Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone's having a great day. Hello, Jax. How are you? It's only Tuesday. It's like a slug till the end. I know, but this week is going to be a slug to the end because we're so excited for the weekend and the holidays, so we're going to have to work extra hard for for it but I'm just getting ready to celebrate. I'm getting ready to feel like I deserve the holiday you know that's the best. No this is really just the greatest time of year I can't even explain to you. Allie and AJ really said

it best. They summed it up nicely. It's the greatest time of year and it's here. I'll get my triangle up. It's the greatest time of year and it's here. I'll get my triangle up. It's the greatest time of year and it's here. Let me simply state it. Joy to the world and everyone. Lift up your hearts and fill with love. That song is so good and I only recently rediscovered it thanks to your Jackie Ho Ho Ho playlist which you know I haven't listened to in a really long time, and it's really not what I thought it was. What do you think it was? A blend of, like, classics mixed with classics done by new modern singers. Like, there was some very weird things in there, but in a good way.

Like what? There was this one song. You know what? I actually want to find it. Please do. It's, like, by a rock band. It's, like, a like a cover like I really hope you know what I'm talking about if you say it I'll probably know because that's an expertly

curated playlist for those who don't know Jackie ho ho ho on Spotify is my holiday playlist that I have been working on and contributing towards for probably 10 years now every year I add like the songs that I'm listening to and then so it's a really good amalgamation of all the best Christmas music and like oh one of the weirdest oh okay wait sorry one of the weirdest I dreamed a dream by Susan Boyle beautiful fucking song beautiful song gets me in the holiday spirit okay I just need to find this one song Jackie because it really shook me I haven't heard it probably where the fuck is Susan Boyle where the fuck is Susan Boyle we do need to have her on the toast all right maybe I can't find it but I will you know what I feel like if I look

at it oh Alone This Holiday by The Used so fucking good sing it how does it go baby light a candle don't say a prayer for me yeah really random but So fucking good. I mean that's for you know my seventh and eighth graders on the bus listening to their iPods and the youths came out with a holiday tune for them to listen to around that time of year and honestly the song is so so good. If I hadn't been listening to Jackie Ho Ho Ho while reading a book two days ago and I heard that song I probably never would have heard that song ever again in my life and that's just crazy to think about like we're living in a simulation like they wanted me to hear that song yeah no it's the power of Jackie Ho Ho Ho also I finally indulged in the new Kelly Clarkson Christmas album I hadn't had the time or space but

I was writing all of my holiday cards on Sunday Bruno was Santa's helper I'm sure you guys saw my Instagram he was elfin around and I put on the album and it's just chef's kiss the problem is though that her original Christmas album is so fucking fantastic bop after bop like classics and like songs that she wrote that songs that she wrote by the way that are turning into classics right so it's like you don't want to listen to the new album because then you're not listening to those songs. So I did find a playlist that was every Kelly Clarkson Christmas song ever, including like remixes, and it's Flames. What do you think is the best Kelly Clarkson original Christmas song?

Underneath the tree. Yeah, right here, where you should be. Snow is falling and the carolers sing. Just wasn't the same. It fucking pops off so hard. It's going so hard on TikTok right now. And they're actually this guy who does like a lot of music content who I actually really enjoy.

I'm just like always learning interesting things. It's like modern Christmas songs that will eventually end up being classics. He just started the series. And the first one was that song by Kelly Clarkson. Because the fact that it hasn't been around forever is shocking. It's really just an instant classic. No, it's so good. But she has so many great songs on that album Wrapped in Red and that's the name of the album actually but it's also a song and she's just the

queen. The queen of Christmas. Sorry Mariah like I know you have I know that Mariah Carey is technically the queen of Christmas because like the one song really trumps all the others. But there's a lot of really good Mariah Carey Christmas covers on your playlist. She does amazing covers of classics too. Auld Lang Syne. That's probably one of her best songs, honestly. Yeah. No, she really gets you in the mood for a New Year's turn up. And it's like a fucking banger.

Yeah. But wait, I had something else I wanted to tell you about music. Just give me one second. Okay. Anyways, head over to Spotify for the playlist. I need to update it for like the new songs this year. I haven't had a chance to listen to like Carrie Underwood's new album but I will I will get to it I remember what I was gonna say um oh my god it was about Mariah Kelly oh Kelly

do you feel like Kelly Clarkson have is having this moment right now Kelly Clarkson's been having a moment yeah but like we we've been knowing the world no like we've yes we've known since like 2001 Kelly Clarkson is having a moment but the world has been knowing for I would say a year now like it's been a lot of different things I think it's really amped up because I think with like the Kelly Clarkson show yes like the world knew but those were like already the Kelly fans I'm talking about like the Gen Zers who's like who's Kelly Clarkson I'm telling you like Kelly being on The Voice and becoming friends with Ariana Grande I'm talking about like the Gen Zers who's like who's Kelly Clarkson I'm telling you like Kelly being on The Voice and becoming friends with Ariana Grande I'm on TikTok I have my she's been on The Voice for a while though but with Ari with Ari Ari moment is in is a moment within a moment but it's like everybody I do feel like for the last year six months to a year Kelly's been having

like her shine okay but can I tell you like Gen Z is now coming on to Kelly and this is how I know it's partly in thanks to Ariana you know she does Kelly Oki on the Kelly Clarkson show like every day well so she does a cover of a popular song every day since her show has been on the air covers I don't know if you guys know that if you ever go to one of her concerts she performs a different concert a cover at every single concert but recently all of her Kelly Oki covers from the Kelly Clarkson show have been coming up on my TikTok because she did Billie Eilish I don't relate to you whatever that's happier than ever and the the kids were fucking quaking on TikTok Jackie they were like shook they said it was some some people said it was better than Billie like that's what people say and now with the seven rings cover she just did

she is like reaching an entirely new audience and I'm telling you like this is only the beginning of the moment for Kelly Kelly like you go girl I'm so happy for her I'm happy for honestly for the kids that they're getting this level of talent injected into their everyday life and I'm happy for you honestly it's nice to see your hard work pay off you know why I'm happy for me it's that in all of these 20 years of Kelly Stanhood like I have never felt disappointed by her and you never wavered once no not even about me like just about her like I just I can't recall a moment where I was ever like unsure or like just felt that I waned in my Kelly Stan hood yeah she's been like a a stable force in your life she yeah she really is like a stable role model also she's definitely a role model I do want to say though we haven't gotten new music from her that wasn't

Christmas music in like six years the last album was Meaning of Life and it was really good because she does is that the piece by piece one no that was before that but Meaning of Life was good but it wasn't like my favorite ever what's the album called before that um with piece by piece and all those jams dance with me what's that album called I'll find it and like heartbreak song that's the best that's i think is one of the best pop albums like ever time yeah and like no one fucking cared because kelly was like ignored by a lot of people for a long time yeah anyways i look forward to some you know exciting new secular music from her piece by piece is what the album's called okay that makes sense so but yeah her entire discography page on Spotify

like is Christmas music. I'm just going to put that out there for 2022. That's when I'm going to manifest a secular album from Kelly. Yeah. I feel like I put Piece by Piece in the category that I put like Native by OneRepublic. Just like underappreciated best pop album of all time. Yeah.

Do you agree? Yeah. Why are you smiling? No, nothing. It's like... Are you going to say that's one of the things I always bring up? It's becoming. Yeah. Do you agree? Yeah. Why are you smiling? No, nothing. It's like. Are you going to say that's one of the things I always bring up? It's becoming. Okay.

You know what? I'm proud of that. Like, sorry I have immaculate taste in boy bands. I have no regrets. Boy band. Man band. No regrets. I said what I said.

It's man band. They'll always be a boy band to me. One Republic is a man band. No, One Republic is just a band. It's just a man and a band. Yeah it's a man and some unidentifiable men. Speaking of bring back Songland. Yes what the fuck and actually I saw someone people were talking about it on like maybe it was a toast group and they were saying Esther Dean is like involved in another show now. She is Battle of the Cover Bands. So does that

mean she's out on Songland? I don't think so because I'm sure she's just doing this in the in-between because I've not watched Battle of the Cover Bands but I can imagine it's nothing of the sort. And it's nothing compared to Songland. No like yeah exactly. It's literally the antithesis like of we're covering songs as opposed to writing them. We like we can't have anything good. No hopefully I mean I haven't heard anything but you know because we do love the show like it will get canceled. Yeah of course because we are toxic and we curse everything yeah everything that I've ever loved

cancelled since I was young yeah that's why you loved me so much I got cancelled we've got a great show for you guys we've got the Fast Five

and it's Tuesday which means it's Dear Toasters Day our advice segment will be at the end of the show we've got a little TV recap Jackie finally caught up on Succession we'll talk about that before Dear Toasters yes. Our advice segment will be at the end of the show. We've got a little TV recap. Jackie finally caught up on Succession. We'll talk about that before Dear Toasters. Yes, so much to discuss. I'm really glad something happened. Yeah, something big. I guess like once a season in the

finale something happens and then like that then the next season is spent. Everything plays out. Not really. It just sort of like pussyfoots around this big new change that like doesn't even signify change. You would have thought like at the end of last season when um Kendall did what he did in that press conference that that would have upended everything in the next season and it kind of like didn't they just had a lot of conversations well he just like spoiler alert like failed yeah but like he it just sort of petered out yes towards the end of the season it's like are you still against your family I can't tell yeah he lost steam anyways we'll recap it and that's really exciting and I finished my horrible book still horrible how many stars tell tell the people how many stars you gave it one single star

what was it called drag it okay here's the thing I hate dragging a book because someone spent time and energy that's so writing this they put their heart into it they put their foot into it it was not for me on any level it was awful it was worse than I could have imagined when I thought I was reading a COVID book and I in the beginning I thought it was like COVID's in the background which is like kind of interesting because that's where we are right now where I just read uh Tessa Bailey's new book references the fact that we were in lockdown. Right. So I was, but then it just, if you've read the book, you know, it takes the craziest turn. I explained it to Claudia yesterday.

It sounds like it was written by the person in the world who's the most, out of everyone in the world, the number one person who's most scared of COVID. Yes. It was like the fear monger's guide to COVID. Yes, in a lot of ways, yes. And so I really didn't like it but i needed to finish it just to see where it was going in order to give have an opinion and to reach my goodreads goal and so it's a one for me but then i was like reading all these reviews on goodreads

and like people really loved it great loved like they said it was the best book they read this which is which is so funny and you know what's actually also really funny so there's a thread in the redheads right now the facebook group people sharing the worst books they read this year is my book in there i'll cry no no but it's like every single comment is someone's favorite book no of course you know like luckiest girl alive is there a number of times like oh yeah invisible life of addy larue like all of these books that like someone loves but also someone hates and that's just books yeah that's true actually you know as an author myself of a new york times best-selling book girl with no job the crazy beautiful life of an instagram thirst monster available anywhere you buy books amazon kindle barnes and noble indie bookstores

um no i know that like my book either like you you're going to love or you're going to hate. And it's very personal. It's so personal. I would say books are more personal than comedy and food. Yeah. And you know, I'm not in the right business for someone whose desire is to be 100% validated because I'm in the books business and the comedy business. Yes. Um, I also finished a book yesterday.

I'm just plowing through to my 30 good reads. The fact that I will have read 30 books when like up until last year, up until a year ago, I probably had read four books since I left high school. I'm so proud of myself. Like, and honestly, I was talking about it yesterday. Couldn't have done it without you. Like you really, you gave me the Kindle. You gave me the resources.

You gave me Luckiest Girl Alive, which really changed my life. And then you threw in Evelyn Hugo, which just really changed my life. then you threw in Evelyn Hugo which just really changed my life I'm like this is books like who knew yeah couldn't have done it without you truly like 100% of the credit goes to you I'm so proud of you and I also just want to say I'm in the exact same boat like in 2020 I read 65 books that's insane in 2019 I read five and they were all on vacation at the end of the year. In 2018, I probably read zero books. Oh, for sure. Like from the time I left high school, the books I probably read were the three Andy Cohen books.

Like that's it. Yeah. It. So I'm just feeling really proud of myself. And yesterday I read the new Tessa Bailey book, Window Shopping, which I started and put down after 7%. I'm like, I can't read this. And I don't know what compelled me to keep going, but it was adorable.

It's perfect for end of year reaching your goals. Like I read it in literally three hours. It was so fast. There was like, obviously like the fatal flaw of the book is like this girl gets her dream job and like her dream job is being a window designer, which is just really niche. And she keeps talking about her dream. Like it's like, you know, being a ballerina. Like I just couldn't.

I don't know. It's reminding me of Cruella. It was a little corny in a sense. Were you Cruella vibes no actually but now that you say it maybe but I wasn't when I was reading the book but the only problem was that like I was picturing the main guy are you gonna read the book I don't know I might this book is getting the wildest skew of reviews yeah in the redheads face okay whatever this guy's really tall and goofy that's like his thing and I'm telling you I could not close my eyes without thinking that he was Tom Wombsgams. Like the way he described his body and like his personality.

I was like, oh my God, Tom Wombsgams from Succession is this man in the book, Aiden. It was so weird. That's really funny. Tom Wombsgams from Pride and Prejudice. Literally. That's crazy. Maybe I'll read it. I just started another book, The Family,

which is a Dana's recommendation and also is a read by read with Jenna choice. And she always chooses really good books. Who the fuck is Jenna? Jenna Bush Hager from the Today Show. She has a book club. And a few times our books have crossed. I think the only book we actually both chosen is Nothing to See Here. Was Girl with No Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster. Exactly. Nothing to See Here was great. Anytime I've read a book that actually both chosen is Nothing to See Here. Was Girl with No Job, The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster. Exactly. Nothing to See Here was great. Anytime I've read a book that has been a Jenna's Choice, it's actually been really good. And I can't say that for all of the like famous book clubs out there. So when it has the Read with Jenna stamp, I do take it a bit seriously.

The Read by JBH. Yeah, exactly. Very cool, very cool. Now I think with further ado. No, without. You never know with us. There might be more ado about nothing. Much ado.

But now without further ado, here are 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 Luminess.

Great our first story Kim Kardashian says no counseling or reconciliation effort will repair her marriage to Kanye West. Kim wants to terminate her marriage to her estranged

husband Kanye sooner rather than later. Kim filed documents to move forward with her divorce and requested to be legally single after she first filed for divorce from the rapper in February of 2021. In her latest filing obtained by People on Monday, Kim asked to have child custody and property matters be separate from her marital status. So she is forging ahead. You know, Kim, please come back to me. Didn't stop her from filing.

More specifically, Kimberly. These court documents, which to me, this is par for the course, I feel. I'm not feeling. No, I think you're being delusional. No, why? I think that they should get divorced. And then officially get back together?

I don't know. I don't know if they need to get like remarried ever, but I think they'll find their way back to each other. I think that for Kim, like to be married, you know, in legally and also be doing her own thing. Like, I don't think that's what she wants. I think she wants a fresh start. I think that for Kim like to be married you know in legally and also be doing her own thing like I don't think that's what she wants. I think she wants a fresh start. I think she should have that. I just do think that this start will lead to an end that might involve Kanye. But I think that they should continue with their divorce proceedings. Oh okay. I didn't really see it that way

but I definitely see what you're saying. Yeah. I saw this is more like. It's like so Elizabeth Taylor and she loves her. Kim loves Elizabeth Taylor? Yeah. Okay. I mean, for me, it's giving, you know, Greg and NeNe. You know, like fully divorced and then had a whole other wedding. That's my frame of reference. But Elizabeth Taylor works too.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Like, she's also dropping the West. That's a shame, but I understand. It's a shame because like by the way what is going on with KKW Beauty? Is it still in the rebrand? Yeah but also now it's gonna have to be KK Beauty which just doesn't sound great. Yeah I would like it's crazy that she made West such a part of her brand to begin with when she was already a household name and so now to have to go back change all the signage is a lot of legwork. So but I mean, it makes sense that she's dropping Weston.

She doesn't need to have it there. No. But I... But the businesses will be affected. Yeah, but so maybe this like KKW rebrand coming with her divorce filing, we'll get a new name. Just maybe Kim Kardashian Beauty.

I think that sounds better than KK Beauty. Yeah. Whatever. As it pertains to the divorce, I don't know if I'm really like, I'm not 100% in on them getting back together. I'm very open to the idea, but I also just love like him,

like having the opportunity to look elsewhere. Like it's fun. You know, she's in her 40s. She looks the best she's ever looked. She's at the top of her game. Like she should be able to enjoy the fruits of her labor. Yeah, I agree. I'm here with with and also if they don't get back together this has been so like tumultuous dragged out almost that I'm very comfortable with the idea

of them not being together it would just be like the greatest treat if they did but I my I will be okay if they don't I agree like we're we're past the initial shock yeah no I feel like the way that they did this was best for the grieving process you know especially like there was rumors first then there was we got comfortable with the rumors and then there was solidification it was a long drawn-out thing that eventually we were just like okay and tired of yeah used to yeah even like these news stories like I'm just I'm just kind of over it like let them live yeah I'm oh like just I'm here for them getting divorced I'm also here for Kanye's you know big romantic gesture romantic gestures

and I'm also here for Kim and Pete I'm here for all of it I'm here for all of it like I'm I'm here for it and I'm just here for the happiness of everyone I don't know Kim just passed the baby bar like she's so much coming up down the pipeline she needs to focus you know 100% she might be joining a new law firm could be other lawyers in the mix one of them catches her eye over a late night briefing the McKenzie file is sitting between them it's so like legally blonde is coming off the file yeah maybe he's like a first year associate named Emmett and they have to drive to a remote location to talk to a witness and then Kim gets

the alibi from her sorority sister but she can't say it because she swore to secrecy and professor Callahan says screw sisterhood and that's wrong just an idea just an idea anything's possible now when you believe that's what you need to add to your Christmas playlist you know my cold icy heart as it pertains to pentatonics was slowly melted when I heard the pentatonics cover of You Will When You Believe by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston

it is probably one of the most beautiful arrangements of the song it's with Maren Morris and it's on my playlist oh it is okay I would listen to the playlist almost in full yesterday and it didn't come on. Blame Spotify. Must be a me thing. I just search. I blame myself.

I'll just go. Yeah. I'll just go. Because you're not going to call me out like that. No, no, no. I didn't really. I wouldn't say call out. I wouldn't say that.

I think that you did. No, I probably. I wouldn't phrase it like that. Try to embarrass the playlist. I don't think I would try. Try to poke holes in something I've worked so hard on. I don't think I would phrase it like that. I just think that I was being constructive.

Right. Right. Thank you. Because I just want you to be the best version of yourself while curating your playlist, you know? Thank you so much. It's a pleasure. Our next story, Travis Scott is out of Coachella 2022 lineup following the Astroworld tragedy.

I think that's for the best. Travis Scott has been effectively removed from the lineup of performances from the 2022 2022 lineup following the Astroworld tragedy. I think that's for the best. Travis Scott has been effectively removed from the lineup of performances from the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Variety has learned. The development follows a report in Palm Springs, which reported that the rapper was dropped from the bill following the tragedy, which occurred at his own Astroworld festival in November. Was he a headliner?

He was one of the headliners and sources say the festival informed his agent of its intent to pull Travis from the bill which he was to headline and that it would pay a kill fee for the cancellation typically 25 percent. An insider adds that his agent had been steadfast in trying to keep the slot which would have marked Travis's return to the stage after Astroworld. I had heard that they offered to do it for free. Travis offered to do it for free and they still said no. Well, to be honest, I mean, I'm not going. That's just something I heard.

I'm not going to Coachella, but if I was purchasing a ticket and I saw Travis, like I would definitely think twice about it. I have to imagine people aren't comfortable. It's not been long at all. I don't think I would feel comfortable at a Travis Scott concert for a while. I would agree. That was my same thought. Because, you know, I'm sure eventually he will perform again. And if people want to buy a ticket to his concert and be in that environment, then that's fine. But Coachella being like a festival of so many different artists and people.

And it's just, I think it would also just, they they don't I'm sure they want nothing to do with that tragedy yeah and I think that that event really cast a light on like maybe some security issues at other festivals and I'm sure now moving forward other festivals are going to have like way more precautions in terms of like guardrails and just like a million things I think it was like a terrible thing that nobody else wants to experience at their festivals so I can't imagine any festival even remotely wanting to be associated with this man. Right. Especially to be the first one back. Right.

Okay. In 10 years maybe. But like. Yeah. But not. Like I'm sure they just want their festival to go off. They've already been through like so much with all the postponements and cancellations. And I.

I think this is the right decision. Who's going to fill in? I don't know. We shall see excuse me you know what would be great but like maybe a little early for her Olivia Rodrigo like because when this lineup was announced like she wasn't really at the place that she's at now her entire tour sold out she played like Austin City Limits she played Rolling Loud I think that would be a great headline those no it's like during the daytime but still like I think the Coachella crowd like the thing with Olivia Rodrigo is, like,

she's so new, but she's so much more famous than people who have been around for 10 years. Like, I think she actually, like, could. Could headline? I know that's crazy. I think she, like, it would be, it would, it would be really crazy. Yeah, no, it would be. But, like, Billie Eilish, well, first, remember when we went, Billie Eilish was. At a different stage.

She was super new. In like the third row. Yeah. And now she's like headliner status. Oh yeah. But I think it might be like still a little too early. That's true. Billie Eilish is a good comparison.

Yeah. Our next story, a little justice news. Larry Nassar survivors to receive an additional $380 million settlement after years-long lawsuit battle. Fabulous. From who? USA Gymnastics? USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have agreed to a settlement with the survivors of sexual assault of Larry Nassar, who filed lawsuits against the former osteopath. That's really not enough money. No. According to the USAG's official site, a federal bankruptcy court in Indianapolis on Monday confirmed a $380 million settlement between and those who were assaulted by Nassar during his two-decade tenure with USAG overseeing the medical treatment of gymnasts hoping to represent Team USA in the Olympics.

USAG and USOPC will also provide several other non-monetary provisions to the lawsuit complaints, including a dedicated seat on USAG's board of directors and an investigation into the organization's culture and practices. Oh, great. So if some of the survivors are, like, involved in USA Gymnastics now, I guess that... Yeah, put them on the board. Put them on the board.

Like, that makes this much less likely to ever happen again. Yeah, but if it's going to be survivors on the board, not just like, hey, we're going to have a board seat of someone who's, like, making sure this doesn't happen again. Oh, sorry. I interpreted it as someone, one of the survivors. It just says a dedicated seat. You know, it could be someone who's like.

Some asshole, yeah. Okay, well, it's a start. Love the $380 million for the girls. I just literally load this man with every fiber of my being.

great our next story speaking of olivia rodrigo she's belting out her hit song driver's license at the real life dmv oh i saw her um tiny desk oh wow really disrespected the book in a serious way i'm so sorry yes i saw she did her tinyk concert at the DMV, which was very cute. Yeah, most Americans dread a trip to the DMV, but Olivia Rodrigo was willing to hang out at one of the offices after hours. The singing sensation spent time at the Glendale DMV in California earlier this month recording a show of NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. The unusual gig location was a reference to her big hit, Driver's License,

which she performed at the DMV along with three of her other hits. Her team reportedly paid $2,383 to use the DMV office after it closed to the public for the day. Economical. Yeah. I mean, it's a little on the nose, but...

I mean, just like the DMV... Will never be an aesthetic. I know everybody hates the dmv but i feel like i hate it more than that you don't even have a license i know but that but i think it's because of like just the dmv trauma that i've experienced okay what's the trauma they're just so mean and impatient and they just like they're oh my god especially in new york because you get like new york attitude plus d DMV attitude and it's just it's in my first permit photo like I literally have tears in my eyes because they're like yelling

at me like to go do and this and that I'm just like I'm just a kid yeah no that's the thing when you when you first experience the DMV and I think why we're all so emotionally scarred by it it's because when you're like 15 16 17 getting your permit and you're so young and impressionable and they're so mean to you always. That's why I think as a society we all have like childhood trauma from the DMV. And like you're so excited to be doing this thing. It's such a big day. And they just rip you to shreds.

They just take a dump on it. Yeah. I'm actually dreading the day that I have to go in for a new photo because I have the same photo. I've had my license expire I think maybe once since I've gotten it. But they just send me a new one with the same photo. But I do think eventually I'll have to for a new photo because I have the same photo. I've had my license expire, I think, maybe once since I've gotten it. But they just send me a new one with the same photo. But I do think eventually I'll have to take a new photo, right? Yeah, probably.

I can't tell you how little I'm looking forward to it because my photo right now is hella cute. Oh, look at you. Yeah, like, it's just, like, a random thing. Like, I actually looked, like, pretty that day. Yeah, but it's always interesting. Like, those pictures, like, whether it's license pictures, passport, whatever, like, they really are a sign of the you are you know you can't face tune you can't do a little trust me I've tried

turn of the head like that's your big face no ring light that's your face and you're stuck with it yeah and like a lot of the times you have to put your hair behind your ears something about like showing your ears in your picture and that's just like the most unflattering I don't mind it I actually did something crazy last time I had a photo taken I didn't update like I didn't do an updo I just had my hair like what photo was this for like passport yeah one of those and that's very brave yeah no but it turned out like kind of cute all right well like pro tip I haven't had my photo taken like my passport and my license are like on the verge of expiring so I haven't taken a photo in like eight years get ready like 40 pounds you know yeah yeah I have to actually have to practice like no and like do some you know ice rolling yeah yeah gua sha yeah really

get the face as tight and trim and so then you show up to the DMV looking and feeling your best yeah but like after all the shit they put you through you're like sweating you're crying like after being made to feel like your worst yeah yeah you gotta bring the shit they put you through, you're like sweating, you're crying. After being made to feel like you're worse. Yeah. Yeah. You got to bring the ice roller with you. No wonder I never went back. Yeah.

But Olivia Rodrigo is throwing herself into the lines. It was a very good concert. I guess she has good associations with the DMV because it's where she did get her driver's license, which like, you know. Changed her life. Opened up the whole world to her, literally, figuratively, musically. So I would imagine like she looks at it fondly yeah I wonder if she's gonna continue doing HSM SM SM she is yeah she said when they go back to filming I saw that she said that that that she's in I have to

imagine she's like feels like brought down by it a little bit like she's just on this trajectory and this thing that yes of course did contribute to her but like she's outgrown it a little bit like she's just on this trajectory and this thing that yes of course did contribute to her but like she's outgrown it a little bit definitely has well I think I mean perhaps she has but I think she has all these new fans now who are going to want to watch her on it and I think she's going to make it an even bigger show and now she has like this acting thing going on where she also gets to sing and she this music that they write for her or that she writes is very good really good and I think it just adds to her portfolio yeah but I do think like a lot of her new fans like some of the older ones like we can't watch it like I watched the first season it was like super cute especially given like the whole story with Joshua the second season like it's really for for children like it's it's like embarrassing to watch it because I was

gonna say I liked the first season so did I but I just realized I never watched the second season it was like I felt embarrassed like to be watching it like Ben came in he's like what are you watching like I can't tell you damn it's for kids okay but maybe the third season. It was like I felt embarrassed like to be watching it. Like Ben came in he's like what are you watching? I'm like I can't tell you. Damn. It's for kids. Okay but maybe the third season like they now they know they have this new audience. Right. I think that they could step it up. If they made it more of like a little bit of a mature show like a Degrassi I think it could be good. I think that they could and probably will do but I think they realize there's an opportunity here and it's also Disney plus like they have. Right it's not on Disney channel like they can get a little they could throw in a fuck you know yeah no but also they can hire the right people

to make sure that it's like a good show is this a Kenny Ortega production High School Musical the musical the series I don't think so it doesn't have the Kenny Ortega stamp on it no it doesn't have the Kenny Ortega touch like there's not a jazz square in sight no and that's how you know that's how you know are you ready for our fifth and final story? It's the final story. It's the final story. I can't think of anything to say. And that's a magic number.

Okay, what is it? Hit me with it. I'm going to hit you with it. It's a little clarity around some of our conversation from yesterday about the Peloton commercial. Oh, I have one thing I want to say. Okay. Before we dive in. Before we dive in.

Something totally unrelated. I have to issue a correction yesterday. When I was talking about the sex lives of college girls, I said Renee Rapp was a lesbian because that's what i saw on tiktok she's not she's a boyfriend so sorry i did not mean to like miss okay identify anyone got it completely unrelated no but just you reminded me of yesterday yesterday's tings well we were also talking about when did this peloton uh commercial come together why is ryan reynolds always like doing peloton stuff here's the thing first of alloton commercial come together? Why is Ryan Reynolds always like doing Peloton stuff? Here's the thing. First of all, it did come together in the last 48 hours post premiere of Just Like That.

I just want to say like, yes, that's what everyone who's involved in the commercial, like Peloton social media, Ryan Reynolds, all the actors, that's what people are saying. I did have someone in my DMs who works like high up at a production company say that like these contracts were going out to like Chris and Oath and stuff in June that's all I want to say I saw that you got a dm I sent it to you you send it to me and then I also got a dm from that person who's really adamant that this was happening back during the summer so I just want to say I also got a dm from someone who works at Peloton who said this happened in the last 48 hours okay so and the you know the public line is that it did happen in the last 48 hours.

Ryan Reynolds's production company Maximum Effort was the driving force behind the commercial. Which is why he did the voiceover. Which is why he did the voiceover. Now I don't know if this has anything to do with his parody of the Christmas commercial from a few years ago or if that's just totally. Unrelated. A coincidence. But it does feel like he's always

you know injecting himself in the middle of Peloton Tings so Peloton Tings 48 hours good for them if it's true

if true big if true well what I said yesterday is like it wasn't a very highly produced commercial like it was one scene it wasn't like a

a story like there was literally just one camera two people a couch one set it could have been sliced together and edited in 48 hours I do think that's still possible I stand by what I said

yesterday yes but it's not that so much because that's a day's worth of work but it's the getting like first of all it's the how much are we paying Chris no negotiating seeing the episode like realizing that oh my gosh okay we have like a bit of a PR opportunity on our hands. It's coming up with the idea, which you know in these corporate bureaucracies, take forever to get off the ground. Then we have to talk to Chris Snoth's agent. They probably have to get like Sex and the City or HBO Max. Because they did reference it a little bit. And so it's the back end of that that is surprising that got done.

Yeah. I'm hella skeptical. Like it's possible, but I am skeptical. It's funny. Yesterday before they announced that it was, you know, 48 hour turnaround, you were more believing that it was 48 hours. No, but now they want us to believe it so bad, I'm not believing it. Wow.

They think that they know that I know, but I know that they know that I know. Wow. Yeah. She turned it around. I did. I flipped the script. She flipped the script. Those were the past five. Feels like you needed to know them. For sure. Yeah. But we're not even close to being done with today's episode because we've got so much good stuff.

Succession, spoiler zone, fast forward if you haven't watched yet, but season three finale popped off. I mean, it was really like, I was watching it very excited because you said a lot happens and I was like still took me you know two hours to get through it because nothing was happening but then of course the last two minutes um we got the answers it was also a gorgeous episode like taking place all over aesthetically Alexander Skarsgård house in what

is that like like Como I don't know I don't know where it's supposed to be but it's so sickening like it's just upsetting to watch. Like when they go from the helicopter to the boat to the house. Yeah. Honestly, I was honestly thinking like I need a Zofran because that's a lot of. Travel. A lot of like, and also like I've never been in a helicopter. You have though.

Never. No? I'll never go in a helicopter. Yeah. But I think that you like, you feel everything because it's like not that big. Well, I think the ones that they're on are like the limousines of helicopters like really fancy I don't think it's that bad but no it's not a mode of transportation I'm even remotely interesting in ever pursuing yeah and

then to get into a boat like I was just like oh where are the sea bands yeah like why did everyone want to go from the wedding like I would have rather stayed put at the wedding I just feel like this this episode really highlighted like how fucking annoying all the kids are and I know that like I think that most people are like team kids which is so crazy these kids are such fucking ingrates first of all except from Kendall who's a murderer so like it doesn't even matter neither of them have ever even properly worked at the company like for real like he had a stint in LA Roman and then he like quit because they didn't like his movie or whatever and he was doing a bad job. Shiv worked in politics up until a year ago. But you expect this Fortune 500 billion dollar company just to be placed up your ass because

you're Logan's kids? They're such fucking ingrates and they just expect so much from Logan. And not only does Logan give them nothing, which yes, I guess is frustrating as a kid, but you don't fucking deserve it. No, but I don't feel like he gives them nothing. He gives them everything. They have billions of dollars to their names. they don't care about that they want the power like they do not care about the money what will they do with their the power they're so ill-equipped

and also like the entitlement yes of course like you would hope that you know you will succeed when the day comes but like Logan has said over and over again the day is not here yet so like every time they don't get what they want they're gonna like go and tell the world that he's crazy and like deranged and like old senile man no they're so out of control so ungrateful and so ill-equipped to take over this company unworthy I completely agree I mean anyone who's team kids I can't delusional understand you whatsoever like and when Logan was like make your own pile i was like that's it that's the whole thing and also not only make your own fucking pile but you have a whole pile to start with right like you have literally every opportunity in the world but

the only thing you want is to take away the thing your dad built fuck off no and it's like they have no respect for the thing that that he built they like talk so much trash about it like wait they don't even like the company they don't even like the company they don't like their audience they don't like anything about it so why are they so desperate to get it i don't know they're such in they're so entitled no that car ride where they're like talking on the way to the villa that logan's at like three the blind leading the blind no and they really thought that they were gonna storm the Bastille, stage this coup, and, like, to have their asses handed to them

in such a way was so beautiful. My only, if I'm a little RDH, it's like I do wish that Roman would have turned because he's been, like, the most loyal up until this point. But it's like, I understand why he didn't. Like, Logan once told Kendall, like, this will be yours. Just trust me. And then he, you know, didn't give it to him. He said the same thing to Shiv, Logan once told Kendall, like, this will be yours. Just trust me. And then he, you know, didn't give it to him. He said the same thing to Shiv.

And then Shiv shot the bat. And I'm sorry. So why should Roman believe him? So, like, when he's saying to Roman, no, Roman, like, it's, you know, you'll beat tops. He's like, listen, fool me thrice. Shame on me. Who is your least favorite kid? Say it on the count of three, okay?

It's so easy. Oh, it changed recently. Me too. One, two, three. Shiv. Okay, wait. Who's your favorite kid? One, twonor oh connor i forgot about him i love connor he's harmless like really yeah um and when he had that like that whole break when kendall was like i'm the eldest son i was like

oh well because they have different moms right connor has a different mom than everyone else got it got it so that i i felt like he had earned his right for a little bit of break of a breakdown but like it's funny how nobody cared like i know but he did earn his right there's so fucking mean to him there's so many to him and he's the only one who's like grateful like i can have i my dad gave me everything in the world i'm gonna buy a ranch marry this girl like pretend to run for president like he's the only one who's without his hand so far up logan's ass yeah yeah you're right there's value no and it's like he asks for big favors he doesn't get them and then he doesn't go turn around and burn down

the whole thing right he doesn't like betray his whole family he just goes back to his million dollar ranch he comes up with a new plan totally he's a bit of like a fool like he's really Job yes um from Arrested Development but he's just the only one with any sense of like love loyalty love exactly which is just so crazy and then let's talk about the Tom of it all But he's just the only one with any sense of, like, love and loyalty. Love. Exactly. Which is just so crazy. And then let's talk about the Tom of it all. Tom has been my least favorite character for two seasons and eight episodes.

Yeah. When Shiv was like, who the fuck told him we were coming? I wasn't expecting us to find out. I just figured there's, like, you know, snakes everywhere. Of course. And then it didn't even hit me at first. He put his arm on Tom and then Shiv's face is like, it was just really brilliantly done.

And I loved every second of it. First of all, Shiv does not deserve Tom. Tom wanted to be so loyal. And like she wouldn't let him. And she's so mean to him. Like fuck Shiv. I'm so team Tom. I would have done the exact same thing yeah no I mean it's it I don't know how they stay married after this but how were they staying married before like she literally treated him so poorly

and he he was looking out for number one and and number two cousin Greg cousin Greg who's so cute and I really hope he ends up with the princess. And also like Cousin Greg is pretty loyal. Because even when the family was at odds, like he stayed good with Kendall and with everyone else. So he's a good one to have on your side. Right. And I just, I hope that, you know, this, this L, this big fat L for the kids like continues on.

Me too. Season after season. Because I don't know what the end goal of the show is, but if it's, like, the kids winning, like, I'm not interested. Well, I think the end goal of the show is, like, succession. Who will succeed?

Right. How does, you know, when Logan, because eventually he will... Die. Either die or retire. Then, like, what comes next? I'm here for the Gojo deal, by the way. Like, we've got to evolve.

Yeah. We've got to. I agree. And Alexander Gojo deal, by the way. Like, we've got to evolve. Yeah. We've got to. I agree. And Alexander Skarsgård was spitting facts. He was giving, like, Elon Musk vibes. Yeah. When he was telling that story of, like, Mark Zuckerberg told him about, like, the Roman slaves, and Logan was like, oh, Zuckerberg has some kid reading history for him now.

So funny. You have to watch a show with subtitles, like, or you will miss out on, like, on like some really good shit yes but I watched a lot of the show when I was like binging it I watched so much with subtitles and you realize a lot of the script is because I guess they want it to be like very realistic a lot of it is oh uh and stuttering and like kind of repeating themselves because it's not like yeah because it's like real conversation and it made me really hate the dialogue doesn't bother me at all. Oh, having the subtitles on. I try really hard to do it without.

Otherwise, seeing all these uhs and like small things that they say in between. It just really bothers me. Oh, I mean, I noticed the errs, but it doesn't bother me. And I feel like I would miss out on half the show. Like I would have no idea what's going on if I didn't watch with subtitles. Yeah, if I hear something that sounds important and I didn't get it, maybe I'll go back, put on subtitles. And it depends on who the character is.

Like sometimes on Yellowstone I have to put on subtitles for John Dutton because he just speaks so low. What I thought was really great about the episode was like they had that conversation, Greg and Tom at the wedding. I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about. Like I just thought it was like a weird Tom thing. Like I didn't think anything of it. And then when he ended up being the one who ratted,

it was just really like a full circle. I'm like, oh, that's why he had the conversation with Greg. It was just really kind of excellently done. Yeah, it really, it was. I just, I feel so justified. I've been team Logan the whole time and I know most people have been like team Kendall or even like team Shiv and whatever

and just like I feel seen no I can't believe people out there are not team Logan like that's insane to me I feel like that's like if I meet someone I have to ask them if they're team Logan or Kendall because like if you're Kendall like we just have totally different values like I completely agree like respect your elders like don't be ungrateful don't be entitled like I just can't yeah no be grateful for what you have and like stop trying to kill your father put him in an early grave so that you can take over with your mediocre ideas no and so I think a lot of people take team Kendall because they think he's like this like progressive like hero he's gonna like change the politics of ATN when it's like he's a bigger fraud than the rest of them he stands for nothing yeah not a thing right fuck the patriarchy like such a loser such a loser such a loser um when he was like yeah we've got Vanity Fair like doing

this big interview and Combrey's like it's mostly us reaching out to them like you know it got really sad for Kendall really quickly realized at the end of last episode when he was in the pool that he was attempting to kill himself well when I saw that I was like did he just uh I didn't realize at the end of last episode when he was in the pool that he was attempting to kill himself. Well, when I saw that, I was like, did he just kill himself? I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was just

like an artistic thing. No, I saw that and I was like, is Kendall dead? And then the previews for next week had Kendall in them. So I was like,

oh, okay, so he just took a nap. Right. No, but I guess it was in between the two. Yeah. So yeah, really good. I'm surprised

there's not one more episode I just find that extremely confusing but I guess we'll just have to wait and see yeah but I you know what if we never got another episode I would be completely fine with it because I'm sure in the next season like you know Logan will have to take some L's and they'll tussle back and forth uh and I don't want to see that like this is the ending if the show ended like this beautiful beautiful I actually couldn't agree more. Okay. Any other TV you watch that you want to recap?

I started this show called 20-somethings Austin which is like a new reality show on Netflix and I have to say it's so atrocious. It sounds good. No.

It sounds good and I was watching it and I was like this kind of sucks and I posted it on my Instagram and everyone was like literally there's not one ounce of drama.

Like nothing happens. So I just gave up while but I thought it was interesting that they cast like a really like normal one ounce of drama. Like nothing happens. So I just gave up while, but I thought it was interesting that they cast like a really like normal looking group of people. Like on reality shows, they're always just putting people like, I've never seen a girl like that

when I walk out on the street. It was like normal people with like normal bodies and different, like diverse sexualities and ethnicities. And I liked that, but it just wasn't good.

Like that's... Well, it sounds like a good premise. It does. Maybe they can get it together. And I think they'll probably do 20 somethings like New York. Not if no one's watching. Yeah. But you know.

Yeah. Not a bad idea for a franchise. No. Okay. Well the show is not done yet because it is Tuesday and that means we're doing Dear Toasters our advice segment.

Good morning, Jackie and Claudia. First things first, I've been a toaster for about eight months

because my friend from college made me watch Claudia's stand-up show while I crashed at her house in Minneapolisneapolis for a work trip tmt has reinvigorated our friendship in the best way possible we're in different life stages right now and between life and the geographical distance we didn't chat that often but now we talk and joke daily about the toast and it feels like we're in college again oh that's very sweet i'm currently 24 weeks pregnant with our first child and my husband and i are so totally at a loss for boy names he desperately wants a little girl we don't know the gender and for that reason along with the fact that I come from a four daughter family I think we're probably having a

boy we've had the girl name picked out since day one and we are in love with it it's a classic name and it relates to both of our families but as for the boy names none of them are speaking to either of us we obviously have time so we agreed just not to think about it for a while. My husband has this amazing friend slash mentor who's an eccentric older man who has never been married, has no kids, nieces or nephews. He's a very normal name for a man but it's also kind of blah. He's always been so generous to us, housewarming gifts that cost thousands of dollars, surprise airplane tickets, nice dinners. We just recently found out that he is worth an obscene amount of money. Do I suggest to my husband that we name the potential boy baby after him on the absolute off chance that our child gets set up for life? I'm so embarrassed even typing it out. But like Claudia said, money talks. I can't tell if he

would be annoyed that I suggested using his friend or if he would vehemently agree. And then we are stuck with a boy with a blonde name but a potential trust fund. So here are the questions. Do I keep this to myself or tell my husband? Would you name the boy after him or hold out for one that speaks to you sincerely a toaster who wants a daddy warbucks well you should definitely talk to your husband about it if it's on your mind and it's an idea and like see what he says maybe read the room maybe he would say no i actually never even liked him i don't want like our kids be named after him maybe he would like be touched maybe he would be like yeah oh my god actually I think that you know we might get the fortune and if you like the name and there's not another name that you love like this is a real option so talk to him about it I'm not saying do

it but also I just want to say there's a way for you to like get his fortune it feels weird to say there's a way for you to get his fortune without naming your child like but when you do have a child like make it clear that this man is a very important figure maybe make him the godfather like something random yeah like invite him like you can work on getting your fortune without naming the child so if you hate the name like that's you know a valid reason she said it's blah she said it's a classic male name which sometimes is like no that's what they said about the female name it's like a no perfectly classic she literally said it's a classic male name, which sometimes is like. No, that's what they said about the female name. It's like a perfectly classic.

She literally said it's a blah. The female name has family history for both of them. His name is a classic male name. That's what she said. The girl's name we are in love with, it's a classic name, and it relates to both of our families. Okay. Boy names, none of them are speaking to us.

He has a mentor who has a what name? He has a very normal name for a man but it's kind of blah that's what she said okay so it's not I'm imagining like a Matthew you know John biblical John yeah yeah which is like fine I mean but also I mean I like this is how I felt before we found out the gender I was like I had a million girl names picked out and not one boy name and we needed to find out the gender because otherwise I would have never like spent my time on boy names so obviously you've already made this decision not to find out but maybe you should just find out because oh yeah like you just you need time to plan and think about these things that's true

because if you find out the gender and it's a girl you don't even have to think about this blah name yeah but they've clearly decided not to find out the gender but I think if you're really like at a loss for names on one gender you should find out yeah it might just take some of the stress off I can't imagine like going in kind of unprepared like that for half of the possibility so definitely talk about um this idea with your husband you know take its temperature but also you know get some baby name books those are always like really fun to do it is you know it's also a great way to um find good different names is by reading books like that's what I was gonna say I you know last the book I read last night the girl's name was Stella and I love that name but my best friend Anna just named her kid Stella so I would never but it was like got me thinking like that's a gorgeous name yeah no reading especially reading like historical books historical fiction like names it's a great way to

find names yeah and the the man's name was Aiden I also thought that was a gorgeous name too gorgeous gorgeous girls so I actually what's everybody's saying that oh okay I'm so glad you asked is it the soup one it's from TikTok gorgeous gorgeous girls love soup soup girls are the most popular girls in the chicken soup that you once sent me yes and then every now and that sound went viral and then now people are making their own sounds like i made one gorgeous gorgeous girls love rice rice girls are the nicest girls in high school like you just make up your own little thing got it okay like gorgeous gorgeous girls are always running late so it's exactly what I thought it was. Yeah.

Okay, cool. You're just like so smart. And it started with soup. Yes. And the chicken coop. Okay. So yes, I think we've given actually good advice. Talk to your husband.

Maybe find out the gender. Really invest in good books. Those are three really good options in my opinion. But good luck with Daddy Warbucks. Even beyond all this naming things, please keep this man close to you. Like give him an important role at the christening or something. Like there's money on the table here, okay? Maybe you can name him after Daddy Warbucks himself.

Yeah. You know what Daddy Warbucks' name is? Carl. Oliver. I love the name Oliver. A beautiful name. I love that name. That is way too close to Olivia.

I know. Okay. Next up. Hi, Jackie and Claudia. How you. That is way too close to Olivia. I know. Okay, next up. Hi, Jackie and Claudia. How you doing? Doing good. Huge toaster. Thank you for getting me through the pandemic. So I'm getting married to my PJom fiance this coming summer.

We've been married for, no, we've been together for seven years and are from the same hometown. I've been super close with his family and I love my future in-laws, especially his mom. Unfortunately, last November, my fiance's maternal grandmother passed away at the age of 99 it was definitely coming and she's in a better place I loved his grandma and she even gave my fiance her wedding ring to use as my wedding band here's where it gets awkward due to COVID we have not had a funeral for grandma some of the family lives in another state so it's been difficult to coordinate a time that works for everyone my future mother-in-law asked my fiance if we could have grandma's funeral the day after the wedding. My fiance is a people pleaser

and didn't give her a yes or no. We had planned on staying at our hotel an extra night since we are going on our honeymoon at a later date. The funeral would be two hours away and I definitely didn't want to be hung over. I feel like a bridezilla for saying this but having this funeral during our wedding weekend will make the fact that the wedding is over so much sadder. Am I the worst person in the world for not wanting to go to a funeral on my wedding weekend what should i do love a toaster and the least favorite daughter-in-law that's fucking insane yeah i just want to say i think you're like in this tunnel i'm so glad you wrote into us because you can't see out of like this as normal people your in-laws requesting that their grandmother's 99th funeral

be the day after your wedding is so asinine she When she passed away a year ago. Find another day. Fuck off. You have to stand firm. That will ruin your wedding vibe. It's not like the funeral is next door. So it's like everyone's in town. So let's just go over next door and then we'll bury Gran. But it's like two hours away. So we all have to travel anyway. I think that's so crazy. Also Gran should be laid to rest before your wedding. Yep. That, you know, it's like the bad news and then the good news. You could literally have a funeral any day of the week. It doesn't matter. Like, you don't have to, it doesn't have to be like a, like a wedding is like a Saturday

night, a Friday night. A funeral, you can have it on a Tuesday morning. Like, there's literally no reason that it needs to be the day after your wedding. This is hella disrespectful. Like, stand your ground. That is so crazy. It's like a two for one weddingone wedding funeral special it's atrocious respectful to grand two and put your foot down tell your husband it's bonkers yeah and have they absolutely

like do not move you're immovable on this issue no have the funeral next month have the funeral literally any time no but like have the funeral like asap what are we waiting for this is asinine your mother-in-law is a piece of work i just want to say that's on unreasonable to ask perhaps the way that they see it is like listen everyone's coming to town we'll kill i don't care one stone no but i don't know i i just don't think a a funeral is a bird that i'm assuming you're a covid bride like after all you've been through seriously like fuck off if they do want to have it like at the same weekend as yours. Then at least the funeral should be first. No. Like it shouldn't be on the same weekend.

No. On the. At the very fucking least. I get it. But like no. No to this whole thing. I agree. No to the whole thing.

Good luck. Let us know. All right. Finally. Hello Claudia and Jackie. So what does that mean to not have a funeral for that long? Like where's Gran? I think like in a drawer. You know? Oh. where's Gran? I think, like, in a drawer, you know?

Oh, cremated? No, in, like, a mortuary drawer. For months? Yeah, it's, like, cold in there. No, no, I'm sure, like, but don't they have, like, you can't just take up a drawer forever. Or, I guess you're cremated, but you don't have a funeral for cremate. Yeah, you do. No, you don't.

Because it's just a service, a celebration of life. Well, that's not a funeral. People who are cremated, like, then, like, they take their ashes and, like, do. Yeah. Like, a funeral is a casket. Okay. That's really, like, a lot to think about. No, I know.

I really don't like thinking about, like, physical bodies after death. We've got to move on. I can't think about it. Oh, no, now I'm going to sneeze. I've been triggered. Hold on. That way, that way, that way. To the left.

To the left, to the left. Okay. Final one. Hello, Jackie and Claudia. 2021 has literally been the hardest year of my life and it would take a hundred page essay to explain all the reasons why. But trust me when I say it's been a year.

I became a toaster this year and y'all have truly kept me sane and been a happy distraction for me through some of the tough times thank you so the cherry on top of my very difficult year is that my husband and I I'm 25 he's 26 decided to get a divorce we've been together for six years eloped at the end of June and we've been talking about marriage for a long time and I've always known that he's the one the decision to divorce was not because of any crazy dramatic reasons like cheating or a big fight. It was a lot of small things we've been dealing with for a very long time

that have been piling up, and we've been sweeping under the rug. We both love each other so much, but we reached a point where we realized we may not be each other's endgame. Needless to say, it's very fucking hard. However, I'm not writing in for advice about my relationship or how to handle the end of it, although I do welcome any kind words. I'm writing in because we were only married for about five months and I'm really embarrassed. Even though everyone around me is telling me not

to be ashamed or embarrassed, I can't help it. This is the person I truly imagine spending the rest of my life with, having children with, et cetera. And we've talked about that for the last six years with my friends and family. Now suddenly I'm like a divorcee at 25 years old after a five month marriage. Like what the fuck? Literally just typing that sentence made me cringe. I feel like people think that I was impulsive when I married him and that we couldn't just handle the married life and called it quits after five months. I know that it is so much more layered than that and I know the truth, but I feel like everyone around me is judging me. I'm trying to survive the heartbreak of it all, but now I feel like I have to explain myself to people too. What the fuck do I do and how the

fuck do I handle this? Love y' all so much and thanks for any advice. Claudia, I'm in Austin and will be attending NLOG and I can't wait to see you. P.S. If this actually makes it on a YouTube episode, please tell the toasters watching on YouTube to comment their advice on how to get through a long-term relationship breakup. I need all the advice I can get right now. Thanks. Okay, so you hear that.

If you're listening and you have advice on long-term relationship breakup, drop a comment on YouTube because the girl who wrote in will be reading them yes okay so my advice is less so on long-term relationship breakup because that's just like you know the grieving process she wants our advice like how to handle like the stigma the stigma the optics and first of all like you have you're unwavered in your decision and you know that it was the right thing to do and that's the most important thing like there's no regrets you know what you did was right and even though and i feel like this is such a corny motto but i was seeing it going around like in 2020 2021 we stopped caring about what things look like and start caring about what things feel like so yeah like maybe it looked

like the a great relationship and it was six years and you guys were just like taking each next step but like who cares what what it looks like when it feels like shit that's true and I think that obviously it's easier to like you know easier said than done but like you have to put people's opinions out of your head like they don't know what it was like you made the best decision for yourself and like you have saved yourself so much time energy and if there are people around you who are like speaking negatively they're doing you a favor by showing you their true colors like those aren't people friends or family that you should really be like hanging out with if they can't even just be by your side and like and and defend you when you're going through a tough time no and like to get to

to be together for six years to get married and then get divorced months later like really something isn't right and so yes you could have like in their view you could have trucked on and then like but then the problems become bigger and then there's more time wasted and like what you're 25 years old right your whole life isn't ahead of you you you've got to change your perspective because you just did the best thing for yourself you've liberated yourself and go like enjoy I mean obviously it's a little soon but like hit the town I just want to say alternative um like idea I think there's something like incredibly cool and chic about being divorced at 25 I just want to say like very Evelyn Hugo it's very just like oh you're so cosmopolitan you've been through so much you're so mature I don't really think like if I don't know anyone

who's 25 and divorced but if I did I would I'm sorry like Taylor Strecker is one of the most interesting people I know and she got divorced at like 28 I think like I would be she's so interesting like I would love to I think it makes you an interesting person I just want to say I maybe not everyone thinks that but if I met someone who's 25 and divorced I would be like tell me your whole life. Right far more interesting than someone who's staying in a marriage that's really not making either of them happy 100 and you're far braver and you'll be so much better in the in the long run yeah because you made this decision like I know you know you made the right decision so we don't have to tell you that but it will make you a better person just for like a million reasons like you're just putting yourself first yeah I agree I think that you need to just like, you know that you did the right thing, but just like

hold true to that. And there's really, aside from the fact that I guess like it sounds a little funny, like you wrote it like 25 year old divorcee or I don't know. I don't know. I think it's very, very chic. And if you look at it through that lens, like you might be empowered. I just want to say it's giving like, I don't know. It's giving like chic energy. And it's also giving because it's giving very confident like I know myself energy and like

I know that this wasn't right for me and even though it was the most painful thing to do and then like we have to undo years of legal stuff now and like a relationship and this and that but like I know myself and most people don't especially it's at 25 even. And so that's what it says to me. I agree. I think you sound like a fabulous gal. And like lean into it. Yeah, lean in. Best of luck.
