Good morning, millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and congrats. We made it. We made it to the. It's Thursday, right? Oh, my God. Don't look at me like I'm crazy. Oh, my God. I thought for sure. I just, like, imagined it was Thursday.

No, I wasn't thinking. You're crazy. I was thinking, what day is it? I had no idea.

Now, I know this is, like, a personal feeling, and maybe I'm not speaking for the whole world, but I feel like the pace in which this week moved was so fair, you know? Like, it. It was doable, and it was manageable. It wasn't super, like, crazy stretched out. It wasn't one of those weeks where it's like, oh, my God. It felt like every day came. I did what I had to do, and nothing major, you know, ruined my week or made my week. It was a very normal week, and I think normalcy is grossly underrated.

Fiona. I agree. What's crazy to think about is some weeks fly by, some weeks shag on, and objectively, they're all the exact same amount. No, but I know.

I think what's crazy is, like, the way that I'm describing my week. Somebody listening to this podcast has seriously had, like, the worst week of their life, and it's not like they can't believe it's not Sunday. Like, the way we experience the same periods of time so differently. That's crazy.

Well, ain't that the truth.

I have a couple of things to say. Oh. The first is, like, I'm gonna be that bitch Jackson. I have, like, kind of a major announcement tomorrow, and this. The fact that we haven't, like, been annoying people about it is, like, major. So tomorrow, tune into the show, because there's big news, sort of historic news, and sort of girly, swirly news. You know, I'll say that, fiona, I.

Agree with those points. And we could have been so annoying up until this point, and we worry, and we're just gonna be annoying for 24 hours, and I feel like that's.

So what do you think? The surprises.

So fair. Safer.

That's one.

Ben. So fair.

That's one. Speaking of Ben, so fair. I'm sorry I got to this. You know, I couldn't answer your call at first. I was on the phone with my lawyers. I don't know if you saw the good guys today. Did a merch launch. I did. And they are using a photo of me using my name and likeness to sell merchandise.

Excuse me.

And I just think that's funny.

Okay. Goodguys.com.

Let's see. No, no. On their instagram.

Oh, they're not selling a piece of merch with you on it.

No, no. I guess maybe I did make it sound like that. No, no, no. They're just, like, using a promotional photo of me for promotional use.

Okay, now I have to go. I have to see what's going on.

Featuring my name and likeness.

Good guys. Okay, guys. Of good.

Why you're having, like, I don't know why you're having such a hard time. What do you photo of me in the hat like to sell merch? Like, I don't know why.

Okay, yeah. Don't wear their, don't wear their hat.

Well, they'll be hearing from my lawyers.

Sorry. They will be hearing once again. Once again, screw sisterhood. You're wrong.

Okay, you know what? I'm kind of sick.

I, seriously, by the way, by saying this, if you wore their hat, if you wore their hat and they didn't, like, post a picture of you while they're trying to sell merch, you'd be like, why not me? Why not include me?

Honestly, we might have our second walk off in toast history. You have been so toxic lately. And seriously, I need to put some time on Zach, widen up calendar. Like, he and I need to chat about all the annoying things you do.

It's just, yeah, I really, they can't post your photo. And you know how anti ggs I am.

Are you?

Yeah.

Judas.

The number one.

Judy. Oh, Judy.

Oh, no, you're just looking for a fight.

Okay, first of all, listen for a.

She's pushing everyone away.

Why just me? I'm joining a good guy. Seriously, I'm leaving you high and dry here. You are so toxic, it's insane. First of all, this is a show where, like, we have a shtick about the good guy. So I was like, just doing the shtick. And now we're being serious. Like, now we're being serious.

Claudia, I was so ready to call the lawyers. I, first I thought they were selling a picture with your face on it. That's what you made it out.

Sorry that you, like, you don't understand the shtick we have going with us in the good guys. Like, sorry. Sorry that you don't get I invented. And so the fact that you don't get it and you just kind of, like, swapped and turned the tables. I mean, noted, noted.

All to say, don't buy good guys.

Exactly. And then the third thing I wanted to say, what is? Oh, just a reminder that my comedy special lean in is not available to watch for free on YouTube. So that's very exciting. You can search it on YouTube. It's called Claudia Ashre Lean in. Lean in, if you will. Perfect. Weekend plans. You've got big weekend plans.

I do have big weekend plans. I do. I do. Also, speaking of premium content, yesterday I dropped kind of a major feature film and it is my journey with sourdough. I have been vlogging for the last eight days, this sourdough endeavor, and I left it all in the vlog. What can I do, guys?

It was so funny.

Wild ride. It's so funny. I think it's pretty informative for anyone who is interested in sourdough. And I think if so many, so many toasters are sourdough, I was like.

I was shocked at like the fervor in the comment section being like, you have to zero out your scale. You don't use that much starter. Okay.

No. So much fervor, which I was so glad to see. So I got so many helpful tips and I'm really excited to be a part of the community. The community said that for a first loaf I did pretty darn ok. Like, your first is always going to be the worst and you're just figuring out the basics. So much so that this morning I saw that my starter was starting alive and well and I started another dough this morning. So we shall be having perhaps fresh bread tonight or.

Yeah, probably tonight I'm gonna have fresh bread for dinner.

I mean, all I've been eating for the last two days is my.

That sounds amazing. Yeah.

I don't know if that's like a good thing or a bad thing. I haven't been eating like a crazy amount, but like, I had a sandwich, I had a slice of toast with a little healthy egg salad. And I don't know if I'm eating too much. Getting too high on my.

That's sort of just like life, never knowing if you're eating too much or too little. I know for a fact that I ate too much at book club last night because we went out to dinner. Even though we usually cook, you know, the Bala busta book club, no one was really in the mood, so we went out to a kosher spot, not knowing. Usually we always go to the same place, la Marais fabulous steakhouse. And it's usually like busy, but never. We always make a reservation, but never to the point where, like, we're waiting. Last night, I think, was both NYU and Columbia graduation. So all the jewish students, you know, fleeing their institutions came to La Marais. We had to wait 30 minutes. I was, like, so annoyed. So by the time it was time to order, I was feeling feral. You know, that's, like, never a good place to be, like, grocery shopping or ordering when you're, like, rock bottom hunger. Yeah. I got a hamburger and a steak.

Yummy.

It was so good. Licked the plate clean. Regrets. Ask me how many I have, because I have zero.

None.

Not 1000. My God. Speaking of her housewives of Beverly Hills, did you see that viral video of Kyle Richards and the mouse?

Okay. The mouse.

The way I cackled.

First of all, mouse. Mouse girl. Hi, Mouse girl.

Her car literally became Miska Mooska, Mickey Mouse clubhouse.

Mouseker. Ready. Mouseker set. Here we go.

Can you explain to me, like, how the mouse was sort of, like, suspending suspended in air, like, up on her window?

That mouse looked straight out of a cartoon.

He was like, by the way, not only did it look, he was kind of adorable. And you guys know how I feel.

I guess it's those la mice. Like, they're on set, they're working.

They're literally professional living in the gutters, which is just filled with a green.

Juice, just like everything else. Like, the best looking mice go to LA. The best looking people, like, they're just a class above. And he literally looked ratatouille. A stock image mouse.

No. By the way, I'm so, like, he had a gorgeous smile and, like, perfect ears. I completely agree. And when I saw it, it wasn't the way I would normally react, like, seeing a mouse. I was like, oh, my God. I thought maybe it was a chipmunk.

Yeah. It took me a while to understand, like, what was gonna be happening in the video, because I just, like, saw it rogue. And she's filming her dash.

Yeah.

Like, what am I missing? What. Why is she, like, freaking out? But I don't know. She's screaming, I'm freaking out. I don't know why. And then she pan, and then something happens on her windshield. But it's like, what was happening before that that she was filming?

Maybe she saw the mouse run across her windshield and then whipped out her phone and started filming the windshield in the dashboard. But then the mouse was on her left, on the passenger, I mean, on the driver's side window. And I don't know. And seriously, like, Kyle Richards, I love, but she's not, like, a particularly funny person. It was the funniest thing I've probably seen all year long, especially when I went, if you go into the video, not knowing what you're looking at, and, like, you're like, why is this woman screaming? And then all of a sudden, you see the mouse. Peak comedy. Truly.

Yeah. That mouse, though, it was giving something I wasn't expecting.

The mouse had the markle sparkle. He really did charisma.

And I do feel bad for her. If that were me or if that.

Were you, I wouldn't even be able to stop shaking long enough to film. It would just have to be a story I told you guys, and you wouldn't believe, like, that. You would think I'm crazy. Like, the fact that she was able to compose herself enough to even film.

Well, she couldn't drive. Her leg was frozen.

Was it?

Yeah, she was frozen. She said, like, she couldn't even. Her. Her window. Her passenger window was down, and she was, like, too frozen to even put it.

Oh, my God. No, no, you. Like, I would be frozen, but I would protect myself. Like, you have to roll up your window.

No, really.

Wait. The passenger window or the driver window?

Pass.

Okay, but he was on the driver.

No. Yeah, he wasn't. There was a window in between them, but, like, he could have brought a friend. Comes around. Passenger side shot.

I know. Gravity wise, can mice crawl up a car? I thought they just, like, chilled on the floor. No, it was giving ratatouille. Remy ratatou. Ratatouille. The rat of my.

I'm sorry. That mouse is giving Mickey a run for his money.

You know, legend has it Mickey was actually created, like, inspired by a rat tatooey from Kyle Richards car.

Yeah, well, it wasn't a rat.

No, it was a mouse.

It was. He was so mousey. He looked like the mouse emoji. Yes, he looked like the emoji of a mouse.

He looks like those little mice from.

Looks like he was about to go, like, do mouse cursing Cinderella.

Like, the mice that helped her get dressed.

Yeah. Like, seriously, out of a fairy tale.

Storybook ending for Kyle Richards.

Is Kyle Richards a princess?

A princess.

Maybe that mouse was there to be her fairy godmother, and she missed it. Like, she missed the signs right in front of her.

Oh, my God. That was so funny. I'm so glad we brought that up. We also have, I feel, like, great stories. I think, like, a lot happened this morning, you know, that it ends with us. Trailer dropped. Are we talking about that?

What else are you thinking? Yes.

I don't know. I just, like, you know, the stories are good.

They're really good, and it's been a great week for the wicked trailer yeah, that was gonna be in, like, a trailer segment.

So we have a subset a and b for trailers.

We do have subset a and b.

So it's giving.

You know, it's a good day when there's a subset.

It's giving. Embarrassment of riches.

It is. And I do want to acknowledge the space that I'm in and be thankful for this bounty of stories this week. I feel like we've been in a really good place.

I love that. I also do want to say something I'm personally trying to do. I would like to stop saying it's giving. It's giving illiteracy. Honestly, it's giving. Like, you don't have words. I think I'm smarter and more well educated than to be using that phrase. It was fun for a minute on, like, TikTok talk, but to be using it in my everyday life, like, seriously, I'm better than that. And I think, seriously, join me. Join me up here. Like, let's all stop saying it. It's really dumb.

We had this conversation about a dick tock, different TikTok phrase. Maybe it was this. No, no, it was.

It was this. Ready? Oh, it was this colon.

Okay.

It's the blank for me.

Right? And now we need to. I'm down to let go of it's giving. My issue is that it's very illustrative, and it paints a picture, literally, of what something is. Giving is giving. And I have to get back to a place of, what did we say before it? What? How did I connote that feeling?

I think instead of, well, how did I just use it? It's giving. Illiterate. It reminds me of illiteracy.

Like, beyond. No, it reminds me. I know, but the good old.

Now I just feel seriously like an idiot when I say it's giving. Seriously, use different words. Sound off in the comments. Okay, we're gonna stop saying it's giving. What are we replacing it with?

We're going to attempt to stop saying it, but until a worthy replacement presents itself.

Yeah, it's giving.

Resting on our laurels.

But, see, I just don't feel like we can be the type of people who say illustrious. You just use that word and resting on our laurels while also saying it's giving.

I think that personifies, embodies, and is emblematic of our show.

It's emblematic.

And why can't we sometimes not have the right word?

I know. It's like people just expect.

Why are we holding ourselves to this impossible standard? I think it's cool to incorporate young fun trends when appropriate. However, this is a perfect. I'm so glad we're having a conversation about modern jargon. Cause I saw something this morning that bothered me. It was a girl making her breakfast. It was like, a cute breakfast that looked like hash brown with avocado and then egg and then cottage cheese on top. Like, is it, by the way, is.

What she ate for breakfast pertinent to the story?

I just want you to know what she ate and that it looked good and it was a little different from, like, you know, cereal and milk. It was like she was trying something new, and then she captioned it, pov, this is my new hyper fixation breakfast.

What part bothered it?

Hyper fixation. Like, why you gotta call it a hyper fixation? Like, this is my new favorite breakfast.

Okay, so I actually like the word hyper fixation because I hadn't heard of it. And then when somebody posted it, I was like, oh, my God. I actually do that. I become obsessed with a meal. I'll eat it every day for six months, and then I'll never eat it again. Like, the concept of hyper fixation is. I like that there was a word to this habit that I had done, so I actually don't agree with you on that. I thought you were gonna say pov.

Oh, pov. I get it. Because it's, like, sometimes it's hard to start off your caption. It's like, when you, like, it's a necessary super.

That girl, I think she could have gotten a point across just by saying, my current hyper fixation breakfast.

I think hyper fixation is just, like, such an extreme word when it's, like, my fave breakfast right now. Well, yeah, like, I like to eat.

Here's the thing. Are you actually hyper fixating? Like, I know as a person, you guys know I'm very into patterns, and, like, I like four things. Like, I actually am the definition of someone who hyper fixates on something, especially food.

And I just want to say someone who's having, like, hash browns, avocado eggs, and an amalgamation of seasonings. Like, she's obviously.

Yeah, she's exploratory.

Hyperfixation is a clinical term, Claudia, that describes when someone becomes so focused on a specific topic, activity, or person that they ignore other things. People who hyper fixate may forget to take breaks, lose track of time, not respond to others.

Like, it's just, well, that's how I feel.

Extremely strong.

That's how I feel. And this is going to ruffle quite a few feathers, but I was just having this conversation with a friend of mine. That's how I feel about, like, certain words, or in this case, like, certain clinical diseases being overused. Like, not everyone has add, not everyone has ADHD. And seriously, I keep getting targeted for this ad on TikTok. Like, literally, it's like this telehealth company that wants to prescribe you, that wants to diagnose you with ADHD and send you medication for ADHD, and it's giving, like, a pill farm. Like, it's.

Claude, what's it called?

The website? I don't know why you need drugs.

It's always good to have a cop.

I'll send you. You know, it's just giving, like, honestly, back. And now I'm so conscious because we just read demon copyright. But, like, these doctors, what do they call them? Like, pillow, where they. You just come to get a prescription filled. Like, pill fillers, pill farm, something like that. And I just feel like not everyone has ADHD. Like, it's just not possible. Not everyone has it. And I think there are people who, like, really, really have it, and then there are other people who's like, I also have ADHD. Like, no, you don't. You're just annoying.

Yeah, that's a big one. Of course. OCD. Like, I'm so OCD about my.

But then you meet someone who actually has, like, clinically diagnosed OCD, and they're not, like, the girl who, like, organizes her pantry. Okay. Like, wanting a clean life isn't a mental illness. Yeah, no, everyone's getting too comfortable, like, diagnosing themselves.

Well, that's two different things. That's two different things. One, it's like, you know, using a clinical term to describe yourself, and that's not the case. And another is, like, the over diagnosis of the population.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. You're two different things.

Lots of issues. We've got lots of issues, and I'm hyper fixating on them today.

But what I'm hyper fixating on is that we actually have one less issue today because we have amazing stories and we have deer toaster. So it's gonna be like a long, juicy sort of episode where our job is easy. It's not like we have to just, you know, dig deep to have funny conversations, you know?

Yeah. Do we ever have to dig so deep? It just. Everything comes naturally. It comes naturally.

Why was I just talking to that? I was talking to someone about. They were, like, asking about what we do. They were like, how do you guys not run out of things to talk about? And I was like, we have never run out of things to talk about, but I think it's really because we're siblings. Who was I having this conversation? Maybe it was Nikki Glaser. It was someone when I was in LA.

Talking about me?

No.

With your friends? Your fancy Los Angeles friends?

No, I wouldn't say I was talking about you. I just. I wouldn't say that.

So who are you talking about?

Like our business. Like our business.

Oh, my gosh, Trey, you were just talking about me. It's fine.

No, it's fine. Maybe if you hadn't, like, maybe if you hadn't turned against me at the beginning of the episode, yeah, I would have been talking about you, but I'm not. I wasn't.

Okay, well, yeah, we don't run out of things to talk about. We finish each other's sandwiches made on my homemade bread.

Mine, not anybody else's. Hers.

Is anyone else making bread? I would love to have a fresh piece of bread that I didn't slave.

I think a lot of people are making bread.

No, no. In my, like, I'm sure a lot of people are making bread, but, like, no one around me is making bread, and that's a problem.

Olivia does do like that sourdough, like wild grain.

It's like they ship it to you frozen. You can freeze it and then you warm it up and it's pretty close to fresh.

It's like somebody else. You just heated it up.

Yeah, but there's definitely something like kumsa fresh about it, but it's not what I'm doing. And the thing is, if I had people around me who were making starter dough, like, I wouldn't have needed to, and that would have been amazing. Like, cuz soon I'll be making a bounty and I'm gonna drop one off here.

Oh, I love that.

I would have loved to be on the receiving end of it.

I love if you could figure out a way to ship your bread. Sounds like we're starting a business.

Well, we'll be together soon and maybe I'll bring my starter with me.

Well, you can't just make new starter.

No, you have to. Well, you can. Becca Martinez says that, like, anyone can make starter, but there is, like, my starter that I'm working with now. Like, seriously came straight from the Oregon trail. Thanks to ballerina farm.

And thanks to Kevin O'Leary.

And thanks to Kevin O'Leary when we.

Had Kevin O'Leary on the toast, which is really an iconic episode in toast herstory. Feel free to go watch it. It's on YouTube. Did we ask him about the Oregon trail? And people have so many issues. They have so many issues with how we say Oregon. Apparently it's Oregon. And seriously, it's not.

They said to say it, like, you know, your liver. Organ. O r g a n. That's just.

Never gonna be me.

No, it's not. But them spelling it like that, definitely. Now I do know how to say it. We would have, like, sat here. I wouldn't have even known what it is if not for.

Or. I knew that it was. I knew we were saying it wrong. But if saying it wrong is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Also, if it was meant to be pronounced, like organ, wouldn't it be spelled that way?

Why is there the e there? O r g u n. Organ.

O r e g o n. Right.

Yeah, that's how it's spelled. I'm saying if they wanted or ragon or gone.

Sorry, that's on you. That's, like, the people who named Majijan, like. Yeah, it's a mustard.

Well, by the way, the thing is, bon appetit. They didn't name it the majijan. It's abbreviated.

I don't know if you had seen.

The sign for the major Deegan expressway instead of it being Maj. Deegan, but Major Deegan. Would you have said Major Dijon or Major Deegan?

I think I would have said Major Deegan because I would have been in, like, hard g mode.

Yeah, yeah, hard g. But I saw.

That soft J, and I hit him with a soft G. Magdijon. There's nothing like it. Take a trip down the maji.

So we did talk to Kevin O'Leary about the orgone trail. What did he say?

Of course we did. He said fabulous things, like, it was a dream to work on. You know, everything. You want to hear about your favorite childhood.

I love that. It's like when they say, don't meet your heroes. They're obviously not talking about Kevin O'Leary.

No, they're not talking about him. Not talking about Frank Katanga. Even though he's like, shit starting. Even though he shits starting.

Frankie Tanya. Low key. Spineless. I said it. And he low key always has been. Like, people will tell him secrets, and, like, to him, they're just facts. Like, he just shares it.

No, nothing is sacred to Frankie Tanya. But we should have known that.

Really? I don't think I should have known that, because I met that man, and that man looked like somebody I could tell a secret to.

No, but, like, he has so many redeeming amazing qualities. But, like, he's not.

No, it's true. He cheated on Dolores.

Like, he chewed on doors like that. And he can't even, like, promise. Like, get back together with her because he can't stop.

Right? He said, I love you so much, but I will never get back together with you because I'll cheat on you again. Like, are you fucking okay?

He literally can't help himself, so it's no secret that he would spill your secrets. Like, I think he's a great person for a million other things, but at this point, any friend of his who tells him something in confidence, like, you're the fool. Don't trust Frank Katanga. He literally told you not to trust? No.

And also, like, how does that feel? As, you know, Britney, his new girlfriend, hearing he's still in love with his ex wife, but he won't get back together with her because he can't stop cheating on her. So now she's dating him. He obviously loves his ex wife still, but he's also a serial cheater. So the guy you're. The guy you're seeing probably cheats on you and doesn't even love you.

Like, they were just saying on the show that they'll probably get engaged soon, and I have to hope that at some point, like, he will be too old and tired, too cheap.

Yeah, right? Yeah.

When, like, do you age out of it? 60?

Like, no, not 60.

70.

Men are just.

There definitely has to be an age where, like, you don't have the bandwidth to cheat.

Well, there is an age where you can no longer get erect. Is that what you're referring to?

No, but, like, do the erections wane and you only have so many to give, so, like, why not give it to your loving partner and not the woman down the street?

I mean, that's, like, a rationale.

You can't even get down the street because you don't have your license anymore. Cause it was taken away because your eyesight is bad. You know what I mean?

I do, I do. Like, at some point, your body won't physically. Like, you're limited in your ability to cheat due to your bodily functions just slowing down.

Yeah.

Well, that's good.

So just give it to the one you've got. Love the one you're with, is all I'm saying.

How did we get to Frank Catania? Oh, he's your hero. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kevin O'Leary always comes back to the Oregon trail because it always comes back to my bread, especially today. Because I'm so hashtag proud. And now that the vlog is out there, I can talk about it because yesterday I didn't want to, like, spoil the kind of the narrative within the.

Vlog and hysterical, like, the parts where you're just silently suffering. Also not you making sour bread in a crop top and booty shorts. Can we talk about that? I was shocked. You looked fire flames.

Oh, thank you. Well, no, because the day I cooked it was Tuesday. I wore blazer and high waisted shorts on the show, which called for a little crop top, which isn't, like, so crazy to wear a crop top when you're wearing high waisted shorts. And I was going through my day. At first I was wearing my shorts when I was doing my doughs, but then I switched into a pair of sweatpants. And I, like, I thought maybe the counter would protect me, but there's a lot of, like, reaching and moving around. So, like, yeah, there's a lot of crops.

You looked good.

Thank you. I should have put on an apron in hindsight, like, yeah, for the vibe. And I have, like, really cute aprons. And it would have, and I also have a stain on my shirt, like, by the end because it was, like, dinner time and stuff.

Apron would have protected you.

Apron would have protected me because I can't protect myself.

I think, unfortunately, we do have to wrap up this prefast five banter because we have a lot to get to today. Is that okay with you? I'm sorry. I know it's not cool of me. I could do a whole hour with, it's unfortunate.

As you stated. It's unfortunate.

As you stated. It's unfortunate.

But you seem committed, right? Yeah, I am eager, by the way.

Yeah, I'm committed to doing my job. Sue me.

No, but I think prefast five banter is actually, like, the best of our work. Not saying we should.

I agree with you. I don't know if everyone agrees. I think sometimes people are like, oh, when did the stories start? Like, some people listen to this just for pop culture. I know. It's sick. Why sick?

No, that's seriously crazy. I don't think that's true, but sound off in the comments.

No, actually, please. I don't need to know how many people, like, skip our personal lives.

That's rude, Claudia. I literally don't think there's one. I truly believe it in my heart.

There are, like, yes.

Well, there's always one of anyone.

Let me tell you why. Because yesterday we were a little delayed in putting up the timestamps in the YouTube description, and there was, like, a bunch of comments being like, oh. So we stopped. I like how people are like, oh, we're done with time stamps. Okay, give me five fucking minutes, first of all. And second of all, people who are desperately seeking timestamps are looking skip over.

It's true. I saw those comments, too. I thought that was weird.

Yeah, no, I didn't, because I knew that, like, there's some assholes who just listen for our pop culture takes. But you know what? Those people are listeners, too, and they deserve the fast five stories.

And, I mean, if you like the takes, cool. If you like the takes, I just want to say, like, I think you would like the prefast.

The takes are kind of like a gateway drug to the past fast five banter, but so many people skip it. Just trust and believe. Like, let this be your sign. But you're not even listening to this. Wait, should we put the timestamp for today, like, a couple of minutes earlier so people can hear this here message?

Yeah, just. Yeah, for those timestamp warriors. Yeah.

Our first story, Victoria's Secret is bringing back its controversial fashion show to the Runway. So the angels are back. While Victoria's Secret tried a revamped version of its iconic fashion show in 2023, the brand announced on Wednesday that it was bringing the catwalk spectacular back to its original format with a splashy Runway show. This year, the new show will deliver precisely what our customers have been asking for. The glamor, Runway, fashion, fun, wings, entertainment all through a powerful modern lens, reflecting who we are today. A spokesperson for the brand says, I.

Am so curious to see what this is going to be, because there, weirdly, has been, like, a lot of demand for the Victoria's Secret fashion show of yore. You know, like, people, it was toxic for sure, but, like, people loved it. And even me, like, I remember being, like, super fat and still loving it. Like, I didn't feel like, yes, technically, I was excluded. I didn't see myself represented, but, like, I'm not a model, so, like, I was fine with it. There has been, like, a lot of demand for that energy to return. But I think Victoria's Secret has learned their lesson in the sense that they're going to bring it back and, and really be much more inclusive. So I don't know if. If that's what people want, but I'm.

Having deja vu because they, like, brought it back last year. Right? What was it and why didn't it work? Why?

Why is it so forget, actually don't remember what happened. This isn't the first time they've, like, revamped it.

I also think that brands really need to walk a line between, like, making choices and staying true to who they are while also listening to people and hearing them out, but not making every single decision based on what people tell you to do. I feel like that's a fast way to go nowhere and to stand for nothing.

Yeah. I also think at the end of the day, like, you probably just need to lean into your data, right? Like, who are your customers?

But which data?

Who are your customers? Data, like, sales. Like, what sizes are selling well, what sizes are not selling well. Who is your target customer? What does your customer look like? Like, if your customer looks like, you know, nothing, like your models, like, then that's pointless.

I don't know that I agree wholeheartedly. Like, I think I don't look like a Victoria's Secret angel, but I think there's something aspirational about the way that they look. They make the lingerie look really gorgeous and exciting. And it's like this hope that maybe if I put it on, like, it'll help me look like.

I agree with you. Do you buy Victoria's Secret?

I used to. Yeah.

Like bras.

Bras. Well, not bras, because, like, I've always had a certain set of needs, but I love their underwear. If I ever was buying, like, something, like, exciting for the boudoir, I always went to Victoria's Secret.

Interesting. Okay.

And that, I think, changed one I, when I got older, but also, like, their brand just turned to mush.

It meant nothing.

Like, you would walk past a mannequin and there's nothing worth looking at.

Yeah, like, crap.

Crap. So I think they need to be a little more scrupled while also being a little more inclusive but not losing the magic of the original Victoria secret and the angels. That was the most iconic, like, modeling underwear job in the world. And just to, like, give that up completely because people were mad, like, there's a way to do it.

Right, right.

It's like, it doesn't mean you have to do an about face and become something that you're not, something that so many other brands are. Like, we don't want you.

No, it's true. Like, honestly, probably in response to Victoria's Secrets, so many other brands popped up in the, in the category of, like, undies and lingerie, but also in all sorts of categories with the message of being real. You know, like, none of the airy, you know, nothing's retouched. It's real women with real bodies. And there's a demand for that. But there's also a demand for the opposite. Like, let's.

Like, there's a demand for fantasy. And I feel like I can name at this point sitting right here. It's not always been like this, but I can name so many real brands that showcase reality, Sports Illustrated down, dove. I cannot name so many brands that, like, do fantasy anymore.

But maybe it's not good for business. Like, maybe it's not. And that's why people don't do it. You have to imagine these big, big companies. The bottom line is the priority.

Yes, of course. But, like, they were doing fantasy for decades and business was moving.

The culture shifted.

Yeah, but people are the same people, everyday people, and, like, what they're looking for in their life. Like, yes, the Nat. Like, what we're. What's getting a lot of attention might change, but, like, people still shop what they're looking for.

Yeah, well, I think also the conversation about, like, the products being shit is of huge importance to.

Is that what people say?

Like, back in the day, like, when we all got older, we were like, we can't wear these bras. Like, it wasn't built for real women.

No, I'm not. Yeah, I think maybe an older woman is not made for them, period. Like, maybe it is a certain age demographic. Time in your life.

Time in your life. I'm.

That's okay.

I feel like maybe I said this the last time, like, I'm looking forward to the show, but then last time, I didn't even watch it.

Yeah. Whatever they chose to do, can't remember what it was. It was forgettable and likely the wrong choice. So I hope that they do something different this time. It seems like it will be different. I think they're bringing back, like, some of the iconic angels.

Okay, well, that's great. But also, and I feel like coming on the heels of this Sports Illustrated conversation yesterday, how, like, there used to be a time where, like, if you became a Victoria secret angel, like, you were seriously the biggest model in the world. Like, it made every model who we know. Giselle, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Heidi Klum, everyone. Kendall, Gigi, everyone. Then obviously, Victoria Secret stopped. But then, really, Sports Illustrated stepped in, and it was like, whoever's on our cover is the girl of the moment. And after yesterday's conversation, it's like, that's actually not really the case anymore. Sports Illustrated doesn't make models anymore in the sense that, like, once you're on the COVID you have a career for life. It would be cool if Victoria Secret got back into that. Like, okay, who's the new hot thing?

Yeah. Who makes models now, anyway? I feel like a lot of models, that job has also been usurped by celebrities. Like, the face of our perfume. It's gonna be a celebrity. Same with hosting. There's, like, they're putting people out of work.

No, it's a good call. Like, who does? I mean, I guess, like, we look now at, like, skims campaigns, but those are still celebrities. It's not my.

Yeah, she's not, like, finding new faces at Mall of America and being like, I'm gonna make you a big star.

I think the modeling, like, ecosystem really was eclipsed a lot by Instagram.

Yeah.

And you're right. Like, there aren't those, like, scouts who go to a McDonald's looking for Emily Donato, you know?

Right. I bring that back.

Yeah. But also, like, that, like, modeling structure was, like, super toxic for the girls.

Like, oh, yeah. Okay. No, I feel like that moment of, like, you're in a mall and you get discovered. Like, I don't think that moment's toxic, and I think that moment should remain. However, like, once they get into the industry and these are young people, like, there definitely needs to be a lot of change, a lot of parental guidance, a lot of, like, age restrictions, things of that nature.

I do feel like the era of super modeling is, like, a little bit over. Like, when you think about America's next top model and how modeling was such a Victoria's Secret. Like, models were just like. And they're still, like, super successful models now, but it's really not the same, honestly. I think it's because of social media.

Yeah. It's weird to think about. I feel like the last model. The last great models are, like, Kendall.

Oh, no, the last great model. Seriously? Cause she's the youngest is Kaia Gerber.

Kaia Gerber. No, but she's grandfathered in. If it wasn't for being Cindy Crawford's daughter, like, she didn't come up with a crop of girls.

No, no, she didn't. She's, like, the last generation. But even she, by the way, like, she's the biggest super. She's not like, that. Like, famous. Like, she is.

No. And I feel like, where does she even model?

Like, fashion week and, like, campaigns and stuff, but, like, she doesn't do that.

Much modeling for a big mom.

I think about, like, how famous at the peak. Like, Miranda Kerr was. Like, I don't think that's similar. Yeah, well, of course. I don't think it's, like, no, no.

You can go name after name. Like, that's just not happening.

I only do.

Yeah. Kate Moss. Like, insane.

Yeah.

And those girls were, like, regular people who became models. I feel like then we had the Nepo models who really held it down.

Kendall, Gigi, Kaia.

Yeah, but where are the other models?

No. And I think this is, like, actually a real frustration of contemporary models who wanted to be the next Naomi but didn't have a chance because of the Nepo kids. Like, it's actually. I think nepotism is actually a huge issue within modeling, for sure.

But, like, those girls are in their late twenties. Oh. Halle Bee bird. Where are the 18 year old models right now? The 20 year old models? I don't know who are the models.

Us.

And maybe it's because we're not 18 and 20. Like, we don't see them.

No, no, it's because we aren't 18 or 20. There aren't any models. Because it would be us, right?

No, because since we grew up, they just, like, stopped marketing, period. They're like, we can't get them.

We're done.

Give up. We're done anyways. So TBD. Stay tuned. I'm open. As always. I'm open.

Yeah.

I find that I'm very open as a person.

Yeah.

Our next story, some trailer news. First up, it ends with us. Trailer dropped today, and Blake Lively stars as Lily Bloom bloom. Lily Rose depp in it ends with us, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover novel. It's been clowned on for months because the pictures from the set looked really awful. And I just wanna say the trailer looks so good to me.

Yeah, of course. It's like they put a Taylor Swift song on it and everybody suddenly changed their tune. First of all, the nose.

I just wanna say the trailer didn't have those outfits that we saw on the street.

Well, the trailer was. I saw vertical on Instagram. You too?

No, I saw it. I watched it on YouTube, on my iPad. Oh.

I watched it vertical on Instagram. So everything was really zoomed in. And I was like, oh, we're not seeing anyone's outfits, just their faces. And that's why it looks good.

Oh, that's funny. No, I saw, like, what I saw of her look, like, really wasn't offensive. I don't know if she's wearing a wig.

She is.

It looked a little.

The wig is wacky. It's giving Merida. What's her name?

Merida. It's also, like to have a wig for the whole movie. You know, like Kristen Stewart in Twilight. It's distracting.

I agree. And I guess Blake Lively was not willing to dye her hair red because.

The girl, she was pregnant, I think. Wasn't she pregnant?

No, I think she was postpartum, and people were, like, applauding her for going back to work so quickly.

Oh, that makes sense.

But. And I, like, I feel like that's just part of acting where you have to, like, commit to dyeing your hair and, like, changing your body for roles. Like.

Yeah. Also, you can dye your hair when you're pregnant. Some people don't, but, like, some people do. It's not.

But it wasn't like the girl had crazy different hair length or texture. Like, it was literally just the color.

Yeah. Also, I would rather her have just been a blonde in the movie, than wear an ugly wig, say, like, then the erasure of redheads. I don't love it, but we're still being erased because a redhead didn't get the part.

Oh, yeah. I was gonna say, or they could have just cast someone with red hair, or, God forbid. Or they could have cast someone who was down to dye their hair red, like Julianne Hough.

Right. However, I'm gonna focus on the positives, because we've already said those things. We've already said she's not a redhead. She didn't become a redhead. And I don't like a wig. I've said it. Focus on the positives. Because I thought that the trailer looked really good. I thought her acting looked really strong. And the only note I had is that I would have just based on what they look like and what I thought of their characters from the book, I would have swapped the male actors.

So I thought prior to this, that Justin Baldoni, like, sunk his teeth into this project and made himself the star. And I was like, okay, I would do the same thing.

But is he the Ryle?

He's Ryle. And he's also, like, the producer. And I think he was very involved in purchasing the rights. Like, he got his teeth into the book and then cast himself as the main man. Like, okay. And I thought he was so poorly cast seeing him, it was better. But I don't agree. I think Atlas is perfectly cast. I fucking love that guy. I don't even know his name, but he's from 1923, right? I love him. What's his name?

I don't know. I didn't watch 1923.

Oh, my God. You didn't. He was the best part of it. 1923 was so good. Better than 1883.

Brendan Sklener.

Oh, my God. Dreamboat.

Brandon.

Dreamboat. And he's so Atlas. Like, he can play homeless. Like, I see it.

I know. I thought to me, like, in the older scenes, like, he looks more kind of, like, buttoned up. Like, I thought Ryle looks more, like, rugged.

He. But he is buttoned up in the book. He's, like, super successful.

Atlas. Yeah, but he's, like, a creative.

He's a chef, but he owns, like.

That'S a creative industry. But he owns a businessman.

He owns, like, multiple. Multiple successful restaurants in Boston.

Oh, that's so not how I saw him in, like, I saw him as.

A businessman, but he's also a fucking nut who's, like, crazy.

Yeah, but I thought he would be, like, the more, like, straight cut looking guy. With, like, a darkness, and then the other guy would be just, like, more free spirited and. And creative.

And, yes, Ryle has a darkness, but, no, you're wrong about atlas. Like, he is, like, this sort of soft spoken, sweet.

Are you saying he's a businessman?

Yes, he's extremely successful.

That's so funny. That's not, like, how I saw him. Yeah, but I like what I saw in the trailer. It was just a note. That's how I read the book. But that's the thing about books. We all imagine it differently.

Also, did the trailer not show any of the young scenes they did? Oh, I feel like.

And Claudia, I don't know who the actress is who plays young Lily Bloom. Yeah, I think, like, I need to find her, because otherwise, I'm gonna think she's AI generated because she looks like young Blake lively.

Hold on. I watched it on Taylor Nation, TikTok, and I feel like maybe it wasn't the whole thing. I just want to see some young in the movie.

For a second, I was like, is that Blake lively again as a teenager? But it's not. This girl really looks like her. Not on her Google images, but in the trailer really look like Blake Lively. Young.

The wig is really bad.

Yeah, it is.

Oh, my. The trailer that I saw was, like, definitely wrong.

And then, of course, it was on my Taylor nation.

Wait, I kind of see what you're saying about Ryle. He is supposed to be a little bit more suave. Like, him wearing a hoodie in this scene. Like, no, he was wearing a tie and a suit.

Yeah, he does that. It's always a push and pull in, like, a movie like this, where it's like, the guy who's, like, good on paper is, like, the guy that your heart wants.

Yeah, no, Ryle is a little too unkempt.

Like, he's supposed to be like, you know, he's. He is wealthy. Like, he has this, like, yeah, big job, big apartment. He, like, is the guy who's, like, good on paper, but he looks like, a hot. Like, they're usually not so hot.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's, like, not. He's more hot than handsome.

Yeah. And Atlas is more handsome than hot. And just the way I read it, I would have thought the opposite.

Okay, wait. I'm, like, kind of, like, watching the trailer now as a hater.

No, Claudia.

Oh, wait. Blake Lively. Yeah. Young. No, I'm sorry. I'm back to being a hater because I'm watching this on mute now without my tears. Ricochet and it's a completely different experience. Like, I have a hot take. They made my boyfriend ugly. Like, which one's your boyfriend? Brendan Sklar. Yeah, he looks different. Yeah, he looks like he's wearing prosthetic face.

He looks like a nerd when it's like, that's supposed to be the panty dropper guy, right, right, right. That's what I'm trying. That's what I'm trying to say.

No, they made him ugly. What in the world? Where's my boyfriend?

I'm positive. I'm shocked by how good this movie looks. It looks like we're bringing back not. It's not a rom.com because I think it's very dramatic, but it's like a Ramadi. I don't know. A rama.

Okay, I watched the trail, guys. Here's an exercise in mental health or whatever. Watch the trailer on mute.

Okay. I'm gonna do a little bit of that. Okay.

You're focusing more on what's wrong. Skip to the middle. Like, it's a completely different experience, you guys, I'm a joke because I was.

I don't care. I disagree. You just, like, maybe we're so excited about that song. I like the song. And I was like, cool that it was included, but it didn't, like, move the needle for me. Any song would have made a trick. I feel like also, any trailer needs music and hype. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of shit cut together.

You guys watch it on mute and then drop a comment.

I will be watching this movie. I think this looks like it could be bringing back the great romance movies, not the great. Okay, let's not get carried away. Really good romance movies helmed by Blake Lively. Her bread and butter. I think we could be going somewhere really great with this. I'm cautiously optimistic, and as always, I remain open for Victoria's Secret. I remain open now for it ends with us. And I shall be remaining open for our next story, which is the wicked trailer.

Now, the Wicked trailer was a trailer.

Yeah. I have been like, they've had trailers for the trailer.

I don't give a fuck. Seriously. That trailer was insane. It looks incredible. It looks like it's going to be seriously, like the movie. Like whatever wizard of Oz was to the people in the fifties or whenever the fuck that came out, that is what the wicked movie is going to be to us.

Like, that's a really great comparison because I feel like the wizard of Oz kind of shifted the way people like, you know, movies in color. Like, it just it was a new class of movies. And this movie looks like that. Like, because we see big movies can. What's the last really big movie?

Like the greatest showman musical. Sorry, I thought you meant no big.

Movie could be movie or musical. To me, Avatar, greatest showman. But cinematically the greatest showman didn't break the mold.

Avatar. And it was because it was all done. It was like 100% CGI movie.

Yeah.

This to me is giving elevated. Of course, like, the story of Wicked is a great story, but in terms of the music, in terms of the production value, in terms of, like, the CGI, the sets, it looked so. The costumes, like, I seriously, it looked like Harry Potter. By the way, Harry Potter is another good example. When they were, like, in the school and they were sharing the dorm in the trailer, I was like, oh, man, it's Harry Potter. And I kind of love how the movie feels. The show itself is like, the star is Alphaba, but it kind of felt like in the trailer, it's a movie with two stars.

Ensemble.

No, like partial Ariana, partial Cynthia.

That might just be for the trailer to get the Ari stans excited. Otherwise they might complain. Like, not enough Ari. She's definitely the biggest name and a really big draw for the movie. And she's a big part, so why not include her?

A lot chills. Like, we got a couple of different sneak peeks at defying gravity at popular and a couple of the songs I seriously like. Okay, so I don't know if we have plans for Thanksgiving.

It comes out at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Giving.

Exciting.

We feeling together. We need to go to the theater.

Like, it's giving thanks.

No, I'm like, I'm thrilled.

Yeah, this is exciting for cinema, for musical fans. I like movie musical. I love movie musicals. It's my favorite genre. And it's crazy. I don't like Broadway shows.

No, I don't like Broadway shows. But, like, I've seen wicked multiple times. It is. It is so far superior.

Yay. Love wicked. I'm just saying, like, I love a movie musical.

Yeah. No, I'm so fucking excited. How about that? How about that for positivity?

We're so positive. It's sick.

I'm positive that we're positive.

Yeah. So exciting content on the horizon.

Truly.

All's to say.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story? Sophie Turner has graced the COVID of Vogue and given a wide ranging interview with some very quotable moments. So she got candid about the public narrative in the weeks after announcing her split from Joe Jonas. Which she called the worst few days of her life and receiving private support from her hero, Taylor Swift. She said, taylor was an absolute hero to me this year. I've never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her because she took my children and me and provided us with a home and a safe space. She really has a heart of gold.

No. Okay. So I took. Totally forgot about, like, that one week where there was all that Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, like, back and forth drama. Their camps, like, leaking stories about each other. And I really forgot how, like, the first couple of days, like, clearly the Jonas camp was, like, putting out all this shit that Sophie was, like, an alcoholic and a deadbeat mom. Really sort of heinous accusations. Yeah. And I imagine at the time, like, as a mom, she was, like, freaking out. And then also, like, her marriage is falling apart. Just, like, dramatic for everyone. And then, of course, the added element of, you know, her going out to dinner with Taylor Swift and then ending up moving into that tribeca, like, investment apartment that Taylor Swift had. Like, I literally forgot about that. How long ago was that?

That was in, like, September, like, August. September of last year. So, yeah, nine months.

I'm glad it's, like, quieted down and it seems like things are moving on for them and they're amicably whatever. Because there haven't been stories planted about each other. But their divorce is not final, correct?

No, not that we know. But they had reached that custody agreement, and things de escalated for a second. So not a custody agreement, but temporary, where they had a plan in place. She also talked about being a Jonas wife and being called the wives, along with Danielle and Priyanka and how she didn't like that at the time, just being like, the wives.

Yeah, I saw that. I found that interesting because it wasn't like, you know, all three of them were, like, nobodies. I would argue that, like, Priyanka and Sophie were, at points in their career, more famous than their spouses.

Yeah, sure.

It felt like. Yeah, I could see it being derogatory. And that's what people have, you know, an issue with the word wag is that, you know, most. More often than not, the wife of a sports player is sort of unknown. And they do, like, the house and the kids and the family very traditional. And so to be just sort of delegated to, like, your husband's wife is rude. But I almost think it was, like, ironic that they were all, like, more successful in some rights than their spouses.

Yeah, I also. I never really remember calling them the wives. Just the J. Sister Jay sisters.

Yeah.

Which was, like, cute and factual as they are. Like the sister in laws of the J's. Yeah. I I don't know, I. I can't imagine, like, being on her end of it, but I feel like there's no, like, there's no cause for her to, like, she's so big and mighty that, like, to be someone's wife for, like, 1 second just doesn't seem like the biggest deal.

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. She's sort of like, especially.

It wasn't. It was in the name of something, like, really cute, which was like, the three. And also, it's not like the other girls are just wives either. Yeah, it was kind of, like, ironic to call them the wives.

Yes.

And never meant to be denigrating in any way. I don't know, I just think that's, like, funny.

Yeah. But I guess she didn't find it funny.

No, she didn't. She did not like that.

And the COVID like, starting to, like, hate your husband. Everything is gonna start pissing you off, you know?

Yeah. Yeah, that's true. The pictures are beautiful. She looks amazing. And I think, like, you know, it's been, as we said, nine months. Like, it was high time to hear from her. Joe goes on tour guides and saying, we know how Joe feels because he's an artist and they share how they feel, and he's shared as much as he can. And so this was, like, her time to speak. I'm sure she's been holding a lot of this in and doing it.

What was the magazine? British Vogue.

Vogue. Like, does it get classier?

No. British Vogue. No, it doesn't get classier. Like, seriously, this is so. It's honestly a sly.

Yeah, yeah, I like it. I like it, too.

I don't like it.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Oh, God, it happened so fast.

Thank you, turdy. I just decided to switch. I switched out the fifth story.

Oh, wow. Someone got the booth.

Not in a boot way. Like, I just didn't feel. Like wasn't right.

You didn't feel comfortable sharing?

I didn't feel. Yeah, that sounds dramatic. I'll explain later. You'll understand. Adam, different story that I meant to talk about earlier this week. So it's just gonna seem like a little late and random, but I wanted to get your thoughts.

Okay.

Chris Pratt has divided fans after leaving his ex, Anna Faris, out of his Mother's Day tribute. Again.

Yeah.

So Chris Pratt once again left his ex wife and mother of his eleven year old son, Anna Faris, out of his mother's Day tribute he shared on instagram. He instead praised his mother, Kathy, and his wife, Catherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he shares two children. He said, witnessing you being a mom to Lila and Eloise and a stepmom to Jack makes me fall more and more in love with you every day. So it was a really nice thing that he posted for his wife and his mother. And of course, like Chris, Pat can't do anything nice for his wife without people bringing up his.

Okay, I want to talk about the wife, but really quickly, I just want to say I saw a video. Remember a couple of weeks ago, he. There was another story. People giving Chris Pratt shit for buying a home and tearing it down because.

They said it was like, we talked about this.

Yeah, I saw a video of the actual house. Piece of shit.

Guess you stand by what you said, piece of shit.

Like, just because the house is from a certain time period doesn't make it valuable. If it was valuable, like, sorry, it would have been landmarked or something. Like, it was this random architect, and I saw it and seriously, was, like, one of the ugliest houses I've ever seen. Like, I would have knocked it down.

Yeah, no, I'm sorry. We can't be protecting everything, right? I saw the video, too, and I felt good about our take on it, which was that one. It's his property. Even if it was a Frank Lloyd Wright house, like, and it's not landmark, it's well within his rights to do what he wants with it. And if it meant so much more to someone else, they would have. Could afford it. They would have bought it. And I don't expect Chris Pratt and Kathryn Schwarzenegger to live in that home. Like, he literally wouldn't be able to walk through the door, those ceilings were so low.

No, but also, like, it's a no name architecture, and it was an ugly house. Like, that's just really all that needs to be said.

He's probably, like an architect who's like a name if you know a lot of architects. Yeah, but he wasn't, like, first string architect.

Now to Anna Faris, there has long been speculation that these two ended poorly. I think the big thing that started everyone theorizing, like, what the hell happened between Chris Pratt and Anna Faris is when Chris Pratt posted, I think it.

Was a mother's day, and it was like a picture of his child with Kathryn Schwarzenegger saying, like, our beautiful, healthy child. Are you saying Jack is ugly and unhealthy?

Anna Faris and his child had had some, like, small health issues at, you know, early. Like, he wears glasses, basically. I didn't think that that compliment to Katherine Schwarzenegger was an attack on Anna Faris. I thought people were being hella dramatic.

He can't call Kathryn Schwarzenegger pretty without it, meaning that Anna Faris is ugly, but you can't call her smart without it, meaning that Anna Faris is stupid.

Yes. Everyone just compares everything that he posts about. But, you know, to do a roundup of mothers and not include the mother of one of your children, like, is a little crazy. Like, even Tom Brady always post Giselle and Bridget Moynihan and his own mother, of course. And even when him and Giselle were good, he and I actually thought it was always, like, you know, given how fucked up what he did to her was, it was always, like, a menchie thing that he always included Bridget Moynan. I think he always, like, wished her a happy birthday, too. Like, I thought it was, but for sure.

But it's like, okay, so Tom Brady, like, left his pregnant wife, but post about her on Mother's Day. So he's good. Chris Pratt, like, respectively ended his marriage, started a new relationship, and only post about his new relationship on Mother's Day. And he's bad. Like, I just. I have no horse in this race, I just see it from, like, an outside perspective. I've never watched Guardians of the Galaxy nor parks and Rec, though I do like Chris Pratt of the things I've seen him in, like, bride wars.

A ana Faris, like, best. Probably one of the greatest actresses of our generation. What?

Anna Faris. One of the greatest actresses are of our generation at one point, like, one of the greatest podcasters. So, like, mad respect. I'm coming at this from a complete outsider. Like, you guys have to let up on Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger. Like, let them be. They remind me sort of of Justin Hailey and Selena.

Yeah.

Where it's like, justin can't do anything for Hailey without it being a slight towards Selena.

It's. Honestly, it's Jelena for millennials.

It's. It's Jelena for elder millennials. Like Chris and Catherine trying to move forward in their faith. Just like a christian couple trying to comparison. Trying to do christian tings. And it's always about the ex, by the way.

That's brilliant. Like, seriously brilliant. That's. It's the exact same thing. And, like, my God. Yeah.

No, Justin, Haley, Chris, and Katherine need to go out to dinner.

I bet you they do. I bet you they belong to the same church.

I bet you they do. Yeah.

The only difference, I feel, is, like, Anna Faris doesn't engage. Like, she just lets people, like, speculate. Selena often, like, pokes the bear, knowing there's this, like, big standom of people, and she, like, kind of victimizes herself. Whereas, like, Anna Faris does. She even post on Instagram. Her podcast, like, ended. She does her podcast.

Her podcast just posts reruns. No, she, like, doesn't put. I don't know where Anna Faris is. Like, if all is well, and she's just, like, taking time off.

But by the way, it's abundantly clear. Let's see. The last thing she posted was October 2023, and that was the last episode.

On her podcast, and it was an episode card, so it's not even, like, real time picture. July 2023. She posted at the great Wolf Lodge Slayer.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

She doesn't post the last time she had a guest on her podcast, and the last thing they promoted was Minka Kelly, May 2023. So the podcast is over. That's really crazy. And also, like, it's just abundantly clear that, you know, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris, their marriage ended poorly. Like, they are not on good terms, clearly. So he wouldn't be, like, posting her. And, like, a lot of people aren't friends with their exes. Like, it doesn't make them bad people.

Mm hmm.

So I think that's it's as simple and as complicated as that.

And on the one hand, I'm like, chris Pratt knows if he does, like, a roundup, if he just posted for Katherine, that would have been, like, different than, like, yes. Also posting his mom and then just leaving out this one. And so it's like, chris, why do you walk into these things?

I know, I know, but he should be allowed to celebrate his wife and his mother.

But then it also makes me realize, like, Chris Pratt doesn't give a fuck because if he did, he wouldn't do this. Because why you don't. They're poking the. It's true, the hornets nest, but it's like he's so indignant, then he doesn't care. And it's like he's. He's not doing it intentionally, but, like, if these sort of conversations bothered him.

He could just limit his exposure.

He could skirt around it.

Yeah.

He chooses not to. So all is to say, they're doing fine.

Share what you need to share. Try not to make it too long, and we'll try to get to all of you. Are you ready for today's?

I am.

Hey, Jackson Turdy. I'm a long time toaster, and this is the first time I'm seeking advice for my girlies. My husband fucking smells. To put some context behind it, we've been together for over ten years. We got married in 2019, but recently he's been smelling like rotten sausages. I am 14 weeks pregnant, so I think I'm super smelling, and it's hindering my senses. I cannot take it. I've told him a couple of times, but before we left the house that something on him smells. So he'll go change his clothes, put on some cologne. But this morning, he just woke up smelly. My bedroom reeks of the sausage smell. Every time I walk by him, I want to gag. How do I tell him, my pjom husband, that his natural scent is making me barf?

Without being rude, how do you change your natural scent?

The thing is, I don't know if he's changed his natural scent. I think his natural scent is.

I'm saying, like, if you tell him your natural scent grosses me out, like, what can you do about that?

Just because it's clear that he might not be smelly, that it's a pregnancy thing. Right.

You're just, you're more sensitive to smells when you're pregnant. You smell more. I feel like freaking bruno. And those smells, like, have a guttural reaction for you. So you're definitely smelling it now because you were pregnant. But like, what can he do other than stay away from your shower every five minutes?

So here's what we have to do. Like, you need to tell him, by the way. Like, it's not that you're smelly, your smell is not vibing with my pregnancy compatible. And we need to get to work. So you need to buy really, really fragrant shampoos and conditioners. Because, like, okay, let's say like a bad flower smell is better than rotten sausages. Like, and he needs to stay on top of his hygiene when it comes to. He just like needs to wear cologne, needs to use like a fragrant body wash. Like get ahead of it.

Yeah. You should go out and find a smell that you like. Maybe it's even old spice. Just like something powerful. Get the body wash, the shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, everything so that like, oh, and make sure it's just like one cohesive smell so it kind of takes over from every orifice of his. Don't send him out to do it. Like, you go sniffing and find what you like and then come home and be like, listen, your natural pheromones are not compatible with my pregnancy senses.

Can you don't tell him he's like smelly like sausages. Cause then he won't want to help you.

No, but like when I'm pregnant and I open the fridge. Yeah, but then when I'm not pregnant, I don't even notice. My fridge doesn't smell in general. Like, you are literally like a hound.

That sounds horrible.

Yeah. So I think you go out, find the new products, whatever your, whatever doesn't make you wanna vomit and tell him and give them to him. Like, I think he'll be totally fine with that.

And am I wrong in saying, like, this should go away by month? Like four?

Oh, it definitely gets better. Yeah.

So that's good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. It eases up. You'll still have like nose like brew.

But now the crazy thing is like being in Jackie's house when she's pregnant. Opening in the fridge. And hearing this every time I open.

The fridge when I'm pregnant.

No, I can't. And did it occur to you to, like, plug your nose or. That doesn't help.

I would, like, hold my breath sometimes. It doesn't really help. And it's so crazy because that never, ever happens when I never. I honestly.

Horrible.

Hadn't even thought about it until this segment. Like, that's how much. It's not like I have a smelly fridge. I just, like, you smell the smell.

Of fridge, but sometimes a fridge can be smelly. Let's just say that.

Oh, yeah. Well, if you got a problem, yeah, you got a problem. Like, I was literally cleaning out my fridge all the time to make it smell better, and it's just. Is it? Is what it is.

Okay, this next one is so funny and topical. Hey, girly swirlies. My fiance and I got into a fight about the Tom Brady roast. I was appalled by the joke that Tony Hinchcliffe made about Kim Kardashian. And I'm not even, like, a Kim Stan. He related her vagina to that of Wales. To me, that's just misogynistic and gross. She's a mother, for God's sakes. My fiance says all fair isn't all's fair in comedy, that it's just a roast, and I need to lighten up. I understand it was a roast, and I'm not one to get upset by comedy, but I thought his comments were just so unfunny and just gross. Am I overreacting, or is my fiance a secret woman hating trolley help? We've been together for four years, and we're getting married this fall. Ps. Love you dearly.

I just want to say, what was the joke?

That her vagina was big and worn out from all the dick, and it was like a whale's vagina.

Okay.

And I just wanna say, like, I think, like, it's a roast. It's true. Like, anyone can say what they want, and it is a gross joke, but I support Tony Hinchcliffe's right to make it. But if Ben laughed at it, like, I definitely would have been like.

That'S always weird when you're watching a movie with someone and you're like, this is so unfuddy. And then, like, you see the person next to you laughing. It's like you have no taste.

That's literally my marriage. Like Ben. But Ben laughs at, like, you know, duty. He thinks Judy humor is so funny, and sometimes I'm like, this is, like, really gross.

I watched something recently with Zach that was, like, bad. And I saw him laughing. I was in shock. It wasn't anything offensive. I was just like, wow. Were so different.

It was offensively unfunny.

It was offensively unfunny for this. I didn't watch the roast, but I can place myself if, like, you heard your partner laughing about jokes, like, derogatory towards women that, like, just made. That just went beyond the pale, because, of course, like, any joke towards a woman is derogatory towards a woman. But I agree with you. It's, like, bottom of the bar. Like, that's just, like.

And especially Tony Hinchcliffe was, like, probably one of him and Nikki Laser were, like, the top two roasters, and his jokes were so, um, creative and original. Like, honestly, I just feel like he could have done better.

Yeah, it's low bar. Like, I don't think you need to not marry him. Just men, like, dumb, unelevated, unsophisticated senses of humor.

It's actually good that you, like, know this prior to getting married. Like, just, like, it's true. It's just. It's emblematic of you, if you will.

Yeah. I feel like, you know what? It reminds me. Remember when we watched the Andrew Schultz special?

Yes.

With our husbands. And it was so, so, so funny. We were all laughing so hard. The end of it got. I forget. I don't even know what he was talking about, but it got, like, graphic.

Like, Peters.

Yeah. Like, sex jokes.

It was not for us.

Not for us. But, like, our husbands were still laughing.

Did I find that unattractive?

Yes, but, like, then we just moved. Like, I hadn't thought about it again until right now. Like, men just have, like, lower senses of humor than us.

And honestly, that's why, like, no, I was gonna say something really mean, but that's why, like, there's so many successful male comedians. Like, because men are.

The men will laugh at any.

Like, women are so critical, and women are, like, you know, they have higher standards. That's why it's hard to be. That's why. That's what I'm telling myself. That's why it's hard to be a female comic.

I think you're onto something. Not to say all male comics, like, are unfunny.

No.

And I love your schultz is special. But, like, they will. Like, men will laugh at a certain, like, bathroom humor. Even. Not even take out the sex stuff. Just, like, duty jokes and stuff.

That's just, like, it takes women it takes a lot more creativity and wit to make a woman laugh.

Make a woman laugh. I feel like.

And honestly, it's a compliment to us because we make women laugh daily.

It's so true.

Hourly. No.

And that's why people say, like, women aren't funny. It's like, that's not the case. Women are.

Just meet us up here. Join us. Join us.

Yeah. Cause a woman didn't laugh at your dumb fucking joke.

Yeah. Cry about it anyway.

Also say, move on. It's not big deal.

Yeah. Also say, but if we did want to, like, dig into this in a subconscious level, like, you could perhaps be looking for things, you know, because you're. You are getting married. Like, you're either maybe freaking out, looking for issues. So maybe look into that instead.

Yeah. If this is part of a larger thing of disrespect towards women, blah, blah, blah. Yes. If this is an isolated incident where he laughed at a joke that you felt, I think we can let it go.

Agreed. Is there a pattern? Establish a pattern.

Yeah. Okay.

Our third and final one, like, kind of applies to you, and I think maybe you're the best person to give because it's about a girl who doesn't have her license.

Okay. My swirly.

Hey. Swirly's. I have a conundrum. My husband and his co worker, who lives close by, has been. He's been driving her to the office occasionally for the past year. She's foreign, and she only has her learner's permit. This week, the company is back in office full time, as opposed to once a month visits for meetings. I was a little hesitant when he first started driving her, and I asked to see a picture. She's our age and definitely not ugly. I thought it was the right thing to help her out, though. We live 30 minutes away from downtown, there are not great public transportation options. She seems like a nice person and even sent us a gift when we recently had our first baby. However, she's apparently no longer pursuing her license and is expecting my husband to drive her every day. They are literally on the same team, so it would be very awkward if he told her to Uber instead. He is a total p job, and I don't think he's purposely acting in a nefarious manner, but I just feel weird about him spending so much time with her. Am I being crazy?

So's. Well, let's take a look back to a previous. Dear toasters, where there was a woman who was, you know, just feeling a little icky about her husband, who's a landlord going over so frequently to this young, hot things apartment to like, you know, clean her pipes and stuff. And he did end up, in fact, cheating on her. That woman is now filing for divorce. So, no, of course that's not always the case. And I. People are gonna be like, you guys need to trust women.

No way.

Women can be harlots and men can be stupid.

I just want to say, we just sang the praises of women and being smart and funny and elevated and so now I can say, like, get her out of the car with your husband.

There are some universal truths.

30 minutes young, not ugly. Goodbye. And you're like, she's so sweet. She sent us a gift when our baby was born. So she spends every day with your husband. That'd be fucking weird if she didn't send a gift. Like, that's the sweetness. And the fact that she stopped pursuing her license. Like, no, this girl needs to get her license. You live 30 minutes. I moved to the suburbs for 1 second. I got my license. You live 30 minutes from downtown and you have to go into work every day. Like, get your license. And of course she's not gonna get it. Cause like this nice strapping fella with a job is driving her to work every day. If I had that situation, yeah, I wouldn't get my license either, but she needs to get it. And your husband, he can either be like, straight up, I can't drive you anymore. Or like, you know, I have to take my wife here in the mor. Make some shit up. But you have a kid, by the way.

You have a kid. And that's why you have a kid because it gives you a million excuses.

You say I gotta drop my kid off at daycare.

My morning routines now that we're back in office are shifting with the baby. So let me know if you can't take any driver's ed.

Yeah, I can't take you anymore. But here's an amazing driving school.

I just want to say you're completely valid and like, in your not wanting these people spending an by the way there and back an hour a day together before they work together because they work on the same team, by the way.

I'm unequivocal about this. There's no but she need. She needs nothing.

You've done enough.

By the way, she's got a job, she's got a permit. She can get her license and she can get a car. She can. People do it every day. Look at me. Look at you can be done.

I agree. And so I think best in terms of actually tangible advice, blame it on the baby.

Yeah. I don't care what he has to say to get out of it, he has to get out of it. And then if you want to come up with something, if you want to be honest with him, like, you could even like change your day if you don't want to be honest with him, cuz yeah, nothing's gone wrong yet and. But women, we have to know these things. Men, like, they don't see.

They don't see.

She lives here and needs a ride.

Like logic based, not considering any sort of emotion.

Yeah, like, it's five minutes. What's the big deal? You know?

So honestly, I'm sure he's not really interested in like, spending 30 minutes with your drive to work people's commute. When you work, like a full work day in a corporate office, your 20 minutes train ride is your piece. And on the, like, on the way there, you're prepping, you're trying, like, seriously not to cry. And on the way home, you're like so relieved. It's actually a special time in a working person's life.

You might want to listen to a podcast.

Who the fuck wants to spend it with someone from work?

No, get her out of the car.

Seriously.

Tuck and roll.

Tuck and roll. Tuck and buck and roll. Good luck. That was tear toasters again. If you ever want to write in, send us an email to your toastersmail.com or head over to thetoastpodcast.com dot.
