A
Good morning, millennials.
B
Welcome back to the toast and Happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a gorgeous, glorious day. And speaking of gardens and glorious, it's my gorgeous and glorious friend and sister in Christ, Jackie O.
A
Thank you, Lauter. What a beautiful introduction. Happy Tuesday to all who celebrate the day of the twos.
B
Are there those who don't?
A
I feel like there are those who don't. Do you think there are people who live off the like, who. Because days kind of the week are kind of like a social construct? Very much so. Are there people don't adhere to the days of the week? Days of the week, for sure.
B
I mean, there are people who, like, don't adhere to, like, a lot of random things, you know, so days of the week. Sure.
A
And just like, there are other, like, calendars and other cultures. Like, maybe today isn't Tuesday for everyone. Well, actually, think of that.
B
It's not in. In Israel, it's yum shlishly she.
A
Oh, well, they're also a day foe.
B
Right. And they only take off Sunday. So yeah, it's yumshishly in in Israel. So, yeah, I guess not everyone is dealing, like, with the time space continuum that we are currently dealing with. But I feel to the major constituents who listen to this show who live in America and abide by the calendar. Yes, yes, they are.
A
Just want to say you don't want to leave anyone out Clawd.
B
So I've kind of put my foot in it this morning. I don't know if I totally forgot to tell you this already. Yeah.
A
So early.
B
Well, I had to wake up early. I had some content to film and I was just like, getting a head start on my day. And I was eating breakfast and then this thought came to me because I'm, like, getting really tired of these pregnant bitches coming for my neck. And I just told. I, like, I told them what they needed here. And actually you are in what would be like the injured party because you have been pregnant with a toddler. Like, I'm just so tired of, like, I'm making, like, I'm obviously talking about my pregnancy because, like, that's what I'm dealing with. And people being like, I just imagine doing this with a toddler. It's like, we get it. We know, we know it's harder. No one is arguing with you. We feel bad for you. Like, literally we would never want to be you. Like, we get it, but, like, it's so annoying to infringe on someone else's suffering. Like, because you are suffering more. We get It. So I made a TikTok this morning.
A
So crazy. And technically I'm in injury party. But I would never say that to you, let alone think that, like, no.
B
I suffer like Olympics it is.
A
But also like, as you have children, like, your level of what you can withstand just like grows. You just become like stronger inside and out. And in some ways, like doing it the first time is the hardest. So I'm not with those people and I would never say that to you.
B
No, it's just like no one's really even arguing the point. It's definitely harder to have to like chase around a toddler and you can't just like rot in bed when you don't feel good. Like, I get it, but it's so fucking annoying to say. And like, I'm tired of these bitches. And like, it did cross my mind when I like first started feeling sick. I'm like, oh my God. Like this is probably like, you know, the only pregnancy that I'm going to have without a child. Like, oh my God. So we all, we feel bad. Like we get it, we're not disagreeing with you, but like, it's annoying. Shut up. So I made a TikTok about it today.
A
I didn't know they were coming for you. That's really crazy.
B
No, it's just this thing that like pregnant in chronic, the chronically online pregnant community, it's every comment section. Just wait till you have a toddler running around. Just wait till you chasing after like. I know it sounds literally horrible.
A
So I guess I also like can't really speak to it because I was on bed rest.
B
Yeah, Slay life. Then I was thinking about you because I feel like when you got pregnant was around the time like Harry wasn't like a toddler yet. He was not like walking, was he?
A
No, he was not walking.
B
Right. So it's like seriously not your problem. It's the problem of the person who's carrying him. And because you're pregnant, you can't physically carry him. That's the life hack. Get pregnant while you're first is still crawling.
A
Yeah, that's something. But then you always do have to carry them. But then at a certain point I couldn't carry him.
B
Right. So I just like was starting stuff before Tick Tock gets banned. Like wanna, you know, make waves and, and start stuff.
A
Oh yeah. Countdown to TikTok. Do you hear the rumors that Elon might buy TikTok?
B
But then I also hear that anywhere.
A
Oh, I heard light whispers that like Elon's Gonna buy Tick Tock or thinking about it. And then I also saw that that is not true. So I don't know.
B
Control?
A
No, like if. If that's true whatsoever.
B
I have now seen a couple, like very wealthy people discuss it. Kevin O'Leary, allegedly, Elon Musk, Mr. Beast was talking about it. Like, what if they all just work together?
A
Yeah, I would like that.
B
The thing is, and I heard this at the Supreme Court hearing, is like, even if somebody buys it, the data center, like, something about like the actual technology of the company cannot be unlinked from bite, which is the Chinese owned company. And like, therein lies the issue. They like, almost can't even sell it because it's. I forget what the word is.
A
Strictly.
B
Yeah. I forget what part of the company. It's like. It's data centers. It's something cannot be unwoven.
A
Interesting. So complicated. So glad it's not my job to.
B
Deal with such a global issue.
A
Yeah. I don't have answers for you. I mean, I do, like, get off Tick Tock, but I know that's not. That's not gonna work for everyone. But. Yeah. Glad that I don't have to sort out this mess.
B
Yeah. Because I have like, a lot going on in my life. Granted, I don't have a toddler, but I have a lot. What's with you?
A
Not too much. Busy morning so far this morning. We are out and about early, so I'm just sort of sat now with my girl.
B
Nothing better.
A
Ready for some adult convo.
B
Oh, are we going to be talking about pornography?
A
No, but actually I went to an event last night. I told you. You tried to call me.
B
Oh, my God. I called Jackie like I always do and she's like, can't talk at an event. Excuse me, what event were you at PTA meeting.
A
I was. No, I was at an event. It was. It was really like a women's event.
B
Oh, Women in tech.
A
The theme was the theme. And maybe I could bring some of my learnings to. To the toast today because it was all about manifesting. Oh my God, in earnest, in like a very spiritual way about, like, manifesting the things that you want in your life. And I'm not a big manifester. I think anyone who listens to the show would know that about me. I'm kind of like the opposite. So I was really trying to be open minded and understand what manifesting not online, but in its origins actually means.
B
Now before you get into what you learned, I need to know more about the context. Like you. You need to give me more information on the, like, the details of this class. Was it a class? It.
A
I guess you could call it. It wasn't a class restaurant. No, it wasn't a Torah class, but it was. It's. I think the women who run are like very into Kabbalah. So it was.
B
Okay. Okay.
A
And, and like God was in the room, you know, they were like the universe slash God, whatever you believe. But like these are women of faith, correct? Yeah, yeah. So it wasn't like an agnostic event.
B
I can't believe like you are saying these words like.
A
I know, I know. But a friend of mine, you actually, whom you know, I'm not going to start like dropping names, but a friend of mine from this summer, she was coming in for this event, so she was like, come. And then Olivia was like, oh, I'm going to that. I didn't think you would want to go.
B
Olivia was going.
A
Olivia was already going. She's so I was.
B
She is less universe manifest spirit than you.
A
She kind of is, though. She's kind of is.
B
No, I could see her thinking, it's like so stupid.
A
No, no, no, she. No, she's not. And she's been to like this event before. So she was going. And then my friend was going, so I was like, okay, of course I'll go. And it's all, it was all about manifesting. So I really was just trying to learn because I, I think of manifesting as like influencers, like printing out pictures on Pinterest and like putting it on their vision board and calling it a day. Yeah, but the original intention for manifesting, it's. It's much more than that. And it's a lot about like positive affirmation, affirmations and like self talk. And like there's a lot of steps towards manifesting, all in which joining the 12 step program, it was like five or six steps and it's like, yeah, if you could do all those steps, like you would be like a totally mentally healthy person. And probably.
B
Yeah, but if I could do all those things that you want, I wouldn't be at this class.
A
Like the steps are like not as easy as just steps, you know. So it was very interesting and I'm thinking, I really am thinking. And also there was also like a bit of meditation because when you are manifesting and you're going into your soul, you're trying to think about like the things that you truly desire. So it's a very relaxing exercise, actually.
B
I like, what do you truly desire?
A
Well, I'm not going to share that with everyone.
B
Oh, really?
A
It's very personal. Yeah. They brought out like these big, like poster boards. I'm like, we're not about to write down like our heart's desires, are we?
B
Oh, I guess. Yeah. It is, like, personal.
A
I gave mine away. I was like, I'll write in my notebook. Thanks.
B
Did you break.
A
I. Did you byo the thing is, they gave notebooks to everyone, so it's so my kind.
B
So it was like, worth it.
A
It was worth it for the free notebook. So it's nice to think about as we go into the new year. Like what you want to manifest yourself in the first three months, six months, 12 months. And the 12 month goal should be something that seems so far fetched, you know, but like the three and six months are the steps to get there.
B
Wow. I'm just, I'm in shock. Honestly. This conversation and like this new line of thinking, like, does feel like a betrayal.
A
No, I'm not saying this. Like it's. It's nice to think differently for an evening, you know. Sure. Get in touch with your true self.
B
Sure.
A
You should try it Turdy once.
B
I agree. And understand I don't think this is like specific to like spirituality that like, you get out what you put in. Right. So if you like walk through the world with a fabiss and a put them and a terrible energy and attitude, like, that's what you're going to receive.
A
Yeah.
B
And if you're like a joyful, positive person and you put out positive things in laughter and light, that will come back to you. You get out what you put in. So I don't know if that's like a revolutionary, like, philosophy, but I agree with it. Yes.
A
Yeah, that's part of it. You know, putting out the good vibes, which is always a good lesson.
B
Yeah. Okay. Wow. Took a turn this morning.
A
Well, that's what I was up to. What can I say? Manifesting manifest destiny.
B
Oh, my God. Me and Ben watched the funniest episode of Curb last night. Like, we just like, are on a curb kick. It's like the one thing we can agree on. Just like play in the background. And they charter a plane to go to a wedding and the pilot needs everybody's weights and nobody will give it.
A
Yeah.
B
And so they have to like land. They have to make an emergency landing and drop off their suitcases because the plane is too heavy. Whatever. It was so funny. They go to this carnival and I guess it's like this, you know, it's like this Mexican Carnival, and there's a guy there who can guess anybody's weight. So Larry, like, brings all the people over.
A
Oh, right. I've seen this. We talked about this episode before. It's seriously peak comedy. Yeah. When it aired, we were not okay.
B
Oh, my God. It's seriously so funny. Yeah, I was cracking up. Oh, my God. That's. Okay. Never mind. I actually, maybe I'm.
A
I mean, that is like. That's so real. If you're ever in a situation where you have to ask, like, your friends for their weight, I mean, it's not like even when we're renting skis, like, you need to ask everyone. They're like, oh, I'll fill it out myself.
B
Yeah. When Ben and I were first dating, we were in Puerto Ric. We went parasailing, and the guy on the back of the boat was like, I just need, like, your rough weights. And Ben was like, oh, I can, like, go in, like, the other part of the boat or whatever. And I'm like, no, it's fine. 120.
A
And the guy was like, sail goes down.
B
The guy was like. He gave. He gave me eyes. He was like, I'm gonna give you another chance to.
A
Did you really try and lie?
B
Of course I said no.
A
But then you're like, you're. That's so risky.
B
I said, 125. And then he was like. And I gave him a look, and I was like, just, you know, do your to your worst. Like, overestimate. I don't give a. Then also, I'm always doing it in dangerous situations. And, like, if somebody's asking you for your weight in that sense, like, it's usually for your safety. Like, when I was on this, me and Brian were in the British Virgin Islands, and we were, like, island hopping, and you take these tiny planes. They needed my weight. And, like, I honestly hadn't weighed myself in months, so I just. I honestly. I didn't even know. Your guess is as good as mine.
A
But round up. Nah, Round up, because, like, seriously, they need enough fuel. What, you want to be going down right before you hit land.
B
So I did tell Brian, like, right before we took off that I lied about my weight. And he was like, I'm literally a father.
A
Like, yeah, I would. If I were traveling with you, I would go over on my weight, just, like, make up for your lie.
B
Wow. Well, I just feel like I'm not going to be traveling anymore if that's just, like, the state of travel.
A
I agree. I feel like we've reported on Stories where, like, even commercial airlines are, like, starting to consider accounting for people's weight when purchasing a ticket.
B
Yeah, it's definitely a tough line of. Line of, like, a line to walk. I just feel like I can't get hurt if anybody. Like, no one's gonna be asking me on my weight if I never leave my house, you know?
A
Yes. It's just, you know, they're always asking, like, for the right reasons, but there's just never a right reason, you know?
B
Of course. And, like, they don't do it in the most discreet way. Now, I know it's, like, a part of this par sailor's job, but he should have pulled me to the side.
A
But don't you think if he pulled you to the side, he'd be like, oh, why'd you think I'd be embarrassed?
B
Well, because I'm fat. Like, I'm not stupid or blind. I know I'm fat. I was fat at the time. Like, extremely.
A
There's no right way to go about it.
B
And the funny part of the Curb.
A
Episode, actually, you could give everyone a little slip of paper, and they could write it down. That's the way.
B
Well, that was the fun. The thing with the Curb episode was that Larry needed to collect them to give to the pilot. And, like, they weren't comfortable giving it to Larry, let alone the pilot. And it was. It was the men, too. It was so funny and so real. I just loved it. I know.
A
It's such a good episode.
B
It really is. It's like season nine or ten. We have a great episode today. We have stories Jessica Simpson is single. And that's kind of huge news for. For a select few and those. That includes us. We also have dear toaster number four.
A
For the year of Couples.
B
Yes. By the way, Paige and Craig was.
A
Technically December, but I wonder, maybe this is starting a new batch of three. It also feels like people just drop big news in the new year.
B
Yeah.
A
Or maybe people, like, kind of give themselves till the end of the year. And it's like, if we can't work it out, like, we're gonna start the new year on a new foot. Part of it is just, like, high time for breakups right now. I wonder.
B
Like, also, the fire is like, maybe that's, like, a way of burying. Because I literally forgot about Jessica Alba. So much has happened.
A
I mean, we were always going to forget about Jessica.
B
She is forgettable.
A
Like, I didn't forget about Paige and Craig. It's just about.
B
Of course not. I can never and I will never.
A
Did you see that Paige was at a football game with another male. However, I didn't see, like, anything untoward.
B
No, not untoward, but I, like, saw her sitting with a guy at a game in a city that, like, she has no connection to. Like, why would she be at an Eagles game? Because her man's there.
A
Like, because her man's. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not jumping to conclusions, but, like, the odds that he's not straight are kind of slim because they're at a football game. Like.
B
Oh, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Yeah, no, he's. He ain't gay.
A
Yeah, he was wearing, like.
B
He's just not gay. He's not gay.
A
I didn't get a good look because my video was far away. What did you see?
B
My video was far away, too, but then I look. Saw a photo of the man, and I got, like, a resume. Oh, and a name.
A
Oh, I didn't get that.
B
Oh, yeah, he works. He works in sports. Like, he's. He ain't gay.
A
So.
B
So it was not that gay people can't work in sports, but I'm just telling you guys, he's not gay.
A
So you think it's a date? For sure.
B
Like, why the hell else would she be there?
A
Oh, my God. Okay.
B
I was trying to think. I'm like, people in Albany root for the Eagles. Like, no. I was, like, really trying to make it make sense. I'm like, no, they're. I'm in denial.
A
Yeah. Who were they playing?
B
I don't know. Oh, I do know.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know.
A
I think they were playing the Green Bay packers because they were both very green. And Harry said, are those the green cowboys? And I was like, how is that going to answer this? They're both green. But then he said the packers were wearing yellow. That's what I overheard from the kitchen.
B
And when you're thinking of, like, ways to explain things to your son, do you think, like, you're getting close to the point to explaining to Harry that cowboys don't equal football players? They're just a specific team because Harry will see someone playing in the park football, and they'll say, cowboys.
A
Yeah. But right now, this is, like, it works this way. Blue cowboys, red cowboys.
B
Cool.
A
You know, like, we're all on the same page as a percent. Yeah. But soon I'll. I'll start going through the teams. Where do you even begin? There are that. And by the way, not my job. By the way, not my job.
B
Harry's gonna be on a podcast in 20 years. Like, when I was a kid, I thought that all football players were called cowboys. Like, we're always talking about things we thought when we were kids. And like, that's the way you're experiencing that with your son.
A
It's really cute to see it from the other side. And it's very logical.
B
100 how how we came to that conclusion. So we also have deer toasters because it's Tuesday.
A
Also say it was they were playing the Packers. So maybe she has like a pack even though she was wearing the Eagles garb. Maybe there was a packer connection.
B
Listen, I'm down to clown with you.
A
And just like, they will find it. The packer connection.
B
I'm down to clown and, like, make stuff up just to make ourselves feel better. But, like, it was most likely a date.
A
Okay.
B
Get it, girl.
A
That's a nice date.
B
The love the dream page.

Thank you, Turdy Hydration.
B
You're welcome.
A
Our first story is the big shocking news of the day. Jessica Simpson has split from her husband, Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage. They called it a painful situation. So Jessica Simpson told People magazine in a statement today on Monday that Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.
B
This is devastating like one because I hate when like Internet like hawk eagle eyed Internet users are right. Like there were a lot of rumors about them for a while, her ring and she was out without him. But all of it could be explained away and now it's like, well, they were right.
A
Yeah, I just feel like you can't really judge Jessica Simpson. Based on her social media or, like, what she's doing.
B
She's not playing that game.
A
No, there's just like, she's so layered. Whatever. She winds up, like posting social media is just like one picture. So if her husband hasn't been there in a while, like, doesn't necessarily, necessarily mean anything. But there have been rumors about this, but I also feel like rumors have plagued them throughout their entire marriage. So at a certain point, it's like, listen. Yeah, shut up. We'll like when they say what they say.
B
Now, if you read her book, which you absolutely should, because it's the most.
A
You absolutely amazing.
B
It's the most amazing book of all time. It's really sad because they were really have been through so much together. And I think that, like, only recently, not like, only maybe I would say in the last five or ten years has she sort of been rebirthed. Like, she had went through this really tough struggle with alcohol addiction. And he was there, you know, thicker, thin, supporting her, like, kind of picking up where she was putting down when it came to, like, the family and the kids and. And she wrote about him with such respect and such gratitude that it makes me really sad that, like, now that things seem to be going much better for her, they didn't make it.
A
Yeah, it does make me sad because he seemed like a good guy, Charming, happily ever after. You know, you kind of write them off and don't worry about that.
B
Right.
A
So when someone comes out of retirement like that, you hate to see it. They have a big family.
B
Yeah.
A
She seems really happy. And then they say a painful situation. So this isn't the usual, you know, schedules, privacy. Just didn't make it. Love them.
B
Yeah.
A
And of course, it begs the question.
B
Of what we were talking about last week in regards to just Jessica Alba. This is another woman who makes significantly more money than her husband. He's like a former football player. He didn't really, like, achieve greatness in that. But where I feel like I think I know them a little bit better than I knew Jessica Alba and her husband, because I read her book and he was an extremely involved parent. Eric. Is that his name? I literally don't even know his name. Like, super, super dad almost. So I feel like he will get a large settlement because she owns a billion dollar company. And I actually, this is a rare scenario where I am okay with it. Like, I think he earned his living. Do you know what I mean?
A
But I also think that because of what happened with Nick Lachey, she probably has a pretty strong Prenup and isn't gonna have to give half.
B
Just like, not half, but a prenup is. Is helpful. But in a marriage where you were together for so many years, you built a huge part of your business during that time, and you have three children together. Like, the court, you. It's illegal for you to walk away.
A
Like, child support and alimony, but. And probably automatically get half.
B
No, no, he's not gonna get half, but he'll. I think she'll give him, like, a big chunk unless it get ended really poorly. Like, I feel like maybe if Kelly Clarkson marriage had ended, like, in a more amicable way, she would have been okay giving him a big settlement and then monthly payments for the kids and whatever, but she had so much resentment because he was such a shit that he didn't deserve it. I feel like I need to know what happened between these two.
A
Pain, where there's the pain. Who caused the pain? Was it an accidental pain or an intent? Was it an affair?
B
On this pain chart. Show me how bad it is.
A
One to five on this pain chart. I'm sorry. That's just, like, a crazy, vague term, but also pretty specific, considering they could have not included that and just been like.
B
Unless they're saying marriage is running force. It's painful because the marriage is ending. Is that where the. Is that the cause of the pain, or was there a different pain that caused the end?
A
Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage. So there was a situation.
B
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
That led to the end of the marriage.
B
That wording is. Is intentional.
A
Something happened.
B
Now, I feel like, you know, I always try to look at both sides when there's a devastating breakup and get excited about, like, the girl going out and, like, maybe reconnecting with John Mayer. But to be honest, like, I don't have that sort of feeling. I feel like what I took away from her book was that, like, not only does she require, but she really thrives in, like, stable environments. And I think he was really. That for her. And I think maybe the marriage would have ended a little while ago if she didn't really cling to that sort of stability. So I don't want to see her. Like, that's not. I think what's even best for her, like, out and about, you know, dating around Hollywood. Like, I liked that she had this guy who was, like, kind of a nobody. Like, yeah, he played football. Like, tell me what team. I'll give someone a million dollars if they know what team he Played for, like, it was just this kind of good situation they had. Random, but good.
A
Yes, but Jessica Simpson, like, is a lover, and she actually probably will have a new relationship because she's a relationship girl. There are so many people in her book who she had, like, real relationships with, not just, like. And I don't think she's, like, a fling person, but I think she likes being in a relationship. So as when the dust settles from this, I think she will want that again because I think she likes that partnership.
B
Well, maybe her neighbor slash mom friend, Kim Kardashian could set her up with someone. She runs in a very, very cool, powerful circle. She lives in that neighborhood. Her kids play soccer with the west guests and the Kardashians. Like, she is ripe for. For a good setup, I guess.
A
Like, if Kim could set someone. If she had all these bachelors, like, one for himself, two sisters, Chloe, like, let's get it popping.
B
Well, Chloe had said that she doesn't want to date until the kids are grown.
A
I know, but the heart wants. Right. Like, the right man walked up to her.
B
But I also feel like the men that Kim knows, like, obviously don't work for Kim, and therefore they wouldn't work for Chloe. But Jessica's totally different, you know?
A
Yeah, Jessica is totally different, and she's.
B
Kind of this, like, free spirit, even.
A
Though she likes athletes, too.
B
Yeah, but it's different. He wasn't, like, an athlete. You know what I mean?
A
But Tony Romo, well, he's so happily married.
B
And I would never, ever, ever wish ill on him and his family. They have a beautiful life together. They're like Texas royalty.
A
No, I'm just saying just that. That she likes athletes. Tony.
B
No, but I was just gonna say, like, having said that, I should.
A
What about John Mayer?
B
Well, you know, I've recently gotten over, in a very public way, my crush on John Mayer for. For many years. Like, it was. It was him. He was the end all be. And I felt really good about the fact that, like, Ben didn't, like, not look like John Mayer. You know, they're not twins, but. And I've recently just started to find him, like, unattractive. Not even, like, in a physical sense, like. Yes. You know, he's not aging in the way that I had hoped, but you know what I mean? Like, overall, like, his vibes, like, some of the things he's like a little. It gives me the ick a little bit. Like, I'm just over him. So maybe at one point, like, these two reuniting would have Been the best thing to ever happen to me. But not only does he give me the ick, I also don't think, like, now I'm suspicious of, like, men who all. He says he wants to get married. He wants to be in a relationship. I'm a relationship guy. You're literally almost 50. You could be married 100 times if you wanted. Like, you never even. In his lyrics, he talks about, like, how he wants to have kids. It's like, well, you don't.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, a woman can want to have kids and not, like, it cannot happen for. But if a man wants to have kids, like, he can have kids. It's not a choice. I mean, I'm sorry. Yeah, it is a choice.
A
It's just easier for them. It's like the minute they decide. So he's like.
B
It's like, you're not serious. And it's like, well, you're almost 50 now. We're still doing this. Like, grow up.
A
Speaking of John Mayer, Sabrina Carpenter, did you see Harry Jowsey was on Kristen Cavallari's podcast, and he said that he DMs Sabrina and wants to go out with her and Claudia the way I ship. And I think it's. First of all, I think compatibility wise, they would really, like, they're both really funny looks.
B
Wise, they're a total match.
A
They're a total match. I think that they would really work out. And then also celebrity wise, I think that would be a really good match for her. Like, someone in the spotlight, but not totally what she does and would totally look up to her and treat her like the queen that she is. Like, I need this to happen. Yeah, check your DMs.
B
He got dragged. People were like, you think the biggest pop star. You're literally from too hot to handle.
A
I do think. I do think.
B
And I agree, like, on the surface, you're like, what? But the more you really think about it and really what she needs, also you have to think about the fact that, like, she's very comfortable in her sexuality and she's kind of, like, freaky, for sure, you know? And, like, nobody is more open about their freakiness than. What's his name? Harry.
A
Harry Jowsey.
B
I agree. At first I was like, wait. And then I saw a picture side by side of them together. I'm like, they almost looked like cousins, you know? I'm like, oh, it's perfect. Not that, like, cousins should, but, like, they have the same sort of, like, aura.
A
They have the same aura. And I just. I really Wholeheartedly endorse that.
B
Yeah. And even my girl Just like, Mr. Right now, not Mr. Right. Like, I don't think they're gonna get married, but I think that would be really fun for Sabrina.
A
Yeah.
B
And, like, it would be nice, like, be with somebody who's, like, actually handsome and tall. Do you know what I mean? Like, it was just to change it up for Sabrina.
A
Yeah. Something new.
B
Something new.
A
It could be the start of something new. Feels so right to be here with Harry Jowsey. Oh, I like Harry Jowsey. Those clips were cracking me up.
B
I like Harry Jowsey, too, actually. I think it's really impressive what he's done with his, like, modicum of fame.
A
Yeah. So as, like, Sabrina's number one fan. The Carpenters indoors.
B
Carpenters. Yeah.
A
Our next story, another celebrity is postponing a big announcement. Beyonce has pumped the brakes on her big reveal as LA is on fire. So Beyonce was set to announce something huge today, and she's put it on ice as the wildfires continue to cut a destructive path across Los Angeles. She issued a statement on Monday night saying the January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of. Of Los Angeles.
B
Yeah. So, like, it's weird, too. Postpone. To announce. To announce a postponement of an announcement.
A
To announce an announcement and then announce the postponement of the.
B
Of said announcement. Having said that, like, she was in a bad spot, you know, like, she couldn't go radio silent because everybody's like, beyonce, what's up? And, like, it's sort of, like, tacky to like, make. Even though I do think now she could make it without it being, like, like out of touch. Like, I think that enough time has passed where it's like, obviously the devastation is still ongoing, but, like. Like, it's more under control. And I just don't think it would have been, like, the worst thing if she had done it.
A
I don't think it's tasteless or tacky for people to announce things right now. However, I think it's not the best business efficient because you're not going to be able to promote it as much as you want, and it's going to get lost in the news cycle. And so it's better to just postpone it so you can have the moment that you want. But it does beg the question, like, what's the announcement that she's announcing?
B
I know, because I don't think it's an album. Yeah.
A
Cowboy Carter Tour, which Sounds so fun.
B
Honestly. Yeah, probably.
A
And maybe she was, like, wanting that momentum from the halftime show. Yeah, but now she's postponing the announcement. Yeah, but I am feeling like tour.
B
But although I feel like when there's like a big stadium tour coming out, like, people, it always gets leaked.
A
Oh, really?
B
Yeah, because people, like, work at the stadiums get like an email about, you know, upcoming tour schedule, and it, like, I feel like it always gets leaked.
A
Oh, well, then maybe not. But what else could it be? I don't think it's an album.
B
No.
A
She has her hair care line. Like, I don't think it's a. A line of goods.
B
Retirement, per chance. That would be crazy if Beyonce was just like, I'm retiring.
A
No, I don't think so. I don't think you have to set a date to announce that.
B
Not not only that, like, she's a businesswoman and you don't go out while you're on top. Like, there's more money to be made.
A
So when did she postpone it till? I'm not sure.
B
I mean, there's no way to know. And honestly, I feel like if she were to set another date. Write what down? I'm.
A
Write it down. It's just things to follow up on.
B
Yeah, yeah. Things to circle back on.
A
I'm loving having a pen and paper, let me tell you. And I also, of course, need to circle back with Keeping up with Sports.
B
Yeah, that's sort of the inspiration behind the list. It should be called the Keeping Up List.
A
They should announce the premiere of their podcast on our.
B
Agreed.
A
Keeping Up With Sports. So this is just my follow up list.
B
Yeah. Whatever happened to blank? Yeah, I like that.
A
Whatever happened to Megan's podcast with Lemonada.
B
Added to the list?
A
Lemonada podcast. Lemonada X. Megan.
B
That's weird.
A
What did happen? It's happening, but not before Netflix.
B
Did you see Ms. Rachel is now, like, on Netflix?
A
I did.
B
I know. You're over her. I'm over her too.
A
Yeah, No, I. I'm not into her.
B
But I just want to say I've clowned on her for, like, being a communist with, like, like, her inability.
A
She put her businesswoman pants on.
B
Yeah, it's her inability to, like, franchise and, like, make money and.
A
No, she got a taste.
B
Should have been on Netflix for a while. Yeah, she got a taste of the luxury life.
A
I think she's, like, also announced, like, she has toys. I think she's got a book. Like.
B
Yeah, she always had, like, like, good revenue streams, but. But at the level that she like, influences young minds. Like, if that were me, I actually would be retired and I would be a multi, multi billionaire many times over. And so I just always thought, like, she was kind of lacking that entrepreneurial spirit. And now I feel like you're right. She got a taste of the high life and she wants more.
A
It's true. She's got a big. A big appetite.
B
100. So I guess we'll wait to see what Beyonce's announcement was going to be.
A
Very exciting and very vague.
B
Very vague. Yeah, you're probably right about a tour.
A
I think that makes sense.
B
Yeah.
A
Are you ready for our next story? A little music news, as Carrie Underwood will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration. So the inauguration committee has announced.
B
Inauguration.
A
Inauguration committee has announced some performers, speakers, etc, and I, the most recognizable name is Carrie Underwood will be singing America the Beautiful. She said, I love our country and I'm honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I'm humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.
B
Now, I think a lot of people were really shocked by this. Like, probably one of the first, like, truly mainstream popular, actually. No, like Jason Aldean, but, like, it's very rare for a celebrity like a, an elite to get involved with Trump. And so a lot of people are really shocked by it. Even though I feel like if you've been paying attention to Carrie Underwood over the last couple of years, like, there's no way, like, she would have not been conservative. Like, she makes her own yogurt. Like, she's so, like, do you know what I mean? She's so like granola. Like, for sure she's getting a lot of backlash, but I will say it did I spawn for me now people are like, reminding, like, all these old clips. I've watched like a million compilation videos. Like, it's celebrities you didn't know performed at previous inaugurations from the last, like, two or three presidents. And I was actually really shocked to find that Ms. Kelly Clarkson gave one of the worst performances I've ever seen. I forget. I think it was Obama's first. And she sang like one of the, you know, God Bless America. Not that, not the anthem, but like one of the follow up songs. It was so bad. And I've actually never heard Kelly sing poorly. I highly encourage you guys to just, like, look it up on YouTube. You will be shocked. She might have, like, started in the wrong key. Something happened like, something went wrong. And we know Kelly can sing. It's not. I would love to know what happened. Like, it was so bad.
A
That is so crazy. I did not know that. But, yeah, usually, like, the last inauguration perform Gaga, so Beyonce.
B
Famously Beyonce. And actually. But my little research trip. Tommy is actually. Hilary Duff was at George Bush's inauguration. A lot of people don't know that.
A
She was there for. Did she sing?
B
She didn't sing. She was just there. Yeah. So it's like. I feel like it's, like, a big deal now, but it almost just becomes, like, a part of history because we don't talk about, you know, Hillary Duffett, Bush or Kelly Clarkson at Biden or was it Biden or. I think it was Obama. Like, we don't talk about. It just sort of becomes, like, a part of American history. So now in the moment, it's like, there's backlash, or we're all talking about it, but I don't know. I just feel like it becomes, like, cemented in history and we all just move on from it.
A
Yeah. And I think for some artists. I think some artists, like, are very political and would never, like, cross a line or perform for someone, but I think for other people, like, it's really an honor. It is a. It is a huge honor to perform at inauguration for the entire country, like, and to see it as a unifying experience. Like, I. I think that is a nice thing. And also for the people watching, I want a good. I want some good performers. I want some beautiful renditions of our beautiful country's beautiful songs also.
B
And I think Jelly Roll was just talking about this because he was at a UFC fight and he met Trump, and, you know, some of his followers were like, I can't believe you. Like that. And his response was like, are you guys kidding me? Like, I'm. I'm like, I was in jail. I got to meet a president. Like, I don't give a which one. It is. Like, it's such an honor to meet any president. I've never met a president. Have you? No, no. Like, it's such an honor to think about that. But, like, yes, you could look at everything so politically. But for me, like, I grew up so poor, I literally went to jail. Like. Like, I'm now here, like, in rooms with presidents. Like, yeah, I'm gonna say hi and be respectful. I don't give a who the president is. So I think a lot of people come to it with that pov. Like, just being asked. Some people are inherently political, and they are not willing to get involved on a side that doesn't.
A
On certain side.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, they would only do one side.
B
Right. Which I think there are people that.
A
Would do both sides, either side.
B
And then there's some people who are just thirsty. And it's like. Yeah. Millions of people are watching, like.
A
Like, it's like singing out.
B
These bills aren't gonna pay themselves. Exactly.
A
Yeah. So I look forward to seeing what she does with it. I just watched her perform on New Year's Rock and Eve because now she's, like, really back out there. She's a American Idol judge, so she did ABC's New Year's, and she's giving it her all.
B
Yes. She definitely, like, she never took time off because she's always been touring. If you've been following Carrie, like, there's new music, there's new albums, there's new tours. But I think from, like, real public life, she's actually very private, and she doesn't, like, show up and do a lot of stuff. She's, like, a private family life, too, also, you know, there's, like, a lot of, you know, rumors about her, and her family is all like, you know.
A
Yeah. But if she seems well, she does seem well.
B
And she was good on Rock and Eve.
A
Yeah. Not my favorite song choices, though, would be my criticism as a big Carrie fan.
B
I saw her perform somewhere. Coach maybe something like that. And she wasn't, like, a headliner. I was, like, particularly, like, looking. I was like, I want Luke Holmes and Morgan Wallet. But she was amazing.
A
No, I seriously love her. And.
B
And have you seen her size? It's, like, actually the craziest thing.
A
Her concert DVD is coming out on Hulu soon. Remember? That was a story.
B
Write it down.
A
She's, like, very much in the news right now.
B
She's doing a lot. Maybe she got bills to pay or something.
A
Yeah, no, she wants to promote her concert dvd. So this is a really good platform.
B
The thing you're looking for is, like, a concert movie. It's no longer called a concert dvd, Grandma.
A
No, but, Claudia, like, it's a concert dvd.
B
I know. What are we calling it? Like, Taylor Reputation? It's like a ERAS tour movie.
A
Like concert streaming on streamers.
B
Yeah, we need to. We need to come up with official replacement for Concert TV Day. I guess it's a concert movie, but sometimes they make it, like documentaries. Shawn Mendez Wonder. Like, this is different.
A
Right? Right. Oh, my God. Do not.
B
I won't get started on my diet.
A
No, no, sorry. Not. That's not what I was Saying, do not make it a documentary as well.
B
Oh, no.
A
If I'm turning on your concert dvd, it's because I want the bangers.
B
Oh, my God. I forgot to tell you. The most interesting page I end up up. I ended up on.
A
Okay. Page.
B
Like, someone's page.
A
Okay.
B
You know me. I, like, I interact a lot on social media with Katy Perry. Like, I am a fan of hers. Begrudgingly. Yeah. So I ended up on Katy Perry China, which is like, a Twitter account just dedicated to, like, Katy Perry updates. There's a million of them. Like, you wouldn't think anything of it, right? Like, it's like, a fan account that shows paparazzi pictures, but the person who runs Katy Perry China hates Katie Perry. I saw some of the nastiest tweets about Katy Perry on a fan account of hers. So Katy Perry was seen leaving CVS with Orlando Bloom and Daisy, and you.
A
Want to bring them those nasty fucking tweets here?
B
I do, I do. Because it was seriously so crazy. Okay, so Katy Perry was seen leaving, like, a CVS with Orlando and the. The baby, Daisy. And Daisy, like, starts to have, like, a tantrum, like, leaving the cvs, and she, like, won't get in the car. Like, classic toddler. So this is Katy Perry China. Ready? They have pictures of Katy, like, the paparazzi pictures of Katie Daisy in Orlando. Breaking news. Daisy cried. Was it her evil mother who wouldn't buy her a toy? Katy Perry or Linda Bloom. And their daughter Daisy shopped @CVS on January 10, 2025 in Santa Barbara. Daisy was found bursting into tears. So I was like, oh, my God, were they hacked? Like, it was such a crazy. And the account is Katy Perry China. And I was like, there's literally no way. So the next tweet comes up. This is why no one wants to have kids these days. Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and their daughter Daisy were shopping at cvs. As they were leaving, Daisy started throwing a tantrum, causing a scene in front of bystanders and embarrassing her celebrity parents via the Daily Mail. Jackie, it is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like, why is somebody dedicating their life to a Katy Perry fan account when they literally hate Katy Perry?
A
I. I mean, that's just people, right?
B
Jackie, it was so funny. Her evil parents. Was it her evil mother who didn't buy her a toy? Like, seriously crazy. The Internet says, oh, there's a new Tick Tock account that you would love.
A
Oh, send it to me. What is it?
B
It's called Like Daily Mail history or something. So they, like, write headlines and things, like, as if what was happening in, like, the 1500s was happening right now. Because I saw it and I was like, I thought it was a real Daily Mail headline. It's like, breaking Catholicism to become banned by the king of the Church of England. I was like, wait, what? And it was like, from the 1700s, like, Henry VIII or whatever. You would love it. It's like, it's far. It's money and smutty and fart smart and funny.
A
That's funny. Stassi was trying to get me on TikTok by, like, teasing these, like, good historical accounts. She was like, there's stuff for you.
B
There is stuff for you. Let me tell you what the account is.
A
She's given up. Maybe they're on reels.
B
It's called history mail.
A
History mail. That is a history mail. Okay. The Greeks have gifted the Trojans a wooded horse. Pieces close inside. Reports state.
B
No, it's such a funny concept.
A
Scientists invent what they call a wheel which is said to change the world. Experts say it's too complicated for widespread use.
B
That is so funny. Funny.
A
Small city filled with mainly criminals named Rome is trying to expand its territory. Experts say it won't get far. That is funny. I shall follow.
B
Oh, are they on reels?
A
They are unreal. And hopefully, you know, it's history mail. Who do they. Okay, well, thanks for that detour. Are you ready for our next story?
B
Yeah.
A
Our next story is some bebe news because Brittany and Patrick Mahomes have welcomed baby number three, a girl. So Brittany and Patrick Mahomes shared that their daughter was born. Her name is Golden Ray Mahomes.
B
And I just can't wait for Taylor Swift to invite her to get up to get the. The 22 hat and say. And it's golden. Golden, cute. Like, celebrities, like, often do crazy things. And so the Mahomes is. I didn't know this, but apparently, like, they have, like, a metal theme within their family. Their kids are named Steel. Their dogs are named, like. Like, I don't know.
A
The daughter is Sterling Sky. So Sterling, which is, by the way.
B
Sterling itself is a fine, like, normal name.
A
And then the son is. His first name is Patrick, but they call him Bronze.
B
Okay, well, he has a real name, so because.
A
Oh, I'm sorry. Because he's Patrick Mahomes iii. Bronze.
B
Oh, that's cute.
A
Love. Like that and then Golden.
B
So, yeah, while the theme is, like, kind of crazy celebrity, whatever each name individually, it isn't that crazy.
A
No, not at all.
B
I would say golden is probably like the least conventional in terms of like, I don't know if I would say golden is like a name. But it's pretty and it's not crazy.
A
No, it's not. That's very nice. I'm happy for Britney and to Patrick, of course. But also.
B
And I think it lines up nicely. Like, I think they have a break this week. So, you know.
A
Do you think she'll be at the playoff games?
B
100 One thing about Britney Mahomes, like, she doesn't miss a game.
A
True. It's true.
B
And she like bounces back. She's like, oh, we just had a baby, but it's a Super Bowl.
A
Like, like I would actually think this is the worst timing to have a baby like during the playoffs because like this is when can't be really out of commission.
B
Right? She'll be there.
A
Brittany Mahomes. She doesn't miss a game.
B
No. And when your husband has a 500 million dollar contract, like you can take private planes, you can hire nannies, like, and I feel like she, I feel like she puts her husband's money like to work. And I love that she could get.
A
A bed in the suite and she could be sat in bed watching the game.
B
She probably is gonna get like a nurse. Like that's what I would do if I had all that money. Like I would get a jet, a wet nurse, a bed and we would just travel the country with my man.
A
Yeah.
B
Sounds kind of nice.
A
It honestly does.
B
And it's not her first, that or second. Like I feel like by the third.
A
You'Re just, you're just like you're on the go.
B
Yeah.
A
And she's already like a, a go get her girl.
B
100.
A
Well happy for them.
B
Me too.

A
Thank you. Our fifth and final story is a little memoir news.
B
Who's writing one?
A
Memoirs of a Brookie Brooke Shields memoirs have come out. She's been in the news a lot of headlines about excerpts from her book. Her book is called Are you ready for it?
B
Shield me forever. Something like that.
A
No, it's literally so bad. Oh it's so long. Brooke Shields is not allowed to get old thoughts on aging as a woman.
B
What?
A
That's the name of the book?
B
That's the name of.
A
TED Talk.
B
It's not even. It's like, it's on a. It's a sentence.
A
No, it's the name of a college paper.
B
Oh, my God. They're getting worse and worse. Honestly, me and Ben watching so much Barefoot Contessa because he's, like, seriously obsessed with nine. And he's like, literally sits and writes notes.
A
Do you tell him to get ready when the luck hits?
B
Yeah. And then he was showing me something. He was like, that's the name of her book. I'm like, yeah.
A
Well, here's what Brooke Shields is sharing. She's actually a lot of, like, headlines have come out about stuff that she's sharing on her press store and things from her book. But she said that Tom Cruise actually privately expressed remorse over his ridiculous rant about her use of antidepressants. She revealed in her memoir, oh, wow. Published today. And she said that the actor eventually said sorry to her. She said it wasn't the world's best apology, but it's what he was capable of. And I accepted it.
B
That was a big part. So it's interesting because she had a documentary that I feel, like, really shook everyone. It's. A lot of celebrities do documentaries, but hers, like, really made conversations, made waves, and. And I think it ushered in this new era of, like, Brooke Shields appreciation. And.
A
And.
B
And this took a hard look at, like, how Hollywood is really fucking obsessed with young girls in a really disgusting way. And she. She beared the brunt of a lot of it at the time. So I feel like she got a lot of it out in the documentary. And I'm sure the success of the documentary made it easier for her to, like, sell a book, but I wonder what's in the book that wasn't in the documentary.
A
I don't know.
B
Maybe.
A
It seems to be also a focus on aging as a woman. So, like, with not so much like a life story as. As it is like. Like a woman's story.
B
Right. I mean, and the documentary was actually a lot about her mother.
A
Yeah.
B
Who was like, you know, so I.
A
Think this is more about her and where she's at in her life. And so she talks about the beef with Tom Cruise from back in the day and how he eventually apologized in his way.
B
But that was the craziest part of the documentary because she was, like, one of the first women to ever publicly speak about postpartum depression. And she had it, like. Like, really bad. Like, she had to, I think, like, get treatment for it. Like, outpatient. It was really, really bad. And she was like, nobody's talking about this. And I think she spoke about it on Oprah or something, and people, like, came for her. Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. The one thing about him, like, at least he's consistent. He is seriously the biggest loser on the planet. I'm sorry. Like, they try to make me like him with Top Gun and, like, his movie star. Like, I get it, like, Jerry Maguire. But he is a loser, and he always has been. I'm sorry. I hate him.
A
Yeah, we're back there.
B
Yeah, we're back.
A
All of the Olympics.
B
Yeah. Every time. One step forward, three steps backwards. Like, I. I just. I actually can't. There are some people I think I can, like, willfully, like, ignore and just, like, be blind to their flaws. Like, Tom Cruise is so problematic. I'm sorry. Hate.
A
Yeah. Well, I actually. I think that this book is a good book. Like, I would trust her to write a memoir. I feel like every time she's, like, speaking or giving an interview, she just has a lot of saying I. A lot to say. She has a lot of wisdom, and she's been in the industry for so long. So even though the title's, like, not my favorite title, I think this is. Will be a good book. So that'll let us know.
B
Is the title not my favorite title? It's probably one of my least favorite titles. It's up there with when the Luck Starts or whatever. It's. What's it called?
A
Be Ready when the Luck Hits.
B
It's frustrating when celebrities have bad names for their memoirs, but it's especially frustrating when, like, the public can easily think of, like, five that are so good. Barefoot Confessor. Barefoot. It should have been called Barefoot Confessions. Like, that's just it. Like, obviously, I would have liked Barefoot Confessor, but okay. Confessions. Like, when there's such an obvious choice and you decide to not only not choose it, but go with the worst one ever. That's especially frustrating.
A
Yeah.
B
And what was Josh Gads? I remember we just were talking about it, and it was good. I think it was like, are you there, Gad? It's me. Something like Josh Gad.
A
Memoir is called In God We Trust.
B
Funny. Funny. So.
A
But he's a funny man. Like, not everyone wants to be funny. People want to.
B
They don't have to be funny. Barefoot Confessions is not funny.
A
So the way that they did her title on the COVID is better than in spoken Word. Because it says Brook Shields at the top as if she's the author and then is not allowed to get old.
B
Okay.
A
It's really long thoughts on aging as a woman.
B
Let's do Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where every Tuesday, Jackie and I will read three submissions from the Swirlies in Need. Now, if you're a swirly and you find yourself in need and you want to reach out to us, you can head over to our website, thetoastpodcast.com or you can head over to your email and send us an email. DearToasters gmail.com, are you ready?
A
Yes.
B
Okay, this one, like, actually made me laugh. Hey, Swirlies. Happy New Year. I'm in dire need of your help. My husband has been in a fantasy football league for 15 years, and until this year, he's never even come close to winning. Last weekend, he was beyond stressed and just awful. Snapping at me and just being a big weenie. In the end, he lost. I had already gone to bed, but I could hear him storming around. I even heard him crying. When he came into the bedroom, I got the biggest ick since I was pretending to be asleep when all this happened. How do I address it with him? Sincerely, wife of a big football crying weenie.
A
Oh, my gosh. I feel like you have to let it go. Like, you don't address it.
B
It just needs to be something like you yourself, and, you know, like, you.
A
Never saw it or heard it. I, like, really hope that he wins one day, but I just. I don't think there's anything to say unless he brings it up because it's affecting him so much. But maybe you just need to let it out. And today's a new day.
B
It's really tough when, like, you see someone doing something that, like, they were doing in private.
A
And, like, you can't judge people for what they did in private when they.
B
Thought nobody was watching. Now, that person being your partner makes it even more awkward because you're supposed to not have secrets. But, yeah, I agree with Jackie. I don't think you can address this. Like, you just need to know, like, your man is crazy and this is really important to him and let him, like, cry.
A
Better luck next year.
B
Yeah, I think crying, well, you know.
A
How much money is on it.
B
But. But my initial thought was, like, oh, your man has a gambling problem. Because, like, seriously, crying is really crazy. And, like, maybe he.
A
Maybe it's a pretty big pot and he needed the money.
B
Maybe he's in debt. Maybe he's not sharing that with you. So I could see more sinister and more nefarious things going on here. Now, I feel like I'm always saying, like, your husband's a gambling addict, Your husband's gay, so I was refraining. But I do think, like, if you wanted to look further into this, you might find something more sinister, because this is not normal. This is not normal behavior.
A
Or maybe, like, he. He's not in debt, but he was looking forward to getting that money and, like, doing something really exciting for himself. Or maybe, like, taking you on a trip and he's crying thinking about, like, you guys on the beach.
B
Like, to be clear, he was not crying thinking about you guys on the beach. Like, maybe he was crying because, like, he had his eyes on a Rolex and now he can't get it. Like, maybe something like that.
A
Yeah.
B
But I think it's important to be, like, you know, realistic here. He was not planning a beachfront vacation for you guys.
A
I just feel like, if you want. Since you can't speak to him about it, if you want to, like, make yourself feel better, just think about the fact that he was gonna buy you a Birkin. And he's crying because he can't. Or I cried too.
B
If you can't let this go while I don't think talking to him about it is going to solve anything, like, do a little digging into the financials. Like, you might find something.
A
Just make sure that we're in the green.
B
Yeah. Because it is, like, sort of crazy behavior. I know men get, like, really into sports and, like. But to lose a fantasy league, especially when you lose all the time, like. Yeah. To get close and then lose, it's even harder. But, like, crying is. Is actually, like, lunacy, and it actually. It's really crazy.
A
I think he had big plans and big dreams for a big trip. For a big trip. And he was gonna renew your vows.
B
Yeah. And that's why he's crying. Okay, ready? Hey, Jackson. Claude. I'm in desperate need of your advice. My boyfriend, six three, Buff, works in finance. He's a peejam. Our relationship is fantastic, but every time we visit his parents, I really start to cringe at him. He's 29 years old, and he still, in all seriousness, calls his parents Mommy and Daddy. He'll say something like, mommy, can you make me a sandwich? Or, daddy, can you pass the salt? I'm sitting there wondering if I should start packing my bags or just quietly slip out the back door. I haven't said anything because I don't know if I need to get over myself. Or if this is grounds for a conversation, please help. Now I just. I have to come to the table and say something.
A
Your husband does this.
B
My husband picks up the phone. Hi, mommy. Hi, daddy. I never thought until this moment that it was weird. He has, I think, like, a very normal, healthy relationship with his parents. They're really close, but I don't think it borders on, like, like, weird. Now you got me, like, obviously, like, rethinking things. Like, I think it's maybe, like. I mean, Ben's six. One. I don't know. I don't know. I. I've never thought it was weird. So I want to say this might be a you thing.
A
What I was gonna say is, like, even if it feels weird when you hear it and you don't like it, like a deal breaker. And it's also not something that I think that you could say to him. Like, after 29 years, you need to start calling his parents something else. So I think that it's something that you just have to, like, learn to ignore. And when you hear it, like, in one ear, out the other, because why ruin a good thing? This is not a deal breaker.
B
No. I'm sorry. If you're willing to give up a pee job. Man who works in finance and is 6. What did you say?
A
6. 3.
B
6. 3. Like, who the fudge do you think you are? Like, we're just giving up perfectly good men because they called their mom's mommy.
A
No, it's. That's what I say when, like, it culture has gone way too far.
B
Yep. That we're actually considering, like, giving up a good relationship because of the three times a year he sees his parents. Like, he says something that, like, puts you off.
A
Yeah.
B
No, you actually need to get a grip. Like, this is one of the situations where I want to shake the toaster in question and be like, he's a good man, Savannah. Like, what are you doing?
A
And also, maybe, like, you could, like, run interception. Like, you make the sandwich before he could ask his mom. Like, you get the salt. Like, so that he does not need to address his parents at all.
B
Now, that's unreasonable. Like, a person is going to live in a house for a couple of days and have to address the person's house that they're staying at now. And I don't think you should. But if you did want to, like, try and get him to stop saying it, you could, like, tease him being like, mommy, like, what are you, six? And, like, maybe he doesn't even realize it. And then slowly he'll start, but I think like you'll just come off like naggy and for no reason.
A
He's gonna write to his podcast, like, I call my mommy and daddy something.
B
We're good guys.
A
It's really something. It's really special to me and my whole family does it and really like bonds us. And my girlfriend is making fun of me.
B
And then Ben, the host who also calls his mom mommy and daddy is going to tell you to break up with that girl because like she doesn't understand good men like you. And then you're gonna lose your perfectly good boyfriend.
A
So stop it. Just ignore it. Ignore.
B
Okay, are you ready for our last one?
A
Yes.
B
Okay. Hey, Jackson. Claude, any advice? My mother in law has made so many comments about my waking. She did it over the holidays and I don't know how to deal with it. Comments in front of his entire family, aunts, uncles, brothers. At one point, his 20 year old brother actually stuck up for me because he felt so bad. The worst comment was being when she gave me a sweater for Christmas and I opened it in front of everyone. Before I could even open it. She says, I got this for you before knowing how much weight you've gained. It's a medium. You're probably gonna need a large or an extra large. But like she could have just said, if you need another size, let me know. The medium did fit slay, but she asked me later that night if she could give it to one of her son's girlfriends instead because it would probably look better on her and fit her better. This is just one example of many. My fiance didn't think anything of it and she didn't said she didn't mean it like that. I have so much resentment, I could hardly stand being around her. Help. What do I do? Well, I think it's important that you wrote into us because we know nothing about the situation. And like sometimes like with in law drama and then your man like kind of not, not taking your side, but not like sticking up for you. You're like, wait, am I in the wrong? Just from an outside third party perspective with no particular interest in the matter, like this woman's a cunt. You literally did nothing wrong. And your man not only like gaslighting you into thinking it's not a big situation, big deal, but also like not standing up for you against his mom. Like your man's a. So you got a and a cut. And I know this is your fiance, so we can't break up with him because like Obviously there's.
A
She said fiance. She said mother.
B
Oh, mother in law. Oh, my God. Excuse me. Yeah, so it's your husband. This woman's a. And I feel like with in laws, when you're like the. The daughter or the son, like, you deal with, you put up with stuff. Cause this is an older person, you have respect for them. It's your partner's mother. But you do eventually, like, hit a point where it's like, actually, this is no longer works for me. Like, I've swallowed too much. I can no longer swallow.
A
Yeah.
B
And I think you're reasonable for being at that point. Like, that is crazy shit. The taking the sweater back.
A
Put your foot down. Like, you have power here and you don't have to go and you shouldn't go and you should boycott and you.
B
Have someone on your side.
A
Not like, I want her to be nicer to me. Like, no, there's actually. There were times where you would have accepted forgiveness or correction or your husband to step in. And all those times have passed and you're not going anymore. So congratulations, you played yourself. Because if you had just said something to your mom, all this could be avoided. And now you're not going.
B
And the good thing that the small bit of hope we have to cling ourselves to and buoy ourselves to is you have an ally here in the brother. So you're not the only person. Like, see, it's not like everybody's like, what? No, you're crazy. Somebody else sees what you see. So that's huge. Because I think a lot of times, like in family dynamics, if you're the outsider, everybody's like, what are you talking about? Yeah, you're crazy.
A
Put your big fat foot down, and we're not going anymore.
B
Put your medium sized foot down. We're having Christmas at home.
A
Medium could have taken a large foot down. Yeah, I'm not putting myself in this environment.
B
I love sweaters still fit you.
A
You played yourself.
B
I love that the sweater still fit you.
A
Crazy. That's.
B
It wasn't a part of her plan. That's why she was, like, hoping that the sweater wouldn't fit. She's like, oh, I'll just give it to Sarah. But it did fit, but she had to give it to Sarah. Like, she's seriously. She's maniacal, diabolical.
A
And if your husband, like, won't go for it, start firing off some texts. Start making it permanent.
B
Yeah, that's tough. Like when you're in a battle with, you know, I follow this woman. Shauna, do you know Shauna. No, let me make sure that's her real name. And I actually followed her, like before I started telling people I was pregnant. And I was worried and she followed me back and I worried that she was gonna like blow up my spot because like, she does all like newborn content and like she does like these little skits. She's like a mom. She's like a mom influencer. Her name is not Shauna. What is her name? Shauna? Yeah. Shauna Lander. I love her. She does these like little skits about like newborns, like when friends come over and like act crazy.
A
How do you spell Shauna?
B
Sh.
A
I love accounts like this. Oh, you're gonna love about.
B
And by the way, you probably will recognize her. Her videos go so viral, you've probably seen it before. Sh A W N A Lander. L A N D E R. She on reels? Yeah. Oh, sure. She's Shauna, the mom.
A
Okay. Yes, I see her.
B
You. Have you seen her before?
A
I don't think so, but maybe so.
B
She has a lot of skits about toxic mother in laws. I love it.
A
It.
B
And so if you're looking for inspo, like, go to her account and she'll tell you how to deal. I forget who her. Like, she has like a classic mother in law, like with a cat. Barb. Barb, that's her name. And so like, she'll give you good tips on how to handle the Barb in your life.
A
Yeah. And like say your husband's like, no, we're still going. Like, send a text to the whole family, say, hey, everyone, we've been attending Easter this year as Barb can't control herself. Yeah. Can't control her rude comments. If you guys want, we'll have it at our house. House.
B
Right. Barb, you are not invited.
A
Just light a match.
B
Yeah. Like, I feel like you've put in the time you. You can't get to the place where you like burn it all down without putting up with a lot. And you've definitely put up with a lot. And you can, you can burn it to the ground.
A
Yeah. And maybe that's how you get on a new page. Like if there is like hope for the future, like something really big has to happen where she could maybe understand even if she doesn't, like, agree, but at least just be right, respectful that that's not how you talk to people that you want to, that you want to endear and that you want to come to your home and spend time with you.
B
That's just not sorry that you're dealing with that. Like, that's brutal. But I hope we've given you, like, the confidence and the. The power to take control of your holidays.
A
Yeah.
B

Podcast Summary: The Toast – "England Bans Catholicism" | January 14th, 2025
Released on January 14, 2025
Hosts: Jackie & Claudia Oshry
Podcast: The Toast by Dear Media
Description: Take a bite out of The Toast, weekdays with Jackie & Claudia Oshry.
The episode kicks off with Jackie and Claudia engaging in their signature light-hearted banter. They delve into the concept of days of the week being a social construct, highlighting cultural variations.
Claudia:
"Are there people who don't adhere to the days of the week? Days of the week, for sure."
(00:19)
Jackie:
"There are other calendars and cultures. Maybe today isn't Tuesday for everyone."
(00:35)
They discuss how different cultures perceive days differently, using Israel's unique naming for Tuesday as an example.
Claudia shares her frustration with the constant unsolicited advice and comments about her pregnancy, especially from those who haven't experienced the challenges of parenting a toddler.
Claudia:
"I'm tired of these pregnant bitches coming for my neck. I told them what they needed here."
(01:19)
She elaborates on her TikTok response, emphasizing the heightened difficulties of managing pregnancy alongside raising a toddler.
Claudia:
"It's so fucking annoying to say. So I made a TikTok about it today."
(02:22)
Jackie empathizes but maintains her stance on supporting Claudia without echoing her sentiments.
Jackie:
"I'm making like, I'm obviously talking about my pregnancy because that's what I'm dealing with... We're not disagreeing with you."
(02:48)
The conversation shifts to the future of TikTok amidst rumors of Elon Musk potentially acquiring the platform. Jackie and Claudia dissect the complexities of such a takeover, especially concerning data privacy and the entanglement with Chinese ownership.
Claudia:
"I have now seen a couple, like very wealthy people discuss it. Kevin O'Leary, allegedly, Elon Musk, Mr. Beast was talking about it."
(04:02)
Jackie:
"It's complicated. Glad it's not my job to deal with such a global issue."
(04:42)
They conclude that even if a purchase were feasible, the inseparable link between TikTok's technology and Chinese data centers presents significant challenges.
Jackie recounts attending a women's event focused on manifesting, challenging her skepticism by exploring its deeper, more structured aspects beyond popular social media interpretations.
Jackie:
"The original intention for manifesting, it's much more than influencers printing out pictures on Pinterest. It's a lot about positive affirmation and self-talk."
(07:33)
Claudia reflects on the positive aspects of manifesting, aligning it with the philosophy of receiving what one puts out into the world.
Claudia:
"If you're a joyful, positive person and you put out positive things in laughter and light, that will come back to you."
(09:04)
The hosts discuss the unexpected split between Jessica Simpson and her husband, Eric Johnson, after a decade of marriage. They analyze the public's reaction, the likelihood of financial settlements, and the impact on their children.
Jackie:
"Jessica and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage."
(21:22)
Claudia:
"Only recently, not like, only maybe in the last five or ten years has she sort of been rebirthed."
(23:13)
They express sadness over the dissolution of a seemingly supportive relationship, pondering the reasons behind the separation.
Beyoncé announced the postponement of a significant reveal initially scheduled for January 14th, citing the destructive wildfires in Los Angeles as the reason.
Jackie:
"Beyoncé was set to announce something huge today, and she's put it on ice due to the wildfires."
(31:37)
The hosts speculate on the nature of the announcement—ranging from a new tour to a business venture—and discuss the strategic timing to maximize impact once the crisis subsides.
Carrie Underwood will perform "America the Beautiful" at Donald Trump's inauguration, stirring mixed reactions given her high-profile status and past performances at other inaugurations.
Claudia:
"It's very rare for a celebrity like an elite to get involved with Trump. A lot of people are really shocked by this."
(35:36)
They compare her involvement to other artists who have participated in presidential inaugurations, noting the historical context and potential backlash.
The Mahomes family announces the birth of their third daughter, Golden Ray Mahomes, continuing their tradition of uniquely themed names within the family.
Claudia:
"Their kids are named Steel and Bronze. The daughter is Sterling Sky, and the son is Bronze."
(45:32)
Jackie and Claudia admire the creativity behind the names while expressing excitement for the growing family.
Brooke Shields releases her memoir, focusing on her experiences with aging as a woman and her past struggles, including her public fallout with Tom Cruise.

"She was one of the first women to ever publicly speak about postpartum depression. She had it really bad."
(51:37)
The hosts commend Shields for her candidness and believe the memoir will offer deeper insights not covered in her previous documentary.
Jackie and Claudia take on listener-submitted questions, offering heartfelt and often humorous advice on relationship challenges.
