How Flaa Sees It: Wednesday, October 9th, 2024
01:09:50 Share

Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Wednesday. It is hump day! We're getting over the hump in the middle of the week. We're feeling good. We're feeling accomplished. We're rising and grinding. Hey, Jax. How you doing? I'm darn good. It is a hump day. Alas, it is. How are you doing? Kind of...

Hunkering down. So right now is the calm before the storm. We actually woke up and the day was pretty pargy. But the storm, the hurricane is set to hit the west coast of Florida around 1 a.m. this evening. So it's going to be a long night. I feel like tomorrow we'll know more about what will be. So yeah, just sitting tight, stocking up. Hopefully you just like sleep through it. Hopefully. But I don't know. I think it's kind of worse to have it in the middle of the night because like

You can't sleep. It's also dark. Like if you're actually in actual danger, the darkness just like hurts your cause. Yeah. But like it's, it will be hard to sleep. It's going to be so loud, but who could even sleep at a time like this? You know, it's so interesting. This photo is going viral. I don't know if you've seen it, uh, the international space station. They took a picture of the actual hurricane from there. They're above it. At a glance. Um, and it's like this huge, it looks like a cloud and like, you're telling me there's nothing they could do. Like they're up there. Like, just like, I don't know, like take a vacuum and like, it looked like smoke. Like just, I don't know.

Well, there are a lot of theories that the weather can be changed. Excuse me? I think it's called cloud seeding. I never heard of that. How do they change it? I don't know. I've not really looked into it, but I've been seeing stuff like that it's possible to change the weather for better or for worse. Blame it on the weatherman. That was such a good song. They were so right for that too. Not today. The weathermen are doing their jobs, but generally speaking on the day to day.

- They can't be trusted. - No, no, you literally can't predict the weather.

Stop trying. Literally. I just thought that was so interesting. Like they saw it. It's like, you know, you were afraid of this thing that's heading towards earth and like, you see it, like just grab it, you know? Yeah. It's a good theory. Did anyone else have that thought? No, I didn't. I thought it was really crazy that you could see it. Yeah. And they're showing a lot of comparisons. Of course, like in our lifetime, what is like the greatest hurricane? It's Katrina. And this one looks like on par, possibly bigger than Katrina, which is so scary. Yeah.

Yeah. So I hope everyone is evacuating, praying for a miracle and we'll see. Just yeah, really crazy. I've never been this anxious for a storm, but also as they say, this is like a once in a century sort of weather event. So everyone's really on edge. Now shifting gears a little bit. I want to talk about something that I did last night.

Okay. That's what we're here to do. I watched This is the Voice. I don't know what compelled me. It was just like on. I was feeling cable because Ben and I were watching cable. We were watching the Mets game. The Mets won. Go Mets. Meet the Mets. Did you meet the Mets? I didn't. Not today. I have, but I didn't. Right. I know. And they won, which is so fabulous. And.

And so we were just like on the YouTube TV app and I don't know, I just didn't feel like changing it. So I said, what else does cable? - Okay, you don't have to explain your choices. - Yeah, it's just definitely weird of me 'cause I'm like so modern, I'm like really cutting edge and they're like, what are you doing watching cable, girly? Well, you know, I took a trip down memory lane and I was just like, what else does cable have to offer? And The Voice was on. And every time I watched The Voice, which is not a lot, like I always enjoy it, especially the blind auditions.

I think once after that, the show kind of loses its edge for me. Like, the turning of the chairs is the best part. And I had forgotten they really shook up the judges. So right now it's Reba returns, Gwen Stefani returns, and new judges Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé. Now, I didn't know what to expect. And lo and behold, I tuned in in the middle, and the first audition I see is this young, handsome guy who, like, Michael Bublé has to be his idol.

He did Frank Sinatra. He had this really low, deep voice. He was incredible. And you know me, I'm such a harsh critic. I was seriously like, I was making fun of everyone last night. Sorry, people were stinking it up. I have no notes. This guy was amazing, Jackie. So we're watching and like everyone turns around and like Michael Buble's the last one and he doesn't turn around. And I'm like- Jealous. Yes, yes.

So I say, me and Ben are like, wait, that's really weird. Like this guy was obviously put on the show for Michael Buble. Like they have people who are so obviously. He would like be dying to be team boob. And then it got me thinking, because then I, that was the first thing I saw. And then I watched the rest of the episode, like with this, you know, critical eye of Michael Buble. And I came to the,

Oh, as if you were, you came in so unbiased. Him not turning around for that guy was like seriously disgraceful. And his reasoning was like, you know, I don't want to, you know, I want to have, you know, a lot of different artists like in different lanes. Like I don't want to just do one lane. Of course, but you get like a team of 20 people. So choose this guy. Like it was so obvious that like this younger, honestly more talented guy, like he was threatened. He was literally threatened. And then it really got me thinking about his place on the show because Michael Buble is like really not famous enough to be in that chair.

When you think about the people who they, like Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, like. I disagree with you because you're naming the biggest ones when you think about Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, Michael Buble. They're both bigger than Michael Buble.

I don't think so. And Michael Bublé is so talented. Like, his voice, I know you can't listen to him anymore, and I'm not even a Bublé stan, but, like, I just have to, like, Of course she's over here defending Michael Bublé. I have to take up the cause. Like, he's not out of place there. No, he's completely out of place. You can tell he feels so threatened, especially because, yeah, Gwen Stefani, but, like, Reba and Snoop Dogg, they're, like, the biggest stars in the world, and he is so corny, Michael Bublé. Jackie, he's literally, like, he does not stop trying to make jokes. Yes.

And he does these like awkward bits. And he's just trying so hard. Like shut up. Oh my God. He's bothering me so much. And I admit like I am completely biased. I think there are two types of people in this world. Like people who see the truth about Michael Bublé. And people who are still like having the veil you know cover their eyes. Like he is so toxic. Like I just know it. And the fact that he didn't turn around for that Frank Sinatra looking type of guy. Like classic. Classic stuff. And he's just oh my God. He makes the show so unenjoyable. His little bits like behind the scenes with the other judges. Like stop.

So not they eat that stuff up. No, no, no, no. Because I eat that stuff up. Like I love that shit. Oh yes I do. They did so many, especially with Reba and Snoop Dogg. Like I was living for it. And then it got me on like a Snoop Dogg kick. I know everyone's like obsessed with Snoop Dogg, but me and Ben were really surprised. Cause I think like if you're a real vocalist, you might not choose Snoop Dogg like that. He's really known for like branding and obviously like really good music making, but not vocals. So, um, I was like, Oh, no one's going to choose him. And, um,

He was giving like to the contestants before they even chose like such good advice. He was so sweet. And he was like wanting to meet people's families. He adds like really good entertainment value to the show. Like he's fucking hysterical. Me and Ben were dying. But he's such a sweetie. Like he really was giving like dad energy. And it made me like really like him so much. And then I just went on a spiral because I'm like, does Snoop Dogg have a girlfriend? Or like I was just wondering about his personal life. And do you know what I discovered? And I feel like this doesn't get talked about enough. What? He's been married forever? To his high school sweetheart. Oh.

Still married. Do they have kids? Yeah. How many? Okay, I don't remember like exactly that. But that's beautiful. No, I know. And it was just like, why is Snoop Dogg like not getting the PJOM treatment? He's getting the PJOM treatment, but I just feel like we don't even have all the pertinent information. Four children. Four kids. Cordell, Corey, Julian, and Cordy. Cute names. What happened with Julian's name? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they like got over the whole like sea. Then they went back. He's either like the first or the fourth.

You know? But you just read them, were they not in birth order? No, I just like went some random order from Google. Oh, okay. Oh, Gemini. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gemini got you down. Gemini shrinks again. So it was kind of an eye-opening experience for me. Like obviously Reba, we knew, and Gwen Stefani, even though like I don't really like

Fuck with her. She's a good coach. Like she's funny. She likes to play games with everyone. To a certain person, like some people love her. Like they're her dream coach. It's really crazy. So it's a really good season without Michael Bublé. I am seriously like on the warpath. I hate this man. Like this is an official Michael Bublé hate podcast.

It already was. Oh, and by the way. Ever since 2020. Then in my DMs, people were like, wait, why? I love Michael Bublé. And I'm like, oh, they obviously haven't seen the video. And by the way, and that's why he's on the show. Like he has such a big. There was like four people. No, but he has such a big audience, like a core audience of like women, I think older women. And he hits that bucket. He just does. So I was like, oh, they obviously haven't seen the video of Michael Bublé and his wife.

And I went to go find it. Jackie, it has been scrubbed from the internet. I could not find it. I searched everywhere. If you can find that video. I need to see it again because I feel like the power of it is waning for me. No, no, no, it's not. And I need to be like re-upped. The video, the only thing I could find. I need my booster. The only thing I could find was that they had made like a response video.

Yeah. She was like speaking in Spanish being like you know thank you guys for looking out for stuff like that it's so important but like that's not what's going on here. And he's like hovering in the back like seriously pinching her like he's so crazy. If you don't know what I'm talking about and you there's no way you don't because this is you can add it to my list of favorite stories anytime Michael Bublé comes up. Him and his wife they have like a lot of like Instagram followers and they do like Instagram lives and shit and

And especially in 2020, that was the thing to do. There was like two instances because one I did find, but that's not the one. The one video was like, he doesn't know that they're live yet. And he like literally like, like physically like grabs and shoves her. And it's like, oh, excuse me. And he doesn't know they're live. And then they know it. Oh, hey, welcome. Like serial killer vibes. And then there was another one where she goes to hang up the live and he thinks that she's done, but she's not. And he's like, I'm going to kill you. Now you can say that to your spouse. I'm going to kill you, you know?

When there already is evidence, I'm like, yeah, no. He's like, I'm literally, he said it twice before she hung up the live.

- Oh my God. - No, this man is no bueno. I'm telling you, he has such an ick vibe. Once you see it, 'cause before I saw that video, I like seriously wouldn't give two shits. I actually went to a Michael Bublé concert, okay? Like who cares? - Yeah, Mr. Christmas, the modern Frank Sinatra. - He's not, he's a hack. But once you see the truth. - He has a nice voice, Journey. He has a nice voice. - He's a nice voice. He belongs on a cruise ship. Once you see,

the truth about Michael Bublé, you cannot unsee it. And so there are two people in this world, people who have seen it and people who just haven't yet. Got yet, being not pretty important. And my favorite Michael Bublé fact that I seriously cannot talk about him without bringing up is Taylor Strecker's, Taylor Strecker's favorite story to tell is like, you know, her first marriage, which obviously didn't work out, that like they should have known that something was wrong because their wedding song was just Haven't Met You Yet, which is literally a song about like not having met the right person. Yeah.

That's funny. I like Home. That's a good song. By the way, same. We need someone else to cover it. It's like if Michael Bublé does get canceled, there are going to be a couple songs it's going to be hard to live without. And I just want to say I am here for the cancelization of Michael Bublé. That is cancel culture I personally support. I'm ready for the world. Like how we just had this, we're looking at everything Blake Lively's ever done through new eyes. Let's do that with Michael Bublé. Okay? Well, now the way I feel now...

I'm kind of clouded by the Diddy stuff because I'm like, these are some of the worst things I've ever like seen and heard. And like, it's, it's hardcore. And we need to take out all that trash before like we start analyzing people's old interviews for like a smirk that was made. A thousand percent. And I think like when you look at the,

The hate Blake Lively got. Like it's really insane compared to like what people like bad people actually do. P. Diddy. Michael Buble is not Blake Lively. He's not P. Diddy. He's somewhere in between. Right. But I'm just saying like the P. Diddy stuff is really like taking up a lot of my like time and energy and cancellations. Yeah. Cancellations. I feel that.

And I'm waiting for the names. Like, I literally every day wake up looking for the names. Yeah, I'm making a list and I'm checking it twice. Because that lawyer said we're getting the names. I know. They said we were getting the names with Epstein. Like, I can't get excited until the actual list is in front of me. Yeah. But then people make, like, fake lists. They do make fake lists. They make fake lists. Jimmy Kimmel. Chrissy Teigen, John Legend. Yeah, that's unfortunate. That's, like, that's really not cool. It is, yeah. So...

I just haven't met you yet. Well, thank you for sharing your truth. You're welcome. And honestly, tune into this most recent season of The Voice. It's fabulous. It's a good family friendly. And then they had a 13 year old.

Jackie, you like seriously would have died for this kid. He's the youngest contestant this season. His parents were there like, no, he's an abnormal 13 year old. All he wants to do is go to church and sing. He dresses like a maitre d', like he was wearing like a blue velvet suit. And the mom was like, we don't like push this on him. Like all he wakes up and he says, he wakes me up. He's like, mom, we gotta go to church. Like he was so cute. You never heard a voice like this in your fucking life. He sounded like Aretha Franklin. Like it was insane. Whose team is he on?

Oh, me and Ben were dying. No, everyone turned around for him. So we could have chosen anyone. And we really thought he was going to choose Michael Bublé because like that was the vibe. And so he's talking to everyone. Everyone's giving him advice. And while Reba's giving him advice, he's 13. And he goes, Reba, I just have to say, I'm a survivor. Oh my God. We were cracking up. And then he chose. He goes, all right, who are you going to choose? Who are you going to choose? He goes, Reba.

It was hysterical. Like, seriously. I could see. I could see. And I think Reba is exactly who he should have chosen as a young man in the industry. Like, I think she'll be a stalwart shepherd. Yeah. And you have to think about who his parents probably told him to. Like, you know, you get caught up in a bad crowd. I feel like Michael Bublé, it's like a pipeline to bad news. He's so young and impressionable. Like, Reba will be that maternal spirit for him. You could get caught up in a bad crowd on The Voice. Yeah.

You really can. No, I'm telling you Michael Bublé is threatened by, like when you think about people who have come off the voice, like Morgan Wallen, Michael Bublé is not of the caliber. He's not impenetrable. Like it's not impossible for somebody on his team to eventually supersede him. Yes, but Morgan Wallen like didn't come off the voice. Like I think we've spoken about this before. Like his success I think was actually like

hampered by the voice. Like I think it's just like something he pretends didn't happen. Michael Buble wouldn't have turned around for Morgan Wall and that's for damn sure.

No. So which. That would seriously. Which judge are. Jackie, it would have been like someone coming on The Voice. I'm a guest. They sing toast. And I didn't turn around. Like. But like. But the thing is, I could see that. And I would have said. I would have thought his reason for not turning on would have been different. I think the reason that he stayed in made him look like. Jealous. A big weenie. Because what he could have said. It's like when you're so close to something like.

It makes him like the harshest critic of that genre, right? Like if that person came on and didn't sing toast, but sang something else, like you might be more inclined to turn around because like you're not as close in it. The way you will jump through hoops to defend toxic men like Liam Payne and Michael Bublé. Defend Liam Payne. It's noted. How about that? Like I can't just come on here and speak my truth. You guys have no idea.

I was on FaceTime this morning with a friend. Oh, wow. She's friends. And I was, and I was, and we were just like talking about life, whatever. And so many times I just like,

my brain just like turned off crapped out like I was looking for a word that like wasn't a difficult word I still didn't find it and I was like this doesn't bode well for the show today you know like don't miss out my words sometimes that happens and you just need to I'm glad you brought it up so if like if people like what was wrong with Jackie today she explained it at the top of the show it's so important to set the scene that's why I always share when I have my period I thought maybe like I didn't I hadn't finished my first coffee now I'm on my second coffee but also I don't really have anything to

say to the charges that you just levied at me? I don't have anything to say. Oh, because you know I spoke nothing but truths. No, because I'm not going to waste my time on this. I'm certainly not going to waste my time on Liam Payne or Michael Bublé. I'll save my arguments for a better case. I think that's fair. So yeah, I think Michael Bublé should be cancelled. Agreed. I think that he should be thrown to the wolves. Lock him up and throw away the key. I think he should go to bed without supper. Mm-hmm.

And that's that on the end. Same for Liam Payne. Agreed. Oh, so nice to finally have a co-host. Like I really see eye to eye with. I'm going to give it a shot. Just be like an agreeable queen. Just being like agreeable. I think it's going to be so boring, but maybe, maybe I don't have the fight in me today. Like I'm doing hurricane prep. It's so true. Could she be doing more? Like there's just a lot going on. So,

- Just see where it takes me. - Just like being agreeable. - Just be agreeing with you. Let's see how you guys like it. - Yeah, no, it may be boring for the listeners. For me, it's gonna be a treat. - Well, I don't think our stories are that controversial. - Right, right, so it's gonna be easy for you today. - But we'll see, you never know. - We also have dear toasters, but we usually align on dear toasters. - We do, we do, because at the end of the day, our core tenants are simpatico. - Simpaticoness, yeah. - Simpatico core tenants.

Yeah. I feel like Michael Buble would have a song called Simpatico. I feel like Michael Buble is mean to his wife. It's just a feeling. Well, they're still together, right? And that was four years ago. You should call her up. Just so you know, it's not an indication that I'm wrong. No, but it's like we won't get, we're not going to get more. No, there's no tell-all book coming out. No. But there should be. And we burn them at the stake. Exactly. That's what I've been saying. Yeah.

So we have quite a lot to get into today. Yeah. And now, without further ado about Michael Boobaboo. Wait, wait, wait. I had a dream last night that our today's episode was 38 minutes long. Nightmare. I know.

Like I've always just been blessed not to brag with like strong, delicious, shiny hair.

And in 2023, like I experienced true hair shedding, like brushing my hair, taking in the shower. Like you never saw so much hair on the floor in your life. In my vacuum, I was just like freaking out. I'd never happened to me before. Turns out that it was from like a change in diet when I lost a lot of weight. And that's what Nutrafol does. They target the root cause. So you could be shedding your hair because of like stress. For me, it was a change in diet. Obviously like pre-partum, post-partum, all those things can affect your hair. And so Nutrafol

Nutrafol is gonna target the root cause 'cause everybody has different root causes. It's physician formulated, the ingredients are 100% free. It was probably the most recommended thing. I did like a bunch of things and I would say that Nutrafol was like the most recommended.

Thank you, promo code the turt. The bears. Like, I don't know what commercial that was that, like, really had such a profound impact on me. Where they were like, the bears. What commercial is that? The turt. It's, like, obviously a commercial for somebody's sports. Like, I feel like a cable package or whatever. I don't think it was a commercial. The bears. No, it was. It was. By the way, I just saw a video of Michael Bublé gayed.

And I've had my boost. You did? How did you find it? I had my yearly booster. Text it to me. I need a booster. Okay. It's really bad. It's worse than I remember? No, probably not worse than you remember. I spent like 25 minutes looking for it last night. It's on Facebook. Oh, I did YouTube and TikTok. YouTube and TikTok. Why not Google? I don't know. What about your best friend Gemini? Why didn't you call your best friend Gemini? Oh, okay. Maybe she could help you. Okay, hold on. Maybe she could help you. I need to watch it, you guys. Little face. Oh! Oh, oh.

Oh, oh, it's worse than I remember. That's like actually not funny. No, it's not funny. Just your, oh! Okay. So now you're not even just being agreeable. You actually agree. I agree. Michael Buble is not what he seems. Michael Buble is over party. To what degree? I don't, I couldn't say, but he's not what he seems. He's not what he seems. There's dark energy in that home.

Which is a great segue into our first story. Ooh, what is our first story? Oh, The Housemaid? It is about a home with dark energy because the book The Housemaid by Freda McFadden, which is a fantastic thriller that you'll read in less than 24 hours and you should read it. I literally read it in two hours. Literally. Because it's being turned into a movie, yay, and...

And casting news has come out and director news and it's fire. It's fire. It's probably was the most read thriller last year probably. Well one I think most Freda McFadden books are free on Kindle Unlimited so that like does good for her. But also it's like just the easiest read. And if you ever like looked into Freda McFadden and her career it's so impressive. She's like not a writer by trade. She's like because she writes about like deeply disturbed people. She is like a psychiatrist.

And she writes these little short stories like for fun. And also like I think part of her like patience, like healing journey is to like read these books. And she publishes them and she has become huge. I wonder if she's still like a practicing psychiatrist. She's one of the biggest thriller authors. And they're not short stories. They're full novels, but they're such quick reads that it feels like short stories. No, and she has never once failed. Like I've never guessed once.

The plot twist. Like she always comes out of left field and it's not like unbelievable. I hate when people do like a plot twist in a book or a movie that makes no fucking sense. No, hers, they were like in front of me the entire time and I never guessed it. Yeah. So The Housemaid is going to be turned into a movie and it will be starring Sidney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. Now, if you've read the book, this casting is so perfect because the younger actress does resemble the older one a lot. They're very similar. And I never thought Sidney Seyfried

Sydney Seyfried looked alike. Yeah. But they're twins. This is, and they're both like such good actresses. Like it's going to be quality. The director is Paul Feig who did Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor. So like this is going to be, I think this is going to be one of the few projects where the movie is just as good as the book. I have a lot of high hopes as well. I do want to say one thing.

Not to be negative. Because, you know, I just discovered, like most people, Cindy Sweeney in Euphoria. And I actually remember coming on the show and recapping because she, in the second season, it was really a lot about her. She was so fantastic. Like really some of the best acting I've seen. I thought she totally should have won the Emmy for that like throw up scene in the hot tub. And I thought it was cool like that she really was so talented. In addition, I think she gets a lot of attention because she's really beautiful. But she does have like the acting chops to match. And then I saw Anyone But You.

And I wanted to take back every positive thing I'd ever said about her acting skills. It was actually comically bad, her acting. And now I feel so torn. I can't tell if Sidney Sweeney's an amazing actress or a bad one. I need to see The Housemaid and then I'll make my final decree. Yeah, that wasn't an initial thought when I was actually thinking about this, but I pushed it down. It was or wasn't? It was. Are you just being agreeable?

I didn't mention it because I was being agreeable and just being excited about the news. Yeah. And I am excited. I could see her ruining this movie. Okay. It's a possibility. Thank you for saying that. I'm not saying she's going to, and I pray that she won't, but like that's possible. Because Sydney Sweeney is like the biggest star in Hollywood, and she's done like a couple of movies since Euphoria. I think the only one that people really saw was Anyone But You. She's also in.

that white lotus oh yeah yeah yeah but she didn't have a huge role she's just like being a bitch on the beach like that that's the thing she was very similar in euphoria she was like that bitchy high school popular cheerleader I think she's really good at that maybe she's really mean in real life like like I think I don't know how well she's gonna play like meek little housemaid

Yeah. And anyone but you, she was supposed to pay this like down on her luck, you know, millennial. Like it just, it was not good. It was really bad. So that's a possibility. A concern. However, I'm going to override it. No, and Amanda Seyfried does have experience in these like spooky types of movies. She made this one really weird movie called Chloe with Julianne Moore. Like seriously, don't watch it. It was so weird, but it was very spooky and she crushed it. So,

And she's kind of a chameleon. Like she could be Karen for Mean Girls and then she could be Elizabeth Holmes. Like she really is a chameleon. So I have no concerns about her. You don't? No. No.

Do you? I have less. Less. Less concerns about her. I guess I haven't watched like so much of her stuff. I also didn't know that they were making this into a movie and that's just like, that was part of the news for me too and that's exciting. I think this has the potential to be the next Gone Girl. The story itself. Oh wow, that's a great call. Like the way that this story happens, like I think it could be just as big and give

giving it everything they've got. So I think they couldn't have chosen like a better movie. However, we said all of these things about the perfect couple on Netflix. It's Netflix. It's Nicole Kidman. It's Liev Schreiber. Wait, is this like in theaters? Is this on a streamer? Because Netflix does have a way of ruining books. Oh, interesting. I think they did not do a good job with Luckiest Girl Alive. Lionsgate. So I guess they'll make the movie. Yeah, perhaps. That's promising. Who do you think is going to be like the husband?

I mean, it's kind of irrelevant who the husband is. No, actually, the husband plays a really important role because you need to... I don't want to spoil anything. Don't spoil anything. You need to... Just have a lot of faces. Yeah, I think... Like, be the sweet husband. You need a really talented actor for the husband, for real. Okay.

Anyways, I think this is all very exciting news. It is. It is. And I think that we often hear like blank book is getting picked up option for a movie TV show, but to actually have casting news, knowing that the ball is getting rolling, like every book I ever liked as being technically somebody bought the rights to, and they never get made. So this is actually like people are, it's probably in production. Like, you know, the script is being written. That's very exciting. I'm happy for Frida. It is very exciting. I'm also happy for Frida.

I'm so glad. And I do hope, and I think when I was recapping It Ends With Us, I think really the success in that movie was they did not change like huge things. Yeah. And Frida is such a master of like plot and plot twists that if they try to put their Hollywood spin on it, like I've never once been surprised by like a Hollywood movie. They don't know how to do it. Like Frida- Except Shutter Island. True. But Quentin Tarantino is not doing this film, even though he should. Martin Scorsese. Correct. Correct.

I really hope they don't. This should be Scorsese. Step aside, Fyge. Leave it to Scorsese. I really hope they don't mess with like the bones and the structure because it is perfect. Yeah. I'm sure they'll add a lot. They'll probably add characters like a friend. A kooky neighbor. But this is good. Let's take the win. And we'll see ya when it's out. Plus there's a house made too. So if this is a bonanza, we'll see ya.

There's pretence for a sequel. And Housemate 2 was good. We knew the formula at this point, so it wasn't amazing, but it was a good read. I'm trying to remember. Oh, yeah, yeah. They were in that apartment. She lives in the city, yeah. Yeah, she's in the city, and she's working for a woman in her apartment. On the upper-right side in the Dakota where John Lennon lives. Yeah, in like a Pargy apartment. Pargy. This could, and I'm not going to say anything more because that could spoil something. Something. Except it's worth knowing that Sidney Sweeney is the housemaid.

So if there's Housemaid 2, Sidney Sweeney would be in Housemaid 2. There's like a actually really disturbing part of that book. Like the end. We'll discuss offline. Yeah, yeah. Wouldn't want to spoil something that's coming out in six years. Do you know what I'm talking about? No. Teeth? No, we'll discuss offline. Okay, so you obviously weren't impacted. Because if I said teeth and you knew what I was talking about, you obviously weren't impacted by that scene like I was. No, no. I was kind of reading them very quickly. Yeah, yeah. That was a good time in my life discovering Frida. Yeah.

Yeah, Bad Teacher. I've read all of them. You read The Teacher by Frida? That's her most recent. No, because the last Frida I read, I Frida'd a little too close to the sun. But I think you could be ready for some more Frida in your life. I think I could, actually. But sometimes, like, there are Frida books. What's the one about that abandoned house? Like, that couple goes to see a house because they think they want to buy it and they get snowed in for the weekend? The thing about Frida books is you're not going to remember the titles, really. However... Yeah, they're so arbitrary. It's called, like...

House on the Hill, like... No, no, or like, I could live here. Never Lie. Yes, thank you. Never Lie. To me, that's Frida's best book. And deadass, do not read that book alone at night. Like, I would... It takes a lot for me to, like, be afraid of a book shaking. For me, that was...

One of the few four-star Frida Reads. What? But that twist was so good. It was so good. Oh, my God. I think I had had too much Frida. I've read in total, though, four Frida books. I've read way more. She has so many. She's a queen. How much money do you think she has? Like a lot, right? I don't know. She gives her books away for free on Kindle Unlimited. I think she has a deal with Amazon because I think –

A lot of people get Kindle Unlimited because of all the Frida books. Like she's a huge pull for them. I think Amazon pays her handsomely. I don't think she's doing charity work. No, not charity, but she's not making every book sale. I think she's very taken care of. I think so too. She also sells physical copies. I think she's very taken care of because she sells the volume. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

Anyways, are you ready for our next story? Someone who we actually haven't discussed in this episode yet, but all the other people we've been talking about like feel like her. So it feels like we've already spoken about her. Who? Anne Hathaway.

Oh, I'm obsessed with this. Let's go. Anne Hathaway is apologizing for a cringe interview with the same reporter who almost quit over her nightmare Blake Lively interview. So yeah, we talked about the Blake Lively interviews and actually there is some more to this lady's story because the reporter named Flaw or Flaw

Yeah, she's like Dutch. Yeah, she shared a clip of an interview from 2012 with Anne Hathaway when she was promoting Les Mis. So this is the woman who, if you guys remember, that really started the Blake Lively cancellation. That video resurfaced and it resurfaced because Flo. Flo.

And so I think she was like hoping to get the same like attention with this. And she actually is like this made a lot of waves. It came up on my TikTok. And it's I think it's it's not part. I think it's worse than Blake Lively's. Like this was probably Anne Hathaway's like darkest time. This is when everyone disliked her. She took herself so seriously when she won the Oscars. She said she will use it as a weapon against self-doubt. Like she was insufferable. This was the worst time to be Anne Hathaway in my opinion.

Hmm. Two roads diverge to be agreeable. No, no, no. Tell me your, tell me your truth. So I saw the clip that she like spliced together. It was like three different moments from the interview. Like one, how long was the interview that like you found three moments where your questions didn't go the way that you wanted. The first thing that she said, she joked that she was going to sing the first question to Ann and that Ann would sing the answer back. Like, no. Okay. So that's a reference in Les Mis because they like talk sing. Yeah. And she also did it to, um,

Hugh Jackman. And he loved it. He was like, yes, thank you so much. That's Hugh Jackman. But anyway, so she said, I was going to sing the question so you could sing back the answer. And Anne Hathaway, she was like, well, I won't be doing that, but you're more than welcome to sing. And like, it's important to know like the tone in which she said, she said, well, I won't be doing that, but you're more than welcome to sing. Like it was Kurt. It was Kurt. And then she later in the interview asked like, do you remember your first crush? And

And she answered no. And then she also asked, do you believe that like love was more passionate during the film to the time that the film took place? And she said no. So, but, but then it's so funny because it's like, so this is a bad look for Anne Hathaway. Yet at the same time, women are also like being encouraged. Like no is a full sentence.

Okay. So no is a full sentence, but not in this scenario. I actually think the first question, like I am with Ann on like, please. Do you remember your first crush? No, no. Can I sing with you? Like, I agree. And like, no, the other two, like when someone's interviewing you and you give them nothing like that is like actually so rude. And Anne Hathaway was like, obviously a in a mood or B, this is like who she was at that time. I don't believe that she's like that, like, like that now. Um,

But like, why are you sitting down for an interview if you have nothing to say? Like, it just makes the person's job difficult. And interviewing celebrities like is difficult enough. But at the same time, like. But I can't make that call because I've not seen the rest of the interview. So like. Right, how did it go? And Anne Hathaway is actually like a very verbose person. So like.

What were the other questions? Did she answer them at length? Were these like the three Kurt moments that you found? Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Well, the journalist then shared that Anne Hathaway's publicist emailed her and it was a note that Anne wrote to the publicist and asked to forward to the journalist, just basically explaining, like she apologized first.

So this is what Fla said. I have to say I was pretty shocked. I had not expected her to reach out to me at all. I thought she was never going to even see that video, but she did, and she did something pretty amazing. She revealed that Anne sent her a long email explaining what she was going through at the time and apologizing for giving Fla an awful interview. Then Fla also said that it was a very personal note, and we decided that I wouldn't share exactly what was in that email, but I just wanted to share with you guys what she did because I thought that was just so amazing.

So something is maybe I could, if this video like organically went viral, like flaw didn't release it herself. Like maybe I would have something different to say, but the, to make your bones off of, because nobody had heard of this, of this woman as a journalist prior to this. Now they know her as like the woman who kind of gotchas people. And like, to me, that's so bad faith that even though like, I do think like Anne Hathaway was being a bitch and a half, like I kind of don't care.

Yeah, that's how I'm feeling too. And like when you do see that Anne Hathaway clip, like you always have to like give someone the benefit of the doubt. Like you don't know what they're going through. Like everyone has like hard. Bad moments. Hard days, bad moments. And so then Anne wrote this email telling her that she was going through something and it was clearly something big enough that Fla is not going to share. So great. Like how do you. Yeah. You got her. You got her. Making a career off of like being the, the counselor, like that's,

That's what started the whole Blake Lively thing. I don't know. To me, that's not a way I would ever want to become famous, but maybe that's just me. And I would love to see, I'm sure there are plenty of men who have been really rude to this woman. I don't know, her obsession with putting successful women on blast. I don't know. It feels like such bad intentions that even though at the core of it, you watch that interview and Anne's in the wrong, it's hard to root for this woman.

- I agree, even though like really when you, the three instances that she's like showing, it's so easy to like jump to be like, that's mean. But I don't know, we need more context. All she said was no. Like she answered like, she wasn't like, that's a dumb question. - Do you remember your first crush is stupid? - Yeah. - It's actually a bad question. - She didn't say no, why would you ask that? She just said no. - No. And the other question about being, do you think people sacrificed more? - Love was like more passionate in that time.

No? Like, it's just a stupid question. Who fucking cares? Right. I do feel like we have the same conclusion, which is that, like, flaw, I don't think she has the greatest of intentions. No, I'm in agreement. I think she really likes a lot of the attention she received for that Blake interview, and she's just trying to, like, muster up more of that. And, like, it's going maybe back to her old interviews and, like, finding moments that...

out of context like do make a person look bad and it's like one context is key and two you don't know what a person is going through on the day of that interview just like flaw said on her own interview with Blake live like she was dealing with a lot at that time and flaw also said that Anne has asked her to interview her for her upcoming movie so there'll be like a moment

Where Anne is probably just so chatty and positive with Fla. And then she'll get criticized for being like weird and chatty and too much personality and like what's wrong. Like there's no winning. No this sucks for Anne Hathaway because I feel like she's made a lot of

progress and she's done a lot of work on herself to become like people love her now she's like a fashion queen her most recent works have been like really critically acclaimed but there was a time where like Anne Hathaway could not get arrested like nobody could say one positive thing about her everyone found her annoying and whatever and so I think she's made a lot of progress in becoming really getting back in the good graces of public opinion and I think this probably rattled her

Yeah. I just want to say like for me, it doesn't change any how I feel about Anne. Plus the fact that it's from that time that she's already like moved on from and clearly who she is today like isn't who she was then. Yeah, like I have made peace with everything Anne Hathaway did while she had a pixie cut.

And at the end of the day, her crime here was that she said no twice and like didn't want to sing in an interview, which I couldn't relate to that. Yeah. And if you are going through something personally and like you're on a press junket like all day long, by the time this person rolls in, you're just like, no, I'm not going to sing. Like, no, I don't remember my first crush. I mean, I do. Obviously Maverick and I are different. So I asked the wrong girl. She, yeah, yeah. Jackie, do you believe love was more passionate back then?

Sorry, sorry. Jackie, do you believe love was more passionate back then? Like, I think that's such a big question. Like, that's not... It can't be answered in, like, one sentence. You could write a book on that. In, like, true press junkets, like, when you're, like, a movie star and you do a press junket, they, like, book, like, a huge hotel room. They black it out. You sit there all day and 45 reporters come in and they each get, like, seven minutes. It's, like...

Seriously, probably one of the worst experiences. I could never. You answer the same questions about the same thing for days and days and days. So when this woman came in with her singing questions, like, no, no. Okay, so that's the latest. That's how Flaw sees it. That literally is how Flaw sees it.

Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Which is how Donna Kelsey sees it. So Donna is doing her least favorite thing, and that is answering questions about Travis and Taylor Swift. Because the Glamour Women of the Year Awards were in New York City last night. Donna was on the cover. Donna was there. We didn't even talk about that, like that the Glamour did the moms on the cover. They had Beyonce's mom, Phineas, and Willie's mom,

Travis's mom, and who was the fourth? Beyonce, did I say Beyonce? - You said Beyonce. - Yeah, Beyonce, Travis, Winnius and Willie, and-- - Do you want me to pull it up? - Selena!

Anyway, so Donner was there at the awards. Oh, wait, sorry, which I just want to say, like, I loved. We didn't get a chance to recap it because it was Rosh Hashanah, but I thought that was so different. Agreed. And love the moms getting the moment. The support for mothers. I actually thought that was brilliant. More of that. And they chose something. Like, we're always saying people do lists and they never choose. They chose mothers. I love that. Yeah, and they chose, like, you know, for a really strong reason.

from different buckets. And so the fact that there was four didn't bother me because they were all doing something different. Where was Andrea Swift? Continue. So Donner was on the red carpet and she was asked. Her least favorite place. She was asked, like, no offense, a really, like, inappropriate question, which was, will Travis propose to Taylor? Oh.

Oh my God. People are actually not okay. Yeah. And she said, nobody knows that. We will see what happens. You never know. I think it was page six that asked the question. Classic. She also said that, um, why did they even ask that as if she'd be like, yeah, he's actually planning to do it a month from now with a ring that looks like this. Like no absurd. And you know how she crumbles when asked about Taylor. She like doesn't, she wants to be coy and respectful. And then she comes off kind of like a rude, rude.

So afraid of saying the wrong thing that she would rather come off as nasty, which she often does. She's not a mean person. No. It's how she comes off because she is so afraid. It's better than saying the wrong thing. Yeah. So she said, nobody knows that. We'll see what happens. You never know, which is a perfect answer to a bad question. Agreed. And like, honestly, I feel like Donna Kelsey's at a point in her career where she can like go on the carpet. When you do a red carpet, there's two parts of it. All the photographers who stand there and take pictures. And then the second half is like people.

Page Six, TV, E! News, that's like cameras and that's what Kelty does, right? Like you get interviewed by someone and it is recorded whether it's audio or video. And most mega celebrities do the photos and then skip that second part. I think Donna Kelsey's at a point in her life and also for like her mental health where she needs to skip the second part of the carpet. Yeah. Yeah. And because she does interviews like Glamour, she sat down for an interview. They would never ask her that. Like controlled interviews, she should do. Like red carpet mania, she's not built for. Yeah.

No. And yeah, just being in Taylor's world, you can't just be put yourself in a position where people can just have access to ask you anything. Yeah. She's surpassed it. Yeah. But I think she was having fun. It was her big night. Donna's night out. Like, and by the way, Beyonce showed up to the event. Let's go. Let's go. I love that. And yeah, Beyonce was there. I think people were like quaking. They didn't think she was going to show up, but like it was for her mom. Like Beyonce is,

she's a star and she's too good for glamour women of the year, but not in support of her mom. Totally. And then did you see, um, tailored and Travis are headed to the East coast for his bi-week? Um,

No, but you know, I meant. And then she got on the plane at six and he got on the plane at seven. So she was like. She waited an hour? Yeah, but I'm sure. Maybe she had like a call or something. No, I'm sure like he was getting all his shit. Like, you know, it takes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, by the way, I got to get dressed and stay alert because, you know, yesterday as I was leaving the studio, I got a text message from Zero Bond. They're like, hey, we'll be closed today. Like last minute, like starting at three. I'm like, oh.

Oh, you think? Oh, they're coming. Like for me, I'm like, oh, Hurricane Milton. Classic. No, no. But it was yesterday and Taylor wasn't there. But I thought for sure. I'm like, maybe if I stand outside. Like, I can't do that. No. No, you can't. But maybe if you stand outside and wear a kilt, she'll notice you. Perhaps.

So that'll be some exciting content. You think they're headed to the city? I think they should go to Holiday House. Like it's so much better. Oh, are they not confirmed? I thought you said they were coming to the city. East Coast is what I saw. Oh. I feel like they always go to the city. They could have seen where they landed, but I didn't take it that far. Is there anything big going on in the city? Last time they flew right to the city because they had a wedding and then the U.S. Open. Is there anything fabulous going on? When it's like a big week, they're always here. Yeah. Like fashion week stuff. But there's like nothing going on this week, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah.

I think it's a holiday house sort of week. I mean, if I owned holiday house, like every bi-week would be a holiday house type of week. I would never leave. Yeah. Broke bitches should never laugh.

And then, yeah, that's the tailored update for the day. Oh, I'm so excited for them. Do you think she was, like, so mad on the plane waiting for an hour? I think that's what the article tried to make it seem like. But no, like, he has to pack. Maybe he had a team meeting and she would rather, like, wait on her plane and have dinner than, like, go to a restaurant in KC. Right. Her plane is, like, actually so secure. There's not many places she could just post up. Yeah. I think it's totally fine to, like, post up on the jet. On the plane, yeah. Wait, I don't think...

It was like she was waiting for him. Well, she was waiting for him, but maybe he had a team meeting. It's all the same. Maybe, yeah. Or like a call with seven lawyers. That's the thing. Like if you have calls and you're like, oh, you know, I'll just take it on the plane while I wait for Travis. Like it's kind of like not a big deal. Or maybe he was like picking up the engagement ring from a local jeweler. That's a better. Yeah, that's definitely it. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. What number? Number four. Yeah.

The Office star Jenna Fisher reveals her breast cancer diagnosis. So this was really big news yesterday because Jenna Fisher revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She announced the news via Instagram on Tuesday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And she shared that back in October 2023, she posted a photo of herself on Instagram preparing for her routine mammogram with a joking reminder to take care of your ticking time bags, a la Michael Scott.

So of course encouraging women to get checked, but I think nobody knew that she had been dealing with this for a year.

No, and she shared a, like, not that this is the most important thing, but the photo she had shared, she wrote in her caption, like, thanks to Angela Kinsey's husband who took this photo of me, who's Angela from The Office. Right, and they do their podcast together, right? Yeah, and her husband, I mean, Angela's husband, I guess, is like a photographer, and...

And they had this like really cute photo taken of her to show off like her new, cause she had lost her hair. So it was just like a cute office reference. Yeah. But also knowing like they do their podcast office ladies. Yeah. It's really popular. One of the bigger podcasting female duos, you know, not to one of not to pit female podcasting duos against one another and that they've been doing that.

in this entire year while she's been going through this. - Yeah, that's really crazy. - Yeah, so-- - No, she's a queen and I feel like people really love her. Like if you're an Office fan, like she's your favorite. Pam and Jim? - Yeah, Pam and Jim. - Pam and Jim. - Yeah. - The people from the Office like all did such different things. - Yeah, while also not having to do anything.

But you know Dwight Schrute, what's his name, Rainn Wilson in real life, he has a podcast. And he had actually found himself like this week in a little bit of hot water from his podcast because he had Trisha Paytas on.

And Trisha, for like those who don't know, like you remember the frenemies time Trisha was doing this podcast. I guess that was like a time she really, really does not like to talk about more so because I think she was experiencing like a psychotic break and it was all filmed. And even though people like love the show and whatever, she looks back on that as like one of the worst times. And she was explaining like she doesn't talk about it because she literally can't. And he was just like not having it and like kept forcing her to answer these questions about that particular time. Now, granted, I don't think he knew any of this, but I do research on your guests.

And he's getting actually like some heat for it because she was like so uncomfortable and he was acting like kind of inappropriate. That's weird. Like why does he even care? Yes. And also like I feel like every movie I watch, he is low key in it. Like he was just in Lessons in Chemistry. Yeah. You know, like he's literally in every movie. Like why are you also podcasting? I feel like him and Jim Gaffigan like have to hate each other because like I feel like they go out for all the same roles.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I don't necessarily need the two of them. Because honestly, if you were to ask me who was the boss of the TV station in Lessons in Chemistry, I would have said Jim Gaffigan. Like, I feel like they're literally twins. I didn't even realize that it was Dwight Schrute until, like, the credits say, like, Rainhills. I'm like, oh, yeah. Like, I don't know. He's just a very successful working actor. I just don't feel like you also need to podcast. And, like, interview Trisha Paytas. Right, right. Like, it's okay to have Elaine sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.

Our fifth and final story, mazel tov to Vanessa Lachey because Love is Blind season one couple Amber and Barnett are expecting their first baby. Yeah, this is huge for annoying bitches like Vanessa Lachey. Amber and Barnett, who met and tied the knot in season one, announced they were expecting their first baby on Tuesday's episode of the Love Seat podcast hosted by Lawrence B. Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton. Of course. So Amber shared the news saying over the summer he just went and knocked me up.

And they talk about how they're so excited to meet the little one. And this is just major news. I mean, as Amber and Barnett stands, like major news. First love is blind baby. Very exciting. And Amber and Barnett were making a lot of waves on that show too. Because I guess this is like the first time they're being really honest about their experience. And more so like the edit that they got. And...

it was interesting to watch, but it was also really interesting to watch everyone, like Lauren and Cameron, like not really disagree with her. Cause she was basically saying like, she was not like open to being taken advantage of. And she was kind of like,

She was just like standing up for herself a lot in the process. And she thinks that really put a target on her back. Cause like, remember they had a whole conversation about her finances and like her being in debt. And like she went to college and the army paid for it, but then she dropped out. So she stuck with the bill and they really made her seem like a low life with no money and like no financial responsibility. There's like a whole part of that conversation. Like,

Barnett was also in $40,000 of debt at the time. And they completely left that out. Just really positioning it as like, Barnett, look, he owns a home and he has his life together. And here comes this like low life looking for his money. Like she was like finally speaking her truth. And I thought that was really shocking. Yeah. So then what? Lauren and Cameron? They just were like smiling, being like, like, cause she was explaining the dynamic with the producers and she was calling people out by name. The dynamic just very much being like, if you don't go along with it, like you're, you're really putting a target on your back. And like, it felt very personal. Yeah. Yeah.

And so everyone just sort of sat and giggled because she, I guess, was speaking the truth.

Damn. Well, I was always rooting for them. I know. You were able to see past the edit. I was able to see past. And I'm so happy for them. I'm always happy when I go to their profiles and see that they're still together. And every day that I wake up and it's not a story that they've broken up is a good day. And now that they're having a baby, I'm just really excited for them. And it's definitely good timing to reaffirm my...

for the show because of what's going on this season. Agreed. And I do think it's so crazy that this is our first baby. Yeah. I didn't know who I thought it was going to be, but I don't know if I thought it was going to be Amber and Barnett. Or just based on like how long everyone's been together, a season one couple. Right. Or Lauren and Cameron. Right. I don't know. I feel like I would have thought it was like Tiffany and Brett.

Yeah. Or then it could just be like another couple that's just like ready to rock like Kwame and Chelsea or Kwame and Chelsea or like Johnny and Vanessa. Johnny. No. Heavens forbid. Yeah. He can't have a baby a minute too soon. I'm happy for them. That's really nice. They're a nice couple. Yeah, they are.

Exactly.

Okay. Hey, Jackson Turdy, I need your help. I was casually hooking up. This one's more of like an unburden than a deer toast. I don't know how we can help. I mean, that's why unburden went the way of the wind because they are very similar. So it happens. I need your help. I was casually hooking up with this guy for a few months, a situationship, if you will. I'm Gen Z. And the guy's mom died last week. This weekend, while drunk, I sent him a text that said, and I quote, sorry, your mom died, King. Salute emoji. Okay.

I know I'm going straight to hell. He never acknowledged the text and the next morning snapchatted like nothing happened. Do I apologize? Never see this man again. Act like nothing happened. Help. Next morning snapchatted like nothing happened. I need. I guess that's what the kids do. You like snap like a picture of your coffee and you send it to like your peeps. Like back and forth. Like and he still sent to her. So he's not done with her. No. But like how can she look this man in the eye knowing what she said? I think that she can. I think it's better than not acknowledging his mother's passing at all.

I actually think it would have been better to not acknowledge it than to send this text. No, to not acknowledge? Why not acknowledge? That's someone that you're intimate with. Why wouldn't you? Yeah, of course. But like, this is like borderline disrespectful. Not even borderline. Like, sorry, your mom died, King. Did she spell out sorry or was it an S-R-Y? According to her email, S-O-R-R. Okay, that's something. It's not rip. Yeah, I'm surprised she didn't say hashtag rip at the end. I'm shocked she didn't text him rip. Now...

The thing is, like, if he Snapchatted you back, like, he's obviously not deeply offended and, like, maybe you two can move on from this. But I do, not to, like, make matters worse, like, I do want you to look inward, like, and why, like, a drunk you thought this was an acceptable text. Like, someone losing their mother is, like, the worst thing that can happen to a person. And why wouldn't you text him, like, sober when you heard the news? Like, just something meaningful. Like, that way drunk you did. I don't understand. I don't understand either. I mean, you could follow up and be, like...

I didn't really know what to say. I sent that text the other night because I just, I wanted to reach out. But in thinking more about it, like, I just want to let you know I'm really here for you. And I'm sorry for what you must be going through. Like, just, like, acknowledge it and follow up with a little heft. Yeah. And I don't think if this works out or if it doesn't work out, I don't know if you'll ever regret, like, being there for someone. Even if, like, you never see this person again. I don't think you'll ever regret, like, offering a shoulder to cry on to somebody going through this. Like, even if he doesn't take you up on it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Like...

You'll never regret like trying to do the right thing. Yeah, just like try and like add more to the text with a little redo on the situation. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. And you know, this is a lesson to be learned. Like when you hear somebody is experiencing grief, like text them immediately sober. Yeah, especially if drunk you like seems to do stuff like this.

And I can tell you, you really never know the impact a text is going to have on someone. Like, I wrote this in my book, actually, like, so randomly. Like, you know when you remember, like, the most random things, like, of people who said nice things to you? Like, I literally remember, like, when Daddy died, like, the most random girl from my grade, like, wrote me the nicest text. And I could recite it to you now. I never forgot it. That's so nice. Or when our dog, Walker, wrote me the sweetest text about Theo. Like, you really, when people go out of their way to say something kind, I'm telling you, it really, it leaves an impact. And yeah, yeah.

Best it leaves an impact at worse, it was a nice moment and then they move on. Correct. Like there's nothing worse than that that could happen. Yep. Agreed. All right, next up. Hi guys, I'm actually dead right now writing to you. So a few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I went to stay with his parents at their beach house. While we were down there, I painted a sign for their front yard and the week after, his mom asked me for my address to send me something in the mail. So I'm thinking it's a card, a thank you note for painting the sign, right? Yeah.

What's wrong with her? Like... I know, like... That happens all the time. Like, Petty, throw them away or leave them in the drawer if you expect that she's coming back. I'm still...

I'm still stuck on the beginning. What does that mean you painted a sign?

So it's a beach house, you know? It's like the Smiths. Like she probably made something cute. I don't think that's weird. No, no, I just don't. I'm not understanding. Well, I think that was like her... Maybe that was like an innocuous thing that happened that weekend, but she thought that's what the letter was going to be about because it was like kind of this nice thing. Maybe this girl's like an amazing painter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they would have paid someone a couple hundred dollars and here she is like doing it from scratch. So cute. No, I agree. This is like 100% on the mom. An actual normal person would never want to go out of their way to embarrass their son's girlfriend. You would obviously throw it away or...

clean them, fold them. And she's a woman. Like it's not disgusting. Putting it in the drawer of the bedroom that they sleep in so that the next time, look, she has a pair of undies. Right. To go out of her way to mail them like she's a child.

Yeah, she's a child. And she, by the way, she was trying to embarrass you. Like just, you know, this is a BFA moment. Bad faith actor. Actress. Yeah. Yeah. I would ignore it. And don't feel bad for one. Don't feel bad for one second. Like thongs get trapped in the dryer all the time. They're kind of like a thong trap. Yeah. Especially those hanky pankys. They're so staticky. They stick right to the top of the dryer. They were totally clean. You did nothing wrong. Like she's just being one of those like textbook cliche. Wench. Wenchy mother-in-laws. Yeah.

agreed you did nothing wrong definitely ignore like this is bitchy behavior and she did it to get a reaction out of you do not give that to her text her oh my god I'm so sorry like I didn't know I'm so embarrassed not like yeah I'm dicking down your your son and you're not no like sorry I washed my undies yeah at least you're a nice girl who wears underwear like I'm sorry like she don't be embarrassed don't be embarrassed you did nothing wrong

Hey, Swirlies. This one I think you'll be able to help with. I'm five months pregnant with my first child, and I've been staying in my in-law's cabin. I have some quirky pregnancy cravings, but I literally can't eat anything without my father-in-law making a comment about it. So these comments range from simply yucking my yums to more offensive statements like, you're making that baby really strong by eating all that food, or you look so big, or wow, are you sure you're not having twins with eating that much?

My husband has said something to him because he had picked up on the bad vibes, but it hasn't helped at all. He has almost started doubling down on the comments, and every time I go to eat, I'm waiting for the comment. Am I being dramatic, overly sensitive? Should I just suck it up? That's so fucking weird. Do I say something to him, but I honestly don't know if I can confront him without bursting into tears? Any help appreciated? Now, I have to say, I chose this one because I have the perfect response for you. There is a scene and a line from Sex and the City that you literally need to just copy because Miranda just had a baby, and she's like,

And they're in Atlantic City. And this guy, this like prick is like, move out of the way, fat ass. And Carrie's like, excuse me. She just had a baby. What's your excuse? Twins? So you need to throw it in his face. Be like, oh, wow, you're eating a lot. You having twins? Yeah, what's your excuse? Triplets? Yeah. And who cares if he's not even fat? Like, fuck you. Like, seriously, this man is so toxic. We need to fire in all cylinders. Like, give it back to him. Also have your husband like say something to him. Like, stay away from him. This is so messed up. Who says...

Who says something like that to a pregnant woman? Let alone like multiple times. Let alone like the girl who's giving you a grandchild. Like fuck off. No I completely agree. Like it's time we go into the kitchen guns blazing. Yeah. Like you need to enter the kitchen now every time. Like on the defense. Yeah. And with a couple of good lines. A couple of good zingers. Up your sleeve.

Yeah. Unacceptable. And do not suck it up. You can't let people think like that, that they can get away with being animals. And like sometimes when someone makes an offensive comment, it's like, you know, you ruminate on it and you're like, fuck, I wish I said this. The good news is he's going to keep saying it and giving you opportunities. You can keep on strategizing what you want to say back to him. That's one zinger that I have for you. Like, please sound off in the comments. You guys like give us good, like not, not so long that she can't memorize it. Like quick zingers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Just trying to keep up with you. Right. Biggie. Trying to find what I can after you tore through the kitchen. Right, right. That's a good one. Unacceptable. You have to come up with some things to say. And why do we have to stay in the cabin? Just, you know. Maybe it's really nice. But no niceness is worth this. Yeah. It's just not. But thank you to all the girlies who wrote in. We hope we were helpful. And make sure to write us again. DeerToasters at gmail.com. Update us on what happened. That's our show.

- Tis. - Tis. - I would say you were like definitely agreeable and I actually really enjoyed it. - I would say other than one or two times, like I didn't have to go out of my way to be agreeable. So I don't feel like this was a practical application of policy and maybe another time I will try this again. - I'm down, you just let me know. - Yeah, I think we just like genuinely on a genuine level, like agreed today. - Agreed, you're right. The stories were like not polarizing at all. - As I said.
