Good morning, Millennials!
Welcome back to the Toast and happy Friday!
Congrats to the grads who graduated the week.
Although, you know, definitely feel like we had a little extra help
given the fact that it was a short week.
But again, beggars, we're not going to be choosers here.
A week is a week no matter how you slice it.
Honestly? So true.
Things we did this week.
Things we did this week. I love that. Happy Friday to you, Jax. Happy Friday to
you, fa-la-la-la-la. Turd. Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Oh, speaking of turd, this is just,
just go with it. Yesterday, Jackie and I recorded a podcast episode for our Patreon. So many people
have been asking us if we're going to try out for Jeopardy! Pop Culture Edition. And we did like a full test trial, hour-long episode,
seeing how much we truly know about pop culture.
Not just our niche of pop culture.
You guys forget, there are corners of the culture we don't browse in.
We don't wade into.
No, Marvel, DC.
So we both tested out our trivia skills and our hosting skills.
And we had to come up with a name for what our team would be.
And there were
some disagreements between Jackie and I and I won't spoil the episode but I thought of one this
morning okay like it was right in front of us okay Jeopardy Lou Jeopardy Lou Jeopardy Lou I love it
I love it I still like Latour De Jeppe but at least we have options maybe the producers will have some thoughts. Like a little too inner circle you know.
Jeopardy Lewis also.
No but at least the word Jeopardy is in the title you know.
Jeopardy.
Jeopardy.
Also it was just a fun episode a lot of pop culture if you like that sort of thing a lot
of Jackson Claude if you like that sort of thing.
If you like that sort of thing.
And the girls were girling so if you're looking for more content today or this weekend, whenever, we've got you.
Let me tell you how lit up I am for today's episode.
One, it's Friday.
So we're just coming into this already with a leg up because we're just in good moods,
you know?
Correct.
Two, last night was the season finale of Summer House, Jackie and I both watched it.
I have so many thoughts.
It's like killing me not to just get into it right now I feel angry no like I was feeling feelings
pits sadness anger so excited to break it all down today and then we also have Queenie and
Weenie of the week which we literally forgot to do last week but last Friday if you remember was
the Craig 20 episode we had so much business to get to of course we forgot Queenie and Weenie
like it just fell off but we're back Queenie and Weenie's not going anywhere. We are back. We are back. I think
Queenie and Weenie this week is really easy. So we'll get there when we get there. Also we need
to give an update because yesterday's episode ended really crazily. We got this dear toaster
submission about the pregnant woman who tested positive for chlamydia and was questioning her husband. We heard back from her that she got retested and she was negative and her husband was
negative and it was you know a fuck-up at the doctor's office.
And so many people had chimed off chimed in in the comments and just like DMing
me being like tell the girl tell the girl. Apparently this happens quite a bit
and in a situation like this that's you know kind of questionable you should always get a second test one things can get mixed up in the
lab and two there are false positives right so all's to say one less thing to worry about
tgft thank god for that yeah so a little bit of happy news to kick off the episode.
That was definitely a relief for me.
And it's going to be a relief for so many people. Going to the weekend, very much having that off our shoulders.
Because that was a burden on all of us.
I think we wanted to wrap our arms around our fellow toaster.
As we always do.
You got big plans for the weekend, Jax?
What are my plans?
I actually have big plans for today.
I'm doing something so fun.
But something so like low-key classic normal
I'm going shopping with friends oh friends is Mary Orton in town Mary Orton's not in town
but I'm going shopping with my friends actually it you are involved in this story so we can center
you thank god because a few months ago my friend
she's a patreon member because she's a good friend she was watching the vlog of you in my closet for
saint bart's which is an amazing vlog on our patreon like join patreon for that and she was
saying that she's like she loves my closet she's so impressed like by how many things i have and
how like i really invest in certain things and i'll have them forever and it's her dream to go
shopping with me so like i can help like curate a closet for her.
And I love like helping people get dressed.
I love shopping.
And it's fun.
Spending other people's money.
Yeah, and it's fun if I'm shopping for me.
It's fun if I'm shopping for someone else.
This is a great way for me to like use my addiction in a positive way.
Flex your muscles.
So we've been meaning to go shopping together for a minute now.
And like today's the day.
And I'm really excited.
Of course, I'll be, you know, scanning, browsing for myself. but I'm really there to help her shop and it's just gonna be like
a fun afternoon inspired by the patreon oh thank you for involving me in the story because you know
how I how it triggers me to hear you have friends and plans without me so that's big of you I
appreciate that and I wish you well on your journey I hope you guys have an amazing time and drink
awesome shooters and just soak up each other's awesomeness but the thing about shopping like it sounds so fun and glamorous horrible and
not to complain but like it's so hard by the end of a shopping excursion like it is cardio my aura
ring I don't have to plan a workout today like or I'm going shopping when you and I were talking
earlier in the week how we enjoy so many of the modern conveniences. Conveniences but we also you know you're slow
living doing some things from the old school. One thing I'll never give up is like the majority of
my shopping for anything whether it's home, clothing, furniture being done online. Like that
is a modern convenience. I honestly take for granted. So I go back and forth and I'm in this
vicious cycle where of course I order online. I'm a modern woman but then I order things and they're
either the wrong size or the wrong fit,
or I'm just like between styles, I don't know what I want.
I wanna go and see things, right?
And I also-
Don't make perfect the enemy of the good, Jackie.
I don't like ordering online
because I do not like returning
and something has to be legit unwearable for me,
for me to return it.
And then even when I decide to return it,
like it's gonna sit in my foyer for three weeks
before I make the moves and organize the pickup
or take it to UPS.
So I'm not the best with that.
And then it makes me want to go shopping
and see what's out there.
So then I do that.
And then I try something on, it's the wrong size,
but they don't have one size smaller.
And I'm like, why wouldn't I just shop online
where they have all the sizes?
Another problem.
It's a vicious cycle.
There's problems with both.
A problem I'm experiencing
recently because I think you and I was it me and you or me and my friend Margo we've been talking
about how like literally I leave the house without a wallet like all I have is my phone these days
because what else do you need and like I don't need to get robbed it's just my phone and buying
things that like and when I go to Zara or um okay pretty much only Zara I always use Apple Pay and
I don't try on I'm like okay it's down
the street I'll just try it on at home and figure it out later and most of my returns are done by
Ben because he's always like going places I'm like okay you're going to golf do my returns first
and when you pay with Apple Pay you can't use the credit card like the physical credit card so
giving Ben my credit card I need to give him my phone oh which I obviously wouldn't do so there's
issues with both that so that doesn't work so just
if you're shopping and planning on making returns that you're actually you know hoping your husband
will do don't use apple pay ladies make learn learn from my mistakes good to know but that's
also why I'm dressed athletically today because like I am doing the hard work of shopping I need
sneakers I need wick moisture wicking pants moisture wicking pants. Moisture wicking pants for sure.
I didn't wear a sports bra because I want to try stuff on and I need to know how it's going to look.
So anyways, all's to say I have a just a fun afternoon planned. I am also having a fun afternoon.
I have been dying to get a facial from this place like everyone goes to. It's like so hard to get
into. I got one. Today's the day.
So excited.
Derma play and hydrafacial.
Like the whole thing.
Me.
And then I'm being such an amazing wife this weekend.
Not only am I picking Ben up at the airport today.
I'm also golfing with him tomorrow.
Which like I'm low key excited about.
I just want to get tanned and maybe have a cocktail.
So I'm just kind of being like good wife energy this weekend.
That's the theme.
That's really sweet.
La.

Okay, our first story.
The story's our light celebrity fair today, everyone,
so that, you know, just know that.
Natalie Portman hangs out with Paul Mezcal during a London outing.
The two were spotted smoking cigarettes and hanging outside of a London bar
on May 28th, more than two months after she finalized her divorce,
from her husband, Benjamin Millipied.
So on its face, you know, it could be a friendly sig break
between the two smokers on set.
Yeah, and I actually feel like the amount of cigarette smokers
is dwindling in the world due to, you know,
more information about cigarettes and, of course, electric vapes.
And so I think perhaps this is
just like a person you're smoking with by default honestly but do you think that's how a great
romance could start yes and to be honest and this is cutting off the heels of yesterday's dear
toasters like smoking is so personal and there's so many things in a relationship that smoking can
affect like your breath primarily especially if you're like early dating and a fellow smoker like
wouldn't be bothered by yellow tar in your teeth and wouldn't be bothered by your hair smelling
like cigarettes or your breath being kind of dry and funky so I think you know finding in all these
books that we read it's like when he smells of cigarettes and pine it's like a good thing
well okay I think in other in books when they are describing scent um they're talking about
like fragrances because fragrances use tobacco like but I don't. They're talking about like fragrances because fragrances use tobacco.
Like, but I don't think they're talking
about like dirty cigarette breath.
I think they're talking about like nodes of tobacco
in like an aftershave.
Maybe, it depends what kind of books you're reading.
Like if you're going light,
yeah, Colleen Hoover's not glorifying cigarette smoking,
but like some of the, like the more literary
and artists and writers, they love cigarettes.
They do, they do. It's kind of kind of it gets what gets the creative gears moving yeah it's so funny because you would think that they would be
all like no but they're kind of holding up the industry the tobacco industry and I'm so glad
we're talking about this because something I've recently noticed and I will never forget that
scene in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when they took a trip to Dubai and Lisa got into a
fight with so many of the women and like her and Ken leave and we see Lisa it was clearly like a
moment that she didn't think was going to be filmed and she's smoking cigarettes and that was
the first time I knew that she smoked cigarettes and it was this eye-opening moment for me where
I'm like some housewives they're like the only people who smoke cigarettes these days are like
50 years old like I was just sort of shocked by that and now I've noticed I feel as though
Countess Luanne has gotten very comfortable sharing I know that she smokes cigarettes like if you're paying
a close enough attention it's all over her social media these days I was thinking that yesterday
okay like why does it have to be some big secret that's what I'm saying I feel like it's not anymore
yeah well anyways do you think there's anything romantic between these two or just like people
dreaming and too many people having watched the idea of you?
Yeah.
The idea of you is definitely sort of fogging everyone's windshield.
No, I don't think there's anything going on between them.
But like if this wasn't like a couple announcement, like I would I could see it in two seconds.
Yeah, right.
But but they're confirmed working on a project together yeah uh they were hanging out outside of a London bar
hmm I guess they weren't like filming inside the bar they were out at a bar oh well that changes
things because if it was just a smoke break from work this is a big nothing burger but again you
could just be hanging out with your coworkers because you're all in London
together, you know?
Yeah.
They were spotted on a friendly hangout at a cocktail bar in London during the outing.
The pair stood outside the speakeasy style lounge chatting and laughing as they smoked
cigarettes.
They appear together for Variety's Actors on Actors series.
Right.
So it could be friendly.
It could be more.
It actually doesn't seem like a work thing.
I need to just look one more time at these photos.
Like what is the vibe, you know?
It could be anything.
Do they look sexy?
No, it's not sexy, but it could be like cheeky.
It could be just like they're positive vibes.
There's laughter.
There's chatting.
I'm literally wearing What Paul Mezcal
Is wearing in that photo
I'm wearing it today
Like a belt
Trousers
And a white shirt
Ooh
But the way his pants end
I don't think it's a date
Ooh
I don't think it's a date
No
No
Let me say something about this
I'm so torn
Paul Mezcal
In that picture
Where you see the way
His pants end from the side
Yeah yeah yeah
He looks like Ben Platt
Yeah no he's He's literally Seriously In that picture where you see the way his pants in from the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He looks like Ben Platt.
You know, he's.
He's literally.
Seriously, some of the most fugly pants I've seen, like, in my life.
Like, they're so unflattering.
And, like, a woman could just never.
That's, like, a really bad picture of the pants.
Because when they're walking out of the bar, the pants look fine and normal.
Yeah.
But if I were interested, if I were her and, like, they were courting and I saw this picture of him from the side,
like, ick.
These pants are the definition of ick.
Like, this is where
the word ick was created.
Icky Paul's pants.
Icky, icky.
Aside from the 14-year age gap,
which again doesn't bother me
because he's 28
and can make his own decisions.
And his frontal lobe
is fully developed.
I think there's a lot
of like fanfare
around who Paul Mezcal dates loves you know engages in intercourse with like he's a very
sort sort of sought after person in that sense and he was engaged to um Phoebe Bridgers and like
everyone was obsessed and then I think she like kind of cheated on him with uh that guy inside Netflix what's his name Bo? Bo Burnham yeah um
and now they're not together anymore and I think a lot of people are still holding a candle for him
and Daisy Edgar Jones even though there's like literally nothing there they just work together
a lot and had great chemistry in that Hulu show um so like is this it like we've just kind of
been waiting I don't think this is it but I'm saying like if this is it, that makes sense to me.
And I endorse these two.
I never thought of Natalie Portman as a smoker.
But she would be.
Yeah.
And she's Israeli, right?
Oh, that's so true.
Israelis love a cigarette.
Yeah.
It's like, what's lung cancer?
There could be a bomb.
Right.
Enjoy your life.
Have a nice day.
Yeah.
Living in a war zone definitely puts life in perspective.
Far shah. Far your life. Have a nice day. Living in a war zone definitely puts life in perspective. Far shire.
Far shire.
Also, our next story is keeping in with this theme of older women and younger men on screen and off screen.
Because did you see the trailer that dropped for this new Netflix movie called A Family Affair with Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Joey King?
I did.
We need to talk about it.
Yes.
So Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron are an unexpected
couple in a family affair, which is a new movie coming to Netflix. So Joey King plays Nicole
Kidman's daughter. And she also is the assistant to this Hollywood star, Zac Efron. And Zac Efron
and her mom start hooking up, but like in a real way, like they're falling in love. And it's like
the weirdest concept for a movie because it's like seems really cringe but these are all serious actors who signed on to this movie so it
makes you think like it's a good one and it really seems to be a love story between Nicole Kidman and
Zac Efron which wasn't on my bingo card but now it is I was definitely shocked to see Nicole Kidman
in there like you know a silly Netflix movie is Joey King is no stranger to that that's how she
built her career I think we all know that we all remember where we were when we saw The Kissing Booth Zac Efron's definitely in
this like weird spiral time in his career I don't really understand like what's going on so him
being cast in this again like not shocking Nicole Kidman is someone who's very selective with her
roles she's not you know she doesn't need to take girls I think she takes them on because she
believes in them so I think she's giving this movie a sense of credibility that I wasn't expecting I think all
three of them are but do you think that maybe she like saw Zac Efron was going to be in the movie
and she was like okay I'll do it I'll kiss Zac Efron no that's like a fun way to just
have a little fun this is another duo that I didn't have on my mood board and wish list for
celeb couples but I'm loving I love Nicole Kidman, duh.
I love Zac Efron so much.
I think people know that about me,
but just in case you don't, like,
that's a fun fact about me.
I love him, I think he's like,
when people say celeb crush, like he still comes to mind.
Current Zac Efron or like Troy Bolton?
All of them.
I like Zac Efron in all forms.
Yeah, but if you had to marry like Zac Efron from one movie,
which character would it be?
For me, it's has always and will always be.
Here's great.
Of course.
It's not going to be Troy Bolton.
He's like 14.
No, but greatest show.
Yeah.
Greatest show.
Even though his character like wasn't my favorite character
and I don't think he got the greatest songs.
Oh, I don't disagree.
Except the very end where, you know,
they kind of passed the torch from Hugh Jackman.
From now on.
But like the other side is like definitely a skip on the album for me.
And Rewrite the Stars like doesn't do for me what it does for other people.
I completely agree.
So what I think of Zac Efron, that's like not,
that's my favorite movie, Greatest Showman, and he's in it.
But like that's not even what I love him so much from.
No, and I kind of could see these two having good chemistry
because Zac Efron doesn't not remind me of Keith Urban, you know?
Yeah.
Short King.
Yeah, I really watched this trailer.
I was like, oh my God, I can't believe this is something that's happening.
And I'll be watching.
And I want to say there's definitely a renaissance happening in the culture
with Joey King.
She went to Cannes.
I don't know if you saw her look.
She looked so sick. I and she did and she was kind of and it reminded me a little bit of Anne Hathaway like
using fashion to make some sort of comeback when it comes to like the general public because there
was like a deep hatred of Joey King just sort of like internet like we hate her for no reason she's
a very very nice girl she didn't do anything wrong she's a talented actress um and so I think her
wedding was really good for her like ability when it a talented actress um and so I think her wedding was really
good for her like ability when it comes to like you know her Q score her wedding was so high
fashion and so rich and just so randomly like gorgeous and then her looks in Cannes I'm loving
the Joey King renaissance and she's in that show it's a holocaust show that we were the lucky ones
um and it's gotten a lot of really positive reviews, and that's a serious role. Perhaps there'll be some awards in her future.
She got nominated for an Emmy for The Act,
where she plays GRB.
Right.
And don't forget Ramona and Beezus.
Who could?
Who would?
And certainly, I could never forget The Kissing Booth.
Like, seriously, I am who I am.
I know, but you love to slam The Kissing Booth.
I do.
It has its problems.
But it introduced us to Jacob Elordi.
And it introduced me to that like brand of why.
It introduced the world actually.
It was the first sort of like young adult cult classic that Netflix released.
And then they did so many.
It invented.
Like we wouldn't have Noah Centineo if we didn't have the kissing booth.
It wasn't even in that movie.
You know.
Don't ask Noah Centineo.
Don't ask.
It's a great question. I like him him too like he's a Zac Efron yeah I don't know what happened to him and
like what went wrong in his like career slash like management because definitely was a fumble like he
was sort of on his way to being like the biggest heartthrob of his generation yeah Now when I think about him I'm like
Does he even exist like
Or am I just thinking of like Jacob Elordi and like Bryce Hall
Excuse me
Like Noah Centineo
He reminds me of who was the guy that was dating
Dixie
Noah Beck great call
Noah Centineo is Noah Beck now
Yeah no by the way
I think that's what happened to him he changed his name
Yeah and Noah Beck like should star in one think that's what happened to him. He changed his name. Yeah.
Yeah.
And Noah Beck like should star in one of those Netflix YA movies like as an acting debut.
Claudia, I think that's where he went to become Noah Beck.
Oh, you think he got like a face transplant?
I think he just like changed his last name.
Like maybe his mom got remarried.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're the same for sure.
Okay. This movie looks good.
Yeah. And it comes out June 28th. So. This movie looks good. Yeah.
And it comes out June 28th.
So hopefully I'm still interested by then.
Right.
Claudia, that's good for our family watching.
Actually, it might be like a little.

It's definitely not.
Okay.
But I'm writing it down so that I don't forget.
Things you want to watch.
Yeah.
Okay.
Things I want to watch coming up because they keep announcing things and I just forget.

Okay and then this is called
A family affair

You're right a list is exactly
What we needed at a moment like this
This is always what we need
So true
Our next story
Speaking of relationships
A no age gap couple Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bon Jovi are married.
So sweet.
So John Bon Jovi shared the details that his son married Millie Bobby Brown.
And that's exciting.
He was asked about his son getting married during an interview on BBC's The One Show.
He said the newlyweds are doing great.
They're absolutely fantastic.
It was a very small family wedding.
The bride looked gorgeous.
And Jake is as happy as can be.
Yeah, it's true.
No, so sweet.
So low key.
I think these two are actually extremely well matched in so many different ways.
Like, obviously, she's a star.
And maybe you hadn't heard of this particular son.
But like, I think it's actually a perfect match.
I love it.
Yeah.
How cute.
And they didn't confirm that they got married or anything.
It's all very low key.
Which always gives a bit more gravitas to a situation.
You know.
Yes.
They have been wearing rings.
They're not doing it for the lights.
For the people.
They're doing it for the love.
Yeah.
No.
It's nice.
She's like really grown up.
And she's literally married.
So feel old yet?
I know.
How old is she?
I'm trying to.
She's still really young to have gotten married.
But she's like, you know, an adult.
And I think we all met her with her nose bleeding when she was what?
Like 11 or 12?
She was legit.
I think her name was Eleven.
I think she was Eleven.
Now I think she's like 20 or 21.
She's 20.
So crazy.
Can't even drink at your own wedding.
Well, actually, they probably got married abroad.
She's British.
Yeah.
So, cheers.
Cheers, mazel.
Congrats, grads.
Congrats to the grads.
Are you ready for our next story?
What number?
Number four.
You're ready.
Is number five Summer House Reunion? No. Then no,. You're ready. Is number five Summer House reunion?
No.
Then no, I'm not ready.
Okay.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Then I am ready.
Number four, a bit of Kardashians news that's come out from this episode
that's making waves is that Kylie has addressed her Jordan Woods friendship
with Khloe on the Kardashians.
Sorry.
This is such a divisive issue.
She spoke to Khloe about her friendship with Jordan.
Right.
That's more clear.
Kylie talked about the state of her relationship with her former best friend
after she was involved with Tristan Thompson.
So on Thursday's episode of the Kardashians on Hulu,
Kylie and Khloe talk about their status with Jordan four years after the scandal.
During the conversation, Kylie spoke to her older sister
about the time she spent with her BFF during Paris Fashion Week in January.
Former BFF sorry. She said I saw Jordan again in Paris. It was fun. I think we have a lot more
healthy distance in the relationship. Now it's like we talk once a month. She also said that
she's happy that she felt the chatter had faded. She said I think what I do love now is that the
narrative about us online is over. Like when we were seen leaving that restaurant it was the story for the day or two days whatever and now it's over
people know that we're cool no one's talking about it anymore I mean personally I'm so over this but
I imagine for them like it's not it's literally like their Roman Empire Jordan like her entire
life changed in a day Chloe's man betrayed her Kylie lost a best friend like I understand why
they're like like still talking about it from an energy like I I really don't care anymore but it really is is and was like
such a divisive issue it was I also feel like it's exactly like Kylie said like once we knew
that they were speaking in friends and they had gone to dinner that sort of like dispelled
everything and then so if they're seen here or there they make a tiktok it's like well great
they're friends yeah and that was one of the sadder outcomes from the situation but one of them
you know that happens and I'm glad that it can get back on good footing and also what Kylie was
saying which is that I feel like people don't give Khloe credit for but that Khloe has always
been steadfast about is like be friends with Jordan like do what's best for you like I don't
want this to impact your life negatively like if you want to be friends with Jordan like that I love that for you do what makes you happy and I think
she's always said that and always really meant it and I don't think she gets credit for that she
kind of gets the opposite where it seems like she was like dragging Jordan they get a lot of flack
for how they handle that because like Jordan was sort of like on this island alone getting dragged
through the mud and she was a guilty party but so was
Tristan and like Tristan never really got that sort of treatment um which is a fair argument to
make but I don't think it was the girls is doing like that one video that Kim had posted on
Snapchat like Kylie got mad at and they deleted like I think that it was just like a byproduct
of the situation and the culture and like you know obviously everyone's gonna like clown on
the girl leaving Jordan alone I feel like Tristan got like people would go to his games and boo.
Like, yeah, but like that was after like so many things.
It wasn't just the Jordan thing.
I feel like Tristan like perpetually lives in the doghouse.
Like maybe now he's coming out, but like still not.
He's Tristan third trimester Thompson.
Like, yeah, it's really hard for him.
But that's where he was before.
So like he just stayed there
yeah yeah yeah and anyways I'm glad that they're moving forward positively but I really do think
Chloe is so graceful and she like she also she never really like lashed out negatively publicly
like she had that screaming phone call in yeah but like that's in her home to me the craziest thing that came out of this episode
wasn't this it was the conversation that I think it was between Simon and Courtney where Courtney
was talking about that phone call she had last year with Kim where they were like really in a
heated argument and Courtney had no idea until afterwards that it was being filmed and when she
found out she asked that it not be put in and of course it ended up in because it was like
entertaining or whatever I thought that was extremely telling yeah me too one if you're like not enough people
are talking about that I've seen headlines about it and I feel like if you're on a phone call and
like you should know that you're being of course honestly you know who's probably eating that up
Taylor tailored yeah like Kim's favorite thing recording phone calls. Totally. One I feel like Kourtney handles herself so well in that conversation and now knowing
that was not her you know acting any sort of way for the cameras.
I was exactly and now you look like Kim knew she was being filmed and that's what she said.
Kourtney didn't know she was being filmed and that's how she said slash acted.
I just feel like it's very interesting.
Yeah and I understand like putting it on the show for entertainment value but if they didn't put it on like we would never have known about it so it's
not like we're missing something that we don't know about I also just think that the or I thought
that the girls were at a point and they're all executive producers of the show they were at a
point where like if there was something one of them didn't want in the show they don't have to
bleed out for the show anymore it's not like they're so desperate like it's not that type of
show I think it's Courtney saying I don't want it on and Kim saying I do not like a
hulu yeah like you have to no no for sure that's what I'm saying like they have final say on what
goes in and what goes out so the fact that Kim is still throwing things in we're like there was a
time when yeah we had to just be totally vulnerable honest through all this shit because we were
trying to you know be that but the show hasn't been that for a while the girls haven't needed to act like that for a while so I thought it was very like out of
character just not what I had thought that Kim would be doing I actually think the show
not to say it was right to put it in but I think the show needs stuff like that otherwise of course
commercial for Skims and Good American and Kylie Cosmetics every episode is an infomercial uh
safely again I started when I went to watch the first episode of this
season i'm watching for like 10 minutes and i'm like i feel like i've seen this before maybe i
saw it on kim's story or something and i realized i was in last season oh and it's like chris is in
her kitchen like cleaning was safely and chris is like want me to do that for you like everything
is an ad so you just have to which is fine but you have to balance it. Balance. With like good organic content.
So they kind of do still need to be doing things like that
or else the show is just like a commercial.
Yeah.
So yeah, all's to say.
All's to say.
And our fifth and final story.
Are you ready for it?
I don't have to be.
Like we still have Summer House and Queenie and Weenie.
I feel the same.
A lot of relationship news today but a couple that I always forget are together just got married and I'm reminded of how cute they are Yellowstone co-stars Harrison and Ryan
Bingham are married so they are both on Yellowstone they play a couple on Yellowstone and now they are
married and we had reported that they were engaged and together
but I forgot again but the wedding was literally gorgeous like Yellowstone come to life yeah
what they're like walking the walk yeah they live that life I think he's like a real cowboy
yeah and I wonder if them get their characters getting together on the show was because they're
together in real like I wonder if the story would
have gone that way because at first she was with the old guy and I liked them me too and I thought
it was actually a little weird that she wound up going for the guitar man yeah I don't think that
they did that just because they were dating in real life I feel like that happens all the time
where people on a show are dating but on the show they're dating like another castmate I don't think
it's yes yes but it's like it wouldn't be germane it's not important to the storyline who she's
dating and it's like if her man's is on it's not important to the storyline who she's dating.
And it's like, if her man is on set, she's going to watch, he's going to watch her kiss this old guy all day.
That's literally the life, Jackie.
We're always talking about it.
It's so weird.
I know, but I just feel like in this set, it doesn't have to be that way.
And it wasn't.
Yeah, yeah.
They're so cute.
Like, the wedding was really gorgeous.
Like, very chic elegance, but also rustic.
And I mean,
we just get,
we get nothing from this cast,
like in terms of off air,
anything.
And they've been off air for so long that we're just like so desperate at
this point.
I am.
And I think I said this last time we brought up Kevin Costner or whatever,
like I am getting over it.
I can feel myself caring less and less about these people except for Rip obviously um and that's not good
for anyone yeah well the wedding was beautiful I hope this brings the cast together nothing like
a good love story she looked amazing their wedding was in vogue and do we know who was there from the
cast I am not seeing anything but I feel like that might come out soon, like maybe some videos and stuff.
I hope there were some cast members there.
I just feel like Kevin Costner definitely wasn't there.
Perhaps not, but maybe.
He doesn't seem like that type of co-worker.
Like we need some of the bunkhouse guys.
Of course.
So cute.
So cute, so happy for them.
They both look so different in real life than they do.
That's the thing about Yellowstone.
It's a show where everybody's really in costume that people look so different like I wouldn't I wouldn't have recognized the girl like on the street from
Yellowstone. She looks so gorgeous I love her I love her look. Me too. So some happy couple news
before we get into the dissolution of Carl and Lindsay.
I'm so excited to get into TV recap and our queenie and weenie of the week,
which are both brought to you by GNC.
So GLP-1 medications are taking the world by storm,
helping many people like myself transform their lives through weight loss.
But there are side effects and they can be an obstacle for success. And that's why GNC is here with support for the journey during, before,
after anything you could possibly need getting into the GLP-1 world. GNC is here with support for the journey during, before, after anything
you could possibly need getting into the GLP-1 world. GNC is the place to go. For me, I leaned
on GNC so much during my time on those medications because I needed supplements, specifically like a
fiber supplement. So I shopped a lot at GNC looking for supplements. And then after I got off,
I went to GNC looking for protein bars, shakes, things to help me stave off hunger, things to help me keep on track, which is fabulous. And another common
side effect of GLP-1 is low energy. They call it like the fatigued. And it can be kind of like hard
to tell. You're like, why do I feel weird, different? And you realize you're just experiencing
this overall fatigue. And one thing you can do to fight that is make sure you're getting enough
protein because your body counts on micronutrients like protein to fuel your body and give it the
energy it needs to function properly. And shopping at GNC have so many options for protein bars,
shakes, snacks. I happen to love the GNC brand, which is called Total Lean. They make bars,
they make shakes that come in great flavors like cookies and cream. And having those throughout the
day are really, really going to help you. So if you want to find the high quality energy support that you need at GNC,
plus get 25% off hunger satisfying snacks from GNC Total Lean,
you can do that at GNC.com slash toast using code TOAST25.
That's T-O-A-S-T-2-5 at GNC.com slash toast.

Perfect timing.
Skims is the place for anything, for bras, for
shapewear, for t-shirts, underwear, and of course their t-shirts. If you're in your fitness era like
I am, you might want t-shirts that will snatch your waist. If you want to go for the comfortable look,
if you get like hot really easily, I find that their shirts are like really fabulous
for like sort of temperature regulating. I don't find that I get like a lot of sweat marks in them, which I really like. So the boyfriend
t-shirt, the cotton jersey long sleeve shirt are some of their best sellers. We have loved and known
skims for many years, specifically their bras, underwear, shapewear. I love that it's made for
real women and their t-shirts are no different. The materials are really, really flattering.
The different colors are perfect for any skin tone and they're super size inclusive. They go from sizes extra, extra small up to 4X. So you can shop the Skims
t-shirt shop at Skims.com. That's S-K-I-M-S.com. And again, they are available in tons of different
colors, tons of different styles and sizes, extra, extra small up to 4X. So if you haven't yet,
be sure to let them know that the toast sent you. After you place your order, select podcast in the survey and select our show in the drop down menu that follows. Yeah,

this year for me, this like season is about, I'm literally doing it today. Like small shirts,
big pants or big shorts and the snatching shirts from Skims are perfect for that look so head to skims.com to shop the t-shirt shop thank you la okay what first summer house okay
that last scene did not disappoint I find a lot of the times with Bravo like every season we like
know about this big moment and we're like waiting for it and when it comes it's a little bit
anticlimactic this one was like better than I ever imagined.
It was so layered.
And I found myself like re-watching parts.
And Carl and Lindsay are no stranger to like low blows.
But I found that Carl said some of the craziest shit to Lindsay.
Like when he literally had the absolute audacity on camera to say,
I feel like you want me to relapse so that you can control me.
What a disgusting thing to think of your partner and that's obviously not true so you think that like why are you with this
person like why have you been with this person right and what was crazy about this is like it
didn't feel their relationship like didn't feel long in the tooth and not like this conversation
was like overdue and calling it overdue like I felt and I feel like this might be where my take
is like a little unpopular but I felt like it was premature and I know everyone and especially the girls at the end
were like he did you a favor you guys shouldn't be together they've been fighting all summer and
at the end of the day that is true because the fact that Carl would just pull the plug before
doing the hard work means that like he's not ready for this it would have gotten worse he but the
thing is like they were
fighting all summer because he was picking fights all summer because I think he wanted to back out
because I think he's not a whole man and he's not a whole person and he like got in over his head
and isn't ready for the things that he said he was ready for. Isn't ready for like a marriage
and fatherhood. Isn't ready for a career. Isn't ready to make hard choices isn't ready to do hard work and so that's why he's not the man for Lindsay but like if he decided to be ready
and do that work like I think that they could have made it work and I feel like that's what
Lindsay says too like yes this would have been hard work and they've been fighting all summer
about his job situation but like if he got to work get a a job. Yeah. If he got a job, then like that is out of the equation.
And then what are they fighting about?
So I kind of agreed with Lindsay where it's like there's 15 things we can do before we
decide not to have this wedding.
Yes, their relationship looked miserable all summer because they were fighting all summer
because he kept wanting to fight all summer because he was wanting to pull out because
he is like a scared little boy
and he made this a self-fulfilling prophecy whereas like last summer they were so in love
and what I think is germane to what I'm saying is the fact that they've known each other for
eight years and it's like right even if you're having a hard time in the romantic department
if you are friends that is the best foundation for a marriage and a family and like even when
things are getting like in the bedroom,
if they're having issues, like, but we're friends and we get along.
And like, let's go back to that for a second.
And I feel like they had so many of the tools.
What they didn't have was a whole Carl.
And that's why it doesn't work.
But Lindsay wasn't wrong for wanting to make it work.
And like seeing what they do have and being like, I can work with this.
The thing is, is that I so understood Lindsay's frustration because these aren't 25 year olds Lindsay is what
36 or whatever exactly how old she is because it's also important to this conversation Lindsay is is
who she is these aren't young people who are you know gonna grow together and become who they are
she is who she is you knew who she was
when you literally decided to start dating her after knowing her for seven years to then pitch
a fight about the way she is like she's obviously like this sort of tough love bitch she's not this
like soft I need a sensitive hug you that that would seriously be like Ben saying that to me I
so resonated with Lindsay I'm the same way like I'm very tough like hard truths that's the best way to learn like solution oriented oriented and so for him to just
like show up one day and be like I don't like who you are at your core to me that was obviously not
how he felt that was him trying to get out of the relationship and he's been trying to do that from
the very beginning and you could see at the end when he's talking to producers like well she's
gonna be the victim and I'm gonna be the villain you just broke up with your fiance like a life-altering moment
and you're sitting here thinking about how it's gonna come off on camera maybe that's a thought
you could have the next day but still in the apartment you're thinking that and I think it's
so fucked up when you think about the plans he had to make to have this conversation on camera
and film with Kyle he knew the fact that Kyle knew that this relationship was ending before
Lindsay did is so fucked up and seriously like the blind leading the blind like production too by the way
she's 37 so not only like she is who she is she has been for a while met her when she's about 30
when she is who she is it's not like in that time she's ever been anyone else and then she grew into
someone different like that and the thing is when they started dating, like Carl had obviously went this,
like went through this recent transition of,
you know,
losing his brother,
getting sober,
you know,
his identity with lover boy.
Like he was obviously in this like transitional period.
And that's where like a woman like can help you and make you.
And that's what could have happened.
But I think Carl is so toxically like,
I need to do this on my own.
Like having the idea of like Lindsay who has
success as a female business owner as an entrepreneur as an influencer having her help
him was like so not okay with him and he's like he showed himself so much in that conversation
when he went through the list of the ideas that Lindsay has shot down I did not hear one idea
that wasn't fucking stupid right and it's cig Acting? You want support and you want a yes man.
But what if like all of your ideas are seriously the worst ideas ever?
Like even if you could argue like maybe she should be more supportive.
But like what if your husband just has all bad ideas?
You're supposed to say yes to that?
No, no.
Seriously.
Like I don't think anyone would have said like Lindsay should have been more supportive saying it.
When he was listing off those ideas, cig sober acting sports bar thank you like no I think a good wife like
tells you and I'm sure like that's hard but life like when you're going through a transitional
period like that it's hard to have someone on your side who really is supporting you but it's not
going to tell you just what you want to hear is so valuable and the fact that Carl took it as like an offensive and not oh my god thank god I didn't start
acting seriously acting he was so like acting that you said I can't be an actor you said
sober bar is bad correct correct correct Jackie the scream I scrubbed when he said actor no I'm
I'm not okay also yes she was giving him like I don't even want to say tough love because
she wasn't tough and I feel like the way that she communicated with him and the asking of questions
just to like understand situations because this is going to be my husband and the father of my
children like she was so patient with him so handling him with kid gloves like what do you
want more than that like I'm gonna give you're gonna say the worst idea ever and you're gonna
get a hug and a pat on the back and what to go off and do it like
this isn't fairyland and so I'm so impressed by how patient she was with him when she didn't even
need to be and then his complaint is that she's not soft enough I'm like this girl is giving you
runway no and the way he kept saying words like soft and sensitive like really trying to make her out to be
this like evil monster bothered me so much. Like why does she have to be soft? You're being an
idiot. Right and also if you want someone to be soft in the relationship it's like a yin and yang.
So like she would be like the soft and sensitive one and so then what he would be like the strong
and tough one. But like he's not that. He's soft and he's. And so then what? He would be the strong and tough one.
But he's not that.
He's soft and he's sensitive.
And so if you have two people like that, it's just a puddle of mush.
You need to balance each other out.
If he really wanted a softie, what?
They would just hug all day and have bad ideas?
No.
Then you'll go nowhere.
The hug in the kitchen.
Squeeze me harder.
Oh my god.
It was so clear in that moment god like he's he tried it was so clear like in that moment that
everything he's been doing has really been to position himself as like I'm this battered man
and Lindsay's the villain and like look she won't even hug me and he thank god he didn't go into
acting because he sucks at it everyone is seeing through his intentions all season long like I
don't I didn't see I was reading the tweets. People were being so fucking funny on social media. People were being so funny saying things. And
like, really nobody is buying, even people who don't like Lindsay, nobody is buying what he's
selling. And I'm so glad because I think that, and I think a criticism so far has been like,
how could Lindsay truly have been blindsided if they were fighting all summer long? And like,
yeah, you could say that, but if you really watch, like, you're right. Like like she was never going to give up breaking up was never an option like yeah we could have the
worst of fights but I'm in this for the long haul and like we are going to get married and we will
fight for each other we'll fight each other but we are end game right and like she's 37 years old
right she wants to have children this is her best friend like this is not all bad we only see the
bad because we see the fights but in hindsight he
was picking fights with her all summer to activate her so that she would have an explosive reaction
that he could say I can't be with you but she never gave him that because she is working on
herself and she's trying to be a good partner and they're in couples therapy and she's learning how
to communicate and so when he didn't get what he wanted that weekend then the next weekend we're
gonna do it again and the next weekend I'm talking to Kyle.
And the next weekend, what about my cigars?
And like, she never once walked into his trap.
And so he had to be the one to pull the plug based on crumbs, nothing.
And we're seeing that.
My least favorite part of the episode though,
was like Danielle feeling like she had been right all along.
I think like no matter what happened between Carl and Lindsay,
like Danielle's behavior last season was so seriously that of an unwell person. I don't think her her whole concern the whole time was that they were moving too fast. I don't think that they ended up not getting married
because they moved too fast. It's because Carl doesn't know who the fuck he is and Lindsay does
and that threatens him. Like seriously Danielle couldn't have been more wrong about everything.
Like and them breaking up does not in any way make her behavior last season any less abhorrent and psychopathic right and when two people who are in their late 30s maybe Carl's
even 40 who have been best friend for eight years fall in love and want to get engaged a year later
that's not too fast for me not at all so I don't think the the swiftness was the issue I think the
issue is with Carl as a person. At his core.
He's like a lost person and has absolutely nothing to do with his sobriety.
I actually think that that is one of the best things about him.
It's something that he's actually done.
Right now it's like an accomplishment.
And so I think it has nothing to do with that.
And then he always likes to throw her drink in her face.
Oh, well, she could just go down and drink and have a good time at the rest of the party this is the
most isolated I've ever been by the way he just like went and took a piss isolated he's ever been
and by the way it's not about she's downing and drinking and that's why she's able to have fun
it's called compartmentalizing and that's what grown people do no it's true and I actually I
think that um when when I was watching them have two completely separate reactions after their fight.
Like he shut down and went inside and isolated himself.
And she was able.
And I don't think it has anything to do with liquor.
Because something I really pride myself on.
Is like when me and Ben are arguing.
And I have to go somewhere.
I'm going to have the best time.
And we'll handle it when I get home.
Ben seriously.
He can't.
He cannot compartmentalize.
And it's something that we're different in.
And it has nothing to do with drinking.
Nothing to do with drinking.
If anything sometimes drinking can make you like wallow in your feelings worse right it can make things worse it could also
just like then make you more emotional and it just adds another layer so I just think like him
throwing that it's just like such a cheap shot and it didn't land for me I think Lindsay's drinking
is not an issue not at all I think maybe in the past you could have argued that. I never saw those
seasons but these days no. No and and back then I think like it was seriously part of like being a
reality star that's so toxic is like you feel the need to drink to do your job and I think she fell
into that trope for a while and I never thought she had a drinking problem. I thought she was just
a bad drunk. Yeah. Now another part that everyone's talking about is that scene afterwards where they all meet up
at Danielle's and like Amanda is feeling sort of like defensive of Carl and sort of admiring him
for getting out of this relationship and I think people were speculating online that maybe she saw
you know a little bit of herself in Carl and you know somebody getting out of a relationship no
matter how difficult and engaged married like it's not just a regular breakup perhaps that was something she thought
to be inspiring but people might have been looking too much into that no I thought there was two
things like one is just like a friend of Kyle's she was saying like Carl did the right thing he
was like the right one in this situation for doing that because they needed to pull the plug on their
relationship and in that argument like I disagree with her and ultimately Carl and Lindsay shouldn't
be together because of Carl but like if Carl wanted to become a better man then they could
be together but he no and Lindsay could help him but he's unwilling to do that and he wants to
blame everyone around him and so he's taking everything out on Lindsay and she doesn't deserve
that which is why they shouldn't be together but like if Carl woke up one day and said I'm gonna
act right they could be together no but the thing the thing is, and you saw it, I think, really, when he was talking to his parents,
how they were gassing him up so much.
And I don't think that they disliked Lindsay and just wanted it to be over for that reason.
I think that, like, they seriously, and, like, think he's the greatest thing to ever walk the earth.
They have heard his tale of woe from his version of events, and, like, they're gassing him up.
So I don't even see a world in which he would wake up one day and be like, I want to be, you know, from his version of events and like they're gassing him up so I don't even see
a world in which he would wake up one day and be like I want to be you know the best version of
myself right so that's why they shouldn't be together but I didn't agree with Amanda but then
also the other piece when she said like he's so strong I can never do that and it's like she
didn't do that and also what's interesting is like watching this season knowing that they don't end
up together because then everybody watches every fight
and it's like, well, so good they didn't end up together.
It's so true.
But the season before Kyle and Amanda got married,
they got married at the end of the summer,
like was the same fighting every weekend.
A very unhappy couple.
Maybe these two people shouldn't be together.
And if they had wound up not getting married,
no one would have said they should have gotten married.
No, we would have watched back and been like,
oh wow, look at this.
Right, but now we know that they did get married so so you assume like those fights okay
they got past them and such an amazing point you're making and it's like okay there's things
we don't know and and we'll go glaze over that because you know you're married I would actually
argue that the season that um Amanda and Kyle got married their fights were worse because they were
about like bigger things at the end of the day and this is why I think Lindsay was so blindsided, like what they were
fighting about was Carl's career, which isn't something you break up over. Right. And like he
could go and get a job tomorrow and then this fight is taken out of the equation. They can go
back to fighting about whatever other regular stuff they fight about. And the way he was just
looking at her on that couch, like he hates her. And you can see that reflected in some of the things that he said, like you want me
to relapse.
What an ugly thing to say.
You couldn't even conjure up something so mean to say about someone you even remotely
liked.
And he's sitting there with just like devil eyes.
Like he hates this woman.
How did, like what, why did he propose?
But there was a time when I think that he really felt that way.
And I think he just saw himself like.
I think.
I don't know.
I think he was a happier person a year ago.
I think he was like newly sober, like newly sun life.
He had he was working with Loverboy, but it wasn't working out.
But he was going to be going on to the next thing.
And like he was in a really good car potential.
And then in the last year, like things have gone downhill for him.
And instead of looking inward and being like,
I'm not living up to my potential.
What else has changed in the last year?
Lindsay.
Oh,
it's you.
I don't like you.
Lindsay has always been like one of the most polarizing people on the show.
And she was coming off of like a few bad years where like all the girls were
against her.
The audience was against her.
And so I think Carl really thought it was going to be easy for him to like.
And the fact that she came out seriously like the hero of this story.
I think is really powerful when you look at how the odds were stacked against her.
And Carl really should have had an easy time making her the villain.
But she so wasn't.
And as far as her saying she was blindsided.
Like she was completely blindsided by this decision.
As she said it's two weeks of fighting.
You don't like call off the rest of your future
because you've had a hard two weeks
or even like a not ideal summer.
As we saw with Kyle and Amanda,
having a bad summer before your wedding
can be par for the course,
especially you're living in a share house
with a bunch of other people
weighing in on your relationship all the time.
Like that's a recipe for disaster.
No, and getting married is so stressful.
Even in like the most perfect relationships,
like you're fighting.
Right.
So I think when Carl went into that conversation he acts like and I know he says it on the reunion too I went into that conversation to have a conversation I didn't have
my mind made up I want to see how the conversation went and then we would take it from there but like
Lindsay couldn't have responded to everything that he was saying like more calmly calmly and
rationally and in a way of like I want to work on things like she did
she did not give him any reason to end things and still he ended things just to say like
that conversation he walked in like knowing he was going to end the relationship which is
premature to me and certainly blindsiding to her yeah I stand I can't wait for the reunion I
thought when they when they put the trailer for the reunion,
obviously like the obvious things
that we're going to be talking about,
I'm excited to hear.
But Paige and Danielle fighting, I'm obsessed.
I guess like Danielle watched
and saw like Paige's snarky comments
that are so on fucking point.
And that I'm very much looking forward to hearing.
Yeah, no, it was hysterical.
Paige said like some really funny things
that Danielle's obviously
Going to be upset about
Lindsay you can have her back
You can have her back
We see what you were saying
Yeah no like
To me that was the whole
Like season in a nutshell
Yeah
And I cannot wait
And the girls look so gorgeous
At the reunion
Like everyone
Yeah I cannot wait
For the reunion
It was nice that the girls
I also
I think this is like a
year well not how long after no actually they wrap labor day they wrap and then what is the
reunion film it filmed like two weeks ago I think oh so I am looking forward to actually hearing
from Amanda like what has gone on in their relationship because yeah we're judging something
that happened last summer so what has happened since then?
With her and Kyle.
Yeah, like, you know, your husband called you a fucking bitch on TV, but that's a year ago.
Like, a lot can happen since then, and I'm curious what they've done.
I feel like this happens every, the last few seasons I've watched with them,
they have a bad summer, and then they come on the reunion,
and they're like, things are good.
So true.
Things are good.
We're understanding each other.
They don't get grilled. It's each other. They don't get grilled.
It's almost like.
They don't get grilled at all.
And then they go back into the house
and their relationship is the same.
It's true.
They don't really get grilled ever
about not only their relationship,
but like their place in the house.
Yeah, but like,
how are you going to grill a married couple
about their relationship?
Like it's one, what are they going to give you?
They better give you nothing. They're married. And like two like it's one what are they going to give you not they better give you nothing they're married and like two that's not your place like you're not a couple's counselor yeah you know yeah but it never stopped anyone from doing it to Carl and
Lindsay even when they were engaged I also forgot telling them that they're wrong for each other and
they don't like each other and they don't know how to communicate meanwhile Kyle called his wife a
fucking bitch and you would never say those things to him no and the thing is is that I think that's been a huge
argument with former cast mates um I don't know if Kyle is at all involved in production but there's
definitely like a hierarchy he's been there from the beginning and he helps cast the show
and I feel like at one point he like I think he like started the show I don't know what his role
is but you know everyone gets their feet held to the fire except for him and I think he like started the show. I don't know what his role is, but you know, everyone gets their feet held to the fire
except for him.
And I think that's been a huge issue.
Like I remember with the Workus twins
and then Hannah Burner,
it's like, this isn't a leveled playing field.
And it's like, we're all bleeding out,
getting our asses ripped and you act the worst
and get the least amount of sort of accountability.
Yeah.
It's been a longstanding issue on the show.
I don't know exactly what it is,
like what his role is in with the creators
and producers of the show,
but I feel like it's something.
Even the way that, you know, his brand,
Danielle could only wish for such promotion for her app.
So true.
I also think it has to do with Andy.
I think in general, he goes easier on the guys.
I think he likes all the guys.
On Southern Charm, he's like so hard on the women.
Shep, Craig, Austin, hey boys, what's up? Like I think he just like likes the guys I think he likes All the guys On Southern Charm He's like so hard On the women Shep, Craig, Austin
Hey boys
What's up
Like I think he just
Like likes the guys
In general
Same with
Every show
Vanderpump Rules
Vanderpump Rules
Summer House
Like he's easy on Kyle
He's harder on Lindsay
He's so
You know what I mean
Like I think he just
Like likes the boys more
And it's
Very obvious
I think some of the girls
Like he doesn't even
Know their names.
A thousand percent.
You can't tell me he knows Gabby's name.
You can't tell me he knows Gabby's name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, I just wanted to give a shout out to Sierra because I think she's setting such
a good example.
I agree.
When she was talking about being in a relationship and how why do people see that as like shackles
or a bad thing?
Like, let's go
to a game let's go to a wedding like to me it's so true like relationships especially like boyfriend
girlfriend is so fun and hookup culture that's what's really not that fun fraught with peril
and just like you're in like you don't know how people feel and you're just on a stranger's whim
and like I am not like bashing it at all,
but I do feel like relationships get like the bad rap is being like,
a thousand percent ball and chain.
No,
like stability.
That's fun.
No,
no.
Having someone to go to all these things you have to go to with the good,
the fun stuff and the bad stuff with seriously is life alteringly fun.
Partnership is fun.
I,
I couldn't agree more.
I love that.
And I think like people who glamorize
the hooking up phase and then sort of dread the relationship phase, it's really just a sign of
immaturity. Because once you get into a healthy relationship, you realize how much better it is
than that. Like you said, that sense of uneasiness. Does he like me? Like it's horrible. Yeah. And so
that is just her being like wise beyond her years. And Wes, and that's the thing with,
even when you date a guy the same age as you,
they're so emotionally behind in terms of maturity.
That's why you have to date someone older.
Yeah.
I feel like maybe she could make him see
that like this could be fun still.
But it's not her job.
I don't know.
Like relationships, monogamy, like it's like a bad rap.
Yeah.
But I think like being exclusive
and being with someone that you really like
and getting to do all your favorite things, but like with your favorite person,
that sounds more fun than like waiting for a text.
Is he going to call me?
A thousand percent.
So just shout out to Sierra.
She deserves better.
She does.
But also like I hope that she doesn't get feel pressured to like change her ways
or, you know, maybe she feels like she's not like being modern.
But she's a scrupled woman.
I completely agree.
Nurse slash model.
Slash scrupled.
And I think that makes a really easy segue
into our final segment of the week,
which is every Friday,
Jackie and I do Queenie and Weenie of the Week,
where we bestow two honors,
Queenie and Weenie of the Week,
to somebody who exhibited either weenie-like symptoms
or queenie-like symptoms.
And I think we're both in agreement that our weenie of this week is one Carl Radke.
We are in agreement.
Try as you may, you will never be a lady.
And I did not like what you said about my friend.
I think you are really manipulative and you have a lot of work to do on yourself.
Like for real.
Yeah.
And you're allowed to end a relationship. You're allowed to especially end a bad relationship
but you making the relationship bad so that you can end it while also trying to throw your partner
under the bus. And gaslight her. Gaslight. Like textbook. Yeah is extremely mean behavior and
that's putting it mildly. And then Queenie?
Lindsay Hubbard.
Of course.
Pinnacle of grace and patience.
Maturity.
And strength.
And female strength.
I never thought we would see that from Lindsay,
anyone on this cast.
Yeah.
But really, Lindsay, I don't think a lot of people thought,
like, Queenie-like behavior.
And then her showing up to the reunion,
she looks so sick.
And she's got a new
man she made no time she looks her best because when they flashed back to her engagement I thought
she looked so much younger this season so much like her skin is glowing she's like healthy glow
she looks insane insane I thought she looked amazing she looked amazing when she was crying
at the girls apartment yeah I think maybe she had just like went a little nuts with the filler last season and maybe got some of it dissolved or didn't you know like re-up it
because she looked so young and glowy and healthy this season and at the reunion she looks so
like I don't know glowy yeah yeah and she has one confessional look where she's wearing that
like little yellow corset top and her hair is like a little flip and she looks perfection. Perfection.
And that's really the best revenge.
It's so true.
So that's a wrap on Subber House for Union
coming up next week.
Super excited for that.
And that's our show, correct?
That's the week in Toast?
