Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Thursday. Congrats, grads to making it for the latter half of the week. Such an exciting thrill. Thrilla. Thrilla, Ryan.

It is an exciting thrill. I didn't even acknowledge in my own personal space today that it is Thursday. This week, in a good way, I guess, hasn't been very day dependent. It's all felt like a blur. But I'm so happy to be here on this Thursday, this day of Thursday with you.

Nevertheless, it is still Thursday. I spoke too soon. Here I was all week going on about the weather and greatest city on Earth, the traversing. I went to leave my house today. I have an apartment with a lot of windows, not to brag. And seriously, it was dark, apocalyptic. Fog, rain, thunder, thunder, lightning. Seriously, the weather's gone. We're back to shit. We got two good days. Everybody acted like it was permanent, myself included. And it wasn't. It's shit again. Shit town, shit weather, shit everything.

Got too big for your breaches. Speaking of breaches, something that's really crazy and just goes to show how we are-What's a breach? Pants.

Oh.

Just goes to show how we are so simpatico. We could be doing this show on opposite ends of the globe. And on the same day, for the first time in the six years we've been doing this show, both you and I are wearing shorts on the show, which we never do.

No, it's really crazy. I'm looking in the monitor, regretting it. Showing leg is such a seriously brave thing as two women in the industry.

We've been showing leg. It's not about that. We've already conquered that fear because we are so brave.

I don't know if we've conquered it, but we've done it.

We are looking that fear. We're looking camp right in the eye. Right in the eye. And speaking of camp, no, it's the fact that we're wearing jean shorts. Not buy your shorts.

Why is that crazy?

Not a skirt. That's just so crazy and regular of us. We're It is just two normal regular girls going about our days.

Yeah. Girls who just wear jean shorts, specifically on camera, but just to work or wherever, are so carefree, and we've never been that carefree. So yes, I hear you. Something about it being denim is so casual. We're just two girls. Should we grab a surf or grab a slice of pizza, maybe a beer? Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

Regular degular swirleys today. Usually, I'm wearing a tailored short or a pleated skirt. But just to go raw dog jean In short, I was trying something new, and we're so simpatico that you had that experience today, too. It's classic us, classic Jackson Claude on the same wavelength.

In a very low-key, but also serious way, it's extremely classic.

It's overt today how Classic we're being.

So you're saying it's high-key?

I like overt.

Okay.

As the antonym to low-key.

Such a crazy day so far. Told you already about the weather. I made three TikToks. I'm exhausted. But I learned something crazy this morning. Did you know that people in Canada pronounce the skin condition eczema, eczema? I just thought that was really crazy.

That should be crazy, but they're crazy up there, and they say things in such a wild manner. That's true. That's par for the course. I'd be more shocked if they said eczema.

We're talking about eczema, and it's crazy. It's insane how Canada is so similar to America. It's like an English-speaking, North American country. Like, literally, our borders touch. I just feel like we have a lot in common, more so than we have in common with Mexico. Our borders touch there, too. But they speak a different language. They have a totally different culture. Now, I know we got the French thing going on in Canada, but please, you're American. It's crazy how every now and then I'm reminded that we're literally a different country. When I went there and all the exit signs said sorty on them, I was like, Oh, okay. We actually are quite different.

But do you not relate more to our Southern neighbors as a La Tostada yourself?

Well, actually, on the way to work this I listened to a bit of Selena and Gipsy Kings. I was really feeling the Spanish music, and I was just cracking myself up. Because first of all, before I discovered that I was a Tostada Latina queen, I love Gipsy Kings and Selena. Before you discovered your roots? Before I did it in my ancestry, I still loved, and now it makes sense why I had this connection, I love the Gipsy Kings and I love Selena. But today, I was giggling about not me literally listening to Spanish music. I'm so funny.

Embracing the tostada lifestyle.

And then I was listening to that other... What's the classic Selena song? 'Cuz' Dreaming of you tonight. But this is a classic Spanish one. No me quedamos.

Oh, yeah. You know that one? Yeah.

I can't remember how it goes, but it's so good. Hold on, I'll play it a little bit. I don't want to get too monetized. Okay, I don't remember, but it was really good. Selena.

Well, I'm glad for you. I was listening to TTPD this morning. I'm finally on the latter half of the album, and it's not really going well.

Oh my God, that's so crazy. The latter half of the album, I think, is better. And I also was listening to TTPD this morning, and I I realized, I think the entire time, because I play it every morning on my Sonos, and I just go to Spotify. I don't look. I think the entire time I've been listening to the clean version, because today I heard a line. I was like, Holy shit, she's cursing a lot. Then I realized, yeah, because the song I know best is But Daddy, I Love Him. It's on my running playlist. I'm listening to it. I'm like, This sounds so different. At the end, she goes, And although the wine mams are still holding out, it's over. Fuck them. I was like, Excuse me? I've been listening to the clean version, and this morning for the first time I think ever- What is the version that you hear?

What does she say?

Wine mums, it's over. I just think it's quiet, actually.

Well, that works, too. Yeah, sometimes I listen to the Clean. Something on my iPad, the clean one comes up when I listen in the kitchen, which is good for the larger house. It's always so surprising. The lyrics changes, and they definitely stop you in your tracks, and also makes you realize how much she does Curse on the non- Clean version.

Okay, so with the bolter, I was like, Oh, my God. But she'll call him a bore. No, he'll call her a bore. In the version today, she's saying, Whore. I was like, I'm literally clutching my pearls. But he'll call her a whore, but you know it was so when she was leaving. I was like, Okay, whore.

Yeah. I guess I was just so enmeshed in the first half that... I don't know.

I'm going to stick with the first half for a while longer. No, no, you're so wrong. You are so wrong. The second half, I think, is even better. First of all, the bolter is So good.

Like Cassandra?

Cassandra, I would agree, is a skip. Peter.

Peter was good. I look in people's windows.

So good. I didn't like that one. You're wrong for that one.

Anyways, I was loving the first half. I'm going back. I felt obligated to go to the second half, but I'm clearly not ready. I'm going to stick with my first album there.

You're not ready.

But I also feel like so many major albums have dropped in the last few months, and they come and go so quickly.

I know.

Ari's album was so exciting for a second. Dawn, Casey Musgraves, gone. Beyoncé, it's been very... All is quiet. And TPD, I don't feel that way, maybe just because I've been listening to it, but I tried to went back to Ari's album because I was realizing I was feeling this way. I'm like, Wait, we just got so much new music. Why do I feel like I have nothing to listen to? So I went back, and I don't know, everything just already felt old to me.

Oh, man.

Yeah, it wasn't like... Not the steakface. Except for my favorite We Can't Be Friends.

Yeah, that one's good. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know what that is, what that it's about.

Or if it's a universal feeling or just a Jackie feeling.

Does anyone else feel like these albums came and gone, and they didn't make that much of an impact?

That's how I experience all albums that aren't Taylor Swift and Luke Holmes. I just love it and leave it. Yeah.

I should get back to Cowboy Carter because- I should, too. There was more there for me, too. It inspired me to branch out, listen to other things. I was like, Oh, this sounds like this. I'm going to go listen to that. Shibuzi. Oh, my God. It got me on my Shibuzi rabbit hole. Shit. Obsession.

You're on your Shibuzi shit right now.

Obsession. So now I need to go back to the source, and maybe that's what I'll do in my quest for new music.

I love that. What else is going on?

I started a new book last night.

Okay.

And I started it because I saw that Kim Kardashian had bought the rights to make the movie show version of Had you heard of this book?

What was the book? I read it. What was it?

About Calabasas.

Oh, no. She did something with Emma Roberts, right?

Yes. What's the book? And it's called You'll Never... Where is it? It should be in my currently reading. I don't know. You'll never work in this town again, some shit like that.

That's what it sounded like you're going to say.

I don't even know where to find it because now it's not on my want to read or my read, and it's gone. And it's not on my reading because it still has Garden of Finnsy Cundiney's here.

Everything... Oh, no, no, no.

You'll never can't sit with us. Something like that.

Everything We Never knew?

No.

Okay, because Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts are starring in an adaptation.

I do also think Kim Kardashian- Of a Julianne Huff book.

What is this? What? May 10th, 2024, from shereads. Com. By the way, if you lived here, you'd be famous by now.

If you lived here, you'd be famous by now. Yes, that's It's apparently... I didn't even look at what it's about before I started to read it. It's a Calabasas teen drama series. Yeah. I wonder if I'll continue to like it.

And it's being produced by Marlene King, who did Pretty Little Liars.

Oh, I didn't realize it's for teeny boppers. I thought it was... I don't know why I thought it was a book of short stories.

This story centers around a 16-year-old girl named Via, who transfers from an extremely Catholic school to Calabasis High School. Here she learns that no one is as they seem, and everyone is trying to be someone else.

Wait, I'm cracking up. I thought it was a It's a very literary book, probably because of Emma Roberts, and I thought it was a book of short stories about, I don't know, living in Calabasis.

I just want to say I completely misunderstood this headline. It goes like this, Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts to star in an adaptation. Julia and Huff book release.

It was- And more news. A roundup of book news.

Yeah, and not Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts to start an adaptation, Julianne Huff Book.

Understood, even though that would be better.

Agreed.

Okay, so yeah, I'm reading that book. I don't know why I'm reading it, though, because if I like it, it's going to make me dislike whatever they're putting together. And if I don't like it, I'm going to be like, Why are they making this into a show?

I don't think the book nor the movie seriously is for you, and I think you should just stop. For real. It's actually for teenagers.

But I'm reading it. It doesn't seem super immature. I thought it was a book of short stories. I'm cracking up. Short stories about living in Calabasas. One of them was like how... She goes to Calabasas High School right now, and they discovered their favorite lunch spot, The Health Nut. And they have this amazing perfect salad. And it's like the Calabas. Kardashian Salads. No, but it's before Kardashian's. It's the Calabasas.

No, but that's the place.

Yeah, don't spoil it. It's a Calabas. It's like high school salad. Everyone goes there for lunch. It's our little secret. We love it. And then they're watching Keeping Up with the Kardashian's one day, and it's on the show. And then the whole chain, they move down the street, and they're so big now, and they can't get their salad at lunchtime. I don't know.

It didn't- That's stupid.

No, but it was about your favorite things. It was a greater I feel like it's where we grew up, where we used to go out to lunch. It was nostalgic.

Jackie and I recently actually had lunch at the place we used to have lunch at growing up on Long Island. And so happy we were when we walked in, we saw that the facility was still standing. Now, obviously, there have been some changes. We were nervous to see, nostalgia has a way of just painting everything in rose-colored. But let me tell your ass how good that fucking lunch spot was.

It stood the test of It's a good time. We had wraps.

Shout out Pantano's Deli. Seriously, the best lunch I've had in months.

Is it a deli?

You know what? When I said it, it didn't sound right. It's just called Pantano's. It's not a deli. Actually, Jackie, I think it's a deli.

No, it's more... It's like an Italian eatery. It has a...

Yeah, because they had a lot of chicken parm dishes.

Yeah, a lot of heroes wraps, everything with an Italian spin. I don't think they have... They do have deli meats for their larger- It's not a deli. It's an eatery. For their larger Italian sub, but it's not centered I'm really tired on deli tings.

I felt like I ate a lot, but I really just scratch the surface. I needed to go back and order one of those chicken parm sandwiches.

Yeah. And so that was nice to know that it was truly good.

Your faves were your fave for a reason.

Yeah, you You had taste then, and you've got it now.

I love that.

So, yeah, that's what I'm reading. I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to go over to him like, I didn't learn that it was a book for teeny boppers. Okay.

I didn't read. I'm watching Hacks. It ended. It ended. I'm watching Hacks. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. It ended. Please just tell me that they're doing that old-school thing of dropping episodes every week, and that's why, and not that the series was six episodes long.

I couldn't tell you.

And it didn't end in any special way, except Jean Hackman, her character has this sister. We've never met her sister. Jean Hackman? What's her name?

I feel like vomiting.

Jean Smart. You put that in my brain. Jean Smart, the character. Remind me, I need to tell you something about Sophie Turner.

I I shall remind you.

She has this character, her sister, who's her nemesis, and we're always talking about her sister, always talking about her sister. We finally meet the sister, and you know who the actress is?

No.

It's that woman from Succession. Is her character's name. Who was fucking around with the younger brother, the older woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have on her Instagram, and it's called Joan.

Okay, I'm going to look. But I just want to say, when you said you had to tell me something about Sophie Turner, I thought you meant offline, and I was excited, not like, let's circle back to this.

Like I spoke to Sophie Turner.

No, you found out some tea that you couldn't share on the show, but you wanted to tell me.

I saw her sharing it on her Instagram earlier in the week, and I meant to send it to you as question mark. When I think of all the people who could play Joan, the only person I think of is me, because seriously, it has to be a funny Jewish queen who Joan would have liked. And there's some funny Jewish women who I just know Joan would have fucking hated. I don't know, I don't see Sophie Turner. She's too perfect-looking. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, definitely. So now I'll let you know that Joan is an upcoming British six-part crime drama television series. Sophie Turner plays real-life character Joan Hannington, a figure known as the Godmother by certain aspects of the British criminal underworld. Paul Frift serves as producer, and the series is directed by Richard Laxton. So you I really need to be careful where you're getting your fake news.

Okay, my news was from her Instagram. What do you mean she's wearing a blonde short wig and it's called Joan.

She's playing a woman named Joan. And it's not Rivers, okay?

Oh, no. And by the way, she's standing in a jewelry display. It looks like... By the way, seriously, you guys, Go look at Sophie Turner's most recent Instagram. She's standing in a jewelry display that, I swear to God, looks like fucking QVC. She's got this short blonde Joan hair, and she's wearing a Joan outfit from the '80s.

No, you totally... I would see this, and I wouldn't think Now that you're saying it looks like it could be Joan Rivers, yeah, I see that. But if I just saw this out of Joan, I wouldn't be like, She's playing Joan Rivers. She's in a jewelry store, and it just says Joan.

Oh, my God. Okay, first of all, that's 100% on me. I misunderstood the entire thing, but I can't be the only one.

No, but it was also people in the comments. I saw those comments, too. You guys didn't talk about Sophie Turner playing Joan.

Yeah, that reminded me that I wanted to share with you how weird that was.

Yeah, and you have to just be careful, turtle. I'm so glad that, by the way, that she's not playing Joan because she would have been the complete wrong casting. Horrible. Which is why she wasn't cast as Joan Rivers. And it's important how we make that distinction.

No, crisis averted. Yeah. Okay. So I guess I don't have anything to tell you about Sophie Turner.

I guess you don't, but the show sounds good. And I love Sophie Turner on the CW. Bring back the CW. So do I.

I agree. The CW quite literally raised us. That and Pantano's Eatery.

Yes. And I wonder if that Kim Kardashian show is going to be on the CW.

Oh, do you have it as a story? Because then I want to talk about it now, but the Kardashian's preview that Chipsy Rose Blanchard is in it.

Not that as a story, but we do have a Kardashian story so we could save it because we could also talk- Well, no. It has to do with the new season, so we could just talk about the new season.

Okay, because I have some harsh thoughts. I think save it for that.

Okay. Save it for that because also that story, it's going to need more meat.

Okay. Yeah, it's lacking.

No, it's not lacking. It's interesting, but how much is there to say?

Well, let's dive in because we also have dear toosters today, so the girlies are in need, and I don't want to make them wait any longer.

Sounds good to me.

Oh, wait. But before we do, let me remind everyone, there's 11 tickets left collectively to our live shows this summer. Jackie and I are doing four shows at the Beacon Theater, June 27th, June 28th, August first, and August second at the Beacon Theater in New York City. There are a few seats left, so I would get those now. They're available, general on sale, public, anyone can buy. And then we're also doing four at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts Center. I believe one of the shows still has tickets left. Perhaps it's the 17th. But just head over to thetoastpodcast. Com/tour to get your tickets. I imagine by next week, all the tickets will be gone, hopefully for us. So get them. This is your reminder.

Today's episode is also brought to you by GNC. Glp medications are taking the world by storm, helping many, like myself, transform their lives through weight loss. For me, life on GLP-1s After GLP-1s, required a bunch of products. All of those products I got from GNC, they are keeping me well, taking supplements, stay on top of my supplement game, making sure after GLP-1 medications that I'm eating a lot of proteins. That's protein bars, snacks filled with proteins, protein shakes. Now that my appetite is back, I have to be a lot smarter about what I'm putting into my body and shopping at GNC and making sure I have all of those products fully stocked at home has been immensely helpful in my post-GLP-1 journey.

They have yummy multivitamin powders. It can help with any side effects. It can boost your gut health, help with constipation. Constipation was one of those things.

The white jar is for really dry skin. I use that in the winter when my skin is really crusty and musty. And then the blue one is for combo skin. So right now my skin is not super dry, so I don't need that intense day or night cream. But I really like the blue one. I wear it under my makeup. It's the moisturizer I put on before foundation. And at night, it's the 24/7 moisture. It's such a great product. I love all of the Tula products because they don't have crazy fragrance because they're made clean.

Our first story, Cassie Ventura has broken her silence after the Ditty abuse footage surfaces. She posted a lengthy statement to her Instagram thinking, For all the love and support From her family, friends, and strangers, and those that she has yet to meet, she said, The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic violence is the issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously. My only ask is that everyone open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people. Don't cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you.

I feel like we didn't even talk about how when this video came out, How much she feel. Yeah, how horrifying. This probably wasn't even the worst thing she experienced, but a great tragedy and trauma of your life is blasted out. She didn't put this video out. She didn't choose to share this. It was shared by someone else. And we don't know. And that's the weirdest part. Who leaked this?

And why now? And how long did they have it? It's suspicious. How long did they sit on it? The whole thing is so smelly.

But so now everyone believes you, and now you're being believed and lifted up. But it took the worst, most violent moment in your life, maybe, for people to believe it. And you have to... How How many people saw that without your consent?

She's been telling people that this is what happened. She was suing him, and still, he was going to parties and big man on campus.

She was a grifter, and she was a gold digger.

It wasn't all said and done until we had to see it. But why can't you just believe someone when they're telling you that this has happened to them?

No, it's disgraceful. I can't get over this story. That's just one of those videos that will stick with me till the day I die. It was so horrible. I wish I didn't watch it. The hate I have in my heart for this man, knows no bounds. I keep trying to say things about him on the show, but there are no words. The words that come to mind they're a low-life piece of shit, but I still don't even feel like that's really grasping it. Oh my God, did you read the comments on his video? No. So many people being like, We forgive. It's not on you.

Excuse?

Did he kick you in the hallway and throw a vase at you? We don't give a fuck if you forgive him. Why don't you shut the fuck up?

But we don't forgive, really. Oh, that too. So who are those people?

I'm going to look at the comments. The comments were just delusional.

268,000 comments.

That's so crazy.

Oh, my God.

Read some that you say.

Yeah, the first one. Guys, stop blaming. I feel bad even giving voice to this, but people should know. You think you just see that video and then, oh, but it's really not even like that. From a woman, Guys, stop blaming. They was in relationship more than 10 years. Why she didn't leave him if it was so terrible for her. We never know the real truth. Never judge. And then someone else wrote this, People say she stayed, but do you see what that man did to her when she tried to leave? Exactly.

No, literally. The comments were so crazy, stupid. Hate. I don't forgive. I will never forget. And you literally... This is where I love cancel culture. Let's go. Let's fucking go. Where's the energy?

Yeah.

You're canceled. I'm a big counselor now, okay? Diddy.

I'm glad she's doing okay. She's also married now, so I hope that all is going well for her and that good things come her way and only good things.

Wishing her well.

Wishing her well, truly.

Truly.

Are you ready for our next story, which will also be a bit of The Kardashian. Season 5 is coming to Hulu soon, so the premiere is coming out. There's teasers for this season. One thing is that Courtney Kardashian finally opened up about the super rare fetal surgery that she had during her pregnancy. Courtney Kardashian Barker is opening up about a scary moment in her life during the Season 5 premiere of The Kardashian. Oh, I guess it's out now because today's Thursday, and they drop it at midnight in the most annoying fashion. But in the premiere, she spoke about the emergency fetal surgery she received last summer, ahead of welcoming baby Rocky 13. She describes how she had a scan at home right before her husband Travis was leaving for his Blink 182 tour. She said, The doctor who will come to the house to do the scan is a high-risk doctor, really detailed and throw-up, looking for everything. Something caught his eye where he wanted me to see a couple of specialists, and I had to go in for fetal surgery where they do surgery on the baby, which was terrifying. She said that she was home the night before the surgery, which she admits was stressful.

At that point, Travis was out of the country, but he came back. She said, The timing of it was miraculous. That saved everything. I just feel so grateful that you know how everything played out and for the doctors that really helped make the best decisions that really saved our baby. The doctor was like, That was a trauma, and I want you guys to be able to take a second and know that that was really traumatic. In her confessional, she talks about how she relied on her superpower to get her through the stress of surgery. She said, There's some superpower that I have that in emergency situations, I get really calm. Then right when we left, I was like, Okay, I could take a deep breath. I could cry. I could get it out. Then for the rest of her pregnancy, she was on bedrest because the surgery had created a small hole in her amniotic sac so that they could operate on the baby. She couldn't drive for the rest of her pregnancy, and she could only stand for 20 minutes at a time.

I didn't know you could do surgery on a baby that was in the belly.

Yeah, I've seen some really interesting things. There are sometimes babies will be diagnosed with a condition in utero. There are these experimental surgeries now where they go in, they operate on the baby in the womb, and then they put the baby back in to finish cooking in there.

Wait, they take it out? I don't know.

Well, it's attached to the cord, but I don't know where the baby is while they're operating.

But there's really- She's giving me the willies.

No, but it's really promising medical advances, like Life-changing stuff.

I totally forgot about this mystery, when Courtney was hospitalized pregnant, which is so scary. Then she obviously didn't share what was going on. I totally forgot. So great that we can talk about it now. Baby's born, baby's good. Tg.

Yeah. And Her doctor had said it's a super rare thing that happened. It wasn't because of her age. It wasn't because of anything that she did. It's just something that can happen, and they caught it at the exact right time.

It's giving cerclage.

It is, but that wasn't fetal surgery. I feel like people might think, Oh, is that what happened? That's not what happened to me.

I didn't have- No, you had surgery on your cervix.

I had surgery on me. There was no- The baby. In the sac.

Yeah. Well, I just read Deep in Copperhead. You know he was born while still in the sac.

Oh, no, I didn't know that. Yeah, water is a big theme in the Yes, it is. The Ocean.

Another thing from the Kardashian's that I wanted to talk about, people were shook. Gipsy Rose either made an appearance last night or was making an appearance in the season. She meets Kim or whatever. I just feel like that's really lame. Jim Z Rose is... And I love... We stand. She's just become a millennial thing in culture, a meme, almost. And so the Kardashian is hopping onto it a little late.

You don't think she's meeting... I haven't seen it yet, but I did see that she's there. You don't think she's meeting Kim as part of criminal justice reform stuff?

No, I don't. I don't know. That's a good call. But no, I don't. I think they're just- You think they're just girly-swirlying? I feel like they do that a lot for story lines, like when they met Nori's Black Book.

Right. No, but I feel like the connection about criminal justice is there.

Yeah, for sure. I don't know.

Well, we'll have to watch. I also wanted to say, and I kept meaning to bring it up on the show this week, but it's not really a story. The trailers that have come out, the season looks really good, and I'm excited to watch, and I'm giving it a chance. Are you holding space for it as well?

I haven't really been watching it over the last couple of years, but that's more so, I think, me distancing and stopping enjoying so much reality TV. For me, with reality, I was watching everything. And now it's like the cream rose, and I have my shows.

Yeah. Okay.

And some shows didn't survive, Kardashian's.

I feel like there was a season in there that I didn't enjoy, but I'm We're definitely all caught up. And of course, I've got to see my girl, Kylie, see what's going on with her. But there also seem to be interesting dynamics in this season. Kim and Chloe are fighting bad.

Are they? Yeah.

The girls are fighting.

About what?

And then also, I want to see Courtney in her pregnancy journey. Yeah, I'm frigging watching. And Kendall even teased a little bit of tea. She did? Yeah, she said that I have some tea for you guys.

I'm telling you, it's going to be about her horse.

Claudia, it's literally going to be nothing, but I'll be there. I'm watching. I think Summerhouse is on today.

No, it's going to be like this. It's going to be like this. I have some tea for you guys. I'm starving. It's going to be something so silly.

It's going to be lukewarm tea, but that's why we love her. And I will be watching TV tonight ever since my book has been ruined. And Summerhouse is on, my favorite show. Shio.

I keep doing that. I don't like that. It's the second thing I've been doing all week. I've been saying four-letter sentences and then turning it into an acronym. All week? I didn't even get for it, but I'm self-actualizing. I don't think it's funny or good content, and I can do better.

Claudia, you've been doing it for years.

No, no, no, no, no, He wasn't doing it. When I do it with funny things, that's funny.

You and Ben together do it the most. Ben loves it.

Yeah, by the way, I do blame Ben. He's like, Should we have a really big dinner and RbD? It doesn't bother me yet, so keep going. No, it's annoying me. I think I'm funnier, better, and more creative than that. Okay.

I don't think it's unfunny, uncreative, and unbetter yourself.

I do. Okay.

You don't want to have an RbD, though?

Oh, I always want to have an RbD. I'm an RbD-G, a really big dinner girly.

That is literally so you and Ben, should we have an RbD?

I know. No, by the way, Ben started this acronym thing like, years ago when I remember thinking it was so stupid and annoying. And now I am Ben, and not going to lie, it's an amazing way to talk. It's super fun. But I could see somebody listening to this podcast and being like, Stop.

That's rude.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Did you see Sebastian Manescalco's Instagram story?

Speaking of things that weren't rude, yes.

Speaking of things that weren't rude. I wanted to send a little thank you gift to everybody who co-hosted with me because it's a lot of work, and I appreciate them. I actually was inspired by a TikTok ad. I didn't know that... It's a famous bakery, Levan Bakery. Levan. No, I don't think so. I think it's Livaine.

Livaine.

Actually, I think you're right. Whatever. It's my most famous chocolate chip cookie. They have three locations. I didn't realize they were nationally shipping.

Worldwide, nationwide.

Nationwide is on your side.

666. 666.

They had a TikTok paid ad. Did you know you could send? I was like, No fucking way. I'd been wanting to send something. I'm like, Okay, that's what I'm going to send. I sent everybody cookies, and everybody was just dying over them. But Sebastian was just taken with my generosity and made an Instagram story about it, saying that he's been on a lot of podcasts, but he's never gotten a gift, and that he was just going to go around his house and distribute the cookies to his family, pour himself a cold glass of milk, and enjoy his evening. And seriously, made my day. I watched it right before bed, and then I had a dream about Sebastian Manescalco.

Oh, what dream?

Because I also saw... It went viral on TikTok. The lead singer of Creed was sitting front row at his concert, and he was like, Are you the lead singer of Creed? And he was like, Yeah. He's like, Oh, my God. I fucking love you. So he was just in my brain. And I think we were in Vegas Like at a show or something. I don't remember. I was also in an episode of Hacks in my dream because I'd watched Hacks before bed. Got it.

Yeah. Okay. Well, new season of Kardashian's. Enjoy. Swirlies. Swirly Girlies. Next up, JLo and Simu Liu shut down a reporter at Netflix's Atlas Junket over Ben Affleck Divorce Question. So JLo and Simu Liu are in a new movie together on Netflix called Atlas. They were doing a press junket in Mexico City, and one of the reporters started asking about her marriage, just in a really uncouth way.

And he literally was not able to finish his sentence. I think he was nervous, first of all. Second of all, I don't think English was his first- He should be nervous.

That's a It was a crazy thing to ask.

English wasn't his first language, and it was a crazy thing to ask. So he was like, Do you have anything to say about the rumor? And everybody was like, Shut the fuck up.

Simu was like, Okay, we're not doing that. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Come on, don't come in here with that energy. And she, if you watch her, she's very com cool and collected, and then she eventually says, You know better than that. I feel like that's her way, for me, of shutting down the rumors.

Oh, you think that means to chill together? No.

Do you think she means, You know better than that? You know better than to believe tabloy trash, or You know better than that- You know better than to ask me that fucking question. Than to ask me that question in a professional setting.

Yeah, that's what she meant, not You know better than to believe rumors. Jlo and Ben Affleck are not together, and seriously, it's crazy.

Is she wearing her ring? I feel like she's still wearing her ring, too.

I feel like she's still fighting for this marriage in their personal life. She's a fighter. Yeah.

I respect that, and I hope they work it out.

Who do you feel like is JLo's great love? Which of JLo's partners, which of the seven husbands of Jennifer Lopez, do you feel was the one? Because it was obviously Marc Anthony. No.

Yes. No. Big time no.

Can you see that?

What do you think? Casper Smart? No. Ben Affleck.

No.

Ben Affleck.

I don't think so. Ben Affleck.

Or a yet to be determined person, but no one in her past.

I think Marc Anthony was the one for her. Maybe that's just the Tostada in me, my two Latin queens and kings being together. But they just made sense to me as a family unit. Granted, I thought it was definitely a mismatch in terms of looks, not to be rude.

Right. And so you would have them be together again?

But once they got together and they were a family, that's the father of her children. I don't know. I saw it.

You know who I literally didn't even consider until right this second?

Wait, who did she date that I forgot about?

Aarod.

Oh, by the way, sorry. Aarod was the man of her life. That was it.

He should have been, but he couldn't be the man that she needed him to be. He couldn't man up.

1,000 %. Actually, wow, it's so funny when I think about... Because we've been talking a lot about JLo's career recently, from at a glance, high as low as... And I forget, a real, real high for her was her getting together with Aarod. Made a lot of sense. I think, again, people loved that she was with another Latin king. They were so on the same level, financially, looks, career, everything. And that was also a good time for JLo, professionally. That was hustlers. She was finally getting her respect. That was, I think, Super Bowl, was it?

Yeah.

Or maybe it was coming to an end at the Super Bowl. It was just a really good time in her life. And I agree, he should have done better because that was That should have been it.

I forgot about him. I forgot about him, too, which is so crazy.

Yeah.

Okay, well, are you ready for our next story? Our fourth story?

That's more of a question for you.

I feel ready. I do. Okay. Bethany Frankl is slamming the elitist and exclusionary Chanel after she's denied store entry. So Bethany Frankl ranted against ultra-luxurious Chanel after the store allegedly denied her entry into one of its retail locations in Chicago because she did not have an appointment. The railhouses of New York City-Oh my God, that literally happened to be last week.

That's not a crime.

Well, she didn't say it's a crime, but she's slamming them. She explained in a video posted to her Instagram on Wednesday that she showed up on a whim and was immediately stopped at the door by a security guard. She said, I'm like, No, I don't have an appointment. I have a credit card. I have a bag of Garrett's popcorn. A basic bitch purse. Am I not allowed to come in at 3:54 on a Tuesday? Evidently not, she said.

Okay, when me, Shannon, and Taylor all went drinking and shopping, we literally walked into Chanel. There was a line. I I was like, Oh, my God, they have this new thing. We're like, You have to have an appointment. I was literally so drunk, and I was like, Let's just pretend we have an appointment. I was like, Hi. No, Shannon did it. I made Shannon do it. She was like, Hi, we have an appointment? They were like, With who? We made up a name. We were like, Michael. They were like, What time? The store was closing, so it was 5:45. We were 5:30. We were a little late. They were like, We don't have a Michael here. We don't take appointments past 4:30. Get the fuck out of here. They kicked us out, too.

Yeah, and you guys were dressed nice. Certainly Shannon was. Excuse me? Well, that's to Shannon effect. I'm just cite things that you said.

I, too, was dressed nice. I was wearing a Roni Cobo bodysuit.

So just to say to Bethany, it wasn't about how you were dressed. You have to have an appointment. And that's not Chanel's fault. That's crime's fault.

It's true. They don't want people in the store now because people were running and stealing. And also, I think it's a COVID thing. It must have done well for sales that people required a appointment. But also, going into a store, it's definitely annoying, but there's just benefits. Going into a store not being able to find a sales associate to help you. That's annoying. It must have worked for them in some way or the other.

And I don't know. It definitely works in the sense that people aren't coming in and stealing, and that definitely is going to help your bottom line.

Also converting sales, for sure. If you have an appointment, you feel a little bit more pressure to buy something. You're serious about buying something. I really can't with Bethany. Bethany is constantly searching for victimhood and relatability on her social media because she's had a lot of success being the relatable beauty guru, being like, You don't need this. I can afford it, so I'll try it, but you poor The person, you don't need it. That's her whole shtick. This is her way of being relatable while shopping at Chanel.

I'm wearing flip flops. No, she said the behavior was elitist and exclusionary because she was wearing a sweating T-shirt and not dolled up or looking wealthy. But like you just said, you can be wearing dressed to the nines, and you still can't go in if you don't have an appointment. And that's literally not the fault of these retailers, that this is the environment and the climate that they have to work with and the rules that they have to put in place.

It also has nothing to do with you or what you wore or what you were carrying. There are just rules. Follow the rules. You need an appointment to shop. Did I start crying?

What I'm saying is if you want to be mad, you can be mad. You should be able to walk into a store and go shopping. It's a free fucking country. And you've been able to do that probably for most of her life, 98% of her life. Things have changed now because the climate is so bad and so unsafe. But that's not Chanel's fault. So take your eye or somewhere else.

My ire is with Bethany's content. It's so victimy. I can't.

I don't see her stuff.

She's four-minute girl shopping at Chanel. I see it all the time.

Yeah.

And I really can't. It's just genuinely not for me. I think I'm a little too media literate. I see through it. Okay.

Okay, okay.

Yeah.

Now, are you ready for our next story?

And now you'll see why no other sponsors couldn't have sponsored The Fifth Story.

Let's hear it.

Because the fifth story is about a developing story that's been going viral this week that's become one of my favorites.

Okay.

Claudia, we're going to the Four Seasons, Orlando.

Yes, we are.

So the family of TikTok's Four Seasons, Orlando Baby reveals the story behind the one-year-old's viral moment. Oh my God.

I cackled.

I love this story so much. The family spoke to People magazine, of course, because that's where they took their towel as they should, and talked about the backstory behind this video and how and why Baby Kate was so excited to go to the Four Seasons, Orlando.

Right. Am I wrong, but was that an extremely advanced way of speaking for a baby that size?

You're not wrong. It definitely is. The mom addresses this in the interview that she gave. So the baby is about one, and they are not holding conversations or anything. But she said, this is one of the things that her baby is definitely very cognitively aware, but this is one of the things that she says, me. That's one of her words. Got it. Because she's competing with her big sister, she to shoot her hand up first. But no, these are very advanced developments for a baby.

It's literally giving Elwoods, me.

No, also people are saying it's giving Boss Baby.

Yes, it is.

So the viral TikTok video featuring the shockingly savvy tot has garnered over 40 million views. Despite many stitches and edits of the video, it should be noted that this is completely real. The baby is a baby girl, by the way, and her family spoke to People magazine. So apparently, the baby's aunt, it's always the auntie, shared the TikTok video of her niece without even telling the family. It was just supposed to be for the family group chat because the family was going like the-On a trip to the Four Seasons, Orlando.

Right.

And they wanted more family members to come. So they took a phone video for the family being like, who wants to go to Four Seasons, Orlando? So she sent it to the family group chat. The Auntie put it on TikTok, and they didn't even know about it until people started texting them being like, You're going viral. So she talks about the environment that fostered this video. She said, My husband's shirt is unbuttoned. Kate was in her diaper. This was before bath time. There was really no recording this multiple times. And that's why they're in the state that they are. They said, After dying laughing from watching the clip, we decided The Auntie decided to post it on TikTok to her 50 followers.

Oh my God.

So, so funny.

People are comparing it- Wait, also, I saw somebody post on Twitter, and it's so true. There was a time where this baby would have been on Ellen.

One thousand %.

And that's why we're watching it on People magazine, but it should be on Ellen.

Yeah. So people were also left wondering, is actually, they are wondering if this is a fully conscious genius baby, or is me, perhaps, just a favorite word from her. So the mom said, It's in the middle. She won't say me to everything. It legitimately has to be something she recognizes and wants to do. She's been to the Four Seasons before. She does recognize certain things, and she does say me.

I don't know. The video is just perfect for the viral moment because Four Seasons, Orlando. It's just like, who wants to go to Four Seasons, Rome? Me. I just wasn't expecting Four Seasons, Orlando. No, and these-Not that there's anything wrong with Orlando.

No, and people have now... Four Seasons Four Seasons Orlando is obviously going viral. People are sharing pics of it. It looks gorgeous.

It's gorgeous.

And this family better have a lifetime supply of Four Seasons Orlando.

What they have done for Four Seasons Orlando brand equity is seriously, a billion dollars I would never. 40 million organic impressions, probably more than that, given how many places it's been reposted. I would say 100 million.

There's no amount of money in the world that could foster this type of excitement for a hotel.

No, it's insane. I'm so happy. It was the cutest, purest. I saw it on its way to being viral. It just came across my TikTok as a video with a couple of million. Oh, my God, I showed it to Ben. I was like, How crazy is this? And then we just moved on with our lives. And then I started seeing it everywhere, and I'm upset. Me. It's so funny. It's so pure. I love this story.

I love this story. And we always are knocking the Internet because 99.9% of the time, it's toxic waste. But this is the 0.1% of why we stay.

Right. This is why we're here.

Plus the toast.

Of course. And Dear Toasters.

I'm ready.

Jacks and Claire. I'm in desperate need of help from the two of you. My fiancé and I are getting married in June, and he's a total peajawn. Last night, things were getting steamy on the couch, and I mentioned that we should go upstairs. I I said something along the lines of, 'Carrie me up there. ' But his response shook me. He said, 'I don't think I can. ' He's recently been going through some health issues that has kept him from the gym for the last three months. He meant it as if he felt he isn't strong enough and not a slight towards me, but I couldn't help but take it that way, and I immediately got defensive and started crying. He kept apologizing, saying he didn't mean it like that. How am I supposed to feel, though? Am I being dramatic, feeling so sensitive about his comment, or do I have a right to feel angry? Of course, tomorrow's the day I'm going in for my final dress You're not being a baby. But I have such low confidence now, and I'm almost considering canceling. Am I being a baby, or do I have a right to feel this way?

Hold space. Two things can be true at the same time.

You're not being a baby. You're not being a baby. No, I'm sorry.

You want to cancel your dress fitting?

You're not being a baby. You're being illogical. When I was reading this, I was like, Oh, my God, we have to kill this man. Seriously. But there's literally a reason. It's not like he said, You're fat. You know he's going through the health issue. He knows that he hasn't been able to work out in three months. There's a reason why he can't carry you up the stairs. That isn't the way you look. You're not being a baby. You're not being a baby, you're being illogical.

Yeah. At first, I was ready to be like, I don't know.

I was sharpening my pitchfork.

Upside down. I think I can. I think I can. I can understand in the moment being bruised by that because it definitely takes the... That just brings you back down to Earth real fast.

I can also understand that, not taking... That can just take the libido out of any... The sexiness has gone. We're not having sex.

Yeah, but once you sit down and think about it, it shouldn't hurt your feelings that much, and certainly not to the point that you want to cancel your dress fitting. I feel like maybe there are some underlying insecurities within yourself that have nothing to do with that, that this just set you off, but it's not isolated and the only thing that's making you upset. I would think about that.

And I would also just... The one thing we have in this world is reality and logic. And this man gave you a full-blown I don't think he's lying. This is 100% the reason why he couldn't carry you up the stairs. It has nothing to do with you. So savor that. It's not you. It's literally him. And we know that to be a fact. Let the facts Trump your feelings here.

I wonder what my husband would say if I asked him to carry me up the stairs.

Oh, my God. Ben would do it, and then he would seriously put me down, and he would be pretending that he's not huffing and puffing and sweating. He He would literally have a couple of drips of sweat on his forehead. He would be like... And he would pretend like it was totally normal and sweet because he's so sweet like that.

I don't know. It's also a crazy request.

I agree, but I think it's also just we're not those girls I think there are girls like that. And also, it depends who are you married to. My husband doesn't really lift weights all the time. He's Jewish.

Yeah, but is this like, Yeah, your husband carries you up the steps. Not when you've just bought the house, But on a Wednesday.

Yeah, it's not like... Well, they are engaged. They're obviously in this romantic time. Maybe we're too jaded. I don't think so. I think- Wait.

Really crazy. Do you remember? It's a crazy expectation to them be upset about. Do you remember what Jeff- And I hope that brings you peace. I hope that you're not... It's not crazy in your relationship that that didn't happen.

Okay, wait. Do you remember when Jeff Bezos got- Of course.

I know what you're going to say.

When Jeff Bezos' text messages were leaked, they were really cringy, and the tosters did something really funny. They copy and pasted those text messages and sent them to their partners to see how their partners would react. And the responses were so funny. Seriously, everybody go home and ask your husband or boyfriend. I'm talking, I think, hetero here. Ask your husband or a boyfriend to carry you up the stairs and see what he says.

Yeah. And if he's like, Why? Just be like, Because it's sweet. And then see what he says. Try and give him a reason why. Because she had established- Because it's romantic. Yeah, it's sweet and cute.

I'm going to ask Ben, or if you don't have stairs, just to the bedroom because I don't have stairs.

Yeah.

Let us know. Sound off in the comments. What happens? Okay, this next one is tough. Ready?

But go to your dress fitting, even though probably already happened.

Go to your dress fitting. Hello, fa'n law. Long time to see you here, and I need some serious advice. My boyfriend of 15 years has started to make me raise my eyebrows. I'm a travel nurse, and I have been for three years. Because of this, my boyfriend and I share our locations. Twice now, I have noticed that he has turned his location off. When I asked him about it, he has no idea how it turned off, but I feel like we all know it's not that simple just to stop sharing your location with someone. He has mentioned before that he doesn't like the phone tracking him, so I feel like it's deaf to him turning off the location. For context, we are an amazing match. We like the same things. We love spending time together. I come home multiple times a month when I'm a traveling nurse. We aren't married because I'm not into the idea of it in general. I have caught him commenting on girls' Instagrams twice, telling them that they are pretty. Both times, it was a blowout fight, but that's the extent of any inappropriate behavior. It was a what? A blowout fight?

A blowout fight.

Oh, okay. You said blowout fight.

It was a blowout fight, but that is the extent of any inappropriate behavior. Help, should I be suspicious?

Yeah.

I said this one's tough because I'm going to have to deliver a hard truth. I always feel like if you're writing in Tesla, you're never the problem. You're not the problem. But I think you're ignoring a lot. If Ben, seriously, and this is the same, you've been together longer than Ben and I have been together. Just because Ben and I are married and you guys are not, doesn't make it any different. You're in a long partnership with this person, left a comment on a girl, You look pretty. Are you okay? Seriously, jail. Jail, lock him up and throw away the key. So not only did that happen twice, now this location thing, you travel a lot. I feel like this is seven huge red flags that you've just been ignoring. When you're right, We're a great match, I feel like you're lying to yourself and you're lying to us. That's what I feel.

It's definitely fishy, and you need to find proof. Follow him, I don't know. Follow Find a way, go through his phone. But I feel like when you're at the place of going through someone's phone- All hope is lost. Not all hope is lost, but you need to stop and ask yourself, What are you doing? I don't trust my partner.

Well, you don't because you wrote into us. You're correcting your suspicions. You're not being dramatic. I think you're not even being suspicious enough. I think you're afraid to admit that there could be something seriously wrong.

Yeah.

Now, of course, yes, anything can be explained away. Is there a chance at all as well? Yes.

No, and he's like, He's going to the jewelry store to buy you an engagement ring, so that's why he's turning off his location. Yeah, there's a chance.

Yeah, there's a chance, but let's figure out. The world doesn't work like that.

I'm just saying, there's always the chance that it's not bad. Or maybe he's, I don't know, going to a party that you're not invited to. Something like not that he's cheating on you.

Okay. I hate to do this. And if he's...

By the way, if he's going to parties that you're not invited to, that's also bad. Maybe he's going to a friend's house who you don't like. Maybe he's going to guys' night. Maybe Maybe he's going to a poker thing and doing some illegal gambling. That's bad, too. But that's not cheating.

But it's still a breach of trust. Yes.

No, there's still an issue there, but it might not be the big Cajuna.

But how does she find it out? Because he's not being honest when she's brought things up. I have a crazy idea. Air tag in the car.

Air tag in the car. Follow him. By the way, I just want to say- But it's when she travels because she's a travel nurse. I want to say, I know that we're an amazing podcast, but we have our limitations. And this one, go listen to Sophia with an F. I feel like she knows how to catch him.

She could totally help you.

She knows how to catch him.

A thousand %. I like the air tag in the car. I would put it in the pocket.

Sometimes Apple alerts you, Hey, there's an air tag with you because it's used for various purposes. Oh my God, they do. Yeah.

Oh my God, they don't want us to be happy. You know what you could do?

Okay, maybe this is better. Leave your Airpods in his car. That way, it's like an accident, but you can track your Airpods.

Okay, but they will try to connect to his phone.

No, he'll know that your Airpods in the car. Like, Oh, she left her Airpods here, but she won't think you're tracking him.

You don't think he'll think that- I don't think he'll put it together.

I think he'll see it as innocent. Oh, she left her Airpods in my car.

I love that. Very Sarah and Jirami. Laura and Jirami.

Yeah. Okay, but There are girls who are really good at this, so you could catch him.

You can. Sound off in the comments. What's a helpful way? And also that if you get caught, you can't look crazy. It needs to be explained away innocently. Like, Oh, my God. I left my AirPods in your car when I borrowed it. How weird.

Yeah.

Sound off in comments, girls. Let's help her out. Ready for our third and final? Mm-hmm. Hey, guys. Long-time listener, first-time writer. I'll get right to it. My boyfriend of 10 months is going away with his family for Memorial Day weekend and didn't tell me nor invite me.

He was talking to some of his- Your boyfriend of how long?

Ten months. Okay. He was talking to some of his friends, and they asked about his trip coming up, and I literally knew nothing about it. My boyfriend told everyone his family and some of their friends are going to visit his brother who I've met out of state. He didn't acknowledge your trip, talked to me about it afterwards, and for some reason, it really hurt to find all of this out two weeks before, and that I wasn't invited. I want to talk to him, but I don't want to sound like a crazy, naggy girlfriend. I would have loved to spend a fun weekend away with him and his family, but it also feels like he did not want me to go. Am I reading too much into this 10 months in? Am I a stage five clinger? Or am I justified in my annoyance? Is there a conversation to be had or should I just forget it. Any advice is appreciated. I will hang up and listen.

It's fine that he doesn't want you to go. He's allowed to 10 months in- Have a trip with his family. That's your boyfriend. He's allowed to go on a trip with his family. You guys aren't a package deal yet. That's fine. He's doing Memorial Day with his people, and you're the girlfriend. Maybe it's a no-ring, no-bring situation. Who knows? What's weird is that he didn't tell you his plans. He's not communicating well enough. You guys are in a partnership, and you're hoping to build on that, I'm sure. You don't just make plans for a holiday weekend. Don't tell someone and leave them there to go fuck off.

I feel like you weren't invited, whether it was him wanting to be with his family. His family was no girlfriends.

And there's no issue with the fact that you are not invited. I have no issue with that.

I have no issue either. It is fair. People are allowed to do things with their family. I think that that being the consensus, he got flicked. He doesn't sound like a bad person. I think he literally didn't know how to tell you that there's this trip you're not invited to. And maybe he thought, just by blurting it out in front of everyone, that would be his way of telling you. I could see a boy being really dumb and thinking this was a good way to let you know. Like, Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm going out of town. He doesn't sound like an evil person. He sounds a little immature. Maybe he needs to learn to communicate better. I would say, being By the way, don't make it that you're upset that you're not going on the trip, because really, it's fair. It is. Would it be nice for them to invite you? Yes. Is it totally wrong that they didn't? No. I'd be like, By the way, I didn't know you were going away for Memorial Day, and that's totally fine. But why didn't you tell me? Because I thought maybe we would do something now.

I don't have plans. I feel like maybe it's a little late for me. Can you just explain why you didn't tell me? Yeah. And he'll probably be like, Honestly, we're scared.

Yeah, that's just immaturity. And that's how he learns to be a better communicator and partner. It's learning on the job, but it's annoying for you, especially Memorial Day weekends in two days now.

No. And it's so a type of trip you do with your boyfriend. It's a summery thing. Yeah.

No, but you need to make sweet plans now. Do not sit home alone. You need to be like, Oh, my God. You need to be like, Oh, yeah. He doesn't need to... I wouldn't even say Now I'm going to be home and I didn't get to make plans because you didn't tell me. I would be cooler than that.

Yeah, I agree. You need to seriously- Find someone's trip to piggyback off of a boat- Spare no expense.

Boat to get your ass on. Shake your titties on a boat. Even if you just sit back, back row on someone else's road trip somewhere, you're going somewhere. You're not sitting at home waiting for him.

No, you're not. You're going to have the best fucking time.

And he's going to have FOMO watching you. And then he's going to be like, Oh, I want to do things with her.

Exactly. She seems like a fun-loving gal.

Not, Oh, she's sitting home alone waiting for me to come home. I can't wait for the conversation we're going to have.

No, can't wait to get home to this for this and a punum.

You cannot for this on a punum.

You cannot be a sad long face. Be bright, Oh, how fun. It's summer. I want to go with the girls to the lake.

Have that conversation about communication and be like, You don't have to be scared to tell me you're allowed to be with your family. Just let a girl know.

So I can make plans because I matter, too.

But thankfully, I made last minute plans that are amazing. I'm covered. And there's a nice place for you.

I had said no to five invitations because I figured we'd be doing something together, but now there were not. I'll just go to one of those.

Something super fabulous.

Yeah, and expensive and luxurious.

Yeah.
