Dragons Love Tacos Dora: Thursday, October 22nd, 2026
1h 21m 2s
The hosts of The Toast reflect on personal habits, relationships, and life experiences in a lighthearted yet insightful way. They critique germaphobia as outdated and inconsiderate, especially in close familial bonds, arguing that personal contact stems from emotional connection rather than fear of germs. The discussion takes a humorous turn when a minor injury from a car thorn leads to a vivid, self-deprecating story about awkward social moments, like being stranded at a frozen yogurt shop. Sustainability is explored through their failed attempt to buy used books, which sparked concerns about contamination and led to a decision to donate them instead. The hosts fondly recall past events like Camp Toast, particularly the energetic second event, as a symbol of creative freedom and shared joy. They also share personal wellness interests, such as the eight-sleep system, Dose for liver health, and financial tools like Rowan by Rocket Money. Pop culture updates—like the Glee reboot casting and Fourth Wing’s new roles—are discussed with enthusiasm and skepticism. The episode touches on celebrity relationships, questioning the authenticity of claims about Kylie Jenner pressuring Timothée Chalamet to propose, and emphasizes personal growth and mutual respect in love. Throughout, the tone remains warm and self-aware, celebrating small changes, environmental care, and the shared joy of community, with a hopeful outlook on future live events and personal milestones. The episode blends personal anecdotes, humor, and thoughtful observations into a relatable and engaging narrative about modern life.
♪ Good morning girlies, it's the Toast. It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the best five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's the Toast. I sound amazing.
Welcome back to the Toast and happy Thursday. Yeah, that's right, latter half.
I woke up this morning just like convinced it was Saturday. I'm like, oh, let me hold your hand. I know. Let me, I said, let me hold your hand.
I understand why she did this. Oh, she thinks she's a rude germaphobe too? I think she's just like me.
I just want to say germaphobia is legit rude. Like, okay, yeah, you shouldn't share a drink with a homeless person, but like, I'm literally your sister. We share DNA.
Ben, sometimes it's like weird about drinks and I'm like, we have a child. Like, it's rude. I just want to say germaphobia.
It is rude.
And I actually wish my nail was longer like hers because then you could only hold my nails.
That's even less of it.
And that's not true.
Even though true germaphobes don't have long nails because there's nothing in this earth that's more disgusting than the back of your nail.
It's true.
I ate a cinnamon donut yesterday as we spoke extensively about on the podcast. I was finding cinnamon in my nails all day long.
No donuts today, guys.
It's for the best. I crashed. I literally, maybe it had to do with the fact that I started the day with like a 3,000.
Jackie, I went to bed at seven o'clock. Seven to seven, I slept. Me and Ruby did seven to seven.
You're like somber 12 to 12.
Literally.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
That is crazy.
I know.
So, no donuts for us.
So, back to you. Germaphobia is hella rude to like a person that's close in your life.
Seriously, do you think I'm disgusting?
It's not.
Wait, let's hook her up to a lie detector.
When I think about why I don't want to hold your hand right now, I'm not thinking about the germs.
What are you thinking of?
I'm just like.
How disgusting I am?
Do you want to be disgusting?
I think that you think I'm disgusting.
Do you want me to.
Let's just be honest about it.
You keep finishing my sentences making yourself disgusting.
Let's just be honest.
You keep finishing my sentence in a manner in which you are disgusting.
So, when you think about not wanting to hold my hand.
It's more so about like the contact of it.
I'm not interested in the contact right now.
And what about the contact?
Like the texture.
The warmth?
Like what?
The texture.
I'm going to need more than that if I'm not to be offended.
Like anytime I'm like Ben's drinking water.
It's just like my personal space, you know?
When Ben's drinking water, I'm like can I have a sip?
He's like yeah, let me just take my last sip and then I'll give you the rest.
And it's like why can I be like that?
Well, that's a separate issue between you and your husband.
That's literally rude.
That means like you think I'm disgusting.
So, why did you start a family with me, you know?
Yeah.
Well, sometimes I just want my personal space.
Most of the time I want my personal space.
But sometimes like I'll allow a hug or something.
You will never allow a hug.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
When we did our photo shoot, I was like giving you a hug.
Well, that was because there was a check involved.
You'll hug for a check.
Nobody made me.
Nobody said like it was sort of my creative liberties.
Like nobody said if you hug, it would be a better photo.
And I just want to say I was there for the hug.
Like it wasn't like the best, warmest hug I've ever received.
It was so kind of like.
It was so performative.
Like it was so like we're on stage.
No, it was me really just feeling the moment.
That's why I like to do live shows with you.
Because like we hold hands when we walk out and like we hug at the end.
And it's probably like the most physical contact I've ever gotten from my sister ever.
We do need to book some live shows, by the way.
I know.
Giggly Squad showing us up.
Four Nights at MSG.
Nothing like that.
No, no.
A local.
A local residency.
Something here.
Something there.
A hundred percent.
No, no.
The rest of the country will have to wait.
For almost a decade.
I think a decade is like fair to say.
A time will come, you guys.
Just stick with us through the years.
Like obviously we're in our like postpartum, pregnant, mama years, young kids.
Era.
But a time will come where we're done with that.
Where we're getting liposuction and breast lifts and Botox and Ozempic.
And we're going to go on tour.
And the kids are off to school.
And they're going to be like grown.
And like they can live without us for like a week here, a week there.
The time will come.
And I just want to let you know like your patience will be rewarded.
It will be probably a decade from now.
But isn't it fun to have something to look forward to?
Time flies, honestly.
So true.
So true.
Time flies.
I don't want to make any promises.
I can't keep.
But like Camp Toast.
Oh.
Camp Toast.
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
Like what if we just ran it back?
We're going to have to cut that out.
What if we ran it back?
I'm just saying like anything is possible, man.
Wow.
You bringing up toast in the year 2027 is crazy.
Toast?
Camp Toast.
Sorry.
I look back on Camp Toast fondly.
So do I.
I go through periods, of course, like right after.
It was the most amazing thing.
Like the second one.
The first one was really rainy.
Did it rain?
And it was like smaller.
And it was like.
Did it rain?
Did it rain?
Did it rain?
Did it rain?
And it was very special.
And if you were there.
It was an experimental event.
It was a very special like incubation period.
The second one was balls to the wall.
We had gotten some sponsors involved.
We took over the whole camp.
We were able to do a bit.
We had the Glambot 360.
Oh, yeah.
It was, you know, firing on all cylinders.
And then the third one never happened, right?
Because of COVID.
Correct.
Did we ever get our deposit back?
Yes.
We did?
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
That was very hard.
So when I think of Camp Toast, I do think of the second one.
Because that was like what future Camp Toast could be.
I just.
I don't know like if when we are in that era of like being snatched, like ready to go.
If we want to like go to like sleep in a bunk.
Isn't that our favorite?
I think we're going to have like old bones, you know?
We'll bring like.
What are those eight sleeps everyone's talking about?
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
I know you want one.
I do.
Let the world know.
Manifest it.
I was actually just going to get one.
Manifest.
I can't escape the eight sleep.
First, I'm watching the U.S. Open and it's like logos everywhere.
And you know, when a brand has like that much money, I'm like, oh, your product sucks.
Like that's just the assumption.
Like you're spending too much money on marketing.
Like too much to prove.
And I didn't even know what it was.
Let me tell you.
Everyone in my life is like, you have an eight sleep.
You have an eight sleep.
I'm like, no, I don't have this $4,000 machine that air conditions your bed.
Now, I kind of want one.
I just feel like if anyone were to have one, it would be you.
Because you guys know being warm is my trigger.
And I was actually extremely warm in my sleep last night.
It also heats it.
And I also love a heating pad.
So I think I need to get an eight sleep.
I think it's time.
This is not a sponsorship, although I am hoping for a free one.
I don't think I need one.
I like sleep is great for me.
that's like not my issue with sleep you know like when i can get it it's great right right so
if you guys want to send me one i'll refuse i'll take it refuse the delivery okay you're
going to send her um but we were saying camtos oh so i go through waves of how i think about
camtos obviously immediately after it was the best thing that ever happened then of course
the life of regret the disgruntleds came out right but now like with even more distance like
it was so unbelievable it was completely unique not ever been done before it was so much fun
yeah we like ourselves had a blast but maybe we only had fun because we didn't have to wait
online and we sat and had lunch with our friends that does sound fun like i can't lie um it is
thursday i just want to remind everyone we're keeping our promise dear toasters will be on air
today i don't know how i'm feeling about the thursday transition i i i feel like it wasn't
necessary this week because like we could have done it on tuesday we can't keep moving it no
but like you just we had one short week and all of a
sudden it was because it was columbus day and then tuesday was a busy day so we moved to thursday
but honestly thursday is a busy day we always try and get uh out of here at a certain time okay but
also tuesdays are tough because it's a day of dancing with the stars there's almost like a lot
of pre-dancing there's nothing yes there is no i'm telling you we moved it for a reason and we're
gonna try it i think you see what goes i think it was premature but i don't know yeah i'm not loving
it so far even though this is the first week this is the second week well because last week was the
short week because we physically couldn't do it i just feel like exception makes bad law and last
week and we made and then we made a law okay aristotle law is reason free from passion do you
not agree we made a new law on a week of exception and it was a bad law chills it was a bad law i have
chills okay so that's what happened okay i started a new book last night calamity club good for you
i started two new books actually but i stopped reading the first one i'm not like shaded or
anything i just like it was like i just was realizing like i just don't think it's for me
um you should say the book like
no because i really like the author okay and she wrote like one of my favorite books so like i just
i don't know it was just more than i just felt like i bit off more than i could chew so i started
calamity club because i've been hearing amazing things and i'm only five percent in so yeah it's
good but what do i know right what and i heard like i saw when you take the jacket off of it
like it's pargy so i have to order it good good good so i have to order it too i've got all these
like i bought all these used books yeah um because i want to buy all the books that you buy a used
book but you won't hold your sister's hand well no i'm not going to buy all the books that i read
i think now i would sooner hold your hand so i thought i was so fucking rude i thought i was
like hacking life because i'm i'm now buying all the books that that i love because i don't own
them because i read on kindle and on amazon you can buy used books so i was like i don't need a
brand spanking new 18 book this is so cardboard of you jackie i've never even thought for one
second about buying a used thing on amazon it's just for show so like why does it have to be
brand new i don't really care and i'm taking the jacket off so like so a book that looks more
aesthetic aesthetic i'm shocked to hear you went for the used option on so i bought a bunch of used
books and i was like bradley some of them came from like libraries bradley and so i was like so
excited i made a reel about it and then like a couple people in the comments like just flagged
for me like the hygienics they were like make sure to put your used books in the freezer for 24 to 48
hours like why though why because of like the lice and the scabies of like book bugs yeah and mold
oh my god what have you done
so i put them all in the freezer they're still in the garage you put them in the garbage no they're
in the garage freezer they'll be there for literally an eternity i'm not buying any more
used books like seriously yuck very broadly of you i tried okay so now you can't say like i didn't
try to be like sustainable but you weren't trying to save money you were trying to like make the
aesthetic no i was trying to save money because it would have been thousands oh i'm proud of you
then so i really was it was a dollar wow really yeah that's like in the city strand like they're
random tables of books you could literally buy them for like and honestly one of them like i
just threw away you overpaid for i just threw it away it was disgusting okay i'm ashamed i don't
know why i didn't think it through like think i just like assume like if i read a book and then
i donated it like it would look great right but
What if, like, 35 people read the book, and the book lived at their house, and lived at
the beach, and lived in the basement, and they moved, and they put it in a box, and
they left it in the car, and it was warm?
I actually want to throw up.
Just, okay.
So, like, should I throw those freezer books away, or, like?
No, because now that you've frozen them, like, maybe they're fine, and if they're still giving
you, like, the willies, donate them again.
Restart the cycle.
Oh, that's bad.
Okay, donate them again.
To, like, a library or something.
Instead of throwing them away.
Yeah, I'll donate them again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to throw them away.
Right in the incinerator.
I'm going to donate them to the garbage can.
I won't throw them away.
That is funny.
So, yeah, I tried, okay?
You did.
We're proud.
Jaggi, let's all say it together, you guys.
We're proud of you.
No, can I go release some funds, please?
Yeah, right.
Go release.
Go release.
Amanda Francis' wedding looked beautiful.
It did look beautiful.
I miss her.
She wore a red lip.
I miss her.
I don't, but I wish, I genuinely wish her the best.
A red lip is a classic.
It is a classic look.
It is, except, you know, makeup artists say, like, you're never supposed to wear a red
lip on your wedding day, just because, like, you're kissing so many people, you're talking,
it gets all over your dress, it gets all over your husband, it gets all over the face.
But hers looked. Do you think Taylor wore a red lip for her wedding?
I was just going to ask you that.
I do.
I hope it wasn't that coral shade, though.
No, no, it's her classic, it's Pat McGrath.
Like, she would definitely, like, the color of that, like, red.
Sometimes it's off.
Like, we were just looking at that Eris premiere photo.
Yes, yes, because I think sometimes she tries to complement the shade of red to, like, what
she's wearing.
But in recent years, she's stopped playing around, and she uses the same, as far as I
know, Pat McGrath lip.
Pat McGrath is going out of business, though.
I wonder what that means for Taylor Swift's lips.
She'll probably, like, buy all the. You can also, like, make your own lipstick.
Okay, cardboard.
You're so cardboard today.
Sorry, that's not what I meant.
Like, in a lab, like, bring the shade that you like, and, like, have them make you just
one lipstick.
It's actually quite un-cardboard.
It's interesting that she never, like, wore a Rare Beauty lip, you know?
Or, like, did it with Rare Beauty.
Like, everyone knows it's, like. Oh, like a collab?
It's, like, her bestie.
Well, I mean, she's not going to look ugly for her friend.
Yeah.
Not that Rare Beauty's ugly.
No, it's actually pretty good.
But, like, I'm going to wear my best color.
Period.
No matter who manufactured it.
Period.
Oh, so, I was watching the Norm Macdonald, and he had this bit that, like, I actually
keep thinking about.
It's so funny about how, like, you know, humans say that they have, like, unconditional love.
But, like, there's only real unconditional love in the world.
It's, like, from a dog.
Because if you think about it, like, Hitler had a dog.
And there was a dog in the world that woke up every morning and was like,
Where's Hitler?
It was really funny.
I just thought of that.
Bruno.
Bruno.
Bruno.
Hitler.
My love.
Stry.
From a swing well.
Oh, actually, I want to get, like, the class's opinion on something.
Because Bruno's scared of the steps in my house.
He will not come all the way up the steps.
He will go about halfway.
There's, like, a landing halfway.
And he won't go up to the landing, but the step before it.
And then Margot came, and she was, like, obviously appalled by this.
And so she put a piece of kibble on every step.
Because, you know, he's very food motivated.
She's, like, really one of those.
No, she literally came over like a trainer.
Yeah, right.
To train him how to go up the steps.
She put a piece of kibble on every step.
He's very food motivated.
Bruno would risk his life.
For a meal.
He has, many times.
For a bite of food.
When he ate that bag of dark chocolate.
Bruno does not fear death.
He fears nothing.
The only thing left to fear is fear itself.
Is the stairs.
Yeah.
He wouldn't.
The kibble was right in front of him.
He wouldn't?
He wouldn't.
He wouldn't.
And he still won't.
And so we are getting a runner for the steps.
Okay, but maybe, maybe it's not that he won't.
Maybe it's that he can't.
But how come he can do the first half of steps?
Maybe he gets, like, tired.
How old is he?
No, but then he stands on the step and cries there.
Head on end.
Until someone comes and gets him.
How old is he?
He's five.
Oh, that's young.
He's a COVID baby.
Oh, our little COVID baby.
So I want to, we are getting a runner for the steps.
But it's, like, not here yet in its customs.
It's going to be a while.
I feel like that will, I mean.
She's trying to out Bradley now.
Like, I have a custom runner.
We got a custom runner.
It's going to roll, okay?
And I don't buy these books.
And I don't buy these $1 books.
I buy books made of diamonds.
So I just said customs to let you guys know.
That's why it's, like, not here yet.
And I don't know when it's going to be.
Because I feel like that will make the steps maybe less slippery if he's, like, afraid of the slip.
Does Bruno sleep with you?
How does he get to your room?
I have to bring him with me.
Oh, he's a big boy, too.
And he's a big boy.
And I'm usually carrying a snack.
Of course.
There's multiple.
If it's that kind of night.
Yeah.
And a drink.
Maybe, like, a laptop and a phone.
No, exactly.
No, I know.
And this dry guy.
Oh, that's really.
So I'm hoping the runner helps.
But, like, has anyone experienced this?
And what have you done?
Well, you know, I did experience something similar where Theo, like.
I know.
Every time Bruno won't jump up, they say he's dying.
Well, one of the first signs of cancer in my boy, Theo, was that he wouldn't jump up
on the bed.
And we were like, get up here.
Like, what are you doing?
And we'd have to pick him up.
And he would, like, yelp every time.
Turns out, cancer.
Every time Bruno looks funny, they're like, he has cancer.
Well, sorry, like, we're all collectively scarred and we want Bruno to live.
I know.
But you're just always trying to, like, munch house in Bruno.
So Bruno and Magnolia, sorry, Ratnolia, are from the same breeder that Theo was from.
So I just think we should all be looking out.
And the belief is that Theo's cancer was genetic, not environmental.
Jacuzzi.
No, no.
I gave Romeo, what's his name, Theo.
There was a question mark at the end of that sentence.
That wasn't a statement.
I did believe.
I did believe it was a poor and inbred facility.
You think it was genetic?
That would put Bruno and Magnolia's health into question.
At risk.
And that's why we're just aware of it.
Because Romeo is not from that facility.
Yeah.
Like, I have written off that facility.
And you don't.
I do think Theo's cancer could have been environmental.
And I'm not saying in your home, but I'm saying in the streets.
That's a crazy streets.
I think you're victim blaming.
And I would expect nothing less from you.
I don't think that was victim blaming.
But sound off in the comments.
So you're saying, like, Theo gave himself.
the cancer his environment i think that that he's a victim of the poor air quality yeah of poor air
air quality and congestion thousand percent and pollution one thousand percent and that's why we
should recycle that's why we should recycle i love that to save theo's life i think he'll back like

I hope you're loving life in your dungeon, Dora.
Dragons love tacos, Dora.
Tidal.
Tidal.
Today's episode is so one that would hypothetically earn us a Golden Globe, don't you find?
So far, but let's not jinx it.
Yeah, I know.
I just feel like we're kind of on a roll.
Have we said anything offensive?
No.
And I'm keeping it tight these days.
And I tried to buy used books.
Yeah, right, right.
And we love the. And we said recycle.
We said pollution.
This is a positive show.
We said pollution.
Hope.
Air quality.
Golden Globe.
Just something to think about to all the members voting.
Just a suggestion.
I like suggestions.
The things we care about.
We want you to know who we are at our core, and this is what we care about.
Mm-hmm.
I guess we could get into the stories.
There we go.
17 minutes have passed.
Seriously, what did we say?
So much.
I don't even remember.
Because you were so busy Bradley-ing.
Because I was busy, like, chipping away every dollar.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
I also got an injury yesterday.
It looks fine.
It was kind of your fault.
Oh, please.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't Claudia's fault at all.
It was actually my fault.
I got stranded.
It was actually my fault for being Bradley once again.
Just because I've been so cheap.
So we had our photo shoot.
Maybe I need to leave Florida.
Like, I think maybe I'm having too much of an impact on you.
No, it's true.
We had our photo shoot last week, and there were a lot of, like, cute props on set and,
like, ceramics and stuff.
And they said, because I was in my ceramic. They were watching your shelf saga.
They said, these props.
Like, do you want them?
They were watching my shelf show.
And they were like, you can take some of the props.
So I took a bunch of ceramics.
And, like, one of them had, like, little flower stems in it.
And I put them in my car.
I took out the ceramics.
But then yesterday, I picked you up from a blowout.
Your hair looks great.
Thank you so much.
I got stranded at the shopping center.
Like, don't ask.
I'll tell you guys all about it because my Volvo arrived.
And it was just, like, cleaning off the front seat.
I saw there were these little buds.
So I just, like, scraped them from the interior.
And it was a thorn.
And it pricked me so bad.
My fingers started gushing blood when I'm driving.
She pulls up with, like, literally, like, a wound.
And I was, like, with gauze.
I'm like, are you okay?
No, it was, like, I had to, you know, make it work moment.
I felt like such a teenager, like, getting picked up.
And, like, I got stranded.
Oh, she got frozen.
I got frozen yogurt.
Because I saw your location.
You were still, like, six minutes away.
And there was, like, a frozen yogurt shop.
By the way, you said the time I was there at that time.
So you were six minutes early.
She did an amazing blowout.
And then I was, like, left early.
And I didn't have anywhere, like, to go.
So I walked over to the frozen yogurt place.
And it was, like, it was after school.
It was, like, 4 o'clock.
It was so packed.
I actually felt, like, so insecure.
Like, there was, like, you know, literally the scene in Mean Girls.
Like, JV jocks.
Cool Asians.
Like, I was literally, like.
You and Karen.
I couldn't find anywhere to sit.
Like, I literally took my ice cream.
Did you take it in the toilet?
And I basically ate on the toilet.
Like, I had to stand outside waiting for you with my ice cream.
It was just, like, humiliating.
But I wanted to share.
Sorry.
I got my Volvo.
It came yesterday.
And then Ben and I, like, he dropped me off.
And then he was going to come.
Pick me up.
But I had the key in my car.
Like, it was a whole stupid thing.
Right.
So she didn't have a car.
Even though she has five cars.
Even though now I have, like, multiple vehicles.
I had no way to get home.
And I'm just loving my Volvo.
You are?
Have you seen it?
I saw you.
Because I dropped you off.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
But, like, have you been inside?
No.
No.
No.
You should definitely hop in.
It's so elite.
I made a TikTok that I'm going to post shortly.
I'm really excited about it.
Can I get a sneak peek?
Yeah.
Shout out to the person in the comments from yesterday who gave me the idea.
Apparently.
in Freaky Friday.
Oh, sorry.
When Lindsay Lohan is in Jamie Lee Curtis's body
and the husband tries to kiss her
and she's like, oh no.
And he's like, do you want me to pick you up
or are you going to pick up the Volvo?
And she was like, oh, I will most definitely
be picking up the Volvo.
So here, like sneak peek.
Ready?
Okay, hold on.
Just don't worry about that part.
Ready?
I will most definitely be picking up the Volvo.
It needs like a little bit of editing, obviously.
This is just raw.
Cute, right?
Super cute.
Oh, I will most definitely be picking up the Volvo.
Like literally me.
Love that.
Yeah, me too.

Okay, let's get into the stories without further ado.
Yeah, sorry.
I also wanted to say something.
We are recording a little bit late today
because I had to go to the doctor.
All good, all good.
But Ben was there with me and you know,
like,
pregnancy is annoying
because sometimes you get into like a fit of laughter
and like you can't stop.
So they had me turn on my side
and so Ben was like behind me.
Like my back rack was sticking out.
And so I like flagged Ben
and he like looks at me
and I just like flashed him my crack.
It was like this hard muscle thing.
Ben like chuckled.
Jackie, I couldn't contain myself afterwards.
Like I was actually in tears
and they're like trying to do all the things
like my blood pressure
and I'm just like,
oh my God,
I was in tears laughing so hard.
I couldn't get out of it.
Like for the,
for the rest of the appointment,
I was like trying to like stop.
Oh my God.
I was laughing.
I just kept thinking like,
I'm so funny.
Like,
I just thought it was like the cleverest like
and how much fun Ben must be having.
And they stopped.
I forgot to tell you that when I got here.
Oh man,
I actually like,
I had to end the appointment.
I could not stop laughing.
Like she was like,
it's okay if you laugh.
And I was like,
no,
you don't understand
because she didn't see it.
Yeah,
of course.
She doesn't know why you're laughing.
She was like,
I was like,
sorry.
I'm just like,
I can't.
Thank God she didn't see it.
I was like,
sorry.
I'm just cracking myself up.
You are cracking.
You're cracking yourself up.
Oh my God.
It's just like a little like.
Ben didn't even think it was that funny.
It's not a doctor's appointment for Claudia
if she's not showing her ass.
It's true.
It's true.
I kind of live to show my ass.
At the doctor.
Oh my God.
I forgot about that.
Oh my God.
The difference between you and me.
I would never.
No,
of course.
I just like,
it was like a boring appointment.
I was just like,
I felt like the wind.
I'm looking forward to cracking up.
I felt like a stiff breeze
and I was like,
oh,
my crack's hanging out.
I don't even notice,
you know?
And Ben's behind me.
I'm like,
I wonder if he saw it.
He's probably like being respectful.
Like didn't even.
No,
Ben was on his phone the whole time.
Like I'm like,
yeah,
I know.
I'm like,
I'm over here.
Like,
you know,
growing a child.
Can you like pay attention
at the appointment?
Unacceptable.
Totally.
Okay.
Now,
without further ado.
Oh no.
Oh no.
We shouldn't have let you say it.
You know,
like,
okay,
no,
I'm fine.
Now,
without further ado,
it's time for the Fast Five Stories
that you need to do,
need to know.
And the Fast Five Stories
that you need to know
are brought to you by Minky Couture.
Obviously,
we respect high fashion here.
We respect haute couture.
And most importantly,
we respect Minky Couture.
So Minky Couture is a company
that makes blankets.
And you've probably seen the blanket
all over social media.
They are so,
so popular.
You've also probably seen
a couple of copycat brands
because they are the inventor.
Minky Couture is the inventor
because it hugs you back.
It's stretchy.
It's plush.
It's double-sided.
And they're the original creators of it.
And you know,
no matter how many Chanel bags you borrow,
you will never be a lady.
Like,
you need the real thing.
I've never had a blanket
that feels anything like this.
Honestly,
Jackie got one first.
I remember her talking about it
and I was just like,
how special can it be?
Like,
it's just a blanket.
There are a lot of good blankets.
And it turns out
there's actually not.
There's only one
and it's Minky Couture.
Oh,
I put you on to Minky?
Yeah,
you had one first.
And I remember you were like
talking about it
either in an ad or not.
And I was just like,
okay,
but like,
it's a blanket.
No,
no,
it's a life-changing vessel.
It's a life-changing device.
Absolutely.
Especially for a pregnant woman.
And they have different sizes.
You get them for kids.
You can get them for babies.
They also are like
our female-owned business.
I do a lot of philanthropy.
So they've donated
over 100,000 of the mini Minkys
to NICUs across the country.

Today's episode
is also brought to you
by Dose.
I think a lot of millennial moms
are rethinking a lot of things
that you're putting in your body.
But let's not pretend
we're just like giving up
our nightly glass of wine
and all becoming saints.
Something you can do
to start being more intentional
about supporting your liver
is Dose.
The liver is the organ
that does a lot
every single day.
And honestly,
I don't think it crosses
a lot of people's minds
until they have kids.
And that's why a lot of people
start taking Dose
for your liver.
So Dose for your liver
is a plant-centered supplement.
It's clinically proven
to promote liver health.
There's no pills,
no capsules,
no powders.
Dose for your liver
is a no mess
and really easy to absorb
inside your body.
It's a delicious
two-ounce shot.
It tastes just like orange juice.
Ben discovered Dose
like a year ago.
He's obsessed with it.
And when you think about
what the liver actually does
and like why it's important
to keep your liver healthy
is because it's basically
the filter for your body.
It processes everything
you consume,
performs over 500
daily functions.
So think of production,
digestion, bloating.
The liver's really key
in making these processes happen.
And when it's overworked,
you will feel it.
So it's important
that we take care of it.
New customers can save

First story,
a little more
Glee reboot news.
They decided to do it
and now, like,
the hits start coming
and they don't stop coming.
Lea Michele is returning
for the Glee reboot
as Rachel Berry.
So yesterday we discussed
Disney and Hulu's
reboot of Glee
and now a source said
Rachel Berry is back in.
As Rachel.
As Rachel, yeah.
Yeah.
Two more people who posted
it seems to confirm
that they will play
their roles are
Heather Morris
who played Brittany S. Pierce
and Cordova Street
who played Sam Evans.
Cordova Street would be
a good name.
New Mr. Shoe.
Agreed.
Cordova Street is so cute.
Like, I love him.
I didn't see that
Cordova Street had posted.
I saw that Brittany S. Pierce did.
Now, it's clearly not
what we had said yesterday
where it's like
a whole new cast.
I don't know what it's going to be.
I do trust Ryan Murphy.
I mean, anyone who can create Glee can really do anything.
Yeah.
And he's not like a one-hit wonder.
He's created a lot of really good shows.
No, right.
Brad Falchuk, of course.
Bring back Holly.
Like, if we're bringing people back, bring back Holly Holliday.
You know what I mean?
The substitute teacher.
She could be the new Mr. Show.
I don't know.
Like, obviously, I'm excited.
Like, I love Rachel Barry Glee.
When I think about, you know, I need to start writing this down.
Because when I think about TV characters who, like, made an impact and, like, literally raised me,
we say Dr. Mindy Lahiri, Jenna Maroney, Rachel Barry has to be in there.
And I thought of another one the other day.
Oh, Fran Fine.
They are all the same person.
Fran Fine, you think, too?
A little bit different, but the first three that you mentioned.
Someone just remember that for me.
Because every time I'm always like, oh, I am.
These are my people.
So, obviously, like, I'm excited about it.
I'm very protective of Glee, of course.
I think Glee is a perfect show, with the exception of, like, a couple of episodes, of course.
And I do worry, of course, about preserving the legacy of something that's deeply important to me.
So, I'm not, like, automatically on board.
I just want to say.
Yeah.
Even as, like, the biggest Gleek ever.
Like, we literally went to the Gleesh concert at National Coliseum when we were, like, 12.
So, hate on me and run your mouth.
Maybe I don't care.
Say no more.
The words are said to knock me down.
What about Harry Shum?
I mean, he's so busy as a doctor.
Well, look, what's with the Glee erasure on Dancing with the Stars?
They talk all the time.
Oh, maybe because it highlights the fact that he's a dancer.
Or because he's a dancer.
Or maybe because Grey's is an ABC show.
They're just, like, really synergetic, plugging his ABC show.
But, like.
But the Glee reboot is Disney and Hulu.
And this has obviously been in the works for more than one minute.
Well, they talked about, like, when Amber Riley came.
They didn't even, like, say, like, you're a Glee cast.
They never even say Glee.
That's weird.
And it is Disney and Hulu.
Yeah.
Interesting that it's Disney and Hulu.
I thought that Ryan Murphy had, like.
Well, of course.
Glee was on Fox.
But I thought Ryan Murphy had, like, a huge production deal with Netflix.
Where's Fox in the streamers?
Streamers.
Great question.
What does Fox belong to?
Who owns Fox?
Isn't it, like, News Corp?
Who's News Corp?
Who owns.
Like, what streaming service?
If you're watching a show.
Like.
Oh, wait.
Like, Masked Singer.
Like, where could you watch Masked Singer?
It's Paramount?
Maybe.
I did record Masked Singer on the Paramount lot.
Or was it CBS?
Oh, they're the same thing.
Fox, CBS, Paramount?
Now it's DreamWorks.
Yeah, yeah.
No, what's it called?
Skydance.
Skydance.
Skydance.
And Fox is on what streaming service?
I think it's, like, the new.
The new Skydance, Paramount.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Redstone?
Redstone?
Viacom?
What's Redstone?
Viacom.
No, no.
What is Redstone?
Is that a company?
I don't know.
Isn't that Viacom Redstone?
I've never heard of Redstone.
Is that a channel?
Like, what are you saying?
No, no.
It's like a Viacom Redstone.
Thank you.
It's a person.
Sumner Redstone.
He was the chairman of Viacom.
Thank you.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Now you're knowing the chairman of the board.
Of course.
I know people in high places.
You literally.
Because I am.
I'm really big on this.
And I reuse books.
I reuse books.
Like, obviously, I'm excited about this.
It's, like, hard to get excited when reboots are overwhelmingly disappointing.
And Glee is perfect.
Glee.
I saw people talking about this.
Like, it was like a super cut of all the most offensive things they've ever seen.
But it was, like, offensive towards everyone.
And the top comment was so true.
Like, offensive to all is offensive to none.
Thank you.
They really said the craziest shit on that show.
And it's just like, if you're going to keep that energy up, great.
I don't know.
I don't know if the world can handle it right now.
But if that's the type of show it is, like, I was cracking.
The world needs it.
A thousand percent.
I think the world is desperate for it.
That's why our show is so popular.
I agree.
I agree.
Even though we're a bunch of books environmentalists.
Used book reading environmentalists who can't wait for the Golden Globes
premiering on CBS in January, which I'll be watching because I watch every year,
whether or not I'm involved.
Because it is, like, the really, really entertaining award show.
Consistently the best host.
And I love the production of it all, like, yeah.
Yeah, and the dinner.
Oh, it's so fun, yeah.
Are you ready for our next story?
Kylie Jenner is allegedly putting pressure on Timothee Chalamet to propose, but the actor
is not there yet.
It's just not true.
So, Page Six is reporting that Kylie is ready to get engaged and has made it pretty clear
to Timothee that she sees marriage in their future.
She's not giving him ultimatums or demanding a ring, but she's definitely making her feelings
known and hoping he'll get there sooner rather than later.
It's putting some pressure on Timothee to take that next step.
I just don't believe it.
Let me tell you why.
The Kardashians are not huge.
They're not in marriage.
They do a lot of, like, relationships, and I think a lot of them, like, reflect poorly
on the marriages that they did have.
Lamar, Kanye.
So, I don't think they're, like, obsessed with marriage.
And Kylie specifically is, like, a billionaire.
You have a lot of things, you know, paperwork, finances.
Like, sometimes it's okay to do, like, the Kurt and Goldie thing.
Yeah.
I don't see Kylie, like, itching to get married.
She's also not, like, so traditional.
I would like to see her get engaged, and I feel like for her, even if she doesn't really
see, like, marriage necessarily in the future.
And by the way, we've said the same thing about Taylor.
Like, if Taylor Swift can get married, then Kylie Jenner can.
No, I feel like what we said about Taylor is, like, that's all true, but she's such,
like, a corny, traditional romantic.
I know, but it's, like, from a business perspective, if Taylor can get married, then so can Kylie.
Anyone can, yes.
But I imagine that Kylie would want some sort of level up in her relationship.
Commitment.
Whether it's just a proposal and a ring and they're on fiance and they're, like, partners.
But you don't want to be someone's girlfriend forever because you could just, like, turn
around and walk away from a girlfriend.
Didn't she do that with Travis?
Like, they wore rings and said, like, wifey.
But they never. I wasn't following that relationship closely.
I feel like that's what they did.
Now, a good way to level up in a relationship is also to have a child.
Yeah.
Not that, you know, we should all be having children just to lock down men.
I think that's actually a terrible reason.
Really?
Yeah, I do.
Like, obviously, a child is beautiful and it's a blessing no matter what.
But I think a lot of people actually, like, get pregnant, like, to hold down a man.
And it's, like, well, the man was never worth holding down.
And now you have a kid with the worst person in the world.
So, like. Yeah.
I think there's different situations, you know, because that reminds me of just, like, all
those Tristan Thompson girls who, like, try.
And, like, drag him into staying and he won't.
It's, like, almost Blac Chyna and Rob.
Like, their reasons for having a baby were so bad.
Now, of course, Dream is beautiful.
But then I also, like, hear of, like, girls in situations where it's just, like, sort
of circling the drain.
And they like it.
Like, they're. And it's, like, just. Sure.
Force is hand.
Sure.
Yes.
But I think sometimes when you have to force someone, like, there's another reason.
It's, like, maybe because they suck.
But I'm sort of talking that in more in real life situations, not celebrities.
Celebrities.
Because I don't know celebrities, you know?
Oh, I do.
As, like, a celebrity myself.
No, like, so I'm saying, like, probably not, you know?
And their track records aren't good for, like, sticking around.
Yeah.
I'm saying, like, sometimes, like. Poke a hole.
That's Jackie O's official advice.
Poke a hole and read a used book.
Like, I could just see a Dear Toaster situation, you know?
Where it's, like. Yes.
No.
And I hear what you're saying.
Like, in real life applications of love and relationships, like, sometimes just getting
pregnant kind of is the fix-all that we needed.
It just is the kick in the pants that you needed to get serious about someone that,
like, you want to see.
That you want to spend the rest of your life with who's, like, sort of, like, being a little
wishy-washy, but, like, you know would step up to the plate and be a good dad and be a
good husband.
Now, with Timothy and Kylie, I do think he's actually serious about Kylie.
So, I think this report is fake.
But wanting, like, a commitment from your partner, I don't know.
I just feel like Kylie's in charge.
Do you know what I mean?
I feel like she's not, like, waiting for Timothy.
I don't know.
I think they're equally in charge, but I don't know that, like, just Kylie's in charge.
Because I think she does a lot of things the Timothy way.
Oh, I think, like, Timothy thinks he's in charge, but Kylie runs this game.
Like, it's just obviously, like, the Kylie show.
Like, Kylie's Kylie.
Like, the reaction to her at the, first of all, can we talk a little bit about the, like,
backlash to Kylie?
You know, people being like, she's not a model.
There are girls who've walked their whole life.
And it's like, girl, shut up.
Like, I seriously cannot take the Kylie slander.
Like, the only reason anyone was talking about that show, it's not because of the models.
Sorry.
It was because of Kylie.
No, even on the Victoria's Secret Instagram or TikTok page, like, all the videos have,
like, 5 million views, 6 million views.
Kylie has 150 million.
It's just on another level.
Like, what are we talking?
Like, eyeballs on your show.
Like, it's Kylie.
And I think the fact that she came up the way that she did.
And it's funny, like, comparing her to Kendall even, who didn't even walk the show.
But, like, Kendall could have worn the fantasy bra.
And it would have been actually, like, a great.
Appropriate and fine.
But it's, like, it's actually such a slay for Kylie.
Like, yeah, she doesn't have the height of a certain model.
The experience.
Yeah.
And it's, like, but you can still have the dream job even without those physical things
that, you know, she wasn't born with.
I didn't really think about Kendall at all until I saw reports being, like, is Kendall
jealous, yada, yada.
And it was clear.
It was clear that they, the Kardashians cleared that up real quick because she has a non-compete.
I think she's.
Intimissimi.
Intimissimi.
Intimissimi.
She's the, like, has an exclusive lingerie deal.
So she can't participate in any Victoria's Secret.
Not that, she probably would have walked.
Yeah.
But, like.
Especially if Kylie was.
Would it have, I think it would have been weird for her to walk if Kylie was, like,
the big surprise.
I think so.
But I also feel like then Kendall could have worn the bra.
Yes.
If she was able to, eligible to walk.
But that wouldn't have been as big of a surprise.
I think the fact that it wasn't.
It would have been, like, kind of expected.
Someone we've never seen on a Victoria's Secret one way, but who obviously has model-like
gorgeous looks.
Model-like qualities.
I think it was, it was so perfect.
I think anyone who's saying anything is just a hater.
A thousand percent.
And, like, oh, we're back to hating the Kardashians.
And genuinely, like, if you don't get joy from Kylie Jenner, I feel bad for you.
I agree.
She's everything.
She's such a joyous individual to be a fan of.
It's so true.
Like, obviously the visuals are beautiful.
But she's got a great personality, too.
And the lore and the Timothy and the event.
It's great.
Like, what are we talking about?
And the orange for Marty Supreme.
Like, you're missing all of that.
It's true.
That weird Milanese award show where they made their debut.
The Roma.
The David Roma.
Oh, my God.
I'm so excited for the Davids this year.
Not as excited I am for the Golden Globes.
I know.
But I would say, like, my, once, like, I'm thinking outside the country, it's the Davids.
Yeah.
But, you know, the Golden Globes, that kind of is a global affair.
They're probably the biggest award show on Earth.
On the planet.
Yeah.
So what are the Davids when you've been nominated to be nominated for a Globe?
Literally nothing.
What are the Davids?
Literally nothing.
Period.
I don't think that this report is true.
I don't think it's true.
But if it is, Timothy, give Kylie whatever she wants.
Like, you're so lucky to be in her presence.
Like, we only think you're cute because of Kylie.
But, like, and they could do this forever.
I'm not complaining.
But, like, it does get to a point where it's like. how do you level up in any way?
Yeah, I don't know why, like, when the woman is just,
and maybe this is, like, my own internalized misogyny,
like, when she's such a powerful woman,
like, she doesn't need to be married.
Like, I really never. But doesn't, wouldn't she even want, like,
that piece of jewelry?
Like, every girl wants to wear an engagement ring.
I think she will get one.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, her and Travis. It doesn't have to be about marriage,
but, like, I do think it's natural to want more.
Hearing someone you love, like, make that commitment to you.
Yeah, and that, and he should wear a ring, too,
so that, like, when he goes out, people know.
Bitches are put on notice.
Yeah, of course.
And not just she has to wear one and be locked down?
No, but it's like, are you leaving the house without me?
No, you're not.
Sometimes he does.
Yeah.
Well, I don't believe this.
No, I don't believe it either, but it does, like,
it does bring forth this question that's sort of looming.
Yes, it's been three years.
They're of a certain age.
He says, you know, he wants to get married one day, like, so. She wants more children.
Like, they're very much in love.
They couldn't be happier.
They're each other's person.
The perfume is, oh, wow.
So the question just, again, is what's next?
That's it.
Yeah.
That's really it.
But, like, I'm happy where we are.
No, me too.
I'm blooming where I'm planted.
But it is sort of looming.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our third story?
Mm-hmm.
Which is some casting news.
Kind of major news.
Fourth Wing has their Violet and Zayden.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
So I read First Wing, Fourth Wing.
The first Fourth Wing.
Thank you.
I wasn't obsessed with it the way that other people were.
I'm really not, like, a big fantasy reader.
I feel like if I read Twilight, like, I wouldn't have even liked it before the movies.
Like, I'm not into, like, the spooky.
And then I started the second one, and I was just like,
this feels so forced.
I was only reading it because, like, everybody loves it.
And I'm so much more authentic than that.
But I know the story, and I know she's really little, and he's really big.
Yes.
I read Fourth Wing.
We read it for redheads.
Oh.
And I really liked it.
Everybody loved it.
I think it's, like, our number two book ever.
Everybody loved it.
And then I read the second one, as you do when you love a book.
And I didn't like it.
And I didn't like how it ended.
And that was it for me.
I'm not participating anymore.
Well, maybe I did read the second book.
And the end.
I remember, like, I stopped understanding.
I stopped understanding what was going on.
So it's a lot of world building.
It's this, like, fake school, like, Hogwarts-y vibes,
where, like, they ride dragons, and, like, he's a sphinx,
and she's a dinosaur.
I don't know.
And I remember in the middle of the book, I was like,
I no longer understand what world I'm in, what the rules are.
I got confused, and I just gave up.
But I actually think it would be a really good movie.
Yeah.
It could be the next Twilight.
Harry Potter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the casting, there are two unknowns to me.
So Esther McGregor will be playing Violet.
Let me see a picture.
She has a very different hair color, but she has a very sweet face.
I don't know her at all.
And then this young man, Emilio Sacraia, will be playing Zayden Ryerson.
Hot.
I don't know him either.
He looks like Belmont a little bit.
I was just going to say that.
He looks like Belmont Camelli.
I prefer this.
I prefer unknowns, especially when you think about, like,
obviously now we know Robert Pattinson, Bella Swan, but they were nobody.
They were just, like, teenagers plucked.
That's the way it should be.
Same with Belmont Camelli and Ella Bright.
Like, yes, she did play Kate Middleton for 30 seconds in The Crown.
But, like,
I don't really want to know you.
Yeah.
I think it's the right thing to do.
So they both look, it's a sexy porn book if you haven't read it.
Didn't you feel like we already read casting news about this?
No, people have been just, like, fan fiction casting it for years.
Like Michael B. Jordan.
Oh, yeah.
People wanted Michael B. Jordan.
They wanted Anya Taylor-Joy as Violet because, like, she's really little.
I wanted Olivia Jade.
Great casting.
We haven't had casting news.
People are just, like, this is very highly anticipated.
It is.
For years, just making it up.
I just want to, like, sound the alarm that this is taking a while.
Never a good time.
This is, like, years long.
We are just getting casting news.
We don't have, like, a release date or anything.
And it's going to be something that's going to be, like, massive to produce.
You guys might want to get on that.
Yeah.
Although I think, like, the books are still being written, right?
The third or fourth one.
It's not over.
Yeah.
So it's still, like, alive.
Yeah.
You know?
And then what are your thoughts on ACOTAR?
ACOTAR.
A Court of Thorn.
Thorns and Roses.
I never read it.
And obviously that's shocking to people because it's, like, this, like, really popular erotic.
Fantasy.
Like, a series.
The one time I went to read it, I just read the synopsis and I was, like, this is bestiality.
And I wasn't really into that.
Obviously, I'm not kink shaming anyone.
But, like, I think having sex with animals is weird.
Now it's, like, yeah, but the animal's, like, really a prince or whatever.
I mean, then Beauty and the Beast is bestiality.
And that's your favorite movie.
I don't think they kissed till the end.
But she was falling in love with an animal.
Bestiality is just about sex.
It's not about love.
Oh, interesting.
I think.
I just remember being, like.
For that distinction.
I just remember thinking, like, I'd have to, like, sort of shift around, like, some of my, like, morals to read this book.
Now I'm sure if I were to read it, like, Claudia, it's not like that.
But, again, I'm not into fantasy.
I'm really not.
Yeah.
I read half of ACOTAR.
I didn't like it.
So, not for me.
Yeah.
I don't really like magical realism either.
Like, I don't like.
I don't like.
I don't like spookiness.
Like, I just like books that, like, it could happen in real life.
She's so real.
Fake fiance.
You know?
She's so real.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our fourth story?
Yeah.
New list has dropped.
The creator A-list.
The 25 influencers who matter most to Hollywood.
From the Hollywood Reporter.
You know, actually, I was on this list last year.
Not to be an animal.
Were you?
Creator A-list.
Hollywood Reporter.
Yeah, I was.
Of the 25.
Well, I'm thinking that it was a much larger list last year.
And it was 25 influencers who matter most to Hollywood.
Creator A-list.
That's all I know.
I was on it last year.
It was about the creator to Hollywood pipeline is this list.
And you know what?
I wish they didn't make everything a list because I hear what they're saying.
This is actually a conversation worth having.
I think it's like these are the types of people that are putting Hollywood on its ass.
I think it's people who are stealing focus from Jimmy Fallon.
Like, people who are actually making an impact in press and in media.
Like, it's just being like top list.
No, these people are actually doing like big things.
No, but I don't even think it's like that Hollywood is threatened by them.
I think it's really that Hollywood has absorbed them.
No, they've like become a part of the ecosystem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this.
These are the 25.
And I think they nailed it with the exception of a few.
With the exception of a few.
But I also don't know everyone.
So it's like, yeah, I can say I don't know this person.
But even just the way they describe them, like, how does that relate to Hollywood?
Of course, Alex Earle.
I mean, she literally has a reality show on Netflix.
So, yeah, she's part of Hollywood.
Amelia de Meldenberg.
Chicken Chop.
Chicken Chop.
I feel like the Chicken Chop era of like it being really impactful is kind of over.
And it is ending or has just ended.
I actually feel like she's always on lists.
But if we're whittling it down to 25 of these,
I wouldn't put her on my list.
I would say compared to the other people on this list.
Actually, she is perfectly suitable for this list.
Well, she is being absorbed by Hollywood.
And she's a part of Hollywood.
She's on every red carpet.
I always just like see her doing like interviews.
She's going to be in some movie at Amazon, MGM Studios.
Like she's a part of Hollywood now.
So I would say check.
OK.
Benito Skinner.
Absolutely.
He has a show on Prime Video.
Benny Drama.
Yeah, he's a Hollywood guy.
Yeah.
Brittany Broski.
She has the Royal Court.
Which is like a place people go.
Harry Styles promotes.
Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway.
It's a big thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like a Hot Ones, so to speak.
And Hot Ones is on there.
Hot Ones is Sean Evans is on there.
And that is, of course.
Kiki Palmer's boyfriend.
Brie Morales.
I didn't know her.
I don't know her either.
You read her like bio?
Yeah.
She launched her Brie So For Real show on Instagram and TikTok.
An interview series where she asked guests to tell their personal lore.
She also gained fame as the host of Now This Is Are You OK?
show.
Oh.
I know that.
For like a TikTok man on the street show?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you know what I've noticed?
There's a lot of TikTok men on the street shows that are launching.
I mean, there's a million, but there's a lot that are like, so-and-so's on Bratata.
Yeah.
And you go to Bratata, and it's a completely new page.
The show has like no lore.
Oh, yeah.
They're just like incubating these shows.
Yeah, it's like channels.
It's like a totally like nameless and faceless thing.
All these clips go viral.
It's just about the clips.
It's not even about the show because the show's not real yet.
I feel that like the one show that has done it well is What's Poppin' with Davis, the
blonde guy who goes to Washington Square Park.
I don't know him.
It was like one of the original ones, and I think that a lot of people now copy.
And like people know him from that.
But for the rest of it, it's like, who's this host?
What's this show?
It's just like a page.
And it's just because they're standing on there with like mini mics, and they're saying,
you're on Bratata.
I'm like, oh, I didn't know Bratata.
Right.
But there is no Bratata.
Yeah.
That's what I'm noticing.
Yeah.
They're sort of like shell.
It sounds like that.
They're sort of shell company.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely.
And they're just for the clips.
It's not really about, well, do you see who's on Bratata this week?
Right.
Or like a full episode.
No, it's just a clip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Charli D'Amelio.
Where is Charli?
She is kind of slowly coming back to namesake, of course.
But no, she's been doing interviews, talking about her parents, you know.
She didn't outright say like her parents stole from us.
She was just like, yeah, like we were doing that.
But she's like doing her own thing, you know.
She should.
I think that she's like properly healing.
And I think, I mean, if you watch season one of the D'Amelio show, you know, like, I think
she hated being killed.
I think she hated being TikTok famous.
I think she hated that whole era, like that whole COVID.
Like, yeah, I think it was terrible for her.
And she's in the process of healing now.
Colin and Samir.
I don't know them.
They're creators who cater to other creators.
They host a video series breaking down the influencer economy and offering industry analysis.
And this year they hosted a sold out summit on the Fox lot dedicated to the intersection
of creators in Hollywood.
OK.
They're also starting to set up their own EP business with still secretive projects
in development with both Lionsgate and A24.
So, yeah, that sounds like premature.
Because they haven't launched yet.
They hosted one summit.
Yeah.
No, I don't know them at all.
Dar Man.
You're always talking about him.
Dar Man.
That's my king right there.
Gabby Windy.
Oh, that's funny.
I just don't think of her as a creator.
Yes.
But also, I think she's now going into like movies and TV.
She's appearing in an A24 comedy.
So I think she's actually like actually getting into Hollywood.
It's not like Hollywood's coming to her.
It's like she's going to Hollywood.
Yeah.
She's being absorbed.
Yeah.
People love her.
She's got pizzazz.
Yeah, she really does.
Grace Ryder.
Oh, I told you.
She's the TikTok comedian who's now on SNL.
Okay, but there's another one.
Skinny, skinny, skinny.
- There's another one who's also on SNL, Veronica.
- Oh, I don't know her, but she's like people,
she's the pride of TikTok, she's like Gen Z comedy.
And she's that voice behind that viral audio,
"Bring Back a Dead Relative" or "Skinny"?
- "Skinny".
- Oh, that's funny.
Veronica, do you know her?
- No, I don't.
- She's on SNL, she's now on her second season.
She's a creator.
I remember when she got cast as like the creator going to.
- Interesting.
Well, Grace has had a real positive impact.
- Oh, great.
Then we have Jack Coyne.
- Let me see him.
- His show is called "Track Star".
- I don't know him.
- Oh, is that where he has people guess the songs
they're listening to?
- Yeah, if you stop to listen to a track
and can name the artist, you won $5.
- Luke Holmes did it.
And then he has like celebrities on it.
- And then what about the confidence guy?
Who's that?
- Yeah, right, the confidence guy.
There are a lot of like sort of ambiguous shows.
So like for him to have made the list is kind of a big deal.
- Yes, and also like the ones that we know,
like the confidence, this guy.
- Show me your apartment, that Caleb guy.
- Subway takes.
- Yeah, he's on there.
- He's on here, okay.
Then we have Jake Shane, of course.
- Of course.
- He is the industry now.
- He is Hollywood.
- He runs Hollywood.
- As he motherfucking should.
That's why Hollywood's doing so well.
- Jana Craig.
- From?
- "Love Island".
- "Love Island".
- Janae, I tried again.
And she's gonna be on "Traders".
So it's like, you know,
someone who's really made the jump.
And I think that she has.
Jordan Woods.
Well, she's Hollywood first, then creator,
then back to Hollywood.
- Agreed, doesn't count.
Sorry, I love you more than anything.
And you're on my list, but you're not a creator.
- Yeah, that's not what this is.
- That's not what we're almost
about.
- Julian Shapiro Barnum.
- Let me see.
- What a name.
- Literally never heard of him.
- Shapiro Barnum.
I love.
- Your two favorite things.
- Is he related to PT?
- Jews and PT.
- He's my sister.
- Well, of course.
What does he do?
- What started as a heartwarming web series
about a 20 something guy interviewing
elementary school children for life advice
has now evolved into a sought after press stop.
Like doing a guest role on "Sesame Street".
He still hosts "Recess Therapy".
That's the show he did.
And he's expanded into celebrity substitute.
I guess he does a lot of like teachery themed shows.
- Cute.
I've never heard of it, but you know what?
That doesn't mean you're not eligible for the list.
Like I have a very niche,
like unless you're like doing ASMR,
like maybe I haven't heard of you, you know?
- Yeah.
"Recess Therapy", you haven't heard of it?
- No.
Cute name.
- Me neither.
Kareem Rama, "Subway Takes".
- "Subway Takes".
- Yeah, that's another stop.
- And that's one that I think like has elevated
from just like a random man on the street show
to like a show I recognize.
Oh, did you see who's on this week?
- And so if you're Matt Damon and you're in a movie,
you're going on "Subway Takes".
- Yeah, he's done a really good job.
- Yeah, Mina Lee.
She became known for posting thoughtful
and research commentary on both newly released
and upcoming movies and TV shows.
Like her deep dive on blondes
in the wake of FX's "Love Story".
- Let me see her.
- I just feel like if you're referencing one video
that was posted.
- Agreed.
And there is somebody on there
who does a lot of cinema content.
Reese, you've definitely seen him.
'Cause I feel like they do have to hit,
you can't just do like people who do pop culture.
Like you have to do a bunch of different genres
and categories.
And,
I feel like they kind of got the whole cinema thing covered.
- She's quickly becoming Hollywood's right hand woman
for marketing campaigns and has paid partnerships ranging
from Apple TV, HBO and Netflix to MUBI
and YouTube's Oscars programming.
A role in a yet to be announced major series is next.
Okay, "Industry Plant".
- Oh, wow. Okay.
- She had one viral video.
She had a couple of brand partnerships.
- And she has something coming out.
- She has a couple of brand partners.
Like she did sponsored posts for a couple of like-
- Brands.
- Companies.
And she has something yet to be announced.
- Agreed.
- That's not one of 25.
- Right.
- I'm so sorry to meet them.
Noah Beck.
- Also, I'm sorry, not eligible for this list.
I guess what makes him eligible is that he's in "Baywatch".
- Oh yeah, that's creator to "Hollywood Pipeline".
- But I'm sorry, that doesn't make you the top 25.
- No, it doesn't.
I forgot he's going to be in that.
- And I like him,
but like I don't think that he's worthy of the list.
Sorry if I'm being a bit-
- And what about Dixie?
- And what about Dixie?
- I'm still there.
- Yeah.
- Agreed, yeah.
If we're just talking about like creators
who have gone on to act.
- Sure, Noah Beck.
- But if we're talking about the top 25.
- And where's Delaney?
- Where is Delaney?
Although what I like about Delaney
and why I think she is so successful
is she doesn't move from her beat.
Like she's gotten really successful.
She's dated, you know, all these guys.
She still makes her crazy ass videos.
Like I think so many times-
- Her videos are so funny.
- They're so good.
I think a lot of times people get famous
or popular off of a thing.
So they go and do movies and tour and it's like,
well, what about the thing that we liked?
Like, can we keep doing that?
And I think Delaney,
she still is consistently posting X amount of times per week.
Her shit is so funny.
And yeah, she does do these like opportunities,
but she doesn't stray from the thing that made her famous.
And I actually really liked that about her,
but maybe that's why she's not on the list.
'Cause is she doing a lot of Hollywood type things?
- I don't know.
- Starring in movies?
- I just like think,
I feel like things are happening for her,
like in back rooms.
- She's so talented.
- You know what I mean?
- I hope they're talking about Delaney in back rooms.
- I feel like everybody wants to work with her
and like put them in their A24.
- A thousand percent.
Why shouldn't she be in A24?
- I agree.
- Quenlyn Blackwell.
- Classic.
- She is a creator and she-
- She's in the first season of-
- "I Love L.A."
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
And I know her from "The D'Amelios."
- Of course.
- That's how I was introduced to her.
- From "The D'Amelios" show.
- She's like an original Viner.
- I know her from Viner.
I also know where she had like this whole shtick with Diplo.
Like I know her.
- Yeah.
Reese Feldman.
- That's who I was talking about.
He does a lot of like, he's very-
- Oh, I thought it was gonna be a woman.
- No, he is like who cinema has chosen as their influencer.
Like he does awesome, but very high brow.
He was on set of-
- "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
- No.
- He was a PA.
- No, he, thank you, of "The Odyssey."
With Christopher Nolan, like document-
- Yeah, it's crazy.
- About the whole, they use those special cameras,
70 millimeters, like he is very like fancy highbrow cinema.
- Yes, he's under his guise of guy with a movie camera.
He's been hired by studios and streamers
to help promote their projects
with his particular brand of BTS content.
- So when you were talking about that girl Mina,
like he's doing that.
- Yeah, but it sounds like she's doing reviews.
- He reviews, he does it all.
He does red carpet, he does press junkets, he does reviews.
He does behind, like he just does.
- Yeah.
Sean Evans, of course, "Hot Ones" is like,
is the new late night.
Tiff Bera.
- Let me see.
No, I don't know her, what does she do?
- So she's the self-coined Cupid of New York.
She's been making videos about dating in the Big Apple.
She started by sharing her own horror stories
and now hosts several viral dating-centric series.
- Oh, is that where they sit at the table?
- "Take Me Out" and "Street Hearts."
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Belmont Connelly did it.
- Oh, she sets up like a table in the middle of the street
and like grabs two people and is like, "Go on a date."
It's cute, actually, I like it.
- Oh, that's cute.
I love that because we need more romance.
- Agreed.
No, and it's just people talking like really honestly
about dating and it's like, it's really good.
- Okay.
Veronica Slawickowska, she is the one who is a creator
who's now on SNL, so yeah.
- Oh, okay.
- Check.
Z-Way is the 25th in time.
- Is she a creator?
- Yeah.
- She got her own TV show.
Like, I feel like you get your own TV show
and then become a creator.
Like, no, it's opposite.
- Yeah, but did she get her own TV show
because she was a creator?
- I have no idea.
- What came first?
- To me, like she came to me
and the first time I saw her, she had her own TV show.
- Interesting.
- Do you know what I mean?
- That show is a TV show?
- It's on Showtime, I think.
- Yeah, okay.
It's called "You'd Be an Iconic Guest."
- Yeah, she actually was on "Watch What Happens Live"
because she recently shared like a blurred out video
of somebody getting up and leaving
in the middle of her interview.
And Andy was like trying to get her to say who it was
and she said she really won't say it.
But then she said something that people think was a clue
about it being Will Smith.
- Yeah, she like quoted one of his like lead with kindness.
- I don't think he would
because he's in a repair sort of stage, so.
- People also thought that just given like the size
of the person that they blurred,
it could have just been like a distortion,
but it looked like an overweight person.
People are just guessing based on clues.
- That's fat shaming.
Did they have guesses?
Were they naming this overweight individual?
- No, no, people were just like, "Looks like a fatty."
Like, I'm just like, they were just, we didn't get a lot.
Like the voice was muffled.
- Nightmare.
- Yeah, it was me.
- Are you ready for our fifth metal story?
- If it's our fifth metal story,
that's brought to you by Old Navy.
Thank you Old Navy for sponsoring today's episode.
Whether you're doing a full fall refresh,
just looking to add a few new denim styles to the rotation,
Old Navy has all the fits you want
and they won't break the bank.
So a lot of people are obsessed with Old Navy's denim.
And I have to tell you,
I went on a denim journey a couple of years ago
and people were like,
'cause I don't know, I'm like, what do I need?
Boot cut, high rise?
I didn't wear jeans for like a huge part of my life.
And people were like, go to Old Navy
because one, they have so many styles, so many sizes,
and the price is so good.
So you really need to try,
when you're finding your denim style,
you need to try like 10 pairs.
You need to own 10 pairs before you can really decide.
And I think a great place to experiment with denim
is Old Navy because one, they have so many good styles
and two, the price is so good.
So their wow denim is a perfect excuse
to try something new this fall.
Styles start at just $22.
There's something for everyone.
They've got extra high rise wide leg to an arc jean,
a low rise baggy, a low rise loose, and more.
You can say yes to a new fit without overthinking it.
And the thing about having jeans
as being like a girl who wears jeans,
it's like you need multiple styles.
Some jeans are like a couple hundred dollars
and I need more.
And I need multiple, I don't think so.
Styles starting at just $22, that really works for me.
You can discover all the jeans you love
in a range of sizes, colors, and washes
at jaw dropping prices.
Starting, like I said, at just $22,
you can shop all the Old Navy wow denim
at oldnavy.com, O-L-D-N-A-V-Y.com.

we're currently obsessed with their clogs.
So clogs are really everywhere lately.
You know, they're cozy.
They're comfy.
You can travel in them.
You can wear them to work.
You can dress them up.
You can dress them down.
They're very luxurious, stylish, and the Rothy's ones are amazing.
They've sold out more than 10 times.
Once you slip them on, you'll get it.
Pregnant mamas, like a slip-on shoe means everything, and you want the best, and Rothy's
is the best.
They go with everything.
They somehow make wearing sweats look intentional.
They're very soft and comfortable, and you know, Rothy's is a brand you could trust.
I have so many pairs of Rothy's.
When I'm in the city and I'm forced to walk, I always wear my Rothy's because they're so
cute.
I don't look like I have to be wearing them.
I feel like they're so cute.
I don't have to be wearing athletic sneakers, but I can walk like a bunch of blocks and
not be broken because you guys know I have flat feet, and that's something I'm currently
dealing with.
So you could snag a pair.
Again, the clogs are amazing, but check out all their shoes.
They also have, I just recently got a bunch of kids' shoes from them.
So cute.

Our fifth and final story, Kim Kardashian's intimate 46th.
birthday bash includes sisters, Rob Kardashian, and she is debuting a new look.
I loved to see my boy, Rob.
So Kim seemed to scale down the festivities this year.
She had an intimate dinner that was, of course, beautiful, but you know, for her 40th birthday,
she took everyone to an island and chartered like Air Kim 737.
So this is pared down.
Very low budget, very Bradley.
We've seen a couple of glimpses on social media, all the sisters, Rob, Kim.
Oh, it was, it was Kendall there.
I feel like that's the only one I didn't see.
I thought I saw her.
I saw Kylie, I saw Kourtney, I saw Kim, I saw Chris, of course.
Yes.
And Rob, of course.
Of course.
That's what everyone's talking about.
Rob was there.
He looked so good.
He looked so happy.
I love Rob.
I wish him the best.
Like truly.
I don't really care about Kim's birthday, but I do think it's interesting that she's 46.
That's what I was going to say.
I wanted to talk about her age because she is incredible.
I don't think she like leads with her age because she's obviously like in Hollywood.
She does lead with the fact.
She's in her 40s and she loves her 40s.
But 45 and 46 are very different because 46, like you're almost 50.
Yeah.
And the concept of Kim Kardashian being 50 in four years.
And the fact that like our sexiest woman alive, like really, you know, if you pulled the universe
every, like Kim Kardashian is the most beautiful sex symbol and that she's 46, closer to 50
than to 40 is so great.
It is.
And the Kardashians in general, I think they became really, really famous like later on
than people think.
And they've always looked great and like maintained, you know, their physiques.
They've done plastic surgery and everything.
But by the time they were like truly, truly, truly famous, Kourtney, who's the oldest, was
like almost 40.
So it's just like a little delayed in my mind because they'll always be like 32 to me.
But yeah, it's kind of awesome.
It is awesome.
I think it's like just very inspiring.
And that means like Kris is in her 70s.
Yeah.
She doesn't give 70s.
She doesn't give a grandma.
No.
And it just goes to show your best years can be ahead of you.
It's so true.
It's very inspiring.
And I think it's really like great.
It's not just like, oh, once.
You're not in your 20s.
Right.
You're over.
You're expired.
No, they like set the trends.
They set the standard.
And we know she kills herself to look young and look amazing.
She like gets up at 5 a.m., works out.
She said she would eat her own duty if it would make her look younger.
She said that.
I just want to say I wouldn't.
No, I wouldn't either, which is why she gets to look like that at 46.
But I'm not obsessed with looking young.
I am obsessed with looking thin.
And if they said, seriously, you had to eat your own poop once a month to maintain a perfect
physique without having to try.
You know what?
I just might.
Honestly.
You won't even eat a piece of broccoli.
It's pretty much the same thing, though.
Like.
You won't eat anything.
And like, I eat pretty much like whatever.
I'm not like super picky.
I'm not super adventurous.
Are you saying you wouldn't?
And I'm saying I wouldn't.
I'm saying I wouldn't.
I probably wouldn't end up doing it, but I would definitely think about it.
If I'm being honest.
Maybe drink your own pee, you know?
Oh, please.
That's easy.
Yeah.
That's recommended.
Urine's sterile and I like the taste.
Yeah.
But eating your duty will.
It'll make you sick.
Oh, well, maybe that's how you're maintaining your physique.
Hey, like, it's not without consequence.
What about like a spoonful?
Still like E.
Coli.
A thousand percent.
Kim is saying she would like no questions asked.
And that's why she gets to look at this like this at 46 because she has devoted her life
to looking well.
But I also think it's like not everyone should do that.
Not everyone can do that.
And so it's not like, oh, we all need to be like Kim and look like this at 46.
But it's just nice to know that it's possible.
But I also think there are two methods because when I think of like someone who like does
everything to stay young and healthy.
I think of like Gwyneth Paltrow, but she does it from like a very like organic.
I'm sure she has Botox or whatever, but she looks amazing for her age.
She doesn't look 32.
It's like we'd all be lucky to look like her in our 50s.
Kim doesn't look her age.
I think actually a more a closer comparison would be Kim and Courtney.
Yeah.
But Courtney was doing a lot of that stuff up until the last three years.
Yeah.
But now Courtney has decided like she lives very well.
She's embracing.
She's not.
She's not toxic.
You know, she hasn't had Botox.
She eats what she wants.
She's still breastfeeding.
So she's not doing anything.
Toxic.
Toxic.
No injectables.
No nothing.
Crazy that she's still breastfeeding.
Like.
And she looks amazing too.
Yeah.
So I think that also speaks to like living well.
Yes.
Armenian genes, perhaps.
Yeah.
Are Armenian genes known to be great for.
The only example I have is a Kardashian.
Great for eternal youth.
I guess we'll have to go to Armenia to find out and see how the women are looking over
there.
Yeah.
I saw Armenian women.
It's great for Armenia as well.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, I think Kim has always been great for.
It's true.
It's true.
Huge ally.
Yeah, for sure.
They should make her president.
One thousand percent.
So happy birthday, Kim.
And like, keep on inspiring.
New look.
She's wearing like a headpiece.
Like, sure.
Whatever.
I'm so glad we're just like doing something different.
Me too.
Me too.
And like, let's keep trying different things and we'll find what's right.
Like, yeah, I don't know that like the conservative woman was right for her.
Right.
Right.
With the Bob.
I don't know what I would call this look.
I would call it being like culturally.
I would call it like the culturally insensitive look.
Sure.
Like, seriously, just try.
The culturally ambiguous.
Yeah, because what culture is she even mocking?
I'm not sure.
Imitating.
Appreciating.
Appropriating.
Let's step into Dear Toaster as our weekly advice segment that now apparently airs on
Thursdays.
Every Thursday, Jackie and I take three submissions from our community.
We try to help you guys out when you find yourself in a little bit of a pickle.
You can email us if you have a problem.
Dear Toaster.
at gmail.com or our website, thetoastpodcast.com.
That will give you access to our inbox and we'll choose three.
And if you've written in recently and you have an update for us, we would love to hear
from you as well.
Hi, guys.
My husband and I recently went to a Tim McGraw concert.
We took some cute photos with pictures.
Later that night, I got a notification from ChatGBT saying, your photo is ready.
Confused, I clicked on it and discovered that my husband had uploaded our picture and asked
ChatGBT to edit the photo to, quote, make my wife's arms smaller and belly thinner.
For context, I'm 28.
I'm 16.
I'm six months postpartum with our third baby and I'm only five pounds away from my
pre-pregnancy weight gain.
I'm a size four.
When I confronted him, he said he was just trying to make the picture something I would
like because I've been vocal about being insecure about my postpartum stomach and he mentioned
and I had even mentioned about my arm looking bigger in that picture.
But to me, instead of reassuring me that I looked beautiful, he basically confirmed my
insecurities.
I literally told him, how am I supposed to feel confident in my body if you're changing
it to something that I'm not?
He swears he was not editing me because he thought I needed to look thinner, but because
he thought it would make me happy.
So am I being wrong?
Am I being overly sensitive or would you be personally victimized by your husband giving
you an unsolicited AI tummy tuck?
Was this a well-intentioned husband completely missing the mark or do I have every right
to be upset?
Okay, you have every right to be upset and like seriously, the worst things crossed my
mind when I heard what happened.
But there is a world in which you just have the world's dumbest husband.
Yeah, I think it could be a well-intentioned husband completely missing the mark and you
have every right to be upset.
Yes, like I think that he took the picture.
He like you guys want like everyone wants like couple pictures, especially if you like
want to post a picture, whatever.
I think he probably really liked the picture.
Maybe you don't get pictures.
and he knew that you did, you've mentioned it,
about your arms he knew that you wouldn't like the picture and so he wanted to make a picture
that you would like and think you would be excited to post i think he thought he was doing something
nice i could see like a dumb husband thinking that's a good idea yeah i could see a dumb husband
doing that so i think he's just a dumb husband not like i want a hotter sexier wife yeah and
also like i just want to kill myself when i hear that you're 28 six months postpartum from a third
baby only five pounds away from your pre-pregnancy waking and a size four like what what tummy what
yeah like you like not that it's about you like i don't but you really need to be like
kinder to yourself yeah and what you've just described is a feat is perfection what you've
just described like a man could fucking never ever no no i could never it actually like defies
physics yeah like you're like you having insecurities defies logic and like maybe
not to like put it on her but like it sounds like if that's the truth if that you're five
pounds away from your starting baby waiting to have three kids like you're there you look amazing
correct
what is five pounds five pounds is lunch and you're like the fact that you're even mentioning
those five pounds or that you mentioned to your husband by your arm or your belly like
you might be talking about it more than you think because these are that's not real no this is not
a thing so i feel like maybe he's really just responding to like how much you're your psychosis
like focusing on it because like i'm sorry if i hit five pounds i'm there you're there you're
never gonna hear me talk about it wake up five pounds heavier from one day to the next just like
having one good day i could just do a juice cleanse one day and i'm at the weight yeah i'm gonna give
your husband the benefit of the doubt here and just assume like he was really um just trying to
make you happy um why do you guys share a chat gbt account that just seems inconvenient because
your chat operates best when they know you and does your chat know that they're talking to two
separate people i don't know and like chat gbt is deeply private not for me i agree not for me
like i'm just like asking it to style my shelves and like i'm asking like what is this rash on
but people do like i think chat knows a lot about people use it as like therapy and so no not even just
therapy but like work stuff how do i write this email they wind up seeing they see a lot of stuff
i think it is very private like let me look at my recent problems like if there's anything
i'm scared of my recent problems let's say i don't think there's anything but i'm sure there is
muffin feeding success me and chad are making recipes for ruby
that's so um beautiful say so you think you can dance dancing with the stars pros
oh yeah mine is
like oscar song's predictions window treatments preparing meatballs ahead right yeah nothing
deeply personal but i think for other people it can be i think that you can either choose to harp
on this or just move on with your life i would move on i would assume your husband's like really
like in a dumb way trying to do something nice balancing lemon juice and stop talking about your
weight because yeah and you did it you're done yeah you're done congrats let's have a donut
that's really exciting
but i could understand that was devastating oh my god of course to open up make my wife's arm
but you're skinny so like you're skinny and men don't see five pounds that's the thing especially
like if that's your husband you've had three babies together he loves you like he actually
thinks you look amazing he just wants to post a picture with you and he knows that if your arm
looks better you'll post it it is in its own way he just like loves you so much i don't think he
wants a skinnier wife with a smaller arm dear swirly golden globe nominees please help me i'm
a wonderful man who i love so much but he's loved my life but he comes from like a fart shame household
and i come from a
fart pride household are positive for positive i've been with him for two and a half years we're
getting married in two months i've never audibly farted in front of him i let one slide once and
i blame the dog my family's adamant that it's not true love if i can't fart in front of him and i
cannot physically bring myself to do so now it feels like we're in too deep i think we should
have waited to have kids to open the fart gates do you think i should fart or should i just convert
to a far chain way of living um i'm fine with being fart negative yeah i know i don't think
it's something you need to be like loud and proud about i think like naturally this will solve itself
when you have kids when you're
pregnant when you give birth like when you're postpartum like all those things sort of wash
away because i you know i made myself sick once because i can take yourself to the hospital when
i was early dating zach because i would not go to the bathroom at his place and i was at his place
24 7 and i got such bad stomach pains i had to go to the hospital so like don't do that don't do that
and so you can continue to operate as you have and you don't have to think about it too hard
because these problems will solve themselves yeah i think um sometimes it's nice to keep a little
mystery now at some point in your life like when you're having kids and giving birth like
there's no mystery to be had so in the meantime while you're not even married yet just engaging
and it's not like a problem it's not causing you stomach issues it's not like you're like
it's suffering i think it's fine and i think it's not everybody has to like be like that
and i'm because you grew up a certain way doesn't mean you have to be a certain way
like that in your in your adult life yeah but i'm still like the way that i am yes yes and we grew
up like i'm not like struggling i would say we grew up fart positive just like as all girls like
we all shared a bathroom like we weren't
i think it's very individualistic it's not even about your family but yeah you ended up not like
that at all yeah being you exactly so i think how do you feel don't listen about your family
don't worry about what your family thinks don't worry about your family about farting like
yeah don't and don't worry about it's really just how you feel like if you don't want to be the sort
of person that like is a public farter like you don't have to be that way our third and final
some people like physically have different bowel capabilities you know in terms of what they're
able to keep control yeah
it's so some of us are stronger and some of us are not our third and final two toasters might
ruffle the feathers of a certain um field nurses no no i would i would never start with nurses or
teachers and you guys know a couple of weeks ago i said something about therapists and people were
not upset we're not happy with me and i just feel like half of you weren't listening but no today
we're attacking the life coaches hi swirlies i'm a daily listener here thanks for being my
three years wants to start seeing a life coach which i'm totally supportive of but the context
is that i'm in my late 20s he's in his mid-30s we're planning on getting engaged next year
we're trying to be fiscally responsible and safe for our future so imagine my shock when i found
out that this life coach wants a thousand dollars per one hour sessions for 12 sessions paid
entirely up front so yeah twelve thousand dollars off the bat anyway i've tried suggesting that he
get other quotes look into different options but he's just not listening and honestly i'm totally
freaking out twelve thousand dollars could really go towards a new car paying off my student loan
saving for a new house and i'm not sure if that's the right way to go but i'm not sure if that's the
way to go i'm all for him investing in his mental health but is this a normal price or is he getting
scammed okay i'm i feel so conflicted about so many things that's way too much to spend on the
other hand you don't want a cheap life coach right oh i'm sorry that's big of you i don't think you
want a life coach well here's what i feel i think a life coach is a great idea i think there are
people that would benefit immensely from like a great life coach someone to coach them through
life yeah like sometimes you need to call in the life coach right oh i'm so surprised to hear you
think there are a lot of a lot of quality life coaches out there i think nine times out of ten
the life coach that you're finding is a financial scam yeah i've never heard of someone having a
great experience i've actually never heard of someone going to a life coach but i i like the
idea of it because i do think like sometimes you could get to a place where you need a life coach
it's not just like therapy it's like i need a infusion i hear you and redirection i need someone
to coach me in my life like i think it's a good idea i've never heard of it executed in practice
i think it's a scam
and i think a lot of times when i hear someone's a life coach i'm like but your life sucks
who the fuck qualifies you to be a life coach and if you are a very qualified life coach like say
like a mel robbins well yeah i can't get an appointment with you yeah of course of course
so i too worry that your husband and having to pay up front like life coach is so personal right like
i would do one session and know if it's right for me or not so it's like the fact that this person
is requiring your husband fiance boyfriend whatever to pay your husband is currently the
victim of a grift you should also
he should insist on having like one session to see how it is at least maybe even if you're if
it's your money too that like you go and meet this person too now that a thousand dollars a session
that's an insane that's more than any therapy beyond more like the best therapist in the world
is like max what like five hundred dollars an hour that's insane that's it i'm sorry this is grift
period i wouldn't even recommend he go to one session like we have to find i'm sorry i'm very
skeptical of life coaches period so like i wouldn't even want to indulge this if ben said i
want to see a life coach i could seriously say no
like i'm sorry let's go to therapy let's do something else let's go for a walk like literally
your therapy over life coach of course of course at least a therapist like had to go to school and
learn things about how to help the human brain but what did a life coach do to get here maybe
they went to the school of hard knocks maybe or maybe went to the school of scam.org and i'm not
no it's it's ripe for scamming but i'm just saying as an idea i think it's like a good i i just like
i wish we could get great life coaches out there yes conceptually the person who came up like the
thing was malintended conceptually yeah there is a difference between needing a therapist and just
needing somebody to help you get your life in order kind of like an ai assistant almost
um like a motivator you know i hear you i hear someone talk sense into you but but with human
nature like i don't i i can't i'm sure that there are life coaches listening to this who are really
good intentions but like i don't know i'm i'm skeptical to say the least i'm very skeptical
but i understand the desire so when it comes to what to do with your boyfriend i'm like a hard
here like i don't mess around with twelve thousand dollars not for that price not for that price you
should tell him like why would a life just use logic like why would one session with a life coach
be more than one session with the world's leading therapist i mean like do they take you out and
stuff like is it more than just the hour like do they take you shopping for new clothes is it like
queer eye it's not like uh they're gonna come and teach you how to cook what's the lady with the
gray streak the show that they had when they would like come and take make over your whole life
who what where something like that no it's not that it's on the tv show it's just an hour in the
office i think so nobody should be maybe zoom oh my god if it's just burn your money just give it
to me so i can buy my books just give it to me i'll give it to you
i'll take good care of it that's dear toasters thank you to everybody who wrote in and that is
