It's Jackson Claude and we're your hosts.
It's your favorite show, the best five things you need to know.
We'll start your day off swirly, it's The Toast.
They sound amazing.
Welcome back to the toast and happy Tuesday.
Hope everybody's having a parge-licious day.
Hope some of you have made a pargy loaf
thus far this morning.
I thought about it. I haven't.
I was actually gonna start my day with the PL,
but time got away from me.
I was trying on dresses all of a sudden.
I'm like, oh my God, get to work.
What a horrible way to start the morning.
I'm so sorry that you were trying on dresses.
I know, but it's my own fault.
They came yesterday.
I didn't do it yesterday.
It was actually nice because I had done my makeup
and my hair, so they looked as good
as they were gonna look.
I gave them a fair shot.
I also actually tried on dresses.
We have a wedding coming up.
My, sorry, sister-in-law, not Ben's sister, sister-in-law,
she's getting married and I have really put off
getting dresses and I got two yesterday and they both worked.
They both fit and like I like them both.
I don't even know which one to wear.
And I want to shout out to a woman.
I don't know if it's a woman named Talar Marmo,
which is a new brand that I found that makes like,
they're all like one size fits all caftans.
And I know what you're thinking like one size fits all,
but like they're huge.
I don't know what they look like on a thin person,
but I wore it to the wedding that I went to in Miami
and I just was like, oh, this brand is fab.
Let me get one for Maddie's wedding.
Now she's pricey.
So I bought one for final sale on,
I think maybe like Farfetch'd.
Like you really got a,
you got a pillage interwebs for something reasonably priced,
but a life hack if you're pregnant
and you have to go to a wedding,
tallor marmo.
Pargy, thank you.
Also, maybe you'll do like a wardrobe change in the middle
when Maddie changes her wedding dress,
like sister-in-law swapping.
That's like one of the girls
who like gets engaged at your wedding,
like hands, they hand the bouquet over to you.
I actually think this might be crazier.
Of course it is.
Doing an outfit change at a wedding that's not yours
is so unacceptable.
It's unheard of.
It's unheard of.
The only acceptable thing is to change your shoes.
Everybody changes their shoes, that's fine.
Yeah.
And I know at actually a bunch of really
Orthodox religious weddings, they do actually change
because a part of an Orthodox Jewish wedding
is doing little skits for the bride and groom like sometimes it requires a costume change.
But other than that, like no, no, no. Having a second party dress, like a shorter version of your regular dress. That's really crazy.
I love that. That's hysterical.
So I tried on dresses yesterday and like I live to tell the tale.
Yeah. It can happen.
No, same. And like I don't open packages like after five o'clock.
So I could have done it last night, put it to bed.
Oh, that's an interesting boundary you've put up.
Why is that?
No, like it's just when I start to wind down for the day
and like anything that's coming in
once I've started like cooking dinner,
cause then it's like dinner, bath,
but it's just a hectic time.
And then after that time, like don't ask me for anything.
Like, yeah, I love that.
Don't even if it's a tiny,
I'm not opening anything till tomorrow.
The only, I'll do like email work,
but I will not do anything physical.
I'm sad.
Well, I know you were putting in the TV recap work
because I woke up with a text message from Jackie
about Running Point, so that means you started it.
I started Running Point.
I watched the new episode of Kardashians
because I was one behind and it just brought me
so much joy to see Kim Kardashian and Andrew Huberman
in the same room.
And I heard they had quite a lot of chemistry.
I have to put it out into the universe.
Not only do they need to get together,
but I also, if anybody knows either of them
and knows if they have gone even on one date,
like please let me know,
because also the vibe I was getting from the scene
is that they might've already been dating.
And that's why this meeting was even happening,
because they were looking at each other like so smiley.
I don't think because they were just into each other
on the first meet, I think maybe they're dating
because Kim does have a boyfriend.
Okay, I like where your head is at.
I just don't know.
I don't know if I can see these two
like truly being compatible,
especially when you think about like
his sordid relationship history,
seems like a really toxic boyfriend.
Well, I don't think he's a great boyfriend,
but I do think the right woman
could get him
on the straight and narrow.
You know, I think there might be a woman out there
that would be worth changing for, for him.
And he loves women, obviously.
Loves women.
Kim's a whole lot of woman.
I feel like he would be so into her.
And I feel like for her, he's perfect
because she really shouldn't date like a businessman
because she's gonna be more successful than any businessman.
Obviously she shouldn't date anyone.
There's only room for one star.
She shouldn't date anyone in Hollywood.
She shouldn't date any athlete.
No, but a scientist who has like an interest in fame.
And you know, up at Stanford and she goes to like law school
and they could like pack their lunches together
in the morning.
I'm obsessed.
Oh, they're like two students.
Yeah, wait, it's kind of like lessons in chemistry.
Wait, can you tell me what you thought about Running Point?
I'm so curious.
Oh, I thought it was really cute.
I didn't like the vibe of the show.
It's like a sitcom almost where it's like a comfort show.
It's not like high stakes like.
No, it's not.
It's about a family business,
like a family basketball team.
And it could be more like, you know, succession
where it's like drama and who's-
No.
It's like dopey and hysterical.
And also it reminds me a little bit of Ted Lasso,
but again, like a little less serious.
It's a swirly Ted Lasso.
And it's a comfort show.
Like it's something that would have aired on ABC
at eight o'clock back in the day.
I watched a lot of it last night too.
And did you feel, first of all,
what did you think of Chad Hanks?
He's the star.
He's so great.
He's so funny.
I feel like he's a little short
to be playing a basketball player,
but they work the angles, you know?
They're like-
Yeah, he's also jacked.
He's jacked.
He must've like gone on Roy's for this
because he's always been like a big guy,
but he's never been like meathead.
He's huge.
I don't know how he fits in the door.
He's huge.
He's definitely like the best parts of the show.
Cause he's so funny.
Yes, for sure.
And I posted this on my Instagram
and I got a lot of feedback of people agreeing with me.
Cause when I first saw the show, I don't know what about it.
Maybe it was like looks,
cause it's not so much personality,
but maybe the way they talk,
he reminds me like a little bit like his character
might've been loosely based off Travis Kelsey.
I saw that and I do agree,
but then I think if that were the case,
they wouldn't have called him Travis.
Cause that's like too obvious.
Oh, it's the same Travis.
I don't know anybody's name in the show.
Oh, okay.
That's interesting.
Also, I saw an interview Chet did
and he was like talking so glowingly about this project
because they like totally let him be himself.
They say the character is literally him.
Which I can also see.
Yeah.
No, it's really fun.
It's a nice thing to watch at the end of the day.
I don't feel like pressure to finish it quickly.
Also Maria Sofia Estrada is in it.
I clocked her in two.
How did you realize it was her?
When in her first scene she plays Anna Moreno,
the lawyer for Jackie.
And she was just like being extra.
And I'm like, I know this person.
I'm like, is that Maria Sofia Estrada?
And I literally Googled it and confirmed.
I very, very recently watched again,
the Maria Sofia Estrada episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm,
which are some of the funniest.
And so I knew it's like, I didn't even need to look it up.
Like I'm like, it was Maria Sofia.
Oh, okay.
I had to look it up to confirm.
Cause I was like, is that Maria Sofia?
It's crazy that she can be someone
other than Maria Sofia Estrada,
but she's doing a great job as Hannah.
No, and I love that she has been tapped for like,
she was so funny and curb.
She's really a very talented actress
and she's relatively unknown.
So like the fact that Mindy tapped her,
like Mindy saw something in Maria Sofia.
Yeah, yeah, good times.
Let me ask you a question,
because there was a couple of things
I wanted to talk about before,
but I don't wanna step on the toes of any stories.
Is Kyle Youce check a story?
He is, we have a sports, our first story,
because we're in like a very much a sports mode
between running point, there's been like trade news,
I guess this is like trade time
and it's affecting the girlies on a serious level.
It's train time?
Trade time.
Oh, trade duh.
Trade, cause there are trades happening.
So we have a trades story.
So then I won't talk about my Kyle Uchik feelings
because I have a lot that I wanna share,
but the last thing I wanted to share before we dive in
is I watched last night Andrew Schultz's comedy special.
Okay.
And something happened to me
that's never happened to me before in my life.
I might even cry talking about it now.
I'm so emotional.
Jackie, I was hysterically crying.
Wow.
So, oh my God, I'm literally- And the part, I was hysterically crying. Wow. So, I'm gonna literally-
And the part that's never happened
is like you never cried from a comedy special.
A comedy special?
Like I've cried from laughing so hard,
but like it was very emotional.
So it's all about fertility.
So he just had a baby and he talks all about like IUI, IVF
and fertility issues, which for him and his wife,
he was the one who had like some issues.
And so what that was like for him,
and it was obviously funny, you know,
like she isn't in a cup, like,
but he talks about the whole journey,
like kind of the way we talk about it,
but hearing it from a man was like very funny.
And I liked that he was really, he talked about his wife.
I don't know anything about her, but like so much respect.
Like he literally loves his wife so much.
So he was like being funny, like my dick, my dick, ha ha,
but like still with so much respect for his wife
and it was just like really well done.
And then by the end of it,
it's their journey to getting pregnant.
So they do IUI, it doesn't work, they do IVF.
It takes, but like they're really like unsure.
And then she wakes up and she's like,
oh my God, I had the worst dream
that I had a miscarriage and she goes to the bathroom
and there's blood everywhere.
So they go to the doctor immediately, like rush to the hospital and then he's like, oh my God, I had the worst dream that I had a miscarriage. And she goes to the bathroom and there's blood everywhere. So they go to the doctor immediately,
like rush to the hospital.
And then he's like, and then my wife said
that I could share this with you guys.
And there's a big screen behind him
and they play this montage.
First of all, he's filming when they do the ultrasound
and they hear the heartbeat and they like both start crying.
And then it goes into this like really beautiful montage
of her C-section and then like the baby's first gear.
Jackie, I was hysterically crying.
It was so beautiful.
Oh my God, I have chills, like spoiler alert
because I just added it to my content list. He got so serious at the end. Cause he was like, I was hysterically crying. It was so beautiful. I had chills, like spoiler alert, because I just added it to my content list.
He got so serious at the end,
because he was like, I felt so bad
that my wife was going through all of this,
and it was like my issue.
It wasn't like her ovaries, it was like my thing.
And he was like apologizing to her so profusely.
And she was like, and he was like,
she said something to me that I'll never forget.
And it was like, it's not like your problem,
it's our problem.
And like, that's what we're gonna do.
And it was like, he loves his wife so much. She loves being a dad. To hear that from a man who's like, it's not like your problem, it's our problem. And like, that's what we're gonna do. And it was like, he loves his wife so much,
he loves being a dad.
To hear that from a man who's like,
oh, like joke podcast, hot penis, jizzing in a cup,
the nurse was hot.
Like, it was so refreshing, it was so lovely.
Like the whole mantra of the special was like,
he loves being a dad, oh, he fucking loves his wife,
he worships the ground she walks on.
Like, you can still be funny and do that.
Like it was such a good special.
I was like cracking up,
and then I really was hysterically crying.
Obviously I'm like a little, I'm susceptible.
You're a little emotional.
I did, I cried about the wifi this morning.
Just a little.
Little bit.
It was so good.
Like I, it was like nobody's done anything like that before.
Like it was a different take.
Everybody does the same specials,
how funny story in my penis.
But he really did something new.
I was hysterically crying.
Well now it's on the content list.
Did Ben watch it with you?
Yes, and he was cracking up because it's really relatable.
Like the whole journey of trying to conceive.
Yeah.
Obviously like their journey was different than ours and other people's. But like the whole journey of trying to conceive. Yeah, obviously like their journey was different
than ours and other people's,
but like the whole thing about how like,
you know, you think it's so easy to get pregnant
and he's been on the hair pill, like his whole life.
And when he had low sperm count,
they were like, it's probably cause you're on the hair pill.
He's like, you mean to tell me my whole life,
like I could have just like not been getting girls pregnant
and had amazing hair, like that's all I had to do.
It was really relatable.
It was very funny.
What's the hair pill?
I assumed it was like minoxidil.
Propecia, I think it's Propecia.
Oh, Propecia for sure.
I think Propecia is like no low sperm count.
So watch out for that one.
So he's like, that's a life hack.
You wanna have great hair and get nobody pregnant.
Like when you're 20s, take Propecia.
It was really funny.
So Ben loved it, I loved it.
It was a great watch.
Okay, great.
Thanks for the rec.
Yeah, sorry for spoiling the whole thing,
but like I thought it was so inspired.
Yeah.
And I think I'll still be able to enjoy it
without the cliffhanger.
Yeah.
It also, it kind of came out of nowhere.
Yeah.
Like this deep sincerity.
And I thought he was like about to make a joke
and he didn't, which I liked.
Like it was just, and to hear like one of those like, And to hear one of those stereotypical bro-y podcasters
talk so glowingly about fatherhood and family,
it was so lovely.
A lot of them are fathers and family men.
Yes, but they don't talk about it like.
Yeah.
Even when he was talking about like his wife's body,
he was still, it was funny.
Like he was like, you watch your wife get fingered.
Like it's fucking weird.
I'm sitting right here.
It wasn't disrespectful.
Like, and it wasn't gross.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like it was all positive, like all in awe,
all in very, very like, you know, with lots of reverence.
With lots of love, with love, Andrew.
With love, Schultzy.
Everything I do, like I'm going to do last night,
with love, Jax.
By the way, it's so good to like constantly
be sending things out into the world with love.
You know?
It's so true.
I made salmon bowls last night with love, Jax.
I saw that you were making salmon bowls.
It kind of looks like you were making them with hate.
Like that it was a lot of work.
So I was making them with a bit of love and hate.
Like I, they make it, they act like it's an easy thing
to make like, oh, cause it's like just a bunch
of ingredients.
Who's they?
Just like even the recipe maker.
And you would think like assembling a bowl,
it's not making a roast chicken,
but it's just like a lot of chopping a lot of dishes.
It was so worth it though.
So worth it, such a good meal.
But next time what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna bake the whole salmon.
Like, is that so easy?
Just put it in a baking dish, cut it up,
put it on the bowl, and I still have some fixin'.
So I think I'll make it again tomorrow.
And I still have extra marinade, so it I think I'll make it again tomorrow and I still have extra marinade
so it's gonna be a breeze the second time around.
You just reminded me, I took your advice today,
this morning actually I started-
That's my favorite words by the way.
Just know nothing scratches my brain
than someone saying that.
That's so fair, it's giving like, you were right.
Yeah, which advice of all did you take?
You told me that I should do a
What I Eat In the Day Patreon.
And I started it this morning.
People are genuinely so,
they're curious about what other people eat,
but for me, because the Ozempic of it all,
I've always been asked to do a What I Eat in the Day,
but honestly, it's so toxic.
People are like, you should be, shut up.
But now being pregnant,
I feel like it's even more interesting,
and honestly, the vlog's gonna be three hours long,
because all I do is eat.
So I started it this morning.
Spoiler alert, I won't tell you what I had for breakfast,
but I'm doing a what I eat in a day.
It's gonna be for our Patreon.
I'm really excited to watch that.
Especially like, yeah, I remember I saw
one of my first forays into Matt and Abby was like,
I got targeted for like Abby's what I eat in a day
as a pregnant and breastfeeding mama.
So she is so hungry and she works out too.
So that's like triple the appetite
because you're so hungry when you're breastfeeding.
You're so hungry when you're pregnant
and when you work out.
Oh my goodness, I was sat.
Well, it's interesting because now that you know
someone's like gonna be watching you eat,
like you're, you're not forward.
Yeah, like you're putting your best foot forward
and I'm really trying like not to lie.
I'm just trying to be-
You're not using the paper plates you're using.
No, I did use a paper plate, but like I sat down
and like I used to sit at my countertop.
Like I sat at the dining room table
and like laid out all my things.
I tried, but I'm really trying to be like super authentic.
I know people like lie or embellish.
You know, they just make it a little bit healthier
or a little bit more well-rounded.
Like I'm gonna be as honest as I can be,
but the inclination to just like spruce it up is so real.
Yeah, you wanna put your best foot forward.
I don't think that's such a bad thing,
but like, yeah, you do need to film like every handful
that you grab from the cupboard.
But then it's like, because you're filming,
you're like, let's make a snack.
So Ben was in the vlog.
I think it actually inspires better behavior.
It's aspirational.
Oh, well, yeah, but then you have to do it every day.
Cause I'm in the vlog and I'm like, oh,
I'm eating an orange and Ben's like, do you,
I'm like, do you want a slice?
He's like, no, I don't eat before noon.
I'm like, oh, okay.
I'm like, wait, not you lying.
Like, yeah, you do.
We go to breakfast, like at the diner,
like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Oh, wow.
And he's like, no, I'm not lying.
And then he was like, you lied when you said
you have fruit every day with your breakfast.
I'm like, no, I do have a piece of fruit every day.
And we are all ready, now I feel like people
are gonna think I'm lying.
I swear I'm not, I have fruit every morning.
So.
The thing is, you have earned our trust over the years.
You are a trustworthy person.
Thank you.
You are an authentic influencer,
so I'm going to believe what you say that you eat.
He's like, I don't eat before noon, sometimes even one.
What the hell are you talking about?
Okay, okay, P.T. Barnum, the greatest showman.
Meanwhile, he had already had like a coffee,
his athletic green, so it's like, he's like doing stuff.
Yeah, no, he's like full of liquid.
He like blends a cereal.
I don't know if he's just helping.
He was lying. That's really funny. I guess we'll get Ben's what he like blends a cereal. I don't know if he's to help you. He was lying.
That's really funny.
I guess we'll get Ben's what he eats in a day too.
What are you gonna have for dinner?
Well, I don't wanna spoil it, we talked about it in the vlog.
Oh, okay cool, don't spoil it
because I'm actually like enjoying this vlog from afar
and I look forward to watching it.
So those were my, I had three things written down.
Andrew Schultz.
You know what I want to make tonight?
What?
A taquito.
No, a crunch wrap.
You would confuse those two things.
And you should, it's really hard though.
Like I went to the tortilla aisle yesterday
to start getting ingredients and like,
what is the crunchy piece?
You know what it's actually called on the recipe?
A tostada.
Yeah, the tostada.
So where do I find that?
You make it.
What?
It's like a mini tortilla that you fry.
Oh, okay.
I bought mini tortillas.
Yeah, and then you just fry it
and that becomes like your cracker.
I fry it like in a vat of oil.
Yeah, I'm sure they sell like pre-made tostadas.
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
But here's the thing, are you gonna put cheese in it?
Sure.
Okay, so I didn't put cheese in it,
which makes it really hard
because cheese is like the glue
that keeps the whole thing together
and I don't like cheese.
So Ben like has the hardest time assembling mine,
but yours should be good.
Follow Ben's recipe, he has a reel on his story.
I mean his Instagram.
Maybe I'll FaceTime him for a consultation.
Wow, I wasn't expecting to take a stray bullet today.
I opened up my iPad, you know they give you
a photo of the day?
My photo, oh.
Theo.
RIP.
When I said a stray bullet, I meant it.
That's so funny, I have an iPad, actually not this one,
it's an old iPad that we use downstairs, and I don't have a lot of pictures there.
And so whenever a picture comes up, it's like of Dan Schneider.
Like something that you used for the toast.
Like for the first week of the toast, it's like circles around his face.
Ready? Yeah. Ready?
Similarly, I have the Applewhite family from Desperate Housewives.
Let me see what's on this iPad.
Oh, Theo getting a bath.
This is like such random photos,
me and Ben dressed as Donna Kelsey.
And then there's a shit ton of pictures of your kids,
which I obviously won't show, but we'll enjoy myself.
Yeah, oh, like a bunch of, oh my God,
like so many accidental photos, like.
Yes, of course.
Like this, I love this one.
That's beautiful.
I think I should bring it.
Coge's.
I love this one.
I love this one.
Oh my God, how cute am I?
Coge's, you are beautiful.
You are beautiful, yeah?
Coge's, you are beautiful.
Yeah, that's right.
My nephew said I was beautiful.
Here's a picture of my sisters and my brother.
I can't see what I'm looking at.
I'm gonna crop out Margot, sorry, Sachi.
Can you see?
Oh.
I have all the like, getty images
from that Amazon party on, oh, pargy photos.
That is so photos. Real.
That is so funny.
Real parge.
I say we dive in, we also have dear toasters today
at the end of the show, which is our weekly advice segment

Summer is right around the corner and it's time to get your summer body ready.
And nobody wants to do that. And like a crusty dusty workout set,
check out Roeback. They have the cutest, um,
at least your workout where if you're looking to revamp your closet,
their dresses, their shorts are the most comfortable things ever It's really an entire nightmare when you have to take off the entire active dress to go to the bathroom and active dresses
I feel like last summer were everything that we wore
I love my row back one and I know I'm gonna be doing like the same thing this summer
It's just like so comfortable and it's an easy outfit
Well, the rollback one has built-in shorts that you can pull down without having to pull the entire dress down
So when you're peeing as much as I am,
it makes it really easy to still look cute
and not have to deal with the disaster
of stripping all the way down.
Also, if you're doing any sort of training
with like marathon season coming up,
they have amazing shorts.
They look so good on you.
They hit the right mid-rise spot.
They come in so many colors.
They're really cute and pargy,
but they're perfect for training.
Also, their sets, I feel like that's what I'm always talking about, for men and women
are so cute.
The hoodie and jogger sets, the crew necks are such a great way to look put together,
try very little, but look clean and aesthetic.
And I love the Roeback ones, especially for the men.
Don't sleep on their men's stuff.

Rowback, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.
Thank you, turd back.
I don't like that one.
Makes me feel like big, like a linebacker,
a turd backer, you know?
Okay, I won't say-
You can cut that one from your vocab.
I won't say it again, but I don't regret saying it today
because it's the perfect segue to our first story,
which is some football news.
Okay. Let's talk about it.
Apparently, I don't know if it's just, you know,
things coming in threes or like if this is trade season,
if this is the moment for trades because two-
Who else got traded?
Braxton.
Oh, right, right.
Two major trades in the sports ex-girlies world.
I'm actually sure other people probably got traded,
but like we know about these two
because they're for the girlies.
So, Braxton.
Yeah, no, and also like, I don't think actually
Braxton's is like that big of a trade.
I think someone in his position and his agent gets traded,
but like for us, it's a big deal.
Yeah, no, this doesn't like shake up the sports world,
but it definitely-
They're not talking about it on ESPN.
It shakes up the Earl world because of course,
like her and Braxton got together both living in Miami.
They live down-
They've been like a Miami-it couple.
Yeah, they've never like had to be long distance
or anything, so like if he's now going to the Texans,
like what does this mean for Braxton and Alex?
Now I personally think that like Alex
really loves him so much.
And-
Me too. This is a one year contract
worth $2 million.
So I think it's nothing they can't handle
and nothing that they won't get through.
But I feel like people are like,
is Alex moving to Houston?
Probably not.
I feel like other people might think
they would break up over this.
I really don't think so.
I think she really loves him.
Also football is kind of the best sport
to be in a relationship with
because it's the shortest season.
So he only needs to physically be in Houston
for a certain amount of time.
But I think people also really underestimate
how busy Alex Earl is.
Like she makes it look fun and she's like, you know,
a swirly, but she's like an extremely successful
booked and busy business person.
And I don't think she can be going to Houston,
you know, every week if she doesn't live there.
And I don't think she's gonna live there,
but I do think this actually
will be really challenging for them.
I do think so too, but I think it's just a year,
like we'll see what happens after a year.
I don't think this is like great news for Braxton's career.
Me neither, but it is because his time at like
the last season of his in Miami,
he was out due to an injury
and it was like a really serious injury.
It could have been like a career ending one.
So I think he rehabilitated himself really well.
So the fact that he got a contract
after such a big injury is like very promising.
But he's also again-
Yeah, and the Dolphins also stunk.
They didn't even make it to the playoffs.
So it's like, that's not practice fault.
No, I agree that it doesn't like bode super well
for his career, but he's also that type of player.
Like some players, you know,
your job is to be a professional football player
and you go to different teams all the time.
Sometimes like up until recently for Kyle Juszczyk, like you're sort of a franchise, the quarter sort of a franchise.
He's like a team captain. He's kind of like a leader within his community.
Sometimes you get that and that's so great for you and your family because you don't have to move.
But most football players like are more like Braxton.
They get a year here. They're lucky if they get to their wife and kids just like move with them. So it's, it's not uncommon, but like the big ones were like, yeah, well, you know, Tom
Brady was there for 50 years.
Well, he's Tom Brady.
Yeah.
A lot of them do beep boop bop.
He had a nice sit in the Dolphins where he was able to meet his lady love and hopefully
they'll get through these tough times and maybe they'll even have some fun.
That could be fun.
Yeah.
But let's talk about Kyle Yuscheck
because that kind of directly affects us more.
Yeah, so Kyle Yuscheck was also traded from the 49ers.
Well, he wasn't traded, he was released.
Yeah, so hopefully with the trade coming.
Yeah, so I had done some research
and I remember hearing about this last year.
Kyle Yuscheck took a pay cut last year.
They had met with him to restructure, he took a pay cut.
I think he makes a lot of money,
and I was also being such a curious kitten last night,
looking at all of his different contracts.
He makes a lot of money, he can take a pay cut.
So he took a pay cut, I think he loves his team.
Yada yada.
Especially for quality of life,
to be with your friends. Right, not having to move
his family. Yeah.
And then this year, they, six days ago,
had a restructuring meeting with him again.
I think they were wanting him to take another pay cut
and they had said if they can't reach an agreement,
that he's going to be released.
So I guess he wasn't willing to take another cut
or whatever they were asking him to concede.
And so he is gone.
And that's kind of a big deal for us
because obviously he's a close personal friend
and just like a trusted resource here at the Toast.
Two, it's why we're 49ers fans.
So like, I guess we're not anymore.
No, I mean, he brought us to the team
and now obviously like we have roots there.
I have love for the Niners,
but like Kyle Ushek not being there,
like wherever he goes, just know,
and this definitely like ups his value.
Like my fandom goes with him.
It's true, but the thing about me is like,
I have so much love inside me for so many teams.
Like I'm a fan of multiple teams
and I could take on one more.
I'll take on all of them.
But when I have like,
when something happens where I like have a reason
to like a team, like I of course love the Niners.
We are a Cowboys family.
I love all the Florida teams,
cause I'm Florida strong.
I love all the New York teams.
I love all the New York teams,
like hometown teams.
I love Josh Allen.
I love the Chiefs because I'm a pop culture girl.
I watched quarterback on Netflix.
So I like Kurt Cousins.
Classic. I like them Cousins. Classic.
I like them all.
So wherever he wants to go, I'll support him.
And I have, and that makes it nice for me
because I can buy all those shirts on Abercrombie
for all the different teams that I love.
Do you think that Kristin use Chex brand
because when she launched her brand,
they only launched with like four or five teams.
And it was like the big teams.
And the Niners were obviously one of them
because they're a big team,
but also because that's obviously her husband's team.
Do you think that they're going to drop the Niners from like their offerings?
They only have like five teams.
No, I think she has love in her heart for the Niners, but I think this will be an exciting
moment if she goes to a new team that they don't carry their jersey yet.
It will be like an exciting launch to do it with her brand.
So I think she can make the most of it for sure.
I also think, I mean, he's 34, which like isn't old,
but it's not young.
And I think that a lot of people were like saying
if he was gonna retire, I don't think that he will
because if he was, when they released him,
I'm sure they could have come to an agreement
where he like was just allowed to retire.
Yeah, and instead of being released.
So I think he will play, he has plenty of years to play.
He's super young. Yeah, I feel like Braxton. So I think he will play. He has plenty of years to play. He's super young.
Yeah, I feel like Braxton's closer to retirement.
He's 29.
Yeah, he's also been plagued by injury.
Like that counts too.
Kyle is pretty-
And maybe there's more longevity in certain positions
and others have the shorter shelf life.
So Ben was explaining to me,
Kyle's position is a fullback
and he's been on the Niner since 2017,
which is like such an honor to be able to be on the same
team for like eight years.
And he's like the captain, everybody loves him.
Like it's like a real family over there, but they are,
I don't know if they're like in a rebuild year,
but Debo Samuel is gone.
I think there's talk about Brock.
I was reading like some Adam Scheffler things yesterday.
Like I think they got to a place like two years ago
where it was as good as it was going to get. And if they didn't win that Superbowl two years ago where it was as good it was gonna get.
And if they didn't win that Super Bowl two years ago
with like Brock and everyone,
like everyone's getting older now,
like injuries, like it wasn't gonna happen.
So now it's time to like rejigger a little bit.
And I think that's what this is.
But Kyle's in a unique position because he's a fullback.
And Ben was explaining that like that particular position,
football is like sort of trending
in a different direction now.
I didn't really understand exactly what he was saying,
but like fullbacks,
like not every team even has a fullback now.
But he plays all different positions.
He does.
He was actually like a backup quarterback for the,
he also went to Harvard and graduated with a 4.2 GPA.
I did a lot of research on him last night.
I was curious just honestly how much money he made
cause I'm so obnoxious.
The 49ers also contracted someone called Luke Farrell.
He's a tight end, three years, $20 million.
I think he might be the future.
Well, that's interesting because they have a very good
tight end, George Kittle.
Does that mean he's also on the chopping block?
I think you could have more than one tight end.
Look how many Travis has.
Yeah, it's true, it's true.
And then they also have Christian, of course.
Yeah, of course.
But like, Christian's kind of been a blessing and a curse
because he's so amazing,
but he was injured this last season
and the 49ers went nowhere.
He's like, he's like too good compared to the other players.
Yeah, but that happens with any team.
That'd be like if Tom Brady got injured,
like the Patriots and the Godiners, so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So where do you think Kyle's gonna go?
I would love for him to come to New York.
He's from New York.
I feel like he could.
And Lord knows the Jets could use like something.
I don't think he should go to the Jets.
I think he should go to the Chiefs
and that way Taylor and Chris Sinks just be friends.
Yeah.
I think maybe he will go to the Texans.
Maybe they're acquiring.
Oh, they're like an acquisitional year.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is so rising point.
What's it called?
The running point. This is so draft day. What's it called? Running point.
This is so draft day.
Oh, the best day of the year.
I do really wonder where he's gonna go.
I don't know anything about like the landscape of teams.
So I don't know who needs a fallback,
but send off in the comments.
I'll leave on Zach's show tonight.
I'll let you know what they say.
You're gonna listen to Colin Cowherd?
I will eavesdrop.
I will not actively listen,
but hopefully I don't know why he watches
like Colin Cowherd more than Mike and-
Molly?
Mike and Mike.
Mike and Mike is the show.
PTI, pardon.
Maybe he watches PTI like earlier in the day
and I'm not around for it.
Cause that's like his number one.
I have to ask him if Colin Cowherd is now his number one.
I will never understand how there's like
a successful sports show called pardon the interruption
and then also pardon my take.
Also Mike and Mike are different than PTI.
I just because it's Tony, Tony and Mike.
And then I think there's another show called Mike and Mike
that we don't watch.
And then there's big cat.
I know big cat.
And then there's Jackson Claude. There's never not been, there always will be.
You know we are Tony and Mike.
Maybe that's why I like when he watches that one.
I'm totally Tony, right?
No, no, I'm so Tony.
Oh, you're so Tony?
I don't even know who,
I literally don't even know what these people look like.
Tony won't even get on an airplane.
So the other one goes to the Super Bowl and stuff
and does everything and Tony will not get on an airplane. So like the other one like goes to like the Super Bowl and stuff and like does everything
and Tony like will not get on an airplane.
Oh, you're Tony.
Tony's like the agoraphobic host.
And he's like older and he's just like
sat giving his opinions.
And the other ones are kind of like
the correspondent liaison.
Yeah, like the, you would probably recognize him.
He's like, you would not recognize Tony
because Tony's going nowhere.
Well, they better watch their backs
because Jackson Claude are definitely like emerging as leading voices in the sports world. It's true. I wonder
though, I'm just going to like head over to ESPN quickly. Like if other trades happened yesterday
and we only know about these two because they affect us. No, I don't think yesterday was like
a trade day, but you're right. We're definitely like in the season. Headline of ESPN 2025 NFL
free agency winners and losers, 49ers, Jaguarsars Patriots. Okay, so this was happening all over
Okay
So now you know that look out cool look out
That's the thing about sports like I don't know how people have
Shows are completely dedicated to sports because like it does get boring like the fun parts over like Kyle is traded like
Well, literally what else is there to say? How do people do an hour long show?
They do predictions too.
And I guess they cover multiple leagues.
Yeah, but red carpet at the pre-show
when they're really desperate, they're like,
I think Jennifer Aniston's gonna wear this dress.
Will be wearing the Dior haute couture.
On the runway.
This is a complete waste of time, you realize that.
I spoke to Jennifer Stylist
and she wouldn't tell me what she was wearing.
Okay, so why the fuck are you sharing?
She said, look out.
That's so Xana Roberts Rossi.
But that's also what they do on these sports shows,
like a game's coming up
and they talk about what they think will happen.
Like what a fucking waste of time.
And they analyze previous games too.
Churlay.
Are you ready for our next story?
Yeah.
One that you're really passionate about
because you sent it to me on multiple channels
hoping that that would help you out.
I did, I wanted to make sure you didn't miss it
because I have a special place in my heart for Neo.
If you've ever seen him sing the national anthem,
you know that nobody else should ever sing it again.
Like people are always like,
Whitney Houston's, Whitney Houston's is the best.
And it is, but Neo's is a very, very close second.
And he doesn't make news a lot.
And when he does, you better sit down and listen.
He made news yesterday
because he has a special place in his heart
for his four girlfriends.
Multiple, yeah.
He introduced his four girlfriends
from his polyamorous relationship yesterday.
Neo is not ashamed of his polyamorous lifestyle.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend,
he introduced fans to the four women
he's currently in a relationship,
urging critics to say something nice
or move on with their lives.
Since the world is so intrigued, he said,
I guess I should introduce my loves properly.
Ladies and gents, I present my pyramid.
And he tagged them all on Instagram, like,
being a really supportive boyfriend.
If that's the right word, I don't know.
Let me tell you, I didn't expect this from Neo.
Does it change like how you feel about his national anthem?
No, no.
Does it change just like how I think of him in general?
Yes.
Does it change like the place in your heart
that he was holding?
A little, yes. Does it change the place in your heart that he was holding? A little, honestly.
This is really crazy.
And it sounds like he was gonna be exposed
because he was like,
since everybody wants to be knowing, here it is.
He releases information begrudgingly with a gun to his head.
Yeah, or people were like,
I saw him with her and I saw him with her.
So they thought they had something
and he was like, well, you don't.
He was getting a reputation as like a philanderer.
Meanwhile, he said, jokes on you.
Yeah, now I don't know anyone polyamorous.
I've never met anyone polyamorous.
So I don't know how it works, but I've obviously come across.
But you watch Sister Wives and you love Sister Wives. I wouldn't say I love Sister you watch Sister Wives, and you love Sister Wives.
I wouldn't say I love Sister Wives, but yes,
I know the Sister Wives, and I did watch,
and honestly, I think that they are a testament
to why polygamy should never be a thing.
They were the most toxic group of people.
I believe half the marriages are now over.
Once that Robin entered, oh, it was over.
Robin was the beginning of the end.
I don't know who the Robin is of this particular group.
I'm sure, maybe we'll get a reality show.
We need TLC to pick up cameras.
Yeah, and we do.
If this is gonna happen and we're not allowed
to say something unkind or else we have to move on.
And I'm-
Well, I think we could say unkind things.
Why not?
Well, he said, say something nice or move on. Oh, you're saying, cause Neo told us. Cause Neo said that and I think we could say unkind things. He said, say something nicer, move on. So you're saying, cause Neo told us,
and I'm trying.
I haven't said anything not nice, but anyway,
it's just saying if this is going to happen,
it's out there and like, this is like,
we should get a show.
Cause that would be a great show.
Yeah. It would be a great show.
I don't know how this works.
Now I'm obviously thinking about it
like if I had four husbands.
That's an interesting way to think about it.
It sounds like a lot of cleaning and a lot of just chores.
But what if you had a husband who was a designated cleaner?
Kind of awesome.
Oh, that's nice to kind of enter a polyamorous relationship
where everybody serves a purpose.
Like one is the maid, one is the chef, one is the butler.
Oh, you know what?
I mean, I guess it's just a staff.
And then one that you really love
and you just wanna hang out with
and so everyone else is making that happen.
But that's the Robin effect.
Like that's really, and that's when it becomes so toxic.
And then when you start having children
with multiple partners, it really gets complicated.
So polyamory is all fun and games
until we're reproducing, honestly.
I don't judge, but like, I do a little,
if I'm being honest.
It's complicated, you know?
And I don't envy.
But you don't hear about sister husbands.
Like you only hear about sister wives.
It's true.
And I need to start seeing more women
in male dominated fields like polyamory and polygamy.
But I feel like you sometimes hear of women who like,
they wouldn't call it sister husbands, brother husbands,
but like they're spinning a web.
Yeah, but you're saying like a throuple,
but it's always multiple women.
Yeah.
Cause I'm thinking about like,
I sometimes end up on like strange TikToks of like,
my husband's girlfriend.
And it's always my husband's girlfriend.
Like there's no, my husband,
it's not my wife's boyfriend.
Yeah.
Or like it's like my wife's girlfriend.
Like from Ruby Frankie.
Correct.
That happens.
So, I mean, it's not for me.
Different strokes for different folks.
I have never been with multiple partners in my life.
And this is really crazy.
But I did like how he really got up on his platform
and supported all of his women,
tagging their Instagrams and like where to follow them.
Like rising tides raise all shides.
It's, it's, they could start like a little bit of like
a kind of a business empire.
Yeah.
If they've got that entrepreneurial spirit.
That's one reason to do it.
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
You know?
I do know.
What more can you say?
Are you ready for our next story?
Yeah.
A little Lurd and Vis traveling.
Nope. Lurd and Vis traveling.
Nope.
Lurd and Vis spotting.
Or Lurd and Traversing.
I think they're all bad.
Yeah, me too.
I think we should get to the story.
Yeah.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey were spotted in Park City, Utah,
keeping a low profile on a dinner date
after reconnecting on their romantic getaway.
So Ler and Vis have not been spotted in a while.
We knew they were on a vacation,
but really weren't spotted at all,
but they have just been seen in Utah
getting into a car after a dinner date in Park City.
Yeah, I don't know where,
I think we like all just sort of assume
they were on vacation.
I don't know where I thought they were,
but it wasn't Utah.
Although it does make sense
because when you think about like this time of year.
And then they went to Utah.
I think they did the sand and then the snow.
Oh, well, when you think about this time of year,
like where do cool people go?
Like they go to like Aspen,
but it's so seedy and it's so small.
Like they wouldn't be able to really hide away there.
And Utah is kind of famous for its like,
you could really go and hide there.
Like it's so big, it's so vast, it's not really sceny,
but it's the same pargy vibes, like Aspen, cold, Coco.
Yeah.
I don't think that they do.
Like Taylor, first of all,
is like her body's insured for like $11 million.
You know, it's not, it's not a smart business move.
And Travis cannot be getting injured in the off season.
That's like the dumbest thing you could do as an athlete.
I don't feel like professional athletes ski
for a number of reasons.
I actually feel like they're not built for it.
And it's a liability.
I actually cannot imagine them on skis.
A tennis player could ski like that agility,
hand-eye coordination, but big tall.
That's like not what I meant
when I said professional athlete.
No, I know, but we're talking about basketball players,
football players, hockey, they definitely do not ski.
No.
Tennis players do.
Because it's like girly.
No, it's not really girly,
like you need to be really coordinated.
And actually, when you're that big,
you're not really capable of extreme coordination.
No, and you have to be very nimble.
Light on your feet. Yeah. Meanwhile, be very nimble, light on your feet.
Meanwhile, his job is to be heavy on his feet.
Yeah, no, so I don't know what the hell they do in Utah.
They definitely go snowmobiling.
Cute.
They probably just like cuddle up and like cook.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that's really cute.
And this is like the first time,
I feel like every time they leave a restaurant,
no matter where they are,
it's like thousands of people outside
But the video of them leaving like it's literally the worst video ever. They're just like running into a white range rover
So like it can be done if they want to live like a low
Profile kind of life, but I think that's also just park city
I don't know. They have Sundance there like it's it can be fabulous. No, no, I didn't I didn't say it wasn't fabulous whatsoever
I just think it's like low key
and not everyone's up your butt
and you could just, it's more private.
Yeah.
So happy to see them back in the States.
Yeah, we vacationed in Park City too.
Where do you think they were before?
Like someone's island.
Yeah, cause all the places that like people,
like everybody goes to the same parts this time of year.
They were not in the same parts.
It's the same as Aspen, like it's so small. It's so senior
You would know if they were there. It's like teaming with people
Yeah, they definitely go to someone's island like a Richard Branson type of thing. Yeah
Well, welcome back hopefully don't get traded straight season bon voyage
Are you ready for our next story?
Does that mean it's number three? No, it's number four. Oh, I really thought it was.
Oh, it's number four.
Yeah, I'm ready.
It's actually a really crazy story
if my iPad will reload.
It's like people that I ordinarily wouldn't care about,
but they did something really crazy because
Lauren Graham from-
Yeah.
Got-
Lorelai Gilmore.
What were you gonna say?
From Gilmore Girls, from Gilmore Girls. Did you just have a stroke? No, no, no. I was just trying to think like Gilmore? What were you gonna say? From Gilmore Girls, from Gilmore Girls.
Did you just have a stroke?
No, no, no, I was just trying to think of Gilmore Girls
and also my fucking ad on page six
won't let me see the story, bitches.
She is from Gilmore Girls,
but like to me she's from the pacifier.
She let it slip, the father of Mae Whitman's baby.
Mae Whitman is her parenthood co-star
and she had a baby and she hasn't said
who the baby daddy is.
And Lauren Gilmore was on Armchair Expert
and is prattling on about May and her baby daddy
who is a famous person and their plans.
Oh, yikes.
So Lauren Graham identified Carlos Valdez
as the father of May's six month old son on Armchair Expert.
She played May's mom on Parenthood for six seasons,
and she was attempting to recall the last time
that they saw each other.
So she said, they're in New York now.
Carlos, her baby daddy, is on Broadway in Hadestown,
which I feel happy to plug because he's fantastic in it.
Carlos Valdez.
Oh, not her thinking she's doing them a favor.
Carlos Valdez.
Say it again.
So they're in New York for the next while,
and then she got this job in Ireland.
So she's in Ireland with the baby.
Why is she talking about somebody else's family schedule?
Are you crazy?
Now, this is obviously not done with bad intent,
because she loves this person.
But seriously, May Whitman is definitely so mad.
For some people, I guess if you're following Parenthood
or if you have followed Mae Whitman, which I haven't,
but people do, they really like her.
This is kind of like a Mindy Kaling, who's the baby?
And I guess, I don't know if we were meant to never know
or just not know for a little while,
but this is really bad.
How do you apologize to somebody for this?
I don't know, but this is really bad. How do you apologize to somebody like for this? I don't know.
But this is really crazy.
Like, I feel obviously terrible for May
because this is not what she wanted.
I feel bad for the pit that Lauren Graham
is going to have when she realizes.
Actually, in this situation, I know she's the villain,
but I actually feel worse for her.
Because as you said, it wasn't done with bad intent,
but it's just like, it's mindlessness, you know?
I mean, what do you think?
You go on a podcast, you just start like rambling on
about someone else's life.
So random, and it's like she's an older woman,
so like older people just like slip things out, you know?
Yeah, unless it was like May.
And so you can't like yell at her.
Unless like everyone knew who May was with
and she just hadn't shared it yet,
but it wasn't like top secret.
Like, cause they are together.
So you could spot them together or something.
You know, maybe it's like not the biggest deal.
It's just something that we didn't know yet.
But again, I'm not following it closely,
but this is not how you ever want it to come out.
Somebody who watched like two seasons of Gilmore Girls
and my biggest takeaway was that Lorelai
was the fucking worst.
This is such Lorelai behavior.
Like, oh, sorry, like why?
Like, I don't know, like I'm a single mom,
like I don't know.
Like she's just like so like rattled
and like just always like fucking shit up.
Yeah, and I feel like, I felt even bad
like repeating the name when I was reading the story.
I know, I know.
But it's not our responsibility now.
And Armchair Expert is a bigger podcast than this one,
so like more people- Correct.
Are there, but like Carlos Valdez could go on
to win an Oscar now and like I'll never feel comfortable
saying his name because like I know I'm not supposed to.
And Carlos Valdez could actually come up
and like kiss me on the street
and I would still wouldn't know who he is.
Well, he was May's co-star in Up Here in 2023.
Again, I know very little about May Whitman.
I just like know her face.
And May Whitman is from?
Duff.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then who's the girl?
I know it's not her, but like they have a similar-
Yeah, Bailey Madison.
What'd you said?
Oh, Bailey Madison.
Oh no, I know Molly.
Yeah, she's like the kid from grownups.
They have the same face.
No, to me, the girl from Arrested Development,
maybe Fiume Kay.
Oh, that's her name in the show.
That's her name in the show.
She's Tobias's and Lindsay's daughter, maybe,
which is why I confuse her with Mae Whitman. Understood.
And then do you also confuse her with Molly Maybe?
Never.
There's only one.
My sweater today is Maybe, just so everyone knows.
She's so cute. Maybe Funke.
That is like the most niche reference.
I literally have no idea what you're talking about,
I'm until you said that.
I do feel really justified for why I confused them
because May and May B are similar
and maybe Fion K is played by Aliyah Shokin,
just so you know.
Maybe Fion K, like I can't.
But then also May Whitman, who's that?
She's in this show, she plays Anne.
Jackie, May Whitman is who we're talking about.
The story is about.
Are you okay?
So I was right.
She is from a festival.
She plays Anne.
Like George Michael's little girlfriend.
Oh, she doesn't play Mae B.
She doesn't play Mae B.
Okay, okay.
Okay, I'm telling you, this is very confusing.
Remember George Michael's little girlfriend,
Anne, who everyone hates?
Yes, of course.
Oh, that's Mae Whitman.
That's Mae Whitman.
She's kind of had an illustrious career.
She has.
Oh my God, that's really all very confusing.
I'm glad we parsed that out.
I feel better.
So important to parse, my friends.

Our fifth and final story is potentially
the loseriest news we've ever reported on.
Oh my God, I knew, like literally category of news that I live for losers.
Do you know what the story is?
No. You know the story, but I don't know if you know that this is the one.
James Kennedy is apologizing for posting a photo with the Tate brothers.
He says, I condemn their beliefs.
So in the last few days, but do you James Kennedy posted a photo with Andrew and Tristan Tate.
I think.
Who are like, I honestly don't know a lot about them,
but they're like highly controversial.
Awful people.
They're like toxic man, like rape is cool.
Like they're really fucking crazy.
They're like Romanian.
It's just absurd.
Like you could look into them,
but I'm sure most people have heard of them.
They're not, you know, non-controversial people.
And let's be real, the Tate brothers,
nobody knows the other brother.
It's Andrew Tate and his brother.
Yeah, but Tristan is the one clapping back at James.
This saga is seriously.
So wait, so I don't know, but what event were they at?
I don't know where they were.
Something in Vegas, James posted a photo of him
and both brothers and said like,
this is a Bitcoin something like that Okay
It must be like some reference from their losery ass online persona that I don't know and he got his ass
Eaten to him like people were like, are you fucking kidding me? Of course he did so much backlash
So he immediately put out an apology saying I regret posting a photo with the Tate brothers at an event last night
I was unfamiliar with their content and the allegations against them
I only knew them as podcasters
who had posted a viral clip about Vanderpump.
He said, I have since educated myself
and condemned their beliefs.
I am sorry to all that I offended.
Okay.
So when that was the end of it,
I was like, listen, you need to do better,
but like you're seriously, like James,
I don't know what we're looking for
when it comes to like James Kennedy.
Like these aren't like the smartest people.
I was like, okay, you know what?
Like I could see that being the reality.
Sure, go off King.
But then-
But then Tristan, the brother responded-
The loser brother.
Responded to James claiming that James, quote,
begged and kissed my ass for 30 minutes straight
and called me a hero.
He knew exactly who I was and what content he made.
Then he said that James is just a pussy
who can't handle DMS from woke R words.
Fuck this guy, he said.
Okay, I just wanna say like, this is so funny.
It is the definition of loser on loser crime.
And if that is the case, like I bet James Kennedy
like never thought like his little internet drama
was gonna make it back to the Tate brothers
and they would be able to directly refute
his sequence of events.
And this is so embarrassing for everyone,
but really for James.
This is so embarrassing for James.
A part of me feels like maybe what Tristan said isn't true
and he's just saying that to really embarrass James
because we won't know.
And maybe I'm not to give James a benefit of the doubt
that he doesn't love the Tate brothers,
but I just feel like that's such a funny,
like mean like thing to do to someone who's now like,
want to take a picture with you.
And even if he had just seen podcast clips
of Vanderpump, whatever, like,
oh, now you're gonna diss me.
Oh, I'll fucking drag you and say this about you.
Even we have no way to know if that's true or not.
So it's just like he made James look seriously so stupid,
whether it's true or not true.
Like James is a loser.
Is taking the L.
And the funny thing is like,
I don't know who to believe, right?
I also don't care.
Like, no, I don't care.
This is so low stakes.
Like loser is gonna lose.
And you just love to watch them
like slinging mud at one another.
Like I bet in no universe did James Kennedy think that
like this Bravo corner,
cause it wasn't like widespread backlash.
Like Arianna Maddixon followed him.
It was very contained within the Bravo universe.
And I bet he never thought like it would make its way.
Even I'm in the Bravo universe.
I didn't see it until Tristan responded.
And then it became a story of like the whole story,
the photo, the apology and the response.
Hysterical.
Hysterical stuff.
If James was holding out hope to get on the Valley
or Vanderpump reboot, it's not gonna happen.
Yeah.
I think he's pissed off absolutely everyone
with this entire trajectory.
Yeah, from start to finish.
Like,
pissed off people who dislike the Tate brothers
and now also pissed off people who like the Tate brothers.
So that includes everyone.
And the Tate brothers themselves.
Oh James.
So, loseray.
All right, let's dive into Deer Toasters,
our weekly advice segment where Jackson and I
try to help out the swirlies in need.
And they are in need.

I need to get advice from my two favorite swirlies,
you actually can.

They're both totally anonymous.
Okay, are you ready, kids?
I'm ready.
Oh, wait, I lost my...
Are you ready, kids?
Ready?
Yeah.
Which one was this?
Okay, ready?
Ready.
Hey, are you ready? Ready. Hey, are you ready? Ready.
Hey, Jackson Turney, my PGM husband has decided to get braces.
He had the initial consultation and the orthodontist gave him two options, real braces or Invisalign.
Real braces are slightly more expensive, they will get his teeth almost 100% straight and
they will be on for 18 months.
Invisalign are cheaper, they will get his teeth about 80% straight and they will be on for 18 months. Invisalign are cheaper.
They will get his teeth about 80% straight
and they'll be on for 12 months.
Much to my dismay, he wants to go
with the more effective option and get a full metal mouth.
Obviously I'm leaning towards Invisalign.
His justification is that he's married,
he has no one to impress,
and he doesn't really care what people say or think.
My justification is that he's married to me.
He has me to impress.
And all I care about is what people say and think.
To add to all of this, we are very social people.
His sister's getting married next year.
We both have jobs that require a lot of FaceTime
with clients outside the office.
Now, if I really take a step back,
I do admire how confident he is,
but like, can't we show the world our secure sense of self
in a different way?
Am I being vain, naggy bitch,
or am I totally justified in pushing him
towards Invisalign?
Help, PS, I'm an OG listener,
like first ever episode with the block desks.
I love you guys so much.
Okay, so many conflicting things here,
like actual hypocrisy, I just wanna say,
because on the one hand, I'm like, oh, go off, King.
I'm married, I have no one to impress.
Like, I love that for you,
that you wanna look dopey and you don't care.
But then why does it matter so much too
if you fix them 90% versus 80%?
What's wrong with 80?
It's 80 or 100.
I just wanna say I'm so with this girl.
I'm sorry.
I'm so with this girl too.
First of all, this line is cheaper,
it's shorter and it'll fix your teeth 80%.
What man needs perfectly straight teeth?
Who needs perfect anything?
80% teeth is good.
Like what's, do you see Jordan Washington's teeth?
Like what's with the perfection?
So for him to be like brazen enough
to walk around with braces on calls
and it's socializing for 18 months,
but not brazen enough to walk around with 80% teeth
as opposed to 90%.
It's actually an amazing point.
Contradictory, of course he needs to do in this line.
How could you look at your husband with the braces?
No, I'm sorry.
And I thought that people did the metal braces
because they were cheaper.
I thought they were cheaper and quicker.
And it's a shorter amount of time,
but like, which I kind of get like,
oh, let's just get it over with.
Yes, of course.
It'll be six hard months.
Yeah.
I thought that's whenever I saw like an adult
with full metal braces,
I thought it was like the more economical
and the more effective option.
This is giving like a braces fetish.
Okay.
It's like his teeth are probably also fine
and he just wants braces.
But I do want to say to this girl.
He's actually a middle schooler who's like wants
their teeth to be bad because they want braces
because they go to school.
Yes, before I push you towards Invisalign,
even though you're already there,
I also need you to know Invisalign is not
a perfect experience.
Like watching your partner slip them out of their mouth
between meals is one of the most disgusting things
on the planet.
Having seen a grown-ass adult take out their Invisalign,
it's actually one of the most traumatizing things
on the planet, so just be ready for that.
It's obviously not nearly as bad
as metal-mouth full brace face,
but just know it's not perfect either.
No, but you guys can come up with solves.
Maybe he knows that when he's doing that,
you'll go wash your hands.
You don't have to see it. Maybe you're setting the table. Maybe he does it
in the bathroom. Like there are ways around it, but it sounds like he wants braces and
it's becoming less of a dental issue and more of a mental issue. I love that. More mental.
Maybe he needs to see a therapist, not a dentist. Okay, this one's actually serious.
So we need to like change our vibes.
Hold on.
Hello ladies.
This is a long one.
So buckle up.
10 years ago, I had a sibling go to prison
for sleeping with someone underage.
He was a teacher.
I was still in high school at the time.
For about two years after that, I still supported him
and I attempted to maintain a relationship.
Well, some more family drama went down about eight years ago
and I officially cut ties with him.
Since then, I've graduated college,
I've gotten engaged and married.
My parents who have been divorced for 20 years
keep pushing me to forgive him
and try to have a relationship again with him.
He recently had a baby and for the last year,
I've considered not forgetting,
but willing to try and have a relationship with him
for the sake of everyone.
My problem is I'm really going back on my morals
if I form a relationship with him,
and honestly, is it even worth it?
The strain on my family is really starting
to take a toll on me, and frankly,
I feel like an outsider, because my family's all happy-go-lucky
around him, and I always get the,
you should give him another chance comment.
I'm not willing to cut out my parents,
so any advice would be great.
P.S., my husband's family knows that I have a sibling
that I don't talk to, but they do not know why.
So go back.
He had a relationship with an underage person.
He was a teacher.
Mm-hmm.
And he went to jail for it.
Yeah.
But did she say jail?
Yeah, prison, yeah.
So even two years after that,
like she maintained a relationship with him.
She was like a young girl in high school.
But then other family dramas, she went down, she said,
and now she can't.
And then she stopped talking to him.
But even right after, I mean, he went to prison,
like she was able to talk to him.
So something else happened that we don't know.
I'm sorry, I can't weigh in on this.
I don't know enough.
Well, you know what?
I know what I recommend.
Kathy Griffin went on the Skinny Confidential podcast
a million years ago and I saw a clip from it.
She was talking about, she had a brother who was a pedophile
and like how hard that was for her.
Like he was like a full blown pedophile,
it was like a big family secret.
And you know, her parents like were very like,
not forgiving but like open and wanting to help,
and she was very against it,
and then he ended up taking his own life.
It's a really crazy story,
and I think there's probably a lesson there,
how she dealt with it,
because she's coming from a moral standpoint too.
She's like, yeah, well, he's my brother, but I don't care.
You're a pedophile.
And he was married at the time.
I would listen to that podcast episode.
That's my piece of advice.
But it's not even apples to apples.
No, of course not.
But like, if you have someone in your family
who is a criminal, right?
And there are different crimes.
Like if I had someone in my family
who was like a financial criminal,
I wouldn't be upset, I would say, help me.
But like, there are different crimes, right?
It has some more.
Right, right.
Wanna do my taxes?
Please, sir.
So I think that you're not the only person
who's ever had a family member who's done something bad.
Sometimes you can forgive, sometimes you can't.
So.
Or not even forgive, but just like move forward
in a cordial way while never being as close
as you could potentially be.
I don't know.
I just want to say like, if you never want to talk
to your brother again, like that's fine too.
Like it's nice that your family's like, oh, like rehabilitating him and stuff, but like that's not your job. And if if you never want to talk to your brother again, like that's fine too. Like it's nice that your family's like all like rehabilitating him and stuff, but like
that's not your job.
And if you don't want to talk to him ever again, like I support you too.
But the thing is the reason that she doesn't want to talk to him again is not even because
of what he did because she spoke to him after.
So it's about no, she said no, I'm going back on my morals if I form a relationship with
him.
No, go back to the beginning.
We I visited him and spoke to him for two years, but then family drama happened and now we
don't speak.
What's that?
Yes, yes.
But I think what she was saying was like she was in high school and so she had a brother
who did something wrong and she still like was his friend.
And then maybe two years later, she had some sort of reckoning with this drama.
And now she has like, takes a moral stance against it.
Okay.
Well, you got to trust your gut and go with your scruples,
but to be honest, I don't know him.
I couldn't say.
I recommend Kathy Griffin.
Of course it's easy to be like, he's bad.
Don't talk to, you know, but like.
Family, it's very complicated.
I would listen to Kathy Griffin,
but this girl doesn't even have an inkling.
Like she's decided she doesn't want to have a relationship
with him, but it's like, how does she navigate her family?
She now feels like an outsider, which is wrong
because the pedophile should feel like an outsider.
Yeah.
Not you, that sucks.
Our third and final is such a departure.
I should have done that last, that one last
because like we just need to reject it.
This one's so different, okay?
I'm ready. Jackson Claude, help. I married into a family that thinks farts are
funny. My mother-in-law farts around me somewhat regularly and it makes every
one of my husband's family laugh. Not me, it makes me sad and I literally can't
find what they think is funny. What do I do? I don't want to seem like a giant
bitch not laugh at her farts but I wasn't raised in a barn. How do you think I should handle this situation? I'm writing to you as I don't want to seem like a giant bitch, not laugh at her farts, but I wasn't raised in a bar.
How do you think I should handle this situation?
I'm writing to you as I'm sitting next to my husband,
who's farting hot fire gas, cracking himself up.
Please help.
P.S. I just showed him this plea for help and he laughed,
got up to go to bed, loudly farted,
and then laughed himself back to the bedroom.
Chivalry is dead.
Oh my God.
I just want to say I am you in this situation.
So I can really empathize because if-
No, but like your in-laws don't like fart in front of you.
In the sense that like, if I was in your situation,
I would feel the way you do.
Like I'm not like fart friendly.
I just want to say I'm fart friendly and I would feel, if my mother-in-law farted in front of me,
I'm sorry, I don't care who you are.
I'm actually very comfortable.
Like Ben farts in front of me, I fart in front of him.
Like I don't care.
But like that's a marriage, that's a sacred space.
So like that story you told at the end
is actually quite funny.
The in-laws, no.
If I may say, I am coming at this
from someone who is not fart friendly
So I empathize with you and if I were in your situation, I feel the way you do but looking at the big picture like they're having fun
You know, yeah, like you're not
Laughing it's like so harmless. The only issue I see potentially arising is that like your children will
is that like your children will inherit this and do this with half of their family
and like they'll be these people.
And that's unfortunate.
Good luck getting married.
Yeah.
That's unfortunate.
Well, he got married to her.
So.
Yeah.
But their spouses won't ever hear their mother-in-law fart
because you won't do it.
So that's better.
Yeah.
Like, do you really want to be like a wet blanket?
Cause if you want it to be, you could tell your husband
like in a really serious way like this needs to stop
when you go to your in-laws.
No, but you can't.
This is their family tradition.
Like you can't, you literally, if you say anything,
you will look stupid.
It's so juvenile, like it's in the city.
You can't say anything.
So like at least find the joy in it.
Like they're having fun.
And also now it's like, you don't have to be scared
of your mother-in-law, like you heard her fart.
Like that takes the pressure off. I mean, that's just like you don't have to be scared of your mother-in-law like you heard her fart. Like that takes the pressure off.
I mean, that's just like a really crazy thing to do.
No, it's so crazy, but it's like not in a nefarious.
It's not crazy nefarious.
It's crazy joyful.
Joyful, joyful Lord we adore you.
No, at least they're like fun loving people.
It's crazy smelly and it's crazy immature.
It's wild.
But it's not crazy bad.
Yeah, I mean, of all the things like your mother-in-law
could do and say in front of you,
it's really not a big deal.
It's better than the in-laws who massage each other.
Correct.
Crazy creepy.
Crazy creepy.
You know those like grids that it's like lawful good,
lawful neutral lawful
bad like I have no idea what you're talking about I'll show you because this
is how I'm this is how I'm measuring these inlaw behaviors lawful good grid
if I may like never heard of us yeah like I have to find an example this one
is of characters from Marvel.
So that wouldn't be good for you.
But you might be able to understand it if I send you this.
It's a Harry Potter one, but don't send me anything.
I don't have any devices today.
My phone's in the other room.
We can't communicate.
Should I just bring it up?
If you if you really care that much, then yes.
May I present it to the class?
OK.
Can you understand this?
God, this is so stupid.
I've never seen this before.
We'll talk about it offline.
But I do think that now we should categorize
your toasters as these things.
So this is-
Life isn't perfect.
You're gonna have to put up with random things.
So if this is something you're putting up with, like you're fine. This is- Like life isn't perfect. You're gonna have to put up with random things. So if this is something you're putting up with,
like you're fine.
This is chaotic neutral.
Oh, I like that.
Right?
It's chaotic neutral, yeah.
Yeah, chaotic neutral.
Farts go away.
They don't leave like lasting damage.
Well, it could get a little smelly.
That's a little, that's the chaos in the neutral.
Right, but the neutrality is that the smell goes away.
And they're having fun and they're good, joyful people.
If everything else is fine, which I assume,
like if you didn't write in that your mother-in-law
wasn't also like a huge bitch, like you're fine.
Also, how can your husband fart on command?
Also, what are these people eating?
Like, obviously farting is super healthy and natural,
but like you shouldn't be able to A, do it on command and B, like you can't get together for dinner without farting is super healthy and natural, but like you shouldn't be able to A, do it on command
and B, like you can't get together for dinner
without farting.
Yeah, but no, I'm worried about their gastrointestinal.
Maybe when there's a meal where like everyone has a fart.
We had chili for dinner.
Then they just like sit around and fart and laugh.
But it's not every meal, right?
Like if I really were looking for like major concerns here,
my concern would be like the diets
and gastrointestinal issues of your in-laws.
My concern was how did your husband perfectly comedically
time that fart on his way out the door?
Maybe it was just like, God was with him in that moment,
you know, or he has real issues.
He might have like IBS.
I'm laughing at him laughing. When I read this email for the first time,
I was cracking up.
Oh, see like you're missing out on the fun.
Yeah, no, I'm like, I'm having fun.
And I'm not even a part of his family.
Yeah.
Thank you to everyone who wrote into Dear Toasters
as always just like a fab journey to be on a joy.
Except for the brother.
Oh yeah.
Also.
And what makes you think we would be an expert in that?
Like.
I think when you're in that type of situation,
like you literally have nowhere else to turn.
Sometimes it's just take an outsider.
Yeah.
And I did check for an update from our swirlies.
Excuse me.
With the husbands who were sending nude photos of them
and nothing.
Okay.
So we figured that because I know
that when there is an update, like you will share.
So you just brought that up.
So you're saying I don't have to keep bringing it up.
You don't have to keep bringing it up
and like ruining the day and the end of the show.
I just want to let you guys know, I am checking.
We know.
Okay, I feel like the audience
have been going up, plenty of so lazy.
If you got an update, you wouldn't even wait
till Tuesday to share it.
You would share it when you got it.
I would, but I really only check on Monday nights.
That's our show, you guys.
I have to blow my nose,
so I'm not doing this whole long rigmarole.
Love ya.
Love ya.
Bye.
