Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast, the fifth and final episode of the week and the final episode of the year. Hey, Claude, how are you doing? Hello, Jacqueline, our final episode of the year. How many episodes have we done this year? This will be 216, I think. This will be 216, I think. Wow, that's crazy that, you know, there were some days that we didn't have much to talk about, but there really wasn't one day where we had nothing to talk about. That's what amazes me about our job.

People are like, your sisters, your friends, your co-workers, do you ever run out of shit to talk about? And the answer is truly no. Truly it is no, which is really crazy. I mean, 216 episodes in one year is wild. It's just wild to like think about how many episodes we do in the world of podcasting where like, you know, typically people do one a week. We do more shows sometimes in a month than some shows do in a year. It's actually going to be our 217th.

Sorry to correct you. I just checked oh my god i'm so sorry for that one episode i forgot about yeah yancey constantly being overlooked damn yancey wow what a year jacks what a year what would you say some are some of your highs some of your lows show wise or personal wisewise? Like business-wise. Oh, okay. Because obviously I would say personal, you know, like being pregnant. Blah, blah, blah.

Show-wise, just, you know, just another year of doing, like getting to do what we love. My favorite, you know, stretches of time during the toast is when it's just like we're toasting. Everything is going according to plan you know smooth sailing the community is vibrant the people are happy like that's what I love that's why that's what gets me out of bed in the morning so I don't need like all the hoopla and the fanfare and like when we used to do like more exciting stuff when we could like go to the CMAs and stuff like obviously that's always a highlight but for me just like the the daily joys of doing the job and being able to do this job that's really what what does it for me yeah like the uninterrupted studio time like we had a covid exposure then i

gotta go on tour like it's always something so those stretches of time where we were just uninterruptedly ourselves in our studio, I agree. Like, those are truly high points. So what are some of your high points for the year? Obviously making the New York Times bestsellers list was a lifelong dream of mine. And to have done that was wonderful. And just being toasty gals. Like, again, yeah, I echo your sentiment for sure.

Not necessarily like hitting certain benchmarks, but just being able to spread joy, laughter, and positivity. Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. So I'm glad we're aligned as we head into this new year. It's important to be aligned, and you and I are constantly getting aligned. Constant. So we have a great show for you today.

We've got some great stories that are going to get us through till 2022, and I hope everyone is just, you know, taking care of themselves, get excited for the holiday. It's a crazy time of year right now. Oh my God, it's so crazy. Like, if you're not being super COVID careful

and you are going to see your parents, like just be careful because I know a lot of people having to adjust their holiday plans, which sucks. So just be smart because you got to see your grandma. Yeah, I'm sure everyone, you know, is taking the precautions that they need to and doing what works for them. But it's just, it's why. It just ramped up so quickly.

In 48 hours. Yeah. So what's new with you otherwise? Well, I know it's Friday and we don't usually do a TV recap, but I spent every waking moment of my life last night watching Maid. I also watched the new Sex and the City.

So I would like to talk about that. So I'm going to do a little tv recap and i know you watched made and i would love to just chat with you about a story that has like really stuck with me like i dreamt about it i can't stop thinking about it really powerful stuff so i want to talk about that in the tv recap yeah no it's a really intense show and when i was talking about it when I was watching it it was like it really sticks with you it's not like I would say I love this show but it just feels like an important watch you get so much out of it and like such an interesting perspective and I feel like a lot of people who have watched the show weirdly I've heard from so many people that they dream about it it was very emotionally taxing. Like I felt I got a

migraine while watching it. It was so heavy. Like and so I and I agree I wouldn't say it was the best show I ever watched. I can't wait to watch it again. It was just a story very much worth telling and a and a you know a reflection of our government you know know? Yeah, no, it really is. Also, when I was watching it, I made the decision that I could only watch it during the daytime. And then once the sun went down, I couldn't watch it. 100% so depressing and kind of scary. Yeah, I agree.

Oh, you know what? I have restarted watching just so randomly. I just wanted some good, like I just wanted a sleep show that was gonna like put me to sleep instead of reading and so I'm watching Gossip Girl again oh my god what is that like the 11th time uh it's probably it's the third time I can recall starting from the beginning so I watched it when it was on then I like re-watched it again and then I think I re-watched it again and now I'm re-watching it again so it's just like

nice and it's just so crazy because it was such a sign like of the times and such so I would say so mirrored the city and like city life at the time that it was on so to watch that now it's just so different from 2021 and even though not that much time has passed like it's so tangibly different it's crazy um well I love that journey for you yeah it's been good and then I also finished the book The Family and you know what I really like did not love it at all I gave it three stars and maybe you would like it and I think it was it was clearly like well written and it's like a interesting story it just wasn't the book for me at this current junction in my life I understand that so but if you you know trusted Dana's choice with your whole heart then go for

it a lot of people Dana has a cult following oh I thought you were talking to me because I'm like no I'm not looking at you you said you said if you if you toaster in the wild trusted dana's choice with your whole heart then you should read it no you once you said it was well written i'm out that's not my type of book stop okay well i guess without further ado so we can recap everything else let's just jump right in for the final time and i do think at some point in this episode you'll need to grace us with a song because it's the final episode it's also friday friday gotta get down on friday everybody's looking forward to the weekend weekend friday friday getting Rona on Friday it's so this is it's so much more than Friday though because it's like the biggest it's the most Friday of all Fridays even though it

And if you love fires, which everyone loves a good sitting around the fire, it's the fire better. Better fire. Yeah. loves a good sitting around the fire it's the fire better better fire yeah our first story chris noth has been accused of sexual assault by two women he claims the encounters were consensual two women have accused chris noth of sexually assaulting them in a new report from the hollywood reporter the alleged incidents occurred in 2004 and 2015 the first woman using the pseudonym zoe told the hollywood reporter that seeing the actor reprised his sex in the first woman using the pseudonym Zoe told the Hollywood reporter that seeing the actor reprised his Sex and the City role for the new revival and just like that

quote set off something in me she said for so many years I buried it and added that she thought it was time to try to go public with who he is in a statement Krasnov denied the allegations and claimed that quote the encounters were consensual. He said the accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades ago, are categorically false. These stories could have been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago. No always means no. That is a line I did not cross. It's difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out.

I don't know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this. I did not assault these women oh well this is just hella disappointing because you know we're all mourning big he's been like in all these commercials he's such a hot topic of conversation and i think that like i don't know it felt like like i was like expecting this in kind of a way because he got you know super famous during a during a time in Hollywood where things like this were super prevalent. Um, and I'm just really curious to see how HBO and like the women are responding because I watched the episode last night and I guess now would be a good time

to talk about it. They're very much taking this approach of like, we are a woke show almost to the point where it's like cringy. Like every, they're, you know, checking every box. Um, but they're like rebuilding if you watch some of old sex in the city it's cringy they actually use

the a slur in one of the episodes for transgendered people like it's it's definitely a reflection of the time they were living in early 2000s but a lot of that shit would not fucking fly today and borderline get you canceled for saying so they're taking like this antithesis approach to that on this new show it's very much like a new age you know they get everything everyone like everyone's being represented and I don't know I feel like because they're doing that like they owe us a response. Yeah, definitely. Especially if that's the, you know, the messaging on the show, then your real life actions have to line up with that. Otherwise it is straight up definition performative.

Oh my God. And in the show, Carrie's boss is filming a Netflix special. So her Miranda and Charlotte go to the show. I think it's at the Gramercy Theater and like support. And her entire set, because she's this non and like support and her entire set because she's this non-binary comedian her entire set is about that like people in Hollywood oh my it's actually very meta it's like people in Hollywood like her whole special is called check a box they just do it to check a box but it doesn't actually reflect like the culture so it's literally like her comedy

special coming to life that is really crazy also it's worth noting that peloton has already taken down the ad yeah no way yes and some old um so his ex-girlfriend beverly johnson an old story about um her and their relationship has resurfaced where she accused him of beating her and threatening to kill her and her dog in court documents that are from 1995 oh my god yeah yeah what the fuck is wrong with everyone i don't know i do not know holy shit yeah all right well i guess it's not it's like a non-issue because he's not even on the show right but i do still think that it's something that they will have to address i i don't know i mean no i mean i guess they could they could not but then it really just highlights like the difference between like do like do as i say not as i do totally totally um but can i tell you about the

episode because like most of the predictions that i made did come true even though i can't really take credit they were fairly obvious miranda's drinking like is becoming a thing um as is her sexuality as is charlotte's daughter told her she doesn't like when she calls her a girl. She's not sure like what that means yet, but I have a feeling she's going to be like non-binary or something like that. So, um, a lot of the predictions I had made came true. It was a good episode. Basically they went to the reading of Biggs Will and he left Natasha a million dollars. And so Carrie's freaking out. Like, what didn't i know like they were communicating i'm so mad la da da and she tries to you know get in touch with natasha and natasha obviously wants nothing to do with her and then they run run into each other at a coffee shop and have like a five

minute conversation where she natasha's like i told the lawyer i don't want the money i have no idea why he gave it to me i haven't been speaking to him and so carrie was like so relieved and basically what they surmise is that like you know he's never been a good with words he's always just been good with money and that's his way of saying sorry for all he put Natasha through um and then Carrie's like still in this grieving process and she just like walks around all day and doesn't want to go home and then at the end of the episode she moved into her old place that she still has oh my god i i some of that sounded really nice some of that sounded really painful i know you know when i say it it doesn't sound good but i'm telling you like i actually really am enjoying it

i was unsure after the first two episodes because you know the shock factor of the big stuff like really just blinded me and i was like is this show good or not or is this just like a huge spoiler that and that spoiler huge thing that happened that I'm just like enjoying but after the third episode I've decided like I definitely like it the the the good thing the thing that we at least I like fell in love with about the show was like the comedy the writing like the timing and it's still totally there it's the writing is so good some of the characters like you can't help but love like Anthony so I really do like it I'm really enjoying it okay no that's good but it's just really frustrating it's like we haven't seen these characters in so long and now Carrie is like going through this blinding grief like just like when she was left at the altar and it's like every time we catch up with them it's like the hardest time in their life and that's annoying to watch no offense yeah and like Miranda and Steve are like not

they're not having problems but they're not like super happy they're basically just like roommates like two passing ships in the night who like enjoy each other's company and make ice cream um and when she went to that comedy show as I predicted Carrie's boss who's that non-binary queer um comedian Che her and Miranda they and Miranda are like there's something going on for sure got it I saw a spoiler about that so oh sorry spoiler alert to that whole thing I think that that was given when you said you were going to talk about the show so I I'm glad you're enjoying it, though. Thank you for keeping us abreast for those of us who aren't. I really am.

Like, it's there's no reason not to like it. Honestly, it's like my favorite gals back together, except for Samantha, which there's really just a gaping hole. It's so obvious. Yeah, totally. Like they go to a meal and, you know, every time on Sex and the City, it's like the four of them at a table. So this time, like Stanford's invited and Stanfordford's the best but it's just not the same

no and she always contributed the most to the meal so it's like it's not just like a quarter is missing it's like it's more than that the whole pie like all the one-liners all the actual good advice real life experience yeah yes thousand percent okay our next story a search warrant has been issued for alec baldwin's phone over the fatal rust shooting authorities in santa fe new mexico issued a search warrant on thursday for alec baldwin's cell phone to probe the death of the cinematographer he fatally shot on the set of the movie rust the santa fe county sheriff's office believes there are key conversations on baldwin's phone related to what led to the prop gun death of Helena Hutchins in October. Investigators previously asked the actor for his phone, but he told them that they would need to get a warrant, according to the document, which was obtained by the Post.

This is really big. Yeah. big yeah i wonder i mean i wonder what they're looking to find or thinking that might be in there that would give them more information about something that was like you know an alleged complete accident i just want to say i still really do believe it's an accident and i'm not about jumping to conclusions when it's something as serious and as fatal as this but if it turns out like in an alternate universe, that Alec Baldwin was somehow, like, involved and this was, like, all set up, I don't know.

Because there are a lot of conspiracy theories that believe that. I personally don't. But if that's the case, I will, like, freak out. Yeah. That would be insane. I can't even wrap my head around that. Is that, like, conspiracy theories that are on TikTok and stuff? Well, I just think people really do not like Alec Baldwin.

And they're like just not inclined to really ever root for him. Which I understand. He's like an atrocious person. But I personally don't believe that there was any involvement from Alec Baldwin on this. I really don't. But again, there's no way to know. And now this information is just making me raise an eyebrow just a little eyebrow like yeah yeah they don't get warrants over nothing and this is really curious so we will stay tuned

and keep you posted but I just thought that was a very crazy development no it's incredibly bizarre and you know what I feel like we don't hear a lot from like a lot of updates from the investigation. It's just kind of this like thing that happened and we get updates from Alec like and how he's doing. But there's really I haven't seen like tons and tons of things coming out of the investigation. So hopefully this is some sort of lead. Yeah, agreed. Are you ready for our next story, which is some exciting news for you, Claudia? Personally for me? Yes, personally for you. Oh, I know what it is.

Yes, it is very exciting. Kim Kardashian praises Taylor Swift's music following their five-year feud. She said it's cute and catchy. So on Thursday, Kim was on Barry Weiss's podcast Honestly with Barry Weiss and she was asked what is her favorite Taylor Swift song she said quote I really like a lot of her songs they're all super cute and catchy I'd have to look in my phone to get a name okay so this have just about killed me like seriously like took me out for good um Um, and you know, I have a, so, okay. So I have a lot of questions because even the fact that like someone would ask him that question, I have to

assume, you know, Kim was okay with it. I know that Kim is friendly with this podcast host, Barry Weiss. So I know that like everything was sanctioned by Kim. So Kim is okay with publicly speaking on Taylor, which is just like a huge step in the right direction like huge huge huge and you know what I know for like Kim really has been a Taylor Swift fan for years like there's that famous interview where she's like yeah my favorite song right now is Love Story by Taylor Swift she has been in glam when there's Taylor Swift playing in the background she you know you can't help a bop is a bop no matter who you're beefing with you know so now years later to have like even a grimace like something like a small light is so heartwarming to me and it's not much but it's something and I am taking it

yeah it's it's it's small it's crumbs I mean I don't know if this is going to lead to a reconciliation even when I think about it like I feel like Kim would move forward but I don't know I don't know if Taylor could you know and I don't know and I don't know that she necessarily should because for her like that whole saga was like the most devastating thing like it took a year from her career like every everything changed after that and so I wouldn't expect her to but it's nice to hear the ladies well one say something nice about the other yeah but also you know five years like isn't that long and at some point like the older you get this is just me being you know optimistic

like I don't know 15 years from now I just can't imagine Taylor really caring that much it's clear that this is still like a traumatizing event for her like this is not something she's easily forgiving and forgetting yeah no I just think that sometimes like you have searing hatred towards another person and that's just not something that goes away can be fixed and I think like and I don't think she like stays up at night like hating Kim or anything like that like I don't think it's like you know she needs to get over it and like move on with her life like I don't think it takes away from her daily life I just think like there's a big chance that she fucking hates Kim and Kanye always will nothing's forever yeah. Like it doesn't matter what nice things Kim has to say.

Like the damage was done and I'm just going to fucking hate you forever. No, that's possible. But for right now, I'm relishing in this one small moment that we got. For us people stuck in the middle. I don't think Kim feels that way about Taylor, nor should she at all

no and so i think a lot of people are now like diving way too deep into this like really taylor songs are cute and catchy that was obviously an insult please can we just have one fucking thing of course like another headline was like kim can't name me taylor swift song without looking at her phone okay so i actually wanted to bring that up because I saw that on Twitter this morning. I have to call out page six. Talk about making a mountain out of a fucking molehill. That headline was so misleading. Yeah, so misleading. I mean, how many times do you have to look at your phone to give the name of the song that you like? Like, I can't. A thousand? A thousand. Anyways, it's just one small step for mankind. This is glorious. Let's not ruin it. But you know what? I actually never, ever listened to podcasts. I listened to Kim's entire episode. It was about an hour and it was just sensational,

like covered everything from justice reform to body image to like, you know, when Kim was, when Kim was talking about how she used to be so desperate for fame, she had an apartment on North Robertson and only like the thirstiest people did that. I didn't even understand the reference, but I was just like living for everything. It was such a good episode. And really a lot of like the, the, you know, a click baity moments happened towards the end. She did this lightning round. Tell me your favorite Taylor Swift song. Who's your favorite castmate on SNL right now? And Kim was like, um, I think i think you know so it was

just like a lot of good delicious things coming out of it and it was recorded literally two days ago no i know because she was referencing stuff she was referencing birthday mason's birthday north going live all of these things so it was literally i just assume that like you know the lead time i'm getting something with kim is so long but no she's a turnaround queen of course it was so good you guys should listen to it and like for the Kim fans it's everything we need and I do feel like unlike other Kim interviews we do hear from her on subjects that we haven't already heard from her before but if you've watched every Kim interview and then you watch like a new one sometimes you already know all the information they're not asking new questions I felt like there was new information in this interview and for people who aren't Kim fans I'm seeing like so many people be like oh my god Kim

is just like the most beautiful smart I was so wrong about her and it's like oh good we know we've been known yeah but it's it's always nice to see people coming around and seeing the light. So true.

A Billie Eilish-Joja Cat collab almost happened. The 26-year-old singer revealed that she could have been featured on Bellyache in a January cover story with Rolling Stone published on Thursday. She recalled that Billie asked her to do a verse for the 2017 single.

She said, I remember thinking it was so cute. I loved it. I just couldn't think of anything to write. She called the setback a writer's block moment, adding, I remember that seeing that song blow up and thinking, that's awesome, good for her. That is just like so relatable. No, totally.

Like sometimes you don't have anything to say. And it's not something you really ever think, and it's not something you like think about, because I always kind of assume, and I'm sure there are artists who do this and artists who don't, but like if you're doing a verse for someone, like perhaps someone else is writing it for you or something like that. And so just to like one, know that she writes it herself and two, is going to turn down even a good opportunity if she doesn't have something to say.

Like I we have no choice but to stand. Right. Well, that's like the magic of Doja Cat. And I feel like, you know, yes, I think a lot of like these year end roundups have been very focused on like Olivia Rodrigo, which I definitely understand. But Doja Cat is like literally one of the biggest and best artists like of all time. She's so talented. I've never, I've literally never sat down and like listened to a Doja Cat song, but I know every single song. That's how popular they are and how infused they are into just like culture, whether that's TikTok, she's on TV, she's on commercials, she's performing. She's just everything of the sort. And that's because popular they are and how infused they are into just like culture whether that's tiktok she's on tv she's on commercials she's performing she's just everything of the sort and that's because she doesn't sacrifice you know quality like she writes her own music you can

totally tell and she got this amazing opportunity and she didn't just like give it to some writer like she wanted to do it herself and she couldn't make it work i just fucking love her yeah i agree also her songs are so like chemically catchy yes like the words fit perfectly in my brain like the way that and I think there's definitely like science behind like songs that are catchier than other songs and so I think also it's not just that like her songs are everywhere but it's like if you even if you've heard it one or two times you automatically you don't need to hear it so many times before you like it and before it catches on and gets stuck in your head. She's just a queen.

And you know what? She's also a Jewish queen. You love to see it. You really do. You love to see it. I just love her. Like, I want her to get – I know she's, like, super famous, but I feel like she doesn't get as much recognition for, like, her – like, her fingers are on the pulse of culture, like, constantly. Like, her music is just infused with everything popular I agree with you I feel like she's so popular you know if there's

an award show she's getting an invitation she's performing but it's like she should be even more places than she is yeah what is that she's so everything of the sort maybe it's like she doesn't want to be you know she's committed to the music and the craft and some people you know they do all these other bullshit nonsense things and they're being shoved down her throat and maybe she said I don't want to be Tori Kelly. Yeah maybe it's that she doesn't want to be like an industry plant or it's just the industry like not giving her the respect she deserves which would be really unacceptable. she deserves which would be really unacceptable I agree could be one or the other but like she's like you know I think she's as popular as like Megan Thee Stallion but Megan Thee Stallion's

like so much like a more of like a household name you know what I mean yes yes I do know I know there's something up there's something up yeah if anyone works in the industry or works with her let us know is this an industry choice or a Doja choice? I fucking love Doja. Like, just as for Doja. I love a Doja's choice. To be famous or to be less famous. That is the question.

It's no longer a D'Andra's choice. It's a Doja's choice. Yeah. But Doja only has, like, good choices to choose from, you know? Oh, right. Where the, you know, the definition of a dangerous choice is like two horrendous choices. Yes. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Wow. This is our last story of the year. And unfortunately, like now that I'm thinking about it in that way, it's just not strong enough, but whatever. Do you want a second to go find something better or no? No, no. Because when I read it, I actually found found it interesting ish but now there's so much pressure on it but you know what it is what it is I think it sums up the year

it's the final story no that was not good sorry I was like trying way too hard yeah and also I'm not going to chime in with you because then it gets all messed up when we're okay I'll just so it was gonna be a final and it was gonna be a solo endeavor I'll put my tweezers together that's okay it's the final story I don't know. It's a vital story on the final Friday on the final show. And it's a magic episode. I thought that was pretty good given like the lack of resources.

Yeah, but you know what I actually thought. And support from you. I actually thought of a really good resource um that you have in your house that maybe if you wanted to bring Ben in for a duet on the final story no I really don't like to share like the stage you know that I'm very triggered by that concept and that proposition wow okay I know that people would love it, but maybe next year. Maybe the growth of another year. I'm too much of a diva right now.

I'm too much of a diva. Viva la diva. Did you hear about Luann running out on a $700 bill at Le Diplomate in D.C.? I did. What was that, on DuMois? No, it was on like a Bravo account. Whatever. It got blown.

No, it was like a TikToker who I think was a server. It got blown up. I think she did eventually pay the bill. But not a good look, Countess. Even though like I hadn't heard of that restaurant and I have a show in D.C. at the end of January. Tickets available at girlwithnojob.com slash tour. There's not a lot of seats left.

And I'm about to sell out the Warner Theater. and that would just like be really helpful if you guys can help me do that because it's a very fancy place and I'm like very excited about it. And now I'm thinking I'm like I need to book an after party because I have some friends coming like should I go to La Diplomate and should I pay my bill? You should and you know what I was thinking when I saw that story because I'm just like so petty and annoying. I was just like I wonder what her castmates on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip think because she was like, poor Lou all season.

Victim Lou. What about Lou walking out on her bills? Yeah, because she was literally like, she was role playing. She was LARPing on Ultimate Girls Trip pretending to be this like sweet, innocent Luann Ramona so mean to me when she's actually like a villain.

Yeah. So that's what I was thinking about like I just would love to see what her new friends think about this they should have called it real housewives live action role play real housewives put your best foot forward yeah real housewives be fraudulent about who you actually are real housewives who's the biggest victim real housewives lies okay our fifth and final story we've circled the drain enough we'll just rip the band-aid off chrishell sacks chrishell stouses selling sunset date the guy from the boat robert for the from the cringiest date alive claims that she was that she was 100% already with Jason Oppenheim.

While filming. And when she went on that date. He says. I felt so used. So Robert. Robert from the boat date. Says he's convinced she was already with boyfriend Jason Oppenheim. During the cast's yacht party.

He said quote 100%. It's a fact. Yes she was with Jason. They had been hooking up prior to that. There's no way you would go on a date. A friendly date. And then not even give the guy any time of day to get to know you whatsoever I feel the awkwardness this guy is like saying things like they're a matter of fact but his only proof is the fact that Chrishell wasn't into him I'm not convinced I just want to say no I know

bitter as fuck because you can say it's a fact and then say you know it's because you didn't give someone the time of day no it's a fact if you walk in on them hooking up no it's a fact if like everybody knew it and like you saw her texting him that day like hard whatever but not because she didn't give you the time of day even though she didn't give him the time of day but then you know he really fumbled the ball in a big way with his like dancing stuff. This guy like went from being the victim in the story to being the villain. Like, I hate how he spoke. He went from being the villain to the victim back to the villain.

Yeah, because he spoke with like such certainty. And then the more you read it, it's like 100% clear. He's just incredibly bitter about how that date went down and the fact that it was like on television. And now he's just like trying to make himself out to be some sort of hero and he's just like becoming a bigger loser with every word i read in this article but do you think that they were dating all season no like wouldn't they've showed us that like how much more interesting no but like if it was really early days and she's just like hooking up with the boss no but like if it was really early days and she's just like hooking up with the boss and tbd on if this is going to be a thing so like let's just try and figure it out privately

i mean it's possible i don't know and i also like don't really care you know i don't know i i really like was seeing sparks between them all season long i don't know i think they were i think they were trying to make us see the sparks like every time like was having the meeting with that guy from Marvel who was clearly into Chrishell, they like flashed to Jason. They were definitely like playing with us and, you know, using editing to make us think like, oh, it's a starting. It's the seeds are starting. But who knows if that's what it was actually like because literally Selling Sunset is one of the most fraudulent shows on television. Beyond. Beyond. It's really so crazy anyway so i guess we're no closer to knowing whether or not

like she was with jason when she was supposed to be going out with robert um but he says what he says but speaking of selling sunset you know heather and tarik have an hgtv wedding special i do and you know what? Like, good for them. I mean, I don't think I'm going to watch it, realistically. But, like, I'm closer to it, closer to potentially watching it than I was, like, a month ago. Yeah. I mean, I'm closer to watching it because Heather's, like,

very, very, very slowly growing on me. But Tarek is having the antithesis like the opposite effect no no i like them on the show but still like i still haven't even watched the kelly clarkson christian special like get in line tarik and heather you know what i was actually thinking we should save that and watch it together like maybe on christmas eve oh okay cool i haven't recorded i've just been like saving it i'm trying to think of the right vibe because it's like i think that not in my bed is the right vibe. Yeah, no, you've got to get out of your house.

No, I'm so excited. Like you don't understand, Brew and I are just, we are ready to go. Counting the hours. We're counting down. It's crazy. Like we look at each other and we're like, we got to get out of here.

It's happening. It's all happening. I'm happening i'm sorry mommy loves you so much so again i know we don't usually do tv recap on friday but i really want to talk to you about maids so let's dive into the tv recap which is brought to you by noom instead of setting a strict set of rules noom weight empowers you with the practical knowledge to build smarter more sustainable habits and behaviors using Using cognitive behavioral approach, you'll focus on why instead of the what to change your relationship with eating.

Now, Jackie, I know you've had a lot of success with Noom. Can you tell me about that?

Yeah, I love Noom. It's like the best way to keep yourself accountable and also just to know exactly what you're doing. It's hard to keep track of yourself when you're not writing things down or making notes and setting goals for yourself. So I found with Noom, it really helped me stay on track. Also, I think it's so appropriate that Noom is our final sponsor of the year because, of course, you know, first Monday in January, we're all going to get back on our grind. And that seems like a time to download Noom.

was really heavy. Like I just had, I kept taking breaks. Like I needed like 10 minutes off. And at first I just wasn't sure if she was like, is like, is there a happy ending to this show? Because she just couldn't catch a fucking break and talk about someone like with a work ethic. Like she was just dying for any opportunity to do any sort of work. And I just felt like every time she took a step forward, she took like three steps backwards. three steps backwards. And when she eventually, and you know, I felt like the show was really good because I definitely felt myself going on the journey of emotions with her because when he, when she left, I'm like, yeah, get the fuck out of that trailer. And then, you know, he got sober and he was much more responsible and he was great with Maddie. And you're like thinking to yourself, like, all right, you know, maybe he really has changed. Like maybe it would be okay. Life would be different if she goes back and she wouldn't have to, you know, worry about finding a place to live. And you're like kind of like slowly rooting and you have to imagine that's how she's

feeling too. Cause she eventually goes back and it eventually just, you know, gets even worse than it was the first time, which I feel like is really like a similar arc of emotions to what happens in the cycle of abuse. So I just thought the show was extremely powerful um and the fact that it's based on a true story is just like really like it's like sad but also amazing because it is this triumphant story but this person went through so much and dealt with so much and just it was so powerful really and honestly it really showcased how all these government programs are just like so awful like they really don't help and there's like not enough resources out there and that one um uh what's it called i can't speak shelter that she ended up going back to a couple times which

was like this amazing place was just like there should be more places like that. Like, it was just a magical like place. They give her the phone and the food and the clothes and the boutique. Like, it was just, it was eye opening. It was really, really heavy. Yeah. And especially like, you know, when the services are done correctly, how much it can change someone's life you know so you do see like the government programs that like make no sense like I need to have a landlord to get an apartment like all of these things and it's like how you know how is that ever going to add up but then you do see like the work that goes on at the shelter and all of these different things that they have in place

aside from the shelter like the new phones and all of these like protective measures that they have for the women and it really just goes to show the importance of places like that in in every community a hundred percent like when she got there the first time and they gave her like food because the first few episodes it was like she just couldn't win like the car the mermaid like it was just everything going downhill when she when she finally got there, it was just this like safe haven. And I was just like, I hope that there's, you know, millions of places like these, because it was like the only place that she could continually go back to that gave her a support system. And in the end, it was a place that gave her the confidence, the resources to get back

into college. And it was just, and I found the stuff about you know what she was writing about all these people's homes she was cleaning to be so fascinating and I don't know if everyone in the show was a real character in the book because I went on Stephanie the woman who wrote made I went on her Instagram last night and so the character Danielle who was her friend in the shelter who eventually went back um to her partner she wasn't a real character um but you know she's like the friend everyone wishes they had so i'm curious like who who was real in the story and who wasn't you could read the book yeah i know but it's just it was very

emotionally like heavy and i need like a minute yeah no I I agree and I'm sure there's there's definitely articles like what part of it is based from the book and like and I'm sure some of the um people that she wrote about were like composite or some of the characters that she was working for like composite characters of like a lot of the different stories from the book as things typically are but I do think you know largely it's based on truth which makes it even more compelling and you know Margaret Qualley was amazing and I tried to tell you Andy McDowell was incredible I was I didn't realize how much of a main character she was yeah no they were a dynamic duo they were excellent. I know Margaret got nominated. Did Andy?

No, I saw Margaret Qualley was nominated. But maybe, yeah, I think that, I don't know. Okay. So all in all, it was just a great show. Like, I definitely would recommend it, but I would also give, like, a major trigger warning. There was also, like like that really unnecessary episode with the guy billy like who was the thief the snack thief

yes i agree what the fuck i have no idea i have no idea that was like that was a low point yeah when she got locked in that crawl space i was like oh my god i'm done with this show and i thought there would be and i know that like she went back in the crawl space and was able to like trigger herself into remembering like why she hates her dad um and i and that's important but i just didn't think the whole storyline of her like communicating with this man who lives in the forest like i didn't think that was necessary agreed completely like it was it was so like torturous yeah well i'm glad you liked it i'm glad you watched yeah i did um i felt like i agree it's

like an important thing to watch not necessarily the most enjoyable show yeah retweet um okay like that's it anything else you want to spew before we go no I mean just I hope everyone takes time for themselves enjoys the holidays treats themselves thank you so much for being a toaster if you became a toaster this year welcome to the family if you're you know a recurring toaster thank you for enjoying our show as much as we enjoy doing it it's a pleasure it really is and it's a dream and we are so excited for another year of toast it's a pleasure yeah oh my god okay like bye guys hope you all have an amazing holiday amazing new years Year's.
