Claudia
Good morning, girlies. It's the toast. It's Jackson Claude and we're your host. It's your favorite show, the Fast 5.
Jackie
Things you need to know.
Claudia
We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast.
Jackie
They sound amazing.
Claudia
Welcome back to the Toast and happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a partialicious day. Hope some of you have made a pargi loaf thus far this morning.
Jackie
I thought about it.
Claudia
I haven't.
Jackie
I was actually going to start my day with the pl, but time got away from me, you know, I was trying on dresses. All of a sudden I'm like, oh, my God, get to work.
Claudia
What a horrible way to start the morning. I'm so sorry that you were trying on dresses.
Jackie
I know, but it's my own fault. They came yesterday. I didn't do it yesterday. It was actually nice because I had done my makeup and my hair so they looked as good as they were gonna look. I gave them a fair shot.
Claudia
I also actually tried on dresses. We have a wedding coming up. My sorry, sister in law. Not Ben's sister. Sister in law. She's getting married. And I have really put off getting dresses. And I got two yesterday and they both worked. They both fit and like, I like them both. I don't even know which one to wear. And I want to shout out to a woman, I don't know if it's a woman named Taller Marmo, which is a new brand that I found that makes like, they're all like one size fits all caftans. And I know what you're thinking, like, one size fits all. But, like, they're huge. I don't know what they look like on a thin person. But I wore it to the wedding that I went to in Miami and I just was like, oh, this brand is fab. Let me get one for Maddie's wedding. Now she's pricey. So I bought one for final sale on, I think maybe like far fetched. Like, you really got to. You got to pillage the interwebs for something reasonably priced but a life hack. If you're pregnant and you have to go to a wedding. Tyler, Marmo, Pargie.
Jackie
Thank you. Also, maybe I'll do like a wardrobe change in the middle when Maddie changes her wedding dress. Like, situation. Sister in law swapping.
Claudia
That's like. That's like one of the girls who like, gets engaged at your wedding, like, hands they hand the bouquet over to you.
Jackie
I actually think this might be crazier.
Claudia
Of course it is. Doing a wedding, doing an outfit Change at a wedding that's not yours is so unacceptable, it's unheard of. The only acceptable thing is, like, to change your shoes. Everybody changes their shoes. Like, that's fine.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
And I know it. Like, actually, a bunch of, like, really, like, Orthodox religious weddings, they do actually change because they, like, a part of, like, an Orthodox Jewish wedding is doing, like, little skits for the bride and groom. Like, sometimes that requires a costume change, but other than that, like, no, no, no. Having a second party dress, like, a shorter version of your regular dress. That's really crazy.
Jackie
I love that. That's hysterical.
Claudia
So I tried on dresses yesterday and, like, I live to tell the tale. It can happen.
Jackie
No, same. And, like, I don't open packages, like, after 5:00, so I could have done it last night, put it to bed.
Claudia
Oh, that's an interesting boundary you've put up. Why is that?
Jackie
No, like, it's just when I start to wind down for the day and, like, that's coming in once I've started, like, cooking dinner, because then it's like, dinner, bath, that it's just a hectic time. And then after that time, like, don't ask me for anything.
Claudia
Like, yeah, I love that.
Jackie
Don't. Even if it's a tiny. I'm not opening anything till tomorrow. The only. I'll do, like, email work, but I will not do anything physical. I'm.
Claudia
Well, I know you were putting in the TV recap work because I woke up with a text message from Jackie about Running Point. So that means you started it.
Jackie
I started Running Point. I watched the new episode of Kardashians because I was one behind. And it just brought me so much joy to see Kim Kardashian and Andrew Huberman in the same.
Claudia
And I heard they had quite a lot of chemistry.
Jackie
I have to put it out into the universe. Not only do they need to get together, but I also, if anybody knows either of them and knows if they have gone even on one date, like, please let me know. Because also the vibe I was getting from the scene is that they might have already been dating and that's why this meeting was even happening. Because they were looking at each other, like, so smiley. I don't think because they were just into each other on the first meet. I think maybe they're dating because Kim does have a boyfriend.
Claudia
Okay, I like where your head is at. I just don't know. I don't know if I can see these two, like, truly being compatible. Especially when you think about, like, his sordid Relationship history seems like a really toxic boyfriend. Like.
Jackie
Well, I don't think he's a great boyfriend, but I do think the right woman could get him on the straight and narrow. You know, I think there might be a woman out there that would be worth changing for, for him. And he loves women, obviously.
Claudia
And loves women.
Jackie
He. Kim's a whole lot of woman. I feel like he would be so into her and I feel like for her, he's perfect. Because she really shouldn't date like a businessman because she's going to be more successful than any businessman. Obviously. She shouldn't date.
Claudia
There's only room for one star.
Jackie
She shouldn't date anyone in Hollywood. She shouldn't date any athlete. No, but a scientist who has, like an interesting. And, you know, up at Stanford and she goes to, like, law school and they could, like, pack their lunches together in the morning. I'm obsessed.
Claudia
Oh, they're like two students. Yeah. Wait. It's kind of like lessons in chemistry. Wait, can you tell me what you thought about Running Point? I'm so curious.
Jackie
I thought it was really cute. I didn't like the vibe of the show. It's like a sitcom almost, where it's like a comfort show. It's not like high stakes, like.
Claudia
No, it's not.
Jackie
It's about a family business, like a family basketball team. And it could be more like, you know, succession, where it's like drama and who's. No, it's like dopey and hysterical. And also it reminds me a little bit of Ted Lasso, but again, like, a little less serious.
Claudia
It's a swirly Ted Lasso and it's a comfort show.
Jackie
Like, it's something that would have aired on ABC at 8 o'clock back in the day.
Claudia
I watched a lot of it last night, too. And did you feel, first of all, what did you think of Chet Hanks? He's the star.
Jackie
He's so great. He's so funny. I feel like he's a little short to be playing a basketball player, but they work the angles, you know, they're like.
Claudia
Yeah, he's also jacked. He's jacked. He must have, like, gone on roids for this because he's always been like a big guy, but he's never been, like, meathead. He's huge. I don't know how he fits through the door.
Jackie
He's huge. He's. He's definitely like, the best parts of the show because.
Claudia
Yes, for sure. And I posted this on my Instagram and I got a lot of feedback, people agreeing with me. Because when I first saw the show, I don't know what about it. Maybe it was, like, looks, because it's not so much personality, but maybe the way they talk. He reminds me, like, Like, a little bit like his character might have been loosely based off Travis. Kelsey.
Jackie
I saw that, and I do agree. But then I think if that were the case, they wouldn't have called him Travis because that's, like, too obvious.
Claudia
Oh, is his name Travis? I don't know anybody's name in the show. Oh, okay. That's interesting. Also, I saw an interview chat did, and he was, like, talking so glowingly about this project because they, like, totally let him be himself. They say the character is literally him.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Which I can also see. Yeah, yeah.
Jackie
No, it's. It's really fun. It's a nice thing to watch. At the end of the day, I don't feel, like, pressure to finish it quickly. Also, Maria Sofia Estrada is in it. I clocked her into. How did you realize it was her? When in her first scene, she plays Ana Moreno, the lawyer for Jackie. And she was just, like, being extra, and I'm like, I know this person. I'm like, is that Maria Sophia Estrada? And I literally Googled it and confirmed.
Claudia
I very, very recently watched again the Maria Sofia Estrada episodes of Curb youb Enthusiasm, which are some of the funniest. And so I. I knew. It's like, I didn't even need to look it up. Like, I'm like, I was Maria Sophia.
Jackie
Oh, okay. I had to look it up to confirm because I was like, is that Maria? Like, I. It's crazy that she can be someone other than Maria Sophia. Shout out. But she's doing a great job as Anna.
Claudia
No. And I love that she has been tapped for, like, she was so funny. And Curb. She's really a very talented actress, and she's relatively unknown. So, like, the fact that Mindy tapped her, like, Mindy saw something in Maria Sophia.
Jackie
Yeah. Yeah. Good times.
Claudia
Let me ask you a question, because there's a couple things I wanted to talk about before, but I don't want to step on the toes of any stories.
Jackie
Okay.
Claudia
Is Kyle used check a story?
Jackie
He is. We have a sports. Our first story because we're in, like, a very much a sports mode. Between Running Point, there's been, like, trade news. I guess this is, like, trade time, and it's affecting the girlies on a serious level.
Claudia
It's train time.
Jackie
Trade time.
Claudia
Oh, trade.
Jackie
Duh, Trade. Because there are trades happening. So we Have a trades story.
Claudia
So then I won't talk about my Kyle Juszyk feelings because I have a lot that I want to share. But the last thing I wanted to share before we dive in is I watched last night Andrew Schultz's comedy special.
Jackie
Okay.
Claudia
And something happened to me that's never happened to me before in my life. I. I might even, like, cry talking about it now. I'm, like, so emotional. Jackie. I was hysterically crying.
Jackie
Wow.
Claudia
So. Oh, my God. I'm literally.
Jackie
The part that's never happened is, like, you never cried from a comedy special?
Claudia
A comedy special. Like, I've cried from laughing so hard, but, like, it was very emotional. So it's all about fertility. So he just had a baby and he talks all about, like, iui, IVF and fertility issues, which for him and his wife, he was the one who had, like, some issues. And so what that was like for him. And it was obviously funny, you know, like, she isn't in a cup, like, but he talks about the whole journey, like, kind of the way we talk about it, but hearing it from a man was, like, very funny. And. And I like that he was really. He talked about his wife. I. I don't know anything about her, but, like, so much respect. Like, he literally loves his wife so much. So he was like, being funny, like, my dick, my dick. Haha. But, like, still with so much respect for his wife. And it was just, like, really well done. And then by the end of it, it's their journey to getting pregnant. So they do iui, it doesn't work. They do ivf, it takes. But, like, they're really, like, unsure. And then she wakes up and she's like, oh, my God, I had the worst dream that I had a miscarriage. And she goes to the bathroom and there's blood everywhere. So they go to the doctor immediately, like, rush to the hospital, and then he's like. And then my wife said that I could share this with you guys. And there's a big screen behind him, and they play this montage. First of all, he's filming when they do the ultrasound, and they hear the heartbeat and they, like, both start crying. And then it goes into this, like, really beautiful montage of her C section. And then, like, the baby's first leggear. Jackie. I was hysterically crying.
Jackie
Oh, my God.
Claudia
So beautiful.
Jackie
Spoiler alert, because I just added it to my content list.
Claudia
He got so serious at the end because he was like, I felt so bad that, like, my wife was going through all of this, and it Was like, my issue. It wasn't like her ovaries. It was like, my thing. And he was, like, apologizing to her so profusely, and she was like. And he was like. She said something to me that I'll never forget. And it was like, it's not like, your problem. It's our problem. And, like, that's what we're going to do. And it was like, he loves his wife so much. He loves being a dad. To hear that from a man who's like, oh, like, joke, podcast, penis jizzing in a cup. The nurse was hot. Like, it was so refreshing. It was so lovely. Like, the whole mantra of the special was like, he loves being a dad, or he fudgeing loves his wife. He worships the ground she walks on. Like, you could still be funny and do that. Like, it was such a good special. I was, like, cracking up. And then I really was hysterically crying. Obviously, I'm like, a little. I'm susceptible.
Jackie
You're a little emotional.
Claudia
I did about the WI FI this morning. Just a little, little bit. It was so good. Like, I. It was like, nobody's done anything like that before. Like, it was a different take. Everybody does the same specials. Have a funny story in my penis. But he really did something new. I was hysterically crying.
Jackie
Well, now it's on the content listed. Ben, watch it with you?
Claudia
Yes. And he was cracking up because it's really relatable. Like, the whole journey of trying to conceive. Yeah. Obviously, like, their journey was different than. Than ours and other people's. But, like, the whole thing about how, like, you know, you think it's so easy to get pregnant. And he's been on the hair pill, like, his whole life, and when he had low sperm count, they were like, it's probably because you're on the hair pill. He's like, you mean to tell me my whole life, like, I could have just, like, not been getting girls pregnant and had amazing hair? Like, that's all I had to do. It was really relatable. It was very funny. I assumed it was like, minoxidil.
Jackie
Propecia. I think it's propecia. Oh, propecia for sure is like, known low sperm count, so watch out for that one.
Claudia
So he's like, that's a life hack. You wanna have great hair and get nobody pregnant. Like, when you're 20s, take Propecia. It was really funny. So Ben loved it. I loved it. It was a great watch.
Jackie
Okay, great. Thanks for the wreck.
Claudia
Yeah. Sorry for spoiling the whole thing. But like, I thought it was so inspired.
Jackie
Yeah. And I think I'll still be able to enjoy it without the cliffhanger.
Claudia
Yeah. It also, it kind of came out of nowhere.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Like this deep sincerity. And I thought he was like about to make a joke and he didn't, which I liked. Like it was just. And to hear like one of those like, you know, like stereotypical like bro y podcasters talk so glowingly about fatherhood and family. It was so lovely.
Jackie
A lot of them like are fathers and family men.
Claudia
Yes. But like they don't talk about it. Like.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Even when he was talking about like his wife's body, he was still. It was funny. Like, he was like, you watch your wife get fingered. Like it's fudgeing weird. I'm sitting right here. It wasn't disrespectful, like, and it wasn't gross. Do you know what I mean?
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Like it was all positive, like all in awe, all inspiration. Very, very, like, you know, with lots of reverence.
Jackie
With lots of love. With love, Andrew.
Claudia
With love, Schultze.
Jackie
Everything I do, like, I'm last night with love.
Claudia
By the way. It's so good to like constantly be sending things out into the world with.
Jackie
Love, you know, it's so true. I made salmon bowls last night with love. Jacks.
Claudia
I saw that you were making seven balls. It kind of looks like you were making them with hate like that. It was just a lot of work.
Jackie
So I was making them with a bit of love and hate. Like I. They make it. They act like it's an easy thing to make. Like, oh. Because it's like just a bunch of ingredients.
Claudia
Who's they?
Jackie
Just like even the recipe maker. And you would think like assembling a bowl, it's not making a roast chicken, but it's just like a lot of chopping a lot of dishes. It was so worth it though. So worth it. Such a good.
Claudia
It looked parching.
Jackie
But next time what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bake the whole salmon. Like that's so easy. Just put it in a baking dish, cut it up, put it on the, on the bowl. And I still have some fixin so I think I'll make it again tomorrow. And I still have extra marinade so it's gonna be a breeze the second time around.
Claudia
You just reminded me I took your advice today. This morning actually.
Jackie
I started words, by the way. Just right. Just know, like nothing like scratches my brain than someone saying that.
Claudia
That's so fair. It's giving. Like, you were right.
Jackie
Yeah. Which advice of all did you take?
Claudia
You told me that I should do a what I eat in the day patreon, and I started it this morning. People are, like, genuinely, like, so, like, they're curious about what other people eat. But, like, for me, because, like, the ozempic of it all, I've always been asked to do it what I eat in the day. But, like, honestly, it's so toxic. People are like, you should be shut up. But now, like, being pregnant, I feel like it's even more interesting. And honestly, like, the vlog's gonna be three hours long because all I do is eat. So I started it this morning. Spoiler alert. I won't tell you what I had for breakfast, but I'm doing a what I eat in the day. It's gonna be for our patreon.
Jackie
I'm really excited to watch that. Especially, like. Yeah, I remember I saw one of my first forays into Matt and Abby was like, I got targeted for, like, Abby's what I eat in a day as a pregnant and breastfeeding mama. So she is so. And she works right, too. So that's like triple the appetite. Because you're so hungry when you're breastfeeding. You're so hungry when you're pregnant and when you work out. Oh, my goodness. I was sat.
Claudia
Well, it's interesting because now that you know someone's, like, going to be watching you eat, like, you. You're, you know.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Like, you're putting your best foot forward. And I'm really trying, like, not to lie.
Jackie
I'm just trying to be the paper plates you use.
Claudia
No, I did use a paper plate, but, like, I sat down and like I said, I usually sit at my countertop. Like, I sat at the dining room table. I, like, laid out all my things. I tried, but I'm really trying to be, like, super authentic. I know people, like, lie or embellish. You know, they just make it a little bit healthier or a little bit more well rounded. Like, I'm gonna be as honest as I can be, but the inclination to just, like, spruce it up is so real.
Jackie
Yeah, you want to put your best foot forward. I don't think that's such a bad thing. But, like, yeah, you do need to film, like, every handful that you grab from the cup yard. But then it's like you're filming. You're like, let's make a snack. So Ben was in the vlog actually inspires better behavior.
Claudia
It's.
Jackie
It's inspirational.
Claudia
Well, yeah, but then you have to do it every day. Cuz I'm in the vlog and I'm like, oh, I'm eating an orange. And Ben's like, do you. I'm like, do you want a slice? He's like, no, I don't eat before noon. I'm like, oh, okay. I'm like, wait, not you lying. Like, yeah, you do. We go to breakfast like at the diner, like, what the are you talking about?
Jackie
Oh, wow.
Claudia
And he's like, no, I'm not lying. And then he was like, you lied when you said you have fruit every day with your breakfast. I'm like, no, I do have like a piece of fruit every day. Like, and like we are already. Like now. I feel like people are gonna think I'm lying. I swear I'm not. I have fruit every morning.
Jackie
The thing is, you have earned our trust over the years. You are a trustworthy person.
Claudia
Thank you.
Jackie
Authentic influencer. So I'm going to believe what you say that you eat.
Claudia
He's like, I don't eat before noon. Sometimes even one. What the hell are you talking about?
Jackie
Okay, okay. The greatest.
Claudia
Meanwhile, he had already had like a coffee. His athletic green. So it's like he's like doing stuff.
Jackie
Yeah, no, he's like full of liquid. He like blends a cereal. It was just.
Claudia
He was lying.
Jackie
That's really funny. I guess we'll get Ben's what he eats in a day too. What are you gonna have for dinner?
Claudia
Well, I don't want to spoil it. We talked about it in the vlog.
Jackie
Oh, okay, cool. Don't spoil it. Because I'm actually like enjoying this vlog from afar and I look forward to watching it.
Claudia
So those were my. I had three things written down.
Jackie
Andrew Schultz, you know what I want to make tonight?
Claudia
What?
Jackie
A taquito? No, a crunch wrap.
Claudia
You would confuse those two things. And you should. It's really hard though.
Jackie
Like, I went to the tortilla aisle yesterday to start getting ingredients and like, what is the crunchy piece? You know what it's actually called on the recipe? A tostada.
Claudia
Yeah, the tostada.
Jackie
So where do I find that you make it?
Claudia
It's like a mini tortilla that you fry.
Jackie
Oh, okay. I bought mini tortillas.
Claudia
Yeah, and then you just fry it and that becomes like your cracker.
Jackie
I fry it like in a vat of oil.
Claudia
Yeah. I'm sure they sell like premade tostada. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. But here's the thing. Are you gonna put cheese in it?
Jackie
Sure.
Claudia
Okay, so I didn't put cheese in it, which makes it really hard because cheese is, like, the glue that keeps the whole thing together. And I don't like cheese. So Ben, like, has the hardest time assembling mine, but yours should be good. Follow Ben's recipe. He has a reel on his story.
Jackie
Okay.
Claudia
I mean, his Instagram.
Jackie
Maybe I'll FaceTime him for a consultation.
Claudia
Wow. I wasn't expecting to take a stray bullet. Today I opened up my iPad. You know they give you, like, a photo of the day.
Jackie
My photo.
Claudia
Oh, Theo, Rip, when I said a stray bullet, I meant it.
Jackie
That's so funny. I have an iPad. Actually, not this one. It's an old iPad that we use downstairs, and I don't have a lot of pictures there. And so whenever a picture comes up, it's, like, of Dan Schneider.
Claudia
Like, something that you used for the toast.
Jackie
Like, for the first week of the toast. It's like circles around his face.
Claudia
Ready? Yeah, ready. Similarly, I have the Applewhite family from Desperate Housewives.
Jackie
Let me see what's on this iPad.
Claudia
Oh, Theo getting a bath. This is, like, such random photos. Me and Ben dressed as Donna Kelsey. And then there's a ton of pictures of your kids, which I obviously won't show, but will enjoy myself.
Jackie
Yeah. Oh, like, a bunch of. Oh, my God. Like, so many accidental photos. Like.
Claudia
Yes, of course.
Jackie
Like this. I love this.
Claudia
That's beautiful.
Jackie
I think I should bring. I love this one. I love this one.
Claudia
Oh, my God. How cute am I. Coaches, you are beautiful.
Jackie
You are beautiful. Yeah.
Claudia
Coaches, you were beautiful. Yeah, that's right. My nephew said I was beautiful.
Jackie
Here's a picture of my sisters and my brother.
Claudia
I can't see what I'm looking at.
Jackie
I'm gonna crop out. Margot. Sorry, Sachi, can you see? Oh, I have all the, like, getty images from that Amazon party on. Oh, pargy photos.
Claudia
That is so funny.
Jackie
Real part.
Claudia

Turd back.
Claudia
I don't like that one. Makes me feel like, like big. Like a linebacker, a turd backer, you know.
Jackie
Okay, you can cut that.
Claudia
You can cut that one from your vocab.
Jackie
I won't say it again, but I don't regret saying it today because it's the perfect segue to our first story, which is some football news.
Claudia
Okay, let's talk about it.
Jackie
Apparently, I don't know if it's just, you know, things coming in threes or like if this is trade season, if this is the moment for trades, because.
Claudia
Who else got traded?
Jackie
Braxton.
Claudia
Oh, right, right.
Jackie
Two major trades in the sports ex girlies world. I'm actually sure other people probably got traded, but like we know about these two because they're for the girlies. So.
Claudia
Yeah. And also, like, I don't think actually Braxton's is like that big of a trade. I think someone in his position and his age gets traded. But like for us, you know, it's a big deal.
Jackie
Shake up the sports world.
Claudia
But they're not talking about it on espn.
Jackie
It shakes up the Earl world because of course, like her and Braxton got together both living In Miam, they live down.
Claudia
They've been like a Miami IT couple.
Jackie
Yeah. They've never like, had to be long distance or anything. So, like, if he's now going to the Texans, like, what does this mean for Braxton and Alex now? I personally think that, like, Alex really loves him so much.
Claudia
And me too.
Jackie
This is a one year contract worth $2 million. So I think it's nothing they can't handle and nothing that they won't get through. But I feel like people are like, is Alex moving to Houston? Probably not. I feel like other people might think they would break up over this. I really don't think so. I think she really loves him.
Claudia
Also, football is kind of the best sport to be in a relationship with because it's the shortest season. So he only needs to physically be in Houston for a certain amount of time. But I think people also really underestimate how busy Alix Earl is. Like, she makes it look fun and she's like, you know, a swirly. But she's like an extremely successful, booked and busy business person. And I don't think she can be going to Houston, you know, every week if she doesn't live there. And I don't think she's going to live there. But. But I do think this actually will be really challenging for them.
Jackie
I do think so too. But I think it's. It's just a year. Like, we'll see what happens after a year. I don't think this is like great news for Braxton's career.
Claudia
Me neither. But it is because his time at like the last season of his in Miami, he was out due to an injury and it was like a really serious injury. It could have been like a career ending one. So I think he rehabilitated himself really well. So the fact that he got a contract after such a big injury is like very promising.
Jackie
Yeah, but he's also. The Dolphins also stunk. They didn't even make it to the playoffs. So it's like, that's not practice fault.
Claudia
No, I agree that it doesn't like, bode super well for his career, but he's also that type of player. Like some players, you know, your job is to be a professional football player and you go to different teams all the time sometimes. Like up until recently for Kyle, you check like you're sort of a franchise the quarter sort of a franchise. He's like a team captain. He's kind of like a leader within his community. Sometimes you get that and that's so great for you and your Family because you don't have to move. But most football players, like, are more like Braxton. They get a year here. They're lucky if they get to. Their wife and kids just, like, move with them. So it's. It's not uncommon. But, like, the big ones were like, yeah, well, you know, Tom Brady was there for 50 years. Well, he's Tom Brady.
Jackie
Yeah. A lot of them do be. Boop bop. He had a nice sin in the Dolphins where he was able to meet his lady love, and hopefully they'll get through these tough times and maybe they'll even have some fun. That could be fun.
Claudia
Yeah. But let's talk about Kyle Use Check, because that kind of directly affects us more.
Jackie
Yes. So Kyle Use check was also traded from the 49ers.
Claudia
Well, he wasn't traded. He was released.
Jackie
Yeah. So hopefully with a trade coming.
Claudia
Yeah. So I had, like, done some research, and I remember hearing about this last year, Kyle, you said took a paycheck, a pay cut last year. Like, they had met with him to, like, restructure. He took a pay cut. I think he. I mean, he makes a lot of money. And I was also, like, being such a, like, curious kitten last night, like, looking at all of his different contracts. Like, he makes a lot of money. He could take a pay cut. So he took a pay cut.
Jackie
I think he, like, loves his life, you know, to.
Claudia
Right. Not having to move his family.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
And then this year, they, six days ago, had a restructuring meeting with him again. I think they were wanting him to take another pay cut, and they had said if they can't reach an agreement that he's going to be released. So I guess he wasn't willing to take another cut or whatever. They were asking him to concede. And so he is gone. And that's kind of a big deal for us because obviously he's a close personal friend and just, like a trusted resource here at the toast 2. It's why we're 40 90ers fans. Like, I guess we're not anymore.
Jackie
No. I mean, he brought us to the team, and now, obviously, like, we have roots there, and I, like, I have.
Claudia
Love for the Niners, but, like, Kyle, you check not being there, like, wherever he goes, just know. And this definitely, like, ups his value. Like, my fandom goes with him.
Jackie
It's true. But the thing about me is, like, I have so much love inside me for so many teams. Like, I'm a fan of a multiple team, and I could. I could take on one more. I'll take on all of them. When I have, like, when something happens where I, like, have a reason to like a team. Like, I, of course, love the Niners. We are a Cowboys family. I love the Florida teams because I'm Florida strong.
Claudia
I love all you love all the New York teams.
Jackie
I love all the New York teams, like hometown teams.
Claudia
Josh Allen.
Jackie
I love Josh Allen. I love the Chiefs because I'm a pop culture girl. I watched quarterback on Netflix, so I like Kurt Cousins.
Claudia
Classic.
Jackie
I like them all. So wherever he wants to go, I'll support him. And I have. And that makes it nice for me because I can buy all those shirts on Abercrombie for all the different teams that I love.
Claudia
Do you think that Kristen use checks brand? Because when she launched her brand, they only launched with, like, four or five teams. It was like the big teams and the Niners were obviously one of them because they're a big team, but also because that's obviously her husband's team. Do you think that they're going to drop the Niners from, like, their offerings? They only have, like, five teams.
Jackie
No. I think she has love in her heart for the Niners, but I think this will be an exciting moment. If she goes to a new team that they don't carry their jersey yet, it will be, like an exciting launch to do it with her brand. So I think she can make the most of it, for sure.
Claudia
I also think, I mean, he's 34, which isn't old, but it's not young. And I think that a lot of people were, like, saying if he was going to retire, I don't think that he will because if he was, when they released him, I'm sure they could have come to an agreement where he was just allowed to retire.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Yeah. Instead of being released. So I think he will play. He has plenty of years to play. He's super young.
Jackie
Yeah. I feel like Braxton's closer to retirement. He's 29.
Claudia
Yeah. He's also been plagued by injury. Like that. That counts to Kyle.
Jackie
There's more longevity in certain positions and others have the shorter shelf life.
Claudia
So Ben was explaining to me Kyle's position is a fullback, and he's been on the niner since 2017, which is, like, such an honor to be able to be on the same team for, like, eight years. And he's like, the captain. Everybody loves him. Like, it's like a real family over there. But they are. I don't know if they're, like, in a rebuild year, but Debo Samuel is gone. I Think there's talk about Brock. I was reading, like, some Adam Scheffler things yesterday. Like, I think they got to a place, like, two years ago where it was as good it was gonna get. And if they didn't win that super bowl two years ago with, like, Brock and everyone, like, everyone's getting older now, like, injuries, like, it wasn't gonna happen. So now it's time to, like, rejigger a little bit. And I think that's what this is. But Kyle's in a unique position because he's a fullback. And Ben was explaining that, like, that particular position, football is, like, sort of trending in a different direction now. I didn't really understand exactly what he was saying, but, like, fullbacks, like, not every team even has a fullback now.
Jackie
But he plays all different positions.
Claudia
He does. He was actually, like, a backup quarterback for the. He also went to Harvard and graduated with a 4.2 GPA. I did a lot of research on him last night. I was curious just honestly how much money he made because I'm so obnoxious.
Jackie
The 49ers also contracted someone called Luke Farrell. He's a tight end. Three years, $20 million. I think he might be the future.
Claudia
Well, that's interesting, because they have a very good tight end, George Kittle. Does that mean he's also on the chopping block?
Jackie
I think you can have more than one tight end. Look how many Travis has.
Claudia
Yeah, it's true. It's true.
Jackie
They also have Christian. Of course.
Claudia
Of course. But, like, that Christian's kind of been a blessing and a curse because he's so amazing. But he was injured this last season, and the 49ers went nowhere. He's like. He's, like, too good compared to the other players.
Jackie
Yeah. But that has to rely on him. That'd be like if Tom Brady got injured like the Patriots.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
Nowhere. So.
Claudia
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So where do you think Kyle's gonna go? I would love for him to come to New York. He's from New York.
Jackie
I feel like he.
Claudia
And Lord knows the jets could use, like, something.
Jackie
I don't think he should go to the Jets.
Claudia
I think he should go to the Chiefs, and that way, Taylor and Kristen could just be friends.
Jackie
Yeah. I think maybe he will go to Texans. Maybe they're acquiring.
Claudia
Oh, they're like an acquisitional year.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Yeah. This is so rising point. What's it called? Running point.
Jackie
This is so draft day. Oh, the best day of the year.
Claudia
I do really wonder where he's gonna go. I don't know anything about like the, like the landscape of teams. So I don't know who needs a fallback? But sound off in the comments show tonight.
Jackie
I'll let you know what they say.
Claudia
You're gonna listen to Colin Cowherd.
Jackie
I will eavesdrop. I will not actively listen, but hopefully. I don't know why he watches like Colin Cowherd more than Mike and Molly. Mike and Mike. Mike and Mike is the show pti. Pardon? Maybe he watches PTI like earlier in the day and I'm not around for it. Cuz that's like his number one. I will never understand is now his number one.
Claudia
I will never understand how there's like a successful sports show called pardon the interruption. And then also pardon my take also.
Jackie
Mike and Mike are different than pti. I just. Because it's Tony. Tony and Mike. And then I think there's another show called Mike and Mike that we don't watch.
Claudia
And then there's Big Cat. I know Big Cat.
Jackie
And then there's Jackson Claude.
Claudia
There's. There's never not been. There always will be.
Jackie
You know, we are Tony and Mike. Maybe that's why I like when he watches that one.
Claudia
I'm totally Tony, right?
Jackie
No, no, I'm so.
Claudia
Oh, you're so Tony. I don't even know who I like. I literally don't even know what these people look like.
Jackie
Tony like won't even get on an airplane. So like the other one like goes to like the super bowl and stuff and like does everything and Tony like will not get on.
Claudia
Oh, you're Tony. Tony's like the agoraphobic host and he's.
Jackie
Like older and he's just like sat giving his opinions.
Claudia
And the other ones are kind of like the correspondent liaison.
Jackie
Yeah, like you would probably recognize him. He's like. You would not recognize Tony because Tony.
Claudia
Got it. Got it. Well, they better watch their backs because Jackson Claude are definitely like emerging as leading voices in the sports world.
Jackie
It's true. I wonder though, I'm just gonna like head over to ESPN quickly. Like if other trades happened yesterday and we only know about these two because they affect us.
Claudia
No, I don't think yesterday was like a trade day. But you're right.
Jackie
We're definitely like in the season headline of ESPN 2025. NFL free agency winners and losers. 49ers, Jaguars, Patriots. Okay, so this was happening all over.
Claudia
Okay.
Jackie
So now you know that. Look out.
Claudia
Cool.
Jackie
Look out.
Claudia
That's the thing about sports. Like, I don't know how people have shows A completely dedicated to sports because, like, it does get boring. Like, the fun part's over. Like, Kyle was traded. Like, well, literally. What else is there to say? How do people do an hour long show?
Jackie
They do, like, predictions too, you know, when, like.
Claudia
And I guess they cover multiple leagues. Yeah.
Jackie
But like, you know, red carpet, like at the pre show, when they're really desperate, they're like, I think Jennifer Aniston's gonna wear this Runway. It's like, this is a complete waste of time. You realize that?
Claudia
Yeah, I swear. Spoke to Jennifer stylist and she wouldn't tell me what she was wearing. Okay, so why the are you sharing?
Jackie
She said, look out.
Claudia
That's so Zanna Roberts Rossi.
Jackie
But that's also what they do on these sports shows. Like, a game's coming up and they talk about what they think will happen.
Claudia
Like, what they analyze previous games too, truly.
Jackie
Are you ready for our next story?
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
One that you're really passionate about because you sent it to me on multiple channels, hoping I did.
Claudia
I wanted to make sure you didn't miss it because I have a spot special place in my heart for Neo. If you've ever seen him sing the national anthem, you know that nobody else should ever sing it again. Like, people are always like, whitney Houston's. Whitney Houston's is the best, and it is. But Neo's is a very, very close second. And he doesn't make news a lot. And when he does, you better sit down and listen.
Jackie
He made news yesterday because he has a special place in his heart for his four girlfriends.
Claudia
Multiple. Yeah.
Jackie
He introduced his four girlfriends from his polyamorous relationship yesterday. Neo is not ashamed of his polyamorous lifestyle. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, he introduced fans to the four women he's currently in a relationship, urging critics to say something nice or move on with their lives. Since the world is so intrigued, he said, I guess I should introduce my loves properly. Ladies and gents, I present my pyramid.
Claudia
And he tags them all on Instagram like lab. Being a really supportive boyfriend, if that's the right word. I don't know. Let me tell you, I didn't expect this from Neo.
Jackie
Does it change, like, how you feel about his national anthem?
Claudia
No. No. Does it change just, like, how I think of him in general? Yes.
Jackie
Does it change like, the place in your heart that he was holding.
Claudia
A little honestly, like, this is really crazy. And it sounds like he was gonna be exposed because he was like, since everybody wants to be knowing, like, here it is. Like, he releases information, begrudgingly like, with a gun to his head.
Jackie
Yeah. Or like, people were like, I saw him with her, and I saw him with her. So they thought, like, he had something. And he was like, well, you don't.
Claudia
He was getting a reputation as, like, a philanderer. Meanwhile, he said, jokes on you. Yeah. Now, I don't know anyone polyamorous. I've never met anyone polyamorous, so I don't know how it works, but I've.
Jackie
Obviously come across your wives, and you love sister wives. Okay.
Claudia
I wouldn't say I love sister eyes, but, yes, I know the sister eyes, and I did watch. And honestly, I think that they are a testament to why polygamy should never be a thing. They were the most toxic group of people. I believe half the marriages are now over. Once that Robin entered. Oh, it was over. Like, Robin was the beginning of the end. You know, I don't know who the Robin is of this particular group. I'm sure maybe we get a reality show. We need TLC to, you know, pick up cameras.
Jackie
Yeah. If we do. If this is going to happen and, you know, we're not allowed to say something unkind, or else we have to move on and.
Claudia
Well, I think we could say unkind things.
Jackie
He said, say something nice or move on, so.
Claudia
Oh, you're saying. Because Neo told us.
Jackie
Neo said that. And I'm trying. I haven't said anything not nice. But anyways, I'm saying if this is going to happen, it's out there. And, like, this is, like, we should get a show because.
Claudia
Yeah, it would be a great show. I. I don't know how this works now. I'm obviously thinking about it, like, if I had four husbands.
Jackie
That's an interesting way to think about.
Claudia
Sounds like a lot of cleaning and a lot of just, what if you.
Jackie
Had a husband who was a designated cleaner? Kind of awesome.
Claudia
Oh, that's nice. To kind of enter a polyamorous relationship where everybody serves a purpose.
Jackie
Like, one is the maid, one is.
Claudia
The chef, one is the butler. Oh, you know what?
Jackie
And I mean, I guess it's just, like, you really love and you just want to hang out with. And so, like, everyone else is, like, making that happen.
Claudia
But that's the Robin effect. Like, that's really. And that's when it becomes so toxic. And then when you start having children with multiple partners, it really gets complicated. So polyamory is all fun and games until we're reproducing. Honestly.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
I don't judge, but, like, I do a little.
Jackie
It's complicated, you know, and yeah, I don't envy, but you don't hear about.
Claudia
Sister husbands like you only hear about sister wives.
Jackie
It's, it's true.
Claudia
And I need to start seeing more women in male dominated fields like polyamory and polygamy.
Jackie
But I feel like you sometimes hear of women who like, they wouldn't call it sister husbands, brother husbands, but like they're spinning a web.
Claudia
Yeah, but you're saying like a throuple, but it's always multiple women.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Because I'm thinking about like I sometimes end up on like strange tick tocks of like my husband's girlfriend and it's always my husband's girlfriend. Like there's no my husband. It's not my. My wife's boyfriend.
Jackie
Yeah. Or like it's like my wife's girlfriend, like from Ruby. Frankie.
Claudia
Correct.
Jackie
That happens.
Claudia
So I mean, it's not for me. Different strokes for different folks. I have never been with multiple partners in my life and this is really crazy, but I did like how he really got up on his platform and supported all of his women tagging their Instagrams and like, where to follow them.
Jackie
Like, rising tides raise all sides.
Claudia
It's, it's. They could start like a little bit of like a kind of a business empire.
Jackie
Yeah. If they've got.
Claudia
That's one reason.
Jackie
Entrepreneurial spirit.
Claudia
That's one reason to do it.
Jackie
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Claudia
You know, I do know.
Jackie
What more can you say? Are you ready for our next story?
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
A little lured and vistraving. Nope. Lured and this spotting or lured and traversing. I think they're all bad.
Claudia
Yeah, me too. I think we should get to the story.
Jackie
Yeah. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey were spotted in Park City, Utah, keeping a low profile on a dinner date after reconnecting on their romantic getaway. So Lure and Viz have not been spotted in a while. We knew they were on a vacation, but really weren't spotted at all. But they have just been seen in Utah getting into a car after a dinner date in Park City.
Claudia
Yeah. I don't know where. I think we like all just sort of assumed they were on vacation. I don't know where I thought they were, but it wasn't Utah. Although it does make sense because when you think about like this time of.
Jackie
Year and then they went to Utah. I think they did the sand and then the snow.
Claudia
Oh, well, when you think about this time of year, like, where do cool people go? Like they go to like Aspen, but it's so sceney. And it's so small. Like, they wouldn't be able to really hide away there. And Utah is kind of famous for its, like, ability. You could really go and hide there. Like, it's so big. It's so vast. It's not really sceny, but it's the same party vibes. Like Aspen, Coco. Yeah, I don't think that. I don't think that they do. Like, Taylor, first of all, is like, her body's insured for, like, $11 million. You know, it's not.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
It's not a smart business move. And Travis cannot be getting injured in the off season. That's, like, the dumbest thing you could do as an athlete.
Jackie
I don't feel like professional athletes ski for a number of reasons. I actually feel like they're not built for it. And, yes, it's a liability. I actually like a tennis player on skis.
Claudia
A tennis player could ski like that. Agility, hand, eye coordination. But big.
Jackie
That's, like, not tall. When I said professional athlete.
Claudia
No, I know, but we're talking about basketball players, football players, hockey. They definitely do not ski. No, because tennis players do.
Jackie
Girly.
Claudia
No, it's not really girly. Like, you need to be really coordinated. And actually, when you're that big, you're not really capable of extreme coordination.
Jackie
No. And you have to be very nimble. Light on your feet. Yeah. Meanwhile, hand eye coordination. Heavy on his feet.
Claudia
Yeah. No. So I don't know what the hell they do in Utah. They definitely go snowmobiling.
Jackie
Cute.
Claudia
They probably just, like, cuddle up and, like. Yeah, yeah.
Jackie
So that's really cute. And.
Claudia
And this is like, the first time. I feel like every time they leave a restaurant, no matter where they are, it's like thousands of people outside. But the video of them leaving, like, it's literally the worst video ever. They're just, like, running into a white Range Rover. So it can be done if they want to live, like, a low profile kind of life.
Jackie
But I think that's also just Park City.
Claudia
I don't know. They have Sundance there. Like, it's. It can be fabulous.
Jackie
No, no, I didn't. I didn't say it wasn't fabulous whatsoever. I just think it's, like, low key and not everyone's up your butt and you could just. It's more private.
Claudia
Yeah. So, yeah, we vacation in Park City, too. Where do you think they were before?
Jackie
Like, someone's like, all the.
Claudia
Yeah, because all the places that, like, people, like, everybody goes to St. Barts.
Jackie
This time of year.
Claudia
It's the same as Aspen. Like, it's so small. It's so sceny. You would know if they were there. It's like teaming with people. Yeah, they definitely go to someone's island. Like a Richard Branson type of thing.
Jackie
Yeah. Well, welcome back. Hopefully you don't get traded. It's trade season.
Claudia
Bon voyage.
Jackie
Are you ready for our next story?
Claudia
Does that mean it's number three?
Jackie
No, it's number four.
Claudia
Oh, I really thought it was. Oh, number four. Yeah, I'm ready.
Jackie
It's actually really crazy story. If my iPad will reload. It's like people that I ordinarily wouldn't care about, but they did something really crazy because Lauren Graham from.
Claudia
Yeah. Got Lorelei Gilmore.
Jackie
From Gilmore Girls. From Gilmore Girls.
Claudia
Did you just have a stroke?
Jackie
No, no, I was just trying to think of Gilmore Girls. And also my ad on page six will let me see the story.
Claudia
She is from Gilmore Girls, but like, to me, she's from the Pacifier.
Jackie
She let it slip. The father of May Whitman's baby, Mae Whitman is her Parenthood co star and she had a baby and she hasn't said who the baby daddy is. And Lauren Gilmore was on Armchair Expert and is prattling on about May and her baby daddy, who. Who is a famous person and their plans.
Claudia
Oh, yikes.
Jackie
So Lauren Graham identified Carlos Valdez as the father of May's six month old, an unarmed chair expert. She played May's mom on Parenthood for six seasons and she was attempting to recall the last time that they saw each other. So she said they're in New York now. Carlos, her baby daddy is on Broadway in Hadestown, which I feel happy to plug because he's fantastic in it. Carl.
Claudia
Oh, not her thingy. She's doing them a favor.
Jackie
Carlos Valdez.
Claudia
Say it again.
Jackie
So they're in New York for the next while and then she got this job in Ireland. So she's in Ireland with the baby.
Claudia
Like, why is she talking about somebody else's family schedule?
Jackie
Are you crazy now?
Claudia
And this is obviously not done with bad intent, you know, because she loves this person. But seriously, May Whitman is definitely so mad for some people. I guess, like, if you're following Parenthood or if you like have followed May Whitman, which I haven't. But people do. Like, they really like her. This is kind of like a Mindy Kaling, like, who's the baby? Like, and I guess I don't know if we were meant to never know or just like not know for a little while, but this is really Bad. How do you apologize to somebody, like, for this?
Jackie
I don't know, but this is really crazy. Like, I feel obviously terrible for May because this is not what she wanted. I feel bad for the pit that Lauren Graham is going to have when.
Claudia
She realizes actually in this situation, I know she's the villain, but I actually.
Jackie
Feel worse for her because as you said, it wasn't done with bad intent, but it's just like. It's mindlessness, you know? I mean, what do you think? You go on a podcast, you just start, like, rambling on about someone else's life.
Claudia
So random. And it's like, she's an older woman. So, like, older people just, like, slip things out, you know?
Jackie
Yeah. Unless it was like, so you can't.
Claudia
Like, yell at her.
Jackie
Unless, like, everyone knew who May was with and she just hadn't shared it yet. But it wasn't, like, top secret, like, because they are together so you could spot them together or some. You know, maybe it's like, not the biggest deal. It's just something that we didn't know yet. But again, I'm not following it closely, but this is not how you ever want it to come out.
Claudia
Somebody who watched, like, two seasons of Gilmore Girls, and my biggest takeaway was that Lorelei was the fucking worst. This is such Lorelei behavior. Like, oh, sorry, like what? Like, I don't know, like, I'm a single mom. Like, I don't know, like, she's just, like, so, like, rattled and like, like, just always, like, up.
Jackie
Yeah. And I feel like I felt even bad, like, repeating the name when I was.
Claudia
I know, but it's that our Responsibility.
Jackie
Expert is a bigger podcast than this one, so, like, more people there. But, like, Carlos Valdez could go on to win an Oscar now. And, like, I'll never feel comfortable saying his name because, like, I know I'm not supposed to.
Claudia
And Carlos Valdez could actually come up and, like, kiss me on the street and I still wouldn't know who he is.
Jackie
Well, he was May's co star in up here in 2023.
Claudia
Again, I know very little about May Whitman. I just, like, know her face.
Jackie
And May Whitman is from duff. Okay, but. And then who's the girl? I know it's not her, but, like, they have a. Yeah, yeah.
Claudia
Bailey Madison.
Jackie
What? You said.
Claudia
Oh, Bailey Madison.
Jackie
Oh, no, I know Bali.
Claudia
Yeah, she's like the kid from Grown Ups. They have the same face.
Jackie
No, to me, the girl from Arrested Development May be fun. K. Oh.
Claudia
Oh, that's her name in the show.
Jackie
That's her name in the show. She's Tobias's and Lindsay's daughter. Maybe. Which is why I confuse her with May Whitman.
Claudia
Understood. And then do you also confuse her with Molly?
Jackie
Maybe never. There's only one. My sweater today is maybe just so everyone knows.
Claudia
She's so cute. That is like the most niche reference. I literally have no idea what you're talking about up until you saw that.
Jackie
I just. I do feel really justified for why I confused them because May and maybe are similar. And maybe Funke is played by Aaliyah Shockett. Just so you know.
Claudia
Maybe Funke, like, I can't wait.
Jackie
But then also Mae Whitman. Who's that? She's in this show. She plays Anne.
Claudia
Jackie, May Whitman is who we're talking about.
Jackie
Let's see.
Claudia
This story is about. Are you okay? So I was right.
Jackie
She is from aggressive element. She plays Anne like George Michael.
Claudia
Oh, she doesn't play. Maybe she hasn't played. Maybe.

Yes, of course. Oh, that's been with it.

Jackie
Our fifth and final story is potentially the loser is news we've ever reported on.
Claudia
Oh, my God. I knew, like, literally, category of news that I live for losers.
Jackie
Do you know what the story is?
Claudia
No.
Jackie
I mean, you know the story, but I don't know if you know that this is the one. James Kennedy is apologizing for posting a photo with the Tate brothers. He says, I condemn their beliefs. So in the last few days.
Claudia
But do you?
Jackie
James Kennedy posted a photo with Andrew and Tristan Tate, I think, who are.
Claudia
Like, I honestly don't know a lot about them, but they're like, highly controversial, awful people. They're, like, toxic, man. Like, rape is cool. Like, they're really crazy. They're like Romanian.
Jackie
It's just absurd. Like, you could look into them. But I'm sure most people have heard of them. They're not, you know, and let's be.
Claudia
Real, the Tate brothers. Nobody knows the other brother. It's Andrew Tate and his brother.
Jackie
Yeah, but Tristan is the one clapping back at James. This saga is seriously.
Claudia
I don't know. What event were they at?
Jackie
I don't know where. They were. Something in Vegas. James posted a photo of him and both brothers and said, like, this is a bitcoin. Something like that.
Claudia
Okay, it must be like, some reference from their losery ass online Persona that I don't know. And he got his ass eaten. To him. Like, people were like, are you fucking kidding me?
Jackie
Of course he did so much backlash. So he immediately put out an apology, saying, I regret posting a photo with the Tate brothers at an event last night. I was unfamiliar with their content and the allegations against them. I only knew them as podcasters who had posted a viral clip about Vanderpump. He said, I have since educated myself and condemned their beliefs. I am sorry to all that I offended. Okay?
Claudia
So when that was the end of it, I was like, listen, you need to do better. But, like, you're seriously like, James. I don't know what we're looking for when it comes to, like, James Kennedy. Like, these aren't, like, the smartest people. I was like, okay, you know what? Like, I could see that being the reality. Sure, go off, King.
Jackie
But then Tristan, the brother responded. The loser brother sounded to James, claiming that James, quote, begged and kissed my ass for 30 minutes straight and called me a hero. He knew exactly who I was and what content he made. Then he said that James is just a pussy. Who can't handle. Handle DMS from woke our words. Fuck this guy. He said.
Claudia
Okay, I just want to say, like, this is so funny. It is the definition of loser on loser crime. And if that is the case, like, I bet James Kennedy, like, never thought, like, his little Internet drama was going to make it back to the Tate brothers and they would be able to, like, directly refute his, you know, sequence of events. And this is so embarrassing for everyone, but, like, really for James.
Jackie
This is so embarrassing for James. I. A part of me feels like maybe what Tristan said, like, isn't true, and he's just saying that to, like, really embarrass. Embarrass James, because, like, we don't. We won't know. And maybe I'm not to give James the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't love the Tate brothers, but I just feel like that's such a funny, like, mean, like, thing to do to someone who's now, like, want to take a picture with you. And even if he had just seen podcast clips of Vanderpump whatever, like, oh, now you're gonna diss me. Oh, I'll fudgeing drag you and say this about you. Even we have no way to know if that's true or not. So it's just, like, he made James look seriously so stupid. Whether it's true or not true, like, James is a loser, is taking the.
Claudia
L. And the funny thing is, like, I don't know who to believe. Right. I also don't care. Like, right? No, I just. This is so low stakes. Like, losers gonna lose. And you just love to watch them, like, slinging mud at one another. Like, I bet in no universe to James Kennedy think that, like, this Bravo corner, because it wasn't, like, widespread backlash, like, Arianimatics unfollowed him. It was very contained within the Bravo universe. And I bet he never thought, like, it would make its way.
Jackie
Even I'm in the Bravo universe. I didn't see it until Tristan responded, and then it became a story of, like, the whole story. The. The photo, the apology, and the response.
Claudia
Hysterical.
Jackie
Hysterical stuff. If James was holding out hope to get on the Valley or Vanderpump reboot, it's not gonna happen.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
I think he's pissed off absolutely everyone with this entire trajectory.
Claudia
Yeah. From start to finish.
Jackie
Like, pissed off people who dislike the Tate brothers and now also pissed off people who like the Tate brothers. So that includes everyone.
Claudia
The Tate brothers themselves. All right, let's dive into Deer Toasters, our weekly advice segment where Jackson. I try to help out the swirlies in need, and they are in need.

Jackie
I'm ready.
Claudia
I lost my.
Jackie
Are you ready?
Claudia
Ready?
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Which one was this? Okay, ready? Hey. Are you ready?
Jackie
Ready? Hey.
Claudia
Jackson Turney. My PJM husband has decided to get braces. He had the initial consultation, and the orthodontist gave him two options. Real braces or Invisalign. Real braces are slightly more expensive. They will get his teeth almost 100% straight, and they will be on for 18 months. Invisalign are cheaper. They will get his teeth about 80% straight, and they'll be on for 12 months. Much to my dismay. He wants to go with the more effective option and get a full metal mouth. Obviously, I'm leaning towards Invisalign. His justification is that he's married, he has no one to impress, and he doesn't really care what people say or think. My justification is that he's married to me, he has me to impress, and all I care about is what people say and think. To add to all of this, we are very social people. His sister's getting married next year. We both have jobs that require a lot of facetime with clients outside the office. Now, if I really take a step back, I do admire how confident he is, but, like, can't we show the world our secure sense of self in a different way? Am I being vain, naggy bitch, or am I totally justified in pushing him towards Invisalign help? P.S. i'm an OG listener. Like, first ever episode with the block desks. I love you guys so much.
Jackie
Okay, so many conflicting things here. Like actual hypocrisy. I just want to say, because on the one hand, I'm like, oh, go off, King. I'm married. I have no one to impress. Like, I love that for you that you want to look look dopey and you don't care. But then why does it matter so much, too, if you fix them 90% versus 80%.
Claudia
What's wrong with 80 or 100? I just want to say I'm so with this girl. I'm sorry.
Jackie
I'm so with this girl too. First of all, this line is cheaper, it's shorter, and will fix your teeth. 80%. What man needs perfectly straight teeth? Who needs perfect anything? 80% teeth is good. Like, what's. Do you see?
Claudia
It's so trash. It's good enough.
Jackie
Like, what's with the perfection? So for him to be like, brazen enough to walk around with braces on calls and then socializing for 18 months, but not brazen enough to walk around with 80% teeth as opposed to 90%.
Claudia
It's actually an amazing point.
Jackie
Contradictory, of course. He needs to do Invisalign. How could you look at your husband with the braces?
Claudia
No, I'm sorry. And I thought that people did the metal braces because they were cheaper.
Jackie
I thought they were cheaper and quicker. And it's a. Yeah. Amount of time. But like, which I kind of get, like, oh, let's just get it over with.
Claudia
Yeah. Of course. It'll be six hard months.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Yeah. I thought that's whenever I saw like an adult with full metal braces, I thought it was like, the more economical and the more effective option.
Jackie
This is giving, like a braces fetish.
Claudia
Okay.
Jackie
They're probably also fine. And he just wants braces.
Claudia
But I do want to say to.
Jackie
This girl who's like, wants their teeth to be bad because they want braces. Because they.
Claudia
Yes. Before I push you towards Invisalign, even though you're already there, I also need you to know Invisalign is. Is not a perfect experience. Like, watching your partner slip them out of their mouth like between meals is one of the most disgusting things on the planet. Like, having seen like a grown ass adult take out their Invisalign. It's actually one of the most traumatizing things on the planet. So just be ready for that. It's obviously not nearly as bad as metal mouth, full brace face. But just know it's not perfect either.
Jackie
No, but like, you guys can come up with solves. Like, maybe he knows that when he's doing that, like, you'll go wash your hands. Like, you don't have to see it. Maybe you're setting the table. Maybe he does it in the bathroom. Like, there are ways around it, but it sounds like he wants braces and it's becoming less of a dental issue and more of a mental issue. I love that dental. More mental.
Claudia
Maybe he needs to see a therapist, not a dentist. Okay. This one's actually serious, so we need to like, change our Vibes.
Jackie
Hold on.
Claudia
Hello, ladies. This is a long one, so buckle up. Ten years ago, I had a sibling go to prison for sleeping with someone underage. He was a teacher. I was still in high school at the time. For about two years after that, I still supported him and I attempted to maintain a relationship. Well, some more family drama went down about eight years ago, and I officially cut ties with him. Since then, I've graduated college, I've gotten engaged and married. My parents, who have been divorced for 20 years, keep pushing me to forgive him and try to have a relationship again with him. He recently had a baby, and for the last year, I've considered not forgetting, but willing to try and have a relationship with him for the sake of everyone. My problem is I'm really going back on my morals if I form a relationship with him. And honestly, is it even worth it? The strain of my family is really starting to take a toll on me. And frankly, I feel like an outsider because my family is all happy go luckily around him. And I always get that you should give him another chance. Comment. I'm not willing to cut out my parents, so any advice would be great. P.S. my husband's family knows that I have a sibling that I don't talk to, but they do not know why.
Jackie
So go back. He had a relationship with an underage person. He was a teacher, and he went to jail for it.
Claudia
Yeah, but did she say jail? Yeah. Prison. Yeah. So even two years after that, like, she maintained a relationship with him. She was like a young girl in high school.
Jackie
But then other family drama. She went. Went down, she said, and now she can't.
Claudia
And then she stopped talking to him.
Jackie
But even right after, and he went to prison, like, she was able to talk to him. So something else happened that we don't know. I'm sorry, I can't wait in on this. I don't know.
Claudia
Well, you know what? I know what I recommend. Kathy Griffin went on the Skinny Confidential podcast a million years ago, and I saw a clip from it. She was talking about she had a brother who was a pedophile. And, like, how hard that was for her. Like, he was like a full blown pedophile. It was like a big family secret. And, you know, her parents, like, were very, like, not forgiving but, like, open and wanting to help. And she was, like, very against it. And then he ended up taking his own life. It's a really crazy story, and I think there's probably a lesson there, like, how she dealt with it because she had this. She's coming from, like, a moral standpoint, too. She's like, yeah, well, he's my brother, but I don't care. Like, you're a pedophile.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
And he was, like, married at the time. I would listen to that podcast episode. That's my piece of advice.
Jackie
It's not even apples to apples.
Claudia
No, of course not. But, like, if you have someone in your family who is a criminal, right? And there are different crimes. Like, if I had someone in my family who was, like, a financial criminal, I wouldn't be upset. I would say, help me, you know? But, like, they're different crimes. Right? Like. Right, right. Want to do my taxes. So I think that you're not the only person who's ever had a family member who's done something bad. Sometimes you can forgive, sometimes you can't, so.
Jackie
Or not even forgive, but just, like, move forward in a cordial way while never being as close as you could potentially be. I don't know.
Claudia
I just want to say, like, if you never want to talk to your brother again, like, that's fine, too. Like, it's nice that your family's, like, all, like, rehabilitating him and stuff, but, like, that's not your job. And if you don't want to talk to him ever again, like, I support you too.
Jackie
But the thing is, the reason that she doesn't want to talk to him again is not even because of what he did, because she spoke to him after. So it's about.
Claudia
No. She said, no, I'm going back on my morals if I form a relationship with him.
Jackie
No, go back to the beginning. We. I visited him and spoke to him for two years, but then family drama happened, and now we don't speak. What's that?
Claudia
Yes. Yes. But I think what she was saying was, like, she was in high school, and so she had a brother who did something wrong, and she's still, like, was his friend. And then maybe two years later, she had some sort of reckoning with this drama, and now she has, like, Tad takes a moral stance against it.
Jackie
Okay, well, you gotta trust your gut and go with your scruples. But I. To be honest, I don't. I don't know him. I. I couldn't.
Claudia
Yeah, I recommend.
Jackie
Be like, he's bad. Don't talk. You know, but like, family.
Claudia
It's. It's very complicated. I would listen to Kathy Griffin, but this girl doesn't even have an inkling. Like, she's decided she doesn't want to have a relationship with him, but it's like, how does she navigate her family? She now feels like an outsider, which is wrong because the pedophiles should feel like an outsider.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
Not you. That sucks. Our third and final is such a departure. I should have done that last. That one last. Because, like, we just need to rejigger. This one's so different.
Jackie
Okay, I'm ready.
Claudia
Jackson. Claude. Help. I'm married into a family that thinks farts are funny. My mother in law farts around me somewhat regularly and it makes everyone in my husband's family laugh. Not me. It makes me sad. And I literally can't find what they think is funny. What do I do? I don't want to seem like a giant bitch, not laugh at her farts, but I wasn't raised in a bar. How do you think I should handle this situation? I'm writing to you as I'm sitting next to my husband who's farting hot fire gas, cracking himself up. Please help. P S. I just showed him this plea for help and he left, got up to go to bed, loudly farted, and then left himself back to the bedroom. Chivalry is dead.
Jackie
Oh, my God. I just want to say I am you in this situation so I can really empathize. Because if.
Claudia
No, but you're. But like, your in laws don't like.
Jackie
Far in front of you in the sense that, like, if I was in your situation, I would feel the way you do. Like, I'm not like fart friendly.
Claudia
I just want to say I'm fart friendly and I would feel if my mother in law farted in front of me. I'm sorry. I don't care who you are.
Jackie
Reset.
Claudia
I'm actually very comfortable. Like, Ben farts in front of me. I fart in front of Ben. Like, I don't care. But like, that's a marriage. That's a sacred space. So, like, that story you told at the end is actually quite funny. The in laws.
Jackie
No, if I may say, I am coming at this from someone who is not fart friendly. So I empathize with you. And if I were in your situation, I would feel the way you do do. But looking at the big picture, like, they're having fun, you know?
Claudia
Yeah. And like you're not.
Jackie
They're sitting there laughing. It's like so harmless. The only issue I see potentially arising is that, like, your children will inherit and, you know, do this with their half their family and like, they'll be these people and like, good luck getting married.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
That's unfortunate. Well, he got Married to her. So.
Claudia
Yeah.
Jackie
But their spouses won't ever hear their mother in law fart because you won't do it. So that's better.
Claudia
Yeah. Like do you really want to be like a wet blanket? Because if you want it to be, you could tell your husband like in a really serious way, like, this needs to stop. And when you go to your in.
Jackie
Laws, this is their family tradition. Like you can't.
Claudia
You literally, if you say anything, you look so juvenile. Like you can't say anything.
Jackie
So like at least find the joy in it. Like they're having fun. And also now it's like you don't have to be scared of your mother in law. Like you heard her fart. Like that takes the pressure off.
Claudia
I mean that's just like a really crazy thing to do.
Jackie
No, it's so crazy. But it's like not in an A fairy. It's not crazy nefarious.
Claudia
It's right. Right.
Jackie
Crazy joyful, joyful, joyful.
Claudia
Lord, we adore.
Jackie
You know, at least smell.
Claudia
At least they're like fun loving people.
Jackie
It's crazy smelly and it's crazy immature.
Claudia
It's wild.
Jackie
But it's not crazy bad.
Claudia
Yeah. I mean of all the things like your mother in law could do and say in front of you, it's really.
Jackie
Better than the in laws who massage each other.
Claudia
Correct.
Jackie
Crazy.
Claudia
Creepy crazy.
Jackie
You know those like grids that it's like lawful, good, lawful, neutral, lawful bad.
Claudia
Like I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jackie
I'll show you because this is how I'm. This is how I'm measuring these in law behaviors. Lawful, good, grid.
Claudia
If I may, like never heard of this.
Jackie
Yeah. Like I have to find an example. This one is of characters from Marvel, so that wouldn't be good for you. But you might be able to understand it if I send you this. It's a Harry Potter one, but.
Claudia
Oh, don't send me anything. I don't have any devices today. My phone's in the other room.
Jackie
Wait, should I bring it?
Claudia
We can't communicate if you, if you really care that much.
Jackie
And yes, may I present it to the class? Okay. Can you understand?
Claudia
So stupid. I've never seen this before. Okay, we'll talk about.
Jackie
Fine. But I do think that now we should categorize your toasters as these things. So. Yeah, this is.
Claudia
Life isn't perfect. You're going to have to put up with random things. So if this is something you're putting up with, like you're fine.
Jackie
This is chaotic Neutral.
Claudia
Oh, I like that.
Jackie
Right?
Claudia
It's chaotic neutral.
Jackie
Yeah, yeah, Chaotic neutral farts go away.
Claudia
They don't leave like lasting damage.
Jackie
Well, it could get a little smelly. That's a little. That's the chaos in the neutrality.
Claudia
Right. But the neutrality is that the smell goes away and they're having fun and.
Jackie
They'Re good, joyful people.
Claudia
If everything else is fine, which I assume, like if you didn't write in that your mother in law wasn't also like a huge, like you're fine.
Jackie
Also, how can your husband fart on command?
Claudia
Also, what are these people eating? Like, obviously farting is super healthy and natural, but like, you shouldn't be able to a to it on command and be like, you can't get together for dinner without farting.
Jackie
Yeah.
Claudia
But no, I'm worried about their gastrointestinals.
Jackie
Maybe when there's a meal where like everyone has like we had chili for dinner, then they just like sit around and fart and laugh. But it's not every meal. Right.
Claudia
Like, if I really were looking for like major concerns here, my concern would be like the diets and gastrointestinal issues of your in laws.
Jackie
My concern was how did your husband perfectly comedically time that fart on his way out the door?
Claudia
Maybe it was just like God was with him in that moment, you know, or he has real issues. He might have like ibs.
Jackie
I'm laughing at him. Laughing, farting.
Claudia
When I read this email for the first time, I was cracking up.
Jackie
Oh, see, like you're missing out on the fun. Yeah.
Claudia
No, and like I'm having fun and I'm not even a part of his family. Yeah. Thank you to everyone who wrote into Dear Toasters. As always, just like a fad journey to be on a joy.
Jackie
Except for the brother.
Claudia
Oh, yeah.
Jackie
And what makes you think we would be an expert in that?
Claudia
Like, I think when you're in that type of situation, like, you literally have nowhere else to turn.
Jackie
Sometimes it does take an outsider.
Claudia
Yeah. And I did check for an update from our swirlies. Excuse me. With the husbands who are sending nude photos of them and nothing.
Jackie
Okay, so we figured that. Because I know that when there is an update, like you will share. So you just brought that.
Claudia
You're saying I'd have to keep bringing it up.
Jackie
To keep bringing it up and like ruining the day and the end of the show.
Claudia
I just want to let you guys know I am checking.
Jackie
We know.
Claudia
Okay. I feel like the audience so lazy.
Jackie
If you got an update, you wouldn't even wait till Tuesday to share it. You would share it when you got it.
Claudia
I would, but I really only check on Monday nights. That's our show. You guys, I have to blow my nose so I'm not doing this whole long rigmarole. Love you.
Jackie
Love you By.
