Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Wednest Day. It is Hump Day, a favorite here at The Toast. Make sure this is your reminder that you hump someone you love today. And there's nobody I love more. No girl who grinds my gears gets me more alive than Jackie O. Hey, Jax.

Hi. Thank you. I love every day to hear what you're going to say about me. It must be like so much pressure every day having to come up with something new and flattering and it never really goes the other way though I compliment you throughout the show. It's not pressure. It's not pressure. It's just this you know need for creativity. I don't want my interest to ever feel stale. Oh I don't think anyone could ever say that they are. Well, good. That means

I'm doing a good job. At your job. At me job. That is your job. Oh no, I'm going to lose my job. What's that from? It's a TikTok sound. Everyone's like, oh no, I'm panicking because I'm going to lose my job. And then when they found like the actual origin of the video, it's actually really dark. I'm sure. You know those, no, it's not what you think. You know those people who like set up and pretend to be like teenagers on the internet and find predators and then meet up with them and like film them? Like, are you talking to a 13 year old? Yeah, like they do it in an official capacity usually.

Sometimes it's just like people's YouTube channels. Not fun, but like to scare predators into. And so they caught this guy and he was like this freaky looking dude and they were following him around with the camera when they met up in the parking lot he's like no I'm panicking because I'm gonna lose my job I think he was Irish or something it was honestly like fucking hysterical I hope he did lose his job oh my god that's crazy I told you dark origins of TikTok sounds. That's crazy. Yeah, I love finding out the origins of like viral trending audio. A lot of the time it comes from like old reality TV that I know, you know?

That's like when everyone was doing, you know, Gia Giudice's song. Oh, of course. I knew it, but like people were shook to find out what it actually, most people didn't know. But that's also from reality TV is, hey y'all doing of course also today trained me it's marlo from real hot sides of atlanta like sometimes i recognize the bit sometimes i recognize the voice but every now and then i get a little surprise like i'm gonna lose my job some of mine that are my favorite Akash to come from podcasts, which it's like, do you feel like you want to talk less shit? No, cause I like it.

Yeah. We did kind of go viral on TikTok. Like that's why TikTok can't be banned. Like what would we go viral on? Reels. Shorts. Shorts. YouTube shorts.

Shirts. Maybe we'll have to start posting our podcast clips to facebook stories i just want to say and i know it's probably an accident i have never in my life seen anyone post a facebook story except your husband but i think it's something with his instagram that automatically sends his instagram stories i don't think he knows or no he's just like he doesn't story that often so when he does he's like sure let's blow it up what if I just what if I just shared it to Facebook what if I just syndicate it to all my channels right it's actually really cute when I see it but that's the only time I ever see like someone I know doing Facebook stories that's so funny

I'll have to tell him he was called out every now and then when I post an Instagram story they're like want to syndicate this to your Facebook I'm like are you trying to ruin my career are you trying to ruin my life my reputation I have family I have an image to uphold yeah can't be seen on Facebook stories no um sorry tangential yeah but that's what the show is the tangent the tangent feel free to go off on one anytime well it's Wednesday just some housekeeping big day here you know we got lots to talk about we also have dear toasters our weekly advice segment we have three really good submissions I think I think we'll be able to make a lot of impact a lot of positive change yeah we're gonna say something yeah I was just gonna agree with. I was going to concur.

And it's also our last real episode of the week because I'm headed to Portugal tonight. I have been just nonstop, you know, prep packing, make sure everything is settled at home, getting Ben. Oh my God, Ben,

Vin Expo is a big one, Javits Center. So I'll allow it, but pack, pack. Yeah. No, I don't understand these men. No, it's next level. And he got back from Boston on Friday. That bag was still not unpacked

and you need to use the same bag. Oh my God, I just, it could never be me. And I'm really trying to learn like as I get older, just like not to get so pressed about, it's not me. Like I'm packed. Like why can't I just be happy with my productivity?

But it's because my productivity is irrelevant when my partner, you're only as strong as your weakest link. Thank you. So I know some, some people will be like, don't be such a bitch wife. Like let, he'll get packed. But it's like, it starts impacting me impacting me if he was when he goes on his solo trips and he throws

a t-shirt into a backpack the day before I don't fucking care but I'm going and it's like it's a big trip it's international we need our global entry like there's a lot of productivity that needs to be done before yeah and he just doesn't understand just wait till you have a baby and it's like I pack for me and Harry and we're all packed before zach even gets his suitcase out no and it's like there's no excuse if and it's like i'm packing me and him so it's like i'm it's not like i'm some low maintenance no you're a queen a glamour puss especially we're traveling of course glamour glamour bag every day jewelry of course oh and me and harry like share luggage a lot of the time it's just easier um and zach gets his own and still

with you that I only really wanted to share on the podcast so people can know how nice I am. I really miss you. I woke up today. Some days are harder than others, I really like I woke up today some days are harder than others honestly like and I woke up today maybe it's because like I I've had like a 12-hour migraine so I'm not feeling my best I'm feeling low I have like a busy like kind of anxiety riddled day in front of me and I just

So we'll look for it. We'll shoot for April. Yeah. Jax and I are spending Passover together, which is just lovely. And also I'm coming down a few days early because Jax and I have kind of been like not even spoken about how we've been asked to speak at a prestigious university.

Yeah. We are. They want our expertise. Academic girlies. And we're going to go talk to some students. And we're going to, I think, impact,

That's exciting. Our first like academic, I have to figure out what I'm going to wear. I need a pair of glasses. Yeah. I have to figure out what I'm going to wear. Like I need something that fits. Well well yeah always uh need something that fits need something that makes me look snatched to the gods need something that makes me look

need something that makes me look literary yeah like a merit scholar yeah maybe I should do some shopping today even though I just got some like stretchy dresses from skims that should be good for just like maternity wear yeah but I think that's a little skimpy for yeah university no we can't be looking like big whores at the university yeah we cannot and we're always looking like whores so it'll be hard for us to find something um dressing like a whore and stopping stopping the negative self-talk another viral audio of ours that went viral on tiktok i'm surprised like more of our audience don't go viral because really any moment could like this one right here yeah right do it oh my god jackie's so cute like isn't she so cute today? Oh my God. Turdy Lou. Like do you have bad news to deliver that you're just buttering me up?

No. No. Maybe it's like because I'm leaving the country. I feel like I'm going to miss my family even more. You're feeling homesick. I'm just missing the family. And I had everyone over for dinner on Monday night. And obviously you and Olivia weren't there.

So it just fucking sucked. Yeah. It's not. Just really missing you. Missing you too. Turdy's missing her Lou. Turdy Lou. Will be reunited soon.

I know we'll be together again cause everywhere I go, every smile I see, I know you are there, Marshall Anthony. Whenever Brian sings that song, he puts, by the way,

that's something Brian and I have in common. He'll put his dog's name into popular music whenever he can. And he calls his dog Marshall Anthony, even though Anthony is not his last name um and now I can't sing that song with Marshall Anthony that's so funny I was gonna say are you excited to travel with the snatcher this weekend I am I love getting some downtime with the satch um we've been like talking a lot you know sharing like outfits I just feel like I'm hanging out with the popular crowd you know yeah I was facetim I just feel like I'm hanging out with the popular crowd, you know? Yeah.

I was FaceTiming her last night. She was like showing me some dresses. Yeah. That she was thinking about. It's very exciting to kind of like roll with the popular crew, you know? Yeah. I'm excited for you. You're like my nerdy friend who I like leave behind to go hang out with the popular kids.

Totally. Lol. That's funny. But you can really only be yourself around me. Yeah. And you know the real me. Yeah. But at a certain point, like, my feelings do get hurt when it's like.

No, of course. When you're with the populars, it's like, I don't exist. Yeah, no, and, like, we have this arrangement. Like, when I'm with the populars, like, we pretend like we don't know each other. Yeah, and it's hurtful. And that eventually starts to chip away at you, at your self-worth. At first, I was like, listen, you know, she's a social animal. She has to do what she has to do. This is just how it

has to be. Rising tides rise all shides. Like, she'll, you know, get cool and then make me cool. That's how it starts. Yeah, yeah. But I'm also like the nerd with like too much pride. I don't want to be a part of the popular crew. You are the nerd with too much pride. I'm the nerd who

takes off his glasses and everybody realizes he's handsome that's true you are handsome don't be rude don't be fucking rude you're beautiful attorney thank you um so we've got a great show today to do today like this episode we can't outrun our memory cards so i know we're outrunning your memory card that's good it's really good I am so impatiently waiting for Luke Combs's new album like every song that drops I haven't even spoken about how deeply connected and moved I am by his most recent single Joe you did talk about it oh oh sorry okay but what's crazy is I I love the song just like I love every Luke song, but it doesn't speak to me as much as the other one he released before it.

Love You Anyway. Oh, my God. One of the most beautiful Luke songs of all time. I know, but there's like a verse in Joe that like really makes me tear up. I feel like if you've even been remotely or like distantly known of someone who struggled with addiction, the song has to make you cry. Listen to this part. Ready?

Some battles are fought on foreign shores and some are fought behind closed doors wait hold on there's a better party after that damn no I know it's like so deep he's such a poet and nobody even knows it because he's just like you know this big fisherman countryman like no but they know it okay ready they know some battles are fought on foreign shores and some are fought behind closed doors some fall from grace some lose their wings. Some find the peace salvation brings. It's so nice. Like, I feel like if you're like a sober queen or any sort of addiction, like, I feel like that song could be like a real piece, like a solace for you. You know, speaking of songs about sobriety,

Charles from Lady A recently got sober. Yes, I know. And he put out a solo song um oh wow about I think it's called as far as you could like that pretty much like he like he drank for as long as he could it took him as far as he could right um but he had to eventually put it down it's beautiful it's like straight up about his addiction to alcohol and how it brought him, like it, you know, gave him the courage to meet, like to go up to his wife. He made her laugh, also made her cry.

Oh, no, that's sweet. I, I'm really happy for Charles from Lady A. I feel like his battle had been like this open secret in country music, like a lot of people knew about it. And like, you really can't force someone to make the change. Like they have to want to do it themselves. And I recently saw him post his trip to rehab and he looked very good. He looked very healthy.

I'd like this light back in his face. So I'm excited for that journey. And I'm going to listen to that song on the plane today. I can't wait to cry. It's beautiful. Add it to your list. I'll add it to my list. Um,

and I've also been listening to Morgan Wallen's new album. That's what I wanted to ask you. I just started to, it's my list. I've also been listening to Morgan Wallen's new album. Oh yes. That's what I wanted to ask you. I just started. It's so long. So I'm a few songs in. So good. What's so crazy is like I wasn't even desperate for a new album yet. Like one.

He puts out three new songs every few weeks. Yeah. And like the old album I'm still obsessed with. Like it's not stale to me. So my cup runneth over. Yeah. My thoughts. Init initial thoughts on the album and maybe I'm not able to see it yet because it's just 36 songs but they all they do sound like really repetitive um like only a few of them really stand out to me and maybe I need to listen to it better to like really get it but I was just I don't think it compares to

his previous album but I do really love the song Keith Whitley like love yeah I'm in the middle of it but you know what album I did complete a few times that was wonderful Mimi Webb's album oh Pink's album is good too but Mimi Webb it's called Amelia and she's a star we've got a lot of new music coming Jonas Brothers, Ed Sheeran, Luke I seriously like I cannot wait for Luke's song yeah album I know but I still I still put on growing up album every time I get in the car. No of course. Like I'm not tired of it. I'm not tired of it either but the singles he's been dropping has been leaving me with

this thirst. Yeah. I'm thirsty. You know? Yeah. I don't have enough time in the day to listen to all this music. I know. But now that I'm a driver, maybe I will.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe not. But let's get into everything. So much to discuss today, plus gear toasters. We don't want to disable our memory cards. So without further ado, taking up the memory cards, here are the Fast Eye Stories that you need to know.

Our first story and update on the Scandival. We've got a couple. couple first Raquel has broken her silence and put out a statement exclusive to entertainment tonight about her apologizing yeah quote I want to apologize

for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships there is no excuse I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana I'm reflecting on my choices am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana. I am reflecting on my choices, speaking to a counselor, and I'm learning things about myself such as my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved. I've sought emotional validation through intimate connections that are not healthy without regard for my own well-being, sometimes negatively affecting others and often prioritizing the intimate connection over my friendships. I'm taking steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices. Although I chose to be on a reality show accepting the good and the bad that comes with it, beyond my

own actions, I have been physically assaulted, lost friendships, received death threats, and hate mails in addition to having my privacy violated. I've begun counseling to end my unhealthy behavioral cycle, learned to set stronger emotional boundaries, and learn to protect my mental health. I don't expect sympathy, understanding, or forgiveness. Right now, I must focus on my own health and well-being as I strive to be a better person moving forward. I will prioritize my mental health and learn from my mistakes. So this news broke on Friday.

So she learned all of that from a counselor since Friday. Is the counselor living with her? Like you meet with meet with a counselor once a week okay maybe twice a week or maybe it's something that like she you know knew about herself sort of over the years and could see this pattern in herself but like really couldn't identify it until she blew up her whole world with her actions I mean at the end of the, there's quite literally nothing she could say that would make this better. So like, we're just, we're going to pick apart whatever she says. Like, cool.

There's nothing. We said that yesterday. There's absolutely nothing she could say, but she has to say something. Yeah. As far as what she could say, I think this is as good as it gets. Like she's accepting responsibility. She's not a victim. She's.

It's more than Tom Sandoval did in his first statement she's apologizing in the direction where the apology needs to go that's all she can do at this point there's nothing that's gonna like change hearts and minds the chips have are continuing to fall where they may the out what's the word the um outcome? No, the fallout. Yeah. It will have to continue to fall out until things can like even begin to conceive

of rebuilding forgiveness, making it better. In the final paragraph where she references being physically assaulted, that kind of confirms a rumor that Sheena had found out the night before it came out and slapped her. They were like, I think it was right after Watch What Happens Live, right? Yeah, when Sheena found out, apparently she either slapped her or punched her in the face.

And Markelle has filed a restraining order against Sheena. And she was granted the restraining order. A lot of people say that it's like a ploy for her not to have to show up to the reunion in two weeks because she can't be within a thousand feet of Sheena. But you know what? Sheena doesn't go to... Sheena's on Zoom. Sheena's on Zoom. Sheena's on Zoom.

No, but I wonder how restraining orders work with. Like contact. You can't make contact. Can't be. No, so Sheena's not at the reunion. Because. Bye. Even though what Raquel did was really terrible.

Like, you don't punch someone in the face. No. Sheena's 100% wrong for that. Like, that's just so Sheena. Like, so erratic, you know? Yeah, just having such like an extreme opposite reaction. Like instead of just having like a level-headed reaction the entire time and not setting up your friend

with the other friend and then like. Right, right. So extreme both ways. So extreme both ways. So that was like, and now she's gonna ruin, if she, like I hope this doesn't stop Raquel from coming to the reunion. And if Raquel doesn't go to the reunion, like she obviously shouldn't be on the show anymore.

That's been the rules forever. But the restraining order does throw a wrench into things. But for me, it means that Sheena won't be there. Sorry, Sheena. You played yourself. You played yourself. That was really dumb of her. And she's wrong.

You don't fucking hit someone. But now I'm just curious. Like Raquel has a black eye is what I heard. Yeah, I know. It was like a fucking, it was a punch. And it must have been something that left a mark because she probably has pictures, which granted her restraining order.

But I am curious though about the timeline. Like, do you think she, so Sheena found out after Watch What Happens Live, what's Wednesday night. The news broke on Friday and apparently Ariana found out on Thursday night. Is it just a happenstance that Sheena and Ariana found out two days apart?

Or did Sheena tell Ariana? You know, because we know that Ariana found out from the cell phone video. I thought Ariana found out first. I thought Ariana found out Wednesday night after the show. I guess, no, what night was Tom's show? I believe it was Wednesday night.

So they both just randomly happened to find out the same night? No, Ariana found out and told everyone. Oh, oh, oh, you're right. You're right. Okay, sorry. That's definitely what happened. Okay, I needed the timeline in my head. That's what I believe.

And then Sheena found out and she was like, oh my God, punch. Oh, and she happened to have been with Raquel when she found out. Okay, that tracks. Oh, and she happened to have been with Raquel when she found out. Okay, that tracks. Okay, that makes sense. This is just, it's getting crazier and crazier. Tom Sandoval also released another statement. I guess he saw the dissatisfaction from his crapola first statement.

I can't read so many statements. You know, you get one. You get one. He apologized to Ariana primarily and that his actions, the way he went about them were completely wrong duh there's also so much coming out now about production because they are filming apparently Raquel and Tom filmed a scene they kissed so like they're still together um and then there was another kiss but it was like I think their relationship is complicated right now then there was another scene that apparently was filmed and Tom Sandoval was really unhappy with it. And he wanted to reshoot. They worked. He was told no. And now he's refusing

to show up for filming. There's no way he's going to turn like if he doesn't show up to filming, then he won't show up to the reunion. Then he doesn't have a job anymore. And then it's all over for him. He has to show up. Yeah. I will be so disappointed if either one of them doesn't show up to the reunion. Like that is so. That's such like a bullshit thing to do. Yeah. I think they will. I hope that they will.

This saga just keeps unfolding. Also Tom Sandoval was seen going to therapy. That was obviously staged. Yeah. Like. He was seen going to therapy like what like when they're following him everywhere yeah in that he went to therapy right because he knew people were following him yeah but i mean there's probably cameras and we have to watch a scene with

tom sandoval telling a therapist i don't know why i do that leave me alone i have no ounce of like grace or even remote like sympathy for Tom Sandoval. Like, you know what? I could make an argument about Raquel. She really is this like very like easily manipulated, quiet, shy. Like I, and there's no, honestly, there's no excuse for that. Like you're 30, get it together. But like, I could make an argument for like how Raquel potentially.

I have a little bit of sympathy of the way that Raquel is being treated just because it's more than a human being can handle. um and Tom Sandoval is being treated the same way I have no sympathy I have not one ounce of anything to give to Tom Sandoval I literally don't I don't yeah and I feel like he's loving it like I just really feel that way, which is crazy to think. Crazy to think. But like, I wonder, it's so messed up. Cause it's like, they have to show up for the reunion. It's in their contract and they don't want to be. But like, they could probably bargain for more money to come back next season.

The two of them. Unless, I don't know if their contracts are at a place where they renew every year. Got it. Okay. Oh, yeah. If either one of them had their contract. Because it's like people are saying they should get fired. It's like, I think they might get a promotion.

Yeah. Well, that's just so weird about reality TV. Like the worse you are, the more you're rewarded, which is why it's such a toxic environment and why it ends up being really good. And it's like your personal life. So you need to like intentionally blow up your personal life in order to succeed in your career. But then like your personal life and your career are completely at odds. A hundred percent. If either one of them are in a position where their next contract, where the contract ends at the end of the season, then yes, they are both going to be flying high. Yeah.

Which is just crazy to think. Crazy to think. flying high yeah which is just crazy to think crazy to think so what do you think we're do you think we're gonna hear from ariana like i was thinking you know i could see like alex cooper getting in there and like you know getting ariana on the chair but because they have this show like that's their platform like they're not gonna give this moment to someone else already lala said she recorded an episode with some cast members talking about it and production ceased and desisted it. They had to record something else.

It will be out later today, but it should have been out this morning, but it got delayed because production is like probably not trying to ruin their own show. No, good. Like they really should keep everything. And I know we're all so eager to like know what's going on right now,

but let's let's let it unfold. Like I really do want to see how it plays out on the TV show. I don't really don't want to hear podcasts. You know what they really should be doing? What? Is getting the Love Island editors. Yep. In the studio and putting out episodes now.

We care now. We'll care again in a few months and it will everyone will be watching. But like you're we're never going to care as much as we do right now. No. And at the end of the day, this entire saga is a real case study in how traditional reality TV is antiquated. People's attentions are spans are so short. How you can like you really are letting this moment go by not capitalizing it, capitalizing on it for the show right now.

And they also need to be editing the next episodes, condensing them. Yeah. So that there are like episodes after and we don't have to watch, you know, Sheena getting her nails done talking about some nonsense. So there's fewer episodes that we have to watch until the big break. Yeah. Honestly, I could argue that a big chunk of this season could be cut. Like, let's just keep the Tom and Schwartz stuff.

I mean, the Schwartz and Raquel stuff just to see like what the fuck their angle was there. And then to make, you know, the bombshell of Raquel and Sandoval even more. Yeah. Big. Yeah. So that's the latest. Oh, my God. Totally random tangent right now.

You want to hear something so devastating? Like no, but sure. My local Dwayne Reed is going out of business, which is like if you live in New York, like your local Dwayne Reed is life support. But based on everything you've shared with us, or I don't know if you said on the show, like it makes sense. It's getting robbed like every day no yeah okay so every time you walk in there there's somebody holding up you know the entire store with a knife but I still need that like what I can't tell you how many times in the middle of

the night like we've had to run out and the Duane Reade like there's a Duane Reade on every I understand and I also don't live in like a, I live in like a, a residential area. So there's not a ton of businesses. Yeah. There's not like, all right, okay, I'll walk with another block to the other bodega.

There isn't. And I just, I'm upset. I'm sorry, turdy. It's been really tough. My local pharmacy going out. Well,

there's go puff. Yeah. And you'll have to just be better about keeping stock of everything yeah when in my last apartment I wasn't really I wasn't technically near to a pharmacy but I didn't live on top of one which means I wasn't yeah and you had to like get stuff on Amazon you just have to be like more aware of it I know vigilant vigilant you can't just like go down for a snack a bag of chips no and can I tell you how many times I've just gone down for a Hershey bar like a little something sweet yeah no I used to live on top of pharmacy three apartments ago

and wasn't it my grocery shopping there yeah of course my god Ben's always coming back from the pharmacy with like avocados I'm like where did you get that yeah it's like Dwayne Reed no now you got a instacart so it's just like something difficult I'm dealing with on a personal level that I wanted to share. I'm really sorry about that. Thanks. Thanks for your support. I hope something great comes in into the space,

even though it won't. That's a great point. That's a great point. Yeah. Something that big. It's going to be a bank. I would love. I know.

I'm surrounded by banks. And you only need one. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. Yeah. You only need whatever one is yours, which there already is in your neighborhood. I guess that's true. Put a positive spin on it. I really didn't think about what might be coming next.

Like a lunch spot. Oh, my God. Don't play with me. A lunch spot? It's too big for a lunch spot. Like a spot that sells warm bowls i love a warm bowl yeah it's not a great location for a lunch spot no you live like but there's a lot of like fashion near you too yeah could be fashion

great what if it were amazon fashion oh my god if they open like an amazon go you know those like amazon stores that have you they have like a starbucks in there they also have like a bookstore there's like and you don't have to pay like your phone just like dings and you could walk out with all your shit i love that that's what you need manifest it turn you low i'm mad even though there is an amazon go like two blocks away so they're not going to open one. Maybe it does so well they need another. Manifest. I would love that. I'm manifesting.

Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Cara Delevingne is on the cover of Vogue talking about her substance abuse and entering a 12-step program. She says, I was not okay. Cara Delevingne is speaking out about getting help. In an interview for the April cover of Vogue, the model and actress shared that she entered a 12-step program after paparazzi photos last year

gave her an urgent wake-up call explaining that her behavior was tied to the pandemic's effect and her milestone 30th birthday last august so we all remember the paparazzi photos um she explained that she was like coming from burning man the party just never stopped and she thought she was having a good time until she saw those photos she said quote I hadn't slept I was not okay it's heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun but at some point it was like okay I don't look well you know sometimes you need a reality check so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for but just as she was celebrating her 30th birthday alongside her wide circle of friends with an elaborate Alice in Wonderland themed party, her world was crumbling. She said,

quote, I always kind of knew that things were going to have to be different in my 30s because the way that I was living was not sustainable. I should have been having such a good time. I've got all my friends here. I need to be enjoying this. She said the house I was staying in had a tower and I would just kind of lock myself in it instead. I barely left the room. There was this need for change, but I was fighting it so much. I was welcoming in this new time, but I was also grieving. It was like a funeral for my previous life, a goodbye to an era.

And so I decided I was going to party as hard as I could because this was the end. By the next month, she said she realized she needed help if she was going to turn a new page on her life and her career. From September, I just needed support. I needed to start reaching out. And my old friends I've known since I was 13, they all came over and we started crying. They looked at me and said, you deserve a chance to have joy. She soon entered rehab where she found an additional buttress thanks to a 12-step program she said put this process obviously has its ups and downs but i've started realizing so much people want my story to be this after-school special where i just say oh look i was an addict now i'm sober and that's it and it's not as simple as that it doesn't happen overnight of course i want things to be instant i think this generation

especially we want things to happen quickly but i've had to dig deeper before i was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a week long retreat or to a course for trauma say and that helped for a minute but it didn't really ever get to get to the nitty-gritty deeper stuff. This time I realized that 12-step treatment was the best thing and it was about not being ashamed of that. The community made a huge difference. The opposite of addiction is connection and I really found that in 12-step. difference the opposite of addiction is connection and I really found that in 12 step wow I feel like I never expected this because I again it reminds me honestly of Charles Kelly I think like Cara Delevingne being like a big party girl it hasn't even been like an open secret it's just like a

thing people knew there's like paparazzi photos of her accidentally dropping her keys and a bag of coke flies out like there's like I think there's pictures of her doing like bumps on boats. Like it's just like, that's her. She's the party girl. So for her to like really dive into the 12 step, like I love this for her. I'm, I think this is great. Yeah. And I mean, I think that's what she's saying is like, she was the party girl. She always knew that her thirties would have to be different because like that is not sustainable.

But I think getting to the other side of it was much harder. It wasn't just like, oh, I'll detox and go to a retreat and then I'll stop. It's like, I'm addicted to this lifestyle and I need more help. So the 12 step program,

which has been successful for so many people is where she turned. But I thought it was also interesting where she said like, it's not like I was addicted and now I'm sober. Like, I think she's still going through it and struggling with it,

but she's obviously like made huge strides. And I think the hardest part is just the accepting of the situation. Right, like realizing you're an addict. And so she is, it seems very much on the road to recovery. And we've seen her a few times in the last few months. And she, I mean, she always looks amazing. Yeah on red carpets and they always you know she like when she's glammed and she's but then we saw her at that award show no she's had like some really kind of bizarre erratic

behavior in the last year so to hear that she's been going through not only this like struggle with addiction but also because it's like kind of identity crisis about like her 20s and her 30s actually makes a lot of sense yes it does and I'm glad that she's sharing that because I think it's something that a lot of people can relate to and also it helps us just understand her and she's someone who like so many people follow and and I feel like she's very connected to her fans like she was like the biggest model and the first like supermodel really on Instagram like sharing so much and so she's not just someone who like we see from afar like I feel like people yeah and her personality is so like everyone's best friend yeah so I feel like people will gain a lot from hearing her story yeah I'm also just really happy for her like I think you you know, that lifestyle that like, you know, socialite, cocaine, party girl lifestyle, like that's a slippery slope.

So to, and you're at 30, acknowledge that it's a problem and work on it, I think probably saved her life. Yes, definitely. I'm happy for her. I really am. And a great cover and get for Vogue. Yeah. And she looked beautiful. And so we're always talking smack. Yep. we are always talking smack about Vogue yeah and I guess technically

Nurturing your gut microbiome is important to

support a resilient immune system. In the fall and winter months, immunity is the top of everyone's mind, but what often gets missed in the oversaturation of anti-cold and anti-flu messaging is the role that your gut microbiome plays in systemic health. So throughout your life, your gut microbiome and your immune system work together carefully to coordinate your body's responses to the world and the world within us. Even before we're born, microbiomes help set the foundation of our immune system, teaching our body how to distinguish between benign substances and pathogenic antigens.

up to 80 videos each up to 20 minutes long giving the tiktok community quote a new longer format to watch their favorite creators and content the company said right now the maximum length of a tiktok video is 10 minutes and even that like nobody really uses um i don't know how i feel about this honestly i don't know if tiktok is a platform for long-form content i mean it does sound like a great thing to use for podcasts, like long form. I get it. But I just don't feel like that's what people go to TikTok for. I agree.

People's attention spans have been increasingly shortened by TikTok. So then to like go back to long form, it's like that's like Netflix giving us binging and then dropping things episodically. Like you invented this. We don't watch things for 20 minutes anymore and I don't think a 20 minute video is enough to titillate like the average TikTok users brain like they're they it's it's all about like the scroll like yeah watch 10 seconds of a video like you don't even like it you just scroll it's it's really not how users have been programmed behaving thus far on this app yeah so it's bizarre I like that I do what I do like

about TikTok is like they do put creators first like top of mind for creators is like a lot of people is there this is their full-time job so a lot of people make money off the creator fund which is basically like YouTube ads like you make money from just being a big persona on there more so than Instagram TikTok really puts the creators like as a priority so that I like and just creating another revenue opportunity for creators is is great but I don't see this like really panning out yeah I'm prepared to be wrong but I think this is a flop of an idea yeah I feel like there are some creators who might be able to parlay it into success like if I think about like some of the cooking videos where it's really really quick but it's like hey I actually want to make that like

can we see a whole ass 20 minute video of the recipe good point like some of those people might have success but some people are just doing dumb fucking shit and I don't need I mean I'm not a TikTok user so y'all don't need to be seeing 20 minutes of that you you liked and sometimes what you like about a video is that it leaves you wanting more so I don't know if people will go for this I don't know if people will pay for this and like people pay like if I'm paying for something I want a premium viewing experience I want to watch it on my tv I want it to be big budget production like not some crapola on my phone yeah I just don't like when these big apps like create habits for users and then break those habits like it's confusing yeah I think I think

it's usually unsuccessful or it takes years to have to adapt and I don't know TikTok has like days weeks TikTok the clock is, the clock don't stop. Literally, like your time might be up soon. But it is crazy how like on YouTube, if you have viewers, like you have money. Same with TikTok. If you are like a huge TikToker, can you live off the creator fund? Live? I mean, it depends where you live in.

But the creator fund in terms of like a CPM to YouTube is minimal. But what's crazy is like if you have an Instagram, 20 million followers, unless brands are sponsoring you, you don't make money from the app. Right. And by the way, because Instagram copies everything everyone does, they have started to offer creators like subscriptions now. That and also reels bonuses, which is very similar to like the TikTok creator fund. I'm like getting, you know, $150 when you hit a certain amount of views.

So it's on a smaller scale. And TikTok is good with that. But in terms of actual money offerings, it's not nearly as good as YouTube. And a lot of people feel like when they opt into the, the TikTok creator fund to start making money, their views actually go down significantly. Yeah.

I joined the creator fund when I first started TikTok. And I think you have to have like 10,000 followers. And I would check like once every six months and there would actually be $11 in there. And I had seen people saying that, you know, their views were suppressed significantly when they joined the creator fund.

So I opted out because I wasn't even like, I also, okay, keep your $12. Yeah, I want my views, baby. I do. I get paid for a brand for my views. Right, views are a form of currency too. And I think they're more valuable than what the TikTok creator fund offers creators.

Interesting, very interesting. Yeah, YouTube is really, and even YouTube isn't like they're compared to everyone else like they look like they're extremely generous but it's still it's really not what creators should be getting paid like it's no but like it's not what they deserve big YouTubers make like millions of dollars from YouTube ads, but they have like crazy engagement. Yeah. But at least like. Yes. That's.

It's something. It's a livable wage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, there are a lot of TikTok creators who have millions of followers who are in the creator fund, but haven't quit their full time jobs.

Like it's really supplemental income. It's not. It can't really replace just with the creator fund. Unless you're doing other things like starting a podcast and doing brand deals and writing a book and I don't know, whatever, a blog. Just the creator fund is not a replacement. But just being a YouTuber is.

Yeah. I don't know. Everyone is launching subscription services like everywhere you go. Instagram, like we said. Now TikTok, Apple, Spotify, Spotify. I like Patreon. Like and I feel like Patreon and OnlyFans cover the gamut of like extra content. And if you are a creator, while these these sound awesome.

Wow. An Apple subscription. I can you know, I don't have to go to Patreon or anything that you make money on through an app in the app store. Apple takes 30% of. So when you do an Apple subscription for a podcast or you do a Spotify subscription and you're paying for it, just know 30% of what you're paying for does not go to the creator, which sucks. And that's why platforms like OnlyFans and Patreon are so popular because there's definitely like a small percentage, like a processing fee, but it's not even comparable to the 30%

that Apple takes. Apple, it is, if you want to be on the app store, you literally have to, that's Cameo too. That's why if you were buying a Cameo from someone, do it on your computer. Because that, if you send $100 on Cameo on a computer. You get more. The creator. So if someone signs up for our Patreon through the Patreon app.

Oh, that's a good call. I don't know if you can sign up on the app. You definitely can. I feel like you could. I mean, I don't want to go. That's a good call. But like I remember when I did Cameo um like February or I did it in June most recently sometimes you would get uh someone buying you a cameo and let's say your fee is

$100 and sometimes you'll get 70 if they bought it through uh Apple and if they bought it through a computer you get the hundred well no cameo takes a fee well yeah but it's minimal compared to Apple yeah but it's still like 15 20 percent no no no no no no it's not that much well anyways I like having all my stuff separate I go here for this I go there for that and I don't I don't know if that's like sustainable and I feel like everyone's trying to make like one large ecosystem but I don't know i but my large ecosystem is my phone the phone has everything right that's such and then i like to be organized within it she's so right the ecosystem is the phone right yeah it's like the ecosystem is my apple tv and then i want all my apps depending

on right what my mood is no you're so right like why do we have to make it more complicated than that like try so hard all the time but it's like just be grateful for where you are and what you have isn't it enough tiktok enough tiktok you're not making enough money you don't take up enough of people's time tell you now are you ready for our next story yeah another creator judy bloom and her fans explore the author's legacy in the trailer for a new documentary judy bloom forever oh my god that's so sweet the life and work of celebrated author judy bloom is set to be documented documented in the upcoming film judy bloom forever on On Wednesday, Imagine Documentaries and Prime Video exclusively shared the trailer for Judy Blume Forever with People.

know what i'm there's another offer i think it's Lewis um Lewis Sacar who also wrote like the books that we read when we were this age and like I'm just having a vivid memory but maybe it wasn't Judy Blume it was Satcher books oh he wrote holes he wrote um what do you keep saying that you think it is? Fruity Nutcake. I'm having this really vivid memory. It's not Roald Dahl? Books for kids. You know Roald Dahl, do you see?

And there's like this nutty stick figure on the. Look up Louis Thatcher. I feel like he might be your guy. No. on the on the look up lewis satcher i feel like he might be your guy no and lewis satcher is the one where you have to kiss your elbow right i have literally no idea what you're talking about you don't zero well maybe i'm thinking of amelia bedelia queen if anybody knows what the fuck i'm talking about like please drop a comment. Oh my God. Yeah.

This book it's called, is he a girl? And it's, if you can kiss your elbow, but you can't like try kissing the tip of your elbow. You can't. It's so hard, but if you do it,

you can turn into a girl. Well, that book would not fly in today's climate. Is he a girl? No, I mean, so many of these books are, maybe that's what they're talking about.

When Judy Blume was being banned. Yeah. No, I think she was probably banned for being No, I mean, so many of these books are... Maybe that's what they're talking about when Judy Blume was being banned. Yeah, no, I think she was probably banned for being, like, you know, exploratory. Well, she did talk about, not sex, but, like, vaginal health, in a sense. Like, it was very anatomical. I honestly don't remember. She was a queen. I love her. I'm glad she's getting a documentary.

I hope she wins some sort of film festival award. speaking of banned books roll dolls books are being like rewritten do you have you seen this yeah to be more you know pc with like augustus gloop isn't fat anymore but he's like but he is so you can change the book i think he's like big as hell you can change the book but you can't change facts no and like his and augustus was a big boy into the story oh and by the way like everyone is obese like are we erasing are we erasing fat people the erasure of augustus gloop is disgusting it's disgusting and you know what i won't fucking stand for it i'm not into this you know what things were different in the past can we just leave it at that yeah no it's a rewrite and by

the way i like how there's no one talking about a raw doll as a like a raging anti-semite but he was mean to the fat people like okay to see where your priorities are still big as hell in the book and his weight is germane to the story yeah Yeah, of course, because the reason he, he's like gluttonous. So like, congratulations, you did fucking nothing. Congratulations, you played yourself. Are you ready for our next story, which is one of our favorite subjects, Turdy Lou?

Yeah, yeah. A Powerball winner who won the two billion dollar powerball prize files for bankruptcy is moving on up because he just bought a huge mansion in Hollywood for 25 million dollars his neighbors will be Jimmy Kimmel and Ariana Grande and the house is fucking sickening honestly I would have done the same thing with my earnings like yeah oh I can't be a star I'll live with them yeah he took his payment so it came to $9.97 million before taxes that's insane which is before taxes so he's got about half a half a bill half a bill yeah yeah I'm gonna assume I wonder if lottery winners still uh get mortgages I hope he's being financially smart like he's has an advisor or something because you should still

get a mortgage even if like there's no reason you should put down 25 mil put down five yeah yeah but also he's getting sued by a man that claimed that his winning lottery ticket was stolen believing that Edwin is the name of the winner was involved in the alleged theft but the the Powerball is standing behind Edwin as the rightful rightful winner um and so does it say what else he's bought or is this his first big purchase the first one that we know oh was this like the most recent the recent winner the big Powerball but we never got like for a while I feel like he didn't claim because things were quiet and we never even did a story on like here's the winner his life is changing but his name is Edwin Castro where was he from like California originally or now he just because he has the money he wants to live in Hollywood yeah that's a great question who is Edwin Castro

he was California okay so he's not uprooting his entire like hopefully his family's there and they can keep him grounded I just I always worry about you know you think two billion dollars like I'll you know have money for generations but not only do you get like 25 percent of it it's easy to run through money yeah so people so people think that they found, he's a FIFA streamer. They found his username and this is a message that he posted when he won. It's unclear if this is like really him, but he shared a 10 second video of someone saying not to message him because they won't get a response.

Quote, I just want to say anyone that's got my number, please delete it. I have no time for you anymore. Please don't message me because you won't get a reply. Life's changed now. Yes, yes mic drop I'm out poor people if you knew me before you don't know me anymore you don't know the billionaire Edwin Castro money changes people and Edwin Castro is and he's not afraid to admit it love and respect to him yeah I think when you win $2 billion, you have to change your phone number first and foremost.

A hundred percent. Like the people that come out of the woodwork, like, hey, my foot hurts. Can you take me to the doctor? Yeah, or just like people who are like, do I have this person's phone number from middle school? Like, let me try. All of a sudden, billions of texts.

No, and you really, there are so many phone numbers out there. Actually, this guy on tiktok who goes around and asks people who's the most famous person they have in their contacts like weirdly everyone has someone's phone number who's like celebrity adjacent because celebrities were normal for a while and some of them don't change their numbers and like some of them you know you get drunk out at a bar you give it out like people people have phone numbers yeah or like someone knows someone who knows someone who and it's like everyone's like passing like oh my god I have so-and-so's phone number by the way like when I was in high school I think Margo somebody got Rachel Zoe's phone number oh and it was real and like we would text her and call her and like

literally bother her and like she eventually changed not you admitting to harassment yeah I did that shit I did that shit. I did that shit. When I was really young, I have a vague memory of one of my friends having Courtney Cox's phone number. Oh! But I never tried her or anything.

It was just like enough to just have it. That's funny. That's so you. Like just call her. No. What if you just called Courtney Courtney up I wonder if I still have it because I nah I don't think I do because at one point I used to like change over all my contacts but there was one time where I did it manually so that I only did the need to knows

it was still like 10 years ago but now I don't have her oh let me check if I still have Rachel's though Rachel I do who's the most famous person in your phone probably Gwyneth yep that'll do it that'll do it what about you besides me I don't know I don't know because everyone's like an influencer you know what about Iris I was actually just thinking Iris yeah Iris Apfel is probably the most that's pretty cool yeah was that our fifth and final it was okay great let's dive into dear toasters our weekly advice segment that we do every Wednesday if you ever want to write in the email account is deartoasters at gmail.com you could write in about anything.

Growing up, I always had this favorite band. Their concert I went to recently was near my university. When I went to the concert, I had the opportunity to meet them. One of the members talked to me a lot, and we kind of hit it off, and he asked to follow me on Instagram and then proceeded to DM me saying it was nice to meet me. The next morning, I looked at his Instagram, and to my surprise, I saw on his profile that he was married with three kids. Around a year later, he DM'd me and told me he was going to be playing a concert near my school again. He was messaging me and practically begging

me to come backstage before the concert. I went to the concert, and I talked to him. It was nice and chatty, but nothing I wouldn't have said if his wife was there. After the concert, I told him that my friends and I were at the concert and that we were headed home. He responded with, if I came back with you, what's in it for me? I'm sure he's doing this with other girls he meets when touring. But do I DM the wife and let her know that her husband is actively trying to hook up with girls 10 years younger than him? And I'm sure with others, he is actually successful.

Does she need to know or would I be causing drama where there doesn't need to be? Sincerely, a girl who needs to find a new favorite band. Girl, drop the name. I'm curious. Oh my God. Like I thought maybe at the bottom, like, she would tell us who it is. No, I have to say, the way she describes it, it sounds like it's a band, like, we would maybe not know.

Like, it's like a small-time band. Really? You know? Yeah, that's just a vibe that I got. No, I got, like, New Kids on the Block. Like, used to be cool. Oh, I got, like, Big Time Rush. Big Time Rush.

Like, we're kind of not far off from each other. No, like, you know, on some sort of, like, reunion tour, like, had their heyday. Yeah. Uh. I don't know. This seems like a situation where it's like, mind your business. Yeah. She'll find out.

Because also, it's like, if he is Hollywood, then, like, they might have some sort of thing going. And I don't know. I mean, if it were me, I would absolutely want to know. and I don't know I mean if it were me I would absolutely want to know but I don't know I I literally I honestly do not know I know it's like women we like owe each other stuff but like this is not like a person you know it's not like a friend I don't really feel honestly she probably wouldn't see the message and I would say there's probably a chance that she knows he's fucking around on the road. I think most spouses of touring artists know that.

So I don't feel like it would be this big bombshell revelation. I just feel like mind your business. Yeah, I think I would just stay out of it. I don't want to be in the middle of this. And there's probably stuff she does know. And might I suggest Five Seconds of Summer for a new band I love in five sauce none of them are married with three kids that's true they're all young so it's pretty harmless like Backstreet Boys yeah I mean if we wanted to we could figure this out drop a comment who

do you think it is how how can we figure it out we literally couldn't there's so many old bands touring no like band members who have three kids and wives that are still together honestly I don't feel like it's that many has two kids right yeah oh thank god crisis averted I can't believe that even came to the top of your mind Kevin Jonas would fucking never because I was just thinking about the Jonas Brothers then being being a band that came back. Right. That you would like when you're younger. And the other two. Like I have one and two babies for sure.

Like I just need it to confirm. Yeah. No. I think we can narrow it down to. The kids are probably young. Like if you're looking at the person's Instagram. And they have pictures with their kids. Like grown ass kids don't take like a lot of photos with their parents.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if you could say that. And also what are we considering a band? Like this a duo would we consider a band because I had someone top of mind even though they don't fit the profile I'm thinking like Backstreet Boys New Kids on the Block Big Time Rush I guess oh wait she said growing up I always had this band as my favorite yeah you're right growing up if she's a toaster I'm gonna say she's about 30 it's Backstreet Boys Growing up, I always had this band as my favorite. Yeah, you're right. Growing up.

If she's a toaster, I'm going to say she's about 30. It's Backstreet Boys. Or Nuka's on the Block. I don't know. I don't see that. Whoever wrote this in, you absolutely have to let us know. We will not share. We won't share. I'm just curious now because I'm nosy.

I also want to know if like we're getting warmer. Right. Are we on track at all? Question mark. How many kids does Nick Carter have? That's an amazing question. You guys, the rest of the episode is going to be dedicated to figuring this out. I think everybody's with us.

Three. Is he married? For sure. Yep. And by the way, what we've learned about Nick Carter in recent months is that he's absolutely disgusting. Let's not forget he is being accused of rape, correct? Yeah, raping a disabled fan. Right, so lest we not forget, stay away from him.

Yeah, and his wife knows. Right, so there's nothing you tell her. Oh, he DM'd based on the shit she probably already knows. It's mild. And don't forget what Aaron accused him of. Right. All right, next up. Glad we got to the bottom of that,

and we can provide an answer which is we don't need to say anything because she knows yeah she knows and now we knows hey Jackson turd I'm a relatively new toaster and your show is the only thing getting me through my job I recently started as a lawyer at a big law firm and I cannot function I'm on call basically 24 7 and I can never go a few minutes without looking at my phone it's taking over every aspect of my life and now I live in constant states of anxiety. Even worse, I was told by people on my team that I should not make any plans during the week since I'm expected to always be around. However, everyone on my team is married and I'm the only single one, so they don't understand that I need to date during the week. I can't just go out on weekends. The only way for

me to do this is to check my phone every 20 minutes or so on a date so I can communicate with work. Is this okay to do on a date? I on dates especially at the beginning that I find it rude when guys check their phones so it's so hypocritical if I do it how do I go about doing this p.s I tell myself every day that I'm quitting to get me through so any suggestions that um are welcome that involve me keeping my job okay well I just want to say getting a job at a big like one of those big law law firms is a huge accomplishment. So congratulations to you. And they pay really well.

They pay really well. And like you have a track for your career. And if you like, you know, keep working hard, like big things will come your way. So I don't think that you should quit. And like you went to law school. Like what? What are you going to do? Like you're doing what you should be doing.

But like if I were dating and I went on a date with like a big lawyer and he was really like successful and like he really was doing the things he says he was doing and like at the beginning of the date he was like to me like I'm so excited to be here I just have to check my phone like every 20 minutes because of work stuff because I'm like such a big deal um I just I don't want you to think it's rude I think that you could try that like I think I would be understanding like if I like this guy I could give him a pass to check his phone every 20 minutes especially if like he's gonna be a big success no and then you get to check your phone every 20 minutes which is awesome for you too yeah I think being like totally transparent about it in the beginning is fine

I also think I would um is there like a woman on your team who's married who you could just like ask like if you're friendly with me likeie, like how do you live like this? Like you're married. How did you meet your husband? Like also, it would also be beneficial for you perhaps to date another lawyer. So, you know, they understand the hustle and the bustle. So if there's any cuties in your office, check it out.

But then it's like, you know, this reminds me of a book that I read called The Boys Club by Erica Katz. It's literally about a girl who's like working in big law and she, you know, kind of spirals and it might actually be too close to home for you to read, but I enjoyed it. So, um, maybe you should read it, but it doesn't sound like you have a lot of time. But I also really like the idea of you like asking a superior, not a superior, but like somebody who's married, who obviously was on the same track as you and

just being like, Hey, question mark. If everyone else is married, it's clearly a possibility. Be like, how did you meet your husband? Like, like how did you I'm like really struggling to date like because I don't want to drop the ball on work stuff so you have any advice for me sister great question and to find a way to like understand like what needs to be addressed like some things are not need to do this at minute exactly so I don't know how long you've been there but maybe just after a certain amount of time, you'll be better at like, a lot of people, you know, they move the mouse on their computer and they're still working, you know?

Yeah. So something like that. But I would start with transparency and be like, listen, I'm a big shot. Find a better way to say it. And I just need to check my phone every 20 minutes. I hope that you're not offended because I'm really excited to be here.

But like, I also, I take a lot of pride in my job and I'm a really big deal. And work really hard I think people really respect um honesty if I were on a date with someone and they said that I would have no problem with it me neither if they just right off the bat said I'm not like you know bored I just like absolutely have to check my phone every 20 minutes so I don't lose my goddamn job and be like oh jobs am I right and then that's a great thought starting question that would actually like annoy me like a little bit because it's like is he counting down like to the 20th minute to

check his phone is okay but then you're overthinking what I'm saying even you're overthinking it yeah give it a shot or find like someone else with a really demanding job but then like how would you guys ever meet because you both have like two free minutes a week. Lunch. A working lunch. Let us know how it goes. Third and final. Dear Turdiloo and Jax.

Hearing you say it's so rude to have no regard for your partner's sleep has really opened my eyes to my own relationship and I need your help. I sleep over at my boyfriend's place frequently during the week because he refuses to park his truck on the street at my place So I go to him He has to wake up for work hours before I do and for a while now when he wakes up He turns on all the lights in the apartment and makes me leave when he does To give you context He's got a one-bedroom apartment and he not only turns on the bathroom light and living room light both with the doors open to the bedroom But he also turns on his bedroom light while i'm still sleeping It makes me leave before 7 a.m

When I don't really need to be up before 9 After hearing you speak on this I told my boyfriend that I would really like it if he did not turn on the bedroom light while I'm still sleeping and makes me leave before 7 a.m. when I don't really need to be up before 9. After hearing you speak on this, I told my boyfriend that I would really like it if he did not turn on the bedroom light while I'm sleeping because it just dawned on me how selfish that behavior is. He then told me I was rude for asking that of him and that he, quote, pays for his places in the lighting bill so he can do whatever he wants with them. For more context, we've been dating for a year. He's 30. And this just all seems like childish and selfish behavior from someone I thought I'd be engaged to this year what would you do a confused toaster I mean it's hard to like you know obviously no more context but your boyfriend sounds like a prick yeah and it's like if he won't sleep at your house if he's being a prick about the lights like

he's probably a prick elsewhere I think you should just start to be like listen I'm really tired um I I don't want to get up at 7 a.m when I don't have to I'm gonna sleep at my place and just like put your foot down and see if he comes to you a little bit or can meet in the middle and like you should be if he's your boyfriend of a year you should be able to stay in his place and not have to leave when he leaves that's fucking weird that's like he doesn't trust you and like the sheer fact that he won't make the effort to go to your apartment because he has to park on the street take take an Uber, ride a bike, walk. But it does sometimes make sense.

There's always one person's apartment where it makes more sense to stay at. For sure. But to refuse to go to your girlfriend's apartment because you don't want to park like he obviously sounds like he literally sounds like a lazy oaf. He sounds not like lazy oaf, like a dictator. Yeah. No, he sounds like a prick honestly like and I would be curious if this sort of energy and behavior like funnels its way into other aspects of your relationship I'd be shocked for sure there's no reason he needs to turn on the bedroom lights there's no

reason why you have to get up at 7 a.m. the kicking you out is the is the most shocking part of this whole thing booty call right it's so rude like throw them cab fare and get out there's no and the fact that he doesn't let you be in his apartment when he's not there is Right. It's so rude. Like throw them cab fare and get out. No. And the fact that he doesn't let you be in his apartment when he's not there is also cause for concern. Yeah. Mi casa es su casa. I think you should start spending the night at your place more.

I want to just be able to sleep in. And see if he comes to you. Yeah. I pay the lighting bills at my place. So I'm just going to pay them here and use the lights how I want to use them. I'm just going to enjoy my lights. Yeah. It sounds like torture.

Yeah. And see if he comes to you. And if not, then enjoy my, I'm just going to enjoy my lights. Yeah. It sounds like torture. Yeah. And see if he comes to you. And if not, then you realize like you're the one who's been literally putting in all the effort to everything. Let us know how that goes. That's our show, Jess.
