Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Toast and Happy Monday. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Jax, or should I say Miska. Miska, if you're listening to these episodes in succession, I left you on a cliffhanger on Friday. What am I doing this weekend? If you're not listening to these episodes in succession,

what are you doing? Oh, of course. But maybe someone listened on Friday, waited two days on Monday. But maybe some people saved Friday's episode and they're going right into Monday, which is how I like to consume content. Sometimes I don't have to end on a cliffhanger. This weekend, I went to Disney World in Orlando, Florida with my family, Olivia, and her family.

It was the trip of a lifetime. Now, to be clear, let's just clear up some rumors before they get started. Okay. You went with your children. You were not Disney adulting around the park. I mean, I know, you know,

the consequences of what you do, you never know what's going to happen. It did turn out that our eldest sister, Olivia, actually is a Disney adult. We didn't know. And became a Disney adult. She didn't know either. Kind of took over. The spirit of the Disney adult. We didn't know. And became a Disney adult. She didn't know either. Kind of took over.

The spirit of the Disney adult took over for Trout Skin. But yes, we took our families. We weren't just like adults picking up and deciding to go to Disney. It was for the kids. They love a lot of the Disney characters. And we felt that they would really get a lot if we did it. And we went. So I had said on the show a few weeks ago that like Disney was in our future this season.

And we made it happen. And how do you feel now? You got home last night. I got home last night. I feel broken. Physically, mentally, everything. I feel accomplished. Of course.

Of course. I feel happy. Oh, she feels happy. I feel full of memories and good times and food because the thing about Disney it's like you're either starving or you're about to puke because the only food that you can get there is just so gluttonous but they don't sell salads they actually do sell salads but you can't customize no dressing oh Oh, not very accommodating Disney parks. No, that was one of my thoughts or critiques about the park.

Like there really isn't healthy food. And it's just like, why? You have literally everything there. It's not like there's no expense spared at the Diz. Yeah, at the Diz. Okay, so I know you did the firework show. I know you did the Mickey parade. You were limited, of course, in what rides you could do because, you know, with small kids.

But highlights, lowlights, best part, worst part. So the highlights for me were the things that the kids enjoyed most. And I guess surprisingly, what the kids enjoyed most was like the shows, the parade, just like seeing the characters, Mickey and his friends, like come on stage at the castle at Magic Kingdom, like once an hour once every two hours and they do this little like dancing show and Harry that was his the best thing that he saw and like that wasn't even on our schedule we just happened to be walking by and saw it so for kids their age like really the parade was amazing um there was actually another parade that we saw there was Mickey's

PhilharMagic which was a little like magic show movie type of thing really really cute so the things where they could like see the characters they love the best the rides a lot of waiting a little payoff yeah well I remember going as a child and I remember meeting the characters whom I of course had come to know and love on my television screen and actually being like freaked out and like not excited but scared but they're like enormous compared to you and I just remember being like scared of them they weren't scared but they were definitely you would never know that like Harry like is obsessed with Mickey he was playing it super cool like oh hi Mickey you want to hug my mom like by the way I have a memory of meeting the Lion King um character I

think uh who was it? Maybe Rafiki and like hysterically crying. Yeah, it could be overwhelming. Then we stumbled. We were at Epcot on Sunday and we were just like walking in this area and they were like, are you here for Daisy? And I was like, no, we're just taking pictures. And then I'm like, oh my gosh, it's Daisy Duck.

Like Donald's wife. Oh, Daffy's. Donald's wife, Daisy. and who's daffy duck she's from looney tunes oh she's not affiliated with this family okay my bad my bad so we're like oh shit like daisy and we're at the front of the line so we like we're like okay yeah well me daisy the kids love the ducks and then they come out she's like running late they're like daisy's running a little late and we're like okay daisy's a div. They're like, Daisy's running a little late. And we're like, okay. Daisy's a diva. They're like, Daisy's having a fashion emergency.

She won't be here for an hour and a half. Like, where the fuck was Daisy? Wait, what's the tea? She was drunk. She was hungover. Daisy was drunk. Daisy was caught drinking on the job. And up until that point, I was going to say, like, the park runs so. Like a well-oiled machine. Smoothly. So amazing amazing it's incredible the amount of people that go through the park every single day or every

single year like for the volume there's really not that much charge and not that much waiting and like the lines for security like they move everything moves it's not I love that it's not so painful and everything was so on time even you do like the Genie app and the lightning lines and everything really moves. And that was the first hiccup we had. Because like I need to know what was going on with Disney. Like I just need to know. Now let me ask you a question. Now a lot of adults who go to Disney, not Disney adults, adults who go to Disney with

their children really marvel at the drinks. Like apparently Disney's really known for its cocktails. But you were with your kids. And I know you don't really drink but like did anybody have a cocktail the first night Olivia I'm putting together like a little reel from the trip so you'll be able to see by the way you guys are going to record a podcast right we are going to record a podcast because we have so many funny stories from the trip so it'll just be fun to like rehash it and then also we'll take some questions if you want tips for going to Disney because Olivia is officially a Disney expert she could be a disney tour guide she studied she was giving us all these like fun facts about disney about the history like why

epcot is called epcot why is it called it stands for like experiential places countries like it's it stands for something it was meant to be like something uh a futuristic vision of the world cute and obviously when we're now living in the future and it doesn't really look like that but Epcot was not what I expected it was like kind of giving zen garden no the best thing to come out of your trip to Disney is like this inside family joke that Olivia is a Disney adult no and like we were by the way it's worth mentioning because I don't want to disgrace her name like Olivia would absolutely never go to Disney like by choice without her kids. Up until this weekend.

No, no, I'm saying in the future. She never had. Oh. Like, no, I don't think she would go again like without her kids. Well, no, she would bring her kids because it's like, what are they doing? What would she be doing without? But like if something if for some reason she had to go to Disney without her kids and like adult, I think she would love it.

Oh, wow. That's a heinous accusation. Yeah. No no I'll I'll have her respond to these charges but it was funny because she was doing all the like lightning lanes and the genie and the first ride that we did of our trip was this Peter Pan ride which they said is like the best for kids of all ages and the line was really long and we were like and this was the first thing we were doing and it kind of set like a bad precedent we're like this is supposed to be a lightning lane and throughout the weekend we were like yeah but peter pan line was long and she was like that's not how the genie app is supposed to work when it works right it will not be like that and shapiro was like did you work on the team that built the genie app she was so defensive of genie

i just want to say i have absolutely no FOMO from like you guys going to disneyland but i can imagine how much you guys were just like poking fun at one another and laughing so hard I'm like that gives me FOMO laughing so hard and we I came away with the conclusion that Olivia and my husband actually really thrived at Disney like I see that brought out the best in them they took it all on gracefully positively yeah conversely Shapiro and I know I could see Disney bringing out the worst in Shapiro we are not of the Disney elk Shapiro and I were not of the Disney elk oh I would have loved to have watched like a reality show episode of you guys at Disney like Like so funny. Well, that will be when Olivia and I podcast.

We will share all the highs and lows. But it really it's the most magical place on Earth. But what's so funny is like you go from the highest of highs, like just watching your child like. It's magical. It's really, truly magical to then like the lowest of lows, like brink of divorce. No, that's so relatable relatable not letting your child see this low point yeah yeah and i just want to say like that belly laugh that is funny every family that's walking around there like every parent who's it's a universal experience yeah no and

i just want like the parents who are there taking their children like you are amazing parents like you're amazing and by the way if you don't take your kids to disney you're also amazing okay calm down um it's just like you could go you're being so funny today you could go to disney and like just sit and watch people yeah like i didn't have the time to watch people because i have to watch my own children but like a solo traveler could just go and watch people it would be like an anthropological experience to watch these couples breaking down in real time totally so i kind of want to go now like no should go. And also what it was reminding me of a little bit, like with the outfits and everything,

like this three-day experience. Heiress tour? No, it was like adult, a family version of Coachella. It's like, what are the outfits going to be? Okay, I'm going to wear my best outfit on Saturday, the full day. Well, I do want to say you guys planned inadvertently to go at an amazing time

where you're experiencing a cold front in Florida. I'm like, I saw you guys wearing hoodies. Yeah, no, the kids were wearing gloves bundled up in blankets. I guess it's not great for the kids, but like for the adults. Imagine if you had to do all of that in like shorts and 90 degree weather. No, no, no. But what's so weird is that the weekend we went was, they say, one of the least busy weekends of the year. But I don't know why people wouldn't want to go in the cold. Duh. So the mornings, it would be like less than 50 there.

So the kids wore jackets, but then it warmed up over the course of the day. So the jackets come off and it was like beautiful, beautiful weather. But like Friday night, I was like, okay, I'll go in my like athleisure look, like, you know, not trying too hard. Then Saturday, balls to the walls. Like it's really the way I was planning outfits. Coachella. It felt like Coachella. Okay, how do we wear his best fit on Saturday when we the walls like it's really the way I was planning outfits Coachella it felt like Coachella okay how to wear his best fit on Saturday when we're doing like you know Mickey's

headlining yeah and then Sunday casual heading home you know not trying too hard chill yeah yeah that is so funny I'm so glad you made it out alive I'm so glad everybody had a good time I'm so glad that we did it and now that we know what we're doing a lot of mistakes were made by me and my husband. What would you say is your biggest, and I don't want to spoil the Patreon because you guys are going to do a whole podcast episode, but what would you say is your biggest mistake? Like if you could part some wisdom to the future parents going. The mistakes that I made, I don't think other people, like I made, we made some really dumb moves, Zach and I, like just. Are you going to share I'll we'll talk about them on the episode because it's just like but not not even in planning like in driving like we were just being stupid a little bit honestly oh wow okay well if you can own it yeah no we were being

stupid because like we were blindly following Olivia and like she's not a mind reader and she couldn't predict how stupid we were gonna be okay yeah so you'll get all the drama on the patreon but no no regrets just even being there like walking down the street it's magical yeah yeah no i get it and especially you you see it through your kids eyes yeah and i started a little list on my phone of like lessons of things that i would do differently next time aside from like the dumb human errors that i made like packing a lunch for the kids because the thing is like it's so hard to get food there and when you decide you want to eat like then it's still another like 30 40 minutes until you get your food and like they can't wait that long so it'd just be nice to like have had also like healthy balanced meals for them and just like in a little bento lunchbox like nothing crazy like a

sandwich so that they could eat whenever they were hungry and we could carry on it wouldn't just be like oh my god the kids are falling apart and we can't get food no and like the whole day stops yeah yeah I get that so a lot of lessons and I think Olivia and I will put our heads together on the patreon and like come up with another list and I have a note on my phone so that next time like I don't have to remember and it'll be just there maybe we'll become like disney annual pass holders i was gonna say as florida residents what do you think with children what do you think is like an appropriate amount of times per year to go to disney i don't know i'd have to ask the class like maybe for us because like for other people maybe more maybe for us like twice it depends i'll

talk to trout but florida residents do get discounted passes i heard i guess because our tax money like might in some way go towards disney because it's like a tourist it has like yeah and it has special perks in the state of florida it's actually very cool that disney itself it feels like its own city which by the way the last time i went which was one of the worst experiences of my life i thought the same same thing. Whoever runs Disney should be the mayor or the president because it runs smoothly. I didn't see any crime. The streets were clean.

The clocks were on time. Like really, really a well-run city. But Olivia was telling us that it's one of the only non-government, non-space spaces where there's a no-fly zone overhead. You can't fly airplanes over Disney. Wait, that's like so crazy. A lot of interesting factoids about Disney. I'm going to have to listen to this podcast with you and Olivia.

No, it's going to be hysterical, and we'll just like go through every moment. No, Jackie keeps sending in our family chat. She sent this like bedroom. Obviously, it literally looked like AI. Like, make me a bedroom for a kid who's obsessed with Mickey Mouse. It's like, the bed is Mickey Mouse. And it's like, Olivia's like bedroom. Obviously, it's like, it literally looked like AI. Like, make me a bedroom for a kid who's obsessed with Mickey Mouse. It's like, the bed is Mickey. And it's like, Olivia's new bedroom.

It's so funny. It's my favorite running joke in the family. And we could not have had more different weekends. No, we could not have. What did you do, Turteloo? Deathly ill. From the last podcast you guys heard, Friday morning, I was like getting a little sick. Oh my God, the whole weekend, miserable.

I haven't left my house since Thursday. How do you feel now? Not great. You look good. I feel good. You sound good. No, I am definitely sick. But I got tested.

It's nothing like, you know, contagious. So I got to work. Yeah. I got to work. Don't you miss the days where you're like,'m sick and everyone's like stay home don't work but it also made me think like remember when you used to get sick during the weekends like as a kid and there was nothing worse on the planet like my god I couldn't have gotten sick during the week now I have to miss my whole weekend that's how I felt yeah now for us it's like

a holiday falling on a weekend yes exactly but and I know we're gonna talk because I'm sure the stories are about football. I watched every minute of football this weekend. And something I really did want to talk about is me and Ben have started the OC. And we're pretty deep into it now. I'd say we're like 10 or 11 episodes into it. And I have an extremely hot take.

It's not good? It's not hitting for me the way, like, Gossip Girl did. I feel like it's kind of a bad show with, you know, a lot of redeeming qualities. Sandy Kenyon. I mean, Sandy Cohen. How far along are you? So Ryan's living permanently with them. He's been with them for like a while.

It's like I would say I'm in the middle of season one because I know the seasons are really long. I would say it takes a while for it to become really addicting and really good. Like the dialogue gets better. The characters get better. But I have to say, Ben is obsessed. Like as somebody who's watching it the first time,

he literally, when I asked to turn on the football game, he was like so mad. He is obsessed. And I know when we go back and watch old shows, we're always like, oh, you know,

the main character is the worst. I feel like a lot of people experience that with Serena and Gossip Girl. I experienced that with Susan Meyer. You'll experience that with Marissa. Okay. That's what they say. Marissa might be worse with Serena. And Gossip Girl, I experienced that with Susan Meyer. You'll experience that with Marissa. Okay, that's what they say. Marissa might be worse than Serena. For sure. Why does nobody talk about the woe-diest woe of all, Ryan?

Oh my God, I fucking hate Ryan. You would hate Ryan. Oh my God, and everything he does gives me the ick. Like, ugh, oh my God. I think he's disgusting. Jackie, I hate this man. Him and Marissa, perfect. Perfection. Perfect for each other.

Two idiots. The most annoying people. No, it's like his whole life, he gets a chance at a new life. The summer's over. They're sending him to school. He obviously just can't go to this school he has to take it's a it's a very prestigious school takes a placement placement school placement exam while he's taking the placement exam summer and seth are like ryan

we need you we need to break marissa out of the hospital she's upset her parents are getting divorced and they want to send her to a facility like we have to break her out oh yeah let me throw my whole future away for this girl i haven't even kissed yet i can't so dumb so so dumb no they're a perfect couple because she's like a moron like and he has a savior complex so he can keep saving this moron who keeps getting into dumb situations. Okay, in the episode we watched last night, I got the biggest ick from Ryan. He tried out for the soccer team. And he put on this like soccer outfit. It was like there was nothing wrong with him. He was just wearing like really, really long shorts like below his knee and like this gray

t-shirt and he was running just like such a freak and I was like like I just I hate hate and honestly love Luke so hot love Luke yeah like he cheated on her or whatever and I know he gets worse but like love yeah no but he gets better oh okay. Yeah, he becomes one of the guys. And it's really killing me just like not to scream things out at Ben. Because I know the big things of what happens in the show. But I don't know like the little plot twists of how we get there. Yeah. But like, I just want to say, I'm just dying to tell Ben.

Are you loving though, Sandy again, Summer again, Seth again? Okay, I'm so glad you brought that up. Best characters in the show are the Jewish ones. Sorry. And that's because the creator of the show who also created gossip girl is jewish josh schwartz that's why there was so much judaism and gossip girl like nobody even noticed sandy and adam adam what's his seth are the best characters hands down and it's because they're jewish i'm telling you. Now, Summer is a fucking bitch. And I know she gets better when she finally falls in love with Seth and they become a couple, yada, yada.

But she's so awful. Like, really awful. I don't know how I'm going to like her. She's evil. You will. It's crazy how you can. She's the Chuck Bass. She is the Chuck Bass.

It's crazy how a show can like make you like someone, like someone who you wish would get killed off eventually. You're like, oh, they're okay. Like Adam Carrington on Dynasty. Right. Who did you ask me? Seth, Summer, Sandy. Yeah, that was it.

Okay. Oh, and Julie Cooper. Spoiler alert. By the way, Julie Cooper is in. Her name is a spoiler alert. But right now she's just Julie Cooper. She's, you know, thinking about getting divorced from Jimmy Cooper. She's actually so mean.

Evil. She's Summer Roberts grown up, by the way. It's so funny. She is Summer Roberts grown up. And just Ryan was pissing me off. Like she doesn't want to live with like screaming. Like you just got here. You're screaming at the neighbor that her daughter doesn't want to live with you anymore.

Like know your place, bitch. Take a fucking seat. Like he's insane. And by the way, at that point, he hadn't even kissed Marissa. Like they just liked each other. I can't. He's the worst. He's so icky.

And honestly, he's like short and I don't like him. Hey, not surprising, but funny. No, but every time people rewatch OC they're like wait Marissa wasn't where it's like yeah yeah yeah we need to talk about

Ryan. Yeah. And I think he's meant to be the moral compass of the show. Yes.

But he's literally the dumbest bitch alive making the worst decisions. Yeah. No I think

Sandy Cohen is the moral compass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

For sure. So that's the journey we went on this weekend while I was sick. Very fun. Jolly good time. Jolly good time. Jolly good show. Yeah, jolly good show. We do have a great show.

As you said, there was a lot of football, so that's our first story. I didn't get to watch the football, but I did watch Liz Woods' story, so I do feel like I was there. But I'm going to tell you everything. I watched every minute of the game. Yeah, but I know who won the game. I've got the overall picture, plus Zach was watching Living Room. So every time I came out to wash a bottle or something, I checked the score.

Yeah. And we listened to it in the car on the drives. Oh, wow. Yeah. It was the least I could do. He was driving nicely. Okay. It was the least I could do. He was driving nicely. Okay.

And I didn't have, you know, I didn't need to. I didn't want for much. Bruno was chilling. Bruno came to Disney, too. But he didn't come to the park. No. But we did see that they had, like, a place called, like, Best Friends Pet Care, where you can drop your pets off. Because, I mean, they literally think of everything.

Wait. That's so smart. So smart. Instead, he stayed at the hotel, because our hotel was dog-friendly. We stayed at the J.W. Marriott Bonnet Creek. of because I mean they literally think of everything wait that's so smart so smart instead he stayed at the hotel because our hotel was dog friendly we stayed at the JW Marriott Bonnet Creek and Bruno was in heaven wait I love that yeah no and so he got to see the Diz he got to go to Orlando Bruno's extremely well traveled and cultured and yeah he went to Orlando yeah he's extremely cultured and it wouldn't have been a fun family weekend without strice no i'm so glad he got to experience even the littlest bit of that disney magic yeah because even when

you drive like it's mickey on the highway sign like mickey saying oh my god the kids were probably freaking yeah except harry's car seat is turned backwards so he oh yeah missed all of that what about in the mirror maybe he saw it in the mirror maybe he saw it in the mirror but he had its sun shield up i don't know what he saw but if he were in the tesla it's saw it in the mirror. Maybe he saw it in the mirror, but he had his sun shield up. I don't know what he saw. But if he were in the Tesla, it's all sunroof. And he gets to see a lot. But that's daddy's Kia for you. No, you needed the big family car.

Yeah. What do you mean? Like a, what's a big family car? The Kia. Like you couldn't have taken the Tesla to Disney. No, no, no. Oh my God. You sound like Zach.

You needed like the loser mom car. You sound like Zach being like, how could have taken the tesla to disney no no oh my god you sound like you needed like the loser sound like being like how could we take the tesla like he just wants to like put my car down because it's so superior to his no by the way you should be grateful like what do you want to shit up your car at disney let let the kia get shitted up i mean it wasn't like shit it up but no but it's like hours in the car with two kids all the stuff snacks of course like don't do it in the nicer one i know that's why we need a minivan that's why if you need if you got a minivan maybe the Shapiros and the wine ribs could all go together well the Shapiros have a Wagoneer and still we couldn't all go together did you want to go in one car not to the drive up because why not have all the space but we

should have maybe gone all in one car to the park. Oh, yeah. That was a lesson. A lesson. So anyways, good times had by all. Let's get into the stories without further ado about Miska Muska Mickey Mouse. Oh my, that was like our funniest intro yet. I was cackling. Disney will do that to you.

It'll bring out the best of you. The joy. And the worst. So that might be later in the episode. Here are the fast five stories that you need to know. And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Hinge, the dating app that's designed to be deleted. Why?

Well, Hinge gives you a sense of someone's personality and it lets you share your own. You get to know potential dates through their unique answers to prompts. Plus, you get a sense of someone's dating intentions and what they're looking for. And what I like most about Hinge from what I, you know, hear from the single gals is like everyone who's on there, their intentions are to date. Now, you would think that's so obvious. Why would anybody go on any dating app, you know, without the intention of dating? Well, it happens quite a bit, actually, more than you would think. And everybody on Hinge is like serious about dating, meeting someone, getting into a relationship. It's not like a waste of your time

if you're looking for a serious relationship, which I really appreciate. Yeah, no, it's for serious people who want something serious. And you don't want to be wasting your time. Time is precious. It's a lot to put yourself out there and put yourself out on an app.

It is, get dressed for a date just to be a waste of time. Yeah, you want to be certain that you're putting your efforts in the right direction. Yeah, and like what's worse than really like getting all dressed up, spending all this time going out with someone who's like not looking for something serious. So get off the app, okay?

Right, but those people aren't on Hinge, which is why you can appreciate Hinge. Because everybody on Hinge knows like we're here to meet someone. I met my husband in part thanks to Hinge. And we just went to Disney World. Yeah, by the way, I do think that that's what makes Hinge superior. It's like the crop of people who are on it. They all are just like actual people looking for actual relationships. Yeah.

Because like that's how Hinge positions itself, which is important. Right. So download Hinge and find someone worth deleting the app for. The Hinge app is able to download. You know, go do it. Your future starts now. Today's episode is also brought to you by Dermalogica. So Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant, which is an exfoliant from their skincare line, is a favorite amongst the

Dermalogica fans. It's activated with water and it's a gentle rice-based powder exfoliant that polishes and removes dulling debris for smoother, brighter skin. I'm such a big fan of exfoliating my skin. And I've used exfoliators that like are pretty harsh and they leave my skin really red. And I don't even have sensitive skin. And I found the daily microfoliant on TikTok it went kind of viral because it's like very ASMR you don't just like squeeze it out and rub it on your face it's kind of looks like sand almost and then you put water on it and you rub your hands together and it like what's the word I'm looking for um effervesces if you will and it's like really fun and cool to use but what's so great about it it's an amazing exfoliant that you can use every day. Most exfoliants, since they're so harsh and

have like crazy chemicals in them, you can only use them like two times a week. But if you spray tan a lot, like I'm wearing a spray tan right now, you need to exfoliate like every day. Exfoliating is a huge part of your life. And I love the Daily Microfoliant for face exfoliating. It will bright, well, for me, I really use it to remove dead skin, remove spray tan, but a lot of people use exfoliants for different reasons. It can reduce blackheads, improve skin smoothness, visibly brighten skin, and minimize the look of dark spots. So Dermalogica, which is a brand we all know and love, I also use their vitamin C serum, is a professional grade skincare brand whose products are designed to treat your unique skin concerns. So visit Dermalogica.com for more information and a free gift with an over $20 purchase at checkout.

That's Dermalogica, D-E-R-M-A-L-O-G-I-C-A.com. They're just a skincare brand. Like whenever they have a product, I'm like, oh, I need a new cleanser. Let me go to Dermalogica. I just trust them. They're made really well. A lot of toasters work there.

We stan. Great. Thank you so much. You got it well. Yeah. Our first story, football. Semi-finals, I think, were this weekend. It was the game before the game before the game.

Yeah, it's the game before the division championships. Right. So semi-finals, then next week would be the finals. No. The finals of the conferences. No, no. I think we would consider this week like the quarterfinals. Okay, quarterfinals next week.

Upcoming games, semi. And then the super bowl so this was important in terms of who would win the packers played the niners and and let me say let me say they gave him a good run for their money they did oh my god wait i'm obsessed have you seen the clip going viral from this game um this like enormous defensive player like by the way the games were so tense like everybody was fighting like physically fighting in every game and the Packers versus Niners one like had a lot of fighting and like people were like throwing words around and one of the Packers players like tried to get involved but this enormous defensive lineman just like kind

of put his hand out and the player fell to the ground like just he put no effort Jackie do you know who the player was the player who fell to the ground yeah Christian McCaffrey no no it was a Packers player who fell to the ground yep who do we know except for Aaron Rodgers the fact that you don't even know it makes the story even greater Simone Biles's husband Jonathan I was like he literally he went viral because the guy didn't even touch him. And he literally fell completely to the ground. Stop. So the Niners won, which was so fabulous. There was so much to take away from that game.

And, you know, the Packers, it was a close call. Like, not really. But, you know, the whole time it wasn't like, obviously, the Niners are winning. Like, it was a good game. They tried their best. That quarterback, Jordan Love, he's got, he's got his career. I saw an interview with him.'s like he was waiting the theme of his career is patience because he didn't start as a quarterback until his sophomore year in college then he waited on

the bench he waited on the bench as Aaron Rodgers was quarterback for three years out of a four-year contract that he has Jordan Love no and like I think people from the Packers, like, Aaron Rodgers was their guy. You don't get back-to-back guys. Yeah. You get a few good years with a guy. You know what they call that instead of the guy? I think they call that a franchise quarterback. Yes, yes, yes.

Which means, like, a guy. Their guy. And so I don't think anybody expected much from him. And he's really fabulous like really really fabulous yeah and I think like the team is very young and fresh now and they're just like killing it no I love that for them I wish them the most but like not up against my Niner game family you know no no no no your watch has ended I want to say like Jordan Love versus Brock Purdy like Jordan Love was amazing Brock Turdy was so bad.

Like he almost lost the game for the team. Yeah, Zach was saying that Brock Purdy's not good. He's not. And the thing is, But he's not a franchise quarterback. He's not meant to be one. I just saw a meme this morning, and it's not a meme,

it's just an image with text on it, that Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Ravens, will make $ million dollars this year and Brock Turdellew is going to make 870,000 like he's not a franchise quarterback no he's not and the thing is the 49ers team is like so perfect in every way like George Kittle Kyle Juszczyk Christian McCaffrey like they've got the guys Debo Samuels like they've like everyone else is doing like level 10 most 10 out of 10 a plus and they've made it this far despite the fact that like really they

don't have a quarterback and I know like what happened with Brock last year was like Jimmy Garoppolo got injured and this like fourth string quarterback came up and he wasn't so bad and it was like this cool like Jeremy Lin moment almost it was like oh cute fun but like why when the season was over did they not get a real quarterback? Like, why did Aaron Rodgers go to the 49ers? Like, why did they get someone? Because that's what I was saying. If they had Jordan Love or just, like, someone who's not, like, the biggest name

but who's, like, decent, they would just be winning, period. Like, it wouldn't even be a question. And I wonder if everyone on the team is frustrated. Like, why don't we have a real quarterback? It's a good question. So if they don't win the Super Bowl or make it to the Super Bowl, it'll be because of that. It won't be because of anyone else.

Okay, that's a good sports analysis. So it was really fun to watch. I was really happy for them. But I do worry because, you know, they're playing the Lions. The Lions won yesterday. They beat the Buccaneers. You know, Baker. I literally know everything now.

Baker Mayfield. He tried. And they were the wild card. They. You know, Baker. I literally know everything now. Baker Mayfield. He tried. And they were the wild card. They shouldn't have even gotten this far. No, and they should have gotten smoked. And it was really a nail biter to like the last couple of minutes. We had a game. We love when people like give us, you know, something to talk about.

And I wish them well. They did a really great job. And I wanted them to win because the winner of that game plays the Niners. And, of course, I wanted the worst team to win. I saw that in your story. But wouldn't you say the team that wins is the better team? I know someone could win on a fluke and there's the refs and this and that. Things happen.

Things happen. But technically, the team that won would be the better team, regardless of who wins. No, I don't agree with that. Because so many rules in football make no fucking sense. Like one I learned last night, a touchback. Do you know that if you run the ball into the end zone but you fumble not only does the touchdown not count you turn over the ball to the other team but there's a fumble yeah but like the other yeah but not not a turnover just a fumble

like you just drop the ball so the thing doesn't drop the ball when while you're in the end zone you have to hold it for how many seconds until a fumble like you just drop the ball so the thing doesn't you drop the ball when while you're in the end zone you have to hold it for how many seconds until a fumble i don't know but you fumble it that kind of makes sense why but if you fumble it on a regular catch you don't turn it over you just turning it over is a little messed up yeah yeah okay thank you that's a little extreme yeah no they just like make rules up in this game every time it's like I don't know I just just because you win doesn't mean you're the better team I stand by that okay that's definitely up for debate I don't disagree but I think you know it could be a great debate for someone else so then Detroit and and the Buccaneers and the debt has been on my mind a lot lately because the debt toasters are

not like letting this go and no they're not and they're making a really good case for the debt and every game that the debt wins it's like we haven't won this game in 60 years and then the next one 70 years so I do like the history of it all I think their shade of blue is a gorgeous shade of blue I'm so glad you brought that up it's like pastel it's a really beautiful shade of blue is a gorgeous shade of blue i'm so glad you brought that up it's like pastel it's a really beautiful shade of blue that i wouldn't mind seeing on the super bowl field i wouldn't especially if they played the purple oh but now we're cleaning the super bowl logo conspiracy theory oh yeah we talked about very much and it's very much intact because the ravens and the niners are both in.

And it's making it seem kind of like a possibility. The thing is, though, the debt blue color is not a primary color. So it would never be in the Super Bowl logo because that would be weird. Wait, but purple's not a primary color. No, but the shade of purple, it's not like they're the lavenders. Oh, I know what you mean. But also, Ben and I. It's not a hard blue.

I said, do you really feel like the NFL is scripted? He's like, maybe. But they wouldn't be dumb enough to tell you with the logo. It's so true. It could be an Easter egg. Yeah, they might have interests. It's definitely in their best interest to get the Chiefs to the Super Bowl. So many people tuning in for Taylor.

It's in their best interest. It's in their best interest. Except Taylor really can't go. We checked her tour schedule. Oh tour schedule oh that's true actually but maybe she can make it work she has a plane yeah but like it's in their best interest to you know give a good call to the refs over here like for sure they're not going to broadcast it in the logo like they're not leaving us easter eggs they don't want us to figure it out the red in the logo could be the Chiefs too but there's no purple for them to play against. Right, exactly.

So yesterday I was thinking, actually, the Buccaneers could win and then play the Niners, and then maybe the Buccaniners win. The Buccaneers. Buccaneers, and they're the red. But no, they lost. They were not the red. No, I was being hopeful. I don't think anybody feels bad for the Buccaneers. One, they were the wild card mazel tov for even getting to this place.

And two, they just won a Super Bowl recently. Like, it's not your time. But can I tell you who I actually anybody feels bad for the Buccaneers. One, they were the wild card mazel tov for even getting to this place. And two, they just won a Super Bowl recently. Like, it's not your time. But can I tell you who I actually do feel bad for? Who did the debt play? No, not them. Oh, them. The Bills. The Bills.

The Bills are Bills strong. Let me tell you why I feel bad for the Bills. Because I was rooting for them. I'm not going to lie. I do love an underdog. It's a New York team. I'm sorry I'm from New York. And you know that Josh Allen, he's got charisma and he's got old tweets. Two things he and I both have in common. And I just I don't know. And a love for Hailee Seinfeld. Yes I kind of just like love him even though like in the DMs everybody was making me hate him. Like apparently he

cheated on his old girlfriend, got a girl pregnant. Pa off yeah yeah but I'm just sticking to like my ignorance is bliss ignorance is bliss and he's a franchise quarterback like he is um he scored so many touchdowns like he himself like he ran with the ball like I'm I kind of like as I was watching the game was falling more and more in love with Josh Allen and the team and they you know it's like every year they get so so close but they never really just like get there and I don't know I was kind of feeling like maybe it's their year especially when I you know put them next to the Chiefs who I'm like no offense like I'm just like a little bit over I feel like all we talk about is the Chiefs and it's Chiefs this and Chiefs that and they won last year and it's like always their time and I know they're amazing but like I'm just

like oh like can somebody else get a little bit of attention? Yeah, like the Chiefs are whatever the opposite of the underdog is. They are that. You know, the obvious choice. Oh, always winning, stays winning. It's annoying. Goliath versus David. Goliath.

Yes. And a lot of people were saying like, that's very much what it was like for like 10 years with Tom Brady and the Patriots. Right, right. And it's annoying. It's annoying. Like, can somebody else have a little fun? Yeah, I wouldn't have minded the Bills winning either, but considering the Chiefs won, we got, you know, what is also a big story from the weekend, which was the tailored celebrations of it all. Yeah, so Taylor was at the game in a suite, which of course we knew she she was going to be but why was this game different from all other games well it was the first playoff game where Travis's brother Jason was able to attend and not only did he attend but he got wasted he went to a tailgate

before and he brought his wife and we were talking last week how we feel like Kylie Kelsey and Taylor are not friends now they were in the suite together there were a couple of photos of them talking I don't think it really proves that they're like friends no they behaved though but I feel like Taylor can charm anyone I know it's like you think you're not gonna like her and then you meet her and she's just amazing yeah so I feel like they hit it off they might have not even ever met up until this point but I feel like they click just because I think it's Taylor's mission to click she's not gonna have a sister-in-law that she doesn't get along with like she's gonna make everyone like her yeah no and I think her and Jason got along really well and I feel like they haven't spent a lot of time together but when you think about it kind of reminded me a little bit of like

um in a really like wrong way how like when before Harry Prince Harry got married it was like Harry William and Kate they were like a throuple really and that's really what Jason Travis and Kylie Kelsey have been like he's been he fucking loves his sister-in-law and now it's Jason's time to like give that same energy to Travis's new girlfriend and I feel like he went in and just like did the most 10 out of 10 and I do feel I always find it interesting like which friends Taylor decides to bring to what game and she brought Cara Delevingne which like I kind of thought was weird until I realized like Cara Delevingne is Jason Kelsey like they're thought was weird until I realized like Cara Delevingne is Jason Kelsey. Like they're the same.

Okay. She is. I agree. I thought it was weird one because also she's not American. So I don't think she cares about football. Because at first I was like, you should bring your Eagles friend fan, maybe a friend from Pennsylvania. Yeah.

But Cara Delevingne also is sober now. So we reported that. Well, because she was not in a good place. She had been rehabilitated. I don't know. You know, some people might come off of one thing, but still drink. So I don't know what. Me neither.

But it's not the type of environment for actually. It's not even about the type of environment. But I think like former Cara Delevingne is more akin to Jason Kelsey than who knows but even in still in all the pictures she's like being silly goofy no she looked like her old self like she doesn't have to be drinking to to be her fun loving self true true true but I don't know that's a good question I just always find it interesting like who gets the invite to which games maybe it's just based on availability you know yeah yeah but, it looked to be like that was the best suite in the house. I mean, it usually is, but they were generally having a jolly good time.

Brittany was there. Brittany was there. Jackson was there. Oh, I didn't see him. I did. They're trying to hide him. You don't miss him. I've never met him.

No, they have a suite full of people to keep Jackson down. Yeah, and it probably sucks for Brittany, because I'm sure Taylor would get her own suite, Have a suite full of people to like keep. Yep. Keep Jackson down. Yeah. Like it probably sucks for Britney because I'm sure like Taylor would get her own suite, you know, but like, you know, include Britney. But with Britney comes all this baggage. Really? Why does that suck for Britney? Because it's like, oh, hey, Taylor, I want to go to the game together.

Can I bring my sex offender brother in law? Like it sucks. Okay. But she could split from him sometimes. He could go with friends. No, no. Like she can't. That's her. That's like that's Patrick's she could split from him sometimes he could go with no no no no like she can't that's her that's like that's Patrick's brother no I know but like she's okay if you were a football player they are a package if you were a football player Ben and I would go to a lot of

games together but if sometime like Ben wanted to go get a suite with the boys like I could fend for myself okay in this scenario are you a sex offender like well no no and by the way no it's like they take a plane there together they're not going to charter two different planes and like these tickets are like so hard to get they get one big suite like for everyone no jackson you have to go get another suite where the hell is jackson gonna sit like like that's her brother like you know like it or not their blood yeah no but like ben could get a suite with his friends and like like, just throw me a couple tickets. For sure, but, like, this analogy is just not Congress because you are not a sex offender.

No, but because I'm not a sex offender, like, I deserve, like, it's less of, say I was, then for sure he's going to throw me out of the suite and throw me a couple tickets. But considering we're all good, it still wouldn't be weird that if we don't go to every game together. I don't know. Like, this is a big game. It's not just like a regular season game.

That's true. I just think it's interesting. So that's the news. It was so fun. Also, Travis did the heart. Everyone's losing their minds. So he blew a kiss and then did the heart. After he scored a touchdown and then did the heart after he scored a

touchdown and he scored three honestly it was one of the cutest things i've ever seen in my life like sorry like i loved it it was really cute and it reminded me of course every touchdown he's looking at taylor like that's my girl but it to me that was like his equivalent of her changing the lyric to karma's a guy on the chiefs it's like i'm doing this for you in the stands i see you i have eyes only for you by the way love that analogy thank you and so true yeah you gotta make a girl feel special no it was so cute we got so much footage jason kelsey also like took his shirt off he was obviously like really drunk so excited okay also like i i know i'm crazy but there was like this video going around of Jason Kelsey like jumping out of the suite

banging on his chest whatever and I swear to God I saw two spritz cans like I know I know I sound crazy it looks like there's two passion fruit spritz cans where oh I see them watch right now it's worth noting we don't sell spritz at that particular stadium so there's no way they could have bought it there but when you have a suite and when you're taylor swift like you bring whatever beverages you like inside the suite so i'm just saying it's an option it is i do see something that doesn't look like part of the spritz can but and macy macy who runs the spritz instagram account was also posting on the spritz instagram stories like does anybody else think that looks like passion fruit like i I wasn't the only one.

Yeah, it does. I see them. I did like look at other angles and stuff and like it's not, but let's pretend it is. I just feel like Jason Kelsey publicly like drinks beer, pounds on his chest,

but in the privacy of his own home cracks open a Spritz passion fruit. For sure. I didn't think necessarily that Jason was drinking that. No, I think it's Jason. Because there's a lot of people.

Okay. I could see that for Jason. Classic Jason. I could see it for that Jason was drinking. No, I think it's Jason. Because there was a lot of people. Okay. I could see that for Jason. Classic Jason. I could see it for Taylor. Of course. That's so on the nose. So on the nose. I just had the best time watching so much football.

I'm kind of obsessed. And next week, and you know what? I had to cancel all my plans because I was sick on Saturday night, the night of the Niners game, 8-15, so annoying. I was actually supposed to be out at a dinner. you know all's well that ends well and next week both the games are on Sunday and I'm going to the rodeo this weekend and I actually moved my flight home earlier so I could be home but you could watch on the plane who the hell wants to watch on a plane I feel like what else do you do I always just watch the airplane on my flight of course me too because i'm sophisticated like that but i just because like i want to enjoy close and like oh no but i want to enjoy like i moved

my flight home earlier but i'm excited to go to the rodeo yeehaw turd and lou this actually is my first rodeo zach thought it was really funny that we call him Brock Purdy Lou. I call him Brock Turdy when he plays bad and Brock Purdy when he plays good. But that's an insult to yourself that Turdy would be the negative. No right in this particular scenario. Turdy is Judy. Turd as Judy but when it's me turd it means you know beautiful princess in a foreign language. Makes sense to me. I told Zach he should listen to the toast like we're hysterical and we say funny things like this all the time oh I'm so glad you brought that up what's funny is that he doesn't listen to the toast but he listened to my episode of probably a podcast and he's been like referencing it all weekend I was just gonna say something about

probably a podcast what were you gonna say Shannon always says like this is a finance podcast because she gives like the worst finance advice she'll like buy herself a new Prada bag but then get an at-home manicure yeah yeah no or like she'll buy herself a new Prada bag but then get an at-home manicure yeah yeah no more like she'll buy herself a new Prada bag but like sell an old one therefore it's right this is a finance podcast and she's always saying that when she does like when she saves one dollar she's like oh got a free Dunkin today this is a finance podcast and so this is a sports podcast well this is a sports podcast. Well, this is a sports podcast. Well, the thing is, this has always been pop culture entertainment news podcast. If we're being real.

I'm like, this is what's going on in pop culture and entertainment. Sorry. So yeah, we studied up. So yeah, we fell in love with the sport. Okay. Sue us. Ben wanted to kill me. He's like, the game is over.

Like, let's go back to watching the OC. And I'm like, literally a man. I'm like, it's not over. There wanted to kill me. He's like, the game is over. Like, let's go back to watching the OC. And I'm like, literally a man. I'm like, it's not over. There's two more minutes. You're like one of those debt fans who wouldn't leave the stadium. Yeah. They were all just like sitting there being happy. Also, their quarterback is cute.

Jared, a cutie. I mean, we say that of every quarterback. Have we ever like discovered a team and not made mention of like their quarterback? Are we against any quarterbacks no let me think hold on there's definitely someone I hate no but see here's the other thing that gets me confused about football because like you know what's his name the really hot guy from Cincinnati Joe Burrow and then there's that guy Trevor Lawrence from their franchise quarterbacks like where are they they get paid like hundreds of millions of dollars

and we're not even talking about them right now yeah they didn't even make it and like Brock Purdy even though he's not the greatest with his 870k like I'm sorry he deserves a raise no I know but like that's what I don't understand how you can be worth better how you can be worth hundreds of millions like Joe Burrow has the biggest contract he's not even we're not even talking about him right now like how the fuck does that make any sense no it doesn't make sense that like these are the best quarterbacks in the league and you need to make the playoffs then you're not the best quarterback in the league sorry and brock no it's a team sport your quarterback can be only so good but if you don't if you spent all your money on your quarterback

and you don't have the other players yeah but even if you're i mean look at tom brady he's a great example of the fact that a quarterback could take you all the way no so over and over and over again and he even like went to tampa bay just to prove that point sort of okay respect respect yeah respect no you're right uh so i but i agree with you like like hashtag where in the world is joe burrow remember all the hoopla for trevor lawrence like i don't you don't remember the guy with the long hair? Oh my god everyone was obsessed with him. He like married his high school sweetheart. It's actually like super cute. And he was like number one pick. And he just like has this long

hair and like big big contract. Where are you? Where are you? Yeah. And then like we're talking about two people I never heard of, Jared Goff and Love, Jordan Love. Like, I never heard of them. Right. Makes you think. And Zach was telling me that Brock Berthelieu is the only quarterback in the playoffs right now who was not drafted in the first round. He was the last pick.

No, like, it's an amazing story. I know he's not good enough, but like, he is doing really good and he deserves props and I think he deserves a raise. He definitely deserves a raise. Somebody,

I read somewhere, yeah, Christian McCaffrey had to buy tickets for his family. I mean, he still makes almost a million dollars a year.

Like, that's certainly not living below the poverty line, but those tickets are really pricey and Christian McCaffrey, obviously, I think he's getting paid

like $50 million a year, was able to, you know, get some tickets, pay for them for Brock's family. It's just like not right that like everyone on the, it might make him feel some sort of way. And so he drops the ball. So true. Like he's looking around,

like he probably doesn't even see players. He just sees like their salary. And he's like, poor Purdy Lou. Jackie, Brock Purdy is like a man of immense faith. Yeah, no. Like super, super Christian. Like I feel like he's so religious to the point where like even if he had money,

he would put it all on the church plate. Like I don't think money does anything for him. For sure. And like I think his interior life like is not guided by money whatsoever. But like then he would have more to give to the church plate and i think that would fulfill him more oh that's true maybe he looks around he says my church is suffering your churches are gluttonous and look at me that's what he that's the that's where the resentment comes from

that her church is suffering purdy's church is suffering purdy's church is suffering. Purdy's church is suffering. Purdy's church is suffering. My God, we are so funny. Like, it's insane. Somebody needs to put us on ESPN. Like, this is the most funny conversation that's ever been had in the history of sports. Purdy's church is suffering.

Someone needs to put us on ESPN. Like, yesterday, okay? Yeah, new dream job. Oh, by the way, you know what I think we should do? And I shouldn't say it out loud because we're not going to do it, but we should. Live broadcast the Super Bowl? Yeah, like on our YouTube channel.

That shit would be funny. 100%, and you'll be here. Yeah, but then we miss the Super Bowl. We could do something. Patreon exclusive. Of course, of course. Bowl. We could do something. Patreon exclusive. Of course, of course. Patreon.com slash a toast. And that's just our first story, guys.

Are you ready for our... By the way, Jackie, title? Purdy's Church is Suffering. Oh, man. I'm sweating. Are you ready for our next story? Definitely. The other bit of content that was on this weekend, SNL, which I didn't watch one minute of.

But two headlines caught my eye. One. Miss Olivia Jade was there. Miss Olivia Jade. This girl is breathtaking. This picture of her. I know. This outfit.

She's perfection. But anyway, she showed up to support her mans, who was still her mans, who hosted SNL. So all that talk last week, just flush it down the toilet. And Rachel McAdams made a surprise appearance to introduce Renee Rapp. It was Regina on Regina Crime. Okay, back to story number one.

Olivia Jade. Told you so. Just wanted to say that. Like like we obviously knew these two were not broken up and it just feels good to be right i agree with you she's so elegant i fucking love this bitch like this is like i just only wish good things for her and dating jacob alordi is obviously like a very good thing it is a very good thing this picture of her leaving sax fifth avenue in her fur coat everything With her fur coat. Everything is perfection. And it's not a stage, like, it's not a picture she took herself and posted to Instagram. Like, this is a candid moment of a perfect person. No, I completely agree.

I'd die for her. And now let's talk about Rachel McAdams, who has been, like, noticeably absent from all things Mean Girls in the last, you know, year. Between the Walmart commercial like all these different things um convenient timing Rachel McAdams but I'm happy you're finally getting in on the fun you know yeah but she didn't interview and she explained why she wasn't in the Walmart commercial and she said she had no idea everyone was doing it so I feel like that I could see how that could happen where it's like oh I got offered to do like, play an old part in a Walmart commercial, like no thanks.

And then you like wake up and it's like, oh, everyone said yes. And I'm the only one who didn't do it. But that also shows that she doesn't communicate with her former cast members, which is hurtful to the Mean Girls fandom. I also imagine that they sent her an offer. Maybe she didn't know. So she said no. And then like when everybody got on board,

I'm sure they like tried one more time to get her on. Being like, hey, everyone's here. You sure? She said she didn't know. I know it seems like I'm trying to see the worst in Rachel McAdams. I'm really not. I just feel like she's not a nefarious person. I would agree with that.

She doesn't give nefarious energy. Yeah. I feel like she's very genuine. So when she says something, I'm going to believe her. Oh, wow. Okay. You're just like kind of taking Rachel Mc So when she says something, I'm going to believe her. Oh, wow. Okay. You're just like kind of taking Rachel McAdams at her word. I am.

But I give people the benefit of the doubt. Until you've lied to me and proven yourself like to be nefarious. To be a liar. To be a liar. I will believe what you say. I think that's like a good general rule of thumb. I think so too. It's hard like when it's applying it to people that I don't know.

Right, right. It's so important to remember. Like we actually don't know Rachel McAdams. But like I get a vibe. Even in this picture, she's so excited to be introducing Renee Rapp. That's not someone who's like bandwagoning on the Mean Girls fun. Agreed. And it's cute.

Like it's the Tina Fey of it all bringing, you know, SNL together. Renee Rapp was great. She brought out Megan Thee Stallion. It was generally good fun. I'm like I'm just a little angry at Renee Rapp for leaving that show. Like I know it's so dumb but like I'm angry. I know and I do think it's a mistake and will turn out to be a mistake but right now it's not looking that way. No of course not because she's on SNL and she's in like this big movie yada yada. But she left Sex Lives of College Girls to like focus on music and because she had a lot going on.

But like, I don't know, you don't just walk away. That show is huge. Like I think a lot of people don't realize it's good. And like it really shot her to mainstream success because she was like a Broadway queen who a lot of people knew, but not, you know, in a mainstream kind of way. And I just think the show will continue to be huge. And I think it was a mistake. Yeah, but we'll see because we didn't even get a mainstream kind of way. And I just think the show will continue to be huge. And I think it was a mistake.

Yeah, but we'll see, because we didn't even get a season without her yet. So these things have to play out. Yeah, that's true. And maybe I'm just saying that because I'm like angry because I loved her character. And I just love, like the show was perfect and I don't want it to change.

But as long as Kimberly Chalamet, oh no, what's her name? Kimber. Paulina. Her name is Kimberly on the show. Paulina Chalamet, oh no, what's her name? Kimber. Paulina. Her name is Kimberly on the show. Paulina Chalamet remains on the show, playing the role of Dana Holzberg. I think we're okay. I think so too.

And that feels good. Are you ready for our next story, the big drama from the weekend? You keep saying that about every show. No, I said first was like the big news, the shows. This was the drama. What was it? Kite Baby. Oh, I didn't know if you knew about that.

The name on everybody's lips is Kite Baby. The CEO is forced to post two groveling apologies after she fired an employee named Marissa Hughes who asked to work remotely while her adopted premature newborn was hospitalized. So this has been playing out on the internet. It's really gotten like reached a level. It exceeded the mama community.

Everyone's talking about it. And at first, or even like the TikTok community, like everyone is talking about this story. So there was an employee that works for Kite Baby. Kite Baby, if you don't know, is like one of the leading digital brands for kids. I literally, as I'm like reading this drama I'm unpackaging unboxing a kite baby order I just got what do you use from them um everything their

clothes are so soft so I love their pajamas I just got some like outfits that are onesies and pants for Charlie because so it's a clothing clothing company really soft and there's you said digital because they don't have stores they're online oh so you mean like e-commerce consumer yeah but they're like one of the newer baby brands that's like everybody like that are really getting really big um okay in a dtc dtc that's it that's what i just said direct to consumer but right but i just need to arrive there on my own you know what I mean I needed to find the word the word I was looking for so it's not not digital well you can shop online yeah anyways I had just placed a kite baby order before this drama it didn't come until after the drama and so yesterday I got home and I was opening everything while like reading these

headlines I'm like oops but it's it's too soft to return sorry no by the way whatever's going on online like you still gotta buy the best thing for your baby like sorry but i just want you i probably wouldn't have placed an order in this moment but while this was so you stand you stand with the employee of course of course this employee okay so give everyone top to bottom like what the the okay so the employee her name was marissa she had been fired after requesting to work from the neonatal intensive care unit at a texas hospital the nikku because she had adopted a baby who was born prematurely the baby was born at 24 weeks and was in the nikku like weighing one pound so of course girly couldn't go into work she asked to work remotely and instead she was fired the baby was born at 22 weeks I'm sorry I mean any

sort of company like not being remotely flexible with their parental leave when someone's baby is 22 weeks old in a NICU like that's when you go above and beyond for your employees the fact that it's a company for babies like it's so fucked up like those are the type and it's a successful one those are the types of companies that should be giving you like the crazy I forgot who I was just talking to about these like new age benefits where it's like it's maternity leave for life oh I was just talking to a girl who works at Amazon and I was like what is and she just had a baby I'm like what do you get three years off like that those are the types of companies that should do. And she was like, yes.

Those are the types of companies that should go above and beyond for parental leave. Because they can. Yeah. And like, Kite Baby is exactly like this new age. They know what it entails. And she wasn't even asking for her maternity leave. She was asking to work remotely. Right.

And also, she should get maternity leave. And I wonder what the maternity leave policy is for parents that adopt newborn babies because it's still you have a newborn at home what is maternity of course so she should it's the same she should have been given maternity leave not even I mean first of all her remote work request should have been granted at yeah I mean yeah but she also should have been given like time off at work maternity leave and they should have just been like. Of course. Been flexible in this situation.

And also this girl, like everything she's posting, she seems like the actual sweetest, nicest person on the planet. I mean, anyone. And she, by the way, she didn't like want this to like become national news. Yeah, no, but even she posted like she's not. They offered her her job back. She said, you know, it would be weird to accept. But like her whole statement was like i'm just

praying for everyone praying for the company praying that changes are enacted she's just praying she's praying and of course they started a gofundme for her i believe because obviously now she's you know a new mom without a job um with incredible medical expenses for her new baby right right um so like she'll be okay and i'm sure this is an opportunity for like a frida baby or you know some company to make make her the ceo or something dreamland baby give her a call yes somebody needs to give this girl a job yeah and and they will that starts in in six years yeah right right so um like i do think it'll work itself out but the story became even bigger because the CEO of Kite Baby when this story just like randomly people started like hearing about it

it was very organic very you know grassroots movement around this started to get like a lot of you know comments on their social media and so she released a an apology where she was like reading off of a script and that like doesn't bother me so much I think you know with a lot of people watching you want to be careful of course um so she had to then release another apology after that because people were so angry that she didn't seem genuine and I just think the whole story feels so backwards to so many people because it's literally a company for babies yeah it's just like weird yeah i mean the last kite baby order that i now that we're just slamming kite baby yeah go um i ordered kite baby stuff like maybe six months ago and it like never

shit like it was like two weeks and it hadn't shipped and they're like we're moving warehouses so i i was like can i just it was almost a month i was like can i cancel my order so i never even got it and then i decided to take a chance on them again this time because that's how good the stuff is i was like okay i'll wait whatever it is with your warehouse and this happens it's kind of like every time it feels like you are the catalyst for drama at kite baby you are the common denominator here they can't handle my orders they can't handle your they can't handle your kids no it's crazy. So this was a shock to everyone. I think that they'll be okay. Yeah, like, you know, this happens,

the life cycle of brands. I mean, people are shopping at Balenciaga again. So like, you know, this is. And I think things will hopefully be okay for Marissa, the employee. She has her GoFundMe and she has so much support and love and prayers and everyone's like, she's, you know, the name on everybody's lips and I hope that things

work out for her too but she obviously has a lot on her plate right now I don't think she cares about the the internet like she's in the NICU like there are more important things in the world than like what's going on in your Instagram right but. But it's just been a crazy saga. It has. And it's been crazy the amount of like reach the story has, how far it's gone. Yeah. Yeah. Surprising.

Considering Kite Baby isn't the biggest name in, it's not like Johnson and Johnson. Right. Pampers. But it's kind of like the Johnson and Johnson of the digital age. Of TTC Digital. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. For sure. Yeah.

Thank you. Are you ready for our next story? I am. Southern Charms Craig Conover and Austin Kroll are set to open a new bar concept in Charleston. Of course. Genius. The Southern Charm boys are bringing new business to town

in the form of a neighborhood tavern fit for friends, fans, and tourists. Later this year, there will be more to ba-ba-doo in Charleston, South Carolina. Babadu. Carolina. Babadu. Did you write that?

No, and I need to thank Entertainment Tonight Online for putting that in. That's funny. Because that was really good. Babadu. Babadu. Babadududu. Babadududu. It's easy.

It's good, isn't it? Like the birds and the bees and the one, two, threes. So anyways, Entertainment Tonight can exclusively announce that Southern Charm stars Craig and Austin are bringing a new business to their adopted hometown, partnering with Uptown Hospitality Group on a fresh concept called By the Way. Wait, is Uptown Hospitality Group leva? No, hers is like Republic.

Yeah, I don't think she's Uptown because she's not named in this article. The neighborhood tavern is set to open midsummer just around the corner from the company's flagship location uptown social on the city's famous king street this move furthers craig and austin's business relationship the two are already partners in a podcast called pillows and beer and investors in new york city eatery called carriage house craig said charleston has grown so much in the last few years and brought in a lot of travelers, so we wanted to create a space where locals and travelers could hang out together and enjoy the neighborhood. Travelers is an

interesting word. Yes, I completely agree. I believe the word Craig was looking for was tourist. But I think it was a choice not to use it, because I feel like tourist is a little offensive. It's derogatory. Right? Why? Because, like, nobody wants to go to a place where the tourists are it's true like you avoid where the travelers go right i have to say this is like pretty brilliant on behalf of

craig and austin the show is so big it's so popular i do feel like it's done a lot for charleston and when you think about like how the restaurants in west hollywood for vanderpump rules and real housewives of beverly hills what that did for like the lives of the reality stars and their businesses. This is that. I think I'm like a smaller scale, but I think it's really smart. I do wonder like what Shep makes of like all of like the dynamics within the friendships of the men like changing so much. And now Austin and Craig for like the last couple of years, their podcast is really successful.

They went on tour. Like what he makes of that. Well, there's a few things. One, I think at one point Shep is part owner in a bar or he has his own bar in Charleston. He doesn't like talk about it that much on the show, but he does something like this. I don't know what's going on with the bar,

but I also think it's interesting that this bar isn't branded as like a Southern charm thing. It could have been called Pillows and Beer and it's not. I was thinking that. What's it called? By the way, BTW. So it has nothing to do with the show. It could have been called Bapadoo.

Right, I guess Tom Tom has to do with the show. Pump has to do with the show. They all do, typically. So it's not, but I think it's also smart. That way, if Southern Charm goes away, it doesn't make the bar irrelevant. They can use Southern Charm to prop up the bar, but it's not like just a bar for bravo fans and people might not walk down the street they might not want to go in there like oh i don't watch that show that's

the bar from the show but it really can be more inclusive and it's just an inch i'm sure they sat on it for a long time and thought about it and came to this decision as the best decision so i i do think it's interesting but yeah austin and craig it's also funny because on the show sometimes they fight like they don't like each other like brothers no but like they'll go through spells where it feels like they're not talking but they are business partners and I feel like they prioritize their business relationship like no matter what happens in the personal like we will be business partners and I feel like at this point in their lives they're more business partners than they are of friends at certain points yes but they're also like professional reality stars and maybe they're able to like really compartmentalize like what happens on the show is like that's that's work you know and not being

like actual personal drama i feel like it's kind of the opposite where when they're not filming they like not that they're not friends but like they're not each other's maybe best friends in this world that's good and then when they're filming like they just get picked right back up when they do their podcasts they're touring like they're really it feels like very good business partners and then maybe not all the time like bffl bff living together i do like i think one of my favorite sort of storybook ending character arc you know journeys through all reality tv is like how Craig Conover really like ended up on top yeah with you know Paige in his relationship professionally he did become a lawyer sewing down south is huge no the the tone

of the show has changed now that Craig isn't the punching bag. And the last season, so last season and this season, it's like everybody is like struggling with how to treat him. And they like to be like, you've changed since your success. It's like, oh, shut up. So jealous. You just have to have respect now. You can't get away with like. You have to have to take him seriously.

Yeah, it's funny watching everyone try and like have to like struggle with like Craig isn't the butt of the joke anymore. Like jokes on them. I love it. No, I love it. As someone who has always loved Craig and like thought that he's been right and mistreated. It's so vindicating. I imagine how Craig feels.

No, totally. Yeah. No, but in like his relationship, he's winning. Everyone else is like a mess. Austin's a mess. Yep. Shep is a mess. Whitney.

Yeah, no. And you just love to see it. Like it's my favorite thing. And this is just like one step further of like them becoming really businessmen of Charleston. I'm sure Shep will find a way to knock it. But it's impressive. I agree. And no one's done it on this particular show yet.

Like you said, he has a bar. But except for Leva. But it's impressive. I agree. And no one's done it on this particular show yet. Like you said, he has a bar. But except for Leva. But Leva's kind of like the Lisa Vanderpump. She already had it before. But now her bar has a show. Yes. What's it called again?

I don't. Southern Hospitality. I've not seen it, but it looks good. And it looks like a no-brainer. And I've heard it. It was good. It was good. Yeah.

Total sense. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. So so brainer. And I heard it. It was good. It was good. Yeah. Total sense. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, so does this. And I hope it does well. Me too. And like, maybe they'll get a show next, you know?

Like, yeah, it's giving Tom Tom. Yeah. Until it isn't. Hopefully it's well run. Yeah. Tom Tom's well run. Also, it's smart that they're working with a hospitality group. They can lend their faces and stuff, but like maybe not have all of the pressure.

Not be like Tom and put all their money into it and like refinance their houses. Yep. So it looks like they're making shrewd business moves and you love to see it. You do. What is surprising that I was thinking about is the fact that Austin launched Trop Pop. Yeah. I think it's still around but the fact that he found no way to use momentum

from the show in order to like prop the business. It remains like a local IPA only available in Charleston. Yeah. Yeah at like two bars. Yeah they could have named the bar Trap Hop. Which is honestly I think Trap Hop is such a good name. Like that's what they could have named if they wanted

it to be like the Southern Charm Bar which they don't. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Which I think Trap Hop's such a good name like that's what they could have named if they wanted it to be like the southern charm bar which they don't yes yes yes yes yes which I think is um good positioning I hope I hope they have success our fifth and final story is that Kim Kardashian attended a bat mitzvah this weekend I'm obsessed I saw so Kim attended the bat mitzvah of her life her friend's daughter and she was posting from the bat mitzvah of her lifer friend's daughter. And she was posting from the bat mitzvah, which looked. Do we know which lifer friend it was? I couldn't figure it out, but I'm sure others could. Me neither.

So Kim has this group of friends. They call themselves the lifers. They're like OG friends from middle school. Obviously, everybody knows Allison, the blonde girl who's like always around. She's a lifer. Zoe Winkler, Henry Winkler. Winkler's daughter. Henry Winkler's daughter is a lifer.

It's like this group of like seven or eight girls. And one of their daughters had a bat mitzvah. And like, I'm obsessed. Yeah, Kim was posting some of the activations. What was the girl's name? Violet, I think. She had like a little Starbucks, Violet's Starbies. Then she had a little starbucks violet starbies then she had a little violet skin it was like a little mall pop up it was really cute she also posted a video violet

doing the hora kim said i love the hora hashtag i love the hashtag um mother of the bat mitzvah yep also i love the hora no the hora is such a good like it's such a good energy like vibe cultivator it makes me sad that people have like weddings that don't have horas because to me the horror is my favorite part and it's so rooted in tradition you know like yeah we've been they've been horary thousands of years in the land of israel where the jews are the indigenous people agreed so i'm glad that kim got to experience a good horror also this bat mitzvah girl was like so elegant beautiful beautiful not awkward bat mitzvah energy well she's from hidden hills and kim kardashian's at her bat mitzvah so like she wasn't going to be

brace face like it wasn't about the way she carried herself this basmishfa okay but also it's worth noting that like basmishfa aged girlies today are not what they were in the days of yore 30 13 is 13 no no it's not you know this 13 is not 13 differently but biologically it's evolution no it's evolution it's not it's it's uh social change it's not biological change mentally on the outside they might look different but on the inside they're the same i don't agree 13 is 13 awkward teens are awkward teens i know they look different but on the inside they're going through all the same feelings that you were la they're not what are they feeling well today they're feeling depressed and suicidal they really are like they're built different they're like experiencing such different childhoods than

we were they're all depressed it's so negative oh i thought you were saying 13 year olds like look like you know 18 year old instagram super well that too well they do also look different because they have access to more information and more like makeup tutorials hair care like they know what they're doing maybe invisalign invis too. Yes. But this is a huge conversation happening on TikTok right now. It's like all about the 10 year old to go to Sephora. And like a lot of these Sephora employees are speaking out because they're, the kids are so fucking rude and like disgusting. They like play with the displays and like make it dirty. And they really all go over to the drunk elephant section. The kids today are obsessed with drunk elephant moisturizer,

bronzing drops, et cetera. And then people started to realize if you look at the ingredients in Drunk Elephant, Drunk Elephant is not made for kids. It's just a brand that's weirdly like kids have become obsessed with. And it's kind of like a Livestrong bracelet. Like if you don't have it, you're not cool. So these kids like force their parents to take them to Sephora and force them to go get Drunk Elephant. But if you look at the ingredients, it has like retin-A in it. It's really for mature skin. It's not for kids. And this conversation of like does you know drunk elephant is there a responsibility on the brand because if you look at it it really kind of looks like a brand for kids it's like bright colors it's like looks like a toy almost it's like pump screw like it's also called drunk

that's not for kids so then the other side of the conversation is like well one it's called drunk this is obviously not a brand that's ever marketed towards kids. Two, like the child, the kids industry like doesn't have a monopoly on bright colors. Like just because something's colorful doesn't make it for kids. So there is this big conversation about like, is Drunk Elephant guilty? But you're right. Like Drunk being in the name, like it's obviously not for kids. You know what that reminds me of?

Juul. Like the kids industry doesn't have a monopoly on fruit. Woo. So true. obviously not you know what that reminds me of jewel like the kids industry doesn't have a monopoly on fruit whoo so true jewel literally gone but not forgotten but the thing is there was there was evidence marketing marketing towards teens i don't think there really is evidence of drunk elephant no no i'm sure they're like how did we end up in this situation like we're just a makeup where it's like every 13 year old yeah but a lot of the jewel i'm sure they're like, how did we end up in this situation? Like we're just a makeup company. It's like every 13 year old. Yeah. But a lot of the jewel, I'm sure like there might be evidence of like jewel marketing campaign, like targeting kids.

But like a lot of the citations were like, it's fruity. Yes. Right. Which really isn't an argument. Fruit isn't inherently childish. Everybody wants a fruity pebble. Something. Right. No,uity pebble. Something. Right.

No, it's true. But that's what people are talking about on TikTok. That and kite baby. Okay. So now you're in the know. And I just loved this episode. And I want to end it so we can get it out. Because people deserve to hear this.

And it's been a long one, right? Yeah, we're at like an hour and 20. Okay, let them go. So thank you guys so much for listening to the Chosen Millennium Morning Show where we deliver the Fast Five Stories
