Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to The Morning Toast. Happy New Year, everyone. First episode, season four of The Morning Toast. Hope you're ready for it. Hope you're ready for it. Happy 2021. The most shocking thing of all time is that this is season four of The Toast. Yes, I was making a little graphic for our Instagram last night, and I'm like, season three. And then it kind of sounded familiar, like I've already said season three, so I had to double check with you. And much to my surprise surprise it was season four because it's not like a bad thing it's so exciting I mean four seasons of the toast I mean we're really aging ourselves and despite all the popular demand we are back with another season bigger and better than ever yes I'm so excited

for the new year even though the new year starting like on a Thursday and then waiting to Monday to like officially start the new year because obviously you're not gonna start mentally again on a Friday it's it's interesting it's interesting it's weird I definitely feel like we're in this like limbo type period and I think collectively like the world has never had a Monday, like so Monday, you know, because it's like everyone's back from vacation. The first Monday of the year is really the Monday is Monday of all time. But the fact that the new year really started on a Friday.

And so we got like four extra days. Like it's just so Monday. Yeah. No, it's so Monday. We're all in this together. And the toast is back to help you get through it all. We had a wonderful, much needed, so appreciated break.

So much inner peace. So much, so little anxiety. It was really great. Great, you know, experience to have under our belt as we head into the new year. Right. I think it's a great tone to set. Agreed. You know, bringing it, ushering in more inner peace.

And, you know, actually over the course of our vacation and kind of like the world's vacation, so much really did happen that Jackie and I actually had to stop and record an episode for our Patreon just to kind of, you know, talk about the Bachelorette finale, the Potomac finale. Ilaria. Sorry, Hillary. So much that needed to be discussed that we didn't want to wait

until the new year because some of it's old news, a lot of news about Ariana Grande and John Mulaney. So if you are looking for all of that, we've already covered it all, even though I will probably be talking about Hillary Hayward Thomas till the end of time because it's like the craziest thing ever. But if you're really looking for a recap on all that stuff, head over to the Patreon, patreon.com slash morning toast, because our fifth episode of the month was just like an update in pop culture.

Right. And that has all the stories that you might have been hoping to hear today because today's stories are all new year news stories. In the words of our Yiddish ancestors, Kumza fresh. Kumza fresha. Fresh slate. Fresh cakes. Fresh cakes.

All of our stories have happened in 2020 and 20, I'm sorry, 2021. And it's already been a bustling year. Like all of the stories are top stories. Wow. And they're all occurring in 2021 is what you're saying? 2021 is a mouthful oh my god I cannot say it I guess we're supposed to say 21 oh like apostrophe 2 1 I that works for me I'm just not going to talk about it yeah because you know what we were saying like before the new year when we had so much hope

we were like I just know or at least I was putting like all my eggs in one basket like when I wake up on January 1st like new world who dis and now as someone who's living in 21 I can let you know it's same world same me same garbage yeah but you know what it's kind of familiar and I like it even though I'm someone who really does like change yeah um I'm really liking how 21 feels just like 2020 great you know yeah no it's great it's great no it's so good it's going it's only going to get better and I do think it's because like of this weird in-between days that we've had and so like Monday January what's the date fourth this is really the start of the new year like I feel like I'm getting so many emails today you know oh my god that's when you know it's like a real productive day how many emails you get from like companies and you know everyone's back on marketing managers who are

like let's send out our new year promo no one's oh oh oh anymore no one is oh oh oh and you know what you know what I really feel like things are going to turn around for for the world when January 26 2021 which is completely agree you you do right yeah I actually think that my book obviously everyone knows girls no Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster. And if you've already been getting annoyed with my promo, I just suggest you maybe sit this month out because I'm going to be so fucking annoying. I already got, I just, maybe a week ago, got the first official copies of my book.

So if you've been watching our podcast, you're like, Claudia, what are you talking about? You have a copy of your book right next to you. No, I went through the various books we have in our studio, which are all former Redheads books, and just found one that my cover fit on now I have my actual book and there is a insert in the middle with like 20 pictures that I wanted to include in the paper copy um Jackie's holding it right now I literally forgot about this I'm going to the pictures I haven't seen so that's why I was really excited to get the physical copy yeah yeah oh my god there I am this is an unseen pic no I know I wanted to these are unseen

i referenced so many moments in the book that i wanted you to have visual aids for so there's 20 pictures in the middle of the book oh my god move-in day at nyu how funny is that i'm sure no i went to the depths of my facebook my friend jason who i was talking about like a month ago because i had dinner with him i told you he has pictures on his phone from 2012 yeah like he really helped me curate these photos so I got the physical copies which I'm so excited about and in in exchange I'm offering a barter to all the people who have been pestered by my constant promotion I know that I'm really annoying but like I'm a first-time author I'm like I'm just not gonna stop um but I did want to do something nice because like the toasters have really been so nice about the book like so supportive getting excited ordering on their kindles pre-ordering and I wanted to do a um a little giveaway so for everyone who

You're staring at the pictures in my book. What are you looking at? I'm looking at everything. First of all, I just want to say you posted that you put in the before and after.

Jackie, please don't spoil it. I'm sorry. Yes, I did. I did. That is a reason to buy the book. I'm so brave. Do you agree? No, because you look great before and after.

No, I don't look great before. But this is a ringing endorsement. A hundred percent. Of what your before and after ring. I won't tell you guys. Yeah. I'll leave that. But there's a before and after in here that is.

Shocking. It's interesting. Yeah. So many fabulous photos. I was just looking at the photo of the beacon. Just looking for myself, obviously. So yes, girlthrowjob.com slash book is where you can pre-order all versions, Kindle, audiobook, and hardcover.

And I promise that's enough for the book promo today. But but speaking of books there's something that we need to talk about you guys might have noticed that claudia is officially but not officially because i don't want to confuse people because it's really confusing that we call the hosts of the podcast the redheads and the listeners the redheads very confusing but claudia is officially a redhead as in a host as in a listener as a reader yes i jackie really got me into the kindle i bought i always say like, I really always read on vacation. I just can't get behind, like, reading in my bed. It just seems so weird. Like, why am I not watching TV, you know?

Yeah. And we were on vacation and I brought a big book that you recommended, The Luckiest Girl Alive. It's like 400 pages. And I'm like, I'm going to read this the whole trip. And within the first two days, I was done with it. And I'm like, damn damn I wish I had another book and that's the magic of the kindle Jackie was very generous and offered me her second kindle

to where I read another seven books wow yeah and you put out your official ranking the literary world was quaking like waking in their boots I could feel reverberations no through the literary you could feel the library shook us there were aftershocks too no it was quaking it was an earth motherfucking quake but you read some really great books i did i read some fucking terrible books too and what's so interesting and i feel like this is how you can see like we're evolving new year new us like we did not watch any tv on break aside from potomac reunions and so all of the content recaps we have today are book recaps. No, I know. We're like such nerds.

Such nerds. We're so nerdy. Well, you know what? Like TV is obviously my happy place, but it's also where a lot of my work stems from. It's your homework. So sometimes I do find TV to be like a little bit anxiety inducing.

And now I haven't watched a lick of TV in the last three weeks. And it's been such a joy. Obviously today I'm going to watch Bridgerton. And this week, all of our recaps we're going to catch up every day so I'm not

we're both behind on like OC and Salt Lake City but each day when we recap the new episode of whatever's on the night before

we'll be caught up on everything else. Of whatever sauce. Yeah. And Dallas Housewives is now on. Matt Matchler is tonight.

Matchler is tonight. I'm very excited for that. Yes and tomorrow I'm going to be recapping Matchler the Bachelor with Ben who's going gonna be co-hosting with me tomorrow and Wednesday. Yes I will be out of the show for a personal matter Tuesday and Wednesday which is sad but Ben will be here and I feel like we haven't had a B on the T in over a year. I know and I'm gonna make him watch a Bachelorette

with me tonight. Oh my god that's gonna be so fun. It's like fresh he can just jump in. And nobody knows Matt. Right. So like he knows just as much as you do. And maybe it'll be nice for once to have like a straight male perspective on The Bachelor. Yes, definitely. That's going to be really fun. Be on the tee.

Ba-dum-bum. Be on the tee. Ooh. So we have an amazing episode for you guys. Yeah, I think we could jump right in. Do you? I don't know. It feels so rushed.

No, I know. Even though we've just been circling the drain. Well, we were still, we were in the middle of talking about books before I cut you off um so my official ranking did kind of change things in the literary space a hundred percent um and I did recap a lot of the books that I read on the patreon episode but since then I've read two books that were both absolutely atrocious and I just think I want to warn people so they don't waste their time because in both books like towards the end does this happen to you where you get angry like at the end of a book for wasting

your goddamn time like I was literally fucking furious at the end of the unfortunate importance of beauty I get that way sometimes in the middle I forget which book let me just look at my good reads I was reading something and it really started to lag in the middle and I was like getting annoyed yeah and I never do the thing where you like just skim through and like only no I definitely do that only read like quotes you know I don't only read quotes I just definitely speed read like not everything registers and then like I'll see where something important I read this book Una Out of Order which was cute but there was like one chapter if you read the book if you or if you read the book basically the premise is this she doesn't age chronologically like every new year is her birthday and she skips to a different age like skips forward

and there was one age that like I just I couldn't deal with yeah yeah well I finished the unfortunate importance of beauty which is impossible to say and I have to say it was one of the worst books I've literally ever read and Jackie told me it was her favorite book that she read one of my favorite books that I read this year Dana had recommended it and I it. I thought it was so cute and you love nothing to see here. So I was like oh she can live with a little magical realism. No the magical realism was so stupid and like so not believable. I could only suspend disbelief for so long. I loved nothing to see here and at the beginning of The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty I actually really really liked it and I like the premise spoiler alert of her like you know living in this disguise

and it showed up so interesting like just an interesting topic about like mainstream beauty standards but then with Lily and the piano I was like this book is so stupid got it well the mask oh my god so stupid okay I'm sorry but no offense to you I'm glad you became such a redhead yes I know so I'm curious like I've like I said like I've always read on vacation but I don't know if it's gonna stick I just read way way more than I ever have I read eight books in two weeks the power of the kindle power of the kindle a hundred percent you just want to read fast right and so I gave you my kindle we're gonna see if it sticks if not I'll give it back sweet works for me but I'll definitely be reading girl with no job the crazy beautiful life on instagram their sponsor on January 26th well I'll be reading it a little before that because we are going to be recording a

very special Redheads episode with the author. So everyone make sure you pre-order it so that you can read it within the first week and get your questions in for the author. 100% you guys. This is like a never before seen. Gwunch like you've never seen her. Gwunch like you've never seen her and the Redheads like you've never seen them because we've never had an author on the podcast. I'm gonna wear a turtleneck and my glasses. Okay, but it's podcast only. Oh, right. But we do take a photo at the end. Definitely be wearing my turtleneck.

Speaking of redheads, new episode drops on Thursday. We're going to be recapping Layla, which Snitch and I read together. We just finished. You guys, it's really good. It's unlike anything we've read before. And it's our first foray into Colleen Hoover on the redheads. And I just, I don't want to spoil anything, but the other two redheads who are much more literary are really liking it too so I think it's going to be a really great

episode and by the way if you're struggling to get through the book I saw some comments that people were it lags in the middle but picks up at the end so power through you guys okay even if you have to only read the quotes which is what some people do apparently counselor told us that she did that only when people are speaking I'm not gonna lie I really feel that though like a hundred percent no now that you've said it like that's gonna be my backup if I'm ever struggling to get through a book maybe I'll pick up anxious people again and only read the quotes. Yeah no 100 percent. Oh and other book another book that I started that I actually really liked in the beginning and then it was like okay we get it like you take a lot of pills

was this book called How to Murder Your Life by Kat Marnell. Dana recommended it to me and she was like honestly it was like so quirky and different. And I was like living for it at first. And then it was just like so repetitive. Like literally over 200 pages where it's like partying. I was like, okay, we get it. You partied. What happened after that?

Yeah. Because obviously something happens. Right. But you didn't finish it. I didn't finish it. But she had like a crazy interesting childhood. And childhoods are usually my least favorite part of people's books. But it was my, like she just had this crazy life in the northeast like it was so good and then it just really did

not turn for you no got it well you downloaded it to my kindle so I might read it oh yeah sorry I did waste your money it's okay now I love using someone else's kindle I like having some books on my kindle that I haven't read and that I don't intend to read just in case I get stuck on a desert island and like and now I have these books on my kindle or I haven't read and that I don't intend to read just in case I get stuck on a desert island and like and now I have these books on my Kindle. Or like a plane. Right. Or that. Yeah. All right so I think. I think we could jump in now. I feel like well I feel like I'm caught up those are that's what's on my mind and now let's talk about others. For the first time in 2020 I'm gonna say it 100%. I'm sure if we rewind. I definitely said it already. We've already said it. But without further ado it is time for the Fast Five Stories

that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And Jackie, it is the first episode. Uh-oh. Oh, no. Are you okay? Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance! But not for me.

Because I have something to say. is january 4th you guys and you know that today's episode needs to be brought to you by noom new year new me new resolutions think about everything you've ever learned about getting healthy there's a lot of contradictory information out there and things like that old-fashioned food pyramid aren't much help it's not about what you just ate, but how you eat in general. Noom teaches you about your eatings, your cravings, and how to build new habits so you can ditch your misconceptions and get smart about food and the choices you make. Noom is based in psychology.

They teach you why you make the choices you do, and they give you the tools to replace your habits with healthier ones. Their cognitive behavioral approach means you're not just losing weight, you're building the habits that you need to keep it off. So you can have tons of specific goals or things you want to improve on in Noom. If you want to eat better, you want to feel better, you want to have more energy, you want to fit better into your clothes, you can just want to feel more confident in general or physically more confident. And Noom is here to help because everyone is busy and they just want you to take 10 minutes a day.

I don't think that's a lot. Over 80% of people who sign up for Noom finish the program and over 60% of them have stuck with their goals for at least one year. Because sometimes,

and I'm the queen of this, like losing weight and then it's just like, poof, never happened. There's a science to getting healthier. It's called Noom. Sign up for your trial today

The first one, Kelly and Peter have broken up and now she is sharing her thoughts on what happened. He broke the news on Instagram. He broke the news three days ago and it was really shocking. Yeah.

Like I'm shocked. I'm still shocked and I want to talk about it. Because there were rumors that they were like even engaged I know and they were moving to get in together in New York and now they're broken up so she said quote I know you a lot of you have already heard the news but I wanted to take some time to process it for myself before sharing it saddens me to say this but Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways Peter and I had some unbelievable times together and they will definitely be missed she said unfortunately him and i are in two different stages of our lives and saw our future paths differently i wish peter the absolute best and want to thank everyone for your continued

support as i move on to my next chapter so i think the interesting nugget here is they broke up because they're in two different stages of their lives and saw their future paths differently and if i just want to like zoom in on that like what what happened yeah I mean honestly like Kelly is an absolute motherfucking queen and like Peter did like disgrace her on national television so I'm sure that's like hard to get past but once you do it's still about no no no no okay but all I'm saying is that like there yes I agree Kelly you're on two different planes like Peter's a child and you're a woman and you are just everything of the sort and unfortunately even though I try to like see it for Kelly Peter is the definition of nothing of the sort and honestly I might even say

he was one of the worst bachelors we've ever had in our entire lives and I never felt so frustrated watching television as I did when Peter what's his last name pilot was on my screen so I'm like of course Kelly's too good for this like she's an absolute radiant queen and Peter is just the sorry people I'm sorry okay I agree and I would have said that like eight months and I haven't even shipped them for one fucking second I really shipped them and like this to me considering everything that you just said but they were making it work and now that they're broken up like I guess it just goes back to everything you just said but it's like at the end of the day what were the last seven months about quarantine and at the

end of the day no but like they were like golfing and with Barb's like at the end of the day. What were the last seven months about? Quarantine. And at the end of the day. No, but like they were like golfing and with Barb. Jackie, at the end of the day, like you can, you know, try and make it work. But a queen is a queen and a sorry person is a sorry person. I agree with that. And someone who's everything of the sort is EOTS

and someone who's nothing of the sort is NOTS. And that's just the way of the world. And literally nothing, not even the pandemic can change that. I guess. So you're saying like at the end of the day, it was those initial things that broke them up and she was just like no I'm not saying that's the reason I'm just saying like as a viewer I'm like obviously these two people didn't work out one of them is a queen and one of them is a sorry person I know but like this queen

took the sorry person in so what she's desperate times we're living in a pandemic then hold being a sorry person against him but you're not listening to me I'm not saying that's why she broke up with him. I'm just saying everyone's like all shocked. I'm not. Queens don't hang out with sorry people. But she did. So maybe he wasn't as sorry as you thought. Extenuating circumstances.

We were living in a pandemic. And you know what? You do crazy things when you think the world is going to end. Okay? And I understand, Kelly. And this man is just not the man for you. I guess. It's like in no way is he the man for her at all.

Like just this is the least shocking news I've ever heard like in no way is he the man for her at all like just this is the least shocking news I've ever heard never mean like what you know what I'm more shocked by that Kelly ever took him back after what he did to her on television I know that was like really so crazy but like I said desperate times call for desperate measures yeah I mean at the end of the day like I truly stand Kelly and like she made me like Peter and she made me even care about what happens to him and so I'm just gonna go with her on this one and like unfortunately Peter and I are going our separate ways once again and you know what I was a little annoyed with Kelly for like making me like see Peter because I was so fucking done with him after a season and you know the bachelor she like

legitimized him once again and the bachelorettes like they turn over so fast you really never get time to like decompress after each season and I was so unbelievably like furious at like ABC production and Peter specifically for wasting my goddamn time with his whole bullshit love story like Madison Hannah and Kelly like there was literally uh Kelsey like four really top four who like were just like all winners at one point and it was just like such a sickening waste of my time and I was really ready to just like put him in like the bachelor graveyard, like a never wanting to see him again. And then Kelly up and does this.

And now here I am January, 2021. I know. Still talking about Peter pilot. No, it's like the first Monday of January last year, it was Peter pilot's big day. And the first Monday of this year.

And it's like, we need to leave Peter the pilot in 2020. And I think that's what Kelly was trying to do. And Peter pilot picked a pack of pickled peppers a hundred percent 100 okay so I guess I've made sense of this a little bit more you know I'm overjoyed like Kelly is a queen with like an amazing job and I just think that like Peter's a boy Kelly's a woman Kelly is the sort of person who if the bachelor producers ever, like, go into the archives and choose someone to be The Bachelorette, like, she should be at the top of their list.

Yes, 100%! Okay, and our next Splitsville news is that Zoe Kravitz and Carl Glessman have split after less than two years of marriage. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Isn't that crazy? Remember when she got married, and it was, like, the same weekend as Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, and I think it was in that same town in France that they all got married. Right? And then it was like which one was Jason Momoa gonna go to? His Game of Thrones

cast member or his stepdaughter? Obviously stepdaughter. But I feel like he went to the Game of Thrones after party. A hundred percent because that's where it was at. But no this is sad because now they're filing for divorce. Oh, I mean, like, this is so Hollywood and so quarantine. So, like, sad for them, obviously. A love lost. But, yeah, like, again, I'm not going to. This isn't one of the ships that I was, like, building. Right. That I, like, need to now go home, you know?

Yeah, but now we have, like, two very eligible bachelorettes on the market. And I think for future ships, that's exciting. Yeah. For my shipbuilding enterprise. Yes, no, for business. It's good for business but yes I agree it'll be really interesting to see who Zari Kravitz dates because she's like the belle of the ball in Hollywood right now she's the belle of the ball and she's like gorgeous maybe honestly like Jason Momoa could step in and like set her up with a former castmate from Game of Thrones there's so many good looking guys Richard Madden

is so handsome so handsome is he single even I don't. I feel like they're all sort of wiped out. Yeah, that's also like what I love about them. It's such like a, like they have such family values over at the Game of Thrones cast, you know? I totally agree. Okay, well, our next story is a little bit of happy couple news. Finally. I know. I just wanted to give you bad news than the good news.

Though I do think in general, we should deliver the good news first. But ladies of London alum Caroline Stanbury is engaged to her boyfriend, Sergio Corallo. This is crazy. This is crazy because it was a mere few months ago that we reported that she was divorced. Which was shocking. Shocking. A few months later, she was dating someone very exciting. Now she's engaged.

Like this got so serious so fast. And Caroline Stanbury is an actual queen. No, literally like queenie. She's the queen of London and now she's like the princess of Dubai. No, 100 percent. And so whatever Caroline Stanbury wants, she gets. Clearly. And now she's engaged. Even though her life has changed so much since I first discovered the queen that she was. And honestly, like I know you're not supposed to like envy other people's lives and like you really never know what's going on behind closed doors but like just for like a month I would love to be the Caroline Stanbury that was like had that

office that was like the gift guide company and was like the most fabulous woman in London and like in charge of this like fabulous group of people I would like to be that girl for just like a week no I totally agree or this girl now because yeah it's fabulous no matter how you slice it. Yeah, but there was like a special level of fabulosity to that lugged in life. I know. So this is just really exciting. What does the man do? I hope he has a lot of money. Caroline needs that.

So we reported on this a while ago and he's a former professional soccer player. Oh, okay. Yeah, and he's extremely good looking. And there's a lot of money in soccer. Hopefully he's good. Hopefully he was like, you know, first string. Ronaldo. He was first string for Elyria eliria yeah actually i heard he was really more of a cornwall guy no yeah no that's just what i heard though again you can never trust

these rumors no i mean the rumors are flying no the rumor mill is in overdrive overdrive especially in 2021 but i just think this is some happy couple news and again just holding out hope that ladies of london somehow makes it but she lives in Dubai so she needs to be in like a show of like dams of Dubai oh that actually sounds good it does and I also think that if she ever did move back to London like ladies of London would pick up again I think they're just like waiting for her I also think Dubai makes a really interesting setting for a reality show just like separately there's so much wealth there I agree have you heard these rumors that Real Housewives of Miami is coming back yes I have and there's like substantial what's the word in SVU circumstantial evidence circumstantial effort like they're substantial

but it's only circumstantial yeah no it can either happen or not which is really two of the only possibilities which is where we were a year ago too. But we always say like of all, in the ecosystem of Housewives, it's so strange that Miami left in the way that it did because it really was a perfect show. They had Larsa Pippen on there for a minute. Leah Black, who was so wealthy and a part of Americana history.

Americana. Like it was, it was excellent. The Hochsteins, our favorite. Yeah. So much money. Yeah. We're ready if it decides to come back i mean i don't know how we'll do another housewives on our plate but we'll manage we'll yeah that's so true i mean my plate has so full i need a bigger plate which i mean i'm like i'm used to having a really full place i need one of those plates that's like susan no um a charger a charger yeah you would like literally just make a circle with your finger I need one of those plates that's like. Lazy Susan. No. A charger? A charger. Yeah.

You would like literally just make a circle with your finger, but I knew exactly what you were talking about. Yeah, no, I need a charger. It's not even a real plate, but it's big. No, I know. Really quickly, I want to talk about Everlane. Is that okay with you? Please, yes. Which is today's sponsor.

But Everlane shares exactly how much their products cost to make from labor to transportation. how much their products cost to make from labor to transportation. I actually wore so many Everlane things while we were away because I got my package right before we left and I had like slippers and just like amazing products. I stole your slippers.

Okay, well, speaking of new year, new goals, James Corden is talking about his weight loss goals. He says, quote, I'm fed up with being unhealthy. I feel that like 100%. In an emotional clip, late night host James Corden details his decade-plus struggle to reach his ideal weight, emotionally confessing that he's fed up with his repeated attempts to get in shape he said quote I've realized that every year for the past decade probably even 15 years on January the 1st I've told myself and anyone that would listen that I'm going on a diet I'm going to lose a load of weight

he said in a clip uploaded to the WW Weight Watchers YouTube page oh so this is a sponsorship yes he said I'm fed up with the way I look i'm fed up with being unhealthy this is the year i'm doing it because of that over christmas i've eaten everything that's in the fridge because in my head in january i'm starting at this diet and it'll be a success and as you can see it hasn't it's starting to get me down in a way he added i've never been able to stick to anything like that i've spent a long time accepting that this is my body and that's it but i really am sick and tired of just doing the same thing every year he says that he reached out to WW this time around in hopes of fulfilling his resolution so I think yeah this is clearly like a partnership but it is really interesting because I feel like one of the one of the things like I've been following like

since I was a kid whenever Weight Watchers had commercials was like the celebrities who became um spokespeople spokespeople and in order to be a successful spokesperson you have to commit to losing the weight so it's like you know that once they sign that contract like they will be right and now like it is it obviously a lot of pressure to tell everyone you intend to lose this weight but it also holds you more accountable that you know all of these people and this company is behind you and you know you're doing it so publicly I feel like there hasn't been like a big celebrity public face of Weight Watchers in such a long time like I literally remember the last one was like Kirstie Alley yeah Oprah oh well yeah but now she owns the company so that doesn't count yeah so I think this is really exciting for him me too and I totally relate

to like just being sick of like your body like I feel that a hundred percent no and being sick of like and I feel like I do the same thing it's like you know oh I know I'm gonna start a diet so I'm gonna eat what I want now because I'm not gonna be able to and then it's even more disheartening when you don't follow through on that yeah and I can only imagine like being in the public sphere like and I actually talk about this a lot in my book like being a famous fat person like it's so taxing like you have no idea and James Corden is on like is so famous he's on tv every night and I can only imagine like what he has to deal with from the

public yeah so I think that this is an exciting partnership and exciting I'm excited to watch venture and I I always appreciate when someone is so open about their journey to getting healthy and also it's been a while since we like someone some a lot of people like lose weight and then they talk about it in hindsight they're like this is what I did and it's easy it's you know you see the results and so right but to go at from the outset and be so public about it like everyone's going to be watching him now it's very brave and it's very very brave and I wish him the best me too good luck James. Okay, next story. Some really funny news. Andy Cohen drunkenly rips Mayor Bill de Blasio on CNN's Times Square holiday coverage.

This video has gone like totally viral. By the way, so was it after 12 o'clock or did this news still happen in 2020? This is 2021 news. Okay, it was after midnight? It was after midnight. And Anderson was taking a shot of tequila. I guess he famously does not like tequila and he started to like um wince wince a bit and Andy said that's how I felt when I saw

Mayor de Blasio dancing just now I just don't need to see that in the beginning of 2021 then he started to yell uh get it together do something or do something with this city it was so funny and I feel like Every person from New York Watching that was like Oh man finally And you know It actually carries a lot of weight

Having said that On CNN Yes It's not like You know on Bravo You could say whatever you want Or like on the internet Yeah

But like to say it on CNN You could see like Anderson Cooper was like Oh no And then Andy Andy was so drunk And he's like Alright that's what I'm saying

I'll be tiptoeing back to Bravo now It was just like a perfect moment For like New Yorkers Who have been so frustrated Who are so fed up And then Andy was so drunk and he's like, all right, that's what I'm saying. I'll be tiptoeing back to Bravo now. It was just like a perfect moment for like New Yorkers who have been so frustrated. Who are so fed up. With like the lack of leadership and the lack of organization. And like there's just so much to be like confused and angry about. And I just like really appreciated this moment of like drunk honesty from Andy Cohen. And it was hysterical. Hysterical.

And of course like mayor de blasio he responded and he did yeah it stinks what do you say he's so lame it's claudia this response is worse oh not the first time i've heard a drunk person complain about someone's dance moves like oh so you miss the point oh that's so we're not complaining about your dance moves oh my god that is you oh my god honestly like if only like politicians had a representative of his right had cool young like forward-thinking representatives because you know what mayor de blasio should go and watch happens live like he's really if he's looking to rehabilitate his image which i can't imagine that

he's not he needs to get out ahead of it and like andy's the perfect person to have in your corner yeah or like andy like why don't you come Gracie Mansion tell me what uh what I need to improve on like these politicians they're so it's too much pride yeah no that's such a good point but like he couldn't go out and watch what happened inside but also Mayor Bill de Blasio I think has already um been two terms like he can't even win again maybe he doesn't even care like he's just like I'm done with this job I'm going home that's what it feels like yeah no 100% even though he still has like a full calendar year until he's out. I don't think he can run again.

So maybe he's just like done. Yeah, but you don't think he has other like hopes and dreams? Well, he did run for president. I know everyone forgets about that. Because like there was like so many people running for president. But like I just think it's important that we don't forget. Like Mayor Bill de Blasio literally thought he was doing such a good job that like the whole country needed his plan.

When people in New York are like starving and dying, like poverty, crime. He's like, yeah, this is good. Like I should do this everywhere. More. Yeah, more of it. Like so fucking stupid. I forgot that he ran for president. Like honestly, he should be embarrassed.

Like the thing is like I don't think he's embarrassed. No, no, no, no. And that's what's embarrassing. 100%. I mean, he thinks he's like so fabulous that he should like go out into Times Square and dance for us on New Year's Eve like no no okay we've had a hard enough year dance mayor dance like just dance for us like no go home we're tired of you we are oh that's funny are you ready for our fifth and you know what i usually don't talk about we don't talk about like politics here but like to me what i love most about mayor

bill de blasio was that he's completely apolitical like everyone hates him yeah and that is just like in a year that's been so divisive at least we can all agree on that i find comfort in that i really really do i agree are you ready for and i wonder de Blasio has, like, a number one fan. You know what I mean? You know what? I was thinking about that. Like, I kind of want to go to his, like,

Instagram comments and, like, see who comments, like... De Blasio fan one, you know? Like, star eyes. Yeah, no. I just, like, I'm curious if there actually are people

who, like, adore him, you know? Yeah. Because he has to have, like, certain people around him who tell him, like, I mean, this man ran for president. Like, he obviously thinks he obviously thinks that the like someone told him that's a good idea somebody lied to him several times oh so funny so funny and speaking of uh Bill de Blasio Ben will be co-hosting tomorrow and you'll be sure to get his thoughts on this oh 100% but Ben like I feel like there are people who disagree with the mayor like

politically based on like agenda like bills like Ben just doesn't like like I feel like there are people who disagree with the mayor like politically based on like agenda like bills like Ben just doesn't like like his vibe like Ben never gives an answer like so what do you like about his policies and Ben's like I saw a chicken bone on the floor like he doesn't give like like I can actually write out a list of like what I think the mayor has done wrong like politically. Yes. But Ben is just like there's a chicken bone on the floor. Theo smelled that. You know what I mean?

Like but that's why we love him. That's why we love him. There's a chicken bone on the floor. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. Okay now are you ready for our fifth and final story? Only if it's the fifth and final story that's brought to you by stamps.com. It is that.

Love it. You promise? Okay, fifth and final story. Some very sad news. Country star Tyler Rich details finding a dead man's body on a New Year's Eve run. This is so crazy. We were just talking about this because his picture looked so familiar, and I couldn't remember because I'm not familiar with his music.

But at the CMA Red Carpets, we 100% spoke to him and his beautiful fiance. Yes. And now Tyler Rich is detailing the howling moment he discovered a dead man's body while out on a New Year's Eve run. The singer shared a series of posts on Instagram in which he described finding a young man's body in the woods while running at Chicopee Memorial State Park in Massachusetts. He said, not the way I planned on closing out 2020. I guess my last day of the year made sense, he wrote of the incident.

My heart breaks for this poor young man. This will be an image and moment of my life I will never forget. He said that he was about two and a half miles into his run when he saw what he thought was a young homeless man sleeping in a heavily wooded area at the state park. He said that he passed him a few times and just assumed he was sleeping. But then after running around him, he felt bad for for him he was sleeping face down and just looked like he was in a bad place so he turned around and went back to check on him um then he realized that he

wasn't breathing and as he got around to the front of him he saw a lifeless face covered in blood everywhere it looked like maybe he was shot or there was a blunt force that's so traumatizing yeah so he ran to find someone who had a phone so he could call the police. And then he gave statements to the state troopers. This is like the beginning of an episode of SVU. Like that's literally how it happens. Like a jogger. But oh my God, this is so scary.

And I feel like, oh my God, like that's so sad for the person who was shot or whatever. Or I don't know. And also for Tyler, like so traumatizing so traumatizing what a crazy story a crazy very terrible story yeah I can't imagine how traumatizing that is to like and like on the last day of the year you're like what does this mean yeah definitely really sad oh my god very very sad so well those were the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your mind and we feel as though you needed to know them i mean i don't want to i don't want to make any generalizations or overhype or overestimate or you know be too optimistic about 2021 please don't

just take it one day at a time but one day at a time oh i'm doing a smoothie cleanse thanks so that's my new year new me i um thanks to lizzo i have been preparing to do the cleanse that she did I think I'm gonna like do a little vlog you know and take people with me I mean I had to buy like a smoothie machine and everything and I'm really excited when she talked about Lizzo talked about the fact like the cleanse made her feel so much better like the whites of her eyes were even brighter like that just like struck a chord with me I was like that's how I want to feel yeah well I whiten um the whites of my eyes in Facetune, so I don't need to do a juice cleanse.

Stop. I mean, I just want to see how it feels. You want to know what my resolution is? And I'll report back and I'll just like let you guys know if this is something that we need to be doing. Yeah, I mean, I think I pretty much said I'm like never doing a cleanse like ever in my life. But do let me know and best of luck to you.

And like for others, you know, I am an influencer. And so I must influence. You intend to influence. I intend to. My resolutions are pretty much keeping the bad bitch that I am. And don't let your emails pile up. Like I'm literally dreading how many emails I have. But like they just, if you don't take care of them, they just, they'll bury you.

They will. That's a good resolution. I shared on the Patreon episode. We did an all-steams-on sneeze on deck episode with the four sisters. And honestly, it's so funny. We're like such on vacation mode and we're just like laughing a ton. And Miss Kayla even made an appearance and she sneezed for us on the podcast. She sneezed on the pod and the pod got sicker.

And you can head over to patreon.com slash morning toast to hear that. But I was sharing one of my resolutions, which is just like something easy that i think will make me feel you know nicer in my body which is i'm gonna start try to start shaving my legs once a week oh yeah maybe every sunday night good luck thank you no good luck seriously thank you um also so unrelated but since you brought up mikaela because mikaela was with us for two weeks we more than we cared to you know indulge in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was playing like in the house at 24 7 that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a sick beat m-i-c-k-e-y m-o-u-s-a okay and so Ben discovered this like hidden talent that he is the most amazing impersonation of Mickey Mouse all night last night i couldn't go to bed every

time i tried to fall asleep i hear bed miska muska mickey mouse i'm gonna make him do it on the podcast tomorrow his fucking impersonation is perfect like sickeningly sick perfect sickeningly sick like i feel as though the content that i really like that we watched the most of on this trip was mickey mouse clubhouse yeah and you guys like this is premium stuff that these kids are watching. Miska Muska. Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog. It's such good stuff. So yeah, that's like where my head's at right now. No, me too. I'm still physically I'm in New York. Mentally, I'm in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Clubhouse. Come inside. It's fun inside. It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Come inside. It's fun inside. And on that. It's like a sick jazz beat. It's like skitty do do bop bop. Any minute

I'm expecting Mickey to just slide out and be like skitty do skitty do skitty do skitty do. Imagine if Mickey breaks off and improvs. No Mickey's so talented like. No and he's also. The way he carries that show on his back. He does. He's such a good leader. And he's so patient with the kids. He's like, which ring fits in the hole? And they're like, obviously the little one.

Like, it's so stupid. They're lined up to show you which one. He waits for you to sort out that answer. No, it's like, how many cups are in the ingredients? And it's like literally three cups. Like, it says it right there, Mickey. No, and it's like, how many times is he going to say, the big red gooey fish?

So, yeah, that's where our mind's at. But after this week, we'll be back in. We'll be back to pop culture. To Bravo, losing brain cells every minute. And The Matchler. And The Matchler, which is tonight. Again, we'll be back tomorrow
