Good morning, Millennials, and welcome back to the Toast. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone's having a great day. Speaking of great, one of the greats, the greatest to ever do it. Where is that from? We always say, hope you're having a great day. We always say that. I don't know where it's from, but it's obviously from something. Like a movie or something. Yeah.

I don't know. Great day. I don't know. I don't know. It's giving Fat Bastard. It's giving Russian. No, it's Fat Bastard. Where was he from? Fat Bastard is Austin Powers, but the only Fat Bastard.

Of course. But where was he? Like his accent. Oh, where does he originate? Where does he hail from? What's his background? I'm not sure. Although the only Fat Bastard quotes that i really resonate with are twins basil and

uh cobs are the enemy what about i eat because i'm unhappy i'm unhappy because i eat i didn't know i thought that was socrates i didn't know that was fat bastard the same but different i eat because i'm unhappy and i'm unhappy because i eat like that's like that vicious cycle you're always talking about like oh you're trying to get dressed for something you feel disgusting fat like everything you're wearing doesn't fit you and the only thing that makes you feel better is eating yeah or like you go to a party or something and you just like are not feeling yourself you're just like insecure and you go home and like you just have to eat even though like eating's what got you to that even though you're insecure because of the eating yeah but that's just life man you know I eat because

I'm insecure I'm insecure because i eat you're not fat because i hate you i hate you because you're fat so those are just some words to hopefully not live by philosophical words of wisdom to start you off on your day you know courtesy of that bastard and the law is reason free from passion. Always. Always. That's the one. You're wearing a very cute sweatshirt today. Would you like to tell the group about it? I would because it is our Mama Crew Neck from our Toast Mama collection that we released right before Mother's Day so you could get yourself a little something sweet for you.

And we have Bebe merch and toddler. Clothing. Merch. What's after toddler? Bitch, you are asking the wrong world. Right. No, it's like it goes up to 4T, 5T. So it's like t-shirts for kids.

It's the cutest designs ever. This little podcasting bear. I read on page six that actually Harry was running around town in his Toast t-shirt. He was spotted in his Toast t-shirt looking so cute. And of course that, you know, size and color immediately sold out once everybody heard World was wearing it. Of course. It was like the Kate Middleton effect.

Exactly. So you can still get all of these things. They're available at Toastmarch.com. We have onesies for babies and newborns all the way up to 24 months. We have T-shirts for toddlers. And then we have crewnecks, T-shirts, tote bags, and mugs for the mamas. It was just like a little gift to the mamas. 100%.

Also, if there's a mama in your life and you don't know what to get her, it's really for the aunties to buy gifts for the mamas it was just like a little gift to the mamas 100 also if there's a mama in your life and you like don't know what to get her that's it's really for the aunties to buy gifts for the mothers in my opinion yeah do you want one of these that says the toast auntie yes i do like if we just like swapped out the word mama yeah that'd be nice extremely niche collection i think there'd probably be like 13 of us but we're a strong but mighty crowd and 13 people deserve a crew neck. They do. And I think it's worth it just to make the little tweak.

I agree. Well, you're looking gorgeous today. Oh, my God. Thank you. So are you, tan legs. Oh, my God. Tan legs? This is like an old spray tan.

I'm showing a lot of thigh on the YouTube today, which is why the iPad is covering. Like, my whole pussy's out. Like, it's not cool. This is a nice family show. Okay. Sure. We're not a nice family show? No. Like, your whole pussy isn't out. Oh, it's not cool. This is a nice family show. Okay. Sure. We're not a nice family show? No, like your whole pussy isn't out.

Oh, it's not? It's just a leg. It's just like a lot of thigh, you know? It's just thigh. It's a lot of thigh. Any thighs? Too much thigh? No, no.

I showed thigh yesterday on the toast. It's that time of year. I got to get comfortable showing leg on the toast, you know? It's 65 degrees today. It'll hit 70 by the time we leave the studio yeah I'm struggling with that because I can't like get a spray tan so my legs are so pale maybe you should you know sit outside and get a real tan on your legs that like doesn't happen for me same so I know that there are like self-tanning products that are pregnancy safe

they're like made with just, like, coffee. Oh. Which I could do that. You should. But I haven't, like, committed. It hasn't started to bother me enough yet that I'm not trying my legs. But I do have, like, a cute few dresses it would be nice to wear on the show, but not in the state of these legs. Well, how are pregnant women self-tanning their legs? Like, you can't bend over.

You got a baby in front of you, you know? Oh, I guess we're just going up to mid-thigh. Or maybe, like, we're having our husbands do it. here i can reach it i can reach it oh so i guess you'd be sitting yeah okay reach reach i don't give a reach i don't give a reach no i don't so maybe that's what's next for me perhaps but what was also next for me this morning was i listened to a wonderful podcast that got me in the chatty mood. Yeah. Two of the chattiest girls I know.

So true. Shannon and Snatchler. The Snatchler went on Shannon's podcast when we were in Nashville. Shannon just does a premium. Did you listen as audio or YouTube? I listened as audio because I was doing my makeup, but you know how much I love watching videos. So it was like, I feel like I need to watch it again as a video because I'm missing key

elements. And they're gorgeous girls. They got all dressed up. And they get all dressed up. Like, I need to watch it again as a video because I'm missing key elements and they're gorgeous girls they got all dressed up and they get all dressed up like I want to watch it I watched um on YouTube it was a gorgeous way to get dressed I love having something to watch in the mornings it kind of makes like the whole getting ready process so much more fun no I really felt like I was getting ready with my girls we were chuckling we were laughing we were getting deep yeah of course so it was really enjoyable it made me want to put on a good show today it inspired you it inspired me to podcast And it made me want to put on a good show today. It inspired you?

It inspired me to podcast my little heart out. Just to podcast the hardest you've ever podcasted in your life? No, but not too hard. Like, I don't want to be like I'm trying too hard, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I do know. Why are you smiling like that? Because it's a delicate balance.

It is a delicate balance. It's like deliver a show that has it all, but not too much of it all. Yeah, because people could sniff that out. A hundred percent. You just have to be yourself, but you want to be your best self. And how are the stories today? The stories are good. Yeah.

Yeah, the stories are really strong. The first four kind of fell into slot immediately. That's the best. And then the fifth was just like some random biz news that will take us on a tangent, which is kind of my perfect lineup. Yeah, I agree. I feel that. Like four solid celeb stories and fifth randomness that will make us have something funny to say.

Very cool. Well, my book club met last night. It was a great success. I read it on page six. It didn't make the stories. No, it's okay. But I figured because you would bring it up. Yeah, we met.

It was really a success. You know, pretty much everyone hated the book except Raquel. She like loved it. She couldn't believe we all hated it, really a success. You know, pretty much everyone hated the book, except Raquel. She, like, loved it. She couldn't believe we all hated it, which is good. You know, at least somebody should enjoy the book. She was the Margo of the group. But it doesn't really matter. Like, the main event last night wasn't the book.

It was the food. Like, Abe went all out on desserts, on entrees. It was really just, I ate so much. Like, I actually got home and I was not okay from how much I ate. I ate so much. Like I was, I actually got home and I was not okay from how much I ate. Spaghetti, steak, chicken, rice, sweet s'mores for dessert. Two proteins.

Wow. Yeah, no, there was like three proteins. It was also kebabs. I didn't have kebabs. It's just like, I'm really hungry. So this is kind of like hard for me to hear. Well, you know the word kebab. Like when you think of the word kebab, what do you think of?

Shish. Kebab. Shish, kebab. I exclusively think of Shaz of Sunset. And like I really can't say the word kebab. I have to say kebab. Oh. There are so many words that like I say differently, seriously, because of Shaz of Sunset.

Is that where grit comes from? Maybe. Even when I like talk to or talk about Mercedes Javi, it's Mercedes. Yeah. Mercedes. But if you were to buy a vehicle. Mercedes. From Mercedes.

Yeah. I can keep the two separate. Got it. Mercedes. You look like a piece of wood. Mercedes drives a Mercedes. She does actually. And yes.

She has to. Of course. That's like Shannon has to drive a Ford truck. You know, a new... Which she does. She was going down Shannon Ford Road. It really always took us where we wanted to go. A nice little reality TV thing that happened is,

you know, they unfortunately canceled Shaws of Sunset, which was so disgusting. But Mercedes actually works at the agency now. Not Mercedes, Mauricio Umansky's company. Is she on their show? She should be, because she's reality TV gold. She is. But she's still very much like a part of the Bravo universe.

And there's a lot of spinoff shows, like some TV I was watching had traitors on. Yeah, it's like a peacock show with all the villains from past reality TV shows. And also some lay people. Like who? No, lay people. Oh, like citizens? Citizens. Private citizens.

Ordinary people. I think that's what I gleaned from the show. I was kind of trying to put the pieces together as I was watching. By the way, I actually heard that show was like amazing. I heard that too. I watched an episode. I didn't feel that way. But I also didn't watch a whole episode and I didn't know

what was going on so it's not fair to say yeah but I wasn't like feeling like oh my god I'm pulled in no I had heard that that show like had a really unique like concept not unique or just like a good concept with good people and the first season was kind of gangbusters they had like you know past villains Brandi Glanville Jax Taylor yeah I had heard people they weren't all villains oh like um Kyle Cook is in it Ari a little bit of a villain Ari Leindyke he actually like was a villain okay fine I guess like anyone could be a villain Kyle Cook is not a villain no I just to us no no no I think he's like a villain no he's like the affable I guess he's like Tom Sandoval before Scandival like only a villain in our eyes yeah I saw on TikTok Tom Sandoval um has fled the country he was at the LAX international airport

probably getting out of Dodge before the reunion do they know where he was going no he was just like going through security and fun fact he did not have TSA pre-check maybe he was just going on vacation well I also don't know like if everything we know about Tom Sandoval up until this point would lead me to believe he's gonna like lean in you know people are gonna be talking about him more than ever running away is not something it's not you know it's very out of character for him yeah I mean he like loves it he's like still in the house if he was a runner he would right he's a runner he's a track star but it's just like what I saw on TikTok which means you know it's obviously true obviously so I guess that's all so the book club was good that was the club

was good yeah I don't have a lot to catch up with everyone on I like didn't do much like worth discussing yesterday yesterday was just like kind of a blur I don't even remember we had our BHG right we had our big day out with Harry Harry actually came to the studio what did he say when he got home what did he think he was really impressed with the operation with the lights and the cords yeah he was like mom you've got a really good thing going I'm proud of you and he actually sat in this chair right here I knew it felt different when I sat in it today and he was just kind of taken in mesmerized by the lights he loved the phone stand he loves the phone stand and then we took him out to lunch and he had pizza and it was just like an amazing day like when I got home Ben was like how was your

day and I'm like well it was amazing you know and that's not something you usually hear on a Monday no not from like a what normally would have been like a standard work day right I wasn't like oh it was good productive how was your day I said Ben had an amazing day I actually think I said you know I had the best day with rolled did it not to be so annoying but did it get like your ovaries tingling fuck off no honestly like the way I couldn't even eat I was like Harry like are you choking Harry you need water Harry what do you need Harry's falling out of the high chair like honestly no if you're gonna ask a question I'm gonna be fucking honest no okay okay. That hasn't happened for you at all. Through this process.

Even with Michaela. No. Every time you're with the kids, like you have the best time, but it does not leave you. Other people are like, my ovaries are tingling. No. Honestly, when I'm spending time with the kids, like I'm so fulfilled, but I also like I hit a point where I just like slowly back away and retreat to my bedroom.

Like it's a lot. Yeah. Like when I'm with the kids, I'm not slowly back away and retreat to my bedroom. Like it's a lot. Yeah. Like when I'm with the kids, I'm not focusing on like the ovary love part. I'm focused on like the laborious part. I'm like, okay, I've had enough. Gotta go. Like I love these kids, but take a bullet for them. Get out of the car.

Okay. You know? Okay. Just had to ask. Yeah. Because I'm sure people are thinking it. Oh, were they? Like I feel so fulfilled by my nieces and nephews.

Like honestly, it's enough for me. I know. Like you and Olivia did too good of a job having the most perfect poo-poo children. That, what could I possibly offer, you know? What could you bring to the table? Nothing. Like K, rolled, Levi. Seriously, like it's good.

Okay. We'll leave it at that. Yeah, we will. We'll circle back. If you know what's good for you. We'll circle back in a year. Okay. We'll leave it at that. Yeah, we will. We'll circle back. If you know what's good for you. We'll circle back in a year. Yeah. So now that all the questions have been asked.

Right now that you've like invaded my personal ovary space. You're not touchy about that, are you? No, no, I'm not. When it's from people I don't know. Of course, that's fucking weird. Like, I'm not going to say her name, but like, you know who I'm talking about. Like. Oh, my God.

No, I didn't know. She said something so fucking rude. I didn't know who you were talking about. Actually, you weren't even there. I was with Olivia. Oh, my God. She was like, what about you? Like, I don't know this person at all.

She does not know this person. I barely know this person. And she was like, what about you? You don't want to do it? And I was thinking of, like, making up a lie. Like, I, like. Oh, my God. Like, just to make her feel bad I was thinking of like making up a lie. Like I'm like. Oh my God. Like just to make her feel bad because like fuck off, bitch.

Yeah, that's crazy. And by the way, it's nobody juicy. Like it's not a celebrity or an influencer. It's nobody. It's just like some bitch. Yeah, that's who I already got bad vibes from the first time I met her. I just felt like I didn't like her. Yeah.

No, that's so crazy. And you know, I'm coming just from a place of curiosity and like no your time turn you're completely fine like over the weekend we had um brunch with a bunch of girlies some who are pregnant some who have kids some are are in the stages like everybody's in different stages and we all were talking about it and everyone was just bringing up like where they're at and I didn't I don't feel any that's a safe space like yeah and if I know you and love you but like if I don't like you better watch your fucking mouth around me bitch yeah but safe space is a safe space and toast is a safe space because it's also like the element of like list broadcast no like people were wondering you're you're within your right you're well within your rights to ask okay okay cool cool you're welcome now I think without further ado here

Our first story, Kim Kardashian is getting some heat again after comments made

on a podcast. Yes, I saw she was on Jay Shetty, but I didn't see what she was getting backlash for. Okay, I'll tell you what she said and then what people are saying. So here's what she said. Kim Kardashian speaks on the chaos of being a single mom. She admits that parenting is one of the quote most challenging yet rewarding things she has encountered in life. She said there are nights I cry myself to sleep like holy shit this fucking tornado

in my house like what just happened. Actually this is perfect regarding considering the conversation we just had. She went on Jay Shetty's podcast and had a conversation about parenting and also being a single mom. She emphasized that even in the mess of it all, it is still the best chaos. She said, everyone says the days are long and the years are short

and that couldn't be like a more true statement. It is the most rewarding job in the entire world. There is nothing that can prepare you. I don't care how long you wait. I don't care what you're waiting for. You are never prepared so people are um what's wrong with that upset so she opened up about the chaos in her home life saying that sometimes she gets through the night hour by hour to see if we're going to survive if a tantrum comes in oh my god your life is

completely upside down and she talked about like crying herself to sleep some nights like just from the stress and just the chaos of it all okay so people are slamming her saying she's acting like she's middle class and complaining about her struggles as a single mom you know she has a full staff and nannies to help her and that she's not right like in it allowed to complain okay I mean I just so don't agree with that like whatsoever um like I just don't like just because it's different than other people's situations doesn't mean she's not entitled to talk about it she is a single mom she's also I think feel like what we know about her like yes she has all this infrastructure I'm sure she has like a team of nannies and everything um but she's like a really involved mom and so as much as you have

help like you still want to do everything yourself and your kids at the end of the day like want their mom and I don't know I just feel like she's entitled that's like that thing like you know I'm drowning in 100 feet of water and you're drowning in 20 feet of water but we're both still drowning so true I've never heard that yeah I heard it on Olivia Jade's story once and it actually really stuck with me it's like people are allowed to complain even if their situations are different or better than yours. Right. So here are some of the, the tweets round up of what people are saying just to give

context to like what people are saying. And I just want to say, I meant, I wanted to listen to what she had to say because without the whole context of the conversation, like it's not worth having a take on it but then shannon and snitch dropped their episode right and so you were otherwise i was otherwise preoccupied she said quote she twitter tweeters said she also talks as if she doesn't have a full staff of people helping her what the fuck someone else kim has four nannies one assigned to each kid motherhood is not hard nannies are raising her kids she needs to stop trying to act like she's middle class i just want to say i'm like the biggest kim fan ever and and I don't know that to be a fact that she

is a kid a nanny per kid where did I don't know that either it could be true but like where did we learn that yeah and I at no point in what she was saying did I feel like she was trying to be middle class I mean she's sitting there like looking like you know like she's so famous like she was oh for a second I thought she was middle class like I never fucking thought that like she's so famous. She was, oh, for a second, I thought she was middle class. Like I never fucking thought that. Like that's not a valid. And I also don't think she was doing that thing

that a lot of celebrities do that bothers me where they like try and be relatable. Yeah. Where they, you know, complain about like relatable things

that everyone goes through. But it's like, you actually don't go through that. I actually don't feel like that's what she was doing. I feel like one thing about motherhood is like it really is

like the great equalizer. Like no matter how many, you know, how much help you have or how much money you have like everyone especially like I feel like what we know about the Kardashians like they're really involved parents they don't just like you know toss their kids to some facility and like run away um motherhood really is like the great equalizer and yes certain people have help but it's still like it takes a village it takes a village and it's still like it takes a village. It takes a village. And it's still like a lot of pressure to raise people. You know what I mean?

And so I feel like even if her day to day looks different from other people's, like she still has a world of pressure on top of her taking care of four kids, like running multiple businesses, being a single mom, being a single mom. But we also I don't think we talked about this on the show, but we kind of did because that person, Jeremy Allen's um ex-wife had said that she's now a single mom yeah and we were like questioning to single motherhood apply to divorced parents where the father is in the picture no it's a good question and you know what you know that um Jeremy Allen White's Addison Timlin his ex-wife actually changed her caption from single mother

to co-parent because maybe she got like backlash I was just curious I don't know what qualifies a single mom I think Kim is qualified as a single mom because one she is divorced and two like Kanye is very um you know in and out in and out he like lived in Wyoming for a while and he's like going through stuff and I don't know I'm sure he's involved but I think I would consider her a single mom. Yeah, I think people are also questioning that qualification too considering Kanye is around and he's also, you know,

a financial provider. Right, that's true. And he also like wants to be with his kids. He's always making videos like trying to show up. Yeah. So they were triggered by her use of that term as well.

Yeah, we actually did just have that conversation I think off air. I don't know what constitutes a single mom. I don't know if being what constitutes a single mom I don't know if being divorced constitutes a single mom because you're single and you're a mom right and like when the kids are with you you are single mothering yeah but the difference between that and like supposedly a widower is like a widower doesn't get you know the weekend's custody right yeah I don't know I don't know either and also we don't know what her situation with Kanye is. Right.

So if she's calling herself a single mom, like I'm going to call her a single mom too. Like, you know. Yeah. And I just, it's crazy. Like, it's so crazy. I'm sure this conversation was like extremely. Fine and normal. Long, like no, like long and in depth.

And like you just take away the fact that she, what, she's not allowed to cry at night because she's stressed and overwhelmed by her life. Right. Like who gave you permission? Right. Just because you don't think like if you were in that situation that you would cry doesn't mean her feelings aren't valid. Right.

No, I don't agree with this backlash. I'm trying to end this backlash. It's not real to me. Okay. But it's like very real for people. Yeah. Well, that's on them. Yeah.

Yeah. Per usual. Right. Just because like just because somebody's life is different and in your opinion easier doesn't mean that they don't struggle with something. Right. Just because somebody's life is different and, in your opinion, easier, doesn't mean that they don't struggle with something. Right. Like, that's just, I don't, I reject, I reject this backlash. I don't know her.

Okay, well, I still want to watch the interview because it looks good and. And she doesn't do podcasts a lot, so. It's Kim like we've never seen her before. And there's video. And most importantly, there is video. Right. So I shall be watching. Watch, she shall. Are you importantly, there is video. Right. So I shall be watching. Watch, she shall.

Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Some love news. Billionaire Jeff Bezos is engaged to Lauren Sanchez after nearly five years together. Wow, it's been five years. I know. They are really having a week.

And I guess this whole big week was the lead up to this big engagement. Amazon head Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez are engaged. The pair are in the south of France for the Cannes Film Festival, where they have been hitting the star-studded party circuit while staying on his $500 million yacht with the mermaid resembling Lauren, adorning the prow, lest we not forget. Rumors have been swirling this week,

as Lauren was seen with a diamond ring on her finger. They have been inseparable since they started dating in 2018. Like, very normal. I know. You know what you know what between you know the conversation we had about them I think last week and this like I ship I'm so here for this age-appropriate you know long-term relationship now of course did he cheat on his wife with her the timeline was like a little murky the timeline's a little murky but you don't know when people got separated When like you know they moved to separate bedrooms Yeah

Etc etc So I don't know I'm here for it But she was also married too Yeah There was like a little There was a nefarious nature to the beginning of their relationship However I'm okay with it

Five years of commitment Yeah And now an engagement Soon they'll you know they'll be engaged for a year and a half and get married right at the plaza right just like a couple of millennials literally yeah i mean that wedding is going to be next level in terms of guest list yeah like who at that point do you even invite to your wedding everyone i think they're gonna go big yeah it's nice it is nice i weirdly am on the ship now me too and it's making him much more likable i feel like he went through a period of just being like a clown yeah no like an alien

like he just like he's not in a lot of ways not human yeah do you know what i mean he feels extraterrestrial maybe that's why he's trying to go to space to be amongst his people right yeah like when you wore like that cowboy hat to go to space. You know, like everything he does is like a little fucking weird. Yeah, he just like can't be cool. No, but she feels very normal to me. And I don't know, I feel like she normalizes,

like humanizes him in a sense. Yeah, and they're always together like doing activities. They went to Coachella. Yeah. You know. They went to dinner with Kim Kardashian. Which is the most Normal thing you could do

Right It's nice I like it I like it too Because I like it Yeah It's good

Congrats to the happy couple Yeah her ring is beautiful I think it was 20 carats Which is insane Jeez And the only photos We really have Are like blurry paparazzi

Of them outside So it's not like You know An official Instagram announcement. Yeah. But hopefully we'll get that soon. If they're going to be as choogy as we think they are, I think we'll get like a full blown engagement photo shoot.

I think so. Maybe in a field somewhere like a bachelor couple. I love that for them. Me too. I would love to see it. Or on the boat. Oh, of course. Maybe with the statue in tow.

That'd be nice. That would be. Are you ready for our next story yeah another bit of podcasting information because nick jonas went on armchair expert and he is talking about his tragic performance with kelsey ballerini that landed him in therapy and as a nick fan and a kelsey fan i did not know about any of this what performance nick jonas has revealed that his infamous performance with kelsey ballerini at the 2016 academy of country music awards the acms landed him in therapy he joined kelsey on stage for a rendition of her song peter pan i love that just moments

after starting the duet off fine he recalled his tragic off-key guitar solo that seemingly marred the performance oh guitar solo okay it's better than a vocal solo I feel like when there are performances and then people go into like long solos that's like when everybody goes and gets a snack so I don't know he said a really good tragic guitar solo debacle happened on live tv I come out for my thing I rehearsed it a million times I'm feeling really confident about it not even really thinking about it like it's going to be problematic I started off it was fine and as I walked towards her i just went completely blank and i hit a wrong note and blacked out basically and clocked that it was wrong and i couldn't stop at the time he poked fun at himself and laughed along with the torrent

of jokes on social media writing yes i screwed up the solo thanks to a huge brain fart we're all human and shit happens yeah but whoever made this is genius about like a meme looking back on the mishap years later he said in retrospect i can kind of laugh about how big I thought it was, but it did travel more than I wish it would have. And it did cause me to go to therapy. Until this day and hours after unpacking it, I can't really figure out exactly what happened, but I was rushed to a car and rushed to a plane right after it. And I looked at my manager and said, I think that was bad. I was like in shock, kind of like it was a really traumatic moment that shaped the pressure I put on myself to be perfect and to be always on.'s interesting I have quite literally no idea what

performance this is which is so crazy because I have to go watch it yeah of course because I know everything um and I do feel I could understand how this is devastating for him and I actually think it's worse than his voice giving out because we all know Nick Jonas is a really good singer and so if he did one performance and he sounded bad like we could say it was an off day I would never be like oh Nick Jonas has been lip-syncing his whole career like he's an established good singer but I do think he really prides himself on being a musician and to go out and do a guitar solo and like totally fuck it up like you look like you're playing pretend yeah and I do kind of really respect his acknowledging because I feel like he definitely like is always trying to be and do the most and like be perfect.

And he's always been that way. And it's kind of annoying. But the fact that it's like something he acknowledges and like works through in therapy, it's like and I think it's probably like from always being compared to his brothers. Like that has to be so toxic that he just wants to be like the best guitar player he could be and the best vocalist he could be. And honestly, I feel like at points in time like it has made him annoying yeah um so the fact that it's something he like actively knows that he does and like works on like actually really like is relatable like yeah and I respect that I respect that I understand how an incident like this could make him be even more annoying about it and like striving to be perfect yeah and just really devastate him yeah well I'm quite literally running home to go watch his performance.

I'm so curious. And it is funny. That's also, I just think like a relatable thing in life. Like there are things in your life that you feel like were such big deals, like that really like shaped who you are. And quite literally nobody cares. Like I don't, like I'm a huge country music fan. I have quite literally no idea what he's talking about.

No, I know. But I'm sure at the time, like it was really big, but it also feels really big when you're in the center of it and like still the worst thing that's ever happened to you just because it's not as bad as the worst thing that happened to someone else like it's still hard for you to go through yeah no of course but in in that moment you think it's the biggest thing going on in the world yeah and then in retrospecting those things take time you realize like nobody cared yeah well also this landed him in therapy which is always a good thing yeah but then it made him more of a perfectionist.

Like, so the therapist should be fired. Right. Right. I thought he was working on his perfectionism. Yeah. Like, he didn't heal well from this incident. Right. Up until today.

Well, he's talking about it, which is a good sign. I mean, it's eight years later. Oh, wow. I cannot wait to go watch. Yeah, same. Just to like kind of see the look on his face. Like that's what's most interesting. When like live TV goes wrong, how people like hold their composure,

I find to be the most interesting part of it. But I also fully understand how this could happen. Like to have a brain fart. Like sometimes it's like I know my credit card number backwards and forwards. But like if you were to ask me, like sometimes I'm like, I don't know. No, and then like your muscle memory just like gives out. Yeah yeah and I think no matter how many times you perform in front of like a lot of people like it's always a little bit jarring to be in like an arena full of people and on a televised program you know even the most you could like literally just like blackout it's

a muscle memory and you just like start to doubt yourself and it's all goes to shit I think that all the time about like dancers. Like the choreography, like it's like, you know, minutes long choreography. How on God's green diddly-dally earth do they remember that? Like I'm always thinking that when I'm watching like Eris tour content. It's like a three hour show.

Like, and you don't mess up just like one dance? True. And I know that they're professionals. Like that's why I can't wrap my mind around it. Your muscles get used to it, but then like sometimes it could happen where you just like doubt yourself. at least in that situation there's other people doing it so you could pick it back up that's true that's true but still like I have

mad respect for like dancers it's because all you have to be giving it your all yada yada but there's also so much brain work in remembering like oh kickball change comes next pas de bourree yeah like that shit really like like, impresses me. Same with, like, Broadway people memorizing their lines. Oh, my God. That is something I actually am in awe of. Like, Broadway specifically, because it's not like you can, like, cut and get a line. But even in movies, like, people memorize, especially, like, Law & Order, like, they

rememberize so many lines. Like, they do, like, 25 episodes a season. And, yeah, they get to cut and stuff. But for the most part, you need to have your lines down. I don't know how that works. Me neither. Law and Order like they remember I was so many lines like they do like 25 episodes a season and yeah they get to cut and stuff but for the most part you need to have your lines down I don't know how that works me

I feel like you could get away with not memorizing no way and then cutting no way like yeah you could forget for sure but like you for the book you need to know what's going on in the story yeah in

order to know how to act I guess it's part of the talent yeah trade no but, like theater actors, that is beyond impressive. Yeah. It's like three hour shows. It's crazy. Mm-hmm.

And I've actually been to a lot of shows. I don't think I've ever seen anybody fuck up a line. Maybe you wouldn't know. Right, because they like cover it up. They have ways of covering. But it's perfection. Like it always is. Yeah.

Our next story, the divorce between Kim and Kroy is getting even messier. What happened? Last week we reported that she accused him of being. Being addicted to drugs. To drugs. And now Croy is saying that Kim's gambling problem financially devastated the family.

You know what? There is like a record of that. So Kim, Croy claims that Kim's gambling has financially devastated their family. The former NFL player is requesting in new court documents obtained by Page Six

that the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star undergo psychological evaluation because of the compulsions she's presented. Kim has allegedly been, quote, spending substantial time in material marital funds on gambling and other games of chance, he claims in the documents. And this compulsion has financially devastated the parties. He further alleged that Kim's time is so consumed with online gambling that she cannot probably take care of their four minor children. So this is, you know, a shit slinging competition about who and why they can't take care of their kids. Although I do want to say he wants her tested for mental health issues such as depression, narcissistic personality disorder, bipolar disorder and more. OK, that obviously to me feels like a stretch however like in

terms of the shit being slung like if you watch the show she like loves to gamble and it's definitely like fun but you know that is a slippery slope like I feel like there's more proof like more of a record that she's a gambler than him being like addicted to drugs you know what I mean yeah agreed I also feel like he would have thrown in alcoholism because there's a long record of her drinking all the time on the show like not in a way that was ever concerning to viewers but like you could make the case because I feel like they're just at this point trying to make a case for why the other shouldn't have custody and this is like the type of situation where like actually having spent years on a reality show really doesn't work in your favor because like there's

tons of footage and maybe they just went you know to have content but her at the casino you know yeah now that's just like in people's minds and there's a record of it so it kind of works against you in a situation like that but like that was a huge storyline like she you know when they took that rv she was only down because like they were going to the casino yeah so yeah right this is where it like comes back to bite you in the ass even though i don't know if it's necessarily even admissible in court because it's. Art. It's art. Right.

Exactly. It can it's you know it can be said it was scripted. Because the law is reason free from passion. Exactly. And art is a passion. Exactly. It is reason free from law. And do you know who said those immortal words?

That bastard. Exactly. So back to my point which is I don't think it's admissible but it like for the public like there's two things going on now like we're now all you know eating this up and taking aside and thinking what's real and then there's also of course like the actual legal part of it yeah this is just extremely messy about as messy as it gets in a divorce yeah just like trying to think of the worst possible thing you could say against a partner trying to take away custody of kids yeah it's bad, it's bad.

And it's bad for those of us who like one shipped in and we're hoping for like, you know, we grew apart. I know. And like we'll co-parent. And they both like love those kids so much. Because they're each fighting for like sole custody. Right. Which is kind of crazy. You think they both deserve custody.

Like if, you know, if both parents are good like what's wrong with joint custody yeah I don't know I don't know we'll just have to let the chips this is just very sad they have so many kids they were such a happy family like I'm just I'm really still like I'm in shock from this I'm still in the phase of like denial yeah it doesn't feel real to me. I know but it's realer than real. It's not even like. No it's like and it's getting bad.

It's getting bad. Yeah. So that's the latest update. No I really am upset about this. Like. Still doesn't explain why they got divorced though. Yeah. Though they obviously fucking hate each other.

Right. So maybe that's what happened. Because in order to like get to this point where like you're saying really disparaging things about the parent of your child in a legal sense, like where it actually has like consequences, you have to really fucking hate your ex-husband and wife. And like calling for psychological evaluations, drug tests. Right. It's dirty. It's low. Yeah.

We've gotten to a bad point. So something must have happened to initially break up the marriage to the point where it was irreparable. Yeah. Sad. Very sad. And their kids are just so cute. I just like, I really love them. I know.

And it was really like a fairy tale. If you were there from the beginning, you know like how this was a fairy tale for Kim. Like not only was he so good looking and so cute he loved her so much and he loved her girls so much and they had this like beautiful family where they couldn't stop having kids and they just the more you talk about the fairy tale nature of the relationships the sadder this update is no I know that's what I'm saying like that's why I'm still very much in the denial phase because if you if you've been there from the beginning, like, you know how, like, Kroy turned Kim's life around, you know?

They only really got their own show because he was, like, this famous NFL player. And then they had this crazy life together. And they had all these kids. And she was just, like, in and out of Housewives. But then she became, like, kind of a new tier of Housewives because she got her own show. He, they were really great for each other. And honestly, it makes me really sad. And like, they dealt with so much with their families,

like respective families. Like his family really did not like her. And he stood by her and he chose her in their family. And Kim's family was crazy, like selling stories to the press. Like, I think the public only ever found out that Ariana and Brianna, is that their names? Ariana and Brielle had different fathers

because their grandma, Kim's mom, sold a story to People Magazine. Like, it was so terrible. I remember when that was on TV. So, like, their families were just, like, kind of terrible to them, and they were just this unit. And, like, this story, like, actually makes me so sad.

I'm going to let you have time to process and to grieve and take your time with coming to terms with it. Thank you. I've been there I know are you ready for our fifth and final story a little irrelevant business news and like the way they like still loved each other and were so attracted to each other like all these years later after all these kids like it really was inspirational love isn't real like for real I'm so upset that's why you need to know what happened so that you can process process and begin to accept yeah because you can't just go from like

last season you saw don't be tardy to this shit slinging yeah no you're right okay i'm sorry i'm done no it's as i said take your time thanks fifth and final story yeah yeah yeah shall we do you want to sing a song to lead us in? The final story. Do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do.

Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do. Give me a cry. I'll ship you to the very end. Justice for catching KJ. I went like a more somber, like ballad route this time. No,

it was nice. We needed that sort of a moose boosh to take us into the next story, which is that Giphy, the app that has all the gifts has been sold and was, I guess, owned by Meta. They were owned by Meta? They were owned by Meta and they were sold to Shutterstock

for $53 million which is actually a loss because Meta had paid $400 million for it. Well I could see a time in which it was worth $400 million where like GIFs were like

oh yeah GIFs and we were putting them everywhere and everyone was like making their own and now they're fucking irrelevant. But I feel like Meta made them irrelevant. Like I can't tell you

how many times I've downloaded the Giphy app on my phone so that i could have it in my text messages yeah because i love to send a gif in a text but you don't need the app to do that do you do because if you don't it doesn't come up and and literally giphy app by the way you don't have the giphy app but you have giphy in your text messages yes how when you like open up your text messages. My applications. And you press the little micro, the, what's it called? The A. No. No. You press the red microscope thing. Excuse me?

Images. Hashtag images. And then you just search in GIFs. You don't need the Jiffy app. The thing about Jiffy, and I think part of the reason why it. Look at me. I'm going to be sending GIFs all day now. I always would download the Jiffy app.

Then it goes. Save a GIF and then. No, no. It goes. Then it becomes part of your applications that are available here just the red microscope but then like you know what's that thing called search no not a microscope not a stethoscope what is that little oh that's a microscope no it's not it's a oh what um when you hold a microscope your microscope is like a stationary thing you put your eye in. This is like the glass circle with the handle that you put up against your eye. It's called a stethoscope?

No, it's called a... Seeing thing. Like, hold on. Through the looking glass. What is it? Magnifying glass. Yes, thank you so much. I was about to write seeing magnifier, but it's magnifying glass.

Thank you. And I think that's just further proof why, like like nothing about Giphy slash Jiffy, whatever you want to call it, was proprietary. It was just a database of GIFs that they didn't own or make. It was just like curated from the internet. So Apple was able to do it on their own. Sure. You could say the same thing about YouTube.

I could say the same thing about YouTube. Yeah, I could say the same thing about YouTube yeah I could but nobody ever came and did YouTube just as good Vimeo tried tries though right and they weren't as good but like nothing about Giphy is ubiquitous you know like YouTube is ubiquitous everyone you need to see a video you're going to YouTube for a while like when you would search videos for on Google they would give you like google video but like even they gave up yeah they actually just bought youtube yeah which was pretty smart um but like meta meta's power is no longer what it was like when they released reels there was a time when they released video they shut down the world's biggest video app vine when they released reels i don't really feel like they made a huge impact on tiktok what i don't know reels people are real people no i know but i don't think business was like waiting for tiktok to be banned and then i also read a report on twitter last week

that they're coming out with a twitter competitor and i don't think it's like you know there was a day and time when they would have done that it would have shut twitter down their power is not what it what it was like if i had a company now and meta wanted to buy it like of course i would sell it to them but like i don't know if it would be like become the biggest best company ever you know yeah and it used to be that way no not everything they do is successful right now they're i don't know what's the future i guess they think the metaverse is the future yeah no i can't personally will not be engaging in the metaverse or any verses i like i like this for real life the universe i just don't understand i don't understand the metaverse like why people would want to live there i literally don't

understand it no and i like saw this like girl complaining that she got like robbed in the metaverse yeah people are getting raped in the metaverse. You're kidding me. Yeah. But how does that work? I don't know what the laws are there. But can't you just take the glasses off? No, like for real. Like, isn't that? No, I don't.

No, no, no. I don't know. Like the metaverse, like let's just, the metaverse is not real. Right. So somebody steals money from my wallet in the metaverse. Like I still have my wallet in the real world. Like, you know what I mean? Yes, but no.

In the metaverse, like you do have like a digital wallet so if they take your money so the metaverse is like lawlessness no that's why I'm not getting involved like yeah I feel like this is one of those things like everybody was like you know gangbusters for AI and now it's like it's literally ruining civilization and we're all trying to like backtrack AI and now we're all like gangbusters for AI and now it's like it's literally ruining civilization and we're all trying to like backtrack AI and now we're all like gangbusters for metaverse and then in a few years we're gonna be like we wish we never did that and so I'm not participating in the charade no and I'm not gangbusters for metaverse take me out of that equation but I just want to say like AI can do wreak havoc on anything that it wants but it will never take down the toast no it won't but like there's no reason anybody should have like created that and I think the guy who created it is like

damn like sorry sorry y'all. I fucked up. Yeah. And I feel like the metaverse is going to be one of those things. And also, whatever happened to NFTs? It's the same thing. But is NFTs over? No.

Because the whole thing crashed, right? With FTX? No, no, no. Crypto crashed, right? Crypto goes up and down. But they had a big down. With FTX Like No no no Like crypto like crashed right Crypto like goes up and down But they had a big down It went down And I feel like it was never the same

And then FTX also was really bad For the crypto world Yeah and I just feel like There was a time when like Everyone was talking about NFTs And I feel like we're not Talking about it anymore Like I feel

I think it's like the trend Like it's over Yeah Like what about all those people That quit their jobs To work in NFTs you know I don't know What about like all that NFT art

that they bought to hang in their metaverse house? Oh my God. The fact that people are out here using fake money to buy fake art. No, using real money to buy fake art to hang in their fake houses in their fake universe. Like this is like literally not the real world.

No. Could never be me. Like I am just like so firmly planted in the real world. And I'm just not one of these people who could be like taken away in the metaverse like I'm just I'm not good to know and like where do you even access the metaverse like okay I want to go to the metaverse so do I put on goggles like is it a r vr no let's seriously say I'd like to join the metaverse please okay where do you join

let's find out like I'm sure we can find out from Meta. Is it like a website you go to? How to join the metaverse. Do you put on goggles? Join us in the metaverse. Building trust. Okay, that's an ad. What is the metaverse and how to get into it?

That's us. Yeah. Read aloud. Hailed as the next generation of the internet. Big tech's acolytes have high hopes for the metaverse. But though this new virtual space may change our lives, it's still largely misunderstood. So true.

Ain't that the truth? Learn what the metaverse is, how to access it, and where it may be heading in the future. Then keep yourself safe wherever you go online with powerful online security and privacy software like Avest One. So they want us to download Avest One. Okay, and so then what? No, I need like logistics.

How to access the metaverse step by step. You download Avest One and that's an application on your computer and so you open it up like you would like Photo Booth or Safari. Here's what you need. Equipment to enter the metaverse. A computer. Check. Gaming console.

It's not necessary to access the metaverse, but they are beneficial if you would like to connect other equipment such as a microphone and a VR headset. Okay, I have a PS5 at home, but Ben does. If you're interested in socializing in real time with additional equipment, a gaming console can provide an immersive experience. Okay, I definitely want to be immersive. VR headset to enter the three-dimensional. So VR, okay. So when people say they're in the metaverse, they're actually like their eyes are in the metaverse.

Yeah. And the hand-operated controllers. Right, right. So you're like really. I just still don't get it. And like AR glasses. Yeah. Like I'm all good, you know.

I'm set. I'm set. Even though I will say I went to like an arcade like a year ago, maybe less. And there was like a game that you sit in and you put the headset on and like it's like a roller coaster kind of and really and it was super fun I don't know if that's the metaverse but I had a great time six flags in the metaverse no like it was it wasn't even six flags it was like this kind of it kind of looked like Care Bears it was like this beautiful like it didn't make you feel like you want to move there it was just like a

beautiful like rainforest almost but it was all in pastel colors and that I was like swirling down this creek and I was in this boat and then I was like it was fun could you sleep in the metaverse I guess just like not take your glasses off and fall asleep just like close your eyes but then you don't see anything but you don't see anything when you're sleeping anyway but then you get to wake up there god that sounds like you don't the biggest go back to your life. I don't honestly I don't really believe in like creating new universes if you don't like the one that you're in.

Like, you know, we all have the hard things in life that we just got to power through. Yeah. The metaverse is not going to save you. No. Especially when you're saying

it's running rampant with crime. I go to the metaverse because I'm unhappy. I'm unhappy because I go to the metaverse. I think that's a perfect place to end the show. Like really full circle. That was actually poetic, the way we just kind of started the show.

And there's nothing that needs to be said. I go to the metaverse because I'm unhappy. And I'm unhappy because I go to the metaverse. That's actually very poignant. I think that's what's going on. I do too. With a lot of people. Like there's no reason you should be putting on glasses and escaping.

It's like an episode of Black Mirror. The one with Landry. Yes. Yes. No. And there was another one where he like plays in a video game with his friend. They're like long distance friends. And they're both men who are straight and in relationships.

But when they play in the video game as their avatars. Like one's a girl. I don't know what their genders are in the game. But they fuck when they play in the game. Oh my God. And then they like have to see each other. but they like have this affair going on in the video game interesting that sounds like a good episode the one that I'm referring to is Landry from Friday Night Lights whose name I can literally never remember but he's married to Kirsten Dunst

you guys know him um he plays this video game at work after work and when he's at work he like snatches people from the workplace and makes their dna and then copies them into his video game and they like live this like eternal life trapped in the video game but they find a way to kill him i don't know that's basically what the metaverse is and he was a freak and i'm sorry if you're like if you're not experiencing like you're not going out and like meeting people and connecting with other humans and like traveling and experiencing things you're just putting on glasses every day to live in a fake ass world. Like seriously, that's not okay. There's something wrong with you.

I'm sorry, there is. Like we all need to bloom where we're planted and we've been planted in the universe, not the metaverse. No, I totally agree. So that's kind of the lesson for today. Thank you. There's no toast in the metaverse.

No, no. Because we're like, we're real. We're real people. Say what you want about us we're real and only real people exist in the universe not the metaverse i'm so glad you're right that did start a tangent thank you guys so much for listening to the toast of the millennium morning show where we deliver the fast five stories you need to know every monday through friday on youtube so if you're watching us on youtube please don't forget to subscribe and give this video a
