The sink, yeah. Is there a sink? are you ready for our fifth and final story a little trait as news right as this is actually really crazy and like colton never meeting the stalker allegations well oh you think so lisa rinna fears that she was drugged at a traitors premiere party lisa rinna is on a press tour for her book so she's she's drumming up a lot of press plus she's talking about traitors and i don't know

54:39Jackie Oshry:if it's lisa herself or somebody who works for her like tells her all the internet lore because she gives the people exactly what they want yeah we wanted someone from traitors to start talking about like the stalker allegations especially it would have been nice if it was the person who colton said he was going to kidnap and lisa renna said you ask i deliver so lisa reportedly suspects

54:56Claudia Oshry:that she was drugged at the season four premiere party of traders on january 8th her traders cast mate colton underwood first became concerned when he noticed she was completely inebriated at the party even though she hadn't had that much to drink sources told tmz he then notified her team who took her out of the party um the outlet reports it's unclear if police were called or if Rinna went to the hospital, they reached out to reps for comment. So Lisa said that her and Colton weren't beefing until the reunion. Which is after the premiere party. Right. So at the premiere party, they were good.

55:26Claudia Oshry:So I actually read this as Colton being a hero. Oh, I completely agree, by the way.

55:31Jackie Oshry:I wasn't saying that I thought he drugged her, but it's so unfortunate that a woman was drugged and Colton was there. Do you know what I mean? And he was the one who ended up helping her, which if I'm the person who drugged, I'd also be the one to help. I'm not saying that it's him. I'm just saying. It's just unfortunate for Colton. Like it's just another headline that he's attached to where like it's unfortunate.

55:50Claudia Oshry:But I think in this one he comes off looking good. But maybe that's.

55:54Jackie Oshry:It depends on your like your outlook.

55:56Claudia Oshry:And your like serious suspicion of Colton. Yeah.

56:00Jackie Oshry:And I don't think Colton is like a serial stalker. I don't think he like gets off. No. I think like he had a really, really bad moment or like a bad, you know, couple of maybe a year. and he did really bad things. But I believe now he knows that those things were bad and wrong. I don't think that I'm ever going to move past those bad and wrong things. But I don't think, like when he said the hostage thing, I don't think he's taking women for hostage as hobby.

56:25Claudia Oshry:No, and if anyone else said it, we wouldn't even think twice. I don't think he's drugging women at parties. He's on his best motherfucking behavior. Yeah, so this is just really crazy. Who done it then?

56:38Jackie Oshry:I don't know.

56:39Claudia Oshry:Like, are we really still drugging people? Like. Did you see also that TikTok from Wishbone Kitchen a couple weeks ago? I did. That was so horrible. Insane story. Insane story. And insane the way that she, like, shared it. Because she had been sharing. She didn't share it at the time. No, she never shared it. And then she was just, like, posting a video that she's traveling. And she has anxiety about traveling. And people were like. This is so dramatic. Like, you're spoiled. And then you travel. It's so hard for you. And she was like, well, I actually have anxiety. She went on to explain why she has anxiety when she travels because she one time went to LA and she was like drugged.

57:10Claudia Oshry:At like a Hollywood party. Yeah. And kidnapped. Yeah. And so, yeah, she has anxiety when she travels. You feel better now? Yeah. Insane. Insane. Really, really scary. Yeah.

57:19Jackie Oshry:Oh, Dear Toasters.

57:20Claudia Oshry:Dear Toasters, those are the Fast Five stories that you needed to know.

57:24Jackie Oshry:And the Fast Five stories that you needed to know are brought to you by Built Rewards. So it's 2026. If you pay rent and you're doing it without Built, it's definitely time for a change. Build is the loyalty program that renters, for renters, that rewards you for your biggest monthly expense, which is rent. I'm a proud renter, and I can acknowledge that it's an imperfect system, right? Like, there's so many great benefits of being a renter, but at the end of the day, it does feel like every month when you send that check or you send that wire, like, you are just throwing money down the toilet.

57:50Jackie Oshry:Well, Build makes it feel a lot better. It's a loyalty program for renters that's going to reward you with points and exclusive benefits in your neighborhood. So every rent payment that you pay earns you points that can be used towards flights, hotel, Lyft rides, Amazon.com purchases. However, you would use points that you've used for ages, you can use Bilt points on. So something we're really excited about is that now Bilt members can earn points on mortgage payments for the first time. That means that you can get rewarded wherever you live, unlock exclusive benefits for more than 45 ,000 restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, and other neighborhood partners.

58:20Jackie Oshry:So I like to redeem my points always on travel, whether that's airlines, flights. I'm friends with the points guy, like not to make it a big deal. And he has kind of like created a prodigy in me. You're his prodigy.

58:31Claudia Oshry:No, I am.

58:32Jackie Oshry:Like when I first met him, I didn't even have any credit cards. And now like Brian, I've had a built card for years. I feel like everybody has one now. I was one of the first people to get one because Brian told me about it. It's very simple. Paying rent is just better with built. And now owning a home can be better with built too because you can earn rewards and get something back wherever you live. So join the loyalty program for renters at joinbuilt.com slash toast.

1:01:04Jackie Oshry:Okay, dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where we try to help out our listeners in need. If you guys ever need anything from us, you find yourself in a predicament at work, in your relationship with a friend, and you think like, you know what I would love to get advice from? Jackie and Claudia. We do it every week. It's tough love. It's the things you need to hear. It's Dear Toasters. If you want to write in, deartosters at gmail.com is the email account. Or you can just head over to thetoastpodcast.com. There's a little submission box. Anonymous. No problem. Hello, Swirlies. I need some outside perspective on a little Valentine's Day drama with my husband.

1:01:33Jackie Oshry:Every year, all I ask for is chocolate-covered strawberries and flowers. It's our little tradition.

1:01:37Claudia Oshry:That's so cute.

1:01:38Jackie Oshry:Yeah. I should add chocolate-covered strawberries to the mix. Well, last year I found out that he's also been buying the same exact thing from the exact same place for all of his female employees every Valentine's Day. Apparently he's been doing this the entire five years we've been together and I just did not know. I'm not threatened by the employees at all. That's not the issue. What bothered me was finding out on Valentine's Day that the gift that I thought was special to our relationship was also the same gift he gives to the staff. It made me feel less special and honestly kind of ruined the day for me.

1:02:05Jackie Oshry:Am I wrong for feeling hurt by that or should I just appreciate that he got me something and he's generous and kind to others? No, I'm sorry. that's really like disgusting no i mean that's fucking crazy and it's just crazy and like

1:02:17Claudia Oshry:it's valentine's day you don't need to get something for your employees so like it doesn't and if you want to say the fact that he's like a male employer who like gets like a little something for the females in his office i'm but he's a little something and it's the same level

1:02:28Jackie Oshry:of something as his lady love i'm thinking he's a doctor and like all the nurses that's the vibe that i'm getting and it's like sweet if he had put like you know chocolate heart-shaped subdub a Russell Stover's would do the trick. But the fact that like you have this cute little thing and he's sharing it with others. The fact that like your gift is the same as his employee's gift and he doesn't see that as weird. Like I hate this. You're so justified. Like and we need to riot.

1:02:55Claudia Oshry:But it's not a deal breaker. It's just like not totally right. I think his heart's in the right place. But lazy. He could step it up for you. But if this is your thing and you like how it is and I think that that's really nice. Like, yeah, a couple chocolate kisses is enough for the ladies at work. Yeah. And they have their own val and galentines, you know? Not everyone does. And so it's like sweet. No, but I'm not looking to my work to celebrate Valentine's Day.

1:03:21Jackie Oshry:Valentine's Day is like now like a corporate holiday in the sense that like it's just an excuse for people to eat and like put up decorations. Like actually, where was I? Was I at like an urgent care or something? And it was Valentine's Day and they have like little decorations of like how you do Halloween. It's like a home goods holiday, you know? Yeah, sure. It's sweet.

1:03:37Claudia Oshry:Yeah, but it's like if the ladies in the office are suffering because their boss didn't celebrate Valentine's Day enough. They're not suffering. Thoroughly enough, it's okay.

1:03:45Jackie Oshry:We don't need to get rid of the presents for the ladies, too. Like, it's a nice thing if you go to work and you get a chocolate. A little chocolate or something. Yeah, like get a box of donuts from, you know, they have the heart-shaped brownie batter donuts from Dunkin'. Like, get that for the whole office. Yeah. You should tell him that. It hurts your feelings. And have you been holding on to this secret for a year like you found out last year and now another Valentine's Day has come to pass? No, I feel like she found out this year. No, she said I found out last year. Oh. And maybe she hasn't said anything because she doesn't know if it's like overreaction.

1:04:10Jackie Oshry:I'm just letting you know you're underreacting.

1:04:12Claudia Oshry:Yeah. Yeah. It's not like, yeah, at the end of the day, it's just, it's not that like anything wrong is happening, but it's just, you want to feel special.

1:04:20Jackie Oshry:He needs to be told. Yeah. Hey, Jackson Turdy. My husband and I are high school sweethearts. We've been together since we were 15. We were each other's first and only partners. We have three kids. We very much exist in the roommate phase of life right now. I was cleaning recently and I stumbled across something hidden, clearly. I took it out and it was a very large anatomically correct dildo. I called my husband in and asked what it was. He said it's his. He said he sat it for a few years. He was too embarrassed to tell me, but he uses it on himself. I'm very weirded out and also feel very betrayed and insecure.

1:04:48Jackie Oshry:I feel very insecure in my postpartum body right now. Our sex life is not the most active. I flat out asked if he's attracted to men. He said no, but that he just likes us. I could tell that he was very embarrassed. I don't want him to be ashamed, but I also don't know how to get past it, especially because he's been hiding it for the last two years. I don't know what to do or how to move on. Please help.

1:05:05Claudia Oshry:I just want to say like your postpartum body, like it's irrelevant.

1:05:09Jackie Oshry:I appreciate you like maybe trying to take like some onus here,

1:05:11Claudia Oshry:but like this is not on you. Like it doesn't give or take away a penis for you. Right.

1:05:16Jackie Oshry:So the age old question, do you feel like this is just like a gay thing? I just want to say being into that stuff does not automatically make you like have gay afflictions. The hiding of it for like your high school sweetheart, like this is the great love of your life that you should be able to share and the hiding of it is

1:05:36Claudia Oshry:the only thing that gives me like a little bit of pause yeah and like it could be something that you do together if of course if you're just like being open and sharing with your partner married couples like married couples should go there they can get down and you should in like a fun safe way but yes the hiding of it gives like i have a big secret i wouldn't let this go i would like talk

1:05:58Jackie Oshry:more yeah unless like you think he's gay and you're just not interested in getting divorced right now and like you're okay with like living that's i just want to say like some people do that and like you know what maybe you don't want to know more yeah like your kids are little like you'll figure this out in 10 years yeah you can't push someone out of the closet i just don't i don't think you don't want to rock the boat i don't i don't think having this specific kink like is an automatic gay i just want to say that i don't mean either but it's surprising to hear

1:06:24Claudia Oshry:you say it because you know someone could breathe the wrong way and they're gay well breathing is

1:06:29Jackie Oshry:like a very personal thing yeah um I don't think that that means he's gay but the hiding in secret and let's see if he wants to can do if he's like open to continue talking about it then I think like you're in the clear but if he's very defensive um if he doesn't want to do it together if he doesn't want to do it together I can understand hiding like a kink that like you think maybe your wife will think yeah and she has a lot going on and it's like you know if you're

1:06:54Claudia Oshry:breastfeeding you just had a baby and you're like hey can you put this up my butt like get out of here right not right now like not right now not right now i'm busy right so that's actually really

1:07:03Jackie Oshry:thoughtful that's beautiful i like the positive spin you're putting on this so my advice would be to talk about it more get like a read and open like you need to be down to clown and if he just wants to continue putting this thing up his butt like by himself you might have a problem but by

1:07:19Claudia Oshry:himself but like if he's not interested in bringing this like sexual fantasy to the bedroom agreed but like if he were to stay doing it by himself like that would be flexible okay that would be better than like the next step which is like finding something real live that's the way you should feel your whole life you know like so yes hopefully you guys can bond over this

1:07:52period period i don't know i would i would definitely try to like make it a great activity

1:07:59Jackie Oshry:and see how that goes oh i chose oh let me see which one i want to do next hmm what i'm gonna do both oh wow okay this one's easy hey swirlies i'm a glp Thank you.

1:08:16Jackie Oshry:This was actually very easy. I'm a GLP one toaster and I've lost 70 pounds. I'm studying abroad in Europe this summer in the apartment that I'm staying out. I just found out has no refrigerator. College.

1:08:26Claudia Oshry:Are you going to be okay? She's studying abroad. Why?

1:08:30Jackie Oshry:Because we have a young listener. Oh no. Why? We have so many young listeners. It's not a big deal. I just found out that the apartment I'm staying has no refrigerator, meaning I can't bring my Ozempic. I'm sick thinking about the weight I'm going to gain back. Should I cancel my whole semester abroad? Girl, get a mini fridge. Even like the ones that they make for skincare, don't keep anything else in it. You just need an outlet. I'm sure like Europeans don't have mini fridges. Oh, I was going to say, like everyone says you lose weight in Europe.

1:08:53Claudia Oshry:Like maybe try. That's true. Like maybe you can be fit, live the European lifestyle and you don't need a GLP-1. Oh, you need the GLP-1. Get a mini fridge. You can always get a mini fridge, but like that's not the worst place to have to be off of Ozempic.

1:09:06Jackie Oshry:And this is why I don't mess around with Europe. I just want to say, I know they don't believe in air conditioning and like they don't put ice in their water. And now they also don't have refrigerators. I just love America. I just, I want, I want that to be just my final piece here. Yeah. You should absolutely go and you should bring your Ozempic with you and like seriously get a hotel room.

1:09:21Claudia Oshry:Well, I feel like if she could bring her Ozempic and like this were a quick solve, she would. I feel like she's asking. I really don't think she's thought beyond like

1:09:29Jackie Oshry:either there's no fridge and I can't bring it.

1:09:31Claudia Oshry:But what if like the fridge that you would plug in, you know, short circuits the breaker? Like what if the European electric?

1:09:36Jackie Oshry:No, she can't bring one. She has to buy one, but they don't have mini fridges in Europe? They don't have fridges.

1:09:42Claudia Oshry:They definitely have mini fridges in Europe. Perhaps. But what if she's staying like in a little village? Do they have mini fridges in Europe? You know how you can't use a blow dryer? Right. Maybe they can't use the refrigerator. I'm just saying like maybe just try living the European lifestyle. Like it's a very healthy lifestyle.

1:09:58Jackie Oshry:You'll find them in hotels, student housing, and small apartments. Okay. Girl, get a mini fridge.

1:10:03Claudia Oshry:Okay, great.

1:10:04Jackie Oshry:That wasn't like a real submission. I saw a fellow GOP sister in need. We needed like an amuse-bouche. Hey, girlies. I love the podcast and I need some advice. A friend of mine got married about a year and a half ago. We are not super close, but I went to the wedding and I wrote them a check as a gift. A few months went by and I noticed that the check was never cashed. After texting my friend and learning that they didn't ever see my card or the check, I Venmoed them for the amount. Skip forward. She cashed her check. Over a year later, I noticed that they cashed the original check. My bank even shows me a photo of the cashed check.

1:10:31Jackie Oshry:So it was definitely that check. Now I've gifted them double the original amount. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but I'm saving for a house and the whole thing has just really rubbed me the wrong way. What are the chances that this was an honest mistake on their part? Do I say something or just let it go?

1:10:42Claudia Oshry:I imagine that I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that this was an honest mistake. Like there's a lot of gifts flying. Because it was a year later. Checks flying. Oh, we found this check. I can imagine you open a desk drawer, you find a check that you didn't cash. But like if you write someone a check and they don't cash it, that is on them. I agree. But they said something to her. Right. If you're worried that they didn't see it, you could flag it and be like, hey, I got you this check. I just want to make sure you got my gift. But like sometimes people, But like I actually have a check in my wallet that was a gift that I have not cashed yet.

1:11:08Claudia Oshry:Same. And that person should not Venmo me the money because it's now to me to go cash my check. I agree. The fact that this person had the actual gall to like reach out to you a year after and being like, hey, we never got your wedding gift. Oh, is that what happened? No, she reached out and said, hey, did you get my check? Oh, that's your fault. Yeah, don't follow up on the check. You did your part. You're being like way too extra. Now this is the price you pay. Right. For being like generous and dotting your T's and checking your eyes. Yeah, it's like too much, you know, like some like you don't have to be like.

1:11:34Jackie Oshry:that much like you did you sent a gift so that's the lesson here like when you give a check the check is the gift and what happens after that it's like seriously not your problem and if the person loses the check they don't get to come and ask you hey can I get another check this is the expensive way you had to learn the lesson drop it yeah I'm sorry that you're saving for a house for everyone else you weren't generous for everyone else out there you don't need to like

1:11:54Claudia Oshry:follow up on your check and your gift like you did your part agreed the envelope is the gift

1:11:58Jackie Oshry:yeah it's the same way if you bought someone a sweater and they lost the sweater are you going to replace it this is an American Express like no you bought someone a sweater and they never

1:12:04Claudia Oshry:wore the sweater so you bought them a different sweater and then turned out they liked the sweater now they're wearing two sweaters and like yeah no crazy not your problem you had to learn this lesson i'm sure you're overly generous like that's really you're gonna go to a lot of weddings in your life and you know what you learn the hard way yeah sorry that happened wishing you the best yeah they didn't do anything wrong other than just like being like not you know having organized yeah
