0:00Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast and Happy The Husday. That feels like a real Thursday. You know what I'm saying? You know, that's not been my experience. Oh my God, just once, like just agree. Like for the sake of agreeing, like nobody cares. My, excuse me? Like it's not that deep. Like, yeah, it feels like a Thursday. Oh, cause it is. Like it's not that deep. Okay, it feels like a Thursday. Yes, I'm so glad you agree. Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. you look gorgeous we're both wearing just kind of like comfy cozy energy today we're giving gym I'm right sometimes there's nothing cuter than a gray like zip up hoodie I stole this from Olivia and she's not getting it back sorry gray is tough for me um now that I've discovered that I think I'm a winter okay so like I don't know is gray a winter or a spring definitely not a spring it Maybe in autumn.

0:58You should just get your colors done. I know for the amount that I talk about it. Yeah. I think I have some an email in my inbox. I need to read it and see if the person's in Florida because then we should do it while you're here. Patreon. Oh, speaking of Patreon, probably up today. I started the editing process last night. I vlogged my whole evening last night, which was my book club with my private chef, Catered Affair. It was so good. The book club, like everyone's talking about it. Everyone said it was like one of our best meetings yet. The food was so good. The conversation was so good. It's really a great book club book.

1:29Everyone liked the book, had a lot of very strong critiques of the book. Did you hear about Kitty Carr? It was the name of the book. Really just kind of like a textbook. Perfect evening. And a great book club book, you would say? Yeah. I'm like very frustrated. It was the author's first debut novel, which is so major. I almost wish she had waited to tell the story. She had a little bit more experience under her belt because she tried to do a little too much. And by the end of the book, it's like she ruined the magic she had created in the middle. and it was on its way to being like one of my favorite books ever wow and I like was so frustrated with it like I kind of hate it now it's it's very confusing and everybody was feeling the same way got it interesting what are you guys reading next uh we'll find out today very cool well redheads speaking of book clubs we are reading actually this is kind of exciting big redheads news oh my god hold your gird your loins we're reading the frozen river by aria lawin who wrote Codename Helene.

2:27Okay. Which makes this our first time that we're doing an author twice on the Redheads and she's our I didn't I didn't think it would be her but it's her. Yeah but like who else would it be? Like it could be you know one of the classics Sally Hepworth. Yeah. Jessica Knoll. Yeah yeah. Chris Kinn-Hannah. Yeah yeah yeah. But it's Arielle Lawin which I love that for her. I loved Codename Helene so I'm really excited for Frozen River. It's a historical fiction book. It's haven't done historical fiction at the redheads in a while and in my personal life i've kind of been slipping on my historical fiction we caught we caught jack slipping caught me slipping so i kind of need to get back into the history books and i think that's a good way to dip my toe into the frozen river i am so excited to see you in just a mere you know two days hours technically Hours at this point.

3:19I'm giddy with excitement. I can't wait to see my family. And it's just, it's the end of the week. I'm seeing my family. It's the Super Bowl. I have my health. No, it's, everything's kind of coming up. Excitement, joyousness. Positivity. Fun, fun, fun. I'm going to leave it at that.

3:47i couldn't agree more so important like when you're at you know the summit of something is that the right use of the word is the summit at the top or the way up like it's like you're at the edge of the cliff like you're like there you're there okay so okay i guess maybe no maybe that wouldn't i feel like all i'm trying to say is like i feel like a huge part of like maintaining a healthy mindset in life is like to acknowledge like exciting things coming and like I in this moment I just want to be very present saying I'm so excited for what's to come for me in the next couple of days the summit is the highest point okay so I guess I'm like about to to reach the summit and I'm sitting here like taking a moment of gratitude yeah and I think the way to the on the way to the summit is in some ways better than the summit I would agree because you have what to look forward to that's really the message of the climb yeah so once again the climb it's always relevant once again everything comes back to the climb well that's the truth I've been in such a miley renaissance since the grammys I've been listening to endless summer vacation because I was like I want more of this girl of that energy what I didn't realize is the song used to be young which is one of my favorite songs of last year we talked about it on the patreon of 2023 recap is from that album yeah I thought it was like a new single she was doing new things so I'm like okay so there are two songs that are kind of like life-changing for me from that album yeah I need to listen to the whole album and I only got into four songs before I was forced to play happy song oh my book club was talking about happy song is it really life saving for them as well some of the mothers in book club they were familiar with the happy song and then some of the newer mothers hadn't heard of it yet and this was like kind of the passing of the torch.

5:36Yeah. So I feel like there's someone out here there who needs to hear this. If you have a fussy baby, there's a song by Imogen Heap who is a great talent. She sings good night and go other bops, but she wrote a song for children called the happy song that is like melodically and chemically written to cheer up your baby. Give it a try. It's like designed to ease the mind. Yeah. Give it a try. Next time baby is like fussy and it's not because they're hungry or they're pooped or need a burp or this or that like try the happy song it works for us not all the time but enough of the time it worked magically oh my god Jackie I forgot I mean I did tell you this but I need to talk about on the podcast I'm going insanely viral I heard okay so I was looking through my tiktok drafts like just to see like things I haven't posted and I forgot that I had made this tiktok while we were on our family vacation and I never posted it it was just this funny moment where we all got up from the dinner table and we realized that our sister Margo had eaten her dinner off of the charger not the actual plate and it was like this funny stupid thing I literally went to bed and I was like oh my god it's at 700 ,000 views I woke up this morning now 6.3 million Claudia the universal no deal tiktok kerfuffle is great for you no music okay for a said for a second i was like are you speaking english the universal no deal kerfuffle like now it makes sense though no you're totally right now the comments are really split people being like you are just like rich this is such like a privilege first world problem even though like a charger like you can literally get like at the dollar store for 65 cents um like if you've ever been to a wedding um and then most people also being like what is a charger people like don't know what chargers are i learned about chargers late in life too i think a lot of people learn about chargers when they get married yeah when did i learn about chargers i don't even think it was when i got married because i didn't register for chargers but i no not not registered oh like decor at your actual wedding that's i think really when i learned what a charger was yeah so it's like a plate that's just decorative it's a it's like a placemat made out of plate but it's like really not made out of plate it's not food safe no but it's it's very akin to a plate it's of the plate elk oh it looks like a plate but i'm talking about material why sometimes they're like made of wood they're not really safe to eat off of no no but you could get confused it looks like a plate and unless it's especially when it's like whatever the material was the same shape the shape but even the material of the one that she ate off of was a little confusing except for the fact that like it was a charger yeah so i'm just like kind of going majorly viral like all these you know like uh like buzzfeed type like accounts be like we'd love to share your video please submit content and consent and approval here like no bitch you think you're taking away my views eat my ass you don't think it's gonna like help raise your rising tide raise your side do you think i should do it no no no i want all the clicks you want all the clicks but you don't like you might need the distribution to get more clicks we'll get there maybe I'll sign a distribution deal later on but right now I'm just like kind of enjoying my moment for sure but don't don't overplay your hand so true and you only have like minutes left before the world moves on should I sign it now what was the publications anything legit yeah like lad bible you know like all those big facebook page type that's really how you get your name out there should I do it I think lad bible you could do I don't know maybe yeah like maybe then we could do like i don't know the toast uk tour or something i think it should be publication dependent not just like all publications can have the video but like worthy ones yeah yeah i feel like barstool sports is like about to knock on my door like they love to do would you let them but that's how you go viral because then jackie what have they said about israel that's my litmus test no like if one if one annie lennox wanted to repost my video you know what i would say turdy says no that's what i would say no barstool is marked safe dave is good yeah yeah i would i would give it to barstool i'll have to check what what lad bible's been saying about the war in israel when barstool like then distributes it then so many more people see it and that's how you end up on gma today's show oh my god you mother what if i have to postpone my trip to you see you because they want me on the today show but what if what if they want margo you're that's interesting you're not in the video i sound like madison beer but like i'm supposed to be in the video it's no i am in the video you just can't see me the star so by the way so is shapiro he's like in the reflection of the window like cracking up at margo what if they want margo and shapiro on gma oh then i won't sign over any rights and everybody can stay less famous for me.

10:36When I think about examples that are akin to what you're experiencing, it's the person on camera who Hoda wants to talk to. Of course. Not the sister who posted it. Unless sometimes the person could bring their sister and maybe she would bring you. Maybe she would bring me. Maybe I just won't forward the email that I get from the Today Show producers asking to be connected with my sister. Also, you and Margo look alike. You could impersonate her. So true. Okay. You're going to steal the shine. Yeah, or maybe I'll just let this thing die. You know, no one else. If I can't get famous, no one else can.

11:10Not rising tides raise all shies for the sisters? No, no, no. Not since you're distant from your family? Yeah. Oh, and that's the other element. Like, I am Aaron Rodgers, so no, yeah. Cut it. That's a wrap. You don't even have her email. Exactly. I couldn't forward it to her if I wanted to. Sorry, Oda. We, by the way, have an amazing show today. Yeah. Because we have the stories. And tell me about them. How are they, like, on a vibe? I feel good about them. There's a couple that feel like that just tickled my fancy. You know what I mean? And not because they're about Royal Caribbean or the royal family.

11:44I think I just like things that say royal. No. Don't say that. I'm going to look into this. And then there's also the obvious, you know, what you've maybe seen in the headlines. I don't know what I've seen in the headlines, but what I do know is that with our new schedule today, we also have Dear Toasters. We have some very interesting sort of different ones, you know? I love different. We have a write-in about stand-up comedy. We have a story about stand-up comedy. Wait, also, this next thing has nothing to do with stand-up comedy. I just remembered that I wanted to say it. So that's what I spoke to yesterday.

12:20Thanks. Well, I did, yes. But that's not what I was going to say. I spoke to my trainer, Hillary. She listens to The Toast. Clean. And she's going to get us into 5K shape. She has a whole plan. And she found us a running coach. Like, we're done. We're good. We're done. We're done. I'll be able to, like, train in person. But she's going to make a plan, like, for all of us. Okay. Make a plan. Stay alert. Bring a snack. Yeah. Stop, drop, and roll. Love that. Okay, great. Yeah. Also, I think what I've surmised is that maybe the 5K doesn't have a location because they're, like, not serious about it.

12:59And I think, like, maybe we took it really seriously. Oh, my God. not me getting a running coach and this whole thing's a joke? That's what I was like getting from the comments. No, by the way. I think they just like say stuff. Oh my God. They just like say stuff and they're not kind of like doing it. There's no 5K.

13:24Oh my God, Jackie, we named our episode title about the 5K and there isn't even a 5K. I don't know that there isn't a 5K. Oh, no, Jackie. i was talking about at my book club i was like i was like i think joe rogan's gonna come jackie there is no 5k there's no 5k there ever was a 5k and that's why we were divided and that's why yeah that's why he can't tell us the location oh jackie there is no 5k

14:01no that's not confirmed but it's kind of the the vibe i'm sensing but i got a running coach maybe we do a toast 5k

14:15no like i would never choose to do it you know yeah how do you and i was only doing it i was only doing it for like the thirsty element that i get to like meet other more famous successful people that like who could prop me up and give me attention and like followers and stuff like let's be real i don't want a 5k for fun yeah i had a goal in mind charity no sorry like i'll just donate i'll write a check awareness i'll post on instagram

14:43so we'll we'll stay tuned i mean you never know they could decide to take it seriously but i'm just feeling like and by the way wait wait no now that i'm thinking about it like Like, Bert never answered my DM, like, after he, like, I was like, oh. Like, we never connected. Like, it was just the story. Because there was nothing to connect over. Because there's no 5K. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah. There is no 5K. Okay, cool, cool. That's so awesome. Methinks. And, like, this was just, like, this little joke on their podcast that, like, And they didn't even mean to, but an unintended consequence of this funny joke from their podcast was these two enormous losers showing how desperate and thirsty they are.

15:31I just want to say this all started because Jelly Roll said he was running a 5K. Oh, I forgot Jelly Roll was going to be there. Yeah. And so People Magazine was fooled too because that's where I saw it. But they are fools. So I don't know why I'm looping myself in with them. I like how like yeah we're not fools we didn't fall for it you just can't believe everything you read on the internet I guess it's just so crazy when you like find out a piece of information that like just rejiggers the way you look at the world you know and it like and it all makes sense I have like and why I really relate to this one particular Taylor Swift lyric like in this moment I've never been a natural all I do is try try try like I am like genuinely like at my core like a desperate person like I don't I don't really have any need to be Like I have a very full life.

16:19I'm very successful. Thank God, knock wood. Like, and this desperation, like this deeply uncool thing about me, I can't sort of shake. And now I've just been exposed about like for who I truly am. Maybe exposing it and showing it to the light is a way to kill it. You know, sunlight kills. Right. I'm kind of like Edward. You're Edward.

16:44Wow. Okay. So that sort of shook the foundation on which I walk. Yeah, but you should still train for the 5K with your running coach. I don't know about that. Let's get into the stories because as Tardy stated, we have a lot to do today. And best not waste time. Best to make haste. Without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know. Today's episode of Toast Herstory is brought to you by Clean Simple Eats. If you're looking for a newest protein powder obsession, cannot recommend Clean Simple Eats enough. We personally love their protein powder because it's grass-fed. It has no seed oils or artificial ingredients.

17:18It's third-party tested, non-GMO, and gluten-free. Each serving has 20 grams of protein. It's really cream and smoothie, so it's perfect if you want to make a smoothie or if you want to bake it into a recipe. We've really been on a protein journey, and Clean Simple Eats has come in clutch for this journey. It's really the greatest, most delicious way to get protein every single day, and it's not boring like in a bar. They have so many different flavors to choose from. I personally love the vanilla because I'm simple like that. I don't like to complicate things. I'm really just sort of the simple individual.

17:45That's what everybody says about me. They even have protein powder variety packs. You can try individual servings of multiple flavors. So in addition to their best-selling protein powders, they also have clear protein powder. Clear protein is all the hype right now, and Clean Simple Eats has the best one out there. The pink burst flavor is life-changing. It tastes like melted pink starburst. And Clean Simple Eats can't keep it in stock because it's so popular and delicious.

Our first story, a little comedy drama. Pete Davidson ditches a Radio City warm-up gig for Matt Reif at the last minute. Wait, what? Matt Reif is performing a three-night stand at Radio City Music Hall. Okay, on my way here, I passed like a billboard to those billboards that get like put on construction sites.

18:53Yeah. And it was like, congrats, Matt Reif. Six sold-out shows. So two shows a night for three nights. That's huge. Yeah, and Pete Davidson had agreed to open for him, warm up the crowd. Wait, what? But they're friends. okay according to Radio City Insiders he backed out just two hours before Showtime backstage sources at the Rockefeller Center Institution say that Matt Reif's team had to scramble to find a backup and eventually got someone lined up with a matter of within a matter of minutes before the curtain went up according to a social media post from the show uh John Campanelli ended up filling in for Davidson yeah I mean I don't think like finding someone new would have been a problem like any comic would be honored to to do it but um if they sold the tickets being like with special guest Pete Davidson you know it's kind of a letdown oh did that I don't know if they sold I don't know I don't know but I'm sure he was like really excited it's his big night the crowd would be so hyped for Pete his friend is coming through for him and then for two hours before for Pete to cancel that's a little I also think it's like crazy that that Matt Reif got Pete Davidson to do something for him like i don't know why i think that's crazy i feel like pete davidson i would have said like has good friends and is a good friend because he's always like they're always showing up for him i feel like he has good friendships but this isn't what a friend does and of course like because matt rife is kind of rife with scandal right now if your first thought is like is he disassociating from matt but i don't think that's what it is i'm sure just something came up comics don't do that comics aren't losers who are like oh there's a little bit of like backlash on tiktok I should stay away.

20:29Like comics don't give a fuck. I don't think it has to do with that either. I also think, yes, Pete has like a lot of friends, but I also think that's like the nature of like comedy. Like everybody just like supports one another. And you need your friends in that business. Or shall I say in this business. Oh, right. In our business. In our business as comedians. Who run 5Ks. Who are top of the charts comedians. We need friends. Luckily, Turdy and I have each other. That's why we don't know anyone else. No, we have Bert and Tom until further notice. And you have Tinks. I will always have tanks.

21:00We actually have a lot of friends, not in the comedy space, but in the influencer space. Like, we're friendly influencers. A lot of, because you want to know what it is. Like, most comedy podcasters come from the comedy world. We are comedy podcasters who weirdly came from the influencer world. Yeah. So we're just different in that way, and that's why we're not like other shows, and we're probably better than everyone else, if I had to guess. Yeah. Sounds right. Speaking of comedy news, something that wasn't a story, but I find to be newsworthy, is Shane Gillis hosting SNL. And I've been meaning to talk about it.

21:33I'm so glad you brought that up because I saw it and I sent it to you and I was shook because for anyone who doesn't understand why it's a big deal, the first time I had ever heard of Shane Gillis was many years ago when he was announced as one of the new SNL cast members. And obviously for any comic, that's like the job of the century and it's like the biggest deal. Then they had announced that he was one of the new cast members. Of course, you know, the internet did their thing. found some old clips of him saying some unsavory things on a podcast specifically using a slur and he was immediately you know the offer was withdrawn and I think for like any comic who you know gets to SNL I don't know if there's anything worse like I don't I think what happened to Shane Gillis is like so many people's worst nightmare yeah it was it was extremely to reach the summit to reach the summit and then fall down and have it taken away and what was so interesting about what happened to Shane Gillis is that he kind of took you know this lemon and made it into Lemonade and his career really blew up after that he just like pounded the pavement podcast podcast podcast he put his he produced his own comedy special put it out for free on YouTube it blew up so much so that the next time he recorded a special Netflix bought it and it was like the number one special a few months ago it was really popular yeah um and he kind of made himself someone who's like a little too famous to even be a cast member on SNL he's kind of someone who's you know the guest host on SNL and they did it which I think is so crazy like I don't know if I was Shane Gillis would I be like butthurt and like bitter and not accept I don't know not for hosts to come back in that way like if they had asked him to be a cast member now I'm sure he would be like oh you can go fuck yourself no and he wakes makes what he has a huge podcast he's like below us sometimes but but sometimes above us yeah yeah he's makes a lot of money that podcast before he even got the first job like everything that he's doing now is what he was doing before the first snl job and that's why he got the job and then he was taken away from him and then he's continued to just like do shane do his podcast do his comedy and as we say the cream rises and now he will be hosting snl which is completely full circle and a really crazy thing and i absolutely have to watch his monologue just to see how this is like to me this is historic like yeah i i need to see how they're gonna address it like and they're they're going to too i mean how could they not it's really the elephant in the room but also it's so interesting i think that when he was if you watch his special and i've seen a lot of clips i think i watched the special but i also see clips he does like an insanely funny and good trump impression and i think that's why he was booked to begin with for that impression because if you think of who they've had play him in the last few years after alec baldwin or even maybe alec baldwin included it's like not great and the guy who they currently have for trump isn't a cast member he just is the trump guy he comes in to do trump he's like not even a good one agreed i'm sure they'll utilize that i think they'll have him do that impression but i think that's why he initially got the job it would make sense because when you audition for snl you like audition with impressions yeah no and when i read keenan's book not to always you know be bringing up keenan it is very impressions based um yeah it's like very it's like old school like sketch comedy it's You have to do characters.

24:44A lot of people who I think try out for SNL, maybe even get on SNL, aren't stand-up comics. They do this sort of improv. They're from those improv groups. So Shane Gillis is very much a multi-talented comic because he does the impressions, but he also writes really good stand-up. I'm fascinated by this. And of course, people are up in arms on the internet being like, you know, he's not sorry. But I think this is such an interesting life cycle of a cancellation. and we haven't seen it before this to me this is that's a precedent and i'm beyond interested i also just think it's like kind of crazy like to have let him go like snl was making a statement yeah like they were they were making which was very uncommon the comedy world like they don't do that you know so it was very sort of out of character and bizarre but of course like when the mob comes like you just buckle like that's what people do so the fact that they did cancel was such like a strong move and booking him is like a strong move in the total opposite direction i i find it very confusing yeah we'll see how it plays out and what sort of message they're going to send and what they're going to say about it i'm like i will be tuning in maybe perhaps even live yeah i just want to see the musical guest is 21 savage great great february 24th see you there oh it's not this weekend no oh who on god's green diddly dally earth knows where i'm gonna be on february 24th what is this weekend let's see i don't think there is oh because it's also the super bowl yeah there is none and they just like kind of make up their own schedule i kind of love like and respect that you know yeah like maybe we'll do a show maybe we won't maybe it'll be a yeah maybe they're just like always keeping us on our toes yeah yeah because we're just waiting with bated breath.

26:31Are you ready for our next story? Yes. Some really lovely news. 40 megastars have come together for one magnificent image on British Vogue as they say a farewell to Edward Enifel, the editor-in-chief of British Vogue. So... Who I didn't even know was leaving. He's leaving. The cover of his final magazine is 40 huge stars, one class picture. They all... And they're like his girlies. Like they're not random. They all had like been on the cover at one point in his career. They all signify like the past, the present and the future for him. They all came to New York on the same day for a photo shoot.

27:08And these are some of like the biggest stars ever. It's a really. And you know what it's giving. It's giving Jenna Rink. Yes. 30 going on 30 like the graduation prom scene. When they all are like in the park and there's leaves and it's like the best scene on television history. It is. But those were like regular degulars. No, and by the way, I'm sure like the vibe on this set was like so toxic and like rude. They were like eating cupcakes in Jenna Rink's version. And there was like, you know, snow in the air. Well, this one was probably just like a different kind of snow. The story they're telling is like it was just such a beautiful, harmonious day of so many.

27:41I think it was like a mega factory of getting all the girls ready and styled. And everyone comes with teams. I think there were probably so many people there. They shot it at like a warehouse in the city. But the final image is beautiful. I mean. read me some of the names i mean i saw it but uh naomi campbell kaya gerber and cindy crawford oh i didn't put that together because they weren't seated next there are a couple like interesting dynamics where it's like oh i placement i wonder how these two got along uh cara de la vene miley cyrus victoria beckham oprah uh serena williams anya taylor joy carly Klaus there were some like major randoms in there Jamila Jamil Jamila Jamil Ariana DeBose yeah like really random um yeah there were a couple randoms I'm sure they like mean something to Edward and Victoria Beckham yeah I said her I love her I'm sorry Amber Valetta oh I actually just met Amber Valetta nice lady and very gorgeous in person um what I wanted to say before I had to be annoying and name drop and now forgot what I was going to say.

28:51Shall I continue? You know, British Vogue is so, all the Vogues, but British Vogue is really, I feel, highlights how much better American Vogue could be doing. I feel like American Vogue never does anything iconic. They're always getting in trouble these days. Yeah, no, always. For something or other. It's like Joe Coy and then Trevor Noah. It's like it shouldn't be so hard. Here you have someone who shows you how you can do your job. No, and it's literally Vogue. Like, do better. They act like, oh, you know, it's hard to get a great cover and to be on the polls. But like British folk is always showing it up.

29:25I remembered what I was going to say. Have you been seeing the like pre-commercial Super Bowl commercials for Uber Eats with the Beckhams? Obsessed. I thought it was 10 out of 10 perfectly executed. I loved that they let her wear her Victoria Beckham shirt that she sells. People are mad it's like$100 because it's literally like a piece of merch. She's obsessed. What did they call her? Not Jennifer. Jessica. Jessica. It's a funny commercial. It is. And I'm sure we get like more commercial at the Super Bowl. For sure. Yeah. All the Super Bowl commercials are rolling out slowly. I also know that Edward was like a close friend of Taylor Swift.

30:08So I'm sure she's busy and she just couldn't make it. But it would have been cool if she was in there. It would have been. It was in December. so she wasn't she was free she was free and it was in new york do you think anyone got this email and like didn't taylor swift you think um i could see like someone getting this and not realizing how iconic it was going to be and just kind of being like oh they wanted me to do some like celebratory thing for british folk right i can't make it no but like oprah's there you know yeah but then when you see the picture it's like if anybody didn't participate who was invited like you're you know what you know who I actually think probably did that Madison Beer she was supposed to be in the video but yeah I love that reference I'm sorry because like that would happen to me no what would happen to me is like to get an email and like not really register the significance of it and be like oh I don't really want to do that and then you see the picture and you're like I should have done that right things I should have done things i didn't do that right so yeah huge name salma hayek linda evangelista they had a sleepover the night before the article said salma stayed at linda's place oh not all of the women no just these two but like is it why are you saying salma selma sorry wait who are we talking about the hayek oh sorry i think you're talking about because selma blair is on there too okay sorry i like wasn't listening to you salma hayek and who Linda Evangelist had a sleepover.

31:38That's weird. And isn't Salma Hayek married to that guy? The richest man in the world? Yeah, like she stayed at Linda's place in New York. Like, you can't get a hotel. She stayed at Linda's dump. Like, that's a little weird. For sure. That's like Elon, too. He's the richest man in the world. And whenever he travels, he stays at a friend's place. And the way that just would never, ever be me. Like, not in a million years. He's literally a couch surfer. It's so crazy. And the way I travel, I act like I have Elon Musk's finance. Like, imagine if I actually did. This would never be me. You guys know how I feel about that.

32:17Like, rich people cosplaying as poor people. I, you know, marry you with paper rings type of things. Like, no, don't. Don't. Kate Moss on the cover with Lottie Moss. Another duo. Yeah, cute. It was really beautifully done. And it was 1 ,000 % giving Jenna rank. Yeah. Yeah. And everyone looks great individually and together. Like it probably took a lot of styling. Yeah. So great execution. Bon voyage, Edward. I didn't even know he was leaving. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Podcaster Bobby Althoff calls her estranged husband, Corey, incredible after he files for divorce from her.

33:00No, I need, and I know people tune into this podcast to hear us explain stuff. I need someone to explain to me what the hell is going on. Okay, so Bobbi, I'll talk for those of you who don't know, she is the one who had that viral podcast interview with Drake. Her show is called... She was the girl who like, she was like a mom on TikTok with like a decently big platform. She started a podcast and literally it took over the world. People thought she was an industry plant. She had guests like Mark Cuban, Drake. Like it was so weird. It was so random. It was like overnight. Overnight. And then it was gone.

33:33and then there were at the time like rumors about her husband and rumors about like her like sleeping with drake like it was just so crazy and i was like okay whatever but then now they actually are getting divorced so now i'm like wait what the fuck yeah her podcast is called the really good podcast and months ago there were rumors that she like hooked up with drake after their viral interview or whatever she totally denied and she went on bff's pod yeah it was yeah that drama with dave but now her husband getting divorced she posted as most of you have heard cory and i have filed for divorce as sad as I am right now I'm so thankful for the time I got to be his wife our girls are so lucky to have him as a father and I'm so lucky to be able to co-parent with such an incredible father in person now I don't know anything and I'm not saying that she cheated on her man but if she did this would be the type of caption you would write when you're really sorry you know it's like a really nice captain yeah like I fucked up he's good amazing perfect man perfect husband anyone's lucky to have him like all right calm down don't be mad at me please right like sry because when you write when you feel this way about someone that like you would write these nice things about them like you should be married to them right and why are you you're a great man you're a great parent like okay so stay married totally random totally like random sidebar so you know toby keith the um country singer he passed away from stomach cancer so sad i and i'm sure he was just you know like really upset about it but like luke combs posted on his story like rip toby just that like legend or something but it was like it was really short and what was a picture of nothing just black black rip toby yeah it was all caps r capital i capital p not so it was more like rip toby not rip toby which is better it's still a rip i know and i think you know luke was probably just like acting out of grief and i can't be mad but like i just i I wanted to note that our king, our king ripped.

35:31You wanted to rip him a new one? No, I didn't. Also, should we talk about the backlash? No, we didn't. Do Toby Keith as a story. We got a lot of backlash for not choosing Toby Keith as a story because we're big country music fans. And Jackie and I have said this repeatedly, and we actually spoke about it offline. Unless it's like Queen Elizabeth dying, I really don't like talking about death as a story. It's not an interesting conversation because what else are we going to say? like oh we're happy someone died no like it's not we're gonna say rip yeah no especially when it's not like um a shock like there's some that are stories because it's like oh my gosh but you know when it's just like rest in peace great talent legend and it's not someone that we've really spoken about there's not that much to say that's why it wasn't a story but we have the utmost respect for toby keith and we hope that he alan jackson as well we hope that he rests in peace, legend, icon.

36:26Of course. Like, Red Solo Cup. I pick you up. Let's have a party. Thanks for clearing that up. It's not a big conspiracy, you guys. Like, we just didn't choose a story. Yeah, because it's just, I'm not going to say what I was going to say. It would have been a pun. Oh. That wasn't, like, it wasn't intentionally be a pun, but it would sound like a pun. You know what I mean? So good you caught it. So good I caught it. Are you ready for our next story? No, I kind of love the name Toby. For? People. Girl or boy? Boy. Okay. Toby Soffer? Wait. Kind of love. So cute. It is, right? I feel like Toby is always a kid.

37:16Like a grown Toby. No, and I also do feel like for a man, I don't know if I've ever met a Toby who was in really good shape. Toby is a fat boy's name, like 1 ,000%. Because it's one letter away from Tubby. Also, because it sounds and looks like tuba, which is like this huge instrument. That's what I think of. Oh, I think of Tubby. Yeah, Tubby, no, for sure. Maybe it's like a curse of a name, especially with my genes and Ben's genes, never mind. But maybe he was meant to be a Toby.

Read the full transcript

37:50I don't know. I just kind of like the name. I also like the name Keith, by the way. People with last names that are first names. Firsty lasty. That's not a firsty lasty. Okay. There is a lot of controversy and conversation about what a firsty lasty is. Some people think a firsty lasty is someone who has a first name for a first and last name. Like Toby Keith is a first name, a firsty lasty because. No, we don't think that. But then other people say that being a firsty lasty means like you're the type of person who you can't just say Jackie. Like it's Jackie Oshara. You have to say the first and the last name.

38:23Yeah, I'm not a firsty-lasty. No, no, but I was using you as, like who's an example of a firsty-lasty? Like honestly, like Drew Barrymore. Like no one would say Drew. Right, except her show is like, oh no, it's the Drew Barrymore show. Right, because she's a firsty-lasty. Yeah, that's a firsty-lasty. Shout off in the comments. What do you think a firsty-lasty is? Or have you never heard that phrase before? Is that an Oshara family thing? No, I feel like it's from the click books. It's giving click books. it's giving idiotic clickbook and so i feel like we can determine what the definition is it's in writing in the text it's in the scripture we can go to the source should we reread the clickbooks no i think it would just like make us like feel really like old and be like what were we reading yeah like no wonder like i was such a nasty little child like i was reading the clickbooks Like, and who did I idolize in the click books?

39:18Like the meanest cunt of all. Of course. She was the best. She was like the prettiest, the richest. Like, of course we were going to stand Massey.

42:04How on God's green diddly-dally earth does that make sense? Which part? They're too old or too young? Too old. Not that they're too old. They were always a couple years older than us. No, no. I feel like when we were watching Full House and stuff, they were younger than us. No, when we were watching their teen movies, they were older, cooler girls. We were the same. A few years older. No, you're right. You're right. New York Minute, we were in the eighth grade, and they were in high school. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, that's fair. Yeah. And then. And I love that sister.

45:33That's very exciting. The second Moana was originally developed as a TV series but became a feature film because Bob Iger was impressed with the footage. So Moana 2 comes to theaters this November. Also Moana is getting like the live action treatment so there's just like a lot going on in the world of Moana. And let me tell you another part of this story that I find so interesting. I feel like I told you this story. Do you remember, I think it was during COVID, when those two girls on TikTok, one of them is like a pop star, singer, songwriter, the other is like this musical composer. They started making all these videos, like what if Bridgerton was a musical?

46:07And they ended up writing a whole album that got like millions of streams, that got nominated for a Grammy and won. It was like this amazing thing that happened on TikTok. They have been tapped to write the music for Moana too. Oh, that's so great. Which does mean Lin-Manuel Miranda's out of a job, which people are both celebrating, but also being like, but he did slap the first time yeah I feel two ways because obviously like I don't ever want someone to not have a job but Lin-Manuel has many so let's open up the field to other people but he as much as we clown on Lin like he's responsible for so many hits hit after hit and like how far I'll go and yad welcome I mean if not for Lin-Manuel we wouldn't have yad welcome what can I say except yad welcome we love to joke but like at the end of the day like we always say the cream rises and that shit that soundtrack from Moana one like was that bitch like it was top tier Lynn is the cream question mark Jen is the cream exclamation point Lynn is cream period that's kind of like something for me to wrap my head around like I don't appreciate Lin-Manuel in his time no and it's because like his personality gets in the way of his talent yeah but i feel okay again is that even true do we even know him that lynn is appreciated in his time like everyone is obsessed with him he gets every job that's remotely lynn like lynn is a multi multi-millionaire like lynn is hashtag lynn is fine yeah but this is a lot of pressure for those girls because one a sequel is a lot of pressure even if lynn were doing it he has to out lynn the lynn disney has a very high bar but like if these songs like what oh no i just got confused for a second but still how far I'll go major yeah but I like I thought I follow have followed this like these two girls stories just because I thought it was so cool that they won a Grammy and I feel like they literally could win an Oscar now or like a a Golden Globe like they could be EGOTs and they're just you know two girls two girls Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear yeah and they're they're they're like a writing duo Barlow and Bear it's giving like Pasek and paul you know like it's giving iconic writing duo yeah i'd rather see pasick and paul out there shaking that thing i wouldn't mind it i i love me some pasick and paul me too except what's crazy is pasick and paul did la la land and i don't give a rip about la la land i didn't like la la land maybe i should probably like watch it again but i would probably still not give a rip I just don't give a rip.

48:42No, I know. And when people think Pasek and Paul, they think La La Land. We think Pasek and Paul, Greatest Showman. Or Evan Hansen. Yeah.

48:52Oh, La La Land. That's like, I feel like that's like a glitch in my matrix. It's like something I should like that I don't like. There's a couple things like that. Such a good point. It's such a good point. Yeah. I guess I just can't be pinned down. You can't put me in a box. Well, that's for damn sure. You can't like make a movie for me and expect me to like it. You just never know. But I am going to pin you down right now because the girlies need your help, Jackie. It's Dear Toasters time. So sit down. And help I should do.

Good morning to the wonderful, stunning, turdy, and the beautiful wise, Jackie O.

49:55I am writing in because I am having a predicament. My hilarious husband has recently started doing stand-up comedy and is starting to climb the comedy ladder where we live. When he first started doing comedy, I told him that I didn't want him to joke about me during his sets because I didn't want to feel disrespected. Now he's getting invited to host shows, and when I go to his shows that feature other comics, I've noticed that every single comic but my husband tirelessly jokes about their wives, significant others during their sets. Am I being an insecure loser? Should I just let him joke about me to help his comedy career?

50:24Turdy, have you had this combo with Ben? Help. That's such a great question and an interesting predicament, and I feel like you're being very self-aware, but I think the boundary that you said is really nice. And if I were you, I wouldn't reconsider it unless he comes to you and says like, listen, I have this joke and having this boundary is like holding me back a little bit or having you approve a joke. I would just like wait till he mentions it. But if he's having success, not joking about his relationship, I think that's like really respectable and totally fine. That's so funny. I was gonna say something different, even though like I do agree with you.

50:58The thing is, is like, I do feel like it's most likely limiting his potential because so much of comedy is about your own life. And if obviously you're married, a huge part of your life is your marriage. But maybe it's forcing him to be a better comedian because if everybody's making relationship jokes and he has to think outside of that box, he might eventually be one of a kind in making different kinds of jokes. It's possible. I guess I wouldn't say anything unless he says something. Yeah. And it's very sweet that he hasn't. I never ran it by Ben, but I also know there's a line. Like, I'm not looking to be out here embarrassing my husband.

51:37Like, I want to do a show that's, like, relatable and funny and that people can relate to. But also, like, I have a normal, I'm not the type of person who, like, I have respect for my husband. So as long as your partner loves you and has respect for you, they really, they won't say something awful, you know? Yeah. Even in the name of a joke. Yeah. I think that if it's weighing on you you could ask him and be like hey is this kind of holding you back do you ever wish that you could make these jokes and you guys could have a conversation about it you don't even have to like wait for him to bring it up because maybe he doesn't bring it up because he knows that you would say no so I think you should broach the subject and ask him see how he feels about it and if this is something he's been feeling like oh I have these jokes like maybe you guys could start somewhere where like he just like runs them by you and not forever but just to get you comfortable with it.

52:25I think that like, I think it's awesome that he's gotten so far while respecting your boundaries. But if you're starting to feel like you're holding him back, then just ask him about it. I think this is nice. Yeah, you both sound like normal, level-headed people who can have a conversation, which is amazing. Isn't always the case with your toasters. Or comedians. Facts. Was that a Burt Kreischer dig? No, I'm kidding. All right, ready for our next one? Yeah. Hey, Jackson Turd. This one sounds like a novel, like a thriller. My maternal grandmother called me yesterday for a very casual conversation, but towards the end, she mentioned that she and my grandfather were going to get their will made later this week.

53:02She explained that their cumulative assets total over$4 million and that the inheritance would be split between my younger sibling and I. This was completely unexpected. She told me not to tell anyone besides my boyfriend. I know this will be so awkward when the time comes and my mom finds out. Both she and my dad will be shocked and hurt. She encouraged me to be transparent with my boyfriend we've been together for over five years live together and plan to get engaged within the year can I make him promise not to tell anyone I don't really want his family to know what do I tell who do I tell what do I buy do I need a lawyer this is so weird granny's causing drama not even the fact that she wants to give it to you guys which is you know her right to do but that she wants you to tell your boyfriend doesn't want you to tell your mom like why is she playing games this grammy whatever you do do not tell your boyfriend like sorry i like to me we'll get into your mom in a second because that's fucking awkward and like you'll have to figure out whatever but like literally don't tell your boyfriend like i think you can like keep this close to the best i don't think you need a lawyer yeah and even if she wants to leave the money to you why is she telling you now and causing drama between you and your mom like granny's causing trouble it would have been better for her to just like you know when the time comes like pass away and then like mic drop with the with the reading of the will very you know very gossip girl um but she's like but now between you and your mom by one the inheritance and two like the secret of it what's granny up to yeah and also like is your mom like waiting on this money like yeah I just I like to respect yacht elders and typically if there's a grandma like in a deer toasters I'm always gonna take granny's side but like what's granny got up her sleeve yeah there was kind of no reason for her to drop this bomb like it should have been posthumously also why she's only doing her will now people have wills like throughout their lives yeah maybe she's rejiggering it because she's like having an argument with her daughter and she's like trying to get you on her side by giving you two mil right right right granny is being petty do not tell your boyfriend Like I feel like that's the more important part of this conversation.

55:11Oh, that's the other piece of this. That's so weird. Let it be like a nice thing once you guys get married. Like then you really can share. But like this is private. And boyfriends, I'm sorry. They come and go. By the way. I know you've been together for five years. Yada yada. No. The money isn't yours yet even. So there's nothing to say. She could blow it all before she goes. She does sound also like a little bit like a reckless kind of woman. Reckless granny. Maybe she changed her mind. She's giving reckless granny. I wouldn't count this money as your own just yet. It's so true. maybe just sit quiet and it's nice I guess the only person you can really talk to is your sister yeah so kind of the talk to your sister I wonder if granny told her something different I think granny's playing games or did granny not even tell the other sister it's giving like um what's that movie knives out yes it's giving like everyone thinks they are getting the inheritance oh my and granny wants to see what they all do keep it to yourself someone's gonna kill granny don't play this game i wouldn't get caught up in it i agree it's a trap it's a trap go about your life as if granny never told you because you're not getting that many i'm sorry to tell you yeah it's giving diabolical granny it's giving diabolical granny our third and final dear toasters is looking for a little bit more of um like tactical advice okay i love tactical i like Like I think we can actually give this girl a good plan.

56:36I've heard this. Actionable. I've heard this marriage tip recently that when like your partner is complaining that you should say, do you want comfort or do you want solutions? I feel like that's what you would say to like a kid, no? No, it's like when you're complaining about something. Actually, wait. I love that. Right? When you're complaining about something, like do you want me to actually like help you or just like commiserate with you? Oh my God, that happened to me the other day. Like I, oh my God, Ben was, oh my God. Because I go straight for solutions. I'm solution oriented, which is why I like this.

57:08Dear Toasters, that's why I brought this up. But it's a great question to ask. Do you want comfort or do you want solutions? Oh my God, because Ben was coming at me with solutions and it felt like an attack. Like I was doing something wrong and that's why I was in this position. And honestly, I got so bad at him and I was so wrong and I took my anger out on him because I was angry about something else. Oh my God, I love that. Can you text that to Ben? Yeah, I was thinking like, I need it. That's so funny. I think Ben and I are really similar. Are we? Yeah, Ben definitely takes on in terms of emotions, sometimes a little bit more of the traditionally feminine role.

57:41He's very emotional. No, I'm not emotional. You're not, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Anyways, I just thought it was good because also when you just want comfort, you don't want solutions, my friend. No, no, and it's like, stop now. And it also forces a person who's struggling to be like, what do I want? you know to yeah be like huh that's a good question it's good marriage tip of the day so speaking of actionable advice I am a 30 something mother of two and since having children I feel as if my vocabulary is embarrassing and limited I find myself struggling for simple words and synonyms in my workplace I was an advertising and marketing major in college and my written communication far exceeds my verbal mostly because I have time to compose my words I'm worried when I actually meet people for work they think I am dumb you both have such a colorful spoken vocabulary.

58:32Would you attribute it to being avid readers or something else? Please help. Please be the Cher Horowitz to my tie. I hope it's not sporadically. That is such a good question. I just have to say, if I didn't do this podcast every day, that would be me. Like my, your brain, it's so easy for your brain to become mush. Like you're talking baby talk all day, like one word and you're trying to find the simplest word for what you're trying to convey to your child. So it's totally normal and natural. Literally doing the show like forces me to exercise my brain which I'm grateful for but I do find it harder these days than it used to be for me to like reach for words what was the word the other day I couldn't find recreationally yeah so this is so real and I do feel like I have a very colorful vocabulary but it's because I practice every single day by doing this show so I don't know if it's enough for you to just listen to shows like this or other shows where there's a lot of colorful language because maybe you can absorb some of it but reading of course right no but she really said like she has it's not so much her like knowledge because she's like I can write really well like she has the words she has a hard time bringing them brain mouth you know like connecting your brain to your mouth and I feel like it kind of sounds like she needs brain camp yeah but what is brain camp in tact I don't know what is brain camp I mean there are like a bunch of apps and games like I play this game it's a board game it's called anemia and anemia like the definition of that word is like when you when you can't think of like you know the word but you can't say it it's like the brain mouth connection it's actually a really fun game but I also think it's actually like a challenge that would perhaps put you on the spot so a board game yeah a board game also I think maybe even just calling a friend having more adult conversations maybe a friend who's like your funny lively friend and it's just going to be like an upbeat conversation um that can help you just like exercise your mouth you can practice because when I go back and listen to like old episodes of the toast my god I sound so stupid I say sentences like filled with nothing like um yeah totally and I'm still not great but I say much more substance in sentences now yeah it's a skill that you have to like fine-tune yeah and when you spend so much time talking to children of course of course it's so natural but yeah trying to find more time for adult conversation maybe a word of the day I've never really stuck to a word of the day but the few times I've done it like I've gotten something out of it but I don't know really where I get my new words from we were having this conversation when I did Shannon's podcast she was asking about my vocabulary like how do I have such a big vast colorful vocabulary and I do not know the answer reading definitely helps but I've had it since before reading no but the thing for me is like I have to see and interact with a word like 10 times before I start to even want to know what it means like mercurial is a new word of mine and it's because it was in illicit affairs by Taylor Swift and like I was like okay that's a word I just learned that word then it started showing up in books a lot and on my kindle I would like highlight it look at the definition it means like sort of like unpredictable mysterious if you will um and words like I learn words like so randomly like even one of my favorite words acrimonious I learned from friends so like I just pick up words randomly but it takes a lot for a word to stick with me yeah unless you start using it all the time because then we share we word share yeah nefarious of course elk classic that's a big one big low-key no but don't feel bad about this and it'll it'll come back it's just comes and goes it's hard it's a it's a it's a total life change and also it's it's physical and mental like you literally like it happens whether or not you start talking baby talk like and it also happens because you start talking baby talk so go easy on yourself girly swirly.

1:02:29That's our show. And tomorrow will be our last one of the week. And then next week when we are back, Jackie and I will be together podcasting. So you know what I realized such exciting fun times. I realized that next week is a short week because it's President's Day. On Monday. That's not next week. That's the week after next. President's Day isn't like after the Super Bowl. It's the following week. True. And of course, you know, let's give everyone fair warning. We will be taking off President's Day. Of course, we respect the presidents. I mean, God bless America. You know? That I love. You know?

1:03:11I stand beside her. Yeah. And guide her Through the night with the night from above Yes. I love that song. They're all bops. Also, like, This Land is Your Land, I love. All of those songs of the American Elk. The Elk, yeah, they're beautiful. The Star Spangled Banner, like. Like the Betsy Ross vibes. Hits. The hits start coming and they don't stop coming. And, like, chilling. No, and it's like they were written a couple hundred years ago and they still slay the house down boots. A song that I put in that category that's like kind of not and it's modern and like it has no semblance, but I just consider them all the same type of song is, and I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

1:04:03Yeah, the green one slayed the house down boots. Also, this land is your land. This land is my land. That's right. From California. All the way. To the New York Islands. Them islands. From the Redwood Forest. To the Gulf Stream waters. This land was made for you and me. With that. Amen. And you and you.
