You're kidding. Oh, I'm humiliated.
Jen, you're a big intro.
And my big intro and I like insulted you.
And like the whole thing was on.
Throw me under the bus for the sake of a joke on a day that it's not.
And I just feel like there were so many people.
Like just in this moment, like so let down. I'm so sorry.
It's Tuesday.
The good news is that it's Dear Toasters Tuesday.
That's true. OK, well, it might not be that close to Saturday.
We have Dear Toasters. We have our health.
Yeah. Speaking of health, I just want to say I've been thinking a lot about Joe Amabile.
Like I really want to send him like my warmest regards.
It's been four days since we got an update.
He he had the surgery.
He had the surgery. So they took he did one of those pre-novo scans.
And like he.
I think him and his wife got it for free.
She posted a result and he didn't because they found a lesion in his brain size of a blueberry.
So they don't know that it could be cancerous.
So they got it out four days ago.
I'm sure they're like testing it and stuff like I really just want to say I'm wishing him well.
He said they got it all. Yeah.
So that's great. And then I guess we'll find out what it was so scary.
I just want to say, like, I'm really thinking of him.
Yeah. But it's Tuesday.
So we do have Dear Toasters and.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah. Staving off the DTQ.
Staving off the DTQ.
Today.
We have an update.
We have an update.
We have an update from a recent submission that did shake our community quite a bit.
And the update is insane.
The update is crazier than the submission.
And we have some hilarious entries.
It's going to be a great episode.
Yeah.
I did want to tell everyone that we went to lunch yesterday and we didn't even get to recap our lunch because I drove with you.
And then I drove home with Ben.
And didn't you feel like I'm trying to think of like a comparison.
We were at St. Ambrose for lunch and we might as well have been like Studio 54.
Like, don't you feel like it was the place?
It was the place to be.
There were so many celebrities and I was just.
Complaining that I didn't see a lot of celebrities.
Walk in.
Who do I see?
Jill Martin of the Today Show.
Then we go to get seated.
Who am I sitting next to?
Again.
Lauren Bostick.
Lauren Bostick.
Of the Bosticks.
As we're leaving, who do we run into?
But Ben Soffer's mentor, Alex Guarnaschelli.
But also, we were there as celebrities.
So that's two more.
Then when we ran into Lauren and we were like having lunch at different tables.
But we might as well have gotten together.
We were being in a way.
Because everybody in the whole restaurant heard our conversation because we were like talking between tables.
Funnily enough, Ben was out to lunch with Michael Bostick.
Down the road.
So they came to meet us.
So Ben drove Michael over.
So then Ben and Michael were there.
Add to the list of celebrities.
It was like Chateau Marmont.
It was.
It was insane.
And it was like a four hour lunch because people just kept coming.
And then we left.
We saw Alex Guarnaschelli, which was just like.
I actually have never met Alex Guarnaschelli.
It was kind of like the other woman.
You know my husband has been like carrying on with this woman.
And he like idolizes her.
I do think like I would say that she is a mentor of his.
And she's taken like a special interest in Ben and his career.
And she was like even yesterday.
Like she was having lunch with her daughter.
We were just saying hi.
She was like offering Ben all this advice.
Ben has like a big project coming up.
She was such a delight.
Like she loves Ben.
And she was so sweet.
And she was like so nice to me.
Like I love her.
It was just like such like kind of celebrity row.
Yeah.
It was.
And like Dear Media row.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah.
The Dear Media family got together.
A thousand percent.
Our bosses.
Yeah.
Our bosses.
The boss sticks.
It was just like.
I'm trying to think.
Like you know what I mean.
Like Studio 54.
Yes.
It was like.
The who's who.
And I was just complaining that we haven't seen enough celebrities.
Well I hope you got some of your fix.
I did.
I did.
I need to go to St. Ambrose like one or two more times.
Every time I go it's like the place to be.
Yeah.
So good.
We had the best pasta we've ever had.
We chowed down.
Which we always do.
But we ordered a new pasta.
Their take on a penne alla vodka.
We took a recommendation from the wiener.
We did.
That's such a sophisticated things to do.
Because I was like can we have a penne alla vodka.
And he was like we don't have that slob.
But we do have this.
I just want to say they have it in the city.
So like.
But we do have this one.
Penne alla giorn.
Or whatever.
It was the best pasta we ever had.
And I got my necklace.
You know we were going through childhood pictures recently.
And I remembered.
And I knew this like subconsciously.
Growing up we all had these nameplate necklaces.
They're like very similar to the one Carrie wore in Sex and the City.
Jackie wears hers all the time.
And we all had them growing up.
I think Olivia still has hers.
I know Margo.
I was like where did I put my necklace after lunch yesterday.
Mine like just over the years of course went missing.
And when we recently went through all the photos I saw I literally wore it every day.
And I miss it.
And I'm always.
I'm so jealous that you have yours.
So our friend Margo who we were having lunch with is a jeweler.
I gave her Jackie's.
And I said like replicate it for me and Claudia.
And let me tell you.
I'm like back to myself.
I feel like yourself again.
I feel like myself again.
I love.
And I posted it on my Instagram.
And I guess I didn't realize at the time.
But this was like a very trendy necklace.
Like all the young girls of the early 2000s had necklaces like this.
And they were like oh my God.
Like I think I'm like inspiring a generation.
Oh cool.
Yeah.
So I'm inspiring a generation by having kept mine all these years.
Sure.
I mean if you if you want to give yourself credit in like a backwards kind of way.
I guess you kind of I'm not going to stop you.
But I'm definitely inspiring a generation.
Yeah.
You're welcome for having kept it so that you could recreate it.
I'm so excited about it.
I keep touching it.
I wonder if our other sisters have theirs.
Olivia said she does.
But like she was giving liar when she said it.
Okay.
Like yeah.
You might at one point in your life have had it.
But I know you don't know where it is.
Or like maybe.
It'll turn up.
Maybe it is in your house somewhere.
But you don't know where it is.
Correct.
That's what I was getting.
Margo definitely doesn't have it.
And what's funny is I actually remember losing mine.
I lost mine.
In mid-childhood.
You know what's actually crazy?
We were saying we were having lunch with our friend Margo Lewin Fyfe.
She's Margo Fyfe now.
And when we were with our friends the Bostics.
And they were like oh how do you guys know each other?
And I was like oh Margo's my oldest friend.
We went to sleepaway camp together.
We met when we first went to camp in the year 2000.
So we are best friends for 26 years now.
And I do remember we got those necklaces like when we came home from camp.
And I think it was the first summer.
And then we but we all got them.
And that would mean like the necklaces as old.
As my friendship with Margo.
So it's a 26 year old tradition.
Yeah.
And we were having lunch to celebrate like the 26th anniversary.
The tradition of it all.
Yeah.
That's beautiful.
Yeah.
The necklaces are like I think part of our summer story.
Our summer and our friendship story as well.
That's beautiful.
I'm so glad I asked her to take on this special project.
Yes for sure.
And she slayed.
She slayed.
What else?
We didn't have dinner together last night.
Like you were out and about.
No we didn't.
We went to Olivia's for dinner.
We ordered some pizza.
Oh that's funny.
I stayed home and ordered Chinese.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Like pizza and Chinese.
Hysterical.
I played a good amount of Mahj with Ben yesterday.
Oh my God.
Once again I'm showering.
I come down.
I'm like where is everyone?
Them two dead silent playing Siamese Mahjong in the living room.
We only will play Siamese now.
Like we don't have.
Do you think it's going to affect.
Like once we get back to regular life.
Like it's going to affect your.
Yeah.
Yes.
However like I do miss my friends.
And like I am craving like a social Mahj as well.
One of my besties gets to town tomorrow.
Like for the remainder of the summer.
She's been gone all year.
And she's like a Mahj dictator.
Like she has to play multiple times.
So we will be getting back to four person.
So I'll get together with her.
Yeah.
So and I think that Siamese Mahj is making me a stronger Mahj player in the sense that
I'm playing two hands at a time.
I'm winning with hands I've never won before.
So like I'm getting to know the card even better.
However I think it's making me really bad at the Charleston.
Yeah.
Because you don't Charleston and you don't have to like zero in so quickly.
And hone that skill.
And so I sort of like mess around.
And I play great.
And I'm slaying Siamese.
But I think I'm suffering in my Charlestonian skills.
I saw you started Let's Marry Harry.
How was it?
I did.
You know what?
I wasn't in the frame of mind to watch it.
I just wanted to scroll on my phone.
I think I watched the first six minutes.
And then I was like you know what?
Harry deserves better.
I'm turning this off and I'll watch it when I can pay attention.
I don't feel pulled to watch it.
And then I saw the girl who won.
She's like on TikTok talking about my fiance, my fiance, my fiance.
Are they?
Don't spoil it.
But yes.
Also this show is kind of funny because it's like
Let's Marry Harry.
And so it's like everyone there, he's getting married in a month.
A month from today or a month from the show?
A month from the show.
So is he already married?
I don't know if there's a wedding at the end of the show.
But like when the girls come to like meet in the first episode,
they all get engagement rings.
They are all engaged.
Oh, so maybe that's why she's saying her fiance.
Her fiance.
All 20 of them.
He has 20 fiances.
So maybe she's not the winner.
Maybe she's just a savvy social media user.
Ring Concierge like made 20 engagement rings.
Is it a Ring Concierge collab?
I think so.
Ring Concierge is a new thing.
It's a new Neil Lane.
I saw Ring Concierge made a reel that was like
when Netflix makes a documentary about making 20 engagement rings
for the reality show.
Wait, I'm seriously cracking up.
Ring Concierge is the Neil Lane of our time.
It is.
I love that.
The rings were really cute too.
And actually I've been thinking about my own ring.
I've been thinking about my own ring a lot
because I haven't been wearing it.
Trouble at home.
Yeah, trouble at home.
I'm fine.
Yeah, right.
Same.
That's the trouble.
It's causing me a lot of trouble.
And I just like when I got so skinny,
I resized all of my jewelry.
Am I okay?
I've never resized my engagement ring.
And like soon I'll,
I could probably wear it now,
but I don't have it with me.
But it would probably fit.
But I think I want to resize it
just so it fits me like at all stages
because it's very, very small.
And so I'm like more comfortable wearing it.
And then I was like thinking like,
oh, what if I like tinkered with it a little bit?
I went through the process of tinkering.
I think I'm ready for a tinker.
Like I got engaged in 2018.
It's 2026.
Times have changed.
That's eight years.
And I don't know.
And so I was asking chat to like fuck around.
Yeah.
And they literally couldn't do what I asked for.
So I actually went through the process
of like changing my ring with ring concierge.
Like I think maybe a year ago.
and I didn't end up pulling the trigger only because like I don't know even though like my
ring that I have now is not what I would choose but like it's my ring you know I like felt like
guilty about it so I didn't do it I'm so dumb I know I should have just done it like and then
my ring would fit me right now and also like we never got like proper wedding bags so I think I
might like do a a rehaul when I get home a wedding band is like a really I have a party well so we
got wedding bands that got me a wedding then I got like four one was like diamond the next one
was pink diamonds the next one was purple and then and then my ring sat on top so it was like
a stack and it was so cute but it was like I don't know I had to return them it was like on loan to
see if I liked it at home it was on loan to see if I liked it and then I did and then like I don't
know why I never actually got them okay well now you know I know that I like and like well that
sounds cool like I'm not into pink and purple like just get a ring no no I have big plans yeah I'm
sure you do you and chat no chat's not helping me but anyways I'm thinking of like you know just
doing like a ring update yes I was just thinking about it I was just thinking about it I was just
having that conversation with a friend of mine like we're very much in the season of like investing
in jewels because I can't really be investing in like clothes or like you know pieces like that
right now how many handbags can you have so my friend Rachel was like no I'm like not buying
clothes this decade like it's just not it's not worth the time and she's also like works in
jewelry I'm like yeah but I'm like I'm actually buying a lot of jewelry right now because it's
like kind of the one thing I can treat myself with except rings except rings yeah yeah so I don't
know it's just I've been thinking a lot about rings recently plus like a choir and everyone's
like wearing my rings I'm like I miss my ring I'm assuming that's just a story so we don't have to
dive in right now but we did get the acquired photos story lead story Brielle Bierman like is
defending herself she sent me like a super long voice memo obviously she didn't listen to
yesterday's episode because I don't listen to voice but she did listen to oh no she saw the
clip she saw the clip I didn't listen to her voice memo but I did read the trend and she sent me like
a screenshot of the screen recording of her phone like proving she seems to have proof on her side
like basically like the reel was created whatever she's and she's defending herself um one of the
things about me like I will personally stand the Bierman family Zolciak Bierman excuse me um I made
it through the express mile Atlanta years like this is not going to waver for me um although I
did stand with acquired in that moment yeah we'll get into the deets the dirty deets and I just oh
you know what I'm actually going to start I've been seeing clips and it looks hysterical I don't
know if it's out yet but is the Real Housewives ultimate girls trip with the 20th year anniversary
did you see the clip of Lou she was like I'm Lou from Connecticut kind of like J-Lo from the hood
and the producer's like the block she was like yeah the block I know it was giving like real OG
and did you see that they did this huge spread of vanity fair about Luann I saw all in promotion of
this like new show um where she's like it was a really kind of iconic photo shoot of her just like
boozing around New York uh I think a lot of us are forgetting about her like AA era that that era is
over I don't believe she is sober sober Lou um but the photos were really iconic and she's like
talking shit about the New Housewives yeah she said like they did more in a week than they do in a
I'm not like loving the boozing around New York like no of course but like because like if you
weren't there like during the dark times of Roni where Lou was like actually I mean she got arrested
Jackie the piano prodigy at the party in the Hamptons do you remember they were at a party
at someone like it might have been like Chris Birch like a billionaire's house and um they
had this like world-class child prodigy come to play piano for all the guests Luann was like
wasted like went on stage while he was performing oh my god yeah
you know it's like funny but it's not yeah well you know we actually have a conversation about
that later in the show so alcoholism yes actually chilling we will be having a conversation about
alcoholism is it an intervention no uh to me no okay but it will be a conversation about alcoholism
so I look forward to that a little sneak peek for what's in store today you never know what we're
gonna cover here we actually have good stories today I'm sorry if I'm like I have like a lot of
things going on we had the biggest breakfast in this chair not five minutes ago I was chugging
orange juice a bagel if I sound like I have indigestion like I am about to throw up like
yeah I ate so much I spilled orange juice all over my white shirt it was so good yeah we did
something new today we're like experimenting with breakfast I love I didn't even realize it because
like I don't a lot of people like are into eggs and every time we get eggs you get like home fries
and I'm not familiar with egg culture because I never order omelets I never order scrambled
sunny side so I'm not really familiar with all the different accoutrements that come with the way
the ways in which and every time I see Ben who gets eggs all the time like with his home fries
I'm like that honestly doesn't look good I would rather have a french fry of course when we talk
about the different ways of course that's what you think potatoes can be prepared but I'm learning
that those little square potatoes that definitely come from like a freezer bag from like a mass
produced food company are some of the best shits I've ever had in my life like I had them this
like it was this is gonna be a crazy thing for me to say it was almost like it was just as good
maybe better than like McDonald's yeah do you know who has the had the best home fries I do
are you gonna say the great dog no do you remember that place I do I was gonna say camp toast that is
true camp toast had the best home fries and if they had like the little peppers in them if you
were there you might not be watching right now definitely if you were there you know a thousand
percent and then we had this like huge vat of them and everybody was like oh my god I'm gonna
camp toast was sick everyone was talking about the corn too the food at camp toast was amazing
and please don't leave a comment asking us to do it again it will never happen you genuinely had
to be there um but the food like a lot of people talk about like the toxic environment of camp
toast but like no one's talking about the food there was no toxic environment it was some of
the best weekends of my life personally if you didn't have fun like that's more of a reflection
on you and I can't help you it was truly it was genuine like the most fun friendship laughter
food alcohol like there was nothing bad about it like not one thing the most fun we've ever had

jert serve i think it was what you mean jert serve yeah
our first story acquired styles bridget fee long is married to mitch mchale after nearly
nine years together and the photos have dropped they think about me i was never
gonna have a bad thing to say about this because i am like blindly loyal and so
like i was gonna say this regardless but i really mean it they're sensational like
everything first of all kellyanne on the makeup some people when you wear a lot of makeup
all the time as an influencer you go to a lot of events it's hard to look different and special
stand out and like look like a bride not just like you do full glam great multiple times a week yeah
she looked it is like an exercise in bridal makeup i will be surprised if this doesn't
become like the photo that girls show to their makeup artist the hair and she is like the hair
girl yes and i think there's a lot of pressure on the hair of course the hair was fucking insane
yeah the dress you said it perfectly when we were all like gossiping about it in our family chat
everyone was like it's so gorgeous it's so gorgeous and you were like it's so gorgeous and fun yeah
she's a young girl and her whole thing like a lot of the reason why she went viral is like she puts
on these crazy outfits for like holidays yeah um like this cable knit sweater dress that was a gown
so she's like very camp too and so i thought the dress was the perfect combination of course like
classic timeless bride rhode island beach whatever but like fun yeah modern yeah and a lot of people
there are so many different ways to be like a gorgeous stunning bride and one great way is to
like keep it like very simple and timeless and elegant and classic and and i love that i feel
like that's like how what page lorenz did i love that never gonna say anything there's never anything
negative to say about that but to be so gorgeous and also like fun and timely but i don't think
it's trendy i think it would like it will age so well but yeah fun i just really really liked it
it's hard to achieve the two things like timeless beauty and also just like funness um so i thought
she crushed it and yet really is emblematic of her i always feel like a wedding dress
is your personal style one's personal style to a t it's like the one thing it's like regardless of
trends because also everyone has different body types like everyone's dress that finds them like
is meant for them it's like symbolizes who you are i feel like this symbolized who she is it was
stunning like and the pictures of course she's like a full-time content creator so we knew like
the photos and videos coming out we're gonna be but they're just they have a very unique pov like
it's not just classic bridesmaids but they're just like they're just like they're just like
like it's so first of all it's very new england it's very new port it's very bridal it's so
beautiful like that's my fucking queen right there i love her i love this she slayed she did also it's
so fun to think about her husband was like her college sweetheart so their wedding was a college
wedding of two people who went to the same college probably so that's on another level like when i've
been to colgate weddings of people who met at colgate like the all the friends went to colgate
were reliving our college years they their after party was a frat party and like the fact that
everyone in that room like went to college together is so much fun i went to one of it
was sam's wedding which was like a colgate wedding and i was like literally feeling left out because
i was like i didn't go to colgate and it was so fun yeah yeah um it was just the whole thing like
tens tens tens across the board no notes she's a beautiful bride a lot of pressure like i feel
like required and for page it's like the bar is so high i know everybody's sitting waiting to see
and so if you miss it's so high it's it's easy to not reach it because expectations are so high and i feel
like both of them really really crushed expectations and i'm sure they felt a lot of
pressure of course so a job well done i also think there's a lot of pressure from like the guests in
attendance like who are fellow influencers and content creators to slay their looks as well i
would like to shout out to neil carolin who looked gorgina and there was another girl who i didn't
know i think she's an influencer she wore this like insane beaded dress it was like blue and
green she has brown hair oh margo sent it oh did she it was insane i saw it on um reels this morning
just very beautiful like really sickening
i thought lauren wolf looked great all weekend she did i always loved kids looks
i feel like there was one more that i liked let me pull up the photo but yeah
definitely people are like you know there's a lot of pressure it's a lot of measures
it is it is oh and the sister and page sister the sister the sister looked gorgeous i love the black
yeah very like classic stunning stunning yeah they're so cute they're so it must be so crazy
to have an identical twin
agreed they i feel like people talk about twindom a lot and i feel like a lot of times it's like so
negative it was hard growing up but like they make it so they're always crying about how much
they love each other they make it look so they romanticize being
twins like as a mother and someone who has experienced pregnancy like the way I feel about
twins is just different like the idea like growing up you'd be like oh they're twins you don't like
think about what that means right but the idea that they were like nestled together cocooned in
the womb never have spent a moment apart and I think when you're two girls like you keep that
energy up outside of the womb yeah like a boy and a girl twin they will go on to have separate lives
it's just what it is and boys twins are like you know the twin bond is insane yeah is insane and
they're just like super twins yeah it's true they really make it look so lovely yeah I feel like
that's how people feel about us being sisters but I feel like yeah and that's like on crack
that's on crack yeah and I love it I watched them make a a tin fish salad this they're so cute their
husbands and boyfriends were like out of town so they had dinner together and they made all this
like tinned fish I just feel like they had a tin fish party it's your nightmare
nightmare
they made tuna fish and salmon fish and but listen she looks sick at that wedding so if
we're eating tin fish we're eating tin fish oh yeah we're eating tin fish and we're doing hot
pilates a hundred percent Tracy Anderson I think she does yeah it's gorgeous and then I guess like
Danielle's next obviously obviously she also has like a long-term boyfriend I thought she was
engaged but I guess I thought she was engaged but now it makes sense like let one twin have the
cycle yep and then I expect like she'll be getting engaged any minute now and we get to run it back
run it back that's exciting it is they're so cute I love them
yeah and I love how much they bother people you know why do they bother people so much I mean
it's very clear jealousy they're just like perfect looking little girls with you know the the world
is at their feet they have millions of followers brands want to work with them they're making money
insane they live in these gorgeous apartments and they make it look so effortless and beautiful
yeah of course like a miserable person would hate them um and I love that I just love them
so mazel tov so then there was a bit of drama because some photos leaked from the wedding
yesterday like the one that I showed you when we were sitting here was a leak was a leak and then
a girl posted um a couple like photos that she had gotten like from her sorority group chat and
so like the acquirers were like to send it upon her they sent her messages really nice just being
like hi I really wanted to be the first person to post like do you mind deleting like very nice to
the person who leaked your wedding photos yeah and then the person who had posted I guess it's
like a big fan and she like wasn't trying to be the worst I'm sorry like are you're weird for that
so she was like like if I could get some fifi merch she like blackmailed extorted the photos
and you know what daniella and her sister should have just left it because the photos were out
already it does make you look really famous and now you're negotiating with the terrorists like
well then they also said we'll give you unreleased stuff if you tell us who sent it to you
love that and then they said they got it from their sorority group chat but still like there's
a name associated with whoever sent it but then it turns out I love that it was
one of their friends like accidentally like I think leaked it it was her photos like clearly
this friend clea and it's clea she took the photos but she like she didn't leak the photos so maybe
I don't know how someone got her photos but like someone in in clea's life oh yeah unacceptable and
the girl who's like a big fan posting that and blackmailing them for photos like you're weird
for that you're not a fan you're a freak yeah but they're like too gracious to say that so of course
oh I will um and brielle bierman like did post a series of photos and she was like oh my god I'm
like you know vindicating herself with like receipts proof timeline and added acquired and
was like I had no idea like wishing you well so like I think she's trying to just like do you
believe her the thing is is like when I saw the video like no I would never believe her like it's
so obvious what you're doing but she did like provide proof and like it's low-key irrefutable
the leak came on saturday I mean acquired got married on saturday brielle has proof that she
posted on sunday the proof she there was proof that it was scheduling yeah that it was like in
her camera roll on friday but proof that it was scheduled I didn't watch her whole thing but I
don't think you could show proof that it was scheduled really and again like why are people
scheduling stuff it's so true because yeah I just want to know what sort of proof we have and then
I'll adjudicate on the matter
I think it was just proof
that like she made all this content before she knew about acquired okay so what she posted was
okay that's her addressing this once and for all as you'll see I made this video on friday so
she does have the pic the video in her camera and she swiped up to like the data and it says
friday august 7th 4 19 pm I made this video on friday we had it scheduled to be posted on sunday
for engagement purposes I've never met at acquired style and did not know she was getting married
this weekend let alone see a leaked photo of her she clearly has great taste that she went with
her dress my wedding is approaching
so my content strategist wanted me to start posting bridal content leading up to my date
I have another video of an additional dress I almost said yes to that is pre-scheduled to post
tomorrow to acquired style I genuinely hope you had a fabulous wedding day and enjoyed
your dress so yeah I guess I mean that is like that's good proof it is good proof so
I guess and I believe people so I'm gonna believe her but like unfortunately the circumstances are
bad unfortunate it is that she will people will always think that she did that on purpose yeah I
kind of love that she bought the dress off the rack I think a lot of people myself included thought
she'd be like working with a designer it's always cool to work with a designer get something custom
but like again to go into a store and like pick something that anybody could buy and you are the
one who like sees the vision for it not a lot not any girl could just buy this dress I want to say
like it's very special of course but I could never I feel like it also speaks to her personal style
that like she didn't have someone like make it for her true she like knew what she I don't know I
mean custom dresses which is also cool yeah which is obvious obvious but like yeah like if you have
to shop like the rest of us can you still come up with something insane it's easy to have a sick
dress but the entire atelier is working on a new dress for you that nobody else has right but to
like stand out as in a sea of brides it's such a good point yeah and I'm sure it was expensive but
for the most part like everybody has opportunity to buy a dress so like I don't know it just makes
her quite relatable it's true I think acquired is very relatable it's true and the private jet
I think getting
a free private jet and being excited about it is extremely relatable obviously yeah um and
that's it also good job on the turnaround time good job on the turnaround time wedding was
Saturday we got photos on Monday we got photos on Monday we got video we got like a video was
gorgeous it was gorgeous we've got like highlight reels it was so like it was so New England it was
so summery it was beautiful yeah so good job to the content team that's what we needed that's what
the level I expect agreed
mazel tov to the acquired
are you ready for our next story something that like has the internet in the tizzy Brooks Nader
is going topless in front of her entire family including her dad on an Italian getaway
so photos dropped this morning of Brooks Nader on a yacht in Sardinia and she is topless with
her little bikini shorts on and she's with her family Sarah Jane Nader her mother and her father
she's like jumping off the boat and just living her Euro summer
topless with her father yeah and so the photos like I just want to say I think that this is weird
like but the photos make it look worse than it is because it's just like a photo of Brooks and her
dad and he's like handing her something and she her tits are out it's not just them two on the
boat the photo makes it look worse but she is like on vacation with her parents and sun tanning
without a shirt on and it's weird like and I know that sun tanning without a shirt on like is
European and like we could chalk this up but these are bitches are from Louisiana like this
is weird I love Brooks with my whole heart I will always defend her but like she's weird for this
like
she's weird for this and I get like I don't know like it's just I'm sorry it's weird
well I also think it's weird that someone took photos of her and have published them on the
internet facts I think that's really weird like and because also it's like if you think about it
this way like she's on vacation with her family they're in Italy where people go topless like
and so she's just like like getting a still image of like her and her dad smiling while she's topless
is weird yeah but I can imagine like the vibes on the boat like oh she took her shirt off that's
what everybody thinks about her and she's like oh she's like oh she's like oh she's like oh she's
does and like her dad's not like look like I don't know I don't know always naked no I'm sorry like
I think that as a dad of four girls who are like very um beautiful models definitely comfortable
in their own skin he definitely like puts up with a lot and like sees lots like their bar for normal
is definitely different than other families however this crosses the line I'm sorry it does
but I just think it's insane that a photographer took this photo the nipples are blurred out but
like when the photographer took the photo like he's looking at
bear titties he's selling bear titties like I don't understand how you can do that like how
is that legal she's like on her own dwelling it's a boat but like yeah like if I was in my backyard
naked and a paparazzi I guess they like could take a picture I think that's so wrong yeah I
agree ethically feels wrong like you're standing there taking pictures of someone nude yeah not
consenting to it the ethics around it are also definitely curious like if I'm her I will feel
so violated I think she's probably living for this like really she probably thinks she's living for this
it's hysterical I think that it's great attention for her and her family which ultimately benefits
the show which I feel like she's really passionate about like all of her projects this is like her
favorite one um she like loves to put her family on blast and I I think she probably is not unhappy
about this she's also just very comfortable in her body yes she is I mean I would be too if I
looked like that so I think she's probably like cracking up I wonder she's also on this trip like
just with Sarah Jane and and not the others yeah wonder what that means
I don't know they're oh they've been like on trips all summer oh my god I don't want to
brag I hate to bring it up because I don't want to get kicked off but you know I'm on her close
friend's story it's such an amazing place a lot of the times it's just content like the
she posts in like a few days like she's but a lot like it's really like her life is insane yeah
it's a wonderful place to be i'm grateful to be there brooks please don't kick me off even though
i think it was weird that you had your titties out in front of your dad i love you still
i think that's fair just like maybe it's a cultural you know she's from the south maybe
they do things differently but also i think she's been in europe too long yeah i think she spent
it's time to go home she's doing as the romans she is i can understand she's from louisiana
it's time to go home yeah i love that even though i think she just got there because they just
wrapped baywatch i saw her and shane mitchell like posting a bunch of stuff she was flying
back and forth and now she's back she was flying back and forth but she's been yachting all summer
and it's time to go home you're spending too much time in europe if you think it's okay to be
topless around your dad i agree i think that's like just when you think you might take your shirt
off in front of your dad that's when you should go home from your summer you never know when to
end a great trip right it's so hard to know it is so hard but all good things must come to an end
and i think and when you're thinking of you know dropping trow in front of dear old dad perhaps
that's a sign
are you ready for our next story i am the conversation about alcoholism oh brad pitt
reveals that he's no longer sober after a seven-year stretch and says he drinks in a more
restrained manner now it's giving luann it is so speaking with esquire for a profile published on
monday the 62 year old actor who previously revealed he joined a 12-step program following
his split from his ex-wife angelina jolie shared that he decided to end his sobriety from alcohol
after seven years after he offered the writer wine the interviewer asked if the drink is available
only for guests prompting brad to reveal that he partakes in alcohol now in moderation he said no
i got i was sober for seven years and then i got back off the wagon he said with a laugh now he
says he drinks in a more restrained manner quote i got overconfident a couple times went yep nope
not good for me not in big quantities he said yeah you can enjoy a glass of wine i can have a few but
i can't have a lot i have to be professional about it just as a
reminder he gave up drinking in 2016 after splitting from angelina jolie she filed for
divorce days after they allegedly got into a dispute while flying from france to la in the
couple's private plane uh yeah plane gate plane gate was low yeah it was rock bottom right so i
guess like he was really drunk on the plane with all their kids and whatever happened on that plane
has caused all of the children to estrange themselves from him and change their last name
and put out ads in the paper put him in the program to change their last name and they want
nothing to do with it
him due to whatever happened on that plane due to alcohol well i'm sure there was like circumstances
leading up but the plane was the plane was the final was the big yeah um i feel that and i of
course have never been in the program so i don't know this to be true but i do feel like thinking
that you like misdiagnosed yourself as an alcoholic like is part of the journey do you know what i
mean like it's the 13th step yeah because i think a lot of people like go through the program they're
like okay but i just even they're good and they go through it earnestly i feel like they think
actually like i'm not one of these people like this genuinely doesn't apply to me i feel like
i got here by accident and then they kind of restart the journey and they end up like realizing
so i feel like that's maybe what's going on here you think it's just like this isn't the end of
this it's not like oh yeah no he can have a couple glasses of wine and and he he didn't need to be
completely let me tell you something you don't get to aa by accident the first time i've never been
like you're there for a reason years of sobriety correct yeah and you cavying on it keep caveating
and being like well i just need to control myself it's like well yeah that's the whole point of
alcoholism it's like that you can't right
you have alcoholism and i just feel like he shouldn't be doing interviews he's like
gotten away like i do think that like he's done some bad stuff like in his family but people in
hollywood in the public like just don't it's kind of like an inconvenient truth for them
people just really like him and he gets got some great roles and he's lots of adoring fans i think
it's more so that people in hollywood like know him and know angelina and maybe know more about
the situation than we know and they all know the information and they've taken his side but
it's not like they're allegations
against him they like don't really stick to him people and i'm talking about the public too people
just like love him aside from the plane yeah i mean they say that like he was physically abusive
are there serious allegations against him outside of the plane yes like in their in their marriage
together like with the kids and with angelina okay um and people and you know people like the
public consumers of pop culture like take allegations seriously all the time for some
reason like nothing sticks to him but when he sits down for an interview when he's talking
about things like this like it does bring all of it back up he doesn't need to be doing interviews
like what is he promoting
what is he promoting right is he in the odyssey he's not he's like the only one he's not no i just
feel like he should take the w like he kind of got away with it and just like go chill and like
he does his fun things in as deramone they're always like in venice it's great don't like
remind us because then we have to like go back into the files and like think about what would
happen on the plane like you know what is he promoting like doing needless press when you
loki definitely have skeletons well he's on the cover of the movie like he's on the cover of the
esquire on an issue called mavericks of hollywood they didn't include me no they didn't and that's
speaking of is this story about anna hathaway's bump yes okay um well mavericks of hollywood i
don't know how they could possibly do a spread but they did include jenna ortega and aaron sorkin
riz ahmed and sam rockwell as the mavericks but not you okay good luck with that like like every
you know what i think when everyone's a maverick no one's a maverick no one's a maverick no one's a
maverick that's chillingly beautiful it's true and actually the only mavericks i know are you and i
absolutely factual and the one on page 82 of your of your one more of course the best page
in in the whole book you think right like my page 82 is your page 14
that's page 14 i'm not going in that lake whoa i'm not going in that lake it's too big and scary
we all agreed agreed we were all really wary
i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie
it's sort of like the love interest in yours correct understood maybe my next book will be
like a ya fictional book about like maverick and like man high school yeah and the mavdia stands can
come out i love that i don't know if you talk off campus has been greenlit for a season three
oh great that's logan's year like sorry that's like you know it's like bridgerton there's like
a different couple get with they said her name on twitter and sister grace literally grace i think
her name is i don't know her
okay i'm excited to meet grace yeah so it's next is dean and ally then it's great he has some you
know there's like 12 books in the series so like yeah never end he has some coming up to do because
like he was being a loser okay so people are obsessed with him okay people are obsessed with
him like from the show and i was like you're a loser first of all like when he was going after
gary graham's dad to like obviously work out his own daddy she was like that was deeply inappropriate
um he's pining after a girl who doesn't like him back and he won't even say it um he only hangs out
with gilkey stinks at hockey like that's your man like that's your leading man right there they do
need to put in work in season two such a chip on his shoulder and it's so unattractive like he has
this dark energy yeah and so we're supposed to like find him he's supposed to be our garrett
graham good luck with that they need to put in work in season two speaking of i feel like our
chips have sort of lightened do you feel mine's bigger and better than ever we haven't discussed
our chips we always have a chip on our shoulder um just because we're not appreciating our own
time it's true but like neither was shakespeare and like we'll be fine and
yeah i guess i haven't thought about my chip in a while maybe i'm just like too busy being
happy right so i feel like that's because there's not a chip yeah maybe we're free
from our chip it will always be like a tiny tiny bit of who we are bit of who we are but i don't
know i just don't feel burdened by my chip yeah and like i haven't thought or talked about the
chip in a while which makes me think that it's kind of gone away yeah we should write a book
about it unburdened
are you right okay so brad pitt um you think he's still an alcoholic
i just think he's like probably a dark guy
what dark
what like what
guy and if i were him i just wouldn't be doing interviews okay because he really doesn't need
to he doesn't need the money do you so do you think this is a thing in general like people
who actually like we're like oh no i'm not actually an alcoholic like i can't
have a couple drinks like there's definitely been like three people in the world who
definitely ended up in aa like by accident like completely sober and can now dabble i've just i've
never heard of it yeah personal sign up in the comments is this a thing it's not i think it's
just like a part of the journey to being sober permanently sober again are you ready for our
next story for yeah ann hathaway is responding to internet speculation that she's faking her
pregnancy after viral bum photos so ann hathaway attended the event and she's like oh my god i'm
the premiere for her new film the end of oak street um and the photos are going viral she's
wearing like a crop high low top so you do see i would say like two-thirds one-third of her baby
bump and people were speculating of it being fake now i saw the pictures as i'm so glad i saw them
on my own me too and i of course noticed her bump and i was like wow she's having like a gorgeously
physically perfect pregnancy pregnancy because it's like it's just like i feel like you could
see the baby
she still has those like vagina muscles like yeah no i feel like i'm gonna see if the baby kicks i'm
gonna see it yeah that's how there's no way she's keeping it tight there's not one layer of fat in
between the baby and the belly and so i was just like wow that's an amazing belly that's an amazing
feat i never thought for one second that's a fake bump and so people are thinking it's a fake bump
now here's what i know anybody who's wearing a fake bump is not wearing a crop top it's not
a bump bearing dress like no how stupid are you no you just like keep it to
bodycon no and like we all know there is a celebrity who did famously wear a fake bump
and she wasn't wearing any
you know midriff crop tops so no so then i never thought it was fake i was in awe of i am in awe
of how much she continues to do as a pregnant person she just does not stop attending events
devil wears prada premiere the odyssey this movie and verity trailer comes out today yeah so it's
a girl sit down um so she posted on instagram at the premiere saying fake hair real bump enjoy the
end of block street block party oak street yeah chaos with me as my outfit literally melts the
heart yeah i just feel like anyone accusing her of um faking her bump like it's just a projection
because like maybe your bump didn't look like that mine certainly didn't yeah but it doesn't
mean that hers my bump was so real you know yeah like everybody saw it and was like that's a real
bump yeah that's a belly yeah i feel like this is this is so real you know of course the belly
button you can't fake that shit yeah that's so weird that people would first of all it's weird
that people would say that agreed you can only say that like if you
are a hundred percent certain very jesse smollett like you can only accuse yeah you can only accuse

you the turd you're welcome the jerk our fifth and final story is is for claudia actually i feel
like you're um it's a subject that you're very interested in what i just feel like i'm gonna be
insulted what you what is it what is it like that what is it i just you'll did i clock you what is
it no no you're not changing the story what is it the story what is it come on i'm changing the
story jackie
what is it you know i could find out what it is how i'll go to the email with all the stories
and find out in secret is getting serious with his dutch model girlfriend okay seriously why would i
care about this like i'm low-key annoyed that you chose this that's not the story oh what is it come
on okay i'm just gonna be brave what chrissy metz reveals her gl i'm obsessed with this story
i'm not i knew it she reveals her glp-1 use after 100 pound weight loss so already lost 100 pounds
yeah i guess so chrissy mess revealed that she's taking a glp-1 after having lost 100 pounds last
year she said that she finally came to the decision after years of dieting that wasn't
effective in an interview with people magazine she said i'm not getting any younger i'm in
perimenopause and there were obesity issues with my family and with my father and i felt like i've
tried so many modalities whether it was diets or therapy and none of it really worked for me
the actress who has partnered with rowe i saw didn't share when she started taking weight loss
medication or which specific kind she's on which is completely her business of course she called
her experience with the medication great so far after being skeptical she said it's so nice not
to be obsessing about what i'm going to have every minute even as i'm still consuming the meal i just
vilified food for so long because i was taught that it was bad and you shouldn't eat this or that
she acknowledged that judgy people will have a lot to say about her decision but she isn't giving
them attention it doesn't matter because i always say they're not in my life they're not in my
doctor's notes they're not in the hereditary issues my family has i mean i love this i saw
her on the today show talking about it i was shocked like i had no idea that she had lost
this weight up until this point i had no idea she was like doing this big partnership i feel like
anyone who has anything negative to say about this like it's just absurd if you
if you look at her like it's clearly the way we talk about ariana grande like
it's the opposite like with someone like chrissy metz who has been living so unhealthy um this is
amazing and she said like she's tried her whole life it's not like that's the case most of the
time people everyone's so great about body positivity nobody wants to be fat like it's
they're just a lot of times victims of their circumstance so when this thing comes that
like is magic it literally is magic why on earth would she not do it and i heard her say on the
today show that she was like a hater of these drugs for a while i think a lot of people like
struggled with that because when you self-identify i think also for her like she books a lot of roles
because you know you need actors that look like all different shapes and sizes so i think
you know i think it's a lot of people who are like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
the concern that it might affect her career definitely like is valid i think like your
health is of course and your quality of life but i liked hearing her just being like no i was like
such a hater and i i get why people are haters like when you just identify your whole life as
something it's like to take the drug it's like well almost an admission that like being fat is
not ideal right um i'm happy for her i think this is wonderful um you're never gonna get me to hate
on glp1s like they're amazing i'm so happy for her she must feel so much better like 100 pounds
that's insane yeah i'm jealous like i'm so happy for her i think this is great and i think some
people are like you know stuck on the fact that she's like an ambassador so like if she's like
she telling the truth or like i don't i seriously don't give a fuck you're losing weight and you're
getting paid chrissy metz stays winning congrats congrats congrats yeah i'm cracking up at the like
segue into this story of course i have something to say about it i i knew that you would i'm the
queen of glp was i knew that but then i just felt like i don't know if i would just you'd be like
i don't know i got scared of you classic classic scary you are scary no i'm not i'm a delight
you could be a scary delight okay i just want to say something certain people can be scared of me
obviously ben is afraid of me and he should be you like i'm afraid of you i'm afraid of you
you're like the big scary sister i'm so afraid of you you are so scary i bet if we asked margo
who's she more afraid of she would say you call her right now and i know she's gonna say you
but do you think that me being the one asking her no no no i know because i know you're gonna
like phrase it and like hi we're recording the toast and nobody can see you but we just need
your voice okay because we're trying to settle it settle a debate for us who okay wait hold on
hold on hold on
i'm putting you on mute for a second not who is scary who are you more afraid of okay
who are you more afraid of me or jackie
i think that she's just a bitch she doesn't know what she's talking about you are scary
let's dive into our next segment sound off in the comments no don't you fucking dare bitches
don't you fucking dare i'm literally not like what is scary about me just like respect me and
buy me gifts and feed me
and i'll love you forever i'm cracking up this is literally house of stassi everybody's scared of her
and she's like i'm not scary i'm not i'm with stassi all right let's dive into dear toasters
our weekly advice segment so every tuesday yeah that's today we help out our family our friends
our sisters in need oh you guys write to us dear toasters at gmail.com it's an advice segment where
you can write it about anything don't be boring or else we won't read it on air um or you can head
over to our website the toast podcast.com should i start with the submission or end with the sorry
the update
it'll be a treat for a job well done okay dear jackson claude i have a male co-worker who says
love you to everyone when he's leaving supervisors males females i work for a small rural ambulance
company so we all get really close really fast and we've seen our own gone too soon
this man has a girlfriend he loves and adores her she even brings homemade goodies to everyone he's
a p-john at first i thought the love you was weird but i'm starting to think it's his version of when
i tell everyone like drive safe i don't ever say it back but i wanted your thoughts if i should say
like you too should i brush it off like i normally do i don't think he's secretly gay or anything
but it's just a man that wants people to know that they aren't alone that's beautiful you don't have
to say it back definitely it's an overuse for sure as someone who overuses it like yeah i say like
love you bye to literally the cashier no to like everyone that i know um not everyone that i know
but like every friend every you love those people right it's true maybe he loves you like love like
but do not say it back but i don't find an issue with this co-workers is crazy of course because
you are supposed to maintain like a level of
professionalism but this isn't unprofessional it's very friendly i think it's sweet
no she also said it's like a very like high and like high risk sort of a crazy job so yeah you
know what maybe we all need to start telling each other that we love each other no and also like
everyone i love you that's so sweet thank you i love you too everyone everyone is crazy yes yes
some way shape or form if this is his version of it by harmless like throwing out too many i love
you like that's fine if i'm his girlfriend i'm not like entirely pleased like everyone's getting it
because then it means nothing when you say it to me yeah that's like an episode of a show what show
is that oh i don't know but that's a good premise like yeah but the girlfriend didn't write in so
she obviously is not the one with an issue it's the co-worker i would just say like thanks or you
should be like oh you're so cute thanks oh that's so sweet yeah no let's say because i'm imagining
he's saying it when he's leaving no but say whatever you want to say he's not saying it
because he wants to hear back he's saying because that's how he communicates he sounds so sweet like
this is fine it's fine you don't have problems okay our next one um hi swirlies when i became an
aunt i was given an anti-nickname by my family that my nieces and my nephews call me it is a
play on my given name and it's turned into a nickname that my whole family uses regularly
when they talk to me very similar to koji like that's what all the kids call me you guys so when
my husband and i started dating which was after my nickname was well established he naturally
started calling me by the nickname too eventually he stopped using my real name and exclusively uses
my anti-nickname for me it is so sweet and i love it in almost every setting but there's a problem
he also called me my real name and i love it in almost every setting but there's a problem he also
calls me by the nickname in the bedroom never ever in a freaky or perverted kinky way i feel
certain that he has a totally innocent heart and that it's really just a habit at this point
but i can't help but feel like i'm really uncomfortable i can't help but feel a little
weird when things are getting hot and heavy and i can hear the name that my nieces and nephews
of course i tell them that it's strange for me or accepted as a name that lots of people
i love use for me in life sincerely a toaster who just wants her legal name sometimes i actually
feel sick for you yeah like i'm just if ben was ever like koji i would die
but koji hasn't taken on it's not like he calls you koji like hey koji get the door it's like
exclusive so the fact that your name has become like a little bit more holistic and like 360
makes it better but like i i just i think you could say something i think you could say something
because like you you can't go on like this forever but if he doesn't call you anything
else like why would he call you anything else in the bedroom between the sheets
like what about like honey sweet pie anything baby boy honeybee like there's a million names
babe
dirty little whore my favorite one dirty little whore like there's a million
babe i'm a babe girl um i just think a conversation is necessary here we're prescribing you a
conversation we are yeah and like you can make it funny don't like reprimand him or make him feel
bad just be like by the way like sometimes like ruins a vibe because like and then i start thinking
about them kids like maybe we could like you know not do that question mark yeah just ask him so
lightly but it's like sweet that everyone calls you your auntie name that's so cute dream scenario
okay so
last or two weeks ago we had a girl right in who said she was booking a boudoir photo shoot
and she was looking on the website of the photographer that she was going to use and
she ended up seeing pictures of her mother-in-law and she wasn't sure what to do because
does the mother-in-law know that her pictures are up there or just ignore it i think what we
had suggested to her so let me read her original submission my husband and i are coming up on our
first wedding anniversary i'm booking a boudoir photo shoot surprising him with some pics was
looking at the photographer's website checking out her portfolio i came across a spicy photo of my
mother-in-law i'm not sure if she's going to like it or not i'm not sure if she's going to like it or not
judging her i'm just concerned because i find it hard to believe that she would have consented to
the photos being public in the portfolio it seems out of character but she's also just gone through
a major weight loss transformation since the photos um which makes it harder to believe that
she would want like the fat photos on there um sincerely a toaster who's just trying to do the
right thing we did say that she should casually bring it up just being like oh by the way i'm
thinking of booking this photographer i saw that you use them like what did you think and then
that could like great advice from us here is an update from the mother-in-law boudoir shoot swirlies
what happened when i brought up my mother-in-law's photos to her i took your advice jackie i brought
it up very casually to her at dinner one night i didn't mention what kind of photos i just said hey
i saw you worked with this person she immediately got so flustered and asked how i knew that she
worked with her i said that the pictures were on the website she tried to say she had never done
and denied the photos ever being taken i quickly dropped the subject fast forward to two months
later my husband tells me his parents are getting a divorce turns out the photos were for her
boyfriend she did not know the photos were being posted somewhere and definitely did not want them
to me i feel absolutely horrible that i blew all this up because i wanted to try to protect her
sincerely a toaster that needs to mind her own business i just want to say i don't feel that
you're to blame for the divorce no me neither and she should know if her like intimate photos are on
the internet sorry so you ended up like helping her you probably ended up helping her continue
the affair longer because she might have gotten caught while the photos were out so i don't think
it's your fault no not at all what a whore like i'm shocked that's insane it's insane to do all
that for your boyfriend like a boudoir photo shoot that you wouldn't even do that for your
husband of 20 years we do that and also if you're gonna do it for your boyfriend like just throw
them to your husband too like a thousand percent it's actually like a great way to earn points and
like actually i think that's more duplicitous like get copies making them both think that it's like
for them i guess it's duplicitous but it's it's also sweet and it's like financially effective
like but it's thoughtful because it's like i did something nice like i'm cheating on you like here's
a titty yeah like i i made you a copy i love you yeah
i don't think you are to blame for this divorce at all and i don't think you need to like feel
even remotely bad about it not at all literally like you do need to always let someone know if
there's intimate photos of them on the internet that they might not know about period of course
i'm cracking up not the boyfriend wow people are wild and that's why you should always write us
updates you guys that's what i meant like people are crazy you know so like if that guy is just
saying i love you like that what's the worst yeah like worry about the other guy yeah but sometimes
every now and then like weird behaviors like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
if you're like that is just the tip of the iceberg yeah there's something serial killer a big mama
underneath yeah right maybe like it's gay i don't know but i don't think that he's a guy but i don't
think like it has anything to do with his sexuality no of course not i'm i didn't bring it up she did
i just want to say i have all the submissions today i don't believe any of them to be gay
and i don't know if i if i could say that for like the last year
honestly so it's nice to have a clean slate today thank you to everybody who wrote in and
