Good morning, Millennials!
Or should I say, bonjour, millenn...
No?
Bonjour?
No.
Ciao, Millennials!
I still don't know any Italian.
Ciao, Millennials!
Ciao!
Bien ven...
You know what?
What country were you in?
I learned no Italian.
Babble?
You clearly didn't study up.
I was trying so hard and all I could really say to everyone was,
Buonanotte!
Which is literally what
you say like as you're falling asleep I'm like good night like it's good night but it's really
reserved for like when you're actually going to sleep good night moon yeah literally so I learned
no Italian on my trip but I'm back I'm so glad to be back in America you know this happens to me
when I travel abroad which I never do um I get really into it like I was so
living for the culture the food the people like learning all about different things that customs
you were really being like a tourist girly and when Ben was here we need to recap his time of
be on the t he was feeling so rdh because he's like whenever Claudia and I go on vacation like
we sit on the beach all day and she doesn't want to like tour.
I know.
And then you were spotted at museums.
Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum.
Landmarks.
Can I explain myself?
Sure.
You have a lot to explain.
I have some explaining to do.
First of all, I was with like all my friends and like that's what they wanted to do.
So what?
It was either sit at the hotel by myself or be tortured and dragged around to every like
landmark in Rome.
I did what I had to do to survive, first of all.
Second of all, that what Ben said is 100% true.
Like, but when I'm with Ben, like I want to enjoy my life.
Like even though going to other places and seeing all they have to offer is really cool,
but it's also part treacher.
Like so hot, literally couldn't stop walking.
My feet, my feet are still killing
me. Like it's a lot of work. So when I'm on vacation, I really choose to enjoy myself.
But this was like an educational trip. Yeah. And I had never been to Rome before. I might not ever
go again. So you do what you have to do. You know, I didn't do the Vatican because like,
I literally didn't have it in me. Like I was dead. Did your friends do the Vatican?
No. Oh. I didn't like skip the Vatican. I just didn't go. I mean, they just didn didn't go. It wasn't on the itinerary. So when it comes to Ben I hear him I literally had
no choice. It was these were my options like hang with with my group of friends who I haven't seen
in forever. We had such a good time but like interspersed with treacherous torture or sit in
the hotel by myself all day. Like those were my options. That's really sad. So now but do you feel
like now that when you travel you might do more cultural things like yeah
I really did enjoy a lot of my time especially when I discovered that I didn't have to walk
everywhere I could scooter and they have lime they have bird and it was I'm telling you like I know
it might not work in New York but like oh my god it was so amazing like you really cover so much
more ground ground when you're on it. You have so much fun.
Like I almost got hit by a bus, but like it was all fun, you know?
Yeah, that's exciting.
I know that they're outlawed in New York, those scooters.
I don't fully understand why it wouldn't work in New York.
I would like a better explanation.
Me too, because we're a very bike friendly city.
We have bike lanes.
And if you can do it, in Rome they drive like fucking nuts.
If you could do it in Rome, you could do it anywhere.
Yeah.
But, you know, I was so I was really getting like immersed in the culture, like trying
to be like an Italian girly.
And whenever I travel abroad, like there is this unmatched sense of relief when I come
back to America, like all the comforts, you know, I'm such a creature of habit, all the
comforts that I have, you know, things that I'm used to air conditioning, Diet Coke.
Like these are things these are not Italian values but these are core American values and like
when I just I could feel myself entering on the plane like American airspace and it was just like
I'm telling you like there's nothing like America like Italy was gorgeous there's nothing like
America and then like towards the end of my trip I was really starting to get resentful of Italians
because it's like you know everyone hates Americans like you're big dumb Americans like
oh and like that was us we were traveling in groups looking at our phones I didn't know where
to go and it's like it was funny but then I'm like you know what I'm a proud American like
leave me alone like I was just getting annoyed with like everyone being like oh the Americans
are here like yeah I'm fucking American and I'm fucking proud bitch okay we have Diet Coke and
you don't like okay you think you're so great you think you're so great so I started to feel like this resentment and then I knew it
was time to go home um and I just can't put into words like how much I love being home even though
it was an amazing trip like first of all getting to see my friends from high school who I like
never get to see we spent like like a whole five days together it was awesome the wedding was just
I don't know what that means um It was gorgeous. And it was just,
it was such a happy weekend. And I'm so happy to be home, but so happy that I went. And it was
really like a once in a lifetime experience, I would say. Wow. I'm so glad for you. I'm so glad
that you went. We had a great time here. I heard. You know, every day was something different. He's
just, you know, I know for you, it's not your co-host of choice. No. But for me it's just a totally different energy. Well the
feedback thus far has been like Ben and Claudia. Ben and Jackie. Yes. Because we're just like it's
it's just different. I mean I understand I wouldn't want to do it with my husband. Claudia and Zach.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So it was it it was good I'm glad that it all worked out
that you had such a great fabulous time you looked so wonderful thank you so much so fabulous Italian
did you see my tiktoks of course not unless you posted them to your story I did I saw the one of
you flying to get real pasta you're coming home with me I see that one what was that about oh
yeah the drink how sick were those cups yeah really cool and then did someone say Bevroshino I you're coming home with me. I see that one. What was that about? Oh yeah. The drink. How
sick were those cups? Yeah. Really cool. And then did someone say Bevroshino? Do you see that one?
I don't think so. I'll show you later. You're really missing out. Okay. Sorry. I feel like
I really put the content first, you know, I was really being very content minded, content driven,
content driven. Um, and I also just wanted to share one crazy thing that happened. I forgot
to tell you. So the wedding was like really so unbelievably sickeningly gorgeous and it was up this like
not a cliff but like up this mountain so you could overlook all of Rome and we're going to
the wedding my friend Rachel you know her grandparents were holocaust survivors and she
met this Italian man it's just like this gorgeous Jewish story a global Jewish moment you know
and we're
on the way to the wedding and literally first of all the graffiti in Rome is so bad they should
really do something about it like on these old historic buildings that were literally around
three four hundred years ago like what are you doing like it's disgusting yeah but we're on this
cliff and as we're going up there's swastikas everywhere Jews are assassins I'm like what the
fuck and it's like it's very
clear to me like we're going to this beautiful jewish wedding the granddaughter of holocaust
survivors and we're sitting here with our swastikas i'm like this is bullshit oh my god it was crazy
actually never saw so much anti-semitic jewish graffiti in my life that's really scary i know
so i was just like what is this honey it was not it what is this honey jeez I know and
also the graffiti it's like they really should do something about it because like in New York like
they graffiti on like dirty old buildings like whatever it actually looks better after they
graffiti it I don't know but like these gorgeous old like I don't even know what to call them like
buildings like brownstones like no and their landmarks yeah and there's so much graffiti in
Rome it's crazy yeah and it's
more it's like centuries old because here everything is max 300 years old but there it's
like you know super super the Colosseum let's talk about the Colosseum okay and I also want to talk
about the food in Italy okay Colosseum first what was your take my take on the Colosseum and it
could have been that I was so
violently hungover and so hot, I sweat through my sweater. Like, I was miserable. Your sweater?
But like, okay, so I got to the Coliseum, we pulled up in the taxi, and I took this gorgeous
photo of the outside of the Coliseum. Should have went home after that, okay? Because you know what's
inside of the Coliseum? Dirt. Yeah. Lots of fucking dirt. And we had this actually amazing
tour guide who was like giving a lot of like the Jewish history of the Coliseum, yeah lots of fucking dirt and we had this actually amazing tour guide who was like
giving a lot of like the Jewish history of the Coliseum and she was full of interesting factoids
but I was just like I'm not really like a tour girl and like paired with the hangover and the sun
I was like I came out of bed like to see this like they've done a good job of like preserving
it and it's really interesting like you would have loved it like you know what they used to do
at the Coliseum they They would like kill each other.
Gladiator.
I'm like why am I here?
I'm like this is sad.
And then like the tour guide
was saying you know
but then the barbarians came
and I like felt stupid.
I'm like who are the barbarians?
Like I didn't know
what the hell she was talking about
but I'm like oh no the barbarians.
And then I'm like
you guys sound like the barbarians.
Like you were literally
killing each other
in the gladiator
for entertainment.
For entertainment.
And then the animals got involved
and I'm like leave the animals alone.
They would have like the animals thrown in with a bunch of
gladiators i'm like okay that's bad and i was just like i was very confused about the history because
like i'm not really a history buff she was like talking about these time periods and i'm like
when is this like so she said 70 a.d that is really cool that there's still a building standing
from 70 a.d like it's sickening, for sure.
I just, like, was not in the right headspace.
And I don't mean to offend, like, Italian culture at all.
It was just, like, it was a lot of dirt.
You know, like, a lot of hype.
And then you go inside and it's, like, you know.
I think that's what most people expect to find there.
Maybe you just weren't briefed.
I don't know.
I was ready for, like, a Paolo and Isabella show, you know. I thought it was, like, a full-blown arena.
Yeah, but they still do stuff there?
No.
No?
No, no, no.
You go in and like the center of,
like where all the sand,
actually I did learn something
very interesting.
So in the arena,
the whole floor where everyone would fight,
I think, you know,
Pink Beyonce and Britney Spears
from the Pepsi commercial.
It's made of sand.
Yeah.
And that's why they call arenas arenas
because the Latin word for sand
is like arena or something, you know?
So I did learn something actually very interesting.
Look at you with the factoid.
Yes.
And here's another factoid I learned at the Colosseum.
A lot of the materials that,
sorry, I just remembered something funny.
A lot of the materials that were used
to build the Colosseum and like keep it up,
they were taken from other places.
When the Beit Hamikdash was destroyed by the Romans,
the Jewish temple, they took the materials into the Colosseum and like keep it up, they were taken from other places. So when the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed by the Romans, the Jewish temple,
they took the materials into the Colosseum.
So when, you know, like years ago,
when they were unearthing parts of the Colosseum,
they found materials from the Beit HaMikdash,
the old shul,
that had maps of Jerusalem on them.
So we're very much the Jewish people,
like we're a part of the Colosseum's history for sure.
For sure.
Yeah.
We had like a Jewish tour guide because, you know, we have to make everything about ourselves.
No, but the Jews like are, you know, a fixture throughout history.
So there's always a Jewish element in the history.
Yeah.
So it was really interesting.
What were the Jews up to?
Where were the Jews hiding?
Where were the Jews being kicked out of?
Like it was really interesting.
I was just like so verklempt.
Like my body still is like what did you do I've
never moved that much in my whole life what was your step count 10,000 at least every day maybe
more but the scooter didn't count my I was scootering like for miles you know um but here's
the other thing not only did I walk so much like yes I had pasta for every single meal and snack
but I don't know like the pasta in Italy is like made of vegetables you know what I mean it's like
having a salad in America in my opinion like it's not bad for you that's what they say though no
just because the way that it's made it's like not it's not like eating
what's the brand we use here like DiCicco Barilla Barilla yeah what did you say DiCicco is one
that's what Ina uses so I bought them and it's the same. Barilla is the
best. Yeah. I should have went to the Barilla factory. Barilla is foolproof. No. And so like
the pasta in Italy is healthier. So you weren't eating salads every day. No, like it was literally
the healthiest I've ever eaten in my life. And I ate so much pasta. Was it delicious? So yes,
the, like I, from what I've learned in my time in Rome, they're like official, like they're known
for their cacio e pepe. Okay, but you're not a pepe girl.
And I had it
and like it was fine.
I just really don't like
cacio e pepe.
You don't like cacio or pepe?
No, not at all.
It's like grown up
like serious mac and cheese
like spicy.
With pepper.
And I'm like,
just give me the craft,
you know?
Yeah.
But I had so much spaghetti.
Craftio e pepe.
Craftio for sure. I had so much spaghetti pomodoro whicho-y pepe. Crafty-o for sure.
I had so much spaghetti pomodoro, which is like my meal of choice.
And then like when you say pomodoro, they're like, no, you're American.
That's like not it.
They're like, spaghetti, tomato, basil.
I'm like, yeah, sure.
Like they hate, the waiters hated us.
Like here's a great story for you.
I went to lunch with, you know, Abe, who did a great job of taking all my pictures he
did he got the angles he got the lighting and he wanted a nice tea and the guy was like we have
peach I was like oh my god that sounds so good he's like but is it like like Snapple or like
fresh you know and it was like which was a dumb question because like we're in Italy it's fresh
yeah and the guy was like so offended he was like he's fresh and we're like oh great okay
you know what wasn't such a dumb question it came in a bottle of like the italian snapple i don't
know what brand it looked like an honest tea yeah the like one because we we pretty much exclusively
spoke english one wherever i went i was like i'll have a spaghetti pomodoro they don't have it at
every restaurant and even look at the menu it was in italian like everywhere we went like the
waiters just like thought we were dumb, ugly, fat
Jewish Americans.
I'm like, towards the end, like it started to chip away at me.
I was like, at first I'm like, yeah, that's me.
I'm an American.
And then as it went on, I'm like, you know what?
I'm a proud American.
Like I believe, yeah.
And so.
I believe in being fat.
A hundred percent.
And dumb.
And so, you know what?
I was starting to feel like a lot of resentment on my way out of Italy.
Okay.
I'm glad that you left before it boiled over.
But a gorgeous city.
A gorgeous time was had by all.
And you know what they don't have in Italy?
La Croix.
So.
You're back.
There's nothing like a La Croix when you've been off the sauce for six days.
A La Croix Beerman.
Actually.
when you've been off the sauce for six days.
A La Croix Beerman.
Actually, I had so much water because Pellegrino is like mother's milk there.
Right.
And I was thinking I should have went to the Pellegrino factory.
Indigenous to the land, yeah.
100%, and they don't have Diet Coke.
Yeah, and then when you order Pellegrino,
you're like speaking the language.
Oh, yeah.
San Pellegrino.
I got really good with the accent.
Oh, also, I know how to say grazie.
Grazie? Yeah yeah but then also if
you really mean it grazie mille a thousand thank yous and then prego which is like of course I
think okay yeah so it was amazing and also I stayed at the St. Regis if you're going to Rome
what a spectacular palace nice gorgeous wonderful it was great I was so glad I went did you do any
shopping anything for me
anything for my birthday oh such a good question i tried so hard to shop and do you go to fendi
roma i went to fendi roma and i said oh they hated me in there too i was like i have credit at the
store in new york can i use it because ben got me like a really fucking ugly purse for my birthday
and i've just like been sitting on this credit waiting to find something that i like yeah and
the guy was like no i'm like gotta go like the thing is I tried so hard to shop
first of all I packed so incorrectly it is so hot there Jackie it's 60 degrees okay you go outside
in the sun you're so I think you're close to the equator yeah oh my god I could have died it was so
hot so then when you're walking around you go into the store they're worse in Italy than they are in
America with the masks and I'm you know of course don't want to spread COVID but I'm like sir I cannot shop in here I'm like it's so unpleasant they don't believe
in air conditioning it's so hot outside it's so hot it's hotter in the stores and the mask and
they don't like if it slips a little they're like prego prego and I'm like you know what this is not
an environment for me to drop money like I want to be comfortable yeah I tried on multiple occasions
I almost bought something at Prada but you know I wasn't feeling it and I was just like I want to
spend money because like I'm in Rome but like how's like if there's nothing I'm feeling yeah I got new glasses
no it has to be the right environment I got new um drinking glasses from like some really sick store
that you would have loved and I think you're gonna be like jealous of my cups oh interesting
yeah but I didn't I was like disappointed in my but you didn't bring back a gift for me
no even though I might have brought back a gift for you and like presented to you on the show
no I know I I really tried so very hard okay and there wasn't like anything a gift for me. No. Even though I might have brought back a gift for you and like presented to you on the show. No, I know.
I really tried so very hard.
Okay.
And there wasn't like anything that like made me think of you, you know?
Okay.
I'm being totally honest.
Even at Fendi.
By the way, Fendi Skims.
Have you seen?
Of course I have.
Did you talk about it yesterday?
Yes, with Ben.
And it's so sickening.
It's so sickening.
I don't want to go over it again, but I'm so excited.
So excited.
Everything looks deeply cool and stylish I was
hoping that like since it was with skims it would be like a lower price point but no not skims but
like maybe somewhere in the middle no but it's Fendi materials I will be getting the bomber jacket
I will be attempting to get um the dress that's like the one that she's wearing on the cover
of the Wall Street Journal because I think that would look nice with a bum I think so too and
there was something else.
But I mean I'll really take what I can get.
You know.
Oh and I want the tights.
Of course.
Yeah.
Yes.
It's very exciting.
Very very exciting.
What else did I miss that you guys talked about?
I haven't had time to catch up on the shows.
Alec Baldwin.
How terrible.
Terrible.
What the fuck happened?
I don't know.
And did you hear that the.
Did you hear the 911 call?
I didn't hear it.
It was on TikTok.
So I just thought it was really, first of all,
this literally may be the saddest thing I've heard ever.
And when the police 911 operator was like,
was it a blank or a real gun?
Just asking for details.
The woman was like, I'm not at liberty to say.
What does that mean?
I don't know. I feel so bad for Alec Baldwin like that's terrible it's terrible it's a terrible story and I feel even worse for the woman who died in her family oh my god that was shocking
and the movie is about an accidental death the movie that they're filming is it yeah
are they gonna keep doing the movie? Great question.
Who wants to go see that?
I think it's.
I think that's the end.
It's lights out for the film.
I think as it should be.
Yeah.
But we'll see. What else did you talk about?
What else?
Brian Laundrie, dead.
Brian Laundrie.
Suspicious.
Potentially dead.
Dental.
Dental.
You know, a lot of people have been like conspiracy theorizing this whole thing.
And the whole time I was like, you know what?
I don't think it's that conspiracy ridden this is making me question yeah a lot of people are sus about it but we're still like
waiting to see and then also Ben insisted we bring back Toast Movie of the weekend I saw because he
just like really wanted some homework and I was like okay I'm not gonna make you watch Beverly
Hills Reunion so we watched the Brittany Murphy documentary it was so good I tried to download it
on HBO Max on the way home for the flight.
There's no HBO Max in Italy, so I couldn't even download the app on my iPad.
Just another reason you had to get home.
100%.
One last thing.
Last night I watched The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion that I missed
just because I didn't want to be like so behind.
And I don't know what you had to say about it.
And I also watched Curb Your Enthusiasm.
But I thought that Erica did like a sickening job what I said was Erica is clawing her way back and there
is a clear path don't know if it will be the one she goes down at the end of the day but she is
if she I said if she had to give herself a grade this was obviously a very tall task for her she
it's an a
yeah and you know the only thing that I feel like I really like I'm with all the stuff and the legal
stuff like what she's telling me I believe like it sounds like it's real where she loses me and
when she's so mean to everyone and I think that this week is where she like lashes out at Sutton
and just like lashes out at everyone like doesn't apologize or at least own the fact like I'm going
through a hard time I'm sorry I've been acting like an animal that's the one thing I wish she did and she didn't
do and I think she digs herself in a little deeper in the next two episodes that's really where she's
really bothering me the only part of the story that doesn't add up that I can't really you know
go out on a limb for and just give her the benefit of the doubt is the timing of when she filed for
divorce from Tom of course based on saying I was going to hold his hand till he died he starts
mentally declining and yet you divorcing him has nothing to do with the major lawsuits that are coming out a week later
yeah no a hundred percent and she didn't answer that question she just talked about all the
pictures she took at the crime scene of not crime scene of the car scene when it flipped and how she
called all the doctors the orthopedic surgeon yeah yeah so i thought though it was a great
performance by erica i'm not gonna lie i had same thought. It felt like watching a presidential debate.
You know how you come out of the debate being like, who won?
Who do you think?
I, like Erica was the clear winner.
Yeah.
No, she is, she's coming back out.
And when Kathy Hilton cried, I cried.
The world cried.
The world cried.
It was so sad.
Yeah.
I fucking love her.
She's so cute.
She's so cute.
Yeah.
So yeah, I'm pretty caught up.
I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I spoke to you about it.
I was actually, like, Larry David could just, like, shart,
and I would be like, that is brilliant.
It was, like, a fine regular episode of Curb,
but, like, coming off this insane pandemic we've just been through,
you know that Larry would have, like, the most hilarious reaction
to, like, the masks and, like, the six feet.
And it's literally, of all the shows I've ever watched.
Every time they bring up COVID,
I can't like,
it's so triggering for me.
This is the one show I wanted to do and they didn't even do it.
Yeah.
They mentioned one thing about the Purell.
There was no COVID.
Like I want to let.
I thought he came back because of COVID.
You should actually watch this episode of the morning toast from yesterday
because there's a girl,
one of the hosts,
Jackie said everything gorgeous.
Oh yeah.
And she was looking really great yesterday. She was, was she was and she's saying everything you're thinking
okay like literally to catch up to it down to like the funny storylines and the unfunny ones
I was so disappointed don't worry like your voice was heard heard because I had this exact same
thoughts okay good and I converted Ben to agreeing with me because when he came into the studio he
was like it was so good and then by the end he was like do better Larry that's so funny because when I got into bed last
night I'm like have you seen Curb he's like yeah I'm like oh can I watch it he was like yeah I'll
watch it again it was you know very eh so you really did change his mind I ruined it for him
yeah 100% that's really funny um okay like that was really all I had to unload like how was how
was life without me here life without you was no it was it was nice and quiet and it was just like it's nice to switch things up because then we miss you
and then when you're back it's so exciting yeah absence makes the heart grow fonder totally so
no it was pretty quiet it was just a lot of bend time I watched the show succession while you were
gone and I finished I'm all caught up now. And I need to know where people stand. Are people, this isn't a spoiler,
because it's team Logan or team Kendall,
because I know where I stand.
I just need to like, I'm just wondering if I'm the outlier.
I have something to tell you.
Okay.
I met in Italy one Italian toaster.
You met?
An Italian toaster. A met? An Italian toaster.
A piece of garlic bread?
No, like I met a bunch of like Americans in Rome.
Like a couple were staying at my hotel, like toasters from,
but in the bathroom at the club, there was a fully.
A fully Italian toaster.
A fully Italian, Italian toaster.
And you're telling me it was an Italian camper.
No, no, no, no, no.
She was a grown woman.
Interesting.
How was she? She was sickenickening i couldn't believe it like because i never like i had met a bunch of people
and they were like i love the toast i'm like where are you from texas you know like like regular
toasters just on vacation yeah this was a toaster in her homeland in the motherland yeah it was
shocking wow well shout out to you. Yeah. Ciao, millennial.
No. I don't know. You don't know. No.
Buongiorno. No. Buena notte is good night. So buona morning, millennials.
Just watch this, OK? OK.
Good morning in Italian. Buongiorno. No, wait. Wait. Buongiorno. That's what I said. I know all this from my time doing research as Italian camper. Buongiorno, millennials. Oh my god, so good. Okay, I think
without further ado, we should get into the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake
up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And today's episode is brought to you by Bruch.
And I didn't have mine in Italy and I felt...
And we can smell it from here.
I felt such a difference.
I can't lie.
Like with the hotel toothbrush, it was not it.
The best electric toothbrush on the market is Bruch.
If you've been looking to get into an electric toothbrush,
but don't want to spend over $200,
which is what some electric toothbrushes cost, which is insane.
Bruch is the most affordable, the most aesthetically pleasing, and the most effective, in my opinion.
So the Bruch comes with six unique modes to customize your brushing experience.
The battery life lasts four weeks.

Okay, first story, big news.
Dave Chappelle speaks out in the wake of the Netflix stand-up special backlash.
He says, I said what I said. big news Dave Chappelle speaks out in the wake of the Netflix stand-up special backlash he says
I said what I said Dave Chappelle is standing by his Netflix stand-up special The Closer
but says that he's open to a discussion with the LGBTQ community about concerns he was perpetuating
transphobia days after the comedian's rep told people that he was willing to speak with the
streamers employees about the controversy the comedian extended the offer to any transgender
person who wanted to sit down with him although he he did have a few conditions. He said, it was said in the
press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees of Netflix and I refused. That is not
true. He said, if they invited me, I would have accepted it, although I'm confused about what
we're speaking about. I said what I said and boy, I heard what you said. My God, how could I not?
You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix.
Well it seems like
I'm the only one
that can't go to the office anymore.
So this has been an ongoing story
since the special came out.
Yeah but you know like
every time he releases a special
there is like a hoopla
and then it dies down.
But this like won't die down
because there was a big protest
outside the Netflix office.
The employees walked out
in solidarity against the special.
I guess they want the special taken down.
They want an apology.
So here's the thing.
And I think that there's a few important things to note.
First is that I do think a lot of...
Okay, so here's the thing.
Sorry, I want to start from scratch because I changed my mind.
Okay.
One, I watch a special.
Yes, me too.
About half of it.
Okay. One, I watched a special. Yes, me too. About half of it. Okay.
Maybe more.
And there were two jokes about Jews that I really did not like.
Like, I really was not into.
So you know what I did?
I turned off the special.
And then I went on with my life.
Yeah.
And I don't know.
I just didn't feel like protesting. I think that, like, when it comes to comedy, I don't know I just didn't feel like protesting I think that like when it comes to comedy
I don't know it's definitely a gray area for me and I feel like I haven't heard anyone making any
outrage about the anti-semitism no but you know what like yeah it bothered me did I feel like he
should be canceled and stripped of all of his accolades and his movie should be taken out of
film festivals no because it's a joke and yes I didn't like it but it's a joke like it's a joke and so I don't know I don't really
feel like getting involved in this because it's like Dave Chappelle's mess and I don't want people
to be like can't believe you said that about Dave Chappelle. No but it's like if you say if you're in defense of Dave Chappelle then you're going down with him and it's like who needs that. It's the vicious cycle of cancellation so honestly like I don't even want to talk about it because like you might not agree with agree with me. You might agree with me. I watched a special and I stopped it halfway.
And that was it, you know?
Yeah, because you didn't like what you heard.
No.
But you didn't stage a protest.
But I don't think that.
And you're not calling for it to be taken down.
No.
And you know what?
I actually did really want to see his documentary about those shows that he did during COVID.
I thought they were, that whole concept in his neighbor's cornfield was, like, super interesting.
I'm sure the documentary was so good.
The documentary is now being pulled from every major festival
that it was submitted to
or accepted into.
And you know, when you're canceled,
I think we can speak to this quite well.
You do what you can.
So he's now selling his own tickets,
screening it himself.
And that's kind of the beauty
of being someone with a platform
is that while it's great
to have a Netflix special
or have your movie
at Toronto Film Festival,
you don't need it. Like you could get just as many eyeballs on it if you really
see yourself yeah and I don't think he's canceled I think this is really an inflection point because
Netflix and the CEO of Netflix is still standing by him they won't they haven't taken down the
special I think that would be the cancellation yeah and it really is a part of a larger conversation
that's been ongoing for years and especially one about cancel culture and two about comedy comedy and you say that it's a gray area but I actually think I think
it's very black and white and I think that we're needing to decide now yeah are we are we making
jokes that are offensive or are we not or are we not now I am team I'm team jokes i'm team free speech and i think even though i the special i finished it
it gave me a pit it made me really sad for like the whole day yeah because i found it to be
anti-semitic and i really really didn't like those running there was like a running joke
in the entire special images if you've seen it then you know what we're talking about juice joke i can't even it really it bothered me it really hurt my feelings me too but it's it's
his special it's his jokes it's his prerogative and if i don't like it then i'm gonna i'm gonna
go move on yeah same that's what i did same you know so i it, it's a sticky situation.
Yes, you're 100% right.
This is a conversation we've been having for years
where people keep, you know, getting into pickles
where it's like in the space of comedy,
and I'm not talking about other situations
when somebody, you know, says something bad on a podcast,
not trying to be funny, just like,
I'm not talking about situations like that.
I'm talking about in traditional stand-up comedy,
comedy specials, TV shows that are funny funny where do we land with this whole thing because we're living in a
very kind of politically correct time especially on the internet so when comedy is so the like the
complete contrast of that personally I find it refreshing even if I don't like every joke that
I hear it does feel like a lot of times in this day and age, like everything you say is just watched
and you have to be so careful with your words.
If you even not even if you have a platform at work, anywhere you are like we we don't
really allow people to like, you know, misspeak anymore.
And so for me, that contrast in comedy, it's like so refreshing.
It's just like, say whatever you want.
That's always what comedy has been.
Dave Chappelle is this like old school comedian.
So while I didn't love everything I heard on the special, I just, you know, moved on from it.
Yeah.
And I still like Dave Chappelle.
I just don't like those jokes.
Yeah.
I think that's fair.
I think it's fair too.
I mean, everybody obviously has a different take on it.
But I do think that this is a very big moment.
It's a crossroads.
It's a defining moment.
We need to decide as a culture, like, are we going to joke about stuff or are we not?
He's really the last comic standing who will go there on anything.
Yeah, and he'll never, you know, release an apology.
He'll never back down from a...
And I think what's important is, first of all,
I know a lot of people who are upset about the special
have not watched it,
because there is this underlying context of
who gets to be offended and who doesn't get to be offended.
And I think one of the messages from what I saw of the special
is there's selective outrage.
And so certain communities are entitled to outrage
and certain are not.
And a lot of people, nobody was outraged when Dave Chappelle was making fun
of his own community um or any other community he's made fun of everyone he's an equal opportunity
comedian so it's like what he said in the special is actually kind of playing out in the public
space right now right right it's it's an it's really this is a very interesting social experiment
yeah and and moment yeah and we'll we'll see where it goes from here if they do wind up sitting down It's really, this is a very interesting social experiment. Yeah. And moment.
Yeah.
And we'll see where it goes from here. If they do wind up sitting down, if they agree to his terms of watching the special
and admitting that Hannah Gadsby isn't funny.
Yeah.
That was part of his terms if they want to meet with him.
They have to watch the special and...
And meet him at a place of his choosing and a time of his choosing.
And admit that Hannah Gadsby isn't funny.
And I can't lie,
I don't know who that is.
So like,
I don't know if she's funny or not.
I know who she is,
but I haven't spent time
with her comedy.
Well,
she had a Netflix special
that she recently posted
on Instagram.
She was very upset
about the Steve Chappelle thing.
She released this like
very harsh,
you know,
statement towards
the CEO of Netflix,
towards Netflix in general.
And what I found
to be really interesting
was the comedians
fighting in the
in the comment section.
There was a whole thread of Hannah Gadsby,
Michelle Wolfe, and Michael Che
arguing about where's the line in comedy.
And Michelle Wolfe and Michael Che was like,
there isn't a line.
Yeah, there can't be a line because...
Well, Hannah Gadsby disagreed in the comments.
Where does she say the line is?
I don't remember.
Because it just doesn't...
No, it's like either there isn't like
can there even be a line yeah and Jon Stewart came out in support of Dave Chappelle
who basically was like his intention is obviously never to like hurt people it's a social commentary
yeah um so I do think it's really interesting to hear from like big comedians a lot of them are
not speaking out but the ones that are I'm interested to hear what they have to say yeah
a lot of them are not speaking out well of course not because in this day and age if you say something even you go down
with the ship no then you're transphobic yeah when that might not be the case at all and it's
probably not the case so I think I didn't even want to talk about this because like
I I hated the special but I don't think it should be taken down and I don't think Dave
Chappelle should be burned at the stake but I still I thought the special was terrible how about that but I think you should be allowed to say that I do yeah I hear you like I don't think it should be taken down. And I don't think Dave Chappelle should be burned at the stake. But I still, I thought the special was terrible.
How about that?
But I think he should be allowed to say that.
I do.
Yeah.
I hear you.
Like, I didn't even laugh.
I was so mad.
Yeah.
But it's also like this thing, Dave Chappelle has this thing inside of him where it's like,
he's going to say the craziest shit because he believes in the right to say it.
To be able to.
Not necessarily because he believes it.
Right.
And I think that that is important i agree so it's very extreme and it's at the expense of some of us but i don't know it just
the special bothered me but dave chappelle doesn't bother me if that makes sense yeah
and i'm sorry if you disagree with me like please don't cancel me i'm just not in the mood
not i've had such a long travel day I was on the plane for 10 hours yesterday yeah it was a treacherous flight but
they did serve a cheese pizza have you ever had that yes oh my god when I came back from
what do you fly delta united oh okay no when I flew back from France they gave me like a pizza
in a box like oh it was it was like a pizza burrito almost.
Okay, that's not what I got.
I got, and you know, she woke me up for lunch
and I was like slightly pissed.
And then she's like, I have a cheese pizza.
I'm like, give it, I'm your girl.
It was almost like a camp pizza.
It was like perfectly circular.
It was so delicious and moist.
It was a personal pizza.
A personal pizza.
Like a kid's pizza.
Yes, it was so good.
And I was, you I'm I'm really
slowly turning in when it comes to like business class I'm really turning into United girly like
don't sleep on it I'm telling you they have the best food in United Polaris interesting yeah and
just gorgeous service wow you love to see it except I did have like an interaction yesterday
with a flight attendant that made me like really annoyed I told you about it yeah you did and I
don't know if people are gonna agree with me but like I was it was the earliest flight
I was so tired I passed out on the flight and I'm wearing you know an eye mask over my eyes and my
mask and I must have been asleep for like an hour and somebody's like scratching my back like waking
me up like in a sweet maternal way like hey and I lift up my eye mask I'm like who the fuck is
waking me up and she's like can you
pull your mask over your nose okay yes my mask in my sleep not my fault I fell asleep with it on my
nose had slid down now was there anyone within 12 feet of me no because I was in an individual
business class seat not that people in business class don't have to wear masks that's not what
I'm saying I'm just saying, look, scientifically. Scientifically.
There was nobody within 12 feet of me.
I was under a blanket with an eye mask and a face mask.
A sliver of my nose was showing.
She really had to wake me up.
I know she's just doing her job and I'm not.
It's not about her.
I'm not blaming her.
It's not about her.
It's about the policy.
The circumstances.
Yeah.
I was so, if I wasn't able to fall back asleep,
I swear to God, I would have burned the plane down.
Like, I was so angry. I was just like, like I really respect the hustle like you doing your job it's not about
the flight attendant I swear I just felt like it was really uncool of her like for real she
couldn't have just let it slide for like for a couple hours she didn't see that little nose
I know and I have such a little nose that's why you have to sleep like cover your face no just
put the blanket on them literally i was so annoyed face the window
i was i was not facing the aisle i was facing the window i was on my side how about that
i don't know how she even saw my nose what was she doing so close to me she was violating
i'm kidding but like honestly it was so annoying i i wish i could have seen my face when i realized that's why she woke me up i'm
like what i was just like no way no way did you do this yeah it was fucking crazy that's crazy
we're living in such fucking crazy times if you saw the hoops i had to jump through to get to
italy like the tests the vaccine the portals so you had to have a negative test okay so to come
to fly yeah so on my way there
I had a negative test and a vaccination card yeah on my way back I had gotten a test in Italy and
of course my vaccination card right and I was wearing a mask so you're sitting on the plane
with everybody else on the plane who has a negative test and a vaccination card and your
lethal nose is showing and you got to wake up no it was so insane and honestly the travel has
become so unenjoyable not because of the mask honestly it doesn't bother me that much anymore literally running through italy trying to get a covid test in italian i finally
get one they never give me the results my friend margo fish runs down to the pharmacy before
shabbat starts is banging down the door like to give us our results she doesn't know italian
it's just so complicated now to travel these portals that you have to and nobody tells you
like you don't get an email from your airline like hey here's all the 11 things
you have to do you have to google it yourself like if it wasn't for the pointsguy.com like
I wouldn't know what to do wow it's just chaos chaos so worth it though well I have a story our
next story was handpicked just for you I could have shared it yesterday but I waited till you
came back because Tariq El Moussa and Heather Rae Young are married and it's the love that she's
always dreamed of I saw it on TikTok because they're both like thirsty on TikTok.
And they use these like overhyped like romantic sounds.
And it's so cringy.
Oh, stop.
This is their moment.
You know, it's like baking cupcakes.
They make a moment out of that.
But like here they actually have a wedding.
They're two celebrities.
Like this is it for them.
So they were married on Saturday night near near santa barbara they were
surrounded by family and friends including most of heather's castmates from selling which is like
coming back like any day now yeah selling sunset's coming back any day now so that's really exciting
christine was obviously not there right i don't think so i'm gonna assume no because she wasn't
at any of the smaller engagements was christina hack there? Yes. That's nice. I think so.
I think so.
You know what I actually thought was a cute thing that they did?
But I don't keep up with the Hacks.
No, me neither.
But I saw a headline that her and her new fiance
were at Universal after the nuptials.
But does that mean after they went?
I didn't actually, I didn't see her there.
And I didn't care enough to click.
Can you Google it?
I didn't care enough to click.
Okay, but I actually did see a cute little tradition that they did.
Because, you know, there's a father-daughter dance at every wedding, if you have a dad.
Christina Hack.
Heather Ray danced with her dad while Tarek danced with his daughter.
It was, like, really sweet.
I actually thought that was cute.
Oh, that is cute.
I guess it doesn't happen often.
No, it's like if you're marrying someone with kids, who happens to have a daughter?
Right.
I thought it was a really sweet idea. Like, if anyone is getting married and they have a daughter like
I think that's like something you should steal I thought it was really cute wow a compliment for
the Targale that's my only compliment also Christina was not at the wedding she was noticeably absent
yeah I mean I guess it's not conventional for your ex-wife to be at your wedding but I don't
know sometimes when like you have kids if you co-parent very well you-wife to be at your wedding. But I don't know, sometimes when like you have kids, if you co-parent very well,
you want it to be like this copacetic,
but it's usually not.
Yeah, it's, that's, I've never really thought about it,
but it's also like your ex-wife is someone
that you talk to like all the time.
You know, she's probably coming over to the house
in a few days to pick up the kids.
Pick up the kids.
And we just had this big event and you weren't there.
No, it's like rude.
Yeah.
Especially because like they at least pretend
like they have a decent.
I don't think that they do. I think like if I know if I know what I think I know about the
El Moussa hack crew it's no bueno. Got it. Okay. So maybe it's for the best. So Heather Rae Young
like looked like exactly what I thought she was gonna look like and her wedding ended at 11 59
and she changed her Instagram name at 12 o'clock like Heather Rae Young El Moussa
oh no Heather Rae El Moussa but her at is still Heather Young or whatever okay Heather Rae Young
I'm sorry Heather Rae El Moussa Heather Heather no it's Heather Rae El Moussa yeah Heather Rae
okay so she's she dropped the young but in her at like her actual username is still Heather Rae
right I'm sure you know even she can't move that quickly i love seeing how fast people do that on instagram i know i wonder well most times like when it's like people who i
follow who are not celebrities like they change their handle really quickly but she just changed
her name which isn't a big lift no changing your name your handle is such a big deal yeah um and
but i actually so i used to think it was like kind of like people who did it the next day was
like wow you've been waiting like forever to change it but now I think it's actually I really
like it because I just immediately start associating them with their new last name
yes Lauren Lane and the longer they go with their old last name it's harder to disassociate 100%
and I think the perfect but also when you're an influencer like your name is your brand you have
to be very careful yeah so I actually think like the person who did it perfectly is Lauren Lane.
Yeah.
And that might be because like her new name is like such a cutesy like Instagrammer name.
Yeah.
That she's Lauren Lane to me.
Yeah.
And I love that name.
No.
Formerly Lauren Bushnell, in case you don't know who I'm talking about.
If you make the jump, I always like, then it really works.
Okay.
So, you know, Taylor Strecker and Taylor Donahue got married, but they can't.
Both be. They'll be Taylor Donahue and Taylor Donahue know Taylor Strecker and Taylor Donahue got married, but they can't. Both be.
They'll be Taylor Donahue and Taylor Donahue or Taylor Strecker and Taylor Strecker.
What do you do in that situation?
You just leave it?
I think you got to leave it.
Yeah.
Otherwise they'll have the same name.
You know how crazy would that be if there were two like Taylor Strecker's running around?
Yeah.
Wow.
I never thought of that.
I know me neither.
And I was like, why aren't you guys changing your names?
And they're like, we can't.
I'm like, why?
Yeah.
It took me like 20 minutes to figure it out.
I'm like, oh yeah, you can't. Yeah. That they're like, we can't. I'm like, why? Yeah. It took me like 20 minutes to figure it out. I'm like, oh, yeah, you can't.
Yeah.
That's like if Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift had gotten married.
Right.
Wow.
Crazy.
Or you could have the opposite.
Ralph Lauren's daughter married a girl named Lauren.
So she's Lauren Lauren.
Even though the real last name is Liv Shitz.
Ralph Lauren's daughter.
Sorry, son.
Married a girl named Lauren oh so then
she's Lauren Lauren even though Lauren and Loren Lauren Loren and also Loren is not their last
name it's Ralph Lipschitz yeah um so she's Lauren Lipschitz which is adorable adorable like a Jewish
queen you know yeah okay are you ready for our next story is it the next story that's brought
to you by the psychology based approach of Noomom? It is. That is such a crazy coincidence.
Instead of setting strict rules, Noom is going to empower you with knowledge to build smarter,
more sustainable habits and behaviors.
So if you're looking to get in shape for whatever reason, you want to feel better,
you want your clothes to fit better, whatever reason you have is your own business,
Noom is a really good option.
They use a cognitive behavioral approach where you'll focus on the why instead of the what
to change your relationship with eating. Everyone's journey is different. So Noom is customizing programs for
you based on your personal goals, whatever that might be. Like I said, like if you're looking to
feel better, drop some extra pounds, fit into your clothes. With Noom, it's nourishing instead
of restrictive. So no food is considered off limits. They keep eating foods. They let you
keep eating foods that you love while learning to maintain a healthier balance.
An off day with Noom is totally okay
and it will not set you off course.
They'll just gently help you back on track.
They ask for 10 minutes of your day each day
to teach you about your eating habits
and check in on your progress.
They also have one of the most world-renowned,
I would say, food databases in the world.
So when you are tracking your food,
that's one of the biggest benefits.
They make it really easy. You don't have to input every calorie. You can just search,
you know, the item that you're looking for and it gives you all the nutritional information.
So if you're just looking to check out Noom, sign up for your trial and get psychology-based
support and motivation to reach your goals at Noom, N-O-O-M dot com slash toast. That's N-O-O-M dot com slash toast.
Thank you for that, Claudia.
It's a pleasure.
Okay, next up, some news that I didn't think I would care about,
but I really am.
But here we are.
But here we are.
Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes break up after bachelorette engagement.
It is over for Katie and Blake.
The bachelorette couple whose engagement aired on the ABC dating series season 17 finale in August took to social media on Monday to announce
their breakup wow August I didn't even realize it was that recent I thought it was like June
I have so many thoughts they both posted the same statement that was like so cooked up by PR and you
know not even trying to hide it but where they used all the bingo terms it is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate ways we are so grateful for the
moments of two months that we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year but
we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners and it is the most
caring choice for both of us to move forward blah blah blah what do you think is the record for the
shortest bachelorette is it Whitney and Chris souls I was thinking Whitney and Chris souls so
I don't know if I can do the math quickly enough I think they were like six weeks
it was really fast when I saw this I was thinking of them me too and so I I don't know why this
shocks me so much because it's like even if they're not suitable soulmates like I would have
thought that they would have milked it a little longer yeah me too because one like if you go
through your whole season of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette and you break up
within two months no offense it's a complete waste of time it's a squandered opportunity you had 25
you know eligible people who were there for you and you your picker was off Jackie you literally
took the words right out of my mouth what I was gonna say was like first of all Katie was The
Bachelorette that like honestly nobody wanted and now that her whole
season was a failure the the entire process was a waste of time I don't feel like okay so something
so I I'm thinking of like Hannah Brown here because Hannah Brown I just Hannah Brown by the
way squandered her opportunity is the shortest engagement probably but yeah because they broke
up before after the final rose but with Hannah, she was so beloved that, like, she had this amazing career after
with the Dancing with the Stars.
Her Instagram blew up.
Like, she became so popular.
Like, it wasn't even about the franchise anymore.
But also, like, Hannah Brown followed her heart.
She was wronged.
And that's why she, like, afterwards, like, everyone rallied around her.
It's not that she chose someone and they spent
two months together and realized they don't actually like each other yeah she she was like
she was conned and she didn't have all the information and that's kind of not her fault
no of course not but what I'm saying is like I'm not saying that you think that it is no but I'm
saying like so I don't think that her season was how could she have done it ever any differently
I mean when you think of the fact that she had Tyler Cameron like right it's shocking I'm sorry you know what she did she got conned but even
after her season people were so like obsessed that like it didn't even matter who she ended
up with like she was a bona fide star you know I couldn't even see Katie being on the bachelor on
the dancing with the stars like I don't think she she's not universally like like her season was
just like now especially given the fact that they're broken up but even if it wasn't it was
just like those random fucking season like I also think that's because you didn't watch her season was just like now, especially given the fact that they're broken up, but even if it wasn't, it was just like those random fucking season.
Like I also think that's because you didn't watch her season and you watch all
the others.
So everyone else is so top of mind.
I didn't watch Hannah Brown season.
I didn't watch Hannah Brown season either.
And still I feel this way.
Yeah,
no,
I think I'm no,
that was a fair point you brought up,
but I don't want to debunk it.
You shot it right down.
I'm a debunker.
I'm a myth buster.
That is really true.
So anyways,
I just,
it's always shocking to me, not that they break up, but that they're
ready to admit that it was a failure.
And they, they waste the opportunity of when you're in a couple, even if you're not everyone's
favorite, you're more relevant.
Like, yeah.
So honestly, I actually have a lot of respect for it.
Yeah.
I mean, but that also probably goes to show that these past two months were the tough,
were like, that was them, you know, faking it, trying to be like, get the paycheck.
Last as long as they could.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Especially like with social media, you could just, you know, keep the charade going for so long.
Yeah.
The only other thing that comes to mind is like Ari, Becca and Lauren.
And it's like, they broke up obviously so quickly because he knew that, you know, he picked wrong.
But he then remedied the know, he picked wrong.
But he then remedied the situation and like found love.
I wonder if they're like, and I always wonder this.
For people who, you know, they clearly picked the wrong person.
But they had a great group of guys.
Is there anyone that you would want to go out with now?
That's such a fair point.
I think about that all the time.
I think a lot of people were wondering that about Hannah Brown.
Like with her and Tyler spending like the pandemic together.
But they made it clear that they were just like really really good friends.
Which was just like kind of weird.
No that's a very fair point.
I'm sure that there are. Everyone says this guy Greg from Katie's season is.
Yeah I remember him.
A great a great guy.
But then I also like saw headlines that he was like with other bachelor
nation girlies yeah yeah so I don't know no also just I could really talk about that Ari and Lauren
situation like for days on end because I feel like they got so much shit um when I felt like
from the way I saw it Ari did everything right he made a mistake of course and that's was a bad
mistake to make but he fixed it in a way that was right for him, was right for Lauren.
And he broke up with Becca on national television, and she became the bachelorette.
And now she doesn't have to work anymore.
She has a podcast.
She went on Paradise Six.
She's a girly girl, and she's fine.
Yeah.
And you know what?
She might not have had all of that if it weren't for Ari doing it so publicly.
No.
So I just want to say.
And if he had, like, waited the requisite two months, and it was irrelevant.
We broke up.
And then he secretly reached out to Lauren after all the press like had moved on.
And it was just like, oh, I'm dating someone else for my season.
Like Peter and Kelly.
Right.
Right.
Yeah, no?
And who won Peter's season?
I don't even remember.
Hannah Ann.
No, Maddie.
No.
He went back.
Yeah, that was actually, that was a season that did it for me.
And Hannah Ann and Madison are famous because of like the work that they've done on Instagram.
So stunning.
But they could have easily
just they weren't
they didn't get
the winner's treatment.
Jackie you're so right.
Ari Leindyke could have
pulled a Peter Weber
but instead he gave Becca
a career.
Yeah.
I know that's mean to say
but he did.
Yeah.
Well.
He elongated her career
in this space yeah because
she never she might not have been the bachelor if they had just pretended to date for two months
someone else would have gotten picked as a bachelorette yeah so just something to think
about everyone anyways Blake and Katie Blady is over that's really I don't know it's just I
I found it to be really shocking yeah i don't really
care you don't care no okay well our next story is some more bachelor news you know some happy
couple news former bachelor host chris harrison is engaged to lauren zima the former bachelor
host announced on instagram on monday that he's engaged he unveiled the news by sharing a sweet
photo from the proposal which took place at brand vineyard in Napa Valley, California. So Chris Harrison has given out his final rose. How long were you
waiting to say that? Not very long. I like it's just the obvious. No, this is cute. Like,
can we move on? Like you care even less? No, so cute. Like, so cute. Love. What else is there to
say? I'm so happy for them yeah she's a nice girl he's like
it's great yeah you could say that about really any engagement news but just because he was like
the love doctor yeah no but they were like dating for a long time what happens next you get a cage
like I just I have like no feelings about this like that's amazing news oh my god okay no I'm
not being bitchy I actually scanning my mind for one other thing to say and I can't like what is he up to these days I'm sure he had a lot of time to search for a ring he doesn't
have a job he's boy with no job yeah okay so we'll move on no because I don't want to hurt you any
further I actually had one more thing to say do you think he's gonna ever get a job again um if
another network has a like a dating show they should hire him they should hire him just because
like it would be so much press for the show. Yeah, that's a good point.
Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
And you know what time it is.
Hold on.
Because we've been separated.
It's the final.
Why aren't you doing it with me?

scoozy okay our fifth and final story is a little it's a oh ben's rendition of the final story like
blew up our broke the internet it broke the internet he has such a big head because like
these last couple days like pictures of him the clips you've been posting which by the way you've
been really maintaining my flow thank you so much for keeping people thought I stepped out
of line no I thought you did too but I saw I had a plan I know I had a plan the engagement on our
Instagram has just been like literally double what it normally is because it's you know we post the
same shit every day and it's something different and he's literally gonna leave me like he has
such a big head also just reminded me we need to post one more thing.
Should I do it now?
I had an idea of, oh, they wanted to see Italian Theo.
Okay, but also?
No, no, no.
You're not posting that.
A selfie.
Okay, an Italian Theo.
Italian Theo.
I got, like, such bad pictures, and this Italian Theo started barking,
like, really did not enjoy what I was offering.
Right.
But I.
No, but Ben explained that on the show that he looks really scared.
So everybody was like so excited to see this.
Oh, obviously everyone didn't see my Instagram story because I posted so much Italian Theo
content.
Oh, so then we saw it.
That.
Yeah, but we want you with him.
Maybe do a slide.
OK.
OK.
And then we're going to.
I'm on it.
I'm on it.
You can.
Why don't you just chat with the peeps for a little while?
I'm going to share the fifth and final story.
If that's if you can get one ear open.
I'm here.
Kristen Stewart says she's only made five really good films. And surprisingly they're not Twilight 1, Twilight 2, Twilight 3, Twilight 4, and Twilight 5. No they
are. Those are those are the five. No she's her own biggest critic and she says I've probably made
five really good films out of 45 or 50 films. Ones that I go wow that person made a top to bottom
beautiful piece of work so hurtful for
her to say that like about about 45 films that didn't make the cut she only name dropped two
movies that she thinks are those really great films clouds of styles maria and personal shopper
so then the other three are you know up for debate and I would say it would be twilight one
breaking dawn part four and five and breaking dawn part two I would agree here's the debate and I would say it would be Twilight 1 Breaking Dawn Twilight 4 and 5 and Breaking Dawn
part 2 I would agree here's the thing and I think that's what she meant to she's doing promo for
Spencer so like wouldn't she have included Spencer in that well maybe like this leaves it open to
Spencer is one of those potentially wouldn't she have said it if she's doing press for it
if it were the case like she's trying to sell tickets like yeah that's true the two movies that she named I had never heard of or seen
and honestly like hearing her probably say that she doesn't like think that the Twilight movies
are that good makes me really upset because what are the odds that any of the Twilight movies are
actually those remaining three like honestly zero okay maybe just like breaking down part two but
um no what no part one honestly
it's crazy because I imagine if you're an actor like you do a lot of movies you read a lot of
scripts but you don't wind like the odds that you wind up in a movie that is a perfect like a work
of art you know just as she described like a great movie I'm proud to be a part of this and something
that will like live on for a very long time the odds of that are really slim so when you get something like that especially if you do like 45 or 50 movies that's a big deal now the two
movies she mentioned I never heard of yet she was in five movies that I have heard of Twilight is
really that good no I know and like that's what I'm saying I'm gathering that she doesn't agree
with us it's gonna live on for it better it's just like when I was watching the Brittany Murphy
documentary and how her first movie role was Ty Frazier in Clueless oh wow
yeah she was did a lot of tv before that but that was her first movie and it's like that movie will
stand the test of time like she was and but what's crazy about Brittany Murphy I would say she was in
about three movies that are that Uptown Girls Uptown Girl Eight Mile and Clueless also Just Married is really good you know what before you said Uptown Girl? Uptown Girl, Eight Mile, and Clueless. Also Just Married is really good. You
know what before you said Uptown Girl I was gonna say Just Married. No Uptown Girl is her best work.
It is that. And it's Dakota John Dakota Fanning's best work. So I think that Kristen Stewart actually
she might be on to something about like someone who's like a really storied actress has five good
like five iconic movies. But then you know what I think about? I think about how like every year
for the last like 10 or 15, every movie that Leonardo DiCaprio
has been in is, like, the best movie of all time. Right.
You know? Because, like, Wolf of Wall Street, Django,
so, like, The Revenant, I didn't like it,
but it is, like, world-renowned as a perfect movie. That's what he won the Oscar for.
Right. Titanic, Shutter Island. And then
even, like, random What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Like,
how is it that
there's Kristen Stewart, but then there's also Leonardo
DiCaprio, who every single movie he's ever done
is the best movie ever, you know? Yeah. Does he have any bad movies every single movie he's ever done is the best movie ever you know does he have any bad movies catch me if you can the
best movie ever like find me a bad Leonardo DiCaprio well you just said the one that's
coming out on Netflix doesn't look good it doesn't but again I haven't seen it so that's
really not fair to assess yeah I wonder how is it the Leo or is it the script choosing
right you know it's a chicken and egg situation Is he making the movies great or is he choosing great movies?
That's such a good call.
No, but the movie like Django was like this gorgeous Quentin Tarantino movie.
Like, of course, it was great with Leonardo, but it would have been great without him, too.
Yeah.
No.
Jamie Foxx was excellent in that.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Right.
Inception.
Oh.
Great Gatsby.
Oh.
The Departed.
Oh.
Blood Diamond. Oh, no. That movie really fucked with Right. Inception. Oh. Great Gatsby. Oh. The Departed. Oh. Blood Diamond.
Oh no.
That movie really fucked with me.
I know but it was so good.
So good.
The Aviator.
Gangs of New York.
Wow.
I'm telling you see.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Like what would you say is Leonardo DiCaprio's best movie?
Titanic.
Well I think it's a very subjective question.
Yeah.
Let us know what you think Leonardo DiCaprio's best movie is.
Honestly, I would say...
Shutter Island.
But only, I think it was his best acting because...
No, I think his best acting was What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Oh, that's true.
But Shutter Island, like it was all dependent on, he sold the story.
It was a great story, but like...
Yeah, it could have been like tacky.
The acting in Shutter Island was his best acting,
but it's not the best movie because there are so many others.
And also because the concept of Shutter Island
could be like a cliche psychological thriller,
but he made it like this Oscar-worthy moment.
Yes, yes.
And he acted as, you know, these two people.
Yeah, multiple personalities.
Yes.
An interesting, you know, bit of acting
craft discussion. And you know what? Is it the actor? Is it the script? Let us know. Yeah. Is
it the chicken or the egg? Mm-hmm. You know what's so great? What? Today's show's not over because
it's Tuesday. And that means it's Dear Toasters Day. And we got three submissions from Toasters
in Need of Our Help. And I think, help is on the way because Dear Toasters is here and Dear Toasters is brought
to you oh by Solo Stove oh this is exciting we were talking about them last week so if you want
to upgrade your backyard do it with a Solo Stove fire pit you enjoy the warm ambience the mesmerizing
flames and all the opportunities to create more good moments and lasting memories make the time
with your friends and family richer with a Solo Stove fire pit okay we just got one obviously we
don't have backyards but Olivia does So she's coming to town and we're
sending her home with this Solo Stove. And when I was in Vermont with my friends, we used a Solo
Stove and everybody was like raving about it because it's a better fire pit. They built a
better mousetrap. Explain. They are brilliantly engineered and beautifully crafted, made with
premium 304 stainless steel and a patented 360-degree airflow system
that maximizes efficiency while minimizing smoke.
It's easy to light with a few bits of starter,
because you know what?
I one time burned all my eyelashes off in Utah
trying to set on, like, this gas.
It was so traumatic.
This outdoor fire.
It was crazy.
It wasn't a solo stove, and it should have been.
It's easy to light with just a few bits of starter.
Your fire is blazing in minutes, and it's perfectly portable,
so you can take solo stove with you on camping trips and more.
So if you're outdoorsy, you have a backyard, you don't have a fire pit in your house.
This is so easy and it's so pretty looking.

And then you come out with a chili.
Like, I'm sorry.
You're just living my dream.
A hundred percent.
All right.
First up, Claudia and Jackie.
So I have a boyfriend.
We've been together for almost four and a half years.
We're from the same hometown.
We've essentially been in a long distance relationship for the majority of our time
together besides the summer and breaks from school.
We're the same age. He's finishing undergrad and i'm in grad school
he's not a big phone guy we don't consistently text anymore and we basically rely on snapchat
to communicate daily cringe i know i hope this isn't considered crazy and please call me out if
it is please call me out if it is but i rely on my find my friends to know what he's up to it helps
me ease my spiraling thoughts when he hasn't reached out in a few hours and i check his
location and see he's at the library studying or out at a bar on the weekend
or hanging with his friends at their house.
When I can have more context for what's going on in his life, I find I have more grace for
why he isn't responding or prioritizing me.
Since last week, his location has read no location found.
Have you spoken to him?
Like, is he dead?
I think he may have just turned off location services altogether or need to update his
phone.
Who knows?
But it doesn't read that he has stopped sharing his location with me.
So I know that he probably has no idea that I can't see it anymore.
I don't think he necessarily knows how often I check his location,
but he definitely knows that I can use it.
For example, the last time his location stopped working was the one time he lost his phone
and needed me to help him find it, which obviously didn't work because Find My Friends was not working.
I'm trying to gauge if I bring it up to him that his location hasn't been working when we facetime next or do i wait until he visits me
next month to tell him in person does he know that she tracks him she knows that he knows that
he has her location but he doesn't know that she's checking it every day got it um so she said do i
say fuck it and live like the old days where we didn't have this type of technology as a resource
what if he loses his phone again and i'm of no help should i admit how much i use find my friends or just say i happen to see it wasn't working just 2021 problems thank you ladies
p.s congrats on all the achievements of tmt nlog bebes brit society yeah thank you thanks girl
okay i want to say one thing before we give you advice and this might be hurtful but it really
doesn't sound like you have much of a relationship you're in a long-distance relationship where you
barely hear from the person and it's one thing to not be oh I'm not good with my phone
but a boyfriend like you got to talk to your boyfriend yeah I just think outside of the find
my friends you should demand more of his attention that's that's that's the first thing that's an
interesting point because I'm hearing from her of course she's checking the location she's desperate
for something yeah and he's giving her nothing. And honestly, she's in a relationship
with five of my friends.
Yeah.
And like,
it's one thing to not be good
with your phone.
Not everyone is going to be like us.
I can understand that.
But to not call every couple hours,
it's your boyfriend.
Yeah.
For five years.
So I just,
maybe it took another person
seeing this from the outside
to let you know,
like you deserve more than that.
I hadn't even seen,
I hadn't even thought of it like that.
I was just like thinking
of the actual logistics
of how you're going to tell him that his location
turned off.
But I also think that you are relying on it way too much.
And maybe it's stymieing communication because you know you don't need to, if you see he's
at the library, you're not going to ask him what's up.
But maybe if you asked him what's up, it would spark a conversation.
But think of the alternative.
Like she drives herself crazy because he doesn't answer.
Yeah.
So she's like, what's up?
And he doesn't answer.
Oh, he's fucking some other girl.
That's what I'm saying.
You're in a relationship with Find My Friends saying you're in a relationship with find my friends
you're in a relationship with his location you're having a conversation with where are you i'm at
the library how long are you there for i'm watching no literally because she has to no i know but like
you said which i didn't even realize like that's not much of a relationship you need to have an
overall relationship long distance relationships are all about communication.
They're mostly about communication.
So if you have the distance but you don't have the communication, what do you have?
Find my friends.
And now she doesn't have that anymore.
So of course she's quaking.
So honestly, I don't even think it's about the find my friends.
I think it's like about your relationship in general.
Not that it can't be fixed, but like you really, when he comes to visit,
I don't think you should be focused on how to tell him about his location.
You should be focused on saying,
I'm not getting enough out of this relationship.
Yes, but if you want to, I think you should do these two things separately.
Like first be like, you know, text him one time.
Hey, what's up? Where are you at?
If he doesn't respond for a very long time,
then you can, when you do speak to him, say,
by the way, I saw that your Find My Friends wasn't working. I was nervous because I didn't hear from you.
Right, so just go about it like you just discovered it in a very benign way and then also
I would find the time and the words to have a conversation about the larger us yeah but you
know if you have a man or a woman or anyone and you don't have their location like you ain't living
not because I don't trust Ben but because I don't trust Ben when he says he's outside when he says I'm five minutes away no he's like I'm at the light come
down when he's picking me up in the car really you're six blocks uptown right how are you at
the light right that's why you should have everyone's location yeah okay next you're not
wasting time no your time is so valuable like you could be listening to episodes of the toast
and signing up for patreon patreon.com slash morning toast Claudia and Jackie I've been a toaster for a little over a year thanks to Bobby Bones
and his wife being fans and mentioning you guys on his show.
Thanks, Bobby.
Oh my God.
Thanks, Bobby.
So happy to have found you.
Love the podcast.
Anyways, I am happily married to my high school sweetheart.
His name is Ben and we have a seven month old bebe girl who we adore.
I'm an ICU nurse on a COVID unit.
Like many hospitals, my unit is extremely short staffed,
so we have a lot of travel nurses
on my floor.
We recently got this new guy.
Let's call him Zach.
There is something about Zach
that I'm just so drawn to.
He's cute, funny,
and just an all-around cool guy.
He's so easy to talk to.
He's a huge sports fan,
as am I,
whereas my husband
hates professional sports.
I find myself hoping
he's working on the days that I'm working,
and when we are working together, I talk to him or ask him for help with tasks over other people.
This past weekend, a co-worker threw a fall-themed party.
Sounds so fun.
Was it a fall harvest?
She threw a fall-themed party for all of our work friends.
I went out of my way to invite him and didn't invite any of the other travel nurses.
So here's my question. What the fuck is wrong with me I love and adore Ben but I've never found
myself really this interested in another guy since I've been with my husband almost 10 years
I would never cheat on Ben and Zach knows I'm happily married but I also kind of get the vibe
that he's into me too should I try and stay away from Zach is there anything wrong with a little
innocent workplace flirting is this normal I don't want to be a bad wife please help thanks so much love a nurse with a dilemma I'm first of all thank you
for your service and second of all I don't know I feel like it's fine you know what like I think
it's fine like you if you really believe like you would never cheat on your husband yes you know a
little workplace flirting like I'm it's it makes it more interesting and you guys are obviously
working in very serious circumstances so if you can find that little brightness in your day just make sure it doesn't go too far
but I think I think it's okay and I think I think it'll play itself out you know like no and you
know what like as always the shiny new toys always shiny and new and as like a woman when you get
older like you just like want more attention like no matter who it's fucking like she's a seven
month old and she's just like out and someone thinks she's interesting like go for it.
Go for talking to them and enjoying your life.
In a very platonic harmless flirting for a woman is fine.
Oh my god if the roles.
If Ben is flirting with his work wife.
While you have a seven month old at home.
Oh I'm coming to the house.
I'm coming to the office and I'm burning it down.
And I'm terminating your employment.
100%.
For you totally fine. You're a nurse you work hard. You work hard. You deserve terminating your employment 100% for for you totally fine
you're a nurse you work hard you work hard you deserve a little flirtation I think it's totally
fine as long as you know where the line is and there is a very clear line but just you know
have fun live a little all right final one dear Jackie and Claudia and Theo and Brutadu
I've always wanted to have a reason to write into Dear Toasters and now I
finally do. I've been dating a PJ for almost three years. He's 31 and I'm 26. He recently bought his
own house and I live separately. My lease ends in June and I started thinking about moving in with
him once that happens. Everything in our relationship has been going smoothly until a
literal bomb was dropped just days ago. His sister in her late 20s is moving in with him.
ago his sister in her late 20s is moving in with him she usually lives with his mom but circumstances have changed chaotically and my pj boyfriend asked her if she wanted to move in i plan to move in
soon but who wants to live with her with your boyfriend and his grown sister i initially agreed
to the sister moving in situation thinking it would be a very short-term moment but she already
came to look at the house her new room and talked about all the decor and reorganizing she's going
to do two days later she's completely moved in her decorations are
everywhere she's hugging pictures on the wall put curtains up completely reorganize every draw in
the house to the way that she wants it my boyfriend is really ocd he didn't even want me hanging
things up when i moved in to decorate when he moved in to decorate sorry so when i saw her
completely take over the house it seemed like she's staying more permanently than my initial
thought i don't have a brother so i don't know what type of bond but it just doesn't seem normal
who just completely takes over their brother's new house and acts like the girlfriend doesn't exist
now i don't want to be around now i don't even want to be around his house especially not around
his sister because she overstepped her boundaries and now i just feel uncomfortable being in a house
that once felt like my own i don't want to sound like a bitch and say your sister needs to move
out but she's older than me and needs to grow up and not take over her brother's house.
How should I go about this?
Is this a red flag for the future?
Will his crazy family always get in the way of our relationship,
or am I just overreacting?
Any advice is appreciated.
Well, this is definitely an obstacle,
but I'm going to operate on the pretense that you and this man are OTP.
Me too.
And that the relationship is good and that it's worth fighting for.
And I don't know, he's five years older than you and bought his own house.
There's something worth pursuing.
That is a green flag.
Green.
So my advice is to push your way in there.
Elbows, get in there.
And when you do move in in June and when he asks you to move in,
hopefully he does it in a way that's like romantic and a big deal.
And then you just need to set some guidelines.
Your circumstances.
And you say like, so I would love to move in with you. I'm crazy about you but I just want there to be an understanding like
this is my home too and so if it's your home too then you can throw away her decor or you know get
rid of it because also like I hate to be crass but like what's the rent situation here if you
move in with him are you helping with the mortgage? Is sister paying any bills? Because if she's not, no bills, no say, no decor. No, I'm sorry. Like, I just think that
if you're a grown woman and you're living in your younger brother's house, or maybe older,
I don't know who's older. He's older. You're living in your older brother's house and his
girlfriend moves in, your time is up. Yes, but we can't fix this woman. So I don't want to focus.
No, I just wanted to talk about the chutzpah that is this woman of course putting up curtains of course
making herself known when she's literally someone's doing her favor but like from our purview of being
just the podcast giving advice to the girlfriend who's trying to move in not not you nor I know
nor she can change the sister that's true so all you can do is set up the most comfortable
situation for yourself and hopefully it makes the sister uncomfortable yeah but June is a long time
but I do think that the best plan is definitely the long game here if he doesn't ask you to move
in in June get he's I'm done with him like yeah I hate people who move slow like you love me or not
he's fucking his sister a hundred percent if he doesn't ask you to move in in June you've got
other problems but if he does which we're expecting him fully to do um you said i would love to your plan is perfect it
is your home you just move on day one you take out the curtains you put in your curtains you get a
rug you do whatever you want and she'll feel awkward because like then it really is like
she's like living with her like her parents you know she's like a kid that's the best piece of
advice but write us back in june if he doesn't ask you to move in.
Yeah.
Because nothing in this world, nothing in this life is a given.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you've got to set ground rules so that like when you do those things,
if she goes running to him, that he knew that you were going to do this.
Right.
Like I only agreed to move in with you and you're, you know,
you know, I have a question for they said they said the word invalid in
premier enthusiasm is that a bad word so they did say that word yeah and i don't think it's
a kind word i don't think it's a word we can say right because i don't think it's a word you can
just throw around okay because i was gonna make a joke especially like you know on the podcast yeah
okay i was just double checking it's not a word we like are gonna use it's like a uh it's a term but it's kind of like a not a good
one it's not nice okay that's especially for someone who is just a sister living with her
brother no i was trying to say like um like whatever i just dug myself into a hole yeah
but like uh she's just, living off of the land.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's not cool, and you should just be bossing.
Yes, exactly.
And, you know, your comfort is her discomfort.
So just make way.
