Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. It is a beautiful
Monday in New York City. Hello, my sister Claudia. How you doing?
Hi, Jax. I'm good. I'm, you know, I'm okay. I was a little hungover yesterday because
what else is there to do? And I'm feeling a little better today. You know, it was one
of those hangovers where you look up and it's like 6 o'clock and you're like, where the
fuck did the day go? But I went to bed early. My new mattress is like really killing it.
So I'm feeling, I'm feeling sprightly for this Monday morning.
Those are the best kinds of hangovers though, because then you're not suffering through
the whole day if you're just wondering where it went.
That's true.
And like when you sleep so late, take a nap and go to bed early.
Like I think that's the perfect formula.
Yeah, of course.
When you just spend the entire hangover sleeping.
Yeah.
Nice. Well, it was a busy, crazy weekend, honestly. It was half great, half not great.
Half crazy. Half crazy. So something that we wanted to talk about today, because a lot of people have probably seen all the group drama, Toastmageddon, on Saturday. It was my husband's
30th birthday, and we found a way to
get the family together in a private space that was in accordance with all of the guidelines that
we have been given up until this point in quarantine. And then late Saturday night,
Sunday, it just Toastmageddon descended. Everyone is so upset with us for organizing in this way
and posting about it. And we want to come on here and address pretty
much every single mean thing or just concerning thing that people have said about what we did,
because we did not feel like we were doing anything wrong, which is why I posted a photo.
I know Ben posted a photo. We weren't doing it to be like, fuck quarantine. If I thought we were
doing something wrong, I would never have posted a photo.
And if I thought we were doing something wrong and not taking it seriously, we wouldn't have
been doing it.
If we thought we were just like had no regard, like we would be in our studio every day.
Right, right.
So I just want to kind of take you through like what led us to Saturday and why we decided
to get together and where we got together and all of the context behind it.
Because maybe if you just see a photo that we posted, you think that we're just, you know,
shirking all of the rules. But if you listen to this show, you know that we've taken coronavirus
seriously since January. We've taken quarantine extremely seriously since March 13th. We've been
like insisting and trying to get everyone to stay home and find fun ways for you guys to stay home
and engage with us and give you movies and give you shows to watch. And like, this is all we do is be in quarantine that we leave our
apartments when we need essentials and maybe go out for fresh air once every three days. We are
taking quarantine so seriously. So the accusation that we aren't, it just, it comes out of nowhere,
especially for people who say that they watch our show. Yeah, no, like this narrative that now
we're like the deniers trying to, you know,
protest City Hall. It's like, why would anyone ever think that? So I guess they think that
because we got together on Saturday, but let's give some context as to how and where we got
together because yesterday was a beautiful day in New York City. So was Saturday. It was just
a beautiful weekend after coming off of weeks of bad weather. Tons of New Yorkers went to parks, were in the streets, went for walks.
Everyone was, I saw Andy posted that he went for a walk with his son.
Beautiful thing, beautiful day.
Never thought twice about it.
Even if you saw photos of parks, there's so many people in the parks and it's like, yeah,
that's not great for social distancing, but a lot of people have the same idea.
You know, we don't get that much fresh air in New York.
It was a beautiful day.
We decided to celebrate my husband's birthday on one of our rooftops. We all live, if you watch
the show, you also know we all live within about a five block radius of one another. I have to walk
further to go to the grocery store or to pick up my prescription. Then I have to walk to go to where
we were. Now we take every single necessary precaution when we leave our apartments. We wear masks. We
wear gloves. We have also been in quarantine since March 13th, as has every member of our family.
Now, I know some people are going to say, but you were going into the studio. So we stopped, even
though we were taking every single precaution and being extremely careful, we stopped going into the
studio. And then we quarantined again for another two weeks before we even thought about seeing each other. Then on
Saturday, we got together in a private space with tons of air and space for ourselves as opposed to
going to a park and being near other people. And we enjoyed our lives as a family. The comments
and responses that we've gotten, listen, if it's not something that you would do and you don't
think that it's by the
book, don't do it. We are taking all the information that we are getting, we are taking it so seriously
and we had one day of reprieve on a beautiful day in a private safe space where we felt safe
amongst people who we know are quarantining and taking all of the necessary steps.
Right. What was so frustrating was like this fake concern from like people who
are just so evil online, like saying these most awful things. And like in our group saying awful
things about us, our family, our sister, like attacking our fucking pregnant sister, DMing her
on Instagram. Like how is that? How, how are these two things equal? Like what kind of world are we
living in where that is the correct response? I don't understand. And like everyone is entitled to their own opinion, a hundred percent.
But if you don't like what I'm doing, that's fine.
But like, you don't have to attack my entire family, post our fucking address because you're
mad about something like close your computer, go.
I mean, you need some fucking fresh air.
It's, it's, it's a, it's a crazy time.
And I feel like we are, we've been trying to do everything.
We're not trying to shirk any rules. And if we were, we've been trying to do everything. We're not trying to
shirk any rules. And if we were, we would not be posting about it. We were not on our phones
on Saturday. I took a cute picture of the boys. I was in my bed on my phone later in the day,
just going through the pictures. And I was like, wow, what a sweet picture. I just want to share
that with my followers. You know, you're all like follow our family. And I never thought I was
setting a bad example. And so I understand though,
if it's not something that you would choose to do,
if you don't think that it's by,
if you're following the rules,
everyone is having varying degrees
of taking this seriously,
but we thought it through.
We've been extremely careful
and we had an amazing day
that honestly gave me the like spirit
and gusto that I needed to continue to sit at home and buy my time and paint my nails and read my books.
Totally. It was so disappointing. Like I agree.
Like everyone is reacting differently to this.
I feel like we've been taking it really seriously.
Like from the beginning reporting on it,
like quarantining as much as possible. Like we have a mom who's older.
We have a sister who's pregnant. Like, of course,
these are major concerns.
So this just like narrative being thrown at us
that we're some sort of like animals
who are trying to, you know,
get everyone in New York.
Coronavirus is so upsetting, so silly,
and just this misinformation now being posted
all over Twitter, all over our Facebook groups.
It's like, this is insane, honestly.
It's really, really unfair in my opinion.
And if you don't agree with anything that i did
i i love that i'm so happy that everyone has differing opinions that's what makes
this world and this country so fucking fabulous but like whatever happened to just like civil
discourse like when did we go from just like and i get that this is heightened in uh in this
climate it's definitely heightened like this sense this sense of cancellation, but, like,
what, I think what I woke up to on Sunday was, like, so insane, so upsetting, and so fucking nuts
that I just don't even know where to go from here. Yeah, and I just want to say, like, this concern
for our sister and for our mom, um, if you think you're more concerned for them than we are,
yeah, like, we're them than we are. Yeah.
Like we're not, we're not dumb.
We literally, our job is to learn about coronavirus,
tell you what we've learned.
Like we have, we know, we know a lot.
We would never put other people in danger,
specifically our family, strangers, older people.
We would never, we would never do that. So why don't, why don't we just get the benefit of the doubt ever?
Like, oh, these girls, once again,
they're striking up their pitchforks and they're like, why don't we just ever get the benefit of the doubt? Like oh these girls once again they're striking up their pitchforks
and they're like why don't we just ever get the benefit of the doubt like that we took the
precautions from our own fans it's just so upsetting like everyone just thinks like every
time it's like we are evil we are evil i'm like we got them look they did something evil they
showed us their true colors no actually no i feel like i for the most part in this world i mean well
i really do totally and also i just want to address like I for the most part in this world I mean well I really do totally and
also I just want to address like some of the specific concerns because people saw this photo
maybe without context you think we're just going off book um they don't know how their faces no
where was this place how did we get there did we uber there we're walking through crowded lobbies
on our way there I want to let you know what it takes for me to leave my apartment. I leave, the doors are wide open. One, because it's either a
beautiful day or I have a doorman or some of the buildings that I enter have automatic doors. I do
not touch a single thing. I'm not walking through crowded lobbies. And then I walk the two blocks
that I needed to walk. Maybe I passed two people. I'm wearing a face mask and gloves. So all of your
concerns that you're coming up with,
like those aren't real.
And if you just gave us the benefit of the doubt to know that we're educated people following the rules
and taking this seriously, you wouldn't be so concerned.
Yeah, it was just like such a disappointing weekend
and like really made me like not wanna
like share my life anymore.
Yeah, I totally understand that.
It's like a vicious cycle where it's like, they want more and more. And then it's like,
it's just, it's exhausting to like want to give people more and then you give them more and it's like, they just pick it apart. Like living under this microscope is impossible. Like,
how do people do it? I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm like not well.
No, it's impossible. And then, but you also have to
walk this line of, okay, it's the people who are picking you apart are the people who don't like
you. And they never actually, maybe at one point they liked you. At least they say that they are
OG brothers, but everyone apparently was. But then there are people who love you and do still want
you to post. And so it's like, but you only hear from the horrible people. And by the way, I don't
even want to hear from the people who support us because then
they get picked apart.
Everyone, when it's time for a toastmageddon, everyone should stay quiet.
The group has just become like this awful place where like, like Olivia had to delete
like that.
Like, I'm not even mad about like people being mad at me.
Like I can deal with it to a certain degree, but like people coming from my fucking pregnant
sisters, like where I draw the line.
Yeah.
Anyways,
we have made a decision that has been a long time coming.
We are going to be muting this main group,
the main morning toasters,
Facebook group indefinitely.
Maybe it'll be a day,
a week,
a month.
We don't know.
We just know that everybody needs a reset after Saturday.
I kind of,
we stopped kind of moderating the group yesterday and it was just a reset after Saturday. Um, I kind of, we stopped kind of
moderating the group yesterday and it was just a dumpster fire. That's what happens when you
guys want to say what you want and talk about us. Um, so we just don't see places and we just don't
see the point anymore. Like there's always been this negative undercurrent in the group where
there's mean people and they're mean to each other, but the group has always been a overall
good, good things come out of it.
Friendships are made. People are meeting up. Tea is spilled. We don't see the good right now anymore
in the main group. There's great things happening in the subgroups, but the main group has just
become a place where people go at each other and at us for sport. People have been going at us in
the main group since we launched it, and we're're used to it but the way you guys talk to each other it's just it's not it's not productive and it's we don't feel
like it's making a positive impact on anything anymore so it will be muted until maybe there's
just like a change in the way we all decide to talk to each other until I feel like my mental
health can take it because it's just like been this like way where like people just can say
negative things about us. And it's like, if we delete it, we are muting, censoring people. And
it's like, I just don't really feel like I should have to sit back and watch you say fucking horrible
things about my family. And then also admit that you don't even watch my show. I'm not muting you
because I can't hear mean things about me. I take a lot of criticism, but if you're literally saying
something evil and then also admitting, this is why I haven't listened to the girls in over a year, you're out. Like that's the
one premise for getting in this group. The one premise for being in the group and in the community
is to be a toaster. My favorite is when people don't understand, okay, I got kicked out of the
main group because I'm a hater and I don't like the show and I don't like the girls, but why the
subgroups? Uh, okay. Because it's tipsy toasters, steamy Swifties, you're fucking steen and you hate
us. Yeah. And it's like, honestly, it's so taxing on, steamy Swifties. You're fucking steen and you hate us?
Yeah, and it's, like, honestly, it's so taxing on my mental health to just, like, see so many just lies.
Like, even with this post about our photo that we posted,
like, that got blown up 6,000 comments, the girls deleted it.
Actually, no, we didn't.
The original poster deleted it and she left the group.
But, like, does anyone care about the semantics or the truth?
No.
No.
Nope.
So that's the decision. We'll see you in the subgroups, real toasters. No. And the real toasters, this isn't for you, but I'm sure you're glad to see us taking out the trash for once and
for all, because you know what? It's enough. If the quarantine has taught me anything, I mean,
it's taught me a lot of things, but mostly just taught me what's important, what I value, what I
care about. And it's not people who hate me. So.
Yeah. I don't know who the group is currently made up of, but it's really not toasters. Cause
I feel like I used to pride like our group and our community on the fact that it's like,
it's so many different people from so many different walks of life who have this innate
ability on the internet to like have civil discourse. And it's like, they don't always
agree, but there's like this mutual respect and love for one another that i thought made us so special and it did but we are not special anymore
like we are reddit we are gomi like we are the worst places in the world yeah we're the worst
of the groups we're the biggest group and we're the worst and it's it's the party's over trolls
the party's you said it sis oh my god i'm sorry i got like so choked up i wasn't planning on crying
it was just like yesterday was really, one of the worst days.
Yeah.
No, it.
And you know what?
It's, like.
It's, like, it was painful.
You think that I would be used to this because everyone's, like, once again, Claudia.
But it's, like, there's such a different thing going on here.
Like, when I had come on and apologized, like, it's because I fucked up.
Like, I'm never too proud to admit that I fucked up. Like I am never too proud to admit that I fucked up. And it's like,
I actually don't have a pit about coming on here and owning my shit, which I've done many times
before because I'm confident enough and I have enough pride to be like, yeah, I fucked up. I'm
a person. Spoiler alert. Yeah. I fuck up a lot actually. But with something like this, I just
had such a pit because it's like, I feel so misunderstood. Yeah. And I feel like every time
something happens, whether we're, we're wrong and we're admitting it, or we're not seeing where
people are coming from, or people are just assuming the worst in us. It's like, people use that to say
we're terrible people. They're showing their true colors. It's like, no, we're just showing you that
we're human beings like that. Yeah. We, we fucked up and we're going to fuck up again. Like, because
we're just people. Yeah. And to be honest, like this is a PSA. Like if you are someone who is easily triggered by
people making mistakes and there are people like that, I generally just feel like you should turn
the show off. It is not for you. Like I am far from perfect. I probably make more mistakes than
the average person, but I also happen to live under this microscope that of course I made the
choice for myself to do,
but I didn't expect to be so large. So if you are someone, this is a trigger warning. If you are
someone who cannot handle people, people making mistakes or people doing things that you disagree
with, I really encourage you to find a show that maybe would trigger you less because this is not
going to ever be that type of show. Yeah. And like, also this is a type of show where, you know,
we say the things that you're thinking or that you say to your friends, but no one else is saying.
And if you want to hear, you know, the sweetness and light and everything with a positive spin,
this isn't a show for you. That's cool. That's cool. Yeah. But if you want to hear people talk
the way you and your friends talk and just having an honest conversation and, and we actually do
think before we speak most of the time and still sometimes we fuck up,
but it's just a little bit more unfiltered.
This is the place for you.
Yeah, this whole incident really led me to this cliff
where it's like, I'm done with this narrative
that we are evil people.
And every time we make a mistake,
it's like we're unveiling our true colors.
I'm done with that.
I'm not a bad person.
And I'm done with people on the internet telling me that I am so many times that I start to believe it.
Yeah.
But real toasters, no.
Real toasters, no.
RTK.
RTK.
Real toasters, no.
And that's why we're going to still do an episode.
And subgroups are popping.
And it's going to be great.
So if you're no longer a toaster, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's not for everyone. In the words of Danielle Staub, you either are going toaster, it's okay. It's okay. It's not for everyone.
It's okay.
In the words of Danielle Staub, you either are going to love me or hate me.
There is no in between with me.
And that is so true.
Yeah, it's so true.
But if you are here to stay, then we've got the fast-sized stories that you need to know
before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.
And that's true, Jackie.
But I put on a little makeup today because our first ad is so fabulous.
I felt like I couldn't be looking like a gray-faced goblin when talking about Cherry.

Thanks, Cherry.
Okay, first story.
I also, I watch so much TV and just content this weekend.
I'm excited to talk about in our TV recap segment.
Yes, this Cherry.
Who that's brought to us by.
This Cherry reminded me that I watched another episode of James Charles' YouTube show,
and I have a lot of thoughts.
Okay, cool. We'll get into it.
But first up, the Kids' Choice Awards hosted a virtual show.
I'm excited to hear your thoughts,
but after being postponed by the coronavirus pandemic,
the Kids' Choice Awards held a virtual telecast to dole out the slime and the awards.
Victoria's star Victoria Justice hosted the show on Saturday,
about six weeks after the original date.
In addition to the awards and slime given out, the show made a $1 million donation to No Kid Hungry,
a national campaign to help end childhood hunger and support people affected by COVID-19.
The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, and Jeremy Renner
made a special appearance during the broadcast.
Their blockbuster superhero movie, Avengers Endgame, won favorite
movie, and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was voted favorite superhero. Wait, okay, you know I always
roll my eyes about a virtual telecast, but there's two things that are fabulous here. One is I feel
like the audience who actually would watch the Kids' Choice Awards would probably not mind this.
Like, they don't have to turn on the TV. They're constantly scrolling their phones. Like as much as I hate a virtual telecast for something that I was looking
forward to, I actually think like generationally, this makes a lot of sense. And I've heard of a lot
of virtual telecasts, but none of them that have donated a million dollars to No Kid Hungry. So I
think that's just fabulous. My only problem here is the choice with Victoria Justice to host.
Well, you know what? Okay. So I actually saw a lot of videos going around. I think it was probably on Pop Crave, like some of the highlights from the KCAs. And
I saw Victoria Justice like sliming herself in her backyard with her sister, I think. And I thought
it was really cute. And then I followed Dove Cameron and she posted her acceptance for favorite
like movie actress. And she was funny. She was like, you know, I'm sorry, Angelina Jolie. That
was like when Cole Sprouse beat Brad
Pitt and Leo. And it's like, that's what the fans wanted. She won for Descendants 3. And so I had
just seen little videos from the telecast and I thought it was really well done. I love that they
got the slime to people. People had their awards. They made their little speeches. And I think it's
way better than postponing it. You know, it would be another six months before they can do this
again. And by then it's like, let's focus on next year. So I thought it was way better than postponing it. You know, it would be another six months before they can do this again.
And by then it's like, let's focus on next year.
So I thought it was a great way.
And also it's just, it's a sign of the times.
Yes.
I saw David Dobrik was like making so much content because he won second year in a row for like favorite YouTuber, favorite influencer.
And it's like, he's like so famous.
And like Kylie gets in his videos, Justin Bieber, but like he has so much pride about
both of his kids choice awards.
Like he really considers them to be like some of the most, his biggest accomplishments with, I just think is so funny.
Um, and it's cute. I mean, the KCAs like are iconic and they really are for the kids. When
we were kids, we used to watch them all the time. Obviously we don't watch them now cause we're big
dopes, but like they are for the kids. Yeah. And I like love that they've kept the tradition of
slime. It's like so dumb, but in these like days, kids are obsessed with slime. Like they make slime, they film it on
their channels. Slime is like this cultural moment that I feel like the KCAs was really early in on.
Oh, for sure. They invented slime. Totally. Can you keep talking? I'm so fucking hot. I think
my air conditioning went off. Give me a second. Yeah. I'm going to tell you who won some of the
awards. Favorite kids TV show, Henry Danger.
This story just makes you feel old.
Favorite family TV show, Stranger Things.
Favorite reality show, America's Got Talent.
Favorite TV host, Ellen.
Excuse me?
How much did you pay for that award?
For Ellen's Game of Games.
Favorite animated series, SpongeBob.
Favorite female TV star, Millie Bobby Brown.
Favorite male TV star, Jace Norman. That's the first name from all of this that I've actually
never heard before, but he's from Henry Danger. Can I just say something like the Ellen thing,
why it's particularly strange? Because adults are like really turning on Ellen, but I don't
think kids ever really liked her. Well, you know, she has the kids on and she plays her games. Oh,
that's true. Actually, she's like always the first person to get, like, a viral kid on.
It's like she has them on fucking speed dial.
Yeah, no, she definitely does.
But, and, you know, and it's people who, like, have enjoyed some viral kids,
we're grateful, but then she needs them.
Except that, yeah, that interview she gave with Mason Ramsey
was, like, literally bullying at its finest.
No, for sure.
But, like, the best thing she ever did was Noah Ritter.
Oh, my God. What is Noah Ritter up to? Those were the days. for sure but like the best thing she ever did was no ridder oh my god what is those up those were
the days those were the days that was like right before we got full confirmation that ellen was the
devil and like part of you really believe she was like this sweet old lady who like loved helping
out little kids who like lived in rural america yeah yeah now we know um what was this thing the power ball he was the apparently kid
and apparently yeah really cute do you want to hear more winners sure i don't know i feel like
it's an interesting sign of the times like what the kids are doing yeah no we need to keep up with
the kids so like what are they listening to favorite movie avengers endgame yeah that was
the big movie this year. Favorite movie actress,
dubbed Cameron Mal, Descendants 3.
Descendants 3 is trash.
Watched it last weekend.
I just can't believe how they fucking botched
the series upon the finale.
You know how you know Descendants 3 was a bad movie?
Yeah.
Because even Margot said it was bad.
Like Margot is the type of stan.
We talk about different types of stans on this show.
And with certain things,
Margot is a completely blind, deaf stan stan like she does not care what you do what you
say like she will love and support you show up at your house like she just there's so many people
like hannah brown she's one of those people and when with descendants i thought margo was that
way too like margo just loves like the worst stuff just because she loves the people in it it's like
actually really sweet and endearing um she fucking sweet and endearing. She fucking hated Descendants 3. I'm like, oh shit. Like she wish she was ride or die AF
for Descendants.
Yeah. We both were. We had a Descendants 3 viewing party at my house and like,
it was also, we just like, people kept calling me and something was going on and we were getting
distracted. It took us like five hours to watch a movie and it was terrible. Also, I realized
something about Stanhood in like all of this. Because you always say like even –
Stanning means knowing when someone's wrong and telling them.
I disagree.
I think – and I think I'm more on like Margo's page where it's like
I think Stanning is like really loving everything about someone
and just like the way that I feel about Kim.
And it's like even if Kim did something that I didn't agree with,
I stan and I trust her enough to know that like with the information she has,
she made the best decision for herself. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. No, by the way, I don't think you can really
define stanhood in one term. I think there's like four or five different types of stans.
In terms of like blind, in terms of blind stanhood, you know, like I don't think it's
blind. I think it's just like having faith in the person that you love that they're doing the
right thing. I think that's actually quite accurate and beautiful.
Thank you, Claudia.
That's beautiful.
If you're a blind stan who just like assumes
that the person you love
is like doing something calculated and fucked up,
it's like, what does that say about you?
Like you respect someone like that?
Yeah, and also if you think that they're capable of that,
why do you love them?
Right, no, that's actually really true.
I do feel like there's so many layers to Stanhood.
Like some are so toxic, but like there's a textbook that should be written about it.
I think we should write it.
Yeah, for sure.
Okay.
I'm going to move on from this story.
I know how upset you'll be.
But actually, wait.

music star, Jojo Siwa. Favorite female sports star, Alex Morgan. Favorite male sports star,

Yeah, it's really like the People's Choice Awards, like, in terms of, you know, popularity, but for the younger set. I'm here for it. The kids are all right, you know?
There's also the Teen Choice Awards, right?
The TCA's.
the tcas yeah that's where taylor swift like got an award and it was the weirdest show like it's all outside at venice like on the santa monica pier weird and then there's also like the television
critics association so some people will be like i was at the tcas this weekend it's like you go to
teen choice awards remember that week when all that confusion happened? Like when people were posting from the TCAs and it's like, well, you're old.
Bob Saget, why were you at the Teen Choice Awards?
Okay, next story is really crazy.
And I think it's true, but I also like don't believe it.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spill the tea in new royal biography.
Okay, there's been so much misinformation about them these days.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke with their journalist friends for a tell-all biography
that discusses their dramatic departure from the British royal family and their new life as
commoners. The authors of Finding Freedom, Harry and Meghan and Making of a Modern Royal Family
interviewed the duo before they left the United Kingdom for Canada before
eventually settling in Los Angeles. Okay. So I guess they, someone's writing this book called
Finding Freedom about Harry and Meghan and they did participate in an interview for it.
Oh. That's different. I thought they wrote a book about themselves called Finding Freedom and I'm
like, what the fuck? Oh, that, that would be like a weird first move out of the royal family,
like writing a book. A book would be fine, but like that, that would be like a weird first move out of the Royal family. Like writing a book,
a book would be fine, but like that title wouldn't be. Yeah. I feel like kind of thirsty these days.
It's just so funny. Like what you thought people would never do versus what they do,
especially in quarantine, like Megan joined a zoom. I heard. Yeah. You know what? I feel like
there are some people who obviously, you know, quarantine is not convenient for anyone,
but there are some people who it's really gotten in the way of their like upwards trajectory.
I feel like the girls from the season of The Bachelor, like Hannah Ann, she was just stopped
dead in her tracks.
She was on her way to superstardom.
There'll be no paradise.
Probably.
That's like alleged, you know, and like this was like, these were the months when you're
a Bachelor star, like you get a few good months.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why they're all working so hard on TikTok.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you know what?
I respect the hustle.
Yeah, that kind of sucks because obviously there's a lot of benefits
of going on The Bachelor, but for the most part,
when your season airs, it's just mostly embarrassing.
But then all the follow-up that you get, like the work, the paradise,
the trips, it makes up for the shame that you to like have your family watch you gyrate on a man
on national television. But now that they're not getting any of the follow-up, it's like almost
not even worth it. Yeah, no, I actually like feel for them. I feel like they are very upset with the
timing of everything. You know what I mean? Because like they- My Kenna must be just rolling her eyes
to the back of her head every time she wakes up. I saw
the Thursday TikTok of her this morning. Yeah, but she's taking her talents to TikTok.
And by the way, she's doing good. She has like hundreds of thousands of followers. So
we have no choice but to respect the hustle. I'm not going to lie.
No, I respect hustle in whatever form it comes in. Also, the book is like, it's a biography.
Description says it, quote, goes beyond the headlines to reveal unknown details of Harry and Megan's life together, dispelling the many
rumors and misconceptions that plague the couple on both sides of the pond. Um, you know what I'm
thinking? Like, maybe I'll read this. It just depends who is writing it. I'll have to do a
little research. Yeah. Is it, it's a biography. So like someone else is writing it, I'll have to do a little research. Yeah. It's a biography. So like someone else is
writing it about them. Like what a loser. Yeah. And they're participating in it. I feel like when
you're at that level, you just like let biographies happen to you and you're like, oh, another one.
Unless you want to like take control. And I feel like now this is actually a really like
non-thirsty way for them to get their side of the story out. Because obviously now that this book,
anyone could write a biography about Meghan and Harry,
but this one has their interview in it
and it'll be everywhere.
It will be popular.
It will change like what people are saying.
So it's actually a kind of strategic move for them
to like get involved with,
and they obviously like are gonna,
they have a relationship with this person.
This person's not gonna just bash them.
You don't just do an interview with a random person.
Like there's history for sure.
Right.
Interesting.
But I don't know. I feel like they could write a memoir, you know,
and just come right out with it. Yeah. I feel like not yet. I don't, I honestly,
I know it seems like they've been around for forever, but I don't think that they've lived
long enough to like really have a full book to write. Like their story is still so open-ended.
I think they have enough to write, but the story's not even close to over.
So why would you, unless we, like, you know,
maybe it could be a trilogy.
Totally. Speaking of trilogies,
did you see that What's-Her-Face is writing another book,
The Twilight Girl?
Stephanie Meyer?
Yeah, she, like, ended the series,
but she is now writing another book.
It was, like, big news.
Oh, that's exciting.
Now that I'm a book person, maybe I'll read it.
Yeah, but, like, begs the question. The movie. Oh, that's exciting. Now that I'm a book person, maybe I'll read it. Yeah, but like begs the question, the movie.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's exciting.
Imagine.
Imagine if we got Rob and Kristen back together on the silver screen.
Wait, she's writing another Twilight book?
Yes.
It's a vampire book, a part of, let me just get the right story.
It's not going to be about Edward and Bella.
Like, it's probably going to be about, you know, some ancillary character,
maybe Jessica, you know?
Yeah, maybe.
Jacob.
She announces a new Twilight novel over a decade after the original series
publication.
Her prequel to the Twilight series is coming out August 4th,
she announced on her website.
Oh, that's going to be great.
Yeah.
That'll probably be like about, what's his name?
Dr. Cullen.
Yeah.
What's his name?
It's like on the tip of my tongue.
It's a weird name.
It's like.
Esme and.
Yeah, just look it up.
Peter Fotch. Peter F fudge what's his name peter facetelli no the the first name of dr cullen what's his first name i'm trying to look it up
um his name is peter facetelli facinelli stop just give us his name. Dr. Cullen. Carlisle. Carlisle. Do you know,
you probably do because I've already told you on the show that according to Forbes,
Carlisle, Dr. Carlisle Cullen is the richest fictional character ever. You did tell me that
because something about inflation. No. Well, actually, I don't know if it was ever, but it's
like top 10. Yeah. It's because also he's been alive for 100 years and he made some good investments
along the way and he's a billionaire and that's what really i heard that bella was after 100
they should make an origin story where bella yeah that's exciting i actually um i'm not gonna watch
to read the book obviously but i'll watch going to watch or read the book, obviously,
but I'll watch a movie. I might read the book now that like I'm into these people and I rewatched
the series. What's the word for a series of movies? Franchise. I guess. I feel like there's
more of a eloquent word and it's not trilogy because it's like five movies, you know? No,
it's franchise. Okay. I rewatched the franchise a few weeks ago, as you guys know.
And if you haven't done it yet, treat yourself.
It is a treat.
I made Ben watch it too when he was loving it.
Oh, my God.
And even those movies that you think were bad about the newborns
and when they go to the Voltair-y, still good.
Still good.
The Voltair one is a great movie.
It's just frustrating because you don't get to see Rob and Kristen together at all.
Yeah, no, it's frustrating.
But it's still good.
Like, yeah, I'm not going to watch it every day.
Because we used to watch Twilight 1 every day.
So then we're like, we can't watch this.
It's trash.
You know what's so funny?
What?
Voltair.
Hair.
Hair. Okay. Are you ready what's so funny? What? Voltaire hair. Hair.
Okay.
Are you ready for our next story?
This one's for you because I didn't watch Thunder King.

really have anyone to talk to and i just think everyone needs to get on Talkspace. It's the future of therapy. Talkspace is always so great, but especially in quarantine, it's definitely
exactly what we need to help us get through. It is so taxing on the mental health in general. And
I feel like obviously there's so many other concerns that people aren't as concerned,
but we are here for you. And so is Talkspace. And it's important.
It is. Okay.
Carole Baskin was hoaxed into her first video interview since the Tiger King release.
Carole Baskin has given her first interview since the premiere of the Netflix series Tiger King.
On Sunday, British YouTubers Josh Peters and Archie Manners released a YouTube video claiming they hoaxed her into doing the interview by pretending to work for Jimmy Fallon and his
late night show, The Tonight Show. The pair lied to Baskin, telling her that their production company,
Invisible Object, worked with Fallon to secure celebrity interviews for his show.
Then they told her she would be interviewed by Fallon via Zoom conference call, but in reality,
they used soundbites from old clips of the late night show to conduct the interview.
After rejecting their proposal twice, she agreed to the interview on the grounds that she would not be asked about the Netflix talkie series, which she has repeatedly criticized for
spreading misinformation. When she finally joined the call for the interview, she was told she would
not be able to see Fallon, but would only hear him asking her questions. Manners, who acted as a
producer, coached her through the quote interview, while Peters stood by ready to play soundbites from
The Tonight Show. Okay, look, I get that this is like funny youtube carol baskin killed her husband but like
this is like kind of like unethical it's beyond unethical i didn't watch the series so i don't
know i know like carol baskin killed her husband whacked him um you know there's no proof can't
tell me that it didn't happen but i don't know maybe like husband was... I don't know anything about her husband. Maybe he was
a big piece of shit and we're all glad that she killed him. I have no
idea how people feel towards her.
All I know is that this is seriously
unethical. I don't know that
there are any laws against it, but
then the article goes on to quote
what she said in the interview, but
this is the first interview that she's done.
She's one of the biggest stars.
This seems really fucked up to me.
Now you can tell me,
how do people feel about her?
So when you watch a documentary,
it was obviously very biased in the sense that they just wanted to paint it.
Like she killed her husband.
There was never really any full proof.
Like she was just really shady around the time that her husband died and she
probably did kill him.
But in the court of law,
there was never really,
she was never really considered like a full suspect. And's not there's no body there's no nothing like
okay and not disappear not that you should ever documentary not that you should ever made everyone
not that you should not that you should ever kill your husband doesn't matter like the
circumstances but like was he a good guy or a bad guy like are you rooting for her like
he was a good guy well that's but they painted it the way that they wanted to paint it so like nobody
actually really knows but he seemed like a nice guy she totally like wanted him for his money like
the way the documentary painted it is the way that the world sees it now because nobody knows this
random man named don who died in florida but at the end of the day like she was an animal rights
activist who just like wanted to um like help exotic animals and now she's like this
worldwide um villain and it's like kind of sad because there's a very strong possibility like
she didn't kill her husband nobody knows but the documentary really just swayed the entire nation
into believing that she did myself included but like at the end of the day she's not in jail and
nobody knows for sure but like you never know so i just think like this is she must be having like
a really bad month and this is just
like a pile on. And you're right. Something about this does seem like it could be illegal.
I don't know what it's like entrapment. I don't know. Yeah, no, I don't know what laws there are.
I just know that like, we shouldn't be watching this video. Um, and so she obviously doesn't talk
about the documentary. She talks about the sanctuary, um, about how due to the loss of
tourism revenue, they've had to let go about half their staff um yeah but their animals are still
getting daily care because they have volunteers so i didn't watch the interview um i just this
just seems really like icky to me this is just like a trend amongst youtubers of like taking
celebrity name and likeness and really like fucking things up for them like remember when those
youtube videos came out of like a, a YouTuber pretending to be Justin Bieber
and took, like, really unflattering paparazzi pictures of him?
Yeah.
It's, like, I get that it's funny for a like, but, like, these are fucking people.
Like, I can't deal with, like, this, like, total disregard for anyone's, like, humanity.
Yeah.
I agree.
This reminds me of that.
Yeah. I don't know this seems worse at least
justin bieber is a superstar and i agree like you know people are entitled to their privacy and
respect but he's a superstar and he has people and teams around him and and money and she doesn't
have those things and i'm sure if it was someone else like they couldn't get away with this with
another celebrity
because their team would be like,
oh, this email isn't Jimmy Fallon's.
But she's just a woman living on her own.
Her daughter like encouraged her to do the interview.
It's just like, she's not a celebrity.
She didn't sign up for this.
It's different.
Like Justin Bieber has signed the social contract
of being, you know, mocked and loved.
And, you know, he's in the arena
and we're going to throw flowers
and we're going to throw tomatoes.
Yeah, famous.
Yeah.
And she's just, she's not.
That's so true.
She participated in a documentary.
How many fucking boring ass documentaries
have you never heard of?
No, totally.
And I'm just surprised that there wasn't more
of like a backlash about this.
Not that I like want everyone to get backlash,
but I just think that like it's a conversation that needs to be had
because it's really fucked up.
Yeah.
And like the fact that this is like the top news story
and everyone's just talking about they tricked her without that sort of like,
this is morally corrupt.
I feel like it's going to become a trend.
Yeah.
No, I have a feeling there's going to be like a very strongly worded
New York Times op-ed about it. That'll change hearts and minds. That's like how this stuff happens, I think.
Yeah. Or, you know, this toast episode will change hearts and minds.
Yeah. If anyone's still listening. Okay. Next up, J.Crew has filed for bankruptcy as the Preppy
Retailer succumbs to the COVID-19 fallout. J.Crew Group Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection on
Monday with a plan to
hand over control to lenders, adding to a list of brick-and-mortar retailers pushed to the brink by
widespread store closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. That is very sad. Obviously,
we've had this discussion because other retailers are filing for bankruptcy. It doesn't necessarily
mean they're going out of business. St stores are closing, but it's not good.
No, and I think it just adds to this, like, vibe in the world right now
that, like, shit is real, coronavirus, shit is real.
And it's, like, really between, like, the economy
and, like, so many people losing their jobs
and now these, like, major, major companies filing for bankruptcy.
It's just adding to, like, this really unsettling feeling
of, like, not knowing what's going on and the uncertainty of like what tomorrow will bring. Yeah, definitely. It's very
sad. It's also really interesting just to see stores, like who was the first to fall? Because
it's like no company is obviously like planning for, you know, six months of not having any
business, but every company is structured differently.
So it's just interesting to see who will last the longest.
Who was best financially prepared for this?
Yeah, honestly, it'll be the companies
that have the biggest infrastructure for online retail.
Yeah.
You know?
I mean, Amazon, I literally ordered something yesterday
and it arrived today.
It's so crazy.
Also, Matches.com, fabulous shipping.
I got two birthday presents
for upcoming birthdays from there and it came already. Yeah. I got a Farfetch. I love Farfetch
and they also support small boutiques across the world. That's always been their concept. Like you
can get anything on Farfetch because they will go far and fetch it from, you know, a boutique in
Romania that you wouldn't be able to shop from. So inherently they support small businesses and
they also have anything that you like would want from any designer. And it's a great place to shop.
Oh, and honey, anytime you shop on Farfetch, honey, one of our sponsors, you're getting your
money with honey and Farfetch. I absolutely love honey. This is not an ad, but like shopping we've,
we have so many birthdays and celebrations in like the May, June, July months that like it's very taxing on
my wallet. And I absolutely love, love, love Honey. Totally. Okay. Are you ready for our fifth and
final story? Chris Hemsworth thanks fans as Extraction, his new movie, looks to become
Netflix's biggest ever film premiere. Extraction is a massive success on Netflix and Chris Hemsworth
says he's massively grateful to fans.
Hey, guys, what's up? Hope you're doing well.
I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who checked out Extraction.
You've made it the number one film on the planet right now, he said on Instagram.
Netflix issued a statement a day earlier
announcing the film is poised to become its most watched feature film premiere to date.
With people around the world sheltering in place because of the coronavirus pandemic,
they're watching the movie in droves the movie has a projected 90 million households watching
in the first four weeks that's crazy it's crazy but you know what it's like Netflix just keeps
getting bigger that like not that this movie is bad but I just feel like it's the movie right now
and it's like their next movie will just be even bigger. And it all started, I know it's so crazy.
Remember The Kissing Booth was literally the biggest movie ever watched on Netflix.
It had 50 million households watching.
And it's like, not that this Chris Hemsworth movie is better.
It's just like Netflix keeps getting bigger and bigger.
They're like literally one of the biggest companies.
And it's like, especially with quarantine, it's just, I'm sure this is a good movie,
but like the next movie they release is just going to be a hundred.
Well, as long as it's still in quarantine i think quarantine gives everyone the time it's everyone goes to netflix every single day and it's the first thing there is this movie oh chris
hemsworth looks good not good enough for me to watch but you know everyone else is into it i
also feel like bird box was a similar um genre of movie that took the world by storm and that
was also when people were leaving their homes so I think anything in quarantine is going to get a major lift in terms of viewership,
like Tiger King. I do not think that Tiger King would have been nearly as big as it is,
if not for quarantine. I mean, I was one of the first people to watch it and I'm like glad that
I got in on it so I could like post the memes and make the jokes. But like as a viewer, it was
honestly not that good. It was so long.
It was like an interesting story that could have been a two,
three hour documentary,
not like a seven part series with an after show.
To be honest,
in terms of just content,
it wasn't that good.
Yeah.
Also,
I feel like other shows like Waco are getting this sort of lift,
which is,
I think is so great because it's an important true story that needs to be
known and needs to be told.
And that show is just so good. A lot of people are watching it and I just want to encourage them
oh are we ready for a tv recap segment because Waco kind of is a good transition for me
is it the tv recap segment that's brought to you by Policy Genius yes there's never a bad time to

Okay.
TV recap.
Love it.
TV recap.
Okay. So on Friday night,. TV recap. Okay, so on Friday
night, I watched Richard Jewell
finally. And
while I will say the movie
isn't great, and like it didn't get
great reviews, so it's not like a great movie
that I want to watch again and again.
The story is so interesting.
Again, before this movie came out,
it was a story that I had never heard of.
It's really actually sad and depressing to watch. But just, again, like seeing all of these 90s
true stories, it's very interesting. It's just interesting. And I think everyone in Richard
Jewell did a really good job. It's also star-studded, like Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Kathy Bates,
the guy who hit Tonya Harding's leg. I mean, Nancy Kerrigan's leg in I, Tonya.
He plays Richard.
He plays Richard.
He did a stellar job.
The movie's actually really good,
and I think it's an important story.
So it's now available for rent,
which is why we rented it.
And we've just been wanting to watch it for a while,
and I finally watched it,
and I'm glad that I did.
I had been intrigued by the story
and wanted to see it,
but you know how you know that there are certain types of movies
that are going to give you anxiety?
Yeah.
I just know, especially my anxiety levels right now,
I just know that that's the type of movie
when it's just all about being persecuted by the media
and having people think things about you.
I already feel that way.
I wake up every day so scared of what people think about me.
I think that movie would be so negative for my mental health.
Like, I don't think I should watch it.
You know what?
I would agree with that.
Yeah.
But it looked really good.
Yeah, it is.
It was good.
I'm glad I watched it.
What did you watch?
I watched so much Drag Race, and I won't go into all the details,
but I finished season 9 and 10.
I'm really disappointed in season 10.
Like, honestly, justice for Shea Coulee.
Like she was just everything of the sort,
but like,
it's cool.
Like what I really like about the series is like similar,
like on the bachelor,
like you fall in love with people,
but then like,
you never see them again on the show.
Like some of the bachelor people come back,
but like the contestants,
like they just go on with their lives.
They're like constantly bringing in past winners,
past runner ups.
They have all stars. Like they have challenges. Yeah, they have challenges where they bring back someone
who you like. So I just like that it really is a family. Like Ru always says that, but like they
really bring back people. So you get to see people that you still like. So even if they lose, it's
like not that big of a deal. But last night I watched the second episode of James Charles
YouTube original Instant Influencer, which is like a competition show for the next big beauty influencer.
And I watched the first episode.
I thought it was really well done.
Like the studio, the makeup, the sponsors,
like it's very fancy and like they got good contestants.
But I don't think I can watch the show anymore
because the judging is false.
Like I know it's art and makeup is opinion-based,
but they are wrong.
Like there is a kid and it's sad
because he's like the youngest one,
but both challenges, in my opinion, he had the had the worst looks and like they just keep sending other
people home who's not this kid and I think his name is Seth he's just like not the best artist
like he needs more time he's so young all of his looks are like messy and there's no really thought
put into it um so it's just I actually really like the show but it's frustrating just to watch the
wrong people go home every single week. Yeah, that is annoying.
That's kind of –
That's why –
Oh, that's why what?
That's why I stopped watching Project Runway.
And I know I'm not, like, you know, the most fashionable girl in the world, but I just was disagreeing with everyone.
I completely agree.
I stopped watching it, too, ever since they sent home Cha-Cha.
Yes!
um yes I've been watching weirdly the great British baking show because I remember I watched it when I was on vacation over Christmas because it was like a Christmas themed and it was just
so soothing and you know I don't even like cooking shows and I was looking for something to watch
just something in the background like how you have friends and I put it on and it was it was
just so lovely it's such a nice show it's like plenty vibes they're all so nice to each other
the competitors like when one person is like fucking up and they're out of time and someone
else is done, they like help the other one finish their treats. And it's just, it's a nice thing to
watch during the downtime. But also yesterday I read the book for the Redheads. We're recording
actually the episode today, even though it's released on Thursday. So you have more than
enough time to read the book. Everyone who's read it has read it in five hours or less. And it was really, really good. So if you want to get in on the
Redheads, now is the time. And I'm choosing the next book for the Redheads. I'm so nervous.
By the way, there's a lot of pressure because the Redheads has gotten like kind of popular.
Yeah, it's gotten really popular, especially in the queue. And we try to read, like we read books that none of us have read yet.
So it's not necessarily a book recommendation club because we don't know how the book's
going to be.
It's just like, this is the next thing on my reading list and then we can all talk about
it.
But I do want the book to be good.
I don't want to torture people.
So I've been doing a lot of research.
And then also, I don't want to choose a book that I know is popular and good, but so many
of the redheads might have already read it in the community.
Right.
Like there's hot books of the moment, right?
Right.
So I wouldn't, even though we've already read it,
I wouldn't choose a Where the Crawdads Sing
because then everyone's already read it and it's not a reading assignment.
So I kind of need to find a different sort of book that might be good.
I'm taking a risk on some unknown.
Actually, the authors are probably known,
but on like their new book, not the one that made them famous.
And it's just, it's a dance, but I'm so excited to record the redheads can we talk about shaw's of sunset because I like to bulk up on shaw's of sunset episodes and I
binge like four over the weekend I was so confused that it was the finale because it was only the
13th episode and it didn't feel very final oh my god i didn't realize it was the finale
that i feel like it just premiered no i know and i only realized it was the finale when i was
watching watch what happens live he had adam and reza video chatting and then tommy and mj and it
was very tumultuous um and they kept referring to it as the finale i'm like it's over wow that's
crazy so what are your thoughts i mean i landed um i landed in an interesting spot
because i'm ride or die i have firmly chosen my spot on mj's team in terms of the whole res thing
and of course mj wasn't totally right about everything but she owned her part in it um to
me it's like the show is so frustrating because two people that i love are fighting reggie res
and mj when at the end of the day it's's like not even about them. It's just about the worst person on the show, Adam. Yeah. And then
watching him on Watch What Happens Live, it's like he's now quarantined with Reza and he's really
brainwashed Reza to like be on his side. And they were just like defending themselves so much.
Oh my God. I just think like when they were doing the pottery and he was like,
I don't feel safe without the restraining order. It was just like so dramatic.
And I think that it all could have gone back to a better place
if it weren't for Adam.
For sure.
I'm not caught up, but I do like to match him as well,
and my husband likes to watch, so we're going to watch together.
Oh, I was texting with your husband.
I had no idea that he –
was the Shaz of Sunset encyclopedia?
Oh, for sure.
He loves it.
I had no idea he was watching from the beginning. All the Bravo shows that I don't watch, like, he watches.
So between the two of us, like, we've got it all.
Yeah, no, I was like, he was like, what do you think about Gigi?
I'm like, oh, she's great.
He's like, yeah, but she wasn't in the beginning.
Yeah.
No, he's really funny.
But I need to finish Shaz with him.
And then you also need to watch Watch What Happens Live because MJ and Tommy come out fucking swinging. Tommy is so funny. And while I don't condone violence in any way, I just kind of respect how much Tommy fucking loves and wants to protect his wife. And I understood why he went and did what he did. And at the end of the day, he didn't hurt anyone. he did break a couple plans but like he might have went over there with the intention to hurt people which
I obviously do not condone but like I'm just having such a hard time like not taking their
side I don't know why yeah I mean it's just I think it's probably because the other side has
Adam and you love MJ and I love MJ and I'm and you stand and you stand her and you're to the
point where it's like okay you did something I don't agree with but I I I trust in you and you did the best thing given
your situation at the time right like all the people on the show are saying like she set Reza
up and they have like kind of like shady receipts but like I just don't believe that MJ like would
do that to her friend of 30 years and and I know there's like a little bit amount of proof but but like, I just don't believe that. I don't know why. I don't know what she
would get out of that. She was in the hospital. Like it just doesn't make sense. Totally. But
like, even if she did, you would think that she had her reasons. Cause you got your reasons.
Just like you. When you walked out of my life
and you didn't have to.
Okay, anything else we want to recap
before we put this episode to bed?
No, that is all from me.
To everyone who has reached the end of this episode,
we love you.
Now that the real ones are here,
we love you so much.
We love doing the toast.
All of the judgment and criticism
and hate is all worth it because of the greatness of the community, the camp toast, the toast after
dark, like the real ones. Um, and we'll always be here for you. So that's that on that. Thank you.
Thank you. We love you. We'll see you tomorrow.
