Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast. Happy Hump Day! It is a wet-nest day. I hope everyone is getting down, getting dirty, humping someone they love. Speaking of people I love, hey Jax, good morning! Good morning, McClardia. Happy Hump Day to you and yours. I hope that you're celebrating safely. I am. I'm celebrating Hump Day by recruiting with McClard celebrating hump day by recruiting with McClardia. You're recruiting with McClardia?

Yeah. I thought I'm recruiting with McClardia. I think we're all recruiting with McClardia because I'm not McClardia. Like McClardia is like a separate being, you know? Yeah. You told me the funnest fact the other day. Yes. That when you did your show in Nashville and everybody came to

the meet and greet every person walked up to you and called you mcclardia Jackie uh like first of all I've never seen something that we do catch on so quickly yeah especially because it's not been really rolled out in any sort of major way make it like a big deal or anything you've just been calling me mcclardia yeah and i kind of like admitted a few months ago that that's what like i've been whenever i think of emily radikowski's ex-husband like i always think to myself like sebastian mcclernand don't ask me why and i admitted that on breaking bread where secrets went to be shared secrets revealed it really resonated with people because now that's your name jaggy they walked into the meet and greet. They were like, McClernia. I was like, what? That is so funny. And I'm so overjoyed to hear this.

So am I. I'm also overjoyed because today, finally, a secret project in the making for nine months has finally been shared with the world. Jackie and I have known for a long time and for some of us me it's been extremely difficult to keep this secret to myself but I did if you follow our sister Olivia on Instagram you know that she gave birth to her second bebe a bebe boy we that's why I'm coming um down this week I kept talking about my trip and I was like I wonder if people are going to be like questioning my trip you know but I think nobody will ever question when you're coming to see your best now they will and to podcast in front of the flamingos like you're doing it for the flamingos but I'm also doing it for my new nephew our new nephew our I'm an auntie once again I'm back on the auntie train uh you're an auntie once over Once over. Choo-choo. Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-choo-choo.

Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-choo-choo. The Antiexpress is on its way to Florida tomorrow. Don't count out yet, Antie. That's the thing. I feel like people are constantly counting out that Anties, and they shouldn't be. Yeah, I feel like for you, your Antie-isms have been record high. You know, was born this year you became an auntie again but like I haven't been an auntie since Kaylor was born you know and like then before that it was Bruno joined the family so like I really haven't had like fresh auntie who's older

Kaylor or Magnolia their birthdays are one day apart. I have literally no idea. And one thing about me, I feel like this is a good time to share since you brought it up. One thing about me is like, I literally do not know my nieces and nephews birthdays. Like I know the month and like the general, but like, let me think. Michaela's birthday is in May. And I want to say it's the 21st no I think that's not only his birthday Michaela's the 22nd okay and Roldini's birthday I know is in February and I'm gonna go with the 12th 13th you're just every time you have your guests just add one okay I like was thinking that this morning or yesterday because someone was like how old is Michaela? I was like telling a friend of mine that Olivia had given birth and I'm like

that's an amazing question. Let's do the math and I could not remember her birthday. That's so funny. Do you know Bruno's birthday perchance? You don't even know Bruno's birthday. Of course I know my boy. My firstborn. Well then you let the day go by without acknowledging it because the most recent of Bruno's birthdays I was at your house. And you come into my room at midnight. And you were like, by the way, it was Bruno's birthday today. Yeah, we were going through a lot of change here. Bruno understood.

Bruno did understand. And so when were you at my house? August? Yeah. 17th. 15th. Pretty good. That was like a total blind guess in the dark, honestly.

Gorgeous. So much simcha and mael here in our family. Thank you, everyone who's reached out with the kind words, not to make everything about us. But Olivia, like, it's kind of like giving Kylie energy. Like it's giving Khloe, you know? It is. It's been so, it's been so like on the DL, obviously,

but she's just been like living her life and just hadn't said anything publicly I actually was with her yesterday and she did say like she is so willing and excited to share her story on the Patreon like to talk about one her birth story and two like why she never shared it publicly that she was pregnant all this time. So that will be upcoming whenever she is ready for it. But like, she's like ready to go. She's ready to chat. Speaking of Patreon, the fact that we're going to be together starting tomorrow

means the Patreon is going to be absolutely lit. Florida vlogs, Florida pods, Florida tings. Florida chili. Florida chili. Maybe we'll do another great chili cook-off. When Ben's here. Right, Ben gets there like a few days after me I think I could handily defeat him I don't think so handling I don't think you could ask the Shapiros they were chowing down on my chili no I'm sure why I've been cooking so

much is because like Olivia is always the one cooking but you know in these last few weeks like I thought I would you you know, help out, help out. Yeah. Um, I think that you could, I think that now if you watch the great chili cook-off, you do know that Jackie,

like very bizarrely made a vegetarian chili. I wasn't comfortable cooking with meat just yet. Meat is so fucking scary. Oh my God. You didn't even stand a chance. Someone tagged me in the funniest meme today. Like I, I saw it as I was waking up, so it didn't register,

but it's just coming back to me. And I remember it now. It's like, she's a 10, but she overcooks her chicken because she's scared it's going to be raw. No, totally. And the caption was like, it might be dry, but at least it's safe. So true. That's literally me.

But with the OG chili cook-off, like you truly didn't even stand a chance because like you're vegetarian. So I don't know if you could beat Ben, but you can compete. Like you now definitely like are going to give him a run for his money, but he makes chili so frequently

and he's been doing it for so long. And like, I don't know, it's going to be really tough to beat him. I don't know. I just feel like I have this passion for chili as seen in my mentions because I only get tagged in chilies now. I know.

Chili content. Everyone makes a chili, they tag me. Like, if I just want to go on Chili Inspo, just look through my mentions. And I just feel like that comes through when I'm cooking, whereas for Ben, as stated, it's like day rigor, another day, another chili. What are we making today? The passion is there. And I just feel like you can taste the heart and soul in mine

because I put my foot in it. I put my foot in it. So make sure you're headed over to patreon.com slash a toast to not miss out on all the family fun happening this month. Yeah, there's going to be a lot. And we are doing two Q&As before all of that starts. We always do a few general Q&As every few months to like catch up with your girlies and we always answer them together. But we have a little bit of a different idea because I feel like these days, the questions for you and I are different. We're different girls.

Just a little. So we're going to do like Claudia interviewing me with your guys' questions and me interviewing Claudia with your guys' questions. So it's more tailored. It's very Diane Sawyer. Very. And speaking of Diane Sawyer,

we've got a fab episode today it's Wednesday which means we have dear toasters and we've got three girlies who have found themselves in unique situations. Oh really? So I'm looking forward to being able to change lives at the end of today's episode and I hope you'll join us. I do hope you will. There's also no TV recap because there was nothing on TV last night. I've been watching The Empress, another two episodes. Just so delectable. I finished that book you recommended. Okay, you can bash me in a second.

Let me just talk about it. I'm not going to bash. You can share your thoughts in a second. Let me just talk about The Empress because it's really like renewed my interest in European royalty. I feel like it was laying dormant for a while but now I've been like reactivated and I'm just like in my sleep you know when you watch something you read something like you sleep and dream about it as you toss and turn you're just like of course in the Austrian empire a hundred percent and that's where I am right now and I just love it so like I love it so much and

even when I was like in my thoughts in my dreams and like being like confused it was a good place to be so I feel like I'm gonna go back down the rabbit hole once I finish this show and I would recommend it to anyone who has a any inkling for his star for the history um I did finally finish the redheads book of the month that you and Margo thought I would like. I gave it three stars. It was far too long and truly, truly pointless. Like, what was the point? What was the plot? Like, I wasn't sure. Like, if someone were to be like, what's this book about?

I would be like, I'm not entirely sure. I think it's about a strong female protagonist making her way through a man's world unfriendly time for women okay just for me that's not like a strong enough plot um the book was fine and so based on the plot that's why I wouldn't have recommended it to you but I was okay with you reading it because I thought one the writing is really strong like it's well written yeah two for me like mad and 630 are everything like not mad she was just like a little version of her mom and they were like a little annoying I always love a precocious camper um I just thought it

was fine like I'm surprised that you guys all loved it so much like it was fine I I thought it was really really good but I understand I don't know that I would have vehemently recommended that you read it, but I'm glad that you did. Isn't it fun to just like branch out a little bit and then it reminds you why you love the things that you love? That's for sure. Also, my next book I'm going to start today, which came out yesterday, is the It Ends With Us second book. It's called It Starts With Us. Colleen Hoover released it yesterday. Did you see that profile on Colleen Hoover in the New York Times?

No. It was insane. It was filled with such juicy information about like how many books she sells. You know, book numbers are totally private. Like, you know, like the Bible sells a lot. But if like your favorite influencer writes a book, like you don't know how many copies they actually sell.

So they had like full-blown figures. It was so interesting. You know, in the last year, she sold 20 million books. That's more than like the top three books that sell every year is like the Bible, like John Grisham or something like the top three books. She has sold more than all of them combined. She had like the preorder for it ends with us. Like the first printing is two and a half million copies it's just crazy and like how she's really like not only changing the publishing industry but changing how people think about like romance writers because like I think for a long time romance writers were considered like you know like Danielle Steele like not serious authors yeah and she's really changing that narrative it was an incredible I mean obviously I didn't read

it I saw like TikTok summing it up, but it was an incredible profile. And I'm so happy for her. Like, yes, Colleen. Yes, Colleen. I haven't even heard about it, but I will definitely check it out. I love some facts and figures, but it's not surprising at all.

Like when you look at the New York Times bestseller list, and sometimes I look just to see like what's trending, if there are any books that look good that I haven't heard of. She is all over it. And I also feel like. Because the list is editorialized. And they pick and choose.

I feel like they're also cut. Like making it. They're not giving her any higher accolades. Than she has. If anything. I feel like they might be taking some of her books off. Because the whole list would be coho. Would be her.

And that's like not what the list is about. So how people discover books and new authors and everything and I actually feel like they're probably editorializing it like not in her favor yet I completely agree the way that the New York Times bestsellers list like really has nothing to do with how many books you sold is something I only recently learned as an author and I'm like this is fucking bullshit and like you see books that have been on there for two like Obama's book is still on there like I have have a hard time believing. I think when it, when it was released, like millions and millions of copies were sold, but like years later,

every week still selling 10,000 copies. Like that's the kind of like the minimum amount you need to get on the list. Like, I don't believe that. I don't believe that about green lights either by Matthew McConaughey. Like, I don't think people are still in droves, 10,000 books a week. So the fact that the New York Times bestsellers list isn't based on numbers and is solely based, it's based on numbers, but also like their opinion. I don't really think that's fair. And that's why like they don't get as much credence. But if you make the USA Today bestsellers list, like that's a huge accomplishment as well because those numbers, those charts are based on actual sales exclusively, nothing else. Yeah, like I think there's a number of books that you can sell that like even if you're, you know, an unsavory person,

New York Times has to add you to the list. And then I think there are also authors who undersell, but they are darlings and, you know, everyone's, there's a lot of like industry hype for their book, even though like no one wanted to really buy it. And those people will make the list. And so there's a lot of like industry hype for their book, even though like no one wanted to really buy it. And those people will make the list. And so there's a lot of that. But then also they're so fucking shady with their daggers.

This is a deeply personal conversation. Because they say like if your book has a dagger next to it, then you click the dagger and like at the bottom it says like they notice a trend of like bulk buying and that like kind of it's like shady to be like oh they bought their way into being on the list it's basically saying you bought your your own books but I just like find it really coincidental all the people who have daggers you know okay so let me say I only found out what the dagger was I think like most normal human beings from younger um that girl Quinn and like had a dagger so I was like oh my god dagger and

then when I used to like follow like celebrities and influencers books, I would be so interested to see like who got a dagger. And I was like, I would be like, oh my God, they have a dagger shady. They bought their own book. And then my ass gets a dagger. I literally have the phone call recorded with my publisher where she was like, you made the New York times. I was like, yes, yes. She's like number 12. I'm like, yes, yes. She's like, they did put a dagger though. I'm like, what? It like undermined the entire accomplishment. And when I say I swear on my fucking life,

I didn't buy my own book. Like, I don't have to. I have proof from Amazon. I, in my presale and my first week, like, let's say it. Like I sold almost 30,000 books. Like that, to make the list, you need to sell around like eight. To be safe, 10.

Your ass, my ass sold 30 between audio, video, not video, audio, e-book, and hard copy. So I have nothing to be ashamed of. I sold my own motherfucking books, bitch. And I said to my publisher, I'm like, first of all, can we reach out to the New York Times and ask for clarification? Like, where are these bulk sales coming from? And of course, they never responded. And my publisher was like, well, it might have something to do with this meet and greet that you did with the strand so let me tell

you I did a meet and greet with the strand where you bought a book you got it signed and you did like a virtual because it was COVID we sold 200 books okay so 200 and I was doing it to support the strand remember that whole campaign support the strand they were almost going out of business during COVID so I'm over here helping local indie bookshops and the New York Times is punishing me. I don't think that's why you have the dagger. That was truly the only reasonable explanation that my publisher could come up with.

Look at everyone else who has a dagger. Like it's just people- It's because I'm like a controversial queen. It's people who they begrudgingly have to put on the list. They could not deny the sales numbers. And if you look at the New York Times list versus Amazon and something's number one on Amazon it's not on the New York Times list it's like who lied who lied I that was like really upsetting especially because then everyone's like shame on her um back like family money like bitch shut the fuck up like first of all I'm literally

like a financially independent queen since I've been 18 so eat my fucking ass with a big dirty fork you slut and like I didn't like can I just have one accomplishment that's mine like I actually did it I sold tons of books like because it was really good I worked really hard on it like please fuck off yeah and like it's it has occurred to me just like it's a big dirty fork with because you're a big dirty slut like it has occurred to me because like every week i would get from like the six months that we started selling three months in advance that we started selling the book i would get like a sales report every week like i have the proof like i didn't buy my own fucking book bitch yeah she has a storage unit full of books right no oh and then like i like every author i got a box of my own books like a couple of weeks

before the book came out. It was the first time I'd ever seen it. I probably had a total of 25 books. She's not even ashamed. She's posting that she bought her own book. First of all, it's my book, bitch. I didn't have to pay for it. And two, it came straight from the warehouse, not from like an Amazon, not from a retailer.

I get copies of my own book like I need them right and you need to give them to the red heads so we can prepare for your episode I need to do red heads I need to do influencer gifting like and I just like in my house I have like a shelf of like 10 or 15 copies of my own book because I think that's where the dagger came from a hundred percent the dagger conversation it's actually really crazy how I used to really, truly judge other people who had them. And now I'm questioning every dagger. No, when you see a dagger, you question the New York Times. Yeah, don't question the author.

And I'm sure that there are people like, I feel like it happened. Yeah, like Quinn. I feel like it happens in like, you know, entrepreneur, like crypto people. I feel like they do it. I don't know why. They're just like hustle culture, like rise, grind. And they buy their own books like give them out in the street like I feel like they're definitely people who do it I'm swear on my fucking life that I literally it was not me like I did not do that yeah no we know and if I did I like wouldn't be bringing it up like we

would like skirt around the conversation where dagger wouldn't have come out of my mouth literally but like I truly have nothing to hide except for my chin and my moles but besides that well I need to read that coho piece yes oh sorry that's what we were talking about it was really interesting speaking of books redheads merch is dropping tomorrow I'm wearing another sickening sweatshirt from the collection the collection has been posted at the redheads instagram you can see all the sweatshirt from the collection.

First story, Olivia Wilde shares her special salad dressing recipe in response to her former nanny's allegations. Olivia Wilde is sharing the recipe for a special salad dressing, which turns out to be taken from a classic novel about divorce. So we spoke yesterday about all these allegations

the nanny made about Olivia and Jason's marriage, including one where she made a salad for Harry, went to bring it to him, and Jason laid under her car. So Olivia posted a screenshot of the book that it's from, which is Heartburn by... Nora Ephron. Nora Ephron. Okay, yeah, yeah. That's what I thought. And it has the ingredients for how to make this salad dressing.

Mix two tablespoons grape pepin, mustard with two tablespoons good red wine vinegar. Then whisk consistently with a fork. Slowly add six tablespoons of olive oil until the vinaigrette is thick and creamy. This makes a very strong vinaigrette that's perfect for salad greens

like arugula and watercress and endive I I like that she's like playing into this drama um and like kind of like lightening the situation a little bit but I believe it was she who said you know the internet is sufficiently nourished I don't need to be feeding it and it looks like you're doing just that she gave it a salad and metaphorically gave the internet a salad what is it what was it that she said I feel like the internet is sufficiently nourished I don't need to keep feeding it something not to contribute yeah yeah well she is contributing she is contributing but honestly in a pretty great way I don't know like whoever approved this PR if it was all her like that's that's how you address

like something and make light of it and we all can move on it's like when Lea Michele finally started like addressing the fact that she can't read yeah it took her a little too long it did it did and I mean on the one hand like uh like the claims that the nanny made I feel like they were the Jason and Olivia had said like, they're scurrilous and untrue and this and that. And then on the other hand, like here's the salad that got Jason to lay under the car. Right.

So there was a salad. So what else is true? It's a salad. Did you see Lea Michele got bangs? I didn't. I thought she looked great. She did look really great, but she always looks great.

She does, but it's very, you know, life imitating art. It's giving Rachel Berry. Yeah, but her makeup was snatched. She could have had a pixie cut, honestly. She's really becoming the darling of the New York City

theater scene. She's out every night performing at different events, galas, charity events, TV shows, and it must be nice, you know? Yeah, are you jealous? No, no, no. People who need people are the luckiest people in the world. They keep having her perform that song, like on TV,

on the Today Show she did at this charity event. And I wonder why. I wonder why too. Well, I think she's getting in all her press before that documentary comes out. A hundred percent. I also think they probably don't want to spoil Don't Rain on My Parade and, like, give it away for free. Also, maybe there's something about Don't Rain on My Parade

that doesn't maybe translate on TV. Or it's too involved. Like, you need more. Maybe this is just an easier song to run onto the day show and sing. Right. But I also do think it's like giving the cow away for free. The milk. To do Don't Rain on My Parade.

Right. Because that's really what people go to see. I don't know. But it's already out there. Her Glee version. It's actually incredibly different. In what ways? In the arrangement.

But also just in the vibe. You know what I mean? She's not like sauntering down the aisle, saving the Glee Club once again. No, she's like this, like in the moment, she's decided to give up on her career and go find her man, which was a huge mistake. And she's like so excited and she's throwing her life away. And it's like, in Glee, she's like being a star. But in this, she's just being fanny, you know?

You know what it's giving? Hmm. The girl who didn't go to Paris yeah because she stayed with Jason Lawler no she's literally like going back to Mr. Arnstein even though he's like a gambler and a crook also that was a cultural shift when Elsie didn't go to Paris you You know, we had this conversation yesterday on The Toast, if you missed it, about like moments in pop culture and just general moments in media that we look back on and realize they truly shaped us as people. And we asked people on Instagram to share what moments they experienced that had that same effect. We got over 3,000 comments, and I'm just curious like where all these commenters have been the past couple of weeks,

but okay. And these are the moments that people really identified with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey getting a divorce I was a little young the Brad Angelina Jen saga yeah this is a good one the bad romance music video that is a good one the way we were all doing those dance oh yeah and Lady Gaga like when she was popping off like like, she was shifting the culture. Yeah. Oh, Ashley Simpson lip syncing on SNL. Yes. That was crazy.

Oh, I didn't watch The Bachelor back then, but I imagine if you did, Jason breaking up with Melissa on live TV for Molly was, like, huge. I remember that, but I hadn't watched their season, but I just remember. And I just remember thinking, like, there's no way that this isn't staged like that he would actually still together humiliate one girl and that the other girl would like be so down for him even though she was but now I don't think it was staged no a lot of people said that Jamie Lynn Spears getting pregnant and the ending of Zoey 101 I was gonna say that yesterday that did come to mind I totally agree yeah I thought that was a really good one this is

a good one too when Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank house and said that she'd have been a believer honestly that really was he's not wrong no honestly he's not wrong like that's the whole point like she should have had this pure life and she was hiding from Nazis in the floor um oh and then most people did say Britney's head shaving umbrella breakdown Of course Though at the time I didn't understand what that was about

Because I was five This was a good one too When pumpkins spit on New York In Flavor of Love It forever changed me Honestly same Yep And then somebody else

When Lauren didn't go to Paris Oh someone said that? Good. Yes. The comments on there were like really taking me back like down memory lane. Someone had said when Nick Jonas announced he had diabetes. Diabetes. I think for a lot of Nick Jonas fans, like that was a heart-wrenching moment.

I do feel like when they announced that, like they didn't really specify that it was like not the type of diabetes you die from, but like the one that you live with yeah that makes your life really hard um so a lot of people thought he was gonna die oh i don't remember thinking that i feel like they specified the stage i don't remember or maybe just like the young kids the young girlies weren't listening oh they heard those diabetes yes then they turned it off. Yeah. Wailing. Anyways, that was a fun trip down memory lane. It was. Thank you all for sharing.

And I think yesterday I spoiled the OC for two people, but I'm sorry. I know. Well, that was another conversation I wanted to have. I feel like we've spoken about this a lot, but like, you know, I was thinking recently about starting Gilmore Girls. And I feel like if somebody said, you know, Rory dies, she doesn't. But like, let's say, like like I can't be mad at them I'm literally 20 years late you can't be mad like when does the spoiler alert statue of limitations expire I say five years so do I so like people being like not me literally on season one of the oc while listening to the toast like yeah marissa dies hallelujah and they play a beautiful song hallelujah i thought they played um

emojin heap what you say yeah yeah i think when he walks away it's that but then it's hallelujah for something else and then there's that other song that they play do you know what i'm talking about there's so many songs there's so many songs that i associate with it was like very music oriented oh this one like a champagne supernova in the sky yes there's so many songs obviously california um and you know what else was a cultural shift for me do you remember that show cheyenne yeah i'm hanging on today literally that show was so good it was nothing's gonna stop me anyway i'm holding on i'm strong so good everyone should do the hanging on challenge i'm hanging on today but nothing's gonna stop this is like when gen z and millennial collide gen z is vomiting vomiting i feel like vomiting that's my favorite line for my that was a cultural reset for us for no one but

us from heartbreakers when the old man realizes he's being conned and he's like i feel like vomiting it's the and he's like in his underwear too it's the best line he dies right spoiler alert 50 year old movie the man dies um but also that's just another thing i think it like really varies from family to family like what quotes from movies stick with you like hey look at me yeah hey which is the most she's getting to my clams casino. Both are like the two most obscure lines from shallow. How that like no one would recall. This is the most obscure line that we're obsessed with in our family from Borat.

I'll do it. I don't give a fuck. I'll do it. Yeah. No, it's like literally like from Borat. Everyone's like, Oh,

it's very nice. Like us. No, we're quoting that. Like one college kid who was in the RV. He was like, I'll do it. I don't give a fuck i'll do it it's so random oh wow and you know what was the ultimate cultural reset like you know back in the day they had the industrial revolution they did We had sleepover the movie. That actually was like a shift in the planet.

Like it was so big. So big. And so important. When you zoom out and like through the lens of the Big Bang Theory. You could still see the movie sleepover. 100%. You see the speaker guy asking yancey if she prefers celery over brownies and you see steve being like julie julie quirky you can see it all i think she

was in our grade school bus oh my god damn always comes back to sleepover that is the true takeaway from today's episode because we intentionally bring it back right like yeah okay ready for our next story matthew perry is on the cover of people opening up about his opioid overuse and this weeks he secretly spent in a coma so friend star matthew perry has given his first tell-all interview in which he details how his drug and alcohol addictions secretly nearly cost him his life. The star 53 revealed he was given just a 2% chance of survival after an opioid addiction caused his colon to burst when he was age 49, leaving him in a coma for two weeks and spending months in a hospital, a fact which his legions of fans were unaware of. a fact which his legions of fans were unaware of.

After suffering from a gastrointestinal perforation, Matthew said he had to use a colostomy bag for nine months, has now had 14 surgeries on his stomach in total, and been to rehab 15 times in a bid to get clean. The now sober actor detailed his decades-long battle to rid himself of the disease of addiction. When he was first admitted to the hospital, he said, the doctors told my family that I had a 2% chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all of the breathing for your heart and lungs. And that's called a Hail Mary.

No one survives that. He said, I wanted to share when I was safe from going into the dark side of everything again. By the way, Matthew Perry should really write a book. One, because he had like this insane fame and this insane shit going on at the exact same time. Like if you watch, I feel like I've said this before. This is turning into like one of my dentist stories. Like the final episode of season five of Friends takes place on the same like fictional day as season one of episode six. It's like the same like fictional day as season one of episode six it's like the same night um and Matthew Perry in like the three months that they have off has like gained and lost 40 pounds and you can see how like his addiction is taking such a toll on his body because like

Chandler when he proposes to Monica they go out to celebrate he proposes at the season finale and then the first episode the next season they go out to celebrate that night two different people yeah and it's like only a few months he said at one point during his friend's career he admits he was taking 55 Vicodin a day and was down to 128 pounds but yet he didn't know how to stop oh my god he said the friend's castmates were understanding and they were patient as he got older and struggled with his disease. Yeah, I would really love a book for Matthew Perry. I feel like it would be really good. Yeah.

Have any of the Friends cast members written books? I don't think like memoirs, no. Yeah. I mean, it was a fascinating time in pop culture history. Would you say it was a cultural reset? Not for me because Friends premiered in like what, 1998? And I was four years old. Like I only came to Friends when I was in college.

Yeah. I do think for everyone who watched it live, it was. And you know who watched it live? Me. What? Yeah, we used to watch it. Friday nights on the WB. What are you talking about? Like me and Liz.

No, we didn't. Yeah, we did. You were probably there, but like you weren't, you weren't like we did oh you were probably there but like you weren't knowing you weren't like handling the remote or anything like irrelevant yeah irrelevant wait you watched friends i think so because i remember no the wb i have memories it wasn't on wb it was on nbc really yeah well we were watching the wb maybe they played reruns on the wb i think we only had one channel and it was the WB. No, we didn't only have one channel. We were only like allowed to watch one channel.

No, we didn't even need another channel. Like we were happy with the WB. It's funny how we like when we first started watching, well, obviously we watched like kids programs like Barney and stuff. But then like when we were like 10, we watched WB. And then when we were like 14, 15, we watched Disney Channel. Like. You're right. it should be the opposite like age backwards yeah and then after disney went to like cw maybe it was because the w where was the degrassi years i would say degrassi years were like right before disney channel because like right when hannah montana came on like you couldn't catch us watching anything else no we were so so loyal but we also would watch the oc during that time. Yeah we were busy kids.

Yeah we were busy. We loved television. We did like we watch a lot of TV and I think that's why we do what we do for a living because like we had TVs in our bedrooms growing up and like nobody else did. But I feel like I had a TV in my room but I never watched that TV like I only recall as a kid watching with you guys. No but like when you were in high school you had a TV in your room yeah in high school but I think a lot of people in high school have

I don't think so TVs in their room but like no when I was like a kid kid I had a TV in my room and I never turned it on now kids have like a laptop so they don't really or like an iPad they don't need a television yeah no but I do I do feel like and I was thinking about it when I was reading Gary Gennetti's book because he talks so much about how he literally ran the basement television ran home from school just to watch Sheevy like lived one like 364 days for one when they would like play the Wizard of Oz on Christmas yeah and I wonder like I feel like some kids who watch so much Sheevy like it turns into being this like whole new world for them and we we do what we do. He does what he does probably because they watch. But other kids who watch so much TV, it's not so much.

What do you mean? They're just like TV addicts. Well, no, they like go to Comic-Con. No, they just like. Like it's they are not social. Yeah. Like what are you trying to say? Spit it out.

They're just like couch potatoes. Couch potatoes. There I said it. Yeah, I guess. Maybe that'll be us, though, in 10 years. Like, who knows? I think we're a little young to be couch potatoes currently. Yeah, and I always, like, now, as a mom, I'm like, okay, I don't want my kids to watch

a lot of TV, but it's like- That'll fade. We watched a lot of TV, and I think it only added to- Yeah. Where, I mean, I wonder what we could have done if we weren't watching all that TV. Right. Like, I could- We probably could probably could have been like the next Mia Hamm yeah we kind of would have been like Ilona Musk literally I do um I do find solace in the fact knowing like I'll never become a couch potato because I hate sitting on my couch you're a bed potato I'm a bed potato

yeah yeah I'm showing early stages of bed potato. I love that for you. Me too. And so check out People Magazine for Matthew Perry's full interview. Yeah. I feel like it needs to be a book. I agree. Speaking of interviews,

Meghan Markle's on the cover of Variety Magazine. Did you see? No. And she is sharing some revelations, including Prince Harry's in and out obsession. Though that is not the major headline here. First, she's done with acting, she says. She was asked if she'd consider acting again,

to which she responded. Oh, I never thought of that. To which she responded, quote, no, I'm done. I guess never say never, but my intention is absolutely not. I don't see why she would need to. I don't know. I feel like I would have thought that she would be open to it. Well I just would have thought she's the type of gal who like would

drain at like a talent or a skill for many years and not give it up. And like that's her passion is acting and now. I don't think it is oh I well I just would have assumed since that's what she was doing and people who act like love loved like the art theater yeah and I mean she's podcasting and doing a reality show so right why not and I'm sure now like she could have any part any job she wants that's a good point no I don't I never thought about it. To me, like I just assumed, the chapter was closed.

Yeah, I did too until she became a podcasting reality star. Right, right, yeah. But she said she's not done with Hollywood because they signed the multi-year deal with Netflix and the Duchess discussed the docu-series helmed by director Liz Garbus that will center on the couple. She said this, which was interesting,

quote, it's nice to be able to trust someone with our story, a seasoned director whose work I've long admired, even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it. But that's not why we're telling it. We're trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens. It's interesting.

My husband has never worked in this industry before. For me, having worked on Suits, it's so amazing to be around so much creative energy and to see how people work together and share their own points of view. I feel like she's already trying to put out the narrative, like get ahead of this stock you series being like that's not our version of events by saying that. Oh, that's interesting. To be completely honest, I have literally no idea what she just said the second okay this is the old this is the most what i mean it's nice to be able to trust someone with our story even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it but like it's your contract she's like preemptively saying like she doesn't

like it no she's preemptively saying like if you don't like it i didn't do it yeah like distance if there's a problem with it it's's Liz's lens. Yeah, blame Liz. That's how Liz sees it. Not her throwing Liz under the bus before the show even premieres. Yeah. For me, I'm so looking forward to this TV show like you have no idea. I agree. I am like constantly feeling like Megan is saying sentences full of nothing. Like she loves the word salad with Nora Ephron stressing.

What was that first sentence that you just, like when you were reading it, I was like, what? No, I thought that the first half was more meaty than the second half. The first half, she said,

it's nice to be able to trust someone with our story, a seasoned director whose work I've long admired, even if it may not be told the way we would have told it um this next part I think that's next part is three sentences that could have been one but that's not why we're telling it we're trusting our story to someone else and that means it will go through their lens yeah um I I just need to see the show like for real like I need to see the show there's been like real. Like, I need to see the show. There's been, like, lots of reports that it's, like, they're having, you know, creative differences. I need to see the show.

Yeah, they're literally, like, I'll read page six, and, like, the stories are next to each other. And one, it's, like, Megan and Harry slam in the royal family a new docuseries. Like, they want to push it back. And then the next one is, like, docuseries is coming out on time. Like, Megan and Harry love it. And it's, like, do you guys talk one they want to push it back and then the next one is like docuseries is coming out on time like Megan and Harry love it and it's like which is it you guys talk like which is it I don't think anything that I'm reading about this docuseries I can trust until

I agree the work I completely agree I I I'm still like living in the space like Prince Harry is a reality star like for me it's so low brow. I I'm shocked. Like, honestly, if somebody offered me a reality show, like even I, I probably wouldn't do it. Like it's so even, even at Netflix, like it's so tacky. No, I know. And up until now, like the beauty of their show is like, it's, they get to share their story, their truth and like their side of things. And we get to see them in a way that they want us to see them. And now they're saying like they don't even have that editorial control. It's Liz's lens.

Right. Like, so why? So you're just like a real housewife. No, you're like literally Alexis Nair. Like you're just a person on a reality show. Yeah, no. And so for Prince Harry to be that, like I just, I didn't see that. Yeah. yeah no and so for Prince Harry to be that like I just I didn't see that yeah I mean I don't I think that they do have a lot of creative control but I do think that

this is like a good way of sowing the seeds of being like Liz did that right there's a fall woman there's a fall woman excuse me oh my goodness she also getting bored by megan and harry like i'm i've reached my limit almost i know but like she is everywhere she's everywhere and she's like on the cover of variety like talking about all of these things she said that she'd be fine if her kids got into the entertainment industry she said that her and harry share a home office so you know they're fighting a lot oh my god why um. Why? By the way, I don't like what? No, no, Brian, I was going to say something mean. OK, she said that Harry loves In-N-Out Burger. And she shared, remember, she did an interview with The Cut

and people found it to be snarky. I forget what she had said specifically, but she addressed it and said the New York magazine story was intended to support archetypes and focus on our projects I've had some time to reflect on it part of me is just really trusting really open that's how I move in the world I have to remember that I don't ever want to become so jaded that that piece of me goes away so despite any of those things onward I can survive it again there's no end to this she's saying if she came off snarky in

the interview it's because like she was too trusting with the magazine that they would and like to open okay um cool I'm wishing them the best cannot wait for the TV show to come out. Agreed. Are you ready for our next story? Yes ma'am. I'm ready. It's a little worthy royal news because Daniel Craig has

received his royal honor from Princess Anne saying we've been expecting you. It's beautiful. Daniel Craig now has another thing in common with James

Bond with a thoughtful and poignant nod to his screen character the late Queen Elizabeth made Daniel Craig a companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in January, just like the fictional spy.

On Tuesday, the British star received his honor from the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, at an investiture ceremony held at Windsor Castle. The royal family's official social media pages used a famous phrase from the Bond movies as they shared a photo of Craig's appearance at the castle. They wrote in the caption, we've been expecting you it's beautiful it's absolutely beautiful absolutely beautiful only would have been more perfect if Queenie herself but honestly

I would have assumed he already had one of these you know yeah but it's cool it's really life imitating art you know yeah does this but. But when I think about like the celebrities who like have been knighted or just like recognized, I would throw him in there. You know, Elton John, the Beckhams, Dame Judi Dench, and Daniel Craig. Like I would have already assumed. Yeah.

He's been well on his way. People making the UK proud. Yeah, I need to put in the work. And I think also you need to be like a queenophile. You have to prove your loyalty. You have to have respect. Like we know now David Beckham has the utmost respect for the queen. Obsessed.

I wonder if James Corden has respect for the queen. That's a really, really good point. I mean. Since yesterday, I was seeing so many more things of people being like, no, there's been rumors in the UK that he's a menace for years. Like, this is not the first we're hearing of it. And then that clip was going viral of him. Truth or Spill, like where that show.

Yeah, yeah. But he was the one doing it. And Stephen Colbert was interviewing him. It was like, either drink this sperm or name at least two of your cameramen. And he didn't know their names. That's disgusting. You've been on the show, what, for five years already? Like, yeah.

Wow. So I think we might be on to something here. I think we have the new Ellen. Yeah. Crazy. Anyways, happy for Daniel Craig. Happy for the for the royal family like staying on top of all yeah stay winning stay winning are you ready for a fifth and final story yes Ramona Singer trashes the Roni spinoff calls it quote the loser show sorry it was so funny so funny

Roni alum Ramona Singer shared her unfiltered thoughts on Bravo's plan for a legacy spinoff that features OG stars of the Bravo reality show. She said, quote, I've been there for a long time. I mean, never say no, never say never. But I also feel like the legacy show, how could it really be good? The people they are going to bring back

are the people they didn't want to renew anyways. So now what? Are you going to call it The Loser the loser legacy she's not wrong well first of all the vibe that I got is that Ramona officially knows that she is not being asked to return because now she's you know speaking doing press and making it seem like you know she in this interview was filled with really juicy she's like honestly I I don't know if I would return for the OG show I in the in the year that we've been off I've really enjoyed not being on TV I've I know this sounds crazy but I don't really like attention

like I can't go to dinner I can't go on dates like it it sounded a little delusional like and not believable but some of the like, from her presence on this podcast, like, sound really grounded and not very Ramona-like, you know? No, like, if they're genuine, it sounds like she's completely changed. Right. She said, I don't know if I want to do it again for a lot of reasons. I'm much calmer now that I haven't done the show. I know this is an oxymoron, but I really don't like being recognized.

She said, now that the show's been off, all of a sudden people aren't bugging me. Are you Ramona? I know you're on a date, but can I have a photo? I don't like all the attention. And guess what? The men I date don't like all the attention. Even my girlfriends don't. She said she used to go out and like 20, her friends would be like 20 people came up to

her. And now it's like one person comes up to her. She also said that she didn't enjoy interacting with the media during her tenure as a housewife. She said, quote, I really don't like the press. The press stressed me out with all of that stuff. That was really, really hurtful and made me really unhinged. I mean, unhinged. And I realize now I'm so much more relaxed.

All my friends say I'm 50% more calmer. I still have high energy, but I'm not as hard ass. There's something more gentle and I'm actually able to date now in a better way. I also feel like this jives with what we were saying about her presence at BravoCon where it's like she didn't suck all the air out of the room we barely knew that she was there because she's just like this calm that's actually true now that's actually a very good point and I think her point that she originally made about the loser show is an excellent point like so yeah it's sad because all these OG women are like iconic.

But Andy himself said this is the lowest rated season in Housewives history. So people actually don't care. So you're going to make a whole separate show that nobody cares about. And Ramona, I don't believe is returning. Sonia and Luann have their own show. So it's like you don't really need this. Who else is there? I think they're going to bring Dorinda. I like, you don't really need this. Who else is there? I think they're going to bring Dorinda.

I know. I don't know. But. And honestly, Leah, now that I think about it, really is better suited with this new crew. Yes, for sure. I don't think she wants to be on, and I think she will be on Legacy.

But maybe like, since Legacy would be on Peacock, they have a lower threshold for viewing requirements. And the Roni Legacy crew like does have an established audience, though dwindling, like there is an audience as opposed to coming up with a whole new concept for a show. Yeah, that's true. I forgot that it was going to be on Peacock.

That's a good point. And I think that eventually Roni started to go downhill because they had these like women who are friends for 20, 30 years who have these erratic sort of fights and then they also have like two or three new people who are expected to just jump right in and they have to keep evolving and bringing on new people but you can't blend the two make both work it's just it's erratic so they had to make a choice and they chose both but just to split it up. Yeah, no, that's a good point. I think that maybe if they had just,

if they had even chose the OGs and move forward with just being like, you know what, we're going to have these women who you guys know for however many years, and we're not going to keep trying to bring in fresh blood. Just like, we'll let them do their thing. Maybe that would have been better than what we saw in season 13, which was like trying to make something happen,

trying to make fetch happen. Yeah. I'm just curious who the legacy people are going to be because I don't think it's going to be Ramona. And like, is it going to be Jill? Maybe, I think it will be Luann and Sonia. They need to promote their other show. Their other show is probably like-

Yeah, Luann, Sonia, Dorinda. Luann, Sonia, Dorinda, maybe Jill, like maybe Kelly. I don't think Kelly would ever return. Maybe Cindy Barshop. I know you would love that. I wish. I know you would love that. I wish. I know you would love it. It's interesting.

So yes, I appreciated Ramona's renewed POV. If it was genuine, it definitely sounded like she's changed quite a bit in the last year. Yeah, I don't think she'll be on the show. And your point about BravoCon is great. I don't think she'll be on the show because then she will have just called herself a loser.

Yeah. And that actually makes me even less excited than I was. Me too. Because she's the only New York housewife who has been a main castmate since season one. Okay. Like, I agree. People say that because there was one season where Luann got demoted to friend of, but she still brought it.

I consider Luann to be like that's semantics she was still on that season and she was at the reunion just saying it's semantics sure but it's also factual um well those are the past five stories you definitely needed to know them and we still don't go anywhere have dear toasters which is our advice segment that you can write into deartoasters at gmail.com.

The situation is that I absolutely hate my fiance's last name so much that I can't even say my new name out loud. I like literally combust when I first put my first and new last name

together. I feel terrible because my fiance knows that I hate it, but it's important to him that I change it. I'm traditional in the sense that I want to change it too. I'm looking for advice on how to make my new name roll off the tongue and be proud of it, even if I cannot physically say it out loud. Love you, girlies. This would be easier if we had your name, but of course we protect the privacy

of all of our submissions. I need to know the name. I do have a friend who was in this exact situation. She goes by her maiden name. I literally had to pull out of her to ask what her husband's name was. And she eventually told me, but I would never know. Who are you talking about?

One of my friends down here. Got it, got it, got it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Stick with your maiden name if it really, really bothers you. But also like I need to know. No, but also like married names don't just like sound right off the bat like I feel like I'm

still getting used to Claudia Saffer like it takes time and then by the time you get married and then eventually have kids then you'll really feel like a family and it won't feel so weird but of course like I think the people who change their Instagram name like the night of their wedding it's like psychotic like relax it takes time I have mad respect for it I think if you're gonna change your name rip off the band-aid all like just go all the way in and start like change everything and people will start to associate it like even like Dana who is my best friend for 10 years she made a new gmail literally the night of her wedding changed her venmo like she changed everything you don't have to do that but like I actually really start to associate people with their new name. Like when they just rip off the band and they're like,

call me that takes a while, but I get really used to it. And then I'm like, Oh my God, I can't believe they used to be blah, blah, blah. No,

it's a rebrand. And we love a rebrand. If the name is even better, it makes it so much easier. Lauren Lane. Yeah. But that's not her. This girl's problem.

This girl's problem is she doesn't like how it is period. And I need to know what the last name is. know um and if you're just gonna have to do it if it's really that bad then stick with your maiden name like no but she's traditional like this is something that's important to her and her fiance so there's nothing you can do about it suck it up just make a choice and then whatever choice you make like act like it's the coolest thing in the world like if that's your new name whatever it is even if it's duty balls like right yeah duty balls yeah jealous wench duty balls party five and also at the end of the day like you have a great man's and you're proud to be like i am mrs duty ball and you wish you were so true stunt on the mother duty balls okay just be that's true

like how you embrace it is is how people perceive it. Like if you're being like, oh, I know it's weird. Like everyone's gonna be like, yeah, it's weird. But no, if you're like proud and you just own that shit, like people respect that confidence. Yeah. So that's my advice. Hello, Jaquie, McLurdia, and the Streisbros.

The Streisbrothers, they don't ever get their fucking ass up in work anymore. It's so hurtful. They know that these new chairs have no space for them. That's why. I love listening to you both every day. And here's my dilemma. After two years of dating my boyfriend, I've moved him to his place. And on the day of the move, he left to run some errands.

I was unpacking and organizing my things in his home. And in one of the bedrooms, there was this old open backpack that had a bunch of random crap in it. Papers, a water bottle, an envelope, etc. Now that I was moving in, my motive was to get rid of things that were unnecessary, and this backpack was at the top of my list. Me, not being a snoop, but just wanting to make sure I didn't throw away anything of importance, I looked at what was in the envelope, and it was a prescription for Viagra. I was shook. When was this prescribed? Was it for my boyfriend? Lo and behold, it was under his name name and the date of prescription was August 2022.

Not that having direct child dysfunction is anything that bothers me. We're both in our early 30s. But I have never, ever suspected him to have one. And me being a freak slash a normal girl, my mind ran laps. Does he have a secret life I don't know about? Why does he need this whenever I suspected he needed some assistance when we were together? Do I bring it up to him? I'm not really one to dust things under the rug.

So I'm basically just asking how to bring it up. Sincerely, a kerfuffled toaster. I just want to say, I do think like if you're in a serious relationship and your man is on Viagra, like that's something that you should know. Of course. You pretending like you're decluttering by going through his backpack is a joke. No, I don't agree with that at all. Like I, Ben's, I go through Ben's backpack because literally it turns into a pharmacy.

He has like 45 bottles of zinc. Like I think that there's totally. But you're his wife. Like they're moving in together. Right, but she's like trying to like clean up his space. No, it wasn't his current backpack. Also, it was an older backpack. Okay, but if Zach started cleaning up the bedroom

and included going through my purse. Different, different. So different. I stand with this girl. I don't think she was being snoopy at all. Well, regardless, it doesn't matter how you got the information, even if it was illegally obtained. I don't think so.

We have to deal with the information at hand. And I do think you should bring it up. Just something that came to mind at one point in the last few years, people were saying that Viagra was actually perhaps, I don't, I'm not a doctor, but they were looking into it as a treatment for COVID. Oh yeah. So maybe he had a bad bout of COVID and was trying, you know, some alternative remedies. No, but if that were the case, like he would have told you that, but the fact that he didn't makes me think it's for the reason that Viagra is intended. ED. But also, sometimes people, they might not have ED, but they pop a Viagra just to, you know, go all night.

Because they want to fuck all night long. Yeah. Very Samantha Jones. I would have a, if this is a person that you're going to be very serious with, I would find a way to bring it up in a non-threatening way. No, but also like it would bother me that something like kind of serious would be kept for me. And I would feel as though the person needed to be reprimanded for that. You know?

I think you would need to set aside your anger until you hear his reaction. You know, if he like starts like gaslighting you being like, well, why? Like you should know what health tings are going on with your partner and I just think you should just broach the subject yeah I guess health is like confidential yeah it's like nobody has to tell you but like if Ben was taking like you know cholesterol pills and didn't tell me like I'd be like what the fuck but there's also a difference between a husband and a boyfriend that's true but moving in together is definitely you're on you're getting to the next level so now things are turning serious this is a time for maybe a serious

conversation and you did find out this information I think you should not hold on to it no approach it like a very rational calm you should be able to be open with him. So yeah. And vice versa. But vice versa. Viagra versa. Like you you just reproach it in like a calm very rational very tempered way. And I don't think it'll be like crazy. Yeah. All right. Third and final dear toasters. Jackson Claude.

My husband likes to post unattractive photos of me on social media. The pictures are usually of me asleep on the couch with my dog. I've told him it is embarrassing and I wish he would at least check with me before posting. He doesn't understand why I get pissed about it. He says it is endearing and it warms his heart. I appreciate that he wants to share his feelings about how much he loves me on social media, but why can't he post a good fucking picture? Am I overreacting? Honestly, no, first of all, especially if like he exclusively posts ugly photos of you. Like one every now and then is like funny. A pattern is like kind of diabolical.

Yeah, this would not fly. No. And like maybe this is me looking into it so much, but it kind of makes me feel like he's like trying to make you feel ugly. Like I know that sounds crazy, but like you've told him that it bothers you he won't stop and he exclusively posts photos of you sleeping on the couch with the dog like it it feels like kind of like crazy ass manipulative it could be totally innocuous but it also could be like a really fucking psychotic manipulative thing to do it could be but it also could be like really sweet like he doesn't even notice that you don't look how you think is beautiful.

Like he sees you as- Yeah, but if she says this is bothering me and he doesn't stop, like that's rude. Yeah, but he just like sees you as beautiful no matter what you're doing. And like he just thinks that these pictures, you sleeping on the couch with your dog is sweet. And he's just like trying to share it. I don't know if he's intentionally posting ugly pictures or the pictures he's taking happen to be ugly.

Well, who looks beautiful while they sleep? And also like who posts, who takes a picture of someone while they're sleeping and posts it like. No, it's diabolical. Wait till I wake up. You get the approval.

You just need to be like, I mean, I think Zach, like Zach would never post a picture. It's also not his personality, but like I, he knows like you can never post it. I instilled the fear of God in Ben that anything he posts requires not his personality but like I he knows like you can never I've instilled the fear of God in Ben that anything he posts requires not one but two approvals yeah

like you cannot post an unauthorized photo of course are you crazy right he's trying to ruin my reputation yeah no he just needs to know what you're about and like you're not about to lay down the law you're not about that unauthorized life. Yeah. It's just like, I feel like when it comes to men in social media, like it can never be normal. Like either they're taking ugly pictures of you, either they won't post you. Like why can't you just be normal? Yeah. What's normal?

Taking pictures. We both look at the photo, decide if we like it, and then we come up with a caption together. Yeah. And it's like always like a nice picture, maybe a wedding were at a dinner something where we're all dressed up or we just moved into our house or we got a dog we took a cute picture on self-timer that we all like moments right like why can't they just be fucking normal yeah but not like we're not posting every day no or not at all some of them like won't even acknowledge their wives on social media right but i feel like he's posting these pictures to maybe stories so what's the protocol for stories

of your partner stories require a different set of roles I agree yeah because they're more casual so he's posting pictures of her sleeping he's a little too casual he's a little too comfortable sir and you have to lay down the law ASAP Obviously, you just can't sleep in front of him. Right. No, now it's separate bedrooms. So those were the Dear Toasters. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. And if you would like to write in, it's deartoasters at gmail.com.
