It's your favorite show.
Jackie
The best five things you need to know.
Claudia
We'll start your day off Swirly. It's the Toast.
Jackie
They sound amazing.
Claudia
Welcome back to the Toast. And happy hump day. Feels like a hump day because I'm sitting next to a girl who I know personally from my personal experience. She absolutely loves to hump and be humped.
Jackie
Me. Disgusting.
Claudia
This is a nice family friendly show and people listen in the car with their kids.
Jackie
It's so true. This is a nice family.
Claudia
But I'm just like. Like I. I have to be me, you know?
Jackie
And that's you. You can't help but let your freak flag fly.
Claudia
Cue wrecked.
Jackie
Well, welcome to the Toast. Happy Wednesday everybody.
Claudia
Feeling like an OG Wednesday. We used to do Dear Toasters every Wednesday. It was like hump day, Dear Toasters.
Jackie
And things got moved around TV recap.
Claudia
So we ended up sticking it on Tuesdays. But of course I had a migraine yesterday. Thank you to everyone who stood with me during that extremely difficult migraine that lasted all day long but didn't stop me from winning mahjong three times. Maybe I should have a migraine every time I play mahjong. Having. Sorry, I got derailed. No, no migraine today, Dear Toasters Will happen. No sunglasses. Even though these lights do feel very bright.
Jackie
Yeah, that's just the lights.
Claudia
I know.
Jackie
It is what it is. Glad you're feeling better.
Claudia
Me too.
Jackie
Glad you're feeling better. And Gruber is feeling better thanks to his aunties bodies. Hu wreck antibodies from his antibody from his auntie's body.
Claudia
Might I say it's looking fantastic.
Jackie
I've got the antibodies. I am anti body.
Claudia
I've got the magic in me. Ben Platter in that song.
Jackie
No, he made that song. Version is so good and it's so amazing. It's even better than how awful he is.
Claudia
Like yet again the plight of being Ben Platt's number one haters and having to acknowledge his enormous, like undeniable talent. Yeah, every time I touch that track, it turns into gold. I know, it's funny. Like, didn't his dad make that movie?
Jackie
No, I feel like that's one he didn't make.
Claudia
Oh, okay.
Jackie
He just got that role on his own marriage and that was really his first role.
Claudia
I was actually cracking up when we were talking about Ben Platt and somebody else wrote in the comments like the reason why they hate Ben Platt and it's actually so Valid. Ben Platt insisted, like, literally insisted beyond on playing Evan Hansen in the movie adaptation of the Broadway show, even though he was 28 at the time, having to play like a 15 year old. And honestly, he was wearing, like, prosthetic face and hair. He looked so stupid. Like, he did ruin the movie. I actually saw that movie, and I had to leave in the middle of the theater. I didn't like it. I was so bored.
Jackie
That movie did nothing. And it's crazy because the show was a cultural reset.
Claudia
Did you see the Broadway play?
Jackie
Of course. That's how you know. Because I don't take myself to Broadway.
Claudia
It was insane, the Broadway show. Like, insane.
Jackie
I had to see it. It was amazing.
Claudia
It was the best thing I'd ever seen.
Jackie
Yeah. And the movie was so bad, it did nothing, went nowhere. And, yeah, I would think I would say that that's Ben Platt's legacy.
Claudia
I, like, can't stop talking about Ben Platt. We talk about him every day.
Jackie
I was gonna say, like, speaking of. I've got the magic in me, two things. One, like, imagine how much more we would like it, like, if it was sung by someone. Of course it was. That wasn't Ben. So that's how, like, amazing it is, because still, I sometimes actually listen to that in my car. Two, speaking of magic, you know who else got the magic in him?
Claudia
Connor Leavitt.
Jackie
Connor Levitt. I just watched that part of slamu and I just want to say, like, Connor Leavitt is my businessman of the week.
Claudia
I love that Connor layout also.
Jackie
And now businessman, like, extends to just, like, people. Like, good people.
Claudia
Yeah, of course. And like, yes, he's not.
Jackie
Not a businessman.
Claudia
I feel like we're always talking about magical abilities, how, like, people, specifically men of this generation, like, need hobbies that aren't, like, gambling on their phones. Magic.
Jackie
What if you just did magic Sleight
Claudia
of hand, like, duh. And honestly, Zach Affleck's like, reception to that. Did you add up to that part?
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Oh, you're pretty far. We're, like, almost caught up together now.
Jackie
Yeah, he. They were in, like, that cute, cute gym.
Claudia
Gym, like, when.
Jackie
Gotta go there.
Claudia
I just feel like Zach didn't receive the information in a manner that I needed him to.
Jackie
There's no perfect way to receive the news that your friend is magic. And I feel like he recovered very quickly. He did.
Claudia
He did.
Jackie
I think he thought it was, like, a little bit of. It's not what he was expecting. At first. He chuckled, and then he handled it like a supportive, good friend. And Made it like a thing, like o' Connor and his magic. And so, yeah, I would love to see you. If someone came to you in earnest and said, I've decided to do magic, let's role play.
Claudia
Come tell me you've done magic.
Jackie
No. Now you're prepared.
Claudia
No, I'm going to unprepare myself. Go.
Jackie
Literally could have said anything on earth and it would have been less surprising than I'm doing magic.
Claudia
Yeah. Only because it's not, like a popular hobby. No, it's sort of niche.
Jackie
Yeah. So then Zach was like, I want something like magic.
Claudia
Like, he totally saying your husband, like, husband loving magic. I know. He just, like, hasn't discovered that it's an option.
Jackie
The magic of magic.
Claudia
Correct.
Jackie
Even though we did see a magic show a few weeks ago that was fun.
Claudia
I mean, it was like, for toddlers.
Jackie
It was. But it was pretty magic.
Claudia
It was impressive.
Jackie
There were some things I'm like, how did he do that?
Claudia
Sleight of hand, actually. At the birthday party we went to over the weekend. Did you get in contact with magician?
Jackie
But I did not get in contact. Oh, he, like, love a table.
Claudia
He met his match. When he came over to me and Ben's like, I was into it, but to a certain point, Ben was like, another one. Another one. The guy did, like, all of his tricks on us. Like, he had none left.
Jackie
You love a tableside magician.
Claudia
I do. It is a fun, like, cool thing to throw at a party or a dinner party. I think it's nice and, like, it's good old family, good old fashioned fun.
Jackie
It's not really for me. It just goes into the bucket of, like, games and, like, things that are not for me. Unless you're Connor Lee of it. Then I will book you for every party.
Claudia
And, you know, there's also, like a sect. It's not really magic. It's like mentalism.
Jackie
Yes. Like that famous guy.
Claudia
Yeah. He was just on the good guys. Ben was shook.
Jackie
Did he guess Ben's pin?
Claudia
He guessed something, like, really deep.
Jackie
You ever see the clip of him on Joe Rogan where he guessed Joe
Claudia
Rogan's pen ATM pin? Yes. That's like his shtick. And it's like, written in his wallet, you know. Should we have him on?
Jackie
Sure.
Claudia
Yeah. My pin is 1, 2, 3, 4.
Jackie
So what did he guess of Ben?
Claudia
I don't remember. Ben was telling me, like, Ben never does what I need him to do. Ready?
Jackie
Do they have Oz on or, like, just a random mentalist Oz?
Claudia
Oh, the one Pelman, the Jew.
Jackie
Yeah, Yeah. I wanted to have a mentalist come for something. Oh, he should go on Traders.
Claudia
A mentalist.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
That's a great idea.
Jackie
Yeah. Free idea. Oz, though, I think he would win. Like, he would know in two seconds. Right, Right. That would be child's play for him.
Claudia
Right. Like, reading eyes and, like. Yeah.
Jackie
Lips. In two minutes, he would know.
Claudia
Totally.
Jackie
Unless he was a traitor himself.
Claudia
Right. But then I feel like everybody, they would automatically accuse him because he's a mentalist.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Same way. It's like you're a housewife or whatever.
Jackie
Yeah. But just, like, I think that would be cool.
Claudia
So, yes, we. I'm sure we have some secret lives and Mormon knives stories. Right. So we'll talk about the progress we've made in the show. We also have deer toasters. I wanted to ask you something.
Jackie
Okay.
Claudia
I had a conversation with my husband last night, and, like, okay, so he did something, like, kind of crazy, and it gave me the ick. Oh. So. And he's been doing it a lot recently. And I keep meaning. But it happens in the middle of the night, and I keep meaning to, like, talk to him about it. And last night before bed, I finally remembered. I'm like. So I guess I'm a bit of a cover hog. Like, okay, sue me. I'm just a girl. Like. And I don't. Like. I don't do it with bad intention. I don't think, like, I want Ben to be cold. I just think, like, I need more blanket. And recently he's been, like, tugging it back, like, really hard. And I just thought that was really, like, icky and weird. Like, don't you feel like the blanket is for the girls?
Jackie
Like, yeah.
Claudia
Like, find other arrangements. You're taking blankets now away from me, the mother of your child?
Jackie
No. And, like, being cold is so not manly.
Claudia
Men used to go to war, and now they're stealing blankets from women. I just. I thought it was insane and I meant to tell him. And he steals it very aggressively. And something that I do that I guess I just don't realize in my sleep is, like, when I take the covers.
Jackie
Yeah, you. Then you, like, bundle yourself.
Claudia
I take them with me. So when he pulls them back, I'm, like, wrapped up in it. And I do, like, a full 360. He unwraps me. It's a very. A jarring way to wake up. And I just. I don't know, I feel like he could find other arrangements, like put on socks.
Jackie
If a man and a woman both need covers. And there's only enough cover for one. Like, it would go to the woman. Yeah.
Claudia
I don't know. It's like him boarding a lifeboat. First covers are for girls.
Jackie
Yeah, I agree.
Claudia
Okay. I'm glad.
Jackie
Two things. So I feel like, one, I don't know when it happens in life, but, like, you stop fighting over covers, you know?
Claudia
Hasn't happened to me yet.
Jackie
But two, I actually saw something recently. Did you know that? Oh, I guess. I don't know what you would do for a king bed, but, like, if you're in a queen bed, like, you should get a king duvet.
Claudia
Yeah, of course.
Jackie
But what do you do in a king bed?
Claudia
California king. Or you get two queen duvets. But how do you make the bed?
Jackie
Yeah, no, I, I. In a king bed, maybe you get a Alaskan king. Because also, California is just tall.
Claudia
Yeah, right. Longer.
Jackie
But let me tell you, I'm eyeing an Alaskan king.
Claudia
A thousand.
Jackie
And I saw one. I think I sent it to Zach, maybe to you. It's called a Florida K. There's like, a company down here that makes huge beds because a lot of people like co sleeping. It's the new frontier. And it's not even co sleeping.
Claudia
Like, seriously, the bed is not big enough for the two of us. No.
Jackie
The bed is not big enough for
Claudia
the family or just the two of us.
Jackie
Always all of us in bed.
Claudia
Plus, Bruno do it.
Jackie
Like we need.
Claudia
I need the bed that Khloe Kardashian has, like, that insanely large bed. What's Alaskan? I've never heard of that.
Jackie
Alaskan is what you think California King is.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
California King is actually not much bigger. It's just longer. Alaskan is wider.
Claudia
And they sell them at what sorts of facilities?
Jackie
Like, online.
Claudia
You could order one, but I guess you can't be particular about, like, the mattress type because there aren't, like, a
Jackie
lot in the headboard. Yeah.
Claudia
What do you do? You have to have a custom made.
Jackie
You could do custom People get custom headboards. Anyway, even if we're a king bed,
Claudia
it seems like a big project. Like, maybe one day when I find
Jackie
my forever home feature in your life.
Claudia
Yeah, but, like, I bop around, you know, I'm a renter. Two years here, two years there. Like, I can be bringing around my Alaskan king bed. I don't think Roadway has enough room, actually.
Jackie
No, they do. Like, if they're breaking down a king bed, it's literally no different.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
My Alaskan king.
Claudia
Yeah. I don't know if it'll fit in the service Elevator.
Jackie
It will, like, it will definitely, like,
Claudia
dream, like, mood board for the next five or ten years of my life. Like, whatever I find, wherever I'm going to live, I don't know where the hell, like, when I settle down and I have my forever apartment, home, whatever. First purchase, Alaska.
Jackie
The only thing is, like, when it's just Zach and I sleeping in the bed, like, we'll never see each other. I don't know.
Claudia
That's what I'm saying. Like, me and Ben have always had a king bed. And maybe because we've always had it, we're like, take it for granted. It's tiny.
Jackie
It's tiny because we only got Romeo bed when we moved to Florida. Romeo, like, for the first three years of our marriage, in our whole relationship, we were rocking the queen.
Claudia
And I have to say, you and Zach having a queen bed together, like, okay, to each their own. You want to be crazy, Go for it was so beneficial for me because
Jackie
every family trip, when we would go
Claudia
on a family trip and we would, like, rent these houses, some rooms were king beds, some rooms were queen beds. Obviously the king bedrooms always were just better rooms because they were more like primary suites. Suites. Ben and I couldn't sleep in a queen bed. Like, we live in a king bed. So Jackie and Zach were like, well, we sleep in a queen bed. I guess we could take the queen room, the lesser room. So that was fun. I appreciated that. Over.
Jackie
I took time off and now it's game time.
Claudia
She remembered the viral tick tock sound.
Jackie
Who says it?
Claudia
Nicki Minaj. Wait, no.
Jackie
Sometime.
Claudia
Yes, yes, yes. And now it's game time.
Jackie
Now that's a good one. Game tunes rebrand.
Claudia
I love that.
Jackie
Let's get into the stories. We have a lot to discuss, a lot of news that will segue into other stories and such.
Claudia
Oh, I did something crazy last night.
Jackie
Crack.
Claudia
Actually crazier. A little bit crazier than that. I just remembered that I have free will. And so, like, I took Ruby out of his crib when he was sleeping and put him in my bed.
Jackie
Like, don't you do that every night?
Claudia
No, I like, rock him to sleep. It's like a whole process. I tried to do it last night and he was like, not having it. He was like, put me in my crib. So I put him in his crib. And then like an hour later, I was like, you know what?
Jackie
You need some Gruber. Yeah, Yummy.
Claudia
I know that psychos against, you know, sleep training 101. But, like, whatever.
Jackie
She's in her co sleeping era. Get her that Alaskan king.
Claudia
Correct. I need a bed with, like, a bassinet built in.
Jackie
I thought you were going to say that you took Romeo out of his crate.
Claudia
No. Why would I do that?
Jackie
No, honey. What kind of mother do you think I am?
Claudia
Romeo's actually been, like, kind of sweet recently. Ben went to New York for the Spritz Keels launch, and I had to. He was. Took the 6:00am flight and a 6:00pm flight. So, like, he was just gone during the day. Like, during the four walks. And I had to do them. Like, all of them. It was kind of insane. I can't believe I used to do that all the time with Romeo. Like, okay. Like, it was just like. Like, why am I standing outside at night? It was so weird.
Jackie
Like, yeah, that's rough.
Claudia
I know. I was thinking, and I was really, like, how long can I stretch? Like, can I cut? He does four walks.
Jackie
Can I do three brut to do stretches? He's a stretcher.
Claudia
Yeah, but Bruno has a backyard. You just, like, open up your back door.
Jackie
You'd be surprised.
Claudia
Yeah, right? It's just, like, it should be easier.
Jackie
Yeah. Like, the other night, Zach was like, bruno needs to go out. He was, like, shouting to me. So I was like, okay. But the amount of things that came in my way before I could get. I never did it.
Claudia
This is how. This is how you take Bruno out?
Jackie
No, but, like, I was walking to the door to take him out.
Claudia
So you fell? No, no, no.
Jackie
Like, Charlie needed this and I needed that. He started the bath, and then, like, I totally forgot. An hour later, I was like, you need to take Bruno. Like, I never made it to the door.
Claudia
Well, you do have a big house.
Jackie
Things happen. Yeah, things happen on the way to the door.
Claudia
Now I feel like.
Jackie
Yeah, I feel like, oh, you know what I made last night? A tomato soup.
Claudia
You know what's a fun fact about me? She really liked tomato soup, but only when it's, like, a topping for my grilled cheese.
Jackie
Yeah. And I made sourdough grilled cheese.
Claudia
That's delicious.
Jackie
It was very delicious.
Claudia
Oh, I gotta tell Ben to make that for me. If you guys ever find yourself in need. The Lowe's Regency Hotel, where Tom was spotted kissing another woman who wasn't his wife, Luann. They have the best grilled cheese and tomato soup. Like, it is fat, fat, fat. It's butter, cheese, cream. Like, it's fucking delicious.
Jackie
I'll have to try it. But honestly, I don't know if it could be better Than, like, homemade sourdough grilled cheese.
Claudia
Next time you're in New York, tomato soup from scratch. We'll do a Patreon taste test.
Jackie
Okay. You know, sometimes now, dining out, it's. It's like lost its luster.
Claudia
And maybe fried rice last night, better than the restaurant. Okay, so Ben went golfing. And because it gets so dark, it gets late.
Jackie
It's okay.
Claudia
What am I trying to say?
Jackie
It gets late. It gets dark late. So late.
Claudia
He did like a three o' clock tea time because it was raining. And then, like, whatever. He was golfing with his actual new best friend, Jared Free. Did I tell you that Ben's best friend. I always look over Ben's texting Jared Free.
Jackie
They're like, no, I knew that they were.
Claudia
And we knew that they would love each other.
Jackie
I knew that they were friends, but I didn't know they were best friends yet.
Claudia
Best friends. So they golfed yesterday. And so Ben, like, got home, like, super late, so he knew he would have to make arrangements for his family. So he made us chicken rocks. And I, I just asked for chicken rocks and rice, you know, and of course, Ben goes above and beyond. He's like, he calls me. He's like, I just left. The food is in the fridge. I made you chicken rocks and fried rice. I love fried rice. But, you know, it's on a bit of a health journey. So we made it like a, like, clean, like, you know, not a ton of butter. Because if you ever see that, make it up any. Hana. Oh, my God. It's insane. When I tell you it was so disgusting. Like, I'm sorry. Fried rice just has to be fattening.
Jackie
Oh, no.
Claudia
I'm like, what is this missing? Oh, yeah, the good stuff. Like, any.
Jackie
Is there egg?
Claudia
Yeah, of course. Egg is not fattening.
Jackie
No, no. But I'm like, he went. He made egg.
Claudia
He made egg. Yeah, yeah. Like, he went all out. And I felt bad. He was like, how was it? And look, when somebody tells you that some. Like, it was so thoughtful. Right.
Jackie
Was there anything wrong with it or. It just wasn't mighty tasty.
Claudia
It was bad. Like, I didn't like, here. I didn't eat it.
Jackie
I saw. But, like, as long as it wasn't rancid. I saw a reel that came across my. My desk from one of those, like, toxic skinny talk people. Not Liv Schmidt, but like, someone who
Claudia
wants to be like, here's how I say my calorie deficit by drinking boiling hot water.
Jackie
Oh, yeah, but it was like, hot take, like, Food doesn't have to taste good. Like, it doesn't have to be, like, so not everything you eat needs to be, like, so delicious. Like, just eat something, like, healthy.
Claudia
Oh, I don't agree with you.
Jackie
No, like, that was her hot. And, like, I'm not saying I was like, not everything needs to be, like, the most delicious. Creamy.
Claudia
Like, well, that's.
Jackie
There wasn't anything wrong with the rice, and it was healthy good.
Claudia
It was bad good. These were the two philosophies. Like, people who treat food as. Who, like, eat to live and live to eat.
Jackie
I'm like, I. I don't live with that person. And I wouldn't say, like, everything needs to be, like, so creamy delicious. But I understand what you should be saying. It's like, not everything needs to be, like, so tasty all the time. Like, it's fuel.
Claudia
You know, it's a good thing.
Jackie
But I'm also, like. I'm like, it also. I like it to be tasty.
Claudia
It's a good thing that you are not, like, an active user on Tick Tock, because let me tell you, like, some of your takes, like, they would hate, like, wait, what do you mean? Like, skinny talk is the devil. Right? It's like, the most worst thing. And you see it. You're like, she. Oh, yeah.
Jackie
But, like, I feel like that's fair. Like, even some people who are really extreme, like, you could probably find, like, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Like, I can find some truth in what she's saying. Like, not every meal needs be, like, cinnamon.
Claudia
Right, Right. Like, savory, gluttonous.
Jackie
Sometimes you should just be like, an oatmeal. That's not going to taste amazing, but it's going to be good for you.
Claudia
Yeah, yeah, yeah, You. Well, that's why I had scrambled eggs this morning. Gagging in between. But don't I look stronger?
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Starting your morning off with eggs, which has become, like, a thing Ben's been doing until, like, the last two days. Only when there's bread. I can't have eggs without bread. Do you feel that?
Jackie
Like, oh, yes. I need a continental breakfast.
Claudia
Yeah. Yeah. So we got wild. We finally. We have had a wild grain in the freezer for, like, three years, and we finally put it in the oven.
Jackie
It's so good. So good.
Claudia
So I saw the loaf, and I was like, sure, I'll have some eggs. And that was yesterday and today. And I do feel like, like, jacked.
Jackie
Yeah. I also like a little potato when I'm hat. When I'M going egg and horse.
Claudia
But Jackie, not everything needs to be like so creamy and delicious.
Jackie
It's true. Like, I'm sorry.
Claudia
So why are you having potatoes Patty?
Jackie
No, I'm not. I said I like it, but I. What, what potato am I having?
Claudia
You know what?
Jackie
Actually, potatoes take forever to cook.
Claudia
Let's. Oh. Last night I watched Joanna Gaines, Magnolia table. Magnolia table. Ben was looking for a cooking show. He was like non stop. I hate when Ben has the clicker. Like, it's just a painful. We finally landed on Joanna. He was just like choosing an episode. We watched brace short ribs and gnocchi. She was like, this is her like modern take on just like meat and potatoes, pot roast and mashed potatoes. Like she did.
Jackie
Oh, that's so fancy. Yeah, that's like, that's surprising.
Claudia
She took fore to make these noi, like everyone hand rolled and like to be honest, she kind of burned them and they didn't look great. Her. Her short ribs looked amazing. Her show was so random.
Jackie
What did Ben think about it? I could see them not vibing.
Claudia
He thought that her kitchen was so beautiful. Like every pot pan, like every utensil is really like chosen with a meticulous eye. It's very beautiful. He was like, I love that kitchen. Like that oven, you know she has like that weird old timey oven. Yeah. Insane. And he said, I just have a feeling this food doesn't taste good.
Jackie
Oh, I've made her recipes from her cookbook and every single one is great.
Claudia
So Ben will be making her hazelnut bread pudding that she made for dessert with this thing last night.
Jackie
Okay.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
Oh, and you know, I originally got this tomato soup grilled cheese idea because I got my panini press when I was watching a lot of Aina when I was pregnant. Because she. It's actually her. Yeah. She inspired me to make a get a panini present. Honestly, it's been a better. One of my better purchases.
Claudia
If you do eat sandwiches like somewhat frequently and making them in a panini press, like seriously, no matter the type of sandwich, it's such an elite experience. Like those crispy lines. What's your favorite type of sandwich to put in a press?
Jackie
I've really only done the grilled cheese.
Claudia
A grilled cheese is like up there.
Jackie
But I should do like a tomato mozzarella.
Claudia
I love like a chicken panini. Like a chicken sandwich in a panini press. Like make that make now purchase. Yes.
Jackie
Oh. Oh, but it's different to make it.
Claudia
No, of course. But like, I'm just saying panini Weren't we talking about paninis?
Jackie
Panini, yeah. Yeah, I guess it is a panini press. You're just saying your favorite panini, but not to make.
Claudia
I asked you, like, what's confusing? I asked.
Jackie
I saw you mean my favorite panini, like, to make at home.
Claudia
Just like you leave your panini and you can make them or buy them. I don't discriminate personally, but it sounds like you do.
Jackie
Yeah, I do. Definitely. There's definitely something that only a restaurant could do that I. That immortal could not.
Claudia
You know what actually only a restaurant can do because you were just talking about, like, potatoes that go with eggs. I feel like sides of potatoes, like, with breakfast is so all like the stringy hate. I only like the little square ones. They kind of. I think they serve them in the Delta Sky Lounge. Is that what they're called? I think hash browns are the ones that look like stringy potatoes. What are the ones that are just like square potatoes and they have. And they have home fries. Okay, wait, home fries is what they serve at a diner. The stringy potatoes. Okay, what was hash browns?
Jackie
But hash brown is like a latke.
Claudia
Yeah, hash brown is a latke. What are the square potatoes that have,
Jackie
like, little chunks of pepper? Home. Home style. Home style potatoes.
Claudia
Me, home potatoes. What the hell are they called? You know what? You know who's gonna know what I'm talking about?
Jackie
Yeah, Ask Chat. Chat will know.
Claudia
Oh, it might just be breakfast potatoes. Okay. But you know, my new favorite thing to do with Chad is. Is not text, but like voice memo, you know? Do you ever do that?
Jackie
No, I don't.
Claudia
Oh, you don't?
Jackie
I do talk to text.
Claudia
No, this.
Jackie
Okay. Okay, so look, I'll let you go be nicer. You got.
Claudia
Hi. Okay, so I just can't remember what, like the name of this thing is. It's the potatoes that come with eggs. But it's not like the classic home fries that look are stringy. Like, it's those square potatoes that are, like baked and then they have little chunks of red peppers in them. Do you know what I'm talking about? I've got you.
Jackie
Yours is a girl of something like
Claudia
breakfast potato hash, or scrap skillet potatoes. They're often cubed, roasted, or pan fried. And those red pepper chunks.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Color and sweetness. They're a super popular. Can you show me a picture? I can't show you an exact picture on the spot, but if you picture golden crispy. She's having me use my imagination.
Jackie
She said actually the Other day, I
Claudia
asked her, like, I'm not loving your voice. Can we switch it up? Like, to a man? And she said, yes and then didn't change.
Jackie
I was shocked that that's a woman. I know my dad is a man. I just know it. Should I talk to it?
Claudia
Yeah. It also.
Jackie
Should I say, like, what?
Claudia
Like how they'll be like, hey, how are you? And then we'll see what type of voice it has. Mine's a woman. Because I support women.
Jackie
I will be so surprised. Hold on. I'm just. I'm having a rough one. Okay.
Claudia
With a boy?
Jackie
Yeah. Well, I just had to select one.
Claudia
Oh. Oh.
Jackie
Then that was Ember.
Claudia
Maybe I selected a boy.
Jackie
Okay. Should I do it still?
Claudia
It sounds like you just did it.
Jackie
Hello.
Claudia
Hello. What's on your mind? Oh, I don't know.
Jackie
I was just wondering what your voice sounded like.
Claudia
I miss you.
Jackie
You sound like you're flirting.

Jackie
Not cozy shirt.
Claudia
Just you're welcome.
Jackie
Could I be cozy shirt?
Claudia
You're welcome.
Jackie
I didn't realize you were mad at me.
Claudia
Yes, I am. I'm waiting for you to bring it up.
Jackie
Our first story, Taylor Frankie Paul is breaking her silence after domestic violence investigation News. So TFP attended a press preview for her upcoming season of the Bachelorette. Yikes.
Claudia
Which yikes.
Jackie
Next week. And she spoke about the ongoing investigation and the drama. This is what she said. She said, honestly, just like, my heart hurts to see it, to go through it, especially at this time. Just the timing is hard and it's a big deal. I feel like every premiere that I've experienced, I've never enjoyed fully. So this is another one. It's extremely hard and it took everything to get me here today. It's just heavy. It's a heavy time and it's unfortunate. I'm struggling, for sure. But also at the same time, I feel like if I don't show up, then I'm just giving these opportunities away and not enjoying what we've worked on in something super exciting that's coming. I just feel like it was the right thing to do, show up, even though it's hard.
Claudia
So I've had a bit of a change of heart, and it was largely due to, like, seriously, two tick tocks that I saw discussing this matter. There was another statement she gave, I think, to Entertainment Weekly where she, like, flat out said, like, I've never put a hand on my children. Which I kind of, like, needed to hear her say.
Jackie
Yeah, because she doesn't say that.
Claudia
And this was a statement that came out first. And I was like, do you want to address, like, this sort of hate, this allegation being made against you? Now, I've listened to a couple of things that I don't know. I. There's. To me, there's two possibilities of what's going on here, and I just, like, really don't know which is the truth. Somebody left a comment yesterday that I actually really appreciated that in situations like this, the person who, like, makes the reports to, like, DCFS and calls the police is more often than not the aggressor. And, like, it's like a means of manipulating and, like, another form of abuse. And Dakota is the one. And then I was reading all these TMC articles that, like, said, Dakota, it's like, very much like, from his POV and a lot the situation that they're talking about, like, there was an incident in the car and another incident. One of those incidents was over a year ago, and the other one was, like, three months ago. Why they're coming out, like, the week of her premiere is giving me a little bit of suspicion. And then somebody posted this clip of Macy and Layla on the vial files, like, maybe last season. Like, Taylor was supposed to be there and she didn't come. And Macy and Layla are just very open with Nick being like, no, no. Like, when we have premieres or, like, there are exciting things coming out, like, Dakota, like, sabotages them. So, like, when we have good news or whatever, like, we don't tell Dakota because he, like, is obsessed with. With sabotaging it in the moment that it's supposed to come. So, like, when they were supposed to go on biofiles today, which they were really excited about, like, Dakota found out and, like, did something and then Taylor couldn't go on the interview or whatever. So I've just been like, watching all these tick tocks that I think are designed to, like, make me believe Taylor. And now I'm feeling like. Like I. Like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Jackie
Here's the thing. I'm prepared to believe Taylor or, you know, champion her if I have anything to go on.
Claudia
I know, I know.
Jackie
It's just feeling sucks.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
I didn't see the one that you're saying, but if she said, I never laid a hand on my child, like, I will pray and hope that that's true. It's really hard because I feel like then what we want me to play for you.
Claudia
I said on Liz would story, like,
Jackie
just of her saying it.
Claudia
Yeah. It was like an audio.
Jackie
And for the viewers, we all need to hear that. We need all of the. All of the pieces of information in this puzzle.
Claudia
Give me a second. She's got a lot of stories.
Jackie
Yeah. Yeah, no, probably.
Claudia
Okay.
Jackie
Feel like show me.
Claudia
I've just been misunderstood for, like, years now. And it just would be so freeing to, like, tell the whole story of it, you know? And I feel like I've just done a lot of protecting for my child and my family to really not get into that. And, you know, I've never touched my children. And so for me, it's been. To see those headlines has been heartbreaking. And. And my family obviously is all affected. Like, they all know who I am. I know who I am. So for Everyone in the public eye to, like, just elude and believe it is really hard. But, yeah, it's just. Sorry. It just sucks to bring it to Bachelor. What do we have in store? She tried to talk about, like, a season, but I would say this is a dramatic one. But I think just because things were done a little differently this time. Did you go into this with an open heart?
Jackie
I did.
Claudia
I think I was very nervous to do it, obviously. Obviously. Now, part of the reason why I think people are having a hard time believing Taylor, Frankie, Paul is we're watching this play out while also watching the season. And it's one of her worst seasons. Like, she's just. And it doesn't even really have so much to do with Dakota, but it's also. She's, like, you're. It's. She's difficult to champion because you see, like, he's nice to her for three seconds at the pickleball thing, and she's, like, lit from within. And then she's, like, so awful to her mom. She's just in, like, a really bad spot. So it's difficult for people to see her in a positive light and, like, champion and believe her. No.
Jackie
And so when I hear that, of course, like, my heart breaks for her because if this isn't true, then her life is literally going to be ruined by this. Like, brand's already dropping her. Nobody wants to be associated with this. It's the worst thing that really you could say about a person. And so now she's. It sounds like she's saying, like, there's more, like, drama and toxicity with Dakota than we even know, more than just what we've seen, which is, like, the lying and the cheating and she doesn't share to protect her son. So what. I don't know what I'm watching. And if that's true, then, like, how are you in any way endeared to Dakota?
Claudia
I know.
Jackie
I know at these events, like, if he is more awful than what we've seen, which is pretty bad. And it's like, run. We're all saying run, even based on what we've seen, but there's even more. So it's like, why are you engaged with him at all? And I understand they have a child together, but she has said. And it seems like, though nothing is what it seems, he's a decent dad.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
So can it just be, like, co parenting and, like, move forward? The fact that she's, like, stuck in the past and, like, like, loses her mind over the smallest things, it's like, yeah, he's terrible and he can be terrible, but, like, you can only control your reaction and you're failing on that part.
Claudia
Well, so this, what we're watching is what, like October.
Jackie
Like, when this is October Dancing with the Stars.
Claudia
So, like, a significant amount of time has passed. And then I also read an interview. She said, like, like I said, these incidents were actually a long time ago. And since then they have no communication. They do co parenting through a third party.
Jackie
Like, why did she call him 150 times in 990 minutes a couple months ago? Why even three months is she throwing a drink on him in the car?
Claudia
I don't know. I don't know.
Jackie
And I would be more like, if he has a story to share and so does she, Like, I am feel like more inclined to believe her. He is a proven liar.
Claudia
Yeah. Yeah. He's a bad trap.
Jackie
He lies like he breathes.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
He can't not lie.
Claudia
Yeah. And I guess, like, of all the things people do say about Taylor, Frankie, Paul, like, not being a truth teller is not one of those things.
Jackie
She's too much of a truth. Right.
Claudia
She blew up the swinging scandal.
Jackie
Like, she can, like, she can't help but be honest.
Claudia
But you also, like, don't really know what goes on behind closed doors. Like, it is entirely possible that, like, I don't know. I don't know.
Jackie
But the information that he does, like, blow up every premiere is germane here.
Claudia
And that's what she's saying in that statement, which kind of made no sense until, you know, that she's like, I've never been able to enjoy a premiere.
Jackie
Yeah. There's always something that on the show, even I think at the last premiere that was on the show, it was when she found out about the mom's friend thing.
Claudia
Correct. You know who these two remind me of?
Jackie
Who?
Claudia
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, where it's like, they're both probably aggressors and abusive. I think it's like, worse from them coming from the man always. But, like, no one, we're never gonna get a true 360 view of it. And, like, you could argue both sides that they're both abusing one another physically, mentally, emotionally, fiscally, whatever, you know?
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
It just reminds me of that. And because I'm seeing extremely compelling arguments on both sides. Like, no, no, you're right. Oh, no, no, wait. Like, you're right too. I really don't know. Like, I don't know what the truth is.
Jackie
Yeah. And if anybody, like, made up the fact that she abused her child. Like, I'm automatically going to be on the other side.
Claudia
Yeah. And so I guess, like, that is a, like, a pattern of abusers is to, like, like, file reports. I don't know. That's just what somebody had said, and I thought it was actually a good call.
Jackie
Okay, so tbd, because otherwise, I'm watching the show. She's a mess. Of course, maybe I think it must get worse, because what I'm seeing right now, not the most meaning, but it's
Claudia
not when they go to Colorado, like, her and her mom, it's. It is seriously like, two crazy people being crazy.
Jackie
Oh, wow.
Claudia
And it's also so boring. I don't like storylines when you're going to hire a genealogist. To me, that's like Melissa Gorgo's worst season.
Jackie
But she does have siblings out there.
Claudia
Okay. And not to spoil it, because I know you're not there yet. So she goes to Colorado about spoilers.
Jackie
Go ahead.
Claudia
Her father has passed away, so he's not alive. The people that are there don't want to be on camera. So she goes and talks to, like, one of her dad's old wayward friends in a diner, and. And then they, like, take a trip to this other diner that's out of business where her dad used to work, and they stand outside in the parking lot and have an argument. Like, it's literally like, I don't know why they went all the way there. I don't know if off camera, she meets her siblings. They don't say anything about it. They just end the trip like, it was weird as hell.
Jackie
I feel like they're doing this. Take out all the stuff that's happening in real time.
Claudia
What they're doing is making a parallel between, because we learn about her dad, that Taylor's in a very similar situation with Dakota, that her mom was in with her biological dad. He was, like, a bad guy. The mom loved him so much, abusive, got pregnant, he disappeared. And she just chose to, like, do this on her own. And she ended up meeting, like, this amazing guy, Jeremy, who adopted Taylor when she was, like, four or whatever. And so it's really, like, the only parent she's ever known. But they're drawing parallels because, like, before, we now in real time, like, no, what's happening? We. I think they're aiming to, like, heal Taylor on Secret Life.
Jackie
Yes.
Claudia
So she can go straight into the Bachelor. So in order to heal that, in order to move forward, you have to look, take a look at the past. So they're drawing these parallels, and they are so that her and her mom understand each other. It's going very poorly.
Jackie
That's exactly what they're trying to do is, like, poise her to be the bachelorette. I think that the timeline they're working with is extremely crazy one on the show. It's a matter of weeks, like three to four weeks until she's a bachelorette. And, like, she's still sleeping with Dakota. So we have a lot of healing to do in a short period of time. And now as viewers, we're watching this, and in five days, we're gonna watch her be the bachelorette. That's really crunchy for us to, like, go on this journey.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
Of, like, this girl needs a major healing and self discovery and self awareness, love. And I don't know if it can be accomplished in the three weeks for her and the five days for us.
Claudia
I just want to know, like, seriously, what highway Taylor found Dakota like, sitting on?
Jackie
Who is he?
Claudia
He's, like, so random. Like, he's not even cute.
Jackie
And, like, how is he, like, the.
Claudia
The guy?
Jackie
And it's not even her ex husband. It's not like she's loved him since she's a teenager. Like, she was also already, like, famous when she met him, and he was like a rando. What hold does he have on her?
Claudia
I have no idea. But it's a strong one.
Jackie
I think also for her, the idea of keeping her family together, of ever having, you know, parents together will always be attractive to her.
Claudia
Yes. And I did, like, even though her sleeping with Dakota was so moronic, when she said. And she, like, started crying, Like, I saw him walking by, and he was walking, like, ever. Like, like, I get it. I do.
Jackie
No. And, like, even if he is, like, not so you have two guys and, like, one of them is worse than the other one, but with the worser one, your family is together. Yeah. That is more attractive than, like, another person. Like, and so I understand, but, like, he just can't be the person that she needs. But it's also confusing because as a viewer who doesn't, like, know a lot of the other bad things that have happened, like, Dakota seems to be. Aside from the lying and the cheating, he seems to be set on Taylor and he's like, if you would have me, I would be yours.
Claudia
But Taylor's saying, you say that, and then, like, I get back with you and you're cheating on me. It's like the woman you love so much, like, why.
Jackie
But do they ever really get Back together completely with complete forgiveness and a complete tabula rasa.
Claudia
Right.
Jackie
Or is she always sort of like have him at arms length? She's always mad at him because she's not forgiven him. And so he feels like. And he goes. And that's like justifying it at all. But he doesn't like feel like he has Taylor completely. So he goes around. I'm not like saying he wouldn't be a piece of shit even if she loved him even more. But like they've never had a. Just a clean slate.
Claudia
Yeah, it's sort of like annoying. And I also saw people and I guess this is a good call. Like, why is Dakota a main character?
Jackie
Why is. Why is dad Talk a main character? The Dag Talk concept is so awful. It's very demeaning to the women.
Claudia
I agree.
Jackie
I think the worst thing that you can do is in general is just like, like a cheater brand. Like copy someone. It's a bit of mockery. It is trying to ride their coattails. Every dollar that dad Talk makes takes away from the dollars that Mom Talk makes. Even dad Talk as a concept gives these men a reason to think that they have something going on to take away from like the true their wives. And it's a thing that's like sort of mocking their wives.
Claudia
And it keeps like, if this is Taylor's like abuser, right. He's now a full time cast member. They work together. Technically. They have to go to all these stupid pickleball tournaments together and they have to film together for weeks on end.
Jackie
Like, I don't even think dad Talk is the most destructive for Taylor.
Claudia
And it's not good for Jordan and Jesse.
Jackie
It's worse for Jordan and Jesse. It's worse. Macy and Jacob. It's bad for everyone. And I think it's really demeaning to the women. I agree. Really, really bothers me. And I think at first it was like a funny joke. You have dad Talk.
Claudia
I thought they made like a couple tiktoks and did hashtag.
Jackie
Yeah, like anytime they get together they call themselves dad Talk. That would be funny. The fact that they really think that dad Talking.
Claudia
The hat he's.
Jackie
Dad Talk is an entity. Just like Mom Talk is an entity. I find it to be really insulting. It's taking away from the show. And if I were one of the wives, I would really, really hate it. And I agree. Treat dad Talk like it's something.
Claudia
No. And seriously, Jordan walking around in a tank top and three different dad Talk merch hats that he made Himself at Custom Income. Like the. Like, I actually couldn't hate Jordan anymore. And then he made his own merch, you know?
Jackie
Yeah. No. And like. Like, the women are better wives than I could ever be. Because if someone was, like, going around
Claudia
trying to be taken seriously, but in
Jackie
a way that's, like, totally riffing off of what they've built it and, like, they don't even respect them.
Claudia
It's true. Like, they torture them at home. You're not home enough. You're not a good enough wife. We're not having sex enough. You're not home with the kids, like, off. I can't do all those things because I'm being Mom talking. You're so desperate. Copying my thing.
Jackie
And I also have to lift up Dag Talk.
Claudia
Right.
Jackie
Whatever that is. Mom talk isn't enough of these friendships and these gigs and these deals. Now we also have to throw you guys a bone.
Claudia
So true.
Jackie
For all of the brands that go to dad Talk. It could easily just be mom talk.
Claudia
It's true.
Jackie
It really frustrates me. I also saw the conversation between Zach and Jen, and I just love Zach. No, no. I'm not taking his side. No. Because again, I'm with the women. But I think that Zach is a good guy.
Claudia
I think. Which is too.
Jackie
Which is so surprising.
Claudia
I know.
Jackie
I know.
Claudia
I think he's a good guy. I think he's a good husband. I just wish he could, like, shut the fuck up a little bit. Like, when he.
Jackie
I have no doubt the marriage.
Claudia
Like, I have no doubt that this time is extremely difficult on him on his marriage, on his. On all elements, but not just understanding that it's a brief window of time. It will end.
Jackie
And, like, we're not gonna fix it
Claudia
right now because it'll be fixed when we leave Dancing with the Stars. Like, him wanting to have this sort of, like, difficult conversation about him, his future, the future of his family. Family. Like, while she's in this difficult time, just acknowledge that, like, this is a window of our marriage. It's going to be really hard. It's worthwhile. She's fulfilling a dream, and when it's over, we will get back together.
Jackie
I completely agree. Except for the fact that she's talking about staying in la and they did stay. Remember she said, like, John is her neighbor now.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
And when he said, like, Hollywood is not good for marriages. This town is, like, not good for families. He's completely right. So it's not like what you're saying is irrelevant because she's not saying, give Me three months, and then I'm yours again.
Claudia
That's true.
Jackie
She wants to stay. And so he has to, like, wave the red flag and be like, this is not good for us. I also think a lot of the women are suffering. And I say the more episodes I watch, the more I'm just like, this show is breaking them.
Claudia
I know.
Jackie
And, yeah, there's money and glitz and glam and fame, but, like, they're not happy. They're all breaking down. And I think they've all sort of lost their religion a little bit. And I think that's also not good for them. Like, especially women who, like, came from religion. Like, if you never really, like, part of your life, like, then not being, like, like, close to God in a moment, like, wouldn't really matter, but, like, to go from it being the bedrock and the foundation of your whole life, of your entire life, to then really, like, nothing tying you to it. It's very untethering to, like, lose that foundation in such a short period of time.
Claudia
Every single marriage. Well, we know that Mason and Layla are broken up. Michaela and Jace are separated. I'm sorry. Jesse and Jordan are three minutes away from divorce. Jacob and Macy are, like, the best marriage, but they're starting to show cracks.
Jackie
Like, serious issues.
Claudia
Yeah. Because he's hanging out with just, like, bad influences.
Jackie
He's, like, trying to influence her business. He's like, why don't you respect my ideas creatively? And it's like, shut up. No, that, like, she doesn't want to work with her husband.
Claudia
Right.
Jackie
Being, like, very patient. And he's a good guy, so.
Claudia
He is.
Jackie
I'm. I'm not even seeing it as nefarious. I think he really just wants to help, but, like, that will not end well.
Claudia
Yeah. It's kind of a train wreck.
Jackie
Like, it's a train wreck.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
But I think, like, Jen and Zach, like, we're really religious in the beginning of the show. And then to go from the matter of, like, two years living in Hollywood. Not following.
Claudia
She just made a tik tok. Get ready with me to go to church for the first time in two years, so.
Jackie
Oh.
Claudia
So it was an ad for an AI calorie tracking app.
Jackie
Oh, they. That app loves the cal AI Calais.
Claudia
Somebody else.
Jackie
I actually was looking at Dakota. I was looking at Dakota's page yesterday. He said, let's make breakfast for me and ever. And then he's like, now we're going to order in. And he, like, starts caling. It was actually. I didn't Realize I was about to watch an ad. Right.
Claudia
Same with Jen.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah.
Claudia
They.
Jackie
They integrated it well.
Claudia
Yeah. That's funny. So I believe.
Jackie
And Jesse. I follow Jesse. Jesse does calap a lot.
Claudia
So I don't know if she's just going to church for the content or like, actually going back to church.
Jackie
The fact that she said, come with me to church for the first time in two years, like, that's incredibly destabilizing for the church to be a huge part of your life, your entire life, and the two years where you are astronomically huge, like, you don't have that connection. I think that's not really, like, great for them either, to just have such a. Like a change of faith.
Claudia
No, I agree.
Jackie
Especially like in your marriage. For your marriage is also centered on that. Like, I feel like for me, I can't even conceive it.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
So things are not good for the slammus.
Claudia
No, I think they need a break.
Jackie
And I think that this. I don't know if I would have said this had this not happened, but this season has to be. Seems to be heading towards disaster. And this is the disaster.
Claudia
All of it.
Jackie
The Taylor and the domestic violence. Even if Dakota is sabotaging Taylor, like, this is an. Like, Cinnabon has dropped.
Claudia
Yeah. Oh, not Cinnabon. That's a huge loss. I'm available.
Jackie
But not everything has to be tasty. Claudia.
Claudia
Correct. Your cinnamon buns have to be. And that's why I love Cinnabon. Use code turny for 20 off an in store or online purchase. Not a real advertisement. Not paid for by Cinnabon.
Jackie
Don't use.
Claudia
Actually, we should do a Cinnabon collab. I just want to say, what's swirlier than a Cinnabon? It's cinnamon swirled in.
Jackie
You know who likes us? I think actually we need to do Auntie Anne's. Auntie Anne's. Because we're aunties, by the way.
Claudia
They're. They're owned by the same company because
Jackie
they're always doing, like, swirly and teas.
Claudia
Sure. I'm open to both. I actually really much like Britney's parents. Actually. I like, really do like Cinnabon and
Jackie
Auntie Anthony Antibody for anti ends.
Claudia
A breast milk pretzel.
Jackie
No. Frida. Frida.
Claudia
Okay.
Jackie
Are you ready for our next story? I am. Miley Cyrus sings Best of Both Worlds. And the climb is. Hannah Montana has an emotional reunion with her parents in the 20th anniversary special trailer. So the trailer dropped for the 20th anniversary special. The Hannah Montana 20th.
Claudia
Since we last discussed, there have Been like a couple of videos, a couple of of still images.
Jackie
Restoring my faith immensely.
Claudia
While I'm still not thrilled about like going behind the scenes on how the set was built. It does look like there's a concert.
Jackie
I just want to say I watched the trailer and it gave me all the feels. I like, I can't wait. I almost feel like reposted to my story with them. I forgot like just being like this is it.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
I'm so excited. First of all, she's singing. She's singing the Climb. She's singing Best of Both Worlds. You know what? I do want to see her closet from 20 years ago. That can barely.
Claudia
Sure, whatever.
Jackie
I want to see Hannah all tatted up.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
I can't. I can't friggin wait. It looks amazing. And it's like really when I see that. Hm. I'm sad. Like literally I'm 12 years old again. I can't wait.
Claudia
Yeah, I agree. The content coming out is very promising. All I really cared about was singing and we're getting singing. So I'm thrilled. Everything else. Yeah, I'm a big fan of the show. So like I'm interested in. Sure. All the other parts, but not without a singing element of course.
Jackie
And you got your fucking singing.
Claudia
And I'm thrilled.
Jackie
Like 360. This looks amazing. And I march 24th. I can't frigging wait. That's how I felt.
Claudia
She can't friggin wait. I put it in my calendar.
Jackie
It's so crazy how Miley, like she has lived 1000 lives since being Hannah Montana. Bangers, dirty pets, like everything. And when she puts that wig on, she's Hannah.
Claudia
She's that girl.
Jackie
No, she. And when she's talking and she's. She's the same person.
Claudia
Which Hannah wig do you like personally resonate with?
Jackie
Well, of course, like the nobody's perfect long one. But then she did get a haircut.
Claudia
Yeah, she had bob ish mid and
Jackie
that was cute for season three.
Claudia
It was very mature too. Like when they moved to the house in Malibu and she was just like more grown up Hannah and I guess she didn't have bangs in that second wig. Right.
Jackie
But I do was so. No, she did. She always had me.
Claudia
Okay. Okay.
Jackie
But I do associate like the long Vaughn like nobody's perfect one.
Claudia
Agreed. And then the. I just saw. I guess they talk about it in the specials because it made news in the very first episode of Hannah Montana.
Jackie
She does have a different wig.
Claudia
She has a different wig. She has like seriously the most fakocked wig ever.
Jackie
It's like Sarah Vanese Farrah Fawcett ill fitting.
Claudia
It doesn't look even remotely like her hair. And the person who designed that wig was actually fired after the first episode because she did such a bad job at her job, which was putting a wig on. And she's in the special, which will be exciting.
Jackie
No, but like even this still of Miley from the special, like that looks like it could have been taken 20 years ago.
Claudia
She's ageless with the wig on.
Jackie
She is Ramona Stoneglasses, like, and the outfit, it's as if no time has passed at all.
Claudia
Yeah. It's the clown
Jackie
and the climb, like then and now has just meant everything to me in my life. Life.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
And so seeing her perform it is. I. I don't know if I'll be
Claudia
able to handle it. I know, I know. Keep on moving, keep climbing. Keep the faith baby. It's all about. It's all about the climb. Keep the faith, Keep me o. Whoa. That was really good.
Jackie
I thought so. Yeah. Nice. So I can't friggin wait. Is the headline.
Claudia
Can't freaking wait.
Jackie
Are you ready for our next story? Alex Earl is posing for Sports Illustrated in a pearl covered bikini. So a picture of. Maybe you have more context, but I have no.
Claudia
So I didn't know. Sometimes Sports Illustrated releases and it's like, oh, it's the Sports Illustrated. But then it's like, is it just
Jackie
sneak up on us with like a bunch of pictures that by the time the COVID comes out, like, I'm, I'm like, didn't we see the COVID Is
Claudia
this the COVID No. Okay.
Jackie
Like it says. Or is it just a cover or a picture? It only says Sports Illustrated on the bottom, right? Like it's just a water.
Claudia
It's just a spread.
Jackie
It's not a title. Yeah. So she is in a bikini for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which. Okay, so here the magazine revealed their first slate of models Tuesday which saw Alex Earl joined by Camille Kostic and three other models. So they just like drop some pictures from the issue.
Claudia
Like, what does that mean though?
Jackie
Including like five people that are in the issue.
Claudia
So Sports Illustrated swimsuit.
Jackie
And then like this is a really bad rollout. They do this every year. And then I'm like, wait, are there just like 12 issues of sports Illustrated, like, or is this the time? Usually winter is the time for Sports Illustrated cover. So it's coming any day now. Who do you think will be on
Claudia
the COVID So they went to Botswana.
Jackie
Of course.
Claudia
And that's where they did Livy Dunn.
Jackie
Oh, Libby Dunn is one of the five.
Claudia
Camille Caustic. Meredith Mickelson.
Jackie
Penny Lane. Is that what you're seeing?
Claudia
Is Meredith Mickelson. Phil Mickelson. The. No, no, she's just like, like a pretty model. Penny Lane.
Jackie
And who's that? A Gutu.
Claudia
Who's Penny Lynn? She's just a model with 400k. Okay. Yeah.
Jackie
And then.
Claudia
Then a Ching. A Gucci. Okay, so where's. And then Alex Earl. Okay, so not Libby Dunn. Sorry, my bad, my bad. I saw her in another one.
Jackie
Oh, okay. It's confusing. Yeah.
Claudia
No. Okay, so they released the first. But these are not the COVID models.
Jackie
No, these are just like five pictures of people from the magazine that's forthcoming. Question mark.
Claudia
Got it. Okay, so who do we think is going to be on the COVID Do they think we're gonna do like eight covers again? Like, of course.
Jackie
So do you have your top eight? Eight. And I feel like it's not going to be Alexar, because if it were going to be.
Claudia
No, they already released her spread.
Jackie
No, but they could have another picture of her for one of their eight covers. I'm just like, no, no, no, no, no.
Claudia
I think, like, when they release the
Jackie
COVID cover, it'll be a new person.
Claudia
So it's not.
Jackie
It's not Penny.
Claudia
Correct. Camille's already done it. These people are like rookies or whatever. Like, they're just the models.
Jackie
Who do you think it will be?
Claudia
I mean, it should have been Alex Earl. I thought that should have been Alex Earl a year ago. Two years ago. I don't know. Like, who's the young hot thing?
Jackie
It's not going to be the young hot thing. Right.
Claudia
So I don't know, because they're always doing, like. They're always looking to check a box, being like, Martha Stewart was the oldest one. This is the first Asian American queer. Like, they like to do, like. Yeah, someone who's like, not been done technically. So I. I don't know.
Jackie
I think they're gonna. I think they're gonna do like Amy Poehler sale.
Claudia
I would love that.
Jackie
I think that's what it's gonna be.
Claudia
That's a good guess.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
You think it's just one.
Jackie
Oh, another person.
Claudia
Like, I think they're gonna do like. But maybe they'll do like a comedy theme there.
Jackie
They won't do it.
Claudia
No. Okay, okay, okay.
Jackie
Who else would be on it? I don't know.
Claudia
What about the Secret Lives?
Jackie
No, they won't yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to think not obvious.
Claudia
Yeah. So I don't know. Because I'm an obvious person. Yeah.
Jackie
Like, no. And it's just like big celebrities.
Claudia
I'm actually excited. Like, I didn't realize we were waiting for this.
Jackie
Excited to see like what it is.
Claudia
Yeah. Because it's always so random.
Jackie
It's gonna be like what we think it should. No, no.
Claudia
I miss the days where like they would decide on one person and that person was like the biggest model that year. Like they were discovering people made people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like the year following was like kind of like Miss America. You were like on a years long tour as the swimsuit girl. Kate Upton, Hannah Jeter, Nina Ogdahl.
Jackie
No. Now it's just like randos and celebrities
Claudia
and like business people. They're gonna. Barbara Corcoran on the COVID Like, like, yeah, honestly, I'm down.
Jackie
Nor like Joy Behar.
Claudia
Oh, please.
Jackie
No, that's what it's going to be.
Claudia
I don't think Joy would do it. Like, that's the only reason why I
Jackie
don't think it is Whoopy Goldberg.
Claudia
I think she actually would do it.
Jackie
It's literally going to be Whoopy Goldberg.
Claudia
All right. That's Jackie's official, I guess.
Jackie
Do you have one?
Claudia
Okay. If we're going like r. Like Nancy Grace, you know. No, I was going to say something insensitive. Sorry.
Jackie
I don't think Nancy Grace would do it.
Claudia
Oh, I do, actually. I don't know. She's like a God loving woman. Maybe not. Let me think, let me think. Think. Who was just like, oh, maybe like the Olympics. Oh, like Eileen. What's the girl with the Aileen with the hair that everyone loves? Alyssa Lou. Yeah. Or Eileen. Yeah. One of the Olympian.
Jackie
Okay, you're saying Olympian of this cycle of.

It's formulated with collagen peptide complex plus jojoba grape seed oils and it is also seven nourishing moisturizers and three essential vitamins to keep skin hydrated all day. It's dermatologist tested suitable for all skin types and it will not clog your pores. So yes, it's safe for both face and body. I've actually been using it so much on my heels. My heels have been just like a problem area for me. Something new, know, fun, you know, that comes with age. My heels. It's also designed to work with whatever skin care you're already using. So it's just going to deliver an extra visible plumping and hydration exactly where you need it.

Jackie
Oh, she's forgetting I'm back. Fit and final story.
Claudia
What are you looking at me for?
Jackie
Look, shouldn't have been vivid and final, but it's just the way she thinks. Now today Zendaya's addressing the Tom Holland and marriage rumors shares a spoof wedding video to clear the confusion. So Zendaya went on Jimmy Kimmel and discussed these like rumors and AI photos that she got married. Plus, like Law Roach sort of like opened a can of worms when he said that she did get married and she's like joking about it and people seem to really care about that. More notably, she was not asked any questions about Euphoria Season 3, which is about to come out, which is making people like questions. Her involvement in the promotion of Euphoria season three, well that is weird.
Claudia
Although like she's on a press tour right now for a movie and like, maybe they want to just promote that movie. I'm not going to, like, look into that so nefariously. Although everything with euphoria is nefarious.
Jackie
Everything, everyone hates each other, everything is drama, everything is toxic.
Claudia
I don't really care whether or not Zendaya is married or not, because she's in like a long term partnership. If they're married, great. If not, they will be like, I don't care. What I want to talk about is this movie that she's in with Robert Pattinson, which just like, looks really good. I'm like obsessed with the pair of wearing they. He looked so hot at the Oscars. And then last night was the premiere and she wore. Okay, so she re. Wore a dress. She wore this white Versace gown that was gorgeous. And apparently she had worn it like in the 20. 2015 to the Oscars. And it's just so interesting to see the side by side, how she's like, really grown up. Like, she, like, just looks so more like feminine and womanly. But what's interesting, and I remember when I first saw the picture, somebody was like, oh, my God, you wore this dress to the 2015 Oscars. She's wearing her hair in dreads. And I'm like, oh. I was wonder if that was the time that Juliana Rancic said that. She said that she smelled like patchouli oil and like, literally got fired and ended one of the greatest shows in like, that literally is what ended fashion. Yes. And so then Law Roach tweeted, remember the last time she wore this dress? And like, they literally, like, were referencing that.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
I can't believe that Law and Zendaya, like, know about that and talk about
Jackie
it and like, are joking about it
Claudia
because it was literally like, at the time, it was. Was the craziest, like, biggest deal ever.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
And I have like, everyone's like, moved on. The show is over. But like, no, but I don't.
Jackie
They moved on in the sense that it was canceled. Like, it. It wasn't a. No small thing. It's very much like known as.
Claudia
But it's clearly like something they haven't forgotten. You know, Lawns and Linda.
Jackie
Yeah, of course not.
Claudia
She looked so beautiful in the dress. It's actually insane how, like, different the dress looked because she was just like a kid, you know.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Wearing this gown in 2015. And now she really looked like a beautiful, you know, woman.
Jackie
That's really funny.
Claudia
I kind of want to see this movie. It's called the drama. Everything is the drama. I know.
Jackie
Well, so, like, are they married? Are they. Not again. I'm with you.
Claudia
I.
Jackie
It makes no difference to me.
Claudia
They're like Goldie Hawn, you know, like, they're. They're married. Like, who? Like, seriously, who cares?
Jackie
Yeah, like, whether they had a wedding that you, like, you wouldn't saw invited you anyway.
Claudia
Correct. Correct.
Jackie
Not having anything to do with any of us.
Claudia
Let's dive into Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where we try to give back to the community, try to help out the girls in need. If you ever need advice from us, you can email us dear toasters gmail.com or simply head over to our website, the toastpodcast.com scroll down. There's a little Dear Toaster submission box. Totally anonymous both ways. And you have just as good of a chance getting on the show no matter how you submit. Okay. Hey, Swirlies. My husband, who's 30, has told me multiple times that people at work are asking him if he has something going on with his co worker who's about 50. Safety. I know they're friends, that they have lunch together sometimes. She did call him once when she got into a car crash, which I thought was weird. I genuinely don't think he's cheating on me, but do you think he's acting inappropriately at work? And that's what. What is making people think this? What should I do? Well, I agree that your husband's not cheating on you because he wouldn't have told you. Like, everyone thinks I'm dating. I think he was saying it's funny because, like, she's 50 and he's 30. But why are people thinking that? Like, I feel like there's something you're not sharing. And her calling your husband when she got into a car wreck, Like, I guess she's 50.
Jackie
Like, I mean, I don't work in,
Claudia
like, a traditional office setting. Like, you are my, like, one of my only co workers, so. So, like, maybe I can't relate, but, like, how are you two behaving?
Jackie
Like, I know everyone with their work wives, like, so toxic, so wrong. And I feel like now people are turning on the concept. Like, for a while I was like, this is my work life. And now everyone's like, that's not a thing and that's not normal, and that needs to stop. And that's not. Not appropriate. This doesn't sound appropriate. If the genders were reversed, it would certainly not be appropriate. And I don't know that anything nefarious is going on, but like you don't, you just don't need this. Like, no, your husband's not so innocent
Claudia
in all of this.
Jackie
Like he's obviously, he's the younger subordinate.
Claudia
He's the man. And he's 30.
Jackie
Like he's 30, she's 50. Imagine if it's a 50 year old man and a 30 year old woman.
Claudia
Imagine if your father married someone your
Jackie
age and then like your boss is like calling you on the side of the road and like, like that's weird.
Claudia
Unless she's like a frail old woman. But like obviously not because people really think that they're dating.
Jackie
Yeah. And like she seems to be like his emergency contact.
Claudia
Your husband needs what the kids are calling boundaries. You know, your work people should not be calling you in the middle of the night from the side of the road. And if you're in a place where like you've become someone's number one person to call when their car breaks down,
Jackie
like given too much of yourself in the workplace.
Claudia
Correct. It's just a job.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Tell your husband it's just a job.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Hey, swirlies. Oh no, sorry. I just read that one. Dear Jackson Turdy, I actually feel very conflicted about this one. My mother in law watches my daughter while I work from home upstairs. Sometimes my father in law comes over unannounced to either hang out or go on walks with them. I've asked my mother in law previously to just send me a quick text to let me know so that I'm aware of what's going on in the house. She has repeatedly not let me know as not let me know as this continues. Am I crazy to be annoyed by this? He's not my favorite person. So I don't exactly love the surprise visit visits. It doesn't happen too often, but it still annoys me.
Jackie
Why isn't he your favorite person?
Claudia
Yeah, I'm gonna need more context on that because before that it's like, well, if your mother in law father. I know there are people who are like very strict about letting adult males near their children. I see. I see it on tick tock a lot. Like I actually just fell into this thing.
Jackie
These family members.
Claudia
Not family members, but you know, actually I'd like to get your take on this. I watched this woman, she like did like a whole takedown of her local daycare because she went in and her kid goes there all the time and it's all good. But she noticed that they hired her child. Did she say it was still in diapers? And so she had two kids. The older one's been going there, maybe three years old. So he's been going there for a while. So she just had a baby. Her six month old is now going to the facility as well. So she was dropping both the kids off and she noticed that there was a new caretaker, a man. So she had asked, oh, who's this new person? And they were like, oh, this is Jimmy or whatever. She said, oh, great. I would just request that he doesn't change the diapers for my baby. I'm only comfortable, comfortable with a female. And they were like so offended. Called her, threatened to throw her kids out. And she was like, I'm just not comfortable with an adult male changing the diaper of her daughter. The baby was a daughter. But I think regardless she would have said it. And everyone in the comments was like, oh yeah, I don't let like adult males near my baby. I guess like everyone's very on high alert for pedophilia, which is a more prevalent in the male species. So there are people who are like, that's why a lot of people don't let their parents, parents don't let their kids have sleepovers because you don't know what adult male is in the house. I think Khloe Kardashian has said that many times she does not let her kids have any sleepovers.
Jackie
There's a lot of. It's not even just that, but yeah, it's a big one.
Claudia
So I don't know why, like. And so if she, if this girl writing in is one of those people, like, I respect her boundaries, but it sounds like she just doesn't like her father in law. She doesn't want him in her house.
Jackie
Like so regarding the tick tocker. Yeah.
Claudia
What do you make of that?
Jackie
I'm with her.
Claudia
Yeah, of course. Okay.
Jackie
1, 1000%.
Claudia
And the daycare was like being really shady. And I think she ended up, I don't know what she ended up doing. I never got like a follow up
Jackie
video leave regarding this. Well, first of all, there's a difference between like random adult males being near your babies and your father. Of course this person doesn't have like a track record of engaging in harmful behavior with children. It sounds like you just don't like him. You want to know when he's in your house. Sure. She should give you a heads up. You want to know what's happening in your house. I would feel the same way with people. If you're upstairs and he's down, they're downstairs. But she probably, like, isn't on her phone all the time. You don't want her to be on her phone all the time. They're just going for a walk and they're hanging out. I need to really know why he's not your favorite person. Is it. Is it like nefarious behavior, he seems like an inappropriate, unsafe individual, or like he's insulted, you know, he's not the kindest and whatever. But if they're just going on walks and she's doing you a favor, like, I don't think it's the biggest deal. But I don't have all the information to make this call.
Claudia
All I do have a solution for you because it sounds like you just want to know when he's in the house. You don't want him not coming anymore. Anything. A nana would solve your problem. Or any sort of like, baby monitor. You're upstairs. Put a camera, like in the corner of your living room so you can see the whole living room or wherever they hang out, the playroom. Problem solved.
Jackie
Well, they go on walks. But what's happening on walk? If you trust the mother in law, she's not gonna let anything happen under her watch.
Claudia
Yeah. And it's like, I. Well, I understand that your father in law is not your favorite person. It is such a privilege to have childcare. That's your family. Like, it's just like, I think, I think it's something people would dream of. So even though you don't like him, like, is he a good grandpa?
Jackie
No. And like, if, if your concerns are have to do with like safety or appropriateness, like, then you should be concerned about the mother too. Because if he's like a known correct
Claudia
predator and she didn't say that. But like, why else wouldn't you want this person?
Jackie
Because if it's just like, you know, he doesn't stay rude. Yeah. Oh, grumpy.
Claudia
It's like, still the kid's grandpa, like,
Jackie
it's fine, it's whatever. But if it is more insidious, then you need to be looking at her too.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
She's married.
Claudia
I don't think that's what it is. I just want to say I don't know why I brought that.
Jackie
The thing is, if it's not, then I'm like, what's your problem?
Claudia
Correct.
Jackie
Like, two people want to look after your kids.
Claudia
No. And it's nice. Like, two adults is better than one. And their family, like, to have like your village raise your child when you have to work is like such a dream.
Jackie
Yeah. And so she doesn't tell you every single time he comes over. But, like, it's family. So assuming, like, nothing is wrong here. There's no like, bad man. Like, it's family. They come through the door. You need a text message. Like, what?
Claudia
Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. And it's not like you have other child care and then like your in laws just randomly show up. Like, the in laws are the child care. It's nice.
Jackie
It is nice. Wrong. Unless he's a predator.
Claudia
Correct. Then call police now. I like how we've become just like a destination for people who think that their partners are gay. Like, that is just sort of my life's work. And so here is. I have a new final submission.
Jackie
Have a new take now. After slamu, it just informs, like. Yeah, continue.
Claudia
Hey, guys, a little backstory. My best friend was a late bloomer. She didn't have her first kiss until college. She never really dated. And then fast forward to our late 20s. She's met a guy through a dating app. She is so happy to finally be dating that she's not picking up on some things that I think are quite odd. Like mostly that he goes on a cruise nearly every month. Month. He either goes alone or with another guy friend while he's on this cruises. He does not communicate with her. And he says he goes on them because he likes to gamble. Is he gay? How do I get her to realize that this is not normal?
Jackie
Well, you should definitely let her know that it's not normal. Just be like, do you know what he's doing? Because I don't have, like, an issue so much. If he's gay. Is. Is he cheating on you?
Claudia
Well, if he's gay, I do have an issue. Because you're a girl.
Jackie
No, but like, like, he wants, like, just if you love him, like, and he loves you.
Claudia
No, you guys, don't listen to Jackie. Here's the thing. I think you guys are gonna be shocked by what I have to say. There's nothing inherently gay about cruises. Like, there is really? Yeah. There are of course, gay cruises. There are Disney cruises.
Jackie
Like, go on a cruise with your male friend. So here's the thing.
Claudia
I believe greatly that your friend's boyfriend is hiding something major. Is that major thing his sexuality? I actually don't think so. Let me tell you what. Why again, cruises?
Jackie
No, it's not about cruise. Say it was a vacation. It's not about.
Claudia
She's not even. Like, she would have also said. And he, you know, was on Grinder.
Jackie
Like, the cruise is with his male friends, the only. And he disappears.
Claudia
She says sometimes he goes alone and sometimes he brings a friend.
Jackie
Well, maybe he's cruising on the cruise.
Claudia
I don't know. I. I don't know. When I think of cruises, like, maybe he's a really.
Jackie
He needs to go on a cruise.
Claudia
Maybe it's a Weight Watchers cruise, like, once a month. Maybe it's a New Kids on the
Jackie
Block cruise, you know, once a month.
Claudia
Know how many themed cruises there are? Other than being gay?
Jackie
Nobody needs to go on a cruise once a month unless you're cruising.
Claudia
And cruises are kind of like Disney. Like, it's a cult, people.
Jackie
So you're saying he's.
Claudia
I'm saying people are obsessed with cruises the way they are obsessed with parks. Like Disney parks.
Jackie
Like, I'm sorry, once a month. Don't you have a job?
Claudia
Well, of course there are other, like, lifestyle things that I have questions here about. But if you're just asking me if he's gay as truly the gay whisperer. I don't think so. I don't think so.
Jackie
But you're saying it could be a lot of things.
Claudia
I think if this girl wrote in and was like. And he's really. You know, he talks really. Like, there are other ways to surmise about someone's sexuality more often than not, unless you're a true professional. Like, there are a lot of signs in how you walk and how you talk, in your interest. The TV shows that you watch, stereotyping. Oh, is that bad?
Jackie
I know you just always like to feel bad.
Claudia
What did I say? But there are other things. Like, she would have written and, you know.
Jackie
Yeah, I heard my wear skirts.
Claudia
Like, I don't know. No, actually, I feel like gay guys actually don't even wear skirts. Like, straight men are always.
Jackie
No, I understand. Like, your mind, like, went towards gay because you watch this show too much.
Claudia
And I'm sorry. And by the way, for that I will apologize.
Jackie
But what we're saying is there's so many other things that could be wrong here, and you need to look at those.
Claudia
Okay. Like.
Jackie
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, the gayness. If it's like, we almost held a toast cruise. No, but I. It's not about the cruise, Claudia. You're focusing too much on cruise. How about that? That.
Claudia
Okay, maybe he writes for the points guy.
Jackie
Well, does he?
Claudia
I don't know.
Jackie
Yeah. Like, unless he works in
Claudia
Here are the themed cruises coming up on Royal Caribbean.
Jackie
But why do I give a. You don't go to A cruise once a month. I don't care if it's Hannah Montana.
Claudia
Oh, you think the frequency is what makes it gay?
Jackie
Yes. More insidious. You can go on a cruise.
Claudia
Cruise your heart out. I don't think so. Maybe Wander. L. Maybe nobody understands him except for me.
Jackie
Hey, you go on 12 cruises a year. That's not normal.
Claudia
Where do they live? Maybe they live in, like, Fort Lauderdale, where there's, like, a pier where all the Crips.
Jackie
It doesn't.
Claudia
Cruise ships leave from.
Jackie
It doesn't matter. I know plenty of people live in Florida who don't go on cruise a month.
Claudia
Tell this man to call me. He's obviously looking for somebody who understands him. And your friend is not worthy of his love, and neither are you.
Jackie
Ask your friend. Like, what is he doing on these cruises? This is weird. Why does he have. I mean, maybe.
Claudia
Oh, yeah. Ask them about their sex life. There are a lot of sides. Like, people who are closeted are not
Jackie
getting, like, listen, I would start with just. Just, like, simple questions before you start making leaps. Like, what's this cruise? Who is he with? What does he do? Why can't he answer the.
Claudia
He goes on a lot of cruises.
Jackie
Yeah, like, just get some context clues first. She might have a perfectly good answer, and she might be fine. Just because she never kissed a boy till college doesn't mean she doesn't have a brain. Yeah, like, she's not that naive.
Claudia
Like, you did make her sound, like, uber desperate.
Jackie
Like someone who, like, can't handle herself in this world.
Claudia
Right. Just because she wasn't, like, a. In college. Like, I like how we're now turning on the person who wrote it because, like, she's just.
Jackie
I feel like she's telling us literally only the worst.
Claudia
Very specific. Yeah, yeah.
Jackie
She's making her friend look like a dumb. Dumb.
Claudia
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really funny.
Jackie
I'm crying, giving, like, my friend got a boyfriend. I'm jealous.
Claudia
Oh, that. I love that.
Jackie
Well, I just want to say, given the fact that you gave us no information and just, like, these breadcrumbs, that you thought we would just be like, oh, he's gay. Like, you tried to lead him leave us here, and now we've turned on you.
Claudia
That's what I'm saying. Like, when you make it so obvious. I don't know.
Jackie
I don't even think it's so obvious. Like, but definitely weird behavior. Let's get some more questions.
Claudia
Like, I think also, like, it's important to know. Like, while I think it's weird. And if anybody I knew went on a cruise once a month, I'd be like, are you okay? Like, some people just have different interests than me and, like, different ways to live their life.
Jackie
But nobody goes on a vacation once a month.
Claudia
Ryan Kelly does.
Jackie
That's his job.
Claudia
Ryan Kelly does.
Jackie
So unless that's his job, maybe he
Claudia
wants to be an influencer and he's doing, like, cruise reviews. Check his tickets. Tick tock.
Jackie
So tell us that maybe this friend
Claudia
hasn't cared enough to check his tick tock. I believe this man.
Jackie
I just know how to walk down the street. The dumb, dumb who never goes kissed in college.
Claudia
Yeah, right, right. Give your son.
Jackie
Your friend was never kissed, but she could handle herself in this world.
Claudia
And she would have known a queer man if he punched her in the face. Like, one thing about Josie, she was extremely discerning.
Jackie
Yeah. And so I just feel like you've stereotyped everyone here.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
Including us. Thinking that we would just think he's gay him for cruising.
Claudia
Maybe you need to look inward. Maybe it's you.
Jackie
You tried to pit us all again.
Claudia
It's true. And we found you out.
Jackie
How you like them apples?
Claudia

I had one more thought about the Taylor, Frankie, Paul thing that I think.
Claudia
Okay, the episode's not over.
Jackie
Germane information to this because I really want to do take her side. Because if what's happening to her is untrue, it's awful. Cruelest thing in the world. Why did all the girls stop filming with her? Yeah, that's all I'll leave you with. But there are also. They are sheep.
Claudia
So they are. There's so much group think in mom talk. I have to go to the bathroom so bad.
Jackie
We have to wrap cheap. Consider that they stopped filming with her. We'll leave you with that. Love you. Bye.
Claudia

Episode Overview:
This lively episode of The Toast is classic Jackie and Claudia: snappy banter, deep-dives into pop culture, candid confessions about daily life, and their ever-popular “Dear Toasters” advice segment. This week covers everything from family blanket wars to viral scandals in Mormon MomTok, with updates on co-sleeping, Broadway gripes, the latest White Lotus casting news, and excitement for the Hannah Montana anniversary special. The episode is a blend of personal revelations, culture commentary, and relatably hilarious hot takes.
Three main dilemmas get addressed:
Workplace Boundaries:
Grandparent Boundaries & Childcare:
Is My Friend’s Boyfriend Gay?
The episode is energetic, fast-paced, and irreverent – full of playful teasing, sidebars, and relatable humor. Jackie and Claudia speak candidly, sometimes self-deprecatingly, and veer from dead-serious (child abuse accusations) to totally absurd (imagining a Cinnabon/Auntie Anne’s “antibody” collab). The language and tone are conversational, occasionally provocative, but always rooted in the Oshrys’ now-iconic “big sister” chemistry.
