Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone's having an amazing day. My day started rough already because I woke up with a migraine and doubled down. So I'll start from the beginning. Please. Well, actually, I have to go back to the way beginning if I really want to start. November 6, 1991. Two!

Oh, shit. I get confused because you and Olivia were like, were born, like, the same year, you know? You're trying to age me. No, well, yesterday, I'm, like, committed. I've restarted Atkins. Oh, wow. And so yesterday was my first day. And they do say there is a bit of an induction flu. Yeah, fatigue.

For me, it's a headache. So I went to bed, like, knowing I was going to have a little bit of an Atkins headache. But fine. Like, that's what I deserve after weeks of eating, months of eating poorly. So I actually fell asleep last night at eight 45. Like I was just so tired from the day back and I woke up. So I slept like a whole 12 hours, but I woke up at 6am and I felt a migraine coming on. Well, no, it was there. So I took my, my magical pill. I woke back up at eight o'clock and it was still there, which is not usually what happens with the magical pill. Cause it's magic. So I had to take'clock and it was still there, which is not usually what happens with the magical pill because it's magic.

So I had to take another one and it's like still sort of here. I don't know, this induction flu is, it's worse than before. Well, I'm just feeling disoriented as well because you and I are doing our show about like 45 minutes earlier than we normally do. And that's because our duty as ants just comes first.

We have a big day to take care of today because we are- We're on ant patrol. Yeah, no, but like we're on like unsupervised ant patrol. Olivia and Zach are moving apartments. So like Michaela needs to be just like looked after. And that's like going to be our job for the next 12 hours. And I just think that's very exciting.

Like her brain is like a sponge and it's in our hands. You know, what should we teach her? Yeah, we're going to just show her the way, you know. And that is why, unfortunately, for really me, because you get to see him all the time but that's why Theo's not here today because we're on anti-duty and so like we can only really deal with one of our nibblings at a time and I did recently learn that that's the word for your plural nieces and nephews and I am the queen of the nibblings it very well may be I don't feel comfortable around the word it sounds wrong I know but but that's the word but nibblings the word is don't feel comfortable around the word. It sounds wrong.

I know. But that's the word. Niblings. The word is the word. The word is the word. The word on the street is that I'm the word on the street. And ever since, like Theo used to be my nephew and that was it, period, point blank. And it would always be like in the male.

Right. Pronouns. But because now I have Magnolia and Michaela, I can't keep saying my nieces and nephews because I feel like that's also annoying. You only have so much time in the day. Right. So they are the nibblings. And they're the cutest nibblings I've ever nibbled on. Okay.

And I feel like maybe that's like the cap for the amount of times we say nibblings on the show. Today. Today. Today. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Something I wanted to talk about yesterday that I forgot to talk about is that over the weekend, I finally watched Bad Teacher. Give it up. It's Bad Teacher. Give it up. It's on Netflix. Give it up for the content upper. And last night, I watched two more episodes of A Place to Call Home. It's definitely growing on me, like the Dachau of it all. Like, I didn't see that.

It's so deep. Like, I didn't see that coming for myself. I just, I don't want to say anything because I want you to experience it in the way that Bevan Lee intended. Who's Bevan Lee? The writer. Her name comes up at the end of it or his. I think it's a he. His name comes up at the end of every episode. I'm like, I know I'm not really paying attention, but there's no characters named Bevan Lee.

But really quick, back to Bad Teacher. I had forgotten who was in the cast. And to be honest, when I saw that like Justin Timberlake was a sort of main character, I called you because, you know, there is a special corner of my heart for the hatred of Justin Timberlake was a sort of main character I called you because you know there is a special corner of my heart for the hatred of Justin Timberlake like it's a really special special time for me and I think that he ruins movies like and it's an it's amazing that that movie Friends with Benefits is as good as it is and I give it all the credit to Mila Kunis because Justin Timberlake is the worst like he's the worst in singing like I know I'm offending we we like always fucking rail on Justin Timberlake. But I stand by the statements.

And I think that he's a terrible actor. And like him with his fake glasses in the movie, like he was just bothering me so much. And I couldn't believe that one of your favorite movies had Justin Timberlake in it. Like it made no sense. And he definitely didn't bother me because you're supposed to hate him in the movie. Whereas like in Friends with Benefits, you're supposed to be like, oh my God, ship him and Mila. When it's like, no, Mila could do better you know yeah um so I understood and the appearance

and the mere presence of Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel like truly does outweigh um Justin Timberlake's presence maybe I love the movie so much because the only person who hates Justin Timberlake more than you is me yeah and I love the movie because like it really sees Justin Timberlake in the place that he deserves to be like weenie land disrespect weenie land yeah the disrespect on his name like is there yeah and maybe I just a part of me feels so justified or maybe conversely maybe my hatred of Justin Timberlake comes from my love of Bad Teacher because like his character maybe is so intrinsically tied to what's his name? But he's not that good of an actor. No. Oh LeCoultre. The watch. Yeah. No but what's his name? Oh I have no idea. Mr. I don't know like he's such a weenie. Such a weenie. Now if I may dive into like a few critiques of the film. Sure. I didn't feel like there was

enough of like a really developed storyline in terms of the love between Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz like we knew they were gonna end up together but like honestly she was like kind of me Tim the whole time and like I didn't feel like I feel like I could have developed that a little bit more I really feel that way um the other way that I feel is that it was good like I it was very it was like a very good movie to watch on a Saturday but like I don't know if I could ever get in the mindset of someone whose favorite movie it is, you know? Okay. I just, it took a while for it to become my, for me to realize that it was a favorite movie

of mine. But what would happen is I would watch it, like, you know, it's on E or whatever. And every time I put it on, like it brought a laugh, it brought a smile to my face. And then I always could count on it for that and then it just became a favorite movie like yeah the first time I saw it I wasn't like oh my god this is my favorite movie of all time but just like the joy that it brings me has solidified that it is a favorite movie I feel like you know part of growing up and being an adult is identifying those movies experiences that just like bring you joy and like weirdly make you laugh and investing

more in them you know what i just i watched the other night because it was on but i only watched maybe 20 minutes and i had two hearty laughs like literally i was laughing for minutes after cheaper by the dozen sensational sensational movie they're on um disney plus me and ben recently actually i think i need to watch them both from start to finish because i was watching the first one and the scene where the kids like take like they make hank fall ashton kutcher fall in the water and then they have to take his clothes and put them in the dryer for the dog plan and the daughter is like one of the twins is like sorry about your pants hank they'll be dry in no time and ashton kutcher goes sorry about your pants they'll be drying no time it's literally

the best movie i was literally laughing so hard because like that's the things that that's what like that's our we always do that with each other like yes and it makes me laugh every single sorry about panting but my one critique of cheaper by the dozen is the original movie it's one of those movies where everything goes wrong. Like when she goes on her book tour and like literally her kids just can't behave for one fucking minute because she finally published a book. She's been working on the farm on the book for so fucking long. She finally gets published and goes to New York and she has to come home because her kids are acting insane. And then Oprah's going to come to the house and the kids can't keep it together.

Like, yeah, it's one of those movies where nothing goes right. And like that bothers me a lot. But if you can look past that, it's really such a good movie it's such a good movie i'm gonna have to watch i was literally laughing like for minutes after just thinking about it it's on disney plus okay that will be i have to add that sequel i know i have to add it to my long list of things on my plate last night i tried to finish wild wild country again i stand by the fact that it's a terribly done documentary because it makes an incredible story incredibly boring but i am on the last episode but then I fell asleep. So I'll hopefully finish that today.

Got to get Mariah Carey's book done. Redhead's episode coming up soon. Have you seen Luis Velez? The reviews so far are wonderful. So it's just an exciting time always to be a redhead. And it's always the perfect time to be a redhead. And it's never too late. And it's never a bad time.

And it's never too late. We misspoke yesterday. I thought that The Bachelorette was on last night, but you know what? I really was surprised and joyful that it wasn't. It is on tonight,

so we will be recapping it tomorrow. Sorry that I misspoke yesterday, but when it was like 6 o'clock and I was looking at my TV guide and it wasn't on there, I was just like truly overjoyed. Yeah, so today's episode won't be Afterdale.

Tomorrow we'll have our Afterdale tomorrow. We'll, we'll have our after Dale recap show, but today we'll have a nice quick show for you. Fast five, everything else. Anything you wanted to say before we dive in? No, no other TV that I watch. So I guess we could just dive right in. I guess there's no time like the present to get into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

controlled way to get the message out i feel like that's what we've been saying all along you know like keeping up has always been like delayed from reality reality as it's happening in real time but like I've come to like that for me like I feel like we get the immediate reaction on social media but then three to four months later when it's not as like there's not as much at stake we get to know what was really going on I agree that kind of balance never bothered me but I do understand how it affects a show's rating because not everyone is unbothered by it and not everyone is so interested in the intricacies four months after it's gone down right and I've always felt that they maybe could have done a better job in turning things around like if you can get Love Island episodes out every day I don't know why

the Kardashians couldn't be doing a reality show in real time I actually think that would be so sick if like every week it was literally the week in the life of the Kardashians. But the show's over, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, I think that that would, I hear what you're saying, like for other shows that they should be quicker turnaround. I think, you know,

maybe they could have gotten it down to like one month or two months, but like a real time week like that, they've already, they're past that in terms of having to give that much up of themselves. You know what I mean? Oh, of course.

Like that's for hustlers. It's not going to be their family right now because they don't need it. But that actually is, like, an interesting format. Yeah, like, someone else who's on the up and up should do that because, like... It's what people want. You might get out what you put into it,

but, like, they've already gotten out. They don't have to work that hard. Speaking of the Kardashians, the new season of David Letterman's My Next Guest Is was announced. Kim Kardashian's on it, and she cries, apparently. I think it's about Paris Paris because he talks about Paris. Not Hilton, the city.

Dave Chappelle is on it. Lizzo's on it. Robert Downey Jr. who like I don't really care about. But I'm very much looking forward to Dave Chappelle, Lizzo and Kim Kardashian. Oh yeah, me too. I had seen that Kim is on it. You know, my Kim Google alert went off. Yesterday was a big day for Kim because she was talking about a lot of stuff in her interview that I don't think she's ever spoken about

and I've watched a few of those David Letterman episodes I watched the Kanye one last season and I know that he is allegedly like a world-renowned interviewer but like I was just like not vibing with him at all like whatsoever and so the guests are really like some of the most famous people in the world like I really hope not to critique his interviewing style. It's just like not how I enjoy like watching interviews. I found it like a little annoying and he was like talking over people and just like didn't really understand what the people were talking about. You know, I don't know if I'm making sense now, but it's the David Letterman rubbing

off on me. But you only saw the one Kanye one. And I saw one more on the first season. I can't remember who someone's car alarm was going off outside and I'm literally about to open the window and be like shut the fuck up drop a rock on the car that's what the problem with outdoor dining is in New York it's gone outdoor dining like I literally was sitting in a restaurant and the car next to me was literally going off and the owner was absolutely nowhere to be found I like would lose my mind

yeah it's it's that sound will make you go crazy because then you'll hear phantom sounds. And I'm like, I still hear it. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm blessed to have it turned off. But like, if I was having dinner next to it.

Oh my God, it was traumatizing. No, but also I just saw a story in page six that Kim is allegedly planning her 40th birthday party on a private island for 30 of her closest family and friends. Oh my god, I can't believe that's not gonna be me. I know. I'm so upset. But that will be like so exciting to watch unfold on social media. I can't believe Kim is 40. I know. That's something I feel like we speak

about pretty frequently. I always forget how old, not old, but like that the Kardashians aren't like 25, you know? They're 40. Kourtney's 40 already. Kourtney, Kim is turning 40. Khloe's like 33. Oh, yeah. No, I think she's like 37, 38. You know, it's just like, I always forget that. Yeah. No, I always remember.

But that makes what they're doing like even more impressive because they're so relevant. And I think that they're, you know, changing what it means to be a woman in their 40s. Oh, 100%. Khloe's 36. Yeah, I definitely, they change. they're you know changing what it means to be a woman in their 40s I oh a hundred percent Chloe's 36 yeah I definitely um they change like I could literally talk about them all day and what they've done for society like I think they've changed what it means to be a woman in your 40s I think they've changed you know what it means to be a curvy woman like I think they've literally changed the frontier of beauty science fiction like literally fucking everything. Yeah, I agree. Okay, next story. Some sad news about a man that we love.

Jeff Bridges reveals he has been diagnosed with lymphoma and is starting treatment. This is a fucking terrible story. I love Jeff Bridges. Love him. And you know who loves Jeff Bridges? America. And we never have needed someone we can all like agree on more. We've never needed that more.

Yeah, the Oscar winner revealed the news on Monday night on his Twitter account writing, as the dude would say, new shit has come to light. I've been diagnosed with lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good. I'm starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery. So, I mean, it's so upsetting. It's very upsetting, but our prayers and well wishes are with him. And I think he has the support of so many behind him. And I hope that he has a speedy recovery. I really do. Okay.

On the count of three, say your favorite Jeff Bridges movie without thinking. Three, two, one. Stick it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if everyone would consider like the gymnastics rom-com that he did like weirdly 15 years ago. Um, their favorite Jeff

Bridges movie because I know he's been in a lot of like important films but Stick It is you know what that's on the list of content uppers we need to really create a master list like a google doc between us just because we keep remembering here's my master list Stick It yours is Bad Teacher I think Queen Latifah's Beauty Shop is a must to be on there she's the man oh yeah she's the man she's the man that's good too but She's the Man. Oh, also Queen Latifah's Just Right

is also a great movie. Common's in it. Oh, and also Last Holiday. Okay, literally, just Queen Latifah's like catalog of films.

Yeah, Hairspray. Hairspray is a content uproar even though it's like kind of a sad movie because it like deals with serious issues. It's still like the music is,

it's impossible not to dance to. No, and also like by the end you are up. Yeah, because you're on the right side of history yeah i would put greatest showman on there too you know i have to have a viewing of greatest showman soon i think it's been like a year since i last watched it high school musical oh yes twilight we'll make a list yeah i'll put it on our instagram but these are the jeff bridges movies that are most popular big lebowski crazy heart true grit hell or high water iron man tron starman sea biscuit you know what's These are the Jeff Bridges movies that are most popular. Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, True Grit, Hell or High Water, Iron Man, Tron, Starman, Seabiscuit. You know what's funny?

Is like I was like I'm so I love Jeff Bridges so much. And besides Seabiscuit, I've not seen one of those movies. I know me too. But no, like we need to get to the ones. We also need to watch. That are like less popular because those are the ones that we like. We also I think like need to watch the Big Lebowski. I think it's like an important movie. Oh, you think so? There's a few movies that like. We also, I think, need to watch The Big Lebowski. I think it's an important movie.

Oh, you think so? There's a few movies that I've never seen that I think I need to. Saving Private Ryan, The Big Lebowski, the one where Tom Hanks falls in love with the volleyball in the ocean, Wilson. Castaway. Castaway. Those are three movies I've never seen.

I think I've seen Castaway. And I just feel like you need to see them, and I will see them at some point. But I kind of like being the girl who's like never seen the big Lebowski you know I've never seen it I've never feel felt compelled to see it and I don't think I ever will see it what were the other movies um oh my god there's so many out now I'm on his IMDB but I'm trying to find the ones that we like like the stick it genre yeah tickets so good I feel like stick It isn't even on his IMDb, I swear.

He probably like had it scrubbed because he was embarrassed. Kingsman the Golden Circle. Oh. Oh yeah, he's part of the Kentucky crew. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's great in that. Love Kingsman.

That's also a content upper. Oh, for sure. When is the sequel coming out? I don't know. I hope that they wait till. It's the third. Oh yeah. I hope that they wait till theaters are open because I feel like the Kingsman is a movie that is so much better experienced in a

like formal movie theater. Yeah, I agree. Well, Jeff Bridges, we love you. We're wishing you are, we're sending our best energy out there.

We just, we know you're going to get through this because it's not called gymnastics. No, it's definitely not called gymnastics. Um, okay. Our next story is a followup to yesterday's story because we're getting a little bit of more answers

and more questions about the Zoey 101 reunion, reboot, new song, and also just like a website that you register for. Right. Also, I would like to thank all the toasters who wrote us in sharing their ideas for what the reboot could be. And I would say one of my favorites was, you know, the school's shutting down. Like they ran out of funds or like there's no one to run it and Zoe and the crew like get back together

to get the school back on track okay I like that idea but like I think PCA is like probably like the wealthiest school you know it's like so fully funded the one that I liked the most was that they go back for the time capsule because it has been 10 years yes that's probably that probably is what they're doing okay no it's actually not what they're doing And it's extremely confusing Also in addition to Chantal Jeffries Like all these other TikTokers

Influencers Noah Beck Lauren Gray Charlie D'Amelio The D'Amelios Jojo Siwa Harry Jousey from That's the weirdest one

Yeah So Jamie Lynn Spears posted a longer clip. Caption, surprise, finally, the legacy continues. The follow me,

Zoe 101, see it first experience. 1025 link in bio for tickets. The website, for the confusingly and long-windedly titled. What type of reunion special needs tickets? It's an experience. They're selling $20 tickets,

which include admission and the single digital download, as well as bundle packs, including both the admission ticket and merchandise, ranging from autographed CDs to VIP Zoom access. The digital event, whatever it is, says New York Post, is set to take place Sunday at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Welcome to campus. Come join us, is what they say.

This is very strange and seems like kind of tacky to be like selling tickets and merch for nickelodeon so this is what i think it is because it's still unclear and even though we've just gotten more answers we've gotten more questions yeah i think it's a zoom yeah the cast joins and like gets all zoomy and zoey and people can buy tickets to watch watch that i don't think it's any sort of formal reboot. Like we were asking, wishing and praying for. And then I guess like the new influencers are coming in to, you know, make it influence relevant.

And I think Chantal Jeffries worked on the new theme song. I think that's the biggest thing is that they did a redo of the theme song, which we sang for you yesterday beautifully. And I think that that's the redo that they should be selling, but that's just me. Chantel Jeffries is a DJ. Yeah. In addition to being an Instagram girl.

Yeah. And she's eating the chain smoker. Is she? Is what I saw on her Instagram yesterday. Yes. Wow. Girl's a lot of boyfriends. I'm happy for her.

I'm a little jealous. Yeah, she has good taste too. Excellent taste. I agree. The other thing I wanted to say is yesterday I did warn you on the show that Paul Butcher, who played Dustin, her little brother, was really acting out on TikTok. And I posted some of the TikToks on our Instagram. And I wanted to know what you thought of that. What was that reaction? How did you feel? My reaction was utter shock and also shock and it's hard to say i was truly rendered speechless because

i know that you told us about it i did i warned you but you didn't like you really didn't say i didn't say i didn't you didn't warn us you didn't warn us you didn't warn me that you would be posting two of them well you know what they and i looked into it i just he's like one of the maybe five people who is always going to be a little brother you know yes there's some people who just never grow up to see a little brother posting sexual tiktoks like that it's really shocking you know and then i looked how up how old he is and he's your age he's 26 how would you feel if Zoey 101's little brother was your age? I thought it was you walking through the door. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Baylen. Chetney. No, I know. I just, I thought it was important that the world see those TikToks. And I'm sorry that you were kind of collateral in that. But that's the job I chose to do.

And I don't think it would be right if I didn't do it 100%, 100% of the time. And I don't think he's involved in this reboot. I do. And no, I don't, I didn't see his name. Oh, I do. Because all the castmates have been making TikToks with him. Oh, really? Yeah.

Okay. But his name wasn't in the official like tags, Paul. I'm not seeing a Paul. Oh, that's crazy. I feel like he doesn't want to be America's little brother anymore. No, not big brother now. No,

he's daddy. Jackie, that's daddy to you. But no, by the way, his TikTok is very like Zoe. In addition to being pornographic, it's also very Zoe 101 friendly.

Like he's always like harking back to his past. I think the two of those are inherently conflicting. I couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. Inherently. Inherently. Is the next story the one brought to you by stamps.com? It is.

So let me just wrap up this one. Thank God I was so nervous. So that we can get to that one. So in conclusion, Zoe 101, reboot question mark, October 25th, like link in bio. If anyone gets the tickets, like let us know. It's exciting nonetheless, but confusing. I feel more confused than I did yesterday.

More confusing. But maybe I can help you with that because, Jackie, it's the holiday season. And this holiday season, more people will be mailing stuff than ever before.

Next story. In some casting news that I personally don't agree with, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Okay. Dominic West. Ugh. Him again. Sicko.

Has been tapped, potentially not confirmed, to play Prince Charles in The Crown. Oh, no. No. No The Crown oh no no no no no no no no no no no wrong wait no is Dominic West isn't British right like or is he I don't know because in the affair he's not but like he very well could be first of all what I love about the affair I mean not the affair the crown is that their casting is really on point and it's never with mega stars who like look like Princess Anna it's always kind of like smaller British um actors and actresses and it just makes it more believable because you're not like oh that's the guy from the affair playing

Prince Charles it's just I feel a few I would say. Like Olivia Colman is... I didn't know her before. Oh, okay. Helena Bonham Carter. Oh, yes. And you know what? She's the only one I can't believe. I'm like, you're from Tim Burton or whatever.

Yeah, totally. I feel the same way. I don't know what she does, but I know she's not... Tim Burton-y. Yeah, she's Tim Burton. I think she was actually married to Tim Burton, right? I think she might have been. I think she's his muse.

I think so, too. You know what I mean? So it's just like I hate this. And also I'm like hating Dominic West now because like his messy Lily James like public shithole show is really bothering me. And I just think like honestly, the crown is so above that.

And you know what? He might've had the role and I feel like he could have lost it given what happened this week because the crown doesn't want to be associated with trash like that. I agree with everything you just said. And I just want to add I think my my primary point for why I'm against his casting is he doesn't look like Prince Charles oh of course I mean once you

get and just looking at him will be distracting because I'll be like oh I fucking hate you from the affair the worst show I ever watched oh I liked the affair the worst show and he was one of the worst characters in like television history and so I don't want to see that fudge in my viewing of the crown like the crown is my safe space and I need to get him out of here wait can I ask you a question so he's supposed to play the next Prince Charles yes but the season that's coming out November is already filmed with like a young-ish Prince Charles when he's married to Diana right and so they're looking for like an older one? Yes, seasons five and six. So he's probably what, like 50 and 60?

No, no, I think he's like, it's the 90s and the early 2000s. Oh, so it's still like the Diana stuff. It is. It would be covering his split from Diana, which would be after like they've had children. And so it'd probably be a new Diana and his explosive affair with Camilla Parker Bowles right okay um but it's final talks that

he's in to play Prince Charles in seasons five and six of Netflix's smash hit royal drama The Crown I do hope that um no like I don't I hate to like root for someone's failure but it's not a failure that I'm rooting for I just hope that he doesn't get this part you know i hope he gets the next part that he's going after a bigger one i hope the other person who's in final talks gets this part no and i hope that this podcast like lands on the desk of someone who's important at netflix because i feel like this is a huge mistake and like if you could know that like we're like a focus group and i'm telling you i know we're right about this like if you could avoid ruining an almost perfect show just by listening to some dumb podcast like I implore you please send this to your boss at Netflix like please do not cast Dominic West like I'm begging you and also like aside from our

personal opinions aside he doesn't look like Prince Charles agreed and there's some and like also I feel like he probably is British now that I'm thinking about it I don't think they would cast an American like that honestly no I, I feel like it's very true. Yeah, I could see him being British. And now I'm thinking about the way he talked as Noah. And he was always like talking a little weird. So he definitely is British. And he was also just with Lily James in London.

He's totally British. Yeah. Please just don't. It would be a disgrace to the legacy of the crown, the show and the actual crown. It would be a disgrace to Queen Elizabeth to have herself associated with a show like The Affair. I agree. You know?

So unfortunately, it's going to be a no from us. But we look forward to seeing what you do with the casting. Yeah, we do. Okay, our fifth and final story is a little Zoom masturbation news. This is such a weird story. It was all over my Twitter yesterday. Such a crazy story. Jeffrey Toobin was masturbating

in front of New Yorker bigwigs, the report says. Okay, I just have to say, this article is so misleading because I, for like the longest time, thought it was Jeffrey Tobin. It's two O's. No, but the actor from Arrested from um arrested development no no he's not from

arrested development yeah jeffrey tobin is that his name i don't think it's tobin i thought it was jeffrey jeffrey taban tambor tambor yeah yeah yeah okay he's like from everything he was in an entourage i literally thought that this was about him and i'm like this guy's disgusting this is not about him this is about the new yorker writer and cnn analyst jeffrey tubin who didn't just expose himself during a zoom work meeting he was allegedly caught masturbating in the call with some of the magazine's biggest names and has been suspended from the publication he said i made an embarrassingly stupid mistake believing i was off camera i believed i was not visible on zoom i thought no one on the zoom call could see me i thought i had muted the zoom video i apologize to my wife family friends and co-workers so when i i mean this is like everyone's worst

nightmare first of all and when i read the article it was my understanding that like he was on a zoom and then he put his like um laptop screen like down a little bit like almost closing the computer which directed the camera to his genital area. And people on the call like weren't sure whether he was like, he got caught by accident or he had moved the camera to show his penis. Like, which is so disgusting. Honestly, you know what I think it was?

I think he probably thought by putting the camera down, like he was turning it off. Like, yeah, this is like an old person Zoom, like Zoom dilemma. Yeah, well, to be honest, I mean i mean justice for everyone else in the zoom it said two sources said that at one point it looked as if tubin was taking another call and lowered his camera and that's when they saw him getting to work on himself it was unclear what if anything others on the virtual call saw so i think what happened was like he was getting a call probably like facetime like

about to have facetime sex and so he lowered his computer camera so that was, like, he was getting a call, probably, like, FaceTime, like, about to have FaceTime sex. And so he lowered his computer camera so that they wouldn't see he was on another call. Right. Not realizing that the other thing he was about to do was so much worse than him looking disrespectful on another call. That's the other thing. Well, also, if he got a FaceTime call, he has a wife. So...

Right. It's, like, cheating. That's why he apologized to his wife as well. Got it. I mean... Or maybe he was just, like, pulling up a video on his phone I don't know either way like it just seems strange to me that like you know there's so in quarantine like we're spending so much time at home there's so much time to masturbate like why do it when you're like in the middle of a call

you know that's kind of weird you know it's beyond weird um also like if you are gonna masturbate on a zoom call I would just recommend that like like, you are extremely careful about, like, making sure your camera and your microphone are off. Maybe, like, you know, I just think that would be step one. Well, that has become my favorite TikTok trend is, like, college students who are working remotely, like, sharing them accidentally and, like, not realizing their mic was on. Because when you're in, like, a Zoom with 300 people, everyone's mic is supposed to be off except the teacher. So, like, everyone's, like, probably in their bedroom, like, talking to their everyone's like probably in their bedroom like talking to their friends on their phone like talking to their parents and it's so funny to see people who realize that their mics are on because it's like the teacher's

assigning homework and like this girl literally puts her hand over her eyes and just like screams into her hands and she didn't know that her mic was on it's so funny it's literally my favorite tiktok trend of like and if that's what comes out of like college students having to study from home like i'm okay with that yeah Yeah. But it's also like, yeah, I've seen some where like people go to the bathroom and yeah, well those are fucking disgusting. Like I don't want to see that, but kids like when you really think that, or also like I saw this one this morning where you're all the sorority stuff is like now being done via zoom, like bid day or whatever. I don't know. I wasn't in a sorority and it was like, this girl is on a zoom and she thinks she's on mute. And she's like

sending a Snapchat to her friends. And she's like, guys, it's like big little association day. And like, I literally hate my big, and obviously she was not on zoom and like her bit, she wasn't on mute and her big literally heard everything. It's so funny. It's, it's a real problem. I've thankfully never experienced. It's also sad when no one turns their mic on like remember when Snitch was posting those TikToks Snitch was posting these TikToks of like teachers teaching on Zoom and like everybody's camera and mic are off and the teacher is literally talking to no one because you know that the kids aren't paying attention it's so sad it's so sad I think everything about like Zoom learning is sad to me and it's like or you're getting to see someone

masturbate yeah also why are these our options not interested no I agree like why are these our options these teachers who like it's probably hard for them to figure out like the remote learning the technology their kids are probably helping them just to get on a zoom with 300 people and like literally have nobody respond to you but like I actually it makes me want to cry like it's so sad like if you're a college student and you listen to this like every now and then just like go off mute and be like okay cool you know like right yeah like one of those you know yeah or it should be like mandatory to have your camera on and then knowing that your camera's on like try

not to masturbate um in front of your co-workers it's so sad i'm like we gotta get the kids back in school for the sake of the teachers yeah for the counselors and for the campers. It's so upsetting. Like these TikToks, like they're, I think they're meant to be funny, but like, is it normal that I'm in my bed like sobbing? No, it's, it's so sad. It's so sad. Just, just respect your teachers, you guys. Respect your teachers and respect your coworkers.

And don't masturbate on Zoom. And don't masturbate, yeah. And that, those are the best five stories that you need to know. And I feel as though you needed to know them. I felt like they were good, like, and robust. Yeah, quite robust. Yeah. So.

There was no TV on, so no TV recap. I'm remiss to let this show come to an end. Well, actually. But our aunt duties. I'm remiss to let the show come to an end. But our aunt duties, like, are so important. And we're really so excited. But also.

Oh, the show's not coming to an end. The show's not coming to an end. Because we have a special interview right after this for for our podcast listeners if you're watching on youtube head over to the podcast because we're talking to Craig Conover from Southern Charm he's such a nice boy I love him so much like and his sewing company like really took off we talk a lot about it um and I actually feel like he's getting justice because when he started sewing like everyone made fun of him like his friends the show Andy, like it was like a joke. And now he has like a legit partnership.

He's like a whole line of merch and I'm really happy for him. So it's really interesting to hear him talk about like the comeuppance of sewing down south. And as Craig stands, like from the beginning, it's, it feels nice for us too. It's like, what's the word? Is it retribution?

No, it's like vindication. Something like that. Yes. You know what we like to call it? Justice. That, it's like vindication. Something like that. Yes. You know what we like to call it? Justice. There's only one word. Like, I don't know why we're circling the drain. Plain old justice.

We are so excited to be sitting down with someone we speak very highly of here, very frequently here at The Morning Toast. He is, you know him from Southern Charm. He is the seamstress of your dreams.

It is Craig Conover. Hi, Craig. What's up, y'all is the seamstress of your dreams. It is Craig Conover. Hi, Craig. What's up, y'all? How you doing? Good, good. It's great to see you guys again. I think it's been probably over a year since we, well, no, was it BravoCon?

Or whenever your release was, your song release. Oh, yeah. Oh, true. I forgot that. Over a year. I forgot that it was just weird timing that the entire cast of Southern Charm was at my song release party. That was fun. I forgot that. I forgot that it was just weird timing that the entire cast of Southern charm was at my song release party. That was fun. That's right. I guess we were there for the

reunion. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Yeah. Um, and that we're not supposed to talk about. And then we go and hang out with you guys. Yeah. And we're like, what happened? Um, Craig, where are you calling us from? Are you in Charleston? I'm in Charleston, South Carolina. We have been, it's been interesting down here, but it's been, it's been okay. It's been good. We've been open for a decent amount of time. So yeah, I'm down here and the summer heat has finally worn off and it's, it's really, it's really nice. How about you guys? We're in New York.

We were here for the most of quarantine. Were you quarantined in Charleston for most of the lockdown? Yeah. Yeah, I was here. So we had a good group down here. Obviously, it hit right in the middle of filming season seven. So you'll get to see a lot of that on the upcoming season. But yeah, it was, it was interesting, you know,

cause we were, we were live when everything, like when that first, like, you know, everything happened and no one knew what was going to happen. So they were like, well, I guess we're shutting down. I guess we're going home. And it was funny because some friends in scripted TV, you know, messaged me like a month in and they were like, has anyone told you guys what's going on?

And, you know, everyone was kind of on the same playing field. Did you just say season 11? What? Did you say season 11 of Southern Charm? Seven. Oh, I'm like, I am not that old. Yeah. That's still so crazy. And you've been on for so long. And by the way, I feel like of all the people who, you know, a lot of people really made the best of their time in quarantine. They, you know, started hobbies, they worked out. I feel like the pillow business was probably

thriving in quarantine. Would you agree? Yeah, we, you know, everyone was spending more time at home and they wanted to, you know, spruce up their living quarters. And what a better way to do that than pillows. So, you know, we had this, you know, we had this awesome line with Thomasville that we were about to launch, right? Basically, we were supposed to launch it in March at high point, um, in North Carolina, the furniture market. But because of that, then we kind of pivoted into mask. Um, you know, I was like, this might become a thing. And if it does become a thing, it's going to become another accessory that you have every day. Um,

and so we did well with that. So that was good. But now we're back into pillows. But yeah, people, you know, we did okay. We were fortunate. In your process of pillow making, what do you think goes into like the perfect fabric? Is it feel?

Is it aesthetic? What do you think is the perfect formula for the pillow that's just right? Or is it what's on the inside that matters most? Very good question. Well, it does actually. They go side by side or hand in hand, whatever it's called. But it really does because I think, so my gut reaction to that question is it's definitely a feel to the touch

that is both soft but has firm structure so that it's not just a flimsy. I don't like a flimsy piece of fabric. I like something with some structure that can stand up on its own. But when you touch it, you still kind of want to rub your cheek against it. And then the inside is really important too. And we actually have three different inserts. So we have a standard insert and then a slightly elevated insert and then a premium insert. Actually, a lot of interior decorators are now coming to us for their inserts, which is funny.

Oh, wow. And then that's important because then you can actually lay on them on the couch and get comfy, which that's why you need the soft fabric on your face. So, yeah, a little bit of everything and which of your um southern charm cast mates has the most pillows from sewing down south in their house who's the most supportive i would say cameron cameron probably has the most and then shep and austin's parents have a bunch um so they both have one or two in their own houses but every time i give them a pillow, they end up, their parents end up, you know, that's great. That's fabulous. Okay. Let's talk season seven, Southern charm. You stopped filming midway for COVID. Um, but then you picked back up. How did that work? Uh, kind of like every, you know, we'll you, you'll get to see, you know,

it was pretty consistent, you know, throughout we did what, you'll get to see, you know, it was pretty consistent, you know, throughout, we did what we could throughout quarantine. Um, and then when people started to figure out how to do, you know, skeleton crews or safely start filming again, and, um, we started filming again. So there's a lot that I can't, I can't wait to talk to you guys about but there's the whole that process in itself was really funny because yeah and you'll see that on the season because everyone was flying blind and there's some stuff that happens when they finally give us the green light that um in classic like southern charm fashion you know we don't make it

easy the easiest on ourselves so it's oh i'm sure this is also the first season without naomi do you think that's gonna does it impact you at all uh no i mean you know we don't have naomi or chelsea um or cam i think you know cam was the the bummer for me but um you know Naomi is doing her own thing which is good we had we saw each other two weeks ago and had an awesome we talked for like 10 20 minutes at this party we were at and it uh it was really nice you know she's that's great she's got a lot on her plate after her father's passing. And she seems happier. Sometimes I have an opinion on people that, you know, leave shows or aren't coming back or whatever.

But hers, I think, is fine. And, you know, she's got other stuff to focus on. So it's definitely a new, this season's definitely a new kind of dynamic and a refresher on, you know, all of – it was great what we had, but this is kind of like – Reset. Yeah. It's just there's some new element.

And we have Madison as a full-time castmate now. We love Madison. We do. Do you? I mean, so I – so Madison and I have been friends for let's see over 10 years yeah almost 10 years um so I knew Madison before everyone else which is funny and we have a lot of history so I was with her um you know when she was going through her first divorce and then I had you know she dated one of my childhood best friends for like two years. So me and Naomi and her and my buddy Josh used to travel together.

And, you know, now she has everything with Austin. But what's funny is her and I have actually like we've never been mad at each other. So I have an opinion on, you know, her relationships and stuff stuff like that which we have an amazing talk um this year um we really everyone really brought it um the second half it was pretty great and the first half's really good too but yeah Madison and I are fine I mean I you know we can talk to each other like sister brother because and I'm kind of one of the only ones she can't bullshit so when i like actually talk to her she listens and vice versa but yeah i i'm i mean i'm friends with madison and i will always be close uh a quick question about sewing

down south because now your company really is blowing up you have this thomas phil partnership um do we get to see the ins and outs of the business? You know, because the last memory I have of Southern Charm featuring your business was your assistant, like trying to wake you up and like you couldn't get downstairs from the house and it wasn't the best, you know, face of the brand, if I'm not, if I'm going to lie. So do we see kind of the intricacies more in depth this season? And the fruits of your labor. labor right because you work hard yeah we know you do like your pillows are being churned out for a while I feel like you were making them all by yourself but the show kind of like did it in a joking way but now it's kind of more serious legit

right so this will be the first season of Southern Charm where I'm actually I guess successfully doing anything so it's it's a brand new dynamic which I'm really excited about and yes you will so you know we had there was about a year um between filming from season six and season seven and during that year um it was almost a blessing because it allowed me to focus solely on sewing down south and so by the time cameras came back you know we were kind of thriving in a great way and so yes this year you'll get to see a lot of the hsn partnership um oh wow which was really exciting uh and uh me trying to figure out how to do a live broadcast from my you know during covid i mean. I mean, it was, it was a, it was an honor.

Like it was a dream come true working with them though, which is really cool. And it's going to be something that, it wasn't a one-time thing, which is great. That's fabulous. Well, we've been Craig fans since season one. So we're excited to see your comeuppance this season. The fruits of your labor i feel like you know you're getting your justice so sewing down south is a it's a it's

an american institution it is we're excited to watch that all you know for years yeah i mean people really did love to shit on anything i was doing yeah on everything i was doing and everything I was doing. And it's cool to be, you know, it's almost not even a discussion where it's just people have, they were like, somehow he pulled it off and it's a thing. And, um, you know, everyone else on, you know, in my life and on the show respect it now in a good way because they're just like, yeah, we were wrong. We're wrong we're eating crow and um so it's fun so you'll see me kind of trying to help my fellow cast mates do their stuff now that you

know i've kind of done the student becomes the teacher exactly but everything i've said on the show usually becomes true all of my theories about whit Whitney and Catherine. True. Oh, true. Wait, Craig, literally, you're so right. We were literally watching maybe like four seasons ago last week, and you were truly the only one on the right side of history, and you're on the right side of history with your pillows and with the whole Catherine Thomas debacle. We just wanted to put that out there on the record. Yeah, we see.

We've been on the Craig train for the last... Seven seasons. Seven seasons. We're so happy to see you thriving so happy to see your sewing down south just blowing up um can you tell everyone where they could shop where they could see the new styles yeah so if you look at my instagram um ca conover or sewing down south instagram which is just sewing down south you'll see all of our new shots, all of our new products.
