Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Chose and happy, oh my God, Wednesday. Okay. Okay. Okay, Wednesday. I see you. You're looking gorgeous today, Wednesday. Wednesday, you're looking fine.

You really are. I can't believe it's Wednesday. I love that for us. Yeah, exciting to really just be thrust into the latter half of the week. 100%. I love a good thrusting. It is not one, but two degrees here in New York. It is so cold, you guys.

If you're wondering why it looks like a freak, I have a heating pad on my legs. I literally can't get warm today. It's so crazy here. It's like the whole street is white and it's not snow. Do you know that feeling when it's so cold? I don't know what the hell that is. Yeah, I see.

Well, this would be a good time to tell you. Guess the temperature here today. 65 and sunny? 65 and sunny. That's what you wear in 65 and sunny? Well, actually it was 63 and not exactly sunny, but not like not a lot of sun. Yeah.

And you know I dress for the show and your studio is freezing not necessarily the climate though I was out this morning and this was the perfect thing for the weather because it was like 63 and a little balmy it was really beautiful perfect not the balmy balm and you know I love a balm. I love the Met Balm. I'm gonna go to the Met Balm. So today's Wednesday which means a lot of things. One it's hump day and I just feel like I would be people are always telling me Claudia like use your platform for good and that's what I'm about to do. Do not forget to hump someone you love today. Who are you gonna hump since your mans is out shopping in Los Angeles?

I mean, you're right. Like, I'm kind of a loner. You've got to find a hump. Oh, well, I have an appointment today with Dr. Giese for some Botox. So she's probably the only person that I'll come in contact with today. She'll like that. So gird your loins, Dr. Giese. I'm coming for you.

I need Botox. It's time. I mean, yeah, well, I'm breastfeeding right now, so I can't get Botox but the minute I'm done I was actually thinking this morning of all the things I need to do and how I just kind of like want to do a day trip to New York when my time comes like just to do my services like haircut Botox eyebrows yeah but that kind of goes against my way of traveling which is like let's make it a big event Jackie like will not go somewhere unless she could bring her entire family which is like so sweet and cute like you can just take a day trip I know I could but don't you want to see the boys let's make it a week

no of course of course of course but like just come by yourself you know you could stay with me true if you bring all the boys like I don't think everyone could stay with me no and I I still have some time on breastfeeding like I'm starting the weaning process which takes like weeks so it's not happening for a while but I was just thinking about it today we're just like in such similar stages like weaning off of ozempic weaning off of breastfeeding like it's kind of amazing how similar our trajectories are right we're both so clean right yeah except we're getting botox it's fine it doesn't count it's literally medicinal yeah it is it's good for migraines and jackie and i were both also like up in the middle of the night for different like yeah we're on like different paths but they are

converging in the middle of the night at 3 a.m. Different destinations, same journey. I guess you could say that. I like went to bed so early. I watched a little bit of The Crown, went to bed at 10. I woke up at 3 to pee and like I was up. And at 6, I was like, okay, you know what? I'm going to go to the gym. But I really didn't want to go.

So I was like, let me just see one last time if I could fall back asleep and I did so I got a little bit more sleep I've decided recently like I decided in the last few days so Charlie like wakes up like five six like in a lot and I've decided I'm just gonna like start my day earlier and stop like trying to get it because the other night when we weren't working like he was up at six and then didn't go back to sleep until eight and like if we were working I should have started my day at six but it was the weekend so it was fine but I'm like you know what I think I should just like start starting my day at that early wake up I'll get so much more done that trying to get him back to sleep for two hours is so like frustrating and I think I should just get on with it so that's what I've started to do and it feels good ish that it is nice to

have time in the morning Ben used to do that like Theo used to wake him up for dinner I mean breakfast and Ben would fall back asleep and just feel like shit when he woke up yeah you don't even feel any better yeah no you feel worse when you take that like last chunk of sleep like it's you're still not rested so you might as well be productive and get on with it. So that's a good resolution for me in the New Year is, like, to start my day earlier and stop trying to, like, get that sleep in. It's just not going to happen. I love that. Love.

Yeah. So, yeah, I was up to with the churls and curls and sleeping through the night is not happening in my household. We kind of have to address something from yesterday's episode. Do we? I just think it's probably best for our safety if you or I don't take a trip to Detroit in the coming weeks and months.

I had no plans. They're not happy with us. I shouldn't take a day trip to Detroit? No. Maybe you can get your eyebrows done in Detroit. They're not happy with us. They're a prideful city. We just kind of took like a massive dump on them. Which we do.

And I just want to say one thing to Detroit. Like it's not your time. Sit down. It's not your time like for the Super Bowl. It's not your time for toast affection. But like everything, things change, things evolve, and anything can happen. So just stay hopeful, Detroit, but stay real with yourselves. Yeah, stay hopeful, stay real.

Although I do want to say like it really wouldn't behoove us to be out here like slamming Detroit. We're huge in Detroit. Oh, right. I didn't know that. No, and it's nothing against the people of Detroit. I could see us in years from now like singing Detroit's praises like yeah everything's coming up Detroit but right now not everything's coming up Detroit everything's coming up San Francisco 49ers not San Francisco the city

you're saying Detroit isn't the name on everybody's lips no and it's the name on more lips than usual but not everybody's lips and I feel like we could agree on that Detroit by the way I had an idea for a patreon episode let me know what you think and let me know like what people in the comments think actually maybe don't um if we did a fast five but only sports because I feel like we're like every every time we sit on this show like it's almost like our natural inclination is to talk about sports it's so crazy yeah i'm so down maybe if we get it out of our systems in like an hour-long patreon we could go back to talking about normal stuff here at the toast unlikely i say we give it a shot okay there's just like a lot going on obviously in the nfl of course but just in the sports world in general we should have our husbands on standby like on the phone if we have any questions that come up and we need answers but like it's so much better to come up with our own

answers yeah but sometimes you do like it's not even about answers it's just like opinions you know they contribute talking head style so how are the stories today good i feel good about them you do yeah i do oh she feels strong. They came together. I would say today's like story selection process was an average ideal perfect day. Not amazing the stories write themselves, not desperate, but just like five stories that I wasn't scratching the bottom of the barrel. I was at four and I didn't even realize

I was looking for just one more. We got up to six and I took one out. Oh, when you have six options, like your cup runneth over. That's the best feeling. Yeah. It wasn't hard to take one out. Yeah. Just make the cut.

Yeah. It was an ideal story selection day. I have no complaints. That's so great. I can't even think of what like could be a story. What happened yesterday? Let me try and guess. No, because then we're going to talk about it. So it's great. I can't even think of what like could be a story. What happened yesterday? Let me try and guess. No because then we're going to talk about it. So it's better that you don't know.

You won't be super surprised by anything. Maybe one. Oh she went rogue. No no no. Maybe one that you hadn't heard yet that you do need to know. Something about a farm and you know. I wish. Sourdough starter. I wish. Ballerina Farm is still at Mrs. Universe

she's doing great even though I don't think she's competing no she's like a judge no yeah because she's the current

Mrs. America what she's the crown holder so she's there to bequeath it oh my god you did not tell me

that yesterday I kept trying to tell you she's Mrs. America oh my god I thought you were being like your annoying self when you're like she's literally Mrs. America yeah I was trying to say if you would listen to me oh no I I was trying to say you couldn't choose a more perfect Mrs. America wait and I thought that was you being like when you LARP no no no I was being extremely literal and And I don't know if she's at Mrs. World competing for Mrs. World as Mrs. America, or she's there hosting because she's like such a leader in her field.

I don't know. And last year when she won Mrs. America, like how many followers did she have? Is she new? Like how long has she been around? I feel like she's been around a while. Did you see last night I started sending you some other homesteading trad wives you jackie started sending me content like from i didn't want to bombard you freaks i didn't want to bombard you but i needed you to see what's going on like these women like play dress up except they're not like this is they're cosplaying in their lives as you know little house on the prairie. But these are women with like homes with electricity who choose to use a fire and a, like a pot outside.

A cauldron. A cauldron, thank you. To like make some baked beans. Like to me, that's just beyond unnecessary. And they're filming it all on their iPhone 12 Pro Max.

No, some of the shit you were sending me, like I wouldn't, like I don't even want to breathe the same, breathe Ballerina Farm's name in the same sentence as these people yeah because the people you sent me like dead serious jackie like we're absolute freaks and also i think you know not to be like i'm not saying but it's more impressive like some of those women like don't have kids so

it's like of course you have the time to endlessly cook and procure your herbs and like you know there's time wow but for me she went there ballerina farm is extra impressive because she has now eight children and she's doing these things and not to say blah blah blah by the way by the way like though it's crazy i'm like that's considered a crazy thing but like i think it's just logical like if you have eight kids you obviously have less time in the day than someone with zero kids like come on right is what i'm saying and that's factual like that's considered a crazy thing. But like I think it's just logical. Like if you have eight kids, you obviously have less time in the day than someone with zero kids. Like come on. Right. Is what I'm saying. And that's factual.

And that's fair. Actually, we have a Dear Toasters today. Actually, we have two Dear Toasters. One that sounds like it was written by you. And one that sounds like it was written by me. I'm so excited. That sounds like a great Dear Toasters. Yeah, no, they're great.

Wednesday is our day for Dear Toasters. So please, by the way, we're running a little low in submissions. Like some of these stink. Sorry. So deartoasters at gmail.com if you want to write to us. Also, you head over to thetoastpodcast.com. There's a submission box. You could just submit it right there.

Great. Thank you. Oh, my God. Wait. I need to add a Dear Toasters. Why? Jackie, do you remember what I sent you when I was in Mexico? Yeah. Yeah yeah I do do you remember bitmoji oh yeah so take out the one that doesn't sound like it was I am you or me oh my god I

forgot that somebody dm'd me the funniest deer toaster submission they were being dead serious oh here it is. Okay. I'm including that. I totally forgot about that. I screenshotted it because I wanted to have it on the show. Great. Okay, so let's dive in because we've got a lot to do today. We do.

She's canceled all engagements until Easter. Oh my God, I thought you said she's canceled. She's canceled until Easter. Cool.

Kensington Palace announced today out of nowhere that Kate Middleton earlier this month underwent a planned abdominal surgery at the London Clinic on the previous day. They said the surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days before returning home to continue her recovery. That's like a lot of time in a hospital. To recover? Yeah. Yeah I guess. I don't know what the standard is for a surgery and I don't we don't know the extent of what the surgery is. What is it like? No I'm saying it sounds like it was like a pretty major surgery yeah or they're just like taking an abundance of caution having to recover there and then she'll be oh whoa until Easter and then she'll resume her royal engagements that's like probably low-key nice because I feel like as a royal like you don't get PTO like you you're like and of course they've

like scheduled Christmas and you know vacation no but even Christmas that was her last public appearance she's working Christmas right no I feel like they don't get time off like in in a major sense like this so it must be crazy I also feel like the royals since they have the best health care on the planet like the only time in recent memory I can remember like hearing about a royal's health concerns was Philip and he was literally 700 years old like of course he was gonna have health issues I mean like this is so this feels like such a foreign like headline to me yeah I just hope everything's okay they didn't say exactly what happened but that the surgery went well and and all is expected to be good but I just I worry you know wait like what kind of surgery is in your stomach like appendix appendix but they said abdominal right and appendix I feel at this

point is very routine. Like I think you could be back at work in a week. Yeah. I don't know. See it's a little concerning. Mysterious. They seem unconcerned and they're just like all's well. Surgery went well.

She's recovering. See you at Easter. Easter's kind of far away. No. I know. So it's not nothing. It's not nothing. That's all I'm saying also I watched two episodes

of the crowd last night and they might have been like two of the worst episodes like for real was it is there a look is there a lull yes and they stick an episode in right as things are getting good which way so I believe is it okay so the first one that was like kind of dreadful was William just being a like a miserable brat. Will's mania. Will's mania. After his mom died, like understandable, I'm not mad at him, but like to watch it was painful. He said some like really horrible things to his dad.

And then Philip ended up bringing them back together. Yeah, I think he had to go through that hard time and we had to see it for him to become the man that he is today. It's not like he was just perfect all his life. Like he was a dreadful teenager yes and then the second episode was the queen was like thinking about reform thinking about like cutting you know budgets and making herself look like more common like the people and then at the last minute she was like no fuck this I didn't mind that episode that didn't come to mind as one of the dreadful ones what else happened in that episode

nothing I liked hearing about like all these jobs it's a lot about Tony yes that was by the way I agree the part where they like showcase the most random fringe people that they employ just really highlighting like how frivolous their expenses are um like the warden of the swans yes I liked that part too but another big part of this the uh episode was Tony Blair like as the new prime minister really popular yeah Serbia I mean neither did the queen but I didn't find those jobs to be like so frivolous and they are so rooted in history it's the same as being you know having a job at a museum almost yeah I did think that Tony Blair like had some good ideas for

reformation like you really should you know put out every year how much money of taxpayer dollars you spent, but then how much money you brought in. And I think they actually do do that now. Yeah, and they bring in so much money. They bring in more money than they take. So they're in the green. Right, right. And I do think in the last 20, 25 years, they did downsize the family.

That was Charles' initiative. And they don't show that on the show, but everything used did downsize the family that was Charles initiative and they don't show that on the show but like everything used to be the whole family aunts uncles cousins now it's the nuclear family that was like a Charles decision and they didn't show that no but it's the right call yeah not everyone needs to be like if everyone's so special then nobody's special, you know? Yeah. No, it makes sense. And especially as, like, you know, we go into the future.

But it's cool to see those, like, big portraits Vanderpump Rules style. Vanderpump Rules style? Where they have, like, every person who's ever came into the fold. You're talking about the theme song. Yeah. No, but Vanderpump Rules did the Charles effect too and they cut down to just the OGs. Did you also think it was strange

that they changed the actors for William and Harry? Yeah. Like it was- No time had passed. It was like a week. Yeah. Okay, so then I had to Google. I'm like, wait, wait.

Like I was so confused. Yeah, it was a kind of a weird time. Because those boys, the new actors do not look 12 and 15 no but they needed to make the jump yes but it didn't feel smooth to me especially Harry especially Harry he's that first of all that boy in no world is he 12 and also they're like getting drunk I don't think Harry was getting drunk at 12 I think he was and also they're like getting drunk i don't think harry was getting drunk at 12 i think he was and also the drinking age there is 18 so you have to oh you have to adjust adjust yeah i don't think they would have showed them drinking if they didn't drink at those ages

but the harry jump was such a scare it was a jump scare it just felt especially because when diana passed he was like you know really so young and in those episodes before she dies like he's so attached to her and then he's someone else he doesn't give a fuck yeah no that actor came in guns blazing oh and it's worth mentioning he looks nothing like prince harry did at the time time yeah Prince Harry was like very always cherubic yeah but as the episodes go on I don't know what they did they also like spike his hair in later hair later episodes and the hair is awful it's more Harry so they I think they like it was it was a lot but Willie the the new William looks a lot like William did at the time the hair is perfect. Yeah yeah he's a good new William. I also agree with your analysis yesterday that the show and I don't know if it was a goal the show is extremely complimentary to Prince Charles. I'm seeing him in a whole new light. It's extremely complimentary towards Camilla too like every time they're on

the phone which is all the time she's giving him the best advice yeah like putting the kids first putting the country first she understands her role voice of reason in the show in addition to the queen but like she doesn't step out of line ever she never gives a bad bit of advice but it also makes me I was thinking about this yesterday too because at this point they're still not married and I am sure that at one point they wanted to have children together and the fact that they like were forced to wait so long to get married really you know took that option away from them yeah but that's like not something it's not just like a regular person deciding to have children like that would just just pose so many questions.

I don't even think they could be the answer. And I know that, and I'm not a stepmother, but I believe that being a stepmother is very fulfilling, but I don't feel like she like, because the kids, by the time she actually got married, like the kids were so much older and it was so contentious. Like I don't think of her as a maternal figure to these boys like at all.

No, I don't think she tries to be or claims to be or claims to be or attempts in any way because it's futile and she's like their mother's nemesis yeah and I think today it's all like they have a nice working family relationship but it's not like motherly no I wonder if it's grandmotherly. Like the kids in Camilla? Yeah. Oh my God, I kind of love that. Like if that was like her way of like connecting like through the kids.

I'm sure, I mean, kids bring everyone together. They really do. Yeah. I wonder what it's like now. Yeah. Also, just a random takeaway from The Crown, and this was throughout all different eras, is like how they really, like none of them live live together like they don't even live close yeah like the

fact that Charles yeah the fact that Charles is like in his big old house but then also weirdly there's like one complex where a million cast members live like Diana lived and Margaret lives what's that place called? The Red Building. And by the way, William and Kate currently live there. No, they just moved to Windsor, but they lived there before. They lived there before. Was it Kensington? Yes, yes, yes. Thank you.

Yeah, like it's like an apartment style. Yeah, but no, Diana's house looked real nice. I kind of liked that. Yeah, but she's like neighbors with Margaret and other family members. Oh, just want to say, Queen Margaret, she was more of a main character in early seasons, and now she just pops in every now and then. Everything she says is just brilliant and on the money,

and I just love her. Princess Margaret, yeah. What did I say? Brilliant slip. No, because she's a queen in my eyes. Yeah, she is, but she could never be queen. No, no, no, no, no. No.

Would you rather be a William or a Harry, a Margaret or an Elizabeth? The one who bears the burden or the one who literally has like a life that's meaningless? It's not, it literally does not have to be meaningless and I think it depends. But they always end up seeing it that way. There's no right answer, a blanket right answer. You have to look inward and be like,

what kind of person are you you know I'm a sovereign I'm a sovereign oh you think you're not a Margaret no I couldn't really like live in like someone else's shadow like for real oh that's true but like do you have the constitution no and by the way the one if you're like the spare who ends up getting like a lot of attention like that's bad like when Margaret was all that drama then of course Harry like they never want that you're just supposed to behave that's why sovereign is not meant to be a star when you have a star sovereign you have problems no it's true I think I'm the sovereign of course he would I think I'm the sovereign

but it's not necessarily a good thing. Like Queen Elizabeth isn't boisterous. Fun, yeah. The boisterous Queen Elizabeth, no one ever said, said no one ever. I don't know why you can't be boisterous in your personal life. Do you think she was? You haven't gotten to this conversation yet. And I'm not going to try to explain it because it's going to sound stupid.

But at a certain point, okay, fine. She's talking to her younger self at one point in the show. And Queen Elizabeth is like, you know, I want to see Elizabeth Windsor again and like be that girl again. And, you know, I had to set her aside to be the queen. And her younger self is like, there's no two girls anymore. Like you're just the one Queen Elizabeth. So you can't have be one way in your personal life and another way publicly.

Like it has to be all encompassing. Could you do it? I would, I would usher the monarchy into a new era where like we're all personality hires and we're all funny and we all have podcasts and we're all influencers and we all have phones and we're fun and we're not serious and maybe like everyone in London wouldn't hate us no but that works for a time what goes up must come down it's it's about the consistency of it I don't care and what if you're so fun with your podcast and get canceled the monarchy can't be canceled now

now the royals are interesting they're already. And I'd be bringing in so much revenue for the country. I think as the number two, you'd be amazing. That's just like a really rude thing to say. No, you would be like, because you also, you have that. I wouldn't mind being like a Kate. Yeah. Yeah. Married in.

Married in. Because that means I had like a normal responsibility though and no aside from this no days off yeah but I was able to have like a somewhat normal upbringing out of like I'm still a normal person in my brain like if you're a royal from day one like you're not normal like no it's impossible to be right so I wouldn't mind being a Kate I also would not mind being a Megan right I think that's good an outsider coming in you know yeah a coma right but don't you feel like if you know what the outside world is like and now you have to come into this warped world it's maybe harder than if you don't really know any different okay okay okay we're just conversing no you're just like

that was a question, not a statement. Every corner just like punching me right in the gut. Like, okay, you're right. Like, okay, I'll just shut the fuck up. No, I'm just trying to have a conversation. And what do you think about that? You could say to me, no, I think it's better this way. Okay.

It's called dialogue, turdy. It's our job. Okay job okay how about this i won't become a royal okay but now i won't do it now i think you're denying the world i mean that i the thing is like when you're a royal in your own mind like the queen of your own heart it doesn't really matter it doesn't matter titles schmeidelsmiedels. Exactly. By the way, you do know, and I think we discussed this, that one of the cousins is married to a rugby player who has a podcast. Yes, we have spoken about this because she was at, I forget what the last big affair was, perhaps a coronation, and she kind of stole the show. Yeah, so I just always think like there's podcasters within the family.

It could happen for you, Turdy. It could. Anyways, we'll continue our crown recap when you finish it yeah yeah a few days few days are you ready for our next story other big news from yesterday the coachella 2024 lineup has been announced the headliners are lana del rey tyler the creator and doja Cat, and dot, dot, dot, No Doubt, question mark. Yeah, they're like the after-party headliner, right? They didn't say. It's just at the bottom. Well, they're like at the bottom.

Yeah, I don't think they know in what capacity No Doubt will be performing. They just let you know that they'll be there. I feel really happy and excited for the girlies who love Lana Del Rey because I feel like if you love Lana Del Rey, you get almost no opportunities to live out that fandom. I feel like she never tours. I don't know. She's so mysterious to me.

Yeah, I agree. I think she's a really good get. She's got a great cult following, and it does overlap a lot with the Coachella person. Vibe. Oh, by the way, the Venn diagram of Lana Del Rey fans and Coachella ticket holders is just a circle.

Right. So I think this is smart. Tyler, the creator, also has a lot of fans. He's actually my number one most listened to artist right now. Do you think he's going to sing Harry's favorite song? You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You're a mean one. You really are a ho.

You're as charming as an eel yeah we listen to that all day every day and i i just have to say it could be better i agree so i was introduced to like the new grinch for kids soundtrack while we were all on our family trip because all the kids love Prince and I was like oh this music sucks and your husband was telling me like no it's amazing it was done by Pharrell and I just think like not everything Pharrell does is gonna be amazing you know yeah like they remixed the classic you're a mean one mr. Grinch mr. Grinch oh I just got a notification that King Charles is going to be undergoing a corrective procedure Mr. Grinch Mr. Grinch Oh I just got a Notification

That King Charles Is going to be Undergoing a corrective Procedure No sub I don't know We'll get to that Anyway so

What we're saying They remixed that song Which is such a bop And The remix Like it really Could be so much better It's not great

And it's ripe For greatness Oh my God. Wait, I was checking my people notifications too. Listen, this is a crazy people notification. Did you get this? Ray Drummond has a breaking news. Ray Drummond has breaking news?

A breaking pie recipe. That's what the people notifications. Oh, the nuts. No, this is even crazier. Jennifer Aniston channeled Rachel Green with a wardrobe staple. And you missed that notification? I know. How can you that notification? I know. How can you go on?

I don't know. How can this show go on? Should I add it to the Fast Five? Like, it's kind of... Like, what's the point in even doing this show if I missed such a groundbreaking story? Like, for real, I'm devastated. I have been meaning to turn off my People Magazine notifications

for every one decent update. Do you get the Charles one even? No. So here's what's even more interesting about People Magazine. Oh, they're going to send you for a day about like Amazon vacuums

we found on sale. But oh, let's say literally Queen Elizabeth died they're two hours late. Like with actual breaking news, it's the biggest waste. I need to get rid of it.

I just like can't bring myself to turn it off. Maybe you have like a preference turned on where like you want soft news, not hard news. It definitely feels that I have some sort of preference on. But it's not your preference, you're saying. It's not my preference. And this isn't my plate. No, it never was.

And it never will be. Okay, let's get back to the Coachella headliners. Oh yeah, and then who was the third? Doja Cat. Okay, let's get back to the Coachella headliners. Oh, yeah. And then there was the third. Joja Cat. Joja Cat, which is awesome. No, that's really awesome. So here's the thing.

Each individual performer is actually a really good choice, but I think overall this stinks. Yeah, there's not like a Lady Gaga or a Beyonce. And a lot of people were speculating that Taylor was going to headline Coachella. Like every now and then. Right, they did. Yeah, actually not even every now and then for the last couple of years it has been like the weekend Justin Bieber Billie Eilish the last day has been like a mega mega mega and Doja Cat's amazing like beyond but she's not on that level no she's on her way I think actually her set will be amazing because everybody knows all of her songs they're

all so popular and she's a great performer you don't even realize how many you know like just from the culture it's crazy so the headliners are good but then like when you get into the the smaller text yeah like who was on the second and third lines I know Renee Rapp is on there which is actually very exciting she's on the third line so I'm gonna just read the people that we know from the other lines and so line two of day one, Lil Uzi Vert. Line three, Sabrina Carpenter, Steve Angelo. Yeah. Line four, Suki Waterhouse.

And then the rest of the people we personally don't know. Then the next day, line two, Ice Spice. Oh, that's pretty big. Line two, Beachers, Grimes, Ice Spice. Oh, that's pretty big. Line 2, Beachers, Grimes, John Batiste. Oh, John Batiste. Okay. Grimes.

I wonder if Elon will be there even though they're in a custody battle. I can't keep up with those two, like for real. I know because she was in his book. Like she's with him all the time. They're so simpatico. I didn't even talk about his book. I talked about it more on the Redheads because there's so much pop culture stuff because he like dates everyone the amber heard days were dark in what sense like their relationship was so toxic and he kind of gravitates towards toxic relationships but apparently she did a number on him like when they broke up like

he was not okay for i don't know what i don't know if it was like heartbreak or just trauma trauma but it was not flattering towards Miss Amber Heard and then Grimes kind of comes in and it's his twin flame and they're so sympathetic they have three kids together and she in every step like when he's you know stealing not stealing but like literally he had to like take his like date twitter data servers and they like pulled them up from where they were stored and like move them somewhere else like she's in the car with him sitting on in the back seat with x on her lap like she does everything with him and now they're in a kind of battle it is cute but present day doesn't right congruous with what i read in the book that's sad yeah anyway she's performing at Coachella

and then day, I mean, line three, day two, nothing more that I see that I, that I know. Yeah. It's not like the craziest, most amazing thing. They're really missing that like one big star. I guess so. I guess so. But Bebe Rexha will be there. I love i love her yeah she doesn't have a bad song but i also feel like for coachella like you need really solid music but it's also a lot about the experience too and i feel like people who already bought tickets like they don't really care too much like i i even if taylor was headlining coachella like i don't know if i would go coachella is just not something you either want to go or you don't you know what I mean taking back Sunday will be there on Sunday that's apt they're like you know emo band oh okay then Ben would like them um but yeah I agree it's like Matt J Balvin

was the other one oh I feel like he would be on line one. Yeah. By the way, that would fill the box at the weekend, Billie Eilish. He's on that level. Yeah, well, he's right before Doja Cat on the third day, so that will be a big evening. He's, in my opinion, much bigger than Tyler, the creator. Yeah, in my opinion. And also, of the three headliners we have, I feel as though Lana Del Rey should go last.

But maybe this works best for her schedule. But like if you're going to be a headliner, like the last night is like the big one. That's like what you want. It's true, but it's also Sunday. It's typically Easter Sunday. Maybe she's like a religious girly and doesn't want to perform on Easter Sunday.

When is Easter? We're talking a lot about Easter today. I know. Everyone, are you getting hype for Easter? He is rising. Oh, Easter March 31st. What? In March.

Is that crazy? Kind of. Easter's so April. It is. When's Passover? So April. And then Passover begins on April 22nd, almost a full month later.

Oh. They're usually sisters. Mercury's in retrograde. You guys, things are. Actually, that means we get a holiday in March. That's true, even though like we're not going to take off for Easter. For Good Friday? I don't know, Turdy, it's good. No, I don't think we've ever taken off for Good Friday. That's like cultural appropriation. Sound off in the comments. Would you be offended? Yeah, would you be offended if we put ashes on our forehead and took off the day? Are you offended that you conflated Ash Wednesday with Good Friday?

Oh, shit. I got my days confused. But isn't Ash Wednesday like one day before Good Friday, too? Yeah, I think they're related. They're not unrelated. They're a part of the same holiday. Yeah. God bless. So for everyone going to Coachella,

I hope you have a blast. I hope you listen to awesome music and drink awesome shooters and soak up each other's awesomeness. Agreed. That would actually be a great segue into our next story, which I'm going to-

Is it about Mean Girls? It's about Mean Girls. Okay. Because Lindsay Lohan has pulled down a fetching payday for her mean girls movie musical cameo variety is reporting that she pulled down five hundred thousand dollars for half a day of work in the latest iteration of the movie musical that stars renee rapp andre, and others at all. I also heard that there was a joke in the movie that she was very unhappy with because it was at her expense.

Yeah. I didn't, I saw the headline, but I don't know where, if she said she was unhappy or it's like sources, you know? Speculate, yeah.

Yeah, but I saw that too. I guess she didn't know about it even though she's in the movie. Yeah, but if somebody paid me $500,000, like you could say whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah, but do you get a script if you're just like an extra? I guess you probably do if you want one. Do you get like your script from your scene?

Oh, I'm sure you could request a script for the whole movie, but really who wants that? No, totally. What, you're going to give me homework? No, and it's like she knows the script. Right. She doesn't need to approve the script. I have heard very mixed reviews about Mean Girls. I've only heard good things.

I have heard good things about the character who plays Janice Ian. I heard she kind of steals the show. Same with Damien. I have heard that Katie was miscast. And, of course, Renee Rapp stole the show if you miscast Katie the movie can't be 100% yeah because it's funny

based on like the press and the marketing like you would think that Renee Rapp is the main character of this movie but Regina's actually not no Katie Heron is yeah I haven't heard much

but the little I've heard is that it was really like good and enjoyable nostalgic you know it might not be making any new mean girls fans but for the existing mean girls fans it's it's really enjoyable i'm definitely gonna see it me too because i'm gonna take myself to the to the theater on wednesdays you're wearing pink la oh my god i am that's like so loser-y yeah that's why i didn't do it yeah sure wouldn't be caught dead yeah sure now are you ready for our next story what number is this four yeah i think you're gonna you're gonna like this story because it's about joan oh what did she do now?

Melissa Rivers said that Joan Rivers would have loved Ozempic. She said it's her two least favorite things. She would have loved Ozempic. Melissa said her two favorite things were diet and exercise. Her two least favorite things. Sorry. Oh, my God. That is so funny.

Yeah. So Melissa Rivers is getting candid about her late mom, Joan, who died unexpectedly nearly a decade ago. Rest in peace, our queen. So Melissa, who hosts a celebrity chat show podcast called Melissa Rivers' Group Text, opened up in this week's issue of People about what she wishes she could tell her mom

about the world today, while also joking about things her mom would not be excited about. She said she would not have bought into athleisure and people wearing sweatpants everywhere. She'd be like, no, you still get dressed. You pull yourself together. You put on a little lip gloss and then you go out. She said, but she would have been very excited by body acceptance. That would have actually made her really happy. She also admits her mom would have equally enjoyed the new GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wagovi, and Manjaro. She said, oh, she would have thought Ozempic was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Her two least favorite things were diet and exercise. So if she could find a way to avoid both, awesome. No, the thing is that there are a lot of people reaping the benefits of these types of medications. But nobody is reaping the benefits more than older Jewish women. Yeah. types of medications but nobody is reaping the benefits more than older jewish women yeah who have struggled with their weight like genetically on like a chemical level since they were born why are people now calling it glp1 like they started last week yeah because like there's so many like you can be on manjaro wagovi ozempic semaglutide trizepatide and this is just a way of saying all of them of grouping them because i thought the group was semaglutide no uh manjaro's active ingredient is not semaglutide it's trizepatide look at you elizabeth zot yeah no i know everything there is to know about ozempic

and i actually just recorded a solo podcast episode on the patreon about my journey with ozempic if you're interested in hearing more. But you know another thing that Joan would hate in this day and age? What's going on in Israel? Yeah, no, like the radicalization of Gen Z and becoming lovers of terrorist organizations. If Joan was around, we need Joan. She'd be vomiting. I'm glad that she's not. I know, but I'm glad that she's not alive to see it.

However, a voice like hers is of the utmost necessity in this moment. I agree with both. I would love to hear Joan write like a five-minute stand-up monologue on Americans protesting outside Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital because they accepted a donation from a Jew. Like that is really like what I personally need in this moment. Yeah. But I'm glad she's not around to see it. It's really sickening. One of my favorite facts about myself and actually it's about both of us is that you and I

have been inside Joan Rivers apartment. Yeah. The apartment like everyone knows her apartment. have been inside Joan Rivers' apartment. Yeah. The apartment. Like, everyone knows her apartment. Also, I feel as though a few years ago, we reported that a production company had posthumously bought the rights to, like, hours and hours and hours

of unaired Joan Rivers stand-up, like, recent stuff, and that they were going to be releasing specials and stuff, and albums, and we never got that. Do you remember? I don't remember that. I remember because the production company that had bought it was called Comedy Dynamics.

And they produced my first special. That's why I like made the story about myself. I remember. So why don't you text them and ask? I mean, like I could. But like who wants to bother people, you know? Yeah. It seems like you have the in.

I just. Does anybody else remember that story? I actually don't. I just remember. You really don't? The Joan biopic that's not getting made. What's that? Catherine Han.

Oh, yes. What was that? Because she's not Jewish. I mean, that was a bad casting. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, but I would go for a non-Jewish Joan if it's a good casting. Yeah, yeah. But who would play Joan?

Honestly, the lady from Hacks. Jean. Jean Smart, I think her name is. But what if you want to go younger? Like when she was on that... Oh, yeah. Johnny Carson. Yeah.

Oh, I guess if we're doing like a coming-of-age Joan, then the person doesn't really need to look like... And, you know, I love Joan, but she was somebody who had a lot of reconstructive surgery and I do think that that look could be achieved with prosthetics like the person doesn't need to look that much like her yeah in her later years so they just need to be the best person for the job and for me that doesn't need to be someone Jewish it'd be great if it was but I just want the best movie possible it needs to be somebody who is so naturally funny.

Because yeah, the script is going to be great. But so what was so Joan was like her mannerisms and just like her off the cuff. So who's like an actor or actress who like we know just like in interviews and stuff is funny. Like you need to have that. Yeah. Kind of like maybe like Jennifer Lawrence. Is that crazy? Yeah, no, she's not funny enough

that's not so crazy actually and she's a really good actress and then it would be a good movie and that's I want a good movie yeah I want a movie that feels like a real movie yeah is that so much to ask for it's not are you ready for our fifth and final story no no why our fifth and final story is brought to you by Vegamore is that crazy it's not crazy when you look at our hair real change happens when you're consistent and achieving the hair of your dreams is no exception thanks to Vegamore sticking to our hair routines has never been easier and we are finally seeing the results that we've always wanted so Vegamore products are 100% cruelty free and are never formulated with potentially harmful chemicals like parabens or hormones.

Thank you, La. You're welcome. Our fifth and final story is a little breakup news that at first made me sad, but now that I'm learning more, I hate. Oh, okay. Summerhouse star Sam Feher confirms her breakup with Kory Kiefer. So they got together on last season of Summerhouse. Sam was the new girl on Summerhouse.

Kory was a friend of Craig's. They started flirting and getting along last season. We all saw on the show. And then they started seriously dating, and they were dating for about a year and a half. But now they've broken up. And Sam went on Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast and spilled the beans and explained like literally to a T what went wrong. And I understand.

And I hate. I was like really sad that these two broke up. Like I thought they were so cute together. And I actually really thought that they had potential to like, you know, take it all the way. Yeah, I thought they were so cute together and I actually really thought that they had potential to like you know take it all the way yeah I thought so too but she revealed that she ended their relationship a few days before Christmas after processing his shenanigans on Winterhouse so she said on the podcast quote I'm not even here to talk shit I think he's great I didn't break up with him because I don't love him I broke up with him because he doesn't love me and that's that she later admitted that she would tell him that she loved him but he never said it back over the course of their relationship she said that was

like a really big problem for me i was like i think i need to get out it's becoming clear she explained that he was shocked and floored when she called him before the holidays and dumped him the split came after the two of them who were doing long distance relationship they hadn't communicated for 48 hours after he didn't respond to her test text, asking him to spend new year's Eve with her family. She said, when your long distance boyfriend doesn't communicate with you for 48 hours and there's nothing wrong, then there's something wrong. Like, that's so weird. Why do you want to go 48 hours without talking to me at all? Like, that's so crazy. Yeah, no, it's almost like once she stopped making the effort, like they never spoke. Right. She said he called, she calls him shortly afterwards and he claimed that he accused

her of testing him and timing their texts. She said, that's the kind of gaslighting I don't need in my life. She added that specific moment was the first time she knew she was making the right decision. She said, we were talking and talking and he was like, what are you saying? Are you saying we should break up? And I was like, yeah. Then there was silence. She said that he was really mature about the split and apologized to her.

But the only thing that has continued to bother her is he told her, I wish it was different. And all she could think about is, you don't wish badly enough to treat me right. Like, you can wish all you want, but if you would do anything to change how it was, then you can do the bare minimum. He was like, I can do anything except that.

Also, this is after Winter House has been airing and he was acting unfavorably towards her like saying they weren't official which they I guess she said they were in a situation ship not official official but like he was acting disrespectfully and she saw that all play out and it's so he's a fuck boy like in every in every sense of the word and like we could have guessed that like he just gives off the vibe of like someone who cheats on their girlfriend like which sucks not even cheats but just like he even said in one of his confessionals that they weren't you know serious yet and so he was gonna put like every guy no one wants to be in a relationship so you kind of push it as long as you can until the girl forces you to be in one it's like that's not

how a good relationship works but I feel like what we saw their relationship last season like yeah he was giving kind of like fuck boy vibes but she seemed like the perfect type of girl to because she's so fun like you know that she would just naturally he would want to be always having this fun with her and naturally they would become like an official item which is how it started but I guess you know really a leopard couldn't change his spots no I'm like low-key so excited for the upcoming season of Summer House mostly because of Carl and Lindsay it's like it's actually so crazy yeah and apparently like it's all on camera yeah yeah that's what we've read I think it might have aired the first episode or it's like no the the trailer just came out the yeah no I'm like there would have been more fanfare if the

episode was out. Yeah, yeah. So that will be good. And I guess we'll see Sam and Corey too. I really, really liked them. I really like her just as a reality star in general. I don't have like that much space in my heart left for like more reality stars

because I have my favorites already. But she really wormed her way in. Who's your favorite reality star of all time? It's Fluid because I go through ups and downs with people. You know? It's in. Who's your favorite reality star of all time? It's Fluid. Because I go through ups and downs with people. You know? It's true. It's true.

Karen Huger's up there for me. Like for a long time, it was like Dorit. But right now, I'm not really watching Beverly Hills. Right. But I always love her. But some people just have like bigger moments for me. It's true. That's a good point.

It comes in waves. Yeah. Okay. So those were the past five. You certainly needed to know them. And continuing with our weekly tradition, today is Wednesday, which means Dear Toasters, our weekly advice segment where we will give advice to the girlies in need. Deertoasters at gmail.com is the email you can write into.

We'll always keep your shit anonymous. Do not worry. This is the craziest thing on the planet. Hello, girlies. Longtime listener. I'm in need of some husband advice from two married girlies. I found out that my husband

has a secret Reddit troll account. He will go to threads, go off a la Karen. I saw him comment on a thread that was about someone's love for Steve Irwin and my husband apparently didn't agree with that. I have a severe ick and I don't know what to do. Being a chronic user of Reddit to the point where you have your own account

is a sign of mental illness. It is. And if this were your boyfriend, I would say break up with your boyfriend, but it's your husband. So we need to work on things because there's a lot that has gone into this relationship. And it's so funny. I was literally thinking this morning because I saw something on TikTok about like a Reddit thread. Not about me, about someone else.

And I was thinking like people who really do like create their own usernames on Reddit and like start threads and like start drama and start rumors like are are violent people like it's only a matter of time like this is just step one you know they're they're a danger to themselves and to those around they're a danger to society but I'm being dead serious do you think they could be rehabilitated I think like and I know I sound crazy like I do think like it requires therapy I was going to suggest therapy I also think it's an addiction for a lot of people. Like they go on Reddit just to like, you know, see some gossip. And next thing you know, like they're literally posting people's addresses. Like it is a slippery

slope. And I do think it's an addiction. And I think it's something that you have to like cleanse yourself like a vape. Seriously, like you have to go cold turkey. And I think therapy would help. I actually like I do. I do worry for your safety for real yeah I was gonna suggest therapy I agree that's an addiction I do think you can be rehabilitated you know I'm a believer in change and he needs help this is unacceptable you can't just like live your life and be like a parent who like talk shit on like oh how frightening You're raising children? That's frightening. Oh, how frightening. No, I completely agree. And yeah.

Yeah. I'll pray for you. And I'm glad that you found out about this and realized how crazy it was. Because some people would be like, oh, he's just using a social media app. Reddit is not a social media app. It's honestly like a breeding ground for domestic terrorists for real like you have to get it radicalizes you you have to get off the platform yeah it's it's easy to spiral but i think you can

be pulled back i really do think there's rehabilitation yeah no change is possible so is freedom stay strong stay strong let us know what happens all right this is the one that sounds like you could have written it in maybe like a year ago okay dear jackson claude i'm 30 live in chicago and i'm expecting my first baby i do not have my driver's license i always planned on getting it when i eventually moved to the suburbs my husband's a p-jump totally supports it but recently every time we've seen one of his friends and his wife they like lecture me about not driving and we saw them a few weeks ago and the friend straight up said to me what kind of mom are you you can't drive and you're going to be a stay-at-home mom he said it in front

of a big group of people and it was so humiliating I don't know how to keep defending my choice and now I'm wondering if I should just suck it up and get my license, even though I really don't want it. Sincerely, a soon-to-be mom feeling judged. Okay, I understand why you feel judged. I also understand why it's a crazy concept to be a stay-at-home mom who can't drive, and we need to be able to drive. There are two things going on here. Yeah, like the comment, we'll deal with him.

But you should get your license, especially him, but you should get your license, especially if you're going to move to the suburbs and have a child. Like you need to know how to drive for, even if you don't want to drive every day, like for emergency situations, you need to know how to drive at least until Elon fully completes automated driving, which he's working on vigorously. So according to Walter Isaacs,

still, you need to have your license in order to get in the front seat of a self-driving car so you need to get your license even though I know it's you don't want to do it I didn't want to do it and I still I don't love the driving like I dread it and I hope one day it gets better but it's been a year well I guess I took six months off so it's been six months and I still like it's not my favorite but when it's good it's great so you need to learn how to drive. him he can rock yeah I think we should take a moment and just be grateful that like you know you're not married to this man you know but like it was actually it sounds really rude and I actually think you

should say something I am the type of person to like really like slip things under the rug like I'm I'm nothing ever bothers me enough to the point where I would ever say something like I'm so under the rug. Like I'm, I'm nothing ever bothers me enough to the point where I would ever say something like I'm so averse to confrontation, but this is like a particularly disgusting thing. And I feel like you should make him apologize. Nothing makes men more uncomfortable than like having to apologize to a

girl. So I think like you should have your husband say like, you owe my wife an apology. I think you should. I like brush things under the rug. And one of two things happens. I genuinely forget about it and move on. Beautiful.

Or I never forget. And and move on beautiful or I never forget and every time I look at your face I see that comment and it will affect how I treat you for the rest of your days and doesn't love isn't that terrible for you love no but like I think you should say something like I really do what kind of mom are you what kind of mom are you? What kind of animal are you? Yeah, no, but how do you even like defend yourself against an allegation such as that? It's beneath you. I know, but like I just really don't like

letting people get away with being animals, you know? Yeah. Like let's hold them accountable. I don't know if it's possible. So are you just like expanding like mental energy on a lost cause? And maybe it's best if he doesn't get invited to your round table anymore. Okay, so that's actually my signature move. And Ben hates it.

If somebody does something to me that like I dislike, I won't work it out with them. I will never see that person again. Unless it's like a lifelong friend. But if it's like a new acquaintance who I was like starting to like whatever this like if you just say something weird or like do something I'm like it's not worth I barely know you know it's more than weird it's offensive offensive a betrayal I just will slowly walk backwards and you'll never see me again yeah it's the charity special Ben hates it Ben is like just talk it out talk it out what am I gonna talk it out for yeah there's nothing safe we're saving here we were on our way we were building something yeah but abandon ship

there's just it's that's the same talk it out let her know how you feel. Yeah. I'm like, no, no, no. Literally no. And you know what? Like we're good. It's working for us. We're good. I feel like I really do. Like I'm not in a position where like I need more people in my life.

Like if I never, if my circle never got bigger, like I would have a very, very full group of friends and family around me. So anyone at this point who's coming into my life, it's just an addition. You know, it's just extra sprinkles on top. It's not a necessity. So if you're like new here and you're already like starting stuff, like you're not worth the effort.

Yeah. All right. This is the third and final Dear Toasters that made me laugh so fucking hard. Is this the one written by Turdy? No, I X that one because I like the other two better and this one I had to put in. Hey guys, absolutely love you. You are so funny. I'm in high school and you make

me laugh every day. Anyway, You just put it in to let people know we have a listener in high school. I swear to God, Jackie. She wrote that I'm in high school. No, I'm saying like we needed to do this one so that our listeners could know like we are in with the high schoolers. We are hip and we are young.

Anyways, at Christmas time, I saw my whole family. My aunt accused me of stealing her phone and changing her bitmoji to have short hair. I didn't, by the way. I am baffled that she would accuse me of this. I have heard through the grapevine that she's currently planning a revenge on me. What should I do to her for making this gross accusation? Now, there is nothing worse than being accused of something you didn't do, especially something as egregious as changing a bitmoji.

Because when it comes, like, there are a lot of people who like bitmojis, but bitmojis were really created for elder aunts. Yeah. The only people I know who currently use Bitmojis are our aunts. It's just a fact of life. And Dana Holzberg. Oh, love. Because it's integrated with Snapchat.

So if your aunt, like, thinks that you actually did this, like, I would understand why she would be upset. Like, this is an egregious crime to an aunt. But at the end of the day, the truth is what matters most. And you're saying that you didn't do it. And I believe you. The truth will set you free. So we just have to get her to see the truth. Maybe there was an update.

I feel like sometimes that happens where bitmoji updates its look. Yeah. And people's bitmojis change. You should find an article, check out tech crunch. Maybe bitmoji had an update. Yeah. But also like,

it's not on you to prove your innocence like you didn't do anything you know what I mean right your aunt just kind of being libelous like it's kind of disgusting that's how I felt about the guy with the driving comment like it's not on you to prove that you're a good like you shouldn't have to prove your innocence I feel as though the situations are different but I hear what you're saying but I actually feel like in this situation, like, you could prove your innocence. Whereas in that situation, it's, like, it's not on you to do that. But here, like, you could prove it somehow. Find a way.

Yeah. But if she's planning revenge on you. Have her keystrokes. If she's planning revenge on you, like, you're about to find yourself in, like, a full-blown prank war. And you have to be prepared because those sometimes can end badly yeah somebody takes it too far yeah what do you think is like a good harmless prank I'm not actually I weirdly as much as I say I don't like prank tacos at trout's I love a prank like that like a a prank of the mind yeah yeah like to tell you something completely untrue.

Just be like, kidding. Yeah, no, that's not a prank so much as it is just a lie. Yeah, but I don't like think of it in advance. It's like if you ask me, it's on the spot messing with people. Literally, one of my greatest lie pranks of all time. Just so off the cuff. When I told Ben I sat next to Rory McIlroy on my flight home from Scottsdale. Right.

Or that guy with the phone number, Luke Combs. The scuffle player? Julius Randall. Yeah. Yeah. What did Luke Combs have to do with it? That I said, Ben was like talking about Julius Randall. I was like, oh my God, like I literally know Julius Randall.

I have his phone number. Ben's like, no, you don't. I said, yes, I swear to God, I met him backstage. He's a big Luke Combs fan. Yeah. That's my favorite kind of prank. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me try and think of other funny ones we've done.

Oh, wait. I feel like we just did one on our family trip. Yeah. We were trying. To Ben. To Ben. What was it? I forget.

He didn't believe it, though. He didn't fall for it. He's getting better. When we first met him, he was such an I forget. He didn't believe it, though. He didn't fall for it. He's getting better. When we first met him, he was such an easy target. Yeah. Oh, it was good. Those were the days. But it didn't take whatever this one was.

Not even worth remembering. Anyway, so those are the things. All's that to say, our advice to you, girlfriend, is to keep your head up high. Don't let anyone, like, talk on your name, especially if it's not true. So stand up for yourself. Tell your bitch ass of an aunt that it wasn't fucking you and she better back off or you're going to put Nair in her shampoo bottle.

No, you're not. Saran wrap on her toilet seat. No, see, these are pranks I hate. Now I hate pranks. Now I hate them. Like girls, like this wasn't a prank. This was more like bullying like girls at camp

who would pee in like other girls shampoo bottles yeah that's like good on the watch list and like putting their toothbrush in the toilet disgusting

like dipping it in the water that's disgusting yeah those girls are on Reddit now those girls are on Reddit now. But I didn't know anyone who I ever, like that stuff was kind of stuff of fable.

You know, people didn't actually do stuff like that. Oh, are you talking about like the peeing in the? Yeah. Yeah. It's like stuff you saw in movies. Cause like you get kicked out of camp for something. That's not like a harmless prank. Yeah, no, you heard like, oh my God,

did you hear about the girl at Moden who like, you would hear like a rumor but you would never like know that it's actually true. Yeah, that was like mythical camp pranks. Yeah, that's true. No one actually did stuff like that

in my experience. Yeah, I don't know any firsthand like experiences of people who did that. Yeah. Or who were victims of that. Yeah. So that's our show.
