Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone's having an amazing day so far. So far, so good for me. I feel like I woke up on the right side of the bed. That's how I felt yesterday. And I woke up a little before my alarm, so I wasn't so... Ferclempt. Ferclempt when I woke up. Bruno and I had a nice walk this morning. My hair went into a bun with ease. You know, it's the small things. It really is. I feel that. I feel that way.

It's like, I know it's going to be a good day if my eyelashes, which I sleep really hard, they just wake up and they're like in a million different directions. If when I curl them and mascara them, they're all like uniformly working together to, you know, make me look good. That's my like true sign. It's going to be a good day. Yeah. I listened to Evermore while I got ready.

Me too. I'm enjoying it more and more. Forevermore. Forevermore. And yeah, I just, the weather's really nice. There's a huge New Year Easter coming this week. So one, prepare yourselves. And two, I feel like this is the calm before the storm.

So it's like a really beautiful day bracing us for what's next. Yeah. Today's like a good day for me, but not a great day because I'm going to the dentist for the first time. Ben asked me last night before we went to bed, when was the last time I went to the dentist?

And I actually could not remember. I want to say like seven years, maybe. And it's just gross. So I'm going for a checkup and a cleaning. And I think I need a night guard. You'll find out. Maybe some headgear.

I think that's what you need. Invisalign. Like I just want all the different tchotchkes. I need Invisalign. And I need you, she's going to my dentist. I need you to pick up my Invisalign that I ordered seven months ago different I need Invisalign Tchotchkes And I need you she's going to my dentist I need you to pick up my Invisalign that I ordered seven months ago

I actually can if you want me to Um that's crazy that you didn't go to the dentist for so long And on the one hand like you should have But on the other hand like you go on the dentist You go to the dentist like on a need basis And my teeth like hurt every six months And it's like they need a deep cleaning No see that's the thing

It's like I have no problems with my teeth Except now I'm feeling a lot of tension in my jaw I'm feeling like I might have TMJ I'm also feeling like um it's time I've just been hesitant to go to the doctor because my wisdom teeth like grew in and there was enough spachemin for them and there was no problem and I just know like dentists like want them out and I'm just not in the mood to be like convinced into getting my wisdom teeth taken out because mark my words I will not get them taken out it Because if I'm going in for surgery at any time soon, it's either for liposuction or to get my tonsils taken out. I hear you. I actually really need my tonsils taken out. My dentist,

she loves to take out wisdom teeth. And I'm going to your dentist and it ain't happening. You gotta be firm. Mark my words. My wisdom teeth do not bother me. They never have. I didn't even know that they grew in. There was just so much space for them. I'm one of the lucky 1%. No, my wisdom teeth do not bother me they never have I didn't even know that they grew in there was just so much space for them I think I'm one of the lucky one percent no my wisdom teeth grew in and they hurt but then they grew and then I switched dentists and she convinced me that I should have them out because they'll cause like all these other issues throughout life and I already have like very sensitive teeth and so I was like I don't need more issues so I got my wisdom teeth out that was a fun time in a lot of ways you know um what's the type of like um out that was a fun time in a lot of ways you know um what's the type of like um religion where like you don't believe in medicine I remember uh listening to an interview where

Ellen said she grew up in a family that like I think it's called like Christian science or something where it's like you don't take Advil or something I don't know if that's like in the book that I read educated but that was like a very extreme right and so I feel like in a lot of ways like I'm very into modern medicine like I literally take Advil the second I wake up. I love Tums. You're pro-medicine. I'm so pro, especially over the counter. Like that aisle is just a dream. Like I have had so many experiences like saved by Pepto-Bismol, but sometimes I'm like really wary of modern medicine. Like I feel like there's so many superfluous surgeries these days, like just for money, like even getting your tonsils taken out. The fact that it's like now routine for like teenagers, like I just don't think that's necessary, you know? Yeah, I hear you.

I think it's good to question stuff. But we were talking yesterday because we're like so excited about the vaccine. And I guess like, and part of me has just been like thinking like for so long, it's like, what are the anti-vaxxers going to do? Because I'm like, they have to get it. But you were like, no, no, like that's, this is literally their time to shine. Like they're not going to get it. And I'm like, that's's just so crazy and there's all these people being like you're gonna get a second head if you like because I put up a video on my Instagram story and people are like yeah she's feeling fine now but wait until she has a snake growing out of her neck like people are being so crazy and I'm and we read the funniest comment someone commented

on our YouTube yesterday you guys are gonna get the vaccine like yikes and people were commenting back like have you ever had a piece of american cheese no have you ever done drugs that you bought from someone's trunk have you ever had a mcdonald's chicken nugget no and now that i think about it like of all the shit i put in my body like me to be worried about the vaccine would be the true like the pinnacle of hypocrisy like i literally drink like fountain soda morning, noon, and night. Like I have done all different types of drugs. Like who the fuck do I think I am to say no to Pfizer? A hundred percent.

Sorry, controversial statement coming out. But yes, the second I can, I saw your video. You post, oh, Margo posted another video. Oh, of them dancing? Healthcare workers dancing. It's just, it's a bright time and I will not let the anti-vaxxers get me down. I'm pretty sure yesterday is being called V-Day.

Oh, that's cute. For vaccine day. But I have, I know this is like, I know I'm overthinking it, but I have like more concerns. Like what are the anti-vaxxers like going to do? Not get it. Right? I haven't heard from any like anti-vaxxers,

but I think there will be people who opt out. No, I know. But like the anti-vaccine community. Oh, are they going to like get together? It just, you know, this is going to be a controversial statement, but like part of me understands where they're coming from in their anti-vaccine sentiment when it comes to like their babies. You know, there are certain cases like I can see how someone could like be wary of vaccines for their newborn baby. Like I actually could see that even when Michaela

was getting all these vaccines, I'm like, oh my God, but she's such a baby, like all these things. But now it's like nowhere in a pandemic, like in order for the world to be saved, like everyone needs to get the vaccine, but like they're not going to do it. And that just freaks me out. No, but at a certain point, like it's about personal agency. Like if you get the vaccine, you're covering yourself and you're covering the people around you.

So if someone else doesn't get it, like that's on them. It's their choice. And I guess anti-vaxxers like really only hang out with anti-vaxxers. You never know. That's true. You never know who around you could be an anti-vaxxer. But that's what's so great about the vaccine. Like if you want it, get it and you're good to go. I want it. I got it. I want it. I got it. So The Bachelorette was on last night. Yes. And we are going to talk about it, but I just feel like two weeks in a row now, this week and next week, we have two two-hour episodes.

That is 16 hours in two weeks, which is so absurd and so disrespectful. It's not right. It's not right. It's downright rude. And this year has been hard enough, and you're going to finish it out with 16 hours? And you know what? I would be... That's not correct math.

Eight. Eight. Two and two and two and two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eight. Okay. Still a lot. Yeah. F and two and two and two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eight. Okay. Still a lot. Yeah.

Felt like, feels like 16. No, but see, the thing is, like, now it doesn't feel like a lot because it's not 16. But all I'm saying is, like, I would be willing to put up with that. Like, I would be annoyed. But if it was, like, really juicy, like, last night's episode was such unbelievable trash. Like, I could not believe that I was allotting brain cells to it. I was literally doing a million other things. Well, I don't even know what happened.

The mental all was such, and I hate to it. I was literally doing a million other things. Well, I don't even know what happened. The mental law was such, and I hate to keep using this reference because I feel like it might be losing its value, but it was the true definition of loser on loser crime. No, no, no. That is still as pungent as hell. Okay, because I'm worried because sometimes we come up with words

and we like bury them and we just murder them because we use them so much. But it was truly so many losers just committing crimes to other losers. And it was really hard for me to stomach. And it's hard to for me to stomach. And it's hard to care when it's a loser on loser crime.

That's exactly what it is. I could not care. Yeah, we'll get into it. I thought like I can make some interesting and observations. But for the most part, yeah, it's just it's getting tough. I actually don't know if I'm capable of making one interesting observation from last night's episode seeing as how not one interesting thing happened yeah except the date with plague moylan night tech studio yeah when he was like talking in his interview beforehand like just trying so hard so so hard I was like this ain't it I'm glad that Tayshia didn't even wait till

the dinner portion me too sent him home while the sun was still up to be honest like after coming off of Sunday night watching the real housewives of Potomac, which I've now just, I watched it on Sunday, but I've been like recapping and reading so much like commentary on it, which is being widely regarded as the best read in Housewives reunion history since season six of Atlanta, where Portia said that incredibly disgusting thing to Kenya about a guy jizzing in a cup so he can get a medium pizza and a Coke. Like they're saying that Monique's performance is just as maybe if not better Phaedra season six so I've just been like living in this Potomac bubble and just have to go and watch this this reunion on Mental All which was so everyone was missing there was no audience and it was just losers being losers yeah i totally agree

loser so we'll dedicate as little time to it as possible we actually have some really great stories today that i look forward to diving into fabulous and aside from that it's just oh yesterday we did a patreon episode best of 2020 claudia and i each sat down did a little research on our data analytics from the year the best shows movies music albums toast episodes celebrities of 2020 all of our favorites and we also like went down memory lane and started talking about all the shows that we watched this year that we have completely forgotten about it was really emblematic of how long this year has been because I'm about to blow everyone's mind and let you know let me remind you do you know what show came out in 2020 not only it came out we watched it went viral and like all the people became famous it that whole thing

and canceled and canceled cheer cheer on Netflix remember that was this fucking year okay crazy that's so crazy so we're just taking a trip down memory lane of 2020 at patreon.com slash the morning toast and we have three more episodes that'll get you through while we are off starting on monday of next week and then we'll be back the first monday of the new year so we're gonna miss you but we're gonna be having a gat a good ass time miss you want to kiss you yeah we'll always be creating content though because that's what we do so without without i guess i don't know it's hard to know because THEO isn't here. No he's getting a haircut he's just you know moving and grooving he's so booked and busy. Ever since that Pete Davidson photo went viral like everybody's calling him. GMA, The View, Today Show it's exhausting.

He actually got his own publicist you know I guess like the work that I was doing as a momager was inadequate. Yeah and the work that I was doing as a brand manager. And he hired external people. You know what he deserves the best and and he see, like he'll come crawling back. Of course. Nobody looks after you like your own mother. 100%. So without further ado, I guess it could maybe probably be time for the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. Oh shit. The GPS guy's here. Get the door. Oh, he has a delivery. bite out of your morning toast. Oh, shit.

The GPS guy's here. Get the door. Ooh. He has a delivery. It's a big box of RDH. I got you guys. Because I would be RDH remiss, devastated, and heartbroken if I didn't let you know

that today's episode, very appropriately, since I'm going to the dentist, is brought to you by Bruch. And I know Dr. Rebecca's going to be like, oh my God, Claudia, your teeth look amazing. What have you been doing? And I will say, Dr.

Okay, first story, some big news of the day. Little Mix's Jessie officially is leaving the group. This news broke yesterday while we were live, like knowing that it would just devastate us. And that we needed the time to process it before we could deliver the news to you. But Jessie Nelson has officially left Little Mix after nine amazing years together.

The group put out a statement saying, after nine amazing years together, Jessie has made the decision to leave little mix this is an incredibly sad time for all of us but we are fully supportive of jesse we love her very much and agree that it is so important that she does what is right for her mental health and well-being we are still very much enjoying our little mix journey and the three of us are not ready for it to be over so this statement gave me everything yes like i Like I'm so happy for Jessie that she's putting herself first and taking herself out of a situation that's not what's best for her. But I'm also so happy that the other three girls sound like they're committed to staying in the

band and giving us the little mix that we know and love. Yeah so a lot of people are comparing this statement to the statements of former bands past Fifth Harmony, One Direction. Are they similar? No but it is like, feels like history might be repeating itself. And it's, for some people, they think it could be like the start of the end. But I agree, the statement was very hopeful. And I actually feel like the band could go on.

And it's not about Jessie, but now it's about the other girls' like mental health. Because I feel like this is most similar to One Direction, where it was like Zayn wanted out and they were happy to let him go. And the band existed without him Direction where it was like Zayn wanted out and they were happy to let him go yeah and the band existed without him but then it was like the boys were just like over the the the machine it wasn't even about them and I feel like Little Mix actually has like a really healthy I mean I don't know them but I feel like they have like a healthy balance as a Little Mix stan like I feel really good about the girls in the band I feel

like they like being in the band I feel like they're friends I feel like they don't feel like one of them should be the star and do a solo like that was very clear from the girls in the band. I feel like they like being in the band. I feel like they're friends. I feel like they don't feel like one of them should be the star and do a solo. Like that was very clear from the beginning in Fifth Harmony. Yeah, I don't feel those familiar tensions that you get with the band. So I think with the three of them, I'm just taking that sentence, that last sentence

and like riding that and being like, if they truly like continue to be Little Mix three members for a number of years, like that works for me. And I hope that Jessie finds what she's looking for. A hundred percent. The only thing is that like I think what made Little Mix so unique to other girl bands is like their extreme talent vocally and how they were always doing like four part harmonies and you need a fourth for a fourth part harmony.

As a fan, I can deal with a three part harmony. That's good enough for me. It's not as dynamic, but yes. And also they do have that show that like Little Mix show and maybe like they'll cast a fourth member oh that would be crazy that would be really interesting and I would watch a show like that and I and I'm open to all possibilities as long as Little Mix stays together I just want to say like I want Little like I will move and groove with the changes of Little Mix it's just like so sad how like bands like girl groups and boy bands,

have just like this history and stigma of like almost always breaking up. Like why? And what's a band that you think, boys to men has really lasted the test of time? Well, I think bands that, first of all, all these bands that you're mentioning came together on a talent show.

They're not childhood friends. NSYNC, Backstreet Boys. Okay. Actually, Backstreet Boys are still together. We were talking about One Direction and Fifth Harmony. They came together on talent shows. So they're the machines putting them together. And then I think with bands like NSYNC,

you get that like one person is the bigger star than the others, Justin Timberlake. But also I think when these bands are started, when these people are teenagers, the machine sort of takes advantage of them and then they resent the band. But I think that there's so many bands that are like adult bands, you know, Aerosmith. Like when you're adults being able to make the shots for yourself,

I think that it's easier to stay in the band and have that agency. But I think when you're a child, it's easy to feel taken advantage of because you are being taken advantage of and you blame the band and you just want out from the toxic situation. Yeah. Well, you know what? I know it's a good example. I feel like a healthy band is Maroon 5.

A hundred percent. Because they're adults. Yeah, they're adults. That's actually a really good point. Also, I feel like one of the books that we read for the Redheads this year, The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes, is about the dissolution of a girl band. So I feel like having read that, it gives me like a totally different perspective. And maybe I would have reacted to this news differently if I hadn't read that book but like one of the members left as she needed to and like

I just wanted the world to be kind to her so I just want the world to be kind to Jessie and I think they are I think the Little Mix fans are like really nice people I do um I just have to say like not in any way to make this about me but I did call this several years ago yeah no and I mean it always comes back to you as it should and it also always comes back to the redheads as it should and it always comes back to the toast or whatever it is I think I actually said it for the first time on the morning breath like I've just been I've I had the you know esteemed privilege of seeing them perform in a very intimate concert when I was an intern like eight years ago and I felt a dynamic was off with the girls and Jesse and I said if they ever break up or if any of them were ever to leave it

would be Jesse and here we i hate to be right i do but it happens all the time just another thing 2020 has taken from us so true but it's a positive for jesse so that's how i'm gonna look at it and it's a positive because i still have little mix so why am i complaining yeah no i think we're fine i think we're gonna be fine every little thing speaking of breath throwbacks zach was watching football last night and the announcer said the name bradley boz. Do you know who that is? Of course! He proposed to his girlfriend when he won the college football thing and then they came on our show. They came on our show. He made it to the NFL? Yeah he's in he was on tv last night.

They came on our show like via Skype and it was like a horrible connection so I don't even know what they said but we were so excited to have them on their video went viral when they got engaged it was so pure it just took me back to a different time oh my god Bradley Bozeman I'm so glad he made it to the NFL and him and Nikki are still going strong thank god did they get married yes oh my god when I googled him it was like Bradley and wife Nikki oh my god so cute so cute I just thought that was like a fun memory also I happened to have been watching football as well last night because there was like some big game it was the Baker Mayfields against the Lamar Jacksons and oh that was football what oh the way you were talking about it I thought it was a fight you mean like a yeah yeah just one one-on-one no no no it was football um and Ben was explaining to me I like

Lamar Jackson is like the most amazing quarterback and yada yada yada but he was like missing because he was cramping and he like I saw him they cut to the footage of him like running out of the field to the locker room and I'm like I'm sorry to this man but he has to make a duty like that is obviously what's going on and then I was reading things on the internet like everyone thinks he was like making a duty because he was running with like his ass cheeks like clenched and you know that run we all know it's like a waddle almost and you know what it made me really think like about the stories we don't know about about like professional athletes performers it's like you perform so many shows you play so many games like human nature like you're bound to your your game or your performance is bound to coincide with a bowel movement right

100 and i think we should normalize taking breaks for a bowel movement 100 i was just thinking like i mean i i only went on one tour and I did have diarrhea in Houston. Like I'm not going to lie. So it's like by probability, like the math, it's like Katy Perry has to have diarrhea. Yeah. Shawn Mendes. Yeah. And you also like some people might get nervous before they go on stage.

Right. The stomach drops. Yeah. If you ever want to like stop being attracted to someone, just imagine them having diarrhea. Because I just had like the mental image of Shawn Mendes like sweaty on the toilet like like not feeling good and like his stomach really really hurts and like he's starting to sweat and then he has like an explosion of diarrhea. And I can't be a baby about it. Yeah yeah no no 100% and like I know what I'm like when I'm in a lot of pain on on on the toilet like literally I'm a nightmare and I'm acting so weird and I start

sweating um and so if you're ever wanting to stop, if you're crushing on someone, like someone who's toxic for you, just picture like your toxic ex having crazy diarrhea. That'll do the trick in two seconds. Yeah, no, it definitely does. Or you know what? You can also picture them waiting in a line. Do you know what I mean?

Like doing like awkward human things, like waiting in line and then like eating while standing up, you know, like certain things you can picture them doing that'll make you really like unattractive, make them unattractive to you. I completely agree. I think that's some of the best advice you've ever given. That's what I do here on the holiday season. On the holiday season? I'm giving the gift of advice.

Oh, got it. Okay. Next story, some Lizzo news. Lizzo is defending going on a 10-day juice cleanse. Lizzo responded to backlash after revealing she went on a 10-day juice cleanse. She shared her daily results after drinking green juice every day in a video posted to TikTok on Monday. She said, so I drank a lot and ate a lot of food and fucked up my stomach in Mexico, so I decided to do J.J. Smith's 10-day smoothie cleanse.

While she struggled at times, Lizzo said she was never super hungry and decided to complete the cleanse because she was just wanting to stress eat and do things that were kind of self-harming. Showing off her results on the day of the final detox, she said, I'm going to give you a full twirl. I feel amazing and I think it's great to do a reset to your stomach, especially when you deal with gastrointestinal issues like I do, but I think I look fucking great too, so period period but several TikTok users were slamming the singer on TikTok are so unhappy about absolutely everything yeah calling the body image advocate out for promoting a dangerous diet they said quote not Lizzo doing toxic diet culture one person wrote

with another adding this is not the kind of stuff you should be promoting then Lizzo put out a statement um defending her personal choice she said as you know I would normally be so afraid and ashamed to post things like this online because i feel like as a big girl people just expect if you're doing something for health you're doing it for a dramatic weight loss and that's not the case she said in in reality november stressed me the fuck out i drank a lot i ate a lot of spicy things and that fucked up my stomach and i wanted to reverse it to get back to where i was she said my sleep has improved my hydration hydration, my inner peace, my mental stability. Oh my God, I have to go on a cleanse.

My fucking body, my fucking skin, the whites of my eyes, like I feel and look like a bad bitch. And that's it. I'm a big girl who did a smoothie detox and I wanted to share that with you guys. I got exactly what I wanted out of it

and every big girl should do whatever the fuck they want with their body. Okay, every person, not even just big girls, but I agree. It's like Lizzo just can't win because on her videos where she's just like being herself the comments are fucking atrocious like lose weight like so disgusting okay so now she's doing a cleanse and you're unhappy like

I can't nobody can win just do whatever you want and you know what it's like okay whether or not you believe in diet culture why don't we just all believe in the culture of letting everyone do what the fuck they want I completely agree I loved her statement defending it I love that she didn't apologize like I actually want to try this juice cleanse now I don't because that's exactly what I need no I feel like but you know what Ben came in the other day and he was like he really has been on like a bender like I'm just like eating everything and he we got home from his parents and we had had like a Hanukkah feast and he was like honestly like I just do not feel good. I have not been feeling good.

Like, I really need to cut down. He's like, should I do a cleanse? I'm like, well, sure. And he literally, of course, didn't know how to do a cleanse. Went into the bar cart where we have this like lemon juice and put it in a water bottle and like drank the whole thing, which has nothing to do with Lizzo. But I just thought it was a funny anecdote. But at the same time, it's like, fuck off it's like fuck off it's what it is no and it's

fuck the fuck off no and I feel like normalized people doing whatever the fuck they want first of all but I just feel like we just need to have acceptance for all like all ways of of eating whether that is dieting too you know by the way the way, whether you're pro diet culture, anti diet culture, whether you think diet is now like a bad word. And by the way, I think I am the pinnacle of anti diet culture. Like I just don't believe in any of that stuff, but I will literally never, ever, ever, ever, ever shame or talk about someone else wanting to go on a diet.

That is called a free country. You can do whenever you want. Like I'm just, I don't even want to say I'm like anti-diet culture because then that means I'm again I take a stand no it's just like my personal choice is I don't go on diets you go on diet should I kill you no no it's just like this whole culture of like people doing things that you don't necessarily agree with like let's ruin their lives like but necessarily agree with themselves. They're doing it only on their own. They're not hurting anybody else.

They're not shoving juice down other people's throat. For you to shove your personal opinions on other people, like, take a seat. So I don't believe in that. So I just, that's actually my whole philosophy on life in general. And even when it comes to like politics, like I just can't understand why other people care what other people do. I completely agree. You don't think being gay is cool?

Don't be gay. Like, that's just my philosophy. And if we could all, this is my, this is my, this is my moment. If we could all just get out of each other's vaginas and like stop like looking at your neighbor, like just fuck off. You do you. Let everyone else do them. And there will be world peace.

I swear to God, this is like, this is a philosophy that's going to change the world. And it's called mining your own goddamn business. Agreed. And by the way, this smoothie detox sounds great. I'm going to do it. Thanks, Lizzo, for the tip. No, because that's literally how I feel. And I've actually never done a cleanse before

because I feel like I don't trust any of them. I don't know about any of them necessarily. But Lizzo endorsing one makes me feel like, oh, maybe I should do that. I've never done a cleanse. And you know what? I've never even wanted to do a cleanse. And that's something I'm really proud of. No, I like I need a cleanse. I keep going like this in my spare time because I just feel like so bloated in my chin. OK, well, you look fine. So that's why I need a cleanse. Sure. That's why I wear my hair up to pull it all back. Next story, a little church drama. Selena Gomez quits Hillsong amid Carl Lentz's cheating scandal

now this is like kind of confusing so listen okay not it's pretty straightforward but the implications I'm curious the pop star has moved on from the celebrity favored mega church in the way in the wake of a recent cheating scandal involving embattled pastor Carl Lentz the Daily Mail reported on Monday quote Selena considers herself a, the Daily Mail reported on Monday. Quote, Selena considers herself a Christian, the Daily Mail reported, citing sources from Australia's Daily Telegraph. She says she has a close relationship with God and she believes this is not how God wants us to operate. She's disillusioned.

Gomez was the former friend of Carl Lentz and at one point adored Carl but doesn't want anything to do with Hillsong anymore. But this like makes me curious if she's leaving like in defense of Carl or because, you know what I mean? Because it's like he's out. Read the statement one more time. It's a really confusing story

based on like a source from Australia's Daily Telegraph, but that she says she has a close relationship with God and she believes this is not how God wants us to operate. She's disillusioned. I don't, oh, you know what? That's a really good point. Like we don't want to operate what? Excommunicating someone who made a mistake. Is that what she's saying? No. Or like that mistake that Hillsong like allowed these things to happen. I don't know. The insider said at one stage she adored Carl. Yeah. She, his daughter, Laura and Justin were a team really close. She used to hang out with

the founder's daughter-in-law, Esther. Now she doesn't want anything to do with Hillsong anymore. But so is it like. But so Carl is not Hillsong. Right. So that's curious. I didn't even know that she was still a member. I thought is Justin still a member? Um I'm not. I think so. Yeah so I feel like um they really both couldn't still be members. It says that Haley has unfollowed Carl on Instagram wow yeah it's just interesting no I mean church drama will never not be interesting to me both as a celebrity you know and pop culture enthusiast and a Jew you know what I think we need to watch Righteous Gemstones I've heard that it's like filthy rich but like good is it scripted yeah oh what's it called Right Righteous Gemstones. What channel?

I think HBO. Okay. I'm down. I'm always looking for new content. Yeah, I think it's literal church drama. Church drama. This is just so interesting, but there's just so much ambiguity

and I would really like a full, you know, diagram, event diagram. Who is in what church? Who did what? It's a little confusing because now all these pastors are starting to like look the same.

They all dress like Justin Bieber now. Like rock stars. Yeah, and it's just confusing. so very interesting yeah church drama next story some romance sparking news that's been debunked but just like just a crazy turn of events Kristen Cavallari was spotted out with Austin and Craig from Southern Charm sparking rumors that her and Austin were a thing. Which before it was debunked, I fully thought it was like the cutest couple of all time.

No, I was like here for it. But she also has been like with this guy Jeff Dye. They went to Cabo together. This comedian. Yeah. So she went to dinner in Nashville

with Justin Anderson, Craig, and Austin. Okay. And then they were like on Instagram live dancing. Things looked flirty between Austin and Kristen. People were speculating that they were like an item live dancing. Things looked flirty between Austin and Kristen. People

were speculating that they were like an item. And then Kristen just posted to her Instagram story alongside a video of her rolling her eyes. And she said, I didn't realize I was allowed to have friends that are guys. So she's just saying that her and Austin are just friends. But I'm sorry, this response is like kind of lame. Yeah. It's like, sorry, like we're just matching you with such eligible bachelors. Oh, I wish that was my biggest problem. No, I feel like that would have been an interesting coupling that like I wouldn't expect for her. By the way, 100% and I would have fully supported.

Even though I'm like taking Madison's side. So I don't want like Austin to be like winning in the post relationship era. And Madison said the funniest thing. She said because someone like commented asking like her thoughts she said yeah trust me if he was with her he wouldn't be sending me songs at midnight bless and then she told entertainment tonight she told entertainment tonight I think he's trying to get under my skin which is fine and like honestly if he can pull her go for it knock yourself out I'd be shocked oh my god lol I like I'm so torn on like the Austin and Madison

front like as much as I know I'm supporting them both I'm team Pringle you're team Pringle wow I'm supporting them both no me too 100% I mean I'm so conflicted on whether or not I think they should be together are they OTP but at some point it does get a little tired you know it's like get over it yeah and like at some point maybe they need years apart Austin needs to like grow up grow his brand and be the man that Madison needs yeah and a man that Patricia approves of for Madison yeah but I hate to like look at the world through Patricia's eyes me too but I actually think of all the things and all the opinions and all the fights Patricia has started I think the only thing I actually really

agree with her on and from the beginning was that like Austin was not like good enough for Madison yeah I feel you yeah okay our fifth and final story is probably my favorite story of the day. If you haven't seen this video, please go treat yourself. Just Google Smokey Robinson. But yes, Smokey Robinson doesn't know what Hanukkah is. Sort of. I think that's a little misleading. So Smokey Robinson was asked to do a cameo for this guy for, I guess, his parents.

He got his mom a video. She loves Smokey Robinson. And no she grew up on the same street as him. Oh yeah. And he wanted Smokey Robinson to wish her a happy Hanukkah. He spelled Hanukkah C-H-A-N-U-K-A-H. And at the end of it like it's a long video and then Smokey Robinson goes oh and happy Chanuka. I don't know what Chanuka is but happy Chanuka. But your son wanted me to wish it for you so whatever that is enjoy chinooka yeah it's the funniest thing it's really precious it's so precious it's just like a hilarious precious video and on the one hand it's like he doesn't know what hanukkah is but on the other hand i want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's never seen it spelled with a ch i mean there are two spellings but at the end of the day like they literally look exactly the same and when i

first saw it i'm like oh my god this video is precious and then part of me was like okay wait like also like how do you like exist in America and like not know what Hanukkah is yeah so I want to believe like maybe it was just the spelling but if it's true that like how I don't know Spokie Robinson must be like 75 years old maybe older if you've lived this long and you don't know what Hanukkah is like right that's what I'm saying I think it's slightly spelling and even it's impossible but it's like I can't judge this because that is something that I would do like Dachshund that's true that's true like just seeing a word knowing like thinking for sure i know how it's pronounced and then like my whole world being rocked that's true and it's like i knew what a dachshund was but i never knew that dachshund was dachshund

and that's the same thing he might know what hanukkah is but doesn't know that chenuka is hanukkah has smoky spoken like his statement was not included in this article at the time of publication the video went so viral like he has to respond yeah it's honestly his cameo booking numbers are probably so up now yeah I mean speaking of cameo and I'm jealous because I joined by the way literally our conversation yesterday about Kevin Baumgartner from the office making a million dollars in cameo bookings this year inspired me to join cameo for the holiday season I just wanted to I get so many dms of like people's boyfriends being like, oh, like, can I, can you get me a video? You're not on cameo. So I just thought I would do it. I've never done it before. You used

to do it. I used to do it. I think you're going to be great at it. You think? Yeah. I think that you have all the makings of a cameo star. I just, um, like, oh, I got, I got some bookings. Oh my God. I just uploaded, um, like my little video. I'm very excited about it. So if you guys are looking for a cameo from Claude you can get one on Cameo or tell your significant other that that would be a great gift. Thanks Jax for the promo. You're welcome. I think you're gonna be great. Me too and I just want to make a million dollars like Kevin Baumgartner. Yeah and I mean I'm just gonna give it my all. I was thinking about making Theo a cameo. Yes. And I just wasn't sure like the logistics of like how I would like really make him talk,

you know? Yeah. Well, you could use one of those like animating apps, but I do think you have to film the cameo videos like in app. In app. So I was just like thinking of, you know, how I could exploit Theo for money because, you know, he's costing me an arm and a leg. Well, you guys could be like Claudia and Theo on cameo and then he's in your cameo.

It's definitely going to be a doctor and missus thing. Oh, cute. Yeah. So let's dive into our TV recap, right? Yes, let's. Which is brought to you by Lovebook Online.

Um, okay. TV recap. Like you talk because I literally do not have one thing to say it was such a letdown of an episode the first hour was the um the real episode and then the second hour was the disgrace yeah i i like okay just you say what you think okay the real episode so blake went home after like he tried to pull out all the stops for his date but he also just thought like him being himself was just like enough to win the bachelor and maybe like a few years ago that would have been the case but like

with Tayshia you have to be firing out of every cylinder he just like when he got ready for the date and he was being like interviewed during the date he just like wanted it too bad a hundred percent and he was like trying to like it like squeeze his shoe like his foot into the glass slipper and it wasn't his slipper yeah and it was like he wanted it so bad not because he wanted Tayshia so bad yeah he wanted it so bad because he just wanted to make it to the next round and I don't know how he like didn't die of awkwardness when they were doing that tantric sex thing and like literally looking so close into each other and Tayshia was just like I could feel the cringiness coming from Tayshia yeah I just feel like a rule of thumb if you're on The Bachelor and you get assigned the tantric sex date like the lead doesn't

like you yeah so true because they want to make it awkward they don't want to make it like yeah it's not like where you're actually gonna fall in love and like that's gonna it's supposed to be like a funny awkward thing yeah and it's just like for us here at the Morning Toast like Blake really had a huge fall from grace huge because we loved him yeah no I just I thought he was so cute and then no and then he was like so excited to like bring her home and it's like you actually don't know her. You do not know this girl. You know?

And so it's like, you would be having like your parents win her over for you. Win a stranger over. Put in some work. 100%. And honestly, I think part of the reason why Blake had such a fall from grace moment is because he really started to look like Ed. You know what? I kind of like Ed.

During the mental, I thought Ed was kind of funny. And I think that scene of him and Chris Harrison like drinking wine that was funny hysterical I'm kind of here for Ed I feel like he would be a really great addition to paradise because he's kind of like older and takes himself seriously but it's just a different vibe from the other guys who are like young thirst monsters that's true that's true you know um so after Blake got sent home she just like ran she was like being a little dramatic with all the crying yeah ran to send Riley home which I didn't really understand like why she waited to send certain people home at the rose ceremony but Riley got special treatment like why didn't she just go through them all that night I don't know it was weird but she was obvious I like that she switched it up

didn't see it coming Riley went home then we had a rose ceremony and Noah and Bennett went home I really liked Noah and I know that he was like he was giving me like two different vibes sometimes Sometimes I thought he was a douche and then sometimes I thought he was like a loser. Like I couldn't tell which one he was. I couldn't tell which one he was and when Bennett like really just kind of eviscerated him at the men tell all. He like had they were going back and forth. I thought Noah was like standing his ground but then when Bennett when he was like you said I was division in three of the categories and Bennett was like I was being nice was actually four and everyone started laughing at him. Like I actually felt a little sad for him um and I agree he kind of reminds me of like Dean I feel like just like a cool younger guy I feel like if he goes yes oh

that's a great call that's who he'll be but I just feel like he found himself in this mess and I actually think that him and Bennett are both like fine people yeah and I I thought Bennett performed really well at mental all and came off kind of genuine like when he apologized to Noah I I could accept that at face value and the fact that Noah couldn't just be like thanks man I just was like okay that's a little immature I just like I just can't get myself to care about these people like it's so crazy I know and like the fight was just so manufactured and so fucking stupid where the fuck was chasingasen? Right. They like. They talked about it. Who was it? Who was talking about him? Just like totally.

Ed. Eviscerated him. Yeah. Like was like fake, phony, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, I actually agree with you, but Chasen's not there to defend himself. So it's actually not right to even talk about him. It's not fair. That was weird. So don't bring him up if you can't invite him to Mentel Wall, period.

Nobody like even remember Chasen. We didn't need to talk about it. No, we didn't need to talk about any of them. Like there were some guys sitting there, like the guy who was a boy band manager, who somebody called like the One Direction skinny jean wearing guy. And that was so funny. I'm like, what are you doing here? Like, why are you here? But Chasen's not. And I know why Easy wasn't invited because there's an investigation into him. Someone made allegations of sexual assault. So I know why he wasn't there. But it's like the fact that all these other guys were there that I literally have

never seen in my life. Yeah, it was really was really really random and there was just like not much to unpack especially because they were just trying to make a mountain like they were trying to make substance out of nothing yeah and I feel like Tayshia like as always just like saved the day queen and just like made it seem like so much more substance had substance than it was because there was really nothing there but she just like gave everyone so much respect and I also feel like everyone in that room is in love with her like the way Harrison yeah everyone everyone in that room like all of those men like are genuinely upset that they missed that missed out on her and in so many ways I feel like Tayshia wasn't given a fair chance this season one because of the Claire debacle where it's like she was robbed of like four weeks

two because this like simulation they're living in are they gonna do the hometowns in the resort I think they're gonna bring the families to the resort yeah and then the fantasy suites in different corners of the resort like it's just so weird like it's just it's a simulation and of course honestly when she was crying so much I'm like she's being dramatic but it's like she's in a prison of this hotel like of course emotions are heightened I understand but it's like in so many ways this is such a fake season and I feel like whoever she ends up with which I have my theory is who it is who do you think I think it's Zach okay because now here's our final four Ben Zach Ivan Brendan

or Ben no I don't think it's Ben really the? The thing is like Tayshia gives so much of her soul to like all these guys and I'm like she's in love with Brendan and I love Brendan but something he's I think he might be like a little too introverted for her that's the only thing I don't really see them like having amazing conversation I feel like Tayshia's like pull stuff out of him. But opposites attract. Yeah but like when you're as effervescent as me and Tayshia are like you want someone on your level. Yeah. And I feel like Ben is like can keep up. And I really feel like Zach is like, he was married before, right?

Yeah. And I just feel like they're on the same level. But then I feel like Ivan, I feel like they have a really deep connection. Ivan reminds me of like Rachel Lindsay or almost when Jojo had like such a good friendship with Vinny. Remember? I feel like Ivan and Tayshia are like such good friends. don't like get sexual energy from them at all that's an interesting call and everyone loves Ivan he's definitely bachelor material and the fact that he made it this far is good for him in the future like maybe you know after Matt James's season we'll get

uh an Ivan season but I don't see them like being in love I see them like literally being like brother and sister like best friends that's interesting I feel like I could argue why any of them might win or why they wouldn't like I I don't feel like that's interesting I feel like I could argue why any of them might win or why they wouldn't like I I don't feel like there's a clear someone who doesn't have any reasons why I can't see them together what don't you like about Zach like what don't you see I just don't like see it I just feel like he's been a winner like a front runner from the beginning for sure maybe I don't know but remember when they had those coins that was him right yeah he's just like always been cute yeah okay I feel that I don't know it'll be interesting at least like we really don't know

it's not like Jordan and Jojo right that's what I like but who does Jimmy Kimmel say Ben I feel like maybe oh maybe Ben or Zach not that like Jimmy Kimmel is like the end-all be-all but no but he usually has a good pulse right I just don't know how he knows that like yeah I like sometimes I remember I accidentally spoiled Ben Hagen season for myself and said the winner was Lauren Bushnell and I'm like who is Lauren Bushnell like I'd never heard of her yet like I literally didn't even notice her yeah you only know Lauren Lane that's true Stan Lauren Lane um so all in all wah wah wah yeah yep and so we'll see you again tonight for The Bachelor and, oh, The Bachelor because it's Tuesday.
