Good morning, millennials.
Welcome back to the Toast and happy Tuesday.
I hope everybody's having a gorgeous, glorious day.
And speaking of gorgeous and glorious, it's my gorgeous and glorious friend and sister
in Christ, Jackie O.
Thank you, Lotter.
What a beautiful introduction.
Happy Tuesday to all who celebrate the day of the Toos.
Are there those who don't?
I feel like there are those who don't.
Do you think there are people who live off the, like who, cause days kind of the week
are kind of like a social construct, very much so.
Are there people don't adhere to the days of the week?
Days of the week.
For sure.
I mean, there are people who like don't adhere to
like a lot of random things, you know?
So days of the week.
Sure.
And just like there are other calendars
and other cultures,
like maybe today isn't Tuesday for everyone.
Well, actually it's not.
You have to think of that.
In Israel, it's Yom Shishai.
Oh, well, they're also a day for, yeah.
Right, and they only take off Sunday.
So yeah, it's Yom Shishai in Israel.
So yeah, I guess not everyone is dealing
with the exact time space continuum
that we are currently dealing with.
But I feel to the major constituents
who listen to this show, who live in America
and abide by the calendar, yes, yes they are.
Just wanna say, you don't wanna leave anyone out, Claude.
So I've kinda put my foot in it this morning.
I don't know if I, I totally forgot to tell you this.
Already?
Yeah. It's so early.
Well, I had to wake up early, I had some content to film
and I was just getting a head start on my day
and I was eating breakfast and then this thought came to me
because I'm like getting really tired
of these pregnant bitches coming for my neck.
And I just told, like I told them what they needed to hear
and actually you are in what would be like the injured party
because you have been pregnant with a toddler.
Like, I'm just so tired of like, I'm making like,
I'm obviously talking about my pregnancy
because like that's what I'm dealing with.
And people would be like,
I just imagined doing this with a toddler.
It's like we get it, we know, we know it doing this with a toddler. It's like, we get it.
We know, we know it's harder.
No one is arguing with you.
We feel bad for you.
Like literally we would never wanna be you.
Like we get it.
But like it's so annoying to infringe
on someone else's suffering,
like because you are suffering more.
We get it.
So I made a TikTok this morning.
That's so crazy.
And technically I'm in an injured party,
but I would never say that to you,
let alone think that.
Like I also feel like-
No, it's the suffering Olympics.
It is, but also as you have children,
your level of what you can withstand just grows.
You just become stronger inside and out.
And in some ways, doing it the first time is the hardest.
So I'm not with those people,
and I would never say that to you.
No, it's just like, no one's really even arguing the point.
It's definitely harder to have to like chase around a toddler
and you can't just like rot in bed when you don't feel good.
Like I get it, but it's so fucking annoying to say.
And like, I'm tired of these bitches.
I like, it did cross my mind when I like first started
feeling sick.
I'm like, oh my God, like this is probably like, you know,
the only pregnancy that I'm going to have without a child.
Like, oh my God.
It's a real, we feel bad.
Like we get it.
We're not disagreeing with you,
but like it's annoying, shut up.
So I made a tech talk about it today.
I didn't know they were coming for you.
That's really crazy.
No, it's just this thing that like pregnant
in the Chronically Online pregnant community,
like it's every comment section,
just wait till you have a toddler running around.
Just wait till you chase me after a toddler.
Like I know it sounds literally horrible.
So.
I guess I also like can't really speak to it
because I was on bed rest.
Yeah, slay.
Life hack.
Slay.
Oh. Life hack.
And then I was thinking about you
cause I feel like when you got pregnant
was around the time like, Harry wasn't like a toddler yet.
He was not like walking, was he?
No, he was not walking.
Right, so that's like seriously not your problem.
It's the problem of the person who's carrying him.
And because you're pregnant, you can't physically carry him.
That's the life hack.
Get pregnant while you're first is still crawling.
Yeah, that's something.
But then you always do have to carry them.
But then at a certain point I couldn't carry him.
Right, so I just like was starting stuff
before TikTok gets banned,
like wanna make waves and start stuff.
Oh yeah, countdown to TikTok.
Do you hear the rumors that Elon might buy TikTok?
But then I also read this morning-
No, I didn't even hear that anywhere.
Oh, I heard light whispers
that like Elon's gonna buy TikTok or thinking about it.
And then I also saw that that is not true.
So I don't know-
Control Z.
I don't know if that's true whatsoever.
I have now seen a couple like very wealthy people discuss it.
Kevin O'Leary, allegedly Elon Musk,
Mr. Beast was talking about it.
Like what if they all just work together?
Yeah, I would like that.
But the thing is, and I heard this
at the Supreme Court hearing is like,
even if somebody buys it, the data center,
like something about like the actual technology
of the company cannot be unlinked from Byte,
which is the Chinese owned company.
And like therein lies the issue.
They like almost can't even sell it because it's,
I forget what the word is.
It's strictably linked.
Yeah, I forget what part of the company,
it's like it's data centers.
It's something cannot be unwoven.
Interesting.
So complicated, so glad it's not my job to deal with this.
Such a global issue.
Yeah, I don't have answers for you.
I mean, I do like get off TikTok,
but I know that's not gonna work for everyone.
No, it's not.
But yeah, glad that I don't have to sort out this mess.
Yeah, cause I have like a lot going on in my life.
Granted, I don't have a toddler, but I have a lot.
What's with you?
Not too much. Busy morning so far this morning.
We are out and about early.
So I'm just sort of sat now with my girl.
Nothing better.
Ready for some adult convo.
Oh, are we going to be talking about pornography?
No, but actually I went to an event last night.
I told you, you tried to call me.
Oh my God, I call Jackie, like I always do
when she's like, can't talk at an event.
Excuse me?
What event were you at?
PTA meeting?
I was, no, I was at an event.
It was really like a women's event.
Oh, women in tech?
The theme was, the theme,
and maybe I could bring some of my learnings
to the toast today, because it was all about manifesting.
Oh my God, wait.
In earnest, in like a very spiritual way
about like manifesting the things that you want
in your life.
And I'm not a big manifestor.
I think anyone who listens to the show would know
that about me.
I'm kind of like the opposite.
So I was really trying to be open-minded
and understand what manifesting not online,
but in its origins actually means.
Now, before you get into what you learned,
I need to know more about the context.
Like you need to give me more information
on the details of this class.
Was it a class?
So, I guess you could call it, it wasn't a class.
Was it a Torah class?
It was like at a restaurant.
No, it wasn't a Torah class, but it was,
it's, I think the women who run are like very into Kabbalah.
So it was spiritual.
Kabbalah, okay, okay.
And like God was in the room, you know,
because they were like the universe slash God,
whatever you believe, but like these are women.
Of faith, correct.
Yeah, yeah.
So it wasn't like an agnostic event.
I can't believe like you are saying these words.
Like.
I know, I know, but a friend of mine,
you actually, whom you know,
I'm not gonna start like dropping names,
but a friend of mine from this summer,
she was coming in for this event.
So she was like, come.
And then Olivia was like, oh, I'm going to that.
I didn't think you would wanna go.
Olivia was going?
Olivia was already going.
She's less, she is less universe manifest spirit
than you.
She kind of is though.
She's kind of is.
No, I could see her thinking it's like so stupid.
No, no, no.
She, no, she's not.
And she's been to like this event before.
So she was going and then my friend was going.
So I was like, okay, of course I'll go.
And it's all, it was all about manifesting.
So I really was just trying to learn
because I think of manifesting as like influencers
like printing out pictures on Pinterest
and like putting it on their vision board
and calling it a day.
But the original intention for manifesting,
it's much more than that.
And it's a lot about like positive affirmations
and like self-talk.
And like, there's a lot of steps towards manifesting.
All in which-
Are you joining the 12 step program?
It was like five or six steps.
And it's like, yeah, if you could do all those steps,
like you would be like a totally mentally healthy person. And probably bring into your life the things that you want like, yeah, if you could do all those steps, you would be like a totally mentally healthy person
and probably bring into your life the things that you want.
Yeah, but if I could do all those steps,
I wouldn't be at this class.
The steps are not as easy as just steps, you know?
So it was very interesting.
And I'm thinking, I really am thinking,
and also there was also a bit of meditation
because when you are manifesting
and you're going into your soul,
you're trying to think about the things
that you truly desire.
So it's a very relaxing exercise actually.
I was like, what do you truly desire?
Well, I'm not gonna share that with everyone.
Oh really? It's very personal.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, they brought out like these big like poster boards.
I'm like, we're not about to write down
like our hearts desires, are we?
Oh, I guess yet is like personal.
I gave mine away.
I was like, I'll write in my notebook.
Thanks. Did you bring, did you BYO?
The thing is they gave notebooks to everyone.
So it was so my kind of place.
So it was like worth it.
It was worth it for the free notebook.
So it's nice to think about as we go into the new year,
like what you wanna manifest yourself
in the first three months, six months, 12 months.
And the 12 month goals should be something
that seems so far fetched, you know?
But like the three and six months are the steps to get there.
Wow, I'm just, I'm in shock.
Honestly, this conversation and like this new line
of thinking like does feel like a betrayal.
No, I'm not saying this like,
it's nice to think differently for an evening, you know?
Sure.
Get in touch with your true self.
Sure.
You should try it, Turtee, just once.
I agree and understand,
and I don't think this is like specific to spirituality,
that you get out what you put in, right?
So if you walk through the world with a phibis and a punum
and a terrible energy and attitude,
that's what you're gonna receive.
Yeah.
And if you're a joyful, positive person
and you put out positive things in laughter and light,
that will come back to you.
You get out what you put in.
So I don't know if that's like a revolutionary philosophy,
but I agree with it, yes.
Yeah, that's part of it.
You know, putting out the good vibes,
which is always a good lesson.
Yeah.
Okay, wow.
Took a turn this morning.
Well, that's what I was up to.
What can I say?
Manifesting.
Manifest destiny.
Oh my God, me and Ben watched the funniest episode
of Curb last night.
Like we were just like, are on a curb kick.
It's like the one thing we can agree on
just like playing the background
and they charter a plane to go to a wedding
and the pilot needs everybody's weights
and nobody will give it.
Yeah.
And so they have to like land,
they have to make an emergency landing
and drop off their suitcases
because the plane is too heavy, whatever.
It was so fucking funny.
They go to this carnival and I guess it's like this,
you know, it's like this Mexican carnival
and there's a guy there who can guess anybody's weight.
So Larry like brings all the people over.
Oh, right.
I've seen this episode.
We talked about this episode before.
It's seriously peak comedy.
Yeah, when it aired, we were not okay.
Oh my God, it's seriously so funny.
Yeah. I was cracking up.
Oh my God, that's okay.
Nevermind.
I actually, maybe I'm having a little tissue.
That's so real.
If you're ever in a situation where you have to ask
like your friends for their weight.
I mean, it's not like, even when we're renting skis,
like you need to ask everyone.
They're like, oh, I'll fill it out myself.
Yeah, when Ben and I were first dating,
we were in Puerto Rico and we went parasailing. And the guy on the back of the boat was like, I just need like it out myself. Yeah, when Ben and I were first dating, we were in Puerto Rico and we went parasailing
and the guy on the back of the boat was like,
I just need like your rough weights.
And Ben was like, oh, I can like go
in like the other part of the boat or whatever.
I'm like, no, it's fine, 120.
And the guy was like, the guy was like, he gave me eyes.
He was like, I'm gonna give you another chance to-
Did you really try and lie?
Of course.
I said-
No, but then you're like, that's so risky.
I said 125.
And then he was like, and I gave him a look
and I was like, just, you know, do your worst.
Like overestimate, I don't give a fuck.
Then also, I'm always doing it in dangerous situations.
And if somebody's asking you for your weight in that sense,
like it's usually for your safety.
Like when I was on this,
me and Brian were in the British Virgin Islands
and we were island hopping
and you take these tiny fucking planes,
they needed my weight.
And I honestly hadn't weighed myself in months.
So I honestly, I didn't even know.
Your guess is as good as mine.
But round up.
Nah.
Round up, because seriously they need enough fuel
of what you want to be going down right before you hit land.
So I did tell Brian like right before we took off
that I lied about my weight.
And he was like, I'm literally a father.
Like.
Yeah.
I would, if I were traveling with you
I would go over on my weight, just like make up for your lie.
Wow.
Well, I just feel like I'm not going to be traveling anymore
if that's just like the state of travel.
I agree. I feel like we've reported on be traveling anymore if that's just like the state of travel. I agree.
I feel like we've reported on stories
where like even commercial airlines are like
starting to consider accounting for people's weight
when purchasing a ticket.
Yeah.
It's definitely a tough line to walk.
I just feel like I can't get hurt if anybody like,
no one's gonna be asking me,
am I waiting if I never leave my house, you know?
Yes.
It's just, you know, they're always asking
like for the right reasons,
but there's just never a right reason, you know?
Yeah, of course.
And like they don't do it in the most discreet way.
Now I know it's like a part of this parasailor's job,
but he should have pulled me to the side.
But don't you think if he pulled you to the side,
it'd be like, oh, why'd you think I'd be embarrassed?
Well, cause I'm fat.
Like I'm not stupid or blind.
I know I'm fat.
I was fat at the time, like extremely.
There's no right way to go about it.
And the funny part of the curb episode.
Actually you could give everyone a little slip of paper
and they could write it down.
Right.
That's the way to go about it.
The thing with the curb episode was that Larry
needed to collect them to give to the pilot.
And like they weren't comfortable giving it to Larry,
let alone the pilot.
And it was, it was the men too.
It was so fucking funny and so real.
I just loved it.
I know it's such a good episode.
It really is.
It's like season nine or 10.
We have a great episode today.
We have stories, Jessica Simpson is single
and that's kind of huge news for a select few
and that includes us.
We also have Dear Toasters.
That's number four for the year of couples.
Yes, by the way, Paige and Craig was technically December. But I wonder maybe this is starting a new batch of couples. Yes. By the way, Paige and Craig was technically December.
But I wonder maybe this is starting a new batch of three.
It also feels like people just drop big news
in the new year.
Or maybe people like kind of give themselves
till the end of the year.
And it's like, if we can't work it out,
like we're gonna start the new year on a new foot.
Part of it is strategic for sure.
And maybe it's just like high time
for breakups right now.
I wonder like-
Also the fire is like, maybe that's like a way of burying.
Cause I literally forgot about Jessica Alba. So much has happened since I- Oh a way of burying cause I literally forgot about Jessica Alba.
So much has happened since I-
Oh, I mean, we were always gonna forget about Jessica Alba.
She is forgettable.
Like I didn't forget about Paige and Craig.
It's just about-
No, of course not.
I can never, and I will never.
Did you see that Paige was at a football game
with another male?
However, I didn't see like anything untoward.
No, not untoward, but I like saw her sitting with a guy
at a game in a city that like she has no connection to.
Like why would she be at an Eagles game?
Cause her man's there.
Like.
Cause her man's, yeah.
I don't know.
I'm not jumping to conclusions, but like the odds
that he's not straight are kind of slim
cause they're at a football game.
Like, oh, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah. I know he's's he ain't gay.
Yeah, he was wearing like, he's just not gay.
He's not gay.
I didn't get a good look because my video was far away.
What did you say?
My video is far away too, but then I saw a photo of the man
and I got like a resume.
Oh, the name.
Oh, I didn't get that.
Oh, yeah, he works in sports like he's.
He ain't gay. So, so it was not that. I just got mystery man. He works in sports. Like he's, he ain't gay.
So it was a date for sure?
Not that gay people can't work in sports,
but I'm just telling you guys he's not gay.
So you think it's a date for sure?
Like why the hell else would she be there?
Oh my God. Okay.
I was trying to think, I'm like,
does it mean people in Albany root for the Eagles?
Like, no.
I was like really trying to make it make sense.
I'm like, no, they're, I'm in denial.
Yeah. Who were they playing?
I don't know.
Oh, I do know.
I don't know.
I think they were playing the Green Bay Packers
cause they were both wearing green.
Correct.
And Harry said, are those the green Cowboys?
And I was like, how is that going to answer this?
They're both green.
So then he said the Packers were wearing yellow.
That's what I overheard from the kitchen.
And when you're thinking of like ways to explain things
to your son, do you think like you're getting close
to the point to explaining to Harry
that cowboys don't equal football players?
They're just a specific team.
Cause Harry will see someone playing in the park football
and they'll say cowboys.
Yeah, but right now this is like, it works this way.
Blue cowboys, red cowboys.
Cool.
You know, like we're all on the same page.
1000%.
Yeah, but soon I'll start going through the teams.
Where do you even begin?
There are, that's literally not my job.
By the way, not my job.
Harry's gonna be on a podcast in 20 years.
Like when I was a kid,
I thought that all football players were called cowboys.
Like we're always talking about things
we thought when we were kids.
And like, that's the way
you're experiencing that with your son. It's talking about things we thought when we were kids. And like, that's the way you're experiencing that
with your son.
It's really cute to see it from the other side.
And it's very logical.
A hundred percent.
How we came to that conclusion.
So we also have dear toasters, cause it's Tuesday.
Also say it was, they were playing the Packers.
So maybe she has like a pack,
even though she was wearing the Eagles garb,
maybe there was a packer connection.
Listen, I'm down to clown with you and just like-
Someday we'll find it.
The packer connection.
I'm down to clown and like make stuff up
just to make ourselves feel better,
but like it was most likely a date.
Okay, get it girl, that's a nice date.
The lovers. In a box the dreamers, and me.
The dreamers and Paige.
Okay, let's get into the fast-fire stories that you need to know.

Today's episode is also brought to you by BetterHelp.
Thank you BetterHelp for sponsoring today's episode. The new year is always a good time to like get ahead of things,
get controlled, get organized. And if you've been thinking about giving therapy a shot,
you don't know where to start. Might I suggest Better Help? Every January brings you 365 blank
pages waiting to be filled. And in 2025, maybe you're ready for a plot twist or there's a part
of your story you've been wanting to revise. Life is not about resolutions
that fade by February. It's about picking up the pen and becoming the author of your own life.
So think of therapy as your editorial partner,
helping you write new chapters and create meaningful stories that you deserve to live. Better Help is done entirely online.
It makes therapy really affordable and convenient and they have served over 5 million people worldwide.
You can access a diverse network of more than 30,000 credentialed therapists
with a wide range of specialties
and you can easily switch therapists anytime
at no extra cost.
It's super accessible, it's super affordable.
I think a lot of people get nervous to do therapy
because it's like your innermost feelings,
things you've never said out loud.
And what's so great about therapy that's done online
like BetterHelp is that you can talk to your therapist
in any medium you feel comfortable.
So whether you wanna text with them, video chat,
phone call, like whatever you feel most comfortable with.
And they let you switch therapists at any time
because sometimes like in all different forms of therapy,
it takes like a couple of times
for you to find the right therapist, it's totally normal.
But in person, it can be awkward
to like call the office and cancel
and then like have to like look the person in the eyes.
It's just awkward.
And so BetterHelp just makes that really easy.

Our first story is the big shocking news of the day.
Jessica Simpson has split from her husband, Eric Johnson, after 10 years of marriage.
They called it a painful situation.
So Jessica Simpson told People Magazine in a statement today on Monday that Eric and
I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.
Our children come first and we are focusing on what is best for them.
We are grateful for all of the love and support
that has been coming our way
and appreciate privacy right now
as we work through this as a family.
This is devastating.
Like one, because I hate when like internet,
like eagle-eyed internet users are right.
Like there were a lot of rumors about them for a while,
her ring and she was out without him,
but all of it could be explained away.
And now it's like, well, they were right.
Yeah, I just feel like you can't really judge Jessica Simpson
based on her social media or like what she's doing.
She's not playing that game.
No, there's just like, she's so layered.
Whatever she winds up like posting social media,
it's just like one picture.
So if her husband hasn't been there in a while,
like doesn't necessarily mean anything,
but there have been rumors about this.
But I also feel like rumors have plagued them
throughout their entire marriage.
So at a certain point, it's like, listen, shut up.
We'll fight, like when they say what they say.
Now, if you read her book, which you absolutely should,
because it's the most amazing,
it's the most amazing book of all time.
It's really sad because they were,
really have been through so much together.
And I think that like only recently,
not like only,
maybe I would say in the last five or 10 years,
has she sort of been rebirthed.
Like she had went through this really tough struggle
with alcohol addiction and he was there, you know,
thick or thin supporting her, like kind of picking up
where she was putting down when it came to like the family
and the kids and she wrote about him with such respect
and such gratitude that it makes me really sad
that like now that things seem to be going much better
for her, they didn't make it.
Yeah, it does make me sad
cause he seemed like a good guy,
charming, happily ever after, you know,
you kind of write them off and don't worry about that.
Right.
So when someone comes out of retirement like that,
you hate to see it.
They have a big family.
She seems really happy.
And then they say a painful situation.
So this isn't the usual, you know,
schedules, privacy, just didn't make it, love them.
Yeah, and of course it begs the question
of what we were talking about last week
in regards to Jessica Alba.
This is another woman who makes significantly more money
than her husband.
He's like a former football player.
He didn't really like achieve greatness in that.
But where I feel like,
I think I know them a little bit better
than I knew Jessica Alba and her husband
because I read her book
and he was an extremely involved parent.
Eric, is that his name?
I literally don't even know his name.
Like super, super dad almost.
So I feel like he will get a large settlement
because she owns a billion dollar company.
And I actually, this is a rare scenario
where I am okay with it.
Like I think he earned his living.
Do you know what I mean?
But I also think that because of what happened
with Nick Lachey, she probably has a pretty strong prenup
and isn't gonna have to give half
just like she did to Nick Lachey. But strong prenup and isn't gonna have to give half, just like she did to use the shea.
No, not half, but a prenup is helpful,
but in a marriage where you were together for so many years,
you built a huge part of your business during that time
and you have three children together,
like the court, it's illegal for you to walk away.
You still can get like child support and alimony,
but you don't just automatically get half.
No, no, no, he's not gonna get half,
but I think she'll give him like a big chunk
unless it could ended really poorly.
Like, I feel like maybe if Kelly Clarkson marriage
had ended like in a more amicable way,
she would have been okay giving him a big settlement
and then monthly payments for the kids and whatever.
But she had so much resentment because he was such a shit
that he didn't deserve it.
I feel like I need to know what happened between these two.
Pain where?
Where's the pain?
Who caused the pain?
Was it an accidental pain or an intent?
Was it an affair?
On this pain chart, show me how bad it is, one to five.
Yeah, on this pain chart.
I'm sorry, that's just like a crazy vague term,
but also pretty specific considering they could have not
included that and just been like,
unless they're saying- marriage is running forced.
It's painful because the marriage is ending.
Is that the cause of the pain
or was there a different pain that caused the end?
Eric and I have been living separately,
navigating a painful situation in our marriage.
So there was a situation that led to the end of the marriage.
That wording is intentional.
Something happened.
Now, I feel like, you know,
I always try to look at both sides
when there's a devastating breakup
and get excited about like the girl going out
and like maybe reconnecting with John Mayer.
But to be honest, like I don't have that sort of feeling.
I feel like what I took away from her book was that like,
not only does she require,
but she really thrives in like stable environments.
And I think he was really that for her.
And I think maybe the marriage would have ended
a little while ago if she didn't really cling
to that sort of stability.
So I don't wanna see her like,
that's not, I think what's even best for her,
like out and about, you know, dating around Hollywood.
Like I liked that she had this guy
who was like kind of a nobody, like, yeah,
he played football, like tell me what team,
I'll give someone a million dollars
if they know what team he played for.
Like it was just this kind of good situation they like, yeah, he played football. Like, tell me what team, I'll give someone a million dollars if they know what team he played for. Like, it was just this kind of good situation they had,
random, but good.
Yes, but Jessica Simpson, like, is a lover
and she actually probably will have a new relationship
because she's a relationship girl.
There are so many people in her book
who she had like real relationships with,
not just like, and I don't think she's like a fling person,
but I think she likes being in a relationship.
So when the dust settles from this,
I think she will want that again,
because I think she likes that partnership.
Well, maybe her neighbor slash mom friend,
Kim Kardashian could set her up with someone.
She runs in a very, very cool, powerful circle.
She lives in that neighborhood.
Her kids play soccer with the Wests and the Kardashians.
Like she is right for a good setup.
I guess like if Kim could set someone,
if she had all these bachelors, like one for Kim self,
two for Chloe, like let's get it popping.
Well, Chloe had said that she doesn't want to date
until the kids are grown.
I know, but-
The heart wants what the heart wants.
Can't fight fate, right?
So true.
If she, like the right man walked up to her.
But I also feel like the men that Kim knows,
like obviously don't work for Kim
and therefore they wouldn't work for Khloe.
But Jessica's totally different, you know?
Yeah, Jessica is totally different.
And she's kind of this like free spirit.
Even though she likes athletes too.
Yeah, but it's different.
He wasn't like an athlete, you know what I mean?
But Tony Romo?
Well, he's so happily married and I would never ever ever wish ill on him and his family. They have a beautiful life together. They're like Texas royalty.
No, I'm just saying just that she likes athletes. Tony Romo, Eric.
No, but I was just gonna say like having said that, I shit.
What about John Mayer?
Well, you know, I've recently gotten over in a very public way, my crush on John Mayer for many years.
Like it was him, he was the end all be,
and I felt really good about the fact that like Ben
didn't like not look like John Mayer, you know?
They're not twins, but,
and I've recently just started to find him like unattractive,
not even like in a physical sense, like yes, you know,
he's not aging in the way that I had hoped,
but you know what I mean?
Like overall, like his vibes, like some of the things,
it gives me the ick a little bit.
Like I'm just over him.
So maybe at one point, like these two reuniting
would have been the best thing to ever happen to me,
but not only does he give me the ick, I also don't think,
like now I'm suspicious of like men who,
all he says he wants to get married,
he wants to be in a relationship,
I'm a relationship guy.
You're literally almost 50,
you could be married a hundred times if you wanted. Like you never, even in his lyrics, he talks about like how he wants to be in a relationship, I'm a relationship guy. You're literally almost 50, you could be married a hundred times if you wanted.
Like you never, even in his lyrics,
he talks about like how he wants to have kids.
It's like, well, you don't.
Yeah.
Like a woman can want to have kids and not,
like it cannot happen for her.
But if a man wants to have kids, like he can have kids.
It's not a choice.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
It is a choice.
It's just easier for them.
It's like the minute they decide.
So he's like, you're not serious.
And it's like, well, you're almost 50 now.
We're still doing this.
Like grow up.
Speaking of John Mayer, Sabrina Carpenter,
did you see Harry Jowsey was on Kristin Cavallari's podcast
and he said that he DMs Sabrina and wants to go out with her
and Claudia, the way I ship.
And I think it's, first of all,
I think compatibility wise, they would really,
like they're both really funny.
Looks wise, they're a total match.
They're a total match.
I think that they would really work out.
And then also celebrity wise,
I think that would be a really good match for her.
Like someone in the spotlight,
but not totally what she does
and would totally look up to her
and treat her like the queen that she is.
Like, I need this to happen.
Yeah, you need to check your DMs.
He's not dragged.
People were like, you think the biggest pop star, you're literally from too hot to handle. Yeah, I do think, I need this to happen. So Nina, check your DMs. He got dragged. People were like, you think the biggest pop star,
you're literally from too hot to handle.
Yeah, I do think.
I do think.
And I agree, like on the surface, you're like, what?
But the more you really think about it
and really what she needs,
also you have to think about the fact
that like she's very comfortable in her sexuality
and she's kind of like freaky for sure, you know?
And like nobody is more open about their freakiness
than, what's his name? Harry what's the same Harry Chowsey.
I agree.
At first I was like, wait,
and then I saw a picture a side by side of them together.
I'm like, they almost looked like cousins.
You know, I'm like, oh, it's perfect.
Not that like cousins should fuck,
but like they have the same sort of like aura.
They have the same aura.
And I just, I really wholeheartedly endorse that.
Yeah. And even if it's just like Mr. wholeheartedly endorse that.
Yeah, and even if it's just like Mr. Right Now, not Mr. Right, like I don't think they're gonna get married,
but I think that would be really fun for Sabrina.
Yeah.
And like it would be nice to be with somebody
who's like actually handsome and tall.
Do you know what I mean?
Like it would just to change it up for Sabrina.
Yeah, something new.
Something new.
It could be the start of something new.
Feels so right to be here with Harry Jowsey.
Oh.
I like Harry Jowsey.
Those clips were cracking me up.
I like Harry Jowsey too, actually.
I think it's really impressive what he's done
with his modicum of fame.
Yeah, so as like Sabrina's number one fan,
the Carpenters endorse.
Carpentators, yeah.
Our next story, another celebrity is postponing
a big announcement.
Beyonce has pumped the brakes on her big reveal
as LA is on fire.
So Beyonce was set to announce something huge today
and she's put it on ice as the wildfires continue
to cut a destructive path across Los Angeles. She issued a statement on Monday night
saying the January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due
to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles.
Yeah so like it's weird to postpone to announce to announce a postponement of
an announcement. To of an announcement?
To announce an announcement
and then announce the postponement of the announcement.
Of said, announce it.
Having said that, like she was in a bad spot, you know?
Like she couldn't go radio silent
because everybody's like, Beyonce, what's up?
And like, it's sort of like tacky to like make,
even though I do think now she could make it
without it being like out of touch.
Like I think that enough time has passed
where it's like obviously the devastation is still ongoing
but like it's more under control.
And I just don't think it would have been
like the worst thing if she had done it.
I don't think it's tasteless or tacky
for people to announce things right now.
However, I think it's not the best business
because you're not gonna be able to promote it
as much as you want.
And it's gonna get lost in the news cycle.
And so it's better to just postpone it
so you can have the moment that you want.
But it does beg the question,
what's the announcement that she's announcing?
It's postponed.
I know, because I don't think it's an album.
I think it's a tour.
Yeah.
Cowboy Carter tour.
Which sounds so fun, honestly.
Yeah, probably.
And maybe she was like wanting that momentum
from the halftime show.
Yeah.
But now she's postponing the announcement.
Yeah.
But I am feeling like tour, but I-
Although I feel like when there's like a big stadium tour
coming out, like people, it always gets leaked.
Oh really?
Yeah, because people who like work at the stadiums
get like an email about, you know, upcoming tour schedule and it like,
I feel like it always gets leaked.
Oh, well then maybe not.
But what else could it be?
I don't know.
It's an album.
No, yeah.
She has her hair Caroline,
like I don't think it's a line of goods.
Retirement, perchance?
That would be crazy.
If Beyonce was just like, I'm retiring.
No, I don't think so.
I don't think you have to set a date to announce that.
Not only that, like she's a business woman
and you don't go out while you're on top.
Like there's more money to be made.
So when did she postpone it till?
I'm not sure.
I mean, there's no way to know.
And honestly, I feel like if she were to set another date,
write what down?
I'm gonna write it down.
It's just things to follow up on.
Yeah, yeah.
Things to circle back on.
I'm loving having a pen and paper, let me tell you.
And I also, of course, need to circle back
with Keeping Up With Sports.
Yeah, that's sort of the inspiration behind the list.
It should be called the Keeping Up List.
They should announce the premiere of their podcast
on our. On the toast, agreed.
Keeping Up With Sports.
So this is just my follow-up list.
Yeah, whatever happened to blank?
Yeah.
I like that.
Whatever happened to Meghan's podcast with Lemonada?
Add it to the list.
Lemonada podcast, Lemonada x Meghan.
That's weird.
What did happen to that?
Meghanada.
It's happening, but not before Netflix.
Did you see Ms. Rachel is now like on Netflix?
I did.
I know you're over her.
I'm over her too.
Yeah, no, I'm not into her.
But I just wanna say, I've clowned on her
for like being a communist with like her inability.
No, she put her business woman pants on.
Yeah, it's her inability to like franchise
and like make money.
And no, it should have been on Netflix for a while.
Yeah, she got a taste of the luxury life.
I think she's like also announced like she has toys.
I think she's got a book.
Like, yeah.
She always had like, like good revenue streams,
but at the level that she like influences young minds,
like if that were me, I actually would be retired
and I would be a multi multi-billionaire many times over.
And so I just always thought like she was kind of lacking
that entrepreneurial spirit.
And now I feel like you're right.
She got a taste of the high life and she wants more.
It's true.
She's got a big, a big appetite.
A hundred percent.
So I guess we'll wait to see what Beyonce's announcement
was going to be.
Very exciting and very vague.
Very vague, yeah.
You're probably right about a tour.
I think that makes sense.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our next story?
A little music news as Carrie Underwood will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration.
So the inauguration committee has announced some of the-
Inauguration?
Inauguration committee has announced some performers, speakers, et cetera.
And the most recognizable name is Carrie Underwood
will be singing America the Beautiful.
She said, I love our country and I'm honored
to have been asked to sing at the inauguration
and to be a small part of this historic event,
I'm humbled to answer the call at a time
when we must all come together in the spirit of unity
and looking to the future.
Now, I think a lot of people were really shocked by this.
Like probably one of the first like truly mainstream, popular, actually, no, I'm like lot of people were really shocked by this. Like probably one of the first,
like truly mainstream popular,
actually, no, I'm like Jason Aldean,
but like it's very rare for a celebrity,
like an elite to get involved with Trump.
And so a lot of people are really shocked by it.
Even though I feel like if you've been paying attention
to Carrie Underwood over the last couple of years,
like there's no way like she would have not been conservative.
Like she makes her own yogurt.
Like she's so like, do you know what I mean?
She's so like granola, like for sure.
She's getting a lot of backlash,
but I will say it did spawn for me.
Now people are like reminding like all these old clips.
I've watched like a million compilation videos,
like eight celebrities you didn't know performed
at previous inaugurations from the last like two
or three presidents.
And I was actually really shocked to find that Miss Kelly
Clarkson gave one of the worst performances I've ever seen.
I forget, I think it was Obama's first.
And she sang like one of the, you know, God bless America,
not the, not the anthem, but like one of the follow-up songs.
It was so bad.
And I've actually never heard Kelly sing poorly.
I highly encourage you guys to just like look it up
on YouTube. You won't be shocked.
She might've like started in the wrong key.
Something happened. Like something went wrong.
I mean, no Kelly can sing. It's not,
I would love to know what happened.
Like it was so bad.
That is so crazy.
I did not know that.
But yeah, usually like the last inauguration,
Jay-Z performed Gaga.
So-
Beyonce famously.
Beyonce famously.
And actually, but my little research trip,
Tommy is actually Hillary Duff
was at George Bush's inauguration.
A lot of people don't know that.
She was there?
Did she sing?
She didn't sing.
She was just there.
Phew.
Yeah.
So it's like, I feel like it's like a big deal now,
but it almost just becomes like a part of history.
Cause we don't talk about, you know,
Hillary Duff at Bush or Kelly Clarkson at Biden,
or was it Biden?
I think it was Obama.
Like we don't talk about it.
It just sort of becomes like a part of American history.
So now in the moment, it's like there's backlash or we're all talking about it, but I don't talk about it, it just sort of becomes like a part of American history. So now in the moment, it's like there's backlash
or we're all talking about it, but I don't know.
I just feel like it becomes like cemented in history
and we all just move on from it.
Yeah, and I think for some artists,
I think some artists like are very political
and would never like cross a line or perform for someone.
But I think for other people, like it's really an honor.
It is a huge honor to perform at inauguration
for the entire country, like,
and to see it as a unifying experience.
Like I think that is a nice thing.
And also for the people watching,
I want some good performers.
I want some beautiful renditions
of our beautiful country's beautiful songs.
Also, and I think Jelly Roll was just talking about this
because he was at a UFC fight and he met Trump
and some of his followers were like,
I can't believe you met Trump.
And his response was like, are you guys kidding me?
I'm like, I was in jail.
I got to meet a president.
I don't give a fuck which one it is.
It's such an honor to meet any president.
I've never met a president, have you?
No.
No.
It's such an honor.
I don't know how to think about that, but no.
Yes, you could look at everything so politically,
but for me, like I grew up so poor,
I literally went to jail.
Like I'm now here like in rooms with presidents,
like, yeah, I'm gonna say hi and be respectful.
I don't give a shit who the president is.
So I think a lot of people come to it with that POV,
like just being asked.
Some people are inherently political
and they are not willing to get involved
on a side that doesn't-
On certain side.
Yeah, like they would only On certain side. Yeah.
Like they would only do one side.
Right.
Which I think there are people that would do
both sides, either side.
And then there's some people who are just thirsty
and it's like, yeah, millions of people are watching.
Like these bills aren't going to pay themselves.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So I look forward to seeing what she does with it.
I just watched her perform on New Year's Rockin' Eve
cause now she's like really back out there.
She's an American Idol judge.
So she did ABC's, New Year's, and she's giving it her all.
Yeah, she definitely, like she never took time off
because she's always been touring.
If you've been following Carrie, like there's new music,
there's new albums, there's new tours.
But I think from like real public life,
she's actually very private
and she doesn't like show up and do a lot of stuff.
She has like a private family life too.
Also, you know, there's like a lot of rumors about her
and her family is all like, you know.
Yeah, but she seems well.
She does seem well and she was good on Rockin' Eve.
Yeah, not my favorite song choices though
would be my criticism as a big Carrie fan.
I saw her perform somewhere.
Was it stagecoach?
Maybe something like that.
And she wasn't like a headliner.
I was like particularly like looking,
I was like, I want Luke Holmes and Morgan Wallen.
But she was fucking amazing.
No, I seriously love her.
And, um.
And have you seen her size?
It's like actually the craziest thing.
Her concert DVD is coming out on Hulu soon.
Remember that was a story.
Right it's her.
She's like very much in the news right now.
She's doing a lot.
Maybe she got bills to pay or something.
Yeah, no, she wants to promote her concert DVD.
So this is a really good platform.
The thing you're looking for is like a concert movie.
It's no longer called a concert DVD grandma.
No, but Claudia, like it's a concert DVD.
I know, what are we calling it?
Like Taylor reputation, it's like a Eres Tor movie.
Like concert streaming on streamers.
Yeah, we need to come up with official replacement
for concert DVD.
I guess it's a concert movie.
But sometimes they make it like documentaries,
Shawn Mendes Wonder, like, it's just different.
Right, right, oh my God, do not.
I won't get started on my diet.
No, no, no, I'm sorry, that's not what I was saying.
Do not make it a documentary as well.
Oh no.
If I'm turning on your concert DVD,
it's because I want the bangers.
Oh my God, I forgot to tell you the most interesting page
I ended up on.
Okay, page.
Like someone's page.
Okay.
You know me, I interact a lot on social media
with Katy Perry.
Like I am a fan of hers begrudgingly.
Yeah.
So I ended up on Katy Perry China,
which is like a Twitter account just dedicated
to Katy Perry updates.
There's a million of them.
Like you wouldn't think anything of it, right?
Like it's like a fan account that shows paparazzi pictures, but the person who runs Katy Perry China,
fucking hates Katy Perry.
I saw some of the nastiest tweets about Katy Perry
on a fan account of hers.
So Katy Perry was seen leaving CVS
with Orlando Bloom and Daisy.
And you want to bring them those nasty fucking tweets here.
I do, I do, because it was seriously so crazy.
Okay.
So Katy Perry was seen leaving like a CVS with, fucking tweets here. I do, I do because it was seriously so crazy. Okay.
So Katy Perry was seen leaving like a CVS with Orlando
and the baby Daisy.
And Daisy like starts to have like a tantrum
like leaving the CVS and she like won't get in the car.
Like classic toddler.
So this is Katy Perry China, ready?
The pictures of Katy, like the paparazzi pictures
of Katy, Daisy and Orlando.
Breaking news, Daisy cried.
Was it her evil mother who wouldn't buy her a toy?
Katy Perry and Linda Bloom and their daughter,
Daisy shopped at CVS on January 10th, 2025 in Santa Barbara.
Daisy was found bursting into tears.
So I was like, oh my God, were they hacked?
Like it was such a crazy,
and the account is Katy Perry China.
And I was like, there's literally no way.
So the next tweet comes up.
This is why no one wants to have kids these days.
Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and their daughter Daisy
were shopping at CVS.
As they were leaving, Daisy started throwing a tantrum,
causing a scene in front of bystanders
and embarrassing her celebrity parents via the Daily Mail.
Jackie, it is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Why is somebody dedicating their life
to a Katy Perry fan account
when they literally hate Katy Perry?
I mean, that's just people, right?
Jackie, it was so funny.
Her evil parents.
Was it her evil mother who didn't buy her a toy?
Like seriously crazy, the internet.
Says, oh, there's a new TikTok account that you would love.
Oh, send it to me, what is it?
It's called like Daily Mail History or something.
So they like write headlines and things
like as if what was happening in like the 1500s
was happening right now.
Cause I saw it and I was like,
I thought it was a real Daily Mail headline.
It's like breaking Catholicism to become
banned by the church
of England. I was like, wait, what?
And it was like from the 1700s,
like Henry the eighth or whatever.
You would love it.
It's like, it's far, it's money and it's money and fart.
Smart and funny.
That's funny.
Stassi was trying to get me on TikTok by like teasing these
like good historical accounts.
She was like, there's stuff for you.
There is stuff for you. Let me tell you what the account is called. She was like, there's stuff for you. There is stuff for you.
Let me tell you what the account is called.
She's given up.
Maybe they're on Reels.
It's called history mail.
History mail.
That is a history mail.
Okay.
The Greeks have gifted the Trojans a wooded horse.
Pieces close inside reports state.
It's such a funny concept.
Scientists invent what they call a wheel,
which is said to change the world.
Experts say it's too complicated for widespread use.
That is so funny.
Small city filled with mainly criminals named Rome
is trying to expand its territory.
Experts say it won't get far.
That is funny.
I shall follow.
Oh, are they on reels?
They are on reels.
And hopefully, you know, it's history male.
Who do they? Okay.
Well, thanks for that detour.
Are you ready for our next story?
Yeah.
Our next story is some bad news
because Brittany and Patrick Mahomes have welcomed
baby number three, a girl. So Brittany and Patrick Mahomes have welcomed baby number three, a girl.
So Brittany and Patrick Mahomes shared
that their daughter was born.
Her name is Golden Ray Mahomes.
And I just can't wait for Taylor Swift
to invite her to get up to get the 22 hat and say,
and it's golden, golden.
Cute, like celebrities like often do crazy things
and so the Mahomes is, I didn't know this,
but apparently like they have like a metal theme
within their family.
Their kids are named steel, their dogs are named like.
I don't know.
The daughter is Sterling Sky, so Sterling.
Which is a normal name,
Sterling itself is a fine like normal name.
And then the son is his first name is Patrick,
but they call him bronze.
Okay, well he has a real name.
So the thing.
Oh, I'm sorry, because he's Patrick Mahomes,
the third bronze.
Oh, that's cute.
Love.
Like that.
And then golden.
So yeah, while the theme is like kind of crazy celebrity,
whatever each name individually isn't that crazy.
No, not at all.
I would say golden is probably like the least conventional
in terms of like, I don't know if I would say golden
is like a name, but it's pretty and it's not crazy.
No, it's not.
That's very nice.
I'm happy for Brittany and Patrick.
Of course.
But also I think it lines up nicely.
Like I think they have a break this week.
So, you know.
Do you think she'll be at the playoff games?
A hundred percent.
One thing about Brittany Mahomes,
like she doesn't miss a game.
It's true.
And she like bounces back.
She's like, oh, we just had a baby,
but it's a Superbowl.
Like she-
Like I would actually think this is the worst timing
to have a baby like during the playoffs.
Cause like this is when you're truly out of commish.
Right.
She'll be there.
Brittany Mahomes, she doesn't miss a game.
No. And when your husband has a $500 million contract,
like you can take private planes, you can hire nannies.
And I feel like she puts her husband's money to work.
And I love that for her.
She could get a bed in the suite
and she could be sat in bed watching the game.
She probably is gonna get like a wet nurse.
Like that's what I would do if I had all that money.
Like I would get a jet, a wet nurse, a bed,
and we would just travel the country with my man.
Yeah.
Sounds kind of nice.
It honestly does.
And it's not her first, it's not her second.
Like I feel like by the third, you're just,
you're just like.
You're on the go.
Yeah.
And she's already like a go-go girl.
100%.
Well, happy for them.
Me too.

Our fifth and final story is a little memoir news.
Who's writing one?
Memoirs of a Brookie.
Brooke Shields' memoirs have come out.
She's been in the news a lot of headlines
about excerpts from her book.
Her book is called, are you ready for it?
Shield Me Forever, something like that.
No, it's literally so bad.
It's so long.
Brooke Shields is not allowed to get old.
Thoughts on aging as a woman.
What?
That's the name of the book.
That's the name of a...
Ted Talk.
It's not even, it's a sentence.
No, it's the name of a college paper.
Oh my God.
They're getting worse and worse.
Honestly, me and Ben have been watching
so much Barefoot Contessa
because he's like seriously obsessed with that
and he's like literally sits and writes notes.
And-
Can you tell him to get ready when the luck hits?
Yeah, and then he was showing me something,
he was like, that's the name of her book.
I'm like, yeah.
Well, here's what Brooke Shields is sharing.
She's actually, a lot of like headlines have come out
about stuff that she's sharing on her press store
and things from her book.
But she said that Tom Cruise actually privately
expressed remorse over his ridiculous rant
about her use
of antidepressants she revealed in her memoir.
So the book was published today and she said that the actor
eventually said sorry to her.
She said it wasn't the world's best apology,
but it's what he was capable of and I accepted it.
That was a big part.
So it's interesting because she had a documentary
that I feel like really shook everyone.
A lot of celebrities do documentaries,
but hers like really made conversations, made waves.
And I think it ushered in this new era
of like Brooke Shields appreciation.
And this took a hard look at like how Hollywood
is really fucking obsessed with young girls
in a really disgusting way.
And she, she bared the brunt of a lot of it at the time.
So I feel like she got a lot of it out in the documentary.
And I'm sure the success of the documentary
made it easier for her to like sell a book. But I wonder what's in the book of it out in the documentary. And I'm sure the success of the documentary made it easier for her to like sell a book.
But I wonder what's in the book
that wasn't in the documentary.
I don't know.
Maybe it seems to be also a focus on aging as a woman.
So like with not so much like a life story
as it is like a woman's story.
Right.
I mean, and the documentary was actually
a lot about her mother.
Yeah.
Who was like, you know.
So I think this is more about her
and where she's at in her life.
And so she talks about the beef with Tom Cruise
from back in the day
and how he eventually apologized in his way.
But that was the craziest part of the documentary
because she was like one of the first women
to ever publicly speak about postpartum depression.
And she had it it really bad.
She had to, I think, get treatment for it, outpatient.
It was really, really bad, and she was like,
nobody's talking about this, and I think she spoke
about it on Oprah or something.
And people fucking came for her, Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise, one thing about him, at least he's consistent.
He is seriously the biggest loser on the planet, I'm sorry.
They try to make me like him with Top Gun
and his movie star, I get get it, like Jerry Maguire,
but he is a fucking loser and he always has been.
I'm sorry.
I hate him.
Yeah. We're back there.
Yeah. We're back.
All of the Olympics closing ceremony.
All the progress.
Yeah.
Every time one step forward, three steps backwards.
Like I just, I actually can't, there are some people
I think I can like willfully like ignore
and just like be blind to their flaws.
Like Tom Cruise is so problematic.
I'm sorry, hate.
Yeah.
Well, I actually, I think that this book is a good book.
Like I would trust her to write a memoir.
I feel like every time she's like speaking
or giving an interview, she just has a lot of say,
a lot to say she has a lot of wisdom
and she's been in the industry for so long.
So even though the title is like not my favorite title,
I think this will be a good book.
So if you need it, let us know.
Is the title not my favorite title?
It's probably one of my least favorite titles.
It's up there with when the luck starts or whatever.
What's it called?
Be ready when the luck hits.
It's frustrating when celebrities have bad names
for their memoirs, but it's especially frustrating
when like the public can easily think of like five that are so good,
Barefoot Confessor.
Barefoot, it should have been called Barefoot Confessions.
Like that's just it.
Like obviously I would have liked Barefoot Confessa,
but okay, Confessions.
Like when there's such an obvious choice
and you decide to not only not choose it,
but go with the worst one ever,
that's especially frustrating.
Yeah.
And what was Josh Gad's?
I remember we just were talking about it and it was good.
I think it was like, are you there Gad?
It's me, something like that.
Oh, Josh Gad memoir is called,
In Gad We Trust.
Funny, funny.
So.
But he's a funny man.
Like not everyone wants to be funny.
People want to be funny.
They don't have to be funny.
Barefoot Confessions is not funny.
So the way that they did her title on the cover
is better than in spoken word.
Cause it says Brooke Shields at the top
as if she's the author and then is not allowed to get old.
Okay. It's really long.
Thoughts on aging as a woman.
Let's do dear toasters, our weekly advice segment
where every Tuesday, Jackie and I will read three submissions
from the swirlies in need.
Now, if you're a swirly and you find yourself in need
and you want to reach out to us,
you can head over to our website, thetospodcast.com,
or you can head over to your email
and send us an email, deartosters.gmail.com.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Okay, this one actually made me laugh.
Hey, Swirlies, happy new year.
I'm in dire need of your help.
My husband has been in a fantasy football league
for 15 years, and until this year,
he's never even come close to winning.
Last weekend, he was beyond stressed and just awful snapping at me and just being a big weenie.
In the end he lost. I had already gone to bed but I could hear him storming around I even heard him
crying when he came into the bedroom. I got the biggest ick since I was pretending to be asleep
when all this happened. How do I address it with him? Sincerely, wife of a big football crying weenie.
How do I address it with him? Sincerely, wife of a big football crying weenie.
Oh my gosh.
I feel like you have to let it go.
Like you don't address it.
It just needs to be something like you yourself
and you know.
Like you never saw it or heard it.
I like really hope that he wins one day,
but I just, I don't think there's anything to say
unless he brings it up because it's affecting him so much.
But maybe you just need to let it out.
And today's a new day.
It's really tough when like you see someone doing something
that they were doing in private and like you-
You can't judge people for what they did in private.
When they thought nobody was watching.
Now that person being your partner makes it even more
awkward because you're supposed to not have secrets.
But yeah, I agree with Jackie.
I don't think you can address this.
You just need to know your man is crazy
and this is really important to him and let him cry.
Better luck next year.
Yeah.
I think it's innocent.
The coming in and crying.
Well, you know me.
How much money is on it?
My initial thought was like,
oh, your man has a gambling problem
because like seriously crying is really crazy.
And like maybe he is in debt.
Maybe it's a pretty big pot and he needed the money.
Maybe he's in debt and he's like not sharing that with you.
So I could see more sinister
and more nefarious things going on here.
Now I feel like I'm always saying like,
your husband's gambling out of your husband's gay.
So I was refraining, but I do think like,
if you wanted to look further into this,
you might find something more sinister.
Cause this is not normal.
This is not normal behavior.
Or maybe like he, he's not in debt,
but he was looking forward to getting that money
and like doing something really exciting for himself.
Or maybe like taking you on a trip and he's crying,
thinking about like you guys on the beach.
Like to be clear, he was not crying,
thinking about you guys on the beach.
Like maybe he was crying cause like he had his eyes on a Rolex
and now he can't get it.
Like maybe something like that.
Yeah.
But I think it's important to be like, you know,
realistic here.
He was not planning a beach front vacation for you guys.
I just feel like if you want,
since you can't speak to him about it,
if you want to like make yourself feel better,
just think about the fact that he was gonna buy you a Birkin
and he's crying because he can't.
I cry too.
If you can't let this go,
while I don't think talking to him about it
is gonna solve anything,
like do a little digging into the financials.
Like you might find something.
Just make sure that we're in the green.
Yeah.
Cause it is like sort of crazy behavior.
I know men get like really into sports and like,
but to lose a fantasy league,
especially when you lose all the time,
like yeah, to get close and then lose, it's even harder,
but like crying is actually like lunacy
and it actually, it's really crazy.
I think he had big plans and big dreams.
For a big trip.
For a big trip and he was gonna renew your vows.
Yeah, and that's why he's crying.
Okay, ready?
Hey Jackson Claude, I'm in desperate need of your advice.
My boyfriend, 6'3", Buff, works in finance.
He's a P-John.
Our relationship is fantastic.
But every time we visit his parents, I really start to cringe at him.
He's 29 years old and he's still in all seriousness calls his parents mommy and daddy.
He'll say something like, mommy, can you make me a sandwich?
Or daddy, can you pass the salt?
I'm sitting there wondering
if I should start packing my bags
or just quietly slip out the back door.
I haven't said anything
because I don't know if I need to get over myself
or if this is grounds for a conversation.
Please help.
Now I just have to come to the table and say something.
Your husband does this.
My husband picks up the phone.
Hi mommy, hi daddy.
I never thought until this moment that it was weird.
He has, I think like a very normal healthy relationship
with his parents, they're really close,
but I don't think it borders on like, like weird.
Now you got me like, obviously like rethinking things.
Like, I think it's maybe like, I mean, Ben's six one.
I don't know, I don't know.
I've never thought it was weird.
So I want to say this might be a you thing.
What I was gonna say is like,
even if it feels weird when you hear it
and you don't like it, like this is not a deal breaker.
And it's also not something that I think
that you could say to him.
Like after 29 years,
you need to start calling his parents something else.
So I think that it's something that you just have to like
learn to ignore.
And when you hear it, like in one ear out the other,
because why ruin a good thing?
This is not a deal breaker.
No, and I'm sorry, if you're willing to give up
a P John man who works in finance and is six,
what did you say?
Six, three.
Six, three, like who the fuck do you think you are?
Like we're just giving up perfectly good men
because they called their moms mommy.
No, it's, that's what I say when like it culture
has gone way too far.
Yep.
That we're actually considering like giving up
a good relationship because of the three times a year
he sees his parents, like he says something
that like puts you off.
Yeah.
No, you actually need to get a grip.
Like this is one of the situations where I want to shake
the toaster in question and be like,
he's a good man, Savannah.
Like what are you doing?
And also maybe like you could like run interception.
Like you make the sandwich before he could ask his mom,
like you get the salt.
Like so that he does not need to address his parents at all.
Now that's unreasonable.
Like a person is gonna live in a house for a couple of days
and have to address the person's house
that they're staying at.
Now, and I don't think you should,
but if you did wanna like try and get him to stop saying it,
you could like tease him being like,
mommy, like what are you six?
And like maybe he doesn't even realize it
and then slowly he'll stop.
But I think like you'll just come off like naggy
and bitchy for no reason.
And he's gonna write to his podcast,
like I call my mom, mommy and daddy
something that's really special.
Dear good guys.
It's really something that's really special to me
and my whole family does it and it really like bonds us
and my girlfriend is making fun of me.
And then Ben, the host who also calls his mom,
mommy and daddy is gonna tell you to break up with that girl
because she doesn't understand good men like you.
And then you're gonna lose your perfectly good boyfriend.
So stop it.
Just ignore it.
Ignore.
Okay, are you ready for our last one?
Yes.
Okay, hey Jackson Claude, any advice?
My mother-in-law has made so many comments
about my weight gain.
She did it over the holidays
and I don't know how to deal with it.
Comments in front of his entire family,
aunts, uncles, brothers.
At one point his 20 year old brother
actually stuck up for me because he felt so bad.
The worst comment was being when she gave me a sweater
for Christmas and I opened it in front of everyone.
Before I could even open it, she says,
I got this for you before knowing how much weight
you've gained, it's a medium.
You're probably gonna need a larger and extra large.
But like she could have just said,
if you need another size, let me know.
The medium did fit, it's like.
But she asked me later that night
if she could give it to one of her son's girlfriends instead
because it would probably look better on her
and fit her better.
This is just one example of many.
My fiance didn't think anything of it.
And she said she didn't mean it like that.
I have so much resentment.
I could hardly stand being around her.
Help, what do I do?
Well, I think it's important that you wrote into us
cause we know nothing about the situation.
And like sometimes like with in-law drama
and then your man like kind of not, not taking your side
but not like sticking up for you.
You're like, wait, am I in the wrong?
Just from an outside third party perspective
with no particular interest in the matter.
Like this woman's a cunt.
You literally did nothing wrong.
And your man, not only like gaslighting you
into thinking it's not a big deal,
but also like not standing up for you against his mom.
Like your man's a pussy.
So you got a pussy and a cut.
And I know this is your fiance,
so we can't break up with him.
Cause like, obviously there's a lot of play.
She said fiance.
She said mother-in-law.
Oh, mother-in-law.
Oh my God, excuse me.
Yeah.
So this is your husband.
This woman's a bitch.
And I feel like with in-laws,
when you're like the daughter or the son,
like you deal with, you put up with stuff
cause this is an older person.
You have respect for them.
It's your partner's mother,
but you do eventually like hit a point
where it's like, actually this is no longer works for me.
Like I've swallowed too much.
I can no longer swallow.
And I think you're reasonable for being at that point.
Like that is crazy shit.
The taking the sweater back.
Put your foot down.
Like you have power here and you don't have to go.
And you shouldn't go and you should boycott.
And not someone on your side.
Not to be like, I want her to be nicer to me.
Like, no, there's actually, there were times
where you would have accepted forgiveness or correction
or your husband to step in and all those times have passed
and you're not going anymore.
So congratulations, you fucking played yourself
because if you had just said something to your mom,
all of this could be avoided and now you're not going.
And the good thing, the small bit of hope
we have to cling ourselves to and booey ourselves to
is you have an ally here in the brother.
So you're not the only person, like see,
it's not like everybody's like, what?
No, you're crazy.
Somebody else sees what you see.
So that's huge because I think a lot of times
like in family dynamics, if you're the outsider,
everybody's like, what are you talking about?
Yeah, no. So you're crazy.
Put your big fat foot down.
And we're not going anymore.
Put your medium sized foot down.
We're having Christmas at home.
Medium could have taken a large foot down.
Yeah. I'm not putting myself in this environment anymore. I could have taken a large foot down. Yeah.
I'm not putting myself in this environment anymore.
Congratulations.
I love that the sweater still fit you.
You played yourselves.
I love that the sweater still fit you.
That's so crazy.
That's bullying.
It wasn't a part of her plan.
That's why she was like hoping
that the sweater wouldn't fit.
She's like, oh, I'll just give it to Sarah.
But it did fit, but she had to give it to Sarah.
Like she's seriously, she's maniacal diabolical bitch.
And if your husband like won't go for it,
start firing off some texts, start making it permanent.
Yeah, that's tough. Like when you're in a battle with,
you know, I follow this woman, Shawna.
Do you know Shawna?
No.
Let me make sure that's her real name.
And I actually followed her like
before I started telling people I was pregnant
and I was worried and she followed me back
and I worried that she was gonna like blow out my spot because like she does all like newborn content and
like she does like these little skits she's like a mom she's like a mom influencer her
name is not Shawna what is her name Shawna yeah Shawna Lander I love her she does these
like little skits about like newborns like like when friends come over and like act crazy.
How do you spell Shawna?
S-H.
I love accounts like this.
Oh, you're gonna love Shawna.
Oh, did you send me the one about him?
And by the way, you probably will recognize her.
Her videos go so viral.
You've probably seen it before.
S-H.
A-W-N-A.
Lander.
L-A-N-D-E-R.
Is she on Reels?
Yeah, oh, sure, she's Shawna the mom on Instagram.
Yes, I see her.
Have you seen her before?
I don't think so, but maybe.
So she has a lot of skits about toxic mother-in-laws.
I love it.
And so if you're looking for inspo,
go to her account and she'll tell you how to deal.
I forget who her, she has a classic mother-in-law,
what the cat, Barb, Barb, that's her name.
And so she'll give you good tips on how to handle the Barb in your life.
Yeah. And like say your husband's like, no,
we're still going like send a text to the whole family.
Say, Hey everyone, we won't be attending Easter this year
as Barb can't control herself.
Yeah. Can't control her rude comments.
If you guys want, we'll have it at our house.
Right. Barb, you are not invited.
Just light a match.
Yeah, like I feel like you've put in the time,
you can't get to the place where you like burn it all down
without putting up with a lot.
And you've definitely put up with a lot
and you can burn it to the ground.
Yeah, and maybe that's how you get on a new page.
Like if there is like hope for the future,
like something really big has to happen
where she could maybe understand,
even if she doesn't like agree,
but at least just be respectful.
That that's not how you talk to people.
That you want to endear
and that you want to come to your home
and spend time with you.
That's just not how you talk to them.
I'm sorry that you're dealing with that.
Like that's brutal.
But I hope we've given you like the confidence
and the power to take control of your holidays.
Yeah.
And that's our show you guys.
