Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Wednesday hump day. Sorry, this is like the third hump day in a row Theo hasn't been here, but I'm recording my audiobook after the show today, so I could not bring Theo because I'm a busy author. That's true, and I guess that means, spoiler alert, Theo won't be on the audiobook. I don't know. I wouldn't, you know, I wouldn't say anything so crazy. I wouldn't rule anything out. No, you know what? What happens in the booth doesn't stay in the booth. And I just will say, if you wanted to do a dog audiobook,

I know one boy who would listen to it. It would go something like this. Bruno Sweets. Done. Arf with no job. Arf with no job. We have a big-ass, juicy- ass, juicy double show for you today. It's Wednesday, which means we have our famous, our beloved advice segment, Dear Toasters,

You know that Bruno Sweets like keeps me on my toes all damn day long. on it true you know that bruno sweets like keeps me on my toes all damn day long um but i just like had so much going on i went to the live method yesterday and something so sad happened to me you fell worse oh i banged my head oh shit that's the fucking worst and there's no bruising or anything but like it hurts to the touch and it was internal bleeding it was just so embarrassing yeah like it hurt it hurt but like it wasn't blinding pain so I was doing sit-ups while I held a kettlebell

and every time I sat up I had to put the bell up and on one of the ones up it just like a kettlebell that like weighs 50 pounds you think you have a concussion they have different weighted kettlebells do you think you have a concussion no I don't because it didn't hurt that badly but it was just like the shock of the pain and the embarrassment like I was just like to Matt like I need a second I just went in a single tear a single tear streamed down my face but I don't think anyone saw that's the thing about like hurting yourself in public the humiliation and the shame hurts way more than the physical, you know, bump or bruise. And it's the shock of like, oh, wow, I was doing sit-ups and now I hit my head.

No, and it's the shock of like, I'm supposed to be like a coordinated adult. I'm like just over here banging my head on things. Yeah, it was, it was quite shocking, but I powered through the rest of the workout. I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's awful. Yeah, it just sort of like colored my day. and now I woke up this morning and like when I was doing my makeup like I could feel the bruise on my head but I think I think it's okay hopefully hopefully yeah but you know so far so good some of you on the YouTube channel might have noticed Jackie and I looking extra fabulous extra toasty new merch that might look familiar from last holiday drop we have revamped our toasty lights best-selling internet breaking

No, I swear. Because this morning, I was actually thinking like last night, like, I know it's coming out soon, but I fell asleep at 10 o'clock. Then when I woke up, I'm like, I'm not gonna like go on Twitter and I'm not gonna look because I want to be surprised and I want to guess but you were you really haven't seen really haven't seen oh my gosh okay so I'm thinking you get three guesses no clues three guesses no clues okay um like it's hard because no one was like a clear like star this year because nothing happened but like that's true someone who's just like hot all the time like Michael B Jordan you know

that's it oh no way yep no kidding I know I don't know why like I thought that was so funny did it was I being like a good actress when I was like make me Jordan yeah no I like I you believe me I never would have guessed that you would put on you believed me a hundred percent why wouldn't I believe you I don't know I'm a trusting person well when I woke up this morning I actually didn't know yet I'm like you know what it'd be funny if like I could find out like and get like a genuine surprise but then I just got too curious so I looked on Twitter oh wow curiosity killed the cat curiosity it truly got the best of me it broke her heart now all that's left of she this is a great choice yes Michael B Jordan is people's sexiest man alive and for 2020 he said

the women in my family are proud of this one so Michael B Jordan is by all definitions like the sexiest man alive period a lot of times like people you know takes creative liberties like this man's personality is so sexy yeah no sometimes there have been many a controversial selects I think most recently obviously Blake Shelton was like a curious one last year was John Legend which was also like not the obvious choice. A good one. Yeah, a good one. But I don't really think of John Legend as like super sexy.

Like I think of him as very talented and like funny and like part of a good marriage. Right. That's why it was an interesting choice. It wasn't the obvious choice. No, this is very obvious. This is very obvious. He is very sexy. He tells people that it's a cool feeling.

You know, everybody always made that joke like, Mike, this is the one thing you're probably never going to get but it's a good club to be a part of who would say that no what assholes are you hanging out like no like it's like very much in the realm of possibility for Michael B Jordan it would be more impossible for him to never get this right than for him to have gotten it I think my favorite thing about Michael B Jordan is that I knew about him before everyone else because like I used to watch Friday Night Lights like when it was on the air and that's where he came from and a lot of people forget but I never forgot no I think people remember and I don't think so I think I'm the only one okay well congratulations to you thank you this is such a big day for me the photos are stunning sexy beautiful stunning smart and incredibly sexy I would hope so yes so

make sure to pick up a copy of People Magazine. And who are some of the honorable mentions? I saw Dan Levy got one. Honorable mentions. Which I think is sexiest hair, sexiest foot. Oh, yeah. Sexiest nose. These are just like other sexy people.

Right. But not the sexy man. No. They're not the sexiest man alive. Yeah. But they're sexy men living. Yeah. Breathing live.

Sexy men. You know, it's like when you like those neon signs. yeah you know those neon signs it was like nude girls live walking like we should open a club like sexy breathing oxygen men and here would be the features chris evans of course dwayne johnson he's the former sexiest and now he's just among the sexy. He's been demoted. I have to say like I, while Dwayne Johnson I don't think is my type, like I'm not into like enormous dudes. There's something about him that is very sexy.

No, he is so sexy. Big time. Period. Paul Mezcal from Normal People. The love of my life. Like if you haven't seen that show, you guys, and you're looking for some sort of sexual awakening, watch that show because Paul Me mescal is everything of the sort oh we were talking about the girl yesterday she's in where the crawdads sing and he's certifiably sexy and he was nominated for an emmy so i feel like he's having a good year

for sure maluma very sexy very sexy pedro pascal from the mandalorian i don I didn't see it. I don't know who that is. Chris Rock. He's sexy. Paul Rudd. Are people going to move on from this ever? That was such a great reaction. Because I love Paul Rudd. Like, I love his movies. He was amazing in Friends.

And, like, he is super, super cute. Mm-hmm. But just, like, let's move on. Yeah. Also, Pedro Pascal is from Game of Thrones. Remember he spoiler alert has his face smashed in. Yes yes yes yes yes. John David Washington who's from Tenet which was like a big movie this year.

One of the few that were able to be movies. Oh yes actually I was just at dinner with friends and they were talking about how it was truly one of the worst movies they ever saw and had made no sense. No plot like no nothing, yeah. Brad Pitt, always sexy. Yeah. A classic sexy guy. Never not sexy. Manny Jacinto from The Good Place.

Okay. And then those are, so those were the 10 extra sexy, the bonus sexy men. But do you want to get sexiest food? Yeah, like they have such specific categories. Yeah, like sexiest hair. And like sexiest clothes. Yeah, no, I agree. Sexiest late night host on ABC. Like they get such specific categories. Yeah. Like sexy hair. And like sexiest clothes. Yeah. No, I agree.

Sexiest late night host on ABC. Like they get really specific. Yeah. We're going to find out who are the specific sexy people. Yeah. Sexiest late night host. That was like Andy Cohen one year. No, Andy got sexiest hair. Oh, nice.

And I think he was really proud of that. He does have nice hair. Are you struggling to find the article? I'm just like, yeah, I want to find the one that's like all the. Maybe it only comes out in the actual issue. We should pick up a copy. We should. I'm just going to go to their Sexiest Man Alive tab and see if it's there.

And then if not, I'll move on. OK. From all the sexiness. Because John Mayer should be in there for something. Whenever I report on this story, I feel like Anna Faris and the House Bunny. So sexy. By the way, also, I can't believe just like, not that I don't have anything bad to say about people's sexiest man alive,

and they do the most beautiful woman issue, but I do find it hard to believe that this whole saga hasn't been canceled yet. Like something about it feels wrong. I can't put my finger on it though. But I do also like kind of enjoy it. Like it's exciting. Who's going to be like, it still holds some sort of excitement.

Totally. I just feel like that and like Maxim Hot 100. Like I just find that in 2020 like someone would have found a way to make this controversial. Do you know what I mean? For sure. Like pitting women against women and then separating it by gender. Like I just can't believe it's still a thing. For sure.

The specific sexiness hasn't it's not out yet oh okay so we'll have to pick up a physical copy maybe next time I'm in the airport or maybe tomorrow we'll get like we'll find out who has the sexiest foot maybe we'll say I'm really looking forward to the foot category it's one of my favorites every year well congratulations to all the sexy men you're so sexy so sexy so Michael B. Jordan. Yeah. No, this is so deserved. Like, he's so sexy. And. There was also a few years where they were just, like, rotating the same three guys.

Yeah. And that was, like, when I feel as though they really could have faded into irrelevancy. But they got with the times and started choosing out of, like, literally just George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Like, that's what they used to do every year. Yeah. Now it's, like. And I feel like, and most beautiful woman is always

Julia Roberts yeah even though I think she like literally got it once but for some reason it's like she's ingrained in my mind it's like people always choosing her as the most beautiful woman yeah I agree with that okay ready for our next story it's really some sad news oh no Jesse Nelson takes an extended break from Little Mix for quote medical reasons so to all the Little Mix stans out there um I'm not gonna lie I speak on behalf of all of us like I really didn't see this one coming right now. They're in the middle of putting out like fire singles lead up to an album and Jessie is taking in a break. In a statement received by the BBC on Tuesday it was said that quote Jessie is having

extended time off from Little Mix for private medical reasons. We will not be issuing any further comment currently and ask media to please respect her privacy during this time well i really really hope that she's okay and like this truly is just like a medical break like people need breaks all the time for medical reasons normalized taking breaks and we just read a book for the redheads um the unraveling of cassidy holmes which is about a girl group and like all of the things that go on behind the scenes and take a break if you need the scenes and take a break. If you need a break, take a break, please. But when it comes to like very famous groups,

when someone leaves, like people are always doubtful. And speculation. And I do believe I've said here once or twice, it might've been on the morning breath, when I had the esteemed privilege of going to a private little mix concert and then like interviewing them afterwards, I really felt like I got their vibe and the vibe that I got and I remember saying this I said if they ever break

up it'll be because Jessie leaves like I just got a vibe that they were like leaving her out and like she was just like different from them not saying that that's what this is but if it is I just wanted to put it out there that I called it first great I'm happy for you it's just sad for the fans it's important to get credit for your predictions. She also missed out on the girl group's The Search final. They have a show, Little Mix, The Search. She missed out on the final episode in their performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards saying, Jessie is unwell and will not be appearing on tonight's final.

Oh no. She will also not be hosting or performing at tomorrow's MTV EMAs. Have they been performing without her? So they performed without her at the EMAs. That's crazy. Yeah, they performed Sweet Melody. I feel like I'm going to take this at face value and say that this is exactly what's going on

because I feel like if it was something bigger, they would have come up with a more elaborate statement. You know what I mean? But just being like, it's medical, bug off. Yeah. I'm going to accept that. We'll see. being like it's medical bug off yeah I'm gonna accept that we'll see going and I'm going to bug off and Jessie like if you're listening um I wish you a speedy recovery and and I hope whatever it is that you're going through like isn't that serious because it sounds scary like the way that they describe it yeah totally yes I agree I think we

should take this at face value and just time will tell if this is really what's going on and also like I think that in order for our favorite bands to stay our favorite bands, we need to normalize people taking breaks, like actual breaks. Sometimes you just need a pause. Yeah, of course. But then it's like our trust is betrayed because One Direction says they're going on a brief hiatus and it's been six years. Yeah.

No, but maybe if like they took the break when they needed to, it wouldn't, they wouldn't need six years off. But that's not our fault. We need to normalize music industry executives letting 17-year-olds go on breaks. But if this is like our first instance of it, of getting the break when the break is needed, we need to show the music executives that we're good with it,

that we are happy for them, and that we are fine with breaks if people are coming back. Yes, but at the end of the day, it's not in our power. It's the music execs. Even that documentary where it was like, One Direction was on this nonstop tour, waking up every night in the middle of the night recording their new album for the next tour so that by the time this tour is over they will release the album and then go on another tour and spend two weeks at home like that is awful and

that has nothing to do with the fans like that has everything to do with the simon cowell's of the world who plan these things yeah but maybe like enough like enough one directions have broken up that they're like, okay, maybe we'll try it differently this time. If someone needs a break, we will give them a break because we'd rather have a short-term break than the dissolution of the band. Of course, maybe that'll work. Right. You would think these big wigs would learn. You would think that they would be like not so short-sighted. Yeah. But big wigs, I don't know, maybe their wigs are on too tight because they can't see anything but like the next the next day they can't see anything long term their wigs are on too tight they are okay next story Claudia's

favorite guy Conan O'Brien is ending his nightly TBS show in 2021 only interesting because he's moving well only semi-interesting because he's moving to a weekly variety show on HBO Max. So this is an example of a traditional late night host choosing streaming service over cable late night format, which has always been the dream for people. Yeah, I do have to say this is an interesting case study, but not that interesting because it's not like Conan O'Brien walked away from a big ass show. He's on TBS and he got got that show as like a favor after

that whole jay leno thing happened like it's not like jimmy fallon jimmy kimmel james corden like one of the big ones went like conan is pretty irrelevant if if i'm being honest so yes this is a big win for the streaming awards but i i don't i don't want to say this without being mean but like conan's a loser You know what I mean? Yeah. Wait, there's a quote here and I'm not sure if it's a joke. Okay. Because if it's a joke, it's hysterical.

What website? It's Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, this is what Conan said. In 1993, Johnny Carson gave me the best advice of my career. As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform. That's funny and obviously not true

because there were no streaming platforms in 1993. Right, but that is so funny. Wow, Conan's funny and obviously not true because there were no streaming platforms right but that is so funny wow conan's funny no i know he said i'm thrilled maybe i take it back yeah he said i'm thrilled that i get to continue doing whatever the hell it is i do on hbl max we agree and i look forward to a free subscription what i meant is basically that like conan no matter like he's probably like a funny guy 100 and i didn't mean to you know knock him what he oh wait i'm like so just this article he also has a special like a traveling special called conan without borders wow that's pretty funny right shit do we have to get into conan we might have to and of course we are a podcast and it supports other podcasts okay we started

um okay maybe i take back all the mean things I just said about Conan because that was pretty funny. But all I meant was like, this isn't that impactful because it's not like the loss of Conan's cable show. It's like, oh no. Like, woo. Spooky. We're fine. Yeah. The late night category is gonna be fine.

Yeah, no, I hear what you're saying. It's not like one of the Jimmys or Andy Cohen or even someone with like a remotely like large audience of devoted fans I think he has some fans but I hear what you're saying he's not one of like the biggest in but he's he's pretty big no if any of the jimmies or Andy Cohen or even like Samantha Bee like went like that would be impressive I think Samantha Bee is Conan level actually I agree with you I think they're on the same network. That's why.

Yeah, but like James Corden. Yeah, of course. Stephen Colbert. Well, John Oliver is already on streaming. Well, no, he's on HBO. Yeah. Not HBO Max. So yeah, like this is, if more people follow him,

which I don't know if they will, then it's interesting. But for right now, I don't think it's that big of a deal because I don't know how much of a future the Conan cable show had. I don't think it's that big of a deal because I don't know how many how much you know um of a future the Conan cable show had you know I just I I'm at your iPads playing music oh my god amateur hour Hollywood reporter and their ads coming for me it's tough times for everyone like all these websites that I'm on these days it's like pop pop up pop up pop up ads ads ads cars cars cars chill the fuck out I know we're all going through tough times we're all doing branded deals we don't want to be doing, but chill. But speaking of, do we have an ad?

Oh! It's a great segue. Pop, pop, pop. At Nu-X, our mission is to provide our customers with the highest quality products at a reasonable price. So a bunch of you guys actually always ask me about my CBD experience, and Nu-X is one of the brands that I really love because they make the great-tasting gummy bears. and I just find CBD, especially in the beginning,

like to be like a little intimidating. When it comes in a gummy bear, it's like not that intimidating. Nu-X has years of experience in sourcing, manufacturing, and development. Their goal is to make CBD accessible to the masses. They never sacrifice quality and their products are natural, pure, and tested. The gummies taste great. They have 15 milligrams of broad spectrum CBD per gummy bear. They're vegan and made with all natural flavors. They have no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. THC free. It's USA grown hemp lab tested. And the best part, it's under $10. Perfect for people who are looking to have a fun way of taking CBD and for someone who maybe prefers a sweeter method of a CBD intake. The price is just $9.99. And the best part is that the gummy bears have a consistent dose every time. So I've taken gummy bears from CBD companies that like don't tell you

how much is in each gummy bear, just in like the whole pack, which is a little freaky. So I didn't really like that. That's why I prefer NuX. And if you want to visit nux, N-U-X dot com to purchase some of their great products. And you can use the discount code TOAST for 20% off for a limited time. NuX also offers an entire collection of on the go that offers all products for under a $10 price point, which is perfect for those trying to take CBD for the first time. Again, that's nu-x dot com. Promo code TOAST for 20% off, but only for a limited time. So make sure you get on that.

Love it. Okay, next story is some biz news. It's been a minute. Oh my God, thank God I forgot my glasses today though. What do you mean? Biz news, I got to put my glasses on. Yeah. Otherwise, how will you read it from my voice?

No, otherwise, like how will I be able to give good business advice? That's true. And maybe I could give good business advice, but who would take it from someone not wearing glasses? That's true. But I don't know if we'll need your, I guess we'll need some advice. Let me hear.

Amazon is opening an online pharmacy, shaking up another industry to me. I read this and I was like, hallelujah, this is what I need. I think this is just like a no brainer. The retail Colossus opened an online pharmacy on Tuesday that allows customers to order medication or prescription refills and have them delivered to their front door in a couple of days. The potential impact of Amazon's arrival in the pharmaceutical space rippled through that sector immediately. The stocks of CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid all tumbled on Tuesday. Those big chains rely on their pharmacies for a steady flow of shoppers who may also grab a snack or shampoo

or groceries on the way out. All have upped online services and touted their abilities to deliver prescriptions and other goods as the pandemic has pushed more consumers to stay at home but amazon has mastered these things and its online store is infinitely larger with millions of loyal shoppers already buying books tvs claudia's book and just about anything else yeah girls no job.com book you can get my book on amazon okay now i have a probably like a controversial um opinion on just like the amazon takeover okay because i'm a consumer at heart you know i buy things all the time pretty much every day and i buy things from stores brick and mortar i buy things from amazon and the experience of buying something on amazon is just so superior in every way. Price, user experience, speed, efficiency.

Like two-step checkout. It's- Remembers where you, like what your last address was. You have all of your, like they just, you don't have to- It's so easy. Yeah.

So as much as everyone's like, oh, Amazon's taking over the brick and mortar mom and pop. And it is sad. It is. As a consumer, like I want the best possible experience. So the fact that Amazon is now

my prime user for deliveries for electronics and now maybe pharmacies, like I really can't be mad. Like it's fabulous. No, competition benefits the consumer. And I agree, especially for the pharmacy. Like I find calling in my prescription, getting to the pharmacy in the time before they like unpack my prescription to be like extremely like stressful for me like I just I don't know I I dread having to call in my prescription no and by the way try calling your pharmacy and then getting to the actual pharmacist like it's just a machine and then maybe you get a customer service representative who's not a part of the

pharmacy and then the pharmacy hours are so specific even though the place is open 24 hours like and they say they do say that I could have my prescriptions delivered and that there's like a place that delivers prescriptions I just I have yet to encounter this in a meaningful way yeah and I feel like I know a few days before I need a prescription refilled and that's how long Amazon takes to get to me yeah and I just like I'm so here for this yeah I mean it has been a really difficult year for small businesses. So I feel like this is like another blow to small businesses because yes,

there are CVSs and Walgreens that'll survive. But there are a lot of like general stores and small pharmacies that are mom and pop and like small businesses. And that sucks because Amazon has already been so destructive towards small businesses. And given what's been going on this year, like that sucks.

But as the consumer at heart, like I ain't mad mad like that Amazon's just taking over like every sector I I'm gonna go out on a limb like I fucking love Amazon like and I feel like Amazon's the devil to so many people but I love it I'm gonna love Jeff Bezos thank you for making my life so easy and affordable yeah no I mean I I hear what you're saying. And I think that this one specifically is just. It's a good thing. It's a good one. Yeah. Okay, ready for our fifth and final story?

Always. Because the first look at Matt James' season of The Bachelor has been revealed. Yes, as I was watching The Bachelor last night, they kept teasing the teaser. And the teaser was in Big Sky. Which looks good. Which looks good. But it looks like a drama that I want to watch all together. I'm not watching episodically, especially after I've watched The Bachelorette.

Like, I'm done for the day. Yeah, but I do love me some Ryan Phillippe. You do? Yeah. I don't like him. Cruel intentions. I know. And then Mary Therese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe's dad.

Like, what's not to like? I don't know. And he follows me on Instagram, so really, what's not to like? Oh, I love him. Yeah, love him. On Tuesday, ABC dropped the first look at season 25 of The Bachelor, which has Matt James in the driver's seat and his female contestants bonding. The women are literally falling for you, Chris Harrison tells James,

after a woman is seen tripping while getting out to see the 28-year-old. That is you, like, falling. That's me hitting myself in the head. I was so excited when I saw, like, Matt James in his suit, like, in his suit like turning I because I knew we just reported that they already started filming but like they already started filming no and there's footage there's visuals on my tv screen yeah I was actually shocked at like the speed in which we got a trailer yeah no I'm I'm so excited I think it's gonna be really great well what I thought was most interesting about the trailer is where they were. They appeared to be standing in front of some sort of mansion looking,

maybe almost a hotel. Like it was beautiful and it wasn't La Quinta. No, but was it Nima Colon? I don't know. I think, yeah, it's been confirmed pretty much that they're at Nima Colon and it does look like a mansion looking hotel. It was beautiful. And it's like Farm Chemin vibes. It's going to be like a whole new scene and I'm so

excited to like have a change of scenery. Also speaking of a little bachelor tea um people are and by people I mean Des Moines Instagram account saying that Kelly and Peter are like fully engaged. Love to see it. Congratulations Mazel Tov to the two of you. Like what an incredibly strange journey that is hysterical and yeah ultimately beautiful yeah because I actually really like them as a couple I just think the way in which he like chose two different girls neither of which were Kelly like was weird and I didn't like the way that they came together but if if they had just won the bachelorette together like I would have loved them yeah and you know what like it's sometimes it's an imperfect thing and you like sometimes it's

messy but if they found each other at the end of it and the fact that they had met before the season, they went to that wedding. Right. Four seasons. I think that this is so sweet. I think that they've been really cute. And I think Kelly is like. And they've been low key. Kelly's probably one of the like. Smartest with it people that's ever been on the show.

So whatever Kelly wants. Kelly gets. OK, let's dive into our TV recap segment, which last night was The Bachelorette. Very standard episode. Not that much happened. But I did come to a few conclusions. Okay.

The first conclusion that I came to is there's always two different types of bachelorettes. Bachelorettes that listen to the producers and bachelorettes that don't. And I've gathered that Tayshia is the bachelorette who listens to the producers. I felt that way about JoJo Fletcher. I thought Rachel Lindsay did not listen to the producers. I thought Caitlin Bristow did not listen to the producers. And what I mean by that Tayshia is the bachelorette who listens to the producers I thought that felt that way about Jojo Fletcher I thought Rachel Lindsay did not listen to the producers I thought Caitlin Bristow did not listen to the producers and what I mean by that is like this whole Ed

versus Chasen thing like is so stupid like loser on loser crime like I first I liked Ed for just calling Chasen out because Chasen is such a loser yeah I actually liked Ed usually it's like if you step in it regardless of what side you're on like I'm done with both of you like if you're taking up your time to talk about drama but then like what Ed was saying about Chasen like so specifically I was like same adjectives to describe Claire and Tasia which is like a pretty legitimate thing to say plus he was like he's here for Instagram followers and he and he was just like really going in hard on him and I was like yeah I see yeah no by the way I was totally with Ed but like he did not let it go and then he's like such a baby telling Tayshia that Chasen got aggressive with him like he was just standing up like he lost me at the end but at first I was like living for him coming

for Chasen because Chasen is so thirsty and Chasen's TikToks have been coming up all over my they're awful I can't unsee it they're so aggressive so it was loser on loser crime and I don't feel like Tayshia really has a connection with either of them but she ended up keeping not one but both of them and to me that's just the producers telling Tayshia what to do like she doesn't really care about these dudes but let's keep them around for the drama whereas I feel like a Rachel Lindsay or a Caitlyn like has absolutely no time for guys like that and even though the producers wanted them to stay like they would have sent both of them home so we could like start fresh and not go into next week now talking about chasing an ad chasing out like it's so stupid it's not even like an interesting um conversation that

yeah it's loser on loser crime and it's not like one of them is a front runner in any way so we're not actually concerned about Tayshia going home with the wrong guy right so I felt as though that taught me that Tayshia is listening to producers and just like doing what she's supposed to do and I'm sure after the producers working with Claire like Tayshia is listening to producers and just like doing what she's supposed to do and I'm sure after the producers working with Claire like Tayshia is a welcomed refreshing sight for sore eyes yeah but that was the first conclusion that I came to the second conclusion that I came to was that there are so many front runners like I cannot decide who I love more and I don't think Tayshia can decide either because I know people are they're like gearing up for him to be the villain but I like love Noah yeah I think he's so. And I think if you're cute with a mustache

and cute without, like you're actually like a really good looking guy. I think. And I didn't, I wasn't bothered at all that he jumped the fence. Me neither. No, I think he did a really good job. And the fact that he came on the date midway through

and like still won the rose, like he's obviously an impressive guy. I think he is really cute. I don't think he is a front runner because he's just like kind of young. Young. And I, I just feel like he's fun.

But there are so many like Ben even though he totally that was the best shot the bed that was the best thing that ever happened to me I really did like him the whole episode but he was just like you can't he was too meticulous like you can't plan a group date like your five minutes like he was being a little too cocky and like just sitting around and I absolutely loved that he didn't get time with Tasia like even though I like him and he's definitely a front runner like I was living for his failure yeah no it was funny and it was surprising and really sad but I do really like him and I think he's like top four yes I think he's so I think Noah while he may not be a winner

I think he's going very far I think Ben is the same I think Brendan who they had the one-on-one I think they're still like very like a very strong connection between him. I actually think Bennett has like potential, even though he hasn't been spending like enough time with Tayshia alone. But I think Tayshia like likes him. Yeah, there's always like one or two guys who you could tell have like a real friendship

with the lead. Yeah. And they will stay like as long as they possibly can before she would have to eliminate someone that she loves. Yeah. So I think Bennett will be like number six to go home yeah me too I think that um were you the one who told me that he gives you Jean-Paul Jones vibes oh did I yeah and that's like obviously Tayshia's type yeah and once ever since you said that I like can't stop thinking about it's so true like she

does have a very unique type because Jean-Paul Jones is like kind of quirky she likes a quirky guy and Bennett is definitely quirky and I just have to say like him getting all those answers wrong at the quiz like made me like him like I thought it was so funny so funny and he still won you know he's so cute and so she obviously likes him if like she was fine with him winning like yeah even though he didn't participate in two out of the three yeah but I mean beignet is Trump all speaking of not participating when Jason and ed were supposed to fight and ed goes over to chris harris and says he has like dislocated shoulders and can't fight um i actually was glad that they didn't fight because something about the date was giving me like like i don't like

where this is going vibes same like not only like wrestling it's just so barbaric but yeah plus like all oiled up these guys who like i just i, I just thought it was, it was stupid. It's like, it's 2020. Like, yeah. And it was already getting like aggressive. Like, like they were fighting way harder than I thought they were going to for guys who didn't have any beef. Right.

So even though like it was fine, I didn't, I honestly think that it was way better if Ed and Jason did not fight. Yeah. Cause there would have been an injury and it's so senseless. Like, I agree. It's so silly. It's's so silly and i thought it was cool that noah jumped in and also if everyone wanted to be mad at noah for being on the date they should be mad at ed for sitting out and if noah wants to come to the group and shouldn't be able to go shouldn't go because that like that's who they should be mad at not noah for seeing an opportunity and seizing it

that is a wonderful call i just brilliant like beyond brilliant ed started to complain about noah being at the degree it's like your fault bitch like you look in the mirror no i look i started the episode like thinking ed was actually like him and he's a friend of bennett so i lost he lost me no but he didn't lose me completely but i i i don't dislike him yet like i think that the guys like him i I thought, I think he's a fine guy. The guys really dislike Noah, like, simply because he has a mustache and he was, like, the first to walk in from that new group of guys. No, he wasn't the first.

He was. No, no, no, the other guy was the first. Who? He wasn't really in this episode, but he was the one who, like, got super aggressive in water polo. Oh. And then he hurt his mouth. Was that not Noah?

No, that's Spencer. Spencer.'s spencer oh he was like relatively irrelevant this episode oh yeah i forgot about him um i just feel like they don't like him and i don't like their reasons because he has a mustache like that ain't fair yeah that's not a real reason to dislike someone and now he doesn't even have a mustache no it looks like next week's episode's like all about him like not right right for her well he is too young i know age has no number but like Tayshia keeps saying she wants a boy not a man and that means someone older and that guy's XC who's 36 and he's like why am I single and 36 like I actually really like him yeah I think he

will do well also even though I don't think he's so cute yeah but again like I think Tayshia just is has like isn't like her type is just more interested like she's more interested yes interesting and she's like not shallow which I think makes the season so much more interesting because it's like the people who are like the usual classic bachelor types now like Blake Moylan is just fading into the background bye Blake Moylan I literally forgot about him also the three men that that got sent home never seen them before in my life yeah I'm like boiling. I literally forgot about him. Also, the three men that got sent home, never seen them before in my life. Yeah. I'm sorry to this man.

Like, never heard of him. Yeah. I'm like, you've been here the whole time? Yeah. Crazy. It was pretty much like a boring episode, but. It was classic Bachelor stuff. Yeah, but in, you know, all credit to Tayshia, like, it did not, it wasn't a five-hour episode.

It was a two-hour episode. No, it was, it was a sufficient two-hour episode. And for that, Tayshia, we're so grateful. And you're doing great. And her looks hour episode. No, it was, it was a sufficient two hour episode. And for that, Tayshia, we're so grateful and you're doing great and her looks are excellent. Oh my God, her looks are excellent.

That green dress that she wore like, like long sleeve on the date with Ashley, Aya and Jared. Oh yeah. It was just so cute and like everything

she has is just like cute. Yeah, no, and also that like jumpsuit she was wearing to the cocktail party. Just looked amazing and it's so, like I really feel like she has chemistry with party shiny just looked amazing and it's so like I really feel like she has chemistry with so many guys and even if it's like not real chemistry like

she's doing an amazing job of like being the bachelorette and like I feel like it is real chemistry though right I think it is too but just say like even if like whether it is or isn't like we she's at least giving everyone the time of day and like a really a fair shot as opposed to just like judging them based on like what she sees and like a first impression and then just writing them off completely and she's keeping us interested like i have no idea who's gonna win yeah and i feel like she could go on a one-on-one with some random guy that i literally don't know his name next week and he's the winner because she's just like she's so radiant like she gives out you're right like she sees the best in everyone and everyone is obsessed with her shut the fuck up my god we're trying to record a podcast it's truckers for tasha they come out every week i forgot about that that's true sorry i didn't

mean to yell truckers for tasha woo woo choo choo um so yes i feel like if i if you were doing a what do they call it espn bracket bracket espn what who would be your top four oh okay um Ben I like I'm trying to remember everyone's name it's so hard Ben Zach C um I guess that guy Brendan yeah who's also divorced and who's like an obvious, I feel like someone that she hasn't like really sparked with yet that we haven't seen, you know, like Noah.

No, I don't think Noah. I don't know. I'm so bad at predicting these. Like if it was me, like I literally would have predicted Ed, like I'm so bad. Oh,

and Ivan. Oh yes. He got the rose this week. He's cute. Yeah. Really cute. And I think that, but quiet. Yeah. Um, okay. Well, we'll see week. He's cute. Yeah, really cute. And I think that... But quiet.

Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll see. We'll watch that in six weeks and see what happens. Now up for Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment. So we do Dear Toasters every Wednesday.

Dear Claudia and Jackie, thank you for bringing a smile to my face every weekday at approximately 10.30 a.m. Eastern Time. My sorority sister, let's call her Maddie, just got engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. She is such a precious gem of a woman, but here's the thing.

Maddie and my boyfriend, Peter, hooked up in college before we dated. Not only that, but she actually peed in his bed. They were so drunk that she peed in his bed. Twice. She legit peed on my boyfriend. Like a pup on a fire hydrant, marking her territory with actual urine. It still bothers me a little bit,

but I know it's completely irrational. It's been years and she's literally marrying someone else, but I can't let it go. I actually have a photo of them making out on my phone to remind me in case my terrible memory fails me and I need to take it out and use it against them one day.

They've barely spoken in years and she will likely attend our future wedding one day, but it's so weird to me that he may be going to her wedding because the only tie they have to each other is that they used to hook up. She gave me a plus one, so should I bring him to the wedding anyways or just leave him at home so I take care of my bridesmaid's duties and possibly avoid a weird drunken encounter and a lot of social anxiety? Thanks in advance, day one toaster. This is tough because like part of me thinks you're being irrational, but like I kind of

understand and I don't know, girls, I feel like girls who end up marrying like their college boyfriends like people do the craziest shit in college like you all know each other like it's definitely toxic yeah no I think that on the I don't think there's anything here like when you went to college with your friends and you're dating someone from college like there's gonna be stories there like everyone made out with everyone like you just kissed a lot of, like there's going to be stories there. Like everyone made out with everyone. Like you just kissed a lot of frogs. Like it's just what you did. I don't think, like she's literally getting married. You're the only reason that he and she

are even connected anymore. If you don't want to bring him, I think that's an overreaction. Like you guys should have a fun night at a wedding together. Like why not? Don't deprive yourself. I think, I don't, I don't,

there's nothing that she's said or done that should make you think like she's still like holding a torch for him I mean she's literally getting married or vice versa like I just if you if you want to date someone that you went to college with like you have to accept all of that baggage whether it be like from your friends and and that's a tough pill to swallow very and I'm not saying that I would be able to do it but that's just you've made your bed now you got to to do it but that's just you've made your bed now you gotta pee in it yeah that's just the price to pay if you want to date someone you went to college with yeah and Jackie's right like this girl has done nothing like just bring your

boyfriend it's fine and she's your friend and just drink a lot like it'll be a fun wedding with all your college friends like you don't want your boyfriend to miss out on that yeah that sounds so fun that sounds so fun I think you've got to put it in the past. Me too. Put it to bed. Otherwise, it's just going to continually consume you. And it's like, if there's nothing there, it's eating at you for no reason. Right. That's one of those things where it's like your anxiety gets the best of you. And even though there's like no good reason for it, like it can ruin parts of your life.

Like you got to get over it. You're stressing over nothing. Like if there were things that you had seen that just kicked your intuition into high gear being like there's something between them but there's nothing like that it's just the fact that like she hooked up with him and peed in his bed twice like I think yeah I think he's seen what he wants to see and he wants to be with you not the girl who peed in his bed twice twice um okay next up hey Jackie and Claudia recently my fiance's best friend Judas told us he was moving away on Judas's last week before moving my fiance tried multiple times to hang out with judas so he could officially ask him to be his best man

judas never responded to the texts then i received a phone call from judas i thought it was weird but i assumed it was to explain why he's been avoiding my fiance judas got right to the point of why he called to tell me he was in love with me bitch what i made it very clear that i only have love for my fiance and nobody else he was adamant on spilling his feelings and said he just had to tell me before he moved tomorrow he talked about keeping this conversation between us in a panic i lied and said i wouldn't tell my fiance we awkwardly hung up and i burst into tears this like shit never happens to me like why don't people call me and tell me that they love me the worst part was having

to tell my fiance all in all my fiance deserves a purple heart for the way he handled this we decided to not reach out to judas since he was moving the next day we wanted him to just leave and then we could figure it out from there two months later judas hasn't reached out to us my question is should we just let this one go are we letting him off easy i'm pissed that judas dropped this bombshell and then went on his merry fucking way while the rest of us are just picking up the rubble sincerely the horror story version of love actually i don't know seems like he did you a favor like okay he had these feelings which were inappropriate but not his fault and then he ghosted you like great and now you and your husband have a great relationship like you were honest with him your husband like

it seems like you guys are on the same team and then judas just made himself disappear like yeah and he's not what do you want him to be calling you up every day checking in to see if you changed your mind like he had to unburden himself like you got to hear that someone's in love with you like how fabulous for you it's and now your husband your fiance's probably like on his toes a little bit like oh she could always go for judas like no and it's like i'm marrying like this hot thing like that everyone wants this is a win win win 100 except for judas of course of course but he moved and he's gonna start a new life for himself. Do you think he moved because of this? Maybe he couldn't handle it but then look he took himself out of the equation like very selfless. I think he handled this perfectly. I think so too

and I think that you yeah you could say maybe he shouldn't have told you but I'm sure like one he needed to get it off his chest and two on the small chance that you felt the same way he would never know if he never said it. Unfortunately you don't feel the same way but you have to say it you gotta take risks you gotta take risks and at the end of the day this is like that episode of friends where rachel wants to tell ross that she's in love with him and everyone's like don't do it don't do it and she's like why because at the end of the day like it's always nice to be like told that someone is in love with you and it's like i would just take the compliment girlfriend and then go back to like you and your husband's like what seems to be a perfectly happy life together 100 this how this doesn't sound like you need advice at all sounds like you're bragging

like this sounds amazing i'm so happy for you like you have an amazing husband you're so loved who's so brave and like handled this awkward situation and then you found out like some other like probably good-looking guys in love with you like this is so much so that he had to leave town yeah so much so that you had to write into a podcast to brag about it. Like, honestly, I don't see the problem. I don't see the problem here. All right. Our third and final one. Hi, Claudia and Jackie.

First off, I love you guys so much and want to say thank you for getting me through quarantine. Oh, my God. You're welcome. We love you too so much. Now for the important part. My boyfriend and I have been together for over three years now, and I'm fairly certain that he's the one. We talk about our future together all the time.

And though we have issues like any other couple, I think we are a good match. Here's where things get interesting. I had a psychic reading done. I can't take people seriously. I had a psychic reading done recently at my sister's bachelorette party. Everything she said was so on point for me without giving me any hints or information about myself. She pulled a card for me that said I was going to marry the man of my dreams and we would

be so madly in love with each other and happy. I asked whether or not this man of my dreams was already in my life and she said no. I know this is crazy. This is crazy. And most people think psychics are bullshit but I can't stop thinking about this. It would be insane to break up with someone over something a random psychic said but am I going to live the rest of my life wondering whether or not the man of my dreams is still out there? Help a psyched out toaster. Okay. Like I understand why you might want to take this psychic's advice to heart. And I think that you should.

But if you break up with your boyfriend to go meet the man of your dreams. Like you're making. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like you're doing it because she said. Like it comes true because she told you to do it. Like she put this in your head. Yeah. And so you're going to go and make it happen. And then it's like this next guy who could be terrible but you're like

he's the man of my dreams yeah but like he it's just it's the definition you're making it come true because it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy i think that you should continue on with your life as planned you never know what will happen like you could always keep that in the back of your mind but actually don't even like it'll ruin your relationship until you break up with him to go see what's out there and like you'll make the psychic's prophecy come true just put it away for now in 10 years look back and see what happened yeah also to me there's like two realms of possible two possibilities here one you marry this man and then like you

always think like oh that psychic said I could have met someone else or you leave this man and never find anyone and then you think about how a psychic ruined your life so I would just stick with the man that you have now because there seems to be absolutely no problems here and you're making something out of nothing okay yeah I don't I think that like anytime you get a psychic's advice like definitely like take it to heart consider it um but don't like change your life plans based on it if you really like thought something else beforehand yeah you know I don't believe in psychics that much I think that they're interesting right I think there are some people who get like crazy readings that like tell them everything that and it winds up coming true but it doesn't come true because they made it come true because the psychic told them to like they just happened

to reflect on me like oh yeah that did happen yeah and now we're on a steamboat so that is our show that was dear toaster thank you guys for writing in and thank you so much for listening to the morning toast millennium morning show where we deliver the fast five stories that you need to writing in.
