The Podcast is Pregnant: Thursday, September 24th, 2026

Jackson Claude shares a heartfelt and candid update on her pregnancy journey, revealing she is expecting a boy after a surprise gender reveal on Patreon — a first in her career. She describes the experience as vastly more intense than her first pregnancy, marked by severe physical symptoms and emotional fatigue, yet also more emotionally grounded and self-aware. Unlike before, she’s not hiding her struggles, openly discussing nausea, sleep deprivation, and cravings, while expressing relief at finally being able to share her truth. She reflects on past controversies, particularly a fabricated scandal involving Elon Musk, which she says fueled public backlash and highlighted her desire to avoid drama. Jackson also opens up about her shift from a typically positive influencer persona to one of vulnerability and honesty during pregnancy, acknowledging the pressure of being a public figure while navigating a personal life change. She expresses excitement and preparedness for motherhood, even joking about potential postpartum depression, and emphasizes her support system and flexible lifestyle. The episode balances personal reflection with promotional content, featuring partnerships with brands like Vivrelle, Minky Couture, Quins, and Face Foundry, all offering special discounts via the code "toast." The narrative flows from personal revelation to broader cultural commentary on pregnancy, influence, and authenticity, celebrating both the joy and chaos of becoming a parent.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Thursday. Hope everybody's having a great day this far. What's new with everyone else? Happy Thursday, secrets out. Secrets out, I guess $50 is an amazing price for a pedicure. The toast secrets revealed. Finally. Hey, Code Driel, how you doing? Oh, I'm doing good. Just eating for two, which I usually am, but I actually have a reason this time. Hi, Pregriel. Yeah, Pregriel. Yesterday in case you missed big announcement, everyone's talking about it. The Patreon is lit up, not only am I pregnant. We did a gender reveal on the Patreon. Secrets out. First time in the world. Gender reveal on the Patreon. It's so different than the first time. I feel like I'm so chill. I literally forgot to announce for weeks. I am so chill. Nobody's ever been more chill in the whole world. It just felt like I'm just so chill. I just grabbed a slice all the time. I grabbed three slices on three separate occasions yesterday. Oh, wow. Yeah, it just sort of happened. Let me walk you through the details. I had a doctor's appointment. And I had a big scan. So I needed to eat first because I remember last time if I didn't eat laying there. And if you don't eat, the baby doesn't move. So whatever. There's a fab. There's pizza place near Dr. Fox's office. I was more than happy to grab a slice. That was like, you know, maybe 12 o'clock. Later on in the day, Ben was at the studio. He said, I'm coming home. You need anything? I said, you know what? I took a slice of pizza. Like he was offering. And then I went out for dinner with my friends from high school. And we ordered a pizza for the table. That's what I was not going to have. I grabbed a slice from the center of the table. Of the shared plate. So unbeknownst to me, like I had three separate slices of pizza yesterday, which is genuinely insane. But I'm genuinely just trying to survive out here. Understood. So how are you feeling? Update us. Like, how does it feel to have this weight lifted off? It just feels different. Like I, I remember last time, like, oh my god, I could have died of relief. I was so eager to tell people the second the first trimester. And I'm like, let's get it up this time. I'm just like so chill. I'm not like other girls. I used to drink beer. I obviously can't now. Um, not now. Look at that. You know, I feel good. I feel, um, I'm happy. Everyone knows I feel that I can start posting on social media again. Like when you're literally living a double life, but you also have to share your life on social media. Like I had nothing to post because all I do is sit around and eat. Yeah. It's hard. So I was like turning out content all day yesterday because I can finally speak my truth. You could be free. I could be free. I can be. Turning. Exactly. I forgot to tell you when I went to the wedding where I met Alex Earl. They had like a bunch of security. There was like lots of lists and the person checking me in was like Mrs. Freebush. Is that your name? And I was like, no, it's like it's totally. It went over your head completely. I'm like, Oh, Shrey. And she was like, it's a joke. I was like, Oh. Love that. Yeah, I forgot to tell you that. Um, no, I feel great. Doctor's appointment with great yesterday, which is why I was like, you know, let's just do the damn thing. Yeah. And I feel great. I feel happy. I feel excited. Butterflies and my stomach and vagina. It's not a saying. Yeah. It's hard to be audio sound. Yeah. Yeah. I feel nervous if you look excited. And like I knew, I don't know what she was being asked. But I feel like she had just announced her pregnancy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're happy that you're free to share. And we're so excited. We couldn't be more excited. I actually am so excited. I said this on the Patreon. So I don't want to like repeat too much of what I said. Because if you watch the vlog, like. You don't need to hear it twice. But I think I'm more excited like to have a baby this time. Because last time, like, it's also mysterious. Like, you don't know what it's like to have a baby. Uh-huh. Now I know what it's like. And I love that shit. So it's like, I'm almost like, I'm so fucking eager. I'm like, let's go. Yeah. I want it now. Yeah. That makes sense. It's like, it's exciting and you're prepared. It's like a test you're going to ace. Oh, and let me tell you, bark my last words. I'll have like crazy postpartum depression. But like, I'm going to kill it. I'm going to kill it. Like, I'm so lit up for this. Like, let's go. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. TV day. Well, I'm excited. We can now seek our truths, you know. There were a couple of funny comments of like, tells. Well, what's funny is like, I always think that like I say something that gave it away. And it's like the things that people pick up on. I didn't even know what your eyes are talking about. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm like, Jackie, should we cut that out? And the things that people were like, I had a feeling when you did XYZ. I'm like, oh, really? I feel like that's so me just to like do. Yeah. No, some things people said like, oh, when you did this, I'm like, no, no, I did that too. And actually, people were like, oh, when you did this, I'm like, I wasn't even pregnant then. This summer, I was experiencing a month's pregnancy, spending so much time with you. Oh, you guys. The summer was fucking horrible. Like, seriously, that's studio. I can never go back. There was nothing wrong with it. But like, who I was, I was in such a bad spot. I was in such a fucking bad spot as Jackie, like a genuinely miserable person. Like, first trimester diarrhea. That didn't have to do. Like, oh, my God, I was not fucking okay running to the bathroom in the middle of every episode. Genuinely horrible. But I will say, like, people have been guessing that I'm pregnant since like November. Right. What do your bound to be, right? Hopefully. Yeah. Right. So it's like, people are like, well, you said this on the podcast. I'm like, okay, but I wasn't pregnant then. Yeah. Okay. I just talk like all the time. But of course, the breakfast potatoes come to mind. Like I said, I was fighting for my goddamn life this summer. The breakfast potatoes are totally a tell. And you know what? Maybe at one point, I was like, let's cut it out the way I gave not one fuck. Like, people not knowing or being auntie was so not. I was just trying to make it to the end of the day. Right. Right. So the comments were cracking me up. And then of course, the not harping on the fast this year. And I just thought, like, maybe people would think I was like, oh, I forgot to recap it. I was like, just a regular day. Although, obviously, I did not fast. I want everyone to know that. But I did take it light, you know, I only had like a couple of things throughout the day. Yeah. Too big of all the cereal. You were like, gluttonous. No, I didn't want to be gluttonous. I'm like, in Ben's face, which is so rude. Yeah. However, I did end up like giving myself a headache because I was like trying to be like so pious. Like, I didn't eat enough, you know? Mm-hmm. And then I got a headache. So I basically, I did fast essentially. Yeah. Yeah. For like a pregnant person. I was like, in the bathroom, chugging pellet green now. I felt so bad doing it in front of Ben, but like, I was so thirsty. Oh my god. It's fine. And now I'm running on three years in a row not having to pass. And like, that's why you have children. Why didn't you pass last year? I was breastfeeding. Oh, okay. And like, the Rebetson said, you know, you should try. And I did. And the year before. I was pregnant. Right. One day. So, slay mama. Slay mama. Slay mama. I got to keep timing up. These pregnancies. Yeah. With you, I'm keep born. With the Jewish New Year. Mm-hmm. Uh, feels good. Yeah, I'm pregnant. Literally. Oh, and I did a gender reveal on the podcast, but I'll say here happily. Um, we're having a boy, which is so fucking crazy. That's our second and fifth boy collectively, you and I, and within our family, it's our seventh. So we're holding on. Easy. One girl. And everybody thought I was going to be having a girl. Not me. Not me either. Everybody. And nobody had any, like, good reasons other than the fact that we feel like we're owed a girl. You know, like, it's about time. And everybody's like, it's obviously a girl. But why? Like, um, well, no, I was monitoring the turd. Well, I was also deeply, deeply unwell. But your symptoms were consistent with a boy pregnancy. Yeah. I don't remember genuinely having such, and I remember when you were pregnant, you would say this, that like, you really forget how hard it is. And it's like, I remember the first time I was like, I will not forget this feeling. I will not forget how miserable I was. I felt like the first time, the first trimester, like, I was like, was it like this last time? I have no recollection of what happened to me in my first pregnancy during the first trimester. But I could tell you, I feel that this one was 50 times worse. And then everything is made harder by already having a child. Oh, I don't even want to talk about like being a deadbeat mom. But you just can't lay around all day. And you have responsibilities and you have to get up. And so that makes it harder. But I also feel that things are going by way faster because I have a pre-existing family. Like, I can't lay around all day. And like, well, it's amazing to lay around all day when you're tired and pregnant. It is so boring. And it also sometimes does not make you feel better. It makes you feel worse. No, it just moves at a snail's pace. Your life is so boring because like, you know, your new mom of life hasn't started. But you can participate in your old swirly life. So you're just sort of like laying around watching TV, waiting. I feel that this pregnancy has already flown by much faster than the previous one. And I think it's because it's my second. Like, I have life to live. You think it's going on. Correct. I can't just sit around and trust me. It's all I want to do. And that's I just want to be completely honest. I sit around a lot. Mm-hmm. Like I. But even the days this summer where we like tried to get after it and like we went outside and like. You know, you felt good those days. Like I'm going to the truth. It's true. It's true. You do feel better when you go out. But like. It's just hard to do it. And I have like such a flexible job. I'm so grateful. And I have so much help and support. Like, oh my god, it is a nightmare. like that first trimester I understand God in his infinite wisdom like he has a reason for everything it seems so unnecessarily cruel like it really does yeah and then there are some jobs that I'm like how do you can you do this a thousand percent or in your first time or second or third like honestly being a traffic cop hmm I never thought about the pregnant traffic cops the first trimester mama's or traffic cops like standing all day no it's sick like the fumes the fumes people are so rich you so dismissive honky you they can't be good for the baby no totally they need 10 months maternity leave so like I want to think about how much I complained and how much like I have a position of privilege I'm in I really shouldn't complain but I will and you guys do I have this like philosophy about like posting on social media and talking publicly about like parenthood and I'm like I really try to keep it positive like I don't really believe in being like a phobis and a mother on the internet people do that good for you I'd like to do that when it comes to pregnancy I've complete opposite energy I'm so negative I'm so toxic I complain all the time of course we lead with gratitude of course but so just like don't don't expect that same sort of like positive turning okay to come through just want to like level set with everyone well also I haven't been with you since you've entered your second trimester like are you feeling better it's how's your day to day I'm gonna be with you soon so I'll know but like so much better okay much better and like I don't want to complain because it's not nothing compared to the first trimester but like if I wanted to complain I could and how mother fucking tired I am I see about 10 to 11 hours at night and I still take a two hour nap during the day and it's not enough like I don't know when sleep like what amount of sleep will make me feel rested I also in both my pregnancies have a major aversion to coffee which is so inconvenient on days like over the summer when I was feeling really really sick but I had like an all day photo shoot so miserable and I had a coffee that day and like it makes such a difference I can't get it down like even so you'll have to I need like an IV I need to intravenously you need a match I haven't cut out soda like at all and my first pregnancy I was so good about it I had like except towards the end I was like I fuck it but I was like you know two or three a week oh bitch I'm having two or three a day it's my only source of caffeine and my first trimester was the only thing that brought me even an ounce of relief like the burps heavenly like I want to write like a letter to the president of Pepsi Cola like thank you it was the only thing that helped and I'm a lot more layback this time you know good like no no in terms of like rules and restrictions yeah yeah like I'm taking my I was also taking baths the first trimester but I had this like thermometer say baby there is no thermometer like I'm just feeling the vibes like yeah yeah I used to have a thermometer in my first pregnancy like that's something you do when you have nothing else going on yeah no you can really like think about everything all the time that's all you think about yeah and so this time it's like I keep getting pits I'm like wait was I not supposed to do that I also like forget the rules I feel like a lot of the food restrictions don't apply to me I don't really eat sushi and I don't eat light a cane listerine what's it called uh Listeria for like turkey turkey like I could live without it and I only turkey I only turkey when I'm being really healthy and I'm not being really healthy and I don't really want to talk about that part but I obviously like didn't lose a baby weight before getting my next baby which is obviously not the way like I envisioned my life going but I guess the program I'm running like wasn't too strict you know like I had all these big plans and then when it came time I was just like I guess we're doing a plus-size pregnancy like I guess we're doing a plus-size pregnancy it is what it is and it was what it was like whatever I will figure it out next time and they're all plus-size pregnancies no and in the end like you're fat like you know it does feel good to like be able to like know like have people know like yes I'm fat but like I'm also pregnant and so what do you have to say about that you know like you say having a reason for being overweight is such a blessing honestly it really is and are you bumping I am bumping you know we're hanging low bellies low you know okay I saw Dr. Fox yesterday of course like I sit down in his office the funny thing is that like when I go to his appointments I don't actually really need to see him because I get my scan and then like the doctor in the whatever practice like reads me my results but then they're like you can go up and see Dr. Fox I'm like okay great like we don't literally do anything in there except talk and I was like so what do you think about Lindsey Clancy he had to actually really interesting cuz he's kind of like a perianatal like a leading like a thought leader in the perianatal space yes perianatal care and he had a lot of thoughts he was explaining to me like a lot about post-partum psychosis and how he's seen it like once or twice and it is frightening like it's so it's very very real says a lot of people with post-partum psychosis are actually non-violent there's a very very small amount of people who psychotic people as he said you know when you see like a crazy person or whatever they mostly like talks themselves they're danger to really they're not they're not violent they're not a danger to you physically a small percentage of people in psychosis are actually dangerous and violent and actually a lot of the circumstances like so he was basically corroborated like a lot of what he heard about her in her life like she definitely had post-partum psychosis I guess there are people who like doubt that she did and I said can you have post-partum psychosis eight months post-partum he was like absolutely okay so he corroborated the sort of like medical medical aspect like that yeah but he said he said I can't adjudicate them whether or not like she should go to jail or whatever it's like I'm not a jury member but he was just sort of giving the doctors perspective I appreciate that me too still locker up but locker up so yeah I am pregnant oh and in the vlog it took a lot and we're gonna do a Patreon probably next week like a little Q&A so I'm talking about like TTC and you know like we've had a lot of cues to A but like we really couldn't A anything until like we shared this news our news we are pregnant try being an influencer for a day you know like doing a podcast every single day trying to share you know oh my god so difficult yeah so the first time as there is really in general like hard and isolating even if you're just like a lay person but like when your job is to share and like the biggest thing you can it makes it really hard also I feel like like we're a couple like the podcast is pregnant yeah absolutely when you were pregnant it was I remember so funny because I've been like very chill about this whole thing but I remember the first time you were pregnant you might you might have been like 10 11 weeks oh my god it was using Ademi I had one drink and I told like literally everyone at Brian's house I couldn't like I literally was so excited it's just crazy how differently you experience each pregnancy and this time like I remember the first time what I really struggled with in the first trimester was like being a gossip girl like having this huge thing that I couldn't share like it was unfathomable to me that can be going through this huge life change and I can't tell anyone like what's the point you know this time I didn't feel this way that way this time I just felt like how am I especially a functioning member of society like for real you guys want me to like go out and punch someone in the face like that's just impossible for me it is she's having free part of psychosis the expectations were just too much you want to go to work every day that's insane but she did it kind of she did it yeah there was like what like one day I think your birthday you were like really on well so you've so been filled in for you yes yes yeah well what else can I share about me oh yeah and so obviously like Derek hot Trisha Payton's his girl was like I'm pregnant now do not come for me like seriously do not fucking come for me I'm off limits okay I don't and I don't want to hear it yeah we're mate what was the coo from Alex Cooper when she went on that CNBC show when that guy was asking her about she dodged the question what did she say she was like she talks like this what in our and she was what did she say I don't know okay one sec because that's gonna be like my byline these days Alex Cooper you should make it an audio CNBC here like we're in our mother era David I'm busy building a child thank you oh too who what was the interviewer's name Aaron Greg Greg Greg Aaron Aaron Sorkin yeah we had this conversation about Aaron Sorkin right I'm busy building a child Derek yeah so yeah I'm officially off limits I will be using my get out of jail free card for the remainder of this pregnancy I love that you should go harder because you're sort of like untouchable we'll do even though I'm not a touchable because I we got canceled in our last pregnancy this like dumb ass scandal wherever I was wrong and we were right and they're coming for Alex Cooper so actually being even though Alex Cooper did start that I hate to go like and ask about what were we canceled for it I'm so glad you asked somebody started a like an actual libelous fake ass rumor on TikTok that you and I had this like very controversial segment on the podcast where we talked about Elon Musk and the alleged like a Nazi salute and that we cut it out and people are like what is it what is it nobody ever asked to see the footage by the way there was nothing said nothing cut we literally never even talked about on the podcast and oh my god it went insanely viral like what's that phrase the a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put his pants on oh man I was getting so much hate oh my god I didn't even do anything a lot of times I get hate for something I did yeah so we said this was a phantom scandal and I was like not only did this not have you guys are making shit up I I'm also pregnant, fuck off. No, people don't give you, 'cause cancellations are largely done in part by women. Women don't care about other women, especially pregnant women. In the Alex Cooper, she did bring that scandal upon herself by starting it, but still, they're not letting her go. - Yeah, no, women, I didn't even realize you were pregnant at that time. - Oh, I did. I was so stressed. I'm like, I really, I might not feel this way, but I really go out of my way to avoid any sort of drama or controversy or scandal on the podcast, like it is part for the chorus when you do this job, but I think some people do seek it out, like they really do. - Yeah. - It gives me terrible anxiety, like, I don't want it. So I'm like, I didn't even do anything this time. Like, what are you guys talking about? - Yeah. - I felt crazy. - No, no, we were the only ones not crazy. - Correct, as always, the stories, oh, we do have to your toasters today.

Like, I was thinking of the data. - I was thinking of who I wanted to co-host with. It's just like one day that Claudia's out. And I was like, well, who was the most popular person? The last time Claudia was out. And that person is co-hosting with me tomorrow. - Curek. - And I'll leave it at that. - We'll leave it at that. - But yeah, I could get into the stories, even though the major story is art. - Even though like I'm pregnant. - Even though Koji is the major story. - It's insane that we would ever talk about like anyone else. - I know, but we still have some time to fill.

So nearly a year after sparking dating rumors, L-O-L-A-Engly and Tucker Wetmore are now confirmed to be a pair. The pair were recently seen together after the National Songwriter Awards. And previously, they performed a duet at a charity event. So Tucker Wetmore is a very popular country artist. If you don't know him, he's very talented on his way up. And L-A-Engly is the current rain in Queen of Country. Yeah, I feel like it's kind of crazy. I don't know why I was waiting for her to date Morgan Wallen, because the King dates the Queen, you know? They never do. No, they never do. And I also am shocked that she's dating a country artist, because I feel like she was involved in that sort of drama with Riley Greene and Meghan Moroni. So much of Meghan Moroni's new album is about Riley Greene. And I think he left Meghan. A Meghan's side of it is that he left Meghan for Ellen. Ella was Meghan's friend. but. Whatever, I don't know that to be true or false and I'm not like involved deeply in that drama a lot of people are I'm not Um And I just feel like Tucker wet more has the potential to be like Riley green 2.0 Yes, I also see it more like Casey Mascrave's and Her husband whose name you don't know because you what you're trying to say is like she's dating within her Genuinely, but like at a lower level. I see it like Madness Ryan heard. Yeah, what was Preston Kelly Great memory and I also see it like Kelsey Ballerini and Morgan Evans. You know, I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like it is very difficult to date someone and I think gender roles play a huge thing here because like if it was a big country male star dating like an up-and-comer girl We'd be like oh, yeah, and it could work out It would be amazing But like having the queen of country and like because and I know he's super popular But like not even remote compare to her. It's very difficult when like the man is the less lesser successful and they do the same thing. I think it really messes with them Like Kelsey Ballerini, Casey Mascrave's, Mariamar And so I want to love this because on its face I do I've seen Tucker wet more on the charts and like cool They're like so country and young and attractive and successful, but it's a strange dynamic and you need to be a certain kind of man To thrive in that situation and not let it come between you and we've yet to see that kind of man It gives me pause like unless he's gonna be a Connerly of it, you know and not everyone can be a Connerly of it No, they can't be it's kind of a Ben Soffer Yes, like we do the same thing, but like obviously I'm like much more famous since that's all Even though like these days like I don't do anything I say no to everything and Ben like doesn't stop anywhere and he is going to eclipse me like relatively soon Um, but yeah, no, it's not an easy thing. No, it's not so I am rooting for them I am always going to you know, I'm not gonna let the patterns of the past like dictate the future and like project that baggage on to them of course you would ever I would never Um, and I don't want to like dampen everyone's mood because I feel like everyone was really excited about this. Yeah um, but That's just how jack sees it I don't disagree. I love you coming at this from a negative place Um, it's inspired because I'm always the one sort of carrying the torch for the negativity. I'm coming at this from a place of concern Yeah, just like sort of for warning Is that the word yes for warned is for armed exactly Ella exactly So you know I don't know what she can even do, but I hope that she that he's just the right guy Yeah, like maybe he is the Connerly of it of the country music industry. Maybe he is Maybe he is he looks great I think I I listen to his music and and I just want to say it's not like he has no success He's actually like a chart topper um very new, but like it has a lot of potential I think the problem with the examples we cited previously is like there was like little to no commercial success Okay, so he is the person I'm talking about because I feel like I'm like, I feel like there's a tucker brunette that I like that I think yeah, but no, he has a song called brunette. So it's him. Yes. Yes he does so He's not Completely irrelevant at all like I think he has a lot of potential to be like Ella level the others like when we're talking about like Kelsey and and like and I love them And I'm like a deep country music fan, but like they had like really no commercial success yeah But we wish you a hearty muscle. So we do wish you a hearty muscle and Ella can't we to see your wild side like everyone She gets to know she definitely has a wild side obviously tucker is getting to know it. Yeah Obviously you you truly sing in your dance at every place you go Obviously you can relate Having had a wild side yourself. Oh me of course. Yes, of course I can and I could see it in her, you know So do you think tucker will be able to handle all of that? No Just my prediction Okay, but we're rooting for you Who who are you talking to now me and Yeah, no, it's cute. It's cute. It's cute And also like I think that part of her continued success will be like you have to do these types of things where you date Within your industry and I also like the fact that she's like publicly dating someone semi-obvious and and it's like a few couple that we can all root for fun You know, we're like over here being haters. No, no, I wasn't being a hater. I just like I just need to point that out Sorry if that makes me toxic that I just couldn't like Bite my tongue. You don't have to apologize to me ever for being negative hater toxic like you know I look for that sorry that I couldn't bite my tongue But I just thought I should point that out like you know And I'm glad you did talking about like pop culture history. That's what we do when we come out of As stories ourselves. Yes, you know, that's all I had to say it had to mention the history You don't have to explain yourself to me Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm Taylor Swift dropped a new 13-second patience. You're a music video. It's 13 seconds I can't featuring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell It was played on CBS Mornings and it will premiere at the MTV video music awards where she is getting the new award For newness of direct correct for lifetime newness award the lifetime newness of direct tutorial newness video And this is where like I am annoyed because now I have to watch the VMAs and like even I might not have watched it before I knew the music video was coming because I guess she's gonna be there But I'm taking out I'll watch the clips, you know Now unfortunately I have to watch and like that's annoying because I don't even know if I have MTV on my YouTube TV Because that's how infrequently I go over there um Our music videos are very good like I think that we're gonna get something good the song We obviously didn't hear any of the song, but like there was like an instrumental. It's giving Irish jig it was and then Colin Farrell Irish Yes, right sort of like the the The heartthrob of Ireland the Irish man. It's giving like It's giving Ireland like the whole thing. I don't know how to cut it to Johnson becomes Ireland But and like the the scene that I'm looking at is giving like spy movie not to Ireland Well, well you could have also be like to take place in Ireland. It could be like patient zero double zero Seven double zero. Yeah, I love that I was getting lots of tortured poet's vibes. Okay From just like a lot of the coloring and like almost looks like the folklore music video at some points But again, we're seriously just like grass. We had straws. We saw 13 seconds. I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about um Looking forward Do you have any predictions for what the song's gonna sound like? What's the title? Oh patient zero. Okay, let me think hold on patient zero patient zero this is like the beginning Patience it it it euro. I'm your hero. Let's rubber to nero. Let's go hero zero How many fucks do I None not one zero zero zero column parallel That's great. Yeah, I think I'm kind of close. We actually can't do this because whenever the song comes out like For any time I think of the song title like I will think of your version Patience zero that was like I like what I was working with in the beginning there like Patience the obviously I lost it after Robert. I know I like Yeah, anti-hero. It sort of sounds like the Brady bunch. Here's a story Honestly, that's obviously like a Easter egg because camera is super inspired. Yeah Yeah, it's like a big family brings back to wishlist. Yes, right right. It always comes back to wishlist patient zero And that gets a little bit robotic like patient zero I love that Okay, well, we'll see you at the m a's and tomorrow we get the song Oh, yeah Yeah, oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize we get the song tomorrow. Yeah music is Sunday. Yeah, it's really like I guess I don't know what it is, but she really sticks to this format, you know old school like go-no award shows to promote her music Go-no radio stations to promote a music. Yeah, she believes in like a two thousands version of the music industry And she's like now letting her go she's not letting it go. I love how she just like uses the VMAs to fill I mean we're checking we're watching a music video on MTV like what year is it? And they're like, please use us, you know Desperate to be used would never come like just because you like us or like she wants to win in a war like you're hoping to win something like Use our stage. It's userate. It's us Really Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm Ryan Murphy says he just finished the script for a glee reboot and has spoken to the original cast They're all very enthusiastic says Ryan Murphy So it's a good day to be a gleek Following long swirling rumors of a potential gleeg reboot creator Ryan Murphy has officially weighed in and revealed that there's a script He said well funny you asked to entertain me tonight. So I just finished the script an hour ago So we have a script Brad Falchuk Ian Brennan and I who wrote all the first two seasons have written something. I've been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members. It's very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they're all very enthusiastic about the idea. - Who are the 10? Of course, Liam and Michelle, of course, Matthew Morrison. - Let's do like the other Glee Cup members. So, Jenna? - Oh, Jenna Schwartz, Mercedes, Jones. - Cardi, and Cardi. - Cardi. - Sue? - It's not a show without Sue. - Oh, it goes to that saying, if Jane Lynch is unavailable, throw the script in the garbage. - Agreed. - Hopefully Coach Beast, but I wouldn't include her in my 10. - Hopefully, I love Coach Beast. - Hopefully, Ross Washington. - Mrs. Pillsbury, for sure. - Were they still together by the end when she still- - They got married. - Yeah. - Oh, Mrs. Pillsbury. Okay, yeah, yeah. - Oh, Darren Chris. - Yes, Becca Tobin. - Oh, I don't know if they're gonna go next gen, you know? - Yeah, like Marnie. - Right, there were so many people, if they cast Marnie, they better not cast. That ugly loser face. And I need to say his name more. The one who abused the shit out of her physically. Blake Jenner. Yeah, he looks still a working actor. Is that insane? - Oh, yeah. - Oh my God, like, and she went, she went public with it, like literally, and I love that she said, like, yeah, it's him. Like, not like I was once in a relationship. No, it was him. I hate him. I see him sometimes like doing press. I'm like, you should be in jail. What are you doing on TV? I'm proud to say, like, I don't see him around. - Blake Jenner is his name. There's actually way more than 10 people who need to be involved. - Melissa Benoist, absolutely, absolutely. Now, nobody on this planet, like, Glee did not make a bigger impact on anyone in the world than it did on me. - Harry Shum. - No, no, I was thinking the same thing, but he's busy. He's hungry and it's an anime. - I love Glee. I have rewatched Glee in infinite amount of times. And I do worry that the Glee curse is real. Absolutely. I do worry by rebooting the show. You also reboot the curse. And I feel that everybody who made it out of Glee unscathed and alive should be worried about that, honestly. - I don't think it's a Glee curse. I think it's a Hollywood curse. I think it's a Hollywood success curse. - I know, but they were all in the same show. - It was a huge cast. - We had Finn, who was Cory Monty, who passed away. We had Mark Sailing, who was Puck, who was under investigation for child pornography, and then took his own life. Nyer Verra, tragic, tragically passing. - Oh, that was so horrible. What else is involved in the Glee curse? Is that it? I mean, not even more than that. - Yeah, but there might be other smaller sorcerers, but I think in terms of death. - Those are the big three. Oh, hopefully Brad Fowlchuk is involved at the Substitute Teacher, Holly Holiday. We'll be making an appearance. - Like, honestly, the fact that there's only 10 on board is concerning to me. That number should be too. - It's so true. - A healthy 20, because there are more than 10 people that absolutely are non-negotiables for me to be involved. - Now, let's come up with plot. 'Cause it has to do place that William McKinley in high school, obviously. So why would they all be coming out? Maybe it's their 10-year reunion, but that's not compelling enough for a series. They'd be like a special. - They'd be like a children, maybe, or perhaps Mr. Shoe, the Glee Club has gotten so big and successful in the new directions. They're oozing out that they have to bring on more teachers and expand the Glee Club department. - Oh, that's cute. - And then some people come back to teach. Perhaps Liam Schell, who's in the show like a Broadway star, Tony Award-winning. Maybe she comes back for like-- - But all of these sound like small specials. - Yeah, or it could be like, you know, the town rec center is starting a Glee Club for-- - No, it has to take place at the school. Okay, I got it. Liam Schell gets a canceled. She has to go back home to her dad's house and she just gets back in contact with Mr. Shoe and maybe some of the Glee Club members live in, and their kids go and she reconnects to her past. And she becomes the head of the Glee Club. - And then she realizes, maybe she doesn't need Hollywood. She just needs Mr. Shoe. - Maybe, but I don't-- I think she wouldn't be a good teacher because like, no, those who can't do teach, those who can do-- - Right. - Go to Broadway. - Yeah, she's like so self-centered. She couldn't teach anyone else. - No, I know. - I don't know, so-- - And they did? They did have the high school. - Yeah, they did leave the high school. They had like half the series where they were all living in New York, and that was like some of the worst episodes, so-- - I'd like the idea of the rec center, like starting a Glee Club, and then like, you know, varying adults in the community can come join. - The Glee Room, like, is an important-- It's a central character, you know? - Well, maybe the rec center took over the old, William McKinley High School. - I hope they bring back the principal. - Yeah, he was a good principal. - Or, I have lots of ideas. I'm not about to give them to Ryan Murphy for free. - But also, it's like, it's your guys' problem to make this good. - Oh, and you better make it good. How about that? - Yeah, yeah. Are you ready for our next story? - Mm-hmm. - I wanna say speaking of Glee, but this has nothing to do with Glee, but it just feels like it does. - We can find a way. - Okay, because Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner have welcomed their first baby and announced the name, and I think as far as names go, like, this has been a highly anticipated name. What will the two people with the same name, name their child, the same? - Will they name the baby Taylor? - Will they. Did they? No. - Kind of. - Kind of, they named their baby Lennon Taylor Lautner. - Now, let me tell you how this connects practically. - Like, why does he feel so glee? It was the same time. - Because, oh, I'm sorry. And Quinn Fibre, Miss Diana Agron, better be one of the 10 people that was called something. Obviously, when you think of Taylor Lautner, one of the things that comes to mind is Taylor Swift. - Yeah. - When I think of one of the things, when I think about Taylor Swift, I think about her longstanding, and then almost disappeared immediately, friendship with Diana Agron. Diana Agron, glee. - Okay, okay. I think more so, it's just like the time that we were watching, Twilight was like the same time we were watching Glee, so all those people are sort of wrapped up together. - No, don't oversimplify us. - wrapped up together for me. Also, just speaking of Taylor really quickly, did you hear about, like, dancing with the stars is having a Taylor Swift night? - Oh, are they? - Yeah, in like a couple of weeks, so people are thinking it has to do with new music and stuff. - Right, I had heard, not that I heard, they have done that before. I think, I remember in Hannah Brown season, she danced to "Love" or, like, I think that they're, they do have done Taylor Swift before. And, you know, Mandy Moore, who choreographs a lot of the, the dances on "Dancing with the Stars," is also Taylor Swift's choreographer. So there's lots of, and of course, Jan Rovnick. - And of course, Jan Rovnick, yes. - Okay, love this. - Yeah, just curious what that will mean for like new music and stuff, but, - And you're dancing to a Taylor Swift song, which one are you choosing? And what style of dance are you doing? - I don't know. - 'Cause me, I'm doing a jive to message in a bottle. - I might be doing a jive to shake it off. - You would. - You know? - Yeah. - Exactly. - Yeah, hell yeah. - Or paper rings. I would jive the fuck out of paper rings. - Or I'm doing, like, a V&E's waltz to out of the woods. - Oh, that's chilling. - Or a tango, a tango to like a false god. You know, sultry. - Very. Or a cha-cha. Is there a cha-cha? - She doesn't really do a lot of cha-cha. Like, let me take a cha-cha. - A cha-cha. - A reputation. - Like a cha-cha to you belong with me. - That's so cute. - Yeah. - Taylor's daughter. - Taylor's daughter. Have their baby, baby girl, Lenin Taylor Lautner. Love Lenin, they're calling the baby Lenny. I love that. I love that. - Oh, that's cute, Lenny. - I love that they include a Taylor. - Of course. - Because that's so integral to their family. And now they're gonna have to make that the middle name for all their children. I hope they know that. Do they know that? - Oh, you think? - I think. - That's smart. - So that they can all be Taylor's Lautners. - Yeah, right. Like, genuinely, who wouldn't want to be Taylor's Lautners? - Yeah. - I don't know if they realized that they might just think like their first baby, they're naming for that. - You'd see. - But no, you have to do it for all of your children. - Yeah. - And that's so cute. - It is. It's also like a good hyphenate to a first name. Like, Lenin Taylor. - Yeah. Or like, yeah, some people who use their middle names it a lot, like, Jean Taylor. - Do a lot of people use their middle names a lot? - Yeah. Like, Lauren Elizabeth. - Is that her middle name? I thought it was more of like a stage name. - I think her middle name became her stage name. - Interesting, yeah. Definitely people in Hollywood like use their middle names as like their first, uh, Rachel Meghan Markle. - Rachel Meghan Markle, exactly. - I wonder if I was like in the same room as Meghan Markle and I said, "Rachel, would she turn around?" - No. - I don't think so either. - Her friends, they call her Meg, right? - Right. - It's giving Kelly Brienne. - Everything is giving Kelly Brienne. - 1,000%. - Oh, I am Kelly Brienne. And the name of my unborn child is Kelly Brienne. - Yeah, that's beautiful. - You're welcome. - So Mazel took two of the Lawtners, all three Taylor's Lawtners. - To all three Taylor's Lawtners. - You press the name which, as we all know. - It's not easy to do. - It's a very difficult thing to do.

I feel kind of free. Our fifth and final story is some casting news because Netflix has a new celebrity reality TV competition show, okay, trying to compete with traders to the mix called million dollar secret. So I believe million dollar secret was a lay person reality TV show. And now they're doing it with the celebrities, but I heard Wes Wilson is on it. Wes Wilson is on it. So this is who is on million dollar secret. They, you know, film at a glamorous lakeside estate known as the Stagg. And there they must out with their competition and identify the recipient of a million dollars hiding among them. So here's everyone who didn't get cast on traders. Let's her lay Adam Ripon or dancing with the stars. Sorry. Adam Ripon. Pretty to dance with or they've already done those things, right. Adam Ripon, Olympian, Adam Sure, who's a host of something called everything on the menu. Brianna chicken fry, Bridget Everett, comedian, okay, well, maybe they shouldn't have canceled her amazing HBO show. She wouldn't have to be slumming it on a show with Wes Wilson. Shelly Bessanth, host of love, comma songs, Chloe Vitch, host of sneaky links, but we all know her from that season up to how to handle. Like tell us. Okay. Thank you. Netflix loves her. They're always putting her in shit. Good for her. Yeah. Like, gainful employment. I love that. Yeah. Chris Redd, comedian from I know him Christine Quinn, selling sunset. She would actually be really good on traders. Yes, she would. Maybe she already did it. She didn't. Cause she has the loops. Yes. And like, she's very smart. She's smart. She's very villainous. So you probably expect her to be a trader, but then she probably would be a faithful David Arquette, the actor, what in the world is this cast? Dom Gabriel from Perfect Match, Melora Hardin, your favorite actress. You're kidding me. Melora Hardin. That's Jan from the office, right? Yeah. And the boss from the bull type. Yep. And the principal from 17 again. Well, the change is everything. Cause I was about to be really negative. But Melora Hardin is working on the cast is pretty real. I know you probably only saw Wes Wilson, so you just assumed it was like people who couldn't get jobs elsewhere. But like, they're all. It does sound like people who couldn't get jobs all sort of. But Melora can get jobs. Yes. David Arquette can get jobs. Maybe not like he used to. Phoebe Robinson, who's a comedian and West Wilson. I'm not going to lie. It's not a very compelling cast. Like in terms of you, if you want to be up there competing with the traders and the dancing with the stars of the world, I don't know. Well, you got to start somewhere, right? Like who was trader season one cast? I feel like it was still like good people. Yeah. And you would think just like being Netflix, like people would want to be on it. Yeah. Yeah, they're, it's not like amazing. Also, what is the million dollar secret? Like how does it work? I don't know. I think like one person. I don't know actually. I'm not going to pretend. The first season of Traders was both celebrities and civilians. Oh, that's interesting. The two are celebrities. The celebrities were, um, Surrey Field from Survivor, Quentin Giles, a political analyst, Andy Vanacore/Thurmond, a music services director, and then Ari Lindike, Brandy Glanville, Cody Calafiori, Kate Chastain, Kyle Cook, Rachel Riley, Ryan Lockdie, and Stephanie LaGrosa Kendrick from Survivor. Okay. The two are not the same because that's a pretty good cast for a show that just like nobody knows about. Yeah. How Cook was on Traders season one? I'm cracking up like no, I'm sorry. This is, I really probably won't ever watch anything that West Wilson does just because like it goes against my code of ethics. So unless I hear that this is like the most amazing show and people like Terry got to watch it, it will be a pass for me. And that's mostly because I hate West Wilson, but also this is like kind of a rag tag group. Yeah, no, when I feel like it's not must watch television unless you're like invested in the people, which I'm not mean, no, I've got, but I do imagine like West needs money. Yeah. It's going on a year of like no work. I mean, Sierra called him broke and dancing with the stars. And you know what she's not wrong? She did go on Twitter and clarify being like, by the way, I've unfortunately tasted like a lot of broke guys. She said she wasn't talking about West even though like he definitely is on the verge of brokey. Yeah, so. She danced to no work boys and like Julian asked her about the inspiration Stupid question. Oh, it's always Julian. It's stupid. Oh, sorry. I don't mean to come for the heart. Sorry No, I love her like you know that I do and no I love her She's and juicy. She's getting so much hate for the dress that she Oh my god. I thought it was like cute. I don't ever wear it But I had no I thought she looked so cool. Are you gonna talk about her dress? I'm like no, she looks so cool She looks so beautiful like she can seriously do no wrong But there's nothing really to ask after someone just dance and they're out of breasts You're like what was the inspiration for no broke boys? Yeah. Oh, I don't know They told me to dance to it so I did I had to pick a viral song like no But anyway, Sarah said like a bookboy tried to ruin my life, but he didn't and we're here and now he's on this like sad show Yeah, I'm trying to keep a secret But she is very good at he is can you keep a secret? me No, like if you guys have a piece of information that you don't want getting out never tell me like I didn't mean that I can keep a secret unless you are a blood relative of mine Like I'm still not gonna tell people that you're pregnant You shouldn't do you ever tell like my friends before you post in so funny I have been like very busy. I was like telling people on the street But then also sometimes I'd be like very superstitious. I'm like then you can't tell you know only when it came to bed and As I was getting ready to announce I'm like, I guess there are people I should tell but I genuinely cannot remember who I told right So I just size fuck it like they'll call me yeah, because it's like you don't want like some people in your personal I've to find out with the rest of the world so you try and like tell your people a couple days Exactly, but I lost track, but I didn't tell my friends because I would never I Couldn't remember and then I was texting with your friend Sam and She was like how are you feeling? I was like oh, I must have told her. I'm like so much better. Thank God. She never answered me And then she yesterday. She sent me a screenshot. She was like I wasn't sure what you were talking I'm like well, that's a weird way to ask how I'm doing. She said how are you feeling that's funny I wonder what should I guess I I didn't tell her no, I don't think you did like I don't think I told day I didn't tell Dana. I didn't tell you know what I came across my mind I'm like, oh, I should tell Dana and then I obviously forgotten just like posted and then Dana called me But like my friends know me like I'm a steel trap and even like when they want word to get out I'm like mums the word. I'm a jelly trap. Like I Can't so don't worry Claudia. I'll keep your secret like I heard a piece of gossip like just about like people I know nothing interesting like maybe like four or five days ago When I tell you I've not stopped talking about it. Well, it's different nobody asked you not to share and it's a story I think I know what you're saying is that's going around town. That's completely different if someone asked me not to share something White for my memory. I might forget. It's true. I guess it depends who's asking Yeah Let's dive into dear toasters our weekly advice segment that we usually do on Tuesday But we're doing today on Thursday If you ever want to write in the chat advice from us head over to the toastpodcast.com We've got a little submission box or you can just shoot us an email the toast podcast at no Dear toasters at gmail.com. Are you ready? Yep Hey, Sraelis. I'm two years postpartum with my second child and I've gradually lost weight I'm finally back to my wedding weight and I am thrilled my husband wedding weight Yeah, my husband is not he's constantly commenting on a skinny. I am how I have no but skeletal or etc Let me clarify. Let me clarify. I'm five eight and a hundred and eighty pounds So I'm like nowhere near alarmingly skinny. I feel so good about myself and he's just being a total hater I even I even feel I could continue to lose weight because according to my BMI I am still considered overweight. I recently saw on his phone He was looking at large women BBW as they call it and when you search the web I also do think this could be family trauma as well my mother-in-law definitely has some form of eating disorder She's very thin and muscular. Do I tell him I know he has his fat girl fetish How do I handle his body shaming? I don't give a fuck. I feel so good about myself again thoughts Ooh, this is complex Yeah, cuz like on the one hand dream partner, you know On the one hand, it is your body. You need to feel good What however you want to look and want to be and want to live like that is what we're gonna do here We're not gonna especially after having kids like right We're not gonna like stay unhealthy and unhappy because like that's what you have some mommy issues Like right right right, but like what do you do when your ideal body type is not your husband's? Type so I would sort of like de-center yourself from this because I feel that your husband's like obviously projecting like something going on with him I don't think it's more of a reflection on like him being attracted to you Um, it is like most unfortunate that he's like putting his shit on you and like you've just got done having babies Like you're finally feeling good about yourself and he's over here like having a breakdown looking at BBW on online Unfortunately, like you do have to talk to him about this You know this is not something you can just sort of like skirm around Yeah, but I don't understand how like you're at your wedding weight the way that he married you at and like I was saying that that's not attractive to him. See that's what I'm saying That's not the case like I don't think it really has anything to do with the girl writing in So I don't want her to like feel bad about herself or think he's not attracted her because yeah, he married you at this weight That's like probably when someone loves you the most does when they marry you like so Sort of like he's kind of like a therapy Yeah, but you I guess should talk about it um But also, it's like it's so it like immature like a child like I want you to be this guy's like Why don't you just love the person? What about that? No If I wanted to look in and find like a deep red flag I could like controlling someone's weight is insane. Yeah Now he's not controlling it. He's just like making comments. No, it's like if you don't look this way Then I'm gonna try to do like why not be attracted to the woman who bear to your children who loves you And that sounds like what he looks like even though he sounds like a piece of work. Let's talk about what he looks like Tell us Let's start criticizing him like why are we talking about your weight? This is fucking crazy. Yeah Keep going divorce keep going obviously gay No, not divorce, but you know, no, not divorce, but like seriously grow the fuck off and just like know in your head like that he's Mostly wrong and don't let it like stop you from enjoying your life And in case nobody said this to you good for you mama postpartum two years of wedding wedding weight Slay mama skeletor Slay mama, and you know what you wear that skeletor with pro. Oh of course That's like when somebody called me an ozumbic skeleton like okay best day of my life Hey gals earlier this year my family relocated to a new city and state for my job because you know Corporate boss swirly in my quest to make adult friends as a grown woman which somehow feels harder than dating I met another mom We've now hung out three times twice with the kids and once for a mom one night We text throughout the week about school parenting all the random mom things Honestly, I think it's going great and she could really become a good friend of mine. There's just one tiny problem I do not know her name Somewhere between the first text exchange playground hangs one night I just missed it. She never actually signed her messages with her name And now I fear I'm in too deep in the friendship to ask I searched the school directory I school old text. I've played an internet detective not thing. So what do I do? Confess continue living this fake double life hoping someone says her name in front of me fake ahead injury and start over Signed as really just trying to make new friends This is such a real thing. Yeah, and I don't know like how um I don't I don't know how you just don't find out her name. No like there's a lot of ways to practical method I'm going to share one like looking up her phone number. Yes Like a phone directory. They're like apps where it will tell you A lot of times if you just google search someone's phone number it might come up to right I would also introduce her to your husband and then you say this is my husband Steve and she goes hi. I'm Sarah. What do you think her name is? Melora Harding. I think her name is Melora. This is seriously so unfortunate. Yeah But I also don't know how you haven't found it. I feel like you're not trying hard enough like Between yeah having her phone number and like knowing where she was search her address Think your context to Facebook and then Facebook will give you her page Or like do you just have a friend like for us it's Olivia Asher Like if I need a piece of information I take it to the OOBI the Olivia Asher your investigations Do you have an FBI member in your midst because if I needed someone's name and I all I had was their phone number Olivia would say give me 10 minutes. Yeah, this is nothing for a girl like Olivia Sometimes it's okay to outsource. You know, just give us her phone number. I was gonna say Diamolivia the girl's phone number and any other identity maybe if her address like if you went to wine and drop her off Jackie and Claudia told me to DM you to give you this So unless you have like an Olivia in your life. I feel free to use ours. Yeah, I'll give her out for one Yes, but don't use it. Don't abuse it because like we keep her very busy. Yeah All right, our third and final hey Jackson Claude. I have a weird question My ex from like 10 plus years ago would always wear this very specific alone that I really love I'd forgotten about it until recently when some random guy at work was wearing it I love the sense so much. I'm actually considering buying it for my husband. Is that weird? Yes, it reminds me of my ex, but it's not like I'm thinking about I'm consoling or that I care I'm literally married to my dream man and honestly, I just love the scent. I don't know Maybe I'm overthinking it would love to hear your thoughts You know what like it's fine as long as you know just like you and us and our millions of listeners know this like are the only people You know where the only people who know it I will say I think for me like sent is so wrapped up in memory that I absolutely I would not be able to extricate the smell from the person In fact, the smell would smell like my feelings about that person, so I just don't say like if you love the smell I totally agree if I was a therapist and I wanted to look into this like I would say you're obviously not over your accent is so tied to people. Yeah. So for me, I couldn't, but if you really just love the smell and he happened to be the one who introduced you to it and you don't think of him at all, go for it. You found a smell you like that's hard. I'm actually going to disagree with you and say this is a slippery slope. This is how it starts. Then you're talking to my Facebook. You send him a friend across. I think girl, you're playing with fire. And there are a million fragrances out there. And you know what you can ask chat like if I like this, drop a noir. What is a alternative? Yeah. That's a good idea. Because I do think there's some unresolved like you being obsessed with this fragrance 10 years later, like there's definitely some unresolved things going on. Yeah. You're trying to like turn your man into your ex exactly. And like you're sort of like you're sort of in your submission, like preaching a little too hard. And I have my dream man. It's like, well, do you. But also I would need to know more about like the ex. Like is it just like, you know, one of many X is not like the X of your life. Do you know what I mean? Like just someone you dated for a little bit and college or whatever. Like she just refers to him as her X from like 10 plus years ago. I guess that is a really long time ago. Like is that a sign like people have significant X's and then people have of course, of course on the rate of one to 10, how significant was this X? Only you can answer that. And if it's above was this X. Yes, that's significant was the sex. If it's above a six, find another fragrance. That's your toaster. Thank you to everybody who wrote in.
