Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy hump day! It's the big day of the week. Theo's here. Everyone's here. Wednesdays are slowly turning into my favorite day of the week as it pertains to toast. Fridays are still my favorite day of the week, just in general. But Wednesdays are becoming my favorite because Deer Toasters has really turned into a real staple around here. Yeah, no, it's definitely an institution, part of the Toast. Big institution.

Big institution, part of Toast history. And we're doing Dear Toasters today, so that will be fun. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. We even have an update on a previous one for you guys, so I'm thrilled to be doing that. And also, just to celebrate Hump Day the only way I know how. Bye, grab it.

I say to my dog, Theo, Theo, get over here. Jackie literally has watched my special once, but it obviously made a real impact on her because she memorized the entire thing. And that's just the type of valuable content you can find when watching my comedy special, Disgraced Queen. Now available on all, well not all, but most streaming platforms available for rent, stream, purchase on iTunes, Apple TV, Amazon Prime. You can stream the album on Spotify or iTunes. Tons of places. Head over to my Instagram, girlwithnojob.

I have a little highlight called Disgraced Queen with all the links to places you can listen and view. Also, we must discuss the wallpaper in the room. Oh, sorry. The literal elephant in the room we forgot to address. But yes, it's here. We told you guys we'd be making many updates. This was kind of the biggest one we were waiting for. And I think it's sickening.

I think it's sickening to them. Like looking at the camera, we look like we're in the Beverly Hills Hotel. We are. Filming the morning toast. Like the toasty vibes are back. They never left. We've always been toasty. But now they are back.

And better than ever, we're going to get our neon sign back up at some point. And we're just making moves. Yeah. And I'm like loving the vibes here. Very very warm very palatial also another change that we made that just went completely unnoticed was we both like got two chairs oh by the way i thought like you know how i say sometimes it's like everyone listens to the show and then sometimes like nobody listens to the show and sometimes it feels like we're literally just talking to the four people in this room um that's how I felt when nobody noticed our chairs.

We ordered this couch. This is one couch. Yeah, we ordered the entire set in November. And one piece was missing, like was not delivered until two weeks ago. And it's finally here. So this is the way the couch was meant to look. And if we have guests, now we don't have to sit on the thrones. I think we've officially...

Now you and I each have somewhere to lean. Oh my God, I love leaning. We've been leaning. And major update, because due to the arrival of the fourth couch, we did retire permanently two of our thrones. Don't worry. We still have two more. We're very attached to them.

We just can't let them go. They're sitting right over there. Something about it feels wrong to let it go. Yeah, no, we can't let them go. Those thrones were there for us. They had our backs literally, physically, mentally, spiritually. They breathed new life into us as human beings, us as hosts, into our brands. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to those chairs.

So I can't just throw them out. Even though you know me, I'm like literally the opposite of a hoarder. Like Jackie calls me the sweeper. She's the sweeper. I sweep. I throw. If I haven't used you in a week, you out like I'm so like nuts about clutter and these huge chairs definitely take up a lot of space in our studio but it's so worth it just for the

memories speaking of everyone listening to the toast or not um something crazy happened yesterday oh my god wherein we found out that Bobby Bones was talking about us on his show because his girlfriend is a toaster. Shout out to you. So I went to listen to it and they upload the entire show as a podcast. It's 90 minutes. And I literally scrolled through the entire thing just to find us at the last three minutes. I literally wasted an hour and a half. Even though it was good, there was a Brett Eldridge interview.

So it wasn't really a waste of time. But if someone had just given me the timestamp stamp that would have been so much more helpful and whenever people send it me like oh this person mentioned the morning toast on their podcast like I automatically get a pit Hitsville USA just hearing people who like aren't like my friends that I know personally say the words of the morning toast gives me a sense of anxiety that I can't describe like it's truly indescribable um and he was basically saying that him, they were talking about like ways to connect with your partner more meaningfully, like put your phone down. And he was like, well, all she wants to do is talk about this podcast.

She listens to the morning toast. And he was like, yeah, she's always saying like the girl said this and the girl said that. And it was like literally making my day. And then he was like, well, I never heard of it. And I honestly probably should have mentioned it because then people will go listen to that instead of us. But it's probably just like a bunch of girls talking about tampons which is you know toxic masculinity at its finest but is he wrong no we're no we talk about tampons we that's on a sponsorship okay tampons um that's that's cool so just um mrs bobby bones hi we see you thank you so much um for listening just you know a nationally syndicated moment never hurts. No, it absolutely never hurts.

Well, actually, I guess it can hurt, but in this case, it didn't. Speaking of a nationally syndicated moment, I recorded a segment for Tanya Rad's new radio show. Nationally syndicated? It's nationally syndicated. It's going to be on Z100 on Sunday night. I'll get you guys the exact time and myself. I'll have to call Uber. We've got to get in the car. We've got to get the car i have to call an uber to live with myself on the

radio funny um did you get to request any songs no we just talked about podcasting really um it's always fun like talking to her and catching up with her and i'm just so proud of her and her new radio show like that's such a major big deal and nobody works harder than her and i'm just so excited to be included that's fabulous yeah one more thing I want to bring up before we dive in because I know it didn't make the cut for the fast five and it literally just came to me but can we talk about the rumors that Vinny Guadagnino and Francesca Farago from Too Hot to Handle are like steamy and heating up yes we can I saw it before I went to bed last night and I made a mental note to add to the fast five and then the mental

note just blew away. But yeah, let's talk about it. I think I mean, I don't know if it's just me or like the generation who grew up on Jersey Shore, but I hold a very warm, special place in my heart for Vinny Guadagnino. Like to me, he was always like the good guy on Jersey Shore. He like loves his family. He's so cute. We always shipped him and Snooki. Part of us still does.

And I love what he did with his career after Jersey Shore. Now Jersey Shore is back. And I just love him. And I kind of like ship this to the nth degree. To the nth degree. I mean, so do I. I was still like holding out hope for her and Diplo. It turns out, by the way, that they dated before she went on Too Hot to Handle.

So maybe they're just like old flames who are now friends. Nice work if you can get it. Truly. I ship her and Vinny. It's not what I would have seen for her necessarily, but I'm completely on board. I hope the rumors are true. And it's more than just like Instagram commenting.

Yeah, no, it is. But it's also not like a full-fledged relationship. So I'm glad that we didn't make it like a benchmark story here today because it's Wednesday. It's a special day. Quarantine, like new cross-country relationships aren't just popping up. Maybe they're just quarantine dating. And like all this they're never gonna see each other again like most people who are quarantine dating with one another yeah like I'm sure plenty of

celebrities go on like one date with a fellow celebrity and we never hear about it because it goes nowhere right no that's so true well that's what Jessica Simpson was saying in her book like she actually um when she like after her divorce was like being like a celebrity dating celebrities she would date like all these like a-list actors musicians but it was so private like they would literally have a date on a private jet and she didn't name drop which was really annoying but it goes to show you that you can have a private date yeah you probably just want to meet someone like see if it's any sort of connection before you bring the entire public into the rumors exactly it's just my thoughts um so we have a fabulous show for you guys.

We do. We have a lot of stories. And so I think we should just get right into it. Sure. There's no time like the present to deliver the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. Are you ready for it? Are you ready for it?

Boom. Boom. Yes, I am. Okay. Okay. First story. Erin Andrews is speaking out as she and tom bergeron not correct exit dancing with the stars she says she'll cherish the experience they don't exit dancing with the

stars they're asked to leave yeah erin andrews has spoken out for the first time since it was announced on monday that she and tom b are leaving the bachelor now tom b the co-host issued a statement on instagram alongside two photos with tom reflecting on her experience with the Stars. Tom B. The co-host issued a statement on Instagram alongside two photos with Tom, reflecting on her experience with the show. Quote, Thank you, ABC, and the entire Dancing with the Stars family for six memorable seasons. Those years wouldn't have been as special without my loving host, Tom, the talented dancers, and witty judges.

I will always cherish my days on set, even if I wasn't the best at walking in heels. Witty judges aka annoying judges this seems like such a random shake-up because we actually had the pleasure of going to Dancing with the Stars filming last season and we were both saying after how like we thought it was the most fabulous like well-run glamorous Hollywood show and if I did you know have to complain about something it would be the horrible judges like to me me, they're so annoying. And they just give like the most inconsistent grades, scores. And like there's, to me, I literally hate the judges. And so if you said, Claudia, they're shaking up the cast of Dancing with the Stars,

I'd be like, oh good, the judges are out? Like, so there's nothing, I didn't have a problem with Tom and Erin. It's like, they really are, I know we keep saying this, but they were like an institution of Dancing with the Stars. But I'm not at all mad at their replacement. Right. So the next half of this story is the news that Tyra Banks has been named the new host and executive producer of Dancing with the Stars.

The announcement of Banks as the new host of the reality competition series comes just one day after it was revealed that Tom and Erin would be stepping away from the show. So Tyra Banks has entered the ballroom. Yes. Yes. Yesterday when I saw Tom and Erin were leaving, it was like question mark, didn't fully understand, whatever.

I didn't think much about it. And then today finding out that Tyra is taking on the role as host, I was just really excited. Okay. Like Tyra Banks is an iconic television show host. I mean, we were rooting for you. I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you. Like, I have never in a life yelled at my girl like this. It is, she's so prone

to iconic moments that I just, I'm so looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us. And like, you know, it's, I just think this is fabulous. Like this is just on so many levels. I think this is going to be great, but it is a two man job and now she's doing it by herself. I wonder how that's going to play out. You know, she's going to be running all over the ballroom for the two-hour episode. Ooh, interesting. Maybe they'll reformat the host's duties. Right.

Or maybe someone will accompany her. Like a correspondent. Yes, like a correspondent on the ground. OTG. With dancing stars. Dancing stars, yeah. So yeah, this was like a really random shake-up. And maybe not necessary, but I'm not mad about the results no wait she's also an executive producer which is

very exciting I mean a lot of people forget because she's kind of been super low-key the last few years but she has made her mark on television both reality and otherwise for many years Tyra the show she was host of America's Got Talent and like the creator founder host of America's Next Top Model which now my favorite thing on TikTok is people like drudging up old episodes of reality TV just to see like crazy things being said and done that would never fucking happen today and on American no America's Next Top Model that is like the prime show it's like all the shit they used to say was so outrageous and like it would never get made today but it's just the TikToks of people resurfacing these old episodes are some of my favorite content to watch

wow that's really funny it is really funny it's true we're gonna get some iconic moments I think this is good news I hope Tom and Erin have something lined up or well Erin is Fox Sports like that's I think her major moneymaker and I think she'll be just fine. But I do agree with you that if we're going to be shaking it up, that judges table. Carrie Ann, I'm so sorry, but it is your time. Len, you as well. And Bruno, you have got to go. Like, and I don't know what the accolades are of them personally, like what makes them professional.

And I know that they have ties to ballroom dancing. And I am sure that they are qualified. But this is an an entertainment show and I'm just so over their shtick like Bruno every second like getting up Len I'm upset like everything is so like I think you just watch the show too much because by the way I barely watch the show and the fact that I know their tropes is how I know it's so overplayed and overdone yeah I honestly I've been to an episode once and I probably watched like five episodes in my life, maybe less. Yeah.

So I'm not even a stan. It's just, it's so old school. I feel like they were the appropriate judges when the show was a place for Z-list talent. Like, when the show first got on the air, like, they could not land real celebrity talent. It was really like a who's who of Loserville. Now it's like

a prestigious place where like winning is really good for your career. And I just think the judges have to evolve with the type of contestants that are now being put on the show. I'm sorry. Yeah. Wasn't Julianne Hough a judge at one point? Perfect person for it. What happened? I don't know. She was a dancer, right? Yeah. And then she like graduated.

Uh-huh. And which I think should be a thing. I think that's excellent. Who knows better about the dances than the dancers? Yeah. I don't know what's wrong, what happened to her, but I know Derek Huff is on. So you were world of dance. One of those,

which is like the loser cousin of dancing with the stars. I actually like dancing with the stars a lot. Yeah. I'm excited for the new season whenever they get to film it and it comes out. I've actually been reading. I saw an article today that Real Housewives of Orange County are filming yeah and they're going on their cast trip

like oh my god where are they going oh I don't know I didn't click it but I just thought that was an interesting factoid Jimmy Fallon is back at 30 Rock but like totally alone no audience interesting which is so weird but I was just I'm so over these at-home shows like they're really making me sad yeah no they're and I think they're hard for the people hosting them as well like it's it's hard to get motivated inspired while you're like doing your own glam like talking to your living room it's also very toxic to have your home become your workplace like that's um who else was saying that I don't remember but it's it's not healthy to like have no boundaries yeah so I feel like that causes them to perform less well, less good.

Yeah. No, I agree. Okay. Well, that's the dance with the stars news. Exciting. Yes. Cha-cha. Some more hosting news.

Nick Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS over anti-Semitic comments on a podcast. ViacomCBS has terminated its relationship with Nick Cannon following an episode of Cannon's class in which he made anti-Semitic remarks. Quote, ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism. We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast Cannon's class on YouTube which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, said a spokeswoman for the company. While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism. We are terminating our relationship with him. Some of those comments were wild and

out. Yeah, those comments were wild. He stands by them. Yeah, well, so that's the thing. It's like, of course, I like to look at every cancellation with with a good amount of grace, even when I'm you know, I am offended. The target. I'm the target. And I I watched the episode and I was like, oh, OK. And then I'm like, let's see what happens. Like, I wonder if there will be backlash. And he, you know, really dug in. He went on. He gave a statement to the Fast Company and a little thread on Twitter where he's like, he's like,

I'm all open, like I want to learn more but never once did he really A, apologize or B, acknowledge that he said anything wrong. It was very general.

Yeah, so. And then he said he actually doesn't like apologizing. Yeah, no, so he pretty much stands by what he said and this is what he said.

He interviewed rapper Richard Griffin known as Professor Griff about his dismissal from a hip-hop group Public Enemy in 1989 for saying the Jews are wicked and are responsible for the majority. Yeah, we're wicked cool. And are responsible for the majority of wickedness that goes on around the globe. No, we are just responsible for being fans of the show Wicked.

I think he's confused. Griffin doubled down on his comments in his interview with Nick Cannon. Cannon said, you're speaking facts. There's no reason to be scared of anything when you're speaking the truth. Cannon later added that black people are true Hebrews. Quote, you can't be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people. That's our birthright. So if that's truly our birthright, there's no hate involved.

So according to Nick Cannonannon I am not Jewish yes and um Nick Hannon also attended this July 4th speech by Louis Farrakhan where these same ideas were reiterated um where Jews are called satanic yeah we are termites if you see a Jew uncover them and throw a stone pick up your stone it's it's on it's not funny no it's not funny but like so outrageous so outrageous and so this is obviously this conspiracy theory this strain of thinking that nick cannon subscribes to there are also other celebrities who attended that speech who promoted that speech um no one's really disheartening no one's talking about it no one's gonna talk about it um but ti two chains and rick ross all were in attendance um

snoop dog and very upsetting promoted the speech and as a jewish person these it's it's terrifying yeah no and it's just such a strange um like thing to like dig your grave in. Like it's just such a random and far out conspiracy. Like I, I'm so sorry. I am Jewish. Yeah, we are Jewish. And you know what? And again, I don't feel like people should, I don't believe in cancel culture

and I don't believe that people should be fired for things that they said if, you know, they didn't mean them or it was misinterpreted. Or if they're going to apologize and try and learn from it. But it's very clear that Nick Hannon knew exactly what he was saying he stands by it and he's not sorry for it so in that case I do as the governor of cancel land I do approve this cancellation yes and I also um I applaud ViacomCBS because

it does feel like sometimes people can get away with saying anti-Semitic remarks and even though we don't necessarily condone getting fired for what you say um that's the world that we live in people are getting fired for offensive remarks that's the so it should be an equal playing field it should apply to all offensive remarks and when it feels like it doesn't apply to anti-Semitism that is really disheartening but here it does and I applaud Viacom. So I'm not entirely sure what Viacom letting him go entails. I do think that Nick Cannon's Wild and Out which is the MTV show that's been on forever is one of the Viacom productions and so he will either be it's called like when you look in the TV guide it's called Nick Cannon's Wild and Out. So either I don't think the show will be canceled but maybe they will rebrand without his name and he will no longer be an executive producer.

cancel but maybe they will rebrand without his name and he will no longer be an executive producer yeah we'll see we'll see what it looks like um but that's that that's that on that next up um i don't know what to call her glisane maxwell jelaine pleads not guilty to sex trafficking abuse charges glisane maxwell pleaded not guilty on tuesday to charges that she helped traffic young women for jeffrey epstein to sexually abuse as her trial date was set for next year. Maxwell appeared via video conference for her arraignment on a six count indictment, charging her with recruiting and grooming young women to be molested by Epstein. Prosecutor said she took part in some of the abuse herself. So she has pled not guilty. She was trying to get bail but she got none they um they I think it's still

there the bail proceeding hasn't been ruled yet but obviously she's an extreme flight risk and so hopefully bail is not posted or else this we'll never see this woman again well she's an extreme flight risk who claimed but is claiming that she has no income, I guess just for her and her lawyers to prove like she's not a flight risk, so maybe she can get out on bail, even though she's just contradicting herself now because she asked the judge permission to stay

in like a local fancy hotel instead of prison until her trial. Like what makes you think you're special, bitch? And she bought a fancy house as her hideaway. Right, no, it's like, you think you're special? No, you bought a fancy house as her hideaway. Right. No, it's like you think you're special? No, you're a criminal bitch. You're going to fucking jail, bitch.

Also, another interesting factoid. She's secretly married and she's refusing to reveal the name of her husband, prosecutor said this week at the accused madam's bail hearing. The bombshell detail was divulged Tuesday as Manhattan prosecutors accused her of purposely hiding the extent of her wealth.

Quote, in addition to failing to describe in any way the absence of proposed co-signers of a bond, the defendant also makes no mention whatsoever about the financial circumstances or assets of her spouse, whose identity she declined to provide to pretrial services. Isn't that public information? Like, where's, get the license. I have no idea. Who would marry this woman? No, who would marry this wench like this literal piece of garbage smelly hot garbage on a warm sunny day in new york like

who has that little respect for themselves and humanity to even come within five feet at maxwell yeah i don't know yeah i don't know what's more sickening that you know what if you're single you guys there is hope. Because if Ghislaine Maxwell can find a husband, so can you. If Ghislaine Maxwell can find a man, so can you. It's so true. Like, those are some of the most inspiring words I've ever heard. Well, I really, really hope that Justice, like, that we hold on to Justice,

that she is not released on bail. Like, this is our real last chance to get justice for these girls you know let's take it one step at a time and for where we are right now i think it's going well they're not letting her stay in the hotel she'll probably not get out on bail so i think we're on we're we have to just take it one step at a time and i think for right now we're in a good spot bail was denied okay thank you hallelujah so like i said i think we're in a good yeah we're in a good hallelujah hallelujah we're in a good spot we're in a good spot we're in a good spot we can't get ahead of ourselves our chickens before they hatch right so we're fine for now but there's so much

work to be done yeah okay but um speaking of jeffrey epstein um chrissy teigen is slamming a bizarre conspiracy linking her to jeffrey epstein chrissy Teigen is slamming a bizarre conspiracy linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. Chrissy Teigen is at a breaking point and worried for her family because she has been the subject of bizarre conspiracy theories linking her to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The model exploded on Tuesday when a user pointed out that she had deleted over 28,000 tweets yesterday and also falsely claimed she was on Epstein's flight logs

going to his island, Little St. James, which has been nicknamed paedophile island or island of sin. By the way, I heard it was 66,000 tweets. Well, so then she tweeted, I actually deleted 60,000 tweets because I cannot fucking stand you idiots anymore and I'm worried for my family. Find me talking about toddlers and tiaras in 2013 and thinking you're some sort of fucking operative. Fucking detectives that can't even do simple subtraction to see how much was deleted that's who we are working with here she added in a later tweet calling the conspiracy theorists losers when another person commented that she

seemed offensive she answered this i don't get everyone thinking i'm guilty because i'm defensive you understand you were calling me a pedophile correct so so there a while ago i mean the flight logs of famous people who were on the jeffrey epstein plane which they called the lolita express um were released with a ton of evidence like years ago and people like combed through and found like i think they said bill clinton was on it like 20 something times there's tons of celebrities i think you know innocent celebrities and not innocent celebrities because rich people take rich people's planes all the time so just because you're on the flight log it is not an admission of guilt but someone it's not good but it's not good but someone made a fake fight flight log like

years ago putting Chrissy Teigen and John Legend on it um and it has been widely you know disproven that it's not real but it still like follows her around and I see her I follow her on Twitter and she tweets about it a lot especially when Jeffrey Epstein and Glisane were like in the news so people have been obviously tweeting it at her recently given all that's going on with Glisane and it must be annoying for her but I feel like there's two things going on here you know because people have actually dredged up like old Chrissy Teigen tweets I mean she used to be like before she was like everything of the sort,

she was like a popular-ish model and she had like hilarious takes on pop culture. It was a funny model. But some of them were not 2020 friendly. So I think that probably deleting her tweets was a good thing for her career.

Like if you hope to, you know, start a career in entertainment, amount to any, you know, small amount or big amount of success. I can't stress enough how important it is to clear out your social media, probably once every two years. Times change so quickly and things that were acceptable to be said in 2010 are not acceptable in 2020. And although that's, you know, a reasonable thing to happen, you know, everyone makes mistakes. We live in a very unforgiving world. So if you

are trying to, you know, rise to some sort of fame or notoriety, I highly encourage you, take a page out of my book, take a page out of Chrissy Teigen's book, delete your tweets. So I think Chrissy Teigen probably should have done this a long time ago.

But I'm not sure that the tweets have anything to do with the Ghislaine Maxwell. Well, I guess because what she said about toddlers and tiaras is now people are going to go through her 60,000 tweets, find anything she's ever said about children and like find a way to sexualize it and connect her to Jeffrey Epstein. Got it.

OK, that's the connection. I didn't get that. OK. Yeah. So I guess that's why she deleted her tweets. I mean, honestly, aside from her talking about it, like I really haven't seen me calling out Chrissy for being connected to Jeffrey Epstein. She's not in any of the documentaries.

Right. But I'm sure she gets it in her mentions and it's annoying. Yeah, of course. Especially because it's not true. Yeah. Allegedly. Stop.

It's not true. Yeah. Sure. Stop. I'm kidding. It's not true. Then the final story. Wow, that was fast.

It was fast. Is it a little bit of news? No, it's not. It's more entertainment news. Some exciting news. Vanity Fair cover of Viola Davis is the magazine's first by a black photographer. What a disgrace. I'm sorry.

In 2020. I know. The first. I can't believe we're still having firsts. I agree. The new issue of Vanity Fair featuring a powerful image of Oscar-winning actor Viola Davis marks the first time the publication has featured the work of a black photographer on its cover.

The historic image of Davis, shot by photographer Dario Calmes, shows the 54-year-old in profile, her back facing the camera. Davis is wearing a blue gown with a deep plunge in the back, hand on her hip. The publication has had a problem in the past with putting black women on the covers, Davis says in an interview for the magazine. Call them out. Call them out. Call them out. The covers are, the cover is stunning and the photos are stunning.

And it's just such an interesting, such interesting timing because I was reading a lot of stuff on Twitter about Simone Biles was recently on the cover of Vogue. And of course, that's amazing. She's so deserving of the accolades. Also a great cover. I saw it was posted on the Morning Twist Instagram and I'm just so happy for her.

But if you look at a lot of the pictures from the actual spread, I believe Annie Leibovitz was the photographer. And I don't know if she has tons of experience shooting and lighting black skin. And it's very clear that she doesn't because Simone is really poorly lit in a lot of the photos. And her black skin, which is like her greatest feature, is not being highlighted at all. And it's just poorly lit. And if you could see the biggest, if look at the the spread of Simone Biles and

the spread of Viola Davis like you can see the difference in working with a black photographer who totally understands how to light how to work how to shoot with black skin and Viola Davis looks amazing and like that yellow behind her she just she looks so powerful and I love that she wore her natural hair and I love her I love her as well and she said she like there because a lot of the interviews of course about you know the current climate and black lives matter and she said something so powerful she said my entire career has been my protest iconic wow she looks beautiful she looks beautiful it's a great cover it's a great cover check out the article and like why is Vanity Fair have such a hard time putting a black person on the cover I don't know. And they've never had

a black photographer. It's just disgraceful. It's just so weird because aren't, these are like also the publications who also write about this stuff. Right.

So it's like you walk, you talk the talk but I see you sitting down. Yeah. Walk the walk. You're not walking the walk. It's time. Okay.

before we get into your toasters just talking about conspiracies chrissy teigen oh yes etc um we are about to record after this a patreon episode all about conspiracy theories there's a lot going on right now between um the wayfair and it's honestly insulting to call some of them conspiracy theories because it's just like unpopular theories that are probably true okay i don't feel that way about the way for one you don't no we'll get into it but like there's proven like there's yes there's kids who have gone missing with that name but they've been found like no one's following up that like the kids have been found but i don't we'll see we'll talk we're gonna dive into it patreon.com slash the morning toast we're not fully educated on the scandal so i'm going to

educate myself we're going to be reading learning reading the details talking about it in depth um and because that's something that a lot of people want us to talk about and there's just a lot of different theories swirling around about different subjects right now and so we're going to give you our thoughts literally I did not hear one word that last sentence was nodding like you said I'm gonna we'll give you our thoughts there's a lot of theories swirling around about different subjects right now and so we're going to give you our thoughts got it okay now dear toasters hi jackie and claudia i recently moved into a new apartment building in the downtown area of my city it's a bit older and there are only eight units including my own the building is designed so that your apartment door faces outside which normally

would make me feel very unsafe except except that all the doors face inwards towards each other so anyone on the street would think it's normal. Wait, what? I don't get it. Okay. The building is designed so that your apartment door faces the outside, which normally would make me feel very unsafe, except that all the doors face inwards towards each other. So anyone on the street would think it's a normal secure entry building.

Still don't get it. Okay. Maybe it's like a hallway of doors that go to the outside, but like. A courtyard situation okay a couple weeks ago something weird started happening i took my recycle out late at night to the alleyway where my recycling bin is i was feeling lazy so rather than breaking down my cardboard boxes i just decided to throw them in the bin oh that is so relatable i'd like to note that i'd like to note that it there were mostly just white claw boxes so i didn't think it would be that big of a deal.

The next morning, I woke up to find that someone had gone into the recycling bin, pulled out all the boxes I put in there, and put them in front of my door. It threw me off because I just assumed one of my neighbors had seen me and was trying to make a point. So I broke all the boxes down and then put them back in the recycling bin. Later that night, I opened my apartment door, and I shit you not, someone had gone into the recycling bin, put all my boxes out, taped them together and put them on my doorstep. To say I was shook was an understatement. Since then, this has happened maybe three or four times where I wake up in the morning and the boxes I broke down have been put back together and are sitting on my doorstep. Oh my God.

I have no idea who it is, but I'm really starting to freak out. What should I do? Do I call my landlord? Do I dress in camp and hide in the bushes? Please give me guidance on how to catch this predator sincerely a concerned toaster that is so weird that's not where i thought the story was going because honestly like i have a few times in buildings that i've lived in like not broken down boxes because i'm just so lazy and it's like you have to do it it's like part of living in a building it is your duty as like a responsible neighbor yeah this is really crazy are they always

alcohol boxes maybe this person's like very religious and like trying to send you a message this is a case for the FBI honestly no here's what you should actually do um because this is like weird and scary get a ring doorbell or yeah some sort of doorbell where it shows the person who is coming to your door that's also just a good thing to have in general especially if your door faces the outside um just get a photograph of the person who it is and then depending on if you know the person in your building or if you guys have like a resident manager you can deal with it that way but first i would want to know who's doing this and i agree maybe it's something about the alcohol and they're trying to like show you that you're drinking too much but or it's like someone who's like takes offense from alcohol like someone's

deeply religious i i don't believe that like people would actually do something like that based on the way on alcohol so person it might not be hard to narrow down because she said it's only eight units in the building this person obviously has no job or life because he's spending all this time like rummaging through trash and putting boxes back together that have been broken down by his neighbors so find the person in the building who's like in the building the most who has the least amount of like things going on it's probably that person or like if you don't want to get a ring doorbell and also like the person might see it when they're dropping off the boxes like grab a friend do a stakeout put your boxes as you normally do maybe do even more than normal so you're just like triggering

them and then get in the bushes, see what happens. That is creepy though, just to like know that someone in your building is like keeping an eye on you. Watching you. Yeah. For something,

maybe you're not recycling them properly and he's like trying to make a point. I don't know. I don't know. That's very strange. I offer you no advice other than just do a little digging. Yeah.

But carefully, because this person's obviously a sociopath with nothing else to do. Carefully. All right, next up. Hi obviously a sociopath with nothing else to do. Carefully. All right, next up. Hi, Jackie and Claudia. First, how you doing? I need some serious help.

That's what we're here for. I've been with my boyfriend for five good years, and we have lived together for the last two of them. Things have always been so good. We've had a few bumps, but nothing major or worth breaking up over. Recently, I noticed he has been so different, like more secretive.

He will always be on his phone and hide it. He doesn't even let me see it if we're in the car and I want to change the song. Something just doesn't feel right. I expressed to him that I feel like he might be doing something wrong and he has explained to me that he's not. This led me to finding out that he's been obsessed with ASMR for the past year and I had no idea. He said he was embarrassed, but I kept ensuring him that it's okay and you like what you like. The gut feeling went away. Then those weird little things he was doing started up again so I of course got skeptical. One day he was in the shower I decided to snoop and went through his Apple Watch to see his conversations with friends. I am disgusted.

He was talking about asking girls if oh wait I'm sorry he was talking about some girls only fans. I have yet to find proof of him actually going on but he talked about asking girls if, oh wait, I'm sorry. He was talking about some girls only fans. I have yet to find proof of him actually going on, but he talked about asking girls if they would strip for him and how some girls have fat asses and shit like that. It's been a few days now and he knows something's wrong with me, but I don't know how to confront it. Plus, I really don't want him to know I went through his shit, lol. I know he's, I know he knows why I'm mad, but he has yet to mention anything, but we've just kind of been here.

We don't really talk about it and it's just been super awkward. But I want him to bring it up. Am I being insane? I know like he wasn't doing too much, but I just don't know what. But I just don't know if I want to be with someone who talks so gross about other girls like that. Should I wait for him to bring it up? Should I just put my phone down and say, fuck this?

I deserve better. Or do I stop acting crazy and just let it go? Please help. By the way, you guys make me look forward to the morning drive to work. Love a California toaster. California toaster. You are not being crazy. Like this is very inappropriate.

This is crazy. This is really tough because when you see that, like when I heard, you know, he's asking her to strip for him. It's like, it's like, it feels like cheating. It is. But it's weird. It's like, it's kind of the same as watching porn but it's like interactive no it's it's completely different no no but like it's not cheating he's not having a relationship with this

person i consider like that oh that girl on only fans has like millions of fans like they're not in any sort of relationship i'm assuming she's popular on only fans but no i'm sorry thousands of fans no this is too much i like i i couldn't i personally could not stand for this um and you know what it's a weird 2020 version no oh my god man watching porn no it's not no seriously don't draw the line there like that you're no stop seriously no there's so many people who use onlyFans. Are they all cheaters? I don't know. You know what? Right?

Like it's, I think. Well, there's a difference between subscribing to an OnlyFans and then engaging with an OnlyFans. Is there really? Yes, yes, yes, yes. But you know what? I feel like this girl's worry

is that like she doesn't want to confront him because she doesn't want him to know that she snooped. But you know what? I feel like a lot of people feel that way where it's like they find something out but they don't want to bring it up because the way they found it out is suspect but it's like sorry that your boyfriend gave you reason to doubt him there's no there's no shame in snooping when you're just trying to like save your relationship because your boyfriend made you feel like

something was wrong it's his fault not yours he led you he forced you to snoop yes also um I would say before you bring it up figure out how you feel about it. You know, because it seems like you're conflicted. You're not sure if what he did is like a deal breaker. And I think for some people it would be. And I think for others it wouldn't. I think for me it would be a deal breaker. I'm not going to lie.

So figure out how you feel about it first. Then take it to him. And also, you don't have to tell him what you did. He's talking about it with his friends. Maybe his friends, loose lips slipped. Like, he's not even being so secretive about it. So you don't even have to, you don't even have to say, like, I went through something. You just be like, I'm not telling you who told me.

Say, I'm not telling you who told me, because then it just takes the onus off of you snooping. No, but you want to know what? The problem, like, this is what's so fucked up about the situation the problem is not that she snooped or how she found out but she obviously the problem is what's going on so let's attack that as much as we're thinking about attacking the route in which she found out who fucking cares okay i agree but i understand i understand what she's saying she doesn't want to like bring herself into the dog house with him for it's like you know in a in a case when the police find evidence but they get it without a warrant they it's immiscible it's inadmissible okay now here's the other thing I thought a lot about what you said about like porn and there is so much free

porn out there that I think paying for it subscribing to it for someone you like admire takes it to a level that's more inappropriate than watching porn on a free website. Agreed. More inappropriate. And then it's like, who wants to marry someone? Honestly, paying for porn is so not economical.

Like there's, that's like paying for serious XM when the morning toast exists. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, no, that's a bad example, but you know what I mean?

It's like, it just, it says a lot about him that he's paying for specific porn because there's very high quality porn out there that's free and it just shows that he's not good with money and I don't know if that's the kind of man you want in your life there's so much going on here that's a whole other issue I would say for to me it's a very big issue but like we can't even figure out like how we really feel about it because it's not as clear-cut as cheating but it's also not as clear-cut as just watching oh i'm sorry maybe i haven't made uh it very clear it's cheating

a hundred by the way and i don't know why you have to put a label on it does make you uncomfortable or not like if ben did this like i would be out the fucking door you don't have to put a label is it cheating this is not how does it make you feel bad or good yeah good stay bad leave it's not gonna make her feel good i'll tell you that well no maybe someone didn't care maybe she wants to get involved on the only fans get her own subscription they can engage together you never know you never know but i would say first figure out how you feel about it then bring it to him um don't worry about the way in which you got it if he focuses on that then he's just deflecting and he can't like have a serious conversation about what's been going on at the beginning of this story i was about to tell you that you were going to get engaged.

Me too! Oh my God. That's so weird. That's always what we think. It's like when you're fiance of five years, everything's going so well. I mean, your boyfriend of five years, everything's going so well.

It starts being secretive. It's like, because you're getting engaged, get excited. Unfortunately, I don't think that's in your future. I don't know if that's... Let me set my crystal ball. You should even want at this point. But wow, this is really... this is a real like 2020 issue. Yep.

And I'd be curious to hear what other people think. And I'd be curious to know whose OnlyFans it was. Because some people's I've heard are worth it, you know? I don't know if it's Chad Johnson's I've heard it's not worth it. But I'm assuming it's a girl. Yeah. Anyways, good luck, my friend. Our third and final, dear toastersasters is an update from last week if you

remember we were written in to um by a girl whose friend was in this debacle where like her toxic ex-fiance ex-boyfriend um was like uh wanting to like reignite but like she was onto her stepbrother yeah so hello to my favorite podcaster shaki and claudia i'm playing catch up on last week's episode and i almost fell over in my kitchen when i heard my dear toasters read aloud on the show i sent that back around easter time so i was not ready to hear it on this episode but i have major updates on my friends stepbrothers slash ex-boyfriend hookup saga they're not real stepbrothers yes their parents are dating yeah oh right it's serena and dan that's what she says okay it's Cher and Josh.

You'll be happy to know that she has officially moved out and moved on from her toxic fiancé, and they have not spoken or seen each other since post-Easter phone sex. However, her stepbrother, a.k.a. Dan to her Serena, her, wow, they are hooking up just about every night now. And something I forgot to mention in the first email is that she is a virgin. That's correct. She and her 41-year-old fiancé of five years had never had sex. By the way, she didn't mention that the fiancé was 41 years old in the first email is that she is a virgin. That's correct. She and her 41-year-old fiance of five years had never had sex.

By the way, she didn't mention that the fiance was 41 years old in the other. I think she said older. Okay. And she wants him

to take her virginity. She's catching big-time feelings and has said that once quarantine is over and they are not living in the same house, she wants to attempt

to pursue an actual relationship but in total secret because she knows it would not fly with the family. She asked me every time we FaceTimed what she should do and I kept saying, I don't think this is a good idea, but the vagina, I mean, the heart wants what it wants. I know Jackie doesn't see the issue so much, thanks to entertainment, but I can't be the only one that thinks a secret relationship with her stepbrother is a good idea. This is moving

way beyond just hooking up because times are tight in the queue, and I'm worried that it'll only get worse. I worry about the weirdness of it all and also my friend getting hurt if this was one of your good friends what would you do slash tell them to do rtk incest is still not best I don't know I just think it's like hard to get a guy no I I actually agree with you like it's it's hard to get a guy in regular times in quarantine it's so much harder and if there's one like literally in your house like who are you to say no to that yeah here's the thing this is what I would advise a friend I would say listen what you're doing is it's a little awkward um nothing wrong with it when you get down to the nitty-gritty to the nitty-gritty but um it's a little it's a little awkward so I would say to her I would say you need to really figure out if like this is a real connection like and a real relationship that you would

really put make everything so weird for the rest of your family in order to pursue if it is that go for it because you know it's hard to find love and the vagina wants what the vagina wants and it really is but if this is you just being bored in quarantine and like making things weird for your family right for the of time, like go somewhere else. Right. That's the thing. It's like if this is true love, like the family will find its way to work around the weirdness. If it's true love and you guys are together forever, this is a beautiful thing for the

family. The families are forever joined. But if she thinks that this is true love and it ends up just being like a good time during quarantine, like spending time with someone, feeling close to someone, and then you made all this weirdness for your family and it didn't even work like a good time during quarantine, like spending time with someone, feeling close to someone, and then you made all this weirdness for your family, and it didn't even work out, like then that's where this becomes really detrimental for your family, for your parents' relationship.

Like it would just be bad. Yeah, and then the virginity piece. Oh, it's... I'm not really attached to virginities. Like just get it over with. I'm not attached to virginities now, but when you are a virgin... Yeah, I guess.

You are... Or most... I mean, I was like attached to virginities now but when you are a virgin yeah I guess you are or most I mean I was like attached to virginity and who's gonna take your virginity and like that's just gonna set you up for the rest of your life yeah no you think it has like lifelong meaning right and now in hindsight it doesn't but um I'm sure that's how she feels but it's crazy to me that she would be engaged for and with someone for five years and and not want to have sex. But then because if you're saving yourself, like why not with your five year fiance in quarantine, like with your brother. Right.

And five years is a long time to be engaged, especially if you're a virgin. It's long normally. But if you're a virgin, it makes something fishy about the story. Yeah. I didn't realize they were engaged for five years. Or they were together for five years and part of that was engaged. Oh, okay. But still, that's a really long time to be with someone and not have sex.

Yeah. And usually, like, if you are waiting for marriage, which is a totally lovely thing to do, things move a little quicker. Yes, but also maybe she just, like, it's just indicative that that fian that that fiance like was not the guy for her right she knew she has met her brother and she's like so comfortable you know there's nothing better than family family forever all right that's dear toasters again if you ever want to write in our email is deartoasters at gmail.com we will always keep it anonymous and we're talking about anything from incest to wedding stuff to whatever you want to talk about um i would like to hear back from that girl whose boyfriend was donating to a sperm bank.
