Good morning, Millennials! And that's not pre-recorded because we are together. That's right. Happy Thursday. Jax is back. We're in New York. We're podcasting together. My least favorite thing.

We are celebrating Toasterversary here in New York. I also don't think people knew that GMM is pre-recorded on remote days. I feel like that was kind of inside secret. It was a part of the transition. No, I think the real toasters know that the good morning millennials most mornings is pre-recorded well now you do now the secret's out okay we're not as authentic as we pretend to be we're not genuine podcasters we are liars we are fakes and we are also models because something about podcasting in person like it's just different like we both whipped out like I'm wearing a heel you're wearing a heel we're both wearing stockings like we literally are going to synagogue we both look so gorgeous

and it has a lot to do with we have a big day right we do want to look beautiful for each other in person you know when we're podcasting together but Jackie and I are also like booked you know different press interviews um meetings and things of that nature yeah which you guys wouldn't understand which is cause for the seam laugh for me. Also when we're in studio like this it's a different angle so you can wear different things. Like I can't wear a skirt in my home setup. I mean it's not the morning vagina. Literally. But here at an angle it's lovely. And I am wearing pantyhose. I am wearing if you're not watching video tights that are nude. Congrats. That's amazing.

Like you're wearing tights that are black, which people do all the time. And you can see it. To wear pantyhose stockings. It's definitely like an elderly thing to do. But the elders were onto something. And that's what they say about the elders, that they're wise. The old ladies have been wearing nude. Like they invest.

Not like shit from Duane Reade. Like they invest in like the Donna Karen, the Calvin Klein, excuse me. And a nice nude stocking can change the world. Yeah. These are Calvin Klein. I didn't have to shave my legs. I didn't have to moisturize my legs. Spray tan.

I didn't have to tan my legs. Which we are doing tomorrow. I haven't gotten a spray tan in so many weeks. And sort of the buzz of the spray tan upcoming, it's giving me sort of like a new direction, if you know, as Will Schuster would say. A new lease on life. A new lease on life. A sort of je ne sais quoi. These tights are giving me a new lease on life. You're giving me a new lease on life because you're here. I know. It's so exciting. We have such a fabulous week planned. Of course, we're going to be podcasting today and tomorrow in person, which

is, you know, fun for some, not for others. It's just two days, Chloe. We'll make it. We'll make it. We'll make it. And, you know, we're having dinner with the girlies tonight. Yeah. We've got our toastiversary this weekend. Liv is coming to town. We're having Shabbat dinner. We're booked and busy. We are booked, busy.

We're getting spray tans. What more could a couple of swirlies ask for? Not much. I'm getting Botox, you guys, which is really the reason why I'm here. We planned toastiversary, so I had a reason to come to New York to get myself some Botox.

So tomorrow, she will be... No, I think it's today, right? I know, but by tomorrow, you'll be looking at a teenager. This will be a Gen Z podcast. And when you're back on the show on Monday, like back in your house, you won't recognize the girl who was last sitting in that chair. She'll be tan. She'll be properly celebrated.

She will have a face that doesn't move. Yeah. And she'll be back in her sweatpants. I love a face that doesn't move. Yeah. And she'll be back in her sweatpants. I love a face that doesn't move. That'll be me soon. I'm so excited. I kind of like forgot about it. No, Jax.

Everything's coming up, Jax. Everything's coming up. Everything's coming up toast. Everything's coming up toast. Because everything's always coming up turdy. That's so not true, but thank you. I know, but I just couldn't pay myself a compliment. I know.

What are you like? Come on. It's okay. It can be about you. I know, but I just couldn't pay myself a compliment. I know. What are you, like, come on. It's okay. It can be about you. No, but that's not. Momentarily. I honestly am uncomfortable when it's about me. That's what people don't get.

I feel that about me. Like, when I get attention, I feel really uncomfortable. No, I, not to be, like, I don't like it. But, like, seriously, in that moment, I couldn't stand on my own under the spotlight. You're giving not like other girls energy. Like, I'm not, I don't like attention. I'm not like other girls. No, I know.

I prefer to hang out with guys and we drink beer okay okay you just reminded me of something two things we have to say one I have to correct something I said on yesterday's show the basketball player who has the same name as Joaquin Phoenix his name is literally not Joaquin Phoenix it's Joaquin Noah like the name is literally... Not Joaquin Phoenix. It's Joaquin Noah. Like, the two people couldn't be more different. So just disregard that. Just forget that. Forget what you heard. And two, oh my god, wait. I know everyone's over me talking about Reba, but I have to say something. Me and Ben are, of course, watching Reba. And like, the way... Since it's an old show, Hulu doesn't have the option to skip the intro. Like, you have to watch

it. And the way the song is so ingrained in us we know every word but we also know like every background vocal and every beat and it opens up my roots are planted in the past but before that Reba says like hey that just triggered memory and Ben like every night like five times Ben not even when the show is on, he'll be like, he'll walk in and be like, I'm going to take Romeo out. Hey! And it's become like one of my favorite. Hey! If I see you in the street, just.

Just know. Hey! Beautiful. Add it to the list, you know? Add it to the list. I realize like when I say something and you don't have anything to add, but you don't want to be rude, you always say beautiful. Oh, no. That's like when I say something and you don't have anything to add but you don't want to be rude you always say beautiful. Oh no that's just what I'm saying like right now. Other times in the past totally. Yeah no you're in your beautiful era. Which I think is a nice era to be

in. I agree. I agree. And let's see what you say. The eyes go up. Oh when you say something I'm not interested in I said that's amazing. This is what you say. What? Speaking of that. Yeah, I definitely use it as a platform, as a segue. You say, I'm so glad you brought that up. Because I've been dying to share. Because I've been dying to bring it back to myself. Yeah, no, it's true. It's true. And actually, I'm so glad you brought that up.

Because I actually did want to say that today, Romeo is going to the trainer. Because, you know, we have a busy weekend. And then I'm headed to Israel. So, like, I don't really have time for him. and I just feel like I can be really honest on the podcast like I'm so excited for him to be leaving like it's really there are no words I love him I do not as much as Theo like not even close I love love love love him he is such a pain in the ass like first of all like take more shits in my house like this morning like another dump it like yesterday like dump dump dump dump dump and bite me more like scratch up my legs more it's like

I'm showing leg this weekend in my toastiversary dress I need to shave my legs get a spray tan I'm gonna have cuts all over my legs it's gonna burn bite me more scratch me more like seriously he can't get out of my house okay yeah by the way I wish you guys could hear like when I when I try to tell him to stop sometimes I get like annoyed I hear like when I when I try to tell him to stop sometimes I get like annoyed I'm like today I'm like that's what we're not gonna do we're not gonna hurt mommy like I was being crazy we can imagine yeah so I think it's best for both of us if he heads over to dog friendly living who like it's been waiting for him to arrive with beta breath she doesn't know she doesn't know what's about to show up on her doorstep well I feel I

appreciate the transparency because I feel like a lot of times influencers like might be having trouble. Yeah. I know. By the way, that's putting it mildly. We are having trouble. And so then they just like go dark and everyone's like, where's the dog? No, no.

We are struggling. I'm not going to give up the dog though. That's what the influencers do. They give up their dogs. I'm not like, I know we'll get, and I imagine it was like this with Theo. I remember a couple of really dark days with Theo. And like literally like regretting the decision. So don't worry.

I'm not giving Romeo up. But I am just sort of. It takes a village. You know? Yeah. And Ben and I. Romeo is on the schedule now where he exists in three hour time blocks. He gets one hour free time.

Two hour nap in the crate. Then we take him out. One hour free time. He's literally a newborn. He's a newborn. And that one hour of free time like it's hell like it's absolute hell and ben and i are just like looking at each other and like we keep offloading romeo we're like no i have to go take a meeting like i've been so busy this

week because i just i cannot go home and it's like we count the minutes at like 58 bins like do you think i can put him in i'm like yeah you can put him in that's funny is that like newborn life yes except there's not as much dread and there's more love like of the awake time I'm not gonna lie like the love is it's definitely um it's taking its time love grows love goes and there's love there like I love him but like the way I can't even have a nice moment with him like we never have like cuddles we have no like licks like he just bites me damn he wants a bite of turdy everyone wants a piece of turdy I cannot wait for him to leave like like this weekend like it's turdy's weekend you know everything's coming up turdy as I said as I tried to tell you yeah well we have a really great show because the stories are hysterical.

The stories are hysterical. We have Dear Toasters because we weren't able to do it yesterday. And I know you're just like. Dying to. You flew to New York. Yeah. For that. So that's amazing.

And yeah. Is that it? And Jackson and Claude back together. And how was your travel day? I'm so sorry. Busy? It was good. It was not the easiest one.

But not unreasonably hard. Just like naps didn't coincide with times in which we'd like to be napping. Of course, things in which to nap. Yeah, so it was a lot, but we made it and all good. Okay, good. Yeah. Well. Without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you must know.

An honor. Our first story is a bit of breaking news that you actually haven't heard yet. Okay, so I saw you being like weird on your phone. What is it? Is it going to shock me? Yeah. OJ Simpson has died at the age of 76 after a cancer battle. So they just posted to his Twitter on April 10th,

our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asked that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. I'm finding it really hard to come up with something to say because you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but like. Yeah, it's hard to find something to say. You know, I'll say this. I feel like the Kardashians talk about his kids a lot, you know, I'll say this. I feel like the Kardashians talk about his kids a lot, you know? So,

it's hard to lose a parent. I literally, I'm sorry, like, I don't know what the fuck to say. Like, low key, murderer,

not once but twice, justice for Ron Goldman and Nicole Renzim's in. And like, it's just, I don't know where he is right now. I really, I can't,

like, I'm sorry, I can't talk about this. I, I feel like this story, like, I can't. It's a, it's a trap. No, what are you doing? It's a trap. Like, what am I supposed to I can't. Like, I'm sorry. I can't talk about this. I feel like this story, like, I can't.

It's a trap. No, what are you doing? It's a trap. Like, what am I supposed to say? Yeah. Am I, like, devastated? No. It's shocking, though. The man, like, literally killed two innocents.

And didn't ever really do the time for the crime. No, no, of course not. Because if the blood did not fit, they must have quit. Exactly. And, like, no, and I feel like my takeaway from that whole show that they did was like, one, he totally did it. And two, like, I feel we're always talking about Nicole Brown Simpson, Nicole Brown. But like, what about Ron Goldman?

Like the lovely, delicious Jewish waiter who was just being a mensch returning that lady's sunglasses. Like, it's so upsetting. I really don't want to talk about it. Like, so I guess what I have to say to OJ is deuces. You know what I have to say? Rip. This is a time you can say rip.

OJ. Lowercase r. Rip. Ripage. Ripage. Ripage. Ripage, Simpson. Ripage.

So yeah, that's the big news of the day now. I don't know how to feel so I I just won't I feel surprised yes no I kind of I'm not gonna lie I feel like happy like I was able to get breaking news like on the show that never happens that's like always fun yeah I didn't realize that he had been that he had cancer I don't think that that was I think I knew that but I don't know why I like thought he was lying yeah or. Or going to be okay. Reposh. Reposh.

That's all there is to say. Yeah. I feel like it's really the end of an era. It is. Like the jokes and stuff. And like the TV show. No just like this. There was never like closure with this case. Because you know if OJ didn't do it.

Then there's murderers still out there. No no. And that was what was so crazy. Like people would take pictures of him. Like oh my god. I was on the golf course i saw oj simpson like he was like out and about he wasn't like a hermit no but say he didn't do it then like why didn't they ever continue to look for the person who did because he did it right like he did that shit you know yeah so there's not been any closure but this really is the end of this story yeah no it's it's actually really

crazy yeah are you ready for our next story I like I'm very ready eager I would say um the Jonas brothers have found themselves in some hot water they're being called out by fans after they rescheduled 22 tour dates at short notice to make room for exciting projects. So the Jonas Brothers put out a video saying that they will be postponing some of their international tour dates because they have exciting projects coming up. They explained that they had to reschedule every single European date due to other exciting projects taking precedence. In the clip, Nick said we had shifted the European dates to later this year, but that is only because we have some exciting projects that we're very excited to share with you at a later point

European fans we love you we can't wait to see you it's been long overdue and we're gonna wait even longer and we are so excited to play these shows later this year in the fall okay I have a theory I feel like and because Nick was the one like talking in the video I feel like they just wanted to take the attention off of Joe I feel like because it was like a lot of um international sometimes it's so hard for me to talk with his custody stuff with Sophie Turner there was a lot like of their permanent residence was in England and I feel like if he spends a certain amount of time out of the country it can be like used against him in his custody I actually feel like that's what's going on. Interesting. I don't. I feel like something came up. I kind of feel like with a tour it's very exciting at first and like headline

news and then it gets a little long in the tooth. And the further away from home you get. It's like this isn't that fun anymore. I think something came up that was more exciting to them than the idea of doing the second half of the tour and maybe by the time the European date reschedule dates happen they'll be ready again but what project could one of them all three of them like a movie another album it would have to be something big and even if it is like a Joe custody thing they need to now make something up. Like a reality show or a documentary. And the thing is, is like people are allowed to postpone shows. And I feel like if they had said, you know,

if they're covering up for something, saying you're doing it for another more exciting, like basically putting an opportunity ahead of like the fans who paid money, like it does look a little bad. Like, but whatever, if this is a coverup for something, you would say like,

you know, people cancel tours and don't get backlash for like other reasons like and I feel like if it was a mental health I would feel like if it was a woman I'd be like oh maybe she's pregnant like I don't know I just feel like I hope this actually is a lie because the truth is like kind of fucked up I feel like it could be a vague interpretation of the truth and they never expected that announcing it like this would get backlash and people would see it that way. Like, I feel like they were like, let's keep it light, exciting project,

see you later this year. Because really, who looks into these things? And if I just saw that, I wouldn't be like, that's messed up. But I think it was kind of like unignorable because 22 shows, it's not like a small leg. 22 is like a shit ton and they're doing stadiums or arenas. So that's like 22 times, that's like 400,000 people

you know yeah I just like when you think about who they're harming like really the people who will be affected by this it's like oh we're not going to the Jonas Brothers next week we're going in six months okay like yeah victimless yeah it's a victimless crime for sure for sure the babysitter wasn't called yet well if people had planned travel you know it's very unfortunate but these things happen inconvenient but if I held tickets to a show that was then moved even if it was maybe something I was traveling for like I'd be very inconvenienced but first of all like I can move my flight I'm still with well within the window yeah I mean that happened with us with Kelly that happened to us with Kelly but like say I was traveling for Luke and I picked this date and this show and Luke

moved it. It would be okay. Okay. I'm going to call you out. Like, you're an affluent person, you know? No, but the flight is changeable. Yeah. But like.

The hotel is changeable. You're enough in advance. Those are the two things. And I guess if you're like spending money on a hotel and a flight for a concert, like you have disposable income. Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's not, like you have disposable income. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's not the biggest deal is my feeling.

Yeah. And I don't feel like they'd be doing this for nothing. They're three fathers. I need to know. I need to know. They're three fathers. They're going through stuff. I need to know.

I still like my theory about it being a cover up for a custody thing. I like that theory too. And I could see that them being like, let's just keep it positive. Exciting things coming. You know maybe they're going back on The Voice. No but like that does not. No I know but they can say that was the exciting thing. But that's the thing about being like a Jonas brother. Like to go on The Voice you probably make for that one show which is like not a lot of work and a lot of fun. I bet Nick Jonas because I know like Ariana Grande got 25 million million for one season. Nick Jonas probably got $10 or $15.

You don't make that on tour, especially when you're splitting it between the three of you. Oh, yeah. So. Do you think that's where some of the Jonas Brothers animosity comes in? I mean, I feel that way about you. We actually talked about this on the Patreon. Because people were like. People were asking us like how we split our revenue and stuff.

And we're like, we're totally equal partners. Yeah. And then I said to Jackie, do you ever like dream of like what i'm sleeping in your in your house like coming in and just like knifing me in the throat so you can keep all the money and jackie had a really good if you want to hear my answer head to the patreon yeah and i think i made you see it in a different light you did now you no longer want to stab me in my sleep exactly you really gave me such a fresh perspective and a very but i feel like with the jonas brothers they don't feel that way about each other because they all think that it's about that like they all they think the show could

go on and they do solo all the time because basically now I have to say what I said is that yeah I could stab Claudia but I wouldn't make as much money on my own right and I could stab Jackie but then it would be a one-woman show and it probably wouldn't generate as much revenue so like yeah we have to split it but it's more because we're together yeah yeah no that's so factual so I was like you know what okay I won't stab you but I don't think the Jonas Brothers feel that way like Nick definitely feels like I could do this with the other two without the other two I know and you know Joe was like they both were really killing it DNCE and then the solo like but DNCE even though it's probably not split equally he had to share yeah it's true no they were like sharing his care they

were hired help like they he made he kept everything like you think yeah they were like... Sharing his care. They were hired help. Like, they... He made... He kept everything. Like... Everything. Yeah. They were just paid salary. They were salary. Yeah, like how Tom Sandoval has his band members. They didn't have equity.

They were the most extras and he was Tom Sandoval. Do you know what I mean? He is Tom Sandoval. He is. I think we made that call. Did we? Yeah.

That Joe Jonas has Tom Sandoval energy? And Tom Sandoval has Joe Jonas energy. Do you mean just in how they perform or their personalities as well? Because that's an enormous

insult to sling at Joe Jonas. It's a Joe Jonas. Oh, so she said what she said. It's not in how, I mean, obviously Joe Jonas is so talented. But there's something about the way that they look, the way that they, their mannerisms. I think a lot of it has to do with their stage presence. Like, I feel like Tom Sandoval probably studied. I feel like Luke watches videos of Joe.

And it's like, it's unfortunate for Joe that now they're compared. Yeah. They kind of look alike too. Yeah. They do not look alike. They're both like brunette men. Right. With strong eyebrows.

Yeah. No, it's true. So hopefully we find out what exciting news is going on in the world of the Jonas Brothers. No, and I look forward to the day where I find out what this big project was and I can evaluate like if it was worth it. Right now we're just kind of punching in the dark but once I have all the facts and I feel like it might come that we never find out what it was and it was just like a diversion and they hope people in six months will forget about it. I won't forget and I'm very much looking forward to you know circling back on this. Yeah. I'll be following up by EOD. But it's something because to move 22 shows. It's

big. It's not a small thing. Yeah. Just from an admin point of view not even the fans. Or or they were and I don't feel this way because I actually think the Jonas Brothers have a lot of really big fans or they were selling poorly and I feel like sometimes what people do is like postpone shows just to cancel them but like it's not such a big deal if you're canceling a show that's in a year but if you're canceling a show that's in three months it's like a bigger deal got it so maybe but I feel like they have a really strong fan base and I think they have really strong ticket sales and I would hope that whoever's like digging into this announcement would have brought that up if that were true yeah so TBD on the JBs I I love concert like this is a giving JLo you know I love mystery. Like this is a giving J-Lo, you know. I love mystery.

Like what's going on. Yeah. I love it. Our next story. A little movie news. A Monopoly movie is in the works from Margot Robbie and Lionsgate. After taking on Barbie, producer Margot Robbie is heading to the rich terrain of Monopoly. Her company Lucky Chap and her partners, her husband and Josie McNamara, are producing a live action feature film based on the ubiquitous real estate-inspired board game. Hasbro, the backers

of Monopoly, will also produce it, and Lionsgate has extended its development rights to the board game with the purchase of E1. And I saw the funniest tweet about this. This news took the world by storm yesterday. Everyone was like, oh, Barbie, Monopoly. Somebody said, and the username is MovieBoy69, he said said if this movie is going to be a message about wealth inequality I'm going to kill myself in the theater no because like with Barbie you never thought it would become this like sort of political and kind of polarizing movie um because it's just about dolls and I remember when we said the story I'm like oh cute but like how and I feel that way about Monopoly I'm like oh cute but how yeah um

and you know what I could actually now that I've seen Barbie I actually think Monopoly will be good oh will be good or will become about wealth inequality because literally the point of the game like you don't win until you have it all most money it's very capitalist everyone has to have zero yeah yeah and like there are different neighborhoods on the board you know that are Mediterranean 60 dollars and by the time you get to Atlantic Avenue it's four or five hundred dollars yeah the one right after go what the Mediterranean the purple purple right yeah Mediterranean what I'm remembering a joke from that funny time we played Monopoly did we talk about that funny time we played Monopoly on this show?

One of my most fun. They should make a movie based on that. Live action. Literally, I'll direct it. Yeah, because I was like going to reference something that's not on the board. That was a joke that I made. Well, you were the banker and you were fraudulent. You were stealing from the bank.

I was building hotels on Mediterranean Avenue and I called them a holiday inn. Yeah, that's the thing. Like when you were building property on the Purple, it them a holiday inn. Yeah that's the thing like when you were building property on the purple it was a holiday inn and you were building property on the blue. On boardwalk it's four seasons. It's outrageous yeah no totally. Yeah. So funny. Oh by the way that literally you just added more color to that game of Monopoly because I don't remember like everything that was said I just remember you kept calling yourself like impoverished and stealing from the bank and it was so funny and I need to remember the joke that you made about building holiday inns that's funny yeah but that's where the real money is made it's true by the way like because everybody has to come past go and it's kind of like how

everybody has to go to the airport and at one point everyone's gonna stay at like a Best Western yeah no it's brilliant brilliant like the four seasons aren't they closed sort of it's true they're kind of like flop in their flop era. Constantly under renovation. The Waldorf. Yeah. Never reopened. We need to talk about what's going on with the Waldorf.

It's kind of like a conspiracy theory in New York. If you don't know, the Waldorf Astoria takes up a full city block in Manhattan in like Midtown. I think it's 48th. And it takes a park and Lex. Like a huge avenue. And for years it was like, you know, every president stayed there. It's at the center of sort of like banking and all those headquarters. And it's really fabulous, really gorgeous, gorgeous room. Ben and I did a staycation there for like one of

our big anniversaries. And it was like the most special. The spa's amazing, restaurants. And then a couple of years ago, they're like, we are shutting down for one whole year and we're going to come back as the biggest and baddest hotel you've ever seen in your life like you thought we were sick now shutting down for renovations which like when you have such a big hotel like you have a whole year and everybody in the city was preparing people were like going there for special occasions anniversaries everyone was getting married they're like it was really really special and they were like we're gonna come back and it was very historic and had been around for so long that

like really it was it was a big deal that they were like, we're going to come back. And it was very historic. And it had been around for so long that like really it was, it was a big deal that they were closing down. When I tell you they closed down for a year, it's giving one direction. 10 years ago. It's been 10 years. And now people say it's haunted. Like it's just this.

It's all boarded up. It's this empty, enormous hotel. What is going on? What is going on? And it's not like the Waldorf brand is defunct. Like they're operating hundreds like they're no they just opened a huge one in la hundreds of hotels around the world they're owned by hilton so what is going on there i know we need answers and honestly i feel like it was one of those hotels and i don't

have any proof of this but i'm reading um marjorie post and it's the early 1900s that she's living in new york and it's cool to see what like stores and hotels she references that are still open today Bloomingdale's Bergdorf's and the plaza the plaza and I feel like the Waldorf was open then I don't know for a fact it was open then because what book did I read the social graces it was, like, two hotels separate. The Waldorf and the Astoria. Oh. And they were actually related to each other. One was, like, the nephew of the other. Like, the Astors.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And someone named, like, Waldorf. And then they merged, and then they moved there. Interesting. And also Mar-a-Lago. That's, like, what the whole book is about. Oh, my God. Yeah, Mar-a-Lago.

It's crazy to think that that's, like, what a country club, right? And that was her house. Yeah. She's so rich. I forgot about that point. The whole book is really kind of centered around her building Mar-a-Lago. And the beginning starts at Mar-a-Lago. And I feel like I'm like 60, 70% in.

And it becomes like after one of her divorces like a sanctuary for her. And it's so crazy to think about like people get married there now. And like it's literally like a facility that can hold thousands of people one bitch's house yeah legend you know she tried to donate it to who to the government as a winter is that part of the book not real like it's not a spoiler maybe don't spoil it no it's just a fun fact so let me share the fun fact okay she tried to donate it like to the president so that it could be their winter residence like a white house oh you know you know what i feel like you've told me this before. Yeah, and they actually, it was too expensive for them to upkeep,

so they declined. She was so rich. They declined. She was so rich. Yeah. Okay, I just got to the part where she moved to Russia. Dark days. Dark days, but really interesting.

Yes. If you like Russian history. Interesting to hear about somebody who like actually lived in communist Russia and like came back to tell the tale. I feel like once you go to communist Russia, you don't come back. Did she go to the warehouse yet? No, she literally was invited. When I was last night reading, she was invited to the warehouse.

She did her first outing with that lady, and now they're going to the warehouse. Okay, the warehouse is sickening the house down boots. Okay. Okay, so Monopoly movie. Oh, right. Yay or nay? I feel like after seeing what I saw with Barbie, and I know, like, we joke, but, like, at the end, like, I totally, net, net, like, didn't dislike it. I actually liked it.

I thought it was, like, cute and well done. I feel like Monopoly could actually be, like, funny and creative. Yeah. I'm not against it. I'm not against it. It wouldn't be my first idea. No. But we also heard about Hot Wheels, remember?

Oh, yeah. All these movies are going to be made from like Mattel and Hasbro. And I'm kind of good on that. Like I'm sure they'll wind up being good and I'll get into it. But what about original ideas? What if we just thought of original ideas? You know, I thought of that yesterday because I saw like Max was announcing their new show, Pretty Little Liars, Summer Vacation.

And I'm like, my God, how dead are we going to be at this horse? Why is it so hard for streaming services to come up with original concepts? How many spinoffs do we have to have? It's insane. It's insane. Spinoffs, reboots. And just like that, reunions. It's so uninspired.

Agreed. Are you ready for our next story? A little more gaming news. And some of like the most popular things right now like are from books. Like they're not even original themselves. Yeah. Sorry. Yes I'm ready for some more gaming news.

Scrabble. Oh. Mattel has launched a new version of Scrabble which is going to be less competitive. And less hard basically. Yeah. Mattel is about to launch a new version of Scrabble which is designed to be more collaborative and accessible for those who find word games intimidating it's an attempt to get Gen Z to play Scrabble and basically every Scrabble you're dumb every Scrabble board that's sold now is going

to have Scrabble on top and then you flip it over and it's like the dumb version for Gen Z apparently Gen Z like hasn't been taking to Scrabble and it's like the least shocking thing ever they're radical they're for sure but like were you playing Scrabble when you were 17? No. I was playing Monograms a lot. It's something that I think you grow into. Yeah. And I think lowering the bar is a sad state. So I think it's emblematic and reflective of our you know it's a current state of the union. These kids are dumb and you know they're all on their phones and they're all bullying each other and they're all mentally ill. And I think it all stems from the phone. And just actually follow, I just, I follow Jessica Seinfeld on Instagram. This is like one of her like platforms. She's really, really against like social media and cell phones for kids. And she's like working on passing, you know, all these laws that kids

shouldn't be able to be on social media before they're 16. And, you know, they just passed that in Florida. You can't have social media if you're under 14 and then 15 and 16 you need a guardian permission honestly it make it 18 like and I think this Scrabble story is just one of the you know indications of how far we've fallen and how these kids are well like they should be playing Scrabble these kids need Scrabble desperately yeah they should be locked in a room with a Scrabble intellectual stimulation that's you know guys is a game it's fun it's competitive and they need to get off their phones yeah this is really crazy the flip side will have helper cards which use a simpler scoring system and is quicker to play it's called Scrabble Together and will also allow people to compete in teams.

And I'm sure it'll be successful, you know, whatever. I just think, what does it say? I think it says a lot. Yeah. Well, a lot of goalposts and like milestones have been moved recently. Because of the phones. Yeah. Thousand percent.

I've thought about this a lot. No, no. I don't think we should be meeting them where they are. No. I think we should be. Raising the bar. Join us up here. Asking more of them, no. I don't think we should be meeting them where they are. No. I think we should be. Raising the bar. Join us up here. Asking more of them.

Yeah. Why don't you join us? And it's like, you can make Scrabble a little more Gen Z friendly by making. Words. Riz. Riz, right. Like, making a list. That's what they should have done of acceptable modern slang words.

Like, Riz. Bussing. Bussing. Lit. Yeah. Yeah, like, there are ways. But no, intellectually Bussing. Lit. Yeah. Yeah, like there are ways. But no, intellectually they have to lower the bar because like, and I'm sorry, I feel like we have a, you know,

a growing group of Gen Z listeners. And honestly, if you listen to the show and you're Gen Z, I do feel you're far superior to your comrades. So really this isn't an indication of you. But after going to the Olivia Rodrigo concert and just spending a lot of time on social media and seeing what the youth is up to, I'm extremely worried about them.

I actually really dislike them. And I can't wait for them to grow up. Yeah. But this isn't helping. And they, like, dislike people my age because they think we're, like, chuggy or whatever. Fine. Think I'm chuggy. I think you're dumb and dangerous.

So I'd rather wear my hair, you know, to the side and skinny jeans than be you. So why don't you, yeah.

No, I checked. Damn. But it rains and pours. But I'm glad because I really wanted to talk about this fifth and final story, which is cracking me up. Okay. A museum worker hung up his own painting.

When you said this to me yesterday, I was cackling. Claudia, if she were a German museum worker. And Claudia wouldn't be German. Just. The museum worker hung up his own painting, hoping for a big break. Instead, he got fired. Damn. A German art museum worker, an aspiring artist, hoping for a big break, got the sack after

he smuggled in one of his own paintings and hung it up in the gallery. Home to famous pieces by renowned artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Henry Matisse. The 51-year-old employee had drilled two holes into a wall to mount his painting in Munich's Museum. In Munich. Pinatothic der Modern. Hoping for an artistic breakthrough, authorities told a German newspaper. But guards quickly realized something was amiss, according to the spokesperson.

Supervisors noticed something like this immediately. Damn. Okay, like, I just want to say, while, you know, he did, you know, break the rules. Law? Yeah, it's like, you know. He didn't damage, like, the other piece.

He drilled holes. He messed with art. I just want to say, this is a person who cares so deeply about art and is so passionate. Like yeah he was wrong but like that's the type of person who should be working at a museum. I just want to say. Not if he's only there for self-promotion. Like if you could really take down a Matisse in favor of your own art. The crazy thing is to put your work as like an unknown artist up against like Matisse and Da Vinci. So while I understand like wanting to get your art out there it's actually disrespectful to art and you know the the history of art to put your you know piece of shit piece up next to those and

so while maybe it'd be different if he worked at like a low-level gallery like he was a gallery girl yeah definitely definitely crazy that would be like entrepreneurial, like grassroots motivated. This is delusional. Yeah. You know, so. And that's why it's not turdy because like I feel like I'm definitely like, you know, crazy and self-promotional, but I'm not. I'm a little delusional, but like not to the point where I would think like I, my art should be next to a Matisse. Yeah well the museum said the employee considers himself an artist and most likely saw his role in the museum's installation team as a day job to support his true calling and like maybe he used this job always knowing that he was gonna promote himself not

just like as a lover of art. Okay I just want to say like it's really not a crime to like use your day job. No. Like I feel like waiters in LA like they all want to get jobs at like Craig's and stuff because that's where the directors are and they think that's where they'll get. Like,

I don't know, when an actor in LA does it, like, we think it's inspiring. Yeah, no. But this guy, like,

I don't know, I see something. Maybe I see a little bit of myself in him because I feel, you know, oddly defensive of him and his entrepreneurial spirit.

Because there is something industrious about this and innovative. Industrious. He's pulling himself up by his bootstraps. It's hard to get, you know, seen in the art world, you know?

And people do crazy things and they're the ones who get attention. Remember, like we talked about at Art Basel, that piece that was $200,000 and the second it was purchased it like imploded

and was destroyed and it was like a, you know, a statement on art and then somebody else at Art Basel bought like a dirty banana peel. Right. And like it's the people like that who are like kind of crazy and prankster and sort of out there they get the attention and it's not the hard-working museum clerks in Munich who get the attention. But I just have to say like I absolutely need to see what it was. Of course I can't really speak further on the matter until I see like was the museum figures the museum won't comment on the painting subject or because they don't want to give him exactly what he wants and they don't want to avoid copycat people like who knows if it was really like art that maybe if you're not

paying attention like oh that's a nice piece of art or was it like something offensive oh maybe it was like a big penis or something well that's what art is so no also it could have been a swastika right it is Germany right that wouldn't offend the art like a big penis or something well that's what art is so no also it could have been a swastika right it is germany right that wouldn't offend the art crowd a big penis and i want to say something about the people of germany because you know we all clown on germany like what after what they did like you can't say the word germany without like saying hitler holocaust heil hitler like you know um and i want to say i feel like and i don't think people in germany like still have that sort of energy i actually feel like the prime minister of germany was really outspoken about anti-Semitism.

But they take the jokes in stride. And they know they can't get mad. And I just want to say like I respect that. I see you. I see you and I. It's actually very Jewish of you. So I. You know.

Yeah. I feel like they get it a lot. I just saw this thing on TikTok. Well it's kind of like the most known thing that they've done. It's also like low hanging fruit. It's like an obvious joke. And it's also like it was two wars that they did. No. And not only that. It like the most known thing that they've done. It's also like low-hanging fruit. It's like an obvious joke. And it's also like it was two wars that they did. No, and not only that. Like, low-key, it wasn't even that long ago.

There are still people alive who experienced it. And who committed it. Right. Well, and who committed it. That's what's so crazy. I, um, it was like this TikTok going viral. This girl, I don't know if she was like an American living in Germany, but she was basically, like, documenting her life in Germany.

And she's like, I will say, like, I love Germany, but, like, the one thing is, like, the bagels aren't very good. The one thing. Right. And also the bagels, because there's no juice. Right, no, so people were, like, stitching it, being like, I wonder why there's not good bagels in Germany. And it was, like, so funny.

That's very funny. Yeah, and honestly, I feel like the people of Germany took that joke in stride. As they should. As they should, and I give them credit. No, that's, like, part of Germany took that joke in stride as they should as they should and I give them credit no that's like part of the reparations yeah it's like you are demilitarized you're denazified and you must be okay with being made fun and you're desensitized to the jokes and like the jokes I'm sorry they will always be funny yeah okay that was a fast five and you were right they were hilarious yeah and amazingly the show isn't over because it's Thursday, which usually means nothing.

So please don't forget about us if you've had your submission read on air. All right. Hey, Jackson Turney.

I'm a daily YouTube swirly here and I love you both. Two months ago, I started dating a guy, precious gem of a man. Tonight, I pooped before leaving to go hang out with him. He picked me up. We went to a bar with my friends, and we came back to my apartment. He went to the bathroom straight when we got here. From the living room, I heard a flush, and then I heard him start peeing, and then I heard him flush again. So clearly, something was in the toilet that he had to flush before going. Regretfully, I said, why did you flush? And then he said, no reason. And now I can't stop was in the toilet that he had to flush before going. Regretfully, I said, why did you flush? And then he said, no reason. And now I can't stop thinking about the fact that I forgot to flush when I went to the

bathroom while getting ready and he definitely saw the poop. Do I ask him about this? Do I lie? Do I convince myself that I did flush and there was another reason? Sincerely, a toaster who will never forget to flush the toilet ever again. Okay. First of all, this is better for, not that we do unburden, but there's nothing to be done here. Like we just need to un this burden. And two things. I have two thoughts. We pretend like there was something else in the toilet. And by the way, what's done is done,

but I need to ask why on God's green diddly dolly earth you asked him why he flushed twice. Because she was panicking. Expose yourself more. But here's the thing. I want, like we're going to believe that it was something else regardless, but there is a chance that it was something else and then you asked him why'd you flush and like he's embarrassed of whatever it was about himself like maybe he had a courtesy flush because he didn't want to climb to your toilet so it is and then he poured a little water in so it sounded like he was peeing it is really important to know also as crazy as us it's important to note that like there's not a hundred percent chance that you didn't flush yeah unless you're like remembering accurately like unless you know you didn't flush

or is this something that you do often like right do you have a flushing problem forget to flush sometimes the thing is is and let this be a lesson to girls everywhere but you in particular like if you're going out somewhere you're getting ready and you know that everyone's going to end up at your apartment afterwards whether it's a date or a group of friends like you have to leave your apartment and take that last look that last look is so important I never thought the last look should also be in the toilet bowl I live with Ben Soffer so it has to be like literally today I went to the guest bathroom to pick up your laundry for you and there was a pee in the toilet here's the thing if you guys are meant to be this will not derail you if he is

like a serious mature person and he saw your dookie in there. I want to say something. I want to say something. I think even like a serious mature person could get like a little icked out by someone's poop and then not want to see them again. Honestly, I'm sorry. It depends how foreign you are. But like if he loves you already and he's like, this is my girl. Poop is just like kind of crazy.

No, but that wouldn't undo all of that. If this was like three good dates and he saw your poop, maybe not. What did she say at the top? Two months ago started dating this guy. Okay. Honestly, this could be make or break and in a good way. Like it's kind of how like when you're dating someone. He might not like you enough to see your poop or maybe he likes you enough that he didn't even see it.

It could be one of those accelerators. Sometimes when you're dating someone and like their birthday comes up or Valentine's Day, like kind of moves the relationship along in a faster way than it would have had it not been your birthday. Or the opposite. It's like clear they don't want to be serious. Right. I feel like a poop could do that too. It could be an accelerator or a decelerator. Yeah. I guess we'll have this one I would love an update on. I want to talk to you in four months. Are you still seeing this guy? Yeah. Don't bring it up ever again by the way. No but if you guys like get married and have kids you could be like by the way. By the way. In the bowl. Yeah.

have kids you could be like by the way. By the way. In the bowl. Yeah. Walls. And he might not have any idea what you're talking about and that will be because he threw up in the toilet or something. And then six years later you can be free of this. Yeah. Don't worry. It's only going to take six years. So we'll at our 12 year toastiversary we'll be hearing from you. Yeah. All right. Our next next one hello beautiful girls thanks for being the sisters i've never had that's so sweet i love listening on the daily and this is my first time writing in so here it goes my husband precious gem of a man of four years has recently voiced his expectation that we have sex together twice a day roughly 14 times a week it's important to know it's been a four years yeah okay it's important to note that this is not at

all the cadence we have ever kept even in the early days so they have jobs while i've recently become a stay-at-home mom to our baby who has time for this am i being unreasonable for saying that this expectation is unrealistic girl that's insane first of all to to just outright say you want something different in your marriage something important like sex four years into it it's like something's going on in his life. This man's having an affair. I just want to say to have such a crazy like drastic change of heart on something like very important. It's giving midlife crisis.

It's giving something's going on in his life. I wouldn't be surprised if you found out like he was keeping a separate family. Like this is just behavior that's so crazy. It's indicative of something crazy yes possibly but let's say it's not for whatever reason like he just woke up and he's like I want more sex I deserve more sex and we're gonna have more sex like no that's not how it works right also like you have a baby whatever like and baby probably takes two naps a day so you don't even get like one nap of free time like also doesn't he work no and it's like okay you want more sex

earn it take me out to dinner yeah romance me buy me lingerie buy me a necklace twice a day yeah okay two necklaces a day yeah this is insane sex isn't just given it's earned at a certain point in a marriage right but like say he came to her and said like I wanna we came with a reasonable request like maybe they were dropping off and they were like I want to go you know well that's different if you hit like a lull and you say like, let's prioritize each other. Let's start having sex. I feel like a real, if you're in like a lull, a reasonable thing is like, let's start having sex two, three times a week.

Yeah. No, if he had said that. Two, three times a day. No, no. Maybe you misheard him. If he had said that, that's like two times a day is insane. And to just outright say it'd be like, this is my expectation. You know, meet me here.

No. How about no? What if I. No. How about no? What if I just left? How about no? What if I just didn't? So this sounds like a man, I do a little bit of digging. Like sometimes, like I just have a gut feeling that like this is, I don't know, it's kind of a crazy thing to say after four years, like something changed so drastically.

I don't know. I would look into like his cell phone. Just honestly, I would. And then if there was nothing nefarious going on uh here have you ever heard of the word no yeah just like a big fat fucking no our third and final to your toasters please help in all caps I've been listening to your podcast for a little over a year and I can truly say I love my drive to work because I get to cackle with you guys on the way there and back so thank you oh that's so nice I need help on a recurring topic in my marriage. Zin pouches.

Do you know what those are? No. You don't? Is it dip? Kind of. Okay. So in case y'all don't know Zin is a brand of nicotine pouches

that have been around for like 10 years and I'll just tell you they're like big in the culture right now. It's dip but they're packed in like little they look like

little tea bags and you put them in your lip and you have like a cup all day that you like spit into and the brand Zin like they have taken over for vapes. Everyone, all the young kids are all day, every day have these pouches in their mouth. Okay.

And it gives you like a high, like a nicotine high. Yeah. Like a cigarette. Like a cigarette all day. Yeah, that's like dip. Yeah. But it comes in a pouch. It's a little less gross, right?

Yeah. Because dip is like loose. Like sea dirt. It's disgusting. My PJM husband has constantly been, I'm sorry. My total PJM of a husband constantly has one in his mouth. It's literally from the morning before I leave for work, while I'm cooking dinner, after dinner, literally all day, every day.

I brought up this topic and said, not only is it unattractive and unhealthy, but he carries around a water bottle slash spit cup when he does it too, which is really gross. He's recently become a toaster, mainly because of your wonderful content during Love is Blind season six. And he seems to really trust your opinions. So please tell him he needs to stop or tell me if I'm just being a naggy bitch wife. Love, a grossed out and concerned toaster. So I feel like I can really speak on this because I vaped for many, many years and they're similar. I feel like vaping is less bad, but it's all one in the same. And I got to a place with my vaping where it was like a fun thing I did at parties and it was like a nighttime thing to by the time I had to quit it

was a 24-7 thing and it became gross you know um and I'm all for having fun like you want to put a pouch in at a party at a bar I feel like you know what have fun you're young you're young whatever and you know the consequences like I knew vaping was bad and I still made the choice to do it when I got to a place where I was like vaping first thing in the morning it became really unattractive and really unhealthy and I'm gonna say that to you kind sir and I first of all love that you're a toaster and you respect our opinions and I feel like I can say like you shouldn't be doing it all day every day and it's like not fun once you're doing it all day every day you're getting to a point where you're gonna need to quit like you took it too far I took it too far giving like

a nicotine addiction whereas like if it was a nighttime fun party thing impacting people in your life like if your wife didn't care and we're all having fun then I guess that's that is fine do whatever you want but I think we got to pull it back a little bit and the thing is like and I can relate because I took it too far too and I got to a place where I couldn't oh my god I forgot to tell you guys something you vaped I did at tinks's thing it wasn't tinks's fault but I had one hit of a vape um it probably was like the best feeling I've ever had in my life people said like people said months later like you're gonna be so grossed out it wasn't gross it was only one only one and the next day I was fine one chip I feel like it wasn't a big It was. Only one? Only one. And the next day I was fine. Like one chip.

I feel like it wasn't a big deal. No that's not a big deal. I was totally fine but I remember like feeling amazing. Who gave it to you? You know who gave it to me. Oh okay. Yeah. Okay yeah that's who would give it to you. Yeah yeah yeah. Like I'm not even mad at her. No I know and I'm not mad either. The next day I told Ben and I was like mad at myself the next day but I completely forgot about it. I have no cravings so I felt pretty good yeah that's all good and so if I could get to a place where it's like I did it at a party like that's what you should be doing that's what those things are for it's supposed to be fun when you take it too far it's like okay what's next heroin no breakfast lunch and dinner dipping your mouth

spit cup it's it's also like really unattractive to be spitting. We're not playing baseball. You know, if you want to be doing that, like start bringing in some MLB money. Yeah. And then make a talk. I think that's such a fair compromise. Marriage is all about compromise. And that's what would make me feel okay.

There's your zen, bro. And that's motivating. Yeah. So we'll be following up in a year have you made the MLB or have you quit this horrid habit that's honestly I'm rooting for you to make the MLB me too who cares about cancer we're rich who cares about a spit cup yeah no we're wealthy spit in your other room it's a spit goblet down Down the other side of the house. In the West Wing. All right, you guys, thanks to everyone who wrote into your toasters.
