Good morning, girlies. It's the Toast. It's Jackson Claude, and we're your host.
B
It's your favorite show.
A
The Fast 5 things you need to know.
B
We'll start your day off Swirly. It's the Toast.
A
I sound amazing.
B
Welcome back to the Toast and Happy Friday. Or as we, as the school kids say, Friday.
A
The coolest. Only the coolest people could say something like that.
B
And only somebody so creative, thoughtful, and original could even come up with a word like fry. Yay.
A
Because it's like Friday, but we're excited. So we say.
B
We say yay. Yeah, exactly.
A
It's very complex stuff.
B
I know I seem joyful, but. Because that's just who I am at my core.
A
And actually what's going on beneath the surface. Turtle Loo.
B
My sponsored athletes lost last night. Not to make everything about me, but I was obviously crushed. They fought to the very end. They played amazing. This is just the beginning of an illustrious tennis career. But I'm more so sad. Cause, like, I was really looking forward to every night this week. I've just, like, gotten in bed and watched her match and been so invested in something and then gotten everybody else excited about it. So I'm just sad that, like, I don't have anything to watch tonight. You know?
A
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. The Spritz Boys went further than anybody thought that they. Except for us. Because we believe in our athletes, even the power of Spritz. And we just knew that they would excel. That's why we chose them. Like, we saw something in them that.
B
Right.
A
Sponsors didn't correct. And it was a moment in time and it was beautiful. And I think there's great things on the horizon for the Spritz Boys. And if we don't have these moments of, like, challenge and strife.
B
Yeah.
A
And not winning, like, the wins are going to be so much sweeter when they come.
B
A thousand percent. That's really beautiful. So thanks to everybody who went on the journey with us. Of course, thanks to Spritz Boys for just, like, playing their asses off. And we'll see you again next year. Honestly, we'll see you at Wimbledon. Like, I think maybe Spritz needs to sponsor a trip where we go to Wimbledon.
A
I think so. That feels right.
B
Or like the Australian Open. Even though Spritz is, like, such a small company, no offense, like, they would have us flying coach and, like, staying in a hostel. I'm just based on budgets. So I think it's gonna be a self funded Trip.
A
We'll fly our. Thanks. Thanks, Spritz. I love your cake, Spritz.
B
So today is Friday. Oh, sorry. Friday. And even though it was a tough loss last night, I'm obviously just excited to be back on the horn with my girls. I had such an exciting morning. I guess Emily Oster heard us talking about her on the toast yesterday, and she posted about us on her Instagram, which is just huge, you know, for any, you know, moms who follow her who. Who don't know about the toast, they're about to find the most amazing podcast. That was just exciting to, like, be seen by someone. But she tagged me in an Instagram story, and that means that, like, I can ask Emily Oster anything. I'm sure she's gonna block me, but, like, I have open DMS with Emily. Oscar, if you guys have. Have you ever. Like, many times I've actually thought to myself, like, I wonder what Emily Oster thinks. Yeah. And now I don't have to wonder. So if you guys, like, need any, like, pressing issues to get to Emily, like, DM me, I can get them to Emily.
A
You should have, like, a monthly segment with her. But, you know, the lines of communication have been open for a while. I was on her podcast. Do you know that she has a podcast? And I was on it.
B
Oh, I didn't know that.
A
Yeah. And I'm sure they would love to have you on it. Like, you'll be private.
B
We would literally talk about Ozempic the entire time.
A
Just, like, do. Ask her 20 questions.
B
Like, yeah, I should. I should. I should. I have so many questions between, like, Dr. Fox.
A
We were invited to her book launch party. Like, I think she's surrounded by swirlies in her midst. I know. She's like a busy working mother, so, like, I don't know how much time she listens to the toast. Like, the people around her keep her abreast of. I know.
B
Like, if I wanted to get to her before this, like, I could have. But now I seriously have, like, open lines of communication.
A
Yeah, no, I think she will love to fire off some answers to you.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah, that's.
B
I'm older. It is pretty sweet. So that was an exciting thing. It's also Friday. It's our first queenie and weenie back, and I'm just so excited. For those who don't remember, every Friday, Jackie and I cap off the week with my personal favorite segment. It is the best time of my week. Like, how the DTQ feels about Dear Toasters is how. What are we calling The Queenie and Weenie stands.
A
Claudia.
B
Fair. I absolutely love Queenie and Weenie. It is like, when I get to be. I either get to like, gas someone up and sometimes, like, if I want to get someone's attention, I'll like, make them queenie and they'll be like, oh, they'll like, text me. I'm like, great, I haven't heard from you. And then if I, like, hate someone and I want to like, really clown on them, I make them weenie. It's just a really honestly cathartic way for me to end the week. And I think people really enjoy it.
A
And I think it's a good way for us to look at the week at a glance, which is something that we love to do. And I feel like we can't go into it another week without looking back at the past week.
B
That's really. That's absolutely beautiful. It's true. It's like, it's how we, you know, for lack of a better word, close.
A
The chapter in summation.
B
In conclusion. Okay. Was this like a unique experience or. Whenever you wrote a paper in like, high school, every paragraph, every, like, final paragraph ended with. Started with in conclusion.
A
Yeah. The conclusion starts with in conclusion. In conclusion.
B
In conclusion. I think this book sucked. That's literally all my papers.
A
It's like, it's never wasted my time. There's a better way to say it, but like, the professor will understand what you're trying to do here when you start out with that.
B
Right. It was like introduction, like side A, side B, conclusion, like, it's like the classic four paragraph essay.
A
Wow, that's really rudimentary.
B
It is. Like, do you remember learning like the building blocks of an essay? Like that?
A
Of course, of course. But I feel like there was always like three middle paragraphs.
B
Well, okay, so then actually at nyu there's this introductory course that every student has to take, no matter if you're pre med, whatever. Like, it's called writing the essay. And it's like really small, like six person classes where you learn like, really how to write the perfect essay. It is the most miserable experience on the planet. And I actually don't. I haven't retained like one piece of information that I learned from that class, but I did retain, like, what I learned in high school. Introduction, argument A, argument B, conclusion, maybe.
A
Argument C, Claudius, argument.
B
You want to, if you want to get like, crazy, sure. But like, to me, it's the four paragraph building blocks that like, really stuck with me. It's crazy what you learned in school. That actually sticks with you.
A
Yeah. An outline.
B
Outline, Yes.
A
I love an outline.
B
You do? I feel like you're always making outlines for the redheads.
A
I am always making outlines for the redheads, which, by the way, redheads went up yesterday. Like, things we did got the episode out on time.
B
Things I just did seamlessly integrate a promotional moment for the redheads.
A
And I really want to know what people thought about the episode in the book. So if you could drop a comment on the redheads, if you, like, did the homework, please let me know. Because, like, I'm, like, out here standing here alone, being like, I hated this book. And everyone else is like, it's so amazing. It's so beautiful. Like, I. I seriously hated it, and I just know that you would hate it more than me.
B
So as a natural born hater, I relate entirely to the experience that you're. This is. That's, like, seriously my lived experience. Always, like, wait, what are we talking about? This is the most disgusting piece of I've ever seen. And everybody's like, it's amazing. That's how I felt. Spoiler alert. Not to. Not spoiler alert. A trigger warning about the Barbie movie. Not that it was a piece of. I was just like, I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing, and that happens to me a lot. So I relate to you, and I'm sorry that you're dealing with that, but you will find somebody who hates it just as much, if not more than you. And I could tell you it's the most amazing experience.
A
Yeah. So just come out of the woodwork, like, let me know what you think. And I don't go into reading a book wanting to dislike it. Like, I've given you my time, my energy, my heart.
B
My heart. You like.
A
And it took me a while into this book to be like, I really don't like this.
B
Yeah.
A
No, thank you.
B
I miss Eden Sassoon.
A
I don't.
B
She was so crazy.
A
I'm finally all caught up on your home. I was shocked when the episodes end and they want him to play Real Housewives of Orange county for me, it's.
B
Still mid season, though. So, like, you're just gonna keep up with it? Yeah.
A
Now I'm just like, a breast Seville trip has ended. These women are so crazy. They literally cannot go three minutes without fighting. But it makes for such good tv because it's, like, constantly changing dynamics.
B
But it's, like, real fighting. I find, like, with certain franchises, when you can tell, they're just, like, trying really hard. Like, that happens a Lot in Salt Lake City. And why I stopped watching it is, like, literally, one day you're best friends with someone, and the next day, like, your arch nemesis. It doesn't make sense. Like, it's not a human way to live.
A
It's like, this is a group of people that would never, ever choose to be together, especially go on a trip, like, outside of this show. Like, the way that they speak, like, offends each other with every breath they take. They're just all so different. So it's, like, just so interesting to watch. They can't get along because they, like, are speaking literally different languages. Like when Adriana called Kiki. Kiki, like, called Adriana out for something that she literally did. And why do you have to be so ratchet? And Kiki was like, what? Like, why would you call me ratchet? Like, you. Like. She was so offended.
B
And by the way, I kind of agree with Kiki. Kiki is not ratchet.
A
No. And Kiki literally just told the table what Adriana just like, that's it. Cut to the next day. Adriana's, like, talking about the situation, and it's becoming clear that the word that she thinks that she said is wretched. But her accent is so thick.
B
Okay.
A
That it sounds like ratchet.
B
That makes a lot more sense.
A
Yes. Because she's shocked by everyone's reaction. She's like, it's just ratchet. Like, what's the big deal?
B
That's hysterical.
A
No. They're literally speaking different languages. It's so funny.
B
Well, that's Miami. It's like a real melting pot of tostadas from all different parts of the world.
A
It's true. Lisa's Canadian.
B
There is a trending sound on Tick tock right now from the Real Housewives of Miami. It's Alexia. Me apologize. You're crazy. I cannot stop saying it. I put a favor. I really need to, like, add that into my vernacular. Sometimes I'll, like, throw a little Spanish in there. Like, you know better. Like, why? And now I'm gonna be like, okay, add it. Yeah, I should have studied abroad in Madrid. It's being a study abroad. I'm studying still, like, slugging through the very last episode of the summer, I turn pretty. She, like, went to Paris to study abroad, and she shows up at the school, and they're like, you literally don't go here it is the worst show on the planet. Like, I need all the characters. I need there to be, like, a natural disaster where, like, like, everything gets wiped out and I don't have to see any of these people ever again.
A
And Sheila survives.
B
Oh yeah, sorry. The alone survivor is Shayla.
A
No, I think like and Steven.
B
So they repopulate the earth. Also. We talk a lot about Shayla and Steven and I don't think we really ever talk about the fact that they are dating in real life. The actors.
A
I think I've known that somewhere, but I just assum. They've broken up. But no, they're still together. They were at us open together. Which makes it even more criminal that they kicked her off the show because like there's a real love connection between Steven and the actress of Shade, Edward and Bella. Right. And like, why did you take that from us? Like, I seriously, like, I want answers and accountability. It made no sense. She was such a good character.
B
Or maybe just like a Shayla spin off.
A
I would love that. She was fabulous.
B
So rich.
A
She's so fabulous.
B
Oh, speaking of very wealthy Asians. I know. You don't know. Do you know who Becca Bloom is?
A
I do.
B
You do?
A
Yeah. You've talked about her and then she's not on Instagram. She doesn't come up for me. But like I've seen a couple things.
B
She got married over the weekend in Italy.
A
Okay.
B
Sick.
A
Mazel tov.
B
For those who don't know, she is like literally real life crazy rich Asians. She lives in San Francisco. She started sharing her life on Tick Tock. Just like her jewelry and her shoes and she wears like 250000 necklaces to work. Like it's insane. It's a level of wealth we've never seen before. And she got married over the weekend. Real party. It's just like their. It's their intimate wedding. I believe they're having like a big bang out wedding. More traditionally Chinese. This was just their like 60 close friends at a villa in Italy where. Hospital. Yeah, it was sick. Her chairs. The chairs at her wedding were Van Cleef sick. Sick.
A
And then where do they go? Like, were they rentals?
B
The chairs?
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know. Who sits on them next? I assume they were rentals, but I don't know. When you're so rich, like maybe you just bought them.
A
Maybe. But then what are you gonna do with them? Unless you have like a big 60 person dining table in your ballroom that you.
B
I bet she does.
A
Okay.
B
Because she was also sharing their house hunting journey. They live in what's like the wealthiest neighborhood in San Francisco. It's like Palo Alto.
A
Like that one, Palo Alto.
B
Because they're like, you know, Tech in the tech space. And she was like, sharing her house hunting journey. She shared some videos. Like, she's looking at, like, seriously, it's insane. It's just her and her fiance, they're looking at like 50 million dollar houses. It's the craziest thing. I highly recommend. And it's funny because the Internet, like, hates rich people, right? Like, once you become wealthy and unrelatable, like, people start hating you. But the general consensus on Becca Bloom is like, she riches, right? You know, and like, they love her. Like, love, love, love. And when they say eat the rich, we're not talking about Becca Bloom. That's what Tick Tock says. It's just been interesting to see how she gets away with being rich when, like, other people, Other richies haven't been.
A
So l. Oh, I believe they call that selective outrage. That is.
B
Yes, yes, yes. So she's safe. She's been marked safe from the eye of the Internet. But I just know it's been too pary for Becca Bloom. Like, something's going to happen, you know, Everybody loves her.
A
Yeah.
B
And I believe it was the great John Mulaney who once said, likability is a prison.
A
What did he say?
B
He said, likability is a prison. And I have a chin implant. That's what he said.
A
Do you notice anything else here? Four days in a row, working.
B
I did. I thought you were gonna say, did you know it was Bruno's birthday? I didn't. How old is Bruno?
A
Bruno was five. We celebrated his birthday in the Hamptons. His birthday's the day after. Charlie's got it. We do, like, a joint birthday.
B
Cool, cool, cool.
A
Yeah. And he's looking more handsome than ever. A couple of people have commented on his weight loss. His groomer said to me, she said, has Bruno been eating?
B
Oh, my God, no. You told him that he's drinking hot water with lemon because he's anorexic.
A
I was like, no, he's on a weight loss journey. Like, it's a whole thing. Thank you for noticing. He's as hungry as ever. Don't worry. Because she thought he was. She thought he was sick. Like, she was like, does he eat his food? I'm like, he.
B
Oh, he's. Oh, he's giving terminal.
A
He eats everything Now.
B
I don't want to start a fight, okay, but, like, are you going to apologize to me?
A
I'm not gonna apologize to you. The initial. I know what happened with Bruno's weight. And when you started sounding the alarm, he had not gained weight yet. We Weighed him, I just want to.
B
Say for like a year. I said, this dog is huge. Every time I would come, I haven't seen him for like weeks or months. I would notice more significantly than you, and you would like, weigh him and you'd be like, no, he weighs the same. And like, maybe that's true, but now he's on a weight loss journey. Now he's on a weight loss journey. How does that make sense?
A
No, one time I weighed him, he weighed the same. I didn't agree with you that he looked big. And then over the year he was getting bigger. I literally got a gate in my house because I thought it was because he was getting the scraps of kids food on the floor. Like, I was with you. He was on the program. Turned out someone was over feeding him.
B
I'm just saying he's on a weight loss journey looking better than ever. I'd been saying he was fat, and everybody said I was being mean.
A
Okay, well, the good news is that Bruno has his physique back and he's.
B
Looking better than ever. And his fat phobic auntie stunted on these steps in. And when I was spent the summer with him, he was like, really? I could tell he was like, thank you.
A
Yeah. But this summer again was like, you know, he had a big boy summer because there's a lot of people in the house, there's a lot of food to get. Like, he went off like the program for a little bit, but that's okay. So did I.
B
We all had a big bar.
A
By the way, do you find I am eating, like, less amazing quarter of the amount that I ate in the Hamptons. I'm eating. I said to nothing here.
B
I said to bed yesterday. And this is why I could truly never live in a house. Because you eat more when you live in a house. I just know it like house versus apartment. With a house like the kitchen, it's like, it's just the center of the home and everybody chills there. Like living in a house. This summer, I couldn't. I, I was, I was just saying this to someone. My friend Kristen. I said I over the summer was eating a box of Oreo Thins. One box every two days. Like, I kept placing an instacart order for a new box. I. I haven't had an Oreo thin since I got home. I'm so skinny.
A
No. Every time I would walk past the kitchen, it was definitely like a 200 calorie intake. Just like paying the toll to get to the living room. But I actually disagree with your hypothesis because I'm in a house now, and I'm not eating anything. Like, first, it's a couple of things. When we're together and when our family's together, like, we're celebrating. We're eaters. Everyone wants to. Like, we gift food. Like, we're just. Food is our love.
B
We literally got a Carvel cake to celebrate Iris and Pepe.
A
Right. Like, we would just, like, be at a store, be like, oh, coaches, would this, like, you know, cinnamon buns for all we think of each other. Also, the Hamptons has such amazing food that everywhere you go, it's like, it's a shame to not pick something up. It's a shame to not eat, especially when we're pregnant and we're eating with purpose. Like, it's true. I'm going to nourish my baby with this cinnamon roll from Round Swamp Farm. Yes, I am.
B
Yeah. It was the right thing to do for at the time.
A
There is no food in Florida. Like, there's no food here. I literally don't eat anything. And especially because I'm too tired to, like, really cook something, like, par G. I actually just started doing a sourdough loaf morning because I'm not eating. I don't eat anything since I've been home.
B
Ben's been on his sabordo journey, like, since Sunday, and I have not seen a piece of bread. I know it's an art. I know it takes seven days, but, like, let me tell you, so many dishes, there's, like, crusty sourdough on the floor, on the wall, all over these, like, jars, and I still haven't even seen a piece of bread. It's insane.
A
Yeah. He's doing starter from scratch, so that takes, like, five days to mature. It's just really a shame that he didn't take some of my starter that was sitting with us for two months.
B
It's also a shame, like, you gave me starter two years ago, and I kept it in my fridge. And then, like, maybe a month ago, I was like, it's time. Get, like, it turned black.
A
Yeah, you could pour off the black. I know, but still, that's too long. But, like, literally all he had to do was just, like, take some of mine from the Hamptons. The Hamptons. And that's. And it would have been ready to make the next day. But he. He's like, well, this way, it's really from scratch. It's what he said. He's really proud of that. But, like, the thing about starter, it's like, it's also about the history of the starter. Like, my starter is a descendant of.
B
Of Ballerina Farm.
A
Right. Whose is a descendant of Oregon Trail. Like, my starter has 300 years of history.
B
Your starter has roots.
A
Yeah. So you actually don't want the freshest starter. It takes a long time to mature. It gets better and better with every feed.
B
But I don't want to tell him that.
A
He's excited and I'm not sure this is the start.
B
Like, all trees need to be planted. Right. Like, Ruby will be able to tell his friends, like, this is my dad's starter.
A
Yeah, that's what it'll tell. I pray that Ben does this long enough for Ruby to tell his friends that's my dad's starter.
B
And he's like, turning into, like, toxic you. Because while he is on his sourdough journey, like I said, I've yet to see a piece of bread and I still need to eat. So I bought a loaf of sourdough for, like, from the grocery store. And he was like, this crap. I'm like, okay, well, you haven't given me an alternative.
A
Yeah, girls gotta eat. Was it real sourdough, like, three ingredients?
B
I don't know. It was from the Fairway Bakery. I feel like. Yeah.
A
I just don't see them, like, feeding their starter back there.
B
He was like, when I make sourdough, it won't have as many holes. I'm like, meanwhile, it was a delicious loaf. I made an amazing sandwich.
A
Oh, it was holy.
B
Yeah.
A
Interesting.
B
Speaking of holy, I ended up on a Florida Georgia Line, like, fan page who is just, like, making edits, praying for their return. And obviously they're not making a return. But I saw somebody say something really interesting that just got me thinking about, you know, like, country music at a glance. Florida Georgia Line walked so Morgan Wallen could run. And they do really have, like, similar energies. We forget. But there was like, a two, three year period where Florida Georgia Line was not only making the biggest hits in country, like, they were crossing over every time. Meant to be cruise. Holy.
A
Yeah. I don't think it's so. It doesn't, like, scratch the itch in my head like it does for you.
B
It was. I thought it was a pretty good analogy.
A
I'm. I won't argue it. I'll allow it.
B
Oh, my God. Thank God.
A
I'll allow it. I don't have energy to argue it, but I don't feel the exact same way.
B
So just to circle back, I will not be receiving an apology about being for Being labeled, like, crazy fat phobic.
A
Auntie, I never labeled you anything.
B
What's with the word fat phobic? Like, I'm afraid. No, I'm not afraid. You know, actually I am afraid. I am. My personal journey is like, I am afraid. I'm not afraid of bad people being fat. I'm afraid of getting fat again. But that's like my own personal issues. Like, I'm not afraid of other fat.
A
That's probably only like one definition of the word fat phobic. Like, there are probably multiple. But I do think, like, afraid of being fat.
B
It's different. But that's not what they mean when they say fat phobic or like homophobic. I'm not afraid of being gay.
A
Well, maybe I don't also mean that.
B
Yeah, but I don't like them adding phobic at the end when they're trying to say like, you hate fat and you hate gay people. Right.
A
Oh, okay. So this is a larger, It's a larger issue on the, on phobia.
B
Just something I've been thinking about. Like, I don't think homophobic people are afraid of gay people. I think they hate gay people. So it should be like homo hatred. Something, I don't know, just. I'm just throwing it out. Like, I think it's a flawed, like, linguistic system. But what do I know? I failed linguistics in college.
A
Yeah, no, I understand what you're saying. I think it's a lot to take on.
B
But yeah, yeah. All that to say, I'm not getting.
A
An apology and you're not fat hatred.
B
No. Oh my God. Okay. That would be a self hating fatty. I don't hate fat people at all. I personally don't want to be fat and I would argue, like, a lot of fat people don't want to be fat. That's why Ozempic has been such a fabulous thing. But it clashes with the body positive positive positivity movement. Because when you're overweight, you're like, you kind of have no choice. Like, you want to be happy, you got to be body positive. But then this thing came that was like, oh, you actually don't have to be fat anymore. And we were like, oh, okay, yeah, I'll take that, please. So it's like, where does body positivity go in the age of Ozempic? If I was in college, I'd be writing a paper on it.
A
Interesting. And would you tap Serena Williams?
B
Actually, yes. She's quite relevant to the conversation now. No, but I would say I would cite Myself, Like, I would be this the subject of my own dissertation. Because I am. Like, nobody was more positive than me.
A
I think that's a conflict of interest. I could write the paper on you.
B
Yeah. But I can't trust you to be completely unbiased.
A
Why?
B
You're my sister. You're my sister. I know.
A
I'll just be like, she was beautiful at every size.
B
Yeah. Like, I need.
A
She was always so amazing.
B
I need someone driven by data.
A
And we asked her, should write a study about you.
B
Well, I did DM her and I wanted to ask, like, how do we get, like, an actual study on Ozempic and breast milk, like, up and running? Because I like, do they need money? What do they need?
A
No support to talk to who does studies?
B
Dr. Easy. Yeah, she did a study on Ozempic, but not about, like, maternity.
A
She knows how to run a study, Alan. Ozempic.
B
Like, it's actually so true.
A
And then you could say, like, I. I volunteer's tribute for the study.
B
Yeah.
A
You're donating your body to science.
B
Yeah. Jane Doe.
A
So that's something. But by the time you get all.
B
Of that done, like breastfeeding, I'll be your grandmother.
A
Yeah, you will already be back with the same thing.
B
Now, I might just be saying this because I'm eager to get to queenie and weenie, but I do feel like it's time. Yeah.
A
I mean, the thing is, it's actually always time. Do you know what I mean?
B
It's beautiful. Yeah.
A
Like, when we started the show, we would literally say, good morning, millennials, and jump right into the first story.
B
We would be crazy if we went like five minutes of just like chit chat.
A
It was unheard of. We didn't even know that was an option. And I will credit when I think about the Genesis toast at a glance, if I might.
B
Of course.
A
Please. At that time, I really think, like, the move, like, me moving made for, like, so much more. Like, for us to need to catch up on.
B
I will say you moving, I thought was going to be like the absolute end of my career. Like, I was really thinking about going back to school and, like, getting a graduate degree. Having said that, now, in hindsight, it's funny how God works. It was the greatest thing that ever happened. It really forced us one to up our game in terms of tech. And I know a lot of people, remote podcasts and. Absolutely. There's not one person on the planet that does it better than us. Like, we have the absolute best setup. You cannot convince me otherwise. And two yeah, we had to, like, work harder at keeping up with one another. It forced our show to, like, evolve. I completely agree. Thank you so much for moving.
A
We have, like, really separate lives, whereas, like, we used to, when we were in the city, like, do the show.
B
Live on top of each other.
A
Me and you go to lunch, go home, like, I don't know, go to the gym, and, like, watch. Like, there wasn't that much, like, living separately that happened. So what are we going to catch up about every, like, now? I have so much to tell my Koji.
B
A thousand percent.
A
So necessity is the mother of invention.
B
Slay.
A
All to say we could start the stories whenever we want because that's what we used to do.
B
And we're also, like, adults who are. What is this from? We're adults with no children. We have the luxury to design our own lives. Well, we have the luxury to design our own show.
A
What's that from? Sex in the City?
B
Yeah. When Big doesn't want to live with her anymore, even though they're literally married and she, like, is telling everyone we have the luxury to design our own lives. It's like, okay, just your husband hates you. It's fine.
A
It happened.
B
Listen, we've all been there.
A

A
The Turt.
B
You're welcome.
A
Our first story is some royal news, some two pronged royal news and not about the usual suspects.
B
The wig.
A
Well, yes, the usual suspects being Harry and Megan. This is about Kate and William. Kate and William are making news separately and together. First, Kate showed off her shocking blonde hair transformation, which usually haircuts and hairstyle changes are not news here at the Toast. But Kate Milton Middleton, the iconic exception, is now rocking a blonde look.
B
And I got tagged in this a million times. People wanted my take like Turdi Turtle. And one thing you're not going to catch me doing is talking about the hair of a woman who just had cancer. Like, is it a way. I don't give a. Like, she's expressing herself through hair. She just had cancer.
A
Don't.
B
Literally. Don't ask me for my take on this. I don't have one. Like, do you?
A
Boo.
B
Do you?
A
Oh, for sure. Do you? But, like, she's such a. A con, a steady and a constant and such a so true. Stable, you know, Queen Elizabeth never showed up with blue hair.
B
A perm.
A
Right. Like, so it's really.
B
See, though, Elizabeth with blue hair, like.
A
You know, she was itching her whole career.
B
Totally. It's like, the one thing she couldn't do as queen.
A
Yeah. So it's like, really, it's not even just about the physical transformation. It's about, like, what it means that she's just, like, kind of go, like, going crazy.
B
And I think that's, like, what happens. I wouldn't know, but I think, like, when you have cancer, like, you deal with something so serious, everything else just sort of falls to the wayside. Like, the. The rigidities of life. And even if, you know, the future Queen of England, like, this is her, you know, for lack of a better word, like, letting her hair down just, like, around. And I feel like there might have been a time where she would have absolutely never done this, been experimental, especially her hair is her thing. But I think when you just go to the edge of a cliff, like, you have cancer, like, it puts everything in perspective. You're just like, it. What if I just wore a blonde wig?
A
Maybe she's always, like, had the itch to go blonde, but, like, knew that that was a bridge too far for the Royal Family, for her position. And now, like, this is a good time to try it out.
B
What if you just around with your hair, like, I love it now. It's not platinum blonde. If you haven't seen the photo, it's like a dirty blonde. It's still. It's very light, light brow.
A
However, it is very surprising considering it's a huge shift. We've only ever known her to be a brunette. Like, when I saw these pictures, I was like, I thought it was AI. I thought it was AI. I was like, I ignored it the first time. I was like, what are people doing?
B
That is a really tough part of this job. Not to make, like, everybody feel bad for me. But I constantly. And I'm a very savvy Internet user. I'm constantly getting hoodwinked by AI. Like, that picture of the Pope in the puffer jacket. I only Found out, like, two years later that was fake. Yeah, it happens to me all the time.
A
Yeah. But. But most AI, like, you could tell.
B
No, it's getting better.
A
The sixth finger.
B
Yes. But these days it's getting a lot smarter, which I think is like, kind of the dangers of AI, you know, they're outsmarting humans.
A
They are.
B
Although I cannot stress enough when I'm talking about the dangers of AI, just know I'm never talking about Chat gbt. I believe it was on this here program that I signed up for the premium plan. And it is the money, literally. Chat GPT is raising Ruby. We're, like, attempting to sleep slash, nap train Ruby right now. Like, with Chat gbt, it's the most amazing thing.
A
Ben's actually done something really smart, which is that he has started his sourdough journey in partnership with Chat GPT. And it's brilliant because sourdough is so scientific.
B
Yep.
A
That I'm actually going to ask Chat today. I'm going to give them my measurements, which is what I did in the Hamptons. I'm going to say, like, I'm making a loaf. 330 grams water, blah, blah, blah. How long should it ferment for? And I. I'm in South Florida. I keep my house at 69 degrees. How long should it for both ferment for? And what should my cook time be? Because I don't think my cook time is perfect.
B
I. We used Chat GBT last night because, like, two nights ago, Ben made me, like, an amazing dinner and I wanted the same thing but, like, in a different font. And so we said, like, I made my. My wife amazing chicken parm and spaghetti two nights ago. What should I make her tonight? That's like a similar vibe. And we had something quite similar.
A
Are you gonna tell us? Are you gonna gatekeep?
B
It was like an Italian seasoning chicken cutlet. I don't know, like, exactly what it was. I feel like some people would say it was like chicken Milanese, but like chicken paillard. It was somewhere between. No, it was somewhere between like a schnitzel and a. And a chicken Milanese. Like Turdy's version with sauce? No, just like a chicken cutlet. And then we had this, like, garlic lemon spaghetti. It was so good.
A
You love gls?
B
I love. Ben makes this, like, garlic parmesan lettuce. I'm cracking up. Certainly not garlic parmesan buttery noodle type thing. It's amazing. I'll have him make a video on it.
A
Oh, thanks.
B
Yes. You're welcome.
A
Also, Prince William did Eugene Levy's Apple TV show called the Reluctant Traveler. Really? Two of them are, like, cracking jokes on this new show of Eugene Levy's.
B
Do you think that William and Kate watch Schitt's Creek?
A
I think.
B
Oh, I forget that Canada is, like, a part of the Commonwealth, right?
A
Yeah. I think everyone watches and loves Schitt's Creek. Any TV watcher. And I think they watch tv. They're like, hold up all day in the castle.
B
What? Literally, if they don't. I mean, in the crown, they're always watching tv.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I think they would watch Sits Creek.
B
I think they would too. Especially because the Levies are kind of the pride and joy of Canada. They're the most famous people in Canada besides, like, Justin Bieber, and he doesn't even live there anymore.
A
Yeah. So I think he's definitely a fan. I mean, we could probably watch the episode and find out these simple questions. No, you know, if I'm somewhere where it's playing, like, I would watch this.
B
But speaking of Apple TV shows.
A
Huh.
B
They. I either came out or announced or we got the artwork. They're doing, like, the Office spin off called the Paper.
A
Okay.
B
And they're putting so much money behind it. It looks so bad. I just know in, like, two years from now, we're gonna, like, it's gonna be completely erased from, like, from everyone's consciousness. Like, but in this moment, I'm seeing it ever. It's on every bus in the city. It's on every bus stop. It's all over, like, the billboards and. And I just know. I just know nobody's gonna watch it. I know it's gonna be terrible, and I just know we're all gonna forget about it.
A
I'll have to see if Zach is interested in watching it, and then I.
B
Should because he loves the Office.
A
He loves the Office, but I don't really want to send him back there. Like, I haven't seen the Office on my televisions in, like, a year.
B
And I'm at a place now with Apple TV plus where, when the new season of your Friends and Neighbors comes, that's when I'll be renewing my subscription. Like, I used to watch Ted Lasso. Cancel it. Apple TV is not something I need to be subscribed to year round. It's not fiscally responsible. Like, Netflix, Hulu, like, they've got a bunch of stuff. But I'm really only ever watching one show on Apple tv. So once the season's over, like, I gotta cancel It.
A
They shouldn't really make it a la carte. And then you should be able to. And then you should be able to buy episodes. Like the itunes store.
B
Like, Prime.
A
Itunes.
B
No, but prime slays. Like, you can subscribe to prime and watch like, a bunch of. For free. Or if you're not subscribed, like, buy it. Sure. Or rent it even. Yeah, I like options. I actually canceled my peacock this morning since Love Island USA is.
A
That's crazy. No longer.
B
And I don't watch a lot of peacock.
A
Peacock is a good one. But I also, like. I like to. Also. You're so, like, you're like, if I'm not watching and you don't mind, like, logging in and out a million times?
B
No, I don't.
A
No. Not only do I never want to log in again, I also, like, I want to let you know that I support you. And if I do ever cancel, like, it means something. Like, you should.
B
Oh, okay. Karen. Yeah.
A
You're giving Karen look into that. You know, I'm not just like, I really don't cancel willy nilly. So when I cancel, you're canceled.
B
I don't know. These subscriptions are really adding up. It used to be like 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, $8. Now this peacock, I canceled because I didn't want to, like, pay for commercials with Love Island 17amonth. Like, that's crazy. Yeah, that's really nuts.
A
Yeah, but. And you pay for cable YouTube TV. Oh, okay, so you're saving.
B
Yeah. No, but then I also just bought ESPN plus so I could watch my double speakers, by the way.
A
Now you can cancel.
B
Note to self, cancel that. Yeah.
A
Yeah. That's a big one.
B
Yeah, it was still. Because it's a part of, like, a bundle. I don't need a bundle. I just need an espn. They make it so hard.
A
No, I'm sorry. No. Yeah, no, that's too much. That's a bridge too far.
B
Well, love to see William taking after the great Queen Elizabeth. She would every now and then dip her toe in. You know she was in. In Bond, right? She was in Paddington. You know, British things.
A
Yeah.
B
Love that.
A
Yeah. Super cute. Are you ready for our next story?
B
Yeah.
A
Little booze news. The Kelsey brothers is Garage Beer has scored a $200 million touchdown despite an industry wide booze slump.
B
Trump.
A
So Garage Beer, which is a light beer maker backed by the Kelsey Brethren, is Now worth roughly $200 million following a funding round as it has skirted a broader decline in sales across the industry, according to a report. So, first of all, Their investment.
B
It's misleading.
A
It's misleading.
B
It sounded like their beer got bought for $200 million, and that's not the case.
A
They just raised $200 million.
B
So when you raise money for a brand, it's like, that's the value of the brand, like, according to numbers. But that doesn't mean, like, you know what I mean? So them. It's misleading. I thought when I first read it.
A
That they were like, another hundred mil for each brother now.
B
Right. Because they just made 100 mil from the podcast. Yeah. Like, they're crushing it. That's. They didn't sell their beer company for $200 million. They're investors in a beer company that is now raising money at a $200 million valuation. But that could go down. That could go up. Like, it's not right. It's not real.
A
Like, they're investors in a beer company that's not their beer company. Like, there are other investors.
B
Yeah.
A
So their investment is doing well, is the news.
B
Yeah. And I also don't know how this company could be doing so well because I've quite literally never heard of it unless he's drinking it. I had heard of it because he's like, drinks it on the podcast sometimes, and I see him do, like, little Instagram things, but other than that, I've never actually seen one out in the wild.
A
And I. I have to say, I do think people are investing in them a thousand percent.
B
I mean, they're the cereal guys. They are so brand safe right now because they're like family guys. Yeah. They're like the new Wheaties. Like, they're the General Mills. They have a huge contact with General Mills.
A
Both of them know that.
B
Yeah. It's like og, like athletes on cereal. I don't look. You know, it's like a cereal aisle. Oh, yeah. She just has her organic Purely Elizabeth. It's true. Well, I'd like purely Elizabeth, but I also love sugary.
A
I would like a little purely Kelsey.
B
Yeah, that's up next.
A
Yeah, for sure.
B
And they're. They have so many brand deals. Like, when you watch a football game, Travis is on every commercial. State Farm, subway, Pfizer. Yes, Mr. Pfizer.
A
Is he still doing Pfizer commercials like this?
B
I don't think so. No, I don't think so.
A
Did anybody watch the game last night?
B
I didn't, but I saw there was drama.
A
My husband went out with friends to watch, and so I put on my Cowboys Abercrombie outfit today, having no clue if they won or lost.
B
I'm dying to know. I was gonna say.
A
Who was.
B
I feel like the Cowboys lost.
A
Yeah, the Cowboys. Of course they lost.
B
Not only, like, so thereby.
A
Not only. Is that what they do? The Eagles are the best team in the league.
B
They lost. Only lost by four. Slay.
A
Oh, that's pretty good. We're so back time.
B
We're so back to talking about football.
A
Yeah. So how did that last night's game come up?
B
Garage beer.
A
No, no, like, one Kelsey's.
B
I said, when you watch a commercial.
A
Oh, yeah. Like, last night's, like, the games. I wonder if, like, the Pfizer commercials are playing again this year. That's what I was gonna say.
B
I think they record new commercials.
A
Oh. Exciting for every season.
B
New angle of his arm with the band aid. Oh, cackle. I think there are more. I can't remember, but I remember last season being, like, stunned at how many commercials he was in for the biggest brands in the world. He's raking it in.
A
Yeah. I mean, he's such a. So brand safe, so beloved. I mean, he gets all of Taylor's love, and he can go. He can go and, like, you know, capitalize on all of it. She can't, because, like, there's no brand.
B
Out there that could afford her. Literally.
A
She's not gonna be hockey. Million brand deals. Like, that's just not.
B
No.
A
What an artist does. But him.
B
Although we all remember the Diet Coke era.
A
Yeah. But, like, that's what you can have, like, one or two, like, major brands. Right. But you can't just be, like, taking every job.
B
No. She was at T& diet Coke for a while.
A
I'm like, that's literally capital one.
B
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Don't forget the capital one year DIRECTV. That was part of @t. I believe they're like, you know, brethren. Yeah.
A
Cute. Well, anyways, mazel's to Garage Beer.
B
Yeah.
A
I love your beer, Spritz.
B
If you're gonna keep saying that, you're gonna have to explain why.
A
I'll tell the story. So when we were over the summer, Spritz turned four, which, by the way, major milestone. Happy birthday.
B
Not as major as 200 million.
A
Not as major as 200 million. Just, like, a small milestone that we were celebrating with a little cute video. Ben and Zach, like, I made, like, a cake. Yes. Then, like, Ben put his face in the cake, but it was a really big cake, so there was, like, parts of cake that weren't faced. And Harry actually had gone out and helped Zach get the cake, so he, like, was expecting a Piece.
B
Of course.
A
So he got his piece of cake, and I was just like, taking a video of him because he was like, saying, happy Birthday. I was like, say happy Birthday, Sprint. He was like, happy birthday, Spritz. I love your cake, Spritz.
B
I'm sick. I do love your cake. It was delicious. It was a Carvel.
A
It was not Carvel.
B
Oh, no. It was a sheet cake from the grocery store.
A
It was like, cake cake.
B
Yeah. It was like a yellow sheet cake from King Colin.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he loved your cake, Spritz.
B
I love your cake, Spritz. It was so cute.
A
It was really cute. Oh. Are you ready for our next story?
B
Yeah.
A
The White Lotus Season 4 location has reportedly been revealed. Have you seen this, France? Bonjour, White Lotus. White Lotus has reportedly picked a setting for the upcoming fourth season of the anthology series. I just feel like when you say France, like, there are so many different ways.
B
Of course, this gives me no clarity.
A
Is it Paris, South? French Riviera.
B
South of France. Right. There's. So I feel like south of France is a little too similar to the Megan Fahey Italians. Yeah. Because it's very similar vibes. Is it nice? Like, where is it?
A
Right. So we know that White Lotus usually films at four seasons. There are three four seasons in France. The well known Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat. So that's south of France. That's French riviera. Then the McGee in the Alps. Oh, I think Alps. I. Why do I feel like they.
B
Because again, even Hotel du Cap, it's too similar.
A
No, but they told us something that, like, makes me feel like they said.
B
They would never do cold. Right.
A
No, I feel like they said we're doing cold. Something like that.
B
Or I think we said that.
A
And then the Hotel George V located in Paris.
B
Right. I can't see them doing something urban like in a city. It's. The whole point is that it's, like, kind of secluded.
A
Yeah. Okay. I. I kind of am Team Alps.
B
We had said that it would be great if they did a skiing one. And then I believe this location scout did an interview and said we would never do something cold.
A
Well, they definitely said something about the cold.
B
They did. And I. If I'm remembering correctly, it was like, no.
A
Should. Should I attempt to look it up? Like, I don't even know what keywords I was.
B
Let me ask. Chat.
A
Yeah. Yes.
B
Has anyone from the White Lotus made comments about filming in cold climates? Question mark.
A
But we need a chalet. That's what we need to switch it up.
B
Yeah, Jackie, we said all of this, like, Aspen even, or like, something really.
A
It was just us speaking.
B
I think we said, like, Geneva.
A
You know, Geneva.
B
No, not Geneva. Justad.
A
Justad. Or Courcheval.
B
There are so many parchy places. You know, sometimes chat, like, says that they need a minute. Do you know what I mean?
A
I actually had an experience with chat where they were so wrong about something.
B
It says it's searching for Bill Simmons podcast quotes. Yeah, I think, like, they went on a podcast.
A
Okay.
B
Like, at this point, Chad is not saving me time. And after I gassed up chat, like, so hard not 10 minutes ago, it's gonna get me the answer. It just needs, like, 30 seconds.
A
Well, in the meantime, those are our three options. Exciting. Looking forward to.
B
I think we can rule out Paris.
A
I don't think we can. Really. I don't think we can. Like, even when they were. Where were they?
B
Just Thailand.
A
They went into town a lot.
B
Okay, but it was a town. Like a small village.
A
Yeah, but, like, it was like, city. And then he went to Bangkok, Remember, Walter?
B
It's actually really crazy. The chat, like, doesn't have the answer for me. Oh, here. David Bernard, the executive producer, bluntly stated that viewers should not expect the show to ever be set in cold weather. He elaborated on that point, noting that Mike White hates the cold. Bernard himself said he'd be surprised if there were ever a cold weather season. A separate report reinforced that filming in a freezing temperature would be logistically difficult, adding, that would be cold settings aren't realistic for the series. Given the production demands, Producer Bernard also doubled down, joking he bet $100,000 we don't end up in the cold.
A
I feel like that's what you say when you're going to the cold.
B
Thousand percent. Throw off the scent.
A
Okay, I guess we'll wait and see.
B
I just want to say, like, not to just be like a nish. Forgin, a complainer, but, like, my coccydinia has never been worse.
A
Okay.
B
So if you see me on YouTube just, like, wincing, ignore me. I'm fine.
A
Okay, let's do our next story, shall we?
B
What number is it? Four. Yeah.
A
Justin Bieber releases swag two after, like, 12 hours of promotion, featuring Thames Bakar and Hurricane Chris, who are three of my favorite artists. So this was very exciting for me.
B
Funny. Literally funny.
A
Less than 24 hours after announcing the project, Justin has released Swag 2, the follow up to his surprise album that drops similarly with little warning in July. The new album has 23 songs on the record, with guest Appearances. The album arrived after its promised release time of midnight, appearing first on YouTube music before other streaming services. So just working, in the words of.
B
Great Wendy Williams, clap if you care.
A
Well, I don't care about his music. No shade to him. Like, I've never, like, been huge on.
B
His music, I believe.
A
I wanted to ask you, like, how did Swag one do? Like, I've seen that people, like, use the sounds a little bit on just that one.
B
Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it. I like that song. The way you got me all in my head.
A
And then also, that's my baby. She's iconic.
B
I think that's the same song. Oh, my. That is not how it goes. That's my baby. She's iconic. IPhone case, lip gloss on it. How did Justin Bieber's most recent album, Swag, perform? A lot. I have to say. I've seen a lot of people, like, talking also about it. Launched strongly with 163, 000 album equivalent units in the US 200 million on demand streams. It's his biggest streaming debut to date, plus about $6,000 in pure sales. I mean, 6,000 pure sales. It's actually crazy that, like, album purchase numbers are so low.
A
Yeah. Okay. So I would say that that is good, especially because when he dropped Swag one, I was like, is this just, like, you know, an album? Like a fart of an album where it's just like a.
B
Right. Peepee Poo Poo Poo Poo.
A
We need, like, a name for that. Like, Kanye dropped a bunch of those albums at some point, and he had.
B
A song literally called, like, Pee Pee Poo.
A
It's like, not real music. It's like, not.
B
So it's like. It's like when a crazy person, like, just puts together some. It's called Peepee Poo Poo.
A
But Swag one was not peepee poo poo after all.
B
No, it wasn't. But the marketing was giving potential to be Peepee poo poo.
A
Yeah. As was his behavior. Correct.
B
Well, often when you get a peepee poo poo song, there's also peepee poo poo behavior preceding it behind.
A
Of course. You don't just, like, launch that. As a Sound of Mind person now.
B
I saw, like, Jelena crazies being like, it's crazy that Justin would launch an album on the day that road launched in Sephora. So yesterday was a huge day for Haley. It was announced a little while ago that road was going to be in Sephora, and it's very rare that Sephora doesn't carry a brand that, like, they own part of. They own part of so many brands. They own part of rare beauty. They own part of makeup by Mario. Like, literally, unless they have a vested interest or you're like Dior, it's really hard to get into Sephora. Ulta carries, like, literally everything on a stick. They carry everything. So it was a really big deal. And it launched actually in physical stores yesterday. So it was a big day for Haley. She had a big launch party. And Justin also announced his album. And I saw, like, crazy Haley haters, like, going off about was like, the first time I was ever, like, kind of agreeing with them.
A
Oh, that's so funny. It's one of the times where I don't agree. I feel like it's great to be in Sephora, proud of Haley. I feel like Haley has a lot of big days these days.
B
It's true.
A
You know, and there's only so many Fridays where you can, like, launch an album. And I think when you're just like, having a lot of success, like, your success will collide sometimes. And that's a beautiful thing.
B
I also think that Haley doesn't give a because she's a billionaire now. And, like, not to be rude, like, she's not threatened. You know, she's officially like, the bigger success in the relationship.
A
Justin. Yeah. And it's like, you want to act out. Okay.
B
It would be like, seriously like Ben doing a podcast episode on the day of the toast. It's like, sure, have fun. You know what I mean?
A
Yeah, no, I agree. But also, it's also. Could you can make the argument that, like, Rising ties Rachel shy. It's like, like when people are talking about Justin's new music, that's good for Haley, like, that they're, you know, I don't know, a team, maybe. They're a team.
B
I was thinking that. And I was thinking that would make even more sense if he did, like, a little pop up performance thing at her party last night, but he didn't. Yeah, that would have been, like, good synergy because it would have been huge for the album, but huge for Road.
A
So you're saying if they're a team, they. We. We need to see some teamwork.
B
Is that crazy of me?
A
No, no, I think that's. That's. That's good. I hope to see some teamwork. But I will say that this did not raise a red flag for me where other things have.
B
I just want to say I'm harboring a secret A terrible secret.
A
What'd you do?
B
Okay. When we were in the Hamptons, I ran out of my road milk. Glazing milk, my favorite. No, no, it's nothing to do with you. But I did steal from Sachi. Okay. No, even worse. From Haley. From Haley Bieber. So I read out of my road to glazing Milk, my favorite product. I placed an order on roho.com. it literally arrived in three days. And I, like, kept checking the porch, and it wasn't there. And so I was, like, being a Karen, but I emailed customer service. I'm like, hi. Like you said, it's here, but it's not. Like, I'm really sorry. Can I get another one? Like, I still need it. And they had amazing customer service, I have to say. They were like, absolutely. New one. And I had it shipped to the city. I was gonna be back in the city next week, and I didn't want to deal, like, suburban porch. Maybe there's somebody stole it. I don't know.
A
Porch Pirate. You thought. You were correct.
B
A couple of days later, we're, like, leaving the Hamptons and we're, like, cleaning the house. You know, it's the end of season, and I'm on the back porch cleaning, you know, taking some trash out. And what do I see on the back porch? I see my road. There were actually a couple of packages that had accrued there all summer. That's why you got some Dreamland baby pajamas.
A
Yeah, I was looking for them. They kept saying they were delivered, and I was like, I'm at the front door.
B
Right. That's exactly what happened to my Rahone. And I believe both were delivered by dhl. And the DHL man obviously was, like, crazy. Who delivers to the back porch? Like, who even goes to. No, like, FedEx, UPS. Everybody goes to the front porch. So I didn't tell road because they had already sent the replacement. Like, I got two. It was totally innocent.
A
Yeah.
B
I think it's like, am I going to go to jail?
A
Fair. Because, like, of all the, like, free marketing you do for road.
B
True. I deserve the extra toner.
A
You're on their PR list, so, like, they're happy to give you free stuff.
B
I know. But I like to support.
A
So the idea that you got something free from road. Well, they love to give you free from road.
B
Yeah.
A
So.
B
And I just want to say, now that they're in Sephora, like, I can go out and just get. Up until then, I had to order online, so. So I'm thrilled that they're in Sephora. Because now I don't have to deal with, you know, back porch, front porch drama.
A
Yeah, I had a similar.
B
Sorry.
A
I had a similar experience one time, but. But, like, I've made like, I. I didn't do anything wrong, like, yet. Okay.
B
So I'm excited.
A
You know, I love maybe Molly May's brand.
B
Huh? Oh, you're stealing from a small company.
A
No, wait. So I like, I. I guess at one point I ordered like, like two orders in one week. One was for like, a brown set. And I guess I got two pairs of brown pants, also different brown pants. And I forgot about that. So when I opened my package expecting my brown set, there was. They only sent you pants. Pants. I said, excuse me, this is. Yeah, this is preposterous. Yeah, I was like, I didn't get my shirt. Whatever. And they. So they issued me a credit gift card to use to, like, get place my order. Right. So that they didn't send me anything, but they sent me the gift card for the amount that I had spent. And then, like, the next day, like, my set came and I said, arrived, ordered all of these things. That's on me.
B
Yeah.
A
I never used the gift card credit that they.
B
Okay.
A
I just wasted someone's time and made them feel like they did something that's almost worse. Like, made them feel like they were a bad brand. Maybe I stressed out Molly that day. Like, imagine some American girl got two pants.
B
Yeah. And now the company's bankrupt. Because literally, like, shipping will bankrupt a company.
A
Yeah. Well, actually, yeah, I think that was before tariffs anyway, so. Because the last time I ordered from, maybe they were holding up my dhl. They were like, you have to pay this amount. I'm like, what do you mean? Like, you can't just.
B
I just want to say police me. I love road. But like DHL, I'm sorry if it's not FedEx or UPS. Like, scram. If a DHL van. Like, if I lived in a house and I saw like the DHL van pull up, it'd be like, oh, my God, they're coming for me.
A
Well, DHL is so crazy for me. I will go DHL for maybe and for far fetch.
B
No, I don't with DHL at all.
A
I understand. And they're way bills that to say.
B
I'm really sorry, Haley. I'll venmo you. It's like 34.
A
I'm sorry, Molly, if I made you feel like you were your business wasn't up to snuff. You guys, like, did exactly what I asked you to do. And I never used the credit.
B
I feel better.
A
I feel worse.
B
When I saw the road milk on the back porch, I was like, I.
A
Feel like that happens all the time. Especially like on the other side of it. We get so much, like, merch stuff, right? Like this. Do you remember where was this story? I forget whether someone posted it that they ordered a sweatshirt. It never came. They, like, banged down our door. I think they sent them a replacement because it never came. And then like a few months later, she saw her neighbor wearing this.
B
Wearing. So like, we did NFL chili season. This girl made a tick tock. She was like, I bought the NFL chili season merch from Toast and it never arrived. So I asked customer service and they gave me my money back. No, we didn't have any more. So she just got her money, Right.
A
Because it was a limited drop. So also the neighbor couldn't have bought it, like, right.
B
She was like, I was so upset. And then like a few months later, I see my neighbor walking her dog wearing NFL chili season. It obviously just got like shipped to her.
A
Right? And like on our end, we're like.
B
Sweatshirts aren't making it to their destination. So funny. Listen, being business owners, this is what we were saying yesterday. Being in the apparel industry, it's. It's tough.
A
Yeah, it's. And it's very full circle. You know, it happens on both sides. We understand.
B
It does.
A
I understand.
B
Big and small.
A
Our fifth and final story, are you ready for it?
B
If it's our fifth and final story, that's brought to you by Cakes. Yes, Cakes is a toaster owned brand. Also a sister owned brand, which we love. Founded by sisters Taylor and Casey in 2022. You probably might recognize them from their stint on Shark Tank.
A
Oh, yes.
B
So it's their first solution. It was designed in response to an embarrassing case of nipple freak out next to a boss at the gym because the shitty foam sports bra pads fell out. Well, they launched their company with $100,000, no social media followers, and a single Instagram post and prayed that their friends might buy cakes. Well, Cakes covers quickly went viral when women from every stage of life, girls going through puberty, breastfeeding moms, women going through mastectomies, all shared that cakes made them feel flattered and free in their clothing. So sticky cakes are comfortable, seamless adhesive nipple covers that can be worn with every outfit. Sticky cakes are amazing for two reasons. One, they're super seamless. Their large size and shape range ensures seamless coverage that all boobs, sizes and shapes will be covered literally. So from Cakes itty bitty to Cakes plus even cakes triangles, they work great for teardrop shaped girls as well. The other reason they're amazing is because they're really gentle. So the adhesive free non sticky center that we call the nip hook to protect the sensitive nipple area so you get secure coverage without ripping your nipples off. It's dermatologist tested and approved. It's safe for skin. In this era of my life, like my boobs, my nipples are constantly changing and I like that. Cakes covers all different sizes of nipples. They're breastfeeding friendly. They value just like comfort but also seamlessness. It's like what's more embarrassing than like having your actual sticky show? The company has donated over a million dollars to women's health causes and fully funded child care for all their employees, which we love.

A
It. It really does. Our fifth and final story, Real Houses of New Jersey has started test filming without Teresa Giudice. This is a report.
B
What?
A
Yep. So there are potential new cast members who filmed last week with Margaret Joseph's Dolores Catania and Melissa Gorga in mid August. They want to see how the new girls work on camera with some veteran cast members from the show. The insider added that while Teresa wasn't involved in the test shoot, she along with friends Jackie Goldschneider and Jen Fessler are still in consideration to be part of the new season. So I think that whatever they're filming right now isn't even going to be a part of what we see next. They like, really just a test, want to see like what dynamic is going to be. Is it going to be like, you know, the rationals and the new girls or the OG Teresa, the crazies and the new girls.
B
The thing that Teresa doesn't have going for her is her allies. Right. Like Jackie Goldsteiner is not integral to the show, unfortunately. I happen to love Jen Fessler, but like if it's Teresa, Jen and Jackie versus Margaret, Melissa and Dolores, those are three heavy hitters versus like Teresa and you know, two interchangeables. So that doesn't really help Teresa's case. But Teresa's Teresa, you know.
A
Yeah, yeah. I really don't. I will be shocked if they go forward without her.
B
I would be shocked too.
A
But the show does need some shaking up, apparently. Even though I feel like enough time has passed.
B
No, I don't think that it needs shaking up. I think that they will not feel right.
A
Therefore it needs shaking up.
B
Up. Right. And who are these new ladies? Do we know anything about them? The thing is, I feel like Jersey does a good job of hiring newbies. I think a lot of franchises hire new people and they have a lot of like one season wonders who come and go and then eventually they find good people. Everyone in Jersey's crazy and I think it's just ripe with people who would perform well. I can't remember the last time they had just one someone come on for one season.
A
Well, the twins, your favorite it that.
B
Was 10, literally 15 years ago.
A
I know, like Rachel Fooda was a great, great addition Right.
B
Danielle. Like, they. People in Jersey just, like, have a lot of personality, I think. And so I'm not really concerned about them finding new people, but I think the concern is, like, how do we move forward with the people that we.
A
Currently have and, like, blending new people and veterans. They have to have, like.
B
Right. And some veterans refuse to blend. Teresa.
A
Right. Some veterans reflect refused to blend.
B
She just became friends with Jackie Goldschneider, who was a veteran, like, six years ago. We were in the pink studio.
A
Yeah.
B
She doesn't play well with others. The other girls, Margaret and Melissa do, and I think that's, like, to their benefit.
A
Yeah. They love the new girls, especially if you bring on someone who, like, they know, which is how they should do it.
B
They became really good friends with Jackie Goldschnider. Not so much anymore since she. That was. Yep. That was, like, the craziest flip in Housewives history. Jackie Gold Shiner becoming friends with Teresa. Remember the Jackie Goldstein or Teresa Gia Giudice doing coke thing?
A
Yes.
B
That was a crazy. Like, that was such a crazy time in Housewives history. I think Jersey. I don't think Jersey's at a place where they need to pause as seriously as they are. I think some other franchises are obviously there. I don't think Jersey is. I'm a big. But I'm also just a big Jersey fan.
A
Well, the pause has been long at this point. So now they're, like, getting back to work. It'll probably be a while before we get anything on our televisions, but, like, like, they are taking on the task. I think it's good that they saw that Roni reboot did not work, because we don't need a reboot.
B
No, we don't. But I saw that Dolores or somebody, like, they held that annual softball game, but I don't think it was filmed. They just, like, did the charity softball game. That is my favorite episode of Jersey Hospital. Funniest. Agreed. It is hysterical. And the fact that we're not getting it like, that makes me sad and all. A lot of the girlies still participated, and it was all good for charity, but, like, we didn't see it. That's a bummer, because it became one of my favorite installations. And that's why, like, Dolores, she earned her spot.
A
Now this delay is affecting our lives.
B
Yeah.
A
The quality of our lives.
B
And speaking of the days of our lives, it's time for Queenie and Weenie, which is our final segment of the week. Queenie of the week and Weenie of the week. Jackie and I like, to give out two awards at the end of the week just so we can take a look back at a glance what went down this week and deliver two awards. Queenie of the week and we need the Week. They're pretty self explanatory. If you act like a queen of this week, you might be eligible for Queenie of the week. And you acted like a major weaner. This week you might be eligible for we need the week again. It's not that serious. It's seven day title. One day you could be Queenie, one day you could be Weenie. If you're a criminal, you're not going to be weenie. You're obviously just going to be in jail with a weenie in your mouth.
A
Let's start with Queenie as we always do. We start with the positive. My Queenies is a group of people. It might be obvious, but it's just like what I'm feeling in this first week back is the toaster community, including you and I. Like, of course we're the queen for doing the toast, but the whole community for. We made it. We made it to this week.
B
Everyone was supporting women in motherhood.
A
So supportive. I'm sure for some people it's like hard to not have this part of their routine and everyone giving us the space that we needed and we made it back. And like for that we are all queenies.
B
I love that. That's very like teacher of you, but I respect it.
A
It's just like when I think of the week at a glance. It's the week of the Toasters. Like, we did it.
B
I agree mine is similar. It's the Spritz Boys.
A
Oh, that's beautiful.
B
These two college athletes, whom I literally made my entire personality this week brought me so much joy. I was on the edge of my seat watching them. I'm looking forward to like, you know, seeing what they do in their illustrious careers. And they were very Queenie like this week. So the Spritz Boys are my Queenies.
A
I love that. My weenies. And the thing is, like, weenie's not a harsh enough term here.
B
But I, by the way, I feel like we have the same weenie.
A
I need to bring up this situation that has made me see the nurses. The nurses may. That's so crazy read this week. I was almost going to make it a story, but then like other stuff came up. But then when I realized it was Queenie and we, I'm like, this is the perfect time to discuss what I saw this week that has just made Me so irate.
B
So this tick tock went viral of a bunch of nurses making content in their practice. It's.
A
It's an OBGYN practice clinic in Santa Barbara. I believe it's an urgent care there.
B
So they went viral for all the wrong reasons.
A
Yeah. So they made a video. And how many nurses do I see? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. And there are two men and. Oh, no, three men, three women. So this.
B
And I just want to say the men are even more egregious for participating in this. Like, women should know better, but, like, men get out of here.
A
So they made a video saying, are patients allowed to leave you guys gifts? That's what was captioned on the video.
B
The question that they get asked.
A
And then they each started posing with the sheets. You know, when you let go to the doctor and you lay on the table, they put a fresh sheet down for hygiene.
B
Plastic.
A
And then the part where, like, you would sit where it gets wet, they were posing with, like. Like, you know, wet spots. Wet spots that women had left right from their examination.
B
Pap smear. Yeah.
A
So of course it was like, yeah.
B
We get left gifts, like your liquids. Like, like, that was the joke.
A
So unfunny, so unethical. Just, like, so egregious.
B
Like, as if it's not embarrassing enough to have to go to the obgyn. And I think a lot of women actually don't go because it's so awkward and invasive and. And you just expect. I'm sorry, There's. There's just no excuse for not having the highest level of maturity, of discretion, of competence. Anything less than that is unacceptable. And this, publicly making jokes. I wish.
A
They're like, take. They're, like, smiling next to the stains or, like, sticking their tongue out. Like, just being like.
B
So men participate.
A
And I just want to say they act like they're not shoving a glob of jelly up your vagina in the examination. It just comes back.
B
Now, even a perfect vagina, there's liquid.
A
Yeah. But like.
B
Like, there's something wrong when they're showing.
A
Like, a big stain. Like, they're. They put that in you for the. They act like this just came out of nowhere.
B
They also put a big metal rod. Like, of course there's gonna be stuff.
A
Yeah. Like, it's called gravity, my friend.
B
Now, this is not helping. You know, there's a theory that, like, all high school bullies become nurses. And this is obviously not helping the theory. And I just want to say, love the nurses. Is it like It. Yeah. Because nurses, like, love to get mad. This is not helping the reputation that, like, all nurses were former school bullies. Just saying.
A
Yeah. This is really, really, really awful.
B
I hate every single one of these people who participated. And I really don't know who I'm more disappointed in, like, the men or the women. Like, the women really should know better about, like, women's health and how personal it is and how, you know, how caring you need to be. Right.
A
Practically speaking. Okay, so you're saying, like, we shouldn't leave that there when we go to the doctor. Like, because we like to be gift that you didn't like.
B
Right, Right.
A
So I should write.
B
Right.
A
I should rip off the paper and, like, pulled. Pull it down.
B
Great. You're out of a job.
A
No, but then it's like, when you come in, you don't know that that's clean or dirty. I could have sat there and not left anything.
B
So that's you making your job easier by leaving myself.
A
Right. So then you're gonna do. Because I've thought that before. Like, should I. Like. But then it's like. But then they won't know that this is a dirty one. And then if I put down a new one, you might not know that that's clean. And then you might. You might be wasteful, and you might take it off and put another and would be wasting, which would be a.
B
Greater crime than anything.
A
Upsetting and so mad.
B
I feel like sometimes I see things on the Internet that are so upsetting and there's not enough rage and outrage from it. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm so different than my fellow man, because this makes me so mad. And it just, like, people go on with their day. Everyone was so upset by this. They have all been terminated from their positions. I hope they never get another job in health care and ever again, because I feel like there are a lot of things in this world, like, nothing sacred anymore. Right. You know, like. But I do feel like HIPAA is, like, the one thing teetering our, like, holding our society back from the edge. Like, we respect hipaa. You know, celebrities, like, they go and have babies all the time. Like, we don't hear about it. You know, it's really. HIPAA is the one thing we have. And when you cross the HIPAA line, that's like the Scott Disick thing when he was in rehab and they took pictures of him on screenshot, on the zoom. When we don't have hipaa, we don't have anything.
A
Yeah. And I I imagine that, like, people who go into medicine, like, have to follow a code of ethics that if you.
B
Hipaa.
A
Yeah, but. And if you don't follow, like, there will be consequences. Not just you could get fired from your job, but you could lose your license, you know?
B
Yeah. It's called hipaa.
A
So where would is that? Like, it's. Where does that kick in here?
B
I believe there's. There has to be an investigation. Where's the such a big story? Yeah, I believe the board is getting involved. I think, like, I do believe you need a license to nurse, and I think those licenses should be revoked. I'm ready for jail time. Like, I'm so mad.
A
Yeah, I'm so mad. And if, you know, if anyone here. There's so many of them too. Like.
B
Yeah, it's like, not one person was like, damn, this is a bad idea.
A
And it's not like there's like one bad seat at the practice. It was like, everyone there is a horrible person.
B
Yeah. They all, like, filmed each other.
A
Yeah. No, and it's like a big. How many people work here? They just fired everyone. Did they have to close the practice?
B
No, like, justice for the practice. Like, whoever owns the practice, like, this is not their fault. But, like, I would never, ever go to this practice.
A
Never.
B
And of all the types of doctor's offices to like, have a scandal like this, like, I'm sorry there's not a worse one than an obgyn. There's just not. Like, I wish this happened anywhere else, you know, Actually, I guess, like, maybe a pediatrician's office would be worse for sure.
A
It's just so bad. It made me so mad I.
B
That it's actually worse than Weenie of the Week.
A
I know, but I needed to touch on it.
B
Agreed. And this was the perfect touch point. I just want to say honorable mention to my runner up for Weedy of the week, which is the members of Fifth Harmony for being weenie. Like, I just wanted. I wanted to circle, you know, close the circle at the beginning of the week. Yeah.
A
They would have won, you know, had these doctors not done what they're not withstanding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would have been classic case.
B

Episode Theme:
A lively, highly conversational Friday episode with Jackie and Claudia covering key pop culture stories, their own lives, and the much-anticipated return of their weekly “Queenie and Weenie” segment. The sisters reflect on fandom, current TV, body image and language, trending celebrity news, and end with a passionate critique of viral TikTok nurse misconduct, all in their trademark sharp, irreverent style.
Jackie and Claudia kick off this Friday by debriefing a recent emotional sports loss and celebrate personal and communal wins, including their public acknowledgement by parenting authority Emily Oster. The bulk of the episode flows through candid discussions about reality TV, the nuances of being online creators, celebrity trivia, food habits, subscription fatigue, pop culture news (notably the Royal Family, White Lotus, and Justin Bieber), and closes with the fan-favorite “Queenie and Weenie” rundown—which this week dives into a viral controversy involving nurses behaving inappropriately on TikTok. The sisters’ banter is frank, affectionate, wryly self-aware, and full of quotable moments.

In sum:
Packed with topical pop culture news, zesty sibling banter, and a healthy dose of social commentary, this episode is peak “Toast”—moving smoothly from the light and trivial to a nuanced, cathartic take-down of genuine public health misconduct, all while making listeners laugh and think.
