Transcript

[Jackie]

Good morning, millennials.

[Claudia]

Welcome back to the toast and happy Wednesday. A hump day. Which makes sense because Jackie and I are dressed like a bunch of camels today.

[Jackie]

We've got two humps on this hump day. Turdy and I are twinning lumps. Actually, you and I are the two humps because we're both twinning and camel.

[Claudia]

And it's a big day, you guys. It's merch launch day. So our fall merch shop that we have been teasing all week finally launches today, 10am so it's already out. And the website, of course, is hermes.com. it's shoptoastmerch.com our big collection. This is like our final collection, like, big collection for the end of the year. So usually we do December one, but we decided to do this one. Like more autumnal, collegiate vibes. So if you're wanting to get someone something for the holidays, we have hats, we have bags, we have sweatshirts, we have sweatpants, we have T shirts, we have cardigans. For the very first time, I feel.

[Jackie]

Like such a broken record. Because about everything I'm saying, like, this is my favorite thing we've ever launched. But then I'm saying that about everything. But I mean it truly. Like the cardigan, the tea, the camel logo, the girly swirly university where I got like a five star education. And then garagey par. I can finally wear that across my chest like it's a beautiful thing.

[Claudia]

And a couple of housekeeping things. Shall we get a lot of questions about sizing? Jackie and I both wear mediums for if I was just getting the crew neck, I would probably get a large, so I could do like oversized with leggings. But when I wear it as a set, I like it to be more fitted. So if you're getting the whole set, I would go your regular size. Everything really runs true to size. The T shirt, the girly T shirt in white is meant to be fitted. So if you're looking for like a looser fit, I would size up again. But everything really runs true to size. That's first. I just know. Refrigerator open. Like, am I okay?

[Jackie]

You left your refrigerator running. You better go catch it.

[Claudia]

Can we close the refrigerator?

[Jackie]

If you like an oversized tea, like what we've done in the past, there is a girly tea in the shade. Mushroom that is.

[Claudia]

It's toasty.

[Jackie]

Oh, sorry. Toasty. It's in the shade mushroom that is oversized. And the quality of it is a little bit thicker than what we launched in the spring because it is fall now, so it's a little bit thicker stock.

[Claudia]

Also wanted to note that because we, we really try not to do most of our drops, we do pre order, so everybody can order exactly what they want. Nothing sells out. That does mean that the lead time for shipping is a little bit longer. So it says four to five weeks right now. But you'll be able to get everything you want. You won't have to like, you know, be crying because you're getting like a size you didn't want or an item that you wanted sold out. So just keep in mind four to five weeks and you can get whatever you want. So that's right. Nothing's going to sell out. We're going to close the shop in a few days. But you have time.

[Jackie]

Yeah. So head to Shoptoast Merch Comm Merch is the best week because we finally get to wear all the stuff we've been working on. I don't have to think about what I'm wearing.

[Claudia]

That's it.

[Jackie]

And we look amazing.

[Claudia]

That's it. Like not having to think about outfits. And I guess that's what it's like being a kid when your parents would, like, lay your clothes out for you. It's. I actually, I don't even know if I realize, like, what a burden it is on me especially because, like, you know, we are on camera and everybody's like, you know, it does hurt when everybody's like, Jackie looks great today. And I'm just like, okay, now I'm a big piece of duty.

[Jackie]

No, it really hurts when they're like, slob.

[Claudia]

I know what you're saying.

[Jackie]

Well, I mean, yeah, but it's, it's, it's tough. And then the day, some days I'm like, I'm zapping my Posey up. I'm dressing up. And like, then I feel so stupid.

[Claudia]

But anytime I find that I look better.

[Jackie]

On days where I'm just cozy, anytime.

[Claudia]

I get dressed up, I feel incredibly stupid. Like on Friday's episode. Actually didn't even get to talk about this. Right. I had to run out of the toast because I got an opportunity. There was like a meeting being held with the President of Israel. I got to meet the president Israel. I actually have like a picture I need to post. So I got like, dressed up. I was wearing like a really nice style, like sweater dress boots with the fur, like heels. I felt so stupid. We're like sitting here talking about like, Brianna Chicken Fry and Zach Brian, and I'm like, literally going to a business meeting.

[Jackie]

No, there have been some times where I do something in the morning that requires me to, like, wear a dress or look nice. And it's like, well, why not go to work looking so nice? Because, like, why. Why take it down a notch? And I just look so stupid in my chair with my headphones. Like, in my dress.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And I.

[Jackie]

That I never want to do it.

[Claudia]

I often feel like the more put together and fancy I look, the worse my performance is on the toes. Like, my level. My level of comfort is parallel with my level of funny. Like, it's just all to say.

[Jackie]

That's probably why this week has been amazing. Toast wise. Amazing looks wise. Plus, we get to twin, which I love to twin with my twin.

[Claudia]

Yeah, me too.

[Jackie]

My twin flame, Turdi.

[Claudia]

Like, you're so positive today, and I wanna be on your level. I, like, snap my neck in my sleep, which is. It's been happening to me a lot in my older age. It always happens in my sleep. So it's like I go to bed happy and I wake up. What happened?

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

And the way I wanna seriously snap my own neck and just kill someone, it is so, like, I can't even talk. And I'm so animated when I talk. Yeah. Yeah. I can't do my thing.

[Jackie]

You can't yap, as the kids say.

[Claudia]

I can't yap, as the kids say.

[Jackie]

I'm really sorry. I've been there so many times. It's the worst thing. I do believe that our beds are too soft. And we human beings are, like, meant to sleep on the floor, you know?

[Claudia]

I know. And Ben was like, well, tonight you'll have to sleep with no pillows. Yada, yada. And I'm like, why? It's not gonna help it get better. There is a certain amount of time I have to suffer before. Like, it's just nothing I do is gonna move it along. Like, it's just probably two, three days that I have to suffer. And then I will be better. And I could spend those two, three days, icy hot, sleeping on the floor. Or I could just live my life, and it'll be the same amount of time before I feel better.

[Jackie]

We're not meant to sleep on the floor, you know, there's grass, Jackie.

[Claudia]

They say, like, when you really throw out your back, you're supposed to sleep on your dining room table. Like, flat, hard.

[Jackie]

Oh, my. But this is something that we've known for a while. It happens to me every few weeks because my bed is just too soft. And one day, I will deal with that.

[Claudia]

I have so Many other things. I need to deal with that. Like, it's just.

[Jackie]

I love my bed.

[Claudia]

It's not a priority. Oh, yeah. And I love my bed.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

So last night I told you I'm very much, like, in my cable era, and I decided to do something a little crazy.

[Jackie]

I know what you did, because you actually FaceTimed with me last night, even though you haven't been FaceTiming with me.

[Claudia]

Yeah, we're. Jackie and I are kind of, like, working through a little family issue. Meanwhile, I had to talk to your husband. I had such a terrible dream about him. Like, I need to make sure he's okay. I feel like my dreams are actually, like, really connected with what's going on in the world. I feel like maybe Zach needs to talk to me about something.

[Jackie]

Like, the issue that Claudia and I are having is a scheduling issue because she's been watching a lot of TV with her husband, which is, like, beautiful for your relationship. You watch Harry Potter, you watch Gilmore Girls. Like, it brings you together. But when he's watching with you, like, he doesn't let us FaceTime. And, like, literally, he has a timer on. The other night, he said, I beg to get five questions.

[Claudia]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

And I didn't even. And he said yes. And then I didn't even get to ask five questions.

[Claudia]

So I've definitely felt like Jackie and I aren't communicating as well as we once did. And last night, Ben was out to dinner. Jackie and I were on FaceTime for, like, two.

[Jackie]

Party two hours, doing nothing. Like, he thinks we just, like, I'm. It's a need to have conversation. No, I just want to, like, be on the phone with my sister.

[Claudia]

And so we've come to the conclusion that my husband is driving a wedge between us. Trying to, like, you know, just watch Harry Potter. No. Trying to definitely separate us. Like, I don't.

[Jackie]

The thing is, I don't think the intent is bad. I don't think he's trying to separate us. I think he just wants to watch his show, but he doesn't understand, like, how important. Like, he. You know what he said? He said, screw sisterhood.

[Claudia]

Well, it's so important to note that if Ben and I were watching something and he took a phone call, like, from anyone.

[Jackie]

It's different. It's different.

[Claudia]

I would say it's not sisterhood. Are you fucking kidding?

[Jackie]

No.

[Claudia]

Let's say. Let's say it was his sister. Let's say Maddie called.

[Jackie]

It's not sisterhood.

[Claudia]

That's his sister.

[Jackie]

It's brothers and sisters.

[Claudia]

Okay, true. Different. I would say get the fuck out. Like, I would seriously be, like, siblinghood. Are you crazy?

[Jackie]

It's sibling revelry, if you will.

[Claudia]

It's sibling revelry, if you will.

[Jackie]

I know.

[Claudia]

I understand, like, the concept of interrupting. Like, it's annoying. But this is my life partner. Like, my business partner. Like, scram.

[Jackie]

Seriously, scram.

[Claudia]

He doesn't. So if you've guys been feeling, like, a sort of tension on the toast, like, Jackie and I aren't as close as we used to be. That's why.

[Jackie]

Or maybe it's actually the opposite, where we do all this nonsensical catching up on the toast because we don't get to do it at other points of the day.

[Claudia]

I actually agree. But wait, so you were on FaceTime with me when I decided to make this decision last night? Because I've been watching Jeopardy. Every night. It's kind of becoming, like, my new favorite thing. I feel so smart whenever I get an answer right. Like, it's just really. It's kind of one of the highlights of my day. And then I just leave the TV on and Wheel of Fortune. I watch passively. It's really so dumb. Like, I can't. Okay. And I just want to say I'm not into Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White. Like, it's the old and the new. We either needed to get both of them out or both of them in. Like, it's wrong. But then Dancing with the Stars was on at 8:00, and I was like, all right, you know what? Like, I'll watch it. I'm always talking about it, like, peripherally on the toast. Maybe I could know what I'm talking about. Now I'm not going to be able to know what I'm talking about because I found the show, like, so impossible to watch that I was on my phone the entire time.

[Jackie]

But I did with me.

[Claudia]

I did catch, like, glimpses of things here and there.

[Jackie]

Yeah, she was talking to me.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And I just have a major critique of the show that I have to share because we're at the place where, like, there's fewer people left and everybody's scores are getting better. I think there's a point in the show when, like, everybody's getting, like, eights, nines, and tens. And I'm going to single out Danny Amidola, but it was happening to everyone. Okay, so this is not, like, a statement on Damien, Danny Amidola's, like, dancing career. He got a 10.

[Jackie]

Just make an example out of him because he can Take it.

[Claudia]

Yes. And it's emblematic of the entire issue. And I'm new to Dancing with the Stars. I really never watched. So I'm sure you guys know this, but I didn't. But, like, I didn't know we were giving out tens to amateurs. Like, that. Was that a 10? A perfect 10 means there's no.

[Jackie]

I'm like, right.

[Claudia]

He was so stiff and like. Yeah. He didn't forget any moves. He did everything right. I was like, are you kidding? A Ted. Like, how low is the bar? I was so shocked. And I was like, this show is not serious. Is that a serious show?

[Jackie]

I understand that.

[Claudia]

And to be honest, and I have said this before, first of all, if anybody wants to know who I think should win, it's Dwight Howard. But that's neither here nor there. It's so easy for the men. And by the way, there's mostly men left. I think it's two women, Chandler and Ilona.

[Jackie]

Pommel horse Steve Chandler.

[Claudia]

I actually don't know her. She's like, this very beautiful girl. I've never seen her before in my life. Disney. She's a Disney. Okay. But then there's pommel horse Steve. Joey, the Bachelor. Rome has an ancient vibe to it.

[Jackie]

Greece.

[Claudia]

Old school vibe. Old school vibe.

[Jackie]

Grease.

[Claudia]

Dwight Howard, Danny Amendola. So it's mostly men. It's so much easier for the men to get a perfect 10. Like, all they have to do is properly lift the girls, who are three pounds and they're professional athletes. Dwight Howard can lift this girly no problem. Like, it's actually biased. It's. It's not playing field.

[Jackie]

You don't think it's harder for men to dance in general? Like, to.

[Claudia]

Well, it depends on the man. Sometimes a man comes on and you could tell they seriously have no rhythm. And honestly, like, right. If Dave Portnoy ever went on Dancing with the Stars, he would be out first because one thing. And they released, like, a bunch of bloopers from him recording his diss track. And it was exactly as I thought. The man has no rhythm. The person who wrote the song had to literally repeat every line to Dave and he had to copy it exactly. He could not stay on beat. It's. If you have rhythm like I do, you have to watch. It's infuriating, Jackie. Like, he can't see be go. Like he was.

[Jackie]

That is so funny.

[Claudia]

It was a very funny clip. But some people have rhythm and some people don't. And I think that, like, you could tell, like, the gymnastics guy, you have to have rhythm to do those routines.

[Jackie]

Yes.

[Claudia]

White Howard totally, like, can kill it at a Bat Mitzvah dance floor. Like, he has rhythm. So if you have the basic basics. Yes. But some people, I think that's gender regardless. Like, if you don't have rhythm, like, you really can't dance.

[Jackie]

I agree with that.

[Claudia]

So everyone's been wanting me to watch Chanting with the Stars. And you know what? You got what you asked for. I really didn't like it. Okay. Like, oh, my God. And I don't know how you guys put up with like. I forgot this thing about cable. It reminded me of the Bachelor, like, how they play with you. Two hours.

[Jackie]

That's so crazy.

[Claudia]

Two hours. So many commercials. And then they did like a pop up challenge where like everybody did their performances. And I was like, we've literally been here. There's a whole hour left. What are we gonna do? Surprise. Here's your category. Go plan a dance. I mean, to like, they all had five minutes to put together a dance and choreography and, like, come back. Like, it was so color war. It was so stupid.

[Jackie]

Yeah. I was gonna say it's like camp. And not in a good way. Like, I don't want to watch someone's camp on tv.

[Claudia]

So I fear I cabled a little too close to the sun.

[Jackie]

Honestly, I'm sorry for you. I finished, I continued, not finished reading my Frida Rita.

[Claudia]

Frida Rita.

[Jackie]

And the fact that it's taking me this many days tells you everything you need to know because a frida is a 24 hour read.

[Claudia]

So I think there's something happening with Frida. I experienced something the same where I was like, it was the only books I wanted to read. They were so quick and easy. They were adding to my account. And then you get one that's just like seriously bad and you're like, had I, I, I Frida too close to the sun? Yeah, mine was, I forget what it was called, but it was about this, like, coworker who goes missing.

[Jackie]

Interesting. So I'll finish the book and like, it's, it's, it's fine. But I'm looking forward to moving on. Maybe reading, maybe reading what you suggested.

[Claudia]

The Many lives of Mama Love. Oprah's Book Club. Now if you're gonna read it, here's something I only figured out after that I feel is important, like, to the story. It's called the Many Lives of Mama Love. And the author is Lara Love. So it's her story. I didn't realize it was like a memoir. It's Kind of. It's like Memoirs of a Mama. It read like a fiction book.

[Jackie]

Like, okay, I kind of like that.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And Oprah's actually in the book. It's cool.

[Jackie]

Okay, I'm open.

[Claudia]

Yeah, I think you're open. And now I'm on my, you know, prison reform shit. Like, it really. It's one of those book that opens your eyes to the system kind of how like Demon Copperhead. After I read that book, I'm like, Child and Family Services is disgusting. This entire system for kids, like, who are growing up in poverty and, like, it's disgraceful. It's literally pharma. Of course it's built to destroy the lives of these children. Like, honestly, they're not. They have not helped one person in their life. Like, that was my takeaway from Demon Copperhead. You will have that same takeaway from the prison system from this book.

[Jackie]

Oh, I could see that being.

[Claudia]

She's like one of the few who actually got out, like, by her own sheer will and determination.

[Jackie]

Like Demon.

[Claudia]

Like Demon. Yeah. So, yeah, that's just like kind of what we do here at the Toast. We. We talk about the government agencies.

[Jackie]

We go down a myriad of rabbit holes. The government agencies are very much in the news.

[Claudia]

They are. Wait, also, I was going to say run a show. We have Dear Toasters today, but that reminded me that yesterday, you know, Jackie and I feel really bad that last week or whenever it was the week before, we forgot Dear to. And we know that the community was outraged with us. We received death threats, backlash. Like, we heard your cries and we won't do it again, we promise. But to make up for it, we recorded an entire 45 minute podcast and video episode exclusively going through Dear Toaster submissions. It's on our Patreon and we just do it every.

[Jackie]

Every few months on Patreon. Anyway, it's just if everyone loves a little dt, we wanted to give back to the community and we did. And it's up on our Patreon right now.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And we'll do. We'll still do. Don't worry. This week, three submissions.

[Jackie]

Even though we actually have like, like, really good stories today. The big celeb news of the day.

[Claudia]

Finally sma.

[Jackie]

So I actually feel like. No, I'm the last one to say it. I actually feel like we should make haste and get into the fast five stories that you need to know.

[Claudia]

And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Good American, Good Americans. Always Fits jeans are a total game changer. So whether it's a big lunch, a few drinks with friends, or even that time of the month, their jeans will fit like a dream. No matter what.

[Jackie]

Thank you dot turt.

[Claudia]

You're welcome.

[Jackie]

Our first story, the big celeb news of the day. Finally, people's Sexiest man alive has been announced and it is John Krasinski.

[Claudia]

Now I heard two things about this that I feel like ruined my take on it. So I want to get your take and then I'll read the two things that Dumas posted that really shook me up.

[Jackie]

Okay, I think this is a great choice. I think that it covers like People magazine's demographic while also being like objectively a good call, pretty relevant. And I think everybody really likes this guy. Not. And that's coming from someone who like actually hasn't fallen into John Krasinski. Laura. I don't watch the Office. I watch Jack Ryan. I don't watch A Simple Place. Objectively he's a good looking man and.

[Claudia]

Simple place, a quiet place.

[Jackie]

And Cody Simpson's getting a cma.

[Claudia]

Correct.

[Jackie]

Objectively, he's nice looking. I know people really love him and even though I'm not even a part of it, I think this is such a great choice. So I can only imagine how people who love him feel about this.

[Claudia]

Okay, that's a good take.

[Jackie]

Now do what was your initial take?

[Claudia]

I didn't. I literally saw the announcement, this dummy thing on Twitter. Like, it was the first thing I saw when I woke up. And there was two blinds that she had read.

[Jackie]

I'm shocked at what you could say that could ruin people's sma.

[Claudia]

Well, the first was that, FYI, Glenn Powell was aggressively courted for Sexiest Men Alive and he turned People magazine down. He joins the ranks of Ryan Gosling, Jason Momoa and Keanu Reeves in terms of stars who have been begged to be Sexiest man Alive, but who have absolutely refused. Okay, then this is the blind that, like, really made me, like, question everything. Okay, this a list actor who is starting to fall from stardom was willing to pay millions of dollars to be, quote, chosen as 2024 Sexiest Man Alive. He knows that people are losing interest in him and he thinks that spending the money on the title is a good investment in gaining back momentum for his career.

[Jackie]

I do not believe that. Okay, like, because if that's true, that's just like the nuttiest thing I ever heard that really.

[Claudia]

I didn't know you could pay.

[Jackie]

I don't think. I don't believe it. I just want to say, like, and John Krasinski is not my fave, but I'm going to trust your guys's fate because he literally says in the article, like, he immediately blacked out when he was told he's going to be people.

[Claudia]

Keep in mind these are actors. Like, they are deluded.

[Jackie]

I know, but, like, I don't. I mean, I know people bold face, lie to your face, but until they, I can confirm that they've done it once. Like, I do give people the benefit of the doubt and I've not seen John Krasinski to be a liar. And I also don't agree with that blurb that, like, he's waning from public interest. I think he's doing just fine.

[Claudia]

And I think he's like, at a level where even if he's not doing public outings and things, like, he's always eternally famous, he's at that level now. Let me, like, really strip back and give you my thoughts. Like, I'm not offended by this choice whatsoever. Again, he's not my favorite. I actually don't particularly think he's, like, good looking, but I know there are people who, like, die for Jim and Pam and Jack Ryan and all that. So again, I'm happy for them. I. And I think I feel this way often about People magazine. Like, they, they always just make like, A. It's, like, so obvious, you know? Like, do something crazy.

[Jackie]

I think it should be a little bit obvious, though.

[Claudia]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

For what this is.

[Claudia]

I don't know. Well, they do, like. You know what? Never mind. I'm not gonna say that.

[Jackie]

Who would have been, like, a crazy.

[Claudia]

I don't know.

[Jackie]

I even think, like, Jeremy Allen White would have been a crazy choice because he is, like, still kind of niche. He's on one show.

[Claudia]

He's not niche. He's not niche. We are just used to People magazine choosing men over 40. He would be the youngest person to ever be chosen.

[Jackie]

I also think that's a good precedent. I don't know. Like, maybe we could also have a different publication. Do, like, Maxim, Sexiest, Hottest Guy. But, like, I like what People magazine does, and I like that they don't stray too far from it. Like, it's a. It's an older, more established man. Everybody really knows them.

[Claudia]

It's interesting to me that People magazine is not ordinarily a publication. Stars at this level. Whatever. Sit down for an interview. For now, a lot of them make an exception for the Sexiest Man Alive thing. It's Glenn Powell. Actually, Glenn Powell, yesterday or maybe this morning, was announced as a cover star of Vanity Fair with, like, the. Like, Jonathan Bailey, Nicole Kidman, like, the big movie stars of this season. And so it's clear he's, like, really in a different stratosphere, and he's on this path of, like, Hollywood movie star. We haven't had, like, a real male movie star in a while. Like, that's what he wants to be. Very like Tom Cruz back in the day. So I can actually see him turning this down. And I do feel like perhaps there was a time where John Krasinski would have said no to this, but not anymore.

[Jackie]

Yeah, I think he's at the right place in his career, as they. The sexiest man usually is because it's.

[Claudia]

More of a sunset season.

[Jackie]

That's. Yeah. A sunset season. And I understand why Glenn Powell would have said no if that part is true. It's a little too, like, commercial and corny. And I know he wants to be taken seriously. And there is, like, there is something lovingly corny about Gwen Glenn Powell. And I don't think he wants to do, like, more of that. Like, he's. He's all set.

[Claudia]

He wants to win an Oscar. Like, and I think that that's the route he's taken in. And that's not, like, a commercial thing. Like, you don't do big. People Magazine Spreads when you want to win an Oscar, like, you're very low key artist, you know, don't talk to me.

[Jackie]

Yeah. So I think. And of course, you know, if this is just about sexiness, period, he's not the Adonis, the, you know, but he's very typically the sexiest man.

[Claudia]

He's very good looking. It's an unoffensive choice. It's appeals to a lot of Americans. And it's a good choice.

[Jackie]

I think. It's a really good choice.

[Claudia]

It's a good choice.

[Jackie]

Not a really good choice.

[Claudia]

Well, the idea of, like, what Dumas said, like, him begging and paying for this, like, makes me cringe. So that's like the only thing ruining this for me.

[Jackie]

Okay, but do you think there's a possibility that that's not true?

[Claudia]

Of course, of course. But, like, I. I'm only seeing it through the lens.

[Jackie]

Dumont said something else this week that broke my heart.

[Claudia]

What?

[Jackie]

That Ariel Frankel was out on a date with Gobbledygoop.

[Claudia]

With what?

[Jackie]

Who? I don't know.

[Claudia]

Googler. Oh, but you don't know me from Criminal Minds. He's like, everyone.

[Jackie]

I don't know who that is. Gobbledygook.

[Claudia]

Oh, okay, so if you don't know who Gobbledygoop is, then, like, I could see how that would upset you because I know you want her to be with that other Jewish character from the Bachelor. Having said that, like, he. People are obsessed with him. He plays what the hell's his name in Criminal Minds. Like, people are. I love Criminal Minds and I love him. And, like, I totally get the. There is an obsession with this guy, and I don't even know if he's ever publicly dated anyone. And now his first sighting is with Ariel, Jewish queen from the Bachelor. Like, I'm actually not upset about it at all.

[Jackie]

Okay, I'll be less.

[Claudia]

It's a huge pull for her if. If true.

[Jackie]

Okay, even if it's not true, the fact that they're associated, like, it's just really great for her. I want greatness for her, so I will support her. I just am going to be mourning like, the off that never was.

[Claudia]

Yeah, no, I totally get you. I just want to see.

[Jackie]

But I'm glad to know that he's worthy of our swirly. What's his last name? Gobbler.

[Claudia]

Matthew Gray Gubler. G U B L E R. It's a blueberry gobbler. I do believe he actually might be Jewish.

[Jackie]

Oh, my gosh. Okay, this is great news, Matthew. Let me look. Let Me? Look at him with a keen eye now. He's really cute.

[Claudia]

He's super cute. Really successful. Huge. Like, people are obsessed with him.

[Jackie]

Oh, he's in your favorite movie, rv.

[Claudia]

Wait, what?

[Jackie]

Who is he?

[Claudia]

Wait, who is he in rv?

[Jackie]

I don't know. That's what came up on Google. He does look familiar, but I've not seen anything that he's been in.

[Claudia]

He's really from Criminal Minds. Like, and that's it. Okay. Oh, my God. Yeah, he's the one who helps them with the septic. I fucking love rv. Okay. It all comes back to rv. Yeah.

[Jackie]

He's really cute. I'm happy for her and Jackie.

[Claudia]

He's Jewish. Does that change things for you?

[Jackie]

I accept it does change things for me. It does.

[Claudia]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

I just want greatness for her. I'll support her in anything she does.

[Claudia]

Let me tell you, I know this is, like, a blind spot in your pop culture knowledge, and I can tell you, like, it's a really good thing for her.

[Jackie]

Okay, great.

[Claudia]

It would be like, I'm trying to make a comparison that you would know. I don't know. But just have faith in me. Like, this is amazing.

[Jackie]

Okay. Yay.

[Claudia]

Yeah. Like, there's, like, Jeremy. While it was nice, he's not, like, the only Jewish guy out there, you know?

[Jackie]

No, I know, but I just love the idea of, like, the Bachelor. Of course. Of course.

[Claudia]

Of course. And they had that video together. I thought that was, like, a hard launch.

[Jackie]

I thought so, too.

[Claudia]

No, she was spotted with the Goobs. What did you call him? Gobbledygook. Seriously? Top five funniest things you ever said.

[Jackie]

Matthew Gray Gubler. Okay, I'll book it.

[Claudia]

Yeah, no, he's one to watch.

[Jackie]

She's one to watch. And so I asked Moses. He's one to watch.

[Claudia]

No, that's a good one. So hopefully, either all of the things that Dumois said are true or none. Like, it's so hard to know. You really have to use your judgment.

[Jackie]

Yeah. I think some things are true and some things aren't. I'm going to give John Krasinski the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe he doesn't deserve it, but I'm going to give it to him.

[Claudia]

And I just want to say I can see a world in which they would have chosen him. Like, he wasn't begging or paying. Like, I can see it's not so out of the realm of possibility. Oh, no. And he doesn't seem like the kind to be, like, so obsessed with how relevant he is. Like, he's made a lot of money.

[Jackie]

Him out to be this huge loser. He has this huge show on Prime. He. It's being made into a movie.

[Claudia]

I heard also, like, you know, part of a, an A list Hollywood couple that everyone's obsessed with. Like, there's, there's relevance in that.

[Jackie]

I don't think it's true. Okay. But thank you for bringing it to the discussion table. It's very.

[Claudia]

My pleasure.

[Jackie]

Are you ready for our next story?

[Claudia]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

About one of our favorite couples. Olivia Munn is sharing a lot about the early days of her relationship with John Mulaney to gq.

[Claudia]

So for some people, the early days of her relationship with Javelini is like the most important thing in their lives. Like, because the timeline, you know, there's.

[Jackie]

And they're going to be like, seriously sat for this because she's admitting that she barely KN John Mulaney when she got pregnant. They weren't even dating yet. She says. She said it wasn't anything close to dating when she found out she was expecting their son Malcolm, quote, I barely knew him. She talked to GQ because he is on the COVID of Comedian of the Year for gq and she talks about how they got together again in 2021. She said at the time he was looking for an apartment in New York City after splitting from his ex wife. And Olivia referred him to a friend and they began talking again at some point, developing a more intimate relationship.

[Claudia]

I told you something. I'm sorry, because this is harking back to a conversation we had when we were talking about the Grammys. Like, and I think John Mulaney's amazing. You guys know, like, I love him and I think he's really successful. I don't think he was the comedian of the Year, like, these arbitrary titles. And that's what I was saying about, like, comedy, like, the new world of comedy has, like, a lot of catching up to do to, like, the OG it's like a very old school type of thing. And so if you're not like, you know, on the road, like the whole podcast and special, I feel like is not like Shane Gillis was the comedian of the year, you know.

[Jackie]

Yeah, well, it's Sheq. This is their Men of the Year issue. And then like in the comedian category, it's Shyamalani, but he also got the COVID I think we're gonna be. We have to just accept these things because we're getting into the list time.

[Claudia]

I know, but I hate when the lists aren't accurate.

[Jackie]

Like, it really, to me this isn't the worst choice they could have made. Like, no.

[Claudia]

But was it the biggest year for John Mulaney?

[Jackie]

No.

[Claudia]

I feel like he was literally in hiding. He had a second kid. Like, what did he even do?

[Jackie]

Didn't he put out a special this year?

[Claudia]

I don't think so.

[Jackie]

Not like abilities of prison.

[Claudia]

No, that was Baby J John Mulaney special.

[Jackie]

You saw him at the Lighthouse. That was really big for him.

[Claudia]

Yes. And he had said, like, he really hasn't done much this year. Oh, he did that. Netflix is a joke festival that they televised for Netflix. He had like a little late night show. My, like, where he had people come with you.

[Jackie]

Like there were.

[Claudia]

It was called Everybody's in la. Yeah. Okay. Not to be like a stickler for the lists, but it just goes without saying, like, if we're taking a look at this year at a glance, Comedian of the Year for Men wasn't. Yeah, sorry, continue.

[Jackie]

So she. She said that she was excited when she told him that she was pregnant. However, she added, it wasn't necessarily we're going to be married and live together or any of that, but it was I will be involved in some way. She initially assumed they would simply co parent their child while she lived in LA and he remained in New York. However, the two would talk every once in a while or he would come visit her throughout her pregnancy. At the time, he was fresh off of his rehab stay after relapsing during the pandemic. Before that, he had been sober for 15 years. She said the two seemingly grew closer throughout her pregnancy as the exciting arrival of the little one was the only thing that made him seem light and happy. She said, I remember he was really excited to tell his parents. I was watching someone newly sober at the edge of a cliff and I didn't know him well enough to help him. In her head, in my head, I'm thinking, I don't really know what's happening with this guy. It feels pretty shaky. But then I would see him at the Troubadour and be like, man, he's on fire. He's just that phenomenal. By the time she was six months pregnant, she decided to get involved in his recovery and stage a mini intervention. They agreed at the time that she would give him random drug tests, which is still something she does to this day. Two months later, they decided to raise their son as a couple.

[Claudia]

So cute.

[Jackie]

So cute. And then he announced that they were expecting their first child after their relationship was exposed that spring. So it's just like so Crazy that all of this came out and, like, they really barely knew what they were even doing.

[Claudia]

Well, I think that, like, this actually it does make sense. I didn't envision it that way. I thought that they decided to have a child together.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

And then for all the girlies who can't move past Anna Marie Tendler, they're like, well, he never had a kid with his wife of 10 years. And so actually this is Conger's with the person we knew him to be. Like, kids was not in the plan.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

And of course it happened. And it's like, you know, a happy accident. And it's beautiful, but it actually, I think makes shamalaney look very good. It's not like he just didn't want to have kids with Anna Marie or.

[Jackie]

That he lied to her.

[Claudia]

Right. It really was not in the cards for him. But obviously accidents happen, and this was a good one. But. But I actually think this is really a good Luke for Mr. Mulaney.

[Jackie]

And it's a good lesson in trust your faves.

[Claudia]

Well, that too. But it's also a rom com in it. Like, I'm just picturing it. And it must have been very scary for him to, like, you know, be newly sober and then also find out that you got someone pregnant. Like.

[Jackie]

Yeah. And to be fresh out of a long term relationship. Like, I imagine this time was actually very dramatic for him. Like, that's a lot to be going through all at once while also trying to stay sober and in a new relationship. Leaving an old relationship, baby on the way.

[Claudia]

That's a lot. It is. The more I learn about these two, even the way she's describing, like, how, like, it really sounds like a book, like.

[Jackie]

And I also feel like people had painted this picture of her where it's like, yes, she knew what she. She had eyes. Yeah. Like, went right for him. And it's like, no. Even when she got pregnant, she didn't expect that they would be together.

[Claudia]

She definitely got like, classic woman, you know, like the Jezebel label.

[Jackie]

Like, the womanly wiles.

[Claudia]

Right. Like, she actively pursued and. And got herself pregnant. Like, they definitely, I think, like, the haters definitely pain. And they really. For years they've said nothing. And this is just like a random anecdote, but it's really like a window into how they got together. I mean, even if how they got together wasn't as cute as it sounds, like, I ship these two so hard. Like, I think they have such a beautiful life together and I think they're perfect for One another.

[Jackie]

Yeah. Not everything happens the way that you plan it.

[Claudia]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

Actually, what's that quote?

[Claudia]

Something I was just reading man plans and God laughs.

[Jackie]

Yeah, that too. But it was also, like, life happens in the.

[Claudia]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the one. While you're making plans or something.

[Jackie]

Yeah. No, but it's like, life is what happens during. It's probably highlighted in my Kindle somewhere during the things that you didn't expect. Like, it's obviously more succinct than that, but, like, I don't know.

[Claudia]

It's so true. And, like, look how they ended up. Like a love, another baby. They have a family of four. It's so sweet.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

They are married, correct?

[Jackie]

Yes.

[Claudia]

It's so sweet. Like, I. I truly love these two.

[Jackie]

Me.

[Claudia]

And I like them both so much individually, and they sort of came to me on their own. Like, I never. I feel like before, while he was married to Anna Marie, like, everybody was obsessed with jama. Lady is the best comedian. Claudia.

[Jackie]

Claudia. Remember when we were just doing a list of people that we don't care about separately, but together we love. Yeah, we're talking about them.

[Claudia]

No, because I'm saying, actually now I care about them both so deeply, independently of one another. At one point, though, I didn't. I feel like the world tried to get me to care about John Mulaney, and I was like, get away from me. Then the world turned on him, and I said, oh, you're interesting. Come here. Yeah, but that's always what happens. Like, I only really start to like people when they have a fall from grace. Because when you're university universally beloved, I'm like, okay, whatever. I don't need to invest in you. Oh, people hate you. You're interesting. What'd you do? Come here.

[Jackie]

Yeah, but also, it's like, how you deal with it that builds your character and tough and shows people who you are.

[Claudia]

Really? Yeah, yeah.

[Jackie]

And shows yourself who you are.

[Claudia]

Yeah. Same with Olivia Munn. I mean, she was, like, we said, like, painted out to be this, like, absolute harlot. Whore of Babylon, if you will. And. No, I did my own independent research. She's a queen, and now everybody loves her because of her skims campaign and her breast cancer journey. But it's like, I liked her before.

[Jackie]

Where were you?

[Claudia]

Yeah, I liked her before.

[Jackie]

Where were you?

[Claudia]

Where were you?

[Jackie]

Are you ready for our next story? That's interesting to me. It's a little Outer Banks drama.

[Claudia]

Oh, my God. Okay, I'm familiar. And the annoying thing about this is that I'm in the middle of the most recent season. I think I have a couple of episodes left and the drama has spoiled it for me. So I just found out what happened.

[Jackie]

Okay, the. I am all caught up. Except I didn't watch this most recent season yet. But I think I could do it without spoiling. Except maybe you'll realize that two people get together, but that's not a major spoiler to like the actual show.

[Claudia]

No, no, no. Someone's leaving the show.

[Jackie]

Yes. I won't talk about that.

[Claudia]

Okay.

[Jackie]

I won't talk about that. But Outer Banks, the new season just dropped and two of the stars are feuding so badly that apparently they couldn't even film a hugging scene together. Now when I read this, I thought it was going to be and Madeline Klein. Because they dated so public, they have.

[Claudia]

Maintained like that they have a friendship. Kelsey Ballerini follows Madeleine. They're always leaving comments on each other. So I was like, oh my God, is that fake? But no, it's not about those two. And if you have been following the lore of if you're like obsessed with outer Banks, then you know all this. But most people are not like die hard Outer Banks stands like I watch.

[Jackie]

Every season, but I don't follow them on social media.

[Claudia]

So it's about JJ and Kiara who actually in the show date and I think many years ago at the beginning of the show had like a brief something. He is now engaged to somebody else.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

And she is in a relationship as well.

[Jackie]

So rumors, I believe, with a woman.

[Claudia]

Yes.

[Jackie]

Oh, interesting. Rumors are continuing to swirl that they've had a falling out. A source exclusively tells people that they are not feuding despite ongoing speculation. Okay, sure. A couple things happen. One, eagle eyed fans noticed that in one scene in the new season, the two of them are just like sitting next to each other cuddling at a bonfire.

[Claudia]

Yep.

[Jackie]

And the way that the scene cuts, like you don't see the two, both of their faces at the same time. Making it seem like there was a body double for each of them. No, because they couldn't beat holding each.

[Claudia]

Other because the man is taller. There's a scene where it's like just him and she's like hugging him down below. So you see the top of her head and it's literally not her.

[Jackie]

Yeah, no, it's not her. And what's. I, I saw the headlines before I saw the actual clip and I was like, oh, they didn't want to film a sex scene together. Like, okay, yeah. Understand a lot of reasons for that, especially if their exes. But no, they couldn't even just wrap their arms around each other.

[Claudia]

And so this has been like, a fan theory for years, being like, they hate each other. They hate each other.

[Jackie]

They hate each other because also, there was a dinner, a cast dinner in June 2023, which was attended by guy who plays JJ and his girlfriend, and then Kiara and her partner Mariah. Yes. A woman. And in the wake of the dinner, they both reportedly unfollowed Rudy's girlfriend.

[Claudia]

Yes. So the rumors are that, like. And by the way, Rudy is now engaged to this girl. So the rumors are that, like, Rudy's fiance is, like, really jealous that he's. Rudy is Rudy. Yeah. But, like, she is really uncomfortable with the fact that he still actively works with and has romantic scenes with his ex. And she's very threatened. And they're really putting the whole thing on Rudy's fiance. And she forced.

[Jackie]

What you're gonna say next. Just don't say.

[Claudia]

Okay. Okay. So, like, she's the reason for all of this, which I feel like is such a convenient theory. We have no. We have no proof. And up until this point, we've really had no proof besides, like, Instagram stuff. But now the stunt double, like, being exposed. It's definitely giving a lot of credence to these rumors that have existed for many years.

[Jackie]

That's really crazy to me if that's what it is. Like, that's really immature, especially because of Madeline and Chase. And I also feel like just to the storyline, like, they could also break up JJ and Kiara. Like, they're not germane to the storyline, them being together. Not like Sarah and John Jay.

[Claudia]

John B. Yeah. And to be honest, I actually would be for that and it would make sense in the storyline because I felt this way last season and this season even more so. I cannot watch the show because of jj. Like, he is the most reckless, out of control, worst friend, worst character, worst treasure hunter. Like, the fact that he's alive and.

[Jackie]

Then this treasure hunter.

[Claudia]

And then this season, like, something happens that really pisses him off. Off. And it's wrong. You know, he gets wronged by the rich people. And what does he do? He burns down downtown. He r. He starts a riot. He starts looting. He's literally. He sets fire. And it's all local businesses, by the way, so it's like, you're not hurting any of the rich people. He beats up policemen. He destroys police cars. I'm like, wait, he really. He became like an anarchist. And that's what I was like, seriously? Ben, I can't watch a show. I can't root for these kids anymore. Like, they're anarchists. Like, at first it was like, yeah, the man. And like the rich people. And I was like, yeah, yeah, Treasure. Yeah. Now they're like defacing public property, beating up policemen, like, burning down local businesses. I can't, I can't.

[Jackie]

This show is so crazy and it gets to a crazy point of ridiculousness, but there is something about it that, like, warm heart. It's got hard. Like, it sticks with me. And every time there's a new season, I do wind up watching it. And it was one of my like Sir Claus shows last year that got me through like, really painful week. So for that, like always, like riding with obx, you'll have a hard time.

[Claudia]

Like, your moral compass will come into question. This season, me and Ben were looking at each other. We're like, what the fuck? Like, if they took it too far, Jackie, like, everybody's rioting. There's like, oh, there's. There's like a. There's like a police hunt for jj. I'm like, okay, we have seriously Outer Banks. Too close to the sun. Like, oh my God. It's really crazy.

[Jackie]

Okay. I'm older.

[Claudia]

Yeah. Like taking a baseball bat to the windows of the pharmacy, the store. Like local owned businesses. Like, I don't know what he was trying to do. Like, literally taking a bat to the electrical poles. Like, he literally shut off all the power downtown. It was really crazy. And I can't explain. Like, he. They go to this town hall because, like, the rich people are stealing from them and whatever they lose, and it's wrong. The rich people are being wrong. But he starts beating people up. So he gets thrown in a cop car. Well, John B. Takes a bat to the cop car window. JJ Runs, takes the bat and burns down downtown. Like, it's. These kids are actually now the villains understood.

[Jackie]

But now knowing, like that spoiler that we won't say, are you gonna keep watching?

[Claudia]

Like, Ben was really into it. And like, I don't know. I really, I couldn't. Like, not. So they released it in two parts. The first part, like the first four or five, maybe six episodes, I actually really liked.

[Jackie]

Okay.

[Claudia]

The second part, I was like, these people have lost the plot.

[Jackie]

Okay.

[Claudia]

I don't even know. I don't know what my future holds with this show.

[Jackie]

Okay. Well, I just thought this show crazy.

[Claudia]

That like went really viral. It's first season. I feel like every time that happens, nobody really watches like the second or the Third season. But no, it's this really strong fan base. And it's because, like, these four young kid or five, six, actually, they're beautiful. And they're always, like, taking really good photos on Instagram. And, like, people are obsessed. They travel to. To Outer Banks and watch them film. Like, it's. It kind of. It's like that Gossip Girl sort of fandom.

[Jackie]

Also, like Riverdale. And I think they said next season of OBX is going to be the last season. So it'd be like, total five or six seasons, which is similar to Riverdale.

[Claudia]

Yeah.

[Jackie]

And then everyone, like, wants to go do other things, right?

[Claudia]

Well, I think that, like, then people on TikTok are comparing it to Raja Jean Paul.

[Jackie]

Okay, but why? He only did one season.

[Claudia]

Right. But like, leaving a show that, like, made you famous for, like, other opportunities. And people are, like, worried that the person who ends up leaving. I won't say who it is, like, might have that sort of Rajan effect.

[Jackie]

I could see that.

[Claudia]

Because what in the world happened to Ray Jean?

[Jackie]

But he couldn't even. Season two like, that.

[Claudia]

I know.

[Jackie]

This is season four.

[Claudia]

Yes. Out of five.

[Jackie]

It's different. It's more so of a Marissa Cooper.

[Claudia]

I'm still waiting for that Reggie John big project to drop. Like, what did he.

[Jackie]

Secret project.

[Claudia]

Yeah. He couldn't film Bridgerton because he had this big opportunity. What was it?

[Jackie]

I don't know.

[Claudia]

That will go down in history. It's like, one of the worst choices ever made.

[Jackie]

Yeah. I hope he has, like, new management now.

[Claudia]

I don't even know what help. Oh, you hear Chapel Roan split with her management.

[Jackie]

I did. Because of Chapel Rome. Because she was mad that someone wrote about it. Therefore people were writing that she was mad.

[Claudia]

And I posted about it on their Instagram. Like, new article on our website. Read about Chapel Row. And she commented, you guys suck for this. Like, girl, calm down. It's literally their job.

[Jackie]

Like, yeah, chap. Gonna chop. I don't know what else to tell you guys, but she keeps.

[Claudia]

She keeps out chapping herself.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

But because now she's getting to things that are, like, truly indefensible. Like with the paparazzi. Like, nobody's ever gonna take the paparazzi side. So we're like, yeah, chap. Go, chap. But it's like, independent journalists. Like, leave them alone.

[Jackie]

Well, they're not really independent journalists. But it's like, you can't, like, be mad about everything. This is.

[Claudia]

It's the system. Yeah.

[Jackie]

It's the industry. So you're in the wrong industry. And I'm not saying the industry is right for the way that it operates.

[Claudia]

Right. They think she's going to change it from the inside. Out with her for business and upon them. You know, chap, go off queen if you can. Can.

[Jackie]

Are you ready for our next story?

[Claudia]

What number?

[Jackie]

Number four. But we have Dear Toaster.

[Claudia]

Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready.

[Jackie]

Some crazy news, which is that Travis Kelsey's Kansas City mansion was burglarized of $20,000 in cash during the Saints game, while Patrick Mahomes, his house was hit 48 hours prior.

[Claudia]

And to be clear, this just reminded me, the sexiest man alive this year is Travis Kelsey.

[Jackie]

Yeah. But the thing is, he would have never sat for that interview. Of course he would. It should have been Jason Kelsey.

[Claudia]

Love that, too. But, like, if we're talking about, like, accurate lists.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

Sexiest man Alive of 2024. It's Travis Kelsey.

[Jackie]

I agree with you, but there's so.

[Claudia]

Many politics in the list, and I get that.

[Jackie]

Yeah. Burglars reportedly targeted Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes his mansions in Kansas City last month ahead of their matchup against the New Orleans Saints. According to a police record obtained by Page Six on Tuesday, the burglary at Mahomes's estate was reported by a bodyguard just after midnight on October 6th. It's unknown what, if anything, was stolen from his home. He was notably out celebrating Travis's birthday the day in the hours leading up to the burglary.

[Claudia]

So, I mean, that's literally the house he lives in with his kids. Like, that's so scary.

[Jackie]

Yeah. It's unclear if anyone was home during the break in. And then less than 48 hours later, Travis's mansion was also broken into around 7:30pm Shortly after kickoff against the Saints. You know what's crazy is that they live in different states.

[Claudia]

Wait, what? One of them lives in Missouri.

[Jackie]

Missouri. And Travis lives in Kansas.

[Claudia]

And they probably live five minutes from each other. Like, that's so crazy. Now, this is like, probably one of the worst parts of being a public figure is, like, especially like, an athlete. Like, your schedule is literally out there for the world to see. Everybody knows when you're at training camp, and so it really makes you a target for things like this. And I think that there's really only one celebrity who's got security down pat, and it's Ms. Taylorina Swift, and she needs to hook up Trav with her guy.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

Patrick, you don't think that she had. I don't know. Well, he did just move into that new house. And she's like, if she's going to spend time anywhere, it needs to be, like, completely clear. So.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

I don't know. This is just like the worst feeling. I know. Nobody feels bad for celebrities because they've, like, all the money in the world and like, you're $20,000. It's not about what they stole. And maybe they stole something, you know, sentimen mental. And that's irreplaceable. But like such. I've never, God willing. God willing, bite my tongue a million times. I've never been burglarized, but I know people who have. And it is the most violating, vile, like, horrible. It's not about the things that they took ever. It's about the fact that even if you were home, if you weren't home, somebody was in your house. Like, that's a sense of peace you can never get back.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

And I know people who have moved because of it, so I don't think the $20,000 is going to cripple him financially, but the sense of peace and then also, like, Taylor's not going to feel comfortable.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

At a. Like, that, it just. It really offsets your entire sense of peace.

[Jackie]

Yeah. I hope they catch the people who did it. I feel like there's never enough, like, energy.

[Claudia]

Yeah. For, like, I know the boys who did it.

[Jackie]

Right. Like, I feel like, especially when we report with like, a lot of the celebrity homes in la, like there's. And we're always reporting those sorts of stories and it's never like, caught the thieves.

[Claudia]

I know. I think that's why, like, the Alexis Nyers trial was as big of a deal as it was. It was like the first time because it was this, like, organized ring. It was the same couple of people doing everyone's houses that it was such a big deal and it got such attention, not only because of their reality show, but, like, they made a movie of it, like, because who the fuck. Like, who's doing this right. Right now? I think it's. There's a difference when somebody steals from you. Like, Alexis Niers wasn't a. A dangerous person, you know, but the. The group of men who burglarized Dorit's house with guns. Like, yeah, that's different.

[Jackie]

And they never caught those guys.

[Claudia]

No. Like, it's actually so crazy.

[Jackie]

Yeah. Yeah. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

[Claudia]

No. Is it our fifth and final story that's brought to you by State Farm?

Peloton has the convenient and varied instruction that you might need to get your tushy off the couch. Now, what do we know about Peloton? Everyone's obsessed with the bikes and the instructors and love. They have one in my gym and I have a subscription and it's probably one of the best things I've ever done. For myself. But even if you don't have the bike, a lot of people don't know that they have tons of classes that you can use at a regular gym, whether that's on a treadmill, floor exercises, you have no equipment. So they have a variety of training programs like pilates, boxing, marathon prep, strength training, boot camps, yoga, meditation. There's so many different ways to challenge yourself. And when I was getting into running, I really wanted to do peloton workouts, but I thought I needed like the peloton tread, like the actual treadmill, but you don't. Like, I was just using the one at my gym or out on an actual outdoor run. And their guided walk slash runs really helped me get into running. Like, I didn't know how to run. I didn't know, like, that people. I thought everybody was just like able to run for 30 minutes at a time. No, you have to, like, really train yourself. And so the walks slash runs slash hikes on peloton really saved me. And they also just have amazing music, which is like, really half the battle with getting through a workout is having good music. So challenge yourself. Or don't they have classes that challenge you to try new things and push yourself, like marathon training, but they also have a variety of classes to help you relax, like walks and meditation.

Let's talk about real food for a minute. We all know that we should be that. We all know that we should be eating more real, nutritious food. But really, who has the time to make everything from scratch, including, like your sauces and your salad dressings? Well, definitely not me. And some of us don't even have the time to read or really actually the energy to read every single label at the grocery store just to avoid sketchy ingredients in our food. And if we are, it's going to be the big things, you know, not the salad dressings, not the condiments. And that's why we love Primal Kitchen and their condiments. It's a secret weapon for making real food taste amazing. So their original buffalo sauce is probably one of their best selling products. It's got that goldilocks level of heat. Not too hot, but still super flavorful for wings dips, roasted veggies, even just a drizzle on your scrambled eggs. It's Absolutely delicious. And it pairs perfectly with Primal Kitchen's no ranch, no dairy ranch dressing, which you can also use as a marinade. You can also use it, like in recipes like, for like a chicken skillet recipe. Even their ketchup, like their unsweetened ketchup. I'm like, I'm obsessed with ketchup. I actually saw Matthew McConaughey on podcast talking about how he's obsessed with ketchup. And I was like, that's literally me. I'm like a ketchup first person. And, you know, I like the OGs. And I really was not open to trying Primal Kitchens, especially because it's unsweetened. And I was like, you know what? I'm good. Like, I'm really good. But let me tell you, you guys, it tastes the same. It tastes so good, and it's so much better for you. It's made with real California grown tomatoes, no corn syrup, cane sugar, or artificial sweeteners. So if you're all about real food, but you need a little help making it exciting, you need Primal Kitchen condiments and sauces.

[Claudia]

So when I'm talking about myself, like, I'm obviously also talking about kids. You guys know, we have. We're on the same level.

[Jackie]

Our fifth and final story is a story that I hate.

[Claudia]

Oh my God. It's a story that she hates.

[Jackie]

Lena Dunham will be writing a Sand Bacon Freed movie for Apple and a 24 based on the Michael Lewis book Going Infinite. So Apple in a 24 in early development on a film adaptation of Michael Lewis book Owning Infinite the Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon with Lena Dunham attached to write the script. So this is about Sam Bankman Fried, the founder of ftx, the cryptocurrency, the youngest billionaire, et cetera, et cetera.

[Claudia]

Yeah, I've done like an amazing thing for myself and it's that I really have carved out like a media blitz on Lena Dunham. Like, I am never like seeing updates on Lena Dunham. I really, I do.

[Jackie]

Are a lot of updates. Like.

[Claudia]

No, I know that there are like, like peripherally, like she does work and she was, you know, at Fashion Week. Like, I have completely carved out a world where she doesn't exist. And like that is on protecting your peace. Like.

[Jackie]

Yeah, no, this is doubly bad. Like Sam Brakeman freed. Yucky.

[Claudia]

Like, we don't need to like, let's stop making movies about criminals. Like, it just incentivizes people to do crime.

[Jackie]

Yeah. This was like a really crazy story.

[Claudia]

And I also feel like it was hard to understand. So.

[Jackie]

Nature. Yeah. But it's going to be insufferable.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And it's. What's so amazing is living in a free country. Like, I will not be watching this movie and you can't make me. Yeah, no, like you, you literally can't make me support. I won't.

[Jackie]

Who should play Sam Bankman? Fried. And why should be Ethan Slater.

[Claudia]

Oh, that's an amazing call. I was gonna say Jesse Eisenberg, but maybe I'm just like thinking small. Like Facebook. Like, you know.

[Jackie]

Yeah, like to like. He already did his tech movie.

[Claudia]

Honestly though, it's like, who's like a nerdy curly headed fuck? Like, and of course like hair and makeup. It'd be nice if we could just like visualize. Let me think, let me think. Hold on.

[Jackie]

I'm sure people will say like Jonah Hill, but no, he doesn't have that energy, that vibe anymore.

[Claudia]

And Sam Bankman was so young, like curly haired male actors. We could wear a wig, but Adrian Grenier.

[Jackie]

Okay, it's like if I were an actor, even though there's probably a breakout role, like, I wouldn't even want the, like that people would think I look like that.

[Claudia]

Okay. He's obviously like far too old. But at the time, like, if he was the right age, kind of like a Will Frell.

[Jackie]

Totally.

[Claudia]

Do you know what I mean?

[Jackie]

Yeah. Honestly, I think Ethan Slater in a wig.

[Claudia]

Timothy Chalamet. I'm sorry. Obviously that's the answer.

[Jackie]

Don't do that to Timothy.

[Claudia]

But that's the answer. I feel that is the answer.

[Jackie]

Okay, well, those are your facts.

[Claudia]

I have no other thoughts.

[Jackie]

Me neither. Me neither.

[Claudia]

Bye. The day is far from over because it's Dear Toasters Day. Every Wednesday, Jackie and I do our advice segment. It's called Dear Toasters. And we are reading real submissions from real listeners. And you can be one of those listeners. If you want to send us a submission, you can do it one of two ways. You can email us, of course. Simple. DearToastersmail.com, we'll keep your name totally anonymous. Or you can over to our website, thetoastpodcast.com scroll down. There's a submission box there. You can write whatever your heart desires. If you've written in and you haven't gotten on air, either your submission is uninteresting or it was far too long. So try and keep it concise, like need to know information. Okay? All right, first up. Hey, Jackson Turd. I got engaged to my p John back in March, and I couldn't be more excited. We started to look at venues in our area, but we haven't found the perfect one yet. I did originally want to get married in spring 2025, but I'm fine with pivoting to the fall because of the. A lot of the good dates in spring are already taken. Summer's too hot for us. When I mentioned this to my fiance, he said it's not a good idea to get married in the fall because of football season. He had the nerve to say that. I can't get mad if people come to our wedding and are on their phones during the wedding, watching the game, or even refuse to come because of football. I plan on having an amazing band, so hopefully everyone's, like, on the dance floor enjoying. He's crazy for suggesting this, right? I really don't want to wait till spring of 2026. Please help.

[Jackie]

Do not wait till spring of 2026. The good news is that if this is true, then it's a universal issue. I think it's. I mean, there's a chance that during the reception, people would be on their phones watching football. Those aren't the people who are going to be like, lighten up the party anyway. It's not worth not getting married. I think, like, people worry about a lot of stuff when they're planning the date for their wedding. But, like, your biggest thing should be, like, when do you want to. Like, you want to be married? You want to start your life to postpone it for football season. I would still work out. If you want to get married in the spring, like, you could find a venue. It's November. It's not too late. People cancel.

[Claudia]

Yeah, I don't believe in, like, a. There are certain things you should avoid. Yes, I went to a wedding on The super bowl once. And I can tell you, like, everybody was. And it was like, in another country. Everybody was looking for the WI Fi and everybody was checking their phones. Like, even if you didn't really even care about football, like, right. I would avoid football Sunday for sure.

[Jackie]

Super Bowl Sunday. Excuse me.

[Claudia]

Yeah, Super Bowl Sunday. But football season in general. Like, people miss football games all the time. It's not a big deal.

[Jackie]

Your husband, too long of a season to just be. Not a ripe time for wedding things.

[Claudia]

Your husband's far too dramatic. And I do want to say it does sound like. And maybe I'm just, like, being crazy. It sounds like your husband has a gambling problem. Like, just based on, like, his inability to not watch. I know that might be. I know that might be like, a little bit of a jump. Like, 30. You're getting ahead of yourself. I just want to say, like, look into it.

[Jackie]

Okay?

[Claudia]

People who can't miss, like, any sporting event, it's usually because they have money on it.

[Jackie]

Get married whenever you want, not what works for other people. You need to start your life. You can't wait for football season. Don't give up on spring 2025 and do not push to spring 2026.

[Claudia]

Agreed? 1000%. Now, our second submission is somebody who went viral. So normally I would be jealous, but, like, if this happened to me, seriously, just take me out back and shoot me. Okay?

[Jackie]

Okay.

[Claudia]

Hey, Jackson, turn. I woke up to a not so party. Instagram DM sending me a tick tock of my husband. He was in New York City, sitting at a table at a bar with the caption that read, ladies, if you are married to this man. He just said, my Halloween costume is a man who hates his wife and then flashed his wedding ring right at us. And he's trying to flirt with all the girls. My husband makes dumb jokes with his friends all the time. He's also not on any social media. So I sent him this video and we talked it through. I know nothing happened and nothing's wrong with our marriage, but people I know in real life keep sending me this video, and I don't know how to respond to them or how to make it stop. Help, please. How do I reply to people who I don't even know? Well, talking about this now, there's two issues. I know you only see one issue. You say, the videos, we're fine, but how do I respond to people? And we'll get to that. But I would be absolutely remiss, devastated and heartbroken if I didn't at least Talk about the video. And I know you say you talked it through, and, like, I trust you, but, like, I do fear that you are, like, getting really used to behavior that's not normal. A joke. Like, this is abhorrent. Like, it is unacceptable. It's not a joke, actually. Like, there's truth in it. So I wouldn't be so quick to skirt past this issue and onto the next one. And I actually think your. Your issue here is the joke, not people texting you about it.

[Jackie]

Right. So let's. Yes, the issue is what he was said, but she is asking for advice so we can operate. Let's try and operate under the guise that he's, like, a perfect husband and he made.

[Claudia]

But I just. I would be remiss if I didn't encourage you to, like, of course. What would you tell your friend if somebody's their husband said this about this? Like, I fear that you're, like, kind of used to being spoken down to and, like, your husband might be one of those men who, like, makes jokes about their wife even when she's around. Like, and I hate that. That's, like, one of my biggest pet peeves. Right?

[Jackie]

That's, like, a bad joke to make. But then they're also saying he was flirting with the girls, and, yeah, nothing happened because they thought he was an asshole. Nothing happened.

[Claudia]

He said he was married.

[Jackie]

Nothing happened because they didn't want anything to do with it, not because he didn't try.

[Claudia]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, like, a really big deal.

[Jackie]

But the thing is, like, if it's. If for. If somehow it's, like, not a big deal, like, your husband has the world's worst sense of humor and judgment, but is otherwise, like, a really great partner somehow. And, like, you can understand how this moment happened. Who cares what other people think? It's your life. Like, that can't be. What if you know that it was. It was fine for. However that could be possible. Like, if you know that that was fine, then, like, you need to not care what other people think. If, like, you're clearly happy in your life and that's not a reflection of your relationship.

[Claudia]

People sending this to you who don't really know you, they're not coming from a good place. Like, it's obviously, if it's gone viral. If I. If I barely knew you, I would just assume that you saw it. I'm not gonna text it to you. Like, they are not coming from a good place, and they don't deserve a response. So if this. If anyone who's messaging you is not someone you would normally talk to. I wouldn't even respond because you're actually looking for tactical advice on how to respond to these people. Anyone you don't know well, do not respond to.

[Jackie]

Do not respond. And also, like, he fucked up and embarrassed himself. They should be reaching out to him. So you should just be like, I know, crazy, right? Send it to him. Like, he should be the one feeling awkward, everybody experiencing him. This video of his bad moment. Not you.

[Claudia]

No, I just. It sounds like you're like the feeling of your husband embarrassing you is like one that you're familiar with. And that makes me really sad because a husband's job is to protect you and not put you in a terrible spot. And the fact that he did it and got caught on such like a global scale is unfortunate. But I'm sure you've experienced this on smaller scales all the time. And I just want to let you know, like, that's not normal. That's not good husband behavior. And I feel like you're just used to it. And even the way you wrote us, it just like concerned me about how you like skipped.

[Jackie]

It's very concerning. Yeah.

[Claudia]

Yeah. So in terms of the responding to people, like, don't.

[Jackie]

But also I need to.

[Claudia]

There's other things going on here.

[Jackie]

Inbox. And his friends and family are sending this to him. So like you gotta reroute. You gotta bring him in. Add some. Add him to the group text. Hey, babe.

[Claudia]

Reroute the shame.

[Jackie]

Christie saw your video.

[Claudia]

Oh.

[Jackie]

Forward it. Forward your mail.

[Claudia]

Yeah. Everything. Yep. A thousand percent. Okay. Our third is a crossover between Deer Toasters and Abyssal. Unburden yourself. Okay.

[Jackie]

Okay.

[Claudia]

Hey, Swirlies. I was sharing my screen while presenting to my all male team, including my seven year old business.

[Jackie]

This is probably like the worst way a story could start for me. Like, this is my biggest. I don't know what's coming next, but I'm scared.

[Claudia]

Earlier in the day I was listening to the toast and for some reason the Spotify widget popped up on my screen while I was sharing it and showed the unfortunately timed episode title tits out for the boys. For the life of me, I could not get the title off my screen and my seven year old business partner proceeded to point out the pop up. 7 year old 7D.

[Jackie]

Okay.

[Claudia]

Proceeded to point out the pop up, asking me, what is that? What does that mean? I chalked it up to a pop up and tried my best to move on with the presentation. Do I bring it up again and explain myself? Do I Just move on. Should I ask someone else on the team what I should do? Help.

[Jackie]

Okay, wait. I just want to look at something on Spotify because you and I were talking about this and we uploaded the episode Tits out for the Boys, an Apple podcast. Start out the I.

[Claudia]

When we. When we wrote it, we wrote T S and Apple took the liberty of putting an asterisk on the eye. It must go against.

[Jackie]

However, Spotify did not.

[Claudia]

Okay. Because they respect free speech.

[Jackie]

But now I'm wishing that they did.

[Claudia]

Yeah, because. Because then it was a good call.

[Jackie]

The old man wouldn't have ever known. He could have got toots out for the boys, tops. But it's straight up tits.

[Claudia]

Well, I do think that the seven year old man didn't know what he was looking at. I don't know that he knew you were actively seeking out a podcast titled Tits up for the Boys. And honestly, I apologize.

[Jackie]

I do. And we should keep that in mind. We should keep that in mind when we are titling episodes going forward. Maybe he wasn't reading the title. Maybe he saw two beautiful women, the COVID art, the toast, and he was.

[Claudia]

Probably like, really taken by our beauty, that he didn't even read the text.

[Jackie]

Maybe he's like, doesn't have the best sight. And he keeps asking, what is this? Because he can't see.

[Claudia]

Let me say two things. I think you're in the clear. One, the man didn't know what he was looking at. Like, he has no idea how to process that sort of media. You're fine. Your other younger coworkers might have known that. Now, luckily for you, the Toast is an incredibly popular podcast and we are known. We're not like a pornographic podcast. So anybody who saw it was like, oh, she's listening to the pop culture podcast. And they had a funny title. Like, thankfully we're so famous that, like, people know about us, even though in a basic sense that even if they don't listen, they know the basics, they know we're, you know, funny girls.

[Jackie]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

So you're good.

[Jackie]

And if they go. And if they go and Google it, like, they'll see that it's just like a pop culture podcast.

[Claudia]

It's not like to our popularity, you're in the clear.

[Jackie]

I understand feeling really awkward about this and you're right to feel that way, but I do think you can on the burden. There's a lot of different ways of, like, plausible deniability. And if anybody actually saw it and wants to dig into it, it's totally harmless. And like, seriously blame Kim Kardashian.

[Claudia]

Yeah. Right. Maybe if she didn't have her tits out, they wouldn't be out for the episode. Right? You're fine.

[Jackie]

Yeah. You can on your burden and sorry. For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

[Claudia]

The part we played, I. I just.

[Jackie]

Want to say, like, of all the things that could have come up when you shared your screen, like, that's really not the worst thing.

[Claudia]

So true.

[Jackie]

Like your nude photos, of course, like, come to mind.

[Claudia]

Of course. No, no.

[Jackie]

Your husband sent you a dick pic. Comes.

[Claudia]

Well, yeah. A lot of people, like, take pictures of their poo. That's like a thing people do. Oh.

[Jackie]

Or like, of like a really bad pimple. Or like.

[Claudia]

Yeah, or like, like you have something on your vagina. Like you need to send the doctor. Like, hey, I've got this like, pimple. Is this normal? Let me know. Yeah.

[Jackie]

Like it could have been a pic that you would send your doctor.

[Claudia]

I mean, I have a thousand photos of my tonsils. Like, whenever I get sick, I'm always taking pictures. Like flash, high resolution. Like, and it looks it. It looks like a vagina. Like, you're fine.

[Jackie]

Yeah. Just think about all the other worst things that it could have been and then you will feel great.
