Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Morning Toast. Happy Wednesday hump day here at The Morning Toast. I'm so excited to be joined. You know, I miss Jackie, but if there had to be anyone sitting in her seat, I'm so glad it is my good friend, radio host Taylor Strecker. Hello, Taylor. How are you doing today? Hey, girl. Hey, I'm doing fabulously. Hey, girl. Hey. Hey, girl. Hey. I'm so excited you're here. Thank you so much for being here. The Toasters love you. I love you so much for being here the toasters love you I love you I know we're gonna have a killer show you were actually with me on the show like two Wednesdays ago maybe three yes and we did advice for the dear toaster segment and people

your reviews were so rave really yeah because we actually had one um about someone's brother who might be gay and you actually just offered really good insight as a late in life lesbian yes so I was really grateful for you for being here. And I'm so excited that you're here again. Thank you. I haven't been to the new studio. Oh, right. What do you think?

I'm living for it. And the location. Location. Location. Location. You look amazing. Like a gilded goddess. Like an Oscar.

Thank you. You are my Oscar. Thank you for being here. You're welcome. It's such an honor to be nominated. The Academy sent me. We have been hanging out so much recently. And that brings me so much joy.

Me too. I love you so much. Both for work and pleasure. I love you so much. This weekend was so fabulous. So fabulous. Taylor and her girlfriend Taylor were both up in Pennsylvania with me, Ben, Brian. It was literally the best weekend, and I'm so glad I get to see you again.

I know. Wait, you're really good at sharing friends. I just want to say that, because that's like a thing that I'm actually truly terrible at. That's so funny that you say that because like, I actually think I'm terrible at that. But when you know that two of your friends like are meant to be friends. Yes. And it enhances the whole group vibe. Do you know what I mean? Right. I know. But like I was saying to Claudia before we started, I had such deep anxiety and like, I used to be the kind of person, if I got anxious, I would hate everybody that made me anxious,

even though I make me anxious, even though I'm'm the problem but I was like fully aware that it was me but I had like I was living in the land of bathos driving home like it was like highs and lows like I was like living for the weekend and then I would be like why did I say that to somebody we just like drank a lot like when we like didn't need to like at every single point in the day it was like a mini bender in the country I mean i was next level sunday neck you were next level sunday like i was sober i drove taylor to the grocery store because we needed things for nachos obviously and i was just like the sober person in the car like everyone was annoying me because like you guys were having the best time and i was like can we just get the things and get the fuck out of the grocery store

but taylor was like doing cartwheels. You're really scary. You're Stalin at a grocery store. And when I'm sober Stalin, like it's the worst. No, 100%. But like, I have no regrets because it was such a good weekend. It was so great. And I'm so thrilled that you're here. We have a crazy show today.

Do you see all these cards, you guys? Thick. We got a lot of stories. It's Wednesday. We have Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment. And I'm really excited to do all that. There's not a ton of, you know, pop culture news, but yesterday was like a historic, crazy day. I think a lot of people have been waiting for the Derek Chauvin verdict. And yesterday we got it guilty on all three counts. And it was crazy. Like I was in a meeting and I was refreshing Twitter like the whole time and it was just you I really did not know of course the man is guilty but you just never know with these things like what my god it's gonna decide and

I just think a lot of people felt like a huge sigh of relief even though this was like a trial that should have never happened like George Floyd should be alive. Totally. So I was watching it right before I was recording my last hour of my radio show, The Taylor Strecker Show. And I was like such a ball of emotion. And it was so nerve wracking watching the verdict come in because I was like, if this goes left, if this goes wrong,

like I don't even want to be a part of this country anymore. How do we move on from that? There's literally a video of it happening and that's not enough to convict someone. But like, the fact that I was nervous

about that says a lot. A lot. And it's like, as much as this is like a victory, it's a small victory because first of all,

George Floyd shouldn't even be dead and second of all, it's like, this is coming, you know, on the heels of, you know,

four more black people dying at the hands of police. Exactly. Yesterday, a 14 coming, you know, on the heels of, you know, four more black people dying at the hands of police. Exactly. Yesterday, a 14-year-old, Micaiah Bryant. Like, Dante Wright. It's just, it seems like this never-ending thing. And I can only imagine how harrowing it is to be, you know, a black person experiencing this in America.

Yeah. But small, very small win. I saw, you know, it's not justice. It's accountability. Right. And that's the thing. And I think that a know, it's not justice, it's accountability. Right. And that's the thing. And I think that a lot of people's initial reaction was like, justice has been served.

Right. And then I think you start to go through the range of emotions. And so my co-host and I were like, we can't even really speak to this right now because we like literally are in shock recovery. And it's like, we are feeling relieved. We're also feeling sad. Like it was just such a...

It's a lot to unpack. A ton to unpack. So there's still more work to be done but I think a lot of people feel in a small way this is you know a full circle it's been almost a year since you know we all saw that video and so to close that particular chapter feels like it's as good as it's gonna get proud of the jury, for sure. And definitely, I think that it is, it's the beginning. It's the beginning, for sure. So that is good news.

Good news. Good news. But we're going to move on with the show and deliver the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. Two days in a row. I know. Okay, so today's episode is brought to you by bruce do you have a bruce toothbrush no oh we have to get you one it's literally the official toothbrush of the

I'm getting it. It's so good. You sold me on the Tesla stand because mine's got a wire and it drives me nuts. It has a very thin wire and the stand is like literally this big.

It's elegant as fuck. Yes, I want it. Okay, so celebrity news, not gonna lie, nothing crazy happened in the last 24 hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Chrissy Teigen

did go on Watch What Happens Live and spill a little bit of tea I saw on Kim and Kanye okay according to page six Kim Kardashian according to Chrissy Teigen via page six right Kim Kardashian gave her all in the marriage to Kanye West Chrissy Teigen said it's a shame that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West marriage is ending but vowed the reality star gave her all to make it work. The supermodel, who's friends with Kardashian, said she's spoken to Kim in the wake of the split. Quote, I've definitely been in touch with Kim more than my husband, John, has been in touch with Kanye. Anyone who knows Kanye, it's that he goes off the grid,

Teigen added, chuckling. It's hard to ever contact Kanye, but Kim is doing okay. I know Kim gave her all for everything. So she's making it abundantly clear like her and John are on Team Kim. Yes, I mean,

well, first of all, I just want to say that it seems like my fiance is Kim and I am Kanye. You can never get in touch with me, which is the worst

thing in the world. But like Kanye does seem very like withdrawn and he's like such an egomaniac. Yes, an artist. So I mean, even without Christy

saying this, I would say I would even be Team Kim. Yes, an artist. I mean, even without Christy saying this, I would say I would even be team Kim. And by the way, I do believe that Kim really tried her best. How many times has she been married? Trust me, that'll motivate a bitch. No, and it's like, if you think of all the things she's actually put up with from Kanye, like him running for president,

in such a difficult climate, and a lot of people were really unhappy with him doing that. I just think she put up with so much, and she never wavered in her support of him and his work and his art and their family. So I, I knew this already. Like, I do believe like she really tried her absolute best. So he recently came out in a story, maybe like last week. And he was saying how in his next relationship, he really wants to be with an artist. Shady as fuck. saying how in his next relationship he really wants to be with an artist shady as the shady

as fuck also like the fact it's just hard for for kanye like he has to go from marrying kim to dating someone else when in my opinion kim is the most elegant fabulous sophisticated famous stunning beautiful smart in the world yes and honestly for kanye like it can really only go down but kanye's reputation in the last few years has kind of been squandered. Totally. So Kim, it's up for Kim, you know? I have, you know, I've had a range of emotions about Kim over the years. But I've settled on, for the most part, I think she's, yes, epic and fabulous and iconic.

So she's going to be... We will not tolerate any other sort of verbiage here on the show. Which is why I changed my opinion. I do think that she's going to be like beyond fine. And it makes me sad because I do like college dropout Kanye

is my everything. I know. But like I have to remember that he's not that. I mean, he yelled at Taylor Swift. Yeah. That alone. That alone.

Disgraceful. I mean, the running for president was pretty bad. And there's been a lot in between. I know. So like it it must have been i mean it was painful for us to watch yeah he went on those and and he's publicly struggling with his mental health and i think kim has just been kind of wanting struggling with you

know wanting to help in keeping it a private matter and then kanye blowing it up on twitter and stuff so kim has been through a lot. They both have. And honestly, as much as it pains me, I do think that this is for the best. It is for the best. I do feel like when they first got together, though, it was like when he was bringing her out with Jay-Z and Beyonce, I felt like she was the underdog.

And now, clearly, she has surpassed him. 100%. She always talks about how the first Met Gala she went to, she was only invited because she was Kanye's date. And she said, literally no one would talk to her. Like it was the most awkward thing ever.

And now like literally every single designer would die, literally die to have Kim there as their, you know, their guest, which is such a crazy full circle thing. And one of my favorite things about Kim is like in her Eat Your Hollywood story. And I've heard her say this a lot of times before is that like when Kanye first started dating Kim Kim was considered like a trash reality star totally sex tape like it was really considered lowbrow and Kanye was this

mega artist genius genius like influence influential artist and he was unapologetic in her love for her and he brought her around everywhere and he like always stood by her and she was like it meant so much to me that like he was never embarrassed of me like he always brought me out he was so proud to be my my boyfriend and like that's that's the Kim and Kanye that I love and I love that they always at the end of the day like had this respect for each other yeah and he was obsessed with her obsessed and I hope that they maintain that level of respect if for no other sake than for their kids you know well yeah public divorces are so messy I have a question and I'm saying this as a social climber. Is Kim the greatest social climber of all time? Yeah, but you know what?

At some point, it's not social climbing. It's networking. I like that. I like that a lot. Isn't it funny how they're literally the same thing? Yes, they're the same thing. But one is like, wow, she's such a great networker. And the other is like, what a social climber.

It's all about the inflection in your voice when they're literally the same thing. I'm the latter. I am a social climbing networker. I a social climbing common networking thirst monster and i feel like i'm pretty good at it you're phenomenal i think that's why we're friends i love social climbing like i feel like there's really nothing wrong with that i think it's fabulous i've been doing it since i was a wee wee child and like sorry that i just want to advance my personal and professional life wait who was your first person you ever social climbed I mean you have to think of it like on what scale like in high school or like a woman to go first sounds like you have an answer I do have an answer my

first social climb was Kate Bosworth okay she moved to my town as like being in the horse whisperer and I was like I will make that girl my friend because she's going to be a star and I will ride her coattails all the way to Hollywood. Before she was famous? I mean, she wasn't that famous. She had like just an opening scene in The Horse Whisperer. And then she moved to your town. So she moved to our town like as like a Hollywood whatever.

Everyone was like shook. Totally. And she's gorge. Gorgeous. And then we all hung out, obviously high school. And then she did blue crush our senior year oh so yeah was she in your high school so i left the high school and i was devastated when i was like wait a famous person's finally moving to town but then i also wanted to be the famous person it

was a really it was a struggle and she set me up with my first boyfriend wait what you don't know this wait i literally will never shut up about the story like my audience is like if you say kate bosworth one more fucking time i know we're gonna kill you uh we have that here at the morning toast I use a lot of the same stories I always talk about the fact that the paparazzi um had the absolute gall to show up at Dennis's Bethany's ex-fiance's funeral and like photograph him and her family yes and it's horrible it's always like my point of reference when I say like the media is so fucked up and it's like and remember that time the paparazzi went to Dennis's funeral. Like, and now it's like lost its, you know.

Yes. Okay, sorry, continue. So, yeah, she moved to town. She, I left for all-girl Catholic school, which is lesbian bringing ground as far as I'm concerned. And when I came up to my parents, I was like, what did you expect when you sent me to an all girls Catholic school? And so I was happy to leave the public school because I was just getting tortured by the kids in my class. But when she moved in, I was like, I wanted to hang out with her.

But I also like, I felt strong competition with her. I know. And my best friend in middle school, he would like torture me with her. So he would be like, guess who's coming over to watch Dawson's Creek tonight? And I was like, who? He was like, Kate. I was like, can I come? He's like, no, you you left me went to private school and

I'm so pissed at you so she was like really part of like the social fabric of your school yes and then we went on this Appalachia tour not tour but it was like um Habitat for Humanity and we went and built houses and we were all sleeping at like high schools on floors like in like sleeping bags right and Kate was at my center not on my team team, but at my center. And so I was like, let's smoke cigs and become best friends. And so we were like, like it was so like,

did you get Kate Bosworth into cigarettes? I feel like the boys on the trip got us into cigarettes. We were like all split one, all 15 of us. That's like not,

not in today's climate with COVID. You're all sharing a cigarette. I know. Sick. Not COVID safe. And then I made her my friend and she told me I had great skin at the time I did and then um she introduced me to her

ex-boyfriend who then became like my first real boyfriend wait this is the craziest story I've crazy I've known you for so long and I didn't know this so have you run into her in post yes like a handful of times in different ways and it's always a different scenario and does she remember you she does but it was like I remember the very first time because like I I had like reoccurring dreams of like running into her of course so I was out in LA for my junior year of college and my roommate slash really good friend was um like interning at a entertainment like legal office okay so her job was to deliver scripts to clients so one day she knocks on the door it opens it's Kate Bosworth and she was like oh my god I know Taylor Strecker and Kate was like

no fucking way tell her to call me I can't believe it what a small world blah blah blah and then of course never called but like whatevsky yeah and then like maybe three or four five years later when I was working at Sirius I was like obsessed with like she's gonna come in here at some point I'm gonna interview her like what's it gonna be like and I was at the Soho house having lunch with like my team from the radio show and all of a sudden my co-host Kenny was like don't look now Kate Bosworth is here and I was like so I got up and walked over and I was like oh my god Kate hello and she was like it wasn't mean at all but it wasn't like oh my it's not like she's like very like whisper tone fragile small woman it was very like oh how nice to see you like we had just seen each

other three days earlier at the pta meeting it was just so weirdly calm yeah like if you and i like if we walked out of here and then ran into each other on the street five minutes later we would be like, wow. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I actually met her once and she pulled a nice to see you. And I'm like, bitch, we've never met. But like, that's obviously like what celebrities do because like. Maybe she did that to me.

Yeah, right. That's why I'm saying it sounds kind of familiar. And that was the first time I ever experienced like that's a thing in Hollywood. People always just say nice to see you instead of nice to meet you. And I felt like such a dope for being like, nice to meet you. So I learned my lesson real fucking quick. Well, thank you for sharing that. That is so fascinating.

You're welcome. Next story, a little royal drama. An obsessed woman gets into Prince Andrew's home by pretending to be his date. Of course. A woman obsessed with Prince Andrew. I can't believe that that person exists. Like, who would be obsessed with this creepy ass pedophile? A woman obsessed with prince andrew

managed to trick her way into his official residence by pretending she was there for a date wandering she was wandering around for at least 20 minutes while he was home according to her report oh my god the smartly dressed 44 year old spanish woman was so convincing and saying she had a lunch date with the duke that security guards even paid for her taxi when she arrived at the royal lodge on uh on monday oh God. She then spent at least 20 minutes wandering around his gardens. That sounds like... Lovely?

No, that sounds like sexual. Can I wander around your gardens? Check out some of your bushes? She spent at least 20 minutes wandering around his gardens before heading inside while he was home. She was very confident and walked around like she owned the place, a source said.

She cut quite a glamorous figure and the guards were completely taken by her. They had no idea this woman was a total stranger to Andrew and seemingly had a fixation with him. She reportedly only gave herself away when she started talking to a member of the staff to try and find out where Andrew was. To the staff member's shock, the woman then claimed to be engaged to Prince Andrew and said she was there to get married to him, the source told The Sun. She said that that was the reason why she had flown over from spain a couple days earlier by all accounts the woman had a map of the royal lodge and other royal residences including buckingham palace in her handbag she was also found to have a key ring that was in the shape of a cat which had spikes on it that

could be used as self-defense of course it was a cat that potential weapon apparently caused the police some concern so um you know what i just think is so funny? Well, not funny, but it's clear that like Prince Andrew just has like women running about his palace at all times. Like the guards, you shouldn't really be able

to penetrate a royal palace. Interesting word. Yeah, right. Right. So if there's like a situation where a woman just gets in, like that's because women

are just coming there all the time. Exactly. I think that under normal circumstances, I feel bad for celebs when they're like, you know, stalked by creepers. I agree.

But in this case, he's the number one creep. So I actually am here for this. I love her. She's a, she's a heroine. She is a national hero. She is.

She deserves a monument outside Buckingham Palace. She's a treasure. I literally fucking hate Prince Andrew. I hate him so much. For a multitude of reasons, for the obvious ones, but more so because like it's frustrating to see someone like abuse their power so wholeheartedly and have absolutely no consequences, no repercussions, no punishment. Like he should be in prison.

Uh, big time. And like imagine being so cavalier and so powerful that like you are literally the most disgusting person ever and you sit down for an interview like thinking you have nothing to hide have you ever seen that like famous bbc interview i haven't seen it but i feel like what i saw from the jeffrey epstein doc it's just like it like he has so much blood on his hands it's unbelievable it's unbelievable and then it super triggered me with the whole megan markle, Prince Harry things. It's like,

so wait, you guys literally go out of your way to cover the shit out of this guy's tracks and you can't even correct a story for them?

And you can't even just like protect family. Like, yeah, no, no, Prince Andrew is literally like

a monster. He doesn't know it, but he's my arch nemesis. He doesn't know it. But he'll know it soon because I'm going to sneak into that palace next. I was going to say. I'm going to wander around his garden, see how he likes it.

No, he's an actual piece of shit, and I hate even reporting on him, but this was something I hope he felt unsafe in his own home. Me too. Brings me joy to think just merely the idea gives me chills.

Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend is going to jail. He's a bad, bad boy. Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, has been sentenced to 45 days in county jail

according to multiple reports. Entertainment Tonight reached out to their attorney for comment, but we haven't heard anything. The 31-year-old was sentenced following multiple domestic violence allegations involving Panettiere over the last few years. On Tuesday, Hickerson pled no contest

to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend. He begins serving his sentence on May 7th. In addition to the jail time, he was also sentenced to four years of formal probation 52 domestic violence classes and 500 in restitution and a five-year protective order wow this has been like the longest right i was gonna say is this the only boyfriend or it has there been multiple because that's how long it feels it's been a long journey and i feel so bad for hayden penitere because she has just been through a lot. She really has.

And she's really kind of like stepped out of the spotlight because I think she's just had a lot of things going on in her personal life. She suffered from really bad postpartum depression and then dealt with this bullshit. Like I just I love her. She's in like so many of my favorite most iconic like movies that I grew up with. Like Bring It On 2. And also Raising Helen like she's just an iconic actress and I love her and then she was great in Nashville. Oh I loved her in Nashville.

Do you love Nashville? Love that show. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah I know I feel like you don't think I like country. I'm not like a stan the way you are. But you're I know Taylor Donahue your fiance. My fiance. Is but I didn't know that you were. She's lying. We are equal country fans. Okay. I taught her about Chicken Fried. Just for the record. Such a good song.

Such a good song. But I'm like, it's like 50-50 with me with country. Yeah. But yeah. But watching the AMC Awards was brutal. AMC's the movie theater. That's why I kept getting up and leaving. Yeah, we were all watching the ACM Awards.

Taylor was like, this is great, and then left. She like sat outside. It was good. You missed it. You missed it. But I do like Nashville. I love it. And I really did like learn to love Hayden.

Her character was so annoying in the beginning. Very annoying. But she, I feel so, so deeply bad for her. Me too. This is just, I can't really remember, like, all of the stories around it. No, me neither. She really roughed her up, though. She's so private now.

Yeah. And she has been for a while. So I'm just glad she's, like, getting her peace. And, I mean, what is it? How many days in jail? 45 days. Like, that's not enough. Because if you feel, like, she's obviously now.

I imagine she feels very afraid of him. But did they say, what, five years restraining probation probation and a protective order um that lasts five years but protective orders are kind of bullshit from what I've heard it's just a piece of paper that's not stopping someone from showing up and harassing you no we need to really like figure out a way to make that better and And we need to protect Hayden Panettiere at all costs. She's really the talent of a generation. And I think she's a precious gem of a woman. Do you think she'll come back? And like once things kind of the dust settles, like hopefully.

I hope. She's a very talented actress. I really hope so. And she can sing her patanis off. Yes, she can. And she's just an icon. Do you ever see Raising Helen? No.

What? Never. It's such a good movie. It's like a really old Kate Hudson movie. Oh. Okay so the love interests are Kate Hudson and John Corbett, Aidan Shaw from Sex in the City. Dead dead dead. And the kids are played by Abigail Breslin. Oh my god. I think the son is Abigail Breslin's brother. Can you fact check that? And Hayden Panettiere are the kids. Is she like a teenager in it? Yes. Felicity Huffman is their mom. Okay.

Spoiler alert. I won't spoil it. And Joan Cusack. Stop. It's literally a star-studded, amazing rom-com. Maybe one of my favorites. I talk about it all the time. Raising Helen?

Raising Helen. I'll watch it. You and Taylor will love it. It's like sad. It's amazing. So there's lesbians in it. No. Is there?

No, there's no lesbians. You guys will love it because it's a beautiful story. The second I heard Joan Cusack and Felicity Hoffman, I was like, they're a couple. Taylor, you know I think of you as so much more than a lesbian. Oh my God. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. You will love this movie.

Okay. We're watching it. I can't believe you haven't seen it. Is that a thing people have seen? Is it her brother or no? Yes. Yeah, they look a lot alike. Okay. It's such a good movie. Have you seen it? Have you seen it? Okay. We're watching it. I can't believe you haven't seen it. Is that a thing people have seen? Is it her brother or no? Yes. Yeah, they look a lot alike. Okay, it's such a good movie.

Have you seen it? Have you seen it? Yeah, everyone's seen it. Is it because I'm a thousand years old? No, because it's actually like an older, maybe not everyone's seen it. Okay, well, just watch it. Okay. I think it's on Netflix.

Okay. Okay, next up, a little tech news, because Apple unveiled like all their new products yesterday. Oh. So much shit we don't need, okay? God. Here's everything Apple just announced. New iPad Pros, colorful iMacs, AirTags, and more.

So they updated their iPad Pro with a chip from a desktop computer. Nobody cares. They also announced a new line of iMacs like the desktop. Yeah. That come in different colors, which I actually think is kind of cool. Yeah. It's like a throwback to. It's very retro.

Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I mean, it's like. What other shit don't we need they're going to sell to us, Apple? Right. They are updating their Apple TV 4K box with a new processor. Nobody cares.

Oh, with probably a new cord. Yeah. Oh, yeah. New cord. Don't even. New cord. I want my dingle dangle jack. I don't want this one.

It's so fucking annoying. It's so rude. But people are really excited about this next one. They're announcing long-expected lost item trackers called AirTags. So they're basically like little tracking devices you put on like wallets, purses. So yeah. And they have GPS locations. So if you lose your wallet.

I'm sticking it on my kid one day. Yeah, right. Exactly. Like I'm sticking it on like the backs of my earrings because that's the shit I actually lose. Right, exactly. Like I'm sticking it on like the backs of my earrings because that's the shit I actually lose. So they're $29 per tag or you can get four for $100. That's actually awesome.

There are tags like this though. Yeah, a lot of other companies like Apple's kind of late. They're like hella late, but it's Apple. Yeah, and I saw a company like that on Shark Tank and they're doing quite well. Yeah, I forget what it's called. I can't remember. It's called like Tracker Bitch, you know?

Tracker Bitch. They also have a new iPhone 12 color. Purple. Nope. This is like. Not interested. No, it's just like this announcement wasn't that great. There's just like lots of different colors.

Do you think they feel like this insane pressure to like always have these big announcements? Quarterly like bullshit. They really set themselves up for disappointment. This one's interesting. They're launching a podcast subscription service. So they're putting themselves against Spotify and other competitors in the audio streaming wars. Okay.

But what does that mean, a podcast subscription service? Because podcasts are free. I had a friend that was given a job offer at Apple Radio, and it was a lot of money. And, like, she didn't end up going because she was in a contract with another company I can't name the name but she did say like she was nervous because she's like well what is apple right like who listens they have so much money and they pay so many celebrities to have radio shows like Kendall Jenner has one Luke calls one I don't know anyone who's ever

popped in their headphones it was like I'm gonna listen to apple radio today I didn't really know it was a thing who the fuck listens to that? Do you think that Apple is like going to not have a Tay Day at some point in time ever in our lifetime? I mean, Apple is like so integrated in our everyday lives. Like it's wild. I don't know how people who don't have iPhones like have like survive. Like you don't have FaceTime. If you don't have an iPhone, you never go to Starbucks. I never go to Starbucks.

I know. So you're like primed to get an Android. No, I know. Actually, I've heard they're much better than iPhones. I never go to Starbucks. I know. So you're like primed to get an Android. No, I know. Actually, I've heard they're much better than that. I have too. Apple Card is now expanding to kids who are 13 years old. Like that's fucking weird. That's so weird.

That's pretty much it. Like this really wasn't that big of an extravaganza. The big thing everyone's talking about are the Apple tags. Yeah. I mean, I love a tag. I love a tag I lose everything I lose everything too but like that's part of life it's fun and like okay so somebody steals my wallet yes they're throwing the tag in the trash a million percent but if you stick your wallet in the freezer like I do what because why wouldn't you put your wallet in the freezer of course it's

like then it's very helpful yeah no by way, like this literally happens all the time. My friend, I remember I was at a club with my friend. I remember clubs. My friend Alicia and her wallet got stolen and it was like a wallet purse. So her phone was in there. Fuck. We were able to track the phone and it was literally on the corner of the club. So we run out, we're calling the phone.

We look in the trash. Literally her wallet has been emptied, but they throw the phone in the wallet in the, in the trash Literally her wallet Has been emptied But they throw the phone In the wallet In the In the trash Oh my god So it's like I don't even know If a tracker would help Unless there's no way

To get the tracker off Well I mean also If it's like new To the market People won't necessarily Even know to look for them That's true And unless

It looks pretty big But if it's like really Indiscreet Stick it in a fold Yeah I love sticking In a crevasse In a crevasse In a little crease um

i'm underwhelmed by the market you know the apple market same i've been though i feel like i just like want to believe in myself and give up an apple you can't no if okay maybe like if for no other reason than like the social implications of not being an apple user now you're a weirdo if you don't have an apple anything it's true and i Now you're a weirdo if you don't have an Apple anything. No, it's true. And I'm sorry that that offends people who don't have Androids. But there is this stigma. I will say though, that was also my jealousy speaking.

My brother-in-law refuses to use Apple products. I respect that. I really fucking do. And I really respect him. I am such a loser. Like I conform to all of society's standards. Because I have crippling self-doubt and anxiety. And I just want to be, I just want to fit in.

I just want to be liked. I do. So like, if I was secure enough in myself to like never conform and just like not have an Android, I actually have a lot of respect

for people because I could never be that risky. They're independent thinkers. Exactly. They're the kind of people that like themselves. Oh, can't relate.

Yeah And I fucking sucked That's because you didn't have blueprint prep No kidding I'm sitting here being like Only I was around When that was happening I am learning so much about you

I know You took the LSAT? Yeah So my I'm from a family. I mean, we're New Englanders. We're education snobs.

Yeah. So when I went to Ithaca, they were like, but my dad went to Harvard and he's a doctor in case I forgot to mention it. Oh wow. And so I was like, I felt the pressure to be a professional. And I was like,

I'm not going to be a doctor. Cause like I can't, I can't and I shan't. Yeah. But I could be a lawyer cause I like to talk. And I also love Legally Blonde. Yeah. So I took the LSAT.

Those are good qualifications. Thank you. What'd you get? 179. 179. I definitely did not. What'd you get? I probably got, honestly, I can't remember.

I blocked it. I think I got like a 114. Whatever the lowest score is, I got that. I was so painfully bad at law. So did you not decide to go to law school because your scores were bad? Yeah, and I was like, I'm not going to go to some crap school because it's expensive. So I was like, I'm just going to go into the workforce. I'll go be a radio host.

Yeah, you know, I was like, I'm just going to go work, and then I'll retake the LSAT, and I'll just like, what's the word? Defer. Push it off, yeah. Self-defer. And you never did that. And then I got into radio, and I was like, why would I go to law school when I could be a radio show host do you still have like piles of like lsat books like

somewhere in your house no i burned them and i danced naked around the fire i'm dying okay fifth and final story a little more streaming news netflix predict netflix predicts that's hard to say it is their worst quarter for streaming growth in its history why the stock has fallen nine percent they only added four million new subscribers in the first quarter of this year which is i know i'm so sad for you only four million times 11 which is 44 million dollars i'm crying for you it's two million less than it expected and it forecasts just a million additions in the current quarter which would be the lowest total yet. So Netflix has come

back down to earth after stratospheric gains during the opening months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The streaming giant on Tuesday reported 3.98 million new paid subscribers

in the first quarter which is down from 8.5 million reported in the previous quarter. And then before that was 6 million. And they predicted

three months ago that they would have six million for this year but they did not well the thing is they set the bar so damn high that it's like where do they have to go it's either they stay stagnant or they go down so i feel like this type of like self-statistic is difficult like they should be competing against the rest of the industry and i'm not gonna lie like i don't really care what this means for the streaming wars but here's what it means for me people are watching less Netflix like we're we're we're almost out of the pandemic like that's what this means to me like yeah when we were reporting on like 16 million people signed up for uh Netflix

in the first three months of COVID I'm like oh fuck we are like doomed like we're all just going to be in our house getting fat like watching TV yes and now it's like oh wait we are leaving our houses we're not watching as much TV like right we're going to Mykonos, you know? That's what this story means to me. I agree. And also, yeah, I mean, it's hard to cry for them when they've still got $44 million coming in. No, I know. It's like, don't cry for me.

But do you think it is also like the Disney+, the Paramount+, and like the competition, the HBO? I mean, HBO has like sick shows right now. What do you subscribe to? Like, what do you pay for? Okay, Hulu, Amazon Prime, but I really like want to stop supporting Jeff Bezos. So I think I'm going to stop. HBO has like sick shows right now. What do you subscribe to? Like what do you pay for? Okay. Hulu. Amazon Prime. But I really like want to stop supporting Jeff Bezos.

So I think I'm going to stop. How do you stop having Amazon Prime? I do not know. But I'm. How are you going to like order like cups? Like how do you. I'm going to open my door. No.

And walk outside. No. And go to the drugstore. No I'm serious. Like for me, Amazon Prime, if I had to cancel anything, I would never cancel Amazon Prime because you get Prime Video with your Prime subscription, right?

Right. But that's what I'm saying is we have that, but I might try to cut the cord because I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to like not make Jeff Bezos more of a billionaire. I think that's a huge mistake because you know what?

He's going to be a billionaire regardless and you're going to be the asshole who's run out of cups. Fair. You know what? This week, Taste oflor is all about taking down pesos so don't even listen to it because no the thing is it's a lie i get i get like the the message they're crazy things though that like i like in the pockets that we talk about like that he does that you're like what no am I supporting? Of course. But, but you're going to make no impact on him. And it's just going to like lessen the quality of your life because Amazon, as much as people

like hate it, it is the most efficient way of getting groceries these days of getting literally anything you need. So why would you just ruin your life to make a point? That's literally going to do nothing. What did you say this weekend? What did I say? Oh, I actually was thinking about it by artificial by international. We were, we were driving home from the grocery store

and there was like this really kind of like, you know, like hippie Jeep in front of us and had like all these different bumper stickers. And one of them like really spoke to me because it was literally the antithesis of everything I believe in. It said, buy local. No, no, buy organic, buy local.

And I'm like, literally, no. If I had a bumper sticker, it would say Buy artificial Buy internationally Like if it's not processed And made in China Like I don't want it

So that's my mantra right now And that's why I love Amazon I respect that you want To have principles I really do Yeah But at the expense Of your own like

Convenience Yeah I don't know if I agree with that We're gonna see But so but for right now Hulu Prime Netflix Disney Plus because my fiance's a child I love Disney Plus by the way I never watch it um do you guys pay for it like as a household or like you share with your families we pretty much our families share with us we pretty much pay for all of them HBO Max and then

I'm gonna get Paramount Plus Because I'm on Paramount Plus Oh yeah you Getting younger Taylor hosts The after show For Younger Which is literally My favorite show

New season is coming soon It's out It is So they dropped it On Paramount Plus Oh wait all the episodes For the first four Oh I love that

For the final season And then I think It's gonna air on TV Land Like in it's regular season But like with commercials And the Ho Chi Minh If you want it early You have to get Paramount Plus Oh my god I did not know that first of all I will be

getting Paramount Plus second of all Taylor knows the ending she won't tell me and I don't even want to know I won't I won't you don't want to know I I would never ruin that moment that I got to have with the end of the show because it's basically it's like a sex in the city it's like Carrie you know Petrovsky big like it's okay I'm excited for it it's really good you are on Paramount Plus that's so exciting you're on a streaming service I know so getting younger the after show is also on it so I'm definitely gonna get that and I'm trying to think what else I kind of want to get Showtime just because there are shows that I love there but I don't know if I'm gonna do it but you know I know you want to get rid of Amazon but you know you can subscribe to Showtime through Amazon

and pay seven dollars oh fine I guess I give. I'm just saying it's so convenient. But yes, I have like every streaming service too. But I only, like I pay for HBO Max and share it with the family. Like Olivia pays for Disney and shares it with the family. That's smart. We all just kind of hold our own. Jackie had a Discovery Plus and refused to give anyone her password, which was really fucked up because like we have a system.

Wait, why? What was her logic behind that? She like, I called her. She was raving about Discovery Plus on the podcast. fucked up because like we have a system wait why what was her logic behind that she like i called her she was raving about discovery plus on the podcast oh also i have an update from you got for you guys about jackie i totally forgot i'll get that in a second she was raving raving raving about how the cooking shows have been so like therapeutic and it's just like a great thing to watch so i call her and i'm like okay i downloaded discovery plus like give me your password she's like honestly i don't know i like just make your own i'm like excuse me i'm like we have a system

here we all share everything. This is the way it goes, girlfriend. We have five profiles on Netflix, profiles on HBO Max. I'm like, what the fuck? She wouldn't give it to me. So I signed up for a free trial and then I canceled it. It was so rude. I'm dead.

But I did want to update everyone on Jackie's progress before we dive into Dear Toasters, which is our advice segment. Yes. So I don't know if you know, Jackie's on this kind of wellness retreat. I wasn't sure if she was on vacation or what. Well, define vacation because she's on this like health retreat. No, no, no. That's not a vacation.

Vacation is eating everything in sight and drinking like a fish. Yes. So I spoke to her this morning because I have been getting a lot of messages, people wanting an update from her. She's really kind of off the grid. She's just not posting on social media. Part of the wellness retreat, right? It's just like finding your inner peace.

But she's doing really well. She wasn't sure about which facility to go to and the one that she wanted to go to was so expensive. I literally would not let her pay that. So she found a much more

reasonably priced one. But, you know, you do get what you pay for. So we were afraid she was going to show up and be shot, you know. But she was not. It's lovely.

She said she's found everything she was looking for good she was just looking for like a like a calm retreat to you know balance her health her mind to work out and she's so happy there she thanks everyone for reaching out she's just like taking time away and she said she's doing really good I mean she literally facetimes me every day so she's like still on her phone but um she's doing really well. So that was an update for everyone. And now we're going to dive into Deer Toasters. Oh my God, I'm out of breath.

Give me a second. I just spit all over myself. Okay. Diving into Deer Toasters, which is brought to you by BetterHelp.

All right, Dear Toasters, our advice segment. If you ever want to write in, it's deartoasters at gmail.com. First up, it's a little bit long. Okay, I like long ones. First of all, hi, I love you look at apartments because I'm moving to my first place without a roommate. When I arrived for my first showing, the realtor was no joke the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on.

He was so cool, and I felt like we really hit it off. Once I signed for the place and was no longer at risk of seeing this man ever again, I decided to shoot my shot and ask him for drinks. He said yes. I was shook, both that he said yes and that I found a man in the wild. Since then, I've gone on a few great dates and I had some solid makeout sessions. When I'm with him, he seems so cool, very normal, and we have great conversations. Honestly, potential boyfriend material.

We both discussed what we were looking for and seemed to be on the same page. The issue is that when I'm not with him, he is the worst. Only replies to my messages with repulsive attempts at flirting and being cute, and they are so cringy, they make me want to die. I can't even ask him how his day is going without him turning it around into some sort of attempted flattery of course it's nice sometimes but every message he calls me weird nicknames constantly tells me that he misses me even though we've only hung out a few times and other things that make him seem like a total smooze when i see his name pop up on my phone it gives me a pit in my stomach my question is what do i do this man

seems so normal in real life but the way he acts when i'm not with him is painful he is a stage five is he a stage five clinger or just a bad flirt how do i politely tell him to chill the fuck out sincerely a toaster who just wants a normal man i hate this because i know i i get it like yeah oh my god like texting it's so it sucks because it's such an important part of like relationships when it really shouldn't be it really shouldn't be because it's just like about the connection but this is a problem we live in a 20 she's a 21st century gal I know god well the thing is I dated this guy one time and he was like so good on paper and he like said he would buy me Chanel's which is like really the way to my heart so I wanted to be with him but he in person was

cringy right that gave me a pit. And one time he like did the biggest like spit string in my life. And I like wanted to die. I don't know. So I know the feeling. Yeah. But it's, I, I'm trying to like figure out, is it different in person than it is on the phone?

Because like the thing that hooked me to my fiance now and made me a lesbian was her texting skills. Oh, wow. It is important, but you're right. Like it could be so much worse. Like would you rather have someone who's terrible in person but a great texter or someone who's great in person and who just texts weird? Some people just grew up and didn't learn the proper social boundaries when it comes to texting. Maybe just like stop texting him so much. I actually feel like great relationships like really flourish. When you text so much, then you mean person and

you literally have nothing to talk about. I agree with that. Call him. I know that sounds scary. It also sounds like an attack. FaceTime. Oh, voice memo. Oh, yes. Mystery solved. Yeah. I would just like trying to wean off the text messaging, which is hard people our age i know i know it's such an integral part of like connections well and all voicemails are for grandmas and moms and i get like cold calling people feels like an assassination so how about just do the voice memos because maybe then he'll learn through example to do them back but what about facetime why facetime me you we aren't we aren't compatible? That is like What a terrorist you are If you FaceTime I know

Oh my god But I actually feel like People have really cute Like FaceTime Like conversations No they do I mean Tay's family Constantly FaceTimes

And I love them so much So do we I'm like why Why do you have to Look at me right now? I know but it's like Come on Once you're comfortable

With someone It can actually be Like a really great Way of communicating Yeah me and my 15 shins Have a blast FaceTiming But that's why You could also like You know work it With angles and lighting with someone and it can actually be like a really great way of communicating. Yeah, me and my 15 shins have a blast FaceTiming. But that's why you could also like, you know,

work it with angles and lighting. But that is exhausting. Dating is exhausting. So get on board, Taylor. I say try a new method of communication when you're not in person and give this guy a chance

because I feel like if he's great... It's not worth breaking up with someone. No, no, no, no, no. And it's such a great story. Like he sold me my apartment. Like it's so cute.

And he's cute. Yeah, and he's obviously successful. Like he has a real job. No, no, no, no, no. And it's such a great story. Like, he sold me my apartment. Like, it's so cute. And he's cute. Yeah, and he's obviously successful. Like, he has a real job. Do you know how rare that is? Seriously. Sounds like there's more good than bad here. I wouldn't let it bother you that much. Try.

All right, next up. Hey, Claudia and Jackie. Taylor. I have a weird one for you. I'm 27 and currently live in Los Angeles. I don't consider myself someone who's so LA, but I don't know if I can claim that after this. Back in 2018, I casually dated this guy in the film industry.

Let's say his name is Andrew. We dated for eight months. Super casual, friends with benefits. He worked on a bunch of TV shows and movies, but it was his dream to be a director. That Christmas, he flew home to New York, and while he was there, he reconnected with his college girlfriend, and it nearly turned his whole world upside down. He came back to LA and told me all about it. This kid looked borderline shell-shocked because his reconnection had made him nearly uproot his whole life and move back He came back to LA and told me all about it. This kid looked borderline shell-shocked

because his reconnection had made him nearly uproot his whole life and move back to New York to be with her. But he never did it, and six months later, we stopped hooking up because it was amicable. But it was amicable. Right. Flash forward to now. We've long parted ways and date other people,

and I see on social media that he's finished filming his first indie movie. So obviously I'm curious what it's about. I just about lose my mind when I see the storyline that's identical to what happened over the holidays. you I just about lose my mind when I see the storyline is identical to what happened over the holidays while we were dating and the three main characters are him the ex-girlfriend he couldn't move on from and the new girl in his life aka me oh my god she's got the same hair the same eyes and based on some set photos nearly the same outfits I wore on some of our dates I should also mention he texted me out of the blue last year,

letting me know he got funding for a film and asked if I would consider him using my apartment living room for a few scenes since they needed a feminine space. I said no because of COVID, but now I'm wondering if this was supposed to be the living room for the character version of me. The movie comes out sometime this year, but what do I do with this information?

Do I just message him being like, am I a character in your movie? Or do I just wait for this premiere and hope to God I'm portrayed well? a very la toaster wow i have to say something it's a crazy story but it's an indie film so like don't worry no one cares like it's not it's not legit unless you care about like this guy and like you maybe like could see a relationship with him in the future this could just be like a fat like a story about like who you are now like one of your crazy stories like i don't think you have to like

figure it out as somebody who lives my life to tell my story which then involves other people's story I'd be a hypocrite to like say this guy's in the wrong but what I really don't like is that he asked to use her apartment without giving her intel it would have just been nice to get a heads up period especially since he asked you like that's my thing like if you just like saw it on social and he didn't ask it's like well it's his like his version his story his right yeah but the fact that he did involve you for your apartment then he should have like ponied up the information yeah but I don't know if you don't really care about this guy anymore I don't really feel like you need to like hash it out like this could just be like a funny story you tell when you're drunk. Yes. And you could always use more of those stories.

I know I can. Yep. What's your go-to drunk story? My go-to drunk story? Probably the fact that I reset my engagement ring from my ex-husband.

That's a good one. It's also your go-to sober story. Well, I'm always drunk. Yes. So there really is no difference. Our third and final Dear To toasters, is an update.

Okay. From a previous one. Hi, guys. I had previously emailed about my friend who really smelled. She smelled. Her clothes smelled. Her car smelled. It was bad.

I'm happy to report that in the past year, she did a complete 180 and made her health and hygiene a priority. And she no longer smells or wears clothes that smell. Unfortunately, there's a new problem i recently started dating someone and a few nights ago i told my ex smelly friend that my new guy sent me a sexual text he sent it to he sent it when i was with her and i was caught off guard because we haven't even had sex yet so i mentioned it to her she said that if her boyfriend had had texted that to her she'd break up with him this is where the problem comes in i started fuming

as she recently got back with her loser ex and maybe she has pretend amnesia but i have text messages from her where she unfortunately shared that he went to orgies and got tied up and got his butt licked by people his smelly butt i'm sorry i just i need to start from the beginning i have text messages from her where she shared that he went to orgies got got tied up, and had his butt licked by other people. I'm dead. And I swear to God, she told me that he ties a belt around his neck when he masturbates so he can pass out. To each their own, but I could have gone my entire life without knowing that.

And hello, isn't that dangerous? Should I remind her of these things that she told me about her then ex and what he did when they were broken up and she hated him? I don't get why she would react that way to a text message that was nothing compared to what she would judge her boyfriend for when they weren't together. Please help. I mean, that, there's a lot. That took a turn.

We went from smelly to asphyxiation. Now, this friend, okay, so basically the quandary here is that, like, her friend is being really judgmental about this guy she's seeing sending her sex. But it's like, we know what your ex-boyfriend did and you were totally fine with it. So, it's like now judgy wedgy was a bear when your boyfriend was getting his butt licked? Well, here's the thing. So, Stinky McGee's mad at you for telling her that she was stinking. So, she hates you forever.

Yes! Oh, that's it. It's revenge. So, she is just sitting here like waiting for you to give her any information, either your life or your boyfriend that she can judge and make you feel as bad as you made her feel but the thing is you're being good friend i didn't even think of that you need to tell your friend that you smell you need to tell your friend that you smell but i do remember saying like sometimes people smell not because they're dirty but because it's like some sort of um like halitosis or some shit like that yeah it's like a do i smell no no but not like a disease it's like uh they're rotting from the inside out no some people have like disorders that make them smell i actually know someone who

does so like really not like i'm not like from the mouth not in the body yes so they're like it's side effects of different medications like it's all it could be all these different things so you have to be really sensitive when you tell someone they smell because oh yeah it's true if it's hygienic i think most of the time it's not hygienic because most people will know when they smell like a normal person Who like has a working nose Not if they had COVID And they can't smell

And taste anymore I am like Every day I'm like Do I smell Do I smell Do I smell You don't smell You look great

Swear Yeah but I just think You have to be sensitive In how you You do You can't just be like You stink I remember

Stinky McGee Waspined Like my mom Would come and stay with us In our mansion apartment And one time he was like Your mom's perfume My mom wears Chantilly from Walgreens.

It's like such a thing. And my mom is so fucking fabulous. But it's the one thing. It's like my dad, when he was poor, medical school, bought a firm. So it's like their youthful romance. I love that. So even though it's like cheap, cheap drugstore shit, it's just like their thing. Yeah.

And she douses in it. And so he was like, you have to tell your mom she's not allowed to spray her perfume in the apartment. That's such a mean thing to say. And I was like you have to tell your mom she's not allowed to spray her perfume in the apartment and a mean thing to say and I was like you can tell my mom like I'm not gonna and that was something that doesn't even smell bad so I get how hard it can be yes to tell somebody they stink so like the fact that you did that is it really is brave good brave friend thing to do but she she's mad hates you she's mad yeah like that's what it is yeah we all know that that's a good point I totally didn't even think of that yeah but honestly this girl sounds like trouble like is a friendship worth

pursuing first she smells then she's judgmental like it's honestly like i don't think it's worth the trouble i don't either i mean there are plenty of fishes in the sea especially when it comes to friendship yeah like not every friendship is meant to last forever no but we're sorry you're dealing with that but thank you for being vulnerable and opening up to us and giving us an update.
