A
Good morning, millennials.
- [00:04]
B
Welcome back to the Toast and Happy Tuesday. That feels like a Monday, because, like, I'm back in my studio for the first time, landed, hopped up the plane at La Yux, literally every time I leave your house. And again, no slight against you. Like, I'm so happy to be home. I feel disgusting. I wish I never left. Like, it's monsooning in New York. My flight was four hours.
- [00:23]
A
You never left me.
- [00:24]
B
Yeah. Like, this sucks, dude. This book. I hate podcasting with you in person. Like, the remaining episodes are going to be so much better this week because we're apart and that's why I had to leave.
- [00:34]
A
No, I agree. We have gotten into such a good groove with remote podcasting, and I realize, like, what it is when we're together. Like, we're having so much fun, we don't want to stop and work. However, when we're apart, it's like, I would never be like, hey, let's do it a little late today. Like, I respect your schedule and you respect mine. Like, I know you made a lot happen to get there. Like, we are too scared of each other.
- [00:53]
B
So lazy together.
- [00:55]
A
We're so lazy together because we just want to, like, be together. But when we're apart, we're, like, too scared of the other to just, like, say, screw the schedule.
- [01:03]
B
No. And the schedule is what keeps us alive. Like, but when I'm at your house or you're here, it's just like, whatever. I hate podcasting with you in person. So as much as I hated flying home and, like, leaving my family and, like, waking up without the boys in my bed, like, it was horrible. It is the right thing to do so we can churn out premium episodes. Four more episodes until the end of toast season. What? I forget.
- [01:22]
A
Six, seven.
- [01:25]
B
I feel like at the beginning of the year, we thought it was seven and it was actually six. Cause remember, we celebrated six years of toast.
- [01:30]
A
Hold on. Our episode called Season of the six. Let me just look in the podcast app and tell you what year that was.
- [01:35]
B
In the podcast app, they'll just tell you what season you're on.
- [01:38]
A
Oh, that too. Okay. That would have been much smarter, but now I'm too far deep.
- [01:43]
B
We are just.
- [01:44]
A
Season of the six was 2023. This is season seven, and next season will be season eight. Wow.
- [01:49]
B
Do you know that on Apple Podcasts, like, when you go to the page of a podcast that you're looking at, they give you different details and it says the hosts and guests, and people's face comes up. It Says our show is hosted by Claudia Ashrae and Jackie Ashrey and our recurring guest is Goldie Hawn.
- [02:04]
A
So that just has to do with, like, the things that we talk about. Their AI isn't that smart. And they just think, oh, we talked about Goldie Hawn. Maybe she was on the show. It gets a little confusing, but, like, I'm not mad about it yet. Goldie Hawn was on the show.
- [02:16]
B
Should we. What if we just reached out to.
- [02:18]
A
Goldie, made it true.
- [02:20]
B
Made it true.
- [02:21]
A
Made honest men out of apple. So yes, I'm sad that you are gone, but we have so much goodness this week that we really can't be mad. And I also agree it does feel like a Monday. So we've kind of hacked this week into feeling like a short week by having a crazy schedule.
- [02:39]
B
We also definitely have a NALAFI today, a nice long one for you because we've got really good stories. We've got to catch up with each other. We also have deer toasters. Oh my God, I was cackling. The deer toasters today are, like, actually really crazy. And one of them we are responsible for, like, the girl being in the pickle that she's in. Oi, oi.
- [02:55]
A
And now when you say dear toasters are really crazy, like, they've been really crazy. And I'm actually scared. I'm scared of what is coming our way.
- [03:03]
B
Okay, tell me if you agree with this because maybe it's just like me thinking everything is about us because, like, it is. Do you feel like everyone's talking about deer toasters?
- [03:11]
A
Yeah, Tears. Toasters is having a moment.
- [03:13]
B
Okay, love that. Maybe do you think it has anything to do with the shift from Wednesday to Tuesday?
- [03:18]
A
Perhaps it also has to do with the time of year. Like just familial ties things are happening. I feel like this is the time of year where people either get engaged or break up around the holidays because they don't want to bring you home to their families. Like, it's just, it's a wild time of year.
- [03:32]
B
It's ripe for Dear Toaster submissions is what you're saying.
- [03:35]
A
Yes. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
- [03:37]
B
And then tomorrow we're going to do Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recap Friday. It'll be our last episode, regular episode of the year. So we'll both watch. Oh, no, nevermind, just ignore me. Yeah, just say something because I, like, wasn't speaking English.
- [03:51]
A
Great, great. Yeah. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Very excited. I may recap Southern charm on Friday. Because that's on Thursdays. There you go. There you go. Oh, Pargie.
- [04:05]
B
What was the par song we were singing last week?
- [04:08]
A
And I'll never stop singing my part. Nope. That's how that was it.
- [04:12]
B
No, that was, like, pretty much it. You were just off key. It goes like this. No, actually, I don't know.
- [04:18]
A
I'll never stop singing my parties.
- [04:21]
B
No, definitely not.
- [04:22]
A
I know that's not right. But, like, I like it too.
- [04:27]
B
Something like that.
- [04:29]
A
Yeah. I really. The more we do our show and, you know, our business evolves, like, the more all signs are pointing to an album. Like, for so many reasons. One, like, people do comedy albums also, like, for the children. Like, people love singing these songs. You could listen in the car with your kids. Like, I want this album. I know it really wouldn't yield anything in terms of, like, revenue or. But, like, it would literally do nothing for us other than, like, joy bring joy.
- [04:55]
B
I agree. I was gonna say. I didn't know where you were going with that sentence. But the more we do this show and the more our business evolves, it's very clear, like, we need to put out a children's entertainment album. Like, seriously, this would need to be for the kids. Like, and I'll never stop singing that Pargie song is obviously the intro. We obviously need to finally finish our Selena Gomez song. I'm like, being alone too much to dance with your.
- [05:17]
A
No, but, like, do, do, do to Theodore. Like, this is so fun for the children. It's fun for the whole family because you can be listening to, like, music in the car with your kids and you're being swirly.
- [05:27]
B
And I really do believe we get asked all the time, like, what would you guys be doing if you weren't doing this for a living? And we always give, like, blanket answers, like social media. But I really believe, like, I would be climbing the corporate ladder of children's entertainment, and I would be, like, a pivotal, either talent wise or an executive.
- [05:43]
A
You know, I actually think, like, as a duo, we would be unstoppable.
- [05:47]
B
Because you're encroaching on my dream.
- [05:48]
A
No, no, no, no, no. You would be the talent. I'm not. I want to be behind the scenes. Like, I want to be my manager. I know. I want to be, like, focusing on the educational and enrichment piece. And it's like you go off and provide the entertainment value. But, like, I. I want it because my dream was always. Not always, but, like, I do think something I'd be really good at is, like, being a substitute teacher. I Don't want to do it all the time, but, like, once in a while I'm coming in. So I feel like I could teach them, like, through you, through music. And I'd want to be on, like, the content development team. But no, I should not be singing.
- [06:17]
B
No, you need to be working with, like, the researchers and the scientists. Like, how that Imogen Heap song is, like, especially. It's like, especially engineered to titillate and stimulate and soothe babies. Something about the different sound. They did a lot of research. Like, you would be ahead of the R and D team, who then sends the files to me, and me and my team implement that into the music.
- [06:36]
A
Yeah, I'd want to work for you, I guess.
- [06:38]
B
Oh, I'm so down. What do you think I'd be like as a boss?
- [06:42]
A
So scary.
- [06:43]
B
A thousand percent.
- [06:45]
A
So, so scary.
- [06:46]
B
Yeah. Although I. I'm also your younger sister, so, like, I'd be limited in how, like, you know, bossy I can be.
- [06:53]
A
Like. But don't you think you'd be, like, taking out years old gripes like, you can finally tell your big sis what to do?
- [06:59]
B
That's actually a really good point. I'm glad you brought that up. I don't really have gripes with.
- [07:03]
A
You don't have years old gripes about, like, being named weenie of the week every week with.
- [07:07]
B
I took my power back by making weenie of the. I monetized it. Like, seriously, gripe vanished. I don't have. I have gripes, like, with, you know, other people. Like, some seriously, like you. It's funny. Like, I seriously forget nothing. But in the family, like, I don't really have, like, childhood trauma gripes, things.
- [07:23]
A
Like that that you're, like, holding on to and, like, taking out on us when we least expect it.
- [07:27]
B
Let me think, let me think. Because actually, if there was a sister that I would, like, take out on, it would be you. We were, like, the least close growing up.
- [07:35]
A
Right?
- [07:36]
B
And I think, like, I thought you were mean. Like, for sure. Like, you didn't get me and I didn't get you.
- [07:40]
A
It's true. That's what's always so crazy. We actually just did an interview recently. Yeah, we do interviews.
- [07:44]
B
Yeah, we talk about.
- [07:46]
A
And we actually gave this juicy little anecdote that didn't run to the end, but I actually thought that was, like, one of the more interesting things that we said, which is that growing up, we've always been closest sisters there. There's six years between Olivia and Margo, and there's four of us, so like, that's a lot of girls close in age. We have everything in common, and we were all very close. However, if we had to say who was the least close, it was Claudia.
- [08:07]
B
And I, because we did split off into two groups of two at certain times, more often than not naturally, it was Olivia and Jackie, and then Margo. And I was the youngest, oldest, and the youngest. But then Olivia and I really started to get really close. We had a lot of similar interests, I would say. Like, the family dynamic shifted when we started watching Law and Order svu. And then, like, me and Olivia were a unit. And then you and Margot were a unit, too.
- [08:27]
A
Yeah. And you guys really like the cook, the Food Network.
- [08:30]
B
We did. And you and I. So the different ways we could have split up, we were never together. It was either me, Olivia.
- [08:36]
A
We never split up in our own way, like, until now.
- [08:39]
B
Right. And so the fact that we ended up working so closely together is actually kind of odd. But back to the childhood gripe. Like, we were all really close growing up, but, yeah, I guess you and I were the least close, so I. If there was anyone I would have a gripe with, it's you. And I could tell you I don't.
- [08:53]
A
Great. I don't have one, because that was.
- [08:55]
B
Kind of the thing. Like, you didn't even literally talk to me, like, enough to have a gripe. Do you know what I mean?
- [08:59]
A
Like, seven seasons later, the grip has been. It's good to know that we don't have.
- [09:04]
B
We are washing our hands of this gripe. No, we're all good over here.
- [09:09]
A
No, that's really funny. That's really funny. I guess, like, growing up, something that frustrated me was, like, I could never. When Olivia and I started to make, like, friends that would, like, drive us places and stuff. Like, even when we were driving with, like, our counselor, our friends who drove, like, I was never allowed to sit shotgun. Like, she always was sitting shotgun because she's older. And that's just how it, like, goes in the family. Actually, this book we read for redhead shred sisters, like, the younger sister, it's all about her gripes with her older sister. And, like, she never got to sit in the front seat. And, like. Yeah, that's facts.
- [09:36]
B
That is annoying. Like, never get it right.
- [09:40]
A
Now people give me the front seat one. It's like, nobody wants it anymore. Like, sitting in the back, it's like, rolling kids.
- [09:45]
B
Yeah.
- [09:46]
A
But because of my nausea, I have been promoted to the front seat.
- [09:50]
B
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's.
- [09:51]
A
So you have been promoted, Margot.
- [09:54]
B
I Guess. I wonder if she. Did she talk on the redheads at her middle seat trauma. Because like, when we would get in a car, it was always the same, you know, layout mom in the front, live in the front, us three in the back. But who wants the middle? The youngest sister gets the middle. It's the worst seat. You don't have armrests, everybody's like kicking you. There's nowhere to put your legs. And that was Margot's designated spot for life. What does she feel about that? Did she discuss that on the redheads? Does she have middle seat trauma gripes?
- [10:19]
A
No, she didn't mention it. And now with captain seats, like, where does the youngest child go? Back. What's preferred, middle seat or backpack?
- [10:26]
B
I think backpack. You get a whole row. She would have loved that thousand percent. If only we had a three row vehicle at the time.
- [10:34]
A
Oh, sister tings.
- [10:36]
B
Oh, sister tings. We have a lot to discuss today. There are stories, there's dear toasters. So I'm ready to dive in. Unless there's anything we haven't covered that you would like to discuss.
- [10:46]
A
No, I'm ready to dive in because I saw you recently, I bid you adieu, and then that was that. Not much else has happened. So without further ado to do, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.
- [10:57]
B
And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Saks.com I can confirm those rumors. I know a lot of people were wondering the premiere. Yeah, they were. Did you see that, like, article about us?
- [11:07]
A
It's like, no, but my gizmo look was brought to you by Saks.com how about that?

Like they're giving you ideas for gifts that you're not getting anywhere else. And so if you're looking for a gift for somebody who's like really into handbags, like they would recommend the Marc Jacobs leather mini bag. They're not doing like basic stuff, they're doing really tailored, really niche. Because sometimes these gift guides are actually not helpful. But that's what separatesax.com is. Their gift guides are actually premium and they're giving you things like you haven't seen on other websites. And of course, when it comes to holiday shopping, it's so important to shop for yourself. You don't want to be like, you know, you work so hard to look good for everyone and then like you show up at a slob at like at the holiday party, right?
- [12:29]

A
Thank you. Turd Time.
- [15:59]
B
What can I say? It was very musical theater of me. I feel like that's, like, the transition from one scene to another, then it's nighttime.
- [16:09]
A
Yeah, I prefer Whoa. As a transition.
- [16:15]
B
Oh, I like that too. I prefer not my best, but you know what I was going for.
- [16:23]
A
Well, speaking of Wicked, our first story. Golden Globe nominations. Golden Globe nominations are out, actually.
- [16:31]
B
Is it a story that Jay Z was, like, out and about last night?
- [16:34]
A
No, like, because it's just a premiere for.
- [16:37]
B
Yeah, I just want to talk about it briefly after. Remind me, because I had a thought.
- [16:39]
A
Okay, you could talk about it now.
- [16:41]
B
Okay, so Jay Z, like, classic us, forced his family to go out last night. You know, they were fighting in the car, being like, Beyonce's like, seriously, you and your stained reputation. Now I have to be seen with you. Tina was there too, but they were.
- [16:54]
A
Showing up for Blue.
- [16:55]
B
For blue. For Blue. Of course. I'm just. Could the timing have been worse?
- [16:58]
A
Because I don't leave the house at this point? Like, I think Beyonce has more, like, clout in the relationship where it's like, if she doesn't want to go to something and she's not doing him this favor, she's not going to do it.
- [17:09]
B
Well, he shouldn't have went.
- [17:11]
A
He. Yeah, but don't you think that's, like, a sign of an admission?
- [17:15]
B
I know, but this is Blue Ivy's big night, and we're talking about Jay Z. Like, he should not have went, and it wouldn't have Been a big deal if they had Tina, Beyonce, like three generations of women.
- [17:22]
A
Beautiful. Like, he's a big business end. Non problematic queen on a business trip.
- [17:26]
B
Yeah. Like, I get what they're doing. He's like, he's maintaining his innocence. I have nothing to hide. So, yeah, we're going to move south Mufasa, and you're gonna like it. But I was really shook to see him. And then seriously, three seconds later, on the red carpet, Crystal Kong, Minkoff and her family. Because it's her husband's directorial movie, right?
- [17:44]
A
Because he did Lion King.
- [17:45]
B
He is actually such a big deal. They didn't even play that up that much. Like, she could have been way more annoying. He is such a big deal, Rob, with the Lion King. And obviously Mufasa is like a spin off of it. So I was shocked to see. And they brought their kids and they did, like, a cute little. She's. She actually had clout. She didn't use it right. She could have done better. But I thought it was interesting to see. But I was shocked. Jackie, guess. Did you see what Blue Ivy was wearing? First of all, she looked gorgeous.
- [18:09]
A
Yes.
- [18:09]
B
How old do you think Blue Ivy is?
- [18:11]
A
I feel like we know, like, that she's probably 16, 15.
- [18:16]
B
She's 12. Okay. I don't know where it was. It said, like, blue ivy, comma, 12. I was like, excuse me.
- [18:22]
A
Wow.
- [18:23]
B
I thought she was 17. Like, I was shocked. Just fun fact.
- [18:27]
A
Very exciting for Blue and Mufasa. So it's the origin story of Mufasa, which, like, should be a good movie because I loved what they did with the Lion King live action. Like, seriously, Pargie. Perfection.
- [18:39]
B
Parchy perfection. Whoever did that, like, you have created.
- [18:42]
A
You know who did it.
- [18:43]
B
Yeah. Lie.
- [18:44]
A
Jon Favreau.
- [18:45]
B
Oh, was it not Crystal's husband?
- [18:47]
A
No, like, Jon Favreau directed that movie, which is the weirdest fact.
- [18:51]
B
Okay, we need to talk about Jon Favreau. Like, I know we have a lot.
- [18:54]
A
To do today, but the thing is, back in 2020, like, we had an episode titled, like, Jon Favreau and where we did talk about him, because Jon.
- [19:01]
B
Favreau is, like, the biggest director of all time. Every time I'm even watching, like, an old movie, it'll say, to be directed by Jon Favreau. But are you also telling me that that's Jon Favreau, the actor who we know from, like, stuff?
- [19:12]
A
I believe. So, like, I. I think that we did this.
- [19:15]
B
So later.
- [19:16]
A
It's the same producer? Yeah, he's a producer on all these things. Like, Mandalorian.
- [19:22]
B
He's an iron man.
- [19:23]
A
I think young Sheldon.
- [19:26]
B
Yes. Oh, my God, yes, yes, yes.
- [19:28]
A
Yeah. And I believe the Lion King. Yeah, here it is. He's a producer on the Lion King.
- [19:32]
B
The live action one, but he's also an actor now. I think his acting days are a little bit behind him.
- [19:37]
A
I think he's been eclipsed by himself.
- [19:39]
B
But like, I know his face and how many directors faces do I know? I know him because he's an actor.
- [19:43]
A
He's in that movie couples retreat where they all are like, you know, the last leg of their relationship so they go on vacation. Okay, that's a good movie.
- [19:53]
B
It is. That's just like a thing in Hollywood. Like, that's just like a cultural blind spot for me. How Jon Favreau, like, the actor who's like that funny, big guy, is also like one of the most critically acclaimed. He's literally like a. He's like Reese Withers, James Cameron, like, he does everything. Okay, I'm just. I was confused about that. Like, thank you. I need to clear that up.
- [20:14]
A
Anyways, now back to our first story. If we Golden Globe nominations are here and really awkwardly, Amelia Perez is dominating with 10 nominations. And like, I'm glad to know what we found out yesterday. Otherwise I'd be like, oh, this is probably like amazing and Selena deserves the the Globe. Here are the nominees.
- [20:33]
B
It's so crazy.
- [20:35]
A
I know.
- [20:35]
B
I just want to say I. I read a lot of our comments yesterday. The Latina community, like, they do not stand for this. Like, they're not standing with Selena. Like, they actually found a downright offensive. And I stand with my tostada community. So I stand by what I said. Even though the Selenators were coming at me, like, I actually don't care.
- [20:49]
A
The Selenators are always coming at you. Like, so true. Three things you can be certain of. Death, taxes, and the Selenators coming for you. Coming at someone, coming for anyone.
- [20:59]
B
Yes. Selena also, like, finds herself in a lot of peculiar situations. So I feel like being a fan of hers is actually a full time job, like, defensively. Do you know what I mean? Like, you're always defending her acting. And I actually somebody commented was like, what is up with like the Selenators? Like, they're always having to defend Selena's like, inability to do her job. Like, whenever. When she last performed at that award show ama's and like she actually couldn't sing, dance, or even walk. And everybody's like, you try performing in front of thousands. It's not my job. Like, and so I thought that was actually really an astute observation. Like being a Salinator is a full time 360 degree operation.
- [21:33]
A
Best motion picture drama. The Brutalist. A complete unknown. Oh, I've heard of that because that's Bob Marley. Timothy.
- [21:41]
B
Oh, Timothy.
- [21:43]
A
Conclave. Dune Part two. That's also Timothy, right?
- [21:47]
B
Yeah.
- [21:48]
A
Nickel Boys. Less than Nickelback. I prefer Nickelback. September 5th.
- [21:54]
B
I haven't heard of any of these movies. As the years go on. Like, usually there was two, and then there's one that I've even heard of. I haven't even heard of any of these. I'm not a movie buff. Give it all to Wicked. It's the only movie anybody cared about this year. Like, seriously, how was it even? Not a nominated so.
- [22:08]
A
So the Golden Globe splits up Best Picture for drama and then musical or comedy, whereas the Oscars, it's all one category. So here are the movies that you've heard of for best motion picture, musical or comedy.
- [22:17]
B
Okay, thank you.
- [22:18]
A
Anora. No Challengers. Emelia Perez. A real pain. The substance. Wicked. Okay, so here's the one you heard of.
- [22:25]
B
So here's what I all I need to Wicked. Well, of course, give it to Wicked. But I saw Challengers. Me and Ben, like, watched it. We enjoyed it. I mean, we watched the whole thing. I didn't, like, think it was amazing. I got through it. The fact that that's what's considered, like, that's the bar. I feel like when I was younger, like, the bar for movies that were nominated for Oscars and Golden Globes was so much higher. Like, this movie about, like, nothing that doesn't even have an ending that's made the list. Oh, like the bar has been lowered in my time.
- [22:55]
A
Yes. But also, it's two categories. So that's like 10 movies. And I wonder if it were one, maybe it's less.
- [23:00]
B
Right?
- [23:00]
A
I'm not even gonna tell it. Like, my opinion here is, like, so irrelevant.
- [23:04]
B
It's Wicked.
- [23:05]
A
I saw Wicked. But I guess, like, what also, like, looked good enough to see? Because I saw Wicked for a reason. Because it looked marketed.
- [23:12]
B
It was marketed well.
- [23:14]
A
Yeah. And it's. It's a great story like nothing else, where I'm like, oh, I have to go and see that.
- [23:19]
B
Well, I saw Challengers.
- [23:20]
A
Not because even, like, even Barbie I didn't see in theaters.
- [23:23]
B
I didn't even see Challengers because it looked so compelling. There was a lot of discourse about it online because there's like, this one almost threesome scene, and I was like, I gotta see what everyone's talking about. So I don't even feel like the movie was adequately marketed towards me. I watched it because I'm like a loser who doesn't want to be left out.
- [23:38]
A
Understood.
- [23:39]
B
And how did my truth.
- [23:40]
A
So now you're in. How does it feel?
- [23:44]
B
I'll never get those two hours back. And like the movie did not have an ending. I can't stress that enough.
- [23:49]
A
Interesting. Next is Best Motion Picture Animated Flow. Inside out too. As I get older, like, this becomes my dominant category because this is what I've watched, but I've not seen these.
- [24:00]
B
It's the Circle, the Circle of Light.
- [24:09]
A
No, I haven't seen any of these though. But I've heard of two of them. Flo. Inside Out 2. Memoir of a Snail. Gotta see that.
- [24:16]
B
Moana.
- [24:17]
A
Memoirs of a Snail shaw.
- [24:19]
B
Okay.
- [24:20]
A
Moana 2. Wallace and Gromit, Vengeance Most Foul and the Wild Robot. Can't believe I missed that one.
- [24:27]
B
I actually feel like there wasn't an animated film this year that like took the kids community by storm. And adults like, like they wasn't like.
- [24:34]
A
Like a Frozen where it's like, wow, this is a cultural shift for the like every.
- [24:38]
B
The kids were obsessed. But then like, seriously, even the pair encanto, like Coco, like there are ones every year that like really transcend age. And I actually don't feel like any of these. Maybe Inside out too. But I didn't even hear it was that good.
- [24:51]
A
Yeah. And it's a sequel. Like it had the established audience. They didn't have to do much.
- [24:54]
B
Yeah. So I'm not sure.
- [24:55]
A
Now this next category is like the Swirly one. Cinematic and box office achievement.
- [25:00]
B
So like popular movies that performed well.
- [25:03]
A
First, Alien. Romulus. No. Second Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Third, Deadpool and Wolverine.
- [25:10]
B
Four.
- [25:11]
A
Gladiator two. Five. Inside out six. Twisters seven. Wicked eight. The Wild Robot. I feel like I was just thinking of something that should have been here. That's surprising. That's not here.
- [25:22]
B
Well, Wicked's going to win.
- [25:24]
A
You think so? Was that the biggest movie of the year?
- [25:26]
B
Well, because this category is like for low brow movies that had big budgets that weren't like artsy enough for. For the main category. But Wicked is in the main category too, so it has to win.
- [25:35]
A
By the way, here's a crazy suggestion for what should have been nominated.
- [25:38]
B
It ends with us 1,000%.
- [25:42]
A
Thank you. Thank you very much.
- [25:44]
B
Oh, you just know Justin Baldoni is vomiting. He didn't get nominated for director and neither did John Chu.
- [25:50]
A
I know people are mad about that. And they're right for that 1000%. Maybe now. Like, I feel like they didn't expect Wicked to have the effect that it did. And he'll definitely get nominated next year, like with the sequel, but it's too little too late. Just like they didn't nominate Ari for the Oscars. Like don't sleep on Wicked.
- [26:06]
B
It's wrong.
- [26:07]
A
Don't bet against Wicked.
- [26:10]
B
What was the. I actually didn't see the nominees for the original song. Did Luke Combs get a nominee nomination? Because seriously, Oklahoma from Sisters is not only an amazing song, it was immensely popular.
- [26:21]
A
Great question. Best original song, motion picture. Beautiful that way. From the Last Showgirl, which actually Miley is on to. Miley is nominated for a Globe. Then Compress and Repress from challengers El Mal, Emilia Perez, Forbidden Road, Better man and Kiss the sky, the Wild Robot.
- [26:35]
B
So that's wrong. Luke Combs deserved a nomination for Oklahoma and from the Twister soundtrack and he.
- [26:40]
A
Deserved a win for that 1,000%. But like a nomination, another song from Emilia Prez was also nominated. That's insane.
- [26:47]
B
That's insane.
- [26:48]
A
Twisters put out a whole ass album of songs.
- [26:50]
B
Originals.
- [26:52]
A
Sick.
- [26:53]
B
That's wrong.
- [26:54]
A
Then we have best performance. There's so many. Because it's broken down by musical versus drama. There are so many categories, but I'm gonna just breeze through them if I may.
- [27:02]
B
Just, just the highlights, please.
- [27:04]
A
Best performance by a female in a motion picture drama. Pamela Anderson. The Last Showgirl. Angelina Jolie. Maria Nicole Kidman. Baby Girl. Tilda Swinton. The Room Next Door. Fernando Torres. I'm still here. Kate wins it.
- [27:16]
B
Lee Star studded category, by the way.
- [27:19]
A
Yeah, yeah. Next, Best performance by a male actor in a motion piction drama. Adrien Brody, the Brutalist. Always a good choice, my friend. Timothy Chalamet, A complete unknown. Daniel Craig, Queer Coleman Domingo. Sing Sing Ralph. Phineas. Conclave, Sebastian, Stan, The Apprentice.
- [27:35]
B
Don't Care.
- [27:36]
A
Best performance by female actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy. Amy Adams. Night. Cynthia Erivo. Wicked, Carla. Sophia Gascon. Amelia Perez, Mikey Madison, Anora, Demi Moore. The Substance. Zendaya. Challengers.
- [27:50]
B
It's Cynthia's award to lose.
- [27:52]
A
You think?
- [27:53]
B
I think that about Ariana too. I don't know if both will win. Like, is that crazy?
- [28:00]
A
I. I don't know. It depends how much like Wicked has endeared the industry. You know, I just don't know the politics.
- [28:08]
B
Yeah, yeah. Golden Globes is so political.
- [28:10]
A
Yeah. All these awards are about political and campaigns and I just don't know if they want to give it all To Wicked. I feel like they don't.
- [28:17]
B
I feel like they don't either. Especially because the only thing that discredits Wicked is that it's an adaptation. So it's not like an original script or an original story. It's actually an adaptation of an adaptation.
- [28:33]
A
Do you know everything these days is an adaptation?
- [28:35]
B
I know, I know. But if you wanted to critique it compared to, like, other films, you could say, well, this is an original story and this is not.
- [28:41]
A
Yeah. Then best performance by a male actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy. Justin. Nice. Jesse Eisenberg. A real pain. Hugh Grant. Heretic. Gabrielle LaBelle. Gabriel LaBelle. Saturday night. Jesse Plemons. Kinds of kindness. Glenn Powell. Hitman Sebastian Stan. A different man.
- [28:56]
B
I don't know any of these, but give it to Jesse Plemons. Nobody works harder. Seriously, did you see how fat he got for that Elizabeth Olsen TV show?
- [29:05]
A
Yeah.
- [29:06]
B
Like, that man is committed. And by the time it was award season, he was back to his OG weight. Like, seriously, anyone willing to put their body through that deserves all the awards, because I wouldn't.
- [29:16]
A
No. And he's like a. He's an actor who, like, does it for the art, like, not for the celebrity.
- [29:20]
B
Oh, he loves to fucking act. And he got his start on the greatest show of all time, Friday Night Lights.
- [29:25]
A
Like, we married to Kiersten Dun. Like, the facts so fun about him.
- [29:29]
B
Oh, and he's in our favorite episode of Black Mirror.
- [29:32]
A
Oh, my God, stop.
- [29:34]
B
I think about that episode all the time. The one where he's like, kidnaps his co workers.
- [29:37]
A
Yeah, yeah. And puts him in his video game.
- [29:40]
B
And then, like, they end up killing him and he, like, dies, like, on his video game. Like, it was so good.
- [29:44]
A
Yeah. Best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture. Selena Gomez. Emilia Perez. So this is not looking good today. Ariana Grande. Wicked. Felicity Jones. The brutalist. Margaret Qualley. The substance. Isabella Rossini. Rossellini Conclave. Zoe Saldana. Amelia Perez.
- [30:00]
B
I don't want the Selenators to come for me. This is just like, I would say this about anyone. I feel like for her performance to have been so discredited by, like, the community it was made for and then her to get a Golden Globe nomination the next day actually really discredits the parginess of a Golden Globe. Like, it really, like, it has widely been just. She wasn't even speaking the right. She wasn't even speaking the language correctly. But you think that's the best of the year? Like, yeah. I feel like it's actually not a good look for the Golden Globes.
- [30:32]
A
No, I agree. It's not. It's not looking well. And then best TV series drama, the Day of the Jackal, the Diplomat, Mr. And Mrs. Smith on Prime Video. Shogun, Slow Horses, Squid Game.
- [30:45]
B
I just know Nobody watched the Mr. And Mrs. Smith reboot. Like, I saw like one commercial for it. They didn't even, like, market it.
- [30:51]
A
I can't believe it's been nominated for something.
- [30:53]
B
That's what I'm saying. Like, really.
- [30:55]
A
And then best TV series, musical or comedy, which is like, what would be swirly is Abbott elementary, the Bear, the Gentleman Hacks. Nobody wants this. Only Murders in the Building.
- [31:05]
B
So happy for Aaron Foster and Sarah.
- [31:08]
A
Do you know Sarah's worked on the show too?
- [31:09]
B
Yes, yes. It's Aaron's like, baby. But Sarah, like, was a part of it for sure. But, like, when you.
- [31:13]
A
She would be up there on stage accepting the award with her, which we.
- [31:16]
B
Would love to see. I though know that the Bear is going to win. And like, that just must be annoying for Aaron Foster because, like, it's enough already with that show.
- [31:25]
A
It's not an honor to be nominated.
- [31:28]
B
No. Like, I. When we talk about shows everybody was watching and talking about this year, like, it was. Nobody wants this.
- [31:34]
A
Yeah, it's really true. I think it, like, broke all the streaming records. Like, for Netflix.
- [31:39]
B
Correct.
- [31:39]
A
So I feel like they could win.
- [31:41]
B
I feel like. I just feel like these awards, like, they don't care about what's popular and it's so annoying. Things are popular for a reason.
- [31:47]
A
No. And they put that one category in for black box office achievement so that they don't have to deal with popularity in other categories.
- [31:52]
B
There also was a category for concert films, am I correct? Like concert DVDs. And Taylor Swift was not nominated, which is shocking.
- [31:58]
A
That is shocking. Yeah, I guess it came for eras. Did it come. It came out two years ago. No, one last October. Last.
- [32:08]
B
Would it. Would it be. I think it would. I think it was included, like, in this. I'm not sure. Actually. Don't quote me on this. I just on social media.
- [32:15]
A
The other notable nomination is best performance. Sorry, Best performance in standup comedy on tv. Jamie Foxx, which is called what Had Happened was. And we're actually talking about that later. Nikki Glaser, Seth Meyers, Adam Sandler, Ali Wong and Rami Yousef. But Nikki Glaser is the hosting of the award show and she could also be a winner.
- [32:36]
B
That would be cool.
- [32:37]
A
That would be cool.
- [32:38]
B
And when you talk about like, who made waves in comedy this year? Like, it was Nikki Glaser.
- [32:42]
A
It was Nikki Glaser.
- [32:44]
B
Although again, Shane Gillis, like, being snubbed is like, they just don't like him. Like, he's not industry approved because that really was the comedy event of the year. Like, everybody was talking about it.
- [32:55]
A
Right. So I will watch the Golden Globes in the beginning in earnest, see how. I see how it's going. But I don't have a big stake in who's going to win.
- [33:03]
B
No, me neither. But I'm going to tune in because I want to see Nikki Glaser and I want to see Wicked.
- [33:08]
A
Yeah.
- [33:09]
B
And is there a performance? I feel like they're only going to perform at the Oscars.
- [33:13]
A
Yes. Are they not nominated for a song, though?
- [33:17]
B
Are their performances, the performance, Golden Globes? I don't think so.
- [33:21]
A
I don't think so. But also, it's only the songs that are nominated that perform, so.
- [33:24]
B
Oh, right.
- [33:25]
A
And also, their songs aren't original.
- [33:27]
B
Oh, my God. So they might not even perform.
- [33:29]
A
Yeah. They'll have to find a way around that.
- [33:32]
B
They'll figure it out.
- [33:33]
A
They will. Anyways, it's really like, list time of year, which this was like, we always do nominations. But our next story is a big list news.
- [33:41]
B
Okay.
- [33:42]
A
Because the short list for times person of the year has been announced.
- [33:46]
B
Yep.
- [33:47]
A
I always forget that they tell you, like, the 10 people that they're choosing from.
- [33:51]
B
Oh. Oh, I didn't know that it was like, an official list from Time. I thought it was, like, everybody guessing.
- [33:55]
A
No, it's@time.com they revealed their 10 candidates. People vote.
- [34:00]
B
It's already done.
- [34:01]
A
It's already like, they vote, but they're letting you know who was in consideration. So it's just, like, a great way to see the year at a glance, I would say.
- [34:08]
B
And I feel like this year, not only because it was an election year, but, like, just because of everything going on in the world, like, was so political. Like, I don't think they could or should give it to, like, a Taylor Swift this year, whereas in years past, like, it was so her year. I think giving it to someone who's not like, a world leader or a politician would be wrong. Like between, like, Israel, Ukraine, like, there was the election. There was a lot politically. Politically going on in the. In the world this year.
- [34:32]
A
Yeah. And that was the big theme of the year. We were even talking about on our Patreon episode when we tried to do, like, Thanksgiving table topics, trying not to talk about, like, politics or the election is literally impossible possible here. Unless you want to talk about the list area outbreak, which by the way.
- [34:46]
B
I don't know if you want to talk about whilst you're eating turkey, but it is a big deal, that listeria outbreak and we let boar's head get away with far too much.
- [34:54]
A
Yes, but your turkey at Thanksgiving, like was hopefully cooked through.
- [34:57]
B
And I'm just, I'm just saying as a society, we moved on from that listeria outbreak far too fast and it.
- [35:03]
A
Went on way too long. And now like with the E. Coli and the carrots, what's going on?
- [35:07]
B
It's like if everybody could just wash their hands, like that would be great. Especially those who work near food that's being mass produced.
- [35:15]
A
So here are the contenders for times person of the year.
- [35:19]
B
1.
- [35:20]
A
Kamala Harris.
- [35:22]
B
2.
- [35:22]
A
Kate Middleton. It was a big year for Kate Middleton. That was Q1. Okay.
- [35:28]
B
Yeah. But compared to the other people on the list, like, seriously, I don't think.
- [35:31]
A
She'S going to get it, but it was actually crazy. She was a big part of the year. Everyone was talking about her. The conspiracies.
- [35:38]
B
Yeah, no, everyone was talking about her.
- [35:39]
A
But actually overall she was sleep till Easter.
- [35:42]
B
She was MIA for most post of the year. Like that's what the story was about. So how could it be time persons of the year for you to leave your house?
- [35:47]
A
Okay, so. So she wouldn't win for you?
- [35:49]
B
No. Who was the first one?
- [35:50]
A
Kamala.
- [35:51]
B
Okay, like that, that would make sense.
- [35:54]
A
3.
- [35:54]
B
Elon also would make sense.
- [35:57]
A
I wonder has he ever won? I'll go back and look at past, but I think I'll look it up. I think that at some point I.
- [36:02]
B
Don'T think he's one.
- [36:03]
A
He should be person of the year. And maybe this year it was a big Elon year. The cyber truck, the robot, Kim's boyfriend.
- [36:11]
B
Huh. Okay. Previous time, people of the year. Let me know when you're ready.
- [36:14]
A
I'm ready. Like in the last 10 years, you know. Okay.
- [36:16]
B
Because they have me starting from 1927.
- [36:19]
A
Also interesting. Oh, we don't have all the time in the world on the car.
- [36:23]
B
For some reason this list is only starting me at 19. 9. I mean at 2019. And it was Greta tune.
- [36:28]
A
Oh, wait, but oh, yikes. In 2023 it was Taylor Swift.
- [36:35]
B
And then that felt right.
- [36:36]
A
The year before was the Ukrainian president Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine together.
- [36:43]
B
Oh, not the spirit spirit and the.
- [36:45]
A
President Elon was 2021.
- [36:48]
B
And then Joe and Kamala, 2020. And what was Greta Tune Joe and 2020, the guardians.
- [36:57]
A
Aren't those the COVID nurses?
- [36:59]
B
No, that's what I thought. But this person is what year? Oh, all are journalists who were violently attacked or slapped with criminal charges in an apparent effort to silence the free press worldwide. I must have missed that one. Oh, Taylor Swift.
- [37:17]
A
Is that, like, a person?
- [37:18]
B
Me, too. Me too. Or like a couple of people? Because 2017 was the silence breakers.
- [37:23]
A
A couple of journalists or a couple of silence breakers.
- [37:25]
B
The voices that launched the MeToo movement. So, like Taylor Swift and other notable swirlies. 2016 was Trump. 2015, Merkel. What is she, the Prime Minister? Merkel.
- [37:37]
A
Not Markle.
- [37:38]
B
Merkel.
- [37:39]
A
I said, I know, but it sounded like Markle.
- [37:41]
B
And I was like, oh, honestly, she could have, too. She should have been.
- [37:44]
A
I mean, 2020 was such a busy year, and who knew at the outset when they exited that they'd be totally eclipsed by a virus? But, like, 2020 was their year.
- [37:51]
B
But this is 2015, Angela Merkel. 2014, the Ebola fighters. That was, like, such a throwback. Ebola.
- [38:00]
A
Yeah.
- [38:01]
B
2013, Pope Francis. 2012, Obama. So it seems like in most election years, it's the winner. Give it to the person who won. So 2012, Obama. 2016, Trump. 20. Joe. And Kamala. I'm not Joe. Getting, like, half a piece for Joe Biden by logic. And I know he's on the list. 2024 would be Trump.
- [38:20]
A
Right.
- [38:21]
B
But this also just was, like, such a busy year.
- [38:23]
A
Yes. So let's continue through the list. Another nominee, Yulia Naval Naya. She is the wife of Alexi, who died in February. He's like a Russian revolutionist oppositionist. Also nominated Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel. Next, Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve. I didn't really feel like it was.
- [38:47]
B
Jerome's year, and I actually have some questions for Jerome. I just paid my taxes and, like, I would love to see, like, an itemized list of what. What it's going to. I don't know if that's the Reserves Department or the irs. I just feel like they're all working together to hurt me.
- [39:00]
A
Yeah.
- [39:00]
B
But also, I don't want it to go to Jerome.
- [39:03]
A
Jerome's, like, big thing is, like, the interest rates, which have been, like, so high.
- [39:07]
B
It's kind of been a purgey year. For interest.
- [39:09]
A
Yeah. And for interest. But not the interest rate payers.
- [39:13]
B
No, no. For. But everyone's talking. The name on everybody's list is interest. Oh, and inflation.
- [39:17]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also nominated Big for podcasting. Joe Rogan.
- [39:22]
B
Oh, you know what? I actually feel like if there was a year for Joe Rogan to win, it wouldn't have been this. I understand he actually had a huge impact on the election, but I feel like he made way more ways 2021 scene drama.
- [39:33]
A
Yeah.
- [39:34]
B
So I don't think it's his time.
- [39:36]
A
Who won in 21? We just went over this.
- [39:38]
B
Elon.
- [39:39]
A
Oh, okay. Elon.
- [39:41]
B
Elon doing in 21. I think that was the year he, like, recycled a rocket ship, which was like his biggest feat to date. Like, you're not spending $10 billion to build a rocket ship that only goes up once. That was his documentary on Netflix.
- [39:52]
A
Yeah, yeah. And his idea that he stole from Sheldon.
- [39:55]
B
Yes, exactly.
- [39:56]
A
The rocket in the water.
- [39:57]
B
Exactly.
- [39:58]
A
Yeah. That was big. And then also he had a big year of rockets this year, so it actually could be him because of what he did with that tower, catching the rocket and it's claws. Perhaps then Claudia Sheinbaum, not to be mistaken with Claudia Ashre, but she is actually Mexico's first ever female president.
- [40:17]
B
Oh, she's Jewish. Yeah, obviously. Shein Baum. Yeah. I feel like I heard about her when she was one because everybody's like, her name is Claudia and she's Jewish. And then I never heard about. And I never heard, like, about her, like, making strides. And that's not to say she's not like, a successful president. I'm just saying, as somebody who lives a little bit north of Mexico, like, I don't hear about her work a lot. Like, I hear about, you know, Macron. Like, I hear about what Trudeau's up to. I actually feel like it's not her year. Shine Baum.
- [40:42]
A
Sorry, no, it wasn't her year. Then Trump for winning the election. But also the assassination attempts. Like, I really don't see how it's not him.
- [40:51]
B
Well, also, it's kind of like their thing that they do. Like the person who wins for the last X amount of years. I bet Obama won in 2008 for sure.
- [41:00]
A
Yeah. Oh, for sure. Because it was his first win.
- [41:02]
B
Right. 2008, 2012, 16. I don't know, but it just. It was a competitive year. The short list is kind of like.
- [41:08]
A
Who would be your number two thought for it. Who's his biggest competition? Also, let me just also say the final nominee is Mark Zuckerberg. Like, no, thanks. Oh, no.
- [41:19]
B
I actually feel like he had quite illusory year.
- [41:21]
A
Like, thanks, but no thanks.
- [41:22]
B
There have been previous years where he was like, oh, we were always watching those Senate hearings. Right. Like, and then he had the viral surfboard moment. I feel like he was, like, kind of low key this year, like getting a tan and a stylist. Like, I feel like it's on his year.
- [41:35]
A
Yeah. So who do you think it would be?
- [41:37]
B
The list, top to bottom, one more time.
- [41:39]
A
Okay. Okay. So we have Kamala, Kate Middleton.
- [41:44]
B
Eli, I just want to say it can't be Kamala. She didn't win.
- [41:47]
A
She was literally the not person.
- [41:50]
B
Yeah, I. And it can't be Kate Middleton either. She was not visible. So xx Elon.
- [41:56]
A
It could be Yulia Naval. Naya.
- [42:00]
B
I don't know. I know, like, the work of her husband and the bravery. I don't know enough. So I'll leave her. I'm not gonna X her, but I'm.
- [42:06]
A
Not sure not to know who. They're not going to give it to him. And also it would have been last year.
- [42:11]
B
Yeah, yeah, actually it would have. Although, like, this year was big for him with.
- [42:15]
A
And also the war started in Q4 of last year, by the way.
- [42:19]
B
I could definitely see, I would say the biggest story of the year is the war in Gaza in addition to the election. And it was such a big part of the election and I think why people voted the way that they did. So I actually think Netanyahu is a formidable, formidable opponent.
- [42:35]
A
You think he's number two to Trump?
- [42:37]
B
Yeah. Or Elon, but yeah, no, I would say second to Trump.
- [42:41]
A
Jerome Powell, Joe Rogan.
- [42:43]
B
No, no.
- [42:43]
A
Claudia Sheinbaum. Trump.
- [42:45]
B
No. No. Okay. Yeah. It's going to be, in my opinion, Trump or Biebsters or Elon or Elon.
- [42:53]
A
Yeah, I think it will be Trump or Elon, I guess. Or not. I just don't see it going.
- [42:58]
B
I also, I don't see them breaking their streak. Like, this is clearly what they do time strategically for the last decade or two.
- [43:06]
A
So we'll be sat until they announce. When did they say they're announcing?
- [43:10]
B
It's crazy that, like, there's really no celebrities.
- [43:13]
A
Oh, I love a little short. This is a good. I like how they did this.
- [43:16]
B
It's interesting that there's no celebrities on this list with the exception of Kate Middleton, but she is like a dignitary.
- [43:21]
A
Yeah. I think it wasn't a good year for celebrities.
- [43:24]
B
I think so too. Because if. If we're talking about the biggest year of celebrities, like, it was Taylor Swift, but compared to last year, it's sort of leveled out. We're all just, like, used to it now, you know, so last year really was her year.
- [43:35]
A
Yeah.
- [43:36]
B
And this year she just, like, worked a lot.
- [43:38]
A
Yeah. Hustle, you know, what's that?
- [43:41]
B
Silence. Money talks, wealth whispers.
- [43:43]
A
I never can remember. I remember I saw it in a commercial with, like, Michael Phelps where it's like, what you do in the dark will show in the light.
- [43:50]
B
Yeah, I like that.
- [43:51]
A
He's, like, doing his workouts at dawn and, like, it's literally dark out. No one can see. But then, like, game time. It's bright. All that work shows through.
- [43:59]
B
No. People who constantly talk about how hard they work, like, you're not. You're not working hard at all.
- [44:04]
A
Yeah.
- [44:05]
B
Because if you have so much time to chat about it, like, you could be working.
- [44:07]
A
Yeah. Like, the work is what happens. Like, nobody sees the work. You just see the result.
- [44:11]
B
Correct.
- [44:13]
A
Are you ready for our third story?
- [44:15]
B
Am I?
- [44:16]
A
No.
- [44:17]
B
I feel like no. Yeah.
- [44:18]
A
No.

- [48:53]
A
Thank you. Slash chart.
- [48:54]
B
What can I say?
- [48:57]
A
I also just want to say I think someone who was snubbed for being on this short list, even though she probably wouldn't have won but like was a person of the year was Simone Biles.
- [49:05]
B
Oh my God, I forgot that the Olympics also happened this year. That's a great call. There are no athletes on that list either.
- [49:12]
A
Yeah, I feel like she was just a real symbol of strength and perseverance.
- [49:18]
B
And like she made us so proud. Like as Americans she acted so like she held her head, she acted with such grace and like even she never really told us until now what happened in 2020. She Let everybody say all this shit about her. She really acted like such a queen. And then she also. In her personal life. You're so right. That's a great call.
- [49:39]
A
I think it was, like, really a big year for her. And not that she should be the person of the year, but, like, definitely had a real big impact on the world.
- [49:45]
B
She should be on the list.
- [49:45]
A
She should be on the list. As should Molly May for everything.
- [49:49]
B
Thousand percent.
- [49:51]
A
Okay, our next story actually meant to choose yesterday, and I forgot and we need to talk about it because we need to, like, you know, bring this story full circle, which is that Ariana Grande has reacted to the viral holding space Wicked interview and explaining, like, her pov, which really just, like, adds new color to the whole conversation and buttons it up nicely.
- [50:10]
B
Yeah, I mean, I think Ariana's pov. And then we had heard from the journalist. Now we've heard from Ari, I feel like.
- [50:17]
A
And Cynthia also. But, like.
- [50:18]
B
Yeah, but I feel like Ari's POV really explains, like, the entire miscommunication is Cynthia's fault.
- [50:24]
A
Yeah. And Cynthia is, like, taking that on and they are also laughing with this.
- [50:29]
B
So, yes, she's being cool about it because, like, I think if she had taken herself so seriously again, like, with her AI generated, she would have gotten clown on. So she actually is rolling with it because the. Okay, just explain.
- [50:40]
A
So Ari admitted in a new interview that she didn't know the meaning behind the holding space comment made in the now viral interview she took part in with Cynthia during their Wicked press tour. So she said, quote, so I had no idea what any part of it meant. She said when they sat down for the chat, she said, I didn't understand the first sentence. And then I definitely, definitely didn't understand what was happening and how you responded. She said to Cynthia, I was like, oh, what did she just say? What did you hear? And I just wanted to be there because I knew something big was happening and I didn't know how to be there. So that's when also she, like, took her by the finger to, like, be there for her, but also in a tentative way, which explains why it's like, just a finger and not a hand. And this sort of, like, really provides context to the whole exchange that, like, Ari didn't know what was happening was just like, maybe thought she missed something. And it's just sort of like when the teacher calls on you and you don't know. You weren't paying attention. And then the interviewer, like, knew she hadn't said anything.
- [51:34]
B
Yet the interviewer said that, like, this was not her question. It was a lead up just to, like, ask whatever question was coming up. But she never even got to the question because Cynthia ran with this holding.
- [51:44]
A
Space couple of words.
- [51:46]
B
And so Ari and the interviewer both didn't know what was going on. And Cynthia's just, like, being, you know, sweet, having this emotional moment. I need to hear from Cynthia now. Like, what did you think you were being asked or what?
- [52:01]
A
What compliment did you think you were being paid? You know that they're holding space for the lyrics of Divine Gravity in the.
- [52:09]
B
In the interview we're referring to with Ariana Cynthia sitting right next to her. I wish Cynthia had said, by the way. So everyone was confused about, you know, why I had this moment. Here's what I thought I was being asked because the interviewer. What? That wasn't her question.
- [52:21]
A
Right.
- [52:22]
B
It was a. It was a precursor to the question, a lead up. Ari had no fucking idea what was going on. So why did she. Why was she so breathless?
- [52:31]
A
Right. Well, I just. I have a couple of thoughts. One, like, I'm glad that we're all on the same page about this, that it was like an overblown moment and they can laugh about. And I actually think, agreed. I think the AI moment actually needed to happen, otherwise maybe Cynthia would have.
- [52:43]
B
Had, like, a different.
- [52:45]
A
A different reaction and, like, and taking it more seriously. Whereas, like, she learned, like, not everything on the Internet is so serious. However, this only went viral because, like, one person tweeted, like, the clip and said, like, I have no idea what just happened here. And then everybody, like, felt the same way. And I. But I also feel like these things happen all the time. Like, so the fact that even Ari, like, knew what moment, like, remembered the moment.
- [53:07]
B
Well, that's what's so interesting about the Internet is that, like, this particular interview wasn't streamed anywhere. Like, it was just one tweet that set off. It was such an organic viral moment because people try to go viral all the time. Like, yeah, it might get, like, millions of views, but it doesn't capture the culture.
- [53:24]
A
Yeah.
- [53:25]
B
And so what's so funny about this is that it was. Seriously, it was weeks later that this person on Twitter discovered the clip.
- [53:31]
A
Right.
- [53:31]
B
It never went anywhere.
- [53:32]
A
Just, you have to think of how many moments like this go undiscovered and how many people just go through conversations, like, not knowing what the other person said and just being like, yeah, wow, that's really powerful.
- [53:41]
B
I think about, personally, how many times in your everyday life, like, Seriously, are you talking to somebody? You've. You kind of missed the initial question or the mission and you just nod.
- [53:49]
A
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's very funny, but I feel like very glad that they have now talked about it. John Chu is there. They're all laughing about it. It's all funny. Haha. And I do feel ready to move on.
- [54:01]
B
Me too. Me too. Because we have. We're getting dangerously close to ruining this. It's still funny, but it's getting a little less funny. And I could taste like the ruining.
- [54:10]
A
Yeah. So I'm ready.
- [54:12]
B
So let's just end it here to move forward. Me too.
- [54:14]
A
Into our next story, which is Jamie Foxx tearfully describing exactly what led to his mystery hospitalization in a new Netflix special.
- [54:21]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [54:22]
A
Yeah. So Jamie Foxx on Tuesday. Today, his Netflix special just dropped. It's called Jamie Foxx. What had happened was. And he is talking about the time.
- [54:33]
B
How is he nominated for a Golden Globe when it came out today?
- [54:37]
A
Well, that's just industry things now.
- [54:40]
B
That's weird. No. Do you not agree?
- [54:42]
A
No, I do agree. Yeah.
- [54:43]
B
Okay. Because I was thinking when you said it, I'm like, wow, I literally missed a whole, Like, I didn't even hear about it. Right.
- [54:49]
A
No. Today's the day.
- [54:51]
B
He's like, wow, I've really had my head buried in the sand this year.
- [54:54]
A
He has previously only attributed his health scare to a bad headache. But during that time, the Oscar winner was taken to a doctor in Georgia who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him on his way. He said, what the fuck is that? I don't know if you can do yelps for doctors, but that has half a star. He said his sister, dear Deidre subsequently took him to the hospital where he said the angel staff saved his life and put him back together. He explained that a doctor told his sibling horrible news about his condition at the time, revealing, quote, he's having a brain bleed that has led to a stroke. If I don't go ahead right now, we're going to lose him.
- [55:27]
B
Is it from the cortisone shot or like the thing that was ailing?
- [55:29]
A
He was having a headache. The doctor gave him a cortisone shot, said, you're good to go.
- [55:33]
B
That's a crazy like thing to give.
- [55:36]
A
Right? And so, so Hollywood. The headache was coming from a blain brain bleed that led to a stroke. A sister was told that. What we didn't find where it was coming from. But he's having a stroke. He may be able to make a full recovery, but it's going to be the worst year of his life. He talks about, like, being in surgery, how he didn't see the light during his procedure, but he remembered feeling oddly peaceful in a tunnel. However, he joked, it was hot in that tunnel. Am I going in the wrong place in this motherfucker? Because I looked at the end of the tunnel and I thought I saw the devil. Like, come on.
- [56:06]
B
That's so funny, by the way, because.
- [56:08]
A
This is also a comedy special, right?
- [56:10]
B
No. And everybody, like, who does comedy, like, talks about the same couple of things, but very few people have actually experienced, like, a near death. And this is a good fodder. Am I the only one who didn't know Jamie Foxx did stand up? Like, I knew he acted, and I knew he did comedy acting.
- [56:23]
A
Yeah. No, you weren't alone. When I saw he had this special, I literally had to, like, go back. Like, is this comedy?
- [56:29]
B
Yeah, I guess so many people who are, like, famous actors of today, funny actors, got their start doing stand up. Maybe they left it behind. Like, the Jerry Seinfeld of the world never stopped doing stand up. Some people do, like, they. It's kind of a means to an end for them. So. I don't know that I knew this.
- [56:44]
A
Yeah, me neither. And it's. It is a good way to talk about the thing. What had happened. Yeah, that everyone was talking about that. I don't think there's any way for him to, like, explain it concisely because it's such a big thing. And then the recovery. So he woke up, he was in a wheelchair. He was like, why the fuck am I in a wheelchair? I'm just coming out of shit. He said he thought the whole thing was, like, a prank, but it took him, like, months to recuperate, come out of the hospital, like, get his physical abilities back. So it's just been a real big journey for him, and he's talking about it in this special.
- [57:14]
B
I like that. I really like Jamie Foxx. Like, I endear Tim so deeply because of Dream Girls. Like, he was just my favorite. And I feel like we're in this time. Weird time in Hollywood.
- [57:25]
A
And he's also a singer.
- [57:27]
B
Yes, I knew that.
- [57:29]
A
I'm endeared to him from Annie.
- [57:31]
B
Oh, tracks. Well, I feel like we're at this place in culture where we're looking at, like, these really OG Hollywood people. Like, we're looking at them a little suspiciously. Right. Everyone I see, like, I just saw these pictures of Ashton Kutcher. Like, he had stage paparazzi of him giving a hundred dollars to a valet, like, tip. Did you see? And, like, the hundred was, like, literally pointed toward the camera. Everybody is on some sort of, like, PR mission with the Diddy stuff. And so I am looking at everybody quite suspiciously, and I just. In my mind, Jamie Foxx is safe.
- [58:04]
A
Jamie Foxx passes muster.
- [58:06]
B
I think I do. Like, I think he's, like, a real family man. And so I just hope, you know, we have to, like, we have to put out, like, who we want to protect.
- [58:15]
A
Also beat Shazam. Like, Loki have so much in common. Oh, with Jamie.
- [58:18]
B
Shazam. No, also, Jamie Foxx, like, really makes content for us.
- [58:22]
A
Yeah. No, we have, like, a lot of similar interests. Like, not a lot of people would be in a show about the app Shazam. For me, that's my favorite app.
- [58:30]
B
He's also, now that I think about it, like, really always maintained a level of, like, family friendliness in all of his content, which I now appreciate, like, realizing it.
- [58:37]
A
Yeah.
- [58:39]
B
So please, like, don't. Please don't send me any articles of him at a dinner party. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [58:44]
A
Now I'm, like, googling him. I'm like, yeah. Let me just make sure.
- [58:49]
B
Did you see those Ashton Kutcher pictures?
- [58:50]
A
No, I didn't. That's really funny. Wait, let me go.
- [58:52]
B
It was really lame. Like, Kutcher. Like, the way the hundred dollars was pointed.
- [58:57]
A
Ashton Kutcher proves he's a big tipper by slipping. Oh, and then.
- [59:01]
B
Yeah. And then put it on the PR wire and sent it out to a bunch of different outlets.
- [59:05]
A
Oh, wow. Who gives a hundred? Like, who tips like that with the whole bill flapping in the wind?
- [59:10]
B
That's the thing. Most people. You scrunch it up. Yeah. It's a subtle thing, but Jackie, there was a paparazzi.
- [59:15]
A
Oh, my God. That is really funny.
- [59:18]
B
So I just feel like some bad stuff is coming out about Ashton Kutcher. Like, I thought that was a preemptive strike.
- [59:22]
A
That is funny. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
- [59:27]
B
Yeah.
- [59:27]
A
We're getting some more info about Netflix's big Christmas Day football. Yes.
- [59:34]
B
Is it about their tech and their ability to withstand millions of people on their platform at once?
- [59:38]
A
No, it's about their on air talent that they've tapped in, including comedians Nate Bargain, Bert Kreischer.
- [59:46]
B
Oh, so they're copying prime what they did with Nikki Glaser.
- [59:49]
A
Yep. Netflix has drafted its on air talent roster for NFL Christmas game day, which will broadcast live from Pittsburgh, Houston, and la. Broadcasters will Include father and son Ian and Noah Eagle, J.J. watt, and brothers Devin and Jason McCourty. The McCourty brothers. The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Steelers. Lurd will be on Netflix.
- [60:10]
B
The Lurd will be.
- [60:12]
A
The Chiefs are playing.
- [60:13]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [60:14]
A
So Taylor will be on Netflix. Maybe they'll give us, like, a take cam.
- [60:16]
B
Hopefully we'll be able to see it.
- [60:18]
A
And the Baltimore Ravens will play against the Texans. Netflix is set to kick off their Christmas game day in studio with a bunch of analysts, including Jason Kelsey, Manti, Teo. See, I'm getting the Netflix money. Thank you.
- [60:36]
B
I feel like they're really limited in who they can bring on air because every major athlete talking head broadcaster has an ironclad agreement with Fox, with espn. So, like, these are all people without contracts, and that doesn't leave, you know, the cream of the crop. Although J.J. watt, like, is, like, a full CBS something, so I don't know how he got in there. He must have, like, a loophole in his contract.
- [60:55]
A
I am turning on every TV in my house, putting it on mute, and letting it streams to support Manta having.
- [61:01]
B
Money in Man Titeo's pocket.
- [61:03]
A
Yeah. And I just. I need Netflix to know, like, this is. This is for Manta. This one's fermentai.
- [61:08]
B
This one's ferment.
- [61:10]
A
So then comedian Bert Kreischer and podcaster will join as a tailgate correspondent. And comedian Nate Bargaits, he joins as a special guest. So it'll be a little funny, too.
- [61:20]
B
Yeah. I mean, could they throw one girl in there? Like, girls do? Like, especially with everyone watching for Taylor, like, give us something. Like, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with any of these people, but, like, they're not for me, you know?
- [61:31]
A
Yeah, there are, like, some female sports casters who will be there.
- [61:38]
B
No, let me tell you why I'm so funny.
- [61:40]
A
Because you're talking. No, no, no.
- [61:44]
B
I actually wasn't talking about it.
- [61:45]
A
I don't want to wear Christmas.
- [61:47]
B
I'm over here being like, I want a woman. And let me tell you, during the Mike Tyson Netflix thing, I could not stop talking and texting and, like, being like, why the hell is Rosie Perez. I actually still don't understand why Rosie Perez was one of the MCs on the Netflix. Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight, like, former, you know, host of the View, former actress. Like, I guess she really likes the fight. Like, she's like, it's like, an interest of her as UFC or whatever. I. I thought it was so weird. Like, I actually have not stopped thinking about it since.
- [62:16]
A
And actually I think we should protect our women by not putting them forward for this. Because, like, I feel like for Bert Kreischer and Nate Bar Gates, he, like, no one's going to question why they're there and whether they do a good or bad job, it's not going to be a referendum on them. But if there is like a woman who's not talking about sports, like, literally her life would be ruined. And like her.
- [62:32]
B
I know.
- [62:33]
A
And like, we need to protect the women.
- [62:35]
B
Don't.
- [62:35]
A
Do not go.
- [62:36]
B
But a lot of people are tuning in for Beyonce, right?
- [62:39]
A
She's the halftime performer at the Houston game. Houston versus Ravens. Yes. So I wonder who's performing for the Chiefs game.
- [62:49]
B
I feel like nobody if they haven't announced it.
- [62:51]
A
You don't think Lurd.
- [62:53]
B
No, I don't. Although she does, like, definitely have like. No, she's a Disney girl. That's like her new contract, like, reputation was on Netflix, but then Lily Pond Studios and Eras were on Disney plus and Hulu.
- [63:07]
A
I'm just saying, like, if they need last minute talent, like, you do have a singer in the audience.
- [63:12]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to do an acoustic set.
- [63:15]
A
This will be fun. We'll be together. I like the idea of just like turning on Netflix for the day if it works.
- [63:21]
B
Like, seriously, they have not answered us. They have dropped the ball. They have, I think four times now, really invested in like a major live streamed event, Chris Rock special, which I don't think like broke the Internet to the point where they had any issues. But then the Love Is Blind reunion that they did live, where everybody was tuning in did not work for anybody. I couldn't watch Pat, Mike Tyson, Jake Paul. This is now the fourth and they absolutely have to get together. Half the people couldn't even watch Mike Tyson.
- [63:49]
A
I could not watch. I now also, I wasn't once they said I, like, I literally couldn't turn it back on. I wasn't like that mad because I was tired and the fight wasn't going to be on forever. But like, even if I wanted to and I was mad, I could not watch.
- [64:02]
B
So what is their plan for that? I would love to hear a press release on that. We've hired new engineers. We bought more cords. Yeah.
- [64:11]
A
Yeah, we bought more quartz.
- [64:13]
B
Like maybe they needed an extra charger today. Maybe.
- [64:15]
A
Maybe we need assistant. Plug it and plug it back in.
- [64:18]
B
A quick hard reset. I would have. I would like an update on that before I get all excited about seeing Beyonce and Taylor.
- [64:25]
A
Agreed. But I like where they're headed with this little comedy, little podcasting, little schmooze, little Christmas.
- [64:33]
B
Yeah, it's done.
- [64:34]
A
Well, guys, the first night of Hanukkah is on Christmas, which never happens for us.
- [64:38]
B
Okay, wait, so that means Hannah is.
- [64:40]
A
Going into January, but let's not talk about that.
- [64:41]
B
Weird. Jackie officially started our family Secret Santa. She took the initiative and did the elf star. Emailed everybody there, their people. Now, me and Ben did not share, did you?
- [64:52]
A
Because we got reamed out last year for sure. Came in and he wanted to tell me who he got, and I was like, no.
- [64:58]
B
So without, like, telling me, obviously, like, give me your reaction to who you got.
- [65:04]
A
I'm very excited, even though there's no one that I would be, like, dreading, because I think we're all really fun and we know each other so well and we can have so much fun with it. But, like, I feel like the potential is limitless for what I can do.
- [65:15]
B
Okay. And this was my reaction to mine. I was like, hmm, hmm. Do you know what I mean?
- [65:21]
A
I do know what you mean, but where do you think you'll be heading to shop?
- [65:26]
B
Probably Amazon, if I had to guess. And Amazon is the sponsor of Dear Toasters. They heard that everybody in the actual universe is talking about your toasters, and they said, we want to sponsor Dear Toasters. So this morning, it really hit us. There's only two weeks left till the start of Hanukkah and Christmas, and there's still so much left for us to do. It can really start the spiral. Especially, like, now I have this new responsibility of Secret Santa for my person. Like, what is the Jewish Secret Santa called?
- [65:49]
A
Mystery Maccabee Hate.
- [65:52]
B
Okay, Secret Santa, I have a lot to do. And, like, my Christmas plans are now firming up, and I'm getting a little bit nervous. But then I remembered I'm an Amazon sorely prime member for life, and I can get everything that I need without leaving my bed. Now, of course, you have a ton of options when it comes to shopping online, but especially in the holiday season with things being so delayed, like, shipping is a nightmare. The one thing you can count on in this world is death, taxes, and Amazon arriving on time. Maybe even early.
- [66:17]
A
Maybe even early.
- [66:19]
B
So they have incredible holiday deals. So if you're looking for, like, big ticket items that you might not shop until they're on sale. Like, for me, like, certain vacuums, certain hair tools, I won't buy until they're on sale. And Amazon has great holiday deals across a wide selection of brands that you know and love. And some of them are at their lowest prices of the year. Plus, if you have a Prime membership, you're getting that unlimited free shipping, including millions of products with same day and what on day delivery. So there's no need to stress about last minute shopping. Let me tell you. I'm at Jackie's house and I ordered something on Amazon and it arrived that day. That's really great.
- [66:52]
A
Yeah. Now that's customer service.
- [66:55]
B
For even more savings, check out Amazon hall, which has fashion, home, lifestyle, electronics, all at just $20 or less, with the majority of items priced under $10, some as low as just $1. Just make sure to order in time. Since Amazon hall has typically delivery in one to two weeks. They also been using AI at Amazon as like a shopping assistant called Rufus. Like very Gossip Girl coded. It's a real game changer for finding Hanukkah gifts for any hardship for family members. You just tap the Rufus icon, which looks like a little chat bubble with sparkles. It's in the navigation bar or at the bottom of the screen in the Amazon app. And it can help you discover unique gifts tailored to your needs.
- [67:26]
A
Or if you're shopping for someone like Secret Santa, someone that you like, don't really know what to get, like, put in, let AI do the legwork.
- [67:33]
B
Oh, like this person loves.
- [67:35]
A
I don't want to give away who I got, but this person loves dogs. Hypothetically, theater.
- [67:41]
B
We all love theater.
- [67:43]
A
You know, like you can really get creative. Let AI work its AI magic with Rufus.
- [67:49]
B
And of course, like, if you're shopping the deals, it's important to get things for yourself. Like, I feel like I've recently, like, while I'm shopping for people, I've gotten a couple of things on Amazon that I have been waiting to get. Like a Dyson vacuum. I got such a great deal on it. They had great Black Friday, Cyber Monday and all throughout the rest of the year. They have amazing deals. So make sure to monitor that deals page because you shouldn't be paying full price, like ever.
- [68:10]
A
Also, when in doubt, get a Kindle.
- [68:13]
B
Oh. I mean the Amazon branded products like their own fire stick Kindle. They have the Blank. I have like the Alexa's. Oh, the Blink. Yeah, it's premium. And those Amazon products, they have the best deals during the holiday. So visit Amazon Amazon.comholiday to start shopping today. That's Amazon.comholiday all right, Jacks, are you ready for our dear toasters Kind of the segment on everybody's lips.
- [68:36]
A
Yeah, I'm worried, I'm nervous and I'm anxious. Let's just rip off the bandaid.
- [68:40]
B
So Dear Toasters is our weekly advice segment where Jackie and I do our absolute best to help the swirlies in need. They write to us and we, you know, give back to the community. It's our way of doing a little philanthropy weekly. And if you ever want to write in, send us an email dear toasters gmail.com or you can also head over to our website, the toast podcast.com. scroll down a little bit. There's a submission box that's completely anonymous. Both ways are anonymous. We'll never blow your shit up. We're just here to help. Okay, Turt and Jerk. I'm a longtime listener and first time writer and I have a very weird dilemma. I spent this Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family for the first time ever. We've been together for six months and it's going really well. But while we were saying what we're thankful for, he said he was thankful that I'm on Ozempic and I'm on my weight loss journey. I told him afterward that it made me uncomfortable, especially since this was my first time meeting his extended family and they don't need to know I'm on a GLP1 medication. But he said I was overreacting because he meant it in a good way that I'm getting healthier and if I'm ashamed of that, that it's my own problem, I've brought it up a few times since then and he will not apologize. Am I being crazy? What can I say to make him understand?
- [69:41]
A
Oh my goodness, that is so bad. I didn't even think like about the fact that now they know you're on Ozempic. But it's like that's what he's thankful for. Like he doesn't like love you as you are. And of course you know, if you're getting more such as excited, but like that's what you're going to say in front of your family as what you're thankful for.
- [69:57]
B
To be honest, if you had said that about your own journey, albeit a little oversharing with new family, that's totally understandable to be so excited about your partner's weight loss. Like that's red flag central. Like I, I hate. Also, Ozempic is so personal. Most people don't share that. They're on it. Not everybody's like me, like spreading their legs, like it's personal. I think for me, like, I found it really embarrassing in the beginning, so I was like, I would rather die than admit that I'm on it. It's like, oh, my God, stop eating. You have to take a shot every week. Like, I felt so embarrassed by it that, like, if anybody. Oh, my God.
- [70:30]
A
But this, like, to me, that's, like, the second offense because the first one being, like, you're literally saying you don't like me, like, as I am, and you're saying it in front of other people, which is just more embarrassing now. Like, sometimes men really say the stupidest things. And, like, it isn't until, like, a lot of conversation that they understand what they did was wrong. So, like, I do want to help you get to a path if your relationship is, like, otherwise, great. Like, I don't want to hit break up with your boyfriend because, you know, it's hard to find a good guy.
- [70:55]
B
It's so true in this economy. Like, we can't be so picky.
- [70:57]
A
Like, I try. I want to find a path for him to understand, like, for it to click for him. And he's like, oh, fudge, I fucked up. It sounds like you've been telling him. Yeah, but why is it resonating for him?
- [71:09]
B
This is the he. This is the craziest part, is that when she confronted him, he said, if I'm ashamed of it, then that's my own problem. Like, yeah. That's so mean.
- [71:19]
A
Yeah. No, it's not good. We need to get him to understand. Like, if someone at our Thanksgiving table, like, when you're dating, it's like, someone's boyfriend had said this.
- [71:27]
B
Like, oh, yeah, dating. Like, now we're all, like, married. We make fun of each other and, like, our weight. Everybody's.
- [71:31]
A
Yeah, Like, I cook for Thanksgiving. Nobody eats it.
- [71:33]
B
It's so. No, it is. Like, it's funny now, but, like, when.
- [71:36]
A
We were, like, say we were dating, say, like, you were dating Ben, and he said that. Like, would I tell you to break up with him?
- [71:43]
B
Yeah. Especially the difference is that Ben is also on Ozempics. Like, we're in the same boat, but, like, this guy's not. So, like, he definitely feels like he's coming from a place of moral superiority and, like, to blow you up your spot. Like, I'm sorry. I'm struggling not to press the button.
- [71:58]
A
No, here's what I'm gonna say. You need to invalid. And this is what I'll say instead of ever pressing the button, like, you need to evaluate the rest of the relationship. Like, if it seriously is a perfect relationship, this is a dream man. And, like, this is the like, then we'll work to make him understand, like, and work towards a path to forgiveness. But, like, now you need to. Is this the right relationship for you? Because this is a serious red flag.
- [72:20]
B
I just don't think it's possible for it to be a perfect relationship.
- [72:22]
A
But, like, say it was Ben who did it at our Thanksgiving table. Like, you could see him. Like, you could see a person making a mistake saying something so stupid. But the rest of your relationship isn't worth throwing out the window for a bad moment.
- [72:34]
B
No, because if I confronted Ben and said, like, something you said really embarrassed me. Even if. And I feel like we've had a conversation like this before, and even if he disagreed with it, he would feel badly for making me feel embarrassed. So there's. So this can't be a perfect relationship one, because, yeah, everybody makes mistakes, but his reaction afterwards makes me think that he doesn't see it as a mistake. And so you can't be a perfect partner, husband, father of your children. If you're happy to air your wife's dirty laundry, girlfriend embarrass her, be okay with it and not hear her out when she speaks to you.
- [73:03]
A
Yeah, I think a break to start. Maybe a break will make him see.
- [73:09]
B
Yeah, hate your boyfriend. Sorry.
- [73:12]
A
Yeah, but, like, you should be like that. The person that I want to be with, like, would protect me, would never embarrass me. And even if they. People slip up and say the wrong thing sometimes. But then when I come to you and tell you how I feel, that you would, like, still not apologize or under attempt to acknowledge any wrongdoing. How I feel like that's not a partner. And I don't think this is the right relationship. Like, maybe risk it all, but you better be willing to walk.
- [73:36]
B
It's so true. Because if you're all talk, no action, you lose all your power then.
- [73:39]
A
Oh, the next time this happens, he'll say worse. He's like, she doesn't give a shit.
- [73:43]
B
Our next submission is our fault, and so we have to be extra helpful. Okay. Hey, girly swirly.
- [73:48]
A
Told someone to break up with their boyfriend.
- [73:49]
B
No, no, no. I've recently started dating this guy. It's been about three months. Not official yet, but everything so part so far has been really great, and I really like him. Last night, as he was leaving my apartment, we kissed him without thinking. I said, love you, bye in Jackie's voice. I immediately followed up with, oh, it's a toast reference. You wouldn't get it. To which he responded, the toast. His Uber was here and he was rushing out so we couldn't discuss it further. But now my head is spinning, wondering if he thinks I said love you. Do I bring it up again to try and explain? Do I completely ignore it and hope it never comes up? Please help. You have to listen to an episode of the Toast with him.
- [74:19]
A
Yeah, I'm glad that you addressed it in the moment, because now it's like, if he does want to go looking, like, he could find.
- [74:24]
B
You're not lying.
- [74:25]
A
You're not lying. So I also. This is what I'm going to do to help you. Like, I feel like you need to have the toes playing in the background so that he can hear that that's how we talk. And right now we're going to stage a clip for you to play so that he knows that this is how we talk. Okay. So we're just going to, like, use a lot of love you by. Okay. Are you ready?
- [74:42]
B
I'm ready. Action.
- [74:43]
A
Claude, this has been such a fun episode with you. I just absolutely. I love podcasting with you so much, but I have to bid you ado. Oh, love you. Bye.
- [74:55]
B
Love you, bye.
- [74:56]
A
No, I love ya. Bye.
- [74:58]
B
Oh, my God. Nobody loves ya bye more than me.
- [75:02]
A
Love you, bye.
- [75:04]
B
The thing is, if you did say it with, like, a weird intonation in your voice, like, you were clearly, like, not rehearsing. What's the word I'm looking for? Like, copying. Imitating. Imitating. You were clearly imitating some, like, reference. You're totally fine. Also, I don't think this man thinks you love him. Like, you are, like, not even boyfriend and girlfriend. Like, you're. It's not like you said it prematurely. Like, five months in, like, you're totally fine. Just play the podcast for him and you can either bring it up again or, like, I think the more natural sort of, like, very subtle playing the podcast is the best move.
- [75:36]
A
Yeah. Maybe he hears you on the phone to a girlfriend. Like, love you, bye. Like, it's just, like, it's just what.
- [75:40]
B
We say it to waiters, to the mailman, to the waiter, everyone. The teacher, everyone.
- [75:47]
A
Yeah, yeah, I think it's fine. Don't, like, mention it. Don't address it. Just keep on with your relationship. And then also do this work in the background.
- [75:57]
B
Yes, yes. You have to put in the work now.
- [75:59]
A
Yeah, it's time to work.
- [76:00]
B
And we're sorry. And we're sorry. Sorry. Everything we say is so catchy.
- [76:03]
A
And filled with love.
- [76:05]
B
Sorry. Or you could actually just play him this submission.
- [76:07]
A
It's. So we are corroborating your story early in the relationship.
- [76:11]
B
Like, for her to be writing into.
- [76:12]
A
Her favorite podcast about it and, like, for. For us to be being honest. Don't you find?
- [76:20]
B
Yeah, it's definitely yes. But. But it's good to be honest when you truly have nothing to hide.
- [76:25]
A
I know, but, like, you don't have to. You're still, like, holding your cards to your chest. Like, we're still playing the game here. Play on, my friend. Are you ready for a third and final day? When you're married with children? You can play this episode for him.
- [76:38]
B
Oh, yeah. Yeah. When you guys are on your deathbeds.
- [76:41]
A
I'm ready for the third.
- [76:43]
B
Hey, Jackson. Claude. I desperately need your advice about something disturbing I found on my husband's laptop. To be clear, I was not snooping. I was on his laptop filling out insurance forms. I left my computer at work. When I started the forms, I just wanted to copy and paste a picture. So I hit Control C to copy, and then when I hit paste, I did not properly copy my picture because instead it pasted some text that I did not write and that I assumed was written by my husband. The last time I used the laptop, the text that appeared before my very eyes was, quote, angry pegging. Do you know what that is, Jacks? Pegging.
- [77:13]
A
Yeah, like with an inanimate object. Yeah, I've seen the bold type.
- [77:18]
B
It's actually. It's adamant object.
- [77:20]
A
Inanimate.
- [77:21]
B
I thought inanimate is like invisible.
- [77:25]
A
Inanimate is like fake. Well, no. No object is a thing that is not alive, such as a chair, a book, or a rock.
- [77:37]
B
Oh, yes.
- [77:38]
A
Yeah.
- [77:38]
B
Inanimate object. Yeah. Okay. At first I laughed it off to myself, thinking it was some silly random words, but then the wheels started turning. He must have been searching for this phrase while watching porn. Now, I'm not a prude, but this is kind of ick, right? I mean, I had no idea that he was even into that sort of thing. We have never done butt stuff other than, you know, a light touch. And the angry. The visuals are really disturbing me. I'm completely kerfuffled. What makes me even more disturbed is that now I'm thinking about our sex life. It's been very vanilla the last year. And so to be honest, he doesn't finish, like, 25% of the time. Is this all related? Is it because our sex is not intense enough for him? Do I say something? Do I Ignore it forever. How do I have sex with this man ever again without him thinking of the phrase angry Peggy.
- [78:14]
A
Okay, well, I didn't even think that. He's, like, copy and pasting it into, you know, porn sites. Because it's, like, not that much to type.
- [78:20]
B
Yeah, no, that's the only flaw in the story. Why would you have that copy?
- [78:23]
A
Like, are you that lazy?
- [78:25]
B
Lazy, maybe.
- [78:26]
A
Maybe. But I think that you could have, like, a bit of a state of the union about your sex life. Like, don't mention the angry pegging, but just be like, we've been together. I don't know if she said how long. That's her husband.
- [78:38]
B
Yes, it was her husband, but she doesn't say how long they've been together.
- [78:41]
A
Just find a way to. Or you can do it without a conversation. Some people don't like to talk about these things, which I get, too. But you can't just, like, bring something new into the bedroom. Because then it's like, where have you been?
- [78:49]
B
Who are you sleeping with? Yeah, Jackie's right, though. Like, I feel like in a marriage, like, it's okay to have, like, a referendum on sex life. Like, it can get boring. Like, we get busy. So being like. I feel like we've lost a little bit of our spice. Like, what should we do?
- [79:00]
A
Like, like, what?
- [79:01]
B
Give it. Put the ball in his court, See if he brings it up.
- [79:04]
A
Yeah, but, like, do it in, like, a non, like, attacking just, like, in a. Like.
- [79:08]
B
And not just we're here to have.
- [79:09]
A
Fun sort of way.
- [79:11]
B
Yeah, I understand why your tone in this steer toasters, it's, like, a little, you know, questionable, but it's important that you go into the conversation, like, totally open and accepting. Because, like, if somebody opens up about, like, a sexual fantasy and you're being like, oh, icky, that's gross. Like, you are going to shame them into, like, into hiding for the rest of their lives. Like, it's actually very triggering. It's called kink shaming, I believe. So if you're going to have this conversation, you have to be open to, like, him maybe bringing this up. If you're not open to ever doing this with your husband, don't ask.
- [79:38]
A
Don't ask questions you don't want answers.
- [79:40]
B
To because he's going to bring it up. You're going to say no, and then it's like we're at a standstill where he feels embarrassed, you feel grossed out. Like, so if you're open to. If you're open to exploring, have the conversation. If you're not. Then you have a piece of information that you can do nothing with.
- [79:54]
A
But there also are, like, ways to spice it up without it having to be angry pegging. Like, maybe, like, that's just, like, what he wants to watch. But, like, there are things you could do along the way. It's. It's. It's a destination. It's not the journey.
- [80:04]
B
There's a journey to angry pegging.
- [80:05]
A
Yeah.
- [80:06]
B
The yellow brick road, if you will.
- [80:08]
A
Right. So I feel like, yeah, we could. We could talk about some inanimate things.
- [80:14]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go shopping. Or we could do it for the privacy of our own home.
- [80:18]
A
Yeah. Amazon, they have everything. I'm sending holiday gift under the tree.
- [80:23]
B
No, they do. Oh, well, you also could do that. Just surprise him being like, let's not do that. I read your mind.
- [80:29]
A
I read you. Because what if it was, like, a friend?
- [80:33]
B
Or what if they're also. That's why you have to handle this, because there is a very small percentage. Like, he lent the laptop to someone.
- [80:39]
A
You know, it's just, like, not what you think. Like, maybe he copied that phrase from Summer because he, like, thought it was fun. Like, just.
- [80:44]
B
No, no. Maybe he was, like, reading it on something and didn't know what it meant, so we copied it and Googled it, literally.
- [80:50]
A
So there's always that. But you did say the 25% of the time that it's not, you know, a success. So there's room for condo or a little bit of judging here.
- [81:01]
B
1,000%. 1,000%. So have a. Have an open and honest conversation if you are open, if you are. That's a huge part here.
- [81:09]
A
But there's a. There's a lot. You know, it's a spectrum. So of course.
- [81:13]
B
Of course you get to get started. You can start small. Maybe you'll like it so much, you know, maybe you become, like, the angriest pegger there ever was. I would really like to thank everybody for writing into us today and all days, for being open and honest and vulnerable with us, hopefully. I actually think we provided really helpful advice this week. Some weeks we just, like, laugh and don't give the best advice, actually.
- [81:34]
A
That you're wrong.
- [81:36]
B
Right. And that you need to control and.
- [81:38]
A
Like, you need to.
- [81:40]
B
We left the girls in a really good spot today.
- [81:42]
A
I think so, too.
- [81:43]
B
And that feels right.
- [81:44]
A
That feels right.
- [81:46]
B
