I sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast and happy. Okay. It's only Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a great day. I am, because I'm joined. Sorry. Or should I said bon nui? Millennials.

[B]

Bonjour. Bonjour.

[A]

I am joined in studio today by a barrette wearing, looking like. What's that book? Madeline. Yeah, Madeline. Little French girl. That's what you look like.

[B]

It's me.

[A]

Yeah. Hi, Joey.

[B]

Au revoir. Wait, what does it say?

[A]

Do you speak French?

[B]

I can get by. But no, I don't.

[A]

Like, when you were in Paris, were you able to speak a language at all?

[B]

The thing is, if you mumble and just kind of like grunt a little bit.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It just works out.

[A]

And if you have a cigarette in your hand, like you're good.

[B]

Yeah. And just keep mumbling. It's day 24 of Jackson Claude on vacation.

[A]

It is Jackson on vacation. And Joey is. What is this your third or fourth?

[B]

Third for Jack's maternity leave. So that's why I want to ask you, when do you. When do I start getting my benefits? Because I have a sickle in my throat.

[A]

Yeah, of course. You know, I'm also feeling like you got me sick, actually. I'm also feeling a little tickle. You know what I'm just noticing about you, something we've never spoken about on the shows.

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

How many tattoos you have?

[B]

Oh, I have several. I think I have like eight. Eight or nine.

[A]

You're such an interesting person.

[B]

Well, I'm like. I'm like. I'm like a leak. There's. There's very. There's layers, many layers. This is my first one. This is what it says my last name, and it's the heart of Jesus I love.

[A]

Are you a religious person?

[B]

No, I wasn't. But at the time it was like. It was the thing. It was. Yeah, it was in Brooklyn. It was in the early 2000s. It was like. Like a very. Like, that was full time.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then it's the same thing with the hunter. Remember, there's like the lodge vibes and everything had, like.

[A]

Ever had. Oh, you literally have like a deer.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What is that? No. Is that a deer? What is it?

[B]

Yeah. But then I realized it looks like the Jagermeister symbol.

[A]

Show it to me like this. I can't really see it. Oh, that's really beautiful. Oh, not a gun. You have a gun, too.

[B]

I have a big. I have a big pistol on my arm, too.

[A]

Are you a gun owner, Joey?

[B]

I'm part of the nra, believe it or not. No, I don't have a gun because, you know, if I already said this, and now it's, it's. It's dark for this early in the morning, but I would definitely off myself if I had a gun.

[A]

So I can't have it.

[B]

I can't have it in the house. I'll have one bad day looking chubby in the mirror and it'll be. It'll be over. I can't do. I mean, you know, I would love to be able to protect myself in a harmful situation.

[A]

Right, but you're not leading danger to yourself. Oh, that's terrible.

[B]

My inner saboteur once again.

[A]

Once again, your inner saboteur rearing her ugly head. I can't with you. You look amazing in a beret.

[B]

I just want to say, well, you know, I'm growing my hair out and I've had some feedback, some pushback from loved ones. I've always had a short, but, like a little, you know, little pixie cut, like a little buzz cut, fade thing. But then after the hair transplant, I was like, you know, what if I.

[A]

Got it, flaunt it 100%.

[B]

And I was never able to. Luscious luck. I mean, I don't want to, like, you know, grow out where people are having, you know, trans rumors about me, but I do want to have some, like, flow back. Like, you know, I want leading man hair. You know what I mean? Like Matthew McConaughey. Just like, you know, it's a little bit, like, pushback, rugged, a little wavy, tousled.

[A]

I just want to say, as a loved one, I am going to give you pushback. Like, I don't love that journey for you.

[B]

Okay? A lot of people don't.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

My boyfriend already told me. He's. I just sent him a picture. I was feeling myself feeling really cute, and he's like, you need a haircut. I was like, I'm growing it out. No. Remember growing your hair out for prom? It is such a core, like, niche thing for prom. Back extensions.

[A]

I had, like, really, really long hair my whole life. Yeah, like, to my butt crack. And my hair at prom. Insert photo here was so sick. Like, down to my ass crack. Beach waves. And then I had this little fishtail braid, like, hook in the back.

[B]

What color did you wear black?

[A]

Of course, cuz I like had a fat arm. Oh yeah. What color? What did you wear to prom?

[B]

I wore like a 7, 1970s like disco style outfit.

[A]

I had.

[B]

I had bleach blonde hair and I had this like suit, a tuxedo jacket, had a zipper. And then I had this collar, fly collar that was open, like big and white, like wide.

[A]

And most importantly, who did you go with?

[B]

Michelle Marola.

[A]

And were you out?

[B]

Oh, yes. I had a full set of acrylics. I had a full set of acrylics and lip gloss on.

[A]

And so you and Michelle went as friends?

[B]

When it's friends, yeah.

[A]

And what is Michelle up to now?

[B]

Oh, she's married. She has three kids. She comes over all the time.

[A]

Oh, that's actually so sweet. I love that journey from Michelle.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Michelle's amazing.

[A]

Amazing.

[B]

So yeah, that's that. But yeah, back to growing my hair out, I just want to be able to. Once it's there, I trust me, it'll. It'll be good. Yeah, but it's the growing out phase. That's why I have to wear this hat.

[A]

Could you mind removing the hat just so I can evaluate where we're at? I can't believe that. By the way, your hair looks amazing. Like you would never know that it's plugs.

[B]

I think I said it Die by Rita Hazon.

[A]

You had it Died by Rita Hazan.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Like, that was not English. I was able to translate for the listeners though. And I just want to say I stand by that. I think you should cut your hair. I'm with your boyfriend. I'm not into the long hair.

[B]

Like, it's not long hair. It's just. It's just like hair.

[A]

I'm not into it.

[B]

Do you want me to do an AI photo and send it to you later?

[A]

One of my favorite things to do is make AI photos. Like trying on new hairstyles.

[B]

Oh, I know. I do it all the time.

[A]

What app do you use?

[B]

I have Gemini.

[A]

Oh, wow. I'm a chat girl.

[B]

I have chatgpt too, but she's like. She's more for like making like, like men and like, and like invitations and things. Because her pictures. She always makes me a cartoon, so.

[A]

She always makes me a cartoon too. Do you pay for premium chat?

[B]

Yes, but not the big. Not the biggest one. The biggest one is like $127 a month.

[A]

You know, I do. What is it, like 19?

[B]

Yeah. That's just.

[A]

Just enough to get pictures. Yeah.

[B]

But then Gemini does the good pictures that's when you say, like, oh, really? There's, like, a homeless man in the living room. That's the one that you can get to like. And now people are using it for, like, gang bangs and stuff, right?

[A]

Of course. How are people using Gemini for gang bangs? Oh, to generate images.

[B]

I'm just saying there's, like, make, like, 50 guys in a line next to my bed.

[A]

And so by people doing that, do you mean you?

[B]

I haven't said it yet, but it's like girls trying to get a rise out of their boyfriend or their mom or their mom. Sending it to a sister, sending to the mom, like, you know, Carol's in the other room with a bang bang.

[A]

I love that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, you hosted Thanksgiving at your home. It looked beautiful. I saw you stuck to your word of a red table.

[B]

I did. I also noticed some similarities between family members. I was not only the brussels sprout salad that came out of nowhere. Did you notice that?

[A]

I did notice that. But I did notice that you and Jackie had similar tablescapes.

[B]

Similar tablescapes. And I never knew she had such a beautiful dining room. That curved wall, the round table. With the round table and the round. The curtains.

[A]

Stunning, so. And I did get a lot of comments that Jackie copied your table. And while she probably did, I do think it's important for everyone to know we got most of the tablescape items at Home Goods. We vlogged the experience, and Home Goods was pretty crappy. I'm not gonna lie. And so we just took what we could get. Which was red.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, it's on trend. It was the. Your table was pretty pantone color. Thank you very much. It was the pantone color of. I picked it up. I made it up. I don't know if it was, but everyone and even Hoda and Kathy and Hoda, whoever they were at the Thanksgiving Day parade had similar florals to me.

[A]

Did you watch the parade?

[B]

It was on in the background as I was preparing the home.

[A]

Yes, of course. It's like. It's just background fodder. It's background noise. Did you enjoy?

[B]

I didn't really see anything, but I know that there was. Everyone was spooked out by that. By that girl, Taylor Momson. She showed up as a goth. As a.

[A]

She was spooky.

[B]

Spooky. But she was. She was originally the.

[A]

She's a little girl in the grave.

[B]

Cindy Lulu.

[A]

Cindy Lou who? And she sings where are you, Chris? Now in her later years, I was.

[B]

Like, where are you, Micellar water. Trying to get that eyeliner cleaned up mama.

[A]

In later years. She, of course, is Jenny from Gossip Girl, but she also started and currently participates in some sort of, like, rock band. So in a, I think a form of taking her power back from, like, childhood trauma, she decided to release a version of Where Are youe Christmas? Like, Screamo. Oh, so that's what she was doing at the parade. Where are you, Chris?

[B]

I saw her at the VMAs and I was frightened.

[A]

You saw her in person?

[B]

Yeah, in person. She was next to me.

[A]

Yeah. A fun fact about you is that you go to the VMAs pretty every year due to your close proximity to MTV star.

[B]

Yeah, I do.

[A]

And what is that like?

[B]

And again, that was over. I over at that. I was. I was setting the tone for the table there as well. I were all red and burgundy.

[A]

Oh, so setting the tone.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I love that.

[B]

It was like Project Rose. My own version of Project Rose.

Mongolian cashmere sweaters from $50 when you'd normally pay 200 or more. It's the kind of sweater you'll wear on repeat, especially during these cozy seasons. Then there's a denim that really goes with everything. They've got silk tops, skirts for when you need to look put together, cashmere beanies, scarves, down jackets that will actually keep you warm. Italian wool coats, which I feel like is at the top of everybody's list. If you're looking for, like a really chic layering piece, they look designer. The ones from Quince, they feel luxurious. They're made with premium materials. But like everything at Quince, the price won't make you panic. They're way less. They're charging way less than other brands. They work directly with trusted factories. They maintain high standards practices for both craft craftsmanship and ethical practices. They cut out the middlemen and markups. They're able to pass those savings on to you. So find gifts that are so good, you'll want to keep them for yourself with quints. And I can't stress this enough. Quince is a great place to shop for everyone on your list. But most importantly, I gotta put me first. It's also great to shop for yourself at quinn's. Go to quinn's.com toast for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. They're also now available in Canada. And as the toast being like the number one podcast in Canada, they obviously wanted us to let you guys know that. So head to Quince Q U I n c e.com toast to get free shipping and 365 day [e-mail] toast that's quince.com t o a s T is it? The winners were announced. I feel like they announced the cast. Nobody actually watches the show. And then, like, I never find out who wins.

[B]

Right.

[A]

But I found out who won and I'm shocked because it was Ms. Gia Giudice along with Shawn Johnson, former Olympic athlete.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

So it begs the question, Joey, you're asked to do special Forces, which I do feel like could be in your future.

[B]

I mean, I'm doing any reality show. It's not going to be one of those. First, the first one off the gym, I want something like an ease into, like, you know, like a summer house where I can like, lounge and drink, drink spritzes and cast.

[A]

Joey Commander for Summer House 2026.

[B]

I run the Hamptons in the summer.

[A]

Wait, that's a great idea.

[B]

Thank you, Paige. I can take her spot 100%.

[A]

There is an opening in the bed. Now, I do feel like it's worth mentioning every time I talk about this story that I was asked to be on this particular season of Special Forces and I did say no. One, because I was pregnant and two, because, like, I couldn't. Do you know what's involved?

[B]

I said, I don't even need to know. I know that it's outside and there's like, there's running. It's like.

[A]

No, they, like, take them to obscure places. I don't know where this season, but they've done Australia. It's always like in the middle of the desert. And the premise of the show is to see if, like, these, you know, influencers, reality stars and celebrities can withstand what, you know, the special forces go through. So you go through special force training, like army crawling and jumping out of helicopters and, you know, living in a cave and you don't eat and. I cannot believe Gia Giudice won. Now. People forget Shawn Johnson. She's like this pretty young thing. She's a former Olympic athlete and a gold medal winning one.

[B]

She's been training this for her whole life.

[A]

100%. That's the way you should feel your whole life. And I cannot believe, like, I'm shocked at Gia Giudice.

[B]

I know. Well, she's, she's, she's been resilient for many years. She's been through.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So true personal life is, you know, ups and downs. So she. Emotionally.

[A]

Her whole life.

[B]

Yeah, emotionally she was ready for it, I think. I think. And then her, her mom was. Teresa was there before.

[A]

Now the funny thing is that you don't get eliminated. It's like, who can stay there the longest? People send themselves home. Britney Cartwright, relatable queen, went home the first day.

[B]

What do they win? Money.

[A]

Yeah. And also, like press and fame.

[B]

Yeah, I would have, I would have went home. I would have got my, like my, my some good one liners in, in the first episode and then left.

[A]

Yeah, of course. Like a couple of clips, a couple of viral sounds.

[B]

Yeah, no, I, the only one I would do like, that is not the full Survivor but the surviv. Little influencer thing. They did it last year and I went to some press event for it. It's like influencer Survivor where it's like.

[A]

A couple of days.

[B]

Yeah, it's like a couple days and you, like, do the Challenges. But, like, that's, like, low impact. Like, I can. I can sleep outside. That's fine. I can pass out anywhere.

[A]

Yeah, right.

[B]

That's fine. And then, like, the challenges are like making a puzzle. So it's like, I can do that in the wilderness and you get to fly first class to Fiji. So it's like.

[A]

So it's worth it.

[B]

Why not? Yeah, yeah.

[A]

There are a couple of shows that, like, podcasters, influencers are always kind of. Not always, but recently being tapped for. We talked about this yesterday with Remy Bader, Dancing with the Stars being one of them. Special Forces being one of them. There are a couple of shows. No, no, but she. We were saying, like, if you were asked to do it, would you do it? Like, it's really hard. I actually don't think that I would.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Would you?

[B]

I would do it. Yeah. I have nothing else going on. But you have babies and, you know.

[A]

Right. No, it's hard. Like, you have to pick up and move to la. I would. I, for one, like, I would never do Special Forces.

[B]

No, no, no, no.

[A]

And I didn't say no last time because I was pregnant. Like, I said no because I could fucking never.

[B]

And also, I would try to suck all their dicks. Like, the. The hot guys are screaming at you. I would get boned. Up, up.

[A]

Okay, So I actually think that's an. Also an amazing segue to our next story.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Which I know you wanted to talk about, and I need you to explain to me because I Only recently.

[B]

I'm still not.

[A]

Okay, so I recently started seeing everybody talking about this show. It's a new show on Max, and it's called Heated Rivalry.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And it's basically like a gay pornography.

[B]

Correct. Yes.

[A]

Everyone's obsessed with it. I saw it all over my. I started seeing it on my, like, social media yesterday. But it's also like a hockey.

[B]

Yeah. It's. Girls and gays are choking. Choking. They're gagging.

[A]

And I don't know if you know, but, like, hockey is, like, a huge thing for female romance.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Yeah. It's like, there's an obsession with hockey players. There's, like, especially in novels.

[B]

Well, that's why it's a book. This is based on a book.

[A]

Oh, it is?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, okay, so that makes sense. So tell me about the show.

[B]

Okay, so it's based on a book. There's apparently two books. And so everyone. Who knows what's going on. I don't want to. I didn't. I just knew. I just found out about it. Everyone's tagging me in it and saying, look at this, look at this. And then.

[A]

Well, because I saw, like, a clip, and he was like, you have to suck my dick. And he was like, you have to suck my dick.

[B]

Yeah. It's like you learned English quick. So it takes place in.

[A]

Wait, he doesn't speak English.

[B]

One of them pretends to be Russian. He is Russian. He's not really Russian.

[A]

Oh, so there's a political element, too. Like America versus Russia.

[B]

No, it's not even. It's Canada versus Russia.

[A]

Oh. Even more political.

[B]

So there's a. There's a. A Canadian boy, and he's one, and there's a Russian guy. And they're on two separate. Two opposing teams. And they're like, the two biggest rookies in the hockey scene. They're like. And one to watch this. Press everywhere. They're getting sponsorships, and there are, like, you know, they're neck and neck for the title of. Of whatever. And I don't know, by episode, like, two, they're in a shower together, you know, and he's. And. And the one's jerking off in front of the other one. And it turns into being so sex. This detention. They're like, I'm not. You know, I don't. It takes a lot to get me going.

[A]

Does it? You know, you've been around the block.

[B]

Yeah. I need. I need scented candles. I need a cocktail of pills, a warm oil. Yeah. And vascular uppers and things, you know, I need it all. This is, like. It's just. It's just very. It reminds me of being a schoolgirl again. Like, remember I had my first crush? It's like, I never really been moved. And I don't like gay. Like, I don't like gay films and stuff. I feel like they're like. They're performative and fake and whatever, but I got. I think girls and gays are getting this feeling of, like, having that crush and that intimidation of, like, oh, my God. And, like, in a Flirting and, like, thousand percent. It is, like, it really brings you right. Right into the scene, no matter who you are.

[A]

I'm trying to think of, like, the straight equivalent, like a TV show that I feel like normal people.

[B]

Well, they have to be secret, so they have to be, like, secret lovers. Like, no one can know about them because it can ruin their careers.

[A]

Oh, so they're not out.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. They're both, like. They're both, like, not out at all. And it has to be very secretive because of the. You Know, because they're both pretending to be straight and then also they're gonna lose their sponsorship. So they're always sneaking around, like going to the hotels and stuff.

[A]

And like, of course, more tittling.

[B]

Experiencing like, you know, their sex for the first time and the flirtatiousness. But it's like also the emotional element comes in where, like, I think the bottom, the, the biracial one, he's half Asian and halfway.

[A]

And is he Canadian or Russian?

[B]

He's Canadian.

[A]

Okay, so he's the bottom.

[B]

Yeah, he's the bottom. The bottom.

[A]

The Russian would be the top.

[B]

Like, and he's starting to catch feeling. The bottom starts catch. Starting catch feelings. He's like. So the last episode, there's only two episodes out. This is another thing. They're. They. You.

[A]

Oh, that's so annoying.

[B]

Yeah, so I have to wait.

[A]

I can't believe they're making this much like waves with only two episodes out.

[B]

Well, I think everyone knows is what's to come. Apparently there's a tuna melt scene. I don't know what this is about. It's all everyone on Reddit's talking about. It's like, I'll wait for the tuna melt scene. We can't wait to see how it's portrayed. I guess in the books. It's like some like really hot scene. But this guy's ass, this guy bottom. Can I show it to you, please?

[A]

Do you have a picture of it on your phone?

[B]

You have to Google it. No, I have it. Okay. This is my reaction after I saw it. This guy's ass, the top.

[A]

Oh, wow. That's like a bubble butt. And where did you find this photo?

[B]

I just, I just.

[A]

Mailgeneral.com.

[B]

No, I just googled it. Whatever the.

[A]

This is an insane ass.

[B]

What is his name? The actor?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

It's on your paper.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.

[B]

It's Connor.

[A]

So first of all, the book was written by a woman.

[B]

Yeah. It's written by a straight woman.

[A]

Straight.

[B]

I'm assuming she's straight.

[A]

Rachel Reed. That's weird.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Don't you think?

[B]

So, Rachel Reed.

[A]

Do you feel like she's accurately portraying queer love in this?

[B]

I do.

[A]

Okay, so it's Ilya Rosanov. That's Connor.

[B]

No, that's. That's. It's opposite. That's his.

[A]

Shane Hollander, who plays Hudson.

[B]

Cheyenne Hollander plays Hudson. No, no, no, no.

[A]

Or Hudson plays Shane Hollander. What are the kids.

[B]

Ilias is his drag name. Is this is. Is this.

[A]

Okay, so is this the Russian that you're showing me the picture.

[B]

Elias the Russian. That's his character.

[A]

This is Connor stories. Tushy.

[B]

Yeah, Connor stories. Connor stories.

[A]

Like, it's really bad.

[B]

It is the most plump, juicy thing and you. You get to see it. And they both have big fat chushies and it is just like so, like, hot and their bodies are just like insane. Like, I'm not even attracted to, like ripped, like muscly bodies like that. But it's just like I'm a romance novel queen now.

[A]

Now let me ask you a question.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Do you watch this show with your man or. It's a solo thing.

[B]

He hasn't seen it yet. He's been. He's been busy. Yeah, he's been home for the holiday, but I haven't. I don't think he'd want to watch this. I don't think he's into it. I don't think he's really into like this gay kind of gay stuff. But I think he should watch it. I think it's very eye opening.

[A]

What is the show? I have seen what's like the classic.

[B]

Soap opera Queer as Folk.

[A]

Yes, yes. And I feel like this is this generation's Queer as Folk kind of.

[B]

Yeah. But that's like really about, like, gay people and being out and like, you know, and being accepted. This is like behind the scenes.

[A]

Right, right, right. It's like kind of putting gay people back.

[B]

I don't even know what happens with those. Maybe they get outed. Like, I guess everyone else knows. But I'm saving it for.

[A]

That's actually a better experience.

[B]

I'm saving myself for the tuna melt scene.

[A]

What gay piece of media was like your sexual awakening?

[B]

I'm trying. It wasn't Ellen, for sure.

[A]

I'm not surprised to hear that.

[B]

And it wasn't Sandra Bernhardt making out on Roseanne.

[A]

Okay. Why are you pointing to women? You are a gay man.

[B]

I don't know. I don't really think I had a gay way. My awakening was like, you know, saying cute boys had a crushes on.

[A]

Right. Like, very standard stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Jonathan Taylor Thomas classic at the time.

[A]

Yeah. You're so Taylor Strucker with that.

[B]

Yeah. But I think the gay week. Where did I see on. I would think maybe Doogie Howser knowing he was gay in real life.

[A]

Oh, that was big for you, for the community.

[B]

For me just in general. That there was like other actors that were really. Even if he wasn't playing a gay character. No, I think like early on, Juki Howser, like, We found out that he was. He was right homo. And I think that something like that, like seeing it, seeing representation in the media. The other option was, you know, Pedro Zamora with aids and he died. So it's like, you know, that wasn't a great representation right at the time.

[A]

Now, I feel like I've asked you this and I apologize if it's repetitive to people who have listened to, like an episode of yours, but you're coming out Journey.

[B]

Yeah, walk me through it. It never had to come out.

[A]

It was just obvious.

[B]

It was obvious. It was like a girl. If you have eyes. Yeah, I was gonna. I was doing roller sets in my bedroom at like 12. So it was like, the jig is up.

[A]

So did you have, like an official combo with your parents?

[B]

No. Okay. I just started bringing boys home. Oh, great.

[A]

Love that. So easy.

[B]

I think my mom like, joey, are you queer? I'd be like, shut up, queer.

[A]

I'm cracking up now. Next up is a little. Little girly news. Millie Bobby Brown. She's changed her name. She got married a year ago and yes, now she is. Is Millie Bonnie Brown. Giovi.

[B]

How do you sell you? She changed from Bobby to Bonnie, so Millie.

[A]

Yeah. Wait, because she's Millie Bobby Brown.

[B]

That's her first name. A Bobby Brown's her last name is.

[A]

It has Millie Bobby Brown. Is her name like her OG name, her stage name.

[B]

But is Bobby Brown her hyphenated two last names or is Bobby her middle name?

[A]

Middle name? I'm not sure because now she's going by Millie Bonnie Brown Bon Jovi, mbbb.

[B]

Pick a struggle. I can't.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, she's not married to our friend that has the wine, is she?

[A]

No, his brother Jesse.

[B]

Our friend Jesse.

[A]

And I do understand, like, if you're marrying somebody whose last name is, you know, Bongiovi, of course you're gonna take it. That's like, if I married a Rockefeller, you are gonna catch me. Claudia Rockefeller. Like, it is what it is. It's an interesting choice to wait one whole year after you get married. But, you know, they do have baby together now. And sometimes, like, you feel she's a baby. Yeah, they adopted a baby baby.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, they adopted a baby.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I remember seeing her pregnant.

[A]

Yeah, right. Good for them. I feel like now when you, like, become more of, like, a family, that's when you change your name.

[B]

She's been getting a lot of scrutiny. She's been. She had a hard run.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, I guess everyone just. It's hard to Go from, you know, shaved head girl.

[A]

Yeah. Right.

[B]

Eating Eggos. Sorry. And, yeah, she's getting that. You know, she grew her hair blonde and she. She's trying. Everyone tries saying she can't be sexual. And, like. Well, I get it. We've grown. We've grown up in the media. I don't know about her. Yeah. She's. And I feel bad for her.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She's got. She's got a hard run now. She had to go. Now she's playing again in the new season.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Her new show.

[A]

Now you're, let's say, hypothetical scenario. You get married.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You keeping your last name. You changing your last name. What are your thoughts on the movement?

[B]

I think the thing is, if I was a young girl, I would definitely hyphenate it. I would get it tattooed on my forehead now. It's just, like, silly for me, like, to change my name because you're like, guess.

[A]

Public figure.

[B]

Yeah. I have one foot in the grave, mama. Yeah. And also. And also out of my brand. I don't want to ruin my brand.

[A]

But I think of it from the brand perspective. Like, it's hard enough to get people to know, like, your real name, and then you have to confuse them. You have to be really, really famous.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like when Kim did Kim Kardashian West. I do feel like I don't know.

[B]

Why she did that.

[A]

I don't either. But I do feel like it's stuck.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, you have to be famous enough with Kim Kardashian.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

To then change the name.

[B]

Can I. I have. I'm having a spasm in my head. I have to get it out, please. Wicked Witch.

[A]

Madam Marble. Turn it around. Wicked Witch.

[B]

And I hate Meghan Markle, so I'm like, meghan Markle, turn it around. Fucking bitch.

[A]

That is, by the way, I'm so glad you brought that up.

[B]

Meghan Marbles.

[A]

Madame Marble. Flip it around. Wicked Witch. I'm so glad you brought that up. What's her name? Michelle Yeoh is having a Lady Gaga moment where she had, like, made this joke in interviews for Wicked, like, a couple of times.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And now somebody stitched together, like, she had this funny little joke. Joke when Lady Gaga said, you know, there could be 100 people in a room and 99 of them don't believe in you. All it takes is one. And that was Bradley Cooper, and she said it 100 times in 100 different interviews. And they stitched it together, and it became her thing. Now Michelle Yeoh is having that with Madame Marble. Flip it around. What do you get?

[B]

She's so obsessed. There's a comedian on Tick Tock that did like a thing of how it came about. Like, she's. I forget her name. She's blonde. She was so funny. She. But she, like, her skit was like saying to her, like a fan. She was a fan. Meeting her, it's like, oh, just. I noticed one day it's like this. And she goes, goes, who else have you told this? Michelle? Yo Says. And she goes, no. And then. So she kills her. Right. Steals her idea.

[A]

So funny. Meghan Markle, Flip it around. Seriously funny stuff. Anything new with Megan you want to discuss?

[B]

No, I'm just annoyed that she has that fucking show and I don't.

[A]

I know. It's like, I watch. This is like the third season now. They're doing like a holiday spectacular.

[B]

No. And I don't like all the celebrities. I. I like. I felt like Mindy K. Lyn, what are you doing in there? Get out of the lines then.

[A]

And that was really awkward because I love Mindy Kalin.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

She's my girl.

[B]

Yeah, I like that.

[A]

Do you ever watch the Mindy Project?

[B]

Oh, of course. I loved it.

[A]

It's literally the best show.

[B]

She was my all time favorite character on, on TV ever made.

[A]

So real.

[B]

There was nothing like that at the time.

[A]

Nothing. And there still isn't. And fun fact, you know, Good guys host Josh Peck is on. He has a little storyline in Mindy Projects.

[B]

I was just. I was just chatting with him and your husband the other day.

[A]

Oh, yes, you were on their podcast, you know when that's coming out?

[B]

I don't know. I hope they don't. I hope it didn't end up on the cutting room floor.

[A]

No, it don't. But you know the funny thing about the good guys, they pre record, like they're talking about the Oscars two weeks after the Oscars have air, you know.

[B]

Like, that's just the good guys, those.

[A]

Old men, and that's what makes them special.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So Millie Bobby Brown changing her name. And I just want to say I fully understand.

[B]

Yeah. Get it, girl.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, that's going to be a hell of a lot of embroideries on towels, though.

[A]

Yeah. Millie Bonnie Brown Bon Jovi.

[B]

Yeah. I would put a big B. Yeah.

[A]

Just sort of sums it up. Jackie and I are pretty conflicted when we talk about, like, name changing. Jackie and I, legally, both of us, like, didn't change our names.

[B]

Yeah. My friends, my friends don't do that same thing.

[A]

And it's not like we were taking a stand or anything. I think it was just pure laziness. And now if you were to ask me, like, sorry, no, I'm not doing it.

[B]

Your babies. Do you want to have the same as your babies?

[A]

I know. That's what's getting picked up.

[B]

Like, who is this woman?

[A]

Yeah. Like, stranger danger. Call the police. It's a good question. And at this moment, like, I just don't care, you know?

[B]

But again, I know. I think people think we're joking, but really, for your career, you do need to keep it.

[A]

Of course. And sometimes girls write in for, like, Dear Toasters, talking about, like, giving up their names and how they struggle with it. And I don't think it should be, like, just the girls change their name. Like, I'm over that. And I'm not, like, being, like, a radical, like, Harry Armpit feminist. I just mean more like, whose last name is better.

[B]

Better. Yeah.

[A]

Who. You know, whose family has a better, more interesting legacy.

[B]

True that.

[A]

Sorry. Okay, next up, everybody wants to kill me because, like, I've been talking so much about weight loss. Like, Remy was on yesterday. We did.

[B]

Oh, bring it.

[A]

I'm sorry. Like, it's just who I binge ate.

[B]

Yes. This weekend.

[A]

So I almost didn't choose this story. But I do want to talk about Amy Schumer. She's. Who's in this, like, kind of turn. Instagram, talking about, you know, her weight loss. There's so much.

[B]

Did she lose weight?

[A]

Oh, my God. She's.

[B]

Let me see.

[A]

One pound. Let me show you.

[B]

You're gonna die from this photo, girl.

[A]

She posted on her Instagram. Two seconds. Hold on.

[B]

Well, she struggled with things, so she had a bad pregnancy.

[A]

She had a bad pregnancy. She had a, like, kind of crazy condition where her face blew up and, like, it could have been really.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Look. Okay. So skinny.

[B]

That's real.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, yeah, that's her Instagram. That's AI.

[A]

No, it's not.

[B]

Wow. Yeah, that's like, when Adele came out, right. Did her thing.

[A]

So then she posted this video, and it's raising a lot of, like, flags. She's actually said it's just, like. It's like, a video and has so much text over it. Like, this is what it looks like, and it's, like, moving in the background. I never wear jewelry. I don't get Botox or filler. I didn't lose 30 pounds. I lost 50. Not to look hot, which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive. I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy. That can kill you.

[B]

A shockumentary.

[A]

A shockumentary. Okay. So Sean Diddy Combs. This clip went viral from the trailer. He was seen having a very heated conversation with his lawyer. It's a first look at the forthcoming Netflix documentary about his legal struggles. So Netflix dropped the 56 second trailer for Sean Combs colon the Reckoning on Monday, including a clip of him in a hotel room six days before his arrest. He said, we have to find somebody that, that will work with us that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business. The Grammy winner said said he's on the phone with his attorney. Combs, who was wearing a black athleisure set. He had he. No, just a regular, regular head. He appeared anxious as he repeatedly bounced his knee up and down. We're losing. He angrily said. The following week, he was detained and charged with transportation to engage in prostitution, racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. So I was shocked to see that there's footage from this time. So he. He's consented to film, to letting and.

[B]

He also consented to releasing this.

[A]

Right. So I'm curious, like, what angle the documentary? Because 50 Cent is in it. Did you see that? No, he's producing it. Oh, I'm confused about where the Combs documentary.

[B]

I think it's like, trying to prove his innocence. Like, like receipts type. So he's innocent. I'm saying he's innocent, but like, I'm saying, like, he's probably trying to like, make clear his name in some way and like an angle it in a way where supposed to people have feelings for him again. So when he does get out, he could have some sort of life. So I'm assuming. I have no idea what's going on.

[A]

$0.50 Diddy documentary and that's, you know, 50 Cent, like, has committed his life to destroying Sean Combs.

[B]

Oh, he is. Oh, that's what I say. Because P. Diddy Strong doesn't get involved. I'm sorry. 50 cents does not get involved in shade and like, off shit. He's like a real, real person.

[A]

So it is executive produced by his longtime rival, Curtis Jackson, also known as 57.

[B]

So this is. Is a. This is a, a hit piece. It's a takedown, what is called a scam.

[A]

And then I saw that they cut to 50 Cent like, talking about the documentary. And he is the biggest smile on his face. Like, he cannot stop smiling. Like, I think he's so excited, and I actually Think we need a Diddy documentary. I feel like they make a documentary for everything and sometimes but there's so much. And I feel like I actually got lost in the sauce.

[B]

Like there's already a heist. A Louvre heist documentary. Yeah. Time. By time, they have like, they have like eyewitnesses that were in the room at the time.

[A]

That's a good one. I would watch it, chat.

[B]

Well, I have to, but for my country.

[A]

Right, right. For your country. For king and country. Now, did you serve in the French army?

[B]

I. I know I served in the Lambre district. It was a trench coat though.

[A]

Oh, got it. Have you ever been to Amsterdam's red light district?

[B]

No. My boyfriend was just there though.

[A]

Have you been to Thailand's like lady boy?

[B]

No, not yet.

[A]

No. I feel like maybe you should take a trip.

[B]

But I don't want to go there. That looks very desolate. I have to ride around on a motorcycle and then compete with all the other lady boys.

[A]

It's like, right.

[B]

It's my thing.

[A]

I feel like your hat would fall off on a Vespa. Terrible.

[B]

But I would go to Amsterdam. That looks lovely.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

[B]

But everyone goes to Amsterdam. Like, you know, back then it was like everyone went there because mushrooms and wheat. And wheat were illegal. Now you can have that here, right? So like, unless there's. Unless there's a more dangerous drug I can have that I can't get here, then I'm not really going.

[A]

Amsterdam sort of lost its allure.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, are you ready for tear Toasters Joe? We are weekly advice segment where we try to help out the girlies in need.

[B]

[A]

Girlies, help. My 32 year old brother is single, gay and has thinning slash balding hair. He's clearly self conscious about it because he's now growing his hair out longer and respectful.

[B]

This is for my boyfriend. This is for my boyfriend.

[A]

I'm fucking crying. Okay. He's clearly self conscious about it because he's growing his hair out. And respectfully, it looks terrible. Sorry. How can. I'm not laughing at you and the boy. I just want to say I'm laughing at Joey. How can I help him help himself without being an overbearing, like, bitchy sister? He just moved to Minneapolis. He gets his hair cut at cost cutters, which I assume is like super, super cuts. This man needs an intervention. It's the holiday. So I feel like I could gift him something that would help. Any ideas?

[B]

I would. Nothing gays love nothing more than a makeover.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like a makeover montage.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I would be like, let's. I would suggest a makeover. Look at guys. Like, I think at this point, shaving his head might be the best thing. Like buzzing his head.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Take pictures of, like, Jason Statham and like, you know, hot bald guys. Like, oh, my God, look at this look. And just. But don't you mention. Talk about the clothes first and then he just happens to be bald. Shaved head.

[A]

What is like the consensus in the gay community about bald? Like, is bald in, is bald out.

[B]

I mean, I think if it's. Yeah.

[A]

Depends on the person.

[B]

Balding never looks good on anyone being totally bald.

[A]

Like shaving.

[B]

Yeah, that looks. That's. That's the most option you'd want. There's no other kind of option for people. And I think it looks the best. And most times they look better with their head shaved.

[A]

They definitely look better with their head shaved than the. With the Larry David ring.

[B]

Yeah, you can't have that. And you get a whole new Persona with it. Like you have, you know, a bad. Like you're the villain all of a sudden.

[A]

So how do you.

[B]

I would suggest. I would show him. Maybe I would. I would go to. To the. To the Gemini. On Google Gemini, some AI renderings of different styles. Or suggest Dr. Tutella for a hair.

[A]

Transplant from New Jersey. Right. Well, I would love to know your financial situation. Are you in the business of being able to gift a hair transplant? Because that obviously seems like the clearly. Like the obvious. No, the girl writing in.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Maybe I want to maybe get him something for the holidays. That will help. But like hair transplants. Like, what's your. What's your financial situation?

[B]

Or you can get him, like a good lace front from TikTok.

[A]

A trip to Turkey.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, do you feel like it would be easier for her to help this brother if he was straight or if he was gay. Like, I feel like straight men.

[B]

Straight would be easier.

[A]

Yeah, they'll just do whatever you say.

[B]

Yeah, because gay's gonna get pushback, right? No one needs that.

[A]

From the Cuban.

[B]

From a disgruntled queen. Yeah, she's already. She's already ticked off.

[A]

Okay, ready? Dear Jackson. Claude. Well, Joey and Claude, I recently hosted my father's birthday and my younger sister offered to make a very beautiful ice cream sundae spread. Instead of a typical birthday cake, she brought ice cream and various toppings from her absolute favorite hometown ice cream shop. And it was really wonderful. But when the party was over, she pulled out a cooler and in typical little sister behavior, she packed her ice packs and took all the leftover ice cream. I will say it was a little expensive for ice cream, but I'm worried that she does this at, like, other parties with other friends. How do I handle telling her she should have just left the leftovers without hurting her feelings? I do love how much she helps out when it's needed. Needed. But I'm a concerned big sister.

[B]

Well, big sister being the operative. Because she wants to eat all the ice cream.

[A]

Of course. Big fabbing sister.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, the thing is, like, does your sister have a. Let's pretend like your sister has a pattern of bringing a cooler to different affairs. You're at a tuna party wagon, right? One of those.

[B]

It's a Taylor.

[A]

Taylor's trucker has it. What's that thing called?

[B]

The husky with an H?

[A]

The wheelie hunter.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Is she bringing a Hulking back to all, like, dinner parties then? The thing is, you do have to have an intervention kitchen. But if she did something nice and just wanted to take the ice cream home with her, like, you're being a.

[B]

Little bit of a. Yeah, I think. I think the option. I don't. I think the same thing. As we go to a house party, you bring wine or liquors and you take it back with you.

[A]

Do people do that?

[B]

Not at my house.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

Clipped.

[A]

Let me ask you a question. What is your take on, like, leftovers? Because I.

[B]

Get it out.

[A]

Yes. Okay.

[B]

Get it out. I don't want anything in the house ever. I throw things out. I. I call my cleaning lady once a week to come on our off day. Just to, like. Like to. To take out of the house. I totally. I don't want it.

[A]

Jackie and Ben call me the sweeper because I'm always, like, sweeping up. I'm throwing away family heirlooms. Like, I'm throwing away everything.

[B]

Get it out.

[A]

I hate I, I didn't know that about you. That you have sweeper energy as well. And I'm the same. I hate leftovers. I have never once taken something home.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And eaten it the next day. Like I know it's a waste of money, of food and there are people dying who I know I'll do it.

[B]

If I know I'm gonna be wasted and want to pig out. Like I, I like, I pre know that I'm gonna be a fat pig and like want to like eat it and I'll do that. But like yeah, leftovers first of all, like at the house. I'm never going to eat it again. And then I don't have room in the fridge. I want everything out of the house. So I, I give away everything. I have Costco, siiz things of like to go containers in my closet. You think it's. You would think I work in like a restaurant just to get everything, get it out.

[A]

So when you cook cuz you're like a big chef.

[B]

I cook overly. I make so much food.

[A]

You do. And then what do you do with it?

[B]

I end up giving it away or like throwing it out.

[A]

Oh, I know I'm the same way but like I just hate in my house. House.

[B]

Is that Tower Load?

[A]

Yes. So my lip liner, if anyone wants to know, this is tower 28 shade. Feel like I've, I've penciled off the shade, you know, 01C4 and I'm pairing it with this road lip peptide.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[A]

Have you tried these?

[B]

I haven't tried that one but I know they have the phone case with it. I'm wearing homeoplasm. It's. You can only get it in Paris. It's a, it's a nipple cream that they use for, for nursing mothers.

[A]

Yeah, I'm familiar. It's called Lanso. It's a brand. Yeah, I used it. It's a French brand actually called lan know. Oh and also lanolin. They both make nipple cream. And when I was like needing nipple cream, put it right on my lips. It's better than like aquafor plums.

[B]

Tower. I was telling you earlier I. There's a porn, a gay porn site called Tower Load. And I was looking for the spray because my friend wanted, I wanted to get that red, that red spray. So I went, There's a tower, Tower 28 makes a spray.

[A]

Oh, setting spray. I thought you meant a red spray from the porn site.

[B]

So then I called. So I went to CV or to Sephora and I was like, do you guys have Tower load.

[A]

Oh my God.

[B]

And she's like, tower load. I.

[A]

She goes, did she Google it?

[B]

No. Then, no, she didn't Google the thing I should say. Oh, you mean Tower 28? I said, oh, that's what it is.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Maybe the tower 28.

[A]

What's your porn website of choice?

[B]

Hamster. Ex Hamster.

[A]

Is that for animals?

[B]

No. I don't know why it's called that. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Okay. Sorry, I was confused.

[B]

I don't know why it's called that, but I think that's the. The one I used to use. Yeah.

[A]

Would you ever be a porn star, Joey?

[B]

If I. If I was endowed and had body, yeah. I'd be disgusting.

[A]

Right, right, right.

[B]

Yeah. God knew not to give me a big dick. I actually ran through.

[A]

I actually like shuddered to think, like, what? Like, if I was like always my life, like very naturally thin and small, like, I would end up.

[B]

But I think I don't. The thing is, if I. That's a hard question. If I always had that, I probably wouldn't be a pig. But since. Since we've been fucked with our whole lives, like, you know, our bodies, it's like if I finally got that, then I would be disgusting my whole life.

[A]

Right, right.

[B]

I'm not going to give it up now.

[A]

Right, right, right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All right, next up. Hello, Jackson. Claude, I need your advice on how to respond to declining my father in law's friend requests on not one, but two social media platforms. In the past, I know my father in law has been using his late wife's phone watching my stories on her Facebook and Instagram page. And with the holidays coming up, I know I'm going to be asked about it. And I get a pit every time I think about addressing it. I have zero problem with confrontation, but out of respect to my husband, I'd like to try to maintain a level of cool. My husband does not have social media and I know that my father in law uses it to see photos of our kids. I just don't find it necessary to be friends with him on social media. Thanks. A swirly in need of some help with the words.

[B]

I originally, when I first heard it, it sounded like there was a creepy undertone to it. Then I heard about. About like, he's just an old widowed man, he wants to see his grandkids. Like that thing. I was like. I was like, oh, I feel bad now.

[A]

Yeah. So every now and then we do have to set a deer toaster straight because we usually try to take the side of the Girl, like, if you're writing into deer toasters, you're always right. Yeah, every now and then we get hit with something like this. Like your poor widowed father in law just like grip using his dead wife's phone so we can see pictures of your grandkids, girl. Except the friend request. Like, seriously, how easy.

[B]

And unless you're posting like pictures like you and your bikinis and your girls, you and your girl girlfriend's girls trips, I think we're just posing pictures of the kids and his son and stuff. I think it's, you know, it's. It's. It's sweet and he wants to just see that.

[A]

I completely agree. Can I turn your beret?

[B]

Yeah, I'd be honored.

[A]

You never ask. You don't have license?

[B]

No, I don't have it yet.

[A]

Which side, right or left?

[B]

I think it's your woman's own choice. I think that side looks better on you.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Whatever side you're part. Is that your. Where you part your hair? Do you go that way?

[A]

Okay. I don't look French. I look like I'm delivering newspapers.

[B]

My whole tits are out. No one even said anything.

[A]

Okay, wait. I'm like really struggling. Okay. Okay. How's that?

[B]

I love this set. It's very chic.

[A]

Is it?

[B]

No. You look like you should be going to the Christmas spooktacular. The tree lighting. Can you get me right into the tree lighting? Do any toasters work at the tree lighting?

[A]

Can I say I've literally never looked more gorgeous.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Now in. I'm looking at the monitor.

[B]

I come in every color. Next time I go to Paris, I'll get you one.

[A]

Oh, is this straight from Paris?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Are you kidding?

[B]

I don't have an imposter.

[A]

Okay. Like, I just like can't really keep it on. It's like hard.

[B]

I have. I have a Harry Josh pen you can use now.

[A]

Okay. Like in the camera, it looks really stupid, but I just want to say in the pictures that I'm taking, it looks amazing.

[B]

And look at these cur. I have these curtains.

[A]

You'll have to talk to Chris. That's really gorgeous. And what material is that made of?

[B]

It's cashmere.

[A]

Really? Where'd you buy it?

[B]

No, my boyfriend got it for me. He was. I got to. When I landed, he had this as a surprise for me.

[A]

Can we talk about your boyfriend?

[B]

Yes, we have the honor.

[A]

He's been coming up on my tik tok, so I've been like, how did you guys meet?

[B]

We met. It was after we had. I was at a work party for barstool, and we had this. We had this, like, Christmas, was it Chris. Oh, summertime. It was the end of, like, summer party for. We had at Mr. Purple on the Rooftop. So this is when I'm aging myself. And then after we went to some bars, we was bar hopping on the Bowery, and I just. I walk and. Oh, we had. We went to the bar, far out, sort of like the back room for whatever. And I walk in, and now I'm tipsy and I'm feeling myself. And I just saw. He was the first person I saw when I walked in there. And I was like, you know, I. I have no shame. So. Right. I said to him, I. I made a pass at him walking in.

[A]

What'd you say?

[B]

I said, yo, you got a fat ass.

[A]

So romantic. Like, it's insane.

[B]

And then we started, you know, then we started flirting throughout the night and stuff. And then. Yeah, then we just kind of met and started hanging out.

[A]

That's really beautiful.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And another question for you. And the toasters were really mad at me for the last couple of times not asking you this. Oh, my God. Well, it's the tea that you don't. Pat. Don't follow each other on Instagram anymore.

[B]

The tea is. I never followed him to begin with. Oh, so I did.

[A]

So there's no tea.

[B]

So it was always, like. It was always like. Like the. We always had, like, at the beginning, I always had, like, that, like, rivalry thing with him. So it was. It was a joke at the beginning. I didn't follow him.

[A]

And then once you left, you didn't feel the need to follow to keep up?

[B]

No.

[A]

What do you think about out and about still going on without you?

[B]

Oh, is it?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, good.

[A]

And what do you think about that?

[B]

I think it's great.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Get a girl.

[A]

[B]

[A]
