Good morning, millennials. And welcome back to the toast. Happy Wednesday. Hump day. Gargy, pargy kind of day. It is a gargy day, even though this week it is unfortunately giving. Like, is it Thursday yet? Oh, it's tomorrow, Friday. Hodgepodge of days. No, it's just Wednesday, which I'm going to embrace. I'm going to bloom where I'm planted. It's yours. I'm going to look at the positives of this Wednesday, which, you know.

Yes, usher us into the latter half of the week. Does include Dear Toasters, my favorite segment ever. By the way, it's Wednesday. It's also kind of like a big day in our house. And it's a big day in our house because it's Charlie's birthday. Let's take a moment. You know, one year old Charlie Barley. What a journey. What a time. What a year. Circlage.

You know, you've come so far. Let's take a minute. We don't ever take a minute to look back at things at a glance. We never do that. No, the thing is, I know we do it all the time, but we actually never do it. That's why we make it such a joke when we do because we're incapable of like recognizing where we are in earnest.

So in an earnest way, let's recognize where we are. Charlie Barley Farley Larley Sarley is one years old. What does that mean? It just, I guess it means the beginning of toddlerhood, though he's such a baby to me. Such a baby.

Some babies like love being babies and others like are ready to be big men, like sitting up, don't want to be treated like babies, don't want to be held like babies. I feel like that's very much Levi Craveye energy. Oh yeah. Like Levi is not a baby, never was a baby. No, no. He literally came out of the womb like jogging. Yeah. I feel like Har was...

not super into baby things. Like he never even loved to be like held like a baby. He liked to always be held like vertically when you're like getting him to sleep. Charlie is such a baby. Moms love mom's angel. Moms love mom's angel. He loves being a baby and I love him being a baby. So it's crazy that he's one year. What a crazy year. It's honestly been a great year of, it's been a great year. It's not a lot of sleep, you know, but yeah,

It's been awesome. So I'm so happy to celebrate him today. Do some special things for Charlie Barley. Yeah, we're having tacos. Not a big deal. We're having like a taco night dinner party. That's our like party. Yeah, no, it's taco Wednesday. It's going to be everything. And I haven't eaten tacos. When we say tacos, of course, we're not talking about authentic tacos.

tacos. We're talking about old El Paso on some ground chicken. I like a taco salad. I feel like the way that everybody feels that I have to talk about Tarek El Moussa like X amount of times per month in order to like continue functioning. I have to talk about old El Paso like at least once every quarter. I fucking love old El Paso. I literally and I sent them we sent them a list for the grocery store. Like do not come back with any other type of seasoning. Yeah, I don't and I'm sure maybe it's better. You know, I don't want it.

Yeah. Because it's not that we like tacos. It's that we like old El Paso. It's not like you go out and get tacos. No, no. And like, I guess you guys know I do sometimes. I like, I only like breakfast tacos. That's not tacos. No, that's not tacos. I have seen on Tik TOK. Um, I don't know like the exact type of taco, but like you dip it in like that spicy sauce. And especially in LA tacos is like a whole culture. No, that's not what I'm talking about. When I see tacos, like I want yellow, old El Paso shells, old El Paso, old El Paso brand, everything shells,

seasoning. I don't know what the hell else they make, but like I want it all. Yeah. I want it. I want it. I want it. Speaking of things that we want. No, that's not a good segue. Saturday is almost upon us. August 17th, our final live podcast, the Borgata Casino. We're going out with a bang. We're going to see you guys in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday. We cannot wait to see you all. Tickets are available at thechosepodcast.com. Sorry, just had to slip that in. No, that's so fun and so exciting. And that's kind of

the rainbow at the end of this week that seems to never end but now is in a good place because it's Wednesday dear toasters Charlie's birthday and I'm also I'm of the elk and of the mind that like one-year-olds don't need like a birthday party because it's really for for you and it's like what's your ideal night to celebrate your oh sorry that's for my loaves and oh Jackie made some big sourdough loaves and we've tasked Ben to take them out now they're ready take out take out you

Yeah. Because when I just took the lids off 10 minutes ago, like they were shaping up to be some of my best loaves yet. And they're Charlie's birthday loaves so that he cannot burn them. We can't let Ben be the reason. No. Like as if we need more to blame him on. I wrote take out, take out.

He said, yep. Okay. Okay. We are good. We're good. We're good. So sorry you had to hear my alarm. That must have been jarring for you if you were sleeping. No, that literally must be triggering. You ever like hear an alarm and like your day is ruined? But just know like it was for two gorgeous loaves for Charlie's birthday. And like, I think you'll be okay with what happened.

I don't have that problem anymore ever since I got the hatch. This isn't an ad, even though they are a sponsor. Don't forget to use Coat Toast. Ever since I got the hatch, I don't have like alarm PTSD. You know, when you're using the iPhone alarms and then throughout the day, somebody's like birth control alarm goes off. You're like in hell, right? It's like nom. You hear the sounds again. I don't have that. I do sometimes when I hear, and I hear it quite often, the song Good and Broken by Miley Cyrus. When me and Margo were in like middle school and we shared a room, we woke up every morning on our like flip phones to...

Good and Broken by Miley Cyrus. Are you... And before the lyrics came on, you would hear in your dream, you would hear the...

And you'd be like, why is this song playing in my dream? Are you overloaded, candy coated, your life's imploding? We weren't lying when we said Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana literally raised us. She woke me up for many years. And that's such a shame because that's such an incredible song and it totally ruined the song. Yeah. For a long time, I woke up to Perfect Day by Hoku as sort of an aspirational, like sun's up.

Even though it's like winter in New York. It's a little after 10. You wish. Make breakfast for my friends. Sure. I thought it was make breakfast for myself. I feel like she'd make it for me. Leave the world for someone else. Like else and self rhyme better than... Leave the work for someone. I feel like she makes breakfast for her friends, leaves the work for someone else. Like one of the friends can clean up. Right, like I cooked. Whoever cooks doesn't clean, which is a rule I kind of don't stand by. Well...

Let's talk about that because in our house, like we have a rule, like if you cook, you don't clean. And nobody takes more advantage of that than Ben. So he'll cook because he actually enjoys it, which is also not fair. Then he'll like, he's, you know, special in the way that he cooks. Like no pan left unused. No utensils left. No pan left behind. But then he really is like, and some people who cook, they're like, oh, let me at least help clear.

No, Ben will literally sit and watch. And he's made such a pile of shit for us. And then he'll also like throw it in our face. Like I made dinner. It's like, okay. Can I tell you what else he's been doing that I don't know if you've noticed? Yes. You probably haven't noticed, but I've noticed keenly. What?

He, it's pretty strategic. Like shout out to him. Yeah, I know what you're about to say. He does Fork of July cooking. Right before dinner. And then that night he'll say, I'll make dinner for everyone. And so he leaves his Fork of July mess with the dinner mess. And all of a sudden we're all cleaning up Fork of July. And he thinks we don't know. Like we can't see the difference between what was Fudge and what was dinner, but we can. Because-

Like, even though he's cooking for Fork of Jai, like, you clean that up. You're really cooking for yourself. If someone else takes a bite of it, that doesn't mean that now they have to clean it up. No, that's why Ben's always, like, trying to get us to, like, try his stuff. Because then it's like, what do you mean? We all ate it. We all cook. I mean, we all clean. Just to clear it up. Sun's up. It's a little after 12. Oh, wow. Sleeping in. Make breakfast for myself. Leave the work for someone else. People say. People say. They say that it's just a phase.

They tell me to act my age.

Well, I am. Just in case you were curious. It's like a very aspirational way to wake up. Like this is going to be the perfect day. One thing about me, I'm not a morning person. No, and I think for a while we all thought if we woke up to songs that we really enjoy, like songs that truly boosted serotonin, perhaps we could undo a lot of the alarm trauma. No, it's just going to make you hate that song. Good songs. Though I've bounced back with Perfect Day because it's a bop through and through. That's really...

There are a couple songs that only exist in movies, right? Like we never heard them on the radio, but we know every word. Perfect Day is one of them. I feel like that. I was listening in the car. This random song came on. I didn't even know it, but I knew every word. Hold on. It's very like early 2000s types of movies that always play that same song. Okay, like. We got more bounce in California than all your. They need to play that at the Olympics opening ceremony if they really want to make a splash. By the way, that's like the vibe they were literally going for.

Okay. I'm not going to find what I'm looking for. It's called something about a bell. I can hear the bell. I wish. That's a song from a movie that we know every word, but we never heard on the radio. Yeah. Okay. No one's going to. Don't you hear him chime. But there's like a genre of music that like literally just played in. Yeah. Okay. Like this one. We're the kids in America. Whoa. We're the kids in America. Whoa. Everybody musical.

I think that was in New York minute featuring Mary Kate and Ashley. It was also in Riverdale. Oh, of course it was. And I think it's on the clueless soundtrack. Yep. And that's another song that they should play at the Olympics opening ceremony. Oh, I mean, also party in the USA. Yeah.

Totally. We have a lot of ideas if the Olympic IOC, you know, if the International Olympic Committee wants to work with a couple of gals with their fingers on the trigger, on figures on the pulse. Well, I think the LAOC needs us. The Los Angeles Olympic Committee. Yeah. Because they are in charge of the ceremony. I'm excited. Oh, and something I wanted to clear up. Apparently, like the hosting country is...

It's at their discretion what sports get added. So breakdancing was like a French thing they wanted to champion. And that obviously is like a shit stain on their resume. Like they will go down in history for making us watch that. LA has already said like, nah. No thanks. But they have added more things that are like kind of America coded. Baseball, softball is coming back because it's important to America. Yes. And I...

somebody had said I think there might be pickleball which would be so so many people sent me so many versions of like the same story graphic that explained what's coming back let me see if I if I saved one of them and I don't know I don't feel like it should be up to the country that

That feels like an unfair advantage. Like maybe breakdancing is huge in France and like nobody else does it. They didn't even win it. I know. But like, let's say pickleball is huge in America. I don't know if they play pickleball anywhere else. So adding it like you're giving people four years to become the best. Here's what's adding flag football. Why not football? Football?

They really don't play it anywhere else. That's what rugby is. Yeah, I don't know. No, flag football is football, but like you don't tackle each other. You just grab someone's flag. And do you think that they'll tap any of the NFL players? Yes. That's cool. Yeah, it is. I guess like Travis Kelsey, who like...

He's the same at football as he is at football because he doesn't tackle. He just runs and catches. Then lacrosse. Oh, that's a big one. We're such a lacrosse country. I'm happy for the lacrosse players who like play professional lacrosse and also work another job because it's not a job. Totally. Then baseball, which we know softball for the girlies. It's giving a league of their own. Cricket. Cricket.

Okay, British. Yeah, okay. Like that's something when, you know, London hosts, they can. And squash. So no pickleball. But squash is like elevated pickleball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we've got a great show today. We've got stories we've got to your toasters. Tell me about the stories. Like. Good. A lot of things that. Good question mark. That have been like in discussion in some way or another in the last few weeks.

So it'll be, yeah, I think all of them kind of like touch on things that we've been talking about. So you'll see. You'll see. That's what I'll say. You'll see. It's kind of, it also sort of remains to be seen. Yeah. And it's also stories are what you make them. So let's make them rock. Make them rock.

Slay. She really, the no crumbs. Well, that's the thing when you look back on the Hannah Montana, and we didn't even talk about it when we were talking about Hannah Montana at a glance. What's so sad is that so many of those songs, and they were probably the best songs ever made, you know? Yeah. The Hannah Montana entirety from the first song they released to the last were really, are very Billy Ray Cyrus coded. He wrote a lot of them. He produced a lot of them. He wrote them? Yeah. And...

I feel like he wrote the ones that we know that he wrote because on the show, like he made us know. So I don't feel like it's more than we think. Like I think butterfly fly away. Okay. I'm looking it up. Yeah. Um, I could also like see himself. You're right. By the way, he didn't write. I think any song that he wrote, like he pushed, he inserted himself into it on the show. So we know that it's not like nobody's perfect. Butterfly fly away.

Love that let's go. That's like a real deep cut from Hannah Montana forever. Yeah. He like always wrote the emo ones. Yeah. And like kind of the not good ones. Even the butterfly fly away is gargi pargi. I can set it aside if it means having to do away with that devil skank. Right. Everybody knows that devil skank. So like goodbye butterfly fly away. No, that one's kind of hard to let go. Butterfly fly.

away butterfly flying away yeah by the way he really did not write a lot of them the one that keeps coming up is a love that let's go and that one's like not even good it's okay like i can live without it though if it means standing by miley's side the way i feel about like hannah montana music similar to like the soundtrack of high school musical is how i feel about like mcdonald's you know the fact that

People like, you know, win James Beard awards for like some of the most disgusting fucking food you've ever seen in your life. And like McDonald's is out here serving up quality meals every single time. Like I think that they deserve a Michelin star and that's why, but it's looked down upon, right? McDonald's is like, ew, gross. I want to go eat at a Michelin star restaurant. And like when you travel abroad and like you don't eat the food, you're just like eating McDonald's, you're like a tacky American. Okay, please.

That's how I feel about like the music from High School Musical and Hannah Montana. Like to me, that's the best music ever made. Like similar to like One Direction when they were at their peak. Like that is the best music ever fucking made. And the fact that like people get Grammys or like they look down on like, oh, you know, like I'm listening to an orchestra. Like to me, the soundtrack from High School Musical. Like Beck won album of the year. Where was Hannah Montana's Grammy? Where was it's gonna be a night to remember. Like where, like that's where I feel I don't relate to my culture and my generation at all.

I feel like a lot of our generation gets that. I feel like the people listening to the show get that. And that's why we've created such a safe space for ourselves here. But certainly, you know, the media elites don't. Yeah. And I'm kind of sick of the media elite. I'm sick of them. We need to become them.

I think we are. In our own little corner. Sort of like twisted way. In our own little corner on our own little couch, we can be whatever we want to be. Cinderella like ate with that one. She was 100% right. It's giving delusional schizophrenic in the corner. Like you can't.

You can be whatever you want, but like you're still just like the girl cleaning the floors. Speaking of Cinderella, did you see the trailer for New Snow White? I did. I did. They're giving it their all. I did. And I saw that, you know, that it was like a big Disney weekend. They had like D23 like they're like. Yeah. Which Miley spoke at. Right. It's like a big convention. It's kind of like how when Tim Cook goes and like announces all the new Apple things, like all the Apple freaks show up, all the Disney freaks show up. It's giving like new fronts.

Yeah. And they announced like all their upcoming slate of content. And yes, we got the Cinderella trailer and really cool to know that, you know, to not offend any of, you know, any people from the little people community instead of, you know, giving them jobs and acting, they just created CGI little people, which is more offensive to me. Yeah. I thought they were doing away with dwarfs.

I think they were at one point. And then it was like the erasure of dwarves. Like that's not okay either. Like these are real people, but then they made them fake people. Yeah, no. They really didn't know how to navigate that. I will say they, they,

What's his name? Peter Dinklage. Peter Dinklage, girl boss a little too close to the sun because he made a big stink about it. So look what he did. He put all the fellow dwarf actors out of work because they still are using your culture. They're using your people for content, but they're not employing any of you. They're all CGI. Yeah, that's I don't think that was the right move either. I think he was trying to say like the movie made a lot of changes to be more.

quote unquote woke. Yeah. And he was saying like, you're making this like woke fest, but you're still having these like caricatures. Yes. I think maybe if the dwarves, if once we met them, if they weren't like snoozy, lazy, maybe if they had like a little bit more, like they were dynamic and maybe we get to know why he's so sleepy. Like what's going on at home. Developed people.

That would be better. Maybe they are. But the fact that it's CGI just takes away from the fact that there were seven actors who didn't get the job when it's already hard enough, I'm sure. Right. As a little actor. A thousand percent. Yeah. So I did see the trailer. Like I like. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I really don't want to go down this path. Let's just move on. Like seriously, Gal Gadot is my queen. I'm so happy to see her in the movie and she's amazing and everything she does. Agreed. And I can't say the same about that other girl. Let's just leave it at that.

So I'm ready to dive in. Not in the mood. No, me neither. Like it's a Wednesday. Is it not hard enough? It's hard enough being a Wednesday. So now, oh, also Turdy and I went out last night. Oh my God, we did. We looked gorgeous. We went to like a little party. Yes, it was a. An event. Dinner hosted by Rachel Zoe in collaboration with Love Shack Fancy. Look at us. And Jackie and I are having like a Love Shack Fancy summer. We keep wearing Love Shack Fancy. And so they've kind of seen us as the very like, you know, inspirational. Big spenders that we are.

And they invited us and we just like seriously showed up, ate everything and left. Like we literally showed up for the food and for the free dresses. We looked amazing. It was so fabulous. It was gargi pargi. I got so many bug bites, which like I'm really regretting today, but I looked amazing. So it's really all that matters. Yeah. We had a nice time and it was like, so like fashion swirlies of us. It's really crazy. Cause I don't go to like events like that a lot, but when I do at home, like I'm just like a fabulous girl in the back of an Uber, like FaceTiming making content, but

we drove cause we're in the suburbs obviously. And something so crazy about like driving to an event. I can't explain it. Like I had nice. Yeah. Oh, we saw Joe Jonas. He wasn't at the event. He was just at the facility that the event was being held at having drinks. Yes. On our way out. He was on the porch. Yeah. Portion. Portion. Yeah. With like his DNC.

yeah it was like giving band it was giving dnce era you know the one you know the one i think his new album's coming out any day now because i saw a headline that there's gonna be a lot of collaborations because he wants to include other people's narratives because he also like wants to do anything to eclipse his brother nick like these you couldn't can't convince me that those two don't fucking hate each other yeah

I can't go down this road right now either. No, no. I can't. I can't get invested in the Jonas Brothers anymore. Like, seriously, they've taken so much of my time. My heart, you stupid bitch. Like your childhood. I can't. I really can't. So we're going to make a left turn again. Yeah. And we're going to go down the road of the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are not up on my iPad because I was dilly dallying reading the words to Perfect Day by Hoku. Yeah.

Now, without further ado, today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by Splenda. Splenda Stevia, to be specific. You know Splenda, the little packets of yellow sweetener. They have created something brand new, and it's Splenda Stevia. So just so you know, it's made by Splenda, like the Splenda COO is involved. It's the Splenda Co. However, it doesn't have any of the original Splenda in it. Splenda Stevia is an all-new plant-based sweetener that uses U.S.-grown Stevia.

So unlike other Stevia brand, Stevia uses U.S. grown Stevia that they grow on their own farm in Florida. Having a U.S. farm also means lower carbon emissions and greater sustainable practices. It comes in packets, pouches, liquids, feeders. Splendid Stevia is kind of like very Jackson Claude coated. I'm such a Splendid girl. Like I feel very loyal to the yellow packets. I go anywhere and they give you that thing with like the yellow, the pink, the blue. I'm like, I'm always going yellow. And Jax has recently, we've always been a yellow family too. Jackie has recently made the switch to Stevia.

And she said, you know, she was going on and on about the benefits. I'm like, yeah, that's great. But like, I'm a yellow girl. I'm sorry. I'm yellow, tried and true. She's always been a yellow belly. I have now with Splenda Stevia. It's kind of the blend of our two favorite things, Splenda and Stevia. Jackson Claw. It is, of course, a zero calorie sweetener. It is perfect to use anywhere you use sugar. I use sugar a lot. I'm always putting now these days Splenda Stevia in my sugar free drink.

Yogurt. Yogurt, making it a little tastier. Like I've always, I got yellow packets in my purse. You know, it always just kind of fancies up a dish.

Today's episode is also brought to you

I'm so sorry, by Row Body. So if you've heard of Ozempic, Wagovi, they're kind of taking the world by storms. You've probably heard three things. It's effective, but they're expensive and they're also really hard to get. But that's where Row comes in. I love Row. I'm a huge fan of these drugs. As you guys know, I had amazing success with one of them. But, and people ask me questions about it all the time, you know, side effects, things like that. But really the number one question I get is like, where do I start? How do I get it? Who do I go to? And it can be really, you know, intimidating. And also when, once you end up getting a prescription, it's

really unaffordable and inaccessible. So if you've been curious about Ozempic or Rigobi but you can't get your hands on it, that's where Ro comes in. You've probably heard about how effective they are and maybe...

This is the sign that you need to like take the jump head to row through row. You can access prescription compounded GLP ones with the same weight loss ingredients as the brand names that GLPs have, but at a fraction of the cost row is compounded GLP ones in stock. Now you can get it in one to four days if you qualify and members of row have support throughout the process. So if you're eligible for the medication, patients have access to their provider on demand for any questions.

If you qualify from the comfort of your own home, that means no scheduling doctor's appointment, no commute to the doctor's office, no waiting room. And then I think a lot of people are really embarrassed to ask for it and they don't know how to start that conversation with their doctor. This way, it's from home. It's not awkward. It's so easy.

If you're prescribed, your medication will ship directly to you in one to four days. So go to row.co slash toast. Memberships start at just $99 for your first month and medication costs are separate. That's ro.co slash toast. Go to row.co for black box warning and full safety information. Compacted medication is not required to and does not receive FDA review or approval. Rx only. That's row.co slash toast. Thank you. Slash chart. You're welcome. Slash Bert.

Our first story, we are circling back to It Ends With Us drama because more things are happening. A few things. First, a proud Blake Lively is addressing the domestic violence in It Ends With Us amid press tour backlash. So as we've discussed, she has been getting backlash for promoting this movie with flowers and hair and fun and girly swirliness. Like more movie star than like...

you know, platform using her platform. And he has promoted it as a very serious film talking about DV at most every turn. And now she's suddenly hitting back at the backlash. She said, um,

Amid claims that she has not focused on the film's serious themes, she re-shared a clip Tuesday on her Instagram story from an interview with BBC News. In the interview, she said, quote, Lily Bloom is not just a survivor and she's not just a victim. Lily Bloom is her character. And while those are huge things to be, they are not her identity. Well, she's getting dragged for that, too. So what she had said in the interview was like, you know, I don't want to minimize the

what, you know, being a victim is, but it's important to remember like people who are victims of a domestic abuse aren't, that's not your whole life. Like you're more than that. You're a mother, you're a sister, a friend. And people really didn't like that. She said that like that, you know,

it was like speaking down to victims. And I actually liked what she said. Like, yes, it's important to identify yourself as a survivor and a victim, but that's not all you are. And that's not all you're ever going to be. You're going to accomplish things. You're going to live a happy life. Like I actually thought it was a great message. And I think now we're getting to a point where like people have decided their sides. Right. And now no matter what she says or does, people will find fault with it. And same for him. I,

had not like I said the other day I had not really seen people like taking Justin Baldoni's hand I felt like that was the unpopular unpopular side but then I read the comments I was like oh okay and now I see what Turdy is talking about doesn't change how I feel I don't know why Blake Lively has to be the first person to one like spoil her movie in every interview that she gives and two like only mostly talk about the serious nature of the movie when the movie is so many other things too and it's a

press tour this is movie making it's hollywood these are red carpets like what do you want they're like she's not shining a light on domestic violence enough she literally starred in a movie about it like isn't that not shining a light on it and i don't know i think we're putting a lot of undue and like unwarranted pressure and scrutiny on blake and i i am team blake i've firmly come to that conclusion um and i feel like people are just hating on her

And I think she's really directly responding to the new, the line is like, you know, Blake's not serious, right? Blake is being, you know,

shallow about this using as an opportunity to promote herself and to promote her brands and Justin would never do that. That's what a press store is. And she now seems to be directly responding to that. Last night she put up an Instagram story with links and trigger warnings and a lot of people are mad that the movie doesn't have a trigger warning. I don't like trigger warnings. I don't think they should be a thing but that's just my personal opinion. The book doesn't have a trigger warning does it? And it's a spoiler. I don't know. Maybe new versions of the book do because it got so popular.

But yeah, it is a spoiler. I'm not sure. Then another clip of Blake is going viral where she's in an interview remotely with a journalist and she's on a couch with Brendan Slenar. And he's asked a question like, you know, this movie obviously talks about an issue that affects a lot of women. And you're doing a press tour, you're meeting a lot of fans of the book, fans of the movie, fans of you. And if somebody is...

wanting to talk to you about their experience with domestic violence, with this issue, what's the best way to do that? And she's getting torn apart for her answer where she's basically like, Oh, what do you want my address? You want my social security number? And then Brendan Sklenar is like kind of rolling his eyes at her being like this fucking bitch. And it's,

really going viral because he's so clearly like done with her and her answer is people are saying very j-lo coded people are saying she's in her j-lo era where she's like really not self-aware and like interacting with fans in a really weird way um and i agree the clip is very weird and her answer is like kind of rude um but i don't think there's enough people talking about what a bad fucking question that is what a bad question on so many levels i also think she misunderstood the question because i think the guy was saying like if someone comes up to you they see you and they want to talk about this

If someone's going through that, like they should get help. Blake Lively is not now the authority on TV. She played a character in a movie that doesn't like... That's not based on a true story. Yeah. Like what can... If you're going to Blake Lively for help, like you do need help. And I mean that in an earnest way. Not from Blake. That's not on Blake Lively. What kind of question is that? There's no right way to answer that question. I agree. I thought her...

was like sarcastic and a little rude. But I also feel like there's not enough onus put on the person who asked that question. We're going to now analyze this clip and everybody's analyzing Blake and no, she's totally being like a B word.

What the fuck kind of question is that? Like, that's a bad question. And I don't think people should just be going up and trauma dumping on one person. No, she's just an actress. You guys, she's not a fucking activist. She's not like a scholar. She's an actress in a movie. And we're mad that she's wearing pretty dresses. Like, where is that? And people are like, but look at Justin Baldoni.

And I'm telling you, I do not think Justin Baldoni, and by the way, Justin Baldoni has now hired Crisis PR. Yeah, I was going to get to that too. Which makes me think like something's coming. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know why. Like you don't hire Crisis PR because I'm so involved in this, right? And I'm taking the temperature and the temperature is positive for Justin Baldoni. If anyone would be hiring Crisis PR, it's Blake because she's the one who's seemingly responding, putting up Instagram links like, oh, you're not taking this seriously? Okay, here are my links. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's on the back

foot right now. She's on the defense, right? Yeah. And Justin Baldoni is kind of like basking in, there's been like, you know, weeks long video proof of him being serious about DV, right? He's winning if there is a competition.

So him hiring crisis PR makes me think like there's something about to come out about him. I don't know why, like why anyone would hire, you only hire crisis PR when things are really bad. It's not bad. Things are great for him either because the whole cast is against him. It's not just Blake. So like that automatically like is a red flag. Yeah. But also I think that the interviewer who asked that question, like with some, like, I don't think that many people are going to be going up to Blake, like looking to, um,

If they're going through something serious, they're not like running up to their local movie star, like looking for advice. They shouldn't. One, because like that's too much for one person to take on. Like she, if every person who sees this movie and feels compelled by it, which I'm sure is a lot of people who can draw on their own experiences and they want to dump that on. That's a lot for one person to take. Like you shouldn't do that. Like that's not her job. She's not a therapist. But I also don't think someone who's going through it like would take on.

do that right and for him to assume that they would like you think so little of women it's so true it was such a bad question it was actually an offensive question it's an offensive question answered offensively it's an offensive question to Blake and to the hypothetical woman that would do that so true

so true yeah and you know what maybe brendan sclinar was rolling his eyes at the dumb fucking questions they're forced to answer i think he was i didn't get to the part where he's rolling his eyes but i imagine he was rolling them based on the exchange got really dumb when like he didn't know when the interviewer then didn't know how to respond to like blake's sarcastic no he rolled his eyes like as blake was talking about her social security number and her address like it it's very like it seems like he's rolling his eyes at blake

Perhaps. Yeah, no, not the greatest look for her amid this torrent of backlash. But by the way, I think people are now looking. But if she wasn't in the middle of this storm, we would have never seen what was an Australian interview. Like she's doing a million interviews. People are now looking for. But they're also doing it with Justin too. Yeah. How did this press tour get so off the rails? He's not being interviewed as much as she is. Like, yes, he's a star and yes, he's the director. But like Blake Lively is Blake Lively. Like she, there are way, there's way more footage of,

of her well that's probably just a choice on his part then because any any show period would want to have him on he's in the big romance movie of the summer he's a star and director like no one's turning him down there's not as many clips there's like a couple of clips going around of justin balgione today show on the red carpet being asked like if he would direct the second movie there's like three or four ones going viral like

There's a thousand of Blake. And she's, I think, stopping to talk to everyone on the red carpet. Like, I think she's really proud of this movie. Yeah. I don't know. They can never make me hate her. And I wasn't even like a diehard fan. I didn't come into this biased. No, not at all. But I'm just not buying it when everybody's that's just so us too. Like when everybody's like choosing one side, we're like, well, what about the other side? Yeah. But this situation, it's a little bit of both because the whole cast is against Justin. Yeah. But we're with the cast. But like the.

Public is with Justin. So we're with Blake. I want to hear from Jenny Slate. I feel like she knows. Like I definitely think the younger actors might not know 100% like of what went on because they're new to the industry. They're young. They probably got kept out of a lot of the stuff. But I feel like Jenny Slate, like she's, you know, a successful woman in the industry. She's like old enough to be involved. And I just feel like she has an interesting take.

Yeah. I just, I don't think we're ever going to really know what happened, but now like what's happening is the story, like whatever happened on set was like a small thing and it was enough to be like, listen, I don't really like this person. Now I know. Great. Not a big deal. But the fact that like everyone figured it out, they're dissecting every interviewing clip. Like now this is the drama. Yeah. And this is probably like worse than whatever happened. Like, is this good for the sequel? Because in the sequel, like Lily hates Ryle. So they really won't have to act. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I think overall it's good for the movie. Everyone's talking about this movie. So true. I want to see it so badly. We will see it. Yeah. So I think it's good. Plus Deadpool. Yep. At the same time. Rising Tides. It's just crazy because Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have sort of been this like protected class of celebrity for so many years. Like just universally loved and adored. They put out like one Instagram and it's like 11 different news stories. And I've always been like,

what is the hype with these people? And now I'm like starting to like them and everybody hates them. That's so me. Yeah. But I like her now. I just never really stopped to like think about her. And now when I do, it was more so that interview. I don't know if it was Vogue or yeah, the Vogue one. She's on the cover of September issue. And it talked about like what a hardworking, working mom she is. And I never like stopped to realize like she has,

four kids. She did that all like in the prime of her career. She's like back to work immediately. She puts motherhood first. Like I think she's amazing role model. So whatever happened on set, like, I don't really care. Like, I just think this is a good woman. I agree. And I don't like love Ryan Reynolds like my husband does. Right. Last night we got home from our big fancy party.

What's our husbands doing? My husband is making Ben watch Deadpool. - Indoctrination, we walked in on indoctrination. - 'Cause they saw Deadpool 2 together in the movies. Ben really liked it, but he had never seen Deadpool 1. My husband who was the ambassador for Deadpool 1, then the wives are out. Oh, I'm gonna make you watch Deadpool 1. - Yeah. - Does everyone's husbands love Deadpool this much? - I think so. - Now that I've noticed it, Claudia, it's every three days he's watching Deadpool. - That's funny.

it's the crazy i had no idea he was such a fan he's in his deadpool era no it's been going on forever yeah i need to throw him a deadpool themed birthday party you do like he's obsessed oh my god we'll all wear like the deadpool costume they're like that like what blake lively wore to that screening that ugly red outfit we'll wear it i love that yeah

So that's the latest on it ends with us. It's getting like really nasty and polarizing. It is. When it all started kind of as like a funny, you know, no, we were like, it's everybody else noticing. That's like what it was. And now we're getting, now we're getting hate comments. People have ruined it by like making it seem like anybody who's not with Justin is like not supporting like survivors of domestic violence. Like,

That's not what this is. Seriously. No, it's true. Lighten up. It's a movie. No, and at the end of the day, I feel good in my stance. This is a story for women, by women. This is a book that was literally read by every woman in America. This is a book that touched... Even someone who has no experience with TV, who just loved this book. This was a celebration, seriously, of women. Colleen, who ever doing the most for women in literature. Like, honestly...

I'm going to side with the women. I'm siding with Colleen. I'm siding with Blake because I actually support women. How about that? No. And I think everybody's all women supporting women until there's a woman to support. Like, hello. Right. And I think that Blake, like TV is a big theme of the movie, but like she said, it's not the only thing about Lily and also making the press tour, like a girly swirly twirly affair, like does go to show like women like can do more and do all of these things. And we shouldn't like sacrifice our girlhood because someone else ruined it. So,

factual what you just fucking said thank you thesis of the the saga okay no but we should have a sad depressing a fucking movie press tour because some man couldn't control himself right

No, let's succumb to it. Let's succumb to the darkness and never do anything and never identify as anything other than a survivor and a victim. And that's what Blake Lively was saying. And I'm surprised that people took such umbrage with it. Nobody wants to be defined by the worst thing that's ever happened to them. They're in, well, like some people do want to like stay in their, in their victimhood. That's not healing. No, no. But like to be a survivor means to like come out of it and do other things. And it's always going to be a part of you, but it's not the whole of you. It's not the whole of you.

So this story ends with that for now today. If anything else happens, we shall let you know. Speaking of Blake Lively, her best friend tailored through a wrap party for the era's tour crew in London after canceling her Vienna shows over the foil terror plot.

So, Taylor Swift was seen out and about for the first time since her Vienna concerts were canceled. She tried to lift the spirits of ERA's tour staff members by throwing a wrap party in London on Monday night. She was spotted leaving the swanky members-only club Annabelle's in an outfit from Vivienne Westwood's new autumn-winter 2024-25 collection per pictures obtained by DuMois.

Yeah, there was a lot of like hate for this outfit. I loved it. I think she looks really cute. I'm like, it's quirky. It's different. It's so LA. I mean, it's so London. Like I loved it. It's just making me like a little sad because it's very fall. And we were talking about this yesterday. Like everyone has declared summer off.

over. Yeah. At the event, Rachel's always like, I'm so sad summer's over. I'm like, it's literally not. It's August 14th. Like we were halfway through the second month of summer. And like the actual season doesn't end until September 21st. Like why is everyone saying summer's over? No, swirly summer is just getting started. We're still in swirly summer. So like this outfit, I love it, but it's like, I would love it more in October when I'm rooting for you.

in my fall era. But now she's like ushering me along and I'm like, I just got my tennis dress collection all set. By the way, I am just now like realizing because I haven't thought about Taylor in a couple of days that she didn't respond to the Vienna cancellations. I'm sure people in the community are like finding umbrage with that. I'm letting her react to this in whatever way she wanted. And I feel like there was a time in her career where she was so worried about what people would think and so, you know, focused on like doing what she thought was perfect and right. And she would have crafted a statement and, and,

I feel like this is such a hard thing for a human being to have dealt with. And like, if she's choosing not to respond to like protect her own, whatever, like I'm all for that. But I do feel like there was a time where not responding would never have been not even like, you know, posting on Instagram for a canceled show would have never, you know, been an option for her. But now she's just at this point in her career, she doesn't give a fuck and she's putting herself first. Yeah. And I don't think it's like, I don't care so much, but I think at a certain point, what can she even say to like sum up the magnitude and the impact and

And I'm sure she's dealing with a lot. I see in some of these comments. And then when she gets like a ISIS target on her back, who the fuck wants that? I see in some of these comments, people are now mad that she's like partying. What about Vienna? No. But like still the people who worked on her show, the lighting, the casting crew, crafts

Deserved to be celebrated. Deserved their shine. I'm sure they had this party planned for a long time. And what, we're going to cancel the party because of the terrorists? They are going to win again. They already canceled the concerts. You don't cancel the party too. You don't. You have to party. The party must go on.

I have something to say and I know the people who had tickets in Vienna like aren't really not about my my take on this and I alluded to it last time and people like were sending me hate mail and like I feel it even stronger today like the crying and yes I say this is somebody who's been to three hours tours so like yes I'm on I'm coming from a place of privilege the crying over not being able to see Taylor and like really not even caring so much about the potential danger you could have been in and like the thousands of people who could have died like

People's priorities are so fucked up and like we can hold space for two things. No, actually right now we're not like, I'm going to focus on the fact that like, thank God thousands of young girls were not mowed down by terrorists. Like to me, that's all I care about your tickets. Like they mean nothing to me. Yeah. And I think like the fact that like, well, we can be sad about our tickets while also being sad about terrorism. They're not equal. Don't equal terrorism today. Equal things. You have to hold space for two things that are of equal weight.

No, they are not like people seriously. When one thing is so heavy, you can't hold, you need both hands. People have people. Yeah. Yeah. People's reactions to this have been so disappointing to me. Like me getting hate for being like, get over your tickets.

get over your tickets. Like, I think, um, Nikki Glaser was like on her way to Vienna. She's like Taylor's number one fan. And she has said like, she's spending all of her money, like till her last dying day on Taylor's tickets. And she was like on the layover when the show got canceled. And she ended up like still going to Vienna and like hanging out with like 50s and just like eating food and like enjoying, you know, this fabulous place. And, um,

I thought she had like a good healthy reaction to it but then you know she's been to a show like you'll go you will go you will see Taylor like it's the best thing on the planet yeah and people like it's more than just a concert it's just no no it's just a concert like it's amazing and it's amazing it's a concert and it's not worth your life girl like it's not worth your fucking life no it's not it's not worth your life and it's not worth someone else's either people's reaction because I guess the people who had tickets weren't at risk really because they would have been in the stadium and it was right no they were at risk too everyone was at risk so no but the

But the direct risk in the plan was to target people who didn't have tickets. But when they heard their show was canceled because of a terror plot, their first reaction being like, oh my God, my ticket, instead of, oh my God, thank God, is really like, how have we gotten here as a culture? Like, we need to work on it. We need to work on ourselves. Yeah. The Swifties have Swifted too hard. Too close to the sun. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Our third story. Mm-hmm.

Which is some Simone Biles news because Simone Biles, his birth mom, is begging Simone for forgiveness. She did a huge interview with the Daily Mail. Oh, I have an ick. Oh, this is giving Thomas Markle like the Daily Mail reaching out to somebody's like a strange parent. Oh, no, I have ick. Well, so Simone's birth mother, Shannon Biles, wants to reconnect and reconcile with the Olympic gymnast.

In a lengthy interview with the Daily Mail on Tuesday, she explained how her drug and alcohol abuse cost her her children. She recalled losing two of her three daughters, first to foster care and then to adoption by her dad and his wife. Then they brought Simone to live with them in Houston when Simone was six.

So she talks about her struggle with addiction, which led to significant financial and legal problems saying, quote, it took me six years before I saw my children again. I was respecting my dad to let the kids transition. He felt that was the best thing for them. So she describes like the years in which she wasn't with Simone while Simone was growing up and how her dad wouldn't let

her see the kids while she was like in and out of recovery and still struggling. But she says now that she has been clean since 2022, she's managed to stay out of trouble and now works as a cashier. She says that though she has Simone's direct number, she will not use it. She's hoping that Simone reaches out to her. She's 27 now. She's married. I would have liked to be a part

of that but I just have to wait. I think the mom was 27 I was like wait how? Simone's like she said Simone's 27 she's married you can't push anybody it hasn't happened yet but I have patience I'm waiting on her. Nothing she's saying is bad or raising red flags but the fact that she chose she's like I have her number and I won't use it but I'm gonna go to the Daily Mail yeah that gives me pause and it's a red flag and

I feel, you know, she was on Hoda right after when the Today Show was in Paris, right after she won like her final medal. And Hoda was like, fill in the blanks. Like, I wouldn't be here today without blank. Like, what is really brought you here? And she's like, I wouldn't be here today without adoption. Like, she's so grateful for the life that she had. I think she knows how lucky she is to have gone through foster care and come out on the other side with her sister, you know?

and she talked about it in her documentary and it's like this crazy thing. I feel like a lot of people don't know about her. I didn't know before I watched a documentary and like, it gave me chills to see somebody who had such a, you know, a rough start in life end up becoming like the greatest who ever lived. And,

And there has to be more to the story because if, you know, her mom was this like perfect person living, you know, nearby and just working and Simone would have, you know. No, that's not what it was. Of course. That's not even the story up until two years ago when now she's set her life on a better path. Right. So I can't even imagine like what that's like and I'm not going to, you know, pretend to know. Yeah. I mean, it's very complicated. I'm sure very difficult for Simone to.

I can't imagine how that feels, but I do think it's, you know, she won't text her these things, but to go to the Daily Mail, it's just like,

Why? You know, it's, it's horrible. And Simone like made a choice like early on that she said, like she calls technically her grandfather, dad and her grandfather's wife who wasn't the mother of Simone's mom. So it's just like by marriage. So she would have been like her step grandma biologically. She calls the mom and dad, like she has made this choice. And I think a lot of that has to do with the dad's decision to not let the mom see the kids for the first six years. And that was while probably a really hard choice, 100%.

hundred percent thing, the right thing to do, like give them a stable life after having been through this traumatic year. Um, so this is just tough. Like there's no right answer. And Simone, whatever choice like she made, and it sounds like she's made a choice. Like that's her choice and it's the right choice. Yeah. A hundred percent.

Are you ready for our next story? I thought you were going to say this mobile story that everyone was talking about. She bought an Hermes bag in Paris. She did? She like made a cup. Show me. Well, she didn't show us the bag. She just showed us like Instagram after she won her medal. It's like at Hermes and then an orange box. What that? I need to know what was in the bag. How big was the box? Big. It looked like a big. Are you sure it's a purse? It's a purse.

Yes, I think she wrote like she wrote something bad. She definitely did. She I just assumed but she's got a bag like a belt or a pair of loafers. Neither of the box was bigger than that. Oh, wow. And I just I need to talk like having drinks afterwards. And she obviously like got drunk with her sister like seven rings day. Her and her sister look exactly like and they like had champagne and bought bags. I saw that but I didn't see that they bought bags at Hermes. Like I hope that the Hermes sales people like opened up the fucking vault and weren't giving her whatever she want. Though I have heard it's easier to get them in Paris. Internationally.

And I hope she got like this most sickening bag. Yeah. She deserves it. Treat yourself. Like a gold bag. Totally. That's really cute. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah.

A little summer in the sun news because... Swirly summer has finally made the news? It's swirly summer for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez and the revolving door of their yacht has now welcomed Leonardo DiCaprio, Victoria Chiaretti, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom. Is Victoria Chiaretti the young thing he's working with? Yes, the current young thing. Okay.

So at the same time or yes, you know, I feel like they like host every week, like new people come. Okay. Let me say rich people love to do this thing where they invite influential, cool, successful people that they know from different walks of life. And they have like salons where they're like, let's have interesting conversations. Like I've been weirdly invited to like a couple of them as like the young influencer. And like, it's literally so fun. Can't get invited to them enough. And like,

I could see Jeff Bezos being like, you know, inviting, you know, people from politics, people from Hollywood, people from tech and being like, let's have a conversation. Yeah. I think Lauren is probably friends with Casey.

with Katie. Also, I saw that, you know, she pilots helicopters. She like has her pilot's license. Who? Lauren Sanchez. So she picked up Katie. No, she like took Orlando and Katie like on her helicopter. I think they like jumped out of the helicopter. Okay. So like that is how like very rich people die because it happens all the time. I think it happened with one of the Kennedys. Like they think they can do anything because they're so rich and they like learn to fly. And before they're ready, they just like take off and kill everyone in the plane. Like I, that's like a rich person trope. I'm personally not a fan of.

Okay, that's fair. I thought it was cool. Like, every time, by the way, no, Amelia Earhart up there. By the way, let's not talk about Amelia Earhart. Amelia Nicole Sanchez. Because Amelia Earhart, like, while she was, like, amazing for women, she's, like, kind of famous for failing. And she literally crashed. So thank you for proving my point. I feel like this happens all the time. You hear about, like, in South Carolina, like, you know, small two-person plane crashes. Like, thank God everyone survives. You always see videos, like, plane crashes on the beach. Yeah.

And it's like a plane owned by like a rich person who wanted to learn how to fly. And it's like one of those planes with like a propeller and they're like learning to fly on it. And they like go and kill people. Like seriously, stop. Why don't you leave the flying up to the pilots? I know. I don't get why that is like, okay, I've made all this money. I've accomplished these things in life. Like now I need to fly a plane. There is a certain. It's very Prince Philip. Yes, yes.

But he was at least like in the army. So you learn how to really fly. But there is like a monetary value. I'm not sure what it is. But like once your bank account hits it, like the bank pulls you aside and they sign you up for pilot lessons. Like I don't know what it is. And it's really mostly men. But look, love to see Lauren like becoming a rich man. It's so weird. I don't like it. Yeah, I don't like it either. But I actually think that her... Can you start a list? I think that her...

pilot interest like predates her relationship with Jeff and her billionaire might have helped them connect because you know, he's really into flight as well. What's this list called? Celebrities who fly? No. Rich people tropes that Turdy dislikes. I'll just do rich people tropes and that it can include both. I'll do likes and dislikes. Okay. So I only have like dislikes shockingly dislikes. Obviously. No, you like the salon. Oh, okay. You just said. Okay. So dislikes. Interesting people salon. That's likes.

Dislikes is like randomly becoming pilots for no reason. And two, like when they cosplay being poor. So like, I don't want to say like not ballerina farm, but like when they get a trailer. No, not like that. Who was living in a trailer recently? Or like, I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings. Like that whole shtick, like Taylor Swift, you could buy probably the nicest ring anybody could buy. We did a story. Someone like,

move to the trailer. Oh, no, no, no. It was an RV. Taylor and Travis vacationed in Bon Jovi or Lenny Kravitz's. He has this famous RV that he takes to the Bahamas. I don't fucking know. And it's like, well, you're Lenny Kravitz. Why don't you buy a mansion instead of an RV?

A mobile home. Yeah. Yeah. Cosplay rich people who cosplays poor. Tori Spelling was in an RV recently, right? Yeah. But we weren't sure if her cosplaying poor or just being poor. I know. But then we were listening to that playlist of songs from the nineties and, um,

I wish that I was like Tori Spelling. Yeah, we forget. With a car like hers and a dad like hers. You forget. Like she was literally in a song. She was that bitch. And then she was also on that show that like shifted a culture, 90210, and she was like the coolest one. We, I came to the Tori Spelling consciousness when she was like a, you know, a failed reality star who was fighting with her husband for money. And now like a podcaster.

right i didn't know spelling money like must still be around no but it's very yeah so it was very contentious because of candy spelling and i think they like cut her out cut out tori i think that's what's so like so i don't think she's cosplaying poor i think she actually just might be poor why did they cut her out it was i remember when we were growing up it was on the cover of every tabloid magazine it was like jen and ben uh aniston and pit and then tori spelling in the money candy

Imagine being named Candy. No. And in 2023, an insider claimed Candy Spelling found a house for Tori and her grandchildren, but Tori refused to move in. Following backlash for allegedly ignoring her daughter's financial problems and unstable home situation, a source claimed that she actually did try to help. Right. Candy spent hours on the phone trying to find a house. However, Tori declined to move in because she wanted to live in a certain place.

Well, I think all the money went to Candy and Candy and Tori do not have a good relationship. It's like, that's a documentary I can really use. Yeah. Especially if you're just hearing that song. Cause I wasn't interested until I was like, wait, this girl was in like the biggest song. What did Aaron Spelling do?

create like what's it? That's what like, and he was, and all of our favorite W no, like every show that we watched growing up, it said created by Aaron Spelling. And he was like a, the biggest show runner. He was the biggest show runner at a time where like TV, when you had a show that took off like syndication, Seinfeld money, like it was, it was hundreds of millions. Now, if you have a successful show, it's like Charlie's angels. Oh wow. Yeah. Yeah.

No, he's major. Look up his net worth. Someone, well, he's deceased. No, but like what was his estate worth? Worth at death. Someone already looked it up. $500 million. Right. And then someone bought his house recently. House. Who bought it? What happened to his mansion? Yeah. And I feel like they had a reality show. Yeah. That the house was on. Oh, it was listed, but I'm not seeing who bought it. Yeah. What was the story?

Jeff, rich people. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so let's get back to the story. So this week he brought out Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom and Leo and his new lady love. They went out for lunch like on shore, came back to the boat and we're having a good old time. It sounds so fun. Like I'm dying to go. Please invite me. Yeah. And I'm not desperate. And they've been out there like all summer. They're having a swirly summer. They are having a swirly summer. They've probably extended. They were having such a good time. Like, you know what? Let's extend. Yeah. Yeah.

I love that. Where's the boat currently? In Sardinia, Italy. Please invite me. Yeah. Well, good times. GT. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I am. Bowen Yang says the worst host on SNL made multiple cast members cry. So SNL, sorry, Bowen Yang, who's on SNL, did a game of truth or kink on Watch What Happens Live on Monday. And Andy Cohen asked him to share the worst behavior he has ever witnessed without disclosing the host's name. Yeah, spoiler alert. We don't know who it is.

But he said this man, this person, this host made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the table read because he hated the ideas. Terrible. He didn't tell us who it is, but he did give us a little bit of a clue. Because why everybody got so upset was because he didn't like their ideas. And that means this is someone in comedy that people really respect. Yeah.

like if, cause I'm thinking, you know, I feel like Bowen Yang has spoken that he didn't like love working with Elon Musk. If Elon Musk said, I don't like this comedy idea. He'd be like, okay, go build a spaceship. Like, yeah, it's not offensive. I feel like it's like a Dave Chappelle, like someone who you want their approval of when it comes to comedy. Yeah. I kind of want to go look at all the old hosts, like from the last like two years to see, I feel like if we look at names, like we could maybe sense. Yeah. And who's like, you know,

Like a Chris Rock or an Adam Sandler, like kind of SNL famed people. I feel like recently there was like a couple of people who were like very serious and you could feel like they didn't like it. I also don't watch that much. So like I'm not able to really get a read, you know. List of Saturday Night Live guests, but like I don't need from the seven. Start from the beginning, right? There's like 45 seasons. Yeah. Well, what's the most recent season?

Like 41 or 40. Didn't they just have their SNL 40 party? There are 49 seasons. Yeah. SNL 49. I guess I'm going to the master list. Okay. Kristen wig. You're by the way here. I have it. I have it. Okay. Pete Davidson. Definitely not. No. Bad bunny. Definitely not. Nate Bargatze. No. Timothee Chalamet. No. Jason Momoa. No. Emma Stone. No. Adam Driver. No.

No. Kate McKinnon. No. Jacob Elordi. And he said him, right? Oh, did he? Yeah, this man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No to Jacob Elordi. A-0, no. Shane Gillis?

No, I don't think so. Okay. I don't think he like came back for his redemption and made everyone cry. Sydney Sweeney. No, Josh Brolin. No. Rami Yusuf. No. Kristen Wiig. No. Ryan Gosling. No. No. Dula Peep. No. Maya Rudolph. No. Jake Gyllenhaal.

No. But I can't see him being mean, but I can't see people caring. Yeah. That was it. I think he would just want to get along. That was this season. What about the prior season? Oh, did they say last two years? They didn't say, but Bowen's been like, he didn't say this season. Right. Okay. SNL 48 hosts. Of all time. Miles Teller. No. Brendan Gleeson. Or like Kanye. Meg Thee Stallion. Yeah, maybe. Jack Harlow. If he doesn't tell us like what year, it's really not...

I think it was like someone like either like Kanye or someone like a serious actor that like is scary. The problem is it's like, well, the stuff is not funny. So then what do you do? Right. Right. No, but like what's worse than like having an idea that you think is funny and good and like seriously, like in front of a room full of like your peers. Like I could never. I could never. But seriously, you're so vulnerable when you're sharing your ideas. So for that, like I guess as an L writers are like really the bravest of us. Right. But the thing is that no one tells them they're bad and then they do go and do them.

Now, I want to ask you a question. I have submitted a story and it's the second day in a row where like you literally I'm like, oh, this is it. This is it. Because like I don't really pay attention to my text. I didn't text you. Yeah. I see. Like we never really. No, no. We literally decided we were choosing it. No, we did not decide that. No, no. We did. Like you were like, OK. Yeah. No, you literally agreed. That's not how I remember it going down. But I guess we'll talk about it tomorrow. OK.

I think if I just I just want to make a note like second day in a row you ignoring me this was a different case of that yesterday I genuinely forgot today I thought her outcome was different and if it's still big news tomorrow happy to talk about it yeah I just want to say noted great was she silent great go get your notebook yeah noted no I don't need to I just I made a record of it right now noted go get your notebook out thank you I'll get my composition notebook

Noted. Now, today is fabulous because we're here and alive, but it's also fabulous because it's Wednesday, which means it's Dear Toasters Day. And, you know, Dear Toasters, it's kind of a big day.

It's kind of a big deal. Everyone wants in on it. Everybody wants to swirl his advice. What do the swirls think about this? Not only that. What do the swirls think about that? State Farm was like, listen, we know Deer Toasters is kind of beloved by everyone except for Jackie. No, they know that Jackie loves it so much. And they want in on it. So State Farm is kind of the lead sponsor of Deer Toasters. Which is great because I love farming. And it's giving to your farmer. And I'm your local farmer. And...

Jackie and I are adults, right? I think we can unfortunately agree to that. And it says this in the copy, State Farm must have got this wrong and said, as our toasters know, I just turned 30, which I don't know why they would write that. Yeah, that's weird. They were trying to hurt me. Jax and I, and they're reading this. I didn't say this. I guess like when they're paying, like they can make you say anything. Jax and I are loving being at this amazing stage of life. In our 30s. We really are though, where we get to experience huge milestones of adulthood right along with our listeners, right along with each other.

So milestones like having kids, starting businesses, making a first big adult purchase, like buying a house or a car are major. And as we've said before, when you get a new car, a new home, it's the first thing you might find yourself saying like how, how look at me, go me. But the first thing you should be saying is like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.

So State Farm is there with the coverage that you need for your car, for your home, even boats, motorcycles, RVs, other things. You know, you can categorize it under things in which that matter to you. With the State Farm agent, you know someone is there to help you choose the coverage you need. With so many coverage options, it feels good knowing you can find what fits for you. And when you need ways to get help, State Farm gives you options there too. In person or on the phone with your local agent or on statefarm.com with their award-winning app, State Farm lets you do things your way.

That's what's so great about State Farm, whether you're a Jax or a Claude. You know, you live the fast life, high pace, you know, texting things, you know, always on the go on your phone. You could chat with a State Farm agent via their mobile app, via their website, you know, living the high life. Perhaps you're more Ballerina Farm Jax coded, slower. Like a conversation with a friend. You can talk to your agent on the phone or you can talk to your agent IRL, which is so analog, but that's very Jax. Yeah. So in honor of being a good neighbor. I create human connection. Talk more about that. Why? Why?

Because things get lost in translation, Turdy. They do. It's so hard. There's nothing like a face-to-face. I disagree. There's a lot of things like a face-to-face, like perhaps talking to your State Farm agent on their mobile app. Great. And that's why State Farm works for all of us. Right. It's extremely inclusive. So in honor of being a good neighbor, Jax and I are going to take a second to compliment each other on one thing that they're absolutely crushing it in terms of adulthood, because just like a State Farm agent, we're here for each other. Okay. Compliment me.

Come on, you okay? What am I doing? Like, well, in my adult life. What are you doing? I'll say this. Wow, I didn't even have to think and you do. You are, and this is a surprise to nobody, like an amazing mom, really crushing it on all fronts, firing on all cylinders constantly. That is so, so wonderful. Thank you. You are an amazing auntie. Really. It's true. Just,

such a every day where's codgers codgers sleeping what's codgers doing in codgers room and just uh everything you could want in your little one's ante so there you have it just another day of jacks and i being good neighbors to each other in this crazy world of adulthood and remember when you're hitting those larger adulthood milestones like buying a new home or car you need help protecting the things that matter most so remember to say like a good neighbor state farm is there okay ready for two toasters

Our weekly advice segment. If you ever want to write in to us, you know, you need advice from the Swerleys, email us, deartoasters at gmail.com or head over to our website, thetoastpodcast.com. Scroll down. There's a little submission box. Both submission ways are completely anonymous, so don't worry about that. Dear Toasters, can you help me with a major situation between me and my boyfriend? We are taking the next step and moving in together next month. And while discussing the layout of our new apartment, he suggested that we downgrade to a twin XL bed.

His reasoning is that we can develop a closer connection while we sleep. He also said that he read somewhere that this helps couples grow intimately. He also brought up the nostalgia card while we were freshmen in college. We used to share a twin XL bed. I reminded him that we were teenagers back then and now we are fully grown adults with better sleeping arrangements. We're big girls now. In our separate apartments, we both have queen beds, so it's not like we don't have a bed to sleep on. I'm just so confused by this request. Like, I'm actually baffled by it. I used to think he

was joking but he is really persistent and even sends me twin XL beds that we can buy the final straw came yesterday when we were went to the apartment to get measurements he did point out how much more room in the bedroom there would be if we went with a twin XL bed I'm wondering if I should even move in with him at all he just won't drop it and I almost have had enough what do I do by the way that's this to me

I know we try, we say every time, like, you know, we can't think of any, every red flag is like so crazy. Cause my advice always ends up being break up with your boyfriend. Seriously. Your boyfriend's a crazy person. Like who on earth would suggest a twin XL bed? No, it makes no sense. Plus you have two Queens. You can make it about money. Like you don't want to buy another bed.

The idea of like being intimate while you sleep is like nice for five minutes, but then like we can cuddle and we can go our separate ways. That can happen in a twin XL. Like sometimes you don't want to cuddle. Like it's just, I understand what he's saying. Like it will force you to be close all the time, but we shouldn't be close all the time. We should do nothing all the time. We need to have options, especially when we sleep. No, no, no.

I can't even like get into the mindset of somebody who would suggest this. And when I said we should do nothing all the time, I mean there is nothing that we should be doing at all times. Yeah, yeah. No, and moving in with someone is amazing, right? Like it's a huge step in a relationship. But people don't talk enough about how like if you're used to having a lot of time alone and then you're never alone, like that's a shift. And having like, I don't know, your corner of the bed, like we can't even have that now. He kind of sounds like a nightmare and you absolutely need to end up this in the bud. Like this is not normal. Two adults sleeping in a bed at...

The smallest bed that is acceptable for two grown adults to sleep in is a full. No, I feel like he heard this on like some podcast that like gives, I know I don't want to like denigrate humor by saying this was one of his theories because honestly I don't think it was, but I feel like it's a podcast that like attempts to give relationship advice in like quirky out of the box ways. And I'm just letting you know, like they made this up out of their butt, whatever study he showed you that it like makes it better. Find a study that it makes it worse.

And that's the amazing thing about studies. You heard on your podcast that it will make you fucking hate each other. That's the amazing thing about studies. You can always conveniently find a study that supports your thesis. Like these studies that are always released, like, you know, having steak will make you redhead. Like they seriously make stuff up. It's amazing. They literally once did a study where they said that, that lucky charms are healthier than steak.

And they actually did. They put that on the food pyramid. So if they can say that, they can say anything. You guys should go to a hotel for a weekend, stay in a king bed. And all of a sudden your queen beds will feel really small. Love that perspective. Yeah. No, this obviously cannot stand. Nip it in the bud.

nip it in the bud. And like, it's just not going to happen. So the movers will be bringing your queen bed even if you have to hire your own movers. You need to take control of the move now and coordinate with the company. Even if he buys a twin bed and puts it in your room so then you'll bring the queen into the room and then you'll say, you know what? I feel like we'd have a lot more room if we got rid of the twin. No, no. He brings a twin bed. Buy another one. I guess we're sleeping in separate beds. You really wanted the dorm life? Right. Let's get a roommate

get a roommate. Nostalgia. Let's get a roommate. Nostalgia. Oh my God. Sicko. Yeah. All right. Next up. Hey, Swerleys. I'm a mom of a toaster and I need some help. Important context. I'm really introverted. I work all day long talking to people. So it's really draining for me. I've gone to the same hairstylist that I love for 10 years. My appointments are about two hours every month. Typically I spend about 30 minutes of this appointment chatting, catching up while he's working on my hair and the rest of the time he spends doing business in other parts of the salon and I'm waiting for my color to set. Just

Just last week, he moved to a new space. It's an eight by eight space all by himself. He's no longer in a salon. The problem now is that he has nowhere to go while my color is setting. He's super chatty, wants to talk the entire time. He's so nice. He does a great job with my hair, but I cannot talk to him for this long every single month. I tried looking at my phone, but he just kept talking. What do I do? Do I go sit in my car while my hair color sets? Do I tell him any quiet time? Do I find a new hairstylist? Please help.

Well, I feel like you're right to like want to take these two hours per month for yourself. And if going to this new studio is not a pleasant experience, then like you don't go there anymore. You could try one more time and maybe like put AirPods in and listen, say, oh, I have to listen to something. Just like make sure to shut, make like make clear that the conversation is over now. I'm listening to this, the toast. And.

and see what happens. But I do think like, if you like the salon that you were at, you were in a good flow. Like it's not the craziest thing to just stay there and get a new colorist. Yeah. This is really tough. Like what's more important to you, those two hours of peace or the exact way that he's doing your hair? Can someone else do it? I am not an introvert at all, but like this to me sounds like a nightmare too. It's not even so much about being introverted. It's just about like, God,

God, can I get a fucking moment of peace? And Jackie's right. Like you have to weigh what's more important to you. But also like I'm of the mind where it's like, I don't want this person to talk to me. Right. But now that we're in this enclosed space, like I would feel weird about not talking. So it's like, what's worse? Like feeling awkward for the 90 minutes.

or talking for the 90 minutes. Like to me, they're both horrible. I think you need to go to a new salon. Like seriously. And it sounds like you liked your routine of going to the salon. Like it's not just about getting your hair cut and colored. It's also about like those two hours of swirly time for you. And if you want to do it in the salon with other people and you know, drinks and this and that, then you should do that because it's like your time. Yeah.

Yeah, but breaking up with a hairstylist is also really awkward. And if you like found out that you like go back to the salon that like you guys met at, it's tough. It's tough. Why? I feel like when hairstylists break out on their own, like it's hard to convince their clientele to come with them. Like it's not a given. No, no, no, it's not. But she went. So like she went. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's the hard part. It's like you staying would have been completely acceptable. Yeah. But you took the jump and now like you're in the water. Yeah. But...

There's nothing like a ghost situation really can't fix. I feel like people in the comments might be able to help you because this just sounds like an eternal issue. And I feel like we have a lot of listeners who are hairstylists and like, how do you know when it's time to talk when it's time to be quiet? Yeah. For me, I feel like we get our hair done with mahogany and she has her own salon. And I feel like she really lets the person in the chair lead. And I'm so chatty and I like her and think she's interesting and she does like a lot of cool people's hair. So I'm always like, what's going on? And also we just get haircut and blow dry. So when you don't have to sit in...

Like, either the blow dryer's on and we can't speak, and then when it's off, there's not that much talking time. - And she does all of our hair, so she's always asking about the other sisters. We're in a unique situation because we also don't color our hair. - And also, we get our hair cut twice a year, you get your hair done once a month. - Every month. That's the thing, when you color your hair, and that's why I think people have really strong, important relationships with their hairstylist, more so than people who get the quarterly cut. - Yeah. - You know? - Yeah. - Every month, that's tough. - Yeah. - That's tough. All right, third and final Dear Toasters.

Hey, Swirlies. I recently decided to get a financial planner to help me and my husband book our retirement, manage our investments, yada, yada, yada. It was my idea, but my husband took over the execution because his job is less demanding, he has more free time, and he's good at getting things done. We started using a guy one of his family members uses. We really like him. We met him together, filled out the paperwork together, told him our goals. And ever since the initial call and the transfers of our money, this guy only contacts my husband.

He calls my husband, emails him updates. And I told my husband that it really bothers me. And my husband totally agreed, started CCing me in his responses, even has said, please include my wife in all your email updates. However, this guy continues to only contact my husband. In the most recent email, he asked my husband if some recent investments were okay and then proceeded to say, send my hello to your wife.

Is it just me or is this incredibly demeaning? This guy does well for us. He comes highly recommended, but it's really starting to annoy me. I also don't want to make the guy who handles my literal future angry. Please help. Do I say something? Do I look for someone else? Do I do nothing? Am I being dramatic? Not that this should matter because he should include me no matter what, but I also make more money than my husband. So more of the money we transfer to him...

is for my paycheck. Yeah. So unacceptable. This guy is not working for you. Like it's not working out because if he doesn't understand, like one, it's your money, you're at the actual boss and he's talking to someone that's not the, your assistant. Like he's not, it's just not working out. There are plenty of other people. I would not be sending your money to someone who doesn't even consider you when you work hard for your money. Like it's, it didn't work out. It's time to find a new planner. Plenty of people can probably do what he's doing. Um,

I would, and it just doesn't speak to like a good character that he can't find it in himself to include you on the emails when it's mostly your money. Like,

It's not okay at any level whether or not you're just a stay-at-home mom. Even if you weren't the primary earner, this is so demeaning. It's so rude. And it's also like, oh, you don't understand instruction then. How can you be good at other areas of your job if you don't understand that you need to include this person on an email? You must be fucking up elsewhere. I agree. This is a red flag to the point where it's a fireable offense. And if you're doing it as like, oh, no, I understood. I'm just subverting you because I don't think that women should be on these emails. Well, then you certainly have to go.

You know, Jackie and I just had an experience with this and we can speak to this because like we're women who own our own business. We do well. We're earners in our families. And when we were booking our house for the Hamptons, the previous house, not this one, we took charge, obviously. Like if we made it for our husbands to book a house, like we never would have made it out to the Hamptons for Swirly Summer. There would be no Swirly Summer. And we found it fun. Like we were excited to take it. We didn't take it on like begrudgingly. We were like, no, don't get out. Ben was trying to help. I'm like, get the hell out. Yeah.

And when once we found the house, we were contacting with the previous landlord and he was like, who's going to be on the lease? And Jackie was like busy that day. So I was like, I'll do it. It literally doesn't matter. Like we're all paying for the house. Like we're all contributing. But like whoever's name is on the paperwork means nothing. It's not like, you know, something happens. You're going to run away. Yeah. And I was like, OK, just me. Like, here's my information, name, address, email. And he was like, will anyone else be on the lease? I'm like, no.

No, I think you were like, Jackie. Yeah, yeah, my sister. No, no. I said no. He's like, okay. So then he calls and he's like, actually he had his agent call and was like, you know, he's feeling uncomfortable about it just being you. Like he wants someone else. And I knew what that subtext was. It was like, he wants your husband on. Yeah. So of course I said, sure. Here's my sister. I'm like, oh, you don't want one woman? Here's two. Yeah. And they both shut up. Like, and we literally had like the same name, same address, same everything. And I was like, same person for like the money. I was like, yeah, no,

you want to hear these two big women. And I was so offended. Like, seriously, I was like, I don't even, I don't even want to rent this house, but it was so hard to find a house. I just shut up. Um, so I understand it's so unacceptable. It's so rude. Jackie's 100%. Right. And you know, I hate to like, you know, cancel a good thing, you know, give him an opportunity, say like, whatever you said you did. And not only that, well, your husband said it, if you had said like, listen, this isn't working out because you like refuse to include me as like a

even think of me but she's right like this is a person who has access to all of your money you don't want to make them angry in the slightest you gotta go there are a lot of financial planners business managers who do a great job good for you for making more than your husband good for you for getting to a place where you like have investments it's not working out it's not a fit that happens the odds that the first person you go to for anything is going to work out completely is very slim so it's totally fine that it didn't on the easy

he's either intentionally shutting you out because he's like small minded and has some regressive idea of how the world works, even though it's your fucking money, or he cannot follow a simple instruction, which does not bode well for his acumen. Both bad potential scenarios that you got to get yourself out of. I don't know which one's worse. Honestly, you just love to see a woman in business thriving though. Good for you. Good, good for you. You work too hard to deal with this disrespect slash and or incompetence. Got them.
