Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast! Happy Hump Day and Merch Day! It's so many important days wrapped in one. And it's my anniversary. Oh yes! My two-year wedding anniversary. It's such a busy day. I was so overwhelmed this morning because we have the merch drop which is already live. It's already sickening your shopping carts down. Some of the products are so low inventory we're gonna have to put the future orders on pre-order. So make sure you head over to shopmorningtoast.com, not Shop Hermes and certainly not Shop Chanel. I know it's confusing for people. Shopmorningtoast.com, the How You Dirtin' collection, phone cases, beanies, sweatshirts,
Starting point is 00:00:36 the Redheads collection, mugs, notebooks, sweatshirts, everything. Did I forget anything? Everything. I just want to show off my long sleeve because it hasn't been wearing it on the show. It's a Toast exclusive. It's a brown long sleeve. I would say it's a chocolate brown. I would say so too. With a little small How You Durn emblem on the chest. And I'm wearing the bone crew neck in the How You Durn collection. I'm just obsessed with the collection. Like this lasso. Like find me at Stagecoach wearing my How You Durn bone crew neck. A hundred percent when it gets a little chilly at night.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Oh, I'm ready for Luke Holmes. Let me grab my bone sweatshirt. How you darn Luke Holmes. How you darn Luke Holmes. So it's all very exciting. And make sure you get your merch ASAP so that no one else does. Yeah. We are very excited about the drop.
Starting point is 00:01:22 So thank you to everyone who has purchased. Yes. And is loving. Thank you to the redheads who are showing up about the drop. So thank you to everyone who has purchased and is loving. Thank you to the redheads who are showing up and showing out. I obviously knew that like, since it's my passion project, like I figured my passions would overflow and spill out towards other people. But like the redheads are just showed up in droves this morning. And I just love you guys so much.
Starting point is 00:01:38 No. And honestly, I feel like it's a huge lesson in passion. It is like, and it's really that old adage. Like if you do what you, if you. If you love what you do. If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. And I'm telling you like the redheads does not work to me. Like it's just fun.
Starting point is 00:01:54 It's also that old adage like passion projects are passionate. Yes. That old adage secret projects. I'm sorry. Passion projects over secret projects. Yeah. It's also that um old adage I don't know if you've heard this one that merch is available at shopmorningtoast.com have you heard that I have heard that it's like kind of um like super niche and like yeah I think it's
Starting point is 00:02:16 actually Yiddish it's very old school yeah I think it's originally like a translated proverb from Yiddish yes a merch available at shopmorningtoast.com is the translation. I think. Yeah. We'll have to check our sources. We have a great show for you guys today. Here's what we got. It's Wednesday. So we got the Fast Five Stories because the world is turning and you must be informed. It's super important. We've got the Real Housewives of Dallas recap, which I watched this morning and it was actually very good. We've got Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment, which we do every Wednesday here. You write into deartoasters at gmail.com and we'll answer your problems. We've got three quandaries. That's the right word?
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah. Three quandaries this week that could use our help. So we're on the way. Calling ambulance, calling ambulance, but not for you guys. Yeah. Because we have Dear Toasters coming at you. We also assigned yesterday our toast movie of the week. And we got so much. All of my friends were texting me. They were like, oh my God, I used to watch that movie as a kid. And you haven't been able to find the Cinderella version with Brandy and Whitney Houston on any streaming services.
Starting point is 00:03:16 But Disney Plus finally refurbished it, renewed the digital whatever, and put it out. And I'm so excited to watch it. I'm so excited to watch it I'm so excited to watch it it's a great week of content it's just a great week of toast it's always an exciting week when there's a merchy week a short week an anniversary it's true you know I'm getting my Botox this afternoon like that's exciting well more exciting for your anniversary but still something for me too yeah no the anniversary is exciting we're going to dinner um are you going to the restaurant
Starting point is 00:03:44 I told you to go to I am going to the restaurant you told me to go to i'm very excited also it's like a little no it's still exciting i'm just a little bummed because yesterday i restarted keto like in a major way like i went to barnes and noble like pull my arm i had to go back oh my god we're literally this is turning into a barnes and noble like stand show i agree so i went and i got some keto cookbooks because i really want to still be able to cook because that's so fun. But like make it within the keto guidelines because I'm ready to turn. I'm ready to turn it around.
Starting point is 00:04:12 You know, I've gotten to a tough. You're ready to turn the meat around. Love to hear potatoes. No, no potatoes. Okay, sorry. Turn them upside down. Yeah. That's exciting, like, for you.
Starting point is 00:04:28 It's not, but it's nice to, like, have a plan and know that if I stick to it, I'll get where I want to be going. Because this year has just been rough on my health. No, you are trimming down, and I'm literally expanding as we sit here. So I just feel like this is a really balanced show. Yeah. No, but I feel like if you look at the year as a whole, like I've been expanding and you've been trimming down. Um, like definitely not. No, I feel like you look great. Well, that's really nice. And like, if you lie, like, it's really nice. I don't really care. Like, it's just, I think it's
Starting point is 00:04:57 important that we always stay balanced. And I think when you're the host and I'm the host, like balance is never a problem. Yeah. But I think sometimes it, you know, it's like this, I guess. Yes. No, it's like the scales of justice.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Thank you. You know, I couldn't think of the phrase. I want to say two things really quickly. So one was make sure to watch Cinderella available on Disney plus. We'll be recapping it on Friday. Two, in more black history month news.
Starting point is 00:05:23 So I've been doing cameos and donating a hundred percent of my proceeds to equal justice initiative, which we learned about last year when we watched Just Mercy as a community. And I was very impacted by it. And I really thought we were going to raise like $2,000, $3,000. And we're already at $7,000. And I shared on my Instagram that we reached like $7,200. And I got another $1,000 in orders that I'm going to do today. So I feel like we might raise $10,000.
Starting point is 00:05:42 That's amazing. And that's a lot. That's a lot. That could actually make a difference. 100%. I'm very proud of today. So we're like, I feel like we might raise 10K. That's amazing. And I like, that's a lot. That's a lot. That could actually like make a difference. A hundred percent. I'm very proud of you. Thank you. So if you want to book me for a special event, birthday, bachelorette party, anything, cameo, search me, girl with no job, a hundred percent of the proceeds going to Equal Justice Initiative for the entire month. And we're only halfway through. So like maybe I could get to like 14,000. I don't know. Just an idea. That's amazing. Oh, and the second thing I wanted to say was I had such an interesting experience last night that I was just telling you about. I was up super late
Starting point is 00:06:09 on this Zoom that I got booked for like super last minute. And I'm excited for everyone to see because it was this like Jewish, it was for charity and it was like a Jewish event retelling the story of Purim because Purim's at the end of the month. And they had Jewish comedians like from all over the country put together. There was this great script that was written like it was modernized modernizing the story of Purim and it made the script was so funny the script was so funny Claudia and I were running lines we were crying I was crying laughing like it was really well done and on zoom everyone got on and like did a table read and they're going to stitch it together for YouTube. But it was like Jeff Garlin, Bob Saget, Howie Mandel, Claudia Hash, right? And it was actually so much fun.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It was supposed to take like 30 minutes, but like everyone was just like cracking jokes like every two seconds. And I actually had a great time. Like I didn't mind being up till one, which is crazy for me. No, it sounds so fabulous. And I thought it was going to be live last night. I was going to tune in to watch because the script was so good and the cast is so good no I literally and it's such a great idea I mean if you don't know the story of Purim which most people probably don't it's actually a great
Starting point is 00:07:12 story agreed um one that is just very deeply interesting so whenever it comes out please share that with us because I thought it was live too I'd love a Purim refresher I miss oh and I got a huge refresher but I literally like messaged the one of the people and I'm like hey like where can I tell people to tune in like need to send to my family. She was like it's not live so like I was like thank god I didn't send you guys a zoom link that I had because imagine you like showed up to the private zoom like. That is so funny. But it'll be out by the end of the month and I actually am really excited about it because I think I did a good job of playing Zesher, Haman's wife.
Starting point is 00:07:45 A very important role. A very important role. A small role, but important. No, I think, I'm sure you did a great job. It was hysterical. I'm actually really excited that it was just a sweet treat. Yeah, it was like a fun little evening activity. Great, keep us posted on that.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Will do, will do. Well, I guess without further ado. You guess? You know, I don't know. I feel like there's so much more discussed. Like my anniversary. It really feels like my birthday. I feel like there's so much more to discuss. Like my anniversary. It really feels like my birthday because I'm getting tagged in so many stories. Like of people throwing back to the wedding.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Which I'm going to do like a whole story later with some of the highlights. And maybe that's also what inspired me to restart my keto journey. Like seeing all those fabulous photos of myself. My time up today was also. Like my chiseled self. Pictures from your wedding. And it's just like crazy. What was it two
Starting point is 00:08:25 years ago lifetime ago like don't know the girl in that photo at all yeah uh yeah it feels like a long time ago and a short time ago especially because this year is just you know in the crapper yeah and so it kind of just feels like my one year yeah that's actually crazy 50 of your marriage has been in quarantine for sure but also like zach and i have spent more time together this year than like we would have in in years. So you've really been married for 35 years. Exactly. Yeah, no, that's math. That's math for you, you guys. That's what we do here. Math.

It is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. But not for me
Starting point is 00:09:07 because I'm on keto. Well, you can have a Z-Kill bread. No, I can't. Oh, wow. I could like make my own bread with almond flour
Starting point is 00:09:13 according to these cookbooks. Oh, some people have too much time on their hands. Today's episode is brought to you by Bruch to get those little
Starting point is 00:09:21 pieces of toast out of your teeth. Bruch is the most everyone knows. We've been talking about Bruch forever. those little pieces of toast out of your teeth. Bruch is the most, everyone knows, we've been talking about Bruch forever. People keep tagging me in their stories that they finally gave in, ordered the Bruch, and it has changed their life. It is the best electric toothbrush on the market. It is very reasonably priced. Some of them can cost like over $200. Bruch does not. It's very reasonably priced, and it works as good, better than any I've ever used, and I really mean that. The brush itself has six unique modes to customize your brushing experience.
Starting point is 00:09:49 The battery life lasts four weeks, and it comes with a magnetic charging stand and a compact travel case. They also now have a subscription program, so you never have to forget to change your brush head again. Bruce ships your new replacement heads every six months, so you're never stuck using a worn-down brush head. Their electric toothbrush has a modern, aesthetically pleasing design, and it comes in trend-driven, seasonal colors and looks great on your bathroom counter. I know I feel like the last time we did a read for them I said I wanted to look at the website and get maybe a new one because I have like millennial pink and it's super super cute but I just wanted to see the new seasonal trend driven colors and I haven't done that so maybe I'll go do that today but it's really a fabulous thing. We both went to the dentist and both got

So we have some some lovely news. First up Paris Hilton is engaged to Carter Room. You know I actually feel like this could be the one. I really do. He could be the one. Smooth. Smooth talking. so rocking. He's got everything that a girl's wanting.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Guitar cutie, he plays it groovy. And I can't keep myself from saying something stupid. Think I'm really falling for his line. Get butterflies when he says my name. He's got something special. He's got something special. He's got something special. And when he's looking at me, I want to get all sentimental. He's got something special. Boom.
Starting point is 00:11:54 He's got something special. And I can hardly breathe. Something's telling me, telling me, baby, he could be the one. He could be the one. You can tell me your name. I won't remember it. I'll remember that song Till the day I die
Starting point is 00:12:05 And those are our thoughts On Paris Hilton's engagement Honestly it's really All that needs to be said Because he's a smooth talker So rockin' He is so rockin' He's also a venture capitalist
Starting point is 00:12:16 It sounds like she found herself A businessman beau Like we've been recommending To all you celebs all these years She followed in the footsteps Of Caitlin Bristow And that's really admirable. Really admirable. He proposed on a private island on February 13th after dating for about a year.
Starting point is 00:12:33 He popped the question with an emerald cut diamond ring designed by Jean Doucet. Who? Jean Doucet. Jean Doucet. Oh, Jean Doucet. I love his work crying french no john is actually a good friend of mine he actually goes by joe joe okay so this is really exciting i agree with you could be the one and i just hope that it is me too especially
Starting point is 00:13:01 because she was just um in an interview when we spoke about it on the show. She's really thinking about having kids, motherhood. So I don't know. I feel like, call me crazy, I see a rainbow ending. I do. And though they're on a private island, I will be building my ship to hop on over. Yeah, you can't fly there commercially, so you have to build your own ship.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah, you have no choice but to ship. Yeah, literally. Literally. No, this is sweet um you know as a close personal friend of Paris Hilton I'm obviously thrilled for her and I'm sure I'll be getting an invite to the wedding you know any day now yes for sure and actually you know I did I knew that she like told me already um are you ready for some more lovebird news while we're on the topic because Kourtney Kardashian has made an Instagram official with Travis Barker Jackie O is eating her words yeah no that was that was I knew it was real but to see it really real was shocking I don't remember exactly what I said but I feel as though I wasn't
Starting point is 00:13:54 a believer like I you were a doubter non-believer once were her dreamers One of these days you'll open up your eyes. And you'll realize. Travis Barker is dating Kourtney Kardashian. I have a feeling I'm going to be annoying with singing today. I'm going to try and reel it in. Sorry. Travis Barker is dating Kourtney Kardashian. They posted a super cute photo of their hands interlocked on Tuesday night.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Her nails are sickening. So romantic. And also they had been seen like having dinner together. But again, the doubter nonbeliever in me could have been like their friends are having dinner. What's the big deal? But this is super romantic. And I'm really here for it. And I'm impressed because I think that Kourtney Kardashian has atrocious taste in men.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Like I just always find myself not liking the people that she dates. I remember when she dated Justin Bieber. And Scott has his stuff together now. But he was deeply problematic for a while. Eunice like beat the shit out of some guy in an alley. That video like haunted me for years. But I actually, I mean I don't know a lot about Travis Barker. Maybe I'll find out that I don't like him.
Starting point is 00:14:57 But all the music he released with Machine Gun Kelly is excellent. So, so far I'm a fan. Yeah, I feel like I've heard good things about him. So I'm sure that this is actually a great couple for you and Ben. No Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker like iconic foursome maybe even better than Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, Lala and Randall. Why can't they be a sixsome? Just foursomes are just really more. I think they should they should be a sixsome because it's always good to have like a producer in the mix. Yeah and like two reality stars I actually feel like Lala and Kourtney would have a lot to say I feel like they both
Starting point is 00:15:26 like hate the reality life fame I so agree I think they would all really get along but I was gonna say I think this is a great couple for you and Ben to ship together yeah it's like you love Kardashians and he loves rock music yeah no as much as I've tried to like get Ben to care about things that I care about like he would never care I think he might care about this give it a shot I'll bring it up I'll bring it up I think you guys could really bond over it. I will. I'm happy that they confirmed it. I think that this is, like, a nice couple.
Starting point is 00:15:49 And it's actually been a while since Courtney dated someone, like, seriously and publicly. So, here's hoping. Meanwhile, I don't even want to mention it, but since we're on the topic of Courtney and Are you going to talk about Amelia? Yeah. I know. Amelia and Scott being seen together in Miami. Like, still not okay with it.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Not talking about it. Just want to let you guys know. Yeah, it's, every time I see them, it's like super. It doesn't get more appropriate. It just doesn't. But maybe it will because we used to say the same shit about Sophia and Scott. I don't see myself changing my tune on this one, but you never know. Literally last week I was like against Courtney and Travis. I think I said I wouldn't build them a ship even if it turned out to be true.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And look at me, all aboard. Look at you, you're already getting the materials, paying for labor. So I guess things can change. I just don't see that one changing for me. Yeah, no, I don't like that couple at all. Yeah, but a little more Kardashian news that I find quite interesting. I think that you will too. Kendall Jenner announces that launch of her new tequila company.
Starting point is 00:16:43 And it's already won some big awards. Okay yesterday seemingly out of nowhere the model announced her 818 tequila brand on Instagram. I just have to say if you're an avid TikTok user this was not out of nowhere. We've known about this for a while. You have? Why didn't you share with me? Oh okay so some girl um I'm blanking on her name and I'm really sorry but she's gotten she's already gotten credit from Kendall. She figured it out like she put together all these screenshots of like them drinking a lot of tequila recently. And there was a bottle in the back of one of the pictures and like no one would have noticed it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But she put together and she found the Instagram account that was private and she blew it up. It blew up on TikTok. Drink 818, the tequila brand on Instagram follows nobody except for the girl who discovered it on TikTok. Like they're really embracing it because she was 100% right. Wow. She wasn't sure if it was Kylie's company or Kendall's company. I think in the end she narrowed it down to it being Kendall's company.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And now after like reading Kendall's post, I actually think this is like the smartest thing she could have done. No, it sounds really brilliant. The spirit has been years in the making according to the model and has already anonymously won tasting competitions, including the World Tequila Awards. You should judge one of those competitions. I couldn't agree more.
Starting point is 00:17:51 For a variety of categories, including Best Reposado Tequila and Best Anejo Tequila. I'm more of a Blanco girl, but... She said on Instagram, quote, for almost four years, I've been on a journey to create the best tasting tequila. Then I immediately checked her age to make sure that she was 21. Oh, how old is she? 25.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Well, so she's probably been working on it for like eight years, but she had to say four. A hundred percent. That was my thought. That's a good thing and good investigative tools. After dozens of blind taste tests trips. Oh, I'm sorry. I clicked on a hyperlink.
Starting point is 00:18:19 After dozens of blind taste tests trips to our distillery and entering into world tasting competitions anonymously and winning, three and half years later I think we've done it she wrote in the post this is what all we've been drinking for the last year and I can't wait for everyone else to get their hands on this to enjoy it as much as we do drink 818 coming soon so first of all I mean the way that she's building it like it sounds like it's a delicious tasting tequila so props for that but also I think a Kardashian liquor brand is a wonderful new category for them to expand into right that's what I was thinking because there is so much overlap in their businesses like there's multiple beauty multiple skin clothes
Starting point is 00:18:54 like it's all very niche it's all very like beauty and lifestyle beauty and lifestyle and I think that Kendall first of all now like having her own business it's like fabulous outside of modeling because modeling sadly does not last forever. It's a young woman's game, which is just the industry is just so fucked up. But it is a new category. And I think that Kendall's the perfect one for it because she really is like the one who parties the most. She's like the free spirit. She's the single one. And I think this could be her ticket to the next billionaires club.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I think this could be her ticket, the next billionaires club I think this could be her ticket too I think all aboard and I love when someone finds their ticket yeah I mean I'm still I've been searching for mine every day of my life but yeah no I think this is her ticket onto the cover of Forbes just so they could take it back because they're obsessed with the Kardashians and labeling them billionaires and non-billionaires and then taking it back self-made not self-made you know they madeaires. And then taking it back, self-made, not self-made. Yeah, no, they made that up and then took it back. Yeah, they're like fighting with themselves.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah. It's an internal struggle at Forbes. Like the Kardashians don't care. Don't care. Billion is a billion. Yeah. Well, I think in a year from now, we'll be watching this episode and we'll be like, wow, we were so right.
Starting point is 00:19:59 We knew immediately that it was going to make her a billionaire. Yeah, no, just when she posted this, like, I don't know if you guys felt the same way toaster. It's like, I just got a good vibe. I was like, oh, wow, a move that makes sense. 100%. You know, it's not like trying to shoehorn it in. It doesn't feel like a weird brand alignment.
Starting point is 00:20:14 It makes sense. It's a natural next step, it seems like. Couldn't agree more. Very excited for her. And really excited for the girl on TikTok who just made headlines by being an investigative journalist. We love to see that. And are you excited to try the tequila?
Starting point is 00:20:27 There is a Blanco. I don't know if the Blanco is award winning, but. No, I mean, honestly, at a certain point in the night, like I'll start drinking toilet water, like if it would get me drunk. So yeah, I'll try anything. Send me a bottle. Cool. Very exciting.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I wonder when it will launch to the public. We'll keep you posted. Yeah, we will. OK, we will. Okay, next story. More than 55,000 critics, quote, cancel Sia's music amid autism backlash. Yes, I've been seeing this.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Music, her movie, not her. Music with a capital M, not a lowercase m. It's the name of the movie. It's called Music, the movie. Yes, Sia's Music, the movie, is hitting a very sour note with thousands of online social justice warriors, says the New York Post. Oh, this article is fucking like shady. The singer-songwriter's feature directorial debut has already been widely panned by critics and otherwise concerned viewers.
Starting point is 00:21:16 But that hasn't stopped the masses from rushing to sign a petition to have the film officially condemned by the industry by the way of removing its two 2021 Golden Globe Award nominations. Didn't realize it had been nominated for Golden Globes. The Change.org campaign has already amassed 55,000 signatures since the petition was launched by allies of the autism community last week, 50,000 of which came only in the last 24 hours. Related petitions on the website have also garnered substantial support. In Music, the movie, starring Best Actress Golden Globe nominee Kate Hudson
Starting point is 00:21:48 and Leslie Odom Jr., former Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler, plays a nonverbal autistic teenager. Critics take aim primarily with the casting of neurotypical Ziegler, despite the available autistic actors. Representatives for the film did not immediately respond to the post request for comment. Right, so we're kind of living in this interesting age right now where in the last few years it's become like unacceptable to cast someone in a movie or a TV show as something they are not, you know? And I think a lot of people are split on this because it's like, well, actors act so you can play a gay person and not be gay
Starting point is 00:22:26 you're an actor and a lot of people are like well there's a lack of opportunity for actors with disabilities for gay actors so why not use the opportunity for with a gay role or a role with someone with disabilities and and give that to someone who gets less opportunity so and I hear that and to be honest I wasn't sure how I felt about this thing until I saw clips of Maddie playing the autistic teenager and not that I believe it was her intention at all but it did feel like like mocking yeah almost and it felt like very strange and like definitely offensive to watch like I don't know how all these people like watch the final edit and was like yeah we should put this out like yeah it was uncomfortable to watch it was uncomfortable to watch and I think this is sort of reminding me of the story reported
Starting point is 00:23:11 on a few months ago with the witches movie with yeah oh yeah yeah way where again um sort of mocking disabled people and a missed opportunity for you know a an actress with or actor with disabilities to have gotten that part yeah i don't think there are many parts for written with for characters with one arm you know yeah and also excuse me i'm about to sneeze but the other thing i was going to say oh because we were just having this conversation excuse me but um there are like many iconic movies um where the main character is on the spectrum or autistic and the character who played the the actor who played the character was not autistic on the spectrum rain man is one of them yes um what's eating gilbert grape leonardo dicaprio is the younger brother who is autistic and it's just interesting like how much has changed because
Starting point is 00:23:59 we regard those as like some of the best movies of all time and I've seen both of them and they're excellent but that just can't happen today yeah times change yeah and this movie just seems like a little out of touch it does seem out of touch what's also interesting about it we were just talking about is that it was filmed like so many years ago right so now people especially on TikTok since Maddie's like a teen is like well who are we gonna blame here like do we blame Maddie do we blame Sia and what the consensus from the kids on TikTok is, you know, Maddie was 14. Sia is her godmother. She felt like she was, you know, being protected.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Sia has always looked out for her. Like, ever since Sia, like, plucked her from obscurity on Dance Moms, Sia has always looked after her. I didn't even know that Sia was her godmother. And this was filmed a while ago, so Maddie was 14, and she had expressed that she felt like really weird doing this. And they were like, no, it's fine. It's just art.
Starting point is 00:24:44 So I think the kids have officially taken the blame off of Maddie Ziegler um the thing is well I do think that this is out of touch and not something I would watch like I'm not going to sign a million petitions like I just I'm not going to watch it like that's so that's a personal decision yeah I think that that's appropriate but um, um... We'll keep you posted. This has been, like, a story for a long time, though. Like, because before the movie even came out, there was so much backlash. Like, I saw things on, like, Pop Crave
Starting point is 00:25:12 and just, like, on Twitter. Yes. And I'm like, what is this movie? I thought it was a music video this whole time. But I know Sia was in the business of making movies now. No, we... Yeah. It's been a long time.
Starting point is 00:25:22 The whole thing. Yeah. And now it's finally out, I think, is why it's become such a big story. Yes. Okay, our fifth and final story, a little royal news, a little SRN sad royal news. Oh my God, what is it? Prince Philip 99 has been admitted to the hospital in London after, quote, feeling unwell.
Starting point is 00:25:40 You know what? He'll be fine. I feel like once a year we report on this, and nobody bounces back better than Prince Philip. I really believe that. The Duke of Edinburgh was taken to King Edward VII Hospital in London on Tuesday evening on the advice of his doctor after feeling unwell, Buckingham Palace says in a statement. He left Windsor Castle, where he's been staying with his wife, Queenie Vibe, since November amid the COVID lockdown,
Starting point is 00:26:03 late on Tuesday and is suspected to remain in the hospital for a few days his royal highness um it's taking a precautionary measure on the advice of his royal highness's doctor after feeling unwell so this I feel like this like most things could go either way you know it's either like definitely could you know you know precautionary measure he's the prince we got the best health care in the world. Right. Or I don't know. It's like when someone coughs in a movie.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah. And they took out their handkerchief and there's like a little bit of blood. Like that's how you know it's over in the movies, especially in like old timey London. That's always how they show you. When someone coughs, they're done. It's over. But no, I don't know. I just I don't worry about Prince Philip. Like I lay at night and I worry about a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And Prince Philip is not one of them. Like he is resilient. He is 99 years old. He could probably outrun me which is not saying much but I think he's fine. Like he's just, it's precautionary.
Starting point is 00:26:52 They have to take care of their royals and he just needed a quick trip to the hospital. He'll be fine. Yeah, okay. It is not his time. I also saw a story
Starting point is 00:26:59 that Prince William is like quaking over this Oprah interview because I think that, you know, they think maybe Harry and Meghan will spill the tea. Honestly, that just makes me want to watch the interview more. And I honestly don't think that they will air any royal dirty laundry. RTL, definitely not. But I just thought that was an interesting factoid.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, that is interesting. I didn't see that. But now, me as well, I'm feeling very excited for the interview. Yeah. March 13th, I think it was. 7th. Yeah. Could beth, I think it was. 7th. Yeah. Could be either way, you know?
Starting point is 00:27:28 Could be neither. It's very true. Thank you for those past five stories. I felt as though they were very informational, and you definitely needed to know them. You definitely did. So I guess we can get into our TV recap now? Yes. Real Housewives of Dallas was on last night, their trip to Austin.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And it was full of, you know, giggly moments, but also a decent amount of drama. And I don't know about you, but I stand firmly on Team Deandra. Well, you do because you love Deandra. Love. And I don't know how I feel about them eavesdropping on Deandra's conversation where she's allowed to, like, express her opinion. Especially on a TV show. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:28:01 As you get older, you realize, like, just because you're talking with your friends, like, I guess you could technically say, yes, I talk shit about every single one of my friends just because I express my feelings. Like, especially on a TV show where they obviously needed that scene, it was not fair of Carrie and Cameron to stand outside and then use it as a weapon because she didn't say anything bad. She was just saying how she felt.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Right. So I don't know how, I don't feel great about that. I don't think that's like grounds for Carrie to be so upset, like knowing how Deandra personally feels. And I don't know what I would have done in that situation. I don't think I would have listened the whole time because like it does feel wrong to listen to someone's like private feelings. And I believe it was either Tiffany or Stephanie who said like to eavesdrop and then use it as, I forget what they said, but it was just really well said. Like, to use it as, like, a weapon and, like, and, I don't know what it was, but it was smart.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Like, it's just, it's unfair territory. Like, that doesn't count. Yeah, like, we don't know Carrie's private feelings about Deandra. Right, right. People are entitled to privacy. I agree with that. And I agree that it's not um fair to use in this in this fight and I feel like one she shouldn't have listened the whole time you got the
Starting point is 00:29:10 gist D'Andra's still mad and two like maybe you take that to go and have a private conversation with her right not to like the way that she brought it up at the table like you know being backhanded and then bringing it up in front of everyone like if you really care about your friendship which you're saying that you do like that's not how you mend friendships and by the you know, being backhanded and then bringing it up in front of everyone. Like, if you really care about your friendship, which you're saying that you do, like, that's not how you mend friendships. And by the way, when D'Andra was in that room complaining, it was understandable. Like, her and Carrie have been fighting for months.
Starting point is 00:29:33 She makes a speech to Tiffany? Yeah. Like, I would be upset too. Like, where's my apology? And the thing is, in their actual fight, I do think that they're both wrong. Like, they both are probably snooty. They both don't ask each other enough about what's going on in their lives but I think the way that they are both reacting to the fight makes me more team Deandra like I just think Carrie's so like heavy
Starting point is 00:29:54 handed and so rude in the things that she says like even though it was weird as fuck when Tiffany started crying like about how she doesn't want her friends to fight because it reminds her of her parents fighting like it was so random Carrie could have been a little bit nicer when Tiffany's sitting there crying yeah Carrie's just very harsh yeah and she's not my my cup of tea anymore I I feel that but it feels like the women are siding with Carrie yeah well it feels like Tiffany is on team Deandra because Tiffany and Deandra came in together and I really respected Tiffany for taking the side when you're new in a group it's easier to like go with the flow Cameron is so annoyingly Cameron is always on the wrong side like whenever um I love everything about Cameron except when she gets involved in drama because she's always on choosing the wrong
Starting point is 00:30:36 side she's always just sticking up for whoever she's closest with blindly Leanne like she and she sticks with the worst people yeah Leanne Leanne, Karen. It also doesn't help that they're all drunk because of course it makes it impossible to have like rational conversations so I do think that when they wake up tomorrow on the trip like they might come to a better place but like they're just drunk and emotional. Yeah. And not like. No the only person who was being rational was Stephanie and Stephanie was not on either side. I think she was a little bit more sympathetic to Deandra but she was really uh firmly like the only one making sense yeah I also just want to give a quick shout out to like all of the looks for this western
Starting point is 00:31:12 night because not only like do I love a country cowboy theme but like I felt like everybody's looks really um represented them like Cameron's pale pink boots were so stunning Stephanie was like wearing all light blue like like which is her color. And she was wearing the off-white cowboy boots that say for walking on the side, but in blue and denim. And then Brandy was just like, I just felt like everyone's outfits
Starting point is 00:31:34 really represented them. And the rock star bus outfits were great too, except I had a huge problem with Cameron Westcott because at first I'm like, damn, that's really cool. She had like a concert t-shirt with extra sleeves. I saw what you saw. And then it was a Justin Timberlake shirt. shirt no but like that's Cameron Westcott's definition of rock and roll and like we have no choice but to respect we have no choice but we have no choice
Starting point is 00:31:51 but to respect the lack of taste but we love her for it we really do and I was just wondering like do they sell that t-shirt at the concession stand she made it she made it she made the sleeves for sure that's like really sweet no it's so she blinged out her Justin Timberlake concert t-shirt she's so precious like i really have no problems with her except that she's always choosing the wrong side no i know but like even still i think the way that she handles herself in these fights like she does she doesn't get so below the belt below the belt or in the weeds like she has her side but she's not butting her head into things that don't well i disagree i think she like butts in a lot and just like makes annoying points and like backs up like the most rant.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Like it just, I actually don't like the way that she fights at all, but she never says anything mean. Yeah. And I have to respect that because some of these women go so below the belt. Yeah. This blow up doll stuff is so stupid. Like I can't, like I'm so there. I don't even want to talk about it because I don't want to give it any airtime.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I can't believe you brought it up. The bus was so funny. Like, honestly, great way to travel. I'm surprised the housewives haven't done that more. Except Kim and Croy just did that with their RV thing. But it was really funny. And when they had to walk half a mile in their shoes up to the house, like, I wanted to cry for them.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Carrie's heels were so high. Huge. I was in shock. That was a really long walk. That house is amazing. Gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta go.
Starting point is 00:33:03 That house is amazing. Gotta go. Like go that house is amazing gotta go like one of weirdly like my favorite houses i've seen agreed like it had everything it had every vibe every lake jacuzzi like just everything spa vibes lake vibes usually not the same vibe yeah chainsaw massacre vibes next week yeah it was really it was actually a great episode and i think the trip is off to a great start and i think it'll be great d''s obviously not going home Jeremy gave her some very sound advice I love Jeremy also thought it was so funny and like a cute friend moment when Tiffany gave Deandra a b12 shot yes yes and I also so Tiffany's journey um from last week to this week has been interesting and also like from the beginning I feel like she was like a really well liked and a fan favorite
Starting point is 00:33:39 off the bat I feel like last week we were like okay you're it's it took a turn it took a turn but I feel like she's super self-aware and I really like her change in attitude this week where it's like I'm gonna try and push myself out of my comfort zone I just I feel like in her interview she's really honest and self-aware and those are two qualities I really respect so even when in the moment her actions like you know aren't totally perfect she always owns up to it and makes a change for the next time. And I have no choice but to respect and to stand. I agree. Okay, that was our TV recap.

Starting point is 00:35:59 always keep it anonymous hi claudia and jackie love you both so much and thanks for adding much needed humor to my days while i'm working from home truly brightened youtube truly brightened my day thanks i'm currently writing this under the covers in my bed alone may i add on valentine's day from this you would probably believe i'm single but i've actually been dating my boyfriend for two and a half years he's not very mushy but the past two valentine's days he's taken me to dinner giving me roses and chocolates and has spent the whole day with me this This year, we decided to do dinner on the 13th, which is a Saturday, which I was totally okay with, but to my disappointment, he didn't show any appreciation for me today on actual Valentine's Day. No flowers, chocolates, dumb Instagram posts, or anything. I don't want to sound like a brat,
Starting point is 00:36:37 but it makes me feel extremely underappreciated, and I just spent nearly $2,000 to go away for a trip for his birthday on top of his birthday presents and a Valentine's Day gift. To make matters worse, he barely talked to me all day because he's been running around trying to find a headset for his PlayStation. I don't want Venus to flow roses, but I thought maybe gas station flowers would be okay for his budget. I really don't want to start a fight, and I don't want to come off as underappreciative,
Starting point is 00:37:00 but I'm really sad and feeling let down. Let me know how you two queens would handle this if Ben and Zach pulled some shit like this from Valentine's Day who communication is key girl like you have to speak up you have to express your disappointment like he's never gonna know you're just sitting under your covers he's probably like she has her period yeah you're gonna like stew and make yourself upset more upset as opposed to like this is one of those rare times where getting it off your chest is quite helpful put it on someone else you know yeah it's a burden like let him unburden you right and then he will obviously apologize because I he doesn't seem like a bad person and I don't think he ever thought that he made you feel that way and then you will feel so
Starting point is 00:37:39 much better so I would just go to him you know in a civil a sweet, civil, sweet, just hurt. Like, hi, I had such a great time Saturday night. I just was a little bummed. Maybe, like, one tear, you know, strategically placed on the cheek. Yeah. Like, get that Candice folded up tissue and, like, hit the corners of your eye. Yep. Like that.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Can't, like, this was sad. Just say, I had such a great time Saturday night. I was just a little bummed because I was really excited to spend Valentine's Day with you. I haven't seen you all day. And, like, you didn't get me any flowers. Like, what the fuck is going on? And I just, I didn't really, I was. Sniff.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I didn't feel very special. And, you know, I love you so much. And I just. Sniffle. I'm sad. Yeah. No, communication is key. You have nothing, like.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Sniff, sniff. You're not saying anything crazy. And if he's a normal human being, he'll understand. And if he's not, bye. And then like leave your computer open to Venus to floor. Shopairmaze.com. Yeah. Shopmorningtoast.com. You know, this is, this is not a terrible problem to have. Communication is key in a relationship. So you got to just communicate. And I know it's hard. Yeah, no, it is hard, but it gets easier the more times you do it. Right. And then you're just expressing your disappointment about everything. Yeah yeah try not to be like such a naggy that's like my my cross to
Starting point is 00:38:49 bear in this lifetime is like not being a naggy wife but like having to get things off my chest but it's like literally you left the freezer open two nights in a row and like everything inside melted and I had to clean up all the chicken juice like that's horrific no I know and it's just like it's one thing after another I'm like put your playstation remote away I just feel like a mom at some times and like that's my cross to bear personally. Yeah, no, I remember the first time I was like disappointed in something that like Zach did or didn't do in our relationship. And I was like making myself sick with how to handle it.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And ultimately I decided to just let him know how I was feeling. And just all of a sudden, the stomach ache disappeared. Yeah, no, you're right. And then it was on him to go and fix it and he did right and he did all right next up hi jackie and claudia i discovered the morning toast in quarantine and since have listened every day love you both i am 23 and my brother's 27 back in march of 2020 peak quarantine my parents decided to drop the bomb that my dad was not me nor my brother's biological father they couldn't get pregnant due to my dad having bad swimmers and decided to go with a sperm donor to have my brother.
Starting point is 00:39:48 When they decided to have me, they used the same donor. My parents told absolutely no one about using the donor. Cue my identity crisis. I decided to do 23andMe Ancestry and Health to learn about any health concerns and about where I'm from. I know there was a chance discovering family members, but that's the kind of stuff that happens in movies. My results came in and I have one relative, my biological grandmother. She connected with me and her bio read, I have no grandchildren, so I would love to meet you and your half siblings. Three so far. Then a weird part saying my biological father would need to meet me first. She direct messaged me saying, I'm so thrilled to know you exist and I can't wait to learn more about you.
Starting point is 00:40:23 I'm in shock. I don't mind chatting with her and learning some family history, but right now I have no interest in learning about my sperm father. I can't even imagine seeing a picture of him. Oh my God, that would be so creepy. I'm happy for his donation, but that's it. My brother has zero interest learning more and doesn't want me to share anything about him. I messaged her back thanking her for reaching out, but I said I needed time to process. What would you guys do? Would you want to know more about her? Learn about the sperm father? Meet them someday? What questions would you ask? Should I ask how she connected with the three other half siblings? I don't know what to
Starting point is 00:40:52 do. Please help. From a toaster with a huge family secret she can't tell anyone. Before we dive in, I just want to say like one or two years ago, we went on like a whole tangent about how 23andMe is like ruining the anonymity of sperm donors. And this is the exact case because as a sperm donor it is your right to never get named or anything so where legally does 23andMe I don't know that up that's really that's tough it's uncharted territory and so I don't think there's a right or wrong way to handle it obviously do what feels best to you but in just hearing this what I think I would do I understand that why and how you actually have no interest in meeting your sperm donor father and I don't think think I would do, I understand why and how you actually have no interest in meeting your sperm donor father,
Starting point is 00:41:27 and I don't think that I would either. There's no real connection there, and I think it really complicates things. But the grandma? But something about this precious grandma who doesn't have any grandchildren and, like, you, it just feels, like, so beautiful. So what I would say to her, if this is how you're feeling,
Starting point is 00:41:40 I would say, wow, this is so amazing. Like, it's so nice to meet you. I would be interested in getting to know you. I just don't feel the same way about my, quote, father. Yeah. So if that, if meeting him is the only way I can meet you, then I would say no thank you. But if you are interested in pursuing a relationship with me,
Starting point is 00:42:00 that's something I would be interested. I would also, I mean, for me personally, I don't know if she wants to get all the like half siblings together who were like part of this sperm donors um club club I personally want wouldn't feel it uh necessary like an obligation to meet them but I don't know something about this Gma like she's on 23 and me looking for grandkids like but don't do anything you're not comfortable with so just make it very clear like I would love to meet you I have like no interest in meeting your son and if that's cool with you great if not bye like yeah don't do anything you're not comfortable with grandma doesn't make
Starting point is 00:42:30 the rules like you do so 100% don't let her push you around this also does sound like a little exciting you know this sounds like a novel like let us know how it ends would love an update from you please yes good luck that's like that's crazy that's where you know we're living in the future you know all right third and final hello to the most beautiful stunning and smart ladies wow thank you both for brightening my morning and making me laugh harder than i thought was possible while listening to a podcast i realized that i would be rdh if i didn't write in for some advice so here i am my boyfriend is an absolute p-jum. We recently bought a home and have been together
Starting point is 00:43:05 for three years. After moving in together, dating long distance through a deployment and even after the quarantine, we remain together and stronger than ever. But after three years,
Starting point is 00:43:14 he has yet to post a picture of us on Facebook or Instagram. Oh no. We've had professional photos done and so many cute options to show ourselves and show off our dog. But he won't post any of them.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I recently have spoken to him about how it bothers me, and his reasoning was not wanting Google to know anything about his life. He's very private online and has only posted once in the last three years. I understand his concern, and it's hard to argue because he is a cyber crime agent in the FBI. Wow, this man just sounds like everything. The only reason I've been able to come up with it is because it would just make me happy. My question am i overreacting is this just my own millennial
Starting point is 00:43:48 self making a bigger deal and caring too much about social media yes signed a possibly dramatic toaster if you had told me a homeboy was like active on social media playing farm bill you know like doing all these things like lit facebook account and not posting you i would have been like oh this is shady homeboy doesn't post on instagram like period end of discussion like it's not a big deal no and he works in cyber crimes like you could see he knows he knows something we doesn't it sounds like he's the king and we're the sorry we're the sorry people like giving all of our information up I think that you have a treasure on your hands who's looking out for all of you and your well-being and the fact that he's not like putting it out to the public it's like it's like we're playing checkers and he's playing
Starting point is 00:44:24 chess no being dating this man is like playing chess with bobby fisher like he's not like putting it out to the public. It's like we're playing checkers and he's playing chess. No, dating this man is like playing chess with Bobby Fischer. Like he's a genius. No, it's like being married to Bobby Fischer. Yes. You know? This is such a blessing you have. And I'm so glad you wrote in because sometimes when you're in a situation,
Starting point is 00:44:37 you can't see outside perspectives. And we don't know you. We don't know your boyfriend. But I feel so strongly that like my fresh perspective is right. Like you should be so grateful that you don't have a thirst monster for like a boyfriend or a husband who doesn't care about social media it's such a blessing it's so fresh it's so rare he's literally the definition of a precious gem of a man like you said he's rare yeah precious gem I think he's looking out for all of you and the fact that he doesn't post at all like makes him not posting
Starting point is 00:45:05 you less insulting like you know he's your man if you have other reasons to like worry about his intentions please write back in and let us know of those but up until this point it sounds like everything he does is consistent in his line of thinking you know what I mean it's not like he thinks says one thing does another thinks one thing but over here does something different like this is who he is and what he believes and everything that he does is in line with that I don't think you have an issue no you not only do you not have an issue you have a gift like you wrote in being like I have this problem and it turns out you actually don't have a problem you have a surplus of blessings and you should be grateful yeah so go give him a big kiss so
