This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate. Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast and the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials is easier. Complex problem solving. Takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's important that we just reassure people that they're not alone and there is help out there. The Good Stuff podcast, Season 2, takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a non-profit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission. One Tribe saved my life twice. Welcome to Season 2. of The Good Stuff. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome back, Bachelor Happy Hour listeners. Okay, let's pray that this time, this will be the last time that we'll be calling you Bachelor Happy Hour listeners. I know you guys, we've been talking about it. It's like the subject that we'll never end, but we just want to get it right. Yes, today on the podcast, we will be narrowing down the name. once again for the podcast listeners so what we're going to call you guys and we'll have you guys vote on the winner now let's do a better time this time than we did the last time so like we've said before we love when you guys hold us accountable and i'm excited to see some of the new option that you guys have sit in that you've come up with and hopefully we will be able to stick to one of these and call you guys whatever this may be so we're going to get into that in just a minute but before we do we want to introduce our very very funny and talented guest today. You may know her from her Instagram account, girl with no job, or maybe you listen to

her podcast The Morning Toast. But if you don't, you need to know this. She is super funny. She is super talented. And her name is Claudia Oshery. Now, not only is Claudia obviously hilarious, but she is also a devout Bachelor fan. So we'll be having her on to talk all things Bachelor. And we couldn't be more excited. And honestly, we can't figure out why it's taken us this long. to have her on the show. I know, Rachel. I mean, as you said, we're so excited. We'll get her on.

We obviously have to get her on to this naming thing first before we end with a bang. Let me first start by saying, I hate not being able to see you. I'm in a place where the Wi-Fi is super spotty right now. So I'm just calling in. But next week, Rachel, we'll be back. We'll be able to gaze into each other's eyes because I miss technology these days. You know, it's a blessing and under curse. but hopefully next week

I'll get a little bit better reception but yet as you said the naming you know I feel like every week like this is the last time we're going to guys happy hour listeners we're sick of it we know that you guys are sick of it too so we're going to just sift through all of them right now

we have quite a bit I want to first start by saying thank you guys for still continuing to send them in because now I think fingers crossed we're going to have an even better final name that we'll all be able to agree upon. If you're not already following us, please make sure that you do so

because this is where the voting for the final name will take place. You can, of course, find us at Bachelor Happy Hour on Instagram. So after this conversation, the poll will be up. You can go vote. You know, of course, I was talking about voting is important for this because we need a new name for you guys. But this is also so important in general.

It's a big year for your local, for your federal elections, so we can't stress that enough. So just vote, vote, vote. Please use your voice, you guys, because it is important. And that is my big stance of homework for the day is don't forget to vote. And now that that's out of the way we can get back to naming. Also, we're going to put up a graphic on our Instagram, and it is a graphic of when the deadline is for you to register to vote in your state.

So maybe you're like me, and you move states, and your state is making it ridiculous. hard for you to get a driver's license so you can register to vote because of COVID and you have to make an appointment and there are no appointments available and it only let you do it two weeks out. You might be in the same boat as me. So we are going to put up those deadlines for you on our Instagram at Bachelor Happy Hour so you guys can make sure you register in time. Okay. Sorry, it took a little detour there, but if you listen to Bachelor Happy Hour, you know we do that quite often around here. So let's get to choosing a name, just like Becca said. So what we're going to do is read all of these names out loud and then we're going to break down and we're going to

choose our favorite becca are you ready here we go actually not going to choose our favorite we're going to let you guys choose that we're just going to narrow it down so yeah here are the names there are a lot and we do appreciate you for this options options options options love it okay first one up rose patrol okay I'm going to read I'm going to read like five you want me to read like five you want to rotate this okay i'll just i'll just read a few and then just stop okay you've got rose patrol pause i feel like i'm like pause for dramatic effect as if we're in front of an audience people can like say clap or cheer okay next one is we're going to be here for an hour then i feel like we should add a soundtrack like somebody should play a laugh track you know like

laugh track and clapping track something there okay rose patrol friends just just nice and simple friends um bachelor happy nation bachelorinas rosebuds i could already tell you that one's out because i'm pretty sure there's a podcast called rosebuds i'm crossing that album out now yeah rosays rosays um happy hour honeies just simply honeies or happy honeies hourglasses and clinkers okay I'll let you go okay god we have so many here okay I'm going to read about 10 more

so beyond all of those options we have rosettes batchies happy batchies happy hotties habitizers rosé babes right reislings

oh that's kind of a cute like cute little catch one okay sorry tangent And then batches and bidders. Okay. Right Reaslings is somebody's Instagram. I see it. It's like a fan account.

I've seen it before. So we can't take that one, even though I think it is super cute. Okay. Then we've got crafters and craftierettes. The fact that I paused on saying it is already a no. The fact that I had to sound it out, I don't think so. Yeah.

It's a mouthful. It's a lot. Bachelor buds. Bachelor believers Bachelorists Um Bacheloritas Bacheloretas

Bachelor friends Okay then adding on We have Bachelor royals Mansion dwellers Champagne Steelers Bublies Bachelor fiends

Hopeless Romantics and hapsters All right good grief you guys came up with a lot and I really like that I really like that we have so many okay batch feel bad for everyone listening who doesn't have this on the list because thank god we can look at it and that can kind of make notes and cross them off but who may need to put all of these on just over I know we probably should um did you say hapsters yes okay okay batch happy's final roses batch gang rosistics roseistics rose

true, bachelor besties, the sisterhood, batcherinos, batch makers. You can close it out. Just a few more. Bear with us, guys. We have batch pack. Bachelor citizens, Rosie's. Chris's Angels, which when I first read that, I was like,

who's Chris? Of course. Well, it's like Chris Angel. Isn't that the guy who's the, I mean the comedian. The magician. The magician. Yeah. Batch babes, right reasoners, right reason crew, bachelor mob, regulars, and bugglers.

That is the last one, I promise. Okay. So, you guys, we appreciate all the suggestions. Unfortunately and fortunately, there can only be one. So I already know my top. four going through it. So I will name my top four and then I think you name your top four and we'll see what happens. Okay, so here am I. I feel like I already forgot them. I'm looking for the first one I saw that I liked. Okay, I think it was so many. I know, there's so many. But there, okay, I think

you want something, when it comes to a name, we want something that's catchy, right? So I'm picking the first four that immediately caught my attention. It's cute, it's witty, it goes towards the name Batchar Happy Hour, and it also is something that's short. I want a short name. So these two word names aren't going to, aren't really flying to me. With that being said, here are Big Rache's top four. Rosettes, Bublies, Batch Gang, I think that's what I saw. Yep, Batch Gang. I and batch pack those are my top four

actually I don't like batch pack I took that away I only have three I said it again and I didn't like it okay I have maybe just one of the same

oh that's good options options so I think one of my favorites out of this just because I feel like it plays into like what the batch or franchise is

I kind of like batchmakers like matchmakers except batch makers Oh, I don't even remember saying that. See what I mean? I'm not an, I'm not an, I'm not an, I'm not on tour. Batchmakers. Last options, 15 minutes later.

But batch makers, yeah, it's like matchmaker, batch maker, batch maker. We can start singing with it. We could make our own theme song for this. That was one, but I think you also liked Bubblies. I liked Bubblies. I thought clinkers was kind of cute because it's like, you know, you clink your glasses. It could work.

um i also at first what was the other one they said oh i kind of liked rosettes at first but then i feel like we probably also have some males that listen to this that might not fit in with that so i i crossed that one off but i would say bashmakers bubblies and clinkers were my top what is that that's only three i guess right yeah so we only have three i mean an honorable mention for me is haphotizers. I like it written down. I like it in theory, but to constantly be like,

what's up, hepatizers? I mean, that's how you guys have to listen to it. It's like, think of how we introduced the show. Hey, haphotizers,

hey bubblies, what up bubblies. You know, what was another one you said? Which one did you like? Clingers. What up, clinkers? I don't know why that sounds like a curse word to me.

So, No, why. I like how you say it in that context, because that obviously is how we kick off the show. I kind of, when I was reading it, I liked rosé's, like, hey, rosé's, but would that work like brandy-wise, or wouldn't people see it when they just think of Rose, like, the flower? There's so, well, there's so many, like, spoofs of this, in regards to, like, Baxter Nation and the franchise with people that have their own shows. So when I think of, I like rosés, but I think of Lauren Zima's show

Roses and Rosey. So that's the only reason I steered away from that one. So, okay, you guys, I think we've got it. We don't want to spend too much time talking about the names. We want you guys to think about it. So whether you wrote down all the names

that we talked about, or you want to hear our top three again, which we'll say because, frankly, I forgot the top three that I just named. So, but we'll also put it. A lot of people that will hold us accountable. Right. We'll also put this up on Instagram at Bats or Happy Hour.

Follow us if you aren't following us already. And help us come down to a name. I feel like we've taken into consideration everything you guys have said. I don't think these names are offensive or derogatory in any way. So hopefully you like this new batch that you have. We're also instead of giving you two options. We're giving you six this time. So my top three and one of ours crosses over.

So actually it's five options. uh rosettes bubblies and batch gang and then batch makers clinkers what was the other one I said bubblies yeah the bubblies

for both of us so those are my choices and you know reading for some of these I feel like some we could take and I always pull for like a tagline or mottoes down the road so we could still fix them in somewhere so thank you guys for writing these in and we have a lot of

options to go through now. So please don't forget to go out and vote. Again, that's going to be on our Instagram after this. And hopefully by next week, give us seven days and we will finally have our new name that we can announce to you all. And if we haven't convinced you already, I suggest that you go and wherever you listen to music, an oldie but a goody, go tune in to Colby Calais song Bubbly. And maybe that'll, you know, make you start to fill it in your nose, fill it in your toes. I think those are the lyrics to the song. Starts in my toes makes me... I used to love that song, but...

Why are we always singing on this podcast? Two people who cannot sing are always, you know, give us a microphone and we're like, let's go. I love it so. I mean, you know, it's entertaining. Hey, and, you know, sometimes I think we perform semi well, not all the time, but sometimes. Yeah, at least we have fun with it, right?

Like, we own it, okay? We like to sing, we like to dance, we know we suck, But who cares? It's fun. We're going on. Exactly. Exactly. So now that we have taken up 15 minutes of your time talking about names, something that should have been done weeks ago, but clearly we suck at this. And that's why we're asking for you guys' help. Now we want to get to our guest of honor for the show. We've already mentioned her. She's absolutely hilarious. She's super talented. She's a business woman. And she's an innovator, honestly. I mean, what she and her family have been able to do in the digital space and beyond is, is beyond me. And she's only like 25.

I mean, my gosh. So Claudia is the creator of the account, Girl with No Job, Pup with No Job, and her husband has boy with no job. She's a fellow podcaster. She has a comedy special that's out right now called Disgraced Queen. And even with all that she has going on, she still finds the time out of the goodness of her heart. to sit down with us and talk about her love of The Bachelor. Everybody, please welcome to the show, Claudia Oshry. Welcome to Bachelor Happy Hour.

I'm already drunk. It is an honor to be here. Are you really? I'm really, I legit. It was like, maybe I should just take a shot and catch up. Well, if this was my show, I would just be drunk all the time. Because it's in the name, and I feel like in order to be my best podcast host, I would have to be drunk.

I feel like I didn't come prepared I know me either I'm still trying to catch up on coffee right now I'm drunk on excitement because I'm just excited to be here I'm excited to see well I'm not seeing Becca but I'm seeing Rach, you look beautiful and I'm just excited she looks great Becca by the way Claudia you look fantastic I you know I was sitting here thinking about this before we got on and I'm like what has taken so long for us to get Claudia on the show

we've had the podcast for a year I would like to say on behalf of Bachelor Happy Hour. We're sorry. Oh, my God. Are you kidding? When I got the email, I'm like, are you kidding? This is so legit.

You know, everything I do is like so like back alley, like fake. I like just like get it all together at the last minute. And you guys are so legit. You got Warner Brothers on here. I am just like honored to be here. I feel like I'm on a Hollywood set.

I feel very fancy. I got my special podcast mic out of storage. I'm honored. She like she's got the makeup going. It's like this natural beauty glow. She looks great back. She looks great. I will have to FaceTime you guys after this.

I'll send you some heavily doctored selfies later. Please do. I would love some. Put it on the fridge. Okay. Claudia, how are you? I haven't talked to you this entire.

Well, I mean, we've maybe like text, DMs a bit, but how are you? What's going on? I'm fine. It's,

you know, I'm in New York. So, like, for us, it was so bad at the beginning and everyone was, like, laughing at us,

you know? And now it's like, we handled it very well and now we're laughing at everyone else, you know? Because we're in like, stage phase four or something. I don't know. Technically, like, life

is starting to return to normal, but I still don't leave my house, and it feels very weird here. It's not, it's technically open, like you can go out to restaurants, and I did go out once, and I saw a cockroach, and so I just left. But I mean, that's New York, you know,

a cockroach here, a rat over here. Well, you know, I'm so glad to that. I'm so glad you guys brought that up because there's actually been a major shift in New York during quarantine. You know, the roaches and the rats really live and exist around the restaurants. And when all the restaurants were closed, you know, they started to go hungry. They were out of the streets.

They were out on the streets. So what had happened, yeah, no, actually, Becca, what had happened was this kind of gang war within the roach and the rat communities. This is disgusting. And they started to eat each other. Shut up. So resulting in much larger roaches and rats, there's actually a video that went viral of like all these rats in the subway feet.

sting on this one rat who they like attacked it's fucking real out here okay i'm just picturing claudia i need you to get down on your hands and knees like on all fours like the animal planet where you're like documenting the rats and the cockroaches Becca i'm honored that you think I'm that flexible but i can't really get down on my knees like i actually throw out my back I have an icy hot on my back quarantine has broken me like truly in a physical and emotional sense I have sciatica It's the sitting down It's the sitting down

I'm discovering new ailments Like I definitely have a back problem And I never really had one before I have anxiety Like I have all these new ailments That are taking me down And you know My sister was telling me

She was talking to her friend Who has been in therapy for years And her therapist was saying Like this is actually like not a normal thing Like, no average human can really survive this without something coming out of it. And it's so true. Like, this is so abnormal what we're living through. Yeah.

Well, roach rats now. Carpal tunnel. Set in with your fingers and hands and thumbs because I think I'm on my phone so much more. Then I'm like, oh, my God. You know, like the scene in Mean Girls where the principal comes in. He's like, oh, I got carpal tunnel over the summer. Yes. And this is cast.

You know, I'm on my phone just as much now as, I was back in the day when, you know, we could roam the streets. That hasn't really been affected. But I'm sorry that that happened to you. You know, well, we got sciatica and all these other things. I also love how I feel like no matter what we do on this podcast, it always comes back to the rats. Like when Rachel and I first started together, it was Peter's season and we had to do

the cats and the rats each week. And through quarantine, we can turn it into the cats and the cockroaches. I don't want it. I don't want to play this game. I don't want to. Rachel, you don't have to live in New York. We live in this game, okay? This is our reality.

Listen, it saddens me with New York, though, and we are going to move on. Bachelor happy hour listeners, I swear, I swear to God we're going to get to the Bachelor. But it saddens me what's going on in New York because it's just such a vibrant city. And I know so many people who live there who are either have escaped permanently, don't want to come back, and are just sad about what's happening with the city. And they don't know if it's ever going to return to the same. way that it was before. Because you know what it is?

It's like there's not, there's so many great things about living in New York. Like there's, it's so, you know, lively and the hustle and bustle. It's like this metropolis. And when you take all that away with quarantine, you're left with like the really shitty parts of New York, which are small apartments, crazy rent. And that hasn't changed, but all the good stuff has been taken away. And it's kind of being, you're stripping down to like, New York is actually not that great. Yeah.

Yeah. No, that's true. That's why you go there. when you have enlarged cats and cockroaches run in the street sound that's all your lusts look outside if you bring up those roaches and cats and rats she is hung up on the roaches speaking of roaches let's talk about the batches

but wait back to the roaches for one second I promise this is the last thing I'll say I was thinking about it because you know every region in the country like has their own vermin issue I think in Florida like you guys have like lizards or some iguanas we don't have squirrels just yeah iguanas are out here some parts of the country have like snakes so honestly I don't know what's worse I think I would rather see a roach than a snake that's all I'm saying have you ever seen a flying roach yes I have actually okay I was going to say that'll change your mind that'll change your mind snakes can't fly the moment one flies after you up from the south the moment one flies

It's a rat. Seeing one in New York is like a real culture shock because you don't think that they fly. And then one comes darting at your face and your ass is running down the hall. And it is fucking traumatizing. Maybe that's why I have a fear of things that fly. It's that.

Can we curse here? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. You're in a safe place. You're in a safe place. What we're trying to eventually get to is The Bachelor and Claudia,

we know that you're a big Bachelor fan, but what is it that you love the most? most about the show. Wow, that's such a hard and general question, but I will do my best to assess. I think what I like about the show, like the actual content, is just it serves as like a form of escapism. I like getting away from the world for a while. And for my business, it's great for business.

I love having, you know, the Bachelor contestants on the show. We recap the Bachelor. It's just like communal thing where people around the world who are different and have different interests, but like we all agree on The Bachelor, you know? Do we? It really, well, it's sometimes. It does people in a very, like so many people, even like more guys and guys come out of the woodwork and they're like, yeah, I've been a fan, you know, my wife or my girlfriend. And Rachel and we've talked about this, but they'll always blame it on the wife or the girlfriend or the fiance.

Oh. But the guys get hooked and it's just, I feel like out of any TV show out there, the Bachelor and Bachelor and the entire franchise is like what really bonds the most random of people. No, literally like Ben comes in. He's like, are you watching The Bachelor again? And I'm like, yeah, I am. And then he sits down. He's like, oh, my God, Rachel Lindsay, again, starting this drama. Like, he knows everything, but he pretends that it's annoying, you know?

He's like, oh, my God, Ari can't make a decision. He's so indecisive. That's what my mom is. She's like, I'm so over it. You know, I don't want to get into the drama. I don't want to watch it anymore. And then she always is like, wait, so who's this? Why are they fighting?

What's going on? I'm like, Jill, just watch from the beginning. We need to release the shame. Like, just embrace it. I think people are now. it's almost like with housewives and bravo people are just like wearing it like a badge of honor it's a community we're out here we're bachelor nation proud bravo hollics proud it is what it is but how did you get into watching the show and whose season did you start with that's a really good question so my

sister jackie is like truly a bachelor encyclopedia like she knows everything and she's watching way before i was i have to give her credit and she got me into it in college i think the first season. I need to go back. So I watched Ben Higgins season and then who was before Ben? Caitlin. I watched Caitlin's season. And then who was before Caitlin? One pop? No.

Sean? No. Chris Schles. Thank you. I watched Crystal's season. And then I think I started with Andy. Okay. Great season to start with. You know, and you always think when you're watching and you're like, wow, this is such a good season. Like, I don't know how they're going to top it. And then, like, years later, you were like, oh, well, that was also a good season. And they really are always kind of topping themselves.

It's always, I feel like it's so funny because between my girlfriends, it's always a running joke. Because you know, every season, Chris Harrison comes out with a little teaser, like, this is the most dramatic season yet. And the next season, he says the same thing. And every season, you're like, how the hell does it get more dramatic than that or this? But it just keeps that going to my next question, because I feel like I already know how you're going to answer this. but what are you more of a fan of when you watch the show? Is it the love or the good drama that goes down? Oh, I am a proud stand of the love.

Like, I really wish. Really? Yes, I know. And I know everyone like loves like, oh, Kelsey, the champagne popped out of her mouth. Like, yeah, that was funny. But I really care to focus more on the love. And like, that's why for so long, Caitlin and Sean were my favorite season. Because I really felt like you could feel the love radiating throughout the entire episode.

like and the way like Sean used to get so mad when she would go on a date like that's love and like that excited me and like their engagement like I used to watch that video on YouTube all the time because I thought it was like so special obviously like the world had other plans for them but in the incubator of their season like I thought that was the best season ever because there was drama but there was just as much amount of love and I feel like the love is what really draws people to the show so then you've been disappointed with what you've been seeing as of lately because there's been a lack of love but you know what I see it all from a business perspective.

Like, I see, like, they love the drama, the memes, the tweets. Like, I get it. But that's, like, actually not my favorite part about the franchise. Like, I love the love. Well, I think that that's what differentiates this franchise from other reality TV shows that are like it. People actually fall in love and they get married and usually engage at the end of the show. If you take that away, then we're just like any other show, love show that's out there, you know?

But I also thought for a while the engagement was. sometimes in certain situations, just not what the couple needed. And they could have had potential to exist. But the question of like, should we get engaged? Should we not get engaged? Really kind of ruined them. And they maybe never got a chance. But now I think we're so relaxed with the engagement that nobody's getting engaged.

Yeah. Well, people keep setting a precedent, you know? Right. It's really started with Colton's season and then thereafter. I mean, Hannah got engaged, but then... Wasn't that fault. Yeah. Peter got engaged.

Yeah. But then maybe Peter quit it. Hannah asked her second guy out. It's like, things just keep happening. But see, I hold accountability for the lead. So with Hannah, that was out of her control. You know, did she choose the guy I would have chosen? Absolutely not.

But he did unto her. And it's not her fault that she didn't get engaged. Colton, it was made very clear to Colton from the very beginning that Cassie, like, did not want to get engaged him. And he just, like, put on horsewinders and pretended that he didn't hear it. So I feel like I hold Colton a little bit accountable. And I also definitely hold the pilot Pete accountable because he's just messy, messy, messy.

Messy. I feel like that was the same sentiment from, what, was it Leslie or Grandma Honey from a couple weeks ago? Both of them. Like both of them. They're not fans of him. I disagree with you, though, about Hannah because Jed told her he was there for the music.

So, you know, for me, I would have been like, cutting you out right, right, then and there. Well, then, wait, I have to ask you that, are you a fan of Peter and Kelly? Okay, so this is where things get complicated for me. I'm so glad you asked, Rach. Here's where things get complicated. So, you know, like, I have a podcast and I have, like, a popular Instagram. And, you know, whenever they announce the girls, like I go scrolling,

I like to see who follows me on Instagram, maybe who listens to my podcast, you know, I'm very self-involved. And that makes it really hard for me because I automatically just love the people who follow me. You know, at least you admit it. Of course. Yes, and so Kelly is a big fan of the podcast. She's always commenting on her Instagram. She wants to come on the show.

So while I think, like, you know, she's a third runner up and maybe she shouldn't have, you know, said yes to Peter, I had no choice but to respect her. Because she respects you. Exactly. I love that you admit that, though. Of course. I mean, it's my favorite part of the franchise

is that like in a very, very small way, I get to get involved, you know? Yeah. We're connected. There's a lot of crossover. I'm never going to get on the show. I'm married, and I would never go on a show where I have to wear a bathing suit.

So this is as close as it's going to get. But Claudia, if you were the bachelor, I need to know, what would your tagline be? Oh, so like, that's my girl. Right. Yeah, people forget we have taglines. We do. Like housewives, we have taglines.

Excuse me. It's so iconic, and it's literally the best part when that trailer comes out, and they gave you that Fifth Harmony song, and you got the Kesha song, Becca, so good. magic thank you they really

they really pick the the bachelette song as well and rachel and i were talking about this a couple weeks ago for hannah as they did you don't own me uh yeah like keshah independent woman like they just they just choose good ones so what would yours be if you were walking out it's Claudia's promo teaser

premiere commercial what are you wearing and what song is playing and if you have more than a big one what would it be well i am i will paint it well. I mean, red is not really my color, but I'll give on that. I would have Warner Brothers ABC bring in this special high quality camera that's very slimming and that clears the skin. And instead of roses, because you know, that's so, you know, so done, you know, I want like glittery confetti with like a wind machine in my hair. And playing in the background would be my original

song, Toast by Claudia Asre. That way I could pick up royalty. and license fees from Warner Brothers so I can make a little extra money on the side. You guys, she is a business woman. That's exactly. You just branded your entire, us. I feel like we need to make this and just put it out for the world to see.

You have to think about these things. You only get so much time on TV and so you need to capitalize it. Look what you both have done. You've built brands. Some people have tried to do that and they can't do it. So you've got to take that. Who knows?

I could get sent home on the phone. first night. Like, you really never know. I'm so the girl who would get sent home on the first night. Like, so I need to really capitalize. No, she would. I think he would, no, you would stick around because you're fun. You're like easy to talk to. You'd be making everyone laugh. You'd be the one like cutting the tension the first night. You, you would not go home. I also have to ask, like, what would your limo entrance be? Like, would you be somebody that comes out in a costume? What would that look like? No. So I, my personality is like very over. the top and I know that like I'm not for everyone I know so a lot of people find me really

fucking annoying and I I respect that like I don't necessarily disagree so I think like in an attempt to just contain myself a little bit I wouldn't be coming out in the chicken costume I think I would just really let my beauty speak for itself and I would just I would just like have ring lights everywhere and like wind machines and like maybe a little mist of you know some some water like it would just be very tasteful I love it because your person personality would speak for itself. Also, when you go back on tour, because you will go back on tour, that should be your entrance. Not the limo one. You should have the wind, the confetti. Obviously, the song is playing in the background and you should just come out. You've already done

your opening moment for the new show. And betty machines are very expensive. So, like, I will have to figure out the finances behind it, but I will get a ton. I feel like you've already researched it because you knew that. I would know that. I have priced it all out. I have an Excel spreadsheet. cheat and it's out of my budget when this happens just have Rachel and I come and be like your groupies for like the tour and we'll come out with like the champagne

popper bottles I used to do I mean it pops it goes and you like through that confetti Becca you're late I'm already I am a groupie I've been to two shows and two different states backstage drama ensued

I'm in Dallas and I just got off the stage and I'm like elated. It went so well. It was like one of my biggest shows and the biggest year. I was just feeling so proud and my agent comes back and he's like, there's an NBA player here

and I'm like what? Why? Like how? Who? I was so confused. And of course I'm like, all right, bring everyone back. I had some friends in family in Dallas and everyone came and of course Big Rage walks in with you know PJ Tucker

oh this is my childhood friend PJ yeah, he plays with the Houston Rockets. I'm like, excuse it? So funny. So many people that she, like, every time I had the podcast with her, I find out that she's like friends or know somebody or like, New Nelson's childhood. And I'm like, what?

And you know what? All these people. Going out with big rage, like in Dallas where like that's her town, it was so empowering. And then, like, it was just such a fabulous moment because like a month later, I was in New York at a fabulous party where like I really did not fit in. and I saw PJ Tucker and he came up to me and I was like

PJ and like we were just like reuniting like best friends and my husband Ben who like loves basketball was like did PJ Tucker just say hi to you and I'm like yeah he actually came to my show we're friends we're friends we had the best time we really did like it went into the night it was great until it wasn't it was a little dark

it's a little dark Becca you have to go to one of her shows though I'm not even saying this because she's a friend it's absolutely amazing and then to see how crazy we got into a fight was through her face oh my Rachel I'll tell you

she was starting drama she was starting drama we got into a fight Becca we were lit okay it was a big it was a large group of us it was like nine girls

one guy PJ we had so much to drink because that's what you do like drink it's like a big girl party it's so much fun it's like girl power and we were very loud and some of the toters

in front of us kept asking us to be quiet and we weren't having it and so it was more of like I'm sorry, excuse me Claudia, can you come off the stage and talk to this person? I was dying, they came back and they were like we got into a fight. I'm like, what?

Where were you? Like I was so confused. It was so funny but like, you know what? You got to do what you got to do. We've never talked about this story in public too. It was so funny. And I made it in the world when when fans get insights on your podcast tour in the audience.

No, it was epic. And I know, like, you know, it's a very, it's very similar audiences, lots of crossover between like our podcast and The Bachelor. We do so much Bachelor content. And everyone knew who you guys were.

It was like literally like walking in, like the Queens of Dallas. And you must have been really loud for them to actually say something to you. They were really loud. Like PJ Wampin's like, Rachel, please. And I was like, I know she did.

Did she just say that to me? Yeah, it was. But no hands were thrown, just words, and we had a really good time. Okay, that was so fun. We're going to keep getting off topic and not talking about that, even though that was a little Bachelor-related, you know? Yeah. It was like Bachelor Nation versus the Toasters.

It was fantastic. It was great. Fantastic. Hatfills and McCoys. Okay. You guys mentioned like the Queens of Dallas, and I, for some reason, they said that I just automatically, like, think of the house size to pop into my brain.

But, Claudia, if you, if there was a little. celebrity or another reality star whoever might be who could be the next bachelor or bachelor or if it was a housewife who would you nominate who would you want to mean there've been so many rumors forever that like Chloe Kardashian is going to be the next bachelor and she literally tweeted about it one time she was like stop saying that I'm never going to be on the bachelor but I would love to see it because she's got like a messy little love life too and I think she could really benefit from meeting some nice humble you know normal guys that's what she needs I just I wouldn't want wouldn't want a Kardashian.

They take up too much like entertainment, pop culture space. You know what I mean? And none of the guys would be there for the right reasons. I would only live for Chloe telling everybody off. You know? Because she's a smart ass. And I love that. She's probably my favorite sister.

I think if any of them were to do it, it would only be able to be her. What about Kendall? No, yeah, Kendall, no. No. I don't think she, it's, you know, you both know, it takes so much to be elite. I can imagine. like you need personality it's long days you need to be funny you need to be able to hold a conversation with a million people no matter how boring they are and not everyone can do that that's true and i'm thinking like if it's one of the Kardashians and they bring in like a joe schmo from minneapolis like somebody that i would go for i cannot imagine at the end of the couple months of filming that they'd be like oh yeah like maybe i'll move to minnesota i just don't think that would work no definitely not actually clover We did move to Cleveland for Tristan. So it's not crazy.

She also moved to Dallas. She did move to Dallas. My sister, my oldest sister used to go to gangs just to stare at Chloe Kardashian across the way. And I was like, Constance. That's what I would do. Get it together. I'm with Constance.

And Kim Kardashian used to date, well, I remember when she was with Chris Humphreys in Minnesota, like they came to a party at all this. Oh. And how can we forget? Partying the sea as she was like being carried through the water of, Lake Minnetonka, I was like, how is this weird? But then I don't think really like Minnesota and talk bad about it. And I was like, she can't hang here.

I mean, how can we forget about Reggie Bush? She was in New Orleans every weekend. If there's a game, a concert to be had, the Kardashians are there. You know what I mean? It's not that hard for them to get places. Yeah, though, absolutely. Okay. So you have, and this, I'm surprised we haven't thought about this before or talked about it.

Maybe you have, and we just don't know. you're such a fan of reality TV and I want to know why you find it so compelling to watch but also have you ever talked about doing your own reality TV featuring you and your sisters are so much fun like you guys give us so much into your life on the podcast and everything I just shocked you know it used to be like the dream you know everyone wanted to be the Kardashians everyone says like we're the

Kardashians East Coast but I don't know it stopped being the goal for me a while ago I feel very comfortable in the digital space and that's kind of where I thrive and I don't really take criticism very well like I give off the vibe that I have like a tough exterior and a thick skin but like I'm the opposite like I will cry myself to sleep every night if I read a mean comment

about myself whether it's about like my physical appearance like I really can't handle it and so yeah no it's crazy and that's something I've learned about myself as I've gotten older and I really I don't know I just feel like people get the opportunity to do a reality show and they just do it whether it's like it's not the right opportunity and it's

not the right platform. And I don't know, it's just, it became less, I think maybe like watching so much reality TV and becoming friends with people who were on reality TV, maybe didn't have positive experiences, made it less appetizing for me. And, like, when I was in high school, like, I would always say, I'm like, I'm going to have a reality show one day. Like, I was so annoying. But like, that's really what my dream was. And it's just not my dream anymore. I just think, like, as I get older, I want to create a brand and like, and continue to work in this field where I'm comfortable, and I just don't think I would be comfortable there. Would you be comfortable with someone critiquing your reality show the way you critique shows?

No, definitely not. And, you know, as I've gotten older, the way I talk about certain TV shows has definitely evolved, too, because it's like, it's so easy. You know who really changed my perspective on everything was Corinne Olympios? Oh. Shout out to Corinne. I met her, and this was at the height of her season where she was like, everyone was talking her she was crazy platinum virgin blah blah and i'm like oh this witch is crazy and i went to a pregame

at like a random pregame and i met her and she was so lovely she was definitely like a little crazy i could see where you know the the brand was built around her being like fun and outgoing but she was really just like a normal person and they just kind of blew it up to such an extreme and i feel very similar to her in a lot of ways like with our personalities um and i'm like that could be me and when i it just kind of shifted how I started talking. It really humanizes someone meeting them and then like seeing how different. They are.

Same with Olivia Cariti. I was in my sister's apartment building and she got in the elevator and I was like, oh my God, it's you. And she was like, oh my God, it's you. And she came over and she was really, you know, had a tough time with the girls, with the audience.

And she was so nice. She literally sat in our apartment. We had wine. She was the coolest girl ever. And I'm like, oh my God. You really don't know people. And it was this like eye-opening experience that you can really only have

when you meet someone from The Bachelor because it really humanizes people. And I still don't always get it right, but I try and comment on the show a little easier now because you really never know what's going on. Yeah, it's nice that you say that because I think that's something that we try to reiterate

when we talk about this is that like everyone watching the show gets two hours of this crazy love life whirlwind relationship in two hours every Monday. Like there's so much more feeling that goes on that no one will ever see. And there's obviously so much. towards to a person's life. And so it's kind of sad at times when somebody, especially in social

media, people villainize people so much based on like one thing that was said. Like I just remember Crystal on Ari season got tore apart. And you know, yes, like at times she was a little much. She did say certain things that like really rubs girls around the way. But in reality, like she's a great person and she didn't deserve the hate that she got. And that's something that's trying to reiterate to people is like take a step back. This is again. like yes it's a reality TV show but it's again like keep that in mind a reality TV show like you there's entities involved so I mean but then people really take it to the next level like there's one thing to like disagree with someone or critique them but Rachel when you were on the reunion or

the women tell all and you guys said that whole segment about like the insane comments and DMs a lot of the contestants we're getting like that that is like really something concerning and something like that should be spoken about more because it's why Yeah, I think what was so important about doing that segment is you hear people, not even on our show, just period, talk about all the hate that we get, but to actually see it is a totally different thing. And it's tough when you're doing it, reading it, and no one else sees it. Like, people are in your DMs and they're hiding or they're in your comments. And so, like, that's why I'm starting to take the pros of just blasting people. Like, it's so much, I can't do everybody.

But it's just like, if you want to be bold enough to go ahead and say that kind of stuff, I'm going to expose you. You're not going to be able to hide in DMs. It's cowardly. And people forget we are real. We're real people. It's one thing to have an opinion, right? Like, okay, you don't like what I say.

Fine. Oh, you didn't approve of what I said. That's totally fine. But don't get to calling me outside of my name and throwing racist terms out. It just takes it to another level. Can I just say, like, yesterday or the day before you putting people on blast who are DMing you and you leaving their usernames in was like truly the absolute best part of my week? my mom to my quarantine.

And you want to know why. And I almost, I don't think you could have done it on the women tell all, but I really feel like they're such a thin line because while what people are saying are so terrible and evil, they are private citizens. So like blasting them on TV is different. And I don't think you could have done it.

But like I really feel like it sends a powerful message. Like this anonymity that exists, that empowers people to say the fucking craziest things that they would literally never say to you in person. It's really dangerous. And so I actually really agree with the outing on your Instagram. Like, I love it. I do it sometimes too.

And it's only when someone is like, they've been following me for years and literally everything, they say fat, too, ugly. Same. Same. If you're consistent, fuck you. Same. Same thing. I want to ask you this.

And this is something that I've encountered, especially recently, like, when people slide into the DMs and it's just so, like, so crazy to read that I'm like, how do people even think this way and, like, type this way? But do you guys ever respond and say, like, why do you feel the need to need to say this to a total stranger? Like, sometimes I'll respond and call them out. And literally, I would say 90% of the time when people respond, their response to me is, oh, my gosh, I didn't think that you would even see that or that you would respond. And I'm so sorry, I was having a bad day. It's like, Bill, it's a complete 180 from the hatred and the terrible things that they'll say.

Because they think, oh, my gosh, like, she's not going to read it. It's that level of protection. Yeah, I've had someone be like, oh, sorry, my sister stole my phone. Same. It's the worst. I used to get that same thing. Now I'm breeding a whole new type of enemy. And the people who are saying stuff to me are doubling down on it.

If I like, like, why did you say that? Or why do you feel that way? Like, let's have an open conversation. I usually try to pick like one or two conversations to do that with. And they're like, no, you know, say like spewing out more hate. I'm like, okay. You know, it is what it is. But you know what?

My sister Jackie has a really good, like, theory for this. Because every time I do respond to someone, no matter like what comes out of it, I never feel really good about it. You know, it's just, I'm like, why did I stoop down to their level? And it's so trivial. It's like what you learned in like middle school. But it really is true. And I'm sure while all of our DMs are flooded with crazy shit,

there's also really nice shit in there. And if you're going to give your attention to two people a day who are negative, you also have to give that attention to two people who are positive because they're more worthy of your time and your energy. And I think for all of our mental health, it would actually really benefit us to engage with people who are normal and not psychotic. Yeah. No, absolutely. I always say if you're going to accept the criticism, you have to accept the praise.

And the criticism is just so much louder. But if you're really measuring it, it's more positive than it is negative. It's just so hard to sometimes ignore those loud negative voices. Okay. And speaking of that, let's ignore them, though, because I feel like we've been giving them these trolls too much attention. So before we let you go, because I really could keep talking to you, but I'll say, you have to have us now because Becca's never been on the morning toast. So you have to have Becca on.

And I'm more than happy to come back. Yes, when she's got her video working. Rachel is like a permanent fill-in slash co-hosts slash whenever we just need someone. We just like, Rachel, are you available? Well, I love it too because I feel like I am in a same place. Like I can say something and people are like, okay, whatever. accept it more than you're like a little too busy for us now like with all of your projects and like just being a star ESPN ABC entertainment like you are everywhere and it's like

Rachel come back when I come to New York I'm coming back I have the best time on the morning toast but before we let you go we want to know what it is it that you're working on and what can we look forward to see you doing in the future well anyone who enjoyed what they heard here today can now watch my comedy special which is a show I filmed the same show that Rachel was at I filmed in New Jersey. So it's available. All the links are on my Instagram, which is at Girl with No Job, but it's available. It's called Discreased Queen.

You can buy it on Apple TV, and you can buy it on Amazon Prime, or you can rent it. You can also stream the comedy album on Spotify. Just head over my Instagram. I'm constantly promoting myself, so you'll find anything you need there. And my podcast, The Morning Toast, which is a weekly, weekday podcast, Monday through Friday. It's also available on YouTube, so we do video and audio. And it's just a fabulous time. We do a lot of Bachelor, a lot of House.

Five's, a lot of celebrity pop culture. We pretty much talk about Rachel Lindsay 24-7, whether or not she is going to replace Tia Mori. There's just lots of speculation. Oh, that was such a nice post, by the way. That was so nice. Everyone thinks that it's you. There's so many good names that are being thrown out there.

No, I truly, I have no idea who it's going to be. But are you moving to L.A.? I am. I already have an apartment there. The timing is suspicious. You see that, right? But I had the apartment before she left the show. I just want to say that.

but I love the real. It would be an amazing opportunity, but we'll see. I don't know. I can see it. We shall see. But, oh, one thing I want to ask you, you're a new aunt. How does that? I have to ask you because so is Becca.

I'm an aunt of two. Becca's pretty much new to this as well. We have to talk to you. We want to give you a second to just gush. What a blessing, you guys. Like, it, I, like, when I heard people talk about their nieces, I'm like, yeah, sure, whatever. But it is special.

And, you know, I think, like, being an aunt is, like, the best. ever because, like, I don't have to, like, wipe asses. Like, I just bounce when things get rough, but, like, I get to enjoy it. I mean, babies are just magnificent. And, like, watching my sister become a mom and, like, breastfeed, it's literally, like, miracles happening in front of my eyes. I can't get over it. Like, literally, I ask you so many questions.

And I'm like, well, what did your nipples do then? Like, I just keep asking questions because I'm marveled. It's amazing. Like, the female body, the female strength is just unbelievably mad, majestic. yeah no perfect word for a shout out to live how old how old is your niece so she's two and a half months now

two and a half months okay so yeah she was early but she's so cute like I just want to you it's so annoying that you have to be like delicate because I just want to fucking squeeze her and like that's what the dog is for I want to smother my little niece in just like so many

kisses to the point where my sister's like I know chill out a little bit but I told my sister the other day. I'm like, your baby is so cute and I'm so obsessed with her that I feel like now I can never have my own child because whatever my baby looks like is not going to look like my current niece, Amy, and I feel like no one's

going to love her as much as we love her. And so it's, but it's such a beautiful thing. So congratulations, welcome to. Thank you. It's what we have been on. It's not. It really is. It's so, and you're cool. Oh, it's so, it's so great. Oh, I'm going to be such a cool aunt. Like giving her cigarettes and alcohol when she's 18. kidding, that was a drama.

Pretty much what we did for our younger siblings. Okay, Claudia, this has been fantastic, just like we knew it would be. Thank you so much for coming on and wish you all the best. You guys, go stream her comedy special, disgrace, queen. So good. Yes. Love you guys. So nice to meet you back up. Big Rache.

I can't wait to see you. To you. Whenever I, like, things are back to normal at some point. Yes. And, you know, the offer is always on the table. If you need a champagne, confetti popper for your future shows, you know who to call. Good to know. Okay.

Becca, how fun was that having Claudia on? She's so funny. She, you know, and she's just like, I want to say spicy in a good way. Yeah. Entertaining, I think, listening to it back, my mom's going to appreciate listening to her because my mom always tells me, I don't know if you get this, but my mom always tells me that I talk way too fast, and then I have to down a little bit.

And so I'm glad we could have a fellow fast talker on to make me fix being a little bit more normal. But yeah, it was so fun. And I really do want to go see her if she goes on tour again. Yeah, no, she, it's just like a good girl. If you're a housewives fan, this is the way they describe Luann's, um, is she calling it a burlesque show?

I'm not sure what she's calling it, but cabaret, hello, key word there. Luann's Cabaret show is what they say about it too. It's like there's a bar, you bring your best girlfriend, you get dressed up, you drink, and you just have the best time. And that's the kind of energy Claudia brings to her show. I took Brian one time, we had a good time, but it was a totally different experience when I went with my girls, you know? That's the type of energy it brings.

But, I mean, if you guys were just, you know, you listen to this podcast, you can see why Claudia is so, successful and has, you know, carved out a niche in this industry and she's great at what she does. So you guys support her, just like we do. Make sure you please, please, I know you don't want to hear us talk about it again. Please go vote for a name. Our poll is live today. I think we've come up with some great non-offensive names and we can't really, we can't wait to see what you guys land on and hopefully this time around one of those options will stick. If not, Beck and I are going to pick and you're just going to have to deal with it. We gave you a chance, and if you don't do anything with it, that's not our fault.

Also, also, special announcement here, that's your happy hour listeners.

Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime

podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate. Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to

Choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials is easier. Complex problem solving takes effort.
