Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast, and happy Hump Day! It is Wednesday here. We are excited. We are feeling a little, you know, coming off of Valentine's Day, right into Hump Day. Feeling kind of, uh, excited, if you know what I mean. Hey, Jax. How you doing? I'm doing well. We're feeling that amorous spirit over here at the Terst. You know what it's giving?

What? Amore. That's beautiful, Claudia. Thanks. How was your big V-Day? Oh, you know what? It was fabulous. Me and Ben went to dinner. We went out to

Katsuya, which like I feel like Throwback. It's giving like the hills which like I feel like. Throwback. It's giving like the hills. Like I feel like they used to eat there in L.A. all the time. Do you think that you went there because you were watching Laguna Beach? 100%. I also went there because it's close to Madison Square Garden. Like it's on 30th and 11th.

It's like Hudson Yards. So I honestly had very low expectations. But I have to say it was absolutely fabulous. And I feel like the amount of fabulous places in this town is dwindling. And when I find one, I want to share it. so it was also very toasty lots of toasters so you know you're eating amongst like-minded people which is so important always nice and then we saw Billy Joel I will say I think I might need like a Billy Joel break because um and I get it like you know Billy Joel has like you know hundreds of songs and, you know, there's

like 15 that everyone loves and he has to do, you know, multiple shows a year and he doesn't want to keep playing the same 15. And he does, but like he really has to, like he played so many, more so than any other time, so many like, like unknown songs. Like my section was sitting the whole time until the encore, which is like never a good sign, you know? How many times have you been to Billy Joel this might be like my third or fourth but the last two times were like in the span of six months okay that's a lot of Joel it was great and he's great and he's so um like energized and you don't really he's like in his 70s he was talking about how he was born in 1949 I'm like holy shit you're one year younger than the state of Israel.

Like it was crazy. But I just felt like, you know, like play the hits. Come on. Especially on B-Day, play the love songs, even though the hits aren't really love songs. That's what he was saying. He like started out. He's like, all right, I'm gonna do a bunch of songs about love. I don't really like have that many.

But here you go. Yeah. So it was good. It was great. It was also like a great thing to do on Valentine's Day. I feel like everyone just like does dinner and like candles, but I don't know. It was like a fun activity. That is fun. I'm glad you had a fun time. How was your V-Day? Oh, let's talk about an update from yesterday. Did you get flowers? Cause I didn't, I was fucking pissed. So yes, technically I got flowers. Um, because. Because, and I don't want to complain, because you know, flowers are flowers, technically.

But Zach had to run to the grocery store to get Harry some milk, and he did bring me some grocery store roses. And that was that. I don't want to criticize, because I didn't even get. And then when we sat down for dinner, I literally said to Ben, I'm like, I shouldn't even have to ask this but like where are my flowers and he was like oh my god I forgot I'm always so good with the flowers I'm so sorry and I just said it's unacceptable you have one job and I didn't realize how important flowers are to you on

Valentine's Day like to me I'm all or nothing. Like either we're going to dinner, you're getting me flowers and a gift or forget about it. I just, I'm in like in the last few years, I feel like gifts for me in the place that I'm in in my life, like gifts are so unnecessary. And Ben loves giving gifts, but I've told him like, I don't need anything. It's so wasteful. Like don't get me gifts. But that doesn't mean I don't want a curd and some flowers.

Yeah. Oh, curd. Yeah. Curds fell by the wayside yesterday. But we're making plans for our anniversary because we really, we didn't like do anything yesterday. We just like acknowledge each other. I got my grocery store flowers.

But we're going to put it all to Friday because like, oh my God, we have no energy. I can imagine. But it's important. You got to oh my God, we have no energy. I can imagine. But it's important. You got to make time for each other. I know. I know. But, you know, we have a one-year-old. So it's just, it's crazy times.

No, for sure. And like, I totally, I believed Ben when he said he forgot. Like, I don't think he had bad intentions. He was like, and I know he's like so stressed and so busy with work like spritz up they're like raising money like I and I get it like and I see when he comes home from work like how stressed he is so I'm not minimizing that but I'm sorry it's unacceptable and it's like you guys were celebrating Valentine's Day like you made plans I'm sure you made the reservation I'm sure you got the tickets like I did he had one job what he just showed up does he expect to be like wined and dined on Valentine's Day? Like what did he do to contribute to Valentine's Day?

I'm so glad you brought that up because we talked about this before bed. He's like, but I made the reservation. Sir, I literally asked you for a week to make the reservation. A week. I texted you so many times reminding you about it. Of course, you did not do it. And then on Monday night, you made the reservation it and then on Monday night you made the reservation and then we ended up changing it the day of so I don't know that's like I'm not swept away by that

no I'm not I'm not swept away by that for you and like if I was in if I this was like two years ago and Zach and I were married but like we didn't have kids like we were celebrating Valentine's Day like I would not be happy with those things. No, and I, Ben is so extreme. Like either he has to buy me, you know, a home or I get nothing. And it's like, I don't want either. Like I don't want a new purse.

Like I just want flowers. And I know when I get home today, I know like the biggest arrangement. And you know what? You're gonna get some flowers that were on sale and some chocolate hearts. I him I said please do not send me flowers tomorrow there is nothing sadder and will make me feel like a bigger fucking loser than getting flowers on Wednesday please do not do it and also it's like whatever happened to you know sending flowers to your girl at work

like I know dream big but imagine you walk to the studio and like there were flowers waiting for you and you were genuinely surprised. I love flowers. And I think maybe that's why I don't really like that Miley Cyrus song. Because yeah, I could buy myself flowers, but don't make me.

Yeah, I agree. It's not about the money spent. It's about like the thought behind them and who is sending them. Honestly, I don't think there's a moment in like a woman's life that makes you feel more special than like coming home and there's like a road and you don't know who it's from and you have to look at the card and you're like oh my god he was thinking of me like it's so special and Ben took that away from me

I'm glad you could come on here and you know vent yeah I vented to Ben last night like I like he felt so bad like I felt bad like hounding him but I'm sorry it's unacceptable unacceptable I understand he's definitely gonna try and do something to make it up for it and it's just gonna make it worse 100% I told him last night I'm not. I'm like, let's just let bygones be bygones. Don't let it happen again. Please do not do anything extreme. Yeah. He will.

But we have a great show today because it's Wednesday, which means we're going to be helping out some toasters in need. We've got three submissions from three girlies who are just desperate for some good old

Emrata and Eric Andre share steamy pics from naked Valentine's Day date. Eric Andre posted photos of him and his rumored girlfriend, Emily Ratajkowski, hanging out in the buff on Instagram for Valentine's Day. He wrote, happy Valentine's Day. It's a picture of him naked on a couch with a heart emoji covering his penis. Meanwhile, M. Rada is in the background. You can see her in the mirror taking the picture naked as well.

Meanwhile, Emrata is in the background. You can see her in the mirror taking the picture naked as well. It's a lot. Why did you choose this story? Because now I have no choice. I chose this story because she's on our list of eligibles. She's confirming she's with a new man. And she's confirming in a really big way that doesn't leave any room for ambiguity or maybe they're just business partners.

So like I know we live in this day and age. Even though this is how you and I usually conduct our business meetings. Yeah, 100%. I know we live in a day and age where like we can do all this stuff. You know, we can be naked on Instagram and be disgusting.

But just because we can be naked on Instagram and be disgusting but just because we can begs the question does that mean we should and I I'm sorry like I thought you know what I don't I don't want to be like like negative and judgmental but like I don't know I saw this picture I'm like this is gross like this house looks dirty like I just like I was like I can't even imagine what's on that couch like there was a butthole on the couch. Like, I don't know. Like I just, these are two people who are like successful. And like, I had a certain image of them in my mind. And now I think they're gross. Sorry. Like I hate to be so negative. I don't know if I'm going to get like backlash for that. But like, this was gross. I do agree. I mean,

like any new relationship, they were spotted at the basketball game. I mean like any new relationship they were spotted at the basketball game basketball game go dogs at the basketball game I was not sorry like baseball I don't know yeah yeah they were spotted at the game and it was like oh are they aren't they because you know she was just with Pink Davidson and she's like the bachelorette of New York City so it was like cute and like you know keeping us on our toes yeah and now there is zero mystery bring back the mystery yeah I don't know what it is with people it's like is nothing sacred anymore like don't get me wrong like yes I know that people who are romantically involved probably walk around their houses naked together I have been married like I know that these things happen I never really have any interest in seeing other people do it you know what I mean no and like some things

are meant for the privacy of your own life I know and I don't know something about this photo I don't know if it was like the red couch that was giving like very Playboy mansion. It's not red. It's dark gray. Oh my God. I could have sworn it was a red couch. Mandela effect. I don't know.

And like the really cluttered house in the back. Like it was just it was giving it was giving like stye, you know? No. Like a pig stye. Oh, I thought you meant like a sty in your eye. I was like, why? Because like if someone lays on the couch where his butt was, then they'll get a pig sty.

Well, 100%. It's appropriate there too. It applies. I don't know. I just like, the whole thing was gross. I'm sorry. I hate to be negative, but it's how I felt. I agree.

But I guess they're together. So what do you think about the coupling? Like, I don't care. okay who is that he's an actor comedian um his face is so familiar so familiar he's in a lot of stuff he's also in a lot of animated stuff which wouldn't explain why his face is familiar but for me I best know him from the internship got it okay oh who does he play in the internship he plays just like one of the higher ups at google who's very googly and who's always on their case oh sorry i was thinking of the intern also incredible but very different google is in the intern okay i understand what you're saying

um i don't care like i honestly i'm i'm not i feel like there are a lot of women out there who are in Emrata's target demographic. And I believe I am the antithesis of her demographic. Yeah. I agree. Same here. So like she doesn't do it for me. Yeah. And I don't care.

Okay. Well, she's coupled up. So we'll take her off the list. And I'm happy that these two have found love in such what is clearly such like a meaningful way because they're going all the way well I also do think part of this I have to imagine

is like a big middle finger to her ex like you know he cheated on her right and she's like I think a little bit at least just like shoving it in his face. And that's something I can get on board with. Yeah.

But the whole world is also watching. Like, I don't know. Yeah, no, it's a lot. It's just a lot. It's a lot, yeah. But hopefully the love is real. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story?

Mm-hmm. Some movie news, probably blockbuster movie news, because Lady Gaga is seen as Harley Quinn for the first time in a Joker sequel photo. Yes, I saw. We have gotten a sneak peek at Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix's big screen bad romance. To celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday, Warner Brothers released the first official look image from the two actors in Joker, Folliado, the upcoming musical sequel. Excuse me?

It's called Joker. Colon. F-O-L-I-E. Space. F-O-L-I-E. Okay. Space. A with an apostrophe on top.

Uh-huh. Space. D-E-U-X. Folia do. Folia do. Okay. The upcoming musical sequel to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, The Joker. She is playing Harley Quinn while he is reprising his role as the Joker.

And they, another romantic story between these two. Who knew she was playing Harley Quinn quinn in this joker sequel yeah i don't know if them releasing the photo was like an announcement or people had already known that i don't really keep up with like you know those types of movies yeah um i love this for lady gaga like this kind of franchise is giving very much like marvel dc like these are real major blockbuster films and she's really in the last year, zuh, cemented herself as like an actress. She really is like a triple threat. And I'm so glad you brought up Lady Gaga because yesterday I had some

downtime and it did go down like a rabbit hole of watching Superbowl halftime shows. I watched Katy Perry's and Lady Gaga's. And in terms of like how I remember them, like I remember Katy Perry's as being like, and it was, but Lady Gaga's was even better than I imagined. Like she did fucking everything. She flew through the sky with the greatest of bees. She sang, she danced, she played that like guitar piano thing. She had like a quiet moment with the piano. You're giving me a million reasons to let you go it was just she also like you know

she was just it was everything she gave all of herself she was also being crazy and it was she was being psychotic she just throws the ball and jumps at the end yep it's and when she jumped off the roof oh my to start yeah but it was so she started off with god bless america and these drones behind her were meant to look like stars and then they all changed to red white and blue and created a flag and it was really it was it had everything it was beautiful yeah i agree katie parry's was more like commercial yes yes and it was so um like kitschy almost. Yes. Like tongue-in-cheek. But I loved it.

I remember watching it and I loved it. I'm sure if I watch it back, I loved it. But Lady Gaga's was a little more like artistic. Oh, and like Katy Perry did bring out Lenny Kravitz to sing a song with her and Missy Elliott. I forgot about the Missy Elliott part who did like two songs with her. So it really wasn't like a one-woman show in the way that Lady Gaga's was.

Yes, agreed. But we did have a headliner. Our choice was made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. with her so it really wasn't like a one-woman show in the way that Lady Gaga's was yes agreed but they did we did have a headliner our choice was made yeah yeah yeah um also Lady Gaga's been pretty quiet recently so I guess she's been filming her movie I think this is gonna be a huge movie because the first one was huge too yeah and and by the way she's always like you know starting rumors with her leading men like do is is Joaquin Phoenix single? No, I think he's with Rooney Mara. Yeah, me too. That's like such an iconic, dark couple. Iconic.

And they've been together a couple years now. Like Megan Fox. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly wish they were as dark authentically as Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix. Because those are two like authentically twisted individuals. Very natural. And I feel like Megan Fox and Megan Kelly are just like playing a part of like,

yes, we are sharing blood of a pack. Yeah. Also Megan Fox Kelly are, they're doing like a lot right now. Like they were seen like leaving a couples counseling building. that was weird. But they are spending Valentine's day together.

The whole thing, everyone who fell for it, not me. Cause I wasn't going to choose it as a story. They're together and they're just being annoying no they have what started out as like kind of like everyone shipping being obsessed has turned into like they're like giving PR yeah everything they do well it makes sense because the initial relationship and the initial love was great for PR yeah no and no. And it really revitalized them. We were just talking about that.

Like it was so good individually for both of them. And I think it was like they really did fall in love. So it was really a win-win. And then I think they just got so used to that level of fame that it became so manufactured. And it's so like annoying to see. Yeah. Agreed. I love this choice for Lady Gaga.

I know she's really kind of, I I think I think she's really hunting an Oscar she's won one for music but I think for acting I think everyone thought House of Gucci was going to be that for her and it wasn't I don't know it like Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for the Joker

I don't know if this is really the type of role you get nominated for I think she could be nominated if her performance is amazing but it's not like a shoo-in like House of Gucci right is kind of like a shoo-in type of movie where you get nominated yeah this is like

you know touch and go but happy for everyone that there's a sequel I never saw the first one I would maybe I mean I probably won't see this but I would maybe see it because Lady Gaga's in it yeah yeah that's true she's bringing a whole new demo she is I wonder if her and Joaquin got along I feel like they did they did they're probably really similar in a sense they're like you know artists artists experience fame really young they're both like a little troubled you know emotional artists yeah that's I could see them getting along I also couldn't really see Joaquin doing a movie with someone that he doesn't get along with. And because like this is his movie, he did the first one and like, you know,

there's no Joker sequel without Joaquin. Like I could imagine he had a say in who got this part, like who he wants to work with. Yeah, totally random, like change of subject tangent. Do you ever feel, like I'm alone in the studio right now. Do you ever feel like you're not alone? Like I can't explain it. I feel like a presence in this room.

I feel like there's a mouse. I have no proof, but I just feel like I'm sharing this space with a rodent. I can feel it. No way. So if you see me like looking around, not at you today, I'm feeling like a creature in my presence.

Or maybe it's like the spirit of somebody who passed. I feel like Teresa Caputo. Who's the young man who passed suddenly? I think it's a spirit. I'm just feeling. I think it's the ghost of Sneet just passed. Oh, I do feel this. Maybe that's why I'm feeling like scared

and the ghost of Sneet just passed is like a really haunted spirit. Yeah, it's not like, it's not a friendly spirit. It's definitely someone, you know, haunted from the other side. No, no, it's not Casper. I would feel lighter than air if casper was in here today no worse no i'm just i just i'm putting it out there i feel a presence in the room presence wait i'm gonna hold the seance presence make yourself known

no i'm kidding i scared myself oh my god I really thought like a light would flicker honestly like that would be so crazy or maybe it's just a mouse yeah probably and like if the light flickered was because like he chewed through the cord you know 100% hopefully our connection stays strong though yeah hopefully he doesn't touch my ethernet cable hopefully he doesn't cause a lag that would cause us to lash out at one another hopefully i hopefully there's no lashing out due to a lag that would be terrible it's due to a mouse with a lag the mouse with the lag children's book are you ready for our next story yeah speaking of children this story like i found to be very disturbing.

Oh, no. I don't know if you saw this, but we were just talking about Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl performance. Mm-hmm. Selfie Kid. Oh, no. Has been arrested in a mall fight. The Selfie Kid, who snapped a viral photo with Justin Timberlake at the end of the Singers 2018 Super Bowl halftime show, spent his past Super Bowl weekend very differently.

Ryan McKenna, who's now 18, was arrested Saturday at a shopping mall in Naples, Florida, where he was allegedly drunk and fighting with friends inside a CPK, according to TMZ. Honestly, sounds like an iconic night out. Drunk at CPK? I guess he's, I keep associating him as like 15. A 12-year-old. No, no 15 but he's 18 so i guess 18 year olds you know do drink but he like he shot to stardom after he took his selfie and now he's just like all right i guess we're you know using the word stardom fast and loose these days we are

like what he achieved was i'm not how many followers does he have, Turdy? How many? I'm going to look. I just remember. And I remember we talked about it. Selfie Kid was like coming off the heels of a lot of like really viral moments that happened so organically. And Selfie Kid felt like he was kind of like an industry plant. Like no one was making him go viral. And everyone was like, the Selfie Kid has gone viral.

It's like, really? We're not talking about him. No, totally. He has. It was so manufactured. He has 445K. I thought he was like the selfie kid has gone viral it's like really we're not talking about him no totally he has it was so many okay he has 445k i thought he was in the millions um this is literally like the weirdest story like i know i don't even know what to say do better selfie kid do better do better selfie kid like he had such opportunity and he did he apparently a 15 year old boy greeted cops at the restaurant reportedly told them that he and the social media star who

was his friend had been in an argument that escalated with selfie kid allegedly standing up and aggressively pushing their table he supposedly screamed obscenities at the boy's girlfriend too wait let me ask you a question how did like who put together that like this random 18 year old relatively unknown kid was was the selfie kid like who's reporting this TMZ original was TMZ so are they they have like a database of like people with remotely famous names and if they come up in any sort of like police like who would be looking for this who would put it together because I couldn't tell you selfie kids first not even last just first name I could not tell you it if you paid me a hundred million dollars agreed I don't know I don't know who put this together because

I feel like this is something like he could have got arrested and like you know years later like he could have shared that he had been arrested like we didn't know you know what I mean breaking news also it's just worth noting that Selfie Kid's mother told the outlet that her son was not under the influence and he was play fighting with his friend after one of them pulled his chair out from under him. Sure. Whatever you say, mom.

Sure. Do better. Like her mom. Do better, Selfie Kid. like i'm really disappointed in you okay educate yourself and like for the fellow diners at cpk they deserve better yeah i hope that they all got you know their meals properly compensated they probably didn't yeah maybe it was one of the diners who recognized him perhaps perhaps there was a perhaps it was a big loser at cpk that night because who would recognize selfie kid five years later like three whatever he looks pretty

this is similar so funny like i can't i literally feel like i'm high i'm like this is so dumb like i feel like I literally smoked pot. Oh my God. So. So good. That's really shit you can only find out here at the Toast. We are so special. We are so different.

We are. And I feel like since we were just talking about Super Bowl halftime shows, we were talking about Selfie Kid. And like, I'm surprised we didn't ask like, where is Selfie Kid now? Drunk at CPK. Yeah, because we don't care. Because we don't care. That's why we didn't ask.

I wonder if he does like any social media like stuff. If he's monetized his brand. You know, I think if he ever were to write a book, Drunk at CPK would be a good title for it. Yeah, I'd read it. Or it would be like a play on the word selfie. Like self-ish. From selfie to selfless.

Totally. My Journey to Finding Christ or something like that. Looks like he's just chilling with his friends. Good, living a normal life. Taking lots of selfies, I hope. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess that's his thing. That was a bad, that was a bad that was just

bad like he could take a selfie that's so cute he's 15 years old and he's at the Super Bowl and Justin Timberlake walked past him but for like then him to go on Ellen because he took a selfie like what's wrong with everyone no how low is the bar you know yeah I wonder what Justin Timberlake thinks of him he kind of like stole his moment. I'm sure he fucking hates him. Yeah. Cause I feel like Justin Timberlake is like a massive, like pussy diva.

Ego maniac. Yeah. And anything that like takes a spotlight off of him during his big night. I'm sure he was, I'm sure he was like throwing glasses against the wall. Also like selfie kid doesn't not look like him. Yeah. No,

they were definitely like, you know, seeing each other. It's a similar vibe. Oh, my God. Here. Yeah. Like then at like the iHeartRadio Music Festival in 2018, Selfie Kid took another selfie with Justin Timberlake.

Oh, Justin Timberlake is their sponsor. Yeah. Justin Timberlake. By the way, you heard it here first. Justin Timberlake hates Selfie Kid. Justin Timberlake is the one who called first justin timberlake hates self justin timberlake is the one who called tmc he has a google alert oh my god literally to cancel him literally that's such a good call to put an end to this long nightmare once and for all and the

madness okay are you ready for our next story yeah which is kind of the opposite news to selfie kid being drunk at cpk okay lucy hale has celebrated one year of sobriety after a private journey of self love you know what i saw this on her instagram because we follow each other and i was like oh one year who is she dating because the last time we spoke about her, she was taking those stage pictures with Colton at Run Your Catty. No, last time we spoke about her, she was dating Skeet Ulrich. Was she? Yeah. Oh, my God.

I don't even remember that. Yeah, they went on some dates. Oh, that's kind of cute, but a little age inappropriate. No, she's 33. She can date who she wants. Oh, 33, I guess. Yeah. I will always see her as Aria like 12 years old

so I was like oh man who is she dating and then I read the caption and I was like so weirdly like proud and happy for her I'm like that's amazing agreed I had the same experience uh she marked one year of sobriety last month the star told her Instagram followers that's me and Claudia in an alternate oh alternative Valentine'sine's day post on tuesday that she has abstained from alcohol since january 2022 she said this is a post about self-love and about the greatest thing i've ever done on january 2nd 2023 i celebrated one year of sobriety while this journey has mostly been private i felt compelled to let anyone who is struggling know that you are not alone and you are loved uh she got a ton of support from her

former PLL co-stars on her Instagram and I just thought that was awesome. Me too. I was so like moved by that. I love that for her. I feel like it's so hard to do especially in Hollywood where like you know temptation is everywhere is everywhere and and really in order to like get ahead you always have to be like hobnobbing and drinking and partying with these different people and it's so toxic and you know what I just I loved this I'm so happy for her I really wish her the best on her sobriety journey yeah me as well me as well but not as much as like I wish her more well than you think so I kind of feel like I know you guys follow each other but I kind of feel like I'm the bigger fan you actually are like a huge Lucy Hale fan like you watch every

show she comes out with that never gets renewed for a second season queen yeah except for that one that was on CW I didn't watch that but I watched Katie Keene yeah um and at every movie like if it's Lucy Hale I'm watching it did you see her in the? No. It was like one of my spicy books that they turned into a movie. And she played the girl. And the girl's name in the book was Lucy. I just feel like the concept of that book, I hate enemies to lovers. Oh my God, I love enemies to lovers. That's my least favorite trope.

So I just, for that reason, it wasn't like a Lucy thing. It was a me thing. The movie was good. But enemies to lovers is not my favorite Lucy thing. It was a me thing. The movie was good. But Enemies to Lovers is not my favorite trope. It's a good one. My favorite trope is like childhood. Childhood best friends, borderline lovers, big drama, they don't speak for years,

reconnect in their late 20s. Do you think that you have a personal interest in that because of Maverick? You are so sick and twisted. Like, no. Do you think that Ben didn't get you flowers because he knows, like,

how you feel about Maverick? Because he knows it's a fruitless endeavor. Because he's like, why doesn't Maverick get you flowers? Oh, you want flowers so bad? I'll tell Maverick.

Perhaps, maybe when we fight about it later, I'll bring that up and see if that played any sort of factoring role. Let me ask you something else. Please. If you just said to Ben the word maverick, would he have any idea what that means?

You know what? Should I just text him and be like, do you know what maverick is? Say, do you know who maverick is? That's such a great question. I don't know because he like never listens to this podcast but he read your book he did do you know who Maverick is question mark all right I'll keep you all updated on he actually has like an important meeting at 11 he's definitely not going to answer but we tried I think I think this is more important I think so

too I think you should step out of the meeting. I think you should probably postpone it. You're cracking me up today, turd. We are being funny today. Yeah. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? The final story. Yeah.

I see you checking your phone, wondering. By the way i my phone's on do not disturb so i wasn't checking i was kind of just like giving a sexy shoulder so i looked left final you know what i mean i really wasn't looking at my phone oh okay literally i was also just i was scouring the floor for mice literally sure you are so disgusting wait let me see if he answered no he didn't answer okay our fifth and final story is some actually big news for kids today and kids from the 90s because Barney is back bitches Barney is back and snatched Mattel is relaunching the iconic purple dinosaur for kids and adults okay calm down about the adults yeah mattel is putting a fresh spin on the barney franchise the toy company is planning

to revitalize the famous purple dinosaur with a new presence across tv film youtube and kids products such as toys books and clothes the company said the barney relaunch is the latest example of mattel mining the incredible depth and breadth of its IP portfolio to relaunch heritage franchises, aka they can't find new ideas, so they're going into the archives. No, actually, let me tell you how I think this is really smart. No, I think this is a good idea. And like, I don't think this is because they couldn't think of anything better, but I think, you know, you can build a brand around like a kid's, you know,

pet monkey and it'll be popular. But to revitalize a brand that people, that the people who were obsessed with are now probably moms and dads. So it's like, all right, I'm buying my kids a toy. Oh, I grew up with Barney or this newfangled vampire. Like I'm going to go with Barney. No, a hundred percent. And I know Barney and I know what he stands for and I don't't have to. I trust him. Yeah, I trust him. And it's like we watch Barney and we turned out great. Like you want that same thing for your kids.

And I feel like even when I've thought about like what I want to turn on for Harry, it's like, well, what did I watch? I watch Barney. Like, how can I give him Barney? So I'm so, so here for this. And I just hope that like the Barney we know and love and the integrity of Barney stays the same. Like, of course, they modernized his look.

They chiseled his jawline. A lot of people were joking that he got in on the buckle fat removal trend because his jowls are completely gone. But he's still, you know, our plus size king. Oh, my God. Literally, nobody has done more for the body positivity movement than Barney. Yeah. So I just hope that they don't change too much about him.

They just like, they have the new look. He'll be on YouTube. He'll have his TV and movies. And of course it will be like more HD than what we used to watch. But like, I want those same messages of friendship, of love,

of love. I love you. You love me. We're a happy, excuse me, family with the great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love me too? Yeah, no, beautiful message. And it kind of became this springboard, this kind of like Mickey Mouse club for young talent you know Selena Gomez was a Barney actor and so was Demi Lovato like it was this breeding ground for stardom and I don't know maybe maybe we gotta send Harry maybe we do but we also have to remember that like things what

got took a dark turn with Barney well did that documentary ever come out it did come out I believe um just because it's been so long and I don't know that anyone watched it okay because they said someone was really seeing a documentary that there was a dark side to Barney no not to Barney but to the um community the fandom like the title was I love you you hate me and it was about the hate that Barney received the death threats the threats on his life I actually would be really kind of interested to see that documentary and I have to say maybe you know this timing is not so coincidental on Mattel's part kind of trying to make people forget about some of the things that came out in that documentary

I can't I don't think anything came out that was damning about Barney himself or even like the set that he cultivated. Right. That's what I thought the documentary was going to be about. It's like, oh, no. Toxicity. A documentary about a TV show that mainly casted kids. Kill me.

Yeah. Yeah. But it wasn't that. No, you're right. It was like some errant fans. Because like Barney's someone that like, you know, you could lose your mind over. I mean, I get it.

We did. We were obsessed. Obsessed. This is what they said. In creating the new series, it was important to us that we properly reflect the world that kids today live in so that the series can deliver meaningful lessons about navigating it.

With our modern take on Barney, we hope to inspire the next generation to listen, care, and dream big. We think that parents, many of whom will fondly remember the original Barney from their own childhoods, will love the show too. It's a brilliant marketing move.

Tug on the heartstrings of the kids and the parents. I think Barney's about to be relaunched as another billion-dollar brand for Mattel. Good for them. Agreed, but not too modern, Barney. Calm yourself. Yeah, no. No, the thing with kids' shows is like you really,

it's a simple formula, you know? Yeah, but. And the ones that have been around forever, they all do the same shit. thing with with kids shows is like you really it's a simple formula you know yeah but and the ones that have been around forever they all do the same shit you know yeah yeah I just like I don't want to see radical Barney that's not what I want to say oh I kind of would love that like Barney going off the deep end like kind of obsessed like Barney is a socialist from our imagination wait how did that song go barney is a dinosaur from our imagination when he's on his when he's gone some sensation it's made from me to you.

Fire bops. Let's keep up the fire bops with this, you know, Barney 2.0. Yeah, like the bar is high for Barney. And so while I'm so here for this move, I think it's brilliant. Yeah. No, you're right. Don't fuck it up. In the words of the late, not late, the great RuPaul,

good luck and don't fuck it up. Literally. Are we ready to dive into Dear Toaster's, my absolute favorite part of the week? Born ready. The reason why I get out of bed on Mondays? On Mondays? Yeah, like knowing, like, okay, it's back to work, but at least I'll be saving lives on Wednesday.

All right. You ready for some dear toasters? Ready to save the girlies? I'm so ready. Hello, Jackson Claude. Love you guys. I have a friend who has been copying me for as long as I've known her. She'll copy my ideas, my fashion, my jokes, and just key personality traits and make them her own. I honestly think she doesn't notice that she's doing this. I'll say something super specific about a movie we are watching and like two minutes later, she'll make the exact same comment. I also have a unique sense

of fashion and she's always copying me. For example if I make wearing bright orange all winter my personality trait she'll randomly say she's obsessed with orange. I used to take it as flattery but now it's annoying and I hate that my jokes are now hers too. How do I bring this up to her because it's such a weird thing to go to your friend and say stop copying me. Yeah you can't really say anything without sounding like so petty and for me I know it's easier said than done but it's like I wouldn't enjoy being friends with someone who doesn't have an original thought and who's just like constantly copying me like what does she bring to the friendship why do you still hang out with her I just want to say like I have a totally different take on this maybe it's because like yes jokes I am want to say like I have a totally different take on this

maybe it's because like yes jokes I am great at but like no one's ever like marveled at my style and like wanted to copy everything that I do um so I would find it flattering yeah until a point but I think if anything like you being like you're the orange girl and then like your friend shows up wearing orange like it makes her look like a loser and like you look like cool like I would kind of just like let her keep embarrassing herself yeah but I just don't understand why someone who's like so unoriginal like what how did you two even meet no and like why do you keep hanging out if like you're watching a movie and she's just like parroting back what you said like what do you guys talk about if you're just talking to yourself but I also think there are instances

when you can call it out like okay so you made a comment about a movie and two minutes later yeah she made a comment that's the perfect scenario to be like girly I and like make it into a joke be like okay not you literally saying what I just said five seconds ago like call it out so it's like at least maybe she doesn't even know she's consciously doing it but like at least everyone in the room will know and you can do it in like a funny way and then when she shows up wearing orange be like yes I love that you like say something like living for orange it's giving Catherine or whatever your name is like it's giving it's giving Claudia you sound like so egotistical it's like you didn't invent the color well her ego was only that big because everyone's copying her and she sounds fabulous I just want to say no I totally agree I mean orange

we're all wearing it I think we're all wearing orange this winter do you see my outfit today full orange it's orange it's orange in the winter in the winter um that's really annoying I really don't know what you could do I think here and there you could say like wait I just said that or wait I just did that but it does kind of make you look small it's like petty you're clearly the more original creative fabulous friend why must we put down this one who doesn't have those things going on? No, but you know, at a certain point, like we're all adults, like, okay, you don't want to, you're not so creative, that's fine.

Nobody has to be, not everyone has to be like the most creative person, but like own it. Like stop, just like be the not creative girl. Don't be the girl who copies. That's fucking embarrassing. Yeah. It's better to like own who you are

as like a not super like out there creative person than to like try so hard to be someone else. Try to be someone you're not. Yeah. Like we're kind of too grown for that. Honestly, like I kind of feel bad for this girl. Me too. I like have sympathy for the girl who copies.

Yeah, she has like no sense of self. Yikes. Yikes. So like just take it from that perspective perspective like don't be so hard on her she's like she honestly sounds like a loser like like for real okay ready hello jackson hello jackson mcturd love you girls i listen to mcdonald's and i order the mcturd i know but they're always out of it It's so annoying because it's so popular. Yeah, it's just like the McPlant.

Yeah. A myth. I listen to you guys so much that I'm pretty sure my baby's first words will be good morning, millennials. My sister and I are huge fans and we've been dying to get your input on the situation. I'm a military wife slash new mama, so I live far away from any of my friends. Thank you for your service. Amen. I live far away from my friends and family. I had a baby this past June

and I went back to working from home in September. I found what I thought was a perfect babysitter. We only need her once a week. She's a young college-aged girl who claims to be dog-friendly and great with babies. She takes good care of the basic needs of my baby, feeds him, changes him, puts him down for naps. But anything other than that, she sucks.

This girl leaves my baby in the playpen as she raids our cabinets and fridge and freezer and cleans us out. I'm talking Costco sized package of tortellini gone after lunch. I caught her putting leftovers, water bottles, tampons in her backpack. Side note when she started babysitting I asked her what she likes to eat

so I can keep it in the house for her which I do. She ignores my dog when he barks or just tells him no and locks my dog out of the room so he can't play with his baby brother, which causes him to stand outside the door and bark relentlessly in a panic until I text her to let him in. If we cancel babysitting less than 72 hours in advance, we have to pay her for the whole day. She asked us to pay her when my grandma died.

We are desperate because there are slim pickings of babysitters where we live, but I feel like she's taking advantage of our desperation and kindness. I really want to stay working because it's remote so I can keep my job and my license as we move from state to state every few years what should I do should I fire her quit my job and just be a stay-at-home mom full-time or am I being too critical and as just an overprotective mom sincerely a confused new working mama the hunger thing is interesting and the tampons the tea I getons is like college kids are always on a budget like I could see them like throwing an extra water bottle in their backpack

but honestly the tampon things give like gives me pause it kind of sounds like I know this is crazy but she she sounds homeless well she's only with them one day a week right that's what she said yes um I know but I understand like what a college age person like it's like when you go back to your parents you steal toilet paper yeah but one she's not her parents but two like the food stuff even though like Costco size tortellini is a lot of food like you take like you open the door to be like we'll have food for you so like okay you can't judge that she eats so much but like no taking tampons like that's just like that's inappropriate um no and Jackie at the end of the day taking something without someone's permission

is stealing no but like taking the tortellini without asking and eating all of it and eat and and being a casa like because that's what she's being and she's taking advantage of the situation that's it's uncouth but it's not I think fireable considering your pickings are slim but it sounds like you have all of these issues with her I would try as hard as you could to find someone else because you shouldn't quit your job you should keep practicing it's one day a week and it's not even like she's amazing with right the kid she does a bare minimum yeah I mean anything she eats in your house on your time she's a hundred percent entitled to um it's the packing up of stuff without asking permission that I just feel like is a slippery slope it's just taking advantage and it's not it's not right and yeah I mean the dog thing I kind of understand me too um because you

have a little baby and it's hard to watch both at the same time and sometimes like I'll be doing something with Harry and I'll have brew like outside the playpen just because like I'm watching Harry um so that I do sort of get though the barking is annoying maybe you have a sit down and talk with her if you really can't find someone else just kind of like a statement of work being like um expectations and we're happy you know to get you things that you want when you're here you're welcome to what's in the pantry but we find it to be a little rude when you take things home with you it feels like you're taking advantage of our kindness right like if the girl was working and got her period and can I use a tampon?

Of course. But to stock up on your supply from someone else's house is an insane thing to do. Yeah. And I'm sympathetic because college kids are more often than not on, you know, strict budgets. And so, all right, if she took like two tampons, but like the whole thing, taking the supply of everything, it ain't right. No, like go take it from the Women's Center at college.

Yeah, right. There are, especially at college, so many resources. Yeah, like go to the health center. Like the health clinic, yeah. Grab some stuff. That's so weird. To do that in someone's home is insane. Yeah, and when someone's in your house,

like you need to feel comfortable. Yeah. So I would focus on finding someone else. I don't know where you live, but there's someone. to feel comfortable. Yeah. So, I think, I would focus on finding someone else. Like, I don't know where you live, but there's someone.

Yeah, there's other colleges, students. Right, right. Bulletin boards, things like that. Toasters,

drop a comment. Like, if you live kind of in a small town, like, where's the best place to find a good babysitter? I think there are also

apps and Facebook groups. Yes. Okay, third and final. Hello, Jackson Claude. I have a dilemma and I need your help. Okay. Third and final. Hello, Jackson, Claude. I have a dilemma and I need your help. This is a little, you know, IRS tax dilemma that I'm really interested in. I have a group of friends and we all go skiing a few times a year. There's like 10 of us, so it's a lot of ducks to keep in a row. The leader of the group, Megan, is almost always in charge of the Airbnb. This is fine with everyone because she is the one

who knows everyone the most and can really wrangle the crew. A few weeks ago, Megan made a comment to another member of the group that struck us as odd. She said, if the IRS ever calls you about the Airbnbs, will you tell them that you're a client of mine? We always split the Airbnbs evenly, but is she writing them off and getting free trips and charging us? How would I even approach this if so it's so awkward to bring up money and I don't want to accuse her of something if that was some kind of weird joke please help a broke toaster um she's definitely writing it off

yeah that doesn't mean she's getting it for free though no she's still paying it's just a tax write-off so like she's saving some money on her taxes um that's just fucking weird you should just be like I'm not lying to the IRS like yeah thank you and then moving forward like all right one of the other girls somebody does the Airbnb yeah I don't think it was I don't think it was weird joke like I think she really I don't know what business she's in but it's somewhere I guess she would have a client go to an Airbnb and she can write it off um just when she asked you just be like I'm not lying to the IRS So figure it out What kind of business Y'all in?

That's what you just Sounded like Did I? I don't know what You said I don't know What kind of business She's in I don't know what

Kind of business Y'all in She is writing off The Airbnb Yeah We love like a Resourceful queen Like not gonna lie

No not if it means Implicate other Other people Yeah Not if it means lying. To implicate other people, yeah. Not if it means lying. Like if you find a loophole, loophole it. Loop-de-loop. But you can't lie to the IRS and you can't ask your friends to lie.

No, that's the worst part, is like getting other people involved. Yeah, and this is just, I don't think this is isolated in terms of her fraudulence. No, she sounds like a deeply problematic and fraudulent person yeah like she's writing off everything yeah and like it sounds like the IRS has maybe already made contact with her like like they're on her tail and yeah this is weird stay

away and she should not be in charge of booking the house but also um I think you guys are like oh no Megan does it because it makes sense she wrangles us but no megan has made herself the person who books the house she's taken advantage of all you guys think you like let it be megan's thing but she took it and let you think it was your idea you think you're playing megan but megan is playing you bitches yeah so that's what's going on with Megan don't lie to the IRS Megan Megan um speaking of this new episode of good guys with Josh and Ben if you are feeling sad that this episode is over there's also just there's so many great podcasts out there on Toast News Network and Dear Media just like check them all out all of them every single one a full report by tomorrow by tomorrow of what was your favorite obviously
