A
Good morning, girlies. It's the toast. It's Jackson Claude and we're your host. It's your favorite show, the Fast 5.
B
Things you need to know.
A
We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast.
B
They sound amazing.
A
Good morning, millennials, and welcome back to the toast. Happy Tuesday. That feels like a Friday. Because we have a song and we are celebrating.
B
We are fucking celebrating. Snitch.
A
Okay. That's right. First look, very first episode with our brand new theme song created by and for the toasters. Congratulations to the swirly songwriter named Becca, who delivered a fantastic, fabulous performance of an original song that we were honored to get into the studio to record.
B
Yes. We had so many wonderful submissions and it was really tight down to the wire at the end. But we love this song so much. It's a perfect little ditty. It gets stuck in your head. It's so pleasant to listen to and we are so excited to have it in every episode. Now we won't, like, listen to it live in every episode. We'll just, like, add it to the front. But for today, like, we just had to hear our guardgy pargy voices and.
A
Like, just to acknowledge, like, all the talented songwriters. Like, it was a really big question for many weeks. Like, Becca or Samantha? Becca or Samantha? Blonder. Brunette. Blonder, brunette. And then shout out to the two country toasters who did it together in Nashville, like, those were the top three. It was really hard. Ultimately, we chose Becca's because it sounds exactly like we were looking for, like, a little Disney Channel theme song. It's so party. It's swirly. It's to the point, it's not too long, and we officially have our theme song. And the fact that, like, we went on this whole social media journey, like, is so us, you know, like, we couldn't just do it the normal way.
B
But the fact that it actually worked out out is not so us.
A
Okay, so do you have something you want to say to me?
B
Great.
A
Of my song competition, you were doubtful.
B
I wasn't doubtful. I. I supported you completely.
A
Like, yeah, but you were just like, doubtful.
B
Like, what if people are definitely sense that people came out of their shells.
A
Shells, yeah.
B
And their comfort zones and participated and. No, it was so much fun. It was a great idea. The end result is so wonderful. Got in the studio. You can hear a little Jacks, a little Claude on the way. It's a little harmonizing, which is what we do all the time.
A
We do need to figure out both internally, but I would like to hear People's thoughts. Because we had mentioned perhaps getting rid of Good Morning, Millennials, and this would be, like, our official, like, intro into the show. People rioted. So I think right as it stands right now, unless we find a better idea, it'll be every day. Like, the ditty, the song Good Morning, Millennials.
B
Yeah. Everyone's gonna want you to keep Good Morning, Millennials. I have my own.
A
And I love that. I love that they have something. Like, we created something that they love. Like, I'm not gonna take that away from them.
B
I know. But I'm all about evolution. And the show has evolved. Like, now we have a song. We're not even together anymore. We don't talk at the same time. Like, why? Let's move to. On to the next.
A
Yeah, I know.
B
When you're constantly innovating, like, you don't need to hold on to, like, every single thing you can, like, say.
A
But, yes, I agree with you. However, certain things need to stay. Stay with us. Like, that's tradition, you know, that's how traditions get made.
B
I'm big on tradition. I'm big on history.
A
I know.
B
And I'm just saying it will always be, like, remember when we had Good Morning, Millennials? Because the thing is, the tradition is the Jackson Claude.
A
It's the timeless tradition of the Jackson Claude.
B
You're timeless to me.
A
You really are timeless to me.
B
I think Jackson Claude are timeless.
A
So that was fun. Like, seriously, that whole journey. Loved every minute of it.
B
In any place I would find you clawd.
A
Oh, my God. Same love that even though we established.
B
Like, growing up, we would not have been friends.
A
No, no. If we didn't have to be.
B
And nowadays we talked about this as, like, influencers. Like, what you think of me as an influencer if I wasn't your sister and, like, what I would think of you. And I still think, actually, like, we probably wouldn't think connect. No, we wouldn't, like, think, like, oh, my God. I like the way that, you know, when I. So Shannon's page, like, oh, my God, I have to meet this girl. Like, I have to get lunch with her. I don't know if we would think that about each other because we're so different.
A
No, no. We, like, 1,000% would not.
B
Right.
A
It's Tuesday, which really, like, genuinely means nothing, but it means Dear Toasters. So the community is getting fed today. We have a ton of really good submissions that I'm excited about. I was giggling choosing them this morning. And we have a party show. No.
B
Yeah, Always a party.
A
Show.
B
Especially now that we have a song in our hearts. And in the beginning, by the way.
A
I've been singing it, like, just so much, like, in my head, in my house, like, walking around. The fact that I haven't accidentally started, like, humming it on the toast and spilled the beans as to who the winner was is a miracle because I've just been like, jackson, Daddy.
B
Is your favorite show.
A
Let's get a live performance.
B
You need to know. Start your day off. Sweet swirly, it's the toast. And shout out to Becca for writing it in my key.
A
Yeah, and actually shout out to Becca for not writing it in my key. I actually, like, had to practice a lot. It's a little bit higher than I normally sing. Obviously, I was able to crush it in the studio. Our producer Curtis, said he never saw anyone get in so fast. Did the whole thing in, like, four minutes. He was impressed. Like, I didn't even mention it, but he brought it up. He kept saying, like, wow, Claudia's so impressive, but he's work. Yeah. It wasn't even in my key. Yeah, I've worked with this producer.
B
So why was he so impressed when he knows what you're capable of?
A
I guess it's been a while since my last single. Should we put this on itunes?
B
Or is that, like. Because I've been playing it on my phone, like, for my family, and it's, like, very short, so they're like, again. And it would be nice if I could, like, airplay it to the Sonos.
A
Right. I'll bring you a cd.
B
It stops.
A
Right?
B
Right.
A
It's. We're playing, like, a voice note, so.
B
I actually would like to put on Spotify so we can listen. Listen to it on repeat in the car.
A
I'll have to figure out how to do that.
B
I think it's pretty.
A
It's not.
B
It's not easy.
A
Unless we just upload it as an episode.
B
Unless we just upload it as an.
A
Episode, then it's easy. But if we have to upload it as, like, are we. I could put it on my Spotify page, which has my music and my comedy albums, but that wouldn't be right. So then we have to make a new artist page. Jackson Claude, like, it would be really hard.
B
I think that we should, because our future is in the music industry. Music, like, at some point there will be, like, toast tunes and we'll need that page anyway, so I think we might as well.
A
That's true.
B
Just have everything in one place.
A
What is our, like, artist's name? Like, what's our band name. Is it just like Claudia? Oh, okay.
B
Yeah.
A
Not like Claudia and Jacqueline Ashray.
B
No, no, no, no. I think when you search the Toast and the podcast would come up. Or our various albums.
A
God willing. God willing. Bl Hara.
B
Multiple playlists. We can make playlists for people. It's our favorite songs. Your time, Jackie.
A
Ho ho ho. Yeah. Like songs we reference. You might not know are songs, but they are. Yeah.
B
Like, what can I say?
A
Except you're welcome.
B
And also, what's that Demi Lovato song that we're weirdly always singing Happy for?
A
You know that I am. Yeah, we do sing that a lot.
B
Stuff like that. And you can get an education connection.
A
Education connection would obviously be on that too.
B
Yeah.
A
This. The albums sort of write themselves.
B
Summer, Summer. Summer, Summer, Summer.
A
We do reference a lot of like.
B
Should I start writing down the songs that need to be on the playlist?
A
Yeah.
B
And then like when we sing our.
A
Songs, like Toasty references.
B
That way when the playlist starts, like, it will be a breeze. Okay.
A
Okay. So it was. I don't know what the name of the Demi Lovato song is. Just write happy for you. Yeah.
B
Yeah. You're welcome.
A
Huh?
B
Happy for you, Summer.
A
Timeless. Timeless to me. Hairspray. Yeah, that's good. I like that.
B
Okay. And then I'll just keep a running list.
A
Yeah. Sound off in the comments. Like, what other songs do we like constantly say?
B
Now here's the thing. Do you think that we should put the original version of like Thuma. Thuma. Thuma, Thuma. Which is Woman.
A
Woman. I don't know this. They stopped sponsoring the show, so I'm inclined to say no.
B
I know. But I still have a Thuma bed, so they're always in my house and.
A
I. I sleep in it when I.
B
Yeah, but no, I think like that goes on the original album. That's different.
A
Come again?
B
Like when we. When we make our album of its.
A
Own song, it doesn't go on the playlist. I agree.
B
Yeah. Okay. Just.
A
I love this idea.
B
See what else comes up.
A
Can't wait to get our Spotify page up and running in six to eight months. Cuz that's when I'll remember to do it.
B
To write in the comments. Like songs we're obviously forgetting that we sing all the time that need to be.
A
Yeah. Well, just also be mindful of it today.
B
Yeah, of course. That's why I'm not the notepad. I'm not turning the page on this.
A
I wouldn't dream of you turning the page.
B
I Will never turn the page on this. Let me just. Let me title it Toast Playlist. In case one day I stumble. It's like, what the.
A
Yeah. In 50 years, when we bury it in a time capsule. We should go into your backyard and bury a time capsule. We'll put, like, a spritz. We'll put a couple of things. Yeah, but you probably won't be living in your house in 50 years.
B
That's how long we have to wait.
A
For it to, like, be impactful 101.
B
I feel like it was, like, 15 years.
A
Yeah, but they did it when they were, like, when they were really youthful, you know? Like, we're already grown.
B
No, but we're still making memories. 50 years when you. Insane.
A
That's funny that you think of time capsule 80 Parchi. It's funny that you think of Zoe 101. When you think of Time Capsule. I think of Crossroads with Britney Spears and Zoe Saldana.
B
Oh, of course. Because you're always thinking of Crossroads.
A
I am always like, that movie is. I don't like. And obviously we watched it the same amount growing up. We happen to have had it on vcr. We used to literally play, rewind, Play, rewind. Like, it was the only movie we watched. But I don't feel like it had as big of an impact on everybody else in the family as it did me.
B
Yeah, no, it definitely resonated with you more than other people. Like, we all loved it, but, like, it became part of your identity.
A
And in terms of, like, the sister's identity, Margot was the one who was really obsessed with Britney Spears. So, like, you would have thought that the movie would have impacted her most of all. But, no, not me. And maybe that's because I really resonated with, like, the music in that film. Yeah. And just, like, having a song in your heart.
B
Yeah. And wanting to be a singer songwriter, not knowing where to start.
A
And Kim Cattrall is your mother, and she wants nothing to do with you. That's the craziest part of the movie.
B
Yeah.
A
And she, like, lives in a mansion in Arizona, and she's like, scram, Britney, scram.
B
Yeah. That is crazy. It's a good flick.
A
And, of course, Taryn Manning.
B
Of course. And the third.
A
So we sell Donna. Yeah, I said that.
B
Oh, you did?
A
She's like, the obvious one. Like, we know that's how she got her start, but, like, not enough people know Taryn Manning.
B
For me, as someone who never watched Iron Is the New Black, Like, Taryn Manning is only from Crossroads.
A
Oh. Oh. I Guess. But no, she went on to have an illustrious career.
B
Yeah, but, like, that's my first touch. Point.
A
Thousand percent. What else? Like, what's going on? I'm going to see Shannon's show tonight.
B
Oh, fun. I'm gonna see her show when she's down here, so I'm really excited. Don't spoil it.
A
No, I won't. But, like, yeah, I have plans. I'm going out to dinner too. Like, okay.
B
Hey, look at me.
A
Hey, look at me.
B
That's really fun. I tried to watch Where Love is Blind last night, and I'm in Honduras.
A
Oh, thank God. Emphasis on the word tried.
B
Tried and sort of succeeded, but I made it to Anders. I fast forwarded through a lot, so I missed some stuff. And I just want to say you were completely right about Madison. Bad egg.
A
Yeah.
B
And the fact that Ben Platt could read.
A
Can see that.
B
And, like, the way that he broke up with her and when and why he was 100% right. Because they're even. When she came back into the girls room, she was like, I'm going home. Like, this isn't going to work for me. And it's like, girl, no, you just got dumped.
A
Revisionist history. Yeah.
B
She's a liar. You.
A
Yeah.
B
Nothing but a liar. And then it seems like in the future when they all meet up. She has purple hair.
A
Yeah. She has pink hair.
B
I might have waited, just.
A
Yeah, it's kind of a crazy thing to do.
B
I may have waited to have my hair purple, like, until after I met the person.
A
Right.
B
Because then, like, I don't know, I.
A
Just feel like that's not who you were when you met them in the pods.
B
Yeah. And how do you. Like, maybe he doesn't like purple hair. And then he'll. He won't.
A
I mean, it's crazy.
B
Like, I'd want to show up and make that person rue the day.
A
Maybe, like, she thinks her best look is the pink hair.
B
And maybe it. Maybe he will rue the day with pink hair. But now it's like, maybe he won't.
A
Right. It's a risk.
B
It is a risk. I feel like most. Like, blonde hair is very commonplace. Can't really go wrong.
A
I just got the worst vibes from her. Like, I really found her to be insufferable before she even turned, like, malicious. Like, just her storytelling and her use of, like, therapy language. I just found her to be, like, so dreadful. But she defend me, you know? And then she started, like, acting weird and wrong, and I'm like, oh, you're like, the worst no.
B
And like, his biggest concern about her was, like, the fact that she said that she's an avoidant personality during confrontation. And then they had a confrontation and she shut down. And after having said, I'm not like that anymore. And he literally got to see that that's exactly how she deals with.
A
And she was just like, you have to trust me. You have to trust me. Right.
B
But then she had her opportunity. She shut down. He was like, oh, no. She very much avoids. And credit to Ben Platt. He really tried to change the conversation. He starts saying, what does Christmas look like in 20 years? He tries to move on. And she stayed there. Dust collecting on her.
A
Yep. On her jeans, on her pink hair. Two things I also wanted to say about Love is Blind. I was thinking about this last night. We have seen Nick of an Lachey twice where I'm up to episode nine and I feel like you and I went on like such a diatribe about them when we watched Love is Blind UK because the hosts were barely in it. And it was just like a much more enjoyable experience. And I know that there's been, like a lot of feedback from the Netflix audience about Nick and Vanessa as hosts in general, but also like the show not needing so much host content. And I want to say it's actually been really pleasurable. Like the. The little droplets we're getting of Nick of an Essa.
B
I just saw them as we transitioned to Honduras.
A
Exactly. And that was the second time. The first time since the beginning.
B
Yeah.
A
And then the other thing was I don't see enough people talking about, like, the budget for the vacation. Usually they save these huge hotel properties. Every date is, like, very lavish. I mean, one of their dates was like, walking through town. That's not a date. You know, it's really. The hotel is so small. I'm surprised they're not running into each other. They usually say these, like, enormous, all inclusive resorts where, like, there's not another human being. It's like a really small Kimpton hotel. The sheets are purple. It's just weird.
B
Oh, yeah. The beds look like someone's apartment.
A
They have a lot of brought their own bedding. It looks like they brought their own bedding from a toilet character.
B
And like, in not the way that you want your hotel to look.
A
Yeah. And they don't.
B
They look like I literally want, like a hotel bed.
A
Yeah.
B
And I want it to look like I'm the hotel bed.
A
I'm the first person to sleep in that bed. I know that I'm not, but, like, the Sheets are, like, crisp. This is like a duvet purple.
B
Someone's dorm room.
A
College room. Yeah, exactly.
B
No, I totally got the same feeling. But Kimpton is nice, right?
A
I think there are varying degrees of Kimpton's. It's kind of like. I'm sure, like, I don't think it's a luxury hotel. No, I don't.
B
Okay. Okay.
A
I'll have to ask Brian, but like I said at a Kimpton once in Washington D.C. and the, like, the floor in my entire room was wet. And that's the only time I've ever stayed at a Kimpton. And it has colored my, like, opinion of the chain. It was like. It was a carpeted room and the carpet was wet everywhere I walked. It was disgusting.
B
Yeah, she's been to dc. Hope you didn't miss that. Yeah, the nation's capital. She's been.
A
I wonder what I was. I was there for a show, I think. I think it was probably my sold. My sold out show at the Warner Theater.
B
Oh, she played the Warner.
A
Yeah, Warner.
B
She played the Wirener.
A
Wire. It was a party show at the Wirener.
B
It always is.
A
So, like, I. I could dive in. I'm just letting you know. But I also could not.
B
I guess I could see what. See where life takes us, what we can add to the playlist.
A
Before we do. Let me just say Jackie and I posted a new episode on our Patreon yesterday, one of our favorite series, Naggy Wife. And it's just when girls write in, they're like, please, am I being an aggie bitch wife? Or like, am I justified in thinking my husband's insane? And it usually comes down to household chores. Lots of, like, things about taking out the garbage. And I was sharing a story and Jackie, like, you didn't support me. And I'm so glad that I shared it because you just didn't get it. You know, about the paper towels. About the paper towels.
B
Do you get a lot of outreach?
A
Oh, my God. People were like, Ben is so crazy for that. So let me just say this on the main show because it's worth repeating. I've noticed something like, crazy that my husband does. I've always known he has, like, a really bad habit of overusing paper towels. It's so wasteful. It's money down the drain.
B
So are they saying he's crazy for the overuse or for what comes next?
A
For what comes next.
B
Okay.
A
And one of the ways he, like, overuses is we have a couple of dishes that we always hand wash. Like our knives, our pots. And pans, unless there's been, like, something really gross in there. So I. I wash because I don't trust Ben to get all the food off. And he dries. And when he dries, like, a big pan, he'll take, like, a huge stack of paper towels to dry it. Like, it's insane. That's clearly where you use the dish rag, right? And then, like, the final step in the kitchen cleaning is always wiping down the counters. Meyer lemon spray all over the counter. And then to wipe up the surface cleaner, he'll use the dish rag. Like, it. It bothers me so much. And I was saying it to Jackie, and she was like, I don't get it. It's, like, not that crazy.
B
Not ideal.
A
I got some real sense of community in the comments. People were like, no, he's so crazy for that.
B
That's good to find your community.
A
Correct.
B
So if you want to hear what other people and some people, like, are dealing with some real crazy behavior.
A
Real crazy behavior.
B
So check out naggy bitch wife patreon.com the toast.
A
Now, I think without further ado, where are you?
B
It is time for the Fast 5 stories that you that do need to know.
A

And honestly I didn't choose it, but there was a dear Toaster submission today about a girl, she's like dating a guy, she likes him so much, but his breath is so bad they just wanted to send her the link to Smart Mouth. So Smart Mouth is the only mouthwash that's scientifically proven to eliminate and prevent bad breath for 24 hours with just two rinses a day. So smart mouth prevents bad breath 12 times longer than the leading brand. And it's actually like getting down to the bottom of its science wise as to why you have bad breath and eliminating and not just masking it. A lot of the options on the market right now for different bad breath remedies are just going to cover it temporarily, not going to really target the root cause and get rid of it. So they're using science over at Smart Mouth, which I really appreciate. It's confidence in a bottle. It's unique dual chamber Bottle keeps their 2 solution separate until you're ready to rinse. When you pour, the two solutions will go into a cup and activate the Smart Sync technology. This zinc ion activation is the key to eliminating and preventing sulfur gas, which is a scientific term for bad breath. And it is the secret to all day fresh breath. Smart Mouth was developed by dentist and a dentist recommended before I got pregnant. I've always been like a really breath conscious person. Like I could smell someone's breath and just like, no, it's not the vibe. So Smart Mouth was always a brand that really smoked me. Now I could literally smell Ben's insides. I can tell you what he had for breakfast three days ago. Like it's insane. My nose. And so we really need to stay on top of it like for sake of, you know, the health of me and the child. And Smart Mouth has been a fabulous resource for Ben and I because something about Ben, like he eats the craziest food. So he's just like, prone to having really crazy breath. Not to, like, put him on the spot, but sorry, you'll never have bad breath again. Find Smart Mouth at Walgreens, Walmart, and Amazon. Or you can visit smartmouth.com toast and you'll snag a special discount on your next purchase. That's S m a r t m o uh, dot com toast. Don't miss out on 24 hour fresh breath. Your mouth will. Thank you.
B
Thank you. You're Turt.
A
You're welcome.
B
Smart Turt. Smart toot. I'd rather see Smart Turd out there shaking that thing.
A
Shaking that thing. 100 king.
B
I love smart Mouth.
A
Once again, up all the ads. Like, all the work that I just did. It up with your confusing. Yay.
B
Smart Mouth and Smart Turd. Good first story. Zoe Kravitz is breaking her silence about her split from Channing Tatum.
A
Oh, I didn't see this.
B
It just dropped. Breaking news.
A
Okay.
B
Because Zoe Kravitz is on the COVID of Elle's March issue, and she is talking about her ex, Channing Tatum, because their movie Blink Twice just came out. So I guess that they maybe met on the set of the movie or.
A
If I don't know, it was like a project. I think that they just like a passion that they worked on together.
B
So she's talking about the passion that they worked on together and their relationship. So she was asked whether she. Their split has affected how she feels about their movie, and she said, not at all. I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much. Even when you bring up how great his performance is, it warms my heart to hear that. And I'm so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together. She says she's very mature. Yeah. I feel like it's the sort of thing where it's like, yeah, she's like. She's amazing. I love him because he's, like, sitting in a room crying, you know?
A
Right, right. It's easy to be the bigger person when, like, you're the one who clearly broke up with the other.
B
Yeah. And I don't know what exactly happened between them, but I do feel like that's that happened, especially in the way that she's talking now. There's. There's, like, no animosity, nothing.
A
She just gives the vibe like she's in control.
B
Yeah. Even when they were together, it was, like, very cool for him.
A
Yeah. She's always been, like, the leader here in terms of all of it. Like, they were hanging out with Taylor Swift, like, because of her.
B
Yeah. And that. But regardless, like, actually not even about Taylor Swift. Just like, he's kind of. He's Channing Tatum. Like, he's. He's very handsome, silly, goofy, corny. And she's the epitome of the cool girl. And just like.
A
Right. That's why I brought up Taylor Swift. Like, their coolness was her.
B
Yes.
A
Like, they weren't getting invited to these cool places. And they were also just like a. An interesting couple people found interesting because of her. She's really like a very interesting, first of all tier of celebrity. She's like Nepo baby. But she's also really successful on her own and she comes from just like a really fabulous circle of women. And he is. Yes. Magic Mike.
B
Yeah. So she also said that he has a lot to offer talent wise, and that she's excited for people to keep witnessing that. He has so much more coming. And I think he's in a place as an actor where he's feeling really confident and people are seeing different sides of him. And I do think that speaks to the, like, other side of Magic Mike, you know, like, maybe he'll start doing indie films and be a more serious actor, which I don't want to see. But I know that, like, that earns people street cred in the industry.
A
Like, if you've been paying attention and you've seen the movie she's the man, you would know that Channing Tatum is probably one of the most talented actors of our time. Now, has he chosen roles up after that that I would, you know, have agreed with and told him to do if I was his manager?
B
No, you mean my having said that.
A
Like, I feel like his movie career isn't what it should be.
B
Yeah.
A
When I think of Channing Tatum, I think of, like, international heartthrob. Everybody loves him. Like, what's he in?
B
21 Jump Street. Magic Mike Step up.
A
The 21 Jump street route was good. I liked that for him.
B
Yeah. More like blockbuster comedies.
A
Right. But those movies, like, sort of went out of style a little bit like the super bad type of film. So he got in on that and then he did. And I like, I get why Magic Mike is attractive. Right. It's huge budgets, huge product, studio productions. Like, it's a way for everyone in the world to know you and you make a ton of money.
B
And don't forget he's a dancer.
A
Right. Step up.
B
He's a very good dancer. So you want to dance, too.
A
But when you do that. I feel like this is what we're always talking about. Like, you have to sort of, if you care, you have to balance both, like, those big franchises with, like, your indie art films to, like, still be taken seriously as an actor.
B
Yeah, but like, Joe Manganiello's in Magic Mike. Right?
A
Yeah. And I. Right. I think that.
B
But you don't take him seriously.
A
I take him seriously as my celebrity crush.
B
Yeah.
A
But that's about it.
B
Well, this is sweet for them. I feel sad for Channing because this just confirms that, like, his heart was broken.
A
Do you think when him and Jessie J broke up, it was him or her?
B
That's a tough one for me to.
A
Talk about or to answer to talk about.
B
Like, that's true love. I know that was true love. But that Jessie J is happier than she's ever been in her life. So it actually wasn't true love. And, like, everything happened the way that it was supposed to.
A
Correct.
B
But it's just hard for me to reconcile that it wasn't supposed to happen for her With Channing.
A
It would have been better if, like, her happy ending with, like, the baby and everything after all of her, like, fertility struggles, if it would have happened with him. But it wasn't meant to be. I agree. Like, we can't lament over that. We really can't. No.
B
And I. I've been trying to move forward day by day step.
A
Sorry to bring it up.
B
And so, yeah, I feel like I'm going backwards in my journey.
A
But I do love that, like, Channing Tatum is kind of girly in the sense that he uses his dating career as, like, a big part of his star. Like, and how he stays relevant. Like, I feel like we're recently talking about him so much exclusively because of who he's dating, never because of his work.
B
Well, now he's in Blink Twice, which.
A
Again, is really only being spoken about because they worked on it together. It's like a. It was a passion project. It's like a very small independent film.
B
Yeah. And then before that was his wife, Jana Dewan. Yeah.
A
Dropped the Tatum and she. Her husband moved on, has a baby with someone else.
B
Like, but her husband was, like, doing something.
A
He was starting drama. Right.
B
I'm Googling it. Steve.
A
He was talking.
B
He was talking about someone.
A
Steve. Z. Kazi. Do you think if. Oh, Kazi. Spell it.
B
K A Z E E. I'm just gonna search. Steve Kazi. Drama. Oh, he posted. Haha. When Channing and Zoe broke up, was that it?
A
That's too recent. The thing I'm thinking about was, like, way later. Maybe it's on his Wikipedia. It's not like, what are we thinking of?
B
He did post ha when Channing and Zoe broke up, and I feel like that was it, actually.
A
Really?
B
Yeah. Which that wasn't nice. But he did work on the Twilight soundtrack, so he does, like, get a little bit of a pass.
A
Wow. People who worked on the Twilight soundtrack, like, are of another Elk. Like, they're the most talented people on the planet.
B
Exactly.
A
The way they seamlessly wove, like, Christina Perry, the Civil wars, and then also Claire de Lune in there. It's actually like, a piece of art.
B
Yeah. What did he do on it? I just. I don't know why I always remember that about him. Because it's worth remembering, honestly.
A
He gives Matthew coma energy.
B
He does give Matthew coma energy. And, like, not know why. Why?
A
Like, you get what I'm saying?
B
Yeah, no, no, I agree with you. And it's like, that's not a good thing.
A
Because the way I see it, it's like, you have a job in music that, like, we've never heard of you. We only know you because of your partner, Hillary Duff. But if, like, if we were to look into it, like, oh, you do have a pretty legit music career.
B
No. And it's like, the couple times you've come up on your own, like, I'm not digging it. Like, even Matthew Como recently was in the news, and I thought it was so losery.
A
Okay, so he was in the news for, like, something positive. But a lot of people didn't see what happened before that. But you and I did. We were setting the screenshot back. He was selling these T shirts, like, against Connie. I guess Matthew com is Jewish. I didn't know that. And someone. He was, like, selling these T shirts, and somebody was like, which charity? It was all for charity. And he was like. Somebody commented, like, oh, which charity is this going towards? Like, which Jewish charity? Obviously, this is, like, a Jewish T shirt. Because it's Jewish.
B
Yeah. His T shirt said, like, fuck it, right after the Kanye T shirt.
A
Kanye.
B
Yeah.
A
So he got involved, you know, and he was, like, making these T shirts for charity. And somebody was like, which Jewish charity are you donating these to? He's like, I had a really hard time finding, like, a legit Jewish charity. So all of it's going to a mental health organization. What. What you could find a Jewish charity for? So I could give you a thousand. And they're like. They're huge. Like, once you've all heard of. And so instead of doing like five minutes of work, you give it to a mental health organization. Like, what?
B
What?
A
So but then he ended up donating it to like a Jewish charity. I forget which one.
B
And so do with the Holocaust. I mean, there are a million. Like, there's a million.
A
When you think about Jewish charities, like, you could start with the Holocaust. Of course, it's like a thousand. Then he ended up, like choosing a charity, a Holocaust one. And the shirts went viral. And then that's where it became a story. But Jackie and I like, saw the screenshot of his comment, like, responding me like, I couldn't find a good one.
B
Like a reputable. No, he was like, also just kind of insinuating that like a lot of Jewish charities, like, that he might not agree with them. And like, I just, I want to find there are so many obvious ones. So if those aren't the ones that like, come to mind, like, if those are ones that like, you wouldn't support, like even Zaka, for example, you've got issues.
A
Okay, so somebody, I found it. Somebody was like, oh my God, this is for a Jewish charity. He goes, I'm Jewish. I like when people say that. Like, I'm like, leave me alone, I'm Jewish. And I had a hard time figuring out which charities were legit or didn't have a questionable history. And I didn't want to make the wrong call. So I decided to give to a mental health organization I know firsthand is doing great work. Now I want to say something. He doesn't even name the mental health organization, which is just shady people. Like, if you're selling something for charity, like, it's sort of. I don't know if it's even like the law, but it's the right thing. Like, let me know what charity. So he doesn't even say it. And what does that even mean? Jewish organizations that have. Literally, the comment sounds like it was.
B
Written by an anti semite 100%. For me, it feels like the Jewish organizations would probably be obviously like pro Israel and that he's not. That's why, like, he's murky for me.
A
Oh, that's funny. I didn't even think about that.
B
Because of course, like, when you think of Jewish organ, like Friends of the idf, Zaka, a lot of them do. Like, there are so many big ones. So if those to him have like Yad Vashem, questionable histories, then he's problematic to use everyone's favorite word.
A
Matthew Coma. Yeah. But then he ended up just Getting praised because he chose a Holocaust charity. He was selling these shirts like against Kanye. Okay, let me go find it. That's a good question. That's actually a very good question.
B
Yeah, there are a lot, Matthew. And it should like, it should go to a Holocaust foundation, especially because it's in direct response to like the swastika shirt. So which like that feels.
A
Blue Card, Holocaust survivor charity. Let me look it up on my way.
B
That sounds like a description.
A
The blue card fund.org looks legit.
B
I'm here.
A
It's crazy though, that I've never heard of it, like, and I. I know all of them. Assisting Holocaust survivors in need.
B
La Fire, hurricane and natural disaster relief. Blue Card Fund. It sounds like they do a lot of stuff. Like it's not the COVID 19 response.
A
$7 million in aid to survivors battling cancer. Are these Holocaust survivors?
B
Okay, so the Blue Card fund does like a lot of different things. They cover a lot of buc. Now did he. One of them is specifically to the Holocaust. 1.
A
He said blue card, Holocaust survivor charity. Yes. I'm glad we got down to the bottom of that.
B
The Blue card gives direct financial assistance to Holocaust survivors who need it most. Emergency cash, dental and medical assistance. Parchy monthly assistance.
A
It was just kind of crazy to like raise a shirt, sell a shirt about anti Semitism, and then give the proceeds to mental health. That's like if I ran a charity for, you know, cancer and gave all the money to lupus, you know, like they're different causes.
B
Yeah, yeah. That was a weird moment.
A
It was. But nobody knew about it because he ended up doing the Holocaust thing. And then it was like, woohoo.
B
No. And everyone wanted to feel good. Like fuck, yay. Did my part. And no one, like, actually for mental health. Do a little digging.
A
Right.
B
So yeah. He doesn't earn a gold star for me on that.
A
No. And Channing Tatum would never.
B
Channing would never. He would literally.
A
That's my. That's my non charitable king right there. Never is given a penny.
B
Anyways, are you ready for our next story? I tried again to not choose it, but.
A
Oh my God. If it's about Meghan Markle, I actually, I'm. I'm vetoing.
B
Okay.
A
Because I don't even know what you're talking about. Like, nothing happened yesterday.
B
No, nothing happened. But now she's been like, accused.
A
Actually, something did happen.
B
What did you see?
A
Is this about her talent agent dropping her? I saw that.
B
No, because that's unclear still.
A
Right.
B
This is about the Pamela Anderson comparisons. Have you Seen this one?
A
Seriously? I'm not going there. Like, no. Veto.
B
Okay, we'll move on to the next story party. Next up, Christopher Nolan's first look at the Odyssey he is directing.
A
Oh, my God, that sounds so boring.
B
I don't know. I feel like I could never get into the book. Maybe I could get into the movie.
A
So the Odyssey is a part of like, Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey, Right?
B
Odyssey. And he is bringing the Odyssey to the big screen. TMZ has photos.
A
This is huge for high school students. Like, like, huge. If there had been a movie back in the day, like, I would have went on to do great things.
B
But it's probably gonna be a very long movie. I don't even know, like, if you would have watched it.
A
Right. And that's Christopher Nolan's thing. And also, I don't think at the age that I was reading, supposed to be reading Homer, like, would I have ever even appreciated a Christopher Nolan film. I still find them, like, a little chewy.
B
Yeah. I don't know if I've ever even watched one this Oppenheimer I might watch just to get a grasp of the obvious.
A
Have you not seen Oppenheimer?
B
I've not seen Oppenheimer, no.
A
Wow, that's really crazy of you.
B
It is crazy, but it just came out at a time in my life where I'm not sitting down to watch three hour long movies. I was just thinking about because I saw Moana too is coming to Disney plus and I was like, will I ever watch it? And then I'm thinking about how I saw Moana 1 in theaters, like back in the day, like, how much? So did I time did I have that? I'm going to see, like a kids movie. I'm a kids movie.
A
All the other movies I saw Moana in theaters and I actually fell asleep. And it wasn't a statement on the movie. I must have been really tired. And I was at one of those theaters with like really big chairs.
B
It's relaxing.
A
It's so jarring. I've fallen asleep at two movies.
B
What's the other one?
A
Do you know the other one? You were there. Yeah.
B
I fell asleep three separate times during Lincoln. I actually. That was now I might appreciate Lincoln.
A
Yes. But at the time, it was genuinely one of the most dreadful afternoons of my life.
B
Yeah. I was really hungover.
A
I was just like, why am I watching this movie?
B
Yeah. Now I would love to go to the movies and see Lincoln.
A
A nice piece of historical film.
B
Right. So like these like, years, whatever's Come out. But the good news is, like, we keep tabs on, like, the movie circuit. And I don't think I'd miss that much. But I did miss Oppenheimer. The Odyssey has set sale. They're filming in Morocco, if you want to go.
A
Excuse, did you. You say Morocco?
B
Yeah, the village of it, Benado, in the country of Morocco. And from the looks of the set, it's going to be epic.
A
Now, what is the Odyssey about? Is it like a fantasy?
B
No.
A
Is it about Greek gods?
B
Like, it's not, but it is about a journey. Well, that's what Odyssey means. But it's about like, a man on a boat. A big boat, I think.
A
Okay, so like Titanic.
B
I think it's like a man who leaves home to fight a war on a big boat.
A
It's like a fake fantasy. Right? It's not like something that could happen in real life.
B
Here's the summary. It tells the story of Odysseus's journey home after the Trojan War. That sounds like real.
A
Oh, okay.
B
So Odysseus is the king of Ithaca. He leaves home to fight in the Trojan War. After the war, he encounters many perils and is delayed for 10 years on his journey home. While he's away.
A
Miserable.
B
Miserable. While his he's away, his wife and son are besieged by suitors. He returns home and destroys the suitors with the help of Telemachus, who is his son.
A
So it sounds like fake.
B
So themes include fate, the gods, free will, piety.
A
Do we know who's been cast? Who is Odysseus?
B
That's a great.
A
That's kind of the role of a lifetime.
B
It is. It's like a movie that they would have in like, Entourage, where it's like they're casting the Odyssey.
A
Yes, exactly. Like Medellin.
B
Odysseus is Matt Damon.
A
Channing Tatum.
B
Matt Damon is Odysseus. Tom.
A
So interesting.
B
Tom Holland is in it as the Sun. I would guess so. And Elliot Page.
A
As who?
B
Let me try and see. They only told me Matt Damon is Odysseus.
A
I find that shocking. I know Matt Damon, like, is one of the greatest actors, like, of our time when you think about, like, goodwill hunting. But in recent years, he's just like, been known as, like, to me, like Ben Affleck's friend and the guy from the Duncan commercials. Like, he doesn't give serious actor anymore, although I know he has the chops and I know he's quite capable. Yeah, yeah.
B
Goodwill hunting like he'll always have.
A
No, I know. I'm Saying like, no in his OG career, like, that got him to the place of Matt Damon. Like, he is one of the most talented actors ever. I don't think of him like that anymore. I think of him as like. Like somebody who does commercials.
B
Yeah. Well, now he's getting back into the game with, like, this huge role. I don't know how you also in the. The Outer Space movie.
A
Right. Okay.
B
And that was serious. He had to, like, live on a planet and, like, make potatoes out of his duty.
A
Oh, duty potatoes, my favorite.
B
Yeah, I didn't.
A
I don't. I don't remember that part of the movie, but I also didn't see it.
B
I think there was duty involved in the potato making, like, fermenting, like maybe in the fertilizer.
A
Yeah, the fertilizer.
B
Yeah. He made so many potatoes.
A
Well, Christopher Nolan is, like, kind of known for, like, not giving a. About, like, the actors history. Just like coming into audition, like, if you're good, you're good.
B
Yeah. So honestly, this is star studded. The only one who has, like, the name of their character is Matt Damon being Odysseus. But here's who else is in it. So Tom Holland, Elliot Page, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson.
A
Wait, Zendaya and Tom. That's so cute.
B
Yeah. Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o, and then Mia Goth. Who's that?
A
Interesting.
B
Yeah. So it's gonna be a big one. You know, we'll be talking about it awards season five years from now.
A
I think that every time Christopher Nolan, like, farts, it's sort of big news for the community.
B
But the fact that he's adapting something that we all know.
A
Yeah.
B
Is very exciting.
A
Damn, I didn't know that.
B
I hope that he sticks to the text because, like, Homer would vomit.
A
Christopher Nolan does seem like a purist. You know, he's not out here. Like, obviously he wants to put his own spin on things, but he respects literature, I would assume.
B
Yeah. Who did the Napoleon movie? Was that Christopher Nolan?
A
No, no. The last thing Christopher Nolan did was Oppenheimer. He does, like, one big thing every few years.
B
Right. Napoleon movie was the Ridley Scott. The other one.
A
So similar.
B
So the other one.
A
So the other one.
B
Are you ready for our next story? Some crazy news. Want to get your thoughts on protocol?
A
Okay.
B
Heartbroken passengers reveal they were made to sit beside a dead body for four hours after a woman died on a flight. An Australian couple has been left heartbroken after they say they were forced to sit next to the body of Another passenger who died midway through their flight. The couple was traveling on Qatar Airways from Melbourne to Venice when a woman on board collapsed and died. It was pretty heartbreaking to watch. They said they went to try and move her. They brought this chair down and tried to wheel her up towards business class, but she was quite a large lady and they couldn't get her through the aisle.
A
Like, let's not disgrace the dead. Like, that's really disrespectful. That's. I didn't see that part of the story.
B
That part. But that actually answers like the question that we would have.
A
Why did they move her?
B
Why did they try and move her? So anyways.
A
Well, you know what, Try harder. Like, seriously.
B
So she died and then they kept her in her chair, they put a blanket over her and the couple had to sit next to her for four more hours.
A
That's crazy.
B
Like, that is crazy.
A
But why didn't the. Why didn't the plane land?
B
I don't know.
A
Like, is that not cause for an emergency landing? Somebody died on your plane.
B
That's a good question.
A
Or unless they were like over the ocean and the. The closest airport was four hours ago. Maybe they didn't land. Or maybe they didn't land in Venice. They landed somewhere closer. But it was still four hours away.
B
Yeah.
A
Because Australia is, you know, famously surrounded by water.
B
They said that they weren't allowed to move their seats. They.
A
That's also crazy. You're telling me there was not two other seats available or, or one. I just feel like they also could have moved the woman. Now obviously like her being so fudgeing huge. Right. According to them is a challenge. But like there are other able bodied people on the plane. Like there would have been people who would have offered to help move and like lay her under a sheet and like give her a little bit of.
B
Move her where I think that not moving her and also like if they're going to investigate the circumstances of her death, like you don't want to tamper with, I think like starting to move like a dead body and getting the whole cast and crew involved, like is crazy. And they're better off leaving her there. And if there were no other seats open on the plane, then like, then these people would just have to like deal. But they said that they could see some spare seats and they weren't allowed to go sit there. That's the problem.
A
That's crazy, by the way. That's really crazy.
B
Yeah.
A
And I could see an airline being like, well, the only two seats we have are in a cabin above your class. Like, I'd be like, sorry, that'll be. It's giving, you know, the Titanic. Will the lifeboats be seated according to gender in class.
B
But they were about to move the dead body to business, Right?
A
No, there's something off about this story. Like, extremely bizarre.
B
Yeah.
A
And that's me. Oh, I'm suing. I'm flying free Guitar for life.
B
Right. They said that they have not received support or an offer of counseling following the flight.
A
Oh, okay. So they're soft. They need counseling. I mean, to be clear, like, actually, that was kind of me. To me, like, sitting next to a dead body for four hours is traumatizing. Like, I don't. I saw a dead body at the airport once. And by saw, I mean, like, literally. I drove past it slowly. Like, I. When I was pulling up to, like, the curbside check in area, he was like, a couple cars down from me. Obviously. Just, like, was an older gentleman who passed away. And like, I saw them putting a sheet over him. Let me tell you, my whole day was ruined. I couldn't get over it. I was so upset by it.
B
Yeah.
A
And that was just, you know, a fleeting moment. Not a four hour plane ride.
B
Yeah.
A
Have you ever seen a dead body?
B
I knew you were.
A
Aside from like a funeral.
B
Like, I don't. Nothing comes to mind. I don't want to think too hard.
A
Yeah. That time it was lax. For anyone who's curious. Like, I. I could. I could pick him out of a lineup right now. Like, I remember that face was so sad.
B
Yeah. Very sad. So sad for this couple. Sad for the lady. Of course. Very unfortunate. They should have let him then move the seats. Like.
A
Yeah. I mean, what are we talking about here? It's insane.
B
Yeah. Are you ready for our next story?
A
Is it fifth and final? Because we skipped.
B
It is fifth and final.
A
I'm gonna make up for it in dt. I'll pull an extra one. I actually pulled a bunch of really good ones today, so.
B
Perfect. The sex story is actually really cute. We're getting. So rumors have been swirling for a while. We didn't even talk about this, but rumors have been swirling about Leo from Love is Blind dating Ali Shapiro Zeals, Harry's daughter.
A
I. I have seen them and I haven't acknowledged them because I have media literacy. Like, these two are so clearly not dating and. Okay, continue.
B
So he was just talking to Page Six and is telling the story about how this all went down. That he says that he and Ellie are not dating, but Jill Zarin had slid into his DMS after Love is Blind in an effort to set him up with Ali. So he said, so Jill, he said, I got a lot of random DMs. Jewish mothers are notorious for being straightforward and aggressive. So I was getting dms, like, my daughter would be perfect for you. Oh my God, you seem like such a nice Jewish boy. But he says one note from Jill Zarin caught his attention in particular because she was verified and had a lot of followers. So he was like, who's Jill Zarin? And he saw that she is from the Housewives. Her DM was like, hey, I think my daughter would be good. He said that he was confident she was. Jill was confident that he and Ally would click when she reached out to him. Had been roughly a month since Ali had split with her ex fiance. So Jill was like, we live in Miami. I happen to be going to. Leo happened to be going to Miami for Art Basel. You know, he's an art dealer. Of course. Her message was actually really nice. So they facilitated a meet up. She because Jill was like, look, whether you date or are just friends, I think you two would really get along. And he said that she was right. They immediately hit it off. He said the first time we met was at Art Basel. And the moment that we met, I felt like we knew each other for years. They have been hanging out a lot. Completely as friends though. But like. And yeah, I know there are million photos of them, like at different events together.
A
They've been making a ton of tick tocks, like playing pickleball. And my question is, what's the point? Like you're two grown ass single adults who obviously get along really well. Like start. Let's go.
B
Yeah. The way he describes her though, I do feel like a relationship could blossom from this because he said it's just a friendship and we are really, really good friends. She's awesome. And it's funny because we have so much in common. Reality show stuff, art stuff. She actually worked at an auction house for a long time, plus being Jewish. And both of them have experienced a parent passing away from cancer. So they have a lot in common.
A
Right, right. Well, great. Like what's the problem?
B
I think we gotta let these two marinate.
A
I love Jill's Aaron. Like this is so something she would do and I'm happy for her that like it actually worked out, you know?
B
Yeah. Almost. We're halfway there.
A
Well, we're halfway there. But like if, if nothing, just abutting friendship.
B
Yeah. I wonder how Britney feels about all this.
A
I know and it's like, could there be two more different girls?
B
Like, she wanted to go to Miami.
A
Yeah.
B
She did get to go to Miami, though.
A
It's actually so crazy how, like, people on Love is Blind are temporarily so famous. I was on Tick Tock and I must be watching a lot of Love is Blind Tick Tock content. So they're serving me, like, other stuff. And I got a video from, like, a former castmate and I didn't know who it was at first. He looked so familiar to me. And his name was Kyle. Do you remember him? He worked in construction.
B
What city was he from?
A
He kind of looked. Hold on. Kyle. I don't remember what city. Love is black.
B
I feel like I don't remember this, but.
A
No, no, you will.
B
Did I watch the city?
A
Yes. I think it was the deep tea season.
B
Chicago.
A
Kyle Abrams.
B
Oh, he got with. With Shane's ex.
A
Deep tea, right?
B
No, no, that was Shake.
A
No. Oh, but they dated after Kyle and.
B

And today I'll throw in an extra submission since we skipped over that that story. We have some time. Let me see which one was like the one I had a bunch of. There were a bunch of really good ones today. Oh, this one was crazy ready and it reminded me of the one I'm like waiting for an update on about the girl who found the pictures. This one was Kind of similar. Hey, Jackson Turdy. Crazy story. I was looking through my boyfriend's phone to find a photo he took of me to send to myself. Classic. While scrolling, I found a video. Yeah, like the such an innocent journey she went on. While scrolling, I found a video that was a black screen, but the sound was us having sex. It's weird. No? Do I ask him about it? Do I delete the video? Help. Because, I mean, he could so easily lie, being like, oh, my God, we were having sex and my phone was recording. Who knew? Oh, my God, that's so crazy. But that's weird.
B
It's weird, but it's not the worst case scenario, Right? He's not, like, filming.
A
I mean, I just feel like it's like a natural next step for him if he doesn't get caught, you know?
B
Maybe. So what do you do?
A
Well, you have to confront him.
B
Yeah.
A
And then I need you to. Really? Well, I need you to then, like, channel your maternal and not maternal, like your woman's intuition. And you know this man, like, is he lying? You know, when your partner's lying to you, their voice gets up. They look like. They look. You can't make eye contact. You need to sit him down, being like, I found this video. What? Like, explain it.
B
Yeah.
A
And he'll either say, oh, yeah, I wanted to jerk off to it. Like, he'll be honest, or he'll say, oh, my God, I had no idea, and study him.
B
Yeah.
A
Is he lying?
B
Yeah. And maybe he wanted to jerk off to it. And that's not so bad.
A
But, like, the word that comes to mind is consent.
B
Right.
A
And you wanted me to make a little audio file for you.
B
Sure.
A
But you have to tell me.
B
Boyfriend or husband?
A
Boyfriend.
B
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. You don't know this man?
A
Yeah. Giving stranger.
B
You have to remember, like, you're still strangers. Get to the bottom of it. Now's the time.
A
Yeah. You have to have the conversation and then really trust your instinct.
B
And then also. Is it just the one? Like, go through the rest of his phone. Like, is it just the one video? Because that could mean an accident. Is this habitual behavior?
A
Go look, just go straight to his album of videos and.
B
Yeah.
A
And see if you see any other black screens.
B
Everything that you can, you know, recently deleted.
A
That's a good call.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Let's establish a path before you confront him. Get all the information you possibly can.
A
Oh, for sure. I like that.
B
Stranger, literally.
A
Kick this stranger out of your bed.
B
I'm gonna. There's definitely space for non nefarious.
A
To be innocent.
B
Yeah, of course. 100. However, the fact that there's not a ton of space. No, but there's like other things are so cut and dry. Like there's space for an error.
A
Yes, yes, yes.
B
But I don't know. So I don't know it. Yeah, but there's, there's, there's opportunity and if he's a good guy, like, you know, you know.
A
Yeah. Okay. This one's really crazy. I feel like ever since like a couple of weeks ago we did one about breastfeeding, everybody started writing in like their weird breastfeeding.
B
They now know it's open season.
A
Jackson Turdy. I have a one year old who's still breastfeeding and whenever my husband and I are having sex, he wants to suck on my boobs to get some milk. When he first did it a year ago, I thought he was just excited about like my huge milk filled boobs. But now he's trying to make it like a regular thing. Is this weird? Do I say anything or just bite my tongue since I'm weaning now. Sincerely, a toaster whose husband thinks she has endless milk supply.
B
Well, since you're weaning like and you made it through, don't bring it up. Like, don't make a.
A
No, I think, I think this was worth talking about.
B
No, I feel like the time passed, like it's done. What's there to talk about? And like, what if I don't know? This is definitely like weird territory.
A
There was an episode of Working Moms. Do you remember that show, the Canadian show where she was like sleeping with someone, like this young guy and she was also breastfeeding. She just had a baby. And I don't know if he was like into it, but there was like something about it. Maybe watch that episode and see what she did.
B
I don't know. I would also like, like the Community if people could weigh in here, like.
A
Chime in.
B
What to do, what to do.
A
Yeah. At this point.
B
No, the thing is the time, the.
A
Time might have passed for you to say something. But like, are you curious? I am.
B
No, I think like because you're weenie, like seriously, it's over. But if people want to weigh in, I'm like, yeah, my husband does this.
A
Oh yeah. Is this universal? I don't think it is.
B
I don't think it's universal, but I feel like it might be more common than people would expect.
A
Really?
B
I don't know. Because it's like, I don't know. I Mean, like, not for me personally, but I'm just, like, trying, like, you know, I'm trying to be open minded.
A
She's failing. She's trying and failing. All right. My sister in law likes all. Sorry. My sister in law likes all the reels about not liking your husband's family, AKA how we're related, and not wanting to spend any time with them. I'm not sure she knows that. I can see that she likes them.
B
Should I say anything that is hysterical?
A
That is. Yeah.
B
Real.
A
It should be personal.
B
No. When I see those reels from people who are, like, complaining about their in laws, I'm like, aren't your in laws gonna see it? I never even thought about all the people liking it.
A
Yeah. I thought more so about the people who made the content.
B
I think that a lot, like, how are you making this? Like, you're about to, like, seriously ruin every relationship in your life.
A
You're at a place where. Where it doesn't matter.
B
What?
A
You're obviously at a place where it doesn't matter.
B
Yeah, there's some people, like, there's like, I. There's this, like, one creator I used to see all the time where it's, like, all about, like, in law etiquette.
A
Yeah. But a lot of times, because my favorite girl, like, Shauna, she does a lot of stuff like that. A lot of her followers write in crazy stories and she, like, acts it out.
B
Yeah. And then it's also weird. I was watching a video yesterday. This is kind of a tangent, but it was about a woman, like, she was trying to explain why babies, like, need to be able to eat their food and not be fussed with and their mouth wiped and, you know, scooping up off the sides and shove a bite in there. And she, like. So she dressed up in, like, a bib and, like, sat at a kid's high chair, like, and, like, was eating her food and then had someone, like, simulate what, the wiping of the face. And it's just like, you made a really good point. Like, the point that she made I.
A
Actually like, but you look like clowns.
B
I appreciate it, but it's like, what are you doing sitting there in a pimp?
A
That's really crazy.
B
Actually sent it to Zach. I thought the point was so good, but was there. Was there a way to make the point, like, without you eating baby food and putting a bib on?
A
Now, I know I said I would do an extra deer toasters, but I just want to be open and honest with the community. Like, I'm three seconds away from pooping in my pants.
B
Did we even do two? Oh, yeah.
A
Okay, we did three, so I'm going. You can wrap up the show. Like, I really have to go.
B
Oh, okay. Wait. Love you so much. Like, seriously, you guys are amazing. I hope you like the song, I hope you like the show. And we'll see you again tomorrow. In case you didn't like this one, there'll be a new one tomorrow. Love you.
A
Bye.
